Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s Showdown. It starts with Milli Banks coming out and calling her opponents in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, then it transitions to her match with Harper Lee that ends in a DQ win thanks to Miku Sakai. Kennedy Street picks the participants to represent Showdown in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal. TJ Alexander scores a huge win over Luis De La Rosa, SOSA Henderson defeats Raeangel Guzman as Ryan Wilson commentates during the match, Donovan Duke and Cody Maverick make it official at Road to Redemption, Miku Sakai and Veena Adams match is made for Super Showdown. It then changes to TLA defeating Brianna Hill, Veena Adams and Charlie Marr are handpicked to represent Showdown in the Tri-Brand Triple Threat, and finally Ruler and Bronson Daniels break out into an all-out brawl.)
(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 Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. 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.)
Deadprez: WELCOME FANS TO SUPER SHOWDOWN! AND WHAT A GREAT NIGHT OF ACTION WE HAVE TONIGHT! CAPPED OFF WITH A LUMBERJACK AND JILL MATCH BETWEEN VEENA ADAMS AND MIKU SAKAI! A LOT OF BAD BLOOD THERE!
Eve: THERE REALLY IS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER PREVIEW AS TLA TEAMS WITH FELLOW COUNTRYMAN ROBERTO DE LA ROSA TO TAKE ON ELYSIUM! WE ALSO HAVE RULER TAKING ON CHARLIE MARR, TALK ABOUT TWO HATED MEN GOING AT ONE ANOTHER!
Gavin Kirkland: WE HAVE A BABE MATCH IN NIKKI KIMURA AND BRIANNA HILL, TALK ABOUT THICC! AND LET’S GET THIS STARTED WITH MY NUMBER ONE HOMIE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… “LA PANTERRRRRRRRRA SEXUAL” TLA!
(The camera pans to the entranceway while the fans are still on their feet cheering.)
(The camera fades in to ringside as suddenly “Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac blasts across the speakers. The crowd erupts into cheers as TLA steps out onto stage holding up the Answers World Championship as he makes his way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen at this time please welcome the EAW Answers World Champion… T!!!!!!!!! L!!!!!!!!!!!! A!!!!!!!!!!!
(TLA makes his way around ringside slapping hands with a number of fans before jumping up into the ring and raising the championship from all four corners in the ring.)
Deadprez: TLA said that he was going to start the show calling out all of his opponents in the Extreme Elimination Chamber and it looks like that is exactly what he is about to do!
Eve: TLA faces possibly the biggest challenge of his title reign so far at Road to Redemption. The Extreme Elimination Chamber is always one of the most brutal matches of the year and I am sure that this year will be no exception.
(TLA is shown standing in the ring as the music eventually fades out and he is handed the microphone from Gina Romano who leaves the ring.)
Crowd: TLA! TLA! TLA!
TLA: Orale mi gente!!! Y’all know that a vato stay hittin’ up Canada this week and we out here up on that Super Showdown cabrones!
Crowd: APFJOAPSFJAPOFJPAOSJFAOSPFJAS
TLA: Si claro que si y’all know that yo boi be real hyped for tonight. Showdown be showing out and throwing down and that includes yo boi cuz TLA is going to be in action later on anoche. We just going to give y’all the best show in the world like only we can do!
Crowd: SHOW-DOWN! SHOW-DOWN! SHOW-DOWN!
TLA: But that is later on tonight. First of all I am out here to talk about what is going down at Road to Redemption. Y’all know that El Campeon is about to defend his championship like it ain’t been defended for the longest. We entering all on up into that Extreme Elimination Chamber and at this point I been in that Chamber prolly as much as almost anyone else in this game. I been in chambers on chambers on chambers. I be living in chambers and that Chamber be meaning all kinds of shit to a vato. You know that yo boi stay thuggin’ and we hop on up in that ring gonna be getting into all kinds of shit that would be illegal in any other environment. Pero that is where I be thriving and imma show y’all exactly why that be.
(TLA shows footage of the time from Road to Redemption back in 2019 where he retained his EAW World Heavyweight Championship in an Extreme Elimination Chamber match.)
TLA: Es cierto, es cierto. Yo boi done did it before… and yo boi finna do it again! Cuz I can’t stop until I be conquering all kinds of Chambers. Gotta make up for that Temple of Trials match at The Last Stand and show that when it all be on the line yo boi be out here and able to fuck up any opps they put in front of me in any environment. Orale at RTR… we go to war!!!
(An image of the match picture for the Extreme Elimination Chamber being held by Showdown at Road to Redemption appears on screen as the crowd cheers.)
TLA: Look at that talent y’all. Is this not the greatest batch of talent that EAW has ever assembled? You can’t look at me at act like Showdown not the most stacked brand in all of EAW today. Nah we got the best of the best of the best. And we gonna all show out and show exactly why we the GOATs! I look at the participants in this match and I know that them luchadores be starvin’. They out here and they hungry as fuck for them Ws. They want this oro. They want to be the top dawg in this yard. These luchadores are the cream of the crop. The cream that be rising to the top. This is the best talent that EAW got today and people might be thinking that TLA done met his match but that is why I am just built differently. Cuz even when EAW be sending they best even when Showdown be hitting that boom period. Yo boi still be numero uno del mundo!!!
(Suddenly PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE – By Peso Pluma (ft. Cardi B) hits to boos from the crowd as TLA in the ring looking almost happy that he was interrupted.)
Roberto de la Rosa: Callate callate! We have all heard enough! We have all seen enough!
TLA: Yo this segment was billed as me calling out my challengers. But I ain’t called you out yet…
Roberto de la Rosa: That is because I don’t do shit on your command pendejo. I do what I want. I say what I want. That is the privilege that I deserve after my victory at The Last Stand! I DESERVE IT ALL!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Roberto de la Rosa: You come out here and you talk a real big game TLA. You seem to think that Showdown and this whole company revolves around you but that is not the case. I have proven it before and I will prove it again. Just like back on Voltage I was the one who took your Hardcore Championship away… here on Showdown I will also be the one to take your Answers World Championship away!
TLA: Damn a re-run. I think I saw this episode already.
Roberto de la Rosa: You can treat this as a joke all you want but tonight is the last night I am going to have to put up with you. We have to team up later on tonight but after that I am going to be gunning for your ass! Porque Roberto de la Rosa… será el campeón!
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits as the crowd continues to boo. Harper Lee immediately orders her music be shut off.)
Harper Lee: Wow. TLA comes out here and he talks a lot of dumb talking points about how Showdown is better than ever and the best talent in the world. It’s almost like he is some sort of mouthpiece for EAW’s advertising team. But while TLA continues to lie to all you people and make you clap like puppets for these lies I will tell you the truth. And the truth is that the collection of talent in this match… and especially in the ring right now… is just not very impressive at all.
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
(Harper Lee rolls her eyes as she is clearly not a fan favorite in this arena or in any other.)
Harper Lee: I have come out here to inform both of you that it is my time to finally become a Brand World Champion. Because honestly there is nobody else on Showdown who can compare to the level of quality that I bring.
Roberto de la Rosa: Really chica? Nobody at all? That is completely ridiculous. I have been showing all season long that I am ready to take the next step and if you are too blind to see that then your competition is gonna prove to be a lil more competitive than you might expect.
Harper Lee: Nah I doubt that. Really we are pretty deep into this season and nobody has impressed me yet. The only thing that is “impressive” is the fact I haven’t already become a Brand World Champion and honestly that is more of a technicality and poor decisions being made backstage than any actual talent on display.
TLA: Damn you think I’m a bad world champ? :mjcry: !
( “Mr. Rager” – Kid Cudi hits to cheers from the crowd as Elysium makes their way out as well to confront the other participants.)
Jon Kelton: Really Harper? You can’t think of ANYONE else on the roster that can impress you? Well I guess that makes sense because I am definitely impressed at how much of a whining lil bitch you are!
Bronson Daniels: Big facts. Harper Lee hasn’t really done much of anything this season but she walks around this place acting like she is the face of the brand. When people remember this season they will remember groundbreaking moments like the debut of Elysium! The tag team that is changing the game here in EAW!
Harper Lee: This is not a tag team match. Why are you even here? Go challenge for that title instead…
TLA: We already tried that at the last show. We can do it again tho…
Harper Lee: Nevermind. I don’t want to have to wait even longer than I already have for my championship.
Jon Kelton: We are a tag team but that should be something you all take into account when you step into the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Because while in the end only one of us can walk out, up until that point Elysium can make damn sure every one of the rest of y’all are eliminated first!
Bronson Daniels: Nobody else in this match has that kind of advantage and I guarantee that this is going to become an Elysium final. Once we eliminate the rest of you we are going to answer the question that the fans have been wondering all season. Jon Kelton or Bronson Daniels? Who is the better man?
Roberto de la Rosa: Dios mio… literally nobody has been asking that question…
TLA: I kinda want to know now tho…
Roberto de la Rosa: No TLA don’t listen to them. We have to beat them later, remember?
( “2nd Sucks” by A Day To Remember hits as the lights go out and when they come back on Ruler has appeared in the ring.)
Ruler: After Road to Redemption… There will be change.
Jon Kelton: What does that even mean?
(Suddenly the lights go out again.)
TLA: Damn. Showdown forgot to pay the electricity bill again.
(The lights come back on and suddenly the entire ring has been filled with druids who begin attacking everyone in the ring.)
Eve: Oh god look out! Ruler’s druids are in the ring, and they are laying waste to the Extreme Elimination Chamber participants!!!
Deadprez: It’s a sheer numbers game! There’s like ten druids in the ring and all five of these competitors are getting the shit kicked out of them!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Leave Harper alone!
Eve: Wait look!
(Suddenly the tides begin to turn as the Extreme Elimination Chamber participants begin fighting back against the druids!)
Deadprez: Elysium just rammed two druids’ heads together and threw them out of the ring! TLA just hit a Mexican Destroyer on a druid! Roberto de la Rosa has a steel chair and is cleaning house of all the remaining druids in the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Wait no? Where is my beloved Harper?
(As the chaos unfolds in the ring Harper Lee is shown outside the ring leaping over the barricade as she escapes from the dangerous situation.)
Deadprez: That little…
Eve: What a coward! Harper Lee is fleeing from ringside!
Gavin Kirkland: Coward? She’s the only smart one there! In fact, I think I’m going to run away from here and join her too!
Eve: No you will stay right here and call the action!
Deadprez: All the druids are outside the ring!
(*CLANG*)
Eve: Wait Roberto de la Rosa just swung the chair at TLA! But TLA ducked and he nailed Jon Kelton right in the back before dropping the chair!
Deadprez: Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton turned around, but they think that TLA is the one who hit them! Elysium jumps both TLA and Roberto and begins throwing hands!!! TLA throws Jon Kelton off him as he rolls out to the apron! Roberto is getting pummeled by Bronson! TLA leaps up to the top rope and hits a Springboard Splash on both Roberto and Bronson in the ring! But Kelton is in the ring now and he has the chair! Kelton swings it at full speed right at TLA’s head-
(The lights go out again before coming back on once again.)
Eve: Wait is that?
(All the druids are in the ring again attacking the four Chamber participants.)
Deadprez: It’s Zariah Kennedy! Zariah is leading the druids, and they are laying waste to Ruler’s opponents at the Road to Redemption! There are even more druids than before!!!
(Suddenly EAW security is shown rushing down to the ring as there are at least two dozen druids attacking the four men in the ring.)
Eve: Finally, we have some officials out here to deal with Ruler and his gang of thugs!
Deadprez: Ruler has gone too far tonight. He is determined to weaken his opponents for the Chamber by any means necessary! They will need to watch their backs until then because Ruler is out for blood!
Eve: What a chaotic start to Super Showdown… and there is only more where that came from!!!
(The camera cuts to a road construction fundraiser project sponsored by EAW Road to Redemption. Help your local community redeem your roads today!)
(As Showdown comes back from commercial break, the participants for the next match are already in the ring.)
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gavin Kirkman: With the chaos finally getting settled, we can finally get ready for tag team action! Let’s hope Harper Lee and Ruler doesn’t cause any problems at ringside. Bronson is starting this match off for his team, and TLA Daniels the same for his. Both of them make their way out of their corner, but before Bronson can do anything it’s TLA that steps forward and nails him with a forearm to the face! Bronson falls against the ropes while TLA steps forward and begins to unload with a barrage of strikes toward his face to lighten up before this match can get underway!
Eve: He grabs him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… GRABBING HIM BY THE ARM AND LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG- But Bronson manages to plant his feet to the ground before grabbing TLA by the head and sending a knee to his abdomen!
Deadprez: This forces TLA to relent as he stumbles backward, TRYING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT BRONSON GOES UNDER AND GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND TO GO FOR A RUSHING ATTACK- But TLA manages to side step that, HE TURNS AROUND AND NAILS HIM AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! TLA then grabs him by the head, BEFORE SENDING HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! TLA LAUNCHES THROUGH THE ROPES INTO A SUICIDE DIVE ATTEMPT- BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY WHILE TLA CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE SHOULDER FIRST!
Harper Lee ( off mic ): Are you stupid?
Gavin Kirkman: Bronson managed to get out of the way and made TLA pay dearly, grabbing him and rolling him back into the ring before this fight could completely spill out to the ringside area. TLA rolls himself back up to a knee and tries to get back up to his feet, but before he can do anything it’s Bronson that lands a right hand to the face before grabbing him by the arm and sending him toward a corner…
( TAG! )
Eve: BEFORE GETTING THE TAG OUT TO JON KELTON! Bronson grabs TLA by the head and takes him down with a quick Snapmare before Jon Kelton then proceeds to run to the ropes and back while TLA is in a seated position… CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! Kelton isn’t done though as he runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO HIS HEAD! Definitely not the start that TLA wants or anticipated either as he rolls toward the bottom rope in an attempt to get back up, but Jon isn’t going to let him off so easily as he grabs him by the arm while he’s leaned against the ropes in an attempt to Irish whip him to the opposite side- But TLA manages to drop his weight!
Gavin Kirkman: He keeps himself in place, PULLING IN KELTON AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! Jon is stunned but manages to keep himself up to his feet, BUT THAT’S NOT FOR LONG AS TLA GOES UNDER AND GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND NEARLY DECAPITATING HIM WITH SNAKE EYES ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Jon bounces off of the ropes and falls hard to the mat, grabbing his throat and gasping for air while TLA gets him back up to his feet, grabbing him by the arm and sending him toward the corner. He runs forward… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNEE TO THE FACE…
( TAG! )
Eve: AND TAGGING OUT TO ROBERTO! He enters into the ring while TLA leaves for the apron, and wastes no time beginning to stomp down hard on his abdomen! Despite their differences, the two of them have shown themselves to be competent teammates in the early going, but how far that will end up going remains to be seen as Roberto continues to stomp down on him before he slouches down to a seated position in the corner. He then turns around and gets a running start… BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD TO KELTON AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO HIS FACE!
Deadprez: BUT JON KELTON MANAGES TO GRAB THE ROPES AND PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! He then slips behind Roberto and grabs him by the waist, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! KELTON BRIDGES THE PIN ATTEMPT!
ONE!
