(EAW Intro plays…)
(RECAP–Last week, the Elitists of Showdown were live from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in beautiful Biloxi, Mississippi. The show kicks off with Ms. Extreme in the ring talking about being the last woman standing and confronting GM Kennedy Street in the ring before Drake Armstrong tries to attack Camille, but Camille gives him a low blow. Kennedy tries to attack, but Ms. Extreme catches her and then starts mauling her and laying her out with a smile on her face! Jamie Kazuki defeats Marilyn Johnson to win her debut match. Backstage Michael Machina talks about his undefeated streak and how he is going to win the 24/7 Battle Royal before being confronted by Major Scotty Connor before walking away.)
(The recap plays on as Alex Myers defeats Chris Elite with Donovan Duke on commentary after a distraction from Theron Nikolas. After the match, Chris Elite storms into Kennedy Street’s office angry about what happened in the ring, but he is met by Heidi Huxley and a note left by Kennedy Street telling him to up the ante. The next match has Xander Payne defeating Jack Ripley after some interference by Jon Kelton. Next, Hans Grayson comes to the ring talking about his time in EAW as well as confronting Caroline about what she did last week, before ultimately issuing Caroline a challenge for the New Breed Championship at Pain for Pride.)
(The recap continues with Kassidy Heart defeating Roberto De La Rosa by submission. Backstage the Doctor is talking to Kennedy Street before being interrupted by Lexi, who is wanting to talk about her future and is looking for another opportunity at Pain for Pride and Kennedy gets getting more aggravated at Lexi before offering her to be the Showdown representative in the Tri-Brand Specialists Championship Contenders match to which Lexi happily accepts.In the main event of the evening, Impact defeats Ryan Joseph Wilson by rolling him up and hooking the tights. After the match, Impact attacks Ryan before Ms. Extreme comes out and fights Impact off leaving Camille and DOMINION standing tall as Kennedy watches from the medical area with a smile on her face. Finally, Heidi Huxley hosts a contract signing between Adam Lucas and Jake Smith for the Answers World Championship at Pain for Pride. They have a back and forth before signing the contract. Then Jake makes an inappropriate comment about Adam’s wife and Adam snaps before attacking Jake and being broken up. The final shot shows Jake standing on the entrance ramp holding the Answers World Championship in the air as Adam is fighting to get to Jake as the recap ends.)
(“Brick Wall” by A Day to Remember starts playing as Showdown is coming live from the Aubrun Arena in Auburn, Alabama. The crowd in the sold out arena are standing on their feet cheering for another exciting edition of Showdown, but this isn’t just any normal Showdown. This is SUPER SHOWDOWN! They are more excited than usual for all the upcoming action that will no doubt be going on tonight. The camera pans around the arena showing as many fans as possible with their signs and merchandise before finishing at the commentary table where Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting and ready to call the action. )
Deadprez: WE ARE THREE WEEKS AWAY FROM THE EXTRAVAGANZA KNOWN AS PAIN FOR PRIDE! Hello everyone and welcome to a special edition of SATURDAY! NIGHT! SHOWDOWN! Ladies and gentlemen, this is SUPER SHOWDOWN PRESENTS… A-DAY!! I am the one and only Deadprez and alongside the lovely Eve and Gavin Kirkland, we will be calling all the exciting action. Are you guys ready for Super Showdown?
Eve: I am more than excited, Prezzy! There is so much going on tonight. Tonight we will be getting an in-depth look at all three participants in the Specialists Championship Contenders Match. Tri-Branded match at Pain for Pride!!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE ANY TIME SHOWDOWN GOES SUPER! JUST MEANS THAT MUCH MORE ACTION!!! Like tonight, Kyra Philips will go in-depth about our two Showdown Representatives, Alex Myers and Donovan Duke, about their chances to win the Cash in the Vault Ladder match. No doubt that Showdown will bring the briefcase home.
Deadprez: Gavin, your excitement is infectious. Also tonight, I heard that Adam Lucas will be talking about what happened last week on Showdown. There is no doubt that he is still mad at Jake about what he did. Also tonight, we have Mikaela Street with an exclusive interview with Impact. I wonder what he will have to say?
Eve: Anything can happen with Impact on the mic. But also tonight, we will be no doubt finding out more participants for the 24/7 Battle Royal. It’s a hot match and a great way to begin your ascension to the top.
Deadprez: It’s very true, Eve. So many great Elitists have found Title glory thanks to the 24/7 Contract. Finally, tonight it’s official. Ms. Extreme. Kennedy Street. Their match at Pain for Pride will be made official here tonight on Super Showdown. Who knows how this is going to end up… like we didn’t already know.
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S MATCH TIME, PREZZY!! SO MANY MATCHES ON TAP I LOVE A-DAY ALREADY!! Tonight we have a DEBUT ON SHOWDOWN!!! Tonight we will see the debut of Rain Kasey. Tonight she takes on a competitor who won her debut last week in Jamie Kazuki. Will we see another successful debut or will Jamie continue her undefeated ways.
Eve: Also tonight, we have a special Over the Top Rope Challenge match. It’s a preview of the 24/7 Battle Royal at Pain for Pride. It will involve Harley Lewis, Major Scotty Connor, Lucas Johnson, Komatsu Ogawa, Michael Machina, and Nyx. Who will get some momentum for the battle royal? We’ll find out tonight.
Deadprez: We also have one of two interbrand matches tonight. The first will be Dynasty’s Jamie Cross taking on Showdown’s Jon Kelton. These two have big matches at Pain for Pride and one will walk out with the win.
Eve: The other interbrand match tonight is triple threat action. Dyansty’s Joso, Voltage’s Miku Sakai, and Showdown’s Donovan Duke compete in a Cash in the Vault Ladder Match preview match. Who will get the one up before Nashville? That will be tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: Ohh this next match will be huge. Ms. Extreme will be taking on Kennedy Street’s assistant Drake Armstrong in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH! Will Camille work her way to Kennedy Street even more by taking out her assistant or will Kennedy’s guidance lead Drake to the biggest win of his career?
Eve: This match is going to be interesting. It’s Aunt-in-Law versus Niece as “The Mauler” Kassidy Heart takes on the National Elite Champion Veena Adams. The relationship between these two has been noted and both are going into huge matches in a few weeks. This is going to be a fight.
Deadprez: Finally, in our main event, this is a match of huge proportions. Six person tag team action with Answers World Champion Jake Smith teaming with the Unified Tag Champions POTARA to take on King of Elite Adam Lucas, Hans Grayson, and Alex Myers. All six people are involved in huge title matches and who will walk out victorious. That’s tonight. But right now let’s take it to the ring with the lovely Gina Romano to kick off SUPER SHOWDOWN!!
(“You know my name” by Chris Cornell kicks in over the PA system, the arena immediately breaking out in bedlam knowing what this means. As the music plays, the crowd get more and more raucous as all eyes turn towards the top of the ramp.)
Deadprez: Looks like we are going to get an impromptu visit from the number one contender to the Answers World Championship, and after the events of last week, you gotta believe he isn’t going to be happy.
Eve: For sure. Adam thought that he and Jake were friends. He was expecting this to be simply a battle of who is best. Jake made it something entirely different with his comments last week, comments that whether he will admit it or not, got under Adam’s skin.
Gavin Kirkland: Look, I think we can all agree Adam loves his wife. But this is a business, and people will use whatever means they can to get an advantage. Adam needs to recognize that he can’t allow Beth to be his Achilles heel.
Eve: I don’t think it is that simple for someone like Adam who wears his heart on his sleeve.
(Finally, Adam appears in the entranceway, but there is none of his usual character, and he most certainly isn’t smiling. Instead, he nods his gratitude for the reaction, and makes his way down the ramp, with microphone already in hand.)
Deadprez: Well, I think that has answered that question. Adam looks just about as determined as I have ever seen him.
(Adam slides under the bottom rope and into the ring, the noise escalating still further as he stands in the middle, looking out over the EAW Universe. He doesn’t wait, nor does he give any warning to the team in charge of his music. Instead, he starts to speak over it.
Adam Lucas: In this business, it’s difficult to have any allies, even more so friends. It seems that no matter what, eventually ego gets in the way. A need to succeed over the other. I’ve always tried to stay true to any alliances, even when someone like Amir Yusef tested me to the limit, knowing that eventually I’d probably be stabbed in the back. Jake Smith… What you did last week was worse than that.
(Adam paces the ring, his head bowed. He’d given this a lot of thought over the week and knew exactly what he needed to say.)
Deadprez: Adam keeping his emotions in check, but it’s obvious that they are bubbling under the surface.
Eve: This is difficult for him, no question about it.
Adam Lucas: I remember us right back at the start of the season, and our battles that set up this year. We spoke a lot about ‘business’ and doing what it took to succeed. Heck, I even remember giving you a shot to the soldiers, based on that exact logic. I understood that, and still do, and I was ready for anything that you threw at me at Pain for Pride, as you bent the rules to almost breaking point to keep a hold of that title. What I didn’t expect, was you doing something I would expect from Impact. I didn’t think for one second that you would bring my personal life to the table. You see, I make a big thing out of the two different aspects of my life. The Adam Lucas you see on television, breaking boundaries and pushing himself to the limits is not necessarily the guy you would see at home binge watching on Netflix. At home, I have a quiet life, and I like it that way. A life very much removed from this industry. I think over the course of this year, it has become more than clear that my wife means everything to me, I would literally die for her if it were required. You knew that didn’t you Jake, and that’s why you had to use it against me. You knew that unless you got me out of my focused mindset, there wasn’t a cat in hells chance that you could win at Pain for Pride.
(As the narrative continues, the edge in his voice starts to build, his anger floating to the surface and becoming more and more evident. He had felt let down by Jake, but now, he just wanted him to suffer for his words.)
Adam Lucas: Jake, I said over the course of this week, that you had awoken something that you don’t know how to handle. A man that has defeated some of the most brutal individuals in our industry at their own game. You opened a book, to which you will not be awake to see its final chapter. What you did Jake, was made potentially one of the most epic Answers World Championships, into something else. A battle that now, I cannot allow you to walk away from. YOU Jake, purposely made this personal. And now, I implore you… do NOT make this any worse, or any more personal than it has already become. Yes, you where an ally does not question it, a friend even. But last week, I saw you for exactly the man you are, a man weakened by the demands of that title belt. So, my final act of friendship towards you Jake, I’m going to do you one last favor and take that burden away from you. This is not a river, in which you need to be paddling upstream.
Deadprez: Adam making it perfectly clear that Jake’s words are not going to go unpunished, but it this exactly what Jake Smith wanted. Adam to become unhinged and unfocussed?
Gavin Kirkland: That is exactly what Jake is doing Prez, and it seems to be working.
(“War” by Grandson kicks in, and once again the fans jump to their feet as Jake Smith walks through the curtain with the biggest grin on his face. Adam turns to face him, his eyes narrowing. Jake just lifts his hand and waves, tapping the Answers World Championship belt draped over his shoulder.)
Deadprez: Business just picked up a notch, the Answers World Champion out here and looking very pleased for himself.
Eve: After listening to Adam, that’s no great surprise. He must be ecstatic at the reaction.
(The music dies down, Adam just staring down Jake who holds up his hands.)
Jake Smith: Whoa… easy with the animosity there big man. We don’t need that blood pressure going through the roof and you not getting medically cleared for the biggest night of your life, do we?
(Adam doesn’t answer and just continues to stare at him, Jake however continues.)
Jake Smith: Oh, I get it. You’re being the strong, silent type now huh? Or is it that little old me has gotten under that skin a little more than you’d like, and found exactly the right button to press?
(Adam lifts the mic to his lips, Jake pausing to allow him to speak.)
Adam Lucas: You’re not under my skin Jake. I’m just disappointed to have found out who you really are.
Jake Smith: Disappointed? Bro, you’re starting to sound like my parents. I told you months ago, this is only business. YOU are the one who has decided to make it personal, not me.
Adam Lucas: Is that right?
Jake Smith: For sure. I mean, if my comments have made you lose focus, then that only serves to help me doesn’t it?
Adam Lucas: I’m more focused than I have ever been.
Jake Smith: Weelllllll, I’m not quite sure these people in this arena believe you, and I most certainly don’t. Look at it this way Adam, I could have just outwrestled you, but this is Pain for Pride, so where is the fun in that. I still got your back Adam, it just that we are competing over this bad boy over my shoulder, and with that, it means anything goes. Anything can be weaponized if you try hard enough. You’re just antsy that I can do things that you won’t, and that’s why I will leave Pain for Pride, the exact way I enter it… as the Answers World Champion. Because you simply don’t have the mentality to make it work.
(Jake lowers his mic, smirking at the crowd, some booing and some cheering. He shifts the belt symbolically on his shoulder, waiting for Adam to respond. Adam closes his eyes, doing his best to compose himself.)
Deadprez: Adam trying to keep that pent up aggression at bay, but really struggling with it.
Eve: That’s the kind of man he is, and Jake has really tapped into that like no one else has managed this season. He’s got to get a grip on it, because otherwise it could cost him.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas is like a volcano right now, just about to erupt. Jake needs to be careful what he is doing here.
(Adam opens his eyes, and looks over the crowd, and finally a smile forms on his face, followed by a chuckle, and then a full-on laugh. The camera pans to Jake who is scowling, not quite sure what is going on. Adam then lifts the mic, turning back to Jake.)
Adam Lucas: See Jake, you think you know me so well. I mean, you haven’t even considered the fact that my annoyance may well be because of me getting my fair share of shit for something my wife did, and nothing to do with you.
Jake Smith: Yeah right
Adam Lucas: You believe that you have gotten under my skin, and what was it you said, know the right buttons to press. But you can’t know me, you just can’t, or you wouldn’t have conceded the Answers World Championship so pitifully. Oh yeah, you’ve gotten under my skin, you’ve raised my ire and yeah, I’m more than a little pissed right now, but I am most certainly ‘in control’, in the same way I have been all season. See, you mentioned that anything can be weaponized, and your right, it can. And this anger I am feeling right now that sheer ferocity, I am going to let it all out at the biggest show of them all. Just like when I faced TLA, I’ll be totally in control, knowing what I must do. And Jake, I promise you… you won’t be able to handle it. Then, when Pain for Pride ends, and you are no longer champion, you’ll have to look yourself in the mirror, knowing that you are to blame. All because you started a game that you cannot win. This is ALL about the Answers World Champion Jake, and I will never deviate from that. Kicking your ass in Beth’s honor will just be another added benefit.
Deadprez: Adam making it clear that yes, he is angry but far from unfocussed. If he can use that anger in the right way, could that make him unstoppable?
Gavin Kirkland: Or is Jake Smith, right? Is Jake making this about anything but the Championship belt on purpose.
(Jake looks at Adam and shakes his head, once again lifting his mic.)
Jake Smith: Oh Adam, we can all see it. You say the words, but you don’t mean them. I’ve got you like a puppet on a string, and with each passing minute the title becomes less important, and all you want to do is hurt me, and for what? In your words, childish insults. Look at it this way man, it’s not my fault that your wife was so gullible, that I got everything out of it that I wanted…
Gavin Kirkland: Jake going for the jugular here
Jake Smith: And anyway, we’re friends right, you should be happy. Friends share everything don’t they?
(He looks Adam directly in the eyes, making sure he feels every single word.)
Jake Smith: In fact, you and I are more than friends, we are Eskimo Brothers, I mean, I know I got there first and you got my sloppy seconds but…
(The crowd ‘Oooo’s’, Adam scrunching up his nose, and dropping the mic to the floor. Jake starts to laugh, as Adam looks out over the crowd, before then abruptly sliding under the bottom rope and sprinting up the ramp.)
Deadprez: Adam going after Jake, and Jake is out of here.
(Jake sprints through the curtain, Adam running up the ramp and to the back, his eyes scanning the Gorilla Position but unable to find who he is looking for. Adam takes a deep breath, looking at the official who he recognizes as the one he punched last week, who is worried that it might happen again.)
Adam Lucas: Don’t worry bro… not this time.
(Adam walks off and away from the camera.)
Adam Lucas: You’ll keep Jake. I’ll see you in the main event.
(As he walks away, Jake steps out of the shadows, the grin still evident on his face.)
Jake Smith: You most certainly will Adam.
(He walks off in the opposite direction, as the scene cuts away to an ad for Pain For Pride.)
(As the ad ends, the camera fades into the ring with Gina Romano to announce the first match of Super Showdown. “Metamorphosis” by Blue Stahli plays through the arena as Jamie Kazuki comes out to cheers. The crowd knows her and they’re starting to get accustomed. She looks at the crowd before running down the ramp and entering the ring.)
Gina Romano: THIS OPENING MATCH OF SUPER SHOWDOWN: A-DAY IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL WITH A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT, INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM TOKYO JAPAN, JAMIE KAZUKI!
(‘Nxde’ by (G) I-DLE ft. Steve Aoki plays through the arena speakers as Rain Kasey comes out to boos. Some of these fans know who she is and what her attitude is like, not being fooled by her fake smiles. She walks down the ramp as she looks over at her opponent, staring her down.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, FROM SENDAI, JAPAN, THE VALKYRIE OF VIOLENCE, RAIN KASEY!
(DING! DING! DING)
Gavin Kirkland: Two extremely fast and efficient fighters ready to go at it right now! Jamie and Rain seem to have some respect for each other, but that can change very quickly as the time goes on! Both of them are circling the ring, and they decide to go for a tie-up! Jamie gets the upper hand at first, throwing Rain over for a hip throw! It works, as Rain gets up! This woman clearly has that dawg in her and she doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon!
Eve: Rain rushes at Jamie again, taking her down with a double leg! She’s mounted on her and she’s getting ready to go ham, as she proceeds to send several shots into her guard! Her high guard is blocking most of them, though!
Deadprez: And Rain pulls them right off and Jamie is pissed! Jamie pushes Rain off her and now they’re right back to a pose! Both of them nod, and now they’re trading shots! They’re just brawling inside that ring, and it’s clear that they’re ready to show EAW some next level Joshi action! Rain is landing more shots, but Jamie’s shots are more devastating as it takes only three to cause Rain to stagger back!
Gavin Kirkland: And Jamie sends a strong ass chop into Rain’s chest! It sounded like a gunshot and Jamie does it again! Three chops and Rain comes back with a headbutt! Both of these women are unloading strikes and it’s not even three minutes in! Jamie staggers back as Rain puts her down with a dropkick! It’s a full contact show in this town as Jamie gets back up, slams the mat and Rain runs over her! Jamie rebounds off the ropes, and they collide with both knees!
Eve: And they eat it! They just took their shots to the jaw and they’re still going! Now they’re trading kicks at each other, left kick, right kick, kick to the stomach and to the chest, holy hell! This is a full on MMA fight right here and I cannot believe my eyes! These two girls are wrestling each other like they used to back in the old days! Who needs Tyson vs Usyk, you got this right here! Rain comes in with a heavy right hook! Jamie returns fire!
Deadprez: But Rain ducks under and she lifts Jamie up for a Belly to Back Suplex! It takes Jamie out! Jamie just got tossed over her head but no! She’s still going! Jamie gets up and she slaps Rain right in the face! Rain takes it and rallies with an elbow, but Jamie sends a devastating running headbutt, which Rain just smiles at! Both of these women are CRAZY! It’s both creepy and hot at the same time. I’m getting—
Gavin Kirkland: And they call me the creepy one? Shame. Rain and Jamie are extremely wonderful women. I like to see them slap each other up! Jamie comes in with another headbutt of her own, but Rain sends another headbutt which makes Jamie’s neck curl back! That looked pretty damn nasty, not even gonna lie to you! This might lead into someone getting hurt pretty badly here!
Eve: This is what the business is for, Gavin. Pain! Both of these women are showing out here, both of them really fresh into the mix of things! Jamie staggers back as Rain comes in and she’s going hard here! Rain is unloading several shots into her abdomen and proceeds to send a knee into her gut! Jamie is rolling around the ring as Rain rebounds off the ropes— BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! FEELINGS OF DESPAIR CONNECTS! JAMIE IS DOWN AND RAIN GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: No! Jamie is still standing, but it’s clear her gut and breathing is erratic right now! She’s not in the best shape and Rain is taking advantage of this! Jamie is getting pretty beat up and there’s a bruise starting to form there! Rain lifts her up and sends her right into her knee for a gutbuster! This is starting to look like a calculated form of punishment by the Killer Kawaii here! Killer Kawaii is looking to kill her opponent right now! Not even gonna lie here, we might need medical support!
Gavin Kirkland: Jamie tries to stand up, but Rain throws her out of the ring! Jamie grabs onto the apron but Rain rebounds off the ropes and sends both of her knees into Jamie’s spine! Jamie just took those knees to the spine but she’s still holding on! How the hell? Rain tries again, but Jamie manages to intercept her and hook her legs around Rain’s neck! She just took knees to the face but it doesn’t seem to faze her! She wants to take Rain out no matter what! She pulls Rain down and Rain is tossed out of the ring here!
Eve: And Jamie climbs up the top rope! Rain is down and Jamie takes flight! SHOOTING STAR PRESS! It just took Rain out, and Jamie is hyped up right now! She has the crowd behind her as she throws Rain around the outside! She throws her right into the staircase and proceeds to smash her face in! Rain smiles, as she lifts Jamie up, but Jamie uses her legs and wraps it around her arm, pulling it back to a point where it might actually break it! It doesn’t though!
Deadprez: And Jamie proceeds to continue her onslaught! She pulls Rain in for a ripcord knee, and it connects! The referee is already at his six count, forcing her to toss Rain back inside! It’s clear she would much rather be continuing her brutalization, but what can she do? She pulls Rain in, and hits her with a DDT, but she does not let go! Rain is being pulled up as Jamie throws her right down on the ground with a devastating Reverse STO, following it up with a Koji Clutch! Rain’s arm is being pulled to the max here, and it’s not looking good!
