Mikaela Street
(EAW Intro plays…)
(RECAP–Last week, the Blue Brand of Showdown emanated from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The show started with General Manager Kennedy Street and Impact coming to the ring talking about why they did what they did to Ms. Extreme last week before Ms. Extreme came to the ring and said that she wanted their match at Pain for Pride to be UNSANCTIONED before they broke down into a fight and Camille left Impact laying. The first match of the evening had the team of Komatsu Ogawa and Lucas Johnson defeating Rain Kasey and Jamie Kazuki. Backstage, Kyra Phillips interviews Lexi, who talks about what she did last week as well as the opportunity at Pain for Pride and vowing to come out victorious. The next match has Showdown’s Michael Machina defeating Voltage’s Korey Gaines and Dynasty’s Delilah Rose to continue his undefeated streak.
(The recap plays on as Drake Armstrong and Kennedy Street are backstage talking about what happened earlier and last week before Kennedy tells Drake that his servant period is over and he can do what he pleases, but he chooses to stand by Kennedy’s side.The next match has Jack Ripley defeating Ashlynn Quinn before Jon Kelton catches Jack with a spear. Earlier in the day, Mikaela Street interviewed Hans Grayson, who talks about his season and his opportunity to win the New Breed Championship at Pain for Pride against Caroline. The next match sees Ryan Joseph Wilson defeating Holly Arrow with their respective partners as well as the Queen Bees and Off Brand Amphetamines at ringside. After the match, everything breaks down and all the teams end up fighting. )
(The recap continues with Kassidy Heart coming to the ring talking about what happened last week with her evaluation and her past with Dr. Bethany Blue before asking for Dr. Bethany Blue to drop the condition and have the match. Then Dr. Bethany Blue comes out and tells her no before Kassidy reveals the shady backgrounds of all the Doctors involved in the evaluation and then revealing that the EAW Board have thrown the evaluation out and the Glass Wallz match is still going on at Pain for Pride. The main event of the evening was a Pain for Pride rematch involving Chris Elite and Ms. Extreme with Ms. Extreme getting the victory over Elite. Finally, Answers World Champion Jake Smith comes to the ring talking about how he is a strong champion that EAW deserves and Adam isn’t. He continues to talk down to Adam before he comes to the ring retaliating against Jake’s talking and talking some trash of his own before a brawl breaks out and security have to separate the two again as Jake gets free and showboats the title before getting attacked on the ramp by Adam. The final shot shows Adam beating up Jake before being pulled away again and Jake scatters away as the recap ends.)
(“Brick Wall” by A Day to Remember starts playing as Showdown is coming live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis Tennessee. The crowd in the sold out arena are standing on their feet cheering for another exciting edition of Showdown. The crowd is going crazy with excitement for Showdown to begin as the camera pans around the arena showing as many fans as possible with their signs and merchandise before finishing at the commentary table where Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting and ready to call the action. )
Deadprez: WELCOME TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! WE ARE SIX DAYS AWAY FROM THE EVENT OF EPIC PROPORTION KNOWN AS PAIN FOR PRIDE! TONIGHT WE ARE LIVE FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE! I am Deadprez and alongside Eve and Gavin Kirkland, we will be calling all the action. Are you guys ready for tonight?
Eve: This is the last Showdown before Pain for Pride and everything is just heating up. Tonight we will be hearing from both of our Showdown Cash in the Vault representatives, Alex Myers and Donovan Duke, with Mikaela Street tonight in exclusive interviews. I can’t wait to hear what they have to say.
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOO! WE ARE SO CLOSE TO PAIN FOR PRIDE I AM SO EXCITED! We will also have a contract signing for the National Elite Championship match at Pain for Pride. Veena Adams, Jack Ripley, and Jon Kelton will make it official tonight.
Deadprez: We will also be looking at the history between Ms. Extreme and Kennedy Street. We will also be hearing from POTARA as they go into their four way match. We will also go into the history of the 24/7 Battle Royal tonight as well. A big opportunity for a competitor to get to the next step of their career.
Eve: Also tonight, we will be talking about the rivalry between Kassidy Heart and Dr. Bethany Blue. People have been asking if Kassidy Heart has finally met her match in the Universal Women’s Champion Dr. Bethany Blue?
Deadprez: Finally, we will be getting our final words from Jake Smith and Adam Lucas before the huge Answers World Championship match at Pain for Pride. Will we see another brawl tonight?
Gavin Kirkland: Prezzy, you know how much I love matches and tonight we will be reliving some of the best matches that the Showdown Brand brought to the fans. Including the amazing Davy Jones Locker Match from Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Deadprez: That was a good match, but we also can’t forget about the Elimination Chamber match for the Answers World Title at Road to Redemption. Impact took on Ryan Joseph Wilson, Donovan Duke, Xander Payne, Jon Kelton, and Adam Lucas in an amazing match.
Eve: That was great as well, but we also have one of the most violent matches of the season with Ms. Extreme and Pandora Paisley’s Last Woman Standing Match from Fighting Spirit.
Deadprez: It could be in the running for one of the most violent in EAW history. Another match will be the historic National Elite Championship match when Donovan Duke defended against Veena Adams.
Gavin Kirkland: We also can’t forget just about a month ago when Kassidy Heart won the Grand Rampage Match. First woman EVER to accomplish that.
Eve: Another match from the Grand Rampage was the Unified Tag Team Title match. POTARA taking on Soul Food Sunday for the gold.
Gavin Kirkland: What about the finals from the King of Elite Tournament. Dynasty’s Bronson Daniels took on Voltage’s Drake King and Showdown’s Adam Lucas for the chance to wear the crown.
Deadprez: The last match we will see is the outstanding Armageddon Hell in a Cell match from Reasonable Doubt. Jake Smith defending against Impact and Chris Elite. That was a hard hitting match to say the least. That will all be tonight! And we are ready to ki9ck it off! The atmosphere at these events is always off the chart but tonight, just one week removed from Pain for Pride it is that little bit more special.
Eve: So many championships matches taking place over three nights, one of those for the National Elite Championship
Gavin Kirkland: And a barnstormer of a match it promises to be.
Deadprez: We’ve that in mind, we are going to hand you over to Disney Executive Heidi Huxley who is always standing by in the ring.
(Boo’s immediately start to ring out, as the camera cuts to Heidi, who is stood dressed in a smart business suit, paying very little heed to the crowd’s reaction.)
Heidi Huxley: Yes, thank you, that you for that warm welcome. I shall forever hold it dear to my heart.
(The noise levels ramp up a little further, as Heidi continues.)
Heidi Huxley: I’m not going to lie, when I came to this company, there was very little I knew about professional wrestling. I am a businesswoman, an executive, so although I didn’t know the whys and wherefores, I did understand how to make the most of the product. That said, it would be ignorant of me to not learn about this industry that you all hold so dear to your hearts, and so that is what I did. Right from the very beginning, the shoots that grew into the behemoth that wrestling is today, I think I now have that understanding. And as such, I understand the importance, and no less the history of the National Elite Championship. To hold that title, it means something around these corridors, and as such, it is unquestionable that the match for that very Championship is of high importance as we walk into the biggest show of the year.
Deadprez: She’s right of course, the National Elite Championship has always been regarded as special, and it takes a special individual to carry it.
Gavin Kirkland: And some of the very best have done precisely that.
Heidi Huxley: I’ve taken a lot of pride with the way things have gone on Showdown this season, and although I know that Kennedy takes most of the credit and rightfully so, I have been a part of that as well. A part that has seen Veena Adams rise from the obscurity of her family’s shadow, and hold that very championship of which we speak. Veena has become a credit to this company, and not just because of her family name. Make no bones about it, at Pain for Pride, it would come as no surprise if she was to walk out STILL champion, because she’s earned the right to believe that. So, without further ado, I give you the reigning National Elite Champion… Veena AAAAAAADAMS!!!
(‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande hits over the speaker systems, and Veena steps out with the championship belt around her waist, Ashlynn Quinn stepping beside her. Veena flicks her hair from one side to the other, before starting to walk down to the ring, Ashlynn following her, the two of them ignoring the fans, some of them daring to try and touch her. Heidi applauds her all the way, even as they both slide into the ring, not afraid to show her obvious bias.)
Deadprez: I gotta admit, I had my doubts about Veena, but she has proven herself as quite the champion.
Eve: I don’t know, I always had this feeling she would find her niche, maybe this is it?
Gavin Kirkland: I wonder what Ryan and Kassidy are thinking right now.
Deadprez: Wouldn’t surprise me if Ryan wasn’t holding Kassidy back from coming out here.
(In the ring, Ashlynn calls for the music to end, and lifts the mic to her lips as the boos continue.)
Ashlynn Quinn: SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR CHAMPION!!!
(Predictably, the boos get louder.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Very predictable, and oh so disrespectful. I mean, you’re too busy cheering someone as vanilla as Adam Lucas aren’t you? Or Alex Myers? You wouldn’t know true talent if it came up and slapped you around the face. Forget, all the rest, Veena Adams is your queen, the single greatest champion of ALL time, and the most talented Adams that ever lived…
Deadprez: Well, she has a death wish.
Ashlynn Quinn: … and let it be known, mother WILL walk out of Pain for Pride still the National Elite Champion. Take that to the bank.
(Ashlynn passes the mic respectfully to Veena, who adjusts the protection mask that she is still wearing after the damage caused a few weeks ago. She pauses for a few moments, the crowd trying to drown her out but not succeeding.)
Veena Adams: This is so unfair. I am obviously still not 100% from my injuries. I mean, it will still be too much for my opponents, but still. I shouldn’t have to demean myself in this way, and I shouldn’t have to defend my championship against two individuals who have proven themselves every bit the failure that I most certainly am not. Heidi, I should be celebrated and Pain for Pride, and I shouldn’t be involved in a match that is hardly worth my time. What do you say?
(She turns to Heidi, who shrugs her shoulders. She had her orders, and she was going to play them to the letter.)
Heidi Huxley: What do I say Veena? That’s simple. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the second part of this triple threat match… Jack RIIIIIIIIPLEY!!!!
(‘Blue World’ by Mac Miller kicks in, and Jack steps out onto the ramp way looking more than a little confident. He had waited for this opportunity for what seemed like an eternity, and he wasn’t going to let it go now. Veena says something inaudible to Heidi, who shakes her head, Jack starting his way down to the ring.)
Eve: You cannot say for one second that Jack Ripley doesn’t have the credentials. He’s seen and done it all. Now, having spent some time on what he calls the sidelines, he’s looking to retake his spot, and this is the beginning.
Deadprez: Arguably, many people believe he walks into this match as the favorite.
(Jack reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope, before getting to his feet and holding up his hand for his music to cut. With a look at Heidi, then Ashlynn, and finally Veena he starts to speak.)
Jack Ripley: Not worth your time? By the way, the mask makes a massive improvement. I can actually look at you now.
(A ripple of laughter comes from the crowd, annoying Veena still further.)
Jack Ripley: But come on Veena, are you really going to play this game where you are trying to persuade everyone I am beneath you.
Veena Adams: You ARE beneath me.
Jack Ripley: No Veena, I’m not. See, you might hold that title for now, but my career has brought many championships in my time, and I’m not defined by any of them. I should be competing for the Answers World Championship, but for now, your belt will do nicely. See Veena, there is a very good reason why I have been inducted into the EAW Hall of Fame, and it’s not because I got lucky with one championship reign, it’s because I have a list of accolades as long as my arm…
Ashlynn Quinn: NOBODY CARES!!!
(Jack pauses, and then makes a move for Ashlynn who immediately gets scared and hides herself behind Heidi.)
Jack Ripley: So help me God, you interrupt me again girl and I’ll ram your head so far up Veena’s ass, you’ll be eating her shit for weeks. Then you, and everyone else will care. When I end this season as Champion, and move onto the next with Gold around my waist.
Voice: NO!!!
(All eyes go to the ramp where Jon Kelton is standing, Londyn Zelaya stepping out with him. Heidi looks more than a little miffed that she wasn’t able to give him an introduction, but he doesn’t care about that and starts making his way down the ramp.)
Deadprez: Jon Kelton not waiting for his cue. He’s coming out here when he wants.
Eve: You sound like you are surprised.
(Jon lifts the mic and speaks as he walks.)
Jon Kelton: No more am I looking to gain ‘experience’ that will hold me in good stead going forwards. Screw the near misses because there shall be no more. I’ve come so damn close, so many times, and to hell with that pain. I don’t care what either of you say, neither of you are going to stop me this time.
(He nips up onto the apron, and then immediately bends through the strands, stepping into Jack’s face.)
Jon Kelton: No one is ever going to look down on me again. NO ONE. Not you Jack, and certainly not you ‘champ’…
(He turns to Veena, who shakes her head.)
Jon Kelton: I’m starting next season the way I mean to go on, as a Champion. And by next season’s end, you will all refer to me as YOUR Answers World Champion. Because I’m done with failure. Failure, like the two of you, can kiss my ass.
(He steps back, as Heidi points to the contract on the table.)
Heidi Huxley: Before this gets out of hand, let’s get this done. Jack, please sign the contract.
Jack Ripley: With pleasure.
(Jack walks over to the table, and quickly signs it without even reading it.)
Heidi Huxley: Thank you Jack. Jon, if you would?
(Jon Kelton just sneers, and puts the pen on the contract, looking directing into the eyes of both Jack and Veena as he signs.)
Heidi Huxley: Thank you Jon. And finally, Veena, could you please make this official?
Veena Adams: We are really doing this? On the biggest show of them all?
Heidi Huxley: Yes Veena. We are doing this.
Veena Adams: I can’t believe after everything I have done for you; you’re making me fight these two losers. Ah well, I can only fight what I am given I guess.
(Veena signs the contract and cheers go up.)
Deadprez: It’s official at last… YOU’LL FLOAT TOO to Veena Adams…NOOOOO, Ashlynn pushes Veena out the way and takes the shot herself!
Eve: Ashlynn crashes to ringside, she cannot catch a break right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Huge right hand from Jon on Jack Ripley sends him backwards to the ropes…
Deadprez: SPEEEEEAR!!! Veena Adams almost cuts Jon Kelton in two out of nowhere. Jon never saw it coming!!!
Eve: And Veena is now getting out of dodge…
(Veena grabs the title off the table, and starts running up the ramp, Ashlynn holding her chin and following her as quickly as she can. Jon gets to his feet, as Jack slides out the ring, and starts to chase Veena, Jon doing the exact same. Jon catches up with Jack Ripley, and instead of the two of them continuing the chase after the champion, they start unloading on each other, forgetting that Veena even exists or so it seems.)
Deadprez: Unbelievable guys… Jack started that with a Superkick on Ashlynn Quinn, but Veena ends it, and escaped with the title. Is that the way it’s going to go at Pain for Pride!
Eve: Who knows, but she has certainly placed down a marker!
(Veena runs through the curtain, Ashlynn behind her, as the camera then pans to Jon and Jack is still going at it.)
Gavin Kirkland: This match just went up a notch… folks, you do not want to miss this one when Pain for Pride arrives. This could be the sleeper show-stealer!
Deadprez: You reckon security is going to break them up!?!
(Camera fades as both Jon and Jack go crashing into the security barrier as it transitions to the first REVIEW of the evening.)
(As we come back from the ad for Territorial Invasion, everyone in Paris looks up as the large wooden cell starts to lower….)
Deadprez: It is Main Event time, and the Davy Jones Locker is being lowered! We all know that there is some bad blood between all eight of these individuals and for some, they will face each other at Territorial Invasion! Tonight, though is the survival of the fittest and we are about to see a war in that hellish wooden concoction!
Eve: As that ominous structure slowly lowers down, we are seeing a Wooden Cell with three layers, that each competitor will have to sift through as they wrestle in two rings.
Gavin Kirkland: It is finally down and here is Gina Romano with the introductions!
(The camera shifts to Gina Romano as she stands next to the Timekeeper’s table for the introductions….)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE DAVY JONES LOCKER MATCH AND IT WILL BE CONTESTED UNDER WARGAMES RULES!
(The crowd erupts in cheers….)
Gina Romano: IN A FEW MOMENTS BOTH TEAMS WILL BE INTRODUCED. TWO WILL START THE MATCH, AFTER FIVE MINUTES THERE WLL BE A COIN TOSS TO DETERMINE WHICH TEAM GETS TO SEND A MEMBER IN NEXT, AFTER TWO MINUTES ANOTHER COMPETITOR WILL ENTER UNTIL ALL RIGHT WRE6TLERS ARE IN AND THEN THE MATCH BEYOND BEGINS! THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION!
(The crowd continues to cheer louder.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST THE TEAM OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…IMPACT! JACK RIPLEY! THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… HARPER LEE AND KASSIDY HEART!!!!
(“M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd starts the boo. Impact walks out followed by Harper Lee, Jack Ripley and finally Kassidy Heart. The crowd continues to boo as they walk up to the first of two wooden cells at the top of the rampway. Each member of the team steps in except for one….)
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON TO ENTER THE DEMONIC STRUCTURE KNOWN AS DAVY JONES LOCKER ROOM. KASSIDY HEART LOOKS AROUND BEFORE STOPPING AT THE HUGE STRUCTURE AND LOOK AT THE SMILE ON HER FACE! THIS WOMAN HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS!
Eve: What a pick to kick off for this team and Kassidy is the first to enter the structure! She goes through the two outside layers and is now inside, rolling into the ring and standing in the middle as the camera flashes go off! Look at her eyes! Glaring right at the entranceway!
Gavin Kirkland: That woman is scary! Have you ever seen her look like that!
(As Kassidy waits in the cage, the theme fades and it transitions to “Polaris” by Blue Encount as the crowd bursts in cheers.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! THE TEAM OF JAKE SMITH! CHRIS ELITE! HOLLY ARROW AND XANDER PAYNE!!!!
(All four walk out, they stare down the three in the wooden cell before entering in, except for on as Jake Smith fists bumps them….)
Deadprez: HOLLY ARROW IS GOING TO START FOR HER TEAM AND SHE LOOKS READY ALL DRESSED LIKE THE PIRATE LUFFY WITH HER STRAW HAT AND RED JACKET! HER GEAR INSPIRED BY THE ANIME CHARACTER!
Gavin Kirkland: How do you know this stuff!?
Deadprez: I do my homework, dawg! SHE NOW IS TAKING OFF HER JACKET AND GETTING RIGHT TO THE DOOR AS THE REFEREE’S WATCH HER WALK IN AND THEN LOCK IT BEHIND HER. HOLLY ROLLS INTO THE RING AS BOTH WOMEN GLARE AT ONE ANOTHER! THIS IS IT!
Eve: We are going to start hot here tonight with two of the most talented women on the roster and this is Kassidy’s domain, she excels in these type of matches but if I know Holly Arrow, she is ready!
Gavin Kirkland: We are starting with two kweens! Let’s do this!
(Both teams are locked in their cages, the referee turns to both on the outside as it is only Holly and Kassidy…. And he calls for the bell and the match to start…)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(Kassidy Heart and Holly Arrow circle the ring, the fans cheer loudly as the Main Event has begun, they lock up….)
Deadprez: Two powerful women locking up! This is it; they will wrestle for five minutes and then we will see what happens moving forward on who gets the advantage when they flip the coin and determine which team sends out the first member and put the other in a disadvantage! Kassidy and Holly lock up, Kassidy drops to a knee to get the advantage, locking in a side headlock! Holly Arrow quickly pushes off and Kassidy bounces off the ropes, SHOULDER BLOCK AND KASSIDY GOES DOWN!
Eve: She quickly scurries to the ropes, getting back up and Holly tries to smother her in the corner! NO! Kassidy Heart gets out of the way! Holly puts on the breaks and turns, Kassidy with a quick hip toss, Holly gets back up and Kassidy charges with a clothesline, NO! Holly with a Matrix and she misses, turning around and Holly SLAMS KASSIDY! Kassidy gets back up, and she gets slammed again! Kassidy though gets back up one more time, Holly picks her up… Kassidy slips from behind…. Release German suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Holly took all of that! She was folded like an accordion and my girl is hurt! The best thing to od is beat your opponent down for five minutes so that when the coin flips they are ready for what could be a two on one situation! Kassidy is kicking her while she was down! Holly is trying to cover up, but Kassidy is so vicious with her strikes! Picking her up and whipping Holly into the ropes, she goes for a huge lariat, Holly ducks and turns around quickly… kick to the midsection!
(Holly stuns Kassidy and tries to hit a swinging neck breaker…..)
Deadprez: NO! Kassidy pumps the breaks and throws Holly over as she lands hard on the mat! Holly is getting back up, but Kassidy grabs her by the tights…. And THROWS HER RIGHT INTO THE WOODEN CAGE! IT SHIFTED WHEN HOLLY HIT IT! SHE FALLS BACK HOLDING HER HEAD AND NOW KASSIDY IS STARTING TO KICK HER IN THE FACE, HOLLY AGAIN TRYING TO COVER UP BUT THIS TIME KASSIDY GRABS HER BY THE HAIR, WHIPPING HER ONE MORE TIME INTO THE WOOD AND HOLLDY FALLS AFTER A FACE FULL OF BAMBOO.
(Kassidy walks around gloating about it to the crowd, she cracks a smirk, still keeping her eyes on the prize being none other than a downed Holly. Kassidy turns to Holly’s team and smiles, before picking up Holly by the hair….)
Eve: SNAPMARE BY THE HAIR, KASSIDY ROLLS IT IN HER HAND AND DOES ANOTHER SNAPMARE BY THE HAIR, THIS TIME SHE HITS A SWIFT STIFF KICK TO THE BACK OF HOLLY AND LOOK HOW METHODICAL KASSIDY IS! SHE IS PICKING HER OPPONENT APART AND HAS ABOUT THREE MORE MINUTES TO DO SO IN THIS MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: She is doing everything right! Trying to take Holly out of it early in case her team loses the coin toss! Kassidy grabs Holly and lifts her over the shoulder running toward the bamboo wall….NO! She falls behind Kassidy and pushes her into the ropes, SNAP POWERSLAM! Holly finally has an opening and both of these women slapping meat is so awesome! She picks up Kassidy and RICORD KNEE! SHE IS STUNNED! RIPCORD FOREARM AFTER FOREARM! KASSIDY IS WOBBLY ON HER FEET AND LARIAT BY HOLLY!
Deadprez: Remember! There are no pinfalls or submissions until ALL eight wrestlers are in the ring! These two women still have about two minutes or so left before the next competitor comes out! Kassidy is down and Holly runs against the ropes, huge leg drop! She rolls back on her feet, another leg drop! Holly picks her back up by the hair Throwing her to the small layer between the two rings, Kassidy lands hard on the steel! Holly is climbing the ropes; she is between both rings! STOMP ON KASSIDY! HER BACK WAS AGAINST THE STEEL COVER BETWEEN THE TWO RINGS! HOLLY IS HOPPING UP AND DOWN ON THE ABDOMEN OF KASSIDY AS SHE TRIES TO TAKE ALL THE AIR OUT OF KASSIDY!
(Holly continues to hop up and down on Kassidy, she stops though, Kassidy rolls into the second ring, and Holly waits while in the middle of the two rings as Kassidy slowly gets up and Holly Springboards…)
Eve: Spinning heel kick from the middle rope and she strikes Kassidy…. NO! HEART DUCKS AND HOLLY LANDS AWKWARDLY ON HER SIDE! SHE GETS UP AND SWINGING NECKBREAKER ON HOLLY! THAT WAS VICIOUS BY KASSIDY! SHE GRABS HOLLY NOW AND BACK BREAKER! HOLLY’S BACK BENT THE WRONG WAY ON HER KNEE AND KASSIDY PICKS HER UP ….. INTO A BEAR HUG! SHE HAS THE BEAR HUG LOCKED IN AND HOLLY ARROW IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!
(Kassidy has the bear hug locked tight on the lower back, she lifts Holly off her feet as the crowd starts to cheer for Holly who is in a lot of pain, trying so hard to but the strength of Kassidy which is so underrated might be too much as she starts to squeeze harder, and Holly starts to fade.)
Gavin Kirkland: The vision of Kassidy Heart muscling up another woman that is just as strong if not stronger is a sight I never thought I would see! Kassidy has her in a predicament that might be too much! Holly slowly starts to fade! She is going limp and while Kassidy may not be able to win this match this is an insurance policy! The kweens are going at it and there is still a few minutes left!
(Holly starts to go limp, Kassidy screams and squeezes more this time swinging her side to side as Holly’s hands are just hanging by her side….)
Deadprez: BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX ON HOLLY AND KASSIDY HEART IS NOW IN CONTROL!
(Kassidy again, holding her abdomen, is walking around pacing, looking at the clock and then back to her opponent. She realizes there is only a little over a minute left as she looks to set up Holly for the kill.)
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart is stalking Holly! She is watching her as Holly is trying to get up, slowly back up to her feet and …. GO TO GAWD!!! NO! HOLLY LEAP FROGGED IT! KASSIDY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, TURNS AND IS KICKED IN THE HEAD! SHE STUMBLES BACK AND CANCEL CULTURE ON KASSIDY HEART AND SHE JUST LAID OUT THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! HOLLY ARROW NOW LOOKS AT THE BAMBOO CELL….. WHAT IS SHE DOING!?
Eve: It looks like she is starting to climb the bamboo cage and looks at the fans! They are up to their feet as Holly Arrow is climbing to the very top, she is UP THERE! WHAT IS HOLLY DOING….. AND SHE HITS A FLYINF ELBOW ON KASSIDY HEART AND SHE LANDED CHEST FIRST!!!!
Crowd: TABARNAK!!!! TABARNAK!!!!! TABARNAK!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HOLLY ARROW JUST CAVED KASSIDY’S CHEST IN AND LOOK AT THE CLOCK! WE ARE AT THE TEN SECOND MARK AND THE REFEREE HAS THE COIN! HE POINTS AT JAKE WHO CALLS IT!
(The referee flips the coin in the air as Jake calls it…..)
Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) TAILS!
(The referee grabs the coin, and he calls…..)
Referee: (Off Mic) IT IS HEADS!
(Jake, Chris and Xander look dejected as Impact, Jack and Harper look ecstatic, As the countdown begins….)
5…..4…..3…..2…..1…..
(BUZZ!!!!)
(The referee opens the cage door and Harper Lee runs out and down the rap toward the Davy Jones Locker…..)
Deadprez: HARPER LEE IS THE NEXT ONE IN THE MATCH! IMPACT’S TEAM HAS WON THE COIN TOSS AND THEY GET THE ADVANTAGE! HARPER IS RUNNING TO THE RING, THE REFEREE OPESN THE CAGE DOOR AND CLOSES IT BEHIND HARPER LEE WHO HAS JUST ENTERED DAVEY JONES LOCKER! HOLLY TURNS AND HARPER SPRINTS ACROSS THE RING, LOU THEZS PRESS AND THE TWO WOMEN THAT WILL BE COMPETING FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP ARE AGOING AT IT! HARPER IS RAINING DOWN LEFTS AND RIGHTS! HOLLY IS TRYING TO DEFEND HERSELF….
Eve: SHE FLIPS HER OVER AND HOLLY NOW RAINS PUNCHES ON HARPER LEE! HARPER THOUGH AGAIN IS ABLE TO KICK HER OFF, SHE KIPS UP AND HOLLY COMES AT HER! DRAGON FIST! SHE JUST WALLOPED HOLLY IN THE FACE STUNNING HER AND…. WAIT…. GO TO GAWD BY KASSIDY HEART AND THE SPEAR BROKE HOLLY ARROW IN HALF! HARPER AND KASSIDY LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND NOD AS THEY ARE KICKING HOLLY WHILE SHE IS DOWN! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE HARPER AND KASSIDY WORKING TOGETHER! THEY START LAYING THE BOOTS TO HOLLY! SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO AND HARPER WEDGES HER BOOT INTO THE THROAT OF ARROW AS KASSIDY CONTINUES THE ASSAULT!
(Jake, Xander and Chris Elite are watching this. Jake is pacing madly as Holly is double teamed by Kassidy and Harper….)
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy picks Harper up, she holds her and Harper kicks Holly in the midsection, over and over! Harper bounces off the ropes, what a stiff dropkick, just as Kassidy moved out of the way and these two are showing great chemistry! Kassidy and Harper each grab a leg of Holly….. THE WISHBONE! OUCH!
Eve: Kassidy now picks up Holly, she runs her right into the bamboo cage again as Holly crumbles to the floor. She steps aside and look at Harper, she is getting a running start and…. FROM THE DEAD INTO THE BAMBOO CAGE! HOLLY’S HEAD BOUNCED OFF AND SHE IS DOWN! THE TIME IS ALREADY DOWN TO LESS THAN A MINUTE AND HOLLY ARROW IS GETTING PICKED APART! HARPER PICKS UP HOLLY AND THROWS HER BACK INTO THE RING AND LOOK AT KASSIDY, PICKING UP HOLLY UPSIDE AND HANGS HER UPSIDE DOWN ON THE TURNBUCKLE IN THE TREE OF WOE!
Deadprez: Kassidy is sliding to the outside, holding the head and neck of Holly and wrenching it back! The pressure of the neck against the turnbuckle is so brutal! Look at Harper! She is kicking thew expose torso of Holly Arrow and we don’t know how much more she can take of this but again the match doesn’t officially start until all eight individuals are in! Holly Arrow is taking a beating, but it shows how tough this woman is and what she can endure from two of the very best in the division and in the EAW as a whole!
(Holly is helpless upside down as Kassidy continues to wrench her neck back. Holly cannot do anything while Harper continues to kick her, now backing up….. getting a running length….)
Eve: Oh no… no…. no…. HARPER WITH A RUNNING START AND A BASEMENT DROPKICK! THE WHIPLASH OF HOLLY’S HEAD AND KASSIDY LET’S GO! HOLLY FALLS FACE FIRST TO THE MATS AND SHE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT, HARPER NOW SETTING HER UP FOR HOUSE OF BALLOONS AND….WAIT A SECOND….
(The timer starts to go down ……)

(The referee opens up the wooden cage…….)
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH COMES RUNNING OUT OF THE CAGE AND HE IS BEE LINING IT TO DAVY JONES LOCKER! KASSIDY AND HARPER ARE DECIMATING HOLLY ARROW AND JAKE RUNS PAST THE REFEREE AND HE SLIDES INTO THE RING!
(The crowd explode in cheers and Jake Smith slides into the ring and runs across the ring….)
Deadprez: …. JAKE SMITH FLIES OVER BITH SETS OF ROPES AND LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF HARPER LEE! HE STARTS LAYING IN THE FISTS BUT KASSIDY HEART GRABS HIM! PULLING JAKE BY THE HAIR OFF HARPER AND JAKE WITH A BACK ELBOW! STUNING KASSIDY AS SHE BACKS UP AND JAKE SPINS BEHIND WITH THE BACKSTABBER! HE TAKES KASSIDY OUT! AND HARPER IS BACK UP, SHE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT JAKE DUCKS, GRABBING HER FROM BEHIND, PROPHETIC! HE JUST LANDED PROPHETIC AND HARPER LEE IS DOWN! JAKE IS QUICKLY CHECKING ON HOLLY!
(Jake takes a moment to check on Holly who took quite the beating, he tries to help her up as Holly is trying to recover making sure that she is okay. Jake gets Holly up to her feet. She is barely able to get up but acknowledges that Jake is there to help her, the nod and hug as the crowd cheers, taking a moment before turning around and….)
Eve: KASSIDY PICKS UP JAKE FROM BEHIND AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, NO! HOLLY HOLDS HIS ARMS AND KEEPS HIM FROM GOING OVER!

We have less than a minute left as Jack and Harper are working over Harper and Jake! Kassidy is back up too! She is walking over there and holds Holly as Harper continues to drop fists on her before Kassidy….. slams Holly into the bamboo! Wait… she is raking Holly’s face on the bamboo and the leather tie!

KASSIDY GETS HIT FROM THE SIDE AND SHE FALLS RIGHT INTO JAKE SMITH’S ARMS AND BROKEN WINGS ON KASSIDY HEART AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAKE AND HOLLY ARE THE TWO REMAINING THAT ARE STANDING! AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLOCK IS COUNTING DOWN AND WE ARE ABOUT TO GET IMPACT IN THE RING!
(The clock counts down….)
5…..4…..3…..2…..1…..
(BUZZ!!!!)
(The referee opens the cage and here comes Impact, he runs to the ring, the other referee opens the cage door as he walks in and rolls into the ring checking on Kassidy who stirs. Harper Lee who is leaning against the ropes trying to get up and Jack Ripley now to one knee, Impact stares at the three members of the other team with a smile on his face.)
Deadprez: IMPACT IS INT HERE NOW! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS HELPING UP HIS DOWNED MATE AS HE STARES DOWN THE OPPOSITION! HIS TEAM IS COMPLETE! ONLY XANDER PAYNE REMAINS AND WE DON’T KNOW IN WHAT CONDITION HE’S IN AFTER THE ATTACK BY TEAM DYNASTY EARLIER…..
(The standoff continues, when suddenly Impact, Kassidy, Harper and Jack charge at Chris Elite, Holly Arrow, and Jake Smith….)
Deadprez: THE DONNYBROOK IS ON AND 7 ELITISTS ARE NOW POUNDING AT EACH OTHER! TRHE NUMBERS FAVOR IMPACT AS HE GOES AFTER JAKE SMITH! HARPER AND KASSIDY ATTACK HOLLY ARROW AS JACK RIPLEY AND CHRIS ELITE ARE GOING FIST TO FIST INSIDE DAVEY JONES LOCKER!

Gavin Kirkland: This is getting pretty ugly for Jake’s team, and we see Xander in the cage pacing! He wants in! he wants to get into the match soon as he can, and this is it! Once Xander is in…. the match truly begins! Jack and Chris are recovering! Impact has his knee on Jake’s throat while Kassidy is kicking him down! Harper Lee has a Dragon Sleeper on Holly! She wrenches back as Holly is not trying to pass out here! She has taken a beating and continues to fight! This is not very Disney friendly but the lack of blood shows from the lack of steel in the ring!
(Impact and Kassidy continue to beat down Jake as Holly is trapped, Jack and Elite are back up and they start swinging at one another, Elite runs against the ropes, but….)
Deadprez: CHRIS ELITE IS CAUGHT WITH A SPINEBUSTER! HE WAS CAUGHT GOOD AND LOOK! THE TIMER IS ABOUT TO GO OFF FOR THE FINAL ENTRANT!
(The clock counts down….)
5…..4…..3…..2…..1…..
(BUZZ!!!!)
(The crowd explodes in cheers as the final entrant is let out of the cell, it is Xander Payne, and he gingerly runs toward the cage and the referee lets him in before closing it.)
Gina Romano: EAW UNIVIERSE! THE DAVY JONES LOCKER MATCH HAS OFFICIALY BEGUN!!!!

THE PALM STRIKE TO THE JAW AND IMPACT STAGGERS, XANDER THEN CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR AND HE SEES JACK UP!
Eve: XANDER RUNS ACROSS THE RING…. AIR XANDER AS HE FLEW OVER BOTH SETS OF ROPES ON TOP OF JACK RIPLEY RAINING DOWN FIST AFTER FIST! THE CROWD IS GOING BESERK AS XANDER SI CLEANING HOUSE AND GIVING HOLLY AND JAKE TIME TO RECOVER AS THEY ARE BOTH HELPING EACH OTHER OUT! XANDER PICKS UP JACK AND NO!

(The crowd looks on in shock….)

HOW MUCH MORE CAN CHRIS TAKE OF THIS AND THERE IS NO ONE TO HELP HIM! NO ONE!
(The referee sees that Chris is not responding…….)
Eve: THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL!!!!
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS….. THE TEAM OF IMPACT! JACK RIPLEY! HARPER LEE! AND KASSIDY HEART!
(“M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd starts the boo. Kassidy Heart and Impact let go of Chris Elite as he passed out from all the pain and the referee called for the end of the match. Kassidy, beaten, bruised and with her bloody nose slowly stands up as they are surrounded by all the carnage from the match.)
Deadprez: What a match! What an ending! Impact and Kassidy working together at the end to force Chris Elite to pass out, he was trapped and what they did to him was too much! No one could have broken out of that, but Xander took himself out and everyone else! All eight of these wrestlers left everything in the ring!
Eve: They did! This match was brutal! It was everything that we had thought and surprisingly Impact, Jack, Harper, and Kassidy worked together! Xander Payne sacrificed himself and took out Harper and Jack! Jake and Holly were taken out too! Kassidy and Impact were still there leaving Chris Elite by himself, and they feasted on the carrion!
Gavin Kirkland: This was good Disney Family Fun! I cannot wait for the sequel!
Deadprez: We are out of time! For Gavin Kirkland and Eve! I am Deadprez and thank you for joining us here in Paris for Dead Men Tell No Tales! We will see you on Showdown next week! Goodnight everybody!
(All the rest of the competitors are shown laid out, stirring, trying to get their composure and sense back as the camera shifts to Kassidy on her knees next to the fallen Chris Elite, her and Impact look at each other and then smile wickedly to one another as the scene fades.)
[SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY]
(The scene opens with the lovely and energetic Mikaela Street as she waves to the camera, sitting next to her is the former longest reigning National Elite Champion, Donovan Duke as he looks ready for the Cash In the Vault match at Pain For Pride.)
Mikaela Street: This is really cool, Donovan Duke! It’s so awesome and exciting to talk to you! Thanks so much for being here!
(Donovan gets a smile on his face before giving a small laugh after seeing Mikaela’s excitement for the interview.)
Donovan Duke: I am happy to see how excited you are. How are you, Mikaela? Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here and I always enjoy these interviews we have. I’m ready for whatever questions you have for me. Fire away!
Mikaela Street: First question, how would you sum up your Season 16 on Showdown?
Donovan Duke: I could use so many words to describe my season. Incredible. Exceptional. Monumental. All could fit. I mean being able to put my name in the history books by breaking a record as well as establishing myself as a threat on Showdown is exactly how I pictured my season.
(The smile fades from Donovan’s face for a brief moment as he shrugs before continuing to speak.)
Donovan Duke: I can admit that there were a few bumps the last few months since losing my title to Veena, but I have accepted what happened and I am ready to look towards my future and the end of the season.
Mikaela Street: Okay…. Now how are you going to approach the Cash in the Vault match at Pain for Pride?
Donovan Duke: Going back and thinking about how Myles and Jake Smith used their Cash in Vault briefcases to become World Champion absolutely lights a fire in me that I just can’t describe.
(The camera focuses on Donovan’s eyes where it looks like you can see fire in them.)
Donovan Duke: The Cash in the Vault match will get the same style and class that Donovan Duke is known for. But for this match, I have a few other cards for this match that I have ready to play to keep my opponents on their toes. I’m going to make sure that I do everything that I can to make sure I am the one who leaves with the briefcase.
(Donovan gets a little bit of a smirk on his face before he continues on with his thoughts.)
Donovan Duke: If you need an example of what I will do to win on the big stage, just look at what I got and what I dealt back all for the sake of keeping the National Elite Championship. Imagine what I could do with a guaranteed World Title match at stake.
Mikaela Street: What does this mean to you and what could lead into Season 17?
Donovan Duke: It means the world to me. Winning the Cash in the Vault match would almost guarantee me that I get the first World Championship of my career. Season 17 is the season where the Era of Duke reaches its fever pitch.
Donovan Duke: Becoming World Champion something that I have dreamed about ever since coming to EAW and even more so now that the dream is a possible reality. Cash in the Vault will help me realize that dream. It will be the season where I can show that I can and I will have what it takes to be one of the top dogs in EAW. I am excited for what Season 17 has for me.
Mikaela Street: What do you have to say about your other five opponents in the match?
Donovan Duke: Whether I like you, respect you, or if I don’t care for you at all, I am not going to discredit anybody in this match. They are all tough competitors. We all made it into this match for one reason or another and we can all make claims to the Cash in the Vault briefcase. I’ll tell everybody right now that if you want it more than me, you better be ready to fight because there will be blood and what I will do to win will NOT be gentlemanly.
Mikaela Street: Any last words?
(Donovan gets another smile on his face before looking towards the camera.)
Donovan Duke: You know me. I am never at a loss for words, but I will do my best to shorten what I have to say.
(The comment gets a small laugh from Mikaela before Donovan continues.)
Donovan Duke: First, I would like to say that I hope everybody is ready to see a fight at Pain for Pride because that’s exactly what I am going to bring to each and every person in that match.
Donovan Duke: Second, I want to say thank you for all the love and support by standing by me through good and bad this season. It has meant the world to me.
Donovan Duke: Lastly, I would like to say that the best is yet to come for this cowboy and this journey is not over yet. Not by a long shot. Keep your eyes peeled for what I am going to do. Mikaela, the pleasure has been all mine.
(Mikaela smiles and turns to the camera.)
Mikaela Street: You heard it here from Donovan Duke! Could we be looking at the next Cash In the Vault winner!? Tune into Pain for Pride next week to find out! Byyyyeeee! XOXO!
(Donovan nods as Mikaela waves transitioning from the interview to the next Rewind of Season 16.)
(The ominous Chamber starts to lower as the fans in Beijing get up off their seat and go wild. Gina Romano standing on the side of the ring is ready to announce the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… the following contest is the MAIN EVENT of night one and it is THE SHOWDOWN ELIMINATION CHAMBER for the ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(The crowd roars.)
Gina Romano: Here are the rules! In a few moments I will introduce all six participants in the match, the first four will be sealed inside the Chamber, the final two will start and wrestle for five minutes. Once the time is up one of the chambers will open they will then wrestle for five minutes and continue util all chambers are opened. The only way to be eliminated is by pinfall or submission. They can happen at anytime during the match. The last person remaining will be the Answers World Champion!
(As the crowd continues to cheer, as “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena. The fans start to boo.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! He is the Answers World Champion! From Seattle, Washington! Weighing in at 221 lbs.! “THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION” … IMPACT!!!!!!!!
(The crowd continue to boo as Impact slowly walks out holding the Answers World Championship. He smirks before walking toward the ring, stopping at times, and looking at the crowd.)
Deadprez: Her comes the Answers World Champion and what a hell of a year he has had so far and looks to continue cementing his legacy! I don’t think he has to worry about Jake Smith in a cash in, they are still trying to unbury him from under the rubble thanks to Kassidy Heart!
Eve: Well, she did Impact a favor and now he can focus on the five men in the match here tonight which is going to be nothing short of spectacular!
Gavin Kirkland: He is entering the ring and Impact is right at home as Answers World Champion!
(Impact looks around and relinquishes the Answers World Championship before entering into the first chamber. The officials lock him in as his music fades, and it is replaced with “Bad Habit” by Steve Lacy as the crowd start to cheer.)
Gina Romano: The next competitor! He hails from Dallas, Texas! Weighing in at 202 lbs.! Accompanied to the ring by Londyn Zelaya! “THE CHOSEN ONE” JON KELTON!!!
(The crowd cheers as Kelton looks at Londyn, they hug, and he walks toward the Chamber as she heads to the back. He slaps hands with some of the fans before entering the chamber. Jon Kelton then walks up to Impact’s Chamber who looks on and smiles, Kelton motions the World Title around his waste before heading into his own Chamber.)
Deadprez: Jon Kelton has been on a different level, but every chance he has gotten to win some gold he’s come short, but there is something special about him that we all know this could be his night.
Eve: It really could, and this is the match to do so because in the Chamber anything can happen, there are so many variables.
Gavin Kirkland: The man to beat is Impact, and until he is eliminated it is his title to lose! But Jon is looking swole.
(As the referees lock in Jon Kelton inside the chamber, the music starts to fade and is replaced with ‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon. There is a mixed reaction though mostly boos.)
Gina Romano: The Next competitor…. He hails from Montreal, Quebec, Canada! Weighing in at 220 lbs.! He is “THE ARCHITECT” RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!!!!
(The fans continue to jeer him as Ryan Joseph Wilson walks out and he looks serious. Wasting no time getting into the Chamber. He walks by Impact and stares at him for a moment, then to Jon Kelton before he finally is led into the chamber without incident as they close him inside.)
Eve: Ryan Joseph Wilson is a very interesting choice because since teaming with Xander Payne we have seen a new version of Ryan. I see big things from him in this match.
Deadprez: Ryan Wilson is one of those that is ready for a breakout, and I think the union with Xander Payne has really helped him a lot with that.
Gavin Kirkland: It really has, and he is a threat in this match, one that people better not sleep on Ryan.
(As Ryan is locked into the Chamber, his music starts to fade and is replaced by “It Follows” by Cane Hill. The fans start to boo.)
Gina Romano: The next participant. He hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 255 Lbs., “THE BEST IN THE WORLD” XANDER PAYNE!!!!!!!!
(The boos continue to ring out as Xander Payne slowly walks out intense, looking at the Chamber. He understands the relenting structure, a veteran of it as he gets to the ring. He slowly enters and walks by Ryan Joseph Wilson’s pod, then by Jon Kelton and stares him down for a moment until finally to Impact’s where he slams the Plexiglas a few times as the referee’s escort him to the last Chamber where he gets inside.)
Deadorez: He is the best in the world, he is Xander Payne, and his season so far has been nothing but extraordinary. Now it is time to put up or shut up inside the Chamber! The last to be locked in the pod!
Eve: He is dangerous in that Chamber, a real threat to the Answers World Championship, Impact knows it and the thoughts of Pain for Pride a few years ago are still fresh in his mind.
Gavin Kirkland: He may have girth, but he moves like a cat, a fat cat but nonetheless a cat.
(As they lock Xander Payne in the last chamber, his music fades and is replaced with “The Outsiders” by The Church. The crowd stands up and cheers at one of the two men that will start this match.)
Gina Romano: And now the first of the two starting participants! First from Stillwater, Oklahoma! Weighing in at 212 lbs.! He is the reigning National Elite Champions…. “THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN” DONOVAN DUKE!!!
(The crowd erupts as Donovan Duke walks out with his title in hand. He high fives some of the Beijing crowd before he takes a deep breath and slowly steps into the chamber. Looking around at the four filled pod, Duke nods and starts with his warm-up exercises.)
Deadprez: A crowd favorite and definitely a man that has an uphill battle to climb here tonight. We already saw what the luck of the draw can mean in the Dynasty Chamber Match to open up Road to Redemption and now we are about to see it again.
Eve: This was all Kennedy Street, the new Showdown GM who is watching from her sky box and let me tell you, that both he and the next participant are going through hell thanks to her!
Gavin Kirkland: Close to breaking the National Elite Championship record, could he add another title to his already impressive resume!? We are about to find out!
(As Donovan Duke waits inside the ring, his music fades, “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd cheers.)
Gina Romano: The Final Entrant! He hails from New York City, New York! Weighing in at 231 lbs.! “THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!!!
(He gets a warm reception from the Beijing crowd as Adam nods and makes his way into the Chamber. He stops and slaps hands with some of the fans before glaring at the structure, then entering it and walking around the ring at all the other four participants that are locked inside the Chamber, he stops at Impact who smirks. Adam then turns around and is face to face with Donovan Duke.)
Deadprez: This is it! Everyone is in and now the Answers World Championship Chamber 2022 is about to begin! Remember, the pods open at five minute intervals!
Eve: Two guys that defied the new General Manager and here they are starting out the chamber. Will they have enough! Guess we are all about to find out!
Gavin Kirkland: The referees are locking the chamber! Kennedy Street, our General Manager is watching from her sky box! Here we go!
(The referee checks both competitors. He then signals for the bell and the start of the match!)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas circle the ring before they both shake hands. The crowd loves the sportsmanship as both wrestlers circle again and tie up.)
Deadprez: There is a lot of respect between these two, they are friends, tag team partners and were put into this mess together. They had to face all four other members of the Chamber at the last Showdown and trust me, they have not forgotten. Both lock up and Adam has the size advantage, pushing Donovan Duke to the ropes. There is a clean break here as both men circle the ring again and lock up!
Eve: This time, Duke is able to drop a knee for more leverage, he is able to push Adam now to the ropes and both men again have a clean break. These two are playing it smart and I am sure that our new GM right now is not liking this one bit.
Gavin Kirkland: Now they circle the ring again, locking up, but Duke is able to get a side headlock, Adam tries to push him off, but cannot, he quickly though does, and Duke bounces off the ropes, shoulder block by Adam and Duke falls to the mat! Adam quickly adjusts and runs against the ropes, Duke drops to the mat, he jumps over, Duke is back up and he leap frogs Adam who is still running across the ring and dropkick by Duke! It caught Adam flush in the face!
(Adam Lucas gets up quickly and Duke is there with an arm drag into an arm bar, but Adam is back up on his feet.)
Deadprez: Adam is back up, Duke though holds the arm bar tight, Adam pushes him against the ropes causing him to release the arm bar, Irish whipping him, this time he goes for a clothesline, but Duke ducks and he bounces off the ropes, Adam bends down and Duke leap frogs, he comes back with a flying bodypress! NO! Adam catches him and powerslam to the mat for the first big move and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan kicks out after one, Adam is back up on his feet, Duke is up as well, Adam with a forearm and another, whipping him into the ropes again, but Duke reverses, Should block by Adam takes Duke down, he springs off the ropes, Duke though is back up, hopping over Adam, who springs back from the rope, Arm Drag! Adam back up and he lands in a hip toss! Adam is back up and Duke goes for another arm drag but Adam reverses, blocking it into his own hip toss!
Gavin Kirkland: He goes for the cover, but Duke is quickly out and small package by Donovan Duke!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam rolls and reverses it!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But no! Duke kicks out and Adam is back up, Sunset Flip by Duke and he has a pin!
ONE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas shifts his weight on top of Duke clamping down on the legs!
ONE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But Duke kicks out and both me kip up and stare at each other!
(The crowd stands and claps at the wrestling being shown inside the Chamber right now between two friends and respect each other. They slap hands again. Kennedy Street can be seen watching from the Sky Box and she is not amused.)
Gavin Kirkland: These two are putting on a clinic right now and I see that our General Manager is not very happy at the moment.
Eve: She really isn’t but Duke and Adam are wrestling, they are playing it smart, knowing that in just two minutes and some change that the first pod is going to open and that will change the dynamic of this match! The two circle the ring again, they lock up… no! Adam with a knee to the gut! And another! Adam whips Duke into the ropes, though Donovan reverses it, he lowers down for a back body drop but no! Adam hooks Duke and hits a quick snap suplex! Donovan hit hard, slowly getting back up and Adam Lucas with a headlock take over!
(Adam tightens the grip of the headlock as she holds it close, Donovan Duke though tries to turn it around and turn him into a pinning predicament.)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Adam is able to push himself back up and is holding the headlock tight. It is definitely a wear down hold, and he has it locked in, but Donovan Duke is feisty, getting to his knees for leverage, as he tries once again to pin Adam!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Only a one count! Adam still was able to turn it over and still has it locked in, but Donovan Duke again is up to his knees, forcing Adam to get up as well…. Elbow to Adam’s midsection! And Another! And a third causing Adam to break the hold! Adam falls back some and Duke runs against the ropes, head scissors and Adam falls to the mats!
Eve: Donovan Duke is trying to stay one step ahead of Adam Lucas, as he runs against the ropes, a great corkscrew elbow on Adam and he goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Adam and Duke seem to be quickly kicking out, they don’t want to waste any time whatsoever here! Adam is back up and Donovan whips him into the turnbuckle, he runs and hits a Clothesline on Adam! He follows it with a Bulldog…. No! Adam pushes him off and Duke turns…. High Knee by Lucas hitting Duke flush in the chest! He may have knocked the wind out of him with that move! Adam picks up Duke, he sets him up for another suplex, but Duke holds on with his leg wrapped around Adam’s! He tries to reverse it, but Adam too blocks the attempt and wait a second….. the count down clock is starting, we are about to get the first pod to open!

