Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of Showdown last week. Veena makes her return and talks about everything that has happened to lead up to here, Milli and Bronson come out to give their own opinion and making their own stand, as Kelton comes out last, apologizing towards Veena for their part and Veena simply saying that she is doing this for Milli and Bronson, as the four of them draw their line and they are clear on the fact they want to take Silas World down. Jadeite wins against Anna Murray. Nikki Kimura looks for Silas Mason, accusing him of screwing her but Silas says that Nikki screwed herself for not listening to him, as Nikki simply says she will make sure he pays. Miku crashes out while SOSA simply states he will make sure he gets his rematch against Cody. Roberto beats Grace as Grace after the match snaps at the referee. Auburn celebrates getting her Unique Opportunity before Grace suddenly interrupts, proclaiming herself as the real winner of the Opportunity, and so Auburn gladly challenges her to a match with the opportunity in the line, with Grace looking shocked. Ryan Wilson defeats SORN. TLA comes out, proclaiming that he will also make sure to join in the war against Silas World. And in the main event, Cody wins by disqualification as Silas World beat him down. Silas hypes up every single person in Silas World going against the crowd and blaming every single person for the creation of this group, Kennedy comes out, goes at Silas for trying to pull off the same stunt he did at her previous company, and before Silas can retort back, Kennedy suddenly drops him down by herself, but Ronan attacks her and lays her out, with Cody getting overwhelmed, Veena, Milli, Bronson and Kelton rush out to help, running Silas World out of there.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. 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 A CRAZY SHOWDOWN LAST WEEK, BECAUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I BELIEVE WE ARE OFFICIALLY AT WAR!!!
Eve: We are not sure what will happen now with Silas World running amock, and with what happened to Kennedy Street last week, but the show must go on! Tonight, we see Nikki Kimura face off against Jordan Perkins, while Ruler faces off against SORN!
Deadprez: As well as that, Jadeite will have her rematch against Grace de Luca and in the main event, A BIG ONE! The National Elite Champion Cody Maverick teams up with TLA and Ryan Wilson to face off against Silas World!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S STOP TALKING, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SWEET GENERAL MANAGER!
(The camera pans to Alana Starr who is already in the ring. She doesn’t look happy at all after what had happened to Kennedy Street last week against Silas World. The Shwodown crowd is on fire tonight cheering the beautiful Assistant Manager who at one point was a World Champion and one of the best and fastest female wrestlers on the planet. Kennedy Street has been her best friend for years and former tag team partner, so of course she was upset at what happened. The crowd dies down as she talks into the mic.)
Alana Starr: First and foremost, Providence, Rhode Island…. WELCOME TO SHOWDOWN!
(The crowd erupts in cheers.)
Alana Starr: It feels GOOD to be here. But unfortunately, our General Manager, Kennedy Street is not here tonight. She is in GOOD spirits and is one of the toughest women I know. She does have a concussion and is suffering from some whiplash. The doctors advised her to take a few weeks off before she comes back to work; after talking to her earlier today, she is still remotely making some decisions but has given me full authority to be the Interim General Manager until she comes back.
(There is some clapping from the fans.)
Alana Starr: Listen, I know Silas Mason very well. He used to manage me and Kennie, took both of us on separate occasions to World Titles outside of the EAW, but I also know how he operates, what he loves to do, saturate the brand he is in, did It once when he created Silas World a long time ago with different members until he was pretty much ostracized. But Kennedy gave him another chance, because in truth, Silas is a wrestling genius. He gets the game, he understands the business and has always taken his wrestlers to gold, the track record speaks for itself, but it wasn’t about this. He was supposed to help Showdown and not try to take it over. This is unacceptable and –
(Suddenly “Another World” by Gojira starts to play throughout the arena. Alana slowly turns to the entrance way and sighs as Silas Mason slowly walks out, he is followed by the Answers World Champion, Donovan Duke, Harper Lee, the Specialist Champion, Brianna Hill, and the monster, Ronan Malosi.)
Deadprez: Okay we have a problem here. Alana is one of the most talented, high flying speedsters I have ever seen in my life, but even she cannot defend herself against these five. She needs to get out of the ring and now!
Eve: Alana Starr is in grave danger right now! Here comes Silas World in full force!
(The crowd is booing them out of the building as Alana Starr stands her ground, but she takes off her heels, just in case she needs to get physical as the fans cheer seeing her do that gesture.)
Gavin Kirkland: Alana is taking off her heels! She is ready for anything, and this woman is lightning quick, I have never seen anyone as fast as her, but she is so beautiful and needs to get the hell out of the ring before she gets hurt!
(Silas World makes their way into the ring, the 5’6” Alana Starr doesn’t budge, as the much taller Silas Mason walks up to her with mic in hand. The theme slowly fades.)
Crowd: ASSHOLE!!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!!
Silas Mason: Alana –
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silas Mason: Maybe if you people would –
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silas Mason: Listen Alana –
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alana Starr: I don’t think they like you very much bee itch.
(The crowd cheer at Alana doing her normal never cursing in her life bit. She tilts her head, but green eyes shifting over to the other members of Silas World.)
Silas Mason: Alana I think –
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silas Mason: Will you shut the hell up!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Donovan Duke takes the mic.)
Donovan Duke: SHOW RESPECT TO SILAS WORD YOU MORONS!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Silas takes the mic back and glares right at Alana again.)
Silas Mason: I am going to talk through them as they yell and boo me like a bunch of asses, darling. Alana, you are a very talented and sweet young lady. You have the charisma, beautiful looks, and the skills to be a World Champion one day again. You’re not even 30 years old yet and seeing you in this role does make me wonder why do this when you know that the ring is where you belong. Do you remember those days? They were only what, five years ago? You were 22 years old and already a World Champion? Everyone knows why Kennedy needed you here, you were always the one that made the most sense.
(Alana just listens to this as Silas nods, Brianna Hill picks up Alana’s heels and hands them to her.)
Silas Mason: Put your pumps back on sweetheart, there will be no fighting here. We are just here to talk.
(Alana takes the heels but just drops them back to the mat as the fans cheer.)
Silas Mason: Okay fine. Let me explain myself after what happened last week. It was unfortunate because you know how much I love and respect Kennedy. She was my crown jewel once, as were you. We are in a time of change; Alana and it is for the better. See, I come in peace, we didn’t want this to happen to Kennedy, you know how much I adore that woman.
Alana Starr: Liar.
(The crowd cheers.)
Silas Mason: I have never lied to you Alana and what we want is peace. We want to bale and do what is best for Showdown and that is make it the number one Brand in the EAW. Everyone knows that you belong in the ring at this stage with the talent I have behind me. Besides, even if not, think about this for a moment. You belong with me, by MY side, with the rest of these talented wrestlers.
(Suddenly Ronan Malosi gets behind Alana, gently putting his hands on her shoulders.)
Silas Mason: I know that Kennedy will not be back for a few weeks, possibly not even until The Grand Rampage. This is your Showdown now, Alana. You are in charge, and imagine what we could do together. Think about it, you have one week.
(“Another World” by Gojira starts to play throughout the arena. Alana just glares at Silas as Ronan lets her go and Silas World start to make their way out of the ring. The crowd is peppering them with loud boos.)
Deadprez: Hollup. So, Silas basically gave out Interim General Manager an ultimatum!? Either work with us and be by our side…. Or else!?
Eve: That is how it sounded and with Silas Mason, you never know what he is planning next! Alana though held her ground and never moved! She knows that right now Showdown falls on her shoulders.
Gavin Kirkland: I do not like what they did here, but at the same time this is a power grab by Silas Mason, and you have to respect him for it!
(Silas World continues to walk out, but Silas Mason turns to Alana holding up one finger as if telling her she has one week to decide. Alana Starr just glares at him as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following is our opening contest and is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first she is the former Specialists Champion… NIKKKKKKKI KIMURAAAAAAAA!!!
(Nikki Kimura comes down to the ring looking angry and aggressive especially after that introduction from Gina Romano.)
Gavin Kirkland: Damn. Gina being mad disrespectful with that intro.
Deadprez: Well it is true… but you can imagine Nikki Kimura is not happy about what went down at Reasonable Doubt with Silas Mason.
Eve: I feel bad for her opponent now. What are you doing poking the tiger like that Gina?!
(‘2STYLISH’ – Jack Harlow hits to boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent is “Your Inspiration” JORRRRRRRRRRDAN PERKINS!!!!!!
(Jordan Perkins comes down to the ring carrying large stacks of money which he pretends to hand to the fans before quickly taking it away.)
Eve: Damn this guy is an asshole for real.
Gavin Kirkland: He is rich though so you know he must be doing something right in life.
Deadprez: Yes Gavin because everyone who is rich deserves it and is better than anyone poorer than them.
Gavin Kirkland: Exactly. That’s not that hard to understand is it Dead?
Deadprez: :francis:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The match begins as Nikki Kimura immediately bursts out of the corner and drops Jordan Perkins with one hell of a Spear!
Gavin Kirkland: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!
Deadprez: And now Nikki Kimura is unloading all up on Jordan Perkins! Nikki has completely snapped and I don’t know if I have ever seen her start a match this aggressively! She was screwed out of her Specialists Championship and she is going to make it everyone else’s problem!
Eve: Jordan shoves Nikki away and throws her backwards across the ring but Nikki gets back up and rushes Jordan with straight right hands backing her up into the corner. Nikki slaps Jordan hard across the face but Jordan retaliates coming at her with a rushing Forearm. He takes multiple blows to the skull as Nikki fires back but Jordan hits her with a hard knee to the midsection. Nikki shoves him back into the ropes and continues pounding on him but the referee forces the break. Nikki shoves Jordan backwards and he staggers back as she goes up to the middle rope. Jumping Elbow Strike off the top rope comes down right onto the arm of Jordan. Jordan is in pain now as he staggers into the corner. Jordan falls back as Nikki grabs him by the arm and whips him across the ring. Jordan comes back and eats a Dropkick from Nikki who quickly moves into the cover.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Kickout at one by Jordan Perkins. Jordan is back up in the ropes but Nikki is staying on him and aggressively pounding into his chest with overhead chops. Nikki yanks the arm of Jordan down to the mat and puts him into an armbar but Jordan rolls up and out of it. Jordan grabs Nikki by the hair trying to stop her but the referee warns him and Nikki quickly transitions around side of him for a side headlock. Jordan shoves Nikki off and she runs across the ring but comes back with a Running Shoulder Tackle and takes Jordan down yet again.
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura pulls Jordan Perkins back up and puts him into Piledriver position possibly looking to end this thing right here and now. But Jordan manages to twist himself out of it back up to his feet. Jordan pulls Nikki in going for a Small Package but Nikki immediately rolls out of it and begins bashing into Jordan with hard elbow strikes to the nose knocking him away and down to the mat. Nikki then drops a knee on the arm of Jordan and twists him around pushing his face down into the mat. But Jordan kicks backwards flipping back up to his feet suddenly and goes for an Enzuigiri on Nikki suddenly dropping her to the mat. Jordan collapses right next to her and both competitors are down but Jordan has bought himself some time after Nikki’s nonstop aggressive dominance that has made up this match so far.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: The referee is counting down both competitors but Nikki and Jordan are both slowly getting back up to their feet. Nikki lunges at Jordan but he sidesteps her and grabs her by the hair. Jordan hurls Nikki head first into the turnbuckle and she staggers backwards into the ring. Jordan then bounces off the ropes and lays into Nikki with a Clothesline From Hell! Jordan just took Nikki’s head off and he goes to the cover to take full advantage!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Deadprez: But Nikki Kimura kicks out with authority! You have to imagine she is envisioning Silas Mason in the ring with her tonight and she is filled with a seething hatred to keep on going to that she can lay a beating on him further. Nikki gets back up and lunges in at Jordan and she is literally biting into his forehead! Nikki tears into the flesh of Jordan and he is bleeding now profusely from the forehead. Nikki is out for blood and she likes the taste of it! Nikki tosses Jordan hard into the ropes sending him out to the apron. He gets back up but Nikki runs in with a Dropkick!!!-
Eve: But Jordan moves out of the way and Nikki collapses to the outside of the ring. Jordan rolls back into the ring taking a breather as he is covered in blood from that wound on his head. Nikki pulls herself back up to the apron and Jordan grabs her and Suplexes her up over the top rope and back into the ring. Jordan transitions in midair and hits a Brainbuster hard in the middle of the ring! Jordan goes in for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Deadprez: Kickout by Nikki Kimura! And she suddenly headbutts Jordan hard knocking him away from her. Nikki lunges at Jordan again with both hands and she is straight up choking him out! The referee warns Nikki and she lets it go. At least she is not so pissed off here tonight that she is willing to completely throw this match! Nikki yanks Jordan up and throws him into the corner but Jordan gets his feet up to stop himself from crashing into the corner. Nikki now grabs him from behind and is going for a German Suplex but Jordan holds onto the ropes and Nikki can’t seem to lift him!
