Showdown 8/24/24

 (EAW intro plays)  

(Showdown opens up with a recap of Showdown last week. Charlie Marr comes out with Cody Maverick to solidify his status as the captain before showing someone else who will be in the Showdown team and it is Jon Kelton himself. Harper Lee defeats Brianna Hill. Auburn has an interview with Kyra where she has had enough of Aria and Miku and challenges one of them next week. Mikaela has an interview with Elly Elle where she does not feel bad about what happened with her opponent last week and that she deserves some respect to her name. Elly Elle defeats Nikki Kimura. The Jaded Hearts come out to gloat a bit and say that they are putting their titles on the line at Territorial Invasion. Charlie Marr and Cody Maverick versus SOSA Henderson and Donovan Duke ends in a no contest as Charlie decides there he wants SOSA and Donovan to be the last two people for the Brand Warfare team. Aria and Miku figure out what to do for Territorial Invasion with Miku accepting Auburn’s challenge for next week. Jon Kelton defeats Raeangel Guzmán. Harper, Ryan and Ruler all come out to bicker with each other and proclaim to be the next Answers World Champion, with TLA coming out for his match and telling all of them to get prepared for the match because everyone can get it. And in the main event, TLA defeats Roberto de la Rosa after a chaotic sequence of events, and all the competitors in the fatal four way match break out into a brawl. Veena Adams and Milli Banks come out for the last segment of the night as Veena announces the last member for the Wargames match, which turns out to be none other than Bronson Daniels himself, the three of them send their messages for the rest of the competitors and then Showdown fades away on that scene.)

(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 Sparks Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)

Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!

Deadprez: WE GOT A VERY EXCITING SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT! We have Auburn Ware going up against Miku Sakai, Elly Elle fighting off against Raeangel Guzmán and finally, we have one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Kassidy Heart fighting Aria Lestrade!

Eve: Can they co-exist?! Ruler and Ryan Wilson face off against the De La Rosa brothers, and in the main event we have the other half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Sienna Jade go up against the National Elite Champion Veena Adams!

Gavin Kirkland: DON’T MISS ANY OF THESE FOR TONIGHT! LET’S GET ON WITH THE SHOW!

(The camera quickly shifts to the back with Kyra Phillips who is standing by with Miku Sakai and Aria Lestrade as she looks ready to compete in the first match of the night. )

Kyra Phillips: Thank you Deadprez, I am standing right now with Miku Sakai who is about to lock horns with Auburn Ware after a lot of back and forth since Midsummer Massacre. Miku. You asked for this time.

Miku Sakai: Damn right I asked for this time, I have been asking two things, WHEN is my title shot and WHY am I not listed on Territorial Invasion!? Team Brand Warfare and War Games is set, yet there is nothing for me or my bestie Aria. It’s bad enough I have to wrestle this loser, Auburn Ware tonight, instead of getting my justified title match! I don’t like my chain getting pulled Kyra!

Aria Lestrade: She totally doesn’t, and Miku is right, where are we in all of this. We have been members of Showdown since last season and there is NO reason why we are being overlooked for Territorial Invasion, nor why Miku is not getting her justified title match! This is a travesty, and after she defeats Auburn tonight and we get rid of that pest, we will be looking for justice!

(Miku shakes her head, turning back toward Kyra Phillips.)

Miku Sakai: Honestly I am getting tired of being disrespected. And I –

(But before Miku could finish, she sees herself face to face with General Manager Kennedy Street and Assistant General Manager Alana Starr.)

Kennedy Street: Are you done complaining honey, so we can get down to business?

Miku Sakai: Excuse me?

Alana Starr: You are excused.

Miku Sakai: :francis:

(Kennedy grabs the mic from Kyra Phillips.)

Kennedy Street: Excuse me, Kyra honey. Kennie has heard your cries, That is why this needs to be addressed. First off your title match, it will happen AFTER Territorial Invasion at MY choosing. Now, secondly, as you and everyone else can see, Territorial Invasion is a huge deal for me this year. The Blue Brand is in a must win situation, that is why Kennie has put the best team together, which is why you are needed Miku, because there is no one else that Kennie could choose than for you to lead a team.

Miku Sakai: Me?

Kennedy Street: Yes, after talking to Captain Charisma and both Kensingten and Richard over on Voltage and Dynasty, we have decided on another Divide and Conquer match, but this time, it will be Showdown against a team comprised of Dynasty and Voltage members, and you Miku are going to lead the Showdown team in Divide and Conquer.

(Aria looks at Miku in excitement as she nods.)

Miku Sakai: :notbad:

Kennedy Street: You can pick anyone that is not involved in any other match at Territorial Invasion.

Miku Sakai: Well, you know my first pick is Aria!

Aria Lestrade: YES!

Kennedy Street: Actually no.

Aria Lestrade: No?

Kennedy Street: No… because you Aria will be representing Showdown in a Tri-brand Triple Threat and bring another win home to Showdown.

Aria Lestrade: :mjgrin:

Kennedy Street: Now go. Your match Miku is up first.

(Kennedy walks away as Miku and Aria look at one another satisfied with what Kennedy has planned for them as the camera fades to ringside and Gina Romano to call the first match.)

(Saturday Night Showdown returns from a commercial break as the camera zooms in to reveal Gina Romano standing at the center of the ring.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL! 

(‘STFU!’ by Rina Sawayama plays as Miku Sakai walks out, with Aria Lestrade proudly following behind her. Miku already despises the atmosphere, surrounded by what she perceives as a bunch of crackheads in New Zealand. She shakes her head in disbelief as she heads straight to the ring, while Aria Lestrade shares a similar reaction to Miku.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM FUKUI, JAPAN!… WEIGHING AT 110 POUNDS!… MIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!… SAKAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: Well, Miku had a lot to say this week. She pointed out Auburn’s tendency. A lack of work ethic and credibility to succeed, and she compared herself to Auburn claiming that she could achieve what Auburn Ware couldn’t. 

Deadprez: She also emphasized that Auburn is the one to blame for her own failure. Damn… Miku doesn’t like Auburn Ware much at all.

Gavin Kirkland: And you know what happened the last time someone said that to her? They got put in their rightful place! How dare you question my girl about anything she has done! RUDE! That’s why tonight, we’re going to settle this!

(Miku enters the ring, but as soon as she hears ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift (ft. Kendrick Lamar) playing, her emotions shift entirely to irritation. Auburn Ware storms out in rage, having endured Miku Sakai’s words this week. Auburn shouts from a distance while Miku continues to taunt her, calling her into the ring. Auburn takes off her jacket and rushes into the ring, trying to assault Miku, but the referee steps in between them, stopping both women so they can continue once the bell rings.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… FROM BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE!… WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS!… THE PRODIGY!…. AUBURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!… WAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! GET HER, AUBURN!

Eve: You could already see some emotion coming to this match from Auburn Ware. As she stated this week, she’s been talking a lot about Miku being overly hateful and talking about what Miku did at Midsummer Massacre was absolutely unfair. 

Deadprez: Auburn is right, and she’s coming to prove her wrong tonight in this match. She believes that Miku is desperate and is not okay with how Miku failed to achieve greater success due to her insecurity, which gives Auburn enough reason to put her in her place right here tonight.

(DING DING DING!)

(Just as the bell rang, Auburn was about to step out of the corner when she heard loud noises from a girl coming from across the ring where she stood.)

Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) HEY AUBURN, YOU SUCK!!!!!!! 

Auburn Ware: (Off-Mic) … What? 

Gavin Kirkland: NO TIME TO WASTE HERE! JUST AS ARIA DIALS IN, THE PERFECT CHANCE PRESENTS ITSELF! MIKU SAKAI DARTS FORWARD FROM BEHIND AND PROMPTLY CATCHES AUBURN IN A SURPRISE SCHOOL BOY ROLL-UP!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: THREE! Wow, almost there! Just almost! Auburn was nearly caught off guard when she diverted her attention towards Aria Lestrade at ringside! Auburn manages to escape, getting back to her feet and trying to approach Miku with a right hook! 

Eve: Miku ducks underneath, goes behind her, and stands tall… A chop from Miku goes right across Auburn’s chest! Miku quickly grabs Auburn and puts her up on the top rope!… PUSHING HER OFF THE TOP, AUBURN TAKES A NASTY FALL ONTO THE APRON AND ENDS UP FALLING TO THE OUTSIDE GROUND

Deadprez: The former Specialists Champion, who secured her shot by triumphing at Midsummer Massacre, remains completely in the dark about the situation. Now, she finds herself caught in the middle with Aria Lestrade. 

Gavin Kirkland: Miku is on a warpath alongside Auburn Ware—the very woman who snatched that victory from her at Midsummer Massacre. Miku makes her way around the outside, immediately hoisting Auburn to her feet… DRIVING HER GUT-FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE, SENDING AUBURN TUMBLING OVER IT AND CRASHING INTO THE CROWD AREA!

Referee: (Off-Mic) Both of you, return to the ring immediately! I will begin the count and disqualify both of you!

Eve: Fight now spilling outside the ring, Miku vaults over the barricade, eager to take the fight further with Auburn Ware! The crowd, fully aware of the action, is buzzing with excitement here tonight in New Zealand! Miku hauls Auburn back to her feet and delivers a resounding chop, sending the crowd into a frenzy as these two fierce female elitists go head-to-head! 

Referee: (Off-Mic) ONE!… TWO!… THREE!… 

Gavin Kirkland: The referee is now starting the count, but these two women are still outside fighting each other! They’re still going at it, and there’s no way this chaos will stop anytime soon out here! Auburn counters with a sharp elbow, Miku fires back with another stinging chop, and Auburn answers with yet another elbow! They’re trading blows in the thick of it! Quick, cameraman, keep up with them! I’m dying to see how this unfolds!!!!!!

Eve: Ahhh, it’s getting nastier the more these two women go at each other! Miku is biting the hell out of Auburn’s head! Could this be a variation of the Cat Scratch Fever?!

Referee: (Off-Mic) FOUR!…. FIVE!…

Gavin Kirkland: I think so—I might have to try it on myself for research purposes!

Deadprez: Auburn is now reeling from Miku Sakai’s fierce bite. She tightly locks her in, preparing for a swing over her head… A JUMPING SNAPMARE DRIVING AUBURN HEAD-FIRST INTO THE CONCRETE! 

Eve: Now picking her back to both feet, Miku seizes Auburn and hurls her over the barricade, sending her crashing back to the ringside area. Miku vaults over the barricade and is the first to re-enter the ring.

(Miku strides into the ring and heads straight toward the referee.)

Miku Sakai: (Off-Mic) Now count her out, you idiot! Don’t count me—count HER out! QUICK! MOVE IT!

Referee: (Off-Mic) Uhhh…. SIX!…. SEVEN!…

Gavin Kirkland: Poor Auburn is still hurt from those unorthodox moves that Miku made on the outside. Auburn struggles to get back to her feet, but the count keeps moving closer to the point where she might be out for good! Auburn gets to both knees! The count is moving closer!

Referee: (Off-Mic) EIGHT!…. NINE!….

Gavin Kirkland: But almost there! My glorious young queen from just around the corner, Auburn Ware, has barely made it back into the ring just in the nick of time! Miku is charging straight toward Auburn, who has just scrambled back inside, and hauls her up to her feet!… MIKU CLIMBS TO THE SECOND ROPE AND SPRINGS OFF WITH A TORNADO DDT! 

