Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s show. Kennedy Street announces Daryl Kinkade as the Brand Warfare’s captain and Adam Lucas as the Wargames’ captain for Showdown. Auburn Ware defeats Johnny Heat. Princess Candice talks…with a real life unicorn and tries to talk with a magical mirror, she gets attacked by Caroline, being revealed as the person who set her locker room on fire last week. The Off-Brand Amphetamines double down on their statements and are confident in beating POTARA. Delilah complains to Heidi Huxley about how she got screwed last week and so to pay back for what happened, Heidi tells her that if she wins her match next week, she can earn a title shot. Hikari Kanno defeats PJ Hendrx after Jon Kelton interferes in the match, he talks his trash to PJ after the match but PJ fights back and takes him down, as during the brawl Londyn gets attacked as well and PJ uses the advantage to send a message, laying her out with his Ultra Finisher and evening the odds between him and Kelton. Lucas Johnson goes to Kennedy wanting to know his Unique Opportunity but Kennedy tells him he needs to fight against Scott Diamond first and prove himself. Scott Diamond defeated Lucas Johnson. Adam Lucas convinces Sheridan Muller to join him in the Wargames team. Veena Adams and Ashlynn Quinn take a win against the Cosmic Captains. Pandora and Jon have a small interview with Mikaela Street and promise that Devolution will rise again. Daryl Kinkade defeats Madison Kaline. Chef Viz and Kennedy Street try to talk about what happened at Midsummer Massacre with the draw, and even though Kennedy can’t overturn the decision, she can give Viz an opportunity at Territorial Invasion with Answers World Championship implications. And on the main event, Serenity and Halsey defeat ARIA and Usagi Senshi, as after the match is over, they attack them, Hikari actually comes out for the save but out of nowhere Jon Kelton takes her down, PJ appears as well to continue attacking Kelton but Pandora pops up too to take down PJ, as suddenly, Jon, Pandora, Serenity and Halsey raise their hands together revealing that Serenity and Halsey were now part of Devolution.)
(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 MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark. 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 everybody…TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WE WRESTLE AND HAVE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED WOMEN WOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Ignoring Gavin’s comments as usual, we indeed wrestle here ladies and gentlemen! We got an incredibly exciting show for you tonight! We got Mattias Burke versus Nikki Kimura, Delilah Rose versus Lucas Johnson and the Disney Besties imploding as Halsey Neel faces off against Candice Blair!
Eve: And we can’t forget either Miss CITV Sheridan Muller going up against the Brand Warfare Captain Daryl Kinkade, the National Elite Champion Jon Kelton going up against Chef Viz, and finally, in our main event, the Answers World Champion and Wargames Captain Adam Lucas going up against the Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT FIRST WE HEAR FROM THE NEW DEVOLUTION, AND THE THREE INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE GROUP…And Kelton is alright too, I guess. LET’S GET RIGHT ON WITH THE SHOW!
( Master of Puppets screams through the arena’s sound system, and the Danish fans situated in the MCH Arena tonight respond with jeers and negativity! They’re furious, furious to hear Metallica. A Scandinavian country hating this kind of music? Only the likes of Devolution could be the root cause of such chaos! And here they are now, on the stage. Jon Kelton, Serenity Valdez, Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel. Sickening, sickening stuff. It’s like creative threw the most unlikeable — the most despicable people all into the same box, jiggled them around and pushed them out just to torture us! Despite the loud, negative reaction, none of these four villains of wrestling look all too bothered. After last week’s statement piece, a big one at that, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. To the commentator’s table we go! Deadprez speaks. )
Deadprez: What a start to Saturday Night Showdown! Hopefully, we’re going to get /some/ explanation pertaining to what happened last week. In Scotland, what an ending we witnessed as these four warriors came together, forming what can only be described as the unholiest of alliances! After that whole fiasco, leading to Amir’s removal from the group, some had pegged Devolution for the chopping block. But no! They bit back, they strengthened, they’re as dangerous as ever and they’re here tonight, hot out of the gates. Gavin, Eve, what do we think?!
Gavin Kirkland: Some people may have counted Devolution out, Deadprez. Not me! Jon Kelton, he always has something up his sleeve. When you’ve been in this business for as long as he has, there’s always an ulterior motive, always a cog turning. I saw this coming from a mile away! He, Pandora, Serenity and Halsey — they collectively have more enemies than there are names in a phone book! So banding together, it’s smart. Unethical? Perhaps. But you don’t win championships in this business by giving out handshakes and hotdogs, let me tell you.
Eve: And you’re the resident expert on thriving in this business are you, Gavin? As for Devolution, I’m personally disgusted. It’s gang mentality, Deadprez! Elite Answers Wrestling is the top company on this planet. What kind of message are we sending out pushing this kind of narrative, pushing the idea that the numbers game and brute power thrives above all? I’m disappointed. Disappointed in Showdown’s management for letting this slide, disappointed in names like Halsey and Pandora, who could’ve done so much more to establish themselves this season but have chosen to hide behind bigger names like Serenity and Jon. I sympathise with the Ice Aces, Hikari and PJ regarding what happened last week. It was a mugging!
Gavin Kirkland: I hardly think scrutinizing the ethics of professional wrestling is going to get you anywhere, Eve. Yes, the numbers game usually wins. That’s reality, that’s real life. You don’t get participation awards for playing by the rules and playing fair — only an elite, special kind of talent gets away with that. Unfortunately for the Ice Aces, for PJ — they aren’t that! But if you’re going to sit here and tell me the likes of Usagi haven’t used the numbers game, or haven’t bent the rules to their favour to get ahead then you’re a liar! It’s law of the jungle, Devolution sees that and they’re going to use that to their advantage.
Deadprez: Well, whether or not it’s morally just, Devolution are not making their way into the ring and we’re going to hear their thoughts momentarily. But I must say, if things continue like we saw last week and they manage to stay in sync with one another? Jon, Serenity, Halsey and Pandora could become a big, mammoth problem for the upper echelon of Showdown superstars in the coming months.
( Devolution makes their way down to the ring and proceeds to slide onto the canvas. Pandora is the one who barks orders at a ringside attendant, telling them to fetch a number of microphones. With a Northern Englishwoman like Pandora mouthing off? The attendant is quick to respond. Once the Danish crowd calm themselves down, Jon Kelton begins to speak. )
Jon Kelton: Well, well, well. How the turns have tabled! Please, boo some more! I relish it. I relish the hypocrisy of it all. You all figured a couple of weeks ago that was that. Dust your hands of Devolution. Dust your hands of seeing Pandora and I as a focal point of this show. I saw the social media messages. I saw the outcry. You all loved it! Well, who’s loving it now? No more heroes, we clipped their capes. See, I’ve been around the block a couple of times. To count me out — it’s idiotic to say the least. See, Denmark, this is a lovely place. I’m fair enough to admit that. You have beautiful women, a great education set-up. But even the majority of you couldn’t see what was bound to happen after I took out the trash two weeks ago. You counted the National Elite Champion out of it, and that came back to bite you all in the ass.
Jon Kelton: I wasn’t going to allow one idiot to ruin my plans, no. I’ve been working on the blueprint, I’ve been slaving away, months-on-months of playing by the rules and trying to make it the good, old-fashioned way. I worked far too hard to get my hands on this National Elite Championship and I wasn’t going to let Amir Yusuf of all men ruin that. Ruin it with the underperforming, the whining, being unappreciative of the environment which I curated for him. Showdown offered him an olive branch. I offered him a new home, a fresh start, he couldn’t capitalize on that. But I wasn’t going to let that put Showdown, well, down. I wasn’t going to allow his mistakes to harm myself and Pandora. So I got to thinking, I got to thinking what I could do to come back with a vengeance and show that Devolution wasn’t done, but was stronger than it ever was, much stronger now we’ve rid ourselves of our weakest link.
Jon Kelton: See, many of you don’t want to acknowledge this. But since returning? Pandora Paisley has been a woman on fire. She’s been consistent, she’s been hellacious. She’s taken some of the best in this business to their limits in recent months. She’s also been there for me. She’s been a rock, my friend, my tag team partner. PJ Hendrx, you love to cheer him. Even after what he’s done to me, to Londyn, to Devolution. You’re hypocritical. You cheered our downfall and two weeks ago, you relished in the fact we were done. I simply couldn’t allow it to happen.
Jon Kelton: Just when the Ice Aces looked to shrug off their run of bad form. Just as PJ Hendrx looked to make an impact. It came to me in a dream. Jon Kelton and Pandora Paisley — Serenity Valdez and Halsey Neel. Two units formed into one, like that Spice Girls song. Shoutout Victoria Beckham. Why should we settle? Why shouldn’t we band together, we all have the same end goal in mind. Complete, utter domination. Taking over the scene on Showdown and taking down the big guns. Shooting a rocket up to the moon, planting our flag and screaming at the top of our lungs, we’ve arrived. Serenity, she’s accomplished. She’s a former champion, she’s a reigning Empress. She’s going to capture a World Championship of her own soon enough. Whereas Halsey Neel, she’s dangerous. We’ve seen it in the Disney Besties, her own list of scalps is underrated as is. She’s a special talent.
Jon Kelton: See, you can boo us. But that only motivates us. It shows to me, to my peers that we’re right to be doing this. You’d hate on us regardless. You booed me when I was a man simply trying his best. You cheered as other men had the nepotism behind them, the superpush. I was never the first choice, so now that I’ve taken destiny into my own hands, you loathe it. But what you fail to realize is that Devolution, we don’t need the approval of the fans. We don’t need management in our back pocket, management brown-nosing and supporting us. We’re more than fine on our own, even better now we’ve taken out the trash. If you really want to boo this? Then you’re in for a long, long ride. Because Devolution isn’t stopping anytime soon. We’re going to grow stronger, brick-by-brick, and we’re coming for it all and not settling for less.
( Kelton passes off the microphone to Serenity, who takes a moment before speaking. )
Serenity Valdez: People have been asking questions. They’ve questioned me, Halsey, our decision-making and what led us to this point. After the tail-end of Dynasty, losing to management’s favorites-and-fetishes, hitting that rough little streak, Showdown provided me with a fresh start. I’m still the Empress of Elite. I’m still a former Specialists Champion and I’m still the inevitable future of this women’s division. I’ve always wanted domination. I couldn’t quite capture that with the Queen Bees. But comparing Pandora, Halsey and Jon to them? It’s night-and-day. I’ve put in the work. I’m going to be a champion of the world. We’re going to take over and it’s going to be glorious, I assure you.
Serenity Valdez: Tonight, I have the opportunity to show you all how far I have come. I’m facing Adam Lucas one-on-one and I assure you that I’m going to make quite the impression. With Devolution, with this partnership, I’ve never felt stronger. People talk about the new generation. They talk about regimes rising-and-falling. But they never spoke about us. We’re going to make them pay attention and we’re going to take the headlines. This is undeniable. People like to write me off, they’ve forgotten about me and they’ve moved on to names like Veena, Milli or even someone like Jamie Cross. But, no. I’m still getting better, I’m going to be the one who dethrones Kassidy Heart and I’m going to do that alongside Devolution.
( Now, it’s Halsey’s turn to speak. So far, the fans here in Denmark haven’t been overly receptive to the message that Devolution is attempting to deliver. )
Halsey Neel: You all forget that I’ve been in a situation like this before. With the Disney Besties, I thought that I found my forever home. But it wasn’t meant to be. This time, with Devolution, I know what I’m getting into. I know the signs to look out for. So far, so good. We’re going to do our best to make this a success. Serenity and myself, we’ve had prior incidents which we have learned from. So when the offer came, when the opportunity arrived to join Devolution and make a strong alliance even stronger? It was hard to turn down. We’re going to achieve some amazing things together. I’m very excited for the ride.
Halsey Neel: Tonight, they’ll be at ringside. Ringside to watch me go one-on-one with my former friend, my former stable member, Candice Blair. We have to make an impact. Last week was an incredible start, but it’s like Jon and Serenity have said. Showdown has too many heroes. Names like PJ, like the Ice Aces, even someone like Adam Lucas. Devolution, we’re going to capitalize on that. We’re going to wipe the smiles off the faces of you all, take out your favourites and take their spots in the process. I have some old relations to take care of. But tonight you’re going to get a genuine experience for what Devolution is all about, I promise you.
( Finally, it’s time to hear from Pandora. Halsey passes off the microphone to the Hellcat of Showdown and she looks at her new friends, stepping forward to speak. )
Pandora Paisley: Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, shall we? What happened with Amir, while it was gratifying, it also sucked. It sucked because Jon and I, we put in the work and we established ourselves. Amir, he had his moments, but he was lagging behind, he was letting the side down and his performance against Adam and Sheridan, it couldn’t suffice. It was the final straw, the straw which broke the camel’s back. People wrote us off from that point, for a moment I allowed that to cloud my judgment. But you have to pick yourself back up. You have to keep going and Devolution will keep going. If anything? It’s an underdog story. Now we’re aligned with Serenity and Halsey, it shows me that when one door closes? A bigger one opens.
Pandora Paisley: As Halsey said, tonight represents a fine opportunity for us to continue our growth and showcase that, even in spite of the numbers game, we can hang more than fine by ourselves. Halsey is going to crush Candice underneath her boot. Kelton is going to show why he’s the National Elite Champion, while Serenity is performing in the main event — against the reigning Answers World Champion nonetheless. I don’t have a match, unfortunately, but I will do my absolute best to manage my associates through their battles, ensuring that Devolution comes out of the other side stronger.
Pandora Paisley: We have our enemies. The Ice Aces are all-too used to the role of being a thorn in the side of bigger, more successful groups. Hikari Kanno, sure, she’s tough. She has Miku Sakai along with her, together they’re a successful team. Beating names like these, overcoming against someone like PJ, too. It puts us on the map. It stamps us on it and it shows that, now we have severed our weakest link, we’re going to be the main, focal point of Saturday Night Showdown for the upcoming season. This is only the beginning.
( Devolution sign off, soaking in the heckling and jeers from the European crowd. Showdown is stacked from top-to-bottom with high-end matches as Elite Answers Wrestling continues its European tour, with Territorial Invasion just weeks away! Tonight, this new-look Devolution competes in a trio of matches, against Adam Lucas, Candice Blair and Chef Viz, FKA The Visual Prophet! From here, we transition to our first commercial break of the night. )
(As it comes back from a commercial break, ‘We Won’t Back Down’ by Ra plays as Mattias Burke comes out of the titantron. He high fives some people as he makes his way down the ramp. Entering the ring, he decides to hit a quick pose before entering his corner.)
Gina Romano: THE OPENING MATCH OF SHOWDOWN IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL WITH A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT! INTRODUCING FIRST, MATTIAS BURKE!
(As he gets in the ring, his theme starts to fade and Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price plays as Nikki Kimura comes out with a smile on her face. She wears a soccer jersey as she makes her way down the ramp. Instead of eyeing down Mattias, she focuses on the fans.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS COMPETITOR, NIKKI KIMURA!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: We are off! Mattias and Nikki are eyeing each other down, getting ready for battle! They decide to both try to outwrestle each other off the bat, but they find that they’re pretty evenly matched in the technical and grappling side of things! They need to play into each other’s weaknesses, but they don’t know that yet! Mattias is using his superior strength to try to take her down, but it isn’t working, as Nikki is always too quick, easily reversing all of his attempts, as Mattias is forced to counter the reversal! He’s clearly not expecting this!
Eve: And it’s starting to look like Mattias is feeling a bit of pressure, but he shrugs it off! Nikki tries to go for a single leg, but Mattias sprawls, takes her back and immediately wins the exchange here! Nikki is forced to try to go for the ropes, which frees her and Mattias shuffles his body back! He knows he has to try something different, as grappling her is going to take forever! It’s going to be something that isn’t in his realm, but it’s something that plays into his strengths over her! He has a strength advantage and a height advantage here!
Deadprez: Let’s see just how smart Mattias is here, and what he’s going to play! Nikki is far more experienced than he is, and if he tries to make this a thinking match, he’s going to lose! Mattias is circling the ring, as he goes for a leg kick! Nikki felt that, as Mattias immediately goes for a spinning back elbow! It floors Nikki, which gives Mattias so much momentum! He takes it to the second rope, attempting an elbow drop! No! NIkki manages to roll back which causes Mattias to transition into a backflip instead!
Gavin Kirkland: We know he has crazy athleticism, but time and time again he looks to prove us all right and shock us once more! He does not seem to be slowing down in each match, and he aims to get better and better each time! Nikki is pushing against Mattias here, trying to send strikes with her soccer background, but Mattias’ quickness enables him to dodge everything fairly quickly! He’s very fast on his feet, and Nikki can see that! She’s caught in a wrist grab, as Mattias immediately turns it into a Dragon Suplex! What a move!
Eve: How many moves did this kid add to his bag? He’s putting all sorts of combinations together like he’s a multi-year vet, even though he’s only been doing it for barely a year! His fast improvement is shocking everybody, and it’s sure to be very impressive! Mattias turns around, as he hits Nikki with a soccer kick! Nikki takes it, but he gets up with that Japanese toughness and immediately sends a headbutt into his nose! She’s a fighter, I’ll give her that! Doesn’t seem to be backing down or giving up despite the fact she’s getting outdone in every way early on!
Deadprez: You’re super correct there, Eve. Nikki has everything she could possibly play off of, and this means that she might pull some things out of her own bag later on in the match, as she’s just scoping things out! Mattias has seen some of her work, but he has no idea how much she has learned, and this might lead into him underestimating her! Nikki looks at him and she smiles, to which Mattias reciprocates the feeling! They’re both happy to be in that ring, despite the fact there’s some bad intentions on each other!
Gavin Kirkland: Pretty standard, I must say, we have had worse encounters in Showdown, but Mattias doesn’t seem to be all that angry or hold any form of resentment! They both step in the middle of the ring, and she does a cartwheel right in his face! Mattias runs off the ropes and he does a Backflip into a Backspring! He’s showing off, and she is too! They’re both giving the fans a show here, but they immediately decide to get right back to it! It makes no sense for them to keep having all this fun forever!
Eve: I don’t know, Gavin. They seem to be really enjoying this, as Mattias immediately puts Nikki down with a Frankensteiner! No! NIkki kips right back up and she’s staring Mattias in the eyes! He’s grabbed, and launched into the ropes! Mattias is caught off guard with a dropkick, which puts him down and now Nikki has the advantage in this match! She runs off the ropes, and hits him with a double foot stomp, which forces Mattias to roll! He wants to roll outside, but Nikki keeps him inside the ring and pulls his hair up, as she sends a Pele Kick to his face!
Deadprez: Soccer player, man. She knows a thing or two about Pele and kicks, this chick is an absolute beast in her own right! Four-time top defender! That’s like Gary Payton on the Sonics! The Glove! Best defending guard of all time, and to this day! He’s locking people up like Nikki locked up Mattias here, as she’s immediately wrenching his arm down and up here! Doesn’t want him to make a move at all, but Mattias has been here before! He rolls forward and throws Nikki down with a Hip Toss! Crazy move from Mattias here!
