Reasonable Doubt (2025)

(EAW Intro Plays)

(The scene opens in black and white. There is a 57’ Black El Dorado Cadillac driving through the mean streets of Philadelphia. The man wears a hat and trench coat, he looks like a detective. A scar across his forehead, smoking a cigar.)

Narrator: Philadelphia, they call it the City of Brotherly Love, but it is the biggest cesspool of criminal activity. The dirtiness is actually comforting for a man like me, but when I’m investigating a murder, well, that takes precedence. Guys like Vito Scrapelli and Johnny “The Hammer” Benito always seem to be involved, the life of crime, but this one is different. When a bunch of EAW Elitists come into my town, I need to find out who did it.

(As The Detective arrives at the police station, he walks in, two officers are stand in a very dim lit room, the Detective sits down and there is someone sitting across from him, they have one arm cuffed. He lights a cigarette.)

Narrator: Smoke?

(The Detective offers the person a cigarette, but they shake their heads.)

Narrator: Fine, suit yourself. You know why you’re here, you along with a whole bunch of you cretins from the EAW are suspects to a murder. I was standing outside looking at the chalk line and when I see you, know what I smell? VIGILANTE.

(The person comes out of the Shadow, and it is Milli Banks.)

Milli Banks: You’re kidding me, right? Do I look like a vigilante to you, chile. Come on, I was minding my own business getting a Philly Cheese with my boo, and here your cops are wanting to take pictures with me and stuff. And why is everything black and white here?

Narrator: You had reason, because it could be one of those druids things. Or that Ruler cultist guy that you are facing, I know your kind.

Milli Banks: You rac-

Narrator: Rich, good looking, sassy, like a Siren leading fishermen into the rocks.

Milli Banks: You know what, maybe I will have a cigarette.

(As he lights the smoke, The Detective knows she wasn’t guilty. Over the next few hours he continued to ask questions. Next was Ruler.)

Narrator: Where were you when this happened? I know people like you, those street preachers and cult leaders. Maybe it wasn’t you but a minion. Nevertheless, tell me.

Ruler: Call my lawyer.

Narrator: I hate you.

(The next one was up was Cody Maverick.)

Narrator: Okay loudmouth, Where were you?

Cody Maverick: With your wife.

Narrator: Nobody likes a smart ass.

(At this point the Detective didn’t see this going anywhere.)

Narrator: These EAW Elitists are tough cookies to track but it seems like you are just a little girl. Do you speak English?

(He was talking to Miku Sakai)

Miku Sakai: Fuck you asshole.

Narrator: That answers my question.

(As he kept talking to people over and over, all the Detective could do was hope that he would find some answers.)

Narrator: Okay, you look like a crook.

(SOSA Henderson just stares at the Detective.)

SOSA Handerson: This is racial profiling.

Narrator: NEXT!

(The next Elitist walks in.)

Narrator: You seem like a very kind young woman. You can go.

(But Auburn Ware tilts her head as if she is almost insulted by this gesture.)

Auburn Ware: OMG, really? You brought me into this police station to interrogate me and think I’m too kind looking to do anything like this!?

Narrator: Well… did you?

Auburn Ware: Uhhh… NO!

Narrator: My hunch exactly…. So, go.

Auburn Ware: Rude!

(As she storms out the Detective is almost at wits end, just as TLA and Ryan Wilson walk in.)

Ryan Wilson: If you don’t mind me asking the officer, sir. Why are we here? Do we look like murderers?

Narrator: I don’t trust gingers, so yes.

TLA: I got this buey.

Narrator: Well, look at you, all fancy in a suit, you look like one of Scrapelli’s goons. So, tell me, amigo, how much is he paying you to be a hitman?

TLA: Nada. The only illegal activity I participate in buey is running a Poon Palace…. That is if we were in Canada.

Ryan Wilson: Yeah we have a lot of restrictions up there, no Poons.

Narrator: Get out of here… NOW!

(It didn’t take long for the Detective to be confronted by Donovan Duke, Harper Lee and Silas Mason.)

Silas Mason: You can talk to my lawyer.

Narrator: But before we do, I think all three of us know that you are a syndicate, a crime family and I believe that maybe you had something to do with this murder. I can tell the criminals and the swarmy look on this guy’s face and this woman with her purple hair…. Oh yeah, you three are guilty.

Donovan Duke: The only thing I am guilty of is being the Answers World Champion. The only thing Harper is guilty of is being beautiful,. Talented young woman that is already going to be a Hall of Famer.

Harper Lee: Seriously Detective, take up videogames, you are not very good at this.

Narrator: I don’t like your attitude, young lady. I think we need to investigate you further.

Silas Mason: Detective do you have any evidence?

Narrator: No.

Silas Mason: Good, then please…. Speak to my lawyer.

(They all three get up and walk out as the Detective just sighs, he then nods to the officer to bring in Elysium. Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton both sit down.)

Narrator: Well… I’m not going to speak out of turn but you two –

Bronson Daniels: Are guilty.

Narrator: OH REALLY!?

Jon Kelton: Yes, Detective we are guilty of about to be committing a murder and that chalk line, well, it was drawn out of convenience… foretelling if you will.

Narrator: So what you are telling me is that you two are about to commit murder?

Bronson Daniels: That’s right, because now you have NO –

Jon Kelton: REASONABLE DOUBT.

(The Detective sits back and smiles.)

Detective: And that is when I knew that the city of Philadelphia was in for a very long night, and no, there was a motive…. Because there was never a need…. GOT REASONABLE DOUBT.

(The camera fades away.)

???: AND NOW EAW AND DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN PRESENTS: REASONABLE DOUBT!

(The camera pans into the Wells Fargo Arena In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where the crowd is going nuts. The pyro is shooting out as “Chalk Line” by Three Days Grace plays throughout the arena. The fans are on their feet as the camera pans to the Showdown announce team of Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland.)

Deadprez: WELCOME EAW TO THE FINAL SHOWDOWN BRAND MARQUEE EVENT OF THE SEASON AS THE NEXT STEP IS THE ROAD TO PAIN FOR PRIDE WITH THE GRAND RAMPAGE! I AM DEADPREZ AND I’M ACCOMPANIED BY EVE AND GAVIN KIRKLAND IN A VERY LOUD WELLS FARGO ARENA IN PHILADELPHIA THAT IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT! WHAT A NIGHT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT! SEVEN HUGE MATCHES AND FIVE OF THOSE ARE FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, ONE IS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY AND THE OTHER HAS A WORLD CHAMPION INVOLVED AND AN EMPRESS IN A GRUDGE MATCH!

Eve: BIG STAKES ARE ON THE LINE TONIGHT WITH THE ONE HOUR SCRAMBLE TO MAIN EVENT AND TALK ABOUT THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM TITLES, THE BRITISH INVASION ARE A BY-PRODUCT OF SHOWDOWN AND THEY RETURN TO FACE THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THEIR REIGN IN THE HUSTLER’S ALLIANCE!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS NOT ALL AS WE ALSO HAVE THE SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP! THE HARDCORE TITLE HERE IN PHILADELPHIA!

(The crowd roars at the sound of Hardcore.)

Gavin Kirkland: AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP AS WELL! TALK ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT WITH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN BUT LET’S KICK THIS OFF TO GINA ROMANO!

Deadprez: AND WE ARE GOING TO KICK IT OFF WITH A SHOW STEALER!

(The camera pans to Gina Romano as the graphic for the opening match is shown and the crowd cheers wildly.)

( https://i.ibb.co/xSRGTW1n/Milli-Ruler.png )

(The camera returns to ringside, where Gina Romano can be seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The OPENING contest of REASONABLE DOUBT is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!

Gina Romano: At this time please welcome our special guest referee for this match… BEA VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!!

(The fans cheer, and ‘Gloria’ by the London Symphony Orchestra hits. After some time, Bea begins making her way out to the stage with a smile on her face, waving to the fans in attendance. Bea has on her referee shirt for this match, and she begins to make her way down the ramp.)

Deadprez: The Empress of Elite is here to officiate this match and this should be… Interesting.

Gavin Kirkland: YES! I’ve been waiting for this one! I’m glad to see Bea Valentine here, and I have no doubt that she’s going to be the PERFECT referee for this match! It’s just a shame she can’t stay on Showdown forever.

Eve: Well Bea is here, so it’s about time to get the two competitors in this match out here!

(Bea enters the ring, and as she waits for the two competitors in this match, ‘2nd Sucks’ by A Day To Remember hits. Slowly but surely Ruler begins making his way out to the stage as a more negative reaction comes from the crowd, and he isn’t alone. Zariah Kennedy makes his way out as well, and along with Zariah is a crowd of druids. Bea looks disturbed by this, but Ruler begins making his way down the ramp along with the Ministry of Light, ready for the match ahead of him.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first… Accompanied by Zariah Kennedy and the Ministry of Light… Residing in the Reserved in Boston, Massachusetts… Weighing in at 220 pounds… THE RULER OF EEEEEEVVVVEEERRRRYYYYTTTTTHHHIIIINNNGGG!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Well Ruler is here, and he’s not exactly alone either. It looks like he’s showing his hand early, and with them here this is definitely not gonna be an easy match for Milli Banks.

Gavin Kirkland: Well if anyone can win this, it’s Milli! Still, Ruler has definitely been pretty scary lately. His attacks have been out of nowhere, and both Milli and Bea ended up being on the receiving end of one of his attacks.

Eve: Yep, and that’s exactly what led to this match happening. Milli didn’t want Bea to be the referee for this match but she insisted, and well to Bea’s credit, I’ll admit that this match definitely could be dangerous.

(Finally, ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne hits, causing an explosion of cheers to come from the fans in attendance. Milli Banks begins making her way out to the stage, carrying her Championship. Milli stares towards the ring, where the referee Bea Valentine, Ruler, and tons of druids can all be seen. Despite all this, Milli keeps a confident look on her face, not allowing herself to be distracted by neither the druids at ringside nor the fact that Bea Valentine will serve as the referee. As she approaches the ring, the Champion has a focused look on her face.)

Gina Romano: And his opponent… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 130 pounds… SHE IS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… MIIIILLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: The Champion is here, and she must have a lot on her mind lately knowing that the person officiating this match is exactly who she’ll be defending her Universal Women’s Championship against at Shock Value. Bea claims to have Milli’s best intentions in mind, but who knows if that’s actually true?

Gavin Kirkland: Of course it’s true! Bea would never want to do anything to jeopardize her Championship match at Shock Value. Milli just needs to focus on Ruler, because on top of him being dangerous, he also has the Ministry of Light here.

Eve: That’s true, but Milli knew what she was getting herself into. The only question is whether or not she will actually be able to get the job done, but knowing she’s the Universal Women’s Champion, I think this will be an extremely tough match for Ruler even with this advantage.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! This match is underway and both Elitists begin circling the ring! Things have gotten very heated very quickly between these two, but now here we are! These two are going one on one tonight, with our Empress of Elite as the special guest referee! Milli Banks and Ruler both look like they’re ready for this, AND THEY RUSH IN FOR-

Eve: ????

Gavin Kirkland: :whew: Thank goodness, our incredible referee just held them both back to warn them not to use any closed fists!

Eve: … They didn’t even do anything yet. Isn’t it a bit early to start giving people warnings?

Gavin Kirkland: Are you questioning our Empress of Elite’s judgment?

Eve: :francis:

Deadprez: Ruler glares at Bea while Milli just rolls her eyes, keeping her focus on the match. Both Elitists once again circle the ring, BEFORE FINALLY THEY BOTH RUSH IN! RULER SWUNG AT MILLI LOOKING FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT MILLI DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND SENDING RULER INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING WITH A HURRICANRANA! Ruler pulls himself up in the corner, AND MILLI RUSHES IN- BUT RULER POPS HER UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE STUMBLING OUT OF THE CORNER! Ruler now turning around-

Eve: RIGHT INTO A DIVING DROPKICK! Ruler is dropped and Milli returns to her feet as things are looking good for her in the early stages of this match! It looks like Bea’s warning Milli not to spend too much time on the top rope, but Milli just ignores her as she goes after Ruler, who is stumbling back to his feet.

Gavin Kirkland: Milli now rushing in- BUT RULER LIFTS MILLI OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT ONTO THE APRON! Ruler turning around, AND MILLI LOOKS FOR THE ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI- BUT RULER IS ABLE TO USE HIS ARM TO BLOCK IT BEFORE DELIVERING A FOREARM! RULER NOW GRABBING MILLI BY THE HEAD, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE CORNER OF THE RING TO SEND MILLI INTO THE RING POST!

Deadprez: Milli is able to get her boot on the ring post to stop herself, though! Milli now with an elbow to push Ruler back, AND NOW MILLI GOES FOR A-

Eve: OH NO! MILLI JUST WENT FOR A SPRINGBOARD, BUT RULER PUSHES MILLI’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER, CAUSING MILLI TO FALL FACE FIRST ONTO THE RING APRON AND OUT AT RINGSIDE!

Gavin Kirkland: The last thing Milli needed was a nasty fall like that, and after hitting the apron from that height I’m sure she’s not feeling great! Ruler definitely made his way back into this after a hot start by Milli, and with Zariah and those druids all standing at ringside, I can’t imagine that this is gonna end too well! Ruler makes his way out to ringsi-

(Before Ruler could exit the ring, Bea Valentine grabs his arm.)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Do not go out there! She has until the count of-

Deadprez: And Ruler pulls his arm away, rolling out of the ring as Bea Valentine doesn’t look too happy. Milli Banks on the other hand is slowly making her way back up, but all of the druids have started surrounding her. There’s no telling what they have in mind here as we’re still early in this match, but-

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! THE DRUIDS JUST CLEARED THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, ALLOWING RULER TO CATCH MILLI WITH A BICYCLE KICK!!!

Eve: MILLI GOES DOWN, BUT NOT FOR LONG AS RULER QUICKLY PULLS HER UP, ALLOWING HIM TO SEND MILLI CRASHING FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! MILLI FALLS TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT WAS CLEVER OF RULER TO USE THOSE DRUIDS AS A SMOKESCREEN!

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) ONE!TWO!THREE!FOUR!FIVE!SIX!SEVEN!

Deadprez: It looks like Ruler wasn’t content with the damage he had done to Milli at ringside so far, but thanks to that ridiculous count from Bea, he was forced to quickly send Milli back into the ring and follow behind! Ruler gets in the ring, and it looks like he’s growing frustrated with Bea’s antics, but for now he stays on the offensive as he grabs Milli and sends her into the turnbuckles! Milli falls into a seated position, and now Ruler begins stomping away at the Universal Women’s Champion!

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) ONETWOTHREEFOURFIVE! Back up! Back up or I will have to disqualify you-

Gavin Kirkland: HEY, WHAT’S THIS? Ruler just turned and started walking up to Bea Valentine, and he doesn’t look happy! Is Ruler going against our incredible referee here? He needs to be really careful, she can always end this match right now!

Eve: I think anyone would be annoyed seeing how Bea has been officiating this match- BUT RULER NEEDS TO KEEP COOL AND IGNORE THIS, AS MILLI WAS ABLE TO GET A BOOT UP AS SOON AS RULER TURNED AROUND! Ruler stumbles back as Milli jumps onto the middle rope, AND NOW MILLI DIVES ONTO RULER, ALLOWING HER TO DELIVER A HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS RULER TO THE MAT!

Deadprez: RULER STUMBLES BACK UP, AND MILLI DUCKS UNDER A STRIKE ATTEMPT FROM RULER BEFORE DELIVERING A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO TAKE OUT HER OPPONENT! Ruler is taken to the mat once again and begins using the ropes to pull himself up, but I don’t think that’s where he wants to be when he’s up against Milli Banks! MILLI BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, BEFORE GOING FOR DIAMOND DUST TO TAKE RULER OUT!

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO, IT DOESN’T CONNECT, THOUGH! RULER SHOVES MILLI AWAY JUST AS SHE WENT BACK THROUGH THE ROPES AND INTO THE RING, SAVING HIMSELF FROM THAT UNIQUE CUTTER VARIATION! Milli is quickly back to her feet- AND SHE IS FORCED TO QUICKLY DUCK UNDER AN ATTEMPT AT THE REVOLUTIONIZER! RULER JUST TRIED TO TAKE HER HEAD OFF, BUT MILLI WAS ABLE TO AVOID THAT BEFORE PULLING RULER INTO AN O’CONNOR ROLL!

Eve: RULER ROLLS THROUGH- RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK BY MILLI, WHO SEEMINGLY HAD THAT ONE PREPARED! Milli is back to her feet and now it’s Ruler rolling out of the ring, right alongside all of the druids! Ruler taking a moment to catch his breath, but I’m not so sure just how much time he’ll have thanks to Bea!

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) ONE!TWO!THREE!FOUR!FI-

(Before Bea could continue, Milli quickly interrupts.)

Milli Banks: (off-mic) What are you doing? I told you I got it.

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) My job as referee, of course. Now if you’d excuse me, I need to continue counting!

Deadprez: Milli just shakes her head before turning her attention to Ruler, who has been helped up by Zariah and the Ministry of Light! Milli sees all of the druids crowding Ruler, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S THOUGHT OF A WAY TO DEAL WITH THAT AS SHE QUICKLY MAKES HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE, BEFORE DIVING TO THE OUTSIDE ONTO EVERYONE WITH A TORNILLO!!!! EVERYONE GOES DOWN, AND THERE’S THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION WITH THAT AERIAL OFFENSE ONCE AGAIN COMING INTO PLAY AGAINST SOMEONE RULER, WHO SEEMS TO BE IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW AS MILLI IS ON FIRE!

Gavin Kirkland: Of course he’s in trouble, just look who he’s dealing with! Milli Banks has been an AMAZING Universal Women’s Champion, and I am so grateful to be able to see her every week! Anyways, Milli is back to her feet, and after what she just did, I think Ruler has to be out of this one! Milli has the end of this match in her sights, and knowing how good she is, I think this match really might be coming to an-

Eve: WHAT THE HELL???

Deadprez: RULER JUST BLINDSIDED MILLI BANKS!!!! MILLI DOVE ONTO EVERYONE WITH THE TORNILLO, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE RULER WAS ABLE TO AVOID IT, CAUSING MILLI TO ONLY TAKE THE DRUIDS OUT INSTEAD! RULER WITH A HUGE ELBOW TO THE BACK OF MILLI’S HEAD, AND NOW HE SENDS HER BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY UP ONTO THE APRON! MILLI STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET, AND THERE GOES RULER WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TO TAKE OUT THE CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t like this! Those druids have been a problem, but thankfully it looks like our wonderful referee is telling Ruler off and warning him about those druids!

Eve: Ruler is clearly over it with Bea right now, but I’ll admit that those druids must be frustrating to deal with. They definitely have been a problem, but they haven’t directly interfered yet, either. All they’ve really done is give Ruler a few openings, so Milli is gonna need to be careful with that as this match continues. She’s been on her A-game tonight, but she’s definitely up against an unpredictable opponent here. Ruler now making his way to the top rope, and it looks like he has something big in mind here as he may be thinking to go high risk himself once more!

Deadprez: MILLI DOESN’T LET THAT HAPPEN SO EASILY THOUGH, AS SHE PUSHES HERSELF UP AND RUSHES TOWARDS RULER, PUSHING HIS LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM! Ruler now is seated on the top turnbuckle, and Milli climbs up to the middle rope before delivering a few shots to the back of Ruler! Milli now climbing up top, and it looks like she has something big in mind here as she slowly begins to pull Ruler up into a standing position as well!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! MILLI BANKS IS GOING FOR THE SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE!

Eve: SHE ATTEMPTED IT, BUT RULER DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN! HE HOLDS ONTO HER, AND INSTEAD JUMPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE FOR AN AVALANCHE URANAGE!!!!! HUGE URANAGE FROM THE TOP ROPE BY RULER, WHO HAD TO PUT EVERYTHING INTO THAT SEEING HOW THIS MATCH HAS PROGRESSED SO FAR!

Deadprez: I THINK THAT URANAGE MAY HAVE TAKEN NEARLY AS MUCH OUT OF RULER AS IT DID MILLI, AS MILLI WAS FORTUNATELY GIVEN JUST ENOUGH TIME TO ROLL BARELY OUT OF RULER’S REACH! This has definitely been a hard fought match, and it just goes to show how talented these two Elitists are! Bea Valentine sees that both of the Elitists are down on the mat, and I think she’s thinking about what she should do right now!

Gavin Kirkland: Ruler pulls himself towards the ropes to slowly pull himself back up, and I’ll admit, that was a really big move! I’m sure our Champion still has enough left in her to keep fighting though!! Ruler sees that Milli is slowly beginning to stir though, and I think he has an idea in mind here as he begins waiting for her to show signs of life!

Eve: Milli Banks slowly begins to sit up, AND NOW RULER RUSHES IN, LOOKING FOR A RUNNING “CATCH THE RAINBOW”!!!!

Deadprez: MILLI GETS OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME THOUGH, CAUSING RULER’S KNEES TO HIT THE MAT FOLLOWING THAT METEORA ATTEMPT! Ruler is able to roll through and push himself up, but that initial landing caused him to hesitate a bit! Ruler is able to get back to his feet though-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT I THINK THAT BRIEF HESITATION CAUSED HIM TO TAKE TOO LONG, AS MILLI BANKS JUST CAUGHT RULER WITH NO FAKE BILLS HEDE!!!!

Eve: IT CONNECTS, AND RULER GOES DOWN!!!! MILLI BANKS NOW WITH THE COVER, AND THIS TIME I BELIEVE THE MATCH MIGHT JUST BE OVER!!!!!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Deadprez: AND RULER IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! This one isn’t over just yet, but Milli Banks keeps her head in the game as she pushes herself up, waiting for Ruler to stir! I think both Elitists tonight have slowly gotten annoyed with Bea’s antics tonight, but Milli has been able to remain focused despite having to deal with both that AND those druids along with Zariah at ringside! I can’t imagine this has been an easy match.

Gavin Kirkland: Well, Milli is just that good, so it shouldn’t be a surprise! Ruler is finally beginning to push himself up, AND NOW MILLI LOOKS TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY WITH BANKRUPT!!

Eve: BUT RULER IS ABLE TO CATCH MILLI ON HIS SHOULDER, PREVENTING BANKRUPT FROM CONNECTING! RULER NOW RUNNING TOWARDS THE CORNER OF THE RING, POTENTIALLY LOOKING FOR A LAWN DART!

Deadprez: MILLI IS BARELY ABLE TO SLIP DOWN BEHIND RULER’S BACK THOUGH, PUSHING RULER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! MILLI NOW RUSHING IN, AND SHE BEGINS PUMMELING RULER WITH FOREARMS! Milli Banks throwing forearm after forearm at Ruler right now- until once AGAIN Bea Valentine gets in between the two!

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Get out of the corner!

Milli Banks: (off-mic) :wtf: You didn’t even count.

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) 🙏 That’s okay, just get out of the corner. Wouldn’t want you pulling a muscle.

Gavin Kirkland: What a talented referee. If Bea wasn’t already such a great wrestler, I think she could’ve had a career in this!

Eve: Alright, Gavin. Milli doesn’t look happy as she leaves the corner, AND SHE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE DELIVERING A DROPKICK TO RULER, WHO IS STILL IN THE CORNER! Ruler finally begins to stumble out, AND MILLI SPINS AROUND AND KICKS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION, CAUSING RULER TO DROP DOWN TO A KNEE! MILLI BANKS NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND NOW SHE GOES FOR-

Deadprez: WAIT, THERE’S RULER PUSHING HIMSELF UP AND CONNECTING WITH A LEG SWEEP, DROPPING MILLI TO THE MAT! RULER WAS ABLE TO GET HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS AFTER CATCHING MILLI BY SURPRISE, AND NOW RULER RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SHINING WIZARD!!!! MILLI BANKS GOES DOWN, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER BY RULER!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: MILLI BANKS IS OUT AT TWO- BUT RULER IMMEDIATELY STAYS ON THE OFFENSIVE AS HE DELIVERS A KNEE DROP!

Eve: Milli grabs her head in pain, BUT RULER USES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB MILLI AND PULL HER INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! RULER MAY BE LOOKING FOR THE WILL OF NICHOLAS!

Deadprez: MILLI DOESN’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN SO EASILY THOUGH, AS SHE THROWS A FEW PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION! MILLI WITH A FEW MORE, AND FINALLY THIS CAUSES RULER TO BACK OFF! Milli now with a European uppercut to Ruler, causing him to stumble back towards the ropes!

Gavin Kirkland: Milli now running in, BUT RULER GETS A BOOT UP, FORCING MILLI BACK! RULER NOW LOOKING FOR A KNEE STRIKE, BUT MILLI GETS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE DELIVERING A FLOAT-OVER ARM DRAG! MILLI NOW WITH A KIP UP, AND SHE HITS RULER WITH A PENALTY KICK JUST AS HE GOT UP TO A KNEE! GREAT COMBINATION BY THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, AND NOW RULER FINDS HIMSELF LEANING ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AGAIN! HE WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF LAST TIME HE WAS IN THIS POSITION, BUT I’M NOT SO SURE THE SAME WILL HAPPEN THIS TIME!

Eve: MILLI BANKS GOES TO RUN THE ROPES-

Deadprez: BUT LOOK! THERE’S ZARIAH KENNEDY AND EVEN MORE DRUIDS STANDING ON THE RING APRON!!! MILLI WAS ABOUT TO RUN THE ROPES, BUT NOW SHE HAS ZARIAH AND THOSE DRUIDS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!

Gavin Kirkland: Bea Valentine is yelling at Zariah and the druids telling them to back off, meanwhile Milli just quickly tries to get her focus back on-

Eve: RV1!!! MILLI TRIED TO NOT LET ZARIAH AND THE DRUIDS DISTRACT HER, BUT THEY GAVE RULER JUST ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE HIS MOVE AND THAT WAS A BIG ONE! RULER JUST LAID MILLI OUT WITH THAT HUGE RUNNING KNEE, BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE PULLS MILLI BANKS UP!

Deadprez: THE WILL OF NICHOLAS!!!! RULER DROPS MILLI ON HER HEAD WITH THAT DDT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE MINISTRY OF LIGHT DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO! THEY’VE FINALLY GOTTEN OFF OF THE APRON, BUT ONLY BECAUSE RULER HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THE COVER! BEA DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY WITH WHAT JUST HAPPENED, BUT SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO COUNT!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTHHHRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND THE CHAMPION IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!!

Eve: Ruler slowly pushes himself up, and now it looks like Bea Valentine is telling him off over what the Ministry of Light have been doing.

Deadprez: Ruler once again brushing Bea off though, knowing that he needs to stay on the offensive against an opponent like Milli. Ruler begins climbing up to the top rope, and whatever he has in mind has to be big. Ruler is a dangerous Elitist, especially with Zariah and the Ministry of Light on his side. He’s a heavy hitter for sure, and as Milli Banks slowly gets to a knee, it looks like he’s ready to end this!

Gavin Kirkland: RULER DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR IMAGINARY COLORS ONTO A STANDING MILLI BANKS!

Eve: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!! MILLI IS ABLE TO BARELY AVOID THE DIVING LEG DROP- AND AS SOON AS RULER LANDS, MILLI HITS HIM IN THE JAW WITH A SUPERKICK! RULER SLOWLY ROLLS OUT TO RINGSIDE AS MILLI BANKS TAKES A MOMENT TO RECOVER, STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF TAKING BOTH RV1 AND THE WILL OF NICHOLAS BACK TO BACK! Ruler was able to save himself, but I think both of these Elitists needed that time to recover! Milli now looking to get Ruler-

Deadprez: But of course, Bea once again gets herself involved, getting in front of Milli before she could go out to ringside.

Milli Banks: (off-mic) What?

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) :whoa: Don’t go back out there! It’s too dangerous. You could get hurt! There’s so many druids, and-

Gavin Kirkland: HEY! Milli just pushed Bea away before going outside of the ring, what was that about!?

Eve: I don’t know Gavin, it probably has to do with Bea getting herself involved in this match every five seconds. Anyways Milli is able to quickly grab Ruler this time before the druids are able to get themselves involved, and she slams Ruler’s face onto our table! Milli now sending Ruler back into the ring before quickly following behind-

Deadprez: BUT BEFORE SHE COULD GET BACK INTO THE RING, RULER QUICKLY GETS BACK UP AND FLIES AT MILLI WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! Ruler rolls out to the apron after that, causing the count to restart, and it looks like he was able to find an opening once more! Milli stumbles back towards the apron as Ruler gets to his feet, AND NOW HE RUNS IN FOR A PENALTY KICK TOWARDS MILLI FROM THE APRON-

Gavin Kirkland: NO! MILLI CAUGHT THE LEG, AND NOW SHE PULLS RULER’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM, CAUSING HIM TO FALL FACE FIRST ONTO THE APRON! MILLI PUSHES RULER INTO THE RING BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE APRON! Ruler slowly stumbles back to his feet, AND NOW MILLI BANKS CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! What a move by the Champion, who now rolls back out to the apron, looking to follow that dropkick up with something even bigger! Milli Banks now beginning to climb up top-

Eve: BUT WAIT, ONE OF THOSE DRUIDS JUST GABBED MILLI BY THE LEG! MILLI IS FORCED TO KICK THE DRUID AWAY, FREEING HERSELF BEFORE FINALLY BEGINNING TO MAKE HER WAY UP TOP!

Deadprez: BUT RULER IS THERE, AND HE IS ABLE TO HIT MILLI WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BEFORE SHE COULD TRY TO DIVE! Bea Valentine is arguing with Zariah and yelling at the druids, but in the meantime Ruler pulls Milli off of the top rope, ALLOWING HIM TO CONNECT WITH A FALCON ARROW! Milli Banks goes down, but wait a second! Ruler turns his attention over to the referee of this match, and look at what she’s doing!

(Bea Valentine points at Zariah Kennedy before beginning to speak.)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) That’s it! You, and all of you, ARE OUT!

(The fans in attendance begin to loudly cheer as Bea points towards the stage, but Ruler can’t believe his eyes. Immediately he gets back to his feet, walking up to Bea Valentine.)

Ruler: (off-mic) What do you think you’re doing?

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Taking those awful druids out of the match. They had enough chances!

Eve: Ruler looks like he’s ready to kill Bea Valentine at this point, even knowing that Bea would probably be quick to disqualify him knowing how she has operated tonight.

Gavin Kirkland: He better not lay a hand on her!

(Before long, security guards begin rushing down the ring, beginning to grab the druids, as well as Zariah Kennedy. Ruler looks even more furious seeing the members of the Ministry of Light forcefully dragged away, as even more security guards begin to slowly fill the ringside area, all pulling the druids away from the match.)

Deadprez: The security guards are leaving with the Ministry of Light, and it looks like this one is even. Ruler doesn’t look happy whatsoever, but at this point there’s not much he can do about it. Ruler takes a moment to think to himself, before finally he just turns his attention back to Milli Banks, knowing that he can’t afford to let Bea’s actions get to him.

Gavin Kirkland: Ruler now dragging Milli Banks up into his grasp, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE BLOODRAYNE MAKER!

Eve: NO! MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF IT AND PULL RULER INTO A ROLLUP, BEFORE QUICKLY LETTING GO AND HITTING RULER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS SOON AS HE GETS TO A KNEE! Ruler was distracted after Bea ejected the entire Ministry of Light, and while that’s understandable, Milli Banks was given some much necessary time to recover because of it. Ruler now pulling himself into a seated position in the corner, but I don’t think he’s gonna be safe right there!

Deadprez: MILLI BANKS RUNS IN, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A METEORA IN THE CORNER! Huge move by the Universal Women’s Champion as she pulls Ruler out of the corner, and after that one she begins making her way up to the top rope! Milli is aiming to put this match away, and seeing how things have played out, this might just be her best chance to do so!

Gavin Kirkland: Milli is up on the top rope ready to finally put this match to an end, AND NOW SHE DIVES ONTO RULER FOR MILLI-ON-AIR!!!!

Eve: BUT RULER IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP!!! MILLI CRASHED RIGHT ONTO RULER’S KNEES, AND NOW RULER PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET KNOWING THAT MILLI IS HURT! Milli gets back to her feet in pain- AND SHE IS DROPPED WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST BY RULER!!!! Milli was rocked by that, AND RULER USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL MILLI DOWN FOR THE MONARCHY ESCAPE! RULER IS LOOKING TO LOCK IN THE CROSSFACE ON THE CHAMPION!

Deadprez: MILLI QUICKLY IS ABLE TO ROLL HERSELF TO THE SIDE THOUGH, GETTING THE PIN ON RULER!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTT-

Deadprez: RULER IS OUT, BUT MILLI USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE THE SUBMISSION AND MAINTAIN HER HOLD ON RULER’S LEG, TRANSITIONING INTO A SINGLE LEG CRAB! NOW IT’S RULER THAT MAY BE IN TROUBLE HERE-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOMEHOW, HE ISN’T DONE JUST YET! RULER IS ABLE TO USE HIS SIZE TO HIS ADVANTAGE, TURNING TO HIS BACK AND FORCING MILLI TO TURN WITH HIM! RULER NOW LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY ESCAPE THE SUBMISSION-

Eve: BUT MILLI USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL RULER INTO A JACKKNIFE COVER-

Deadprez: WHICH RULER USES TO HIS ADVANTAGE, AS HE IMMEDIATELY TURNS BACK AROUND ONTO HIS LEGS, BEFORE GETTING UP AND LIFTING MILLI BANKS ONTO HER SHOULDERS! RULER QUICKLY TURNING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND HE DROPS MILLI WITH A HUGE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! BIG MOVE BY RULER RIGHT THERE, AND HE HOLDS ONTO MILLI FOR THE COVER!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-

Gavin Kirkland: YES, OUR CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN IS ABLE TO KICK OUT, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE!

Eve: Ruler pushes himself back to his feet, and he just begins stomping away at the Champion, before grabbing her and sending her into the corner of the ring! Milli just hit those turnbuckles hard, which I can’t imagine is good after just getting powerbombed! Ruler now, RUNNING IN FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE!

Deadprez: BUT MILLI GETS OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING RULER’S LEG TO GET STUCK ON THE TOP ROPE! MILLI NOW USING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DROP RULER WITH A NECKBREAKER, POTENTIALLY EVENING THE ODDS AS BOTH ELITISTS GO DOWN! That was a much needed move for Milli!

Gavin Kirkland: Ruler and Milli are both pushing themselves back to their feet, AND MILLI HITS RULER WITH A FOREARM! A SECOND ONE NOW! A THIRD BY MILLI- BUT RULER RESPONDS WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST, CAUSING MILLI TO STUMBLE BACK! RULER NOW KICKING MILLI’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER, AND ONCE MILLI DROPS TO BOTH KNEES RULER DELIVERS A FEW MORE SHOOT KICKS, BEFORE LOOKING TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Eve: MILLI DUCKS UNDER THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK THOUGH, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! Ruler stumbles as Milli pops back to her feet, AND SENDS RULER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A DROPKICK!

Deadprez: Ruler is in the corner and Milli rushes in- AND RULER ATTEMPTED TO GET THE BOOT UP BUT MILLI CAUGHT IT! RULER IS ABLE TO USE HIS BOOT TO PUSH MILLI AWAY THOUGH, AND NOW HE LOOKS FOR A BICYCLE KICK BUT MILLI DUCKS UNDER IT! MILLI RUNS THE ROPES, AND NOW THERE’S THE TILT-A-WHIRL POP-UP HEADSCISSORS, SENDING RULER STUMBLING TOWARDS THE ROPES! These two are really going back and forth right now as Ruler leans against the ropes, AND NOW THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION GOES CHARGING IN-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT RULER GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS MILLI THROUGH THE ROPES! Milli Banks stumbles out to ringside, BUT THERE GOES RULER RUNNING THE ROPES, BEFORE FLYING AT OUR CHAMPION WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!! Oh no, Ruler just took out Ruler, and I didn’t even think he had something like that in him at this point of the match!

Eve: Ruler takes a moment before finally grabbing Milli, sending her rolling back into the ring before following behind. Ruler glares at Bea for a moment, just shaking his head at her as Milli Banks slowly begins to stand. Ruler is waiting for Milli, and it looks like he’s ready to end this one!

Deadprez: RULER GOES FOR THE REVOLUTIONIZER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT! MILLI DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING RULER FROM BEHIND IN A RIPCORD SETUP, PULLING HIM BACK BEFORE SLAPPING HIM IN THE FACE! RULER WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THAT, AND MILLI FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! RULER IS KNOCKED AROUND BY THAT, AND FINALLY MILLI FINISHES THE MONEY MOVES OFF WITH THE POISONRANA, DROPPING RULER ON HIS HEAD!!!!

Eve: INCREDIBLE COMBINATION BY MILLI BANKS, AND THAT LANDING CAUSES RULER TO INADVERTENTLY ROLL BACK ONTO HIS FEET, GIVING MILLI THE OPPORTUNITY NEEDED TO FINALLY DROP HIM WITH BANKRUPT!!!!

Deadprez: BANKRUPT CONNECTS, AND NOW MILLI HOOKS THE LEGS!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE MIGHT BE OVER AS BEA VALENTINE GOES TO COUNT IT!

