Showdown 3/08/25

(EAW intro plays)   

(Showdown opens up with a recap of Reasonable Doubt last week. Milli Banks defeats Ruler. Auburn Ware defeats Grace de Luca, Jordan Perkins, SORN and Jadeite for an Unique Opportunity. Solomon Stane defeats Roberto de la Rosa to retain the Hardcore Championship. Brianna Hill defeats Nikki Kimura to win the Specialists Championship after a betrayal from Silas Mason. The British Invasion defeated Ryan Wilson and TLA to retain the Unified Tag Team Championships. Cody Maverick defeats SOSA Henderson and Miku Sakai to win the National Elite Championship. And finally, in the main event, Donovan Duke is able to retain the Answers World Championship against Harper Lee, Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels. After, the masked person is revealed to be Ronan Malosi, and as he is ready to injure Milli, Veena Adams makes her return and then helps out Milli, Bronson and Kelton to clear house and all four of them stand tall against Silas World.)

(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)

Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!

Deadprez: WE ARE COMING OFF AN INCREDIBLE MARQUEE EVENT IN REASONABLE DOUBT! INSANE TWISTS ALL AROUND, INCREDIBLE MATCHES, IT IS CLEAR THAT RIGHT NOW, WE ARE OFF INTO PAIN FOR PRIDE SEASON!

Eve: A lot of things are happening that we have to wonder about, but for tonight, we have wrestling as always! We will see tonight Jadeite go against Anna Murray, as well as Grace de Luca fighting against Roberto de la Rosa!

Deadprez: We will also see SORN go against Ryan Joseph Wilson and in the main event, an exciting Champion vs Champion bout as the new National Elite Champion Cody Maverick goes against the new Specialists Champion Brianna Hill!

Gavin Kirkland: ENOUGH OF GIVING INTROS, BECAUSE TONIGHT, WE WILL HAVE THE GREATEST OPENING EVER AS MY GOAT, MY QUEEN, VEENA ADAMS IS BAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

(“7 Rings” by Arianna Grande starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand to their feet. The crowd erupts into huge cheers as the gorgeous Veena Adams slowly walks out. She looks around and smiles as she heads to the ring, stopping to taking some selfies with the fans which is something she never did before.)

Deadprez: And here is Veena Adams! She has come back from a serious ankle injury that she suffered back in November, but she was rehabbing hard and wanted to get back in the ring because we all know that this very talented woman has her eyes set on World Championship gold!

Eve: She does, and returned at Reasonable Doubt to even things out when it came to Silas World, all of us were shocked that she came back especially after Ronan Malosi was exposed as the masked man. They attacked Milli Banks and Elysium, but Veena came out to definitely help out as she has built a very tight relationship with Milli Banks and Bronson Daniels from the Territorial Invasion days.

Gavin Kirkland: She looks even better now after being gone and our Queen is here!

(Veena Adams gets into the ring, she looks around as the fans continue to cheer, grabbing the mic and looking out into the crowd before she speaks. The theme dies down.)

Veena Adams: Helllloooooo Hartford! I’m baaaack!

(The fans continue to erupt and cheer.)

Veena Adams: After the freak injury at Road to Redemption that put my career on hold for three months was painstaking, and it gave me a chance to reflect. See, I’m still that bitch, don’t get me wrong. I like my mani/pedi’s, and everything that is glamorous, none of that will ever change, but it seems like while I was gone a new force decided to surface and they think Showdown is theirs to deal with. I don’t think so. Let me explain something very clear, my last name is Adams and that means something in the EAW, and while Silas Mason, who everyone knows was a big shot in professional wrestling outside of the EAW for a long time and has taken countless wrestlers to the World Championship, he is not going to run rough shot around here.

(She gets a huge cheer from the fans hearing that.)

Veena Adams: I’ll admit it, I’m a materialistic bitch, I look down on people, I’m not here to be everyone’s cup of tea. I like my lifestyle and plan to keep it, and there is nothing anyone is going to say about it, BUT in this business, friends are very hard to come by and I made some during Territorial Invasion, and my bestie is Milli Banks, and I am sorry but if you mess with her…. YOU MESS WITH ME!

(Another huge ovation blankets the crowd as ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and lil Wayne starts to play throughout the arena. The fans cheer as the Universal Women’s Champion comes out as the crowd roars. She makes her way to the ring and gets in thanks to the help of Veena Adams, both women hug as the music dies down.)

Milli Banks: Veena, first this is first, I’m so damn happy you are back from that ankle injury, chile!

(The crowd agrees in response)

Milli Banks: Nothing makes me happier to see you, I missed you girl! And I know how hard it was for you to be sitting at home watching everything happen especially how you lost the National Elite Championship. Then to see some masked man that we all know is Ronan Malosi now attacking your man and putting him out of commission, but while I have Bea Valentine next week at Shock Value, we have a lot to handle on Showdown because Silas World…. This isn’t YOUR WORLD!

Veena Adams: Damn right! Milli, first I do want to say that you and me really made a bond at Territorial Invasion and I would like to think we are besties.

Milli Banks: We totally are.

Veena Adams: And nothing makes me happier that you and Bronson Daniels are together. But…. Jon Kelton and I? That’s a different story.

Milli Banks: Look, I get it, what he did with Devolution we all remember, but Jon –

(Suddenly “Mr. Rager” by Kid Cudi starts to play as the crowd stands up to cheer. Elysium slowly comes out as Veena just shakes her head and chuckles to herself. Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton get in the ring. Bronson hugs Veena and then kisses Milli. Jon though stands to the side as their music dies down.

Bronson Daniels: First off, Veena, thank you for being there for us and having our backs. They were about to beat down Milli and there was nothing I could do about it, so I want to say that I owe you one girl.

(Veena winks, they fist bump while Milli puts her arm around the beautiful blonde showing their close bond.)

Bronson Daniels: Secondly, this is to Silas World. There is a little over THREE months left in the season, that is TWELVE Showdown’s and THREE Marquee Live Events after Shock Value next week. I want you to listen closely here because the truth is, we are NOT done, and the WAR HAS JUST STARTED!

(The crowd erupts in cheers.)

Bronson Daniels: Donovan Duke, you are on borrowed time! If you think that Harper Lee or Brianna Hill, or that ogre, Ronan Malosi is going to protect you, well guess what, not happening! Jon should be the Answers World Champion right now! And he was robbed. I was robbed, but that stops now and now with Veena on our side, we have the numbers again!

(As the crowd cheers, Jon Kelton takes the mic.)

Jon Kelton: First thing is first, Ronan…. YOU HURT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!

(A huge eruption of cheers come across the arena as Jon Kelton is talking about what happened to his girlfriend, Pandora Paisley at Reasonable Doubt when she was attacked in the back.)

Jon Kelton: Secondly…. I should be the Answers World Champion! I should be holding that title right now and instead we are standing here empty handed because of your tricks. Well ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Silas World needs to be dealt with and that is exactly what we are going to do, but before that happens, I need to talk to one person… you Veena.

(Veena Adams tilts her head as Jon turns to her.)

Jon Kelton: I know the history we have, the things that we have said and done to each other, and I am not your favorite person and neither is Pandora, and honestly we don’t expect to be. But after talking to Milli and Bronson, I think it is safe to say that there is a bigger enemy in front of us than each other. And I know, I did some really shitty things to you Veena, I get that, stole the National Elite Championship with Devolution, and you ended up winning it back, but in truth, I’m not that same person anymore and I can tell that neither are you. We both know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so what do you say? Can we put our differences aside?

(Veena thinks about it for a moment and then grabs the mic.)

Veena Adams: I want to make one thing perfectly clear with you Jon, you and I are never going to be friends. Me and your girlfriend will never be friends. We aren’t all going to go and have a girls night out and we certainly are not going to have group activities like triple dates. Far as I am concerned, our history speaks for itself, but you are right, there is a bigger threat here than you and me, that is Silas World. With that said, if you want a truce, I’m good with that, but just know that I am doing this for Milli and Bronson.

(Jon Kelton knows the situation and he can accept it. He extends his hand but Veena gives him a face of disgust as she doesn’t want to shake his hand, instead she smiles and holds up a fist so he shrugs his shoulders and fists bumps her. The crowd cheers.)

Veena Adams: Silas World are you listening because I know you are back there, and after what you did to Charlie Marr, to Milli and Elysium…. This isn’t your World anymore…. IT’S OUR WORLD NOW!

(“7 Rings” by Arianna Grande starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand to their feet. Veena just smiles as Milli Banks stands next to her as well, Bronson and Jon slap hands as they know that at least all four of them are on the same page against the real threat on Showdown.)

Deadprez: A united front on Showdown against Silas World and now we see even Veena Adams and Jon Kelton bury the hatchet. They know that the war is far from over as we are about to enter Pain For Pride season!

Eve: It really is, and for these four, they look ready to go right at Silas World, and each of them have their own ambitions of becoming World Champions, but right now you are looking at one United Front like you said Prez.

Gavin Kirkland: Can we just say that Veena and Milli in the ring together look like the most delicious Oreo cookie anyone could ever eat!?

Eve: You are so stupid, Gavin.

(Showdown slowly fades to a commercial break with the last shot of Veena, Elysium and Milli Banks standing together in the ring.)

 

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

Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Oro de Ley’ by Luis Miguel hits to cheers from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first from Yokohama, Japan she is the “Sun Goddess” JADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEITE!!!!!!!!!

(Jadeite makes her way to the ring wearing a golden robe that shines like the sun.)

Gavin Kirkland: YES! MY SUN GODDESS IS HERE! JADEITE FOREVER!

Eve: Well Gavin is more excited than even I am but Jadeite has been impressive since coming to EAW. She grew up in the woodlands of Japan in a tribal environment where she was adorned with the title of the Sun Goddess. She has been trained in all forms of combat since birth and has been built literally her entire life to do what she does in that ring.

Deadprez: That definitely makes her a force to be reckoned with. But we have the best fighters in the world here in EAW and it will be no easy task for anyone to succeed here.

( Heavy is the crown – Linkin Park hits!!!)

Gina Romano: And her opponent… ANNA MURRRRRRRRRRAY!!!!!!

(Anna Murray makes her way to the ring.)

Eve: Well we have not heard a lot about Anna Murray since coming to EAW. We know that she really likes wrestling and is excited to be here. Maybe she got caught up in all the excitement and is getting cold feet coming to the big dance.

Deadprez: Well lets hope she has put all of her focus into her wrestling training because she sure as hell is going to need it against Jadeite!

Gavin Kirkland: Anna says that she is the future of Scottish wrestling and I am interested to see what she brings to the table here in EAW! But my heart lies with my Sun Goddess always…

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: The match is underway as both competitors pace around the ring. Anna Murray and Jadeite go for the lockup! Jadeite has her arm caught by Anna into an Armbar as she twists her around. Jadeite rolls through and flips backwards back up to her feet but Anna holds onto the arm. Jadeite somersaults across the ring and tosses Anna who rolls back up to her feet and they face off once more.

Deadprez: Jadeite and Anna lock up again in the ring with Anna quickly pulling Jadeite into a headlock. Anna then hits a knee to the gut before taking Jadeite down with a Snapmare into a Sleeper Hold. Jadeite might be going down and going out here but she is pulling herself back up to her feet now. Anna keeps the Sleeper applied but Jadeite throws herself backwards into the corner forcing the break. Hard elbow to the top of the skull from Anna to Jadeite before she tosses her down to the mat with a Bodyslam and slides into the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!-

Eve: Kickout right at one by Jadeite. Jadeite showing some resilience here as she gets back up to her feet. Anna charges in but Jadeite tosses her up and over with a Back Toss but Anna cartwheels through it back to her feet. Anna runs up on Jadeite but Jadeite catches her off guard with a Jumping Spin Kick sending Anna out of the ring! Anna gets back up to her feet but Jadeite isn’t letting her rest long! Jadeite off the ropes and goes for a Suicide Dive taking down Anna on the outside! Jadeite is on fire!

Deadprez: Jadeite is back up and throws Anna back into the ring before making her way up to the top rope. Jadeite is going high risk early on in this match! But Anna stops her and tosses Jadeite off the top rope! Anna quickly gets back up and goes to the top rope herself and flies off hitting Jadeite with a Flying Dropkick! She got all of it! Anna kips back up to her feet and quickly goes to the cover on Jadeite!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Jadeite kicks out yet again! Anna quickly gets Jadeite into a Legscissors on the mat but Anna manages to flip her way out of it and connects with a series of hard kicks to Anna backing her up against the ropes. Hard strikes from Jadeite here eventually dropping Anna. Jadeite goes up to the top rope but Anna is back up! Anna stumbles while getting up and Jadeite comes off the top with a Flying Axe Handle! She got all of it and goes for the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Eve: Lots of one counts here so far as Jadeite quickly grabs the leg of Anna Murray and transitions her into an Ankle Lock. But Anna is smart and quickly makes it to the ropes and Jadeite is forced to break. Jadeite then drags Anna back into the middle of the ring and hooks her arms and legs and transitions into a Surfboard Stretch! But she isn’t able to quite get it in as Anna breaks free of it and grabs the ropes and the referee intervenes to get Jadeite away from her.

Deadprez: Anna gets back up and immediately grabs Jadeite flipping her upside down! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!! No! Jadeite smartly struggles out of it and gets away from Anna. That could have been it if Anna had been able to drop Jadeite on her head there. That would have been a deadly maneuver indeed.

Eve: Jadeite quickly rolls out of the ring and escapes out to the barricade. Anna goes out to the apron chasing after her! Jadeite rushes in and grabs the leg of Anna and sweeps her off the apron! No! Anna kicks Jadeite away from her! Jadeite goes back up into the apron! Anna leaps off the apron with a Crossbody! Both women go over the barricade and collapse into the fans in the front row! Watch out everyone!

Deadprez: These fans are getting a real front row experience right here on Showdown where anything can happen! The referee is counting them out now and this might be over!

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

Gavin Kirkland: But Jadeite manages to get herself up and back over the barricade as she is headed back towards the ring!

Referee: EIGHT!

