Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s episode. To start the show off Adam Lucas and Daryl Kinkade have a little back and forth, trying to one up each other and throwing cheap shots at each other before Adam has enough and he begins attacking Daryl with security rushing over to split them apart. Lucas Johnson defeats Mattias Burke. Usagi comes out and calls out Pandora, the two of them crossing paths last week and seeing in her eyes that she still holds some resentment towards her and Pandora arrives saying she still has, with Usagi suggesting they should settle that in the ring before Usagi goes to attack her, Amir arrives to help out Usagi but a returning PJ Hendrx makes his Showdown debut, quickly arriving to even the odds and help out Usagi, as Usagi and PJ challenge them at Midsummer Massacre to a No DQ tag match. Delilah picks up a win over Kasai, but after the match, she gets attacked by Caroline, as Caroline uses that time to explain her reason why she has been targeting first Delilah and Halsey, which prompts Halsey to come out and put her foot down, if Caroline wants her so bad, then she should fight her at Midsummer Massacre, and Caroline agrees willing to fight Halsey AND Delilah in a triple threat as she then dissapears once the lights go out. Serenity is able to win against Halsey Neel after a roll up and grabbing onto the tights. The Off-Brand Amphetamines come out to call out POTARA over the attack they planned on them, with POTARA arriving and explaining that the two of them don’t play, they aren’t ready for the standards they hold up and they will show it to them when they beat them once again with the tag titles on the line, as the two teams then begin to brawl all around the ring and off to backstage. Sheridan has an interview with Kyra Phillips, where she talks about what happened last week with Adam and promises she will make Scott Diamond regret stepping in the ring with her. Veena defeats Candice and after the match Candice calls out Ashlynn for a match at Midsummer Massacre, the two fight over who is the better wrestler and the prettiest and so they will settle it at Midsummer Massacre in a Battle of the Barbies. Miku Sakai has a quick interview with Kyra Phillips where she promises to dethrone Kassidy and tells all of the doubters to fuck off. Hikari is able to pick up a victory over ARIA after a distraction from Jon Kelton, as ARIA rushes away and chases Kelton after what happened and Serenity and Hikari start brawling themselves. Chef Viz takes some time to relax and prepare some steak before he is interrupted by Cy Henderson in his kitchen, as Cy wants to end this now but he gets stopped by Viz and Angelo, as they let him know the news that he has to fight a surprise opponent next week picked by them, Viz then attacks him with a pan and Viz gives him other news, their match will now be inside a steel cage. And finally, the main event between Scott Diamond and Jon Kelton ends in a no contest as Sheridan interferes, ARIA uses the advantage of the chaos to go after Kelton and brawl with him as Sheridan is able to take down Scott after what happened last week and stand tall over him.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec. Blue fireworks are shooting out of the stage and a very excited crowd can be shown on their feet. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: Welcome everyone…TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! We have an incredible night of action for all of you tonight as this is the go-home show to Midsummer Massacre! We have planned for you various matches like Johnny Heat versus Ashlynn Quinn, Nikki Kamura against Kasai, as well as Amir Yusuf facing off against Lucas Johnson!
Deadprez: We also got Daryl Kinkade versus Delilah Rose, the Answers World Champion Adam Lucas going up against Kirk Redwood and finally, on the main event, Cy Henderson’s first singles match in years against Usagi Senshi!
Gavin Kirkland: Let’s not wait any longer, I want to see my beautiful women!…AND WRESTLING, OF COURSE! Let’s kick the show right off! With Heidi Huxley in the ring with the contract signing!
(The Camera transitions to inside the ring where Heidi Huxley stands with a microphone. Where a table is set up and she is at the end of it holding the contract.)
Heidi Huxley: Welcome to Showdown! Midsummer Massacre is the first huge event of the 17th Season to the EAW! There are many great matches, but one of the marquee events that is happening Is the bout between the current Cash in the Vault Winner, Sheridan Muller, and a legend in Scott Diamond. I am here to make it official So at this time, could I please introduce….. SHERIDAN MULLER!
(The crowd starts to cheer as “Amerika” by Rammstein starts to play. Sheridan slowly walks out in her street clothes; she has the Cash in the Vault briefcase in hand and looks extremely focused. She gets into the ring and sits down, but before she has a mic in hand.)
Sheridan Muller: I am a woman of few words. This is about actions, and we have seen what has been happening the last few weeks here on Showdown since the season began. I became a target to Scott Diamond. Honestly at this point I don’t know what issues he ever took with me, at this point it sounds more like jealousy than anything. I won this Cash in the Vault fair and square. He defeated the Visual Prophet in one of the bigger matches at Pain For Pride. But when I was drafted to Showdown with one of the high picks, I wanted to make my introduction and say what I had planned to do on the Blue Brand, instead here comes Scott Diamond and he lays me out. Excuses after excuses and yet nothing concrete. This is not the way I expected for my start on Showdown to be, but I will be damned if I am going to allow this to continue.
(Sheridan grabs the pen from Heidi Huxley, she quickly signs the contract just as “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins starts to play throughout the arena. The fans get to their feet as Scott Diamond slowly walks out. Sheridan turns to her attention to the ring as he glares at her before making his way to the ringside area.)
Deadprez: BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP DAWG! SCOTT DIAMOND IS HERE AND HE DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY AT ALL! WE SAW SHERIDAN INTERFERE IN HIS MATCH LAST WEEK THAT COST SCOTT THE VICTORY! NOW THESE TWO WILL MEET NEXT WEEK!
Eve: MIDSUMMER MASSACRE IS TURNING OUT TO BE A HELL OF A CARD! FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, IT IS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL NIGHT AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MATCHES THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE!
Gavin Kirkland: Sheridan needs to get her butt out of there and like now!
(Scott Diamond makes it into the ring, he then grabs the mic and stands in front of Sheridan Muller. The two glare at one another before he takes the mic, his theme dies down.)
Scott Diamond: Nobody needs a reason for what I did. Sheridan, the fact you were a top draft pick and the person who holds the Cash In The Vault is reason enough. I don’t need someone like you to make a statement, The fact I walk into any building is a statement on it’s own. But I looked at you and saw how proud you were of becoming the Cash in the Vault, having a great season, a former Unified Tag Team Champion which to be honest, your partner carried you, Sheridan but that doesn’t mean that you still didn’t have a very productive year finishing it off with winning the Cash In the Vault. But you see, I want something more. More than Championship gold ….. and you are it.
(Sheridan and Scott just stare face to face, nose to nose.)
Sheridan Muller: Then sign the contract.
(Scott Diamond pauses, he then smiles before grabbing the pen and signing the contract.)
Heidi Huxley: The match at Midsummer Massacre is NOW official! Sheridan Muller will face…. Scott Diamond and…..
(SLAM!!!)
Deadprez: SCOTT DIAMOND JUST SLAMMED SHERIDAN’S HEAD INTO THE TABLE! HE DRAGS HER OFF OVER THE TABLE AND LIFTS HER UP! HE …. NO! SHERIDAN FALLS BEHIND HIM AND HE TURNS INTO A FLURRY OF KICKS! SHERIDAN IS HITTING SCOTT WITH FOREARMS!
Eve: SCOTT IS STAGGERING BACK AND SHERIDAN RUNS FROM THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A KICK, NO! SCOTT CATCHES HER FOOT AND THROWS HER BACK! SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND SCOTT CATCHES HER INTO THE VORTEX!!!!
(CRASH!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: SCOTT DIAMOND JUST CRASHED SHERIDAN ON THE TABLE WITH THE VORTEX AND SHE IS NOT MOVING! HE MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED SHERIDAN OUT AND LOOK AT SCOTT, HE GRABS THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE…..
(SLAM!!!!)
(SLAM!!!!)
(SLAM!!!!)
DeadpreZ: HE JUST SLAMMED THE BRIEFCASE ON HER BACK OVER AND OVER AND IF SHERIDAN WASN’T OUT, SHE IS NOW! SCOTT JUST THREW THE BRIEFSACE DOWN AND PUTS HIS FOOT ON HER BACK!
(In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins starts to play as Heidi Huxley already made a mad dash out of the ring. Sheridan lies face down in the rubble as Scott Diamond stands on top of her. He smiles and raises his hands.)
Eve: Is this a taste of things to come!? I don’t know….. but Sheridan is in a lot of trouble!
Gavin Kirkland: I told her to run!
(Sheridan continues to lie motionless as Scott just starts to laugh as the scene fades into a commercial break.)
(As the commercial break ends, ‘’Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa plays as Ashlynn Quinn walks out with Veena Adams. The crowd boos them as they do not approve of their behavior at all. Several fangirls line up as the minority in the crowd, asking for autographs but she just sticks her nose up to them.)
Gina Romano: The opening match of Showdown is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit! Introducing first, Ashlynn Quinn!
(Ashlynn enters the ring all boujee, Veena Adams claps as she stands on the outside. When ‘’Lick it Up’ by KISS plays as Johnny Heat walks out to cheers. He high fives some of the people in the audience as he makes his way down the ramp and into the ring.)
Gina Romano: And the challenger, Johnny Heat!
(Johnny Heat looks ready to make an impact, he stretches as the referee checks on both competitors before calling for the bell to start the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND JOHNNY TRIES TO START THE GATE OFF SWINGING! He’s looking for several shots, but Ashlynn dodges them all and taunts him right in this face! Johnny attempts a roundhouse kick but she does the exact same thing, before pushing him down into the mat! Looks to me like Ashlynn is willing to play a bit of bully ball here, as Johnny tries to get up, but Ashlynn kicks him down with ease! Johnny is starting to feel the heat coming on here, and Ashlynn just wants to continue to pile it on! Doesn’t seem to be letting the guy breathe in the slightest!
Eve: Johnny is reaching for the turnbuckle, but Ashlynn decides she wants to go for some more! Taking a page out of Veena Adam’s playbook with her beautiful violence here, as she slams his head against the turnbuckle, using his hair in doing so! She runs off the opposite turnbuckle and strikes him down with a big boot to the back of the head! So far, this is looking grim for Johnny Heat! I don’t even think he can continue on here, man. This sucks.
Deadprez: Ashlynn is just going ham on Johnny tonight, as she lifts him up with ease, putting him down for a German Suplex! That’s crazy! What a German Suplex as Ashlynn is showing her improved strength and overall wrestling acumen by being around that Mr. DEDEDE heritage! Starting to look a lot like a bloody Christmas here, even though there’s nothing pouring out so far! Soon, though. There might very well be, especially with how painful this is getting for Johnny! Doesn’t seem like he has anywhere else to go right now!
Gavin Kirkland: And Ashlynn is just bullying the poor guy, repeatedly slapping him in the back of the head over and over again! That experience and killer instinct is now coming through, and in all honesty, this may be her greatest performance yet! She just looks so comfortable in that ring, you couldn’t tell she’s new to this sport! Johnny tries to stand up, but Ashlynn immediately turns around with a devastating HEADBUTT to his nose! He staggers a bit, but Ashlynn puts him back down with a back elbow!
Eve: Somebody call nine-one-one, stat. This is going to be a massacre, and Johnny might just have to give up here! But no! He’s trying to fight out of it! He’s throwing wild hooks in an attempt to stagger Ashlynn, and immediately jumps on the top rope, attempting to hit with a forearm smash– NO! Ashlynn just steps out the way and Johnny is taken down! Now she’s taunting and laughing at him, seeing as he just made a massive fool out of himself! Ashlynn pushes him and rolls him down the ring, sending him close to the outside before jumping over the rope!
Deadprez: She has it right here, and she does it! LEG DROP! That leg just went right into the neck of Johnny Heat, and this is looking like a hardcore match the way she’s moving! Ashlynn has everything she needs here and more, as Johnny is trying to survive in the early stages of this match! Ashlynn lifts him up for a Vertical Suplex, and she drops him down! WIth ease too! Turns him around, and straight up chokes him! Johnny is gasping for air! He has zero idea what to do here now! He’s pulling on her arm in an attempt to get it out, but Ashlynn has it locked on tight! He might pass out here, but no! He manages to take the arm off and rolls!
Gavin Kirkland: Did blud just roll on the same neck he got choked on, and leg dropped on? Is he stupid or something? Dude does not care about injuries, and that’s clearly obvious! We here at EAW practice excellent health and safety measures both in combat and outside it! He does not deserve to be here! Ashlynn stands up as she stomps on his head as he finished the roll! Now, she has a clean slate and a limp body lying on the mat! Nothing seems to stop her now, and this may very well be a literal death in this competition!
Eve: She picks him up, rests him on the ropes as she goes for a Superkick! His arms are locked on to the ropes so he can’t get flung over, as she’s going for it over and over again! Just brutalizing this man, as Johnny does not know what to do! From the jump, he’s been bullied like crazy and there is nothing that he has shown us so far! Came out the gate swinging and now he might come out of this match dead! Ashlynn is having her way with him, and he has had zero response so far! Kinda sad, but it is what it is! Should’ve come into this match a bit more prepared!
Deadprez: She tries the kick again, but no! Johnny leans back and dodges the attack! What a manuever! He hits her with a dropkick, stunning her, as Johnny leaps on the top rope! He might have it right here— NOPE. Ashlynn justs brings him down with a brutal neckbreaker and that may have very well just been the final straw, as his neck is turning red as hell! Not good, and that is not a good sign especially if you’re a young star like he is! Ashlynn has him where she wants him, and this is where she will dominate! Johnny gets up, but BOOM!
Gavin Kirkland: Ashlynn hits him with an elbow, and proceeds to go for another neck breaker! Veena is looking on in approval, nodding at her mentee’s display of killer instinct! Johnny doesn’t seem to be responsive, as Ashlynn just picks him up and hits him with several chops to the body! Each of those chops is making him exhale enormous amounts of air! She leaps off, and both her knees dig into his face with a Codebreaker! The Pink Star Diamond connects, as she goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
DING! DING! DING!
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, ASHLYNN QUINN!
(‘’Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa plays as Ashlynn Quinn has her hand raised by Veena Adams. Johnny is being tended to by EAW’s medical professionals as she walks off. Veena blows the crowd a kiss as they all boo them on.)
Deadprez: Talk about a momentum match for Ashlynn, this was it and much to the approval of none other than Veena Adams!
Eve: Ashlynn was definitely on her game tonight and she looks to continue that win streak at Midsummer Massacre over Candice Blair!
Gavin Kirkland: All men on this planet win tonight!
(Ashlynn continues to blow kisses when the scene changes to the backstage area.)
( Saturday Night Showdown transitions back to the crowd, with all the audience already seated for the show tonight in the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec. ‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL begins playing as the crowd erupts in cheers. KASAI walks through the smoke and appears pretty confident tonight for her match against Nikki Kimura. KASAI keeps her eyes on the ring, putting all her focus into this match as she makes her way towards the ring. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM AMANI, KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN!… WEIGHING IN AT 145 POUNDS!… ‘THE HUNTRESS’ !!!!!!!… KASAIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( KASAI goes into the ring as she begins leaning in the corner and closes her eyes, deep in thought while waiting for her opponent. ‘Vroom’ by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price replaces KASAI’s theme music as Nikki Kimura walks out, and the cheers go on. This is her first time being here in EAW, and of course, excitement comes first upon her face. Nikki, with a bright smile on her face, then transitions into a serious and confident mood as she maintains her way towards the ring. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT!… MAKING HER DEBUT OUT OF WEST PORTLAND, OREGON!… WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS!… ‘THE ANCHOR’ !!!!!!… NIKKI!… KIIIIIIMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: JOSHI WRESTLING TIME! Myself, Gavin, has a tremendous love for Japanese women, whether they’re 2D, 3D, real, or could have been a gravure model. I hold an immense fondness for all Japanese women, and Japanese ones could even be better! We are about to witness yet another peak of women’s wrestling, and I couldn’t wait to see this rolling any longer!
Eve: You sure do love Japanese women’s wrestling a lot, Gavin. We have these two rising stars right around the block here tonight. It’s KASAI taking on our newest addition to the Showdown Roster, Nikki Kimura, who is making her EAW debut tonight! A rising star is on her own way, while KASAI has a lot of experience when it comes to wrestling but a few when we speak of EAW. Both women look totally focused for this match tonight, and we can’t wait for this to unfold any longer as well!