…
Gavin Kirkman: BUT ROBERTO KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! He gets back up to his feet while Kelton does the same, Roberto grabbing him by the arm and sending him to the ropes with an Irish whip… ONLY FOR KELTON TO LAUNCH HIMSELF INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM OUT! Jon Kelton from there turns around and leaves to the apron, beginning to make his way up to the top rope while Roberto is down… LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND TRYING FOR A FROG SPLASH! BUT ROBERTO GETS THE KNEES UP JUST IN TIME! Kelton clutches his abdomen while getting dropped down to the ground, and Roberto begins to get back up to his feet, realizing the opportunity that he has right in front of him as he looks to set Kelton up…
Eve: TRYING FOR A ‘TALON DE ÁGUILA’! A SPEAR TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND ONCE AGAIN- BUT KELTON NARROWLY MANAGES TO JUMP OVER THAT! HE THEN TAKES ROBERTO DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD BEFORE HE CAN TRY FOR ANYTHING ELSE! Roberto tries to get back up to his feet, WHILE JON GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LOOKS TO GO FOR SOMETHING IN RETURN! ‘CHANGE THE FUTURE’! FUTURE SHOCK DDT TO TAKE DOWN ROBERTO- BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO BREAK THE HOLD! HE SPINS AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO KELTON TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! ROBERTO IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG AND TRIES FOR A PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE—
Gavin Kirkman: BUT KELTON JUST BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Roberto almost got him there, but it wasn’t enough to keep Kelton down, as he grabs him by the head and begins to have him back up to his feet. Kelton tries his best to fight back, but that roundhouse kick took a whole lot out of him and now he’s going to have to try and find a way to fight back. But Roberto slams his head against the turnbuckle padding before reaching his hand out…
( TAG! )
Eve: TAGGING TLA IN! Roberto leaves through the ropes while TLA enters the ring, grabbing Kelton into a headlock and beginning to drag him slowly toward the center of the ring. He begins to set him up… LOOKING TO FOLLOW UP ON ROBERTO’S OFFENSE WITH A DDT- BUT KELTON SENDS A SHOT TO THE ABDOMEN BEFORE REVERSING IT INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX WHICH DROPS TLA DOWN TO THE CANVAS! TLA grabs his spine while he tries to get back up to his feet, TURNING AROUND AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD OF JON!
Deadprez: Only for Kelton to duck under that and run to the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW TO TAKE TLA DOWN! Kelton then runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A FRONT FLIP SENTON! Kelton tries to get back up to his feet and make his way over to his corner, BUT TLA LUNGES OUT AND GRABS HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE YANKING HIM DOWN! Kelton rolls onto his back while TLA mounts onto him, beginning to hit him with repeated palm strikes toward the head!
Gavin Kirkman: TLA knows that he can’t let Kelton get the tag out to Bronson, so he has to make sure that he hits him with some pummeling offense in order for that not to be a problem. But we know the persistence of Kelton, we know that at some point one wrong move is going to allow him that slight bit of leeway that he needs. TLA relents and gets back up to his feet, beginning to stomp down onto the chest of Jon Kelton to keep him down on the canvas. Kelton is forced to absorb the blows, but quickly rolls to the ropes to force him away. He tries to get back up to his feet, only for TLA to grab him by the arm and send him toward the opposite side of the ring…
( TAG! )
Eve: WHILE KELTON REBOUNDS BACK AND TLA THROWS HIM INTO THE AIR FOR A BACK BODY DROP- WAIT! Kelton manages to land on his feet and roll out of the ring… ‘CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND’! BRONSON DANIELS TAGGED HIMSELF INTO THE MATCH WHILE KELTON REBOUNDED OFF OF HIS SIDE OF THE RING AND KNOCKED TLA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A DOUBLE BACK HANDSPRING PELÉ KICK! BRONSON DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEEE—
Gavin Kirkman: BUT TLA SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Even though that took him by surprise it definitely did not take him out as he shows that he still has some fight in him. But Bronson is already back up to his feet and he knows that he’s going to have to take advantage of this while he has the chance. He grabs TLA by the head and brings him up to his feet, dragging him over to the corner, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE DOWN ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: Bronson from there begins to unload with fists to his face, just trying to soften him up before he goes for some of his signature heavy hitting offense- But TLA isn’t going to take that kindly though, blocking one of his shots and connecting with one of his own before grabbing Bronson by the head and spinning him around before placing him in the corner instead! Bronson tries to fight back, BUT TLA LIFTS HIMSELF UPWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE JAW!
Deadprez: He then throws him down to the center of the ring, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A METEORA TO A SITTING BRONSON- BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AND GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET! TLA gets back up as well after skidding down to a knee, WITH BRONSON POPPING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND TRYING FOR A POWERBOMB- ONLY FOR TLA TO TURN THAT INTO A HURRICANRANA WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN! TLA then gets back up to his feet, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CAVING BRONSON CHEST IN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Gavin Kirkman: TLA pulls himself up to a seated position, Bronson has pushed himself against the ropes, but he’s also making it known that he will not go down without a fight in this tag team match. TLA begins to get himself back up to his feet while Bronson gasps at his chest, trying to grab at the ropes and get back up to his feet, WHILE TLA RUNS FORWARD, GOING FOR A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE- ONLY FOR BRONSON TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
Eve: He rolls himself back up to his feet while TLA approaches him, GOING UNDER AND LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAKE EYES TO THE TURNBUCKLE! Bronson manages to get out of that situation by a hair as he turns around before nailing punches toward his face! He grabs him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring to get a running start… RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SECOND ‘CELESTIAL WIRLWIND’ TO A CORNERED TLA! BUT TLA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Bronson turns around, only to be met by a forearm smash to the face that sends him back into the corner!
Gavin Kirkman: Bronson tries to fight back before anything can go south for him, ONLY FOR TLA TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS ABDOMEN TO TAKE ALL THE BREATH OUT OF HIS LUNGS! Bronson is hurt and TLA looks to take advantage by grabbing him by the head and dragging him toward his corner, slamming him face down onto the top turnbuckle before propping him up and holding out his hand…
( TAG! )
Eve: TAG TO ROBERTO! Roberto enters into the ring while Bronson tries to get out of it, but he’s already going to town on him with strikes to the face! Bronson slowly begins to slouch down to a seated position, while Roberto begins to stomp down on his chest this time! He’s trying to lighten him up and the referee looks to try and intervene to stop the attack…
( TAG! )
Deadprez: BUT ROBERTO TAGS TLA BACK IN! TLA enters the ring while Bronson tries to get back up once again, only for him to pick up where Roberto left off and stomp down onto his chest as well! The two of them move onward with an assault, just completely beating down Bronson Daniels! TLA tries to tag Roberto back in- BUT BRONSON WITH THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY HE HAS LEFT BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE! HE MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE GRABBING TLA BY THE HEAD AND PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH A BULLDOG! BRONSON THEN SCRAMBLES FORWARD AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkman: TAGGING IN JON KELTON! Kelton enters into the ring while TLA tries to get back up to his feet, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH! TLA is taken down to the ground but gets back up to his feet, JUST FOR KELTON TO DROP HIM WITH A HIP TOSS! TLA gets himself up to a seated position, WHILE KELTON LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! Kelton then lifts TLA up, trying his best to fight back, BEFORE KELTON LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! That leaves TLA dazed but he manages to hold his ground, AS HE LEAPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE OF HIS OWN TO KELTON! Jon Kelton rebounds off of the ropes…WHILE TLA SPINS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE OF JON KELTON TO STOP HIS EXPLOSIVE OFFENSE!
Eve: BUT KELTON MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE THEN TURNS TLA AROUND BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH ‘CHANGE THE FUTURE’’! FUTURE SHOCK DDT TO TAKE HIM DOWN! KELTON HIT IT! Kelton looks out of it, having exerted himself too much with that hot tag but he is still looking to pick up the victory. With everyone in the match looking tired, Kelton sees the opportunity and slides himself into a pinfall! Will Kelton get the pin off of the World Champion here tonight!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
…
Gavin Kirkman: BUT ROBERTO GETS INTO THE RING JUST IN TIME TO STOP THE PINFALL! Roberto saves the match but it looks like Bronson Daniels is going to throw his hat into the ring! Taking on Roberto as Kelton gets back up along with TLA! This match is not getting out of control, both teams in the ring battling it out! But it looks like miraculously, TLA and Roberto are getting the upper hand on Elysium! TLA threw out Bronson and Roberto, managing to strike down Kelton with a stiff forearm, laying him out on the mat.
Eve: TLA and Roberto got a big opening here to end this match! Roberto going back to the corner and TLA dragging Kelton over!
( TAG! )
Deadprez: Making the tag, Roberto is now officially and TLA is lifting Kelton back to his feet. TLA holds his arm, exposing that chest for Roberto to go for a MASSIVE CHOP- NO! Kelton gets out of the way and sends a chop to TLA! An accident indeed but I know that must’ve not felt good for TLA! Especially with Roberto not looking so apologetic.
Roberto De La Rosa ( off mic ): Come on, aren’t you World Champion? ¡Puedes aguantar un golpe, levántalo y terminemos con esto!
TLA ( off mic ): Who are you talking to like that? ¡Muestra algo de respeto y discúlpate antes de que te deje inconsciente!
Roberto De La Rosa ( off mic ): ¿Vas a llorar como una niña o vas a ganar este combate? Porque te lo prometo, si me pones una mano encima, no tendrás que preocuparte por defender ese campeonato en el Chamber. ¡Porque te voy a sacar de él!
TLA ( off mic ): ¿Ah, sí?
Roberto De La Rosa: Sí.
Gavin Kirkman: I don’t know what they are saying but their mannerism is telling me that isn’t nothing good- OH! KICK TO THE STOMACH, TLA HITTING ROBERTO WITH THE MEXICAN DESTROYER! ROBERTO IS OUT! TLA HAS SENT A MESSAGE! DON’T DISRESPECT HIM! TLA getting out of the ring and taking his Championship, the only person that seems to be loving this is Harper Lee. Laughing her head off at ringside! Maybe not just her but this is big for Elysium as well! Seeing that Roberto is down, they have the opening they need to finish this match! Kelton grabbing Roberto into a ‘Reverse DDT’ and going over to tag in Bronson!
( TAG! )
Eve: The tag is made and he’s going up to the top rope! WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE! “LEAP OF FAITH”! SPIRAL TAP ONTO ROBERTO! BRONSON DANIELS HOOKS THE LEG! THIS MATCH IS AS GOOD AS OVER!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…JON KELTON AND BRONSON DANIELS…ELYSIUM!
Deadprez: What a hard fought victory for these two, TLA and Roberto were strong, but they didn’t have the teamwork like these two to get the job done! Though it is to be said that there won’t be any teams inside of that Chamber, Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels are going to have to face each other yet again to see who walks out of the Chamber as Champion!
( TLA watches Elysium celebrate as he walks up the ramp with his Championship, Harper Lee not even bothering to watch them celebrate as Ruler continues to stare them down. Roberto seated on the corner, trying to get himself focused as the scene fades to black. )
(Backstage, we find Mikaela Street standing by the locker rooms with a mic in hand. There are various wrestlers behind her walking around, getting ready for their respective roles tonight as she smiles and starts to speak.)
Mikaela Street: Hi everyone! It’s Mikaela here, and one of the special attraction matches at Road to Redemption is none other than the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal. Last week Kennedy Street announced the participants that will be representing the Showdown brand. Those names are Luis De La Rosa, Brianna Hill, TJ Alexander, and Raeangel Guzman. This is an incredible opportunity for these wrestlers to get a chance for not only a big win, but usually the winner of the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal has doors open for them and title opportunity considerations. I was able to catch up with a few them both earlier tonight and some right now. This is what they had to say.
(The footage switches to an interview that Mikaela conducted earlier with TJ Alexander who was walking into the arena with his roller suitcase in hand.)
Mikaela Street: Hey TJ, I just wanted to get a few words about the chance you have in your first Marquee Event in the EAW and with such a short stint, being a new acquisition, what are your feelings about this match especially after scoring some big wins on Showdown?
(TJ stops to talk with Mikaela.)
TJ Alexander: It’s a huge opportunity because let’s face it, Mikaela, I am the wild card, the unknown factor, not too many Elitists have watched me in action, so it gives me a pretty big advantage which I can appreciate. And considering that I already have wins against some of the participants in the match already, I’m ready for anything. I will take the chances I need to really elevate myself to that next level, when Road to Redemption is over, people will remember the name, TJ Alexander. Thank you.
Mikaela Street: Thanks for your time.
(As he walks away, the footage then shifts to another interview that Mikaela Conducted with Brianna Hill who was also entering the building, and she gears up for a match against Nikki Kimura later in the night. She sees Mikaela and stops.)
Brianna Hill: You really want to talk to me, Mikaela. Okay, shoot.
Mikaela Street: I wanted to get your thoughts on Kennedy Street putting you in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal. What do you think are your chances?
Brianna Hill: My chances? That is a bit of a stupid question, but okay I will entertain this, what do you think is going to happen? I am going to win. Kennedy needed some of the best young talent out there and she did just that, but I am sure that you are probably thinking that with all of those Elitists in the match that my chances are pretty null, right? Uh, no. Because it is my time, and I am going to force this company and especially this brand to make sure that I get what I have earned and deserve. Is that all?
Mikaela Street: Yes it is, thank you.
(Brianna Hill walks away as Mikaela looks on. Finally, the footage changes to the last interview that she had, that being with Luis De La Rosa.)
(Mikaela is seen waiting as Luis is in catering looking at all the Canadian goodies.)
Luis De La Rosa: Where are the chicken fingers, homes.
Mikaela Street: Luis… Luis…. Can I get a word with you?
Luis De La Rosa: Si mon, but Mikaela, can you like get me some chicken fingers, eh?
Mikaela Street: Uh… sure. But I need to ask you first about your involvement in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal. Kennedy Street chose you to represent Showdown along with a few others including your La Familia members, Brianna Hill and Raeangel Guzman. Your thoughts?
Luis De La Rosa: Oh right, that. Yeah I am excited, you know. Best part about it is that Persephone is going to be there calling it and stuff, so you know I gotta do good for my heina. She is like my inspiration, but listen, how about those chicken fingers.
Mikaela Street: Uh… right.
(The scene fades back to Mikaela Street, currently live standing in the hallway.)
Mikaela Street: So, I was able to talk to three of the participants, and I am here now with the last of the four, Raeangel Guzman, and I know there has been some frustration with you, some reason losses have you pretty worked up, but now you get the chance to compete in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal, and for many this is a great position to really open the door for some big chances here. Your thoughts?
Raeangel Guzman: My thoughts? My thoughts!? What do you think of my thoughts!? I am mad, no….. I am furious with everything that has been happening to me since The Last Stand! Nothing has gone right since and I am sick and tired of it! What do you think I am going to do, huh!? I’m going to go out there and try to throw everyone out of the ring and to the floor and the thing is? It probably won’t be good enough and it sucks! I am so sick of this, I really am and far as I am concerned, everybody better watch out because I am on like atomic mode and there is nothing anyone can do about it!
Mikaela Street: Uh… okay thanks.
Raeangel Guzman: That is, it? UGH! I hate this place!
(Raeangel storms out as Mikaela looks on, she then turns to the camera.)
Mikaela Street: Well… you heard it from the participants, let’s go down to ringside with Gina Romano ready to make the introductions to the next match.