(The lights start to flicker around the pods, waiting for one to land on it, suddenly it does as the buzzer sounds. The pod opens….)
Deadprez: IT’S THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… IMPACT! HIS POD HAS OPENED AND HE HAS JOINED THE FRAKKAS! HE DIDN’T GET THE LUCK OF THE DRAW BUT IF ANYONE CAN SURVIVE THIS CHAMBER IT IS THIS MAN WHO HAS HAD A CAREER YEAR AND A RESURGENCE!
(Impact gets out of his pod when suddenly Adam and Donovan stop what they are doing, they look at each other and nod.)
Eve: Wait a second…… wait a second! THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE FIRST POD TO OPEN! ADAM LUCAS AND DONOVAN DUKE HAVE BEEN PLAYING POSSUM THE WHOLE TIME! THEY ARE GOING AFTER IMPACT! HE SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING! DUKE AND ADAM ARE MUGGING IMPACT! THEY WERE BIDING THEIR TIME AS IMPACT IS TAKING BLOW BY BLOW BY ADAM AND DONOVAN!
(Adam and Donovan started to pummel Impact the second he stepped out of the chamber and entered the ring. Impact is taking left and right as Donovan Duke whips Impact into the turnbuckle.)
Gavin Kirkland: How is this fair!? But I guess it is everyone for themselves and Kennedy Street is probably furious at this right now!
(The camera shows Kennedy sat up in her seat with Heidi Huxley and now joined by the winner of the Scramble match and number one contender to the National Elite Championship, Veen Adams. She doesn’t look happy and rather annoyed.)
Gavin Kirkland: Duke whips Impact into the turnbuckle, he then grabs Adam and whips him into Impact with such force with a huge clothesline! Impact stumbles out of the corner and he whips him into Duke… BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Impact is in a lot of trouble and if this continues we could be guaranteed to have a new Answers World Champion!
Eve: Impact doesn’t know what hit him as Duke picks up Impact and delivers a few stiff forearms, over and over before whipping him again into Adam Lucas who DELIVERS A BIG BOOT! ADAM AND DUKE JUMP ON IMPACT FOR THE PIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: KICK OUT BY IMPACT! THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO HOLD THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION DOWN! Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas are working well together but there is still over three minutes left before the next chamber opens! Adam picks up Impact, he holds him for Donovan Duke who sprints against the ropes, but NO! Impact is able to get out of the way and Duke strikes Adam with a clothesline!
(Duke is shocked that he took Adam down, he turns….)
Eve: IMPACT HITS TURNING THE TIDES ON DUKE! DONOVAN TRIPS AND FALLS INTO THE ROPES AND FALLS BACK INTO THE ARMS OF IMPACT WHO HITS A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! DUKE IS FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDIAN! Impact is back on his feet; Adam is back up as he charges into Impact…. He stops him with an elbow! Adam stumbles back and the Answers World Champion connects with a Belly to Belly suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is down too and now Impact is laying the boots into him! Over and over! Kicking him down as Adam tries to get up but Impact now is laying the knees into the abdomen section! Donovan Duke is slowly getting back on his feet, but Impact sees it and charges Duke with a forearm as he falls back into the ropes, Impact backs up and clotheslines Duke over the ropes and on to the steel floor!
(Duke rolls in pain as his back hits the steel, Impact takes a second to catch his breath as Adam gets back up and Impact charges him….)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas this time caught Impact with a stiff right from a Discus Punch and that stifles Impact! Adam Lucas hits a Spinebuster and that was textbook! Impact is down and Adam Lucas drops on Impact for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Impact is able to kick out, but Adam Lucas knows that the time is running out! He scoops up Impact back to his feet and throws him over the top rope! Impact lands hard on the steel and Adam Lucas waits…. He waits…. And as Impact gets up…. Adam runs against the ropes, and he flies over the top rope ON TO IMPACT CRUSHING HIM INTO THE STEEL WALLS OF THE CHAMBER!
(The crowd roars as the bodies crash against the steel walls of the Chamber. There is loud clapping by the Beijing crowd.)
Eve: ADAM LUCAS DID A HIGH RISK MOVE AND IT PAID OFF! BOTH ARE DONE BUT DONOVAN DUKE IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! THERE ISN’T A LOT OF TIME LEFT FOR THE NEXT POD TO OPEN! DUKE SEES BOTH MEN DOWN AS HE GETS UP AND WALKS OVER TO ADAM AND IMPACT, HELPING UP ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like both are working together here! They want to survive together inside this Chamber after everything that Kennedy Street has put them through and it makes sense, but in this chamber you cannot trust anyone! Duke and Adam pick up Impact, they have him up and Duke is climbing the top rope, Adam executes a backbreaker and holds Impact…. As DONOVAN DUKE COMES CRASHING DOWN WITH A LEG DROP! IMPACT FLIPS OVER IN PAIN!
Deadprez: It is smart what they are doing but at some point, when will they turn on each other? Impact is down right now, and Adam Lucas is picking up the World Champion, whipping him into the chamber that has Jon Kelton in it as he backs up! Impact crumbles to the steel floor as Adam Lucas wastes no time picking up Impact again, pointing at Duke who waits, and he throws Impact against….. OVER HEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!! IMPACT HAS TAKEN SO MUCH ABUSE AND DUKE NOW DRAGS HIM INTO THE RING, HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Impact kicks out! Impact cannot hold on much more! We know that the timer is running down, and the next person will be entering the ring in a few seconds! Adam Lucas and Donovan Duke though are not done, they are trying to rid of Impact and here is the timer!

Deadprez: Now he has Adam Lucas, dragging him out of the ring, lifting him up over his shoulders and running… HEADFIRST INTO THE CHAINS OF THE CHAMBER! ADAM FALLS TO THE STEEL FLOOR! IMPACT PICKS UP ADAM AND STARTS RIPPING HIS HEAD INTO THE CHAMBER AND WE HAVE COLOR!
(Adam starts to bleed. The crowd starts to boo, some cheer as Adam is sitting against the steel chamber wall. Impact starts to kick him while he is down, noticing that the next participant will join the fray soon. Impact drives his boot into the neck of Adam.)
Eve: There are no disqualifications here! Impact is choking Adam out by pressing his boot on the neck of Adam Lucas! There is nothing that Adam can do right now as Duke and Ryan are both down, but it looks like Ryan is back to his feet, he walks over to Donovan Duke….
Gavin Kirkland: … but no! Donovan Duke is back up throwing some fists at the midsection of Ryan Wilson, but Wilson batters Duke down! He starts kicking him down and now Ryan Wilson slams Duke’s head into the Plexiglas! Over and over into the empty chamber, but Ryan Wilson is opening the Chamber!

Eve: RYAN WILSON IS SLAMMING THE CHAMBER DOOR INTO THE HEAD AND NECK OF DONOVAN DUKE! HE IS TRYING TO BEHEAD HIM WITH THAT PLEXIGLAS AND SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY! RYAN WILSON SCREAMS AS THE CROWD GIVES HIM A MIXED REACTION BUT THE TIMER IS TICKING DOWN FOR THE NEXT ENTRANT INTO THE CHAMBER BUT RIGHT NOW ADAM LUCAS AND DONOVAN DUKE ARE IN NO CONDITION TO CONTINUE!
(Ryan Wilson places his knee on the fallen Duke and adds pressure to the neck and face. The National Elite Champion is barely conscious as Ryan continues the onslaught. Outside the ring, Adam is pancaked in the steel wall of the chamber. Impact has his foot still on the neck of Adam as the countdown clock begins.)

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! (In Chinese)
(Everyone is laid out in the ring, but Adam Lucas seems to be the one that is getting up along with Ryan Joseph Wilson, as he turns, and Adam is holding on to the ropes in the corner. Ryan Wilson runs around the ring Adam is back up…)

Xander Payne: (Off Mic) We take him out then clear the field!

(Ryan and Xander now target Impact who is slow to get up as well when the powerbomb earlier did him in. He slowly stirs and starts to get up, but Xander Payne always has a hold of him, throwing Impact to Ryan Wilson who hoists him up, but Xander Payne runs against the ropes….)
Deadprez: IMPACT RAKES THE EYES OF RYAN WILSON AND HE DROPS THE WORLD CHAMPION!

Deadprez: RYAN WILSON IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE AND IMPACT SLAMS HIM INTO THE PLEXIGLAS! WAIT! LOOK AT IMPACT, HE IS TAKING THE CHAIN THEY USE TO LOCK THE POD FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HE IS BRINGING IT INTO THE CHAMBER!
(Impact wraps the steel chain around the neck of Wilson and starts choking him out. All the while Xander doesn’t see while he forces the Plexiglas into the throat of Adam Lucas. He then sees what is happening and throws the piece down and starts to make his way into the pod.)
Eve: Xander Payne is making his way into the pod where Impact is choking out Ryan with the Chain! He grabs Impact and rakes his eyes causing him to drop the chain! Xander grabs impact … slamming him into the pod! Over and over! He backs up and HEATWAVE! THE CANNONBALL CRUSHING IMPACT AGAINST THE PLEXIGLAS! XANDER PAYNE DRAGS WILSON OUT OF THERE AND POINTS AT ADAM LUCAS, THEY WANT TO TAKE HIM OUT!
(Xander gets Ryan back in it as he kicks Impact a few times, leaving him crushed in the pod. Kennedy Street continues to look on this time looking a little more worried that she is up to her feet.)
Deadprez: Xander and Ryan are targeting Adam Lucas, that has been the story here, Xander and Ryan have been working together the whole time, they have a plan and plant to keep it until they are the final two! Adam is back up and Xander drops a few forearms, he then holds him from behind as Ryan Wilson tees off on him with some stiff rights and lefts. Adam is barely able to stand right now!
(Adam is spaghetti legged. He can barely hang on as Ryan Wilson backs up some and hits a deadly strike to the face causing Adam’s knees to buckle.)
Deadprez: Xander picks up Adam Lucas and drops him with a high angle back drop! Wow that was intense and now he looks to finish this off, telling Ryan to go to the top rope. Ryan is climbing and he gets to the top. WHISPER IN THE WIND BY WILSON AND….. IT CONNECTS! NOW XANDER PAYN IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, HE CLIMBS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND IS UP THERE! MOONSAULT BY XANDER PAYNE AND HE JUST TOOK OUT ADAM LUCAS!
(Ryan Wilson and Xander Payne high five each other as Xander turns around and grabs Adam…..)
Eve: Xander about to grab Adam and finish him off, RYAN WILSON ROLLS UP XANDER PAYN FROM BEHIND WITH A SCHOOL BOY!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: XANDER PAYNE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT!?!!?!? RYAN WILSON CAME FROM BEHIND ON XANDER PAYNE AND ROLLED HIM UP! HE CAUGHT HIM NAPPING AND JUST ELIMNATED HIS OWN TAG TEAM PARTNER AND LOOK AT RYAN! HE IS SMILING AND SHRUGGING HIS SHOULDERS AT THE SHOCKED XANDER PAYNE!
Ryan Wilson: (Off Mic) Hey! You taught me! You showed me this okay! You would have done the same thing!
Eve: Xander Payne is still in shock! He can’t believe that Ryan Wilson caught him from behind like that and did him in! Xander though shakes his head, he stands up….. and he is shaking Ryan Wilson’s hand! A show of respect……
Deadprez: THE LAST SEDATION ON RYAN WILSON! TALK ABOUT TOUGH LOVE AND HE JUST LAID HIM OUT! XANDER PAYNE IS PISSED AND HE WALKS OUT OF THE CHAMBER! THE CARNAGE THAT IS LEFT IN THE RING, THERE ISN’T ANYONE MOVING RIGHT NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THREE MEN ARE DOWN!
(All three are down as Adam slowly starts to stir, he then flips over and lays one arm on Ryan Wilson as the referee drops for the cover.)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: NO! RYAN WILSON WAS ABLE TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP! HE IS STILL IN THIS AS ADAM LUCAS IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! IMPACT TOO SEEMS TO BE STIRRING AS ADAM RISES TO HIS FEETR, PICKING UP RYAN BY THE HAIR, HE HITS A FORARM! AND ANOTHER! ANND ANOTHER STAGGERING WILSON BUT HE DOESN’T FALL, ADAM GOES AGAINST THE ROPES, NO WISON DUCKS, ADAM COMES BACK AND LA BOMBE BLEU!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM GOES DOWN HARD AND HE HAS HIM FOR THE COVER!

