Showdown 12/5/20

(EAW intro plays.)

(A recap of last week’s episode is shown as Kassidy would find the address of Bethany Blue and Alexis Chambers which would play into the episode later on. The show would then formally open up with a war of words between all the competitors in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match. All would state their claim to that Answers World Championship and a brawl would break out. The Answers World Champion, Jamie O’Hara would end up being the last man standing. In our first contest of the night, Ronan Malosi would square off with Harper Lee. Ronan and Ryan’s dastardly tactics would prove to not work as Ronan was beaten by Harper Lee. However, the Hot Take King was not gonna take that loss quietly as he would factor into another part of the show. Up next, Maxwell, Lucas Johnson, and Bashar Jackson would break out into an argument. One noteworthy thing is that Lucas would go on to say at the end of it that they better watch what he does later on in the night. Bronson Daniels would have an interview next ahead of Road to Redemption and document what exactly this opportunity means to him. We would then have a clash of champion as Sierra Bradford took on Consuela Rose Ava. Consuela would end up victorious thanks to help from Ronan Malosi who would cost Sierra Bradford the match. Both women weren’t happy about Ronan’s intrusion and thanks to a little help from Harper Lee, they’d begin to exact a little measure of revenge. But before too much damage could be done, Ronan would be saved by his tag team partner in Ryan Wilson as the two retreated up the ramp. Afterwards, Ryan Wilson would have an interaction with Kid Ohio. Ryan would go on to make Kid Ohio a showdown representative in the elimination match taking place come Road to Redemption. James Ranger and Justin Windgate would have a match next as a sort of Road to Redemption preview where Justin Windgate would be victorious in a hard fought battle. We’d see another interview featuring Jon Kelton where he detailed his mindset going into the big match at Road to Redemption. Then Kassidy Heart would invade the condo of Alexis Chambers and Bethany Blue, Kassidy Heart again wanting Bethany Blue to accept her challenge. Kassidy would get her wish and leave the condo. But not before taking out Nurse Goldstein, Bethany would promise that Kassidy would pay at Road to Redemption. Harlow Reichert and Candice Blair would face off next with Harlow winding up victorious. The real story comes after the match where a full on brawl broke out between the Specialists Chamber participants where Harlow stood tall. We’d then have a similar interview with Andrea Valentine detailing her change in attitude and what the match at Road to Redemption means to her. Finally, we’d have our main event featuring SKA and Jamie O’Hara. SKA would be jumped beforehand by Andrea Valentine which played a factor in his match with Jamie where SKA put up quite a fight but would be on the losing end of the matchup. Lucas Johnson would follow up on his promise from earlier in the night and truly made a statement by taking SKA out with a vicious assault after the match. Ryan Wilson would take notice of this attitude and add Lucas to the Extreme Elimination Chamber match as a stunning end to Showdown as the recap ends.)

(RECAP END.)

(The camera switches to the World 1 Theatre where pyro shoots up the stage in a blue and white pattern, before switching around the facility seeing the virtual fans excited for the show on the screens.)

Eve: Ladies and gentlemen, once again, WELCOME TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!

Deadprez: And we are one week away now from Road to Redemption! Can you just feel the excitement?

Gavin Kirkland: I’m feelin it, plus that contract signing later tonight. :mjlit:

Eve: Not only that, but we’re taking you down memory lane and showcasing some bright spots from this terrible year in the world, and we’re gonna show you in its full entirely some of the best matches under the Showdown banner!

Deadprez: Well, let’s get these kicked off, and oh lord, look in the ring.

(The camera transitions to the stage as ‘Bow Down (Instrumental)’ by I Prevail transitions to ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ by Mick Gordon blasts through the speakers as the crowd drowns the music out with boos as Chained Fury make their way out to the stage. Ryan Wilson is wearing his ring gear with a Ryan Wilson EAW branded shirt over it as Ronan Malosi comes out in casual attire as both of them look to one another before making their way down the ramp and to the ring as they enter in. They have a whole set with a red carpet overlaying the canvas in the ring along with two black sequin chairs and foldable steel chairs for their guest. There’s a TV stand placed between the two pairs of chairs with a screen that reads “The Rated R&R Show” as both Ryan and Ronan take a seat next to one another and take a mic each as ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ fades out and Ronan begins to speak)

Ronan Malosi: I think this is a very special occasion isn’t it Ryan?

Ryan Wilson: You might just be right Ronan! I wonder why? You know, to be honest, it could be because this is the debut of the ehm… RATED R&R SHOW!!! Yes yes, thank you hold your applause. But because this is the go-home show for Road To Redemption on the Showdown brand and I feel like we’re starting it off splendidly kicking it off with must-see television.

Ronan Malosi: Yup, you’ve got that right. Virtual fans at home take a good look at us, in all of our glory, you know why? Because this will be the last time you see us without Championship gold around our waist. In just a week’s time, we’ll be back here on the Showdown brand, and we’ll have fancy titles around both of our waists, in record time too. Me and Ryan are the total package, we know each other down to a science, beautifully. Sure we had some rough spots, I’m sure I said this before but I’m sorry for attacking your mom.

Ryan Wilson: No no it’s all cool, actually hold on…

(Ryan takes out his phone and looks through it for a moment before holding it up to Ronan. It then shows Magdalena Wilson answering the facetime call as Ronan’s face lights up with a smile as he sees her)

Ronan Malosi: I see you’ve been watching!

Magdalena Wilson: On behalf of me and my son, you have been forgiven.

Ronan Malosi: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: Does this mean I can show up for Christmas???

Magdalena Wilson: No.

(Magdalena abruptly hangs up as Ronan looks shocked for a moment before shaking his head in disappointment as Ryan chuckles before putting his phone back into his pocket)

Ryan Wilson: Tough break huh?

Ronan Malosi: Eh it’s all cool-

(Before long the lights begin to flash as Ryan and Ronan look around with excited looks on their faces as they both get up off their seat)

Ryan Wilson: I think it’s that time!

Ronan Malosi: Allow me to tell the people at home what this is all about. We welcome you now to Hot Take Breaks where I’m sure you already get the gist of what we’re getting at here and let’s start this off! HOT TAKE!!!

Ryan Wilson: Whew alright this is my first time doing one of these so let’s see how this goes. Chained Fury will beat The Realm at Road To Redemption!

(The crowd boos as both Ryan and Ronan look to one another and shrug)

Ronan Malosi: Tough crowd, not really a Hot Take in my eyes, just facts.

Ryan Wilson: I see your point. But of course, there have to be those people who absolutely hate and despise us and just want to see us fail, disgusting ain’t it?

Ronan Malosi: I don’t really get it do I? ANYWAYS HOT TAKE! RYAN WILSON AND RONAN MALOSI ARE THE BEST WRESTLERS TO WALK PLANET EARTH! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

(The crowd continues to boo as Ryan and Ronan laugh with one another before taking a seat as the lights go back to normal as they sigh)

Ryan Wilson: Ah, good times. Anyway, apparently, we have some guests tonight! This should be gold. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome out here now your current Unified Tag Team Champions soon to be former, HARPER LEE AND SIERRA BRADFORD! THE REALM!!!

(‘In Over My Head’ by grandson plays up as the crowd begins to cheer loudly. Before long “Sierra Bradford” and “Harper Lee” make their way out to the stage as the crowd goes sour. It is not the Unified Tag Team Champions, rather just two average-looking girls one with brown hair and one with blonde hair as they both have cardboard titles around their shoulders as they high-five one another and skip down to the ring. They slide in and take a seat across from Chained Fury as Ryan and Ronan look to one another with smug looks on their faces before ‘In Over My Head’ fades out)

Ronan Malosi: Thank you for joining us today ladies!

“Sierra Bradford”: Oh-Em-JEE! No problem! Anything for the fans!

“Harper Lee”: They’re booing doe eye-dee-kay why. :mjcry:

“Sierra Bradford”: :krabs: Do they hate us now??? We’re supposed to be the good girls, right?

Ryan Wilson: Ladies ladies calm down I guess they’re just being a bit negative today I don’t know why myself it must be in the air tonight then again it’s New Jersey. So let’s get started with the questions since what’s a talk show without them?! How do you think about your chances against two fine specimens like us?

“Harper Lee”: Well uhh if I can be honest with you now I’m kinda scared. I feel like, to begin with, we didn’t deserve these titles and now we’re being put up against… yikes… competition…

“Sierra Bradford”: We’ve legitimately had it ez ever since we won these titles but now I think EAW management is out to get us giving us actual opposition after we… did certain favors for them…

Ronan Malosi: :yikes: That’s a bummer, say what do you think about us?

“Harper Lee”: Well… what more can we say? You two are the opposition that we’ve called out for ever since we won these titles, I didn’t expect them to actually feed us to you though…

“Sierra Bradford”: I expected to be given people like The Liquid Swordz or The Blicky Boyz, not you guys, now I feel contrary to them like our Tag Title reign is in jeopardy…

Ryan Wilson: You’ve got that right. Anyways let’s get on the million-dollar question, la pièce de résistance. Tell us, which team is walking out with the Unified Tag Team Championships at Road To Redemption?

“Sierra Bradford” & “Harper Lee”: Chained-

Sierra Bradford & Harper Lee: THE REALM!

Ryan Wilson & Ronan Malosi: :krabs:!!!

(‘In Over My Head’ plays up once more as the real Sierra Bradford and Harper Lee push through the backstage curtain and run out to the stage and down to the ramp absolutely livid with the Unified Tag Team Championships around their waist. They slide in as all of a sudden Chained Fury roll out of the ring and circle around the ring before they find themselves at the bottom of the ramp. The Realm give a glare at “The Realm” as the fake Sierra Bradford and Harper Lee slide out of the ring screaming as The Realm begin to absolutely tear apart The Rated R&R Show set before turning over to them as they yell at Ryan and Ronan on the ramp before taking a mic as ‘In Over My Head’ fades out and they look at Chained Fury)

Harper Lee: Where’s that confidence now huh???

Sierra Bradford: We’re the special guests aren’t we? Maybe you should slide back in and continue the show right-

(Before long the Hot Take Break flashing lights interrupt them as they look up for a moment before back at the ramp as Ryan and Ronan look to one another with smirks before turning back to The Realm as Ryan circles around the ring yelling at them from the outside as Ronan makes his way down the ramp)

Ronan Malosi: HOT TAKE!!! THE REALM THAT WAS JUST ON THE SHOW BEFORE IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THE ONES WE SEE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! SUCH FRAUDS!

(Sierra and Harper laugh as they yell at Ronan to get into the ring before…)

Deadprez: RYAN SLIDING IN AS HE BLINDSIDES SIERRA FROM BEHIND! NOW LOOK AT RONAN SLIDING IN AS WELL AND ATTACKING HARPER! THEY’VE GOT THE REALM RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT THEM!

Eve: Ryan throwing Harper out of the ring as Chained Fury are not wasting any time grabbing Sierra and setting her up! DEATH-THEORY! DEATH-RO CHAOS THEORY COMBO CONNECTS!

Gavin Kirkland: Now look at Harper sliding back into the ring, BUT SHE MEETS A DEATH-THEORY FOR HER TROUBLES AS WELL!

(Ronan and Ryan look at one another with a smirk before taking the Unified Tag Titles off the waists of Sierra and Harper as they raise it high in the air before hugging one another as ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ plays up as Showdown transitions to commercial break.)

(GoFundMe starring Harlow Reichert where she puts one up to heal her injuries from matches that were definitely not PURE, #EndHardcoreWrestling.)

JAMES RANGER VS RYAN WILSON – TBP ASAP

(The scene switches backstage where Consuela Rose Ava stands in front of the camera. She then holds the Interwire Championship in the frame up close.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Take a good look, because this isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. Ever since Grand Rampage, I have reigned as the Interwire Champion, and I have defended the championship with honor and I have taken on all comers. I have actually already won two triple threat matches to retain my title, and this weekend, I will do it for a third time as I get one step closer to breaking that record and becoming the longest reigning Interwire Champion. I am aware of the challenge I am going to have to go through in order to accomplish that, I would be silly to overlook competitors like James and Justin. I already told James he wasn’t on my radar, but it’s a good thing he shocked the world and has a championship match with me, because I’m a sucker for underdog stories. But his underdog story has no happy ending when he steps into the ring with me. His underdog story will end with a loss to me in the record books as I edge my self in the record books for a different reason.

(Consuela takes a deep breath.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Some say he should have minded his business and he doesn’t belong in this match between me and James. Some others have said he’s being stupid and cashing in in advance, and even worse, putting himself in a situation where he doesn’t even have to get beaten to squander his opportunity. But, I don’t agree with that. He saw a match with two of the hardest workers on this roster in me and James Ranger, and he wanted to be a part of it, which I’m not holding against him. I will agree that it will he a waste of the 24/7 contract because you’re gonna have to take this contract from my dead, cold hands. I didn’t work this hard and put in this much work just to lose the championship now when I’m so close. Justin wants to say that I’m gonna die by the 24/7 contract which is the reason I’m champion in the first place ,but I don’t agree with that. I see it as me using the contract for my advantage, and then conquering the contract when it tried to take everything away from me. I know both men are going to be on top of their games, and I can guarantee I’m bringing that and then some. Nothing, not even the two of them are going to stop me from becoming the longest reigning Interwire Champion. This is my moment and I won’t accept anything less than a victory.

(Justin Windgate enters the scene.)

Justin Windgate: Admirable. That’s why I wanted the chance to face you because I didn’t know if you were going to still be carrying the championship past Road to Redemption. This never say die attitude is the kind of stuff I’m looking for as we go into our triple threat match because winning the championship is going to be even more satisfying knowing I beat you at your bery best, at the top of your game. You can’t ask for anything better than that. It’s been a rocky season for me, but I will stop at nothing to make sure my season ends on the best note possible, as a champion, and I will do that by dethroning you, Consuela.

(James Ranger enters with a towel on his head, from his victory just seconds ago.)

James Ranger: I seriously hope you guys didn’t look at my losses the past few weeks and think I’m the odd man out in this match. I understand I have suffered a few minor setbacks the past few weeks, but all those did was wake me up and made me realize I’m going to need all I have in order to pull of the impossible, which is becoming Interwire Champion. Like Consuela said, I don’t mind that Justinis in the match, that just means it’s one mor eobstacle placed in front of me that I am going to conquer. I’ve looked adversity in the eye several times and it doesn’t scare me, and this challenge doesn’t in the slightest. In fact, next weekend can’t come soon enough. I’ve never been more ready to conquer a challenge in my life. There’s only one person walking out of that stadiums the Interwire Champion, and that’s ME!

Justin Windgate: I like the confidence from everybody. I know for sure I made the right choice, and it will be confirmed as I stand the NEW Interwire Champion.

Consuela Rose Ava: Well gentlemen, it’s safe to say that no matter who walks away the victor next weekend, we know that they earned it. Which by the way, will be me.

James Ranger: I guess we’ll see about that, won’t we?

(James backs away slowly as Justin speaks to both of them and all three begin backing away.)

Justin Windgate: Good luck then.

Consuela Rose Ava: You both are going to need it.

James Ranger: Once again, I guess we’ll find out soon, won’t we?

(The scene goes black for a second, before cutting to a flashback match.)

(SCREENBAR – CLASH OF KINGDOMS – FEBRUARY 15, 2020)

Gavin Kirkland: HERE WE GO! Jake, this is the two of the best talents that Showdown has to offer! One of the best tag teams in the company! Heavenly Hell, Constance Blevins, and Minerva! These two women consider each other to be sisters, to have an unbreakable bond and they claim that whoever decides to win this match, nothing is going to tear them apart.

Jake Mercer: Yeah, like anyone believes that at all, Gavin! I don’t believe that this was the ideal Iconic Cup finals that EAW had in mind, but these two managed to dominate their respective sides of the bracket. These two women took down every woman placed in their way. In a way, it seems like this was inevitable. However, I don’t sense that these two women are going to back down from a fight.

Gavin Kirkland: Was it really a shock that Heavenly Hell would be standing in the finals, Jake? These two are the hungriest women in this company. These two women have spent their reason on Showdown as cannon fodders. They busted their ass to get out of that position and to prove that they deserve a lot more respect for the brand. They weren’t always the go-to girls in this company. They weren’t the beautiful blondes like Andrea Valentine and Kassidy Heart. They weren’t the so-called “divas” like the Ava sisters. These two spent their time in this company with being overlooked by the flavors of the month, like Serena Bennett and Felix Hartley, yet, it just made them hungrier for opportunities like this. For the weeks, people placed their “what ifs” with these two women? What if these two met in the finals? What happens if one wins at the expense of the other? Could these two manage to put their egos and selfish intentions to the side and not let this Iconic Cup tear them apart?

(Constance Blevins and Minerva looked around the sold-out crowd in the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The crowd is applauding these two women. The crowd is divided on who to root for. One half of the crowd is going, “LET’S GO CONSTANCE,” while the other half goes, “MIN-ER-VA.” The emotions of Heavenly Hell are at an all-time high. Both wanting nothing more than to walk out of Doha with the Iconic Cup. They busted their asses off to get to the finals. They proved that they didn’t need to look or talk a certain way to gain any recognition. They got recognition due to their hard work. Always being placed in a headline spot, these two were used as cannon fodders; however, it’s a different story tonight. They’re placed in the headline spot because this match was going to change one of their lives and put a test to their friendship.)

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins extends her hand out to Minerva, who looks at what Constance is doing. Do you think that this is a smart strategy from Constance? What do you think is her motivation for doing this?

Gavin Kirkland: They’re partners with mutual respect for one another, Jake. :skip:

Jake Mercer: Minerva extends Constance Blevins’ handshake before the two women get this match going!

Gavin Kirkland: The two women circle around each other, looking for that opening to get this match underway! Constance Blevins issues a test of strength to Minerva. Minerva seems a little hesitant, but accepts the challenge! The two members of Heavenly Hell are trying to push the other to the ropes, but it seems like Constance is a bit stronger than Minerva and manages to back her to the ropes, holding her there.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! RELEASE THE HOLD, CONSTANCE!

Jake Mercer: Without much hesitation, Constance Blevins releases the hold! She has her arms up, where the official can see them as Minerva manages to adjust to the situation around her! The two women lock up again, but this time, Minerva manages to get Constance by her wrist and connect with a wrist lock! ‘The Gypsy Moth’ manages to get behind Constance, but Constance connects with a back kick to Minerva’s stomach, which makes her clutch her stomach in response! Constance rebounds off the horizontal ropes, looking for a clothesline, but Minerva manages to get Constance by her arm and connect with a hip toss! Constance finds herself in a seated position! Minerva follows that up with a shining wizard, but Constance manages to duck! Constance with a roll-up! She’s looking to end this match early!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva manages to get out of the roll-up, but she had a good hold of Constance Blevins’ arm as she counters with an armbar! An armbar by Minerva, but Constance manages to get her foot on the bottom rope! Minerva releases the armbar as the two members of Heavenly Hell get up to their feet! Minerva with a smirk to her face as she gestures for Constance to get back to her feet! Constance clutches onto the ropes to help get herself up to her feet! Constance charges towards Minerva with a spear, but Minerva manages to leapfrog over Constance, but Constance manages to catch herself! She rebounds herself off the ropes as Minerva gets in a plank position as Constance jumps over her and rebounds off the other set of ropes. Constance goes after Minerva manages to stop ‘The Absolved’ with a dropkick! Constance falls to her back as Minerva gets on top of her partner before delivering some stiff punches. Minerva pins Constance’s shoulders down!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins manages to get a shoulder up! Minerva gets to her feet, getting her one partner by her arm before whipping her towards the ropes! Minerva charges at Constance, but Constance gets her foot up, hoping to kick Minerva away, bUT MINERVA MANAGES TO GET CONSTANCE BY HER FOOT! MINERVA IS SHAKING HER HEAD BEFORE SHE PULLS CONSTANCE AWAY FROM THE ROPES! CONSTANCE LANDS HEAD FIRST TO THE MAT! DAMN, MINERVA, WAS THAT A LITTLE HARSH?

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva gets Constance Blevins by her hair and connects with a basement hair-pull lifted mat slam! Constance goes down again! Constance is clutching to her head! Minerva with a knee drop to the skull of her tag team partner! Minerva gets Constance back to a vertical base as she throws Constance to the corner! Constance is able to turn herself around as Minerva bolts for her tag team partner in order to connect with a meteora to the corner! Minerva gets on the top turnbuckle and begins to punch Constance on to the top of her head!