Eve: Jadeite makes it back into the ring! Anna Murray is getting over the barricade as well!

Referee: NINE!!!

Deadprez: Anna Murray throws herself back in the ring just before the count of ten! That was a close call!

Eve: But Jadeite is waiting for her! She grabs the leg of Anna and twists her around into a Figure 4 Leglock! Anna screams out in pain as she flips herself over onto her stomach to reverse it! But Jadeite flips back over! No! Anna rolls all the way across the ring now and manages to get to the ropes and escape the submission hold. Impressive maneuvering there from Anna but she has to be getting overwhelmed by the assault of Jadeite at this point in time. Both competitors slowly back up as Jadeite hits a hard forearm on the face of Anna! But Anna fires back with a ruthless chop across the chest of Jadeite! They are battling back and forth now. Anna with another chop to the chest of Jadeite but she just yells at Anna and tells her to bring it on! Jadeite does just that with another chop but it has no effect as Anna grabs Jadeite by the neck and tosses her across the ring aggressively! Jadeite goes flying across the ring and pulls herself up in the corner only to eat a running Splash from Anna into the corner!

Deadprez: Anna Murray is rolling and looking to really cement her place here in EAW on the Showdown brand and looks well on her way to a victory over Jadeite! But Jadeite suddenly fires out of the corner and tackles Anna down to the mat! Jadeite begins unloading with straight punches to the head of Anna! Jadeite has snapped and she is aggressively assaulting the opposition! Jadeite is taking out all of that pent up aggression that she has had within her since the loss at Reasonable Doubt!

Gavin Kirkland: Anna Murray tosses Jadeite off her and Jadeite immediately hammers her into the corner with a Running Forearm. Jadeite then grabs the head of Anna and yanks her back into the ring and connects with a kick to the gut. Jadeite hooks the arms and then drops Anna face first with a Double Underhook Facebuster! That could be it as Jadeite flips Anna over and covers her for the pin!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Eve: But Anna Murray gets her foot on the bottom rope! The referee almost missed it but saw it in time before counting three! Jadeite immediately grabs the arm of Anna as she tries to pull herself back up and slams the arm down hard across the top rope. The arm ricochets backwards and comes back in towards Jadeite who yanks Anna down into a Crippler Crossface. Anna manages to roll out of it back up to her feet. But Jadeite charges in with a Running Shoulder Block sending Anna flying with force across the ring. Anna flips backwards into the corner and pulls herself up slowly. She puts her hands up trying to cause a break but Jadeite just pulls her arm in and drops her with an Armbreaker. Jadeite twists the arm of Anna around but Anna rolls through it and manages to twist Jadeite around into an Abdominal Stretch! Anna falls backwards in the Abdominal Stretch and pulls Jadeite’s shoulders to the mat!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Deadprez: Jadeite manages to kick out just in time! That was a close one there but it looks like it only served to piss Jadeite off! Jadeite gets back up and slugs Anna hard right in the jaw before lifting her up and slamming her down with a Running Powerslam. Jadeite to the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Eve: But Anna Murray with another kickout! Anna rolls back up but Jadeite grabs her around the waist and begins to squeeze the life out of her with a Bearhug. We don’t see those too often this is some real old school type wrestling. But Anna bashes the head of Jadeite with her elbow eventually forcing the break. They both get back into it exchanging strikes before Jadeite charges in with a Running Lariat! But Anna tosses Jadeite backwards and she flies up into the air before crashing down hard onto her back. Jadeite pulls herself up in the corner as Anna rushes in-

Deadprez: But Jadeite moves out of the way! Jadeite goes around behind Anna and throws hers backwards with a Bridging German Suplex! Jadeite for the win!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Gavin Kirkland: No! Another kickout from Anna! I thought that was it for sure!

Eve: I don’t believe you. Anna definitely wasn’t going to stay down from just that. She gets back up and a Spinning Back Elbow from Jadeite aims for Anna’s jaw! But Anna ducks it! Anna off the ropes and runs up on Jadeite with a Legscissors around her midsection! Anna pulls Jadeite down before grabbing her legs and twisting her into a Figure 4 Leglock! But Jadeite kicks Anna away from her. They get back up and charge in at each other once again!

Deadprez: Jadeite slams into Anna with a Missile Dropkick sending her into the ropes. Anna tumbles out of the ring collapsing to the outside. The referee pushes Jadeite back as she tries to leave the ring and begins the count.

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

Eve: Anna Murray is getting back up outside the ring and slowly pulls herself back up to the apron-

Deadprez: But Jadeite shoves past the referee as she ends the count and grabs the head of Anna whipping her into the ring the hard way! Jadeite runs off the ropes as Anna sits up. RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE HEAD!!!-

Gavin Kirkland: No! Anna ducks under it! Anna grabs Jadeite from behind! School Girl rollup! For the steal!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Eve: What the hell Gavin. She clearly kicked out before two…

Gavin Kirkland: My bad I got too excited…

Deadprez: Well the match is continuing on and Jadeite is not taking kindly to that attempt at stealing the match by Anna Murray. Jadeite rushes in on Anna and drops her with a Superkick. Jadeite then comes off the ropes and leaps on top of the throat of Anna with a Guillotine leg drop. And now it looks like Jadeite is twisting Anna around into the Sasori-gatame! Anna is flipped over and she might have no choice but to tap out! Anna is flipped! She shakes her head desperately reaching out for the bottom rope! But can she make it?!?!

Eve: She does! Anna makes it to the bottom rope and Jadeite is pissed! The referee is telling Jadeite that she needs to release the hold but she is refusing! She is being counted off by the referee now.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF HER RIGHT THIS INSTANT!

Deadprez: Jadeite doesn’t want to get disqualified so she releases the hold. But Jadeite immediately grabs the leg of Anna and yanks her away from the ropes. Jadeite is not done! She slams her knee hard into the face of Anna before picking her up. Jadeite drops Anna down with the Northern Lights Bomb! Anna is not moving! This is done! But Jadeite is not going for the cover!

Eve: Jadeite picks up Anna Murray and signals to the crowd that this is the end! The crowd is hyped up as Jadeite goes for her finishing maneuver!

Deadprez: OHIRUME NO MUCHI!!! SHE GOT ALL OF IT!

Eve: What a move! Jadeite goes in for the cover on Anna and this one is over!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!-

Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… JADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEITE!!!!!!

(‘Oro de Ley’ by Luis Miguel hits to cheers from the crowd as Jadeite has her arm raised by the referee.)

Eve: Big win by Jadeite here tonight! She has more than redeemed herself from the unfortunate loss at Reasonable Doubt!

Deadprez: Definitely a great way to get back on track. Anna Murphy was completely outmatched out there. She is definitely going to have to step it up next time to avoid getting completely massacred like she just did.

Gavin Kirkland: Always good to see the great women’s division here on Showdown in action. Now if only I could get in on that actio-

Eve: Definitely not going to happen. Just watch the match and do commentary my professional colleague.

Gavin Kirkland: The struggle is real.

(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring a Twitter meltdown after a recent EAW biopic about the life of Y2Impact announced his character would be played by Mahershala Ali.)

(The camera cuts to the backstage area where we see Nikki Kimura walking through the halls with a definite purpose. She opens a door to peek her head in and she doesn’t find what… or who… she is looking for as she continues down the hall.)

Nikki Kimura: Alright, that asshole has got to be around here somewhere. If Donovan, Harper, and Ronan are here then that means that the son of a bitch isn’t too far behind. When I find you–

(Her statement gets cut off by her thoughts as she opens another door and peeks her head in. Her statement before has made it obvious to the world that she is looking for Silas Mason… the man who was the cause of her no longer being the Specialists Champion. Once again, she did not find Silas Mason as she continues on her trek.)

Nikki Kimura: That bastard can only run and hide for so long. The moment I find him, I am going to make sure that he regrets everything he ever did as I wrap my hands around 

(As Nikki is making her way through the backstage area, she passes by a Showdown banner, and Kyra Phillips… who was standing by the banner… has a microphone in hand as she quickly catches up to Nikki.)

Kyra Phillips: Nikki. Nikki Kimura. Do you have a moment to spare for a quick interview?

(Nikki stops in her tracks as she looks at Kyra. Nikki would prefer not to do the interview because she wants to find and beat the hell out of Silas, but she decides that she might need a small break from the search. Nikki gives a small smile and nods her head.)

Nikki Kimura: Sure. Why not? Ask away.

(Kyra returns the smile with a smile of her own as she takes a brief second to catch her breath from quickly catching up to Nikki  before she asks her first question.)

Kyra Phillips: This might be a very redundant question, but I wanted to get your feelings about everything that went down last week at Reasonable Doubt. Do you have any words about Reasonable Doubt?

Nikki Kimura: Oh I have plenty of words regarding Reasonable Doubt and none of them are very appropriate, but let me answer your question with a question. Do you see the Specialists Championship belt on my shoulder or around my waist?

Kyra Phillips: No. No I don’t.

Nikki Kimura: That’s honestly all I really need to say regarding Reasonable Doubt considering everything, but I know that you and the world probably want a little more elaboration about what I mean, right?

Kyra Phillips: Yeah. You’re right.

Nikki Kimura: I kind of figured. I supposed that I would feel the same if I was on the outside looking in. That’s kind of how I feel right now considering everything that went down.

Kyra Phillips: Meaning?

Nikki Kimura: I mean my business relationship between myself and Silas Mason. I guess now it’s my former business relationship between myself and Silas Mason. Sure, things were a little rocky between us the last few weeks, but I thought Silas would take it as a compliment that I was becoming a little independent and making decisions on my own because it would show that his teachings were helping me become a better competitor and a better overall Champion.

(Nikki stops for a second to compose herself because the anger she is feeling is starting to build up again. Nikki takes a deep breath before continuing to speak.)

Nikki Kimura: I guess I was wrong.

Kyra Phillips: Unfortunately, maybe your hopes were a little misguided because we all saw how the match against Brianna Hill went as Silas Mason was a huge factor in how Brianna Hill won the match and became the new Specialists Champion.

Nikki Kimura: No need to play things down or sugarcoat anything for me, Kyra. Silas Mason wasn’t just a “huge factor”. Silas Mason was the MAIN REASON that Reasonable Doubt turned into a horrible disaster for me. Silas MASON is the reason why I am no longer the Specialists Champion and that bitch Brianna Hill has the Specialists Championship instead of me. SILAS MASON is the reason why I am extremely pissed off right now to the point where I want to reach inside his chest and rip his beating heart out. Then again, he’d have to have a heart for that to be possible.

Kyra Phillips: Such powerful words coming from you, Nikki. Another redundant question, but would it be safe to say that the business relationship between you and Silas Mason is officially over.

Nikki Kimura: A little redundant, yes, but people don’t like to assume anything until somebody says something about it. Since Silas doesn’t have the balls to say it himself, I’ll be the bigger person and say it. It’s over. It was over the moment Gina Romano announced Brianna Hill as the new Specialists Champion.

Kyra Phillips: Do you believe that the moment things decided to go south with your relationship with Silas was when you accepted the challenge from Brianna Hill with the title on the line?

Nikki Kimura: I can’t think of another time that it could have been and if that was the exact moment, it just shows how petty of a man Silas Mason is. Silas Mason screwed me over when he was supposed to be my manager. I trusted him to help me continue my reign as Specialists Champion and he betrayed me.

(Nikki shakes her head not in anger, but almost in disappointment with how things turned out.)

Nikki Kimura: Now Silas has this “Silas World” thing going on. As I was his first client, I naturally thought that I would easily find my way towards being a member of the Silas World group. But now? Now that I see things the way that I do now, it’s clear more now than ever that I was never going to be a member of Silas World.

Kyra Phillips: With that being said, now that you see what Silas World has been doing the last month or so, do you consider it a blessing in disguise that you aren’t part of Silas World?

Nikki Kimura: I have thought about that and if you ask me, I think that—

(Nikki was close to answering Kyra’s question, but she is cut off by the sight of Silas Mason coming into view and standing on the other side of Kyra. When Silas appears, the crowd immediately starts to boo and they are booing so loudly that there is no doubt that Silas couldn’t hear the reaction… not that he really cares.)

Silas Mason: Rumor around the backstage area is that you have been looking for me.

Nikki Kimura: The rumors are true. What the hell was that last week? 

Silas Mason: Oh come on, Nikki. No need for such hostility. I understand why you are a little bit angry.

(Nikki steps up and gets face to face with Silas. Silas, to many people’s surprise, has not backed down or backed up from a clearly angry Nikki. Nikki has fire in her eyes as she addresses her former manager.)

Nikki Kimura: You understand ZILCH! You fucking screwed me over and you owe me a fucking explanation. It’s the least you can fucking do. You screwed me out of my title and you better fucking tell me why, you gutless bastard.

(Silas, showing how heartless he truly is, actually looks at Nikki’s anger with a smile on his face. That only makes Nikki even more angry with Silas. Silas puts his hands up in “peace” as he answers Nikki’s question.)

Silas Mason: You are right about one thing. One person does deserve the blame. But I shouldn’t be the one with the blame. The blame belongs to somebody else AND THAT’S YOU, NIKKI!

Nikki Kimura: I deserve the blame? Why the fuck did I deserve the blame?

Silas Mason: Nikki. As my client, all you had to do in order to stay successful was to just LISTEN! All you had to do was listen to me, Nikki. All you had to do was listen to me and I would take care of the rest. All you had to do was just let me drive the bus and you would have been fine.

Nikki Kimura: Would I have?

Silas Mason: You would have. But you chose to do more than listen and look at where you’re at now. The honor of being called a FORMER Champion.

(That comment took Nikki off guard for a second before she shakes it off and steps up once again to Silas.)

Silas Mason: You’re a bastard and you will pay dearly for what you did to me. I hope you realize that.

(Silas looks at Nikki for a brief second before giving her a very devilish grin before simply walking away. The final shot shows Nikki staring off in the direction that Silas walked looking completely furious at her former manager as the camera cuts elsewhere.)

(The camera then cuts to another part of the backstage area. It’s actually peaceful and quiet for the moment, but the moment is quickly ruined as we hear a commotion going on in the backstage area.)

