(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of the show from last week. Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels open the show, calling out the Jaded Hearts and promising to win against them, The Jaded Hearts come out, belittling the two as all four of them go in a back and forth before they break out into a brawl. Ryan Wilson defeats Raeangel Guzmán after an interference from Nikki. Auburn and Miku have a contract signing, the two insulting each other and not holding back before they fight again, but the situation ends with Miku stabbing Auburn several times with the leg of the table and making her bleed as she is pulled away and Auburn is taken away by medical. SOSA Henderson defeats a local competitor and promises that he is going to be winning against Cy Henderson. Elysium defeats the De La Rosa brothers. Kennedy Street comes out to give out some news, but she is suddenly interrupted by Harper Lee, who complains about having to fight Diamond Dixon. Kennedy ends up not taking her shit and decides to force her to fight Donovan Duke and SOSA Henderson for a spot at the Showdown EEC, but as Kennedy leaves the ring and goes backstage, she sees La Familia bickering with each other, this forces Kennedy to make a solution, to make Roberto fight Luis and Brianna for a spot in the chamber as well. Donovan defeats Ruler after some help from Ryan. Milli comes out to call KASAI out after her crazy antics she has had to deal with, KASAI comes out as well, the two going at each other in a battle of words before it ends in another brawl, this time Milli standing tall. And finally, in the main event, Cody Maverick and Veena Adams are able to defeat TLA and Charlie Marr after a miscommunication from TLA and Charlie, the two argue after the match but they are attacked by the Jaded Hearts, and after that, Elysium comes out and lays them out two instead, Kelton and Bronson standing tall to end the show.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!
Deadprez: We are getting closer and closer towards The Last Stand, and we approaching it at fast speeds! But we need to make a stop here in Qatar first to bring you another awesome show tonight! We see Cody Maverick go up against Brianna Hill, as well as Nikki Kimura facing Ryan Wilson!
Eve: We see the Answers World Champion TLA in action too fighting against Roberto de la Rosa and in the main event, clash of titans! The Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks faces none other than Bronson Daniels!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANYMORE TIME! LET’S OPEN UP THE SHOW!
(The camera fades into ringside as suddenly ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits and the crowd begins to boo angrily.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen at this time please welcome… Harper Lee!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This crowd could be a little more welcoming…
Eve: Maybe Harper should give them an actual reason to be…
Gavin Kirkland: I will welcome you Harper even if these haters won’t!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO LET’S GO HARPER!!!
Deadprez: Damn. Could you glaze any harder bro?
Gavin Kirkland: I could.
Deadprez: :francis:
(The theme music begins to fade but the boos take a while longer to fade before Harper Lee is able to speak.)
Harper Lee: I know that you people in Qatar don’t get to see the face of a beautiful woman like myself in public very often… So, I can understand why you are all showing your jealousy right now!
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Harper Lee: I don’t actually. I was just in the main event at Territorial Invasion after all. That’s more than any of you have or will accomplish in your lives! Not only that but I took that idiot Diamond Dixon, and I put her in her place last week on Voltage. Apparently she is really mad because she can’t compete for the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships! I did her a favor honestly. She doesn’t get to go out there and embarrass herself on the big stage. But now Diamond is going around and challenging me to a match and honestly it is very sad and pathetic that she just can’t let things go. I mean people offend me all the time and I do the professional thing. I just let it go and move on because their hateful words mean very little to me.
Crowd: HARPER SUCKS! HARPER SUCKS! HARPER SUCKS!
Harper Lee: Your hateful words mean even less to me. Imagine being Diamond Dixon… someone who EAW management has glazed and catered to since her debut and then being so angry and disgruntled all the time. I wish that I was treated as fairly as she is. I would probably be a 5 time World Champ by now or something. Anyway, I am going to focus on my goals because my goals are what are important. I don’t really care what Diamond’s goals are or what they do over on Voltage that they pretend to call wrestling. We all know that the Harper Lee show is the A show here in EAW.
Gavin Kirkland: She’s right about that. Showdown gang gang.
Harper Lee: It is time for me to focus on my chance to get an EAW World Championship match at Road to Redemption. It is very unfortunate that things did not go my way at Territorial Invasion and now I have to wait for another shot at what is rightfully mine at Road to Redemption. That is way too long of a wait. They should have be competing for the World Title in a singles match right here tonight. But no. They can never just make things easy can they? I mean my competition doesn’t even deserve a shot. THEY ALREADY HAVE A SHOT. And what are they doing with it? They have contracts or briefcases that they can cash in at any time. But they have spent all season just hanging on to it. Do you know why that is? Because they know that as soon as they cash in I will be on them to take their championship immediately. They keep hoping for a chance to cash in where Harper won’t be around. But it’s not going to happen because I will either win the title before they cash in or after they cash in and if they try to cash in after I win the title… Well, I will simply make that a waste of time!
(“I Rise” by Cory Marks hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Eve: Well Harper Lee is not going to be happy to be interrupted. Donovan Duke has heard enough!
Gavin Kirkland: This is very disrespectful! What the hell is Donovan doing out here???
Deadprez: Harper Lee was talking her shit. Now let’s see if she is willing to actually say all of that to Donovan’s face!
Donovan Duke stops at the entranceway as he has a microphone. His music fades as he waits for the crowd to quiet down so he can talk.)
Donovan Duke: You are sounding very ridiculous right now Harper. I don’t deserve a title shot because I have this Cash in the Vault briefcase? I don’t think you understand how contendership works. This briefcase is the backup plan. My shot will be earned just like everybody else around here! Just like I earned this briefcase by winning the Ladder Match at Pain for Pride. I am proving that I don’t need a briefcase to be a top contender for the World Title!
Harper Lee: That is where you are wrong Donovan. You aren’t capable of getting a title shot on your own. That briefcase is literally your ONLY chance at winning a World Championship in your career. You just aren’t good enough to earn one on your own. In fact, you basically won that Ladder Match as a fluke. I mean anyone can get lucky and climb a ladder. It takes actual skill to win a World Title the old fashioned way like I did with the Universal Women’s Championship.
Donovan Duke: Last week I pinned Ruler and showed why I am a serious threat here on Showdown.
Harper Lee: You only won because of Ryan Wilson though. How sad is that!
Donovan Duke: I beat Ruler by myself. Ryan just dealt with all of those druids and interference.
Harper Lee: Sounds like excuses to me.
Donovan Duke: You can call it what you want. When we get in that ring together I will show you why I am the Oklahoma Storm. I will show you all why I am the best in ring competitor in this entire business today!
???: Woah woah woah… Aren’t you both forgetting someone?
(The crowd cheers as SOSA Henderson appears on the Tron.)
SOSA Henderson: Sorry I couldn’t join this lil party. But I am very busy this weekend getting ready for my match against an all-time legend in Cy Henderson at House of Glass! That’s right baby SOSA is streaming live to you all from Cairo!
Harper Lee: I am not surprised you are in Cairo. You are probably too scared to be in the same arena with me.
SOSA Henderson: Oh, Harper I can assure you that is not the case. Compared to a man like Cy Henderson I really don’t see you as that much of a threat. I am just here to back up what Donovan Duke has been saying. I will enter the chamber at Road to Redemption. I will go through all of you at The Last Stand. I will earn a World Title shot because I can. In fact, I have proven that more than both of you. But Donovan is right. He has the briefcase. I have the contract. The 24/7 Contract is just a backup plan!
Harper Lee: LOL! LMAO EVEN! It is clear that I am working with a bunch of immature children and clowns. You two don’t understand what it means to be a champion. You just run around with your little contracts all season long and everyone acts like you are future champions. You get treated like you already won the belts because of that and honestly neither of you have done anything at all this entire season to warrant that treatment. You should all be treated by fans and management as nothing more than wannabes which is exactly what you are when you are on the same roster as me.
Donovan Duke: Now Harper you are just saying shi-
Harper Lee: No! I will not be silenced! I have been wronged! I have been persecuted! You people just don’t get it… While people like SOSA are being handed opportunities to take on legends like Cy Henderson on a silver platter I have to deal with people like Diamond Dixon? What the hell is management thinking? She’s not on my level and she never will be!!!-
Eve: Oh, shit look out!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL!!!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Leave Harper alone!
Eve: DIAMOND DIXON IS HERE! THIS CROWD JUST EXPLODED AS DIAMOND DIXON HAS ENTERED THE RING AND LUNGED ON TOP OF HARPER LEE!!! DIAMOND IS THROWING HANDS AND LIGHTING HARPER UP!!!
Crowd: DIAMOND! DIAMOND DIAMOND!
Deadprez: Donovan and SOSA are clearly enjoying what they are seeing!
(Harper spits in the face of Diamond!!!)
Eve: It looks like that caught Diamond off guard as Harper grabs the ring ropes and pulls herself out of the ring! Diamond kicks at Harper through the ropes but Harper is already running away from the ring!
(Harper Lee hops the barricade to escape from Diamond Dixon.)
Deadprez: Harper Lee is running at full speed through the crowd to put as much distance between her and Diamond Dixon! I think it is safe to say that Harper does not want any of that!!!
(“Okay” by JT hits to cheers from the crowd as Diamond Dixon is dancing in the ring mocking Harper Lee who is way up in the stands by now looking down at Diamond in the ring with an expression of rage on her face.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial for the Sparkling Zero flavored water brand promoted by Malcolm Jones.)
(As Showdown returns he camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: Already in the ring standing at 8’5 and weighing in at 600 pounds from right here in Doha, Qatar she is GIANT AISHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(A massive Qatari woman is shown entering the ring causing it to shake as she steps into the ring. The crowd is stunned into silence as she is most likely one of the largest wrestlers that they have ever seen.)
Gavin Kirkland: GOD DAMN! THAT’S A BIG ASS BITCH!!!
Eve: Gavin please. Show some respect. This is a local competitor from right here in Qatar. From what I understand she doesn’t have any wrestling experience at all. But her size might more than make up for it.
Deadprez: How the hell do you deal with someone like this…
Giant Aisha: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(Giant Aisha lets out a battle cry of rage startling small children in the front row as well as Gavin.)
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa: !!!
Suddenly STFU! by Rina Sawayama hits as the crowd begins to boo.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent from Fukui, Japan she is MIKUUUUUUUUUUUU SAKAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
(Miku Sakai comes down to the ring carrying a diet shake as she mockingly offers it to Giant Aisha in the ring. Aisha realizes that she is being mocked and swats it away with a massive tree trunk-like arm. Miku suddenly looks a bit concerned realizing she now actually has to fight this monster.)
Eve: I get the feeling that Miku thought tonight would be an easy night considering she was facing a local competitor with no experience.
Deadprez: Clearly that is not the case.
Gavin Kirkland: She’s a lot of woman but I know I could handle her!
Eve: I don’t think so Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Wanna bet?
Eve: No.
Gavin Kirkland: :umad:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Miku Sakai is now wondering just how she is going to deal with one of the largest wrestlers she has been in the ring with. Miku is only 5’2 and 110 pounds soaking wet. She looks like a child in the ring in comparison to this giant. But Miku is not backing down! She rushes in and kicks at the leg of Giant Aisha!
Deadprez: But it has no effect at all! Giant Aisha palms the skull of Miku Sakai and shoves her backwards across the ring! Miku falls to her back before getting back up and questioning exactly how she is going to deal with this opponent. Miku runs back in-
Eve: But Aisha goes for a Big Boot on Miku! No! Miku slides underneath the legs of the giant! Miku from behind goes for a School Girl rollup! But the Giant staggers backwards! All 600 pounds comes crashing down on top of Miku!!! AHHH-
Deadprez: No! Miku Sakai luckily managed to move out of the way! One of the turnbuckles broke from the force of the giant falling down to the mat! This is Miku’s chance to put her away! Miku goes for the cover!
Referee: ON-
Gavin Kirkland: But Giant Aisha kicks out with authority! Miku Sakai goes flying into the air and flies through the ropes from the force and lands outside the ring! Damn that wasn’t even a one count! Miku has some work to do…
Eve: Miku Sakai gets up on the outside of the ring, but the giant REACHES OVER the top rope and grabs her by the skull! Giant Aisha yanks Miku up to the apron-
Deadprez: But Miku Sakai grabs the giant by the neck and yanks her down over the top rope. The giant falls backwards as Miku Sakai climbs into the ring and gets up on the top rope looking down at her opponent. Miku measures her opponent as she gets up…
Eve: MIKU SAKAI CONNECTS WITH THE WALK OF SHAME!!! SHE GETS ALL OF IT!
Deadprez: THE DIVING CORKSCREW CUTTER CONNECTS AND DOWNS THE GIANT! THE RING IS ALMOST COLLAPSING!!! MIKU TO THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… MIKUUUUUUUU SAKAIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
(“STFU!” by Rina Sawayama hits as the crowd boos and Miku Sakai has her arm raised by the referee. Miku mocks the crowd with a fake crying gesture as she celebrates her win.)
Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai with a big win here tonight! She proved that the bigger they are the harder they fall!!!
Eve: Well, that is what happens when there is such a vast experience difference. Miku’s opponent was massive but clearly didn’t know how to wrestle. Still props to Miku for overcoming this scenario.
Deadprez: Miku Sakai is showing that she clearly knows how to adapt on the… WAIT WHAT THA HELL!!!-
(Miku Sakai slides back into the ring with a steel chair!)
Eve: Miku Sakai is not done just yet! Miku is bashing Giant Aisha with a steel chair repeatedly! And she grabs the diet shake she brought out to the ring and is now dumping it all over her opponent! This is disgusting!
Deadprez: What the hell Miku? Is this really necessary? Was winning not enough for you?!?!