Gavin Kirkland: Definitely a crazy move from Mattias, but that isn’t his craziest! He has some pretty insane tricks in the bag, and I can feel it! He wouldn’t be all this happy if he didn’t think he can do something insane here, and I know he will! Mattias flips his hair back, and immediately sees Nikki on the turnbuckle! He runs to jump on the top rope, as he leaps off and sends an elbow drop into Nikki! What a move! I told you he had some insane stuff in the bag! This kid is a freak athlete!
Eve: He has to definitely consider that doing so many stunts can lead to him being exhausted and unable to fight as his fullest! We’ve seen that from him before! Inexperience can lead him to do some stupid things, no matter how nice they may look! Nikki is clearly flabbergasted, as Mattias goes on the adjacent turnbuckle! He runs off it and is trying to go for a kick to her face, but no! Nikki dodges it and she jumps on the top rope, before taking him down with a neckbreaker! She has some flashy moves of her own, alright!
Deadprez: She’s showing that she isn’t all that outmatched in that department, no matter how it may look! Nikki is very athletic in her own right! Soccer is a tough sport, man! She decides that she wants to increase the pace, as she’s sending kicks of her own here! Mattias is getting hit with some devastating kicks to the thigh, and this may lead one of his greatest tools to be taken out of the fight! Kicks are being sent, and this is leading Nikki to have a massive advantage! Mattias is staggering forward, as Nikki throws him overhead with a Judo Throw, before attempting an armbar!
Gavin Kirkland: Mattias has to go back to good ol’ fashioned technical wrestling again, no matter how much it may seem like the worst choice here! He decides to clasp his hands, pushing her down and trying to get her out of the match early on, but she pushes him back and they seem to realise they can’t outwrestle the other! They might have another strategy in mind, but I can’t seem to figure out what it is! Perhaps they want to test each other’s gas tank, but I don’t know if she wants to go there with Mattias!
Eve: Soccer is 90 minutes, and if she’s a star defender, she’s playing a lot of those minutes! Her cardio is fine, Gavin. This is looking to be a match of pure athleticism, as Mattias decides to run full speed at her, taking her down with a Lariat! She’s seeing Mattias Burke’s rather naturally freakish speed in full display, and this might be the changing factor here! Mattias is one fast guy, no matter whether you like it or not! He is crazy fast, and that’s something he will never seem to shake off!
Deadprez: Some times he can be too fast for his own good, but this is not one of those times! If I’m Nikki, I’d be very careful here! This is where bad things can happen! Nikki gets up, as as Mattias tries to run at her again, she counteracts his momentum with a Soccer Tackle! Oh man, that’s quite the move! Mattias just faceplanted into the mat, and he’s clearly confused! It came out of nowhere, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re an insane Soccer Defender! She is just built like that, I’m pretty sure, man.
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe. All of that natural athleticism is coming into fruition here, and she’s clearly starting to show some signs of confidence! She knows she could possibly end it here, and this might be a match that might bring her so much joy! I’m sure of it! Mattias does not have anything to answer here, but we don’t know! Maybe he does have something to fight off of, as Nikki is coming in headfirst, trying to take him out! No! Mattias hits her with a Pele Kick of his own! Crazy stuff here, man! This dude is proving to everybody that he can do things on the fly!
Eve: And she stumbles back! She’s confused, and Mattias sees this! He can take full advantage of this right now if he really wants to, and it’s clear that’s what his intentions are! Matias immediately grabs her with force, locking her arms and hits with a Welcome to London! The Swinging Reverse STO connects and Mattias has her down! He has the advantage here now, and it’s clear that Mattias’ speed is proving to be too much for her! Mattias jumps on the top rope, and he hits a MOONSAULT! What a move, as he knows he can take her out right now!
Deadprez: He gets back up on the top rope, and he’s feeling himself! Nikki is out, and she does not know what to do here! She’s too asleep and unaware to do so! BRITISH AIRWAYS! THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS AND NIKKI IS OUT FOR GOOD! HE GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: AND YOUR WINNER, MATTIAS BURKE!
(‘We Won’t Back Down’ by Ra plays as Mattias has his hand raised in victory. He walks out through the titantron, while Nikki walks out through the back. He high fives some people in attendance.)
Deadprez: Surprise win by Mattias Burke and this could be the building up to something! Nikki was caught and she is being looked at by Kasai, slowly sitting up and looking a little shocked.
Eve: Maybe she took Mattias too lightly, but Nikki Kimiura is talented, she will learn from this and fight another day!
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe I need to get in the ring and comfort them in their need!
(The final shot is Nikki sat up and disappointed while Kasai tries to comfort her.The camer then shifts to the backstage area.)
(We cut to the corridors of the arena, where Daryl Kinkade is walking with real purpose. As he walks past several doors, taking in the name tags, he suddenly stops and takes the deepest of breaths. Without even knocking he then opens the door, and the camera follows him into the dressing room, panning over his shoulder to see Scott Diamond sat on a bench. As Daryl enters, Scott looks up and smirks, before getting to his feet.)
Scott Diamond: What are you doing here? I would have thought someone with your experience would have known not to sneak up on someone like me.
Daryl Kinkade: If I’d have been ‘sneaking’, you would never have seen me coming. Our current Champ can confirm that for you if you don’t believe me.
Scott Diamond: My time in this company means I always have eyes in the back of my head. Anyway, the question still stands. What are you doing here?
(Daryl now smirks also; this was exactly the reason he was here in the first place.)
Daryl Kinkade: What does it look like I am doing here bruv? Isn’t it obvious?
Scott Diamond: Humor me
(Scott had a good idea why Daryl was standing in his dressing room, but he had no intention of making it easy for him.)
Daryl Kinkade: You may have seen that Kennedy Street appointed me as the Captain of Showdown’s Brand Warfare team?
Scott Diamond: I may have seen that in passing yeah. So what?
Daryl Kinkade: Well, off the back of that, I’m here to ask you to join me. I want to recruit you to my team.
(Scott’s grin forms still further.)
Scott Diamond: Right… and I was the first person you thought of?
Daryl Kinkade: I thought of many options… but yeah, I’d like you to be on board, mate.
Scott Diamond: You have been watching the shows of late?
Daryl Kinkade: Of course
Scott Diamond: If that was the case Daryl then you would know that I am someone who cannot be trusted. You sure you want someone like that having your back?
(Scott eyes him, intrigued in what Daryl was about to say. To say Scott had a reputation of someone who didn’t play well with others was an understatement, and yet still Daryl wanted him on board. And he wanted to know why.)
Daryl Kinkade: That is exactly the reason why I need someone like you by my side, bruv. I know all about you, I knew that when I stepped into this room you would either listen, or you would throw me straight back out that door. But I want someone like that mate, a rebel, someone who beats to his own drum and takes no crap from anyone. Besides, taking all that into consideration, I want to win. So, I want the very best on my team so that we can teach the other brands that Showdown is where the real talent competes. So, what do you say Scott? You want to be a part of history?
(Scott thinks about it for a few moments, his eyes never leaving Daryl’s as he ponders all that he has just been told. He had to admit, there was a certain desire to butt heads with Voltage and Dynasty and show them what they lost when they didn’t take him in the draft. Slowly, but surely, he nods… Daryl nodding his head too.)
Daryl Kinkade: You won’t regret this mate. We got this.
(Daryl immediately turns on his heels and once through the door gives a little fist pump. Scott was a mountain of a man, an absolute powerhouse and would bulldoze through the opposition, giving Daryl the chance to take the credit for Showdown’s victory. Thus, proving that he should receive his rematch for the Answers World Championship. He walks away from the dressing room only a few yards and then stops. This time, he knocks, waiting for a few seconds for the door to open. When it does, it is ARIA who answers, a look of confusion forming on her face. Daryl smiles, being as courteous as he possibly can, ARIA remaining in the doorway.)
Daryl Kinkade: We need to talk, love.
(ARIA looks even more confused, and it is on that confused face that the scene fades back to ringside.)
( Camera returns to the ring where we see Gina Romano present standing with a microphone in her hands. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: WITH THE STIPULATION BEING IF DELILAH ROSE WINS, SHE EARNS A TITLE MATCH!
( ‘What The Dead Men Say’ by Trivium plays as Delilah Roses makes her way from the back and down the ramp, as the crowd immediately begins to boo her upon arrival. Delilah pays absolutely no attention to the crowd as she enters the ring with a focused look on her face. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY POUNDS, SHE IS ‘THE FINAL BOSS’… DELILAH ROSE!!!!
DeadPrez: Delilah Rose has been impressing me as of late, in the few months that she’s been on Showdown she’s had close bouts with the likes of Daryl Kinkade and ARIA. And she’s even managed to pick up a win against a formidable opponent in ‘The Huntress’ KASAI. But tonight proves to be the biggest match of Delilah Rose’s young career as a victory tonight guarantee’s her a championship opportunity.
Eve: Any other elitist would be anxious as ever knowing what’s on the line here but Delilah appears to have nerves of steel, if she can maintain this composure tonight might prove to be her night!
( ‘ What The Dead Men Say’ fades out and is immediately replaced by ‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G as Lucas Johnson makes his way down the ramp and into the ring where he’s met with a mixed reaction from the crowd. Lucas Johnson looks as determined as ever tonight as he stares a hole through Delilah Rose. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, FROM LONG ISLAND NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR POUNDS, HE IS ‘ THE WRESTLING MACHINE’ LUCAS JOHNSON!
DeadPrez: The look on Lucas Johnson’s face says it all. Tonight he is as motivated and determined as he’s ever been. Tonight Lucas Johnson has an opportunity to right the ship.
Eve: You’re right Prez, Lucas Johnson does have a great chance of righting the ship tonight, but standing across from him is a very game, Delilah Rose. Can ‘The Wrestling Machine’ prevail or does tonight belong to ‘The Final Boss’?
( Ding! Ding! Ding!)
DeadPrez: And here we go as Delilah Rose rushes Lucas Johnson, but the veteran Lucas Johnson, instantly catches Delilah as she charges him and slams her on her back with a huge bodyslam!
Eve: Delilah Rose immediately pops back up on her feet, but Lucas Johnson is laying in wait and takes her down with a clothesline!
Gavin Kirkland: Delilah Rose is having trouble gaining any momentum here as the veteran Lucas Johnson continues to dominate!
DeadPrez: Delilah Rose makes it back to her feet and as soon as she does, Lucas Johnson charges in— CROSSBODY!! But it doesn’t connect—DELILAH ROSE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND LUCAS JOHNSON EATS THE CANVAS!
Eve: LUCAS JOHNSON IS ON BOTH KNEES FAVORING HIS ABDOMEN— AND HE CATCHES A VICIOUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD COURTESY OF DELILAH ROSE! ‘THE FINAL BOSS’ LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE NOW AS SHE GRABS THE DOWNED LUCAS JOHNSON AND LIFTS HIM UP—GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS!!
Gavin Kirkland: LUCAS JOHNSONS EAGERNESS GETTING THE BETTER OF HIM, AS HE POPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET– HE CHARGES THE SMALLER DELILAH WHO INSTINCTIVELY PUTS A LEG UP— KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AND LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOUBLED OVER, DELILAH ROLLS OFF HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE PIN– THE SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!!
ONE!!
TW-
DeadPrez: Lucas Johnson kicks out! Lucas Johnson makes it back up to his feet, as Delilah Rose rushes in and whips him into the ropes– Lucas Johnson rebounds, and swings his arm—- HE’S GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE… BUT DELILAH ROSE HAS IT SCOUTED AS SHE DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE– LUCAS JOHNSON TURNS AROUND TRYING TO RECOVER— AND HE’S IMMEDIATELY FLOORED WITH A DROPKICK!
Eve: Delilah Rose is showing some amazing ring prowess here tonight. Matching a veteran in Lucas Johnson move for move. These two are having a mental chess match, and I think Delilah Rose is moving in for checkmate!
DeadPrez: I think you may be right Eve, Lucas Johnson makes it back to his feet and as soon as he turns around–DELILAH ROSE RUSHES AT HIM AND NEARLY CUTS HIM IN HALF WITH A SPEA— NO WAIT!! LUCAS JOHNSON CATCHES DELILAH MID-LUNGE AND SENDS HER FLYING WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!
Eve: I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN ANYONE COUNTER A SPEAR LIKE THAT– LEAVE IT TO LUCAS JOHNSON TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. MEANWHILE DELILAH ROSE IS ON THE CANVAS FAVORING HER LOWER BACK AS LUCAS JOHNSON MOVES IN FOR THE KILL!! LUCAS JOHNSON IMMEDIATELY MOUNTS THE YOUNG ELITIST AND BEGINS DELIVERING ELBOWS AND HAMMERFISTS TO THE HEAD AND FACE OF DELILAH ROSE!
DeadPrez: LUCAS JOHNSON IS AIMING TO BEAT THE HOPE OUT OF DELILAH ROSE HERE TONIGHT. HE SAID IT HIMSELF DELILAH ROSE IS A CRYBABY, AND SHE DOESN’T DESERVE A TITLE MATCH– AND IF LUCAS JOHNSON HAS IT HIS WAY, THAT WILL BE THE CASE. DELILAH IS TRYING HER HARDEST TO STOP THIS FLURRY OF STRIKES FROM LUCAS JOHNSON, BUT THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION IS UNWAVERING IN HIS ASSAULT!
Eve: LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT! EVERY PUNCH AND ELBOW SEEMINGLY A DECLARATION OF RAGE AND BITTERNESS FROM LUCAS JOHNSON. IN HIS MIND DELILAH ROSE HAS DONE NOTHING TO WARRANT A TITLE MATCH, HE BELIEVES IT SHOULD BE HIM. AND TONIGHT HE’S DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO MAKE THAT SO. AS HE STOPS HIS ASSAULT ON DELILAH ROSE, HE IMMEDIATELY PICKS HER BACK UP TO HER FEET AND LIFTS HER INTO THE AIR— BEFORE PLANTING HER INTO THE CANVAS WITH A HUGE SPINEBUSTER! DELILAH ROSE’S HEAD JUST BOUNCED OFF THE MAT LIKE A BASKETBALL, AND LUCAS JOHNSON ISN’T DONE THERE!
DeadPrez: NO HE’S NOT. LUCAS JOHNSON PICKS DELILAH ROSE UP TO HER FEET ONCE AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY WHIPS HER TO THE CORNER. LUCAS JOHNSON FOLLOWS AND LUNGES TOWARD THE CORNERED ELITIST— STINGER SPLASH!!! IT CONNECTS AND DELILAH ROSE HEAD ALL BUT ROLLS OFF HER SHOULDERS AS SHE SINKS INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: DELILAH ROSE IS SLUMPED IN THE CORNER— AND LUCAS JOHNSON TAKES HIS FOOT AND PLACES IT UNDER THE CHIN OF DELILAH ROSE BEFORE LIFTING HER HEAD UP WITH HIS FOOT. LUCAS JOHNSON TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK AND IMMEDIATELY CHARGES IN KICKING DELILAH SQUARE IN THE FACE WITH A SOCCER KICK, AND DELILAH ROSE MAY BE OUT COLD! LUCAS JOHNSON DRAGS THE NEARLY LIFELESS BODY OF DELILAH ROSE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!! THIS ONE IS OVER!!!
ONE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOO!!!
THR—-
DeadPrez: WHAT? DELILAH ROSE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! AND LUCAS JOHNSON IS CONFUSED. AS IS THIS ENTIRE ARENA, MYSELF INCLUDED. I DON’T THINK ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF THAT WAS A THREE-COUNT! DELILAH ROSE SHOWING A TON OF HEART HERE, AS LUCAS JOHNSON MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET AND GRABS A HANDFUL OF HER HAIR BEFORE PICKING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET AS WELL. LUCAS JOHNSON GRABS DELILAH ROSE BY THE ARM AND PULLS HER IN— SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE– NO WAIT!!
Eve: BEFORE LUCAS JOHNSON COULD PULL HER IN DELILAH BEGINS SENDING A FLURRY OF KICKS TO THE MIDSECTION OF LUCAS JOHNSON! KICK AFTER KICK FORCING LUCAS TO RELEASE HER ARM! DELILAH ROSE MAY BE RUNNING OFF INSTINCT HERE, EITHER THAT OR SHE’S JUST THAT DETERMINED TO SUCCEED, AS SOON AS LUCAS JOHNSON RELEASES HER ARM SHE TAKES A STEP BACK AND CHARGES THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION, NEARLY CUTTING HIM IN HALF WITH A SPEAR! AND THIS MAY BE THE MOMENTUM SWING DELILAH ROSE NEEDED!
Gavin Kirkland: DELILAH ROSE PICKS LUCAS JOHNSON BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND THIS TIME IT’S DELILAH THAT WHIPS LUCAS JOHNSON INTO THE CORNER— BUT INSTEAD OF CHARGING AT HIM, DELILAH ROSE BEGINS ASSAULTING HIM WITH A FLURRY OF KICKS AND KNEES TO THE MIDSECTION! DELILAH ROSE BACKS AWAY AND CHARGES AT LUCAS JOHNSON AND JUMPS UP— DOUBLE KNEES TO THE MIDSECTION AND LUCAS JOHNSON INSTANTLY HITS THE CANVAS AND BEGINS FAVORING HIS ABDOMEN!
DeadPrez: DELILAH ROSE MAY HAVE JUST KNOCKED ALL THE WIND OUT OF LUCAS JOHNSON’S SAILS AS HE DESPERATELY TRIES TO CATCH HIS BREATH… LUCAS JOHNSON MAKES IT BACK TO A KNEE STILL NOT ENTIRELY SURE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED— HE TURNS AROUND AND HE’S IMMEDIATELY MET WITH– A KISS GOODNIGHT !! THE SHINING WIZARD CONNECTS AND LUCAS JOHNSON GOES LIMP AS HE FALLS OVER FACE-FIRST INTO THE CANVAS! DELILAH ROSE SCRAMBLES TO MAKE THE PIN!!! SHE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS ONE IS OVER!!
ONE!!!!
TWOOOO!!!!
THR—
Eve: NO LUCAS JOHNSON GET’S THE SHOULDER UP, AND DELILAH ROSE IS DISTRAUGHT! SHE WAS CERTAIN THAT WAS ENOUGH TO PUT THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION AWAY!! LUCAS JOHNSON SHOWING TREMENDOUS RESILIENCE AND SHOWCASING WHY HE’S BEEN A MAINSTAY IN EAW FOR SO LONG!
Gavin Kirkland: Delilah Rose can’t believe what she just saw. She thought she had Lucas Johnson dead to rights, and now she needs to go back to the well one more time. That may be all it boils down to. One more big move and she finds herself exactly where she wants to be, right in the title picture. Delilah Rose makes it back to her feet and she’s begging for Lucas Johnson to make it back up to his!!