?????: IT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!

(CRASH!)

?????: I WAS ROBBED!

(CRASH!)

?????: WHERE’S THE FUCKING JUSTICE!

(CRASH!)

(After the last crash, the camera person runs over to the site of where all the chaos is going down. The closer they get, the louder the screams get. When the camera gets to the site, we aren’t surprised to see that it is Miku Sakai throwing a fit… presumably about what happened at Reasonable Doubt. The camera person is keeping their distance as we see random items thrown around on the floor.)

Miku Sakai: I don’t believe this. I seriously don’t believe what the fuck just happened. I mean how in the fuck? Why in the fuck? WHO IN THE FUCK?

(As Miku is having a breakdown, we see Mikaela Street come into view with a microphone in hand as she slowly approaches Miku.)

Mikaela Street: Umm… Ummm…. Miku?

(Michaela manages to get Miku’s attention as Miku quickly turns around and glares at Mikaela wondering what she wants.)

Miku Sakai: What in the fuck do you want, bitch? 

(Mikaela takes a small gulp and a small step back as she doesn’t wanna be next in Miku’s rampage. After a moment of awkward staring, Mikaela is able to find her voice to answer Miku’s question.)

Mikaela Street: Mi… Miku. I am so sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had a few moments to spare for me to ask you a few questions. Would that be alright with you?

(Miku glares at Mikaela before eventually rolling her eyes at the thought and answering Mikaela.)

Miku Sakai: SURE! WHY NOT? IT’S NOT LIKE I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO! Alright, let’s get this shit over with.

(Mikaela takes a deep breath and takes a few steps closer to Miku and brings up the microphone before she asks her first question.)

Mikaela Street: Alright then. Well, Miku. My first question for you is that I was wondering if you had anything to say about Reasonable Doubt?

Miku Sakai: Well I see you’re not a complete moron because I have a hell of a lot to say about Reasonable Doubt because Reasonable Doubt was a fucking DISASTER! It was an entire crock of shit. Utter. Fucking. BULLSHIT!

Mikaela Street: Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by Reasonable Doubt being a disaster, Miku?

(Miku is breathing very deep as she looks dangerously close to grabbing something and hitting Mikaela with it. But she is able to keep her temper in check at least for a few moments longer.)

Miku Sakai: Did I win last week? Did you see my arm raised in victory? Do you see the National Elite Championship belt on my shoulder? Of course you fucking don’t because so many fucking things have conspired against me and stopped me from fucking winning the title again. IT FUCKING MAKES BY BLOOD BOIL THAT I COULD JUST SCREAM!

(She doesn’t scream, but she does grab a glass pitcher that was used by the catering staff AND SHE HURLS IT RIGHT IN MIKAELA’S DIRECTION! Mikaela was able to duck the pitcher at the last second as we hear the glass breaking in the distance.)

Miku Sakai: That match was MINE! That title was MINE! I had it in the palm of my hand, but of course that little fucker Cody Maverick hit a fucking ass lucky move to try a pin on me and then the fucking referee counted so fucking fast that I couldn’t tell that a count was being made. ALL A WAY TO CONSPIRE AGAINST ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO SEE ME AS THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!

Mikaela Street: Well allow me to say that I sincerely apologize that Reasonable Doubt didn’t go your way, Miku. 

Miku Sakai: Things rarely ever fucking go my way. Story of my fucking life. Dumbasses around here just don’t wanna see me be successful. Fucking idiots.

Mikaela Street: I can understand your frustration, but at Reasonable Doubt, you were the one who was pi—

(Miku cuts off Mikaela by putting her fist about an inch away from Mikaela’s face.)

Miku Sakai: You finish that fucking sentence and it will be the last sentence you will ever say.

(Mikaela nods her head and Miku brings her fist away from Mikaela’s face before punching the table next to her and actually cracking the table with the force of the punch.)

Mikaela Street: Understood. So how about we just change the subject. Well… now that Reasonable Doubt has come and gone, my next question is this. What exactly is next for Miku Sakai?

(Miku was caught off guard by the question and that did NOT sit well with Miku. Miku once again glares at Mikaela before she answers her question.)

Miku Sakai: Up until now, your questions have been fucking annoying. That question right there was just fucking stupid. What the hell do you mean what is next for Miku Sakai? What’s next for me is the same thing that it has been since gawd knows how long. Do you know what that is, bitch?

(Mikaela goes to answer Miku’s question, but she is immediately cut off by Miku.)

Miku Sakai: Oh don’t even bother. You’ll probably get it fucking wrong anyways. What’s next for Miku Sakai is GOLD! Championship fucking gold. Do you wanna know something, bitch?

(Mikaela goes to answer Miku again, but once again, she is cut off by Miku.)

Miku Sakai: Did you know that it has been over three years since I last had any sort of Championship gold? 2021 was the last fucking time that I held a Championship. I have been patient. I have been VERY patient. I have shown more patience in the last three years than a person should have ever had to show. 

Mikaela Street: But what about the people who have been waiting even longer to even get their first taste of championship gold?

(Miku grabs something off the table that she punched earlier and throws it in Mikaela’s direction. Mikaela again gets out of the way of the flying items as Miku is clawing the table in anger.)

Miku Sakai: Who the fuck cares about the rest of those losers. I am talking about ME! I am in a league of my own. A much higher level that all those “patient” losers can only dream about. So listen to me right now. Actually I want all these dumb fucks to hear what I have to say. Come here, bitch. NOW!

(Mikaela nods in understanding as she gets closer to Miku and brings the microphone closer to Miku.)

Miku Sakai: I am DONE being patient. I am TIRED of waiting around for Championship gold to come my way. Shit I was ready to be the National Elite Champion last week. Did that happen? Of course it fucking didn’t. Why? Because I am always getting screwed when a match should be one on one. So I am making a vow right here and right now!

Mikaela Street: What is your vow, Miku?

Miku Sakai: Before this season ends, I vow that I am going to become Champion again. One way or another, I am going to be holding Championship gold one way or another because I am so sick and tired of leaving event after event empty handed. I am sick of it. I am fed up with it. I HAVE HAD IT! I SHOULD BE CHAMPION RIGHT NOW INSTEAD OF THAT ASSHOLE CODY MAVERICK! THAT LITTLE SON OF A B—

(Miku starts screaming and cussing up a storm as she starts grabbing anything that wasn’t bolted down and she is throwing them all around the backstage area. Michaela is keeping her distance or else she was going to get hit with something, but she was going to try her best to de-escalate the situation.)

Mikaela Street: There is no doubt that you will be champion again, Miku. Calm down and you can—

(Before Mikeala could finish the sentence, Miku glares at Mikaela.)

Miku Sakai: SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH! AND FUCK EVERYBODY WHO HAS TRIED TO SCREW ME OVER!

(Miku grabs a glass mirror that was sitting on the table and she smashes it across the table as shards fly everywhere. Miku looks pissed as she storms away. Seconds later, we see SOSA Henderson walk up to the scene as he looks around at all the chaos Miku has caused before he stands next to Mikaela. Mikaela looks at SOSA and gives a smile before bringing up the microphone to SOSA.)

SOSA Henderson: Wow that bitch is loud. Honestly, I don’t see why in the hell she is so pissed off. I’m the one who lost the title. Her dumbass got pinned and it cost me my title, but she is the one who is pissed. Make that make sense.

Mikaela Street: I am just going to skip all of that for right now. But since you are here, SOSA. Do you have anything to say, SOSA?

SOSA Henderson: Of course I do. I am a big enough person to congratulate Cody Maverick on winning the National Elite Championship. That’s why I am going to put you on notice now, Cody. I guarantee to you here and now that I am coming after the National Elite Championship again. We WILL be running it back again. I guarantee it.

(The final shot shows SOSA pointing at the camera before walking away leaving Mikaela alone. Mikaela just looks at the camera and shrugs before the camera cuts to the ring for the next match.)

(“Genie In A Bottle” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speakers, the reaction being raging from mixed to negative as Grace De Luca comes out with confidence in her step, turning around towards the crowd and showing a happy grin on her face, spreading her arms out and then walking down the ramp with conviction.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS, SHE IS “THE PARADIGM OF PERFECTION”, GRACEEEEE DE LUCAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 (“PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE” by Peso Pluma and Cardi B plays on the speakers, the crowd booing in response as Roberto de la Rosa comes out with actual confidence to himself, nodding along and mocking the crowd, acting very non-chalant as he walks down the ramp.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM HIDALGO MEXICO, WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS, HE IS “EL PADRINO” ROBERTOOOO DE LA ROSAAAAA!!

DING! DING! DING!

Gavin Kirkland: We are about to witness an exciting match, folks! Grace De Luca against Roberto De La Rosa! These two are about to go at it, and you can feel the tension in the air. The bell rings, and here we go!

Eve: Roberto’s definitely looking to make a statement tonight, and with his background, he has the aggression to back it up. Meanwhile, Grace is known for playing dirty and cutting corners whenever she gets the chance. This could get ugly fast.

Deadprez: I’m all for a good fight, but when you’ve got someone like Grace in the ring, you never know what kind of underhanded tactics she’ll pull out. I’m just waiting for her to show her true colors.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto starts this one with a clear confidence. He charges right at Grace, but she’s already looking to get away from him! Grace quickly ducks out of the way, trying to avoid a lock-up! Roberto’s clearly the aggressor here, but Grace is more than ready to be a slippery little heel.

Eve: Grace can’t keep running forever. Eventually, Roberto is going to catch her, and when that happens, he’ll probably make her pay for all that running.

Deadprez: That’s the thing with Grace. She’s a master at playing the game, but eventually, the momentum shifts, and it’s a lot harder to avoid that beatdown.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto advances again— but Grace ducks through the ropes to the outside of the ring! She’s stalling already. Roberto is trying to follow, but Grace is playing this smart… or at least smart for someone who doesn’t mind taking the cheap way out!

Eve: Smart? More cowardly. This is why I can’t stand people like Grace. She could be good if she didn’t hide behind her cheap tactics all the time.

Deadprez: Sometimes, it’s not about being liked, Eve. It’s about getting results. If Grace wins, she doesn’t care how it looks.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s had enough, though! He doesn’t want to play this game! He’s stalking Grace now, who’s pacing outside the ring— and THERE IT IS! Roberto runs and dives through the ropes with a SUICIDE DIVE! He crashes into Grace, and now both of them are on the floor!

Eve: And that’s what Grace gets! Roberto’s not playing around! He just hit her with one of the most dangerous moves in the book, and she’s feeling it now.

Deadprez: Roberto was definitely looking to make an impact, and he did just that. Grace looks like she’s regretting those evasions now.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto slowly pulls Grace up, throwing her back into the ring. He follows in after her, taking control of the pace of the match now. Grace is rolling, but Roberto’s not giving her a second to breathe. He picks her up— but Grace strikes with a sharp rake to the eyes! A cheap shot right there!

Eve: And there it is! The dirty tactics are now in play and Grace is back on her feet now, and she’s trying to shift the momentum.

Deadprez: Smart, but dirty. Roberto’s been on fire so far, but this could buy Grace the time she needs to turn things around.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace throws a quick knee to Roberto’s midsection, followed by a nasty chop to the chest that echoes throughout the arena! Grace might be smaller but she sure got some strength behind her. She’s definitely trying to slow him down, but Roberto’s not going down that easily.

Eve: I don’t think Grace has enough to keep Roberto down for long. He’s built for this kind of fight.

Deadprez: She’s gonna try though, that’s for sure. She’s not above bending the rules.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace whips Roberto into the corner, but he rebounds off it quickly— Roberto catches Grace with a BIG BOOT! Grace stumbles backward, and Roberto follows up with an EARLY SPEAR— BUT HE MISSES! He almost cut her in half right there!

Eve: Grace is lucky that wasn’t the end of it. Roberto’s relentless. I don’t think he’s letting up anytime soon.

Deadprez: Grace might need to rethink her strategy now. She can’t rely on her cheap tricks if Roberto keeps hitting her that hard. Especially when he is the aggressive, charging 

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s looking for something big here. He lifts Grace up for what looks like a POWERBOMB! But wait— Grace elbows him in the head! Another shot! And now she’s wriggling free— she lands behind Roberto— GRACE WITH A LOW BLOW! Right to the groin! And the ref didn’t see it!

Eve: And there we go. Just when you thought she might actually fight fair! Low blow out of nowhere!

Deadprez: You can’t blame her for taking advantage. Sometimes, you’ve got to do what you can to survive in that ring.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace is now stomping on Roberto, not even letting him get a second to recover! She’s going on full on offense, and I gotta say, she’s doing a good job of it right now! Roberto can’t even get his bearings.

Eve: Well, it’s not exactly what I’d call impressive, but it’s working for her— for now. Grace now trying for a quick pin attempt!

ONE!

Deadprez: A quick kick out but Roberto’s still hurt, though. That low blow was a game-changer. If Grace keeps applying that pressure, she could make him pay for all the damage he’s done so far.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace is now pulling Roberto into the corner. She’s got him set up for something— NO! Roberto with a HEADBUTT! And another! And now— Roberto lifts her— BACK SUPLEX! Grace crashes down hard, and Roberto is starting to get his second wind!

Eve: This could be it! Roberto’s on fire right now, and Grace is reeling.

Deadprez: If Grace doesn’t find a way out of this soon, it could all be over for her.

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s stalking Grace now, waiting for her to get back up. He’s ready for something big— and there it is! A CLUBBING FOREARM to the back of her head! Grace staggers forward, holding her neck— and now Roberto— HE’S GOING FOR IT! HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE “CALLING CARD” PILEDRIVER!

Eve: If he hits this, Grace might not be able to recover!!

Deadprez: This is the moment for Roberto. He’s looking to end this, folks, but Grace is scrambling! She’s desperately trying to wriggle free! Roberto’s got her locked in tight— but Grace starts kicking at his face! The heels of her boots blinding Roberto, now she has a chance to get out of it! It’s not pretty, but if Grace gets the win, she won’t care how it happens. She’ll do whatever it takes to avoid a beatdown.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace uses the moment to shove Roberto back into the corner, and now she’s landing hard, vicious CHOPS to his chest— but Roberto is still standing tall! He’s not buckling under the pressure! He swats her arms away! Grace is scared now, trying to back away from Roberto! HE BEGINS TO CHARGE LOOKING FOR THE SPEAR AGAIN— BUT GRACE ONCE AGAIN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Roberto crashes shoulder-first into the turnbuckle!