(The camera fades to ringside with Gina Romano in the ring.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first being accompanied by Silas Mason she is… NIKKKKKKKKKKKKI KIMURRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAA!!!
(Nikki Kimura makes her way down to the ring looking very confident as Silas Mason pumps her up and she enters the ring.)
Eve: We have definitely seen a new side of Nikki Kimura during her association with Silas Mason this season and it has brought her all kinds of success.
Deadprez: Indeed Nikki is really starting to make a name for herself now on Showdown but will that streak of good luck continue here tonight?
( ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits to boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent from Cancun, Mexico she is “El Alma de La Familia” BRRRRRRRRRRRRRIANA HILLLLLLLL!!!
(Brianna Hill is shown making her way out to the ring solo as she yells at the referee to get rid of Silas Mason from ringside.)
Eve: Unfortunately I don’t think Brianna’s protests are going to be received by the referee. Silas is an official representative so he is allowed at ringside as long as he doesn’t interfere in the match.
Gavin Kirkland: I am also an official representative. So I think I need to get a little closer to these fine ass hoes!
Deadprez: Gavin please…
Gavin Kirkland: You are right. I forgot to mention Silas. He is a handsome man as well. See I am not sexist like those SJWs I blocked on X said.
Eve:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The match is now officially underway! Nikki Kimura and Brianna Hill both emerge from their corners and they look to be ready and in the mood to throw down. Brianna smirks cockily at Nikki as Nikki is shown doing leg stretches in the corner. Brianna suddenly rushes Nikki who is stretching and tries to catch her off guard! But Nikki has it scouted and moves out of the way. Nikki is being careful as she knows she will need to be up against a competitor like Brianna. Eventually both of these women go into the middle of the ring and they lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. But Brianna immediately transitions into a Headlock! No! Nikki slips out of it and twists around the arm behind Brianna. But Brianna is in the ropes and the referee forces the break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Nikki Kimura releases the hold and Brianna shoves her back across the ring. Nikki won’t let Brianna get into her head however as she knows that Brianna is just trying to piss her off. Nikki goes to lock up with Brianna again but Brianna goes low with a hard kick to the gut and quickly applies a Headlock of her own onto Nikki. But Nikki falls backwards into the ropes and uses the momentum to shove Brianna across the ring. Brianna runs off the ropes and comes back the other way as Nikki drops her with a running Shoulder Thrust. Brianna falls down to the mat as Nikki jumps looking for a knee drop to her face! But Brianna moves out of the way just in time and Nikki rolls through avoiding any damage to her knee. Both women are back up once again as they stare down in the ring facing off back to zero once more.
Eve: Nikki Kimura grabs Brianna Hill by the arm and whips her across the ring. But Brianna reverses it sending Nikki across instead. Nikki comes running back across the ring as she leaps into the air. But Brianna catches Nikki and throws her up on top of her head and shoulders! No! Nikki manages to flip over the shoulders of Brianna successfully leapfrogging over her opponent! Nikki lands down in the ring on both legs and runs across the ring before coming back and taking Brianna down with a Running Sprear! What an aggressive looking Spear that was! Brianna is thrown down to the ground hard on her back. Brianna slowly pulls herself back up as Nikki rushes in with a Running Clothesline! But Brianna ducks beneath it! Brianna kicks Nikki hard in the gut causing her to keel over! Nikki falls down to her hands and knees as Brianna runs off the ropes and comes rushing in at Nikki with a Running Knee Strike!!!-
Deadprez: But Nikki Kimura smartly evades the deadly maneuver from Brianna Hill! Nikki avoiding some CTE right there and that is always good for the career longevity. Nikki then charges in at Brianna with a Running Clothesline but Brianna moves out of the way! Nikki crashes into the ropes as Brianna runs off the ropes and leaps up to the middle rope before springboarding off as Nikki turns around… Springboard Dropkick connects from Brianna! The cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kickout! These two fine ass babes continue to deliver hot and sexy action! Woohoo!!!
Eve: No! Stop it right now!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! I’ve had enough of you pushing me around! I can’t resist any longer! NIKKI! BRIANNA! I NEED YOU! NOW!
(A slapping noise is heard from commentary as Gavin suddenly gets quiet again.)
Deadprez: We apologize for the technical difficulties. Now back to the match at hand.
Eve: Brianna Hill got a two count in the first fall of the match. But the match rages on! Both competitors slowly get back up to their feet as Brianna rails into the face of Nikki Kimura with a hard forearm! Nikki falls backwards into the ropes but then uses the momentum to rush Brianna with a hard forearm of her own! But Brianna bashes back with three hard forearms! But Nikki kicks Brianna suddenly in the gut! Nikki whips Brianna across the ring but holds onto the arm! Nikki pulls Brianna back in for a Clothesline dropping her down to the mat! Nikki maintains hold of the arm applying an armbar on the ground! But Brianna gets her foot on the rope!-
Referee: BREAK!
Deadprez: Nikki Kimura obeys the referee faithfully and releases the hold as Brianna Hill gets back up. But Nikki is there and grabs her with an Arm Drag into the middle of the ring! Nikki going for the Armbar again but this time in the middle of the ring! No! Brianna rolls through! Brianna rolls back up to her feet as she grabs Nikki from behind and transitions into a DDT! But Nikki gets out of it! Nikki takes Brianna down with a Suplex! But wait Brianna is holding onto the ropes! But look! Silas Mason just kicked the rope out of Brianna’s hand! The referee didn’t see it but that damn Silas Mason stuck his nose in this match where it doesn’t belong!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh so he can get involved but when I even say anything-
Eve: You won’t be saying or doing anything as long as I am here.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: !
Deadprez: Silas Mason kicked the rope out of Brianna’s hand and Nikki Kimura was able to connect with the Suplex! Brianna holds her back in pain as she gets up but Nikki gets around behind her and drops her with a Side Russian Leg Sweep! I’m not even sure if Nikki is aware that Silas interfered there. But honestly this is kind of karma for Brianna. How many matches has she had where members of La Familia have interfered? This is kind of payback for all those wrestlers she has screwed over in the past!
Eve: That’s a good point Dead. I didn’t think of that right away but that has to be frustrating for Brianna to get fed a taste of her own medicine! Nikki has locked her legs around the neck of Brianna on the ground and a headscissors is applied! Brianna is kicking her legs and thrashing around the ring as she tries to get to the ropes to break this thing up. Can she do it?!?!?
Deadprez: She can! Brianna gets to the ropes and the hold is broken. Brianna and Nikki are both back up and Nikki lays into her with repeated knife edge chops. But Brianna fires back with knife edge chops of her own! They are going back and forth! Brianna! Nikki! Brianna! Nikki! Brianna! Brianna! Brianna!
Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill gets the advantage as she lays into Nikki Kimura with aggressive bashing. She is beating the shit out of her! But wait Nikki with a hard punch to the face just as Brianna hits a big chop on her! Both women collapse onto the mat exhausted from their efforts. They are really hitting each other something fierce. They are slowly getting back up and it looks like Nikki is down to throw down. She gets all up in Brianna’s face and slams into her with a headbutt! Nikki falls backwards from the force of her own headbutt as she collects herself on the mat. Nikki gets back up and meets Brianna in the ring. Nikki lifts Brianna up onto her shoulders-
Eve: But Brianna flips over the shoulders of Nikki and rolls her up! Brianna going in for the steal!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: No! Nikki Kimura kicks out! Nikki survives up in here! Silas Mason looked like he was about to lunge into the ring to break up the cover himself! But it’s a good thing he resisted because Nikki would have lost by DQ. But he did get up onto the apron and Brianna just noticed this! Brianna is talking shit to him now as she runs in and shoves him off the apron! But look out! Brianna don’t take your eye off the real threat! Nikki from behind!!!-
Eve: Nikki Kimura grabs Brianna Hill from behind and nails her with a Bridging German Suplex! Nikki got all of it as the referee slides in for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: Kick out! Brianna Hill manages to survive as well. Both women now get back up but Nikki is a bit quicker and charges in with a Running Knee Strike! Nikki nailed Brianna in the head and sent her flying down onto the mat! Brianna continues to roll and falls to the outside of the ring to get a breather. But Nikki out onto the apron as Brianna turns around! Look out Brianna! Nikki leaps!
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura connects with an Asai Moonsault laying out Brianna Hill outside the ring! What a maneuver! But can Nikki get Brianna back into the ring in time?!?! Nikki tries to throw Brianna back in the ring but Brianna is resisting! Brianna shoves Nikki face first into the ring apron! But Nikki hits her with repeated elbow strikes sending her falling back into the steel ring steps! Nikki charges in at Brianna against the ring steps and hits a Running Knee Strike!!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: No! Brianna Hill moved out of the way! Nikki Kimura just shattered her knee cap slamming into the steel ring steps which went flying! Nikki just fucked up big time for real! Nikki is holding her leg and screaming in pain as Brianna grabs her and swings her leg hard into the steel ring steps once again! Silas Mason is now trying to get in between Brianna and Nikki but the referee is yelling at him to stay back! Nikki is yanked by the leg by Brianna across the steps up onto the apron as Brianna herself pulls herself up to the apron! Brianna leaps up off the ropes and comes down across Nikki with a Double Stomp right across her hurt leg! Nikki rolls back into the ring as Brianna follows her beating the referee’s ongoing ten count.
Deadprez: Brianna Hill now goes up to the middle rope as she measures Nikki Kimura in the ring before lunging off the middle rope and driving her fist down hard into the leg of Nikki! Brianna now twisting the leg of Nikki around and is pulling her into the Lasso from El Paso! Nikki is in a bad way now as Brianna is taking full advantage of the pain in Nikki’s leg and twisting her around trying to destroy her in full! It is so over!
Eve: Nikki Kimura taps out!
Deadprez: No! Nikki is holding on! Nikki is making her way to the ropes but she can’t quite reach them! Nikki is reaching out! But she can’t get there… She can’t hold on much longer!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI KIMURA SLAMS HER HAND DOWN ONTO THE MAT!!! IT’S OVER!
Eve: Wait what? Nikki’s hand landed on the ropes!
Deadprez: Wait a minute! Silas Mason just pushed the ring rope out for Nikki’s hand to grab as it came down! Nikki was definitely going to tap there but Silas interfered! And I think the referee saw it this time! The referee is absolutely appalled as he is yelling at Silas to get the hell out of here! Silas is being ejected from ringside!!!
Eve: But Silas Mason is jumping up on the apron and yelling at the referee and refusing to leave! Silas is going to get Nikki disqualified! Brianna Hill has had enough of this as she runs off the ropes and hits a Big Boot to the head of Silas! Silas is sent flying off the apron up the ramp and it looks like if Silas isn’t going to leave on his own then Nikki will force him to do so!-
Deadprez: Wait look out! Nikki Kimura from behind!
Eve: NIKKI KIMURA CONNECTS WITH THE KAMIGOYE!!! THE DEADLY KNEE STRIKE OUT OF NOWHERE JUST KNOCKED BRIANNA THE HELL OUT!!! NIKKI WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to cheers from the crowd as Nikki Kimura has her arm raised in victory.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner NIKKKKKKKKKKKKI KIMURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: That was some bullshit there! Silas screwed Brianna Hill!!
Eve: She sure did. But Nikki Kimura took full advantage of the distraction and managed to pull in the victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe next time Brianna will let me be in her corner to counter Silas’ interference. I think I can be very helpful to her!
Eve: Well maybe more helpful than you are on commentary.
Deadprez: The bar has never been lower.
(The camera cuts to a commercial for GNX.)
(Backstage, the camera pans to Kyra Phillips who is standing by with a mic in hand.)
Kyra Phillips: Hello Showdown fans, In three weeks we are going to have a special tri-brand triple threat tag team match in what many are calling the “Couples Match”. All three brands are being represented, we first have Fire and Ice from Dynasty, as we all know Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts are married. From Voltage we have Dr. Bethany Blue and Adam Lucas, another married couple, and from Showdown, long time dating couple of Veena Adams and Charlie Marr will be wrestling for the Blue Brand and I would like to introduce them here right now.
(Charlie Marr and Veena Adams appear on camera, both of them are int heir wrestling attire ready to compete tonight.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you for joining me, Charlie, you have a match with Ruler here in a few moments, but I wanted to get your thoughts on the match that will happen at Road to Redemption, and it will involve some wrestlers you are very familiar with, one of them is your arch nemesis, Rex McAllister that we all know you had his number last season Voltage.
(Charlie snickers some while Veena looks on with a smile on her face.)
Charlie Marr: How quaint, right? That of all people it is Rex McAllister who is in this match. After everything that I put that man through, continuously beating his arse over and over and shattering every hope he had to become the EAW World Champion, that is what rather pathetic, and when everyone thought he would be challenging me at Pain For Pride: Kingdom, he instead failed again and basically was in a match no one cared about because Jack Ripley was washed. A lot of people are saying this is some sort of consolation match because of what happened to Veena and I at The Last Stand, but that is not the case. If anything, this is just the encore to what happened from both of us at Territorial Invasion when we showed the entire world that the two of us leading our teams meant winning for the first time on Showdown.
(Veena cuts in.)
Veena Adams: Kyra, look at the main picture here. Charlie and I have dealt with Elitists like this before. Raven Roberts last season tried to take the National Elite Championship from me and failed. Rex had like a thousand tries at Charlie and lost. Adam has become Bethany’s lap dog, and we are really the only ones that are not like “pissed off” at our brand. Rex is telling Richard and Kensi that they are fighting for Fire and Ice and not Dynasty. We all know that the grievances from Adam and Bethany on Captain Charisma, they are doing this for themselves, and while we would be lying if we didn’t say the same thing, we can at least appreciate this brand.
(Kyra nods.)
Kyra Philips: Now knowing both teams that are competing, what are you looking to do not only in this match, but tonight and moving forward into the second half of the season?
Charlie Marr: To become World Champions, Kyra, I think that is a pretty easy assumption. Now look, we know that at Road to redemption we are going to lead Showdown to victory, but this is for us to, a big middle finger to this entire company, but we are team players, as I know we walk out with a victory and Kennedy will give us exactly what we want, and that is championship gold.
Veena Adams: I’m going to take care of Miku Sakai tonight, and then I am going get my shot at SOSA Henderson… and THEN… I’m going to go after a World Championship too because it is my time. What the other two couples do not understand is that we have been a tag team before too, and top of that we know what it takes to win. Did Bethany or Adam lead Showdown to victory at Territorial Invasion? No, and Adam had TWO tries at it. Did Raven or Rex do the same thing? No… they did not. So, my question is simple, do they have an advantage over two very hungry Elitists that are at the top of their game? No.
(Kyra nods again.)
Kyra Phillips: One last question as both of you are in action shortly, Charlie your match is coming up right now. Tonight is a challenging night, but what message do you have for your opponents at Road To Redemption, as Charlie, you have had deep seeded issues with Rex, Bethany and Adam.
Charlie Marr: Yeah and I will continue to have my way with them. As for Veena? She is not only become one of the absolute best Elitists in this company, but she is also going to show just like everyone else will witness that no one is going to get in our way.
Veena Adams: I want everyone to remember one thing. I am angry, there is this feeling like I was screwed out of my National Elite Championship as I was this close to breaking the record. But it doesn’t matter anymore, because I am on to bigger and better things and I can guarantee you this, no matter what happens at Road to Redemption, because we like already know we are winning, I will leave you al with this, The Last Stand was the end of my National Elite Championship reign, but the beginning of the rest to my career.