Deadprez: KASAI has her eyes locked on her opponent, and the same could be said for Nikki Kimura, who is ready to go all out in her first match here in EAW. Nikki does a little roll to the side while keeping her eyes on KASAI, and KASAI remains unwavering. Nikki comes down and meets a little, trying to hit KASAI to start off with a calf kick. KASAI dashes backward, just avoiding the kick, and then tries to fire her own. Nikki moves back as well, and no one has been hit yet. Oh man, this looks already intense! INTENSE, if you know what I mean.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes, absolutely! The intense impact and everything that these two women could collide with, is definitely what I would agree with you, Prez! Nikki charges at KASAI’s legs, trying to focus on them and dealing some damage. Nikki at least manages to take down KASAI there. However, KASAI isn’t going to give up without a fight. On the other hand, KASAI tries to apply some leg lock maneuvers on Nikki, but Nikki still has her free left leg and starts kicking KASAI, sending her back away just a bit.
Deadprez: That was a very close call for KASAI to be set in a dangerous predicament there, but she manages to handle it well. Nikki somehow still has her eyes on KASAI and immediately walks back to pick her up., KASAI steps to the side and takes down Nikki by tripping her legs!… BACK TO HER FEET, KNEE DROP ON THE BACK OF HER NECK BY KASAI!
Eve: That’s quite a smart tactic from KASAI there, and it makes her able to handle her opponent well. KASAI now keeps her focus on Nikki, who just got struck by the knee on the back of her neck like that. KASAI picks up her own pace and starts controlling her opponent, now going for the arm and trying to extend her leg over Nikki’s back to apply the Octopus Stretch!
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki still knows what’s up, and resolutely, she’s not going to let that get in her way sooner or later! KASAI tries to play down her opponent and keep the pace of her own opponent slower, but Nikki refuses. Nikki now lifts her up instead! KASAI is on her shoulders!… NIKKI KIMURA WITH A SITOUT POWERBOMB! DOWN GOES KASAI!
Deadprez: Oh, wow! I mean, the powerbomb is already being used, and KASAI is facing serious trouble there! She needs to do something about this. Nikki already has a big advantage against her with that powerful powerbomb she just landed!
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI fights her way to get back to both knees, but Nikki already moves ahead, down to the corner! She has her eyes up, and KASAI is in a tight spot for Nikki!… PUNT KICK CUTS KASAI’S HEAD OFF! Nikki grabs her again… KNEE STRIKE BY NIKKI IN COMBINATION!
Eve: Oh, wait a second! She’s not done yet! The Anchor is still going all out against her opponent as she picks KASAI right back to her feet and now… BAM! GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER BY NIKKI KIMURA! SPIKED! KASAI IS DOWN! NIKKI COVER, LOOKING TO PICK UP A WIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI KICKS OUT! WE ARE FAR FROM OVER!
Deadprez: We? You aren’t even in the match!
Gavin Kirkland: Yes, we.
Eve: That’s quite a combination of impactful moves from our newest signee to the roster here tonight on Saturday Night Showdown, but it’s still not enough to put down the Huntress of the Blue Brand like KASAI just yet! KASAI knows deep down that it still can’t be over for her, and for Nikki, she still has a lot more to go in this match! She hasn’t pulled out her best move just yet!
Gavin Kirkland: However, one thing we have to admit is that Nikki made a smart decision by strategically busting out quite a lot of moves from her arsenal and managed to handle KASAI way much better than how it started from the first time. Now that Nikki weakens her opponent considerably, it’s a good chance for her to make a big move that could lead to her glory here. KASAI still has a hard time recovering from all those moves she just endured, but Nikki already has her eyes set on the preparation for her big target, such as KASAI here tonight.
Deadprez: NIKKI RUNS OFF!… HIGH KICK FROM KASAI CATCHES HER!… RUNNING SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF NIKKI’S HEAD!…. JUMPS BACK IN AND THE NECKBREAKER CONNECTS BY KASAI! OH, BABY! I THINK SHE’S FINALLY BACK ON TRACK!
Gavin Kirkland: She surely does after witnessing the type of fiery combination we just saw from KASAI’s quickness that handed her an opportunity to pay Nikki back with quite a considerable bill for what Nikki has done to her earlier! KASAI is finally back on track, and Nikki is going to get into a lot of trouble here! Nikki is still reeling and dazzled from those kicks and the neckbreaker itself that just got applied by KASAI! KASAI is already ahead of her, heading down to the apron and just waiting for Nikki to finally make her move!
Eve: Nikki now starts getting the ball rolling again, but she’s not going to notice it! KASAI is already there, waiting for her to put herself right in the spot that she planned her to be in! KASAI now flies off once she got back to her feet!… SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW TAKES DOWN NIKKI! KASAI ROLLS HER OVER AND GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI KICKS OUT!
Deadprez: KASAI’s effort pays off well, but it’s still not enough to put Nikki out for good. Regardless, KASAI may still have a lot in her mind to figure out and form a better game plan in this match to beat her opponent, such as Nikki Kimura. KASAI may have to think about what could be a good idea to take Nikki out for good here.
Eve: KASAI scrambles back to her feet once again while Nikki might be down on the mat, attempting to get back up as soon as possible. KASAI is already on her feet and now facing Nikki, who is still figuring out a way to fight her back…. RUNNING HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF NIKKI!… TRAPPING ELBOWS THE ARM, A KICK FROM THE SIDE BY KASAI!
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI still has Nikki in a hold; she shifts the position for the Sit-out Shoulder Breaker, but Nikki refuses to go along with her plan! Nikki struggles and lands on both feet safely! KASAI is caught by surprise and goes for a quick clothesline, but a double Axe Handle puts the stop sign right in front of the Huntress…. AN AXE KICK FROM NIKKI BUT KASAI CATCHES THE LEG!… SIDESTEPPING!… STANDING SEA FIRE PLANTS!
Deadprez: HOLD UP! WAIT THE MINUTE! NIKKI INTERCEPTS! KASAI is just about to land the move, but Nikki has her on one shoulder! Nikki catches her, but what could her plan be here? Nikki has KASAI under her control!… sends her both feet landing on the ground… BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX BY NIKKI! A COVER IN PROCESS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
Eve: KASAI KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN! Nikki may have a good chance to finish the match early! There, while KASAI is already on the ground, Nikki’s eyes show nothing but excitement she has, knowing that she’s about to win this match sooner or later! Nikki makes her way swiftly up to the top, and she’s quick!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at that, she goes up there fast like a monkey goes up a tree for their food! KASAI is already down, and Nikki is already up there! Nikki has her balance, and now… TAKING A FLIGHT!… MOONSAULT CONNECTS-
Deadprez: NO!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no! KASAI moves out of the way and causes Nikki to land herself hard on the ground! That’s a bad landing too! Nikki’s face just crashes hard onto the ground, and she could be in a lot of pain there! KASAI is already at the corner, but Nikki still struggles to get back up! KASAI has the advantage here… RUNNING CHOP BLOCK FROM BEHIND BY KASAI!
Eve: That’s quite a chop block from KASAI there, taking down her opposition! This has been quite a match so far, but how will it end? Will Nikki pick up a win in her debut match, or will this be another win on the path of the Huntress to glory here in EAW?
Gavin Kirkland: I’m very confident that these two are top-tier competitors, and it’s really hard to see how it’s been going so far to answer the question of who’s the winner of the match! Now, let’s not discuss that now because we have to see it for ourselves here! We have a great match to watch, and the result will come in due time once one side is able to pick up a win!
Deadprez: KASAI continues the match now and picks Nikki back up on her feet while Nikki is not even fully recovered! Damn, that surely might be it for Nikki if KASAI is going to put an end to the match here by picking up a win over her! KASAI takes just a little moment to look down at Nikki… AND NOW TIME’S UP! KASAI HOISTS HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS!… ‘MEGATSUNAMI’…
Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI SLIPS DOWN TO BEHIND! NIKKI HOOKS THE ARMS, AND TIGER SUPLEX-
Deadprez: KASAI JUMPS OUT TO THE SIDE!… KNEE LIFT CONNECTS BY KASAI!… DDT BUT NIKKI INTERCEPTS AGAIN!
Eve: KASAI is just about to land the DDT, but with the power of Nikki, that she still has left after what seems like she just went through, Nikki pulls off a break for KASAI and sends KASAI forward, flying and crashing with her knees on the ground! That’s something unexpected from Nikki, I don’t even know how she did that!
Deadprez: THERE ISN’T MUCH TIME TO WASTE! NIKKI TURNS OFF AND CONNECTS WITH KASAI IMMEDIATELY WITH A SUPERKICK, KNOCKING HER OUT! SHE JUST HIT THE SUPERKICK THAT PUT DOWN THE HUNTRESS RIGHT AWAY! KASAI IS CLEARLY OUT FROM THAT! NIKKI IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH! SHE’S ABOUT TO WIN IT!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD, THIS IS ABOUT TO GET REAL! WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE THE NEWEST SIGNEE WINNING HER FIRST MATCH HERE IN EAW AND PICK UP A WIN HERE! NIKKI HAS HER EYES ON KASAI AND SHE’S ALREADY PREPARING FOR IT! KASAI IS NOT MOVING IN A BIT, AND NIKKI HAS HER IN HER GRASP! NIKKI GETS HER KNEE UP AND READY, AND THIS COULD BE HER MOMENT!
Eve: KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!
Gavin Kirkland: TOUGH LUCK! KASAI DUCKS UNDER IT!… TRANSITIONING INTO A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD! ‘URAI’S CURSE’ BY KASAI! KASAI HAS HER!
Deadprez: Nikki is definitely on the verge of losing there! This is not going to end well for her!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE TAPS OUT! NIKKI IS DONE! KASAI WINS!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… KASAI!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s some heated pack full of action, isn’t it? Two Joshi wrestlers came down and pulled out some amazing stuff here. Isn’t that something we should all appreciate? Nikki making her debut with a tremendous match against KASAI here tonight as the second match of the night, and I mean wow, this girl already has potential in stock!
Eve: It’s a great match, no doubt, and both women have a fair share of skill when they go up against each other here tonight. Nikki has done great in her first EAW match and congrats KASAI for picking up a win against Nikki!
( ‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL plays as KASAI gets back to her feet, with the referee raising her hands high in the air while Nikki is still recovering from her first loss there. KASAI turns back around and helps Nikki up, and they shake each other’s hands as the crowd gives them a round of applause. KASAI taps Nikki’s back before Nikki makes her leave, and the final shot displays KASAI celebrating her win over Nikki before the scene fades into a commercial break. )
(As the camera returns from commercial break, the lights go out, suddenly “Devolution” by Starset begins to play as a lone spotlight shines on the entranceway. Jon Kelton with Londyn, Amir Yusuf and Pandora Paisley stand together in what seems to be a rotating platform on the floor, back to back. Both are looking down when Pandora lowers her sunglasses, raises her head up and starts to laugh. Amir spreads out his arms with a huge smile on his face, Jon Kelton raises the National Elite Championship as Londyn places her hand on his chest, before they a;; four step off and start to walk to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Please welcome at this time….. DEVOLUTION!!!
(The members of Devolution continue to make their way toward the ring, Pandora stops and gyrates some while Amir spins around and points to himself laughing. Jon stops and soaks up the jeers, Londyn leads them all forward.)
Deadprez: Here comes Devolution and they are set to face the ALL THREE of the Ice Aces at Midsummer Massacre in separate matches. We saw what happened, the attack on PJ Hendrix and he will not be medically cleared to wrestle in Nova Scotia.
Eve: But I don’t know if they expected it to be Ayu Megumi. The Ice Aces are reunited as Kennedy claimed. Then we have ARIA challenging for the National Elite Championship.
Gavin Kirkland: They are but this right here is the future, The Devolution!
(Londyn holds the ropes for Jon Kelton as Amir holds the ropes open for Pandora also, she steps in, Gina hands her the mic and walks out of the ring as their music dies down.)
Pandora Paisley: What I need right now is for all of you Frenchies to shut the hell up!
(The crowd in Quebec City boo even louder as she smiles. Amir shakes his head while Jon and Londyn pay them no attention.)
Pandora Paisley: Your claim to fame is Ryan Joseph Wilson who can’t win a match even in his homeland, the bloody wanker, so sit the fuck down!
(Cheers for Ryan Wilson scream out in the arena as Amir starts to laugh. Jon shakes his head and Pandora rolls her eyes. Londyn covers her ears.)
Pandora Paisley: Let’s get right to the point shall we? Usagi Senshi wanted to poke the bloody bear, she saw in my eyes that I held resentment toward her and much to her credit, she addressed it and challenged me. So, I accepted, but these days here on Showdown, people need to start realizing that if you challenge me, you challenge Devolution. PJ Hendrix came out, tried to get involved in his debut and look what happened to him. It was unfortunate but now it seems like we get ALL the Ice Aces.
(She hands over the mic to Amir.)
Amir Yusuf: There is no one that wanted PJ in this match more than me, I’m sure you can figure out why. But there is also the mentality of what is best for the few does not outweigh what is best for the many and truth be told, this guy can’t just waltz into OUR territory and think he can get his way? No. How many times have we said it already, Devolution runs Showdown, just ask anyone, the title this man wears is proof enough. But now we have little Ayu Megumi who wants to come to the rescue to save her friend, how sweet. Well now, she gets to feel what PJ felt, but let me make one thing perfectly clear, PJ, this is only the beginning to your problems with Devolution, trust us on that.
(Amir turns and then gives the mic to Jon Kelton.)
Jon Kelton: I need you people to simmer down when we are talking. I wish I could say shut the hell up in French but that is a garbage language anyway and no one needs to learn it.
(The decimals rise with boos as Jon Kelton smirks, Pandora smiles and Amir chuckles.)
Jon Kelton: Londyn, Pandora, Amir and I are still trying to figure out the benefits of this, but whatever. See, PJ Hendrix made one fatal flaw, he messed with Devolution… NAH UH! You don’t come into OUR house and take off your shoes, making yourself at home, that is how you get kicked the hell out! I know the press he got coming to Showdown and I get it, but THAT stops now. PJ will be dealt with in due time, but right now, it is all about the Ice Aces. ARIA…. Did you see what happened to PJ? Usagi and Ayu? For the longest time you three have been the “IT” group and we are about to establish that shit ends now on the first Marquee Event of the year. ARIA, you are supposed to be smart, but the question is, are you really? Challenging me for this title? Your girls challenging Amir and Pandora? At Midsummer Massacre all we are going to see is ……
(Suddenly “Pinky! Pinky! By LADYBABY starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd stands tall on their feet cheering. ARIA, Usagi Senshi and Ayu Megumi walk out. ARIA has a microphone in hand.)
ARIA: Looks like we have a reunion, Quebec City of the Ice Aces!
(The fans cheer loudly.)
ARIA: I know Jon…. We get it. PJ is a HUGE threat so you all took him out, but then didn’t really take into account that there are THREE Ice Aces and well, while Ayu is on Voltage, she definitely is still one of us. And come Midsummer Massacre, the Ice Aces will prevail!
(Usagi takes the mic…..)
Usagi Senshi: But…. I don’t see why we have to wait until the Midsummer Massacre….. why not do it now.
(Usagi flips the mic as they all three look at one another and dart to the ring.)
Deadprez: THE ICE ACES ARE CHARGING THE RING MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF THE DEVOLUTION! THEY SLIDE IN AND ALL SIX WRESTLERS ARE GOING AT IT!
(The crowd is roaring at the fight going on in the ring. Pandora and Usagi are punching each other. ARIA has Kelton in the corner, continuously kicking him as Amir is taking some right hands from Ayu. Londyn tries to pry ARIA away from Jon, but she pushes her off.)
Eve: ARIA KICKS OFF LONDYN, JON GOES FOR THE CLOTHESLINE BUT ARIA DUCKS AND SHE CLOTHESLINES JON OVER THE TOP ROPE INSTEAD! AYU DROPKICKS AMIR AND HE FLIES OUT THROUGH THE ROPES! PANDORA IS BY HERSELF AND SHE IS HIT WITH AN ENZINGUIRI BY USAGI AND THEN WALKS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK BY AYU AS THEY BOTH CLOTHESLINE PANDORA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE LANDS HARD ON THE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: THE ICES ACES ARE HERE ON SHOWDOWN COMPLETE! BUT HOW DARE THEY TOUCH MY HELLCAT!