(Miku Sakai drives the chair repeatedly into the throat of the giant who begins to cough up blood. The crowd is voicing their disapproval and throwing trash in the ring.)
Eve: We need security out here. Somebody stop this!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai is showing why she should not be disrespected like this! Miku demands worthy competition!!!
Eve: Wait look out! Someone is running down the ramp! They have a chair also and they are sliding into the ring! LOOK OUT!!!
Deadprez: Could it be? IT IS! AUBURN WARE IS HERE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: What is she doing here? She doesn’t work for EAW security…
(Auburn Ware swings the chair at Miku Sakai who quickly throws her own chair down and runs out of the ring. Miku leaps the barricade and begins running away through the crowd.)
Eve: Thank god for Auburn Ware… That could have gotten a lot worse than it did if she didn’t show up in time!!!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring an interview with Diamond Cage to determine if he is a member of the Proud Boys since leaving EAW.)
( The scene cuts to the commentary table where Veena Adams sat with her EAW National Championship. She waves at the crowd who booed her immediately, making her wave them off. Already annoyed that she is going to have to sit through this match.)
Gina Romano: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher blares through the PA system as Cody Maverick struts out, brimming with confidence. He points at the crowd, some of whom chant his name while others cheer him on. With swagger in his step, Maverick makes his way to the ring, soaking in the crowd’s energy. He climbs a turnbuckle and strikes a pose before turning his gaze toward the entrance, awaiting his opponent.
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS!… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR!… CODYYYYYYYYY… MAVERICKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Veena Adams: Fucking boooo, we just be letting anyone come out here huh? Turn his music off, it’s making my ears bleed.
( ‘Ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits to boos from the crowd. Uncharacteristically, Brianna Hill is coming out alone. Cutting to backstage, showing Luis, Roberto, and Raeangel watching Brianna. Luis seems to want to go out there but Roberto taps him on his chest, shaking his head in disapproval. Brianna was at this alone.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent…she is “El Alma de La Familia” BRRRRRRRRRRIANNA HILLLLLLLLLLL!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Veena Adams: Let’s hope that Cody or for the love of god Brianna can end this match quickly, I got plans and the last thing I need is to be stuck watching this snooze fest.
Gavin Kirkman: You’re in luck cause this match is quickly underway! These two are wasting zero time in engaging, tangling in the center of the ring in a collar-and-elbow tie-up! Both competitors jockeying for control, pushing back and forth until Brianna suddenly breaks the tie-up and drops into a headlock takedown! Cody quickly transitioned into head-scissors! Brianna flips over, into a pin but Cody kicks out before the referee can raise his hand, leaving both competitors to scramble to their feet. Maverick swings wildly, Brianna ducks it, hits the ropes, and slides between Cody’s legs! BUT, CODY PREDICTS IT AND STOMPS RIGHT DOWN ON THE HANDS OF BRIANNA HILL!
Eve: BRIANNA ROLLS RIGHT TO THE ROPES! Cody Maverick is NOT playing around today, he wants to beat Brianna and move on to the EAW National Championship! Brianna gets back to her feet and both competitors start circling. It’ll be interesting to see who’s mentality will get the victory here tonight. They reconvene in a tie-up, jockeying for control of this match-up! Brianna drops again for a headlock but this time Cody Maverick catches her with a forearm right on the button! A kick to the chest drops Hill to the ground! Cody secures a wrist lock and just wrench back and forth!
Veena Adams: With moves like that I am not moved at all, he moves like somebody’s disabled uncle. Maybe if he added more spice I would take him more seriously.
Deadprez: Brianna manages to break the hold, now dropping Cody with a snapmare takedown, wasting no time in hitting the ropes BEFORE LANDING A QUICK SLIDING PENALTY KICK! She’s got her attention glued to Cody, now delaying him with a sudden shoot kick to the side, and another to the torso! She’s teeing off on Maverick now, one kick after another! Brianna Hill is laying into these shots like she’s trying to split Cody in half! Maverick is feeling all of them! But, look at him! He’s not backing down! He’s getting up to his knees, staring right into the eyes of Hill!
Gavin Kirkman: That’s the determination of Cody Maverick! He’s taking everything Brianna is throwing at him and getting right back up! HILL looks for a big roundhouse kick but Cody ducks it! He’s up, grabs Brianna, and NAILS HER WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Cody Maverick starts hitting the ropes, picking up more and more speed as Brianna is left dazed in the center of the ring, defenseless AS MAVERICK LAYS HER OUT WITH A LARIAT! AND RIGHT INTO THE COVER HE GOES, BRIANNA MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT COUNTRY SHE’S IN RIGHT NOW!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Eve: BUT BRIANNA POWERS OUT AT TWO! A STRONG KICK OUT BUT, SHE STILL LOOKS OUT OF IT, KICKING OUT MORE ON INSTINCT THAN ANYTHING ELSE! Brianna got her lights knocked out! Cody’s got a whole arsenal of game-changing moves, Brianna’s gotta adapt to this and fast! Brianna slumped down in the corner, and Cody is dragging her back up to her feet. He got Brianna in his sights— chop to the chest! Another one! He’s lighting her up with these strikes!
Veena Adams: He is really trying hard, so hard to impress me. We get it, you hit hard. The fact that he is going this hard for Brianna Hill of all people tells me everything I need to know.
Gavin Kirkman: He’s got Brianna by the wrist, irish whip to the ropes, and Brianna looks to fight back! Cody ducks a clothesline, hits the opposite ropes, and Brianna leapfrogs! Cody back again, OH, BUT BRIANNA CAUGHT HIM WITH A DROPKICK TO THE KNEE! Brianna Hill knew exactly how to stop that momentum! And now Cody’s down clutching that knee. Brianna is already locking in on it. Brianna got Cody’s leg caught, dragging him in the center of the ring, wrapping around, and LOCKING IN AN INVERTED FIGURE FOUR!
Veena Adams: What a dumbass. He walked right into that, like Christ opening your eyes, having some semblance of ring awareness. I hope she breaks his knees.
Eve: THIS IS WHERE BRIANNA GETS TO TEST CODY’S MENTAL, CAN HE GET OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS? HE’S WASTING NO TIME IN PULLING FOR THE ROPES, MANAGING TO GET A GRIP! BUT, BRIANNA IS PULLING HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, LOOKING TO LOCK IT IN ONCE AGAIN—! Cody manages to kick Brianna away into the ropes! Brianna comes running back in with a Penalty Kick-! Cody manages to duck it, making his way back to his feet and dazing Brianna with a forearm! Wait, Brianna rolls back in with a roaring elbow! Cody Maverick stumbles into the corner, Brianna comes rushing in with a knee!
Deadprez: AND CODY CATCHES HER WITH A URANAGE! BRIANNA IS ROCKED! SHE STUMBLES AND FALLS RIGHT INTO THE CORNER AND CODY IS WASTING NO TIME, RUSHING FULL SPEED FROM TURNBUCKLE TO TURNBUCKLE AND DRILLING BRIANNA WITH A CORNER DROPKICK! RIGHT ON THE JAW! CODY SNATCHES THE FOOT, IGNORING THE PAIN IN HIS KNEE, AND DRAGS BRIANNA BACK INTO THE CENTER, AND GOES RIGHT INTO THE COVER!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Gavin Kirkman: AND BRIANNA MANAGES TO SHOOT HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT AGAIN! CODY CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE RIGHT THERE! I don’t know how much more Brianna can take! Cody Maverick is laying it all on the line tonight, and Brianna’s barely hanging in there! Cody’s up to his feet, but you can see that knees are still giving him trouble. He’s limping, but he’s got that determined look in his eyes. He’s not letting this slip through his fingers! Brianna Hill is rolling away to the ropes, holding onto the bottom rope as Cody looks to press his advantage!
Eve: He reaches over the middle rope to grab Brianna but, is met with a slap from Brianna Hill! AND BRIANNA WASTES NO TIME GRABBING THE LEG OF CODY AND HITTING A DRAGON SCREW THROUGH THE ROPES! LURING CODY INTO A TRAP AND SPRINGING IT AT THE PERFECT MOMENT! BRIANNA IS WASTING NO TIME, GETTING UP TO THE APRON AND NOW LEAPING FORWARD, HITTING A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE KNEE OF CODY! HE’S IN A WORLD OF HURT HERE! CODY IS TRYING TO DRAG HIMSELF TO THE CORNER BUT, BRIANNA HAS THE LEG, STEPPING THROUGH AND LOCKING IN THAT INVERTED FIGURE FOUR ONCE AGAIN! THE PAIN IS VISIBLE ON CODY’S FACE! THIS COULD BE IT!
Gavin Kirkman: SHE BEEN PUSHING THAT KNEE TO THE LIMIT ALL DAY AND BRIANNA MAY HAVE CREATED THE PERFECT STRATEGY TO SECURE THIS WIN! CODY IS STRUGGLING BUT, NOT IN ANY WAY GIVING UP! HE’D SOONER DIE THAN LET BRIANNNA MAKE HIM TAP OUT HERE IN FRONT OF VEENA ADAM! HE’S REACHING OUT…AND SNAGS THE BOTTOM ROPE! GREAT POSITIONING FROM CODY! BRIANNA HILL BREAKS THE HOLD BUT, HAS A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE HERE! SHE APPLIED SO MUCH PRESSURE TO THAT KNEE OF CODY, HE’S GOTTA THINK A STRATEGY AND FAST!CODY IS HOLDING HIS KNEE IN PAIN, HE IS CLEARLY IN HURT BY THAT KNEE THERE. CODY MAVERICK IS TRYING TO PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP CONSIDERING THAT KNEE HAS BEEN TWEAKED THE ENTIRE MATCH.
Eve: BRIANNA HILL SEEMS TO BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SAID KNEE, GRASPING IT AND SLAMMING IT STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE GROUND! CODY IS HOLDING HIS KNEE IN PAIN, TRYING TO CRAWL AWAY FROM BRIANNA HERE. BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING! BRIANNA HILL IS PREVENTING EVERY AND ANY ESCAPE ATTEMPT FROM CODY MAVERICK. SHE’S TAUNTING CODY, LOOKING DOWN AT HIM WITH A DEVIOUS SMIRK ON HER FACE. BRIANNA HILL DRAGS CODY BACK UP TO HIS FEET, KEEPING A TIGHT GRIP ON HIS WRIST AND HURLING INSULTS AT THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER. BRIANNA PULLS BACK THE HAND, LOOKING FOR A MAJOR SLAP HERE—
Deadprez: No sir! Cody Maverick catches Brianna Hill with a slap heard around the arena! My GOD was that slap vicious! Brianna Hill even has a red mark on her face. Brianna stumbles back from the slap, releasing her grip from Cody Maverick. but Cody Maverick doesn’t seem to be finished, he turns Brianna right back over and sends one thunderous strike after another! CODY IS SHOWING LITTLE TO NO REGARD FOR BRIANNA’S LIFE HERE. HE KEEPS REIGNING MULTIPLE STRIKES ACROSS THE SAME SPOT FROM BEFORE, BREAKING HER DOWN ONE FOREARM AT A TIME.
Veena Adams: He has some anger issues to work out, those strikes are definitely personal.
Gavin Kirkman: Brianna Hill stumbles back but Cody pulls her in once more, sending a more thunderous forearm straight to her jaw! Brianna Hill drops to her knees, clearly in pain here. Cody cares very little for Brianna and he’s putting that on display here. Another strike takes Brianna down! Cody Maverick pushed Brianna Hill to her knees and sent her face planting. That doesn’t seem to be all either, Brianna Hill is dragged up to her knees by the absolutely resilient Cody Maverick!
Eve: And Cody sends a thunderous kick to the chest before running to the opposite set of ropes, rebounding off of them and right at Brianna Hill- NO! BRIANNA LIFTED CODY AND TOSSED HIM OUTSIDE OF THE RING! CODY MAVERICK CRASHES DOWN HARD ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR. BRIANNA HILL SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN A LIKING TO THE PAIN CODY IS EXPERIENCING HERE. Brianna grasps onto the ropes and flings herself out of the ring, right onto Cody Maverick with a pescado plancha! Hill is quick to lift Maverick up and toss him inside the ring, climbing the apron and onto the top rope!
Gavin Kirkman: Cody is beginning to push himself back up onto his feet, looking up at Brianna…Brianna Hill meets Cody Maverick with an incredible missile dropkick straight to the face! Maverick is dropped down and he’s laid out flat! Brianna Hill has taken Cody Maverick down onto the ground. She rolls out of the ring and has eyes on The Sin City Superstar Cody Maverick! She grips the ropes…BRIANNA HILL SPRINGS OFF OF THE APRON AND ONTO THE TOP ROPE! SHE FLINGS HERSELF INTO THE RING IN THE FORM OF A ELBOW DROP TO THE-!
Eve: Wait a minute! Cody Maverick managed to catch him while she was floating downward. Cody Maverick catches Brianna Hill in the act with a triangle choke! The triangle choke has been applied! He’s got Brianna right where he wants him! Brianna Hill is placed in a rough spot here; she has nowhere to go. She might have to tap out here! Brianna Hill seems to be losing air here, reaching for anything imaginable, but it’s all out of reach! She can’t seem to grab onto the ropes; she’s been placed in an absolute dilemma here. However, she began making use of what she got. Brianna gets up on her feet and is beginning to lift Cody Maverick up!
Deadprez: POWERBOMB! POWERBOMB DRILLS CODY MAVERICK STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE GROUND! BRIANNA PULLS CODY UP WITH DANGEROUS INTENTIONS IN MIND! Hooking both arms and lifting him up with her SIGNATURE MOVE! “THE GRUDGE” TIGER DRIVER! SHE NAILS HIM! GETTING HIM IN THE COVER! THE COULD END THE MATCH!