Gavin Kirkland: Oof, that has to hurt! Jamie is pulling on it like an assassin would, absolutely maniac as she makes Rain scream! She’s trying to hold her together but Rain is fighting out of it! Rain feels the legs tightening around her neck as Jamie is choking the life out of her! You can hear her legitimately gasp for air as Jamie tries to make her fade, but Rain is still fighting! She closes her eyes and tries to tire Jamie out, but Jamie easily gives up!
Eve: She probably should’ve been a bit more persistent with that, if you ask me! She gave up too easily on that one, and that might have cost her a victory here! Rain is down, and she’s trying to rest, as Jamie attempts send a Meteora— but no! Rain dodges and pulls down the turnbuckle in the process, leading Jamie to send her knees into metal! Rain is smiling as she sends repeated kicks into her chest, trying to break her ribs and all sorts of bones in there! What a sadist, I love it! There’s so much kicks and striking everywhere!
Deadprez: Jamie takes the legs and tries to take her down, but Rain does a backflip and sends a superkick into her face! Jamie goes down to a knee, as Rain rebounds off the turnbuckle and sends her face first with a curb stomp! Scary part, Rain is smiling throughout all of this! She raises two middle fingers in the air and it’s clearly not something Disney would like to be seeing right now, but what can they do? Rain pulls Jamie and she’s trying to go for another cover here, hoping to finally end the match right here!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! SHE STILL KICKS OUT! Jamie is still fighting no matter what and Rain’s smile is starting to turn into a frown! Jamie smiles at her and spits right in her face, as Rain proceeds to send her knee into her jaw multiple times! Jamie dodges one of it, before proceeding to have Rain into a headlock and drives her right into the ground! Now it’s Rain that’s knocked out! It’s Jamie’s turn to go for the cover here! Can she end it right here?
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Eve: No! Jamie doesn’t put Rain away and Rain is still fighting, but she doesn’t have anything to fire back! She’s tired and down, as Jamie pulls her up, sending repeated European Uppercuts into her jaw! Now it’s Jamie pulling the momentum back in her favour! Rain comes in with several body shots but that doesn’t faze Jamie at all! She’s still pushing as she continues to send uppercuts from both hands! Rain eats these shots but not for long, as she’s dropped to a knee! Jamie tries to apply the Koji Clutch again but Rain sees this and she immediately grabs the knee and elbows it!
Deadprez: CRUNCH! That must’ve broke a few bones in there or two, man. That hurts. Especially with how brutal Rain did it, I’m surprised Jamie is still alive! Both of these ladies are giving each other pure brutality and showing out here, and why shouldn’t they? This is an opportunity here! We’re in Showdown where real fighters are produced and pushed to the moon, and both of these ladies are showing that they are truly real fighters! Real and legitimate brawlers and technically proficient combatants here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: Rain is grabbing ahold of that leg as she tries for a knee bar, but Jamie easily fights out of it and proceeds to kick Rain in the face as hard as she can! Now it’s Rain feeling the brunt of her good leg! Jamie transitions and as the superior grappler, she easily applies a knee bar which Rain is struggling to get out of here! Will she tap? She’s going for the ropes, and the question is, can she reach them? I’m starting to think that she may be able to, as Rain is proceeding to grab ahold of it right now! She breaks the hold, and Jamie is frustrated! She thought she had her there, and passion is taking over her! She stomps on the back of Rain’s knee, showing her dirtiness as well!
Eve: They’re both willing to take it as far as they want to, and that’s what I love about this match! There is zero hesitation from these two warriors and Jamie pulls Rain, as she lifts her up for a German Suplex! She turns around, and she does the same again, but this time Rain lands neck first on the exposed turnbuckle from earlier! This is insane, and honestly I’m starting to feel like this is personal here! It’s looking like both of these women are at each other’s throats and I’m not complaining! This is excellent wrestling from these two!
Deadprez: Wrestling? We’re watching a UFC match right now! It’s filling my cravings of excellent striking and combat, as these two ladies are showing what they have and leaving it all out there! They’re emptying their tank and it’s going to be interesting to see if they can even walk back to the locker room later tonight! They’re looking at each other like there are evil thoughts running through their mind right now! Jamie and Rain decide to grapple it out, as Rain is trying to outgrapple Jamie but she’s easily overpowering her!
Gavin Kirkland: Rain knows she can’t outwrestle Jamie, so she has to outsmart here! Jamie tries to go for a sprawl, but Rain grabs her leg and manages to turn her around, sending a knee right into her face! Jamie is looking like she’s lost, as Rain goes for several roundhouse kicks to different body parts! Rain and Jamie are going hard here, as the timer starts to tick! Rain pulls Jamie in, and she has her in a Canadian Destroyer Styles Clash position! She turns around, PANIC ATTACK! THE PANIC ATTACK CONNECTS AND JAMIE IS OUT! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: AND YOUR WINNER, RAIN KASEY!
Eve: What a war, seriously! Kudos to both ladies for giving us a show of what they have in store and their different skills! We can’t wait to see them both in action again!
(‘Nxde’ by (G) I-DLE ft. Steve Aoki plays through the speakers as Rain Kasey is struggling to walk back to the locker room. Jamie is being tended to by medical and iced up, as both these women look at each other and give a cold stare. Rain’s smile has faded as the crowd boos her, fading to a commercial break.)
( Showdown returns from a commercial break with Gina Romano standing in the middle of the ring, accompanied by Harley Lewis, Michael Machina, Major Michael Scotty Connor, Lucas Johnson, Komatsu Ogawa, and Nxy standing surrounding her. Gina smiles at the camera and starts announcing this match. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A 24/7 BATTLE ROYALE PREVIEW MATCH!… AND IT’S OVER THE TOP ROPE CHALLENGE MATCH!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Gina Romano: The rules for the 24/7 battle royale are to throw your opponent over the top rope, and the last person standing will be crowned the winner of this match!…. AND IT STARTS NOW!
( Gina leaves the ring as everybody starts preparing themselves for the bell to ring, signaling the start of this match. )
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: 24/7 Battle Royale Preview Over The Top Rope Challenge is on its way and here we go! Michael goes after Harley and both men start fighting each other. Lucas goes after Nyx, and Scotty goes after Ogawa! Everybody has their own thing to deal with at this point, but there is going to be only one person walking out of this match with a victory in their hands!
Deadprez: Ogawa grabs Scotty and tries to throw him out of this match earlier, but Scotty counters with a back elbow, sending Ogawa back inside the ring. Cutting back to Nyx and Lucas, Lucas starts beating her down at the corner, not giving her a chance to live up at all! He uses all those stomps, cornering her and keeping her down on the ground while Micahel and Harley exchange right-hand blows! Both men are going nonstop against each other right over there!
Eve: Michael grabs Harley this time, intending to send him into the empty corner. But Harley swiftly moves out of harm’s way, dodging the attack. Michael quickly follows up by attempting a shoulder tackle right to Harley’s gut, but Harley evades it by moving to the apron, leaving Michael to crash back inside the ring. Harley capitalizes with a jumping kick from the apron, catching Michael off guard. Harley then springboards off the top rope, REENTERING THE RING AND TAKING DOWN MICHAEL WITH A SPRINGBOARD ELBOW DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: Nyx and Lucas continue their intense fight, with Nyx fighting back and pushing Lucas away with forceful strikes. Lucas starts to retreat, feeling the power of Nyx’s attacks coming straight to his face. Nyx relentlessly punches him, keeping Lucas down and then grabbing him, attempting to throw him over the top rope and eliminate him. However, Lucas counters by using a right boot to kick the middle rope, causing it to rebound into Nyx’s gut, delivering a back elbow strike that momentarily doubles her over!
Deadprez: Scotty and Ogawa attempt to eliminate each other, but Ogawa interrupts the process by delivering a powerful right hook that sends Scotty stumbling down to the middle of the ring. Scotty, however, quickly recovers and charges at Ogawa…. But Ogawa ducks under Society’s attack, maneuvers behind him, and shoves him forward….. connects with a Ripcord Yakuza Kick, striking Scotty with precision!
Eve: Harley then assists Michael in getting back to his feet, DELIVERING A SWIFT SHIN KICK… FOLLOWED BY A CAPOEIRA KICK DIRECTLY AIMED AT MICHAEL’S HEAD! Rolling back, Harley continues his attack by TAKING MICHAEL DOWN WITH A COMBINATION OF A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Now shifting his focus to everyone in the vicinity, Harley charges at Ogawa, who has managed to regain his footing….
Eve: Ogawa turns around and attempts a quick superkick, but Harley ducks underneath it, COUNTERING WITH A JUMPING KICK THAT CONNECTS WITH OGAWA!… FOLLOWING UP WITH A CRESCENT KICK!…. Harley rolls back, creating distance before quickly running down and TAKING OGAWA OUT WITH A RUNNING METEORA!
Deadprez: Here comes Scotty from behind, trying to throw Harley down to the outside, but Harley stops, changing position and tossing Scotty over the ropes instead. But Scotty lands on the apron, quickly reentering the ring and charging at Harley…. BUT HARLEY QUICKLY POSITIONS SCOTTY ON HIS SHOULDERS AND DROPS HIM TO THE GROUND WITH A POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas Johnson runs in, looking to drop Harley all of a sudden with the ‘The Blueprint’ Cutter, but Harley tosses him to the ropes, LETTING HIM BOUNCE OFF AND SNATCHING HIM QUICKLY, COUNTERING LUCAS WITH A QUICK INVERTED DDT!
Eve: Harley is taking everybody out by himself, but Nyx is still the only one left to deal with. Nyx comes from behind, trying to put Lucas down with the ‘Nirvana’ Spear, but Harley pops Nyx on his shoulders and QUICKLY TAKES HER DOWN WITH THE ‘JUKEBOX BREAKER’ DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! DOWN GOES NYX, WITH HARLEY PULLING HER BACK TO HER FEET… AND SENDING HER TO OUTSIDE! NYX IS ELIMINATED! SHE’S OUT!
Gina Romano: NYX HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Deadprez: Nyx is gone from this match, which is quite unfortunate for her to be in that position. The crowd now starts booing loudly, expressing their displeasure with Harley’s strong effort in taking her out quickly!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Harley Lewis: (Off-Mic) HAHAHHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! BOO ME ALL YOU WANT, MATES!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
( As soon as Harley turns around, everybody targets him. Lucas, Michael, Scotty, and Ogawa, all seeking revenge for what he just did to each of them. )
Harley Lewis: (Off-Mic) :woah: LET’S SETTLE DOWN! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS!-
Gavin Kirkland: It’s deja vu for Harley Lewis right there as everybody now jumps on him! Michael, Ogawa, Lucas, Scotty – all four men raining down stomps on him and showing no mercy for what he just begged for! Harley is in shambles at the moment!
Deadprez: Now with Harley going downhill, everybody turns to the fight, with Ogawa going right after Michael. Scotty goes after Lucas, delivering a knee to the gut repeatedly. Meanwhile, Michael starts fighting back and tries to push Ogawa away from him!
Gavin Kirkland: Michael now grabs Ogawa and sends him down to the ropes, with Ogawa rebounding back. Michael goes for the ‘Money Shot’ Clothesline from Hell to Ogawa, but Ogawa rolls underneath his arm, quickly returning to his feet. He counters Michael from behind WITH A HOOK KICK! Ogawa seizes the moment and turns Michael around…
Gavin Kirkland: LOOKING FOR THE ‘IRISH COFFEE’ RIPCORD LARIAT, BUT INSTEAD, MICHAEL CATCHES OGAWA, TOSSING HIM OVER HIS HEAD WITH A BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX!
Eve: Lucas now starts giving Scotty a hard time to fight with, keeping him locked in at the corner, raining down stomps on his gut! Lucas whips Scotty to the opposite corner, seizing him and DROPPING HIM WITH A BIG CLOTHESLINE! He quickly runs back and continues his assault with a combination, THIS TIME FOLLOWING UP WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Deadprez: Lucas changes his target as Harley starts returning to his feet, trying to strike Lucas from behind. But Lucas manages to stay awake, avoiding the attack and quickly grabbing Harley, throwing him over his head with a German Suplex!
Eve: Lucas changes his target once again, now focusing on Michael, who fights back by pushing Ogawa away from him. Michael then looks for A QUICK ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ SPEAR THAT COULD CUT OGAWA IN HALF!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas runs from behind Ogawa and CONTINUES TARGETING MICHAEL WITH A SHINING WIZARD, taking him down in a mid-run! Ogawa now returns to his feet and quickly grabs Lucas, attempting to throw his former tag team partner down to the outside of the ring for an elimination. But Lucas pulls a stop once again, grabbing Ogawa and quickly CONNECTING WITH ‘THE BLUEPRINT’ CUTTER! OGAWA IS DOWN, AND NOW LUCAS PICKS HIM UP!… TOSSING HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! OGAWA IS ELIMINATED! HE’S GONE!
Deadprez: No, Ogawa hangs in there! Ogawa lands on the apron and still remains in this match! Lucas comes back, trying to tackle him off the apron, but Ogawa catches him and sends him back into the ring with a right hand across Lucas’ face! Ogawa now seizes the ropes and looks to pop off the top rope for a Springboard Double Knee Strike!
Eve: ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ IN THE MID-AIR!!!!!!! A MID-AIR SPEAR SHUTS OGAWA DOWN! MICHAEL GRABS HIM AND TAKES A SWING!… OGAWA IS GONE!
Gina Romano: KOMATSU OGAWA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Gavin Kirkland: Now it’s down to the final four of this match: Michael Machina, Lucas Johnson, Harley Lewis, and Major Michael Scott Connor. Nobody is waiting anymore! Michael steps in and starts throwing punches against Scotty, while Harley goes after Lucas Johnson! Lucas tries to eliminate Harley quickly, but HARLEY DOESN’T THINK SO AND KEEPS HIM DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH A FLYING KNEE RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE! HE GRABS LUCAS AGAIN AND CONNECTS WITH A MUAY THAI KNEE IN A FLASH!
Eve: Harley shifts his focus to Michael, who just finished dealing with Scotty and caused him to be down on the apron! Michael turns back around, wasting no time and looking for ANOTHER ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ SPEAR AT HARLEY…. BUT HARLEY QUICKLY JUMPS OVER HIM, EVADING THE ATTACK! Michael pulls up a brake, stopping in front of the corner, and swiftly turns around, TURNING BACK AROUND AS HARLEY DELIVERING A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO MICHAEL! HARLEY FOLLOWS UP WITH A LEG SWEEP INTO A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!…. but Michael catches him with both knees lifted high in the air, causing Harley to land on his gut onto them!
Deadprez: Michael drags Harley back to his feet, looking to send him to the outside with a powerful throw, but Harley manages to land on the apron just in time! Michael now tries to get him over the ropes, but Harley resists, refusing to leave this ring until he earns a win back home!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas, sneaking up from behind, grabs Michael and tosses him over the ropes on the opposite side of the ring instead! OH NO, MICHAEL IS GONE!
Eve: No, no, Michael hangs on! Michael is still on the apron with Lucas throwing a hard jab to send Michael off the apron, but Michael catches his arm and drags him over the ropes with him! Michael now grabs Lucas and quickly throws him up high into the air, sending his back crashing down onto the apron with a Black Hole Slam!…..
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUCAS FIGHTS BACK! Lucas starts using his right elbow, striking the head of Michael, trying to get free as he lands both feet before continuing to unleash strikes while he’s on the apron, delivering a big uppercut!…. SCOTTY COMES IN AND TACKLES LUCAS OFF THE APRON! HE’S ELIMINATED!
Gina Romano: LUCAS JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Deadprez: Now it’s down to three! Michael, Scotty, and Harley! One of these three will be the winner of this match here tonight, but it has to be only one man who will survive this match and solidify themselves as the potential winner of the 24/7 Battle Royale! Michael rests on the apron while Scotty turns back around, and Harley GREETS HIM WITH AN ELBOW SMASH, FOLLOWED BY TAKING DOWN SCOTTY WITH A STANDING SHIRANUI!
Eve: Harley takes down Scotty, with Michael making his way back into the ring. Harley turns back around and charges at Michael, looking to take him down too. But Michael ducks under and pops him up to the top corner, stepping in and attempting to push Harley off the top corner, causing him to fall to the outside, but Harley counters with a kick to his face, stepping up to the top corner, and LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF THE TOP, TAKING DOWN MICHAEL WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley is not going down without a fight! Michael catches him and lifts him up in the air, attempting to send Harley over the ropes with a Gorilla Press Slam. But Harley struggles and manages to land on both feet on the apron! Michael turns around, charging in and aiming for a Big Boot to send Harley flying off the apron, but Harley catches him, grabbing the ropes, and counters with a Step Up Enzuigiri from the apron!
Deadprez: SCOTTY COMES FROM BEHIND, SCOOPING MICHAEL AND ATTEMPTING TO SEND HIM OVER THE ROPES, BUT MICHAEL ALSO LANDS ON THE SAME APRON WHERE HARLEY IS STANDING! Scotty looks back and tries to take down both men, but MICHAEL CATCHES HIM BY THE THROAT, STOPPING HIM, AND TOSSES SCOTTY TOWARDS HARLEY…. HARLEY QUICKLY RUSHES DOWN AND DELIVERS A RUNNING HEADBUTT TO SCOTTY!
Eve: Harley and Michael are now on the apron, looking at each other, and it seems like they’re about to tear each other apart right now! Harley runs in confidently, aiming to take down Michael, but Michael stops him in his tracks with a powerful Big Boot to his jaw! Michael now charges in again, attempting to be the one to take Harley down this time, but Harley counters with a strong Shoulder Tackle, momentarily halting Michael’s momentum!….
Deadprez: HARLEY SEIZES MICHAEL UP ON HIS SHOULDERS, PREPARING TO DELIVER THE DEVASTATING ‘JUKEBOX BREAKDOWN’ DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! IF MICHAEL CAN’T FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE, HE’LL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: Michael struggles to his feet, still on the apron. Harley charges in, but Michael quickly seizes him… GRABBING HIM AND TURNING HIM INTO ‘THE FLATLINE’ STRETCH MUFFLER SUBMISSION HOLD!
Gavin Kirkland: Both men are still on the apron, but Michael has Harley locked in tight. Harley is going nowhere! He’s already tapping out, but that doesn’t mean Michael can eliminate him because, in this match, there are no pinfalls or submissions! The only way to win is by throwing your opponents out of the ring!
Eve: Harley is already done…. and MICHAEL RELEASES HIM! HARLEY FALLS TO THE GROUND! HARLEY LEWIS IS ELIMINATED!
Gina Romano: HARLEY LEWIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( Michael starts recovering on the apron, turning around and facing Scotty, who just recovered from the headbutt he received from Harley Lewis earlier. Both men lock eyes with each other, with the crowd firmly supporting Scotty. Scotty takes a step back, lowering his hands, signaling for Michael to come back into the ring and give him a fair fight. )
Gavin Kirkland: Now there will be only one man walking out of this match with a victory in their hand. Will it be Michael or Scotty?
Deadprez: With Scotty’s invitation, Michael enters the ring, and both men quickly lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up, just like the start of a real match! Scotty goes behind, taking Michael down and attempting a Reverse Chinlock, but Michael kicks him away and rolls back to his feet!
Eve: Michael initially takes Scotty down with an arm drag, but Scotty quickly retaliates and brings Michael down with an arm drag of his own! Both competitors are showing their agility and quick recoveries in this intense matchup! Michael grabs and looks for a Belly to Back Suplex, but Scotty switches things around and goes behind, taking down Michael quickly with a German Suplex! The tables are turned, and now it’s Scotty’s time to shine!
Gavin Kirkland: MICHAEL HOLDS THE BACK OF HIS NECK, WHILE SCOTTY SEIZES HIM FROM THE FRONT, LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND AND ‘TAPS’ SEALS MICHAEL’S FATE! A LEAPING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT CONNECTS! HE’S DOWN! SCOTTY HAS THIS!
Deadprez: Scotty now grabs Michael by his feet and sends him down to the outsideeeeeee AH! Not close!
Gavin Kirkland: Michael still hangs onto it! He’s on the apron! Michael grabs the rope and starts coming back, with Scotty running across, trying to tackle him and take him out for good. But Michael moves out of his way and delivers a kick right to Scotty’s face! Michael rejoins inside the ring, waiting for Scotty to turn around to face him…… SOCTTY TURNS… POPPING HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AND ‘.50 CAL’ SITOUT POWERBOMB IMMEDIATELY PLANTS!
Gavin Kirkland: Michael grabs…. AND HE’S OUT! MICHAEL TOSSES SCOTTY OVER THE ROPES AND HE’S THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH! SCOTTY IS DONE!
Gina Romano: MAJOR MICHAEL SCOTTY CONNOR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!…. MICHAEL MACHINA!
Gavin Kirkland: STILL UNDEFEATED! Michael Machina has been dominating every newcomer in this way, showcasing nothing but his dominance leading up to this match! Michael remains a strong contender, and soon, he may have a chance to become the winner of the 24/7 Battle Royale this year!
Eve: Michael has been staying strong since his debut, and we have high hopes for his performance in the 24/7 Battle Royale at Pain For Pride 16!
( ‘Position Of Power’ by 50 Cent begins playing as Michael Machina sits down, visibly exhausted from the intense fight he has endured in this over-the-top-rope challenge. Meanwhile, Scotty sits there, appearing somewhat disappointed in his own performance. The final shot captures Michael catching his breath and raising both hands up high in victory, proclaiming him as the winner of this match. Then the scene fades away, shifting focus elsewhere. )
(The scene cuts away to Mikaela Street, who is standing by, waiting for her cue.)
Mikaela Street: Good evening, I hope you are enjoying the show thus far. I’m here with a special report on the Cross Brand Triple Threat match that will take place at Pain for Pride and will decide the number one contender going forwards for the Specialists Championship. We now know our three Elitist’s that will take to that ring in just a few short weeks, and without a doubt, it could turn out to be a standout match at that event.