(Pandora is helped up from the floor and Amir carries her back as Londyn pulls Jon away. Devolution is slowly heading to the back as Pandora screams at the ring. Ayu holds the ropes open, while Usagi screams for them to get back into the ring, ARIA too as the Ice Aces stand tall. “Pinky! Pinky! By LADYBABY starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd roars.)
Deadprez: THE ICE ACES STAND TALL AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THE DEVOLUTION HERE TONIGHT!
Eve: THEY DO AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!
Gavin Kirkland: THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE IN FOR!
(The scene slowly fades to a commercial break with the Ice Aces in the ring and Devolution backing away to the backstage area.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing as she is ready to make the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: This next contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“That Way” by Lil Uzi Vert starts playing as Amir Yusuf enters the arena to deafening boos from the crowd. Amir is followed closely behind by his girlfriend Pandora Paisley, which makes the jeers even louder. Neither of them care as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and accompanied by Pandora Paisley! Now residing in Chicago, Illinois! Representing DEVOLUTION! Weighing in at 182 pounds! Here is “THE REBORN” AMIR YUSUF!
Deadprez: Here comes Amir Yusuf as he gets ready for singles action and he looks a little worse for wear as we saw before the commercial break. He and Pandora took some huge hits from the Ice Aces. This is first match since his return to EAW back at Pain for Pride. Tonight, he is looking to get some momentum as he heads towards Midsummer Massacre next week.
Eve: As you can here, the fans still feel the same about Amir and Pandora as they did before. They still hate them both and they have a chance to continue Kennedy Street’s agenda in a tag team match at Midsummer Massacre.
Gavin Kirkland: They have a chance to further their cause in a tag team match that now features a reunion of sorts. Devolution will take on the Ice Aces as Usagi Senshi will now team with Ayu Megumi from Voltage. That’s next week. Tonight, he needs to focus on his opponent who is no pushover.
(Amir enters the ring and takes his corner as Pandora, who looks still upset about what happened earlier, takes her place at ringside before his entrance music fades off. A few seconds later, “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts playing as Lucas Johnson enters the arena to a more mixed reaction than usual as he heads right to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! From Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 204.5 pounds! Here is “THE EMPEROR OF VIOLENCE” LUCAS JOHNSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes a man with a lot of heart and fight as heads to the ring for this match with Amir Yusuf. Last week, Lucas got back on the winning track with a hard fought victory over Mattias Burke.
Eve: He did and he is looking to make it two in a row against a very tough… and not very like competitor in Amir. It will be a tough task but Lucas can certainly get the job done.
Deadprez: Lucas is a former New Breed Champion and he is taking on another former New Breed Champion in Amir Yusuf tonight. Lucas wants to get himself back in title contention and he could do it with a victory here tonight. Who will win? We are about to find out.
(Lucas enters the ring and takes his respective corner as his music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go. This match is underway between two former New Breed Champions. One looking for momentum towards Midsummer Massacre and the other wants to get himself back in the title hunt.
Eve: Both men lock up in the center of the ring and Lucas immediately falls back and takes Amir over and down to the mat. Amir gets back to his feet AND LUCAS IS THROWING FOREARMS INTO AMIR’S FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT LUCAS GO! I’m surprised with this flurry of offense from Lucas early on and he has Amir on the ropes as he backs Amir to the ropes. Amir is whipped to the ropes by Lucas and as he comes back, Lucas puts his head down for a back body drop–
Eve: AMIR KICKS LUCAS RIGHT IN THE SHOULDER AND THAT FLINGS LUCAS BACK! That’s before Amir grabs a handful of Lucas’ hair AND PULLS HIM BACK ACROSS HIS KNEE FOR A BACKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas’ spine goes right across Amir’s kneecap. Look at the intensity! This is what Kennedy Street and Devolution has done for Amir Yusuf.
Deadprez: It’s turned him into an underhanded fighter with a horrible attitude?
Gavin Kirkland: NO, PREZZY! It’s turned him into a cold and calculated competitor who will no doubt be a champion again in EAW. I guarantee it.
Deadprez: That’s because you would get to see more of Pandora Paisley if he’s a champion, but be that as it may, Amir has mounted Lucas AND HE IS JUST THROWING THOSE FISTS! LEFTS AND RIGHTS BY AMIR AND HE IS JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF LUCAS!
Eve: The referee is telling Amir to open up those fists before they start a count and that forces Amir to open the fists on four before risking disqualification on five. But that doesn’t stop Amir from pulling Lucas to his feet.
Deadprez: They are both back up and Amir picks Lucas up AND SLAMS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Amir gets himself into position before HE FLIPS BACK AND HITS LUCAS WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT! He hits it perfectly as he hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Eve: LUCAS KICKS OUT AT TWO! Amir still has control of the match as he once again pulls Lucas to his feet and whips him to the corner. Amir quickly follows AND CATCHES LUCAS WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the domination being shown by Amir Yusuf and that is why I believe Devolution will win at Midsummer Massacre. Amir is vicious and Pandora is delicious. Oh baby!
Eve: You are weird, Gavin, when you talk like that. But now’s not the time to talk about that because Amir has climbed up onto the turnbuckles and starts throwing more punches onto Lucas’ skull.
Crowd: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVE-
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL? LUCAS GRABS HOLD OF AMIR AND WALKS THEM BOTH OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE HE FALLS BACK AND SENDS AMIR FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Lucas showed right there the battle tested veteran instincts he had acquired during his career with that counter that sent Amir tasting the turnbuckle.
Gavin Kirkland: Amir comes stumbling out of the corner AND HE IS MET WITH AN UPPERCUT FROM LUCAS THAT CATCHES AMIR IN THE CHIN! BUT LOOK AT THE FIGHT FROM AMIR AS HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET AFTER THAT PUNCH!
Deadprez: Lucas is starting to build some momentum AS HE WHIPS AMIR TO THE ROPES, BUT AMIR MANAGES TO REVERSE IT AND SENDS LUCAS TO THE ROPES! Lucas comes back AND HE CLOBBERS AMIR WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
Eve: Amir is down now as Lucas grabs him around the waist AND LUCAS IS TAKING AMIR FOR A RIDE WITH THAT GATOR ROLL! AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND THEY GO! WHEN WILL THEY STOP? WHO KNOWS?
Deadprez: Amir is dizzy as hell as Lucas stops the Gator Roll and lets Amir go. Amir rolls his way to the ropes and Lucas quickly follows in order to bring Amir back into the ring, BUT AMIR CATCHES LUCAS’ HEAD AND HANGS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: Lucas staggered after that move holding his throat AS AMIR SPRINGS UP AND JUMPS FROM THE TOP ROPE AS HE CATCHES LUCAS AND BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A NICE HURRICANRANA!
Gavin Kirkland: Amir was looking to hook the leg for the cover, BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO REVERSE IT INTO A MODIFIED SUNSET FLIP, BUT AMIR ROLLS THROUGH BEFORE THE REF CAN START A COUNT!
Eve: Amir is back to his feet first AND HE HITS LUCAS RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A SUPERKICK! LUCAS GOT ALL OF IT AND IT COULD HAVE BROKEN LUCAS’ NOSE AS AMIR GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: LUCAS JOHNSON GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! That superkick came from out of nowhere and Lucas still kicks out. Most people would stay down after a kick like that.
Deadprez: Amir is tough, but Lucas knows the tricks of a veteran that Amir hasn’t acquired yet. But right now Amir whips Lucas to the corner AND FOLLOWS UP WITH A DROPKICK! DAMN! Amir quickly follows up by grabbing Lucas’ head and he climbs to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Amir knows many aerial maneuvers and that’s what makes him so dangerous. Amir is sitting on the top turnbuckle as he has lock on Lucas AND HE JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE GOES FOR A TORNADO DDT–
Deadprez: LUCAS GETS FREE AND TOSSES AMIR OFF OF HIM! AMIR GOES FLYING AND HE LANDS CHEST FIRST ON THE MAT! UGLY LANDING FOR AMIR! Now Lucas comes up and grabs Amir’s head and lifts him up for a suplex!
Eve: NOT A SUPLEX! LUCAS JUST DROPS DOWN AND SPIKES AMIR ON HIS HEAD WITH A BRAINBUSTER! AMIR WITH ANOTHER UGLY LANDING AND HE IS NOT MOVING!
Deadprez: Lucas is continuing on his attack and he grabs Amir’s leg AND LUCAS HAS AN ANKLE LOCK APPLIED! SUBMISSION MOVE APPLIED ON AMIR AND THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TO SEE IF AMIR GIVES THIS MATCH UP!
Eve: Smart move by Lucas as the more he weakens Amir’s ankle, the more of Amir’s offense he takes away. But that doesn’t mean that Amir isn’t already trying to think of a way to get free.
Gavin Kirkland: Under Kennedy’s guidance, Amir’s repertoire has increased exponentially. He probably knows every move in the book by now. But right now, Amir needs to think of a way to get out of the ankle lock.
Eve: Amir tried to grab the ropes to break the hold, BUT LUCAS JUST PULLS HIM RIGHT BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! LUCAS STILL HAS THAT SUBMISSION IN DEEP AS AMIR IS TRYING TO GET FREE!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT AMIR FIGHT THROUGH THE SUBMISSION! AMIR HAS MADE IT BACK TO HIS FEET! AMIR IS HOPPING ON ONE FOOT BEFORE LEAVES HIS FEET AND CATCHES LUCAS IN THE TEMPLE WITH A STEP UP ENZUIGIRI!
Deadprez: That shot staggers Lucas but lets Amir get free from the submission. Amir is still feeling the ankle lock a bit, but he is still quick enough to take Lucas down with a Swinging Neckbreaker.
Gavin Kirkland: Devolution at its finest showing how resourceful they can be. Amir is on his feet and Pandora has been cheering Amir on the entire match as Amir drags Lucas over to the corner AND AMIR CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP!
Deadprez: High rent district for Amir Yusuf as he finds his balance on the top turnbuckle BEFORE HE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HE HITS LUCAS WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS! WHAT A MOVE FROM AMIR AS HE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEE!
Eve: I DON’T BELIEVE IT! LUCAS JOHNSON KICKS OUT AT TWO! I THOUGHT THIS MATCH WOULD BE OVER AFTER THAT SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Deadprez: I thought the same thing and Amir thought it was over too because he looks pissed that Lucas has managed to survive this long. Amir looks like he’s about to blow a gasket as he gets to his feet.
Eve: Well during that time that Amir was about to have a breakdown, Lucas got enough strength to roll out to the apron to catch a breather.
Gavin Kirkland: Amir quickly follows him over to the ropes and brings Lucas back to his feet. Amir has a facelock on Lucas and HE TRIES TO BRING LUCAS BACK INTO THE RING WITH A SUPLEX–
Eve: BUT LUCAS BLOCKS IT AND LANDS BACK ON THE APRON! Amir lets Lucas go AND STRAIGHT PUNCHES LUCAS IN THE FACE! WHAT A PUNCH!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Lucas is dazed and Amir tries to suplex Lucas into the ring once again. Lucas is in the air this time, BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM TO TRY AND BLOCK THE SUPLEX AGAIN!
Deadprez: AMIR BACKS LUCAS AWAY FROM THE ROPES, BUT THAT MIGHT HAVE BACKFIRED AS LUCAS QUICKLY SHIFTS HIS WEIGHT AND COUNTERS THE SUPLEX WITH A DDT!!
Gavin Kirkland: Amir got spiked on his head again and Lucas drags Amir over to the top rope once again and Lucas looks to climb to the top rope. Honestly, I don’t think the high risk and high flying moves are Lucas’ forte.
Deadprez: Lucas finds his balance on the top rope AND DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND AS HE JUMPS FROM THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR THE MOONSAULT ON AMIR–
Eve: AMIR ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET WHEN HE HITS THE RING! IT WAS ALMOST LIKE LUCAS EXPECTED AMIR TO MOVE!
Deadprez: Amir is right back to his feet and HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A JAB FROM LUCAS JOHNSON! BODY SHOTS BY THIS TECHNICAL MACHINE AS HE TURNS AMIR INTO HIS OWN PERSONAL PUNCHING PRACTICE!
Eve: Lucas is trying to go for another uppercut, BUT AMIR MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, BUT IT DIDN’T WORK AS LUCAS APPLIES A FULL NELSON AND STEPS OVER TO THE SIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Amir might be in trouble right here as Lucas pulls Amir back BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM FORWARD AT FULL POWER AND AMIR GETS PLANTED WITH THAT SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!
Eve: Amir kisses the canvas after that move and Amir might be out cold. Amir is in trouble as Lucas once again drags Amir over to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: If at first you don’t succeed, try again. That’s exactly what he’s doing as he climbs up to the top rope one more time. Lucas finds his balance as he looks down at Amir–
Deadprez: LUCAS COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THAT CORKSCREW AND HE HITS A BEAUTIFUL RED ARROW FROM THE TOP ROPE! HOLY CRAP WHAT A MOVE FROM LUCAS JOHNSON! THIS COULD FINISH THE MATCH RIGHT HERE AS LUCAS HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: OH WHAT A NEAR FALL! AMIR JUST BARELY GOT SHOULDER POWERED OFF THE CANVAS AS THE REFEREE WAS COMING DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT! THERE YOU GO, AMIR! GET BACK IN THIS MATCH!
Deadprez: This has been an amazing match. Amir is barely moving as Lucas is now getting in position in the hopes of finishing Amir Yusuf off and picking up a huge victory tonight on Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: AMIR IS GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE MIGHT BE WALKING RIGHT INTO A TRAP BY LUCAS JOHNSON. AMIR IS UP AND LUCAS GOES FOR “THE BLUEPRINT” RKO STYLE CUTTER–
Eve: BUT AMIR MANAGES TO GET FREE OF THE CUTTER AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! LUCAS LANDS ON HIS FEET AND AMIR GRABS A HANDFUL OF HAIR THAT PULLS LUCAS INTO AN INVERTED FACELOCK! AMIR WITH A DEVILISH GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE ROLLS FORWARD–
Deadprez: AND AMIR PLANTS HIM WITH “WHEN REALITY HITS”! ROLLING CUTTER BY AMIR AND LUCAS WAS SPIKED ON HIS HEAD! DID REALITY ABOUT THIS MATCH UNFORTUNATELY JUST HIT FOR LUCAS AS AMIR GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“That Way” starts playing again as Amir rolls off of Lucas as the crowd starts to heavily boo before Gina announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… AMIR YUSUF!!
Deadprez: This was a great match that we just watched right now. Both competitors looked really good in this match, but it was Devolution’s Amir Yusuf who pulled out the victory here tonight on Showdown.
(The referee tries to raise Amir’s arm in victory, but Pandora shoves the referee out of the way. The referee doesn’t tread the water and they go back to check on Lucas. Seconds later, Pandora pulls in Amir and starts kissing him in the middle of the ring.)
Eve: Oh good gawd. Give her back her tongue, Amir. That is disgusting. Get a room, you sickos.
Gavin Kirkland: What are you talking about? Pandora is HOT! I wish she would do that to me!
Eve: You disgust me sometimes.
(After a brief makeout session that caused the crowd to boo louder, stop and laugh at Lucas, who is still down, before they leave the ring and head up the entrance ramp.)
Deadprez: The crowd is absolutely showing their disdain for Pandora and Amir as they are hoping that they get the ever loving shit beat out of them by Usagi and Ayu next week. But it won’t take away from the fact that Amir is a winner here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, I love Devolution, but I can give Lucas Johnson a lot of credit. He has been written off many times during his time in EAW, but he really took it to Amir tonight and showed why he is always a threat in the ring.
Deadprez: Lucas fought hard, but it was not meant to be as Amir Yusuf picks up the win as he and Pandora Paisley meet the Ice Aces in a No Disqualification match at Midsummer Massacre, which is what it might exactly be… a MASSACRE. Regardless, congratulations to Amir for his victory tonight.
(The final shot shows Pandora and Amir at the top of the entrance ramp looking down to the ring and laughing at Lucas as Lucas is sitting in the ring feeling frustrated as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(We cut away to Kennedy Street’s office, Veena Adams stood outside. She knocks and hears Kennedy’s voice asking her to come in and so she enters. As she walks in, she immediately see’s Kennedy sat in her chair, but surprisingly Heidi Huxley is in attendance as well. This makes her even more dubious as to the reason she has been summoned to the office, and before Kennedy can speak, Veena takes the initiative.)