Gavin Kirkland: Jordan Perkins suddenly lunges forward as Nikki pulls back but she lets go just in time and goes flipping backwards across the ring. Jordan turns around as Nikki gets back up but Jordan runs in with a hard back chop catching her across the chest. Nikki falls backwards into the corner but Jordan runs in with a Running Shoulder Thrust taking the wind out of her. Jordan now trying to bite at the face of Nikki looking for some payback to bloody her! But Nikki with a headbutt knocking him back. Nikki is putting her own well being at stake as she charges in with a Knee Strike to Jordan! But he catches her by the ankle and flips her backwards! Nikki lands hard on her shoulder as Jordan runs up on her from behind and rolls her up with an Inside Cradle!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Eve: Another kickout from Nikki Kimura! Jordan is looking frustrated now he is going to have to hit a finishing move to keep Nikki down for the three count. He looks like he’s setting up for it! But Nikki rushes forward from the mat and grabs his leg! Nikki twists the ankle of Jordan taking him off his feet suddenly! Nikki maintains hold of the ankle as he looks to apply an Ankle Lock but Jordan quickly gets into the ropes and forces the break. The referee keeps Nikki back as she steps back and allows Jordan to get back up.
Deadprez: We are back to square one now as both competitors cautiously circle around the ring. Nikki Kimura has been very aggressive but she might be realizing she needs to put some strategy to work as well if she wants to put Jordan away. They lock up in the ring as Nikki quickly twists around behind Jordan and takes him down with a Backdrop. Jordan goes down hard but Nikki might have hit her head there as well. They both get back up again as Nikki goes in for a Knee Strike but Jordan moves out of the way and kicks the leg of Nikki out from under her. Jordan leaps onto Nikki’s leg with a big Elbow Drop trying to isolate the leg and do some damage here. Jordan twists the leg around of Nikki possibly going for a Figure 4 Leglock. No wait it looks like Jordan is applying a Spinning Toe Hold instead! Nikki is in serious pain here as she tries to maneuver her other leg to kick at Jordan!
Eve: Nikki manages to kick Jordan Perkins off of her! Jordan falls backwards as he goes back after Nikki grabbing her by the leg but she grabs him by the head and pulls him in for a Small Package! Nikki for the steal!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Deadprez: But this time it is Jordan Perkins who kicks out! Nikki grabs Jordan and pulls him up before Nikkki slugs Jordan hard into the face. Jordan falls back into the ropes and gets caught up in them by the neck! Nikki kicking at Jordan before the referee intervenes to untie Jordan from the ropes before he is completely strangled. But the damage has been done for sure! Nikki with a big overhead chop takes Jordan down and he is holding his throat in pain as Nikki grabs him by the legs and flips him around into a Boston Crab position! Jordan yells out in pain and he might have to tap out here!
Gavin Kirkland: HE TAPS! DING! DING! DING!
Eve: No he doesn’t! Jordan Perkins is fighting through the pain to get to the ropes! He reaches out and he gets there just in time! Nikki Kimura shoves the referee but he warns her not to test him. It looks like Nikki might just completely lose her shit this week and after what happened at Reasonable Doubt nobody can blame her! Nikki slams Jordan’s head into the turnbuckle before he falls back towards her and Nikki lifts up Jordan and drops him with a Body Slam. Nikki is showing impressive strength as she picks Jordan up and whips him across the the ring. But Jordan comes back and hits Nikki out of nowhere with a Running Knee Strike! Jordan drops Nikki and she goes down! Jordan to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: Nikki Kimura gets her leg on the bottom rope! Damn that was really close! Jordan Perkins goes to pick up Nikki-
Eve: But wait! Jordan Perkins is staggering backwards holding his head! He is a bit dizzy from the blood loss. He wipes the blood from his forehead out of his eyes and goes to pick Nikki up again. But he falls down to one knee and Nikki immediately takes advantage by punching at his face! Jordan goes down and he falls onto the mat as Nikki climbs on top of him and begins to unload with repeated strikes right to the skull. Nikki picks up Jordan and runs him hard into the corner turnbuckle. Jordan is slugged hard in the face and falls out of the ring. He doesn’t seem to know where he is as he pulls himself back up.
Deadprez: Nikki Kimura grabs Jordan Perkins and runs him into the ring barricade before throwing him back into the ring and slamming him down hard on the mat. Nikki then goes up to the top rope! She leaps off the top with a Flying Frog Splash!!! Nikki might have this here!
Eve: But wait she’s not going for a cover?!?! The referee might need to decide to step in and stop this here as Jordan has been taking serious punishme-
Deadprez: You might have spoken too soon there! Jordan Perkins with a headbutt out of nowhere! Jordan is fighting back now and hitting Nikki Kimura with everything he’s got! Jordan picks up Nikki and hurls her as hard as he can with a Buckle Bomb! Jordan then leaps up and drops her with a Jumping DDT spiking Nikki hard into the mat! Cover her! Cover her right now!
Eve: But he’s not finished! Jordan Perkins pulls Nikki Kimura up into the Gambit’s Draw!!!
Deadprez: But she slips out of it! Nikki Kimura with a Superkick drops Jordan Perkins putting an end to his brief rebellion! Nikki falls back into the corner and she is recovering as she did not expect Jordan to come back like that. Maybe she should have just pinned him…
Gavin Kirkland: But now Jordan is slowly getting back up. Nikki charges in!!! KAMIGOYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Eve: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Nikki Kimura just Knee Striked the head right off Jordan’s body! Nikki to the cover and this is a surefire one two three!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner! NIKKI! KIMURA!!!!!!!!!!!
(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to loud cheers from the crowd as Nikki Kimura has her arm raised in victory.)
Eve: Wow what a great showing there by Nikki Kimura! She has silenced any and all doubters tonight!
Deadprez: If anyone thought she fell off after losing the Specialists Championship they should check out this match as that is clearly not the case! It is only a matter of time before she gets what she wants and I can’t see her being without gold around her waist for long!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Daredevil: Dead Again starring Deadprez.)
(The camera returns to the ring where there is a brief break in all the Showdown action. The silence lasts only a few moments longer before we hear the sounds of “Faneto” by Chief Keef playing throughout the arena before SOSA Henderson enters the arena to decent cheers from the crowd. He is not in his standard SOSA entrance attire because he looks like he really has something on his mind as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the ring at this time… “BULLETPROOF” SOSA HENDERSON!
Deadprez: Here comes SOSA Henderson coming to the ring and from the look on his face, he might have something to say. Last week was the first time since Reasonable Doubt that we heard anything from SOSA after he lost the National Elite Championship.
Gavin Kirkland: OHHH! Please don’t remind me. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy that Cody Maverick won his first Championship of his career at Reasonable Doubt, but I was so excited to see how the SOSA Era was going to unfold.
Eve: We heard last week after we saw Miku Sakai have a mental breakdown that SOSA Henderson and Cody Maverick were going to battle it out again. He guaranteed it.
Deadprez: Myself, like many others, will no doubt be ready for when Cody and SOSA compete against each other again. For right now, let’s see what SOSA Henderson has to say.
(SOSA grabs a microphone from Gina before he slides into the ring. His music has faded off, but the crowd keeps reacting for a moment longer before the quiet down and SOSA begins to speak.)
SOSA Henderson: Reasonable Doubt wasn’t exactly the best week for me. But I get it. I understand that I am no longer the National Elite Champion. I understand that Cody Maverick is now the National Elite Champion. I also understand that Miku Sakai is being all pissy and bitchy that she isn’t the champion… but I really could care less.
SOSA Henderson: While being National Elite Champion was great, there is only one thing that I care about right now and that is becoming World Champion again. You see, when I was World Champion over on Voltage, it was an indescribable feeling.
SOSA Henderson: It was such a rush and a sensation being on top of the world. Being the number one guy. Everything. Even after losing the World Championship, that hunger never left… even though I chose to cash in my contract on the National Elite Championship.
SOSA Henderson: Because the truth of the matter… is that this was ALWAYS about the Answers World Championship. It always has been and it always will be because I will not stop until—
(Before SOSA could continue talking, he is cut off by “Enemy” by From Ashes to New playing throughout the arena. Whatever positive reaction that was coming from the fans is completely gone as the Answers World Champion Donovan Duke enters the arena. The crowd is just pummeling Donovan with jeers and boos. Donovan is wearing his gear and a Silas World shirt due to his match later on tonight. He has designer sunglasses on his face and the Answers World Championship on his shoulder as he heads to the ring.)
Eve: You know we really shouldn’t be surprised that Donovan Duke is making his way to the ring after SOSA said the words “Answers World Championship”. He’s been called a lot of things, but if I can give him anything….
Deadprez: Don’t do that, Eve. Don’t give him any credit.
Eve: Well… like him or hate him, you have to give credit to Donovan’s ability to not back down from a challenge.
Gavin Kirkland: Are we sure that nobody was able to jam the lock of Donovan’s room at the insane asylum. Man is a damn deranged and crazy bastard.
Deadprez: Aren’t we lucky? But Donovan is still the Answers World Champion with a lot of people coming after him, but he doesn’t care. I really don’t wanna hear what he has to say, but it looks like we might not have a choice in the matter. Oh boy. This is gonna be good.
(Donovan grabs a microphone from Gina as well, but shoots her a look before he enters the ring. Donovan takes off his sunglasses and puts them on his shirt as his entrance music fades off and he begins to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Well. Well. We–
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Donovan Duke: Do we seriously have to do this shit every fucking week? SHOW SOME RESPECT TO YOUR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION BY SHUTTING UP AND LETTING THE CHAMP SPEAK!
SOSA Henderson: Come on, guys. Letting the lunatic talk. This ought to be good, especially coming from this nutcase.
Donovan Duke: Watch your mouth! Anyways, you wanna be the Answers World Champion?
SOSA Henderson: Yeah. You know as well as anybody that the Answers World Championship has been about for me… and YOU… since the beginning.
Donovan Duke: Wow. I understand where you are coming from. Since you put it that way… NO!
SOSA Henderson: No?
Donovan Duke: That’s right. NO! You had your chance at becoming the Answers World Champion by cashing in your contract, but you decided to cash in on the National Elite Championship.
Donovan Duke: As far as I am concerned, that doesn’t give you any right to just LAH-DE-DAH yourself to getting the next shot at MY title. You can just move your ass right into the line of contenders and wait your turn.
SOSA Henderson: I knew you were going to say something crazy.
Donovan Duke: Crazy? Me crazy? I’m not crazy.
SOSA Henderson: Oh you have a damn screw loose and don’t try to tell any of us differently.
Donovan Duke: But how is telling you to wait your turn falling under the category of crazy?
SOSA Henderson: Because from what I see, you don’t have a number one contender for your Answers World Championship.
Donovan Duke: And you think that you should be the next challenger?
SOSA Henderson: I don’t think that’s a bad idea to be honest.
Donovan Duke: That’s all it’s going to be is an idea, because your ass just needs to get in line.
SOSA Henderson: If you ask me, I think you are a little bit nervous to defend your title against me?
(Donovan looks at SOSA before he starts laughing at what SOSA has to say.)
Donovan Duke: Oh man, that is absolutely hilarious thinking I am nervous to fight you. You must be joking… WAIT! You’re not funny, so you are serious? Fuck, SOSA, did you knock a few brain cells loose or something? What makes you think that I am nervous to EVER fight you?
SOSA Henderson: Because you couldn’t beat me at Midsummer Massacre. If you couldn’t beat me then, what makes you think the result won’t be any different?
Donovan Duke: Oh, don’t pull that shit with me, SOSA! You know damn well that the only way you were able to beat me then was by cheating. You can’t beat me in a fair fight, and you know it!
SOSA Henderson: Fair fight? Do you even know what a fair fight is anymore?
Donovan Duke: Well, duh! I know exactly what a fair fight is because my last two title defenses have been fair fights.
SOSA Henderson: That’s why I think you sound crazy. Saying shit like that like you are in your own little world.
Donovan Duke: Of course I am in my world. You all are just living in it. But let me make things perfectly clear. I don’t care how much you want to face me. I don’t care if your goals have always been towards becoming World Champion. I am the champ. I am the star, and you are just going to have to wait your turn to get a shot at MY title. When that time comes when you get a shot at the Answers World Championship, it won’t end pretty. I guarantee it.
(Donovan holds the Answers World Championship in the air one more time as “Enemy” starts playing again before he leaves the ring. Donovan stands at the base of the entrance ramp and puts on his sunglasses once more before walking up the entrance ramp.)
Eve: Well, this is certainly an interesting development going on. SOSA wants to be the Answers World Champion. Donovan Duke says no chance in hell and to get in the line of contenders. THEN you might get a shot at the title.
Gavin Kirkland: These two have had history throughout this season when both men were contract holders. SOSA went for the National Elite Championship while Donovan infamously went for the Answers World Championship.
Deadprez: With everything that has been said in that ring, I wouldn’t be surprised to see if SOSA Henderson also becomes a future Challenger for the Answers World Champion. If Donovan has his way, SOSA would be waiting in line. Will this rivalry heat up again? I guess that remains to be seen.
(The final shot shows Donovan Duke standing at the top of the entrance ramp with SOSA still watching from the ring. Donovan has a devilish smirk on his face as he raises the Answers World Championship one more time before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
Gina Romano: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONEFALL…
( “VKL” by Rain hits as SORN comes strolling out, he strikes a pose on the stage before he goes pacing down to the ring. He gives a couple high fives to the people at ringside. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM OSAKA JAPAN, WEIGHTING IN AT 167 POUNDS! “THE RISING TALENT” SORN!
(“Prices” by Lil Uzi Vert began to replace SORN music, he stood on stage for a moment as soon as he walked out, he took in the crowd and then directed his focus to his opponent in the ring. He then starts to make his way down the ramp alongside a group of Druids.)
