Mikaela Street
(The Showdown feed begins as it has Adam Lucas storms down the corridors, his head turning left and right, and he looks inside locker rooms, not caring who is in them or what they might be doing. One of the maintenance staff turns around a corner, almost barging into Adam, and before the guy can apologize, Adam grabs him by the collar and slams him into the wall.)
Adam Lucas: Where is she?
(The guy is stunned into silence, not knowing what Adam is talking about.)
Adam Lucas: I swear, you hold out on me, and I’ll tear your head off your shoulders.
Staff Member: I don’t know… I promise.
Adam Lucas: If I find out…
(He sees someone official walking down the corridor towards them, and he releases the guy, instead training his eyes on the official. He takes one look at Adam, and then turns on his heels, but Adam grabs him by the back of his jacket.)
Adam Lucas: Not so fast fella… I have questions.
Official: I don’t know the answers, Adam.
Adam Lucas: You don’t know the question yet, so how do you know?
Official: I’m lower management, I don’t get to know anything. I do know you though and what you did last week.
Adam Lucas: So… you know what happens then to those that hold out on me. Where is my wife!?
Official: I swear I don’t know Adam. I’m not the person you should be talking to.
Adam Lucas: Jesus…
(Adam pushes the man away, who stumbles and falls to the ground, Adam not even looking back. He turns another corner, scanning the area, fixing on another official who seems a little more brazen than the other.)
Adam Lucas: YOU. A word please.
Official 2: Of course, Adam, what can I do for you?
Adam Lucas: You know damn well… hold on, weren’t you the guy I locked in the choke last week?
Official 2: Indeed I am.
Adam Lucas: Then you know that I’m not someone to be messed with.
Official 2: I know what if you put your hands on me again, Kennedy Street has given her a personal promise that she will fire you on the spot.
Adam Lucas: Did she now? That’s good to know. It might be good for YOU to know, that quite frankly, the way I feel about this place right now, I don’t give a shit. Now, I know she is here, so why don’t you point me in the right direction?
Official 2: Your wife’s locker room is just down there on the right. You can’t miss it. But I must tell you Adam, you won’t get to see her.
Adam Lucas: Yeah. Well, we shall see about that.
(Adam walks down the corridor and before long comes across the door he had been looking for, the camera focusing with Bethany’s name on it.)
Adam Lucas: At last-
(Adam takes a deep breath, and opens the door, but is immediately met by a wall of security that immediately pours out of the room and forms a wall.)
Adam Lucas: Just four of you? After last week? I’m insulted guys.
(Adam looks at the badge of one of the guards, stepping up to him.)
Adam Lucas: So, Karl… are you going to let me in, or do I have to take out your entire team? Again.
Karl: Adam, I would advise that you stand down.
Adam Lucas: Well, I thank you for the constructive feedback, but I don’t think I’ll be doing that.
Karl: I’m under pain of death to not let you through.
Adam Lucas: And like I said last week… I don’t care. I know she’s in there, and I demand to see my wife.
(Adam lunges forwards, and is grabbed by two of the guards, and for a moment looks like he is going to get in, but then another wall of guard’s steps out bringing the number to eight. Adam backs off a little, surveying the numbers.)
Adam Lucas: That’s more like it… now we have a party.
(He swings a right, and then pushes through, but the numbers are just way too much for him. Soon he is engulfed by the mass, who push him back, four of them holding him against the wall as Karl stands in front of him.)
Adam Lucas: I just want to see my wife dammit. Karl… throw me a bone here.
Karl: I can’t Adam, I have my orders.
Adam Lucas: By who? This place is a mess, can’t you see what they are doing to me?
(Someone steps out of the locker room and stands beside Karl.)
Alana Starr: This really isn’t GOOD behavior Adam. Not GOOD at all.
(Adam shakes his head.)
Adam Lucas: Should have known Kennedy’s lapdog wouldn’t be far away.
Alana Starr: You’re not helping your situation, Adam. You do realize that don’t you?
Adam Lucas: No, YOU are not helping my situation. You are stopping me from sorting this out with my wife.
Alana Starr: Get him out of here.
Adam Lucas: Alana… please.
Alana Starr: It’s for the best Adam, you can’t be trusted in this current mental state. Find a secluded room, lock him in there and only let him out when it is time for the main event and not until. Adam, don’t be a biscuit and do as you are told.
Adam Lucas: Alana, this isn’t right.
Alana Starr: Take him.
(Adam lowers his head as he is forced down the corridor. Alana turns to Karl.)
Alana Starr: Four men on that door always. Clear?
Karl: Clear
Alana Starr: GOOD
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s Showdown. Adam Lucas comes out, demanding and shouting for Bethany to come out and explain herself what she has done, basically taking the show hostage as he attacks security guards and even a few officials, with Kennedy coming out and trying to talk him out, but Adam does not budge, and so she sends out police officers to go after him and Adam is forced to leave the ring and get out of there. KASAI defeats Madison Kaline after Auburn prevents Madison from cheating, and Auburn lays Madison out after the match. But after the match, Usagi Senshi attacks KASAI when she is leaving the arena, going on a crazy brawl before ending up laid out somewhere in the outskirts. Princess Candice Blair comes out to talk about CITV with Mikaela, but she takes time away from ARIA as she is forced to come out complaining, the two of them go on a heated back and forth before out of nowhere, ARIA attacks Candice with a bat and lays her out, sending a message. There is a 24/7 Preview Battle Royale Match that is won by Hardcore Luna. Solomon Stane holds a mass for what he is about to do to Caroline but on the inside of a coffin, Caroline pops out and she cleans house, with Solomon succesfully getting away. Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel defeat Scott Diamond and Kirk Redwood after Terry makes his presence known, attacking the two men before they are split apart by security guards. And after the match, the Jaded Hearts appear as well to finally officially accept Pandora and Halsey’s challenge for the Unified Tag Team Championships, but out of nowhere, Alex and Ruler arrive to ask for one more opportunity, for one more chance, and luckily, the Jaded Hearts accept and let them enter the match. TLA defeats Jon Kelton. Kelton arrives backstage, frustrated but still determined as Daryl appears to finally explain to him what the stipulation of their match is going to be, basically as pure as a wrestling match could be with the two of them saying some ugly words at the end. A contract signing is hosted between Raven, Miku and Veena, Veena being insulted about now having to fight the two of them, Miku tired of the shenanigans, and Raven being angry as well, but all of them determined to be the winner, as after Veena lays out Miku but Raven gets the upperhand and she takes down Veena too. And in the main event, Ms. Extreme defeats Daryl Kinkade after various interference attempts and Kelton prevents Daryl from cheating. TLA enters to give congrats to Camille before out of nowhere, she takes TLA with his guard down and lays him out as Ms. Extreme stands tall to end the show.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside ofThe Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators who were pretty confused and surprised after what ended up happening before the show started.)
Eve: Uh… welcome everyone to Saturday Night Showdown! We are very sorry about what happened right now!
Deadprez: Yes, Adam Lucas was on a complete rampage backstage trying to look around for Bethany, and security had to drag him out to a secluded room over in the building and keep him there until the main event, making us waste some time for the broadcast so we are sorry about that.
Gavin Kirkland: Give us more time for graps though! MILF GRAPS! Let us get straight into Madison Kaline vs Nikki Kimura!
( The camera pans to ringside where the usual trio of Eve, Deadprez, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting… But they have a guest in Auburn Ware!)
Eve: Welcome to ringside, Auburn! Once again you’re out here with us for another match of Madison Kaline and I just wanna know why-
Gavin Kirkland: Are you gonna screw her over again?!
Auburn Ware: Haha, no. Madison demanded that I be out here tonight, so who am I to say no to that?! I’m not gonna do anything but watch just like you guys…
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Vroom’ by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price begins playing as Nikki Kimura emerges from the back, tagging multiple fans on her way to the ring. She has a focused expression on her face, ready to get back on track. )
Gina Romano: Introducing first, from West Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 120 pounds, “THE ANCHOR” NIIKKKKIIII KIIMMMUURRRAAAAA!
( ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears is next to sound, as Madison Kaline walks out, still pissed off from the results of last week. She stares daggers at Kimura in the ring, and circles around the ring to have a staredown with Auburn. She hops onto the apron and climbs the top rope, posing before dropping to the mat. )
Gina Romano: Her opponent, from Tampa Bay, Florida, weighing in at 120 pounds, “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADDIISSOOONNN KKAALLIINNNEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Eve: Here we go- OH! MADISON COMES RIGHT OUT THE GATE, SLAMMING NIKKI INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND BEATING ONTO HER WITH FURIOUS PUNCHES!
Deadprez: Aw man! She came in here with a vengeance! But Nikki shoves her off and starts throwing heavy kicks! To the legs and to the side! Madison is going to have to fight hard to try and get her off of her!
Gavin Kirkland: But Madison knees her in the thigh! Slaps her! And then she follows up with a clothesline– Nikki ducks under for a german suplex attempt, but Madison armdrags her over her shoulder!
Eve: Nikki quickly rises and Madison floors her with a dropkick! Madison then follows up, mounting Nikki and beating into her with some furious punches. She’s getting the hell beaten out of her and Nikki tries her best to get her off, but Madison refuses to relent! She grabs her hair and starts slamming her head into the canvas!
Deadprez: This is absolutely brutal! It’s not very often we see this out of Madison! She’s willing to do whatever it takes for this victory, and I wonder why…
Auburn Ware: Well I’m sure it has nothing to do with my involvement last week! I just think Madison doesn’t want to let anyone down this week, including herself!
Gavin Kirkland: Harsh words, but Nikki finally gets Madison off! She’s nursing her head in pain, and as she uses the ropes, MADISON DROPKICKS HER HEAD INTO THE ROPES!
Deadprez: But she refuses to go for a cover! Madison yanks her up and takes the head. She hoists her up for a beautiful vertical suplex! Nikki is hurting now and the fans aren’t keen on this so far…
Eve: Madison pulls Nikki up. She takes the head with another suplex on her mind, BUT THIS TIME NIKKI FLOATS OVER! ELBOW TO THE BACK! ANOTHER ONE! She turns Madison and irish whips her off! Madison bounces off the ropes as Nikki flies into a lariat!
Auburn Ware: There you go! Put the pressure on her! Madison is coming in aggressive, but I don’t think she can hold that up for the entire match!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison rises and swings for Nikki, who ducks under and takes the waist! SHE TOSSES HER ACROSS THE RING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! WHAT A SLAM! ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS!
Deadprez: That was nasty! Madison rolls to the corner, seated. Nikki rises and hits off the turnbuckles with great hesitation! AND SHE CHARGES INTO A HESITATION DROPKICK! MADISON’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: Nikki pulls Madison out of the corner, full of momentum. She tucks the head into her thighs and lifts her up for a powerbomb– NO! MADISON WITH A HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS NIKKI OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: She falls to the floor, face flat. Nikki holds her mouth in pain and Madison quickly rises up. Madison hits the ropes as Nikki does, and launches herself into a baseball slide dropkick into the barricade! Nikki goes down!
Eve: Wasting no time, Madison rolls out and drags up Nikki. She takes her by the head and turns her around, taking the waist! Is she trying for a back suplex on the apron?!?
Deadprez: BUT NIKKI FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ONTO HER FEET! WHAT ATHLETICISM! Madison turns back and Nikki launches herself off the apron with a FLYING KNEE!
Auburn Ware: Looks like the speed and athleticism is too much for Madison to handle! Keep it up Nikki, you’ve got it without a doubt!
Eve: Nikki drags up Madison and throws her into the ring. Nikki hops up onto the apron and climbs the top rope. She calls Madison up, and she slowly rises up to her feet.. NIKKI LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE TOP INTO A BEAUTIFUL MISSILE DROPKICK! AND WE’VE GOT OUR FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Deadprez: NOPE! MADISON KICKS OUT! Nikki is quick on the attack as she forces Madison up and brings her to the ropes for an irish whip, but Madison counters it! She ducks her head down for a back body drop–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT NIKKI REVERSES WITH A SUNSET FLIP! MADISON ROLLS THROUGH INTO A BOOT TO THE JAW! She drags Nikki up and twists her into a neckbreaker!
Eve: Nikki is hurting bad off of that neckbreaker! She’s clutching her neck in pain, and Madison crawls over and hooks the leg for the cover!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Deadprez: NIKKI KICKS OUT! Madison is frustrated! She looks at the referee, questioning her for a second.
Auburn Ware: Madison knows good and well that wasn’t the end of the match! She’s just being a pain in the ass for the sake of it!
Eve: She focuses back on the match, pulling up Nikki. She leans her in the corner and starts beating into her with repeated forearms in the corner. Nikki covers up. Madison backs up, looking for a corner lariat but SHE DUCKS UNDER! She bounces chest-first into the turnbuckles!
Deadprez: Madison holds her chest in pain. Nikki takes the waist for a german suplex, but she holds onto the top rope! Nikki tries again, but Madison drops down and trips her face first into the middle turnbuckle!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A COLLISION! Nikki holds her mouth and slowly rises, Madison takes the neck, yanking her to the mat! She hits the ropes, LEAPING UP THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A LIONSAULT!
Eve: BUT NIKKI ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Madison just barely lands onto her feet, stumbling backwards. Nikki is up and she charges in! TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER FROM NIKKI! SHE HOLDS ONTO MADISON AND LIPS HER TO HER FEET OFF OF HER KNEE!
Gavin Kirkland: She then tucks her head into her thighs, hoisting her up vertically! POWERBOMB BACKBREAKER! WORKING THE BACK OF MADISON, AND SHE GOES DOWN, WRITHING IN PAIN!
Auburn Ware: There we go! There we go! And look at that, she goes right to the cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
…
…
Deadprez: KICK OUT FROM KALINE! What a match this has been so far! Nikki is a bit frustrated, but she rises to her feet. Nikki steps out and goes to head to the top rope. She position herself, looking for that signature Double Foot Stomp.
Eve: MADISON IS UP AND SHE THROWS HER BODY AT THE ROPES! NIKKI LOSES HER BALANCE AND FALLS ONTO THE POST! Nikki wheezes in pain and Madison climbs up with her. She grabs the hair and starts headbutting her repeatedly!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison takes the head of Nikki and hooks her trunks, she lifts her up vertically… OH MY GOD! DRIVES HER OFF THE TOP WITH A BIG TIME SUPERPLEX! NIKKI HOLDS HER BACK IN PAIN, THE RING MAY HAVE SHOOK A BIT OFF OF THAT!
Auburn Ware: I think Nikki Kimura has enough in her to overcome this! Come on!
Eve: Kimura is out of it and Kaline rolls over, making the cover! The referee slides to the count!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTHHRRR—
Eve: And Kimura finds a way to jolt a shoulder up! Madison looks far from happy about that! She rolls to the ropes, breathing heavily. Nikki is still down, and Madison drags herself up. She calls her up, demanding she rise!
Gavin Kirkland: But I think she’s too hurt to do so! Madison walks over and drags Nikki up. She leans the head down and bounces off the ropes! M.O.– NIKKI WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SHE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! MADISON FALLS ASS FIRST ONTO THE MAT!
Deadprez: She’s holding her spine in pain! Madison rolls over, trying to rise up… AXE KICK FROM NIKKI! SHE GRABS THE ARM AND ROLLS OVER! KIMURA LOCK FROM NIKKI KIMURA!
Auburn Ware: Great transition! She knocked Madison down by the head and then targetted the arm! Impressive showing from Nikki thus far!
Eve: THAT KIMURA IS SYNCHED IN TIGHT! MADISON HAS NOWHERE TO GO! SHE’S PULLING ON THE ARM, AND MADISON IS SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN!
Deadprez: The referee is asking if she wants to give up, but she won’t! She may break her arm off! Nikki keeps pulling and pulling on the arm of Madison! That kimura lock is in tight! Madison waves her hand against the canvas, this COULD be it!
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON FINDS A WAY OUT! SHE PINS NIKKI’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! REFEREE TO THE COVER!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTHHRRR—
Deadprez: NIKKI KICKS OUT AT THE COST OF RELEASING THE SUBMISSION! She rolls over and Madison takes the ropes, waiting for her! ‘M.O.D!’ THE FAMOUSER CONNECTS!
Eve: She just planted her into the canvas! Madison rolls her over and hooks the legs, counting alone!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTHHRRRE–
Gavin Kirkland: NO! SHE KICKS OUT! HOW CLOSE THAT WAS?! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR EITHER OF THESE WOMEN TO GO DOWN TONIGHT!
Auburn Ware: Everyone wants momentum going into Pain For Pride! I love how this is going so far!
Eve: Madison takes the ropes, groaning. She drags Nikki to the drop zone. Madison climbs the top rope and I think she has the ‘MADDIE BOMB’ IN MIND!