DeadPrez: DELILAH ROSE CAN PRACTICALLY TASTE THIS VICTORY— SHE’S ONE MOVE AWAY. THAT’S ALL IT’S GOING TO TAKE. LUCAS JOHNSON MAKES IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE TURNS AROUND TO A KICK TO THE GUT FROM DELILAH ROSE— DELILAH ROSE PICKS HIM UP DOUBLE HOOK STYLE— SHE’S GOING FOR…THE FINAL EPISODE—- THE FINAL EPISODE CONNEC— NO LUCAS JOHNSON SLIPS OUT FROM DELILAH’S GRIP AND LANDS BEHIND HER— LUCAS JOHNSON HOOKS DELILAH IN THE FULL NELSON POSITION— SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!!! LUCAS JOHNSON SENDS DELILAH ROSE PLUMMETTING TO THE MAT FACE FIRST AND THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO END HER DREAMS OF CHALLENGING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP!
Eve: THAT MOVE TOOK JUST AS MUCH OUT OF LUCAS AS IT DID DELILAH ROSE, AS LUCAS JOHNSON LAYS STILL ON HIS BACK TRYING TO GATHER THE ENERGY TO MAKE THE PIN!
DeadPrez: LUCAS JOHNSON HAS THIS MATCH WON AS HE HAS TO DO IS PIN DELILAH ROSE! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Eve: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN AND THE REFEREE HAS STARTED HIS COUNT.
ONE!!!!
TWO!!!!!
THREE!!!!
FOUR!!!!!!
DeadPrez: It would be a shame for this match to end in a no-contest after both of these elitists have given so much of themselves in an effort to win!!
FIVE!!!!!!
SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!
Eve: I agree with you wholeheartedly ‘Prez. It would be a shame, but nonetheless, the referee has to do his job! Both Delilah Rose and Lucas Johnson have yet to move or make it back up to their feet. This one’s looking like it’s a done deal.
EIGHT!!!
NINE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Yep, this one’s over.
TEN—
DeadPrez: WAIT— LUCAS JOHNSON COMES TO AND IMMEDIATELY LUNGES TOWARDS DELILAH ROSE— HE DRAPES THE ARM ACROSS THE SHOULDER IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT, AND THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BREAK HIS TEN COUNT AND COUNT THE PIN!!
ONE!!!
TWOOOOOO!!!!
THREE—–
Eve: DELILAH ROSE…KICKS OUT!!!!! I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE KEEPS DOING IT, BUT THIS YOUNG ELITIST IS GETTING MORE AND MORE IMPRESSIVE AS THIS MATCH GOES ON!
DeadPrez: Well I’ll tell you who’s not impressed with her efforts– Lucas Johnson. Lucas Johnson just unleashed one of the best moves in his arsenal and still, it wasn’t enough to keep ‘The Final Boss’ down. Delilah Rose is a woman on a mission, and if Lucas Johnson want’s to defeat her here tonight he needs to continue displaying the aggression he was earlier on in the match, and not give Delilah a chance to breath or recover.
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas Johnson, still looks a bit shocked as he gingerly makes his way to a knee and eventually back to a vertical base. He walks over to Delilah Rose, and immediately plants his foot on her neck! LUCAS JOHNSON CHOKING DELILAH ROSE AS THE REFEREE TRIES TO PULL HIM OFF TO NO AVAIL. THE REFEREE BEGINS HIS COUNT AND IF LUCAS JOHNSON DOESN’T RELEASE THE HOLD THIS MATCH IS GOING TO BE A DISQUALIFICATION VICTORY IN DELILAHS FAVOR!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!
FIV-
DeadPrez: LUCAS JOHNSON IMMEDIATELY REMOVES HIS FOOT, UTILIZING THE ENTIRETY OF THE REFEREE’S FIVE COUNT. VETERAN MOVE THERE BY LUCAS JOHNSON. LUCAS DROPS DOWN TO PICK DELILAH ROSE UP AND HE IMMEDIATELY WHIPS HER INTO THE ROPES— DELILAH FIRES OFF THE ROPES AND RETURNS BACK TO LUCAS JOHNSON, WHO THROWS HER OVER HIS SHOULDER- EXECUTING A BODY DROP—- NO… DELILAH WRAPS AN ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF LUCAS JOHNSON AND SHIFTS HER MOMENTUM BACKWARDS—DDT!! DELILAH ROSE WITH AN EXCELLENT COUNTER OUT OF VIRTUALLY NOWHERE!! DELILAH ROSE JUST PLANTED LUCAS JOHNSON ON TOP OF HIS HEAD!! AND SHE SHOOTS THE HALF!! THE REFEREE SLIDES INTO POSITION TO COUNT!!!
ONE!!!!
TWOOOO!!!
TH–
Eve: NO LUCAS JOHNSON GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE! DELILAH ROSE BEGINS PUNCHING THE MAT, CLEARLY FRUSTRATED AT HER INABILITY TO KEEP LUCAS JOHNSON DOWN. BUT NOW IS DEFINITELY NOT THE TIME TO LOSE YOUR COMPOSURE!
DeadPrez: Well that just goes to show how much winning this match means to her. She’s fighting for this victory and the opportunity at a title match as well. Delilah just needs to remain focused on the task at hand.
Gavin Kirkland: Delilah Rose, once more goes to pick Lucas Johnson up, and Lucas Johnson probably doesn’t even know where he is, as Delilah whips him into the ropes— Lucas Johnson counters and sends Delilah into the ropes instead, as Delilah bounces off the ropes and returns to Lucas Johnson — BOTH ELITISTS CHARGING ONE ANOTHER AND BOTH ELITISTS TAKING EACH OTHER OUT WITH CLOTHESLINES!
DeadPrez: BACK AND FORTH, THESE TWO HAVE GONE ALL NIGHT. BOTH OF THEM TRYING TO GET THE UPPER HAND ON ONE ANOTHER. BOTH OF THEM TAKING THE OTHERS BEST MOVE. BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM IS LEAVING VICTORIOUS HERE TONIGHT AS THE BOTH SCRAMBLE TO GET TO THEIR FEET! DELILAH ROSE MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET FIRST AS LUCAS JOHNSON FOLLOWS, LUCAS WALKS TOWARD DELILAH AND HE’S IMMEDIATELY MET WITH A BIG RIGHT HAND THAT STAGGERS HIM, BUT LUCAS IMMEDIATELY REGAINS CONTROL AND FIGHTS OFF A LEFT HAND OF HIS OWN THAT SENDS DELILAH ROSE TO A KNEE!! DELILAH QUICKLY REGAINS HER BALANCE AND SENDS A PUNCH OF HER OWN AT LUCAS JOHNSON, WHO IMMEDIATELY DOES THE SAME. THESE TWO ARE BRAWLING AND THIS CROWD IS ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT. LEFT FROM LUCAS, RIGHT FROM DELILAH.
Eve: LEFT. RIGHT. LEFT. RIGHT. BOTH OF THESE ELITISTS PUNCHES CONNECTING FLUSH BUT NEITHER ONE OF THEM WILLING TO BACK DOWN TO THE OTHERS AGGRESSION. LUCAS JOHNSON, GRABS THE HEAD OF DELILAH ROSE AND SENDS A BIG RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW OF ‘THE FINAL BOSS’ AND DELILAH ROSE IS BLEEDING FROM THE MOUTH— BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE PHASED THE YOUNG ELITIST WHO PULLS LUCAS JOHNSON IN— AND HEADBUTTS HIM!! HEADBUTT FROM DELILAH ROSE, AND LUCAS JOHNSON IS STAGGERING.
DeadPrez: THATS SOME OUT OF THE BOX THINKING THERE, AS DELILAH ROSE CHARGES LUCAS JOHNSON AND KNOCKS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A LARIAT!! BLOODY MOUTH AND ALL DELILAH ROSE MEANS BUSINESS! LUCAS JOHNSON IMMEDIATELY MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET, AND BEGINS RUBBING HIS HEAD TO MAKE SURE HE’S NOT BLEEDING AFTER EATING A HEADBUTT FROM DELILAH— ONCE HE NOTICES HE’S FINE HE CHARGES AT HER, AND DELILAH USES HIS OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HIM AND CATCHES HIM BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!!
Eve: LUCAS JOHNSON HOPS UP, RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE— HE AND DELILAH BOTH RUSH ONE ANOTHER— DELILAH ROSE HOPS UP— A KISS GOODNIGH— NO LUCAS JOHNSON SIDESTEPS HER AND FIRES OFF THE ROPES— THE LIGHTSWITCH !! THE CLAYMORE KICK CONNEC— NO WAIT THIS TIME IT’S DELILAH THAT MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND LUCAS JOHNSON FALLS FLAT ON HIS BACK!!!
DeadPrez: LUCAS JOHNSON POPS UP AND TURNS AROUND– AND DELILAH ROSE SPITS BLOOD RIGHT INTO HIS FACE!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS BLINDED AND HE’S FLAILING AROUND TRYING TO RESTORE HIS VISION!! HE TURNS… HE TURNS—- RIGHT INTO A SINGLE TEAR !! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS AND DELILAH ROSE GOT ALL OF IT!!
Eve: BUT DELILAH ROSE DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN! WHAT IS SHE DOING?
DeadPrez: SHE WANTS TO BE CERTAIN THAT THIS MATCH IS OVER!! DELILAH ROSE GINGERLY MAKES HER WAY TO THE CORNER AND BEGINS ASCENDING TO THE TOP!! SHE CAN FEEL THIS MATCH COMING TO A CLOSE!!! SHE MAKES IT PAST THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE, THEN THE SECOND AND FINALLY SHE MAKES HER WAY TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE PERCHING— SHE MEASURES LUCAS JOHNSON AND FINALLY SHE PUSHES OFF WITH ALL THE REMAINING ENERGY SHE HAS LEFT— FUNERAL FOR YESTERDAY !!! THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS TO THE ALREADY INJURED ABDOMEN OF LUCAS JOHNSON!! AND DELILAH ROSE GOT ABSOLUTELY ALL OF IT, AS SHE TURNS AROUND AND COLLAPSES ONTO THE MOTIONLESS BODY OF LUCAS JOHNSON! THE REFEREE SLIDES IN TO COUNT THE PIN AND THIS ONE IS OVER!!
ONE!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER…DELILAH ROSE!!!
( ‘What The Dead Men Say’ by Trivium begins to play as the crowd erupts into boos as Delilah Rose makes her way back up to her feet barely able to stand, a bloody smile forming across her face once she realizes what she just did. )
DeadPrez: Wow. Delilah Rose just went to war with a former New Breed Champion, and not only did she hold her own, she managed to pick up a BIG win in the process.
Eve: That’s right ‘Prez, this match truly could have gone either way. If it weren’t for Delilah Rose’s quick thinking, we easily could have been sitting here talking about Lucas Johnson and the dominant showing that he had. Take absolutely nothing away from Lucas Johnson he came to fight— but tonight just was not his night.
DeadPrez: There’s no doubt in my mind that this season will be a good season for Lucas Johnson, he’s got all the heart and determination one could ask for in an elitist, but as you said Eve tonight does belong to Delilah Rose. Not only did she just win against a very game Lucas Johnson but she’s earned herself a title match in the process. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this young talented elitist.
( The camera pans back to Delilah Rose making the championship motion around her waist as the crowd continues booing her, to which she pays absolutely no mind, as she exits the ring. Delilah Rose celebrates on the ramp one last time, much to the dismay of the crowd before the camera fades elsewhere. )
(Showdown faded backstage and towards the locker rooms, quickly focusing on a…very bright and very pink locker room in particular, Veena was sitting down over in a sofa inside of her and Ashlynn’s locker room and she simply let out a sigh while she was scrolling through social media, right now, she was in a bit of a horrible mood, in actuality, she was in a bad mood most days but tonight she was in a different kind of horrible mood, not incredibly angry and annoyed mood, more like…unhappy mood, she didn’t want to do anything tonight kind of mood, and even though she didn’t have a match tonight Ashlynn asked her to meet up with her in their locker room and hang out, even though she kind of didn’t want to that day…and seriously, she was somehow starting to get tired of the pink, why did Ashlynn have to cover the whole locker room in pink-)
(Just then, someone ends up kicking the door open to the locker room and Ashlynn rushes in with a gigantic smile on her face and feeling incredibly excited as she raises her voice in an incredibly loud manner.)
Ashlynn Quinn: VEENAAAAAA, I AM HEREEEEEEEEEE!
(Veena lets out a small scream being caught off guard by Ashlynn suddenly kicking the door open before she lets out another sigh, a bit more annoyed than before as she quickly speaks up.)
Veena Adams: Ashlynn, I am PRETTY sure you didn’t need to kick the door open to tell me you were here now.
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh Mother, let me assure you, I really needed to do it because believe me, I have such a great day planned ahead for the both of us, you know what we are going to do? You know? You know???
Veena Adams: …What are we going to do Ashlynn-
Ashlynn Quinn: WE ARE GOING TO GO TO A SPAAAAA, YAAAASSSSSS! Let me tell you, we are going to have such an amazing time there, we are going to arrive to a pink condo, then we are going to have some very talented and very beautiful masseuses wearing pink to give us out of the world massages, and oh, oh, how can I forget? We are also going to get pedicures and manicures and we are going to get pink in our nails of all kind! Barbie pink, hot pink, light pink, silver pink-
(Veena’s eye was kind of twitching now as she heard Ashlynn beginning to recite almost every type of pink that existed on planet Earth and she quickly made sure to cut her off as she put on a very fake smile trying to not show how much in a bad mood she was in right now.)
Veena Adams: Oh that just sounds like…such a great idea, Ashlynn! You truly do know what I like and what I appreciate, you are such a great…friend, yes!
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh, my, GOSH! Thank you so much Mother, that makes me uber happy, genuinely! But no offense, maybe when you are smiling you should relax your face muscles, they are very tense and it looks like you are forcing a fake smile but don’t worry, when we are done with the Spa, you are going to look so SLAY!
(Ashlynn then quickly grabbed Veena’s hand and then quickly pulled her along and out of the locker room. It quickly transitioned from MCH Arena into a very cozy and incredibly pretty spa in Denmark, and just like Ashlynn told to Veena, they did almost everything they could, making sure to get pedicures and manicures like she said, skincare treatments for their face, hanging out in a condo being able to wish for anything they wanted, as well as Ashlynn giving Veena a personal feast with her favorite food and finally, they were receiving their massages by two beautiful masseuses as the two of them were laying down in massage tables as Ashlynn was simply enjoying every possible moment that she could out of the day, quickly speaking over to Veena.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh wow, Veena…it has been such an amazing day to spend with you!
Veena Adams: Mhm.
Ashlynn Quinn: The service here was just absolutely top notch and I truly wouldn’t have wanted anything else!
Veena Adams: Uh-huh.
Ashlynn Quinn: And honestly, spending this whole day with you made me totes happy! Genuinely Veena, I just want to say to you that I- wait, what are you doing?
(Ashlynn turned to Veena confused and she saw that right now she was simply focused on her phone and not even paying attention to what Ashlynn was saying as she ended up raising her voice.)
Ashlynn Quinn: VEEEENNAAAAAA!
(Veena is once more taken off guard as she almost drops her phone and lets out probably her tenth sigh of the day as she responds to Ashlynn.)
Veena Adams: Sorry, I guess…ugh, I can’t really continue to hide this from you, Ashlynn, I really haven’t enjoyed this whole spa day at all, yes, everything we did was pretty relaxing and enjoyable and also you did your best to try and make the whole experience Barbie themed but this day wasn’t just the kind of day to do it for me, I am…not in the best of moods, I have just felt…down in a sense.
(Ashlynn’s expression quickly turned into one of worry as she heard that kind of thing, turning over to Veena and quickly speaking up.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh my gosh Mother, why didn’t you tell me that sooner? I would have prepared to get that bright smile on your face once again, but don’t worry, I have THE best idea to cheer you up!
Veena Adams: Oh? Which is it?
Ashlynn Quinn: Well, I was going to leave this a surprise when we came back to your house but hear me out, that Corvette that you have in your garage? Let me tell you…I TURNED IT PINK! DOES THAT CHEER YOU UP?
Veena Adams: …What?
Ashlynn Quinn: Let me tell you, it was so hard to get the right guy to do the paint job, pick the pink that you would like and also grab the keys to the car without you noticing-
Veena Adams: No, no, Ashlynn…you do know I don’t live alone, right?
Ashlynn Quinn: …What do you mean by that-
(Suddenly, Veena’s phone starts ringing as “ME! by Taylor Swift” plays as her ringtone, Veena quickly looked down to see who was calling and she knew this wasn’t going to be good, she quickly answered the call and put it on speaker.It was her housekeeper.)
Francesca (on the phone) VEENA, WHAT HAPPENED WITH MR. CHARLIE’S CAR??? WHY IS IT ALL PINK?!
Veena Adams: Wait… OMG! Francesca, don’t panic! It was just…Ashlynn trying to give me a surprise and she accidentally got the wrong car.
Francesca: (on the phone) Ashlynn? It is that the lady who throws rocks at your window when sleeping in the middle of the night!?
(Ashlynn then looked away feeling a bit dejected after hearing those words while Veena could only sigh when hearing that.)
Veena Adams: Yeah, Francesca, that is her.
Francesca (on the phone) Of course it was her! Look, just…get here when you can and help me fix this, alright? I am already entering the house and all the walls are they covered in pink too?! Mr. Charlie will have a heart attack!
(The panicked Francesca’s voice is cracking on the phone as Veena looked over to Ashlynn confused.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Well, I was going to put the walls of the house pink but I decided to instead replace the normal light bulbs with fluorescent pink light bulbs…that are very bright!
Veena Adams: Of course- look, Francesca, I’ll be there as soon as I can, be careful!
Francesca: (on the phone) Hurry Ms. Veena! Hurry!
(Veena then quickly hangs up the phone and turns towards Ashlynn with a worried expression on her face.)
Veena Adams: Ashlynn, Charlie is in Copenhagen, so you dodged a bullet. Look, I truly appreciate everything that you have tried to do today, but just giving me all of this Barbie-related stuff won’t cheer me up so easily from the mood that I am in, it is about the National Elite Championship, I feel…sad and bothered about it having to lose it like that at Pain for Pride, it was years of hard work, years of having to be rejected and pushed away in so many different brands, in so many opportunities before, I actually earned that title, with everything that I have learned and pushed through over my years here in EAW, and having to lose it like THAT?! In that manner at Pain for Pride? In a manner that was out of my control? It just pisses me off and makes me feel…sad, about in a way, and some simple spa day won’t be able to fix everything that has happened.
(Veena shook her head as she quickly got up and out of the massage table with the massauses stopping, turning back towards Ashlynn.)
Veena Adams: Thanks for this Ashlynn, but…I had enough. Francesca probably fell down the stairs because of those bright lights you put so I have to go help her out, see you later, alright?
(Veena then turned around and walked away as Ashlynn looked over feeling confused and definitely horrified after hearing that, quickly getting out of the massage table as well with her expression turning into one of determination.)
Ashlynn Quinn: I can’t let Mother keep feeling like that, I have to do something about it and fast!
(Ashlynn then rushed out of there as soon as she could and Showdown faded quickly back to the arena.)
(We cut back to the ring, and to the announce table.)
Deadprez: Welcome back guys to what has already been an unbelievable show. Things now starting to take shape for Territorial Invasion.