Jake Mercer: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE SIX! Constance Blevins manages to use some of her strength to get Minerva in a powerbomb position! But, Minerva is still punching Constance! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! Powerbomb by Constance as she manages to roll up Minerva in the process!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Gavin Kirkland: No! The sexy, but seductive Minerva manages to roll herself out of roll up as she makes Constance Blevins eat a dropkick to the face! Minerva picks up Constance and gets her in position. It seems like Minerva is going for a fisherman’s suplex! Minerva holds Constance up for just a moment, before connecting with the fisherman’s suplex; however, it’s with one of the most gorgeous bridges I have ever seen as she goes for the cover on Constance!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOONE!!

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins manages to bridge herself out before turning herself around! Constance kicks Minerva in the stomach before pulling her closer before connecting with a jumping STO on her fellow Heavenly Hell partner! That doesn’t keep Minerva down as she finds her way to a seated position! Constance Blevins with a calf kick to Minerva’s face as that keeps her down! Constance is going to need to keep this up! So far, it’s been pretty back and forth between these two women! These two know each other so well! In these scenarios, it may be seen as a con. These two have a bond that can never be broken or that’s what they say, but we all know what happens when two people, who are quite close have a common goal. It tears them apart, Gavin!

Gavin Kirkland: It can also make the bond stronger, Jake. :wow: I believe that these two will survive and become stronger because of this match. This is probably their first test in determining how strong the bond of Heavenly Hell is! Constance gets Minerva up her arm before whipping her towards the horizontal ropes! Minerva rebounds off of them as she manages to connect with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown!

Jake Mercer: But look at that, Gavin! Constance Blevins manages to counter Minerva’s tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown with a sidewalk slam! THIS TAKES HER FELLOW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION DOWN AS CONSTANCE IS UNLOADING MINERVA WITH SOME PUNCHES TO HER FOREHEAD! CONSTANCE IS LOOKING TO KEEP HER TAG TEAM PARTNER-DOWN FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! YOU CAN’T LET SOMEONE AS SLIMY AS MINERVA GET THE UPPER HAND. HOWEVER, MINERVA CAN’T ALSO LET CONSTANCE GET THE UPPER HAND! Constance hooks the leg, looking to put Minerva away, but Minerva manages to kick out and get herself out of the situation! Both members of Heavenly Hell are up to their feet as they look at each other. Both women want this! Both women want to walk out of Doha, Qatar with that Iconic Cup!

Minerva goes after her tag partner, but Constance manages to take Minerva down with an arm drag! Minerva gets up and finds herself back into the corner, but Constance bolts towards Minerva before connecting with a huge knee strike across the chin! Constance follows that with a bulldog as she takes down Minerva!

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva is going to need to look for an opening, but Constance Blevins manages to get Minerva up by her head before exiting the ring! AT THE SAME TIME, THE UPPER HALF OF MINERVA IS OUT WITH CONSTANCE! CONSTANCE WITH A SERIES OF NASTY-LOOKING KNEE STRIKES TO ‘THE GYPSY MOTH’S’ FACE! MINERVA IS EATING EAT KNEE STRIKE! CONSTANCE IS RUTHLESS! CONSTANCE CONNECTS WITH ONE LAST KNEE STRIKE! IT SEEMED LIKE THAT KNEE STRIKE WAS MORE BRUTAL THAN THE OTHER ONES! MINERVA COLLAPSES BACK AS CONSTANCE DELIVERS A BATTLE CRY BEFORE GETTING INSIDE THE RING!

Constance waits for Minerva to get back to her feet before getting her up and taking her to the corner! Constance begins to connect with some shoulder thrusts to the ribs of one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions! Minerva is taken down to a seated position as Constance begins to stomp on Minerva’s face! Constance gets her boot and places pressure on the side of Minerva’s face as she holds it there!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, CONSTANCE!

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins had done a fantastic job with keeping Minerva down! This woman is hungry to win this match and propel her career to the next level! Constance gets Minerva back to her feet before connecting with some punches to the face of her tag team partner! Seeing that Minerva stopped moving, Constance takes a few steps back before running towards Minerva the corner before connecting with a clothesline to the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: NO ONE IS HOME! IT SEEMS LIKE MINERVA WAS PLAYING POSSUM FOR THE TIME BEING AS SHE SITS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! CONSTANCE BLEVINS GOES AFTER HER, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO KICK CONSTANCE AWAY! MINERVA FROM THE TOP ROPE! CROSSBODY ON CONSTANCE!

Jake Mercer: NO! CONSTANCE BLEVINS MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET! SHE HAS A GOOD HOLD OF MINERVA AND CONNECTS WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! Minerva thought that she had an opening, but Constance was more than ready for it! Minerva slowly rises back to her feet and gets herself at the corner! Constance Blevins runs to the corner, but Minerva manages to connect with a back elbow to the face of Constance!

Minerva springboards from the ropes in order to connect with a springboard roundhouse kick that takes Constance down to her knees! This can be the opening that Minerva has been searching for! Minerva with a basement dropkick to the back of Constance Blevins’ head! Minerva gets Constance up by her hair before kneeing her in the stomach! Minerva clutches onto Constance’s hair before throwing her head first against the turnbuckle! Minerva begins to stomp on Constance’s stomach, before getting her leg and connecting with a corner foot choke!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva manages to transition the corner foot choke into a headscissors takedown! Constance Blevins is quick to get back to a vertical base, BUT MINERVA RUNS TOWARDS HER PARTNER WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS! MINERVA BEGINS UNLOADING WITH SOME FIERY PUNCHES! CONSTANCE IS TRYING TO BLOCK THESE SHOTS, BUT MINERVA MAKES SURE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AT ALL! WHILE STRADDLING ON TOP OF HER, MINERVA MANAGES TO PIN CONSTANCE’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!

Referee: ONE! TWO!

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE BLEVINS MANAGES TO FLIP MINERVA OVER AND CONNECTS WITH HER OWN ROLL UP! CONSTANCE LOOKING TO PUT AWAY MINERVA HERE!

Referee: ONE! TWO!

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva manages to roll herself out of the roll-up as both members of Heavenly Hell are back to their feet! Minerva runs towards Constance with a running clothesline, but Constance manages to duck the clothesline before running towards the rope, rebounding off of it! Minerva manages to catch her tag team partner with a superkick as that staggers Constance back, but Minerva gets Constance by her arm, pulling her closer and getting her in position before connecting with a sambo suplex! Minerva applies a headlock on her tag team partner as Constance finds herself in a bit of a pickle at the moment! Minerva manages to maintain the headlock as she gets on one knee! She begins to apply more pressure onto the headlock! Constance is trying to push Minerva to the side in hopes that she releases the hold, but Minerva has her feet planted to the ground!

Jake Mercer: Look at this, Gavin! Constance Blevins is trying to pick up Minerva off her feet, but seems to be having a bit of trouble with that! However, Minerva is being a little stubborn and refuses to have Constance pick her up! Minerva is trying to keep the headlock on for a bit longer while Constance looks to pick up Minerva and look for a counter of her own!

Gavin Kirkland: Constance Blevins manages to get Minerva off her feet and connects with an atomic drop! I’m not sure if Minerva is supposed to feel anything with that, but it did allow Constance to get out of the headlock! Minerva runs towards her tag team partner, but Constance manages to connect with an arm drag to Minerva! CONSTANCE HAS MINERVA STILL LAYING ON HER SIDE AS SHE BEGINS TO PULL BACK ON HER ARM! MINERVA BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN! SHE FINDS HERSELF IN TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT! MINERVA IS NOT LOOKING TO SUBMIT HERE! SHE IS NOT LOOKING FOR HER SHOT AT THE ICONIC CUP TO GO DOWN IN FLAMES! CONSTANCE BENDS MINERVA’S ARM BACK EVEN MORE! THIS APPLIES EVEN MORE PRESSURE TO THE HOLD AS MINERVA’S FEET ARE SWARMING AROUND! At this moment, it seems like using the ropes for her feet may be the best solution at the moment! The longer Constance keeps this hold, the more likely Minerva’s arm is going to be in bad shape!

Jake Mercer: Minerva is reaching for the bottom rope with her foot! She’s just a toe away from that as she manages to get her foot on the bottom rope! Constance Blevins needs to release the hold! The referee is pointing out Minerva’s foot on the bottom rope as Constance releases the hold! Constance backs away from her partner, allowing Minerva to make it back to her feet! Minerva’s clutching her right arm and Constance looks at her partner with a smirk on her face!

Constance Blevins (off-mic): I don’t want you holding back, Minnie. Unleash your dark side —

Gavin Kirkland: — MINERVA DARTS AT CONSTANCE BLEVINS WITH A HEEL KICK! THIS TAKES CONSTANCE DOWN AS MINERVA GETS ON TOP OF HER AND PROCEEDS TO HIT HER WITH SOME OF THE MOST BRUTAL PUNCHES THAT HAVE BEEN THROWN IN THIS ENTIRE MATCH! MINERVA GETS CONSTANCE UP HARSHLY BY HER HAIR BEFORE SLAMMING HER HEAD-FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! HOWEVER, MINERVA DOESN’T SEEM TO LET GO! MINERVA SLAMS CONSTANCE’S SKULL AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

Constance falls back to a seated position as Minerva takes the turnbuckle padding off! It reveals the steel as Minerva gets Constance back to her feet! Minerva whips Constance to the corner! The steel collides with Constance’s back as Minerva charges at her tag team partner with a dropkick! Constance collides with the steel turnbuckle; however, Minerva doesn’t seem to be done here as she gets Constance by her hair and rubs her forehead against the steel turnbuckle! :lupe:

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins turns around and dear Gawd, Constance is bleeding from her forehead as Minerva begins to sinisterly grin! Minerva gets closer to Constance’s forehead! OH MY GOD, SHE’S GETTING HER NAILS AND GOUGING OUT CONSTANCE’S CUT IN HER FOREHEAD! I THINK THAT CONSTANCE MAY BE REGRETTING ASKING MINERVA TO UNLEASH HER DARK SIDE! CONSTANCE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS THE PRESSURE OF MINERVA GOUGING HER CUT TAKES HER DOWN TO ONE KNEE! Minerva headbutts Constance to the ground as she gets Constance by her hair and throws her through the middle rope and to ringside! For these matches, the referee is being a bit more flexible since EAW is determined to get a winner for this match. I’m not sure what these two women are going to do, but we’re going to get a winner for this match tonight.

Gavin Kirkland: Minerva goes over to the corner and gets her Gypsy chain! This was a weapon that she used at last year’s Iconic Cup finals and she’s going to use it this year! Minerva swings the Gypsy chain as she lets her partner make it back to her feet!

Jake Mercer: MINERVA WHIPS THE GYPSY CHAIN TO THE STOMACH OF CONSTANCE BLEVINS! Constance collapses to her knees again as Minerva gets the Gypsy chain again before whacking Constance in the back with it! This takes ‘The Absolved’ down completely as Minerva wraps the Gypsy chain! OH MY GOD, SHE’S CHOKING CONSTANCE WITH THE GYPSY CHAIN!!! :damn: :damn: :damn: THIS BITCH IS LOOKING TO KILL HER TAG TEAM PARTNER!!! IS THIS THE SHIT THAT YOU HAVE ON SHOWDOWN, GAVIN?

Gavin Kirkland: Indeed, Jake. Showdown is home to the best pure wrestling in EAW. It also has its shares of domestic violence and tag team partners beating the shit out of each other and me pissing my pants whenever Mr. DEDEDE is near. It could use a bit more blondes, but I love my job. :wow:

Jake Mercer: …Okay, but Minerva looks like she’s willing to commit murder in order to win this match. :lupe:

Gavin Kirkland: They’ll be fine, Jake. If Jamie O’Hara and Cameron Ella Ava are able to survive in this cutthroat business, Heavenly Hell will be fine. Now, where is my lotion?

Jake Mercer: THIS ISN’T THE TIME OR PLACE FOR WHATEVER YOU’RE PLANNING TO DO.

Gavin Kirkland: My hands are dry, Jake. Plus, I would never consider that. The Qatari prince is behind me and I’m not getting arrested for indecent exposure again.

Jake Mercer:…Again? Look, I’m not even going to ask. We have a damn match to begin and it looks like Constance Blevins is going purple! However, Minerva releases the hold as she wraps the Gypsy chain around her hands before punching Constance’s forehead again! Constance was already cut there and it seems like Minerva is going to make the cut even worse! Minerva unwraps the Gypsy chain from her hand before getting Constance Blevins, pulls her hands back and wraps them around the ring post! Minerva then uses the chain in order to tie Minerva up!

Gavin Kirkland: What kind of sexual kink is Heavenly Hell up too? And why do I seem turned on at the same time? Minerva looks underneath the ring and pulls out a kendo stick! Minerva spins the kendo stick around as a smirk form on her face! Minerva gets a good hold of the kendo stick before she swings it to the stomach of Constance Blevins!

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE BLEVINS YELPS IN PAIN! MINERVA SWINGS THE KENDO STICK AGAIN AT CONSTANCE’S STOMACH! AGAIN, CONSTANCE YELPS AT PAIN! MINERVA GETS THE KENDO STICK AND DRIVES ONE OF THE ENDS TO THE WOUND ON CONSTANCE’S FOREHEAD! MINERVA IS GOING TO STAB CONSTANCE TO DEATH. :damn: :damn: :damn:

Gavin Kirkland: Constance Blevins is screaming in pain as Minerva, in her sick way, is torturing her tag team partner! Minerva licks her lips as she backs away as the official is needing to break free Constance from the Gypsy chain! Constance looks like a mess! Perhaps, it’s time for her to just throw in the towel. That was absolutely disturbing to watch! The official manages to break Constance free from the chain! Minerva runs to her tag team partner! Boot kick to Constance as she collides with the steel ring post!

Jake Mercer: NO! Constance Blevins manages to get Minerva by her boot! Minerva is telling Constance to put her foot down, BUT CONSTANCE SMIRKS AT HER PARTNER BEFORE DELIVERING A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP AS MINERVA’S BODY CRASHES TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE APRON! This was something that Constance needed! Constance uses the barricade to get back to her feet as Minerva is shaking her head, trying to process the situation around her! Minerva manages to shoulder tackle Constance to the barricade as she proceeds to punch the hell out of her tag team partner! However, it seems like Constance is not going to take any of the punishment as she is delivering some of her own punches! Constance manages to push Minerva away from her for a slight second! Minerva runs over to Constance, BUT CONSTANCE MANAGES TO TRIP MINERVA, WHO EATS THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE! MINERVA COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR AS SHE CLUTCHES TO HER NOSE!

Gavin Kirkland: Now, it’s Minerva’s turn to shed a bit of blood and it’s from her nose! Constance Blevins reaches over to the Gypsy chain, which has become a go-to weapon for this match! I’ve never seen Constance resort to this kind of violence. It’s not her to this, so I’m kind of scared. :lupe:

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE BLEVINS IS BEATING MINERVA UP WITH HER OWN WEAPON!!! :damn: :damn: :damn: CONSTANCE IS NOT HOLDING BACK WHATSOEVER! EACH OF THOSE STRIKES WITH THE GYPSY CHAIN IS MORE DEADLY THAN THE LAST ONE! CONSTANCE IS NOT TAKING ANY SHIT AND I AM LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF IT, GAVIN! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE!

Gavin Kirkland: Twelve shots to Minerva with her Gypsy chain! Constance Blevins throws the chain to the side and begins to break apart the steel steps nearby! She places Minerva’s head in between the steel steps and the ring post! A concussion is the main reason why Minerva’s chances at the Iconic Cup were taken away from her and it seems like Constance is aware of that! She perfectly places Minerva’s head in between the steel steps and ring post, making sure that it’s very secure! Constance takes a few steps back before —

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE BLEVINS KICKS THE STEEL STEPS IN! THE SKULL OF MINERVA MUST BE PUMPING AT THE MOMENT AS CONSTANCE RUSHES OVER AND GETS MINERVA OUT OF THAT SITUATION! SHE HOLDS MINERVA BY HER HEAD, GETTING HER UP TO HER FEET AT THE SAME TIME! CONSTANCE LOOKS AT THE RING POST ACROSS FROM HER AND BACK AT MINERVA.

Constance Blevins (off-mic): I love you, but I need to do this.

Gavin Kirkland: MINERVA HEADBUTTS CONSTANCE BLEVINS!!!

Jake Mercer: The headbutt staggers ‘The Absolved’ a bit as she seemed a bit stunned that Minerva still has a lot of energy to go in this match! Constance Blevins swings a punch at Minerva, but Minerva manages to get Constance by her arm before connecting with a backbreaker and slamming her face-first against the edge of the apron! Minerva gets Constance before shoulder thrusting her towards the barricade, but Minerva gets Constance again and shoulder thrusts her to the apron!

MINERVA THEN GETS CONSTANCE AND THROWS HER BACK FIRST AGAINST THE RING POST! THIS TAKES ONE-HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS DOWN! MINERVA GETS CONSTANCE BY HER HEAD AND THROWS HER UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! Minerva slides herself back inside the ring! Minerva gets Constance’s almost lifeless body and gets her in position. It seems like Minerva is looking to wrap up this match! Minerva calls this move ‘The Princess Killer’ or TPK for short!

Gavin Kirkland: THE PRINCESS KILLER ON CONSTANCE BLEVINS!!! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS!!! MINERVA HOOKS CONSTANCE’S LEG!! THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE BLEVINS KICKS OUT!!!!!!

(The look on Minerva’s face tells the entire story. It’s a combination of shock and disbelief. After the hell that she and Constance Blevins put through each other, she thought The Princess Killer was going to be the one move to secure her the Iconic Cup. If this were a normal opponent, perhaps, it would have been enough to take them down, but this is her tag team partner for crying out loud. Someone who she considered a little sister and has gotten to know her for about a year. They’ve been through their ups and downs on Showdown; however, the one thing that remained the same was the bond that they shared. Recently, it’s been this same goal of winning the Iconic Cup and neither woman is looking to give up.)

Gavin Kirkland: The referee is clarifying with Minerva that it was Constance Blevins kicked out and Minerva slams her hands against the canvas before getting herself back to her feet! Minerva is going for another The Princess Killer! Could this be the end?

Jake Mercer: Look, Gavin! Constance Blevins is trying to get her feet to the ground! She knows that she cannot allow Minerva to connect with The Princess Killer again! She was able to kick out of the move once, but she won’t be lucky again! Minerva punches Constance in the face, before getting Constance quickly in position for The Princess Killer again!

Gavin Kirkland: No! Constance Blevins with a reversal! Oh my god, she is looking to put away Minerva with her own move! THE. PRINCESS. KILLER. ON THE GYPSY MOTH!!! CONSTANCE LOOKING TO GET THE VICTORY BY USING ONE OF MINERVA’S TRADEMARK MOVES!!! CONSTANCE WITH THE COVER!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

….

….

….

Jake Mercer: MINERVA KICKS OUT!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Constance Blevins covers her mouth in shock! These two beautiful and goth women have put each other through hell and back! This is all for the Iconic Cup, ladies, and gentlemen! This catapults women to the next level! This Cup almost ensures you that you will be Universal Women’s Champion!

Constance Blevins (off-mic): STAY DOWN, MINERVA! PLEASE!

Jake Mercer: Constance is pleading for her partner to stay down! It’s gone to that point of the match, ladies and gentlemen! I don’t understand how any of these women have energy left to keep this match going! Both members of Heavenly Hell get to their knees as CONSTANCE BLEVINS THROWS A PUNCH TO MINERVA! MINERVA THROWS A PUNCH TO CONSTANCE! CONSTANCE THROWS A PUNCH TO MINERVA! MINERVA WITH A PUNCH TO CONSTANCE! CONSTANCE! MINERVA! CONSTANCE! MINERVA! MINERVA! MINERVA! CONSTANCE WITH A HEADBUTT! MINERVA WITH A HEADBUTT! MINERVA IS STILL FINDING THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS MATCH AND CONSTANCE IS LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO TAKE HER OWN PARTNER DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: Both members of Heavenly Hell have their foreheads pressed together! Both women are bleeding! Constance is bleeding from her forehead! Minerva is bleeding from her nose! The two women look intensely at one another, but Minerva delivers a slap to Constance’s face! Constance slaps Minerva across the face! Minerva pulls Constance by her arm and connects with a short-arm clothesline! Minerva maintains hold of Constance’s arm as she connects with another short-arm clothesline! And another one! And another one! And another one! And another one! Minerva gets Constance in position for this next move!