Eve: Auburn is down once more, with Miku targeting the exact spot where she was already hurt! Miku quickly rolls her over for a cover!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: Auburn powers out at two, leaving Miku not quite happy with what she just witnessed. Auburn Ware managed to kick out and seems like she wants to blame the referee for counting too slowly or something similar. 

Deadprez: Aria is watching and smiling with a wicked look on her face, knowing that everything has gone in her and Miku’s favor so far. Miku stands tall yet again, picking Auburn Ware back up to her feet, and now sending her down towards the corner. 

Gavin Kirkland: Miku begins to run… A CORNER LARIAT CONNECTS WITH AUBURN IN THE CORNER! Miku now follows up with rapid forearm smashes, connecting shot after shot with Auburn, who is already stunned down there! Auburn can barely move. Miku takes full control of the situation and heads across the ring to the opposite corner. 

Eve: Her back hits the corner as she runs back towards Auburn… A CORNER RUNNING FOREARM SMASH CONNECTS WITH AUBURN WARE YET AGAIN!

(Miku stops her movement and looks down at Auburn Ware, who is in pain, watching over herself after those attacks from Miku. Meanwhile, Miku is outraged.)

Miku Sakai: (Off-Mic) Hey, are you going to fight back?! Move your fatass up already!

(SLAP!)

Gavin Kirkland: *Gasps* Uh ohhhhhhh…..

Eve: I don’t think that’s a good idea. :lupe:

Deadprez: Yeah…

Gavin Kirkland: And as if on cue! Auburn has had enough of Miku’s antics and is now firing stiff palm strikes, one after another, across Miku’s jaw, pushing her way out of the corner! 

Eve: Auburn follows up with forearm smashes, returning the favor for what Miku did to her earlier! Auburn steps back, looking to finish with a Spinning Back Fist! But Miku counters with a Chop to the Arm, halting Auburn’s momentum! 

Deadprez: Miku heads towards the ropes, bounces back, but Auburn tracks her down and bounces off the ropes from the side… MAD HONEY OFF THE SECOND ROPE PLANTS MIKU’S FACE INTO THE GROUND! 

Gavin Kirkland: A beautiful Springboard Bulldog from the one and only young queen herself! Auburn rolls her over for a pinfall attempt immediately!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku gets her shoulder off the ground at two this time! Miku entered this match with no remorse and no care for what Auburn may want, while Auburn knows in her heart that the victory Miku got was taken away from her. She’s out here to prove that she wasn’t in the wrong for what happened at Midsummer Massacre. 

Eve: Miku is struggling to get back on her feet, but Auburn springs up and lands a right hook across Miku’s face while she’s still down on both knees! Auburn forces her back to the mat, raining down punches from both sides, leaving Miku completely defenseless against the onslaught!

Deadprez: The crowd is absolutely hyped up by the energy Auburn brings to the ring tonight! Miku is struggling to fight back! Auburn now picks Miku off the ground and lifts her up… A FISHERMAN BUSTER PLANTS MIKU SAKAI ONTO THE GROUND!

(After flooring Miku, Auburn glances back at Aria, who stands there with a frightened expression, her hands raised in the air to signal that she means no harm.)

Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) Aye, focus on your match, buddy! 

Gavin Kirkland: Earlier in the match, a mind game threw Auburn off, causing her to lose track of the match itself. Now, Auburn has refocused and is waiting in the corner, looking down at Miku and strategizing. She may be planning to hit a big move now that her energy is surging!…

(Suddenly, Aria approaches the ringside area and is just about to grab Auburn’s leg, but the referee catches sight of her first.)

Referee: (Off-Mic) HEY! WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?

Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) NO, NO! I DROPPED MY PHONE! I WAS JUST TRYING TO PICK IT UP! IT HAPPENED TO BE CLOSE TO WHERE SHE IS!

Eve: Aria is trying to cheat while the referee is out of sight. Miku can be seen getting back to her feet just as Auburn, distracted by the incident, runs towards her… Miku counters with a right hand, knocking Auburn down! Miku now turns Auburn around—SHE MIGHT BE SETTING UP FOR THE STARFALL! 

Deadprez: SHE SCOOPS AUBURN UP FOR THE VERTEBREAKER, BUT AUBURN LANDS ON HER FEET INSTEAD!… A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX RIGHT ON HER NECK!!!!! MY GOD! WHAT AN IMPACTFUL MOVE BY AUBURN WARE! HERE’S THE COVER! AUBURN BRIDGING INTO A PINFALL!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: TWO! MIKU MIGHT BARELY HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT, BUT IT STILL COUNTS! 

Eve: That Bridging German Suplex landed with such power that it almost caused Miku to lose it all in this match! Auburn is now getting back to her feet, and she could be setting up for something big here! She throws down one leg and follows with the other behind Miku’s back—she might be trying to set up for the Scissored Armbar! 

Gavin Kirkland: Miku isn’t letting her fully apply it! Miku eventually rolls through with Auburn under her control. Auburn’s back hits the ground, and MIKU IMMEDIATELY JUMPS INTO A JACKKNIFE ROLL-UP! SHE’S LOOKING TO TAKE A SHORTCUT AND END IT RIGHT HERE! AND A COUNT! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: Miku kicks out! Both women get to their feet at the same time, with Auburn immediately swinging a Spinning Roundhouse Kick across Miku’s head to stun her! 

Deadprez: Auburn, exhausted, leans against Miku before charging toward the ropes… Miku catches her with an elbow! Miku quickly grabs Auburn and tries to Irish whip her, but Auburn reverses it, pulling Miku back and seizing her wrist instead… OH!!!! SHINY BROKEN PIECES!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: YES! A FEROCIOUS, HARD DISCUS FOREARM SMASH CONNECTS PERFECTLY WITH MIKU’S JAW, ALMOST KNOCKING HER OUT!… BUT MIKU WANTS MORE! AUBURN IS IN DISBELIEF AND SWINGS FOR ANOTHER! 

Eve: MIKU DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES…. RUNNING KNEE!!!!!!! MIKU’S RUNNING KNEE TAKES AUBURN DOWN, BUT IT JUST SENDS AUBURN BACK TO HER FEET, COMING OFF THE ROPES AUTOMATICALLY… RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE TAKES MIKU DOWN COMPLETELY! AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE OUT!

Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) COME ON, MIKU!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! This is exactly what I’m talking about! This is the pinnacle of women’s wrestling right here! Only on Showdown! The greatest weekly show of all time!!!

Deadprez: The crowd here at Spark Arena is on cloud nine watching this match! Both women are down after those stiff shots and big moves they’ve taken from each other, but one is looking to get back up after being out for a while! The crowd is at their peak, absolutely enjoying every moment of this!

(Both women can slowly be seen getting back to their feet after resting for a while from the relentless shots they’ve been taking at each other. Now, they bump heads, neither of them looking to go down without a fight.)

Gavin Kirkland: Both women are on their knees, staring into each other’s souls as a forearm strike initiates the fight once again! Miku starts off with a forearm… Auburn responds with one of her own, connecting solidly! Miku switches it up, delivering a sharp chop across Auburn’s chest! My god, did you hear that? How does she still have the energy to hit that?! 

Deadprez: Auburn Ware tries her best to resist, slowly gathering more energy and facing Miku once more… she connects with a chop of her own, almost sending Miku’s soul flying out of the arena! If Miku can do it, Auburn can too! A stiff exchange of strikes ensues as they go right at each other! 

Eve: Both women get back to their feet, and the chop exchange continues! A chop from Miku! A chop from Auburn!… Another chop from Miku!… Another chop from Auburn! Miku… can’t fight back this time! 

Gavin Kirkland: Auburn relentlessly continues to chop the hell out of Miku! Miku slowly falls to her knees—she can’t resist it! Auburn’s got the upper hand, and she charges in… SPINNING BACK FIST BY AUBURN WARE!

Eve: SHE MISSES! MIKU DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND SCOOPS HER OVER! OH NO!… STARFALL!!!!!!! VERTEBREAKER CONNECTS THIS TIME! MIKU DROPS INTO A COVER ON HER RIGHT AFTER! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREE-

Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! YES!

Eve: THREE?! NO! AUBURN SURVIVES! SHE KICKS OUT AT TWO! 

Deadprez: Starfall managed to connect, but this might be the end for Auburn Ware! Miku Sakai is back on track, turning her back to Auburn Ware, who she just picked up from the ground! Auburn can’t even see what’s in front of her right now after the Starfall, and Miku is seizing the moment!… MIKU WITH THE DEATH NOTE! 

Gavin Kirkland: MIKU IS GOING FOR THE ASAI DDT, BUT AUBURN WARE PUTS A STOP TO THAT IN ITS TRACKS! SHE CATCHES MIKU MID-MOVE, HOOKING THE ARM, AND NOW SHE’S HOISTING HER UP!… AUBURN WARE IS GOING FOR THE FAIRY TALE! SHE’S ABOUT TO END THIS WITH A HALF-NELSON PUMPHANDLE DRIVER!!!!!

Eve: Miku slips out of the hold as it loosens, and Auburn misses her chance to hit one of her finishers, now facing a standing Miku… A RIGHT HAND LANDS ACROSS HER FACE, STUNNING HER! Miku takes off down the ropes and comes flying back… GOING FOR THE CUCK KILLER! 

Deadprez: A double leg takedown at the center of the ring as Auburn catches both of her legs!… SHE CATAPULTS MIKU OVER THE ROPES, SENDING HER CRASHING DOWN ON THE APRON!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku slowly pulls herself back to her feet as Auburn tries to move in. Miku delivers a forearm, sending Auburn stumbling back toward the center of the ring from the apron! Miku’s setting it up!… SHE’S GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH!

Eve: AUBURN WARE CATCHES MIKU IN MID-AIR, BRINGING HER CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT. SHE ATTEMPTS TO LOCK IN THE DOUBLE ARM-TRAP OCTOPUS STRETCH, KNOWN AS ZERO DAYS! 

Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN MANAGES TO SECURE BOTH OF MIKU’S ARMS TIGHTLY, BUT MIKU FIGHTS BACK FIERCELY, ROLLING THROUGH THE HOLD DESPITE AUBURN’S GRIP! 

Deadprez: NOW THEY ROLL TOGETHER, AUBURN ADJUSTS HER POSITION, SHIFTING INTO A SEATED STANCE BESIDE MIKU! SHE QUICKLY TRANSITIONS, THROWING AN ARM OVER MIKU’S HEAD, SETTING UP FOR HER NEXT MOVE—DREAMLAND, THE GROUNDED DRAGON SLEEPER!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: MIKU REACTS JUST AS QUICKLY, FLIPPING BACKWARD IN AN ATTEMPT TO PIN AUBURN DOWN! AUBURN, EVER AGILE, ROLLS THROUGH THE MANEUVER AS WELL AND SLIPS BEHIND MIKU!…. AUBURN LOCKS IN THE LOVELY BONES! 

Eve: THE KATA HA JIME SUBMISSION HOLD! MIKU FINDS HERSELF TRAPPED, STRUGGLING TO ESCAPE AS AUBURN TIGHTENS THE GRIP! MIKU IS NOW IN DEEP TROUBLE!

Deadprez: Wait a second! Aria Lestrade just immediately hopped onto the apron! She’s calling out Auburn Ware!

Aria Lestrade: (Off-Mic) You stupid little bitch, I will kill you! LET HER GO!!!!!

Eve: The referee gets back on his feet and tries to get Aria off the apron. Auburn releases Miku to approach Aria, who is trying to throw a punch! Aria quickly hops off the apron, and Auburn swings but misses! 