Veena Adams: Why do you want me here?
(Kennedy just smiles, but Heidi is far more affected by the lack of respect.)
Heidi Huxley: No matter how you are feeling Veena, you do not speak to your General Manager with that amount of disrespect.
(Before Veena can respond, Kennedy raises a hand.)
Kennedy Street: Come on now, let’s keep this amicable. And anyway, I’m sure Veena didn’t mean any disrespect did you honey?
(Veena doesn’t say a word, her eyes just narrowing in the direction of Heidi.)
Kennedy Street: Look Honey, Kennie hears everything. My roster cannot even let off wind without me knowing about it and that is why I am the best General Manager in this company, I miss nothing. So, when I heard you saying that you no longer wanted to be on Showdown, and that you felt that you were robbed by Devolution and I’d done nothing about it, it hurt Kennie Honey, it really did.
Veena Adams: Kennedy…
(Kennedy held up a hand, she wasn’t going to be interrupted that was for sure.)
Kennedy Street: Especially as none of it was true.
Veena Adams: It was all true… it’s all out there for everyone to see.
Kennedy Street: Oh, not Devolution, that happened for sure. What I am saying is that I WAS going to do something about it, but then events took a turn. I was going to name you the challenger to Jon Kelton at Midsummer Massacre, in fact I had the contract written out and everything, but then Madison Kaline came out, and her challenge was accepted. How can that be my fault?
(Veena doesn’t respond, because now this all sounded like rubbish.)
Kennedy Street: And another thing, how can you come in here and say I don’t have your back, when you are just coming off the best season of your career, a season that was entirely under my control?
Veena Adams: It wasn’t right Kennedy, and you know it.
(Kennedy shrugs her shoulders, caring very little for that comment.)
Kennedy Street: You know what Honey, no it probably wasn’t right. And the outcome probably wasn’t to your satisfaction. But what you, and many others need to realize is that I’m not here to mollycoddle or babysit the roster. I’m here to take care of business, and to make money. When I saw you, I knew that Veena Adams with Gold around her waist would be good business, and I saw the dollar signs. But I’ll tell you what I have told countless others, everyone isn’t out to get you, and especially not Kennie. You control your career, not me… well to an extent anyway.
Veena Adams: No Kennedy, I’m not falling for it. YOUR creation did this, YOURS. And now you are the one who should fix it…
(The door opens, and Veena turns to face Madison Kaline who has just walked in. Veena giving her a real look of disdain.)
Madison Kaline: I knew I could smell something from the corridor.
Veena Adams: Nose too near your ass I, bitch?
Kennedy Street: Ladies, now come on play nice.
Madison Kaline: Why? I mean why center Showdown around this wannabe. She’s nothing more than a spoiled brat.
(Kennedy is about to respond, but Madison is far from finished.)
Madison Kaline: You know as well as anyone that this brand should be centered around a legend. Someone capable of taking this company to greater heights. This company should be centered around me.
(Veena scoffs and doesn’t attempt to stifle her laughter but Madison ignores her.)
Madison Kaline: And besides, we need more help around here. Todd just doesn’t cut it. Where are MY demands, where is my Fiji water?
(Kennedy tilts her head, obviously not taking Madison’s comments well.)
Kennedy Street: Now hold on…
(Veena interjects.)
Venna Adams: Leave this to me Kennedy.
(Kennedy scowls, wondering what is happening next, as Veena walks over to Kennedy’s bar, and picks up a bottle of Fiji water, and unscrews the lid as she walks back. She then holds out the water to Madison.)
Veena Adams: Here…
(Madison smiles.)
Madison Kaline: See, even Veena is starting to get it.
(As Madison goes to take the bottle, Veena lifts it and pours the contents over Madison’s head, leaving her drenched, before then dropping the bottle to the floor and storming out. Madison stands there in absolute shock, both Kennedy and Heidi smirking, turning Madison’s shock to anger.)
Kennedy Street: Well Honey, you did ask for Fiji Water
(It is in the drenched imagination of Madison Kaline that the scene fades down to the ring.)
(Kamikaze by RedHook plays as Daryl Kinkade comes out to a chorus of boos. He smiles at the boos scanning around the arena before ignoring them on his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND….WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS.. HE IS “THE KINK OF ELITE”….DARRYYLLL KINNKKADDEEE!!!!
Deadprez: And here comes the number one contender to the Answers World Championship. We’ve heard all he has had to say since arriving on Showdown and it’s almost time for the talking to be over. He looks to make a statement here tonight before getting his next chance at getting over that hump and winning his first World championship and you just know Adam Lucas has a close eye on this wherever he is.
(“What The Dead Men Say” by Trivium plays as Delilah Rose makes her way out onto the stage with a serious look on her face, not happy after what happened last week just focused on the task at hand which is victory.
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM ESSEX, ENGLAND…WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE FINAL BOSS”….DELLILLAAHHH ROOSSEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: Here comes one of our most promising talents and you can just tell she’s not in the best of moods either how last week went with Caroline and the mind games she has been playing. You have to wonder if that will be weighing on her mind in this match tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: I think so but at the same time I think she knows how important a win over Daryl is and how big it could be for her to not let it distract her from that goal.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gavin Kirkland: The referee calls for the bell am here we –
(The lights flicker out in the arena before immediately switching back on, with Delilah clearly looking uneasy before refocusing her attention on Daryl.)
Eve: That was a bit odd, but I think we can put the puzzle pieces together on who that was but Delilah has to stay focused here against an opponent like Daryl Kinkade. They circle the ring waiting for the other to make the first move before finally locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up, but break apart after only a few seconds after neither could get the advantage over the other. AND DARYL TRIES TO THROW A CHEAPSHOT RIGHT HANDED JAB TO THE FACE!! But Delilah ducked it and delivers a hard knife edge chop across the chest of Daryl before hitting a second one, and then stands third one as Daryl stumbles back into the corner and Delilah begins to target his body with several shots to the lower body and ribs as Daryl is holding back trying to get away from her, and the referee steps in warning Delilah to create some separation forcing Delilah to break the hold.
Deadprez: But only for a second as she moves him out of the way and goes to punch Daryl again, but Daryl gets his foot up and drives it into the face of Delilah before hopping up on the second turnbuckle right behind him and grabs ahold of her head…AND DARYL SPIKES HER HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH THE SPINNING TORNADO DDT BEFORE GOING FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCHUP!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Eve: And there’s a kick out from Delilah! Daryl looks to go back on the offense as he puts her in a chinlock on the mat! Daryl then transitions into a headlock putting as much pressure on it as he can as Delilah tries getting up to a vertical base. She gets up to a knee and then drives her elbow into his midsection before throwing him to the ropes as he rebounds off ..AND DELILAH HITS A HIP TOSS! Daryl rolls out of the ring looking to take a small breather…AND HERE COMES DELILAH WHO RUNS AND DELIVERS A SUICIDE DIVE THAT DRIVES DARYL BACK FIRST INTO THE APRON! Delilah feels all the momentum on her side now as she throws Daryl back inside the ring as she hops up on the apron and climbs up to the top turnbuckle next to her…AND SHE STANDS UP TALL AND GOES FOR A MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP…BUT NOBODY HOME AS DARYL MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!
Deadprez: Daryl moved out of the way just in nick of time as he rolls away and pulls himself up in the corner eyeing up Delilah who stirs back up to one knee…AND DARYL RUNS AND DELIVERS A STEP UP ENZIGURI TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD!
(Daryl taunts the crowd by posing in the ring as the crowd rains down boos on him.)
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl finally looks to go back on the attack by picking Delilah up by her head, BUT DELILAH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND LOCKS IN THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION!! Daryl took his eye off the ball a bit too long and now he might be in a dangerous spot here as Delilah made him pay for it! Daryl is trying with all he’s got to crawl over and grab the bottom rope but Delilah is making him earn every inch. Daryl is inching closer and closer as Delilah wrenches back on the crossface…CAN HE GET THERE…YES HE DOES!!! Daryl grabs the bottom rope forcing the break as Delilah lets go and tries dragging him by the feet back to the center of the ring, but Daryl uses his feet and shoves her back into the corner…AND OH MY! Delilah’s head whiplashed pretty hard there as Daryl stirs back to his feet.
Eve: Delilah is in the corner holding her neck as Daryl is back up and runs full speed at her in the corner…AND HE LEAPS AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO HER CHEST, AND THEN FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP AS DELILAH LANDS BACK FIRST IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! Daryl looks to keep this flurry of momentum rolling as he steps through the second rope and ascends up to the top turnbuckle, WHAT DOES HE HAVE IN MIND HERE?….AND DARYL GOES FOR A SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE TOP AND IT CONNECTS!!! A PICTURE PERFECT SHOOTING STAR AS DARYL NOW HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Delilah gets the shoulder up at two and a half! And now Daryl doesn’t waste any time in going back on the attack and now begins to drive his fists into her face repeatedly before getting her up and looks to be going for a suplex, but Delilah is trying to fight back as she blocks it with her foot! Delilah throws several shots to the ribs before…DELILAH DELIVERS A SNAP SUPLEX!
Eve: Delilah hit that out of nowhere as Daryl pulls himself up in the corner…AND DELILAH RUNS AND HITS A RUNNING KNEE BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! Delilah runs over to the corner and hops up and stands up the second turnbuckle looking down on Daryl…
(The arena lights flicker off and on once again.)
Gavin Kirkland: There it is again! I’m starting to think that these are no accidents. :lupe:
Deadprez: Looks like Delilah doesn’t think so either, but she turns her attention back to Daryl…BUT DARYL POPS UP AND RUNS UP MEETING HER ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND HITS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!! That distraction from the arena lights gave Daryl a window and ge capitalized on it as he looks to be the one in control of this match now as he stands up and begins to stalk her from behind….AND DARYL RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HITS “MONKE FLIP!!!” THE FRONT FLIP DDT SPIKES HER HEAD INTO THE MAT AS DARYL JUMPS ON TOP FOR THE COVER AND THE WIN! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT DELILAH AWAY?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Eve: NO IT’S NOT AS DELILAH GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! You can start to see some frustration setting in on Daryl now as he picks her up and…DARYL LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE”….BUT DELILAH PUSHES HIM BACK BEFORE DARYL WALKS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK THAT DROPS HIM LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!!! Both Daryl and Delilah are down now as they crawl to opposite ends of the ring and pull themselves up using the ropes before turning around to face one another….AND A UPPERCUT FROM DARYL! AND THEN A KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM DELILAH! BOTH OF THEM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER TRYING TO GET THE UPPER HAND!
Deadprez: Another knife edge chop from Delilah before Daryl takes a swing at the head but she ducks it before pulling him in and delivering a ripcord knee strike across the bridge of the nose before turning him around….AND THEN DELILAH DELIVERS A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! Delilah rolls under the bottom rope and makes her way up to the top rope, will she succeed this time from the top….YES SHE DOES AS SHE DELIVERS A LEAPING ELBOW DROP TO THE HEART OF DARYL!! She still isn’t going for the cover as she begins to stalk Daryl like a predator goes to its prey. Daryl stirs back up to one knee ..AND DELILAH RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS “KISS GOODNIGHT!!!” THE SHINING WIZARD RIGHT TO THE FACE AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG! IS SHE GOING TO PULL OFF THE UPSET?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: AND DARYL STAYS ALIVE AS HE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! Now it’s Delilah thinking of what to do next in order to put this match away. She stands up and is pretty much begging him to stand back up, what does she have in mind here?…AND DELILAH RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE LOOKING TO HIT DARYL WITH “A SINGLE TEAR” SPRINGBOARD CUTTER – BUT OH MY GOD!!! DARYL DELIVERS A STEP UP KNEE TO THE FACE IN MID AIR!!! DELILAH MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl backs into the corner shaking the cobwebs out before seeing Delilah in a vulnerable spot and looks to take advantage by running up….AND HE HOOKS THE ARMBAND FLIPS OVER AND BRIDGES!!! DARYL HAS “CATCH 22” LOCKED IN AS DELILAH IS IN A PANIC ON WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW! IS DELILAH GOING TO HAVE TO TAP OUT? DELILAH THOUGH IS TRYING TO DRAG HERSELF OVER TO THE ROPES AS SHE IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY AND REACHES HER FREE HAND OUT TO TRY AND GRAB IT BUT IT STILL ABOUT A FOOT AWAY AS DARYL LOOKS TO TRY AND PULL THE ARM OUT OF THE SOCKET! DELILAH IS CLOSE….AND WITH ONE FINAL LUNGE SHE REACHES OUT AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE FORCING THE BREAK!
Eve: Daryl let’s go and thinks of what to do next before dragging her by her feet away from the ropes and slowly picking her up by her head….AND DELILAH WAS PERHAPS PLAYING POSSUM THERE AS SHE CATCHES DARYL WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: DID SHE GET HIM?! NO IT WAS ONLY A TWO COUNT AS THEY BOTH RACE TO THEIR FEET AND DARYL GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT DELILAH DUCKS IT AND RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES GOING FOR “A SINGLE TEAR” FOR A SECOND TIME…AND IT CONNECTS!!! THE SPRINGBOARDS CUTTER DROPS DARYL AS DELILAH FLIPS DARYL ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: AND DARYL KICKS OUT AGAIN!! Now Delilah thinks of what to do next again as she slowly picks Daryl up from the front…AND SHE GETS HIM IN PRIME POSITION BETWEEN THE LEGS AND HOOKS BOTH OF THE ARMS GOING FOR “THE FINAL EPISODE!!” – BUT DARYL SPINS OUT OF IT BEFORE DELIVERING AN ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AS DELILAH DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AND DARYL BACKS UP A FEW FEET…AND HE DELIVERS A SHINING WIZARD OF HIS OWN TO DELILAH’S FACE!! We are back at square one between the both of them here as they are both down.
Eve: Daryl rolls away and picks himself up near the ropes and eyes Delilah who is stirring on the opposite side and he charges at her like a bat out of hell, but Delilah counters it with a back body drop sending him flying over the top rope – BUT SHE IS UNAWARE THAT HE HELD ON TO THE APRON!! Delilah turns around and walks into yet another enziguri kick this time as Daryl was standing on the apron! Delilah drops down to a knee once more as Daryl now….DARYL SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DRILLS DELILAH WITH A TORNADO DDT!! DARYL MIGHT HAVE HER EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTS HER AS HE QUICKLY GETS HER UP OFF THE MAT AND GETS HER IN POSITION….”HAIL TO THE VICTOR”!!! THE PUMPHANDLE PILEDRIVER AND DARYL GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: AND DELILAH STAYS ALIVE!! Delilah just barely staying alive as this match continues on and Daryl is in disbelief that wasn’t enough to put her away. Daryl stands up and now begins to stomp away at the body of Delilah who is trying her best to cover up. And now Daryl picks her up and begins to hammer away at her back before trying to go for “A Beautiful Lie” for a second time…AND DELILAH ESCAPES IT FOR A SECOND TIME AS SHE DRIVES HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER! Delilah delivers several shots to the face and lower body before sitting him up on the top rope and goes up with him looking to go for a superplex!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S TRYING TO GO FOR THE SUPERPLEX BUT DARYL IS FIGHTING BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE AND NOW IT’S A BATTLE FOR CONTROL ON THE TOP AS THEY ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS WITH THE OTHER BACK AND FORTH!! AND OH MY!! DARYL LOOKS TO HAVE TAKEN THE CONTROL BACK WITH A VICIOUS HEADBUTT, AND THEN LEAPS OVER AND DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP BEFORE STACKING DELILAH UP FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: AND DELILAH AGAIN SOMEHOW KICKS OUT!! Daryl again thinks of what to do next before rolling under the bottom rope and begins to ascend up the top rope looking to go high risk once more. Daryl stands up top and looks down at Delilah again…AND DARYL GOES FOR THE SHOOTING STAR FOR A SECOND TIME….AND HE DOESN’T HAVE THE SAME LUCK HE DID THE FIRST TIME AS DELILAH GOT HER KNEES UP DRIVING THEM INTO HIS STOMACH!! Will that end up costing Daryl here is the question as Delilah stands up – AND DARYL WALKS RIGHT INTO THE “SUN KILLER!!!” THE FALLSWAY MOONSAULT SLAM – AND SHE DOESN’T STOP THERE AS SHE DELIVERS A SHOOTING STAR OF HER OWN AS HE HITS A STANDING SHOOTING STAR!!!