Eve: And here’s hoping that Showdown can have a better showing than they have in recent years.
Gavin Kirkland: With Adam Lucas and Daryl Kinkade as Team Captains we are going to take it all.
Eve: Err, don’t want to burst your bubble, but Adam was Captain last year too.
Gavin Kirkland: Details, Details.
Deadprez: Up next, we got two people who used to be friend. Two people who know each other well…
(Rhapsody in Pink by Stela Cole starts to play over the PA system, and Princess Candice steps out onto the ramp, dressed in her very finest Disney Princess dress, topped off with the finest Tiara that she could find. That music stops, and is replaced by whimsical, fluffy tones, the kind you expect from a Disney production. And this is a production. No sooner has Candice stepped onto the staging, she is joined by Disney Character both old and new, all doing that special Disney dance to the music. We see Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse, prancing and dancing, but by the same token we see Buzz Lightyear and Moana. The stage is absolutely every single bit the Disney scene you would expect to see if ever you were lucky enough to visit one of the theme parks. But the one person who barely wears a smile on her face is Candice, and although the glimmer is still there, she is obviously NOT a Happy princess. The events of the past few weeks having taken the shine away from the rainbows and unicorns she had gotten used to. As she walks, she doesn’t dance. She still takes the time to interact with the fans, but she leaves the dancing to Mickey, and to Minnie Mouse who has just come through the curtain as well. The characters circle the ring, as Candice walks up the steps and into the ring and is passed a mic. She then lifts her hands, every bit like the Princess she is, and the music fades, allowing her to speak.)
Princess Candice: I am not a Happy Princess…
Deadprez: You can’t tell
Eve: What gives it away.
Deadprez: She’s a Princess, I can’t say that. I’ll get stoned.
Gavin Kirkland: Say it, I dare you.
(Camera focusses once again on Candice.)
Princess Candice: All I have ever wanted is for this to be the place that Walt Disney imagined all those years ago. I want the EAW and Disney endeavor to be the most magical place on Earth. I think that I have done an amazing job. I have brought my friends here to Showdown to show you just how happy the world of Disney can be, a break from all the bad that consumes the world. I gave you a beautiful scene, with Deer, Birds singing, a place for you all to enjoy. Although I brought you that, I have been searching, searching for that one thing that would persuade everyone to join me. So that finally, EAW and Disney could be joined as one.
(The characters around the ring applaud, and hug each other, very much agreeing with that sentiment.)
Princess Candice: I thought I had found that last year, when the ‘Disney Besties’ spread love and joy all over this company. And now look, tonight I am having to face one of them, because they have been enchanted by the darkness. They have turned to a World of hate, and judgement. They have turned their back on everything wholesome, and pure. I’ll never do that; I’ll never give up the fight. I’ll be a Disney Princess until I get my happy ever after. Because it is obvious to me, and all my lovely friends here at ringside, that there is evil in this company. There is EVIL that is taking over Showdown and stopping the love from spreading. That evil, it has a name. And that name is Caroline. It might as well be Ron DeSantis! She is the Ugly Sisters and the Wicked Witch all rolled up into one. But she will not prevail. Me and my friends will not allow it. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that Good triumphs over Evil, and I bet my pretty little tiara on that. I will stop them, in honor of all the Princesses that ever went before me. And I am going to start right NOW…
Deadprez: Oh no
Eve: Oh, dear God
Gavin Kirkland: She isn’t… is she?
(Once again music starts to play, rose petals start to fall from the ceiling covering the fans in a blanket of red. That’s not all though, because Candice brings the mic to her lips, and she starts to sing, the characters around the ring joining in with her.)
Princess Candice: Disney will always be a joyous place… everyone can admire my beautiful Princess face!
(Candice then hands the mic to Gina Romano who enters….)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ET FALD!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… ALREADY IN THE RING….FROM ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA!!!!… WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS!!!… ‘THE FACE OF DISNEY’ !!!!… PRINCESS!…. CANDICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…. BLAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: Alright so!
Gavin Kirkland: 101 facts with Gavin today: Anytime Candice Blair has walked down towards the ring, the viewership for the show itself goes off the roof instantly, and do you want to know why? It’s Candice Blair! She’s a draw! The greatest of all time! The heartthrob of Disney for a reason! The reason that certain movies didn’t go well, but they still thrive is because of the merchandise related to Candice Blair that came out this year, it’s been soaring in popularity with collaborations with Disney, doing a big number on the market right now! Candice Blair is undoubtedly a legendary figure!
Deadprez: I’m sure, that’s a good news story, but at the same time, there are both good and bad news as well. Candice Blair, at the moment, has to come to terms with her new foe who is likely to be Carolien. But tonight, she’s set to fight her former Disney bestie, which is going to be an intriguing matchup to watch.
(‘Ten Ton Hammer’ by Machine Head begins playing again. Her smile fades a bit, looking back at the stage as Hasley Neel slowly walks out and locks onto Candice with quite an enthusiastic smile to see her friend once again. Halsey throws the smile away and shifts her full focus for this match, heading straight to the ring and looking for the challenge that Candice will bring to her tonight. )
Gina Romano: HER OPPONENT!… REPRESENTING THE DEVOLUTION!…. FROM BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND!…. WEIGHING IN AT 159 POUNDS!… ‘THE RIPPER’!… HALSEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!….. NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL!!!!
Gavin Kirkland:Do you know the song that said when there are heroes, that’s villain in the night? Well, there’s none of that here because we have the two heroes of Disney coming and facing each other as well! I know, well, I’m aware that Hasley might not seem like a hero, but looking on the bright side, how hot she is could make her a hero of all men from all over the world there!
Eve: Besides what Gavin just said, Halsey has just joined Devolution and become the newest member alongside Devotionality Valderzee. Tonight, she’s facing Candice Blair, looking set and eager to score against her new opponent here. With pride for the Devolution, she’s now around the ring, highlighting the ground that she has been under their employment recently.
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: Disney Besties Battle! OMG! GRRRRRRRRRR! Guys, you don’t know how much I have been waiting for these matches as well. Because these two women have one thing in common, and that’s the beauty they both hold on the same par. I know Halsey looks a bit scary at times, she has some killer face, but the rest of her body and beauty… let me tell you, she’s the most underrated woman in the RAW roster when it comes to that aspect. That matters. Candice always be like that, and I have nothing else to say because everybody could’ve gone without saying where! You see, these two haven’t been sitting well with each other throughout this week because they have to come and face each other, but trust me… Disney’s bestie relationship lasts forever, so this could be leaning towards more like a friendship relationship that Disney always expects to have! :ahh:
Eve: We know that you are so much excited for this match to unfold already, and you will be enjoying it because despite their characters, Halsey and Candice are quite competitive when it comes to showcasing their talent, so this is a match that could be worth watching and could sit well for all of us here tonight. Halsey has become the new addition to Devolution lately, and Candice Blair is here. I mean, Princess Candice, whom she may want to refer to herself, has been dealing with Caroline, who seems to be the new foe for her at the moment. Last week, Halsey was able to settle a score against Ice Aces alongside her new partner, Serenity Vadez. So tonight, she looks to score more as she’s up against Candice Blair here.
Gavin Kirkland: No! Don’t say anything bad about her attitude! Candice has always been the nicest person to me, just like how she used to be with Danny Tanner! She has always been nice to me in every single aspect you have ever imagined. Don’t talk about my mother like that! Anyway, guys, we should be focusing on this match because this is too much talk from both of us already! Candice and Halsey come and meet each other in the center of the ring and look at each other, both staring at each other! Do you guys think they are going to kiss?
Deadprez: Well, it seems like Candice wants to play nice here first. Look at the sign of respect she is extending toward Halsey here.
( Candice and Halsey look at each other, both of them are smiling at each other. Candice slowly extends her hand and looks at Halsey as she keeps on smiling at her as well. Halsey looks down at her hands, looking hesitant and unsure. The crowd seems like they want her to accept the handshake as well. Halsey then shrugs and then she’s just about to accept it….. )
( Which Halsey does! )
Gavin Kirkland: Awww that’s so nic-
Eve: Couldn’t even get any nicer from there! Halsey immediately lures Candice in, and she’s about to execute a German Suplex that’ll send Candice for a loop! But Candice proves to be swift, evading by ducking into a back elbow aimed right at Candice Blair’s eyes. Both of Candice’s feet hit the ground securely, all thanks to the strategic use of the elbow in the midst of it all!
Deadprez: Halsey staggers back, reeling from the force of Candice’s strike, then shifts her focus and heads up towards Halsey, seizing her waistband and launching Halsey on a journey towards the ropes! Halsey rebounds off the ropes, and Candice seizes the opportunity to try and bring her down a notch! Halsey springs back, managing to sidestep the move just in the nick of time. She turns back, and the knee strike finds its mark right on the money, connecting to the back of Candice’s head!
Gavin Kirkland: Candice takes the knee, connecting right at the apex of her head like that! Hey, don’t get rough at each other just yet! I just need a brief break to notice something cool and awesome, like last week when I took my cousin to watch a rugby game together! We need to form a team, a team together, and create something magnificent first! Don’t hurt each other, guys! I know it’s wrestling and you all have to engage in combat, but I don’t really enjoy seeing friends hurting each other!
Eve: It couldn’t be helped if that’s the case, you want Gavin! Candice takes a roll to the outside, clutching her head, and Halsey follows her path like a hawk tracking its prey. Halsey elegantly slips under the bottom rope, descending to the ringside turf, and plucks Candice from the ground with care, rescuing her face from the ring’s apron before planting her gut firmly on the cusp of it! Halsey seizes Candice once more, propelling her gut against it with an undeniable force!
Deadprez: Surely there isn’t going to be much friendship for you to appreciate at the moment, Gavin! Now look, Halsey is putting all her eggs in this basket, and she just sends Candice rolling back inside the ring’s edge… Halsey drags herself off the canvas back to both feet while Candice tries to regain her equilibrium, even though she’s still reeling from the shot of being hurled into the ring area by Halsey’s raw power.
Eve: Seizing the reality that Candice has handed her, Hasley hammers Candice back more and roars to remain her dominance on the ground! Well, Gavin, I’m quite certain you probably won’t find watching this to your liking, right?
Gavin Kirkland: I want to cry!
Deadprez: I’m sorry to hear that, Gavin. Anyway, guys, we have the match to still focus on despite the emotions. Halsey has been harnessing a vendetta of these emotions since the bell started ringing. Halsey, who still carries the baggage of this animosity, kicks Candice off the ground and noses her flying toward the corner. Halsey hits the ground running, aiming to nab her with a Corner Running face wash, her right foot soaring sky-high, teetering on the edge of connecting right across her jaw!
Eve: Does it really? No! Candice manages to turn the tables this time, swinging herself out of the tight corner, leaving Halsey stuck with her leg wedged into the corner! Halsey tries to free her leg from the top turnbuckle, but Candice springs from behind, taking her down with a Chop Block executed with finesse!
Gavin Kirkland: Princess Candice is now back in the driver’s seat, reigniting her old fire and starting to play her own hand, alternating between slapping her face with left and right hands, a playful jab at her opponent! The Princess is not really in the mood to be taking a nap after the strategic maneuvers Halsey has been attempting throughout this ordeal!
Gavin Kirkland: Candice now gets herself off the ground, coming up on her feet, and she immediately seizes the opportunity to continue her assault in this heated contest. She hoists The Ripper herself, lifting her right into the air and latching onto Hasley’s head with an Exploder Suplex! The Exploder Suplex sends Hasley sailing, almost flipping over her head and landing on her front down on the ground! Princess is back on the top of her game once again!
Deadprez: The Sharpshooter may have to think for something better, because everything slips through her grasp whenever she tries to stand her chance against The Princess of Desiny, much like Candice in that moment. With Candice recharging her energy, Candice has Halsey rebounding off the ground right after the second, now shoulder-thrusting her directly into the corner and now repeatedly smashing her gut with more shoulder blocks, relentlessly targeting her abdominal part of her body!
Eve: Even though I don’t want to admit that this match has been really nice to me, but I can’t deny the fact that Candice is still holding onto the momentum in this game with something potent that resonates with emotion! Disney has high expectations for delivering spectacle to the audience, and Candice is doing an excellent job right now, showing that she could bring something unique to the competition as well! Candice is done with shoulder thrusts that now she grabs Halsey out of the corner, and snaps her down to the canvas with Halsey stationed at the center of the ring…
Deadprez: OOOOO CALL THE POLICE! THAT SHOOT KICK TO THE BACK JUST SENT THE SHIVERS DOWN HALSEY’S SPINE!
Gavin Kirkland: You thought Disney was just for kids? NAH NAH! Candice doesn’t even show that Disney is even of the kick after the kick and displaying that it could be relating to wrestling as well, because that one kick solidly signifies why even the Disney Princess like Candice Blair could also be doing some real wrestling that nobody thought could have seen? You thought Japanese wrestling can’t get along with her? Candice Blair signing with them proves you wrong!
Eve: Candice pulls Halsey off the ground, sending her flying toward the ropes again. Candice follows her eyes to where Halsey goes, throwing clotheslines but Halsey ducks under them adeptly! Halsey pops up behind and snatches Candice, seamlessly flying over her head while connecting Candice with a Bridging Dragon Suplex! Halsey proceeds with a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: MY PRINCESS KICKS OUT! WHICH ONE? THE BLONDIE ONE!
Deadprez: Halsey with a quick move was able to take down Candice in time, but her back is still quite sore from a sharp kick she stiffly endured earlier in this encounter. Halsey now heading off the turnbuckle upon her feet, begins helping Candice climb back to both feet again. Halsey sends Candice pushing backward toward the ropes behind her and swiftly joins her, flying against the ring! Halsey follows suit as she aims to connect with Candice using a Roundhouse Kick once she rebounds off those ropes!
Eve: Candice ducks underneath the kick in time, saving herself from putting a strain on her own back! Halsey misses the kick and turns back around. Candice tries to connect with a Yakuza Kick, but Halsey catches her leg and takes both of her legs down. Halsey then ensnares one of Candice’s legs, and she attempts to apply the Heel Hook!
Deadprez: The Princess is still not so close to putting Halsey down just yet, with herself managing to use both feet to push Halsey right back away from her! The Ripper misses their target, but she doesn’t end there, quickly running back towards Candice when she’s just about on her feet again, looking to take her down once more! Candice sidesteps and rides the wave off Halsey’s knee, snatching her by the waist. She propels her airborne, and Halsey meets the ground courtesy of a Saito Suplex! Candice hooks the leg and goes for a cover this time!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: HALSEY KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: I TOLD YOU THAT CANDICE HAS NEVER BEEN SOFT AND WEAK DESPITE HOW NICE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HERE! DISNEY PRINCESS DOESN’T WANT TO FOOL AROUND ANY SIDE, AND SHE MIGHT JUST WANT TO WRAP THIS UP SOONER. WITH CANDICE DETERMINEDLY YANKING HALSEY’S HAIR BACK AND GRABBING HER BACK UP ONTO BOTH FEET, CANDICE GETS HALSEY OFF THE GROUND AND HAS HER LOCKED IN A HOLD THERE. HALSEY SLUGGISHLY JOGS BACK TO THE ROPE RIGHT BEHIND HER AND TAKES SOME STEPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE, FLYING OFF AS SHE SEARCHES FOR THE ‘COLORS OF THE WIND’ TORNADO DDT TO DECISIVELY PLANT HALSEY RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Eve: HALSEY IS STILL ON TOP OF HER GAME AND DOESN’T LET CANDICE PLANT HER JUST YET! HALSEY DROPS CANDICE INTO POSITION WHEN THE DDT IS JUST ABOUT TO SEND HER FACE RIGHT INTO THE GROUND! HALSEY PUSHES CANDICE AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY CONNECTS THE SIDE OF HER HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE CATCHES THE PRINCESS IN NO TIME, AND SHE SENDS CANDICE FLYING WITH HER ARM, LANDING HER BACK RIGHT ON HER RIGHT KNEE WITH A URANAGE BACKBREAKER! IT PLANTS! CANDICE TAKES A BREATHER, AND HALSEY SWIFTLY ZOOMS BACK TO THE CORNER LIKE A BULLET FIRED FROM A GUN! HALSEY HAS EVERYTHING ORCHESTRATED AND SHE’S AIMING DEAD CENTER AT CANDICE, LOCKED AND LOADED FROM THE CORNER!
Deadprez: OH BOY, HALSEY MIGHT WANT TO SHATTER THE MAGIC SHE’S SEEKING TO ANNIHILATE IN THE DISNEY WORLD RIGHT HERE! SHE’S ALREADY INCLUDED CANDICE WITHIN HER SIGHTS, AND NOW SHE BEGINS SPRINTING TOWARDS THE CORNER ONCE CANDICE GETS BACK UP ON HER FEET! HALSEY IS AT FULL SPEED, AIMING FOR THE ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEAD’ COMBINATION OF KICKS THAT WILL COME SOONER TO THE PRINCESS HERSELF!
Gavin Kirkland: HEADBUTT CATCHES HER OFF GUARD AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI IN RETURN FROM HALSEY!
Deadprez: CANDICE IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE KICK, AND SHE STUMBLES BACK, FINDING HERSELF LEANING AGAINST THE ROPES WHILE CLUTCHING HER HEAD. HALSEY QUICKLY MANEUVERS HER WAY BACK TO THE CANVAS, USING THE ROPES AS A SPRINGBOARD, AND SEIZES CANDICE, HOISTING HER RIGHT ONTO HER SHOULDERS! HALSEY HAS CANDICE IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION AND NOW SLIDING HER DOWN THE SIDE!…
Deadprez: ROUNDHOUSE KICK BEHEADS HER! ‘BLOOD ON THE LEAVES’ BY HALSEY!
Gavin Kirkland: ‘SPINNING WHEEL’ SPINNING HEEL KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR! DOWN GOES HALSEY! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
Deadprez: HALSEY KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE MANAGES TO TURN THE TABLES ON HALSEY BY THE TIME THE RING SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO STEAL ANOTHER SCORE AGAINST HALSEY, JUST AS SHE HAD DONE IN THEIR PAST MATCH AGAINST EACH OTHER! THE PRINCESS MAY BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF VICTORY TONIGHT AFTER THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK CONNECTS RIGHT BEFORE HALSEY COULD EVEN GET HER STARTING MOVE GOING!
Eve: HALSEY COULD BARELY EVEN MOVE AN INCH AT THIS POINT, AND CANDICE ALREADY HAS HER IN A HOLD! SHE’S NOW SETTING UP FOR THE ‘DISNEYLAND DESTROYER’ TO BRING IT ALL TO AN END RIGHT THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?
( When Candice is just about to connect her finishing move, all the lights suddenly go out, and everybody murmurs in confusion as nobody knows what’s going on. We could hear eerie, otherworldly noises being played, sounding eerie and unsettling, a high-pitched voice mixed up with some mysterious creature-like noises. The crowd goes from murmuring to a little silence due to their fear in the noises they had heard. With the lights slowly coming back, it suddenly reveals something that leaves her crowd even more perplexed. )
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHO DID THIS????