Jake Mercer: She lifts Constance Blevins up! Oh my god, she’s going for LionessTouch — Constance’s own finisher! It seems like Minerva is going to return the favor of Constance using her own finisher against her! LionessTouch on Constance! The cradle DDT connects as Minerva goes for the cover!! She’s legit going to put away her partner with her own move!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE BLEVINS POWERS THROUGH!!! MINERVA IS STARTING TO LOOK A BIT IRRITATED AT THE MOMENT!

(To say that Constance Blevins REALLY wanted to win the Iconic Cup would be an understatement. As much as she would be happy for Minerva to win, she didn’t like the idea of her chipping away a bit longer for her big moment. In Constance’s mind, she wondered if she could ever be truly happy about the possibility of Minerva winning or if this was going to be one of the cracks formed for the end of Heavenly Hell.)

Jake Mercer: Minerva aggressively gets Constance Blevins up by her hair, but Constance manages to push Minerva away! Constance with a punch to Minerva! Constance punches Minerva back to the ropes before getting her by the arm and whipping her to the other set of the ropes, but Minerva manages to rebound from the ropes and delivering a spinout kneeling facebuster as that takes Constance Blevins down! Minerva moves Constance closer to one of the corners! Minerva is looking to wrap up this match now as she gets on the turnbuckle! Split-legged moonsault! Hell’s Bells on ‘The Absolved.’

Gavin Kirkland: NO! CONSTANCE BLEVINS CATCHES MINERVA AND SHIFTS HER BODY AROUND, GETTING IN INTO POSITION! CONSTANCE CATCHES MINERVA WITH CTO — CONSTANCE TAP OUT! THE GOGOPLATA ON ‘THE GYPSY MOTH.’ CONSTANCE BLEVINS PULLS OUT HER ONE LAST FINISHER, WHICH SHE KNOWS CAN TAKE OUT MINERVA! MINERVA IS SCRAMBLING AROUND, DESPERATE FOR A WAY OUT OF THIS MOVE! You can see the look on Constance that she’s in tears at the moment! There’s no doubt that this has been an emotional match for her. It’s been an emotional match for Minerva as well. These two have gone through heaven and hell in this match and it’s looking like it’s reaching its terminus.

Constance Blevins (off-mic): TAP OUT, MINERVA! DO NOT MAKE THIS DIFFICULT FOR YOURSELF!

Jake Mercer: MINERVA PINS CONSTANCE BLEVINS’ SHOULDERS DOWN!!!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! Constance Blevins manages to get her shoulders up! She saw what Minerva was planning to do!

Constance Blevins (off-mic): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Jake Mercer: MINERVA JUST GOUGED THE WOUND ON THE FOREHEAD OF CONSTANCE BLEVINS! LET’S REMIND YOU THAT MINERVA OPENED THAT WOUND IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH! CONSTANCE RETURNED THE FAVOR BY PROBABLY BREAKING MINERVA’S NOSE! CONSTANCE RELEASES THE HOLD AT THE SAME TIME AS MINERVA FOUND HERSELF A BIT OF TIME!

Minerva begins to elbow her partner multiple times! Each elbow is harsher than the last one, but Minerva is doing whatever she can to keep Constance down! Minerva is back to her feet as she’s stalking her team partner! Scissors kick by the ‘Gypsy Moth.’ Constance is taken down to her knees! Minerva takes a few steps back before running towards Constance and connecting with a running spinning neckbreaker! MINERVA GETS CONSTANCE BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE GETTING HER IN AN INVERTED FACELOCK POSITION AND CONNECTING WITH TWILIGHT. HEADLOCK FOLLOWED BY AN ELBOW DROP! MINERVA GETS CONSTANCE UP TO HER FEET! IT SEEMS LIKE MINERVA IS LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH! SHE PICKS UP CONSTANCE IN A STO POSITION!

Gavin Kirkland: I can’t recall the last time that Minerva did this spot. Has she even executed this move? She calls this The Black Wedding — a modified lifting reverse STO! It connects on Constance Blevins! It’s the last resort move for Minerva to go to and she’s aware that she is going to need to put Constance away from this move! THE BLACK WEDDING CONNECTS!! MINERVA HOOKS CONSTANCE’S LEG!!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(The crowd in the Khalifa International Stadium EXPLODES in a positive reaction as “Children of the Son” plays once again. Minerva slowly off of Constance Blevins. Minerva is covering her face, hiding her emotions that this week had in her. Most likely, she is in tears (which is something that she didn’t want to happen), but this was emotional and bloody for her. She couldn’t help it. Within her, she felt conflicted about remaining true to her sisterhood with Constance or going back to her roots and proving that she hasn’t gone soft. There’s no denying how much this victory means for her. Not many people had a second chance in the Iconic Cup Finals. It was an opportunity that she knew that she could not take for granted and she needed to win this match and prove that she can be a future Universal Women’s Champion.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE WINNER OF THE 2020 ICONIC CUP… “THE GYPSY MOTH”… MIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEERRRRRRRRRVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: MINERVA DID IT!!!! Minerva and Constance Blevins went through HELL for a chance to call themselves iconic and walk away as the proud holder of the Iconic Cup. Constance Blevins and Minerva would not stop with this match. These two women really wanted this Cup! These two went into the unknown with what would happen to Heavenly Hell after this match was said and done; however, they knew that only one of them would be able to leave Doha with the cup and that woman ends up being Minerva!

(The camera pans to Constance Blevins at the corner, heartbroken due to her loss. She buries her head in shame. As this match was emotional for Minerva, it was emotional for Constance herself. Constance put everything in the line. She asked for Minerva to embrace her dark side and bring it into this match, which could have been the reason for her downfall; however, Constance proved to be someone, who could match Minerva’s level of aggression and intensity, even breaking Minerva’s nose in the process.)

Jake Mercer: Constance Blevins should have exceeded everyone’s expectations tonight. She may have been known as the heaven to Minerva’s hell, but Constance made sure to give as much hell to Minerva going into this match. This was probably one of Constance’s best matches of her entire career. Yes, she may have come short of winning, but it lets you know that siding with Minerva, distancing herself from her faith in order to understand Minerva was the best thing to have happened to her.

(As Minerva’s music continued to play, Minerva gets to her knees as she looks at Constance Blevins at the corner. For the first time since the match ended, both members of Heavenly Hell looked at each other from across the ring. There’s no knowing what’s going on in each other’s minds. Is it resentment? Has Constance already begun to resent Minerva? Are the cracks of Heavenly Hell forming in front of everyone’s eyes? Those are just some of the questions in the EAW Universe’s mind. Minerva gets some of her remaining energy to get back to her feet as she walks over to Constance at the corner. Minerva reaches her hand to Constance as Minerva’s music stops, leaving the two women to talk amongst themselves.)

Gavin Kirkland: Is this really the end for my favorite goth duo? Jake, I’m going to cry. :sob:

Jake Mercer: Gavin, please don’t. Not in front of the Qatari prince.

(For a moment, Constance Blevins looked at Minerva’s extended hand. The crowd is encouraging Constance to accept Minerva’s hand. Minerva is hoping that Constance accepts the hand; however, Minerva is aware how much Constance can win the match. In a way, she didn’t blame Constance if this was truly the end of their sisterhood. Minerva had lost a lot of friends in this business. She hoped that this one with Constance was going to be different than the rest.)

Gavin Kirkland: CONSTANCE ACCEPTS MINERVA’S HANDSHAKE!

Jake Mercer: CONSTANCE PULLS MINERVA IN FOR A HUG!

(The crowd in the arena begins to applaud the two women in their excellent match. The two members of Heavenly Hell embrace each other, feeling as emotional as ever. Both of them are whispering words to each other; however, the microphone is not picking up any sound from them. Constance Blevins raises Minerva’s hand up as Minerva does the same thing with Constance. A respectful moment for these two women. A moment passes as Bella Braxton joins them in the ring with the Iconic Cup in her hands. Constance applauds for Minerva, who picks up the Iconic Cup. Minerva looks at her reflection at the Iconic Cup. This was her Cup. This was her chance to control her fate and become a champion on her terms. Minerva raises the Iconic Cup high in the air. “Children of the Son” plays again.)

(Constance Blevins exits the ring, leaving for Minerva to have her moment in the ring.)

Gavin Kirkland: It seems like everything is A-OK with Heavenly Hell. In a way, I think this match made their bond even stronger, Jake. What an amazing event, Jake! After Clash of Kingdoms, we have Shock Value, Under Siege and Reckless Wiring. After that, we begin our Road to Pain for Pride with the Grand Rampage! As for tonight, we leave things off with Minerva as the winner of the Iconic Cup!

(A children’s storybook for sexism starring Jake Smith.)

(The scene opens in the same location as the interviews in the past few weeks. Kyra Phillip’s sits with a smile on her face.)

Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time…Lucas Johnson and Albert Hitchman!

(Both of them nod back to Kyra. Lucas has that smug look of cockiness he’s had the past few weeks )

Kyra Phillips: I wanna talk about last week. Last week you said you were too good for the elimination match. So instead, you attacked a vulnerable SKA and vultured his spot. I just wanna know, why do it that way?

Albert Hitchman: Why do it that way Kyra? Have you seen my clients career? If you have you would have noticed how many countless times people have passed my client on the highway toward immortality. People around here love to be in groups and use the number games to their advantage but not my client. Lucas Johnson takes matters into his hands and if he wants something in life he takes it, SKA finally got the taste of medicine, my client has been tasting monthly ever since he stepped foot here at the land of the elite.

Kyra Phillips: Lucas, do you mind if I ask why Hitchman talks for you a majority of the time?

(Albert smacks his lips at the question.)

Lucas Johnson: Wow Kyra I am sad to see you aren’t the brightest human being around here because it seems pretty obvious to me. Albert Hitchman is not only my best friend but also one of the greatest wrestling managers in the game and he gets to take all the bullshit off my plate when I get to train and focus on my own destiny in that ring and I think I have done that this season starting off on the right foot with a great start to my win/loss record and I intend to show that improvement and success inside the Elimination Chamber.

Kyra Phillips: You’ve talked about wanting to get rid of these chamber demons for a while now. What exactly are those demons you’re dying to overcome?

Lucas Johnson: Sometimes in life you pay for sins for leading you to the dark holes you find yourself in trying to forward your career. I have faced many sins in my career coming face to face with Hades the Hellraiser and even Apocalypse but this season is all about writing my own wrongs. Losses can change people and when you can’t make that negative into a positive it sometimes eats you alive and that’s what has happened with Jon Kelton, the former 24/7 Contract Holder. Ever since Pain for Pride I have been jealous of Jon’s success and sometimes jealousy turns into hatred and you just got to find yourself in the right mindset so one powerful drug can turn your world upside down.

Kyra Phillips: How are you gonna prepare for the competitors in this match? It’s obvious you won’t be seen as the favorite, but how do you strategize to put that aside and show you’re a major player in this match?

Lucas Johnson: I won’t be the favorite? I guarantee you the Las Vegas Sportsbook will have myself as the biggest underdog on the Road to Redemption card, If I was a betting man I would bet on myself. The amount of times I found success in this promotion it has been when my back has been against the wall when no one would see the turning point coming from a mile away. I stepped into the Extreme Elimination Chamber once back in 2018 and I learned the hard way to not make yourself the number one target. My goal this time is use my cardio to my advantage, lay low and try to save most of my energy to survive the duration of the match. This year’s field has an All Star group with the likes of Andrea Valentine, Jack Ripley, Jamie O’Hara. I can go on and on about my competitors that are ahead inside the Chamber but the fact of the matter is, it’s going to be a tough time climbing up Mount Everest. My point on Showdown is to prove I am one of the best wrestlers the blue brand has to offer and If I am able to capture the Answers World Championship it would solidify my legacy here on Showdown as The King of the Ring.

Kyra Phillips: What would dethroning Jamie and winning this chamber to become Answers World Champion do for the legacy of Lucas Johnson?

Lucas Johnson: Now this is the type of question I am talking about Kyra! Someone needs to give this girl a raise, she finally comes through with the amazing questions! Don’t get me wrong I want nothing more than to go off the air of Road to Redemption with the new and improved blue Answers World Championship holding high above my head but that is honestly the cherry on the top of winning the Extreme Elimination Chamber. The legacy of Lucas Johnson would sky rocket into the oblivion if I would capture gold but this match is more important, it is to write my many wrongs that I have wrote this season including the likes of Jack Ripley due to our past fighting over the Pure Championship and even Jon Kelton my biggest rival of the season. But the biggest goal for me personally is to dethrone Jamie O’Hara. Myself and Jamie have had history when he was on the top of his game as The Ace and showed there is only one Ace on the Showdown brand. When was knocked back to down to reality facing defeat from Mr. O’Hara I knew one day I would be back getting another crack to dethrone the almighty Jamie O’Hara because even though Jamie has evolved over the years and his game I still see the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion standing across from me. When I was on Dynasty having my own success I have had in this company championship wise, Jamie was on the top of his game and it was memorable to see in the present. I would always dream about ending his record day as World Heavyweight Champion but sadly never got that opportunity. But this time I have an opportunity with the whole world in-front of me to make that dream a reality by bringing his Answers World Title reign to a screeching halt. So long story short, defeating the champion is bigger than winning the title itself. So defeating Jamie O’Hara and winning the Answers World Championship would vindication and validation that all those hard obstacles were hard to hurdle over these past few years but they are no doubt worth the time suffered when I would be the last one having the last laugh surviving the dominic structure and the evil reign of The Ace.

Kyra Phillips: Do you have any last message to get across to your chamber opponents?

(Albert Hitchman slides into the picture as he hands Lucas a wrapped up present as both men have big smiles on their faces. Lucas opens the present as he sees a baseball bat covered in barbed wire!)

Lucas Johnson: Wow, how beautiful does this baby look? It looks better in person then it does online that’s for sure. Once I step inside the Chamber It’s most likely going to be a Party Up in Here like DMX. Batter Up! Who wants to get sent to the hospital first with one big swing of the bat? Any takers?!

(The Showdown graphic cuts away from the interview, and then to Gina Romano standing inside the ring.)

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

World 1 Theatre Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!

( ‘All I Know’ by Da Real Gee Money plays as Bashar Jackson walks out from behind the curtain confidently strutting down the ring ramp and entering the ring as Gina Romano introduces him)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE POUNDS…. HE IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHAAAAARRRRRR ‘THE THUG’ JAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKSSSONNNNNNNNNNN
(‘All I Know’ stops as ‘Cha-Ching’ by UNIQUE starts playing as Maxwell obnoxiously makes his way down the ring as the crowd responds with boos )

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA… WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE POUNDS HE IS ‘ THE INELEGANT ONE’ MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXWWEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

( Maxwell enters the ring, and almost immediately he and Bashar circle one another )

( Ding! Ding! Ding! )

DeadPrez: Here we go ladies and gentlemen as we have a great bout between two hungry up and comers— and ironically enough we’re joined by another hungry up and comer here announcing for the first time in his career tonight!

Kid Ohio: I’m actually just happy to be here Deadprez, thank you all for having me!

Eve: Of course– Bashar and Maxwell engage one another with a test of strength! And it’s looking like Bashar’s time in the gym is paying off as he gains the upper hand and torques his wrists inevitably bringing Maxwell down to a knee!

Gavin Kirkland: This wasn’t exactly what I envisioned when I thought about being sandwiched with Eve but nonetheless– Bashar Jackson’s impressive strength has rendered Maxwell to a knee— and BASHAR IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS HE SENDS HIS OWN KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE TEMPLE OF MAXWELL!

Kid Ohio: That’s exactly what I’d expect out of Bashar— the guy is really good at finding any and every opening and taking full advantage of it. If Maxwell wants a chance at winning this he’s going to have to have to not give Bashar any openings!

Deadprez: That’s exactly what Bashar is good at as he sends another knee to the head of Maxwell who is more than likely concussed at this point! BASHAR JACKSON SHOWING SOME OF THAT AGGRESSION HE LEARNED GROWING UP ON THE MEAN STREETS OF BROOKLYN NEW YORK AS HE STANDS OVER THE DAZED MAXWELL AND DELIVERS BONE CHILLING STOMPS TO THE STERNUM OF THE INELEGANT ONE!

Eve: Maxwell’s chest has turned a bright red and you can see the outline of the bottom of Bashar Jackson’s boot on the chest of Maxwell who appears to be in an unbelievable amount of pain!

Gavin Kirkland: WHICH IS MUSIC TO THE EARS OF BASHAR JACKSON WHO QUICKLY BACKS AWAY AND MEASURES THE DOWNED MAXWELL BEFORE RUSHING IN AND HITTING HIM WITH THE– CHOPPED CHEESE— THE SWISS KICK CONNEC—

Kid Ohio: OH WOW. MONEY MAKER!!! MAXWELL USES BASHAR JACKSONS MOMENTUM AGAINST HIMSELF AND CONNECTS WITH THAT RIPCORD ELBOW SMASH ON THE MONEY!!! MAXWELL SCRAMBLES FOR THE COVER!!! I THINK THIS ONE IS OVER– WHAT A COUNTER!

ONEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THR—

Deadprez: NO! I WOULDN’T COUNT BASHAR JACKSON OUT YET! THIS KID IS TOUGH AND HE JUST PROVED IT THERE WITH THAT HUGE KICKOUT! MAXWELL KNOWS THE JOB ISN’T FINISHED AS HE ROLLS OVER AND STARTS UNLEASHING A BRUTAL ONSLAUGHT OF PUNCHES TO THE FACE, TEMPLE AND JAW OF BASHAR WHO IN RETURN SENDS A FEW OF HIS OWN BUT TO NO AVAIL AS MAXWELL POKES THE EYES OF BASHAR AND BEGINS BASHING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!!!!

Eve: THIS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE I’VE SEEN MAXWELL BE! THIS GUY MEANS BUSINESS AND HE WANTS THIS WIN HERE TONIGHT YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES! HE’S GOING TO A PLACE HE HASN’T BEEN BEFORE AND IT’S PAYING OFF BIG TIME RIGHT NOW AS MAXWELL HELPS BASHAR JACKSON BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH A SWIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!

Gavin Kirkland: MAXWELL IS OUT HERE SHOWING US THE FUNDAMENTALS! HE’S SHOWING US THAT HE’S MORE THAN JUST FLASH- THEIRS SOME SUBSTANCE TO HIM AND BASHAR IS LEARNING THAT FIRST HAND AS MAXWELL SETS HIM UP FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX— THIS TIME BASHAR SENDS A VICIOUS ELBOW TO THE JAW OF MAXWELL! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! MAXWELL RELEASES HIS GRIP AND MOMENTARILY TAKES HIS EYES OFF BASHAR JACKSON— AND HE TURNS AROUND INTO A —

Kid Ohio: BLICKY SHOT! BLICKY SHOT! WHAT A HUGE TURN AROUND FOR THIS MATCH! BASHAR NEARLY SPEARS MAXWELL IN HALF AND THIS MATCH IS AS GOOD AS OVER! BASHAR GOT ALL OF THAT BLICKY SHOT! AND NOW HE HOOKS THE LEG OF MAXWELL!

ONEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THR–

Deadprez: NO! MAXWELL WITH THE SHOULDER UP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! BASHAR JACKSON IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO A LOT MORE THAN THAT TO PUT MAXWELL AWAY HERE TONIGHT! AND I THINK THAT SENTIMENT IS SETTING IN AS BASHAR JACKSON IS ONCE AGAIN MEASURING MAXWELL— BASHAR BACKS AWAY——– CHOPPED CHEESE! THIS TIME IT CONNECTS!!! THIS TIME BASHAR JACKSON CONNECTS WITH THE SCISSORS KICK AND MAXWELL MAY BE OUT COLD!!!!!

Eve: BUT BASHAR ISN’T STOPPING THERE! HE ISN’T IN ANY HURRY TO GO FOR THE PIN AND THIS CAN EITHER BE A REALLY SMART OR A REALLY DUMB DECISION DEPENDING ON HOW THIS MATCH TURNS OUT IN THE LONG RUN BUT BASHAR IS IN NO HURRY TO PIN MAXWELL AS HE LAUGHS AND POINTS AT THE DOWNED AND NEARLY BROKEN BODY OF MAXWELL!!

Gavin Kirkland: Both of these men are so smug. So full of aggression and confidence. Tonight either one of them can win! Either one of them is able to obtain victory. But if Bashar doesn’t pounce on this opportunity he created for himself he’ll be dreading it by the end of the night!

Kid Ohio: This is Bashar’s way of sending a message- He knows I’m out here– he knows people are watching. He’s a showman.