(She flings her hair and walks off as Charlie Marr stands there with a smile on his face, he then walks off with Veena.)
Kyra Phillips: There you have it, Charlie and Veena are ready to take on the world, and are prepared to bring home the victory for themselves and Showdown at Road to Redemption. So, let’s get down to the ring where Charlie Marr faces off against Ruler.
(The camera fades to ringside with Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Singles Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta starts to play loudly around the arena as Charlie Marr holding Veena Adam’s hand slowly come out as the fans boo loudly, but both elitits clearly don’t care as they continue to make their way down the ring with a very concentrated Charlie Marr ready for the match to start.”
Gina Romano: Introducing first… From Tower Hamlets, London, England… Weighing in at 240 pounds… He is… “COLOSSUS”… CHARLIEEEEEEEE MAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!
(Charlie Marr makes his way inside the ring as he starts to stare down the stage as ‘2nd Sucks’ by A Day To Remember starts to play throughout the arena as a mix of cheers and boos can be heard at the sight of Ruler being carried down to the ring by multiple druids.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent… Residing in The Reserved in Boston, Massassuchest… Weighing in at 220 pounds… He is… “THE REVOLUTIONIZER”… RUUUUUUULERRRRRR!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: That’s the sound of the bell as both Charlie Marr and Ruler stare each other down before quickly making their way to the middle of the ring and they do not hold back as both men are trading blows back and forth without any sign of stopping! Ruler! Charlie! Ruler! Charlie! Ruler! Looks like Ruler might get the advantage early on in the match as he looks for a stiff elbow to Charlie Marr, but Charlie is able to step back in order to doge as he charges up a NASTY Headbutt that sends Ruler back towards the ropes as he rebounds off them and is quickly put down with a Snap Suplex onto the mat… NO! Not just yet as it seems Ruler was able to power through the impact to get back up as he’s looking to take down Charlie Marr, but is quickly put back down on the mat for good with a beautiful Big Boot by Charlie Marr as Veena Adams starts clapping while Charlie looks her way with a cocky smirk on his face.
Eve: Charlie Marr may have the early advantage after that sequence, but he can’t get too cocky as Ruler is not someone to keep your eyes off for too long. Charlie starts to slowly approach the downed Ruler as he slowly starts to pick him up, throwing a couple of kicks and slaps in between to remind him of his place before setting him up for another Snap Suplex… Ruler however is able to elbow his way out of it as he pushes Charlie Marr towards the rope, and as he rebounds off the ropes he’s quickly hit with a Pele Kick from Ruler that leaves Charlie Marr dazed! Ruler looking to capitalize after dazing Charlie Marr as he grabs Charlie from behind and connects with a German Suplex… Charlie Marr though is able to shake off that devastating German Suplex as he gets up and tries to go for another Big Boot, but Ruler is able to use that momentum against Charlie Marr as he picks him up and drops him down on his back with a Powerbomb right on the mat! Ruler is now heading to the corner as he starts to climb to the top rope as he looks for a Diving Elbow drop as he takes off and looks like he’s about to hit the mark!
Gavin Kirkland: Zariah and the Druids look intensely at the match as Ruler is about to land the Elbow Drop, but Charlie Marr moves out of the way at the last minute and the always beautiful Veena Adams is cheering that save… Gawd, Charlie Marr is one lucky man… I- I mean did you guys not see him escape that Diving Elbow drop? Heh… Anyways, it looks like Charlie Marr is getting back on his feet ready to capitalize after Ruler hits nothing but the mat after the Diving Elbow Drop. Charlie is back up on his feet as he starts to pick up Ruler as he Irish Whips him towards the rope, Ryker rebounds off them, Charlie Marr picks him up, and drops him down on the mat with a BEAUTIFUL Front Powerslam! Ruler starts to roll out of the ring to the safety of Zariah and his Druids as Charlie Marr tries to keep him inside, but he’s too late. Ruler slowly picks himself up as Charlie Marr is quickly making his way to the outside as he tells Zariah and the Druids off before both men start trading blows back and forth before Charlie Marr throws Ruler on the barricade before picking him up and setting him up for a Powerbomb right on the ring apron! OUCH! The referee now starts the count!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Deadprez: This is getting absolutely wild, folks! The referee’s count is climbing, Charlie Marr slowly picks up Ruler as Ruler is able to throw an uppercut, but these two men are only pushing each other’s buttons as they both just start beating the hell out of each other on the outside! Both Charlie Marr and Ruler are swinging for the fences, and it’s clear this match has devolved into pure, unadulterated chaos! Charlie Marr with a right hand to the jaw of Ruler! Ruler retaliates with another huge uppercut that rocks Charlie back, but Charlie responds with a High Rise Dropkick that sends Ruler stumbling backward!
Eve: There’s no stopping them now! This match continues to build up with intensity as Ruler shakes off the dropkick and hits Charlie Marr with a Forearm Smash that causes him to stumble back a bit as he shakes it off again, and there’s no telling where it’ll go next. The fans are absolutely loving this, but the action is getting harder to control! Both men are laying into each other with every ounce of strength they have left, and neither of them is willing to back down! Charlie Marr throws a vicious punch to the midsection of Ruler though it seems it only makes Ruler get even more intense, and Ruler fires right back with a devastating knee to Charlie Marr’s gut as the referee continues the count!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Gavin Kirkland: This is pure madness! Every time it looks like one of them might be down for the count, they somehow find the strength to keep going! And look at Charlie now as he starts grabbing Ruler by the arm, sending him into the barricade once again! Charlie’s got that look in his eyes, like he’s ready to end it here and now as he starts throwing punches at Ruler once again!
Deadprez: But wait! Ruler is fighting back! He ducks under Charlie’s attempted punch and counters with a swift elbow to the face! The impact sends Charlie stumbling backward, and Ruler grabs him by the shoulders and a little taste of Charlie Marr’s own medicine by THROWING CHARLIE INTO THE BARRICADE AGAIN! And now, Ruler is charging in… NO! Charlie sidesteps and sends Ruler crashing into the steel post instead! THAT WAS STRAIGHT UP NASTY BY CHARLIE MARR!!! What a turn of events!
Eve: That was a huge mistake by Ruler, and Charlie’s taking full advantage! He’s quickly lifting Ruler back to his feet and pushing him toward the ring. Charlie Marr is relentless, tossing Ruler back toward the steel steps trying to keep applying the pressure on him, but NO! Ruler manages to reverse the momentum, shoving Charlie right into the steps himself! Charlie’s head and shoulder smack against the cold steel! That has to hurt! Seems like the referee is being very cautious as he reluctantly continues the count…
Referee: SEVEN!
Referee: EIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: If there’s one thing we know about these two, it’s that they don’t care about pain! They’ll do whatever it takes to destroy each other, and it’s working! Ruler, now with a chance to recover, is stalking Charlie, his eyes burning with intensity. He’s got Charlie by the head as Zariah and his Druids watch very pleased, lifting him up and throwing him into the apron with everything he’s got! The impact is brutal! Charlie just crumbles to the floor, clutching his back! Ruler goes back inside the ring to break the count as he quickly slides back out…
Deadprez: And there’s no time to rest! Ruler quickly grabs Charlie, lifting him to his feet once more, and… OH THAT WAS STRAIGHT UP NASTY! He delivers a vicious Right Hook to the jaw of Charlie Mare that sends Charlie stumbling back toward the barricade. But Charlie isn’t done yet as the Right Hook from Ruler has fired up Charlie Marr as he uses the barricade as support to spring forward with a clothesline that drops Ruler to the floor!
Eve: Both men are down now, and the referee is counting! This could be it if they don’t get back into the ring! The official’s at a count of five, and neither of these elitists looks like they have any intention of stopping! The crowd’s chanting both their names as the action has the crowd really engaged as they start chanting for them both as some fans boo them both loudly as chants for Charlie! Ruler! Charlie! Ruler! continue on!
Gavin Kirkland: I can feel the tension in the air as these fans want to see a winner here tonight, but the referee’s count continues going on! Charlie is up first, pulling himself off the ground. Ruler, on the other hand, looks groggy, struggling to get to his knees. It’s a battle of willpower now but who wants this win more?
Deadprez: Charlie, ever the opportunist, tries to go for a quick strike, but Ruler counters! Ruler grabs Charlie by the waist as he lifts him up… AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A REAL NASTY SPINEBUSTER RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! The force of the impact reverberates through the arena, and Charlie is left gasping for air! WOW! Both these men are giving us a hard hitting battle as the referee continues their count…
Referee: EIGHT!
Referee: NINE!
Eve: My God! I’ve never seen a spinebuster hit with that kind of force! Charlie is clutching his back, writhing in pain, but Ruler is already back on his feet. He’s feeling it now! As he throws Charlie Marr inside the ring as he gets back as well before picking Charlie back up and connecting with “Will of Nicholas” as his signature DDT connects and quickly now Ruler goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This is getting intense! Charlie Marr able to kick out at two! Ruler, looking like he’s ready to put the finishing touches on Charlie, pulls him up by the arm as Charlie Marr looks out of it as Ruler is looking to connect with the “Revolutionizer” Spinning Back Heel Kick, but he’s not done yet! Charlie Marr quickly now with a Small Package as the referee goes for the count, but Ruler is able to kick out before the count as both men get back up before Charlie Marr connects with a massive High Knee! Ruler stumbles back, and Charlie manages to follow up with a big right hook that sends Ruler crashing onto the turnbuckle!
Deadprez: Charlie is making a comeback! He doesn’t care about the pain anymore! Both men are exhausted, but it looks like Charlie’s got something left in the tank. He grabs Ruler by his head before taking a few steps back with him… AND THROWS HIM INTO THE RING POST! The sound of Ruler’s skull meeting that metal post echoes through the arena, and Ruler is slumped against the steel!
Eve: Picking Ruler away from the corner now, Charlie Marr goes for an Irish Whip on Ruler that causes him to rebound before being put down by “The Headmaster Ritual” signature Spinebuster of Charlie Marr! That’s gotta be it! Ruler is down and out! But wait, Charlie’s not going for the pin! He’s taunting the crowd, taking his time to soak in the adulation! Is that arrogance on Charlie’s part, or is he just enjoying the destruction?
Gavin Kirkland: It could be both, Deadprez! I think Charlie’s enjoying every second of this, but Ruler’s not giving up that easily! He’s attempting to pull himself up with help from the ropes, attempting to shake the cobwebs out of his head. And Charlie’s back in trying to put Ruler back down for good as he attempts to go for the “Charing Cross” Discus Lariat finishing move… NO! Ruler ducks underneath! Charlie spins around and BAM! Ruler nails him with a spinning backfist that drops Charlie like a sack of potatoes!
Deadprez: Ruler quickly moves to capitalize! He’s back on top of Charlie, raining down brutal punches to the face! Charlie’s trying to block, but he can’t! Ruler is all over him, throwing everything he’s got! Charlie Made grabs the rope as the referee starts the count as the referee’s count is at four now… Ruler gets off Charlie Marr before he gets disqualified before rolling out of the ring as he pulls Charlie Marr to the outside with him near Zariah and his Druids… Veena Adams is not too happy about this situation as the referee starts their count…
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Eve: Neither man is even thinking about the count right now! They’re too caught up in the moment, but the count is not stopping! Ruler picks up Charlie Marr with a Uranage as he slams him down on the ring apron! Ruler looks at the referee, who’s up to six now and with one last burst of energy, Ruler pushes Charlie toward the apron, rolling him into the ring just before the count gets higher! Both men are now in the ring!
Deadprez: But there’s no room to rest now! Charlie immediately scrambles to his feet and catches Ruler with a jawbreaker that sends Ruler staggering back! The fight is far from over, but both men are running on fumes now! They’re both gasping for air, eyes locked on one another as they circle each other in the ring!
Eve: The intensity is off the charts! Both men know this could be their last chance to win, and they’re pushing themselves to the limit! Ruler charges, but Charlie ducks… AND LOOK AT THIS! CHARLIE MARR WITH ANOTHER SPINEBUSTER “THE HEADMASTER RITUAL” SIGNATURE MOVE CONNECTS! Charlie’s got him right where he wants him! Charlie Marr is now going for the cover…
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But don’t count out Ruler just yet as he kicks out! He’s slowly pushing himself up from the mat, refusing to stay down! You can see the fire in his eyes, and he’s not about to let Charlie have the last laugh!
Deadprez: We’re nearing the end of this one, folks! Ruler is slowly rising to his feet, but Charlie’s already preparing for something big as he’s stalking Ruler, waiting for him to turn around… AND… WAIT! Ruler grabs Charlie… GERMAN SUPLEX! RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Charlie’s back crashes into the corner with a sickening thud! Both men are down again, and it’s anybody’s match at this point!
Eve: The referee starts the count, and it’s becoming clear that this match might not end with a clear winner. Both men have given everything they have, but they’re still fighting, still pushing, and still unwilling to stop!
Deadprez: I don’t know if either man can continue after all of this. They’re both battered, bruised, and barely able to stand. But they’re still fighting! The referee’s count is at nine… CHARLIE AND RULER ARE BOTH ON THEIR FEET! THEY’RE STILL GOING AT IT!
Gavin Kirkland: BOTH MEN ARE TRADING BLOWS BACK AND FORTH AND IT SEEMS THE DRUIDS ARE NOW GETTING INSIDE THE RING AND VEENA ADAMS GETS INSIDE AS WELL AS CHARLIE AND VEENA START TRYING TO TAKE THE DRUIDS DOWN WHILE HAVING TO DEAL WITH RULER AS WELL… THE REFEREE HAS HAD ENOUGH AND SIGNALS FOR THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has ended by a Double Disqualification!!!
Eve: Looks like Veena Adams and Charlie Marr are pissed off at the match being thrown because of those Druids as they start to retreat slowly after they notice Veena Adams brought in a chair before not too long tossing one Charlie Marr’s way as they start to chase the Druids away…
Deadprez: Straight up disappointing way to end a match of this intensity as it seems the Druids, Veena Adams, and Charlie Marr are out of sight as they continue to chase those Druids away.
Gavin Kirkland: I wouldn’t mind seeing Veena’s backside some more heh… Though, it seems Ruler is left more than satisfied as he’s left in the middle of the ring sitting down with a smile on his face.
(The camera zooms in on Ruler’s face as a sinister smile is seen on his face before the scene starts to slowly fade to a commercial break…)
(As it comes back from a commercial break, “True Love” by CFO$ starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand to their feet and boo. Suddenly The Jaded Hearts slowly walk out from the back and to the ring. They are in their street clothes holding the Unified Tag Team Championships proudly. They both make their way to the ring.)
Deadprez: Here are the Unified Tag Team Champions, they recently accepted the challenge from The British Invasion last week on Voltage after taking a vacation wince defending the titles successfully at The Last Stand. They were very lackadaisical and apathetic to the challenge, but for these two women, they see the title defense at Road to Redemption as another day at the office.
Eve: That is true, but when do they ever see anyone worthy of challenging them. One thing is for sure, we are very familiar with The British Invasion, we saw them form and grow here as wrestlers on Showdown and I will tell you right now, these two better not sleep on Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel, talk about two hungry women, that is who they are.