(Mikaela takes a moment to gather her thoughts before continuing.)
Mikaela Street: Voltage’s representative we now know will be Usagi Senshi, who this season tried her luck in the singles division and certainly hasn’t disappointed. Slowly but surely, she has earned herself a reputation as a tough competitor and she will be looking to stake her claim for Gold in the new season, wherever the draft for Season Seventeen might take her. However, although Usagi’s claims are most certainly warranted, over on Dynasty there is no question that Jamie Cross is the talk of the town and well thought of by the red brands management, his place in this match evidencing just how far they believe he can go. Jamie is a young and vibrant star, who has very quickly earned herself a huge following, and at Pain for Pride there is no doubt she will want to keep this run going, and to continue making waves. And then finally, we have Showdown’s representative in this match, Lexi, who finally gets a chance to shine on the biggest stage of them all. The last time she got this opportunity was the infamous ‘Mud Bath’ match with Dr. Bethany Blue in 2020, and since then she has had to watch the ‘Good Doctor’ evolve, so much so that she will main-event Pain for Pride. Their careers may have differed, but this is a chance for Lexi to rectify that and stake a claim of her own at last.
(Mikaela smiles having spoken off all three competitors. After allowing the viewers to digest that information, she continues with a little more in-depth explanation of their attributes.)
Mikaela Street: Let’s look a bit deeper now shall we and explore the characteristics of all three, and the strengths and weaknesses that could make a difference. First, Usagi has had to carry a lot of emotional baggage from her time in the Ice Ace’s, and because of that she has endured some tough losses, losses that she will probably believe she shouldn’t have experienced. That said, no matter who she has faced this season, she has never let herself down, and shown just how tough she is, and how difficult it is to put her away. Usagi is always a threat, even when it seems all is lost, and with high-profile matches against both Minerva and Methuselah in her locker, that experience can only serve to help her when she comes up against both Cross and Lexi, who let’s face it, are nowhere near the level of two of the biggest stars in EAW today. In recent weeks, Usagi has shown that she is now more ready than ever to stand alone and claim the solo success that thus far has eluded her. Winning the triple-threat at Pain for Pride would underline that and ensure that no one took her lightly next season.
(Mikaela flips her hair from in front of her face, and then again and it flops right back where it was before, Mikaela this time blowing it out the way.)
Mikaela Street: Jamie Cross however doesn’t seem to carry that same emotional baggage and is a young and vibrant star who obviously loves to perform. She is energetic, and constantly in her opponent’s face, and that tenacity could be the difference maker, and one that both Usagi and Lexi find difficult to overcome. Unquestionably, she is perhaps one of the most talented newcomers to the roster in many years, and that ability could be a difference maker if it comes down to pure wrestling ability. But there is one undeniable truth. That being that out of the three, it is her that doesn’t have the same experience and know how. And this being Pain for Pride, experience is ALL important, especially when your opponents know exactly what Pain for Pride is all about.
(There was no doubt that Jamie Cross had one heck of a career ahead of her, and Mikaela puts forth a good case. But she was a member of the Street family, wrestling ran through her veins, and she knew just how important experience was.)
Mikaela Street: And then finally, finally you have Lexi, who this year seems to have come into her own. There is no doubt that she has the talent to succeed, but that success has always eluded her. She is a spark in that ring, someone who can do the unexpected. Right now, she seems to be motivated like never, which makes her a very dangerous opponent for anyone that faces her. But will the fact that she is still so desperate for that one career defining win cost her when it comes to the crux of the matter. Or will that search finally come to an end at Pain for Pride? As I’m sure you will all agree, three individuals who all have a case, but only one of them will make good on their promises over the next few weeks. Only time will tell who that will be. But with so much on the line, one person is definitely going to get their Pain for Pride ‘moment. Who? We will see.
(Mikaela nods towards the camera, and with that the scene cuts away.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing in the ring ready to announce the next match.)
Gina Romano: This next contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones starts to play as Jon Kelton enters the arena to loud and resounding boos from the crowd. Following closely behind Jon is Londyn Zelaya as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Being accompanied down to the ring by Londyn Zelaya! Residing in Dallas, Texas. Weighing in at 210 pounds. Here is “THE CHOSEN ONE” JON KELTON!
Deadprez: Here comes Jon Kelton as he heads to the ring for singles action and he is no doubt gearing himself up for his triple threat match at Pain for Pride. He has wanted the National Elite Championship for a long time and he believes he can get it. Will the momentum start tonight?
(As Jon heads to the ring, the camera cuts to ringside where Jack Ripley is standing and watching Jon come down the ramp.)
Eve: This is going to be interesting. Jack Ripley is at ringside and he certainly hasn’t forgotten about the cheap shot Jon gave him last week that cost him that match with Xander Payne.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon and Jack will be in the ring together at Pain for Pride, but will Jack do the same thing and cost Jon a match against a very tough competitor, we’ll certainly find out.
(Kelton enters the ring and Londyn takes her place at ringside on the opposite side of the ring from Jack as his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, “Anti-Hero (Rock Version)” by Taylor Swift starts playing as Jamie Cross enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. She has a smile on her face as she heads to the ring.
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent and representing DYNASTY! From Chicago, Illinois. Weighing in at 109 pounds. Here is “THE IRONWOMAN” JAMIE CROSS!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the opposition and she is an up and coming star on Dynasty. She hasn’t been here very long, but Jamie is proving that she is a formidable foe in the ring.
Eve: She is certainly proving herself and she is coming into the biggest match of her EAW career to date as she goes into a triple threat match to become the Number One Contender to the Specialists Title.
Deadprez: The higher ups on Dynasty see a lot in Jamie to put into this big of a match so early on in her EAW career. But tonight she is dealing with a former champion. Will she get a huge victory tonight or will Kelton’s experience prove to be too much? We’re about to find out
(Jamie slides into the ring and takes her corner as her entrance music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before looking over to the timekeeper before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go with singles action. Both competitors go to lock up, BUT KELTON EASILY OVERPOWERS JAMIE! Jon with the go behind before he has a waistlock, PICKS JAMIE UP, AND SLAMS HER TO THE MAT!
Eve: With Jon Kelton double Jamie’s weight, she is going to need to rely on her speed and flying arsenal to keep up with the power and experience advantage that Kelton has. Kelton maneuvers himself over to Jamie’s head BEFORE FLIPPING FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: Nice bridging chinlock by Jon and this is exactly what he is going to do in order to keep the match in his favor and win the match. He is wrenching on Jamie’s neck for a moment before he flips back and lets the neck go.
Eve: Jon brings Jamie back to her feet and whips her to the ropes. She comes back as Kelton tries for a backbreaker, BUT JAMIE WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND JON’S NECK AND COUNTERS WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER! JON SENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!
Deadprez: Jon is pulling himself back to his feet in the corner AND HERE COMES JAMIE! JAMIE IS GOING FOR A MONKEY FLIP, BUT JON WALKS HER OUT OF THE CORNER AND FALLS BACK! JAMIE’S FACE GOES RIGHT INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
(The camera cuts to Jack, who is glaring at Jon as he has control of the match.)
Gavin Kirkland: Jack is reigning in his temper as Jon brings Jamie back to her feet before doubling her over AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SNAP SUPLEX! Jamie is down as Jon hits the ropes AND DROPS THE LEG ACROSS JAMIE’S THROAT!
Deadprez: Most people would go for a cover in that instance, but being the veteran Kelton is, he is electing to cause more damage to his opponent. Londyn is cheering and willing Jon Kelton on. Now Jon is deciding to leave his ground game and climb up to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Flying isn’t exactly Kelton’s forte, but he does have some moves that cause major damage and this might be one of those moves. This might be a quick match if Kelton hits this move—
Eve: JAMIE CROSS GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND RUNS HERSELF INTO THE ROPES AND THAT CAUSES KELTON TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND HE LANDS ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Londyn didn’t like that landing very much, but at least Kelton didn’t sprain any ankles up there. Kelton is feeling that landing AS JAMIE HITS A HANDSTAND INTO THE CORNER! JAMIE HAS HER LEGS AROUND JON’S NECK AND TAKES HIM OFF THE TURNBUCKLE WITH A HANDSTAND HEADSCISSORS TO THE MAT!!
Eve: Innovative offense by the young Jamie Cross as she hits the ropes to get some extra steam. Jamie comes back AND JAMIE LEAVES HER FEET FOR A LARIAT—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JON KELTON SPRINGS RIGHT BACK UP AND GRABS HER BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM! NICE COUNTER BY THE VETERAN!
Eve: Kelton lured her right in and she fell right into the trap. Inexperience shown right there as Kelton picks Jamie back up and applies a waistlock BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! INSTEAD OF RELEASING, KELTON BRIDGES UP AND WE HAVE A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: JAMIE ROLLS THROUGH AT TWO! Kelton is just getting started AS HE DROPS HIS KNEE RIGHT IN JAMIE’S SPINE! There is no doubt is trying to make a statement with Jack Ripley at ringside. Rubbing salt in the wounds, so to speak?
Gavin Kirkland: Jack shouldn’t let things get so personally. Being a man who just got announced as a member of the EAW Hall of Fame shouldn’t be such a big baby. But Kelton is firmly in control of this match as he picks Jamie back up and whips her to the ropes.
Deadprez: Jamie comes back and JON PICKS HER UP AND HE DRIVES JAMIE INTO THE MAT WITH THAT SPINEBUSTER! HE ALMOST DROVE HER RIGHT THROUGH THE MAT! Look at Jack Ripley just giving Kelton a very sarcastic round of applause as Jon walks over to the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon is letting him have it, but Jack is just looking up at him and glaring at him. Jack is looking for some sort of revenge, but we don’t know when or where it is coming, but believe me, it’s coming.
Eve: Jon is giving him the riot act and he kicks the ropes to tell Jack to get up and say it to his face. Jack grabs the middle rope and he looks like he is going to oblige, BUT HE LETS THE ROPE GO AND POINTS TOWARDS THE RING–
Deadprez: JON TURNS AROUND AND JAMIE CROSS HAS RECOVERED AND SHE CATCHES JON IN AN INSIDE CRADLE! JON IS ROLLED UP AND HIS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRR—
Eve: JON MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT TWO, BUT DANG! HE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT! Can you imagine if Jamie beat Jon right there? Kelton would go ballistic and Jack would not let him hear the end of it. Jamie is back up to her feet first—
Gavin Kirkland: Jon tried to get back up to his feet BUT JAMIE CLOBBERS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE NECK WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND KELTON FALLS TO HIS KNEES! Now Jamie is on Kelton’s back AND SHE IS FIRING THOSE FOREARM SMASHES IN THE NECK AND HIS SKULL!
Eve: BUT JON IS STILL TOO STRONG TO KEEP DOWN AS JON GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE GRABS JAMIE’S LEGS! Now Jamie is in the backpack position AND JON RUNS FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE CORNER AND SMASHES HER SPINE IN THE CORNER!
Deadprez: Jamie lets go and falls in the corner and Jon is delivering shoulder tackles to the midsection. Jon tried for one more, BUT JAMIE COUNTERS WITH A FOREARM AND SHE IS NOW CLIMBING THE ROPES–
Gavin Kirkland: JON GRABS HER AND HOW SHE IS ON HIS SHOULDER AS HE RUNS FULL SPEED OUT OF THE CORNER AND SHE IS DROPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH THAT RUNNING POWERSLAM! Jamie is down and Jon hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREE–
Deadprez: JAMIE CROSS KICKS OUT! WHAT STRENGTH BEING SHOWN BY THE UP AND COMING STAR! This has been an amazing match thus far. Jamie is still down as Jack Ripley is watching on very closely. Hold on! Look who’s coming down the ramp!
(The camera cuts to the entrance ramp, where Lexi is coming down to get a better view of the action. Following closely behind is Voltage’s Usagi Senshi!)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh look! It’s a party now. Here comes Lexi and Usagi Senshi down to ringside. They are keeping an eye on Jamie Cross since they make up the Specialists Contender Match at Pain for Pride. Naturally, they’d want a bird’s eye view of the action.
Eve: Take any chance you can to get some scouting time. While that was going down, Jon snapmared Jamie over and he is once again wrenching on her neck in the center of the ring.
Deadprez: The referee is asking Jamie if she wants to give it up, but we know this is more of a wear down move than anything else. Kelton’s attitude might suck nowadays, but he is a very methodical competitor in the ring.
Eve: Unfortunately for Jamie, it is that methodical wrestling that has neutralized Jamie’s high flying moves in this match. Jamie needs to think of something or this will be the beginning of the end for Jamie.
Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE IS STARTING TO FIGHT BACK! JAMIE IS FINDING THAT SECOND WIND THAT SHE NEEDS TO GET BACK INTO THIS MATCH! SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO MAKE IT BACK TO HER FEET!
Eve: Jon saw that and he grabs a handful of Jamie’s hair to bring her back down to the mat, BUT JAMIE SOMEHOW GETS FREE BY DOING A BACKFLIP AND GETTING BACK TO HER FEET! WHAT ATHLETICISM!
Deadprez: I don’t think Jon expected that either because look at his face! He was stunned by that move. Jon goes for a clothesline, BUT JAMIE DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! Jon turns around AND HE IS MET WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST BY JAMIE!
Gavin Kirkland: A SECOND CHOP SENDS JON BACK AND A THIRD AND FOURTH CHOP SEND JON LEANING ON THE ROPES! Jamie goes for an Irish Whip, but Jon counters and that sends Jamie for the ride.
Deadprez: Jamie comes back AND SHE JUMPS IN THE AIR AND TAKES JON DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA STYLE MOVE! Jon is down on the mat AND JAMIE IS JUST THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS ACROSS JON’S SKULL!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon manages to push Jamie off as he gets back to his feet. He turns around BUT JAMIE CATCHES HIM THE JAW WITH A POWERFUL RUNNING BACK ELBOW! JON FALLS BACK ON THE MAT AND HE HOLDS HIS JAW MAKING SURE IT ISN’T BROKEN OR TEETH AREN’T LOOSE!
Eve: Jon is back up to his feet AND JAMIE NOW HITS AN UPPERCUT IN THE FACE! JAMIE IS FIRING UP NOW! Jon is still on his feet as Jamie hits the ropes AND THIS TIME THE LARIAT CONNECTS AND TAKES JON DOWN TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: Jamie was trying to grab Jon, BUT JON ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR and Londyn is right there to comfort and check on Jon. Might be time for a little breather for Jon Kelton.
Eve: But Jamie’s not going to let that happen. Jamie gets on the apron AND DOES A SOMERSAULT BEFORE TAKING DOWN JON WITH A CANNONBALL OFF THE APRON! JON HITS THE FLOOR AND LONDYN GOT OUT OF THE WAY AND AVOIDED CONFLICT!
Gavin Kirkland: Smart thing for her because it would be a horrible crime to attack someone as beautiful as Londyn. Regardless, Jamie picks up Jon and BASHES HIS HEAD AGAINST THE RING APRON! AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! SHE WANTS TO GET THE POINT ACROSS THAT SHE SHOULDN’T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!
Eve: Not only that, but now with Usagi and Lexi at ringside, she is going to give them both a sample of exactly what they are in for at Pain for Pride. Now Jamie rolls Jon back into the ring as Jamie gets on the apron!
Deadprez: JON QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TAKES A SWING AT JAMIE, BUT SHE DUCKS IT! JON THEN TRIED TO SWEEP HER LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER BUT SHE JUMPS UP ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JON COMES BACK WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE AND THAT CATCHES JAMIE RIGHT IN THE FACE AND CRASHES ONTO THE APRON! NOW LOOK AT JACK! JACK RIPLEY IS GETTING CLOSER TO THE APRON!
Deadprez: But he isn’t doing anything. He is just standing there, but he is smiling at Jon Kelton. Jon is getting mad at Jack and his smug attitude. AND HE IS MOTIONING FOR JACK TO GET ON THE APRON! HE WANTS TO FIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: There’s that veteran instinct once again. If Jack strikes Jon, this match is over and Jamie loses by disqualification. That would be exactly what Jon would want and rub in the fact that Jack couldn’t keep his temper.
Eve: NOW JAMIE IS RIGHT BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE CATCHES JON IN THE GUT WITH THAT SHOULDER TACKLE AND JON IS DOUBLED OVER! Jamie once again jumps onto the second rope and gets in position as Jon was still on her feet–
Deadprez: JAMIE IMMEDIATELY LAUNCHES HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND GRABS JON’S NECK BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH THE TORNADO DDT! JON WAS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! BEAUTIFUL MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Listen to this crowd go crazy for Jamie Cross. She is on fire right now as she gets right back on the apron. Now she is motioning for Jon Kelton to get back to his feet in the hopes of finishing this match and getting a huge win.
Eve: She certainly could do that as Jon is slowly getting back to his feet. He is still feeling the effects of that Tornado DDT, but is getting back up.
Gavin Kirkland: He makes it back up AND JAMIE LAUNCHES HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE LIKE A TORPEDO AND CATCHES JON WITH THE SLINGSHOT SPEAR!! WHAT A MOVE BY JAMIE! KELTON IS DOWN AND JAMIE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
Eve: JON KELTON POWERS OUT AT TWO! HOLY WOW THAT WAS CLOSE! THIS HAS BEEN AN AMAZING MATCH BETWEEN VETERAN AND ROOKIE!!
Deadprez: But that isn’t stopping Jamie! She quickly gets back to her feet and drags Jon right to the middle of the ring AND GRABS HIS ANKLE FOR AN ANKLE LOCK!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT ANKLE LOCK IS CALLED THE HTO AND SHE HAS IT APPLIED! IF JON TAPS, THIS MATCH IS OVER!!
Deadprez: JON HAS A GRIMACE OF PAIN ON HIS FACE AS HE TRIES TO DRAG HIMSELF TO THE BOTTOM ROPE, BUT JAMIE NOW PUTS A HORRIBLE TORQUE ON HIS ANKLE–
Gavin Kirkland: JON WRAPS HIS OTHER LEG AROUND JAMIE AND TRIES TO TAKE HER OVER FOR A ROLLUP, BUT JAMIE COUNTERS BY JUST SITTING DOWN ON JON! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Eve: KELTON REVERSES! KELTON ROLLS BACK AND COUNTERS THE ROLL UP AND NOW JAMIE’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: KELTON GRABS THE TIGHTS! KELTON HAS THE TIGHTS FOR LEVERAGE AND THE REFEREE DOESN’T SEE IT! KELTON IS GONNA TRY AND STEAL IT HERE!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Eve: JAMIE GETS HER SHOULDER BARELY OFF THE MAT! OHH THAT ROLLUP ALMOST BACKFIRED AND COST JAMIE THE MATCH, BUT JAMIE KICKED OUT AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
Deadprez: Jon is back to his feet first and Jamie quickly follows, BUT JON KICKS JAMIE IN THE GUT AND DOUBLES HER OVER! JON GRABS JAMIE’S HEAD AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR!
Gavin Kirkland: JON WAS LOOKING FOR THE SITOUT BRAINBUSTER, BUT JAMIE GETS FREE AND LANDS BEHIND JON AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED NECKBREAKER!
Eve: Jon is still on his feet and Jamie quickly follows up the neckbreaker WITH A BEAUTIFUL STEP UP ENZUIGIRI THAT STAGGERS JON KELTON! Now Jamie grabs Keltong and tries to whip him to the ropes–
Gavin Kirkland: Jon reverses the Irish Whip and sends Jamie to the ropes. Jamie hits the ropes AND LEXI GRABS JAMIE’S ANKLE AND TRIPS HER UP! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? LONDYN HAD THE REFEREE DISTRACT FOR SOME REASON!
Eve: WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS LEXI THINKING? LEXI HAS BEEN KNOWN TO PLAY MIND GAMES, BUT OF COURSE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND LEXI IS APOLOGIZING TO JAMIE CROSS, WHO BRUSHES HER OFF TO FINISH THE MATCH! JAMIE TURNS AROUND-
Deadprez: AND SHE IS MET WITH FINAL ATONEMENT BY JON KELTON! WHAT A SPEAR BY KELTON AND JAMIE WAS SPLIT RIGHT IN HALF! SHE IS DOWN AND SHE IS OUT AS KELTON GOES RIGHT INTO THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Paint it Black” starts playing again as Jon Kelton rolls off of Jamie and starts to make it back to his feet as Gina Romano announces the final decision.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner! JON KELTON!
(Jon makes it back to his feet as the referee raises his arm in victory before he quickly snatches it away.)
Deadprez: That was a great match and it was just an unfortunate set of events that ended up costing Jamie the match and giving Jon the win. The experience edge and being able to capitalize on the moment to turn the match in his favor.
Eve: You got to give Jamie a lot of credit. She gave as good as she got. She almost won the match on a few occasions, but it wasn’t meant to be. Jamie shouldn’t feel bad. She has a great future here in EAW.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh she certainly does. She will get her moment but tonight belongs to Jon Kelton and we offer our congratulations to Jon Kel….
(Before Gavin could finish the sentence, Jack Ripley grabs Londyn Zelaya, who was cheering for Jon and throws her right into the ring steps!)
Deadprez: WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT? JACK JUST GRABBED LONDYN AND THREW HER RIGHT INTO THE RING STEPS! THE BACK OF HER HEAD HIT HARD AND SHE IS NOT MOVING! HOW DESPICABLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Jack no doubt wanted revenge for what happened last week and got a little by taking out Londyn. Jon saw that happen and he slid right out of the ring AND SLUGS JACK RIGHT IN THE FACE AND THEY ARE BRAWLING!
Eve: THEY ARE REALLY TAKING IT TO EACH OTHER! THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON LONDYN TO SEE IF SHE IS ALRIGHT WHILE JON AND JACK ARE BRAWLING RIGHT UP THE RAMP AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE HEADING RIGHT TO THE BACK!
Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND! USAGI AND LEXI WERE WATCHING THE BRAWL AND JAMIE CROSS MADE IT BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE TAKES DOWN LEXI WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Eve: Now we have Lexi and Jamie brawling on the outside and Usagi Senshi is just watching it all unfold. Which is completely fine with her.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right. Let the opposition beat the crap out of each other and make the path to victory easier for her. Nothing wrong with that. I mean already sees herself as the favorite in that match so why not?
(After they have been brawling for a few moments, they stop and look up at Usagi, who is not joining in on the fight. They roll off of each other and get back to their feet.)
Deadprez: Uh oh. Lexi and Jamie are circling Usagi and things aren’t looking good for Usagi–
Eve: USAGI WITH A RIGHT HAND TO JAMIE CROSS, BUT LEXI IS RIGHT THERE CLOBBERING HER BACK AND NOW JAMIE AND LEXI ARE JUST DOING A NUMBER ON USAGI!
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI IS DOWN ON THE FLOOR WHILE LEXI AND JAMIE CONTINUE TO BEAT HER DOWN! Such jealousy with these two.
Eve: Will you stop? But as you can see Usagi was trying to fight back but now the fight is slowing and I think that Usagi might be out cold. Could this be the scene at Pain for Pride?
Deadprez: Well there you have it. The enemy of the enemy is my friend as Lexi and Jamie align long enough to beat down Usagi Senshi. Who knows what will happen next heading to Pain for Pride? I can’t wait to see.
(The final shot shows Jamie and Lexi looking at each other before they look down at a still not moving Usagi Senshi on the floor before looking back at each other as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera fades into a video package playing on the Titan Tron itself. It once again returns to darkness, before eventually, it fades back in, as we see none other than Kyra Phillips. Sitting in a room, with numerous photos hung up on the wall of Showdown two Cash in the Vault competitors, Kyra Phillips begins to address the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Hello EAW Fans here on Super Showdown: A-DAY live and with Pain for Pride right around the corner, one of the key matchups as it is on every Pain For Pride is the Cash In The Vault. A match that has not only made careers, but the winner is guaranteed a World Championship cash in any time and anywhere they want. It is a right of passage for so many superstars and usually the launching pad for one of them to get World Championship Gold around their waist, a match that has seen some of the absolute greats enter and come out better than what they were going in. Elitists in recent memory like Myles, Darcy May Morgan, Raven Roberts, and most recently Jake Smith have all gone on to have their moments and become World Champions. Elevating themselves and their stock higher and higher, faster than they had gone without the Cash In the Vault briefcase. This is the chance for dreams to come true and a springboard to the very top of their respective brands. In 2023 six competitors, two from Dynasty, two from Voltage and the two representatives from Showdown none other than the former longest reigning National Elite Champion in Donovan Duke and Alex Myers, an Elitist that many claim is their time.
(The camera shifts to pictures of Donovan Duke and Alex Myers, showing them next to the pics of Joso and Ruler from Dynasty and then Sheridan Muller and Miku Sakai from Voltage. The board then shows clips from other Cash In The Vault Matches from the past with the various winners holding the briefcase. The footage though changes back to Alex Myers and Donovan Duke who are two favorites and future World Champions ready to take that next step in their development and career.)
Kyra Phillips: Donovan Duke and Alex Myers are not wildcards, they are not underdogs, these are two Elitists that have every chance of winning this match much like the other four. Six competitors that for the very first time are looked up as no favorites, one of the most even fields in the history of this match. Now more than ever, we are seeing what this can do for all six of these Elitists, give a World title for the first time to Joso or Ruler. Bring back prominence to one, Sheridan Muller and place her back in the echelon of World Championship Gold. Give someone like Miku Sakai the chance to shine and prove she is not a one hit wonder, but then there are two who have proven time and time again that they can indeed wrestle and defeat the very best. Donovan’s National Elite title run alone puts him at another level, but his guile and grit definitely helps his cause. Alex Myers on the other hand, is a risk taker, an Elitist who throws caution to the wind and is a perfect fit for the Cash In The Vault Ladder Match.
(Footage begins to play of Alex Myers doing death defying stunts and moves in the ring, then it transfers to Donovan Duke using his wrestling skills especially his technical ability inside the ring. Both Elitists are shown in their respective way in some key matches this season so far like Donovan Duke taking on Kassidy Heart and Alex Myers facing Jack Ripley.)
Kyra Phillips: Donovan Duke has the will; he has the technical ability to succeed and has beaten some of the absolute best in this business. Donovan Duke was a fighting champion from the very beginning about cashing in his 24/7 Contract on Minerva while she was wrestling Jake Smith at King of Elite 2022. Since then, Donovan Duke has been almost unstoppable, and his season so far has been one of his best with huge wins against Methuselah, Kassidy Heart and unforgettable appearances in the Elimination Chamber and Territorial Invasion. Donovan Duke is certainly an asset in this Cash In The Vault match, one of the smartest wrestlers to ever grace the ring and his keen sense is above the rest, for this will can play a huge part in his chances to win the Cash in the Vault.
(The footage again plays of Donovan Duke and his wrestling ability, the opportunities he has taken to succeed this past season once again, but then transitions to Alex Myers who has shown to take every risk known to any wrestling fan and has their no fear attitude to go with it. Alex Myers is an individual that many expect to wear singles gold once again.)
Kyra Phillips: Finally, we have Alex Myers, the daredevil of the Showdown brand that has shown they can wrestle against anyone, any size and have shown time and time again just how good they are. Alex has come so close to Championship gold, and many may even say that has become a detriment, but truth be told, what they have done is use those failures as a reminder of what they need to do in order to succeed and if any environment was created for Alex’s style is it the Cash In the Vault Ladder Match. This fits them like a glove, and everyone knows that he will be the one Elitist who will use all the elements of this match as a benefit. The question now is, will they finally be able to get over that hump? If I am a betting woman, yes. Can Alex Myers and Donovan Duke set themselves up for a World title in Season 17? I think so.
(The camera slowly starts to fade from Kyra Phillips showing the chart and all Cash In the Vault competitors concentrating on two, Alex Myers and Donovan Duke before it switches to Gina Romano in the ring ready to call the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE and is scheduled FOR!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
( ‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki play over the sound system of the arena as The Future makes his way to the ring with a smirk that would make anyone want to punch it off his face. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Scarsdale, New York! Weighing in at 260 pounds: DRAAAAAAAAAAAAKE ARMMMMMMSTROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Here comes a man on a mission to do what’s best for Showdown and by that I mean our General Manager Kennedy Street! Standing up for her when Ms Extreme was trying to get at our GM last week on Showdown he has an opportunity to make her pay dearly this week.
Gavin Kirkland: He has an opportunity to show her that she went out of line and he can be the one to force her back in line! She needs to learn a lesson in knowing her place and Drake will deliver it to her!
( ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX then plays over the sound system and is almost muted by the cheers of the crowd as Camille steps through the curtain and makes her way to the ring with a sadistic smile on her face. )
Gina Romano: AAAAAAND HIS OPPONENT!! From Calabasas, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds! She is MS… EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: A spectacular effort against Pandora Paisley during Fighting Spirit earned her a match against Kennedy Street in a few weeks’ time at Pain for Pride in Nashville! But tonight she will have to deal with a man who’s been gaining Street’s trust more and more!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake showed us he can be a team player even and tonight will be a great opportunity for him to not only further his career but to score big points in the eyes of our flawless General Manager!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! THIS FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!! Right away Camille dashes forward looking to get her hands on Drake who slips out of the ring and stares back at his opponent. The crowd boos at this maneuver from him while the official tries to keep Ms. Extreme inside the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Armstrong invites Camille to join him outside the ring with a smirk on his lips and the invitation is accepted! Ms Extreme to the outside but Drake rushes back in from another corner of the ring! Camille follows AND GETS CLOBBERED BY DRAKE! She should’ve seen this coming!
Eve: Early advantage for Armstrong who throws punches against and elbows to the back of Camille who is getting to her feet and begins to strike back BUT Drake again slips under the ropes and outside the ring!
Deadprez: Camille doesn’t appear to want to play games with Armstrong and she rushes outside of the ring and gives chase! Drake goes from one side of the ring to the other before hopping over the barricade and into the crowd! Camille goes as well BUT GETS CLOCKED BY ARMSTRONG AS SHE WAS LEAPING AND FALLS BACK WITHIN THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Gavin Kirkland: YEAH! That’s it Drake teaches her not to mess with the Boss! This is your moment kid! Score some points for Kennedy Street! There he gets back to ringside with a smirk as he throws a few punches that connect! That guy may very well BE the future if he keeps doing this!
Eve: Those punches connect straight to the cheek and jaw of Camille as Armstrong then picks Camille up and whips her inside the ring. He then proceeds to taunt the crowd a little bit and they respond in loud jeers which he rejects before going inside the ring AND GETS AN ATOMIC DROP FROM CAMILLE WHEN WHEN HE GOES IN!! The look on his face is priceless!
Deadprez: He’ll remember this one for sure as Camille scoops him up and slams him down before dropping to her knees and throwing a series of fury-fueled punches down to her opponent! The crowd loves it as she screams angrily while doing it! But the cheers turn into boos as the official tries to pry her away which allows Drake to… Again… Escape to the outside!
Gavin Kirkland: What is so wrong with wanting to recover when facing a bat shoot crazy like Ms. Extreme?? The man is playing his cards right! If things don’t go your way, you make space and you work on a new plan and that is what he is doing!
Eve: Camille shrugs and goes after Drake once again THIS TIME he drives a knee to the gut of Camille stopping her dead in her tracks before punching her a few times. He goes for a whip aiming at the steel steps BUT MS EXTREME REVERSES AND ARMSTRONG’S SHOULDER COLLIDES WITH THE STEPS!!
Deadprez: Camille doesn’t look like she wants to mess around as she sends Drake inside the ring and follows him close by. Straight punches to the face of Armstrong as he goes to a corner leaning against it and Camille quickly goes on the second rope and begins to unload a series of closed-fist punches!!!
Crowd: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! FOUR!!!! FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!! SEVEN!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!!!!! NINE!!!!!!!!! TEN!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: The official asks for Camille to step away and she does but she looks like a savage! Yelling at Drake to come at her and he does he’s stumbling however SHE’S GOING FOR A SAMOAN DROP BUT DRAKE SLIPS AWAY AND GOES ONCE MORE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! He is making his way towards us at the announce table and tries to make his way past the security railing near us and Camille is heading our way also!
Gavin Kirkland: Camille isn’t going to give Drake a chance to make it to the other side as she reaches to him AND HEADBUTTS THE MAN! It seems to make her feel a wee bit but Armstrong took the brunt of that hit as he is now back within ringside and almost seated on the floor against the guard rail. Ms. Extreme keeps on the pressure, throwing an uppercut to the jaw of her opponent who tries to make way with her as he tries to recover and gets punched again! Camille is like a hunting dog not letting go of her target and she has that look of intensity in her eyes…That scares me!
Eve: Extreme back inside the ring right after the self-proclaimed Future of EAW and she picks him AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP!! SHE GOES FOR HER COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND DRAKE KICKS OUT AT TWO!!
Deadprez: Camille sent a message to her opponent early on! Could she be sending a message to her Pain for Pride opponent as well?
Deadprez: Camille is now in control of the match as she grabs a tight hold of Drake, maneuvered his head by pulling at his short hard AND SHE GOES FOR THE GORY SPECIAL!!! THE GORY SPECIAL IS APPLIED AND DOWN GOES ARMSTRONG!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms Extreme riles up the crowd who wants to see more as she picks up Drake, moving him into the ropes SHE CHOPS HIM ON THE CHEST WITH FORCE!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DOES IT AGAIN!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND A THIRD TIME!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t want to be in his shoes right now! Those chops look like they could chop the air out of my lungs! Drake is coughing. It looks like Camille’s chops drew the air out of him and the redhead watches on and she looks to be smiling! How Cruel!!! Drake is only doing what’s best for Kennedy Street!!
Eve: Well it doesn’t pay off all that well for him right now, does it? Drake is slow to get to his feet and Camille is prowling waiting for the man to be up and she charges his way ONLY TO BE SURPRISED WITH BY THE BOOT STRAPS!! THE JUMPING SHINBREAKER GOT CAMILLE AND DOWN SHE GOES!! ARMSTRONG WITH THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: AND CAMILLE LIFTS THE SHOULDER UP!! Drake took advantage of a tactical mistake and just capitalized on it! Now he needs to do more in order to leave this match the winner.
Deadprez: Drake gets back to his feet and stares down at Camille and foul mouths her a bit as she gets up AND SHE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A TWO LEGGED TAKEDOWN AND STARTS THROWING HARSH FISTS OF FURY DOWN ON HIM!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She forces him to his feet BUT GOES RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A JAWBREAKER USING HER HEAD! It makes her reel a wee bit but she grunts and stares down at her opponent before heading on the apron to the outside of the ring. What will she be doing?
Eve: She waits for Drake to get to his feet AND THEN SPRINGBOARDS HERSELF OVER THE ROPES INTO A DRAGONRANA!!! WHAT A MOVE BY CAMILLE who then quickly gets off of Armstrong! Why? She should’ve gone for a pinfall but she’s going to the nearest corner. What will she do?
Deadprez: SHOOTING STAR SENTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!! SHE LANDS SQUARE ON DRAKE AND NOW SHE HOOKS A LEG UP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND ARMSTRONG KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!! Strong offense by Camille but Drake doesn’t feel like giving her the win apparently! Not yet!
Gavin Kirkland: He is putting his money where his mouth is tonight but he will need to do more if he wants to leave the show with a victory as Camille gets off of him and moves so she could force him to his back AND GOES FOR A SNAP SUPLEX! She doesn’t let go AND GOES FOR A GERMAN!! She STILL doesn’t let go of him as she gets him vertical AND THROWS HIM AGAINST A CORNER WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX!!!
Eve: Armstrong is in trouble now as he does the wise thing and rolls outside of the ring but he will need to do something more than that if he wants to get some offense going as Ms Extreme is hot on his tail!
Deadpreaz: Camille whips him hard against a guardrail BEFORE HOISTING HIM INTO AN ATOMIC DROP POSITION BUT DROPS HIM ON TOP OF THE RAILING!!! The face that Drake does says it all folks AND SHE THEN CLOTHESLINES HIM IN THE CROWD SIDE OF THE RAILING!!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake is looking to leave this match at this point but Camille reaches to him and clubs him in the back with a double ax handle making him stumble forward as they go through the crowd! Camille looks at a fan and takes a beer AND SHE POURS IT ALL OVER DRAKE!!
Eve: A little insult to injury here by Camille as she punches him through the crowd now remember folks this falls count anywhere so anything can happen!
Deadprez: AND A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX IS WHAT HAPPENS AND DRAKE IS DROPPED SQUARE ON HIS BACK ON THE COLD ARENA CONCRETE!!! Uh oh, there she goes taking a chair that a fan is offering her!!
Gavin Kirkland: BARBARIANS! Savages offer Camille a weapon, what’s wrong with these people!!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A CHAIRSHOT FROM CAMILLE!! DRAKE DROPS TO HIS KNEES!!!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GAWD!! ONE RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! CAMILLE IS BRUTALIZING THIS POOR MAN WHO JUST WANTS WHAT’S BEST FOR BUSINESS!!!
Eve: Camille is showing the Rich that the middle class are hard workers and won’t stand for shit thrown by the 1%! She’s setting him up for a sunset flip powerbomb AND EXECUTES IT FLAWLESSLY!!!
Deadprez: She goes for a cover!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Somehow… Somewhat… DRAKE MANAGED TO LIFT A SHOULDER UP!!!!! Camille looks surprised and the crowd is in a bit of a shock!
Ms. Extreme: Okay big boy, you still want to go? Okay, alright! Suit yourself!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, what is she going to try and do now that sicko!! Didn’t she do enough damage against Pandora Paisley??
Eve: Well, folks! We have to go on a commercial break now! Don’t go anywhere! This match its conclusion will happen right after these messages!!

Deadprez: And we are back folks! We thank you for making Saturday Night Showdown your evening’s entertainment, if you just joined us we are in the middle of a falls count anywhere match between Drake Armstrong and Ms Extreme!
Gavin Kirkland: During the commercial break, Drake managed to gain control of the match and brought the action back to ringside, and now Armstrong has the opportunity to deliver a message to Camille the likes she won’t soon forget!
Eve: The two of them are now back at ringside as Drake grabs a hold of Camille’s red hair AND SENDS HER CRASHING AGAINST THE BARRICADE SURROUNDING THE RING!! BACK FIRST INTO IT AND HE QUICKLY YEETS HER RIBS FIRST AGAINST THE APRON!
Deadprez: Drake has an opportunity to put some serious hurt on his opponent tonight and he-Oh no… He went to grab the top of the steel steps as Camille is moving to her feet. He charges at her AND RAMS MS EXTREME WITH IT!! DOWN GOES THE YOUNGEST OF THE AVA SISTERS And she is more than likely hurt!!
Gavin Kirkland: Yes! Serves her well to go against the designs of Kennedy Street our benevolent General Manager! She must be smiling right now seeing the actions of Drake! I know I would be if I was her.
Eve: Drake brags a little bit and the fans are booing him loudly before he makes his way to the timekeeper’s table and grabs the bell from the table and makes his way to Camille! My god is he going to clock her with it??
Deadprez: He swings at her BUT SHE DROVE A KNEE TO HIS MIDSECTION! STUNNING HIM! She starts to throw strikes at him, looking to mount a comeback BUT SHE GETS SMACKED BY THE BELL REGARDLESS BY DRAKE AND MS EXTREME GOES TO HER KNEES!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SERVES HER RIGHT!!! And Drake doesn’t appear to be over, that look on his face it tells us something! He wants to hurt Camille not just defeat her AND HE GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! Beautiful! Poetry in motion right here but I don’t expect anyone in this city to see that those plebians!
Eve: Drake looks rather pleased with the work he is inflicting on Camille as he helps her to her feet and WOAH HE JUST BIEL THROW HER RIGHT INFRONT OF US BEFORE OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!!
Deadprez: He is, in fact, 120 pounds heavier than Camille which allows him to pull such a thing! It’s not every day that you see Ms Extreme get tossed that way AND DRAKE NOW HAS HER BY THE NECK RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!! LOOK OUT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: A CHOKESLAM ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!! IT’S A MIRACLE THE THING STILL STANDS AND CAMILLE IS SPRAWLED ALL OVER IT!! Great Job Drake! Keep it up! Make Her Pay!
Eve: Drake seems to have heard you as he grabs Camille by the hair and sends her rolling inside the ring. Following her he stalks the downed opponent with a smile that gives me the creeps! He forces her to her feet, Irish whip into the ropes FOLLOWED BY A SPINE BUSTER!!!! COVER BY DRAKE!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Ms Extreme survives by kicking out of the pinning predicament!
Deadprez: This move looks to have taken the wind out of Camille as suddenly her opponent is on top of her and throws punches after punches under the jeers of the capacity crowd here at Auburn Arena!
Gavin Kirkland: Camille now sitting up and Drake goes for a shoulder claw to inflict more pain! He has moved in tight and he’s digging hard into her shoulder which gets her to groan and wince. The official checks up on her and she nods she will be fine.
Eve: Camille throws an elbow behind her trying to get Drake off of her, he evades the first strike but the second hits! And another! Then a third! Armstrong is about to lose his grip on Camille’s shoulder as she gets to her feet BUT HE BRINGS HER DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER!!!!!
Deadprez: He holds his stomach a little bit, but he is seen smirking and tapping the side of his head telling us he is smart and had this planned already!
Gavin Kirkland: She should give up while she has the chance but she’s too dumb, too prideful to do the right thing and she’s going to suffer for it! Drake with a series of elbows and a few closed-fist punches before he forces Camille to her feet and whips her into the ropes AND STOMPS HER DOWN WITH A BIG BOOT!!! COVER BY ARMSTRONG!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Damn it she kicked out again!!!
Eve: He doesn’t waste any time to go and apply pressure and pain on Camille through some small joint manipulation with a focus on the fingers! Camille is wincing she doesn’t look to be enjoying that one bit as Drake transitions to a hammerlock with wrenching of the arm’s internal rotating muscles! Quite some technical moves there from Armstrong!
Deadprez: Camille is trying to force her way up AND SHE MANAGES TO ARM DRAG HERSELF OUT OF THAT SITUATION AND ROLLS AWAY!! CLOTHESLINE BY MS EXTREME QUICKLY TAKES DRAKE DOWN AND THE TWO OF THEM ARE SUDDENLY ERUPTING IN A BRAWL!!
Gavin Kirkland: Both of them punch each other on the floor before rolling outside of the ring! Camille with the upper hand attacks Armstrong as both begin to make their way up the ramp to the stage leading to the back! Both competitors are brawling it out dangerously close to the edge of the stage folks! Drake with a right hand to the face of Camille strikes back with one of her squares on the bottom!
Crowd: YEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!! YEAAAAAAAAHHH!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Deadprez: LOOK!! OUT FROM THE BACK JUST CAME KENNEDY STREET!!! What is she doing out here she should be man-OH MY GOD!!!! OH MY GOD, SHE JUST SHOVED BOTH CAMILLE AND DRAKE OFF THE STAGE!!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: BOTH OF THEM CRASHED THROUGH SOME TABLES BELOW!! WHAT THE HELL HAS KENNEDY STREET JUST DONE?????
Gavin Kirkland: She’s taking matters into her own hands and sacrificing Drake in profit of the bigger picture!! I freaking love it!!!!
Eve: She quickly turns to the official telling him to… WAIT SHE’S FORCING HIS REFEREE SHIRT RIGHT OFF THE MAN AND ORDERS HIM TO… No Way… SHE JUST TOLD HIM TO GO DRAG DRAKE’S BODY OVER CAMILLE!!!!!
Deadprez: SHE’S PUTTING ON THE REFEREE’S SHIRT!!! BARKING AT THE OFFICIAL TO DO AS HE’S TOLD!! DAMN, IT IS DRAKE ABOUT TO WIN THE MATCH THIS WAY!!!