NO WILSON A THUMB TO THE EYE OF ADAM! HE HOPS OFF THE ROPES…. SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0! ADAM IS WOBBLY TO HIS FEET AND RYAN HOISTS HIM UP….. NO! ADAM FALLS BEHIND RYAN, HE TURNS…..
Eve: THE NEXT LEVEL! NO! RYAN BLOCKS IT! HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES, KICK TO ADAM, BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO THE FIST OF FURY! RYAN IS ABOUT TO FALL BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO THE NEXT LEVEL AND HE GOES DOWN WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT! ADAM COVERS!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: RYAN WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!
Deadprez: RYAN WILSON IS GONE! THERE AR EONLY TWO MEN LEFT AND THE OFFICIALS ARE HELPING HIM OUT OF THE RING. ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT ARE STARING EACH OTHER FACE TO FACE, BLEEDING, BEATEN AND BRUISED. THE CROWD STANDS UP AND CHEERS LOUDLY.
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! (In Chinese)
Eve: WE HAVE THE FINAL TWO AND THIS CHAMBER HAS BEEN BRUTAL FROM THE START! WE HAVE ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT LEFT! WHAT DO THEY HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK IS MY QUESTION!? ADAM AND IMPACT STARE AT EACH OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. THEY START TO JAW JACK SOME!
(Kennedy Street is pacing in the sky box, she quickly throws her champagne glass down and heads out.)
Eve: THEY HAVE BEEN GOING AT IT ALL WEEK ON PROMO TELEVISION AND ADAM WANTS THIS, HE CAN TASTE IT! HE WANTS TO BE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY HE CAN DO IT! THAT IS TO BEAT THE ONE MAN THAT HAS GIVEN HIM PROBLEMS, THE ONE GUY THAT IS HIS WATERLOO!
Gavin Kirkland: TWO MEATY BEEFY PORTERHOUSE STEAKS RIGHT HERE AND WE ARE ABOUT TO GO TO WAR!
(Adam and Impact say a few things to each other as they finally got Ryan Wilson out of the Chamber. The chamber closes and both Adam and Impact start to wailing on each other.)
Deadprez: And here we go! Both men are punching each other! They are going back and forth! Adam Lucas and Impact! Who will be the one to survive at the end! Impact with a headbutt! That stunned Adam Lucas! He staggers and Impact goes FOR THE FIST OF FURY, NO! ADAM LUCAS DUCKS AND HE LIFTS UP IMPACT FOR THE NEXT LEVEL…. NO! IMPACY IS ABLE TO BREAK FREE AND…..
Eve: IMPACT KICKS ADAM LUCAS IN THE GROIN! HE KICKED HIM THE JEWELS AND ADAM BUCKLES OVER! IMPACT GRABS THE LEGS AND HE TRIES TO TURN HIM… HE TRIES TO TURN ADAM…. HE TRIES AND…. HE HAS ADAM OVER ON THE WALLS OF IMPACT! IMPACT HAS THE WALLS AND ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS PLACE THE KNEE ON THE NECK AND THIS IS OVER!
(Adam is trying to fight it hard as he can, but he is hurt, tired and bleeding, doing whatever he can to reach the leg, but the knee of Impact slowly comes down on the back of his head….)
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS OVER! IMPACT HAS THE WALLS AND ADAM LUCAS HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT OR PASS OUT! HE…… HE……..
Eve; LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF ADAM LUCAS! LOOK AT WHAT HE IS DOING! HE HAS HIS HANDS FLAT ON THE MAT! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! HE IS PUSHIN UP! HE IS GETTING UP AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT IMPACT CAN DO TO KEEP HIM DOWN…. HE….. HE….
Gavin Kirkland: HE CAUSED THE BREAK! IMPACT FELL FORWARD AND BROKE THE HOLD! IMPACT CANNOT BELIEVE IT AND HE IS RIGHT BACK UP, LIFTS ADAM LUCAS UP, FIST OF FURY, NO! ADAM DUCKS AND….. FIST OF FURY ON THE COME AROUND AND HE HIT ADAM FLUSH ON THE FACE! HE COLLAPSES AND WE HAVE A WINNER HERE! IMPACT WITH THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……
…….
Deadprez: HOW!?!?! ADAM LUCAS WITH A SHOIULDER UP AND IMPACT CANNOT BELIEVE IT! HE IS ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE BUT IT WAS ONLY A TWO COUNT! THE REFEREE IS HOLDING UP TWO FINGERS AND IMPACT IS LOSING HIS MIND! IMPACT IS LOSING HIS MIND! IMPACT SLAMS THE MATS AND HE GRABS ADAM LUCAS, RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES…. EVISCERATION!
Eve: NO! ADAM BLOCKED IT AND LIFTED IMPACT UP FOR THE NEXT LEVEL! HE HIT THE NEXT LEVEL AND THE CROWD IS GOING WILD! ADAM FALLS ON IMPACT FOR THE COVER! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
……..
Eve: NOOOOOOO! IMPACT NOW HAS A SHOULDER UP AND ADAM CAN’T BELIEVE IT. HE LOOKS UP THOUGH, TO THE TOP OF THE POD….. WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING!?!
(Adam drags up Impact and places him on his shoulders. He then climbs up the ropes with Impact and then to the top of the pod….)
Gavin Kirkland: OH, SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE! SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE HERE! ADAM LUCAS HAS IMPACT ON HIS SHOULDERS BUT IMPACT ELBOWS ADAM REPEATEDLY! ADAM DROPS HIM! THEY BOTH NOW ARE FISTICUFFS ON TOP OF THE CHAMBER!
Deadprez: THEY ARE IN A DANGEROUS POSITION AND LOOK AT IMPACT! HE KICKS ADAM AND IS NOW CLIMBING THE CHAMBER!?!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS IMPACT DOING! HE IS CLIMBING THE CHAMBER AND LOOK AT ADAM LUCAS! HE IS CLIMBING AFTER IMPACT! I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE TWO ARE SCALING THE CHAMBER! THEY ARE GOIN UP THE STEEL WALL AND ARE ACTUALLY HANGING ON BY THE CHAINS!
(Their feet dangle as both Impact and Adam Lucas are almost in the center of the of the chamber! The crowd is screaming in excitement and fear as both men are trying to kick each other!)
Eve: I cannot watch! Both are hanging by their arms trying to kick one another off! I can’t…. this is not going to end good at all!
Gavin Kirkland: Not it isn’t! Adam Lucas …… HE JUST WRAPPED HIS LEGS AROUND IMPACT! HE IS CLINGING ON TO IMPACT WHO CAN BARELY HANG ON!
Adam Lucas: (Off mic) If I fall? I’m taking you to hell with me!
Impact: (Off mic) Stupid idiot!
Deadprez: DID YOU HEAR THAT!? DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY SAID! ADAM IS TRYING TO PULL IMPACT DOWN…… HE CAN’T HANG ON….. HE CAN’T….. HE……
Eve: IMPACT AND ADAM LUCAS FALL FROM THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER!
CRASH!!!!!!!!
Eve: THEY JUST CRASHED AND BURNED ON THE MAT AND BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT! CAN THEY CONTINUE! BOTH FELL HARD ON THEIR BACKS AND ARE NOT MOVING! THEY…..
(The crowd starts to boo as the referee doesn’t know what to do. Suddenly Kennedy Street comes storming out, she takes off her 3000k Louboutin heels and throws them in the air as she screams at the referee to open the chamber.)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN DOING HERE!? SHE IS BEING LET INTO THE CHAMBER AND KENNEDY IS WALKING RIGHT OVER THE FALLEN ADAM LUCAS AND IMPACT. KENNEDY GRABS IMPACTS ARM AND DRAPES IT OVER ADAM!
Kennedy Street: (Off Mic) COUNT!!!! COUNT NOW!!!!
(The referee looks perplexed but drops to the mat and begrudgingly counts….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
…….
(DING!!! DING!!!! DING!!!)
(The crowd rains out in boos as “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena.)
Gina Romano: ADAM LUCAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! THE WINNER AND STILL ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION……. IMPACT!!!!
(Impact is still laid out on the floor but Kennedy doesn’t say anything and storms out of the Chamber, she grabs the title and hands it to the referee who still looks confused. Both men are not moving as Impact’s arm is raised.)
Eve: THIS WAS HIGHWAY ROBBERY! WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED BUT THE MINUTE KENNEDY SAW THAT ADAM LUCAS WAS ABOUT TO WIN, SHE MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR CUT WINNER AND I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HER EXCUSE WAS FOR THIS ONE!
Deadprez: I don’t understand this! I really thought that anyone could have won this match! We don’t know what could have happened as the EMT’s are not out for both to check on them, but Impact and Adam Lucas are moving so that is a good sign!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact survived the chamber like he said he would, and Adam was so close! But give it to all the participants in the Chamber match. They all came out, but this night goes to Impact and on to 2023 as the Answers World Champion! He…..
(Suddenly “WAR” by Grandson starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd explodes in cheers.)
Eve: WAIT…… WHAT!?!?! JAKE SMITH! I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!!!!
Deadprez: THIS CAN’T BE! HE WAS STRETCHERED OUT EARLIER! This cannot be happening!
(Jake walks out barely able to walk, he is wrapped up in bandages, still bleeding, barely able to walk or even breathe carrying the Cash in the Vault briefcase.)
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES JJAKE SMITH AND HE HAS THE BREIFCASE IN HAND A,,,,,,
Eve: KASSIDY HEART FROM BEHIND JUST ATTACKED JAKE SMITH! JAKE GOES DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS AND KASSIDY SI STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HIS ASS! JAKE CAN’T EVEN DEFEND HIMSELF AS KASSIDY IS NOW CHOCKING AND CLAWING HIM WITH HER BAREHANDS! SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO STOP JAKE SMITH!
Deadprez: SHE JUST DID STOP HIM! KASSIDY IS ALL OVER JAKE AND I DON’T THINK WE ARE GETTING A CASH IN AND…..
(Suddenly “Throne” by Saint Mesa starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd stands up screaming….)
Deadprez: WAIT….. WAIT……. IT IS MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME IS BACK!
(Ms. Extreme comes running out as Kassidy turns around….. )
Eve: MS. EXTREME TACKLES KASSIDY HEART DOWN! SHE HAS KASSIDY HEART AND THE TWO WOMEN START TO BRAWL ALL OVER THE STAGE! LOOK AT JAKE! HE IS CRAWLING! HE IS CRAWLING TO THE DAMN RING!
Deadprez: KASSIDY AND MS. EXTREME ARE FIGHTING NOW ON THE STAGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE BACK O FTHE CROWD! JAKE SMITH IS CRAWLING TO THE RING AND LOOK AT KENNEDY STREET JUST WATCHING! JAKE GETS UP ON THE STAIRS, HE HAS THE BRIEFCASE IN HAND! IMPACT AND ADAM LUCAS ARE STILL BEING TENDED TO!
(Jake Smith slowly gets to his feet, he can barely stand, covered in bandages and blood. He looks at the referee and turns in the briefcase….)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT JAKE SMITH HAS CASHED IN THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE!
Deadprez: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME DAWG!
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!!0
Eve: IT IS OFFICAL AND JAKE SMITH HAS CASHED IN HIS BRIEFCASE! HE PUSHES THE EMT’S ASIDE AND PICKS UP IMPACT! ADAM LUCAS IS BEING HELPED OUT OF THE RING AS JAKE SMITH GRABS IMPACT AND…….
Gavin Kirkland: THE WALLS OF IMPACT! JAKE SMITH CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! IMPACT JUST FEEL LIKE 20 FEET AND HE LOCKS IN THE WALLS OF IMPACT! HE HAS JAKE ALMOST TURNED OVER! JAKE CAN’T FIGHT IT! MS. EXTREME AND KASSIDY HEART ARE FIGHTING IN THE CROWD AND JAKE IS ABOUT TO GET TURNED OVER!
(Jake trying to fight it as best he can, but he is hurt and Impact tries to turn him over, the referee is watching as Impact finally has Jake almost over and…..)
Eve: NO! JAKE WAS ABLE TO TWIST AWAY! IMPACT FALLS FORWARD! JAKE GETS UP WITH WHAT LITTLE BIT OF STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT….. IMPACT SLOWLY IS UP AND……..
Deadprez: STARMAKER!!!! JAKE SMITH HIT THE STARMAKER ON IMPACT AND HE JUST FALLS FORWARD ON TOP OF HIM! COULD THIS BE IT!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……
……
…….
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(“WAR” by Grandson starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd rises to their feet seeing the second World Title change hands tonight!)
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH DID IT!!!! JAKE SMITH DID!!!! OMG JAKE SMITH DID IT!!!!! HE HAS FINALLY BECOME THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: HE DID IT! JAKE SMITH IS THE WORLD CHAMPION!
Eve: ABSOLUTELY AMAXZING! WHAT GUTS AND COURAGE IT TOOK! HE DEFEATED A MAN THAT WAS ALMOST UNBEATABLE!
(Jake Smith rolls over with tears in his eyes as the Referee gives him the Answers World Championship. Holly Arrow comes running out and rushes Jake while he is on the mat in an emotional moment. Adam looks on leaning on the ropes not knowing what happened, but he nods at Jake who has finally become a World Champion)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…. THE WIINNER OF THE MATCH….. AND THE NEWWWWWWW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!! JAKE SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd goes insane as Holly helps Jake up. Impact is leaning against the bottom rope coughing up blood and watching with narrowing eyes, barely able to move. Jake is held up by Holly as the fireworks go off and the streamers ascend from the rafters. Kennedy Street looks on without any show of emotion as jake has his arms held high by the referee and Holly.)
Eve: Jake Smith is the NEW Answers World Champion and Ms. Extreme is back! She is back and we will hear more form her tomorrow night! Her and Kassidy are still fighting somewhere but the night belongs to Jake Smith!
Gavin Kirkland: AGAINST ALL ODDS, JAKE DID IT! HE IS OUR NEW WORLD CHAMPION AND DIDN’T SCREW IT UP!
(Jake gets up on the second rope, barely able to hold the title up, but he eventually does as the crowd continues to cheer loudly. The Chamber begins to rise, and Jake looks on with tears of pain and joy in his eyes.)
Deadprez: What an incredible night we had for you tonight! It had everything we needed! Tomorrow night will be just as exciting! We have a new Answers World Champion in Jake Smith! Adam Lucas was so close, but we haven’t seen the last of him and Impact in the Championship scene! For Eve and Gavin Kirkland! And for all the great announcers here tonight! From Beijing China, thank you for joining us for Road to Redemption Night One! We will see you tomorrow! Good night everybody!
(The final shot is of Jake Smith holding the title in his arms before he looks at it and kisses the faceplate. The confetti and streamers still coming down as Jake Smith has finally done it and become immortal!)
(The REWIND ends and cuts backstage.)
( The scene starts off in a war room with monitors and pictures behind her, showing all the participants of the 24/7 battle royale. The participants include MITSUBACHI, Axel Graves, NOVA, Bea Valentine, Delilah Rose, Vallerie Hellstorm, Roberto De La Rosa, Michael Machina, Rain Kasey, Drake Armstrong, Major Michael Scott Connor, Komatsu Ogawa, Lucas Johnson, Harley Lewis, Mercer McKay, Tanner Black, Kasai, Korey Gaines, Rory Slate, and Ayu Megumi. All the participants are shown, with Kyra Phillips standing in front of those monitors and pictures. She has a big smile on her face, and a little spotlight shines on her as she starts welcoming everybody to the war room. )
Kyra Phillips: Kyra is here, and we are just not so far away from Pain For Pride 16! I’m here to introduce the 24/7 Battle Royale. Now, what is the 24/7 Battle Royale, and what’s so important about it? The 24/7 Battle Royale follows the rules of the basic battle royale, not so much different from what we have seen before. People are going to throw each other out of the ring, and the last one standing will qualify themselves as the winner. It still follows the rules for the standard battle royale…. except the 24/7 contract is the reward of this game!
Kyra Phillips: Now, why does it have to be a 24/7 contract, and why is it so important for everybody to comply with this match? A 24/7 contract means that the winner, who becomes the holder of the contract, will get a chance to insert themselves into the title match of any championship. Sometimes, the winner could use it for a Cash-In opportunity, just like the 2021 winner Donovan Duke did when he used it to cash in and defeat Minerva and Jake Smith to become the National Elite Champion, or the recent case of Samael who utilized his contract to earn the right to challenge Myles for the EAW World title at Tempest! Now that we are on Showdown, let’s hear what the brand’s representatives have to say about coming to this match!
( The camera then pans to the round table in the middle of the room, showing all the competitors of this match, such as Roberto De La Rosa, Michael Machina, Rain Kasey, Drake Armstrong, Major Michael Scott Connor, Komatsu Ogawa, Lucas Johnson, and Harley Lewis, sitting together with everyone in a serious mood. Scotty looks to his right and left, seeing that everybody isn’t really feeling like they want to go first, so he acts like a gentleman and starts speaking for everybody here.)
Major Michael Scott Connor: First things first… A contract? I’ve won one before. And coming to this match, it’s going to be another opportunity for me to win. Throughout this season, not just legends that I’ve faced, not just champions that I have laid down my challenge to, I’ve proved that I can be more than a retired war veteran. That is Major Michael Scott Connor is a great professional wrestler who deserves way much better than what he is.
( A loud laugh could be heard echoing throughout the room, with everyone turning their eyes following the source of the hearty laughter. Harley Lewis tries to gather himself, slapping the table, and continues laughing before gradually stopping and addressing Scotty. )
Harley Lewis: Seriously, mate! That’s one of the best jokes I’ve ever heard, and it almost made me cry from laughter! I didn’t know that you retired from fighting for your country just to become a total joke for us to laugh at throughout this whole season! Listen, douchebag, I’ve defeated you before, and when I throw you out of that match, the chance won’t be yours. The history you think is going to repeat itself, it’s not your story. It’s my story! I will beat you, and ALL OF YOU!… Again!… AND AGAIN! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Major Michael Scott Connor: I guess for someone cringeworthy like you, I will never doubt why you will never succeed in EAW ever again.
Harley Lewis: I beg you pardon?!-
Drake Armstrong: Enough, boys. I’m tired of hearing this. Everybody is tired of you two saying absolutely nothing to us. The Armstrong Family that everybody spits on, trashing us all, I’m really sick of going through this motion all the time. This season, this whole entire season, has been nothing but my season. It’s Drake Season. It’s the era of the Armstrong family, and it always has been. I proclaimed myself as the future of EAW, not just because I want it to stroke my ego, but because I actually prove it, over and over again, that the brightest future of Elite Answer Wrestling is sitting right here, talking to you two. I beat Ms. Extreme, something that none of you could ever achieve. Now, with the 24/7 title, none of you will win it, but guess who will? Me.
Roberto De La Rosa: Yeah yeah yeah, your family. Your legacy. Your whatever. None of that matters here, perdedor. You aren’t the future of EAW, first of all. Secondly, as much as the Kneedy’s pet that you were, the follower, something that you have always been your whole miserable life, your entire body stinks here. Your words stink. Your name stinks. Everything about you stinks, and that shows you have no glimpse of the future that this company expects.I have my family too, but here’s what sets us apart. We help each other. We work together. We do things that actually look like a real family, while yours literally looks like how Harry Osborn’s parents were written. Every single day I go out there, I always do it for my family, and I want to keep that going. I’m going to preserve the only legitimate bloodline in this business, and finally, everybody is going to bow down to the Godfather of EAW and know their place!
Lucas Johnson: Hm. Family, another excuse to make one’s personal story stronger than others. Don’t even have to make this up, guys. Everybody knows that you all have gone through this just to fail by the end of the day. Lucas Johnson, to this day, is still the Emperor of Violence that all of you are supposed to kneel before. I’m still the toughest one in this business, no matter how many times I have to be defeated. I will still come back, work here, and fight until the day I die. The 24/7 Contract will once again show that Lucas Johnson can’t be defeated, and only you can be defeated.
Drake Armstrong: ….
Roberto De La Rosa: ….
Major Michael Scott Connor: ….
Harley Lewis: …..
( Everybody starts laughing. )
Lucas Johnson: What is so funny?
Drake Armstrong: REALLY???? (LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
Harley Lewis: NAH MATE, THIS DUDE CAN’T BE SERIOUS!
Lucas Johnson: :rolling_eyes:
( Laugh, Laugh… and more laugh. Some claps could be heard, which brings everybody to silence again, turning to where the sound comes from. Showing Ogawa smiles while clapping his hands sarcastically. )
Komatsu Ogawa: Good story for all of you. I really enjoyed this, and yeah, I almost fell asleep after hearing all of you talking. Pain For Pride 16 is where the era of Komatsu Ogwa begins. The era of Komatsu Ogwa that I have been telling people time and time again. I know that losing throughout this whole season has been my mark, it has been what people know me for, but I’m tired of being viewed as a joke. Ogwa wants to do something that can actually make a name for himself, and at Geodis Park, it’s going to be the beginning of the greatest era in Elite Answers Wrestling history, and that’s MY era.Rain Kasey: You know…. I’m pretty new here, but I didn’t know that EAW actually has a bunch of delusional workers around here.
Harley Lewis: Who the heck are you, mate-
Rain Kasey: I always knew British people don’t really have manners, and you just showed that you are one of them.
Harley Lewis: HEY-
Rain Kasey: I’m pretty clueless with all of you, and after hearing what everybody here has to say, I’m still clueless why all of you have to waste your time going through all of this just to lose in the end. I know I don’t have as much experience as all of you may do, but I feel like I’m the smartest one here after hearing what everybody has to say, and you know what? This easily just makes my chance of winning become more clear, and taking all of you idiots out is going to be way more simple than you could ever imagine. You all have done this to yourselves, and Rain Kasey will simply step up to become the winner of the 24/7 Barely Royal Battle Royale. Enough said.
Michael Machina: ….
Michael Machina: Jesus Christ.
( Everybody now looks at Michael Machina, who has been sitting there with a disapproving look on his face, showing that he’s pretty much dissatisfied hearing what everybody in this room has to say about this match. )
Michael Machina: I was supposed to be sitting on the set for potentially one of the biggest box-office hits in the history of Hollywood. I was supposed to spend my time going through another Oscar-worthy performance in my upcoming movie. But I got a call to be here, talking about this and listening to everybody that I thought would be worth my time, or else…. but I was wrong. Everybody here wasted my time and completely pissed me off. I hate all of you here, especially that autistic goblin, Harley Lewis. I hate not because I hold any grudge against all of you, but because all of you didn’t just waste my time, but also wasted my time in working for the movie.
Michael Machina: Now my boss is going to yell at me when I pick up the phone to talk to him tonight, making me waste more time explaining what happened today. What am I supposed to tell him? Important business? Chat with top management? Emergency meeting with CEOs? No, instead, I have to tell my boss that I received a call just to sit and go through one of the most boring periods of time I have ever experienced.
Michael Machina: I’m going to keep it plain and simple. 7-0. I have defeated all of you in this room. I have done nothing but win, becoming the biggest star not just in Showdown but in all of EAW. Everybody watches me whenever I appear on TV. Everybody loves my movie. With every step I take, I generate more income. The more money this company earns, the more people aspire to be like me. None of you have what I have. Stop dreaming. Quit bickering about nothing. Grow up. I’m the favorite one to win this. Are you? Take a hint and answer the question. Peace.
( Michael gets up from his seat and throws the chair away, then immediately leaves the room, leaving everybody in the room watching him as he walks out. The camera then cuts back to Kyra Phillips standing there, with a slightly startled look because of Michael, but she quickly regains her composure and turns her attention back to this segment as she continues speaking to the camera. )
Kyra Phillips: And there you have it! We can’t wait to see this anticipation unfold! Everyone seems absolutely ready for it, and there’s a strong desire to become the 24/7 Battle Royale winner! We’ll be seeing you again at Pain For Pride. For now, thank you everybody for joining me, and the 24/7 Battle Royale participants. Now… back to Showdown!
( The scene then fades back to the main show and another REWIND of Season 16. )
(The camera returns to ringside where Gina Romano is standing, ready to make the introductions for this next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest is the special… UNSANCTIONED LAST! WOMAN! STANDING MATCH!
(The crowd goes wild with cheers because they have been waiting for this match for a very long time.)
Gina Romano: The only way to win this match is to incapacitate your opponent long enough so they can not answer the referee’s ten count! If Pandora Paisley Wins she WILL be known moving forward as the NEW Ms. Extreme and Camille Jane Ava can NO LONGER use that name! If Ms. Extreme wins she will get Kennedy Street One on One at Pain For Pride!
(The crowd roars after hearing that when suddenly the arena goes dark….)
(The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar….)
(Fireworks blast off the entrance as “”Just Stop” by Disturbed plays throughout the arena…..)
(The beautiful and confident Pandora Paisley walks out in her black and cheetah print wrestling gear, fedora and glasses, standing at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with a very negative reaction. She lowers her glasses and winks, looking around at the crowd, screams and then smirks walking to the ring determined for this huge match and starts to make her way down to the ring. Pandora starts to jaw jack, sometimes yelling obscenities, staying fully focused inside the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Currently residing in Newark, New Jersey! Weighing in at 9 Stones! Here is “THE HELLCAT” PANDORA PAISLEY!!
Eve: Disney and the EAW have washed their hands clean of this match, they are not liable for anything that happens here tonight! It is UNSANCTIONED!
Deadprez: Here comes Pandora making her way to the ring with one purpose and one purpose only. That is to finish off Ms. Extreme for good and to become the NEW Ms. Extreme. With the way things have been going the last month or so for Camille, it isn’t looking good. Just for the record, Pandora is being pretentious with her introduction. According to the math, 9 stones is about 126 pounds for those at home.
Eve: There’s your fun fact for the day, but come on, Prezzy. Don’t doubt Ms. Extreme. She can pull herself up and out of any horrible situation thrown her way. But ever since Pandora Paisley returned to EAW and aligned herself with General Manager Kennedy Street, she has made Camille’s life a living nightmare. Especially after attacking and throwing Camille in the water last week on Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: The beautiful Pandora Paisley is only one match away from being honored as the NEW Queen of Extreme and I can’t wait. She has had Camille’s number this entire time, but she just needs to overcome her opponent’s persistence in order to become the last woman standing.
(Pandora gets to the apron and hops up to the ring as the crowd looks on, flipping over the ropes back first. Once inside the ring, Pandora goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire as she waits for her opponent to appear. Pandora then cartwheels and ruffles her hair as her entrance music fades off.)
(Seconds later, ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts to play and the crowd starts to go absolutely wild for Ms. Extreme as she enters the arena at a slower pace than usual. She is still feeling the effects of being hit by Kennedy’s car and the attack from last week. But right now she is staring daggers down the ramp at Pandora before she starts to head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! From Calabasas, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds! Here is “THE PROBLEM CHILD” MS. EXTREME!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the opposition and she has still got to be feeling so much pain after Grand Rampage! Will this be the last time we hear Camille be called Ms. Extreme? If Pandora wins this match, we will never hear Camille be called Ms. Extreme again.
Eve: But what if Camille wins? If Camille wins this match, then she gets Kennedy Street at Pain for Pride. That would be the best thing ever in my opinion. But Camille needs to survive this match and by the looks of Camille, it’s going to be a tough task.
Deadprez: This match has been brewing for a long time, but it only came about because Ms. Extreme signed a hold harmless waiver preventing any legal recourse. Either way, the waiver has been signed and the match was made. Both ladies got their wish. It’s Last Woman Standing and here we go!
(Ms. Extreme gets into the ring and makes a beeline for Pandora, but the referee stops her to boos from the crowd. After some effort, the referee gets Camille into a neutral corner before checking both competitors and then calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! We have been waiting for this for a very long time. There will be no feeling out process here.
Gavin Kirkland: The number one rule in this match? There are no rules. It’s just beating the crap out of each other so bad that one can’t answer a ten count. This is going to be brutal. This is going to be AWESOME!
Eve: We have a staredown for the moment BEFORE CAMILLE RUNS RIGHT IN AND STARTS POUNDING ON PANDORA! SHE HAS WAITED LONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Double leg takedown sends and Camille is still pounding on Pandora. Closed fists and all! There is nothing the referee can do about it. Pandora is doing whatever she can to block this initial onslaught from Camille.
Deadprez: That’s exactly what she does when she shoves Camille off of her and gets back to her feet. Remember that Ms. Extreme is NOT fighting at 100 percent. She is hurting and she knows it. What’s worse is that Pandora knows it too.
Eve: Camille is trying to get back to her feet as well BUT IS MET WITH A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE! Camille goes down and Pandora rolls Camille onto her stomach before DROPPING HER KNEE RIGHT ON CAMILLE’S SPINE!
Deadprez: Camille goes back in pain before PANDORA GRABS A HANDFUL OF HAIR AND JUST PULLS HER BACK! No count right there because just like a suplex, this move is absolutely legal.
Eve: Pandora holds Camille long enough AND JUST LETS HER FALL FORWARD AND HER FACE JUST SMASHES THE CANVAS! That could knock a tooth loose or something, but Pandora is just beginning her torture session.
Gavin Kirkland: We are about to find out because Pandora is rolling out to the floor and is looking under the ring. WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME WEAPONS! YAY!! I LOVE IT! BE JEALOUS, PERSEPHONE!!
Deadprez: Now that Rex McAllister is on Voltage commentary, I highly doubt that she cares about anything but him. But Pandora comes out from under the ring WITH A KENDO STICK! Such malicious intent on her mind. Camille is in a world of trouble.
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora rolls back in the ring and goes right to Camille AND SHE JUST REARS BACK AND CRACKS THE KENDO STICK ACROSS CAMILLE’S BACK! AND AGAIN! AND ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE! ALL IN THE NAME OF KENNEDY STREET AND DEVOLUTION!
Eve: PANDORA IS HAVING A HEYDAY WITH THAT KENDO STICK BEFORE SHE THROWS IT TO THE SIDE! Pandora picks Camille up and SLAMS HER NEAR THE CORNER! Pandora goes and picks up the kendo stick before making her way back to the corner.
(The camera switches to Kennedy Street and Heidi Huxley with Drake Armstrong watching from her suite with concern and yet a smirk on her face.)
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora makes her way to the second rope and instead of holding the kendo stick like a bat, she is wielding it like a spear BEFORE SHE JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE–
Deadprez: PANDORA WITH THE KENDO STICK STABBING CAMILLE RIGHT IN THE THROAT! THAT WAS UGLY RIGHT THERE AS CAMILLE HOLDS HER NECK AND THROAT IN PAIN! Camille is down and Pandora is yelling at the referee to start the count.
(1… 2… 3… 4…)
Eve: CAMILLE IS BACK UP AT FOUR! She is holding her throat in pain but she is glaring at Pandora AND SHE WANTS MORE! CAMILLE IS TELLING PANDORA TO BRING IT ON! DOES CAMILLE HAVE A SCREW LOOSE?
Deadprez: Camille isn’t going to shy away when she can still fight and Pandora is gonna oblige the challenge AS SHE SWINGS THE KENDO STICK AGAIN BUT CAMILLE MANAGED TO AVOID THE SHOT AND CAMILLE COMES BACK WITH FOREARMS TO THE FACE!
Eve: Even in pain, Camille is still bringing the fight to Pandora as Pandora is backed into the ropes before being whipped to the other ropes–
Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE PULLS HER BACK AND DROPS HER WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX RIGHT ON PANDORA’S HEAD! Pandora wants to end Camille, but Camille has no issue returning the favor and that suplex is a prime example.
Deadprez: Camille is holding her ribs in pain as she now rolls out of the ring and goes over to the timekeeper’s area AND GRABS A STEEL CHAIR! LET THE GAMES BEGIN FOR CAMILLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Camille slowly rolls back into the ring and rears back ready to strike as she waits for Pandora to get back to her feet. Pandora finally makes it back up to her feet AND CAMILLE SWINGS WITH ALL HER MIGHT AND CRACKS PANDORA’S SKULL WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!
Eve: Ohhhhh. Disney is not going to like this and we are going to be in trouble after all is said and done and Pandora might have been knocked out after that shot. Camille backs up so the referee can start the count. Dang, this might be the quickest Last Woman Standing match in EAW history.
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6…)
Gavin Kirkland: Camille might have had a few screws knocked loose after that shot… not that Camille really cares… but Pandora is back up to her feet. That Pandora Paisley has got to have a head of rock or steel after that shot to the head.
Deadprez: Pandora has a hard head? I can agree with you there with that attitude of hers. But that’s not the point. Right now, Camille rears back and SWINGS THE CHAIR AGAIN BUT THIS TIME PANDORA AVOIDS THE CHAIR!
Eve: Camille turns around and tries again, BUT PANDORA WITH A DROP TOE HOLD THAT SENDS CAMILLE DOWN AND FACE FIRST INTO THAT STEEL CHAIR! CAMILLE TASTES THE STEEL!
Deadprez: Pandora has such an evil grin on her face as she pulls Camille up by the hair AND THROWS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL CHAIR AGAIN! PANDORA IS OUT FOR MAXIMUM DAMAGE HERE TONIGHT FOLKS!
Eve: We are probably going to hear it at the next meeting with the ref allowing this all non-Disney friendly attacks, but right now, do we care? These two want to, for lack of a better term, kill each other.
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora has another handful of hair AND THROWS CAMILLE INTO THE CHAIR AGAIN! Now Pandora throws Camille back and places the steel chair on Camille’s face–
Deadprez: PANDORA WITH A LEG DROP SMASHING THE CHAIR IN CAMILLE’S FACE! PANDORA UP AND DOWN WITH ANOTHER LEG DROP BEFORE GETTING UP AND DOING IT AGAIN! TRIPLE LEG DROP BY PANDORA AND THE REF STARTS COUNTING!
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8…)
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME IS BACK UP AT EIGHT! NOW LOOK AT CAMILLE’S FACE! SHE IS BLEEDING HEAVILY FROM THE NOSE! That’s no surprise after that triple leg drop from Pandora. With the level of intensity that we expect from this match, blood wasn’t a matter of if, but when.
Eve: Ms. Extreme’s nose could be broken and that might have been the last thing that wasn’t broken on her after those attacks by Pandora AND MS. EXTREME IS STILL FIGHTING BACK! You got to give Camille all the credit in the world.
Gavin Kirkland: AND PANDORA WITH A KICK RIGHT TO THE INJURED RIBS! Pandora takes Camille and whips her to the ropes, BUT CAMILLE REVERSES AND PANDORA HITS THE ROPES! Pandora hooks onto the top rope AND CAMILLE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE–
Deadprez: BUT PANDORA DUCKS AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP THAT SENDS CAMILLE RIGHT OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US! CAMILLE CAUGHT HER BACK ON THE APRON ON THE LANDING!
Eve: Pandora rolls out of the ring and goes for Camille on the floor. Pandora has another handful of hair as she brings Ms. Extreme to her feet BEFORE WHIPPING HER TO THE RING STEPS AND CAMILLE JUST CRASHES AND BURNS ON IMPACT!
Deadprez: Camille is holding her back in pain as Pandora goes under the ring again to look for another weapon and this time she comes out with… A HUBCAP?!?! WHY A HUBCAP?
Eve: Well Camille was hit by a car, so I guess she is trying to literally rub a little salt in the wounds with this weapon. Pandora looks at the hubcap and SHE STARTS LAUGHING! It’s like she is reminded of Grand Rampage. Now it looks like she is going to talk some trash.
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) DID YOU GET THE NUMBER OF THE CAR THAT HIT YOU, CAMILLE? IS THIS THE STYLE OF HUBCAP? DO YOU REMEMBER, CAMILLE? DO YOU REMEMBER?
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora is having a little fun right now as Camille has brought herself back to her feet AND PANDORA RUNS FULL SPEED TO CAMILLE AND CRACKS HER IN THE FACE WITH THAT HUBCAB! BAHAHAHA! SHE GOT HIT BY CAR PARTS AGAIN! I WONDER IF CAMILLE IS EXPERIENCING DEJA VU RIGHT NOW?
Deadprez: Why in the world are you laughing at something like this? Nothing about this match is funny, so you laughing about this is very sick, Gavin. But as Pandora hit Ms. Extreme in the face, she fell back and caught the back of her head on the ring steps.
Gavin Kirkland: Camille is on her knees and you can see a splotch of red starting to form on the back of her skull and she has been busted open when she fell back. Pandora takes the hubcap and SMASHES CAMILLE’S FACE AGAIN BEFORE TOSSING IT ASIDE AND LOOKING FOR ANOTHER WEAPON!
Eve: Pandora has been in firm control of this match for the majority of the time as she comes out WITH A GLASS PANE! WHY IN THE WORLD DO WE HAVE WINDOWS UNDER THE RING?
Gavin Kirkland: Does it really matter? Unique weapons make these types of matches so much more fun. Right now, Pandora has a handful of Ms. Extreme’s hair in one hand and the glass in the other. She smashes the glass in Camille’s face and walks her over to the corner. HA! Somebody take a picture! Camille never looked better!
Deadprez: They are facing the ringpost BEFORE PANDORA RUNS HER FULL SPEED INTO THE RING POST AND THE GLASS JUST SHATTERS RIGHT IN HER FACE AS SHE STUMBLES BACK HOLDING HER FACE IN PAIN–
Eve: RIGHT BACK INTO PANDORA WHO PICKS HER UP AND DROPS HER WITH A BACK SUPLEX RIGHT ON THE RING STEPS! CAMILLE IS ROLLING IN PAIN AS SHE ROLLS OFF THE RING STEPS AND HITS THE FLOOR! CAMILLE IS DOWN AND THE REF COUNTS AGAIN!
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8…)
Deadprez: HOW IN THE WORLD IS MS. EXTREME BACK UP TO HER FEET AFTER ALL THAT? MS. EXTREME IS STILL ALIVE IN THE MATCH AND WE CAN SEE THAT NOT ONLY IS HER NOSE BLEEDING, HER FACE IS BLEEDING AS WELL!!
Eve: We can also see that there are glass shards all in her forehead and we can see Camille is not looking good right now. But as long as her heart is beating, she will be competing. Pandora goes in for an attack BUT CAMILLE COUNTERS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE BACK OF PANDORA’S HEAD ENDS UP IN THE GLASS MESS!
Gavin Kirkland: Where did that come from? Camille looks like she could pass out at any moment and she manages to counter Pandora, who has dominated this match pretty much since the opening bell.
Deadprez: Camille loses her balance a little before she drops down and goes to look for another weapon under the ring. Camille finally has a chance to build up some momentum but we can see that she is hurting even more right now.
Gavin Kirkland: Camille slowly crawls out from under the ring and she has a bag in her hands. We can only wonder what’s in the bag. Glass shards? Rabid squirrel? In Elite Answers Wrestling, that really could be anything. Heck, maybe Persephone had a breakdown and put hand grenades under there.
Eve: I highly doubt that the bag has hand grenades in it, but she is gingerly walking over to Pandora and opening the bag before dumping its contents all over the floor… THEY ARE THUMBTACKS! MS. EXTREME HAS FOUND THUMBTACKS!
Gavin Kirkland: Did this crazy woman rig weapons under the ring before the event began or something? Those thumbtacks are all over the ringside floor as she returns the favor and pulls Pandora back to her feet by the hair. That’s not nice.
Deadprez: Biased commentary again, Gavin? Not worrying about it right now AS CAMILLE GETS HER UP FOR THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX, BUT PANDORA BLOCKS IT WITH A KICK TO THE KNEE! Pandora was dropped back to the floor and PANDORA WITH A THUMB TO THE EYES! Pandora grabs Camille and hooks her arm! PANDORA LOOKING FOR THE “HAYWIRE” NECKBREAKER—
Eve: CAMILLE GETS FREE AND MANAGES TO GET ON PANDORA’S BACK! MS. EXTREME USES ALL OF HER ENERGY TO FLIP HER OVER AND CAMILLE COUNTERS WITH THE “CODE RED”! SUNSET FLIP BOMB BY MS. EXTREME!
Deadprez: AND THAT PUTS PANDORA RIGHT INTO THE THUMBTACKS! THE BACK OF PANDORA’S HEAD, NECK, AND HER BACK HAVE BEEN PIERCED WITH THE TACKS AND SHE IS A HUMAN PINCUSHION RIGHT NOW!!
(The camera again switches, t5his time Kennedy is a nervous wreck pacing the suite as Drake Armstrong tries to calm her down.)
Eve: But Camille didn’t come out of that move unscathed as her legs landed a bit in the tacks as well, but Camille was willing to risk what is left of her body in order to be called the Last Woman Standing. Both women are down and the referee begins the count.
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8…)
Gavin Kirkland: Camille is up at eight and we can see some of the tacks sticking in her legs. Pandora is still struggling to get back to her feet because she took the majority of the damage on that move. Will Pandora manage to beat the ten count? Will Ms. Extreme get Kennedy Street at Pain for Pride?
(9…)
Deadprez: PANDORA BEAT THE TEN COUNT! SHE IS UP AT NINE AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES! Somewhere in the back, Kennedy Street had to have let out a sigh of relief knowing that she is safe at the moment.
Gavin Kirkland: Both women are face to face at the moment before both women drop down and look for more weapons under the ring. It looks like Camille will be first up and she has a trash can and a lid in hand as she goes around to Pandora, who is still down and looking for a weapon–
(CRASH!)
Eve: PANDORA WAS PLAYING POSSUM! PANDORA HAD A COUPLE OF LIGHT TUBES READY TO GO AND SHE CRACKS IT IN CAMILLE’S FACE! GOSH! LOOK AT THE DUST FLYING THANKS TO THE LIGHT TUBES!
Gavin Kirkland: Leave it to Pandora to be one step ahead and we can thank our General Manager Kennedy Street for Pandora’s major improvements here on Showdown. Thanks to her guidance, Pandora is going to become the new Ms. Extreme.
Deadprez: Make sure to get Kennedy a thank you card when all this happens, but right now, Pandora grabs Camille and rolls her back into the ring as she goes under the ring to look for another weapon and she has another kendo stick.
Eve: Do you not see this kendo stick, Prezzy? THIS ONE IS WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE! Pandora gets Camille’s legs around the ring post BEFORE HITTING CAMILLE IN THE KNEE WITH THAT KENDO STICK! THE BARBED WIRE STICKING INTO HER FLESH!
Deadprez: NOW SHE WRAPS THE KENDO STICK THROUGH CAMILLE’S LEGS BEFORE WRAPPING HER LEGS AROUND AND DROPPING DOWN! “CAT’S CRADLE” BY PANDORA! THAT RINGPOST FIGURE FOUR IS CAUSING MORE DAMAGE THANKS TO THE BARBED WIRE!
Eve: THE REFEREE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WATCH IT GO DOWN! CAMILLE IS DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO NOT SCREAM BUT THE PAIN HAS GOT TO BE WEARING HER DOWN! THE LONGER SHE’S IN THIS MOVE, THE MORE DAMAGE IT CAUSES!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora thinks she’s done enough damage to the legs, so she finally releases “Cat’s Cradle”. Camille scoots back and holds her legs in pain after getting the lodged barbed wire out of her legs as Pandora goes over to the timekeeper’s table and looks to go for another weapon—
Deadprez: OH MY GAWD!! PANDORA FOUND A STAPLE GUN! I mean I knew this match was going to be hard hitting, but this is absolutely out of line. Come on, Pandora! Don’t do this.
Gavin Kirkland: PREZZY! If Pandora wants to be the new Ms. Extreme, she needs to show exactly how extreme she can be. What a nice start by turning Camille into a bulletin board. Pandora slides into the ring and grabs Camille by the hair and pulls her back.
Eve: Pandora has a leg lock around Camille’s neck preventing her from getting free. OH NO! OH NO! PANDORA, DON’T! PANDORA HAS THE STAPLE GUN READY FOR IMPACT–
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA WITH THE STAPLE GUN TO THE FOREHEAD AND FRESH BLOOD IS FLOWING FROM CAMILLE’S HEAD! PANDORA STAPLES THE OTHER SIDE AND CAMILLE HAS THE INFAMOUS CRIMSON MASK!
Deadprez: We are getting fined, I just know it, but right now we don’t care. Camille is holding her face in pain as Pandora grabs the steel chair AND STARTS DRIVING IT INTO THE RIBS AND THE BACK! INSULT TO INJURY RIGHT THERE! PANDORA HAS CRASHED HER ENOUGH AND LEAVES THE REFEREE TO BEGIN THE COUNT!
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 1—)
Eve: HOW IN THE HELL DID CAMILLE MAKE IT BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE TEN? I apologize about that, but Camille has got to be running on straight adrenaline right now. She has to be tapping into her energy reserves.
Deadprez: Camille might not have a lot left, but as Camille was getting counted out, Pandora was outside the ring setting up a table. Why not? We have everything else in this match, so let’s just add a table.
Eve: Pandora is slowly rolling back into the ring stalking her eventual victim and grabs Camille by the hair and yanks her right out to the floor and puts her right on the table before climbing all the way to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora looking to finish Camille off as goes high risk AND JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! PANDORA IS LOOKING FOR HER “HEATSEEKER” ELBOW DROP… OR “PRICE TAG” DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION! IT’S OVER! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(CRASH!)
Deadprez: MS. EXTREME ROLLED OFF THE TABLE WITH WHATEVER ENERGY SHE COULD FIND AND PANDORA ELBOW DROPS HERSELF THROUGH THE TABLE! NEVER DOUBT THE DRIVE AND INTENSITY OF MS. EXTREME! BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN AND THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…)
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know how this is happening but even after having barbed wire and a figure four weakening her legs, Camille is up at seven and she is searching under the ring for another weapon. As if we need anymore weapons.
(8… 9… 1—)
Eve: PANDORA IS UP AT NINE! This has been an amazing match and these two have done everything they could to brutalize the other. Pandora is coming after Camille and brings her back to her feet. CAMILLE HAS A BASEBALL BAT IN HER HAND—
(CRASH!!)
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WAS NO NORMAL BASEBALL BAT! THAT WAS A GLASS BASEBALL BAT AND IT JUST SHATTERED ON PANDORA’S FOREHEAD! WE CAN SEE THAT PANDORA HAS IMMEDIATELY BEEN BUSTED OPEN, BUT SHE IS STILL ON HER FEET!
Deadprez: Camille now has Pandora by the hair AND NOW THEY ARE WALKING UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP! THEY ARE BOTH WALKING UP SLOWLY BECAUSE THEY ARE EXHAUSTED AND THEY ARE HURTING BADLY ! NOW WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE THEY GOING?
Eve: Does it really matter? This match isn’t limited to the ring. The referee can make the ten count anywhere in Miami if it comes down to it. BUT PANDORA GETS FREE AND KICKS CAMILLE IN THE FACE WITH THE “CAT’S PAW” SUPERKICK! CAMILLE STARTS TO FALL, BUT PANDORA WON’T LET HER.
Deadprez: They are at the top of the entrance ramp as Pandora picks up Camille and SLAMS ON THE STEEL ENTRANCE WAY! WHAT A THUD! PANDORA COMES IN AND DROPKICKS CAMILLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD SENDING CAMILLE DOWN!
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…)
Eve: Camille is looking to get back to her feet, BUT PANDORA OUT OF NOWHERE WITH “FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION”! WHAT A CURB STOMP BY PANDORA AND MS. EXTREME’S FACE JUST KISSES THE COLD STEEL AND SHE COULD BE OUT COLD! Pandora has such an evil grin on her face as she soaks in the jeers from the crowd.
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 10–)
Gavin Kirkland: SHE MADE IT! CAMILLE MADE IT BACK UP AND PANDORA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! SHE THOUGHT CAMILLE WAS DONE! SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD FINISHED MS. EXTREME OFF FOR GOOD, BUT CAMILLE IS ALIVE!
Deadprez: Not if Pandora has her way. Pandora kicks Camille in the gut and grabs her by the hair and now they are going backstage! We will get back with the action as soon as we get a camera back there.
Gavin Kirkland: They are prepared for once and we immediately catch back up with the action as Pandora still has control of Camille and they are just making their way further backstage.
Eve: People are getting out of the way as fast as they can so they don’t get in the crossfire, PANDORA WITH A HIP TOSS ON THE FLOOR AND CAMILLE ALMOST LANDED ON HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora grabs her and brings her back to her feet, BUT MS. EXTREME WITH A SAITO SUPLEX OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE BACKSTAGE FLOOR! PANDORA LANDED HARD ON THE FLOOR! No mats back there to help cushion the blow.
Deadprez: The referee tries to start a count, BUT CAMILLE WANTS TO CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO PANDORA! Camille with a front facelock AND CAMILLE IS SETTING UP FOR A “TWIST OF FATE”! What a twist of fate it would be if Ms. Extreme hits this move–
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA MANAGED TO BREAK FREE AND COUNTER WITH “CAT CLAWS”! WHAT A RAKE OF THE FACE! SHE GOT HER NAILS DEEP AND MANAGED TO DRAW MORE BLOOD FROM CAMILLE!
Eve: Pandora manages to regain control of this match and is looking to do whatever she can to win this match. Nobody and nothing is safe in this Last Woman Standing match as we can see, but right now the ladies have wandered into the catering area backstage.
Deadprez: More people are scattering to get out of the way as PANDORA SLAMS CAMILLE ON ONE OF THE TABLES! Pandora goes over to the silverware area AND GRABS A KNIFE AND FORK!
Gavin Kirkland: Creativity at its finest as Pandora goes back to Camille AND SHE IS STABBING CAMILLE IN THE FOREHEAD WITH THAT KNIFE AND FORK! FRESH BLOOD IS FLOWING AND THAT IS PLASTIC SILVERWARE SO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE HOW HARD CAMILLE GOT STABBED!
Deadprez: Pandora pulls Camille off the table AND SMASHES HER FACE INTO THE SERVING TABLE! Pandora was going to try again BUT CAMILLE WITH A RAKE OF THE EYES! Smart strategy by Camille as Pandora gets the sting out of her eyes—
Eve: CAMILLE JUST GRABBED A METAL TRAY OFF THE STEAM TABLE AND CRACKS PANDORA IN THE HEAD WITH IT! FOOD GOES FLYING AND PANDORA IS HOLDING HER HEAD IN PAIN AFTER THAT! THAT MIGHT BLISTER AND CAMILLE IS STILL CRACKING HER IN THE HEAD WITH THE TRAY!
Gavin Kirkland: Was Ronan Malosi there again? I heard he was there earlier in the night. Is he carb loading or something? Now these two are leaving the catering area and they continue to fight their way through the backstage area.
Deadprez: They have been brawling backstage for a while now and they have reached the back of the building and that can not be safe at all. Be careful, ladies, AND NOW THEY OVER BY THAT STAIRCASE! THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS! GET AWAY FROM THERE! CAMILLE SLAMS PANDORA’S FACE INTO THE STEEL HANDRAIL! AND AGAIN! PANDORA IS GROGGY BUT SHE IS STARTING TO MAKE HER WAY UP THE STAIRCASE…. AND WAIT…. WAIT A SECOND DAWG…. THAT LEADS TO THE ROOF OF THE KASEYA CENTER!
Kennedy now is basically forming calluses on her feet from all the pacing in her heels while Drake Armstrong brings her a glass of wine to calm her down. Pandora and Camille though start to make their way up the stairs. Pandora scurries up as Camille follows.)
Eve: Ms. Extreme is following Pandora up the stairs! Hitting her with rights as she stumbles and Camille is now on top of her…. But Pandora with her long legs kicks her off! The referee is screaming for them to get back down but both women are almost to the door that leads to the outside! But…..
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA IS ABLE TO SPIN MS. EXTREME AROUND! SHE STARTS WITH THE FOREARMS AGAINST THE DOOR SLAMMING HER HEAD OVER AND OVER! CAMILLE IS STARTING TO GO LIMP AND PANDORA BACKS UP….
(CRASH!!!)
Deadprez: PANDORA JUST SPEARED MS. EXTREME THROUGH THE DOOR! BOTH WOMEN HAVE CRASHED INTO THE ROOF AND THE ALARMS ARE SOUNDING OFF ALL OVER THE BUILDING!
Crowd: HOLY S***!!!! HOLY S****!!!! HOLY S***!!!
(The referee quickly scrambles up the stairs and sees Ms. Extreme lying on her back grimacing in pain. Pandora slowly gets back up with an evil, sadistic grin on her face before looking up at the referee as he starts the count.)
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…)
Eve: CAMILLE IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP! PANDORA QUICKLY GRABS CAMILLE, SCOOPS HER UP, NO! CAMILLE FALLS BEHIND PANDORA, RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX ON PAISLEY WHO LANDS HARD AND SLIDES AGAINST THE ROOF! SHE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS CAMILLE CAN BARELY GET UP, SHE DOESN’T HAVE MUCH LEFT!
(The referee kooks at Pandora to make the count….)
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5…6…..)
Gavin Kirkland: MY HELLCAT IS BACK UP! CAMILLE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO! SHE GRABS PANDORA BY THE HAIR, NO! A KICK BY PANDORA TO THE MIDSECTION OF MS. EXTREME! SHE LOOKS OVER AND SEES A VENTILATION SHAFT…. OH NO….
Deadprez: PANDORA THROWS CAMILLE INTO THE SPINNING VENTILATION SHAFT! SHE STARTS WEDGING HER HEAD IN BETWEEN THE OPENINGS AND BACKING UP…. MY GAWD! SHE KICKS CAMILLE’S HEAD REPEATEDLY INTO THE SHAFT! LOOK AT THE VICIOUSNESS BY PANDORA! SHE IS NOT STOPPING UNTIL CAMILLE IS FINISHED!
Eve: THAT VENT CONTINUES TO SPIN! RIPPING AT MS. EXTREME’S FACE AND PANDORA PULLS HER OFF!
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) IT IS OVER!!!!
Eve: :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:
Deadprez: :lupe:
(Pandora waits for Ms. Extreme to slowly get back up, her face is now smashed and a crimson mask. The Hellcat wedges her foot against the cement ready to spring off before she lets out a primal scream and runs toward Camille….)
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA’S BOX! THE SPINNING MAFIA KICK AND MS. EXTREME GOES DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS RIGHT OVER THE VENT AND TO THE FLOOR FACE DOWN! SHE IS NOT MOVING! SHE3 IS NOT MOVING! YES! THE HELLCAT GOT HER!
(Pandora drops to one knee, bloody, barely able to stand, watching with her cat-like green eyes as Camille is face down on the ground motionless.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) COUNT YOU BLOODY WANKER!
(The camera switches to show Kennedy bouncing up and down in joy as The referee quickly scrambles and starts the count.)
(1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…)
Eve: Camille is moving! She is moving but she may not make the ten count!
(… 8….)
Eve: She is on her knees! Look at the blood pouring out like buckets! I know she is fighting to face Kennedy Street at Pain For Pride AND keep her name of Ms. Extreme…. But I cannot believe I am about to say this….. PLEASE STAY DOWN CAMILLE!
(….9….)
(Pandora is on one knee breathing heavily, her face covered in blood, her body gashed and punctured. Camille with one last push….)
Eve: :lupe:
Deadprez: :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: COUNT IT REF!
(..10…)
(The crowd goes silent.)
Eve: MS. EXTREME BEAT THE COUNT AND PANDORA PAISLEY CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
(Kennedy stops jumping and throws the win glass across the room, screaming that she was not counted out. Pandora just stares at Ms. Extreme as she is barely standing. The Hellcat nods, admiring her once idolized hero knowing that she is in a war with one of the best and the Queen of Hardcore, a title she wants.)
Deadprez: How much more can these women take!? Camille is on spaghetti legs and here comes Pandora! Look at her face! She screams as blood pours down and goes to grab Ms. Extreme who can barely defend herself. What is she doing!?
Eve: PANDORA IS DRAGGING MS. EXTREME TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE ROOF! THEY ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE LOADING DOCKS! THERE ARE EAW SEMI-TRUCK TRANSPORTS THERE! PANDORA HAS HER LOCKED AND GRABS CAMILLE BY THE HAIR!
(Pandora gets right in Ms. Extreme’s face.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! NOW IT ENDS IN A CATASTROPHE!
Eve: DON’T DO IT PANDORA!
Gavin Kirkland: YES, DO IT PANDORA!
Deadprez: SHE IS GOING TO KILL MS. EXTREME! SHE WANTS TO BE THE QUEEN OF EXTREME SO BAD SHE IS READY TO COMMIT MURDER! SHE LOCKS MS. EXTREME INTO THE HEADLOCK DRIVER KNOWN AS THE CATASTROPHE AND SHE IS GOING TO END THIS! PANDORA LOCKS IT IN…..
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!! MS. EXTREME PUSHES PANDORA OFF! THE HELLCAT THOUGH TEETERS ON THE EDGE! SHE TURNS AROUND AND….
(Ms. Extreme barely able to stand reaches into her boot…)
(SLASH!!!)
Deadprez: :damn:
Eve: :damn:
(Again there is a silent pause by the crowd as they all gasp.)
Gavin Kirkland: Uh…. uh….. MS. EXTREME HAS A HUNTING KNIFE!!!! NOT THAT LITTLE BUTTER KNIFE THAT PANDORA USED EARLIER!
(Pandora stops and suddenly looks down at her abdomen, noticing a slash across it as it starts to bleed.)
Deadprez: WE ARE DONE! WE ARE SO GETTING CANCELED RIGHT NOW! SHE REALLY JUST SAID F*** DISNEY! PANDORA CAN’T BELIEVE IT, SHE DROPS TO ONE KNEE HOLDING HER ABDOMEN AS CAMILLE IS BARELY ABLE TO STAND REALIZING WHAT SHE DID IN DESPERATION AND DROPPING THE KNIFE!
(Kennedy Street is seen throwing her heels in the air and running out of the suite with Drake Armstrong right behind, Heidi Huxley just looks on in horror on the monitor.)
Eve: MS. EXTREME USED A KNIFE AND PANDORA HAS BEEN STUNNED, SHE IS ON ONE KNEE BUT LOOK AT HER, SHE IS A PILE OF BLOOD! COVERED IN IT, HOLDING HER ABDOMEN AS MS. EXTREME TRIES TO STAY UPRIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA IS STILL ON THE EDGE! BOTH WOMEN COVERED IN BLOOD AND LOOK AT PANDORA, SHE LOOKS BEHIND HER AND SEES THE SEMI-TRUCKS! CAMILLE AND HER HAVE A STAREDOWN!
(The two women glare at one another, Camille looks at Pandora almost in remorse because she gained her respect. Pandora on the other hand has accepted her fate, she can look in the eyes of the woman she looked up to and wanted to be like. She stands holding her bleeding abdomen and mutters the word.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) Fuck you…. Ms. Extreme.
(But Camille slowly answers back….)
Ms. Extreme: (Off Mic) No…. Hellcat….. FUCK DISNEY!
(Suddenly….)
Deadprez: MS. EXTREME JUST KICKED PANDORA PAISLEY OFF THE ROOF!!!!!
Gavin Kikrland: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: PANDORA PAISLEY FLIES OFF THE ROOF AND WAIT! WAIT! SHE HANGS ON! SHE HANGS ON AND CAMILLE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! PANDORA IS HANGING ON WITH ONE HAND AND CAMILLE STARES AT HER!
(The referee is begging for Camille to stop! He tries to grab Pandora but Camille pushes him away. She then drops to one knee and extends her hand.)
Deadprez: WHAT IS CAMILLE DOING!? SHE WANTS TO HELP PANDORA PAISLEY UP! SHE WANTS TO….. WAIT A SECOND! HERE COMES AMIR YUSUF AND JON KELTON! THEY RAN UP THE STAIRS AND ARE CHARGING TOWARD CAMILLE!
Eve: NO! XANDER PAYNE AND RYAN JOSEPH WILSON ARE THERE TO CUT THEM OFF! ALL FOUR MEN ARE FIGHTING ON THE ROOF AND CAMILLE GOES TO EXTEND HER HAND……
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA GRABS IT! AND LOOK! SHE IS PULLING MS. EXTREME OVER THE LEDGE WITH HER! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE GOING TO CRASH AND BURN! PLEASE….. NO! SOMEONE HELP!
Crowd: :lupe:
(Pandora is pulling a weakened Ms. Extreme over and they both look at one another and Camille smiles, Pandora then screams as Camille jumps with her…..)
Deadprez: OH GAWD NO!!!!!
Eve: THEY ARE FALLING!
(CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE AND PANDORA CRASHED ON TOP OF THE SEMI-TRUCK! THEY DIDN’T HIT THE CONCRETE BUT BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN! THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO COUNT!
Referee: ONE!!!! TWO!!! THREE!!!!! FOUR!!!!!
(Kennedy Street and Drake Armstrong are seen running out into the loading dock watching in horror. DOMINION and Devolution are still brawling on the roof.)
Referee: FIVE!!!! SIX!!!!
Deadprez: BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN! NEITHER IS MOVING… WAIT…. CAMILLE IS STARTING TO STIR! SHE IS…..
(Pandora starts to move as well, she is on the edge of the truck, holding her abdomen in pain as the referee continues to count….)
Referee: SEVEN!!!! EIGHT!!!!
Eve: Camille is to her knees and Pandora rolls over…. She… SHE FALLS TO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK! BARELY HOLDING ON!
Referee: NINE!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA SLIPS OFF THE TRUCK LEAVING A BLOODY TRAIL SMEARED ALL OVER A PICTURE OF DRAKE KING! SHE CRASHES TO THE CONCRETE BUT CAMILLE IS STILL DOWN!
Referee: TEN!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd is silent…. suddenly…..)
Deadprez: CAMILLE JANE AVA IS BACK ON HER FEET! SHE BEAT THE COUNT!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts to play and the crowd starts to go absolutely wild. Immediately Camille crashes back on top of the truck bed. Pandora lies on the ground barely conscious holding her abdomen, suddenly the medical staff comes running to tend to her as Kennedy Street is absolutely numb. She stands there glaring at the carnage.)
Deadprez: THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL WOMEN’S MATCHES WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE EAW AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS! WHILE SHE MAY HAVE LOST, PANDORA PAISLEY BECAME A STAR TONIGHT! MS. EXTREME ON THE OTHER HAND SHOWED WHY SHE IS THE TOUGHEST BITCH IN THIS INDUSTRY! THIS WAS ABSOLUTE CARNAGE!
Eve: I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT WE HAVE WITNESSED HERE TONIGHT! BOTH OF THESE LADIES PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE! THEY DID IT ALL BUT THE KNIFE WAS THE TURNING POINT! THAT WAS THE ONE CAVEAT THAT CHANGED IT ALL IN THE END BECAUSE PANDORA DOMINATED A LOT OF THIS MATCH! SHE SHOWED WHY SHE IS THE HELLCAT, BUT CAMILLE WAS DETERMINED AND SHE PROVED WHY THERE IS ONLY ONE MS. EXTREME!
(The medical team is checking on Pandora, some are now trying to get to the top of the truck bed to get to Camille. Slowly, Ms. Extreme crawls to the edge and stares down barely able to stay awake at Kennedy Street as they both glare at one another.)
Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! I JUST CAN’T! SOMEONE GET HELP! SOMEONE HELP MY HELLCAT PLEASE! KENNEDY STREET WILL NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH MS. EXTREME AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
(Amir Yusuf and Jon Kelton have already stopped brawling with DOMINION, they have already made their way down the stairs concerned about Pandora. Ryan and Xander are still on the roof cheering on Ms. Extreme who is victorious here tonight at Fighting Spirit and punched her ticket to Pain for Pride.)
Deadprez: MS. EXTREME IS THE WINNER! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH! WE WITNESSED! THE CARNAGE HERE NEEDS TO GET SORTED OUT, WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!
(The final scene is Ms. Extreme, barely conscious glaring down at Kennedy Street, she cracks a bloody smile as the medical staff tend to Pandora and Camille. The camera shifts then backstage.)
( Transitioning from the live broadcast, Showdown is brought into a pre-recorded backstage segment featuring Kyra Phillips. She’s situated in a dismal, monotone room. The background is decorated with screen monitors and photographs pinned to a noticeboard, the two women in question highlighted in these pictures being Kennedy Street and Ms. Extreme, whose arching feud has been a staple of Showdown’s broadcasting since the beginning of the year. This looks like something ripped straight from a comic book, or a document about the world’s most wanted criminals. We see scenes from an abundance of recent events hosted in the promotion. As the scene focuses inward, Kyra Phillips leans forward and begins to address the camera. )
Kyra Phillips: Ms. Extreme’s return to Elite Answers Wrestling’s programming was explosive.
( A video package takes us back to Road to Redemption, with Jake Smith interrupting Impact’s retention of his Answers World Championship — cashing in the Cash in the Vault briefcase. Impact’s partnership with Kassidy Heart is highlighted, a contingency plan put into motion to ensure that Impact, and by extension Heidi Huxley, kept their grasp on the biggest prize in Showdown’s locker. What they hadn’t planned on, was Ms. Extreme returning to a thunderous reaction and preventing Kassidy from getting her claws deep into Jake’s skin, much like she had done earlier in the night. Ms. Extreme’s actions allowed Jake to successfully cash-in his briefcase and win the championship he still holds in the present. )
Kyra Phillips: Met with much adulation and fanfare, Ms. Extreme was back in the professional wrestling business. She had shaken up the pinnacle of the sport and the reception was positive. But not everybody on Showdown was pleased to see “The Red Queen” back in action.
( Ms. Extreme’s run-ins with Kassidy Heart are spotlighted. “The Mauler” teaming alongside Impact against Ms. Extreme and Jake Smith. Their back-and-forths, be that on the microphone or throwing punches, kicks and forearms shown. Then of course, their eventual match-up. Taking place at King of Elite, we see Ms. Extreme hitting a flurry of moves onto Kassidy, dropping her onto her head over-and-over again. A Saito Suplex. A Modified Brainbuster, Ms. Extreme goes for the pinfall — and of course, Kennedy Street’s music hits. The stipulation is changed mid-match, Ms. Extreme’s advantage and potential chance at pinning the now Grand Rampage winner, up in smoke. Kassidy would go on to win the bout, thanks to a Chanel No. 5 through both a ladder and a table. Ms. Extreme is seen unconscious on the canvas as Kassidy Heart stares daggers through her, as she sluggishly moves up the entrance ramp. )
Kyra Phillips: In her defiance of authority, Ms. Extreme became an icon. A face of the rebellion alongside names like Adam Lucas and Donovan Duke. She became the antithesis of Heidi Huxley and Kennedy Street and the favouritism they had shown in their regime. But Kennedy Street held all the power in their dynamic, and she wasn’t afraid to showcase that power, sending hordes of talent in hopes of putting a permanent end to Ms. Extreme’s resistance.
( We see snippets of Ms. Extreme’s matches against the likes of Jack Ripley at Reasonable Doubt and against Jon Kelton, as well as the formation of The Devolution, Kennedy Street’s personal “hit squad”. Ms. Extreme meanwhile would find herself a bandit of allies in the duo of Ryan Joseph Wilson and Xander Payne, also known as DOMINION. The return of Pandora Paisley is also given significant attention. Ms. Extreme would take one step forward, only for Kennedy Street to push her two steps back. Whenever Ms. Extreme would get her hands on the authority figure, she was capable of wriggling out, using every trick in the book to avoid being held accountable for her actions over the last five months. )
( We move forward to Grand Rampage, where the trio of Ms. Extreme, Ryan Joseph Wilson and Xander Payne fought against Amir Yusuf, Jon Kelton and Pandora Paisley. Highlights include Ryan attacking Amir with a pair of nunchaku, Jon connecting with a light tube shot on Xander, almost scoring the pinfall — however the match would end with DOMINION hitting the Made in Canada on a hapless Amir, seeing Kennedy’s efforts thwarted. Naturally, however, this was long after Ms. Extreme and Pandora Paisley had trailed off backstage in the midst of a brawl. Ms. Extreme is ran over after eating a kick to the chest, Kennedy being revealed as the one to do so before encouraging Pandora to hit her with a CATastrophe. )
Kyra Phillips: At Fighting Spirit, Ms. Extreme and Pandora Paisley’s feud would conclude, with the stipulation being that should Ms. Extreme win, she’d get to face Kennedy Street at Pain for Pride and end her reign as Showdown’s General Manager once and for all, putting a stop to her exploits and all the issues she has caused Ms. Extreme and her friends. But of course, Kennedy had an ace up her sleeve after Ms. Extreme did win. An ace that was much more troublesome and challenging than anything Ms. Extreme had come up against to this point.
( We cut back to a couple of weeks ago, a contract signing between Ms. Extreme and Kennedy Street to make their match at Pain for Pride official. Ms. Extreme signed her half of the contract however Kennedy Street hesitated, causing Ms. Extreme to launch a verbal attack on the General Manager — one that was interrupted by the appearance of Impact, a man looking to further his own agenda at the biggest show known to professional wrestling. Impact would take Ms. Extreme down before signing the contract on Kennedy’s behalf, meaning that we’ll see the two of them fight at Pain for Pride! Last week, Impact explained his reasonings for doing so and scolded Ms. Extreme’s offence on not only the General Manager, but on the Disney reign over Elite Answers Wrestling as a whole. We see one last graphic confirming that the match we’ll see at Pain for Pride will see Impact taking on Ms. Extreme, before we got back to Kyra. )
Kyra Phillips: At Pain for Pride, we’ll see the next step in Ms. Extreme’s quest to put an end to Kennedy Street’s, and by extension The Walt Disney Company’s exploits. Kennedy will undoubtedly be watching up close-and-person for this next installment, as “The Problem Child” takes on a mammoth task in the ten-time World Champion in Impact. Will we see her quest for answers put to a bloody, permanent end? Or will she overcome Impact and step closer than she’s ever been into getting her hands on, and justice from, Kennedy Street.
( We slowly transition elsewhere following this insightful piece into the arising problems between Ms. Extreme and Kennedy Street, from here we move into our next segment of the evening. )
[SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY]
(The scene opens with the lovely and energetic Mikaela Street as she waves to the camera, sitting next to her is none other than Alex Myers and they look ready for the Cash In the Vault match at Pain For Pride.)
Mikaela Street: OMG! Alex Myers! It’s so exciting to talk to you! Thanks so much for being here!
Alex Myers: Thank you so much for having me here, Mikaela. It’s a pleasure to be sitting here right now.
Mikaela Street: First question, how would you sum up your Season 16 on Showdown?
Alex Myers: How would I sum up my season sixteen? Well, it was full of ups and downs, especially taking part in the Showdown brand. I started the season as the New Breed Champion. Once I lost that championship, I would ultimately peak, and that is where I feel like the true run of the Guardian Angel would start. I know that my first marquee main event match never went the way that I would have planned once Jack Ripley screwed me out of the opportunity of becoming the Answers World Champion and keeping Hurricane Hawk’s job as the Showdown general manager, but I would end up cutting the head off of the snake at the end of the year within a coffin match, shoving him into the coffin and closing the lid. I have had my fair share of opportunities throughout this season. Some where I made the absolute most out of them, and some where I feel like I could’ve won. Where I could have done better than I actually did. My time on Showdown has been a bumpy road, but I’m looking to end the season right, and I’m going to make sure I do exactly that.
(Mikaela looks intrigued by their answer.)
Alex Myers: But most importantly Mikaela, I made a lot of progress during my time on the Showdown brand throughout all of sixteen. I have been given opportunity after opportunity to learn from my mistakes and to be in the main event, and looked at as one of the very best that Showdown has to offer, and that is exactly what I have been doing, and I am extremely grateful that I was ever given the opportunity of being able to be on this brand. It’s been a bumpy road, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Showdown helped me show my true potential of the Guardian Angel to the whole entire world. This was the brand that I could show up and just wrestle. Just wrestle and prove myself as more than what people may have looked upon me as, and I hope I can spend more of my career on this brand moving forward from this season and beyond. I have learned from my mistakes in the past and I have progressed forward, and I truly feel like that has gotten me to where I am today. The position that I see myself in right now. I’m really grateful.
Mikaela Street: Okay…. Now how are you going to approach the Cash in the Vault match at Pain for Pride?
Alex Myers: This is a very interesting question. How is Alex Myers going to approach the Cash In The Vault ladder match? What is my strategy? What am I going to do to make sure that I can assure that the victory will be in my grasp by the time that the ending bell of the match sounds at Pain For Pride? And Mikaela, I know you were looking for a definitive answer when you asked me this question, and I don’t mean to be rude like I am dodging the question, but I’m going to be honest with you right now. I don’t have much of a specific approach. I know that the others in this match is going to have that approach, I know that they are going to make sure they do whatever is in their best interest to assure that the briefcase is theirs by the time the match is over, but I have nothing in specific when it comes to this type of match. Where anything can happen. Where anyone can win. I need to stay on my feet, and I am going to make sure I do by doing whatever I need to do.
Mikaela Street: That is for sure, many consider you the biggest risk taker in the EAW.
Alex Myers: That may be true. But, just know that I do know things. I know things about Elitists in this match that they probably don’t even know about themselves. I have been paying attention this whole season. I’m not stupid, and I’m not going to act like I am stupid. I’m seeking out validation. I’m seeking out the value of the Cash In The Vault briefcase. Ever since I assured myself a spot in the match at Pain For Pride, I have been digging deep into the history of the match, as well as the briefcase. I can’t say I have a strategy or an approach, but what I can say is that; sometimes when you have a Detective as a girlfriend, information that you need can come to you very naturally. You can be told things that you already knew, and you can learn things that you never did know, and I am looking to use that to my advantage at Pain For Pride. All of the knowledge and information that I have over my opponents. Some knowledge that they may not even know about themselves really. I’m willing to do anything to make sure that I assure the victory is mine.
(Mikaela nods before asking the next question.)
Mikaela Street: What does this mean to you and what could lead into Season 17?
Alex Myers: This means a whole lot to me, Mikaela. The Cash In The Vault briefcase means a lot to me, the Cash In The Vault ladder match in general means a whole lot to me and my future. It’s like I said, I have been seeking out validation throughout this season. I have been seeking for living proof that I can carry along with me that all the progress that I have made throughout this season alone has all been worth it, and that I have been doing it correctly. That I have been learning from all of my mistakes in a correct manner and I have been bettering myself off of them. I have had many opportunities in the past year to become the Answers World Champion, and in those opportunities I have failed to accomplish it. I have failed to become champion, and I have accepted that. I have accepted that on some occasions I may not have been ready for it, or on other occasions, my opponent and reigning champion was just better than me on that night. That’s why this briefcase means so much to me. It represents growth. That’s where season seventeen comes in.
(Looking on, Mikaela crosses her legs listening carefully.)
Alex Myers: By winning the Cash In The Vault briefcase at Pain For Pride next week, if I do win, that means that it will almost be a guarantee that by the time that season seventeen comes to a close next year, I will be, or would have already been a world champion. And that is what I have always chased the most out of anything else; becoming world champion, and it seems that if my closest destination of being able to do as such is through the Cash In The Vault ladder match, and winning the Cash In The Vault briefcase, then that is what I am going to do, and I’m not going to hold back whatsoever in my quest of doing so. I can guarantee a world championship within my second or third year in this company, and that means a whole lot to me that I’m sure it does to anyone else involved in the match next week. I may not be able to predict what is to come for me in my career, but I have my expectations. And my expectations are to win. I’m going to make sure I exceed them in the end.
Mikaela Street: What do you have to say about your other five opponents in the match?
Alex Myers: What do I have to say to my other opponents in the match? Well, not much really. At least, I don’t have much to say right now. I want to make sure that I don’t waste much of my breath because I am going to have an awful lot to say TO them during the week leading into Pain For Pride. But what I can say right now is that I understand the passion from these five other Elitists. And I can see the passion that they have to win the briefcase, much like the passion I have to win. We all have a common goal at Pain For Pride, and that is to win the Cash In The Vault. I personally know both Ruler and Joso from our time outside of EAW. I have grown a good friendship with Donovan Duke and I have learned quite a lot about them during my time in EAW. I don’t know much about Sheridan Muller and Miku Sakai as it may stand, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t know enough about them that I do need to know. Everyone in this match wants to guarantee a win for themselves.
(Another nod from Mikaela.)
Alex Myers: They want to become world champion sooner rather than later, much like I do, and I respect them out of them. I don’t hold any grudges or disdain for anyone who is involved in this match, and for the ones who I used to have a disliking for, those were put to the side by the end of it. So it’s going to be nothing personal on my part in this match. It’s going to be strictly business for me. Because it’s about my future. Does that sound selfish? Maybe it does, but sometimes you have to be selfish in order to achieve what you desire. You understand what I’m trying to say, Mikaela? Everyone else in this match is going to be just as selfish to win, so I might as well do the same, and I am going to make sure that I do exactly that. This is a match that I really need to win and I’m going to stick by that. I’m going to make sure of that. I’m of course going to have a lot more to say, but that is all that I’m going to comment on at this point in time.
Mikaela Street: Any last words?
Alex Myers: This match at Pain For Pride is everything to me. This is the promises that I have to make, the sacrifices that I have to make to keep those promises. The Cash In The Vault ladder match and that briefcase guarantees that I am going to be a world champion one way or another, and I’m not going to pass on the opportunity. I know that I say this a lot, and that sometimes it ends up meaning nothing, but I truly believe that I can’t lose this match. I believe that I need to win next week, and I believe that I am going to do whatever it takes to make sure that by the end of the match, I am going to be sitting at the very top of that ladder that will be set up in the middle of the ring, and I am going to be the one who is holding the Cash In The Vault briefcase high into the air, and prove to the world that I can become the star that everyone knows that I can be. I mean, I didn’t win the Next Up In 2023 award for no reason, right?
Alex Myers: I need to win at Pain For Pride. And I need to make sure that I end this season off right. And thank you for giving me this time here tonight to be able to speak ahead of my match, Mikaela. I hope I have cleared things up.
(Smiling, she nods excitedly.)
Mikaela Street: Totally! Thank you so much for your time and good luck at Pain for Pride, I know you will be awesome out there!
Alex Myers: Thanks again.
(Mikaela turns back to the camera.)
Mikaela Street: You heard it from Alex Myers, a favorite in the Cash in the Vault and what will the future hold for them in Season 17? Well… I am all out of time, remember Mikaela Knows Best! Byeeeeeeeeee! XOXO
(The camera fades into a commercial break showing the newest promotional video of the Cash In The Vault at Pain For Pride.)
(It now transitions to the next REWIND match of Season 16)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: And it is FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!
(‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande is heard replacing as the boos and negative receptions from the audience within Rogers Arena grow up to a boiling point. The number one contender for the National Elite Championship makes her way to the ring with a devilish smirk on her lips, taking her sweet time not being in a rush as she makes a brushing motion of the crowd’s reaction before getting in the ring. Once inside she looks at the camera making a belt motion at her waistline. Her intentions are clear. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!! FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT!! WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS!! SHE IS ‘THE PRINCESS OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING’ VEEENAAAAAAAA AAAADAAAAMSSSSS!!!!
Deadprez: Veena has been on a mission as of late with only one goal in mind: Taking the National Elite Championship away from its current holder. Will she be able to do what her illustrious uncle failed to do at the beginning of Donovan’s historic run? We’re on the verge of finding out!
Gavin Kirkland: Love her, hate her, or love to hate her there is no doubt when it comes to her prowess and her skills inside the ring. Tonight will be a test to all of those as she faces a man who has managed to take down every single challenger that tried to stop his run. He won’t be an easy target, and she will need everything she’s got and more if she wants to leave Vancouver with the Championship.
(As Veena is waiting for her opponent with growing impatience, ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church is heard replacing ‘I’m a Wanted Man’ to an absolutely loud positive reception from the crowd, as Donovan Duke is seen making his way out to the ring with the National Elite Championship around his waist full of energy, looking absolutely ready for his match tonight. He wastes no time as he starts making his way down to the ring, looking forward to starting his match here tonight.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT!! FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!! WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!! HE IS THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!! “THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN” DOOONOOOVAAAN DUUUUKKEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: What can be said about the man who holds the record of the longest reign as National Elite Champion in EAW history? He has several detractors, but no matter what is said negatively about him he always stepped up to the plate, and his record up to tonight has shown that he is amongst the very best to hold that title! Perhaps even THE best now with that record-breaking title reign!
Gavin Kirkland: He has yet to face someone the likes of Veena Adams though, but Donovan never backed down from a challenge and this isn’t going to change tonight. Veena presents a unique challenge and we will see if she will be one puzzle Duke will be able to solve in just a few moments’ time!
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! THIS MATCH FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!!! This should be a very interesting battle between these two who’s been mouthing off at each other all week leading up to this very moment!
Eve: Deadprez: Both opponents are staring at one other from each other’s corner, Veena has piercing eyes that could kill with a glance and Donovan has the confidence of a record-breaking Champion! Duke makes the first move making his way toward Adams who-Ah Come On! She moves her upper body between the ropes causing the official to get between her and Duke AND THEN SHE DOGS HIM IN THE MOUTH!!! What a cheap shot!
Gavin Kirkland: What are you talking about? The Princess of EAW’s been working hard for this opportunity and if she deems fit to take every possible road in order to get her first-ever Championship then she will!! Look at them out there booing her! They don’t know the first thing about what it’s like to be wrestling Royalty!
Eve: And you do? Don’t answer that, please.
Deadprez: Donovan holds his jaw leaned forward and Veena goes on the offensive with an elbow to the back of the head! Back rake with her nails as Duke makes his way to a corner AND SHE THEN THROWS A HEADBUTT AT HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: Few quick kicks to the midsection of Duke who’s against the corner before winding up and throwing a hard lef-DUKE SLIPS BY IT AND VEENA IS NOW IN THE CORNER! A palm strike by Duke on Veena’s chest followed by an elbow strike and a series of punches before he hops on the second rope!
Eve: Veena’s smart she quickly moves under him and away to the center of the ring but Donovan is quickly turning and moves toward her. She turns around and gets a shoot kick to the leg! He follows it with a kick to the chest that gets Veena reeling against the ropes.
Deadprez: Again she moves her upper body through the middle ropes and Donovan goes to hit her with a punch SHE GOES UPSIDE DOWN LIKE A TABLE SOCCER PLAYER!! DUKE HITS HER AGAIN AS SHE SWINGS BACK UP AND SHE GOES UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN! HE HITS HER A FEW TIMES THIS WAY TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD!!
Gavin Kirkland: The last punch sends her crumbling down the outside of the ring. Veena tries to create separation but Duke is pressing on striking at her against the barricades surrounding the ring. He throws a double ax handle to her back forcing her against the barricade AND HE SMACKS HER HEAD AGAINST IT!!
Eve: To her knees goes Adams as she tries to her up BUT THEN SHE SUDDENLY GRABS DUKE BY THE WAIST HOISTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE BARRICADE BETWEEN HIS LEGS!!! DONOVAN’S FACE SAYS IT ALL FOLKS!!
Deadprez: AND VEENA WITH A CLOTHESLINE KNOCKING DUKE OFF OF IT!
Veena Adams: Awww poor bastard. Here, you thirsty?
Deadprez: She grabs a beer from a nearby fan and splashes the content of it all over Duke! She’s looking to humiliate the Champion as she then moves him into a headlock and repeatedly pummels him over the head before the official can start counting!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena in control of the match at the moment as she moves to whip Duke towards a corner post BUT HE REVERSED IT AND SHE ENDS UP SMACKING LIPS ON THE COLD POST!! DOWN TO A KNEE SHE GOES But Duke sends her inside the ring.
Eve: He moves up the apron and cleans his boots off before getting inside, a sign of respect to the business and the sanctity of the ring as he then goes on the attack! Going for basic moves as he scoop slams Mister Dedede’s niece to the ground, he picks her up by the back of the head and repeats the manoeuver! And he goes for it a third time!! Veena looks in a whole lot of pain and Duke moves to the nearest corner he’s thinking high risk!
Deadprez: This could pay off big or blow in his face hard but look at Veena rolling out of dodge and towards the opposite corner! Duke hops down from the corner and charges towards her BUT SHE MOVES AWAY AND DONOVAN ENDS UP SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST!!
Gavin Kirkland: Great ring awareness by the Princess who now is moving towards Duke like a shark that smells blood and she brings Duke near us putting his arm the announcer table! She puts a feet on it AND STEPS ON OUR TABLE PUTTING ALL HER WEIGHT ON IT!! SHE THEN DROPS A KNEE ON IT AS SHE SLIDES OFF THE TABLE!
Eve: The crowd is booing massively but Veena doesn’t care what so ever waving them off dismissively with a hand as she grabs Duke by the head and whips him back inside the ring.
Veena Adams: What a joke! I can’t believe you actually managed to defeat my uncl-UGH!!
Deadprez: Duke fights back Veena’s lip with a knife-edge chop! Followed by another! Veena is staggering and Duke throws a straight out punch her way and it lands on target! The Champion then throws an elbow before going to the ropes AND HE GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH A JAPANESE ARMDRAG!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke gets quickly up to his feet but he gets stopped by a knee to the gut and Veena moves to scoop slam him as well! She goes for it a second time! And a third time! COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The Champ kicks out at one! Veena stares daggers at the official who confirms the one count she shrugs. Moving to her feet she goes to the official’s face arguing that he should be counting faster and he isn’t doing his job right!
Veena Adams: If you end up costing me the match I’m going to kick your a-AAAAAHHH!!!!
Eve: DONOVAN WITH THE SUPRISE ROLL-UP!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEE-
Eve: VEENA WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! DONOVAN ALMOST HAD HER!!!
Deadprez: Donovan with a headlock now and a knee to the ground before he moves himself and her upward and then throws Veena into the ropes, he hits the deck and she hops over him. Into the ropes, she goes as he gets up and-
Eve: SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!!! THE SPEAR BY VEENA ADAMS!!!! THIS COULD BE A TURNING POINT EARLY ON IN THIS MATCH!!! COVER BY VEENA!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: DUKE WITH THE SHOULDER UP KEEPS HIS TITLE REIGN ALIVE!!!
Deadprez: Veena goes ”UGH!!!” in annoyance as she felt she had this bagged with the ode to her uncle our founding father Ryan Adams. She looks down at Duke with scorn he who is slowly getting up but clutching at his side. Veena to the ropes now rushing at him AND POUNCES OVER HIM WITH THE THEZ PRESS!!! DOWN THEM GO AND SHE THROWS DOWN PUNCHES AFTER PUNCH EACH LOOKING STIFFER THAN THE OTHER ON THE HEAD AND FACE OF DONOVAN!!
Gavin Kirkland: She gets off of him and goes to the ropes before making his way back to him and dropping an elbow onto him before talking heavy smack to him! Veena is very aggressive right now as she gets the Champion to his feet before striking hard at him with a Kesagiri chop square on his neck!
Eve: Donovan holds to his neck a moment, staggering backward but Veena closes the gap fast scooping him up and slamming him down before moving to the nearby corner, to the top rope Veena’s thinking high risk AND SHE PLUNGES INTO A CORKSCREW ELBOW DROP! IT LANDS ON DONOVAN WITH DEADLY PRECISION!
Deadprez: She quickly does a kip-up to get to her feet, the crowd boos her and she looks out there with a rolling of the eyes as she then waits on Donovan to start getting back to his feet BEFORE STRIKING HIM WITH A CARTWHEEL KICK! Down goes Duke and Veena move to the ropes behind him, he is getting up while she gives herself momentum dashing his way, AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!!
Veena Adams: Come on Duke, this is getting sad in here.
Gavin Kirkland: The Princess is in control now as she circles around Donovan smacking him behind the head AND THEN GOES FOR THE TREE OF WOE!! SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN AND DONOVAN ISN’T ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM IT!! HIS ARMS ARE FLAILING!!!!
Eve: DUKE IS TRYING TO MOVE WITH VEENA SNAKED AROUND HER!! HE IS CLOSE TO THE ROPES IS HE GOING TO GRAB ON AND SURVIVE BEFORE HIS BODY GIVES IN???
…
…
…
Eve: HIS HANDS ARE SHAKING!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I SEE HIM TAP!!!! HE’S TA-
Deadprez: NO HE ISN’T!!! HIS HANDS WERE JUST SHAKING AND DUKE MANAGES SOMEHOW SOMEWHAT TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I could’ve sworn I saw his hands tap.
Eve: You get too excited sometimes Gavin, makes you see things wrong. Calm down a bit eh bud?
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah…
Deadprez: Meanwhile inside the ring Veena slips away from Donovan right before the official could call a count of five she’s been looking to inflict more damage on him but it wasn’t enough to put the man away!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena moves to Donovan with a leg sweep followed by a scissors stomp followed by a stiff elbow smash! Duke to his back now and Adams throw down heavy MMA-style strikes chained by elbow strikes and some palms! She gets up and waits for her opponent to get vertical before taking him down with a single-leg takedown AND THEN THE ANKLE LOCK!! SHE’S GOT THE ANKLE LOCK IN!!!
Eve: BUT DUKE MANAGES TO REACH TO THE ROPES!! YET VEENA DOESN’T CARE AS SHE KEEPS THE HOLD LOCKED IN UNTIL THE OFFICIAL ALMOST CALLS IT. She finally lets him go, what damage will that have brought to Duke’s mobility?
Deadprez: Veena moves away from Duke leaning lazily against the ropes and looking down on Donovan BEFORE CHARGING AT HIM WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE THAT CONNECTS!! DOWN GOES DUKE and she grabs hold of a leg of his setting him up for A SINGLE LEG CRAB!! She’s pulling with all the force she can muster and Duke is in a world of hurt!!
Veena Adams: I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY DONOVAN!!! ALL FUCKING DAY!!!!
Deadprez: That mouth on that woman.
Gavin Kirkland: She let go of Donovan’s leg BEFORE GRABBING AT HIS WAIST AND DEADLIFT HIM INTO AN OVERHEAD SUPLEX WOAH!!! DUKE LANDS ALMOST SQUARE ON HIS NECK WITH THAT MANOEUVER!! Donovan remains down for a moment which is enough it seems for Veena to head to a corner and hop on the top turnbuck;e. She’s thinking high risk folks as Donovan is slowly moving to his feet. SHE DESCENDS UPON HIM WITH A DIVING CROSS BODY!!! Perfectly executed!!!
Eve: Agreed! The crowd boos her efforts as she gets to her feet before Duke does and takes him back down to the mat with a springboard knee strike that could break a nose as it smacked him in the face hard!! Duke, ever the resilient man showing heart is moving to get back to his feet despite the pain of Adams’ latest string of attacks and she continues on that sequence with a running European uppercut! Donovan backs himself into a corner and gets another uppercut then some body shots and some elbows to the face BEFORE SITTING DOWN AGAINST THE CORNER FOLLOWING AN ENZIGUIRI FROM VEENA!!
Deadprez: Veena with a boot to the neck of Donovan for as long as she can, until the referee starts counting and takes it off Donovan’s neck just before she could get disqualified before she rushes to the opposite corner and then quickly turns and dashes to Donovan COLLIDING INTO HIM WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!!! She quickly gets up and repeats the motion but the end result is a RUNNING KNEE TO DUKE’S FACE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She then moves him to stand up and sends him flying with a rolling underhook suplex! She holds onto Donovan and repeats the motion! BLAM another suplex and then a THIRD ONE!! She calls that sequence the Effective and she goes for a cover right after the third suplex!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DUKE WITH THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!!
Veena Adams: WHAT???
Eve: Apparently Veena can barely believe Donovan kicked out of that one! She goes up, he follows forced by her and gets Irish whipped into a corner quickly followed by an elbow smash! She goes to the opposite corner before charging in BUT DUKE STEPS ASIDE AND VEENA GOES AGAINST THE CORNER POST!!!
Deadprez: Donovan now looking to get control of the match following quite a brutal sequence from his opponent ad a few near falls! Veena is thrown into the ropes and bounces her way back towards the Champion WHO CLOCKS HER WITH OLE RELIABLE!!! A STRAIGHT RIGHT HOOK TO THE JAW TAKES DOWN MISTER DEDE’S NIECE!!
Gavin Kirkland: This looks like it surprised Veena who’s getting back to her feet but she gets quickly clotheslined back down! She gets up fairly quickly again ONLY to be taken down once more by a clothesline! AND A THIRD ONE! Veena refuses to stay down BUT SHE GET’S TAKEN DOWN AGAIN THIS TIME THANKS TO A LARIAT!! Duke almost looks amused at this point as he dares Adams to get vertical again and just as she does but slower than before he gets her in a military press position!! He’s Bench Pressing Her!!!
Eve: He does a few reps with her AND THEN MOVES HER TO A VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION KEEPING HER UP IN A CANDLE POSITION!!! Okay at this point the Champion is showing off! We know he’s strong AND THEN HE DRILLS VEENA DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM!!! COVER BY THE CHAMPION!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: And Veena lifts the shoulder up! And this match continues!!
Deadprez: Donovan moves back to a vertical position and brings Veena along with him. Knee to the midsection before moving to her side and taking her down with him with a swinging neckbreaker. He doesn’t let go of her however as he forces her to her feet, into the ropes she’s thrown followed by a kick to the gut AND A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke doesn’t seem to be done as he moves upward with a kip-up and then waits for Veena to get up BEFORE GRABBING HER BY THE HEAD AND DRILL IT TO THE MAT WITH A SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER!!!
Eve: Look At Duke Doing Push-Ups next to Veena!!
Donovan Duke: I can do this all day too, bitch!
Eve: The crowd loves it!! Veena looks dazed and offended, I mean confused as she is now on her knees holding her jaw and Duke doesn’t give her much of a break. He scoops her on his shoulders into a fireman’s carry and takes her down WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!! He moves to get her up once more, whipping her into the ropes AND GOES FOR A FALLAWAY SLAM FOLLOWED BY A COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Deadprez: VEENA KICKS OUT!! That one was close!
Gavin Kirkland: It sure was! But the Princess isn’t going to be disposed of so easily! She is going to fight for a chance to be known as Champion! GO VEENA!!!!!
Eve: You have to commend her for the resilience she is putting on display along with her heart even if she is rather heartless.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey now.
Eve: Regardless, she is moving up and to her knees BEFORE GETTING A FACE FULL OF DONOVAN’S WHO RAN TO HER!! She doesn’t go down but she is on her knees. To the ropes goes Duke who leaps off the second rope AND BRINGS DOWN ADAMS WITH A HURRICANRANA!!!!
Deadprez: Veena in trouble once more as she is moving to her hands and knees, Duke is back to a vertical base positioning himself behind her AND THROWS HER OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! VEENA FLIES TO THE CENTER OF THE RING and gets up stumbling. She’s staggering AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH A SITOUT JAWBREAKER!!
Gavin Kirkland: This doesn’t bode well for the chances Veena has to prove to herself she has whati it takes to dethrone who many sees as a phony Champion in Donovan Duke!
Eve: Yet, he’s proven time and time again that he has earned every single day of his title reign through defeating incredible opponents INCLUDING her uncle! He was one of the first to fall against Duke actually.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah… Well… Still!
Deadprez: Look at the Champions he is in a corner prone and stomping the floor, are we going to see a superkick? He’s telegraphing it though will Veena pick up on this? SHE DOESN’T!!! AND SHE GETS ALL OF DUKE’S BOOT SQUARE ON HER FACE!!! DOWN GOES THE CHALLENGER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON VEENA!!! Oh no look at that damn Duke he’s in the corner again and he’s looking for a spear! Is he really going to try and pull Mister Dedede’s signature move to add insult to injury to Veena?
Eve: He’s waiting on her, she’s getting up slowly, there he goes! SHE DUCKS!!! HE GOES TO THE ROPES, SO DOES SHE AND NAILS DUKE WITH THE SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!! SHE COUNTERED THE SPEAR WITH ONE OF HER OWN!!! COVER BY ADAMS!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Eve: Kickout by Duke!! SHE ROLLS HIM UP THIS TIME SHE HAS THE TIGHTS!! BUT THE OFFICIAL NOTICES AND DOESN’T COUNT HER! She’s livid that she got caught! She goes to argue with the official a second before turning around and-
Deadprez: SHE WALKED RIGHT INTO DONOVAN’S HANDSPRING STUNNER!!!! SHE FLIES TO HER BACK FROM THE IMPACT!!! COVER BY DUKE!! COULD THIS BE ENOUGH???
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Deadprez: VEENA WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! And she rolls to the outside of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: The sold out Vancouver crowd boos Veena’s decision as Donovan goes after her! He spins her around BUT gets raked to the eyes! Veena tries a comeback with a series of elbows to the head and face of Duke who looks stunned. She goes to the apron, what will she do? She takes a few steps before going for a hurricanra-NAH! NAH SHE IS HELD BY THE LEGS BY DONOVAN! HE HAS HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!
Eve: SHE LAYS HER ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE BUT IT DOESN’T BREAK AND VEENA BOUNCES ON IT! Wow how did our table didn’t crumble under this?? This is a miracle normally this table’s so fragile!
Deadprez: The official is ordering Duke to take the action back inside the ring, he obliges leaving Veena on our table a… Wait… What is he doing? He’s moving on the top turnbuckle closes to our ta…
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no… No… No no DON’T YOU FRACKING DARE!!!!
Eve: LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: DONOVAN DUKE WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND THROUGH VEENA AND OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE THAT EXPLODED TO PIECES!!!! OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!
Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!!
Deadprez: BOTH DONOVAN AND VEENA AREN’T MOVING SURROUNDED BY TABLE DEBRIS AND THE CROWD IS BLOWING OFF THE ROOF OF ROGERS ARENA!!! WHAT A MOVE BY DONOVAN DUKE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SOMEONE PLEASE SENT SOME EMT TO LOOK AFTER THE PRINCESS!!!
Eve: Donovan and Veena thus far have shown us just how far they are willing to go in order to leave Vancouver with a win but more importantly the National Elite Championship! Donovan slowly begins to stir, and so is Veena and the official has no choice now but to start counting them out!
ONE! TWO!!
THREE!!! FOUR!!!!
Deadprez: Both of them are crawling toward the ring!
FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: PLEASE HAVE AT LEAST VEENA MAKE IT IN THERE ON TIME!!!!!
NINE!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T WATCH!!!!!
TEN!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: THEY BOTH MANAGE TO MAKE IT INSIDE THE RING AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena though decides to retreat to the outside once again. Donovan is on his back taking a breather but he sees Veena to the outside and heads her way. The official warns them but both are focused on one another!
Eve: VEENA WITH A VIOLENT AND SUDDENLY ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF DONOVAN WHO CRUMBLES ATOP OF THE BARRICADES NEAR THEM!! Suddenly Veena is quickly heading inside the ring seeing Donovan isn’t moving. She’s… Oh no she’s going TOPSIDE!!!!
Deadprez: What can she possibly have in mind?? If she jumps that barricade has no give at all!!
Gavin Kirkland: TWISTED VEEEENNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS LIKE AN ANGEL ATHLETICALLY SOARING THROUGH THE SKIES!!!!!
Eve: AND SHE LANDS SQUARE ON TOP OF DONOVAN!!! HOLY HELL HE MAY HAVE HIS RIBS AND MORE BROKEN WITH THIS!!!!!!! WHAT A DARING MOVE BY ADAMS WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE’S HURTING AS WELL BUT SHE IS BACK TO HER FEET! DONOVAN LOOKS LIKE HE’S ALMOST UNCONSCIOUS!!!
Deadprez: SHE’S MOVING HIM INSIDE THE RING AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN!! THIS MANOENVER COULD’VE SIGNALLED THE END FOR DONOVAN!!! HE’S NOT MOVING!!!! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS IT!!!!!!!