Bea Valentine: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Bea Valentine: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, MIIILLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

(‘Changed It’ hits once more, and the crowd explodes with cheers as Milli Banks rolls away from Ruler. Milli pushes herself back to her feet, and while Bea Valentine raises Milli’s hand with a large smile on her face, Milli doesn’t look too thrilled after all of Bea’s interference throughout the match. Still, Bea turns and retrieves the Universal Women’s Championship from the timekeepers area.)

Deadprez: And the Universal Women’s Champion gets the job done! That was a great match and Ruler definitely proved how much of a threat he is, but I definitely think there’s something important to note which is that Bea definitely played a role in this, though not exactly helping either Elitist.

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know what you’re talking about! Bea was a fantastic referee, and Milli won because she’s just that good.

Eve: Right… I think the second half of that was true given everything Milli had to deal with, but I think we’d be better off without having to deal with Bea being a referee again.

(Once Bea returns to the ring, she walks up to Milli. While she initially holds the Championship out to Milli, she takes a moment and stares at it, knowing that her own match against Milli Banks with the Universal Women’s Championship on the line will be happening very soon. Milli notices the hesitation from Bea and takes the Championship from her, and the two Shock Value opponents stare at each other, now focused on their upcoming match.)

Gavin Kirkland: This reminds me, I really can’t wait for this match! I wish I could be there to commentate Shock Value. I can’t miss a match like this.

Deadprez: Well it’s definitely gonna be a great match, that’s for sure. Say what you will about Bea as a ref, but she’s an extremely talented wrestler who already ended one of Milli’s title reigns.

Eve: Congratulations to Milli Banks for the victory. Now onto Shock Value, where she defends the Universal Women’s Championship against the Empress of Elite, Bea Valentine!!

(With this staredown between the Universal Women’s Champion and the Empress of Elite, Reasonable Doubt begins to fade away from ringside.)

(The graphic to the next match appears)

( https://i.ibb.co/JFCWpbtv/Unique-Opportunity-TLC.png )

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is the Unique Opportunity TLC Match!!!

(A briefcase is shown being hung high above the ring. The ring is surrounded with tables, ladders, and chairs that for the duration of this match will not only be welcomed… but allowed.)

( ‘Genie In A Bottle’ by Christina Aguilera hits to boos from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first… from Los Angeles, California she is “The Paradigm of Perfection” GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRACE DE LUCASSSSSSSSS!!!!!

(Grace De Lucas steps out to the stage and makes her way to the ring posing for the fans. She grabs a ladder as she slides into the ring.)

Eve: Looks like we are wasting no time in getting the ladders involved! Grace De Lucas is one of EAW’s hottest new talents here on Showdown and she’s looking to get that Unique Opportunity here tonight and really make a name for herself!

Deadprez: Ummm I think she is… and she’s not wasting any time on it!

(Grace De Lucas is shown setting the ladder up in the ring. She quickly climbs it and reaches the top as she goes to unhook the briefcase.)

Eve: What the… Grace De Lucas has unhooked the briefcase!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE DID IT! SHE WON THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!!!

(The other competitors in the match Sorn, Jadeite, Jordan Perkins, and Auburn Ware are shown sprinting out to ringside looking confused as to what just happened.)

Referee: The match has not started yet. Please hand the briefcase back over immediately.

(Grace De Lucas screams in outrage as the referee tugs on the briefcase trying to get it away from her. Eventually Jordan Perkins steps in and helps the referee force it out of her hands. The referee then climbs the ladder and places the briefcase back on the hook.)

Eve: Well that was a good try by Grace… But she’s going to have to win the Unique Opportunity fair and square if she wants it!

Gavin Kirkland: This is real discrimination…

Deadprez: Well everyone is in the ring now so we can skip the introductions. Let’s get right to the action!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: The bell rings as Sorn, Jadeite, Grace De Lucas, Jordan Perkins, and Auburn Ware charge in at each other and begin throwing fists. They aren’t wasting any time with any technical wrestling or rest holds. They are going straight up to brawling and setting the tone for this one early on! Sorn tackles Jadeite into the ropes and they fall through the ropes continuing to brawl on the outside. Grace De Lucas eats a Double Superkick from Jordan Perkins and Auburn Ware and falls into the corner. But then Auburn grabs Jordan from behind and drops him with a German Suplex! Auburn standing tall in the ring as she charges in with a Double Knee Strike to Grace in the corner. Auburn then turns back to Jordan and picks him up and throws him into the corner. But look out Sorn just climbed back into the ring with a chair and laid out Auburn with it! Jadeite gets into the ring with a chair as well as Sorn and Jadeite slam their chairs into each other both taking each other out with direct chair shots to the head!

Deadprez: This match has literally barely begun and already everyone is down and out. Jordan Perkins is recovering first as he goes out of the ring and shoves a ladder into the ring. Jordan sets up the ladder and it looks like he is going to try to win this early! But as soon as the ladder is set up, Grace De Lucas is up and attacks Jordan preventing him from even taking a step up the ladder. Grace knocks Jordan into the corner and then goes for one of the chairs but Sorn grabs it as she reaches down! Grace kicks Sorn hard in the head and picks up the chair. But Jordan rushes out of the corner with a Running Dropkick kicking the chair right into Grace’s face! Jadeite is back up now and drops Jordan with a Running Clothesline before grabbing the chair and hitting him out of the ring with it! Jadeite hits everyone in the ring with the chair and tosses them out one by one! Jadeite is now looking to climb! The Sun Goddess is ascending!

Eve: But she is not fast enough! Jadeite gets about halfway up the ladder before Sorn is back up outside the ring and hurls a chair as hard as he can from the outside smashing into the back of Jadeite! Jadeite falls off the ladder as Sorn slowly gets back up and into the ring. Sorn grabs Jadeite and throws her into the corner and begins laying into her with Shoulder Thrusts until she is down. Sorn kicks Jadeite in the head and stomps a mudhole into her! But from behind! Grace De Lucas rolls up Sorn! But obviously there are no pinfalls in this match and Grace transitions out of the rollup and into an armbar on the mat. There are no submissions either but it looks like Grace is yanking the arm of Sorn backwards trying to dislocate the shoulder! She yanks hard and it is only a matter of time until we hear a sickening popping sound!

(*CLANG*)

Deadprez: But instead Jordan Perkins just smashed a steel chair right over the head of Grace De Lucas knocking her the hell out! But Jordan also drives the chair into the arm of Sorn taking advantage of the situation! Auburn Ware is up on the top rope and lunges into the ring! But Jordan swings for the fences with the chair and smashes it into her chest in midair! Jordan now turning towards the ladder and this could be his opportunity to climb and get that Unique Opportunity! Jordan climbs up the Ladder and reaches the top! Jordan could finish this thing and grab that prize! But wait look out from below! Sorn is back up and he is grabbing the ladder! Jordan shakes his head wildly as Sorn rushes the ladder and tips it over! Jordan goes flying off the ladder falling face first into the corner bouncing off the turnbuckle padding and collapsing to the mat! The ladder falls over and leans sideways up against the ring ropes! Jordan managed to remain in the ring it might have been worse if he had fallen out of the ring and through a table set up outside the ring or something. But Jordan might still have CTE from that fall so that is still bad of course.

Gavin Kirkland: Sorn now turning around as Jadeite is suddenly back up and grabs Sorn from behind whipping him across the ring. But the reversal! Sorn lifts Jadeite up and drops her face first across the ladder that has fallen and is now leaning against the ring ropes! But Jadeite manages to land on top of the ladder and handspring herself across it to reach the other side! Great agility there by Jadeite! Sorn turns around as Jadeite grabs him by the head and throws him out of the ring. Sorn back up as Jadeite runs across the ring and leaps to the outside with a Tope con Giro! Jadeite gets all of it and comes crashing down on Sorn on the outside! Jadeite now in control here as she throws Sorn up on top of a table outside the ring. Jadeite getting back in the ring and she might be looking for another dive to the outside and to put Sorn through the table!!!-

Eve: But it is Jordan Perkins! Jordan is up and drives a chair right into the midsection of Jadeite! Jordan drops the chair down on the mat and kicks Jadeite in the gut before dropping her headfirst with a DDT right onto that chair! God damn! And now Jordan setting the ladder up in the ring and he is climbing! Can Jordan get there in time?!?!-

Deadprez: No! Sorn rushes into the ring and yanks Jordan down off the ladder! Sorn shoves the ladder all the way out of the ring and it hits the other competitors on the outside knocking them down! But Jordan back up and he is throwing fists at Sorn knocking him into the ropes. Jordan runs at full speed across the ring with a Running Clothesline knocking Sorn over the top rope and tumbling to the outside of the ring! Sorn leaps over the top rope onto Jordan!

Eve: But Jordan moves out of the way! Sorn crashes on the outside nearly hitting some of the tables set up outside the ring. Jordan picks Sorn up and throws him across the ringside area and into the steel steps. Sorn took some damage there but managed to turn it around! The ring has been emptied now as the other competitors outside the ring are getting back up as well. Grace De Lucas is getting back up and grabs Jadite by the throat pulling her back up and throwing her up onto a table outside the ring! But Jadeite shoves Grace backwards and she goes back first into the barricade! Grace is in a bad way here and now as Jadeite grabs a chair and hits her right in the ribs! But look out from behind!

Deadprez: Sorn is back up and grabs Jadeite from behind as she is going for a ladder! Sorn shoves Jadeite face first into a ladder! But look in the ring!

Gavin Kirkland: Auburn Ware has snuck into the ring with a ladder! The Prodigy herself is setting it up and looking to steal the Unique Opportunity while everyone else is distracted on the outside! The crowd is hyped now and many of Auburn’s fans are cheering her on to make it up to the top! Auburn climbs to the top and gets a hand on the Unique Opportunity briefcase!!!!-

Eve: But Jordan Perkins is back in the ring and grabs Auburn by the leg yanking her hard down off the ladder! Auburn tries to kick at Jordan but to no avail as Jordan pulls her off the ladder and punches her hard in the gut! And now here comes Sorn! Sorn rushes the ring with a table and swings it around wildly taking out both Auburn and Jordan! Sorn is like a wrecking ball in that ring and you had best get out the way!

Deadprez: Sorn sets up the table in the corner as Auburn quickly rolls out of the ring to the outside. Sorn charges into the ropes as Jadeite is trying to get back into the ring and knocks her back down to the outside. And now Sorn is all alone but he is taking the ladder down instead of climbing it?!? But why? Sorn picks up the ladder and suddenly hurls it out of the ring!

(*CLANG*)

Eve: The ladder slams down hard right into the face of Jadeite! Jadeite is down and she might be unconscious as steel connected right to her skull! Sorn is on a savage tear right now as he turns around but Jordan Perkins is back up and meets him with some fists! Jordan runs off the ropes and lunges towards Sorn with a Flying Shoulder Tackle! But Sorn catches him in midair taking him down with an Arm Drag! Sorn yanks Jordan up by the arm and tosses him across the ring and out of it to the outside. But now Grace De Lucas is in the ring to confront Sorn! Grace is not backing down from Sorn who is probably the most experienced competitor in this match! And Grace is throwing hands right to the face of her opponent! Sorn fires back with hands of his own but Grace gets the advantage with a kick to the leg! Grace whips Sorn across the ring… Reversal! But Sorn runs into the arms of Grace spinning up and around trying to yank her down into a Spinning DDT into a chair on the ground in the ring!-

Deadprez: But Sorn deadlifts Grace up into midair! What strength from Sorn as he lunges forward slamming Grace down with an intense Powerslam in the middle of the ring right onto the chair! Grace yells out holding her back in pain as Sorn slowly gets back up to his feet. Sorn standing dominant here… but look out! From behind! Auburn Ware lunges off the top rope!!!-

Gavin Kirkland: But Sorn connects with a Big Boot to the head of Auburn! Jadeite enters the ring with a ladder rushing up on Sorn but Sorn with a Dropkick sending the ladder into the face of Auburn! Damn Sorn is straight up unstoppable. I think I am changing my pick! He’s got this match in the bag!

Eve: Well he has to actually set up a ladder and climb it and right now Sorn looks like he is just enjoying the devastation around him in the ring. He should be going for a ladder right now but instead he is picking up a steel chair! Sorn is measuring Jadeite as she slowly gets back up and turns around… SORN SMASHES THE CHAIR OVER THE HEAD OF JADEITE!!!!-

Deadprez: No! Jadeite ducks the chair and Sorn swings wildly! Sorn turns around and Jadeite with a Superkick to the head of Sorn! Sorn staggers backwards right into the arms of Auburn Ware! Auburn runs up on Sorn and drops him with a leaping DDT right down to the mat! And Sorn rolls out onto the apron as Grace De Lucas is getting back up! Grace runs across the ring and hits Sorn with a Baseball Slide kicking him out of the ring! Damn everyone is working together against Sorn right now and after what he was doing I can’t exactly blame them.

Eve: But still this match is every man or woman for themselves and it looks like Jordan Perkins is thinking of something now as Sorn falls down to the mat outside the ring right as he is getting back up. Jordan grabs Sorn and rolls him up onto a table! Looks like Jordan is planning to take Sorn out here permanently! The fans are booing Jordan heavily as he picks up Sorn on the table! The table might break just from their weight! But Jordan picks up Sorn into position for a Package Piledriver!!! He’s going for it here!!!

Deadprez: JORDAN PERKINS DRIVES SORN RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE WITH GAMBIT’S DRAW!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BAH GAWD!!! HIS NECK HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

(The other competitors in the match briefly pause as they turn towards the devastation outside the ring as they are surprised at how far Jordan has gone to eliminate Sorn from this match.)

Eve: We might need some help out here… Jordan just drove Sorn down neck first through that table and right into the floor outside the ring! He could be permanently paralyzed!

(Jordan Perkins raises up his arms in celebration clearly proud of his actions as the crowd rains down boos down on him. Some EAW medical officials including the ringside doctor are shown approaching Sorn outside the ring to check on his condition but Sorn does not seem to be moving at all.)

Deadprez: It’s so over.

Eve: Maybe for Sorn but this match will continue on! There must be a winner! Jordan Perkins grabs a ladder and gets into the ring and is looking to win this thing! Wait look out! Jordan got back out and he is shoving the medical officials out of the way! Instead of taking the ladder into the ring he is taking the ladder out to Sorn and slams the ladder down hard on him! Sorn taking damage here as the other opponents are also ganging up on him! Grace and Jadeite are now showing up and throwing chairs and tables onto Sorn burying him! Auburn Ware doesn’t look like she approves of beating a man while he’s down but she’s not going to talk any sense into this crowd!

(Officials are shown convincing the attackers to back off as Sorn is unburied but remains motionless. Sorn is being loaded onto a stretcher and it looks like he’s not going to be able to continue this match.)

Deadprez: Damn. We might not always like Sorn’s methods on Showdown but it is sad to see a young career ended like this. But that is the risk you take when you enter a TLC match which is most definitely one of the most dangerous matches we have in all of EAW.

(The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Sorn is slowly stretchered up the ramp and out of the arena.)

Gavin Kirkland: #Justice4Sorn

Eve: Wait look out! As everyone was distracted by the Sorn situation Jadeite took advantage! Jadeite with a ladder smashes it into the back of Grace and Auburn! She hurls the ladder at Jordan as well! Jadeite just cleared the field! And now Jadeite is throwing the ladder into the ring! Jadeite could have it here!

Deadprez: Jadeite sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring and begins to climb!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! MY SUN GODDESS! RISE LIKE THE MORNING SUN MY BELOVED!!! <3 <3 <3

Eve: Oh nah I want her to lose now for sure.

Deadprez: But Jadeite is climbing too slowly! Auburn Ware is back in the ring and grabs her from behind by the tights! Jadeite falls off the ladder and lands on top of Auburn’s shoulders! But Jadeite uses her leg strength to transition into a Hurricanrana and tosses Auburn across the ring! Jadeite stays on Auburn grabbing her by the legs and looking to turn her over into a Boston Crab. It is strange to be going for a submission in this type of match but it can still be useful to wear out your opponent! The Boston Crab is applied!

Gavin Kirkland: Auburn Ware grabs the ropes but that doesn’t matter in a TLC match! She’s going to have to tap out! But that won’t matter either! Jadeite is holding it in until the spine of Auburn snaps in half! Grace shoves a table into the ring but Jadeite releases the Boston Crab and kicks the table right back into Grace’s face knocking her back down to the floor. Grace has been pretty unlucky here tonight it seems like every time she tries to get in on the action someone knocks her back out of it.

Eve: Everyone is down again now and Jadeite is climbing! Jadeite climbs up to the top of the ladder and has a hand on the briefcase! JADEITE FOR THE WIN! SHE UNHOOKS-

Deadprez: No! Jordan Perkins is back in the ring and runs up the ladder punching at Jadeite! Jadeite smartly dodges it and leaps off the ladder landing on her feet. Jordan off the ladder now and turns towards Jadeite who catches him on the side of the face with a Spinning Backfist. Jordan is kicked out of the ring by Jadeite who goes back to Auburn. Jadeite slams Auburn down in the ring on top of a chair before grabbing another chair and sliding it under her head! Looks like Jadeite is going to sandwich the head of Auburn between those chairs! A Conchairto!!!!

Eve: But Auburn moves out of the way! Auburn rolls out of the ring as Jadeite grabs a table and sets it up in the corner. Jadeite then grabs Auburn who is desperately climbing up the ladder! Jadeite yanks Auburn down and throws her across the ring. Auburn gets back up and rushes in but Jadeite sidesteps her and throws her face first into the table in the corner!!! But Auburn stops herself before she goes into the corner! Auburn turns around and picks up Jadeite and drops her backwards with a Rolling Fireman’s Carry Slam right into the table!!!

Deadprez: God damn! She calls that the Malibu Rising and I think Malibu is definitely rising as the Sun Goddess is setting!

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO! MY SUN GODDESS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Eve: Auburn Ware pulls herself out of the wreckage of that table and she has definitely wrestled a very smart match here so far. She managed to avoid the worst of the injuries and now she has a chance to climb up the ladder and win it all! But wait! Auburn is climbing the ladder but Grace De Lucas is also rolling back into the ring! And following her is Jordan Perkins! Grace begins to climb the ladder and Jordan grabs her by the leg! But Grace kicks him off! Grace jumps at Jordan and knocks him down with a Knee Strike in midair! But this distraction has allowed Auburn to get to the top of the ladder! Auburn reaches up for the Unique Opportunity briefcase!!!-

Deadprez: But Grace De Lucas runs up the ladder at high speed and cuts Auburn off before she can reach for it! Grace punches at Auburn! But Auburn with a hard headbutt right into the head of Grace!! Grace staggers backwards before firing back at Auburn with a punch! Grace desperately grabs into the air trying to snatch at something but she’s not high enough on the ladder for it! Another headbutt from Auburn! And another and another!

Eve: And Grace De Lucas falls off the ladder! Everyone is down! Auburn Ware makes her way to the very top of the ladder and reaches up to grab the Unique Opportunity Briefcase! Auburn has this thing won!

Deadprez: Auburn reaches up and she grabs–

Gavin Kirkland: Nothing?

Eve: What the…

Deadprez: There’s nothing for her to grab? What? Where’s the Unique Opportunity briefcase???

(There is brief confusion before the camera angle widens showing Auburn Ware standing on top of the ladder in the middle of the ring and reaching up towards the briefcase… but it is too high for her to reach.)

Eve: That’s not right… Other people were able to touch the briefcase before. Why is it so high up?

Deadprez: Did Auburn use a shorter ladder?

Gavin Kirkland: No I don’t think that’s it. The ladder is the same size as what was used before.

Eve: Umm…

Deadprez: The damn briefcase was raised higher up in the air! What the hell is going on here?

Eve: Clearly some sort of fuckery is going on.

(Auburn Ware is shown yelling at the officials asking what is going on but none of them seem to have any idea.)

Deadprez: We will have to get to the bottom of this. But what does that mean for the match… How the hell are they going to get that thing?

(Suddenly Auburn Ware notices that Jordan Perkins is getting back up in the ring and moving to knock the ladder over. Auburn looks up at the briefcase and out at the crowd before shrugging.)

Gavin Kirkland: Jordan Perkins rushes in and knocks the ladder over!!!

Eve: But before Jordan can do so Auburn crouched down on top of the ladder-

Deadprez: She jumps as high as she can into the air reaching towards the briefcase that is high out of her reach!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Can she get it?!?!

(Auburn Ware’s hand slaps the bottom of the briefcase! Her other hand flails upwards wildly as she looks to grab onto it!!!!-)

Eve: But her hand doesn’t quite make it! Oh shit this is not good!!

Deadprez: AUBURN WARE JUST FELL FROM AT LEAST A DOZEN FEET UP IN THE AIR!!! SHE SLAMMED DOWN HARD IN THE RING RIGHT ON HER BACK!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Eve: Auburn Ware is dead! She went for all of it but it wasn’t enough! And I have no idea how anyone is going to win this thing because there is literally no way to reach the briefcase now!!!

(Jordan Perkins is shown looking confused after seeing Auburn Ware’s leap and then fall in the ring. He looks up at the briefcase unreasonably high above the ring as he realizes the predicament.)

Deadprez: And now Jadeite and Grace De Lucas are getting back into the ring. They charge in at Jordan with Running Clotheslines!

Eve: But Jordan Perkins is holding his hands up and stopping them. It looks like he is trying to calm them down!

Gavin Kirkland: Kick him in the balls! He’s scared to fight!

Deadprez: I think he is trying to explain that the briefcase has been raised.

(Jadeite and Grace De Lucas are shown looking up in the ring as they realize what is going on as well. Grace is heard screeching something incomprehensible to a referee at ringside who just puts his hands up like don’t blame me.)

Eve: And all of a sudden all three of them bail out of the ring! What the hell are they doing now?

Deadprez: Grace De Lucas, Jadeite, and Jordan Perkins are all walking backstage. I guess they realized that there’s no way they can reach the briefcase!

Gavin Kirkland: They are giving up! What little bitches!

Eve: Maybe they are going to try to find a bigger ladder backstage?

(The crowd is left in confusion as only Auburn Ware is left in the ring and she is motionless with a pool of blood forming around the back of her head from when she fell from however many feet in the air that huge drop was.)

Deadprez: I guess we will call this match a draw? Nobody gets the Unique Opportunity? Well it was a good match up until that trash ending.

Eve: We still have more great matches tonight on Reasonable Doubt! Stay tuned for the Answers World Title match in our main event we have all been wait-

Gavin Kirkland: Wait! I am receiving word from one of my bad bitches backstage that there is something going on in the parking lot!

Eve: Your what?!?

Deadprez: Tell me you did not just say that.

(The scene shifts backstage to the parking lot where an angry Grace De Lucas, Jadeite, and Jordan Perkins are shown making their way towards the production truck. They look pissed off as Jadeite knocks angrily on the door.)

Eve: Umm that is the EAW production truck where the show is run from. I am not sure why they are back there.

Deadprez: Wait a minute I think I know what they are up to…

(Jordan Perkins shoves Jadeite out of the way and kicks the door of the production truck open not even waiting for it to be opened. The trio barge in and begin yelling about the briefcase being too high in the air.)

???: Indeed the briefcase is too high in the air. You could say that the briefcase is rising. Just as I… “The Rising Talent” shall rise tonight by winning that Unique Opportunity!!

Eve: Oh nah! Can it be?

(The figure controlling the EAW production turns around and is revealed to be Sorn!!!)

Deadprez: That son of a bitch! He raised the briefcase! We all thought he was injured from that Package Piledriver earlier! But he looks just fine to me!

Gavin Kirkland: He was faking it!

Eve: But he might not be able to fake what is about to come! Jadeite, Grace De Lucas, and Jordan Perkins all rush in and grab Sorn! Jadeite takes Sorn’s head is bashed right into an EAW production monitor in the truck! FUCK! SORN IS BEING ELECTROCUTED!!!

(Jadeite grabs Sorn by the head and tosses him out of the truck onto the parking lot concrete. Sorn is shown thrashing around on the ground having a seizure from the electrocution he just suffered.)

Deadprez: And now Jadeite, Grace De Lucas, and Jordan Perkins are screaming at the production crew! God damn Grace’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard… And damn Jadeite is scary when she’s mad!

Gavin Kirkland: If you speak about my Sun Goddess like that again Deadprez I will put your head through a production monitor also.

Deadprez: !!!

Eve: They are telling the production crew to lower the briefcase! And look! They must be doing it because it is lowering!

(Back in the arena the briefcase is seen being lowered back to its previous place in a reachable spot above the ring. Reachable with a ladder that is.)

Deadprez: Now these three gotta get back here to the ring to get that briefcase!

Eve: Speaking of which… That might be a problem…

(The crowd cheers as Auburn Ware is shown slowly staggering back to her feet. The back of her head is covered with blood as she slowly rolls out of the ring. Auburn grabs a ladder and shoves it back in.)

Deadprez: Auburn Ware is setting up a ladder! And she is literally the only person at ringside! She’s setting the ladder back up and I don’t even know if she knows if it was lowered! She’s set it up in the middle of the ring!

Eve: And still nobody from backstage has made it back to ringside to get the briefcase! They need to haul ass!

Gavin Kirkland: They gotta be running at high speed through the backstage area to get here! But these entrance ramps are long as fuck!

Eve: Climb Auburn! Climb! You got this!

(Auburn Ware makes her way up the ladder. She reaches the top rung as she is clearly still dizzy from her fall! But she reaches up and gets a hand on the briefcase! But she still isn’t quite far enough! Auburn reaches up and grabs the briefcase as she pulls herself up another rung!)

Deadprez: But Auburn’s hand is covered with blood and she slips!!!!-

Eve: No! She holds on! Auburn drags herself to the top of the ladder! Now all she has to do is reach up and grab the briefcase!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN WARE REACHES FOR IT AND GRABS THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-

(Jadeite, Grace De Lucas, and Jordan Perkins emerge out of the entrance and charge down to the ring at full speed.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: She did it!!!

Deadprez: They were too late!

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… AUBURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN WARE!!!!

(“Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar hits as the crowd cheers wildly and Auburn Ware has her arm raised in victory by the referee.)

Eve: Damn. I have to feel somewhat bad for the other competitors in the match. They went all out to lower the briefcase after Sorn raised it up but it backfired on them in the end!

Deadprez: Sorn really fucked them over. But you can’t deny that Auburn really put it all on the line including her health to win this Unique Opportunity!!!

Gavin Kirkland: I wonder what the Unique Opportunity is…

Eve: We have no idea and we might have to wait to find out what it is.

Deadprez: All we know is that this opportunity is unique. That means it is an opportunity unlike any other opportunity ever. So I am definitely excited to find out what it will be!

Gavin Kirkland: Maybe she won the opportunity to go on a date with your’s truly!!!! <3 <3 <3

Eve: I can guarantee that is not it.

Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: !

(The camera cuts to a commercial telling you that you need to go outside and touch grass.)

(Reasonable Doubt returns as the next match graphic is seen flashing across the screen, eliciting a thunderous reaction from the crowd in response.)

(https://i.ibb.co/RG9KRnnf/Solomon-Roberto-Hardcore.png)

(The camera then goes to show Gina Romano standing in the middle of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she then begins to speak.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Gina Romano: And it is for the EAW HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!

(‘PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE’ by Peso Pluma ft. Cardi B begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd erupts into a negative reaction for Roberto De La Rosa who is seen making his way out from the backstage area with a determined expression on his face. He spreads his arms out and takes a deep breath before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first, the challenger… from Hidalgo, Mexico… weighing in at 225 pounds… ‘EL PADRINO’… ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa is walking into this match with one goal, one objective in mind, and that is to make sure that he walks out of this tonight as a two-time Hardcore Champion. It is by no means going to be an easy task considering the competitor that he’s up against, but right now judging by the expression on his face he is looking to see this one through.

Eve: Just like Silas Mason is looking to see through a successful partnership with Roberto. Remember that he got this title match in the first place as a gift of gratitude from him, and while he doesn’t seem to be questioning it too much right now, who knows what that might entail in the future.

Gavin Kirkland: Does that even matter, Eve??? He shouldn’t even be thinking about that right now! He has a Championship match to look forward to and that’s all that he needs to care about, if he wins he can just leave that geezer in the dust, an easy plan of action.

(‘The World Is Gonna End Tonight’ by The Hope County Choir begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd continues to boo negatively. The camera goes over to show the Champion as Solomon Stane is seen making his way out to the stage. He has his title in hand as he proudly raises it into the air, before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)

Gina Romano: And his opponent… from The City of Sin… weighing in at 266 pounds… he is the EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! ‘YOUR SAVIOR’… SOLOMON STANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: And here comes the Champion as Solomon Stane looks as determined as ever tonight to handle business. With his second title defense of the Hardcore Champion, first on a Marquee Event, he looks to make a demanding statement on enemy territory and I could not think of a better way to do that then at the expense of a former Hardcore Champion in Roberto.

Eve: Solomon has a packed couple of weeks. After this he returns to Voltage to focus on Shock Value where, in a hypothetical scenario, Xander Payne accepts his challenge for the event. If I were him, I would very much so like to start this sprint off with a massive win under my belt, and that very well seems like what he is going to do.

Gavin Kirkland: Boo! This guy stinks! Where’s his smoking wife! COME ON SOLOMON! BRING OUT TRIXIE YOU PUSSY. God, see? This is why he’s going to lose the Hardcore Championship tonight, no sense of awareness whatsoever. He is doing a disservice to the people who want to see his wife.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Deadprez: The bell has rung, and here we go! This match is officially underway! Sunday Night Voltage’s Solomon Stane defends his Hardcore Championship against a man who is just dying to hold that Championship a second time in the form of Roberto De La Rosa, and look at both of these men as the bell rings, they look ready to go!

Eve: AND IMMEDIATELY, ROBERTO SPRINTS OUT OF THE CORNER AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST OF SOLOMON! Solomon falls against the corner, and Roberto doesn’t waste any time approaching him and grabbing him by the head, beginning to drive straight punches against his face without remorse! Solomon is trying his best to block the attack while he can, but it’s clear that he’s been taken off guard by this right now as the former Champion continues to unload!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto has a hold of the wrist as he sends Solomon toward the opposite corner with an Irish whip! Roberto then turns around and gets a running start, AND HE RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO LIFT HIS BOOT AND CONNECT RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE OF ROBERTO! He staggers back, but that only gives him more of an incentive to push forward as he makes his way over to Solomon, ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO GO UNDER AND LIFT HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE APRON!

Deadprez: Roberto lands on the apron and immediately takes a swing at him, ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO DUCK UNDER AS HE CONNECTS WITH A HARD SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN! Roberto barely manages to hang on as he holds onto the ropes for dear life, but Solomon is keeping his foot on the gas as he runs toward the opposite side of the ring and back, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT TO SEND HIM FLYING OFF OF THE APRON AND TUMBLING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA IN FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE!

Eve: Roberto is lying out right now, but he’s quickly trying to push himself back up to his feet. He knows that this is not the start that he anticipated, and he wants to get out of there as quickly as possible before Solomon can get his hands on him. But the Hardcore Champion is refusing to let him scamper away as he quickly grabs him by the head and brings him up to his feet, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE! Roberto’s head bounces off, but Solomon isn’t done, AS HE CONNECTS AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s head continues to slam against our table repeatedly, and remember that there is nothing that the referee can do about this! There are no rules in a match like this, meaning that as long as Solomon keeps the momentum going, he can do whatever his heart desires in that ring. Solomon finally takes a step back as Roberto staggers backward. Man, take a good look at the state that he’s in right now! It doesn’t seem like Solomon is very done with him, though, as he lifts him onto his shoulders, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO LAWN DART HIM RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST!

Deadprez: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO SLIP OFF HIS SHOULDERS! HE GRABS A HOLD AROUND THE WAIST OF SOLOMON BEFORE RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND DRIVING HIM FACEFIRST AGAINST THE RINGPOST! Solomon bounces off and immediately drops down to a knee, and Roberto is taking advantage as he quickly grabs him by the head and begins to unload with repeated strikes straight to his face! He finally has control of the situation and refuses to let go even for a second now that he does! He grabs a hold of Solomon and brings him back up, before reeling his head back, AS HE SLAMS HIS FACE AGAINST THE RINGPOST-

Eve: BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO BRING HIS LEG OUT! He connects with a hard elbow to the chest of Roberto, BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE RINGPOST INSTEAD! Roberto had the advantage, but Solomon quickly turns the tides as Roberto is clutching onto the ringpost for dear life, trying to keep himself upward, but Solomon isn’t going to let him do that for very long, AS HE REELS HIS HAND BACK FOR A STRIKE!

(CRACK!)

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! ROBERTO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SOLOMON DRIVES HIS HAND RIGHT AGAINST THE UNFORGIVING STEEL OF THE RINGPOST! Solomon is clutching his hand in pain, and Roberto is quickly taking advantage of this, as he grabs a kneeling Solomon by his hand, BEFORE SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE RINGPOST AGAIN! The Hardcore Champion is in unbearable pain right now as he drops down to the ground, but Roberto isn’t done as he quickly grabs his right hand again, pressing it against the matting, AS HE BEGINS TO STOMP ON IT REPEATEDLY!

Deadprez: The challenger has found his target, and he is going to use it! He knows that he needs something to work with here if he even wants to consider making it out of here with that title, and he’s not wasting any time! Solomon finally manages to roll away as he clutches his hand in pain, giving Roberto enough time to grab a hold of a steel chair from the timekeeper’s area and bring it over to where the Champion is! He’s waiting for him to return to his feet as he sets him up…

(CRACK!)

Eve: BEFORE DRIVING IT RIGHT AGAINST HIS HEAD AND DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND NOW, ROBERTO IS TAKING THAT CHAIR AND SLAMMING IT AGAINST SOLOMON REPEATEDLY! TURNING THE WEAPON INTO A TWISTED HEAP AS HE LAYS INTO SOLOMON AND IS DOING WHATEVER THAT HE POSSIBLY CAN RIGHT NOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh dear, what in the world is he doing now???

(Roberto quickly takes the chair and begins to trap it against the hand of a near lifeless Solomon Stane.)

Deadprez: Solomon can’t even respond to this as Roberto makes his way over and grabs another chair! No, there’s no way he’s going to be able to get this off, right?!

(CLANK!)

Eve: AS ROBERTO LIFTS THE CHAIR AND SLAMS IT AGAINST THE TRAPPED HAND OF SOLOMON STANE! SOLOMON IS CLUTCHING HIS HAND IN PAIN AS HE’S CRYING IN AGONY! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA MAY HAVE VERY WELL BROKEN HIS HAND, AND HE HAS NO SYMPATHY AS HE SCOOPS SOLOMON UP AND ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! ROBERTO CLIMBS UP ONTO THE APRON AND MAKES HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET, EYEING SOLOMON AS HE BEGINS TO RISE…

Gavin Kirkland: AND HE PUSHES HIMSELF OFF OF THE ROPES WITH THE ‘BORDER CRASHER’! THE SPRINGBOARD KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF SOLOMON-

Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO CATCH HIM IN THE AIR WITH A STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE WITH THAT INJURED HAND! SOLOMON DROPS TO THE GROUND IN AGONY AS HE CLUTCHES A HOLD OF HIS HAND, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP ROBERTO AT BAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND HERE AS HE TAKES A MOMENT TO RECOVER! ROBERTO IS ROCKED BY THAT BUT IS QUICKLY BEGINNING TO RISE TO HIS FEET AS HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND, MAKING HIS WAY OVER TO SOLOMON!

Eve: BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO WILL HIMSELF UP AS HE SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘CALL OF THE VOID’! THE DISCUS HAMMERSTRIKE CONNECTS, AND EVEN THOUGH HE’S SURELY IN UNBEARABLE PAIN RIGHT NOW, HE’S MANAGING TO WILL THROUGH IT AS HE DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT! HE’S NOT GOING FOR THE PIN, THOUGH!

Gavin Kirkland: He’s rolling himself out of that ring and giving himself a brief moment to recover. He knows that if he keeps this up much longer he’s going to leave himself open for Roberto to take advantage and that is not what he wants. Roberto hasn’t moved an inch since the signature connected and now Solomon is scheming when it comes to what he could do next!

Deadprez: Solomon is dismantling the steel steps as he heaves the top half with whatever strength he has left and shoves it into the ring. He makes his way inside as Roberto is slowly beginning to rise back up to his feet, but it seems like he’s going to be too late as Solomon lifts the steps above his head and rushes forward, LOOKING TO STRIKE ROBERTO RIGHT AGAINST HIS HEAD!

Eve: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE ABDOMEN THAT FORCES HIM TO DROP THE STEPS DOWN! The former Champion manages to stop before danger can strike him just in the nick of time and now he is beginning to go ham on him with strikes straight to the face! Solomon is doing everything that he can to fight back but it seems like he’s too weak right now to try and counter the assault that is coming toward him! Roberto manages to create some distance as he turns around and runs to the ropes, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO GO UNDER AND LIFT HIM OFF OF THE GROUND, DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO A SPINEBUSTER ON THE STEEL STEPS! ROBERTO LANDS BACK FIRST AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE STEPS AS HE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND IN A HEAP!