Gina Romano: Introducing the challenger, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighting in at 220 pounds! THE RULER OF EVERYTHING!
DING! DING! DING!
Gavin Kirkland: And we are underway! SORN versus Ruler. The tension is thick, and neither of them is taking their eyes off the other!
Eve: Both competitors step forward- Ruler extends his arms, almost daring SORN into a lock-up- BUT SORN RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY WITH A LIGHTNING-FAST SPINNING BACK KICK TO THE GUT! Ruler stumbles back BUT FIRES OFF A STIFF ELBOW STRIKE TO THE HEAD! SORN STAGGERS— RULER FOLLOWS UP WITH A SHARP FOREARM SMASH TO THE JAW!
Deadprez: That rocked SORN, but he isn’t backing down! HE FIRES BACK WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! AND ANOTHER! Ruler stumbles— SORN GRABS HIS ARM! JAPANESE ARM DRAG! Ruler rolls through, popping back up— BUT SORN TAKES HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Gavin Kirkland: Ruler rolls to his feet— BUT HE WALKS RIGHT INTO A LOW DROPKICK! That sends him stumbling into the ropes! SORN sees an opening—HE CHARGES— BUT RULER DODGES AND SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE—
Eve: WAIT! SORN LANDS ON THE APRON! Ruler turns— SLINGSHOT HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN! Ruler is flipped across the ring, but he scrambles to his feet! SORN SPRINTS WRECKING BALL DROPKICK!!! Ruler is sent flying through the ropes and crashing to the outside!
Deadprez: SORN is on fire! He sees Ruler down and out near the barricade— HE SPRINTS TO THE ROPES CORKSCREW PESCADO!!! BUT NO!!! RULER MOVES AND SORN CRASHES HARD ON THE FLOOR!!!

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…SORN!
Eve: SORN HAS DONE IT!!!
Deadprez: WHAT A MATCH! THESE TWO THREW EVERYTHING AT EACH OTHER, BUT IN THE END, SORN SURVIVES!!!
( SORN stands up and starts celebrating, such a huge win and he was going to savor it! However, when he turns around he sees Ruler standing up and looking at him. Along with the Druids, surrounding the ring. )
Gavin Kirkland: If I was SORN, I would try to get the hell out of there!
( SORN gets ready to fight but suddenly… )
…
( The arena goes black. )
( Ruler disappears along with his Druids, SORN was confused along with everyone else. )
Eve: It looks like…Ruler spared SORN but where did they go?
Deadprez: I could never tell with that guy.
( The scene fades with a card with Ruler’s symbol on it. )
(The camera cuts backstage to the interview area where Kyra Phillips is shown smiling and enjoying the show.)
Kyra Phillips: Wow! What a great Showdown so far! I’m here now with a very special guest! Please welcome… Roberto De La Rosa!!!
(Roberto De La Rosa steps into the camera frame looking happy to be there as he stands next to Kyra.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Thank you for having me here tonight Kyra. Gracias mamacita.
Kyra Phillips: De nada papi. I know that you have to be happy here tonight after your win last week.
Roberto De La Rosa: I sure am. I won big last week and I am real happy about it.
Kyra Phillips: Congratulations again!
Roberto De La Rosa: ORALE! I might have won last week but I know that I need to step it up chica. These last few months have shown me that. I’m not fucking around no longer. I need to make a move and I need to make a move now. Which I why I BEEN movin’.
Kyra Phillips: Oh really Roberto? That’s so interesting! Tell me more! What do you have planned?
Roberto De La Rosa: Well you see Kyra I am going to be… Wait a minute! I’m not going to come out here on camera and reveal all of my secret schemes. I ain’t no idiota! I am scheming and my plans shall come to fruition and that will be real bad news for everyone else on Showdown.
Kyra Phillips: Come on. Tell me. Just a lil bit…
Roberto De La Rosa: Fine. You real curious huh chica? How about I just leave you with this. With Roberto De La Rosa… anything is possible! But… I intend to make it happen.
Kyra Phillips: Make what happen?
Roberto De La Rosa: …
Kyra Phillips: ???
Roberto De La Rosa: IT!
Kyra Phillips: Damn. I’m hyped now for sure!
Roberto De La Rosa: Orale as you should be! Because when Roberto De La Rosa hypes something up the entire mundo takes notice! I have won championships. I have beaten wrestlers who most people in this company couldn’t last 90 seconds in the ring with! So don’t take me lightly when I make promises like this. Because 2025 is only 3 months in, and we are almost on the road to Pain for Pride. Anything is possible! And when you are El Padrastro… everything is possible!
Kyra Phillips: Hell yeah hermano! I can’t wait to see what you have in store. I am hyped and I am sure that you are going to have an amazing Pain for Pride season. I wonder if you will-
(Suddenly…)
???: Hmmm that is a very exciting declaration if I do say so myself!
(The crowd in the arena boos heavily as Silas Mason struts into camera view smiling widely with his arms outstretched towards Roberto. Roberto folds his arms and looks at Silas in confusion.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Que pasa? Fuck you want?
Silas Mason: Whoa that’s a bit too spicy for my tastes vato! Calm down! Tranquilo! I am here as a friend. It’s my Silas your good amigo.
Roberto De La Rosa: You got about ten seconds to explain why you are speaking to me gringo before I drop you with a Mexican Destroyer.
Silas Mason: Don’t worry! I’ll be quick! My ex-wives always said it was my best quality! Sorry bad joke. No time for that. Iight listen…
Roberto De La Rosa: Five seconds… Cinco… Cuatro… Tres…
Silas Mason: Hold up hold up! Listen! You say that you want to accomplish something. But I was standing over there enthralled by your words. But I couldn’t help but notice you were standing over here. All by yourself. And I felt a bit of sympathy not gonna lie… I know you remember that I was the one who set you up to get that Hardcore Championship. Unfortunately, you failed completely in that attempt…
(Roberto De La Rosa moves closer to Silas Mason.)
Silas Mason: Wait! You failed… but it was because you are standing alone! And amigo… you do not need to stand alone!
(Roberto De La Rosa reaches out towards the neck of Silas Mason. But Silas quickly reaches out with his business card and places it in the hand of Roberto before he can touch him.)
Silas Mason: Just think about it mi mejor amigo. <3 <3 <3
(Silas Mason walks away as Roberto De La Rosa stares at the business card thoughtfully.)
Kyra Phillips: So, uh… Roberto… Would you really join Silas World? After everything they have done? You have seen what they have done to Elysium, Nikki Kimura, Kennedy Street, and more. Do you really want to get involved with a group like that? Not to mention the history you have with Brianna Hill…
(Roberto De La Rosa turns towards Kyra Phillips to respond.)
Roberto De La Rosa: …
(Roberto De La Rosa suddenly turns around and leaves as Kyra Phillips looks on in confusion.)
(The camera cuts back to ringside for the next match.)
(The camera shot then cuts to a different part of the backstage area where Mikaela Street is standing in front of a Showdown banner and monitor. She has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she begins to speak.)
Mikaela Street: Ladies and gentlemen, the action on Showdown tonight has been hot and the best is yet to come, especially with that huge six person tag team main event. But as awesome and as hard hitting as the action is on Showdown right now and what is to come, all of the Elitists of Elite Answers Wrestling are on the road to Pain for Pride. But before we reach Pain for Pride, the next exclusive event that we are all heading to is the one and only Grand Rampage.
Mikaela Street: Of course, with the Grand Rampage event comes its namesake Grand Rampage match. 30 Competitors battling it out for the chance to win the match and win themselves a main event World Championship at Pain for Pride.
(The monitor changes from the Showdown logo to the Grand Rampage logo showing the countdown of how many days there are left until Grand Rampage weekend. Mikaela turns her head and makes a motion towards the monitor before turning back to the camera.)
Mikaela Street: We might have about a month until we reach Grand Rampage weekend, but with the discussion of the Grand Rampage being a very hot topic, we have already heard about other wrestlers staking their claim and announcing their entry to be part of the huge 30 person over the top rope match especially with the rewards that come with being the lucky participant who is able to reach the point of being called the last person standing.
Mikaela Street: Which leads to a question that has been asked time and time again on social media or on the streets? What about Showdown?
(The smile on Mikaela gets a little bigger as the countdown on the monitor behind her changes back to the Showdown logo. There is no doubt something on Mikaela’s mind as she starts to speak again.)
Mikaela Street: Well, I am so excited to let you know that I have an exclusive interview right here and right with an Elitist who has requested this time to talk. Without any further ado, please allow me to welcome at this time a former World Champion. The one. The only. T! L! A!
(TLA appears on screen and stands next to Mikaela, which elicits an extremely positive reaction from the crowd. TLA is in his wrestling gear as he has a match later on tonight. Mikaela still has her smile as she starts to speak.)
Mikaela Street: TLA, I know you are a very busy man considering you have a huge match coming up later tonight against Silas World, so let me tell you that I appreciate you making time out of your busy schedule to request some time to speak to us.
TLA: Don’t think much of it, Mikaela. That match is going to be a breeze as myself, Ryan Joseph Wilson, and Cody Maverick beat the hell out of that purple haired puta and that psycho bastard boyfriend of hers along with their new friend. But that’s enough about them.
Mikaela Street: That is very understandable, and we can bring up the match in just a few moments. Let me go ahead and ask my first question if you are ready.
(TLA looks at Mikaela and nods his head with a smirk on his face.)
TLA: I am absolutely ready for whatever you want to ask. Ask away, Mikaela.
Mikaela Street: Thank you. First off, would it be safe for me to think and assume that what we are going to be talking about is the Grand Rampage match. Would that be a correct assumption?
TLA: Your assumption would be correct. With your talk about Grand Rampage, it’s only natural that I join in on all the Grand Rampage discussion. I mean what better source of information about the Grand Rampage but me considering that I have been
Mikaela Street: You are pretty experienced when it comes to participating in the Grand Rampage match. With the amount of experience, you have been battling it out in the Grand Rampage against 29 other competitors. With that being said, what does the Grand Rampage match mean to you?
TLA: I mean when you hear the words “Grand Rampage” coming out of everybody’s mouth. You know that we are officially on the road to Pain for Pride, and it couldn’t be any more exciting. That’s when everybody’s game really starts to step up because of what’s at stake in the Grand Rampage match.
Mikaela Street: Would it be safe to say that the Grand Rampage match holds a special place in your heart?
TLA: For the history and the excitement that the match provides? Sure, we can say that. But that’s about as special as it gets. I mean it would be a little more special if I have won the Grand Rampage match, but that’s another accolade that I am still looking for in my career.
(TLA simply shrugs at the thought of him not being a Grand Rampage winner in his illustrious career, but it is what it is.)
TLA: Anyways, the Grand Rampage match is about an opportunity to get a main event World Championship match at Pain for Pride. The biggest event of the season where anything can happen. The Grand Rampage is the perfect match for people whose opportunities to become World Champion.
TLA: It’s also perfect for people like me who see the Grand Rampage as the perfect way to find themselves a chance to get their way back to the Main Event of Pain for Pride. Do you understand where I’m coming from, Mikaela?
Mikaela Street: I think I know exactly what you mean. A big victory in the Grand Rampage can easily lead to big rewards if everything goes right for you.
TLA: Exactly! Pretty and smart, Mikaela. You are good at your job. Grand Rampage is the perfect match for me to win and go to Pain for Pride as I look to take MY Answers World Championship away from that delusional psycho bastard who is currently holding it hostage.
Mikaela Street: With that being said, would it also be safe to assume that I already know what you are going to say in about ten seconds.
TLA: You are two for two in your assumptions, Mikaela. Once again, you are correct. Because The Baddest Hombre on the Planet, TLA, is officially throwing his name into the 2025 Grand Rampage match.
(The crowd immediately started cheering wildly after TLA made his declaration. TLA had to have heard the crowd cheering with as loud as they are right now because the smile on TLA’s face gets even bigger.)
TLA: That’s right. This hombre is going into the Grand Rampage, and he is going to leave as the winner. Then he is going to Pain for Pride to become World Champion once again and reset things back to normal because it’s what everybody deserves.
Mikaela Street: That was a very impressive statement you made right now. Well, allow me to be the first person to wish you the best of luck as you head towards the Grand Rampage match because there is no doubt that many people are going to be rooting for you and your declaration for the match almost considers you one of the favorites.
TLA: Greatly appreciated. It would be great to win the first Grand Rampage of my career and add that achievement to my resume.
Mikaela Street: I would also like to wish you good luck for your match later on tonight against Silas World.
TLA: Again. It’s greatly appreciated, but there really is no luck needed against those assholes in Silas World. They are going to get exactly what’s coming to them.
(TLA offers a smile to Mikaela before patting her on the shoulder and walking away. Mikaela looks in the direction that TLA walked away before she turned back to the camera with a smile back on her face.)
Mikaela Street: Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. We are still about a month out from Grand Rampage and the Grand Rampage match just got interesting with the inclusion of Showdown’s first Elitist in the form of a former World Champion and Hall of Famer in TLA!
Mikaela Street: Later on, tonight, TLA will be teaming with his Hustler’s Alliance partner Ryan Joseph Wilson and the National Elite Champion Cody Maverick to take on Harper Lee, the Specialists Champion Brianna Hill and the Answers World Champion Donovan Duke of Silas World in Six Person tag team action. That is going to be a hell of a match. Right now, let’s send it back to Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin at ringside for more Showdown action.