Eve: Roberto might’ve just miscalculated there. Grace is back in control, and that’s the opening she needed to regain her advantage.

Deadprez: This match is so back and forth, it’s hard to tell who’s really in control. Grace gets these tiny windows of opportunity, and then she takes full advantage of them.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace pulls Roberto out of the corner, looking to capitalize on his mistake. She spins him around and hits him with a brutal FACEBUSTER! She flips him over and follows up with a STOMP to the chest! She’s trying to keep him down now, making sure he can’t get back up again! Now going for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!!

Eve: Kick out by Roberto! This is the Grace De Luca we know as been seeing, the short time she has been here. Ruthless and calculating. She’s not letting Roberto breathe for a second. She knows she has to wear him down, keep the pressure on him, and just hope that he’s too exhausted to fight back.

Deadprez: Grace is definitely showing off her ability to take advantage of an opening, but Roberto’s not out of it yet. If he can find a way to fight through this, he could easily turn it around. He’s just gotta power through.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace now with a handful of Roberto’s hair, dragging him up to his feet— she sets him up— NECKBREAKER! Grace drops him hard on his neck, and now she hooks the leg for a pin! Grace isn’t wasting any time trying to finish it here!

ONE!

Eve: But Roberto’s shoulders are up right away! He’s not staying down that easily!

Deadprez: Roberto’s tough as nails. That neckbreaker hit hard, but he’s still in this fight. Grace might want to reconsider trying to end it so quickly, though— that’s a dangerous game when you’re up against someone like Roberto.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace clearly frustrated now, as she pulls Roberto back to his feet once again— but Roberto’s fighting back with those STRIKES! He’s throwing wild punches, landing a right hand to Grace’s jaw! Another shot to her ribs— AND NOW HE GRABS HER! ROBERTO WITH A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE GERMAN SUPLEX! Grace goes flying across the ring!

Eve: That’s the kind of power Roberto has in his arsenal! Grace had no idea that was coming! You could see the shock on her face after that move.

Deadprez: That’s a turning point, no doubt about it. Roberto’s showing why you don’t mess with him when he’s pissed off. Grace might’ve slowed him down a little, but he’s just getting started now!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s shaking off the cobwebs, but Grace is in trouble! She’s trying to crawl to the ropes, but Roberto’s not letting up! He’s right on her! He pulls her away— and now he’s got her up for another big move! He lifts her high with a MILITARY PRESS— but Grace wiggles free! She lands behind him! Kicks him in the back of the knee— AND DROPS HIM WITH A DDT!

Eve: Grace will take any chance she can get to create some space. Roberto had the advantage, but now Grace is back on top and she’s not wasting a second. Look at her go, stomping on his limbs to keep him down!

Deadprez: She’s relentless. It’s like a whole different side of Grace when she has her opponent in trouble. She doesn’t let them off the hook once she’s got control.

Gavin Kirkland: Grace now trying to lock in a submission! She’s got Roberto’s arm twisted up— looking for an ARM BAR! She’s wrenching back on it, trying to force him to tap out!

Eve: This is dangerous for Roberto. If Grace locks this in properly, there’s a good chance he won’t be able to escape. But if anyone can power out of a hold like this, it’s him.

Deadprez: He’s fighting it, though! Roberto’s using his free arm to push up from the mat— but Grace is pulling harder! He’s in serious pain right now!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto’s trying to crawl toward the ropes, dragging himself inch by inch, but Grace isn’t letting up. She’s pulling back, trying to break him down— but Roberto is so close! One more stretch and he’ll reach the ropes!

Eve: This is a critical moment. If Roberto can just make it, he’ll force a break. If he doesn’t, though, he could be in big trouble.

Deadprez: He’s almost there… just a little more, Roberto! You’ve got this!

Gavin Kirkland: And there it is! Roberto grabs the ropes! The ref calls for the break! Grace is furious, but she has no choice but to release the hold!

Eve: Grace is seething right now, and I can’t blame her. She had the submission locked in, but Roberto just refused to quit. He’s got heart— but Grace isn’t finished yet. You can feel her waiting for her next chance.

Deadprez: And that chance could come any second. Grace is crafty, and you know she’s got something up her sleeve. This match isn’t over yet.

Gavin Kirkland: Both competitors are showing signs of exhaustion, but neither one is backing down. The tension is thick in the air! Grace, now pulling Roberto to his feet— BUT ROBERTO WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF GRACE!  

Gavin Kirkland: It looks like Roberto’s catching Grace off guard with that kick to the gut, folks! He’s got Grace exactly where he wants her— MEXICAN DESTROYER!!! He drives her into the mat with all his power, and that could be it! Grace is out cold! Here we go Roberto covers! 

ONE! 

TWO!!

THREE!!!

DING! DING! DING!

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… “EL PADRINO” ROBERTOOOO DE LA ROSAAAAA!!

Eve: That’s it! It’s over! Roberto De La Rosa picks up the win! He fought through everything Grace tried, and in the end, he came out on top!

Deadprez: What a match! Roberto kept his cool, even when Grace tried everything to avoid a beating. He’s earned that victory tonight.

Gavin Kirkland: But wait— look at Grace! She’s up already, and she’s absolutely furious! She’s complaining, arguing with the referee!

Grace De Luca (off mic): THIS IS UNFAIR! I KICKED OUT! MY SHOULDER WAS UP! MY SHOULDER WAS UP LOOK AT THE REPLAY!

Referee (off mic): I was right there, I say both your shoulders were down! I’m sorry but you lost, not much I can do about that.

( Grace began to stomp her feet and throwing a fit, pushing the referee and continuing to scream at him. )

Grace De Luca (off mic): YOU’RE A BLIND PIECE OF SHIT! YOU’RE A BLIND PIECE OF SHIT AND I HATE YOU! GET OUT OF MY WAY!

( Grace pushes the referee out of her way and the camera catches tears running down her face, she angrily turns to the camera and shoves it away! )

Grace De Luca: LEAVE ME ALONE! 

( The scene fades on Grace walking up the ramp. )

(The camera shot cuts to the backstage area where Kyra Phillips is standing in front of a beautiful Showdown banner. Kyra has a smile on her face before she begins to speak.)

Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight has been an amazing night thus far with all the action and the fallout from the Reasonable Doubt event. As we speak about Reasonable Doubt, we can’t forget about one of the special matches and I am talking about the special five way TLC Match for a very Unique Opportunity. 

Kyra Phillips: All the competitors brought their all for the sake of winning the Unique Opportunity and my guest at this time was the competitor who fought the odds and left with the victory. She just recently returned to Saturday Night Showdown and got right down to business. So please welcome at this time, Auburn Ware!

(The camera shot widens a little bit to show Auburn Ware now standing next to Kyra with a smile on her face. In the background, we can hear the crowd cheering even louder with Auburn’s appearance. I think Auburn has a feeling about the crowd’s reaction as the smile on her face gets a little bigger as Kyra starts to speak again.)

Kyra Phillips: Auburn, thank you for being able to join me at this time.

Auburn Ware: Thank you, Kyra. It’s a pleasure to be here.

Kyra Phillips: Also, allow me to congratulate you on such a hard fought victory at Reasonable Doubt especially since you just returned to Showdown only a few weeks ago.

Auburn Ware: Let me tell you, Kyra, that I am so excited to be back on Showdown and to pick up where I left off on the Blue Brand and what a way to get started by winning a Unique Opportunity.

Kyra Phillips: What a big victory it was considering you were in the ring with four of the up and coming stars of Showdown. Now during the match, we all saw a little bit of funny business going on during the match, but that certainly didn’t stop you from pulling through.

Auburn Ware: Yeah there was a lot of funny business, controversy, and stupidity that was going on during that match. As far as I am concerned, whatever stupid that happened in that match was their own fault.

Kyra Phillips: What exactly do you mean by that, Auburn?

Auburn Ware: What I mean is that everybody knew that I was going to win this match before the match even started and especially before they started playing with the control of the title to make sure that I couldn’t reach it. Honestly, I was such an overwhelming favorite in the match that my opponents, some more in particular than others, were looking for any trick in the book that they could in order to prevent me from winning the match and taking that Unique Opportunity for myself. Now that didn’t work, did it Kyra?

Kyra Phillips: It certainly didn’t. Their deceitful ways came back to haunt them. 

Auburn Ware: Exactly! And that’s exactly why they all received the karma they deserve for trying to play dirty.

Kyra Phillips: Their dirty tactics did come back to haunt them as they all left Reasonable Doubt empty. Unlike you, Auburn. After the leveling of the playing field, you climbed the ladder of success and got that Unique Opportunity. My next question to you, Auburn, is do you know what your Unique Opportunity is?

(Auburn looks at Kyra and simply shrugs and shakes her head in the negative before she answers Kyra’s question.)

Auburn Ware: I hate to disappoint anybody, yourself and the fans included, who were hoping to find out what my opportunity was going to be. Unfortunately, I do not know what my Unique Opportunity will be at this time.

Kyra Phillips: Auburn, since you have no idea what your opportunity is going to be at the present time, let me ask a different question. Is there anything in particular that you are hoping that your opportunity is going to be?

Auburn Ware: If I am being honest here… not really. I am appreciative and grateful that I won this opportunity and, to be quite frank, I really don’t care what the opportunity is going to be as long as I get something out of it.

Kyra Phillips: Well that is certainly a good way to look at it and I hope that whatever the opportunity is that is extremely beneficial for you and your car—-

(Before Kyra could finish her sentence, a loud voice not too far away from the interview completely cuts Kyra off.)

???: Did you see that awful officiating out there!?

(Kyra and Auburn look around wondering who in the world it could be until we see Grace De Luca come up and stand on the other side of Kyra as the crowd immediately starts to boo her. Grace is still in her wrestling gear as she just had a match just moments ago, but she still has this “I’m better than you” smile on her face as she starts to speak.)

Grace De Luca: Sorry about that. I was just heading back to the locker room and couldn’t help overhearing you talk. It was annoying, by the way.

Auburn Ware: Can I help you with something?

Grace De Luca: AWWWWWWWWWWW! Isn’t that just so precious!! Yeah, you can start off by giving that Unique Opportunity that you stole at Reasonable to me where it rightfully belongs.

Auburn Ware: Yeah… no. Not in a million years considering that I earned the opportunity fair and square last week.

(Grace starts to laugh in a way that has both Kyra and Auburn covering their ears because it sounds like nails scraping a chalkboard.)

Auburn Ware: Uhhh stop… so annoying and it is my interview time.

Grace De Luca: Aww, honey. You are so cute. Seriously! You are so precious thinking that you “earned” that opportunity. The only reason you won the opportunity was becau–

(Grace is cut off by seeing Kyra slowly start to pull the microphone away from Grace. Grace grabs Kyra’s wrist and pulls it, and the microphone, back to where they were in the first place.)

Grace De Luca: Listen, Kylie.

Kyra Phillips: It’s Kyra.

Grace De Luca: It doesn’t matter. Anyways… listen, “Kyra”. I am standing in the spot where the acoustics of this very dreary backstage are perfect for me to hear myself talk so don’t ruin it by moving away. What was I talking about again?

(Both Kyra and Auburn roll their eyes at how self centered and egotistical this Grace De Luca is.)

Auburn Ware: You were talking about the only reason why I won this opportunity.

Grace De Luca: Oh yeah. That’s right. As I was saying before you rudely interrupted me, the only reason that you won the opportunity was because myself and the rest of us were out at the production truck taking care of the idiot who was ruining things for me.

Auburn Ware: O… K…. So how in the world is that my problem?

Grace De Luca: Focus, honey. It’s your problem because you didn’t win fairly. You won by taking the easy way out and climbing that ladder while the rest of us were in the back. Way to go! Such a “noble” and “honorable” victory. But that’s ok, it really doesn’t matter in the long run considering what you did was the only way that you were going to leave Reasonable Doubt with the opportunity.

Auburn Ware: What exactly do you mean by that?

Grace De Luca: You are so precious, but your brain power being constantly late to the party is starting to get annoying, so I want you to focus on what I have to say. I’m telling you, honey, that if I was in the ring with you when everything was made fair again, you would be singing a different tune because I would have been the one who won the match and the prize. 

Auburn Ware: So that’s exactly what you think, right? If things were “fair”, you would have been the big winner last week.

Grace De Luca: Was that so hard? See what happens when you use a little brain power. That’s exactly what I was saying. With that being said… I’ll be taking my opportunity now. 

Auburn Ware: No. Not gonna happen.

Grace De Luca: Now you are just being rude and selfish. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

(Auburn looks at Grace with annoyance on her face before the annoyance turns into amusement as Auburn answers Grace.)

Auburn Ware: Fine.

Grace De Luca: Fine?

Auburn Ware: Fine! You want a match to prove that you are the better competitor and that you would have won at Reasonable Doubt? Then you got it! See you soon!

(Auburn has a smile on her face as she walks away leaving Grace looking very confused. Kyra turns her head away from Grace to stifle her laughter as Grace speaks up.)

Grace De Luca: Wait! I… I… I never asked for a match?! Huh?

(Grace walks away with extreme confusion still on her face as Kyra looks back at the camera. The final shot has Kyra simply shrugging before the camera cuts elsewhere.)

(Showdown comes back from commercials, as “Rain” by VKL plays in the speakers to some cheers from the crowd, SORN walks out with a focused expression on his face, he adjusts his ring jacket and then he walks forward, looking to prove a point tonight as he stretches his arms outwards and then he accepts some high fives from the crowd as he walks down.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM OSAKA, JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT 167 POUNDS, HE IS “THE FUTURE ACE”, SOOOOORRRRNNNNNNN!!!