Deadprez: Daryl is in some serious trouble here as Delilah now….DELILAH LOCKS HIM IN THE INVERTED CLOVERLEAF SUBMISSION!!! DELILAH BENDING HIS BODY IN HALF AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE HE JUST TOOK AND NOW HAS NOWHERE TO GO! Daryl now is beginning to crawl his way over to the ropes and he reaches out …BUT DELILAH DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! IS DARYL GOING TO HAVE TO TAP OUT HERE? DARYL AGAIN BEGINS TO CRAWL AND REACH OUT BUT DOES HE HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THERE….YES HE DOES AS DARYL REACHES OUT AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! Delilah lets go of the cloverleaf and backs up taking a deep breath before beginning to measure up Daryl as he slowly stumbles back up to his feet. Delilah looks to put this match away here…
(The lights once again in the arena flicker. Delilah at this point is irritated, demanding for Caroline to show herself. The lights soon go back to normal as she tries turning her focus back over to Daryl who is standing in the corner.)
Deadprez: Delilah looks to not have those mind games get in her head as she turns her attention back over to Daryl and runs at him with a full head of steam looking for a splash in the corner – BUT NOBODY HOME AS DARYL SIDESTEPS OUT OF THE WAY, AND THEN DELIVERS A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS DELILAH FALLS DOWN TO BOTH KNEES, AND DARYL RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS HARD AS HE CAN! Daryl looks to put the finishing touches on this one as he picks her up off the mat – AND DARYL GOES FOR “HAIL TO THE VICTOR” FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH….BUT DELILAH COUNTERS IT TRANSITIONING IT INTO AN ARM DRAG SOMEHOW! Daryl is back up and charges at her once more…BUT DELILAH SIDE STEPS AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! DELILAH PULLS HIM OUT FROM THE CORNER AND ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: AND DARYL STAYS ALIVE JUST BARELY!! Both of them stand up at the exact same time before running into a double clothesline on one another! What a match between two of the best Showdown has to offer as we are back at square one between the two of them again with both of them down. It’s just a matter of who can get up to their feet first here.
Deadprez: They both begin to stir and get to their knees at the same time…A RIGHT HAND FROM DELILAH! AND THEN DARYL RETALIATES WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE! RIGHT HAND! FOREARM! BOTH OF THEM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER AS THEY BOTH BEGIN TO STAND UP AT THE EXACT SAME TIME…AND DARYL TRIES TO GO FOR A SUPERKICK, BUT DELILAH CATCHES THE FOOT! DELILAH FLIPS HIM BACKWARDS BUT HE SOMEHOW LANDS OF HIS FEET…AND DELILAH WAS WAITING ON HIM AS SHE DELIVERS A STEP UP KNEE TO THE NOSE AND NOW DARYL IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS NOT KNOWING WHERE HE IS…..AND DELILAH RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HITS HIM WITH HER “KISS GOODNIGHT” SHINING WIZARD AGAIN!!! AND HERE’S ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: DARYL GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! Frustration now is setting on Delilah now as she stands up thinking of her next move. Daryl is very slowly starting to stir..MIND DELILAH RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES LOOKING TO HIT “A SINGLE TEAR” – BUT THE LIGHTS JUST WENT OUT AGAIN!!! DELILAH IS CLEARLY IRRITATED AS THEY COME BACK ON AGAIN AND SHE CONTINUES WHAT SHE WAS DOING AS SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECO ROPE ONCE MORE…..BUT DARYL JUST DRILLED HER IN MID AIR WITH THE SUPERKICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Holy hell that came out of nowhere from Daryl as he begins to stalk her from.behind as she slowly stumbles back up to her feet…..AND DARYL GETS HER IN POSITION FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE”….AND IT FINALLY CONNECTS!!!! THE CROSS LEGGED FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS AS DARYL HOOKS THE LEG!! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT DELILAH AWAY?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Kamikaze – RedHook plays as the crowd rains down the boos on Daryl. He stands up and soaks in the negative reaction while getting his hand raised in victory.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….DARRRYYLLLL KIINNKKAADDDEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: And it’s Daryl who picks up the big win tonight against a very game Delilah Rose. You can tell by the look on his face he was in a war here tonight. Makes you think if tonight was hard, imagine how hard it will be against Adam Lucas at Midsummer Massacre if he wants to win his first World championship.
(Daryl exits the arena celebrating his win before his theme fades and we see Delilah getting checked on inside the ring by the referee.)
Eve: You have to wonder tonight if all those times the lights flickered during the match got into her head tonight which ended up costing her in the end. She seemed more and more angry each time it happened. Looks like it gave Daryl that split second to recover in the closing moments.
(The lights go out before turning purple and dark blue. The crowd knows what is about to happen. Several seconds later, Caroline appears in front of Delilah who is laid out. Caroline has a smile on her face.)
(Halsey Neel enters the ring behind Caroline carefully to not give her any suspicion and attacks her from behind.)
Eve: The third piece of this puzzle is here and she is attacking Caroline viciously…BUT CAROLINE IS FIGHTING BACK AS SHE HITS A STEP UP KNEE THAT DRIVES HALSEY BACK INTO THE CORNER! LOOK!!! LOOK!!! DELILAH IS UP AND TURNS CAROLINE AROUND AND DRILLS HER WITH “THE FINAL EPISODE!!!!”
Deadprez: AND NOW HALSEY RUNS UP BEHIND DELILAH AND HITS HER WITH “THE FALL!!!”
Eve: A lot of chaos that just ensued here. Will this berthed final scene come Midsummer Massacre?
(The final shot is of Halsey standing over both of them as it fades to a commercial break.)
(Showdown quickly faded back from commercials and right now the lights were out for a moment as it seemed things were being prepared and something…special was going to happen. But then, all of the sudden, a spotlight shined down right on the ring and everyone looked over in a confused manner, as a very elegant and sharp dressed man was standing there with a yellow and blue suit, he had a card on his left hand and a microphone on his right. Behind him, there was a set of perfectly crafted cardboard cutouts that resembled that of a castle, knights and tables with tea on them, and of course a red carpet covering the whole ring and seemingly went up the ramp. And weirdly, in the middle, there was a small marble pedestal where at the top of it there was a red pillow, and on the pillow rested an incredible looking crown that was adorned with many shiny and expensive jewels. The crowd didn’t really know how to react when they saw that but the well dressed man quickly brought up to his mouth the microphone and began speaking up.)
Well-Dressed Man: LADIES…AND GENTLEMEN! I hope all of you are having a wonderful night tonight here in Showdown, because it will be made into one you will never forget, for right now I will present to you one of the most beautiful, one of the most recognizable, one of the most pretty and attractive women in the all of EAW, with the voice of an angel and a heart full of gold, I present to you right now, the one, and ONLY…PRINCESS CANDICE!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole (Clean Version)’ began to play on the speakers and it was very clear now who was responsible for doing all of this, who else could it be? As her music hit, the stage lit up with a light pink color and the name of Princess Candice appeared in the titantron covered in gold and sparkles as Candice now gracefully walked out wearing an entire princess get-up, wearing a short white ball gown, alongside white opera gloves and high heels and of top of all of that, very expensive jewelry. The reaction was slightly mixed, with some of the crowd cheering as they got won over by Candice’s beauty but the rest of them were booing very loudly seeing her do, in honesty, a very unnecessary princess ceremony. But of course she simply took it in all of the cheers herself, looking around with sparkles in her eyes and doing a royal wave to all of the fans.)
(Oh, but she wasn’t done yet at all! She took a step back and stretched her arms out to the ramp that was still covered in darkness and the rest of the lights lit up, as in the ramp, there were standing various Disney Princesses! Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan and so much more. Candice then walked down the ramp greeting every Disney Princess she saw in her way and letting them accompany her as off to the side at ringside, Heidi Huxley held a tablet and was using one of those hand free devices to speak with someone.)
Heidi Huxley: (off-mic) Yes, yes, I got the cardboard cutouts, the well-dressed announcer, the carpet, all of the Disney Princesses, and what about the dress and crown Candice got?…THEY COST 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS?! Ah whatever, we are Disney, we can pay for that…IT IS COMING FROM MY OWN POCKET??? What do you mean I have to pay for it? Why can’t Disney pay for what I am doing?…They are using the money for something else? Well maybe they should actually use it to pay the writers and actors they have-Hello? HELLOOOOOO? UGH!
(Heidi hung up the call and she simply stood off in the corner, incredibly angry while Candice did her entrance. Deadprez cracked up slightly seeing Heidi’s predicament over in the announcement desk, but as she turned and gave him a death glare he quickly dropped the smile and got to work.)
Deadprez: Right uhhh…interesting thing we got going on right now? It seems Candice is trying to…make a very bold statement, don’t you think, Eve?
Eve: As bold as a statement can get Deadprez, Candice is going to fight Ashlynn Quinn at Midsummer Massacre after an argument where the two women fought over who was the prettiest woman out of the two, and it seems Candice is giving it her all to prove she is the prettiest here throwing a whole…Princess Ceremony. What do you think, Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: https://media.tenor.com/Pwrk1IKnfKMAAAAC/sanji-heart-eyes.gif
Eve: Yeah, I didn’t expect anything less to be honest.
(The well-dressed announcer quickly sat down in the ropes and made the way for Candice to enter much easier as she carefully climbed up the steps, did a little curtsy to show off and then she entered through the ropes while walking around the ring and continuing to wave to her “subjects”, as she finally stood in the middle of the ring in front of the pedestal, the announcer gave Candice the microphone just as her music died down and she had the biggest smile she could ever have at this moment as she quickly spoke up.)
Candice Blair: HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL SUBJECTS! It is such a pleasure to meet all of you right here on my coronation!!! 🥰
(The crowd booed loudly this time as Candice basically called them subjects and she simply nodded happily like she was hearing something completely different and she continued talking.)
Candice Blair: Yes, yes, it is also very good to see all of you, because right now it feels like a dream come true for me right now, being crowned princess right in the middle of the ring in another of my dream jobs, and for the first time in forever, I am going to be crowned as PRINCESS CANDICE! I know, I know, I won’t technically be considered actual royalty or anything like that but I always wanted to check off my bucket list, be the main character of a coronation, and here I am! And besides, I did all of this to very much one-up Ashlynn, she thinks she is the prettiest woman around on this roster and she believes she has the right to insult me like that? Sorry dear, you are almost there, but not quite enough, because you can’t compete with the original EAW Barbie, the best Barbie, the one above all Barbies, Fashion, Singer, Wrestler, Activist Barbie, and of course, this Barbie is a PRINCESS!…backed up by Disney, duh.
Candice Blair: And you just can’t live up to something like that, as I already said before, I am going to rip your head off like I did with my barbie dolls while I was little, you are just going to have to let it go, let go off the belief that you will be able to beat me and prove to be a better wrestler and a better Barbie than me, because when we get in that ring at Midsummer Massacre, I am going to make a woman out of you, I am going to show how much of a poor unfortunate soul you are and it will be a whole new world where no fake Barbies like Ashlynn belong in it, and hopefully she would have learned how to not be up Veena’s ass 24/7 and she actually starts using the rest of her brain cells instead of one. Anyway, make way for Princess Candice, say hey, it’s Prince Candice! Let’s start this coronation already! A princess isn’t complete without a crown in her head so if you will excuse me.
(Candice quickly put the microphone down in the ground and she stood completely still with a smile on her face as the well dressed announcer quickly picked up the crown and slowly but surely, began to lower it down to Candice’s head but just before it was put on her, ‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa hits the speakers and everyone turns towards the stage in a confused manner, the titantron turns a dark pink with Ashlyn Quinn’s name being shown in Barbie style font before suddenly from the side of the stage, a Pink Corvette drives through at fast speeds and quickly parks in the middle of the stage, the person driving the car was a blonde tanned dude wearing a sweater tied over his neck Ken style and he looked incredibly similar to Ryan Gosling, but the other person sitting besides him was obviously Ashlynn. The crowd mostly booed as she made her entrance but she quickly stood up on her seat as they stopped and she posed as she showed her Barbie inspired outfit with very bright pink all over, as she looked like an almost exact copy of Margot Robbie’s Barbie in the movie. Heidi looked super confused as she saw this and she quickly called someone again.)
Heidi Huxley: (off-mic) Uhm…I am sorry, who allowed Ashlynn to interrupt this and give her a Pink Corvette like that?…She asked nicely and you just gave it to her?…She said it was paid with MY MONEY?! COME ON!
Gavin Kirkland: You know what guys…I was AladdIN with Candice, but I am now AladdaOUT, there are so MINNIE good reasons to stay loyal to Candice but what Ashlynn just did right here? Wow. This is a whole different Belle-Game-
Deadprez: Eve, this might be the day I finally punch him.
Eve: Another day, not when kids are watching. Right, as everyone saw right now Ashlynn made her grand entrance to interrupt Candice’s princess ceremony, and it seems she didn’t come alone, she brought backup here with her and a loud statement as well to prove she is the better uh…”Barbie” between the two.
(Ashlynn stopped posing and looked towards Candice in the ring who quickly put back the crown on the pedestal and turned to Ashlynn with an angry expression on her face. Ashlynn took off her sunglasses and she smiled towards Candice as she spoke on the microphone she had on her hand.)
Ashlynn Quinn: HEEEYYY UGGOOOOO! You surely didn’t expect to hear from me so soon after you used up all of that time in the world to plan out this, in my humble opinion, pathetic coronation ceremony? I don’t need a gigantic castle to look Barbie, I don’t need Disney backing me up to look Barbie, I don’t need to look like a Princess myself and have all of these Disney Princesses all around, I just need, me, myself, I, some pink, a bag full of makeup and then I am right here in the flesh. Ken and the car are just accessories to back me up. And come on, don’t you see all of the people staring now over here and ignoring you, they know that I have made an impression, they know that I am the one to be listened to and looked at and you? Candice, you aren’t just the one anymore. You aren’t the prettiest girl anymore when I am here standing and breathing, and just like Mother said, because Mother knows Best, wink wink, I am the Golden star compared between you and me, I still have tons of potential left in the tank that can flourish and grow with every step of the way while you have been here for like what? 3 to 4 years and you STILL haven’t accomplished anything? You are just a loser to the highest degree, not a princess, no matter how much you try and prove that wrong.
(Ashlynn stood up with a confident smile on her face as Candice took her time to process what she said, quickly grabbing the microphone off the floor and speaking with conviction.)
Candice Blair: Funny that you say that kind of thing Ashlynn, you are honestly trying to anger me playing this kinds of games with me, just jumping off the apron in the tag match and not even giving me a chance to work together with you, continue to overhype yourself to extents that you will never be able to reach at all and then trying to put me down because of something I have given my all to get over but how can you be the one to call me out on that? Why are you so easily setting yourself up here for failure? When all you have been able to accomplish is be Veena’s little assistant? You think it is all about the look but sometimes it is about the actions, it is about what you do that makes you prove you are indeed the prettiest woman of them all, the one true Barbie, being beautiful on the outside and on the inside, a very important lesson Disney teaches you, and you Ashlynn are just rotten to the core and that fact can’t be changed, you let your overblown ego talk for you and you end up biting more than you can chew, insulting me for not accomplishing anything when there is a good chance as well you end up suffering that same fate considering how many bad decisions you are making, and don’t even get me started on the fact you continue to rely on Veena to fix your problems, well surprise Missy, this is your actual first real test and you are going to absolutely fail. For a so-called Barbie, you are just plastic and easily breakable. And a Disney Princess, is always remembered and strong at heart. Now, where were we? Oh yes!
(Candice quickly grabbed the crown once more with her own hands and she placed it right on top of her head. She smiled brightly and turned to all of the Disney Princesses standing at ringside and clapped a few times so that they could finish off the ceremony, as Candice and the princesses broke out into a musical number and sang a song to all of the people there. Ashlynn simply sat back down and tried her best to ignore all of that.)
“Ken”: (off-mic) So uh…am I getting paid for this?
Ashlynn Quinn: (off-mic) SHUT UP KEN!
“Ken”: (off-mic) Alright!
Deadprez: Well…I think I have been part of a hallucination for the past few minutes, I don’t even know what to say.
Eve: I think we should just saw a preview to the Battle of the Barbies at Midsummer Massacre, it is clear that this is a clash between two women who have the same kind of style and approach but very different ideologies and we will see them duke out and see which ideology is the strongest. But I am indeed kind of shocked at everything that I saw.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, you want to know what we saw, Eve? CINEMA.