(The final shot has Mikaela holding onto the microphone with a big smile on her face as the camera shot cuts elsewhere….)
(Showdown comes back from commercials, as the camera focuses on the commentator’s table, with Auburn Ware sitting with a smile on her face.)
Eve: We are back, and accompanying us in this match is none other than the Prodigy herself, Auburn Ware!
Auburn Ware: Pleasure to be here!
Gavin Kirkland: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Aubuuuuuuuurnnnnn!!! 😍
Auburn Ware: Ew.
Gavin Kirkland: Man.
(The camera now focuses on the entrance ramp as “Oro de Ley” by Luis Miguel plays on the speakers, Jadeite moves out towards the ramp along some cheers from the crowd, keeping her focused expression on her face, but despite the focus and seriousness on her face, there a is tint of anger in it as she knows she has something to prove in this match, and personally, she really wants to beat up her opponent for her insolence. She walks forward down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM YOKOHAMA JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS, SHE IS “THE SUN GODDESS”, JADEEEEIIITEEEEEE!!!
Eve: A lot being seen in Jadeite’s expression, she truly wants to prove herself here in this company and she has to deal again with a woman that was nothing but a pain in her ass the first time that she met her on her debut.
Deadprez: Aye, she has her chance at beating her up again, all she has to do is focus on what is in front of her and make sure to not let up, if she can do that, then I am sure she will be able to succeed tonight, she just can’t make another mistake again.
(Jadeite moves quickly into the ring, taking off her ring jacket and then waiting patiently in her corner. “Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speakers and the crowd begins to boo loudly, Grace de Luca walks out with a gigantic smirk on her face, she adjusts the hat in her head and then she spins around, posing and showing off to the crowd as she walks down with confidence in her step.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS, SHE IS “THE PARADIGM OF PERFECTION”, GRACEEEEEEEEEEEE DE LUCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT BACK LIKE SHE NEVER LEFT, READY TO KICK ASS AGAIN!
Eve: Because she didn’t even leave in the first place, what?
Deadprez: Grace looking confident as hell as she walks down the ramp, obviously since the last time she faced Jadeite, she was able to win the match… amidst clear controversy!
Gavin Kirkland: What controversy?!
Eve: Sigh, anyway, Grace is obviously looking forward to winning this match, high off the last match against Jadeite, but she can’t get too overconfident, or Jadeite might take the win for herself when she least expects it!
(Grace finally gets to the ring, setting her hat down over in the steel steps and then hopping inside, she sits in her own corner with a big smile on her face as the competitors wait and the bell rings.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE MATCH IS UNDERWAY!
Eve: AND RIGHT AS SOON AS THE BELL RINGS, JADEITE RUSHES OUT OF THE CORNER LIKE A MADWOMAN AND GOES STRAIGHT TOWARDS GRACE DE LUCA, NOT STOPPING FOR A SINGLE SECOND AND WANTING TO TAKE HER HEAD CLEAN OFF!
Deadprez: IT DOES NOT TAKE GRACE LONG TO SEE THIS AND AT THE LAST SECOND, SHE IS ABLE TO DUCK DOWN AND ROLL THROUGH UNDER JADEITE! GRACE MOVES QUICKLY AND THEN GOES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AS WELL, GRABBING ONTO HER CHEST IN A PANICKED MANNER AND TRYING HER BEST TO GET AWAY FROM JADEITE!
Auburn Ware: Well, that is not very wrestler-like, huh?
Eve: You tell me. Grace is trying her best right now to somehow, someway, not try to wrestle Jadeite and face her full-on, she ended up trying to do this their last match and of course, no surprise, she is trying it yet again on this match for some reason.
Auburn Ware: No offense, obviously, but I am pretty sure that you have to go through some kind of training routine to be able to become a wrestler and know how to wrestle. I do wonder what Grace’s training regimen is after seeing her.
Deadprez: Well, it ain’t sure a good one because she is not even trying to throw a punch, hell, she is already going to turn the corner-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE IS QUICKLY STOPPED RIGHT ON HER TRACKS AS JADEITE RUNS ACROSS THE RING, GATHERING SPEED BEFORE DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES AND THEN TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD! She is now starting to beat her up as well while she is on the ground as well, a lady like that with such a pretty face should not deserve all of that if you ask me!
Eve: I think her actions are what ended up getting her here in the first place if you ask me! If she wasn’t such a… slippery woman then she would have not angered someone like Jadeite in the first place, and after everything that she tried to pull off in their first match, it is fair to say that Jadeite is not going to be so merciful anymore.
Deadprez: Aye, I can agree with that because after she delivers some nasty-looking punches, she just picks Grace up to her feet and then lifts her up… BEFORE JUST DROPPING HER BACK FIRST ON TOP OF THE BARRICADES! DAMN, THAT HURT!
Auburn Ware: Gosh, I could hear those high-pitched screams even from here…
Gavin Kirkland: Look, it is okay, it is inevitable that you will have some bad luck in some days and you might get dropped hard on some conveniently placed barricades, but I assure you that she will bounce back- Oh, and now Jadeite is slamming her against the steel steps.
Eve: Finally, Jadeite has enough and then throws her back inside of the ring, knowing that the referee’s count was inching towards 10! She rolls inside and then waits for the weakened Grace to get up, Grace wobbling for a bit and trying to get back to her senses but Jadeite runs forward… AND THEN GETS HER RIGHT ON THE JAW WITH A SUDDEN KNEE LIFT! GRACE GETS ROCKED YET AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: Aw man, my poor angel loses her wings again.
Deadprez: Please don’t tell me you call every woman that you meet your poor angel.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, of course not! I just call them various nicknames that come up on my head-
Deadprez: ALRIGHT, JADEITE DROPS FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Auburn Ware: But Grace is able to kick out in time right before the three count! Frankly, I didn’t actually expect her to kick out of that one, but you can never judge a book by its cover, even if the cover is annoyingly very pink.
Gavin Kirkland: What is wrong with pink?
Auburn Ware: I was trying to say she was annoying, Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh.
Eve: Jadeite gets off of Grace and it is clear in her expression that she is pretty annoyed at her opponent that is laying down on the ground. Even Grace is trying her best to crawl forward and somehow get away from Jadeite, but Jadeite goes to stomp hard onto the back of her leg!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! Grace is able to roll away just in time, and then she is ready to pull off an incredibly cool looking move- oh, okay, now she is just laying on her back huffing and puffing trying to get her breath back, maybe she didn’t have time to take any training before this match, you guys!
Deadprez: How the hell is she out of breath by this point?!
Eve: Jadeite is completely dumbfounded at this, and she isn’t even sure if to attack now or actually give Grace the chance to get her breath back, but after the tricks that Grace has been trying to pull against her for so long, she isn’t even giving her the benefit of the doubt and then she goes to stomp-
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE SUDDENLY MOVES AND THEN SHE STOMPS HARD AGAINST JADEITE’S KNEE! IT WAS A TRICK TO LOWER HER GUARD DOWN ALL ALONG, SHE IS A GODDAMN GENIUS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
Eve: GRACE WAS NOT OUT OF BREATH AFTER ALL! JADEITE FALLS TO ONE KNEE AFTER THAT STOMP AND GRACE GRABS ONTO HER, PULLING INTO HER INTO A PACKAGE PIN! WILL GRACE GET IT?
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Unsurprisingly, that is a two count for the deceiver known as Grace de Luca!
Auburn Ware: I even think calling her deceiver is not enough if you ask me for my humble opinion.
Gavin Kirkland: Pft, non-believers! SEE WITH YOUR EYES BECAUSE AS SOON AS JADEITE TRIES TO GET UP, GRACE IS ABLE TO GET UP FASTER THAN HER AND THEN HIT AN ENZUIGIRI RIGHT TO HER HEAD! GRACE DE LUCA DOES IT AGAIN!
Eve: Of course, after that, Grace gets up yet again towards her feet and then she starts celebrating prematurely. Match hasn’t even ended!
Deadprez: The crowd ends up booing the hell out of her, and a disgusted expression forms in Grace’s face, she ends up waving them off and then she turns towards the knocked down Jadeite and now she starts stomping a mudhole on her while she is down! Is that how she is going to continue doing everytime that she has to face another wrestler with any kind of skill?
Auburn Ware: After being in EAW for over a year now, I have come to the conclusion that it is inevitable people will like this end up arriving here and try to achieve anything by hook and crook, but there is no doubt that there are some wrestlers who grew from that kind of phase and instead put effort into their craft, you have to wonder if Grace will be the kind of person to end up having that kind of love at the end of the day.
Eve: Wonder indeed, because she is now in control of the match and she is using the time in the world to try and weaken Jadeite further, because as Jadeite tries to go and get up to her feet with the help of the ropes, GRACE LIFTS HER OWN KNEE AND THEN SHE KNEES ONE OF JADEITE’S ARMS BEFORE SHE CAN GET TO THE LAST ROPE!
Deadprez: GRACE GRABS ONTO HER HEAD AND THEN SHE USES HER SPEED TO HER ADVANTAGE, JUMPING OFF THE ROPES AND THEN SPINNING AROUND BEFORE HITTING A TORNADO DDT ON JADEITE AND SLAMMING HER HEAD AGAINST THE MIDDLE OF THE MAT! Yet again Grace makes sure that Jadeite can’t get any advantage over her and gives her the consequences that she deserves!
Eve: The crowd keeps booing in response towards Grace’s actions, as she completely ignores them and then she turns at Jadeite, grabbing onto her hair and then pulling her up towards her knees before yet again Grace lifts her hand up high in the air… what the heck is she going to do now?
Gavin Kirkland: OOOOOOHHHH, YOU ALL BETTER GET READY FOR THIS NOW! GRACE IS PREPARING ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOVES IN HER ARSENAL! JADEITE IS GOING TO BE IN A WORLD OF HURT RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: Man, I am this close to ordering some take out if this guy is going to continue going on.
Eve: Jadeite is trying her best to get up and come to her senses right now as finally, Grace sees her opportunity… AND THEN SHE TAKES IT!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE LOCKS IN THE IRON CLAW RIGHT ON JADEITE’S FACE! IT’S OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
(…)
(…)
Eve: …
Deadprez: …
Auburn Ware: …
Crowd: …
(The only one that is making any noise is Grace trying to “squeeze the life” out of Jadeite, but Jadeite looks completely unbothered with Grace’s hand stuck right on her face.)
Gavin Kirkland: …Look guys, this kind of special technique takes some time to be able to take effect, I am sure it will all work out at the end.
Eve: JADEITE SUDDENLY RISES UP TO HER FEET AND THEN PUSHES GRACE’S HAND OFF OF HER FACE, BEFORE DELIVERING A POWERFUL HEADBUTT RIGHT TOWARDS HER HEAD!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I see some things are not meant to be then.
Deadprez: GRACE IS COMPLETELY TAKEN OFF GUARD WITH THAT ONE AND HER MIND MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLD BECAUSE JADEITE GRABS ONTO HER, PULLING HER AND THEN HITTING A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING ARM DRAG THAT SENDS GRACE FLYING!
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE HITS HARD AGAINST THE MAT BUT SHE PUSHES HERSELF UP TO HER FEET, BECAUSE SHE IS A WARRIOR AND A FIGHTER WILLING TO WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!!
Eve: BUT AS GRACE PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN AND GOES TO TRY AND THROW ANY KIND OF PUNCH, JADEITE GRABS ONTO HER HAND AND THEN SHE PULLS HER OVER AGAIN, GOING FOR A HIP TOSS WHERE GRACE ENDS UP GETTING SLAMMED RIGHT INTO JADEITE’S KNEE! THAT LOOKED BRUTAL!
Deadprez: AND JADEITE IS NOT DONE AT ALL AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD TOWARDS THE ROPES AND THEN SHE USES THE MOMENTUM TO RUN AT GRACE AND THEN HIT HER RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK WITH A SOCCER KICK!
Auburn Ware: Now who I am indeed impressed by is Jadeite herself, she’s got some strength and technique to her that can’t be easily replicated, and she is indeed showing Grace who’s boss around here!
Eve: Grace is trying to move as best as she can, but I know she is hurting in every single place and she isn’t sure what to do as Jadeite takes a deep breath and then runs again, going towards the place and gathering momentum once more… BEFORE GOING AND THEN TRYING TO DELIVER A KICK RIGHT TO GRACE’S HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE IS ABLE TO DUCK DOWN IN TIME UNDER THE KICK, OR WELL… uh, it more looked like she collapsed from the pain, BUT LET’S NOT FOCUS ON THE DETAILS! JADEITE FALLS ONTO THE MAT AND THEN GRACE POPS UP, GRABBING ONTO HER HAIR AND THIS TIME PULLING HER UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE CORNER AND THEN THROWING HER INTO IT, SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT AGAINST THE STEEL POST! THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!
Auburn Ware: She is doing something more than running away, that is indeed something to admire at least!
Eve: Only when Jadeite is weak enough! Grace is moving towards the ropes now and actually planning to pull off a move here! As she moves to jump onto them, and then bounces off them…
Deadprez: She lands right on top of the slouched over Jadeite!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN SHE PULLS HER DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! SHE IS EXPANDING THE BAG MATCH BY MATCH, THAT IS MY GOAT EVOLVING AND GETTING BETTER RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES!
Eve: Did you just admit that she doesn’t have a big enough bag to wrestle in the first place?