Eve: BRIANNA MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE PIN! Maverick almost stole this match after and impressed Tiger Drive from Brianna! You can see the fear in Hill’s face, thinking she almost lost it there. Cody Maverick, moving off instincts alone, starts to move towards the corner. Brianna having to reel in Maverick! She has to get something going in this one, AS BRIANNA CHARGES AT CODY MAVERICK FULL SPEED– BUT CODY KICKS HER BACK WITH HIS BOOTS, THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR BEING CAREFUL, AS BRIANNA IS STUMBLING BACK— A SPINNING ENZIGURI KICK TO CODY MAVERICK IN THE CORNER, AS CODY IS ROCKED, THIS MAY BE THE TIME FOR BRIANNA HILL TO CAPITALIZE AND BEAT THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, IS IT GONNA BE TOUGH NIGHT, AS SHE SPRINGS INTO THE COVER!

Gavin Kirkman: BRIANNA PUSHES HIM OFF! A QUICK FIRE SUPERKICK GOING STRAIGHT TO THE JAW OF CODY! LEAVING HIM STAGGERING! Brianna runs to the ropes, rebounding looking for one fine maneuver to try to end Cody Maverick- BUT IS CAUGHT WITH A BOOT TO THE GUT AND A QUICK SIN CITY STUNNER! TAKING BRIANNA OFF HER FEET AND GOING FOR THE PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…“THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR” CODY MAVERICK!
Veena Adams: Finally, it’s over, took him long enough. I will say, he did pretty well in this match even if I was expecting WAY better. Good for him, he isn’t winning this title though.
Eve: Well despite Veena’s comments, I think both did amazing in this match and really showed their talents. Cody looked to send a strong message to Veena and did just that, even talking to her at ring side. Though it doesn’t seem like she has any care for what he has to say.
( Cody continues to celebrate but as he turns his back to Veena, she slips off her heels and slides into the ring! As Maverick turns around, he is quickly sent down to the mat with a title shot to the skull! Veena laughs, wiping her Championship clean as she steps on Cody’s chest and raises her title! )
Gavin Kirkman: Despite a heelish match, Veena still shows why she is Champion! Knocking out her Challenger and standing tall in the ring! Will this be the sight at Last Stand?
(Veena smiles while posing with the title as the footage fades to the backstage area.)
(Showdown comes back from commercials, the cameras quickly move forward towards backstage as fast as they can and turn to focus towards a woman that everyone was used to seeing by this point, and that was Auburn Ware, of course. She sped through the hallway with an incredibly annoyed and angry expression on her face as she ended up suddenly appearing out of nowhere and attacking Miku after her match like that. The problem was is that it was said that she was not medically cleared yet to be able to push her body like that and get in the ring yet, but she did it anyway.)
(That is what caused Kyra Phillips to rush quickly down the hallway she was in, as Kyra saw Auburn and rushed towards her as fast as she could, the cameraman trying his best to catch up with Kyra as Kyra finally stood right beside Auburn.)
Kyra Phillips: AUBURN! Miss Auburn! Wait up!
(Auburn quickly stopped on her tracks once she saw Kyra appear out of nowhere and Auburn’s expression soured a lot as she saw Kyra approach, she tried her best to rub her eyes and make sure to not snap on Kyra because yeah, she was not the woman she was angry at here after all and then she just tried to calm down as she moved quickly to respond.)
Auburn Ware: Kyra, I do not have time for this.
Kyra Phillips: No, quick, I just need you to tell me, why did you end up doing that to Miku Sakai earlier in the night? You are supposed to be resting up after what has happened and not force your body-
Auburn Ware: I don’t really give a damn what they have to say to me and how much my body can handle, this is more important to me, having to defend my honor and my pride when heading into this scuffle with such an awful and disgusting woman like Miku Sakai, have you not seen what she has done to me recently? Hell, ever since what ended up happening at Midsummer Massacre, I have been non-stop on trying to get back at her and make her pay for what she has done to me, make her realize how much of a flawed person she truly is without any chance of being able to redeem herself, she makes my blood boil so much that she pushed me to get off of my bed and get here, even with feeling pain on my body, to beat her ass yet again because she deserves every single punch that I deliver right on her stupid face.
Kyra Phillips: Auburn, I understand that you are angry and that you believe that you have been treated wrong for quite a while now but doing this is not healthy at all, speaking off the record and in my opinion, that is just not a good decision-
Auburn Ware: And to me, that IS a good decision, Kyra, it is a good decision to take my own path and make some kind of difference, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, I want to be able to end this, all of this, and I don’t care how hard I push my body, as long as I can still breathe and I can still fight, I am cleared to fight in every single way, and that is what I am going to make sure happens at The Last Stand, all of what I am going to do to Miku is deserved, and the win that I am going to get over her will be deserved in every single way as well! And if you think I am done tonight already, then you are very much wrong-
Kennedy Street: Please stop this, Auburn.
(Auburn suddenly stopped talking once she turned over and her expression grew more annoyed as Kennedy suddenly arrived with a bunch of security guards right behind her. Kennedy crossed her arms in genuine anger, and she raised up her voice with an annoyed tone to it.)
Kennedy Street: What the hell do you even think you are doing?!
Auburn Ware: Why do you even ask? Is that not crystal clear at all to you in any way? I am trying to do-
Kennedy Street: No, you are not going to do anything at all! You are going to get out of this arena as soon as possible!
Auburn Ware: What?!
Kennedy Street: Look Auburn, Kennie was proud of you when she saw you appear in Showdown the first time and show out against all of the wrestlers in her roster, and show how much of a bright star you are supposed to be but these past few months you have been nothing but a pain of my ass! Costing Showdown the chance to get a complete sweep at Territorial Invasion and then not even respecting the limits of your own body like that? I am not going to let your future be put at risk and I will be damned if I allow you to suffer such a serious injury that hinders your career like that. I am not letting you stay here any longer.
(Auburn was absolutely furious as she ended up hearing those words from Kennedy, she gritted her teeth and raised up her own voice.)
Auburn Ware: NO! There is no way in hell I am letting you stop me in any way! Miku Sakai has to pay, and I am going to make sure I am the one who delivers the consequences to her-
Kennedy Street: Auburn, you are not medically cleared! Go back to the hotel, honey! OR ELSE.
Auburn Ware: Or else what?!
Kennedy Street: You will suffer even bigger consequences that you are planning to do towards Miku.
(Auburn’s eyes widened in shock as she ended up hearing that and sadly, she was forced to bite her tongue as she heard that.)
Kennedy Street: I got you an Uber to bring you back as well, please rest.
Auburn Ware: Tsk.
(Auburn simply scoffed in response and annoyingly, she had to let the security guards move with her and she had to follow them out of the arena as her plan to do more to Miku was stopped like that, and on that scene, Showdown fades to ringside and Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Singles Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: Introducing first… From Montréal, Québec, Canada. Weighing in at 225 pounds… RYAN… JOSEEEEEEEEEPH WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!
( Olé by The Bouncing Souls plays over the sound system of the arena and the fans erupt in cheers as Ryan Joseph Wilson appears on stage on stage looking pumped and ready for a fight! He high-fives fans as he moves closer to ringside, takes the occasional selfie with members of the crowd before moving past one of the cameramen and saying to the camera ‘Let’s Fucking GO!’ and walks on the ring apron. Respectfully wipes his boots and goes through the ropes before moving to a corner, climbing on the turnbuckle, and rousing the crowd up yell ”OLÉÉÉÉÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉÉÉÉÉ!!!” along with the song as the fans chant as well.)
(After a bit, Ryan’s theme song is replaced as ‘Vroom’ by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price starts to play throughout the arena as cheers can be heard at the sight of Nikki Kimura as she starts to head towards the ring being accompanied by Silas Mason as she prepares herself to take on her opponent here tonight.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent… From West Portland, Oregon… Weighing in at 120 pounds… Accompanied by Silas Mason… She is… “THE ANCHOR”… NIKKIIIIIIIII KIMURAAAAAAAAA!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: That’s the sound of the bell as both these elitists slowly approach each other, show great sportsmanship by shaking hands, and immediately lock up as both Nikki Kimura and Ryan Wilson are trying to get the advantage early in the match. Ryan Wilson is able to break the lock up first as he quickly picks up Nikki Kimura for a Backbreaker! What a way to start things off as Ryan Wilson seems to want to keep things grounded, he notices the proximity to the corner, and heads that way as he looks to execute a Split Legged Moonsault… Connecting flawlessly on Nikki Kimura before quickly beginning to mount himself on top of her for some Ground and Pound action! Lefts and rights as Ryan Wilson keeps the pressure on Nikki Kimura before getting off from her and quickly picking her up… It seems Raeangel Guzman is going to be joining us in the commentary booth instead of simply watching the match itself! Welcome Raeangel! What’s your thoughts on the match so far?
Raeangel Guzman: They both suck. They’re both terrible. Just the absolute worst of the worst. The sooner this match ends the better because I absolutely can’t stand either of them, I mean look at Ryan Wilson’s attempt to lift up Nikki Kimura as he looks to hit what looks like a Brainbuster, but of course his technique is just horrible so of course Nikki Kimura is able to slip away and hit Ryan Wilson with an Arm Drag… Not strong enough to actually put him down as Ryan Wilson is back on one knee, but Nikki Kimura with similar terrible technique as Ryan Wilson able to see that as she connects with a dropkick that lays him down on the mat. Yawn, this is all the same boring stuff we’ve seen from both these two, when are we going to see some real action, and can it be quick this match has been sooooo boring right now.
Gavin Kirkland: Well if you want excitement you should scoot a bit closer to me… Nikki Kimura quickly keeps the actions going however as she hits a Standing Moonsault on Ryan Wilson as Silas Mason watches along of course accompanying Nikki Kimura as these two have been talking for a few weeks now. Will Sila Mason be the secret ingredient that Nikki Kimura needed to advance her career at a faster pace here in EAW? Only time will tell, but what we do know right now is that Nikki Kimura is trying her hardest to put Ryan Wilson down for good as she picks up Ryan, Irish Whips him across the ring, and as Ryan rebounds she connects with a Running Crossbody of her own! She’s not done just yet, quickly getting up, starts to pick up Ryan Wilson, and she plants him down on the mat with a Gotch Style Piledriver as she goes for the cover after the nonstop offense she’s delivered here tonight to Ryan Wilson! Will she be able to end things quickly here tonight?!? The referee goes and checks the fall!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-!!!
Deadprez: Not even a two as Ryan Wilson is able to kick out. I love the spirit that Nikki Kimura has, but it’s gonna take more than what she’s done to put a workhorse and veteran like Ryan Wilson down. Clearly though, she knows this as she starts climbing up to the top rope, and quickly dives off looking to connect with that signature Double Stomp off the top rope… Ryan Wilson though able to roll out of the way, Nikki Kimura rolling back up after that failed Double Stomp, but Ryan more than ready as he connects with a Dropkick of his own that sends Nikki Kimura back onto the ropes! This gives Ryan Wilson the opportunity to use the ropes to his advantage as he picks up Nikki Kimura and connects with a Stun Gun, finally laying Nikki down on the mat. Real NASTY moves right there, but you ain’t going nowhere in EAW without getting a bit NASTY inside that ring and you can trust me on that! Looks like Ryan is now looking for high risk and high reward just like Nikki was a few moments ago as he starts climbing to the top rope, makes some adjustments, and he dives off connecting with a beautiful Diving Elbow Drop on Nikki Kimura! Ryan Wilson now going for the cover as the referee starts the count! Will this be all it takes to win?!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-!!!
Referee: ROPE BREAK!!!
Raeangel Guzman: Looks like the little hypocrite just got saved by her new friend, Silas Mason as he put her foot on the rope to help her out a bit. Whatever. Ryan Wilson gets back up as he picks up Nikki Kimura and hits her with an Uppercut Québécois. I know the names, I do my research, but hey I’m still the bad guy here even though I care more about this industry than they ever will… Anyway, that Uppercut sends Nikki Kimura a bit back as she rebounds off the ropes, Ryan Wilson anticipating Nikki Kimura so he can connect with another move of his, but his timing is way off as he leaves himself open for Nikki Kimura to use the momentum to her advantage to connect with a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT on Ryan Wilson. Little suggestion here for you Nikki; maybe next time make sure to spike that idiot’s head harder on the mat so you do something of value for the wrestling world and end this loser’s career okay?
Eve: Wow, don’t you think that’s a bit harsh Raeangel? Regardless of how anyone feels about these two, that was a beautiful counter from Nikki Kimura as she’s back on the offense thanks to it! Silas Mason is very proud of what he’s seeing here tonight as Nikki Kimura picks up Ryan Wilson, Irish Whips him towards the ropes once again, and as he rebounds off them she connects with an Arm Drag that sends Ryan Wilson towards the corner. Ryan Wilson starts to pick himself up with assistance from the ropes as he leans a bit in the corner, but that wasn’t the smartest thing to do as Nikki Kimura comes in connecting with a Corner Dropkick that lays out Ryan Wilson down on the mat! Keeping the offense coming, Nikki used the corner ropes to assist her in connecting with a Springboard Moonsault on Ryan Wilson! Ryan Wilson not giving up though as he tries to get back up after that Springboard Moonsault, but Nikki Kimura is not going to let Ryan Wilson get back up as she connects with a Punt Kick right to his head! OUCH!