Deadprez: SORN showing some motivation here walking down the ramp, he knows he has to after that loss at Reasonable Doubt in the TLC match, he can get a gigantic win here and bounce back though!

Eve: It will be his toughest challenge here yet in Showdown but it seems that SORN is not going to let that hold him back as he heads down to the ring!

(SORN finally reaches the ring and then enters, taking his own corner and waiting patiently. “Olé” by The Bouncing Souls plays on the speakers and the crowd cheers loudly as well, Ryan Wilson heads forward onto the entrance stage with a determined expression on his face, he lifts his arms up in the sky to try and get the crowd hyped up as he heads forward with a smile on his face.)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM MONTREAL, QUEBÉC, CANADA! WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS, HE IS “THE WORKHORSE”, RYAAAANNN JOSEEEEPPPHHHHH WILSOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

Deadprez: Ryan coming off of a rough loss last week against The British Invasion but it seems he is not deterred by it either, he has a lot to worry about and a lot to wonder heading forward but he is not out just yet1

Eve: Tonight will be a bounce back for either him or SORN after coming off their losses, we will just have to see who is the one that wins tonight!

(Ryan accepts some high fives as he walks down, moving quickly to jump onto the ring apron and then enter through the ropes. As Ryan finally takes his corner and everyone is ready…)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: AND WE ARE OFF TO THE RACES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

Eve: Both Ryan and SORN end up walking out of their corners with focused expression on their faces, they raise up their arms and they are seemingly going to start off the match with a normal approach to it, locking up! Ryan is trying to push forward and then get a headlock in here on SORN, but SORN is able to struggle with success and not give Ryan the opportunity to fully lock it in, as he goes behind him and then grabs onto his waist!

Deadprez: Ryan is able to put his arms around his waist first though before SORN can fully grab onto him, Ryan grabs instead onto his wrist and then flips it over, now putting SORN on a tight armwrench here! Ryan is putting some pressure on it as SORN is thinking right now on how to get out of here!

Gavin Kirkland: It seemingly doesn’t take long for him to get out of it as he rolls forward, and then rolls backward, damn, he is doing all of that flippy stuff that a lot of people complain about online!

Eve: It is a very impressive display of agility as he is able to use those skills to unwrench his arm out of Ryan’s grasp and now he flips over, grabbing onto Ryan’s arm and then trying to wrench it to the side as well, this time turning the predicament towards Ryan himself! Ryan nods slowly seeing SORN’s ability and then this time he acts, he rolls forward as well and then stretches his body backwards, showing off a little bit, before turning over and also getting out of the arm wrench!

Deadprez: Straight into a headlock from SORN himself! Now SORN tries to wrap his arms around Ryan’s neck and be able to weaken it from there, but Ryan is not letting SORN get away with this so easily! He grabs onto SORN’s waist and then he lifts him up high in the air, trying to hit him down with a back suplex!

Eve: SORN acts quickly though, letting go of the headlock as he grabs onto Ryan’s arms and hands on the way down and then he pulls him hard against the mat with the arm drag! SORN kips up to his feet and then waits for Ryan to get up… BEFORE HITTING HIM DOWN WITH A PERFECT LOOKING DROPKICK RIGHT TOWARDS HIS CHEST!

Deadprez: Ryan goes down to the mat from that one and SORN does not waste anytime to go and cover him!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWO-

Eve: Just a two count that does not end up giving much for SORN to work with, but he is not done just yet! He gets up to his feet and then waits patiently for Ryan to get up, as he runs forward towards the ropes, bouncing off them and then trying to-

Gavin Kirkland: Nothing happening over there as Ryan is able to drop down to the ground instead and force SORN to continue running forward! SORN decides to go towards the other ropes to bounce off them and then get back towards the now-standing Ryan but Ryan is able to get up in time and then pull SORN yet again into that headlock! Ryan wrenching in deep with that one and trying to go strike with strike with SORN here, trying to prove who is the better wrestler here!

Deadprez: Those few seconds of Ryan getting the advantage though did not last that long though as SORN starts walking backwards towards the ropes and then bounces off them once more, using the boost to be able to push Ryan’s arms off of his head and get out of the headlock! Ryan runs this time towards the ropes himself, bouncing back towards SORN as he jumps up… AND SORN GOES FOR ANOTHER PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK!

Eve: Lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice though, as Ryan is able to push SORN’s feet to the ground before he can fully hit the dropkick, as Ryan jumps onto the downed SORN and then pulls him to the side, going for a sudden roll-up!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: It also ends in a two count as SORN kicks out right in time! The two men scurry up to their feet, trying to be the first man to get to the punch before the other one! And Ryan this time is able to get there first, moving quickly and then hitting various punches right across SORN’S face!

Gavin Kirkland: Atta one! Atta two! And then he hits SORN back against the ropes, SORN bouncing off them a bit before getting CLOBBERED RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH THAT FRENCH CANADIAN UPPERCUT! It most likely has another name but I am not going to put myself to searching for it right now, the most I can say is that the uppercut ended up causing some damage to the young lad! 

Eve: Since when the hell do you use the word lad?

Gavin Kirkland: So I can’t expand my vocabulary now, Eve? Is this how we are going to do it now?!

Deadprez: What should you do is expand your bitches, Gavin.

Eve: :mjlol: Alright, come on now, let’s not bully each other. Okay then! SORN is now resting against the ropes and that gives Ryan a quick idea, he backs up slowly and then waits patiently for SORN to get off the ropes, Ryan backing away and then getting some distance… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND THEN TRYING TO CLOTHESLINE SORN RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH SOME FORCE TO THAT ARM!

Deadprez: Ryan putting good use to his surroundings and making sure every second counts! But despite those few seconds of having the upper-hand, SORN is still alive and well! He grabbed onto the ropes at the last second. Whiile SORN waits now for Ryan to turn towards him… AND AS HE DOES, SORN JUMPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND THEN FLIES OFF!

Gavin Kirkland: A BEAUTIFUL looking Springboard Forearm Smash from the top rope just like that, and SORN follows it up with a kip-up that gets him back up to his feet and it has the crowd cheering him on in response! He’s getting something going now!

Eve: SORN goes towards the downed Ryan Wilson and then suddenly lifts him up towards his feet, SORN even showing off a bit of strength here with that one, as he is able to lock both of Ryan’s legs… AND THEN HIT A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING SAITO SUPLEX RIGHT ONTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! REFEREE DROPS DOWN TO MAKE THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: But it is just another two count after Ryan is able to kick out of the move, SORN does not look frustrated at all and is letting his mind run wild with ideas on what to do next! He waits for Ryan to sit up now and then he runs towards the ropes, bouncing off them and then getting some speed, before moving to try and clothesline Ryan down to the mat!

Eve: Ryan is not fast enough to get out of the way and he gets slammed hard against the mat with that clothesline, SORN rolls yet again and then tries to go for another cover on him!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan is still holding on and not letting SORN get that victory over him just yet! SORN giving the fight to him here but Ryan as always, despite having things turn out against him, and for luck to not go his way, he is still going to continue getting up!

Deadprez: And Ryan continuing to get up, even though inspiring, it might as well be pretty annoying for SORN who’s job is obviously to make sure that Ryan does not get up and stays down long enough for the three count! And you better be damn sure he is getting to work now, as he grabs onto Ryan and is ready to lift him up high in the air… AS HE GOES TO LIFT RYAN UP IN THE AIR, AND THEN TRY TO BRING HIM DOWN WITH A-

Eve: WITH NOTHING! RYAN IS ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE AND PREVENT SORN FROM HITTING THE BRAINBUSTER ON HIM! Ryan delivers various elbows right on top of SORN’ head and from the pain of the blows, SORN is forced to let go and retreat for a few seconds while Ryan now has his sights set on his opponent, Ryan waiting this time and… actually not attacking, where does he plan to go with this?

Gavin Kirkland: I am also mildly confused at this because SORN recovers pretty quickly, as SORN shakes his head and then rushes towards Ryan, trying to go for another strike to take him down!

Deadprez: Ryan kept his guard up though and he ducked down under the strike at the perfect moment! SORN swings wildly and then turns around once more, trying to get towards Ryan and then deliver some damage on him, but as he rushes at him once more, Ryan goes low… AND THEN HE POPS HIM UP RIGHT ONTO THE SKY!

Eve: WOW! A NASTY LOOKING FACEBREAKER AS RYAN PUSHES HIS KNEE FORWARD AND SORN ENDS UP BEING THE ONE TO LAND HARD AGAINST IT FACE FIRST! SORN IS FULLY OUT OF IT FROM THE BAD LANDING AND RYAN IS NOT GOING TO LET THAT OPPORTUNITY GO TO WASTE AS HE GRABS ONTO SORN AND LIFTS HIM UP!

Gavin Kirkland: A FAST SWINGING NECKBREAKER IS WHAT SORN GET FOR HIS TROUBLES AND WHAT GETS HIS HEAD SLAMMED ONTO THE MAT, BUT RYAN WILSON IS NOT DONE YET, AS HE RISES UP AND GRABS ONTO SORN, GOING DOWN LOW… AND THEN HITTING HIM THIS TIME WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX THAT GETS SORN SLAMMED HARD AGAINST THE MAT! REFEREE SLIDES AND THEN GOES TO COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: But despite Ryan’s best efforts, it is not yet enough to call it quits on! Ryan sits up right next to the knocked down SORN, a thoughtful expression on his face as he himself has to wonder on what to do to make sure to get SORN down and out for the count!

Gavin Kirkland: I still do not understand why they can’t just use their strongest moves off the bat.

Eve: Dude, call it whatever you want, strongest move or not, you are not going to put down a guy for a 3 count if they are completely healed up and they have not taken enough damage, you can try your luck with knocking a guy out right cold if you just deliver the perfect strike…

Deadprez: But obviously, we are not talking about basketball or baseball players, we are talking about professional wrestlers, and the two men that are putting on a show of strength and determination, are duking it out at this very moment to be able to proclaim themselves victors of this match!

 

Gavin Kirkland: I think the two of you got slightly carried away with the analogy but even I got it, point is, YEEAAAAHH, LET’S GO GRAPS!

Eve: AND RYAN IS LOOKING FOR THAT PERFECT STRIKE RIGHT NOW, AS HE GRABS ONTO SORN AND THEN LIFTS HIM UP ALONGSIDE HIM! RYAN LOOKS TOWARDS THE CROWD AND THEN HYPES IT UP FOR A MOMENT, BEFORE HE GRABS ONTO SORN AND THEN PULLS HIM TOWARDS HIM!

Deadprez: RYAN LIFTS UP AND THEN TRIES TO GO FOR A LA BOMBE BLEU!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT DOES NOT WORK OUT! AS RYAN TRIES TO GO FOR THE POWERBOMB, ONCE HE SPINS HIM AROUND, SORN ENDS UP MOVING HIS LEGS AT THAT MOMENT!!!

Eve: SORN ENDS UP REVERSING THE BLUE THUNDERBOMB INTO A HEADSCISSORS THAT SENDS RYAN FLYING TOWARDS THE ROPES!

Deadprez: RYAN HAS BEEN IN SITUATIONS LIKE THESE BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES, AND INSTEAD OF LETTING IT FOOL HIM, RYAN IS ABLE TO TUCK HIS HEAD AND THEN ROLL FORWARD INSTEAD OF HITTING THE ROPES!

Gavin Kirkland: SORN SEES RYAN CLOSE TO THE ROPES AND HE KNOWS HE HAS TO ACT! HE RUNS FORWARD TOWARDS THE ROPES, TRYING TO MOVE FASTER THAN RYAN AS HE JUMPS ONTO THE ROPES AND THEN JUMPS OFF-

Eve: IT ONLY LEADS TO RYAN CATCHING SORN IN HIS ARMS, YET AGAIN SLAMMING SORN DOWN HARD AGAINST THE MAT OF THAT RING WITH THAT SUDDEN POWERBOMB! Ryan grabs onto SORN and then rolls him over, BEFORE DELIVERING VARIOUS BACK ELBOWS RIGHT ACROSS SORN’S FACE, TRYING HIS BEST TO WEAKEN HIM AND PREVENT SORN FROM FLYING!

Deadprez: SORN IS ABLE TO PUT HIS ARMS RIGHT ON TIME, BEING ABLE TO SUCCESFULLY BLOCK SOME OF THE ELBOW STRIKES BEING RAINED DOWN UPON HIS HEAD, BUT SOME BREAK THROUGH HIS DEFENSE AND END UP GETTING HIM SQUARE IN THE JAW AND THE NOSE!

Gavin Kirkland: This SORN guy is starting to look like a miracle worker of sorts because he is starting to figure out patterns here and there that most other wrestlers are not able to figure out on their own, and he is here giving Ryan Wilson a fight!

Eve: …Heck do you mean with patterns, now are you just fully talking out of your ass, Gavin!

Gavin Kirkland: You see Eve, figuring out the patterns is a mystery that is well known about and given to those of high intellect, and it is normal that you wouldn’t understand that kind of thing!

Deadprez: That is codeword to explain to everyone that he has not a single clue of what he is talking about, but there is indeed something better to explore as we then turn towards-

Eve: THERE SORN FINDS HIS OPENING! HE GRABS AND WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND THE UNSUSPECTING RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! HE ROLLS OVER WITH HIM AND THEN HE STARTS FIGHTING RELENTLESSLY WITH THE STRIKES!

Gavin Kirkland: You might as well bring out the stick and stones to try and break the bones of SORN! Because of that small opening that he saw, he took it! For he rolled Ryan towards the mat of the ring, and is now- TRYING TO LOCK IN A HAMMERLOCK HOLD! THAT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!

Eve: RYAN IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD IN TIME BEFORE SORN CAN LOCK IN THE HOLD ON HIM! 

Deadprez: SORN DOES NOT LET GO OF RYAN’S WRIST THOUGH, AS HE ENDS UP PULLING HIM TOWARDS HIM, SORN LEANING FORWARD AND THEN TRYING TO CATCH RYAN OFF GUARD WITH A SUDDEN ROLLING SAVATE KICK!