Gavin Kirkland: Okay, I did NOT say that kind of thing about my GOAT… I am just saying that she’s holding back, uh-huh!
Eve: …riiiight. OKAY THEN! GRACE IS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SUNSET FLIP AND THEN SHE ENDS UP GRABBING ONTO JADEITE AND PULLS HER UP TO HER FEET, LIFTING HER UP… AND THEN SUCCESFULLY HITTING THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER! GRACE HITS “PERFECTION PLEX” ONTO JADEITE AND NOW SHE RUSHES TO COVER, TRYING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: JADEITE STILL STAYS ALIVE AND SHE IS ABLE TO KICK OUT RIGHT IN TIME BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! GRACE CAN NOT BELIEVE IT AND HER EYES WIDEN IN COMPLETE SURPRISE, HER SHOCK NOW STARTING TO TURN INTO ANGER!
Auburn Ware: Jadeite is not going down so easily like last time they met, that is for sure!
Eve: GRACE IS SHOWING THAT SHE IS GETTING DESPERATE NOW AND GRABBING HARDLY ONTO JADEITE! SHE IS PULLING HER UP TO HER FEET AND GRABS ONTO HER ARMS! WE HAVE SEEN THIS TRYING TO BE PULLED OFF BEFORE! AND SHE IS GOING TO DO IT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: “I’M-PRETTIEST!!!”
Deadprez: NO! JADEITE SUDDENLY LIFTS GRACE UP INTO THE AIR AND THEN SPINS HER AROUND, LIFTING HER UP INTO A VERTEBREAKER POSITION AND LOOKING FORWARD WITH A DETERMINED LOOK ON HER FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOO! DON’T YOU DARE DROP HER ON HER PRETTY NECK, JADEITE!
Eve: JADEITE IS TRYING TO HOLD ON TIGHT, BUT GRACE IS STRUGGLING A LOT, DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO NOT GET DROPPED ON HER NECK! AND FINALLY, JADEITE ENDS UP LETTING GO AND GRACE IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF THE HOLD, LANDING ON HER FEET!
Deadprez: GRACE HAS HER OPPORTUNITY NOW AS WITH JADEITE’S BACK FACING HER, SHE SUDDENLY JUMPS UP TO HER SHOULDERS IN A SURPRISING SHOW OF ATHLETICISM AND THEN PULLS DOWN, GOING FOR A REVERSE HURRICANRANA!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GOOOOO! THE BAG IS INFINITE! HER BAG IS NEVER-ENDING!
Eve: NO! JADEITE HOLDS THIS TIME ONTO GRACE’S LEGS BEFORE SHE CAN PULL HER DOWN! SHE SPINS HER AROUND WHILE SHE IS ON HER SHOULDERS AND THEN SHE HITS HER DOWN WITH A HUGE POWERBOMB!
Deadprez: JADEITE GRABS ONTO GRACE AND PULLS HER UP TO HER FEET, RUNNING TOWARDS THE ROPES TO GATHER MOMENTUM YET AGAIN AND THEN RUNNING, GOING FOR A LARIAT TO KNOCK HER HEAD OFF HER SHOULDERS!
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE DUCKS DOWN IN TIME AND JADEITE ENDS UP HITTING THE ROPES INSTEAD, GOING THROUGH THEM-
Eve: AND REBOUNDING BACK FROM THEM LIKE IT IS NOTHING, AS GRACE TURNS STRAIGHT TOWARDS A “SUNDOWN LARIAAAATTTTTTTT!!!” GRACE FLIPS ON IMPACT AND NOW JADEITE RUSHES OVER, GOING TO COVER!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE KICKS OUT! BY GAWD, SHE IS STILL IN THE MATCH! SHE IS STILL LIVING!
Auburn Ware: Wow.
Eve: GRACE IS STILL KICKING AND DESPITE HER PAIN, SHE IS YET AGAIN CRAWLING AND TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM JADEITE! BUT JADEITE HAS HAD ENOUGH, SHE PUSHES HERSELF UP TO HER FEET AND THEN MOVES AS BEST AS SHE CAN TOWARDS GRACE, TRYING TO GRAB ONTO HER FEET AND PREVENT HER FROM ESCAPING!
Gavin Kirkland: Grace only arrives at the corner and grabs on for dear life, Jadeite doing everything in her power to pull away and get to her! The referee is forced to step in to try and get the two to back away, otherwise he has to do the 5 count-
( THUD! )
Gavin Kirkland: …huh?
Auburn Ware: …did the referee just trip?
Eve: Wait, did Grace just make the referee trip?!
Deadprez: THAT DAMN SCOUNDREL OF A WOMAN! SHE SUDDENLY TURNS AND THEN SHE SPRAYS JADEITE IN THE FACE WITH SOMETHING!
Eve: SHE HAS A HAIRSPRAY CAN! WHERE DID SHE GET THAT?!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE HID IT IN THAT CUTE HAT SHE ALWAYS WEARS WHEN WALKING DOWN TO THE RING! SHE LEFT IT BY THE STEEL STEPS AND GRABBED IT WHILE SHE WAS IN THE CORNER! WHAT A GENIUS!!!
Auburn Ware: Oh brother.
Eve: JADEITE IS COMPLETELY BLIND AS GRACE THROWS AWAY THE CAN AND THEN WITH A GIGANTIC GRIN ON HER FACE, SHE RUNS FORWARD!!!
Gavin Kirkland: “BITTERSWEET CHIN MUSIIIIICCCCCCCC!!!” SHE’S GOT IT! SHE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
Deadprez: THE REFEREE IS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED BUT HE MOVES AND GOES TO COUNT DOWN THE PINFALL!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Genie In A Bottle” plays on the speakers and Grace quickly rolls away from Jadeite, suddenly jumping onto her feet and then cheering incredibly loudly as she pulls off another win for herself, despite the crowd booing heavily at her.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, GRACEEEEE DE LUCAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Eve: …did she just cheat again?
Deadprez: …yep, she just did.
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT DOES IT AGAIN! 2-0! TWO AND OOOOHHHH! DON’T COME BACK AGAIN, JADEITE!
Auburn Ware: Yeah, no, I am not letting this happen.
(Auburn takes off her headset and then leaves the commentator’s table, moving quickly towards the ring and then hopping onto the ring apron, calling for the referee.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wow, wow, wow, what is she doing?
Eve: Auburn is calling for the referee, trying to inform him of the actions that just happened in the last few minutes-
Deadprez: WHOA! GRACE RUNS OUT OF NOWHERE AND THEN SHE SMACKS AUBURN OFF THE RING APRON! TRYING TO STOP HER FROM TELLING!
(Auburn lands down in the ground, grabbing onto her cheek in confusion as slowly, her confusion turns into anger, while Grace’s expression turns into one of pure panic as she sees Auburn.)
Deadprez: AUBURN SUDDENLY SLIDES INSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT GRACE IS ABLE TO RUN AWAY IN TIME! ROLLING OUT AND THEN RUSHING UP THE RAMP! RUUUUNNNNN!!!
(Auburn leans against the ropes, shouting loudly towards Grace as she makes her escape, as all Grace does is throw a quick kiss towards the crowd in the middle of her run, before getting out of there as fast as she can. Showdown fades away from there.)
(The camera cuts backstage to the General Manager’s office where Alana Starr is sitting and he has an annoyed look on her face, which is because of everything that has been going down recently. The stress is really showing as she is rewatching the ending of last week’s Showdown at the spot where Ronan gave Kennedy Street his Death-Ro maneuver not once but TWICE! She stops the video and lets out a groan of frustration as she rests her head on the desk before raising up her head and putting her head in her hands.)
Alana Starr: For the love of gawd. This can NOT be happening. This seriously can NOT be happening! I knew things were going to be rocky when all of this started, but I didn’t even expect things to reach to the point where they would actually put their hands on Kennedy. I can’t believe they did that.
(Alana rubs her temples to the point that she looks like she has a migraine brewing before she puts her head on the desk again as she gets lost in her own thoughts in silence. She stays in that position for a few moments before she gets snapped out of her thoughts when she hears a knock on her door. She doesn’t look up as she responds to the knock.)
Alana Starr: COME IN!!
(Alana still has her head on the desk as the door opens. We can hear footsteps of somebody walking into the office before the door shuts behind the person. They take a few more steps before they speak.)
???: OH! I am sorry to bother you. Did I come in at a bad time?
(Seconds later, Alana immediately snaps her head off the desk. She shakes the cobwebs of being lost in her thoughts as she looks at the person who entered the office.)
Alana Starr: Oh goodness. You are completely fine. I am sorry. I was just lost in my own world for a moment. Umm… do I know you? I don’t think we have met.
(Alana stands up and walks over to the mystery person who entered the GM’s office. Now the person in question is in view and the fans start to go absolutely crazy in very loud cheers for the person.)
Alana Starr: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alana Starr. I am the Assistant… er… well… currently acting General Manager of Showdown. And you are…?
Hurricane Hawk: Hurricane Hawk. Former General Manager of Showdown. It’s a pleasure to meet you face to face.
Alana Starr: It’s a pleasure to meet you as well. I am aware of your history with this company. Former World Champion. EAW Hall of Famer. Former General Manager of Showdown. After looking at your history, I personally thought you did an amazing job.
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. I wish I could have gone out on a better note, but the last two and a half years have been great without the stress. Not gonna lie, I miss this every now and again.
Alana Starr: Is that why you are here? Did the Board ask you to assist me with matters until Kennedy is able to come back to work as General Manager?
(Hurricane Hawk puts his hands up in peace, trying to show that Alana has nothing to worry about and he means no harm.)
Hurricane Hawk: Of course not! I was in the area and wanted to see a few people and see how the new General Manager was handling things.
(Alana puts her hands on her hips and raises her eyebrow at Hurricane Hawk not letting her gaze leave him.)
Alana Starr: Kennedy has been General Manager for over two years.
Hurricane Hawk: Well, there was a little bit of frustration for the first six months or year considering how I was forced to leave the General Manager’s position.
Alana Starr: We haven’t known each other for all of a few minutes and I know that’s not the truth. Now come on, Hawk. Why are you really here?
Hurricane Hawk: Alright, you have found me out, Alana. I wasn’t trying to deceive you or anything, I promise. I was watching Showdown last week and I saw everything that happened to Kennedy Street at the hands of Silas World.
Alana Starr: Yeah… it’s not exactly one of the best moments that I had to witness.
Hurricane Hawk: I also knew that you would get the unenviable task of taking over Showdown while Kennedy is out recovering from her injuries. I honestly just stopped by to check up on you. How are you doing?
(Alana’s tone and demeanor softened when she accepted and believed that Hurricane Hawk didn’t have any ill intentions or anything like that. She takes a deep breath before answering Hawk’s question.)
Alana Starr: I appreciate that. I really do. If we are being honest with each other, I am a little bit stressed out at the moment. It’s not only because I am the one who is running the show this week. It’s also because I could easily be the next person they attack. I mean there is just a lot going on and it’s starting to get a little overwhelming considering this is my first show and I don’t wanna screw things up and everything.
(Hawk continues to listen to Alana have a borderline panic attack as she continues to vent her nervousness for a moment longer before he decides to interject into the conversation.)
Hurricane Hawk: ALANA!
(Hawk yelled out and that stops Alana and her panicking in her tracks as she takes a deep breath and looks at Hurricane Hawk.
Alana Starr: Yes.
Hurricane Hawk: You honestly have nothing to worry about. Kennedy Street is a very smart woman. YOU are a very smart woman, Alana. You have been working well with Kennedy for a while now, so there is no doubt that Kennedy has all the faith in the world that you can handle everything while she is out recovering from her injuries.
Alana Starr: You really think so? You really think that I can take care of Showdown?
(Hurricane Hawk gives Alana a smile and that continues to make Alana feel better and less stressed with everything going on.)
Hurricane Hawk: Oh, I know so and so do all the Showdown fans. They have all the faith in the world in you to be successful in taking the reins of this show. Seriously, Alana. You can handle everything while Kennedy is out, but I don’t see her being out for very long.
Alana Starr: You think she will be back pretty soon?
Hurricane Hawk: If Kennedy Street has her way, she would try to be here next week if it’s possible. Kennedy is a very tough woman considering her past as a former wrestler. She knows how to take a hit. She’s taken some shots in the past and she knew when she accepted this position that there was a chance that she would get caught in the line of fire, so she’s aware that she might have to take a few more wallops around here before she leaves. Believe me.
Hurricane Hawk: What you need to do is give yourself more credit. You have been learning and enhancing your skills while working alongside Kennedy that there is no doubt in her mind, my mind, and the fan’s minds that you will have everything under control.
(After listening to Hurricane Hawk talk, Alana feels so much better as she doesn’t feel stressed at all. Alana actually has a smile on her face now as she feels pretty confident with herself.)
Alana Starr: You’re right. I can do this. I am here for a reason and that is because the higher ups have faith in me.
Alana Starr: Hawk. Thank you so much for your pep talk. I really appreciate it. I think that I needed to hear all of that even more than I probably realized. I feel so much better about everything. Again, thank you so much for your help.
(Alana sticks out her hand for a handshake and Hurricane Hawk quickly reciprocates and shakes her hand. Both Hawk and Alana have smiles on their faces as they finish the handshake.)
Hurricane Hawk: Don’t worry about it. It was my pleasure to give you that extra assurance and confidence. In all seriousness, if there is anything that you ever need or need help with….