Eve: DONOVAN KICKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY GAWD!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: VEENA’S SHOCKED SHE CANT’ BELIEVE HER ENEMY JUST CANT BE PUT DOWN ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT BRUTAL TWISTED VEENA AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!!!
Veena Adams: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING DIIIIIIEEEE?!??!!??!?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: Her screams are sounding shivers down my spine I’m not going to lie.
Deadprez: She wants to end this and she’s going to a corner she’s calling for the Spear again she looks like she could be foaming at the mouth she can sense the end is near. Donovan is slowly getting up, he doesn’t seem to know where she is. She has her teeth clenched she’s seething AND SHE CHARGES!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!!
Eve: DEALER’S CHOICE!!!! THE SPINNING BACK FIST STOPS VEENA DEAD IN HER TRACKS!!!! DONOVAN HAD HER SCOUTED ALL ALONG!!! Leg sweep from Donovan who picks Veena’s legs and… WE’RE GOING FOR A RIDE FOLKS!!! THE GAMBLER’S ROULETTE!!! ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND DUKE GOES!!!!

Eve: AND HE DROPS VEENA AT TWENTY-FIVE!!! SHE LANDS HARD BUT HE’S A BIT WOOZY HIMSELF!
Deadprez: He goes to a knee holding his head but he has to try and make good on the opening he just made for himself with that massive big swing! Donovan has an incredible opportunity to put this match away and keep his Championship dream alive!
Gavin Kirkland: At this point, I don’t know who’s going to win this match! Duke grabs hold of Veena, whipping her hard against a corner and she crumbles near it flat on her back. Donovan is calling for Stack The Deck! His Phoenix Splash!! HE LEAPS! IT LANDS!!!
Eve: BUT LOOK!!!!!!
Deadprez: VEENA GOT DONOVAN IN THE KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!!! SHE’S GOT THE KIMURA LOCK TIGHTLY IN HOW DID SHE EVEN COME UP WITH THAT IDEA??? SHE’S TRYING TO THE THE MATCH NOW SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK DONOVAN’S ARM!!!