Deadprez: BUT NIKKI FINDS A WAY UP! SHE SWEEPS MADISON’S LEGS FROM UNDER HER! MADISON GETS HER LEGS TRAPPED AROUND THE TOP ROPE IN A TREE OF WOE!
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki is throwing nasty roundhouse kicks to the chest! Madison is trapped there and can’t get free! She covers up to the best of her ability but she is getting battered heavily!
Deadprez: Now Nikki exit the ring and climbs the top rope, while Madison is trying to pull her body up– I don’t think she realizes that she’s setting herself up…
Eve: AND NIKKI JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE, ‘DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!’ SHE DRIVES HER FEET INTO THE CHEST OF MADISON WHILE SHE’S ATTACHED TO THE ROPES AND MADISON’S HEAD SMASHES INTO THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF IT! NIKKI ROLLS MADISON OVER AND HOOKS THE LEGS!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTHHRRRE–
Deadprez: MADISON GETS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! HOW DID SHE PULL THAT OFF?!
Auburn Ware: Hate to say it but that’s all veteran instincts there! Looks like the Madison Kaline of old is still in there somewhere!
Eve: Nikki can’t believe it. But she keeps going. She drags Madison up and takes the arms, kicking her to a knee. She winds back, LOOKING FOR THE KAMIGOYE–
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON FREES HER ARMS AT THE LAST SECOND AND SCOOPS NIKKI UP! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Nikki holds her back in pain! Madison stumbles up, clutching at the head.
Eve: She falls into the corner, taking the ropes to pull herself up… Madison extends her arms out, struggling to stand on her two feet on the top rope… BUT SHE LAUNCHES OFF INTO THE ‘MADDIE BOMB!’ MOONSAULT CONNECTS! MADISON HOLDS HER RIBS, AS DOES NIKKI!
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki rolls over, kicking her legs against the canvas. That may have knocked all of the wind out of her! Madison takes the ropes, using them to rise. She takes Nikki up by the hair–
Eve: However, Nikki shoves her off! Nikki holds her ribs, coughing out on the mat. She doesn’t want to quit just like that! But Nikki can barely hit the ropes!
Deadprez: MADISON SMILES AT HER DEFIANCE AND HITS THE ROPES! NIKKI RISES AND PUTS HER DUKES UP– ‘AFTERLIFE!’ THE CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS! NIKKI IS DOWN, AND MADISON COVERS HER!
Auburn Ware: Damn it…
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTHHRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: Here is your winner of this match via pinfall, MADDIISOONNN KKAALLLINNNEEEE!
( Madison rises off of Nikki, grinning to get a hard-fought victory. Auburn stands up out of her chair while Madison smirks. It looks like Auburn is going to do leave, but Madison calls for a mic and cuts her off. )
Madison Kaline: Stay right where you are, Auburn… I’m glad that you made the right move and didn’t get involved in my match tonight. We both know you wouldn’t like that, right?
( Auburn frowns, not really feeling threatened by Madison. )
Madison Kaline: In regards to our match at Pain For Pride… Auburn I don’t plan on just embarrassing you, I plan on DEFEATING you. But the idea of losing to you doesn’t sit right with me. The fact is, I need to step it up.
( There’s a sea of confusion amongst the crowd when she says that. )
Madison Kaline: To be honest. I don’t want to be a “gatekeeper”. I want to get to my best ability, and I want to shine here in EAW. And if I can’t do that? I have no purpose remaining in this company.
( Auburn raises an eyebrow, starting to get closer to the ring. She climbs the apron… )
Madison Kaline: So if it wasn’t obvious already? Auburn Ware? If I cannot defeat you at Pain For Pride. I WILL RETIRE!
( There’s a pop from crowd, as they gasp and are both very interested all at the same time! Auburn enters the ring and Madison puts the microphone down as both women stare down.)
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) You’re on.
Eve: WOW! WHAT A BOMBSHELL OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT! IF MADISON KALINE LOSES TO AUBURN WARE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE, SHE WILL RETIRE!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a huge stipulation! But after the performance from Madison tonight, I expect her to be at her very best!
Deadprez: Man! I dunno if that was a good idea! I mean, Auburn is on the rise, and Madison is great herself… But now it adds a whole new level of pressure on the biggest stage of them all!
( Auburn walks past Madison and leaves the ring, allowing her to “celebrate” her victory. But as she leaves, Madison has a lot to think about as she now lives with the words that she made as the scene fades backstage.. )
(The scene pans to Kyra Phillips backstage as she has a smile on her face..)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome–
(Suddenly an angered and disgruntled person can be heard, the camera does a single shot cutting its way over to the person, as Kyra follows. We see Daryl Kinkade. He was also standing there with Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley, as they were trying to calm him down, but.. Daryl was still overwhelmed with anger at the events that followed last week. Seeing the cameras were now placed on him, he spoke.)
Daryl Kinkade: Last week wasn’t just annoying, but it was a tragedy. I have been this unfulfilling representative of tragedy, and that is by the fault of the people that have problems with me. I know that I can latch on and achieve so much more in this game, but the players that chase behind me try to slow me down. I have been so close to monumental moments, game shifting ones. But something always has to rivet its bloody head on occasion. To be honest with yourselves, why are we still in the year of 2024, putting up with Jon Kelton? When he has been this glaring epitome of mediocre for some peoples entire High School life. It’s pathetic how he couldn’t get the job done against TLA, and he had to stick his nose in business I didn’t find necessary. You were the one who chose the sloppy performance, and then you skyrocket yourself at the pinnacle of jealousy and bliss, welcome to reality Jon Kelton. Things aren’t always going to be that good. I am sick of being in a rotating circle. But with great luck and fortune, all of that slips to its end at Pain For Pride. I’ll never have too, much less need, to sit through a Jon Kelton monologue again. And my career can ascend to the heights I felt it needed long ago.
(Daryl Kinkade said as he looked ahead frustrated. Kyra Phillips heard all of that as well.)
Kyra Phillips: Daryl, do you mind me asking you a couple questions?
Daryl Kinkade: Go ahead, bruv ask away. I have a lot of answers to get off my chest anyways. I could tell you 100 different things, do you want to hear my opinion on Jon for the 100th time? Because truthfully, I have 100 different things to say about Kelton. And I could sit here and cycle through them all.
Kyra Phillips: Well, that might be the case but, I wanted to ask that despite everything that has occured, heading into the biggest show of the year in your match with Jon Kelton, do you believe that with the added stipulation, you have the advantage?
Daryl Kinkade: Of course I do bruv, Jon Kelton is a simplistic oath, who is gonna need to dig deeper into a bag of tricks he hasn’t touched in a decade, in order to defeat me. But that same passion and required energy cannot peer anymore, because he doesn’t have that energy that others like me have. First come, first serve. I have the advantage, and I have ALWAYS had the advantage against Jon Kelton. This is just going on for way too long, and it has to come to its culmination. Of course I have the advantage, bruv, this is the easiest thing I can say right now. He is going to learn, and when he watches another Pain For Pride come and go, and he watches another season of his career culminate. The question that weighs in will be, “what did I do wrong?”. He is going to find out much akin to Rex McAllister and how he found out. Is that a good enough answer? I didn’t stretch it out or beat around the bush like Jon would have, he is at a clear disadvantage. Nothing more, nothing less.
(Daryl said, as Pandora and Halsey stood there nodding their heads at all he had to say. Daryl blew out a whoosh of air.)
Kyra Phillips: Very well, thank you for answering that question, but is there anything more that you would like to say about Jon Kelton?
Daryl Kinkade: There isn’t much that I can’t already say, and there isn’t much that he isn’t already in the entire know of. He knows my disdain for me, but at this point, I don’t know if it is even at the scale of hatred. I just am numb at the idea of facing Jon Kelton, but I insist because this is the time of getting him off my shoulder. A time to move on, dedicating all this time to him has done nothing for my career. While he wishes to latch on and cling to anything special. I know what Jon Kelton is gonna do. He is gonna sit from wherever he is sitting right now, he is gonna listen to all this hit on his ego, and he isn’t going to show that. He is going to mimic me in the most flattering form of poetry. He is going to try and be me, talk about how this has dragged on way too long, but for the most part he has been responsible for the dragging, bruv. I know that you think that morally you have some sort of up against me, spiritually you can just say something that’ll uplift you in a more grander circumstance, but you are in the worst situation to possibly be in here, and all that is going to result in is another what if? for Jon Kelton..I have the full and total advantage going into this, and don’t gaslight yourself into thinking anything else. The only thing that is going to rain on you is another year of failed expectation.
(Storming off now was Daryl Kinkade after delivering fiery and passionate words. The rest of The British Invasion followed him along as well, as the final shot before Showdown went to commercial was Kyra Phillips looking on.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing and ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is a special 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL PREVIEW MATCH WITH A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Hard Out Here for a Pimp” by Three 6 Mafia, Paula Campbell starts playing as Damien Kutcher enters the arena. He is ready for action as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From Nashville, Tennessee! Weighing in at 240 pounds! Here is “MR. HUSTLE AND FLOW” DAMIEN KUTCHER!
Deadprez: Here comes the upstart Damien Kutcher as he heads to the ring for this special 24/7 Battle Royal Preview match. This is a perfect chance for Damien to get back on track.
Gavin Kirkland: Two weeks ago, Damien wasn’t able to qualify for Cash in the Vault and last week, he was the first eliminated from the battle royal preview.
Eve: All it takes is one win to get the momentum started up again. He can certainly get the job done in this match, but his opponent is no pushover.
(Damien enters the ring and takes his corner as his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, ‘Bloodline’ by Northlane starts playing as Daniella Atlas enters the arena. She has the same level of determination on her face as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! From Dunkirk, France! Weighing 121 pounds. Here is “THE BLACK FLAME” DANIELLA ATLAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Daniella Atlas. The beautiful Daniella Atlas as she heads to the ring and she is almost in the same boat as Damien in terms of luck.
Eve: Two weeks ago, Daniella lost to Auburn Ware for the chance to wrestle Madison Kaline at Pain for Pride. Last week, she had an amazing performance in the battle royal last week, but unfortunately, she was the final elimination to the eventual victor Hardcore Luna.
Deadprez: Daniella has been close, but Daniella is not going to settle for close. Tonight, she is looking to get back to her winning ways in this match? Who will leave victorious? We’re about to find out.
(Daniella enters the ring and takes her respective corner as her entrance music fades off. The referee then checks both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This special preview match is underway and two of Showdown’s rising stars are battling it out for a little momentum towards Pain for Pride. What do you think these two need to do in order to pull out the victory?
Deadprez: Damien needs to use his size to his advantage considering he is double Daniella’s weight. Daniella needs to stay out of Damien’s grasp and use those kicks that she is getting known for.
Gavin Kirkland: Damien looks ready to lock up in the center of the ring and that would be a mistake on Daniella’s part if she even tried it. Damien reaches out to lock up with Daniella–
Deadprez: DANIELLA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY FROM DAMIEN! Daniella is behind Damien AND DANIELLA IS FIRING KICK AFTER KICK INTO DAMIEN’S LOWER BACK! Repeated kicks to the back until Damien turns around–
Eve: DAMIEN CAUGHT HER LEG! DANIELLA IS BOUNCING AROUND ON ONE FOOT TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET FREE! Daniella is in a mess of trouble BEFORE SHE TRIES TO AN ENZUIGIRI–
Gavin Kirkland: DAMIEN AVOIDS IT AND HE SENDS DANIELLA CRASHING INTO THE MAT! Atlas is down and Damien is now putting the boots to his opponent! Damien is just stomping her into the mat.
Eve: Daniella is trying to roll away from Damien and she finally does when she makes it to the ropes and the referee forces Damien to back away from the ropes.
Deadprez: Daniella rolls herself out onto the apron to try and catch a breather, but Damien is right there as Atlas makes it back to her feet. Damien with the facelock applied AND DAMIEN LIFTS DANIELLA UP FOR THE SUPLEX–
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA IS KICKING HER LEGS TO TRY AND CHANGE THE MOMENTUM IN HER FAVOR AND SHE FINALLY DOES! Daniella lands on her feet on the apron once more.
Eve: Daniella grabs Damien by the head BEFORE SHE DROPS OFF THE APRON AND DROPS DAMIEN THROAT FIRST OFF THE TOP ROPE! Damien stumbles back away from the ropes as he holds his throat in pain.
Deadprez: Atlas slides back into the ring and delivers a kick to the midsection that doubles Damien over before she starts throwing forearm shots into Damien’s face! Daniella fires a few more shots that send Damien to the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas attempts an Irish Whip but Damien easily overpowers her by reversing the move and sending Atlas to the ropes. Atlas hits the ropes before coming back and Damien grabs her–
Deadprez: DANIELLA WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND DAMIEN’S NECK AND COUNTERS WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER! Damien is taken for the ride as he tries getting back to his feet. Daniella runs in for more offense–
Eve: DAMIEN QUICKLY SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET AND JUST CLOBBERS DANIELLA WITH A STRAIGHT CLOTHESLINE THAT TURNS DANIELLA INSIDE OUT! Damien looks to be out for blood.
Gavin Kirkland: Not blood. He wants to pick up the victory to send his stock back in an upward trend, but I wish that he didn’t have to hit Daniella so hard. She’ll need a massage after that clothesline.
Eve: You stay here and keep your hands above the table where we can see them, you nasty. Damien looks ready to follow up on the clothesline by picking Daniella up AND JUST SLAMMING HER BACK DOWN ON THE MAT!
Deadprez: Now Damien runs to the ropes to pick up some speed. He comes back off the ropes AND HE LEAVES HIS FEET BEFORE HITTING DANIELLA IN THE CHEST WITH THAT JUMPING ELBOW DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: OHHHHHH. Poor Daniella. That looked like a very dangerous elbow drop that was a direct hit to her chest. Something could have caved in.
Eve: Of course you would be emphasizing there. But Damien is leaving his ground attack as he makes his way to the second rope.
Deadprez: Damien looks like he wants to take a gamble. Right now, Damien is watching Daniella get back to her feet. He is laser focused on his opponent.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella is back to her feet and she turns around AS DAMIEN JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND TAKES DANIELLA DOWN WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE!
Deadprez: Another clothesline catches Daniella across the throat and brings her back down to the mat. Damien pulls Daniella away from the ropes and drops down to hook the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWW—
Eve: DANIELLA KICKS OUT AT ONE! Damien quickly mounts Daniella AND HE IS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO THE SKULL OF DANIELLA!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella is blocking as many of the punches as she can, but there are a select few that have connected. The referee has been trying to get Damien to open up the fists, but it was to no avail and the referee starts a count.
Eve: Damien opens up the fists on four to prevent a disqualification on five. Damien stands up and pulls Daniella back to her feet and whips her to the corner.
Deadprez: Daniella hits the turnbuckles AND DAMIEN COMES IN AT FULL SPEED AS HE LEAVES HIS FEET AND DELIVERS A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER! THEN DAMIEN FOLLOWS UP THE CLOTHESLINE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Damien catches Daniella as she starts falling out of the corner. Damien holds her up before lifting her in the air and placing her on the top turnbuckle.
Eve: Damien climbs onto the second rope and applies a facelock. DAMIEN IS TRYING TO LIFT DANIELLA UP AND DROP HER WITH A SUPERPLEX, BUT ATLAS IS BLOCKING IT! Daniella has her feet wrapped up in the ropes!
Deadprez: Damien attempts the superplex again AND DANIELLA ONCE AGAIN BLOCKS THE SUPERPLEX! Daniella starts throwing left hands to try and get Damien to release the facelock–
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA HIT A LEFT HAND TO THE TEMPLE AND THAT CAUSES DAMIEN TO RELEASE THE FACELOCK! Daniella is free and she is able to slide off the top turnbuckle and land on the mat!
Deadprez: DANIELLA IS USING ALL HER POWER AND MIGHT TO PULL DAMIEN OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! Damien is holding onto the top rope with all his might to keep his balance on the rope!
Eve: DANIELLA GRABS THE BACK OF DAMIEN’S TIGHTS TO HELP PULL HIM OFF THE TURNBUCKLE AND IT WORKS AS DAMIEN COMES OFF THE ROPES AND HE IS PLANTED WITH A MODIFIED POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: The back of Damien’s head cracks the mat hard as Daniella stacks up Damien. His shoulders are down and she goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THH-
Eve: DAMIEN KICKS OUT AT TWO! Damien rolled onto his stomach and is getting to his knees as Daniella hits the ropes. Daniella comes back off the ropes AND SHE HITS THE SCORPION KICK TO THE BACK OF THE NECK AS DAMIEN FALLS BACK!
Deadprez: Damien meets the canvas once again. Now Daniella is trying to grab Damien and bring him back to his feet, BUT DAMIEN GETS HIS FOOT UP AND KICKS DANIELLE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: DAMIEN WITH A KIP UP AND HE IS BACK ON HIS FEET! Damien hits the ropes and Daniella goes for a SPINNING HEEL KICK THAT DAMIEN AVOIDS!