(Hurricane Hawk reaches into his pocket and gives Alana a business card with his contact information.)
Hurricane Hawk: Do not hesitate in calling me. I will try to help you in any way that I can. It’s the least I could do.
Alana Starr: Thank you again. I will certainly be in touch.
Hurricane Hawk: Good to hear. I am glad to see that Showdown is in good hands. Take care, Alana.
(Alana offers a smile as Hurricane Hawk leaves the office. The final shot shows Alana looking and feeling much more confident as she walks back to her desk and the camera shot fades elsewhere.)
(Backstage….
A very distraught Bronson Daniels is seen packing his things in a frenzy inside the locker room, we can see Jon Kelton trying to calm him down.)
Jon Kelton: Bro… listen to me. Pandora is there, she is with Milli, okay? She went to the hospital with her and while she is in really bad shape, she is a fighter, you know she is tough as nails!
Bronson Daniels: NO! That did NOT look good, bruh! I need to get to Ottawa and NOW! I can’t sit here while the love of my life is taken to the hospital in the condition that she is in, I’m not! I-
(He stops for a second flustered as Jon places his hand on the shoulder of Bronson. This is happening as Elysium was watching Shock Value from the back running at the same time as Showdown, watching Milli Banks lose the Universal Women’s Championship to Bea Valentine, but that match left Milli looking really bad as they rushed her out of there quickly. Luckily Pandora Paisley, the girlfriend of Jon Kelton was there, and she had been sending updates to Kelton by making sure she kept an eye on the situation.)
Jon Kelton: I know you are concerned, but we have to take care of business here tonight first and –
(But Bronson cut him off.)
Bronson Daniels: I NEED TO BE WITH HER! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WAS PANDORA!?!
Jon Kelton: The same! The absolute same but she is with her now and told me that she is tough and will be fine. Bronson, we will hop on the next plane the hell out of here and go to Ottawa!
(But before Bronson could respond, Veena Adams walks in. She walks up to Bronson and gives him a hug.)
Bronson Daniels: I am worried about her, Veena.
Veena Adams: I know, so am I. We have a private jet waiting for us at the airfield, it will not take us but two hours to get there tops when we get out of here, but much as I want to leave now and see her, you know damn well that Milli wants us to take care of business tonight. She would want us to fight, and that is the kind of spirit I respect. Me personally, I would want everyone there like now, but this is not about me.
Jon Kelton: Listen to Veena, Bron.
Veena Adams: Smartest thing you have said since we made this alliance. Besides, his girlfriend, or whatever she is will give us updates, but I need you to get in the game.
Jon Kelton: Pandora is my girlfriend, you know that.
Veena Adams: Yeah whatever. So anyway, Bronson I need you to get it together. We are set to go right after Shwodown ends, so have you bags packed, and we can get out of here.
Jon Kelton: See bro, Veena got it covered. We appreciate this, and we will be ready to go.
Veena Adams: We? When did I say WE? Bronson and I are going to Ottawa and-
(Bronson interrupts.)
Bronson Daniels: Veena… please. I know you two don’t get along, but Jon needs to come with us.
(Veena just rolls her eyes.)
Veena Adams: Okay… fine. He can go with us. But we –
(But as they are talking, Mikaela Street walks in with mic in hand.)
Mikaela Street: Hey guys, just really quick, we just saw what happened to Milli Banks after the first match at Shock Value. She lost the Universal Women’s Championship and now is fighting for her life in a hospital, it didn’t look good and –
Veena Adams: MIKAELA!? READ THR ROOM, GIRL!
Mikaela Street: Sorry… I’m just doing my job, and I wanted to get a few words with you three about Silas World, but then this whole thing happened with Milli Banks in her title loss, there are a lot of rumors going around that she could be out for the rest of the season, maybe longer and –
Veena Adams: Okay… first off, Milli Banks is one of the toughest bitches I know. She would stumble to the ring in a walker if it meant taking care of business. Are we concerned, yes. Are we worried? Yes. But do any of us think Milli is dead or done for, HELL NO! Now listen to me very closely because nothing has changed when it comes to Silas World, and with the Grand Rampage coming up I am sure there are going to be quite a few people that are going to want and make a statement, WE are four of them. I don’t know what we all have planned, but I can tell you this, I would love to have a match with them and Milli? She will be standing right by my side.
(Bronson looks a little more calm and he now talks.)
Bronson Daniels: I know that Milli is a fighter and after we are done here tonight, I will be with her, we all will. But right now, Veena is right. So, Silas World, consider this your last warning. This is not your brand to take over, and the hell that you have put us through is going to be nothing compared to what we do.
Jon Kelton: And just to add to this, any time and any place, we are going to be there to stop you. We have had enough! These games are over! And we will be damned if this turns into anything less than us walking out as the winners of this and Silas World finds themselves back as just another failed group.
(Veena has the last word.)
Veena Adams: Mikaela, it’s really simple. We have had enough of their attacks, we saw what happened last week to Kennedy Street and while I have had my differences with that bitch, they were still wrong. We will be watching this main event very closely. You can go now.
Mikaela Street: Thanks! Byyyyeeee!
(Mikaela leaves as Veena turns back to talk to Bronson and Jon before the camera fades to ringside for the Main Event.)
(The cameras panning to Gina Roman standing at the center of the ring ready to make the announcement for the main event.)
Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS A 3-ON-3 TAG TEAM BOUT, AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher blasts through the PA system as TLA and Ryan Joseph Wilson take the lead, making their way out first. They wave to the crowd, receiving a huge cheer in return, which only grows louder when Cody Maverick steps out, the EAW National Elite Championship wrapped around his waist. Standing tall alongside his teammates, Cody, Ryan, and TLA exchange nods before marching down to the ring together united and ready for the main event.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! THE TEAM OF THE HUSTLERS ALLIANCE, CONSISTING OF TLA, RYAN JOSEPH WILSON, AND THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR… CODY MAVERICK!!!!!!!!
Eve: Two teams with strong chemistry are set to collide tonight as Cody Maverick is teaming up with Hustlers Alliance. There have been heated and intense exchanges leading up to this week.
Gavin Kirkland: And with that being said, we are about to see how those words and actions towards each other will pay off!
(Cody Maverick, Ryan Joseph Wilson, and TLA are entering the ring as ‘Another World’ by Gojira plays as Silas Mason leads his team alongside Ronan Malosi acting as his bodyguard with all wearing smirks on their faces. They are followed by Harper Lee and Brianna Hill and the Speicalists Championship carrying on her shoulder, who walk out side by side and following them is the Answer World Champion, Donovan Duke, carrying the title on his shoulder as he steps out onto the stage. All five members of the Answer World are now walking to the ring, with Silas Mason leading those elitists.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS!… ACCOMPANIED BY RONAN MALOSI AND SILAS MASON!… WITH A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 449 POUNDS!… HARPER LEE, THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION BRIANNA HILL, AND THE ANSWER WORLD CHAMPION, DONOVAN DUKE!… THEY ARE!… SILAS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Arguably the most dominant faction in the EAW industry today has arrived for the main event tonight, consisting of the Answer World Champion, the EAW Specialist Champion, and one of the most accomplished female talents that EAW has ever had to offer. Silas Mason is truly assembling some of the best talent to create a hell of a faction here!
Eve: We are about to see how their tag team works out tonight because, on the other hand, we’ve seen what Hustler’s Alliance can do so far, and Cody Maverick is entrusted with them in this match.
Deadprez: It’s a collision between villains and heroes in this match, and we are about to see some interesting chemistry clash to create one hell of a main event!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke will be the two competitors starting this match! Both begin circling the ring, locking eyes before colliding at the center in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Duke quickly switches it up with a drop toe hold transitioning into a side headlock, applying pressure to Maverick’s skull! The National Elite Champion finds himself under the control of the Answers World Champion early on as the toll begins to take effect from the very start!
Eve: With his smaller size, Donovan Duke must make the most of every opportunity to control this match against larger opponents. Maverick feels the effects and quickly picks one of Duke’s legs from behind his calf, attempting a quick cover.
Deadprez: Duke swiftly pulls himself off the ground before the referee can begin the count. He then seizes Maverick’s arm and starts manipulating it, twisting it in the wrong direction, causing Maverick to struggle as he fights against the hold!
Gavin Kirkland: Already on his back, Duke looks for the smartest route to take as he begins to manipulate his own movement, creating space to craft his technique. He throws his leg over from the ground and starts shifting over Maverick’s arm, locking in a Fujiwara Armbar once he secures the hold and sets everything up perfectly!
Eve: Speaking of the technical genius that he is, the Answers World Champion is putting his skills on full display. Meanwhile, his teammates alongside with Silas and Ronan, watch closely from ringside, cheering him on and giving him props for his intelligence and strategy.
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Great work, Champ! Keep it up!
Deadprez: Silas World has assembled an impressive lineup of talent, I can’t deny that. And with Donovan Duke as the reigning world champion, dominating in the ring, nobody is safe on Showdown right now, they are wrestling at their best! Fujiwara continues to apply pressure on Cody Maverick, who seems to be struggling on the ground at the moment!
Gavin Kirkland: This presents a great opportunity for Donovan to take him out early on. Targeting Maverick’s arm means he won’t be able to utilize much of his offense, especially one of his signature moves like the Lights Out Punch. Looks like Donovan Duke has done his homework, learning from past experiences to counter Maverick’s strengths.
Eve: Seems like Maverick is slowly bridging his body over while Duke keeps him grounded, applying the Fujiwara Armbar. Donovan is still trying to manipulate and twist Maverick’s wrist to maintain pressure and keep him pinned to the mat.
Deadprez: But at the very last second, Maverick seizes the opportunity rolling Donovan over and reversing the Fujiwara Armbar, giving himself a chance to turn the tide and secure the win for his team!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Deadprez: Duke makes it to a two-count before kicking out, sending his body rolling backward to his feet. He quickly crawls over and pulls Maverick right back into a chokehold, applying the Rear Naked Choke while remaining seated on the ground! He isn’t giving the National Elite Champion an easy time in this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke is moving like a snake in this match right now! He’s out here just trying to suck the blood out of his prey through this submission hold he’s been applying. And now, the Rear Naked Choke has Cody right where Duke wants him! Maverick is struggling hard against him, but it seems like this Sin City Superstar is trying to fight back!
Eve: He’s reaching for his hand, searching for something to grab onto while his teammates cheer him on, but nothing is working out easily. Duke has everything right where he wants it!…
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! Maverick is pushing himself back onto the ground, causing Donovan’s shoulders to be pinned to the mat! He might not notice! Cody is about to steal this!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DUKE PUSHES MAVERICK OUT OF THE WAY, RELEASING HIM JUST IN TIME TO ESCAPE THE SNEAKY PIN AT TWO!!!!! A very smart choice by Cody Maverick to try and pick up the win, but Donovan was quick to notice.
Deadprez: Given Cody’s history of surprise roll-ups in the past, Donovan was well aware that Cody might try something unpredictable in this match. Both men roll back to their feet, with Duke making an approach, but Maverick counters with an arm drag, sending Duke rolling across the ground! Duke gets back to his feet, but Maverick catches him with another arm drag, sending him sprawling to the mat once again! Answers World Champion is getting more and more frustrated with these arm drags as he’s being tossed around by Cody Maverick!
Eve: Duke gets back to his feet and charges straight at Maverick, only for Cody to lift him into the air and connect with an Inverted Atomic Drop! Duke spins around in pain, which sets him up perfectly for Maverick to lift him again and go for another Atomic Drop! This time, not inverted, striking him from behind regularly!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, while Duke is writhing in pain from those Atomic Drops, Maverick takes the chance to push Donovan toward the ropes, catching him off guard as he rebounds back! Maverick lifts Donovan into the air and catches him right on his shoulder! Thanks to the size advantage, it made it easier to catch him… AND CODY MAVERICK EXECUTES THE FIREMAN’S CARRY GUTBUSTER, TAKING DOWN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!! A COVER BY CODY!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: TWO!!!!! Donovan Duke manages to lift his shoulder up at two and remains alive in this match! Cody Maverick looks back, having seen it coming, and lets out a little laugh, knowing that he’s starting to get a grip and have some fun dealing with The Silas World.
Deadprez: Cody targets the same spot on Donovan Duke’s midsection three times, causing him to struggle with some belly pain. Maverick now gets back to his feet and forcefully throws the champion into the corner before delivering a pressing stomp. He then steps back and glances down at The Silas World watching from the apron, keeping an eye on where he’s about to go next.
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) Hey idiots, pay close attention to what I’m about to do to your guy.
Eve: Maverick taunts the members of The Silas World with some attitude, showing no fear toward the devious masterminds watching this match. It seems like he’s determined to take them on with a fearless mindset! Now, Cody begins his run from the opposite corner where he had walked off and charges toward Donovan Duke, looking for a running attack in the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: AVOID! Maverick is colliding into the corner at the front, his chest plunging into the turnbuckles hard! Duke quickly rushes up from behind, seizing the rope and leaping up for the roundhouse kick, connecting to the back of the head! Duke now hooks Cody Maverick’s arms from behind, turning his way out of there and running down toward the center of the ring!… WITH THE VERTEBREAKER PLANTS CODY MAVERICK TO THE CANVAS!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Just when you think you can outwrestle Donovan Duke, you might want to reconsider, because Donovan Duke isn’t going to let that last long easily especially not in the same match you’re matched with him here! Duke pushes himself off the ground after the Vertebreaker connects, and he looks back, seeing that Maverick is already down on the mat!