( The scene reveals Candice Blair, looking totally out, while being covered in a complete black goo, leaving everybody shocked yet confused about what has just happened to the Princess of Disneyland. At that moment, Halsey is a bit surprised by the unfolding of events in front of her eyes as well. She sits there in the ring, looking down at Candice Blair, not moving the slightest bit, allowing the black goo to continue covering her. )
Eve: EVEN WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAD HAPPENED! HALSEY DOESN’T WASTE MUCH TIME, SEIZING THIS OPPORTUNITY INTO HER ADVANTAGE, ADJUSTING CANDICE UPON INTO A PERFECT POSITION THERE!… ‘THE FALL’ ADJUSTMENT PILEDRIVER! SHE GOES FOR A COVER!
Gavin Kirkland: SERIOUSLY????
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!…. HALSEY NEEL!
Gavin Kirkland: HEY, THIS IS SERIOUSLY UNFAIR! WHAT JUST HAPPENED? HOW DID THAT MATCH END LIKE THAT? AND WHO JUST SPILLED SOMETHING WEIRD ON CANDICE BLAIR, MAKING HER LOOK SO UGLY THERE?! YOU KNOW, IF I CAUGHT SOMEONE DOING THIS, I WOULDN’T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK BY NOW! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SILLY!
Eve: We were in the dark about how that unfolded at the end of the match, but Halsey has notched up another victory and just added another feather to her cap! Could this be a result of Carolien’s handiwork or someone else’s antics?
Deadpreszs: Man, darn it! I wish this could have been a clean match without any stupid hiccups as well, but well, I guess we couldn’t be stopped there, which is intriguing to be honest, in this action that could lead to something unexpected. I have to see how Candice is going to get through this, but from now on, it’s back to Hasley forcing herself onto another win here tonight.
( ‘Ten Ton Hammer’ by Machine Head plays as Halsey wipes some black goo off her after taking down Candice. She’s back on both feet, looking back to Candice and still a little confused by what just happened. But she raises her hand up high to the arena, celebrating her victory over Candice while a swarm of referees comes in and checks Candice on the ground, wiping the black goo off her body with towels and a couple of things that could help Candice being cleaned up. The camera shot displays Halsey looking around while she’s celebrating a victory then the scene fades to elsewhere.)
(Showdown faded quickly towards Kennedy Street’s office, she finished working something and she was once again enjoying her break but right now, she was totally focused and she wasn’t going to get distracted, she knew FULL WELL what happened the last two times she was on her break, and the last two times she got interrupted during them was the constant of Lucas Johnson, but not this time, as soon as she sees him peek his head anywhere near that door? She is ordering AJAX to shut the door on his face and make him wait until her break is over, yes, the plan is full proof, nothing can go wrong with it. She is taking deep breaths in and out as AJAX turned over to look at her with a confused look as Kennedy turned quickly to look at him to speak up.)
Kennedy Street: Don’t give me that look, AJAX, Kennie is simply doing a breathing exercise to calm her anger, because seriously, I truly can’t believe one person can be this annoying, either he is really positive about his chances or he is just simply that dense, I am not even sure why I decided to go through with the Unique Opportunity thing, I just wanted those three people out of my office and stop bothering me, and now I have Lucas Johnson bothering me coincidentally when I am on my break! But not this time honey, I got my eyes right on him and he is not escaping me at all-
Lucas Johnson: Hey, Kennedy, I am already here ready for my unique opportunity!
(Kennedy quickly turned her head as fast as she could and her eyes widened a lot once she saw Lucas standing in front of her desk with a smile on his face…how did he enter without making a single noise?! Kennedy was flabbergasted as she turned to AJAX and he shrugged, confused as well.)
Kennedy Street: Wha-…How-
Lucas Johnson: Yeah, I am wondering as well how pretty the day ended up becoming, it was raining all day in the morning but now the sun is shining brightly in the sky, you should put on a bright smile too Kennedy, it is a good day after all, and of course, who can I forget? MY MAN!
(He turns over towards AJAX and holds up a high five but AJAX simply stares down at him with a death stare, Lucas simply nods slowly and high fives himself as he walks back and turns towards Kennedy Street who is still confused as hell.)
Lucas Johnson: Right, as I was saying, I can’t wait for the Unique Opportunity that you are going to give me, genuinely, the past few seasons I will admit, totally my bad, they weren’t the best things ever but now I feel like on THIS Season? Aw man, I can’t wait for what it is about to entail, I feel like I am up in the clouds and I just simply can’t come down from them, you understand?
Kennedy Street: (whisper) Oh, do I wish I was up in the clouds in my private jet going on my vacation away from you…
Lucas Johnson: I didn’t hear what you just said right now but I will assume it is a yes! So for once, I would like to say I have high expectations! I am confident in saying that this season is going to be great for me, and things are already starting to look up seeing how I manhandled Scott Diamond last week-
Kennedy Street: :comeagain: Huh? Wait, hold on, what did you say? You lost honey…again.
Lucas Johnson: Yeah, yeah, I know, but let’s not sweat the details like that :whoa: I still feel like I did PRETTY good in that match and I held up in my own, and hey, let’s think about the positives, not the negatives, I am doing a lot better and I already got TWO wins so far this season! It is the little victories in life, you know?
(Kennedy genuinely can’t believe what she is hearing as she turned over towards AJAX with her jaw dropped and her arms spread in a confused manner.)
Kennedy Street: :wtf:
AJAX: This guy is stoopid.
Lucas Johnson: Alright, alright, let’s not start jumping the shark like that now, I can explain myself, we can have a friendly discussion here-
Kennedy Street: Ok, you know what honey, I will bite, because you are truly fascinating but for all of the wrong reasons, are you seriously going to feel excited about just getting two wins so far in the season? Against ROOKIES of all people?
Lucas Johnson: Of course I would be, you have to appreciate everything that you can get in life after all!…And also because I didn’t get a whole lot of wins the last few seasons, that didn’t help out at all either but hey, why let those kinds of losses get to you? You just gotta keep going man!
Kennedy Street: I am pretty sure last season you got over like 30 losses…OVER THIRTY!
Lucas Johnson: And what about it? Sometimes, you aren’t going to win everything in life and you just have to accept that you are going to end up facing some tough losses. You can understand me, right Kennedy? You were a former wrestler yourself so you must have suffered some losses as well.
Kennedy Street: Yes, honey, I indeed lost some matches myself but I didn’t mess them up SO BADLY and lost so much like you have done yourself! And there is still the biggest thing I can’t ever wrap my head around, Albert Hitchman, a manager who has managed so many impressive Elitists and is currently managing one of the biggest stars in EAW in Andre Walker, and then Diamond Cage, a Hall of Famer with so many championships and accomplishments to him…and for some reason, the two of them ended up working together with you in different occasions…literally, how?
Lucas Johnson: Look, it is a loooongggg story with the two of them, but I guess they saw they saw how much potential I could truly have and they wanted to show out the talent I had deep within me-
Kennedy Street: You have been here for almost a DECADE now.
Lucas Johnson: Hey, as the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race-
Kennedy Street: Oh my god, SHUT UP! I don’t want to keep hearing your excuses honey, do you want your Unique Opportunity or not?!
Lucas Johnson: Of course, that is the whole reason I came here in the first place, I don’t know why we ended up getting carried away with that conversation!
Kennedy Street: YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT- Ok, fine…fine, I am going to tell you now what is it…
(Lucas quickly puts his hands together and waits there in silence to hear what Kennedy was going to say, feeling pretty excited and confident about what he was going to hear. Usually Kennedy built this kind of thing up but she already wanted Lucas out of her office as soon as possible so she simply gave him the answer.)
Kennedy Street: You are now my chosen one.
(Lucas’s eyes widened as he heard that, they lit up with genuine hope as he took a step back and was filled with even more excitement than he had previously.)
Lucas Johnson: Wait…are you genuinely serious? Wow Kennedy, I honestly never expected for that to be my opportunity in the first place, I am genuinely honored and privileged, genuinely, THANK YOU!
Kennedy Street: Sure, honey, whatever you say, I-
Lucas Johnson: Let me tell you, you are not going to regret this at all, I am going to give it my all to bring you honor!
Kennedy Street: Right, that is sweet and all but actually-
Lucas Johnson: I am finally going to turn my whole career around with this kind of opportunity and there is no way I am going to throw it away now, not with this kind of unique opportunity in my own hands, world…you better watch out now for Lucas Johnson!
Kennedy Street: Honey, please let me finish, I-
Lucas Johnson: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Lucas then quickly rushed away out of Kennedy’s office feeling incredibly pumped up and full of energy after getting his Unique Opportunity. Kennedy simply sat there in silence, feeling dumbfounded after she probably had one of the most confusing and annoying conversations she ever had in her life. She simply turns to AJAX and lets out a frustrated sigh.)
Kennedy Street: He didn’t even let me finish at all what I was going to say, ah, whatever, serves him right for not listening, AJAX, please, can you bring me another bottle of wine? I think just talking with Lucas gave me a headache.
(AJAX crossed his arms and thought for a moment before he saw an intern trying to enter and he got an idea.)
AJAX: I got this.
Intern: Hey Miss Kennedy, I am still trying to figure out who stole my food last week, do you have any idea-
AJAX: HEY YOU, WHY ARE YOU STANDING THERE LIKE A TREE? GO GET KENNEDY A BOTTLE OF WINE, GOGOGOGOGO!
(The intern fully got scared seeing AJAX’s presence and he ran away to get Kennedy a bottle of wine. AJAX walked back to his spot and he actually accepted Kennedy’s high five as Kennedy laid back once more and continued enjoying her break as Showdown faded away from backstage.)
(As Saturday Night Showdown would fade back onto the air, the camera would transition to the backstage area, and into a locker room. Usagi Senshi was seen in her locker room, sitting down on a bench, as she looked utterly disappointed. After what took place last week, Usagi could be anything but happy. She didn’t know what to do; she got hit, albeit accidentally, by her own best friend, and because of that, they would end up losing the match to Serenity Valdez and Halsey Neel in the main event of Showdown just last Saturday night, now she’s all alone.)
Usagi Senshi: (talking to herself) sigh. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I CAN’T DO THIS—
(KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.)
(Usagi looked like she was about to pull her hair out in ultimate frustration, but she would be caught off guard, as she heard a knock on her door. She sighed, and she turned around to face towards the door, as the knob would slowly turn open… and then she would see her best friend, ARIA, walk into the locker room. Almost immediately, ARIA would look very apologetic, but Usagi didn’t want to hear any of it, as she just turned back around, she didn’t even want to look at ARIA right now. She just couldn’t, not after last week.)
ARIA: Usagi-Chan, can you please look at me? I know, after what happened last week, you may not be happy with me, and I understand that. But it was an accident, you know that. You know that I would never do that to you purposefully, especially after everything that we have gone through together before. Just please, would you look at me, and we can talk this out? Like sisters. I care about you, and you know that; you know just how much that it hurts me to even see you like this right now. Just please, Usagi. For me?
(Usagi let out a very loud sigh, as she would turn right back around; and she faced ARIA. She looked up at her, with a clear look of anger, and frustration, as ARIA sits down next to her on the bench that was behind them, before she grabs Usagi’s hand.)
ARIA: I promise you, everything that happened last week wasn’t supposed to go down that way. You know that I would never purposefully strike you, you know that I love you, Usagi-Chan. Please, just tell me if you are fine or not, and we can talk this out. I’m worried.
Usagi Senshi: I am fine.
(ARIA knew that wasn’t the case. She could just see that Usagi was anything but fine. Usagi would look down at the floor, twiddling with her fingers, as she cracked her knuckles. ARIA just took a deep breath in, before exhaling, as she continued to try talking sense into her.)
ARIA: You need to talk to me, and I’m not going to leave until you do. Because I know that something is up, and I know that you’re feeling some type of way right now. You’re frustrated, you’re angry, you’re ticked off, and man, I get it. I know. But I’m here to talk to you about way more than just that. Look at how you have been since the very beginning of the season; look at how paranoid you have seemed, and how frustrated you have looked. Is there something going on that you haven’t told me at all? Does it have to do with being separated from Ayu?
Usagi Senshi: I don’t know what you want to hear from me, ARIA. It has nothing to do about being separated from Ayu, it has nothing to do about last week. Am I pissed off? Yeah. Do I hate you? No. I still love you, ARIA. But it seems like this just has been a constant in my career. I always come so close to a big victory, and in the end, I’m screwed out of it. I am made to look like a joke, and this wasn’t any different. I just didn’t want to be looked at as weak. Trust me, ARIA; you wouldn’t understand how I am feeling.
Usagi Senshi: You weren’t the one who had to watch her girlfriend be destroyed in front of her without the chance of even being able to help her. I had to go through that. I had to go through watching as Ayu got put into the mat a bloody mess, and it was all my fault. I couldn’t do anything about it. Last week, we had miscommunication; and it is my fault that we lost the match. I was the one who took the pin. It wasn’t you, it was me, and I don’t know what I have to do anymore to even get out of this slump that I am in. I don’t know what I need to do to receive any form of success. ANY. Kennedy Street said that she drafted us to Showdown because she saw Ayu as the weak link, but I don’t know; maybe the weak link was all me. Maybe I was the one who was holding the group down. Maybe I’m the one who doesn’t deserve to be looked at as an Elitist. Maybe I should just leave, right? And at this point, it’s all that I even have left; to just leave—
ARIA: That isn’t true, Usagi.
(ARIA squeezed Usagi’s hand when she said this, getting Usagi to go quiet. Usagi took a quick look at ARIA, she was clearly teary eyed after everything that she has gone through ever since last year, now heading into the new season. ARIA knows just how much that Usagi has been through, and she knows just how strong that Usagi has been throughout it all. But ARIA needs to make sure that Usagi knows that. She needs to make sure that Usagi realizes just how strong that she is, so ARIA’s going to make sure that she tells her that.)
ARIA: Listen, I know how rough it has been for you. I remember last year, I remember how people were painting you as an abuser, and you were going through absolute hell, and it sucked. I know. It sucked so bad. But do you remember what happened? You fought through it. You fought through anything and everything that has been put in your way, and this isn’t going to be any different. You are not a weak link; none of us are. Ayu is strong in her own way, and so are you, and I am not going to let you get away with putting yourself down like this. Do you understand? You have found yourself fighting through anything and everything that has been put in your way before, and this time isn’t going to be any different, and I know that. Usagi, you know that. You’re better than this.
ARIA: Last week was an accident, and you know this. It wasn’t your fault that we lost, much like it wasn’t your fault that what happened to Ayu at Midsummer Massacre, happened. This is something that you’re going to get through, and I can promise you that. We are going to get through this together. You are going to do great on Showdown this Season; we’re going to do great on Showdown this Season. I believe in you Usagi, and I will always believe in you no matter what, no matter the troubles, the hardships, anything. I love you, Usagi.
Usagi Senshi: …
(Usagi grabs ARIA, and pulls her into a tight hug.)
Usagi Senshi: Thank you.
(It sounded like Usagi was going to cry.)
ARIA: A-anytime, Usagi! You know I care about you.
(The two continued to hug. On one side, you said ARIA; who was all smiles, thinking that she had gotten Usagi to feel better. But on the other hand… there was Usagi; who’s face went from a vague smile, to a pissed off look. Eventually, the two would break the hug, as Usagi’s facial expression switches back, and she looks ARIA right in the eyes.)
Usagi Senshi: I love you, ARIA-Chan.
ARIA: I… love you too! I got to go now, alright?
Usagi Senshi: That’s fine. I’ll talk to you later.
(ARIA had a huge smile on her face, as she would get up from the bench, and would leave the locker room, leaving Usagi all to herself… to once again soak in all of her frustrations; knowing that nothing really had been fixed, as the camera would then fade out from there to ringside.)
(‘Amerika’ by Rammstein plays as Sheridan Muller plays as she walks out to a mixed reaction holding her Cash in the Vault briefcase. She has that determined look on her face as she makes her way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA….WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS….SHE IS NS CASH IN THE VAULT….. “THE FLAMESTRESS”….SHHERRRIDDAAANNNN MUUULLLERRRRRR!!!!
Deadprez: And here comes a woman on a warpath. She went straight up to Adam and wanted to be in on WarGames and you just have to admire that fighting spirit and tonight looks to make a statement showing she’s one of the main players in that match if we didn’t know that already.
(Kamikaze – RedHook plays as the crowd immediately rains down boos on Daryl Kinkade as he steps out onto the stage. He smiles at the negative reaction playing into it and posing while walking down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…..FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND…. WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS…HE IS “THE KINK OF ELITE”…..DAAARRYYLLLL KIIINNKKADDDEEEEE!!!!
Eve: Just like Sheridan, he wants to make a statement on his road to Territorial Invasion. Not only is he on a mission to get another shot at the title, but now has more fuel to the fire as he will be leading the pack at Territorial Invasion in Brand Warfare and looks to show he was the right choice to make the captain here tonight against a competition like Sheridan.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: And this match between Daryl and Sheridan is underway as they both circle the ring just staring at the other. This should be one hell of a match between two if the best this roster has to offer as they both now step towards each other in the center of the ring holding their right hands up looking for a little test of strength to start the match. They lock hands for a brief moment but quickly back up and circle the ring just waiting on the other to make the first move. After several moments, the two finally lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up! It seems to be a struggle for a moment or two before Sheridan manages to gain control over him and get him in a side headlock before flipping him forward on his back, but then Daryl uses his legs to clip the head causing her to let go as they race back up to their feet and Sheridan charges at him with a full head of steam – BUT DARYL COUNTERS WITH A FLAPJACK AS SHERIDAN HITS THE TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST!!
Eve: Daryl looks to take advantage here as he runs off the ropes full speed and drives both of the knees into the back of Sheridan before dropping her with a jumping neckbreaker out of the corner. Daryl looks to be proud of his work in the early goings as he poses to the crowd briefly before turning his attention back to Sheridan picking her up by the head, BUT SHERIDAN DELIVERS A FEW SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE BEFORE SHE SLAPS HIS HANDS AWAY AND DELIVERS A STIFF FOREARM THAT DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEE WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT DARYL A BIT OFF GUARD! Sheridan then repeatedly drives her elbow straight into his face like she’s got some vendetta against him. Sheridan grabs him by the head and repeatedly rams her knee into the face of Daryl before running off the ropes and hits a shining wizard to the back of the head Sheridan feels momentum on her side as she begs for Daryl to stand up measuring him up early. Daryl is back up and turns around to Sheridan who picks him up in a fireman’s carry….BUT DARYL SLIPS OUT FROM BEHIND AND RUNS RAMMING HER INTO THE CORNER BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE ROLL-UP….