(Gavin then quickly stood up from his commentary and she gave a standing ovation to Candice’s song with the Disney Princesses, as Ashlynn and “Ken” drove off and the song continued, Showdown quickly faded to the backstage area with Kyra Phillips.)
(Camera cuts to the back where Kyra Phillips is standing by. Kyra smiles as she gets her cue from the camera crew, and she raises her mic.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you for joining me guys. It just so happens I have with me a very special guest. Please welcome… Hikari Kanno.
(Hikari steps into shot with a respectful nod to the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you for your time Hikari, why don’t you start with what happened last week. Serenity Valdez attacking you after what had been a grueling match with ARIA.
(Hikari can only grin, the whole thing apparently amusing her.)
Hikari Kanno: Shouldn’t come as any great surprise, and it certainly didn’t surprise me. It only served as evidence as to the way I see Serenity. The way I’m sure many see her.
Kyra Phillips: Which is?
Hikari Kanno: Serenity Valdez is nothing more than an abject failure and has done nothing to prove that she is as good as she believes she is. Truth is Kyra, I have been far from impressed in my interactions with her, and she should do much better.
Kyra Phillips: This is the Empress of Elite you are talking about
(Hikari shrugs her shoulders, knowing that all too well.)
Hikari Kanno: Yes, I cannot deny that. Serenity was indeed very impressive during that tournament but what has she done since? I’ll ask you, do you think Serenity could defeat Kassidy Heart one on one?
Kyra Phillips: I have to remain impartial on questions like that.
Hikari Kanno: OK, but we all know that means no you don’t. You know why I know that? Because no one but Serenity believes it. Honestly, I don’t think she could have beaten Dr. Bethany Blue either, and we all saw what happened to her at the hands of Kassidy in the Glass Wallz. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I believe that crown is nothing more than an accessory. A prop that Serenity can point to whenever anyone tells her the truth. And if there is anything that last week showed me, it’s that Serenity Valdez cannot handle the truth. See Kyra, Serenity wants us all to believe that she is the top female on Showdown, and she will point to that crown as the evidence. She wants to lord it over each and everyone of us, but that just isn’t happening. I am the most dominant female wrestler in this company, bar none. And I have absolutely no problem proving that to anyone, no matter who you are.
Kyra Phillips: All that said, what do you have planned for your match at Midsummer Massacre? I mean, if there is one thing that you cannot deny, it is that Serenity is cunning, and extremely manipulative.
Hikari Kanno: You think?
(Kyra shrugs her shoulders, again being as impartial as possible.)
Hikari Kanno: OK, well do you know what I think? She isn’t quite as smart as she thinks. Let’s see what she is like when she tries to handle her business without the Queen Bees at her back. Let’s see just how smart she is when she has to do her thinking for herself, all by her lonesome. Kyra, at Midsummer Massacre, I am going to show EVERYONE that she is every bit the fraud I say she is…
(Serenity steps into shot, standing the other side of Kyra with a huge grin on her face. She then steps even more forwards so we can’t even see Kyra, Serenity and Hikari now face to face. They stand like that for a few tense moments, the mic the only two separating them from being nose to nose.)
Serenity Valdez: My name isn’t ever away from your lips is it?
Hikari Kanno: This is an interview. I was asked the question
Serenity Valdez: Oh, I heard. Trash interview if ever there was a definition.
Hikari Kanno: That’s no way to speak to Kyra
Serenity Valdez: Oh believe me, I’m talking to you. You know what, it’s cute hearing you speak. Hearing how you believe I need the Queen Bee’s…
Hikari Kanno: You do
Serenity Valdez: No, actually I don’t. The fact is that you are looking for excuses, as Midsummer Massacre gets that little bit closer and you realize that you have taken on a little too much, and are starting to run a little scared
Hikari Kanno: Scared of you. That’s ridiculous.
Serenity Valdez: Is it? Because you should be. After all, you know that I am THE Queen Bee and the only one that ever really mattered. You are no longer a champion, and it’s amplifying the hurt that little bit more knowing that very soon, I will be the Universal Women’s Champion. After Midsummer Massacre, I’m going to put you back in your box, whilst at the same time making sure that everyone knows that Miku was the ‘better’ one out of IDOL-Gun. All you are Hikari, is my warm up for the main event. Nothing more.
(Hikari continues to stare at Serenity who continues to wear her shit-eating grin.)
Hikari Kanno: It’s too bad that when all is said and done, you’re Empress of Elite reign will go down as the biggest disappointment ever. And I’m going to be the one who makes certain of it.
Serenity Valdez: Yeah?
Hikari Kanno: Yeah
(They stand toe to toe for a few moments, the anticipation building in the crowd. When suddenly Serenity throws a right hand, catching Hikari cold and sending her backwards. Serenity runs in, but Hikari lifts a knee straight into Serenity’s face. Hikari then grabs her by the back of the hair and tries to ram her face into the wall but Serenity stops it, and instead it is Hikari that hits the wall hard. Serenity grabs her around the head, looking for the next weapon, but Hikari escapes, and pushes Serenity backwards, before connecting with a thrust kick that sends Serenity to the floor. Hikari jumps on top of her and the pair scuffle, rolling around the floor until eventually security arrives, and pulls them apart, dragging them both in opposite directions as they try to escape. The camera then goes back to Kyra who shakes her head, the scene fading.)
(The camera cuts back to the ringside area as Gina Romano is seen standing with a bright smile on her face and a microphone in her hand.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ by Blues Saraceno blasts through the speakers to a rain of boos pouring down on the stage, as Kirk Redwood is seen making his way out with none other than his partner, Solomon Stane behind him. Kirk smirks for a few moments, embracing the negative reception he’s receiving before starting to walk his way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS… ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY SOLOMON STANE… ‘UNKILLABLE…’ KIIIIIRRRRRKKKK REEEEDWOOOOD!!!!
Deadprez: And here he is, Kirk Redwood is here! The Off-Brand Amphetamines lately have been making things really personal with the Unified Tag Team Champions, POTARA, and with a Unified Tag Team Championship match set to take place between the two teams at the Voltage exclusive Free-Per-View, Bloodsport, this match especially is one heck of a chance seeing that if one half of the team manages to shock the world and pin the world champion ahead of the counter, what would be able to provide them with more momentum that this? This is a HUGE chance for Kirk Redwood here tonight, and if you ask me, he looks ready!
(As Kirk Redwood is in the ring and Solomon is at ringside by his side, ‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil replaces ‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ as Adam Lucas is seen making his way out to the stage with the Answers World Championship around his waist to a LOUD positive reception from the audience, probably the loudest of the night so far. Adam Lucas walks down to the ring, as he gets the belt of his waist and holds it up, to which the crowd goes even louder and even more excited to see their champion in action.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM NEW YORK… WEIGHING IN AT 231 POUNDS… HE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… ‘THE NEXT LEVEL…’ AAAAADAAAAAAMMMM LUUUUUCAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!
Eve: AND HERE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, HERE HE IS, ADAM LUCAS HAS ARRIVED AND THE CROWD IS LOVING IT! Over the past few weeks things have been getting heated up between Adam Lucas and his scheduled first challenger at Midsummer Massacre, Daryl Kinkade! Tonight Adam Lucas battles a former Unified Tag Team Champion in Kirk Redwood in a match which if he wins, then he just secured himself a lot of momentum by his side heading into Midsummer Massacre, especially after what took place in his latest match against Ms. CITV, Sheridan Muller, due to what happened because of Scott Diamond!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: HERE WE ARE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS CO-MAIN EVENT BOUT BETWEEN FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION KIRK REDWOOD AND THE CURRENT ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION ADAM LUCAS IS OFFICIALLY ON NOW, AND BOTH ELITISTS HAVE CLEARLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO COME- OH, ESPECIALLY KIRK REDWOOD BY THE LOOK OF THINGS, AS HE WITHOUT HESITATING FOR A SECOND RUNS EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER RUNNING AT ADAM LUCAS, AND THEN GOING OFF AT HIM WITH THOSE RAPID RIGHTS AND LEFTS!

NOW ADAM LUCAS GRABS KIRK REDWOOD PICKING HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET- BUT KIRK REDWOOD SUDDENLY WITH A CHOP, A CHOP WHOSE SOUND MAKES AN IMPACT THAT CAN BE HEARD THROUGH THE WHOLE ARENA!
Deadprez: BUT ADAM LUCAS DOESN’T STAND THERE HELPLESS, INSTEAD RESPONDS WITH A HARD CHOP OF HIS OWN! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND NOW ADAM LUCAS GOES OFF AT KIRK REDWOOD WITH A BUNCH OF CHOPS! KIRK REDWOOD STANDS THERE HELPLESSLY AS ADAM LUCAS KEEPS GOING, KIRK REDWOOD’S CHEST IS LITERALLY MORE RED THAN WHITE AFTER ALL THOSE CHOPS, BUT HE STARTED IT ANYWAY!
Eve: ADAM LUCAS BACKS OFF A LITTLE BIT APPARENTLY GOING FOR ONE MORE CHOP, BUT APPARENTLY ONE THAT IS MORE BRUTAL, THAT IS TOUGHER THAN ANY OF THE ONES BEFORE IT! BUT KIRK MOVES AWAY, THANKFULLY, BEFORE NAILING ADAM WITH A HUGE FOREARM STRIKE, BUT HE DUCKS UNDERNEATH, BEFORE INSTANTLY LIFTING UP KIRK REDWOOD, AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH THE SPINEBUSTER! ADAM LUCAS INTO THE COVER, AND BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

ADAM LUCAS IS STILL ALIVE WHICH ANGERS ADAM LUCAS, BUT NONETHELESS KIRK IN REACTION STILL PICKS ADAM LUCAS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE IMMEDIATELY GRABBING HIM-
Gavin Kirkland: ELBOW TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF REDWOOD BY ADAM, WHAT A SMART SUDDEN MOVE BY THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!

Eve: HE MIGHT BE PROBABLY ABOUT TO, BUT HE’S STILL TRYING TO DO SOMETHING!

THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL BY ADAM LUCAS… DOES NOT CONNECT! KIRK REDWOOD SMARTLY DUCKS UNDERNEATH AS HE GOES OFF THE ROPES RIGHT BEHIND ADAM LUCAS, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP!!!!’ WOW!!! WHAT A MANEUVER!!!

THE POP-UP POWERBOMB YES!!!!
Eve: WAIT, NO! KIRK REDWOOD REVERSED DROPPING OFF OF ADAM’S SHOULDERS, AND IT’S PROBABLY SOLOMON STANE BEING ON THE APRON WAS WHAT DISTRACTED ADAM AND ALLOWED THAT TO HAPPEN! ADAM TURNS AROUND ABSOLUTELY IMBALANCED… AND THE ‘.50 CAL!!!!’ THE SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS ON ADAM LUCAS–

(‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil once again blasts through the speakers as Adam Lucas rolls off of Kirk Redwood’s prone body to a huge pop from the audience, as Adam Lucas gets helped back up to his feet by the referee, being handed his Answers World Championship belt, as the referee then holds his arm up in victory, thus acknowledging him as the winner.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… AAAAADAAAAAAMMMM LUUUUUCAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Deadprez: THAT MATCH RIGHT HERE WAS A MASTERPIECE! WOW! WHAT A MATCH THAT WAS!
Eve: Even in spite of all of the cheap tactics that were used and the multiple interferences by Solomon Stane, Adam Lucas still emerges victorious! This is why he is the Answers World Champion! This is why for the entire past couple of years, Adam Lucas has been known as an Elitist who possesses more spirit than most! What a victory over Adam Lucas over a solid Kirk Redwood here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, and there is nothing to be taken away from Kirk Redwood either. Yes, some of the strategies he used weren’t the cleanest, but he still nonetheless tried everything he could and in the end that resulted in a fight not even Adam Lucas expected him to give. That was a wonderful main event from the get go, and in the end, the Answers World Champion was just too much to be manhandled. Congratulations to Adam Lucas!
(The final shot is seen as Adam Lucas is on the top turnbuckle, celebrating his victory as he holds his Answers World Championship up high in the air, meanwhile Kirk Redwood is down and out, being checked on by Solomon Stane….)
Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE FROM BEHIND JUST KNOCKED ADAM LUCAS OFF THE ROPES AND HE LANDED HARD ON THE OUTSIDE! DARYL JUMPS DOWN AND GRABS ADAM LUCAS…. THROWING HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
(SMASH!!!)
Eve: HE BASHES ADAM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! DARYL IS RELENTLESS AND HE TAKES ADAM….. WAIT A SECOND…..
Gavin Kirkland: EVERYONE GET OUTTA OF THE WAY!!!!
(Adam flies into the announce table and crushes Deadprez, but Gavin and Eve were able to get out of the way. Daryl Kinkade though is not done, picking up Adam Lucas and hits the Hail To The Victor! Adam Lucas is laid out on the floor and Daryl Kinkade stands over him.)
Daryl Kinkade: (Off Mic) Last message, the Answers World Championship is mine bruv.
(Officials finally come running out as Daryl is backing up, the check on Adam as Daryl looks at the Answers World Championship before cracking a smile and walking off. The camera fades elsewhere.)
(Showdown immediately faded towards backstage as suddenly, the entire mood of the show changed for a moment, there was “detective” like background music playing on the broadcast and the brightness seemed to dim to give it that mysterious look, for it switched now to a completely different camera than the ones EAW usually used, the broadcast showed a desk and the back of the chair for a few seconds, the background of the shot having a lot of memorabilia and books about famous fictional detectives, and yeah, it seemed by this point it was clear who it was, as with a DRAMATIC spin of the chair, it was revealed Aria was sitting in the chair this whole time! And as she spinned around and faced the camera, she kept a confident smile for a few seconds…and a bit more…and a bit more…and more…)
ARIA: …Are we recording now?…OH, WE ARE? OH UH- HELLO, YES! Welcome everybody to my humble office, well, not my office at my Uncle’s Agency, the office that I have here backstage in Showdown, because yes, it is finally official, I can genuinely use this office I bought for the first time, it has been sitting here picking up dust for almost a whole year now but we finally found the purpose. What may be the purpose you ask? Well, this is the whole room where I will reveal the truth, and nothing but the truth…ABOUT JON KELTON…AND HIS TIES WITH THE DEVIL! And then imagine the DUN DUN DUN!!! sound effect after this, we are doing it live so I can’t edit it in later- ANYWAY! I am joined here today by my personal cameraman, secretary at my uncle’s agency, my muchacho, my buddy who hates paperwork, Harry-
Harry: HEY THERE MOM, TOLD YOU I WOULD FINALLY GET ON NATIONAL TV, HAH!
ARIA: I am sure your mother is very proud and of course, I don’t need any introductions myself, Sacred Detective, Miracle Maker, Aria Lestrade, you all know the drill, and I am going to make sure to DRILL, get it? All of this information onto you, because it has truly bothered me the past few weeks seeing Jon Kelton turn into the person he has become today, now we all know what kind of person Kelton is, seems like a normal dude, isn’t afraid of speaking of mind, likes to trash talk a bit, watch Sports, just your average Joe who is also a wrestler, but after facing Veena Adams and Jack Ripley this year and winning the National Elite Championship, he has become more odd, he has become into something more than isn’t the Jon Kelton we have known of, and he has began calling himself…THE DEVOLUTION DEVIL. Why The Devil of all things? Is he trying to tell us something? Is he trying to send us smoke signals of danger? Or did he just think of a whatever nickname on the spot? That last one doesn’t seem like it to me, there is clearly something deeper into this! And we just need to figure out if Jon started changing recently…or he was secretly always this way from the beginning?
ARIA: So I would like for all of you to dive in with me in this weird and strange journey to uncover the truth of Jon Kelton…the so-called Devil. I have gathered 3 important testimonies from witnesses that will be able to help me solve the truth. We have gone onto the field to investigate and interview these key witnesses, and right now we will show you the findings we have gathered.
(The feed cut from the office towards a completely different location, as Aria was standing there with a tiny microphone and of course Harry behind the camera as they stood off to the side with a priest around his 40’s next to her.)
ARIA: And we are on the field! We are currently located at the Catholic School that Jon Kelton used to go to as a kid, and I am here alongside Priest David, how are you?