Eve: Daniella hits the canvas on her landing and Damien continues on towards the ropes on the other side. Damien once again rebounds off the ropes and he comes back as Daniella is getting back to her feet–
Deadprez: AND SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE! DIRECT HIT WITH “RIGHT THURR” AND THAT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED DANIELLA RIGHT OUT WITH THAT SHOT!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella is down and Damien drops down and rolls Daniella over and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!
Deadprez: DANIELLA KICKS OUT AT TWO! NEAR FALL FOR DAMIEN KUTCHER! It looked like a three count, but Daniella barely got her shoulder off the mat to break the count and this match will continue.
Eve: This has been a great match between these two up and coming competitors here on Showdown!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s because if you want to watch the best action in Elite Answers Wrestling, you tune into SHOWDOWN! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: Energetic as always, Gavin. As we get back to the match, Damien brings Daniella back to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Daniella comes back and Damien hoists her up in the air AS HE IS LOOKING FOR A FLAPJACK–
Deadprez: DANIELLA GRABS DAMIEN’S HEAD AT THE VERY LAST SECONDS AND COUNTERS IT INTO A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT! DAMIEN’S HEAD WAS JUST SPIKED INTO THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Both competitors are down off the DDT. The referee checks on both competitors, but they are left with no choice but to start a count!
(ONE! TWO! THREE!)
Eve: Both competitors are still down in the center of the ring, but they are starting to barely move!
(FOUR! FIVE! SIX!)
Deadprez: Both are still down but they have managed to roll to opposite sides of the ring and try to use the ropes to get themselves back to their feet. What a shame this would be if the match ended in a double countout.
(SEVEN!)
Gavin Kirkland: Looks like a double countout isn’t going to happen right now, Prezzy, as Daniella is the first to make it back to her feet as she heads right to Damien who also manages to make it back to his feet.
Deadprez: Daniella comes in AND FIRES OFF A JUDO STYLE KICK THAT DAMIEN QUICKLY GETS OUT OF THE WAY OF! Damien also has some fancy moves of his own COMES BACK WITH A CAPOEIRA STYLE KICK THAT DANIELLA AVOIDS!
Eve: These two each have their own fancy footwork AND WE HAVE A KICK FIGHT GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! EACH COMPETITOR IS TRYING TO LAND A SHOT ON THE OTHER WITH NEITHER ONE BEING ABLE TO LAND A HIT!
Gavin Kirkland: See! This is why I love Showdown! You won’t see action like this on Dynasty or Showdown! One of these kicks could be a knockout shot and end the match right here.
Eve: These two are still in the middle of a kickfight AND DAMIEN CATCHES DANIELLA IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A SPIN KICK! Daniella looks to be falling, but Damien whips Daniella to the ropes–
Deadprez: DISCUS CLOTHESLINE FROM DAMIEN KUTCHER! “RIDIN’ DIRTY’ BY MR. HUSTLE AND FLOW! DAMIEN MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HER LIGHTS OUT AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA ONCE AGAIN KICKS OUT AT TWO! HOLY CRAP! ANOTHER NEAR FALL FOR DAMIEN KUTCHER, BUT DANIELLA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!
Deadprez: Damien is in shock that this match is still going on, but now is not the time to lose focus on the match. Damien is able to control his temper as he gets himself back in the match.
Eve: Now Damien has something on his mind as he drags Daniella over to the corner before he makes the climb all the way to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Damien normally doesn’t fly, but sometimes, you have to do what you have to do in order to pick up that victory. This is going to be very dangerous, especially since we are about to see a man of Damien Kutcher’s size flying through the air.
Eve: Daniella is still not moving on the mat as Damien has his balance on the top rope! Damien looks down BEFORE HE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AS HE LOOKS FOR A LEG DROP–
Deadprez: DANIELLA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND THERE WAS NOBODY HOME FOR THE LEG DROP! DAMIEN CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE MAT AS HE HAS AN UGLY LANDING BUTT FIRST ON THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the pain on Damien’s face! You don’t need a rocket scientist to see that mistake had to hurt. He certainly didn’t sprain his ankles the way he landed.
Eve: Unfortunately for him, Daniella has made it back to her feet as she climbs up on the second rope. Damien is still holding his keister as he makes it back to his feet–
Deadprez: MISSILE DROPKICK FROM DANIELLA OFF THE SECOND ROPE! DAMIEN WAS TAKEN BACK DOWN AND TURNED INSIDE OUT, BUT DAMIEN FINDS SOME EXTRA ENERGY AS HE IS RIGHT BACK ON HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: He goes right back to Daniella AND HE FIRES OFF A BACKHANDED CHOP THAT LIGHTS UP DANIELLA’S CHEST BEFORE HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!
Deadprez: Damien lifts Daniella up for the suplex, BUT DANIELLA GETS FREE AND LANDS BEHIND DAMIEN! DANIELLA WITH A STRAIGHT KICK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE TAKES DAMIEN DOWN TO HIS KNEES BEFORE SHE HITS THE ROPES!
Eve: Daniella comes off the ropes AND SHE STRIKES DAMIEN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE! DIRECT HIT WITH “LIKE CLOCKWORK” AS DAMIEN FALLS STRAIGHT DOWN ON THE MAT! DANIELLA ROLLS HIM OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: DAMIEN KICKS OUT AT TWO! HE HAD HIS BELL RUNG OFF THE KNEE STRIKE, BUT HE STILL HAD THE AWARENESS TO KICK OUT AT TWO!
Deadprez: These two are throwing everything they have at each other in this match. Neither one is willing to give an inch to the other. Right now, Daniella is the one in control of this match as she gets back on her feet.
Eve: Now Daniella is trying to bring Damien back to his feet in the hopes of finishing the match, BUT DAMIEN GRABS DANIELLA AND PICKS HER UP IN THE AIR BEFORE DAMIEN DROPS HER ON THE ROPES!
Deadprez: Stun Gun sends Daniella throat first into the top rope before she falls down on the mat! Now Damien is backing up towards one of the corners and he looks like he is ready to finish this match once and for all.
Gavin Kirkland: Damien likes to go for “The Dirty South” in this position. If he hits that superkick, that will be all she wrote AND HE IS CALLING FOR DANIELLA TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!
Eve: DANIELLA IS BACK ON HER KNEES AND HERE COMES DAMIEN OUT OF THE CORNER LOOKING FOR THAT FLYING SUPERKICK! “THE DIRTY SOUTH” COULD WIN HIM THE MATCH RIGHT HERE!
Deadprez: DANIELLA DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE FLYING SUPERKICK AND DAMIEN HITS THE MAT! THAT LANDING COULD END UP COSTING HIM AS HE HAS HIS BACK TO ATLAS, WHO IS BACK ON HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: DAMIEN IS GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET AS WELL AND DANIELLA HAS HER EYES LOCKED ON DAMIEN! DAMIEN IS BACK ON HIS FEET AND SHE HAS HER ELBOW READY–
Deadprez: BAM! “BLACK DEATH” BY DANIELLA ATLAS! DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF DAMIEN’S HEAD AND HE LOOKS TO BE OUT COLD! DANIELLA QUICKLY ROLLS DAMIEN OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Bloodline’ starts playing again as Daniella rolls off of Damien. She sits on the mat for a moment to catch her breath as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… DANIELLA ATLAS!
Deadprez: What a great match between two of the rising stars of Showdown. They put their hearts and souls into this match and it really showed.
Eve: Without a doubt. This match could have gone either way, but Daniella was able to pull out the win from out of nowhere.
(Daniella is back to her feet and the referee raises her arm in victoryin victory for a moment before going back to check on Damien. Daniella stays in the ring for a brief moment longer to soak in the win before leaving the ring and heading up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: As happy as I am to see the lovely Daniella win, it sucks to see Damien lose the match. He has been working so hard and he just couldn’t get over the hump he has been experiencing recently.
Eve: Damien has been working hard and if he keeps working the way he does, he will no doubt get that victory in due time. He’s talented and we have faith that he will succeed.
Deadprez: Two of Showdown’s rising stars will no doubt have a good run in the 24/7 Battle Royal in a few weeks, but this match belongs to Daniella Atlas. Congratulations once again to Daniella for the victory here on Showdown.
(The final shot shows Daniella standing at the top of the entrance ramp with a smile on her face before cutting to Damien, who is sitting in the ring with a look of disappointment on his face before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(‘Rise Again’ by Alter Bridge hits over the PA system, a mixed reaction exploding from the crowd.)
Deadprez: It looks like Terry Chambers is about to make an appearance, and you can bet he has plenty to say.
Eve: You say that like it’s something original. Terry ALWAYS has plenty to say.
(The noise level steps up another notch as Terry walks out with microphone in hand and surveys the scene and reaction. With a sneer, he then starts to make his way down the ramp and heads towards the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: I like this newfound attitude since Terry returned. Showdown is a better place for him being drafted across.
Eve: I’m sure there are many that wouldn’t agree with you. He is however a legendary figure that with Viz being out the equation right now, is something Showdown needed.
Deadprez: And he seems intent on making an impact as well, no matter who he takes out in the process. He’s a dangerous individual and there is no questioning that.
(Terry walks around the ring and to the ring steps, pausing on them to egg on the crowd some more. He then takes the final couple of steps, and bends between the strands, his music fading out. Chambers stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, waiting for the noise levels to die down. When they do sufficiently, he lifts the mic to his lips and starts to speak.)
Terry Chambers: Thank you for that warm welcome Showdown, you really do recognize the stature of individual you have before you, don’t you?
(Predictably, he receives a round of boos, which doesn’t delay his narrative in the slightest.)
Terry Chambers: The kind of individual that doesn’t sit around waiting for something to happen. He MAKES something happen, by putting himself well and truly in focus. I mean, there I was, minding my business, when Minerva comes out on Voltage and makes an open challenge. Who was the first person out there to answer the call. That’s right… ME. And now, tomorrow night I get the chance to go out there and put Minerva in her place just seven days shy of Pain for Pride. That’s how you make an impact in this company. You don’t just talk the talk. And let’s face it, you’re all booing me, seeing as somehow you have all forgotten the crap Minerva put this company through. You’re getting up in my grill, even thought she has done things much worse than what I do. You know, a little thing called telling the truth. I’ve already beaten her unconscious and left her a bloody mess once to get a chance to be world champion, and you can be damn sure I’ll do it again. And you know what I’d really enjoy? I’d enjoy it if Kirk Redwood and Scott Diamond hauled their sorry asses over to the yellow brand and watch what I do to a World Champion. Because I swear on my life, Minerva is tough, I know that more than most, so if I can do it to her, imagine what I’d do to them, individuals not even in the same zip code. Everything Terry Chambers does, is done for good-
Voice: You’ve only just gotten started, and I’m bored already
(Terry rolls his eyes and turns towards the rampway, as Kirk Redwood steps out to quite the ovation. He acknowledges that, before heading down to the ring, talking as he does.)
Kirk Redwood: You think a lot of yourself don’t you Terry?
(In the ring Chambers nods.)
Kirk Redwood: Well guess what, I don’t share the same opinion. Don’t get me wrong, you’re a talented guy, you don’t get the accolades you have if that wasn’t the case. But at the current level of Minerva. Nah, I’m not buying that.
Terry Chambers: Thankfully, your opinion means very little to me. Minerva is an amazing competitor, but I can beat her.
Kirk Redwood: And again, this is where we are going to have to agree to disagree. See, I’ve fought Minerva, and she is tougher than granite. I look at you both, and I only see one conclusion, and that’s her whooping your ass. That said, I hope she leaves some for me, because I’m going to whoop it even worse at Pain for Pride.
Terry Chambers: I admire the confidence, however misplaced. I-
Kirk Redwood: SHUT UP!
(Terry’s eyes widen at the interruption, Kirk holding up a single finger.)
Kirk Redwood: You come out here, claiming this and that. Saying you’re going to beat Minerva, and treating me like an afterthought? Bud, let me tell you this right now, you’d better stop acting like this match is some kind of annoyance. As if it is beneath you. I’m never going to accept that. It’s an insult. And-
Voice: I guess my invitation got lost in the post
(Scott Diamond walks out onto the ramp as Kirk stops on the ring steps, just short of entering the ring. Both Kirk and Terry knew who the voice belonged to, and Kirk stepped back down onto the ringside area.)
Scott Diamond: I think everyone is sick of you both spewing crap now, so how’s about I add some sense into the equation huh?
Terry Chambers: Sense? After the season you’ve had Scott? If I were you, I would have stayed in the back.
Scott Diamond: Ah, you see… that’s where you have it all wrong. See, I know my season hasn’t exactly set this place alight, but I’ve always been a threat. It’s no accident that for all the big matches, Scott Diamond has never been far away. I’ve heard from you both, and do you know what I reckon?
Kirk Redwood: I don’t, but I’m guessing I’m about to find out.
Terry Chambers: You’re going to do us all a favor and retire?
Scott Diamond: Nah, you’re not so lucky Terry. No, I reckon that NEITHER of you are ready for this big match on the biggest stage. No, this season hasn’t been great, but a victory at the grandaddy of all wrestling events, and that will be forgotten.
Kirk Redwood: I won’t forget that YOU were the reason that we lost to the British Invasion. You’re not as tough as you think you are.
Terry Chambers: NEITHER of you are.
Scott Diamond: OK, so why don’t I come down to that ring now and prove you both wrong?
Terry Chambers: Like you’ve been proving people wrong all year?
Kirk Redwood: Pot and Kettle Terry?
Scott Diamond: Forget about the past, I’m looking to the future.
Kirk Redwood: And how many times have we heard that?
(The three look at each other, knowing that very soon all questions would be answered. Scott is about to take his leave when Terry lifts the mic once more.)
Terry Chambers: Watch Voltage tomorrow night, and there you will get your answers. The come Pain for Pride, I take my place as the most dangerous man in EAW. And neither of you can do a damn thing about it.
(Terry drops the mic as his music hits, Scott just sneering, before turning and making his way back through the curtain.)
Terry Chambers *Off mic*: You got anything else to say Kirk?
Kirk Redwood: *Off mic*: You’ll keep.
(Kirk then starts backing up the ramp as Terry watches.)
Deadprez: Three men with a chance at Pain for Pride to end the season with a bang. Each of them is adamant that they are going to take it.
Eve: And this is a match that could be too close to call.
Gavin Kirkland: Who cares? Seems like they want to kill each other, so just let them. None of them would be a huge loss… except maybe Terry.
Deadprez: A win at Pain for Pride could be the catalyst to kick off your next season in style. These three individuals know that. We just have to wait and see who takes that chance and runs with it.
(The scene fades to a commercial ad to all the festivities at Pain For Pride. In Orlando.)
(The World is Gonna End Tonight – Dan Romer, Peter Harper plays as Solomon walks out onto the stage to a chorus of boos before he goes down to a knee to pray before making his way down the ring with a dead serious look on his face ready for battle.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM THE CITY OF SIN….WEIGHING IN AT 266 POUNDS….HE IS “YOUR SAVIOR”….SOOOLLLOOOOMOOOONNN STTTAAAANNNNE!!!!!
(‘Marry on a Cross’ by Ghost plays as Hardcore Luna comes out to a mixed crowd. She pays no attention to any of it though before taking a deep breath and making her way down the stage ready for a fight and ready to seize an opportunity.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM DIAMOND HEAD, HAWAII….WEIGHING IN AT 144 POUNDS… “DIE HARD”….HARDCOORREEE LUUUNNNAAA!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: And this match is underway! Hardcore Luna is looking to start things out here by circling Solomon, when you’re facing off against an opponent of that sheer size and strength, you can’t just dive in. Luna humos in right away and takes what she can get as she runs up and hits Solomon in the upper back with a nasty dropkick! It only sends the big man stumbling a few steps forward! She looks for another and this time Stane avoids it as he waits until Luna has managed to get back to her feet before getting her with a dropkick of his own! It takes Luna right off her feet and into the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: Luna scrambles back up in the corner, Solomon is on her like a bat out of hell here as he picks her up and stands her up in a vertical base….. and throws her across the ring with the biel throw! He threw her across the ring like a child! Again, Luna tries to get back to her feet, but Solomon descends on her in an instant going right back on the attack as he looks for a rolling elbow but Luna ducks under it…and superkicks him in the back of the knee!
Deadprez: It’s enough to drop him down to a knee and Luna lines up her shot, she goes to the ropes AND KNOCKS DOWN STANE WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE! It gets him right in the side of the head, hopefully knocking the voices out of him! It takes Luna a second to realize just how wide her opening is this early in the match while she was catching her breath for a moment…AND SHE TRIES GOING FOR “TOUR OF HONOLULU” EARLY HERE –
Eve: But it is denied by Solomon as he holds her up high using his weight advantage and shoves Luna away as she landed quite hard on the back of her head! Solomon looks to take control of this match now –
(The lights go out for a few seconds before they flicker back on and we see Caroline at ringside with a evil smile as Solomon can’t help but be taken back, but he tries his best to not let him distract his focus.)