Gavin Kirkland: Miku grabs the referee and drags him away, giving Aria the opportunity to capitalize on Auburn’s miss. Aria, now off the apron, trips Auburn, causing her to fall. Aria is holding down Auburn’s leg! REF! SHE’S HOLDING HER LEG DOWN! 

Deadprez: LOOK! LOOK!

Eve: IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE! MIKU QUICKLY CLEARS THE PATH TO GO FOR A COVER ON AUBURN, BLOCKING THE REFEREE’S VIEW OF ARIA HOLDING AUBURN’S LEGS! THE REFEREE IS UNAWARE, AND THE COUNT BEGINS AS SHE TRIES TO VIOLENTLY KICKS OUT!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: NOT LIKE THIS!…..

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… MIKU SAKAI!

(Aria quickly drags Miku from underneath the bottom rope down to the outside floor right after the pinfall hits.)

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!??!?!?!

Eve: It happened again! Auburn Ware has been screwed out of this match, and Miku Sakai picked up another win over her—this time thanks to Aria’s help and the referee’s blindness, who didn’t catch her leg being trapped by Aria’s hands!

Deadprez: NOT EVEN WASTING ANY TIME OR LETTING THE THEME SONG PLAY, AUBURN COMES OFF THE RING, GRABS ARIA, AND SENDS HER FACE-FIRST INTO THE RING POST! 

Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN IS NOW HUNTING DOWN MIKU, WHO JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AFTER THE MATCH… SHE DRIVES MIKU BACK-FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON WITH A SHOULDER THRUST, LEAVING MIKU REELING IN PAIN!

Eve: SHE’S AT THE END OF HER ROPE WITH MIKU, JUST AS MIKU AND ARIA HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH AUBURN WARE—BUT FOR AUBURN, IT CUTS MUCH DEEPER; HER FRUSTRATION WITH THEM IS A BONE OF CONTENTION! AUBURN GOES STRAIGHT FOR ARIA, WHO JUST PULLED A FAST ONE ON HER, TAKING HER DOWN NEAR OUR COMMENTARY TABLE! 

Gavin Kirkland: GUYS, WE MIGHT NEED TO CLEAR OUT AS AUBURN WARE SLAMS ARIA’S FACE DOWN ON THE HARD SURFACE OF THE COMMENTARY TABLE! MIKU, WRITHING IN PAIN, TRIES TO SWOOP IN TO SAVE ARIA, BUT AUBURN DRIVES A RIGHT KICK INTO HER GUT AND TAKES CHARGE!… AUBURN, WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE, JUST POWERBOMBS MIKU ON TOP OF ARIA, SENDING BOTH WOMEN CRASHING ONTO OUR TABLE!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: IT’S FAR FROM OVER! AUBURN DRAGS ARIA BACK INTO THE RING WHILE LEAVING MIKU OUT COLD ON OUR TABLE! AUBURN HURLS ARIA INTO THE RING; SHE’S STRUGGLING TO GET BACK ON HER FEET!

Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN QUICKLY PICKS ARIA UP FROM THE MAT…. SPINNING BACK FIST CONNECTS WITH ARIA!!!!!!! AUBURN IMMEDIATELY YANKS ARIA UP AND LOCKS HER IN THE LOVELY BONES RIGHT AFTER THE FIST SMASHES INTO HER FACE, KNOCKING HER OUT COLD! 

Eve: AUBURN IS SEEING RED, AND ARIA’S LIFELESS BODY IS PAYING THE PRICE FOR HER ACTIONS!

Deadprez: MIKU IS SEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO CRAWL BACK INTO THE RING, INCHING TOWARD HER PARTNER, WHO’S ALREADY SUFFERING IN THE TIGHT HOLD. AUBURN RELEASES ARIA AND STALKS OVER TO MIKU, READY TO PICK HER UP… FISHERMAN BUSTER SLAMS MIKU RIGHT ON TOP OF ARIA, WHO’S ALREADY OUT COLD!… AND NOW SHE’S LOCKING MIKU IN THE LOVELY BONES AS WELL!

(Auburn eventually chokes both women out, stacking their bodies on top of each other. She stands tall, glaring down at them with a look that could kill. Shaking her head in frustration, she immediately rolls out of the ring and storms back up the ramp as ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift (ft. Kendrick Lamar) plays.)

Gavin Kirkland: My god, after witnessing that, it’s clear—never cross Auburn Ware or screw her out of a match! This is the price you pay!

Eve: Auburn feels she’s been treated unfairly by these two, so now she might have to double down on her focus for a comeback after everything they’ve done to sabotage her.

(Shaking her head in frustration, Auburn immediately rolls out of the ring and storms back up the ramp as ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift (ft. Kendrick Lamar) plays. Auburn then disappears behind the curtain, and the camera cuts back to show Aria and Miku lying lifelessly on top of one another as the final shot before Showdown fades into a commercial break.)

(A commercial break airs for the Persona 3: Reload – Episode: Aigis DLC, featuring Aria Lestrade.)

(The camera returns to the ring where the arena is dead silent for a moment before the sounds of “True Love” by CFO$ start playing. The boos immediately start to get louder as the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Jaded Hearts, enter the arena and look more annoyed than usual. Kass and Sienna hold their Tag Titles in the air before they head to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the ring at this time, the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! SIENNA JADE! KASSIDY HEART! THE JADED HEARTS!

Gavin Kirkland: I love this part of the show. The part where we are graced with the presence of the hottest team in EAW history. The Jaded Hearts are here on Showdown.

Eve: Well, no duh, Gavin! Sienna Jade is in our main event later tonight. Of course they’re here. But I think they are out here right now to talk about what went down last night. Safe to say that they got their wish

Deadprez: Sounds like a pretty safe bet, Eve, but the question is will The Jaded Hearts accept the challenge? I guess we are about to find out.

(Kassidy and Sienna walk past the timekeeper’s table as they both grab microphones and enter the ring. They walk towards the center of the ring and stand there as their entrance music slowly fades off before they begin to speak.)

Sienna Jade: Kassidy. Is it just me or is it that every time we come out and talk to these miscreants, it’s always about something that is trying to make our lives a living nightmare.

Kassidy Heart: You know what, Sienna? It’s not just you. I feel that way too and it is really starting to piss me off.

Sienna Jade: Me too. Since we are talking about things that piss us off, did you see what happened last night on Dynasty?

Kassidy Heart: Sadly, I did. We FINALLY had a tag team step up and challenge us for these beautiful Tag Team Championships at Territorial Invasion.

Sienna Jade: Unfortunately, the team that challenged us was…Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister? Fire and Ice or whatever the hell they call themselves.

(Kass and Sienna look at each other for a moment before they start busting out laughing as they think about the challenge Rex and Raven issued last night.)

Kassidy Heart: Those two? I know we issued the challenge for ANY team to step up to us for a title match at Territorial Invasion, but you have got to be fucking kidding us.

Sienna Jade: I mean seriously?!? Is every other damn team in this company so afraid of us that it left Fire and Ice to step up to the plate? Come on, people! Get some fucking backbones for gawds sake.

Kassidy Heart: You can say that again. I mean, Sienna. When you think about the challenge laid down by those two, it’s not really annoying. It’s actually more…amusing.

Sienna Jade: I see what you mean. I guess that Raven was getting a little too bored in her marriage, so she is trying to get some excitement in any other way she can. 

Kassidy Heart: Of course there’s Rex. I think he is the Ice of the Fire and Ice team because Gawd knows the natural fire and heat went out of Rex a long time ago. His fire needs a little assistance in the form of something called… VIAGRA!

(Kassidy and Sienna start laughing again to the point of hysterics which gets the crowd to really start booing the Tag Champions out of the building.)

Sienna Jade: SHUT THE HELL UP!! You guys wouldn’t know good entertainment unless it bit you on the ass. You only boo us because what we are saying is true. Is there anything wrong with having a little bit of fun at their expense?

Kassidy Heart: Things are always better at somebody else’s expense, but let’s go ahead and get serious for a moment. You all think that just because Fire and Ice… Rex and Raven… issued the challenge to us that you really think that THEY will be the team that ultimately brings down our reign as Champions.

Sienna Jade: We hate to break to all of you, but it isn’t going to happen. If you really think that they have a chance of defeating us, then you all really haven’t been paying attention for the last several months. 

Kassidy Heart: If not, I’ll explain it to you all because you idiots have such short term memories about historic moments. Have you seen how dominant we have been since winning these titles?

Sienna Jade: Let me tell you that simply calling it a dominant reign is a huge understatement. I could think of much stronger words that just DOMINANT. How about HISTORY MAKING?

Kassidy Heart: What about LEGENDARY? Because that’s exactly what this reign is considering it is coming from the greatest tag team in EAW HISTORY! You know what, Rex and Raven? We welcome the challenge at Territorial Invasion.

(The crowd starts to cheer at the acceptance of the challenge. Kass and Sienna just roll their eyes at the cheering sheep in the crowd before continuing.) 

Sienna Jade: By all means, step right up to the plate, just don’t be too offended if you leave the same way you entered Territorial Invasion… EMPTY HANDED!

Kassidy Heart: Sure, you have got the job done and won these titles in the past, but it’s just not the same. The level of intensity has greatly increased since we won these titles and it isn’t gonna change anytime soon. Face it! You are just going to help further our legacy. Because at Territorial Invasion, you will both be in a position that you have both experienced in your marriage… BEING FLAT ON YOUR BACKS!

(Kass and Sienna drop their microphones as “True Love” starts playing again as the boos pick up and the Champions leave the ring.)

Eve: Well there you have it. The Jaded Hearts have officially accepted the challenge and it will be The Jaded Hearts taking on Fire and Ice at Territorial Invasion with the Unified Tag Titles on the line.

Gavin Kirkland: Such beauty and such power. I am excited just thinking about it. 

Deadprez: Yeah…ok. But this is going to be a hard hitting match. Fire and Ice are former Unified Tag Team Champions and would love to win the titles for the second time as a team. Things are just starting to heat up, especially after those comments made by the Jaded Hearts. Be ready for a fight. 

(The final shot shows Kassidy and Sienna holding their title belts in the air while showing their superiority over the tag team division as the camera cuts elsewhere.)

(Kennedy Street is seen walking down the hallway toward her office when she is quickly interrupted by none other than Raeangel Guzman. The young and fiery Latina has her arms folded with a very disdained look on her face.)

Kennedy Street: You look very annoyed.

Raeangel Guzman: I am. And I need to go when am I going to get my Specialist Championship match!?

Kennedy Street: Well, I was going to wait until after your match to tell you, but why not, Kennie doesn’t mind letting the cat out of the bag. Raeangel, since this is your first Territorial Invasion, it is also going to be a very special one, because yet again, I talked to Dynasty’s Kensington and Richard, along with Voltage’s Captain Charisma, and in the spirit of Territorial Invasion, there will be a Triple Threat Tri-Brand showcase for the Specialist Championship.

(Raeangel tilts her head.)

Raeangel Guzman: Tell me more.

Kennedy Street: Since you won that opportunity to challenge for the Specialist Championship, Kennie thinks this would be the perfect time to put you to the test, because like I told Miku Sakai to start off Showdown, like I have said to Veena Adams, Milli Banks, and Bronson Daniels, like I told Aria Lestrade and finally Charlie Marr with his Brand Warfare Team, this is one of the most important Territorial Invasions for Showdown and Kennie plans to make sure that her talented roster brings home those wins.

(Raeangel cracks a cocky smirk.)

Raeangel Guzman: Then I guess you don’t have anything to worry about then because come Territorial Invasion not only will I bring home the win for Showdown, but I am also bring back the title to the Blue Brand.