Priest David: Good, thanks for asking.
ARIA: Wonderful, right, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of this thing, what do you think of Jon Kelton while he was attending this school?
Priest David: Honestly, I just saw another good kid who did his homework and behaved well like any others, he even actually helped me as an Altar Boy when we had sessions in the Church but slowly he began to change…he didn’t put as much effort in it, he fell asleep a few times during practices and then finally he kind of stopped showing up for them, his parent told me the reason is that Kelton lost passion on that path and he didn’t want to pursue it anymore but I didn’t believe that, there must have been something else more to it, but just before I could reach the truth, Kelton and his family moved cities and schools? My theory, he went to Satan and was planning to sabotage all of the Church sessions to ruin that personal moment of going to Church.
ARIA: Oh my freaking goodness, the audacity!
Priest David: What is he doing now?
ARIA: Going on national television calling himself The Devil!
Priest David: How horrible, do they just let anyone come up with whatever nicknames like that?
ARIA: Well, yeah, mine is the Miracle Maker-
Priest David: Oh! Are you a fellow Christian?
ARIA: …Uhhhhhh-
Harry: Aren’t you an Atheist?
ARIA: HARRY!
Priest David: Ah well, then don’t worry about it, everyone has their own right to believe in whatever they want.
ARIA: Oh! That’s cool then, thanks Priest-
Harry: And in one of your cases didn’t you interrupt a church session and knocked all the seats and tables over by accident?
Priest David: You did WHAT?
ARIA: OH DAMN, LOOK AT THE TIME! We gotta go now Priest, any last words?
Priest David: Make sure to always behave and be the best person you can be, and don’t interrupt church sessions!
ARIA: OF COURSE, OF COURSE! Make sure to always trust your Priests guys!
(After that interview, it cut back to the office where ARIA was sitting there with less than a pleasant face and a yikes expression on it.)
ARIA: So uh…I got some bad news that Harry just told me right now…so it turns out, that priest you saw in the video…GOT ARRESTED TODAY- Now I know what you are thinking…no, it is not that crime, even though it sucks it is usually that one from priests, it was actually robbery! Turns out he was taking some of the money from the church handouts and using it for…less than Catholic reasons, so yeah…don’t trust all of your priests. Now ok, I know all of that interview got invalidated because of that but hear me out here, stay with me, how can a man who has returned just 3 years ago look like 5 different people in that span of time? No matter how much makeup, plastic surgery or Terry Chamber’s training regime you take, that’s SHAPE SHIFTING! Demon crap! We have to keep going, we still have two more interviews left so let’s go!
(It now cuts to a building full of offices where Aria and Harry stood beside a woman currently eating a bag of chips.)
ARIA: What is your name, Miss?
Arasha: Arasha.
ARIA: What is your connection with Jon Kelton?
Arasha: We dated briefly in high school.
ARIA: And how was your relationship with him?
Arasha: Well it was alright from the start, we tolerated each other, we gave each other a few hugs every now and then but then he became insufferable, he stopped eating with me because I always put salt in his coffee everyday we ate, he blocked my phone number and text messages because I always pranked him at 3 in the morning through the phone acting like a killer clown was attacking me and then he stopped seeing and talking to me entirely when I tried to flip over his car with a tractor and accidentally broke part of his house! Like what? They were all just harmless pranks, he was no fun at all.
ARIA: I…uh…see. Well, did you see any of his behavior or actions resemble that of THE DEVIL?!
Arasha: Nope.
ARIA: He didn’t put crosses upside down?
Arasha: Nope.
ARIA: He didn’t sacrifice random small animals in rituals?
Arasha: Nope.
ARIA: He didn’t draw random pentagrams? Worshipped Satan? HAD BOOKS ABOUT CTHULHU?
Arasha: Nope, nope, and nope.
ARIA: UGH! So then the two of you broke up just like that?
Arasha: Nah, he broke, but I am UP.
Harry: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!
ARIA: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!
(The “Ooohhh” went for like 5 more minutes before it cut back to ARIA with a less than thrilled and worried expression.)
ARIA: Yeah, uh, Arasha ended up falling down a flight of stairs after that interview, she hasn’t had the best luck after breaking up with Kelton but I assure you she will be fine. Now, alright, I know we didn’t accomplish much with that one but keep up with me, don’t lose hope, there are still strange things happening here! Last year Kelton said he was 29 years old, now he claims to be THIRTY. Which is it, Kelton? Better keep your story straight! What are you going to say next year? Say you are THIRTY ONE? Get out of here with that! Ok, but seriously now, I left the best for last, the last interview that is going to PUT this whole thing to bed, an actual expert on the field when it comes to the Devil. Exactly, I am going to interview my…donut delivery guy!…who also happens to be a Satanist! Don’t ask me how I found out, it just happened one day, now let’s go!
(The camera then cuts to another location, to the front of the detective agency of Aria’s uncle, as Aria was standing to the side with a bright smile on his face while eating a banana, since she got hungry, and the donut delivery guy Garry was standing to the left of the frame, incredibly angry and crossing his arms.)
Garry: I can’t believe I got convinced to do this stupid crap.
ARIA: If you do this for me I will take another route to entering the Agency and I don’t have to bump into you by accident anymore!
Garry: No matter which route you take you STILL end up bumping into me, it is like you are Murphy’s Law incarnated, somehow, someway, while I was having a very private reunion with my cult-
Harry: Dungeons and Dragons group.
Garry: WHATEVER! YOU ended up appearing out of nowhere through a window, claimed you were searching for a cat and then RUINED the whole place!
ARIA: That cat was very important, he looked like a girlfriend. But seriously pull through with me here- So right, as everyone can see here I am with my Satanist expert Garry, he is the SMARTEST guy in his Dungeons and Dragons group…which in a way is saying he is the tallest dwarf.
Garry: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
ARIA: Nothiiiiingggggg…right, one and done, one shot, I am going to show you a picture of him and you tell me if he is a Satanist alright?
Garry: Just get this over with…
ARIA: Alright, three, two, one…BAM!
Garry: That looks like an MMA fighter.
ARIA: Oops, sorry, that was his old appearance, ok, I got the new new…new one. BAM!
Garry: …That just looks like a normal guy.
ARIA: You look like a normal guy Garry!
Garry: Yes, but you have to find that important detail that gives off Satanist vibes. I got glasses, a few pimples, not much facial hair, hair that looks like it hasn’t been washed for weeks, and have the committed several crimes look. The guy you just showed me? Looks like a ripoff of the Woogieman.
ARIA: So…he isn’t a Satanist?
Garry: Of course not, now can I please go? I have to actually do my job.
(Aria let out a sigh and nodded disappointed, Garry picked up his boxes and began walking away. Harry and Aria began walking away too as Aria finished her banana and threw the banana peel over her head, casually landing in front of Garry and making him slip on it and fall face first into the concrete with his boxes falling on top of him.)
Garry: DAMN YOU ARIAAAA!!!
(It then cut back to the office where ARIA was tapping her fingers and looking dejected as she took in a deep breath and spoke up.)
ARIA: Alright, you know what? Sometimes the answer to a mystery isn’t very clear, you don’t get everything you want and that is that so my dear viewer, you decide for yourself on the answer to the mystery but I will leave you with something to think about, a conspiracy theory of mine…the name Jon Kelton. Kelton has six letters, kelTON of Kelton’s, how many? Three. What does that equal? 666, the number of the DEVIL. Now what about Jon? Sounds a lot like John, right? The book of John in the bible, John 3:12, that verse talks about Cain killing Abel but you know who incited Cain to do that in the first place? That’s right, THE DEVIL HIMSELF…and yeah that’s everything I have, but remember everybody, no matter how strange or inconspicuous something might look, don’t ignore it, always make sure to investigate. As the famous TV kids show Gravity Falls said…Stay weird.
(Aria then spinned around once more in her chair…and kind of didn’t know how to stop spinning before it then slowly panned out from a TV towards the Devolution locker room. Kelton, Londyn, Amir and Pandora were watching everything that was shown, as the four of them turned to each other in silence for a few seconds before they all broke into loud laughter, the laughter lasting for like five minutes before they all calmed down and simply left their locker room as Showdown then faded to ringside.)
(‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ by Yoko Takahashi begins to play through the speakers as Usagi Senshi walks out from the back with a focused look on her face. She will be the first opponent of Cy Henderson in years, so it’s her task to make sure that she does not disappoint. She also wants to make an impression.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN…SHE IS THE ‘MASTER OF EXCELLENCE’ … USAGI SENSHI!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Last week, she went from thinking that she would be teaming with PJ Hendrx to taking on Devolution’s Pandora Paisley and Amir Yusuf. Earlier this week, some backstage footage posted on the EAW site would reveal that PJ Hendrx would be attacked by Devolution, leaving Usagi with no partner going into Midsummer Massacre. Our General Manager, Kennedy Street, would perform miracles by blessing Usagi with the presence of her girlfriend, Ayu Megumi as the replacement for PJ and well, the match is still on!
Deadprez: We’re aware of the history between Pandora Paisley and The Ice Aces, which would lead to that infamous ‘Trip to Purgatory’ match two seasons ago. But, this time, it seems like she’s with a partner that she can rely on to deal with The Ice Aces.
Eve: That’s what I was thinking, DP. Right now, Usagi Senshi needs to put that in the back of her mind and focus on the man, who will be having his first match since…2016? Is that right? Regardless, it’s been a while for this man and Usagi is going to give him a welcome back to the ring personally.
(‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross begins to blast through the speakers as the crowd rises up in a standing ovation as Cy Henderson walks his way to the ramp from the back. This will be Cy’s first match in years, so there’s clearly a look of emotion from his face as he begins to look around the sold out crowd.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK…WEIGHING 240 POUNDS…HE IS THE ‘JUSTICE SEEKER’…CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson, a man with a controversial past is looking to see what has changed with Elite Answers Wrestling and to see if he still has that love for professional wrestling. I suppose we’ll see that in a matter of moments, but he is motivated.
Deadprez: Since Pain for Pride, Cy Henderson has been dealing with Chef Viz. It wasn’t until last week where the match became official where Cy Henderson will finally be able to get his hands on Chef Viz in a Steel Cage match at Midsummer Massacre! Speaking of Chef Viz…
(The camera pans to Chef Viz, who has a headset on at the end of the commentary table.)
Chef Viz: https://media.tenor.com/lIg-dHbrhvYAAAAd/big-e-wwe.gif Sorry, I was just eating some pie in the back. Sweet and savory, with filling and waiting to be eaten.
Deadprez: What kind of pie? h:
Chef Viz: I think that we’re talking about a different type of pie.
Eve: Anyway, let’s get ready for this match!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Our main event is underway as Usagi Senshi takes on Cy Henderson! Now, this is truly an interesting match up! It was one that was unexpected, but Usagi Senshi is an interesting opponent to go up against Cy. And, it should be interesting to see how Cy carries himself when it comes to the stronger, faster paced Usagi. I don’t think that Usagi is going into this match to give Cy a good match, but to win this match for *herself.* Usagi steps into the middle of the ring and gestures for the Hall of Famer to approach her. She is more than ready for this fight.
Deadprez: Cy Henderson remains calm as he allows Usagi Senshi to initiate this fight in the starting moments of the match. The two Elitists begin to circle around each other, looking for the perfect opening. The two of them have their stances up, dodging each other as they go for a lock up! But, Usagi can feel the strength power right away as she manages to grab Cy into a waist lock! But, Cy manages to reach behind him and get Usagi in a headlock! He manages to connect with the rest hold as he finds himself to his knees, before releasing the hold and running the ropes, rebounding off of them and taking Usagi down with a shoulder block! Cy gets Usagi up to her feet and looks to rebound her to the set of ropes in front of them, but Usagi counters the whip, sending Cy to those ropes! But, Cy manages to catch himself, clutching onto the top rope as Usagi runs after the Hall of Famer! But, Cy stops her with a shoulder, knocking her back!
Eve: Cy Henderson runs after Usagi Senshi and connects with clothesline, but Usagi manages to duck the clothesline! Cy stumbles forward, but manages to catch himself! He turns himself around, BUT USAGI CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! THEN, SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM! AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE AS SHE SENDS HIM BACK TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! WHEN USAGI GETS CY TO THE ROPES, USAGI CONNECTS WITH RAPID STRIKES TO THE FACE AND BODY BEFORE TOPPING IT OFF WITH A BACK HANDED PUNCH TO THE FACE! This causes Usagi to back away as you can see the intense look on her face! She waits for Cy to get himself straightened up, but Usagi connects with a dropkick to the abdomen of Cy! This causes the bigger Elitist to drop down to a knee! But, Usagi delivers a knee strike to the face of Cy! She rolls him over to his back as Usagi quickly goes for the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson with a kick out at one! Now, I’m surprised that Cy was able to kick out there! Usagi Senshi did throw some harsh strikes towards him! Usagi manages to rise back to her feet! She gets Cy up by the nape of his neck as she proceeds to connect with some boots to the side of Cy’s temples! This causes the Hall of Famer to go swing back a bit, but Cy swings forward to Usagi and nails her with a punch! This causes Usagi to go back, but she tries to keep her balance as she tries to connect with a punch of her own, BUT CY DUCKS AS HE MANAGES TO SCOOP USAGI UP AND CONNECT WITH BACK SUPLEX! Cy begins to get himself up as he’s gesturing for Usagi to get back to her feet! But, Cy manages to charge towards her, nailing with a clothesline as he sends Usagi back to the corner! From there, Cy connects with some shoulder thrusts to the ribs of Usagi! What are your thoughts so far of this match, Chef?
Chef Viz: https://i.giphy.com/media/c5FhF1waAJ5wk/giphy.webp
Gavin Kirkland: Well, that’s a unique look from you, Viz. Very expressive.
Chef Viz: Is it unique because I’m black?
Gavin Kirkland: No, never!
Chef Viz:
Deadprez: As we continue with this match, we see that Cy Henderson picks up Usagi Senshi and sits her up on the top rope. But, Usagi begins to show some fighting spirit to the Hall of Famer by delivering a kick to the face! Usagi tries to set herself up on the top rope, looking to connect with whatever her next move is! Cy goes running after her as Usagi flies from the top rope and lands a missile dropkick on Cy! BUT, NO! CY MANAGES TO GRAB ‘THE CRYPTIC ACE’ BY HER LEGS AS HE TAKES HER DOWN TO HER BACK! USAGI GETS SLAMMED HARD ON HER BACK, BUT CY STILL HAS POSSESSION OF HER LEGS! BUT, LOOK HERE! IT SEEMS LIKE CY IS GOING TO APPLY THE BOSTON CRAB ON USAGI! IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HIS OLD MENTOR’S PLAYBOOK, THE HALL OF FAMER AND FORMER WORLD CHAMPION, IMPACT!
Eve: But, Usagi Senshi manages to twist herself out of position as she creates some distance between her and Cy Henderson! But, Cy manages to clutch onto one of her legs as he manages to apply an ankle lock on Usagi! BUT, USAGI MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF OUT OF POSITION AND ESCAPE THE MOVE! SHE GETS TO HER FEET AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A PELE KICK AS THAT SENDS THE HALL OF FAMER BACK! USAGI FINDS HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE GOES RIGHT AFTER CY! SHE GETS CLOSE TO THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION’S FACE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH! YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK OF INTENSITY ON THE FACE OF ‘THE CRYPTIC ACE!’ SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER HARSH PUNCH TO THE FACE AS CY DOES NOT FLINCH. IT’S LIKE HE’S NOT PHASED AS USAGI HITS HIM WITH ANOTHER PUNCH! STILL, CY DOES NOT FLINCH AND JUST LOOK AT USAGI’S FACE, WHO ALMOST FEELS INSULTED! BUT, CY CONNECTS WITH A HUGE HEADBUTT AS THAT SENDS USAGI! That headbutt came out of nowhere as Usagi goes back against the ropes! Cy manages to grab Usagi by the arm before whipping her to the horizontal set of ropes across from them! Usagi rebounds off of them as Cy connects with a dropkick that drops Usagi!
Gavin Kirkland: To see someone as big as Cy Henderson connect with a dropkick is always amazing to see. You don’t expect that from bigger athletes, but it seems like we’re going to be surprised in this match up! After all, this is Cy’s first match in…seven years? Have we even calculated that?