Kennedy Street: OneTwoThree!! RING THE BELL!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: QUICK COUNT!!!!
Deadprez: NOT LIKE THIS!!!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
Gavin Kirkland: YES!!!!!
( ‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki play over the sound system of the arena as the official, now shirtless, tries to raise the lead arm of a knocked-out Drake Armstrong to signal his victory. )
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout: DRAAAAAAAAAAKE AAAAARMSTROOOOOOOOONG!!!!
Deadprez: DAMN IT THIS ISN’T HOW THIS MATCH SHOULD’VE ENDED!!!! CAMILLE GOT SCREWED ONCE AGAIN BY THE GENERAL MANAGER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: No she didn’t, she got outfoxed! Kennedy clearly shows she will do whatever it takes in order to get the upper hand on that pesky redhead! But let’s give some credit to her boy Drake though, the man delivered a solid performance he deserved the win! Kennedy was benevolent enough to gift it to him and killed two birds with one stone! Giving him the win AND hurting Camille at the same time!
Eve: Did she really have to shove BOTH of them off the stage though? That sounds callous considering how loyal Drake has been to her. And let’s not take anything off Camille who came out here to fight and she delivered one tonight! She did great but Kennedy Street’s actions took things in a different direction.
( The final shot is of Kennedy Street laughing and looking proud of herself as some EMT’s are tending to both Camille and Drake through the wrecked tables below. )
( We transition into a pre-taped segment as this edition of Saturday Night Showdown rolls on forward. Greeting the cameras is Mikaela Street, she’s joined by none other than the ten-time World Champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling, Impact! We’ve seen Impact pick up some impressive victories in recent weeks, bouncing back from his loss at Grand Rampage against Adam Lucas. His issues with Dominion have been well-established since then. Impact doesn’t necessarily look thrilled to be here — for good reason. In past seasons, his path to Pain for Pride has usually been obvious. This season has been an anomaly for Impact in the sense that we’re less than a month out from the biggest event in the sport; we don’t know what one of the promotion’s biggest-ever names will be getting up to in Nashville, Tennessee. )
Mikaela Street: Ladies and gentlemen thank you for joining me as Elite Answers Wrestling crawls closer-and-closer to the golden showcase, Pain for Pride. I’m sitting here with a man that, I have to say, was quite tricky to get a hold of! But I’m delighted to be sitting down with him, as he knows quite a bit about Pain for Pride given that many of his well-known championship reigns have either started, ended or ran through the event entirely! Impact, thank you so much for giving us your time, we have a lot that we need to discuss so let’s dive on into it.
( Impact doesn’t quite share Mikaela’s enthusiasm for this sitdown exclusive. He takes his time to respond to that opening, slicing Street in two with a dismissive response. )
Impact: If I wanted to be interviewed by a fan, Mikaela, I’d sign-up for Make-A-Wish. Let’s compose ourselves, show some professionalism and get through this, alright?
Mikaela Street: I’d like to begin by speaking about your season so far. Obviously you’re one of the biggest stars in the business right now and the trials-and-tribulations you’ve experienced over the last twelve months aren’t anything new given your extensive history in this promotion. In your own words, if you could, would you say that you consider season sixteen a success?
Impact: Yes, undoubtedly. While I’ve had better seasons, the last twelve months have been fruitful for me. I held the Answers World Championship from July to December and the wrestling deities had to stack the deck against me to topple me from my throne. I beat some of the best Showdown had to offer while continuing to be the undisputed attraction of professional wrestling. I’m a person who likes facts. Take a look at my FPV record. Take a look at how often I’m pinning these so-called “next generation” talents. To say I’m “losing steam” or to say this season hasn’t been a success for me would be moronic. I’ve set the bar so high for myself, that even another wrestler’s best season is just routine for me. I’m my own worst enemy.
Impact: I wasn’t happy with how I lost the Answers World Championship. I believe that blockades were put in my way and bias was thrown into the mix in relation to my pursuit to try and wrangle back a title that, in my honest opinion, I didn’t lose fairly or decisively. Jake Smith has done a good job at retaining it since that point, but being truthful, I look at who he’s had to face in comparison to some of the championship reigns I’ve had — I have to scoff. I get it. Trying to make a profit off a kid who looks like he does, with the relationship he has. It’s easy to root for Jake Smith, no denying that. He’s the fan’s own. Is he World Championship material? Do his talents stack up to mine? No, I don’t think so, Mikaela.
Impact: But even in spite of that I’m proud of the season I’ve had. Because I continue pushing myself and re-inventing the game. When tabloids begin to question, when people start to speak I showcase why I’m generational. Why I’m here when everybody else from my generation are either retired, part-time talents or dead. Because nobody has done it like me. Because nobody has done the things that I have done. While I haven’t held a championship for six-or-so months now that’s alright. Because I’m still winning week-in and week-out, and I know winning that eleventh World Championship is an inevitability, not a question of if.
Mikaela Street: Let’s cast our minds back to Grand Rampage, where—
( Having spoken of his loss to Adam Lucas an abundance of times since it occurred, we see frustration build on the former Answers World Champion’s facial features. He leans forward and opts to cut Mikaela off, both gesturing for her to stop the question and verbally voicing his unwillingness to speak on a matter he’s addressed on countless occasions. )
Impact: Maybe I’m going a little stir-crazy here. But I feel like whenever I sit down with someone, or I’m passing a member of management in the halls, all they ever want to talk about is how I lost to Adam Lucas at Grand Rampage. Look, I don’t need the reminder, and I assure you that these people here tonight have heard it all before. Because I spoke about it last week, the week before that and the week before that. A blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. A broken grandfather clock chimes twice a day. Sometimes in this sport, underdogs win. They break through the perception of others and achieve great, great things. Credit to Adam for doing that.
Impact: But it’s also luck. He was fortunate at Grand Rampage, hitting a one-in-a-million shot and making the improbable, probable. I said sometimes the underdogs win, that still rings true. But that doesn’t mean their wins are legitimate. I’ve exemplified countless times throughout my career, a fair few times against Adam himself, that the majority of the time when I step into the ring I don’t just win — I dominate. So much so that I’m held to such a higher standard compared to the champions and record breakers of this generation.
( Impact leans forward, clasping his hands together while addressing the camera. )
Impact: Jake Smith and Adam Lucas are going to break records at Pain for Pride. They’re the pet projects of this new era in Elite Answers Wrestling. The posterchildren. But what’s important to remember is they’re in this position due to my own negligence, and the ways that be are holding my head underneath the water just long enough for them to escape me. We know what happens when Impact competes for championships at Pain for Pride. We know it’s an inevitability. Jake and Adam now, will try to dissuade you of that. They’ll point to flukes and meaningless, indecisive small victories over me and try to exaggerate them, fool you into believing that they’re my superiors. But it isn’t the case and someday soon, I’ll prove that. I’ll show that Impact is forever and that men like Adam and Jake, they come-and-go. If I were in that triple threat match, I’d outwork them on the microphone and then embarrass them in the ring before Nashville. Both men should consider themselves fortunate and thank their lucky stars that for one reason or another, I’m not where I rightfully /should/ be at Pain for Pride.
Mikaela Street: Let’s discuss what’s happened since that moment then. Undefeated, victories over talented names such as Ryan Joseph Wilson for example. You’re in the form of a champion but it seems you don’t have the faintest clue where your road leads to Pain for Pride, and management have been tight-lipped regarding the match you’ll be having at the event — that is even if you’ll be featured. Does that concern you? Do you know something we don’t?
Impact: No road? Mikaela, I didn’t take you to be so ignorant. As far as I’m concerned, my road couldn’t be any more clearer, are you really sure about what you’re saying?
( Mikaela, fairly frustrated with Impact’s constant condescending attitude, responds although it’s clear she’s biting her tongue in relation to the interviewee’s remarks. )
Mikaela Street: Would you care to divulge on what you’ve got planned?
Impact: I’ll say this, people are sleeping on me. They assume I’m the one without a road and assume I’ll be left in the cold. But this isn’t the case. I’m Mr. Pain for Pride, I’ve been there since the beginning and I’ll be there long, long after I retire. My road is clear, my road is obvious but the burden doesn’t fall on me if other people can’t see that and instead opt to write me off.
Impact: I have a road for Pain for Pride, a big, big match that’ll catapult Impact back into the forefronts of people’s minds. If only these people, blinded by their narrow-mindedness, could reach out and snatch it. Have a second away from their assumptions to see how foolish they are for doubting me and doubting what I’ll bring to Nashville when the time comes.
Impact: They won’t have to hear long to understand, neither will you Mikaela. Because things are being put into motion and when the time comes, it’ll be obvious. You, and everybody watching will feel foolish for underestimating me and this promotion, believing for even a second there was a chance I’d be left off the biggest show that wrestling has ever known. Now, to be frank, this has been quite a waste of my time. I figured you ran against the grain. I thought you’d have some interesting questions for me, but no. I have better things to be doing.
( Impact stands up, removing the microphone that was fastened into his outfit. Soon after he vacated the room leaving an offended Mikaela Street shocked. The scene fades out and we transition back to the here-and-now, the commentary team discussing the things Impact said in his interview with some speculation raining down on who he might be facing. From here the show continues to roll forward and we transition to our next segment of the night. But what’s clear is Impact knows more than he’s letting on and he’s confident of making a, excuse the pun, big impact in Nashville, Tennessee in just three weeks from now! )
( Saturday Night Showdown returns from a quick commercial break as we see Gian Romano standing in the middle of the ring, preparing herself to announce the upcoming match. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A CASH IN THE VAULT PREVIEW MATCH!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR!….
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Brooklyn The Hole’ by Miku Sakai starts playing its instrumental version as Miku Sakai comes out and starts singing her own theme music while making her way down towards the ring with her face full of joy, knowing that she could win this for sure no matter how good those two are! )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM FUKUI, JAPAN!…WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS!… MIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!….. SAAKKAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/MediumAdvancedAquaticleech-max-1mb.gif
Deadprez: From Voltage, Miku Sakai! The former one-half of the Tag Team Champions when she was a member of Idol Guns and the former Specialist champion is here tonight on Showdown! Her main goal right now is winning the Cash in the Vault briefcase, but tonight, before getting things under control, she’s going to prove herself in this match against two other members of the CITV match this year at Pain For Pride, which are Donovan Duke and Joso!
( ‘Trophies’ by Drake begins playing, eliciting a mixed reaction from the crowd as Joso walks out through the stage, scanning the Showdown crowd. Jos then sets his sights on the ring and heads down the stairs towards it, with an air of determination to add nothing more than another victory to his collection. )
Gina Romano: NEXT!… FROM THE BRONX, NEW YORK!…. WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS!… ‘THE NEW ERA’…. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: You know what can be said the same between me and Joso?
Eve: Yeah?
Deadprez: Here this guy goes again.
Gavin Kirkland: Gavin Kirkland has NEVER even been missing coming to work every single week here on Showdown as the best commentator in all of EAW! Just like Joso, who has consistently been great as a star here in EAW! Since Joso made his debut, he has won countless awards and has been mentioned most of the time, winning the Interview Championship title! Joso has overcome numerous seemingly impossible challenges that people have placed in front of him. :blessed: and TONIGHT!… this is simply just another nail in the coffin for him!
( Joso enters the ring and locks eyes with Miku Sakai, who is chilling in the corner and simply ignoring him. Joso then climbs onto the second rope and poses to the crowd, receiving a mixed reaction in response. Stepping off the second rope, ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church starts playing in the arena, causing Donovan Duke to emerge to a loud cheer from the crowd. Donovan wears a confident smile as he acknowledges the audience before turning his full attention to the ring and making his way towards it. )
Gina Romano: AND FINALLY!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!…. WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… THE ‘OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN’ !!!!!!!!!!… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!… DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Let’s go, Duke! Win one for Showdown!
Deadprez: Donovan Duke emerged victorious in matches against Lexi, Harley Lewis, and Ashlynn Quinn, earning his spot in this year’s Cash in The Vault match! Duke has achieved numerous remarkable feats, solidifying himself as one of the best here on Showdown. With his impressive reign as the longest-reigning National Elite Champion and many other accomplishments, Donovan has truly done it all. Tonight, he aims to once again prove himself and secure not only the coveted 24/7 contract but also the Cash in The Vault briefcase!
( DING DING DING )
Gavin Kirkland: Three ways between three contenders inside Cash In The Vault has begun! Joso, Miku Sakai, and our Showdown representative, Donovan Duke. Three brands send their representatives, crossing swords here tonight on Showdown! Joso represents Dynasty, Donovan Duke represents Showdown, and Miku Sakai represents Voltage! All three competitors keep their eyes on each other, knowing that they have time to kick things off here. But who starts off first?… Oh.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai rolls out of the ring right at the beginning of this match, seeming like she wants to come up with a better plan here, leaving Jos and Donovan confused. But look! Joso comes from behind quickly, going for a roll-up on Donovan! He looks to win already! Donovan somehow kicks out when the referee is about to count one. Donovan immediately returns with speed, stepping in and going for a lariat to take down Joso, but Joso ducks underneath!
Eve: Joso ducks and heads down to the ropes, bouncing off them and trying to run back, but Miku grabs his leg and trips him, sending his face crashing down into the mat and dragging him towards the outside before throwing Joso down to the barricade quickly!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku rolls back inside the ring with Donovan already prepared for what comes next. Donovan runs towards Miku, looking for a Superkick to take her down as she is just returned to this match. But Miku catches his leg, pulling Donovan in and sending him flying through the air with a Monkey Flip…. BUT DONOVAN SOMEHOW LANDS ON BOTH FEET! Miku doesn’t know that yet, as she thought she just won it before Donovan pulled her off the ground from behind and threw her over his head with a German Suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku somehow notices that she’s being grabbed and starts throwing elbows in retaliation into the face of Donovan, trying to get away from him. But Donovan starts realigning his momentum from the hold, dropping down to both knees as Miku keeps spiking his head with relentless blows over and over again! It’s not looking really good for the Duke at the moment! Miku picks Donovan up this time, then seizes him, spinning around with Donovan in a hold. She then hops up to the second rope…
Gavin Kirkland: SHE SPRINGS UP TO THE SECOND ROPE, GOES LIKE A WHIRLING DERVISH SPIN, AND PLANTS HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT!
Eve: Donovan hangs on to Miku, lifting her up high and trying to toss her down to the outside, but Miku manages to free herself from Donovan’s hold. She lands both feet on the apron and delivers a kick from the apron, sending Donovan back into the middle of the ring. Miku is just about to enter the ring, but here comes Joso, who was taken down earlier in this match by her. Joso pulls Miku off the apron and sends her face-first into the edge of the apron!
Deadprez: Joso quickly picks Miku off the ground after taking her down, seizes her and throws her up into the air before DRIVING THE BACK OF HER HEAD RIGHT ONTO THE GROUND WITH A BRAINBUSTER ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR! A BRAINBUSTER ON THE HARD SURFACE SHUTS DOWN MIKU RIGHT AWAY THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is down with Joso returning to his feet, then rolling back into the ring. But Donovan quickly seizes him up for an Inside Cradle Pinfall roll-up! Donovan looks to steal with Joso’s early move that he used against him instead! He goes for a quick win right there!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Eve: JOSO KICKS OUT! Joso then quickly rolls back away from Donovan, dashing towards Donovan from behind and swiftly rolling him up for a Schoolboy Variation! Joso goes for it this time after Donovan!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan kicks out before the count of three, immediately getting back to his feet, so does Joso who is still up for this match and not anywhere close to giving up at all! Joso steps in, going for a Roundhouse kick to decapitate Donovan’s head, but Donovan ducks under, turning back around and replying to Joso with his own Pele Kick right to his face!
Eve: Joso falls back to the ropes, bouncing off and looking for a Shoot Kick for another attempt at attacking Donovan, but Donovan rolls out of his way, dropping down behind Joso and TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX, LANDING THE BACK OF JOSO’S HEAD TO THE MAT! DOWN GOES JOSO!
Deadprez: Well, that’s quite a Dragon Suplex right there, as much as Joso ends up looking like he’s absolutely dead! Now, Donovan starts coming back to his feet with himself heading down towards the corner in front of him, seemingly like this is a signal for a high-flying move. Donovan starts grabbing the middle rope, and now he goes up, but here comes Miku, who finally recovers from the Brainbuster, stepping up to the apron and trying to push Donovan off the top!
Eve: Donovan fights tooth and nail to secure his position as he tries to keep Miku at arm’s length! Donovan delivers a knockout blow straight to Miku’s kisser, sending her reeling backwards…. AND NOW DONOVAN SETS HIMSELF UP FOR A DEATH-DEFYING LEAP WITH A DIVING MOONSAULT!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku isn’t waiting for Donovan to recover right away as she pops up to the second rope again, driving a powerful right hand into Donovan’s gut. She then ascends to the top corner, seizing him…. AND SENDING BOTH OF THEM FLYING OFF THE TOP WITH AN AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! THAT DEVASTATING POWERBOMB JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DONOVAN, AND HE LOOKS DOWNRIGHT STUNNED FROM IT!-
Deadprez: And here comes Joso, picking Miku up right after the Powerbomb, throwing her up high into the air, and PLANTING HER TO THE GROUND WITH A BRIDGING HALF NELSON SUPLEX! JOSO BRIDGES HIS LEGS, GOING FOR A COVER IN THE PROCESS ON MIKU! WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH TO PUT HER DOWN?
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Eve: MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT! This has been quite a preview match so far, ladies and gentlemen. Joso was close to putting Miku Sakai down and winning this match, but after that kickout, he needs to put in more work in order to secure the victory! Joso now coming back to his feet, rising from the ground, pivots to confront Miku head-on…. He begins to hoist her up, aiming to drop her with a Snap Suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku slips away like a shadow, evading Joso’s clutches and leaving him grasping at thin air. Joso turns around, unaware of Miku’s presence, as she stands tall behind him, poised to strike….. BUT JUST AS SHE PREPARES TO MAKE HER MOVE, DONOVAN STEALTHILY INTERVENES! DONOVAN HOOKS BOTH OF MIKU’S ARMS, LIFTING HER UP WITH A SURGE OF STRENGTH, AND DRIVES HER FACE-FIRST INTO THE GROUND WITH A SITOUT FACEBUSTER!…..
Deadprez: A SOCCER KICK TO DONOVAN FROM JOSO!
Eve: Donovan is being taken down once again by Joso, with Joso dropping down on top of Donovan. This time, quickly hooking Donovan’s leg after the soccer kick, Joso goes for a cover, aiming to secure the victory once and for all!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan gets his shoulder off the mat just in the nick of time! No matter how hard Joso wants to win this quickly, he still can’t seem to secure the victory. But maybe he’s about to unveil a better plan soon. Right now, Joso rolls out to the apron, gathering his thoughts and strategizing. What could Joso’s plan be?
Eve: Joso regains both feet with unwavering focus on Donovan, who is still recovering from the takedown….. JOSO TAKES FLIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE, EXECUTING A MAGNIFICENT FLIP IN THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH DONOVAN WITH A SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH!
Gavin Kirkland: A RUNNING DROPKICK IN THE MID-AIR BY MIKU SAKAI TO JOSO! SHE MANAGES TO PULL THIS ONE OFF!
Deadprez: Joso gets a taste of his own medicine as Donovan delivers a perfectly timed dropkick that connects right with his face while he’s in mid-air. But Miku isn’t done yet, as she swiftly pulls Joso off the turnbuckle, sending him crashing down onto the ropes. Joso bounces back, and as he does, MIKU CHARGES FORWARD, TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER, LEAVING JOSO SPRAWLED ON THE MAT!
Eve: Joso lies down on the mat, while Miku shifts her focus to another opponent, Donovan Duke. Miku charges towards Donovan, aiming for another running Blockbuster, but Donovan swiftly catches her with HIS ‘OLE RELIABLE,’ A POWERFUL RIGHT HOOK TO THE JAW!…. FOLLOWING UP WITH HE CONNECTS WITH A SITOUT JAWBREAKER, LEAVING MIKU REELING FROM THE IMPACTFUL COMBINATION!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku is still on her feet, though! She holds down her jaw, trying to recover from those moves by Donovan. But Donovan isn’t waiting patiently! Donovan pops back to shift his feet, seeing her up high in the air and planting her with a Spinebuster! A Spinebuster takes down Miku!
Deadprez: With Miku down, now Donovan attempts to head up to the top once again. He starts climbing up, finally being placed on the top with nobody coming close to distract him. But it’s not going to be easy for him for so long, as Joso barely gets up to his feet with himself still regaining some composure, but that gives Donovan time to do it!… ‘STACK THE DECK’ PHOENIX SPLASH ON MIKU SAKAI!
Eve: JOSO FAKES IT OUT, LETTING DONOVAN HIT THE MOVE, AND NOW HE PUSHES DONOVAN AWAY, DROPPING DOWN INTO A COVER ON MIKU TO PICK UP A WIN! HE’S GOING TO STEAL IT WITH A SMART MOVE THERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan swoops in, disrupting the pin just as the referee’s hand was about to slap the mat for the final count! Jososprings back to his feet like a cat on hot bricks, swiftly lifting Donovan from the canvas to stand tall together…. JOSO NOW ORCHESTRATES THE SETUP FOR THE ‘CRIMSON PEAK’ STYLES CLASH ON DONOVAN!
Deadprez: Donovan manages to escape from Jos’s clutches just in the nick of time, slipping out of his grip! Donovan maneuvers around, CIRCLING BACK AND CATCHING JOSO OFF GUARD WITH A LIGHTNING-FAST RUNNING LARIAT, TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT!