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO SORN’S FOOT AT THE LAST SECOND AND THE TWO MEN ARE NOW STRUGGLING PRETTY BADLY! AS RYAN IS TRYING HIS BEST TO LOCK IN HIS PATENTED SHARPSHOOTER AND FULLY END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, SORN IS NOT BUDGING AT ALL!

Eve: FINALLY, SORN IS ABLE TO MOVE HIS LEGS AROUND AND THEN PUSH RYAN TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE HE CAN FULLY LOCK IN THE SHARPSHOOTER ON HIM! RYAN LANDS HARD AGAINST THE ROPES AND THEN SORN PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, HE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES AND THEN JUMPS ONTO THE ROPE, GRABBING ONTO RYAN’S HEAD AND THEN JUMPING OFF FOR A TORNADO DDT-

Deadprez: NO, RYAN GRABS ONTO SORN AND HE IS THE ONE WHO SPINS HIM INSTEAD AS HE JUMPS OFF THE ROPES!!!

Gavin Kirkland: “LA BOMBE BLUEEEEEE!!!” RYAN IS ABLE TO HIT THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB ONTO SORN AND NOW HE GOES TO COVER, IS HE GOING TO END UP GETTING THE WIN?!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Deadprez: NO, AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND SORN IS ABLE TO KICK OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! He is showing a lot of passion right now and he is giving Ryan a fight!

Eve: Ryan nods to himself, knowing he has to bring it a step further if he needs to beat SORN! He goes to grab onto SORN and then lifts him up slowly to his feet, moving to grab onto his arms and then try to go for-

Deadprez: No! SORN is able to go below and then lift up Ryan… HITTING HIM WITH A BIG BACK BODY DROP!

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN LANDS HARD AGAINST THE MAT AND NOW SORN HAS HIS SIGHTS SET YET AGAIN, HE NEEDS TO FOCUS AND PUT RYAN AWAY WHILE HE HAS THE CHANCE!

Eve: RYAN IS PUSHING HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET AND SORN NOW RUNS FORWARD, MOVING TOWARDS THE ROPES TO JUMP ONTO THEM… AND THEN JUMP OFF!

Deadprez: SORN TAKES DOWN RYAN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! SORN IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK INTO THE MIX OF THE MATCH AND HE IS FINDING HIS GROOVE, HE JUST NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT THE LAST FEW STEPS!

Eve: RYAN IS STILL PUSHING HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET DESPITE THE PAIN THOUGH, BUT SORN ACTS QUICKLY AND THEN HE STARTS LIGHTING HIM UP AS HE GETS UP!

Gavin Kirkland: HE HITS RYAN WITH A COMBO OF VARIOUS CHOPS RIGHT TO THE CHEST, THEN AN UPPERCUT RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW BEFORE FINALLY, HITTING HIM RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH A SUPERKIIIIIICKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Eve: The crowd is cheering in response to SORN’s comeback, them being behind SORN’s side for a moment as he sees Ryan on the ground and then goes to slowly lift him up towards his feet once again, he points to the sky and he is ready to hit a strong one!

Deadprez: SORN JUMPS UP AND THEN HE GOES TO HIT THE STUN GUN ONTO RYAN!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?! RYAN PUTS HIS ARMS OUTWARD AS SORN BRINGS HIM DOWN! RYAN REVERSES THE CUTTER WITH A HANDSTAND AND SORN IS NOT ABLE TO HIT IT! RYAN DROPS DOWN AND GRABS ONTO SORN’S ARMS, GETTING HIM WITH A ROLL-UP!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: SORN IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AT THE LAST MOMENT! RYAN TRIES TO GET HIM BUT SORN INSTEAD RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, JUMPING ONTO THEM AND THEN JUMPING OFF, HE SOARS INTO THE SKY!

Deadprez: SORN TRIES TO HIT THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER!

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN TURNS OVER AND GRABS ONTO SORN’S ARMS AS HE GOES DOWN, REVERSING THE CUTTER THIS TIME INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: SORN KICKS OUT OF THAT ONE AS WELL! HE IS ABLE TO GET UP ONCE MORE AND THEN HE TRIES-

Deadprez: RYAN KICKS HIM RIGHT ON THE GUT AND LIFTS HIM UP!

Gavin Kirkland: “THE MIC DROOOOOPPPPPPPP” OUT OF NOWHERE!!! RYAN NOW CRAWLS OVER AND GOES TO COVER SORN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Olé” plays on the speakers and the crowd responds with positive cheers, Ryan rolling off of SORN and then pushing himself to his feet, letting the referee walk over to grab onto his hand and then lift it up in victory!)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, RYAAAAANNNN JOSEEEEEPPPPHHHH WILSOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!

Eve: What a match from both competitors! Even though they were very close calls and falls, Ryan was the one who was able to get that one move in at that last moment and get the win!

Deadprez: SORN yet again showing why he can be the future of the industry, but tonight, it was not his night, it was the night of Ryan Joseph Wilson once more!

(Ryan walks over towards the corner and then jumps onto it, he lets out a smile as the crowd cheers him on, raising his arms in the air and taking in all the support, the last shot is of Ryan celebrating before Showdown fades away to commercials.)

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

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen at this time please welcome… T!!!!!!!!! L!!!!!!!!!! A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(“Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac hits as the crowd erupts into cheers and TLA makes his way down to the ring in a lowrider with self-driving technology while sitting cross legged on the hood. TLA stands up as the vehicle parks itself at ringside and hops over onto the apron and climbs up to the top rope. TLA stands up on the top rope surveying the electric crowd before hopping into the ring and taking the mic from Gina Romano.)

Crowd: TLA! TLA! TLA!

Eve: TLA and Ryan Wilson had a great match at Reasonable Doubt where they represented Showdown against the British Invasion and came very close to winning the Unified Tag Team Championships!

Gavin Kirkland: But they failed! They are an embarrassment to this brand! Get this traitor out of here!

Deadprez: Oh nah I think we will definitely fire your ass before we ever get rid of him. TLA and Ryan’s match actually contributed to making Reasonable Doubt a good show. You on the other hand…

Gavin Kirkland: Keep hatin’…

(The music fades away as does the crowd chants before TLA is able to speak to address the crowd.)

TLA: ORALE HARTFORD!!! QUE PASA MI GENTE?!?

Crowd: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: 

TLA: Yoyoyo lemme talk to y’all real quick. It been too long since we just had a chance to keep it tranquilo out here. Just chillin’. Just out here and we having a planning committee with the TLArmy. We having a war strategy meeting if ya feel me. We planning out our next steps. What’s next for TLA? What’s gonna happen next out here? What is a vato to do?

(TLA pauses for a moment thinking about what his next steps in EAW are as the crowd shouts out various suggestions at him.)

TLA: You know that I like to think real big. I ain’t never take a backseat. Always makin’ them moves and you know them moves be making money. We out here having a straight up generational run here on Showdown and this season still not over. We on the road to Pain for Pride and we gotta remind everyone on this brand that we still run these streets. Controlo las pinches calles cabrones! Cuz we not backing down. Nah we sayin’ our shit. They ain’t about to censor an hombre none. Cuz we not taking a backseat no longer. Not to nobody!

(An image appears on screen showing the end of the Unified Tag Team Championship match at Reasonable Doubt. The match ended as TLA lunged into the ring a half second too late to save his partner Ryan Wilson from taking the pinfall.)

TLA: We done came damn close to winning it all. But you know what? Them props be due and in the end I shook the hands of British Invasion for pulling it off. I gave them the manos one way. Then I gave them the manos another way. But we ain’t done throwing them manos just yet. Cuz we not taking our eyes off the prize at the end of the road to Pain for Pride. Too many times a vato has been asked to take a backseat. To get tossed aside. To get thrown out like basura like the shit I have done for this place ain’t mattered. Too many suits in the back just want to move on and throw whoever the flavor of the month competitor is out there as soon as they can to try and make some cheap hype generate off they backs while TLA is sent off to run side quests.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TLA: Nah nah nah hold up tho. Cuz every time that has happened who has come out better for it? Who has come out the winner? That’s fucking right. WE HAVE! Look at this season and what I did with the Answers World Championship. Voltage thinks they hot right now cuz they kept them Tag Titles but let’s not forget that Voltage had yo boi out holding down the Hardcore division when they could have strapped the rocket to me any day of the week. Hell Voltage missed out twice. They had me out holding down the National Elite division before that and y’all would have thought they’d have recognized then what La Pantera Sexual could do! Pero yo boi done took them campeonatos and I made them mean something. We built ourselves a legado that can’t be matched by anyone in that locker room backstage. But still in the end Voltage missed out. They spent too long playing with they other toys and in the end it was Showdown that pulled the trigger and got to see TLA straight run the game all season long! I guess they can keep the tag titles as a consolation prize. Cuz we got the other brands seething while we over here doin’ big business and you know that the big business only getting bigger cuz we can’t stop. We won’t stop.

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

TLA: And now y’all expect me to just stay out of it? Let Elysium and Harper Lee and Donovan Duke run the game at the top of this thang? Nah y’all bitches done thought wrong. You ain’t getting rid of me that easily. If Elysium can just randomly get thrown into the main event at the last minute before the show… If Ronan Malosi can just walk back into this company acting like he a big shot when he ain’t even been here in the longest then just wait to see what we can do! Just wait to see what imma bout! If you ain’t been watching the show you bout to find out what imma bout! You want to know what is next for TLA? We doin’ it all over again mi raza! We taking it all and we taking it all to the main event of Pain for Pride!

Crowd: APOFJOSAJ_($J)AHSIOH$OIAHFHSA_HS$_ASHAW

TLA: We doin’ whatever it takes to make it happen! Cuz TLA not taking a backseat for nobody ever again! Y’all think that just cuz my title reign ended off some bullshit back in December y’all can just forget that I be the one who been running the main event scene around here? Nah y’all should never forget! Cuz we not letting all the trabajo we done put in this season be taken advantage of and forgotten. We not letting Showdown move on to some other shit and act like we ain’t still in this bitch. Cuz we still here. We still around. We still the hottest luchador out! Y’all wanna know how we gonna do it? No sé qué chingados voy a hacer. But I know one thing. It’s gonna take a whole lot of sangre. It’s gonna take a whole lot of violencia. It’s gonna take a straight up revolution to fuck the whole world up and leave absolutely no doubts in anyone’s mind that at the end of the day it still be TLA who is and forever will be EL CAMPEON!

(TLA throws his fist up in the air as he climbs up to the top rope and “Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac fills the arena yet again. The crowd chants TLA’s name along to the beat as he exits the ring and hops back into his self-driving lowrider. Has the self-driving technology been tested driving in a pro wrestling arena setup? We may never know.)

Eve: Well I hope you are satisfied Gavin because it is clear that TLA is here to fight for Showdown until the very end.

Gavin Kirkland: He still lost tho! Never forgive!

Deadprez: TLA says he will do anything it takes to reach the main event of Pain for Pride this year. He’s done it before. Will he do it again?

(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Chris Elite doing the noodle dance.)

(Saturday Night Showdown returns from a commercial break for the main event with Gina Romano standing tall at the center of the ring.)

Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS SCHDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Homecoming’ by Lil Uzi Vert hits the PA system as Brianna Hill makes her way out to a mixed reaction wearing a proud expression. The Specialist Championship drapes over her shoulder, crossing to the other side of her waist before Hill stripping the championship from its position and raises it high while making her way down to the ring showing it off.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM CANCUN, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS!… SHE’S THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!… THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN!… BRIANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!… HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DAMMIT! I will never forgive you, Silas! This was supposed to be her night!… But you know what? I like Brianna Hill too! She spreads her wings proudly like the butterfly she is! And that is your new EAW Specialist Champion!

Eve: You can never trust that guy, and after what happened to Nikki Kimura at Reasonable Doubt, no matter how proud this moment may seem, it feels incredibly unfair for Nikki to be treated like this. She doesn’t deserve this treatment. But at the same time, we can’t say that Brianna Hill’s title win isn’t deserved either.

Deadprez: Hey man, I’m happy to see her achieve something after the tough times she’s been through and the hard year she had dealing with Valerie Hellstorm. She finally got her career-defining moment, and I’m proud to see it happen.

(Brianna steps into the ring and stands in her corner, watching the stage while carrying the Specialist Championship on her shoulder. ‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher hits the PA system to a loud cheer as Cody Maverick makes his entrance, holding and swinging the EAW National Elite Championship in his right hand as he marches toward the ring, looking around at the crowd as they fuel him with the energy he needs.

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE OPPONENT!… FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS!… HE’S THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR!… CODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!… MAVERICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of deserving, here’s someone who truly earned it! After a year of hard work and hard fought challenges, Cody Maverick has finally become the EAW National Elite Champion and he deserves this moment to the fullest!

Eve: Cody has truly earned this moment. He’s been fighting for this championship for longer than we can even remember, and in the end, he overcame SOSA Henderson to claim his rightful place as champion. He did exactly what he promised to do and now, he’s finally got it.

Deadprez: I’ve always seen my dawg Cody come out here and bust his ass off. I was always a firm believer that my guy was going to make it and look at that, he’s standing here as the champion! He made it through, and I’m so proud, dawg!

(DING DING DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: Two newly crowned champions are set to collide as the National Elite Champion takes on the Specialists Champion to determine who truly reigns supreme in their division! These two previously faced off in an Elimination Match earlier this year for a shot at the National Elite Championship where Brianna Hill was eliminated along the way but she later earned an opportunity at the Specialists Championship and successfully defeated Nikki Kimura to claim the title while Cody Maverick secured his own championship victory by overcoming SOSA Henderson and Miku Sakai at Reasonable Doubt, solidifying his legacy.

Eve: Maverick and Hill step toward the center of the ring, reaching out before engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Maverick slips one hand through and gradually transitions into a side headlock, applying pressure against the Specialists Champion. 

Deadprez: Maverick then shifts his grip to the opposite side maintaining control over Brianna Hill before smoothly executing a headlock takeover, bringing her to the mat as the maneuver leads into a quick pin attempt, but Brianna swiftly kicks out and elevates herself off the ground only to find herself still trapped in the headlock!