Deadprez: WHAT THE?? Caroline just appeared out of nowhere and she’s just staring a joke through Solomon who is competing right now. Solomon looks to refocus on Luna but how can you not keep a side eye on a person like Caroline especially after what she did costing him the Answers World Championship.
Gavin Kirkland: That little smile is just…..:yikes:
Eve: Luna of course looks to keep up the offense this time rolling back up to her feet in an instant looking to take advantage of the distraction from Caroline….and she is trying for a superkick BUT SOLOMON CATCHES THE LEG! Luna immediately tags him with an enziguri kick to the side of the head preventing any capitalization from her opponent! AND THEN SOLOMON DELIVERS A HEADBUTT RIGHT TO HER JAW! Luna is absolutely stunned as Solomon picks her up and sends her back down with a Thrust Spinebuster! Luna writhes on the ground with pain from that one as Solomon grabs Luna by her hair and then drags her to her feet! BIG BOOT RIGHT TO THE CHEST! That big boot sends Luna right out to ringside floor as she goes flying through the second rope!
Deadprez: Luna looks like she is trying to distance herself from Solomon and rethink her plan and recuperate a little bit but it doesn’t seem that chance is coming anytime soon as Solomon follows his prey out to ringside quickly as Luna tries to pick up her pace, but that doesn’t work as he grabs her by the hair! He picks up his opponent and gets her in position for a powerslam….BUT LUNA MANAGES TO SLIP OUT FROM BEHIND! She quickly dashes back inside the ring with Solomon in hot pursuit right after her….BUT UH OH!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline just stepped in front of Solomon stopping him from entering! That smile still on Caroline’s face as she and Solomon are face to face! Once again Solomon tries brushing it off as he sidesteps her and slides back into the ring.
Eve: LUNA LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT DISTRACTION FROM.CAROLINE ONCE AGAIN AS THE MINUTE SOLOMON GETS ON THE APRON HE’S MET WITH A V-TRIGGER! That was some clever thinking right there…but that wasn’t the only thought in her head as she rushes over the corner ascending her way up to the top turnbuckle AND LAUNCHES HERSELF TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A TRIANGLE CROSS-BODY! That is pure athleticism on display right there as she goes for the first cover of the match!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: Solomon stays in the game with a kick out! Solomon has to refocus because it’s quite clear Caroline has thrown him off his game with her presence at ringside.
Eve: Luna keeps a level head as she figures out her next move to keep the offense rolling. She looks over to the corner and makes the climb up onto the top rope…AND SHE LOOKS DOWN AT THE LIFELESS CORPSE OF SOLOMON BEFORE SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF GOING FOR THE MOONSAULT…BUT NOBODY HOME AS SOLOMON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! The moonsault doesn’t find the target as Solomon moves out of the way at the last second and that might end up coming back to bite her! That impact with the mat stuns Luna and gives Solomon the chance to turn the tide as he gets back to his feet and bell claps his opponent before measuring her up from behind…AND HE LAUNCHES HER FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX –
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUNA THOUGH LANDS ON HER FEET! LUNA LOOKS FOR A SPIN KICK BUT SOLOMON DUCKS UNDER IT AND HE GRABS HER AND ROLLS HER UP! Instead of a pin, Solomon lifts Luna onto his shoulders and DROPS HER WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Solomon then reaches down and picks up his opponent by the throat helping her find her feet! Solomon then pulls her in for the headbutt but Luna sidesteps it moving her head over before she counters with the armdrag! Solomon looks to break the stalemate with a running big boot, but Luna ducks under the massive leg and she kicks him in the back of the leg once more dropping Solomon to one knee and she looks to follow it up with a roundhouse kick…
Eve: BUT SOLOMON GRABS THE LEG AND LOOKS FOR ANKLE LOCK! SOLOMON HAS THE ANKLE LOCK LOCKED IN DEEP DOWN TWISTING AS HARD AS HE CAN ON HER ANKLE…LUNA COUNTERS ROLLING THROUGH SENDING SOLOMON INTO THE CORNER FACE FIRST! A SHOTGUN DROPKICK MAKES SURE HE STAYS THERE! She then looks to make the ascent once again to that top rope, but Solomon is right there behind her! He brings an elbow into the lower back of Luna before he uses his power advantage once more then pulls her off the top AND HITS THE SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB! Solomon doesn’t stop there as he then takes his own place on the top rope, watching and waiting for Luna to get into position as he looks over at Caroline at ringside and then…. MISERY’S END! That huge elbow drop connects with the back of Luna’s head! Solomon goes for a cover while looking over at Caroline at ringside still having that smirk on her face!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Luna gets the shoulder up at two and survives!
(Solomon can’t help but look over at Caroline who slowly holds up two fingers.)
Deadprez: Caroline letting him know it was only a two cou t and man she’s playing some serious mi in games here tonight and Solomon looks completely thrown off….and how Dan you not with a woman like Caroline having it out for you.
Eve: Solomon takes a second to talk things out with himself before he nods to himself after a back and forth, deciding on a path forward! LEAPING HEADBUTT! He went skull to skull with Luna once again! He then picks up his opponent and hits her with a discus punch! He nearly decapitates Luna with that one before he drags her back to her feet….AND THIS TIME HITS HER WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX! Solomon is simply punishing Luna here clearly trying to send some sort of sick message while again looking over to Caroline at ringside!
Gavin Kirkland: He now just strolls over to his opponent and starts stomping on her and he just keeps going and going until Ashlynn is able to get to the ropes! The ref pushes him away, warning him to back off before he’s disqualified! This upsets the self-proclaimed Savior and he just stares daggers into the official before putting his hands up in innocence. Solomon just pushes his way past the ref AND RIGHT INTO A KICK BY LUNA WHO STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT IN HER! Luna just caught Solomon by complete surprise AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! WAIT! Solomon catches her before her face is introduced to the mat! He lifts up Luna for another powerslam…BUT IT’S REVERSED INTO A SPINNING REVERSE DDT SPIKING HIS HEAD INTO THE MAT AND THERE’S LIFE FOR LUNA!
Eve: Luna manages to get herself back into a favorable position with that counter! She lets Stane get back to a vertical basis before unleashing a string of kicks and knees, she’s beating the big man like a drum! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER! Just like that, Stane is laid on the ground, probably not knowing where he is! He stumbles back up to his feet as Luna – LUNA DRILLS HIM WITH HER “LADY CASTIEL”!!! THE UPPER ELBOW SMASH AS SHE CRAWLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: NOT YET! STANE KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE AND THE MATCH CONTINUES ON! The frustration might be starting to set in on Luna a little bit.
Caroline: (at ringside) 🙂
Deadprez: She hasn’t moved in quite a while in front of us :lupe:
Eve: And now it’s Luna not wanting to take any chances as she delivers an elbow drop right to the heart of Solomon! Then she picks up Solomon and throws him over to the corner and follows up with an uppercut! She follows up with a vertical suplex! MY GOD THE STRENGTH FROM HER TO DO THAT! It takes serious determination and strength to get someone like Solomon up for a move like that but Luna isn’t done though as she doesn’t let go of Solomon, bringing him back to his feet for a third suplex! SOLOMON HITS ONE OF HIS OWN! THIS TIME STANE KEEPS THE CHAIN GOING! HE HITS A SECOND ONE! HE LOOKS FOR THE THIRD…BUT IT’S ODIN’S EYE! He drops her face first onto his knee and covers her again!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: OH MAN THAT WAS CLOSE BUT LUNA KICKS JUST IN TIME! Solomon picks her up right away but she fights back again as she shoves him sway creating separation as she falls back into the ropes – AND SHE DRILLS HIM WITH A SUPER KICK OUT OF NOWHERE AS HE APPROACHED HER!! Solomon collapses down and rolls out of the ring in order to save himself! Perfect time right there it seems or just fortunate luck of where he was in the ring as Luna is frustrated she couldn’t stop it before capitalizing.
(Solomon stumbles up and turns around only to come face to face with Caroline which causes him to fall and stumble backwards as that caught him completely off guard.)
Eve: Luna goes to the outside to try to get him back inside and take advantage of yet another distraction from Caroline! As she gets Solomon back to his feet…SOLOMON THROWS HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Now he brings her over to the apron and smashes his head right off of it! He takes the fight back inside the ring and looks for a new way to inflict punishment! He hoists up onto top rope before hitting her with a huge right hand! He climbs up there as well…clearly having something big on his mind! HE STRIKES HER WITH A HEADBUTT! AND NOW HE LIFTS LUNA UP FOR THE FALLAWAY SLAM – BUT LUNA JUST RAKED THE EYES, AND NOW LUNA LEAPS OVER AND DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE!!
Deadprez: SHE DOESN’T STOP THERE AS SHE RUNS AND HITS “LADY CASTIEL” FOR A SECOND TIME!!! AND HERE’S THE COVER AGAIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: SOLOMON KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!!!! Both competitors scramble back to their feet now and the two go back to circling each other…AND SOLOMON MAKES THE FIRST MOVE AS HE LOOKS FOR THE WHEEL KICK BUT LUNA STEPS TO THE SIDE! Luna gets him with a soccer kick to the back! SHE LOOKS FOR HER RUNNING KNEE STRIKE ONCE MORE BUT SOLOMON LEANS BACK TO DUCK IT! Solomon gets back to his feet and turns around to face his opponent…BUT LUNA IS OFF THE ROPES WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! SOLOMON TRIES TO CATCH HER BY THE LEGS …BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS LUNA TAKES HIM DOWN BEFORE SHE JUMPS ON HIS BACK AND HAMMERS DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH ELBOWS! She might have him exactly where she wants him!
Gavin Kirkland: She picks him up trying to get him in position, BUT SOLOMON PUSHES HER BACK BEFORE ALMOST TURNING HER INSIDE OUT WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE!! Momentum just swinging back and forth between these two.
Eve: He lifts his opponent back up…HE’S LOOKING FOR “SANITY’S SAKE!” Luna though is continuing to fight back trying to get out of this as she wraps her legs around the ropes, preventing Solomon from driving him into the mat! Luna is able to escape near defeat, but that doesn’t stop Solomon from continuing his assault! HE LOOKS FOR THE SPINNING BACK FIST BUT LUNA KICKS HIS HAND AWAY! SHE LOOKS FOR THE WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER…BUT STANE PUSHES HER AWAY! Luna lands right on her behind and SOLOMON GETS HER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! He leans down to Luna to keep up the attacks, but she kicks him right in the side of the head …AND THEN ROLLS HIM UP!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
OH HE JUST BARELY KICKS OUT AS THEY BOTH RACE UP TO THEIR FEET – AND LUNA RUNS RIGHT INTO “THE WORD!!!” THE RIGHT HOOK FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AS SOLOMON COMPLETELY KNOCKED HER LIGHTS OUT AS HE DROPS DOWN ON HER FOR THE COVER WHILE STILL EYEING CAROLINE!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(The World is Gonna End Tonight – Dan Romer, Peter Harper plays as the crowd showers Solomon in boos as he stands up and gets his hand raised.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….SOOLLOOMMOOOONNNNE STTTAAAAANNNNNE!!!!!
Eve: A hard fought battle which in the end, the ball bounced Solomon’s way as he saw an opening, took it and then picked up the victory. All the credit inches World to Hardcore Luna for the tremendous fight she put up tonight, but it wasn’t enough as Solomon picks up some momentum heading into Pain for Pride.
(Solomon is seen looking at the place where Caroline was, but she’s no longer there which freaks him out knowing she could be anywhere…)
Eve: LOOK OUT!! CAROLINE CHOP BLOCKS SOLOMON IN THE BACK OF HIS KNEE FROM BEHIND!! CAROLINE BEGINS STOMPING AWAY AT HIM BEFORE HE STANDS UP AND TURNS AROUND – AND CAROLINE SHOOTS HER MIST AT HIS FACE!!
Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON DUCKS AND ROLLS UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE! Solomon looks like his life just flashed before his eyes as he backs his way up the ramp and another smirk cones across the face of Caroline as the camera fades to black.)
Showdown quickly comes back from commercials as the camera’s move over to focus on the ring. Once again, it was a special occasion tonight because it was going to be the Answers World Championship contract signing. A table was laid out in the middle of the ring with chairs on both sides and surprisingly, the vacant Answers World Championship was right there on a pedestal right next to the head of the table. It was obvious by now that Alana Starr was going to conduct this contract signing, and well, she always ended up doing it. She stood right next to the championship with that annoying smile on her face.)
Alana Starr: Pipe down ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to conduct, yet again, another contract signing and with such a very important match here between the two talented competitors to fight for the NEW Answers World Championship, and I am going to make sure I do a GOOD job when these two former world champions sign the contract for their championship match, and to first start off, let me welcome…TLA!
(“Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac starts playing on the speakers while the crowd started cheering incredibly loud, as La Pantera Sexual slowly got out towards the entrance ramp and put up a confident smile, wearing this time a handsome looking dark blue suit for the Showdown brand, he nods to himself before he raises his fist up in the sky and the crowd cheers even louder while he walks down the ramp.)
Deadprez: And here we see La Pantera Sexual surprisingly calm after what ended up happening last week between him and Ms. Extreme, but by this point we are expected to see that from TLA, despite the shortcomings and the obstacles that he had to deal with throughout his whole career, he always kept a smile and a chill attitude towards the face of danger.
Eve: His career is inspiring in a way because he was treated like a joke when he first started all of those years ago, the wrestlers around EAW never believed he was going to become a world champion, reach the Hall of Fame or even have any success at all but now he stands here with various accomplishments to his name, and now he has the chance here of winning the Answers World Championship for the second time in his career, he just has someone else to take down in his path to it.
(TLA quickly hopped onto the ring apron once he got there and once again took in the cheers of the crowd, moving through the ropes and then walking over towards his own seat, sitting down on the chair and waiting patiently there as his music died down and Alana spoke again.)
Alana Starr: And now the other competitor, the NEW EAW Hall of Famer, Ms. Extreme!
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies plays across the speakers and the crowd grows even more ballistic and cheers can be heard all around the arena, as Ms. Extreme slowly walked out towards the entrance ramp with a genuinely happy smile on her face after the news of her being inserted into the Hall of Fame this year. She was very emotional to say the least so she simply took in the moment and looked around at all the people in the crowd.)
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme coming off great news yesterday as it was announced she was going to be inserted into the Hall of Fame this year and honestly, it is very deserved from her part, someone who achieved the PURE Championship, the Interwire Championship and the Universal Women’s Championship all over her career, she has left a grand impression in everyone’s mind from being the person that she was.
Eve: She has had a very unlucky season when it came to achieving gold for herself, having to face off against some known foes and being forced to endure some heavy losses along the way, it seems that everything that she thought was going to wrong ended up turning around, for this is basically the last opportunity she has at achieving some gold for herself and it is clear she is not going to let it pass her by.
Gavin Kirkland: …you know, Camille was like my first crush when I started working here-
Eve: Ok, was that necessary?
Deadprez: Ain’t no way.
Gavin Kirkland: HEY, IT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT! I just wanted to say it since we are celebrating her now and she will always have that spot in my heart-
(Ms. Extreme walked down the ramp after, spreading out her arms and then quickly high fiving a few people over in the front row, rushing quickly and then hopping onto the ring apron as well, entering inside and then walking over to sit down too, that small smile on her face as both TLA and Ms. Extreme were in both good moods for the contract signing. TLA grabbed his microphone and then spoke up.)
TLA: Felicitaciones mija. You deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
Ms. Extreme: Thanks a lot, I appreciate those words. Now then, I think the two of us know how this usually goes so start out yourself.
(TLA nods quickly before he begins to speak.)
TLA: It has been a wild journey for La Pantera Sexual this whole season, I was going out there putting the extreme in extremely latino when going up against everybody and anybody, they was not stopping me in any way no matter if they wanted to do it purely extreme, they wanted to go pure graps, they wanted to go purely dirty against me, but the only dirty they had was the floor that they had in their house and I was gonna use their face to wipe it all up for them because I am a good samaritan 🙏 Did more for God than Fake God himself. But nah fr, it was a lot of fun having to go out there and do all of that lucha for all of you people watching, put the Extreme at redeeming that road in December, but they ended up catching me lacking, La Familia Disfuncional ended up taking me out and Roberto robbed my championship on bright day light, had to get redemption there too and beat that culo, and I beat all of that culo various times but sadly, before I knew it, they was trying to drug your boi and send him to the asylum but they knew that if they put me there, I would make it look like a friendly parrilla and all other patients there would be the sanest people there, you don’t fuck with a crazy pantera, so they sent me here instead because they could not contain that latino.