Deadprez: I think that you might be on track with all of that. But, Cy Henderson drops Usage Senshi with a dropkick! Cy is already up on his feet. Usagi is in an all fours position as that dropkick might have made her dizzier than the whole headbutt that Cy gave her beforehand. Cy follows up that dropkick by stalking Usagi up before running towards her and connecting with a spinning neck breaker as that takes her down! Cy with the hook of the leg!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TT—
Eve: Usagi Senshi with a kick out! This match is still young as Cy Henderson might have something going for himself in this match up. He gets Usagi up by the back of her neck as he throws her into the corner! But, Usagi manages to catch herself from colliding into the corner! CY STILL HAS HER BY THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS HE ATTEMPTS TO SLAM HER HEAD AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE, BUT SHE STOPS HERSELF ONCE AGAIN! SHE IS SHAKING HER HEAD NO AS SHE IS BEGINNING TO GET FIRED UP! BUT, STILL, CY GOES TO SLAM HER HEAD ONCE MORE, BUT USAGI STOPS HERSELF ONCE MORE! SHE SWITCHES POSITIONS WITH CY AS SHE BEGINS TO SLAM HIS HEAD AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, USAGI IS GOING BALLISTIC AS SHE IS SLAMMING THE HEAD OF THE HALL OF FAMER AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! SHE DROPS CY AT THE CORNER AS SHE GIVES OUT A HUGE BATTLE CRY! SHE IS FEELING QUITE FIRED UP, GUYS!
Chef Viz: This man is really letting this little girl beat his ass? Couldn’t be me. This really the white piece of bread that everyone’s telling me to worry about?
Gavin Kirkland: Now, Usagi Senshi is an amazing fighter on her own! She begins to back away from Cy Henderson. HER EYES DO NOT LEAVE HIM AS SHE CHARGES AT THE HALL OF FAMER AND HITS HIM WITH A RUNNING UPPERCUT AS THAT SENDS HIM BACK! USAGI CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER UPPERCUT! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! She grabs Cy by the arm before whipping him to the other corner, but Cy counters the whip as he sends Usagi to the corner across from them! Cy bolts right towards her, looking to hit her with a body splash, but Usagi manages to get herself out of the way! But, Cy manages to stop himself before colliding with the corner! USAGI CHARGES TOWARDS CY HENDERSON WITH A SPEAR TO THE CORNER, BUT CY MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY AS USAGI MANAGES TO SLAM HER FACE AGAINST THE RING POST AT THE CORNER!
Deadprez: I don’t think that Usagi Senshi anticipated for that to happen! Cy Henderson sees what just happened to Usagi and realizes that he may have found himself a bit of an opening there! He manages to grab Usagi around the waist and take her back for a German suplex! But, Cy maintains control of the waist as he connects with another German suplex! But, he rolls himself up to his feet, still having control of Usagi’s waist before connecting with a third German suplex! This time, he releases the hold as Usagi tries to roll herself to her knees after that third German! But, she falls flat on her back! Cy finds his way back to his feet. HE GOES TO RETRIEVE USAGI AS HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF THE MEMBER OF THE ICE ACES! THIS TAKES USAGI STRAIGHT UP AND BACK! CY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER CHOP TO USAGI’S CHEST! AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE! AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE! USAGI IS TAKEN TO THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES AS CY RUNS TOWARDS HER, NAILING HER WITH ONE OF HIS KNEES! THIS CAUSES USAGI TO BEND FORWARD AS CY BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF FIERY KNEES TO THE FACE OF USAGI!
Eve: Usagi Senshi drops down as Cy Henderson manages to follow that up with an exploder suplex as he sends Usagi flying across the ring! Usagi looks to be in some pain at the moment as she is trying to pick herself back up! But, Cy charges right after her, nailing a big boot to the face of Usagi as she stumbles back to the ropes! She drops down, but she manages to clutch onto the top rope! She is trying to get herself back up as you can see the look of intensity on her face! CY CONNECTS WITH A HUGE DROPKICK TO THE RIB OF USAGI AS SHE GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT, SHE FINDS HERSELF WITH HER LEGS DANGLING ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! BUT, THE UPPER HALF OF HER BODY IS DANGLING ON THE OUTSIDE AS SHE’S TRYING TO SIT HERSELF STRAIGHT! SHE MANAGED TO CATCH HERSELF FROM FALLING OFF THE APRON! BUT, CY MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! HE IS FACING THE DIRECTION OF USAGI, WHO IS DOING HER BEST TO KEEP HER BALANCE! BUT, I’M NOT SURE WHAT CY HAS IN MIND! HE’S LOOKING TOWARDS YOU, VIZ!
Chef Viz: I mean, if I was a wrinkled piece of cottage cheese looking at a delicious, delectable, chocolate man such as myself, I’d look at me too.
(Chef Viz rises up from his chair as he begins to gyrate his hips. Cy Henderson does not look to be amused by the antics of the Chef as he turns his focus back on Usagi Senshi. Chef Viz sits back down staring down at Cy.)
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think that he found that quite funny. NOW, CY HENDERSON FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE LANDS A LEG DROP ON THE NECK OF USAGI SENSHI! HE JUST DROPS USAGI’S UPPER HALF OF HER BODY OUTSIDE OF THE RING! I THINK THAT HE MIGHT HAVE BROKEN USAGI’S NECK! AMN: AMN: CY IS UP TO HIS FEET AS THE REFEREE EXITS THE RING TO CHECK ON USAGI AND HER NECK! POOR USAGI, I DON’T THINK THAT SHE’LL BE GETTING UP FROM THAT. CAN WE GET A REPLAY OF THAT?
(REPLAY: A replay of Cy Henderson on the top turnbuckle, looking down on Usagi Senshi, who is dangling with her feet on the bottom rope. The upper half of her body is trying to pick itself up as it’s teetering to the outside. It goes slow motion on Cy hitting the leg drop before planning to present day at ringside.)
(Back to ringside.)
(The referee is checking on Usagi Senshi at ringside. Meanwhile, we see Cy Henderson staring down at Chef Viz, who begins to find his way back to his feet, almost ready for a fight. But, Cy replaces his focus back on Usagi at ringside. Viz seems to be a bit fired up, but he is doing good with keeping his anger in check.)
Chef Viz: Yeah, that’s what I thought. You don’t want the smoke, Cy? You don’t want smoke? I thought that you wanted this fight and now, it’s hush-hush from you?
Deadprez: The referee is trying to help Usagi Senshi up to her feet as she manages to shoo the referee away as she manages to try to stand up straight! It’s a valiant effort as Cy Henderson is looking across from her. You can see that he’s quite hesitant with his approach? Is Usagi in the shape to continue on with this match! You can see her clutching to her neck and that is totally going to give her an issue as this match progresses! Usagi is gesturing for Cy to give it his best shot and with that, Cy rushes forward to her, but Usagi drops down! I’m not sure if that was because she wanted to or because she couldn’t get her neck straight for the time being! BUT, CY PICKS HER UP BY THE NECK AND CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT! AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE! HE GRABS USAGI BY THE ARM AS HE WHIPS HER TO THE BARRICADE! USAGI GOES CRASHING ONTO THE BARRICADE AS CY SPRINGS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE OF USAGI AS THAT SENDS HER FACE FIRST TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: Usagi Senshi looks beaten up at this point of the match up! Cy Henderson looks hesitant on whether he should be continuing this match. At the same time, Usagi knows that she wants the fight to continue. She doesn’t want Cy to feel pity for her. She wants the fight. She wants to be able to take the Hall of Famer to his limit. Cy manages to grab Usagi by the nape of her neck before rolling her back inside the ring! Cy slides back into the ring as well as he goes for the cover! I can’t imagine Usagi even having the energy to kick out of this!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRR—
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi kicks out! How in the world is Usagi still in this match up? I don’t think that Cy Henderson can even believe what is going on, but I think that he’s learning that this breed of EAW Elitists is built different! But, Cy is making his way up to his feet and he begins to back away to the ropes! He is trying to see if Usagi will be able to make her way back to her feet! USAGI IS CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HER NECK AS SHE TRIES TO FIND HER WAY TO HER KNEE AND THEN, SHE IS SLOWLY RISING BACK TO HER FEET AS —‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE DISCUS LARIAT AS USAGI SPINS AROUND LIKE A FREAKING TOP! I THINK THAT SHE MIGHT BE DEAD HERE! BUT, CY HENDERSON IS NOT DONE HERE! IT SEEMS LIKE HE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH FOR THE NIGHT AS HE WAITS FOR USAGI TO GET HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET! STILL, YOU CAN SEE THAT USAGI IS CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HER NECK AS SHE FINDS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET! CY GRABS USAGI AND GETS HER IN A REVERSE FIREMAN CARRY POSITION AS HE GOES FOR ‘RISING TIDE’ —
Deadprez: No! Usagi Senshi drops down! I just think that she didn’t have the strength to be lifted up like that! Cy Henderson reaches down to get her, BUT USAGI CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE OF THE HALL OF FAMER! SHE SLOWLY TRIES TO GET HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE RACING TOWARDS CY WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! THEN, FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST BEFORE TOPPING THAT OFF AND CONNECTING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS THAT SENDS THE ‘JUSTICE SEEKER’ TO HIS BACK! ‘THE ELITE COMBO’ EXECUTED WITH PERFECTION! USAGI GETS ON TOP OF CY, THROWING A SERIES OF SLAPS AND PUNCHES TO HIS FACE! USAGI IS FIRED UP! Slowly, it seems like she’s getting her second wind into this match! Cy is trying to find himself back to her feet! But, Usagi stops him in his tracks with a gamengiri as that sends Cy to his side! Usagi runs after the Hall of Famer and follows that up with a cross arm breaker!
Chef Viz: If this man lets this scrawny little girl defeat him, just imagine what will happen to him when he steps into the stainless steel with me? He’s gonna get cooked.
Eve: But, Cy Henderson manages to get his right arm on the bottom rope as Usagi Senshi doesn’t bother with holding onto the arm! It seems like she’s already tired to begin with! She tries to get the bigger man up to his feet! But, Cy stops her with a knee to her gut! HE PICKS HER UP AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘PHANTOM DEATH’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE MICHINOKU DRIVER AS HE PLANTS USAGI DOWN! WITH THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE CY IS BEGINNING TO FIRE HIMSELF UP! I THINK THAT HE IS LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH FOR HIMSELF AS HE BEGINS TO BACK AWAY TO THE CORNER! WE SAW HIM ATTEMPTING THE ‘RISING TIDE’ EARLIER IN THE MATCH, BUT I THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE GOING WITH A DIFFERENT APPROACH! HE WAITS FOR USAGI TO FIND HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING AFTER HER — ‘CALAMITY!’ THE GORE CUTS USAGI IN HALF — NO! USAGI RUNS AFTER CY WITH A ‘FATALITY’ — THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! BUT, CY MANAGES TO DUCK THE KNEE STRIKE! HE PICKS HER UP FOR A URANAGE SLAM!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson slams Usagi Senshi to the ground as it looks like he might be looking to wrap things up or at least, attempt to wrap up this match! He picks up Usagi and it seems like he’s going to approach ‘Rising Tide’ once more! BUT, NO, WITH ALL THE SPEED IN THE WORLD, USAGI MANAGES TO TAKE CY BACK WITH A POSIONRANA AS SHE MANAGES TO PIN HIM! IS SHE LOOKING TO STEAL THE VICTORY FROM THE HALL OF FAMER??
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TT—
Deadprez: No! Cy Henderson manages to get himself out of the roll up attempt! But, look at this, Gav and Eve! HE MANAGES TO TRANSITION THAT ROLL UP BY GETTING HER INTO POSITION AND HE’S GOING FOR THE ‘VOID LOCK’ — THE STEPOVER TOEHOLD FACELOCK! BUT, CY IS NOT ABLE TO SITUATE THE SUBMISSION THE BEST THAT HE CAN! USAGI SENSHI MANAGES TO ROLL CY TO HIS BACK AS SHE LOOKS TO GO FOR A SNEAKY PIN FALL ATTEMPT!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWW—
Eve: CY HENDERSON REALIZED WHAT USAGI SENSHI WANTED TO DO AS HE APPLIED A CHICKEN WING SLEEPER HOLD ON ‘THE CRYPTIC ACE!’ HE MANAGES TO CATCH USAGI OFF GUARD WITH THE CHICKEN WING SLEEPER HOLD AS SHE IS TRYING TO SCRAMBLE HERSELF OUT OF THE HOLD! USAGI WITH PANIC WRITTEN ON HER FACE AS SHE KNOWS THAT SHE IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT! SHE IS DOING THE BEST THAT SHE CAN TO GET OUT OF THE GRASP OF CY, BUT CY IS TOO STRONG! CY IS WRENCHING IN THE HOLD, APPLYING MORE PRESSURE ONTO THE HOLD AS HE SEES THAT USAGI IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY FROM HIM! USAGI IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH KEEPING HER EYES OPEN AS CY MANAGES TO KEEP HER INTO POSITION AS HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET! THE CHICKEN WING STILL APPLIED, BUT THEN, HE MANAGED TO GET HER IN A REVERSE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION! HE HAS HER IN POSITION FOR — ‘RISING TIDE’ — THE BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS ON USAGI! CY WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Tupac Back’ begins to play through the speakers as Cy Henderson manages to get off of Usagi Senshi as he rests on his knees after the well-fought battle.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…CY HENDERSON!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Cy Henderson with a victory in his first match in years! But, it seems like he’s taking no time to celebrate as he’s sliding out of the ring and he’s going after you, Chef!
Deadprez: CY HENDERSON JUMPS AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON CHEF VIZ, WHO WAS TRYING TO GET OUR HEADSET OFF! THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC AT THE SIGHT OF CY FINALLY GETTING HIS HANDS ON VIZ, WHO HAD BEEN ESCAPING EACH CONFRONTATION THAT THESE TWO HAD! BUT, CHEF VIZ IS MEETING CY WITH EACH PUNCH! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE UNLOADING ON EACH OTHER, NOT BEING ABLE TO WAIT FOR MIDSUMMER MASSACRE OR THAT STEEL CAGE MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM! CY MANAGES TO TAKE VIZ AWAY FROM OUR TABLE, WHICH MAY BE A GREAT THING! BUT, VIZ DELIVERS AN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS THE HALL OF FAMER BACK, BUT CY DELIVERS AN UPPERCUT FOR HIMSELF, RETURNING THE FAVOR AS HE SENDS VIZ BACK!
Eve: Cy Henderson saw an opportunity where Chef Viz could not run or hide for him and he took advantage of it! That’s what makes Midsummer Massacre so great for Cy, but awful for Viz, the time for running and hiding for Viz is almost up! The two men are beating the living heck out of each other!
(Many referees begin running down the ramp, looking to break up the fight between Cy Henderson and Chef Viz. The crowd begins to boo as the referees begin to back the men from each other to opposite parts at ringside. Cy and Viz begin to trash talk each other as the audio begins to go mute over the use of profanity between the two men.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: Chef Viz looks to be more than alright with being pulled apart by the referees, but Cy Henderson is more than fired up! CHEF VIZ IS TALKING A LOT OF SMACK TO THE ‘JUSTICE SEEKER’ AS CY MANAGES TO BREAK A PART FROM THE REFEREES AND BEGINS TO JUMP ONTO VIZ AS HE TAKES DOWN THE REFEREES AT THE MISSION TO BEAT UP VIZ! BUT, VIZ IS GETTING IN HIS OWN PUNCHES, NOT ALLOWING CY TO PUSH HIM AROUND! BUT, WITH THAT, MORE REFEREES BEGIN TO COME OUT FROM THE BACK TO BREAK THESE TWO MEN APART!
Deadprez: It’s such an unfortunate, but chaotic way to end this edition of Showdown! Next weekend is Midsummer Massacre on the EAW Network! Will it be Adam Lucas or Daryl Kinkade walking out as Answers World Champion? Jon Kelton or ARIA for the National Elite Championship? Who in the world survives in the steel cage: Chef Viz or Cy? Find that out all next Saturday! Signing off for Eve and Gavin Kirkland, I am Deadprez! Goodnight from Quebec City!
(The last shot is of the crowd chanting “LET THEM FIGHT” as the referees begin to escort Chef Viz from ringside. Meanwhile, Cy Henderson has a look of intensity as he watches his opponent from Midsummer Massacre being taken up the ramp. It fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