Gavin Kirkland: Hill wrenches Maverick’s arm forward, twisting it while driving her pointed elbow into his shoulder for added pressure. Hill firmly clutches his wrist from behind, keeping him positioned in front of her. Maverick drops to one knee trying to alleviate the strain as Hill delivers another elbow strike to his shoulder adding an extra layer to the pressure! 

Eve: It has been a showcase of high-level wrestling from both competitors so far, with Maverick struggling on the mat as he watches his own arm being contorted in the wrong direction by Brianna Hill. Hill plants her foot against Maverick’s calf while continuing to torque his arm, then wraps her free arm around his neck, locking in a sleeper hold which at the same time, Hill maintains her grip on his arm to apply even more pressure as if trying to tear it from its socket!

Deadprez: Hill is putting her technical prowess on full display but as a well-rounded elitist, she has plenty more in her arsenal, but for now, she’s focused on maintaining control over her opponent. Maverick is starting to wear down under the Specialists Champion’s grip, reaching out in an attempt to grab her head. 

Gavin Kirkland: Hill tries to evade his grasp while keeping the sleeper hold locked in, continuing to choke Maverick while also keeping pressure on his arm but Maverick manages to get his fingertips on her hair before using his free hand to grip the back of Hill’s neck. Maverick yanks her forward with a burst of strength sending her rolling across the mat in front of him!

Eve: A slick escape by Cody Maverick allows him to evade the submission maneuver applied by Brianna Hill, quickly getting back to his feet. Hill charges forward, looking to regain control but Maverick drives a knee into her ribs before landing a stiff jab to her jaw! 

Deadprez: National Elite Champion follows up with another quick jab, then delivers a third that staggering Hill and leaving an opening for Maverick to capitalize! He swiftly spins around, looking to connect with a Discus Lariat! 

Gavin Kirkland: BUT HILL CATCHES HIS ARM MID-SWING!!!! And Hill quickly transitions the lariat… INTO AN ARM-TRAPPED STO TAKEDOWN SLAMMING MAVERICK BACK FIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY!!!!!! Hill keeps Maverick secured in her grip after slamming him onto the mat and quickly drags him back to his feet, only to drive him right back down with Mat Slam on the same spot! She’s bringing offense to keep the pressure on Maverick as she continues her aggressive assault!

Eve: Hill is here to prove why she deserves this championship despite the high momentum Maverick is riding as a newly crowned titleholder like her. Maverick rolls away toward the corner, using the middle rope to drag himself back to his feet while clutching his back. Now Hill methodically approaches before driving her right shoulder into Maverick’s ribs, then follows up with repeated shoulder thrusts with each one landing with precision against his midsection. She continues ramming her shoulder into his ribs to wear him down with relentless impact!

Deadprez: Hill turns away from Maverick, making her way to the opposite corner while locking eyes with him with his fiery gaze clouded by the pain he’s enduring. Hill quickly charges forward as she’s looking to strike! 


Gavin Kirkland: Maverick catches the incoming Hill with a back elbow, sending her stumbling back toward the center of the ring. Hill shakes off the impact and rushes in again only for Maverick to sidestep, causing her to crash chest first into the turnbuckles. Maverick quickly positions himself behind her… AND JUMPS FOR THE LEAPING NECKBREAKER DRIVING BRIANNA HILL BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!!!!! 

Eve: Hill has been taken down by the Neckbreaker, giving Maverick the perfect opening to capitalize on the momentum. He pushes himself off the mat, quickly rising to his feet before springing onto the second rope as he’s eyeing his next move from the top!… 

Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) CO-DY MAVERICK!

Eve: AND DOWN HE GOES!!!!!! Diving Elbow from the top! Maverick and the crowd roar in unison as he ascends from the second rope to the top, taking flight and driving an elbow drop into the downed Brianna Hill! And with momentum on his side, Maverick quickly hooks the leg and goes for the cover!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eve: BRIANNA HILL POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!!! That’s a two-count for Cody Maverick, but he’s still a long way from securing victory over a fellow champion. Brianna Hill’s advantage has been stripped away as Maverick slowly rises to his feet, positioning himself next to Hill as she struggles to stand. 

Deadprez: Now Maverick takes matters into his own hands, helping her up only to drive a stiff body punch into her ribs. He quickly follows up with another sharp strike to her other side utilizing his boxing background to wear her down! Hill tries to guard herself as she desperately attempts to endure the onslaught! 

Gavin Kirkland: Maverick seizes the moment, stepping forward and delivering another punishing body shot with the relentless barrage forcing Hill to stagger backward, eventually finding herself leaning against the ropes as she’s vulnerable to whatever Maverick has planned next! 

Eve: Maverick sees Hill in a vulnerable state and quickly pulls her up by the chin before delivering a Knife Edge Chop while she’s already backed against the ropes! Hill grits her teeth in pain from the impact, but before she can react, Maverick forces her toward a nearby corner. Hill stumbles as Cody swiftly cuts her off, leaving her chest exposed… just in time for another brutal Knife Edge Chop! 

Deadprez: Hill recoils! She’s leaning against the turnbuckles, but Maverick isn’t finished. He’s fired up! And with her chest left open once more, now Maverick begins to unleash a relentless barrage of chops with each one connecting with pinpoint accuracy! THE MACHINE GUN CHOP IS IN FULL RHYTHM!!!!! THEY ARE STRIKING WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT!!!!!

(CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!)

Deadprez: AND ONE MORE FOR THE GOOD MEASURE!!!! Damn, I wouldn’t be surprised if her chest is completely blistered after all those brutal chops from The Sin City Superstar!

Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill is seen rolling to the outside of the ring, clutching her chest and taking a moment to catch her breath after enduring a grueling stretch. Maverick begins exiting through the ropes while she remains there, still holding her chest. Hill stumbles toward the ring post and leans against it for support. 

Eve: Maverick approaches her and positions her in the same spot as if determined not to let exhaustion set in despite expending so much energy to wear down Brianna Hill!… CODY GOES FOR ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP!!!! 

(CLANK!!!!!)

Eve: :lupes: !!!! I think he might have just broken his hand! Hill moves out of the way causing the chop to land directly against the unforgiving steel of the ring post!

Deadprez: Maverick winces in pain after smashing his hand against the unforgiving steel post, and Brianna Hill swiftly capitalizes! She charges forward… BICYCLE KICK!!!!! Hill with a Bicycle Kick striking the side of Maverick’s skull against the steel post! His positioning was perfect for her to exploit, and she wasted no time in seizing the opportunity!

Gavin Kirkland: Maverick remains standing firm on the outside as Brianna Hill rolls back into the ring glancing at him and spotting another opportunity to strike! AND HERE COMES HILL… CRASHING THROUGH WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ON CODY!!!!! She wipes out Maverick completely! Hill has been putting up a relentless fight against him so far, while Maverick has taken the brunt of the punishment throughout this match. 

Eve: Hill slowly regains her footing, dragging Maverick up before driving him back under the bottom rope and into the ring! Hill rolls back into the ring and turns toward the turnbuckles, where she begins ascending, climbing all the way to the top rope. She steadies herself, standing tall and poised at the highest point… DIVING CANNONBALL SENTON BY BRIANA HILL!!!!!!!1! Hill is looking to put Maverick away as she immediately goes for cover!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eve: MAVERICK KICKS OUT!!!!! Hill glances back with desperation evident in her eyes. She wants to win this match against Cody as well!

Deadprez: And with that being said, she’s no longer looking to catch a break; instead, she seizes the opportunity presented before her. Hill rolls back to her feet and she stands firm in front of Maverick, who is struggling to push himself up from the mat. Hill grabs him and delivers a right hand across his jaw, sending him back down to both knees once again! 

Gavin Kirkland: But she’s far from finished. Hill propels herself off the ropes and rebounds with precision… AND SCORPION KICK CONNECTS SQUARELY WITH MAVERICK’S FOREHEAD SENDING HIM CRASHING TO THE MAT!!!! 

Eve: She’s already adjusting her focus to sharpen her approach in this match while Cody is still down on the mat. Hill now moves along the sideline, watching Maverick sprawled on the ground before rolling forward and driving both knees straight into Maverick’s ribs! She goes airborne and transitioning into a handstand double knee drop, crashing down onto Cody’s ribs! An emphatic insult to injury by Brianna Hill! Cody has been taken out!

Deadprez: Maverick is once again seen rolling to the outside, his ribs still aching from Brianna’s relentless assault. Hill follows him out, leaping through the ropes and watching as Maverick struggles to rise and he’s clutching his ribs in pain. Brianna shifts her attention to Cody, positioning herself on the entrance ramp…. ALREADY PLOTTING HER NEXT MOVE AS SHE LOOKS TO DRIVE CODY ONTO THE HARD SURFACE OF THE RAMP WITH A SUPLEX!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Maverick fights through the pain, slipping behind her at the last second! Hill whips around, quickly striking him with a forearm to the back before seizing him again, attempting a second suplex… AND BAM!!!! MAVERICK COUNTERS LIFTING BRIANNA HIGH AND DROPPING HER WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!!! A reversal that outsmarted Brianna Hill courtesy of the EAW National Elite Champion! Now, it’s Maverick’s turn to put some offense to work while Hill is recovering from the back pain she sustained from the suplex on the ground where Cody had just planted her. 

Eve: Maverick is reaching for both feet, slowly backing away as he watches Hill as he’s waiting for her to rise. He then dragged her up to her feet, rolling her back into the ring. Hill is sent back inside as Maverick follows, rolling under the ropes and keeping a close eye on her. Slowly, she makes it to her feet, unsteady but determined, as Maverick takes a few steps back then suddenly bursts into a sprint!… RUNNING CLIOTHESLINE BY CODY TURNS BRIANNA HILL INSIDE OUT!!!!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of impact, it looks like Cody has just recovered from the shots Hill delivered regaining some strength as he gets back into motion.

Deadprez: Maverick now steadies himself while Hill is seen trying to shake off the dizziness after that suplex that turned her upside down. Maverick helps her up, quickly seizing the opportunity as he pulls her in!.. HE’S SETTING UP FOR A FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX!!!!! 

Eve: But Hill resists by struggling out of his grasp and landing right in front of him! Hill is now looking to turn things around attempting to hit an Exploder Suplex once she finds her opening! 

Gavin Kirkland: Maverick counters with a back elbow to the side of her head! That elbow forcing her to stagger backward as Maverick refuses to be taken down so easily this time. Hill quickly regains her footing and charges toward Maverick, but he ducks under her approach and turns around…. 

Deadprez: Hill locks her eyes back on him but she’s met with a Rolling Elbow from Cody, sending her crashing straight into the ropes! She rebounds off, attempting to catch Cody off guard with a running attack BUT MAVERICK CATCHES HER MID MOTION AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A POWERFUL SCOOP POWERSLAM!!!! A COVER BY CODY!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: TWOOOO!!!!!!! HILL KICKS OUT!!!!!! Looks like the Specialists Champion isn’t going down easily either! Maverick regains control by locking Hill’s chin with both hands before unloading a series of mounted punches right to her jaw. Hill is already struggling to defend herself against his offense! 

Eve: Maverick follows up with even more vicious ground-and-pound strikes to her face, causing her to wince in pain from the blows. She’s taking a brutal beating, but at the same time, it’s not easy for Maverick to maintain control as she fights back with everything she has! Maverick has no choice but to slam her back down to the mat before driving a STOMP right into her heart forcing Hill to endure yet another crushing blow! 

Gavin Kirkland: Hill is strategizing in her head as she’s searching for a way to counter everything Maverick is throwing at her. Maverick circles around looking for the perfect opening to take her down at her own game. Maverick now grabs Hill by the wrist, yanking her back toward him before smashing her with a vicious arm-trapped elbow strike to the side of her skull! 

Deadprez: Hill stumbles but shakes off the pain, locking eyes with Maverick before retaliating with a sharp chop to the side of his neck, forcing him to stumble back slightly! 

Eve: Maverick shakes his head! He’s feeding off the energy! He’s refusing to go down easily. He fires back with another elbow strike, but this time, Brianna quickly counters with another stiff chop! Maverick swats her hand away… AND HE KNOCKS HER DOWN TO BOTH KNEES WITH A HARD DISCUS PUNCH!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Gavin Kirkland: And that’s all she wrote! Hill is proving to be incredibly stubborn to stay down, forcing Maverick to take a more ruthless approach to put her away! Maverick raises his arm high before taking off toward the ropes building momentum for his next move!-

Deadprez: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!!! Hill springs back to her feet and rushes forward, chasing Maverick from behind before knocking him into the ropes with a Bicycle Knee Strike! She then pushes Maverick against the ropes, using the momentum to send him toward the opposite side of the ring as he rebounds back toward the center AND BOOM!!!!!! HILL’S JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TAKES CODY DOWN!!!!!! HILL DROPS INTO THE COVER!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: AND TWO COUNTS!!!! CODY MAVERICK KICKS OUT!!!!! Maverick, who had just barely kicked out is instinctively leaning against the ropes for support! 

Eve: Hill rolls back taking a moment to glance at her opponent, seeing him dazed from the knee strikes that nearly rocked his world! She quickly pushes herself up and sprints toward the ropes, perfectly setting herself up for it… HOTLINE KICK!!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: But wait a second, Cody! Maverick isn’t letting that happen! His eyes widen as he spots the opening! He knows exactly what’s coming! Hill is going for the Tiger Feint Kick, but Maverick catches and snatches her in, yanking her all the way through the ropes and dragging her toward the center of the ring! He grabs her by the legs lifting her up… MAVERICK COUNTERS THE HOTLINE KICK INTO A WHEELBARROW GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A REVERSAL!!!! MAVERICK BRIDGES INTO A COVER!!!!!! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND HILL STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT AT TWO AS WELL!!!!!! But that’s a great counterm you have to give credit where it’s due! I didn’t see that coming from Cody either, but he pulled it off brilliantly right there! 

Deadprez: Now, Maverick is leaning against the ropes, and he might be looking to put an end to this soon. He sees Briana in a weakened state, and he’s charging up that strike which is the very move that has ended countless opponents in his path before claiming the EAW National Elite Championship. 