Kennedy Street: Good, because the two women that you are facing, Daniella Atlas on Dynasty and KASAI on Voltage are two women that were here on Showdown last season and had a bright future here, but were taken from my hands in the draft, and what Kennie wants? Is for you to prove that I have the brightest star of the three here on Showdown. Can you do that, honey?

Raeangel Guzman: Oh, I think I can.

Kennedy Street: Good, now go out to your match because it’s next and do not disappoint.

(The General Manager smiles and walks off. It takes a second for Raeangel to truly grasp the opportunity that is at hand, as she then cracks a smirk and heads to the ring as the scene fades to Gina Romano ready to announce the introductions to the next match.)

 (The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(Tear Away by Drowning Pool hits to boos from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first being accompanied by La Familia… She is “El Oxígeno” RAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEANGEL GUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZMAN!!!!!!!!

(Raeangel Guzman makes her way down to the ring with Roberto De La Rosa, Luis De La Rosa, and Brianna Hill walking slowly behind her.)

Eve: Well it looks like we are going to have a four on one bout. How much do you want to bet that they get involved before the one minute mark?

Gavin Kirkland: I can’t afford to lose any more money. But I will say that Raeangel is looking very fine and I’d like to spend some of my money on her if ya know what I’m saying.

Deadprez: I don’t want to know. But I do want to know who will win this match. The fans will probably enjoy it as they hate both competitors so can enjoy watching them beat the hell out of each other for fun.

(Swallowing the Rabbit Whole by Code Orange hits as the crowd continues to boo.)

Gina Romano: And her opponent from Martinsburg, West Virginia she is “The Appalachian Angel” ELLLLLLLLY ELLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

(Elly Elle makes her way down to the ring looking cocky and strutting down the ramp until she passes by La Familia who are surrounding her at the end of the ramp. She cautiously rolls into the ring evading them.)

Eve: Well it looks like reality is setting in for Elly who maybe should have found some friends to come out here with her ton-

Gavin Kirkland: MY LOVE ELLY! I WILL PROTECT YOU! LA FAMILIA STAY AWAY!

Deadprez: You will do nothing but sit here my friend. Elly can handle herself! She is not backing down and Raeangel is going to find out just how tough she really is if she thought she could intimidate Elly she has another thing coming!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: We are underway as Elly Elle and Raeangel Guzman are getting up in each others faces and talking smack. We can’t even repeat what they are saying on air. Thankfully we no longer have to censor this. Disney would be shook!

Deadprez: They sure would but not as shook as Elly is after Raeangel just slapped the shit out of her! Elly fires back with a slap of her own! But that is not going to sit well with Raeangel! Raeangel grabs a fist full of Elly’s hair and yanks her to the ground! But Elly rakes the eyes of Raeangel and grabs her by the hair pulling her down too! And now both of these women are on the floor and they lunge at each other scratching and clawing at each other’s faces while grabbing and pulling at the hair!

Eve: Elly Elle manages to pull Raeangel Guzman into the ropes and begins pressing down her neck into the rope. The referee is intervening now but it is not necessary as Raeangel kicks backwards throwing Elly off her. Raeangel back up and slugs back against Elly with repeated straight rights but Elly grabs the arm of Raeangel and whips her across the ring. A hard back chop to the chest of Raeangel! But Raeangel ducks beneath! Raeangel off the ropes and goes for a Running Clothesline on Elly but Elly rolls out of the way getting back up realizing how close she just came to getting her head taken off.

Deadprez: Both competitors now slowing things down a bit before Elly and Raeangel lock up. Elly shoves Raeangel into the ropes but Raeangel retaliates with a hard chop right to the neck. Elly begins choking from the pressure to her larynx and Raeangel takes advantage grabbing both arms and tossing Elly backwards with a Double Underhook Suplex. Elly flips out of it landing on her feet but Raeangel charges her with a hard shove to the face! Elly is not taking that and charges in at Raeangel who side steps. Elly runs off the ropes as Raeangel turns around and eats a Running Knee Strike from Elly! Raeangel goes rolling out of the ring but Elly up to the top rope! Elly with a Leaping Back Elbow off the top to Raeangel on the outside!

Gavin Kirkland: No! Raeangel Guzman caught Elly Elle in midair and dropped her backwards with a Backdrop! Elly goes dropping hard at high speed right on her upper back! That was a brutal fall and that had to hurt like hell! Raeangel is now rolling back into the ring at the urging of the La Familia members at ringside as the referee is counting! Raeangel might win this thing by count out!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE-

Eve: But Elly Elle rolls back into the ring just in time! As soon as she does Raeangel Guzman comes off the middle rope with a leaping Knee Drop off the top rope crushing down onto the ankle of Elly! Elly screams in pain and Raeangel might have just snapped her ankle with the force of that! Raeangel grabs the legs of Elly and twists the leg around and applies a Figure 4 Leglock! Right in the middle of the ring! Elly is thrashing around in pain but can she get to the ropes to break the hold!

Deadprez: Elly manages to rotate around sideways as she reaches out towards the ropes before sitting up and trying to swing at Raeangel! But Raeangel falls backwards and Elly is unable to reach her! Elly manages to turn around! Reversing the Figure 4! Now the pressure is on Raeangel! But Raeangel flips around into a seated position! But she is close enough now for Elly to hit her!

Eve: Thumb to the eye from Elly to Raeangel who falls backwards grabbing her eye in pain! She releases the Figure 4 Leglock as she checks her eye in the corner but Elly charges in with a barrage of punches! Raeangel shoves Elly away before picking her up and dropping her down with a Body slam! Raeangel to the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!-

Deadprez: But the kickout from Elly Elle! Raeangel Guzman back up to meet Elly back in the ring once more… Raeangel grabs Elly into a Side Headlock before ducking around behind her and locking her into an illegal strangle hold. The referee is immediately trying to break it up! But Raeangel is yelling at the referee that it was a Sleeper Hold. It most certainly was not… But anyway, this has allowed Elly to sneak up behind Elly and roll her up with a School Girl rollup!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Elly has the tights! Elly yanking those tights all the way down and we can see that fine a-

Referee: TW-

Eve: Kickout from Raeangel Guzman! Raeangel back up as she charges in with a running Clothesline!!! But Elly ducks under it! Elly with a hard kick to the gut! But Raeangel grabs Elly and yanks her down to the mat with a Snapmare Takedown into a headlock. Raeangel trying to slow the pace of the match, but Elly manages to slip out of it! Elly back up as she runs across the ring at Raeangel-

Deadprez: But Luis De La Rosa on the outside grabbed the leg of Elly and tripped her! The referee didn’t see it! Raeangel Guzman is now taking full advantage climbing onto the back of Elly Elle and applying a Camel Clutch! Raeangel looking to break the back of Elly and humble her in front of the entire world!

Eve: But Elly is managing to power back up to her feet! How can she pull this off? She charges back first into the corner ramming Raeangel into it and breaking free of that hold! Raeangel collapses into the corner as Elly comes off the ropes and charges in connecting with a Bronco Buster bouncing on top of Raeangel and doing some damage while also humiliating her! Raeangel rolls out of the ring onto the apron, but Elly bounces off the ropes… Baseball Slide into Raeangel sending her flying across the floor and crashing back first into the LED barricade!!!

Deadprez: But Elly is not through! She exits the ring and begins throwing hard punches to Raeangel outside the ring! Elly begins smashing the head of Raeangel into the steel ring steps! And now she is stepping up to the La Familia members confronting her at ringside! They got a little too close, but she is not backing down and yelling at them to come fight her! But Raeangel comes at Elly from behind! Elly ducks and Raeangel nearly takes out Roberto De La Rosa with a Running Lariat! But she stopped in time! Elly grabs Raeangel from behind by the hair and tosses her back into the ring. They begin to brawl again in the ring as Elly grabs the arm of Raeangel and snaps it hard sending her flipping onto the mat. Elly then comes off the ropes with a Running Senton, but Raeangel moves out of the way! Elly rolls off it and gets back up, but Raeangel grabs her by the leg!

Gavin Kirkland: Raeangel Guzman pulls on the leg knocking Elly Elle down to the mat. Raeangel positions herself on top of Elly and transitions into a Half Boston Crab, but Elly immediately grabs the ropes! But Raeangel is refusing to release the hold! The referee is counting, and she might get disqualified here!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-

Eve: But Raeangel Guzman releases the hold in time! She is not messing around with this referee! Elly is dragged back out into the middle of the ring as Raeangel grabs the leg dragging her back out into the middle of the ring. Elly kicks at Raeangel sending her flying backwards right into the referee-

Deadprez: No! Raeangel stopped herself in time before she collided with the referee. That was a close call. Elly sneaks up from behind and grabs the hair of Raeangel and runs her hard into the corner. Raeangel puts her feet up and runs up the ropes before leaping up onto the top rope and flipping off into a Head scissors sending Elly flying across the ring. Insane agility on display from Raeangel! Elly back up as she offers to shake the hand of Raeangel who looks at her with disgust. Elly grabs the hand of Raeangel forcing her to shake her hand, but Raeangel just yanks her in and connects with a Spinning Side Slam! Raeangel with the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eve: Kickout by Elly Elle! Raeangel Guzman is laughing at Elly now and talking smack about how she will never respect her as a competitor. Raeangel is shown wiping her hand off on her tights to show that she is disgusted with the idea of shaking Elly’s hand. Raeangel then backhands Elly across the face knocking her down to the mat. Raeangel goes up to the middle rope and leaps off with a Flying Crossbody onto Elly! She gets all of it driving her knees hard into the face of Elly! She is smashing her knees repeatedly into Elly’s face but isn’t done yet! Raeangel goes back up and she is just showing off now! She taunts the crowd before leaping off with a Corkscrew Crossbody!!!

Deadprez: But Elly rolls through into a cover of her own!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Elly almost stole it… but Raeangel kicked out at the last millisecond! Elly stays on Raengel keeping her grounded with a Bearhug, but Raeangel is getting into a seated position and trying to pull herself back up. Elly transitions into a Hammerlock but Raeangel grabs the arm and hits an Arm Drag throwing Elly across the ring. Elly back up but Raeangel lifts her up and drops her neck first over the top rope! Elly collapses backwards as she falls back towards Raeangel who grabs her and throws her backwards!!!

Eve: RIGHT INTO THE REFEREE!!! ELLY ELLE JUST INADVERTENTLY SPEARED THE REFEREE!!!

Deadprez: The referee is down and now the floodgates have opened! La Familia is immediately storming the ring and ganging up on Elly Elle! All three members of La Familia are stomping away at Elly and this thing has turned into a mugging!

Eve: Roberto De La Rosa lifts Elly Elly up onto the shoulders of Brianna Hill and Luis De La Rosa… and they drop her down with a Double Powerbomb! Roberto now directing traffic as he orders Brianna to go get something from outside the ring!

Deadprez: Brianna Hill rolls out of the ring and tosses a chair into the ring! And another chair enters the ring as well! And a third! All three members of La Familia have steel chairs now and they are ganging up on Elly Elle with repeated strikes with the chair! Come on ref! Get back up and disqualify these pieces of trash!

Gavin Kirkland: Come on Elly doesn’t deserve this… Someone needs to get in there and protect her!

Eve: Will that someone be yourself?

Gavin Kirkland: No. No, I don’t think that it will.

Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa drives the chair down into the throat of Elly Elle and look at the blood begin to pour down the face and out of the mouth of Elly! She has been badly beaten and severely injured out here tonight! La Familia now leaving the ring, and this is going to be easy work for Raeangel to deal with! She is going to easily put away Elly and she did not earn this victory whatsoever! This is an outrage!