Gavin Kirkland: You can say that again, but it looks like Nikki Kimura wants to keep the pressure on Ryan Wilson as she picks him up, Irish Whips him towards the ropes once again, and as she runs the ropes she attempts to hit Ryan Wilson with another Running Crossbody, but Ryan Wilson more than ready as he quickly catches her and just as quickly as he caught her, Ryan is able to put her down on the mat with a Standing Moonsault Fallaway Slam right in the middle of the ring! Showdown truly is the brand where we wrestle because that right there is some REAL graps as the cool kids like myself of course say towards moments like that! The fans are getting more and more excited as the action continues here tonight and they get even louder when they see Ryan Wilson getting back up on his feet while dragging Nikki Kimura to the corner, picking her back up on her feet, and takes a few steps back before running towards Nikki and connecting with a Monkey Flip that sends her flying across the ring! Nikki Kimura gets back up with help from the ropes, but as she turns around Ryan Wilson greets her with a vicious Clothesline that almost knocks her head off her shoulders! He isn’t done though as he quickly picks her up back up and puts her immediately back down on the mat with a Brainbuster as he goes for the cover and the referee starts the count once again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOO-!!!
Deadprez: That’s a kick out right there brother as Nikki Kimura still has fight left in her! Ryan Wilson seems impressed with Nikki’s efforts here tonight, but even then he knows that only one person can win here tonight as he starts to head to the top rope once again, takes a dive, and looks to connect with a NASTY Frog Splash… KNEES UP! Nikki Kimura able to save herself as she put her knees up just in time as Ryan Wilson is attempting to catch his breath after that, but Nikki ain’t letting that happen as she starts to work on Ryan Wilson’s arms by dropping knee after knee on them before picking up Ryan Wilson and connecting with an Armbreaker on his right arm! Ryan Wilson is still up though trying to fight through the pain of it all, this gives Nikki an opening as she grabs Ryan Wilson and plants him back down on the mat with a DDT! Kip-up from Nikki Kimura as the adrenaline is clearly pumping through her system while she heads to the top rope once again and takes a quick dive connecting with a Frog Splash of her own! Nikki Kimura now going for the cover as the referee gets in position!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: Ryan Wilson able to kick out right at the two count! Silas Mason is not too happy about that kick out as Nikki Kimura starts to get up, but Ryan Wilson using his veteran ring awareness rolls out of the ring to catch his breath… Ryan starts to crawl towards the announcers table as he slowly picks himself up, Nikki Kimura on the other hand starts to run the ropes, and as Ryan Wilson is fully back up he looks at Silas Mason who’s clearly distracting Ryan Wilson without Nikki’s knowledge of it before turning around as Nikki Kimura connects with a Suicide Dive on a distracted Ryan Wilson! Silas Mason applauds as he starts telling Nikki Kimura that she’s doing a great job before she throws Ryan Wilson back inside the ring. Nikki Kimura gets back in as well as she tries to picks up Ryan Wilson, but is instead greeted with a stiff Headbutt from Ryan that sends her towards the ropes and as she slightly rebounds off them, Ryan is more than prepared as he connects with a FaceBreaker Knee Smash on Nikki Kimura!
Gavin Kirkland: What a brutal strike from Ryan! Nikki looks stunned as she falls to the mat. I CAN SAVE YOU NIKKI DON’T WORRY I’M COMING!!! Unless you wouldn’t want me to do that Raeangel or should I say My Angel, that’s ángel in Spanish for you uneducated… Anyways, Ryan quickly follows up, picking her up and connects with a Butterfly Suplex! He’s relentless! Ryan is taking control now, and the crowd is fully behind him! Not done just yet however as Ryan is looking to keep Nikki down for good as he drags her to the corner once again, picks her up, and connects with a Helluva Kick! That’s going to leave a mark but Ryan doesn’t care as he goes for the cover again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: Another kick out! Nikki is showing incredible resilience, but Ryan is not letting up. He picks her up and delivers a powerful Uppercut Québécois, sending her staggering to the ropes once again… Ryan Wilson is not stopping in his tracks as he’s looking to set up for something big! Ryan waits for Nikki Kimura to rebound off the ropes again, picks her up, and is looking to connect with “La Bombeu Bleu” or the Blue Thunder Bomb as some may know it…This could be it! Ryan’s looking like he’s about to connect- NO! Nikki is able to reverse it into a Hurricanrana out of nowhere!!! What a counter! Nikki needs to capitalize on this moment!
Raeangel Guzman: If she actually can…
Deadprez: Nikki is slowly getting back to her feet, and Ryan is struggling as well. They both look exhausted, but Nikki’s starting to build some momentum. She hits the ropes as she connects with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Incredible athleticism! That was straight up NASTY as Nikki is fired up now! She follows it up with a kick to Ryan’s midsection and locks him in a front facelock! She’s looking to go for that DDT. Can she plant Ryan down on the match with it?!? Yes she does as it connects before quickly going for the cover once again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Raeangel Guzman: No way! Ryan kicks out again! This match is dragging!
Deadprez: You have to admire the effort from both competitors, but Nikki is starting to get closer to that win as her offense is clearly taking a toll on poot Ryan. She’s heading back to the top rope! This could be a mistake if Ryan gets up in time… Nikki steadies herself, I think she’s looking to end things now as she leaps looking to connect with her Signature Moonsault… NOT SO FAST!!! Ryan has his knees up as he just saved this match for himself!
Raeangel Guzman: Seriously? End this miserable display already!!! This is BOOOOORING!!! Wow, who would’ve guessed… Ryan is back up and he picks her up for a Brainbuster. He should just end this already! Ryan picks up Nikki once again, but Nikki slips out of his grasp and counters with a small package.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan kicks out just in time! They’re both exhausted, but Nikki’s showing her fighting spirit! The crowd is on their feet! What a match! Nikki is getting back up, and she’s signaling for something big! Could it be the Kamigoye Knee Strike?!! She’s lining it up! Ryan is getting to his feet as she looks to connect with it, BUT RYAN WILSON IS ABLE TO DODGE OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Raeangel Guzman: Come on! Get it over with!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan responds with a Running Knee Strike as both competitors are down again as they’ve taken each other to their limit here tonight… They’ve given everything! Who will rise first? Nikki stirs first! She’s up on one knee! Ryan is slowly rolling towards the ropes, trying to pull himself up! This is the moment of truth! Ryan Wilson picks himself up first while Nikki is still trying to get up, but Silas Mason once again distracting Ryan Wilson which allows Nikki Kimura to get back up to her feet as Silas once again stops before Nikki can notice anything as both Ryan Wilson and Nikki are back up and start trading blows back and forth! WAIT THE LIGHTS ARE DIMMING WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?
(As the lights around starts to dim, both Nikki Kimura and Ryan Wilson stop as Ryan is looking around, highly alerted at this before the sight of druids can be seen as the group of them slide into the ring and start to beat down on both Nikki Kimura and Ryan Wilson.)
Raeangel Guzman: Perfect timing…
Eve: It looks like Raeangel is finally leaving the commentary table as she drags out Nikki Kimura out of the ring and starts to beat her down while the druids keep beating up poor Ryan Wilson…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the match has officially been declared a draw as it has been thrown out after both elitist were attacked!
Eve: What a terrible way to end such a great match but it doesn’t seem like anyone is looking to stop this chaos anytime soon…
(The druids continue to beat up Ryan Wilson inside the ring while Raeangel Guzman continues her assault on Nikki Kimura as the scene fades elsewhere.)
(The scene opens up inside the La Familia locker room where Luis De La Rosa, Brianna Hill, Diego De La Rosa, and Javier De La Rosa are seen talking to each other. There’s a very tense feeling in the air that grows once Roberto De La Rosa enters the locker room with Esmeralda De La Rosa by his side. He looks around the room a bit before raising his arm, quickly putting it back down, and starts to speak up.)
Roberto De La Rosa: So Luisito… It’s been a week since we both last talked. Esmeralda told me to think things through before speaking to the rest of La Familia, I did as she suggested, y ahora tengo unas cosas que decir, and now I have some things to discuss with all of us being here besides Raeangel Guzman as she’s busy at the moment reminding a la gente, the people that La Familia aren’t a joke.
Luis De La Rosa: Well, I’m glad that w-
Roberto De La Rosa: Did I say I was finish carnal? Now… As I was going to say; last week we were so close to a very big victory that would have shown the world that La Familia is undeniably the hottest asset Saturday Night Showdown has, but instead you know what happened?
Brianna Hill: You guys lost?
Roberto De La Rosa: Exactly. We lost in a match we had victory just a few inches away. That shouldn’t be happening and yet eso es lo que pasó, that’s exactly what happened. I’m not mad at what occurred that night, simplemente estoy decepcionado, I am simply disappointed…
Luis De La Rosa: It’s okay mi hermano, we’ll get them next time for sure!
(Luis De La Rosa attempts to go for a pat on the back on Roberto before Roberto puts his hand up and slowly pushes Luis’ whole arm away from his personal space. Roberto clears his throat before continuing to speak as tension seems to grow between Luis, Brianna, and Roberto.)
Roberto De La Rosa: I am disappointed at the fact that the supposed strategist of this group fails to see that the reason we lost last week was because of his own mistake. You’re mi hermano, you’re my brother Luis, but last week was all on you. You made a stupid decision and that decision cost us big time. A win over Elysium would have shown Saturday Night Showdown and Kennedy Street especially that La Familia belongs at the top of this brand, but instead you allowed a freshly formed team to beat us instead of allowing El Padrino De La EAW, the Godfather of EAW handle business like I always do.
Brianna Hill: It’s just one loss Roberto, plus we ended up getting a huge reward for our hard work afterwards with a Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifier match that guarantees La Familia for sure gets a spot in that match and putting us closer to becoming world champions and showing the world that La Familia truly is la mejor, the absolute best.
Roberto De La Rosa: You’re right about that Bri; we have been given an opportunity to right our wrong by qualifying for that Extreme Elimination Chamber at The Last Stand. All three of us will face each other for that opportunity, most people will assume this will cause friction between La Familia as a whole, but we won’t let that be manifested into reality and you know why that is?
Luis De La Rosa: Por que somos familia, because we are family?
Brianna Hill: Our family bond is stronger than any other bond in EAW?
Roberto De La Rosa: No. We won’t allow that to be manifested por que yo soy El Padrino De La EAW, because I am the Godfather of EAW! Esta es MI Familia… MÍA, this is MY family… MINE! I am the sole reason that La Familia even exists here in EAW and best believe I will not watch as something I created gets torn apart by puros idiotas que no saben nada, idiots who know absolutely nothing! Don’t get me wrong; we are family and our bond is unlike any other but we also don’t cost ourselves victories and opportunities and what happened last week? Luis cost us big time even if we got this opportunity at The Last Stand after the loss.
(Luis De La Rosa stares at Roberto De La Rosa with an angry demeanor on his face as he speaks up.)
Luis De La Rosa: Aye, cálmate güey, we lost one match and now you want to act like you’re better than us?!? We win some and we lose some carnal. What happened to losses doesn’t matter in La Familia huh?!? Did you forget that saying or is that just another catchphrase you’re trying to sell to esos idiotas out there for this little “La Familia” project of “yours” huh?
Brianna Hill: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves… Roberto is probably just not thinking things thoroughly; after all he is El Padrino, he’s got a lot on his plate as it, but Luis is also right Roberto. You’re acting like you’re the leader around here when you yourself have stated countless of times that La Familia has no leaders and now you’re trying to put yourself above us as well so what’s up with that hermano?
Roberto De La Rosa: You’re right. You’re absolutely right Bri… I am sorry for trying to push us forward as a unit by doing the necessary as we always talk about and setting everyone straight! It’s time we get our shit together and start representing La Raza properly before another loss gives these idiots in the back something else to look down at us for okay? I am El Padrino for a reason. I call the shots and ustedes mis hermanos follow up on them; it’s that simple. We will continue to stand together as a family, we will continue to push ourselves for the better of our familia, and we will make sure that all of Showdown belongs to us soon enough and that starts at The Last Stand! We’ve got a big match ahead of us and best believe I have no intentions of losing that match because I belong inside that chamber as El Padrino De La EAW, the Godfather of EAW! I’m not asking either of you to simply lay down; I’m simply suggesting that come The Last Stand brings everything you’ve got but when the time is right do what is best for La Familia or I’m going to have to put you both back in your place in this family, you understand? We have to stay united but it’s time I also show you a bit of tough love in the process because clearly only being supportive of everything you both do isn’t cutting it anymore. Now with that being said, it’s time to head out… We’ve got a match to get to and best believe that I expect both of you to do your absolute best out there got it? Hopefully Raeangel can meet us on the way there…
(Roberto De La Rosa walks out of the locker room with Esmeralda by his side first as Luis De La Rosa is seen rolling his eyes before following from behind while Brianna Hill shakes her head disapproving of what just had occur before she too follows Roberto from behind as the scene fades to black elsewhere.)
(Showdown returns from a commercial break, showing the crowd getting themselves ready for the upcoming action. Gina Roman appears on the screen once again to announce the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(‘PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE’ by Peso Pluma (feat. Cardi B) hits the PA system as Roberto makes his way to the ring, with La Familia following close behind. Roberto turns around to face them, signaling with his hand and waving them off. They slowly nod and step back through the curtain.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY LA FAMILIA!… FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!… EL PADRINO!… ROBERTOOOOOOOOOO!… DE!… LA!… ROSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
(Roberto slowly appears on the scene, looking up at the ring as he carefully approaches and steps inside, preparing himself for the match. ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by 2Pac replaces his theme, signaling the arrival of TLA. Draped in his luxurious entrance coat, TLA makes his way out with the Answers World Championship gold around his waist. He stares up at Roberto De La Rosa, expressionless, before making his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!… FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA!… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS!… HE’S THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!… LA PANTERA SEXUAL!… HE IS!… T!… L!… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
(TLA slowly steps into the ring, removes his belt, and hands it to the referee, while Roberto locks eyes with him at the center of the ring. Both men retreat to their corners, immediately getting themselves ready for the bell to ring.)