Eve: NO! JOSO BACKFLIPS UNDER DONVAON AND TURNS HIM INTO A POSITION, THROWING HIM UP ON BOTH SHOULDERS AND SENDING HIM RIGHT INTO THE CORNER WITH BUCKLE BOMB! Donovan falls…. INTO A CURB STOMP BY JOSO! DOWN GOES DONOVAN!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO IS STILL NOT DONE WITH PICKING UP A BONE WITH DONVAO YET, PICKING HIM OFF THE GROUND AGAIN, THROWING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM HARD TO THE GROUND…. OH! ‘EXECUTIONER FROM HELL’ FRONT SUPLEX LIFT INTO A CUTTER TAKING DOWN DONOVAN! JOSO DROPS INTO A COVER ON HIM! WOULD THAT BE IT???
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Deadprez: MIKU JUMPS BACK AND BREAKS UP A PIN! NOT SO CLOSE!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso grows to be a bit tired of this match and now he starts trying to return to his feet, reaching for the middle rope and pulling himself up while Miku starts scrambling back to her own feet too. Now both competitors are on their feet. Joso turns around, running down and looking for a Slingblade…. BUT MIKU HOPS BACK AND CATCHES JOS RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A JUMPING HIP ATTACK!
Eve: Joso doesn’t fall to the ground right away, using his momentum to bounce off the ropes instead. Miku springs back to her feet and pounces anew, luring Joso into a false sense of superiority… ONLY TO QUICKLY TURN THE TABLES WITH A WHEELBARROW BULLDOG!
Deadprez: Things aren’t looking really good for Joso anymore as he’s being handled by Miku at the moment. Now Miku looks up to the top corner and now he’s the one climbing up the ropes again. She comes up with a new plan all over again, with Joso still trying to recover from the Bulldog that Miku just planted. Joso holds down his face, looking up… WHILE MIKU TAKES FLIGHT FROM THE TOP AND GOES FOR THE ‘WALK OF SHAME’ DIVING CORKSCREW CUTTER!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso catches and hangs on to her, denying her an opportunity to bring him down with a corkscrew cutter as he seizes her…. PROPELS HER SKYWARD, AND QUICKLY CONFRONTS MIKU WITH A POP-UP KNEE STRIKE, DELIVERING A BLOW RIGHT TO HER VISAGE! Miku goes down to both knees with Jo stepping back away from her as she runs back in and ANOTHER BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF MIKU SAKAI!
Deadprez: A quick counter by Joso takes down Miku Sakai completely. She’s not looking very great for the former Specialist champion right there. Joso immediately picks her off the ground, seizing this golden chance and hoisting Miku onto her shoulders… HE’S AIMING TO BURY HER WITH THE ‘RUNAWAY’ FIREMAN’S CARRY INTO A SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM!-
Eve: ‘DEALER’ CHOICE’ !!!!!!!! A SPINNING BACKFIST TO JOSO! JOSO DROPS MIKU OFF HIS SHOULDERS WITH COLLAPSING TO THE GROUND AND NOW DONOVAN GOES FOR A COVER! THIS COULD BE IT! DONOVAN MIGHT BE ABLE TO PICK UP A WIN RIGHT THERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Gavin Kirkland: KICK OUT! Joso is now rolling away from Donovan down to the corner, leaving Donovan with another failed attempt in winning this match. Donovan starts having a fire sparking in his eyes as he rolls away from Joso. He now starts coming back, with Donovan running out of the corner and a lariat takes down Joso!
Eve: Joso immediately pops back to his feet right after the lariat, Donovan turns back around and CONNECTS WITH HIS MOUTH A SAVATE KICK, TAKING THE TASTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH!… ROLLING BEHIND HIM…. AND SENDING JOSO FLYING ACROSS THE RING WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Joso is being planted with a German Suplex on the back of his neck, but he’s quickly coming back to his feet once again, looking still stunned. Donavon sees that he’s set to take another shot. Donavon rolls back, running in at full speed, and… CUTS JOSO IN HALF THIS TIME WITH A SPEAR THAT SHUTS HIM DOWN COMPLETELY! DOWN GOES JOSO! DONAVON HAS A MASSIVE ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku just starts coming back to her feet while watching Joso being fried by Donovan’s spear. Donovan turns back around, charging at Miku, looking to take her down too. But Miku quickly snatches his arm, walks up the middle rope, and looks for a Springboard Tornado DDT on him! Donovan holds onto her and they both land on the ground, with Miku popping up high to the middle rope instead… HE ROLLS FORWARD AND QUICKLY SPIKES MIKU DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CARTWHEEL DDT! DOWN GOES MIKU! DONOVAN HOOKS HER LEG FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
….
Eve: Donovan is still not too close to winning this match as Miku Sakai manages to kick out before the count of three! Miku with a kick out, leaving Donovan failing to win this match once again!
Eve: Donovan now starts getting more frustrated but a little hyped up at the same time as he rolls back to his feet, picking Miku off the ground with him. He hurls her into the corner and sets his sights on Joso, who is just emerging from the aftermath of those strikes.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan walks down to pick him up, but Joso starts fighting back to resist! Donovan lands a knee right into his gut, stopping him from resisting, and then tosses him into the corner where Miku is as Joso crashes hard on Miku, who is down in the corner!…. DONOVAN CHARGES DOWN AND COLLIDES WITH BOTH ELITISTS AT THE CORNER WITH A HARD LARIAT! And now… what’s he going for here?
Deadprez: That’s an incredibly intense moment here as Donovan starts taking both competitors out of the corner, turning them back around by grabbing Miku and Joso simultaneously! What’s his plan?…. OH MY GOD, HE’S GOING FOR A DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX…. AND HE DOES IT! HE TAKES THOSE TWO DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH JUST A SINGLE GERMAN SUPLEX! WHAT A POWER SHOWING BY DONOVAN!
Eve: Everybody is down as Donovan is the only one remaining standing on his feet. He’s setting his eyes on the corner once again. Joso starts rolling out to the outside, leaving Miku lying down in a heap from the German Suplex! Donovan heads up to the corner, and he’s going for it!…. ‘STACK THE DECK’ PHOENIX SPLASH ON MIKU SAKAI!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU BARELY WITH BOTH KNEES UP! SHE COUNTERS AND QUICKLY ROLLS DONOVAN UP!

Deadprez: JOSO PULLS THE REFEREE DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE! Joso wastes no time rolling back into the ring, picking up Miku, and getting her back on her feet after that roll-up. He throws her up into the air….
Deadprez: THE ‘FINAL CLASH,’ SHUTTING DOWN MIKU! HE LIFTS HER WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX AND DROPS HER INTO A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER, PUTTING MIKU TO SLEEP! NOW JOSO IS THE ONE GOING FOR A COVER ON MIKU! HE’S GOING TO DO IT!

Eve: Joso, himself, rolling away and now begins to recover from the breakup that Donovan just caused! Donovan, himself, starts coming back from Miku’s counter! Joso confronts Donovan, quickly grabbing him. He lifts him off the ground and looks to execute the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ Package Piledriver!….
Deadprez: Donovan struggles, but both feet land on the mat! Donovan quickly lifts Joso onto his shoulders…. ‘DUKE OF HAZARD’ !!!!!!!!!! FIREMAN’S CARRY BACK-TO-BELLY PILEDRIVER, DROPPING JOSO HARD TO THE GROUND! THAT’S IT! JOSO IS OUT! DONOVAN SCRAMBLES DOWN TO GO FOR A COV-

Eve: What a tremendous victory by Miku Sakai, and it was an incredible match overall! Every participant in that match performed exceptionally well, but congratulations to Miku Sakai for seizing the opportunity and securing a win for herself, showcasing her readiness to become the winner of Cash in The Vault this year!
( ‘Brooklyn The Hole’ by starts playing as Miku rises back to her feet, raising her hands high in the air with a beaming smile of pure happiness. Meanwhile, Joso rolls out of the ring, still recovering from the move, as does Donovan. The final shot captures Miku Sakai basking in the glory of her victory over the two before the cameras fade to other scenes elsewhere. )
(The camera fades back to ringside as Deadprez stands in the ring with microphone in hand, there are three medical individuals inside the ring with him where a table and four chairs are set up, a few mics and the one seat in front of the table where the three professionals sit, two men and a woman all dressed in suits and lab coats. There are also four Auburn Police officers and eight EAW security placed around ringside.)
Deadprez: EAW Universe, welcome! Tonight, we are holding a Psychiatric evaluation on Kassidy Heart thanks to the request by the Universal Women’s Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue in due part to the attack that we all witnessed least week on Super Voltage: Beach Brawl. If you missed it, take a look.
(The camera switches to the Tron but the footage starts to play for the fans at home as well.)
(The crowd immediately comes to life, roaring into thunderous cheers while Bethany perks up in confusion. She looks around, with no clue what’s happening, before finally catching who is making a beeline toward her.)
James Peters: KASSIDY HEART! SHE’S HERE! She’s walking with a purpose to the ring, shouting at Bethany and trying to get her attention! For these past couple of weeks Bethany has done nothing but attack her from behind and drag her through the mud with personal taunts, and it seems like Kassidy has had enough! She’s here for a fight and she wants Bethany to know that, she wants her to be ready for what’s to come!
Persephone: Oh this girl is crazy, I like it. As long as there’s blood after this then y’all can do whatever you please.
(Bethany nods her head quickly, yelling at Kassidy back and begging her to get into the ring with her. Even though she’s coming fresh off a match, she’d be a fool to try and run away from this situation. She’s welcoming the fight. The crowd is on their feet as Kassidy slides into the ring…)
Rich Russillo: AND HERE WE GO! KASSIDY SLIDES IN AND BETHANY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TOWARD HER AND BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TOWARD THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SHE’S TRYING TO CATCH HER OFF GUARD SO THAT SHE CAN BE THE ONE LEFT STANDING AFTER THIS FIGHT, BUT WE KNOW KASSIDY ALL TOO WELL, SHE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS LYING DOWN! KASSIDY GRABS THE ANKLES OF BETHANY AND TRIPS HER TO THE GROUND, BEFORE MOUNTING ON TOP OF HER AND BEGINNING TO SLAM VICIOUS FOREARMS AND ELBOWS DOWN ONTO HER FACE! KASSIDY HAS TAKEN CONTROL AND BETHANY IS QUICKLY ON THE DEFENSE TRYING TO BRING HER FOREARMS UP!
James Peters: BUT THE SHEER POWER OF KASSIDY IS BREAKING THROUGH THAT, JUST ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE FROM THE HALL OF FAMER AND BETHANY IS TRYING TO FIND AN ANSWER FOR IT RIGHT NOW! SHE LETS HER GUARD DOWN AND ABSORBS THE BLOWS BEFORE GRABBING HER AROUND THE WAIST AND ROLLING HER OVER! BETHANY IS ON TOP WHILE KASSIDY IS STILL TRYING TO THRASH AND CLAW, BUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION IS BEGINNING TO SEND SOME SHOTS OF HER OWN DOWN ON HER CHALLENGER! THIS HAS TURNED INTO A FISTFIGHT AND BOTH OF THESE WOMEN REFUSE TO RELENT!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS JUST DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN TO BEAT DOWN ON HER RIGHT NOW, BUT THE FATIGUE OF THE MATCH AND KASSIDY HEART IS DOING A NUMBER ON HER RIGHT NOW, AND SHE’S NOT AT HER FULL POWER LIKE SHE WOULD ANY OTHER DAY! KASSIDY KNOWS THAT, AND I THINK SHE’S WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND COMPLETELY TURN AROUND THIS SITUATION, JUST ABSORBING THE BLOWS RIGHT NOW WHICH I DON’T THINK SEEMS TO BE DOING A NUMBER ON HER! BETHANY IS THROWING EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS LEFT AT HER IN HOPES OF KEEPING HER DOWN!
James Peters: KASSIDY SLIPS HER HEAD AFTER ONE OF BETHANY’S PUNCHES AND PUSHES HERSELF OFF OF THE CANVAS, LUNGING HERSELF FORWARD, SHE HAS THE NECK! KASSIDY IS BITING BETHANY AND THE CHAMPION IS JUST SCREAMING IN PAIN NOW AS SHE’S GRABBING KASSIDY AND TRYING TO PULL HER OFF, BUT KASSIDY HAS HER TEETH LATCHED ONTO HER NECK AS THE MORE BETHANY FIGHTS BACK THE MORE SHE PULLS AT THE SKIN LIKE IT’S A PIECE OF MEAT!
Persephone: OH, SHE’S CRAZY CRAZY! GO ON KEEP BITING AT IT! MAKE HER SUFFER, YEAH!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY FINALLY RELEASES AND BETHANY IMMEDIATELY BREAKS AWAY, GRABBING AT HER NECK WHICH HAS TO BE GUSHING BLOOD NOW, WITH KASSIDY ADMIRING HER WORK BEFORE QUICKLY MOUNTING BACK ON TOP OF HER AND BEGINNING TO GO TO WORK WITH THOSE VICIOUS STRIKES OF HERS! THE TIDES HAVE COMPLETELY TURNED NOW, WITH THE CHAMPION ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS IN THE FACE OF SOME BRUTAL OFFENSE BY KASSIDY!
(The crowd boos upon seeing security quickly rushing out, trying to break up the scene, but Kassidy also sees them as well. She immediately lets go of Bethany and rushes to the end of the ring, giving them a death glare. Security instantly backs off, they know what happens if they try to mess with Kassidy Heart of all people, even looking past the power she has in this company. While all of this is happening, Bethany still has one hand over the wounded area of her neck, the other hand is clawing toward the bottom rope, trying to pull herself toward them and gain some sort of ground in a precarious position…)
James Peters: KASSIDY SHOOING SECURITY AWAY, MY GUESS IS THAT SHE’S FAR FROM DONE AND LOOKS TO CONTINUE HER ASSAULT! SHE MAKES HER WAY OVER TO BETHANY WHO IS PRESUMABLY TRYING TO GET UP AND SHE HAS HER BY THE ANKLES, BUT BETHANY TRIES TO SEND HER BACK WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! SHE’S TRYING TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM BUT ALL THAT’S DONE IS RILE KASSIDY UP SOME MORE! SHE SNATCHES BETHANY AND PULLS HER BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE LUNGING FORWARD AND GETTING BACK ON THE OFFENSIVE! AND THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH A PERSON CAN TAKE! NOBODY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THIS ONSLAUGHT!
(Kassidy seizes her by the head, beginning to slam it repeatedly down to the canvas as blood splatters are seen painting it thanks to her stiff shots to Bethany’s face which caused a gash to form. The Champion at this point is near lifeless in the hands of Kassidy, but every so often tries to reach her hands out to try and force her off, obviously to no use. Ultimately after the beating has gone on long enough, Kassidy lets go. She steps back and Bethany looks like she came fresh out of a horror movie. She desperately gasps for air, still showing life even after all of this, and that doesn’t make Kassidy happy at all.)
Persephone: KASSIDY GRABS BETHANY BY THE HEAD AND THROWS HER OUT OF THE RING, THEY’RE HEADED TO THE OUTSIDE NOW! HURRAY MORE VIOLENCE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY FALLS BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE, BUT KASSIDY HAS HER BY THE HEAD AND THROWS HER AGAINST THE RING APRON AT FULL FORCE! BETHANY GIVES A SCREAM WHILE KASSIDY GRABS A HOLD OF HER AGAIN, SENDING HER INTO THE BARRICADE THIS TIME! BETHANY IS DOWN BUT KASSIDY IS MAKING SURE THAT SHE’S UP ON HER FEET NOW, AS THE HALL OF FAMER HEAVES HER UP ONTO HER SHOULDER…
(CRACK!)
James Peters: SENDING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! SHE DROPS BETHANY DOWN TO THE GROUND BUT QUICKLY GRABS AT HER HEAD AGAIN…
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
Persephone: SLAMMING HER HEAD REPEATEDLY AGAINST THE RINGPOST! THAT THUD, IT TURNS ME ON!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY ISN’T DONE JUST YET AS SHE BRINGS BETHANY BACK UP AND ONCE AGAIN ONTO HER SHOULDERS…
(CRACK!)
James Peters: SENDING HER INTO THE RING POST AGAIN AT FULL FORCE! BUT SHE ISN’T DONE AS SHE ROUNDS THE CORNER FROM THERE…
(CRASH!)
Persephone: SENDING HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS LIKE A BATTERING RAM! BETHANY IS DOWN, and oh look I think Kassidy is looking under the ring!
Rich Russillo & James Peters: :lupe:!!!
(Kassidy is digging under the ring, but it does not take very long to find what she needs out of there like it’s been placed for her own convenience…)
Persephone: GLASS PANES?! NOW WE’RE TALKING!
(Stacks of large glass panes, all banded together, Kassidy rips it off before taking one of them and leaning it up against the barricade. Bethany is half dead right now, but clutching onto the steps she sees what Kassidy is setting up, there’s nothing she can do to respond though.)
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS UP…
(CRASH!)
James Peters: BEFORE KASSIDY GRABS HER AROUND THE WAIST AND LAUNCHES HER INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRST GLASS PANE! I DON’T THINK SHE’S DONE THOUGH, THERE’S A REASON THERE ARE MULTIPLE!
(Kassidy takes the other glass pane and positions it before lifting Bethany up again…)
(CRASH!)
Persephone: SENDING HER INTO ANOTHER ONE!
(Kassidy then takes the others that are left and sets them up in a row, before then grabbing her by the head once again.)
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SENDS HER INTO A THIRD GLASS PANE! SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS!
Persephone: Didn’t you see her just shoo all of them away? That’s Kassidy Heart for Gawd’s sake if they don’t want to lose their jobs then they’ll do what she says.
(CRASH!)
James Peters: KASSIDY TAKES BETHANY BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE FOURTH GLASS PANEL! KASSIDY THEN PICKS HER RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN…
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: INTO THE FIFTH! OH MY GOD! HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS?!
(Kassidy looks down at the absolute mess that once was the Universal Women’s Champion Dr. Bethany Blue, and for the first time throughout this entire assault, she looks satisfied with what she’s made her into. Finally, payback after all these weeks, better yet months, of everything that has been going on between the two, all of it systematically leading to a match at Pain For Pride with the Universal Women’s Championship on the line. Kassidy has craved a moment like this, to leave her in a bloody heap just as she did all those months ago. Bethany is not moving, face down on the ring mat with glass shards sticking out of her and a coat of blood. Kassidy makes her way around, yelling for a microphone which is swiftly granted to her as she rounds the corner once again. She crouches down to look at Bethany before bringing the microphone up, the crowd going silent to hear what she has to say.)
Kassidy Heart: Pain For Pride, you and I, Glass Wallz.
(She slams the microphone down while the crowd absolutely erupts into thunderous cheers, excited to see the return of the hellacious match type to EAW after the Disney Merger and better yet between two of the best women that this company has ever seen.)
(The footage ends, transitioning back to Deadprez who isa standing there with a mic in hand.)
Deadprez: As we saw the brutal attack by Kassidy Heart who was not supposed to be on Voltage, that definitely surprised the Universal Women’s Champion. We saw the aftermath on a special Fight Grid where she basically told Captain Charisma that she will accept nothing less than a Psychiatric Evaluation before she even dares to put the title on the line at Pain For Pride and especially in a Glass Wallz match that was created by Kassidy’s husband and owner of the EAW himself, Methuselah. We saw the damage on Dr. Bethany Blue, she was in and out of consciousness for a few hours, until finally the Commissioner acknowledged her request, and it was indeed an almost unanimous decision by the Board of Directors with only one vote saying “no”, that of course was Methuselah. After granted permission, these three Doctors will determine whether or not Kassidy will be fit to compete against the Universal Women’s Champion at Pain for Pride.
(The crowd boos, they have a bloodlust and want to see it all come to fruition. They want to see these two women beat the hell out of each other.)
Deadprez: May I introduce the panel at this time. First we have Dr. Angela Crawford from Health First Medical Facilities in Boston. She is joined by Dr. Kyle Sabol a renowned Psychiatric expert out of the University of Miami with his own private practice located in Boca Raton, Florida.
(The crowd starts to boo as he is a practicing Doctor from the same university as Bethany and runs a practice in the same residing city as well.)
Deadprez: Finally, we have Dr. Heinrich Strasburg, a world traveled Psychiatrist from Norway. They will be the one4s conducting our Psychiatric Evaluation. Without further ado, may I introduce at this time, the Elitist that will challenge for the Universal Women’s Championship at Pain For Pride…. KASSIDY HEART!
(“Partition” by Beyonce starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd gives a mixed reaction but mostly positive as they want to see Bethany and Kassidy face off at Pain For Pride. Kassidy walks out already in her wrestling gear since she is ready to face Veena Adams right after this evaluation. She lowers her red colored lenses glaring right at the panel of Psychiatrist before stepping in the ring. Deadprez hands her a mic as she nods, he steps out of the ring and back to the announcers booth. Kassidy paces some, not wanting to sit but she is instructed to.)
Dr. Kyle Sabol: Kassidy, please sit.
Kassidy Heart: Isn’t it ironic that you graduated from the same University as Bethany and ran a practice in the same city. Is that really coincidence? I don’t think so. I can already tell that this is going to be a huge farce.
Dr. Kyle Sabol: I can assure you that this is strictly professional. I graduated many years ahead of Dr. Bethany Blue and have had very little interaction with her outside of Medical conventions. Please sit down or that will be the first sign that you are definitely not mentally stable enough to compete against Dr. Blue.
(The usually defiant Kassidy Heart knows that she must pass this ridiculous evaluation after last week, she sits down and crosses her legs, looking quite sarcastic as she glares at the panel.)
Dr. Kyle Sabol: As you know there is a lot of concern on your mental health and well-being and just how much of a danger you are or can be to your fellow Elitists here in the EAW. We saw the footage of what happened last week and to say that was appalling is definitely an understatement. You have shown absolutely no regard to human life, shown a mental instability in the past even wearing a facial protector used on psychotics to keep them from biting people which we saw you take a chunk out of Bethany’s neck that just a little lower would have killed her.
Kassidy Heart: Good.
Dr. Kyle Sabol: Excuse me?