Eve: Sickening tactics for real for real. Raeangel Guzman now grabbing Elly Elle and lifting her up into the air… She drops her down with the Sweet Venom Injection! She got all of it! Raeangel goes for the cover, and this is obviously over…

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Eve: Not this waiiii!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Deadprez: GAWD DAMMIT IT’S OVER!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… RAEANGELLLLLLLLLLLLL GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZMAN!!!!!!!!!!

(Gina Romano has her hand raised by the referee briefly before La Familia enters the ring and shoves the referee to the ground. La Familia then raises Raeangel Guzman up on their shoulders as they begin to celebrate.)

Deadprez: Wow. She totally cheated. I am shocked!

Gavin Kirkland: Well, I mean they were both cheating basically the entire match.

Eve: You know Gavin… you are actually right for once. In a way Raeangel totally won this match fairly because she just demonstrated more skill at cheating than the opposition.

Deadprez: Damn. I never thought of it like that… Is this what the game I love has truly come to in big 2024?

(The camera cuts to a “don’t try this at home” commercial which has the unintended effect of causing more fans to try it at home.)

(Showdown slowly came back from commercials and now the camera moved over towards one of the locker rooms in backstage, some wrestlers were just grabbing their stuff, chatting about some things here and there and simply minding their own business, not noticing at all that there were some people pushing a few things onto the room and setting up on something weird. It is only when one of the wrestlers ends up pointing out what was happening and then suddenly, the lights of the locker room are completely turned off.)

(Some small spotlights around were suddenly lit up across this area in particular, and everyone else saw that there was a small podium as well, two people quickly rushed over as fast as they can ducked down making sure they did not get noticed before finally, someone popped up right behind the podium, and the person turned out to be a very hurt and annoyed Miku Sakai herself from earlier, along with her new bestie who also was knocked out earlier, but is alright.)

Miku Sakai: Ladies and gentlemen, I arrive here at this… slightly trashy locker room to bring you a message, to bring you something all of you people will need to hear at this moment and will not be able to continue going on in life without needing something like this, and believe me, all of you should have something like this by this point, but seeing from the expressions that you have on your faces, I can see that you have never had anybody be able to truly go and tell you what you truly need to do in life, you have never been told about the dangers of not putting a utensil in the electric socket, to not drink bleach, to not accidentally put yourself on the oven, I can see that and understand that, I have been around many idiots in my time who have actually done that, too many to count. Remember when me and Hikari had those simps just stuck to ourselves and not willing to, y’know, just leave us alone? Yeah, those guys, thank fuck I don’t have them around anymore. The simp joke was just too 2021.

Aria Lestrade: She’s got better jokes!

Miku Sakai: Hell yeah I do! Okay though, I am very much getting off track, let me bring you all back to what is important here, the reason why I am here today to talk to all of you and show you this thing that you have been very much missing since probably the first day of your life. A leader. Someone to guide you, someone to be able to show you the way of your mistakes and truly tell you that pineapple does not go on top of pizza, no, what the fuck is wrong with you? Go see a medic. That is what you all need at this very moment, someone to be able to lead you to a promised land, someone to be able to go through with the words that they say and make all of your dreams and wishes come true, to be able to have at least the decency and skill of forming a coherent sentence without fucking up several times in the span of 10 seconds, to be able to have at least someone who is you know, actually a decent person and is not the worst person in the goddamn world to run for a spot with such power, yes, I don’t give a fuck if those people in charge over in Dynasty get angry about me insulting their guy, they can all suck my gigantic ass dick, we are quite literally beating their ass at Territorial Invasion either way so they can lose their job because of how bad they lost and they can go on and have some in-bred kids and ruin their life as well.

Aria Lestrade: Inspiring speech from my bestie!

Miku Sakai: What I am trying to say is right now that don’t let any of those other people tell you that they should be the one to lead, I SHOULD be the one to be the leader, I should be the one to be able to be the one in command and make the land that we live in a better place! My fellow Americans! (I am not American and some people in this room aren’t either but you get the point.). Let me tell you that if you vote me as president of the United States of America for this year, we will be FUCKING CELEBRATING EVERY DAY UNTIL WE CAN’T GO ON ANY LONGER-

(Suddenly Miku stops as she hears someone whispering to her, obviously Aria, about something and then she quickly clears her throat.)

Miku Sakai: Whoops, sorry, I got speeches crossed on something, my marketing team has informed me that I am supposed to say a speech about Divide and Conquer instead tonight, but do let me tell you, I would run this country better than whoever the fuck is running right now.

Aria Lestrade: Very real.

Miku Sakai: As real as it can get. Anyway, you all probably already know, or don’t, I don’t really care, but I am indeed going to be your leader for the Divide and Conquer match. And do let me tell you, I think all of you are not up to par for the task, and really, I think all of you just got put on this match just out of pity and because you don’t have anything else better to do, and let me tell you, I don’t know how the fuck I am going to be able to lead forward like this having you as my teammates but most importantly at all, no matter how many differences we have against each other, what connects us is that we are… wrestlers or something!

Aria Lestrade: Wrestling and… stuff!

Miku Sakai: YEAH, WRESTLING AND STUFF! So just imagine that whole speech I said right now, I copied, I pasted it, and replaced everything to make it involve with Divide and Conquer and then boom, I have already given you an inspiring speech to go off of to show how much of a leader I truly am. So most importantly of all, I am going to be your shining knight for all of you heading into the match, you are going to be fighting with Main Event Miku by your side, so win or lose, at least you got that going for you! In conclusion… I think you all suck… but I kinda need you.

Miku Sakai: ARE YOU WITH ME?!

(The room goes completely silent for a few seconds as Aria simply claps in the background to break the awkward silence. Miku’s expression quickly turns into a grumpy one as the lights go back to normal and both Miku and Aria go quickly to pick back up the set-up they put.)

Miku Sakai: Come on! I did all of that big speech! Made that bit about trying to run for presidency and not even one sound?! After that line you are supposed to say you are indeed with me, are you with me?!

(The room does not respond.)

Miku Sakai: Fuck it, awesome, I am fine enough with that, be prepared for the match or whatever!

Aria Lestrade: I think you did well, bestie!

Miku Sakai: Thanks, bestie.

(Aria and Miku quickly leave the locker room without turning the back as the camera pans towards Roberto, Luis and Brianna, as well as Elly Elle and Nikki Kimura all looking towards each other with the most confused expressions in their face they have ever had in their life as Showdown fades away from that scene.)

(In the backstage area, we find Mikaela Street knocking on the door of Bronson Daniels as she awaits for any sort of response. It takes a moment before he finally opens the door.)

Bronson Daniels: Mikaela, what’s up?

Mikaela Street: Could I get a quick word with you, Bronson?

Bronson Daniels: Yeah, sure.

(He tales a second and steps out of the locker room, closing the door behind him. Mikaela looks into the camera and smiles.)

Mikaela Street: Good evening EAW universe. You saw what happened last week when Bronson Daniels was named the third member of the Showdown Team War Games. This is a huge opportunity not only for you, but our General Manager, Kennedy Street flat out said that she wanted to put together the best teams to bring home the wins for the Blue Brand, that is why she picked long time roster member, Veena Adams, feeling as if she could trust her to choose the right team, and it will be her along with Universal Women’s Champion, Milli Banks and now my guest at this time, Bronson Daniels, the former EAW World Heavyweight Champion.

Bronson Daniels: Thank you, Mikaela.

Mikaela Street: Bronson, how does it feel being chosen to Team War Games?

(Bronson cracks a smile, nodding for a moment.)

Bronson Daniels: You know Mikaela, I’m not going to lie here. After Pain For Pride, I didn’t know where my place was in this world, lost even, and I let Dynasty down. I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, and to think that Tyrone Montgomery who was a very good General Manager had lost his job because of me and now Richard and Kensingten, everything that is wrong with this business and America are in charge because I lost to Methuselah, that hurts.

(Bronson pauses for a second.)

Bronson Daniels: But you need to see something here, Mikaela, what I didn’t. When one door closes, another opens, and I had no home, after the last three seasons, where Dynasty was my home. I didn’t know what was next, but one person took a chance on me with a top pick in the draft, her name was Kennedy Street. Look, I’m not her biggest fan but in the last few seasons, you have seen a woman that was once one of the most ruthless wrestlers in the world become a very smart and tactful manager. We have something in common, she is tired of Voltage and Dynasty always winning.

Mikaela Street: That may be true, but I think a lot of people forget that you started your career on Showdown and won your first championship here.

Bronson Daniels: I was… but it was different back then. Management was garbage, and I had the chance to really grow on my own while doing some pretty shitty things, but I learned from those mistakes, and it brought me to the World title. That is not the way it ended for me though, Mikaela, so when Kennedy brought me back home, I knew that was the lifeline I needed to get back on track. For the last six weeks all I have thought about is opportunities and all I wanted was a chance to do whatever it takes to get some of that back, now I have it.

(Mikaela nods as she continues on with her next question.)

Mikaela Street: With you teaming up with good friend, Milli Banks, and now with the fastest rising star in the EAW, Veena Adams, you are in a really good place, some say this is the strongest team Showdown has put together in a very long time. With Dynasty having the regrouping of New Eden even if it is for one night, or whatever team Voltage throws at us, how do you feel about your chances?

Bronson Daniels: I love this team, and the opportunity to get back at what Dynasty and both Richard and Kensi did to me, Mikaela, and I promise you, Milli, Veena, the entire Showdown locker room, and anyone at the sound of my voice, that I will NOT squander this opportunity, and I will bring home the win with my team at Territorial Invasion.

(As Mikaela smiles, Bronson puts his arm around her.)

Bronson Daniels: But now I gotta go.

(She nods as Bronson heads back into the locker room.)

Mikaela Street: Okay, and thank you, Bronson. You heard it from him, himself, ready, excited and looking to get a little payback at Dynasty. Let’s go down to the ring with Gina Romano as she is ready to introduce the next match.

(The scene shifts to Gina Romano ready to announce the participants of the next contest.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Singles Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

(‘GOSSIP’ by Maneskin can be heard being played throughout the arena as the fans start to boo loudly before both Aria Lestrade comes out being accompanied by Miku Sakai as they make their way down to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first… From Chandler , Arizona… Weighing in at 110 lbs… Being accompanied by Miku Sakai… She is “THE PARIAH”… ARIAAAAAAAAAA LESTRADEEEEEEEE!!!

(As Aria Lestrade finally makes her way inside the ring, her theme song is quickly replaced by ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé as Kassidy Heart who’s being accompanied by Sienna Jade slowly come out with the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships around their waist as some of the fans booing previously start cheering as both women start to head towards the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent… From Sydney, Australia… Weighing in at 141 lbs… Being accompanied by one half of the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, Sienna Jade… She is one half of the EAA Unified Tag Team Champion… She is “THE MAULER”…. KASSIDYYYYYYY HEARTTTTTT!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding)

Deadprez: We are on the way as both Kassidy Heart and Aria Lestrade slowly approach each other as Kassidy is quick with a Headlock Takedown that sends Aria down onto the mat! Aria though not letting that keep her too long uses her agility to kip-up before the lock is put in any tighter as both Kassidy and Aria are back onto their feet as Aria tries to go for a Superkick, but Kassidy was more than ready as she grabs the leg before turning Aria around for a German Suplex that keeps Aria Lestrade down for a bit!