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND HERE WE GO! Both TLA and De La Rosa rush out of their corners toward each other, delivering simultaneous dropkicks! Both perform handstand kip-ups to get back on their feet. Roberto attempts a second dropkick, only to be met with the same idea from TLA!
Deadprez: They spring back to their feet again, with TLA charging at Roberto—only to be stopped by a kick to the gut, sending him stumbling toward the ropes. Roberto swings for a clothesline from hell!
Eve: TLA ducks underneath and runs straight toward the ropes. TLA rebounds off the ropes, going for a Hurricanrana but Roberto lands on his feet! Roberto quickly scouts TLA and goes for the Mexican Destroyer—but TLA flips him over!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto somehow lands on his feet again. TLA rolls him up with a schoolboy, sending Roberto down to both knees, perfectly set for another Mexican Destroyer attempt… But Roberto survives by shoving him out of the way!
(Crowd gives both men a quick standing ovation for what they’ve accomplished so far. Both TLA and Roberto lock eyes, catching their breath as they size each other up.)
Gavin Kirkland: What a performance these two have been putting on so far, but the situation quickly takes a turn as Roberto nails a hard elbow smash, landing the first shot right on TLA!
Eve: TLA shakes off the pain and fires back with an elbow of his own, sending Roberto stumbling toward the ropes. Roberto comes back with a big boot that connects across TLA’s jaw, but TLA immediately responds with one of his own!
Deadprez: Roberto follows up with a right-hand slap across TLA’s jaw, and TLA answers with a slap of his own… Both men are now exchanging simultaneous slaps!… BUT ROBERTO REFUSING! ROBERTO ISN’T FINISHED AS HE AIMS TO TAKE THE CHAMPION DOWN WITH A ENZUIGIRI AND IT LANDS CLEAN!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto is a man on a mission, recovering quickly after the enzuigiri and charging toward the ropes, rebounding back toward TLA-
Eve: TLA CATCHES HIM MID-RUN, SHOVING HIS HAND INTO ROBERTO’S THROAT, AIMING TO LOCK IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW!
Deadprez: TLA tries to slam him down… ROBERTO MIRACULOUSLY LANDS ON HIS FEET RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, FLIPPING OUT OF THE HOLD AND CATCHING TLA IN HIS GRASP! Roberto plants him with a Saito Suplex, sending TLA crashing to the mat! Roberto immediately secures the cover after the suplex connects!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: TLA kicks out at two! Roberto looks back, visibly frustrated that the Saito Suplex wasn’t enough to put TLA away after all the damage he’s inflicted so far!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto locks in a headlock, pressing down hard while delivering brutal right-handed strikes to the top of TLA’s skull, attempting to break him down further.
Eve: He keeps hammering away, hoping to knock TLA unconscious, as the referee stays close, monitoring the situation carefully. Roberto finally releases the headlock and sends TLA to the mat with a snapmare, leaving him seated and vulnerable. Roberto charges toward the ropes, rebounds, and sprints back… DRIVING A RUNNING BOOT INTO TLA’S FOREHEAD, SENDING HIM CRASHING DOWN ONCE AGAIN!
Deadprez: And now, Roberto directs his focus toward the Answers World Champion, making a bold statement. He plants his right boot over TLA’s skull, adding insult to injury by disrespecting his fallen opponent!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto drags his boot across TLA’s head, rubbing it in while TLA lies helpless on the mat. You can tell right now by hearing the sound of the EAW Universe. Crowd erupts in boos and furious at the disrespect shown to their fan-favorite!
(Roberto spreads both arms wide, basking in the reaction from the crowd as he smirks and shakes his head in satisfaction. He glances back at TLA, who is struggling to make a comeback from the mat.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) Siempre me gustaste, TLA! Eres un héroe para nuestro país, pero con cada día que pasa te has convertido más en una broma! Es triste!
Gavin Kirkland: Some verbal addressing from Roberto, with no shame, as he staggers towards the ropes once again and looks to bounce off, possibly setting up to cut TLA down with the Spear!…
Eve: TLA ANTICIPATED IT, SENDING ROBERTO CRASHING OVER HIS OWN HEAD TO THE GROUND WITH A TIGER SUPLEX, CURVING THE MOMENTUM INTO A QUICK COUNTER!
Deadprez: A smart move by TLA there! Very smart move! Roberto didn’t see that coming at all, and now he’s clutching his back in pain, struggling to make a comeback from the ground. TLA is back on his feet again, charging at Roberto, who’s already in pain… HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: And Roberto De La Rosa powers out at two, just barely, because the Answers World Champion could have stolen that one from him!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA pops back to his feet immediately and now slowly stalks Roberto from behind while he’s at it! Roberto, still holding onto the rope, is trying to make a comeback from it. TLA continues to close in, waiting for his chance… ZIG ZAG!
Eve: NO! Roberto hangs onto the ropes, causing TLA to slip and fall! He couldn’t take Roberto down with the ropes holding him back, allowing Roberto to survive! Roberto quickly runs over and turns TLA down into a jackknife roll immediately! He’s going to steal it instead!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: Woah close! TLA manages to kick out of there as well! Roberto gets his footing back, rising to his feet, and comes face-to-face with TLA this time.
Deadprez: Roberto immediately steps back to the ropes and comes charging at TLA, swinging his right arm out for a Clothesline from Hell again!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA quickly ducks under it and fires a sharp right hook across Roberto’s jaw, stopping him in his tracks! And here goes TLA, unloading with a fast striking combo, hitting left to right!
Eve: Jabs to the gut, uppercuts to the chin, and a hard palm strike sends Roberto spinning the other way! TLA runs to the side, leaps to the second rope, and springs off… MOONSAULT! BUT HE LANDS ON ROBERTO’S RIGHT SHOULDER INSTEAD!
Deadprez: ROBERTO QUICKLY RUSHES TO THE SECOND ROPE WHILE HOLDING ONTO TLA AND COMES CRASHING DOWN WITH THE ISLAND DRIVER! EL ÁNGEL AZUL! KNOWN AS THE BLUE ANGEL IN ENGLISH TAKING TLA DOWN! HERE’S THE COVER BY ROBERTO!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: AND TLA STILL KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: A great back-and-forth contest so far, with Roberto clearly struggling to put TLA away. No matter what Roberto throws at him, TLA manages to survive and stay in the fight. De La Rosa is now finding his way back to his feet, while TLA has only managed to get to his knees.
Eve: Roberto slowly moves into position, shaking off his right hand… A BLISTERING CHOP ACROSS TLA’S CHEST! Roberto follows up with a sharp elbow smash, then turns to the side and connects with a back elbow right across TLA’s chin! Roberto spins around, throwing his right leg over—KNEE-BALANCED ENZUIGIRI IN COMBINATION!
Deadprez: TLA is knocked back down to both knees again! Roberto leans against TLA, aiming straight for the ropes in front of him. He takes off, setting up for the Springboard Reverse Frankensteiner! ROBERTO LOOKS TO PLANT THE WHITE ROSE ON TLA!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT TLA ISN’T LETTING IT HAPPEN! HE TRACKS ROBERTO CLOSELY, RUSHING TO THE SECOND ROPE AND GRABBING HOLD OF HIM. ROBERTO TRIES TO BREAK FREE, BUT—ZIG ZAG OFF THE SECOND ROPE! BOTH MEN CRASH HARD TO THE MAT! TLA ROLLS ROBERTO OVER FOR THE COVER! THIS IS IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO POWERS OUT AT TWO! TLA came dangerously close to securing the win, but Roberto saved himself from trouble by kicking out just in time. Both men are locked in a battle, determined to find a way to win this match.
Eve: TLA rises to the occasion, stalking Roberto, who struggles to get back to his feet. TLA stands tall in front of him, his right arm ready to deliver a wake-up call for Roberto to rise and shine!… TLA CHARGES IN FOR THE RUNNING VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT BUT ROBERTO CATCHES HIS ARM AND ROLLS HIM INTO A BACKSLIDE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: AND NO! TLA still manages to kick out just in time!
Deadprez: He looks for a second attempt at the Mexican Uppercut as soon as he gets back to his feet! Roberto immediately counters with a Judo Throw and sending TLA down into a seated position!… ROBERTO SPRINTS TOWARD THE ROPES, REBOUNDS OFF THEM, AND AIMS FOR A BASEMENT DROPKICK—BUT TLA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto also quickly gets to his feet after missing the dropkick, but TLA leaps over him… HURRICANRANA! TLA attempts to take Roberto down, but Roberto counters the move and sunset flipping TLA and rolling back to his feet while holding onto TLA’s legs!…. DEADLIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND… AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN WITH A SIT OUT POWERBOMB! ROBERTO LANDS THE POWERBOMB ON TLA AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NO! COVER AFTER COVER, TLA STILL KICKS OUT AT TWO!
Eve: Hey look, who’s there?
(Loud boos echoed across the arena as Charlie Marr suddenly appeared on the stage, standing there and watching the two men wrestle. Charlie began walking toward the ring, passing the ringside area, and eventually joined the commentary team. Both wrestlers, now on their knees, looked toward him in confusion.)
Gavin Kirkland: Seems like Charlie Marr would like to join us here tonight on the commentary team. Hey, Charlie, how are you doing?
Charlie Marr: I was doing just fine until I clocked I’ve got to breathe the same air as you, Gavin! You’re the last person I’d ever want speaking to me, you filthy, disgusting creep!
Eve: :mjlol:
Deadprez: :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry:
Charlie Marr: Right then, let’s crack on with this, shall we? What do we have here? A couple of right muppets squaring off. Roberto De La Rosa, the biggest failure ever to crawl out of his mother’s womb and TLA, a joke of a world champion. I wonder which one gonna come out on top tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto and TLA regain their footing and square off once again. Roberto steadies himself, tightening his stance and shaking his arm loose, preparing to unleash a forearm smash… and he connects with it across the side of TLA’s jaw!
Eve: TLA remains unfazed, turning around and firing back with a forearm smash of his own! De La Rosa grabs hold of TLA and delivers another forearm smash! TLA responds with the Very Mexican Uppercut, sending Roberto stumbling back, trying to create as much distance as possible! Wow!
Deadprez: The force of the massive uppercut causes Roberto to stumble all the way through the ropes and crash to the outside of the ring! What an impressive maneuver by TLA, forcing his opponent out of the ring!
Charlie Marr: Look at Roberto go, mate, he’s pathetic! I’m not exactly a fan of either of them, but let’s be honest, the outcome’s obvious, and one of them’s bound to scrape a win… Actually, scratch that. I’d rather see both of them lose. It’d be an absolute disgrace to watch either of those clowns come out on top.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA looks like he’s backing off now, stepping away from where Roberto’s standing at ringside, and he’s making his way toward the top corner. What’s he got in mind here? Hang on… I think I know what he’s planning!… AND THERE HE GOES! TLA sprints along the rope, leaps across the corner, and bounces from one top rope to the other—DIVING TO THE OUTSIDE AND CRASHING RIGHT INTO ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WITH WALK DA WALK! WHAT A BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF HIGH-FLYING SKILL FROM TLA!
Charlie Marr: You see this, lads? This isn’t wrestling, it’s fucking gymnastics. TLA can’t wrestle, and neither can Roberto De La Rosa. Both of them are out there doing tricks on one another, and I’m absolutely knackered watching the crowd pretend they’re enjoying something they clearly don’t.
Deadprez: TLA on the outside, getting back to his feet, and now tossing Roberto back into the ring, locking eyes with his Last Stand challenger—just like Charlie Marr himself. Oi, Charlie, I think he heard what you just said!
Charlie Marr: So what? That’s YOU problem, TLA. I only speak the truth. Sorry, not sorry if it’s got you feeling butthurt about your lack of wrestling ability—something the greatest wrestler alive, like myself, possesses in abundance.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA slides back into the ring, looking to maintain control. He knows that going for a cover at this point wouldn’t accomplish much, so he’s heading back up to the ropes while De La Rosa is still down.
Eve: Roberto clings to TLA, refusing to let go, gripping the back of his pants despite his current condition. TLA glances back, trying to shake him off, but slowly stops, watching what Roberto is up to.
(Roberto grabs TLA’s leg, pulling himself closer as he struggles to recover, clearly exhausted and hurting from the match so far.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (Off-Mic) No. No huyas ahora. Te quiero cara a cara, AHORA MISMO!
(SLAP!)
Deadprez: OH AND THAT MIGHT JUST DO IT!
Charlie Marr: Oh, what a drama queen! Is this even wrestling anymore? What kind of soap opera have I just witnessed???
Gavin Kirkland: TLA spins around, looking to land a Pimp Slap across Roberto De La Rosa’s jaw, but Roberto ducks under TLA’s arm and sprints toward the ropes behind him. He quickly rebounds off—SPEAR! HE HITS IT! TALÓN DE ÁGUILA JUST CUT TLA IN HALF! ROBERTO GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!–
Gavin Kirkland: NO! BUT SO CLOSE! TLA BARELY LIFTS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Charlie Marr: HEY HEY HEY, what are these idiots doing here?
Eve: And look who’s marching down the ramp together! La Familia is heading toward the ringside area, coming to aid Roberto De La Rosa, who’s struggling to get back on his feet. It looks like one of them has a brass knuckle—and it’s in Luis’ hand!
Roberto De La Rosa (Off-Mic): STOP!