Deadprez: WELL IT LOOKS LIKE BASHAR IS DONE SHOWING OFF AS HE PICKS MAXWELL UP OFF THE GROUND AND PLACES HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION! MAXWELL IS IN A DANGEROUS PLACE RIGHT NOW AND BASHAR LAUNCHES HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS— THE JACKSON SPECIAL CONNECTS– IT CONNECTS—

Eve: NO IT DOESN’T! MAXWELL SLIDES OFF THE SHOULDERS OF BASHAR JACKSON AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE AND TURNS BASHAR JACKSON AROUND—- MISSING FRAGMENT! MISSING FRAGMENT CONNECTS ON THE MONEY AND MAXWELL HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding! )

(‘Cha-Ching’ by UNIQUE plays as Maxwell celebrates in the ring while the crowd voices their frustration at the end result of the match via a thunderous amount of Boo’s )

Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE IS YOUR WINNER…… THE INELEGANT ONE……MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXWEEELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

Deadprez: Hard-fought match here for Maxwell— this thing was anyone’s to take up until the very last moment! I look forward to seeing both of these young elitists duking it out again!

Eve: I agree with everything you just said ‘Prez, both of these young talents left it out on the line here tonight but ultimately the better man won! Congratulations to Maxwell!

Kid Ohio: Congratulations indeed…

(The camera pans to Maxwell in the ring celebrating before fading to black.)

(SCREENBAR – REASONABLE DOUBT – NOVEMBER 7, 2020)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(The referee chains the wrist of both Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson. The two Elitists are separated by ten feet of the chain as they look at each other with intense and serious looks on their faces. This is it – the end of their rivalry which had been going on since the beginning of the season. Something that evolved from Ronan trying to get himself a Showdown contract became the worst thing for Ryan. Ryan wants nothing more than to put Ronan down. Not only for his sake but for his mother, who Ronan beat the hell out of. Ryan looks back at his mother, who has her wheelchair at ringside with the rest of the commentators. There is zero emotion on her face, but there’s no denying that she wants her son to beat the hell out of Ronan.)

(As for Ronan Malosi, it’s been a wild season for him so far. He went from being a free agent to one of the hottest talents on Showdown. As much as people want to deny Ronan as some sort of star, he has become a star. He has grown to be someone who has embraced everything that Ryan Wilson has thrown at him. He has two victories over Ryan and he’s looking for a third one. He has someone who has prepared for this match. Ronan believes that he doesn’t need any sort of weapons. He didn’t need weapons to defeat Ryan, but the possibilities are endless with all sorts of weapons. Just this match – Ronan needs to win this match and be free from Ryan Wilson and his bullshit.)

Deadprez: This is the end of a rivalry that has captivated the Showdown brand since the beginning of the season. Both of these men despise each other with a passion. Both have done some cruel things to each other, but it all comes to an end tonight at Reasonable Doubt.

Gavin Kirkland: Both men are completely silent, looking for the other to make the first move in the match. This is something that needs to be plotted out carefully.

Eve: RONAN MALOSI WITH A THROAT PUNCH TO RYAN WILSON! The General Manager is knocked back as Ronan tries to get the upper hand early on this match! But, Ryan Wilson is not going to allow for that to happen as he manages to throw a punch to Ronan, staggering him back for a bit!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi hoists up Ryan Wilson off his feet and battery rams him against the corner! Ronan with a series of shoulder thrusts to the ribs of Ryan! Ryan slides down to a seated position as Ronan begins to stomp on the face of Ryan before pressing his foot on Ryan Wilson’s face! He’s looking at Magdalena, Ryan’s mom as he’s stepping on Ryan’s face!

Gavin Kirkland: Magdalena is looking at Ronan Malosi dead in the eye as he begins to rub his foot on Ryan Wilson’s face!

(Ronan Malosi ducks his head through the middle rope to look at Magdalena.)

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) What I did to you will not compare to what I have in store for your son!

Eve: Ronan Malosi picks up Ryan Wilson by his chin before distancing himself a bit before connecting with a spinning clothesline that takes down Ryan! Ryan hasn’t been looking good so far into the match! Ronan picks up Ryan by the nape of his neck before applying a side headlock on the General Manager. Ryan Wilson is in a disadvantage when it comes to strength; however, he may outbest Ronan when it comes to his speed! He needs to keep the pace of the match at his ideal speed and making sure that Ronan doesn’t find a way of slowing him down.

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson is trying to shove Ronan Malosi towards the ropes and break free from the side headlock. Ronan takes a knee, while maintaining the side headlock as he is looking towards Magdelana once again, trying to get some reaction out of her — a shove from Ryan Wilson, but it seems like Ronan remains on his one knee! Ryan shoves Ronan another time as he manages to make the bigger man tumble towards his side! Ryan rushes to punch Ronan on the top of his head! Ryan is going to be out for blood in this match up! Anything to avenge his mother and prove that Ronan Malosi is nothing to him! Ryan gets Ronan up by his head before jabbing him with some knee strikes to the ribs! He follows that by a standing elbow drop to the back of Ronan’s neck, taking him down! Ryan goes for the cover as he’s looking to make quick work out of Ronan Malosi!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE —

Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi shoves Ryan Wilson off of him! Ryan is back on it with the punches to the skull of Ronan! He transitions those punches to some elbow shots to Ronan’s skull as Ryan manages to get to his feet! He’s demanding Ronan to get to his feet! ‘The Hot Takes King’ is slowly making it to his feet, BUT RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO STOP HIM WITH SUPERKICK AS THAT TAKES RONAN DOWN TO ONE KNEE! Ryan manages to pull Ronan towards him and it seems like he’s going to go for a snap suplex, but Ronan blocks Ryan from connecting with the move! Ryan tries to go for a suplex again, but Ronan continues to block the suplex from happening!

Eve: Instead, RONAN MALOSI MANAGES TO HOIST RYAN WILSON TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTS WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX OF HIS OWN, TAKING RYAN DOWN! Ryan is clutching his lower back in pain as he and Ronan manage to make it to their feet at the same time! Ryan rushes towards Ronan, looking to connect with a clothesline, but Ronan manages to get Ryan and connects with a scoop slam! Ronan is in perfect position for the cover!

OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE —

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson gets a shoulder up! Ronan Malosi gets Ryan up as he manages to get a good grasp of Ryan’s arm before whipping him to the corner! The steel collides with the back of Ryan Wilson! Ronan charges towards Ryan at the corner and connects with a Sleeping Pill — the big boot to Ryan Wilson!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson manages to duck out of the way as Ronan Malosi manages to stop himself from crashing to the corner and colliding with the steel corner! Ryan rushes towards Ronan before connecting with a leg lariat at the corner! Ronan’s ribs meet the steel of the corner as he is feeling the effects of that! Ryan manages to get a good hold of Ryan before connecting with a backstabber on the bigger man, but look at this, Ryan manages to maintain some grasp of Ronan before hoisting him up in the air and connecting with a German suplex! Ronan falls back as he tries to get himself to his feet! Ryan Wilson rushes towards Ronan before connecting with a slingshot —

Eve: NO! RONAN MALOSI MANAGES TO GET A HOLD OF RYAN WILSON — DEATH-RO!!!!!!

Deadprez: NO! RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO ESCAPE THE MOVE! He manages to get behind Ronan Malosi as he turns around! Ryan with a spinning backfist, but Ronan manages to duck the backfist! RONAN PICKS UP RYAN WILSON BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH COBRA CLUTCH SLAM! Man, just look at the height that Ronan Malosi was able to get! That drop was something else as Ronan tries to find himself back into this match! He grabs Ryan by the back of his neck before pulling him close and taking a few steps to the corner! Snap suplex by Ronan! Ryan’s lower back manages to collide with the steel turnbuckle! But, it seems like Ronan Malosi is not done yet! He manages to pull Ryan Wilson closer to him before putting him in a tree of woe position at the corner! I’m wondering what Ronan has in mind here?

Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi is rolling himself out of the ring! He manages to get his hand on one of the trash cans that were placed around ringside! He throws the trash can inside the ring as he manages to get one of the steel chairs before sliding back inside the ring! He places Ryan Wilson inside the trash can as he is still hanging upside down! Ronan raises the chair above his head as —

Eve: RONAN MALOSI HITS THE TRASH CAN WITH RYAN WILSON INSIDE OF IT! IT LEAVES A BIT OF THE DENT IN THE TRASH CAN, BUT RONAN IS NOT GOING TO STOP! HE RAISES THE STEEL CHAIR ABOVE HIS HEAD BEFORE HITTING THE TRASH CAN AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! Ronan is going chaotic with those steel chair shots! The trash can is totally dented at the moment! You can see the outline of Ryan Wilson’s head inside the trash can!

Deadprez: Ronan throws the steel chair to the side before getting Ryan Wilson out of the tree of woe position! Ryan still remains inside the dented trash can, but I don’t think that Ronan Malosi is intended to get Ryan out of it anytime soon! HE MANAGES TO HOIST THE TRASH CAN OVER HIS HEAD! IT’S A MILITARY PRESS POSITION! RYAN WILSON IS PROBABLY ABOUT SEVEN FEET IN THE AIR AS RONAN DROPS RYAN BEHIND HIM! The impact of that crash is quite disturbing as he seems to be more than enjoying beating the hell out of his rival! Ronan grabs the chair that he previously used to hit Ryan with and sets it up at the corner! What next does Ronan have in store?

Gavin Kirkland: The chair is in front of the steel turnbuckle plates as Ronan Malosi gets a good hold of Ryan Wilson before —

Eve: RYAN WILSON CRASHES HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL CHAIR AS HE COLLAPSES TO THE MAT! RYAN IS HOLDING HIS HEAD IN PAIN! I WOULDN’T BE SHOCKED IF HE HAS SOME SORT OF CONCUSSION AT THE MOMENT! THAT DID NOT LOOK PLEASANT AT ALL! The referee of the match is helping take the trash can off of Ryan as he goes to check on him! But, Ronan Malosi uses the chain to yank Ryan away from the referee! The ten feet of chain is what separates these two men! We’ve barely seen any of them utilize that chain, but it seems like Ronan is going to be the first one to do that! Ryan tries to get himself to an all fours position as he manages to look up at Ronan Malosi, with a smirk on his face!

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) You wanna refer to me as your dog, Ryan? Because right now, you’re looking like my bitch.

Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI SWINGS THE CHAIN ONTO THE BACK OF RYAN WILSON! :damn: :damn: :damn:

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson drops down due to response of the chain on his back! Ronan Malosi swings the chain onto his back again! And again! And again! And again! And again! He’s now getting that chain that separates him and Ryan Wilson before wrapping it around his neck! Ronan is going back up to one of the corners and standing on the top turnbuckle! Oh my god, he has Ryan up high with him! Ryan has his feet dangling as he feels Ronan choking him with the chain! :lupe: :lupe: :lupe:

Eve: Ronan Malosi looks like he doesn’t wanna let go! He is looking to squeeze any amount of life that may be left in the Showdown General Manager! Ryan Wilson is trying to unwrap the chain, but Ronan has a good grip of the chain! Will the referee be forced to stop this match if Ryan manages to pass out?

Deadprez: Wait, look at the apron!

(Alissa Brady, Showdown Consultant, is standing at the apron. She glares at Ronan Malosi, but is making sure that she keeps her distance. From him attacking her on Showdown last week, it’s safe to say that Ronan is not afraid to put her hands on her and hurt her. She seems hesitant about what she needs to do, but anything for Showdown and Ryan Wilson.)

Gavin Kirkland: It seems like Ronan Malosi is looking at Alissa Brady as she manages to get closer to him! She has something in her hands as —

Eve: ALISSA BRADY SPRAYS SOMETHING ONTO THE EYES OF RONAN MALOSI! THIS MAKES RONAN DROP RYAN WILSON!! WAS THAT PEPPER SPRAY?!?!? THE PEPPER SPRAY, BUT IN A PEN FORM!!!

(Alissa Brady jumps off the apron as she holds up the pepper spray for the camera to see. The consultant chuckles before placing the pen paper spray on her clipboard.)

Deadprez: For those that haven’t been keeping in touch with Showdown at all this season, let me remind you that the use of pepper spray was the beginning of this entire situation between Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson! Now, it just saved Ryan Wilson from passing out and losing the match!

(Ronan Malosi’s eyes are pink at the moment due to the pepper spray. He is trying to see what the hell is going on, but he’s completely blind at the moment.)

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson manages to get up the chain turnbuckles, meeting face-to-face with Ronan Malosi! RYAN THROWS A PUNCH TO RONAN, WHO IS STILL TRYING TO REGAIN HIS VISION! RONAN MANAGES TO THROW A PUNCH BACK TO RYAN WILSON! RYAN WITH A PUNCH TO RONAN! RONAN WITH A PUNCH TO RYAN! RYAN! RONAN! RYAN! RONAN! RYAN! RYAN! RYAN!

Eve: Ryan Wilson begins to punch the back of Ronan Malosi as he bends forward in response! Ryan continues to punch the back of Ronan before getting himself on Ronan’s shoulders before —

Deadprez: REVERSE FRAKENSTIENER BY RYAN WILSON AS RONAN MALOSI GOES FLYING ACROSS THE RING!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson needed a big spot like that in this match! He desperately needed to shift this match to his favor! Ronan Malosi has looked quite dominant! Ronan probably could have put Ryan Wilson down whenever he wanted too! It was just a matter of when for him! But, Ryan is racing for the cover as he looks to put Ronan Malosi away!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE

TTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Eve: RONAN MALOSI GETS A SHOULDER UP!!!!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson gets Ronan Malosi to his feet as he throws him towards the horizontal set of ropes! Ronan is draped in the middle of those ropes as Ryan proceeds to use the chain ropes to choke Ronan with! Ryan stops as he decides to get Ronan’s arms before intertwining them with the chained ropes! RONAN IS COMPLETELY TRAPPED AT THE MOMENT AS RYAN PROCEEDS TO CHOKE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF HIM! RYAN STANDS ON RONAN’S BACK AS HE PROCEEDS TO CHOKE ‘THE HOT TAKES KING.” THIS IS ALMOST LIKE GETTING BACK AT RONAN FOR HIM CHOKING RYAN WHILE STANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! RYAN IS LOOKING TO GIVE RONAN A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!

(Alissa Brady is applauding Ryan Wilson at ringside. Alissa stands behind Magdalena, who continues to stare at Ronan Malosi getting his ass beat in the match.)

Gavin Kirkland: Not going to lie, but Alissa Brady could get it.

Eve: :skip: This is why she’s next to Deadprez and not you. Gavin, just focus on the match. You’re not going to scare one of the new girls again.

Deadprez: The two of you — stop bickering. Ryan Wilson gets off of Ronan Malosi as he manages to jump over the set of ropes! Ryan manages to catch himself on the apron before connecting with a giant knee strike to Ronan Malosi’s face! Ryan connects with another knee strike! This time, it hits Ronan in the nose! Ryan with another knee strike to Ronan’s nose! This completely busts Ronan’s nose open! The blood begins to pour out of his nostrils! Ryan is gesturing for Alissa to bring him something! What in the world is that?

(Alissa Brady approaches Ryan Wilson, bringing him a six pack of Applebee’s exclusive beer bottles that were customely made for this match up.)

Gavin Kirkland: Beer bottles?? :lupe:

Eve: Ryan Wilson gets one of the beer bottles before slamming it to the skull of Ronan Malosi! Ronan has zero emotion on his face as he’s demanding for Ryan to swing the beer bottle at him even harder! I’m not sure that it’s the wisest thing for Ronan to be doing as Ryan manages to get his hand on another beer bottle before slamming it into the forehead of Ronan! It was enough to slice the skin of Ronan as Ryan is looking at him with a sinister look on his face! The more blood, the better for the General Manager. It’s the type of environments that he thrives in! We’ve seen the hardcore matches that he’s performed this past year! Ryan gets another beer bottle and throws it at Ronan —

Deadprez: NO! Ryan Wilson looks at the bottle and looks at Alissa Brady before handing her the beer bottle. Just a reminder: Ronan Malosi attacked her on last week’s Showdown! Alissa is looking at the beer bottle before looking at Ronan Malosi’s bloodied forehead BEFORE SLAMMING THE BEER BOTTLE DIRECTLY TO HIS SKULL!!!! That was enough to make him go back, but his arms are still intertwined with the chain ropes! ALISSA BRADY CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SLAP ACROSS RONAN’S CHEEK!

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) YOU WERE ALWAYS A LOSER, RONAN! slaps the shit out of Ronan again A LOSER!

Gavin Kirkland: She’s getting another hit in before Ryan Wilson resumes his control of this match! He begins to release Ronan Malosi’s arms from the chains as he collapses back. Ronan looks like a complete mess at the moment! Smell of glass, beer and blood! Ryan returns to the ring as he manages to wrap some of the chain that distances both him and Ronan and wraps it around his neck! Ryan begins to choke Ronan with the chain! Ryan is applying a chinlock to Ronan! Is he hoping to get a submission victory here?!?

Eve: Both men have been quite ruthless going into the match! You can really tell how personal things have gotten for them! Both want to walk out of this feud as the winner! Both are more than looking towards the next chapter of their careers! Ronan is gasping for air! He refuses to quit and give Ryan Wilson any bragging rights over him! He wants to be able to say that he bested Ryan in a match that seemed beneficial for him! Ronan is clutching his fist, trying to fight the temptation to submit! He needs to begin to look for some sort of way to escape this move! The chain ropes won’t make a difference here! No disqualifications or count outs. The only way to win is by pinfall or submission!

Deadprez: Ronan better be brainstorming on what the hell he wants to do or he’s going to be passing out! Ryan Wilson will accept that as a victory, but Ronan is trying to shift his body, so that he’s laying on his back! Ryan has a good holding of the chinlock, but Ronan is trying to tilt his body out of the move!

Gavin Kirkland: Wait, look at this —

Eve: It seems like Ronan Malosi is trying to get a good hold of Ryan Wilson’s ankle! Ronan has a piece of the chain as he is looking to use the chain to wrap Ryan’s ankle! He manages to wrap Ryan’s ankle, completely trapping him! Ryan shakes his head, he sees that he’s in a bit of trouble as Ronan uses that tiny distraction to throw Ryan to his side! Ryan tries to get to his feet before Ronan does, but Ronan yanks the chain as Ryan falls to the mat! Ryan is unable to get up!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi seems like he’s hatching up a plan! He manages to get his hand on the chain that is binding these two men together! Most specifically, it’s what is wrapped around Ryan’s ankle!

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN PICKS UP THE CHAIN, WHICH ELEVATES RYAN WILSON’S ANKLE AND SLAMS IT TO THE MAT! RYAN IS YELLING IN PAIN AS IT ENCOURAGES RONAN TO USE THE CHAIN TO ELEVATE RYAN’S ANKLE AND SLAMMING IT TO THE MAT FOR THE SECOND TIME! AND FOR THE THIRD! FOURTH! FIFTH! SIXTH! SEVENTH! EIGHT! NINTH! TENTH! Ronan gives out a battlecry as Ryan clutches his right ankle! I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a massive sprain at the moment! Ronan manages to get Ryan Wilson by the ankle as —

Eve: Ronan Malosi applies the ankle lock! This is Ronan’s go-to submission move! Now, he is looking to wrap up this match and end this beef with Ryan Wilson once and for all! Ryan is screaming in pain! He is clutching his fist, feeling conflicted on what he should be doing! His ankle went through a bit of suffering just moments ago! The more this match progresses, the more damage to his ankle will possibly have! Ryan Wilson has nowhere to go at the moment! Getting to the ropes won’t break the submission hold! His best shot is of trying to counter the ankle lock, but he’s got his ankle to worry about!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson is trying to twist his body around! He does not want to throw in the towel! Ryan is struggling to twist his body! Meanwhile, Ronan Malosi is trying to keep him in position for the ankle lock!

Gavin Kirkland: But, Ryan Wilson manages to twist himself to his back! Ryan is using his left foot to push Ronan Malosi away from him! Ronan manages to get a hold of Ryan’s other ankle before he lifts Ryan off his feet and swings him to the steel turnbuckle at the corner! Ronan’s strength is on fire tonight! Ryan Wilson looks completely out of it as he tries to pull himself to his feet, but you can tell that he’s favoring that right ankle of his!

Eve: SLEEPING PILL BY RONAN MALOSI!!!! The running big boot sends Ryan Wilson back to the corner once more! Ronan is looking back at Magdelana, who glares at him! Ronan hasn’t forgotten about the focus in this match and that’s to give Ryan Wilson a worse beating than he gave Magdelana! Ronan gets Ryan to his feet before throwing him over the top rope! Ryan tries to catch himself on the apron, but collapses as he falls on his ankle awkwardly! MEANWHILE, RONAN MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF UNDERNEATH THE RING BEFORE HOISTING RYAN UP IN THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A RINGPOST ALLEY OOP ON RYAN WILSON! RYAN GOES FLYING FACE FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST!