Gavin Kirkland: I love me some Hellcat, and so I am a little biased. But The jaded Hearts are the GOATS, there is no arguing that, but if Persephone can have Luis De La Rosa, I can have Pandora, damn it!
(The Jaded Hearts are in the ring now, both with mics in hand as the crowd continues to boo. The theme dies down as they both pace the ring for a moment before speaking.)
Kassidy Heart: We are in Canada, and you are honored to be in the presence of Canda’s FIRST DAUGHTER… SIENNA JADE!
(The crowd boos because she is from Calgary, and they are in Winnipeg.)
Kassidy Heart: Absolutely no respect! But do we care to have your respect, Winnipeg, Manitoba? Uh no. We do not give a damn! Just like we do not give a damn about The British Invasion and their chances against us at Road to Redemption. I mean, we are pretty much going to kick their asses anyway just for disturbing our vacation! We were on a sunny beach relaxing, working on our tans, digging our toes in the sand and drinking Mai Tai’s, but no, these two dumb British bitches had to come calling us out because they won one match at Wicked Games which wasn’t even a tag team match. I mean seriously, how many tag matches have they had this season?
Sienna Jade: TWO. They have had TWO tag team matches ALL season and we don’t care if that was their fault of Captain Charisma’s fault, the fact is they were teaming up with everyone but themselves. Or they were in Trios matches or singles that they can’t win. We wanted to go on vacation, but we didn’t think it was going to run all the way through Road to Redemption. But since we accepted this match, there was a reason why, simple, we wanted to end on an easy note to close out 2024 and head into 2025 as the Unified Tag Team Champions, continuing to break records.
(Both of them look at one another and start to laugh.)
Kassidy Heart: Look… we love charity, we might be two of the biggest bitches in the EAW, but we like to give back to the little people, we also love to put two little Brits in their places. What is so impressive about Pandora and Halsey? They are fodder, using Daryl Kinkade to elevate themselves which is actually quite sad as well, but I mean come on, let’s talk about this for a moment. Pandora and Halsey are not even reclamation projects, they are losers, with a stupid name and a platform that was given to them in THIS brand, but they go outside of it and look at them now. This is going to be really embarrassing for both of them, but whatever, we are going to head into Edmonton, Alberta… close enough to Calgary and Sienna’s hometown where all of her family is going to be there to watch us continue on our ascension into the history books.
Sienna Jade: That is right, Kassie-Poo, this is it. We are going to end The British Invasion like we ended NICHOLISM. They cannot use that excuse anymo0re that it was NICHOLISM that cost them the Unified Tag Team Championships, when we erase all doubt. I honestly can’t stand these two and when this is all over, The British Invasion will end up like every other tag team Pandora has been a part of, in the “Former Talents” section.
(Kassidy and Sienna start to laugh when suddenly…..)
(BOOM!)
(Kassidy and Sienna both quickly drop to the mats after the firework explosion that came from the ring posts as a British Flag drops from the rafters. The Jaded Hearts look up at it and are not amused by what had just happened. Suddenly the Tron comes on and it is Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel laughing.)
Pandora Paisley: I have never seen two cunts drop to the mats that fast since Methuselah drops his drawers in front of Kassidy.
Halsey Neel: Neither have I, but Kassidy, Sienna, we have been hearing everything that you have been saying out there and let us leave you with this. Look at that flag, glare at it for long as you can, I mean Kassidy you know all about it, we used to dump trash like you in Australia for a prison continent.
Pandora Paisley: Enjoy your homecoming Sienna, at least you can take comfort in knowing that you don’t have to go far to cry yourself asleep in your own bed, flower.
(Pandora and Halsey start to laugh while The Jaded Hearts look on with scowls on their faces.)
Kassidy Heart: We were going to have fun with you two losers, and now? WE WILL END YOU.
Sienna Jade: Once and for all!
(Pandora and Halsey wave as the feed cuts off, The Jaded Hearts do not look happy, as they collect themselves and continue to stare up at the flag.)
Deadprez: Message sent by The British Invasion, and we all know that this is not going to go without punishment by The Jaded Hearts!
Eve: The British Invasion is tough, but they better be careful, because these are two of the most dangerous women on the roster and they do not take too kindly to ridicule!
Gavin Kirkland: They were just giving them a taste of their own medicine! Game on!
(Kassidy and Sienna hold their titles up as “True Love” starts to play throughout the arena as it fades to a commercial break.)
(Saturday Night Showdown returns from a commercial break with ‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, and Benny the Butcher blaring through the arena. Cody Maverick makes his way out, clearly displeased with last week’s outcome. His expression is focused, showing just how serious he’s been about the challenge since then as he heads straight for the ring. Moments later, ‘Ole’ by The Bouncing Souls hits, and Ryan Wilson steps out, brimming with energy and excitement. His high spirits are evident as he prepares to step into the ring tonight, eager to face off alongside the champion.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING TAG TEAM MATCH IS SCHEDULEDFOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… THE TEAM OF!… SIN CITY SUPERSTAR, CODY MAVERICK!… AND THE WORKHORSE!… RYAN!… JOSEPH!… WILSONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Eve: Cody Maverick hasn’t exactly been all smiles lately after falling short against Veena Adams in his pursuit of the EAW National Elite Championship. To make matters worse, he was also robbed of the number one contender spot for the same title by Donovan Duke. Now, both men will have the chance to settle their differences at Road to Redemption in a 30-minute Iron Man Match.
Gavin Kirkland: On the other hand, Ryan Wilson secured a major victory in his hometown that night, earning himself the opportunity to challenge SOSA Henderson for the EAW National Elite Championship at Road to Redemption. The question is, can Ryan pull off the win in his home country? Don’t miss Road to Redemption to find out!
(Wilson steps into the ring as Maverick glances back at him, still visibly reflecting on what transpired between them in the past. Maverick shakes his head, trying to push the thoughts aside and focus on the match at hand. ‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks hits the speakers as Donovan Duke makes his entrance, pointing directly at Cody Maverick in the ring while holding a briefcase in his right hand. As Duke makes his way toward the ring, ‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef takes over, signaling the arrival of SOSA Henderson. The EAW National Elite Champion marches out confidently, the championship draped over his shoulder. Henderson strides down the ramp, his gaze locked firmly on Ryan Wilson, who stands calmly in the center of the ring, patiently waiting for him.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS!… THE TEAM OF!… 2024 CASH IN THE VAULT WINNER!… THE OKHALOMA STORM!… DONOVAN DUKE!… AND EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!… BULLETPROOF!… SOSA!.. HENDERSONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: The EAW National Elite Champion is in the building and set for action tonight, teaming up with an unlikely ally in Donovan Duke—someone he’s had bad blood with earlier this season! Henderson, fresh off his triumph at Last Stand, now carries the gold proudly after cashing in his opportunity against Veena Adams. Meanwhile, Ryan Joseph Wilson has earned his shot at the championship by defeating both Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke to secure his place in the match against Henderson.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke has unfinished business with Cody Maverick as they gear up for their clash at Road to Redemption. Tonight serves as just a preview of what’s to come at the event, with both teams carrying personal rivalries against each other heading into the big night. We’re about to see how this match sets the stage for what lies ahead!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Tag team bout is officially underway! Cody Maverick starts the match, facing Donovan Duke on the opposite side as he steps out of his corner. Both men approach each other slowly, coming face-to-face.
Eve: Duke raises his right hand in the air, inviting a test of strength against the Sin City Superstar. Now both men lock up, and Cody immediately uses his strength advantage to push Duke back against the ropes!
Deadprez: Maverick shows resistance, slowly prying his hands off Duke’s body and retreating cautiously, not making a move just yet as the referee counts from one to four, forcing Maverick to release Donovan.
Gavin Kirkland: Duke and Maverick return to their initial stance, facing each other once again. Both men now approach tactically and with precision. Duke takes the initiative, rushing to the side and slipping behind Maverick, quickly wrapping both arms around Maverick’s waist and taking him down to the mat face-first!
Eve: Maverick anticipates Duke’s game, switching positions to counter the technical takedown and now waistlocking Duke himself but Duke stays alert, quickly turning back around before the hold can fully apply, and thrusts Maverick away by pushing against his gut with both feet!
Deadprez: Duke rolls back to his feet after forcing Maverick away. Cody scrambles up and quickly charges at Donovan with a clothesline, but Donovan ducks under his arm and hoists him up… AIMING TO FINISH THINGS EARLY WITH THE DUKE OF HAZARD!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick slips off Donovan’s shoulders, landing behind him. He spins Donovan around and delivers a kick to the midsection… SETTING UP FOR THE SIN CITY STUNNER!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: However, Duke counters by shoving him toward the ropes, sending Maverick onto the apron! Both men are already looking to bring this match to an end, but their similar strategies collide, leaving both unable to capitalize!
Deadprez: Duke quickly charges at Maverick, who’s perched on the apron, attempting to knock him off but Maverick catches Donovan mid-charge and counters with a powerful right hook, sending him stumbling back into the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick grips the ropes and lines up his next move with precision… SLINGSHOT SHOULDER BLOCK! He launches himself back into the ring, taking Donovan down with an impact! Maverick wastes no time, hooking the leg for the pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: But it’s too early to secure a two-count, as Donovan Duke kicks out immediately to break free! Maverick doesn’t allow him any respite, swiftly dragging Donovan back and putting him in a side headlock!
Eve: Donovan stretches his arm toward Henderson, who’s frantically shouting for him to move closer, but does he even realize Duke can’t escape far enough to reach him? Wilson stands in the corner, searching for an opening or an opportunity to intervene, but nothing seems to align in his favor either. Both teams are on equal footing as Maverick takes control, applying a firm side headlock on Donovan Duke.
Deadprez: Donovan begins to slowly rise to his feet, his body shifting as Maverick maintains control. Duke quickly counters with a sharp strike to Maverick’s midsection, immediately forcing him backward toward the ropes. The impact launches Maverick to the opposite side of the ring, rebounding off the ropes and heading straight back toward Duke… DONOVAN MEETS HIM WITH A QUICK FOREARM, SENDING MAVERICK STUMBLING TO HIS FEET AFTER THE BLOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke continuously charges forward and taking Maverick down with a clothesline! Maverick scrambles back up, staggering toward Donovan… WHO STEPS IN LOOKING FOR A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!!!!
Eve: But Maverick halts him with a well-placed elbow to the top of Duke’s head, breaking the sequence! Maverick follows up with a stinging knife-edge chop, further wearing down his opponent.
Deadprez: … But Donovan fires back with one of his own, landing a chop across the chest of the Sin City Superstar as the crowd roars in approval! Maverick wastes no time retaliating with a chop of his own, slamming across Donovan’s chest. Here we go!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick with a chop! Donovan responds with another! A chop fest has begun between the two, and there’s no sign of it stopping anytime soon!
Eve: Except the party ends abruptly as Maverick gains the upper hand with his superior strength, delivering a series of relentless chops across Donovan’s chest! Mr. Cash in the Vault’s chest might already be turning red from the onslaught!
Deadprez: Maverick grabs Donovan by the head after landing those chops, setting him up for the Fisherman’s Buster. However, Donovan kicks his hooked leg free, forcing Maverick to release him. Donovan quickly fires back with a flurry of elbows, repeatedly connecting with the side of Maverick’s neck!
Gavin Kirkland: Relentless barrage of elbows forces Maverick to retreat under their power. Donovan then throws himself off the ropes and charges toward Maverick… LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT!!!!!!
Eve: BUT MAVERICK CATCHES THE LEAPING DONOVAN, COUNTERING THE ATTEMPT AND SENDING HIM OVERHEAD… CODY WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX PLANTING MR. CASH IN THE VAULT RIGHT ONTO THE MAT!!!!
Eve: Both are now trying to reach out for their tag team partner at the moment. EAW National Elite Champion is looking to put himself in action against his challenger as Ryan reaching out to get down there.
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! YOU ARE WEAK AS SHIT!
(Duke, unsettled by the comment directed at him, quickly pushes himself off the ground and turns to face Henderson.)
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Say that again?
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) Tch.
(SLAP!)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh.
Eve: :lupe:
(TAG!)
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) What an annoying motherfucker.
Deadprez: Henderson clearly shows he doesn’t want to waste time beating around the bush with Donovan, intent on getting the job done tonight. Duke looks back at Henderson, seemingly wanting to approach him, but decides to calm himself down and heads to the apron, visibly displeased with the comment he just received.
Gavin Kirkland: Henderson now picks Maverick up to his feet, twisting his arm and pulling it further to stretch, causing Maverick to wince in pain!
Eve: Henderson twists the arm one last time to intensify the stretch before scooping Maverick up from underneath!… He attempts to toss him over with a Back Suplex, but Maverick manages to slip out, landing behind Henderson and finding himself at his team’s corner! Maverick charging out–
(TAG!)
Eve: And– oh?
Gavin Kirkland: And it’s Ryan Joseph Wilson who’s now a legal man!
(Maverick, clearly upset with what Ryan just did, immediately grabs him by the shoulder and tries to talk him down with frustration.)
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) Are you that desperate?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (Off-Mic) … What?
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) I was supposed to still be the legal man in this match, and you just suddenly took that away from me? I haven’t given you a signal yet. Who do you think you are?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (Off-Mic) And who do you think YOU are, trying to boss me around like you run this place?
Gavin Kirkland: This is not a good look! Both men are arguing–
Eve: WHICH CREATES AN OPENING FOR SOSA HENDERSON TO STRIKE FROM BEHIND, SWIFTLY SHOVING RYAN FORWARD WITH A FORCEFUL PUSH TO HIS BACK, CAUSING HIM TO CRASH INTO MAVERICK AND SEND HIM TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: HENDERSON ROLLING RYAN UP FROM BEHIND IN AN ATTEMPT TO SNATCH THE VICTORY AND BRING THIS MATCH TO AN ABRUPT CONCLUSION!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: TWO! KICKING OUT BY WILSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson rolls back to his feet, only to be greeted by Henderson with a kick to the gut, putting Ryan in a vulnerable position. Henderson grabs Wilson by the wrist, attempting to toss him to the opposite side of the ring but Wilson twists Henderson’s arm, pulling him in, and sends him over… NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON, DRIVING HENDERSON BACK TO THE MAT!!!!!!
Eve: Henderson has been planted to the mat by Wilson. Wilson crawls over to check on Maverick, who was sent to the outside and appears to be regaining his footing. Wilson then leans against the corner, spotting Henderson positioned at the opposite corner. WILSON CHARGES TOWARD HENDERSON SETTING UP FOR A HELLUVA KICK ACROSS HENDERSON’S JAW!!!!
Deadprez: EAW National Elite Champion has other plans, lifting both boots and knocking Ryan backward into the ring! Wilson tries to approach again… BUT THIS TIME, HENDERSON CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK ACROSS HIS JAW, SENDING WILSON RETREATING TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Henderson bursts out of the corner, charging toward Wilson… A ROLLING THUNDER METEORA!!!!! HENDERSON LANDS BOTH KNEES ON WILSON’S CHEST AND IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO A COVER!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: WILSON KICKS OUT AGAIN AT TWO!!!
Eve: Wilson has been trying to pull tricks out of the bag, but nothing seems to be coming to fruition so far, with Henderson maintaining control.
Deadprez: Henderson now gets into a kneeling position, locking eyes with Ryan in the corner as Wilson slowly rises to his feet. Henderson appears to be preparing to hit a big move to take full advantage of the moment–
(TAG!)