Deadprez: SOLOMON DRAGS ROBERTO OFF OF THE STEPS AND HOOKS THE LEG AS HE GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT ON HIM!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Eve: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! The challenger stays alive and that is not something that sits very well with Solomon right now as he makes his way up to his feet. He seems to be making his way up to his feet, and what in the world does he have in mind???

(Solomon takes the turnbuckle padding and with a deep breath, rips it straight off of its hinges. He winces in pain due to the state of his injured hand, but he is running off of pure adrenaline right now so it is barely an inconvenience to him as he turns around and begins to make his way toward Roberto.)

Gavin Kirkland: Solomon grabs a hold of him by the head- But immediately Roberto is beginning to strike! He connects with hard punches straight to the chest and body area as he refuses to let Solomon take advantage of the situation in front of him right now! Solomon is being battered right now, but he quickly begins to fight back as he connects with a hard knee straight to the abdomen that forces Roberto to double over! He then grabs a hold of him by the head as he begins to make his way over to the corner!

Deadprez: SLAMMING ROBERTO’S FACE AGAINST THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE PADDING! ROBERTO’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF, BUT SOLOMON ISN’T DONE! AS HE SLAMS HIS HEAD AGAINST IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

Eve: I SEE A CUT BEGINNING TO FORM NOW ON ROBERTO’S FOREHEAD AS BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO FLY EVERYWHERE! SOLOMON IS BEING ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS RIGHT NOW AS HE REFUSES TO LET HIMSELF GO DOWN SO EASILY TO HIS CHALLENGER TONIGHT!

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON EMPHATICALLY DRIVES ROBERTO’S HEAD AGAINST THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE BEFORE PRESSING HIM AGAINST IT! BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO GUSH DOWN THE FACE OF ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AS THE CHALLENGER CRIES IN PAIN OVER IT! SOLOMON IS A MAN POSSESSED RIGHT NOW!

Deadprez: BUT IT DOESN’T LAST FOR LONG! LOOK! SOLOMON LETS GO AS HE BEGINS TO SCREAM IN AGONY! WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

Eve: ROBERTO IS GNAWING AT HIS INJURED HAND! HE BEGINS TO BITE DOWN AS SOLOMON RIPS HIS GRIP AWAY AND BEGINS TO STAGGER BACKWARD! ROBERTO THEN TURNS AROUND AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK…

(BANG!)

Gavin Kirkland: CONNECTING WITH A SPEAR RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! ROBERTO HITS THE ‘TALON DE ÁGUILA’ AS SOLOMON CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE STEPS HARD AND IN A HEAP! A BLOODIED ROBERTO IS QUICK TO USE ALL THE ENERGY THAT HE HAS TO DRAG HIM OFF AND HOOK THE LEG AS HE GOES FOR THE PIN!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREE-

Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO POWER OUT OF IT JUST IN TIME! Roberto just tore him in half and despite that the Hardcore Champion is still in this match! He’s not out of the running just yet. Look at the face of the challenger! He can’t believe it!

(Roberto shakes his head in frustration as he immediately drops down and rolls himself out of the ring. He immediately begins to take the ringside matting and tear it apart, exposing the concrete on the outside. Solomon on the other hand is slowly beginning to recover, in a world of hurt, trying everything that he can to get himself out of the rut that he is currently in. But Roberto looks poised and ready as he makes his way back into the ring and grabs a hold of him by the head.)

Eve: Roberto tries to send Solomon out of the ring, but before he can do that it’s the Champion who manages to connect with a hard back elbow straight to the face! Roberto is sent back against the ropes and this gives Solomon the opportunity here, AS HE RUSHES TOWARD HIM AND GOES FOR A BIG BOOT TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO GRAB THE TOP ROPE AND PULL IT DOWN AS HE SENDS SOLOMON OVER AND ONTO THE APRON INSTEAD! Solomon manages to catch himself before he lands on the exposed concrete, quickly beginning to make his way up to his feet, only to be met with a strike straight to the face by Roberto! Solomon teeters as he’s barely able to hang on, only for Roberto go for another strike- BUT THIS TIME SOLOMON MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT AS HE GOES FOR A SHOULDER THRUST THROUGH THE ROPES AND STRAIGHT TO HIS ABDOMEN-

Deadprez: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AS HE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK STRAIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Solomon is hurt and Roberto is staggering back and this gives him the perfect opportunity to make something out of this! HE RUSHES HIMSELF FORWARD AS HE LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE-

(CRACK!)

Eve: CONNECTING WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE OUTSIDE ON THE EXPOSED CONCRETE! THE BACK OF SOLOMON’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF OF THE GROUND AND HE MIGHT JUST BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT RIGHT HERE!

(The camera focuses on Solomon who hasn’t moved an inch since the impact. A pool of blood is seen forming around his head as the referee is quick to rush in and check on him to see if he’s okay. Roberto slowly begins to rise back up to his feet as the crowd here tonight is loudly booing him, but he doesn’t seem to care whatsoever and has little to no sympathy for what he has done. He spreads his arms out with an arrogant grin as Solomon is still being checked on by the referee.)

Gavin Kirkland: Guys, I… I don’t think Solomon is okay.

Deadprez: He hasn’t moved whatsoever since the impact of the Sunset Flip, if this is what Roberto wanted then he certainly got it!

Gavin Kirkland: … Does this mean his wife is a widow?

Eve: Dude.

Gavin Kirkland: Sorry-

Deadprez: WAIT! ROBERTO HAS WAITED LONG ENOUGH! HE GRABS THE REFEREE AND HE SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE HEADING OVER TO SOLOMON! ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NOW HE BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH STRIKES TO THE FACE! SOLOMON IS NOT EVEN MOVING! IS THIS EVEN NECESSARY!

(Roberto grabs a lifeless Solomon by the head, and begins to start shouting at him.)

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) VAMOS, PUTA! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED! TU PREGUNTAS ESTO-

(Suddenly, Roberto gasps. He falls completely silent as he looks downward…)

(And sees that Solomon has taken his crucifix necklace and stabbed it right into his abdomen.)

Eve: SOLOMON STRETCHES OUT AND GRABS HIS THROAT BY HIS HAND! ROBERTO IS BLEEDING OUT FROM HIS STOMACH RIGHT NOW AS SOLOMON RISES BACK UP TO HIS FEET…

(CRACK!)

Gavin Kirkland: AS HE LIFTS ROBERTO OFF OF THE GROUND AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE CONCRETE WITH ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’! THE ONE-HANDED SITOUT CHOKESLAM DRIVES ROBERTO SPINEFIRST ONTO THE HARD GROUND BENEATH HIM AS HE GIVES A CRY OF AGONY IN RESPONSE! THE HARDCORE CHAMPION IS BACK IN THIS MATCH, I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW!

Deadprez: SOLOMON GRABS A HOLD OF ROBERTO AND ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING, AND HE’S NOT DONE YET EITHER! HE’S INCENSED RIGHT NOW AS HE APPROACHES HIM AND GRABS A HOLD OF HIM!

Eve: BEFORE LOCKING IN ‘ATONEMENT’! THE CAMEL CLUTCH IS LOCKED IN AND ROBERTO IS SCREAMING IN AGONY RIGHT NOW AS HE’S TRYING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN TO GET OUT! BOTH OF THEM ARE BLOODY MESSES RIGHT NOW AS IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THEM GIVES UP! AND IF SOLOMON IS ABLE TO KEEP THIS HOLD IN LONG ENOUGH IT COULD VERY WELL BE ROBERTO WHO WALKS AWAY IN DEFEAT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THERE’S NOTHING THAT ROBERTO CAN DO! HE’S CLUTCHING TO THE BOTTOM ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE BUT HE KNOWS THAT THERE ARE NO ROPE BREAKS IN THIS MATCH! THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY SAVE HIM FROM THE PREDICAMENT THAT HE’S IN RIGHT NOW! BUT HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING FAST OR ELSE HE’S GOING TO WATCH HIS OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A TWO-TIME HARDCORE CHAMPION SLIP RIGHT AWAY FROM HIM!

Deadprez: HE MIGHT NOT HAVE A LOT LEFT IN HIM! ROBERTO IS BEGINNING TO FADE! THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON HIM! TRYING TO SEE IF HE SHOULD CALL OFF THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE! AND THAT COULD VERY WELL BE THE CASE! SOLOMON IS PULLING BACK ON HIS HEAD AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE JOB IS FINISHED! IS THE JOB FINISHED RIGHT HERE TONIGHT?!

(…)

Eve: WAIT! ROBERTO JUST BROKE FREE! HE MANAGED TO LOOSEN THE GRIP OF SOLOMON’S INJURED HAND AND SHIFT HIS BODY-

Gavin Kirkland: AS HE RIPS THE CRUCIFIX OUT OF HIS ABDOMEN AND DRIVES IT AGAINST THE SIDE OF SOLOMON’S NECK!

Deadprez: IT DIDN’T GO DEEP INTO HIS NECK BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO FORCE SOLOMON AWAY AS HE CLUTCHES THE WOUND IN PAIN! AND NOW ROBERTO MANAGES TO CRAWL AWAY AND GASP FOR AIR JUST IN TIME AS HE MAKES HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! ROBERTO SEEMS TO BE REACHING FOR SOMETHING AS SOLOMON RISES BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE’S VERY HAPPY ABOUT WHAT TRANSPIRED!

Eve: SOLOMON IS HURT BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO STOP HIM FROM APPROACHING ROBERTO AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND QUICKLY TURNS HIM AROUND-

(CRACK!)

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! ROBERTO SLIPPED ON A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES! HE TAKES THEM AND SMASHES THEM ACROSS THE FACE OF AN UNSUSPECTING SOLOMON STANE! SOLOMON IS ROCKED AS HE STAGGERS BACKWARD, BUT ROBERTO IS WINDING UP AGAIN…

(CRACK!)

Deadprez: AS HE RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER STRIKE USING THE BRASS KNUCKLES WHICH DROPS SOLOMON DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION!

Eve: Solomon is slowly trying to crawl himself away as he clutches a hold of the turnbuckles, doing what he can to rise back up to his feet right now, but it’s clear that Roberto is doing everything that he possibly can right now to keep himself in this match. He makes his way over to him and grabs a hold of him by the arms, BEFORE RUNNING UP THE ROPES AND LEAPING ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA-

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?! SOLOMON IS STILL FIGHTING! HE USES HIS IMMENSE STRENGTH TO LIFT UP ROBERTO ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! ROBERTO IS FIGHTING TO TRY AND GET OUT OF THIS BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AS HE SETS HIM UP FOR SOMETHING HUGE HERE-

(Suddenly, Solomon drops Roberto down to the ground. He clutches his injured hand in pain as he falls backward against the corner. As Roberto lands on his knees, he looks up at the opportunity presented in front of him with a huge smirk on his face.)

(CRACK!)

Deadprez: ROBERTO JUST RUSHED FORWARD AND LEAPED INTO THE AIR, SPINNING HIMSELF AROUND INTO A SUNSET FLIP! SOLOMON’S HEAD BANGS OFF OF THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND THAT ONLY DUG INTO THE WOUNDS IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD FURTHER! SOLOMON IS POURING OUT BLOOD BUT ROBERTO DOESN’T CARE, HE’S DRAGGING HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING AS HE HAS HIM BY THE HEAD!

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) That title is mine, amigo.

Eve: OH MY GOD! NO! DON’T DO THIS!

Gavin Kirkland: ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! OH MY GOODNESS! SOLOMON’S HEAD JUST BOUNCES OFF OF THE UNFORGIVING STEEL AND HE HAS TO BE OUT OF IT! HE HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT HERE! THERE IS NO WAY!

Deadprez: ROBERTO DOESN’T WASTE ANYTIME! HE BEGINS TO DRAG HIM OVER AND IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG ON SOLOMON! THE REFEREE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHETHER TO CHECK ON THE CHAMPION AND COUNT THE PIN! BUT HE QUICKLY DROPS DOWN AND STARTS THE THREE COUNT! IT’S OVER! WE HAVE A NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

(The crowd gasps.)

(Roberto is in disbelief as Solomon, by the grace of God, has miraculously shot his arm up. The referee stops the count as Solomon’s bloodied, injured hand clenched into a fist. The Champion is still in the fight.)

Eve: I… I don’t even know how this is possible. Even after all of that, after being dropped on his head multiple times the way that he did, Solomon Stane should not even know where he is right now. There is no possible way that he is still fighting like this.

Gavin Kirkland: So will both of their wives be widows by the time this is over or… is that just wishful thinking on my part?

(Roberto is distraught as Solomon is slowly beginning to show signs of life. Bloodied and battered the Champion is making a strong statement showing that he is in the running. Roberto runs his hands down his face before snatching a hold of Solomon by the hair and beginning to drag him back up to his feet, slipping the brass knuckles back on his hand while he does so.)

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) You made an awful mistake getting back up, hombre.

(CRACK!)

Deadprez: ROBERTO CONNECTS WITH A SHOT RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE OF SOLOMON WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES! BUT SOLOMON IS STILL ON HIS KNEES, HE HAS NOT QUIT YET!

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) But instead you want to be the hero.

(CRACK!)

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) You should have quit while you had the chance.

(CRACK!)

Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) But now you want to-

Eve: OH! SOLOMON JUST GRABBED ROBERTO’S HAND! HE RIPS THE BRASS KNUCKLES OFF OF THEM BEFORE CRACKING HIM AGAINST THE SKULL WITH A HEADBUTT! ROBERTO CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND IN A HEAP AS SOLOMON SNATCHES HIM BY THE ARM.

Solomon Stane: (Off-Mic) …

(Solomon looks down at Roberto with a look of disdain on his face.)

Solomon Stane: (Off-Mic) *… I will never die.*

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE SPINNING AROUND…

Deadprez: AND CONNECTING WITH ‘SANITY’S SAKE’! THE SPINNING CANADIAN RACK FACEBUSTER CONNECTS BUT SOLOMON ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN! HE’S GRABBING ROBERTO AND DRAGGING HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

Eve: SOLOMON TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK…

Gavin Kirkland: AS HE SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘SO IT SHALL BE’! THE DISCUS BIG BOOT CRACKS ROBERTO RIGHT AGAINST THE FACE AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! AND SOLOMON IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HOOKS THE LEG AS HE GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! THIS IS OVER!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

Deadprez: NO! NO, WHAT THE HELL?! ROBERTO JUST KICKED OUT OF IT! ROBERTO KICKED OUT!

Eve: THE CROWD IN THE ARENA JUST HAD THEIR BREATH TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM! I DON’T THINK ANYONE ANTICIPATED ROBERTO FIGHTING OUT OF THAT! SOLOMON ESPECIALLY DIDN’T AS HE RISES BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN’T LET IT GET TO HIS HEAD! HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN’T LET THIS AFFECT HIM! HE GRABS ROBERTO AND THROWS HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! AND NOW THE HARDCORE CHAMPION HAS MADE HIS WAY OUT AND IS BEGINNING TO APPROACH OUR TABLE!

Deadprez: HE GRABS A HOLD OF A LIFELESS ROBERTO BY THE THROAT AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND! HE’S TRYING TO CHOKESLAM HIM THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!

Eve: BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO STAY ALIVE! HE PUSHES HIMSELF UPWARD AND FLIPS OVER SOLOMON TO LAND ON HIS FEET-

Gavin Kirkland: AS ROBERTO GOES UNDER THE BELT! HE CONNECTS WITH A LOW BLOW WHICH DROPS SOLOMON DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND ROBERTO IS STAGGERING BACK. TRYING TO SCHEME WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT HERE AND WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT SOLOMON STAYS DOWN!

Deadprez: ROBERTO IS HEADING OVER AND CLIMBING ONTO THE APRON, HE LOOKS AT SOLOMON WHO IS ACHING IN PAIN BUT IS STILL TRYING TO MAKE HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT HE TRIES THIS RIGHT NOW RIGHT???

Eve: YES HE IS! HE’S GOING FOR HIS ULTRA FINISHER ON THE OUTSIDE! ROBERTO PUSHES OFF AS HE ATTEMPTS A MODIFIED ‘THE WORLD IS YOURS’!

Gavin Kirkland: CUTTER TO THE OUTSIDE ON THE CONCRETE!

(…)

Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS-

(CRACK!)

Eve: THE BACK OF ROBERTO’S HEAD JUST BOUNCED OFF OF THE EDGE OF OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! OH MY GOD! ROBERTO ISN’T MOVING! ROBERTO IS OUT OF IT RIGHT NOW AND SOLOMON DOES NOT CARE!

Gavin Kirkland: HE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND!

Deadprez: CONNECTING WITH A CHOKESLAM ONTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON BEFORE PUSHING HIM INTO THE RING! ROBERTO IS AN ABSOLUTELY LIFELESS CORPSE RIGHT NOW AS SOLOMON ENTERS INTO THE RING HIMSELF!

(Solomon scoops up the body of Roberto and looks dead at him, a serious expression marked over him as he begins to speak.)

Solomon Stane: (Off-Mic) *I absolve you of your sins.*

Eve: ‘THE APOCALYPSE OF JOHN’!

Gavin Kirkland: BELLY-TO-BACK GTS CONNECTS AS ROBERTO IS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND! SOLOMON IMMEDIATELY CRUMBLES DOWN HIMSELF AS HE GOES FOR THE PINFALL ATTEMPT!

OOONNNEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘The World Is Gonna End Tonight’ begins to play through the speakers once more as a beaten and battered Solomon Stane is seen slowly beginning to pull himself away from the carnage that has unfolded in this match. Immediately, officials swarm into the ring and check on both competitors, but Solomon shoves them away as he snatches his Hardcore Championship into his hands. Amidst the sea of people who have swarmed the ring, one focal point is shown and that is the Champion raising his title high into the air.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILL!!!!! EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! SOLOMON STANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Wow… I can’t believe the war that I just witnessed. Solomon Stane walked into this match with a purpose, that by hell or high water he would be holding that Hardcore Championship in his possession and walking out of Reasonable Doubt with it and he did just that. Roberto De La Rosa gave him absolute hell, and he was on a personal mission to secure his second Hardcore Championship reign, but when it came down to it, Solomon was the one who got it over on him.

Eve: A superb title defense top to bottom for the Champion as he returns to the Voltage brand ahead of the Shock Value Marquee Event. It seems like he has a lot to pride himself on tonight despite all the pain and agony that he has gone through, but one thing doesn’t change and that is the fact that the reign of your Hardcore Champion continues strong. Congratulations to Solomon Stane on retaining his Championship!

(After sometime, Roberto is lifted onto a stretcher and taken out of the ring. But despite everything, Solomon is still standing. He gingerly climbs onto the top rope, taking his title in his hands as he once again raises it into the air. It’s the last shot seen before Reasonable Doubt begins to fade to elsewhere.)

(Backstage….)

(Bronson Daniels is seen getting ready for the One Hour Scramble match. Milli Banks is there after a long fought match where she was able to come out victorious, still in her wrestling gear. They have a sweet moment as she leans against the locker while Bronson finishes with his gear.)

Bronson Daniels: Are you okay?

Milli Banks: Sore, a little beat up, but I’m good, the real question is are you okay?

Bronson Daniels: I am focused, that is all I can be. After what has happened at Road to Redemption and King of Elite, I feel like this might be it. Anything can happen in a 60 minute Scramble match, so I don’t know. Just need to be focused on the prize.

Milli Banks: And Jon?

Bronson Daniels: Same, he is focused too, and honestly, he knows how bad I want it, how bad he wants it, and as long as one of us walks out with it, that is good enough for me.

Milli Banks: Okay, because I was going to ask that. You can’t let Donovan Duke and Harper Lee win, or allow Silas to get involved or even that masked son of a bitch to take anyone else out again. This time we have to stand proud, tall and diligent.

Bronson Daniels: We do, but you also have to worry about Bea Valentine. So far as I’m concerned, I appreciate you having our backs, but I want nothing to happen to you, okay? So, stay back here.

Milli Banks: The hell I am! Silas is going to be out there, not happening.

(Just then Jon Kelton walks in, he is already in gear too. They slap hands and hug, before he turns and hugs Milli Banks.)

Milli Banks: How are you feeling?

Jon Kelton: I am the happiest man alive right now and I am ready to become a World Champion, with this bum next to me of course.

Milli Banks: Like I was telling him, stay focused. There are a lot of factors at play here and we just need to be ready. They were able to get the best of us before because of the numbers game.

Jon Kelon: I think we have been through this shit enough to know what is up and –

(But before he could finish, The British Invasion walked in already in gear and held their Unified Tag team Championships.)

Bronson Daniels: Well, look who is here, the Tag Champions. You know, one day we are going to be facing you for those titles. That is if you get past The Hustler’s Alliance first.

Halsey Neel: I am sure you will and we plan on doing that, but we are not here to have some stare down, I was just following my partner because she had something to say.

Pandora Paisley: We got your backs, mate. If anything happens and it gets out of hand, we got your backs.

(That was shocking to hear but considering that Pandora and Kelton are in a relationship, it was not surprising.)

Milli Banks: Thank you, we respect that.

Pandora Paisley: I know Silas Mason, thanks to me mentor, Regan. The man is a snake and he will do anything to get his clients way. We get it, and while we have a match later tonight, we will be here if you need us. Also, Milli, I need to talk to you aside for a second.

(Milli knew what this was all about, Halsey whispers something in her ear and walks out of the locker room. Jon stands with Pandora.)

Pandora Paisley: I was mad at first, when you told Bronson about what I did that Road to Redemption night, but now that I look back at it, it was the best thing you did for me. We may have had our differences in the ring and the past, and I still want to beat your arse one day through those ropes, but I just want to say thank you, and if you ever need anything, call me.

(She extends her hand, Milli nods and actually brings her in for a hug.)

Milli Banks: I’m glad you follow through chile, and know that what you did was best for you and him. He’s happy, and that’s all I care about. We are sisters now. Agreed?

(Pandora nods.)

Pandora Paisley: Agreed.

Bronson Daniels: Let’s leave these two alone for a second, we can go talk, maybe get a –

Milli Banks: Shut up.

(Milli and Bronson both smirk and laugh as they leave Pandora and Jon alone.)

Jon Kelton: He is right, this is going to get dangerous, and I want you nowhere near it.

Pandora Paisley: Listen, I am contractually not allowed to be out there during your match tonight, because I am a member of Voltage. But I sure can watch from back here and make sure that nothing happens to you. Love, I got your back and promise.

Jon Kelton: No, stay in the back, please. I don’t want anything to happen to you. Hopefully after this, we can celebrate. I lost you once, I am not losing you again.

Pandora Paisley: You are not going to lose me again, that I promise. You just go out there and become a World Champion, okay?

Jon Kelton: I will…. Promise.

(The two kiss as Jon then walks out of the locker room. Pandora smiles, finally happy and able to fix things between her and Jon. She then follows him out of the locker but when the camera pans, in the shadows stands a masked individual watching the entire time.

It fades back to ringside.)

(The graphic for the next match appears.)

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

(‘Homecoming’ by Lil Uzi Vert plays to a mixed reaction from fans, mostly leaning towards negative with fans being in favor of her opposition. Brianna makes her way onto the stage area, and is oozing confidence en route to the ring, believing tonight is her moment to become Specialists Champion.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing from Cancún, Mexico, weighing in at 119 pounds… SHE IS THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN… BRIANNA HILL!!

Eve: Tonight, it’s Brianna versus Nikki Kimura! I am excited to see who’ll be leaving the arena as Specialists Champion!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh, believe me, I am excited too.

Eve: I don’t want to think about the ways in which you’re excited.

(‘Vroom’ by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price plays to a positive reaction from fans as Nikki makes her way onto the stage with the Specialists Championship wrapped around her waist, and Silas Mason is flanking her as she marches down to the ring.)

Gina Romano: And her opponent! Hailing out of West Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 120 pounds…SHE IS EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…THE ANCHOR… NIKKI KIMURA!

Deadprez: Silas Mason has made clear he didn’t want this match to happen, but it’s not his choice:

Eve: No, Nikki is a grown woman, and can make her own decisions, which Silas needs to understand.

(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: HERE WE GO! BOTH COMPETITORS SHOOT OUT THEIR CORNERS TO START THINGS OFF! BIG FIGHT FEEL IN THE AIR TONIGHT FOR NIKKI VS BRIANNA!

Gavin Kirkland: AND NIKKI DUCKS UNDERNEATH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM BRIANNA!

Deadprez: BRIANNA SPINS AROUND- AND QUICKLY EATS A FOREARM FROM NIKKI!

Eve: BUT BRIANNA FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN, AND BOTH WOMEN BEGIN TRADING! NIKKI! BRIANNA! NIKKI! BRIANNA- OOH! BRIANNA EXPLODES WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! DOUBLING OVER NIKKI!

Deadprez: AND BRIANNA LOOKS TO TAKE CONTROL WITH A STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK- BUT NIKKI IMMEDIATELY BOUNCES HER OFF THE ROPES TO ESCAPE!

Eve: BRIANNA REBOUNDS BACK WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! BUT NIKKI DOESNT GO DOWN, AND INSTEAD, STUMBLES BACK TOWARD THE ROPES! BOUNCING OFF HERSELF! BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A SHOULDER TACKLE OF HER OWN!

Deadprez: THOUGH, BRIANNA DOESNT GO DOWN EITHER, AND STUMBLES BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! BOUNCING OFF TO DELIVER A SHOULDER TACKLE IN RESPONSE-

Eve: BUT NIKKI HALTS HER MOMENTUM WITH A STIFF FOREARM SMASH! BRIANNA IS ON WOBBLY LEGS AFTER THAT, AND NIKKI RUNS OFF THE ROPES!

Gavin Kirkland: AND GETS TAKEN OFF HER FEET WITH A DROPKICK!

Deadprez: Nikki sits up, but you can tell she’s feeling the effects of that dropkick as Silas watches on with worry from the outside.

Eve: Worry? This early on?

Deadprez: If you ask me, Silas should have more faith in his client.

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know, Brianna is looking pretty good right now. …real good. :mjlit:

Eve: :kyrie:

Deadprez: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that as she lifts Nikki back to her feet for a KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! NIKKI IS HURT AFTER THAT ONE, AND BRIANNA IRISH WHIPS HER OFF THE ROPES!

Eve: AGAIN, BRIANNA WENT FOR THE CLOTHESLINE! BUT NIKKI HAD ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO DUCK UNDERNEATH IT, AND NIKKI RUNS OFF THE ROPES A SECOND TIME TO DELIVER A HURRICANRANA!

Deadprez: WITH THAT, BRIANNA IS PLACED BACK ON THE DEFENSIVE AS SHE SLITHERS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! NIKKI APPROACHES THE ROPES HERSELF, AND SLINGSHOTS OVER THE TOP FOR A CROSSBODY!!

Eve: BUT BRIANNA MOVED OUT THE WAY, WHICH NIKKI SAW COMING, AND SHE CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON! BUT LEAVES HERSELF EXPOSED AS BRIANNA GRABS HOLD OF HER ANKLE, AND THE YANKS NIKKI OFF SAID APRON!

Deadprez: NIKKI HIT FACE FIRST ON THE APRON, AND BRIANNA FOLLOWS THAT UP BY SENDING HER GUT FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! NO DOUBT KNOCKING THE WIND OUT OF HER OPPONENT!

(Nikki drops from the barricade, and onto all fours as she is currently gasping for air. Meanwhile, Brianna is already plotting, and drags the steel steps away from the ringpost slightly.)

Gavin Kirkland: Uh-oh. Brianna has cruel intentions in mind, and I don’t know whether I’m scared or turned on! :lupe:

Eve: Yeah, this could be bad for Nik- wait, what? :comeagain:

Deadprez: Voltage’s James Peters recently stepped down. I hope this cracker is next.

Gavin Kirkland: :wtf:

Eve: But turning our focus back to the match… Brianna stands Nikki up, and places her in a standing front facelock… GOING TO KICK OFF THE STEEL STEPS FOR A TORNADO DDT!

Deadprez: BUT NIKKI SHOVES HER OFF BEFORE SHE COULD COMPLETE THE MOVE! HOWEVER, BRIANNA LANDS ON HER FEET! NIKKI SCORES WITH A KICK TO THE GUT, AND GOES TO SEND BRIANNA INTO THE STEEL STEPS!

Eve: BUT BRIANNA TURNS IT AROUND, AND SENDS NIKKI TOWARD THE STEPS INSTEAD! THOUGH, NIKKI! NIKKI HOPS ONTO THE STEEL STEPS, AND MOONSAULTS OFF ONTO BRIANNA! WIPING HER OUT RINGSIDE!

Deadprez: NIKKI KIMURA IS FIRED UP, FUELING FROM THE FANS ENERGY AS SHE ROLLS BRIANNA HILL BACK INSIDE THE RING!

Eve: NIKKI ROLLS IN AS BRIANNA PULLS HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER! NIKKI CLOSES IN, AND CRACKS BRIANNA WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST!

Deadprez: Brianna pushes past Nikki, and tries retreating to another corner- BUT NIKKI CATCHES UP TO HER, AND LANDS A THUNDEROUS KNIFE EDGE CHOP IN THAT CORNER AS WELL!

Eve: BRIANNA IS STUNNED, AND NIKKI GOES TO WHIP HER INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! BUT BRIANNA REVERSES! SENDING NIKKI INSTEAD, AND NIKKI GOT WHIPPED HARD INTO THOSE TURNBUCKLES! DROPPING TO ALL FOURS UPON IMPACT!

(Silas Mason pounds the apron from the outside, and yells at Nikki to get up.)

Deadprez: Brianna returns to her feet, and slowly approaches Nikki Kimura on the canvas. Brianna stands her up, and WHIPS Nikki back first into the opposite corner! AGAIN, NIKKI HIT WITH SO MUCH FORCE AND IMPACT! COLLAPSING DOWN TO A PRONE POSITION INSTANTLY!

(Brianna rises to a knee, and smugly looks toward Silas ringside, taunting him on the outside as she is slowly dismantling his client.)

Eve: Brianna did say they could talk after she took the Specialists Championship away from Nikki…

Deadprez: But that’s easier said than done as Nikki is a more than capable Champion.

Gavin Kirkland: But right now, she’s in trouble, and Brianna knows it as she brings Kimura back to her feet. Brianna hooks Nikki up for a suplex in the center of the ring-

Deadprez: WHAT?!

Eve: NIKKI EXPLODES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A STUNDOG MILLIONAIRE! JACKING THE JAW OF BRIANNA!

Gavin Kirkland: HILL POPS TO HER FEET, BUT CAN BARELY STAND FROM THAT STUNNER! EVIDENTLY ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! MEANWHILE, NIKKI KIMURA IS SHAKING THE COBWEBS OUT OF HER HEAD AS SHE MAKES BACK TO HER FEET!

Eve: NIKKI LETS OUT A SCREAM OF INTENSITY, AND HAMMERS BRIANNA WITH REPEATED FOREARM BLOWS TO THE FACE!

Deadprez: BRIANNA IS RATTLED FROM THOSE FOREARMS, AND GETS BACKED AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP BY NIKKI! BUT BRIANNA SPINS IT AROUND, AND WHIPS NIKKI TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!

Eve: BUT THIS TIME, NIKKI HAS A COUNTER AS SHE HANDSPRINGS OFF THE ROPES FOR A BACK ELBOW!

Deadprez: BOTH WOMEN GO TO SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, BUT NIKKI MAKES IT TO HERS JUST THAT LITTLE BIT QUICKER, AND PULLS BRIANNA IN FOR A POWERBOMB!

Eve: WELL, NIKKI ATTEMPTED IT! BUT BRIANNA MANAGED TO STOP THE POWERBOMB FROM HAPPENING AS SHE DROPS TO A KNEE! NIKKI ISNT SATISFIED WITH THIS, AND BEGINS CLUBBING DOWN ONTO HER BACK REPEATEDLY!

Deadprez: NIKKI PULLS BRIANNA BACK UP INTO POSITION FOR THE POWERBOMB! BUT BRIANNA GOES TO POWER OUT OF THIS TIME, AND LIFTS NIKKI INTO A BACK TO BELLY POSITION! ALTHOUGH, NIKKI SQUIRMS HER WAY OUT OF IT! LANDING ON HER FEET!

Eve: BRIANNA TURNS AROUND- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY NIKKI! NIKKI IS DETERMINED TO HIT THIS POWERBOMB, AND PULLS BRIANNA IN FOR ANOTHER!

Deadprez: SHE GETS HER UP- BUT BRIANNA QUICKLY DROPS OFF THE SHOULDERS OF NIKKI! LANDING ON HER FEET IN FRONT OF HER, AND FIRES BACK WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP OF HER OWN!

Eve: NIKKI HOLDS AT HER CHEST AS IT STINGS WHILE BRIANNA HILL RUNS OFF THE ROPES! BUT NIKKI KICKS OFF BRIANNA WITH A BACKFLIP, AND TAGS HER WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!

Deadprez: BRIANNA FALLS DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON! WISELY CREATING SPACE AND SEPARATION BETWEEN HERSELF AND THE CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT NIKKI WONT ALLOW HER TO GET FAR, AND EXITS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE ONTO THE APRON WITH HER AS BRIANNA IS ON ALL FOURS!

Eve: NIKKI STANDS HER UP, AND SMACKS BRIANNA ACROSS THE CHEST WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! GOING TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH A- OOH! OH NO! BRIANNA FIRED BACK WITH A CHOP OF HER OWN!

Deadprez: PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE OF KIMURA, BUT SHE GRITS THROUGH TO SCORE WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF BRIANNA! BRIANNA THEN FIGHTS BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN! THESE TWO WOMEN EXCHANGING BLOWS ON THAT APRON!

Eve: CHOP TO THE CHEST FROM NIKKI, AND BRIANNA STAGGERS AWAY ON THAT APRON! REELING FROM THE CHOP! BUT BRIANNA! BRIANNA COMES BACK WITH A BICYCLE KICK ON THAT APRON!

Deadprez: SHE HIT NIKKI SQUARE IN THE FACE, AND CAUSES HER TO STAGGER BACK SLIGHTLY! THE FACT NIKKI IS EVEN ON HER FEET RIGHT NOW IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE!

Eve: BUT NIKKI CRASHES INTO BRIANNA HERSELF WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! SENDING HILL BACK FIRST INTO THE APRON BEFORE DROPS DOWN TO RINGSIDE!

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA IS WRITHING IN PAIN AS SHE FAVORS HER BACK, AND GUYS, IM HALFWAY TEMPTED TO GO CHECK ON HER! SHE COULD NEED SOME MOUTH TO MOUTH!

Eve: You don’t need mouth to mouth if you’re conscious, idiot.

Gavin Kirkland: …you sure?

Eve: Positive.

Deadprez: NIKKI LIES ON THE APRON, SURVEYING THE DAMAGE SHE’S DONE TO BRIANNA RINGSIDE, AND ROLLS BACK IN UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! PERHAPS CONSIDERING HER NEXT PLAN OF ATTACK!

Eve: NIKKI GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES FOR A DIVE SORTS AS BRIANNA HILL BEGINS STIRRING, BUT- SILAS MASON! SILAS MASON GETS IN THE WAY, PREVENTING NIKKI FROM BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES!

(Nikki went to run off the ropes, but Silas hops up on the apron to stop her from doing so, much to the chagrin of fans in the Wells Fargo Center, who are reigning down onto Silas with boos.)

Nikki Kimura: (off-mic) What are you doing???

Silas Mason: (off-mic) No, what are YOU doing?! Take the count out!

(Nikki rolls her eyes.)

Nikki Kimura: (off-mic) Silas, get down.

Silas Mason: (off-mic) But-

Nikki Kimura: (off-mic) Get down.

(Reluctantly, Silas drops off the apron, and the fans rejoice as Nikki can finally run off the ropes.)

Deadprez: SUICIDE DIVE! SUICIDE DIVE FROM NIKKI INTO BRIANNA, AND BRIANNA GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE HARD! THOUGH, REMAINS STANDING, AND GETS ROLLED BACK INSIDE THE RING BY NIKKI!

Eve: BRIANNA IS QUICKLY TO HER FEET AS NIKKI SLIDES IN THE RING, AND SHOOTS FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT NIKKI DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND DUMPS BRIANNA HIGH ONTO HER NECK AND SHOULDERS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE FOR A COVER BY NIKKI!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: TWO COUNT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT NIKKI SAYS “NAH, THAT MOTHAFUCKA STAYING IN” AS SHE KEEPS HER HANDS LOCKED FOR THAT GERMAN, EVEN AFTER BRIANNA KICKED OUT!

Eve: AND NIKKI DRAGS BRIANNA BACK TO HER FEET IN THAT REAR WAISTLOCK FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!

Deadprez: BUT BRIANNA SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE, FIGHTING OUT OF IT WITH MULTIPLE BACK ELBOWS THAT WIND UP BREAKING NIKKI’S GRIP!

Eve: NIKKI IS STUNNED, AND BARELY ABLE TO STAND AS BRIANNA GOES CHARGING TOWARD THE ROPES- BUT NIKKI GRABS THE REAR OF HER TIGHTS, AND REELS HER IN FOR A BACK SUPLEX! HOWEVER, BRIANNA BACKFLIPS ONTO HER FEET!