Eve: Duke pulls himself up from the turnbuckle and quickly rises to the top corner! Maverick is trapped in the danger zone where Duke might as well be pulling this off early!… GENESIS!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The 450 Splash was attempting to connect, but Maverick moves out of the way, rolling down toward the Silas World corner right in front of him! Maverick gets back to his feet just as Donovan struggles to save himself from a harsh landing after missing the 450 Splash. Duke turns around, only to be met by Cody Maverick, who is already on his feet with forearm smash connecting to the side of Cody’s head!
Deadprez: Duke quickly rushes to the ropes and rebounds back toward Maverick, but Maverick catches him off guard with a hip toss! Maverick looks to capitalize and sets him up in the same spot again! Donovan clutches his ribs as he tries to get to his feet, but Maverick spins around… DISCUS PUNCH KNOCKS THE LIGHTS OUT OF DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!
Eve: Wow! What a brutal shot from the Discus Punch that might as well have put the champion to rest! And the National Elite Champion is looking to seal the deal, planting his feet and spinning around one more time… looking for another Discus Punch!
Gavin Kirkland: But Donovan is trying to catch him with a bicycle kick to the face of Cody Maverick but Maverick sees it coming! He knows exactly what’s about to happen and catches that kick with both hands! Now, he’s turning him around, possibly setting up for the Sin City Stunner any second now-
Deadprez: BANG!!!!! DRAGON WHIP KICK BY DONOVAN DUKE!!!! Oh, you think so, Cody? You think you can outsmart the Answer World Champion? That’s not likely what’s happening because Donovan Duke just countered the attempt with Dragon Whip Kick just knocked Maverick away!
Eve: Duke gets to his feet and charges towards the ropes quickly, while Maverick shakes off the pain from the kick, then runs down the sideline on the same side where he initially turned off. Duke turns back around, and Maverick swings for a hard lariat, but he misses!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke ducks underneath and charges off the ropes, with Maverick missing his charge to the opposite side and both men coming back towards each other!… DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!!! Two champions collide head-to-head, connecting with clotheslines to each other’s chests and taking each other down at the same time! Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke wipe each other out, and now both teams are calling for their own champion to make the tag!
Deadprez: TLA is reaching his hand out to make a tag for Cody Maverick, while Ryan Joseph Wilson smacks the turnbuckle in his corner as the crowd begins clapping in unison rallying behind their chosen side. Some are cheering for the Hustlers’ Alliance.
Eve: Meanwhile, Silas World’s Harper Lee is reaching out for the tag as well, eager to make a move, knowing she could be the one to handle TLA in this exchange. It seems like Ronan and Silas are on the same page, motivating Donovan Duke to tag in Harper as well! Both competitors are crawling toward their teammates desperately looking to make the tag!
(DOUBLE TAG!)
Eve: And here we go! TLA and Harper Lee are now in the same ring, and they’re going right at each other! Harper Lee comes in hot from the apron and drives a running dropkick that sends TLA flying back into his corner as well! TLA crashes back into the corner, but Harper Lee quickly runs off the ground and goes for a running boot at the corner this time
Gavin Kirkland: TLA moves out of the way and runs off the ropes instead! Lee moves out of the corner and takes her leg out to go for a swing with the lariat at TLA at the center of the ring, but TLA leaps over and dashes past her, rolling back to his feet! Lee is momentarily confused by the speed TLA is bringing to this match already, but she stays on the attack and quickly nails the rebounding TLA with a Bicycle Boot to stun him momentarily!
Deadprez: Lee now throws herself back off the ropes and charges at TLA, going for a Knee Lift… but TLA catches the knee and immediately hoists Harper Lee up into the air instead STUNNING HER MID-AIR WITH AN ELBOW SMASH!!!!!
Eve: TLA yet again sends Harper Lee down, throwing her toward the ropes and back with a headscissors takedown that sends Harper Lee stumbling to the ground and rolling to the outside of the ring! TLA gets to his knees and looks up at the dazed Harper Lee on the outside, stunned by the quickness and speed TLA has displayed, allowing him to handle her with ease!
Gavin Kirkland: Now TLA quickly heads up to the top rope while Harper Lee struggles to get back to her feet on the outside!…. DIVING MOONSAULT TAKING OUT HARPER LEE!!!!! What a showcase of athleticism by TLA out there, taking down Harper Lee on the outside and seizing a huge advantage for his team right here! Harper Lee has been taken down big time by TLA, and now he begins picking her up and sending her back into the ring!
Deadprez: TLA quickly hops back onto the apron. 10 years in and still moving as sharply as ever as he looks to throw himself back into the ring… SPRINGBOARD SPLASH ON A GROUNDED HARPER LEE BY TLA!!!!!! TLA with some quick and dynamic moves, brought a lot of offenses to Harper Lee in this match, and now he’s looking to put her down with a cover for the three!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: TWO!!!! HARPER LEE POWERS OUT!!!! There’s no stopping TLA for sure, but that doesn’t mean Harper Lee is going to be easily stopped in this match either! Harper Lee is now being picked up by TLA, who is dragging her back to her feet slowly while targeting her arm with an elbow strike, trying to wear her down and gain a better grip on her.
Eve: Lee is now slowly being pushed against the corner, with TLA attempting to send her to the other side of the ring but Lee immediately pops herself up onto the top turnbuckle and backflips off it just as TLA reaches for her
Gavin Kirkland: Lee runs down the sideline toward the ropes and bounces back! TLA steps in, looking for the clothesline, but misses as Harper Lee leaps onto the second rope and springboards off… but TLA catches her!
Deadprez: TLA now pops her off his shoulder,with Lee landing on her back, rebounding off the ropes as he’s trying to transition into the Desmadre Powerbomb while carrying her away… BUT LEE COUNTERS!!!! SHE TURNS TLA’S POWERBOMB INTO A HURRICANRANA ROLL-UP!!!! THE LEGS ARE HOOKED BY HARPER LEE!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: TLA PUSHES LEE OFF AT TWO!!!!! When quickness is on display, Harper Lee must prove that she’s not a letdown to her team, especially when up against one of the very best in the EAW landscape. TLA rolls back to his feet after being caught in the roll-up, quickly approaching Harper Lee WITH SWAG SHOT TO STUN HER MOMENTARILY BUT LEE DUCKS!!!!!
Eve: Lee slips underneath the Pimp Slap and immediately pops up onto TLA’s shoulders!.. AND SPIKES TLA WITH POISONRANA!!!!! TLA now finds himself seated on the ground after being spiked headfirst!
Gavin Kirkland: Lee sees a perfect opportunity to take it further, rushing towards the ropes and bouncing back towards TLA… AND LEE KNOCKS TLA BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SLIDING ELBOW SMASH DIRECTLY TO HIS FACE!!!!! Lee quickly capitalizes on this sudden turn of events, hooking TLA’s leg this time as she goes for cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND TLA KICKS OUT!!!! Well, she certainly put some effort into it, but that doesn’t mean TLA would be easily pinned just like that, either. Harper Lee definitely isn’t happy about this, but she’s looking to make things work in her favor!
Eve: Lee now rises to her feet, looking down at TLA, whom she just knocked down, and deliberately delivers a disrespectful right boot to his head! That’s not just offensive but that’s spitting on his name because she genuinely doesn’t like him!
Deadprez: And just like that, Lee is already signaling that she’s going for the head here. She’s targeting it as she grabs TLA’s head, locking him into a headlock and charging toward the corner of the Sisal World… driving TLA face-first into the turnbuckle with a running bulldog that leaves him down on the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee now positions herself on the middle rope! Silas World opens up space for Harper Lee as she slides off, moves along the apron, and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Lee patiently waits for TLA to get back up to his feet, but TLA is still reeling from the faceplant into the corner… AND LEE CONNECTS WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT ONTO TLA’S BACK!!!!!
Eve: That’s not a good look for TLA in this match right here. Lee is back up with plans, and now she’s planning to dominate her opponent further. Lee slowly comes to her feet while TLA is seen holding his back, feeling the toll from that hard landing. Lee now walks toward TLA, looking to take him down. Just as he gets into a seated position… SHE DELIVERS A VICIOUS RUNNING PENALTY KICK THAT LANDS HARD THAT YOU CAN HEAR THE IMPACT REVERBERATING THROUGH HIS SPINE!!!!!!
Deadprez: It’s clearly taking a toll on his leg, as TLA is seen scrambling on the ground, struggling to regain control, his legs shaking from the damage. But Lee is just getting started out here. She’s knocking her knuckles together, thinking to herself that she’s not going to let him off the hook easily. Now, she begins staring TLA down, dragging him toward the corner of her team’s side, where Brianna seamlessly positions herself to receive the tag!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Now it’s Brianna’s turn to get into the ring, but she quickly runs past Harper Lee, who picks up speed toward TLA, tackling Ryan Joseph Wilson and Cody Maverick off the apron, sending them crashing to the ground! Lee steps off, but TLA seizes the opportunity while Harper is distracted, quickly stunning her with a right hand connecting across her jaw! Hill rushes back to intercept TLA, but TLA spins around and meets her with a right hook as well!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA turns back to deliver a gut kick, attempting to send Lee colliding into Brianna with an Irish whip but instead, Lee runs toward Brianna, grabbing her wrist. They spin each other around, reversing positions so that Lee sends Brianna towards TLA instead… And Brianna connects sharply across TLA’s chest with a Running Chop!
Eve: Hill then seizes TLA by the back of his head and tosses him directly into Harper Lee’s Bicycle Kick that lands firmly across his jaw! Lee and Brianna come together, standing tall in front of TLA. They exchange a nod and then toss TLA toward the ropes! Both Brianna Hill and Harper Lee lift TLA simultaneously… FOR THE DOUBLE HIP TOSS NECKBREAKER TAKING TLA DOWN!!!! With Harper Lee’s assistance, Brianna lifts TLA from the side and brings him down hard displaying the teamwork between these two members of Silas World!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Splendid! That’s what I like to see from you two talented ladies!
Eve: And now that TLA is down again, Hill drops into a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: TLA POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT TWO!!!!!! TLA has been resilient so far, maneuvering around these two women who attempted to take him down earlier, clearly understanding just how big of a threat he poses. But they aren’t easily going to slow down now that they have him locked in their sights.
Deadprez: Brianna Hill lifts TLA back up after being kicked down earlier, hooking one of his arms and throwing it over her head, going for the Abdominal Stretch!
Gavin Kirkland: Now the Abdominal Stretch is locked in tight, and the hyperextension has begun, applying even more pressure to stretch out TLA while Wilson reaches desperately from the apron, extending his hand, trying to make the tag!
Eve: Seems like the technical work has been expertly put on display by Silas World yet again! Brianna Hill is following the same path Donovan Duke walked earlier, applying tremendous pressure. Brianna Hill has the arm locked in tight, while TLA struggles desperately reaching for his partner’s hand as the crowd claps along, providing support to motivate these competitors.
Deadprez: But Brianna refuses to back down, repositioning herself toward the center of the ring and leaning further back to apply even more pressure making TLA’s fight for freedom increasingly difficult!
Gavin Kirkland: And TLA, seeing Hill stepping away from Wilson seizes the moment and swings Hill around, tossing her down right in front of him with an armdrag! Hill crashes hard back-first onto the ground! Brianna holds her back in pain but manages to get back on her feet. TLA approaches quickly, attempting the Very Mexican Uppercut, but Brianna ducks under his arm, slipping behind him to apply the sleeper hold!
Eve: Hill might be exhausted, but she’s looking to not let TLA off the hook but TLA manages to pry her arms apart, freeing himself from the hold as TLA LEAPS INTO THE AIR… AND CARTEL KICK CONNECTS AND KNOCKS THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION DOWN!!!! YES, HE GOT HER!!!!
Deadprez: Lee sees no opening and quickly slides into the ring, charging straight at the corner. She sprints toward TLA, aiming to take him down with a Shotgun Dropkick but TLA moves out of the way just in time, causing Lee to crash hard into the ground isntead! Uh oh, we know what’s coming next! Look who’s at the top…
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) CO-DY… MAVERICK!
Deadprez: DIVING ELBOW DROP ON HARPER LEE BY THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The National Elite Champion is getting back to his feet, but he doesn’t realize he’s just made himself an easy target! The Answer World Champion braces himself on the sacred mat before charging forward like an enraged bull straight toward Cody!…. SPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: OH MAN!!!! What a Spear from the Answer World Champion, taking down the National Elite Champion and sending both himself and Cody crashing through to the outside of the ring at the same time!
Eve: Duke manages to push Cody off him and quickly scrambles back into the ring, where TLA is ready to strike with the Swag Shot! But Duke ducks underneath and moves behind TLA. As TLA turns around, Duke catches him with a kick to the gut… SETTING HIM UP FOR RUIN AND DEMISE!!!!! HE’S LOOKING FOR THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SUPERKICK FROM RYAN JOSEPH WILSON FROM DONOVAN DUKE!!!!! Duke takes the superkick right to the face absorbing the massive blow as hard as it gets because Wilson isn’t playing around!