Eve: A bit is all “The Mauler” needs Prezzy as she’s an expert in not just receiving pain but also dishing it out! Kassidy Heart grabs onto Aria’s right leg as she starts to slowly bend it before STOMPING on it! Kassidy continues to stomp on the bent leg for a few more moments before letting go of it and dropping a vicious Elbow Drop on it before Kassidy slowly starts to pull Aria back onto her feet by her hair… The referee starts telling Kassidy to let go of the hair as she does after a bit leaving Aria Lestrade trying to stand on her leg as Kassidy comes from behind as she goes for another German Suplex- Aria able to escape at the last minute as she lands on her feet, but that right leg that was targeted slightly buckles slowing her enough for Kassidy to turn around and go for a clothesline- That Aria ducks under in quick fashion as she’s back in the game! 

Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai is seen on the outside cheering on Aria Lestrade as she doesn’t let time go to waste quickly grabbing Kassidy from behind for a Backstabber! The knees connect to the back as Aria Lestrade is now on the offense here tonight, but she’s not done as she’s continuing to showcase her speed and agility here tonight by running towards the ropes and using them to execute a beautiful Springboard Moonsault from the second rope to the equally as beautiful Kassidy Heart! Aria starts to drag Kassidy close and closer to the corner as Aria positions Kassidy down on a seated position. Aria takes a few steps back as she starts speeding her way towards Kassidy Heart as Aria just hits Kass with a devastating Cannonball Senton! Aria pushes Kassidy away from the corner, slightly moves her a bit farther, and starts to climb to the very top…

Deadprez: Looks like Aria is looking for some high flying action here tonight as she is at the very top and she takes a dive looking for a Frog Splash on Kassidy Heart as she lands it effo- Kassidy had her knees ready as Aria lands directly on them before Kassidy slowly pushes Aria Lestrade away from herself and starts to get back up to her feet. She grabs Aria from her head as slowly she picks up Aria back onto her feet before a quick face rake to keep her dazed and confused! The referee just glares at Kassidy Heart for a quick second before Kass glares back and puts him in his place! Quickly, Kass grabs Aria Lestrade and Irish Whips her to the upper left turnbuckle as she starts heading that way as soon as Aria hits the turnbuckle greeting her with a Step-Up Enziguri! Kassidy throws Aria down onto the mat before she starts to take the climb to the very top. Kassidy now takes a dive from the top and…

Eve: The Diving Fist Drop connects directly on Aria’s face as Kassidy Heart gets up and starts to try and pick up Aria from a wheelbarrow position… Seems she’s looking to connect with her “33” Suplex De La Luna as Aria Lestrade goes up and… Aria is able to reverse it into a quick bulldog using the momentum from Kassidy picking her up to execute this beautiful reversal! Aria is back up after a kip-up as she’s not going to waste any time, quickly heading to the outer side of the apron, grabbing onto the ropes, and goes for a Springboard 450 Splash landing it perfectly! Aria grabs her abdomen area a bit after that landing as Kassidy Heart’s knees being up a while back have clearly taken a bit of a toll on Aria… Aria Lestrade though not letting that hinder her for too long as she gets back up and starts to pick up Kassidy Heart as well and positions her close to the corner before taking a few steps back. Aria Lestrade uses her speed and agility here to connect with a HUGE Shotgun Dropkick that sends Kassidy Heart right onto the bottom right turnbuckle, but she’s able to keep herself up by grabbing onto the ropes.

Gavin Kirkland: That’s a strong grip right there but should we expect less from Kassidy?

Eve: You’re an absolute pig.

Gavin Kirkland: Apparently people don’t realize strong men and women have strong grips in their hands nowadays… The matrix has gotten them, but I will not take more attention away from the always so beautiful Kassidy Heart and Aria Lestrade as Aria wants to make sure Kassidy goes down on that mat as she runs towards Kassidy Heart who’s still in the corner as Aria connects with a Big Boot to Kassidy that finally makes her lose her grip as she falls down onto the mat! Aria has an opportunity to change the playing field to her advantage right here as she once again starts to climb to the very top and quickly goes for a Frog Splash on the downed Kassidy Heart! Not so fast as once again Kassidy was more than prepared, but it seems Aria was too as she used her agility to land safely enough to prevent the knees from connecting again, but Kassidy Heart not letting anytime waste as she quickly gets up enough to connect with an Arm Drag that sends Aria to the other side of the ring as it allows Kassidy Heart to fully get back up! 

Deadprez: Kass is back in the game as she starts to try and approach the downed Aria, but Miku Sakai tries to pull Aria Lestrade out of the ring, but Sienna Jade is ready to help her bestie out as she yells at the referee to keep a watch on Miku Sakai. The referee turns around and quickly Miku let’s go of Aria as she starts playing innocent, Kassidy Heart uses this to her advantage as she starts to once again pull Aria Lestrade back onto her feet from her hair before biting Aria’s shoulder blade for a bit before the referee regains his focus on the match itself. The damage has already been done though and it looks like Kassidy is going to keep it going as she starts to set up Aria for a taste of her own medicine as she places Aria near the bottom right corner, takes a few steps back, and hits her own Shotgun Dropkick on Aria that sends her straight onto the turnbuckle and down to the ring mat! Seems Kassidy wants to give that “33” Suplex De La Luna another go as she sets up Aria in a wheelbarrow position, picks her up, and SLAMS her down to the ring mat as she quickly goes for a bridge style cover! The referee is now checking on the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Referee: THRE-!!!

Eve: Aria is able to get the shoulder up at a two count with Kassidy Heart looking down at her with a very sinister smirk before getting back up and slowly picking up Aria Lestrade. She tosses her to the nearest turnbuckle before taking a few steps back… We might be seeing a big move here from Kass as she starts running towards Aria’s direction… Kassidy is looking to connect with “Rapture” as the Helluva Kick looks to connect! NOT CLOSE ENOUGH THOUGH AS MIKU WAS ABLE TO WARN ARIA AT THE LAST SECOND WHICH ARIA LESTRADE USES TO HER ADVANTAGE BY USING THE FOOT STILL ON THE MAT TO ROLLS UP KASSIDY HEART REAL QUICK AS THE REFEREE CHECKS THE COUNT!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOO-!!!

Eve: A kick out before the two as that move isn’t going to catch a veteran of Kassidy’s talent off guard, but both elitists are back on their feet while Sienna Jade and Miku Sakai are outside staring daggers at each other after the stunt Miku pulled off that saved Aria Lestrade from getting hit with the “Rapture” Helluva Kick. Though on the inside Kassidy Heart tries to once again go for a Clothesline to take down Aria Lestrade, yet the speed and agility that Aria posses helps her to once again dodge out of the way quickly going for a Reverse Hurricanrana on Kassidy which is not going to do her any favors in the CTE department, but Kassidy isn’t fully down, she’s seen slowly getting up kneeling with a sinister smile on her face almost like she’s asking for more… Aria seems willing to oblige as she starts to run towards the opposite end of the ring, uses the ropes for a rebound, and with the momentum from the rebound she is able to connect with a Shining Wizard that lays out Kassidy Heart onto the ring mat! Looks like Aria believes a third time’s the charm as once again she goes to the top rope and quickly takes a dive looking for a Frog Splash… 

Gavin Kirkland: ARIA IS ABLE TO FINALLY CONNECT WITH THE FROG SPLASH AS SHE QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!!! THE REFEREE NOW CHECKING THE COVER AS HE STARTS THE COUNT!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Referee: TH-!!!

Gavin Kirkland: A kick out at two from Kassidy Heart, I mean it’s expected she’s not just the hottest elitits in EAW, but she is one of the absolute best! Aria Lestrade wants to end this match sooner rather than later though as she starts to yell for Kassidy Heart to get back up… Kassidy slowly starts getting up, using the ropes for a bit of support as she turns around and is met with a… “Zircon Cutter” as The Cutter conn- KASSIDY ABLE TO PUSH ARIA AWAY FROM HER CAUSING ARIA TO LAND BACK FIRST AS KASSIDY SMIRKS CLEARLY PLAYING POSSUM SHOWCASING WHY EXACTLY SHE ISN’T ONLY ONE HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, BUT THE BEST TO EVER DO IT INSIDE THIS RING AS WELL! Aria slowly starts getting back up grabbing her back a bit as she turns around just to be greeted by Kassidy Heart who strikes Aria down with a stiff Back Elbow right to the face causing Aria to stumble down to a knee. Kassidy now runs the ropes, rebounds off them, and with a stiff Knee Strike she’s able to lay out Aria Lestrade down on the mat once again.

Eve: I think Aria may be completely out of it, but knowing Kass… It’s clear she’s going to continue putting in the hurt on Aria till the match is called off completely. Kassidy approaches the downed Aria as she quickly grabs her right leg, turns her around, and hooks Aria into a Single Leg Boston Crab! Kassidy tightens the submission hold on the leg she targeted earlier in the match as Aria is clearly in pain while Miku Sakai is trying her hardest to find a way to help her friend… Yet, there seems to be no escape for Aria Lestrade as Kassidy Heart isn’t looking like she’s going to let go of the hold anytime soon! Aria is trying her hardest to crawl towards the ropes, but Kassidy Heart slowly pulls her away from the ropes as the pain can clearly be seen from Aria’s facial expressions. Kassidy tries to adjust from a Single Leg Boston Crab to a regular Boston Crab submission hold, but this give Aria the opportunity she needs to use her adrenaline from the adrenaline reservoir to give herself the strength needed to stop Kass from being able to make the switch as she kicks her right on the jaw causing her to stumble a bit back and letting go of Aria in the process…

Gavin Kirkland: Aria quickly rolls out of the ring now as she starts to regroup with Miku Sakai. Miku is hyping up Aria before she notices Kassidy Heart running the ropes attempting to go for a sort of dive, but Aria quickly makes her way back inside the ring to intercept the dive attempt by connecting with a beautiful Spanish Fly out of nowhere! I am surprised that right leg hasn’t given out just yet, but the longer this match goes the more likely that leg is going to be a hindrance to her. If I was Aria Lestrade I would just let the GORGEOUS queen Kassidy Heart win, but if she wants to be stubborn I suggest she gets this match finished sooner rather than later. Slowly but surely, Aria Lestrade is able to get back up to her feet, runs the ropes for momentum, and is able to connect with a flawless Running Shooting Star Press on Kassidy Heart. Pulling Kassidy Heart back up slowly from her hair, Aria starts to set Kassidy up for something, she puts her up on her shoulders, puts her arms around her legs, and SHE CONNECTS WITH “GLITCH IN THE MATRIX”!!! THE BELLY-TO-BACK INVERTED MAT SLAM CONNECTS AS ARIA QUICKLY ROLLS OVER INTO A PINNING POSITION AS THE REFEREE CHECKS FOR THE COVER!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Referee: THR-!!!