(La Familia watches as Roberto shouts at them, pointing toward the stage and immediately ordering them off.)
Roberto De La Rosa (Off-Mic): This fight isn’t about that. Go home!
Charlie Marr: Yes, I agree, just go home already. Who in their right mind would cheat for the sake of their family? Wouldn’t that be a proper disgrace to them instead?
Deadprez: That’s a direct order from the house leader himself, and La Familia has no choice but to retreat before they can do anything. TLA is just getting back to his feet, and Roberto De La Rosa, pointing at TLA, seems ready to end this once and for all! Roberto takes off… GOING FOR THE RUNNING MEXICAN DESTROYER!
Eve: TLA counters, flipping Roberto over with a running back body drop, causing Roberto to land on his knees, stumbling as he tries to recover! TLA runs toward the ropes, building momentum, and charges back at him… RUNNING MEXICAN DESTROYER!-
Gavin Kirkland: BOP AND BANG STOPS TLA IN HIS TRACKS! … CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER ONE DIRECTLY ACROSS TLA’S JAW! … SWAG SHOT IN RETURN FROM TLA, CAUSING ROBERTO TO STUMBLE AND FALL TOWARD THE ROPES!
Deadprez: ROBERTO BOUNCES OFF, ATTEMPTING A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL, BUT TLA FLIPS UNDERNEATH THE ARM, TURNS HIM DOWN AND LIFTS HIM UP, LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB!
Eve: BUT ROBERTO SLIPS OUT, LANDING IN FRONT OF TLA IN PERFECT POSITION… THE CALLING CARD! PILEDRIVER SPIKES TLA! ROBERTO HITS IT! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Eve: AND TWO AGAIN! TLA KICKS OUT!
Charlie Marr: See? I told you, mate, the outcome’s already written on the wall. We don’t need to sit through the rest to know who’s winning this match. Roberto just isn’t that guy.
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto still has to fight for his life, struggling to get back to his feet no matter what. He makes his way toward the corner once again, likely aiming for a second attempt at the move he tried to hit on TLA earlier.
Deadprez: TLA, meanwhile, is trying to make a comeback from the mat, but Roberto bursts out of the corner looking to hit it… THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT TALÓN DE ÁGUILA!
Eve: CARTEL KICK STOPS HIM MIDWAY! IT CONNECTS PERFECTLY, KNOCKING ROBERTO OUT COLD MID-MOTION! TLA QUICKLY ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER—TLA MIGHT HAVE IT HERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: WOAH NO! Roberto powers out and glares at TLA! He immediately gets back to his feet—he wants more from TLA! He hasn’t had enough just yet! With adrenaline pumping through his veins, Roberto charges at the rising TLA, asking for more!
Eve: TLA connects with a right elbow across Roberto’s jaw, then swings for the Swag Shot… COUNTERED! Roberto fires back with a slap across TLA’s face! Roberto follows it up with a sharp back elbow to TLA’s chin, then swings another to the opposite side! He takes off toward the ropes… CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! IT TURNS TLA INSIDE OUT!
Deadprez: TLA is down on both knees, looking at the ground, trying to hold himself together after the brutal hit he just took. Roberto charges straight toward him… PCR! CURB STOMP! OH MY GOD! HE JUST HIT TLA WITH THE CURB STOMP! ROBERTO GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
Deadprez: THREE!
Eve: NO! TWO! TWO! TLA KICKS OUT! HE KICKS OUT! TLA is very familiar with that move, and he’s not going to let Roberto be the one to end it so easily! Roberto is determined to finish things, though—he picks TLA back up to his feet, and here we go… MEXICAN DESTROYER ON THE ORIGINATOR OF THE MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP AT THE LAST SECOND, SENDING ROBERTO CRASHING TO THE MAT INSTEAD! ROBERTO TRIES TO RALLY, BUT IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE…
Gavin Kirkland: RUNNING MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE SPIKES ROBERTO INTO THE MAT! ROBERTO IS DOWN AND OUT! HERE’S THE COVER!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… TLA!!!!!!
Charlie Marr: Great match… I guess?
Deadprez: What a match indeed! I enjoyed this a hell of a lot—seeing two top-tier Mexican stars that Showdown has brought to the scene!
Gavin Kirkland: That was a marquee, event-worthy match, and we hope to see them face each other again down the line someday. This was a great match and one hell of an effort from Roberto De La Rosa!
Eve: Indeed, Roberto shouldn’t feel down about what he accomplished tonight. He came so close to winning at every moment of this match. Who knows? Maybe it’s time for his star to shine in the near future, and he might even defeat TLA someday but tonight, it’s the champ’s night!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by 2Pac plays as TLA receives his championship, while Roberto, standing on the outside, watches in disappointment before making his way to the back. Meanwhile, TLA glances back at Charlie Marr, who removes his headset, locking eyes with TLA from the commentary table. The final shot captures both men staring each other down before the scene fades into a commercial break.)
(A commercial break airs, promoting Dragonball: Sparkling! Zero, featuring Elysium.)
[SCREEN BAR – Earlier Today]
(There is darkness, six hooded men sitting around all in black with their heads down. There is an ominous cloud of smoke that centers around the individuals that is illuminated by candlelight. There is one sitting in the middle of the surrounding Druids. Their palms up, head down, the cowl covers their head, until they slowly begin to speak.)
???: In t5he darkness there is light, in a world that has found itself engulfed in the meaningless aura of unaccomplished deeds which the masses try to keep a hold of, never intending to complete it. It is a plague, a disease that has been eating away at the very foundation of this EAW, and while the decay is why we are the Plague Doctor’s of this wasteland to help the chosen one in grabbing what is ours.
(As he slowly stands, the man who’s voice is deep and even raspy, slowly looks up to show his eyes.)
???: The world is in trouble, do you hear the air raid sirens, blaring wildly? Much like this company we call the EAW, the dissidents are running wild, in chaotic form looking for any shelter as what they have been building has now been destroyed. But if there is one thing that you can all take solace in, that we are here to help you.
(As he raises the cowl, the face of Zariah is seen, his eyes narrow as she speaks with the Druids behind him.)
Zariah: Is Ryan Joseph Wilson supposed to be your voice? Was he meant to come scream in the faces of the ones that have been hiding in the crowd waiting for something to happen. Ryan represents what so many of the followers who are blinded by the sight of success, the tones of deaf and dumb drones who look for answers in victory. What is Ryan Joseph Wilson though? Everything that is wrong with the EAW and society as a whole. A man who has been here for so long, searching for his calling and never finding it.
(He begins to walk past the druids, Zariah stands over what seems to be a fountain.)
Zariah: And for many, this symbolizes a wish, a simple gesture to throw a coin in and ask for whatever riches you desire in order for it to come true, is that what Ryan Wilson has done, wish himself to be at the top of a mountain he has never been able to climb? Reaching to every peak so that he can stand up there and be the one to hold what was always intended for the true master? Don’t you get it, Mr. Wilson, this is not a game, it is not a victory lap, it will not end like you would like it, that much I promise you.
(Dipping his hand in the fountain, he grabs some water and then walks over while cupped in his hand. He then turns and standing there is another man with a cowl over his face, removing it to show Ruler. )
Zariah: This Mr. Wilson is strength, this Mr. Wilson is true power, this Mr. Wilson is the answer to all of life’s questions. And we are here, ready to take our place as Gods amongst mice and men. Mr. Wilson, what you have at The Last Stand is an appropriate name for that is about to happen to you at the hands of the true master of darkness. Don’t you see now that this is nothing more than a losing battle? One that will witness an entirety through the actions of a few, and that Mr. Wilson… THAT is when the true face will appear right before your eyes and the blood soaked streets.
(Zariah Kennedy lowers his head and bows to Ruler as he steps up and glares into the camera, tilting his head some, before then talking slowly.)
Ruler: This is not of my creation Ryan; it is of yours and the insolence of others. This is the purification of Showdown through the essence that will escape your body in our street fight. But there is one important detail that you must remember and that goes for the entire Showdown brand. This is about not just saving our world, but making it what it should have been from the very beginning…. Under my hand, as the Ruler of Everything.
(He slowly turns around as both Ruler and Zariah disappear into the darkness and the shadows of the mist, the Druids then follow when suddenly.
Connection Terminates.)
(The camera returns back to ringside as Gina Romano is standing in the center of the ring with a microphone as she is ready to begin the introductions of tonight’s main event match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne starts playing as the Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks enters the arena to cheers from the crowd. Milli has her standard Milli style and flare along with the Universal Women’s Championship around her waist. She looks ready for action as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 135 pounds. Here is the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! “THE SUPERNOVA” MILLI BANKS!
Deadprez: Here comes the champion heading to the ring for singles action and she looks more than ready for her next title defense at The Last Stand.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right, Prezzy! The Universal Women’s Championship will be on the line as the beautiful and gorgeous Milli Banks defends against Voltage’s KASAI! I know who I am rooting for.
Eve: Of course we know. But Milli Banks last week got the upperhand on her future challenger by laying her out. Tonight, she is looking to build more momentum as she heads towards Madison Square Garden. She better be ready.
(Milli enters the ring and does a little shimmy to her theme before she heads to her corner and removes her jacket and other items. She hands her title to the referee as her music is replaced by “My War” by Shinsei Kamattechan. Seconds later, the cheers continue as Bronson Daniels enters the arena while being accompanied by his Elysium teammate Jon Kelton. They look at each other and nod as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! Accompanied to the ring by Jon Kelton! Residing in Los Angeles, California! Weighing 190 pounds! Here is “THE EMPEROR” BRONSON DANIELS!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh great. The screw ups are here. Can we go back to talking about Milli Banks and how great she is while these two head to the ring?
Eve: Shut the hell up! Bronson is heading to the ring for singles action as he and his tag team partner, Jon Kelton, have got to be feeling good after their victory last week in tag team action. At The Last Stand, they find themselves in the Trial of Terrors match.
Deadprez: They have experience, but not as much as a team. That’s at The Last Stand. Right now it is about a current and former World Champion doing battle. Who will reign supreme? We are about to find out!
(Bronson enters the ring while Kelton takes his place at ringside while Bronson’s music fades off. Seconds later, the referee is checking both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This match is underway for tonight’s main event as Bronson and Milli meet in the center of the ring and immediately shake hands. Always good to see a little sportsmanship around here
Deadprez: These two have been strong supporters of each other for a while now and because of that, they will not hold back against the other. They both wanna win as they go to lock up in the center of the ring–
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI IMMEDIATELY DUCKS UNDER AND APPLIES THE HAMMERLOCK ON BRONSON! But it doesn’t last long as Bronson does something for once and catches Milli in the face with a back elbow.
Deadprez: That shot caught Milli in the mouth as she stumbles back before Bronson grabs her by the arm and whips her to the ropes. Milli rebounds and BRONSON CATCHES HER WITH THE ARM DRAG–
Eve: MILLI IS ABLE TO BRIDGE ENOUGH TO LAND ON HER FEET! WHAT FLEXIBILITY BY THE CHAMPION MILLI BANKS AS SHE HITS THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, what I would like to go on one date with Milli Banks, but Milli hits the ropes on the other side as Bronson grabs her and MILLI TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER!
Eve: That comment wasn’t creepy at all, but Milli did send Bronson for the ride across the ring AS SHE DELIVERS A LOW DROPKICK SENDING BRONSON THROUGH THE ROPES AND TUMBLING OUT TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Bronson quickly tries to get back to his feet just as Milli was running across the ring AND SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHES ONTO BRONSON WITH THE TOPE CON HILO!
Gavin Kirkland: Beauty, talent, and grace. She is an amazing triple threat in the ring. She’s already Universal Women’s Champion, but I wonder if she would like the title of Mrs. Gavin Kirkland.
Eve: Yeah, I don’t think she wants that title to be honest, but good luck with that. Anyways, Milli is in firm control right now as she grabs Bronson and rolls him back into the ring before quickly following suit.
Deadprez: Milli now finds her way to the second rope as she waits for Bronson to get back to his feet. She doesn’t have to wait very long as Bronson recovers pretty quickly AS MILLI JUMPS AND GOES FOR THE MISSILE DROPKICK–
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY CRAP! BRONSON WAS ABLE TO MOVE HIS BODY QUICKLY ENOUGH INTO THE PERFECT POSITION TO DELIVER A PUMP KICK TO MILLI’S FACE! OH MY POOR MILLI! THAT WAS AN UGLY SHOT!
Deadprez: Milli crashes and burns hard on the mat after that kick and Bronson immediately gets on the attack BY DROPPING AN ELBOW INTO HER BACK!! LOOK AT MILLI’S FACE CRINGE IN PAIN!
Eve: Bronson might be looking to take that flexibility advantage away from Milli as he brings her back to her feet BEFORE TAKING HER UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! Bronson then quickly floats over and tries for the cover–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MILLI STILL HAS SOME FLEXIBILITY POWER LEFT AS SHE BRIDGES UP BEFORE A COUNT COULD BE STARTED! Not gonna lie, this is kinda hot to see. Bronson tries to use his weight to send Milli crashing back to the mat–
Eve: MILLI IS STILL ABLE TO KEEP THE BRIDGE WHILE HOLDING ALL OF BRONSON’S WEIGHT ON HER! Holy crap what power by the Universal Women’s Champion.
Deadprez: Even Bronson was shocked by that show of power, but he matches it with a show of power of his own AS HE GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND PULLS MILLI BACK UP BY THE WRISTS–
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is able to jump up and put her feet on Bronson’s legs AS SHE IS ABLE TO EXECUTE A MONKEY FLIP, BUT BRONSON IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET!