Deadprez: Duke stumbles and staggers back to the ropes where The Hustlers’ Alliance is standing by!… DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN!!!!!!!!! Double Superkick from both members of The Hustlers’ Alliance takes down Donovan Duke, sending him crashing to the outside to join Harper Lee, who was taken out earlier by Cody Maverick!
Eve: Wilson now finds himself going through the ropes, reaching out for the tag with TLA! TLA is scrambling towards him and…
(TAG!)
Eve: AND FINALLY!!!! WILSON IS A LEGAL MAN!!! Wilson is getting into the ring at the same time Brianna Hill is recovering from the Cartel Kick. She goes for a strike, but Wilson ducks underneath the attack and swings for the Northern Lariat, connecting with the back of Brianna’s head to take her down! Wilson then grabs Brianna by her hair, dragging her back to her feet before lifting her up!… BRAINBUSTER BY RJW!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And Wilson isn’t done and comes off the ropes, sprinting down towards the corner before launching himself over! Wilson leaps over the ropes and COMES SOARING DOWN ONTO HARPER LEE AND DONOVAN DUKE AT RINGSIDE WITH A TRIANGLE MOONSAULT TAKING THEM BOTH DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: My man is already going crazy, man! Once he’s off the leash, Wilson is just entering the ring, and he’s having an absolute blast right now. Brianna Hill is getting back to her feet and reaches out to grab Wilson in an attempt to take him down!
Eve: Wilson brushes her hand off and knocks her back into the turnbuckle with a heavy forearm! Hill slumps down into the corner of the ring while Wilson grabs the top rope and sends himself flying back into the ring!… SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH TAKING BRIANNA HILL DOWN!!!!! WILSON IS GOING FOR A COVER!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: HILL KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!! Wilson might be full of wild energy right now, but Hill is just as determined not to let her team down. Ronan Malosi and Silas Mason are watching from ringside, looking a bit concerned. Malosi might want to yell out instructions, but Mason holding back, letting them unleash everything in the ring while allowing Silas’ World to showcase its full potential first.
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson gets back to his feet, dragging Hill up with him before tossing her into the corner this time. He turns on his heels and rushes back AND HERE IT COMES!!!! A RUNNING HELLUVA KICK TO KNOCK HILL DOWN IN THE CORNER!!!!!
Deadprez: But Hill avoids the Helluva Kick with a perfectly timed pendulum evasion dropping down to the apron and slipping through the ropes, causing Wilson to hit nothing but air!
Eve: Wilson quickly lowers his head, looking for a shoulder tackle to send Hill crashing to the outside, but Hill is one step ahead! She catches his head… JUMPS OFF THE APRON AND DELIVERS A ROPE-HUNG STUNNER!!!! Wilson stumbles back into the ring as he’s dazed from the impact
Gavin Kirkland: Hill grabs the rope tightly this time, possibly looking for some aerobic payback on Wilson for what he did to her earlier. Hill steadies herself, eyes locked on her target, before launching herself back into the ring… AND BRIANNA TAKES WILSON DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!!!!!!
Deadprez: Or is she?! Wilson just caught her this time! Wilson stumbles backward while still holding Brianna Hill but manages to regain his footing. Talk about strength and stability, Wilson is showcasing both right now!
Eve: Wilson hoists Hill up into the air and transitions her into a fireman’s carry, setting up for his next move. But Hill slips down behind his back, escaping just in time… AND SHE QUICKLY MANEUVERS INTO A CRUCIFIX ROLL-UP, TAKING WILSON DOWN AND PINNING HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: THREE??? WOAH!!!! WILSON KICKS OUT!!!! Hill nearly stole the victory from Ryan Wilson, but he managed to escape just in time before the three count! What a close call!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson gets back to his feet, but Hill quickly dashes in with a Right Hook, stunning Wilson momentarily! Wilson stumbles back, and Hill follows up with a slap that forces Wilson to look down at the mat, almost making him lose his balance! But she’s not done yet… AND HILL DELIVERS ANOTHER SLAP, MAKING SURE TO GET EVERY LAST BIT OF FIGHT OUT OF WILSON!!!!
Deadprez: Now Hill steps back, gathering momentum, then leaps off the ground and drives a jumping knee strike right into Wilson’s nose, sending him crashing down to both knees! Hill charges toward the ropes, rebounds with speed, and comes flying back at Wilson!… BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TAKES DOWN RYAN WILSON!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson has been completely caught with a knee strike to the face as Hill returns to her corner, where Harper Lee has managed to climb back up.
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: Harper makes a sneaky tag on Hill’s shoulder, but both act as if nothing happened. Wilson attempts to recover from the knee strike, but now Hill charges out from the corner!.. HITS DIFFERENT!!!!
Eve: AND HILL RUNS RIGHT INTO LA BOMBE BLEU!!!!!! Blue Thunder Bomb connects, but the referee can’t initiate the count because that’s not a legal competitor! Referee is unable to count the pin because the wrong competitor is covered!
Deadprez: And Lee who has been tagged without Wilson noticing her moves into the ring quickly and runs toward Ryan… DRAGON FIST!!!! Lee, with the sliding variation of the Dragon Fist, connected it squarely to Wilson’s chin and knocked him backward. Lee hops down over Wilson and hooks the leg for a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: WILSON KICKS OUT!!!!!!! Lee couldn’t believe it, but she used her self-control to hold back her emotions, struggling to focus on the match. Lee now turns her attention back to Wilson, who remains in the ring after being knocked out cold with the Dragon Fist.
Gavin Kirkland: Lee tries to get back to her feet, but then Cody Maverick enters the ring and quickly charges in!… LIGHTS OUT PUNCH!!!!! Hitting nobody because Lee moved underneath the fist that was just about to catch her off guard, suddenly Maverick turns around and emerges with a quick headbutt from Lee that sends her stumbling to the ropes!… AND CODY STILL OFF THE ROPES TO KNOCK HER DOWN WITH LIGHTS OUT PUNCH!!!! SECOND ATTEMPT WORKS!!!!!!!
Eve: Cody has woken from the slumber this time, and he’s putting in the work. Now it’s Brian’s turn to switch things up as she recovers from the blue thunder bomb she took earlier and runs toward Cody!… BREAKTHROUGH KICK TAKES CODY’S HEAD OFF!!!! Hill with a nice takedown there has wiped Cody off the page-
Gavin Kirkland: MEXICANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN DESTROYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! TLA JUST RAN FULL SPEED FROM WHERE HE HAD BEEN LYING DOWN AND TOOK BRIANNA DOWN WITH HER HEAD SLAMMING INTO THE GROUND WITH A RUNNING MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!
Deadprez: But it doesn’t stop there! Duke is already at the top, and TLA, who is getting back to his feet, just tried something that went wrong!… CARTWHEEL DDT BY DONOVAN!!!!! TLA, who just had his head slammed to the ground, isn’t stopping there as Donovan Duke proceeds to make prey out of him, picking him up and hooking both of his arms!.. RUIN AND DEMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Wow, Donovan just made quick work of the Hall of Famer, taking him out. Wilson, who just barely got back up and saw his partner being taken out helplessly, is now being targeted by Donovan Duke, who just landed a hard blow to his jaw and is now raising both arms for Harper Lee to take a shot!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) DO IT, HARPER! NOW!
Eve: AND LEE GOES FOR LONELY STAR KNEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!!!
Deadprez: OH YES!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson just unhooked himself at the very last second, and Harper just nailed her finisher, taking out her own partner. Donovan Duke is down and out! Lee is pissed that she hit the wrong person and turns around to charge towards Wilson!… SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.4!!!!!!!! A KNEE STRIKE FOLLOWED BY THE SUPERMAN PUNCH KNOCKED HARPER LEE BACK TO THE GROUND! WILSON DROPS INTO THE COVER, LOOKING TO TAKE HER OUT!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Oh these damn fools! Referee couldn’t go for the pin! Ronan Malosi and Silas Mason are on the apron, trying to create a distraction! They’re trying to convince the referee and get into the ring, causing interference! Wilson pushes them off his feet, brushing them off as Mason and Malosi quickly hop off the apron and act like nothing happened!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Disqualify him now, ref! He’s clearly trying to assault on the outside and isn’t involved in this match!
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) I agree!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (Off-Mic) Stay where you are if you don’t want to get hurt! We’re just trying to do our job!
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) How about you stay where you are if you don’t want to lose your job?!
Eve: And Wilson is now turning his attention back into the ring and getting back to Harper Lee!… OH!!! DRAGON FIST!!! LEE CAUGHT WILSON OFF GUARD WITH THE DRAGON FIST!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The hard right hook just turned Wilson the other way around with Lee proceeding to step in further and jump in!… LONELY STAR TAKES WILSON DOWN!!!!! AND THAT IS IT!!!! LEE COVERS!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!… DONOVAN DUKE, HARPER LEE AND BRIANNA HILL!… SILAS WORLD!
Gavin Kirkland: What a main event we just had tonight, with Harper Lee securing the win for the team thanks to interference from Silas Mason and Ronan Malosi, who just threw their weight around allowing her to put down Ryan Joseph Wilson!
Eve: And now, not wasting any time, led by Donovan Duke, they charge into the ring, throwing Cody Maverick and TLA back in, and now they begin to jump them! Brianna Hill holding Cody Maverick to get revenge from last week, while Donovan Duke beats down Wilson like a dog after what he has done to him, incredibly pissed off! Ronan Malosi, on the other hand, is handling TLA, as each of them has their own task to deal with right now!
(DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!)
Deadprez: This man, Mason, is just watching his minions swarm on these babyfaces right now! They are being jumped and torn apart right here! TLA is being picked up by Ronan and getting pulled in!… DEATH-RO!!!!TLA has been wiped out, referee trying to step in to stop it, but Mason gets in the way, shoving the referee down and getting him out of the way! Silas World is running the show right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody Maverick is now taking his turn to be picked up by Harper Lee, who gets to her feet and joins the team to grab Cody by both wrists and set him up for a sleeper hold on the floor, with Donovan Duke letting go of Ryan and charging down towards Cody at the same time as Brianna!… SWEET DREAMS!!!! Duke and Hill stomping on Cody’s head at the same time as Harper Lee applies her own finisher, causing the combined stomps to crush the mind and brain of the Sin City Superstar completely!
Eve: And now it’s just Ryan left alone…
(All four are looking to overpower Ryan who can barely get to his feet as they prepare to put up a fight against him.)
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) Hey guys… what do we do with him?
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) …. Grab a chair, Ronan.
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) Bet on that.
Deadprez: And Ronan just came outside, pulling the steel chair from underneath the ring and sliding it back into the ring for Donovan Duke! Duke begins to unfold the chair and place it right behind him. Lee and Brianna Hill are just watching, agreeing with everything happening, as Mason stands by while Ronan gets back into the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke starts picking Ryan up!… OH MY GOD!!!! HE’S GOING TO DRIVE RYAN SKULL TO THE STEEL CHAIR WITH RUIN AND DEMISE-
(Suddenly, ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande hits!)
Gavin Kirkland: FINALLY!!!! SOMEONE IS HERE TO SAVE!!!!
Deadprez: The Golden Start is running from the entrance down to the ring, and she doesn’t come alone! Elysium is coming to the ring with her! Lee comes down to try and take down Kelton with a kick, but Kelton ducks to the side and runs straight to cut Brianna Hill in half with FINAL ATONEMENT!!!!!!!
Eve: And that’s followed by Veena Adams, who gets into the ring and goes straight to business, targeting Ronan Malosi. She takes him out as the fallen man, hitting him with a jumping knee strike that knocks the big man over the ropes and outside of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: GET THAT FILTHY ANIMAL OUT OF THE RING, VEENA!!!!
Deadprez: That’s left Donovan Duke watching everything unfold in front of him so quickly, and he’s turning to intercept, but Bronson isn’t going to let him do anything and JUST KNOCKS HIM DOWN WITH THE CHROME HEART KICK!!!!!!!
Eve: The champion has been taken down! Harper Lee turns around and tries to attack everybody! She hits the bicycle kick to big Kelton and then turns around to hit Veena with one as well! Lee quickly grabs the chair while she’s already got it and folds it to go for the next fight!…
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT AN AGGRESSIVE BATMAN PUNCH THAT JUST PUNCHED THROUGH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!!!! Harper is holding and clutching that fist into her face, knocking her down and sending her tumbling to the outside of the ring! Mason takes a quick step back and goes to join his faction, standing with Silas World on the outside where the heroes are standing tall for the justice inside the ring!
(‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande by Ariana Grande plays as Veena Adams, Bronson Daniels, and Jon Kelton stand tall, watching Silas World getting up on the outside. They are angry and upset that they couldn’t stand tall to close out the show and were taken out in such a terrible way. Mason is the one really agitated with them because this was supposed to be his night… but he just smirks and giggles a little before telling his team to retreat and get back to the ring, a face full of satisfaction.)
Gavin Kirkland: What a way to close off the show here tonight! Just as we thought we were going to see Silas World conquering over our barricades tonight, the heroes come into the scene and stand tall for the right reasons, as they’ve saved Hustlers Alliance and the National Elite Champion from taking tolls, twice a week!
Eve: And also, what a show we had tonight, and we’ll see you next week! Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen!
(Veena Adams and Elysium go over and help up Hustlers Alliance and Cody Maverick, checking to see how they’re doing and treating them with care with the final scene showing the babyfaces cleaning up the mess and saving Showdown as the scene fades to elsewhere.)