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) What the fu–
Gavin Kirkland: And a tag! Donovan Duke has entered the ring!
(A frustrated SOSA Henderson immediately spins Donovan around by his shoulder and begins speaking to him directly.)
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) What you think you are doing?
(Donovan Duke says nothing and simply turns away to focus on the match, but Henderson isn’t having it and spins him back around again.)
SOSA Henderson: (Off-Mic) HEY I’M TALKING TO YOU–
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK ONE OF HIS OPPONENTS, BUT DUKE, AWARE OF THE ATTEMPT, DUCKED UNDER, CAUSING RYAN TO INADVERTENTLY NAIL HENDERSON WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE INSTEAD!
Eve: Henderson tumbles to the ground and rolls to the outside. Wilson quickly reestablishes his position in the ring as Duke starts getting back to his feet, processing what just happened. Wilson charges forward… THROWING HIMSELF TO THE MAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONNECT A ROLL INTO SPEAR WITH DONOVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: COUNTER! Duke counters immediately, catching Wilson mid-attack. He underhooks both arms, lifting him onto one shoulder… CLIFFHANGER DDT BY DONOVAN DUKE, PLANTING THE WORKHORSE TO THE MAT!!!!!!! DUKE ROLLS WILSON OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND A KICK OUT YET AGAIN BY RYAN WILSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson has done a great job keeping this match alive, maintaining relentless momentum no matter what challenges are thrown his way. Meanwhile, Cody Maverick slides back into the ring just as Donovan Duke gets to his feet… MAVERICK CHARGING IN AND ATTEMPTING A LIGHTS OUT PUNCH!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: But Donovan ducks underneath the strike and quickly propels himself off the ropes, charging back at Maverick… SPEAR!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Maverick has been cut in half by Donovan with a devastating running Spear, catching him completely off guard! Donovan Duke is holding his own against both of his opponents, showcasing his resilience. Duke quickly shifting his focus back to Ryan, who is already in significant pain, and he hoists him onto his shoulders… SETTING UP FOR THE DUKE OF HAZARD!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan struggles, refusing to give in, and relentlessly lands back elbows to the side of Donovan’s head, trying to force him to release the hold. Eventually, Duke lets go, and Wilson immediately leaps off the ground… TRYING TO LAND AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE BACK OF DONOVAN’S HEAD!!!!
Eve: Duke ducks under the kick and charges toward Wilson, who turns to face him… DUKE SPINS AROUND, AIMING FOR DEALER’S CHOICE, BUT WILSON MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT AS WELL!!!!!
Deadprez: Wilson ducks under and takes off toward the ropes, bouncing off the middle rope and launching himself back with a daring high risk move aimed at Donovan!… BUT HE’S CAUGHT MID-AIR!!!!! DONOVAN SHUTS HIM DOWN WITH DEALER’S CHOICE!!!! MAH GAWDDDDD!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT AN INCREDIBLE COUNTER BY DONOVAN DUKE, PUTTING WILSON RIGHT IN HIS PLACE IN THIS MATCH!!! DUKE IMMEDIATELY DROPS FOR THE COVER!!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD, RYAN IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!!! HE KICKS OUT!!!!
Eve: Duke seems to already anticipate what’s coming next as he makes his way toward the corner. He begins climbing to the top rope, possibly setting up to further punish Ryan with Stack the Decks!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: And the EAW National Elite Champion has just tagged in while Donovan couldn’t make it to the top to capitalize on his challenger at Road to Redemption, who’s now back on his feet! … BUT MAVERICK HAS REENTERED THE RING, RECOVERING FROM THAT SPEAR, AND STUNS HIM FURTHER WITH A VICIOUS DISCUS PUNCH!
Eve: Duke, noticing his partner being taken out, shoves him aside and charges at Maverick, aiming to take him down with a clothesline to send him outside. However, Maverick evades, pulling the ropes down and sending Donovan over the top instead!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke crashes to the outside, and Maverick quickly rolls under the bottom rope, pulling himself back to his feet while keeping a close eye on Donovan! … PLEASE DON’T DIE!!! WHAT A MOVE BY MAVERICK!!! CODY MAVERICK LAUNCHES HIMSELF WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT FROM THE APRON, TAKING DONOVAN DUKE DOWN WITH HIM ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!!!
Deadprez: Now shifting focus back to the action inside the ring, Henderson is recovering from the discus punch… GIVING RYAN JUST ENOUGH TIME TO CLOSE IN AND ATTEMPT TO HOOK HENDERSON FOR THE SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER!!!!! MIC DROP!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: He’s aiming to drive him headfirst into the mat, but Henderson refuses to let Wilson bury him just yet. Instead, he counters with a hard thrust to Wilson’s midsection, sending him crashing into the turnbuckles! Henderson follows up with a series of shoulder thrusts, driving further pain into Wilson’s gut!
Gavin Kirkland: Henderson turns around and sprints across the ring, charging from one corner to the opposite side to attack Wilson. However, Wilson counters the running assault with a Reverse Elbow right across Henderson’s jaw from the corner! … BUT HENDERSON FIRES BACK WITH A GAMENGIRI, STUNNING HIS CHALLENGER AND SENDING HIM RIGHT BACK INTO THE CORNER!!!!!
Deadprez: Henderson pushes himself to his feet, grabs hold of Wilson, and sends him to the mat with a snapmare! … HENDERSON ATTEMPTS A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON WILSON!!!
Eve: Wilson narrowly rolls out of the way just in time, clutching his head as he rises back to his feet. Wilson approaches Henderson, who looks to strike with a clothesline—but he misses! … WILSON FAKES HIM OUT AND CONNECTS WITH A NORTHERN LARIAT RIGHT TO THE BACK OF HENDERSON’S HEAD!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! Wilson has gained the upper hand and is determined to prove he’s truly deserving of this opportunity to challenge SOSA Henderson for the EAW National Elite Championship! Wilson pulls Henderson back to his feet once again, hooking him up for what could be a defining moment! … MIC DROP INCOMING!!!!!!!
Deadprez: BUT HENDERSON FLIPS OUT OF THE SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER, LANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF WILSON! HOW ON EARTH DID HE PULL THAT OFF?! Wilson swings for a clothesline, but Henderson ducks and takes off toward the ropes, rebounding with momentum! … HENDERSON GOES FOR HIS SIGNATURE SPEAR!!!!!!!!
Eve: BUT WILSON SIDESTEPS, LETTING HIM CHARGE THROUGH! … WILSON QUICKLY SPINS HIM AROUND AND DELIVERS LA BOMBE BLEUE WITH PRECISION!!!!!!!!!! WILSON CONNECTS AND DROPS INTO THE COVER!!! THIS COULD BE IT FOR THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!–
Eve: SO CLOSE! SO CLOSE! HENDERSON KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson has the momentum firmly in his grasp and looks ready to bring this match to an end after everything that’s transpired! He knows he’s capable of finishing it and is looking to prove it now!
Deadprez: Maverick is calling out to Ryan, urging him to take a smarter approach, but Ryan refuses to listen… STUBBORNLY PRESSING FORWARD AS HE SETS UP FOR THE MIC DROP ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
Eve: However, Henderson yet again counters with a back body drop, launching Wilson overhead and sending him stumbling into his team’s corner, giving Maverick the opening to make the tag!
(TAG!)
Eve: Wilson misses the opportunity to seal the match on his own terms, allowing Maverick to enter the ring. Maverick wastes no time, quickly targeting Henderson and looking to end it with the Lights Out Punch! … BUT HENDERSON CATCHES HIS ARM AND SWINGS OUT OF THE WAY! … HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR THE JML DRIVER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick counters, breaking free of the hold and taking Henderson down with an armdrag! Maverick, who defeated Henderson earlier this season, remains laser-focused on replicating that victory once again!
Deadprez: Henderson rolls back to his feet and IMMEDIATELY LEAPS TOWARD MAVERICK, ATTEMPTING THE STOLE YO BITCH—THE JUMPING CUTTER!!!!!! But Maverick counters, shoving Henderson away! Henderson pauses momentarily after being pushed, then turns back to approach Maverick … ONLY FOR MAVERICK TO TAKE THE CHARGING HENDERSON DOWN WITH A SPINNING SCOOP SLAM!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Now Wilson is getting back to his feet, looking to end this match right here, yelling at Cody to help him out and get Henderson back to his feet! Maverick quickly assists his partner, and Ryan moves out of the way!… WILSON CHARGES IN FOR SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.4, BUT THE KNEE ALMOST CONNECTS WITH CODY AS HENDERSON MANAGES TO DODGE JUST IN TIME!!!
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic, pushes Ryan) What the hell is wrong with you?!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is furious with Ryan for almost taking him out of the equation, while Wilson seems even more annoyed with Maverick’s attitude! Here comes Donovan Duke, RUSHING INTO THE RING AND THROWING HIMSELF RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ARGUMENT, KNOCKING MAVERICK DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND!
Deadprez: Maverick spills to the outside as the legal man gets attacked, but Donovan doesn’t seem to care at this point and continues brawling with Maverick on the outside! Meanwhile, Henderson tackles Wilson by both legs inside the ring, and the two men start throwing punches at each other!
Eve: This has completely devolved into chaos! How is the referee supposed to regain control of this situation?
Gavin Kirkland: That’s one of the main concerns right now as our focus shifts to Donovan Duke, who just drove Maverick across the barricade, with their brawl spilling into the crowd area! Inside the ring, Henderson is running laps around his challenger, throwing a flurry of punches as the referee desperately tries to stop him from attacking a man who isn’t even tagged into the match!
Deadprez: On the outside, Maverick attempts to fight back, but Donovan stays relentless, driving him headfirst into the crowd’s guardrail, sending him toppling to the ground. Donovan continues his assault, stomping and hammering Maverick down! Meanwhile, inside the ring, the referee tries to stop Henderson from attacking Ryan, but Henderson shoves the referee aside, sending him out of the ring, before going back to choke Ryan out!!!!
Eve: Additional referees rush to the ring, attempting to pull Henderson off Wilson to stop the suffocation! Security teams from the arena doors rush in to separate Maverick and Donovan, but Maverick runs down the side…. CIRCLING AROUND TO JUMP ON DONOVAN AND REIGNITE THEIR BRAWL!!!!! THIS MATCH HAS COMPLETELY DESCENDED INTO CHAOS AND HAS TO BE THROWN OUT AT THIS POINT! THINGS ARE SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Brawl from two different rivalries set to take place at Road to Redemption has spilled all over the arena! This match has completely spiraled out of control without a clear result tonight, ladies and gentlemen! We need to get this situation under control first!
(One of the referees stand up.)
Referee: (Off-Mic) CANCEL THIS MATCH IMMEDIATELY! WE NEED TO HALT PROCEEDINGS!
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, following the referee’s sudden decision to take this course of action…. this match has been declared a no contest!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And the match has officially been thrown out to defuse this situation! Both sides of the rivalries are now in action, trying to put an immediate stop to this chaos!
Eve: Officials in the ring are desperately trying to save Ryan from being choked out by SOSA Henderson, while outside the ring, the brawl between Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke continues despite all efforts to break it up!
Deadprez: What an unfortunate ending to this great tag team matchup, but it certainly makes Road to Redemption even more intriguing!
(Brawls rage on with no end in sight as the crowd continues to boo in disappointment over tonight’s match ending as Showdown fades into a commercial break.)
(A commercial break airs for The Greatest Rapper of All Time, Kendrick Lamar’s brand new album “GNX”, featuring a scene of Bronson Daniels working out in his personal gym while listening to the music.)
(We return from commercial break and the camera is panning around the arena and ringside area before the sounds of ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne fill the arena and the crowd starts cheering wildly as the Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks enters the arena. She has the Universal Women’s Championship belt on her shoulder and she bops to her theme on the entrance ramp before heading to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring at this time, the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! “THE SUPERNOVA” MILLI BANKS!
Deadprez: Here comes the Universal Women’s Champion! Milli Banks is coming to the ring and there is no doubt that Milli has something to say about what happened last week on Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: Milli Banks is so gorgeous that she could talk about what she had for dinner and I would listen to every word she’d say.
Eve: You’re creepy, but I wouldn’t doubt that you would do that. Milli Banks is about three weeks away from having to defend her title against five hungry challengers in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but we all know that Milli Banks is up for the job regardless of how much adversity is thrown in her face. So, let’s hear what the Champion has to say.
(Milli grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before she enters the ring. Once in the ring she does dancing a little more to her entrance theme before it fades off. Once her theme is off, she listens to the crowd’s cheers as she takes off her sunglasses and lets the crowd cheer a little more before they quiet down and Milli begins to speak.)
Milli Banks: As great as it is that I was able to pick up the victory last week, it was due to a disqualification. Having another win on my record is great, but a disqualification just wasn’t as satisfying as I would have liked it to have been considering that I was on my way to pinning and beating Harper Lee on my own in the first place when I was attacked in the ring.
Milli Banks: And that someone was MIKU SAKAI! Miku Sakai decided to stick her nose further in my business because she is a deranged lunatic and hungry for championship gold. I don’t blame her for being jealous and hungry for my title, but that was a huge mistake on her part.
Milli Banks: Since we have reached the subject of Championship Gold, let’s talk about Road to Redemption and the Extreme Elimination Chamber match where I have to defend my glorious Universal Women’s Championship against five challengers across all three brands.
Milli Banks: Some people think that Road to Redemption and the Chamber will be where my title reign will be in the biggest jeopardy thus far, but as far as I am concerned, it’s just another day at the office for me as the Universal Women’s Champion.
Milli Banks: Throughout my reign as champion, I have not backed away from any challenge that has been thrown at me and Road to Redemption will be no different. I will walk into Extreme Elimination Chamber as the Universal Women’s Champion, and I will walk OUT of the Extreme Elimination Chamber as the Universal Women’s Champion and throwing five challengers at me isn’t going to make a difference to me. As far as I am concerned, STEP RIGHT UP!
(The fire in Milli’s voices leads to the crowd cheering for the fan favorite Universal Women’s Champion as she has made it clear that she isn’t backing down from this challenge.)
Milli Banks: You know what? How about I do one better? Why wait until Road to Redemption to step up? How about my challengers come out to the ring. RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!
(Milli starts looking up the entrance ramp as she waits for her opponents at Road to Redemption to come to the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t you love how confident our Universal Women’s Champion is? She just threw down the gauntlet for all her opposition to come to the ring.
Eve: With all the elements involved in the Chamber at Road to Redemption, this could get really ugly, really fast.
Deadprez: It might not because nobody has come down to the ring yet and that probably doesn’t sit well with Milli.
Milli Banks: It looks like nobody wants to accept my invitation. I guess that just shows–
???: Hold on a second. You’re not as alone as you expect yourself to be.
(Milli looks around in confusion wondering who in the world cut her off until the camera focuses in on the stands as we now see KASAI with a microphone in hand.)
KASAI: That’s right, Milli. I’m here and I have a few things to say to you.
KASAI: Yeah, we had our match for the Universal Women’s Championship a few months ago at The Last Stand, but that victory you got over me was nothing but LUCK! But if you expect to have the same sort of luck against me in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, then you are dead wrong.