(Ronan Malosi has his arm up in confidence as he turns his attention toward Alissa Brady and Magdelana Wilson in a wheelchair.)

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) You’re looking at a winner ladies! I understand if you don’t know what a winner looks like since you look at Ryan Wilson all the time!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi is REALLY cocky tonight. Normally, he’s quite confident and cocky, but it seems like he’s more than confident that this match is going to be in his favor! At the rate that Ryan Wilson is going, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Ronan going over tonight! Ronan walks over to get Ryan Wilson by the back of his neck before slamming him face first against our table! Ryan drops down as Ronan begins to throw our papers and monitors to the side! Don’t you think that this is the good time to get the hell out of the way?

Gavin Kirkland: You think? Let’s get out of here!

(All of the commentators are getting out of their seats. They still have their headsets out, but they are staying as far away from the potential damage as they possibly can. Ronan Malosi gets Ryan Wilson on the table as he joins Ryan on the table. Alissa Brady manages to roll Magdelana out of the way from the action.)

Eve: It seems like Ronan Malosi is trying to get Ryan Wilson to his feet! I have no idea what move is going to come of all of this, but he hoists Ryan up on his shoulders as —

Deadprez: THE F-10!!!! THE F-10 ON RYAN WILSON AS IT COMPLETELY BREAKS OUR TABLE APART!!!!

(It’s clear that there is complete rubble between Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson. Even though Ronan didn’t take any bumps, the table breaking apart made him lose his footing. Ronan is trying to roll himself to his knees, trying to catch his breath. Alissa Brady races to check on Ryan as there is a look of concern on her face. Ronan is looking at Alissa checking on Ryan with a demented glare on his face as he slowly makes his way to his feet.)

Gavin Kirkland: Oh god, Ronan Malosi is looking at Alissa Brady the way that he doesn’t normally look at women. :lupe:

(Ronan Malosi is standing tall as Alissa Brady slowly takes her eyes off Ryan Wilson, before looking up at Ronan. It’s difficult for Alissa to completely look up at Ronan due to the neck brace, but she seems to have a fearful look on her face.)

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) You should have stayed in the back, Alissa. Hell, you should have stayed out of my life. It’s enough that you took my promotion at work. Now, you decide to align with Ryan, and try to make my life a living hell?

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) Ronan, calm down. Let’s not do things that we’re going to regret. :whoa:

Eve: RONAN MALOSI GETS ALISSA BRADY BY THE THROAT! HE LIFTS HER UP AS HE GOES FOR A CHOKESLAM!!!!

Deadprez: A KENDO STICK SHOT TO THE BACK OF RONAN MALOSI!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: It makes Ronan Malosi release the chokehold! Alissa Brady is scrambling away from Ronan! Ryan Wilson connects with another kendo stick shot to the back of Ronan! How in the hell did Ryan get his hand on the kendo stick?

(REPLAY: As Ronan Malosi is dealing with Alissa Brady, Alissa moves Ronan away from Ryan. Since the chain is separating the men by ten feet, Ronan doesn’t feel the chain getting shorter. It shows that Ryan Wilson is trying to crawl towards underneath the ring, where he gets the position of the kendo stick. Alissa senses that and is able to give Ryan an opening to sneak behind Ronan and hit him with the kendo stick.)

Eve: That’s an interesting piece of footage. :notbad: Alissa Brady has been quite useful for Ryan Wilson! Ryan continues to hit the kendo stick to the back of Ronan Malosi’s head! Holy shit, he manages to snap the kendo stick in half! HE MANAGES TO WRAP SOME OF THE CHAIN THAT SEPARATES BOTH OF THESE MEN AROUND THE NECK OF RONAN! HE IS CHOKING THE HELL OUT OF RONAN!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi manages to flip Ryan Wilson over him as Ryan drops to a seated position! Ronan gets Ryan to his feet before getting a good grasp of his arm before irish whipping him towards the ring post, but Ryan manages to counter as Ryan goes head first against the ring post! Ronan falls back as Ryan gets Ronan up using his bald head! Ryan manages to stand on the apron before getting Ronan in position and connecting with a tornado DDT of death! Both men fall down to ringside! But, it seems like Ryan is getting himself to his feet as he manages to get Ronan into a seated position! Superkick by the General Manager!

Gavin Kirkland: This knocks Ronan to his back! Ryan follows that up with a standing shooting star press as Ronan clutches to his stomach in pain! Ryan gets Ronan and rolls him back inside the ring! He’s gesturing for Alissa Brady to get him the rest of the Applebee’s beer bottles as Ryan rolls himself to the ring! Ryan gets the beer bottles and drops them to the mat! He gets Ronan Malosi to his feet before getting Ronan in position before —

Eve: MIC DROP ON THE BEER BOTTLES AS THEY RONAN MALOSI’S HEAD COMPLETELY SHATTERS THEM! RYAN WILSON HOLDS HIM THERE FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE MATCH!?!?!?!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE

TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO

TTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

….

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN MALOSI KICKS OUT!!!!!!!!

Eve: RYAN WILSON CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!! HE THOUGHT THE MIC DROP WAS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PUT HIS RIVAL AGAIN, BUT RONAN IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING!!!!!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson is connected with some mounted punches to the back of Ronan Malosi’s head! He really wants to put Ronan away! Ronan has managed to pin Ryan Wilson twice this season, but Ryan would love to end this rivalry with getting one of the biggest victories of his career!

(Ryan Wilson looks around, thinking about his next strategy before looking over the shattered beer bottles that Ronan Malosi crashed into when Ryan connected with the Mic Drop. He begins to pick up the pieces of the beer bottle.)

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN WILSON BEGINS TO PUT THE PIECES OF THE BEER BOTTLE INSIDE RONAN MALOSI’S MOUTH!!!!

Eve: RYAN WILSON TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE SUPERKICKING RONAN MALOSI WITH THE GLASS INSIDE HIS MOUTH! HOLY SHIT! HIS MOUTH IS COMPLETELY BLEEDING, BUT WHAT IN THE HELL?!?!?

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi is smiling! Ronan’s mouth is completely bleeding, but he’s enjoying every second of it! Ronan is slowly crawling to his knees, looking at Ryan Wilson. He’s almost looking down in defeat! What is this?

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Just do it, Ryan. I won the battles, but you won the war. Just put me out of my misery.

(Ryan Wilson seems conflicted at the moment. He doesn’t know whether to trust Ronan Malosi or not, but he looks down at Ronan, who has his head down in shame. He seems completely defeated at the moment. These two men have completely pushed each other to hell and back, but it seems like Ronan is already accepting defeat.)

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson gets Ronan Malosi to his feet before getting him in position for a Chaos Theory — a jumping cutter! Another one of Ryan’s finishers! RYAN IS JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM CAPITALIZING AND WINNING THIS ENTIRE FEUD! CHAOS THEORY CONNECTS!!!!

Eve: NO! WE SPOKE TOO SOON AS RONAN MALOSI MANAGES TO PUSH RYAN WILSON TO THE ROPES! RYAN GOES RUSHING TOWARDS RONAN BEFORE RONAN MANAGES TO GET RYAN INTO POSITION — DEATH-RO!!!! DEATH-RO ON RYAN WILSON!!!!!! RONAN MALOSI WITH THE COVER!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE

TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE

Deadprez: RYAN WILSON WITH THE KICK OUT!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi cannot believe it as well! He thought that he was able to surprise Ryan Wilson with Death-Ro! The fans are one the edge of their seats! The fans are wondering what any of these men are going to need to do in order to keep the other down!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Eve: Ronan Malosi is sluggishly getting himself to a vertical base as he’s Ryan Wilson to his feet! He’s going for his ultimate finisher Death-Ro V2 — the ataxia! Has Ronan ever hit this finisher? I can’t seem to remember because the anticipation of determining the winner of this match is killing me at the moment!

Deadprez: I don’t think that he has. :lupe: It seems like Ryan Wilson is going to be one of the first people to experience this move personally! Ronan Malosi gets Ryan in position — DEATH-RO. V.2.!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN MALOSI WITH THE COVER!!!!!

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!! TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Eve: ALISSA BRADY MANAGES TO PULL THE REFEREE’S OUT OF THE RING!!!!! SHE JUST SAVED RYAN WILSON FROM LOSING THIS MATCH!!!!!!! RONAN MALOSI IS PISSED AT THE MOMENT!!!! HE WOULD HAVE WON THE MATCH IF IT WASN’T FOR ALISSA BRADY!!

(Ronan Malosi is fucking pissed at the moment. He is glaring at Alissa Brady, but right behind Ronan. Magdalena Wilson is rising from the wheelchair, using some of her strength to give something to Ryan Wilson. Magdalena slides something from underneath the bottom rope as Ryan manages to get his hands on it.)

Gavin Kirkland: SHE CAN WALK?!?!?! WHAT DID MAGDALENA SLIDE TO RYAN!??!?!

(The camera pans as it reveals that Magdalena Wilson slid Ryan Wilson a key. It is the key for the chains that bind him and Ronan Malosi. Ryan begins to unlock his chains as Ronan is focused on Alissa Brady. Magdalena makes her way back to the wheelchair as Alissa joins her soon after. Ryan is beginning to make his way to his feet. The chain in his position. Ronan Malosi turns around …)

Eve: RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO HIT RONAN MALOSI WITH THE CHAIN TO THE SKULL!!!!!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi drops to the floor as Ryan continues to hit Ronan with the chain all over his body! Ronan is trying to duck himself as Ryan is being ruthless! Ryan is trying to punish Ronan for everything that he’s done since the beginning of the season! Ryan manages to wrap the chain around Ronan Malosi’s neck! HE IS CHOKING RONAN FOR DEAR LIFE! RONAN IS COMPLETELY TRAPPED AS RYAN MOVES HIM TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!!! WHAT IS RYAN DOING?!??!!?

Gavin Kirkland: It’s the FOURTH WALL BREAK, DEADPREZ! IT’S RYAN WILSON’S SUBMISSION MOVE!!! THE BOSTON CRAB!!!! RONAN STILL HAS THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK, BUT RYAN IS PULLING THE CHAIN UP AS RYAN IS COMPLETELY GASPING FOR AIR! HIS NECK IS BEING HELPED UP AS RONAN IS COMPLETELY TRAPPED!!! HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!!!

Eve: RONAN MALOSI IS SO CONFLICTED ON WHAT HE SHOULD BE DOING, BUT RYAN WILSON IS YELLING FOR RONAN TO TAP OUT!!! RONAN’S FACE IS BEGINNING TO GET BLUE!!! HE’S LOSING AIR EACH SECOND!!!

Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI TAPS OUT!!!! RONAN MALOSI TAPS OUT!!! HE COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! RYAN WILSON WINS!!! RYAN WILSON WINS!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘They Only Thing They Fear is You’ plays once again as Ryan Wilson releases the Fourth Wall Break. The referee is checking on Ronan Malosi, unwrapping the chain from his neck as he can finally gasp for air. Alissa Brady joins Ryan in the ring as the two of them share an embrace as Alissa raises Ryan’s hand up in the air.)

Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…RYAN WILSON!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: What a fucking war by these two! What a fucking match! What a fucking rivarly from these two! Holy shit, if this doesn’t win Feud of the Year at the EAW Awards show, people are out of their fucking minds! Ryan Wilson managed to do the unthinkable and defeat his rival Ronan Malosi!

Eve: If there was anyone who broke out and became a star in this feud, it’s probably Ronan Malosi, who people did not expect to break out as much as he did. He shined so much so far this season and he’s really proven that he’s able to hang with anyone in this company! He was the only one who had the balls to go into war with Ryan Wilson. He was the only one to have questioned Ryan and his authority! His performances at Midsummer Massacre and Territorial Invasion are things that people are continuing to talk about! There’s no doubt that he’ll continue to grow and become a bigger star than he is right now! :drakelike:

Deadprez: Let’s not sleep on Ryan Wilson, everyone! He really pushed himself to the next level and that’s what happens when you put him against someone, who wants victories as much as him! He met his match with Ronan Malosi! He met someone who was more than willing to go into war with him and give him one of his most memorable rivalries in his career! This was something that I’ll remember from 2020.

Gavin Kirkland: Both men delivered in this match. Chained Fury was a concept that I didn’t know how things were going to pan, but it was a legit fight between the two of them! I was on the edge of my seat! Any of these men could have won the match, but it was thanks to Ryan Wilson wrapping the chain around Ronan Malosi’s neck and applying the Fourth Wall break that gave him the victory!

(The camera transitions to Kyra Phillips smiling.)

(SCREENBAR – EARLIER TODAY.)

(The scene opens in the same location as the Lucas Johnson interview earlier tonight.)

Kyra Phillips: Last, but certainly not least, the Answers World Champion…Jamie O’Hara.

(Jamie nods with the Answers World Title on his shoulder.)

Jamie O’Hara: Kyra.

Kyra Phillips: Before we start, how was your Thanksgiving? From what we saw with the videos, it was quite eventful. 🙂

Jamie O’Hara: Yeah, you could say that. But who has a normal, uneventful Thanksgiving these days anyways? It was a truly wonderful afternoon, surrounded by…mostly…good people, can’t ask for much more to be honest.

Kyra Phillips: Alright, now that you have heard all of your opponents speak in their interviews, I just wanted to get your thoughts on what they all had to say?

Jamie O’Hara: Does it really matter what they say, Kyraa? Does it really matter that five other people decided to talk themselves up, speak so loudly, so boldly, so presumptuously about getting one over the Ace? I don’t care what they have to say because none of them, not Andrea, not Jack, not Kelton nor Bronson nor Lucas, said anything that I haven’t heard before and I’ll willing to bet on the outcome that has happened overwhelmingly more often than for a second believe them. Everyone thinks they’re a God of this business, everyone thinks they’re bound to achieve greatness beyond measure, the problem is most will never come remotely close to living up to it in any sense and that won’t be happening at my expense.

Kyra Phillips: Safe to say you’re no stranger to the Extreme Elimination Chamber, nor are you a stranger to walking into the chamber as champion, AND nor are you a stranger of retaining your title in the chamber. How are you preparing yourself to do it a third time?

Jamie O’Hara: Nothing different than any other year, to be honest. I’ve been a consistent performer in this match; not since 2014, since my very first Chamber match in my very first World Championship match, have I been either the winner…or the person beaten to win. I’ve not once worried about my approach because the proof is in the repeated success, the proof is being undefeated in this match when I walk in as Champion. So what do I have to do differently? I’m either going to walk out STILL the Answers World Champion or someone is going to have to kill me inside that structure and take it from me at the bitter end.

Kyra Phillips: Who do you see as the biggest threat to you inside the chamber?

Jamie O’Hara: As much as I would love to just laugh off the very idea of anyone posing a threat to me and my reign, there is one person in particular who jumps at me. No, it isn’t the person I beat just a few months ago in Jack Ripley. It isn’t Bronson Daniels whose ‘ace’ up the sleeve is being able to say he beat someone no longer in this company. It isn’t Lucas Johnson because why the fuck would it be? Nor is it an echo of the past in Jon Kelton. Andrea certainly possesses a threat. Just a year ago she won the Voltage chamber to become the EAW World Champion. And while I could say many things about the shitshow that was Empire, she won an Extreme Elimination Chamber match there too. I’m a man of substance, Kyra and that’s the kind of substance that makes me entertain someone’s threats as legitimate and simply dismiss them as I do just about everyone else.

Kyra Phillips: Switching away from that for a second. Cameron I heard is due any moment now.

Jamie O’Hara: Yeah, I most likely gotta fly out after we’re done here.

Kyra Phillips: How are you feeling inside knowing you’re about to become a father? Has it sunk in yet?

Jamie O’Hara: It hasn’t and I don’t think it will for some time. Being honest, it was never in the plan. For so long I was so content being just me, never really building that personal life like others, never becoming a father. Now I can’t believe that I spent all those years, all that time thinking that this wasn’t something I wanted; I’m glad it worked out the way it did though.

(Kyra gives a sweet smile at the response.)

Kyra Phillips: Do you think the whole situation with Cameron and the baby will affect your mindset inside the chamber? How do you plan to stay locked in on the task at hand?

Jamie O’Hara: It only gives me a more important reason to be simply the very best that I can be. It’s times like this, where my personal life and my professional life blend together that seems to get the absolute best out of me. Whether it was Cameron and I going toe to toe a year ago in this very match or pooling every negative emotion, every ounce of hate and frustration to take down Mr. DEDEDE at Pain For Pride, when I have a reason to fight, a reason to scratch and claw beyond my own selfish desires and intents, somehow I’m always better; somehow I always find just that new edge that keeps me ahead of the pack. Now that I’m going to be a father?

(Jamie pauses for a second and smiles , trying to find the words)

Jamie O’Hara: I’m simply on top of the world. I’m happy, I’m motivated, I’m determined, and that’s truly concerning to hear if you’re gunning for my crown.

Kyra Phillips: What would winning this chamber and continuing your dominant reign do for your legacy?

Jamie O’Hara: I mean it’s another impressive feat, isn’t it? Three times walking in and walking out the World Champion? 50% win rate in the Chamber? My legacy has been cemented for some time, ever since Pain For Pride but this year? I certainly do push my case forward as being one of the very best to master what is in every other way, an undesirable and unfavourable environment. As for this dominant reign? With one swoop I’ll defeat the five best contenders to my Championship and I’ll continue to march forwards towards replicating the same historic success I achieved only a few years ago.

Kyra Phillips: Any final message to your chamber opponents?

Jamie O’Hara: As I’ve already said, this is the sixth time I’m walking into this match; even collectively, all five of you lack the experience in this match that I have. I’m no stranger to this position, I’ve dominated this match against Hall of Famers, against former World Champions I’ve defeated some of the most promising acts. Do you know what my December is? Every year, it’s this. It’s spending Christmas still reeling from casting my body against that steel until that impact stopped feeling as if it was shattering my bones and instead felt at least somewhat comfortable. I know nothing each and every year but this match and each and every year I deliver my absolute magnum opus of a performance. No matter how good you think you are, you need to be better. No matter how good you think I am, I’m only better. This? This is my world, this is the match that I thrive in. When you all write down your favourite match type, you pick the ones that sound “ideal” to you, that helps give you a bit of edge to your persona. I? I left that blank and throughout my career I’ve filled that in through the one match that I have backed it up multiple times and then some. That’s the unfortunate reality before the five of you. I’m not a one hit wonder World Champion at the end of his reign, I’m the Ace who has proven he’s above every other World Champion you can conjure up, speak your pieces against and have lowly expectations of. None of you, absolutely none of you, can hold a candle to the master at work and I will drop that hammer down on your heads indiscriminately until I’m the last man standing. The Ace reigns in December, now and forever.

Kyra Phillips: This was a pleasure, thank you Jamie. Good luck inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber and good luck with the birth of your child.

Jamie O’Hara: Thank you Kyra, it was a pleasure for me too.

(Commercial for bald awareness featuring Jamie O’Hara showing off a tiny bald spot. #JamieNoHaira.)

(The scene opens inside the ring, with Deadprez standing beside a table set in the center of the ring with two microphones sat on it.)

Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, this match between these two ladies has gotten very personal over the past couple of weeks. And now they’re both here to sign the contract to make their match at Road to Redemption official.

(Deadprez sighs.)

Deadprez: Introducing first, please welcome…KASSIDY HEART!!!!

(‘Monster’ by Kanye West hits as Kassidy walks out to the ring. She walks with a purpose, slides in the ring, stares at Deadprez for a quick second and then sits down in one of the leather chairs.)

Kassidy Heart: Let’s get on with it. Bring her out here.

(“Monster” dies down as “Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi then hits.)

Deadprez: And introducing next…DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!

(Dr. Bethany Blue walks out from behind the curtain, walking very slowly to the ring, holding her ribs in pain. The ribs that were damaged inside the Hell in a Cell. Out walks behind is Nurse Goldstein, she has bandages all over her face from the incident with the mirror last week. Kassidy can’t help but smirk seeing both of them in pain.)

(Nurse Goldstein slides in the ring and then holds the bottom rope open for Bethany to step into, and Bethany steps in very slowly, and she’s hesitant to sit down across from Kass, who advises Bethany to take a seat, which she does. Goldstein stands right above her. “Bad Medicine” then dies down as both women stare through each other’s souls not taking their eyes off one another.)