Deadprez: A KICK OUT FROM KASSIDY HEART AFTER A NASTY SIGNATURE MOVE FROM ARIA LESTRADE!!! WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE TO PUT ANY OF THESE TWO LADIES DOWN?!? OH BABY WE SEEING A REAL GRAPFEST HERE TONIGHT, BUT ONLY ONE OF THESE TWO LADIES WILL BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THAT DUBYA!!! Aria though is looking for that one last move to end the match for good as she starts heading towards the nearest corner waiting for Kassidy Heart to get back up. Kassidy is slowly getting back to her feet while it is clear that Aria is looking to connect with her “God Shattering Star” move as Kassidy is fully up on her feet and Aria starts running as she sets up to connect with a Running Knee Strike…

Eve: Aria’s right leg gave up on her half way as she falls to a knee! I hate to say it, but Gavin was right about that leg becoming a hindrance to Aria the longer this match goes and clearly it has… Kassidy Heart though not letting this opportunity go to waste however as she quickly capitalizes by taking down Aria with a VICIOUS Clothesline that is finally able to connect! It seems that the beginning of the end is nearing us folks as Kassidy Heart is locked in, not wasting any valuable time as she picks up Aria by her head before Irish Whipping her to the other side of the ring while she runs the ropes from the opposite end… As both elitists rebound from the ropes, they are close to meeting in the middle, and Kassidy Heart connects with “Go To Gawd” as the tribute spear from Kass connects here tonight! Aria may be needing a miracle here tonight folks as Kassidy Heart is already focused on the finishing line… Kass approaches the bottom half of Aria Lestrade’s and positions her for “XoXo Kass” as Kassidy is able to hook in the Figure Eight Leg Lock on poor Aria! That right leg of hers is done for if Kassidy is able to keep that lock in tightly and it seems like that is Kassidy’s intention! Aria is clearly in extreme pain as she tries to extend her arms toward the closest rope, but it seems she’s a few inches short from safety as it is clear that a few more seconds of being in this submission hold will be all this match rode… Aria now raising both her arms as she tries to stretch them as far as she can, but it looks like Aria is looking to not grab the ropes but give up as shes looking to tap out here tonight…

Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SAKAI SEES THE REFEREE FOCUSED ON THE SUBMISSION HOLD AS SHE PUSHES THE ROPES CLOSER TO ARIA AS SHE GRABS THEM AS MIKU STARTS TO YELL AT THE REFEREE ABOUT THE ROPE BREAK! SIENNA JADE IS NOT HAPPY ONE BIT AS SHE QUICKLY HEADS TOWARDS MIKU SAKAI AND TAKES HER DOWN AS SIENNA JADE STARTS TO BEAT MIKU SAKAI DOWN! The referee though calls for the rope break as Kassidy Heart is forced to let go of the submission hold. Aria pulls herself to the outer side of the ring apron before slowly getting up… Kassidy tries to take her down, but using the ropes for support, Aria is able to connect with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Aria struggles a bit to get back up after that Powerbomb, but she is still fighting through the pain as she goes for a Standing Moonsault on Kassidy Heart as it connects effortlessly! It seems this extra shot of adrenaline of sorts is getting Aria back in this match as she starts to slowly pick up Kassidy Heart and while she struggles to pick her up… Aria once again has Kassidy Heart on her shoulders… I think it’s time to consider that Aria Lestrade might be getting this win tonight…

Deadprez: Aria continues to set up for “Glitch In The Matrix”, but as she is able to position Kassidy Heart into the Belly-To-Back Inverted Mat Slam position, Kassidy Heart is able to use that momentum against Aria Lestrade to connect with “NORVINA LIGHTS” AS THE SPIKED HURRICANRANA SIGNATURE MOVE CONNECTS AND KASSIDY SPIKES ARIA’S HEAD RIGHT ON THE MAT! KASS ISN’T DONE JUST YET THOUGH AS SHE QUICKLY PULLS ARIA BACK UP ON HER FEET AND HOOKS IN THE “NECRO MAULER” AS SHE HOOKS IN THE SUBMISSION HOLD AND QUICKLY AFTER SINKS HER TEETH ON THE BACK OF THE NECK OF ARIA! I DON’T THINK ARIA LESTRADE IS EVEN CONSCIOUS AS HER BODY HAS COMPLETELY GONE SLUMPED!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner by submission… She is… “THE MAULER”… KASSIDYYYYYYYY HEARTTTTT!!!

Eve: Now that right there is as vicious as it can get. Kassidy showed absolutely no mercy here tonight and maybe this may be a lesson to both Miku Sakai and Aria Lestrade to not mess with The Jaded Hearts.

Gavin Kirkland: Aria went all out though as she was able to go head to head with Kassidy Heart and make this an even bout even if Aria had some little help outside from Miku Sakai but that seems like fair game!

Deadprez: Not when the other side’s manager kept things civil buddy. Sienna Jade was making sure her best friend wasn’t screwed by shenanigans and clearly she succeeded as Kassidy Heart walks out with the win tonight while Aria and Miku might have to regroup after this.

(The last shot shown is of Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade walking to the back celebrating with their EAW Unified Tag Team Championship around their waist while Miku Sakai is seen inside the ring still hurt trying to help Aria Lestrade back up before the scene fades to elsewhere.)

[SCREEN BAR – SOMEWHERE IN AUCKLAND]

(Showdown slowly faded away from the arena and towards a completely new different place right now, it was a random park where everyone was just hanging out and having fun, kids running around at the playground, people walking their dogs and everyone talking and generally having a good time… before the camera then panned over to 5 people in particular looking like idiots.)

(Jon Kelton, Cody Maverick, Donovan Duke and SOSA Henderson were all sat on a bench together wearing helmets and all of them being forced to hold cricket bats on their hands as Charlie Marr was pacing around with an uncharastically happy smile on his face as the first person that decided to break the ice was Cody Maverick.)

Cody Maverick: Charlie, what the fuck is this?

Charlie Marr: Hey, let’s calm the fuck down, no swearing so early in the day, we are heading into a gentleman’s game right now.

SOSA Henderson: Do you SEE who you have brought to this shit? Ain’t nobody a gentleman here.

Donovan Duke: :mjgrin:

SOSA Henderson: Shutcho your whole ass up.

Donovan Duke: Funny, the same could be said to you every time that you end up opening your mouth.

Charlie Marr: Jesus Christ, I am not going to deal with any of you bickering right off the bat, no pun intended, I just want you to listen to me here and get my instructions clear, alright? You know what we are doing here today?

Jon Kelton: Looking like idiots in the middle of the morning?

Charlie Marr: No, you already look like idiots almost everyday- Sorry, I am not used to being nice to other people for long. Anyway, as the team captain of this team that I have assembled, I want all of you to concentrate on the match that we have coming up, because I will straight up tell you without any fear… Showdown fucking sucks, it has literally never won a Brand Warfare match in years, what the hell has everyone done being in charge of those teams? Trick question, I don’t even REMEMBER who the fuck were the team captains of any of those teams, I don’t give a fuck about any of them, they were probably trash if we are being honest! Me? I am not, that is why me and the sexy and beautiful woman that I like to call the love of my life are going to finally give Showdown the win that they actually need to show they are not losers.

Charlie Marr: I was able to captain a team before and win and let me tell you, I am going to do it again! And the best part about it, I have the chance to improvise on my strategy, improvise on what has happened, and you know what I ended up forgetting to do last time? Some goddamn team building, that is what we are about to do today!

Cody Maverick: And we are about to do that today… playing what?

Charlie Marr: Cricket.

SOSA Henderson: What the fuck is Cricket?

Donovan Duke: It is basically baseball but European.

Charlie Marr: Ok, now hold off on that-

Jon Kelton: Your idea of team building is making us play a rip-off of baseball?

Charlie Marr: Okay now first of all, cricket was invented first, read a fucking book, and second of all, sure, if that is how is going to get you to play better then yeah, you can say that cricket is somewhat similar to baseball, there are just some key differences to it that I gotta tell you-

(Suddenly, at the worst time before Charlie can say anything else, he turns towards other people calling out to him, it was the other team that they were going to face in Cricket. Charlie simply waved at them to come over and get everything set up as he turned back towards the rest of the guys.)

Charlie Marr: Ah well, whatever, you all will be able to end up figuring out as you play along, let’s go!

(The five of them then go over to get ready as well, everything is set up and go towards one of the fields, even though you should expect everyone to organize around like an actual baseball formation, surprisingly not, there were no straight lines to guide you around towards the bases, it was just a gigantic circle and a rectangle full of sand where the striker and the one throwing the ball duked it out. This whole layout confused the Brand Warfare team except Charlie of course.)

SOSA Henderson: Bitch, we playing Squid Game or something? What the fuck is all of this?

Charlie Marr: Okay, if you all REALLY want an actual demonstration on how this is going to be played out, then let the master himself do this.

(Charlie moves over towards the striker spot, grabbing his cricket bat and getting ready to bat here. The one who throws the ball, also called as the bowler, moves over to throw the ball with precision! But Charlie is able to hit it off and as soon as he moves to take one step towards the other side of the rectangle… he immediately stops seeing one of the opposite team caught his ball, and he is out for the inning.)

Charlie Marr: Bollocks.

(The next person to go is none other than Jon Kelton himself, Kelton grabs tightly the cricket bat and waits for the other person to throw the ball at him, he moved and he was able to hit the ball as Kelton suddenly started sprinting and running as fast as he could, going in a triangle formation before arriving back to his spot, celebrating like he won the world championship. And he just then realizes the opposing team is looking at him weird while Charlie facepalms.)

Charlie Marr: Damn it Kelton, you are SUPPOSED to run from one point of the rectangle to the other, not run around like it is a triangle in baseball!

Jon Kelton: You literally said it was the same as baseball!

Charlie Marr: With SOME differences, I quite literally said it!

(A few minutes later as they change positions on who goes and catches, Charlie moves carefully and throws the ball towards the striker, as the striker ends up striking it out and Charlie tries to rush while the other person runs, the ball is struck and it goes into the direction of Donovan… but he is distracted by a cute dog that he ends up petting and the ball goes flying while the striker reaches the other end of the rectangle and gets a point for their team.)

Donovan Duke: Oh, sorry guys! I will catch that one later next time!

(Everyone facepalms. They go back to striking position as it was Cody’s turn next, good news, in this game they had 6 attempts to strike, bad news, he is still not sure what those three small poles connected together behind the striker are supposed to be about, apparently it is called a wicket or something. Cody moves ready to strike the ball but the bowler throws a curveball, as Cody misses and the ball ends up hitting the wicket instead! Cody ignores it and he is ready to strike a second time, but the opposing team suddenly tells him he is out.)

Cody Maverick: Huh? I still got 5 more tries to strike!

Captain of the Opposing Team: If the ball hits the wicket and it gets knocked down, the striker is out.

Cody Maverick: Wha- What kind of rule is that?! Charlie, why did you not tell us that?

Charlie Marr: Told you the master would show you how it works I just… haven’t had time for that yet!

Cody Maverick: This is some bullshit!

(After several minutes of the Brand Warfare team failing a lot in striking or catching balls, they were basically on the final inning by this point and they were down 0… by 8. Morale was low by this point and it was time for SOSA’s turn to strike as a smile crept up on his face.)

SOSA Henderson: I know how to win this now, follow my lead. I got this.

(SOSA moves over towards the spot of the striker, grabbing tightly the cricket bat and waiting patiently, because as soon as the bowler goes to throw the ball-)

(SOSA THROWS THE CRICKET BAT RIGHT AT THE GUY’S FACE!)

(SOSA RUNS FORWARD AND JUMPS ONTO THE OTHER GUY, THROWING STRIKES DOWN AT THE BOWLER AS THE REST OF HIS TEAMMATES RUSH OVER TO HELP HIM!)

(The Brand Warfare team just looks at each other in pure confusion but they immediately run forward to help out SOSA! Donovan, Cody and Kelton jumping over onto the rest of the opposing team and delivering them an ass whooping they will never forget! Of course when it comes to fighting, all of them are able to pretty much kick their ass as Charlie delivers one last punch to the team captain and all of the cricket players are laying down on the ground.)

SOSA Henderson: See? We won!

(Charlie looks at what they have done for a moment, putting his hand on his chin before nodding along.)