KASAI: At Road to Redemption, you can kiss your title goodbye because you might be walking into the Chamber as Champion, but you sure as hell aren’t going to leave as Champion. That honor is going to go to ME!
???: Keep dreaming!
(The camera cuts to another part of the arena where we see Holly Arrow coming out and she also has a microphone in hand and she has something to say.)
Holly Arrow: It’s nice to have dreams, doesn’t it, KASAI? Now you have it in your mind that you are going to win the Universal Women’s Championship, but you really shouldn’t get your hopes up.
Holly Arrow: As for me, I have had a lot of chances to win the first singles championship of my career, and even though those attempts haven’t had the best results for me, I really feel like this opportunity is different.
Holly Arrow: I really feel like this opportunity at the title is DEFINITELY the opportunity for me. This is my time. This is my chance to become the Universal Women’s Champion and you can’t tempt fate.
???: Fate? Yeah sure.
(The camera cuts to another part of the arena where we see the appearance of Ms. Extreme. She doesn’t look too amused as she also has a microphone in hand.)
Ms. Extreme: Now before anybody else starts shit, I’ll say this right now. I am well aware that this season hasn’t exactly been the best for me and there are some people who have an opinion about me being in this match.
Ms. Extreme: With the record I have had recently, I really don’t belong in this match, do I? But whatever the case, I am in this match and I am going to make the most of this opportunity. I am not going to deny that winning the Extreme Elimination Chamber and being the one who hold the Universal Women’s Championship up high would make things so much better and it would make all the adversity and trouble I have gone through this season all worth it.
???: Then I guess this won’t be worth it, will it?
(The camera cuts to another part of the arena and we see Bea Valentine with a microphone as she looks a little emotional.)
Bea Valentine: If anybody has had trials and tribulations lately, IT’S ME!! Things have just never been the same since I’ve lost my precious Gloria and I still haven’t fully recovered from losing her. Nights have just been so cold ever since then.
Bea Valentine: So if anybody needs this match and the Universal Women’s Championship, it’s ME!! I’ll be damned if I go any longer than necessary without gold in my life and I will do everything within my power to make sure that you all FALL at my hands so I can be called Champion again.
???: Damn, you bitches sound all sound so sad. It’s really starting to make me sick.
(All the ladies look up at the video screen and see Miku Sakai on the screen and she has a devious smirk on her face.)
Miku Sakai: You dumb bitches might be stupid enough to come out, but yeah… no. My match is coming up next and I sure as hell am not going to come out to the ring right now. But rest assured, bitches, if anybody is going to be leaving Road to Redemption as the Universal Women’s Champion, it’s going to be ME!
Miku Sakai: But first I am going to dispose of that stupid silicone whore Veena Adams. So what you see in our match is just going to be a small taste of what you stupid whores are going to experience at Road to Redemption.
(Milli looks at the screen before shaking her head and bringing up her microphone, deciding to wrap up all this fun.)
Milli Banks: Well, ladies, you all look very determined to take this title away from me and I wish you the best of luck because you sure as hell are going to need as much luck as you can handle because I am not going to lose this title without a fight.
Milli Banks: That’s because I don’t plan on losing this title at all. Get used to this sight. Me holding the Universal Women’s Championship when Road to Redemption is all said and done. Get ready to accept bankruptcy!
(Milli holds the Universal Women’s Championship in the air as her entrance music starts playing again as all the challengers look on.)
Eve: You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen. All the challengers for the Universal Women’s Championship have made their cases, but Milli Banks is banking on retaining her title at Road to Redemption.
Deadprez: That match is going to be a hell of a fight. Coming up next is our main event. Veena Adams. Miku Sakai. A Lumberjack and Jill match. Stay Tuned!!
(The camera cuts to all five challengers around the arena looking at the Universal Women’s Championship before cutting back to Milli still holding the title up high in the air as the camera cuts to the last commercial break.)
(The camera shot returns from commercial break, and we see the Showdown Elitists finishing coming down to the ring as they start to surround the ring as they prepare for tonight’s main event before we start to hear Deadprez on commentary.)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Showdown and as you can see, the locker room of Showdown, for the exception of one Auburn Ware, has come out to ringside as they surround the ring to play the part of the Lumberjacks and Lumberjills for tonight’s main event.
Gavin Kirkland: Ohhhh. This is going to be an amazing match with two beauties in the ring. I am so excited!
Eve: General Manager Kennedy Street wanted some extra assurance that this match ends in the ring, so let’s send it to the ring to Gina Romano for the introductions.
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano as she has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for tonight’s main event.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It is a special LUMBERJACK AND JILL MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts playing as the crowd gives a mixed, but negative reaction to the arena entrance of Veena Adams. She looks ready for business as she doesn’t waste any time as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring! From Greenwich, Connecticut! Weighing 137 pounds! Here is “THE GOLDEN STAR” VEENA ADAMS!
Deadprez: Here comes Veena Adams as she heads to the ring for a very special singles match with a woman who she has had a rivalry building up with in Miku Sakai.
Eve: It all started when Miku issued the challenge to the then National Elite Champion Veena Adams at The Last Stand, but SOSA put the kibosh on that when he cashed in on Veena.
Gavin Kirkland: Veena is still not in a good mood, but she is looking to gain some momentum as she and Charlie Marr head to Road to Redemption. But the beautiful Veena better be careful because her opponent is out to kill.
(Veena looks at some of the Elitists surrounding the ring, mostly in disgust, as she enters the ring. She takes her corner and begins preparing for the match as her music is replaced by “STFU!” by Rina Sawayama as Miku Sakai enters the ring. She has fire in her eyes a devilish grin on her face as she storms to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! From Fukui, Japan! Weighing 110 pounds. Here is MIKU SAKAI!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Miku and she looks PISSED! Actually, I think that’s kind of hot if you ask me.
Eve: You are disturbing! But Miku has been waiting for another chance to get her hands on Veena as she goes full speed to the ring to hopefully tear Veena apart.
Deadprez: Miku might not be challenging for the National Elite Championship, but Miku has a chance to become the Universal Women’s Champion as she is one of five challengers in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. But tonight is about Miku and Veena settling their rivalry. Who will win? We’re about to find out.
(Miku slides into the ring and heads right to Veena, but the referee gets in between them and forces Miku back to a neutral corner. Miku looks pissed as her music fades off, but she holds her composure long enough for the referee to call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! This match has been a long time coming AND MIKU SAKAI BARELY WAITS FOR THE BELL BEFORE SHE JUST STARTS POUNDING THE CRAP OUT OF VEENA ADAMS! SHE IS FED UP WITH VEENA!
Deadprez: Miku grabs Veena by the hair and pulls her to the corner BEFORE USING HER MOMENTUM AND TOSSING VEENA ACROSS THE RING BY THE HAIR AND ALMOST OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a Lumberjack and Jill match. That means if either Veena or Miku end up outside of the ring, it is the job of the people around the ring to throw them back in… and nothing else!
Deadprez: Yeah good luck with that as Miku grabs Veena by the hair again AND VEENA WITH A SHOT TO THE RIBS! ANOTHER AND ANOTHER FORCES MIKU TO LET VEENA GO! Now Veena grabs Miku by the arm and whips her to the ropes–
Eve: MIKU REVERSE! Now it’s Veena who is sent to the ropes. Veena with a rebound as Miku puts her head down AND VEENA STOPS IN HER TRACKS AND KICKS MIKU RIGHT IN THE FACE
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Miku flies back and holds her face in pain as Veena hits the ropes again to build some energy before coming back AND HITTING THE THESZ PRESS TAKING MIKU DOWN!
Eve: STRAIGHT PUNCHES CATCHING MIKU IN THE HEAD AS THE REFEREE TELLS VEENA TO OPEN UP THE FISTS BEFORE STARTING A COUNT! THE REFEREE HITS FOUR AND VEENA OPENS UP!
Deadprez: Veena does not wanna risk disqualification in this match, especially against Miku Sakai who attacked Veena after her title defense at The Last Stand. Ever since, it has been a game of one upmanship between these two.
Gavin Kirkland: They are both beautiful and I am glad we are having this match right now. Now Veena is returning the favor as she has a double handful of Miku’s hair and SPINS HER AROUND IN A CIRCLE! STOP THAT!!
Eve: That’s almost like a modified Giant Swing AND VEENA FINALLY LETS MIKU GO AND MIKU GOES SAILING BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE ROPES AND FALLING OUT OF THE RING!
Deadprez: Now it’s the job of the people surrounding the ring to get Miku out of the ring, but she has found herself next to Cody Maverick and Ruler as they don’t look to be in any hurry. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, DAWG?
Gavin Kirkland: They are SMART! They are letting Miku get her bearings and allowing her to get back in the ring on her own free will. There is no need for hostility right now, Prezzy.
Deadprez: That’s a load of crap, Gavin! Miku is back in the ring as Veena is ready for her. Veena has Miku by the neck AND GOES FOR A SNAPMARE, BUT MIKU LANDS ON HER FEET BEFORE THROWING A BACK KICK THAT CAUGHT VEENA IN THE GUT!
Eve: Miku hits the ropes before coming back AS VEENA GRABS HER TO COUNTER INTO A SIDEWALK SLAM, BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO GET FREE AND COUNTER WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER THAT TAKES VEENA FOR THE RIDE–
Gavin Kirkland: THE FORCE OF THE MOVE TOOK VEENA COMPLETELY OUT OF THE RING! Veena is on the floor in front of TLA and Ryan Joseph Wilson. WHY AREN’T THEY DOING THEIR JOBS?
Eve: You like both women in the ring, but you still find a way to be biased. Why am I not surprised? But just like how they left Miku alone earlier, they are doing the same thing for Veena for the moment. How long will that decorum last?
Deadprez: I am expecting a disaster. No if, but when. Now Veena is back in the ring and Miku was waiting for Veena AS MIKU LEAVES HER FEET AND GRABS VEENA FOR THE JUMPING SNAPMARE–
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA CAUGHT HER AND STAYED ON HER FEET! Veena moves Miku into the position she wants before LIFTING HER UP AGAIN! OH THIS ISN’T GOING TO BE GOOD!
Eve: AND IT ISN’T AS VEENA COUNTERS INTO A BACK SUPLEX! MIKU’S HEAD SNAPPED BACK AFTER THAT AS VEENA ACTUALLY BRIDGES UP FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO-
Deadprez: MIKU KICKS OUT AT TWO! Veena quickly gets back to her feet and rolls Miku onto her back BEFORE VEENA STARTS GOING TO TOWN WITH THE MMA STYLE STRIKES TO THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHY ISN’T THE REFEREE COUNTING? THOSE ARE ILLEGAL!!
Deadprez: There are no closed fists within that barrage of attack so it’s as legal as a suplex. BUT MIKU IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE ROPES! Veena doesn’t care AS SHE PULLS MIKU AWAY FROM THE ROPES!
Eve: Veena with the facelock and SHE QUICKLY SNAPS MIKU OVER WITH THE SUPLEX! Veena decides to change up her arsenal as she decides to climb onto the second rope. Veena adjusts her kneepad for that Diving Knee Drop–
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK! MIKU WAS PLAYING POSSUM AS SHE GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND JUMPS ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND CATCHES THE LOVELY VEENA WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD–
Eve: The force of the kick sends Veena over the top rope, BUT SHE CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT, PREVENTING HERSELF FROM HITTING THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Veena is trying to recover as she gets back to her feet, BUT MIKU WITH A DROPKICK SENDING VEENA FLYING TO THE FLOOR AND THE WAITING LUMBERJACKS AND JILLS–
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT THIS! CHARLIE MARR CAUGHT VEENA! CHARLIE IS A LUCKY BASTARD! I WISH I WAS CHARLIE MARR RIGHT NOW! Saving his lovely Veena from certain doom–
Eve: AND HERE COMES MIKU SAKAI WITH A SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT SENTON TO THE OUTSIDE AND SHE TAKES BOTH CHARLIE AND VEENA OUT WITH ONE SHOT! NOW ALL THREE COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!
Deadprez: All the lumberjacks are running to the chaos, and it seems like battlelines are drawn at the moment between the ones who prefer Veena and the ones that prefer Miku.
Gavin Kirkland: The only one who is allowed to stare at those beautiful ladies is ME! Everybody else needs to do their jobs and get them back into the ring.
Deadprez: If you would calm your ass for a second, you would see that’s exactly what they are doing. Raeangel Guzman has hold of Miku while Nikki Kimura has Veena, and they roll both competitors back into the ring and go back to their neutral sides of the ring.
(When Deadprez finishes his sentence, the camera cuts to the top of the entrance ramp where we see Dynasty’s Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts watching the match very closely.)
Eve: Well, look who is here! The Combination of Fire and Ice are here, and I am not surprised to see them watching this match considering what is going to happen at Road to Redemption.
Gavin Kirkland: You got that right! Triple threat Interbrand Tag Team Showcase match. Veena and Charlie Marr are representing Showdown while Raven and Rex are representing Dynasty. It is almost like an awkward date night considering teams are either married or in a serious relationship. SHOWDOWN WILL WIN!
(The camera then cuts to behind the timekeeper’s area where we see Voltage’s Dr. Bethany Blue and Adam Lucas, who are also watching this match very closely.)
Eve: It wouldn’t be official if we didn’t have Voltage’s representatives in the tag team match here at ringside as Dr. Bethany Blue and Adam Lucas are also here watching the action.
Gavin Kirkland: This showcase match is going to be a breeze for Showdown. Bethany has Adam whipped while Raven and Rex are the old couple in this group. Cakewalk for Showdown!
Deadprez: As we get back to the match, both women are back to their feet as we have a stare down in the middle of the ring. Both ladies are talking a lot of trash to each other. These two absolutely HATE each other–
Eve: MIKU JUST SLAPPED VEENA ACROSS THE FACE! OHH THAT WASN’T SMART MIKU! Veena’s eyes just went pitch black AND SHE HITS A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND BOTH WOMEN ARE BRAWLING IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Deadprez: These two women are just beating the holy hell out of each other as one half of the ring is cheering for Veena, and the other half is rooting on Miku.
Gavin Kirkland: I love to see the fur fly sometimes. I just hope the first thing to go is the clothes. WOOHOO!
Deadprez: This isn’t a damn catfight, Gavin! THIS IS A FIST FIGHT! The referee is trying to break them apart, but I don’t think a count is going to stop them.
Eve: The referee is just letting them beat the hell out of each other. It’s the only way we are going to have a definitive winner in this match.
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SAKAI CAUGHT A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE TO GIVE VEENA THE EDGE IN THAT FIGHT! Now Veena pulls Miku onto her knees and Veena is sitting on Miku’s shoulders almost–
Veena Adams: (off-mic) KISS THE MAT, BITCH!
Eve: Eloquently put by Veena AS SHE DOES THE SCISSORS STOMP TO MIKU SAKAI! VEENA IS DRIVING MIKU’S FACE INTO THE MAT REPEATEDLY AND THAT IS A LEGAL MOVE!
Deadprez: Veena believes she made Miku dizzy enough so she finishes it off WITH AN ELBOW TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD SENDING MIKU DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Miku is holding her head in pain as she tries to roll over to the ropes, but Veena is hot on her heels. All Miku wants is to catch a breather.