Eve: Neither competitor has been able to keep their opposition down long during the early parts of this match. It has been pretty even and the crowd absolutely loves it. To be quite honest, I do too. If this is what happens at the beginning, this entire match is going to be a show.
Deadprez: Even Kelton is impressed at ringside watching this match as Milli goes to hit the ropes as she comes back AND TRIES TO GO FOR AN ARMSCISSOR STYLE TAKE DOWN-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BRONSON KEEPS HOLD OF MILLI BEFORE SWITCHING HER INTO THE BEARHUG AND PLANTING HER WITH THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! NOOOOOOO! MY POOR MILLI!
Deadprez: She is not yours, dawg!! Either way, Milli is back down on the mat AND BRONSON IS DELIVERING SOME KICKS RIGHT TO HER SIDE! That’s an easy way to try and break a rib.
Eve: Almost like soccer practice as Milli is trying to roll over to the ropes so she can catch a breather. She does make it to the ropes and the referee is backing Bronson off as Milli uses the ropes to get herself back to her feet.
Gavin Kirkland: But Bronson was ready for her as HE FIRES OFF A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO CATCH HER IN THE HEAD, BUT MILLI WAS ABLE TO CATCH IT! Milli has Bronson’s leg draped over the top rope–
Eve: MILLI DROPS DOWN AND TORQUES BRONSON’S KNEE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND THAT CAUSED SOME DAMAGE! Bronson has his leg stuck on the top rope as Milli makes her way to the top rope–
Deadprez: MILLI JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A MISSILE DROPKICK TO BRONSON’S FACE THAT SENDS BRONSON FALLING BACK INTO THE RING AND CRASHING ONTO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Not a good landing for Bronson and I am kind of alright with that. It also looks like Bronson’s head snapped back when he hit the mat.
Eve: Will you stop playing favorites for Gawd’s sake. But Milli is back on her feet in the ring and she decides to get a little innovative with her offense as SHE DOES A CARTWHEEL BEFORE HITTING THE LEG DROP!
Deadprez: That hit right across Bronson’s throat with that direct shot and Milli quickly scrambles into the cover and hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: Damn! Bronson kicks out! I mean we have a near fall for Milli off the leg drop and Milli follows up the leg drop BY DRIVING HER KNEES INTO BRONSON’S RIBS BEFORE ROLLING FORWARD TO GET BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE FLIPPING BACK–
Deadprez: BRONSON GOT THE KNEES UP BEFORE MILLI COULD COMPLETE THE FLIP! Milli was going for the “Bank Roll” but Bronson was able to block the second part of it by driving his knees into Milli’s gut.
Eve: Clever counter by the former World Champion as he slowly makes it back to his feet before grabbing Milli AND SENDING HER UP AND OVER AFTER THE STO STYLE BACKBREAKER! GOOD GAWD THAT COULD HAVE TURNED HER INSIDE OUT THE WAY SHE LANDED!
Gavin Kirkland: I’ve heard that you fight hard against enemies but even harder against your friends, but why does his friend have to be Milli. I hate seeing her in pain like that.
Eve: I am in pain listening to your whine about a lady who will never love you, but Bronson is not playing around as he heads to the Temple of Trials match with the Tag Team Titles currently on the line, so he wants to build some momentum as he grabs Milli AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Deadprez: Milli doesn’t wanna lose any momentum either as she defends the Universal Women’s Title against Voltage’s KASAI, so a loss here won’t help much.
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is trying to get back into this match as she gets back to her feet BUT SHE IS MET WITH AN OVERHAND CHOP TO THE CHEST! That wasn’t necessary! You could cause her chest to cave in with how hard you hit her!
Eve: No pain, no gain, Gavin. That comes with the territory and you know that. Milli felt that chop, but that just gives Bronson another chance to OVERHAND CHOP HER AGAIN! THE CHOPS GET LOUDER THE MORE HE DOES THEM!
Deadprez: Bronson manages to back Milli into a corner BEFORE UNLOADING ONE MORE OVERHAND CHOP THAT FORCES MILLI TO HANG ONTO THE TOP ROPE TO KEEP HER BALANCE!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli looks to be in a mess of trouble right now as he lifts Milli up and sits her on the top turnbuckle before climbing onto the second rope. What is he thinking about doing?
Deadprez: It should be obvious now as Bronson has the facelock applied and he makes his way onto the top rope as well. They are both standing on the top turnbuckle! That’s a very dangerous spot. They need to be careful up there–
Eve: BRONSON LIFTS MILLI UP AND THEY BOTH COME CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT OFF THE BRONSON DANIELS SUPERPLEX! HOLY CRAP WHAT A MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Milli got the worst of it, but luckily Bronson didn’t come out completely unscathed as he took a little damage off the move as well and both competitors are down.
Eve: The referee is checking on both competitors and starts a count, but the count doesn’t last very long as Bronson has been able to roll himself over and crawl into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHH-
Deadprez: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO! The combination of not hooking the leg and the amount of time that went by after the superplex. Luckily for us, this match continues and there will be plenty more where that came from.
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson is back on his feet as he grabs Milli and brings her up as well AND BRONSON JUMPS ONTO MILLI’S SHOULDER TO ATTEMPT A POISONRANA–
Eve: INSTEAD OF STRUGGLING, MILLI JUST DROPS BACK AND COUNTERS WITH AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP AND BRONSON LOOKS LIKE HE ALMOST GOT DROPPED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!
Deadprez: That looked dangerous and the referee is checking to see if he is alright. The referee says that Bronson is good and this match continues. That’s the good news. The bad news is if there was any damage done to Bronson’s neck from that Electric Chair, Milli will capitalize.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s exactly what she’s going to do as she STARTS PUTTING THE BOOTS TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! MY GIRL MILLI IS TRYING TO WEAKEN BRONSON’S NECK! She brings Bronson back to his feet.
Deadprez: Milli has the facelock applied as she also hooks the leg BEFORE SHE SPINS BRONSON OUT AND DROPS HIM WITH THE FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER! BRONSON SPIKED ON HIS NECK ONCE AGAIN!
Eve: Bronson down hard once again as he still tries to get back to his feet. That’s exactly what Milli wants as Bronson is back on his feet AND MILLI JUMPS UP AND GRABS HIS HEAD! ALL HER WEIGHT IS ON BRONSON–
Gavin Kirkland: GUILLOTINE! MILLI HAS THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE APPLIED! SUBMISSION RIGHT HERE AND IT IS LOCKED IN TIGHT! THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TO SEE IF BRONSON GIVES IT UP OR JUST PASSES OUT!
Eve: Milli has her legs wrapped around Bronson in a grapevine and Bronson is trying to stay on his feet because if he falls to the mat, this could spell the end of this match.
Deadprez: Bronson is kind of up the creek right now, because if he fights he uses energy and could pass out or if he doesn’t fight, there’s no doubt that he will pass out.
Gavin Kirkland: Leave it to Bronson to keep fighting as much as he can even if things look bleak. Almost happens on a weekly basis for him, BUT HE IS STARTING TO FADE!
Eve: Gavin is being a jackass, but even with the fight, Bronson is starting to pass out. BUT HE IS STILL STANDING! BRONSON IS STILL ON HIS FEET! BRONSON STILL HAS THE POWER TO FIGHT BACK!
Deadprez: He is doing more than just fighting back, HE IS LIFTING MILLI UP IN THE AIR BEFORE FALLING BACK AND SOMEHOW COUNTERING INTO A MODIFIED NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! MILLI WAS ALMOST DROPPED ON HER HEAD AS BRONSON HAS ENOUGH ENERGY TO BRIDGE UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES! WOOHOO!! Now I am happy that this match goes on.
Deadprez: That was a very close near fall for Bronson Daniels, who is trying to get his wits about him after being in the Guillotine for so long. He is scooting back towards the ropes to try to catch a breather, but Milli is already back to her feet.
Eve: Milli is heading right towards Bronson AND SHE GOES FOR THE HIGH KNEE AND BRONSON DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND MILLI KNEES THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is off balance and Bronson comes from behind and catches her with a Schoolboy Rollup. SHOULDERS ARE DOWN, BUT MILLI IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT COULD START!
Eve: Milli rolls back to her feet, BUT BRONSON THROWS AN ELBOW INTO MILLI’S GUT TO HALT HER MOMENTUM! Bronson is slowly making it back to his feet, but he is still feeling the effects of the Guillotine as Milli hits the ropes as Bronson is still hunched over–
Deadprez: MILLI COMES BACK AT FULL SPEED AND HITS THE RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE! RIGHT IN BRONSON’S FACE AS HE GOES DOWN HARD! MILLI CALLS THAT “NO FAKE BILLS HERE” AND THERE WAS NOTHING FAKE ABOUT THE KNEE AS MILLI DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER! LEG IS HOOKED!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: DID SHE GET IT? SHE GOT IT! SHE HAD TO HAVE GOT IT! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Eve: I hate to break it to you, Gavin, but the referee is calling it a two count. The ref was dangerously close to making the three count, but Bronson was able to nudge his shoulder off the mat enough to get the referee to stop the count.
Deadprez: Even a few people in the arena thought this match was over, but this match will luckily continue as Milli grabs Bronson’s head AND ANOTHER SUBMISSION IS APPLIED!
Gavin Kirkland: TRIANGLE CHOKE APPLIED! MILLI IS GOING TO TRY AND CHOKE OUT BRONSON AGAIN! AFTER THE DAMAGE HE HAS TAKEN IN THIS MATCH, IT’S ALMOST A FORGONE CONCLUSION THAT HE IS GOING TO GO NIGHT NIGHT!
Deadprez: Night night? Seriously, dawg? You have got to be joking with that. Anyways, Milli has that Triangle Choke applied and Bronson is in an even worse position than he was with the Guillotine.
Eve: That’s right, Prezzy. Bronson is on the mat and that is going to put some extra pressure on him in that position and he will need to hurry or else this match will be over.
Gavin Kirkland: They might as well ring the bell right now. He barely survived the Guillotine Choke and now he’s in a Triangle Choke. The high and mighty Bronson Daniels isn’t going to be able to get out of this one if he isn’t careful.
Eve: Bronson is still fighting against the submission and he is doing everything he can to make sure that the footing he has on the mat stays as it is or else this match will be over–
Deadprez: LOOK AT BRONSON! BRONSON MUST HAVE HIT THE RESET BUTTON BECAUSE HE IS ALMOST DEADLIFTING MILLI BANKS OFF OF THE MAT AND INTO THE AIR!
Gavin Kirkland: HOW IN THE HELL DID HE MANAGE THAT? HE WAS HALF DEAD ONLY TEN SECONDS AGO AND NOW HE’S LIFTING MILLI IN THE AIR! I DON’T GET THIS CRAP!
Eve: There is nothing to get other than the tables have turned on Milli and she is in a mess of trouble as Bronson musters up the energy to bring Milli to the center of the ring BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH THE SITOUT DEADLIFT POWERBOMB!!
Deadprez: BUT HE CAN’T OR DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS LAST SPURT OF ENERGY IN THIS MATCH! But Bronson makes it back to his feet and musters up once again whatever energy he can find as he hits the ropes to build momentum–
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE HE LEAPS IN THE AIR AND HITS MILLI WITH THE “FLYING BRONSONS”! DIRECT HIT WITH THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS AS BRONSON HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: MILLI BARELY KICKS OUT AT TWO AFTER THOSE TWO HIGH IMPACT MOVES! OH WHAT A NEAR FALL FOR BRONSON DANIELS AS HIS ELYSIUM PARTNER JON KELTON WATCHES ON!
Eve: These two don’t have a World Championship on their resumes for nothing. These two have fighting spirits like you wouldn’t believe just like every other member of the Showdown roster.
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S BECAUSE ON SHOWDOWN… WE WRESTLE!!! WOOOOO! AND KENNEDY STREET IS RUNNING THIS SHIP LIKE NO OTHER! BEST GENERAL MANAGER EVER!
Eve: You need to switch to decaf, Gavin. Seriously. As we were talking, both competitors were down and they both look spent so it’s going to be a race to see which competitor will get to their feet first.
Deadprez: The referee has once again started a count, but I bet that the count will be beaten as it looks like a little bit of a struggle between these two to even make it back to their feet. But they are getting there and the crowd is cheering both Milli and Bronson on.
Gavin Kirkland: I am not surprised to see that it’s the Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks who gets to her feet first. Bronson is about a second away from getting to a standing position, BUT MILLI DOESN’T GIVE BRONSON THE CHANCE–
Eve: DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER TO BRONSON DANIELS! “DIAMONDS DANCING” BY MILLI BANKS AND BRONSON’S CHANCES OF WINNING MIGHT HAVE DANCED AWAY AS WELL AS MILLI ROLLS BRONSON OVER FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: FOOT ON THE ROPE! BRONSON GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THAT STOPS THE COUNT! MILLI PUNCHES THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION AS SHE MADE A SIMPLE MISTAKE!
Gavin Kirkland: Accidents happen so there is no need for her to get so frustrated. She’s got this. I know she does.
Deadprez: Milli brings Bronson back to his feet and whips him to the corner and he crashes against the turnbuckle. Milli comes running in at full speed BUT BRONSON GETS THE BOOT UP AND CRACKS MILLI IN THE MOUTH!
Eve: Milli staggers back and Bronson makes his way to the top rope. Bronson is trying to get his balance AND MILLI BACKS INTO THE TOP ROPE! THAT CAUSES THE ROPE TO SHAKE AND BRONSON TO LOSE HIS BALANCE–
Gavin Kirkland: AND BRONSON GOES CROTCH FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING FOR BRONSON AND I THINK IT’S KINDA FUNNY!