Deadprez: AND TURNS NIKKI AROUND FOR A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN A VERTICAL BASE AFTER THAT ONE! THE WEAR AND TEAR IS BEGINNING TO SHOW! BUT BRIANNA DOES WIND BACK FOR ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT NIKKI WISELY DUCKS DOWN, AND COVERS UP- THOUGH, I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE FALLEN INTO BRIANNA’S TRAP, AND GETS SPIKED WITH A DDT!

Eve: BRIANNA FEIGNED THAT CHOP TO NAIL A DDT, AND CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! HOOKING THE LEG ON OUR SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: KICKOUT! NIKKI GOT THE SHOULDER UP- BUT BRIANNA IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO A CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE ON KIMURA!

Eve: THE CROSSFACE IS A DANGEROUS SUBMISSION AS IT CAN ATTACK MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE BODY! WHETHER THAT BE YOUR ARM, SHOULDER, BACK, OR NECK! IT PUTS THE OPPONENT IN A WORLD OF PAIN!

Deadprez: IF SILAS MASON HAD HAIR, HE’D BE RIPPING IT OUT RIGHT NOW! SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION HIS FACE! SENSING THE DANGER HIS CLIENT IS IN!

Gavin Kirkland: SILAS DID SAY FOR NIKKI TO TAKE THE COUNTOUT! BUT NIKKI REFUSED! IS SHE GOING TO REGRET THAT CHOICE AS SHE RAISES HER HAND! CONTEMPLATING A TAPOUT!

Eve: BUT NIKKI DECIDES AGAINST IT LAST MINUTE, AND WOULD MUCH PREFER TO GRIT THROUGH THE PAIN ON THIS HOLD IF IT MEANT KEEPING HER SPECIALISTS TITLE!

Deadprez: FEELING SHE WAS GETTING NOWHERE, A FRUSTRATED BRIANNA RELEASES THE HOLD, AND NIKKI CLUTCHES AT HER SHOULDER IN PAIN! THAT IS BEFORE BRIANNA MOUNTS HER, AND UNLOADS WITH MULTIPLE RIGHT HANDS AS NIKKI DOES HER BEST TO COVER UP!

Eve: BUT LETS BE HONEST, THOSE PUNCHES FROM BRIANNA ARE SLIPPING PAST THE GUARD OF NIKKI! AND HILLS ROUGHLY PULLS HER OPPONENT UP BY THE HAIR BEFORE SLAMMING NIKKI DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX! COVER IS MADE! HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI KICKS OUT! INCHING THAT SHOULDER OFF THE MAT

Deadprez: AND BRIANNA POUNDS THE MAT IN ANGER BEFORE PULLING KIMURA BACK TO HER FEET! NOT GOING TO GIVE HER ANY QUARTER- BUT NIKKI EXPLODES WITH A FOREARM!

Eve: BRIANNA REELS BACK A BIT, AND NIKKI TAGS HER WITH YET ANOTHER FOREARM! NIKKI BACKS BRIANNA UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BBL BRIANNA REVERSES BY WRINGING THE ARM, AND PULLS NIKKI IN FOR A FIREMANS CARRY!

Deadprez: BUT WHATS BRIANNA GOT PLANNED AS SHE STARTS CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH NIKKI STILL ON HER SHOULDERS!

Eve: BUT NIKKI! NIKKI IS FIGHTING BACK WITH MULTIPLE ELBOWS TO THE JAW, AND FINDS HERSELF BALANCED ON THE TOP ROPE AS BRIANNA HILL IS DOUBLED OVER WHILE ON THE MIDDLE ROPE!

Deadprez: THE GEARS ARE TURNING IN NIKKI’S HEAD AS SHE HOOKS BRIANNA UP FOR… AN AVALANCHE POISON RANA!! :damn:

Eve: BOTH WOMEN HIT HARD, ESPECIALLY BRIANNA! BUT NIKKI CANT CAPITALIZE! SHE IS TOO SPENT, AND SILAS MASON IS READY TO BLOW A GASKET ON THE OUTSIDE! DESPERATE FOR NIKKI TO CAPITALIZE!

Deadprez: SILAS NEEDS TO TAKE HIS ASS A LIL CHILL PILL!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BRIANNA IS RUNNING OFF INSTINCT, AND INSTINCT ALONE AS SHE ROLLS FURTHER AWAY FROM NIKKI FOLLOWING THAT POISON RANA, AND BEGINS PULLING HERSELF UP IN OPPOSITE CORNER!

Eve: MEANWHILE, NIKKI IS PULLING HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER OPPOSITE TO BRIANNA, AND BOTH WOMEN ARE STARING DAGGERS INTO EACH OTHER! THE INTENSITY IN THEIR EYES! BOTH DRIVEN OVER THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!

Deadprez: BRIANNA SHOOTS OUT OF HER CORNER! AND NIKKI SHOOTS OUT OF HERS!

Eve: NIKKI FLOORS BRIANNA WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! BUT BRIANNA IS PERSISTENT, AND SCRAMBLES BACK TO HER FEET! GETTING CAUGHT WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW BY NIKKI!

Deadprez: NIKKI HURRIES TO LIFT BRIANNA BACK UP, AND BOUNCES HER OFF THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP! HIP TOSS BY NIKKI! SENDING BRIANNA DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION, AND NIKKI CARTWHEELS NEXT TO BRIANNA FOR A DROPKICK!

Eve: BRIANNA HOLDS HER MOUTH AND NOSE IN PAIN AS SHE MAKES IT TO HER FEET, AND STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER! NIKKI CHARGES IN- BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW FROM HILL!

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA SHOOTS FROM OUT THE CORNER, BUT NIKKI SCOOPS HER UP IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB!

Deadprez: BRIANNA FLAILS HER ARMS, BEGINNING TO PANIC- BUT TURNS IT AROUND WITH A HURRICANRANA!

Eve: NIKKI GOES SLITHERING FROM OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND BRIANNA RUNS OFF THE ROPES TO WIPE THE CHAMPION OUT RINGSIDE WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!

Deadprez: NIKKI ROLLS BRIANNA BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND HOPS ON THE APRON! CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE AS NIKKI BEGINS TO STIR! NIKKI, DONT TURN AROUND AS- BRIANNA FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A CROSSBODY! HOOKING THE LEG DEEP!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHH-

Eve: NO! NIKKI KIMURA STAYS ALIVE!

Deadprez: Brianna isn’t deterred, and drags Nikki back to her feet! Brianna places Nikki’s head between her legs, and hooks both arms! GOING FOR THE TIGER DRIVER! SHE CALLS THIS MOVE THE GRUDGE!

Eve: BUT NIKKI TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI! BUT BRIANNA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT THIS TIME, AND NIKKI TRIES SLITHERING THROUGH THE LEGS OF BRIANNA IN ATTEMPT TO SLIP BEHIND HER! BUT BRIANNA REACHES DOWN, WRAPPING HER ARMS AROUND NIKKI’S WAIST BEFORE SHE CAN!

Deadprez: AND BRIANNA MUSCLES HER BACK UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! RIPCORDING NIKKI AROUND FOR A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! HER KNEE CRACKED NIKKI SQUARE IN THE JAW!

Gavin Kirkland: AND NIKKI FALLS TO BOTH KNEES BEFORE SHE IS PULLED INTO POSITION FOR ANOTHER TIGER DRIVER! GOING FOR THE GRUDGE A SECOND TIME!

Eve: BUT NIKKI COUNTERS, AND SPIKES BRIANNA ON HER HEAD WITH A ROLLING CANADIAN DESTROYER!

Deadprez: BRIANNA POPS TO HER FEET, AND STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER! PERHAPS RUNNING OFF INSTINCT, OR PURE ADRENALINE! ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN, SHE HAS LITTLE IDEA WHERE SHE IS CURRENTLY!

Eve: AND NIKKI LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AS SHE LIFTS HILL TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE HERSELF SHORTLY AFTER!

Deadprez: NIKKI CONTINUES BALANCING HERSELF ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND TRIES PULLING BRIANNA UP THERE TOO FOR THE AVALANCHE SPANISH FLY SHE CALLS THE CLASS ACT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BRIANNA CROTCHES NIKKI ON THAT TOP ROPE, AND LEAPS OFF THE MIDDLE FOR A ROPE-HUNG LARIAT ONTO NIKKI!

Eve: KIMURA LANDED HIGH ON HER HEAD AND NECK INSIDE THE RING! GETTING TURNED INSIDE OUT THAT CLOTHESLINE, AND BRIANNA SCRAMBLES TO GRAB NIKKI! STANDING HER UP, AND DIRECTING HER TOWARDS THE CENTER TO FINALLY HIT IT… THE GRUDGE!

Deadprez: TIGER DRIVER! SITOUT DOUBLE UNDERHOOK POWERBOMB BY BRIANNA! CENTER OF THE RING AS SHE HOLDS IT FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: NIKKI KICKS OUT!

(Quickly after the kickout, the referee catches Silas halfway inside the ring as he was going to slide in, believing Nikki was done there. Silas immediately slides all the way back out, and denies to the referee that he was going to involve himself, but gets reprimanded regardless.)

Deadprez: Silas is thanking his lucky stars right now that Nikki was able to kickout!

Gavin Kirkland: I’m starting to get a little worried about Nikki’s reign here. But if she needs a shoulder to cry on… 😏

Eve: Then I’m sure you’ll be the last guy she calls.

Gavin Kirkland: Hey!

Deadprez: Nikki crawls away from a seated Brianna, and starts to pull herself up with assistance from the ropes. But I think the exhaustion from Nikki shows as she rests her head on the middle rope… though, look into the eyes of Brianna! Her wheels are beginning to turn!

Eve: BRIANNA RUSHES BACK TO HER FEET, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR THE TIGER FEINT KICK ON NIKKI! HOTLINE!!

Deadprez: NOBODY HOME AS NIKKI KIMURA DUCKED UNDERNEATH! BRIANNA STRUGGLES TO FIND HER FOOTING AT FIRST, BUT TURNS AROUND- SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK BY NIKKI KIMURA! SIGNATURE MOVE!

Eve: BRIANNA TIMBERS OVER, AND NIKKI FALLS INTO THE COVER! HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-

Eve: SHOULDER UP!!

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA GOT THE SHOULDER UP, BUT NIKKI GRABS HER WRIST, AND GRABS THE OTHER! PULLING HER UP TO BOTH KNEES FOR THE DEVASTATING KAMIGOYE!

Deadprez: BUT BRIANNA CAUGHT THE KNEE! BRIANNA CAUGHT THE KNEE, AND CLINGS ONTO IT WITH BOTH ARMS!

Eve: BRIANNA SLOWLY RISES BACK TO HER FEET, AND TRIPS NIKKI DOWN TO THE CANVAS! HOOKING BOTH LEGS, AND SLINGSHOT CATAPULTING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Deadprez: BRIANNA MOVES TO A KNEE, AND STALKS NIKKI AS SHE SLOWLY TURNS FROM OUT THE CORNER AFTER THAT HEAD ON COLLISION… BREAKTHROUGH!

Eve: BRIANNA CAUGHT HER WITH THE BREAKTHROUGH! THAT RUNNING ENZIGURI! AND HILL SCURRIES INTO THE COVER, AND HOOKS THE LEG DEEP! BELIEVING SHE HAS IT!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: STILL, NIKKI POWERS OUT FROM THE COVER!

Eve: BUT BARELY ANY WASTED MOVEMENT, BRIANNA DRAGS NIKKI UP BY THE HAIR! LIFTING HER TO A KNEE BEFORE HILL BACKS INTO THE CORNER!

Deadprez: HILL HAS NIKKI LINED UP AS SHE RUNS FROM OUT THE CORNER! CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS FOR HITS DIFFERENT! SHINING WIZARD BY BRIANNA HILL!!

Eve: WHOA!

Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI EXPLODES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A SPANISH FLY! USING BRIANNA’S OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HER!

Eve: LIGHT VERSION OF THE CLASS ACT, AND NIKKI KNOWS THAT WONT BE ENOUGH, SO PULLS BRIANNA UP TO A KNEE! KEEPING HOLD OF BOTH WRISTS FOR THE… KAMIGOYE!!

Deadprez: SHE HIT IT! SILAS GESTURES FOR NIKKI TO COVER HER, AND MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME DURING THIS MATCH IVE SEEN NIKKI ACTUALLY FOLLOW ORDERS!

Eve: NIKKI DROPS INTO THE COVER ON BRIANNA, HOOKING THE LEG! BRIANNA IS OUT!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!

Eve: NO WAY!

Deadprez: HILL KICKED OUT! HILL KICKED OUT!

Eve: NIKKI CHECKS WITH THE REFEREE TO VERIFY THAT WAS TWO, AND IT WAS! NOTHING SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT, EXCEPT FOLLOW IT UP ON BRIANNA!

Deadprez: NIKKI QUICKLY STANDS BRIANNA HILL BACK UP, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES! BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR HER HOOLIGAN SPECIAL FINISHER!

Eve: TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS! BUT BEFORE SHE COULD TRANSITION INTO AN ARMBAR-

Deadprez: BRIANNA TURNED THINGS AROUND WITH A TOMBSTONE LUNGBLOWER! NIKKI KIMURA IS GASPING FOR AIR ON THE CANVAS! MEANWHILE, BRIANNA IS VISIBLY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THIS BATTLE AS SHE CANT EVEN BRING HERSELF TO CAPITALIZE!

Eve: BUT BRIANNA DOES MANAGE TO RISE BACK TO ALL FOURS, AND NIKKI FOLLOWS SHORTLY AFTER! BOTH WOMEN ARE REELING, BUT GRITTING THROUGH THE PAIN CURRENTLY!

Gavin Kirkland: BOTH BRIANNA AND NIKKI ARE TWO FIERCE ATHLETES, AND SHOWING IT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW THROUGH THEIR REFUSAL TO QUIT!

Deadprez: Wow, I’m surprised at you making an actual insightful comment.

Gavin Kirkland: Why?

Deadprez: You know why.

Eve: USUALLY, WHOEVER MAKES IT TO THEIR FEET FIRST WILL HAVE A MAJOR ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER! BUT BOTH WOMEN GET TO THEIR FEET AT THE SAME TIMES, AND DRAG THEMSELVES TOWARD EACH OTHER!

Deadprez: NIKKI TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM! BUT BRIANNA RESPONDS BACK WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST!

Eve: FOREARM BY NIKKI! KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY BRIANNA! NIKKI REELS BACK A BIT, BUT PICKS BACK WHERE SHE LEFT OFF WITH ANOTHER FOREARM!

Deadprez: AND BRIANNA ESCALATES THING WITH A SLAP! TALK ABOUT A CHOP! THAT ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!

Gavin Kirkland: NOW, IMAGINE THE NOISE IF NIKKI SLAPPED BRIANNA’S-

Eve: DON’T finish that sentence!

Deadprez: NIKKI DOES SLAP BRIANNA BACK, AND BOTH WOMEN ARE TRADING THEM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! SLAP BY BRI! SLAP BY NIKKI! BRI! NIKKI! BRI! NIKKI! BRI! NIKKI! NIKKI! NIKKI! NIKKI IS ALTERNATING BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT SLAPS! FORCING BRIANNA HILL TO COVER UP!

Eve: NIKKI LETS OUT A SCREAM, AND GOES FOR A HUGE CLOTHESLINE! BUT BRIANNA HILL BIG BOOTS HER IN THE ARM! NIKKI SPINS AROUND, AND FAVORS THAT ARM BRIEFLY!

Deadprez: THAT IS BEFORE BRIANNA PULLS HER INTO POSITION FOR THE GRUDGE AGAIN! TIGER DRIVER TIME- BUT NIKKI USES HER POWER TO COUNTER IT WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX AS HER ARMS ARE STILL HOOKED FOR THAT TIGER DRIVER!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHRRRRRR-

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA KICKS OUT, BUT STILL HAS BOTH ARMS HOOKED, AND RETURNS TO HER FEET! DRAGGING NIKKI ALONG WITH HER, AND HAVING KIMURA IN THE CLUTCHES FOR THE GRUDGE TO CONNECT A SECOND TIME!

Eve: BUT NIKKI COUNTERS THE TIGER DRIVER WITH A HURRICANRANA- OR AT LEAST ATTEMPTED TO! BUT SHE FINDS HERSELF HUNG UPSIDE DOWN AS BRIANNA HILL MAINTAINS HER GROUND!

Deadprez: BRIANNA POWERS NIKKI UP IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB, AND LAUNCHES HER INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! BUT NIKKI IS RUNNING OFF PURE FIGHTING SPIRIT AS SHE CHARGES FROM OUT THE CORNER IMMEDIATELY WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS INTO THE… FUJIWARA ARMBAR!

Eve: HOOLIGAN SPECIAL APPLIED! NIKKI IS WRENCHING BACK ON THAT ARM, AND IS GOING TO DISLOCATE IT PERHAPS IF BRIANNA DOESN’T TAP!

Deadprez: LUCKILY, BRIANNA IS CLOSE TO THE ROPES, AND BEGINS SQUIRMING HER WAY OVER THERE! TRYING TO GET THAT LEG DRAPED ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! INCHES AWAY!

Eve: AND SHE… DOES IT! BRIANNA BROKE THE HOLD, AND THE REFEREE PRIES NIKKI OFF THE HOLD!

(The referee pries Nikki off the fujiwara armbar, but Silas Mason is ringside by Brianna Hill, and slips something to her, which she secretly places on her fingers.)

Deadprez: Hey, what did Silas just hand to Brianna?

Gavin Kirkland: This is brilliant! He’s going to get Brianna disqualified once the referee sees the weapon!

Eve: Uh, I don’t think that’s what’s happening! SILAS JUST HOPPED UP ON THE APRON, AND IS DISTRACTING THE REFEREE!

Deadprez: NIKKI SEEMS ANNOYED BY THIS, BUT STAYS FOCUSED, AND PULLS BRIANNA BACK UP TO HER FEE-

(**CRACK**)

Eve: BRASS KNUCKLES! BRIANNA HAD BRASS KNUCKLES, AND JUST CRACKED NIKKI IN THE MOUTH WITH THEM!

(Brianna immediately takes them off, and disposes the evidence, tossing them out ringside as Silas Mason drops off the apron.)

Deadprez: NO, WAIT! NOT LIKE THIS!

Eve: BRIANNA DROPS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!

Gavin Kirkland: AFTER THE WAY HER KNEES BUCKLED FROM THAT PUNCH, NIKKI IS OUT! THERE IS NO WAY!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…AND THE NEEEEEWWWWWWW EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… BRIANNA HILL!!

(Silas smirks and nods in approval as ‘Homecoming’ by Lil Uzi Vert hits to a negative reaction from fans, and Brianna sits up with a devious grin on her face.)

Eve: Look at this clown! He just screwed over his client, and doesn’t even care!

Deadprez: Well, remember what Brianna Hill had said prior! She was open to negotiations with Silas, and I wonder if Mason perhaps hedged his bets!

Gavin Kirkland: Nikki or Brianna, how does one make a choice like that?! They’re both fine wom- great athletes!

(Silas slides in the ring with the Specialists Championship, and quickly hands it to Brianna Hill before raising her hand in victory over a downed Nikki Kimura.)

Eve: I… I can’t believe this. Silas Mason is a bottom tier human being!

Deadprez: I highly doubt he cares. What matters is that the Specialists Championship remains in Silas World? Is that what we are seeing here!?

(Silas bends over, and yells some words at Nikki while she lies there dazed and confused before leaving the ring with Brianna Hill. Shortly after, the camera fades elsewhere.)

(Reasonable Doubt returns from a commercial break with the upcoming match graphic flashing across the screen.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH FOR THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS AND IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

(‘Ole’ by The Bouncing Souls plays as Ryan Joseph Wilson marches to the ring, clad in full white and red gear representing his home country. He throws a few shadow boxing strikes while making his way onto the stage looking around at the crowd. His theme fades out as he warms up, and then ‘Ambitionz Az a Ridah” by Tupac as TLA steps out in full white gear accented with green and red representing his Mexican heritage. Two men lock eyes before exchanging a fist bump, then make their way to the ring together to claim the championship gold tonight.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGERS!… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 435 POUNDS!… ‘THE WORKHORSE’ RYAN JOSEPH WILSON AND EAW HALL OF FAMER TLA!… THEY ARE… THE HUSTLERS’ ALLIANCE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Two men looking to put their tag team abilities on display tonight and claim the gold! A duo that bridges nations to form an alliance.

Eve: The Hustlers’ Alliance is here boasting their presence and looking to secure a huge victory. Despite being a fresh team and with uncertainty surrounding how well they’ll work together, they are looking to make it count tonight!

Deadprez: Considering Wilson’s credibility in tag team competition, having been involved in numerous tag team matches in the past, and TLA’s strong trust and respect across the locker room, I’m sure they can work together effectively throughout the match but would that be enough to win those belts? We must find out!

(TLA and Ryan Joseph Wilson arrive in the ring and immediately begin preparing for the match. Lights go out, a female voice screams “REFUSE!”, then “RESIST!”, and finally “RECLAIM!” as it peppers the arena as suddenly “Refuse/Resist” by Sepultura starts to play throughout the arena. A lone spotlight shines on two women standing back to back as the fans boo, it is Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel. The music hits its chorus when both women turn, Pandora screams as Halsey Neel smiles wickedly, they both pose. Halsey is seen with the EAW Unified Tag Team Championship draped over her shoulder, hanging down behind her back, while Paisley wears the belt around her waist as they both make their way to the ring.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FROM ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT A TOTAL COMBINED WEIGHT OF 20 STONES!… ‘THE HELLCAT’ PANDORA PAISLEY AND ‘THE RIPPER’ HALSEY NEEL…. THEY ARE!…. THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!!

(Pandora and Halsey both with focus and attitude start to make their way toward the ring. They pay no attention to the fans, Halsey doesn’t give them a second thought, Pandora on the other hand taunts them before turning as they reach the ring, both women get on the apron, Halsey stands as Pandora sits, until sliding in. Halsey then steps in and gets on her knees as Pandora stands over her, hands on Halsey’s shoulders, suddenly the fireworks go off, and a war torn British Flag drops from the rafters as the crowd boos harder.

Gavin Kirkland: After a shocking victory at Road to Redemption and a successful first defense at King of Elite, will the Hustlers’ Alliance be the team to stop them tonight?

Eve: That’s up to British Invasion to decide, but one thing is certain that they aren’t backing down from any challengers. They are ready to put in the work at full force. Will this be their second successful defense, or will there be an upset waiting down the line? Find out soon!

(Pandora goes face to face with TLA, locking eyes with him, while Halsey Neel looks down at Wilson, pressing the tag belt against his face. Wilson doesn’t flinch, and neither does TLA, who simply glances at the title before looking back at Pandora. Both champions smirk at their challengers before stepping back to their corners. Pandora brandishes her Cheshire Smile as Halsey stays stoic before both women take off their titles and proudly raise them high together in the air. They smile at the hard camera before handing the championships to the referee and getting themselves ready for the match.)

(DING DING DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: It’s Showdown vs. Voltage for the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships, but bring it home, Hustlers’ Alliance! We’re here to see some gold under our possession tonight!

Eve: Ryan Joseph Wilson and Pandora Paisley will be kicking things off. One team is starting fresh, backed by veteran energy to support their ability to work together, while on the other hand, Pandora and Halsey, who shockingly ended Jaded Hearts’ undefeated record as tag team champions and crowned themselves as the new champions, use that victory as a statement to their opponents that the tables have turned and times have changed. Their opponents must be fully aware of the level of danger they are facing.

Deadprez: Wilson moves out of the corner to come face to face with Pandora Paisley at the center of the ring as they both prepare to lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Paisley slowly raises her hands high, and Wilson follows suit, joining in before they engage in the collar and elbow tie-up. Wilson quickly pushes Paisley back towards the ropes, but at the last moment, Paisley switches things up, pressing Wilson into the ropes instead.

Gavin Kirkland: Referee begins to count. One, two, three and four as Paisley slowly raises her arms off Wilson’s chest, locking eyes with him. Wilson flinches as he foresees a punch from Paisley…. but instead, she simply gives him a gentle tap and flashes a smug smirk. Some trickery from Paisley here, using a confusing strategy. Perhaps scheming something but Wilson isn’t letting her attempts to provoke him disrupt his focus in this match.

Eve: Wilson now circles around Paisley once again, with one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions keeping a close eye on him. They move toward the center of the ring as they prepare to engage in the same maneuver. Wilson switches things up this time, going behind and taking Paisley down with a waistlock takedown, quickly gaining control. He aims for a side headlock, but Paisley slips through underneath his armpit and moves behind him. Paisley uses both hands to push Wilson toward the ropes.

Gavin Kirkland: Both competitors get to their feet and Wilson is forced to bounce off the ropes and turns back toward her. Paisley attempts to flip him over with an arm drag, but Wilson halts her strategy and counters with his own arm drag, sending one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions crashing to the mat! The Hellcat has been caught off guard!

Deadprez: The Hellcat rises and rushes forward, but Wilson catches her with another beautiful arm drag, sending her crashing hard to the mat! Paisley gets back up again, only for Wilson to take her down with yet another arm drag. Wilson now follows up by applying an armbar, bending her arm back after the successful takedown. He is seen hyperextending the same arm he just used to drop Paisley, focusing on it to gain an advantage for his team!

Eve: The Workhorse is putting in the work, keeping his pace steady while the Hellcat moves wildly around the ring. He needs to prove he’s the toughest beast to deal with in this match. Paisley struggles to get to her feet as Wilson continues to apply pressure with the armbar, causing her arm to seize in pain.

Gavin Kirkland: Paisley now uses her free hand to drive a hard fist into Wilson’s gut, then follows up with another, forcing him to release his hold! Wilson’s focus wavers from the repeated shots, allowing Paisley to capitalize as she grabs his leg and HITS A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP SENDING ONE-HALF OF HER CHALLENGERS SPRAWLING TO THE MAT!!!!!!!

Deadprez: The leg whip sends Wilson sprawling to the mat, but Paisley isn’t done yet! She holds onto the same leg, twisting it out to repeat the move! ANOTHER DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP CONNECTS WITH RYAN WILSON, LEAVING HIM CLUTCHING HIS LEG IN PAIN!!!!! Looks like Paisley is starting to target that leg, turning it into a weakness and exploiting it to her advantage!

Eve: That’s when the Hellcat comes up with a smarter plan, using her in-ring IQ. Speaking of their exceptional tag team work, we aren’t going to overlook what they can do when left to fly solo in the ring. Paisley now begins dragging Wilson over to her corner before retreating back. She then marches toward Wilson, who is seated in the corner as she’s going for!… RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK TO WILSON’S FACE BY PAISLEY!!!!! Wilson is left seeing stars down on the mat as Paisley gets to her feet, dragging him along with her to make the tag to Halsey Neel!…

(TAG!)

Gavin Kirkland: TAG! Halsey Neel is now the legal competitor! Paisley hands off her work to Neel, who has just become the legal woman for her team. Paisley tosses Wilson toward Neel, allowing her to showcase her powerhouse strength as she lifts Ryan Joseph Wilson.

Deadprez: Paisley quickly slips through the ropes and onto the apron as they both move in sync… NEEL BUCKLE BOMBS WILSON INTO THE CORNER WITH AN APRON ENZUIGIRI FROM PAISLEY THAT HITS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AT THE SAME TIME!!!! Wilson is dropped cold after that perfectly executed tag team combination! Neel wastes no time and goes for the cover!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: AND TWO!!!! A KICK OUT BY WILSON!!!!! He had to force himself out of that situation because you can’t put down the Workhorse that easily especially with the stakes this high!

Eve: Neel now takes control, locking Wilson in a chokehold before transitioning into a grounded joint manipulation hold. With one knee pressing down on Wilson’s arm, she starts to work on his fingers, bending them back in a way that’s painful to watch! Wilson is being tortured here as TLA stretches his arm out for the tag. Wilson desperately tries to crawl toward him, dragging Neel along with him, but the pain is overwhelming. Pressure on his joints slows his momentum causing him to falter as the agony continues!

Gavin Kirkland: Wilson turns back toward Neel and rolls forward, attempting to take her down with a school boy roll-up, but Neel refuses to be caught that easily as she quickly forces herself to roll through, facing Wilson once again. She then rolls backward while still holding onto the same joint she was manipulating earlier, dragging Wilson down with her.

Deadprez: Neel transitions into an even more vicious grounded joint manipulation hold and locks Wilson into a Kimura Styled Join Manipulation! Now the hold looks nastier by the second, becoming increasingly difficult for Wilson to endure. Neel hyperextends his fingers, attempting to snap them back, looking to weaken him so he won’t have the strength to overcome her team by the end!

Eve: Wilson is seen getting back to his knees, but Neel is still bending his fingers back, refusing to let go! His legs are already in pain from the Dragon Screw Leg Whips he took earlier, and now it’s Neel’s turn to make his body feel even more fragile by manipulating his joints! Seems like they planned this all along exploiting Wilson’s physical condition!

Gavin Kirkland: Neel continues to put pressure on his fingers, but Wilson is slowly but surely pushing himself up, mustering whatever strength he has left! Neel looks frustrated as Wilson powers through, hoisting her onto his shoulders while she desperately clings to the Kimura Lock styled joint manipulation, still trying to take him down!

Deadprez: Neel suddenly drops to both knees and throws a vicious big boot straight to the jaw of Ryan Joseph Wilson! Wilson collapses against the ropes but quickly rebounds, looking to nail her with a Lariat but Neel counters! She moves behind him, grabbing hold before turning him around and attempting to strike with a Ripcord Back Elbow Smash, setting up for her trademark sequence that would soon lead to a German Suplex!

Eve: KICK TO THE ARM!!!! Wilson reacts just in time, countering with a sharp kick to her arm which is the same one meant to hit him with the elbow! Wilson tries to turn and run off, but Neel isn’t letting go but she clutches his wrist, targeting the same joint she had been manipulating earlier! A jolt of pain shoots through Wilson as she yanks his arm back, forcing him to drop to both knees! Wilson is overwhelmed by the agony!

Gavin Kirkland: Neel looks around, a smirk spreading across her face! She knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s seizing every advantage to set Wilson up once again for the Ripcord Elbow Smash!…. BUT WILSON WITH A VICTORY ROLL!!!!!! Wilson takes her down to the mat, rolling her up into a Victory Roll pin, hooking both legs! Her shoulders are down! The referee slides in for the count!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!! Wilson is seen clutching his arm, struggling to get back to his feet, while Neel stands in front of him facing head on as she swings her leg across his head LANDING A KNEELING ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT STUNS WILSON HARD!!!!!! Neel then turns toward the ropes. She runs towards them, rebounding off them and charging straight back at Wilson!… BUT WILSON WITH THE DROPKICK TAKES NEEL DOWN!!!!!!

Deadprez: Halsey Neel just took a kick to the jaw after attempting to stun Wilson with one of her own but it didn’t work! Wilson’s arm is clearly hurting, but TLA is already fired up to get the tag! There’s no time to waste! He wants to get this match rolling! Wilson pushes through the pain, crawling forward and he makes the tag to TLA!….

(TAG!)

Deadprez: AND FINALLY!!!! TLA IS A LEGAL MAN!!!! TLA rushes into the ring, and the first thing he does is charge toward a rising Halsey Neel, taking her down with a headscissors takedown that sends her rolling to the outside!

Eve: Paisley tries to interfere, attempting a Hurricanrana… BUT TLA COUNTERS WITH A HANDSTAND!!!!! He flips out of it and quickly turns the tables to nail Paisley with a Hurricanrana of his own sending her outside to regroup with her partner!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA isn’t wasting any time! He glances at both women regrouping on the outside, then sprints toward the ropes! He leaps up onto the top rope and soars high!… WOAH!!! SPRINGBOARD SPLASH TO OUTSIDE TAKING OUT THE BRITISH INVASION!!!! TLA IS AWESOME!!!!! TLA takes a tumble himself, but it was worth it! He just wiped the British duo out of the picture!

Deadprez: Now, refocusing on the legal competitor such as Halsey Neel, TLA gets to his feet and picks her up, tossing her back into the ring. Halsey is still stunned from taking the splash alongside Paisley, struggling to get back to her feet. TLA lifts her up and slams her hard to the mat with a Body Slam! He then turns to face the crowd… STANDING MOONSAULT!!!!!! TLA lands it perfectly and immediately goes for the cover!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Deadprez: HALSEY NEEL KICKS OUT!!!!!! A showcase of TLA’s moveset against the British Invasion isn’t enough to put them away just yet, there are still long miles ahead in this match! TLA now slowly rises to his feet, watching as Halsey Neel clutches her gut with her eyes shut tight as he delivers a hard stomp to her back pressing her down even further!

Eve: Now TLA grabs for her legs and looks around! The crowd is buzzing! They haven’t seen this move in a while! TLA IS GOING FOR THE AR15 SUBMISSION MANEUVER!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Wait a second! Neel suddenly shifts her leg forward, causing TLA to lose his grip and stumble ahead! Momentary misstep allows Neel to seize the opportunity! She dives for his leg and takes him down!… LEG-CAPTURED STF GOT TLA!!!!!! Neel immediately transitions into the hold, trapping TLA just as he was soaking in the energy of the crowd! Now fully locked in, Neel stretches back as far as possible, applying maximum pressure with the STF, putting one-half of her challengers in deep trouble!

Deadprez: TLA’s mouth is tightly covered, making it difficult for him to breathe! Wilson, who has just regained consciousness, gets up in the corner and starts smacking the turnbuckle to rally the crowd, urging them to give TLA their energy!

Eve: Neel is visibly frustrated by the crowd’s support, and their energy only fuels her irritation as she tightens the submission hold on TLA venting her frustration through the STF! TLA is struggling to move with the hold locked in, while Neel takes pleasure in every second of his suffering, applying pressure in an attempt to choke him out!

Gavin Kirkland: You’d think this might be the end for TLA but no, he’s just getting started! He’s deadlifting Halsey Neel onto his back! Neel is desperately trying to keep the chokehold locked in, clinging to TLA as he powers through with sheer strength! What an incredible display of resilience by TLA! We are left in absolute disbelief at what they’re witnessing!

Deadprez: Neel allows it to happen for just a second, but in her mind, she knows TLA won’t be shining for long tonight. This is her moment to step up for the team! She frees one of her arms and reaches for TLA’s, pulling it back while her legs begin entangling him like a crawling spider! She’s going for the Octopus Stretch but wait, crawling like a spider and locking in the Octopus Stretch?! Be someone!

Eve: Halsey Neel does whatever Halsey Neel wants! It’s a fusion of techniques from a submission specialist, and right now, she’s up against TLA, who is certainly not enjoying this submission match! TLA’s arm is being bent back unnaturally by Halsey Neel, who has the Octopus Stretch locked in tight while he desperately reaches out for Ryan, trying to make a tag! Paisley, just now getting up on the apron in her team’s corner, watches the action closely, cheering on Halsey Neel and encouraging her to give it her all to wear TLA down!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA is being stretched to his limit by the Octopus Hold, but he clearly doesn’t want it to end this way! His face says it all! TLA is gritting his teeth! He begins inching his way toward the ropes, dragging himself forward despite Neel still clinging to him, refusing to let go of the submission hold!

Deadprez: TLA couldn’t quite reach the ropes, so instead, he decides to say screw it and, with a struggling effort, throws Neel over him! Neel crashes to the ground right in front of him! TLA clutches his arm, still feeling the effects of the submission hold, before looking back up only to see Halsey Neel charging at him at full speed!

Eve: OUCH!!!! WHAT A CHEST SLAP!!!!! TLA ducks underneath just in time, quickly turning around to meet Neel from behind with a chest slap that echoes through the arena! My god! Did Halsey Neel’s soul just fly out of her?!

Gavin Kirkland: With how soulless she looks after that chest slap connected, I’m a firm believer that she might not have much left afterward! Halsey is seeing something in that chest slap and… I think she enjoys it! She smirks back at TLA, daring him to hit her again and he does! Another chest slap!

Deadprez: This might look like a weird murder scene because the one being introduced to the pain is the one actually enjoying this situation! TLA looks confused, and as he tries to slap her again— PALM STRIKE!!!! Halsey counters with a Palm Strike to his neck, sending him stumbling back! She quickly moves behind TLA as the strike connects setting him up for a Snap German Suplex!

Eve: BOTH FEET HITS THE GROUND!!!!… AND ZIG ZAG BY TLA DROPS HALSEY NEEL SOON AFTER!!!! Seems like TLA knew what was coming, so he spared some energy and used it to land on both feet. Using his last bit of strength, he drops Halsey Neel to the ground with a Zig Zag, connecting cleanly and taking her down! Now, this is his chance to recover and make the tag to Ryan!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA is reaching out for a tag– OH! Someone just tackled Wilson off the apron, it’s Pandora Paisley! She comes rushing past a crawling TLA, who is struggling to make the tag, and sends Wilson crashing to the outside, slamming his back against the barricade!

Deadprez: Paisley now drops to the outside, grabbing Ryan and dragging him toward the barricade and down to the steel steps… AND PAISLEY WITH A PUMPHANDLE FRONT SLAM SENDING WILSON’S FACE SMASHING HARD INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!!