TLA: And before I knew it, bam, Kelton tries to pull off an asesinato on Daryl, the same doctor that tried to send me to the Asylum tries to pull Dr. House with my man Adam, and I end up getting esa victoria to now be in this match for Pain for Pride, suddenly el Visual Profeta gets crucified or whatever happened there and now you are here, Camille, and honestamente, I would not have anyone else to be fighting me for this very important match for the two of us, I am going to become el campeon del mundo one more time, rolling into Pain for Pride with the windows all the way down because inside there is too much heat to contain este hombre. Going hard with everything that I have and let y’all know TLA pelea con el corazón y el talento.
(The crowd cheers as TLA slowly leans back and lets Camille get the floor for herself, nodding quickly and then speaking up too.)
Ms. Extreme: Sorry if I get super emotional when talking at this moment, it is genuinely a dream that I am able to stand here being known as a Hall of Famer, I wish I could go back on time and tell that rebellious little girl that she was going to indeed make great things if she put her mind to it, years ago I believed I was done, I suffered a back injury that made me feel like I was not going to wrestle again, that my dream of wrestling against the best and become someone like that, it was never going to be achieved but I overcame all of that, I am able to stand here calling myself someone who will be known and remembered throughout the long story of this company, it brings me a lot of joy that I did not think I would be able to experience, all of this is happening even after the bad luck that I suffered this whole season, having to fail at achieving the Universal Women’s Championship, having to fail at achieving the World Heavyweight Championship as well, it opened my eyes a bit and having to encounter and talk with various other wrestlers here who went through their own failures as well, it felt like I could end up growing as a wrestler, I could grow as a person learning from the mistakes that I did in the past, and I tried to open up, I pushed through willing to make something different happen and well, I ended up showing that I was not going to let myself be pushed around so easily, I showed that I was selfish and maybe a bit cruel… but that I indeed had a heart somewhere deep in me. And I would like to believe that after that realization, maybe my luck finally turned around for me.
Ms. Extreme: And that something like this is basically one of the last opportunities I am going to be given when it comes to becoming a world champion yet again, I am not going to accept another result other than a win for me, TLA. All of what I have endured, all of what I had to suffer to get to this point, and then being given the opportunity to be here in the first place, it makes me to believe that it is now or never before I end up experiencing the end of the road for me, it almost feels like the end of a fairy tale book and I am looking to reach its conclusion.
(The crowd cheers loudly for her too before she looks down at the contract, grabbing the pen and then signing it before pushing it towards TLA, as he grabbed his own pen too and then signed it as well. The two stood up and stared each other down as Camille spoke up.)
Ms. Extreme: Oh yeah uh, sorry about what happened last week, just wanted to send a message.
TLA: Aye, no hard feelings, I get it, it is all tranquilo over here. Buena suerte, we about to make history going out there as two latinas main eventing Pain for Pride.
Ms. Extreme: Que así sea.
(TLA and Camille quickly shaked hands as the crowd gave support at the sign of respect and just as Camille was about to pull away-)
Deadprez: VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT TO CAMILLE! CAMILLE GETS KNOCKED DOWN ONTO HER SEAT FROM THE STRIKE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?! TLA GRABS HER AND THEN PULLS HER CLOSER-
Eve: MEXICAN DESTROYER THROUGH THE TABLE!!!
(TLA quickly gets Camille off him as she is completely laid out over as the crowd was in shock but a lot of them still cheered because yeah, Camille did get that coming after what happened last week.)
(TLA lets out that smile again, shrugs his shoulders and then quickly leaves the ring as “Ambitionz az a Ridah” plays once more, the last shot being of Camille laid out on the destroyed table as Showdown quickly faded backstage for the next segment.)
(Showdown ended up moving now towards backstage and over to Mikaela Street, she was standing there with the usual bright smile on her face as she waved hello towards the camera and then she ended up speaking up with a bubbly tone to her voice.)
Mikaela Street: Heeeeello everybody! I hope all of you have enjoyed the show so far, that contract signing ended up in such an intense way, don’t you all think? But I am sure that knowing TLA and Ms. Extreme, they are going to have an amazing match at Pain for Pride, but as for now, we move away from that and we focus towards the Cash in the Vault match, as we see a competitive lineup prepared for this year’s edition, and uh, we had a bit of a chaotic interaction last week with the representatives of Showdown, but luckily, I only have to interview one of them tonight, so… uhm, please, welcome-
ARIA: Why so worried, Mikaela?
(The screen quickly moved to the side and ARIA made her presence known as suddenly, loud boos could be heard across the arena from the people watching in the titantron, ARIA barely budging by them, and seemingly the smirk widening on her face from hearing them, well, you could really not see due to the bandages around her mouth but it seemingly looked like she barely reacted. Once again, she looked incredibly presentable, a vest and skirt combo with a pink and white style, she was seemingly back to the ARIA of old now but it was clear something changed.)
ARIA: I am not going to hurt you silly, what happened last week was simply someone paying their debt and I had to be the one to conduct the payment. But hey, we do not have to worry now of someone taking away screen time of my deserved interview, so go on, start asking.
(ARIA says with a bright light on her eyes as Mikaela blinks confused and still not as calm but she pushes through either way.)
Mikaela Street: Righto then, sorry about that! I just wanted to ask abouuuuuttt… What exactly Cash in the Vault means to you and your thoughts heading into the Voltage match and the match at Pain for Pride?
ARIA: Oh Mikaela, it is going to be one of the most wonderful feelings I am going to experience in the whole damn world when I take that briefcase for myself and truly redeem this horrible, horrible season that has plagued and completely destroyed me in every single way, and it is not about simply me, Mikaela, I am doing it to save the briefcase, I am doing it so that no one else continues to ruin the prestige of it after the incident that happened last year, because none of the people who are in the match are worthy of holding it except for me, none of them have gone through what I have, none of them have the maturity that I do, none of them even have the advanced mentality that I have to be able to achieve what they need at life, what they need to achieve to be able to further their career here and actually get to become a world champion, do you think I am happy about how I have been treated? Do you think I have deserved everything that has been going my way? No, I simply wanted to help, I simply wanted to achieve my dream and become a champion. I was just a detective girl who was abused, who was manipulated, simply because I “existed”. Do you think that is a good reason to get treated the way that I have done?
ARIA: No, there was NO reason for any of what happened to me, there is NO reason for people to take away my entrance and my theme music, there is NO reason for them to take away part of my identity, there is NO reason for people to turn on me when I have done is continue to be the person I am supposed to be, the person that I AM, there is NO reason for me to treated like I am shit by the world when all I wanted was just to help it out, I just… I just wanted to be happy doing what I loved and…
(ARIA’s eyes looked completely blank as she said all of this as Mikaela started freaking out even more as she slowly spoke up.)
Mikaela Street: Uhm, Aria… that is not really the question I answered… :lupe:
ARIA: And? That is what I continue to feel, that is what has been on my mind 24/7, and it is going to be the most euphoric when I win and prove everyone wrong, ALL of you wrong, and that match in Voltage? I will easily win that one, next question.
(Mikaela as a curious person wanted to continue digging deeper with her questions so she ended up making a few more questions.)
Mikaela Street: Aria, what happened to you last week to be exact? It… is a completely different Aria from the one we have seen.
ARIA: …Hm. Really? Are you sure, Mikaela? Because as far as I know, it was simply the same Aria who was there last week, she was simply handing justice to those who continued to make other people suffer, Candice made people I called friends suffer, she did that to me too and everything that happened last week what was coming to her and even while I did that, I helped someone in the process, because the person that ended up getting the crown that I threw out into the crowd messaged me to thank me for what I did, that they were able to sell the crown for a lot of money and save themselves out of almost being bankrupt, do you NOT see the good that I still do for this world? All of the people that I help out?
Mikaela Street: Okay, but there is clearly something that ended up happening to you, are you alright after what happened with your match with Pandora?
(ARIA’s expression quickly grows annoyed hearing Mikaela ask these questions.)
ARIA: You know what? Sure. Maybe something small did change from what ended up happening, something did end up breaking inside of there when I suffered that loss, I felt lost, I felt that everything that I worked hard for to achieve my vengeance, my cathartic crescendo, was for naught, and even though what happened in that match was dirty from her part, that it had to go down to that… the ultimate loss was my fault, I let my guard down at the worst moment, I showed mercy, I let my heart speak for me there… and everything crumbled down. And I can not believe what I am saying but… a twisted part of me feels thankful for what Pandora has done to me, she opened my eyes and awakened something inside of me, that maybe I did not to stick to a path of self-righteousness, that maybe I do not to be such hopelessly dumb girl, that maybe being ruthless, conniving, completely cutthroat… is the way to go. But hey, do not worry, Aria will still be Aria… just not as merciful anymore.
Mikaela Street: …And what would you say to the theory that… you have always been hiding something like that?
(It was then that Aria’s expression and look grew sinister as she shot daggers directly towards Mikaela and got a lot closer.)
ARIA: What games are you playing right now, Mikaela? I thought the questions would be about Cash in the Vault, why are you not doing your job?
Mikaela Street: I just-
ARIA: But if you really want to know, all of what I am going to say is that everything you have seen from me up to this point was what ARIA the wrestler has done… and you all don’t know yet what Aria Lestrade is truly capable of-
???: THERE YOU ARE!
(ARIA suddenly stops as she hears that annoying voice, turning around towards it before quickly noticing that it was indeed, Princess Candice.)
Princess Candice: You think I was just going to let you get away with what you did to me last week?! You ruined some of the sparkles in my dress when you attacked me with that bat, you made me lose so much money when you lost my crown! Who do you think you are now, Aria? Some rip-off of the Punisher? How dare you do what you have done? There was not even a need for that when we all know that the briefcase is going to end up in MY hands! You think what you did was very lady-like? I am a Princess and you WILL treat me like one!
ARIA: …
Mikaela Street: …
ARIA: Sigh. You really are pathetic, you know that?
(ARIA simply rolls her eyes and just brushes off what Candice said to her, moving over past her and going to walk away-)
(CANDICE GRABS HER ARM, PULLING HER OVER AND SUDDENLY TAKING HER DOWN WITH THE “DISNEYLAND” DESTROYER!)
(ARIA is completely laid out in the ground while Candice stands over her, fixing her dress and speaking up.)
Princess Candice: And all of that while looking as pretty as ever! See you until Pain for Pride! ✨
(Princess turned on her heels and happily walked away while ARIA was left laid out holding onto her head, as Showdown went to commercials on that last shot.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the Specialists Champion; KASAI!
(As Showdown came back from commercial, immediately “KARATE” by Babymetal blasted through the speakers as she made her way down to the ring.)
Deadprez: KASAI has been going all over the place due to recently occuring events, we’ve seen her end up in a trailer park, in the back of a taxi cab, and then she ended up on Voltage.
Eve: The Specialists Champion has her attention span locked and loaded on immortality, and that is gonna be difficult to obtain, but KASAI is gonna go at it her hardest.
Gavin Kirland: KASAI probably needs to spill a few things, she got heckled up in that creepy trailer park with weird hillbilly men, how distraught she has to be*
(KASAI made her way to the end of the ramp, as she entered the ring. At the sound of her theme dying down, she would speak.)
KASAI: Last week was an interesting story, huh? One second I am finishing up with my match, and then I am fighting in a yard filled to the brim with hillbillies, but I call that — The Specialists Championship experience. You never know what you are going to get, but at this point maybe I should know just a little bit? Seems like this’ll be a recurring pattern now every second I blink my eyes, Usagi Senshi sees that as some sort of opportunity to come running in and attack me from behind. This is getting out of hand, Usagi. And I think it needs to be stated, at Pain For Pride.. You must be taken down. It has continued to this point long enough, you are going to keep at this until you get what you want, so here you go. Well kinda..
(KASAI paced around the ring, hands on her championship.)
KASAI: I still want to see Mia Santoro in the mix all things considered, and if that is a problem for you, Usagi then that is fine because the match at Pain For Pride can go from being KASAI with Usagi involved to you sitting at home watching from your couch wondering how wrong all of this shit has gone for you. Because I don’t think if you want me to be rightfully honest, you are THAT compelling. You are just on my last nerve, but whatever, have fun alright? Yeah. I offered Mia the spot in the match last week, so–
(Suddenly an angered Usagi Senshi would make her way out, you could see the look on her face. She had no theme song, she just scurried to the ring…)
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi is here and she is unhappy with the words KASAI murmured..
Eve: KASAI is prepared for a potential attack, as you just don’t know the unpredictability!
Gavin Kirkland: I could just imagine where Usagi Senshi and KASAI would end up next, neighborhoods are getting unhappy! I wouldn’t be pleased if KASAI and Usagi ended up fighting in my bedroom!
(Usagi entered the ring just looking at KASAI disgusted and annoyed.)
Usagi Senshi: You don’t need to hide anything, KASAI. You know that you are intimidated and afraid of me, which is why you are taking this mainlonging approach. This irrational fear waiting in wing, because you know that a one on one match with KASAI is what Usagi Senshi deserves. But you also know that will be the end of everything good as you ever know it, as all sorts of enjoyment that you have will be ripped away from you. This entire sequence of wanting to get Mia Santoro involved is bullshit, she shares no place on Pain For Pride, and it should just be myself and you, you gotta quit including in your narratives, and it will be a whole lot better. Because be honest, KASAI. A match between us will move a whole bunch more needles than a match forcing Mia Santoro where she doesn’t need to be–
(Usagi was cut off as “21st Century Bitch” hit the arena as Mia stepped out looking at KASAI and Usagi in the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: And here comes the third party in Mia Santoro! It’s crazy to see beauty like that being represented on Showdown currently!
Eve: Yeah. Voltage’s rising star has a strong case of being in this match as much as Usagi Senshi wishes to dispute..
Deadprez: And she is going to set that point across until Usagi understands it enough.
(Mia didn’t waste a second entering the ring as she looked at the other 2, more specifically at KASAI, kind of brushing Usagi over, which clearly irritated her.)
Mia Santoro: KASAI babygirl, now that we can both stand in the ring here and look at each other without other crybabies intervening. It’s really sweet that you want me to be a part of this match, because I do deserve to be a part of it, and it will be a revolutionary performance from me. But I don’t know if I need to state this any further – This is going to be a forgone conclusion after Pain For Pride – You are making the worst mistake of your life. You are going to look back at how adamant you were to add a third party to make this match more interesting, because let’s be serious here, KASAI and Usagi alone weren’t selling the pitch. But you are gonna see adding Mia Santoro to the match, the worst thing plausible. And the only person you have to blame for that? Yourself babygi–
(SUDDENLY MIA SANTORO WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY USAGI WHO NAILED HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A MICROPHONE.)
Usagi Senshi: You have no place in this match, Mia!
(Usagi yelled angrily, BEFORE KASAI JOINED THE FIGHT! A brawl sprawled out between the 3 women in the ring, as they were each taking turns pulling one off and punching the other, after enough time had passed, the ring filled up with officials pulling the 3 of them apart..)
Usagi Senshi: This is between me and KASAI, stay out of it!
Mia Santoro: KASAI is barely mentioning you!
(The arguing between Usagi and Mia continued, as the final shot before the commercial was a look on the annoyed Specialists Champions face. Was she biting on more than she can really chew?)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE-FALL!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole begins to play as Candice Blair makes her way out onto the stage. She receives a strong welcome from the crowd, cheering her on as she poses for them.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN TONIGHT AT 130 POUNDS…SHE IS THE ‘THE FACE OF DISNEY’…CANDICE BLAIR!
(She makes her down to the ring, stopping to interact with some of the fans in attendance. When she’s done with that, she gets inside the ring and gets on the top turnbuckle as the crowd chants her name. It is soon cut off as “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie begins to play. The crowd erupts in boos as Caroline slowly walks out. She sneers at them.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…RESIDING AMONGST THE SHADOWS…WEIGHING IN AT 109 POUNDS…SHE IS “THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS”…CAROLINE!
(She makes her down to the ring and stops to stare down Solomon Stane who is sitting at ringside. Caroline breaks eye contact to focus on her immediate threat. She gets inside the ring where Candice Blair is waiting. The referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: There’s the bell and here we go! AND SO DOES CAROLINE! She immediately rushes towards Candice Blair and connects with the hurricanrana! Her opponent is sent rolling into the corner! Caroline traps her there, hitting with a clothesline! AND THEN A CHOP! And she hits the clothesline again, followed by another chop! This is a vicious combination, but you can’t expect anything less out of her! Blair blocks the clothesline….AND GETS CAROLINE WITH A HEADBUTT!
Eve: Caroline stumbles back but Blair looks to continue her offense! She lunges forward for the forearm smash but Caroline catches her arm! SHE CHOPS HER ACROSS THE CHEST! And now she is looking for an irish whip! Caroline sends Blair into the ropes…and then she ducks under a clothesline attempt! She leaps up onto the second rope and COMES DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Blair is able to avoid it, allowing her opponent to crash and burn onto the mat! She doesn’t waste any time picking her up from behind and driving her down with a saito suplex!