Eve: Milli quickly turns the tables back in her favor as she climbs her way up onto the top turnbuckle as well. Milli is getting Bronson set up for a hurricanrana off the top rope—
Deadprez: BRONSON SWEEPS MILLI’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER AND SHE LANDS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS WELL IN BRONSON’S LAP!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson is such a lucky bastard. I never thought I would say this, but I wish I was Bronson Daniels right now.
Eve: How about now? Because Milli and Bronson are throwing haymakers on the top rope and hitting each other in the face!
Deadprez: Both competitors are trying to get the advantage over the other and it looks like MILLI CAUGHT A LUCKY SHOT IN THE TEMPLE SENDING BRONSON OVER THE ROPES BUT HE IS TAKING MILLI WITH HIM AND BOTH COMPETITORS GO CRASHING ON THE FLOOR!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: As you can hear, the referee has started a count and it would suck to see this match end in a countout.
Eve: Both competitors are down at the moment and doing what they can to quickly recover!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Deadprez: Both Bronson and Milli are getting back to their feet and Bronson is the first up and he heads back towards the ring in order to break the count.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
Eve: BRONSON SLIDES INTO THE RING AT EIGHT AS MILLI BANKS MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET! THIS IS GOING TO BE CLOSE!
Deadprez: She is getting her awareness about her as she heads towards the ring. Milli slides into the ring… WAIT! WHAT THE?
Referee: NINE!
Eve: IT’S KASAI! WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE? THE REFEREE WAS WITH BRONSON FOR THAT BRIEF MOMENT AS MILLI TRIED TO SLIDE INTO THE RING, BUT SHE WAS PULLED OUT OF THE RING BY KASAI!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli tried for a clothesline, BUT KASAI DUCKED IT BEFORE HITTING MILLI WITH “URAI’S CURSE”! WHAT A SKULL KICK FROM KASAI AND MILLI IS OUT! THE REFEREE TURNS BACK AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME! OH COME ON!
Referee: TEN! THAT’S IT RING THE BELL!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee has called for the bell and the crowd is booing the end result of the match. They are also booing KASAI because she was the one who caused this. The referee talks to Gina Romano, who is standing at ringside before she announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner as a result of a COUNT OUT… BRONSON DANIELS!
Deadprez: The look on Bronson’s face says it all. He wanted to win this match, but not in this way. Bronson and Milli were having an amazing match until KASAI ruined it. She is hell bent on becoming the Universal Women’s Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: Milli was no doubt going to win this match, but that KASAI from Voltage ruined everything and she stopped Milli from getting back in the ring.
Eve: Besides the very end of the match, this was a hell of a match between two friends, allies, and World Champion level competitors.
(The referee raises Bronson’s arm in victory, but he doesn’t look pleased about the way he won as Kelton enters the ring and also raises his partner’s arm in victory. Meanwhile, KASAI is still on the outside AND SHE IS ATTACKING MILLI!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE NUTCASE? KASAI ALREADY COST MILLI THE MATCH, NOW SHE’S JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF MILLI ON THE OUTSIDE! WHERE IS SECURITY?
Eve: KASAI really wants to make a statement before she challenges for the Universal Women’s Championship and she’s doing it now as she is just destroying Milli Banks.
Deadprez: I wanna quickly offer Bronson congratulations for winning the match, but Bronson and Kelton are going to help Milli–
(CRASH!)
Eve: WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT?
Gavin Kirkland: OH YES! MORE BEAUTY IN THE RING! IT’S THE JADED HEARTS! THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE HERE AND THEY ARE TAKING TO ONE OF THEIR OPPONENTS AT THE LAST STAND!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART AND SIENNA JADE ARE HERE AND THEY ARE ATTACKING ONE OF THEIR OPPONENTS AT THE LAST STAND!
Eve: THEY ARE JUST BEATING THE HOLY HELL OUT OF KELTON AND BRONSON! BRONSON JUST HAD A HARD MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: THEY DON’T CARE! SIENNA AND KASSIDY ARE GOING TO ATTACK ANYBODY THAT STEPS IN THEIR PATH TO GREATNESS!
Deadprez: Bronson is down and out and now Kassidy lifts up Kelton enough for SIENNA JADE TO CRACK HER KNEE INTO KELTON’S SKULL!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S THE “BEAUTY KILLER” BY A COUPLE OF KILLER BEAUTIES! KELTON IS DOWN AND OUT AS WELL! I LOVE IT!
(Elysium has both been knocked out by the Jaded Hearts. Sienna and Kassidy pick up their title belts and stand over their fallen victims and raise their titles to the sounds of boos from the crowd.)
Eve: They came out here to make a statement and a statement they made. Ohhh The Last Stand is going to be interesting.
Deadprez: Two high profile matches at The Last Stand with the Universal Women’s Title on the line with KASAI challenges Milli Banks. We also have the Temple of Trials with the Unified Tag Team Championships on the line as of right now. We are going to have some fights going on/.
(The final shot shows security outside the ring pulling KASAI off of Milli before cutting to The Jaded Hearts standing tall over Elysium while holding the Unified Tag Team Titles high in the air before it cuts to a commercial break..)
(A Commercial Plays for The Last Stand where Milli Banks will defend the Universal Women’s Championship against Voltage’s KASAI.)
(The camera returns from commercial break, and we see the Jaded Hearts are still in the ring with “True Love” playing in the background. Sienna and Kassidy have microphones in their hands as Deadprez welcomes us back from break.)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Showdown and as you can see the Jaded Hearts are still in the ring after what they did moments ago before we went to break.
Eve: In case you missed it, after Bronson’s match with Milli Banks, The Jaded Hearts came out of nowhere and attacked both Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton, leaving them knocked out in the ring as they made a statement to one of their Last Stand opponents.
Gavin Kirkland: During the break, The Jaded Hearts stayed in the ring while the trainers helped both of Elysium along with Milli Banks to the back. Now let’s see what our beautiful Tag Team Champions have to say.
(The crowd is still booing them as their entrance theme fades off. Kass and Sienna let the crowd jeer for a moment longer before they start to speak.)
Sienna Jade: Do we have your attention now, people? Did you catch what we did to Elysium just a few moments ago? That’s exactly why we are your Unified Tag Team Champions. We take out any challenge that steps in our way.
Kassidy Heart: Elysium or whatever the fuck they call themselves might be one of our opponents at The Last Stand, but we also know that we have a title defense at Wicked Games we defend our titles against my sexy DaddyGawd.
Sienna Jade: … and Mr. Roid Rage himself Michael Machina. Seriously, that can’t be natural.
Kassidy Heart: … oh yeah. Him too.
(Kassidy has a smile on her face as he thinks about facing her husband at Wicked Games and is over the moon about the thought of getting in the ring with him.)
Sienna Jade: Kass, I understand that you are no doubt over the moon about wrestling your husband next week, but we have a mission to accomplish.
(Sienna gives Kassidy a smirk and a wink because she knows what Kassidy was thinking about before Kassidy replies.)
Kassidy Heart: Don’t worry. I know exactly what we have to do. You see, people, just because I am fighting the best looking and strongest man in EAW doesn’t mean I am not aware of what is at stake.
Kassidy Heart: You get it? Me and my DaddyGawd love very hard, but we also fight even harder. No matter how excited I am to fight my DaddyGawd, we both know that they must be defeated.
Sienna Jade: You got that right! It doesn’t matter to us who steps up to the plate and challenges us for OUR Unified Tag Team Titles. Friend, foe, lover, or DaddyGawd alike. If you step up to us and try to take our titles away from us, you will ALL meet the same fate as all of the other teams that have stepped up to us during our reign.
(Sienna and Kassidy step up to the camera and hold their titles high in the air for everybody in the arena and watching at home to see.)
Kassidy Heart: They will fall. I love my DaddyGawd more than the world itself, but he is a challenger to OUR greatness and OUR Tag Team Titles, but WE know what WE have to do and that is to put DaddyGawd and his musclehead tag team partner down and out.
Sienna Jade: We can, must, and will defeat Metuselah and Michael Machina. We are walking into Wicked Games as the Unified Tag Team Champions, and we are leaving Wicked Games as the Unified Tag Team Champions.
Kassidy Heart: But that’s not all people. Leaving Wicked Games means that you all get the honor and privilege of watching us still be Unified Tag Team Champions as we walk into The Last Stand and this bullshit Temple of Trials match.
Sienna Jade: Kennedy Street might be stacking the deck against us by forcing us to partake in this “Temple of Trials” match or whatever the fuck she wants to call. If she thinks that a match like this and trying to put the odds against the greatest tag team in EAW History is gonna end our reign as Tag Team Champions, then she has another thing coming.
Kassidy Heart: You know what, Sienna? Look at our opposition. First there is Elysium or whatever the fuck their team name is. We just left them knocked out and on their asses so they are seriously no threat to us.
Sienna Jade: Then we have Charlie Marr and TLA. This is hilarious. Isn’t Charlie dating that whore of a niece of yours.
Kassidy Heart: Don’t remind me about either of those idiots. Charlie dating Veena just shows that he has no taste or sense of what a real woman is supposed to be, but Charlie and TLA teaming together is a disaster waiting to happen.
Sienna Jade: Charlie Marr is all about Charlie Marr and he is going to screw everything up for their team if TLA being his TLA self doesn’t fuck everything up for them first.
Kassidy Heart: This is such a fucking joke of a defense. I am going to go ahead and call our shot now. We are going to leave not just Wicked Games, but also The Last stand STILL your Unified Tag Team Champions.
(Kassidy and Sienna once again hold their titles in the air and that gets a negative reaction from the crowd.)
Sienna Jade: And there isn’t a damn thing anybody is gonna be able to do to stop us.
(The Jaded Hearts are proud of themselves as the sounds of ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac starts playing. The crowd goes wild as the Answers World Champion TLA enters the arena with a microphone in hand.)
Deadprez: Speaking of opponents, here comes TLA! The Answers World Champion is out here, and he probably has something to say to The Jaded Hearts.
Eve: Yeah I don’t think he took very kindly to what Sienna and Kassidy said, but we are about to find out what’s on his mind.
(TLA walks halfway down the entrance ramp as his entrance theme fades out and TLA begins to speak.)
TLA: Look at what we have in the ring. A couple of crazy putas. It looks like Halloween came early.
Kassidy Heart: Oh great. You’re here. What the fuck do you want?
TLA: I came out to say that you and your little friend are both full of shit. You know as well as I do, Kass, that I have beaten your ass before, and it will be no issue for me to do it again at The Last Stand.
Kassidy Heart: Look who is being Mr. High and Mighty as he talks to us from outside the ring. How about this, asshole! How about you backup your trash talk and come right into the ring and do something about it unless you wanna show that you are a little bitch.
Sienna Jade: He isn’t going to rush the ring at us. Charlie Marr isn’t here with him. He’s all by his widdle self.
(Kass and Sienna start laughing almost hysterically knowing that TLA is all alone. TLA doesn’t look amused with all their laughing.)
TLA: Get ready to end up in a position you both are very familiar with… FLAT ON YOUR BACKS, PUTAS!
(TLA tosses his title belt and his microphone down and runs right to the ring.)
Eve: They might have made a mistake talking all their shit AS TLA THROWS EVERYTHING DOWN AND BOLTS RIGHT TO THE RING!
Deadprez: TLA SLIDES INTO THE RING AND HE IMMEDIATELY STARTS ATTACKING KASSIDY HEART BEFORE SIENNA JADE PULLS TLA OFF KASSIDY AND THROWS A RIGHT HAND–
Gavin Kirkland: TLA BLOCKS IT AND COUNTERS WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN AND HE GETS THE ADVANTAGE OVER SIENNA JADE—
Eve: KASSIDY HEART FROM BEHIND TAKING TLA DOWN AND THE NUMBERS GAME IS NOW STARTING TO OVERWHELM THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Deadprez: THE JADED HEARTS ARE BEATING DOWN TLA AS THEY DID TO ELYSIUM EARLIER! The Jaded Hearts are just beating the hell out of all their Last Stand opponents.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA brought that upon himself because he is fighting at a two on one disadvantage.
(As they start to bring TLA up to finish him off, the crowd gets louder as Charlie Marr enters the arena and runs down to the ring.)
Eve: You spoke too soon, Gavin, BECAUSE HERE COMES CHARLIE MARR! CHARLIE IS HERE AND HE IS RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP!
Deadprez: NOT ONLY THAT, CHARLIE BROUGHT THE EQUALIZER IN THE FORM OF A STEEL CHAIR AS HE DIVES INTO THE RING AND TAKES A SWING AT THE JADED HEARTS!
Gavin Kirkland: Sienna and Kassidy get the hell out of dodge by getting out of the ring and grabbing their titles as they head away from the ring.
(The Jaded Hearts are heading up the entrance ramp, looking on in extreme anger as Charlie helps TLA up.)
Eve: I didn’t have this on my bingo card for the night. Charlie Marr and TLA are standing tall over the Unified Tag Team Champions. From what I can see, it looks like TLA and Charlie might be on the same page.
Gavin Kirkland: They might be standing tall, but they have also inherited the wrath of the Jaded Hearts and they are going to pay for what they did tonight.
Deadprez: Jaded Hearts took out one team, but couldn’t take out the other as they look PISSED OFF! The Temple of Trials match is definitely heating up. For Eve and Gavin Kirkland, I am Deadprez. Good night everybody and we will see you next week for another edition of Saturday Night Showdown!
(The final shot shows TLA and Charlie still in the ring standing tall and soaking in the crowd’s reaction before cutting to an extremely angry Kassidy and Sienna before the shot fades to black.)
(EAW Logo Buzzes….)