Eve: He’s setting her up in a dangerous position, and she might not be able to regain her clarity in time to catch this!!… LIGHTS OUT PUNCH!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Hill lands a kick to the arm, sending him stumbling away! Maverick isn’t able to connect as his arm was kicked, but he quickly drives his boot into Briana Hill’s face just as she turns around!… AND HILL LEAPS OFF THE GROUND FOR THE PELE KICK!!!!!….

Deadprez: WHAT DA HELLLLLLLLLLLL????

Gavin Kirkland: Folks, are we watching the same match? Can you believe what I’m seeing right now?

Eve: You’re watching the right product, Prez and Gavin! You’re witnessing a man who just pulled off yet another miraculous counter on this woman! Hill was going for the Pele Kick, but Maverick moved out of the way, causing her to backflip for the kick, but it didn’t land the way she intended! 

Gavin Kirkland: She ended up landing right on her hands! Maverick then uses his immense strength to pull her back up by the leg before using his other arm to help himself deadlift her onto his shoulder!… AND CODY TURNS THE PELE KICK INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL POWERSLAM!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Hill is crushed to the ground by the immense strength of the powerslam that Maverick just pulled off, and he’s stumbling near the ropes. Hill is seen holding her back in pain, but she’s pushing through though that might just be the setup Maverick needs to go for the finish!… BANG!!!! LIGHTS OUT PUNCH CONNECTS!!!! HILL IS DOWN!!!! MAVERICK GOES FOR A COVER!!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!–

Deadprez: AND NO!!! NO!!! THAT’S TWO!!!! BRIANNA HILL BARELY MOVES HER SHOULDER UP!!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Still not enough to take out the Butterfly Queen at this rate! That punch connected, but she’s hanging in there while he builds the momentum to put this match away soon enough! Cody Maverick is slowly getting back to his feet while Brianna Hill remains heavily stunned! Maverick turns around and seizes Brianna by the head, putting her in a guillotine position. He tries to lift her onto the top rope… he could be setting up The Moneymaker! 

Eve: But Brianna is struggling to break free! Maverick tries to secure her legs onto the ropes, but Hill uses both feet to thrust herself off, leaping backward onto the second rope and coming down with a Springboard Armdrag that sends Maverick rolling across the ring! 

Deadprez: Maverick holds his back as he tries to recover, but Hill, leaning against the ropes, quickly sprints forward, rebounds off the ropes, and goes for the BREAKTHROUGH KICK!!! BUT NO!!! MAVERICK POPS HER INTO THE AIR AND PLANTS BRIANNA HILL TO THE MAT WITH A DEVASTATING POWERBOMB!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: And he doesn’t stop there. He rolls Hill through onto her knees and now… BANG!!!!!!! A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS FLUSH KNOCKING HER JAW COLD!!!!! Brianna is sent crashing to the ground from the sheer force of that knee! It landed perfectly!

Eve: That might be it! Maverick just landed a running knee right across Brianna Hill’s jaw, sending her crashing to the mat! Maverick holds onto her and now begins pulling the lifeless Brianna Hill back to her feet after that brutal knee strike. Crowd is fully behind these two, but Maverick seems like the one in control here. They’re also cheering loudly for the brand-new National Elite Champion, willing him to secure the victory!

Deadprez: Maverick is now the one lifting Brianna Hill up! He could be aiming for the Fireman’s Carry Gutbuster! But Hill seems to be aware of the danger of the situation! She struggles to escape and now dropping to the ground before quickly rolling Maverick up from behind with a School Boy Pin! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Deadprez: CODY KICKS OUT!!!!! Maverick is on his knees after being kicked out, trying to get up quickly, but Brianna Hill is charging in at full speed! She leaps, swinging around in tilt-a-whirl fashion LOOKING TO TURN CODY DOWN WITH SANGUINE PARADISE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: POWERSLAM!!!! Cody just uses the momentum of the tilt-a-whirl maneuver that is meant to take him out and counters it into his own tilt-a-whirl powerslam, taking Brianna down at the last possible second! 

Eve: Looks like Maverick is about to secure the win! He picks her up to both feet and now… HIGH ROLLER ON BRIANNA HILL!!!!!!!!!! CODY GOT HER!!!!! HE GOES FOR A COVER!!!!!

Deadprez: What the hell????

Gavin Kirkland: SILAS WORLD!!!!! Harper Lee, Donovan Duke, and the returning Ronan Malosi all rush into the ring together and ambush Cody Maverick just as he is about to go for the cover!

(DING DING DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION!… CODY MAVERICK! 

Gavin Kirkland: That slimy bastard is at ringside watching everything unfold with a big smile plastered across his face! He’s applauding them as they continue mauling the National Elite Champion! Ronan grabs Maverick by the arm, dragging him up… DEATH RO PUTS MAVERICK OUT!!!!! 

Eve: And just as that happens, look up to the top! Harper Lee is perched up there to take flight!… DIVING MOONSAULT CRUSHING CODY!!!! 

Deadprez: Damn, is no one going to help him out?! Where is everybody?! Silas World is beating this poor guy to a pulp! He’s the National Elite Champion! 

Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Finish the job, Brianna.

Gavin Kirkland: And now, Brianna Hill, with the help of Silas World, is getting back to her feet and dragging Cody Maverick, who is already beaten to a pulp, up with her. She looks around soaking in the crowd’s reaction as they shower Silas World with boos from every direction…. THE GRUDGE PLANTS CODY!!!!!!!!!!!! 

(Brianna Hill gets to her feet as all four members of Silas World stand tall together, just as Silas Mason makes his way into the ring.)

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Brianna hands him the mic.)

Silas Mason: I need for all of you to shut up for a moment so that I may speak some truth here.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silas Mason: Fine, be rude. What you are seeing in front of you right now are four wrestlers that at times in their past have been very disrespected by this company and by you. Harper Lee is a sure fire Hall of Famer, an Iconic Cup winner, Universal Women’s Champion, two time tag team champion, Specialist Champion and has been a mainstay in the Women’s Division for a long time, and yet she doesn’t get the recognition or respect that she deserves, women like Veena Adams do.

(The crowd continues to boo loudly.)

Silas Mason: Brianna Hill, one of the most underrated young women on this roster that just needed a chance. I gave that to Nikki Kimura, and she decided that it was in her best interest to defy me when it was I who led her to the Specialist Championship, but Brianna listened, she knew that this was the best way to break through the ceiling and now she is on her own and as a champion! Yet, you people disrespect her and doesn’t get the recognition she deserves and cheer others like Nikki and Milli Banks instead.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silas Mason: For years Donovan Duke was the biggest rising star in this company and yet no one ever gave him the flowers he deserved, and I saw that from day one. After he lost to this piece of shit that is outside of the ring being attended to right now by the medical staff, I approached Donovan and asked him WHY? Why are you going to allow these people to dictate what you do in this brand and company, so he took his shot, became the Answers World Champion and there isn’t a damn thing that anyone can do about it, all of you have no choice BUT to respect this man!

(Donovan Duke raises the Answers World Championship as Silas claps.)

Silas Mason: Finally, there is Ronan Malosi. And I know that most of you were laughing when he unmasked, thought that the man you were getting was the simp for Andre Walker, the one who was trying to grab all this positivity to build his desperate character, but that is where you were wrong. See, for a very long time from far away I saw the potential of Ronan Malosi. I saw the size, power and all he ever needed was the guidance. Consider Ronan Malosi a vintage car with no motor, all that needed to happen was the right one installed. What this man has always had was potential… and yet YOU MADE A JOKE OUT OF HIM!

 Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silas Mason: And now what you see is one of the greatest collections of talent that this company has ever seen. My reputation speaks for itself. I have managed World Champions throughout all companies and facets in professional wrestling and the EAW is no different. As you all know I once managed Kennedy Street and Alana Starr to World Championships in their own careers, it is one of the reasons that Kennedy brought me to the EAW, to scout talent, to make them better, to bring and attract them to Showdown. That is exactly what I did! Now –

(Suddenly “Her” by Megan Thee Stallion starts to play throughout the arena. The fans stand up and cheer as Kennedy Street walks out along with Alana Starr. She has a mic in hand as she makes her way to the ring, she then points at medical to check on Cody Maverick who is nodding he is okay and demands he be taken to the back even though he doesn’t want to.)

Kennedy Street: (Off Mic) Get to the back and let medical check you out honey, we can’t lose you.

(Cody Maverick doesn’t want to go and tries to get back to the ring.)

Kennedy Street: (Off Mic) Cody… please!

(She places her hand on his chest as he finally nods.)

Cody Maverick: (Off Mic) Fine… for you I will.

(The medical staff escorts him to the back as she continues to walk to the ring with Alana, getting into the ring.)

Kennedy Street: Cut the music, honey.

(The theme ends. Kennedy walks right up to Silas Mason.)

Kennedy Street: When I hired you to come here Silas it was to scout talent, help some Elitists out that needed some advice and a person with the knowledge to help some of them, but what you have done is the same thing that you do in every promotion you have ever been in Silas. Like locusts, honey. You come in here and eat the crops and build Silas World again!? Then honey, you turn around and draw these battle lines thinking that the Blue Brand is now going to face this? Have this ogre here run around and take out wrestlers from not only Showdown but also Voltage!?

Silas Mason: Kennedy, I know you are upset about what happened to Pandora, she is a protégé of your family, but as you know we cannot always make an omelet without cracking some eggs, right?

Kennedy Street: Cut the crap Silas. I never signed Ronan Malosi to a contract here on Showdown after what he did here in 2020. And –

(Silas cuts her off.)

Silas Mason: No, you didn’t , but I did. Remember you gave me an open contract to sign anyone out there that I could attract to the Blue Brand, and I did just that. But I feel like you really do not understand Ronan Malosi.

Kennedy Street: We saw what Ronan was on Dynasty, the only difference is he doesn’t have Andre Walker’s ass to kiss anymore.

(The crowd cheers.)

Silas Mason: I know you are the boss, and I will always respect and cherish Kennedy Street for who she is, The Sexy Flawless Diva, one of the most emphatic women to ever grace the ring and one of the best General Managers to ever grace EAW. But I am going to give you a friendly warning, please allow us to do what we need to.

Kennedy Street: No. Matter of fact Silas, I am in the right mind of firing you and sending this big doofus back to wherever it is he was.

Silas Mason: You don’t want to do that.

Kennedy Street: Oh, I do. Matter of fact Silas, you are F-

(But before Kennedy can finish her sentence, Silas Mason takes the mic and slaps it from her face. Kennedy nods and just shakes her head, slipping out her heels.)

Deadprez: A TOUCH OF CLASS! KENNEDY STREET JUST HIT SILAS MASON WITH THAT JUMPING REVERSE SIDE SUPERKICK THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND SILAS MASON GOES DOWN!

(Kennedy stands over him and grabs the mic.)

Kennedy Street: AS KENNIE WAS SAYING HONEY! YOU ARE F-

Eve: DEATH-RO ON KENNEDY STREET! RONAN MALOSI JUST GRABBED THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN AND LAID HER OUT WITH A DEATH-RO! ALANA STARR IS IN SHOCK AS SHE TRIES TO HELP HER BUT RONAN GRABS HER AND THROWS ALANA OUT OF THE RING!

(Ronan picks up Kennedy who is out of it and he sets her up…)

Gavin Kirkland: DON’T DO IT RONAN! DON’T….. A SECOND DEATH-RO ON THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN AND KENNEDY IS OUT! RONAN STANDS OVER HER AS DONOVAN DUKE, HARPER LEE, BRIANNA HILL LOOK ON!

Ronan Malosi: (Off mic) It didn’t have to be this way “boss”… but what you did was simply make Silas bring into Showdown a Necessary Evil.

(Kennedy is sprawled out on the mat not moving and Ronan now grabs her by the ankles, lifting her up.)

Deadprez: DAMN IT RONAN! STOP! STOP DAMN IT!

(Suddenly the fans break out in cheers as Cody Maverick comes running out with a chair.)

Eve: HERE COMES CODY MAVERICK BACK WITH A CHAIR AND SILAS WHO IS STILL GROGGY PULLS RONAN OFF KENNED AS HE DROPS HER. DONOVAN, BRIANNA AND HARPER ARE ALL ABOUT TO ATTACK HIM!

(And then “7 Rings” by Arianna Grande starts to play as the crowd erupts in cheers, Veena, Adams, Milli Banks, Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton come running out, Silas World clear the ring but Silas is pulling Ronan out of the ring who wants to face them all.)

Deadprez: THE CAVALRY IS HERE AND SILAS WORLD ALL JUMP OUT OF THE RING! THE TROOPS SLIDE IN AND CODY GOES RIGHT TO KENNEDY STREET TO CHECK ON HER AS HE YELLS FOR MEDICAL TO COME!

(Silas Mason pulls Ronan back as he just stares coldly at what he did. Alana Starr slides back in concerned as Medical quickly runs down to assist the fallen General manager. Veena, Bronson, Milli, and Jon are in the ring staring down Silas World as Donovan Duke holds up the Answers World Championship. Harper smiles, Brianna holds up the Specialist Championship and Ronan is still being pulled by Silas Mason.)

Eve: RONAN MALOSI ATTACKED THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN AND SHE IS DOWN! TOOK TWO DEATH-RO’S AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE HE WAS GOING TO DO AND LOOK AT CODY MAVERICK! HE IS SCREAMING IN ANGER AS MEDICAL CHECK ON HER! THIS IS A CHAOTIC SCENE AND WE ARE OUT OF TIME!

Gavin Kirkland: THEY KILLED KENNIE….. YOU BASTARDS!

Deadprez: IF YOU DIDN’T THINK THE WAR WAS OVER…. I THINK A NEW CHAPTER HAS BEEN WRITTEN HERE TONIGHT! SOMEBODY HELP HER! WE ARE OUT OF TIME…. GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

(Veena, Elysium, and Milli Banks continue the stare down with Silas World while Cody Maverick, Alana Starr and Medical tend to the fallen Kennedy Street as Showdown slowly fades.)