Deadprez: That seems to do the trick in subduing her! Candice Blair however, isn’t about to give Caroline the chance to recover! She picks her back up and connects with another snap suplex! Blair established control with that one! She picks her back up and throws her into the corner! She takes a few steps back and then launches herself into her opponent with a running european uppercut! She rolls back towards the center of the ring…AND GOES FOR IT AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS TIME CAROLINE STEPS OUT OF THE WAY! Once again she has her opponent trapped in the corner and she sandwiches her into the turnbuckle with a clothesline! And now she’s stomping on her, just going as crazy here! Candice Blair is now in a seated position, trying her best to block this rain of boots coming down on her head! The referee is now separating the two, telling Caroline to back up! Caroline agrees….AND THEN RUSHES PAST HIM TO HIT THE CANNONBALL SENTON! She just smushes Blair in that corner, an absolutely brutal maneuver! Caroline grabs her by the leg and drags her towards the middle of the ring for the first cover of the match!
ONE!
T-
Eve: That’s the shoulder! It looks like Blair was able to kick out before the two count! Obviously this one is far from over! Caroline lines her opponent now, looking to add to the punishment! SHE GOES FOR THE LITTLE MONSTER! Right before she makes impact, Candice Blair raises her knees! That was quick-thinking from her highness! She makes her way back to her feet as her opponent gets back to hers! She grabs her from behind and looks for the half-and-half suplex! CAROLINE PULLS HER ARM AWAY! SHE ELBOWS BLAIR IN THE FACE! And now she makes her way to the ropes once again…BUT GETS ROCKED BY DROPKICK IN THE BACK! Candice Blair remained hot on her trail there!
Deadprez: Caroline falls right onto the middle rope, hanging there as Candice makes her way out onto the apron! SHE HITS CAROLINE WITH A SUPERKICK! The Queen of Shadows is sent back towards the center of the ring! She still tries to get back up even after that, but she can only make it to a single knee! Blair comes back in and smiles at her! YAKUZA KICK! She gets her right in the forehead! Talk about a kill shot from Blair! She looks for her own cover!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline gets her shoulder out now! It is going to be difficult to put her down tonight! After all, she is coming into this match looking for revenge from the last time these two faced off! If we have learned anything about Caroline, it’s that she will do whatever it takes to get even! Candice looks to prevent that though as she brings Caroline back up to her feet! She pulls her in an exploder suplex! BUT SHE TAKES AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Caroline then shoves her away! She rushes past her opponent and goes to the ropes once again! SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT! SHE KNOCKS THE BLOCK OFF CANDICE BLAIR!
Eve: Caroline is looking pretty happy with herself after that one! She gets back to her feet and gets her a standing somersault leg drop! Impressive athleticism on display here! Caroline now latches onto the arm of her opponent and brings her back to her feet! She brings Blair over to the ropes and climbs up onto them…SHE LOOKS FOR THE BACKFLIP DDT! BUT BLAIR RIPS HER RIGHT OFF THE ROPES! Caroline lands awkwardly on her feet, but before she can react, Candice gets her with an exploder suplex! She hits the mat and then rolls underneath the bottom rope!
Deadprez: Candice Blair climbs out onto the apron and waits for Caroline to get back to get to her feet! SHE GETS HER WITH A DROPKICK OFF THE APRON! She sends her opponent flying into the barricade! She is looking pretty confident here! Blair goes to throw Caroline back inside the ring…BUT CAROLINE SMASHES HER HEAD FIRST OFF THE APRON! And now she grabs her and sends her right into the barricade! That was a massive impact there and Caroline throws her back inside the ring! She makes her up onto the apron! FLIPPING LEG DROP ONTO BLAIR! SHe looks for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Gavin KIrkland: She was able to get the shoulder up! Caroline immediately picks her opponent back up and gets her a northern lights suplex! She rolls through with it and gets her with the double stomp! And now she’s looking for something a bit stronger here! Caroline eyes that top turnbuckle before making her ascent! She looks down at Blair who doesn’t seem to be moving anywhere! WIDOW SPLASH! SHE GOES OFF THE TOP BUT BLAIR ROLLS OUT OF THE LAST SECOND! Both competitors scramble to find their footing, but Blair is able to move quicker! She comes at her opponent with the headscissors AND TRANSITIONS INTO THE CROSSFACE!
Eve: She has her arms pulling and squeezing into the face of Caroline, wrenching back that neck! This has to hurt even someone like hurt! You can see that Caroline is trying to pull herself towards the ropes, literally clawing her way towards them! CANDICE BLAIR ROLLS BACKWARDS AND KEEPS IT LOCKED IN! Caroline is now grabbing at her hands….AND SHE BEGINS TO PRY HER FINGERS OFF! Candice, sensing that she’s losing her grip, releases the hold and gets back to her feet! Caroline is left on the ground, still reeling in pain from that submission! FRONT FLIP FROM BLAIR! AND ANOTHER! HERE COMES THE BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO! CAROLINE AVOIDS IT! She makes her way to get back to a vertical base! She does not waste a second here! DARK HALLOWS! THE SHOOTING STAR KNEE DROP!
Deadprez: BLAIR IS ABLE TO DODGE OUT OF THE WAY HERE! Caroline is able to catch herself on her knees, but Blair gets her from behind with a massive forearm to the back of the head! Caroline falls forward after being rocked by her opponent! Candice Blair grabs onto the leg of her opponent now, knowing that needs to disable some offense here! She places her opponent into the heel hook, twisting her leg! Caroline however, is able to get to the ropes, forcing the break! Blair doesn’t release, instead pulling Caroline back towards the center! SHE DRIVES A KNEE DOWN IN HER OPPONENT’S! She flips her back over onto her stomach and lifts up the leg! SHE DRIVES IT RIGHT INTO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: You have to fight smarter, not harder! That is what Candice Blair is doing right now! She picks up her opponent once again…SHE HITS HER WITH A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE KNEE! I don’t know if Caroline is going to be able to walk through the rest of this one, let alone wrestle! Blair however picks up her opponent and throws her into the corner! Once there, she delivers another big stomp right to the knee of Caroline! Now she grabs her by the head…AND HERE COMES THE COLORS OF THE WIND! She makes an attempt at the tornado DDT but Caroline is able to counter it! SHE PICKS UP HER OPPONENT TO COUNTER WITH A SUPLEX! However, her leg gives out on her! BLAIR SUPLEXES HER RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: It looks like Candice Blair’s strategy is already playing dividends! Candice brings her back to her feet and looks for another suplex! THIS TIME SHE LIFTS UP FOR THE REVERSE! Caroline however scratches at the face of Blair, forcing her to drop her back down! The referee is telling her that she can’t do that, but she doesn’t give a hoot! Candice turns around and swings wildly at the Queen of Shadows, but she’s caught by her! SHE COUNTERS INTO STANDING SPANISH FLY! Her leg was able to hold up under that one, which means that we might actually see her turn the tables now! She grabs a fistful of her opponent’s hair and drags her over the ropes! She might be limping, but that doesn’t seem to slow her down right now!
Deadprez: SHE LOCKS IN THE TARANTULA! She calls this “Cold-Hearted”! See how she’s using the ropes to apply a boston crab onto her opponent! It seems like she’s firing back in her own way! Of course the ref once again has to talk to Caroline, giving her until the count of five to release the hold! She gets right up to that four count before she releases her opponent! That was more than enough time to produce the result that she wanted! Caroline heads up to the top rope now, seeing that her opponent is down! HERE COMES THE WIDOW SPLASH! IT ACTUALLY CONNECTS! HERE COMES THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: But it just is not enough here! The shoulder is up and Candice Blair is able to continue here! Caroline seems really frustrated by that kick out! She brings her opponent to the corner once again! She drapes her opponent across the middle rope here and then climbs out onto the apron! I wonder what she has in mind here! SHE DELIVERS A STANDING SOMERSAULT LEG DROP TO THE BACK OF CANDICE BLAIR’S HEAD! Caroline crushes her into that rope, adding even more damage to the move! That right there is innovative and effective! And now look, she is just waiting for her opponent to find her way back up! I don’t know or why, but Blair is actually trying to stand here! CAROLINE LOOKS TO END THINGS HERE AND NOW! “WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME”!
Eve: BUT CANDICE BLAIR IS ABLE TO CATCH HER! You can see by the shock on Caroline’s face that she was not expecting that! Candice lifts her up for the powerbomb! BUT DROPS HER BACK DOWN WITH A HEADBUTT! That is not the sort of offense you would expect from her, but on the road to Pain for Pride, you have to do whatever it takes! She picks up Caroline and drives her into the corner with a chop! AND SHE GOES OFF ON HER! HERE COMES THE MACHINE-GUN CHOPS! She is just holding down the r-trigger, unloading everything she can into her opponent! Once Caroline seems subdued to her satisfaction, she throws back towards the center of the ring!
Deadprez: Caroline falls down to her hands and knees, clearly feeling those chops more than she would have liked! She tries to get back up, but CANDICE KICKS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! Once again, she’s going rapid-fire, just hitting Caroline as fast and as hard as she can! She finally lets up and she falls down face first on the mat! It seems that right now, Caroline is an easy target for her opponent! All Candice Blair has to do is put an end to this! She picks her up…ALMOST THERE! SHE LOOKS FOR THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT!
Gavin Kirkland: She hooks the arm on the rebound and it looks like she wants to apply that signature Gory Special also known as the Web of Lies! Candice Blair doesn’t seem to want any part of it, prying herself away from Caroline! She’s able to make it to the ropes, where Caroline tries to meet her with a forearm! CANDICE IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT! She rushes to the other side of the ring and uses the ropes to build a little speed as she catapults towards a confused Caroline! RAGS TO RICHES! SHE CONNECTS WITH THE WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! This could be it as she goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Eve: NO! Caroline is able to kick out just before the three! Candice seems disappointed by that, but tries to keep a cool head! She grabs the leg of her opponent once again and this time she applies a classic kneebar! She made a mistake here though, because Caroline is fairly close to the ropes! She’s in pain, but she manages to reach back and grab onto them! Candice is intent on letting the ref have his count, but Caroline uses all of her strength to pull them to the outside! As Candice falls and hits the floor, she is forced to release the hold! That was an interesting tactic by Caroline, but it clearly paid off considering she’s free! We don’t know how long that could be for, as Candice picks her up to throw her back inside the ring!
Deadprez: BUT CAROLINE THROWS HER RIGHT INTO THE RING POLE INSTEAD! She then grabs her by the hand and makes her way up onto the barricade! She looks right at Solomon Stane who has been sitting at ringside just staring her down this entire match! WICKED! She connects with the backflip DDT, driving Candice Blair’s skull right down onto that hard surface! And now she throws her back inside the ring! You have to think that right now, we are at the beginning of the end! If Caroline can hit her with one more big move, it is all over!
Gavin Kirkland: She picks up Candice Blair…AND SHE LOOKS FOR A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE! CANDICE BLAIR HAS OTHER PLANS IN MIND! SHE SLIPS OUT AND GRABS HER OPPONENT BY THE WAIST! SAITO SUPLEX! SHE PLANTS HER OPPONENT ON HER NECK AND HEAD! Candice Blair has just turned the tables once again here! She lifts Caroline up and tucks her head into between her legs! She knows just how dangerous it could be if she lets this one go on any longer! CANDICE BLAIR LOOKS FOR THE DISNEYLAND DESTROYER! CAROLINE REFUSES TO BUDGE! Instead she drives her opponent back out of the ring through the middle rope! Both competitors however, are able to catch themselves on the apron!
Eve: They stare each other down, neither one willing to accept defeat tonight! THEY START EXCHANGING CHOPS! Caroline fires first, nearly knocking Blair to the outside! She’s able to hang on though and fires back with one of her own! They keep going, each one hitting harder than the last! Candice Blair is able to end the stalemate, connecting her boot with the face of her opponent! She snatches up Caroline….AND SHE LOOKS FOR A SUPLEX ONTO THE APRON! BUT CAROLINE REACHES OUT AND GRABS THE ROPES! She is able to hold herself down, preventing Blair from hitting her with that lethal move! She shoves her away…AND THEN CATCHES HER! STANDING SPANISH FLY ON THE APRON!
Deadprez: Both of these competitors collapse onto the floor! It’s pretty clear however that Candice Blair got the worst of that exchange! Caroline is able to make her back to her feet and she looks down now at her opponent! She gets her back up and then heads back inside the ring! What does she have in mind here? Caroline runs to the opposite side of the ring and then comes back at her opponent…HERE COMES THE NO ESCAPE! SHE LOOKS FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE AND THEN THE DDT!
Eve: BUT CANDICE COUNTERS IT! SHE REFUSES TO BE HIT BY THE DDT AND TURNS IT INTO A SUPLEX! She doesn’t waste any time throwing her opponent back inside the ring! Candice Blair is now looking to finally put Caroline in the ground here! She picks her back up and throws her into the corner! She then walks to the opposite side of the ring before running back at her opponent for the european uppercut! SHE NEARLY TAKES CAROLINE’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT ONE! And now Candice Blair lifts her up and places her on the top rope! She grabs the arms…AND I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE MS. BLAIR’S WILD RIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CAROLINE BOOTS HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Blair stumbles forward from the blow but is able to keep herself upright! She turns around to face Caroline…BUT THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! SHE GETS HER WITH HER THE DARK HALLOWS! The shooting star knee is able to find its target, landing right in the back of Blair’s head! The Face of Disney is now lying flat on the ground and Caroline is in absolute control! She picks her back up and grabs her by the head! HERE COMES A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE! Candice’s head meets the mat and this has to be it! Here comes the cover by Caroline!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie begins to play as Caroline stands back up. She’s looking down on Candice Blair with disgust.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…’THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS’…CAROLINE!
Deadprez: What a match here! These two were willing to do whatever it took to come out on top tonight! In the end though, Caroline was the one who was able to find the perfect opening! I mean, it was a beautiful combination to put her opponent away!
(Caroline is celebrating in the ring, but soon a shadow is cast over her. Solomon Stane has entered the ring and is standing behind her. She notices and turns around.)
Eve: SOLOMON GRABS HER BY THE THROAT! HE PULLS HER IN FOR THE HEADBUTT! And he keeps headbutting her over and over again, just trying to send a message as thoroughly as possible! AND NOW HE CONNECTS WITH THAT TRIUMPH OF TRUTH! These two haven’t been able to leave each other alone since Fighting Spirit! Tonight is proving to be no exception!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at Solomon Stane now, standing above her and just praying! This is a sick individual here folks! It makes me wonder exactly what sort of carnage we might witness at Pain for Pride!
(The scene slowly fades into commercial break as Solomon stands over the unconscious Caroline with a huge wicked smile on his face.)
(As Showdown returns from commercial break, “Refuse, Resist” by Sepultura starts to play throughout the arena. The fans began to boo as Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel both came out and they look none too happy after what happened on Dynasty last night. Both ladies in their street clothes make their way to the ring.)
Deadprez: Two women that went on Dynasty last night and made a point to talk down to The Jaded Hearts, and they made some valid points, but at the same time as they were interacting, out came NICHOLISM and attacked both teams leaving them laid in waste.
Eve: We know that these two ladies are vindictive and will do whatever it takes to get their pound of flesh, NICHOLSIM better watch their back.
Gavin Kirkland: The beautiful Hellcat is here, and they are not taking any prisoners! You are looking at the NEW Unified Tag Team Champions in this tri-brand Tag Team war!
(The British Invasion head to ringside, Pandora walks by Gavin Kirkland and blows him a kiss, he almost faints as she rolls in the ring as Halsey is already there with a mic in hand. Their theme dies down.)
Pandora Paisley: I thought Mobile, Alabama was bad, mate, we are now in the worst part of Florida.
Hasley Neel: We are but we were here last night but on Dynasty, had a few things to say toward the Jaded Hearts, and you two can’t fool us or the people watching last night and right now, because we know the truth, and Sienna Jade can play coy all she wants, we all know that this is all an annoyance for Kassidy Heart.
Pandora Paisley: That’s right love, come on Kassidy, you know damn well that you should be challenging for a World Championship and Main Eventing Pain For Pride. I mean, yes you are now the greatest tag team of all time because of the last Unified Tag Team Championship titles won at Fighting Spirit, but the novelty has worn out. Do yourself a favor, flower, stop trying to preserve Sienna Jade any longer, before even more resentment starts to creep in. Matter of fact, if I am wrong with what I have said, then come right to me face and call me a liar.
(The crowd boos as Pandora just flips off the crowd, Halsey though isn’t in a great mood either, looking right at the camera.)
Halsey Neel: But this is not about the Jaded Hearts right now, we spoke truth and nothing more. They can’t deny any of this, but who we are calling out is NICHOLISM. You know, it figures you two losers would attack us from behind while we are in a heated discussion with the Jaded hearts, everyone knows that you can’t beat us. I mean listen to everything that we have said, if there is ONE tag team in this entire industry that is not going to outright lie in your face, it is The British Invasion!