Gavin Kirkland: Sheridan though holds on to the turnbuckle and Daryl falls backwards and rolls back up to his feet and charges at her in the corner….but Sheridan stops him in his tracks with a kick to the midsection as he stumbles back a few feet…AND THEN SHERIDAN HOPS OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BEFORE FALLING DOWN ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCHUP!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: Daryl gets the shoulder up and Sheridsn wastes no time in going back on the attack attack here as she grabs his head and delivers several right hands to the face as Daryl tries his best to cover up but isn’t having much luck in trying to do so! A few moments later Sheridan is forced to back up by the referee who steps in to create some separation…AND LOOK! Daryl is trying his best to crawl away and slides out of the ring but Sheridan isn’t letting it happen as she grabs ahold of his foot! Daryl’s upper body is already out of the ring but Sheridan isn’t letting him go anywhere as Daryl tries to shake her off but it isn’t working as Sheridan is trying to drag him back to the center of the ring g but he’s holding on to the ring skirt for dear life!
Deadprez: She successfully manages to drag him back to the middle of the ring but Daryl uses his free foot to kick her right on the face as she stumbles back a few feet holding her nose. Daryl takes this window of opportunity to try and scramble out of the ring again but once again Sheridan runs and stops him near the corner….AND DARYL PULLS HER BY THE ARM BACKWARDS AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE SHOULDER FIRST!! I think Daryl may have laid out a trap there and knew what he was doing luring Sheridan over there, and now Daryl lifts her up and sits her on the top rope! What does he have in mind here? Daryl hammers away at her back with several punches before he goes up top with her and is going for a super side plex…
Eve: But Sheridan is doing what she can to fight out of this by raining down elbows on his skill before hitting several back handed elbow shots to the face and now it’s a battle for control between the two of them as they exchange blows back and forth with one another on the top….BUT OH NO!! DARYL WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE AND THE REFEREE WASN’T IN POSITION TO SEE IT! Daryl is still facing her back on the top rope and looks to be setting up for something ….AND OH MY GOD!!! DARYL LEAPS UP AND DELIVERS A POISONRANA OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SPIKING SHERIDAN’S HEAD INTO THE MAT!!! I WOULDN’T BE SHOCKED IF SHE WAS CONCUSSED FROM THAT AS DARYL TURNS HER OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: AND SHERIDAN GETS THE SHOULDER UP!! Daryl right away goes back to work as he puts her in a sleeper hold! Daryl has it locked in as tight as he can as Sheridan is trying to get back up to a vertical base. Sheridan is finally back up to her feet moments later but Daryl still has the sleep locked in and Sheridan is still trying to fight out….AND SHERIDAN RUNS AND KICKS OFF THE CORNER FALLING BACKWARDS INTO A PIN ON DARYL!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL IS FORCED TO LET GO AND KICK OUT AS THEY BOTH RACE BACK UP TO THEIR FEET AND HERE COMES DARYL, BUT SHERIDAN COUNTERS BY SENDING HIM FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A BACK BODY DROP!! Sheridan uses this time to catch her breath and shaking the cobwebs out from the avalanche poisonrana she just took moments ago before hopping up to the top turnbuckle right next to her and is measuring Daryl on the outside who stands back up on his feet and turns around – AND TAKES HIM OUT WITH A CROSSBODY!!! All the momentum now has shifted into Sheridan’s favor as she is completely fired up. Sheridan is just on another level it seems here tonight at least in the early goings.
Eve: Sheridan doesn’t waste any time as she picks Daryl up…AND SHE RUNS THROWING HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!! SHE PICKS HIM UP AND RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND THROWS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE ONCE MORE!! Sheridan is in complete control right now as she finally tosses Daryl back inside the ring and looks to strike while the iron is hot here. Daryl stumbles back up to his feet and turns around to face Sheridan and she gets him in position….SHERIDAN IS GOING FOR HER “SHERPLEX” – BUT DARYL THROWS SEVERAL BACK HANDED ELBOW SHOTS TO THE FACE OUT OF PURE DESPERATION TO SAVE HIMSELF AS SHE LETS GO AND DARYL TAKES THIS CHANCE TO RUN OFF OF THE ROPES….BUT HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT FROM SHERIDAN AS SHE GETS HIM UP AND….SHE CONNECTS WITH A PUMP HANDLE URANAGE BEFORE SHE HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Daryl gets the shoulder up at two and a half, AND SHERIDAN RIGHT AWAY TRIES TO LOCK IN “GEHENNA!!” SHERIDAN IS TRYING TO LOCK HIM IN HER KIMURA LOCK AND DARYL IS IN A PANIC ON TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT! DARYL THEN SCRAMBLES OVER TO THE ROPE AND GRASPS IT BEFORE SHERIDAN COULD DO ANY REAL DAMAGE! Daryl quickly rolls under the bottom rope after Sheridan is forced to let go of his arm and she reaches over the top rope and grabs him by the head….ABS DARYL CONNECTS WITH AN ENZIGUIRI KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD FROM THE APRON!!
Deadprez: Daryl stands on the apron for a second just knowing how big of a bullet he just dodged getting out of “Gehenna” and now looks to take control if this match back as he climbs up to the top turnbuckle right next to him and stands up top and looks down on Sheridan – AND DARYL DELIVERS A PICTURE PERFECT SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! AND THE COVER FROM DARYL NOW!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: SHERIDAN KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF! And now it’s Daryl who tries to immediately transition into a submission here as he goes to lock in “For the Kink”….BUT Sheridan is trying any way to get out of this as she holds her head down before delivering back handed elbow shots of her own which causes Daryl to stumble backwards as Sheridan crawls and pulls herself up in the corner. Daryl charges at her once more in the corner…BUT SHE SIDESTEPS AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FURST INTO THE STEEL RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! DARYL MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: Sheridan stands back up holding her ribs in some pain and pulls him out from the corner looking to take advantage of Daryl being in a vulnerable spot, and she delivers a European uppercut that drives him back into the corner….AND HERE COMES SHERIDAN WHO RUNS AND DELIVERS A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! Sheridan wastes no time in getting him back up off the mat and….SHE GRABS HIS ARM AND LOCKS HIM IN THE ROLLING CROSS ARMBAR!!! SHERIDAN PULLING AT THAT ARM AS DARYL IS SCREAMING IN PAIN, IS HE GOING TO HAVE TO TAP OUT HERE?!
Eve: SHERIDAN IS DOING SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THAT ARM AND I’M SURE DARYL KNOWS THE LONGER HE STAYS IN THIS, THE WORSE IT WILL BE FOR HIM BOTH IN THE SHORT TERM AND THE LONG TERM! He still is refusing to tap out as he begins trying to drag himself over to that bottom rope but Sheridan is for sure making him earn every inch, and he co tiniest to drag himself closer and he’s mere inches away now reaching out with his free arm but can he get there….YES HE DOES!! Daryl gets to the rope as Sheridan is forced to let go of the armbar and Daryl holds that arm in some pain as she drags him back to the middle of the ring and stomps on the arm inflicting even more damage on it!
Deadprez: AND SHERIDAN THIS TIME TRIES TO LOCK IN “GEHENNA” AGAIN, BUT DARYL IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIBS…AND UH OH HE DEADLIFTS HER OFF THE MAT….AND HE DELIVERS A BUCKLE BOMB IN THE CORNER AS HER HEAD WHIPLASHES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE….AND THEN DARYL DROPS HER WITH A SUPERKICK! Daryl buys himself some valuable time here as he tries to shake the pain out of that arm as he and Sheridan crawl to opposite ends of the ring before pulling themselves up with the ropes and turning around to face one another….A KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM DARYL! SHERIDAN RESPONDS BACK WITH A UPPERCUT TO THE JAW! BOTH OF THEN JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER, WHO’S GOING TO GET THE UPPER HAND ON THE OTHER?!
Eve: SHERIDAN TAKES A SWING AT HIS HEAD BUT HE DUCKS IT AND PICKS HER UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY – BUT BEFORE WE COULD KNOW WHAT HE HAD IN MIND SHERIDAN SLIDES OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND PUSHES HIM FROM THE BACK INTO THE ROPES…AND OH NO!!! SHERIDAN THEN GOES FOR HER “ENDLESS FANTASIES” RIPCORD LARIAT – BUT DARYL DUCKS IT BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE LEG LARIAT!! Daryl thinks of what to do next before rolling under the bottom rope and climbing up to the top rope once more. He hit it once but can he do it again?! NO HE CAN’T!! HE WENT FOR THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS AGAIN BUT THIS TIME SHE GOT THE KNEES UP AND DRIVES THEM INTO HIS MIDSECTION – AND THEN SHE TRANSITIONS INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH WOW IT CAN’T GET ANY CLOSER THAN THAT AS DARYL JUST BARELY KICKS OUT OF IT!! Sheridan and him go to abandon up at the same time….AND SHE GETS UP QUICKER AND PICKS THE ANKLE AND PUTS HIM IN AN ANKLE LOCK! Daryl is again stuck trying to find another way to survive here as Sheridan is twisting that ankle and you can just hear the cracking!
Eve: Daryl is reaching out for the ropes and he’s inches away….BUT SHERIDAN DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND THE SCREAMING OF DARYL INTENSIFIES – BUT DARYL REVERSES IT AND FLIPS FORWARD DRIVING SHERIDAN FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Daryl hops back to his feet as Sherudan turns around – AND DARYL GETS HER IN POSITION AND HITS HER WITH “HAIL TO THE VICTOR!!!” HE DRILLS HER WITH THE PUMP HANDLE PILEDRIVER AS HE FLIPS HER OVER ON HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER, WILL THIS BE ENOUGH?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: NO IT’S NOT!!! SHERIDAN STAYS ALIVE AS SHE JUST MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Daryl now is showing some signs of frustration as he pounds the mat before pulling himself up with the ropes and walks over to her picking her up and setting g up for “A Beautiful Lie” – BUT SHERIDAN SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF LIFE AS SHE SHOVES HIM BACK CREATING A BIT OF SPACE BEFORE HE WALKS RIGHT INTO A STEP UP KNEE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE THAT DROPS HIM STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT AND WE’RE BACK AT SQUARE ONE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM WITH BOTH COMPETITORS DOWN! Man what a battle this has been so far.
Eve: Both of them slowly begin to stir at the same time and they stare at one another before Daryl throws a right hand….BUT SHERIDAN BLOCKS IT AND UH OH, SHERIDAN JUMPS UP AND LOCKS IN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE!! SHERIDAN APPLIES ANOTHER SUBMISSION AND DARYL IS LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT ONCE AGAIN! Daryl looks like he might be fading out here…..WAIT!!!! DARYL HAS HER SHOULDERS DOWN ON THE MAT!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: OH MY GOD THAT WAS CLOSE!! Sheridan had to let go of the triangle choke to kick out and she almost got caught there. She quickly gets back up and runs to drive her knee into the side of Daryl’s skull at full speed ….BUT DARYL SIDESTEPS IT AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK…AND OH NO!!! NOW IT’S DARYL WHO TAKES CONTROL AS HE NOW SETS HER UP GRABBING THE ARM AND BRIDGES INTO THE “CATCH 22!!!!” THE BRIDGING FUJIWARA ARMBAR IS LOCKED IN AND NOW IT’S SHERIDAN’S TURN TO SEE JUST HOW MUCH SHE HAS LEFT IN THE TANK IN ORDER TO GET OUT IF THIS PREDICAMENT!!!
Eve: DARYL IS WRENCHING ON THAT ARM YELLING AT SHERIDAN TO TAP OUT AS SHERIDAN IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS SHE TRIES TO USE EHAT STRENGTH SHE HAD LEFT TO DRAG HERSELF OVER TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE AND SHE IS GETTING CLOSER BUT YOU CAN SEE BY THE LOOK ON HER FACE SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE MUCH LEFT….BUT DARYL BREAKS THE HOLD KNOWING SHERIDAN WAS LIKEKY GONNA GWR THERE AND DRAGS HER BY THE FEET BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, BUT SHERIDAN USES HER FEET TO PUSH HIM OFF I TO THE CORNER BUYING HER ENOUGH TO TO GET TO A KNEE AND HERE COMES DARYL LOOKING TO DRIVE THE KNEE INTO THE SKULL –
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE SIDESTEPS THIS TIME SENDING HIM CHEST FIRST INTO THE CORNER BEFORE HE TURNS AROUND AND SHE GOES FOR THE INSIDE CRADLE!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: BUT HE REVERSES THE PIN INTO ONE OF HIS OWN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: NO!! SHERIDAN BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT AS THEY BOTH STAND UP AND RUN AT ONE ANOTHER AGAIN…AND DARYL GOES FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK, BUT SHERIDAN FUCKS UNDER IT AND UH OH – SHE DRILLS HIM WITH A SECOND PUMPHANDLE URANAGE….BUT DARYL SOMEHOW REVERSED IT IN MID AIR INTO AN ARM DRAG….AND THEN BOTH OF THEM RUN INTO A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ON ONE ANOTHER AND BOTH ARE DOWN YET AGAIN!!
Eve: Both begin to air almost at the same time and turn around to face the other, AND THEN DARYL SWINGS AT HER HEAD BUT SHE CATCHES THE ARM AND LOCKS HIM INTO “GEHENNA!!!!” THE KIMURA LOCK IS LOCKED IN AS DARYL IS TRYING NOT TO FALL TO HIS KNEES – AND HE QUICKLY RAMS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER OUT OF DESPERATION! BUT THEN SHERIDAN SWITCHES PLACES WITH HIM PUTTING HIM IN THE CORNER AND BEGINS DELIVERING JABS AND BODY SHOTS TO THE UPPER AND LOWER BODY BEFORE THE REFEREE BACKS HER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK! DARYL JUST RIPPED OFF THAT TURNBUCKLE PAD BEHIND HIM AND BOTH SHERIDAN AND THE REFEREE ARE UNAWARE OF IT! SHERIDAN RUNS AT HIM IN THE CORNER BUT THEN DARYL COUNTERS WITH A FLAPJACK AS SHERIDAN HITS THE EXPOSED STEEL FACE FIRST….AND THEN DARYL ROLLS HER UP FROM BEHIND!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: OH NO LOOK, HE’S HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Kamikaze – RedHook plays as Daryl quickly rolls out of the ring and is celebrating all the way up the ramp with a huge smile on his face soaking in all those boos he’s getting from how he won the match.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….DARRYYLLLL KIINNKKAADDEEEEE!!!!!
Eve: Not only did he use the exposed turnbuckle, he also used the ropes for leverage winning in quite literally the cheapest way possible and he’s on the ramp celebrating as if he just beat her straight up. It was almost a carbon copy with how he beat Rex at Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: I know you and likely everyone else don’t like it, but it says in the record book that he won and that’s all that matters. I’m almost positive Sheridan is going to bounce back from this on her journey to that world title. Shame a great match ended that way but congratulations to Daryl for finding a way to win in the end.
(The final shot is of Daryl celebrating at the top of the ramp as Sheridan is checking her five for blood and pissed off pounding the mat in frustration on how that match just finished.)
(The scene pans to a beautiful zen garden in Kyoto, Japan. A beautiful scenery with a traditional rock garden, an abstract pattern of sand and trees without any flowers in sight, but autumn foliage. We pan to the small little house with a wooden patio, where Hikari Kanno of IDOL-GUN is seen meditating in a lotus position, trying to find her moment or two of zen before her partner-in-crime, Miku Sakai would join her.)
???: WHAT’S UP, MOTHERFUCKERS????
(Hikari Kanno’s moment of zen is broken — along with a couple of other people— as Miku Sakai, the other half of IDOL-GUN walks into the patio where Hikari was meditating. Miku made the grand entrance by giving double middle fingers to everyone around her. Miku dons a huge smile on her face as she has a cute kawaii shopping bag in her possession. She sees a couple of people meditating behind her, but pays no attention to her. She pulls a pillow from underneath the bottom of an old lady before sitting on it herself, sitting next to Hikari.)
Miku Sakai: You really decided to come to this shit-hole?
Hikari Kanno: It’s not a “shit-hole.” It’s a beautiful zen garden. It’s exactly what I needed after everything that’s transpired within the last two weeks. I mean, it’s a lot to take in. From our reunion to our confrontation with Jaded Grandmas to everything else in between, I needed a moment to relax and process everything.
Miku Sakai: Oh yeah, our reunion. Our anticipated reunion. Two years in the making.
Hikari Kanno: The emotion of it all. Like, I always felt that something was missing and it was all of this. You, Miku, it was you. You were missing from my life. When we faced off for the Hardcore Championship, I cried that same night. I cried several nights after that match as I replayed the moments of you spitting at my face. I thought I had lost you at that moment. As we tore each other to shreds, I kept on holding onto the hope that we would find a way to rekindle the flame that we had. I’m sorry…
(Hikari Kanno begins forming tears in her eyes as they slowly trickle down her cheeks and fall to the ground. A moment is silent between IDOL-GUN. Hikari feels regret and shame. There is a part of her that doesn’t feel worthy of Miku’s forgiveness. It was Hikari that drove the knife on her back, but Miku, somehow, with more compassion than most people would believe would race to Hikari’s aid at Midsummer Massacre — almost like it was second nature to her.)
Miku Sakai: Now, you’re going to make me cry. But, like it’s water under the bridge.
Hikari Kanno: Miku, you need to understand. This whole experience has taught me not to take anything for granted. Not to take you for granted. You, IDOL-GUN, even the sim—
(Miku Sakai covers Hikari Kanno’s mouth with her hand.)
Miku Sakai: (whispers) You don’t want to set them off. I swear, their B.O. has hearing sensors — even from their mother’s basement.
Hikari Kanno: Still, my point stands. Not even a week back and it seems like we’re attracting all the teams. It won’t be long until they can’t take our names out of their mouths.
Miku Sakai: Oh god, it’s going to be so annoying when we insert our dominance. People are gonna be like: “IDOL-GUN IS SO ROODE. ” Maybe, we should be nicer this time around — for the sake of the community.
Hikari Kanno: Yeah, we should.
(Silence.)
Miku Sakai: :mjgrin:
Hikari Kanno: Biggest lies we’ve ever told. Next to when we told that simp that he smelled good when he smelled like Mountain Dew and stale Doritos.
Miku Sakai: These past two weeks have been crazy. It sucks ass that I wasn’t able to capture the Universal Women’s Championship from Kassidy Heart.
Hikari Kanno: Yeah, but people have been talking NON-STOP about your performance. Some of our most-known simps have been working overtime to hype you up. The other ones have been waiting for us to relaunch our OnlyFans and to do the whole ‘dog collar’ photoshoot with you. Someone commented that on X, and it got 109 likes, so I think they could sell well.
Miku Sakai: Oh god, I just remembered how annoying they could be. But, maybe, we can inflate the price for those specific photos —
???: OMG, IT’S IDOL-GUN!!! MIKU, HIKARI, IS THAT YOU?
IDOL-GUN: :lupe:
(A group of simps reveal themselves decked in green leaves and bushes, so that they were able to blend in with the background. All of them are completely starstruck, a few of them are in tears of seeing the two of them reunited. They began to shoot statements and questions at the duo all at once.)
Simp #1: OMG, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. THE TAG TEAM DIVISION HAS BEEN SO BORING WITHOUT THE TWO OF YOU!
Simp #2: SAVE US, IDOL-GUN! POTARA ARE BEING SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS!