Kassidy Heart: I said oh darn.
Dr. Kyle Sabol: Anyways, what we have seen so far in your history, it shows that you have indeed have had some psychotic episodes that can be put into perspective especially since you do acknowledge to have a split5 personality that you call “The Mauler” in which it has been used for moments like what we saw last week on Voltage and mind you and everyone else, we understand this is a combat sport, but when the competitors then try to kill one another, it is then our job and due diligence to explore exactly why and see if they are indeed deemed to fit and compete.
(Kassidy quickly responds.)
Kassidy Heart: Funny that you said that, because what I see is someone trying to protect a woman that tried to do the exact same thing, but I guess bashing a brick over the back of someone’s head is normal behavior?
Dr. Angela Crawford: No, it is not normal behavior, Ms. Heart but unlike you, Dr. Bethany Blue has already explained her actions and they were in retaliation to what you did to her a few years ago. We are not condoning what Dr. Blue did at all, but unlike yourself, Dr. Blue has not shown any pattern of constant mental instability like you have. She has gone through her own psychiatric evaluation and while there are some things that were discovered that would indeed raise some red flags, what Dr. Blue suffers from is not a complete breakdown of her mental capacity but instead some anger issues and PTSD that she has reacted to when pushed into that same realm od violence or a situation similar to it. Unlike yourself who has already shown she would devour human flesh and take part in acts of cannibalism just to hurt someone, which I am sure that everyone here can agree, it is not normal behavior.
Kassidy Heart: Not of normal behavior? Bethany is just as sick and twisted as you think I am. I simply was getting back at her for what she tried to do to me which was end my career, even my life. I don’t know if any of you pay much attention to the EAW, but this is a dog eat dog world out here and it is survival of the fittest. If anything, I am a victim of my surroundings as is Bethany, outside of this ring we are both women that fight for everything they have. I have a family, she has a practice, we are both married, and I am a parent, if you think that you’re going to single me out when she has done the exact same things at me, you’re wrong and I will NOT tolerate this. She got what she deserved, there is no reasoning other than that for this woman, I don’t care what any of you say.
(There is a pause, some of the crowd cheer after what Kassidy said, others boo.)
Dr. Heinrich Strasburg: So, you are telling me, a woman that was kidnapped and drugged by her now husband, who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, has multiple concussions and we have seen the brain scans which tell me there is severe trauma to the head, having to go through such a mentally exhausting procedure like an abortion which can indeed have a long term effect on others, also as we recall by watching back what led to all of this in the first place, didn’t you invade the home of Dr. Blue and attack her friends and staff just to get her to agree to a match with you back in 2020 at Road to Redemption? You did, just like so many other random acts of violence to the point that you needed to be arrested and even tasered. Kassidy, I do understand your dilemma, I really do, but the scene last week was out of a horror movie, we have gone back to see other instances of this type of behavior by other Elitists in the EAW and though we have found quite a few that go along these lines, there was only one intent here and that was to maim and even murder Dr. Bethany Blue.
Kassidy Heart: Because she ATTACKED me!
Dr. Angela Crawford: I can see that you are starting to get very angry here Kassidy and that then makes me wonder how you are as a parent with your children as well. We know that a lot of your actions can be hidden behind the walls of the EAW because this is professional wrestling, but you have shown a much more troubling pattern of behavior that could indeed cause a threat to others that work and even live with you, but what we are here is to determined if you are indeed fit to compete against Dr. Bethany Blue at Pain for Pride.
(Kassidy’s blood is starting to boil, she feels like this is all a setup by Bethany to make her look mentally unstable, though even Kassidy knows that at times she is not all there, and it is very hard for her to control those emotions. She starts to clench her fists.)
Dr. Kyle Sabol: I can see that you are starting to get extremely upset here as we continue to talk. I though am not convinced this is all about the spirit of competition, using your abuse of power thanks to your husband for implementing this “Glass Wallz” stipulation which the three of us did see and we must admit, that seems to be a very dangerous predicament that you have put Bethany in. She was fine with just a regular match, but what you did showed that there is only one intention here and that is to hurt her to the point that it could get you off scott free thanks to it being under the EAW banner.
Kassidy Heart: WE ARE COMPETITORS! We are here to wrestle, to fight! If Bethany wants to try and take me out, then she can try but it will be under Glass Wallz! She had no business attacking me, I would have left her be!
Dr. Kyle Sabol: Would you have? I don’t think so. See, Kassidy after reviewing your medical records that we did not bypass any HIPPA laws as they were available through the EAW at the request of our evaluation, there is a history of mental deficiency and violence. You are sick, Kassidy and I think we all know that you would have come after Bethany regardless because she has something you want, it was only a matter of time. Abd after your failure last year ay Pain for Pride to achieve it, this need has been slowly growing into an obsession to the point that you will hurt anyone to get it.
(Kassidy slowly stands up.)
Kassidy Heart: What exactly are you saying?
Dr. Kyle Sabol: It is in my professional opinion that maybe you are not mentally fit to compete against Dr. Bethany Blue at Pain for Pride and furthermore, it is my recommendation to the EAW Board of Directors that you enter a Psychiatric program where we can help and evaluate you further until we are satisfied that you are fit to compete. Are we in agreement?
Dr. Angela Armstrong: I am.
Dr. Heinrich Strasburg: I am as well.
Dr. Kyle Sabol: Then it is settled, I am sorry Kassidy, but we find you unf…..
(But before Dr. Sabol can finish his sentence, Kassidy springs out and jumps over the table tackling Sabol and attacking him. You can hear her screaming and even trying to bite his face off when the other two Doctor’s flee the scene and both he police and security slide in the ring. The crowd is erupting.)
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART JUST ASSAULTED DR. SABOL AND SHE GAVE NO DAMNS, BRUH! SHE FLEW OVER THE TABLE AND TRIED TO TAKE HIM DOWN AND SHE IS TRYING TO BITE HIS FACE OFF!
Eve: A CHAOTIC SCENE WE HAVE HERE! SECURITY AND POLICE ARE TRYING TO PRY HER OFF….. SHE HITS ONE OF THE SECURITY GUARDS! WAIT… SHE HEADBUTTS ANOTHER AND EVEN SPLITS HER OWN HEAD OPEN! KASSIDY HAS GONE BALLISTIC!
Gavin Kirkland: IF THIS ISN’T PROOF ENOUGH THAT SHE IS UNFIT TO COMPETE AFTER WHAT SHE DID TO BETHANY LAST WEEK, WELL HERE YOU GO! SHE IS EVEN HITTING THE POLICE AND THEY TAKE HER DOWN! THEY HAVE KASSIDY DOWN AND ARE TRYING TO HANDCUFF HER!
Deadprez: I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN….. BUT WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!
(Kassidy is being retrained by the police and security as Dr. Sabol slides out of the ring holding his bloodied lip and nose as the scene fades into a commercial break.)
(As we return from commercial, Kassidy is being dragged in the back to the police car as she continues to kick and scream. EAW Officials are there trying to calm her down but to no avail as they haul her into a police car. After a few moments, the car drives off with Kassidy trying to klick the window to the back seat of the cruiser as the sirens can be heard sounding off at the distance.)
Deadprez: I don’t know what happened, but things broke down quick here and if I am hearing things right, the match for the Universal Women’s Championship might have been called off, I don’t know!
Gavin Kirkland: It serves her right considering everything that has been happening this past week. Bethany looked like the victim of an animal mauling, so I am sorry if you all think that she is indeed trying to be all over dramatic, that was insane, and Kassidy completely lost it!
Eve: It really was and what does that mean for Pain for Pride….. also for to….
(Suddenly “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd erupts in boos. She slowly walks out in her wrestling gear, Ashlynn Quinn is with her all smiles as they both pose and then head to the ring.)
Eve: And there is my answer, Veena Adams damn well knows that Kassidy is gone but she wants to make sure that she indeed is the one that gets the win here tonight over Kassidy Heart, she is probably coming out here to gloat.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s okay…. We can forgive the Queen for this!
Deadprez: Veena Adams with all her glory is coming out and even Gina Romano doesn’t know what to do.
(Gina Romano is standing there confused before she finally shrugs her shoulders and announces Veena.)
Gina Romano: PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…. THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY ASHLYNN QUINN! VEENA ADAMS!
(The crowd continues to boo as Ashlynn holds the ropes for Veena who steps in, she then poses again to the crowd before holding the National Elite Championship proudly over her shoulder, she takes the mic from Gina Romano)
Veena Adams: Oh… boo hoo! It looks like that crazy bitch was found crazy after all and all I have ever done is told everyone that, but noooooo, don’t listen to Veena! What this is? A blessing in disguise because let’s face it, I was going to wipe the mat with Kassidy anyway, so she actually saved herself the embarrassment. So now I am the winner of the match thanks to her forfeit because she is a total psycho and couldn’t deal with her own demons. Too bad…. So sad… not! So, what should we do Ashlynn?
Ashlynn Quin: Totally give all these Uggo’s in Auburn who are some of the most disgusting things I have ever seen or smelled, a makeover tutorial so they can finally learn some fashion sense!
(Veena and Ashlynn both look at each other and then laugh.)
Veena Adams: Nice try, but we both know that will never be possible! So how about you get a referee out here and declare me the winner!
Ashlynn Quinn: Totally mother! And….
(But before Ashlynn can finish her sentence, Jack Ripley comes barreling out from the back and slides in behind them as they were not paying attention and instead looking at the crowd.)
Deadprez: JACK RIPLEY JUST SLIPPED UNDER THE ROPES BEHIND VEENA AND ASHLYNN… THEY HAVE NO CLUE…. AND….. WAIT…. WAIT…. YOU’LL FLOAT TOO! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS ON ASHLYNN AND SHE FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES! VEENA SEES THIS AND CHARGES IN WITH THE TITLE BELT TO HI JACK RIPLEY AND HE DUCKS!
Gavin Kirkland: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO AND HE KICKED THE TITLE BELT THAT VEENA TRIED TO BLOCK IT WITH AND IT WENT RIGHT INTO HER FACE! WAIT…. OH NO! OH NO! VEENA IS BLEEDING FROM HER NOSE! SHE IS BLEEDING FROM HER NOSE! NOT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE!
(Veena holds her nose and screams in pain as blood gushes everywhere and she screams, rolling out of the ring and Jack Ripley grabs the National Elite Championship and holds it up in the air as the crowd does cheer for the NEW Hall of Fame inductee in Jack Ripley.)
Eve: THAT IS NOT WHAT VEENA ENVISIONED WOULD HAPPEN HERE TONIGHT AND SHE MIGHT HAVE A BROKEN NOSE! THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND ASHLYNN IS STILL OUT COLD ON THE OUTSIDE! VEENA IS SCURRYING TO THE BACK FOR ME3DICAL ATTENTION!
(“Blue World” by Mac Miller starts to play as Jack poses with the National Elite Championship which then prompts for the camera to go backstage with Kyra Phillips. This might be an important time for the Elitist’s, but it is also a chance for each interviewer to get themselves the big scoop heading into Pain for Pride. Having been given her cue she lifts the mic and starts to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guests currently, Devolutions Jon Kelton and Londyn Zelaya
(The camera pans out, Jon and Londyn predictably being booed by the capacity crowd in attendance who are not shy in letting their thoughts be known. Jon shakes his head in disappointment, Londyn scowls as if she doesn’t understand why they are being jeered. Kyra continues regardless.)
Kyra Phillips: Jon, we are now just a few weeks removed from Pain for Pride and you just saw what happened out there with Jack Ripley and Veena Adams…
Jon Kelton: Hold on. No, you are not going to do this Kyra.
Kyra Phillips: Excuse me?
Londyn Zelaya: You’re not going to wash over what happened last week on Showdown just because we’re not ‘fan favorites’ whatever than means just because Jack got a special moment just now over Veena.
Kyra Phillips: Err, that wasn’t my intention.
Jon Kelton: Sure, of course it wasn’t. I mean, I guess you loved watching Jack Ripley jump me and laying me out, didn’t you? Now he did it to Ashlynn and Veena as well? Nah eh! Not going to happen.
Kyra Phillips: It’s not my job to have an opinion Jon.
Londyn Zelaya: Since when have you been concerned about doing your job. I mean, you could have opened this interview by presenting the facts. Like how much Jack Ripley is a coward.
Jon Kelton: I couldn’t have put that any better myself Londyn. Jack Ripley IS a coward, and he knows that he cannot hold a candle to me or even Adams.
(Kelton is obviously more than a little annoyed with his current situation, and no doubt is a little embarrassed that Jack was able to lay him out in the first place.)
Jon Kelton: See, the thing is with Jack Ripley, he was ‘once’ a big deal, forget the Hall of Fame inductee crap and he’s having a lot of trouble getting used to the fact that he isn’t any longer. So, he thinks that by jumping one of the big dogs, he will get ahead and once again claim his place at the top of this roster. Do you think I’m going to let that happen Kyra?
(Kyra shrugs her shoulders, it seemed like the best answer to give.)
Jon Kelton: No, I’m not. See, Jack might think that attacking me was a good idea, and I know he’s been having cozy little chats with Kennedy, who has told him to take control of his career. But Jack, I’m telling you now, taking me out wasn’t what she meant. And now, you and I have some issues to ‘discuss’. Let’s see if you can lay me out man to man instead of cheap shotting me when my back is turned. I’ll give you the answer to that… no you can’t.
Kyra Phillips: Can it not be said that you joined Kennedy Street to stop things like this happening?
(Jon looks annoyed for a moment, but then a smirk grows over his face.)
Jon Kelton: No Kyra, that isn’t why I joined Devolution. I joined Kennedy Street because I shared her vision. The way that Showdown should be run, without the likes of Jack Ripley hogging airtime that he hasn’t deserved in years. I was tired of waiting for things to happen, for things to start going my way, and so I recognized that I need to take control and stop believing that there is a right way to achieve things in this company.
Kyra Phillips: But weren’t Devolution stopped by Dominion and Ms. Extreme?
(Jon bites his bottom lip, looking up to the ceiling, and Londyn sensing this speaks for him.)
Londyn Zelaya: Devolution weren’t stopped, far from it in fact. Did you even see the mess that Pandora made of Ms. Extreme? Do you really believe they won?
Kyra Phillips: Well, Ms. Extreme, Xander and Ryan seems to think so.
Londyn Zelaya: Well then, they are idiots. Pandora is recovering from her efforts, and Amir is with her like he should be. But they will be back. Devolution’s mission has only just begun, and you can rest assured, while they are away, Jon will be carrying the cause. Dominion, Ms. Extreme, they won’t get so lucky next time, I promise you that. Devolution CANNOT be stopped, and you had all better get used to that.
(Kyra raises her eyebrows, Londyn catching her expression.)
London Zelaya: And that includes you Kyra. A few words in Kennedy’s ear and you would be out of a job, so you’d better stop looking at us like that.
(Kyra swallows, not liking the way this interview was going, so she tries to bring it back to the way she wanted it to begin.)
Kyra Phillips: So, Pain for Pride… Kennedy Street has been a huge supporter of Veena Adams as she has continued her championship reign…
Jon Kelton: That she has, but all reigns must come to an end.
Kyra Phillips: So, I’m guessing you think you can beat her?
(Jon scoffs at the question, and rolls his eyes at Londyn.)
Londyn Zelaya: No, he KNOWS he can beat her. Broken nose or not!
Kyra Phillips: So, you plan on leaving Pain for Pride with that championship belt?
Jon Kelton: Jesus Christ Kyra, it’s like being interviewed by someone in Kindergarten. Give me that…
(He snatches the mic from Kyra, Londyn smirking as he does. Jon steps forwards, closer to the camera, his eyes piercing.)
Jon Kelton: I want you ALL to listen. What happened with Jack Ripley last week and just now, that is the very last time. I AM tired of waiting for things to happen, so this is how things will go from here. Veena, you have been an exemplary champion, I can see why Kennedy thinks highly of you, but I’m sorry, you will NOT survive Pain for Pride. I promise, to every single person listening to me right now, I will end this season with Gold around my waist. Exactly the way it should be.
(He turns, and thrusts the mic into Kyra’s chest, obviously hurting her. He and Londyn then walk off down the corridor, Kyra left with tears in her eyes.)
(The camera returns to ringside and focuses on Deadprez at the commentary table before heading to the ring for tonight’s main event match.)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Showdown! Before we head to the ring and start the introductions for tonight’s main event, allow me to introduce our special guest commentators for this match. They will be challenging for the Unified Tag Team Titles at Pain for Pride. They are Xander Payne and Ryan Joseph Wilson… DOMINION!
(The camera shot widens to show the entire commentary table that includes DOMINION.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Thank you for having us.
Xander Payne: Glad to be here, considering that the team holding our Tag Team Titles is in this match.
Eve: Alright. Right to the point. Let’s head to the ring where Gina Romano is ready to make the introductions for tonight’s main event.
(The camera cuts to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand, ready to make the introductions for tonight’s main event.)
Gina Romano: The following contest has a THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell starts to play as Hans Grayson, Alex Myers, and 2023 King of Elite Adam Lucas enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. The trio have determined looks on their faces as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making their way to the ring! At a total combined weight of 627 pounds! They are the team of HANS GRAYSON, ALEX MYERS, AND THE 2023 KING OF ELITE ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: Here comes a team of challengers heading to the ring. All three have a lot on the line at Pain for Pride even though Alex isn’t challenging for a title belt.
Xander Payne: As long as they save enough of POTARA for us, then we are ok with them beating the crap out of them.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Exactly.
Eve: What remains to be seen is if Adam Lucas can control his temper long enough to win this match or will what Jake said last week be fresh on his mind? This team has a lot of talent and can easily win this match to get some momentum on their side.
(The trio enter the ring and take their corner as Adam’s entrance music fades off. Seconds later, “WAR” by grandson starts to play as Answers World Champion Jake Smith and the Tag Team Champions POTARA enter the arena. The crowd is cheering them, but not as loudly as they did for the first team as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing their opponents! At a total combined weight of 477 pounds. They are the team of THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, POTARA! AND THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, JAKE SMITH!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the opposition and the color of the night must be gold because they have a lot of it.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: For now.
Xander Payne: Just wait until Pain for Pride and you’ll be singing to a different tune.
Eve: Last week, Jake and Adam had a brawl after contract signing and there’s no doubt Adam wants to continue where they left out.
Deadprez: All six competitors are involved in big time matches at Pain for Pride and we are about to find out which team will get momentum. Which team will prevail? We are about to find out now!
(The opposing team slides into the ring as Jake and Adam head right towards each other. Their respective team members and the referee are trying to keep them separated. Somehow they manage to do so and get everybody to their neutral corners as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! This match is underway and both teams are deciding who is going to start. We see that Adam obviously wants to start this match with Jake, but POTARA is easing Jake out of the ring.
Eve: BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP ADAM FROM RUNNING OVER AND CLOBBERING HOLLY ARROW! Everyone has exited the ring except for the starters and Adam is just pounding the tar out of Holly Arrow.
Xander Payne: That’s what we like to see. Holly getting beat up in the ring. It should be something that she should get used to.
Gavin Kirkland: Turnabout is fair play, I guess. Jake made remarks about Adam’s wife, so Adam starts beating up Jake’s girlfriend. Adam whips Holly to the ropes AND ADAM TAKES HER DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL ARM DRAG!
Eve: Adam Lucas is playing for keeps. He is looking for victory in the fastest way possible. Holly is back to her feet AND ADAM TAKES HER RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK TO THE FACE!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Holly is having trouble getting out of the gate, isn’t she?
Xander Payne: Call that the beginning of her karma and the end will happen when POTARA lose their titles.
Deadprez: That very well could happen as Adam snapmares Holly closer to his corner BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER DROPKICK TO THE SPINE! Adam doesn’t relent as he drags her over to the corner and he tags in Hans Grayson.
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Hans Grayson AND WE SEE A BEAUTIFUL DOUBLE SUPLEX BY ADAM AND HANS TAKING HOLLY BACK DOWN! Hans brings Holly back to her feet AND HANS WITH A QUICK SNAP SUPLEX AND HANS FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWW—
Deadprez: HOLLY KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! It’s still early in the match and we have a long way to go before the match is over.
Xander Payne: Holly just needs to learn to give it up because this is the beginning of the end for POTARA.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: No worries. We’ve got this.
Gavin Kirkland: Holly has been neutralized this entire match as Hans brings her up AND HITS HER WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! GOOD GRIEF! Hans doesn’t hold back AND HITS HER WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Eve: Now Hans whips Holly back to his corner AND SPLASHES HER IN THE CORNER BEFORE TAGGING IN ALEX MYERS!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Alex Myers climbs their way to the top rope as Holly holds on tight! ALEX JUMPS AND THEY HIT HOLLY WITH A CROSSBODY! THEY HOOK THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THH-
Eve: HOLLY KICKS OUT AT TWO! Holly needs to make a tag to get a break, but it isn’t looking good right now as Holly makes it to her knees AND ALEX STARTS KICKING HOLLY IN THE CHEST WITH THOSE YES STYLE STICKS!
Xander Payne: You know that we are living a little vicariously through Alex right now kicking Holly. KICK HER IN THE FACE, ALEX!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Alex is good and we can give them credit, but if Holly is getting dominated by Alex, how can she handle a Hall of Famer in Xander or our tag team skills?
Gavin Kirkland: We will get that answer in a few weeks, but ALEX FIRES ONE MORE KICK AND HOLLY DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! Holly makes it back to her feet and Alex tries to fire a forearm, BUT HOLLY COUNTERS WITH A JAWBREAKER BEFORE GETTING UP AND TAKING ALEX DOWN WITH A RUNNING NECKBREAKER!
Eve: Holly takes a look over to the commentary table and it looks like she has a few words to say to DOMINION!
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) WATCH AND LEARN! THE TITLES ARE STAYING WITH US! GET USED TO IT!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Get back to the match, Holly. Don’t worry about us.