(The crowd boos even louder.)
Pandora Paisley: Did that make you feel good, NICHOLISM? Everyone knows that you two do not belong in this match, this is about US and The Jaded Hearts, you are proven losers and there is no denying it. So of course, the only way you are going to win anything is by cheating or attacking us from behind. We know that you two are here, so Ruler and Alex Myers…. Get the bloody hell out here!
(The British Invasion starts to pace when suddenly “Zombie” by The Cranberries starts to play throughout the arena. Pandora and Halsey look at one another and smile.)
Deadprez: NICHOLISM is here! They are here on Showdown and these four along with The Jaded Hearts will go to WAR at Pain For Pride for the Unified Tag Team Championships!
Eve: The British Invasion called out NICHOLISM after what happened last night, and they answered right away!
Gavin Kirkland: Get that Voltage trash out of here !
Eve: NICHOLISM have made it to the ring, and they are grabbing mics, entering the ring!
(NICHOLISM get into the ring, their theme dies down as they stand across from The British Invasion as Alex speaks first.)
Alex Myers: How am I not surprised that you two would come out here and complain about what happened last night when you would have done the same exact thing and have. Ruler and I did nothing that neither the British Invasion or the Jaded Hearts would have done. I get it, you’re mad because we were able to get the drop on you two, but look at it this way, you have been calling us paper champions and pushovers since the second you interfered in our match, and we won the Unified Tag Team Championships.
Ruler: It is actually very entertaining to us that you come out here crying over the same actions you have done to others and even us. What is this all about anyway? And first are we sorry for intervening and getting involved in what you thought was your match at Pain For Pride? No, it’s OUR match now too. But I digress. What was this about? The Unified Tag Team Championships and simply put, Jaded Hearts are the winningest tag champs of all time, we were former tag team champions, you two have won nothing.
(Alex and Ruler both sarcastically smile at The British Invasion who in turn tilt their heads and sarcastically smile back.)
Halsey Neel: That was cute, but this is not why we called you out here.
Ruler: Then what did you call us out here for ladies?
Pandora Paisley: To tell you that the Unified Tag Team Championships are all about The British Invasion’s Revolution.
(The two ladies pause; they look at each other and then back at both members of NICHOLISM.)
Pandora Paisley: Oh, and…. This, love.
(Pandora without warning….)
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA PUNT KICKED RULER RIGHT IN THE JEWELS! HE CRUMBLES OVER AS HALSEY FOREARMS ALEX MYERS!
Eve: RULER IS ON THE MAT AND PANDORA HAS JUST ASSAULTED ALEX WITH HALSEY AND THEY ARE BOTH MUGGING THEM LIKE HE STOLE THEIR WALLET!
Deadprez: THIS WAS ALL A SET UP DAWG! THAT WAS IT! A SET UP! PANDORA AND HALSEY HAVE ALEX DOWN AND THEY GRAB THEM, AND THROWS THEM INTO THE STEEL POST! THEY STUMBLE BACK AND….
Eve: PUBLIC EXECUTION!!! ALEX MYERS WAS TAKEN OUT! NOW LOOK AT THE BRITISH INVASION, THEY GRAB RULER AND SET HIM UP…..
Gavin Kirkland: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT! CAPITAL PUNISHMENT! CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
({Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel stand over the fallen NICHOLISM, they raise their hands as the fans boo, “Refuse, Resist” starts to play throughout the arena as the two look at what happened and the job they did on NICHOLISM, proud of it.)
Deadprez: This was a set up the whole time, The British Invasion lured those two into the ring and took them out just 12 days to Pain For Pride!
Eve: The British Invasion was not happy about last night, and it showed! They were able to get some measure of revenge as these two vindictive women are more than just challengers, they are arguably the most dangerous tag team out there not called The Jaded Hearts!
(The British Invasion get out of the ring and look back in the ring at their work, Pandora, and Halsey high five one another as they come around the announcers table…. The crowd starts to erupt….)
Gavin Kirkland: There they are! The NEXT Unified Tag Team Champions and….. WHAT THE HELL!
Eve: THE JADED HEARTS CAME THROUGH THE CROWD AND JUMPED THE BARRICADE! THEY ATTACK THE BRITISH INVASION FROM BEHIND! SIENNA JADE DROPS HALSEY NEEL WITH A VICIOUS FOREARM TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SHE GRABS HER AND THROWS HER INTO THE STAIRS!
(SLAM!!!!)
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART SLAMS THE HEAD OF PANDORA PAISLEY INTO THE TOP OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! SHE THEN GRABS PAISLEY AND WHIPS HER INTO THE STEEL POST! PANDORA FALLS TO HER KNEES….. WAIT A SECOND….
Gavin Kirkland: NO! KASSIDY HEART JUST RAN AND SUPER KICKED PANDORA’S FACE INTO THE STEEL POST! NO!!!! SHE SHATTERS HER NOSE! THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE!
(Pandora falls to the mats holding her face, screaming as blood drips through her hands and down her face and clothes. Kassidy turns to Sienna, signaling her to pick up Halsey.)
Eve: PANDORA IS BLEEDING ALL OVER AND HALSEY NEEL IS IN TROUBLE AS THE JADED HEARTS PICK UP HALSEY … LIFE’S A DRAG! HALSEY HAS BEEN DROPPED AS THE JADED HEARTS ARE NOT STANDING TALL! THEY LOOK INTO THE RING WHILE NICHOLISM ARE JUST STARTING TO STIR AND JUST LAUGH!
(The Jaded Hearts start to laugh as they make their way back out leaving the other two teams decimated. True Love’ by CFO$ starts to play as the Unified Tag team Champions walk off to the back.)
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT PANDORA’S BEAUTIFUL NOSE! IT’S CROOKED! NO…. I CAN’T….
Eve: GAVIN!
(Gavin Kirkland gets out of the announcer’s chair and runs over to Pandora who is screaming at The Jaded Hearts while shaking, bleeding all over herself. Gavin takes off his blazer and presses it against Pandora’s face as she holds on to him.)
Deadprez: We need medical attention out here for both teams!
(The medical staff start running out, Daryl Kinkade quickly runs out as well to check on Halsey and then Pandora, the chaotic scene has officials and staff everywhere.)
Eve: We have lost complete control of everything…. We will be right back!
(The camera quickly fades to the last commercial break of the night as all four are being tended to.)
(Showdown returns after the commercial break as it goes to ringside for the Main Event.)
(‘STFU!’ Rina Sawayama begins to play through the speakers as MIku Sakai comes out, flipping off the crowd, who begins to boo over the vulgar gesture. Then, ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen quickly plays after Dr. Bethany Blue comes out as she stands on the opposite side of Miku. The two former rivals stare at each other before ’7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande begins to play through the speakers as Veena Adams walks out with the National Elite Championship on her shoulder. She takes her place in the middle of this trio, looking at both women before making her way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS A SIX-PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF MIKU SAKAI…DR. BETHANY BLUE…M.D. AND THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… ‘THE GOLDEN STAR’…VEENA ADAMS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Before I continue, Pandora’s nose is broken, and bad.
Eve: Gavin, I know you like her, but you need to be professional about this.
Gavin Kirkland: Whatever… anyway this might be one of the most cunning teams that we’ve ever seen! Miku Sakai, Dr. Bethany Blue, and Veena Adams in one team? All of my kinks in one team —
Eve: Gavin, we are not going to let you continue that. These are three different women with three different personalities. All of them have had issues with each other at some point of their careers. Now, they are forced to team here against another star studded team.
Deadprez: We have Veena Adams who is forced to team with one of the women who will face her at Pain for Pride for the National Elite Championship. You have Dr. Bethany Blue who will be looking to face Adam Lucas at Pain for Pride! Adam and Raven Roberts are in that opposing team and I can’t imagine how all of this is going to go!
(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi begins to play through the speakers as Jon Kelton comes out as he has his sights towards the women already inside the ring. Then, ‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low begins to sound through the speakers was Raven Roberts stands next to Jon Kelton. The two exchange looks at each other before ‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil begins to play through the speakers as Adam Lucas comes out. His sights towards Dr. Bethany Blue are inside the ring, but he does acknowledge the two other Elitists to his right side. Now, the three of them make their way into the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE LAST HOPE’…JON KELTON, ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’… RAVEN ROBERTS AND … ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’…ADAM LUCAS!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, here’s a team that has the better chance of getting along here. Despite Jon Kelton’s actions towards the Showdown roster this past season, I don’t think they’re opposed to working with him if they have the common goal among them. That, plus with Daryl Kinkade watching this match up closely, he wants to do everything in his power to make sure that he has some momentum for Pain for Pride!
Eve: We also have the other women who will partake in the Triple Threat match at Pain for Pride against Veena Adams and Miku Sakai. Raven Roberts returned back in November, and this will be her biggest opportunity since her return as she has the opportunity to get that Grand Slam!
Deadprez: That would be great for her! We also are aware of the issues between Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue that have been building up over the past couple of months! I’m wondering if this match will make this situation worse for them? But, I suppose, we’re going to find that out, right now!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like Dr. Bethany Blue is looking to start this match off for her team! We love seeing ‘The Doctor’ take one for the team! We look at the opposite end and it’s Adam Lucas, who is starting things off with her team as Bethany looks to be surprised that Adam is willing to do that!
(The crowd begins to boo.)
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue backs away to her corner and tags in Miku Sakai! Bethany saw that Adam Lucas was going to take part in this match and tagged Miku into the match as the referee counted that as a tag! Adam is trying to look past Miku as he stares at Bethany, who is aware of what exactly she had done, but there’s complete silence with her as she goes back to her corner! Now, we see Miku shake her head at the whole ordeal as she enters the ring! Still, we are seeing that Adam is trying to talk to Bethany, but Bethany is paying no attention to him —
Deadprez: BUT, MIKU SAKAI RACES RIGHT AFTER HIM WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK AS THAT TAKES HIM TO THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES! THERE, WE SEE MIKU BEGIN TO UNLOAD ON THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION WITH LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS! ADAM LUCAS IS LOOKING TO PUSH THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION AWAY, BUT MIKU IS NOT LOOKING TO LET ADAM FIND ANY SORT OF OPENING! SHE GRABS HIM BY A FISTFUL OF HIS HAIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HIP ATTACK AS IT TAKES ADAM BACK! MIKU FOLLOWS THAT UP BY FLIPPING OFF RAVEN ROBERTS AT THE OPPOSING CORNER AND CONNECTING WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE RIBS OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! MIKU GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas kicks out! Miku Sakai rises back to her feet as she gets a good hold of the back of Adam’s head before throwing him head first against the turnbuckle at the corner! Adam turns himself around as Miku begins to connect with some stomps to the gut of Adam! We see that the stomps are strong enough to take the ‘The Next Level’ to a seated position on the second rope! Miku takes a stance before sending herself forward and connects with a knife edge chop to the chest of Adam! Adam begins to hold onto his chest, totally feeling the sting of that! Miku connects with another knife edge chop to the chest of Adam! BUT, ADAM BEGINS TO GET HIMSELF INTO A VERTICAL BASE AS BEGINS TO THROW A PUNCH! AND ANOTHER ONE AS HE LOOKS TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! MIKU IS GOING BACK! ADAM GETS MIKU BY HER HAND AS HE WHIPS HER TO THE CORNER THAT HE PREVIOUSLY WAS IN! MIKU GOES CRASHING TO THAT CORNER AS ADAM CHARGES RIGHT AT HER WITH A BODY SPLASH!
Eve: Miku Sakai collapses down to a seated position as he begins to stomp on Miku! He gets his boot and presses it to the side of Miku’s face! He looks at Dr. Bethany Blue at the corner as Bethany stares right at him! Nothing is said of those two as Adam Lucas turns his attention back to Miku! I think that the referee might need to step in and begin his count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas gets his hands up in defense as he begins to back away! Dr. Bethany Blue shakes her head as Adam waits for the ‘okay’ signal that he can resume this match with Miku Sakai! Miku is using the assistance of the ropes to help herself to her feet! She is gesturing for the former World Champion to give her his best shot! Adam seems like he’s more than willing to do that as he manages to take Miku to a knee with a knee strike to the side of the temple! There, we see that Adam is connecting with a series of punches all around the former Specialists Champion! He grabs Miku and gets her in a front headlock before raising her up and taking her back with a vertical suplex! We see that Miku finds herself into a seated position before Adam follows that up with a penalty kick to the back of her head as that knocks her to her side! Adam goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai with a kick out! Adam Lucas gets Miku by the back of her head before taking her back to his corner where Raven Roberts and Jon Kelton are at! Who is he looking to tag into this match?
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: It seems like Jon Kelton will be making his first appearance in the match! He instructs for Adam Lucas to get one arm as he goes for the other one! The two Elitists whip Miku Sakai front first against the turnbuckle at their corner! Then, Adam leaves Jon alone with Miku! He hooks her arms in a chickenwing position before connecting with a double underhook suplex to the corner! There, we see the former National Elite Champion taking a couple of steps back before charging at her and connecting with meteora to the face of Miku! He pulls her out of the corner by the leg before elevating it up and slamming it against the canvas! Miku begins to wiggle in response to the pain!
Deadprez: Jon Kelton takes that leg back to the horizontal set of ropes and begins to intertwine Miku Sakai’s leg with the bottom rope! HE TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE KICKING IN THOSE ROPES AS MIKU’S LEG FEELS THAT SHARP PAIN! ‘THE LAST HOPE’ BEGINS TO GET ON THE LEG OF MIKU! HIS ENTIRE WEIGHT IS ON MIKU’S LEG! YOU CAN SEE MIKU CRYING OUT IN PAIN AS JON IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO EXPLOIT THAT TARGETED LEG!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HER, JON!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton gets off of Miku Sakai’s leg! Now, we see that Jon is getting the leg of the former Specialists Champion as he looks to connect with a figure four leg lock on Miku! Miku is shaking her head ‘no’ as she knows that she’ll be getting herself into some trouble — DR. BETHANY BLUE TRIES TO STEP INSIDE THE RING TO HELP OUT HER PARTNER! NOW, THAT SEEMS TO BE A SURPRISE SINCE THESE TWO HAVE A HISTORY OF BITTERNESS! BUT, ADAM LUCAS LOOKS TO GET HIMSELF BACK IN THE RING TO GO AFTER BETHANY, BUT BETHANY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING BEFORE ADAM COULD INTERACT WITH HER IN SOME WAY! THE CROWD IS NOT TOO PLEASED ABOUT THAT!
Eve: Jon Kelton was focused on Dr. Bethany Blue for a moment, but still maintained sight on Miku Sakai! Miku finds an opening and goes to her corner as we see Veena Adams tag herself back into the match! It’s interesting to see her take the initiative for her team!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Deadprez: We are seeing the two Elitists who were in a rivalry of their own that originated about a year ago on Showdown! Jon Kelton did the unthinkable by taking the National Elite Championship from Veena Adams at last year’s Pain for Pride! Veena would regain the title at Road to Redemption! Now, these two meet once again as the crowd can feel the tension between these two Elitists! The two Elitists circle around, looking for an opening to lock up as Jon manages to connect with a knee to the gut of ‘The Golden Star!’ Then, he takes Veena in a side headlock, but Veena manages to push herself out of the headlock! She charges right after Jon, who looks to take her down with a clothesline! But, Veena does a front handspring into the vertical set of ropes before spring boarding herself and connecting with a back fist as that takes Jon to a knee! Then, we see Veena pick up Jon and connect with a spinning headlock elbow drop that she likes to call ‘A Dark Turn!’ She takes Jon down as Veena goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: ‘The Last Hope’ with the kick out! Veena Adams rises up to her feet as she uses her hand to push the face of Jon Kelton! It seems like Veena is feeling herself fired up as she continues to shove the face of the former National Elite Champion! But, it seems like Jon is not being amused by what Veena is doing! Instead, it seems like he’s pissed off! He finds a way to his feet as Veena races forward and looks to connect with a knee strike! But, Jon manages to catch her by surprise before taking her back with an exploder suplex! Veena is clutching to her lower back as she tries to find a way back to her feet! Jon goes right after her and connects with meteora as that sends Veena back to the corner! Now, we see Jon connecting with a series of mudhole stomps to the champion!