Eve: TLA is back to the point where he’s being outnumbered at the moment by the British Invasion. Paisley slides back into the ring, calling out for Hasley to come and help her as she picks on TLA, who is trying to get back to his feet! Neel sees the signal and is waiting to run in as Paisley sets up for the spinebuster but TLA counters with a pointed elbow, striking the top of Paisley’s head and forcing her to release him!

Gavin Kirkland: Neel rushes in from behind, trying to catch TLA off guard, but he rocks her with a quick back elbow, knocking her away! TLA looks up and sees Paisley recovering, quickly charging toward him…. SWAG SHOT ACROSS HER FACE!!!!

Deadprez: Paisley is sent tumbling through the ropes to the outside of the ring! Neel scrambles to her feet, trying to turn TLA back around but he’s already a step ahead!… CARTEL KICK TO NEEL!!!! TLA is acting like a one-man army right now as he’s fighting against the entire British Invasion!

Eve: TLA is trying to crawl toward the corner, but there’s nobody there because Wilson is still recovering, his face covered as the crowd cheers him on! They want him to make the tag because TLA needs it! Wilson hears the crowd and tries his best to crawl up the apron, reaching out for the tag despite still holding his face after being planted into the steel steps earlier!

Crowd: RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA is crawling toward Wilson and is almost there! Neel is crawling behind him, trying to stop the chase by grabbing onto TLA’s leg but it might be too late! TLA leaps toward Wilson for the tag!…

(TAG!)

Gavin Kirkland: AND HE DOES!!!! Ryan Joseph Wilson has become the legal man, and here we go! Neel has no choice but to force herself back to her feet and try to strike Wilson with a right hand but Wilson ducks underneath and quickly runs off the ropes! Neel follows him with her eyes, tracking where he’s headed… SPINNING HEEL KICK BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON TAKES HER DOWN!!!!!

Deadprez: Wilson is already on fire the moment he becomes the legal man! He quickly turns back toward Neel, who was just taken down, and begins wrapping his arms around her waist, deadlifting her like a sack of corn straight into the air… WILSON WITH THE GUTWRENCH SUPLEX DROPPING NEEL HARD ONTO THE GROUND!!!!

Eve: And he’s not done yet! He’s fired up as he spots Pandora on the outside, trying to get back to her feet, the same Pandora who took him out earlier! Wilson charges toward her… AND WILSON TAKES PAISLEY DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPACEMAN MOONSAULT PLANCHA!!!! And the front-row crowd is loving the energy Wilson is bringing to the match right now! It’s like his healing factor has kicked in after taking all that damage earlier, and now he’s out here running the match wild!

Gavin Kirkland: Neel is struggling to get back to her feet while Wilson quickly climbs all the way to the top rope, heading up high! She’s still reeling from the attack she took earlier, staggering as Wilson sets his sights from the top corner… WILSON WITH A FROG SPLASH ON A STANDING HALSEY NEEL TAKING HER DOWN IN AN INSTANT!!!!!!! Ryan drops into the cover right after!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!! But even with that kick-out happening, Wilson knows he has a golden opportunity to seize control here! Halsey Neel is barely able to stand on both feet, her focus slipping. Wilson sees this as the perfect chance to put her down for good tonight!

Deadprez: He moves toward the corner; his eyes locked on her like a predator closing in on its prey as Halsey Neel is stumbling right into danger! Wilson is marching out of the corner… A ROLL THROUGH SPEAR!!!!

Eve: AND NO, IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! The Upset Queen has a strategic plan up her sleeve once again! Wilson just leaped right into the triangle position, and Neel is slowly transitioning it into an armbar! THE TRIANGLE ARMBAR HAS TURNED THAT SPEAR ATTEMPT INTO A FATAL SUBMISSION HOLD THAT COULD VERY WELL PUT WILSON OUT!!!!

Deadprez: Momentum has completely shifted in an instant! One-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions is now looking to end this match on her terms, not the way the challengers had hoped! Halsey is still hurt from the attacks she took earlier from both TLA and Wilson, so she doesn’t seem able to apply the hold fully but she’s still torturing Wilson’s arm regardless!

Gavin Kirkland: Neel is at a desperate point where she’s determined to break Wilson, but it looks like he’s not going to let it happen this time! Wilson is on his feet stabilizing himself on the ground and trying to regain control! He’s attempting to deadlift Neel once again, slowly powering her up into the powerbomb position!

Eve: He might be looking to plant her yet again! Neel is still clinging onto that armbar, but if she doesn’t let go soon! This could end badly for her!… RYAN SPINS OUT AND PLANTS NEEL TO THE MAT WITH LA BOMBE BLEU!!!!! THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!!!! A HOOK TO THE LEG!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Eve: AND PAISLEY SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING JUST IN TIME TO LEAP TOWARD WILSON AND PUSH HIM OFF HALSEY BREAKING UP THE COUNT AT TWO!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA is now the one in control of this match! He picks on Pandora and sends her flying through the ropes to the outside of the ring after she tries to stop his team from winning the tag belts! TLA heads to the outside, making sure Pandora stays out there, allowing Wilson to secure the victory for their team!

Deadprez: Neel is in a vulnerable position as Wilson slowly pushes himself off the ground, trying to go after Halsey Neel, who he just took down moments ago! Wilson slowly picks himself up and begins sizing her up… WILSON DELIVERS A HARD CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST OF HALSEY NEEL!!!!!! Neel stumbles down toward the ropes but she seems to enjoy the pain she’s taking out here! Is she crazy?!

Eve: She turns back around to face Wilson, and this time, she starts tapping on her own chest… AND DELIVERS A HARD KNIFE EDGE CHOP BACK TO WILSON!!!!! After everything she’s been through, where is she finding this kind of strength to go toe-to-toe with Ryan!?

Halsey Neel: (Off-Mic) Come on, Ryan! If that’s all you’ve got, then you’re not even worthy of laying a finger on my championship belt!

Gavin Kirkland: Looks like Wilson took that hard chop, but instead of backing down, he’s getting fired up! The pain and the challenge from Neel are only motivating him even more! Wilson looks back at Neel with fire in his eyes, and now he starts unleashing a barrage of forearm shots, each one connecting hard to the side of her head! Forearm after forearm, Wilson is laying down those strikes as Neel takes each one, slowly stumbling backward from the relentless assault! Wilson is fired up! He runs to the ropes, looking to launch himself right at Halsey!…

Eve: WHAT A DISCUS ELBOW!!!!!!!! A spinning elbow from Halsey Neel connects right across the head of Ryan Wilson! Just as he made his way back from the ropes, Neel catches him completely off guard! She quickly turns back around and nails Wilson with another vicious elbow, this time knocking him down to both knees hard! Neel is putting full force and strength into those two elbows, and now she’s the one charging toward the ropes, looking to strike Wilson again!

Deadprez: AND A LARIAT ATTEMPT FROM WILSON BUT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! Wilson attempts to catch Neel with a lariat counter, but she ducks underneath and quickly grabs his wrist! Without wasting a second, she yanks him forward… RIPCORD LARIAT BY HALSEY NEEL!!!!!!!!!!! Neel just turned Wilson inside out!

Gavin Kirkland: But she’s not done yet! Still holding onto his wrist, she pulls him right back up to his feet… AND USES HER STRENGTH TO LIFT WILSON UP!… SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!!!! Wilson is sent crashing down! Neel struggles back to her feet, but she’s in a rage!

Eve: She’s not finished yet! She’s looking to complete her signature combination!…. THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!!!!!!!! IT CONNECTS FLUSH TO THE JAW OF RYAN WILSON!!!!!!!! Neel drops into the cover on Wilson!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Eve: TWO!!!! RYAN JOSEPH WILSON KICKS OUT!!!! TLA, having just finished dealing with Pandora, is seen getting back up on the apron. He reaches his hand out to tag in Ryan Wilson! Wilson gives him back the signal, realizing they could be setting up for something big here! Wilson moves in and goes for the tag!

(TAG!)

Eve: Now Wilson gets back up to his feet and walks toward Neel, who is already down on the mat. He begins lifting her into the electric chair position! TLA stands side by side with Wilson as he’s ready to execute the move! TLA leaps up to the second rope!… LOOKING TO HIT THE ELEVATED CARTEL KICK!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!!!! A COUNTER!!!! TLA gets caught in mid-air as Neel leans backward countering the kick aimed at her! She drops to the ground with TLA twisting the situation around in an instant instead of taking the hit! TLA was supposed to knock her off the electric chair position but Neel catches his leg mid-motion AND TURNS IT INTO A ROLLING HEEL HOOK OF HER OWN!!!!!!

Deadprez: What a magnificent counter from Halsey Neel! She transitions TLA straight into her submission maneuver! I’ve never seen anything like that before! That’s absolutely incredible to watch! Wilson turns around and realizes what just happened, trying to interfere!

Eve: But no! Paisley enters the ring and grabs one of Wilson’s arms, now turning him over his head and GOING FOR THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH ON RYAN WILSON!!!! At the same time Halsey is applying the Heel Hook on TLA as well! The Hustlers’ Alliance has been outplayed by the British Invasion, and it’s showing right now! How are they going to deal with this?

Gavin Kirkland: TLA is seen struggling with the Heel Hook applied to him right now after being caught off guard! Wilson seems like he’s trying his best to break out of the hold! Paisley knows she won’t be able to hold it for long!

Deadprez: Wilson has more energy to deal with right now, and she’s doing her best to buy that time! Nel is trying to snap TLA’s leg for good, but nothing seems to be working out well here! TLA is trying to crawl toward the ropes, but the pain is stopping him in his tracks, pressing him down!

Eve: Wilson is there, just trying to pry himself out of the Abdominal Stretch and… oh! He kicks Paisley in the gut! Wait, no way!…

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!!! CANADIAN DESTROYER BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON DRILLING PANDORA PAISLEY RIGHT ON TOP OF HALSEY NEEL WHO WAS TOO FOCUSED ON BREAKING TLA’S LEG!!!!! WILSON JUST TOOK OUT TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE WITH THAT SMART TACTIC IN THIS MATCH!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Wilson is seen pushing himself up, rolling down while taking Pandora Paisley with him to the outside after saving TLA from being brutalized by Halsey Neel! TLA is crawling back to his feet, reaching out at the corner while Halsey Neel is hurt from having Paisley land on her!

Eve: TLA is climbing to the top rope while Wilson is safeguarding the ring from Paisley’s interference! TLA is slowly getting to the top, and Neel is laid out flat!.. 420!!!!!!!!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY TLA ON HALSEY NEEL!!!!!! TLA COVERS FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!–

(…..)

Eve: HALSEY NEEL MOVES HER SHOULDER UP AT 2.9!!!!!!!!!! TLA is still hyperfocused on becoming the Tag Team Champion for his team, just like Wilson! He’s popping up right now and pumping his chest with intensity!

Gavin Kirkland: Halsey Neel is in serious pain from the 420 Dive, and TLA is climbing back up to the top again! The crowd is calling for it! They want to see this happen! TLA is beginning to stand tall on the top rope!

Deadprez: This is going to be the crowning moment for the team, they’re about to beat the British Invasion and become the new champions!…. BURNOUT!!!!!!!

Eve: OH NO!!!! HE MISSED IT!!!! Neel moves out of the way at the last second, crashing hard onto the ground! Paisley is seen pushing Wilson out of the way and quickly sliding into the ring, charging straight at TLA, who is in a vulnerable position after missing the diving attack!…. LOVE TAP KNEE ACROSS THE JAW OF TLA!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!! THIS MAY BE IT!!! Wilson tries to get back into the ring as he reaches the ropes, but Halsey Neel quickly knocks him off with a Bicycle Kick, sending him crashing down! TLA is entangled in the vicious cycle of the British Invasion!

Deadprez: Neel turns around, using all her strength and willpower to lift him onto her shoulders! Pandora Paisley is seen climbing all the way to the top, staring down at TLA, who is now positioned in the electric chair!.. BLACKPOOL TOWER!!!!!!!!! A COMBINATION OF AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP AND A DIVING METEORA JUST CONNECTED WITH TLABRINGING HIM DOWN HARD!!!!! THE BRITISH INVASION GOT IT!!!!!!! HALSEY NEEL CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COVER AND PICKS UP THE WIN FOR THE TEAM!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!–

(…..)

(…..)

Deadprez: AND NO!!!! YET TO WIN!!!!! TLA POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!!!!! A fingertip away from victory indeed, but they are just beginning to rise to the top and earn this win off this match!

Eve: One of the British Invasion’s signature moves has been planted hard, and Wilson is struggling to get back on his feet to save his teammate. Halsey Neel begins helping TLA back to his feet, while Pandora Paisley leans against the ropes, starting to remove her knee pad as she watches TLA drowning in exhaustion.

Gavin Kirkland: They could very well be setting up for Love Tap to secure Love and Anger down the line! But at the last second, Wilson interferes as he’s pulling Pandora down by her legs and dragging her to the outside!

Deadprez: AND LOOK BACK INSIDE THE RING, TLA SUDDENLY ROLLS HALSEY INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!!!!! THEY’RE ABOUT TO STEAL THE WIN OFF THIS MATCH!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!–

Deadprez: THRE– OH WAIT!

Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY TURNS IT AROUND AT THE LAST MOMENT REVERSING THE SMALL PACKAGE AND PINNING TLA DOWN INSTEAD! A QUICK WITTED COUNTER THAT TLA DOESN’T EVEN REALIZE!!!!! HALSEY IS ABOUT TO SNATCH THE WIN HE WAS AIMING FOR RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER HIM!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….

(…..)

(…..)

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!!! BRITISH INVASION ALMOST HAD IT, BUT TLA JUST KICKED OUT AT TWO SAVING HIS TEAM FROM FALLING INTO THE RANKS OF THE PRETENDERS!!!!!

Eve: Pandora is seen pushing Wilson off her and quickly getting back onto the apron as the same time Halsey is kicked away as she makes the tag! Paisley is finally back in the ring!

(TAG!)

Eve: And she goes right in wasting no time getting back to business to pick up where Halsey left off! TLA is slowly getting back to his feet, but he might not realize that Paisley is setting up for the ending that could seal this match!… PAISLEY GOES FOR THE CAT’S PAW KICK!!!!!

Deadprez: CAUGHT!!!!! The kick has been intercepted and TLA immediately takes her down! The knee is now being bent right away by TLA, who is getting back to his feet, using his energy to catch that kick and turn things around!… AR15 BY TLA!!!! LASSO FROM EL PASO SYNCS IN!!!!!

Eve: He wasn’t able to complete the move earlier in the match, but now it’s Pandora who finds herself trapped in the signature submission hold while Halsey is laid out outside!

Gavin Kirkland: Halsey is trying to get back into the ring, but Wilson is dragging her away, resisting her attempts to break free! Pandora is being tortured by the Lasso, and she’s getting pushed even further! TLA is looking to take the titles for his team!

Deadprez: Neel finally manages to tackle Wilson just enough to create an opening for her to slide back into the ring at the last second. She then drives a running boot into TLA’s jaw, sending him stumbling into the corner! TLA slumps against the turnbuckles as Wilson scrambles back to their team’s corner…

(TAG!)

Deadprez: Wilson makes the tag, switching places with TLA who grips the ropes and sets his sights on Halsey just as she turns to face him!… WILSON HOPS BACK INTO THE RING, GOING FOR THE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM!!!!

Eve: CAT’S PAW KICK IN THE MID AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paisley shoves Neel aside and delivers a precise kick to Wilson’s jaw, preventing her partner from enduring any further punishment!

Gavin Kirkland: Pandora swiftly instructs Neel to hold back as Neel grabs Wilson from behind, setting up for the Evolver Kick! She’s aiming for the Ripcord Question Mark Kick while Paisley readies her Pandora’s Box SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD!!!! They are looking to seal the victory!

Deadprez: VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!!! TLA explodes out of the corner to rescue his partner, flooring Halsey with a running uppercut that also forces Neel aside!

Eve: Paisley sees her partner in jeopardy and quickly steps in to strike TLA with Pandora’s Box instead! TLA evades just in time as Wilson rises back to his feet!… DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN BLASTS PANDORA AWAY!!!!! DOUBLE SUPERKICK BY THE HUSTLE ALLIANCE KNOCKS HER DOWN!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Paisley is laid out by a devastating double superkick! Neel, still reeling from the uppercut, stumbles against the ropes as TLA gets back to his feet and sends her crashing to the outside with a running clothesline!

Deadprez: Defenses have crumbled against the British Invasion, leaving a clear path for Ryan Wilson to seize the moment! He drops into the cover after the double superkick lands flush!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!–

Deadprez: PANDORA PAISLEY POPS HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT AT TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hustle Alliance is inches away from securing victory!

Eve: At the moment, TLA stands guard to prevent Halsey from returning to the ring. Wilson finds himself alone with Paisley who just kicked out of the pinfall but is still dazed! He hauls the stunned Paisley back to her feet ready to put an end to this! He’s setting her up for the finish!… MIC DROPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HE HITS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Eve: No! He doesn’t connect! At the last possible second, Pandora throws her leg up, breaking free from his grasp! Wilson is forced to release her, now standing directly in front of her. Undeterred, he swiftly takes her legs out from under her ATTEMPTING TO LOCK IN THE LE CRABE QUÉBÉCOIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: He tries to wrench her leg into a Sharpshooter, but Paisley manages to shove him away with both feet! Wilson staggers back into the ropes, rebounding off them… HE CHARGES BACK IN LOOKING FOR A CLOTHESLINE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND PANDORA EXPERTLY TWISTS HIS ARM PULLING HIM INTO HER CLUTCHES… CATASTROPHE!!!!!!!! A VICIOUS HEADLOCK DRIVER PLANTS RYAN INTO THE MAT!!!!! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!!!

Eve: TLA quickly realizes what just happened and spins around rushing to slide back into the ring to save Wilson from the three count!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

Deadprez: He tries to return to the ring, but Halsey, seeing the action unfolding inside, grabs hold of TLA, yanking him away from the apron! TLA struggles to break free desperately trying to get back inside but Halsey isn’t the only one holding him back!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! TLA manages to escape and he slides into the ring!….

(…..)

Gavin Kirkland: TLA JUMPS IN TO BREAK UP THE COUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

(…..)

(…..)

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT’S TOO LATE!!!! TLA LEAPS INTO THE RING AND THE REFEREE’S HAND SLAPS THE MAT FOR THE THREE COUNT **AT THE FINAL MILLISECOND!!!!!** BRITISH INVASION RETAINS!!!!!

(DING DING DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… AND STILL… EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: What an incredible match for the Tag Team Titles tonight but still reigning as your champions are Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley of British Invasion!

Eve: These two entered this match brimming with confidence to crush Hustle Alliance’s hopes and tonight, they did just that, securing the Tag Team Titles for Voltage to carry forward!

Deadprez: It may not have been Hustle Alliance’s night to bring the Tag Team Championships back to the blue brand, but they put up an outstanding fight against the British Invasion! Props to both teams for an incredible battle for the belts!

(‘Refuse/Resist’ by Sepultura plays m as Pandora scrambles back to her feet, snatching the championship away from the referee. Halsey Neel makes her way back into the ring, receiving the title before both proudly raise them high in the air celebrating their actions tonight. TLA crawls over to check on Wilson, who sits up realizing what just happened as he buries his face in his hands. They both slowly help each other to their feet before turning around to face British Invasion, who stare back at them…)

(The Hustlers Alliance offers a handshake.)

Ryan Joseph Wilson: (Off-Mic) I know it might look strange coming from us, but we respect the fight you both put on tonight, and we have no shame in accepting this loss. We appreciate it.

(Pandora looks down at Ryan’s hand hesitating for a moment… **before finally accepting his handshake with a smile!** Likewise, Halsey looks up at TLA and accepts his handshake as well.)

Gavin Kirkland: And what a show of respect from both teams, acknowledging the incredible fight they had against each other tonight!

(Wilson and TLA exit the ring, making their way up the ramp together toward the back while Halsey and Pandora exchange smiles before continuing to celebrate their title defense as Reasonable Doubt fades into a commercial break.)

(A commercial break plays for Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR 2025 featuring Elysium.)

(The graphic for the next match appears.)

(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Gina Romano: And it is for the ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!

(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher starts to play before the crowd immediately starts cheering for the entrance of Cody Maverick. Cody is ready for action and is strictly business as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing THE CHALLENGERS! First, from Las Vegas, Nevada! Weighing 235 pounds! Here is “THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR” CODY MAVERICK!

Deadprez: Cody Maverick heading to the ring as the first of three competitors in this triple threat match. Cody got into this match back at King of Elite when he won the Fatal Four Way Elimination match.

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah and he wasn’t too happy when his one on one match was changed to a triple threat match, so I don’t expect Cody to be playing nice with this match.

Eve: Cody last fought for the National Elite Championship back at The Last Stand. He wants tonight to be the night where he finally wins his first championship in EAW. He has two tough opponents awaiting him, but tonight could be Cody’s night.

(Cody enters the ring and takes a corner to warm up for the match as his music is replaced by “Lowlife Princess” by BIBI. The cheers for Cody immediately turn to jeers as Miku Sakai enters the arena. She is glaring at the ring and has only one thing on her mind as she heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Making her way to the ring! From Fukui, Japan! Weighing in at 110 pounds. Here is MIKU SAKAI!

Gavin Kirkland: Ever since King of Elite, Miku Sakai has been on a tirade believing that she was screwed out of becoming the National Elite Champion and she has let everybody within hearing distance know it.

Eve: She’s brash, loud, arrogant, and likes to complain… but it worked out in her favor because she made her case and convinced Kennedy Street to give her another shot at the title.

Deadprez: Miku went to a double disqualification at King of Elite, so Kennedy saw her point. Tonight, she has to make the most of this opportunity. Believe me when I say… she will and she is going to try and take that chance all the way to title glory.

(Miku enters the ring and shoots a glare at Cody before she takes a neutral corner. Seconds later, “Faneto” by Chief Keef starts playing and the crowd starts cheering once again as the National Elite Champion SOSA Henderson enters the arena wearing his bulletproof jacket, sunglasses, and the National Elite Championship around his waist. SOSA is strictly business as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing in at 191 pounds. Here is the reigning and defending ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! HE IS “BULLETPROOF”! SOSA HENDERSON!

Eve: Here comes the Champ! He is looking as confident as ever as he heads to the ring for perhaps his toughest title defense to date as he goes towards a triple threat match.

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA cashed in the 24/7 Contract at The Last Stand to win the National Elite Championship from Veena Adams and that was the beginning of the rage that Miku believes SOSA has caused.

Deadprez: To SOSA, this match is another day at the office. SOSA said he was walking in as Champion and he is going to walk out as Champion. He’s halfway there. Let’s see if the National Elite Championship stays in the SOSA Era or will Miku or Cody stop that right in its tracks.

(SOSA enters the ring and takes off his entrance attire as he hands the title to the referee. The referee presents the National Elite Championship to the crowd before showing the belt to Champion and Challengers before handing the belt off to Gina Romano. The referee checks all three competitors before calling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: This match is underway. The National Elite Championship is on the line and all three competitors are airing on the side of caution in the beginning of this match. I honestly don’t blame them.

Deadprez: Me either, Eve. This match will be contested under sudden death rules, meaning that SOSA does NOT have to be involved in the final decision for the title to change hands. So if Miku pins Cody or vice versa, SOSA loses the title.

Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of SOSA, SOSA AND CODY HAVE BOTH JUST STARTED BEATING UP ON MIKU SAKAI! Many people thought this was going to be SOSA against Cody one on one until Miku changed that plan.

Deadprez: Cody and SOSA are double teaming Miku in the hopes of taking her out of the equation early on in this match as they have Miku down on the mat and they are putting the boots to Miku.

Eve: SOSA and Cody don’t care much about each other, but they both don’t like Miku at all as she is down as Cody grabs Miku by the legs and falls back–

Gavin Kirkland: SLINGSHOT BY CODY SENDS MIKU OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT SHE GOT STUCK ON THE TOP ROPE, BUT HERE COMES SOSA WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS MIKU THE REST OF THE WAY OVER THE TOP AND SENDS HER RIGHT TO THE FLOOR!

Eve: Just as quickly as that we find ourselves in a one on one situation. SOSA quickly turns around INTO A RIGHT HAND FROM CODY MAVERICK! CODY NOW DOING BOXING PRACTICE ON THE CHAMPION AS SOSA IS STUNNED!

Deadprez: Cody is using SOSA as a literal punching bag AS CODY GOES FOR AN UPPERCUT THAT SOSA AVOIDS! SOSA hooks Cody’s arm along the back of his neck AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX COUNTER!

Gavin Kirkland: Cody dropped on the back of his head as SOSA quickly follows up by getting back to his feet and grabbing Cody by the neck and TAKING HIM OVER WITH THE SNAPMARE!

Eve: Cody in the sitting position and SOSA hits the ropes BEFORE COMING BACK OFF THE ROPES WITH A BICYCLE KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE! THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN CODY’S NOSE!

Deadprez: Cody was ready to block the dropkick that usually follows up the snapmare, but SOSA changed things up a bit to keep his opposition off guard and it worked.

Gavin Kirkland: We can see Cody’s eyes watering after being kneed in the nose as SOSA brings Cody back up to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Cody with the rebound as SOSA GOES FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK—

Deadprez: CODY CAUGHT THE LEG! SOSA is hopping around on his free leg AS CODY JUST USES HIS POWER AND LIFTS SOSA UP IN THE AIR BEFORE DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH THE POWERBOMB COUNTER!

Eve: SOSA was dropped on his back and his head as Cody stacks up SOSA for the cover! CODY IS GONNA TRY AND STEAL IT EARLY ON!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHH–

(CRASH!)

Gavin Kirkland: MIKU MAKES HER WAY BACK INTO THE MATCH AS SHE CRACKED CODY ACROSS THE SKULL WITH A STEEL CHAIR! THAT HAD TO SCRAMBLE UP CODY’S BRAINS A LITTLE!

Eve: Remember that with the sudden death rules of this match that it can only end by pinfall or submission. That makes the steel chair as legal as a suplex. With these three, there will be plenty more where that came from.

Deadprez: Cody is holding his head in pain as he falls to the mat as Miku grabs SOSA by the hair and drags him over to the ropes. Miku puts SOSA’s throat on the middle rope AND MIKU IS STANDING ON SOSA’S SHOULDERS!

Gavin Kirkland: MIKU IS CHOKING SOSA ON THE ROPES AND THERE’S NOT A THING THE REFEREE CAN DO ABOUT IT! Miku has a smile on her face as she stands on SOSA to add pressure to the choke.

Eve: This won’t get her the win, but it could take SOSA out of the match for just long enough AND HERE COMES CODY WITH THE STEEL CHAIR–

(CRASH!)

Deadprez: MIKU MUST HAVE FELT IT COMING AS SHE JUMPED IN THE AIR AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND CODY CRACKED SOSA ACROSS THE BACK WITH THE CHAIR!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA falls to the mat as Miku jumps up again and wraps her legs around Cody’s neck AS SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND SNAPS CODY OVER WITH THE HEADSCISSOR TAKEDOWN!

Deadprez: Cody went for the ride as he tries to get back to his feet AND MIKU FOLLOWS UP WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE! THE FORCE OF THE DROPKICK SENDS CODY INTO THE CORNER!

Eve: After being taken out early in the match, Miku has taken firm control of this match. Cody is back to his feet in the corner AND MIKU COMES RUNNING IN AGAIN AS SHE JUMPS ONTO CODY!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku falls back AND SHE TAKES CODY UP AND OVER WITH THE MONKEY FLIP! Cody took some back damage as Miku grabs Cody and whips him to the corner on the opposite side.

Eve: Cody hits the turnbuckles AND MIKU COMES RUNNING IN FOR ANOTHER MONKEY FLIP, BUT CODY BLOCKS IT! Cody keeps hold of Miku and turns her around and sits her on the top turnbuckle.

Deadprez: Cody climbs up onto the second rope and has Miku by the head! CODY IS TRYING TO TAKE MIKU UP AND OVER WITH THE SUPERPLEX, BUT MIKU STILL HAS SOME FIGHT IN HER!

Gavin Kirkland: The beautiful Miku Sakai is blocking the superplex attempt as well as she can by weaving her feet within the ropes BUT CODY IS JUST POUNDING HER WITH RIGHT HANDS TO THE SKULL!

Eve: WAIT A SECOND! HERE COMES SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA HAS HOLD OF CODY AS CODY FINALLY GETS MIKU ON HER FEET ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SOSA PULLS CODY AWAY FROM THE CORNER–

Deadprez: ALL THREE COME CRASHING DOWN ON THE MAT WITH THE PROVERBIAL TOWER OF DOOM! MIKU WAS AT THE TOP OF THE TOWER AND SHE GOT THE WORST OF IT!

Gavin Kirkland: All three competitors are down as we see Miku roll over to the ropes in what could be an act of desperation, but being in the ropes won’t help in this match.

Deadprez: No rope breaks in this match. SOSA is on his feet and he grabs Cody and brings him to his feet. Miku is getting back to her feet on the outside, BUT SOSA HAS HOLD OF CODY—

Eve: SOSA USES CODY AS A BATTERING RAM AND CODY CRASHES RIGHT INTO MIKU! MIKU GOES SAILING OFF THE APRON AND CODY FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE AS WELL! Just like that, the Champion is now in control of this match.

Gavin Kirkland: Both of SOSA’s opponents are on the outside as SOSA starts to build up some momentum by hitting the ropes on the far side as he goes full speed back to the ropes. Cody and Miku are getting back to their feet–

Eve: SOSA LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE TAKES BOTH CODY MIKU DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL OVER THE TOP ROPE MOONSAULT PLANCHA! That is exactly why he is the reigning National Elite Champion.

Deadprez: Cody and Miku landed hard on the floor after the plancha and SOSA is soaking in the cheers of the crowd. SOSA grabs hold of Miku AND SENDS HER BACK FIRST RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA isn’t done. SOSA grabs Cody and lifts him up in the air BEFORE DROPPING CODY ON THE RING STEPS WITH ANOTHER BACK SUPLEX! GOOD GAWD! CODY’S BODY WAS HORRIBLY CONTORTED AFTER HITTING THE STEPS!

Eve: SOSA once again grabs Cody and he has Cody like a battering ram once again AND SOSA RUNS CODY FULL SPEED AND SENDS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!

Deadprez: Looks like SOSA is trying to not just beat his opponents. He looks like he wants to put them in the hospital as well. SOSA grabs Cody and rolls him back in the ring. Now SOSA has dropped down and he is looking under the ring for another weapon to join the fray.

Gavin Kirkland: No disqualifications or count outs in this match. The referee is there to count a pin or check on a submission. Now we see SOSA coming out from under the ring AND SOSA HAS A BASEBALL BAT!

Deadprez: SOSA looking for a grand slam as he rolls back into the ring as he eyes Cody Maverick, who has barely moved after being ran into the ringpost and the National Elite Champion is focused on Cody Maverick–

Eve: LOOK AT THE CORNER! IT’S MIKU SAKAI! MIKU IS ON THE TOP ROPE AND SHE GRABS SOSA BY THE HEAD AND PLANTS HIM WITH A BULLDOG! SOSA GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku is back on her feet, but she is still feeling the barricade shot from earlier. Miku sees the baseball bat and now Miku has the bat. Miku has almost a deranged look on her face as she watches SOSA try to get back to his feet.

Eve: SOSA is on his hands and knees as Miku Sakai brings that baseball bat up in the air AND SWINGS IT DOWN WITH ALL HER POWER–

(CRACK!)

Deadprez: OH MY GAWD! MIKU STRUCK SOSA ACROSS THE SPINE WITH THE BASEBALL BAT! HOLY SHIT! DO YOU SEE THE BASEBALL BAT?

Gavin Kirkland: I see it, Prezzy! MIKU STRUCK SOSA WITH SUCH FORCE THAT SHE BROKE THE BAT ACROSS HIS BACK! SOSA HASN’T MOVED SINCE BEING STRUCK!

Eve: Miku was proud of her handiwork as she rolls SOSA over on his back and hooks the leg for the cover!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE–

Deadprez: SOSA GETS SHOULDER UP AT TWO! MIKU WAS A SECOND AWAY FROM BECOMING THE NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION AND SHE IS GETTING IN THE REFEREE’S FACE!

Gavin Kirkland: Isn’t it a little early to be picking fights with the referee? Either way, Miku doesn’t like what the referee is telling her. It is a two count AND MIKU JUST SHOVED THE REFEREE! SHE IS PISSED!

Deadprez: Yelling and screaming at the poor referee isn’t going to help her cause. No microphone needed. Everybody in the arena is able to hear her scream. This is a big mistake on Miku’s part.

Eve: BECAUSE CODY IS BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE GRABS MIKU AND BRINGS HER DOWN WITH A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cody is back on his feet and he gets the crowd to yell his name along with him–

Gavin Kirkland: JUMPING ELBOW DROP! RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST OF MIKU SAKAI! IF I’M LUCKY, THAT ELBOW DROP WILL CAUSE SOME MAJOR SWELLING! OH BABY!!

Eve: You were doing so well up until now and you just ruined it. Anyways, Cody grabs hold of Miku and whips her to the ropes. Miku comes back off the whip AND CODY TAKES HER UP AND OVER WITH A BACK BODY DROP!

Deadprez: SHE LANDED ON THE CHAIR! THE STEEL CHAIR FROM EARLIER AND MIKU LANDED RIGHT ON IT! EXTRA DAMAGE TO THE SPINE OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku slowly made it back to her feet AND CODY IS RIGHT THERE TAKING HER BACK DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS! Cody goes for Miku again, but Miku has rolled out onto the apron. Again, that won’t help in a match like this.

Eve: Cody grabs Miku by the back of the neck almost treating her like an angry cat and walks her over to the corner AND SMASHES HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Miku is dazed and Cody grabs her with the facelock–

Deadprez: CODY LIFTS HER UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE TO BRING HER BACK INTO THE RING AND HAS HER IN THE AIR LETTING THE BLOOD RUSH TO HER HEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: Cody is building up for a delayed vertical suplex while the crowd is counting along as Cody shows his power while the crowd is counting in the background until they reach twenty–

Deadprez: SUPERKICK! SOSA CATCHES CODY RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE SUPERKICK AND CODY FALLS BACK TO THE MAT AND MIKU FALLS RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM! CODY’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN FOR A COVER–

Eve: SOSA GRABS MIKU BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED AND BRINGS HER BACK ON HER FEET AND CATCHES HER IN THE FACE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! MIKU IS DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is back in control and he walks over and grabs one of the broken pieces of the baseball bat as he brings Cody up into a seated position. OH I DON’T LIKE WHAT SOSA HAS PLANNED!

Eve: SOSA wants to win this match by any means necessary to further his cause as the National Elite Champion. SOSA has the broken end of the bat and he brings it up in the air–

Deadprez: SOSA JAMS THE BROKEN PIECE OF THE BASEBALL BAT RIGHT INTO CODY’S FOREHEAD! OH MY GAWD! SOSA isn’t done! SOSA rips the bat from Cody’s skin AND JUST STABS HIM AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: WE CAN IMMEDIATELY SEE THE BLOOD START TO FLOW FROM CODY’S FOREHEAD! SOSA IS NOT PLAYING AROUND AS HE SHOVES CODY TO THE MAT!

Eve: SOSA isn’t done yet. He grabs the other piece of the broken bat and walks over to the recovering Miku Sakai. This time SOSA doesn’t wait AND HE JUST DRIVES THE OTHER BROKEN BAT PIECE INTO THE BACK OF MIKU’S HEAD!

Deadprez: BASEBALL BAT INTO THE BASE OF MIKU’S SKULL AND WE CAN START TO SEE MIKU’S HAIR START TO HAVE A LITTLE RED MIXED IN AS SHE STARTS TO BLEED AS WELL!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA grabs Miku and brings her back to her feet and lifts her into the air BEFORE BEING DRIVEN DOWN WITH THE LUMBAR CHECK! KNEES INTO THE SPINE SENDS MIKU TO THE MAT AND SOSA GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR—

Deadprez: CODY BREAKS UP THE COVER AND IT’S A NEAR FALL FOR THE CHAMPION! The blood is all over Cody’s face as Cody and SOSA have a face off in the middle of the ring–

Eve: CODY JUST SLAPPED SOSA RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! SOSA HENDERSON IS… LAUGHING! HE THOUGHT THAT THE SLAP WAS HILARIOUS–

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA RETURNED THE FAVOR AND SLAPPED CODY ACROSS THE FACE! SOSA got some of Cody’s blood on his hand AND HE JUST WIPES IT ON CODY’S CHEST! Not gonna lie, that was kind of awesome!

Eve: You’re disgusting. But Cody didn’t appreciate the slap AND CODY PUNCHES SOSA IN THE JAW WITH A RIGHT HOOK! THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A KNOCKOUT PUNCH!

Deadprez: SOSA is still on his feet off the punch AND CODY FOLLOWS UP WITH FOREARMS CATCHING SOSA IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! SOSA was knocked back off the forearm and Cody keeps throwing forearms until SOSA is backed into the corner.