Deadprez: Holly is glaring at DOMINION… WAIT! ALEX MYERS COMES RIGHT UP AND ROLLS UP HOLLY! SCHOOLBOY ROLL UP!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: HOLLY KICKS OUT AT TWO AND SHE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT RIGHT THERE!
Xander Payne: See! That’s what you get for talking trash, Holly. You need to focus on the match instead of talking to us.
Deadprez: Holly quickly rolls back up to her feet AND SHE CATCHES ALEX RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! ALEX MIGHT HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT WITH THAT KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: Holly drags Alex to her corner and now Holly finally is able to make a tag to her tag partner Harper.
(TAG!)
Xander Payne: Whoop de do. Harper’s here.
Eve: Now Harper climbs up to the top and Holly is showing power hoisting Alex on her shoulders BEFORE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! ELECTRIC CHAIR AND CROSSBODY COMBINATION TAKES ALEX DOWN AS HARPER GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRREEEEEEEE—
Deadprez: ALEX MYERS KICKS OUT AT TWO! Harper mounts Alex AND JUST STARTS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHT IN ALEX’S FACE AND THEY ARE BLOCKING AS WELL AS THEY CAN BEFORE THE REFEREE FORCES HARPER TO OPEN UP!
Eve: Harper pulls Alex back to their feet AND SHE CLOCKS THEM WITH THE RED SKULL! WHAT A HEADBUTT BY HARPER AND ALEX STAGGERS THEMSELF TO THE ROPES AFTER THAT SHOT!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Of course it would hurt that much. Harper does have a very hard head.
Xander Payne: I heard that’s the safest place on her body. Might need to put that to the test.
Gavin Kirkland: Alex is still leaning on the ropes AND HARPER CLOTHESLINES THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! ALEX ON THE ROPES NOW! Harper runs full speed towards the far side ropes before coming back as Alex gets back to their feet AND SHE DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!
Eve: Nice move by Harper Lee. Harper grabs Alex and rolls them back into the ring before dragging them to the corner and tagging in the Answers World Champion.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Here comes the Answers World Champion. Jake Smith is finally in the match and he picks Alex up and sits them on the top rope before following suit. Jake has a facelock AND HE WANTS A SUPERPLEX!
Xander Payne: Mr. Holly Arrow is here. Pain for Pride might be a bonding experience for the couple as they both will end up losing their titles.
Gavin Kirkland: Alex is still feeling the effects of the suicide dive from earlier, so there isn’t much of a fight AND JAKE GETS ON THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES ALEX OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SUPERPLEX!
Deadprez: BUT THAT ISN’T IT! JAKE BRINGS THEM BOTH BACK UP AND JAKE SMITH JUST SNAPS ALEX OVER AND TAKES THEM DOWN WITH “BROKEN WNIGS”! WHAT A SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AS HE GOES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS BREAK UP THE PIN AND NOW JAKE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER ARE GLARING AT EACH OTHER!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Jake probably shouldn’t have said the things he said. He might have just sent Adam past his breaking point and that isn’t a good thing. I know that from experience.
Eve: ADAM AND JAKE ARE NOW FIGHTING AND HERE WE GO! THEY ARE BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER YET AGAIN! NOW HOLLY, HARPER, AND HANS ARE IN THE RING AND THINGS HAVE COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN!
Xander Payne: Come on, Eve! It’s EAW! It’s more of a shocker if a tag team match DOESN’T break down.
Deadprez: Right now, it’s a three on two advantage for the Champions as POTARA are double teaming Hans as Jake and Adam are still fighting. The referee has lost all control and they are just going to brawl it out right now.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Nothing new around here!
Eve: Right now Jake has Adam neutralized and he is trying to take him down with a suplex, BUT ADAM IS BLOCKING IT! NOW HOLLY IS HERE AND SHE IS GOING TO HELP HER MAN!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE COMES HANS GRAYSON ON THE OTHER SIDE TO EVEN THE ODDS AND NOW HARPER LEE IS HERE GIVING THE ADVANTAGE BACK TO TEAM CHAMPIONS–
Eve: WHAT THE HECK! ALEX MYERS IS BACK TO THEIR FEET AND WE HAVE A SUPLEX BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! BOTH TEAMS TRYING TO GET THE ADVANTAGE, BUT ADAM AND COMPANY MANAGE TO TAKE THE OTHER TEAM OVER WITH THAT TRIPLE SUPLEX!
Xander Payne: Story of POTARA’s life. As soon as they have it, they lose it. A story that will have a sequel.
Deadprez: Now the referee is starting to get back control of this match as he is forcing everybody but Alex and Jake out of the ring so we can continue the decorum of this match. Alex is still on their feet as they decide to head to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Alex feels at home on the top rope as Jake makes it back to his feet BEFORE ALEX JUMPS AND CATCHES JAKE WITH THE DOUBLE AXE HANDLE, BUT JAKE IS STILL ON HIS FEET!
Deadprez: ALEX STAYS ON THE ATTACK WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW AND JAKE IS STILL ON HIS FEET BUT ALEX FOLLOWS UP WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE AND THAT FINALLY TAKES JAKE DOWN!
Xander Payne: Who knew that Jake and Alex were both the same height. Alex actually managed to kick almost over Jake’s head.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Alex Myers is showing exactly why they have earned their success. We might not see eye to eye but I can recognize how good they are.
Gavin Kirkland: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN AND ARE CRAWLING TO GET INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS! BOTH ALEX AND JAKE ARE INCHING CLOSER AND CLOSER AND JAKE MANAGES TO TAG IN HARPER LEE!
(TAG!)
Eve: Harper Lee is in and she RUNS RIGHT OVER TO THE OPPOSING CORNER AND DROPKICKS BOTH ADAM AND HANS RIGHT OFF THE ARPON TO THE FLOOR!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Harper Lee doing whatever she can to get herself the victory.
Xander Payne: Underhanded tactics from Harper Lee. Nothing new from her. Are they going to get that desperate at Pain for Pride? COME ON HARPER! BE THE FIGHTING CHAMPION YOU ARE!!
Deadprez: HANS AND ADAM ARE TRYING TO GET IN THE RING AND THAT DISTRACTS THE REFEREE! NOW HOLLY IS BACK IN THE RING AS SHE GRABS ALEX AND PULLS THEM INTO THE RIPCORD POSITION!
Eve: HERE COMES HARPER LEE WITH THE RIGHT HOOK AND HOLLY SPINS THEM INTO THE RIPCORD LARIAT! “RED HAWK” BY POTARA AS HOLLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND HARPER HOOKS THE LEG! HARPER IS GOING TO STEAL IT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: ALEX KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE AND POTARA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Harper is a little stunned that Alex was able to survive even with the onslaught but what a match this has been.
Xander Payne: BAHAHAHHAHA! THAT WAS GREAT! THE SHOCK IN HER EYES IS GREAT! I CAN’T BREATHE!!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: I mean Alex has taken as much damage in their career as they have eaten breakfast in their life. They would rather have every bone in their body broken before they lose a match.
Eve: Guys! Look at Harper! I think she might have heard you because she looks angry and she is storming over to the ropes. I might suggest cooling it unless another fight breaks out.
Harper Lee: (off-mic) YOU THINK YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY! IT WON’T BE FUNNY WHEN YOU DON’T GET OUR TITLES AND YOUR TEAM IS DONE FOR! SO SHUT UP!
Deadprez: Harper takes her attention back to Alex. She goes to bring them back to their feet, BUT ALEX WAS PLAYING POSSUM AND THEY CATCH HARPER IN AN INSIDE CRADLE! ALEX MIGHT STEAL IT HERE! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER GETS HER SHOULDER UP RIGHT BEFORE THREE! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE COVER RIGHT THERE! NOW ALEX IS TRYING TO DRAG THEMSELF TO THE CORNER TO MAKE A TAG!
Xander Payne: HA! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR TALKING TRASH!
Deadprez: ALEX IS ABOUT AN INCH AWAY FROM THE TAG BUT HARPER IS DRAGGING THEM BACK FURTHER, BUT ALEX COUNTERS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! HARPER GOES DOWN AND ALEX LEAPS FOR THE CORNER—
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS IS TAGGED IN AND HERE HE GOES! FIRST HE TAKES DOWN HARPER LEE AND NOW JAKE IS BACK IN THE RING AND HE MANAGES TO GET A FEW FOREARMS IN ON ADAM–
Eve: BUT ADAM CLOCKS HIM WITH A RIGHT HOOK AND THAT STAGGERS JAKE BUT HE MANAGES TO CATCH ADAM WITH A RIGHT HOOK OF HIS OWN! BUT HERE COMES HARPER–
Deadprez: ADAM DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY AND HARPER ACCIDENTALLY CAUGHT JAKE IN THE NECK WITH A BICYCLE KNEE! MISCUE BY HARPER AND JAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR!
Xander Payne: This just keeps getting better and better by the second. All they need to do is lose and this match will make my day.
Gavin Kirkland: Harper can’t believe she missed, but she turns around into Adam WHO PICKS UP HARPER AND DROPS HER WITH A SHATTERING SPINEBUSTER! HARPER ALMOST DRIVEN THROUGH THE CANVAS!
Eve: Adam is satisfied with what he has done and he walks over to the corner and he tags in Hans Grayson!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Hans Grayson is back in this match and he goes right after Harper Lee. Harper is trying to get back to her feet AND HANS GRAYSON WITH A BEAUTIFUL HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Impressive move there. Harper Lee might have been knocked a little loopy there.
Eve: Harper manages to stay on her feet after that kick. She is on dream street at the moment but she manages to stumble into her corner and Holly Arrow tags herself back into the match!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Holly Arrow back in the match and she runs full speed towards Hans Grayson AND SHE GETS A JUMPING KNEE RIGHT TO THE JAW! HOLLY STUMBLES AND FALLS INTO THE ROPES TO KEEP HER BALANCE!
Deadprez: HANS GRABS HOLLY AND HOISTS HER UP IN THE AIR! HANS IS TRYING TO PLANT HOLLY WITH THAT SAITO SUPLEX OF HIS–
Gavin Kirkland: HOLLY GETS FREE FROM THE SUPLEX AND TURNS HANS AROUND BEFORE KICKING HIM IN THE GUT! SHE GRABS HIS HEAD AND HOOKS HIS LEG BEFORE SPINNING OUT AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER
Eve: HANS WAS TAKEN DOWN WITH THAT FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER! HARPER LEE IS COMING BACK IN THE RING PROBABLY FOR A DOUBLE TEAM MANEUVER–
Xander Payne: Is she still feeling freaking loopy or what. Why is she doing that? Her team is winning and she might be screwing everything up.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: If they make any mistakes like that, it could cost them everything. It’s not being mean. It’s just the truth of the matter.
Deadprez: HERE COMES ALEX MYERS AND THEY INTERCEPT HARPER TRYING TO COME INTO THE RING NOW THOSE TWO ARE FIGHTING ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON WHILE JAKE AND ADAM ARE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THE TAG!
Eve: HOLLY TURNS AND SHE GETS HIT RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE “FLAMING PUNCH”! SUPERMAN PUNCH RIGHT ON THE MONEY AND HOLLY MIGHT BE KNOCKED OUT COLD! HANS LOOKS TO GO FOR THE COVER–
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Jake Smith to intercept , BUT ADAM LUCAS WITH A SPEAR TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN AND THERE THEY GO! ADAM AND JAKE FIGHTING AGAIN AND THEY ROLL THEMSELVES RIGHT OUT OF THE RING! Alex and Harper are still battling it out on the other side of the ring.
Eve: Holly is still down after that Superman Punch and Hans decides it’s time to end this match. Hans exits the ring and gets on the apron. He punches his fist in the air and we all know what that means.
Xander Payne: That’s right! Finish POTARA off and have them lose the match. Just make sure to leave some for us so we can take their Tag Titles from them.
Deadprez: Holly has made it back to her feet and Hans starts to get the jump ready for his “Burning Shot Lariat”. If it hits, this match is over. HOLLY HAS NO CLUE IT’S COMING AND HERE GO HANS! HOLD ON! WAIT A SECOND! WHO THE HECK IS THAT!
(The camera shows a figure wearing a dark gray hoodie and as they run in, the hood falls revealing the mystery person.)
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S CAROLINE! THAT’S THE NEW BREED CHAMPION! SHE JUST JUMPED ON THE APRON AND CLOCKED HANS GRAYSON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE BELT! SHE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! HANS WAS STRUCK MID JUMP AND HE CRASHES AND BURNS ONTO THE MAT!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HECK IS CAROLINE EVEN DOING HERE? SHE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR SHOWDOWN AND NOW SHE’S COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND JUST STRUCK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!
Xander Payne: What a back fighter. Don’t you just hate it when someone takes offense to a challenge for their championship? A little on the petty side if you ask me.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, if Caroline wanted to make her intentions clear, she certainly did with that title shot to the back of the head. Just like a beautiful thief in the night, she disappears as quickly as she arrives.
Eve: The referee saw none of it because they were trying to break up the altercation outside the ring between Adam and Jake so they were completely oblivious to what happened. Now
Deadprez: RIGHT INTO “SKILL ISSUE”! FLAPJACK AND FACEBREAKER COMBINATION BY POTARA AND POOR HANS IS DOWN AND HE HAS GOT TO BE OUT COLD! HOLLY ROLLS HANS OVER AS HARPER TACKLES ALEX DOWN TO KEEP THEM AT BAY! HOLLY HOOKS THE LEG! POTARA AND JAKE ARE GONNA STEAL THIS MATCH THANKS TO CAROLINE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Tot Musica‘ by Ado starts playing as Holly rolls off of Hans as Gina Romano gets ready to announce the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners! The team of THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, JAKE SMITH AND THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, POTARA!!
Deadprez: What a great match this was to watch. A great main event between these two teams. It was unfortunate to see Caroline sneak in and cause Hans to lose the fall in this match. The New Breed Champion is trying to make a statement, but it caused a small damper on this amazing match.
(The referee hands POTARA their Tag Team Championships before raising Holly and Harper’s arms in victory. Jake doesn’t get his arm raised because he is still on the outside brawling with Adam.)
Gavin Kirkland: As we can see, Adam and Jake are still fighting on the outside and now security and more officials have come out to break these two up yet again. This is going to be a heck of a fight. Just come on let them fight!!
Deadprez: Those two want to get at each other in the very worst way possible. When these two meet in three weeks with the Answers World Championship on the line, this is going to be as hard hitting as we’ll get out. Ryan. Xander. Thank you for your time on commentary. Hope you have you again sometime.
Xander Payne: Thank you.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Our pleasure.
(After Deadprez finishes, Xander and Ryan take off their headsets and leave the commentary table before they head right to the ring and lock eyes with a celebrating POTARA. In the background, Alex Myers is helping Hans Grayson out of the ring so the ref can check on Hans. After a second of celebration, POTARA’s attention is now on DOMINION.)
Eve: This has been a very interesting main event to say the least. Jake and Adam are still trying to be separated at ringside. Caroline costs Hans a match and now these two teams are locking eyes. Big implications for DOMINION at Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right. They either win the titles or Ryan is not coming back to Showdown which means that DOMINION is done.
(After a moment of looking at each other, POTARA raise their Unified Tag Team Titles in the air for DOMINION to see.)
Deadprez: Will this be the sight we will see at Pain for Pride or will we see new Unified Tag Team Champions be crowned? We will find out in three weeks at Pain for Pride, but for right now we offer our congratulations to POTARA and Jake Smith for the hard fought victory tonight on Showdown and we will be right back with more Showdown action after this.
(The final shot shows POTARA and DOMINION still locking eyes on each other. POTARA hold their titles in the air as DOMINION looks on from the ringside floor as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(As the commercial fades back from the last commercial break, “Her” by Megan The Stallion is playing to a chorus of boos after what Kennedy Street did earlier in the night costing Ms. Extreme a match with Drake Armstrong in what many considered an upset, but everyone knows that Kennedy gifted that to Drake. She is in the ring in tight black pants and boots, a noticeable limp from the bite on her foot last week. She has on a red halter top, her blonde hair flowing with mic in hand, she does have a contract in hand.)
Kennedy Street: Cut the music. First off thank you so much Auburn for that warm Kennie reception!
(The crowd is deafening in boos now as Kennedy just smiles and waves.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie knows that you love her. Anyway, lets get down to business. Ms. Extreme is not here. She was taken to a local medical facility earlier thanks to her egregious bump that she took earlier with Drake Armstrong who is also hurt, thinking about you honey. Okay, so while she is not here to sign this contract, let me make one thing perfectly clear. This match at Pain for Pride is NOT happening. While I am one of the best female wrestlers to ever grace the ring, I am not only not obligated to compete as the General Manager, but I also am hurt, thanks to Ms. Extreme biting my beautiful tootsie and breaking the skin, I had to get rabies shots and had an allergic reaction to her toxic saliva. Honey, it was bad, my foot looked like it was mauled by a Possum or a Raccoon, it was absolutely horrible.
(Kennedy starts to sob as the crowd just continues to boo louder.)
Gavin Kirkland: I need to go make it better.
Eve: Gavin…. I always knew you had a foot fetish.
Gavin Kirkland: No… I just have a fetish for beautiful women.
Deadprez: Shut up dawg.
(The camera focuses back on Kennedy Street.)
Kennedy Street: And honestly, I don’t want to embarrass Camille after what happened with Drake Armstrong earlier, she was outclassed and Kennie did what she could to stop it, needing to stop that match before anyone else was hurt. Now, since Camille did take out most of my supporting staff, there leaves me no other choice because if Kennie does get hurt, who is going to run Showdown? Not Me and with a new season starting that will not work. So, this match and contract are null and void, it was never agreed upon me, Pandora Paisley decided to take it upon herself to make the stip. Again… thank you for coming here tonight even if it is stinky Alabama, really hate this state…. And have a good night!
(As the boos rain on Kennedy, she is about to leave the ring when suddenly…. “They Call Me a God” by NEFEX starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd then erupts in cheers as Kennedy was half way out of the ring and turns to look on in horror. She starts to back up as Ms. Extreme runs to the ring gingerly and slides in.)
Deadprez: KENNEDY STREET STARTS STOMPING ON MS. EXTREME! SHE IS STOMPING ON HER AS MS. EXTREME CAN’T GET UP! KENNEDY RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A MAFIA KICK, NO! MS. EXTREME TACKLES HER DOWN AND SHE STARTS POUNDING ON KENNEDY STREET! MS. EXTREME IS RELENTLESS AND KENNEDY IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE RING AND CAMILLE PULLE HER BACK IN!
Eve: SHE PICKS UP KENNEDY BY THE HAIR AND HIP TOSS BY THE HAIR! SHE HIP TOSSES HER AGAIN AS SHE FALLS OVER! KENNEDY GETS UP AND MS. EXTREME WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! KENNEDY IS DOWN AND CAMILLE PICKS UP THE CONTRACT AND PLACES THE CONTRACT ON THE CHEST OF KENNEDY!
(Ms. Extreme straddles her and holds the pen up, she then screams in her face.)
Ms. Extreme: YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU SIGN THE DAMN CONTRACT! NO MORE RUNING! NO MORE SCREWING ME AROUND! NO MORE OF THESE GAMES! I’M GOING TO SIGN MY NAME AND THEN IF I MUST I WILL SIGN IT IN YOUR BLOOD!
(Ms. Extreme signs the contract and then….)
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOO! MS. EXTREME JUST STABBED KENNEDY IN THE CHEST WITH THE PEN AFTER SHE SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND KENNEDY IS SCREAMING! SOMEBODY HELP OUR GENERAL MANAGER!
Ms. Extreme: SIGN IT!
Kennedy Street: NO!
Ms. Extreme: SIGN IT!!!
(Kennedy is screaming in pain as Ms. Extreme yanks the pen out of her chest, the pen is covered in her blood and she turns Kennedy over, placing her in the Ava Lock. Kennedy screams as the contract is in front of her.)
Ms. Extreme: SIGN IT!!!!
(Kennedy continues to scream, she grabs the pen and is ready to sign it when…..)
Deadprez: SOMEONE STARTS STOMPING ON MS. EXTREME! SHE LET’S GO OF THE HOLD AND THEY LIFT HER UP……. FIST OF FURY! IT’S IMPACT AND HE JUST SAVED KENNEDY STREET! HE JUST SAVED KENNEDY STREET!
(Impact stands over a knocked out Ms. Extreme, where he actually had brass knuckles on his hand. He then picks up the contract with the bloody pen……)
Eve: IMPACT SIGNS THE CONTRACT INSTEAD AND THROWS IT ON MS. EXTREME! HE JUST TOSSED THE CONTRACT ON HER CHEST AS KENNEDY IN PAIN HOLDS HER CHEST, BARELY ABLE TO STAND BUT IMPACT HOLDS HER UP.
(Kennedy is breathing heavy, hurting but she screams into the camera.)
Kennedy Street: I TOLD YOU THAT CONTRACT….. WAS NULL AND VOID! YOU MADE AN AGREEMENT IN AN UNSANCTIONED MATCH WHICH MEANS THE STIPULATION WAS NEVER LEGAL OR RECOGNIZED BY THE EAW! BUT YOU DIDN’T THE FINE PRINT OF THAT CONTRACT BITCH! THAT KENNIE CAN PICK ANYONE TO FACE YOU! SO HERE HE IS….. AND AT PAIN FOR PRIDE IT WILL BE IMPACT VERSUS MS. EXTREME!
(Kennedy throws the mic as “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi as the crowd continues to boo. A wicked smile comes across the face of Kennedy Street as she raises the arm of Impact who cracks a smile.)
Gavin Kirkland: DID….. WE JUST SEE THAT!?!?!
Eve: I… I can’t believe this!
Deadprez: Impact versus Ms. Extreme at Pain For Pride will be a war!
(The final scene shows a hurt and bleeding Kennedy holding up Impacts arm as they stand over Ms. Extreme with the contract on her chest.)