Eve: Jon Kelton is finding himself fired up as he picks up Veena Adams by the chin and says a couple of things before getting her arm and looking to whip her to the corner diagonally from them! BUT, VEENA MANAGES TO COUNTER THAT WHIP AS HE SENDS JON CRASHING TO THE CORNER! VEENA CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK TO JON AT THE CORNER AS THAT CAUSES HIM TO STAGGER FORWARD! VEENA FOLLOWS THAT UP BY CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG AS SHE TAKES HIM DOWN! THEN, SHE GOES OVER TO JON’S CORNER AND THROWS A PUNCH TO RAVEN ROBERTS AS THAT SENDS HER DOWN! VEENA WITH A CHEAP SHOT AS RAVEN DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! ADAM LUCAS TRIES TO GET HIMSELF INVOLVED BY GETTING INSIDE THE RING AS THE REFEREE GOES TO DEAL WITH HIM! THEN, WE SEE VEENA WHIP JON TO HER CORNER WITH DR. BETHANY BLUE AND MIKU SAKAI! AND, IT’S BETHANY, WHO BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A ROPE CHOKE BEHIND THE REFEREE’S BACK!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is trying to point at the referee at what’s going on, but Dr. Bethany Blue manages to jump off the apron and have her hands up before the referee manages to turn himself around! Veena Adams gets Jon Kelton and connects with a judo throw as she sends the former National Elite Champion in front of her! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S NOT DONE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER JUDO THROW, DISPLAYING THAT ADAMS’ FAMILY STRENGTH THAT WOULD MAKE ANY ELITIST ENVY THEM! VEENA JUMPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF JON AND CONNECTS WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK AS SHE SENDS HIM TO HIS BACK! VEENA WITH THE PIN ATTEMPT HERE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena Adams with a kick out! She stalks Jon Kelton up to his feet before connecting with a double knee arm breaker and then, following that up with a kneeling arm bar! Veena calls that ‘Snapped’ as she manages to trap Jon in the middle of the ring! Veena has her hands out, embracing the reception of the crowd! Love her or hate her, but you cannot take your eyes off of her, Eve and DP! Veena is staring daggers at Raven Roberts, who is picking herself up from the floor after Raven had punched her! Raven shakes her head as she begins to slam her hand against the top rope, rallying Jon to find himself back into this match! Adam begins to stomp his foot on the canvas in a rhythmic kind of fashion as the crowd soon follows by stomping and giving Jon some of their energy!
Eve: It seems like it is causing Jon Kelton to scramble! Jon is beginning to scratch and claw for the nearest bottom rope! He can’t allow himself to fall short, knowing that Daryl Kinkade is somewhere watching this match! But, the energy from the crowd is causing him to drag his body as Veena Adams is shaking her head, knowing that she may find herself in a situation where she won’t be able to get herself out! No! It seems like she is standing up as she still has possession of Jon’s leg as she tries to pull him back! But, Jon manages to use his free leg to push Veena away! NO! IT SEEMS LIKE VEENA IS ABLE TO GET HIS OTHER LEG AS JON IS MOVING SIDE-TO-SIDE, TRYING TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE GRASP OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! VEENA HAS HER BACK TURNED TO HER CORNER AS SHE CATAPULTS JON AS HIS FACE COLLIDES WITH THE TURNBUCKLE! JON FALLS DOWN AS VEENA TAGS IN DR. BETHANY BLUE INTO THE MATCH!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Deadprez: Dr. Bethany Blue finds herself in this match! She picks up Jon Kelton by his wrist before connecting with a ripcord forearm to the face as that sends ‘The Last Hope’ to one knee! Then, we see Bethany pull Jon into a front headlock as she connects with a front suplex as she causes Jon to land right on his ribs! Yikes, that might have hurt there! We see Bethany follow that up with a knee drop to the back of Jon’s skull! That might have Jon dizzy for the time being! Bethany picks up Jon by the nape of the neck! She takes him to the horizontal set of ropes and begins to apply a rope choke! But, look at this! She uses her hands to open the mouth of the former National Elite Champion as she chokes him! The crowd doesn’t seem to be too crazy about that, but Bethany has never been the one to care about public reception!
Gavin Kirkland: Dr. Bethany Blue might look to inflict some pain in this match and fix you up later and that’s the type of woman that I need in my life!
Eve: You know that her husband is literally in this same match, right? He can probably hear anything that’s going on.
Gavin Kirkland: With the path they’re going down, I wouldn’t be shocked if an ‘ex’ goes right before husband by the end of the season! Who needs vanilla Adam Lucas when she can go for a stud muffin like me?
Deadprez: You’re the reason why women choose the bear.
Eve: Agreed.
Gavin Kirkland: You guys are no fun! Dr. Bethany Blue manages to step away from Jon Kelton as she’s busy dealing with the referee! Then, we see Miku Sakai on the apron as she connects with a running hip attack to the side of Jon Kelton’s skull! But, look at this! Raven Roberts jumps off the apron and goes right after Miku, who looks to retreat back to her corner! Raven is not liking the dirty games that the other team has been doing throughout this match! She gets face-to-face with Veena Adams! Veena is more than looking to shut down the shit that Raven is looking to progress! Meanwhile, we see Dr. Bethany Blue stalking Jon up to his feet before she hits the ‘TJD’ — her variation of the superkick as Jon manages to duck out of the way! Bethany stumbles forward, unable to stop herself! Jon races back to his corner as he tags in —
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: Jon Kelton tags in Adam Lucas! Dr. Bethany Blue is shaking her head as she does not want to have this confrontation! Meanwhile, it seems like Adam more than wants to settle things inside this ring! Adam goes right after her, BUT BETHANY ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING! SHE’S IN CLEAR PANIC AS FIND HERSELF IN THE SIGHTS OF RAVEN ROBERTS, WHO WAS DEALING WITH VEENA ADAMS! I THINK THAT BETHANY MAY HAVE GOTTEN HERSELF IN A TOUGH SITUATION TO A TOUGHER SITUATION! ADAM SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AS HE LOOKS TO TALK WITH BETHANY, BUT BETHANY SWINGS A PUNCH TO RAVEN AS THAT CAUSES HER TO FALL BACK TO ADAM! BUT, RAVEN SWINGS BACK AT BETHANY WITH A PUNCH! THESE TWO HAD SOME ISSUES WITH EACH OTHER BACK IN THE VOLTAGE DAYS! NOW, THESE TWO ARE SLUGGING IT OUT WITH EACH OTHER AS ADAM LOOKS TO PULL RAVEN AWAY FROM BETHANY —
Deadprez: You can tell that Raven Roberts wants a fight as she marches back to apron and demands for Adam Lucas to tag her into the match! Adam has some hesitation about letting Raven into the match! But, who is he to deny her of a fight? If Bethany won’t face him, she might face Raven! Adam rolls himself back inside the ring and goes over to the corner to tag in Raven into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW, WE HAVEN’T SEEN RAVEN ROBERTS IN THIS MATCH, BUT I AM MORE THAN READY TOO! BUT, RAVEN, AS FAST AS SHE POSSIBLY COULD, REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND SENDS HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE BEFORE TRANSITIONING THAT INTO A CANADIAN DESTROYER — ‘FLIGHT DESTROYER’ ON THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! SHE CAUSES THE BACK OF BETHANY’S HEAD TO GO BACK! BUT, WE SEE THAT VEENA ADAMS IS GOING AFTER A SPEAR, HOMAGE TO ‘UNCLE RYAN,’ BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO SIDE STEP AS SHE THROWS VEENA INTO THE BARRICADE WITH BETHANY! BUT, LOOK AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! IT’S MIKU SAKAI! MIKU CONNECTS WITH AN ASAI MOONSAULT AS SHE LANDS RIGHT ON THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! MIKU IS HYPING HERSELF UP! SHE IS FEELING GOOD ABOUT HERSELF! BUT, ADAM HOPES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDS A CROSSBODY ON THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! HE TAKES MIKU DOWN!
Eve: BUT, WE’RE NOT DONE HERE! JON KELTON MANAGES TO GO OVER THE TOP ROPE AS HE CONNECTS WITH A SOMERSAULT PLANCHA AS HE LANDS RIGHT ON VEENA ADAMS AND DR. BETHANY BLUE, WHO WERE SCRAMBLING UP ON THEIR FEET! Adam Lucas goes over to Raven Roberts and rolls her back inside the ring! It seems like Adam is buying Raven some time to recuperate as he stares at his wife looking to pick herself up to her feet! After all, it’s Raven Roberts and Dr. Bethany Blue who are the legal Elitists in this match up! Slowly, we see that Bethany is finding her way back up to her feet as she slides out of the ring! Raven is using the assistance of the ropes to pick herself up! She gets Bethany and connects with a hip toss as Bethany falls into a seated position in front of ‘The Bird of Prey!’
Deadprez: Raven Roberts gets in front of Dr. Bethany Blue before connecting with a back handspring into a low dropkick as she takes Bethany to her back! Raven goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Dr. Bethany Blue with a kick out! Raven Roberts gets Bethany and gets her in position and takes her back with a t-bone suplex! Raven gets to her feet as she makes sure to stay on the defense! She picks up Bethany and takes her back with a northern light suplex as she has such a beautiful bridge applied! She has Bethany for another cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue with a kick out! But, it seems like Raven Roberts is getting Bethany by oner of her arms before taking herself over and connecting with the fujiwara armbar that she likes to call ‘Wing Breaker!’ We see that Bethany is moving around, trying to get herself out of this situation! She is trying to roll to her side, but Raven is bending that arm back, trying to target the arm, which may not work in Raven’s favor if Bethany is looking to apply any submission holds!
Deadprez: Dr. Bethany Blue has a similar move to this! I feel like she already has this figured out! But, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt any less! BETHANY IS TRYING TO ROLL HERSELF TO HER SIDE, WILLING TO RISK THE TARGETED ARM! RAVEN IS WRENCHING THAT ARM BACK, BUT BETHANY MANAGES TO ROLL RAVEN IN A CRUCIFIX PIN AS BETHANY LOOKS TO SNEAK AWAY WITH THE VICTORY HERE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts manages to roll herself out of the crucifix pin attempt, but she has Dr. Bethany Blue by her arm still! Raven pulls Bethany by that same arm to connect with a forearm to the face that causes ‘The Doctor’ to fall to a knee! Then, we see Raven get Bethany in a powerbomb position as she takes her up! BUT, WE SEE THAT BETHANY IS THROWING PUNCHES TO THE TOP OF RAVEN’S HEAD! STILL, IT SEEMS LIKE RAVEN IS LOOKING TO TRY TO FIND HER DIRECTION AS SHE MANAGES TO THROW BETHANY INTO THE ROPES AS THAT CAUSES BETHANY TO COLLAPSE DOWN! RAVEN FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SHARP HIGH ANGLE DROPKICK TO THE SKULL OF THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION AS THAT NEARLY KNOCKS HER OUT OF THE RING!
Eve: Now, we see Raven Roberts pick up Dr. Bethany Blue, getting her in a front headlock before lifting her up and placing her on the top rope from her stomach! It almost seems like Bethany is the seesaw with her body going up and down! Raven takes a couple of steps back before running forward and flips Bethany down and back inside the ring with a giant boot to the side of her skull! Now, Raven is turning her attention towards her Pain for Pride opponents! Veena Adams and Miku Sakai are staring down at Raven! Miku is delivering her own set of trash talking and I don’t think that Disney would want us to repeat what she has said! Heck, I don’t think EAW wants us!
Deadprez: Meanwhile, you have Veena Adams, who is calm about the situation! She matches the stare of one of the women who will be looking to take the title from her! Raven Roberts turns herself around to focus on Dr. Bethany Blue who is starting to get herself into a crawling position! Raven picks up Bethany, getting her into position before taking a couple of steps back, waiting for Bethany to rise into the perfect height before charging towards her with a tilt-a-whirl as she keeps that for a moment before taking Bethany down with the stunner that Raven likes to call ‘Beak Breaker!’ This might smell like the beginning of the end for our resident Doctor!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts goes back as she’s gesturing for Dr. Bethany Blue to find herself up to her feet as Bethany turns herself around! Raven runs towards Bethany as she hits ‘Talon’ — that claymore kick that we’ve seen time after time again! BUT, BETHANY MANAGES TO SIDE STEP AS RAVEN GOES CRASHING DOWN! NOW, WE SEE BETHANY CONNECTING WITH A METEORA TO RAVEN WHO WAS STARTING TO FIND HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION! THE REFEREE GOES TO CHECK ON RAVEN!
(Dr. Bethany Blue looks at Raven Roberts who was taken down with that meteora as she goes back to her corner where her white lab coat was folded nicely. She looks into one of the pockets of the coat before pulling out a needle and a small bottle of Suxamethonium chloride or in short terms, Sux.)
Eve: We’ve seen Dr. Bethany Blue do this before! She did this to Solomon Stane back at King of Elite! This is what caused Bethany to get the upper hand on Solomon! Now, she plans on doing the same thing to Raven Roberts! Bethany stabs the needle into the bottom of Sux as she tells Miku Sakai to make herself useful and do something to grab the attention of the referee!
Deadprez: The fact that Miku Sakai is more than willing to do that to someone who she’s had differences with in the past is mind blowing, but if it means winning, why not? Dr. Bethany Blue is hiding that needle behind her back as she looks to set her plan into motion! Miku Sakai gets herself on the opposite side of the apron as she yells for the referee to focus his attention on her! The referee does that! Now, Bethany is staring down at Raven as she reveals the syringe and looks to inject —
Gavin Kirkland: —SOMEONE GRABS DR. BETHANY BLUE’S ARM BEFORE SHE COULD LUNGE IT FORWARD TO INJECT RAVEN ROBERTS WITH THE SUX!
Eve: It’s Adam Lucas, Gavin! Once again, Adam steps in to make sure that Dr. Bethany Blue does not inject anyone with the needle! But, he’s doing more than that! He is looking to pry the needle away from Bethany! But Bethany is not allowing Adam to take the needle away! The married couple are pulling the syringe to their side! Bethany is not even looking at Adam, but Adam is looking to tell Bethany not to do this! This isn’t the way to win as Adam told her with TLA back at Grand Rampage!
Deadprez: The two of them are fighting over the syringe as Raven Roberts begins to rise back to her feet as she looks to take advantage of the situation and catch Dr. Bethany Blue by surprise —
(As Adam Lucas was fighting for the syringe, he accidentally pushes Dr. Bethany Blue’s hand into Raven Roberts’ shoulder, injecting the Sux into her system. This causes ‘The Bird of Prey’ to begin feeling the results of the Sux into her system as she collapses to the ground, feeling her body going completely numb. Adam is in complete shock at what he just caused as Bethany looks more than okay with what just happened.)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ADAM LUCAS DOESN’T HAVE MUCH TIME TO FULLY COME TO TERMS WITH WHAT HE JUST DID AS VEENA ADAMS RACES TO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE AS THAT TAKES THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION DOWN! THIS CAUSES ADAM TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING BUT VEENA TOPS THAT UP WITH A CROSSBODY OVER THE TOP ROPE AS SHE MAKES SURE THAT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO KEEP ADAM DOWN!
Eve: AS YOU LOOK AT RINGSIDE, WE SEE JON KELTON LOOKING TO END THIS WHOLE SITUATION WITH MIKU SAKAI DISTRACTING THE OFFICIAL! THE TWO OF THEM BEGIN TO FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER! TRADING PUNCHES BACK-AND-FORTH! BUT, AS YOU LOOK INSIDE THE RING, BETHANY SEES THAT THE SUX HAS TOTALLY ENTERED THE SYSTEM OF RAVEN ROBERTS! BETHANY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Jon Kelton had tried to race back to the ring on time, but at this point, it happened to be too late. ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ begins to blare through the speakers as Veena Adams is already at top of the apron as she demands for the National Elite Championship. Miku Sakai is pointing and laughing at Jon Kelton who wasn’t able to get to the ring on time. Then, we see Dr. Bethany Blue sliding out of the ring before she could find herself facing any backlash for what she did.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH…THE TEAM OF DR. BETHANY BLUE, MIKU SAKAI, AND THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION…VEENA ADAMS!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Dr. Bethany Blue manages to secure the victory for her team thanks to a little syringe full of Sux, which causes Raven Roberts to go into paralysis! She didn’t have the ability to move herself!
(Adam Lucas is more than furious at what he had just done as he manages to check on Raven Roberts, who is still feeling the side effects, not being able to get back to her feet. He is apologizing to Raven, who still seems to be a bit out of it due to the strength of the medication. Meanwhile, as you look up the ramp, you can see that Miku Sakai, Dr. Bethany Blue and Veena Adams are all smiling at getting the upper hand on the ‘good guys’ of this match up.)
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas might have done Dr. Bethany Blue a favor by helping her inject that needle —
Eve: Adam Lucas didn’t mean to do that, Gav!
Deadprez: It was something that was never meant to happen! It’s such a shame to conclude Showdown on this note! Unfortunately, that’s all the time we have! Signing off for Gavin Kirkland and Eve, I am Deadprez! Goodnight from Pensacola, Florida!
(The last shot is of Dr. Bethany Blue laughing before putting her arms around Miku Sakai and Veena Adams who both stop, turn toward Bethany who doesn’t have a care in the world, the champion and her Pain For Pride opponent both shrug their shoulders and turn back to laugh with her.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