Eve: There is no time for that in this match as Veena goes to grab Miku, BUT MIKU GRABS VEENA BY THE FRONT OF THE TIGHTS AND SENDS VEENA SAILING OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Veena is down AND HERE COMES KASSIDY HEART WITH STRAIGHT BOOTS TO HER PRETTY MUCH ESTRANGED NIECE! AND HERE COMES SIENNA JADE! THE JADED HEARTS ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF VEENA!
Gavin Kirkland: Kass and Sienna are so helpful. They bring Veena back up to her feet and roll her back in the ring so she can continue competing. Aren’t our Tag Team Champions the best?
Deadprez: Did you miss the part where they smashed Veena’s face against the apron before rolling her back into the ring. That gives Miku Sakai an opening as she hits the ropes before coming back–
Eve: AND HITTING A RUNNING DROPKICK THAT HITS VEENA IN THE FACE BEFORE SENDING HER BACK AND HITTING THE ROPES! VEENA IS DOWN AS MIKU PULLS VEENA AWAY FROM THE ROPES BY THE HAIR AND STACKS HER UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHH–
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA KICKS OUT AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES! WOOHOO! Can we get a replay of that cover?
Eve: No you sick bastard! Veena is holding the back of her head as Miku pulls her up to her feet once again using the hair as Miku whips her over to the corner. Veena hits the turnbuckle and MIKU COMES RUNNING IN BEFORE LEAVING HER FEET!
Deadprez: Miku grabs Veena and falls back for the MONKEY FLIP, BUT VEENA IS ABLE TO DO ALMOST A KIP UP IN MIDAIR AND LAND ON HER FEET! WHAT CREATIVITY BY VEENA!
Gavin Kirkland: Aww but poor Miku isn’t happy that happened!
Eve: What else is new?
Gavin Kirkland: LET ME FINISH! Miku quickly gets back to her feet AND WENT FOR THE RUNNING HIP ATTACK, BUT VEENA CAUGHT IN THE AIR AGAIN! Such beauty and power Veena is. I love them both.
Deadprez: You need help. Right now, Miku needs help as well as Veena has Miku in the waistlock AND SHE ALMOST DEADLIFTS MIKU INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HER WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku showing ring awareness as she rolled through to prevent Veena from going for a cover and Miku is once again trying to roll way to the ropes. Veena goes to grab Miku–
Deadprez: MIKU ONCE AGAIN GRABS THE TIGHTS AND THIS TIME SENDS VEENA FACE FIRST INTO THE ROPES! Miku quickly scrambles to her feet and hits the far side ropes to build momentum as she comes back–
Eve: JUMPING KNEE STRIKE BY VEENA! MIKU WAS GOING FOR THE DROPKICK AGAIN AND THAT KNEE FROM VEENA CAUGHT MIKU RIGHT ON THE JAW AND SENDS HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Miku could have a few teeth loosened as Veena grabs hold of Miku’s legs and she could be going for a Boston Crab here.
Eve: Nope! She is dragging Miku closer to the ropes. Veena has Miku right where she wants her AND FALLS BACK FOR THE SLINGSHOT! MIKU GOES SAILING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE CRASHES ONTO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Miku is in the wrong part of the ring as we see Jon Kelton and Donovan Duke putting the boots to Miku Sakai on the outside. They’ve had their issues with Miku in the past.
Gavin Kirkland: The only issues I see are that Kelton has issues with being a loser and Donovan is a damn screwball with mental issues. They are being unfair with Miku Sakai.
Eve: Biased once again, Gavin, but Duke and Kelton do roll Miku back into the ring WITHOUT SMASHING HER FACE INTO THE APRON and Veena grabs Miku and lifts her up for the powerbomb
Deadprez: AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH THE LUNGBLOWER! “EFFECTIVE” BY VEENA AND THAT WAS AN EFFECTIVE MOVE AS VEENA NOW HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHRRRRREEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU KICKS OUT! YAY! These two could fight forever and I wouldn’t mind. I love Showdown! Let’s keep this match going forever!
Deadprez: This has been a hard fought match thus far and it doesn’t look anywhere near close to being finished as Veena backs towards one of the corners and she crouches down! WE KNOW WHAT’S ABOUT TO COME!
Eve: Veena is looking for the infamous Adams Family Spear! That’s a staple in the arsenal of anybody associated with the Adams Family. She’s calling for Miku to get back to her feet. She wants to try and end it here!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is slowly trying to get back to her feet and if she knew what was coming, she wouldn’t turn around. YOU HEAR ME, MIKU? DON’T TURN AROUND!
Eve: Shut the hell up for gawd’s sake. She can’t hear you because Miku is back on her feet and she turns right around to what could be her fate AS VEENA GOES FULL SPEED FOR THE SPEAR–
Deadprez: SHE MIGHT HAVE HEARD GAVIN AS MIKU GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! VEENA WAS GOING TOO FAST AND SHE KEPT ON GOING AND SHE SPEARED THE RING POST BY MISTAKE!
Gavin Kirkland: BAHAHAHAHAHA! DON’T DOUBT MY CAPABILITIES! Miku and myself are so in sync that it is so crazy. Did you see that?
Eve: Yeah yeah. We all saw it and Miku is pointing to her head trying to tell us that she’s smarter than, in her words, a bottle blonde silicone whore. Miku is proud of herself as she walks over to the corner and just shoves Veena out of the ring to the floor.
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! This is exactly what we were waiting to see happen. It wasn’t like last time where there are two attacking Veena. ALMOST HALF THE ROSTER IS BEATING UP ON THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: They just are showing their support for Miku Sakai. Is there anything wrong with that? Showing solidarity with a competitor in the ring?
Deadprez: Yeah by beating the hell out of her. That’s real fair. I think they believe that they have done enough damage as they roll Veena back into the ring and Miku is going to pick up what’s left.
Eve: Normally, Miku gets cutesy in this position in the match. Instead she lifts up Veena and has her almost upside down BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH “STARFALL”! HOLY CRAP! WHAT A VERTEBREAKER BY MIKU AS SHE DRIVES VEENA DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena looks like she was knocked out with that move as Miku goes for the cover! This could end it here!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Eve: VEENA KICKS OUT AT TWO! WHAT A NEAR FALL FOR MIKU SAKAI AND SHE IS NOT HAPPY! Miku is getting in the referee’s face and screaming that it was a three count.
Deadprez: Miku can get pissy all she wants, but the referee is telling her that it was a two count and this is a big mistake on Miku’s part. The more she argues, the more time she gives Veena to recover.
Gavin Kirkland: The referee just needs to learn how to count a proper three count and we wouldn’t have to worry about this happening, would we?
Eve: You are ridiculous. Miku just shoved the referee in a show of even more disrespect as she turned around AND THIS TIME THE SPEAR CONNECTS! THE WORLD FAMOUS SPEAR DIRECTLY HIT MIKU AND MIKU WAS TURNED INSIDE OUT! VEENA DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: MIKU BARELY GOT THAT SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! Near fall for Veena as she pounds the mat in frustration! Miku is barely moving and Veena drags her over to the corner in the hopes of putting the exclamation point on this match as she goes to the top rope!
Gavin Kirkland: I love watching Veena climb to the top rope. I love watching Veena do anything and she looks ready to end this match here and now as she gets her balance AND JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! VEENA LOOKING FOR “TWISTED VEENA”–
Deadprez: NOBODY HOME AS MIKU ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! VEENA CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE MAT! Ugly landing for Veena as she slow to the recovery–
Eve: BUT HERE COMES MIKU SAKAI FROM BEHIND WITH A ROLLUP! O’CONNOR ROLL FROM MIKU AND VEENA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND! MIKU HAS THE TIGHTS! MIKU IS USING THE TIGHTS FOR LEVERAGE!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA IS ABLE TO ROLL BACK AT THE LAST SECOND AND REVERSE THE ROLLUP! NOW MIKU’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
Eve: NOW VEENA HAS THE TIGHTS! TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY IN THIS CASE! WILL MIKU FALL VICTIM TO HER OWN TRICK?
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: MIKU BARELY KICKED OUT AT TWO! That was very close to backfiring on Miku as she kicks Veena away towards the ropes. Miku is back on her feet and Veena turns around into THE RUNNING KNEE FROM MIKU!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena falls to the mat as Miku drags Veena to the corner by the hair and has her sitting in the corner with her back against the turnbuckles as Miku backs up.
Eve: MIKU COMES RUNNING FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE CORNER GOING FOR THE “MUSTACHE RIDE” BRONCO BUSTER, BUT VEENA GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND MIKU HAS AN UGLY LANDING IN THE CORNER AFTER MEETING THE RING POST HERSELF!
Deadprez: Miku falls out onto the apron as Veena climbs onto the second rope and waits for Miku to get back to her feet as Veena eyes her victim.
Gavin Kirkland: Miku slowly makes it back to her feet even though she is in extreme lower pain after that miscue with the ring post AND VEENA DIVES OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND CATCHES POOR MIKU WITH THE DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS POOR MIKU FLYING OFF THE APRON!
Deadprez: NOBODY CHOSE TO CATCH HER AS SHE HITS THE FLOOR AND NOW IT’S MIKU’S TURN TO GET THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF HER! IT’S ONLY FAIR!
Eve: One side showing it’s disdain for Veena and the other for Miku. What is Veena doing? She is asking for them to bring her back to her feet! What does Veena have in mind?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know, but it’s illegal! REF! I LOVE VEENA, BUT SHE NEEDS TO BE DISQUALIFIED FOR THIS!
Eve: TJ Alexander and Bronson Daniels have hold of Miku’s arms bringing her back to her feet as Veena hits the far side ropes to build up speed AS SHE DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES AND HITS A BEAUTIFUL SUICIDE DIVE ON MIKU SAKAI!
Deadprez: Neither of these ladies are necessarily popular in the eyes of the crowd, but they are giving Veena her credit for that move. Veena has hold of Miku as she chooses to roll her back into the ring before quickly following suit.
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is being smart as she rolls over to the ropes once again to force any break she can as Veena comes to get her. Veena grabs Miku off the ropes and brings her back to her feet–
Eve: HARPER LEE! HARPER LEE GRABBED VEENA’S ANKLE AND DISTRACTED HER LONG ENOUGH FOR MIKU TO CATCH VEENA OFF GUARD WITH SOME “CAT SCRATCH FEVER”! SHE JUST CLAWED THE HELL OUT OF VEENA’S EYES!
Deadprez: Harper is still trying to get at Veena, but Veena is fighting her off AND NOW BRIANNA HILL IS FINDING HERSELF IN THE MIX AND THE LUMBERJILLS ARE TWO ON ONE AGAINST VEENA!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the Lumberjacks and Lumberjills on the other side AND THEY ARE ALL SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF ALL THIS! LET’S SEE A FIGHT!
Deadprez: That won’t happen! I just heard that General Manager Kennedy Street has forbidden any fighting amongst the Lumberjacks and Lumberjills or else. So the best they can do is just yell at each other for now.
Eve: WAIT A SECOND! VEENA IS STILL FIGHTING OFF HARPER AND BRIANNA, BUT LOOK AT MIKU SAKAI! SHE’S BACK IN THE RING! SHE USED THE CHAOS TO HER ADVANTAGE TO GO UNDER THE RING AND GRAB A BASEBALL BAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is winding up for the final hit of the game and to give her victory she desires as she heads towards Road to Redemption. The referee has no idea that Miku has the bat.
Eve: The referee is still with Brianna and Harper trying to stop them from getting into the ring as Veena has managed to get free for now, BUT MIKU SAKAI IS GETTING READY TO TAKE VEENA’S HEAD OFF WITH THE BASEBALL BAT–
Deadprez: HOLD ON A SECOND! SOMEONE CAUGHT THE BAT!
Gavin Kirkland: OF COURSE IT WAS HER!
Eve: MILLI BANKS! MILLI SAVED VEENA FROM HAVING HER BRAINS BASHED IN AS MILLI ROLLED INTO THE RING AND GRABBED THE BASEBALL BAT AT THE BEST POSSIBLE TIME! AND NOW THERE IS A TUG OF WAR GOING ON WITH THE WEAPON BETWEEN MILLI AND MIKU!
Gavin Kirkland: This is kind of hot if you ask me! Champion and future challenger are having a fight over that bat. Miku wants to bash her skull in and Milli is protecting her friend. Her very beautiful friend.
Deadprez: Shut up, Gavin. These two are fighting, BUT MILLI HAS THE BAT! MILLI TOOK THE BAT AWAY FROM MIKU AND MIKU IS PISSED! MIKU IS SCREAMING AT MILLI AND MILLI JUST SMIRKS AND TELLS MIKU TO TURN AROUND–
Eve: SPEAR! VEENA CAUGHT MIKU WITH ANOTHER SPEAR! Milli is rolling out of the ring as Veena drags Miku over to the corner and Veena once again is climbing to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Miku. I don’t think she saw this coming as Veena is on the top rope. The referee has broken up the chaos outside as everybody goes back to their neutral sides of the ring. Miku is down and Veena is in position AS SHE FLIPS BACK OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Deadprez: SHE GOT IT! “FATAL VOW” CONNECTS AND IT WAS A DIRECT HIT WITH THAT MOONSAULT STOMP! DID MIKU’S UNDERHANDED TACTICS COME BACK TO HAUNT HER AS VEENA ROLLS HER OVER FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“7 Rings” starts playing again as Veena slowly rolls off of Miku as the crowd gives Veena a warmer reaction than usual for her victory. She is catching her breath as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… VEENA ADAMS!
Deadprez: Well, this has been a match that has lived up to the hype. These two ladies beat the hell out of each other in this match. Only one could win and that one was Veena Adams.
Eve: Miku tried to take a shortcut with that baseball bat to get the victory, but Veena’s friend or colleague Milli Banks proved to be the difference maker in this match. Milli got a little payback after last week.
(Veena is back to her feet and the referee raises her arm in victory as the lumberjacks and lumberjills start to leave ringside and Charlie enters the ring to celebrate with Veena. Meanwhile Fire and Ice as well as Bethany and Adam are still watching from their respective spots.)
Gavin Kirkland: I mean yeah, Miku tried to use a bat, but before that, she really worked her ass off in this match to gain a little bit of retribution because of what Veena did. She almost did it too.
Eve: She almost had the match, but that one mistake cost her the match. She was close, but it was Milli who helped turn the tide in Veena’s favor to give her the victory.
(Veena and Charlie have left the ring while Miku is slowly recovering while Milli watches on from ringside before once again showing Fire and Ice and Bethany and Adam watching everything unfold.)
Gavin Kirkland: There is certainly a lot to unravel watching everybody who is still at ringside. Especially with Road to Redemption coming up. Things are only starting to heat up and I am all for it.
Eve: Oh yeah. We have a Triple Threat Interbrand Tag Team Showcase match with all three teams making their presences felt in or around this match. We also have the Universal Women’s Championship on the line in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Milli defends, but she might have just found the wrath of Miku Sakai.
Deadprez: So much action that will be coming to a head at Road to Redemption and these are just two of the many high profile matches coming your way in a few weeks. For Eve and Gavin Kirkland. I am Deadprez. Goodnight Everybody!
(The final shot shows Veena celebrating her victory at the base of the entrance ramp with Charlie Marr before cutting to Rex and Raven and then Bethany and Adam before cutting to Milli Banks with a smirk on her face before finally cutting to a very angry Miku Sakai sitting in the ring as the shot fades to black.)