Eve: HOW IN THE HOLIEST HELL????????
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen I can’t believe my eyes! DONOVAN LIFTED THE SHOULDERS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!! VEENA IS SEETHING SHE’S ABOUT TO LOSE HER MARBLES AS SHE HITS THE MAT WITH PUNCHES WITH BOTH HANDS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s looking at the official, if looks could kill he would’ve been vaporized as if Thanos snapped him out of existence! She looks down at Donovan and goes for a wristlock and shoulder lock combo AND BEGINS TO THROW VARIOUS KICKS TO THE HEAD OF DUKE!!!! SHE KICKS AND KICKS AND KICKS SOME MORE!!! DONOVAN TAKES IT ALL AND VEENA IS SCREAMING LIKE A WILD WOMAN!!!!!
Eve: Look at Donovan guys!!! HE’S UNCONSCIOUS!!!!!!
Deadprez: THE OFFICIAL CALLS FOR THE BELL!!!!!!!!!!!
( ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande is heard playing over the sound system of Rogers Arena as Veena goes to her knees her face in utter shock as she is not only having her lead arm raised by the official but is handed the National Elite Championship as well!! )
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS BOUT…. AND… NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIOON!!! VEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DID IT!!!!! THE PRINCESS DID IT!!!!!!! THE PRINCESS IS A CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!
( The crowd is massively booing at the new Championship who painfully moves to her feet and goes to hop on the second rope and raises the title proudly over her head. The crowd is hugely displeased but Veena doesn’t give a damn whatsoever! )
Deadprez: We have witnessed an incredible battle between two amazingly gifted individuals tonight folks! We can think what we want of Veena Adams but she has shown us tonight that she had with it takes to become a Champion! She showed heart, she showed her killer instinct and she now and forever will be known as a Championship! Congratulations Veena Adams.
Eve: Let’s not forget the now former Champion though, Donovan Duke deserves a year’s worth of praise for what has been a record-breaking run with the Championship! Love him or hate him the man currently has the longest reign in National Elite Championship history and tonight he fought took and nail in order to keep the belt and go over the year-long mark. I’m sure he is disappointed right now, but if I were him I would be proud and look forward to a great future! Tonight though, Veena is the one who will celebrate.
( The final shot is of Veena making her way up the ramp with the Championship over her head and a massive smile going from ear to ear before the camera switches to somewhere else. )
(The next REWIND begins to play going back to the Grand Rampage 2023)
(10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…)
(BUZZ)
( ‘Low of Solipsism II’ by Yoshihisa Hirano plays up.)
Stew-O: 2021 Grand Rampage winner, starting as the first entrant into the match and lasting all the way to the end, eliminating EAW Hall of Famer Impact in the final two. Given the 30th entrant spot by Methuselah this year. Ladies and gentlemen, Drake King is here.
(Drake King slowly begins to make his way out from the backstage area, in no sort of rush to get into this match. All of the Elitists have stopped their fighting inside of the ring, realizing the type of threat someone like him brings. The crowd boos loudly while Drake has his cold gaze fixated solely on the ring.)
Stew-O: Drake has the potential to become a two-time Grand Rampage winner tonight, joining Impact who pulled that off last year, not like he cares about that sort of milestone though. But despite that we all know that he has the full capabilities of accomplishing that feat.
(Drake has reached the bottom of the ramp, slowly grabbing a hold of the ropes and pulling himself onto the apron. He has a look of disdain on his face as he eyes the competition in this match. He enters through the ropes and into the ring, meanwhile Jack Ripley is seen slowly crawling toward the center of the ring after being hit by Joso’s finisher shortly before this…)
Gavin Kirkland: ‘JUDGMENT DAY’!
Stew-O: DRAKE PLANTS JACK BEFORE GRABBING HIM…
Gavin Kirkland: THROWING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Bella Braxton: JACK RIPLEY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Stew-O: Down to 11. Roberto De La Rosa looks to get Drake out early as he makes his way over to him…
Gavin Kirkland: ‘GUILLOTINE’!
Stew-O: SICK KICK CONNECTS! DRAKE GRABS ROBERTO…
Gavin Kirkland: AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AS WELL!
Bella Braxton: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Stew-O: DRAKE KING HAS ALREADY ELIMINATED TWO OF THE TOP STARS IN THIS MATCH AND THEY HAD BEEN IN THERE A LONG TIME!
(The officials check on Roberto and on Jack Ripley as they are both helped up and escorted to the back. Drake King laughs and waves as he turns around,,,,)
Stew-O: HARLEY LEWIS COMES FROM BEHIND AND HE IS READY TO DUMP DRAKE KING OUT! DRAKE KING IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AND HARLEY LEWIS CAN PULL A MAJOR UPSET AND LISTEN TO HIM CACKLING! HE HAS BEEN IN THIS MATCH FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND …..
Persephone: REVOLUTIONIZER! HE JUST CLOCKED HARLEY LEWIS IN THE FACE AND THE PRINCE OF CRIME FALLS OUT OF THE RING AND YES! WE HAVE ANOTHER ELIMINATION!
Bella Braxton: HARLEY LEWIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: It is starting to thin out! There are only ten Elitists remaining! Who will win and got to Pain for Pride! DRAKE KING TURNS AND RULER KICKS DRAKE IN THE STOMACH! HE WHIPS DRAKE ACROSS THE RING AND THERON IS RIGHT THERE WITH A HUGE BOOT! DRAKE FALLS AND QUICKLY GETS BACK UP…. BUT WAIT A SECOND….. WAIT A SECOND….
(Drake suddenly realizes that EVERYONE in the Grand Rampage has stopped fighting. Instead they are all pointing at him, their attention is solely and strictly on Drake and no one else as he finds himself being surrounded by the entire field of nine competitors left.)
Drake King: (Off Mic) Uhh…..
(He continues to look around and every single Elitist there has their eyes set on Drake King.)
Drake King: (Off Mic) Hi.
(Suddenly they all charge Drake King….)
Stew-O: ALL NINE ELITISTS ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF DRAKE KING LIKE HE STOLE SOME LUNCH MONEY! TLA! DONOVAN DUKE! JOSO! RULER! THERON NIKOLAS! CY HENDERSON! BRONSON DANIELS! REX MCALLISTER! EVEN KASSIDY HEART! THEY KNOW THAT HE IS THE FRESHEST OF THE GROUP AND PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER HE DREW! TLA PICKS UP DRAKE AND HITS THE VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!
Persephone: REXY DROPS DRAKE WITH A SNAP DDT FOLLOWED BY A SPLASH FROM JOSO! I MEAN THEY ARE REALLY BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF HIM! THEY CLEAR THE WAY AND CY HENDERSON LOOKS DOWN AT DRAKE BEFORE HOPPING TO THE ROPES, A FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! THIS IS ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL!
(Theron now picks up Drake King, points to the ropes and goes to throw him out…)
Gavin Kirkland: THERON THROWS DRAKE KING OUT OVER THE TOP ROPE…. NO! HE HANGS ON AND THERON RUNS BACK SOME…. HE RUNS AND…. KASSIDY GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND HIS TIGHTS AND LAUNCHES THERON OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: NO! THERON LANDS ON THE APRON AND…. CY HENDERSON WITH A HUGE PUNCH AND THERON FALLS TO THE MATS! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
Bella Braxton: THERON NIKOLAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(CY Henderson then clothesline Kassidy….)
Stew-O: KASSIDY GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE BUT SHE HANGS ON! DRAKE SNEAKS BACK IN AND WAS NOT ELIMINATED! BUT DONOVAN DUKE GRABS CY AND TRIES TO TIP HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! KASSIDY IS ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND BRONSON DANIELS SEES THE OPENING, HE RUNS RIGHT AT THEM….
Persephone: HE THROWS BOTH DONOVAN AND CY HENDERSON OVER THE TOP ROPE! THEY ARE BOTH ELIMINATED!!!
Bella Braxton: DONOVAN DUKE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(CY Henderson hangs on though and slips back into the ring, Bronson doesn’t even know it and he turns around and….)
Stew-O: CY HENDERSON PICKS UP BRONSON AND DROPS HIM IN A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! BRONSON IS ROLLING OUT BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP!
(Donovan Duke is disappointed and escorted to the back, the fans cheer on his performance as there are only 8 competitors left. Ruler grabs Joso, the one guy that has been there long as him and tries to dump him over but he tries to hang on for dear life.)
Persephone: Drake King is back in the ring and TLA is right there to greet him! Everything that they have been through with each other, this is definitely a tasty feud and… TLA IS DROPPING FISTS ON DRAKE AND AR15! HE TOOK DRAKE’S HEAD OFF AND FALLS TO THE MAT! TLA POINTS AT THE ROPES BUT HERE COMES CY HENDERSON AND…. CARTEL KICK! CY HENDERSON GOES DOWN AND HERE IS KASSIDY GRABBING TLA AND….
Stew-O: PIMP SLAP! KASSIDY FALLS TO THE ROPES! NOBODY IS GOING TO DENY TLA NOW! AND HE CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE…. HE IS SET AND BURNOUT!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO! DRAKE KING IS ABLE TO GET HIS KNEES UP AND TLA IS GASPING FOR BREATH! TLA IS UP AND….. CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE BY DRAKE KING…. NOOOOOOO! TLA CRASHES TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: TLA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The crowd boos loudly as he slowly stands up glaring up at Drake King who smiles and waves but that doesn’t last long as Bronson Daniels grabs Drake and….)
Persephone: CHROME HEART TAG! AND DRAKE KING FALLS AND COLLAPSES! BRONSON THOUGH DOESN’T GET THE CHANCE TO REACT…. REX MCALLISTER IS THERE AND HE GRAB BRONSON! REX EFFECT! BRONSON DROPS DOWN HARD! YES SEXY REXY! DO IT FOR MOMMA HERE! DO IT FOR ME!
(Rex then turns and CY Henderson is there, he picks up Rex in a Fireman’s Carry.)
Persephone: NOOOO! LET HIM DOWN YOU PIECE OF [BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP]…. NOW!!!!!
Stew-O: We apologize for Persephone’s language and…. REX FOREARMS HIS WAY OFF OF CY HENDERSON! HE HAS HIM TEETERING AND HE HOPS OFF AND GETS BEHIND CY HENDERSON! REX PUSHES HIM OVER THE ROPES BUT HE HANGS ON! REX POINTS TO THE CROWD! HE IS WINDING UP!
Persephone: YES REXY! YES! DO IT FOR ME! DO IT FOR….
Stew-O: JOSO HITS REX WITH THE GRATEFUL DEATH! REX STUMBLES TO THE ROPES AND KASSIDY HEART RUSHES IN! SHE CLOTHESLINES REX OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE HITS HARD ON THE FLOOR!
Persephone: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: REX MCALLISTER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The fans continue to boo as Joso smirks and points to Rex who is being slowly helped up by the officials. Persephone is seen with her head down on the announce table just in tears.)
Persephone: :mjcry:
Stew-O: Rex McAllsiter with a good showing but we are now down to six competitors and it is thinking down quickly! Cy Henderson is back in the ring! Joso goes after Kassidy Heart and Cy Henderson grabs Drake King! HE STARTS POUNDING ON DRAKE OVER AND OVER! HE IS REALLY LAYING THE FISTS HARD ON HIM AS DRAKE IS TAKING THOSE SHOTS! But here is Ruler! He gets behind CY and CY takes a hard hit on Ruler and backs him up too!
(Cy Henderson is cleaning house and Kassidy is next but he hits her with a stuff right, she falls abc a little, Joso jumps on Cy Henderson’s back.)
Gavin Kirkland: HE FLIPS JOSO OVER AND HE LANDS HARD ON THE MAT! CY HENDERSON KICKS HIM AND HERE IS RULER, BUT CY HENDERSON IS ABLE TO FEND HIM OFF AND THROW HIM OFF…. BUT HERE IS KASSIDY AND SHE GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND! BRONSON DANIELS GRABS HIM AS WELL AND HERE IS JOSO AND RULER! THEY ARE PUSHING CY HENDERSON TO THE ROPES BUT HE CONTINUES TO FIGHT THEM OFF!
Persephone: Oh who cares…. It’s over.
Stew-O: CY HENDERSON IS FIGHTING FOR HIS DEAR LIFE AND THEY HAVE HIM ALMOST OVER AND HERE COMES DRAKE KING…. HERE COMES DRAKE KING…. THE FINAL PUSH! CY HENDERSON CRASHES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDS HARD ON THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: CY HENDERSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(Cy Henderson stands up and kooks out at the fans who give him a huge ovation. He starts to make his way toward the back as the rest of the field look on and suddenly….)
Gavin Kirkland: RULER TURNS RIGHT INTO MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF AND RULER FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHES INTO THE MATS BELOW!
Bella Braxton: RULER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: WE ARE DOWN TO THE FINAL FOUR! JOSO WHO HAS BEEN THERE SINCE NUMBER ONE! KASSIDY SINCE NUMBER FIVE! BRONSON AT 27 AND DRAKE KING AT 30! ONE OF THESE FOUR IS GOING TO MAIN EVENT PAIN FOR PRIDE! WHICH ONE WILL IT BE!
(All four are in their corners. They glare at one another, barely able to feel any pain now as this is the home stretch and the fans are up to their feet as the fur remaining wrestlers are here to win this all.)
Persephone: Oh end this now.
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO ATTACKS KASSIDY HEART! DRAKE AND BRONSON DANIELS CHARGE EACH OTHER! JOSO TAKES THE ADVANTAGE AND IS ABLE TO GET KASSIDY IN THE CORNER! HE KICKS HER OVER AND OVER AS SHE TRIES TO BLOCK IT BUT CAN’T! DRAKE IS TAKING THE BEST FROM BRONSON DANIELS AS THEY GET TO THE OTHER CORNER. THEY LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND BOTH DANIELS AND JOSO POINT AND WHIP KASSIDY INTO DRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Stew-O: BUT NO! KASSIDY REVERSES AND DRAKE STRIKES WITH THE GUILLOTINE! JOSO LOOKS WOBBLY AND DRAKE THROWS HIM AT BRONSON WHO INSTINCTIVELY DUCKS AND LAUNCHES JOSO OVER THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE AND JOS TRIES TO HANG ON!
(Joso flies upside down and tries to hang on…. And…. and…..)
Persephone: Welp…. He just crashed and burned.
Bella Braxton: JOSO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!
(The crowd erupts and Joso just lies on the mats exhausted. He gets a huge standing ovation for his performance here tonight but it was not meant to be. Drake King looks on with a huge smile on his face, Broison shrugs his shoulders and Kassidy can smell the tide is turning and here she goes…)
Gavin Kirkland: THREE LEFT! DYNASTY! SHOWDOWN! VOLTAGE! ALL THREE REPRESENTED!
Stew-O: KASSIDY CHARGES AT BRONSON BUT HE QUICKLY EXPECTED IT, HITTING THE BATMAN PUNCH! KASSIDY STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE KING RUNS AT HER WITH A RIPCORD KNEE! KASSIDY GETS LEVELED AND SHE FALLS, ROLLS TO THE APRON AND DRAKE TURNS….
Gavin Kirkland: ….MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!
Stew-O: NOOOOO! DRAKE SOMEONE HOW WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! BRONSON STUMBLES FORWARD AND…. THE GUILLOTINE!
Persephone: Bronson took that kick right in the face! And he falls to his fours…. Wait….
Stew-O: THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY! HE PUNTED BRONSON SO HARD THAT HE FLEW UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! IS HE GONE! IS BRONSON DANIELS ABLE TO HOLD ON!
Bella Braxton: BRONSON DANIELS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The crowd looks on shocked as Bronson Daniels is laid out on the ground. Joso is already heading to the back and looks behind his shoulder in disappointment. The officials are checking on the fallen Bronson Daniels who looks to need some help. In the ring though Kassidy is slowly trying to get up on her fours…..)
Persephone: THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY!
Stew-O: NOOOOOO! KASSIDY IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND DRAKE KING KICKS THE ROPES! HE STUMBLES BACK AND KASSIDY SPRINTS AGAINST THE ROPES AND GO TO GAWD! SHE BREAKS DRAKE IN HALF!
(Kassidy scrambles fast and picks up Drake, throwing him over the top rope….)
Persephone: YES FINISH THIS…. WAIT NO! VOLTAGE NEEDS TO WIN! DON;T THROW HIM OUT! KEEP HIM IN THE RING!
Stew-O: DRAKE KING IS HANGING ON! HE RAKES THE EYES OF KASSIDY! SHE BREAKS THE HOLD AND FALLS BACK…. DRAKE WITH A BICYCLE KICK! KASSIDY IS STUNNED! SHE FALLS BACK AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES TO WALK INTO OVERHAUL! KASSIDY HEART IS DROPPED AND DRAKE KING STANDS OVER HER! LOOK AT HIM! STRETCHING OUT HIS ARMS!
Drake King: (Off Mic) I DID IT WITHOUT NEW EDEN! WITHOUT ANYONE!
(Drake looks down at Kassidy and smiles, before turning toward the ropes and pointing to throw her out. He slowly grabs her by the hair and lifts her up, glaring into her eyes before running her into the ropes….)
Gavin Kirkland: HE THROWS KASSIDY HEART OVER THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE KING WINS! DRAKE KING WINS! DAMN IT!
Persephone: Bye bitch.
(Kassidy tumbles over the top rope, her feet….)
Stew-O: SHE HELD ONTO THE ROPES! SHE HELD ONTO THE ROPES AND ONLY ONE FOOT TOUCHED! DRAKE THINKS HE WON AND HE LOOKS OVER AT KASSIDY! WAIT A SECOND…. HE GOES TO GRABS HER…. HE IS BITING HER FINGERS! DRAKE KING IS BITING HER FINGERS AND KASSIDY IS YELLING!
Persephone: THAT IS SO GROSS!
(Drake King continues to bite her fingers and she trying to hang on….)
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! WAIT A SECOND! KASSIDY HEART IS TRYING TO SKIN THE CAT AND HER LEGS WRAP AROUND DRAKE KING! SHE IS SLOWLY USING HER STRENGTH TO BRING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS FEAT OF STRENGTH HERE! I wish I was Drake King right now.
Persephone: :francis:
Stew-O: DRAKE KING IS SLOWLY BEING PULLED OVER THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE IS COMING OVER… HE IS GOING TO FALL…. NO! HE FALLS ON THE APRON AND BOTH OF THEM ARE NOW ON THE APRON! BOTH ARE TEETERING! KASSIDY IS BACK UP! SHE KICKS DRAKE KING! HE KICKS HER!
(Drake rams Kassidy into the steel post.)
Persephone: KASSIDY HIT HARD ON THE STEEL POST AND SHE IS ABOUT TO FALL! DRAKE CHARGES IN…. HUGE BOOT BY KASSIDY AND HE STUMBLES BACK, SHE RUNS AT HIM….
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE LEAP FROGS OVER KASSIDY AND SHE ALMOST HITS THE OTHER STEEL POST, SHE TURNS AND DRAKE KICKS KASSIDY IN THE MIDSECTION! HE PICKS HER UP AND LOCKS IN THE ASCENSION! THIS IS IT! THIS IS IT! DRAKE…..
Stew-O: KASSIDY FLIPS HIM OVER AND DRAKE KING DROPS ON APRON BACK FIRST! HE SITS UP AND WHAT IS SHE DOING!?!?!
Persephone: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Stew-O: SHE LOCKS IN THE KASSIBLE LECHTER! SHE HAS DRAKE LOCKED ON THE APRON! KASSIDY IS HEADBUTTING DRAKE! SHE CONTINUES TO HEADBUTT DRAKE!
(Kassidy headbutt’s him so much that her forehead split, blood starts to pour out)
Persephone: THIS IS SAVAGE! NOW SHE IS BITING HIS SHOULDER! SHE IS BITING HIS SHOULDER AND BREAKING THE SKIN! DRAKE KING IS NOW BLEEDING FROM HIS SHOULDER! HOW BARBARIC IS THIS!
Stew-O: HE IS GOING LIMP AND KASSIDY HEART AGAIN WITH THE HEADBUTTS!
(She whispers something in his ear….)
Kassidy Heart: (Off Mic) Grand Rampage is mine….
Stew-O: KASSIDY HEART UNLOCKS THE SCISSORS AND KICKS DRAKE RIGHT OFF THE APRON….. DOES HE… DOES HE……
Gavin Kirkland: HE CRASHES TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: DRAKE KING HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE 2023 GRAND RAMPAGE…. KASSIDY HEART!!!!!
(“Partition” by Beyonce starts to play throughout the arena as the fans cheer and boo Kassidy Heart who just lays there bleeding from her forehead and a huge smile comes across her face staring up at the lights. The referee holds her arm up as officials check on Drake King who is bleeding from the back of his head and shoulder.)
Stew-O: WHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE BY SO MANY OF THE GREAT ELISTS IN THE EAW! THIS WAS AN AMAZING TWO NIGHTS OF WRESTLING BUT TONIGHT KASSIDY HEART WAS NOT GOING TO BE DENIED! KASSIDY HEART STARTED AT NUMBER FIVE AND WENT RIGHT TO THE END! JOSO! BRONSON! DRAKE! RULER! SO MANY OTHERS HAD INCREDIBLE SHOWINGS BUT THIS WAS KASSIDY’S MOMENT TO MAIN EVENT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Persephone: Not going to lie, she became The Mauler there in the end and that is what was going to take to win even though you didn;t mention REX MCALLISTER WHO WAS THE BEST IN EVERYTHING!
Gavin Kirkland: Showdown brings home the Grand Rampage again this year AND WHAT IS THIS GOING TO MEAN FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!? JAKE SMITH? OR COULD SHE GO FOR SOMEONE ELSE!? WE WILL FIND OUT BUT TONIGHT BELONGS TO KASSIDY HEART!
(Kassidy Heart stands up as fireworks go off, the confetti rains down as she raises her arm and points at the Pain For Pride sign smiling with blood running down her face.)
Stew-O: It was an incredible night of action! For all of us here, the Showdown, Voltage and Dynasty Crew, for the EAW… THANK YOU for joining us this weekend for the Grand Rampage 2023. Good Night Everybody!
(The final shot is of Kassidy covered in streamers and confetti pointing at the Pain For Pride sign with a smile on her bloody face.)
(The scene transitions to the backstage area where a very busy Kyra Phillips is standing by with a mic in hand in front of the door to Kassidy Hearts’ private dressing room.)
Kyra Phillips: I am back here to get a word with Kassidy Heart about her Universal Women’s Championship match in the dreaded Glass Wallz at Pain for Pride with the current holder, Dr. Bethany Blue. When Kassidy won the Grand Rampage, she was focused on one thing, the Universal Women’s Championship that eluded her last year at Pain For Pride with then Champion, Andrea Valentine. If you look back at season 16 for Kassidy after the loss, it was nothing short of outstanding. With only one blemish on her record, Kassidy Heart was a force on the Showdown roster and her alliance in the first half of the season with Impact was legendary. She was even part of the reason Kennedy Street came into power, when they ousted Hurricane Hawk after No Regards. Kassidy though wanted more; it was about becoming a World Champion again. Her eyes were always on the prize and when she defied all odds, she became the Grand Rampage winner, but the road was not always easy. It all began at Reasonable Doubt.
(It transitions to footage of Reasonable Doubt.)
(Suddenly more officials and medical personnel run by Adam and Kyra who now both look concerned.)
Adam Lucas: What is happening?
Kyra Phillips: I don’t know but I am checking this out, the camera is following me toward the dressing rooms.
(Kyra picks up her speed, Adam Lucas is behind, the camera follows as they finally get to the dressing room, the door is open and there is someone lying on the floor motionless, lying in a small pool of blood, half-dressed looking like they were getting into their wrestling gear….)
Kyra Phillips: It looks like there is someone down! What is happening!?
(The scene is chaotic, there are officials and medical staff, trying to check on the person on the floor, Heidi Huxley is screaming from the top of her voice.)
Heidi Huxley: WHO DID THIS!? WAS IT YOU!!?!?!?
(The Disney Representative points at Adam Lucas who looks completely surprised and shocked.)
Heidi Huxley: DID YOU DO THIS!?
Adam Lucas: What are you talking about!?
Kyra Phillips: He was with me! I was interviewing him!
(Suddenly as the camera is able to look past the frantic crowd of people tending to the fallen Elitists, it is none other than Kassidy Heart! She is unconscious face down, looking like she was putting her wrestling boot on and a smashed brick all over her.)
Heidi Huxley: GET THE MEDICAL STAFF OUT HERE NOW!
(As more medical personnel show up, Adam is in complete and utter shock, looking down at his opponent later tonight, he starts to pace, screaming in anger that this happened, having no idea what is going on.)
Adam Lucas: WHO THE HELL DID THIS!?!?
Heidi Huxley: I want every camera in this building’s footage! WE will find who did this and I swear if you were involved…. Adam….
(But Adam quickly shuts that down….)
Adam Lucas: WHY WOULD I DO THIS!? I HAVE SOMETHING TO PROVE TONIGHT! WE HAVE A MATCH! IN THE RING! DOING THIS PROVES NOTHING, HEIDI! IF YOU WANT TO BLAME ANYONE!? BLAME YOURSELF FOR THE GARBAGE SECURITY!
(As they argue there is a stretcher that has shown up with EMT. They roll Kassidy over who has not moved a muscle. They slowly brace her neck while tending to the huge cut on the side of her head that has stained her hair with blood.)
Heidi Huxley: You better pray that you had nothing to do with this because when Kennedy and I find out who did, there will be hell to pay! Now get out of here!
Adam Lucas: What about Kassidy!?
Heidi Huxley: NOW!
(The officials try to escort Adam away who is visibly upset and emotionally jarred, looking as they place Kassidy on the gurney, lifting her on to the stretcher and strapping the former King of Elite down. They run out rushing her to the back area where there is an ambulance standing by. Everyone is simply in shock while they disappear into the back of the arena. Kyra Phillips turns to the camera…)
Kyra Phillips: It looks like Kassidy Heart was attacked by an unknown assailant that has put this match with Adam Lucas in jeopardy. I will follow up with more details, until then…. Back to ringside!
(The camera transitions back to Kyra Phillips standing in front of the dressing room.)
Kyra Phillips: For months we didn’t know who the attacker was. But that all came to fruition after Kassidy won the Grand Rampage and made her intentions known. She was bitter, upset and destined to find the person who tried to end her career and gave her the first loss of the season to Adam Lucas at Reasonable Doubt. At Fighting Spirit in the hometown of the Universal Women’s Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue after a successful title win, Kassidy came out to make the challenge at Pain For Pride, that is when the Private Investigator, Richard Tracie came out and revealed the culprit! Take a look.
(The footage of Fighting Spirit starts to play for everyone to see.)
(Suddenly….)
(“Somebody Get Me A Doctor” is replaced with “Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)” by Beyonce which starts to play throughout the arena as Bethany slowly stops her celebration, lowering the Universal Women’s Championship and turns her attention to the entranceway….)
James Peters: IT IS KASSIDY HEART! KASSIDY HEART IS COMING OUT HERE AND THE FANS ARE STUNNED, LOOK AT THE FACE OF BETHANY!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS NOT AMUSED AS KASSIDY MAKES HER WAY DOWN TO THE RING! BETHANY BACKS UP SOME WAITING AS KASSIDY GRABS A MIC AND SLOWLY CLIMBS THE STAIRS, HER HEELS MAKING THAT CLANKING NOISE WITH EACH HEAVY STEP SHE TAKES.
(The crowd starts to roar as Bethany walks right up to the face of Kassidy Heart and both women glare into each other’s eyes. The Good Doctor is sweaty, tired, went through a war with ARIA just now but holds the Universal Women’s Championship tight in her hand.)
Rex McAllister: TWO OF THE VERY BEST STARING EACH OTHER DOWN! I THINK WE KNOW WHAT KASSIDY HEART WANTS WITH THAT GRAND RAMPAGE WIN!
(The music dies down as both women continue to stare at each other. The crowd starts to cheer heavily….)
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
(As the noise continues, Bethany tilts her head and waits as Kassidy finally brings the mic to her mouth and speaks.)
Kassidy Heart: I think you know why I am here. Winning the Grand Rampage gives me the ability to challenge for any World Championship that I want. I could interject in your husband’s match with Jake Smith at Pain For Pride, it’s not like I haven’t beaten both already, but what is the fun in that? See, last Pain For Pride should have been my moment, walking out as the Universal Women’s Champion then. But instead, Andrea Valentine was able to sneak one out on me and while she is gone now and I never received my proper rematch, winning the Grand Rampage gave me a little more means to an end. It’s time to make a wrong into a right and get back the Universal Women’s Championship around my waist.
(Most of the crowd boo, in support of their hometown wrestler, Dr. Bethany Blue. Bethany just smiles as she turns and is given a mic by Bella Braxton.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Honestly Kassidy? I’m not surprised. This is the one title that even after your first run with it, escaped you. Last year, you should have been Universal Women’s Champion considering the run that you were on, but Andrea Valentine has a way of somehow sneaking past the two of us. Well, this isn’t about her anymore, it is about me and you. This is what you want?
Kassidy Heart: Oh honey, you know damn well that is what I want and since I cannot stand your husband, I figured this is my way of killing two birds with one stone.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Is it, Kassidy? Because you have NO idea how long I have waited to face you again since 2020. This time, it is on the grandest stage of them all and I welcome it, to be given the opportunity to send you right back to Showdown empty handed.
(Kassidy smiles, brushing her hair back.)
Kassidy Heart: I’m going to do what I should have done last Pain For Pride and this time it will be you, Bethany that suffers the consequences of my wrath. There isn’t a single person that will stand in my way between us and the Universal Women’s Championship. And all of your family in the crowd, your friends, all of these people cheering you on? Get your cameras handy and take a picture of your hometown hero one more time because it will be the LAST time you ever see her as Universal Women’s Champion again.
(Bethany smirks and gets right up to Kassidy’s face, pointing at the huge Pain For Pride sign.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Then I will see you at Pain For Pride!
(The crowd starts to roar suddenly….)
???: Excuse me…. Excuse me…..
(Kassidy and Bethany both stop, Kassidy turns around as Bethany backs up a little, both a little irritated by the interruption. It is none other than Richard Tracie P.I., the Private Investigator that was hired by the EAW and Showdown General Manager, Kennedy Street to find out who it was that actually attacked Kassidy Heart back at Reasonable Doubt.)
Richard Tracie: Ladies, forgive me for the intrusion. I know this is a big moment for you Dr. Blue in front of your fans so pardon for that, but I have some very important information to divulge tonight pertaining to the case I was hired to investigate. The person who attacked Kassidy Heart at Reasonable Doubt. After countless hours of interviews and interrogations, looking high and wide for the person who did this, I must admit, they covered their tracks well.
(The crowd is in silence; Kassidy is laser focused on the Private Dick as Bethany looks on intrigued as well. Both women are standing in the ring.)
Richard Tracie: The culprit took a lot of careful preparation, they also had access to the backstage area and really, unless you are a contracted talent or employee of the EAW there was no way you can get back there bypassing security, so the assailant was a member of the EAW and a matter of fact, they are a contracted Elitist. With the help of some sources, I was able to track down the digital trail of this person who went out of their way to assure that the 62 seconds of footage were indeed erased.
(Everyone is in anticipation, including the announcers.)
Richard Tracie: But with some good detective work I was able to find the footage and download it into the drive. Here it is.
(Richard Tracie points up to the Tron as suddenly it starts to play the camera footage. We see a figure in a hoodie and jacket slowly walking up to the dressing room, carrying a duffle bag over their shoulder. They stop right at the door, and they place the bag on the floor and open it, taking out a brick.)
James Peters: You have got to be kidding me.
Persephone: Oh…. that is interesting!
Rex McAllister: Can’t tell who it is, but they definitely were ready to strike.
Rich Russillo: Wait a second.
(Kassidy looks on getting angrier and angrier, Bethany stands there not even knowing what she is watching but is aware of what happened at Reasonable Doubt since it did involve her husband. Kassidy’s eyes though are laser focused on the Tron.)
(The footage then shows the individual who then slips into the dressing room. There is some commotion being heard, it takes a few seconds before the assailant walks back out wiping their hands of some blood from the attack on Kassidy.)
Richard Tracie: And here they are!
(The camera then focuses as the person takes off their hood, they clean their hands and face and turn to face the camera, the crowd is stunned in silence.)
Rex McAllister: :damn:
Rich Russillo: :damn:
James Peters: damn:
Persephone: OH WOW….. IT’s IT’S…..
(Kassidy Heart’s eyes widen in complete shock, shaking in anger as she turns around….)
Persephone: IT WAS DR. BETHANY BLUE….. CODE BLUE ON KASSIDY HEART!!!!
(Kassidy falls out of her heels and collapses like a ton of bricks to the ground as a seething and angry Dr. Bethany Blue glares down at her as Kassidy clutches her chest.)
James Peters: NO! NO! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! IT WAS BETHANY ALL ALONG!!?!?!
Rex McAllister: BETHANY FLIPS KASSIDY OVER! BETHANY SEES THAT KASSIDY IS SLOWLY TRYING TO GET BACK UP AND BETHANY SLIPS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP UNDER HER HEAD! SHE IS RUNNING AGAINST THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: CONCUSSION PROTOCOL! SHE JUST KNOCKED KASSIDY OUT COLD RAMMING HER HEAD INTO THE TITLE BELT AND LOOK AT BETHANY! SHE STANDS OVER HER! WITH SUCH DISGUST!
(Bethany grabs the mic and squats down pulling the title off from under Kassidy’s face. She grabs her by the hair and lifts up her head while unconscious.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: That’s right, it was ME the entire time!
(Bethany laughs a little but that smile quickly disappears as the angst and vitriol is painted all over her emotional face.)
Dr. Bethanny Blue: I told you bitch that I hadn’t forgotten what you did to me in 2020. You want to come after me? Take what I had to work so hard for after YOU derailed me two and a half years ago, so yes, I tried to END you at Reasonable Doubt! Why don;t you then come and try to exact your revenge, but I promise that brick I used to crush your skull in is nothing compared to what I am going to do to you at Pain for Pride!
(She drops Kassidy’s head with a huge thump as Dr. Bethany Blue slowly gets back up and looks at the crowd. They explode in cheers, some boo but had she been in any other arena they would have probably booed her out of the building. “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” plays throughout the arena as Bethany slowly gets out of the ring, Kassidy hasn’t moved as Bethany walks by her family and friends, giving hugs and high fives. She then makes her way toward the back as officials run in to help Kassidy.)
James Peters: I…. I can’t believe that Dr. Bethany Blue did this, but there was a lot of penned up emotions there. She was looking for revenge.
Rich Russillo: Well, she had some, but when Kassidy wakes up and meets her at Pain For Pride, I hope Bethany knows what she just got herself into because this match is NOW personal.
(Bethany poses one more time holding the title in the air as the crowd cheers. Kassidy is slowly now stirring in the ring while being attended to as Bethany walks past the Private Investigator into the backstage area where she sees Adam Lucas standing there in disbelief.)
Adam Lucas: Beth?
(She says nothing and continues walking toward the back disappearing. As it fades to a commercial ad for Pain For Pride.)
(The footage ends and it transitions back to Kyra Phillips who is still standing in front of Kassidy Hearts’ dressing room.)
Kyra Phillips: It was extremely shocking to say the least, but that set everything up to what would come next. Methuselah didn’t want Kassidy to come over to Voltage where Bethany teased her over and over including showing pictures of her brain scans and continue to pester Kassidy about an abortion she had years ago, but Kassidy wasn’t going to have any of it. She listened to her husband for one week… and then this happened.
(The footage from Showdown Beach Brawl begins to play moments after Bethany defeated Ronan Malosi.)
(Bethany jumps off of the top rope, title in hand as she continues to celebrate a well-earned victory tonight on the Beach Brawl special of Voltage. She gets herself one step closer to Pain For Pride and the ultimate goal of successfully defending the Universal Women’s Championship against…)
Rich Russillo: Uh oh… I think you guys want to look at who’s coming toward the ring from the beachfront area. :lupe:!!!
(The crowd immediately comes to life, roaring into thunderous cheers while Bethany perks up in confusion. She looks around, with no clue what’s happening, before finally catching who is making a beeline toward her.)
James Peters: KASSIDY HEART! SHE’S HERE! She’s walking with a purpose to the ring, shouting at Bethany and trying to get her attention! For these past couple of weeks Bethany has done nothing but attack her from behind and drag her through the mud with personal taunts, and it seems like Kassidy has had enough! She’s here for a fight and she wants Bethany to know that, she wants her to be ready for what’s to come!
Persephone: Oh this girl is crazy, I like it. As long as there’s blood after this then y’all can do whatever you please.
(Bethany nods her head quickly, yelling at Kassidy back and begging her to get into the ring with her. Even though she’s coming fresh off a match, she’d be a fool to try and run away from this situation. She’s welcoming the fight. The crowd is on their feet as Kassidy slides into the ring…)
Rich Russillo: AND HERE WE GO! KASSIDY SLIDES IN AND BETHANY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TOWARD HER AND BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TOWARD THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SHE’S TRYING TO CATCH HER OFF GUARD SO THAT SHE CAN BE THE ONE LEFT STANDING AFTER THIS FIGHT, BUT WE KNOW KASSIDY ALL TOO WELL, SHE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS LYING DOWN! KASSIDY GRABS THE ANKLES OF BETHANY AND TRIPS HER TO THE GROUND, BEFORE MOUNTING ON TOP OF HER AND BEGINNING TO SLAM VICIOUS FOREARMS AND ELBOWS DOWN ONTO HER FACE! KASSIDY HAS TAKEN CONTROL AND BETHANY IS QUICKLY ON THE DEFENSE TRYING TO BRING HER FOREARMS UP!
James Peters: BUT THE SHEER POWER OF KASSIDY IS BREAKING THROUGH THAT, JUST ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE FROM THE HALL OF FAMER AND BETHANY IS TRYING TO FIND AN ANSWER FOR IT RIGHT NOW! SHE LETS HER GUARD DOWN AND ABSORBS THE BLOWS BEFORE GRABBING HER AROUND THE WAIST AND ROLLING HER OVER! BETHANY IS ON TOP WHILE KASSIDY IS STILL TRYING TO THRASH AND CLAW, BUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION IS BEGINNING TO SEND SOME SHOTS OF HER OWN DOWN ON HER CHALLENGER! THIS HAS TURNED INTO A FISTFIGHT AND BOTH OF THESE WOMEN REFUSE TO RELENT!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS JUST DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN TO BEAT DOWN ON HER RIGHT NOW, BUT THE FATIGUE OF THE MATCH AND KASSIDY HEART IS DOING A NUMBER ON HER RIGHT NOW, AND SHE’S NOT AT HER FULL POWER LIKE SHE WOULD ANY OTHER DAY! KASSIDY KNOWS THAT, AND I THINK SHE’S WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND COMPLETELY TURN AROUND THIS SITUATION, JUST ABSORBING THE BLOWS RIGHT NOW WHICH I DON’T THINK SEEMS TO BE DOING A NUMBER ON HER! BETHANY IS THROWING EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS LEFT AT HER IN HOPES OF KEEPING HER DOWN!
James Peters: KASSIDY SLIPS HER HEAD AFTER ONE OF BETHANY’S PUNCHES AND PUSHES HERSELF OFF OF THE CANVAS, LUNGING HERSELF FORWARD, SHE HAS THE NECK! KASSIDY IS BITING BETHANY AND THE CHAMPION IS JUST SCREAMING IN PAIN NOW AS SHE’S GRABBING KASSIDY AND TRYING TO PULL HER OFF, BUT KASSIDY HAS HER TEETH LATCHED ONTO HER NECK AS THE MORE BETHANY FIGHTS BACK THE MORE SHE PULLS AT THE SKIN LIKE IT’S A PIECE OF MEAT!
Persephone: OH SHE’S CRAZY CRAZY! GO ON KEEP BITING AT IT! MAKE HER SUFFER, YEAH!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY FINALLY RELEASES AND BETHANY IMMEDIATELY BREAKS AWAY, GRABBING AT HER NECK WHICH HAS TO BE GUSHING BLOOD NOW, WITH KASSIDY ADMIRING HER WORK BEFORE QUICKLY MOUNTING BACK ON TOP OF HER AND BEGINNING TO GO TO WORK WITH THOSE VICIOUS STRIKES OF HERS! THE TIDES HAVE COMPLETELY TURNED NOW, WITH THE CHAMPION ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS IN THE FACE OF SOME BRUTAL OFFENSE BY KASSIDY!
(The crowd boos upon seeing security quickly rushing out, trying to break up the scene, but Kassidy also sees them as well. She immediately lets go of Bethany and rushes to the end of the ring, giving them a death glare. Security instantly backs off, they know what happens if they try to mess with Kassidy Heart of all people, even looking past the power she has in this company. While all of this is happening, Bethany still has one hand over the wounded area of her neck, the other hand is clawing toward the bottom rope, trying to pull herself toward them and gain some sort of ground in a precarious position…)
James Peters: KASSIDY SHOOING SECURITY AWAY, MY GUESS IS THAT SHE’S FAR FROM DONE AND LOOKS TO CONTINUE HER ASSAULT! SHE MAKES HER WAY OVER TO BETHANY WHO IS PRESUMABLY TRYING TO GET UP AND SHE HAS HER BY THE ANKLES, BUT BETHANY TRIES TO SEND HER BACK WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! SHE’S TRYING TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM BUT ALL THAT’S DONE IS RILE KASSIDY UP SOME MORE! SHE SNATCHES BETHANY AND PULLS HER BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE LUNGING FORWARD AND GETTING BACK ON THE OFFENSIVE! AND THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH A PERSON CAN TAKE! NOBODY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THIS ONSLAUGHT!
(Kassidy seizes her by the head, beginning to slam it repeatedly down to the canvas as blood splatters are seen painting it thanks to her stiff shots to Bethany’s face which caused a gash to form. The Champion at this point is near lifeless in the hands of Kassidy, but every so often tries to reach her hands out to try and force her off, obviously to no use. Ultimately after the beating has gone on long enough, Kassidy lets go. She steps back and Bethany looks like she came fresh out of a horror movie. She desperately gasps for air, still showing life even after all of this, and that doesn’t make Kassidy happy at all.)
Persephone: KASSIDY GRABS BETHANY BY THE HEAD AND THROWS HER OUT OF THE RING, THEY’RE HEADED TO THE OUTSIDE NOW! HURRAY MORE VIOLENCE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY FALLS BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE, BUT KASSIDY HAS HER BY THE HEAD AND THROWS HER AGAINST THE RING APRON AT FULL FORCE! BETHANY GIVES A SCREAM WHILE KASSIDY GRABS A HOLD OF HER AGAIN, SENDING HER INTO THE BARRICADE THIS TIME! BETHANY IS DOWN BUT KASSIDY IS MAKING SURE THAT SHE’S UP ON HER FEET NOW, AS THE HALL OF FAMER HEAVES HER UP ONTO HER SHOULDER…
(CRACK!)
James Peters: SENDING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! SHE DROPS BETHANY DOWN TO THE GROUND BUT QUICKLY GRABS AT HER HEAD AGAIN…
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
Persephone: SLAMMING HER HEAD REPEATEDLY AGAINST THE RINGPOST! THAT THUD, IT TURNS ME ON!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY ISN’T DONE JUST YET AS SHE BRINGS BETHANY BACK UP AND ONCE AGAIN ONTO HER SHOULDERS…
(CRACK!)
James Peters: SENDING HER INTO THE RING POST AGAIN AT FULL FORCE! BUT SHE ISN’T DONE AS SHE ROUNDS THE CORNER FROM THERE…
(CRASH!)
Persephone: SENDING HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS LIKE A BATTERING RAM! BETHANY IS DOWN, and oh look I think Kassidy is looking under the ring!
Rich Russillo & James Peters: :lupe:!!!
(Kassidy is digging under the ring, but it does not take very long to find what she needs out of there like it’s been placed for her own convenience…)
Persephone: GLASS PANES?! NOW WE’RE TALKING!
(Stacks of large glass panes, all banded together, Kassidy rips it off before taking one of them and leaning it up against the barricade. Bethany is half dead right now, but clutching onto the steps she sees what Kassidy is setting up, there’s nothing she can do to respond though.)
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS UP…
(CRASH!)
James Peters: BEFORE KASSIDY GRABS HER AROUND THE WAIST AND LAUNCHES HER INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRST GLASS PANE! I DON’T THINK SHE’S DONE THOUGH, THERE’S A REASON THERE ARE MULTIPLE!
(Kassidy takes the other glass pane and positions it before lifting Bethany up again…)
(CRASH!)
Persephone: SENDING HER INTO ANOTHER ONE!
(Kassidy then takes the others that are left and sets them up in a row, before then grabbing her by the head once again.)
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SENDS HER INTO A THIRD GLASS PANE! SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS!
Persephone: Didn’t you see her just shoo all of them away? That’s Kassidy Heart for Gawd’s sake if they don’t want to lose their jobs then they’ll do what she says.
(CRASH!)
James Peters: KASSIDY TAKES BETHANY BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE FOURTH GLASS PANEL! KASSIDY THEN PICKS HER RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN…
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: INTO THE FIFTH! OH MY GOD! HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS?!
(Kassidy looks down at the absolute mess that once was the Universal Women’s Champion Dr. Bethany Blue, and for the first time throughout this entire assault, she looks satisfied with what she’s made her into. Finally, payback after all these weeks, better yet months, of everything that has been going on between the two, all of it systematically leading to a match at Pain For Pride with the Universal Women’s Championship on the line. Kassidy has craved a moment like this, to leave her in a bloody heap just as she did all those months ago. Bethany is not moving, face down on the ring mat with glass shards sticking out of her and a coat of blood. Kassidy makes her way around, yelling for a microphone which is swiftly granted to her as she rounds the corner once again. She crouches down to look at Bethany before bringing the microphone up, the crowd going silent to hear what she has to say.)
Kassidy Heart: Pain For Pride, you and I, Glass Wallz.
(She slams the microphone down while the crowd absolutely erupts into thunderous cheers, excited to see the return of the hellacious match type to EAW after the Disney Merger and better yet between two of the best women that this company has ever seen.)
James Peters: WOW! What a bombshell of an announcement here on Voltage, with Kassidy Heart upping the ante in her match against Dr. Bethany Blue for the Universal Women’s Championship. She didn’t just bring all that glass out here for no reason, she brought them out to make a statement, that everything that she just put Bethany through? That’s exactly how she’s going to feel tenfold once Pain For Pride comes around and it’s only the two of them inside the confines of Glass Wallz!
Rich Russillo: But if I were Bethany I would most certainly not take this lightly. After what she’s been put through right now there is no doubt that when she wakes up she’s going to be feeling an unfathomable amount of pain and rage, which is a bad combination in this company. She’s going to be out for revenge and looking to do something similar to what Kassidy has done to her tonight. What a match, if it wasn’t already interesting heading into Nashville, Tennessee then it certainly is right now!
Persephone: After what I’ve seen tonight? It sounds amazing.
(Kassidy takes a step back while officials quickly swarm the scene, checking on Bethany and crowding around her while the camera quickly cuts away not to show the aftermath. Security follows, finally seeing that Kassidy is done, and escorts her out of the area since she’s clearly not supposed to be a part of Voltage tonight. Even after everything, Kassidy reluctantly obliges knowing there’s going to be reprimands for this.)
(With a final shot of Kassidy Heart standing over a battered and bloody Dr. Bethany Blue, the scene fades back to Kyra Phillips as she continues her report in front of Kassidy’s dressing room.)
Kyra Phillips: It was extremely vicious, Kassidy was able to get payback and leave Dr. Bethany Blue such a bloody mess that she was unconscious for hours afterwards, but when she did wake up, she had made demands to Captain Charisma that Kassidy needed to have a psychiatric evaluation and the board agreed, or else the match was off at Pain For Pride. The evaluation happened, and Kassidy was not too fon\d of it. She ended up attacking one of the Doctors who turned out to be a friend of the family of Dr. Blue had a direct relationship with her in the medical field. Kassidy demanded this match continue after she basically exposed Bethany and that is when things went a bit sour as they had the contract signing. Never in my years have I ever seen Kassidy Heart embarrassed like this and it was Dr. Bethany Blue who did it. Here is what happened last week on Voltage after Bethany’s speech.
(It switches to footage of the contract signing between Dr. Bethany Blue and Kassidy Heart.)
(Dr. Blue lowers the microphone and takes a deep breath. She removes her reading glasses from the pocket of her gray silk blouse and places them on her face. After reading the contract in its entirety, which takes several moments, Bethany unclips her special pen with peacock blue ink that has ‘Dr. Bethany Blue’ engraved on it. She scrawls signature on the line that is for the champion and sits back in her seat.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You may bring Kassidy out now.
(The camera goes backstage to a special holding area that Kassidy Heart had been waiting in. Despite how dehumanizing it had been for Kassidy to be detained and secluded, both Kassidy’s team and Bethany’s team had agreed it was for the best. Both women need to be separated as much as possible because this had become extremely personal. Everyone in upper management was watching this match closely because both women had displayed and partaken in extreme violence towards the other.)
(Two security guards were standing in front of the door that Kassidy was behind and when it opened, the camera caught Kassidy pacing up and down. She was dressed in a pair of white designer jeans, decorated with a Gucci belt, and fitted black, sleeveless crop top. Her hair was down, iron-board straight for once and she wore black Louboutin heels. Two people were with her and they were handler, Dasha, and personal physician, Dr. Winston Brett. The security guard called for Kassidy and went to take her by the arm, but Kassidy jerked away and shoved past him. She marched out of the holding area with a purpose, which prompted the two guards to quicken their pace and hurry to catch up with her.)
(Dr. Blue had been watching all of this unfold on the videotron along with the rest of the EAW Universe. She had a pensive look on her face as “Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)” by Beyonce began to blast across the speakers.)
Persephone: I honestly do not think that this is safe for us at all.
Rich Russillo: Us? I could only imagine how Bethany is feeling right now, knowing that as soon as Kassidy lays eyes on her, she could very well be in some trouble.
(Kassidy Heart was heading straight out to the stage, with the guards quickly following behind her. She’s been waiting to come face-to-face with Bethany after everything that has gone down and is not looking to waste anytime.)
James Peters: We’ve seen the type of conditions that Kassidy has had to be placed in after everything that has happened between these two heading into Pain For Pride. And with Bethany now seeming more than ready for Glass Wallz even though if she had it her way it wouldn’t even be happening, it seems to have fired Kassidy up even more. She’s ready to put her through hell and you can see that with the look in her eyes.
(As Kassidy starts to make her way up the ring steps, Dr. Blue jumps to her feet.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: No. No. No. No. Cut the music. Officers, please escort that animal off the steps. I don’t feel comfortable having her enter the ring just yet.
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Random Officer: I’m going to need you to calm down.
(The officer goes to take Kassidy by the arm, but she shoves him away. Two more officers approach Kassidy and the fight or flight mentality kicks in. It shows on her face because Dr. Blue clears her throat.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I may have already signed the contract, but I will rip it up if you put a hand on either of those officers. I understand that you may not necessarily be able to help your condition, but if you want to participate in Pain for Pride, you will keep your wits about you and act like a human being. Now escort her off the steps. I want her searched before she gets into the ring. There is no telling what she might have and like I said, I will not be attacked before Pain for Pride.
James Peters: Did she just demand that Kassidy Heart be SEARCHED?
Rich Russillo: This is starting to get ridiculous.
(Kassidy actually looks surprised that Dr. Blue would demand she be searched before getting into the ring. Beside her, a female officer pulls out a pair of Nitrile gloves and starts to put them on.)
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) Do not touch me.
(After snapping at the officer, Kassidy turns her attention to Dr. Blue and points at her.)
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) You have a lot of fucking nerve demanding that not only I be detained backstage in a secluded area, but to be searched. I don’t have any weapons on me, although it’s fucking hilarious you’re clearly terrified over the thought of it.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Just because I wish to protect myself and this Pain for Pride match does not mean I am scared of you. If anything, you should be scared of me because I have done things to you that no other person has had the balls to do and I am far from finished. That being said, if you don’t submit to a search, you won’t be getting in this ring and signing this contract. I will tear it up.
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) Tear the shit up and I’ll use my Grand Rampage win to join the Answers World Championship match. Don’t fucking test me you cunt.
Dr. Bethany Blue: SUBMIT TO THE SEARCH, KASSIDY! Beating Jake or Adam does nothing for you because EYE am the one you want to sink your teeth into. EYE am the one who has done nothing but get the better of you week after week. EYE am the one who nearly ended your career and is capable of finishing the job so submit to the fucking search and lets make it official. I’m so sick of you and everything that you stand for. This company sucks with you in it and I’m tired of living in a world that enables dangerous people like yourself to run around with no repercussions. I want to finish the job but I’m not going to let you compromise my health tonight.
(Kassidy shuts her eyes and pinches the bridge of her nose. As much as she doesn’t want to admit it, Dr. Blue is right about some of the things she had just said. There will come a time for Kassidy to give Adam the loss he deserved, but right now, she did want Dr. Bethany Blue. She wanted to make her pay for everything and more than anything, she wanted to make the good doctor suffer. Kassidy recoiled at the thought of allowing Dr. Blue to get her way but there would be a time and a place to get payback, and that would be at Pain for Pride.)
(Inside the ring, a cruel smile crossed Dr. Blue’s face as she saw Kassidy step down from the steps.)
(The gloved officer approaches Kassidy, who looks like she is about to explode. The Hall of Famer’s face is flushed with anger and she is breathing heavily.)
Gloved Officer: (off-mic) Arms up, Mrs. Heart.
(Kassidy bit down hard on the inside of her cheek but nonetheless, she raised her arms. The gloved officer patted her down before instructing her to put her arms down. After that, the officer had Kassidy lean her head forward and searched her hair and checked her ears.)
James Peters: This is humiliating. I never thought I would feel an ounce of sympathy for someone like Kassidy Heart, but she’s not a criminal.
Persephone: I’m highly fucking entertained right now.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Check her mouth and her nose.
(Kassidy stiffened as the gloved officer pulled a little flashlight from her pocket. After switching it on, she touched Kassidy’s nose, lifting up each nostril and shining the light inside. After that, she instructed Kassidy to open her mouth. Kassidy took a deep breath, doing what she could to control her rage, and then opened her mouth. The flashlight was shined inside of her mouth and then the officer stuck a gloved finger inside and probed her. It took everything Kassidy had not to chomp down on and break the officer’s finger but she stayed compliant.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I want her hands checked and her nails clipped.
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) I swear to Gawd I’m going to kill you at Pain for Pride.
(Dr. Blue ignored Kassidy’s threat and watched as another officer produced a pair of nail clippers and handed them over. The gloved officer conducting the search checked between Kassidy’s fingers and then clipped her perfectly manicured nails all the way down to nubs.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I want her turned around and searched, and then the shoes need to come off.
(The gloved officer turned Kassidy around, had her spread her legs, and patted her down.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: In fact, I want her belt removed as well because that can be used as a weapon.
(By this point, Kassidy was shaking with rage. With trembling hands, she undid her belt and yanked it through her belt loops. With as much force as she had, she tossed it at Dr. Blue who ducked before it could hit her.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: :francis:
(Kassidy turned back around and stepped out of her shoes, but a security guard quickly grabbed them before they could be tossed at Dr. Blue. The gloved officer checked between Kassidy’s toes and finally nodded. The search was complete.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Now before you get in the ring, I just want you to know that I don’t want to hear anything you have to say. You have done enough talking for now, and I am sure you will do even more come Pain for Pride week. The only thing you need to do is get in this ring, take the pen that will be handed to you by the officer I have beside me, and sign your name. After that, the officer will take the pen from you and you will leave.
(Kassidy didn’t hear a thing Dr. Blue had said because her ears were ringing. There was nothing but noise and knocking inside her head, and a splitting migraine was coming on. She tried to shake it off as she climbed up the steps, but unfortunately, she didn’t have any control of it. As soon as she stepped into the ring, the overwhelming urge to lunge at Dr. Blue consumed her. Dr. Blue wisely kicked Kassidy’s Gucci belt out of the ring and told the officer to hurry up and give Kassidy the pen. Kassidy snatched the pen from the officer, ripped the top off of it with her teeth, and spit it right at Bethany. She quickly scribbled her signature in the designated spot, gripped the pen like a dagger, and lunged at Dr. Blue.)
Rich Russillo: WHERE DID THAT TASER COME FROM?!?! DR. BETHANY BLUE JUST TASED KASSIDY AND KASSIDY IS DOWN ON THE GROUND!
Persephone: DR. BLUE IS DOWN BESIDE KASSIDY AND SHE IS JAMMING THE TASER IN KASSIDY’S SIDE! KASSIDY IS COMPLETELY INCAPACITATED AND NOW DR. BLUE IS PEPPERING HER WITH FOREARMS!
James Peters: THIS IS SICK! KASSIDY HEART IS DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW WAS BETHANY SHOCKS HER WITH THE TASER AGAIN! BETHANY REACHES UNDER THE SIGNING TABLE AND WHAT’S THAT??
Persephone: :mjlol: THAT’S A MUZZLE! A MUZZLE FOR THE MAULER!!!!
(Bethany snatched Kassidy by the hair and fit the muzzle over her face. She tightened it, quickly locked it with a small padlock she pulled from the pocket of her black pinstripe dress pants, and sat back to admire her handiwork. A cold, terrible look had crossed Bethany’s face and it was obvious she wasn’t done with Kassidy. She wanted to strip her of whatever was left of her dignity after the humiliating search and that’s when she pulled out a scalpel.)
Persephone: :gladbron: ARE WE GOING TO SEE AN ACTUAL SURGERY??
Rich Russillo: Why aren’t the officers stepping in?? We already know that Methuselah has not yet arrived at the building. He had a meeting with the Disney executives about the new one-year extension for the EAW/Disney partnership!
Persephone: Bro, this bitch is evil. After she orchestrated that whole psych eval, she probably paid these people off too! I fucking love this.
(Bethany was using the scalpel to cut Kassidy’s jeans off her with surgical precision. She pulled them away, leaving Kassidy in just her panties, crop top, and of course the muzzle. After tossing the jeans out of the ring, Bethany reached under the table again and the object she pulled out had the audience gasping.)
James Peters: I’m speechless.
Persephone: Imagine just casually keeping a straightjacket on hand for moments like this :mjlol: I am fucking OBSESSED.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: I just hope Dr. Bethany Blue can handle whatever the repercussions of this happens to be.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) WELCOME TO YOUR FUTURE, YOU STUPID BITCH!
(Bethany used her taser to zap Kassidy one last time before pulling her up by the hair and setting her against the table. Bethany rammed the back of Kassidy’s head into the table several times before she began to put Kassidy in the straightjacket. The crowd was stunned into silence as Bethany jerked Kassidy by the hair again and stuffed her face into the mat. She buckled the straightjacket as tightly as she could and took a lot of pleasure in pulling the strap up between Kassidy’s legs and securing it in place. Dr. Blue slapped the unconscious Kassidy on the backside a couple of times before kicking her onto her lower back. She spit on Kassidy before grabbing the microphone and sat down beside her Pain for Pride opponent.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: It’s official. You got the match you wanted at Pain for Pride, but remember this. Everything you have worked for can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye. I may have failed at Reasonable Doubt, but I won’t fail at Pain for Pride.
(Bethany let the microphone fall from her hands and she got to her feet. She picked the Universal Women’s Championship up and held it high in the air as her theme music started to blast through the arena. The audience was still too shocked to react and after Bethany stepped on Kassidy to head out of the ring.)
(As the footage ends, we see Kyra Phillips standing there in complete dismay at the actions of Dr. Bethany Blue. She takes a moment before speaking.)
Kyra Phillips: Yes, it is troubling to watch as this feud has taken an even more personal turn, both women have tried to put the other one down, but Dr. Bethany Blue decided to play the mind games and rendered Kassidy helpless in her quest to remind the entire world just how determined she is to defend the title successfully and end Kassidy once and for all. The question on everyone’s mind now is, has Kassidy finally met her match in Dr. Bethany Blue? This is a lot different than 2020, the Doctor has definitely evolved, and can Kassidy match it? We will find out at Pain For Pride. I am going to get a word with Kassidy now after what happened last week.
(Kyra knocks on the door but no one answers. She knocks again as a courtesy but still no one answers. Kyra slowly opens the door cautiously and slides in where the dressing room is empty.)
Kyra Phillips: Kassidy? Hello… Kassidy? It’s Kyra, can I get a word with you?
(Realizing there is no one there, a stagehand peaks in.)
Stagehand: She never showed up tonight.
Kyra Phillips: Wait…. What?
(Surprised at the news, the Stagehand all he can do is shrug his shoulders and walk away leaving Kyra Phillips perplexed wondering if Kassidy Heart is alright as it fades to a commercial break before the next REWIND of season 16.)
(The camera then goes to Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following TAG TEAM MATCH is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Tot Musica’ by Ado is heard playing through the speakers of the arena while the crowd erupts into cheers. The camera goes over to show POTARA, Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, making their way out to the stage. Both have attires based on characters from the anime Chainsaw Man, black attires with Holly having an orange outline around hers to represent Denji and Harper having a light pink outline to represent Power. Both of them look determined and ready to go as they fist bump one another before then beginning to make their way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challengers… at a combined weight of 267 pounds… Harper Lee, Holly Arrow… POTARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, although having teamed and been familiarized with one another in a shorter time than most of the other competition in the tag division, have separated themselves from the rest of the pack and proven that they are far and away two of the best that the division has to offer. They step up to the plate today very confident in their abilities, as expected with two personalities as boisterous as them, and look to reach the pinnacle of what tag team wrestling has to offer with the Unified Tag Team Championships. Will they be able to do it? I would not put it past them.
Jake Mercer: Well I certainly would, because while they may be able to beat any other tag team, the tag team that they’re facing tonight isn’t just any other tag team, no, they’re the next level.
(‘Come Eat With Us’ by EST Gee & Young Scooter is heard playing through the speakers while the crowd gives a negative reception for the Unified Tag Team Champions the Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson, better known as Soul Food Sunday collectively, make their way out to the stage with their titles raised high into the air. They’re confident in what they’re going to be able to do tonight, as they both have big smirks on their faces while they make their entrance down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… they are the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Visual Prophet, SOSA Henderson… SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: AJNSKEWBOSNDOWNDOENSKANSOWNDOWNSOWNDOENDOSNS
Flannery McCoy: On the other hand we have two World Championship caliber Elitists who have banded together to absolutely dominate the tag team division here in EAW. They have made themselves known as the toughest Champions that have come around in quite some time, and have zero intentions of losing their titles anytime soon. They have beaten the best, and they look at POTARA and they see them as no exception to the rule, just another defense to add to the belt. This is certainly going to be a great match though that’s one thing I can say for certain.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go, Unified Tag Team Championships on the line! The Champions, the Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson, better known collectively as Soul Food Sunday, have been on a tear of the tag team division. They have beaten the very best that there is to offer… except one. The ultimate test lies in Saturday Night Showdown’s POTARA, Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, who look to seize the pinnacle of the tag division, which are those titles around their opponent’s waist. There has been a lot of talk between these two teams this week, but the time for that is over. Now they wage war, live in Boston tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Harper is starting for her corner, and SOSA for his, and the two of them both begin to make their way toward the center of the ring. It looks like they’re going to lock up, NOT! HARPER WITH A HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD SENDING SOSA BACK!
Jake Mercer: They both knew this match wasn’t going to start off clean, so Harper looked to beat him to the punch. SOSA stumbles back, gritting his teeth before running forward, ONLY FOR HARPER TO GO UNDER AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! SOSA faceplants on the canvas but tries to get back up to his feet, ONLY FOR HARPER TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO HIS BACK!
Stew-O: SOSA gives a cry of pain, this definitely not being the start that he expected. Harper grabs him by the head, bringing him up to his feet before beginning to drag him toward her corner. She reaches out her hand…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: TAGGING IN HOLLY ARROW! Holly enters the ring while Harper grabs SOSA, sending him to the ropes while both meet him at the center of the ring… LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE DROPKICK TO TAKE HIM OUT! POTARA using the numbers to their advantage early and that’s not going to be good for SOSA if he can’t get something going early. Harper rolls out onto the apron while Holly grabs SOSA and brings him up to his feet, turning him around, BEFORE GOING FOR A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Jake Mercer: BUT SOSA MANAGES TO BREAK FREE, SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! Holly takes the hit and falls backward against the ropes while SOSA approaches, only for her to connect with a back elbow to his face to send him back! Holly then spins around and connects with a spin kick to the abdomen to double him over, BEFORE PULLING HIM IN AND CONNECTING WITH A DDT-
Stew-O: BUT SOSA WILLS HOLLY UPWARD- ONLY FOR HOLLY TO GO OVER AND ROLL HIM UP INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA KICKS OUT! The two of them roll backward up to a kneeling position, WITH HOLLY SHOOTING UP AND ATTEMPTING A SLIDING STO- SOSA manages to get out of the way and get back up to his feet while Holly tries to get up, JUST FOR HIM TO GO UNDER AND GRAB HER AROUND THE WAIST FROM BEHIND INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! Holly is taken down to the ground but quickly rolls backward once again, ONLY FOR SOSA TO SHOOT UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECT WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! She’s taken down but SOSA brings her back up and grabs her around the waist, RUNNING HER FORWARD AND RAMMING HER INTO THE CORNER! SOSA holds out his hand…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: GETTING THE TAG OUT TO THE VISUAL PROPHET! Viz enters the ring, while SOSA grabs her by the head, BOTH OF THEM LIFTING HOLLY OFF OF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE SUPLEX! Both teams utilizing their partners with all four of them having gotten a hand in this match so far, and right now it seems like Soul Food Sunday is beginning to get the upper hand. Holly staggers back up to her feet slowly, ONLY FOR VIZ TO GRAB A HOLD OF HER AND TAKE HER BACK DOWN WITH A SCOOP SLAM! He then runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING HER WITH A HUGE SPLASH!
Stew-O: That’s 270 pounds of weight coming down on Holly Arrow, and that definitely was not the most pleasant impact. She tries to roll herself toward the ropes and at the very least get away from the situation, but Viz is already on his feet and quickly approaching as he grabs her by the arm and begins to drag her back up to her feet. He then proceeds to lift her up into a Fireman’s Carry position, possibly looking for something big here…
Flannery McCoy: But that doesn’t happen as Holly manages to send elbows toward the side of his head to force her out of that position! She realized the trouble that she was in and how important it was for her to get out of that. Viz struggles to keep her on his shoulders, and regardless of whether or not he has a choice in the matter, Holly slips out and lands behind Viz! He turns around, TRYING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- Holly ducks under before running to the ropes and back while he turns around… CONNECTING WITH A INAZUMA LEG LARIAT TO THE HEAD WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: Holly is right back up to her feet, realizing that she does not have much time, grabbing a hold of both of Viz’s legs, and it looks like she’s about to go for a submission hold… but before she can fully execute it, he manages to send a boot to her face to force her backward! This allows Viz to momentarily recover as he drags himself away and toward a corner before using the ropes to get back up to his feet. He props himself up in the corner while Holly approaches, CONNECTING WITH A CORNER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Holly then follows that up, CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW! She then takes him down with a Snapmare, BEFORE LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO FINISH OFF THE COMBINATION!
Stew-O: But Viz manages to roll out of the ring and away from that! He’s hurt but he got out of that situation the best that he could and managed to keep himself on both feet, albeit at ringside, and Holly knows that she’s going to have to follow that up for something if she wants to keep the attack in POTARA’s favor. She grabs a hold of the ropes, eyeing Viz while he uses the barricade to get himself back up to his feet before pushing himself away… WITH HOLLY LEAPING OFF AND LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! SOSA JUMPS OFF THE APRON AND PULLS VIZ AWAY, LEAVING HOLLY TO CRASH AND BURN! She grabs her chest in pain while beginning to push herself back up to her feet, ONLY FOR SOSA TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK TO HER JAW TO TAKE HER OUT! The referee is trying to maintain order, but it seems like it’s far too late for that as Harper Lee has jumped off the apron, rounding the corner and looking to save her tag team partner!
Jake Mercer: SOSA turns around, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE BY HARPER! She’s grabbed and turned around by Viz who lifts her up off the ground, BUT BEFORE HE CAN TRY ANYTHING, HARPER MANEUVERS HERSELF ONTO THE APRON! Viz tries to pull her off, only to get a boot to the face! SOSA is back up and tries to grab Harper’s leg, but is met with the same result as she kicks him in the face as well! He’s sent backward, WHILE HARPER RUSHES FORWARD AND LAUNCHES OFF THE APRON TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CANNONBALL SENTON OFF THE APRON!
Stew-O: Harper is back up to her feet while the crowd roars in approval, ONLY FOR VIZ TO GRAB HER AROUND THE WAIST AND LAUNCH HER INTO A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Harper is sent tumbling down while Viz eyes Holly, who is down on the ground and struggling to recover back up to her feet, only to be met with a stiff kick to the abdomen by Viz! He then grabs her by the head and rolls her back into the ring, while SOSA is getting back up as well and climbs up onto the apron. Holly tries to get back up, only for Viz to connect with an overhead strike to the back! He then begins to drag her over to his corner…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: TAGGING OUT TO SOSA! He enters the ring and runs to the ropes for momentum while Viz holds Holly up… LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A HURRICANRANA WHILE VIZ BRACES HIMSELF TO CATCH HER INTO A POWERBOMB! GOING FOR ‘DO.WE.HAVE.A.PROBLEM?!’
Jake Mercer: BUT HOLLY LANDS ON VIZ’S SHOULDERS AND COUNTERS INTO A HURRICANRANA USING THE MOMENTUM! He’s taken out and rolls out of the ring while she gets back up to her feet, SOSA RUSHING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO TAKE HER BY SURPRISE WITH A SPEAR!
Stew-O: HOLLY LEAPFROGS! SHE TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: GETTING THE TAG OUT TO HARPER LEE! SOSA skids down to the ground but quickly gets back up to his feet, TURNING AROUND AND BEING MET BY A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE FROM HARPER WHICH TAKES HIM BACK DOWN! She rolls back up to her feet while SOSA quickly gets back up, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST! SOSA loses his balance but manages to fall against the ropes, using them to rebound as he rushes toward her with the last bit of energy that he has… GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- But Harper ducks under, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING REVERSE BULLDOG!
Jake Mercer: Harper rolls back up to her feet and falls backward into a corner, slowly waiting for SOSA to get back up to his feet, possibly looking to connect with something huge while she has the chance. He begins to come to his senses, pulling himself closer to the ropes and heaving himself back up while she pushes herself out of the corner… STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SIMPLISTIC ‘DRAGON FIST’ RIGHT HOOK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: SOSA DUCKS UNDER IT! He avoids it before connecting with a strike to the abdomen of Harper! She’s sent back while SOSA grabs a hold of her arm before sending her to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… BEFORE GOING FOR A BACK BODY DROP- NO! HARPER FLIPS OVER AND SOMEHOW LANDS ON HER FEET!
Flannery McCoy: Both of them turn around to face one another, but Harper beats him to the punch by connecting with a kick to the abdomen which doubles him over… BEFORE LATCHING ONTO HIS BACK AND CONNECTING WITH ‘THE RUMBLING’! SUNSET FLIP BOMB CONNECTS AND HARPER IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS THAT INTO A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHH-
Jake Mercer: BUT SOSA MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! It’s going to take a lot to keep the Unified Tag Team Champions down for the count and POTARA knows that, so they’re going to throw everything they have at them and that was only a precursor of what was to come.
Stew-O: Harper gets back up to her feet, shaking her head while she begins to stomp down on SOSA, making sure that he stays grounded and she continues to mount offense onto him! He’s trying to fight back, but Harper isn’t going to let him do that, bringing him back up to his feet. SOSA begins to fight back, sending strikes to the head! Harper is taken by surprise while he grabs her by the arm and sends her to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip, Harper rebounding… WHILE HE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HARPER GOES UNDER BEFORE SOSA TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A PELE KICK TO THE HEAD WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN!
Jake Mercer: WAIT A MINUTE! THAT’S… THAT’S… ‘TIP TOE-
Flannery McCoy: SHUT UP JAKE DON’T MENTION THAT!
Stew-O: SOSA is taken down and clutching his head while Harper gets back up to her feet, certainly rubbing salt into the wounds of Soul Food Sunday. Viz is practically begging for the tag right now, but Harper isn’t going to let that happen, as she grabs SOSA by the head and brings him back up to his feet before dragging him over to her corner. She reaches out her hand possibly looking to get the tag out to Holly Arrow…
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! VIZ ROUNDS THE RING AND GRABS THE ANKLE OF HOLLY BEFORE PULLING HER OUT OF THE RING! HE GRABS A HOLD OF HER BEFORE SENDING HER TO THE BARRICADE! Holly is dropped in pain while Harper lets go of SOSA and tries to leave the ring to help out her POTARA teammate…
Jake Mercer: BUT SOSA GRABS A HOLD OF HARPER AND PULLS HER BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE ROLLING HER UP, SCHOOL BOY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: HARPER KICKS OUT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOSA ROLLS BACK UP TO HER FEET BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE HARPER DOWN BEFORE SHE CAN GET BACK UP! VIZ ROUNDS THE CORNER AND JUMPS UP ONTO THE APRON WHILE SOSA TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: THE VISUAL PROPHET IS TAGGED IN! VIZ ENTERS INTO THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY LAUNCHES FORWARD BEFORE TAKING A RECOVERING HARPER DOWN WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! Viz is back up to his feet before grabbing Harper and sending her to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… POPPING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND SPINNING AROUND BEFORE DRILLING HARPER DOWN WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Viz is back up to his feet and fired up, circling around a downed Harper Lee and awaiting her to get back up to her feet, possibly looking to set up something big…
Stew-O: WAIT! AN ENRAGED HOLLY ARROW JUST SLID INTO THE RING, SHE’S NOT TAKING KINDLY TO WHAT VIZ DID TO HER BEFORE HARPER COULD TAG OUT AND LOOKS TO MAKE THE SAVE…
Flannery McCoy: ‘KING KONG GUN’! AXE BOMBER STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TAKES VIZ DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE HOLLY GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET, THE REFEREE YELLING AT HER TO GET OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR SOSA TO ENTER INTO THE RING AND SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! SOSA leaves the ring and looks to continue the attack on the outside, but the damage has already been done, Viz is hurt while Harper had just recovered back up to her feet. What could she possibly have in mind right here…
Stew-O: ‘HOUSE OF BALLOONS’! BACKSTABBER TO VIZ TO POSSIBLY SECURE POTARA A DATE WITH THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Flannery McCoy: ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’!
Jake Mercer: VIZ LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TO THE FACE WHILE HARPER IS IN MID-AIR! SHE’S TAKEN OUT WHILE VIZ DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG, PIN ATTEMPT! AND STILL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW SEES WHAT’S HAPPENING AND SHOVES SOSA AWAY, SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING TO BREAK UP THE PIN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOSA LUNGES FORWARD AND GRABS HER BY THE LEG BEFORE PULLING HER OUT OF THE RING!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: HARPER KICKS OUT! HARPER KICKS OUT! VIZ CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Stew-O: HE’S BESIDE HIMSELF, THAT BULLHAMMER ELBOW HAS TAKEN DOWN A WHO’S WHO OF ELITIST IN THE PAST AND HARPER GOT OUT! MEANWHILE HOLLY AND SOSA ARE TRADING PUNCHES ON THE OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Viz is back up to his feet while Harper is struggling to catch her breath, barely stirring on the canvas. She tries to get back up to her feet, but Viz grabs her by the head and looks to speed up the process by getting her up to her feet. She tries to fight back but right now it’s no use…
Jake Mercer: AS VIZ LOCKS IN THE ‘CHEF’S KISS’! MASTERLOCK FULL NELSON IS LOCKED IN AND HE BEGINS TO RAGDOLL HARPER! SHE’S DEFENSELESS AND TRYING HER BEST TO BREAK FREE OF IT, BUT VIZ’S GRIP IS TOO STRONG AND SHE’S ALREADY HAD TOO MUCH DAMAGE TAKEN TO HER!
Stew-O: HARPER IS BEING FLAILED AROUND IN THE GRASP OF VIZ AT THE DEAD CENTER OF THE RING AND RIGHT NOW THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ESCAPE FOR HER! SHE STRUGGLES TO GET OUT AND HER MOVEMENT IS SLOWING DOWN, RIGHT NOW SHE’S EITHER GOING TO HAVE TO ESCAPE, TAP OUT, OR PASS OUT, AND SHE’S GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION QUICK! IT MIGHT VERY WELL BE OVER HERE!

Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO GET INTO THE RING WHILE SOSA HENDERSON IS ON THE CHASE, HOLLY GRABBING SOSA BY THE HEAD AND THROWING HIM INTO HIS OWN TAG PARTNER TO FORCE HIM TO BREAK THE HOLD! HOLLY JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HER TAG PARTNER! THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
Jake Mercer: SOSA takes a hard tumble to the ground while Viz is dropped as well, Harper getting released from the submission hold as she stumbles away and catches her breath. SOSA rolls out of the ring and onto the apron as he gets back into his corner, reaching out his hand and trying to get the tag out to Viz so he can get back into this match! Viz realizes that he needs to get a fresher face into this match while Harper is crawling over to Holly in the corner, both partners are eager to enter into the ring as…
(TAG!)
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BOTH OF THEM ARE TAGGED INTO THE MATCH! HOLLY ENTERS THE RING, SOSA ENTERS THE RING, AND IMMEDIATELY HOLLY LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND GOES FOR A ‘BUSTER CALL’! ROLLING WHEEL KICK TO THE FACE OF SOSA!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Holly lands in a seated position, WHILE SOSA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN! He’s back up to his feet, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST- ONLY FOR HOLLY TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Jake Mercer: SOSA rolls back up to his feet while Holly manages to recover as well, AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A KNEE STRIKE- BUT HOLLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GRABBING HIM BY THE BACK OF HIS HEAD BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Holly gets back up to her feet, slamming the mat and hyping the crowd up while she gets back up to her feet, waiting for SOSA to recover…
Stew-O: ONLY FOR SOSA TO TURN AROUND AND LAUNCH TOWARD HER TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A SPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE! SOSA MANAGES TO CRUSH HOLLY AS HE SETS HER UP…
Flannery McCoy: ‘PAID IN FULL’!
Jake Mercer: HOLLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE DOUBLE CURB STOMP!
Stew-O: ‘ROMANCE DAWN’! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS!
Flannery McCoy: THE TOMBSTONE CONNECTS BUT HOLLY ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN, SHE’S EYEING HARPER ON THE APRON! VIZ IS TRYING TO GET INTO THE RING TO HELP OUT SOSA BUT THE REFEREE IS NOT MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AS HE DID LAST TIME, CONTAINING HIM AND KEEPING HIM OUT ON THE APRON WHILE HOLLY REACHES OUT…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: TAGGING IN HARPER!
Stew-O: ‘SKILL ISSUE’!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY BRINGS SOSA UP AND LIFTS HIM INTO A FLAPJACK WHILE HARPER CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! HARPER ROLLS SOSA OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: VIZ HAS ENTERED INTO THE RING, HE LOOKS TO BREAK UP THE PIN AND KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: HOLLY RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A CROSSBODY TO VIZ WHICH SENDS BOTH OF THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Tot Musica’ plays through the speakers while the crowd ERUPTS into thunderous cheers, Harper Lee pulling herself off of SOSA Henderson, a huge smile on her face as she stares up at the ceiling for a moment. Holly Arrow manages to separate from The Visual Prophet and slide into the ring, the both of them embracing into a huge hug knowing what they’ve both accomplished here tonight. The referee makes his way back into the ring, the Unified Tag Team Championships in hand as he hands it to their new owners, both of them raising their titles pridefully into the air with the referee raising their opposite hand in victory as well.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners, and NEW!!! EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!! HARPER LEE, HOLLY ARROW… POTARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: THEY DID IT! POTARA DID IT! What a moment that we’ve just witnessed here tonight live in Boston! You could only imagine how much this title win means for both of these Elitists. For Holly Arrow this is her first title in EAW, for Harper Lee this is her second Tag Title run. Both of them could not be more excited for this and they couldn’t have had better teammates to do it with!
Jake Mercer: …
Stew-O: Soul Food Sunday showcased their dominance as Champions since the beginning of the year, and they have beaten the best that there is to offer in terms of competition. But at the end of the day it was POTARA who had done them over and we have new Tag Champions! Congratulations to Harper and Holly on their victory!
Jake Mercer: …
(Holly and Harper both make their way out of the ring, clinking their titles together around their waist reminiscent of Dragon Ball, as they make their way up the ramp, the crowd continuing to show their support as the new Tag Champions begin to take their leave.)
(Meanwhile, inside the ring the Visual Prophet has slid back in, grabbing the back of his head in pain after a hard landing before approaching SOSA Henderson on the ground. SOSA is stirring, but looks up to see his Soul Food Sunday partner holding out his hand. With a light smile on his face, he takes Viz by the hand and gets pulled back up, the two of them pulling one another into an embrace while the crowd applauds for the two surprisingly.)
(SOSA nods his head as he separates from Viz, disappointed in himself as he turns to make his way out of the ring, Viz following after him as Soul Food Sunday begin to take their leave…)
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL?! VIZ HAS SOSA AND HE LOCKS IN THE ‘CHEF’S KISS’! MASTERLOCK FULL NELSON AS HE DRAGS SOSA TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING AND BEGINS TO RAGDOLL HIM AROUND!
Stew-O: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT WE’RE SEEING! SOSA AND VIZ HAVE BEEN WITH ONE ANOTHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN, NOW VIZ IS WILLING TO THROW IT AWAY LIKE THIS?! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW! OFFICIALS ARE SLIDING INTO THE RING, TRYING TO HELP SOSA HERE!
(SOSA is already unconscious, but Viz doesn’t care at all, he keeps the hold locked in while officials run down and yell at him to let go before he causes irreparable damage to his now former tag team partner. Viz, ultimately after sometime, releases the submission hold and drops SOSA down to the ground, slowly rolling out of the ring…)
Jake Mercer: …
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: WHEN IS ENOUGH REALLY ENOUGH?! VIZ JUST SLID BACK INTO THE RING AND HE HAS A STEEL CHAIR IN HAND AS HE CRACKS IT REPEATEDLY OVER THE BODY OF SOSA WHILE HE’S DOWN! SOSA IS UNRESPONSIVE AT THIS POINT AS VIZ BEGINS TO WALLOP ON HIM!
(Viz drops the chair down to the ground, continuing to shove officials away while he grabs SOSA by the head and begins to bring him back up to his feet…)
Stew-O: ‘DOVES CRY’! SITOUT TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!
(Viz rolls out of the ring upon connecting with the move while officials quickly swarm around SOSA to check on him. They hold up an X to request further medical assistance, and while that’s happening Viz is making his way up the ramp. The crowd is dead silent, not knowing what to make of this, as the chaotic scene is the last shot shown before Grand Rampage begins to quickly fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for birthday cake flavored breakfast pizza featuring Komatsu Ogawa.)
( The scene opens up in what looks like a literal war room with television monitors and pictures hanging on a massive wall showcasing all four teams involved in the Unified Tag Team Championship match that is going to take place in Nashville at Pain for Pride. POTARA is shown in the center of the display and going from left to right we have the Off Brand Amphetamines, the Queen Bees, and lastly DOMINION. In front of that impressive display is standing Kyra Philips who is holding a microphone and is dressed to impress with a camo-colored dress. )
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the EAW War Room! I am Kyra Philips and today I am here before you to try and answer one simple question: Is Potara ready for its biggest challenge to date at Pain For Pride?
Kyra Philips: Of course, there are no ways to know the answer until the weekend of June 16th to 18 but we can bring up elements that can have us wonder, positively or not, about Harper Lee and Holly Arrow’s chances of successfully leaving Nashville with their very first title defense.
The defending Champions have a statistical advantage over their opponents going into Nashville as they are the only team to hold a perfect record since their inception following an incredible Universal Women’s Championship bout between Holly Arrow and then Champion Harper Lee. Since then both ladies have joined forces with not a single pairing able to defeat them on their way to winning the Unified Tag Team Championships during this season’s Grand Rampage against Soul Food Sunday further enhancing their patented hashtag of PotaraSweep as they have thus far indeed swept through the tag team division with dominance and skills. But the opposition standing before them is no laughing matter, starting with DOMINION the team comprised of Hall of Famer and former tag team Champion Xander Payne teaming up with the emerging Ryan Joseph Wilson who as a team only lost once and that was against Soul Food Sunday during Operation Doomsday for the Championships! Since then, Ryan and Xander have been working to stack a claim over the belts as shown last week on Showdown! However, not all is well for Dominion because following their rivalry with Kennedy Street and Devolution, which they won, the General Manager stated that should Dominion lose in Nashville then the Montréal-native would never be drafted to the blue brand for as long as Street is GM! So this is extra motivation for a team that seems to elevate Showdown to the number one brand!
The Queen Bees, formed by Serenity Valdez, Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki are heading into this event with quite a good head of steam as on their path to Pain for Pride they managed to gain victories against the likes of Soul Food Sunday even if one may argue about the ending on that one, Madison Kaline & Cameron Ella Ava, #DIsneyBesties as well as one of their opponents in the Off Brand Amphetamines. The Bees aren’t without any experience as tag team champions with Sierra Bradford having held the title along with Harper Lee as part of The Realm between Territorial Invasion all the way to King of Elite in 2020 and 2021. Mei is not to be underestimated either which makes that team to be a threat on all fronts.
For a time, it looked like The Off Brand Amphetamines, otherwise known as the OBA, were going to be a thing of the past and a match between Kirk and Solomon seemed to be hinting at that BUT they ended up hugging each other post-match and from then it was off to the races for the duo! Solomon Stane had found a new wind to his sail as he found faith in the Lord and has been fighting, and preaching, in the name of the Almighty ever since. On Kirk’s side of things while not as much a believer as his partner he has found a deep desire to turn not just his career but his life around. For the past while now he has been working to improve his relationship with his daughter and stopped doing things such as heavy drinking and dumpster diving which really seems to have brought a positive effect on him.
The Unified Tag Team Championship has always been a huge part to play in the Pain for Pride festivities and this season’s fatal four way match is bound to be one of the best matches in the belt’s history! Will The Queen Bees bring some gold home to Dynasty and Serenity Valdez in Nashville? Will DOMINION make good on their claim and also save Ryan Joseph Wilson’s tenure on Showdown? Will the Offbrand Amphetamine bring the gold back around their shoulders OR will we be seeing Potara’s biggest sweep to date? There is only one way to know and that is to tune in on Disney Plus on the weekend of June 16th to the 18th for EAW’s biggest party of the year: PAIN FOR PRIDE!
(As the scene fades, it starts the next REWIND of Season 16)
(The scene returns to ringside and the camera gets a close up of the King of Elite crown. It has been sat on a podium at ringside, and in the ring, is Voltage ring announcer, Bella Braxton.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT’S THE KING OF ELITE FINALS!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin begins to play.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… HE IS ‘THE ANSWER’ BRONSON DANIELS!
(The ovation for Bronson is loud, but when he steps out onto the stage, the crowd raises its collective voice. Bronson wears his usual attire but it has been done in turquoise and black to match the Vancouver Grizzlies basketball jersey he wears. Bronson hypes the crowd up as he begins to make his way to the ring.)
Stew-O: Here comes Friday Night Dynasty’s representative for King of Elite! Bronson Daniels has basically cemented himself as a premiere main eventer this season and no doubt he looks to win the biggest title of his career here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: He faces stiff competition if you want my opinion, but I can’t even deny that Bronson has been on fire since returning. He’s come extremely close to winning the World Heavyweight Championship this season and capturing the crown can get him one step closer to another shot tonight.
(Once Bronson is in the ring, his music fades out. It is replaced by ‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell. Once again the crowd is pumped because the next man out is also a fan favorite.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… SIMPLY FROM NEW YORK… HE IS ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’ ADAM LUCAS!
Persephone: Gawd his hair looks like shit.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjlol: Be that as it may, Adam comes in with perhaps the most to gain from this match. Since Kennedy Street, who is sexy as hell by the way, took over on Showdown, Adam has found himself the subject of her ire. She has done what she can to make Adam’s life a living hell, including screwing him out of an Elimination Chamber win back at Road to Redemption.
(Adam looks at Bronson and gives him a nod as he gets into the ring. He begins to prepare for the match as his music fades. ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer begins to play and needless to say, this doesn’t yield a positive reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT… FROM THE DEAD SEA IN ISRAEL… HE IS ‘THE MESSIAH’ DRAKE KING!
(Drake walks out with a shit-eating grin on his face and he is wearing an extremely obnoxious gold ring attire and black robe made of Swarovski crystals and feathers. Sadly, he looks every bit like the king he is trying to become and he oozes arrogance.)
Persephone: Well there’s the bozo that is representing Voltage, as if anyone wanted to see him here. Drake’s path to the King of Elite finals has been shrouded in controversy, but try telling him that.
Stew-O: I think I speak for every single person inside this building tonight when I say that we don’t want Drake King to become King of Elite.
(Stew was definitely speaking for everyone and once Drake was in the ring, he had the audacity to take a bow and then take his time removing his ridiculous robe. Once he was done, he looked at his competitors and just rolled his eyes.)
(The referee called for the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell! Our main event is about to commence!
(The sounds of the crowd only amplified things. For Adam Lucas and Bronson Daniels, this was the biggest opportunity of their careers. Neither man was a stranger to the world championship scene of their respective brands. Both had faced immense heartbreak after each crushing loss. If either of them were to win this match, they would gain something that could never be taken from them. They would have the title of ‘King of Elite.’ A world title match would come their way, on their terms thanks to the crown, which is something neither man took for granted, their histories considered. They also knew it was an entirely different story for their other opponent.)
Persephone: Oh yes. Thrilling! Absolute edge-of-your seat entertainment! Guys! They are all… CIRCLING ONE ANOTHER !!!!
(The sarcasm was evident in Persephone’s voice, but for those inside of the Rogers Arena, the tension was palpable. Drake King was smiling like a Cheshire cat, and the look in his eyes only added to the story that was about to be told; for he was one of the most decorated, revered, and evil men in the land of Elite. He was considered by most to be the favorite in this match. Drake was sizing up Adam and Bronson – the predator and his prey. He looked bone-chillingly sadistic at the moment and even rubbed his hands together.)
(That right there, that movement by Drake, caused Adam to stop. It dawned on him that this was not going to be a typical match and a far different experience than the one he had last year at this very event. Drake was not Andre Walker or Chris Elite, and when Bronson looked at him, Adam knew that Bronson felt it too. The unspoken words between the two men were loud and clear. Bronson even turned his attention back to Drake with a slight smirk on his face.)
Drake King: (off-mic) What’s funny?
(Bronson called the shot. He gave a slight nod to Adam. Adam’s lips twisted into a little grin.)
(Together, they pounced.)
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS AND BRONSON DANIELS RUSH DRAKE KING AND BACK HIM INTO THE CORNER! BRONSON WITH PUNCHES TO THE STOMACH WHILE ADAM SHOVES HIS FOOT UNDER DRAKE’S CHIN TO CHOKE HIM!
Stew-O: ADAM RELEASES THE CHOKE AND NAILS DRAKE IN THE STOMACH WITH HIS KNEE! BRONSON SPRINTS AROUND THE RING AND COMES FLYING BACK AT DRAKE!!! ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!
Persephone: SUPERMAN BETTER!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE SLUMPS TO THE GROUND BUT ADAM JERKS HIM UP BY THE HAIR AND DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! HIP TOSS TRANSITIONED INTO A CRADLE POWERDRIVER! ADAM CALLS THAT COMBO ‘HONOR BOMB’ AND HE IS QUICK TO PULL DRAKE INTO THE ‘LUCAS LOCK’!
Stew-O: DRAKE IS REACHING FOR THE ROPES BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON BRONSON! HE’S GONE TO THE CORNER AND LEAPS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! THE CROWD HOLDS THEIR BREATH AS AIR-BRONSON FLIES!
Persephone: HE COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE BACK OF DRAKE’S NECK WITH A GLORIOUS LEG DROP! ADAM RELEASES THE SHARPSHOOTER AND YANKS DRAKE UP! BRONSON AND ADAM SEND DRAKE INTO THE ROPES AND CATCH HIM ON THE REBOUND WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! THEY PICK UP DRAKE AND SEND HIM FLYING OUT OF THE RING!
(The crowd roars as Adam and Bronson face one another with nearly identical grins. Bronson extends his hand and Adam gives it a shake.)
Stew-O: Temporary alliance, or will these two continue to work together to neutralize the threat Drake King poses? Time will tell but it looks like Bronson and Adam are locking up right now. There’s no denying the heart, passion, and toughness of these two men, and either one would make a wonderful King of Elite in my opinion, but you have to wonder which one wants it more?
Persephone: Is there really such a thing as who wants it more? Whether they present it to us or not, both of them are egotistical as fuck and desperate to have the crown in their hands.
Gavin Kirkland: I think Adam may want this more, if you want my opinion. Since Kennedy Street took over Showdown, she has made it her mission to make Adam’s life absolute hell.
Persephone: Yawn. Who fucking cares? Don’t you think Bronson is tired of being a loser too? And he can’t blame it on anyone screwing him over. He’s just been a habitual failure :mjlol:
Stew-O: I’m not going to dignify that with a response, but right now, Bronson does have the upper-hand. He’s backed Adam into the corner and is unloading on him with several definitive rights and lefts!
Gavin Kirkland: But Adam doesn’t seem to be deterred! He reverses their positions and now it’s Bronson being peppered with a series of stiff looking punches! Bronson muscles Adam back, but Adam looks for a corner clothesline! Bronson ducks, slips behind Adam, and tries for a German suplex! Adam catches him with a back elbow to break the hold, grabs Bronson’s arm, and takes him down with an arm drag! Adam maintains control of the arm and puts some extra pressure on Bronson’s shoulder!
Stew-O: Bronson grits his teeth but he is able to fight through the pain! He gets back to his feet, kicks Adam in the right knee, and is able to break free! Bronson rushes the ropes and Adam is taken down with a clothesline! Leaping single foot stomp lands right on Adam’s face and Bronson goes for a quick cover!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: ADAM REVERSES INTO A CRUCIFIX STYLE PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTT-
Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON KICKS OUT! He’s back on his feet and once again he runs for the ropes!
Stew-O: FACE-PLANT! FROM THE OUTSIDE, DRAKE GRABBED BRONSON’S LEGS AND BRINGS HIM DOWN! Drake jerks Bronson out of the ring and levels him several forearm shots! Bronson tries to fight back but Drake catches him with a thumb to the eye and he sends Bronson shoulder first into the ring steps! Bronson is down!
Gavin Kirkland: SUICIDE DIVE FROM ADAM LUCAS! DRAKE KING IS DOWN NOW AND ADAM IS GOING TO TOWN ON HIM! RIGHTS AND LEFTS CONNECT WITH THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S HEAD AND WITH HIS FACE! DRAKE IS COVERING UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFEND HIMSELF BUT ADAM ISN’T LETTING UP!
Persephone: Drake finally kicks Adam off of him and he is grabbing for the ring skirt! He tries to pull himself up but Adam comes firing back with a superkick! Drake manages to duck and ADAM NAILS BRONSON!
Stew-O: NO! Bronson was able to catch Adam’s foot and he snaps him down to the ground! Bronson puts the boots to Adam, but he gets clobbered from behind by Drake! Drake goes to shove Adam into the guardrail, but Bronson shows off his agility by leaping up and landing on top of the guardrail!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson uses the guardrail as a springboard!!!! TWISTING ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!!!!!
Persephone: :damn: DOES NOT CONNECT! ADAM LUCAS JUST KNOCKED HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR WITH A WELL-TIMED DROP KICK!
Stew-O: JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!! DRAKE CONNECTS RIGHT UNDER ADAM’S CHIN! ADAM STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE PUNCTUATES THE STRIKE WITH A LARIAT THAT TURNS ADAM LUCAS INSIDE OUT! DRAKE RIPS ADAM FROM THE GROUND BY THE HAIR AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Persephone: HE PULLS BRONSON UP AND BOUNCES HIS FACE OFF THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! DRAKE ROLLS BRONSON INTO THE RING AND GOES FOR A COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TT-
Gavin Kirkland: SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Drake pulls Bronson into a headlock, but Bronson’s not having it! Both losers are back to their feet now and Bronson elbows his way free!
Stew-O: Bronson sneaks behind Drake, locks the waist, and drives the back of Drake’s head into the mat with a German suplex! QUICK COVER BY BRONSON!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KICK OUT AT ONE!
Persephone: BRONSON DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! HE’S GOT DRAKE UP AS WELL AND PLANTS HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A STANDARD, BORING, ANNOYING SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson waits for Drake to sit up and he rebounds off the ropes! RUNNING DROPKICK! BUT LOOK! ADAM LUCAS IS BACK ON THE APRON AND HE JUMPS ON THE ROPES! ADAM IS LOOKING TO TAKE A RISK AS HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES!!!!
Stew-O: RKO! RKO! BRONSON JUST CAUGHT ADAM IN THE AIR WITH THE RKO! ADAM LUCAS IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE MAT AND BRONSON THROWS HIMSELF ON TOP OF ADAM FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRE-
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE! That was never going to be enough to keep a competitor like Adam Lucas down!
(Gavin’s words rang true. Even though the competitors inside the ring couldn’t hear the commentary team, Bronson Daniels already knew it was going to take more than a simple move to put someone away in this match. His two opponents had their reasons for wanting to win, and of course Bronson knew they would both do whatever they had to do in order to accomplish that. But this wasn’t about them, at least that’s how Bronson was viewing this match. This was about him, his journey, and getting the one thing he desired most; a world championship.)
(The Dynasty Elitist glanced at Adam, who had rolled over and was looking to get back up, and then he fixed his steely gaze on Drake. Drake had made his way into the corner and was sitting up against the turnbuckles. He was glaring at Bronson and a lesser man would have shrunk away from a look that was full of nothing but contempt. Not Bronson, though. He rushed towards Drake, who scrambled to his feet!)
Persephone: DRAKE CATCHES BRONSON IN THE JAW WITH HIS FEET! BRONSON STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE IS ON THE SECOND ROPE! DOUBLE AX-HANDLE TO THE BACK TAKES BRONSON DOWN! DRAKE IS STOMPING ON BRONSON NOW BUT BRONSON QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! HE SLIPS TO THE APRON OF THE RING AND ADAM JUST GOT DRAKE FROM BEHIND!
Stew-O: ADAM WITH A FLURRY OF STIFF RIGHT HANDS TO DRAKE! DRAKE IS FIGHTING BACK! DRAKE IS STRIKING ADAM WITH MULTIPLE SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE!
Gavin Kirkland: FLYING CROSSBODY!!!! BRONSON JUST TOOK OUT DRAKE AND ADAM! BRONSON GRABS ADAM! IRISH WHIP TO THE CORNER! HE RACES AROUND THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING FACEWASH KICK! HE SPRINTS TO DRAKE, WHO ATTEMPTS A CLOTHESLINE, BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND BRINGS DRAKE DOWN WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Persephone: ADAM TRIES TO GET BRONSON FROM BEHIND BUT BRONSON IS READY FOR IT! SPINNING BACK FIST CONNECTS WITH ADAM’S FACE! BRONSON FOLLOWS UP WITH ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’!!! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS ON ADAM LUCAS AND BRONSON DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Stew-O: ADAM KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson keeps Adam grounded with a headlock, looking to finally slow down the pace. These three have been going full throttle since the opening bell, and this could be a smart move.
Persephone: Or it could be stupid considering Drake just broke the headlock with a kick to the back of Bronson’s head.
Gavin Kirkland: Drake, with two handfuls of hair, throws Bronson across the ring! Drake begins stomping away on Adam, while Bronson collects himself in the corner! Drake has Adam Lucas and nails him with a huge European uppercut! Adam tries to retaliate with a right hand, but Drake blocks it, and knees Adam in the gut! Drake hooks the arms and looks to set Adam up for ‘Ascension’ but here comes Bronson!!!!
Stew-O: SPRINGBOARD VERSION OF ‘CHROME HEARTS TAG’!!! DRAKE ROLLS TO THE APRON AND RIGHT OUT OF THE RING! HE HITS THE GROUND AND I THINK BRONSON IS GOING TO FOLLOW HIM! BRONSON BACKS UP AND TAKES A RUNNING LEAP OVER THE TOP ROPE! HOLY SMOKES! HIS AGILITY IS AMAZING AND HE LANDS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRAKE’S CHEST WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Persephone: Amazing? Rex could leap over a literal 20-foot building and do so with his eyes closed.
Gavin Kirkland: Oop! Business is picking up as Bronson is digging under the ring! The crowd is going nuts as he begins to pull out various objects to use as weapons!
Persephone: Gawd, I have spent all season trying to be a good little commentator for these Disney executives. I’m not going to pretend anymore or censor myself. LETS SEE SOME BLOOD!!!!
Stew-O: :whoa:! Calm down!
Persephone: NO! BRONSON HAS PULLED OUT KENDO STICKS, TRASH CANS, TABLES, CHAIRS, AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT IN HIS HAND???
(The object in Bronson’s hand is a curious one, and the crowd seems eager to see him use it. For someone who is creative and innovative, it is the perfect weapon.)
Gavin Kirkland: That… that looks like an oversized, very large, ceramic vase.
Persephone: I wonder who’s wedding reception is missing a centerpiece?
Stew-O: No time to think about that, I guess, because Bronson is heading right for Drake! BRONSON SMASHES THE VASE OVER DRAKE’S HEAD BUT IT DOESN’T BREAK!
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) :oh:
Gavin Kirkland: HE SLAMS IT INTO DRAKE’S FACE BUT IT STILL DOESN’T BREAK!
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) :francis:
(As Drake dropped to his knees and clutched his face, Bronson looked at the vase.)
Bronson Daniels: … !!!!!
Persephone: BRONSON JUST SHOVED DRAKE’S HEAD INTO THE VASE AND HE PULLS HIM UP! OH MY GAWD! HE’S GOT HIM INTO POSITION AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! BRONSON SPINS AROUND AND POWERSLAMS DRAKE! THE BACK OF HIS HEAD CAUGHT THE RING STEPS, SHATTERING THE CERAMIC VASE, AND SENDING PIECES OF HIT FLYING EVERYWHERE! DRAKE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND, HOLDING HIS HEAD, AND I THINK I SEE BLOOD! I REPEAT! I THINK I SEE BLOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe! The back of Drake’s head does seem to be bleeding and Bronson looks pretty pleased at the damage he’s done! He kicks Drake onto his stomach and begins stomping the hell out of the back of Drake’s head!!!!
CRACK!!!!!
(Kendo stick in hand, Adam had started to wail away on Bronson Daniels, happy to beat him like he was nothing more than a government mule. In Bronson’s haste to take Drake down and keep him there, he had taken his eyes off of the man he’d left inside the ring. Adam Lucas was not the type of competitor you turned your back on. He was far too skilled, not to mention eager and opportunistic, and now, he was making Bronson pay.)
Stew-O: ADAM BREAKS THE KENDO STICK IN HALF ON A FINAL SHOT TO BRONSON’S BACK! HE TAKES THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION BY THE HAIR AND THROWS HIM HEADFIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! BRONSON IS DOWN BESIDE DRAKE AND ADAM IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING!
Persephone: HE PUTS THE BOOTS TO BOTH MEN BEFORE SETTLING ON DRAKE! ADAM PICKS THE FORMER TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION UP AND ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! DRAKE ATTEMPTS TO ROLL RIGHT BACK OUT, BUT ADAM STOPS HIM WITH A BRUTAL KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam knows he has to be aggressive here tonight if he wants to win this match and take fate into his own hands. Back at Road to Redemption, his chance to win the Answers World Championship was unceremoniously taken from him by the actions of Kennedy Street. While this won’t guarantee Adam an Answers World Championship win, it gets him a hell of a lot closer to that goal, and the ability to cash in for a match at any time.
Persephone: Like maybe away from Showdown and Kennedy?
Gavin Kirkland: Exactly!
Persephone: That’s too bad because Adam sucks and Kennedy is great!
Gavin Kirkland: :francis:
Stew-O: ADAM DRAGS DRAKE AWAY FROM THE ROPES ONLY TO DEADLIFT HIM UP BY THE WAIST! HE THROWS DRAKE OVERHEAD WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD SLAMS AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!
Persephone: DRAKE CLUTCHES THE BACK OF HIS HEAD BUT ADAM WITH A RUNNING, SLIDING DROP KICK! HE PULLS DRAKE UP AND THERE’S AN IRISH WHIP ACROSS THE RING! ADAM GETS A RUNNING START AND LANDS ON DRAKE WITH HIS VERSION OF THE STINGER SPLASH!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam backs off and Drake staggers out of the corner! Drake is stumbling around and that gives Adam a huge opening! ADAM WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM! DRAKE IS DOWN! ADAM GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHH-
Persephone: SATAN KICKS OUT!
Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS JUST SLAMMED A TRASH CAN DOWN ON ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LOOKS LIKE HE BARELY FELT IT! HE LEAPS TO HIS FEET AND KNOCKS THE TRASH CAN INTO BRONSON THANKS TO A STANDING DROP KICK! BRONSON QUICKLY REGAINS HIS FOOTING, BUT ADAM LUCAS HAS THE TRASH CAN NOW! HE BASHES IT OVER BRONSON’S HEAD AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES! BIG BOOT TO THE FACE TAKES DOWN BRONSON!
Persephone: ADAM BEGINS BEATING BRONSON WITH THE TRASH CAN AND DOESN’T STOP UNTIL IT’S COMPLETELY DENTED UP!
Stew-O: DRAKE TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE MIX BUT ADAM SLAMS THE TRASH CAN INTO HIS FACE! HE TOSSES IT DOWN, GRABS DRAKE, AND SUPLEXES HIM DOWN ON TOP OF BRONSON! ADAM GRABS THE TRASH CAN AND HE IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE! ADAM ISN’T KNOWN FOR TAKING RISKS, BUT THIS IS THE KING OF ELITE FINALS! HE KNOWS HE HAS TO GO FOR BROKE!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM GRIPS THE TRASH CAN TO HIS CHEST AND DOESN’T HESITATE TO LAUNCH HIMSELF FROM THE TOP! ADAM AND THE METAL TRASH CAN LAND ON TOP OF DRAKE, WHICH CRUSHES BRONSON, WHO’S ON THE BOTTOM!
Persephone: But was that really smart, though? The idiot hurt himself in the process and he can’t even make the cover!
(Persephone was right about Adam being unable to make the cover at that particular moment. There’s a reason they’re called ‘high risk’ spots. They take something out of everyone, including the perpetrator. In Adam’s head, he had no choice though. He had come so close last year to winning this very match and the agony of losing it had been heartbreaking. It was now or never for Adam Lucas, and deep down he knew that he likely wouldn’t have a chance like this again.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: HOLD ON! LOOK AT THE REFEREE! HE’S MAKING THE COUNT BECAUSE DRAKE IS ON TOP OF BRONSON AND DRAKE’S SHOULDERS AREN’T DOWN!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM SEES WHAT’S GOING ON AND HE MAKES A LEAP TOWARDS DRAKE AND BRONSON TO BREAK UP THE PIN!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: ADAM JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF!!!!
Stew-O: I think Adam just saw the King of Elite crown flash before his eyes. Drake King just damn near won the thing.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam looks more than relieved right now as he pushes himself back up. Drake is back to his feet as the two men lock up, jostling back and forth for position. It’s Drake who manages to push Adam back into the corner, but Adam blocks Drake from leveling him with a forearm and lands a solid right hand to the side of Drake’s head! Adam follows up with a huge European style uppercut and he knees Drake in the gut! Adam tosses Drake into the corner and begins to pepper him with rights and lefts!
Persephone: Those body shots are hitting their mark and Adam switches to stomps until he gets Drake into a sitting position! Adam’s knee connects with Drake’s face, and now he pulls Drake from the corner by the hair! Adam drags Drake to the center of the ring and it looks like he’s attempting to set Drake up for ‘Level Up’!
Stew-O: Adam hoists Drake in the air BUT DRAKE FLIPS OVER HIM AND PULLS HIM DOWN FOR A PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM KICKS OUT!!! Both men scramble to their feet and collide with one another! Adam quickly gains the advantage and sends Drake crashing to the mat with a nice looking spine buster! He follows up with a leg drop and goes for the cover!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Another kick out by Drake!
Stew-O: Adam slips to the outside of the ring and he is looking for a weapon! Drake is right on his heels and the two men are exchanging punches right here in front of us! Drake finally nails Adam with a massive forearm and sends him crashing into the guardrails! Drake storms over to the timekeeper’s area and he is looking for a chair!
Gavin Kirkland: Steel chair in hand, DRAKE HEADS TO ADAM!
Persephone: ADAM MOVES AND THE CHAIR SLAMS INTO THE GUARDRAIL! DRAKE WHIRLS AROUND, SWINGING THE CHAIR, BUT ADAM KICKS IT RIGHT OUT OF HIS HANDS!
Stew-O: HOLY HELL! BRONSON DANIELS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE DIVES OUT OF THE WAY AND BRONSON CRASHES DOWN ON TOP OF ADAM! DRAKE IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING AT THE MOMENT!
(As Drake surveyed the carnage, an evil smile crossed his face. Out of instinct, he touched the back of his head, where it had split, but the blood had already clotted. For whatever reason, this seemed to enrage him. It served as a stark reminder of the sheer hypocrisy of the Disney takeover. EAW hadn’t changed. It would never change. It was a glorified cesspool of miscreants and criminals, and he hated it. He hated everything about it. Looking over at Bronson and Adam, Drake saw red.)
Drake King: (off-mic) GET UP!
(He had turned his attention towards the Chinese broadcasters booth and started clearing it off. The Chinese announce team quickly scrambled, screaming into their headsets about how their government shouldn’t have released spy balloons :mjgrin: or perhaps it was something else about how crazy Drake looked at the moment)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: This guy has a few screws loose, doesn’t he?
Persephone: I mean, at least he’s making this shi- this MATCH interesting! Drake totally wants to be King of Elite.
Stew-O: Drake King doesn’t care one iota about the title of ‘King of Elite’. He just wants to feed his ego by keeping Adam Lucas and Bronson Daniels away from the crown.
Persephone: Semantics. Either way, Drake is dragging Adam and Bronson to the table! He scoops Bronson up first and lays him down! Adam is next, placed directly on top of Bronson! Drake grabs a chair and he begins beating Adam Lucas! Those chair shots are breaking Adam’s face! He’s already ugly but Drake is trying to make it worse!
Gavin Kirkland: That chair has been dented in half and Drake seems to be satisfied with the damage he’s done. He’s back to the ring now and up on the apron, what’s he got in mind, I wonder?
(There wasn’t a lot going on upstairs for Drake. He had lost his mind years ago thanks to The Visual Prophet. Since that infamous night, Drake hadn’t been the same, and at the moment, the only thing he wanted to do was punish his fellow King of Elite finalists.)
Stew-O: :lupe: High risk, high reward, I guess. Drake isn’t necessarily someone who is known for taking risks like this. He’s perched on the top rope and he is just staring down at Adam and Bronson, who haven’t moved from the table. Adam’s bleeding from the nose now, thanks to those chair shots, and Drake definitely seems pleased by that.
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd is booing the hell out of Drake as he clasps his hands in a prayer formation. This man doesn’t believe in God. Why is he praying?
Persephone: That idiot thinks he is God. He is praying to himself, Gavin.
(Drake is indeed praying to himself. After he took the time to bless himself – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Drake – he launched himself in the air.)
Stew-O: DRAKE WITH AN INVERTED VERSION OF THE PHOENIX SPLASH! HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF ADAM AND BRONSON, AND THE CHINESE BROADCAST BOOTH HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!
Chinese Broadcaster: Yúchǔn dì měiguó rén. Wǒ xīwàng tāmen ránshāo!!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE IS SITTING UP AND LOOK AT HIS FACE! HE LOOKS COMPLETELY BLANK! DRAKE IS GRABBING ADAM AND DRAGGING HIM OUT OF THE RUBBLE! ADAM IS BARELY CONSCIOUS AT THE MOMENT BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO PHASE DRAKE! HE IS SLAMMING ADAM’S FACE INTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING!
Persephone: ADAM SLUMPS TO THE GROUND AND DRAKE IS GOING TO BULLY BRONSON NOW! HE THROWS BRONSON INTO THE BARRICADES AND IS VIOLENTLY STOMPING ON HIM!
Stew-O: The referee is practically begging Drake to get back in the ring, but this is being contested under triple threat rules. There can’t be any count outs and there’s really nothing that can stop Drake from inflicting as much punishment as he wants on his two opponents.
Persephone: https://media.tenor.com/R5gi51Vxx_8AAAAd/jack-nicholson-yes.gif
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE JUST THROWS BRONSON INTO THE LED RINGPOST AND BRONSON IS ON THE GROUND NOW! MORE STOMPS TO THE FACE AND CHEST! DRAKE HAS LITERALLY LOST IT! HE HAS BRONSON BY THE HAIR AND HE HOISTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! POWERBOMB ONTO THE RING APRON!
Stew-O: BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO! HE POWERBOMBS BRONSON ONTO THE APRON THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE CARELESSLY TOSSING HIM INTO THE RING STEPS! DRAKE GRABS ADAM AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING!
Persephone: :oh: HE’S HOOKED ADAM’S ARMS IN THE ROPES! HE’S TRAPPED ADAM LUCAS! HOLY SHI- SHOOT! HOLY SHOOT! DRAKE JUST DESTROYED A TRAPPED ADAM LUCAS WITH ‘THE GUILLOTINE’! THE SICK KICK JUST SNAPPED ADAM’S HEAD BACK AND LOOK AT DRAKE! HE’S NOT HAPPY WITH JUST ONE! A SECOND ‘GUILLOTINE’ CONNECTS! AND A THIRD! HE IS GOING TO BREAK THIS MAN’S NECK AND I AM FUC- FREAKING HERE FOR IT! :blessed:
Gavin Kirkland: This is not good. This isn’t good at all. Adam Lucas could be seriously hurt and Drake doesn’t have a single bit of remorse. Drake jerks Adam out of the ropes and throws him down in the middle of the ring. Not like this :noah:! Poor Adam!
Stew-O: The referee can count to a thousand. Adam Lucas isn’t moving and it looks like Drake King is going to win this match.
(Rather lazily, Drake draped himself over Adam, not even bothering to hook the leg. The match was done. It was over. Everyone inside the Rogers Arena knew that Adam Lucas couldn’t kick out.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: :damn: IT’S NOT OVER! IT’S NOT OVER! FROM THE DEAD, BRONSON DANIELS GOT BACK IN THE RING AND BROKE UP THE COVER!!! HOW IN THE WORLD WAS HE ABLE TO GET UP AND MAKE IT INTO THE RING IN TIME???
Drake King: (off-mic) :francis: You shouldn’t have done that.
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson looks like he’s been put through Hell and Drake is about to make his life worse! He nails Bronson in the face with a big boot and oh no. Oh no. He’s tying Bronson up in the ropes and is about to do to him what he did to Adam!
Persephone: ‘GUILLOTINE’ PARTY!!!! BRONSON EATS MULTIPLE SICK KICKS RIGHT TO THE FACE AND HE’S DONE!
Stew-O: AND THERE’S A FIFTH ONE JUST BECAUSE! BRONSON IS KNOCKED COMPLETELY OUT AND DRAKE IS BRINGING HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LIVES! ADAM LIVES! HE BROKE UP THE PIN!
Drake King: (off-mic) STUPID IDIOTS! STOP BREAKING UP PINS!!!
(Drake’s face twisted into an ugly sneer as Adam rolled to the side. Breaking up that pin had taken what little energy Adam had left, but frustration was now coursing through Drake’s veins. He slammed his hand down on the mat and grabbed at his hair.)
Persephone: Hey guys. I think Drake is kinda angry right now!
Gavin Kirkland: You don’t say!
(The crowd, who had been overjoyed to see Adam break up the near fall, were now on their feet. They were attempting to rouse both Adam and Bronson up and into the match because no one inside that arena wanted to see Drake win this match. Unfortunately, he was the only man standing at that moment and he was far from happy that he had this match won twice, only to have the count stopped.)
Stew-O: I think Drake is ready to call it a day with this match. He pulls Bronson over to Adam, and now he has both men by the hair.
Gavin Kirkland: Drake forced them up but look! Bronson and Adam both hit Drake with simultaneous forearm shots! That staggers Drake but he manages to keep his grip on both men! They slam their forearms into Drake again and this time they break free! Adam and Bronson grab Drake by the arms and whip him into the ropes! Double clothesline takes down Drake, but he shoots back to his feet! He tries for a double clothesline takedown of his own but Bronson and Adam duck!
Stew-O: SIMULTANEOUS SPINNING BACK FISTS CONNECT! THEY HAVE TAKEN DOWN DRAKE! Bronson and Adam look at one another and both are trying to catch their breath! That allows Drake to get himself right back into this but Adam connects with a boot to the face! Drake stumbles towards Bronson who pokes him in the eyes and nails him with an uppercut! Adam grabs Drake and throws him out of the ring, but there goes the alliance! Bronson kicks Adam in the gut and throws him shoulder-first into the ring post!
Persephone: Adam rolls onto the apron but now that he’s back in this match, he’s not going to let a stinging shoulder stop him. He nails an incoming Bronson with a forearm and leaps on the ropes! Bronson fires back with a step-up Enziguri that knocks Adam off the top rope! Adam lands on his throat and crashes to the ground, but Drake is back up on the apron now!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson heads for Drake, but Drake darts between the ropes and catches Bronson in the gut with his shoulder! Bronson shakes it off and headbutts Drake right off the apron!
Stew-O: While Bronson was tied up with Drake, Adam got back in the ring! He clubs Bronson from behind and grabs him by the neck! Adam tries for a swinging neckbreaker, but Bronson catches him with an elbow and quickly lifts Adam up! Adam drives his elbow into the top of Bronson’s head and gets his feet back on the mat! He swings wildly, looking to connect with a right hand, but Adam ducks, slips behind Bronson, and grabs him by the waist! Bronson cracks Adam in the nose with a headbutt, and immediately Adam begins bleeding again. Drake took a chair to his face earlier in the match and did a lot of damage.
Persephone: What matters is Bronson is able to free himself from Adam and he wrestles him to the ground! Bronson is looking to hook the arm and go for a crossface, but Adam is able to hook his foot on the ropes and use that to pull himself away from Adam!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake slips back in and nails Adam with a basement style dropkick! That forces Adam into the ropes, and allows Bronson to slip to the outside! Drake slams his foot against the side of Adam’s head and forces it into the ringpost! He grabs the ropes to add some extra pressure but look at Bronson!
Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS HAS THE RING BELL AND HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING! HE SMASHES IT INTO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: DRAKE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Stew-O: BRONSON GRABS THAT ARM AND ROLLS OVER, LOCKING DRAKE IN A FUJIWARA ARMBAR! DRAKE, WHO’S NOW BLEEDING AGAIN FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, CRIES OUT AND REACHES FOR THE ROPES, BUT THAT CAUSES BRONSON TO APPLY EVEN MORE PRESSURE! HE IS LOOKING TO BREAK DRAKE’S ARM HERE AND DRAKE KNOWS THAT!
Persephone: There’s also no rope breaks in this :umad:! I say… BREAK HIS DAMN ARM!
Gavin Kirkland: You can see the pain etched all over Drake’s face as blood begins to pool on the mat! Bronson pulls back on the arm and look at Drake’s other hand! He is raising it up like he is about to tap out!!!!
Stew-O: ‘TJD’!!!! ADAM LUCAS TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HIS WIFE’S PLAYBOOK WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD! THE SUBMISSION ON DRAKE KING IS BROKEN BUT ADAM IS QUICK TO CAPITALIZE! HE LEAPS ON DRAKE AND LOCKS IN ‘ICONIC’! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS APPLIED! IF ADAM CAN HANG ON TO THIS HE MIGHT WIN THE MATCH!!!!
(With the hold taught to him by his legendary mentor, Orlando Cruze, Adam was going for broke. He wanted, no he NEEDED to win this match, and get the King of Elite crown. For nearly a year, Adam had been close to capturing his first ever world title and time after time, the Answers World Championship seemed to slip through his fingers. He was done waiting, done being patient, and he knew something had to give. If that meant choking the very life out of Drake King, then he would do it. Adam was not going to let this chance to win King of Elite slip through his fingers.)
Persephone: DRAKE IS FADING AWAY! CHECK HIM, REF! I WANT TO SEE IF HE’S DEAD YET!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: The referee lifts Drake’s arm and lets it fall to the ground. I think he’s out, guys! Holy smokes! I think Adam is going to win this!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE CHECKS DRAKE AGAIN AND HIS HAND FALLS TO THE MAT A SECOND TIME! STICK A FORK IN HIM! HE IS DONE! ADAM LUCAS IS GOING TO BECOME OUR NEW KING OF ELITE!
(For the third and hopefully final time, the referee lifted up Drake’s hand. The audience held their collective breath. If this were to be the end, they would be fine with that. Adam Lucas would make the perfect king, and more importantly, he wasn’t Drake King.)
(After what seemed like an eternity, the referee let go of Drake’s hand.)
Persephone: RUNNING LOW DROPKICK CONNECTS WITH ADAM LUCAS AS DRAKE’S ARM HITS THE MAT! BRONSON DANIELS HAS SAVED THIS MATCH UP! HE GRABS ADAM AND LOCKS HIM IN HIS OWN VERSION OF THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! BRONSON IS GOING TO CHOKE OUT ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS CROWD IS STUNNED! I AM STUNNED! BRONSON CAME OUT OF NOWHERE TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE!
Stew-O: ADAM LUCAS IS WORKING ON A REVERSAL! HE’S MANAGED TO KEEP BRONSON’S ARM FROM CUTTING OFF HIS AIR SUPPLY AND HE’S TRYING TO PIN BRONSON’S LEG WITH HIS ELBOW! BRONSON IS WORKING ON GETTING HIS OWN ARM FREE, BUT HE’S FORCED TO LET GO! ADAM QUICKLY ROLLS TO THE SIDE, GRABS THE ROPES, AND PULLS HIMSELF UP! BRONSON SPRINTS TOWARDS ADAM BUT ADAM CATCHES HIM FLUSH ACROSS THE JAW WITH HIS BOOT! HE PUSHES OFF THE ROPES AND TURNS BRONSON INSIDE OUT WITH A HUGE LARIAT!
Persephone: ADAM SEES DRAKE SITTING UP THE CORNER AND RUNS TOWARDS HIM! RUNNING KNEE STRIKE CATCHES DRAKE IN THE FACE! ADAM PICKS UP DRAKE AND SITS HIM ON TOP OF THE TURNBUCKLE! WITH THE CROWD SOLIDLY BEHIND HIM, ADAM CLIMBS UP AND RAISES HIS FIST IN THE AIR! HE PUNCHES DRAKE IN THE HEAD!
(That action by Adam prompted the crowd to happily count along.)
Crowd: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE… TEN!!!!
(Adam held his hand up, going for an eleventh and final punch, but the crowd dramatically gasped!)
Stew-O: BRONSON JUST SPRINTED UP THE ROPES, GRABBED ADAM FROM BEHIND, AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPERPLEX!!!!
Persephone: DEAR GAWD! ADAM JUST FLEW ACROSS THE RING AND LANDED ON HIS NECK AT A DISGUSTING ANGLE . I’M WET RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Can I taste?
Stew-O: WE’RE ON DISNEY PLUS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, NOT PORN HUB!
(There was a small pause in the commentary and one can only assume it was so the broadcast team could get yelled at. Meanwhile, Bronson had gone back to the ropes and was taking his turn punching Drake!)
Crowd: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE… TEN… EL-
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE WITH A HEADBUTT TO BRONSON’S GUT! THAT STOPS BRONSON IN HIS TRACKS BUT HE QUICKLY RECOVERS! HE PULLS DRAKE UP AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE PERCHED PRECARIOUSLY ON THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: :lupe:
Persephone: BRONSON LEAPS UP, LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF FRANKENSTEINER, NO DOUBT A TRIBUTE TO HALL OF FAMER BLANDREA VALENTINE, BUT DRAKE CATCHES HIM! DRAKE TURNS BRONSON AROUND AND DRIVES OFF THE TOP! A SUPER FALCON ARROW CONNECTS! DRAKE HAS BRONSON IN A PINNING POSITION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-
Stew-O: YES! BRONSON ROLLS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake doesn’t even have the energy to look surprised about it. He’s sprawled out on the mat, while Adam is trying to regroup on the outside. :lupe: Showdown’s big hope looks to be favoring his neck.
Persephone: Bronson just rolled out of the ring as well. I can only assume he is trying to put as much distance as he can between himself and Drake right now. As much as it disgusts me to hand out compliments, all three of these bozos have really gone above and beyond to win this match.
Stew-O: I don’t think we need to remind everyone what’s on the line tonight. Over the years, we have seen plenty of Kings cash in their crowns and win their world title match. Last night, Adam Lucas got to watch his wife, Dr. Bethany Blue, do that very thing when she converted on last year’s Empress of Elite win. There is so much at stake for each man in this match, and eventually, someone has got to find a way to win it.
(While Drake remained in the ring, Bronson and Adam were on opposite sides of it. Both of them were exhausted, mentally and physically, but it was their emotion and competitiveness that were willing them on in this match. Adam felt the aftermath of that sick landing and his neck didn’t feel right. As he attempted to shake it off, he decided that he needed to up the ante.)
(Unbeknownst to Adam, Bronson had lifted the apron skirt and was looking for something, anything at all, he could take back inside the ring with him. His hand finally landed on something and there was no mistaking the smile that crossed his face.)
Persephone: :comeagain: Did Bronson just pull out a barbed wire wrapped BASKETBALL???
Stew-O: LEBRONSON TIME :blessed:!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT TO BE UPSTAGE, ADAM HAS A WEAPON OF HIS OWN!
Persephone: What fresh hell is that???