Gavin Kirkland: AND CODY FIRES A CHOP RIGHT ACROSS SOSA’S CHEST! HE DOESN’T STOP AT ONE! ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER! BANGER! AFTER BANGER! AFTER BANGER! AFTER BANGER!

Eve: WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Deadprez: Don’t question it, Eve. I think Gavin is just losing it.

Gavin Kirkland: I AM NOT! This match is a banger! So much action and you can only find this type of action on SHOWDOWN BECAUSE WE WRESTLE!! WOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: Gavin needs to cut back on whatever the hell he’s drinking but he does have a point. As we get back to the match, SOSA’s chest is bleeding a little after all those damn chops.

Eve: Cody pulls SOSA out of the corner BEFORE DELIVERING A DROPKICK THAT SENDS SOSA CRASHING BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! SOSA with his great ring awareness grabbed onto the top rope to stay on his feet.

Gavin Kirkland: Cody grabs hold of SOSA and lifts him up onto the top rope before grabbing him by the head and pulling SOSA to the point where SOSA’s feet are on the top rope. Cody likes to set up for the “Moneymaker” DDT in this position.

Eve: That DDT could be a match ender right here if Cody hits the DDT. Cody has SOSA in position and he is ready to—

Deadprez: LOW BLOW! MIKU WITH A LOW BLOW ON CODY! NOT AGAIN! SHADES OF LAST WEEK ON SHOWDOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: That’s certainly a way to block the DDT. Cody goes down in pain as SOSA finds himself in a reverse Tree of Woe position. Miku kicks Cody out of the way as MIKU COMES RUNNING TOWARDS THE CORNER–

Eve: RUNNING KNEE RIGHT INTO SOSA’S FACE! CAUGHT HIM RIGHT IN THE NOSE AND SOSA COMES OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND NOW HE’S SITTING IN THE CORNER!

Deadprez: That was not the best thing for SOSA as Miku has rolled back into the ring with a mirror in hand. SOSA hasn’t moved AND SHE RUNS TOWARDS THE CORNER AGAIN–

Gavin Kirkland: MUSTACHE RIDE! BRONCO BUSTER BY MIKU SAKAI! DAMN SOSA IS SO DAMN LUCKY! I WISH IT WAS ME!! I’LL SWITCH PLACES WITH SOSA!

Deadprez: You are such a pervert. The mirror is there almost in a condescending manner to SOSA so SOSA can watch him having the Mustache Ride… that did not sound right.

Eve: No it didn’t. Either way, Miku still has hold of the mirror before she lifts it up AND CRACKS IT ACROSS SOSA’S SKULL! LOOK AT THE SHARDS LODGED IN SOSA’S FOREHEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: Glass has scattered the corner as Miku uses whatever strength she has left and drags SOSA to the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover! NEW CHAMPION! WOOOOOOOO!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Eve: SOSA KICKED OUT AT TWO! SOSA BARELY GOT THE SHOULDER UP AND MIKU CAN’T BELIEVE IT! MIKU ONCE AGAIN A SECOND AWAY FROM BECOMING THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! ONCE AGAIN SHE IS PISSED!

Deadprez: Miku grabs SOSA AND JUST TOSSES HIM OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR AND NOW SHE’S JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF CODY MAVERICK NOW!

Gavin Kirkland: That’s one way to try and win. Beat the crap out of one opponent and he kicks out, just try and beat the crap out of the other opponent and see if that fares any better. Beauty and brains.

Eve: She’s throwing a fit for gawd’s sake. She can’t control her temper as she grabs Cody and brings him to his feet BEFORE JUMPING UP AND TAKING HIM OVER WITH THE JUMPING SNAPMARE TAKEOVER!

Deadprez: Cody quickly gets back to his feet AND MIKU GOES FOR THE HIP ATTACK AND CODY NARROWLY AVOIDS THE MOVE! Cody does manage to grab Miku and hoists her onto his shoulders.

Gavin Kirkland: Miku is in a bad way here as Cody walks over to the center of the ring AND DROPS DOWN FOR THE ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER! MIKU WAS TURNED INSIDE OUT AFTER THAT ONE!

Deadprez: Miku is holding her lower back in pain as Cody grabs her and brings her back to her feet before whipping her to the ropes. Miku once again rebounds off the ropes and runs right into Cody–

Eve: WHO LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR AND DRIVES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE “DEEP END”! POWERFUL SPINEBUSTER ALMOST DROVE MIKU THROUGH THE MAT! HAS MIKU GONE OFF THE DEEP END? SHE MIGHT HAVE AS CODY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! WILL THE DREAM BE REALIZED NOW?

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: HE GOT IT! THIS MATCH IS OVER! DING! DING! DING! WINNER!

Eve: THE REFEREE HASN’T CALLED FOR THE BELL! THE REFEREE IS SHOWING CODY THAT IT WAS ONLY A TWO! CODY WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET A NEAR FALL OFF THE SPINEBUSTER!

Deadprez: Cody is in extreme disbelief that he didn’t get the fall right there. CODY JUST POUNDS HIS FISTS INTO THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION THAT HE DIDN’T PUT MIKU AWAY RIGHT THERE!

Gavin Kirkland: He needs to stay focused if he wants to win this match. Right now Cody is getting back to his feet as he calls for Miku to get back to her feet. He wants to put Miku away right here and now–

(CRACK!)

Eve: WHAT IN THE– SOSA! SOSA HENDERSON PUNCHED CODY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND HE FALLS LIKE A STONE TO THE MAT! HOW IN THE HELL DID HE… OHHHHHH! THAT EXPLAINS IT!

Deadprez: Now I see what you are talking about, look at SOSA’s hand! HE HAS A CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS HAND? WHERE IN THE HELL DID HE GET A CHAIN? HE WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING UNDER THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland: We have a replay going on right now and we see that SOSA came to the timekeeper’s area where they had his jacket and he had the chain in his jacket pocket. I guess there’s nothing wrong with having a little extra insurance.

Deadprez: Cody might have been knocked out after that punch and SOSA drags him over to the corner and SOSA is now climbing up to the high rent district that is the top rope.

Eve: We haven’t seen much of SOSA flying high in this match. Maybe he’s toning down the risky moves with the high stakes that surround this matchup. Now’s as good of a time as any to go for it all.

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA has found his footing on the top turnbuckle while Cody is still pretty much knocked out on the mat AS SOSA COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE SOSA BOMB! DIRECT HIT WITH THE SWANTON BOMB!

Eve: Another high impact move to Cody as SOSA drags him towards the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover! SOSA IS GOING TO RETAIN HERE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI COMES IN AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT AND BREAKS UP THE COVER TO KEEP HER CHANCES ALIVE IN THIS MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku with a knee to the side of the head AND LOOK AT MIKU! CODY IS STILL DOWN AND NOW MIKU GOES FOR THE COVER ON CODY! MIKU FOR THE TITLE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Eve: SOSA JUST PULLED MIKU OFF OF CODY AND SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF! MIKU CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SOSA DID THAT AND SHE IS GETTING RIGHT IN SOSA’S FACE!

Deadprez: These two are just yelling at each other UNTIL MIKU SHOVES SOSA AWAY!

Miku Sakai: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WAS ABOUT TO WIN THE TITLE YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku’s beautiful, but she knows just as well as the rest of us that SOSA did that to save his own title. But SOSA didn’t take too kindly to what Miku did AND HE RETURNS THE FAVOR AND SHOVES MIKU BACK!

SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) WHAT KIND OF FUCKING QUESTION WAS THAT? I AM SAVING MY TITLE, YOU STUPID BITCH!

Deadprez: Well calling Miku a stupid bitch was the wrong button to press AS MIKU JUMPS ONTO SOSA AND SHE IS BITING! SHE IS BITING ON SOSA’S FOREHEAD!

Eve: THIS WOMAN IS A DAMN PSYCHO BITCH AS SOSA IS TRYING TO THROW MIKU OFF OF HIM, BUT SHE IS NOT MOVING AS SHE GNAWS OFF SOSA’S FOREHEAD LIKE A DERANGED HORROR MOVIE ZOMBIE!

Gavin Kirkland: You know what? I sorta dig crazy chicks. Do you think that Miku would be willing to go out with me? I think we would make an amazing couple.

Eve: No.

Deadprez: As we get back to the match, SOSA IS CLIMBING UP THE ROPES ONCE MORE AND MIKU IS STILL BITING! WE CAN SEE SOME FRESH BLOOD FLOWING FROM SOSA’S FOREHEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: Does SOSA even still have a forehead right now? Miku has been gnawing at SOSA for a good minute now, but right now, SOSA is standing on the top rope AS HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND MIKU’S HEAD–

Eve: SOSA LIFTS MIKU UP IN THE AIR AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION THAT SOSA HAS HER IN RIGHT NOW! BE CAREFUL UP THERE! THIS COULD GO VERY WRONG–

Deadprez: SOSA COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HE HITS THE BRAINBUSTER FROM THE TOP ROPE! HOLY SHIT! MIKU WAS DROPPED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD AND SHE IS NOT MOVING! SHE COULD BE SPEAKING WITH THE ANGELS FOR ALL WE KNOW!

Gavin Kirkland: DON’T SAY THAT! SHE IS STILL WITH US BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO GIVE MY LOVE A CHANCE!

Deadprez: I’m not going anywhere near that. Anyways, SOSA should be taking advantage right now and going for the cover, but it looks like SOSA took some damage off the brainbuster and now all three competitors are down.

Eve: We will just have to watch and see if and when one of them gets back to their feet because there must be a winner. We have been informed that there will not be a draw and there will not be a no contest. Somebody MUST win.

Gavin Kirkland: The referee is checking on SOSA and Miku in the ring. WAIT A SECOND! SOSA HAS JUST ROLLED OVER AND DRAPED AN ARM OVER MIKU! THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT HERE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

(CRASH!)

Eve: THE COVER HAS JUST BEEN BROKEN UP BY… A LADDER?!?! NOW WE SEE CODY MAVERICK! I DIDN’T EVEN SEE HIM GET BACK TO HIS FEET!

Deadprez: He used that to his advantage as he was able to roll out of the ring undetected by almost everybody and he was able to sneak under the ring and grab a ladder before sliding it in the ring.

Gavin Kirkland: Not only did he roll the ladder into the ring, he used the ladder and crushed it on top of SOSA to keep this match going and keep his chances alive in this match. Cody puts the ladder back on the mat and he drags SOSA and puts him on the ladder.

Eve: Cody runs over to the ropes AND JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF SOSA WITH THE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! PLEASE DON’T DIE, CODY!

Deadprez: That moonsault caused some extra damage thanks to the ladder. SOSA holds his back in pain as he rolls off the ladder. Cody picks up the ladder and now he sets it up in the center of the ring.

Gavin Kirkland: Cody now rolls out of the ring once again to go looking under the ring for more weaponry and we are not disappointed AS WE HAVE A TABLE COMING INTO PLAY! Cody slides the table into the ring and he sets it up next to the ladder.

Deadprez: The table is up and Cody places SOSA on the table before Cody starts to climb up the ladder in the hopes of putting SOSA away. He could be just a few moments away from winning the National Elite Championship.

Eve: Cody is making his way up the ladder BUT LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE! SOSA HAS ROLLED OFF THE TABLE AND HAS GRABBED LADDER RUNGS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND HE IS CLIMBING UP THE LADDER AS WELL!

Gavin Kirkland: We have a race to the top of the ladder as Cody makes it to the top of the ladder first with SOSA hot on his heels.

Eve: Cody grabs SOSA by the hair and pulls him the rest of the way up the ladder BEFORE SLUGGING SOSA WITH A RIGHT HAND!

Deadprez: SOSA felt that shot BUT HE COMES BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN AS HE TRIES TO KNOCK CODY OFF THE LADDER!

Gavin Kirkland: Cody returns the favor with another right hook and SOSA does the same thing AND THESE TWO ARE SLUGGING IT OUT ABOUT TWELVE OR FIFTEEN FEET IN THE AIR! ALL OF THIS IS FOR THE PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Eve: We still have a stalemate on top of the ladder, BUT CODY SNEAKS HIS FIST THROUGH THE LADDER AND PUNCHES SOSA IN THE RIBS! SNEAKY SHOT BY CODY BEFORE HE PUNCHES SOSA ONE MORE TIME! OH MY GAWD! HE’S LOSING HIS GRIP! HE’S GONNA FALL! HE’S GONNA FALL!

Deadprez: HE CAUGHT HIMSELF AT THE LAST SECOND AND IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFT AS CODY GRABS SOSA BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND HE SMASHES SOSA’S FACE ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER–-

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA BLOCKED IT! SOSA GRABS HOLD OF CODY AND SMASHES HIS FACE ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER! SOSA STILL HAS HOLD OF CODY AND SMASHES HIS HEAD INTO THE LADDER FOR GOOD MEASURE!

Deadprez: SOSA pulls Cody up until he’s almost on the top of the ladder. Cody is dazed after hitting the ladder AND OH MY GAWD! SOSA GRABS THE LADDER AND ALMOST DOES A HANDSTAND ON THE LADDER!

Eve: SOSA HAS HIS LEGS AROUND CODY’S NECK! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! SOSA HAS CODY AND HE FLIPS BACK–

(CRASH)

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA WITH THE MODIFIED HANDSTAND HEADSCISSORS TAKING CODY OVER THE TOP OF THE LADDER AND CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE! OH MY GAWD!

Eve: CODY IS DOWN AND HE IS OUT AS HE IS WITHIN THE REMNANTS THAT WAS THE TABLE! SOSA is still on the ladder holding on as he gets himself back on the ladder.

Deadprez: SOSA has just switched positions on the ladder and he is now standing on the top rung of the ladder. SOSA WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS INSANE!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA going for it all as he makes sure that Cody knows the feeling of being “PAID IN FULL”! SOSA IS GOING ULTIMATE HIGH RISK GOING FOR HIS FINISHER ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER–

Eve: MIKU SAKAI! MIKU SAKAI IS BACK ON HER FEET AND SHE IS STARTING TO SHAKE THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER! SOSA WISES UP AND GETS HIMSELF OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!

Deadprez: Miku is trying to build up some momentum as she keeps pushing the ladder! MIKU FINALLY GETS THE LADDER GOING AND SHE PUSHES THE LADDER DOWN–

Gavin Kirkland: THE LADDER FALLS AND SOSA LANDED VERY UGLY ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE CRASHING ON THE APRON AND FALLING OUT OF THE RING! THAT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE BEEN A CAREER ENDER FOR SOSA!

Deadprez: That leaves Miku Sakai as the only person standing in the ring right now. It has got to be academic at this point. Miku Sakai can pick her poison and win the title.

Eve: Cody is still out in the middle of the ring and Miku stands over Cody AND GIVES CODY A LITTLE BIT OF “CAT SCRATCH FEVER”! MIKU RAKES CODY’S EYES!

Gavin Kirkland: Look at the egotistical smirk on Miku’s face as she uses Cody’s hair to bring him back to his feet. Cody is done. Miku is just adding insult to injury at this point.

Eve: Cody is standing and Miku grabs Cody from around the neck! Miku with a smile as she flips off the crowd BEFORE FLIPPING BACK FOR THE ASAI DDT! DEATH NOTE CONNECTS!

Deadprez: SIN! CITY! STUNNER! HOW IN THE HELL WAS CODY CONSCIOUS ENOUGH TO COUNTER THE DDT! HOLY SHIT! AS MIKU WAS FLIPPING BACK FOR THE “DEATH NOTE” DDT, CODY HAD ENOUGH AWARENESS TO BE READY FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT!

Gavin Kirkland: CODY USED MIKU’S EGO AGAINST HER AND HE CAUGHT HER WITH THE STUNNER! MIKU JUST DROPS TO THE MAT AND CODY USES WHAT LITTLE ENERGY HE HAS LEFT TO FALL INTO THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

Eve: WAIT A SECOND! SOSA HAS SOMEHOW MADE IT BACK TO HIS FEET ON THE OUTSIDE AND HE REALIZES THAT A COUNT IS GOING ON AND HE RUSHES TO THE RING!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA IS ON THE APRON AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE RING! IS HE GONNA BREAK UP THE PIN IN TIME?

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: DID HE GET THERE? NO HE DIDN’T! THE REFEREE IS CALLING FOR THE BELL! SOSA JUST MISSED IT BY A FEW INCHES! THIS MATCH IS OVER!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Kostas” starts playing again as Cody slowly rolls off of Miku with almost a look of shock. SOSA also has a look of shock on his face as Gina Romano announces the final decision.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! The winner of this contest….

Gina Romano: AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! CODY MAVERICK!!!!

Deadprez: CODY HAS DONE IT! CODY MAVERICK WON THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP IN THIS TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!

Eve: Cody showed that the third time was definitely the charm. Cody had a mission to win the National Elite Championship and he accomplished it here tonight!!

(It took a moment, but Cody is back on his feet as the referee hands him the National Elite Championship belt before raising his arm in victory. There is emotion on Cody’s face as SOSA is looking on now fully realizing what just happened.)

Gavin Kirkland: Believe me. I am so happy to see Cody Maverick win the title, but you have to feel for SOSA. The sudden death rules mean that SOSA didn’t have to be involved in the fall to lose the title… AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!! The SOSA is over just as quick as it started. That sucks!

(The referee has gone to check on Miku while Cody has celebrated his title victory in the ring. He holds HIS title in the air one more time before slowly leaving the ring and gingerly walking up the entrance ramp.)

Eve: I will agree that you have to feel for SOSA as we can see the heartbreak on his face knowing he was just a fingertip away. But you also have to feel bad for Miku, who did earn this second chance at the title, but wasn’t able to come up with the win. Both fought hard and there’s no doubt we will see them fight for championship gold again soon.

Deadprez: I agree with you, Eve. There will be another day for SOSA and Miku, but tonight belongs to “The Sin City Superstar”! Congratulations to Cody Maverick for winning his first title in EAW! You earned it.

(The final shot shows Miku still being tended on in the ring before cutting to SOSA who pounds the mat in frustration that he lost without being pinned before cutting to Cody Maverick who is standing on the top of the entrance ramp holding the title in the air once more to the ovation of the crowd before cutting elsewhere.)

( The scene fades in, revealing Kennedy Street and Alana Starr making their way down the backstage hallway. )

Kennedy Street: I can’t lie, Showdown is really outdoing itself with this show. I was expecting it to be amazing but it has far succeeded, just amazing and we haven’t even got to the bigger matches yet! We also still have that Main Event, I’ll say this is already adding up to be the show of the year.

Alana Starr: I don’t doubt that one bit, I didn’t expect this show to far succeed with already high expectations. However, I think we need to address the elephant lurking around here.

( Kennedy slows to a stop, casting a sidelong glance at Alana. She knows exactly what she means but chooses not to dwell on it, not wanting to dampen the mood. )

Alana Starr: I mean…we got to be prepared, that Masked person is still on the loose running around here. Attacking our stars and causing chaos, the last thing we need to do is drop our guard even for a second. Who knows where that CREEP could be CREEPING around.

( Kennedy sighs. )

Kennedy Street: I suppose, but it’s nothing that I haven’t thought of. I amped up security around the arena before we even got here. More guards and put a couple new cameras around to monitor blindspots. Whoever this person is, they are not going to ruin this—

( SUDDENLY A SCREAM COULD BE HEARD FROM BEHIND THEM! )

( Wrestlers rush out of the locker room, pushing through a crowd of confused and concerned colleagues eager to find the source of the chaos. As they reach the locker room, Kennedy and Alana gasp in shock. There, lying on the floor, bruised and bloodied… )

( # PANDORA PAISLEY! )

( Halsey sat by her side, holding her up and trying to keep her conscious. )

Halsey Neel: It’s going to be ok, it’s going to be ok- GET SOME HELP GOD DAMMIT! GET HELP!

( As she screamed, the medical team charged in and immediately got to work. Kennedy and Alana watched in the doorway concerned, while someone else stepped in to get a look at the situation… )

Silas Mason: Wow, this place is dangerous. Such a shame that Kelton’s girlfriend had to fall victim to this circus.

( Kennedy snaps her head around, seeing Silas and immediately start tapping her finger against his chest.)

Kennedy Street: QUICK THE GAMES SILAS! You think everybody is so stupid and you’re so smart? We know that you are orchestrating this and when you slip up and reveal yourself. So help me god…

Silas Mason: So quick to point fingers, I just got here just like everyone else. Have you ever tried relaxing just once this week, Kennedy? I heard a vaction does wonders.

Kennedy Street: I won’t be relaxed until your ASS is behind bars.

( As Kennedy laid into Silas, Elysium stormed in, followed closely by Milli Banks, rushing to assess the situation. Kelton stood frozen, his face draining of color as he saw Pandora lying there, before his gaze shot to Silas. In an instant, his shock turned to fury, his fists clenched tight as rage consumed him. )

Jon Kelton: YOU BALD SON OF A BITCH! YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF BEFORE I PUNCH YOUR TEETH IN?!

( Kelton charges forward, his anger burning through him, but Bronson steps in, grabbing hold of his partner in a desperate attempt to hold him back. The two struggle, Kelton fighting with all his might to break free, while Bronson fights to keep him from lunging at Silas. )

Bronson Daniels: I understand! I understand how you’re feeling but you can’t let it get to you man! He ain’t worth it! He isn’t worth it.

( Kelton stops struggling but continues to stare a hole into Silas, who dusts himself off and continued to hold a calm demeanor. )

Silas Mason: Alright listen, I know I ain’t the most trustworthy of people and you’re going to take everything I say with a grain of salt-

Milli Banks: Fuck a grain, bitch we don’t trust you at all.

Silas Mason: …Whatever you believe or not, I don’t really care. Point is, I had nothing to do with this. Alright, whatever happened here, whoever did this. It’s as simple as that. There is no blood on my hands, alright. Believe what you want, but that’s as truthful you’re going to get from me. I’ll catch you around.

( Silas walks away, leaving the chaos behind as Kelton rushes into the locker room, his eyes locked on Pandora. The medics surround her, working frantically to help, but Kelton doesn’t care. He grabs her hand, holding it with all his strength. Tears well up in his eyes as he chokes out words, his voice breaking as he desperately tries to reach her. )

Jon Kelton: I’m going to get whoever did this to you? I promise you they are going to—

Pandora Paisley: Kelton…don’t worry about me. You don’t…need to worry about me or what happened.

Jon Kelton: What are you talking about? I’m going to stay right here until I know you’re ok.

Pandora Paisley: No…what you can do for me…is not sit here by my side. But do what you were destined to do…win that World Championship. Please, please…win that Championship.

( Kelton clings to her hand, unwilling to let go, but after a long moment, he reluctantly nods and forces himself to his feet. He wipes away the tears, before storming out of the locker room. Bronson glances at Kelton, then switches his gaze to Milli Banks. )

Bronson Daniels: I’m going to go talk to him.

( Milli Banks nods, as Bronson Daniels leaves. Banks then turn towards the medical staff and Halsey in the locker room. )

Milli Banks: Y’all take good care of Pandora.

( She grabs her sunglasses and flicks them open, slowly them putting it on. )

Milli Banks: While we take care of our business.

( Milli walks away, the scene fading on the imagery in the locker room trying to keep Pandora steady. )

(Reasonable Doubt then finally, shows the last graphic of the night in the titantron.)

( https://i.ibb.co/k6mL3msD/Iron-Scramble-AWC.png )

(The crowd comes unglued as the camera pans around the arena for the last match of the night, they wait patiently now before finally, “Lost in the World” by Kanye West plays on the speakers. The crowd cheers incredibly loudly as Jon Kelton walks through the entrance stage with his expression being conflicted, slightly confused but quickly forming into one of confidence and belief in himself. He looks at the people around, yet again getting motivated by the gigantic support of the people around him. He believes.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, RESIDING IN DALLAS TEXAS, WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS, HE IS “THE LAST HOPE” JOOOONNNN KELTOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

Deadprez: I don’t think Kelton will be in his game right now, after Pandora got attacked earlier in the night by god knows what, you have to wonder if that will affect him.

Eve: We are not sure, Kelton seems focused and determined to finally get the world championship, even with that, he has the help of Bronson heading into the match tonight. Even though there can only be one champion…

Deadprez: What matters right now is to not let Donovan or Harper win, that is their mindset heading into this match. No matter what, one dream will end up becoming true.

(Kelton accepts the high fives of the crowd, taking a deep breath in and out and mentally preparing himself before rolling inside of the ring and then going to take his corner. “My War” by Shinsei Kamattechan plays on the speakers and the crowd explodes in cheers as well, Bronson Daniels comes out with his head holding a lot of thoughts, but the biggest one of them all was to finally end this whole injustice and bring Showdown back to normal. He stands there, yet again taking in the support from the crowd and feeling like he can truly fly if he wanted to. Milli comes out, clapping and then trying to hype him up. Bronson nods along with Milli and then finally, he goes down alongside her.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING SECOND, RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS, BRONSOOOOOONNNNN DANIEEEEEEEEEELLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Deadprez: A lot in the line here and a lot weighing on Bronson’s mind, yet again, he finds himself in a situation where he has to save a brand from having people overtake it and abuse it to their own whim! He is heading into it with a do or die mentality, and it shows.

Eve: This time though, he is not alone. He has someone to confide in and push through with if it is necessary, as long as the world championship and Showdown can be saved, that is the objective! And after everything that he suffered, Bronson can’t let this happen again!

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah! Finish the story and… all of that, are we still doing that?

(Bronson walks through the ramp and then slides inside, he goes and meets up with Kelton, the two fist bumping each other and then Kelton crouching to fist bump Milli as well. Elysium take the corner together and wait patiently. ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics plays on the speakers and the cheers quickly turn into boos, Harper strolls casually towards the stage with a smile on her face, she spreads her arms slowly, moving along to the beat of her song, confident on herself and joyful knowing that she was going to yet again make Bronson and Kelton’s life a living hell.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THIRD, FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA! WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS, SHE IS THE “FROZEN STAR”, HARPEEEEERRRRR LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: Man, I don’t want to hear this song anymore, legit.

Eve: Okay, I know we will be very biased in the match but at least the song is nice!

Gavin Kirkland: Yet again, Harper Lee stunting on the gear department! And she will stunt her opponents and then hopefully become the Answers World Champion! Although I am sure she will be happy as well with Donovan winning too and keeping the title.

Eve: Well, she did say that she was going to backstab Donovan if she truly found it necessary, so…

Deadprez: Hopefully the worst happens for her.

(Harper walks down the ramp, ignoring the people booing and then gracefully walking up the steel steps, moving her cape to enter quickly and then taking the opposite corner from Kelton and Bronson. “Enemy” by From Ashes to New plays on the speakers and the boos become even louder, Donovan Duke calmly comes out with his head tilted down to the ground, a towel wrapped around his neck as he stands there, absolutely focused and with everything to lose in his hands, and by everything, he means the world championship that he “rightfully” earned. Silas Mason calmly comes out with him, nodding along and clapping for him despite the hostile reaction. The Answers World Championship shines in his waist.)

Gina Romano: AND INTRODUCING LAST, FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA, WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS, HE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, “DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR”, DONOVAAANNNN DUKEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: Somehow, I got even angrier!

Eve: Yeah, that reaction is indeed normal at this moment. I don’t understand how such a loved man like Donovan can become such a controversial and hated figure, all because of a championship?

Gavin Kirkland: The WORLD Championship, Eve!

Deadprez: Shut up, bro, that is not my damn world champion!

Eve: Settle down, you two. We need to keep a cool head heading into a match like this, because even though he is the world champion, he has turned everyone against him in his actions to get here and to keep that championship. What will happen tonight to see for him and his opponents, we will have to wait.

(Donovan takes off the towel and then walks forward, Silas following along and making sure none of the people in the front row touch him. Donovan climbs up the steel steps and enters through the ropes, taking the corner with Harper as they greet each other with a hug. Silas is talking with both his clients while Bronson and Kelton are chatting it up and planning with Milli.)

(But suddenly, the music cuts off and then Gina Romano takes the center stage.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin the match! I have to remind you of the rules once more, tonight, it will be an Iron Scramble match! There will be pinfalls and submissions, as well as no count outs and no disqualifications! Each time a wrestler scores a pinfall or a submission the match will NOT end! They will end up becoming the interim Answers World Champion! These reigns will not be recorded at all as official reigns.

Gina Romano: Whoever is the interim champion once the time limit runs out, they will be declared winner and become the true champion!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Gina Romano: …Those were the original rules. Now there is a catch.

(At that moment, everyone standing in the ring is confused except Gina. She opens up a letter right in her hands and then reads it.)

Gina Romano: Kennedy Street is tired of a particular side trying to make her seem like she has some sort of bias towards some of the wrestlers standing on the ring. Especially from a certain unknown man with less than ideal hair, and so for the Iron Scramble match, before the contract signing… a new rule was added in the contract without the two sides knowing for a full unbiased match!

Gina Romano: The time limit… WILL NOW BE A COMPLETE MYSTERY!

Eve: Huh?!

Deadprez: WHAT??????

Gina Romano: Instead of 60 minutes, it can now be 10, 20, 30 or hell, maybe even only 5 minutes. The only person who knows what the actual time is Kennedy Street herself!

Gina Romano: But here is the thing, alongside that, there is a way to reveal the time limit! If the competitors reach a certain quota of “title changes”, the time limit will be revealed and the minutes that are left on the clock at that moment. The number of title changes has been randomly chosen behind closed doors and it is also unknown.

Gina Romano: May the Iron Scramble begin!

(Gina now walks away and all the competitors are left confused, Bronson and Kelton are trying to talk out quickly about this while Harper and Donovan are nervously listening towards Silas. They try to think of something, but they are forced to prepare now, as now…)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL DID WE JUST HEAR?! WE DON’T KNOW THE TIME LIMIT ANYMORE????

Eve: THE GAME PLAN HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED FOR ALL THE ELITISTS IN THE RING, AND NOW… ALL FOUR OF THEM RUSH OUT OF THEIR CORNERS AND THEY START THROWING STRIKES AND HAYMAKERS ARE AT EACH OTHER!!!

Deadprez: BRONSON DANIELS RUSHES DIRECTLY TOWARDS DONOVAN DUKE WHILE KELTON RUNS TOWARDS HARPER, ALL FOUR OF THEM FIGHT IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, KICKING INTO HIGH GEAR AND NOT STOPPING AT ALL!

Eve: BRONSON IS ABLE TO GET THE UPPER HAND, DODGING A RIGHT AND GRABBING ONTO DONOVAN’S HEAD BEFORE THROWING HIM OUT AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Deadprez: WHILE KELTON IS ABLE TO OVERPOWER HARPER AND THEN GRAB ONTO HER HEAD AS WELL, THROWING HER OVER THE TOP ROPE ALONGSIDE DONOVAN! BOTH ELYSIUM STAND IN THE RING AND STARE TOWARDS EACH OTHER, NODDING IN RESPONSE!

Eve: KELTON AND BRONSON RUN TOWARDS THE ROPES, BOUNCING OFF THEM AND THEN RUNNING ACROSS THE RING, BEFORE GOING FOR STEREO SUICIDE DIVES!!!

Gavin Kirkland: JON KELTON IS ABLE TO LAND HIS SUICIDE DIVE!

Deadprez: BUT IN A FREAKISH SHOW OF STRENGTH, DONOVAN DUKE CATCHES BRONSON DANIELS! WHAT THE HELL?! HE BACKS TOWARDS OUR ANNOUNCER TABLE! WATCH OUT!

Eve: BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX ONTO BRONSON DANIELS OVER OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DJIIJFIDJFIDJFIDJIFDJIFJIFJDFIFFDJIJFDJFIDJIFJIDFJIJIDFIDJIFJIJIIJ!!!!

Eve: Oh, yeah, Donovan threw Bronson onto Gavin :mjlol:

Deadprez: BRONSON GOES FLYING OVER THE COMMENTATOR’S TABLE WITH THAT ONE, BUT JON KELTON HAS BETTER LUCK AS HE IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO HARPER LEE AND THEN THROW HER AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! NOW HE FOCUSES TOWARDS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION HIMSELF!

Eve: DONOVAN TURNS AROUND AND THEN GRABS ONTO KELTON, TRYING TO HIT HIS OWN BELLY TO BELLY ONTO HIM, BUT KELTON IS ABLE TO QUICKLY ELBOW DOWN ONTO DONOVAN’S HEAD, AND PREVENTING HIM FROM HITTING IT! HE PUSHES DONOVAN TOWARDS THE BARRICADE!

Gavin Kirkland: OKAY, I AM FINE GUYS! Right uh- Kelton starts sizing it up and now he runs forward again, trying to go for a knee strike onto Donovan!

Eve: Donovan sidesteps to the side and Kelton ends up kneeing the barricade instead! He grabs onto his knee from the pain and that just gives Donovan the chance to-

Deadprez: HIT HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! DAAAMNNN! THAT ANGLE LOOKED NASTY AS HELL!

Gavin Kirkland: YOU THINK THAT WAS TROUBLE? BETTER MAKE IT DOUBLE BECAUSE AS KELTON ROLLS BACK FROM THE FORCE OF THE GERMAN, HARPER JUMPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND THEN HITS HIM DOWN HARD ONTO THE RINGSIDE MAT WITH A REVERSE HURRICANRANA!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Eve: Well, it did not take that long for the crowd to turn nuclear! Despite the hot start, Bronson and Kelton completely got shut down by both Harper and Donovan!

Deadprez: Jeez, they are giving each other high fives from that one! Bunch of cornballs, goddamn.

Gavin Kirkland: Okay, so after RUDELY throwing another competitor onto me, Donovan goes to grab Bronson Daniels from behind the commentator’s table while Harper starts getting the steel steps in her possession!

Eve: Remembering as well for people curious at home and watching, due to the scramble match also having fatal four way properties, there will also be no disqualifications!

Deadprez: Harper Lee being very excited for those rules to the point she is not thinking very well because I am pretty confident she can’t lift her own weight, less those steel steps!

Gavin Kirkland: Alright, there is no need for that kind of thing now! She is picking them up well so far… even though they are kind of wobbling here and there, but she has it!

Eve: And she is lining it up… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND THEN HITTING BRONSON DANIELS RIGHT ACROSS HIS SIDE WITH THEM BEFORE THROWING THEM TO THE GROUND! Not a good thing to experience, that is for sure.

Deadprez: Meanwhile, Donovan is able to finally throw Bronson back inside of the ring, Bronson tries to get up while Donovan gets up to the ring apron and goes through the ropes-

Eve: **MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF!!!**

Gavin Kirkland: WHAAAATTTTTT???

Deadprez: BRONSON HITS THE SWINGING ELBOW OUT OF NOWHERE AND DONOVAN DROPS HARD ONTO THE MAT, BRONSON COVERS!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 1**)

(**Current Title Holder: Bronson Daniels**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….. BRONSON DANIELS!

Deadprez: BRONSON USED HIS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TO BE ABLE TO HIT ONE OF HIS STRONGEST MOVES WHILE DONOVAN HAD HIS GUARD DOWN! AND NOW HE WON THE TITLE BACK THAT HE LOST ALL THOSE MONTHS AGO!

Gavin Kirkland: Ehem, unofficially! It won’t count until the time limit runs out… whenever that happens!

Eve: HARPER LEE IS IN COMPLETE SHOCK AT WHAT SHE JUST ENDED UP SEEING, AND KNOWS SHE CAN’T LET BRONSON HAVE THE LEAD!

Deadprez: Harper Lee ends up leaving Jon Kelton all by himself on the ground and then she goes to enter the ring!

Eve: Harper Lee is relentless! She is not even letting Bronson Daniels have a single moment to celebrate or breathe! She immediately goes into a full on stomping assault, absolutely walloping Bronson down onto the ground while Donovan is still trying his best to recover from that swinging elbow that was hit right across his face!

Deadprez: That elbow can knock out even the best of wrestlers, but considering Donovan still has plenty of energy and the match just started, he is still kicking! But Bronson has to find himself a way out of the predicament that he is in right now!

Gavin Kirkland: Bronson Daniels is not letting Harper Lee push him around though, as he finally gets up to his feet and then hits a back elbow right against her face! Twirling over and then trying to go for a Discus Forearm Smash!

Eve: Harper Lee successfully ducks down the Forearm Smash, this time swinging around, and then trying to hit Bronson right across the face with her own Spinning Back Fist!

Gavin Kirkland: B-B-B-BLOCKED, BABY!

Deadprez: That’s what the women who see you on Instagram say when they get an unsolicited DM from you.

Gavin Kirkland: Alright, you are not catching me everyday saying this, but that was a lowkey good one, screw you though, genuinely.

Deadprez: :mjgrin:

Eve: BRONSON IS ABLE TO RAISE HIS ARMS AND THEN BLOCK THE SPINNING BACKFIST, RAISING HIS LEG AND THEN PUSHING HARPER LEE AWAY FROM HIM WITH IT BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND THEN HITTING HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH A PUMP KICK!

Eve: HARPER IS LOOPY AFTER THAT ONE AND BRONSON CLOSES THE DISTANCE, GRABBING ONTO HER AND THEN MOVING TOWARDS THE HOPES, GOING TO THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE ONCE MORE!

Deadprez: Bronson using the chance that he has the lead now to hopefully try and get everyone else away from him, but Harper Lee might as well be a cockroach in the form of a human, because she is able to grab onto the ropes at the last second and then hold on! Bronson thinks he has her out while Harper is just patiently waiting for her time!