Kassidy Heart: How’s the face, Goldstein?

Dr. Bethany Blue: Leave her out of this!

Deadprez: Ladies!

Dr. Bethany Blue: You know what you did last week was borderline criminal. I honestly can’t believe I am even here right now because I should be at home, resting myself, and getting ready for the new year to come back even stronger, but NO! Ms. Selfish Pants over here had to INVADE my home, take my assistant hostage, and threaten and call my honey names. Nobody should ever be forced into wrestling a match, and everybody here all knows it. I should want this match more than Kassidy because she stole something from me at Reasonable Doubt, but I was being the bigger person. Kassidy dragged me to this, and she did so many unnecessary things that ended up getting under my skin, and now, she’s gonna pay dearly for what she has done and all she has put me through!

Kassidy Heart: Ahhh, do you hear yourself woman? How in the world did I steal anything from you? Excuse me for saving the world of watching a snoozefest of a World Title match between Jamie O’Ava and a fake doctor. Let us not forget you did nothing to even earn that match in the first place. You carried a bunch of bums to victory by beating, well, a group of more bums. That doesn’t mean you should have been placed in that match and Ryan Wilson had no right to do that. Like I have stated before, I could have taken you out of that match if I wanted to with a snap of the finger, but I didn’t. I let you soak in the spotlight and share it with me, and you’re being super ungrateful about it. That match was mine, Jamie was my target, and you were just somebody in my way and I honestly think you’re a reason I’m not walking into that chamber as champion. So once I’m done taking out the trash next weekend, I’m moving on to my main objective, to whoever wins that Chamber match, and God as my witness, I WILL become Answers World Champion.

(Bethany gives a chuckle at that response.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: It’s a good thing you’re pretty, Kassidy, because you’re pretty much useless in any other department. Pure arrogance from you. How could you think like that and think it was a good idea to say? So you’re saying, interfere in people’s earned title matches just because you wouldn’t like the match? That makes no sense, blondie. You’re just flexing your power you have all just because you’re sucking the Chairman’s wee-wee. You’re nothing Kassidy! Absolutely nothing! I wasn’t avoiding you because I feared you in any way, I was avoiding you because of health concerns, which I was looking out for both of us might I add. I just want you to remember one thing though, Just know, that whatever happens in this match, you FORCED me to do! None of this had to happen, but you forced me to do this, and like I said last week, you’re gonna pay for what you have put me and the people I love the most through. How is it gonna feel to lose to this less than a hundred percent doctor after you drove so hard to have this match with me? You only have yourself to blame.

(Bethany aggressively signs the dotted line.)

Kassidy Heart: You only have yourself to blame for what I am going to do to your wacky ass at Road to Redemption. You had the nerve to blame me for your failures. Then….oooh, you brought up my beautiful newborn babies to try and get a rise out of me? You poke fun of my concussion history. And you bitching and complaining about me taking your spotlight that you deserved is just the cherry on top to be quite honest with you. Your dumbass mouth got you into this, and there ain’t no way I was letting you back out of the ass kicking you had coming your way. After next weekend, your fifteen minutes back in the spotlight you haven’t had since losing the Interwire Championship comes to an end as I am DONE with you. You can go back to competing against the Ronan Malosis of the world or degrading yourself in a fucking mud pool.

Dr. Bethany Blue: You sure do have a mouth on you don’t you? Well, the time for talk is over. I’m putting you down once and for all next weekend and showing that it’s never a good idea to mess with Dr. Bethany Blue! I am going to kick your BEHIND!

Kassidy Heart: How bout we raise the stakes a bit since we both know this is gonna go beyond a ‘wrestling match’?

(Dr. Bethany Blue gives Kassidy a glare.)

Kassidy Heart: Me and you…UNSANCTIONED MATCH! No suing the company, no lawyers, nothing but just ME and YOU!

(Kassidy then signs the contract and throws the pen to her side.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: That’s fine with me. I just hope you’re insurance is lined up and ready when you’re confined to a wheelchair the rest of your life and you can’t play with your ki–

(Kassidy tries to leap over the table, but Bethany saw it coming, and she pushes the table into Kassidy’s knee. Bethany now walks around like there is nothing wrong with her at all. Nurse Goldstein then hands Bethany her stethoscope. Bethany now walks over to Kassidy…)

(Kassidy kicks Bethany in the knee cap and it drops her! Kassidy is back up to both feet and she uses her knee as a battering ram. Kassidy reaches underneath the table and pulls out a kendo stick. And then Kassidy whacks Bethany across the back with it. And then again. Kassidy is enjoying hearing the scream from the Good Doctor.)

(Kassidy now begins to measure the Doctor waiting to get to her feet-but Nurse Gldstein clocks Kassidy from behind and knocks her forward, but Kassidy retaliates and begins throwing body shots and right hooks to the damaged face of Goldstein, and then Bethany comes out of nowhere and whacks Kassidy with that same kendo stick.)

(Dr. Bethany Blue repeatedly hits Kassidy across the back with it. Now Nurse Goldstein lifts Kassidy on her knees and holds both of her arms as Bethany gets in her face.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (no mic) This is YOUR fault!

(Bethany then lifts the kendo stick up and whacks Kassidy in the head with it as Nurse Goldstein lets go. Kassidy is holding her head in some pain as Bethany and Goldstein look proud of what they have just done. The scene then fades with Bethany looking down on Kassidy.)

( DING! DING! DING! )

Gavin Kirkland: HERE WE G-

Eve: SPEAR! SPEAR! JAMIE O’HARA JUST CUT MR. DEDEDE IN HALF WITH DEDEDE’S OWN FINISHER!

Deadprez: JAMIE RUSHES TO THE ROPES AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP! GENKI CANN-

Gavin Kirkland: NO! MR. DEDEDE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BUT JAMIE TURNS THE MOMENTUM INTO A SOMERSAULT AND HE’S BACK UP! HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE MR. DEDEDE CHARGING TOWARDS HIM BUT JAMIE DODGES A SPEAR!

Eve: DEDEDE CRASHES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST BUT JAMIE IS RIGHT THERE TO GRAB HIM INTO A ROLL UP! DEDEDE ROLLS THROUGH AND LEAPS IN THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO JAMIE!

Deadprez: DEDEDE THROWS HIMSELF ON TOP OF JAMIE AND UNLOADS WITH PUNCHES! JAMIE IS ABLE TO SWITCH TO THE DOMINANT POSITION AND NOW IT’S DEDEDE ON THE RECEIVING END OF THOSE VICIOUS RIGHT HANDS!

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE IS BACK ON TOP NOW! HE ATTEMPTS TO WRAP JAMIE IN A TRIANGLE STYLE CHOKE! JAMIE BLOCKS AND LATCHES ON TO MR. DEDEDE’S ARM AND ATTEMPTS TO TRANSITION INTO AN ARMBAR! DEDEDE LOCKS HIS HANDS AND THROWS HIS LONG LEGS BEHIND JAMIE, LANDING ON THE ROPES!

Eve: WOW!

Deadprez: The referee forces the break and Mr. DEDEDE slithers out of the ring! Holy shit what an opening exchange!

Gavin Kirkland: If looks could kill… man. Jamie is staring a hole in the Answers World Champion right now as Mr. DEDEDE walks around the ring. I’m impressed that Jamie is hanging back right now, allowing Mr. DEDEDE to control the situation. With how deeply personal this riva- scratch that. The word ‘personal’ doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what it is that lies between these two men.

Deadprez: You’re right about that, Gavin. This is beyond personal.

Eve: And Jamie seems determined to do this right. He takes a step back as Mr. DEDEDE slides into the ring, and as DEDEDE stands up, both men lock eyes. This crowd is silent, but no more words need to be spoken between Mr. DEDEDE and Jamie O’Hara. They both know what’s at stake, and it goes far beyond Mr. DEDEDE’s Answers World Championship and Jamie O’Hara’s career.

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE and Jamie circle one another and it’s Jamie who throws the first shot, landing a kick to DEDEDE’s injured left knee! The Chairman shrugs it off and fires off a boxing style jab, that Jamie is able to dodge. Jamie with another kick, once again making his intentions clear. He is going to target that knee this entire match, and that likely explains while he’s content with keeping the match slow. If this match ends up going the distance, that will only work in Jamie’s favor.

Deadprez: Mr. DEDEDE’s camp has been pretty silent when it comes to that injury other than revealing just how severe it actually is. From what we understand, Mr. DEDEDE has been training, regularly participating in modified versions of the obstacle courses Kassidy Heart trained on, as well as working on his mat based wrestling thanks to jiu-jitsu training, as well as boxing.

Eve: I’m sure someone as intelligent as Mr. DEDEDE had an inkling that Jamie would want to target the injury and keep this match on the ground where he could do the most damage.

Gavin Kirkland: Mr. DEDEDE initiates a collar-and-elbow tie up, but Jamie pushes him off and goes for another kick! DEDEDE catches the leg and snaps Jamie to the mat, looking for a single leg crab, but ‘The Ace’ lands a kick to the left knee before DEDEDE can properly execute the hold, which causes him to lose control of Jamie. Jamie with a leg sweep that gets DEDEDE on the mat, and he immediately goes right for the left leg! DEDEDE uses his legs to capture Jamie around the neck but Jamie quickly kips out and is back up. DEDEDE grabs the ropes immediately and pulls himself onto the apron.

Deadprez: Another stalling tactic by Mr. DEDEDE, and once again, Jamie hangs back. It’s almost like Mr. DEDEDE wants Jamie to rush him, so he can goad him into making a mistake, which would allow Mr. DEDEDE to take control of this match.

Eve: I can only assume that a quicker match would favor Mr. DEDEDE more than a drawn out, technical one would. We can only speculate about how he is working this match, and how he’s been enduring a rigorous training schedule on top of everything else. To win the match, he needs to end it quickly.

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie motions for DEDEDE to get back in the ring, and that prompts the Chairman to drop down to the outside in defiance. DEDEDE is pacing around the ring, and forcing Jamie to debate on what move to make next. In situations like these in the past, we have seen Jamie go high risk, but that’s not happening tonight.

Deadprez: DEDEDE looks up into the ring and he cocks a smile at Jamie. DEDEDE is heading for the ramp! Is he walking out on this match?

Eve: I… wow. Well, the title can’t change hands on a count out, but this contest has been billed as Career versus Title…

Gavin Kirkland: There is no way in Hell that Jamie wants to win this match via count out, but the referee has started to count. DEDEDE is standing in the middle of the ramp, facing the ring, and he’s literally daring Jamie to get out of the ring. It doesn’t seem as if ‘The Ace’ has much choice because we know that DEDEDE would let this match end via count out just to spite Jamie.

Deadprez: A scowl crosses Jamie’s face as he steps between the ropes and drops down to the outside. The referee is up to a count of six, and Jamie rushes towards DEDEDE! DEDEDE CATCHES JAMIE WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT AND HE SPRINTS TOWARDS THE RING!

Eve: DEDEDE breaks up the count and look at that smirk on his face! ‘The Ace’ is holding his gut and now he’s going to make his way back into the ring, knowing that DEDEDE is going to go right on the attack.

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE is mocking Jamie right now, stepping down on the ropes and inviting him to get back into the ring.

Deadprez: The referee has started counting again, but hold on. DEDEDE is actually stopping the count.

Mr. DEDEDE (Off Mic): Now, now. We wouldn’t want a man’s Hall of Fame career to end like that, would we?

Jamie O’Hara: :mjpls:

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie approaches the ring, making his way up the ring steps, and Mr. DEDEDE kicks the ropes as Jamie climbs inside the ring! Jamie immediately grabs for his balls and DEDEDE jerks him into the ring by the hair! DEDEDE throws Jamie in the corner and follows it up with a giant splash! DEDEDE with several stiff boxing style punches to Jamie’s body! He is lighting ‘The Ace’ up right now and Jamie goes for a knee strike! DEDEDE avoids the strike by spinning around and catching Jamie with a back fist! DEDEDE backs up just a bit and comes running at Jamie! RAPTURE! HELLUVA KICK CONNECTS ON JAMIE!!!

Eve: DEDEDE PULLS JAMIE OUT OF THE CORNER AND HE PLANTS HIM WITH ‘DEMOLITION’! THE DIAMOND CUTTER HAS PUT JAMIE O’HARA DOWN AND DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Deadprez: JAMIE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

(A devious smile crosses Gawd’s face as he sits back on his haunches. He looks at his rival, the legendary Jamie O’Hara, and he slaps him right across the face.)

Eve: The sheer disrespect in that slap is telling, guys. Mr. DEDEDE pulls Jamie up and he begins unloading another series of boxing punches! He catches Jamie right in the nose, and is able to back him up against the ropes. Jamie hooks the arm, but DEDEDE catches him right in the breadbasket with several perfectly placed punches. Jamie is doubled over and DEDEDE catches him in the jaw with his right knee. He drags Jamie away from the ropes and looks to whip him across the ring!

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie plants his feet and he is able to reverse, get DEDEDE in a wristlock, and now it’s Jamie with the whip!

Deadprez: But DEDEDE pulls him in for a short arm clothesline that Jamie ducks! Jamie clubs DEDEDE in the back of the head but DEDEDE is able to brush it off and as Jamie goes to Irish whip DEDEDE into the corner, DEDEDE catches him with a leaping reverse STO!!! DEDEDE drops down and goes for the cover!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Eve: Jamie kicks out!

Deadprez: DEDEDE pulls Jamie back to his feet and hits him with an uppercut. Jamie is whipped into the ropes but he leapfrogs over Mr. DEDEDE and rebounds back towards him! Jamie manages to drop down in a baseball slide and go between DEDEDE’s legs, and he scrambles back up! Jamie with a dropkick to the back of DEDEDE’s knees, and he follows it up with a running knee strike to the back of DEDEDE’s head! Jamie quickly goes for the leg, looking for a kneebar, but DEDEDE counters with an armbar attempt! Jamie locks his fingers and swings his feet towards the ropes, his toe just brushing the bottom one! The referee is down and he is telling DEDEDE that he has to let go of the hold!

Referee: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE releases the armbar and rolls away from Jamie. He’s back up now and he is testing that left knee. I have no idea how he is able to walk or even wrestle this match, but he doesn’t seem to be favoring it at the moment.

Eve: Jamie has locked in on that knee and DEDEDE dodges a ground attack! The Gawd catches Jamie in the back of the head with a kick and he immediately hooks him for a suplex. Jamie blocks the suplex, punches DEDEDE in the stomach a few times, and brings DEDEDE up! DEDEDE fights his way back to his feet and he hooks Jamie around the neck, swinging him around for a neckbreaker!

Deadprez: Jamie manages to shove DEDEDE off and DEDEDE hits the ropes! He hooks his arms as Jamie charges forward and gets his feet up! Jamie’s face collides with DEDEDE’s feet and DEDEDE sprints at Jamie! DEDEDE is looking for a spear but JAMIE WITH ‘IN EXCELSIS!!!’ JAMIE JUST CAUGHT MR. DEDEDE WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE AND HE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: KICKOUT AT ONE!!!

Jamie O’Hara: :wtf: ONE???

Eve: Mr. DEDEDE just kicked out of In Excelsis at one! Jamie shakes his head in utter disbelief and immediately starts hammering away on DEDEDE! DEDEDE is able to shake him off and get back to his feet, and he dodges another attempt at a takedown from Jamie! DEDEDE is working this match smart, and Jamie is back up. He initiates a collar and elbow tie up with DEDEDE and forces him back into the corner! Jamie catches DEDEDE with a knee to the gut and he unloads a series of rapid fire chops to DEDEDE’s chest! DEDEDE catches Jamie in the face with a forearm, but Jamie is quick to strike! He fires off multiple forearms and follows up the final strike with a massive uppercut! DEDEDE’s head snaps back and that allows Jamie to hook DEDEDE’s left leg around the middle rope! Jamie kicks DEDEDE in the knee and goes for the ankle! He pulls back and DEDEDE is crying out!

Deadprez: The referee comes in and admonishes Jamie, letting him know that he has to break the hold. Jamie doesn’t listen which forces the referee to start the count!

Referee: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie lets go but he is dragging DEDEDE out of the corner! He wrestles him down to the mat and this is exactly where Jamie wants to be right now. He wants to wear down DEDEDE and get in a position to where he can’t kick out or continue.

Eve: Jamie pulls DEDEDE out of the corner and looks for a right hand! DEDEDE blocks and shoves Jamie back. He’s testing that leg and making sure it’s alright, but Jamie is already circling him! Jamie wants to apply the pressure right now and he reaches out, looking to connect with a right to DEDEDE’s jaw! DEDEDE deflects the blow, but Jamie uncorks a high kick that connects, and that gives him the opening to lunge for DEDEDE! He grabs DEDEDE around the legs and takes him to the mat, but DEDEDE is able to outmuscle Jamie for the moment. DEDEDE gets himself in a sitting position, while Jamie has his arms wrapped around that left leg. DEDEDE grabs for Jamie’s waist, which forces him to raise up and get on all fours, and that allows DEDEDE to hammer away on Jamie’s arm! Jamie tightens his grip on DEDEDE’s leg, and that forces DEDEDE up and allows him to slip his arm around Jamie’s neck!

Deadprez: Great defense from DEDEDE, but he has to break Jamie’s grip. DEDEDE gets his other arm around Jamie’s waist, but Jamie is able to twist the knee of Mr. DEDEDE ever so slightly! DEDEDE lets go of Jamie’s neck and elbows him in the head, and that brings Jamie to his feet! He still has DEDEDE by the leg and is able to maintain control! He gets DEDEDE and brings him down to the mat with a nice looking fisherman’s suplex! Jamie bridges up for a pin!

OOONNNEEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Another kick out at one!

Eve: Jamie has kept control of the leg once again, but DEDEDE is fighting back with several stiff elbows. He is driving his elbow into Jamie’s shoulder as Jamie forces them closer to the corner. DEDEDE reaches out, seeing if he can get the ropes, but they’re not close enough! He elbows Jamie a few more times before scooting back and getting himself at the ropes! Jamie takes a shot at the left knee, and connects with a punch, and that forces DEDEDE to drape his leg over Jamie’s back and continue peppering him with elbows. Jamie switches to a waist lock to try and disrupt Mr. DEDEDE’s striking, but DEDEDE wraps his other leg around Jamie’s waist and is able to get an arm around the Ace’s neck! Jamie gets to his knees and goes from side to side, but he can’t shake the hold DEDEDE has on him! Jamie uses his legs to lift them both up and he is able to muscle DEDEDE back against the turnbuckles. Jamie shoves his shoulder into DEDEDE’s stomach, which forces DEDEDE to let up just a bit, and Jamie is able to free himself!

Deadprez: Jamie with another shoulder thrust! DEDEDE grips his stomach and Jamie is upright, and he begins striking DEDEDE with those perfectly placed kicks! They connect to DEDEDE’s rib area, thighs, and legs, and of course Jamie targets the left knee once again! He stomps on it and presses his boot against it, gripping the ropes and causing DEDEDE a lot of discomfort! The referee gets in there and forces Jamie to back off just a little.

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie doesn’t waste any time though! He quickly races around the ring and flies at DEDEDE with a massive corner clothesline! Jamie runs around the ring for a second time, and this time it’s a running high knee strike! It connected with DEDEDE’s jaw and now Jamie has the Answers World Champion up!

Eve: Jamie drags Mr. DEDEDE to the center of the ring and hooks him for a DDT… but DEDEDE with punches to the rib cage area, and that allows him to free himself! DEDEDE takes off running, sprinting past Jamie, and hits the ropes! He flies back at Jamie and gets him down with a shoulder block! DEDEDE jumps over Jamie’s fallen body and runs the ropes again! This time he comes back and drops an elbow down across Jamie’s throat! Mr. DEDEDE decides not to go for the cover and once again he runs the ropes! Mr. DEDEDE with yet another elbow drop! He grabs Jamie, and pulls him up…. SIT OUT VERTICAL SUPLEX! EGO DEATH DRIVER TO JAMIE O’HARA AND MR. DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOO-

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie gets the shoulder up!

Deadprez: Mr. DEDEDE mounts Jamie and he begins firing away! He strikes him in the face and head, but Jamie is able to throw him off! DEDEDE comes right back but Jamie rakes DEDEDE across the face! JAMIE GOES FOR THE KNEE BUT DEDEDE USES HIS FREE LEG TO KICK JAMIE RIGHT IN THE HEAD!

Eve: DEDEDE hurries to his feet, but Jamie is back up as well! Jamie ducks a lariat and he grabs DEDEDE around the waist! DEDEDE blocks the take down thanks to a back elbow, but Jamie hits him in the back of the head with a forearm!