Stew-O: That, my friend, is a colonoscopy scope.
Gavin Kirkland: PTSD… PTSD!!! ALWAYS GET THE ANESTHESIA!
Stew-O: :mjlol:
Persephone: Well that’s uhhh… different.
(Bronson slid into the ring behind Drake. Adam slid into the ring in front of Drake. Drake took a moment to collect his thoughts about this. All he could do was close his eyes.)
Drake King: (off-mic) :man_standing:
Stew-O: SLAM DUNK BY BRONSON DANIELS! THE BARBED WIRE BASKETBALL IS DRILLED INTO DRAKE’S SKULL!
Persephone: AT THE SAME, THE COLONOSCOPY SCOPE IS WHIPPED INTO DRAKE’S FACE! ADAM USES IT AS A WHIP AND STARTS TO BEAT DRAKE WHILE BRONSON PRACTICES DRIBBLING ON DRAKE’S HEAD! THIS IS FREAKING WONDERFUL!
Gavin Kirkland: ONCE AGAIN ADAM AND BRONSON ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO DESTROY DRAKE! ADAM FINALLY RELENTS AND HE KICKS DRAKE OVER ONTO HIS BATTERED BACK! ADAM GOES FOR THE COVER, BUT BRONSON YANKS HIM OFF AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
Stew-O: ADAM POUNCES ON BRONSON AND USES THE SCOPE TO PULL HIM INTO A CROSSFACE! ADAM HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN ON BRONSON, WHILE BRONSON IS PINNING DRAKE! THE REFEREE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Persephone: DRAKE’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! HE NEEDS TO FREAKING COUNT!
(The referee started to count.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTT-
Gavin Kirkland: SWITCHING THE SCOPE TO ONE HAND, ADAM USES HIS OTHER ONE TO JERK DRAKE’S SHOULDER UP! BRONSON IS ABLE TO GET HIS RIGHT HAND ON THE MAT AND USES IT TO PUSH UP AND HE GOES OVER ADAM! BRONSON HAS A ROLL UP ON ADAM LUCAS! HE IS GOING TO STEAL THIS WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: ADAM KICKED OUT JUST IN TIME!
Persephone: BRONSON IS THE QUICKER OF THE TWO BECAUSE HE CUTS ADAM OFF WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BRONSON FOLLOWS UP WITH A MASSIVE CHOP TO THE CHEST AND HE GOES RIGHT FOR THE ROPES! ADAM FOLLOWS BRONSON! BOTH MEN ARE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE NOW, EXCHANGING RIGHTS AND LEFTS! BRONSON TAKES ADAM BY THE HAIR AND THERE’S ANOTHER HEADBUTT! WE STAN WRESTLERS WHO BELIEVE IN GIVING CONCUSSIONS!
Stew-O: THE MOMENTUM CAUSES ADAM TO LOSE HIS FOOTING AND HE CROTCHES THE ROPES! BRONSON CHOPS HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL ADAM IS HANGING BACKWARDS! TREE OF WOE POSITION! BRONSON GETS INTO STANDING POSITION AND HE WAITS AS ADAM TRIES TO SIT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! BRONSON CATCHES HIMSELF, SOMERSAULTS THROUGH, LEAPS UP, AND CRASHES DOWN ON TOP OF DRAKE WITH A JUMPING SPLASH! BRONSON HOOKS THE LEGS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: DRAKE KICKS OUT!
Stew-O: BRONSON TAKES DRAKE AND IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE COLLIDES WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN ADAM AND BRONSON NEARLY TAKES DRAKE’S HEAD OFF WITH A RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE! HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP THAT SENDS DRAKE FLYING ACROSS THE RING! BRONSON TURNS TO ADAM AND BEGINS STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HIM! ADAM IS TRYING TO COVER UP BUT IT’S POINTLESS! BRONSON PUT HIM IN A VULNERABLE POSITION AND HE HASN’T RECOVERED!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE TRIES TO CATCH BRONSON OFF GUARD, BUT BRONSON STRIKES HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW! HE WHIPS AROUND, CATCHES DRAKE WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST AND FOLLOWS UP WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! DRAKE FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES AND BRONSON GRABS HIM BY THE ARMS AND HOOKS HIM!
Persephone: ‘SAVAGE MODE’!!! THE LIFTING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER CONNECTS AND BRONSON COVERS DRAKE!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: :damn: :damn: :damn: I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT, BUT ADAM JUST SAVED THE MATCH WITH A FLYING CROSS BODY OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: He must have been able to sit up and get himself on the turnbuckles! Either way, Adam just saved Drake’s day and the King of Elite finals are still going!
Persephone: Bronson just rolled off Drake and he’s favoring his lower back. Adam is clutching his stomach, which took a huge amount of damage while he was tied up, and Drake… well Drake has seen better days, that’s for sure.
(Despite the pain that is shooting through his lower back, Bronson was able to drag himself back to his feet. There is no denying that this popular Elitist would make one hell of a King and winning this match would cap off a great comeback for him. Bronson staggered towards Adam and put the boots to him. After a moment, he glanced around the ring and saw the ring bell that he had used earlier on Drake.)
Stew-O: Somewhere backstage, Jake Mercer is about to cry. I see the look in Bronson’s eyes right now and he is looking to end this match right now. Bronson scoops Adam up and suplexes him down on top of the ring bell! FLYING BRONSONS!!!! BRONS-
Persephone: LANDS ON THE RING BELL :mjlol2:!!! ADAM LUCAS ROLLED OFF AND BRONSON IS GRABBING AT HIS LEG! HE’S HURT! BRONSON IS HURT!
Stew-O: NO! NO! NO! That could be the end of Bronson Daniels! Seeing him hurt has given Adam Lucas life and Adam launches himself at Bronson! HE RAPIDLY KICKS BRONSON IN THE BACK OF THE LEG BEFORE GRABBING IT AND SLAMMING IT INTO THE MAT! ADAM MAINTAINS CONTROL OF BRONSON AND GOES TO THE OUTSIDE! HE WRAPS BRONSON’S LEG AROUND THE RING POST AND HE’S GOING FOR A FIGURE FOUR! FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE RING POST!
Gavin Kirkland: THERE’S NO DISQUALIFICATION IN THIS! ADAM CAN KEEP THAT HOLD CINCHED IN FOR AS LONG AS HE WANTS AND THERE’S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO!
Persephone: DRAKE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT! HE’S ON THE OUTSIDE NOW AND KICKS ADAM IN THE CHEST! THE FIGURE FOUR IS BROKEN AND DRAKE PULLS ADAM UP!
Stew-O: ADAM BLOCKS A RIGHT HAND BY DRAKE AND HITS HIM WITH A FOREARM! DRAKE FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN BUT ADAM DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO DRAKE’S STOMACH! HE RAMS DRAKE INTO THE RING POST BEFORE THROWING HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE IS CRAWLING TOWARDS THE STUPID SCOPE THOUGH! ADAM SEES THIS AND RUSHES TOWARDS DRAKE AND STOMPS DOWN ON HIS HAND! THAT’S THE GLOVED HAND THAT HIDES THE MANGLED FINGER DRAKE LOST IN THE CHAINSAW DEATHMATCH AGAINST JUSTIN WINDGATE!
Persephone: Happier times :mjcry:
Stew-O: ADAM SNATCHES THE SCOPE UP AND WRAPS IT AROUND DRAKE’S NECK! DRAKE IS SCRATCHING AND CLAWING AT THE SCOPE, TRYING TO SAVE HIMSELF, BUT ADAM TIGHTENS HIS GRIP! BRONSON IS IN THE CORNER, TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP WITH THE ROPES, BUT HE CAN BARELY MOVE HIS LEG! DRAKE’S FACE IS TURNING PURPLE AND BRONSON DIVES FOR THEM!
Persephone: BRONSON COLLIDES WITH ADAM AND DRAKE IS ABLE TO SLIP AWAY! DRAKE GETS THE HELL OUT OF THE RING WHILE ADAM KICKS BRONSON’S LEG! BRONSON DROPS TO HIS KNEE AND ADAM PLACES A PERFECTLY TIMED KICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST! ADAM GOES FOR THE LEG AGAIN AND BRONSON IS DOWN! ADAM WRAPS THE SCOPE AROUND BRONSON’S LEG LOOKING TO CUT OFF ITS CIRCULATION AND HE BEGINS STOMPING AWAY ON IT! ADAM LUCAS IS GOING AWF RIGHT NOW!!!!
(Every missed opportunity and every screw job is playing in Adam’s head at that moment. He is taking all of his anger and frustration out on Bronson Daniels. Bronson might not have had anything to do with what’s happened to Adam, but he just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. As torn as the crowd is to see Bronson getting beat, they feel for Adam and everything he has gone through. Adam finally collapsed on the mat out of exhaustion but somehow he still had the wherewithal to crawl over to Bronson and drape his arm over him.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: BRONSON. DANIELS. JUST. KICKED. OUT. WOW!
Gavin Kirkland: The look on Adam’s face says it all. After rendering one of Bronson’s legs useless, he thought the match was won. What is it going to take for one of these men to walk away with the right to call himself the King of Elite?
(Neither Adam nor Bronson were interested in moving at the moment. It had been a long, grueling match and neither was in a position to capitalize. However, the man on the outside of the ring had been sitting back and watching this, and once Bronson kicked out, Drake had started to unlace his boot. Nestled inside in its own little pocket was a sharpened crucifix that Drake just happened to keep handy. A maniacal look crossed ‘The Messiah’s’ face and he clutched the crucifix to his chest. He took his time standing up and the crowd unloaded on him. The look on his face grew into a smile and he held the crucifix up in the air.)
Drake King: (off-mic) You all are about to bear witness to the birth of a new King. A King that sees EAW for the craphole it truly is and one who wants to end it.
(There was no quieting the crowd now. They were booing the hell out of the man they had come to hate with every fiber of their being.)
Drake King: (off-mic) KING DRAKE KING! KING DRAKE KING! KING DRAKE KING!
Crowd: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
(Their ‘no’ chant fell on deaf ears. Drake had gotten back in the ring and his attention was focused on Adam Lucas. Showing absolutely no mercy, Drake drove the crucifix right into Adam’s head. A line of blood began to trickle down Adam’s face and then grew thicker as Drake ruthlessly drove the crucifix down into the open wound. He was toying with Adam at the moment, and Adam knew it.)
(Rage engulfed Adam and he started to fight back. This seemed to amuse Drake and he dug that crucifix in deeper. Adam’s face was slowly turning into a crimson mask but the spirit of Adam Lucas wouldn’t allow him to stop. He reached up and caught Drake in the face with a right hand. Drake grabbed a handful of hair and slammed Adam’s face into the mat. He raised the crucifix high above his head and slammed it into the back of Adam’s head. Callously and meticulously Drake tortured Adam. Adam’s blond locks turned red and once Drake was satisfied he had done enough, he leaned back and surveyed the scene. His eyes settled on Bronson and a sneer crossed his face.)
(On one leg, Bronson Daniels had gotten up. He was in the process of untying the scope when he spied Drake watching him. Bronson began to grab at the scope to free his leg because at the moment he wasn’t feeling anything. He was willing himself to get free as Drake stalked him. Drake was waiting and Bronson just shook his head.)
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Man… fuck it.
(As cliche as it sounds, desperate times called for desperate measures. Bronson slammed his fist into his leg a few times and scrambled up the ropes. Drake watched, curious, knowing that Bronson was all but beaten. It seemed as if Bronson was willing to go out in style and Drake just sighed. The ego of an Elitist is a fragile thing. It did not surprise Drake at all that Bronson was willing to fall on his own sword. Drake could have easily climbed up after Bronson, but he had something else in mind. It had to be timed just right.)
(It was suicide and Bronson knew it. He couldn’t feel his leg and didn’t know why Drake was just waiting. With nothing to lose, Bronson threw himself off the top rope. Right as he did Drake backed up and went into a sprint.)
Persephone: ‘SECOND DEATH’! ‘BOOK OF DRISTIANITY’! WHATEVER THE HELL IT’S CALLED! DRAKE JUST KNOCKED BRONSON OUT OF THE AIR WITH A RUNNING, LEAPING SKULL PUNT! BRONSON HITS THE MAT WITH A THUD AND DRAKE HAS THIS MATCH WON!
Gavin Kirkland: FOR FUCK’S SAKE! NOT THIS WAY! I DON’T CARE IF DISNEY FINES ME!
(A sick look had crossed Drake’s face as the very life had been sucked right out of the building. The crowd was defeated. The most hated man in Elite Answers Wrestling was about to become the King of Elite.)
Stew-O: In all my years of broadcasting, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that. Drake has dropped down on top of Bronson and the referee has started the count. I can’t believe this is the ending. Dammit.
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(And then the silence was shattered.)
(A scream was ripped from Drake’s lips.)
(The crucifix had been driven right between Drake’s shoulder blades by a bloody Adam Lucas.)
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY SHIT! ADAM LUCAS LIVES! HE GRABS DRAKE AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE RING POST! ADAM FALLS ON TOP OF BRONSON AND HOOKS THE LEG!!! LET’S GO ADAM!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Drake King: https://media3.giphy.com/media/l3q2K5jinAlChoCLS/giphy.gif?cid=790b761101ae4f47180a17c22ec425036ec5251ef9775538&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE 2023 KING OF ELITE… ADAM LUCAS!!!!
(‘You Know My Name’ begins to blast across the speakers and with a look of shock on his face, Adam rolls off of Bronson. The crowd is chanting his name and it takes a moment for the entire thing to register. Everything he had been working for the last couple of years had finally come to fruition. No one had stopped him. No one had tried to screw him over. Adam had found something from within and this time, he was having the last laugh.)
Gavin Kirkland: SHOWDOWN WON! SHOWDOWN WON! ADAM LUCAS IS KING! :blessed: :blessed:
Persephone: There is no better ending than seeing the Devil get stabbed in the back :wow:.
(Persephone’s words were fitting. As the referee helped Adam up, his wife came out. Dr. Bethany Blue, the newly crowned Universal Women’s Champion, had tears in her eyes as she ran down to the ring. She stopped only for a few seconds to grab the King of Elite crown that sat on the ringside podium. Adam pulled his hand away from the referee and stumbled towards the ropes. Despite the pain and fatigue that had settled in his bones, he managed to step down on the ropes for Bethany. She shook her head at his thoughtfulness, in disbelief that in this moment, HIS moment, he would be thinking of her.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) You did it, King.
(That was when the emotion and gravity of the moment hit Adam and tears filled his own eyes. Bethany threw her arms around him and they clung to one another as confetti and streamers started to rain from the sky. Finally, they broke apart and Adam bent his head so Bethany could crown him. He gave her a gentle smile, tenderly touched the Universal Women’s Championship that was around her waist, before they grabbed hands and raised them high in the air.)
(The past was now the past and Adam Lucas, an Elitist who had always put his heart and soul into everything he did, was truly living his dream. The crown on his head signaled a new beginning for him and it was one that would take him to a world championship match. In the back of his mind, he knew the battle was far from over, but that was something he would worry about on another day. He wanted to be in the present. He wanted to feel the crowd. He wanted to share this with his wife. He wanted to remember this moment that no one would ever be able to take away.)
(As the crowd chanted his name, Adam Lucas turned to them and acknowledged it. He embraced them. He turned to Bethany, bent his head, and kissed her as the scene faded away.)
(The scene transitions out to the last and final REWIND of Season 16.)
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Romano: The following is an HELL IN A CELL ARMAGEDDON… and it is for the EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
( The entire Denver crowd becomes unglued to the announcement. Flames begin to gush out from ringside while the Hell in a Cell is lowered down. The lights flicker and the suspense builds. The Hell in a Cell is finally brought down to the ring with its intimidating presence accentuated by the surrounding flames. )
( After the Hell in a Cell is viewed from multiple angles, “44 Bulldog” by Pop Smoke echoes throughout the Ball Arena. The entire audience responds with an ear-deafening pop to the EAW Hall of Famer as Chris Elite begins to make his way to the ring. Elite takes off his ski mask, as the camera pans down to his street fight gear. His eyes go up and down the Hell in a Cell as he takes a couple of seconds before entering. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGERS! FIRST! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds.. HE IS AN EAW HALL OF FAMER…. CHRIIIIIIISSS EEEEELIIITEE!!!!
Deadprez: Deadprez: The EAW Answers World Championship is up for grabs inside the most dangerous structure known to mankind; the Hell in a Cell. Twenty feet of unforgiving metal that has a reputation for ticking years off many careers. This story all started with the man in the ring right now; Chris Elite. It all started with Chris Elite and Jake Smith who formed an alliance that would eventually lead to the creation of The Haircare Kings, which led to them becoming EAW Unified Tag Team Championships. The tag team championships was the one thing that Chris Elite needed to become a grand slam.. and Chris Elite feels like he should be the person that should dethrone Jake Smith of his EAW Answers World Championships.
Gavin Kirkland: Chris Elite thinks that Jake Smith needs to pay it forward. There was a time where Elite offered his wisdom to boost Smith further into superstardom with The Haircare Kings… and the EAW Hall of Famer believes that it is time for Smith to pay it forward and return the favour.. However, he knows better that Smith does not intend on letting go of his dream.. of the one world championship that he has been fighting for his entire career.. and he has stated that the only way that championship will be taken away from him is if it ‘s taken off his dead body..
Eve: Chris Elite has gotten to know Jake Smith more than anybody in that locker room. He travelled across the country with him, flew around the world with him, shared locker rooms with him, shared meals, shared hotel rooms, and went to war together for the better half of a year. Chris Elite and Jake Smith developed a bond together and even though their own personal goals had a conflict that dissolved the Haircare Kings–that is one thing that you cannot ignore. Chris Elite knows almost everything that there is need to know about Jake Smith.. and if Chris Elite weaponizes that fact and takes advantage of it.. then Chris Elite might walk out of here as the new world champion.
( Chris Elite hops off the turnbuckle, stands in the middle of the ring, and waits for the next opponent to arrive. His theme song is replaced by “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi. The Denver crowd reacts even louder to the appearance of the EAW Hall of Famer, Impact. Impact stands atop the stage, spreading his arms to loud and massive pyrotechnics before he marches towards the Hell in a Cell. )
Gina Romano: From Seattle, Washington.. weighing in at 221 pounds… EAW HALL OF FAMER… HE… IS… IIIIMMPPPACCT!!!
Deadprez: You can already feel the tension as Impact stares down Chris Elite from the entranceway. That type of stare isn’t the friendly look because Chris Elite was responsible for his King of Elite rematch being thrown out of the book. Elite delivered a Box Office Smash to Impact to disqualify him and there are many people who believe Impact was going to win back his EAW Answers World Championship on that night. Chris Elite made sure that didn’t happen because Chris Elite is set on making sure he’s the one who ends his reign. Impact is surely furious about that, but he intends on getting rid of Chris Elite and getting his championship back..
Gavin Kirkland: I would say the Hell in a Cell structure is the perfect time to settle the qualms that have been brewing the entire season amongst these three men. Anything can happen inside that cell. Anything goes. This is the culmination of the war between Jake Smith, Impact, and Chris Elite. This could also be the last chance that both challengers could get a try at the EAW Answers World Championship. Chris Elite did come up short against Impact at Midsummer Massacre and Impact didn’t leave King Of Elite with the championship that he lost. This is the night where one man will rise as the ultimate victor of this triangle of a feud.
Eve: Everything has bounced towards the favor of Impact. He came close to taking back his championship at King of Elite, and he has the same opportunity to show us that he can do it again.. However, things have changed now. Chris Elite is in the situation. This opportunity is inside the dangerous Hell in a Cell structure. This is now a triple threat. He no longer has as 50% chance of winning, but now a third of a chance winning. The cards are stacked against the Quintessential one tonight.. but we know that Impact has what it takes to go against adversity.. to go against the odds.. and this Hell in a Cell match will be no different. Impact has a great chance of walking out of here with the result that he yearned for at King of Elite.. and I am most certain that all three of these men will go through absolute war and bloodshed to be the victor.
( The referee stands in between Impact and Chris Elite to avoid any conflict before the match. Impact does his pose in the middle of the ring before rolling out of the ring and standing at ringside. His theme song is replaced by “WAR” by grandson begins to blast through the speakers. The Ball Arena almost has its roof blown off the venue as Jake Smith makes his appearance on the entranceway. He pats the EAW Answers World Championship on his waist before walking down the aisle and spreading his arms. )
Gina Romano: AND! From Atherton, California, weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… “THE PROCESS,” JAKE SMITH!!
Deadprez: Jake Smith is heading into this match with a burden of proof. King of Elite was supposed to be the night where he was going to prove himself as a legitimate world champion. Chris Elite took that opportunity away from him that night. We’ve stated that tonight will be the final culmination of everything that has been going on between these three over the entire season. It all boils down to this. Jake Smith out to prove that he is the superior Haircare King, that he is the true Quintessential champion, and that he deserves every bit of the rewards that he has reaped since December. Jake Smith is out to clear his name.. and the entire world will have no choice but to doubt no more and embrace the new era of Jake Smith when he leaves one of the most dangerous structures known to this industry still as the EAW Answers World Championship.
Eve: Jake Smith most definitely has an opportunity tonight to put every single one of the naysayers to bed. This is a make or break night for Jake Smith. This is his night to prove that he has what it takes to be the next face of Elite Answers Wrestling… The entire world is watching.. and there is a lot of pressure on the shoulders of who he proclaims himself as The Process.. but Smith knows how important this match is. He knows how significant this will be for his career.. and he intends on going through war and putting every fibre of his being on the line tonight.
( Jake Smith hands the referee the championship before walking into the cell. He fearlessly slides into the ring and faces both challengers in the face before walking to his designated corner. The referee signals for the bell. )
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: WELCOME TO ARMAGEDDON.!
Deadprez: Surrounded by the pits of hell, this Hell in a Cell match is now live as all three individuals involved in this match stand off within a triangle. They’re all ready and prepared as they are waiting for who will make the first move in this match. Jake Smith steps in between them and it isn’t surprising that the world champion is the first person to start mouthing off to these challengers.
Gavin Kirkland: Smith points up and down, gesturing that neither of them is leaving Denver, Colorado with the EAW Answers World Championship. That is until Impact grabs his left hand and starts twisting his wrist. Smith lets out a groan and falls to his knees in pain as Chris Elite side swipes Impact with a hefty forearm smash! Impact reels into the ropes whereas Smith turns around Elite! Elite is faster to strike as Smith is floored with a punch. Smith springs back up to get put back down with another fist. This happens two more times until Elite grabs his arm and irish whips him into the ropes!
Eve: Jake Smith holds onto the top rope, avoiding what the Hall of Famer had in mind. Elite immediately charges towards him, but Impact reintroduces himself to Chris Elite by blasting him in the side of the head with a shoot kick. Elite loses balance and reels to the side as Impact turns around to see Smith swinging forward. Impact saw it from a mile away, ducked under it, and delivered a knife-edge chop! Smith better beware of these chops as they formed a welt on his chest in their last match! Impact delivers a second knife-edge chop, before backing him up into the turnbuckles and finishing a trifecta of these chops!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith ducks under the chop and administers one of his own! Just as Impact was in the middle of slapping the champion around and showing him the ropes, Smith gets the one-up on the challenger! Smith delivers a second, and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth knife-edge chop before running into the other corner and back! Chris Elite is collecting himself on the side as Smith now delivers a running clothesline into the corner! Elite slides back into the ring and does a two-for-one special with a dropkick that connects onto both opponents! Elite essentially sandwiched Smith into Impact as Elite goes for seconds!
Eve: Impact rolls and duck under the dropkick, and Elite adapts and latches onto Jake Smith for a potential monkey flip! Elite drops down and catapults Smith from out of the corner! Smith miraculously lands on his feet but immediately meets a knife-edge chop from Impact that sweeps him off his feet! Smith rolls towards the bottom rope as Impact now turns his attention onto his fellow Hall of Famer. Elite puts his agility to good use as he delivers rapid fire shots; a kick to the left leg, followed by a punch to the face, a spinning heel kick to the midsection, and then a roundhouse kick straight to the chest. Impact rebounds off the ropes off the roundhouse kick and immediately powers through Elite with a forearm smash to the jaw. Elite almost gets taken to the ground before he responds with a roundhouse kick to the chest.
Gavin Kirkland: You could see the expressions on their faces that these forearms and roundhouse kicks are as powerful as a bullet! Elite goes for another roundhouse kick, but Impact grabs onto his foot! Elite bounces his other foot off his upper torso and flips backwards onto his feet. Impact is caught off guard and gets drilled with a step-up enziguri! IMPACT IS NOT DOWN AS HE REBOUNDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE! AND RESPONDS WITH A LARIAT THAT TURNS CHRIS ELITE INSIDE OUT! IMPACT IMMEDIATELY SPRINGS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND SCOOPS HIM UP-
Deadprez: Chris Elite hovers over the shoulders and lands on his feet. He wraps his arms around his waist and tries for a german suplex, but Impact reaches through his legs and sweeps him out with one leg. Impact turns around and grabs both of his legs with Elite using them to thrust them. Impact knew he was going to do that and attempted to transition both legs into his famous boston crab! The Walls of Impact are blocked as Elite twists and Impact spirals out of control and crashing onto his back away from Elite. Elite gets back up to his feet and sees Impact heading inbound! Elite sidesteps and sends Impact over the top rope. Elite momentarily believes Impact left the apron, but Impact uses that as an opportunity to quickly ascend the turnbuckles and catch Elite off guard! BUT ELITE KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE AND DELIVERS A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI TO STOP HIM!
Eve: Impact is stunned on the top turnbuckle as Chris Elite joins him. Elite is where he finds himself most comfortable; his aerial stomping grounds as he looks like he is going to go for an avalanche frankensteiner! Impact cross chops his throat and has the challenger coughing and gasping! Impact shoves him off the top turnbuckle and Elite has the wherewithal to LAND ON HIS FEET!
Deadprez: Elite has no time to admire his own handiwork and aims to rectify his mistake! BUT HE HAS NO TIME TO DO THAT AS SMITH CREPT UP FROM BEHIND AND SPIKED THE CHALLENGER WITH A DOUBLE KNEE BACKSTABBER! DID YOU SEE HOW HIGH ELITE BOUNCED OFF THAT BACKSTABBER!?!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact has started to collect himself on the top turnbuckles as he is in a perched position moments before he glides to deliver a diving crossbody onto the unsuspecting world champion! SMITH HAD IT SCOUTED AND COUNTERS THE CROSSBODY INTO A DOUBLE-KNEE GUTBUSTER IN MID-AIR! IMPACT DEFINITELY DID NOT INTEND ON CRASHING CHEST FIRST INTO HIS KNEES! IMPACT GRABS HIS RIBS AND IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! SMITH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS AND REFUSES TO LET IMPACT HAVE ANY ROOM TO BREATHE.. AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS HAVE OFFICIALLY TAKEN THIS MATCH TO RINGSIDE!
Eve: AND IMPACT SWINGS FORWARD AND DISTRIBUTES A NASTY FOREARM SMASH TO JAKE SMITH! SMITH RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM SMASH OF HIS OWN! IMPACT WITH A FOREARM SMASH! JAKE SMITH WITH A FOREARM SMASH! AND IMPACT SWINGS FOR ANOTHER FOREARM SMASH! SMITH DUCKS UNDER IT AND GOES AROUND THE WAIST! AND HE GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! NO! NO! NO! IMPACT DRAWS HIS ELBOW BACK AND IT NAILS HIM IN THE JAW! IMPACT IS DOWNED TO ONE KNEE! AND SMITH HOOKS HIM UP FOR A SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Chris Elite hops over the turnbuckles and runs across the apron! He blasts the world champion in the chest with a running penalty kick and then blasting Impact in the jaw with a back heel kick across the apron. Elite is feeling froggy as he now steps up the turnbuckles to deliver an asai moonsault on the outside here! SMITH GETS OUT OF THE LANDING ZONE AND SLID RIGHT INTO THE RING! IMPACT EATS THE DOWNFALL OF HIS MOONSAULT WHEREAS ELITE GETS UP AND TURNS AROUND TO SMITH DARTING THROUGH THE ROPES!! AND MERCILESSLY DRIVING ELITE INTO THE SIDE OF THE HELL IN A CELL WITH A TOPE SUICIDA! SMITH WITH AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS MOVE AS HE ALSO COLLIDED HIS HEAD INTO THE CELL DOING THAT!
Eve: Smith got the lesser damage inflicted from that tope suicida into the mesh wall as he now grabs the head of the challenger. Smith does not intend on showing any mercy in this match as he smashes his head back and forth into the cage well. Look at the whiplash that Elite is getting with his head getting repeatedly driven into the unforgiving steel! The back of his head might as well be mush right now as Smith now pulls him back up, grabs a handful of his tights and sends Elite face first into the ringpost! Elite goes flying off the ringpost and collides with some of the wall as he now turns his attention to Impact.. AND IMPACT THRUSTS HIM INTO THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW IMPACT THRUSTS HIM INTO THE APRON ONCE MORE.. BEFORE SHIFTING HIM AROUND AND THRUSTING HIM RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF THE CELL!! AND ANOTHER TIME! AND ANOTHER TIME! AND ANOTHER TIME! IMPACT GIVING THE CHAMPION BUBBLE GUTS HERE AS WITH THESE SHOULDER THRUSTS.. AS IMPACT NOW TURNS HIM AROUND AND HOOKS BOTH ARMS!! THE CHALLENGER COULD BE THINKING FOR A HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX ONTO THE FLOOR.. BUT SMITH BACKS UP AND IMPACTS COLLIDES INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAGE.. AND IT IS THE CHAMPION’S TURN AS HE NOW BEGINS TO STOMP DOWN ON THE CHALLENGER REPEATEDLY IN THE CELL WALL!
Deadprez: Jake Smith proceeds to dig his right knee into the temple of Impact, further forcing the flesh on his scalp to make friends with the mesh on the cell wall! Impact is screaming in agony while Smith seems to be taking a liking to this. Smith roughly stomps his head into the cell wall once more before bringing him back into the ring. This is Smith’s second opportunity as cementing himself as a legitimate world champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling; and the aggression he is showing here exudes that type of energy. Impact grabs his skull in pain as he now gets up and turns around to Smith sprinting towards him! Impact ducks under his clothesline and connects with a step-up enziguri! Smith stepped away and nobody was home! AND IMPACT SITS UP ON HIS KNEES AND EATS A THRUST KICK TO THE JAW…
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW JAKE SMITH LOOKS TO DELIVER THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! SO LONG.. AND GOOD NIGHT-
Eve: AND IMPACT HAD IT SCOUTED AS HE COUNTERS BY SNATCHING BOTH OF HIS LEGS, ROLLING BACKWARDS AND SITTING RIGHT INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT! CHAMPIONSHIPS COULD CHANGE HANDS RIGHT HERE IF THE WORLD CHAMPION GIVES IN TO THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH HEART AND SOUL LEFT IN THE DEFENDING CHAMPION AS HE NOW BEGINS TO RESIST AND FIGHT OUT OF THE BOSTON CRAB!!! BUT IMPACT USES HIS OTHER FOOT TO KICK AWAY AT HIS RIBS! SMITH STARTS TO LOSE THE FIGHT WITHIN HIM AS IMPACT NOW SITS BACK IN AND GETS THE FULL EXTENSION OF THE BOSTON CRAB!
Gavin Kirkland: THE BACK IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STRETCHED LIKE THAT.. AS NOW WE COULD BE MOMENTS AWAY FROM SMITH TAPPING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN AWAY.. BUT CHRIS ELITE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND DRIVES THE SOLE OF HIS BOOT RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF IMPACT’S HEAD! IMPACT DID NOT CHECK HIS BLINDSPOTS! NO EYES IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! AND HE HAD NO IDEA THAT ELITE WAS GOING TO FRACTURE HIS SKULL! AND NOW IMPACT IS RESTING UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE WHEREAS SMITH IS USING THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Deadprez: ELITE IMMEDIATELY CHARGES TOWARDS SMITH! SMITH WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED SHOOT KICK.. FOLLOWED BY A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI.. NO! ELITE DUCKED UNDER THE KICK AND WRAPS AROUND HIS WAIST!! ELITE TRIES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX.. BUT ELITE HOLDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE TO PREVENT FEELING THE BUMP OF THAT GERMAN SUPLEX.. ELITE IS ABLE TO SMACK HIS LEFT HAND AWAY FROM THE TOP ROPE..
Eve: Chris Elite focusing on breaking his grip from the ropes gave Smith the opportunity to break free of the waist hold, steps forward, and CATCHES ELITE BY SURPRISE WITH A JUMPING GAMENGIRI KICK ON THE BUTTON! Elite is swaying side to side and back and forth whereas Impact steps in and issues a discus forearm smash that staggers the world champion. Impact turns around and bumps right into Elite!
Gavin Kirkland: ELITE INSTINCTIVELY FLIPS BACKWARDS AND KICKS IN THE CROWN OF IMPACT’S HEAD WITH A PELE KICK! HEAD SHOT! IMPACT IS SAT DOWN AS ELITE IMMEDIATELY GETS UP TO HIS FEET.. HE SPREADS HIS ARMS BEFORE ELEVATING THEM UPWARDS AND SIGNALLING FOR SOMETHING RIGHT HERE…
Deadprez: You could see everyone getting up to their feet as they know Elite is about to pull off something here! Chris Elite sprints towards the ropes, flips forward and handsprings off of them! AND BOTH IMPACT AND SMITH FLEE AS ELITE LANDS ON HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: AND SMITH QUICKLY KICKS ELITE IN THE MIDSECTION AND SNATCHES HIS HEAD! HE SEES IMPACT COMING IN FROM THE SIDE AND KICKS UP OFF OF HIM.. AND DRILLS ELITE ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A TORNADO DDT! Jake Smith immediately springs up to his feet and runs the ropes..
Deadprez: SO LONG.. AND GOOOOOOOODDDNIGHT-
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT SPRINGS UP FROM OUT OF NOWHERE.. AND CATCHES THE CHAMPION FROM A DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE! JAKE GETS FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDION AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Eve: Jake Smith was on the precipice on nailing Chris Elite with his signature knee strike. Impact turns his undivided attention onto Elite and scoops him up for the michinoku driver! IMPACT LOOKS TO GIVE HIM HIS ABSOLUTION HERE.. BUT ELITE REVERSES THE MICHINOKU DRIVER ATTEMPT INTO A STUNNER! STUNDOG MILLIONAIRE AS NOW ELITE QUICKLY SHUFFLES UP TO A VERTICAL BASE AND RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES.. IMPACT FOLLOWS HIM INTO THE ROPES AND KICKS THE BACK OF HIS LEG LEG.. Elite is hanging from the second rope as he gets clocked in the back of the head with another kick from Impact!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact looks to the side and immediately hops onto the second rope.. and LOOKS TO DELIVER THE FLIGHT SIGHTS SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO THE HANGING CHRIS ELITE… Chris Elite pulls out and gets out of the way; leaving Impact to sustain a crash landing onto the canvas. Elite quickly slingshots over the top rope and drills the former ten time world champion with a slingshot DDT! Elite crawls over for the cover, but Smith grabs him by the legs and pulls him out of the ring… and SMITH CHUCKS HIM INTO THE SIDE OF THE CELL.. Smith being the ultimate opportunist that he has been known for hops onto the apron… and Smith sees Impact slowly getting up to a vertical base. He hooks him from behind into the reverse frontface and HAS HIM IN POSITION FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER!
Eve: SMITH GOES FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER–BUT IMPACT DROPS DOWN, ROLLS HIM UP INTO A WHEELBARROW, GETS UP TO HIS FEET, TWISTS BOTH LEGS AND STEPS IN FOR THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! IMPACT HAS THE DOUBLE LEG BOSTON CRAB CINCHED IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING.. BUT SMITH KNOWS THE WALLS OF IMPACT..
Deadprez: AND HE NOW TWISTS INWARDS AND GRABS IMPACT FROM BELOW.. What is the world champion thinking here? Smith looks to be about to roll him up into the inside cradle, but he doesn’t pin both shoulders down and INSTEAD TRANSITIONS HIM INTO THE ANACONDA VICE! HE REVERSED THE WALLS OF IMPACT INTO THE 505 ANACONDA VICE AS IT IS NOW CINCHED IN!
Gavin Kirkland: WHERE IS CHRIS ELITE TO BREAK THIS UP!?!? IMPACT IS WAVING HIS ARMS, TRYING TO LOOK FOR AN OPENING TO BREAK FREE OF THE 505.. BUT SMITH HAS IT IN TIGHT…. HOWEVER, IMPACT BEGINS TO POWER OUT OF IT.. WE ARE SEEING A REPEAT OF THEIR LAST MATCH AS IMPACT IS MUSTERING THE COURAGE TO POWER THROUGH THE ANACONDA VICE.. HE GETS UP OFF THE OTHER KNEE AND IS NOW ON A VERTICAL BASE.. AND SMITH CONTINUES TO LOCK IN THE ANACONDA VICE IN A STANDING POSITION..
Eve: IMPACT USES THE MOMENTUM TO PUSH HIM BACKWARDS AND DRIVES HIS LOWER BACK ONTO THE TOP OF HIS KNEE.. SMITH LETS GO OF THE ANACONDA VICE AND IMPACT GRABS HIS HEAD FOR THE INVERTED STO INTO THE TURNBUCKLES.. WE SAW THIS LAST TIME.. AND IMPACT DRIVES HIM INTO THE TURNBUC–NO!! SMITH REMEMBERS AND GOES AROUND THE WAIST.. AND THE CHAMPION LAUNCHES THE CHALLENGER BACK OF THE HEAD FIRST INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Impact clutches his head in pain after colliding into the corner turnbuckles.. and now Smith thinks of his next move.. and CHRIS ELITE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND CHARGES FULL SPEED AHEAD INTO THE WORLD CHAMPION! SMITH POWERS UP HIS LEFT ARM AND GOES FOR A LARIAT–
Gavin Kirkland: SMITH WAS TOO SLOW.. AND ELITE WITH AN ALMIGHTY POUNCE AS HE POWERS THROUGH THE WORLD CHAMPION AND SENDS HIM CRASHING RIGHT INTO IMPACT IN THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES…
Eve: Chris Elite just pounced the world champion into the corner turnbuckles into Impact.. and now Elite grabs Smith and hoists him up from behind. He places him on the top turnbuckle and lowers him into a tree-of-woe position. What is the challenger thinking here? Elite is suspended upside down, with the back of his head overlapping Impact; who is slumped up against the top turnbuckles yet to regain full consciousness after that damning German suplex into the corner turnbuckles.
Deadprez: AND CHRIS ELITE COMES RUNNING IN FROM THE OPPOSITE CORNER.. AND DELIVERS THE DOUBLE KNEES INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES TO BOTH OPPONENTS! IT KNOCKS ELITE OFF THE TREE-OF-WOE AND REELING OUT OF THE RING.. AND NOW ELITE LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AS HE SEES IMPACT ROLLING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING.. IMPACT HAS INADVERTENTLY ROLLED INTO THE PERFECT POSITION FOR ELITE.. ELITE WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE AS HE NOW CLIMBS ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE…
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE CHALLENGER IS PERCHED.. AND CHRIS ELITE SOARS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO DELIVER A MARVELOUS 450 SPLASH TO IMPACT!!!
Deadprez: Impact rolls out of the way and Elite lands and rolls onto his feet.. and Elite speeds ahead into the direction of Impact.. and Impact meets him halfway and scoops him up into the air… and DRILLS HIS SKULL INTO THE CANVAS WITH THE MICHINOKU DRIVER! THE ABSOLUTION CONNECTS AS IMPACT SITS IN AND HOOKS THE LEG TO BE CROWNED AS AN ELEVEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: CHRIS ELITE POWERS OUT AT TWO! Impact keeps himself composed as he knew that wouldn’t have been enough to put away his fellow EAW Hall of Famer. Impact emerges to his feet whereas Elite is still laid out in the middle of the ring.. and IMPACT NOW JUMPS ON AND OFF OF THE SECOND ROPE.. TO DELIVER THE FLIGHT SIGHTS MOONSAULT TO CHRIS ELITE…
**POW**
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH SMASHES A TRASH CAN INTO THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGER.. AND IMPACT LOSES BALANCE AND TUMBLES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SPLATTERS ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR BELOW! Smith with a smile on his face as he now repeatedly drives the trash can into Impact! Impact is trying to block the impact, but the trash can is dealing some serious damage! and now Impact grabs the same trash can and places it onto Impact!
Eve: IMPACT’S ENTIRE VISION IS BLOCKED AS HIS HEAD IS COVERED BY THE TRASH CAN! AND NOW SMITH REPEATEDLY STOMPS HIS FOOT INTO THE TRASH CAN.. YOU CAN SEE THE DENTS GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER AS SMITH IS MAKING SURE IMPACT IS NO LONGER A THREAT IN THIS MATCH… PERHAPS, EVEN A THREAT IN THE LONG TERM! SMITH STOPS STOMPING AND SEES IMPACT FALL TO THE SIDE… THIS IS A SERIOUS JAKE SMITH WE ARE SEEING AS HE NOW GRABS THE STEEL STEPS..
Deadprez: The defending world champion gets a hold of the steel steps and slides it under the bottom rope.. before CHRIS ELITE SLIDES AND DROPKICKS THE STEEL STEPS.. AND SMITH UNEXPECTEDLY EATS THE FRONT OF THE STEEL STEPS TO HIS FACE! SMITH GRABS HIS JAW IN PAIN.. ELITE WITH A JAW-SHATTERING GAMECHANGER RIGHT THERE AS HE GRABS SMITH’S HAIR THROUGH THE ROPES AND PULLS HIM ONTO THE APRON. Chris Elite steps onto the second rope and hooks the arm of Jake Smith. Is he going for a deadlift vertical suplex from the apron into the ring?!?!
Eve: Whatever Chris Elite had in plan is stopped as Smith pulls down and drives his neck into the top rope! Smith now grabs him and pulls him through the ropes and onto the apron. He kicks the midsection and hooks the arms… and Smith looks to connect with the snap swinging neckbreaker off the apron… BROKEN WINGS INCOMING.. BUT ELITE GETS OUT OF HIS GRASP! AND BEGINS TO PEPPER HIM WITH REPEATED ROUNDHOUSE KICKS TO THE CHEST! Smith now sits on the second rope, clutching his lower chest that has taken quite a beating from the roundhouse kicks…
Deadprez: Chris Elite hooks the arm and looks to be going for the FACE VALUE HAMMERLOCK DDT ONTO THE APRON… but Jake Smith has the wherewithal to thrust him right into the ringpost! Elite lets go of the hammerlock hold and drops to a knee on the apron. Jake Smith now puts him back in the position for the Broken Wings.. but it doesn’t take long for Elite to break free of the hold and issues an open-hand chop to the world champion! Smith grabs his mouth in pain–appearing absolutely disrespected by this display from the Hall of Famer.. and SMITH IMMEDIATELY MARCHES TOWARDS ELITE IN ANGER ON THE APRON-
Eve: IMPACT SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE.. AND DELIVERS HIS VINTAGE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO JAKE SMITH ONTO THE APRO-
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH DUCKED UNDER AND ELITE GETS TAKEN OUT WITH THE DROPKICK INSTEAD! AND NOW SMITH GOES THROUGH THE ROPES AND SHOULDER THRUSTS IMPACT.. AND NOW SMITH SLINGSHOTS OVER THE TOP ROPE, OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND BACK.. SMITH LOOKS TO ROLL HIM UP INTO THE SUNSET FLIP.. BUT IMPACT ROLLS BACKWARDS AND TRANSITIONS THE SUNSET FLIP INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT..
Gavin Kirkland: THE HALL OF FAMER WANTS THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. BUT JAKE SMITH DESPERATELY HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES TO PREVENT FROM THAT HAPPENING.. MEANWHILE CHRIS ELITE IS STARTING TO RECOLLECT HIMSELF AND CLIMBS BACK ONTO THE APRON.. IMPACT CONTINUES TO DO HIS BEST IN HIS EFFORT TO YANK AND DETACH THE WORLD CHAMPION FROM THE ROPES.. BUT SMITH IS CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE..
Deadprez: CHRIS ELITE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE… AND DESCENDS ONTO THE HANGING JAKE SMITH WITH A 450 SPLASH!! THAT IS ONE WAY TO DETACH HIM FROM THE ROPES AS IMPACT NOW IMMEDIATELY GRABS CHRIS ELITE… AND HE LOOKS TO THROW HIM OUT OF THE RING SO HE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DOWNED WORLD CHAMPION…
Eve: …AND IMPACT CHUCKS CHRIS ELITE OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE?!?! ELITE REBOUNDS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE BACK OF HIS NECK.. AND IMPACT IS FROZEN WITH SHOCK AS HE ELITE REBOUNDS TOWARDS HIM AND.. OPEN YA MATA!! OPEN YA MATA!! THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE FLOORS IMPACT AS CHRIS ELITE NOW WASTES NO TIME AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: AND CHRIS ELITE… DESCENDS ONTO IMPACT AND CONNECTS WITH AN AWE-INSPIRING SHOOTING STAR PRESS… AND HE CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COVE-
Deadprez: SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT! JAKE SMITH SHATTERS THE JAW OF ELITE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE..
Eve: AND SMITH IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AS HE PICKS CHRIS ELITE BACK UP.. AND HE HOOKS THE ARM AND THE LEG.. AND HE SWINGS HIM DOWN AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH AUTHORITY WITH THE BROKEN WINGS… THE KNEE FOLLOWED BY THE SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER AS SMITH MAY BE SECONDS AWAY FROM RETAINING THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
T-
Eve: IMPACT LEAPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE.. AND HE BREAKS UP THE COVER AND FLATTENS BOTH JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE WITH THE FLIGHT SIGHTS MOONSAULT! ..and Impact is about to fall into the cover.. but he elects on grappling all four legs!
Deadprez: Impact has both legs of Jake Smith and Chris Elite snatched.. **AND HE TURNS OVER AND APPLIES THE WALLS OF IMPACT TO BOTH COMPETITORS!**
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT HAS PUT UP TWO WALLS OF IMPACT HERE AS SMITH AND ELITE ARE STACKED ONTO EACH OTHER, FEELING THE AGONY OF THE BOSTON CRAB! IMPACT ISN’T EXACTLY ABLE TO GET THE FULL EXTENSION OF THE BOSTON CRAB, BUT HE IS STILL DEALING SOME DAMAGE.. AND IMAGINE HOW HUMILIATING IT WOULD BE FOR BOTH MEN TO LOSE THIS MATCH LIKE THIS.. AND IMAGINE HOW DOMINANT IT WOULD LOOK FOR IMPACT TO WIN IT LIKE THIS AS WELL!
Deadprez: IMPACT STARTS TO BECOME EXHAUSTED DOING TWO WALLS OF IMPACT SIMULTANEOUSLY.. AND IMPACT STARTS TO LOSE HIS FULL CONTROL OF ALL FOUR LEGS!! AND CHRIS ELITE IS ABLE TO ROLL UNDER FROM BENEATH JAKE SMITH AND GETS BOTH OF HIS LEGS UP.. and ELITE THRUSTS IMPACT AND IMPACT LOSES FULL CONTROL OF THE BOSTON CRABS AND FACE PLANTS THE CANVAS!
Eve: All three men are down and out in the ring… What an evenly-matched triple threat match this has been inside the Hell in a Cell as he now… Impact is unsurprisingly the first one to get up to his feet whereas Smith and Elite are halfway up! This is a matter of who strikes first and who makes the biggest mistake in this exchange.. and it seems like it is the world champion who has made that mistake of standing right in between Chris Elite and Impact! It takes a while for it to click in Jake Smith and realise that he has found himself in a precarious position. He has been caught in the middle of a man who believes he should be the one to dethrone him and the one who believes he has yet to prove himself as a legitimate replacement.. and now Smith begins to get bullied around with strikes from both competitors!
Deadprez: Impact with a punch to Jake.. Elite with a punch to Jake! Impact! Elite! Impact! Elite! Impact Elite! Jake Smith is taking quite a beating until he blocks the punch of Impact.. and he DELIVERS A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO IMPACT! AND A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO ELITE! ANOTHER ONE TO IMPACT! AND ANOTHER ONE TO ELITE! AND ANOTHER ONE TO IMPACT! AND ANOTHER ONE TO ELITE! AND HE GOES FOR ANOTHER TO IMPACT-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO THE CHAMPION.. AND NOW IMPACT ISSUES A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO ELITE! AND ANOTHER CHOP TO SMITH.. AND ANOTHER ONE TO ELITE!! AND ANOTHER ONE TO SMITH… AND ANOTHER ONE TO ELIT- NO! ELITE PLASTERS HIM WITH TWO PUNCHES.. AND THEN A SHOOT KICK RIGHT TO THE JAW.. AND HE SPINS AROUND FOR A BACKFIST..
Deadprez: IMPACT DUCKS UNDER IT AND JAKE SMITH EATS THE BACKFIST! AND IMPACT WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO ELITE.. ELITE BLOCKS HIS HAND AND DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE JAW.. MEANWHILE, SMITH REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND BLASTS ELITE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A BICYCLE KICK.. AND IMPACT WITH A HEADBUTT TO SMITH.. SMITH DROPS DOWN TO BOTH KNEES WHILE ELITE REBOUNDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE.. AND HE DARTS INTO IMPACT! IMPACT GOES AROUND HIS WAIST AND GOES FOR A HALF AND HALF SUPLE-
Eve: CHRIS ELITE FLIPS ONTO HIS FEET!! BUT SMITH IMMEDIATELY GRABS HIS WAIST AND DROPS HIM OVER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! BUT ELITE LANDS ON HIS FEET ONCE AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT SPINS FORWARD AND STUNS HIM WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! ELITE IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS IMPACT NOW GETS UP TO HIS FEET.. AND IMPACT GRABS AHOLD OF ELITE WHEREAS SMITH IS CREEPING UP FROM BEHIND.. ELITE JUMPS UP AND GOES FOR A JUMPING GAMENGIRI KICK.. IMPACT DUCKS IT AND JAKE EATS IT!! JAKE REELS INTO THE CORNER WHILE IMPACT GRABS THE LEGS OF ELITE.. ELITE ROTATES HIS HIPS AND THRUSTS HIM OVER ONTO HIS BACK!
Deadprez: IMPACT ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! AND ELITE GRABS JAKE AND PLACES HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS.. AND HE IS GOING FOR THE LAWN DART HERE!! AND HE CALLS THIS THE 44 BULLDOG–BUT JAKE DROPS DOWN AND HAS HIM IN THE ROLLING CUTTER POSITION!! PROPHETTTTII–
Gavin Kirkland: NO!! ELITE GETS HIS KNEE UP AND DRIVES IT INTO THE FACE OF SMITH TO GET OUT OF THAT HAZARDOUS POSITION.. AND NOW ELITE GRABS HIM IN THE REVERSE FRONTFACE.. AND THE HALL OF FAMER GOES FOR THE MOOD SWINGS! THE FRONT FLIP SNAPMARE DRIVER!
Eve: NO! RIGHT AS ELITE FLIPPED OVER FOR THE SNAPMARE DRIVER, SMITH REVERSED IT BACK INTO WHERE HE NOW HAS THE REVERSE FRONT FACE LOCK APPLIED.. AND HE SPIKES ELITE WITH THE ROLLING CUTTER.. PROPHETIC CONNECTS AS SMITH HOOKS BOTH LEGS.. SMITH IS ON THE VERGE OF RETAINING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THRE-
Deadprez: IMPACT SLIDES IN THE STEEL STEPS FROM EARLIER AND PUSHES IT INTO BOTH MEN TO BREAK UP THE COVER! THERE IT IS THE HIGH IN RING AWARENESS OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION.. IMPACT BEING RESOURCEFUL HERE AS HE IS NOW SET ON USING THAT STEEL STEPS THAT JAKE SMITH INTRODUCED EARLIER.. IMPACT WIPES THE SWEAT FROM HIS EYES AND PULLS JAKE SMITH ON TOP OF THE STEEL STEPS WITH HIM…
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT HAS HIS HEAD IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS.. AND HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR THE GUNSMOKE SPIKE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE STEEL STEP-
Eve: JAKE SMITH HOISTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!! AND HE DRIVES THE CHALLENGER INTO THE STEEL STEPS WITH AN AIR RAID CRASH!!
Gavin Kirkland: AN OVER-THE-SHOULDER BACK-TO-BELLY PILEDRIVER ONTO THE UNFORGIVING STEEL STEPS AS THAT THUD COULD HAVE BEEN HEARD ALL AROUND THE WORLD!! IMPACT DEFINITELY REGRETTING INTRODUCING THE STEEL STEPS INTO THIS MATCH AS SMITH TOOK SOMEWHAT OF THAT IMPACT ONTO THAT STEEL STEPS AND IS NOT GOING FOR THE COVER!
Deadprez: The defending world champion favours his lower back while he uses the ropes to get up to a vertical base. Interesting enough; he still is not going for the cover. He sees Chris Elite emerging in the centre of the ring just beside the steel steps and stomps him back down to the ground. Elite is now laid out on the canvas as Smith focuses his attention onto Impact. Smith wants to get rid of Impact. He wants him out of his life.. and Impact is still sprawled on top of those steel steps.. still rendered subconsciously as a result of that devastating air raid crash onto the steel steps..
Gavin Kirkland: ..and it seems like Jake Smith is signalling for the end right here… Smith stands back onto the steel steps and brings Impact up with him. He pulls him up and holds him up by the jaw… if Smith is able to connect with whatever he is thinking right it could be game over for Impact!
Deadprez: AND JAKE SMITH JUMPS UP TO CONNECT WITH THE CUTTER ONTO THE STEEL STEPS-
Eve: BUT IMPACT CATCHES HIM AND TIES HIM UP IN THE COBRA CLUTCH!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE WORLD CHAMPION WENT FOR THE STARMAKER ONTO THE STEEL STEPS.. BUT IMPACT SAVES HIMSELF FROM MEETING THE END OF THIS MATCH AS HE HAS THE CHAMPION ALL TANGLED UP IN THE COBRA CLUTCH! THE MILLENIAL INCARCERATION AS SMITH COULD SUBMIT AND CONCEDE THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE MAN HE TOOK IT FROM BACK IN DECEMBER! SMITH IS REACHING OUT, KNOWING THAT HE HAS NO ROPE BREAK, BUT HE HAS TO FIGHT OUT OF IT!
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH IS STARTING TO FADE… AND HE IS NO LONGER WAVING HIS ARMS AND TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT.. AND WE ARE SECONDS AWAY FROM CHANGING HISTORY HERE IN DENVER, COLORADO!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SMITH ABRUPTLY PICKS IMPACT ONTO HIS BACK…. IMPACT STILL HAS THE COBRA CLUTCH CINCHED IN, BUT HE IS LATCHED ONTO HIS SHOULDERS LIKE A BACKPACK..
Eve: Jake Smith sees Chris Elite below them while he carries Impact on the steel steps on his back..
**SPLASH!**
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE STEPS OFF AND DESCENDS ONTO CHRIS ELITE WITH A SENTON WITH IMPACT ON HIS BACK!! OH MY GOODNESS!
Deadprez: WITH IMPACT LATCHED ONTO HIS BACK, SMITH JUMPED OFF THE STEEL STEPS AND PLUMMETED DOWN ONTO CHRIS ELITE BELOW WITH A SENTON SPLASH…
Eve: AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL CRASH FOR CHRIS ELITE AND WHAT A WAY FOR THE WORLD CHAMPION TO ESCAPE THE CLAWS OF IMPACT’S COBRA CLUTCH! AND SMITH CONTINUES TO FAVOUR HIS LOWER BACK AS HE QUICKLY GETS UP TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith has no intentions on taking advantage of this current situation with a pinfall.. Instead, he slides under from beneath the bottom rope and pulls up the apron sheets. The Denver crowd pops as they know they are about to see the defending world champion introduce new weapons into this war.. Impact is just a couple of inches away from him as he pulls out a couple of kendo sticks and throws them out from under the ring.
Deadprez:: Jake Smith then pulls out a SUSPICIOUS LOOKING POUCH and places it under the turnbuckle… JAKE SMITH THEN PULLS OUT A TABLE AND SETS IT UP AT RINGSIDE!
Eve: Jake Smith has propped up a table horizontally at ringside as he now climbs onto the apron and pulls Impact through the ropes to accompany him. Impact might have already been decommissioned with that piledriver onto the steel steps as Smith looks to inflict more damage.
Gavin Kirkland: Smith grabs the arm and gestures for the BROKEN WINGS OFF THE APRON AND INTO THE TABLE… BUT IMPACT DESPERATELY DROPS TO ONE KNEE AND HOLDS ONTO HIS RIGHT KNEE!! SMITH HAS DIFFICULTY PULLING HIM UP AS HE NOW DRIVES HIS ELBOW REPEATEDLY ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Deadprez: Jake Smith momentarily gets him off his leg, grabs his head, and forcibly smashes it against his kneecap! Smith now hooks both arms and goes for the BROKEN WINGS! BUT IMPACT BREAKS OUT OF HIS HOLD!! AND SENDS AN OPEN-HANDED CHOP TO THE FACE.. AND ANOTHER ONE.. AND ANOTHER ONE.. AND ANOTHER ONE.. AND A BACKHANDED ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE!! THE HALL OF FAMER IS SLAPPING AROUND THE DEFENDING CHAMPION.. AND SMITH IS DOWNED TO A KNEE! AND THIS LEAVES HIM VULNERABLE AS IMPACT NOW REPEATEDLY STOMPS DOWN ONTO HIS FACE! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THESE TWO ELITISTS!
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT HAS THE WORLD CHAMPION STAGGERED FOR NOW.. AND HE USES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY AS HE PLACES HIS HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS.. AND HE LIFTS HIM UP.. AND HE JUMPS OFF THE APRON..
Eve: AND DRIVES THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION HEAD FIRST INTO THE TABLE WITH A **JUMPING SPIKE PILEDRIVER!** BOTH MEN BREAK THE TABLE IN HALF–BUT JAKE SMITH MUST BE DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT AS HIS SKULL WENT RIGHT INTO THE WOOD TABLE!
Deadprez: Impact gingerly makes his way out of the table debris and tries his best to get all of the dead weight of the world champion back into the ring! He is able to muster the strength to slide Jake Smith back into the squared circle as he now rolls back in and sits in the corner. The former world champion is stalking Smith as he is barely able to get up to his feet! Impact rebounds off the ropes and shoots towards the world champion…
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT FINISHES OFF THE WORLD CHAMPION WITH THE EVISCERATION!
Eve: BUT JAKE SMITH GRABS BOTH OF HIS LEGS AND DROPS HIM DOWN.. AND HE ROLLS OVER HIM AND HAS HIM IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION!!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS POSITION.. BUT SMITH RELEASES HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND GOES FOR THE GTS!! THE GTS!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT HOOKS THE LEG IN MID-AIR AND SNATCHES HIM DOWN INTO A SCHOOL-BOY COVER!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: IMPACT POWERS OUT! However, Jake Smith instantly snatched the arm that he was using for the school-boy pin and trapped it between his legs.. AND HE CINCHES IN THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!! THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS IS LOCKED IN… JAKE SMITH ALMOST PUT HIM AWAY WITH THIS AT KING OF ELITE; AND WE COULD BE SECONDS AWAY FROM SEEING THE REALITY OF THE HALL OF FAMER TAPPING COME INTO FRUITION!!
Eve: IMPACT IS ABLE TO SOMEHOW SCRATCH AND CLAW HIS WAY CLOSER TOWARDS THE ROPES.. BUT THAT WON’T HELP AS THERE IS NO ROPE BREAK.. IMPACT KNOWS THAT; BUT GETTING A HOLD OF THE ROPES IS BETTER THAN BEING A SITTING DUCK! AND IMPACT IS CLOSING IN TOWARDS THE ROPES.. BUT SMITH BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY CLUB HIS FACE WITH THE INSIDES OF HIS FOREARMS.. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.. AND THESE CLUBBING BLOWS BREAK HIS SPIRIT AS SMITH GOES BACK TO FULLY EXTENDING THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF FADING AS HE NOW STROKES HIS ARM FORWARD AND REACHES FOR THE ROPES!! AND HE IS FINGERTIPS AWAY.. BUT NOW JAKE KICKS BACK OFF THE SECOND ROPE, ROLLS BACKWARDS, AND PUTS HIM BACK INTO THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE–THIS TIME IT IS BEING APPLIED SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!! IMPACT WAS FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM BREAKING FREE OF THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS–BUT SMITH DRAGGED HIM BACK INTO THE MIDDLE AND HE HAS NOWHERE TO ESCAPE!
(Jake Smith sees one of the kendo sticks he threw into the ring and gradually grabs a hold of it with the intent of enhancing his omoplata crossface. )
Deadprez: OH NO! THE KENDO STICK! IF SMITH USES THAT AND PRESSES IT UP AGAINST IMPACT’S FACE IN THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!! THAT COULD SPELL THE END FOR HI-
(Chris Elite grabs the kendo stick at the same time. Smith looks up and cranks an awkward smile.)
Deadprez: SMITH QUICKLY LETS GO OF IMPACT TO RETRIEVE THE KENDO STICK.. BUT ELITE GRABBED IT FIRST AND IMMEDIATELY GOES TO TOWN ONTO THE WORLD CHAMPION!
Eve: SMITH DEPOSITS THE SINGAPOREAN CANE, SLAPPING IT DOWN ONTO HIS FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER AS HE IS SHOWING NO REMORSE! ELITE HAS FINALLY REINTRODUCED HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS MATCH AFTER BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF THAT GROUNDBREAKING SENTON THAT WEIGHED ALMOST 400 POUNDS..
Deadprez: SMITH COULDN’T STAND THE PAIN INFLICTED FROM THESE KENDO STICK SHOTS.. AS HE EVENTUALLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO GET AWAY FROM THEM.. BUT CHRIS ELITE FOLLOWS CLOSELY FROM BEHIND.. AND SMITH TURNS AROUND.. AND HE IS BACKED UP AGAINST THE CELL AS ELITE HAS HIM TRAPPED.. AND ELITE REPEATEDLY SMASHES THE KENDO STICK AGAINST HIS CHEST… IF THE CHOPS FROM IMPACT WEREN’T GOING TO DO THE JOB.. THEN THESE KENDO STICKS ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE THE WELTS FORM ON THE WORLD CHAMPION ANYTIME NOW!!
Gavin Kirkland: Chris Elite continues to chop the world champion down with these shots before the kendo stick breaks in half! You can see all of the welts, bruises, and lashles as a result of the kendo stick! Jake Smith sits up against the cell wall, perhaps out of commission for the remainder of this match, but Chris Elite wants to do more for his former tag team partner! Chris Elite gets a hold of two more kendo sticks and wedges them in the corner of Hell in a Cell!
Eve: Chris Elite is using two kendo sticks to essentially trap Jake Smith in the corner of the cell! His arms are trapped and he has nowhere to go! Smith regains consciousness and comes to a realisation in the situation that he is in! He tries to break free of the trap, but his efforts are to no avail.. and ELITE GRABS A KENDO STICK.. AND HE POKES THE TIP OF THE KENDO STICK RIGHT INTO HIS MIDSECTION.. AND JAKE SMITH SCREAMS IN PAIN AS THE CHALLENGER IS BURNING THE TIP OF THE KENDO STICK RIGHT INTO HIS FLESH.. AS IF THE EARLIER SHOTS WERE NOT DAMAGING ENOUGH… AND ELITE BLASTS THE KENDO STICK AGAINST THE AFOREMENTIONED MIDSECTION AS AN INSULT TO INJURY!
Deadprez: AND CHRIS ELITE NOW PRESSES THE TIP OF THE KENDO STICK RIGHT INTO HIS HEAD! AND SMITH SCREAMS IN PAIN!! AND HE CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF! AND ELITE DROPS THE KENDO STICK AND SETS HIS SIGHTS ON THE STEEL STEPS IN THE CORNER. Elite detaches the steel steps from the ringpost and slides it towards him. What is this man thinking here?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith’s eyes pop out of his sockets to the sight of CHRIS ELITE LIFTING THE STEEL STEPS OVER HIS HEAD!! OH MY GOODNESS.. THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL.. ELITE CARRIES THE STEEL STEPS OVER HIS HEAD AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TOWARDS JAKE SMITH!! JAKE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH.. HE IS RENDERED IMMOBILE FROM THE MAKESHIFT KENDO STICK TRAP….
Deadprez: AND CHRIS ELITE DRIVES THE STEEL STEPS INTO THE FACE OF JAKE SMITH IN THE CORNE-
Eve: IMPACT WITH A WRECKING BALL DROPKICK TO CHRIS ELITE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! CHRIS ELITE DROPS THE STEEL STEPS AS THE DROPKICK DRIVES HIM INTO THE SIDE OF THE HELL IN A CELL!!
Deadprez: AND NOW IMPACT THROWS CHRIS ELITE BACK INTO THE SQUARED CIRCLE.. MEANWHILE, JAKE IS STILL STUCK IN THE CORNER OF THE CELL.. AND NOW IMPACT IS IN A CROUCHED POSITION.. IMPATIENTLY WAITING FOR CHRIS ELITE TO MAKE IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET.
Gavin Kirkland: Chris Elite is back to a vertical base… and he turns around… and IMPACT HITS THE EVISCERATION!! IMPACT CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: DING! DING! DING!
Deadprez: CHRIS ELITE POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!! IMPACT CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! AND THE LOOK ON JAKE SMITH’S FACE SAYS IT ALL!! JAKE SMITH IS STILL TRAPPED; BUT HE IS ABSOLUTELY RELIEVED THAT CHRIS ELITE WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT AND THAT HE WASN’T JUST ABOUT TO WATCH HIS CHAMPIONSHIP GET TAKEN FROM HIM!
Eve: AND IMPACT IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET.. JAKE SMITH IS STARTING TO PUT HIS FOOT DOWN IN BREAKING FREE OF THIS TRAP.. AND IMPACT REALISES THAT AND TRIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SECOND THAT EXCLUDES THE WORLD CHAMPION.. AND NOW IMPACT IS TOO IMPATIENT TO WAIT FOR ELITE TO GET UP TO HIS FEET…
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT PICKS CHRIS ELITE UP TO HIS FEE-
Deadprez: BOX! OFFICE! SMAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Eve: CHRIS ELITE FALLS INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT KICKS OUT A TWO!! CHRIS ELITE IS TOO EXHAUSTED TO GIVE A REACTION AS HE JUST GINGERLY ROLLS AWAY AND GETS IN THE CORNER!!!! AND IMPACT IS SOMEWHAT CONSCIOUSNESS.. HE’S GOT ONE EYE OPEN.. TRYING TO GATHER HIMSELF AND MUSTER THE STRENGTH TO GET UP TO HIS FEET… ELITE IS GINGERLY USING THE TURNBUCKLES TO GET UP TO HIS FEET AS HE HAS IMPACT IN SIGHTS FOR ANOTHER BOX OFFICE SMASH!
Eve: Impact is just inviting himself to be hit with the superkick as he is making no effort in getting out of the way.. Impact springs up to his feet… and ELITE GOES FOR A SECOND BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JAKE SMITH GRABS HIS LEGS FROM RINGSIDE.. AND HE PULLS HIM TOWARDS THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES AND ELITE GETS HIS MALE GENITALS SMASHED RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST!! ELITE JUST GOT HIS JINGLE BELLED AS SMITH NOW SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND SEES IMPACT STILL STAGGERED…
Deadprez: AND JAKE SMITH LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND DRIVES IMPACT DOWN WITH THE STARMAKER CUTTTERRRRR!!!
Eve: IMPACT COUNTERS IT AND DRIVES HIM ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX…..
Gavin Kirkland: ….
Eve: AND JAKE SMITH IMMEDIATELY SPRINGS UP TO HIS FEET.. HE COCKS HIS FIST, SCREAMS AND IMMEDIATELY GOES GUN-BLAZING BACK INTO IMPACT’S DIRECTION!!
Deadprez: AND HE DECAPITATES THE CHALLENGER WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM SOUTH OF HEAVEN! AND JAKE SMITH GINGERLY CRAWLS TOWARDS THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES WHILE IMPACT IS SNOOZING OFF AS A RESULT OF THAT LARIAT…
( Jake Smith grabs the mysterious pouch that he introduced earlier in this match. He picks it up and unravels it to deposit the contents. )
Deadprez: OH NO….
Eve: IT CAN’T BE…
Gavin Kirkland: YAY!! LEGO BLOCKS! YAY! YAYYYYY!!
Deadprez: Jake Smith just dropped an unhealthy amount of lego blocks all over the canvas! Jake Smith with a bright smile written all over his face. He isn’t the only ecstatic person in this room for those legos as Gavin Kirkland is jumping up and down to the sight of them!
Gavin Kirkland: I! LOVE! LEGOS! PERSONALLY, THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE HOBBY! I LOVE TO BUILD EM! EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!! YEAHHH!!
Eve: Gavin Kirkland isn’t the only person excited because everyone here in Denver, Colorado can’t wait to see what the world champion has in mind for those legos. Impact is barely able to get up to his feet, but it doesn’t take long for him to drop down to one knee. Smith circles him and now rebounds off the ropes. Impact gets to a full vertical base…
Gavin Kirkland: AND JAKE SMITH LOOKS TO DRIVE HIM INTO THE PILE OF LEGOS WITH THE STARMAKER CUTTER!
Deadprez: BUT IMPACT LETS GO OF SMITH!!
**CRASH!!**
Eve: AND JAKE SMITH CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE PILE OF LEGOS..
Gavin Kirkland: SMITH LETS OUT A HUGE SCREAM AS HE GETS UP.. AND THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON THE LEGOS STUCK TO HIS FLESH.. AND NOW IMPACT GRABS HIS HAND AND PULLS HIM AWAY FROM THE LEGO AND TOWARDS HIM…
Deadprez: EVISCERATION!!! IMPACT DROPS DOWN AND GETS THE LEG HOOKED!! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JAKE SMITH KICKS OUT! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! Impact swore that he was three seconds away from becoming an eleven time world champion! He was almost about to make history and break his own record, but Smith stays alive in this match after being dropped onto the pile of legos and dealing the infamous EVISCERATION! Impact gets up to his feet and thinks about his next move.
( The sounds of clinks get louder as Impact reaches out from beneath the apron. He pulls out steel chains, maniacally staring at it and bringing it into the ring with him. )
Deadprez: Impact has steel chains and drags it into the squared circle with him. Jake Smith is right beneath the bottom rope, hung face down as Impact stalks him from behind.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact reaches through the ropes to bring the world champion back into the rin-
Eve: JAKE SMITH UNLOADS THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE FACE OF IMPACT! IMPACT DROPS THE CHAINS BEHIND HIM AND COVERS HIS FACE.. IMPACT IS SWINGING AROUND WITH HIS VISION COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED AS SMITH NOW SLIDES INTO THE RING WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER CAN IN HAND..
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE SMASHES THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SMITH DROPS THE EXTINGUISHER AND TOSSES IT OUT OF THE RING.. THE WORLD CHAMPION NOW GRABS THE CHAINS.. AND WHAT IS HE THINKING HERE! JAKE SMITH WRAPS THE CHAINS AROUND HIS FIST AND WAITS FOR IMPACT TO GET UP TO HIS FEET..
Deadprez: The world champion might be giving the challenger a dose of his own medicine.. as he cocks the elbow back.. and HE SWINGS TOWARDS IMPACT! AND HE LOOKS TO KNOCK HIS LIGHTS OUT WITH THE FIST OF FUUUURRRYY!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND THROWS SALT INTO HIS FACE! JAKE SMITH DROPS THE CHAINS AND THE TIDES HAVE TURNED! THE CHAMPION IS NOW THE ONE WHO HAS THEIR VISION COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT.. AND NOW IMPACT TAKES HIM DOWN BY BOTH LEGS..
Eve: AND IMPACT TURNS HIS LEGS AND SITS IN DEEP FOR THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! LOOK DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE THAT JAKE SMITH’S FOREARMS AND CHIN ARE RESTING RIGHT ON TOP OF THE PILE OF LEGOS THAT HE INTRODUCED EARLIER INTO THIS MATCH! JAKE SMITH BRINGING IN THOSE LEGO BLOCKS WERE POSSIBLY THE WORST THING HE COULD HAVE DONE IN THIS MATCH AS IT HAS COMPLETELY BACKFIRED RIGHT INTO HIS FACE!
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH NOW DIGS HIS ELBOWS INTO THE CANVAS AND CRAWLS HIS WAY TOWARDS THE ROPES.. SMITH PAINFULLY NAVIGATES HIS WAY THROUGH HIS LEGO BLOCKS.. AND THIS IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF A WORLD CHAMPION RIGHT NOW! IMPACT CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SMITH STILL HAS IT IN HIM TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE..
Gavin Kirkland: AND JAKE SMITH GETS HIS ENTIRE LEFT ARM OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE.. BUT IMPACT STILL HAS THE WALLS OF IMPACT ANCHORED IN DEEP! THERE IS NO ROPE BREAK.. SO SMITH COULD STILL TAP OUT AND LOSE HIS CHAMPIONSHIP RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH IS BITING INTO HIS HAND…. TRYING TO COPE WITH THE AGONY COMING IN FROM THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. AND SMITH UNCLENCHES HIS JAW AND LOOKS TO USE THE ROPES TO GET OUT..
Eve: BUT IMPACT SMARTLY DRAGS HIS BODY THROUGH THE PILE OF LEGOS AND SQUATS BACK INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING.. SMITH IS BACK TO WHERE HE STARTED.. AND SMITH IS SCREAMING LOUDER THAN EVER.. WHEN WILL THIS MAN GIVE UP!
Deadprez: AND JAKE SMITH IS STARTING TO FADE….. AND THE REFEREE GOES OVER TO CHECK THE WORLD CHAMPION.. SMITH IS NO LONGER PUTTING HIS FOOT FORWARD IN ESCAPING OUT OF THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. AND IMPACT CONTINUES THE ADMINISTER THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN TOWARDS THE LOWER BACK FROM THE BOSTON CRAB.. IMPACT WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE AS HE KNOWS HE’S WON THIS.
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS ALMOST A SPLITTING IMAGE OF HOW HE DETHRONED TLA AT THIS PAST YEAR’S PAIN FOR PRIDE.. AND JAKE SMITH IS BLACKED OUT…
Eve: AND SMITH HAS OFFICIALLY PASSED OU-
Deadprez: JAKE SMITH INSTANTLY POPS HIS HEAD BACK OFF THE CANVAS AND STARTS TO USE HIS FOREARMS TO CRAWL CLOSER TOWARDS THE ROPES! EVERYONE HERE IN DENVER, COLORADO IS BEHIND THE WORLD CHAMPION HERE.. AS IMPACT CAN’T BELIEVE IT! JAKE SMITH HAS CAUGHT SECOND WIND.. HE’S FIGHTING WITH ADRENALINE HERE AS HE IS SO CLOSE TOWARDS THE ROPES AND ESCAPING THE WALLS OF IMPACT!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT TURNS THE WALLS OF IMPACT OVER.. AND HE BEGINS TO USE HIS LEFT FOOT AND STOMPS THE BACK OF SMITH’S HEAD! EVERY STOMP TO THE HEAD DELIVERS A DEVASTATING BLOW TO THE SPIRITS OF THE WORLD CHAMPION! AND SMITH CAN’T COVER HIM UP.. HE IS INCREDIBLY OPEN TO THESE BLOWS.. AND SMITH CONTINUES TO REACH FOR THE ROPES.. BUT IMPACT KICKS HIS HAND AWAY.. AND THEN KICKS HIS HEAD IN.. AND THEN HE DRAGS HIM BACK INTO THE RING AND SITS IN THE WALLS OF IMPACT.
Deadprez: SMITH’S SECOND ATTEMPT AT BREAKING FREE OF THE WALLS OF IMPACT HAS BEEN BLOCKED.. AND NOW IMPACT IS SITTING DEEPER MORE THAN EVER.. AND WHAT MORE DOES JAKE SMITH HAVE LEFT IN HIS SYSTEM.. AND SMITH IS TRYING TO REACH FOR THE ROPES.. BUT HE IS SO FAR..
Eve: AND IMPACT NOW DIGS HIS KNEE INTO THE LOWER BACK OF JAKE SMITH.. AND IMPACT RARELY EVER BUSTS OUT THIS VARIATION OF THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. AND SMITH IS LITERALLY FROZEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING.. HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, BUT HE CONTINUES TO FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING LEFT IN HIS BODY..
Gavin Kirkland: SMITH CONTINUES TO EXTEND AND REACH HIS LEFT ARM TOWARDS THE ROPES.. BUT HIS ARM IS TREMBLING IN PAIN… AND THAT ARM BEGINS TO SLOWLY LOWER TO THE GROUND.. AND BLOOD BEGINS TO BUBBLE OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE WORLD CHAMPION.. AND HIS HAIR FALLS OVER HIS FACE AS SMITH’S FACE GOES DOWN INTO THE CANVAS.. AND SMITH IS OUT..
Deadprez: IMPACT IS YOUR NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!!
**POW!!**
Eve: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!
Deadprez: CHRIS ELITE STUMBLED INTO THE RING AND DELIVERED THE DEVASTATING SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF IMPACT.. IMPACT LETS GO OF THE MODIFIED BOSTON CRAB AND COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND.. AND CHRIS ELITE ALMOST COLLAPSES ONTO THE CANVAS PURELY OUT OF EXHAUSTION..
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AFTER BEING UNDER THE PRESSURE OF THE WALLS OF IMPACT FOR NEARLY FIVE MINUTES.. AND CHRIS ELITE CAME FOR THE RESCUE.. STUFFING IMPACT WITH THE BOX OFFICE SMASH.. AND NOW HOW IRONIC.. IMPACT WAS ON THE VERGE OF WINNING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP BACK AT KING OF ELITE.. AND ELITE STOPPED HIM FROM DOING THAT WITH THE BOX OFFICE SMASH.. AND HISTORY REPEATS AS THE SUPERKICK STOPS IMPACT FROM WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP HERE AT REASONABLE DOUBT..
Eve: Chris Elite is somehow still on his feet as he depends on the turnbuckles like a crutch. Jake Smith is still face down, yet to move an inch, perhaps even knocked unconscious as Elite focuses his attention onto Impact. Impact is somehow able to move his body, with his limbs quaking with every movement as he now gingerly gets up to both knees! Chris Elite has him in position to deliver his third BOX OFFICE SMASH to IMPACT.. Impact is literally on his knees.. oblivious of his surroundings and probably not even aware that he is wrestling a match right now..
( Chris Elite wraps a steel chain around the sole of his boot. )
Deadprez: THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO FINISH OFF IMPACT.. AS CHRIS ELITE NOW RUNS OUT OF THE CORNER…
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE DELIVERS A THIRD BOX OFFICE SMASH WITH THE STEEL CHAIN AROUND HIS BOOT PRECISELY TO THE FACE OF IMPACT.. IMPACT FALLS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES.. AND ELITE ROLLS HIM OVER AND GETS THE LATERAL PRESS.. WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION IN ELITE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