Eve: AND JUST AS BRONSON TURNS AROUND, HARPER SHOOTS HERSELF AND THEN HITS HIM DOWN WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR! HARPER MOVES AND COVERS TO TRY AND GET THE LEAD IN HER FAVOR!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Deadprez: That is not enough to give her the three count that she needs, and Harper looks INCREDIBLY stressed! For all we know, the match just might as well be close to finishing!

Eve: That is why Harper grabs onto Bronson Daniels and then forces him to face onto the mat, she goes to grab onto her arms and then she lifts her leg- GOING FOR THE “SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!”

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON IS STILL KICKING THOUGH! HE ROLLS FORWARD ACROSS THE MAT AND GETS UP TO HIS FEET LIKE IT IS NOTHING, GRABBING ONTO HARPER AND THEN PULLING HER IN TOWARDS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Deadprez: HARPER ENDS UP DUCKING DOWN THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK, PUSHING BRONSON AWAY FROM HER-

Gavin Kirkland: STRAIGHT INTO A KICK FROM A RETURNING DONOVAN DUKE! “RUIN AND DEMISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

Eve: DONOVAN POPPED UP ONCE MORE ONCE HE GOT HIS ENERGY BACK AND THEN DRILLED BRONSON’S HEAD ONTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! THERE GOES THE COVER!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 2**)

(**Current Title Holder: Donovan Duke**)

Gina Romano: AND NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….. DONOVAN DUKE!!!

Deadprez: AND JUST AS BRONSON WON IT, HE LOST IT AS WELL! DONOVAN IS YET AGAIN THE INTERIM CHAMPION! That synergy between Harper and Donovan works out in the favor of the two once more!

Eve: They are able to shut down Bronson yet again, and now that Donovan has the lead this time, they are going to do everything in their power that it only stays on either of the two!

Gavin Kirkland: And as soon as Donovan rolls off of Bronson… THE TWO START TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM REPEATEDLY! AS A SHAMELESS MAN MYSELF, THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF SHAME FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT LEAST!

Deadprez: Beating a guy while he is down is not the same as trying to flirt with a random woman in the street you are going down on just so she can pay for your food but this is indeed somewhat shameful!

Gavin Kirkland: Now you are just throwing allegations on my name!

Eve: Finally, Donovan grabs Bronson by his arms and then lines him up for Harper, as she is pulling her arm back, as she is going to prepare for the “Dragon Fist”! Bronson needs to think fast!

Deadprez: THE STEEL STEPS FROM OUTSIDE JUST FLEW INSIDE INTO THE RING, WHAT THE HELL?!

Eve: JON KELTON FINALLY GOT UP AND THEN THREW THE STEPS INSIDE TO CAUSE A DISTRACTION! HARPER AND DONOVAN END UP LETTING GO OF BRONSON AS KELTON IS ABLE TO SLIDE INSIDE AND THEN MAKE THE QUICK SAVE FOR HIS PARTNER!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN ENDS UP GRABBING ONTO BRONSON AND THEN THROWING HIM OUT OF THE RING THOUGH! FORCING KELTON TO GO INTO A 2 VS 1 HERE TO TRY AND MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN!

Deadprez: JON KELTON IS NOT DETERRED AT ALL! AS DONOVAN AND HARPER GO FOR A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE, KELTON IS ABLE TO DUCK DOWN AND THEN RUN TOWARDS THE ROPES, JUMPING ONTO THEM… AND THEN JUMPING OFF FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE!

Eve: DONOVAN IS ABLE TO SIDESTEP TO THE SIDE BUT KELTON SUCCESSFULLY HITS HARPER ON THE HEAD AND HARPER FALLS HARD AGAINST THE MAT!

Deadprez: DONOVAN DUKE RUNS TOWARDS KELTON WHILE HE HAS HIS BACK TURNED, GOING FOR A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON ENDS UP STOMPING DOWN HARD ONTO DONOVAN’S FOOT THOUGH, DONOVAN BEING FORCED TO LET GO AND THAT GIVING KELTON THE CHANCE TO TURN AROUND AND THEN GRAB ONTO HIS HEAD!

Eve: KELTON IS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY HIT A SNAP SUPLEX WITH THAT ONE, BUT HE IS NOT DONE YET THOUGH! HE HOLDS ONTO DONOVAN’S HEAD AND THEN RISES UP WITH HIM, BEFORE QUICKLY TURNING HIM AROUND IN HIS GRASP!

Deadprez: AND THEN FLOORING HIM DOWN WITH A ROLLING CUTTER! INNOVATIVE MOVE BY KELTON HERE AS HE MOVES QUICKLY AND THEN GOES TO PIN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: A good combo to take the champion off his guard but not good enough to end up getting the three count! Kelton doesn’t seem to be the best person here to take the sudden turn of the match, he looks nervous and desperate in a way.

Gavin Kirkland: Aaaahhh… I understand what Jon Kelton is currently feeling himself, young me had to go through a lot of that during my youth in my adventure for THE woman-

Deadprez: Kelton is not out yet though, grabbing onto Donovan Duke and then throwing him towards the corner! Jon Kelton backs away to the other corner in front of the champion and then he takes a deep breath, before running forward!

Eve: “LONELY STAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!”

Gavin Kirkland: Bro.

Deadprez: HARPER SUDDENLY POPPED UP TO HER FEET AND THEN KNEED JON KELTON RIGHT ACROSS THE HEAD! YET AGAIN SHE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SHE ROLLS HIM OVER AND THEN QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 3**)

(**Current Title Holder: Harper Lee**)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… HARPER LEE!!!

Eve: ONE MOVE IS ALL IT TAKES FOR THE TIDES OF THE MATCH TO TURN JUST LIKE THAT! NOW HARPER IS THE CURRENT INTERIM CHAMPION, SO FAR, EVERY SINGLE WRESTLER IN THE MATCH HAS HELD THAT SPOT!

Gavin Kirkland: …except Kelton :mjlol:

(The crowd reacts in a very negative manner, Silas Mason clapping in support of both of his clients while Milli is looking worried for both Kelton and Bronson.)

Deadprez: Harper is celebrating and laughing to the high heavens like she just won the world championship, but let’s be honest, I think she is just more happy about the fact that she yet again ended up foiling Kelton’s chances at getting any kind of opportunity of getting a world championship!

Eve: And of course, she is using the chance she has to mock Jon Kelton while he is down, pushing his head onto the ground and stomping down over on his back, at one point, you have to figure out if there is something wrong with her!

Deadprez: Hell, you might as well say that with those two, Donovan is simply smiling seeing Harper do that kind of thing to Jon Kelton! Someone gotta go and give that man a lifeboat!

Gavin Kirkland: AND HERE COMES A LIFEBOAT WITH LEGS AND ARMS! AS BRONSON FINALLY IS BACK UP AND THEN ENDS UP SLIDING BACK INSIDE OF THE RING!

Eve: STRAIGHT INTO A STOMP DIRECTLY ONTO THE MAT BY DONOVAN DUKE!

Gavin Kirkland: Nevermind, I never said anything.

Deadprez: Donovan rolls Bronson to his back, mounting over and then now delivering precise and full blown strikes onto Bronson’s head! Even though they are calculated, there is a lot of pent up frustration and anger in each one, Donovan making sure that every bit of Donovan’s emotions can be felt!

Eve: All while Harper focuses yet again on Jon Kelton all by herself- And oh for the love of god- She ends up locking in an ankle lock on Kelton! She is once again focusing on his left leg from their previous match, I am not even sure what she is trying to accomplish with that kind of thing, she currently has the lead! She doesn’t have to pin or submit someone yet again!

Deadprez: No matter what happens to Harper Lee in her life, she is always going to show something in every single way, pride, she rules by it, she is obsessed by it, and despite all of her accomplishments, every single success that she has over Kelton’s head, she wants to personally see him give up by her own hand!

Gavin Kirkland: Ah, Harper Lee, it seems I have grown quite fond of you by this point of my career, though there are no sexual urges or desires, you come to me as a long lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa’s orchard.

Eve: ???????????????????

Gavin Kirkland: I finally understand my relationship with Harper Lee!

Deadprez: Yo bro, can we please focus on the match?

Gavin Kirkland: Alright, well, the best that I can say is that Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels are not having fun at all!

Eve: BUT DESPITE HARPER’S BEST ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND TWIST KELTON’S LEGS AROUND, KELTON IS NOT GOING TO GIVE THE SATISFACTION OF TAPPING OUT TO HARPER LEE! HARPER’S EXPRESSION BY THIS POINT HAS TURNED PURELY PSYCHOTIC!

Deadprez: DESPITE DONOVAN NOT HOLDING BACK WITH HIS PUNCHES AND CONTINUING TO HURT BRONSON, HE IS PUSHING THROUGH THE PAIN AND IGNORING DONOVAN, TRYING TO REACH FORWARD AND HELP HIS PARTNER NO MATTER WHAT!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN’S PUNCHES QUICKLY TURN INTO ELBOW STRIKES AND THEY ARE ZEROING IN ON BRONSON! OVER AND OVER! TRYING TO MAKE BRONSON BLEED BY THIS POINT-

Eve: BRONSON PUSHES DONOVAN’S HAND TO THE SIDE AND THEN HEADBUTTS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! DONOVAN WOBBLES BACK, AND THEN BRONSON PUSHES HIM AWAY, TURNING OVER AND THEN RUNNING TOWARDS HARPER!

Deadprez: BRONSON LEAPS TOWARDS HARPER LEE!

Eve: AND ALL THAT HARD WORK IS COMPLETELY STOPPED BY DONOVAN GRABBING ONTO BRONSON’S FOOT AT THE END! HE PULLS HIM BACK AND THEN GETS ON TOP OF HIM, SUDDENLY LOCKING IN A CROSSFACE ON BRONSON!

Deadprez: HARPER LEE LETS GO OF KELTON’S LEG AND THEN GETS ON TOP OF HIM, GRABBING ONTO HIS FACE AND THEN LOCKING IN THE “JOURNEY’S END!” BOTH OF ELYSIUM ARE STUCK IN SUBMISSIONS AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO! NO ROPE BREAKS, NO NOTHING! ARE THEY GOING TO TAP OUT?!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON IS GRITTING HIS TEETH IN PAIN, MEMORIES OF THE CHAMBER FLOODING BACK TO HIM, BUT THIS TIME BRONSON IS ON THE SAME SITUATION THAT HE IS, THEY HAVE TO GET OUT OF IT SOMEHOW!

Eve: BUT DESPITE BRONSON BEING STUCK LIKE THIS, HE IS STILL SOMEHOW PULLING HIMSELF FORWARD AND CRAWLING TOWARDS HIS PARTNER, TRYING TO GRAB ONTO HIS HAND IN SOME WAY!

Deadprez: HARPER CONTINUES PULLING BACK ON KELTON’S ARM AND DONOVAN PULLS ON BRONSON’S HEAD, LOOKING TO BRING THEM TO THEIR ABSOLUTE LIMIT, BUT KELTON WITH HIS FREE ARM… HE REACHES OUT AS WELL!

Eve: AND THEY GRAB ONTO EACH OTHER!

Gavin Kirkland: …Okay, what did that accomplish?

Eve: Well, it is a pretty cute sight!

Deadprez: WAIT, KELTON USES THE LEVERAGE TO PUSH BRONSON BACK, BRONSON SUDDENLY REVERSES THE CROSSFACE INTO A PACKAGE PIN!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: DONOVAN KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND! DONOVAN SCURRIES UP TO HIS FEET AS FAST AS HE CAN!

Deadprez: STRAIGHT INTO THE “CHROME HEARTS!!!” BRONSON KICKS THE HELL OUT OF DONOVAN’S HEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER’S EYES WIDEN AS SHE SEES THIS AND SHE ENDS UP LETTING GO, KNOWING SHE CAN’T LET BRONSON GET THE LEAD AGAIN AS SHE RUNS STRAIGHT AT-

Eve: A “BATMAN PUUUUUUUNCHHHHHH!!!”

Deadprez: HARPER IS WOBBLY ON HER LEGS FROM THAT ONE BEFORE BRONSON GRABS ONTO HER AND THEN PULLS HER TOWARDS HIM, AS HE JUMPS UP AND THEN SUDDENLY WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND HIM… BRONSON GOT THAT REAR NAKED CHOKE LOCKED IN TIGHT!

Eve: Bronson now giving Harper some of her own medicine and using some of his MMA background to try and weaken down Harper Lee! Harper Lee is panicking as Bronson is tightening in that hold around her head!

Gavin Kirkland: If Bronson and Kelton ended up fighting so hard to try and get out of that, I am sure Harper will end up doing the same-

(TAP! TAP! TAP!)

Gavin Kirkland: …

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 4**)

(**Current Title Holder: Bronson Daniels**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… BRONSON DANIELS!!!

Deadprez: You were saying?

Eve: I know we love to dunk on Gavin a lot but obviously, we have seen this already from Harper herself years ago when she fought Kassidy Heart! She tapped out almost immediately to not get anything broken by her, and now she is employing the same tactic here to not waste her energy and let Bronson wear her down!

Gavin Kirkland: You took the words right out of my mouth, Eve, thank you!

Deadprez: Well, call it tactic all you want, it seems that it is efficient in some way possible! Bronson looks more pissed off than anything, as he lets go of the hold and then goes to grab onto Harper, looking to throw her out of the ring once more!

Eve: And… sigh, she ends up holding onto the ropes for a second time! Yet again, how does she keep surviving this much?

Gavin Kirkland: Determination, Eve, determination.

Deadprez: Determination to try and ruin another person’s hopes and dreams, that is what it is!

Eve: Bronson tries to grab onto Donovan’s head and then go to throw him out as well, but before he can make any of that happen- DONOVAN HEADBUTTS HIM BACK! Bronson is taken aback by the sudden attack and then he gets pushed towards the ropes!

Deadprez: Where Harper Lee jumps up and then hits an enzuigiri right on the back of Bronson’s head! The momentum of it brings Bronson towards Donovan again, as he pops Bronson up to his shoulders… AND THEN HITS HIM DOWN WITH A POP UP POWERBOMB! They are piecing up Bronson here and turning him into mince meat!

Eve: And now with Bronson on the ground, Harper spreads her arms and taunts the crowd, yet again taunting her unjustifiable superiority… BEFORE JUMPING OVER THE ROPES AND THEN TRYING TO GO FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON FINALLY POPS UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN DUMPS HARPER RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE! KELTON THEN TURNS OVER AND THEN HE TACKLES DONOVAN DOWN TO THE GROUND, THROWING GROUNDED STRIKES ONTO HIM AND TAKING THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION DOWN ONCE MORE!

Eve: BRONSON IS STARTING TO GET TO HIS FEET AND THEN GO BACK TO CONSCIOUSNESS BUT HE NEEDS TO HURRY UP BEFORE DONOVAN CAN GET THE BALANCE OF THE MATCH BACK ON HIM!

Deadprez: Hell, he is already trying to do that, he is trying to grab onto Kelton’s head and then get another submission in on him and wear him down yet again, what kind of machine are they trying to fight against here?!

Eve: BUT KELTON IS ABLE TO DELIVER A RIGHT PLACED ELBOW RIGHT ON DONOVAN’S HEAD AND DONOVAN LETS GO OF THE HOLD, AS KELTON GRABS ONTO HIS ARMS AND THEN PULLS HIM UP-

Gavin Kirkland: STRAIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK BY BRONSON! ELYSIUM FINALLY GOT IT!

Deadprez: AND NOW THEY ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF DONOVAN DUKE! STOMPING REPEATEDLY AS THE CROWD CHEERS IN EXCITEMENT HOPING FOR THE DEMISE OF THAT BACKSTABBER!

Eve: BRONSON AND KELTON BEAT HIM DOWN TO THE POINT DONOVAN IS ON THE GROUND, AND NOW THEY BACK AWAY TOWARDS THE ROPES, PREPARING AND THEN WAITING TO HIT HIM WITH SOMETHING HE WON’T FORGET!

Deadprez: DONOVAN STUMBLES UPWARDS… AND THEY GO!

Eve: “FINAL ATONEMENT!!!”

Deadprez: “MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!”

Gavin Kirkland: NO! HARPER ENTERS THE RING AGAIN, GRABBING ONTO DONOVAN AND THEN PULLS HIM OUT OF THE WAY, BOTH BRONSON AND KELTON HIT NOTHING AND THEY BOUNCE AGAINST THE ROPES UNCONTROLLABLY!

Eve: DONOVAN GRABS ONTO KELTON AS HE GOES BACK AND THEN HITS A GIGANTIC NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ON HIM!

Deadprez: WHILE HARPER RUSHES AT BRONSON AND THEN HITS HIM RIGHT ON THE FACE WITH THE “DRAGON FIST”-

Eve: “BATMAN PUUUUUUUUUUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON AND HARPER’S PUNCHES COLLIDE AGAINST EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME! THE FORCE OF THE SUPERMAN PUNCH SENDS HARPER BACKWARDS AND THEN SHE FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES YET AGAIN! WHILE BRONSON IS STILL TRYING HIS BEST TO STAY UP ON HIS FEET DESPITE THE PAIN!

Deadprez: “FORCE OF WILL!”

Eve: THE SPINNING BACKFIST FROM DONOVAN DUKE COLLIDES AGAINST THE WEAKENED BRONSON AND THEN DONOVAN ROLLS HIM UP INTO A PIN!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: THAT DAMN WEASEL PUTS HIS FEET ON THE ROPES!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 5**)

(**Current Title Holder: Donovan Duke**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… DONOVAN DUKE!!!

Eve: AND THEN DONOVAN ENDS UP ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AS WELL! And the worst part of it all is that kind of tactic is completely legal here! Yet again, Donovan and Harper steal the lead by hook and crook!

(And yet again, another was taken away just like that. Bronson is trying his best to sit up, tired and dazed after all of this non-stop back and forth. He sees Donovan now backing away as far as he can… up the ramp?)

Eve: What the hell?! What is he doing?

Deadprez: Donovan… is just walking away! He… He knows he has the lead and he is trying to get his distance away from Bronson and Kelton so they can not pin him! How much of a bastard can you be?

Gavin Kirkland: And he knows as well that Bronson and Kelton won’t go for each other! The match I think has gone on long enough, maybe the time limit is close to ending!

(Bronson can only watch with absolute frustration seeing Donovan walk away like a coward, as Kelton slowly sits down next to him and then looks forward as well towards the ramp, his expression completely serious as he tries to think of what to do. Kelton turns towards the titantron to see the mysterious time limit…)

(This will hurt him, but he has to do it.)

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!

Eve: KELTON GRABS ONTO THE WEAKENED BRONSON AND THEN SUDDENLY PULLS HIM INTO A ROLL-UP!!!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

(…)

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 6**)

(**Current Title Holder: Jon Kelton**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… JON KELTON!!!!

(The crowd suddenly befalls into pure silence after what they saw, Kelton quickly rolls off of Bronson and sits there with a very frustrated and angry look on his face, angry at himself that he actually ended up doing that kind of thing.)

(Bronson meanwhile sat there in pure shock, slowly looking towards his partner and truly wondering why he did that, his shock starting to slowly dissipate and turn into just… dissapointment.)

(Even Donovan Duke stands there in shock at what he ended up seeing, not expecting that at all.)

Eve: Why… Why did Jon Kelton do that?!

Gavin Kirkland: Eve, there is a fricking mysterious time limit clock that we don’t know at what point it will end and the guy with the lead was running away, I think there is a good case to end up saying why he did it!

Deadprez: Man, there could have been another way to solve this!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh my god, I am actually the voice of reason for once… feels weird.

(Bronson stares towards Kelton, trying to say something but words don’t come out. Kelton rushes towards his side and then responds quickly.)

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) Bronson, I had to do it, there was a chance he was going to end up robbing the championship yet again and I couldn’t let it happen…

(Bronson turns away and then looks towards the titantron.)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

(The match wasn’t even finished yet.)

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) Bronson, I-

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Whatever, it is fine.

(Bronson turns over to ringside, seeing that Harper is trying the same tactic as well of escaping, although weakly due to her still trying to shake off the pain. Bronson simply turns his back on Kelton and then rolls out of the ring. Milli tries to walk over and then talk to her but he says a few words and then just goes to focus on Harper.)

Eve: What… What will that kind of thing end up resulting in for the rest of the match?

Gavin Kirkland: Well, personally, I am somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to figuring out the tea, if you will, so this match needed some drama to wake it up!

Deadprez: Man, to hell with the drama if there is a chance that the world championship can fall in the wrong hands! They need to keep their damn minds inside of their head and figure something out!

(Kelton simply looks at ringside, trying to say something else but forcing to keep it to himself, frustrated wasn’t even the word, it was just… emptiness for a few seconds. He hated having to feel that again. But as he goes to look at his surroundings once more…)

(Donovan was not there on the ramp.)

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE SNEAKED BEHIND WHILE THE TWO WEREN’T LOOKING AND THEN HE ENTERS THROUGH AT FAST SPEEDS, LARIATING THE HELL OUT OF KELTON’S HEAD!

Eve: OH COME ON!

Deadprez: DONOVAN GRABS ONTO KELTON WHILE HIS GUARD IS LOWERED DOWN AND THEN HE STARTS LIGHTING HIM UP! THE “FORCE OF WILL” STRAIGHT TO THE JAW!

Eve: A SECOND “FORCE OF WILL” FOLLOWING IT!

Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN A THIRD ONE THAT SMACKS THE SENSE OUT OF KELTON AND FORCES HIM AGAINST THE CORNER! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION GRABBING ONTO HIS WAIST AND THEN ROLLING THROUGH!

Deadprez: BEFORE HITTING THE DAMN CHAOS THEORY!!! THE ROLL THROUGH GERMAN SUPLEX SLAMS KELTON HARD AGAINST THE MAT AND THE REFEREE COVERS!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 7**)

(**Current Title Holder: Donovan Duke**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… DONOVAN DUKE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: All I have to say… lmao.

(That kind of move just for the lead to be taken back like that in just a few minutes. Kelton lays there in the ground yet again in pain, physically and emotionally, as Donovan stands over him with an emotionless expression on his face.)

(He turns slowly towards ringside as well, seeing Bronson beating up and weakening Harper further and then he gets an idea.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) BRONSON DANIELS!

(Bronson suddenly stops on his tracks.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) I saw what happened just now, don’t you think that’s pathetic? Don’t you think that is cowardice? From your own partner? From the person that was going to be there with you every step of the way?

(Donovan grabs onto Kelton and then pulls him up to his knees.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) At least with everything that I have done to you, I at least was upfront about it, no matter how less you thought of me, while what Kelton did to you… by this point, you can’t even trust the people that you appreciate the most.

(Bronson keeps his back turned with his head down.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) I am going to give you a fair fight in exchange that you… get a free shot at the guy that you call a “friend” here. All right here for you to take to your heart’s desire. It is in the House!

(Bronson does not move an inch… before he turns his back around and then enters the ring.)

Eve: No way…

Gavin Kirkland: OOOOH, IT’S GETTING EXCITING NOW!

Deadprez: Bronson, don’t take that goddamn decision!

(Some of the crowd is booing in response and trying to shout at Bronson to not do it, but he is already taking the corner and preparing, as he turns and grabs onto the ropes while Donovan pulls the weakened Kelton up to his feet to give Bronson the shot.)

Deadprez: This is absolutely despicable! Bronson, don’t you dare!

Eve: Bronson!

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON STARTS FLIPPING BACKWARDS… AND THEN GOES TO HIT THE “CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND!!!!”

(…)

(…)

Eve: ONTO DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!!

(Donovan falls hard against the mat, holding into his jaw yet again in pure shock at what just happened, the crowd erupting into cheers as Bronson stands tall and then glances at Kelton. The two glance at each other for a few seconds… before nodding.)

Deadprez: ELYSIUM PULL THROUGH YET AGAIN!

Eve: DONOVAN ONCE AGAIN SCURRIES AWAY OUT OF THE RING, RUSHING AS BEST AS HE CAN WHILE HOLDING ONTO HIS JAW IN PAIN, TRYING TO GO AND CLIMB THE BARRICADE!

Deadprez: “FINAL ATONEMEEENTTTTT!!!”

Eve: JON KELTON SPEARS DONOVAN DUKE RIGHT THROUGH THE BARRICADE AND THE CROWD ERUPTS!

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON MEANWHILE IS PULLING THE PRECIOUSLY EVIL HARPER LEE TOWARDS OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! HE GOES TO LIFT HER UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! NOT AGAIN!

Eve: HARPER TRIES HER BEST TO FIGHT BACK BUT BRONSON PUSHES THROUGH AND THEN POWERBOMBS THROUGH HER TABLE!

Gavin Kirkland: But our table doesn’t break! Phew! Don’t want that to happen!

Deadprez: BRONSON IS STARTING TO CLIMB THE RING AND THEN GET UP TO THE TOP OF ONE OF THE CORNERS!

Gavin Kirkland: OH COME ON!

Eve: BRONSON GETS TO THE TOP AND THEN LOOKS TOWARDS THE CROWD OF THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS… BEFORE HE JUMPS OFF!

Deadprez: THE DIVING FROG SPLASH RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! THAT’S WHAT WE TALKING ABOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT!!!

(Bronson rolls out of the mess of the announcer’s table, Kelton moving slowly as well after pulling that off and then the two friends sit down right next to each other, in pain but somewhat smiling.)

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) I… I am sorry for doing that. I panicked and I didn’t know what to do.

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) The only apology that I want… is that you give me a fair fight. No bullshit, alright?

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) …Alright.

(Kelton and Bronson fist bump each other and then help each other up, Bronson flips the bird to Silas on the way to the ring and somehow, Milli is screaming louder than the whole crowd combined after seeing that.)

Eve: Elysium were able to get Harper and Donovan out of the equation and now, they finally have the ring all to themselves!

Deadprez: Jon Kelton is taking one of the corners and then Bronson Daniels is taking the other, both men getting themselves ready and prepared for a duel…

Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN THEY ARE OFF!

Eve: Jon Kelton tries to move quickly and then get the first hit in, jumping in for a running dropkick! Bronson is able to push his feet down and then roll over, trying to get a headlock in, but Kelton is able to push him back and get back up to his feet once more!

Deadprez: Kelton and Bronson beat each other to the punch, throwing strikes and punches at each other but being unsuccessful as they are able to read each other and block their attempts!

Eve: Bronson tries to swipe at Kelton’s feet! It is unsuccessful as Kelton jumps over in time and avoids it, landing and then trying to go for a knee strike on Bronson’s gut!

Gavin Kirkland: Bronson blocks it and then hits an Uppercut! Followed up by a kick of the gut… AND THEN BRONSON TRIES TO GO FOR A SUNSET FLIP!

Eve: That is unsuccessful! Bronson doesn’t flip Kelton over and then Kelton sits down, trying to reverse it!

Deadprez: But Bronson scouts that out and then pulls forward instead with Kelton getting closer, fully getting the Sunset Flip roll up!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: Kelton kicks out right before the three and then scurries up, moving and then trying to go for a kick right across Bronson’s chest!

Deadprez: Bronson ducks down the kick and then grabs Kelton, pulling him down for a quick roll up! But he lets go and then runs again, trying to go for a superkick!

Eve: Kelton catches it! He swings his leg to the side and then grabs onto Bronson’s shoulders, going for a backslide pin!

Gavin Kirkland: Bronson flips over though as Kelton brings him forward and then tries to trap his shoulders, going for another pin!

Eve: Kelton leans forward and uses his center of balance to not let Bronson bring him down, as he pushes him and then flips him forward… BEFORE KICKING HIM IN THE GUT AND THEN TRYING TO GO FOR THE DDT! “CHANGE THE FUTURE!”

Deadprez: Kelton does not lock in the arms tight enough! Yet again Bronson moves and escapes out of the hold, flipping over and then going for a pele kick straight towards Kelton’s head!

Eve: Kelton is able to catch Bronson’s leg in time, as he pulls him back in and then gets him into a wheelbarrow position!

Deadprez: Bronson gets out of it in time and grabs onto Kelton’s arm instead, irish whipping him towards the ropes as Kelton bounces off them and-

Eve: “MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!”

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON DUCKS UNDER IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND THEN GRABS ONTO BRONSON, PULLING HIM IN FOR A SUDDEN PACKAGE ROLL-UP!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: BRONSON KICKS OUT IN TIME AND NOW THE TWO MEN YET AGAIN GO TO A STANDSTILL AS THEY RISE UP TO THEIR FEET AND GO FOR IT!

Deadprez: “MICKEY-”

Gavin Kirkland: THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEEEEEEEEENNNTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!”

Eve: KELTON USED BRONSON’S MOMENTUM AGAINST HIM! AS HE JUMPED UP AND WENT HIGH, KELTON WAS FAST ENOUGH TO GO LOW AND HIT HIS SPEAR! KELTON FALLS DOWN FOR THE COVER!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 8**)

(**Current Title Holder: Jon Kelton**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… JON KELTON!!!!

Eve: KELTON GOT THE LEAD BACK! AND HE DID IT BY ACTUALLY EARNING IT THIS TIME!

Deadprez: Another short but heart-pumping duel by rivals and friends, and this time, Kelton was able to come out on top and get another one over Bronson Daniels!

Gavin Kirkland: …Oh! Welp, fun’s over.

Eve: WHAT?! HARPER COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND THEN GRABS ONTO KELTON, THROWING HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE RING!

Deadprez: SHE DROPS DOWN AND ENDS UP PINNING BRONSON AFTER THAT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 9**)

(**Current Title Holder: Harper Lee**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… HARPER LEE!!!!

Eve: THEY JUST KEEP PULLING HIGH ROBBERY AFTER HIGH ROBBERY! When will they end up getting their rightful comeuppance!

Gavin Kirkland: Man the only girl in that group is Harper, I don’t want no bald man taking up the screen time!

Deadprez: Please tell me the match just didn’t end like that! Check the time limit!

(…)

(…)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

Deadprez: Phew, thank god.

(Harper notices as well, her cheerful demeanor disappearing as she notices as well the time limit still going in the titantron. Donovan slowly enters, mostly recovered after that spear and then looks towards the titantron as well, his expression breaking a bit of nervousness on it.)

Deadprez: Now this heartless man comes through the ropes and enters the ring, clapping in response towards Harper being able to get the pin over on Bronson like that!

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, not gonna lie, they kinda wasted their energy doing that whole duel, kinda their fault.

(Harper turns and then smiles towards her partner in crime, as Harper tries to move quickly and convince Donovan to beat Bronson and Kelton up a little more. Donovan simply nods in response and is willing to do it.)

(But just as Harper turns around, Donovan yet again nervously glances towards the clock and…)

Eve: DONOVAN GRABS ONTO HARPER AND THEN PULLS HER INTO A SUDDEN ROLL-UP!

Deadprez: HUH?!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! HARPER ACTUALLY KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, AND SHE TURNS TOWARDS DONOVAN IN PURE CONFUSION!

(Harper sits there, confused and shocked at what Donovan tried to pull all while Donovan gets up and has a confident smile on his face, a relaxed one as he pulls up his hands in peace.)

Harper Lee: (off-mic) …what?

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Come on. You told me you would backstab me in this match if it was truly necessary, I am just playing fair!

(Donovan was right in his words, but for some reason, Harper was… actually upset. Yeah, she said all of that, although, that interaction with Donovan, actually being able to trust and spend that time with him… why the fuck was she actually angry?!)

Deadprez: WAIT! HARPER GETS UP AND THEN SHE PUSHES DONOVAN BACK!

Eve: Donovan is taking off guard by this! BUT HE PUSHES HER AS WELL!

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) What the hell is your problem, Harper?! Are you really that surprised?

Harper Lee: (off-mic) No! I just… I didn’t think you would actually do that so soon, you damn… idiot!

Gavin Kirkland: Silas is actually trying to talk to them at ringside, raising his voice and trying to get them back in the game!

Eve: But the two of them are not listening to him at all, their voices rise up in anger!

Deadprez: AND FINALLY, HARPER THROWS THE FIRST PUNCH, AND THE TWO OF THEM GO INTO A FULL-ON BRAWL! HARPER AND DONOVAN ARE IMPLODING RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND THEY ARE NOT HOLDING BACK!

Eve: HARPER THOUGH IS ABLE TO GET THE UPPER HAND, KNEEING DONOVAN RIGHT IN THE GUT AND THEN CLOTHESLINING HIM RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE AS NOW HARPER STANDS TALL IN THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland: She is yelling uh… loud obscenities down at Donovan! And then she turns around to go for-

Eve: BRONSON WAS PLAYING POSSUM! HE POPS UP AND GRABS ONTO HARPER, PULLING HER INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 10**)

(**Current Title Holder: Bronson Daniels**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… BRONSON DANIELS!!!

Deadprez: BRONSON’S GOT IT! BRONSON GOT THE LEAD AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: CHECK THE TIME LIMIT! CHECK IT!

(…)

(…)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

Gavin Kirkland: HOW MANY TITLE CHANGES DO WE HAVE TO HAVE IN THIS MATCH?!

Eve: I have no idea, but I think we have truly reached the point in a match people can feel it has gone on long enough! At least Kennedy didn’t pull a 10 minute match!

Deadprez: THAT DOESN’T MATTER THOUGH RIGHT NOW! BRONSON IS TRYING TO MOVE QUICKLY AND GRAB ONTO HARPER, GOING TO THROW HER OFF THE RING AND MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE LEAD ON HIMSELF!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER GRABS ONTO BRONSON AT THE LAST MOMENT THOUGH AND TURNS IT AROUND, THROWING HIM TOWARDS THE ROPES-

Eve: BRONSON GETS HIT IN THE FACE WITH SOMETHING! HUH???

Deadprez: SILAS MASON! SILAS REACHED OVER AND THEN HIT BRONSON RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH SOME BRASS KNUCKLES THAT HE WAS HIDING ON HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER GRABS ONTO BRONSON AND THEN PULLS HIM INTO A ROLL-UP HERSELF!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 11**)

(**Current Title Holder: Harper Lee**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… HARPER LEE!!!!!

Eve: DO THESE PEOPLE NOT HAVE A SOUL?!

Deadprez: If they have one, it must be one full of darkness! Harper is yet again celebrating and laughing to herself all while Silas claps and then cheers her on!

Gavin Kirkland: …time limit?

(…)

(…)

(**Time Limit: ???**)

Gavin Kirkland: THERE IS STILL A CHANCE!

Eve: HOW MUCH LONGER CAN BRONSON AND KELTON GO ON FOR?!

Deadprez: Well… HERE COMES THE CALVARY!

( ***SMACK!*** )

Eve: MILLI! SHE JUST WENT BEHIND SILAS MASON AND THEN SHE KICKED HIM RIGHT ON THE… Well…

Deadprez: SHE KICKED HIM RIGHT IN HIS BALLS! THAT’S RIGHT! SILAS IS IN PURE PAIN FROM THAT ONE BUT MILLI IS NOT DONE WITH HIM!

Eve: MILLI GRABS HIM AND THEN SHE STARTS SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE RING POST! SHE IS SLAMMING HIM RIGHT AGAINST THE BARRICADE!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS EVEN TAKING OFF HER HEELS AND THEN SHE IS THROWING THEM RIGHT AT HIS BALD HEAD! THAT’S MY SUPERNOVA! SHE GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND!

Eve: “THE BITCHMAKEEERRRRRRR!!!” SILAS GOES DOWN HARD WITH THAT SLAP AND THE CROWD IS ELECTRIC ONCE MORE IN SUPPORT AS MILLI STANDS TALL! SHE TURNS AROUND TO GO AND CHECK ON KELTON-

Deadprez: **MILLI GETS A STEEL CHAIR HIT RIGHT ACROSS HER FACE!!!**

Eve: HARPER! HARPER GRABBED A STEEL CHAIR FROM UNDER THE RING WHILE SHE WAS BUSY AND THEN SHE ATTACKED THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!

(Milli’s world is completely rocked, she falls hard against the ground and her vision is completely blurry. She is trying to crawl forward and find something to grab and use it to get up… but she only finds someone.)

(Donovan Duke.)

Deadprez: DONOVAN GRABS HARD ONTO MILLI’S HEAD AND THEN PULLS HER UP! DONOVAN DUKE, DON’T YOU DARE!

(Donovan looks down at the barely conscious Milli.. and his expression is full of cold rage.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) I am sorry… this won’t be quick.

Eve: OH MY GOD!

Gavin Kirkland: THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX ONTO THE STEEL RING POST! MILLI’S SPINE COLLIDED HARD AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST AND SHE LANDED HARD ON HER HEAD! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING MEDICAL OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!

Deadprez: THAT DAMN BASTARD DID THE SAME TO RYAN ALL THOSE WEEKS AGO, AND NOW HE DID IT TO MILLI AS WELL! DO YOU HAVE NO HEART ANYMORE, YOU SICK MINDED INDIVIDUAL?!

(The crowd is showering Donovan with gigantic boos now, his expression not showing a single bit of kindness towards Milli. As some of the medical staff rush down to go and check on her, Donovan turns slowly and walks towards Harper with a small smile on his face.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Good quick thinking with making them think we were fighting! They completely fell for the trap.