Simp #3: WE NEED YOU TO TAKE OVER TAG TEAM WRESTLING AGAIN! WE NEED YOU AS CHAMPIONS!
Simp #4: CAN I SMELL YOUR HAIR? ARE YOU STILL USING THE SAME HAIR ROUTINE?
Hikari Kanno: YES.
Miku Sakai: Hey, simps! Look at this!
(Miku Sakai spits what is possibly the nastiest loogie in the whole world and spits it as far away as she possibly can.)
Miku Sakai: Fetch! Go get it!
(All the simps go racing after to see if they can preserve the loogie. All of them trying to push the other out of the way, leaving IDOL-GUN alone again.)
Hikari Kanno: That worked. But yeah, it sucked that you didn’t win the Universal Women’s Championship, but there’s going to be a day where we’re the Universal Women’s Championship. That’s not important for the time being. What is important is that we’re both back on the same page. This time around, it seems like there’s some outside forces that are coming together to try and control Showdown, but enough is enough.
Miku Sakai: I can’t believe that those bitches actually brought us together. Who would have ever imagined that? I thought that if we were to unite, we would be old, ugly and at a convention. Although, it opened the window of opportunity for IDOL-GUN once more.
Hikari Kanno: We know that singles and tag gold is imminent. I mean, both divisions need IDOL-GUN on top as champions. We’re going to do whatever we can to get to them when the time comes. We’ll go through any one, especially The Devolution if needed to be. As of last week, Serenity Valdez and Halsey Neel joined Jon Kelton and Pandora Paisley. I was hoping that these bitches were smart enough not to join a stable that just dropped Amir Yusuf like yesterday’s leftovers. That was a huge mistake there, but the numbers don’t matter to us.
Miku Sakai: They have a group. We have an entire ARMY. An entire army of loyal simps who will do anything to defend their queens at no cost. This is the most motivated that they have been in TWO years. I would have expected for some to gain muscles and a six pack that’s not from a soda can, but we can’t pick and choose our stans. With the simps lurking now, who’s to say that anyone is safe. They thought that they should be worrying about us, but simps? Yes, they’re fat as fuck and lazy, but with the right motivation, they will fight for us like those terrorists during the Capitol on January 6th.
Hikari Kanno: :roman: We’re not trying to start an insurrection, Miku. EAW already had that with Limmy Monaghan, Jake Smith and Donovan Duke.
Miku Sakai: We don’t discourage property damage, but when it comes to The Devolution, Jaded Hearts, POTARA or whoever stands in our way, these hands are E for everyone, bitches. Next week, everything begins to favor on the side of IDOL-GUN —
???: OMG, I FOUND THE LOOGIE!
???: NO! THAT’S MINE!
(A bunch of chaotic screeching, tackling and very awkward fighting begins to occur in the front of IDOL-GUN. Stuff begins to break and shatter in the process as IDOL-GUN looks at the damage their presence caused.)
Hikari Kanno: TGI Fridays?
Miku Sakai: Yeah, that sounds great. Let’s go.
(IDOL-GUN begins to bolt out of the area and away from all the craziness of the simps.)
(Scene fades back to the arena.)
(‘5 Milli’ by Icewear Vezzo begins to play through the speakers as the crowd gives a standing ovation for Chef Viz, who walks out from the back, feeling pumped up for his match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL—
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN…WEIGHING IN 270 POUNDS… HE IS CHEF VIZ!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Well, last week on Showdown, we saw Chef Viz, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Showdown General Manager, ‘White Angel,’ Kennedy Street having a little meeting about the result of Chef Viz’ match at Midsummer Massacre. While the match result could not be changed, Kennedy did have other alternatives with Answers World Championship implications?
Eve: Now, to be a fly in the room when that discussion was happening would have been amazing, but if it’s what I think it is, then, I can see this being very interesting for both Viz and Angelo.
Deadprez: Honestly, I’m looking forward to how all of this begins to pan out. But right now, Chef Viz has to deal with another champion — a National Elite Champion who may have a couple of friends at ringside tonight!
(‘Paint It Black’ by The Rolling Stones begins to replace ‘5 Milli’ as the crowd reacts in a negative reception as National Elite Champion, Jon Kelton, being followed by the rest of The NEW Devolution — Pandora Paisley, Halsey Neel and the Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…BEING ACCOMPANIED BY THE DEVOLUTION…REPRESENTING THE DEVOLUTION…FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN 207 POUNDS… HE IS THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… ‘THE DEVIL OF THE DEVOLUTION’…JON KELTON!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton is living my dream with being surrounded by a bunch of beautiful talented women. Not only that, but he’s the National Elite Champion, who successfully retained his title against ARIA at Midsummer Massacre. During that event, PJ Hendrx returned to attack him before the rest of The Devolution got involved. Speaking of PJ…
(The camera pans to PJ Hendrx with a headset sitting at the other end of the announce table.)
Eve: I’m glad that you could be here for us for this match, PJ. We saw you return at Midsummer Massacre. Last week, you had your first match of Season 17 and you looked fantastic. How do you feel?
PJ Hendrx: I never felt better, Eve. Getting my hands on Jon Kelton and the rest of The Devolution is what motivated me to make sure that I got better. I said it once, I’ll say it again, I will go through EACH and EVERY member of The Devolution if it means getting my hands on Jon Kelton and that National Elite Championship!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND, CHEF VIZ GOES RIGHT AFTER JON KELTON WITH A ‘KISS TO THE HEAD!’ THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Eve: BUT, JON KELTON IMMEDIATELY SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! THE DEVOLUTION IS RUSHING TO JON’S SIDE! WE’RE SEEING A BIT OF THE UNISON THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING TONIGHT SO FAR FROM THESE FOUR ELITISTS! THEY ARE TO NOT BE TRUSTED AT ALL!
(Pandora Paisley is shown whispering something in the ear of Jon Kelton, whose smirk is growing as Chef Viz is looking on, egging for Jon to get back into the ring.)
PJ Hendrx: Bro don’t want any smoke from Viz? How is he the National Elite Champion? Couldn’t be me. I’m ALWAYS ready for the smoke.
Deadprez: Would it be right to call Pandora Paisley the ‘mastermind’ in The Devolution? I mean, this is the same woman who was taught by The Street Family, a woman who probably knows Kennedy Street, the Showdown General Manager, more than anyone else on this brand. Just imagine the knowledge that she must possess in the business. Now, Jon Kelton takes his sweet time climbing up the steel steps and heading back into the ring. Jon is telling the referee to back up Chef Viz, so that he can get into the ring without having to worry about Chef Viz trying to deliver a cheap shot at him! Jon begins to step through the ropes and inside the ring —
Gavin Kirkland: Chef Viz is jogging in place as he waits for Jon Kelton. He begins to step into the middle of the ring, as he pops his pecs, more than ready to wrestle. Jon is slowly making his way to the middle of the ring as he finds himself in a boxing stance. He is slowly looking to lock up with the former World Heavyweight Champion as he locks up! BUT, CHEF VIZ MANAGES TO SHOVE JON AWAY FROM HIM. BUT, JON DOESN’T STAY BACK FOR LONG AS HE LOOKS TO GO FOR THE ‘ONE HIT WONDER’ — HIS RUNNING SUPERKICK, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO CATCH JON! NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE CAUTIOUS LOOK ON THE FACE OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! BUT, LOOK ON THE APRON! PANDORA PAISLEY! MY LITTLE HELLCAT!
Chef Viz:
Eve: Chef Viz goes right after Pandora Paisley, but Pandora jumps off the apron just in time! Who knows what Viz was going to do? With that, Jon. Kelton clubs the back of Viz’ head as he knocks him forward into the ropes! Jon begins to stomp on Viz’ spine as the former World Champion collapses into his knees! HE FINDS HIS NECK BEING DRAPED ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AS JON BEGINS TO APPLY A ROPE CHOKE ON CHEF VIZ! JON IS DELIVERING HIS OWN SET OF TRASH TALK TO VIZ AS HE SLOWLY APPLIES PRESSURE ONTO THE CHOKE! IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE MAY NEED TO INSERT HIMSELF IN THIS SITUATION NOW!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, JON!
Deadprez: JON KELTON BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY AWAY FROM CHEF VIZ AS HE BEGINS TO BICKER WITH THE REFEREE, BUT LOOK AT THE DEVOLUTION! HALSEY NEEL IS ON THE APRON AS SHE CHARGES AT VIZ! SHE CONNECTS WITH A PUMP KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE AS THAT KNOCKS HIM OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AND BACK INSIDE THE RING! IT’S THESE DIRTY TRICKS FROM THESE FOUR THAT CHEF VIZ IS REALLY GOING TO NEED TO BE ON A LOOK OUT FOR! Jon walks over to get Viz up as he lifts up the former World Champion and runs to the nearest corner! Jon begins to connect with a series of shoulder thrusts to the gut of Viz! But, look at this! Viz looks to change his luck around by delivering a punch to the National Elite Champion, trying to get himself out of the corner! Jon begins to back himself away as Viz continues to throw some punches in his direction! Viz pushes Jon towards the vertical set of ropes and connects with an Irish whip! Viz knocks him down with a shoulder tackle!
Gavin Kirkland: Chef Viz gets Jon Kelton by his head! He begins to pick up ‘The Devil of The Devolution’ in a military press! Look at that strength from Chef Viz! The crowd seems to be enjoying what he is cooking up! He throws Jon right behind him! The champion lands right on his ribs before picking himself up to his knees! He is walking around all casually as he is looking at the three women at ringside before blowing a kiss to them and it seems like they’re not amused by that whatsoever! He probably just has the rizz that I do, but it’s something that I could help him with.
PJ Hendrx: You look like a rejected James Bond, Gavin. What rizz does someone like you have?
Gavin Kirkland: I wasn’t completely rejected. I just wasn’t what they were looking for at the time.
PJ Hendrx:
Eve: Chef Viz grabs Jon Kelton in a front headlock before hoisting him up and taking him back with a fisherman’s suplex! But, Viz rolls himself back to his feet, getting Jon into position once more and connecting with a second fisherman’s suplex! Viz rolls himself back to his feet before hoisting Jon up in the air, but he holds it there for a second and looks at that! He is doing squats with Jon being held up in the air! He seems to be having fun with the whole thing as Viz connects with a third consecutive fisherman’s suplex! Viz goes for the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW—
Deadprez: Jon Kelton with a kick out! Chef Viz gets Jon up and connects with an Irish whip before following that up with an axe clothesline as that sends the National Elite Champion down! You can see Jon trying to get himself back to his feet, but Viz connects with a calf kick to the gut of Jon! Jon begins to bend forward in response to that, clutching his stomach! Chef Viz rebounds off the ropes and connects with a pump kick of his own to the skull of Jon as he’s glaring at Halsey Neel! Halsey had done the same thing to him a bit earlier in the match. Viz is looking back at Jon, who is starting to find his way back to his feet! Viz begins to get Jon in a front headlock position before connecting with a series of knees! Viz goes back and rebounds himself off the ropes and connects with a knee strike to the side of the National Elite Champion’s head! This only causes Jon to stagger back, but Viz manages to get Viz and connect with a spinning neck breaker!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTT—
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton with another kick out! Chef Viz begins to apply a side headlock to Jon! Jon is trying to get himself into a vertical base, but Viz is wrenching in the headlock, trying to apply as much pressure as he possibly can. Slowly, Viz begins to work his way to a kneeling position as Jon is trying to fight his way out of the hold! It seems like he’s beginning to push Chef Viz to the side! Viz is looking to lift Jon up in the air, but Jon gets back to the ground! But, Viz attempts to lift him up again as Jon finds a way to get his feet in the ground! Jon manages to get himself out of the headlock as he manages to get Viz in a waist lock! But, Viz begins to gyrate his hips around as that causes Jon to release the waist lock! With that, Viz manages to get Jon by the back of his neck and connects with a snapmare! He runs the ropes in front of Jon before following that up with a dropkick as that sends the champion back!
Eve: Chef Viz gets Jon Kelton by his very own waist and takes him back with a German suplex! He throws the National Elite Champion back as Jon staggers back into one of the corners! But, Viz goes charging after him with a running uppercut as he causes Jon to collapse to the ground! But, look at Viz! He begins to take a couple of steps back before charging at ‘The Devil of The Devolution’ and with a body splash as that causes for Jon to go down once more, but Viz picks up the champion from his chin as he begins to connect with a huge shoulder thrusts before sitting up Jon at the top turnbuckle! Viz manages to get himself up on the turnbuckle! But, Jon is showing some fighting spirit back as he begins to punch the forehead of the former World Champion, hoping to knock him off the turnbuckle! But, Viz is throwing punches back at Jon as he gets knocked back! He’s going to fall off —
Deadprez: NO! THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DEVOLUTION MANAGE TO CATCH JON KELTON! IF THEY WEREN’T THERE, JON WOULD HAVE FALLEN TO RINGSIDE AND THAT’S LIKE ALMOST TWENTY FEET?
PJ Hendrx: It’s really twenty-feet? Imagine, if Jon did fall off that turnbuckle and had nothing to catch him? He would have had a nasty tumble to ringside! Maybe, landed on the back of his head! Nah, but we Elitists, we take all sorts of bumps, but it’s nice to have back up to help catch you when you fall, but he can’t rely on them when we inevitably face each other in the ring at some point.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton is being caught by the rest of the members of The Devolution and look at the smug look on Jon’s face! He’s more than showing off how the rest of The Devolution managed to catch him before he fell! BUT, LOOK AT CHEF VIZ! HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH ANGLE TOPE CON HILO TO THE OUTSIDE AS HE LANDS ON ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE DEVOLUTION! MY POOR SWEET PANDORA! ARE YOU OKAY, BABY?
Eve: The crowd is completely on their feet as Chef Viz is cooking! He manages to get Jon Kelton away from the rest of The Devolution! He grabs Jon by the back of his neck before spinning him around and throwing him under the bottom rope and inside the ring! But, look at this! Pandora Paisley grabs Chef Viz by one of his ankles and Serenity grabs onto the other ankle as they hold down the former World Champion! BUT, VIZ MANAGES TO BREAK OUT OF THE HOLD! HE STOMPS ON SERENITY’S HAND! AND THEN, HE STOMPS ON PANDORA’S HAND! HE SEES HALSEY NEEL RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AS HE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SNAPMARE, BUT SHE GET FLIPPED TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE WHATEVER DISTRACTION THAT THE DEVOLUTION ATTEMPTED WORKED AS JON MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE AND DROPKICK VIZ BACK TO OUR TABLE!
Deadprez: Jon Kelton begins to unload on Chef Viz with punches to the spine! Jon is doing what he can to take the bigger man down! Jon begins to stomp on the gut of Viz, making sure that he isn’t able to fight back! JON MANAGES TO PICK UP VIZ BY HIS CHIN AS HE DELIVERS A BIT OF TRASH TALKING! HE GRABS VIZ BY HIS WAIST BEFORE BATTERY RAMMING HIM TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON AND THEN, TO THE BARRICADE! THEN, TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON ONCE MORE AND THEN, TO THE BARRICADE! Jon begins to deliver more punches to the spine of the former World Champion! Jon finds himself on the apron before flying off of it and connects with a flying knee as he manages to take down Viz!
PJ Hendrx: If Dr. Angelo D’Angelo were here, he would probably have a stroke. His boy is getting son’d by Jon Kelton.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon Kelton sees that Chef Viz has his back against the apron as he’s sat down, trying to catch his breath! Jon is looking at you, PJ. He’s telling you “watch this” before nailing Viz with a huge meteora as you could hear the sound of those knees being driven to the face of the former World Champion! He manages to get Viz by the nape of his neck before sending him back inside the ring! But, Jon is looking to make his way up on the turnbuckle! He has his sights on Chef Viz before jumping off and connecting with a double foot stomp! Jon is quick with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TT—
Eve: Chef Viz with a kick out! Jon Kelton is trying to remain focused! He knows that he cannot allow for his emotions to get the best of him! He knows that he is going to need to do everything in his power to end this match! The longer this match goes, the more dangerous Chef Viz might be! Jon begins to flip himself over the top rope and on the apron! He has his sights on the former World Champion before leaping off the apron, over the top rope and connecting with his jumping spear — ‘Final Atonement!’ But, Viz manages to get Jon by surprise by placing the National Elite Champion on his shoulders! We’ve seen him do this to Cy Henderson at Midsummer Massacre! ‘Air Bae!’ ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN — PANDORA PAISLEY IS ON THE APRON, BUT JON IS STILL ON CHEF VIZ’ SHOULDERS! VIZ SPINS AROUND, USING JON TO KNOCK PANDORA OFF THE APRON! IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY IS LOOKING TO DO THE SAME THING, BUT VIZ USES JON TO KNOCK SERENITY OFF THE APRON! HALSEY NEEL IS ON THE APRON AS WELL! VIZ SPINS HIMSELF AROUND —
Deadprez: BUT, HALSEY NEEL MANAGES TO DUCK, NOT TRYING TO BE A VICTIM OF THE SAME MISHAP AS SERENITY VALDEZ AND PANDORA PAISLEY! BUT, CHEF VIZ DROPS JON KELTON FROM BEHIND HIM TO NAIL AN ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ ON HALSEY AS HE SENDS HER FLYING OFF THE APRON! BUT, LOOK AT JON! HE’S BEHIND VIZ AS HE MANAGES TO PUSH VIZ INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AND HE’S ROLLING UP THE HALL OF FAMER! JON HAS THE TIGHTS! ‘THE DEVIL OF THE DEVOLUTION’ IS LOOKING TO STEAL THIS MATCH AGAINST THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHH—
Gavin Kirkland: CHEF VIZ WITH A KICK OUT!
PJ Hendrx: Bro, really thought he had Viz there. I can’t right now.
Eve: Jon Kelton thought that he had Chef Viz there! But, Jon is trying his best not to let his emotions get the best of him! Jon is slapping the back of Viz’ head, trying to force him back to his feet! It seems like he’s trying to anger the beast and that is not the wisest thing to do here! Jon shoves Viz a bit before taking him back with a ‘One Hit Wonder!’ He connects with another ‘One Hit Wonder’ before running towards the Hall of Famer and CONNECTING WITH A ‘ETHER’ — THE RUNNING GUILLOTINE IS APPLIED TO VIZ! BUT, VIZ, USING ALL THE STRENGTH IN THE WORLD MANAGES TO HOIST THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION UP, BUT JON MANAGES TO COUNTER WITH A IMPLANT DDT! VIZ GETS ROLLED TO HIS BACK AS JON MANAGES TO BACK HIMSELF TO THE CORNER! EARLIER, HE TRIED ONE VARIATION OF THE ‘FINAL ATONEMENT’ AND NOW, HE’S GOING FOR HIS USUAL VARIATION! JON IS EGGING FOR VIZ TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AS VIZ TURNS HIMSELF AROUND — ‘FINAL ATONEMENT!’