( ………………………………………………………. )
Deadprez: ….JAKE SMITH WAKES UP AND BLOCKS THE REFEREE’S HAND FROM ODING THE THIRD COUNT..
Gavin Kirkland:THE REST OF SMITH’S BODY IS MOTIONLESS.. AS HE USES WHATEVER IS LEFT IN HIS HEART AND SOUL TO MAKE THE SAVE.. AND SMITH CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN HIS GRIP AROUND THE HAND OF THE REFEREE.
Eve: Chris Elite is incredibly confused.. as he somewhat thinks he has won as the crowd counted the three.. but he has been in this business too much to know that he needs to have the satisfaction of hearing the referee smack their hand into the canvas for the third count.. and he turns around and he sees Jake Smith blocking the hand! AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SEEN A GHOST! ELITE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE THOUGHT SMITH WAS FOR SURE WASN’T GOING TO BE A FACTOR AND HE WAS WRONG!
Deadprez: Jake Smith lifts his head up and pulls his hair away from his face. He refuses to let go of the referee’s hand.. and this speaks to how important Jake Smith wants to keep his dream alive.. to how much Jake Smith wants to leave the Ball Arena still the EAW Answers World Champion. Chris Elite is seething at the core.. He is trembling, with smoke essentially steaming out of his ears.. and Smith is too exhausted to get up to his feet.. It is almost as if he is instinctively grabbing the referee’s hand as he can’t get up to his feet..
Jake Smith: (off-mic) THIS.. CHAMPIONSHIP.. IS… MINE!!!
Eve: AND CHRIS ELITE DELIVERS A BOX OFFICE SMASH WITH THE STEEL CHAINS TO THE JAW OF JAKE SMITH.. SMITH FALLS FORWARD AND BURIES HIS HEAD INTO THE GROUND.. AND HE LETS GO OF THE REFEREE’S HAND..
Gavin Kirkland: AND CHRIS ELITE ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK.. AND HE HOOKS THE LEG.. AND THE REFEREE SLIDES OVER FOR THE COVER.. COUNT TO A THOUSAND AT THIS POINT…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( Jake Smith slightly hoists the top of his shoulder up off the canvas and kicks out. )
Gavin Kirkland: NEVER MIND! JAKE SMITH REFUSES TO STAY DOWN.. AND THE EYES OF CHRIS ELITE TELLS HIS THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW.. ELITE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS COMING FROM JAKE SMITH… AND THE FACT THAT ELITE HAS GOTTEN TO KNOW SMITH ON A PERSONAL LEVEL FOR MANY MONTHS SHOWS THAT ELITE MAY HAVE UNDERESTIMATED HIM.. WE MAY HAVE ALL UNDERESTIMATED THE RESILIENCE OF THE WORLD CHAMPION..
Deadprez: AND CHRIS ELITE EMERGES TO HIS FEET.. AND STANDS OVER JAKE SMITH.. SMITH MUST BE CHANNELING ENERGY FROM THE SOLD OUT CROWD HERE IN DENVER, COLORADO.. BECAUSE SMITH IS NOW GRABBING ONTO ELITE’S SHINS.. AND HE IS USING HIS FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER TO GET UP TO HIS FEET.. AND ELITE HELPS HIM UP TO HIS FEET.. AND HE HOLDS HIM BY THE JAW AND HE PROPS HIM FULLY TO A VERTICAL BASE!
Eve: AND SMITH IS BARELY UP ON HIS FEET.. AND ELITE TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK..
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE DELIVERS… ANOTHER BOXXXXXXXXXXXXXX OFFFICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Deadprez: IT’S OVER!!
Eve: NO!! JAKE SMITH DUCKS UNDER THE KICK… AND CHRIS ELITE TURNS AROUND….
Gavin Kirkland: STARRRRRMAKKKKKERRRRRRRR!!!!
Eve: SMITH DRILLS ELITE WITH THE CUTTER.. BUT HE IS NOT DONE YET… SMITH GETS UP TO HIS FEET.. LETS OUT A HUGE ROAR AND BRINGS ELITE BACK UP TO HIS FEET..
Deadprez: SMITH RUNS INTO THE CORNER.. RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES.. SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES.. AND HE DROPS BACK DOWN TOWARDS ELITE..
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE DELIVERS ANOTHER STARMAKER TO ELITE… SMITH ROLLS OVER AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( “War” by grandson blasts through the speakers as the Ball Arena becomes unhinged. Relief overcomes what was constant worrisome expressions on the face of Jake Smith as he hears the third count and the bell ring. Smith lets off Elite’s legs, sprawls himself onto the canvas, looks up at the lights, and a huge smile creeps on his face. One of the stagehands slides into the ring and hands him the EAW Answers World Champion as Smith gradually gets up to his feet before he raises it. )
Gina Romano: AND STILL.. YOUR EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION.. JAAAAKEE… SMIIITH!!!
Deadprez: Through thick and thin, and through hell and high water; Jake Smith is still our EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! Jake Smith, Chris Elite, and Impact went through an absolute war and bloodshed tonight as we predicted.. and Jake Smith emerges victorious as the dust settles.. and to any of the naysayers and doubters that believed Jake Smith wasn’t ready to take the reins after Impact.. that Jake Smith wasn’t fit enough to assume the responsibilities of a world champion.. and that Jake Smith simply wasn’t world championship material.. HE HAS PROVEN TONIGHT THAT HE IS READY.. THAT HE IS FIT.. THAT IS CAPABLE.. THAT IS MATERIAL.. AND THAT HE DESERVES TO BE HERE..
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith most definitely showed up and showed out here tonight! There were many moments that had us thinking that Impact had this match won, but Jake Smith fought against every odds that was stacked up against him and successfully cleared his name. Smith outlasted two men in one of the most dangerous structures in this industry, in one of the most difficult matches in his career, and demonstrated to everyone that the future of this company, the future of Saturday nights, and the future of the EAW Answers World Championship is in perfect hands. He put everything on the line to keep his dream alive, and he is still the champion.. and he’s proven that sometimes you’ve got to TRUST! THE! PROCESS!!
Eve: What a career-defining performance from Jake Smith. The amount of torture that he went through this match.. The amount of disrespect that he took from his opponents.. Many thought Jake Smith wasn’t built to take all of that, but he swallowed every single second of that pain and kept fighting. Impact proved that he still has what it takes to fight to the very shred of his very being for the world championship.. and Chris Elite still got it! However, even with all of the years behind both of those Hall of Famers.. This kind of match all boils down to who makes the biggest mistake.. Who can act on those mistakes faster.. Who has the biggest heart and soul.. Who is the most resilient out of the three.. and it is no surprise that one of the faces of the new Elite Answers Wrestling fills in that criteria..
Gavin Kirkland: This match was a treat to watch.. and this match will definitely serve as a warning to the 2023 King of Elite, Adam Lucas, as he surely must be watching. Congratulations to Jake Smith as he is STILL! YOUR EAW! ANSWERS! WORRRLD!! CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Eve: THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR WATCHING.. AND BE SURE TO CATCH US NEXT SATURDAY.. TO SEE THE AFTERMATH OF REASONABLE DOUBT!
( The last shot is Jake Smith raising the EAW Answers World Championship on the stage to pyro. )
(It cuts to the last commercial break)
(After coming back from the final commercial break, ‘You know my name’ by Chris Cornell kicks in over the PA system, a huge roar filling the arena as Adam Lucas steps out onto the stage. He is determined, no question about it, but he also wears a huge smile on his face, knowing that finally his moment has arrived. He looks up to the roof and points a single finger, perhaps a nod to his mentor Orlando Cruze who died five years ago, before then starting to make his way down to the ring.)
Deadprez: No surprise in the thunderous ovations for Adam Lucas… I’m being told that will actually be the last time we hear him enter that music, and a new theme is to be debuted at Pain for Pride.
Eve: It’s a theme that has always gotten these fans off their feet. I’ll be sorry to see it go.
Gavin Kirkland: Perhaps the great Bond theme ever.
Deadprez: But regardless of music, you can get Adam Lucas’ reaction regardless. These fans get him, and he gets them.
(Adam reaches the ring and climbs the steps, pausing on the apron to look out over the fans and applaud them, before then bending through the strands. He walks over to the side of the ring, and a crew member passes him a microphone, Adam walking to the center of the ring and nodding his head as he looks over the arena. Slowly, he brings the mic to his lips.)
Adam Lucas: Can you cut the music please?
(His music fades out, but is replaced by a ‘Next Level’ chant, which brings another smile to Adam’s face. However, he has things to say, and knows that the show is running out of time, so he starts to speak.)
Adam Lucas: Thank you Memphis… that’s the kind of reaction that I was looking for tonight. Over the past month or so, I’ll admit, it’s kind of difficult to turn the old ‘frown upside down’, and that all comes down to one person. The Answers World Champion Jake Smith.
(There is a mixed reaction to his name, but the arena does seem to be ever so slightly on Adam’s side.)
Adam Lucas: I came into this build with my eyes open, I knew the kind of person Jake is. I knew how much he wanted to remain champion because it is quite literally his everything. I expected cheap shots, I expected run-ins, I thought he might cost me a few matches here and there, after all, that’s class Jake Smith isn’t it? But, from someone who I considered a friend. Someone I considered an ally; I didn’t expect him to make it personal. I didn’t expect him to bring my wife into the equation. See, if Impact had tried it, I would have shrugged it off. Kassidy is trying to bring me into this equation with my wife. I’m having nothing to do with it, because it has NOTHING to do with me. But from Jake Smith, someone who I advocated as World Champion, I expected better. I WANTED better. What I got was someone who did all he could to provoke me… and I guess he got what he wanted. But in doing so, he unleashed something that he won’t be able to handle. And I warned him guys, you heard me. You heard that this game he was playing wouldn’t end well for him. I told him, on more than one occasion, that Beth is someone that I care about far more than I care about myself, or even this business. Yes, he took it to personal levels that I would have expected from far lesser individuals than him, and now at Pain for Pride, he has not just made this about his reign as World Champion. Oh no, now he has made it about his survival. And he may well laugh and joke about it now, after all, Adam Lucas is seen as a nice guy, not capable of going to the depths that Jake has sunk into. He ‘thinks’ he’s gotten into my head. He ‘believes’ that he is living there rent free. But I promise you guys that is a million miles away from the truth, because mind games only work on the weak. What he HAS done, is given me even MORE incentive to kick his ass. And that is EXACTLY what I am going to do.
(Adam paces the ring again, nodding his head in acknowledgment of the reaction he is getting.)
Deadprez: I don’t know guys, were Adam’s reactions controlled?
Eve: I guess we will never know until Pain for Pride is over.
Deadprez: I just hope Adam’s words are true because if he does allow his emotions to boil over, you can bet Jake will be waiting to capitalize.
(Adam leans on the top strand, looking out at the fans hanging on his every word.)
Adam Lucas: Because Jake, I’m not an Impact, or a Chris Elite, belittling you and everything you have ever done on your journey to the top. I am not an Alex Myers, or even a Donovan Duke, both potential World Champions in the future, but not quick ready to topple you, or cause a halt to your momentum, not just yet. I am someone that hasn’t just been primed for this very moment, the main event of Pain for Pride, which is categorically where I belong. I am also someone, who if you dug deep into that cold, calculating heart of yours, you’d know is far more capable than anything else you have faced thus far. Not just a World Champion in waiting, but the Next Level, a more capable World Champion that you could ever be. Jake, on behalf of Elite Answers Wrestling, I thank you for your service, and for wrenching the title from those that didn’t care for this company, or our fans worldwide. We thank you for defending that Championship to the very best of your ability, and staying true, at least till now, to what being a Champion means. But now I’m here, and what started at the very beginning of Season Sixteen is now about to come to its epic conclusion. And with it, the dawning of a new era…
Voice: Yeah, Yeah… where have I heard that speech before?
Deadprez: The Answers World Champion has heard enough apparently.
(The crowd roars as Jake Smith steps out onto the staging, the Answers World Championship draped over his shoulder. He waves at Adam sarcastically, who just shakes his head dismissively.)
Jake Smith: Oh, come on Adam, why so serious? Isn’t this everything you ever dreamed of? The main event of Pain for Pride?
Adam Lucas: You know full well it is Jake.
Jake Smith: Then so what if I made a few comments about the ‘Good’ Doctor, I mean, it’s not like I’m the ONLY person who’s had a go on her is it?
Adam Lucas: No Jake, but you can rest assured that I will be the last.
(Jake nods, agreeing with the comment wholeheartedly.)
Jake Smith: Sure, you probably will be. I mean, there is every chance there will be no Doctor left after Pain for Pride after Kassidy gets her hands on her, and the only sucking she’ll be doing is her food through a straw, but I digress. The point is, I’ve made this ‘build’ fun… now the whole world will be watching next week, because of me.
Adam Lucas: Because of you huh?
Jake Smith: Well, they sure as hell won’t be tuning in to see a generic vanilla white boy like you.
Deadprez: Even now, Jake Smith taking potshots hoping something lands.
Adam Lucas: And there you go Jake. See, for the past few months you’ve obviously not been listening, but it doesn’t matter what you say or do on camera. You think you’re the first to have a pop about Beth, or how I’m boring, or the best of the bunch, how I’m incapable of overcoming that week’s opponent.
Jake Smith: I never said you were incapable…
Adam Lucas: Perhaps not, but while you’ve been flapping your gums, I’ve been focusing on the one thing you hold dear… that strap over your shoulder. Even now, you think your ‘under my skin’, and I guess I should applaud you for your tenacity. But every single one of those words won’t mean a jot next week Jake. What will matter is how I dismantle you, piece by piece, and leave you with nothing. Because I don’t just know how to beat you Jake, and what makes you tick… I WILL beat you because I’ve come too far to not do exactly that. It didn’t have to be like this Jake. You decided the scenario on which the battle lines were drawn. So, when you falter, there will be no excuses, no whys and wherefores. I will win the World Champions on YOUR terms, and you will have to learn to deal with that.
(Jake shifts the belt on his shoulder, clearly enjoying the moment. He can sense the animosity in Adam’s voice, and knew that this match was going to be everything he had every wanted it to be. The Pain for Pride moment he would cherish forever.)
Deadprez: I’m glad that Jake is all the way up there because this could get out of control.
Eve: I honestly don’t think so Prez… I think you are seeing two individuals now ready to accept all consequences of their actions.
Jake Smith: Adam, I know you bro, I know how that mind of yours works. Yeah, of course you’re going to come out here and ‘claim’ that my words have had no effect. But you gotta know, I’ve been playing you like a puppet on a string. And even when Harper and Holly told you the exact thing, you were too pig-headed to admit it. You’ve spoken many times about how I needed an advantage, and how I know I’m not good enough to beat you without it, but you know what? That’s crap Adam, I never needed an advantage at all. You’re good, no question. That King of Elite win was testament to that. But the fact is, you’re not good ENOUGH, and after Pain for Pride, YOU’LL be the one dealing with stuff, while I’ll be heading into Season Seventeen still Champion, ready to ask, ‘who’s next?’ Adam, you may not believe it right now, but I DO respect you. But I’ve worked too hard this season to be in the Main Event and not come out as Champion. I’m sorry my friend, but this is the way it has to be.
Deadprez: Jake making it clear how he believes this is going to go
Gavin Kirkland: You can just feel the atmosphere in this place. It really is ready to pop.
(In the ring, Adam just looks at Jake, who returns the favor. Two individuals who now know that there is nothing more to say. Adam however does have one final thing, and as the ripple of conversation is heard from the fans wondering what is about to happen, Adam lifts the mic for one last time.)
Adam Lucas: The way it has to be huh? OK Jake, I’ll hold you to that when you come begging for my forgiveness when all this goes South. I’ll just say one last thing, one final statement and one I never make. I’ll say it to you, all these fans in attendance and those watching worldwide…
(Adam finds a camera, and pulls it closer, both hands either side and holding it steady.)
Adam Lucas: I PROMISE that I will be Answers World Champion when Pain for Pride is over. And I’m not settling for anything less.
(Adam pushes away that particular camera, and we cut to another which finds Jake Smith, who lifts the title up in the air with a huge smile on his face. The camera picks up Adam again, who points at the title, and then motions to his waist, making it clear where it will be very shortly. Jake simply shakes his head, and continues to smile, bringing the belt down and patting it on his shoulder.)
Eve: What a way to close out the last Showdown of Season 16! It has been another great one here on the Blue Brand!
Gavin Kirkland: And all that is left? Pain For Pride!
Deadprez: That’s all we have time for folks, join us next week for the greatest show on Earth, Pain for Pride. You do not want to miss this. Goodnight everyone and for all of us…. THANK YOU for another great season of Showdown and the EAW!
(Jake Smith and Adam Lucas continue to stare down each other as the fans cheer loudly.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