Harper Lee: (off-mic) …Uh… yeah! Of course, I am just a genius when it comes to that! Not quick enough to tell you but it happens! 😌

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Heh, it does. Well, let’s end this nonsense now.

(Harper nods back in response.)

(Bronson’s head slowly rises, a streak of blood flowing down it after getting hit right on the face with those brass knuckles. He turns his head slowly and his eyes widen, devastated seeing the sight outside. He tries to pull the steel steps in the ring out of the way to see better. He saw medicals trying to check on Milli to see if she was alright, Bronson could not believe it. That anguish, that frustration, everything that has been building up for months… it was starting to reach a boiling point.)

(Donovan and Harper hopped onto the ring apron, ready to finally end Bronson for good but they stop as they see Bronson rise up to his feet, his expression full of the most genuine rage you could see in a person. His eyes are like bonfires ready to burn everything down!)

(Donovan stares back in complete silence, before slowly and surely, grabbing onto the straps of his singlet and then pulling them down fiercely! Flexing his muscles and showing his strength!)

Crowd: ELYSIUM! ELYSIUM! ELYSIUM! ELYSIUM!

Eve: THE STAGE IS FINALLY BEING SET AS THE CROWD, AND MOST LIKELY THE WORLD, ARE SUPPORTING AND CHEERING BRONSON AND KELTON! THEY HAVE TO DO IT NOW… TO SAVE THE FUTURE OF SHOWDOWN!

(There is tension in the air, ego’s and championships at stake. Donovan stares Bronson down. Bronson stares Donovan down.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) No matter what…

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) THIS ENDS HERE!

Eve: DONOVAN IS THE ONE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP, RUSHING THROUGH THE ROPES AND THEN CLASHING AGAINST THE RAGEFUL BRONSON DANIELS! THEY TRADE STRIKES RIGHT AT EACH OTHER’S FACES, TRYING TO TAKE THE OTHER MAN DOWN AND SERIOUSLY HURT THEM!

Deadprez: BUT IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG BEFORE HARPER ENTERS THE RING AND JOINS THE FRAY HERSELF, SHE SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR AT BRONSON!

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON KICKS DONOVAN AWAY AND THEN SHE SLIDES UNDER THE SWING OF THE CHAIR! HE THEN TURNS ON HIS HEELS AND STARES AT THEM, NO WAY IS HE ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE ON A 2V1???

Eve: BRONSON IS NOT THINKING RIGHT NOW, HE IS JUST BELIEVING!

Deadprez: BRONSON MOVES AND THEN GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! BUT HE WHIFFS AND DONOVAN STEPS TO THE SIDE, GIVING HARPER THE CHANCE TO SWEEP IN FROM THE SIDE AND ATTACK!

Gavin Kirkland: IT WAS A FAINT! HE SWITCHES TO HIS OTHER FOOT AND THEN TURNS OVER, ROUNDHOUSE KICKING THE HELL OUT OF THE CHAIR AND TAKING IT OFF HARPER’S HANDS!

Eve: THAT GIVES DONOVAN THE CHANCE TO RUN AND HIT BRONSON RIGHT ON THE CHEST WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! HE GETS SENT!

Deadprez: BUT HE ROLLS BACKWARDS ON THE LANDING AND THEN HE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HARPER GOES AND THEN TRIES TO GO FOR A KNEE LIFT!

Eve: BRONSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND HARPER KNEES THE CORNER INSTEAD, AS BRONSON STEPS FORWARD JUST AS DONOVAN GOES FOR AN ATTACK HIMSELF AND THEN HE SUPERKICKS HIM RIGHT ON THE JAW!

Gavin Kirkland: HE GETS SMACKED RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY HARPER WITH THAT DISCUS LARIAT THOUGH!

Eve: HE RUNS ON PURE INSTINCT INSTEAD, LEANING FORWARD BUT THEN GOING BACK AND JUMPING, HITTING A PELE KICK RIGHT ACROSS HARPER’S FACE!

Deadprez: DONOVAN GOES BEHIND BRONSON THOUGH AND WITH HIS FREAKISH STRENGTH, HE PULLS HIM UP AND THEN GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!

Eve: BRONSON IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND LAND ON HIS FEET, RUNNING BACKWARDS YET AGAIN TOWARDS THE OTHER CORNER!

Gavin Kirkland: Bronson has been holding up his own the best as he can, but yet again, with this moments he is taking to breathe, this just gives Donovan and Harper the chance to re-group yet again! He needs a miracle!

Deadprez: Harper and Donovan go to surround Bronson on the corner, as they-

Eve: KELTON COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND THEN JUMPS THROUGH! HE HITS A GIGANTIC CROSSBODY ONTO DONOVAN AND HARPER AND TAKES THEM DOWN MOMENTARILY! THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO WIN THIS!

Deadprez: BRONSON RE-GROUPS WITH KELTON AND THEY HAVE THEIR TARGETS SET, THEY RUN FORWARD AND GO FOR A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ONTO HARPER AND DONOVAN!

Gavin Kirkland: THEY DUCK DOWN! BRONSON AND KELTON END UP BOUNCING AGAINST THE ROPES AND THEY GET GRABBED! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX FROM HARPER! ANOTHER GERMAN FROM DONOVAN!

Eve: NO! BRONSON AND KELTON ELBOW THEM IN SYNC AND THEN PUSH THEM AWAY! KELTON GOES TO LIFT DONOVAN FOR A SPINEBUSTER WHILE BRONSON GOES TO LIFT HARPER UP FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!

Deadprez: AND THE TWO ARE DENIED AS WELL AS HARPER POKES BRONSON’S EYE AND DONOVAN HEADBUTTS HARD DOWN ONTO KELTON! THEY EACH GRAB INTO THEIR OPPONENTS AND COLLIDE THEM HARD AGAINST ONE ANOTHER! BRONSON AND KELTON STUMBLE!

Eve: ALL WHILE HARPER RUNS OVER AND GRABS ONTO KELTON, KICKING HERSELF OFF OF BRONSON AND THEN HITTING DOWN AN IMPRESSIVE TORNADO DDT!

Deadprez: AND JUST AS SHE GETS UP SHE GETS HIT RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW WITH A PUMP KICK BY BRONSON!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BRONSON GETS SUPERKICKED BACK BY DONOVAN DUKE FOR ALL HIS TROUBLES!

Deadprez: ALL WHILE KELTON POPS UP YET AGAIN AND THEN HE HITS DONOVAN RIGHT ON THE FACE WITH A KNEE STRIKE! HE GRABS HIM AND THEN PULLS HIM IN, TRYING TO GO FOR A TWIST OF FATE!

Eve: DONOVAN FLIPS OUT OF IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND THEN TRIES TO-

Deadprez: “GALICK GUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!”

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUCKS DOWN AND KELTON ENDS UP HITTING BRONSON BY ACCIDENT INSTEAD! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Eve: “DRAGON FIST!” FROM HARPER!

Deadprez: KELTON DUCKS TOO! KELTON DUCKS AT THE LAST SECOND AND THE PUNCH ENDS UP HITTING DONOVAN SQUARE IN THE JAW BY ACCIDENT! BOTH COMPETITORS FALL HARD AGAINST THE ROPES!

(But as Bronson and Donovan bounce and turn to gaze at each other… the pain is replaced by nothing else but complete and total anger.)

Eve: BRONSON AND DONOVAN GO THROUGH AN ADRENALINE BOOST AND THEN RUSH AT EACH OTHER, COMPLETELY IGNORING THEIR PARTNERS AND THEN THROWING DOWN YET AGAIN IN A CLASH OF STRIKES! THEY WANT TO COMPLETELY TEAR EACH OTHER APART!

Deadprez: HARPER RUNS AT BRONSON AND THEN TRIES TO GO FOR THE “DRAGON FIST” FOR THE SECOND TIME!

Eve: KELTON DOES THE SAME AND RUNS FORWARD, THROWING A SECOND “GALICK GUN” AT DONOVAN!

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON AND DONOVAN PUNCH THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME, THE FORCE OF THEIR PUNCHES PUSHING THEM AWAY AND DUE TO THAT, THEY AVOID THE STRIKES AT THE LAST SECOND!

Eve: KELTON AND HARPER THEN GO AT EACH OTHER, EVERY STRIKE AND KICKS OF THEIRS FULL OF FRUSTRATION AND DETERMINATION!

Deadprez: DONOVAN RUNS FORWARD AND THEN GOES YET AGAIN FOR THE “FORCE OF WILL” ONTO KELTON!

Eve: BRONSON JUMPS AND THEN TRIES TO GO FOR THE “BATMAN PUNCH!” ONTO HARPER!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON AND HARPER KICK EACH OTHER RIGHT ON THE GUT AND THEY KICK EACH OTHER AWAY, AVOIDING THE STRIKES AS WELL!

(It is a complete mess right now, everyone is hurt, everyone is trying to find a solution to this stalemate, but in the chaos, finally, Bronson and Kelton are able to see each other… and they nod. They needed to end this.)

Eve: KELTON AND BRONSON RUN FORWARD! THEY GO TOGETHER!

Deadprez: DONOVAN FLIES THROUGH AND TRIES TO STOP THEM, GOING FOR A JUMPING DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!

Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON AND KELTON ROLL UNDER AT THE SAME TIME, AVOIDING THE DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!

Eve: HARPER JUMPS ONTO THE ROPES AND THEN JUMPS OFF, GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO TRY AND FLOOR THEM!

Gavin Kirkland: ELYSIUM SLIDE ACROSS THE MAT AND AVOID HARPER AS WELL, BRONSON SLOWS HIMSELF DOWN AS KELTON GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND GOES TO RUN THE ROPES! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

Eve: DONOVAN IS HOT ON THEIR TAIL, RUNNING THE ROPES HIMSELF AND KEEPING UP MOMENTUM, GOING TO-

Deadprez: KELTON RUNS AT HIS OWN PARTNER AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS, BRONSON POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND OVER HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: ## A POP-UP “ANTI LIFE EQUATIOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!”

Eve: THE SUDDEN TEAM MOVE COMPLETELY TAKES DONOVAN DOWN! KELTON CAVES DONOVAN’S CHEST RIGHT ONTO THE GROUND! THERE IS STILL-

Deadprez: HARPER RUNS AT KELTON WITH A SICK SMILE ON HER FACE!

Eve: **THE “LONELY STAR!!!”**

(…)

(…)

(…)

Deadprez: KELTON DUCKS UNDER AT THE LAST SECOND!

Eve: BRONSON PULLS OVER THE STEEL STEPS FROM EARLIER IN THE MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER CRASHES HARD RIGHT AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE STEEL STEPS! SHE LETS OUT A SCREAM OF PURE PAIN AS HER BACK FELL RIGHT AGAINST IT! SHE ROLLS OVER, HER BODY CONVULSING FROM THE PAIN!

Deadprez: AND SHE IS ABOUT TO RECEIVE TEN FOLDS MORE OF IT! BRONSON AND KELTON BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES AND RUN FORWARD TOGETHER AGAIN TOWARDS HARPER!

Eve: **THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEENNNNTTTTTTT!!!”**

Deadprez: **”MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!”**

Gavin Kirkland: # THEY LAND IIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

(And with the sounds of bone connecting against bone, the sounds of the cheering crowd, and three bodies falling against the hard surface of the mat, Bronson and Kelton lay there, in pain and absolutely exhausted. They look up towards each other and see the knocked out Harper Lee…)

(For Bronson, this was months of pain being redeemed, being able to find himself back on the top after such a long time and finally taking down these sick-minded people… but what about Kelton? This was a history spanning for over a decade, despite the failures, the hardships, the setbacks, he never forgot about wanting to finally become world champion and be in the top himself… but what about Bronson?)

(The two stared at each other in complete silence, not wanting to move at all. They wanted to win. They needed to win… but who?)

(…)

(…)

(…Bronson sat back and laid against the ropes.)

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) You earned this more than me… take it.

(Kelton’s eyes widened.)

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) No… no- No. No, I can’t- Don’t you try and play hero now.

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) And don’t you try and make excuses towards me, THIS is your moment, THIS is who you are meant to be. After all of this… I am content enough. I can still live. I have still more years in my lifespan to experience.

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) I am not doing it.

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) You sacrificed your dream for me back then… it is time I do it back for you. You mean a lot to me… and I want to see that bright and dumb grin on your face when you hold up that championship.

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) …

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Go.

Jon Kelton: (off-mic) …You are so damn stubborn.

(Kelton says with annoyance in his tone, but he has a smile, a very emotional one in his face, as he slowly drops down and then covers Harper.)

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(**Title Changes: 12**)

(**Current Title Holder: Jon Kelton**)

Gina Romano: AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… JON KELTON!!!!

(The whole arena falls silent now as they all turn to see the titantron, waiting for baited breath to see if it was going to get finally revealed.)

(…)

(…)

(…!)

(*Ding ding ding ding ding! You have reached the magic number!*)

(*The number… was 12 title changes! The time limit for this match will be revealed now. It was…*)

(*…60 minutes!*)

(The message ”Sorry Honey <3” is right next to the reveal in the titantron.)

(There is a collective groan from the people in the crowd, with Bronson simply letting out a tired but annoyed smile while Kelton looked pretty angry.)

Eve: …she didn’t even change the time in the first place :francis:

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, I can’t even spin this around, I am actually annoyed by that.

Deadprez: Man, just show how much time is left.

(The titantron quickly shifts to show 60:00, before quickly, the numbers start dropping down, lower and lower, the time limit dropping from 50, to 40, to 30, even to 20, and somehow, it dropped to 10, it finally kept going until…)

(**Time Limit: 6:00**)

Gavin Kirkland: THERE IS STILL SIX MINUTES LEFT???? MAN, I FEEL LIKE PERSEPHONE, END THIS MATCH!

Eve: It is okay, Kelton has the lead so far! We just have to be patient!

(Kelton sighs heavily and then sits there, Harper was down, Donovan was down, even Silas was down, they could just get back their energy for now. Bronson moves slowly and then leans against the rope, trying to take a breather himself.)

(Wait-)

(**CLICK!**)

Deadprez: Man, fuck this.

Eve: THE MASKED PERSON! THEY CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND THEY HANDCUFFED BRONSON TO THE ROPES! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON SEES THIS AND THEN PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, RUSHING TO GO AFTER THE MASKED PERSON!

Deadprez: KELTON SUDDENLY DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND! WHAT?

Eve: DONOVAN DUKE! DONOVAN RECOVERED AND GRABBED THE STEEL CHAIR FROM HARPER! HE SLAMMED IT RIGHT AGAINST KELTON’S BACK AND HE DROPPED HARD!

Gavin Kirkland: NOW DONOVAN IS SLAMMING THE CHAIR OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAINST KELTON’S BACK, NOT HOLDING BACK ANY BIT AND TRYING TO FURTHER HURT KELTON! COME ON!

(Donovan continues to slam the chair on Kelton’s back, his expression full of unadulterated anger. Bronson is trying to move and go to save Kelton, but he gets held back by the handcuffs, gritting his teeth and trying to break them somehow but he can’t! Come on, they were so close! They have to keep fighting!)

(Finally, Donovan stops and then takes a deep breath in and out, getting his breath back slowly, trying his best to move around after being overwhelmed by so much. He turns towards the masked person, as they go to get a microphone and then they throw it towards him.)

(Donovan catches it in his hand and then he turns to Bronson, speaking up.)

Donovan Duke: You know, since it seems that I have already won Bronson, this will be…

(Donovan turns to the titantron.)

(**Time Limit: 5:00**)

Donovan Duke: The last five minutes I will ever give to you. So listen up well for what I am about to say.

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) YOU BASTARD! YOU WILL PAY!

Donovan Duke: Whoa there, that ain’t a way to talk to your world champion, let me show you what happens with that.

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN TURNS AND THEN HE SLAMS THE STEEL CHAIR YET AGAIN ONTO KELTON’S BACK!

Eve: He is hurting Kelton right in front of his friend and partner! How messed up can he be in the head?!

Donovan Duke: That is what happens when you try to cross me! That is what happens when you try and prove me wrong, Bronson! You are no hero! Kelton is no hero! All of you are just false preachers, dumb believers in nothing! And what is your basis for trying to doubt me?! That I am using what the Cash in the Vault was made for?! That suddenly the people don’t like me?

(**Time Limit: 4:00**)

Donovan Duke: IT’S BULLSHIT!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN YET AGAIN SLAMS THE CHAIR HAND AGAINST KELTON! OVER AND OVER AND OVER!

Donovan Duke: BRONSON DANIELS WILL NEVER GET THIS CHAMPIONSHIP BACK!

( **SLAM!** )

Donovan Duke: JON KELTON WILL NEVER BECOME WORLD CHAMPION!

( **SLAM!** )

Donovan Duke: And I will reign with the championship for as long as I want! Might as well be forever if we are honest!

( **SLAM!** )

Donovan Duke: I am your Answers World Champion! Maybe not the one you want, but the one you NEED, and that is final-

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) WE DON’T NEED YOU!

(Donovan stops and then turns towards Bronson, Bronson’s expression full of frustration and a slight tinge of determination.)

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) You are a desperate man! You are a whiny one as well! That attitude! Those kinds of actions! The way that you speak, the way that you express yourself to everyone! That is not what a champion is supposed to be!

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) You can reign for 1000 years but no matter what, the people will never see you as world champion!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN SLAMS THE CHAIR RIGHT ACROSS BRONSON’S GUT!

Donovan Duke: Stay down.

(Bronson falls to his knees and lays there in pain, as Donovan turns and then goes towards Kelton-)

Eve: KELTON POPS UP AND THEN HITS DONOVAN RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW! HE’S STILL GOING! THERE IS STILL A CHANCE!

(**Time Limit: 3:00**)

Deadprez: KELTON STARTS LIGHTING DONOVAN UP WITH STRIKES ACROSS HIS BODY, DONOVAN BEING FORCED TO DROP DOWN THE CHAIR AND THE MICROPHONE TO THE GROUND TO BLOCK HIS HEAD AND FACE!

Eve: KELTON HITS A WELL PLACED ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE THOUGH AND DONOVAN GETS PUSHED AGAINST THE ROPES! KELTON JUST NEEDS TO HOLD THE LEAD FOR THESE LAST THREE MINUTES!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON TURNS OVER AND THEN RUNS TO THE ROPES, GETTING MOMENTUM AND THEN TRYING TO CLOTHESLINE DONOVAN OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Deadprez: **DONOVAN KICKS KELTON RIGHT ON HIS DICK! FUCK THIS!!!**

(Kelton falls down hard against the ground, his face full of genuine pain while Donovan stands over him, his anger turning yet again into a completely uncaring expression. He’s had enough.)

Eve: DONOVAN GRABS ONTO KELTON AND THEN LIFTS HIM UP, AND THEN… turns around? He doesn’t have a move where he needs to turn around.

Deadprez: He also grabs onto the weakened Kelton… he jumps up-

Gavin Kirkland: **”BANKRUPT?!”**

Eve: DONOVAN HITS ONE OF MILLI’S MOVES!

Deadprez: He’s mocking now! He just hit one of Kelton’s friends moves and is treating all of this as a joke!

(**Time Limit: 2:00**)

(Donovan gets up to his feet, the crowd reaching a high boiling point as they are booing incredibly loudly. Meanwhile, Bronson all can do is watch as his friend is trying his best to survive. He shakes hard but he can’t do anything, he is trying to shout but the crowd is too loud, his emotions are overtaking him but he can’t do anything.)

(Donovan then walks towards one of the corners and patiently waits for Kelton to sit up, preparing and not moving his sight away from Kelton for even one second, and as Kelton tries his best to move, to try and fight, he slowly sits up…)

Eve: DONOVAN RUNS TOWARDS THE SEATED KELTON!!!

Gavin Kirkland: **”MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF” FROM DONOVAN!!!**

(And as the swinging elbow connects, Kelton falls, and the boos slowly fall down as well, Bronson can only sit there, defenseless, weak, as Donovan just used one of his own moves to basically kill Kelton’s dreams.)

Deadprez: He’s despicable… in every way.

Eve: I… sigh, I can’t watch this.

(Donovan sits up for one last time, and then turns towards the defeated Bronson.)

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) It’s over.

(Donovan then finally goes to cover Jon Kelton. The referee shakes his head and sadly, they drop down to the mat to count the pin.)

Referee: ONE!

Eve: # JON KELTON KICKS OUT AT ONE! HE KICKS OUT AT ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Crowd: SOAOJADSOIASJIDOASJIDOASIJDOASIJOIASJDOAISJDOIASJDOIASJDOIASDJOIDJOIDOJDIOIDOIJDOIASOIJDOISADJAOISJDIOASJDOAISDJOISJD!!!

Deadprez: THE ROOF JUST CAME OFF THE GODDAMN ARENA! JON KELTON WILL NOT DIE! HE IS STILL FIGHTING NO MATTER WHAT! FOR HIS DREAMS! FOR HIS CHANCE TO FINALLY BECOME WORLD CHAMPION AFTER A WHOLE DECADE OF FAILING AND TRYING! IT IS NOW OR NEVER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN TRIED TO MOCK KELTON BY USING THE MOVE OF HIS FRIENDS! BUT ALL IT DID WAS JUST GIVE HIM BACK ENERGY AND GIVE HIM THE HOPE TO FIGHT BACK AGAIN! THE CROWD IS SHOUTING, BRONSON IS SHOUTING AS WELL ALL WHILE DONOVAN IS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK! HE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

(**Time Limit: 1:00**)

Eve: THERE IS ONE MORE MINUTE LEFT! KELTON JUST HAS TO HOLD ON ONE MORE MINUTE AND HE WILL FINALLY BECOME WORLD CHAMPION!

Deadprez: KELTON JUST GOT A SHOT AT ADRENALINE AND HE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! DONOVAN TRIES TO GET UP AND THEN STOP HIM, BUT YET AGAIN, KELTON LIGHTS HIM UP! EVERY PUNCH THROWN AGAINST HIM MEANT TO TAKE THE TRUE DEVIL DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: FINALLY, KELTON WINDS UP ONE LAST MORE, AND HE THROWS IT RIGHT AT DONOVAN’S FACE!

Eve: DONOVAN STEPS TO THE SIDE-

( ***THUD!*** )

(…)

(…)

Eve: N-… no way…

(Jon Kelton completely collapsed against the ground. All of his energy was gone, he was fading in and out of consciousness, his body just shut down. He could not go on anymore. He had nothing more left.)

Deadprez: He… he used all of his energy in that last kickout.

(**Time Limit: 0:30**)

(Donovan’s despair slowly fades away when he sees the sight. His shit-eating grin comes back as he takes a step back-)

Gavin Kirkland: THE HAND-CUFFED BRONSON GRABS ONTO DONOVAN WITH HIS FREE ARM! HE MISTAKENLY STEPPED TOO FAR BACK AND BRONSON WAS ABLE TO GRAB HIM!

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) KELTON, GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(But there was a little bit more there still.)

(**Time Limit: 0:25**)

Deadprez: KELTON IS SLOWLY STARTING TO CRAWL, HE IS TIRED, HE IS HURT, BUT BY THIS POINT HIS BODY IS JUST MOVING FOR HIM! HE IS PLANNING TO GET OUT OF THE RING!

Eve: DONOVAN IS TRYING TO STRUGGLE HARD OFF OF BRONSON’S GRASP BUT BRONSON IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!

(**Time Limit: 0:20**)

Deadprez: DONOVAN IS ELBOWING BRONSON REPEATEDLY IN HIS HEAD BUT BRONSON IS USING ALL HIS ENERGY TO NOT LET DONOVAN GET HIS FRIEND!

Eve: KELTON IS SLOWLY PUSHING FORWARD AND IS GETTING THROUGH THE ROPES!

(**Time Limit: 0:15**)

Gavin Kirkland: HE IS GOING TO MAKE IT! HE IS SO CLOSE!

Eve: KELTON PUSHES ONE LAST TIME! HE GOES THROUGH THE ROPES TO LEAVE THE RING!

(…)

(……………..)

(It’s not meant to be.)

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Eve: THE MASKED PERSON HIT RIGHT KELTON RIGHT ACROSS THE HEAD WITH SILAS’ BRASS KNUCKLES! NOT LIKE THIS, PLEASE!

Deadprez: DONOVAN SCRATCHES BRONSON’S FACE AND BRONSON DESPITE ALL HE GAVE, HE IS FORCED TO LET GO!

(**Time Limit: 0:10**)

Eve: DONOVAN JUMPS OVER AND THEN GRABS ONTO KELTON! THE “EYE OF THE STORM!!!” THE GRAPEVINE DRAGON SLEEPER IS LOCKED IN!

(**Time Limit: 0:08**)

Deadprez: THERE IS ONLY EIGHT SECONDS LEFT, COME ON KELTON! DON’T TAP OUT! JUST HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER!!!

(**Time Limit: 0:06**)

Gavin Kirkland: THERE IS STILL SOME SMALL MOVEMENT FROM KELTON! HE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO FIGHT WITH HIS OWN CONSCIOUSNESS, TO NOT GO INTO DREAMLAND AND LET HIS DREAMS STAY DREAMS!

(**Time Limit: 0:04**)

Eve: DONOVAN PULLS BACK ON THE MOVE! KELTON’S ARMS ARE SLOWLY DROPPING DOWN!

(**Time Limit: 0:03**)

Eve: KELTON, DON’T GIVE UP!

Deadprez: COME ON, KELTON!

Crowd: KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON!

Gavin Kirkland: THEY ARE SLOWLY SLOWERING, THEY ARE GOING TO HIT THE GROUND!

(**Time Limit: 0:02**)

(Kelton…)

(…)

(…)

(…)

(**Time Limit: 0:01**)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: THE MATCH IS OVER! THE MATCH IS OVER! PLEASE TELL ME WE WON!

Eve: I… I don’t know…

Deadprez: SHOW THE REPLAY!

(Everyone is anxious, waiting with baited breath. The titantron shows the replay of the last few seconds of the match, the submission being locked in, Kelton’s arms slowly dropping.)

(At the last possible second…)

(…)

(…Kelton’s arms dropped to the mat and he passed out.)

(**Current Title Holder: Donovan Duke**)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: AND STILL, YOUR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, DONOVAAAAANNNNNNNNN DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(“Enemy” by From Ashes to New plays on the speakers and the crowd has never turned as hostile as it did before. They grab onto their cups, whatever they have on their hand and they throw it angrily into the ring. Trash keeps getting thrown as Donovan holds on a little longer and then finally, he lets go, laying on the ring with a gigantic grin on his face.)

Eve: …

Deadprez: …

Gavin Kirkland: …uhm… woohoo?

(It is complete silence from the commentary team. Donovan lays there, the happiest he’s ever been, the world completely against him after all of his actions, but he truly does not care a single bit.)

(He pushes himself up to his feet, completely ignoring the referee as the masked person goes to give him his Answers World Championship. He walks casually and then goes to wake up Harper. She is very much confused at the sight but she sees the championship on Donovan’s hands and her happiness quickly comes back and goes to hug him.)

(Silas slowly and surely climbs up the stairs and enters, the masked person helping him out and going to get him through the ropes, he also got his ass kicked before after all. Silas walks slowly and then goes to hug both Donovan and Harper, congratulating them for a job well done. They must be the only people that are happy in the whole world, as trash keeps getting thrown at them.)

(Kelton is unresponsive, he is completely passed out, yet again, robbed away from achieving his dreams. Meanwhile, Bronson can only sit there feeling pure hopelessness, leaning against the ropes and his expression not showing any kind of feeling, he was tired, he was angry, he was sad, he was feeling every little bit of emotion right now, but he could not show it. He felt like he lost some of his belief in those last few minutes.)

(Finally, all of Silas World stops celebrating and Donovan turns towards Bronson. He drops the championship and then walks over, standing there looking down at the defeated Bronson without any bit of forgiveness or mercy.)

Eve: DONOVAN PUNCHES BRONSON RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE! COME ON, THEY HAD ENOUGH!

Deadprez: HARPER ENDS UP JOINING DONOVAN AND HE STARTS KICKING BRONSON WHILE HE IS DOWN!

(The masked person also joins in on the stomping, Donovan, Harper and the masked person kicking Bronson repeatedly while he is completely weak.)

(Donovan takes a few steps back and then goes to-)

Gavin Kirkland: MILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! SHE SLAMS A CRUTCH RIGHT AGAINST THE BACK OF DONOVAN! SHE CAME RUSHING DOWN FROM MEDICAL TO TRY AND FIGHT SILAS WORLD OFF!!!

Eve: MILLI IS LIMPING AND MOVING SLOW AFTER THAT BELLY TO BELLY TO THE RINGPOST! BUT HER ANGER IS PUSHING HER TO KEEP FIGHTING, AS SHE SLAMS THE CRUTCH REPEATEDLY OVER DONOVAN’S BACK!

Deadprez: HARPER TURNS AND NOTICES MILLI THERE! SHE GOES TO HELP BUT MILLI SLAMS THE CRUTCH RIGHT ACROSS HER GUT! AND NOW MILLI GOES FOR THE MASKED PERSON!

Eve: THE MASKED PERSON STOMPS HARD ON MILLI’S KNEE AND SHE FALLS AGAINST THE MAT! SHE TRIES TO GET UP!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT INSTEAD THE MASKED PERSON RUNS AND THEN CURB STOMPS HER HARD AGAINST THE MAT!

(Milli now lays on the mat, hurt as well. Harper and Donovan help each other up, looking to take a glance towards Milli… before they go and then kick her while she is down! Silas World gathers this time to now stomp down on Milli and hurt her even more!)

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Silas World stand now together right over the downed Milli. Donovan and Harper look around at the crowd and then back towards the masked person. They step back now for a moment.)

Eve: What… is happening?

(The camera now focused towards the masked person. They stood there not moving a single inch before slowly moving their hands to grab onto their head… AND THEY TOOK OFF THEIR MASK!)

(…)

Deadprez: OH WHAT THE HELL!? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!? IT’S –

(https://media1.tenor.com/m/FFW0NSnkqGoAAAAd/baron-corbin-you-cant-see-me.gif )

Deadprez: ***RONAN MALOSSI???????????????????????***

Gavin Kirkland: ODAOPKPSOKDOPAKSDPOKASDOPASKDOPASKPDOKASPODKASPODKAPOSKDPOASKDPOASKDPOASKDOPASDKPOASKDPOADSKPOSDKPOSDKAOPDPODDPOPOK! RONAN IS BACK! RONAN MALOSSI IS BAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKK!!!!

Eve: Ew.

(The crowd is absolutely shocked for a few seconds before they go back to booing, even louder than before. Ronan has the biggest shit-eating grin on as Silas is laughing very loudly, Harper and Donovan laughing along as well.)

Deadprez: THE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN TERRORISING THE ROSTER FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS IS NONE OTHER THAN RONAN MALOSSI??????????? WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS ALL MEAN?

Gavin Kirkland: It means that I AM TEAM SILAS WORLD BABY! YESSIR, WE TAKING OVER SHOWDOWN!

Eve: I legitimately need a rest.

(Suddenly though, the laughing stops as Silas steps forward between all of them, and then makes sure to raise his voice with this one.)

Silas Mason: Gentlemen, lady… FINISH THEM!

Eve: Wait- WAIT! THEY ARE GRABBING ONTO MILLI!

Deadprez: THEY ARE PUTTING A STEEL CHAIR RIGHT AROUND HER NECK! THEY PULL HER TOWARDS THE CORNER AS RONAN SLOWLY STARTS TO CLIMB THE TOP ROPE!

Gavin Kirkland: Okay, I am not a supporter of injuring people, but I am sure we can figure something out!

Eve: THERE IS NO FIGURING IT OUT! THEY ARE GOING TO SERIOUSLY INJURE MILLI BANKS!

(A hurt Bronson is screaming loudly for Milli’s name, trying to do something but he has nowhere to go. He can only watch.)

Deadprez: RONAN RISES UP TO HIS FEET IN THE SECOND ROPE, AND HE IS READY TO JUMP!!!

(At that moment… “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande plays on the speakers.)

Crowd: ASDKOPSPODOPSAKOAPSKPOASKDPOAKSDPOAKSDPAOKDPOAKSDPOAKSDPOASKDOPAKSDPOADKPODAOSKPOASKDPOASKPOADSKOPDKPODK!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJIDSJISDJFISJDIFJSIDJFSIDJFIDFJIDSFJISDJFIDJIFFIJ!!!!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS RUNS THROUGH THE ENTRANCE STAGE AND DOWN THE RAMP AS FAST AS SHE CAN! SHE CARRIES WITH HER A DIAMOND ENCRUSTED KENDO STICK IN HER HAND! VEENA ADAMS IS BACK!

Deadprez: ALL OF SILAS WORLD IS COMPLETELY SHOCKED AT THIS AS VEENA JUMPS ONTO THE RING APRON AND THEN SHE WHACKS RONAN RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK WITH THE KENDO STICK!

Gavin Kirkland: NEVERMIND, I AM BACK IN THE SIDE OF THE LIGHT! LET’S GO HEROES!

Eve: RONAN FALLS OFF THE CORNER AND LANDS ON THE MAT! HARPER TRIES TO ATTACK BUT SHE IS STOPPED BY AN ENZUIGIRI FROM VEENA! AS SHE ENTERS AND THEN WHACKS HARPER RIGHT ACROSS THE GUT WITH THE KENDO STICK!

Deadprez: DONOVAN RUNS FORWARD AND THEN TRIES TO HIT VEENA RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!

Eve: VEENA DUCKS UNDER IN TIME AND JUST AS DONOVAN TURNS AROUND TO GO AND FIGHT BACK-

Deadprez: A CRUTCH GETS SLAMMED RIGHT AGAINST HIS GUT AND THEN IT GETS HIT ACROSS HIS BACK! MILLI TOOK THE CHAIR OFF HER NECK AND SHE GOT UP AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA AND MILLI BACKING AND SAVING EACH OTHER UP! BESTIES ARE BACK!

Eve: AND NOW THEY WORK TOGETHER AS THEY START WHACKING ALL OF SILAS WORLD! RONAN, HARPER, AND DONOVAN ARE ALL GETTING IT! SILAS ONLY AVOIDS IT BECAUSE HE ENDS UP ESCAPING THE RING, THE DAMN COWARD!

Deadprez: RONAN MOVES TO TRY AND SNEAK UP ON VEENA, AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND THEN TRIES TO GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO HER HEAD!

Eve: VEENA DUCKS UNDER IN TIME AND RONAN HITS NOTHING, AS HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES-

Deadprez: STRAIGHT INTO A SPEAR FROM VEENA ADAMS!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER GOES TO RUN AT VEENA WHILE SHE IS DISTRACTED!

Eve: BUT SHE ENDS UP RUNNING ONTO MILLI INSTEAD! “BANKRUPT” OUT OF NOWHERE TO FLOOR HER DOWN!

(Donovan slowly moves up and tries to re-organize himself, before he notices and now he sees that he is surrounded by both Veena and Milli, staring at him with bad intentions in their mind. He puts up his hands in peace and then backs away.)

(But he suddenly stops as he feels someone slowly rising behind him. He turns around-)

Eve: THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!”

Deadprez: KELTON FINALLY WOKE UP AND THEN SPEARED DONOVAN RIGHT OUT OF HIS BOOTS! SILAS WORLD IS FORCED TO RETREAT NOW!

(Donovan rolls away as Harper and Ronan get him out, and then all of them back away up the ramp now being accompanied by Silas Mason. The crowd is fully cheering and happy yet again as they see the heroes standing tall.)

Eve: Tonight might have not ended as we hoped and thought for, but no matter what happens, no matter how many hoops the people in the ring have to go through, this won’t end until Silas World goes down!

Deadprez: They might have taken the win tonight through dirty means once more, but their wills don’t compare to the ones of those that want better for themselves and for the rest of wrestling! Bronson, Kelton, Milli and Veena are all those people!

Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT VEENA IS BACK, YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!

(Veena goes to check on Milli, making sure she is walking correctly, while Milli goes to check on Kelton as well, some blood pouring out of his head due to that brass knuckles shot but he is still moving and he is still breathing.)

(Some of the security quickly come down, and with a pair of bolt cutters, they are able to cut Bronson’s handcuffs. Bronson falls down hard against the mat, his expression genuinely trying to wrap his head around everything that happened. He felt despair about the future of himself and the brand that he is in, but lifting his head up and seeing the people around him… Veena, Milli and Kelton… he felt his hope come back.)

(They all help him up, Bronson immediately goes to hug Milli and Kelton, the three of them hugging tightly, happy that they were alright. Veena stands to the side casually before Milli grabs her and makes her join the hug, Veena being very taken off guard but not disliking the group hug as she slowly joins in with them.)

(Finally, they break away and they stand together. They walk over towards the ropes and they stand on them, as they stare daggers towards Silas World walking backwards up the ropes, Silas, Ronan and Harper have a focused expression, while Donovan does not show any emotion as he hugs tightly onto his Answers World Championship.)

Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS HAS EVENED THE ODDS! Oh I like this! I like this a lot!

(The war… was not over yet.)

(And on that note, Reasonable Doubt slowly fades away.)