Deadprez: ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ — THE SPINNING BACK FIST TO JON KELTON! CHEF VIZ PULLS JON KELTON CLOSE TO HIM WITH A ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ BEFORE TAKING A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK AND GOING FOR *THE* ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ THAT HAS PUT AWAY DOZENS OF ELITISTS WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS! THE BULL HAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! JON KELTON IS DOWN! BUT, SERENITY VALDEZ AND HALSEY NEEL ARE QUICK TO PULL JON FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! They just stole the victory from Chef Viz! That could have been it for Viz, but Viz is slipping underneath the bottom rope as well! He is going after Jon! But, look at the other members of The Devolution! They’re making a barrier, blocking Viz’ away, making sure that their champion is protected! The three women stand in a united front, ready to defend Jon if needed too! Viz is looking at all three women! I think he believes that he can take them all in a fight!
(PJ Hendrx is looking down at Jon Kelton who is still down and trying to recover. The two Elitists exchange looks at each other. Jon is slowly trying to get himself up to his feet as PJ manages to stand up from his chair.)
PJ Hendrx: You really ain’t him, lil bro. You really need them to protect you? The big strong and scary Jon Kelton needs people to protect him —
(Jon Kelton SHOVES PJ Hendrx back into his seat.)
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) Just watch what I do because after I’m through with Viz, I’m mowing you down like I did with ARIA at Midsummer Massacre. You are not on my level. You are no threat to my championship reign. You are just like every other Elitists who want the National Elite Championship. You’re nothing special. You’re nothing to me, PJ.
( With that brief piece to PJ Hendrx, Jon Kelton turns away from PJ, looking to replace his focus on Chef Viz who is still being blocked from getting his hands on Jon by the rest of The Devolution. Viz does not want to cause a disqualification for himself, so he’s being very cautious on what to do next.)
Gavin Kirkland: Now, that was an interesting confrontation there, PJ. What are your thoughts on what just happened?
(There is no words that can described what just happened, but PJ Hendrx is fired up as he takes off his headset.)
Eve: PJ HENDRX GOES AFTER ‘THE DEVIL OF THE DEVOLUTION’ BY CLUBBING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! HE BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON JON KELTON! THEN, YOU SEE CHEF VIZ KICKING HALSEY NEEL IN THE STOMACH BEFORE THROWING AN ELBOW TO PANDORA PAISLEY! THE REFEREE IS CALLING OFF THIS MATCH!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: The referee rings the bell thanks to PJ Hendrx attacking Jon Kelton, awarding this match to Jon! But, the moment that Chef Viz saw PJ going after Jon, he knew that he could go after the other women! Chef Viz is turning his attention towards Pandora Paisley as he throws her back to the edge of the apron! Halsey Neel goes right after Viz, looking to go for a huge punch to the face! BUT, LOOK AT SERENITY FROM BEHIND — ‘CHANGE OF (INTER)COURSE’ AS SHE DELIVERS A MASSIVE LOW BLOW AS IT TAKES THE HALL OF FAMER TO HIS KNEES! THEN, THE THREE WOMEN BEGIN TO STOMP AND DELIVER PUNCHES TO CHEF VIZ!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile, you see PJ Hendrx and Jon Kelton throwing punches at each other! Jon is looking to make his way towards the timekeepers area! It seems like he’s going through the crowd! He’s looking to make sure that he doesn’t get himself in a sticky situation with PJ who looks more than fired up to fight! PJ GRABS JON BY THE BACK OF HIS TIGHTS — BUT JON SWINGS AT HIM AS PJ FALLS TO THE GROUND! IT’S THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP IN HIS POSSESSION! JON WANTED TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP AS THAT WAS ENOUGH TO TAKE PJ DOWN!
Eve: THE WOMEN OF THE DEVOLUTION ROLL CHEF VIZ BACK INSIDE THE RING! PANDORA PAISLEY IRISH WHIPS VIZ TO THE ROPES AS HALSEY NEEL CATCHES UP WITH VIZ UPON THE REBOUND AS SHE PICKS HIM FOR A POP UP POWERBOMB! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO THAT? BUT, WE SEE THE EMPRESS OF ELITE HERSELF TOPPING OFF THE COMBINATION WITH SHADES OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION WITH ‘FINAL ATONEMENT’ — A JUMPING SPEAR THAT JON HAD INTENDED TO HIT DURING THE MATCH! ‘EDGE OF ATONEMENT’ IS CONNECTED AS CHEF VIZ IS LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. PANDORA, HALSEY AND SERENITY ARE LOOKING DOWN, PROUD OF THEIR WORK!
Deadprez: BUT, LOOK AT JON KELTON AT RINGSIDE! HE TAKES DOWN PJ HENDRX WITH A ‘FINAL ATONEMENT’ OF HIS OWN! JON GRABS HIS CHAMPIONSHIP FROM THE FLOOR AND RAISES IT UP IN THE AIR, LOOKING DOWN AT A FALLEN PJ! THE DEVOLUTION STANDING TALL HERE WITH A POWERFUL MESSAGE TO THE REST OF THE LOCKER ROOM!
(As the carnage unfolds, the camera fades backstage.)
(We cut to the back and first we see Kyra Phillips, but then the camera pans to reveal the Answers World Champion, Adam Lucas. The mere sight of him brings a roar from the crowd, a roar that brings a smile to both Adam’s and Kyra’s face. They both wait for the noise to die down before Kyra lifts the mic.)
Kyra Phillips: Adam, thank you for taking the time out to speak with me.
Adam Lucas: Not a problem Kyra, always a pleasure.
Kyra Phillips: Before we get into tonight, last week you were named as the Team Captain of Showdown’s Wargames team, making you a Showdown Captain for the third year in a row. How’s that make you feel?
Adam Lucas: Honestly, I’ve got two overriding emotions now. On one hand, I’m surprised. Firstly, because let’s face it, I’ve made a pig’s ear of it the last two times I’ve been given the honor.
(Kyra smirks, Adam picking up on it.)
Adam Lucas: Yeah laugh it up Hun…
Kyra Phillips: I wasn’t laughing, it’s just…
Adam Lucas: I’m joking. I have. But on both occasions, there has been a reason for that. First time, I had Harper Lee wanting to be the Captain, which inadvertently took any chance away. Last year, it was Xander Payne deciding to do his own thing and not follow my lead. That why it is Important that this year we have a team that firstly trusts, and secondly accept that I am indeed the Captain.
Kyra Phillips: And it must have been a surprise that Kennedy picked you.
(Adam chuckles to himself.)
Adam Lucas: Yeah, you could say that. Kennedy and I have had our ‘issues’ no question about that, but she knows that I can do. Same can be said for Daryl Kinkade, who I fully endorse as the Captain of Brand Warfare… he’ll do a hell of a job. Sheridan and I, we now have a bond. The event is in Germany, which means Sheridan is going to get the heroes welcome she deserves, so we’ll have the crowd on our side. I need to make sure that whoever we choose to be our third, they have the right amount of integrity, know how and experience to see us through. Of course, it all depends on what Dynasty and Voltage come up with, but we get that right third, I know we can go all the way.
Kyra Phillips: No decision yet then?
Adam Lucas: No yet, but there are a few candidates. Daryl would have been one for sure. But tell you what, I’ll make sure you are the first to know. You can have the exclusive.
Kyra Phillips: Thank you. And what was the second overriding emotion?
Adam Lucas: A determination to succeed where I have failed before. I’m getting a sense of severe déjà vu on this one. Took me a few attempts to get my hands on the Championship belt after all. This time I need to get it right. Not just for my benefit, but for Showdown overall. We say we are the most talented roster in EAW and this is our opportunity to prove it.
Kyra Phillips: That’s fair enough. Moving on to tonight, where in the Main Event of the evening you will face Serenity Valdez in what has proven to be a highly anticipated match. Considering Devolution are going to be at ringside, how does that change the way you approach the contest?
(Adam rubs his chin, pondering it for a few seconds before answering.)
Adam Lucas: It’s difficult isn’t it? On the one hand, Serenity has been telling all week that they don’t NEED each other, and then you see what happened to Viz just moments ago when Devolution attacked him like a pack of wolves. I must understand that could be how Showdown ends tonight… with Adam Lucas staring up at the ring lights. I’m not stupid Kyra, I know exactly how this match could pan out. But like I’ve been telling Serenity all week, it only deviates from what she is looking to achieve. I know as Answers World Champion, I will always be a target, that’s a part of it all. Win or lose though Kyra, I hope that Serenity understood me when I said that she didn’t want to get me involved in a war. It wouldn’t do them any favors; I promise you that. But to answer you question, I’m going to do my best to ensure that I’m not distracted, or affected by Devolution, and focus ALL my attention on Serenity. After all, if she doesn’t need them, why are they there? I just wish she had as much faith in herself as I have in her.
Kyra Phillips: And say you do receive the same punishment as Viz took just moments ago?
(Adams eyes narrow slightly, his jovial nature now not apparent.)
Adam Lucas: Then, Devolution will have earned themselves an enemy. And believe me Kyra, I won’t be alone.
Kyra Phillips: That sounds like you are prepared for all eventualities?
Adam Lucas: I told Serenity how it had to be. It’s up to them…
(Adam is interrupted as The Viz walks by, still bearing the effects of the attack on him just minutes ago. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo is with him, and speaks as they walk past,
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Oh look, another white devil talking
(Viz stops him, and then whispers something inaudible in the Doctors ear, the Doctor stopping in his tracks as his eyes widen, before he then nods, turning back to Viz.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Cook Chef Viz, Cook.
(Adam stands there for a moment, looking at them both. And what ensues is what can only be explained as an awkward silence. Finally, Adam goes for it, and he just spits it out throwing caution to the wind.)
Adam Lucas: Honestly, I don’t know what the hell you both are talking about. I think you were insulting me, but no matter… I’m used to it. I don’t care what you think about me, and I never will. What I do care about, is that you know what Territorial Invasion all is about. Only last year, you led a team against Voltages New Eden and Showdown. Somehow you managed to find a way, and I need that know how on my team.
(The crowd starts to mumble, as people figure out what is about to happen.)
Adam Lucas: So how about it? How’s about you joining Sheridan and I at Wargames as a part of Team Showdown?
(The crowd roars, Viz hearing the reaction as Adam holds out his hand. Viz looks down at it, and ever so slowly a smile forms on his face. He slaps his hand and nods, giving Adam his answer, the only answer he wanted. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and The Viz then walk down the corridor as the Showdown fans in the arena go mental. Adam grins, and turns back to Kyra, who is also smiling.)
Adam Lucas: I think we may have found our third member…
(Adam winks at Kyra, before heading off down the corridor in the opposite direction. As the scene slowly fades to the final commercial break.)
(As the last commercial break ends, the camera pans to Gina Romano as she is ready to introduce the participants in the Main Event of Showdown.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! FROM TIJUANA, MEXICO! WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS… THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE…. REPRESENTING AND ACCOMPANIED BY DEVOLUTION! “MALEVOLENT” SERENITY VALDEZ!!!
(“Master of Puppets” by Metallica starts to play throughout the arena as Serenity Valdez slowly makes her way out to the ring, she is followed by Jon Kelton, Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley collectively known as Devolution. They all start to walk down to ringside as the crowd boos.)
Deadprez: They have literally been all over this show tonight and now they are in the Main Event. Halsey won, Jon Kelton won, now will Serenity get the dub tonight? We will find out.
Eve: They are starting to really gel as time passes and these are four young lions looking to make a name for themselves in the business.
Gavin Kirkland: I wish I was Jon Kelton right now surrounded by such women!
(Serenity gets in the ring, she walks up the ropes and looks out into the crowd as the boo her. The rest of Devolution stand on the outside as her music fades and is replaced with “Be Legendary” by Pop Evil. The crowd gets up to their feet as Adam Lucas walks out.)
Gina Romano: THE OPPONENT HAILS FROM NEW YORK CITY, NY.! WEIGHING AT 231 POUNDS…. YOUR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. “THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!!!!
(Adam makes his way toward the ring as the crowd continues to pop. He slaps a few hands and interacts with fans before sliding to the ring and looking around, seeing as it is surrounded by all of Devolution.)
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is in dangerous territory here and we have already seen, Devolution are not afraid of mixing it up! They will attack like a pack of dogs!
Eve: Adam needs to be careful because the Empress of Elite, will do anything to get a victory over the Answers World Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas is good, but he isn’t that good. Speaking of good…. How good does Pandora look tonight!
(Adam is in the corner ready as the referee checks him and then Serenity, he then calls for the bell to start the match.)
(DING!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!! DING!!!!!!)
(Adam and Serenity circle the ring before they lock up, Adam is the stronger of the two and he pushes Serenity to the corner, before releasing not even waiting for the count by the referee. Adam backs up as Serenity doesn’t look too pleased, they lock up again, this time Serenity drops to one knee for leverage, backing Adam back to the ropes….)
Deadprez: Serenity with a forearm! And another forearm! And another forearm, she wasn’t about to have a clean break, whipping Adam against the ropes, but NO! Adam switches and turns it around; Serenity bounces off and she is caught with a huge body drop! Serenity is back up and she charges in, this time Adam catches her with a hip toss and Serenity quickly slides out of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Smart move by Serenity! Take some time to collect herself and kill the momentum that Adam has gained just now. The Devolution is outside right now tending to Serenity as rightfully she should! Adan Lucas though is stopping the count! He doesn’t want the referee to stop anything as he wants to win this match fair and square! What a sport!
Eve: Serenity is going to try and milk this for all she can! Try to stifle the momentum that Adam has early in the match. Pandora circles around the ring, as does Jon and Halsey. Serenity is slowly climbing back into the ring, and she tells the referee to have Adam back off.
Serenity: (Off Mic) BACK OFF!
(Adam just smiles as the referee tries to get this match restarted again and ….)
Eve: Serenity with a poke to the eye of Adam! He is caught off-guard. Serenity Irish whips him into he turnbuckle, rushing in with a huge clothesline that connects! She follows it up with a Bulldog and catches him! A quick cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam kicks out! Serenity quickly locks in a side headlock, but Adam isn’t having any of it, he gets back to his knees and Serenity has it singed in, but Adam is right back up, pushing Serenity off and she bounces off the ropes, shoulder block and Serenity goes down!
(Serenity shocked by the sudden impact slides to the ropes yelling at the referee to have him back off. But the referee tells her to get back in the fracas and she doesn’t take too kindly to.)
Eve: Serenity is stalling, plain and simple! She has been caught by Adam Lucas who is starting to lose his patience! She slowly gets back up and circles around the ring with Adam, they are about to tie up, but she thinks better of it, and gets to the ropes.
(Adam turns to the ref to complain ad Serenity grabs him by the face….)
Deadprez: And Adam Lucas had enough! He grabs Serenity and pulls her from the ropes and whips her into the turnbuckle! She hits hard and stumbles out…. CLOTHESLINE by Adam Lucas and Serenity goes down! Pandora on the apron and he goes to hit her, but she drops down fast! Serenity back up and Adam clotheslines her again!
Eve: He caught Serenity and she almost flipped over! Serenity gets back up wobbly to her feet, and he scoops he4r up for a body slam! She quickly scurries to the corner and NO! Adam grabs her by the ankles, and he starts dragging her out, but Serenity holds on to the ropes…. He is pulling and pulling….
(SLAM!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?! Adam Lucas just pulled Serenity! She lost her grip and landed hard on the mat! Serenity is being mistreated here! This isn’t right! And Halsey Neel now tries to grab Adam, but he kicks at the ropes, and she backs up! Adam turns back around and grabs Serenity….
Eve: NO, SHE SPINS AROUND AND HITS THE FLOWERPOT DDT! ADAM IS DOWN AND THAT DISTRACTION REALLY DID JUST COST ADAM LUCAS AND THE FANS ARE SHOCKED! Serenity now starts to kick Adam while he is down! She places her foot on his neck and starts to press but Adam is trying to fight it!
Referee: 1….2….3…..4….
(Serenity breaks the count. She then driver her boot again into the neck of Adam trying to choke him out some more.)
Referee: 1….2….3…..4….
(Serenity again let’s go just as the referee was to count five. She then drops to her knees and starts punching Adam Lucas.)
Deadprez: Serenity has finally lost it and she is trying to control this match by using some really cheap tactics! Serenity is punching Adam Lucas ferociously as the referee is finally starting to get in, but she stops right before anything can happen to her!
Gavin Kirkland: She is playing this really smart! Serenity is doing anything and everything to keep Adam Lucas off his feet! She runs against the ropes, drops a knee to Adam right on his head and that looked like it hurt! She is now driving the knee into his chest and throat, not relenting one bit!
Referee: 1….2….3…..4….
Eve: Serenity breaks the count again! She gets up and grabs Adam, sitting him up and driving her knee into his back. The referee warns her as she does it again repeatedly working on his middle back before stopping, then driving the knee into his midback, grabbing the arms, and stretching them as Adam is shaking his head! This is a very smart move by Serenity!
Deadprez: While she is taking shortcuts, Serenity is also showing her wrestling ability and while there is a mutual respect between the two, at the same time, this is not the same Serenity that we saw back at Territorial Invasion last year either! She has shown that with Devolution, she is absolutely relentless and will do whatever it takes in order to get that win!
(Serenity continues to hold the grip and drive her knee into Adam’s back. He winces in pain, shaking no the entire time as she then let’s go of his arms, locks in the chin instead pressing hard back but the fans starts to cheer as Adam starts to get his wind…)
Eve: Adam is showing some life, he is starts to get back up as he has been in this match for four minutes already and it has not stopped, but Serenity doing her best to keep Adam down! She…. Wait…. Adam showing his strength! He is pushing out of this! Serenity is panicking, she is trying to hold on as Adam is getting back to his feet…..
Gavin Kirkland: … Elbow to the sternum of Serenity! Another elbow and another elbow! Serenity let’s go of the lock and Adam turns around, NO! Serenity goes for a clothesline, Adam ducks, she turns and ADAM WITH A HAYMAKER ALMOST KNOCKING SERENITY ON HER BEUATIFUL ASS! SHE JUST STUMBLED RIGHT INTO… A SPINEBUSTER! SERENITY HAS BEEN LAID OUT AND ADAM LUCAS PICKS HER UP, WASTING NO TIME…. HONOR BOMB! THE HIPTOSS CRADLE PILEDRIVER JUST KNOCKED SERENITY COLD! NOOOOOOOO!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IS SHE DOING OUT HERE!? SHERIDAN MULLER IS COMING DOWN AND WHY!? SHE LOST EARLIER TO DARYL KINKADE! SHE NEEDS TO JUST STOP!
Eve: MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE HER PARTNER AT THE WARGAMES IS OUT GETTING QUADRUPLE TEAMED BY THE DEVOLUTION! SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO COME OUT HERE, DAMN IT!
(Sheridan makes her way over when Pandora is about to go after her but Jon grabs her by the arm and pulls her back. The fans roar as Halsey Neel slowly steps up to Sheridan as the fans have been waiting to see these two women lock it down.)
Deadprez: SHE IS NOT BACKING DOWN! BUT LOOK, SHERIDAN IS HELPING ADAM BACK UP AS HE ROLLS INTO THE RING AND….. EL ULTIMO BAILE! THE RECOIL PLANTED ADAM LUCAS AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