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie darts past Mr. DEDEDE, hits the ropes, and tries to take DEDEDE down with a running lariat! DEDEDE REMAINS STANDING! JAMIE DRIVES HIS SHOULDER INTO DEDEDE’S CHEST BUT DEDEDE DROPS HIM TO A KNEE WITH A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK! JAMIE IS BACK UP AND HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND DEDEDE’S WAIST! DEDEDE GRABS HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK POSITION BUT JAMIE! JAMIE’S GOT THE LEFT LEG AGAIN!!!

Deadprez: ROLLING KNEEBAR!!! JAMIE HAS DEDEDE TRAPPED! DEDEDE FLAILS ABOUT AS JAMIE LOOKS TO SNAP THAT INJURED LEFT KNEE IN HALF! THE REFEREE IS DOWN, CHECKING ON DEDEDE, BUT DEDEDE ISN’T HAVING IT!! HE IS KICKING AT JAMIE WITH THE FREE LEG AND EVENTUALLY JAMIE LETS UP ENOUGH TO ALLOW DEDEDE TO SHIFT POSITIONS! DEDEDE TRIANGLES HIS LEGS AND HE USES HIS SIZE ADVANTAGE TO POWER JAMIE OVER AND STACK THE ACE ON HIS SHOULDERS!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Eve: JAMIE KICKS OUT!!!

Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE LETS GO OF THE KNEEBAR! DEDEDE is free and he rolls to the outside! Mr. DEDEDE is limping around the ring and trying to shake out that leg. Jamie sees him pacing around and he backs up…. RUNNING START! TOPE CON HILO! JAMIE CONNECTS WITH DEDEDE AND HE IS THROWING HANDS! JAMIE IS BEATING ON DEDEDE AND DEDEDE IS TRYING TO COVER UP! JAMIE THROWS A FEW MORE PUNCHES BEFORE ROLLING OFF DEDEDE AND JERKING HIM UP BY THE HAIR! HE THROWS DEDEDE INTO THE PLEXIGLASS CASING AND CATCHES HIM ACROSS THE JAW WITH A STIFF LOOKING KICK! DEDEDE FALLS TO THE GROUND AND JAMIE DROPS A KNEE ACROSS DEDEDE’S INJURED LIMB! JAMIE IS PUNCHING THAT LEFT KNEE NOW! DEDEDE TRIES TO FEND HIM OFF, BUT JAMIE GRABS THE LEG AND PULLS DEDEDE INTO A FIGURE FOUR! FIGURE FOUR IS APPLIED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!

Eve: Jamie can’t win the match this way, though! Jamie knows he has to get DEDEDE back into the ring in order to get a decision!

Deadprez: I don’t think he cares right now! Jamie just wants to hurt Mr. DEDEDE and make sure he never walks again! DEDEDE is doing what he can to shift the momentum in his favor, but you can see the toll it’s taking. DEDEDE’s ripping at his hair and crying out, but he is rolling to his side to try and reverse this submission! Jamie let’s go because he doesn’t want to lose the advantage and he begins pulling DEDEDE back towards the ring! He pulls the champion up and rolls him onto the apron and now Jamie is pulling DEDEDE towards the ring post!

Gavin Kirkland: But DEDEDE manages to boot Jamie back and quickly scoots to the center of the ring! Jamie dives back inside but DEDEDE is able to quickly cut him off! I will never know where DEDEDE finds his superhuman strength but he is working through his injury and stomping away on Jamie’s back! Jamie is able to force his way up though and he goes for a takedown! DEDEDE clubs him in the back of the neck and drives his good knee into Jamie’s face! Jamie falls back and DEDEDE drops another good knee down across Jamie’s face! DEDEDE drags Jamie to the corner and drapes his neck across the ropes.

Eve: DEDEDE with the choke, and we all know that he doesn’t give a damn if he’s disqualified or not. He does let go before the five count this time, but he goes right back to the choke! DEDEDE lets go right before the referee gets to five and he pulls Jamie back to the center of the ring. DEDEDE goes for the ‘Impaler’ and Jamie is driven down into the canvas thanks to that lifting Impaler DDT! DEDEDE crawls over Jamie for the cover!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Deadprez: Jamie kicks out!

Gavin Kirkland: Mr. DEDEDE takes a deep breath. He’s got to know it’s going to take a monumental effort to put Jamie away here tonight at Pain for Pride. The man is fighting for his wife, his unborn child, the Answers World Championship, and his career.

Deadprez: I think Mr. DEDEDE is well aware of the effort it will take and what exactly he needs to do in order to get the job done. The only question I have is whether or not DEDEDE’s left knee is going to last.

Eve: DEDEDE keeps Jamie grounded with a headlock, looking to wear him down right now. That’s smart because this allows Mr. DEDEDE to rest his leg for a bit, while maintaining control of the match. He forces Jamie down to the mat and switches to the front facelock position. Jamie gets to his knees, and is able to catch DEDEDE with a couple of nice shots to the breadbasket. DEDEDE is undeterred and he flips over on his back, wrapping his legs around Jamie’s waist! He’s got Jamie in a rear naked choke!

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think he has it completely sunk in because Jamie is working his way free! He’s working to free himself from DEDEDE’s legs, and he starts driving his fist down into that knee! DEDEDE hangs on for a few more seconds but he is forced to release that hold! He has no other choice but to unwrap his legs! He tries to maintain control of the headlock but Jamie forces both men back up and he elbows his way free. Jamie runs the ropes, but he’s met by a shoulder block!

Deadprez: Jamie is right back up, but DEDEDE is the one rushing the ropes now! DEDEDE goes for a running knee strike, but Jamie catches him with a superkick! DEDEDE falls back and Jamie quickly scrambles to the top rope! I think we are about to see a second attempt at the Genki Cannon!

Eve: YES, DEADPREZ! JAMIE IS BACK TO THE TOP AND HE IS GOING FOR THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT MR. DEDEDE JUST KIPPED BACK UP AND HE CAUGHT JAMIE WITH A SPEAR! JAMIE IS PLANTED INTO THE MAT AND DEDEDE IS NOW RUNNING TO THE ROPES! HE MAKES HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP! MR. DEDEDE GETS HIMSELF SET AND HE FLIES! SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO JAMIE!

Deadprez: DEDEDE NEVER SAW JAMIE KIP UP AND DEDEDE IS GREETED WITH AN IN EXCELSIS! DEDEDE DROPS TO THE MAT! THAT WAS A NASTY LANDING! MR. DEDEDE IS DOWN AND JAMIE QUICKLY DRAGS HIM TO THE CORNER! JAMIE SLIPS OUT OF THE RING AND PULLS DEDEDE INTO THE WISHBONE POSITION! YIKES! THAT HAD TO HURT, TO BE HONEST! JAMIE IS NOW CONTROLLING THE LEG AND HE SLAMS DEDEDE’S LEFT KNEE INTO THE RING POST.

Eve: JAMIE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE LEG AND HE IS WRAPPING DEDEDE IN A FIGURE FOUR! FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE RING POST! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS IN TROUBLE! DEDEDE IS SCREAMING AND THE REFEREE IS YELLING AT JAMIE TO LET GO! HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO START THE COUNT AND JAMIE LETS GO RIGHT BEFORE THE FIVE! JAMIE CLIMBS BACK INTO THE RING AND PULLS MR. DEDEDE UP! HE’S SETTING HIM UP FOR WHAT LOOKS TO BE A PILEDRIVER… NO!!!! DEDEDE LOCKS HIS ARMS AROUND JAMIE’S WAIST AND BLOCKS! DEDEDE HAMMERING AWAY ON JAMIE’S BACK! JAMIE BACKS UP… IN EXCEL-

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! DEDEDE GRABS JAMIE UP AND PUTS HIM DOWN WITH A ‘GRAND SLAM’!!!! THE ROCK BOTTOM TO JAMIE O’HARA AND DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Deadprez: JAMIE KICKS OUT JUST LIKE HE DID DURING THEIR UNTELEVISED SINGLES MATCH BACK IN 2018!

Eve: DEDEDE SLAMS HIS HAND INTO THE MAT! He is so annoyed right now. He’s back to his feet and I can’t help but wonder what he has planned :lupe:

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE is dragging Jamie to the ropes and he sits him on the top turnbuckle :lupe:

Deadprez: DEDEDE makes his way to the second rope, but Jamie is able to catch him in the face with a couple of punches. That temporarily derails Mr. DEDEDE, and Jamie strikes him with a huge headbutt! Mr. DEDEDE nearly tumbles off the ropes because the headbutt clearly stunned both men. Jamie is reeling a little from it, and Mr. DEDEDE is gripping the ropes on either side of Jamie to make sure he stays upright. Jamie headbutts DEDEDE again, and this time DEDEDE’s foot slips off the rope! Jamie grabs DEDEDE by the hair, but DEDEDE catches him with an uppercut! DEDEDE regains his footing and he grabs Jamie, hoisting him up in a modified fireman’s carry position! He hooks his arm around Jamie’s neck and DROPS DOWN, DDTING JAMIE ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!

Eve: JAMIE IS LIMP ON THE MAT NOW AND DEDEDE DRAGS HIM AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND GOES FOR THE COVER!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHH-

Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Deadprez: DEDEDE snarls at the referee and drags Jamie up. He begins to work over the neck area, cinching in a headlock and tightening his grip. He locks his hands around Jamie’s chin and pulls back on the neck. Jamie immediately reaches for the ropes, but DEDEDE makes sure Jamie isn’t able to inch them forward. Jamie tries a different strategy and reaches for DEDEDE’s legs, but DEDEDE immediately releases the hold and rolls out of the way. Jamie is favoring his neck as he crawls towards the ropes, pulling himself up in the process.

Eve: SPEAR! DEDEDE WITH A SPEAR TO JAMIE THAT SENDS THEM BOTH THROUGH THE ROPES! DEDEDE ROLLS OFF JAMIE AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE RING STEPS! DEDEDE GRABBING THE STEPS AND HE HOLDS THEM UP IN THE AIR! HE WAITS FOR JAMIE TO GET BACK UP AND DEDEDE RUSHES JAMIE!

Gavin Kirkland: DROP KICK! DROP KICK! JAMIE WITH A DROP KICK THAT FORCES THE STEPS INTO DEDEDE’S FACE! THE STEPS FALL ON TOP OF THE GAWD AND JAMIE IMMEDIATELY SCRAMBLES ONTO THE APRON! HE SCURRIES UP THE ROPES AND TAKES A LEAP OF FAITH! GENKI CANNON! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE STEPS! DEDEDE IS CRUSHED UNDERNEATH OF THEM!

Deadprez: JAMIE GRABS THE EDGE OF THE STEPS AND DRIVES THEM DOWN ON TOP OF DEDEDE! HE DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THROWING THEM TO THE SIDE AND STOMPING DOWN ON DEDEDE’S KNEE! JAMIE PULLS DEDEDE UP AND THROWS HIM RIGHT INTO THE STEPS! THE CHAIRMAN BOUNCES OFF THE STEPS AND JAMIE GRABS THEM… AND HE SLAMS THEM DOWN ON DEDEDE’S KNEE :damn:

Eve: :lupe: That might do it, because the reigning and defending Answers World Champion is rolling around in agony now. He is grabbing at his left knee and now Jamie looks like a shark who is smelling blood for the first time in awhile. Jamie walks around DEDEDE and drops down. He slams his fist into DEDEDE’s face relishing the moment. He punches DEDEDE again, and again, and again, and again! Jamie is just unloading right now, while Mr. DEDEDE is utterly defenseless! ‘The Ace’ pulls DEDEDE back up, who can barely stand, and he slams Mr. DEDEDE’s face off the hardest part of the ring! Jamie now slamming DEDEDE’s face into the ring post!

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie lets DEDEDE drop and he immediately begins to rip up the protective padding! Jamie is exposing the concrete now and he makes his way back over to Mr. DEDEDE. He stomps on DEDEDE’s knee a few more times before drags him over to the exposed area of the floor. Jamie slams DEDEDE’s knee into the concrete before pulling him back up!

Deadprez: JAMIE HOISTS DEDEDE IN THE AIR, HOLDING HIM FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A STALLING SUPL-

Eve: MR. DEDEDE LEAPS OUT OF IT!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD! HE JUST SPIKED JAMIE O’HARA ON HIS HEAD WITH A FLIPPING PILEDRIVER OUT OF NOWHERE!!

Gavin Kirkland: THERE’S NO PADDING ON THE GROUND :damn:! I don’t like the way Jamie landed :damn:! His neck might be broken :damn:!

Deadprez: HOW IN THE HELL DID MR. DEDEDE DO THAT?! I am fucking floored right now! I really have no clue how the champ had the wherewithal to do something like that!

Eve: The referee is out of the ring now and he is checking on Jamie. Jamie hasn’t moved and obviously Mr. DEDEDE is still favoring his knee.

(Mr. DEDEDE has made it back up into a sitting position and despite the obvious pain he is in, he has a maniacal, crazed look in his eyes.)

Deadprez: Why is Mr. DEDEDE reaching under the ring?

Eve: :skip: DEDEDE’s got a small bag in his hand that is currently unzipping. What the hell?

(DEDEDE pulls a syringe out of the bag and rips the cap off of it with his teeth. He spits the cap out and wastes absolutely no time jamming that syringe into his own left knee.)

Gavin Kirkland: HE JUST INJECTED HIMSELF WITH SOMETHING!

Deadprez: Well we have been speculating for awhile as to how it’s even remotely possible for DEDEDE to compete through this injury and keep going. I guess we have the answer.

Eve: DEDEDE is using the ring skirt to pull himself up and he is testing the leg. The Gawd winces but he takes a few more steps BEFORE HE STARTS TO SPRINT! DEDEDE RACES AROUND THE RING AND HE JUST SPEARED JAMIE O’HARA IN THE BACK AS THE REFEREE HELPED UP THE ACE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREE IS DOWN AND DEDEDE REACHES UNDER THE RING! HE PULLS OUT A KENDO STICK AND STARTS BEATING JAMIE! JAMIE IS DOWN FROM THAT SPEAR AND DEDEDE IS WHIPPING THE ACE SO HARD THAT SEVERAL NASTY LOOKING WELTS HAVE FORMED ON JAMIE’S BACK! DEDEDE CONTINUES TO MERCILESSLY BEAT HIS SUBJECT!!!

Deadprez: :lupe: Some of those welts have already split open and DEDEDE finally tires. He drops the kendo stick and drags Jamie up the ramp. Where are they going? :lupe:

Eve: DEDEDE is leaving the ringside area and he has taken Jamie all the way up to the stage. DEDEDE relentlessly stomps on Jamie’s neck a few times before getting Jamie to his feet! DEDEDE is toying with Jamie now, throwing more boxing punches that Jamie can not defend right now. Jamie swings wildly with a left hook, but DEDEDE ducks, cocks a grin, and mocks Jamie by doing a little spin and connecting with a back fist! Jamie staggers towards the edge of the stage and DEDEDE throws another jab! It catches Jamie on the jaw! DEDEDE with another jab! This one catches Jamie in the nose! :lupe:! Jamie is teetering very close to the edge of the stage and DEDEDE takes one final swipe at Jamie! A punch right to Jamie’s solar plexus sends Jamie flying off the stage!!!

Gavin Kirkland: :kellycry: I think Jamie might be hurt, guys!

(The official that had been taken out by the spear a few minutes ago has come too and is watching what just happened on the video tron. He heads up the ramp but DEDEDE quickly stops him!)

Mr. DEDEDE (Off Mic): Anything goes.

Referee (Off Mic): Now Ryan…

Mr. DEDEDE (Off Mic): I SAID ANYTHING GOES!

(The referee throws hands up in surrender.)

Eve: Welp.

Deadprez: :wow: The War to End All Wars.

(Mr. DEDEDE has a crazed look in his eyes as he looks down at Jamie O’Hara. Jamie is on his knees, trying to force himself up. He is still holding his neck, in obvious pain.)

Gavin Kirkland: The fuck is DEDEDE about to do…

Eve: DEDEDE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STAGE AND HE’S TAKEN OFF IN A DEAD SPRINT! THE GAWD GOES AIRBORNE AS HE THROWS HIMSELF OFF THE STAGE INTO A ROTATING SOMERSAULT SENTON THING! I SWEAR TO GAWD THIS MAN JUST FLEW AND HE LANDS ON TOP OF JAMIE!!!!

(REPLAY)

(REPLAY ENDS)

Gavin Kirkland: I GOT NO WORDS!!! HOW DID HE DO THAT?!

Deadprez: HE MUSTA INJECTED HIMSELF WITH SOME CRACK COCAINE :mjlol:

Eve: DEDEDE IS BACK UP AND HE’S HOISTED JAMIE OVER HIS SHOULDER! DEDEDE IS BRINGING THEM BACK TOWARDS THE RING! THIS CROWD IS PISSED! THEY DIDN’T COME HERE TO SEE JAMIE O’HARA LOSE HIS CAREER! THEY CAME HERE TO SEE THE ACE FINALLY ASCEND TO HIS THRONE!

Gavin Kirland: THEY’RE BACK AT THE RING AND MR. DEDEDE TAKES A HOLD OF JAMIE AND LOOKS TO LAWN DART HIM INTO THE RING POST!

Eve: NO! JAMIE HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN TO HIS FEET AND HE SHOVES DEDEDE! DEDEDE COLLIDES WITH THE RING POST AND JAMIE GIVES THE REFEREE A LOOK OF DESPERATION!

Jamie O’Hara (Off Mic): Anything goes??

Referee (Off Mic): That’s what he said!

Deadprez: JAMIE IS UNDER THE RING NOW AND HE GRABS THE FIRST THING HE CAN GET HIS HANDS ON!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S A FUCKING FORK! HE JAMS THE FORK INTO DEDEDE’S SKULL AND STARTS STABBING HIM WITH IT! JAMIE IS GOING FOR BLOOD NOW AND I’M NOT MAD ABOUT SEEING THIS MATCH BREAK DOWN INTO THIS! SOMEONE ISN’T GOING TO WALK OUT OF THIS BUILDING TONIGHT! THAT’S FOR DAMN SURE!

Eve: JAMIE HAS THAT FORK STUCK IN THE TOP OF DEDEDE’S HEAD AND HE IS USING HIS FIST TO HAMMER IT DOWN! BLOOD IS STAINING THE BLONDE LOCKS OF OUR CHAIRMAN AND JAMIE RUTHLESSLY RIPS THE FORK OUT OF DEDEDE’S SKULL! DEDEDE FALLS BACK AND AN EVIL LOOK HAS CROSSED THE FACE OF THE ACE!

Deadprez: JAMIE JUST STABBED THE FORK INTO MR. DEDEDE’S LEFT KNEE!

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE CRIES OUT LIKE A WOUNDED ANIMAL AND JAMIE HAS LOST IT! HE IS STABBING DEDEDE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! DEDEDE’S SURVIVAL SKILLS HAVE KICKED IN AND HE IS KICKING AT JAMIE! HE FINALLY KNOCKS THE FORK FROM JAMIE’S HANDS AND CATCHES HIM IN THE NUTS WITH ANOTHER KICK! DEDEDE DRAGS HIS WOUNDED LEG TOWARDS HIM AND QUICKLY MAKES NOTE OF THE DAMAGE BEFORE SOME FUCKING HOW PULLING HIMSELF UP! DEDEDE ROLLS INTO THE RING AND LIMPS OVER TO THE CORNER, QUICKLY UNTYING THE TURNBUCKLE PADS!

Eve: JAMIE FINALLY THROWS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE RING RIGHT AS MR. DEDEDE FINISHES EXPOSING THOSE TURNBUCKLES! JAMIE PUSHES HIMSELF TO HIS FEET RIGHT AS DEDEDE TURNS AROUND AND JAMIE GOES FOR IN EXCELSIS!!!!

Deadprez: RIGHT INTO A SPEAR! JAMIE O’HARA IS FOLDED UP IN HALF BUT MR. DEDEDE ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER! HE PICKS UP THE DEAD WEIGHT OF JAMIE AND HOOKS HIM… CUTTHROAT SUPLEX INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! THE BACK OF JAMIE’S HEAD SLAMS INTO THE EXPOSED STEEL AND NOW DEDEDE IS GOING FOR THE COVER!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :mjcry:

Eve: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! LOOK! JAMIE GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!!

Deadprez: JAMIE’S FOOT IS ON THE ROPES AND MR. DEDEDE IS FURIOUS! HE THOUGHT HE HAD JUST ENDED JAMIE’S CAREER! JAMIE TOOK A SPEAR AND A NASTY BLOW TO THE SKULL AND HE SOMEHOW STILL MANAGED TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! DEDEDE ANGRILY YANKS JAMIE AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! DEDEDE GOING TO THE OUTSIDE AND HE MAKES HIS WAY UP TOP!

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE is very unsteady though! :lupe: That knee nearly buckled! Jamie no doubt made it worse by stabbing it over and over with that fork.

Eve: DEDEDE has himself steadied though and he is waiting for Jamie to get up! How can Jamie even get up at this point?? He’s taken a lot of damage to his neck and he could have a concussion for all we know.

Deadprez: But Jamie has the heart of a champion, though. He’s going to fight until the death. We have seen this man go through so much. He has come up short on multiple occasions. He has had to watch his family tortured at the hands of Mr. DEDEDE, and he nearly lost his unborn child thanks to a flaming Equalizer.

Gavin Kirkland: And he’s up. Jamie O’Hara is up on his feet and DEDEDE rises up. DEDEDE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HE CONNECTS WITH ‘GLASS CEILING’!!! JAMIE JUST WENT DOWN TO HIS OWN WIFE’S SIGNATURE MOVE! THE TOP ROPE STUNNER! DEDEDE THROWS HIMSELF OVER JAMIE FOR A OVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Eve: JAMIE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Deadprez: DEDEDE PUNCHES THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION! HE QUICKLY GETS UP AND GRABS JA-

Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE PULLS HIM DOWN FOR A SMALL PACKAGE PIN! DEDEDE’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Eve: DEDEDE IS ABLE TO POWER OUT!

Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE TRIES TO GET TO HIS FEET BUT JAMIE LOCKS ONTO HIS LEGS! JAMIE HAS DEDEDE BY THE LEGS AND HE BRINGS HIM DOWN! JAMIE LOOKS FOR A KNEEBAR ONCE AGAIN, BUT DEDEDE TRIANGLES HIS LEGS FOR ANOTHER COUNTER! JAMIE WITH ELBOWS THOUGH! ELBOW AFTER ELBOW CONNECTS WITH DEDEDE’S INJURED LIMB! JAMIE FINALLY UNTANGLES THEIR LEGS AND GETS TO HIS FEET! HE LOOKS FOR ANOTHER FIGURE FOUR BUT DEDEDE BOOTS HIM AWAY! DEDEDE IS ABLE TO PUSH HIMSELF UP BUT JAMIE! JAMIE WITH A SPEAR! JAMIE WITH A SPEAR! JAMIE RIPS DEDEDE IN HALF WITH A SPEAR!

Deadprez: HE DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! INSTEAD, JAMIE GRABS DEDEDE BY THE WRISTS AND HITS HIM WITH A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE JAW!!!! STARDUST BREAKER! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!! JAMIE THROWS HIMSELF ON TOP OF DEDEDE FOR THE COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TT-

Eve: DEDEDE KICKS OUT!

Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE IS IN SHOCK! HOW CAN HE BE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN SHOCKED?? AGAINST ANY OTHER OPPONENT THAT IS A THREE COUNT BUT AGAINST MR. DEDEDE? AGAINST THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME??

Deadprez: JAMIE DROPPING ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AFTER ELBOW TO THAT KNEE NOW! HE WANTS TO RENDER DEDEDE HELPLESS! HE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE HIM KICK OUT OF ANY OTHER FINISHERS!

Eve: JAMIE FINALLY GRABS DEDEDE BY THE WRISTS AGAIN! A SECOND STARDUST BREAKER! THIS TIME JAMIE HOOKS THE LEGS DURING THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! NO! DEDEDE KICKED OUT A SECOND TIME! JAMIE RAKES HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS HAIR! HE CAN’T EVEN REACT RIGHT NOW!

Deadprez: JAMIE’S BLUE EYES ARE FULL OF DESPERATION! HE HAS TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW! HE KNOWS HE DOESN’T HAVE A CHOICE! JAMIE PULLS HIMSELF UP AND STARTS STOMPING AWAY AT DEDEDE’S KNEE! DEDEDE CAN’T DEFEND AGAINST THESE STOMPS! I THINK HIS LEG IS SHOT! JAMIE HOOKS MR. DEDEDE’S WRISTS FOR A THIRD TIME AND HE CLOSES HIS EYES! STRIKE AFTER STRIKE CONNECTS WITH DEDEDE’S JAW! DEDEDE IS OUT! BUT O’HARA ISN’T STOPPING! SO MUCH PAIN AND ANGER IS COMING OUT IN JAMIE RIGHT NOW! HE CONTINUES TO BATTER THE GAWD!

Eve: THE REFEREE IS SIGNALLING FOR JAMIE TO STOP! BUT JAMIE GOES FOR A FIFTH RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! THE REFEREE PULLS HIM AWAY AND HE SIGNALS FOR THE BELL!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. JAMIE O’HARA!!!!

(“Kashmir” begins to blast across the PA system as Jamie stands there, battered, bruised, and emotionally damaged. He looks down at Mr. DEDEDE, who is unconscious in the middle of the ring, and it’s almost as if Jamie is in shock.)

Deadprez: WE HAVE A NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! JAMIE O’HARA HAS JUST DETHRONED THE GAWD!!!!

Eve: I honestly can’t believe it! Jamie did it! Jamie finally got the world championship back in his possession but more importantly, he has finally gotten some sort of revenge on Mr. DEDEDE and some closure for himself and his family.

(The referee has handed Jamie the Answers World Championship, but he is just staring down at Mr. DEDEDE. The referee has called for more officials to come down to the ring because they will have to help Mr. DEDEDE out.)

Gavin Kirkland: Jamie O’Hara and his abs finally accomplished what he set out to do upon returning to the company!

Deadprez: It has been a long road for someone as wonderful and as accomplished as Jamie, and he had to pull out all the stops tonight. Mr. DEDEDE is the best in the world for good reason, and Jamie was able to rise to even greater heights tonight and secure his spot as “The Ascended Master.”

(Jamie has finally taken the championship and is celebrating with it. The crowd is loving every second of this and but all of a sudden their cheers get even louder. A ringside, security has appeared and they are removing the plexiglass. The crowd is buzzing because a glowing, crying, and pregnant Cameron Ella Ava is standing at the barricades, leaning against them for support with her diamond studded walker beside her. Jamie spies her and his face lights up. He sees her tears and his eyes get misty too. He rolls out of the ring, forgetting everyone and everything else.)

(The only thing he sees is her… is them.)

(Jamie and Cameron embrace, and she is comforting him, being his pillar of strength. Jamie cries into her shoulder, clutching the championship and holding onto his wife.)

Jamie O’Hara (Off Mic): It’s over. It’s finally over.

Cameron Ella Ava (Off Mic): It really is.

Jamie O’Hara (Off Mic): I’m sorry… for everything.

Cameron Ella Ava (Off Mic): You know I never blamed you.

(The camera then switches to the trio on commentary in the modern day.)

Eve: What a moment that was, and speaking of Jamie and Cameron, we’ve got some breaking news to report.

Deadprez: Last night, Cameron’s water broke and she was rushed to the hospital. We are proud to announce that at 10:55am this morning, Cameron Ella Ava gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

Gavin Kirkland: TYGTFYH6G5TFY6HG5TFHY6G5TF4RDE

Eve: Yes! They decided to name him Hathaway Avery Ava-O’Hara.

Gavin Kirkland: Beautiful name for the baby Ace! :blessed:

Deadprez: Jamie flew out this morning after filming his interview and is not here tonight but congrats to him and his wife.

Eve: Congratulations to Jamie and Cameron!

(The camera pans over to the ring where we see Gina Romano standing, mic in hand to do ring announcements.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is your MAIN EVENT, scheduled for…ONE FALL!

Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(‘Last Strike’ by Polo G blasts throughout the World 1 Theatre to a mixed reaction as Jon Kelton steps out from the curtain and begins making his way to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE….JON KELTON!!!!

(Kelton stops at the end of the aisle way as ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G is replaced by ‘BxMxC’ by BABYMETAL to a loud pop from the virtual fans as Jack Ripley comes from behind the curtain and begins heading to ring alongside Kelton.)

Gina Romano: And his partner! Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 202 pounds…HE IS THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER…JACK RIPLEY!!!!

Deadprez: Tonight Jack and Kelton may be partners, but next week, these two will be opponents in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Same alongside their opponents tonight. One of whom I’m assuming Jon Kelton must be itching to get his hands on tonight in Andrea Valentine. As the two squared off a few weeks ago and Andrea won the match, but was unrelenting in her assault afterwards. Thankfully the champion was there to make the save.

Eve: Yeah, this new personality of Andrea is flat out nasty but you can’t say it isn’t paying off in someway, shape, or form. Because Andrea did layout Jamie that night you just mentioned Deadprez, and beat Kelton recently. Seems like she could already have the edge going into Road to Redemption.

(Jon and Jack settle into their corner as ‘BxMxC’ transitions over into ‘Young and Bitter’ by Hot Tag Media as Lucas Johnson makes his way down to the ring with a chorus of boos from the virtual fans. Behind him, Albert Hitchman is in tow.)

Gina Romano: And their opponent! Hailing from Long Island, New York, weighing in at 197 pounds…HE IS THE WRESTLING MACHINE…LUCAS JOHNSON!

(Lucas eyes down Kelton and Ripley at the rampway as ‘Young and Bitter’ gets replaced with ‘Roll With Me’ by Charlie XCX to thunderous boos from the audience as Andrea Valentine begins to make her way to the ring alongside Lucas Johnson and Albert Hitchman.)

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GODDDDDDD!!! ANDREA VALENTINE!!! :shaq:

Eve: Don’t even start, bozo! Now when it comes to change in attitudes, Andrea and Lucas both have to be brought into that conversation because both have been showing a more aggressive side as of late. Lucas’ aggressive side even got him noticed by the Showdown General Manager which is why Lucas Johnson was slotted into the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Some people have been very vocal that Lucas doesn’t even deserve this spot as it was originally SKA’s. Who got fired for seemingly no reason by the Showdown General Manager.

Deadprez: I don’t know Ryan Wilson’s reasonings but I do know tonight is the time to prove he does belong in the Extreme Elimination Chamber by knocking off a game Jon Kelton and Jack Ripley.

Gavin Kirkland: BEAT THEIR ASS, ANDREA!!

Eve: :wow:

(Both teams settle into their respective corners as Jon Kelton and Andrea Valentine will be starting this one off.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Deadprez: There’s the bell- AND JON KELTON IMMEDIATELY TAKES IT TO ANDREA, CHARGING HER WITH A FOREARM BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN MOVE FROM HER CORNER! AND JON KELTON IS JUST UNLEASHING A FLURRY OF STRIKES! But the referee pulls Kelton back, don’t wanna get disqualified! Kelton looks to continue his assault but Andrea gets the boot up on Kelton! Just a second was too much time for Andrea to recover, you gotta stay on a woman of this caliber! Andrea now on the attack with a running bulldog that takes Kelton down!

Eve: Just like that, tides have turned for Andrea. Kelton has gotten up to his feet and ANDREA CHARGES FOR THE TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS BUT KELTON IS ABLE TO STOP IT AS HE PLANTS HIS FEET DOWN! KELTON GETS ANDREA UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AND PLANTS HER DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM! That’s gonna send Andrea into retreat here as she powders to the outside of the ring, Kelton follows her! AND ANDREA GETS HER FACE BOUNCED OFF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! KELTON ISNT DONE AS HE WHIPS ANDREA INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Andrea sense this approach isn’t working for her and slides back into the ring! Once again, Kelton is in tow. BUT ANDREA ANTICIPATED IT AND DRIVES KELTON DOWN WITH A RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER!! Kelton certainly wasn’t expecting that as Andrea drags Kelton to her corner and makes the tag over to Lucas!

Gavin Kirkland: Look at her excellent ass…TEAMWORK! Excellent ass teamwork! As now Lucas Johnson is in the ring delivering stomps to a downed Jon Kelton! Lucas must be looking for a measure of revenge too as Jon got into the Extreme Elimination Chamber at the expense of Lucas Johnson. Who has Kelton in the gator roll at the center of the ring! Just rolling Kelton back-and-forth, but soon transitions it into the crossface! Lucas pulls back on the crossface tight and he may just give Kelton no choice but to tap here! KELTON MAY JUST TAP NOW AS HE RAISES HIS HAND- but Kelton looks to have decided against it. He is just looking for some escape! KELTON FINDS ONE AS HE TURNS THE CROSSFACE INTO A PIN!

ONNNEEEEEEE!

TW-

Eve: Lucas manages to kickout, he had to break the hold in doing so though and that’s exactly what Kelton wanted. Speaking of Kelton, you can tell he sense danger as he begins inching his way over to Jack Ripley who is fresh and ready for the tag! BUT LUCAS JOHNSON STOPS THAT IMMEDIATELY BY BRINGING JON DOWN ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK FROM A GERMAN SUPLEX!! Kelton crumpled like paper off that German! And Lucas could be looking for the gator roll again as he locks Kelton in that front facelock! But Kelton quickly brings himself to one knee to block this attempt by Lucas who’s gonna adapt and turn it into a GUILLOTINE CHOKE! BUT LUCAS ISNT QUITE ABLE TO WRAP THE LEGS COMPLETELY AROUND KELTON WHO MANAGES TO BREAK FROM THE HOLD WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! Now is Kelton’s time to make a tag! Lucas is downed and Kelton is crawling to Jack Ripley! KELTON LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR THE TAG- BUT ANDREA YANKS RIPLEY OFF THE APRON AT THE LAST MINUTE!

(The virtual crowd reigns down the boos on Andrea Valentine!)

Deadprez: As much as the people don’t like it, you have to admit that was smart on Andrea’s part. Can’t be a good thing for Kelton though as the isolation is going to continue since Lucas Johnson is back up. LUCAS RUNS AT KELTON WHO DROPS HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER! AND KELTON SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES FOR A LIONSAULT! KELTON HOOKS THE LEG!

ONNNEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWOOO-

Deadprez: LUCAS FORCES A KICKOUT! And a look of relief falls over the face of Albert Hitchman who continues to cheer on his client in this matchup. The hunters may have become the hunted since Lucas is the one looking for a tag now! Kelton isn’t gonna let that happen and brings Lucas up onto his shoulders. F5!! THAT COULD BE I- ANDREA VALENTINE FROM BEHIND! SHE JUST BLINDSIDED, JON KELTON!! And the ref is immediately gonna have to reprimand Andrea for that as he brings her back to her corner. While the ref has his hands full, LUCAS JOHNSON TAKES KELTON OUT WITH A CLAYMORE KICK!!! AND LUCAS HOOKS BOTH LEGS! ANDREA BRINGS THE REF’S ATTENTION OVER TO THE PIN!!

ONNNEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Gavin Kirkland: FUCK! JACK RIPLEY MAKES THE SAVE! :noah:

Eve: Ripley made the save and Lucas nor Andrea are happy about that! Ripley gets back to his corner! And now both Lucas and Kelton are looking to make tags as they crawl to their corners! KELTON MAKES THE TAG AND SO DOES LUCAS! RIPLEY AND ANDREA ARE IN FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE TEAMS AND BOTH B-LINE FOR EACH OTHER! RIPLEY TAKES ANDREA DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! ANDREA ANSWERS BACK WITH OFFENSE OF HER OWN IN A SPINNING BACKFIST BUT RIPLEY DUCKS DOWN AND PLANTS ANDREA DOWN WITH AN INVERTED DDT! Ripley begins scaling the top rope, back to Andrea and this certainly can’t be good for Andrea! BUT LUCAS! LUCAS RUNS AT RIPLEY FROM THE APRON BUT GETS KICKED IN THE FACE FOR HIS EFFORTS! LUCAS MAY HAVE HELPED BY TIME FOR ANDREA WHO ATTEMPTS TO ATTACK RIPLEY BUT GETS KICKED IN THE FACE FOR HER EFFORTS THIS TIME! RIPLEY SOARS OFF THE THE TOP ROPE WITH A MOONSAULT AND RIPLEY SCRAMBLES FOR THE COVER!!

ONNNNEEEEEEE!!

TWWWOOOOOOOO!!

THREEE-

Deadprez: ANDREA SAVES THE MATCH FOR HER TEAM WITH A KICKOUT! Ripley looks like he’s ready to finish Andrea off! And he just might as Andrea is brought up onto his shoulder. Ripley has set his sights for the turnbuckle AND HE CHARGES IN FOR THE LAWN DAR- ANDREA SLIPS OUT THE BACK AND SENDS RIPLEY SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE POST! Ripley goes through the ropes and falls out of the ring! That shoulder is definitely hurting after that! Andrea follows Ripley like a shark that smells blood in the water and Andrea begins waiting for Ripley to get to his feet from the apron. Ripley is doing exactly that AND ANDREA LEAPS OFF THE APRON FOR A METEORA THAT BRINGS JACK DOWN! Andrea is feeling herself at the moment and rolls Ripley back into the ring! Andrea attempts to get in herself- BUT KELTON PULLS ANDREA OUT BY HER LEG! AND THROWS HER FACE-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST BEFORE ROLLING ANDREA BACK IN! Guess you could say that’s revenge for Andrea blindsiding him earlier! Andrea gets back to her feet though and she looks to have no idea where she is- BUT SHE IS MET BY DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!! RUNNING KNEE CONNECTS FROM JACK RIPLEY!! AND RIPLEY SHOOTS FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: RIPLEY GOT HER!!

Eve: Look a little closer, Prez! Andrea got her foot on the rope and the very last second! Excellent ring awareness from Andrea Valentine. However, Andrea may have only delayed the inevitable as Jack is now posted up in the corner! Could this be the “You’ll Float Too?!” Andrea gets to her feet and Jack aims to connect with the superkick! LUCAS JOHNSON!! LUCAS GRABS AHOLD OF THE FOOT OF JACK RIPLEY! THAT DOESNT LAST FOR LONG THOUGH, KELTON BRINGS LUCAS DOWN WITH A SPEAR! MEANWHILE, JACK BRINGS UP THE LEG FOR YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!! ANDREA SIDE STEPS! XOXO!! INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER CONNECTS! AND ANDREA QUICKLY FOLLOWS UP WITH LOVE HAZE!! RUNNING CORKSCREW NECKBREAKER!! ANDREA HOOKS THE LEG!

ONNNEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX plays over the PA system and Lucas Johnson rolls in the ring as him and Andrea Valentine celebrate their victory to boos from the audience.)

Eve: Tonight wasn’t the result that many wanted as Lucas Johnson and Andrea Valentine reign supreme! Andrea has to give Lucas some credit for that victory as he distracted Ripley long enough for Andrea to capitalize!

Deadprez: And these two now have momentum heading into Road to Redempti- KELTON FROM BEHIND ATTACKS ANDREA VALENTINE! MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A WISE DECISION AS NOW LUCAS POUNCES ON JON KELTON AND THE TWO BEGIN TO GANG UP ON KELTON!

Eve: FROM BEHIND, JACK RIPLEY INTERJECTS HIMSELF AND A FAMILIAR SCENE OF ALL OUT CHAOS HAS BROKEN OUT! JACK IS BRAWLING WITH ANDREA AND JON IS BRAWLING WITH LUCAS!

Gavin Kirkland: LUCAS BRINGS KELTON DOWN FOR A MINUTE AND LUCAS ATTEMPTS TO SCORE A CLAYMORE KICK ON JACK RIPLEY WHO DODGES AND THAT CLAYMORE INADVERTENTLY HITS ANDREA! LUCAS TURNS AROUND TO MEET AN EGO TRIP FROM KELTON! FUTURE SHOCK DDT CONNECTS!! AND BOTH KELTON AND RIPLEY ARE STANDING TALL!

Eve: KELTON DROPS RIPLEY WITH AN EGO TRIP AS WELL AND KELTON IS THE ONLY MAN LEFT STANDING!! IS THIS THE SCENE COME ROAD TO REDEMPTION?!

Deadprez: LOOK OUT, KELTON! BRONSON COMES FROM BEHIND WITH BITCH I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF! JON KELTON IS OUT COLD AFTER THAT STIFF BACK ELBOW TO HIS HEAD! AND NOW BRONSON IS THE ONLY ONE STANDING TALL, COULD THIS BE THE SCENE COME ROAD TO REDEMPTION?!

Eve: With a chaotic finish to close out Showdown, we thank you for joining us at the World 1 Theatre! AND GOOD NIGHT!