Charlie Marr: Yeah, you know what? This is a good first step!

(Charlie feels like that has been good enough for team building considering they beat those cricket players as a team so he turns around and he leaves with the rest of the Brand Warfare team as Showdown fades away from that scene to the ring and Gina Romano ready to announce the participants to the next match.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Peligro’ by Peso Pluma plays and each member of La Familia steps up. Luis Del La Rosa and Roberto Del La Rosa! Looking from on top of the stage, like they were observing what was there and begin to walk down to the ring.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, the team of ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND LUIS DE LA ROSA! ¡LA FAMILIA!

(“Prices” by Lil Uzi Vert began to replace La Familia music, he stood on stage for a moment as soon as he walked out, he took in the crowd and then directed his focus to his opponent in the ring. “My Way” by Limp Bizkit plays right after, to a largely positive reaction from fans, as Ryan Wilson makes his way to the ring, fired up. Ryan high-fives a few fans while sauntering down the ramp, but once he gets to the end, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath before heading to the steel steps.)

Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS, the team of RYAN WILSON AND THE RULER OF EVERYTHING!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: Tag Team match underway; La Familia’s Roberto and Luis De La Rosa take on Ryan Wilson and Ruler. On top of that, our World Champion TLA and Harper Lee are at ringside watching the action. Luis and Roberto are certainly willing to do whatever they can to win, but I can’t imagine Ryan Wilson and Ruler getting along—

TAG!

Eve: Well Ruler just tagged himself in as Ryan was ready to get right to business against Luis! Ryan stares at Ruler and the two don’t say any words, but the tension is clear as day. Ryan’s expression quickly changes to anger as he exits out the ring, and here comes Luis charging out of the corner to take advantage! But Ruler telegraphs it and sends him into the turnbuckles! He bounces out and he starts drilling him with elbow smashes! Nasty elbows from Ruler! He’s really taking it to him too! Roberto is trying his hardest to get Luis’s head back in the game here but each elbow just continues to land with nasty precision!

Deadprez: Finally, Luis shoves him off! He swings a lariat, but he ducks under, taking the arm and twirling under into an arm wringer. He then snaps a wrist lock, kicking him to a kneel. Luis grits his teeth…then he spins into an elbow to the arm! Luis winces out in pain, and Ruler takes the ropes, irish whipping him off, no! Luis reverses it! He bounces off the ropes, tensing up as Luis cracks him with a dropkick!

Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely drilled him there! Ruler rolls to his feet and Luis catches him with a punch to the ribs, and takes the head. He hoists him up for a gourdbuster, dropping him right onto his torso! Ruler holds her body, wincing out in pain. He slowly rises up and as he’s hunched over, Luis raises his head up with an up-kick to the jaw! Ruler staggers, and Luis hits off the ropes! BUT RULER IS LYING IN WAIT AND RUNS BEHIND HIM, SLIDING OUT OF THE RING TO TRIP HIM ONTO HIS FACE! Incredible in-ring awareness by Ruler!

Eve: He drags him out right after! Ruler clubs down on the back of Luis outside the ring, and he’s forced to cover up! Ryan is watching on the apron, certainly not impressed and waiting for a moment to throw this back in Ruler’s face…AND IT MAY HAVE JUST COME AS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA HAS SEEN ENOUGH, RUNNING UP THE STEPS AND DIVING RIGHT ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING RULER! Roberto helps Luis up and now the two are beating down on Ruler at ringside against the referee’s attempts to try and get Roberto to his corner! Meanwhile, Ryan’s doing absolutely nothing about it!

Deadprez: Why would he?! Ruler questioned his capabilities under these exact circumstances and refused to let him work! Luis slides back in, having a heated back and forth discussion with the official who clearly wants Roberto back in his corner and out of this! But all it’s doing is serving as further distraction for Roberto to continue beating him down on the floor! Roberto yanks Ruler up– BACK SUPLEX ON THE APRON! HE HOLDS HIM THERE AS LUIS BRUSHES PAST THE REFEREE AND TAKES THE ROPES…SLINGSHOT SENTON ON THE APRON FROM LUIS! GOODNESS! RULER YELLS OUT, HOLDING HIS RIBS IN AGONY! Luis shoves him in and slides in…

Gavin Kirkland: Whilst Roberto has moved back over to his corner, Luis has a huge grin on his face as he makes the first cover of this match!

ONE!

TWO!!

Eve: Far from enough, Ruler kicks out! But the damage has certainly been done! Luis drags Ruler up and starts abusing him with nasty knees to the ribs. He shoves him to the ropes and irish whips him off…he follows it up with a kitchen sink! Ruler gets sent flying overhead as he coughs out, gasping for air. Luis yanks him up by the hair and throws him into their corner, tagging in Roberto. Roberto climbs the top rope, directing traffic for Luis. Luis turns Ruler and lays him onto the bottom rope, hovering him body above the ring… AND ROBERTO FLIES INTO A SWANTON BOMB!

Deadprez: That was beautiful! Ruler’s ribs are taking a beating! Roberto steps out and Roberto moves him from the ropes, hooking the legs for another cover!

ONE!

TWO!!

Deadprez: RULER KICKS OUT YET AGAIN! He rolls over, gritting his teeth. He tries to pull himself back up, but Roberto isn’t having any of it. He kicks him in the side of the head, dropping him down. Does nothing to stop him, though! Ruler has suffered from worse and he again begins to pull himself back up. Roberto shakes his head and hits off the ropes, looking for a punt kick to the ribs- RULER CATCHES HIM BY THE ANKLE! ROBERTO HOBBLES ON ONE LEG, TRYING TO GET FREE! HE THROWS HIM WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP! ROBERTO FALLS OVER, HOLDING THE KNEE! HE LIMPS TO THE CORNER AND HE DROPS HIM TO A SEATED POSITION WITH A DROPKICK TO THE LEG!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto is now clutching at his leg, whilst Ruler holds at his ribs and hits off the corner! He charges back in, with a HUGE METEORA! He throws Roberto out of the corner, taking a deep breath. Roberto holds his chest, wheezing out. Ruler takes the ropes and begins to contemplate climbing up…BUT LUIS RUSHES OVER, HOLDING ONTO HIS WRIST! Ruler is struggling, trying to get free! Luis tries to climb up, but Ruler claws at his hands, and shoves him back to the apron and to the floor! Roberto is back up to his feet and rushes over, taking Ruler’s waist and rolling through with him, HOISTING HIM UP IN THE AIR FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!

Eve: I thought he was going to bridge it— but Roberto holds onto his waist and rolls him backwards to the turnbuckle, where he is trying to recover…BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE ROBERTO IS UP AND CHARGES IN WITH A FLYING CORNER KICK STRAIGHT TO THE JAW! Roberto throws Ruler to the center and hooks the legs for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!!

THR-

Deadprez: RYAN WILSON BREAKS THE PIN! RULER HAS TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE THAT COULD’VE BEEN A DIRE SITUATION BUT WE DON’T KNOW FOR CERTAIN! ALL WE KNOW IS RYAN WILSON HAS TAKEN MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS! Roberto rises to his feet, ecstatic to finally get back in there with Ryan Wilson! He swings for the fences and Ryan ducks under! He meets him with multiple jabs, and then a discus lariat! Ryan stares down at Ruler, taking him by the wrist and dragging him to the corner! He steps out and tags himself in. He nods, entering back in the ring!

Gavin Kirkland: Now here comes Luis, springboarding up to try and catch Ryan off guard! RYAN CATCHES HIM AND SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB! Luis rolls out, writhing his back in pain. Roberto is up to his feet and clobbers Ryan from behind! Ryan falls to the ropes, clutching his head as Roberto stomps him out over and over! Unrelenting from Roberto, who will do whatever it takes to get the victory! He drags Ryan up by the wrist for an irish whip, but Ryan reverses it! Ryan bounces off! SPINNING SCOOP SLAM FROM RYAN! Perfect execution there! Ryan rises to his feet and he’s feeling the energy now! Roberto holds his back, slowly rising up.. Roberto’s not finished, though! Kick to the gut, and a DDT spikes him into the canvas!

Eve: Ryan Wilson is certainly having his way with one of his challengers! Roberto has had enough of the abuse and he’s rolling to the ropes! Ryan’s taking in the reaction of the crowd but he finally turns back to see Roberto going to the apron! Ryan reaches over to grab Roberto– Roberto swats his hands away and slaps him to turn him! He takes the ropes, yanking him off the top rope with an inverted HOT SHOT! Ryan holds the back of his neck, wincing out in pain. He stumbles to the neutral side of ropes where neither corner is– BUT LUIS RISES UP ON THAT SIDE AND SMACKS RYAN WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! HE STUMBLES FORWARD!

Deadprez: AND ROBERTO COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT! RYAN WILSON GETS SPIKED ONTO HIS HEAD! RULER TRIES TO ENTER THE RING AND ROBERTO CRACKS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK TOO! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN WORKING LIKE A WELL OILED UNIT! RYAN IS DOWN AND OUT! ROBERTO CRAWLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREEE—

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN KICKS OUT! Roberto so close to getting the victory for his team, looking to Luis for some type is strategy and support. They are talking to each other, trying to come up with a plan- BUT LOOK! RULER JUST RAN UP RYAN’S BACK INTO A HUGE DROPKICK TO BOTH! ROBERTO FALLS OUT THE MIDDLE ROPE WHILE LUIS HITS THE CORNER! RYAN IS UP AND HE AND RULER BOTH NOD TO EACH OTHER! Ryan drags Luis up, taking him by the head! He hoists him up vertically! SNAP BRAINBUSTER! ROLLING HIM TO A SEATED POSITION…

Eve: RULER DIVES INTO A DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP! LUIS IS OUT COLD! RULER IS ABOUT TO GO FOR THE COVER– BUT RYAN STOPS HIM, REMINDING HIM THAT HE’S LEGAL! Muscle memory kicked in for Ruler and now he stares at Ryan, a bit frustrated… but understanding? Ryan walks over to make the pin, but RULER GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND AND TRIES TO THROW HIM TO THE CORNERS! Ryan saw it coming the moment he turned his back, and he reversed it, throwing him out of the ring instead! Ruler falls to the outside, holding his ankle! Ryan turns back to focus on Luis, this time…

Deadprez: BUT RULER WAS FEIGNING INJURY! HE HOPS BACK ONTO THE APRON AND TAGS HIMSELF IN! RYAN’S EYES WIDEN WHEN HE REALIZES WHAT HE JUST DID! HE TURNS BACK, SWINGING FOR HIM– LUIS DE LA ROSA CHARGES IN AT THE SAME TIME! LUIS DUCKS AND HE KNOCKS RULER OFF THE APRON! LUIS TURNS BACK TO RYAN… HE QUICKLY HOISTS HIM UP! SNAP SUPLEX! He threw that out of desperation and got it on Ryan when he wasn’t expecting it! Ryan rolls over, holding his back in pain! But it’s Ruler outside the ring that he needs to worry about!

Gavin Kirkland: Luis rolls out and picks Ruler up, throwing him into the ring. He slowly climbs onto the apron, nodding profusely. I think he wants the springboard attack- Springing over the top rope and RULER DUCKS RIGHT UNDER! Bouncing off the second of the rope with a KICK OFF THE SECOND ROPE! LUIS DE LA ROSA HITS THE CANVAS WITH THAT HARD THUD! Ruler is now looking to the outside as he sees everyone else wiped out besides him and Luis. Ruler is now looking to put this match away! Ruler is stalking Luis but you gotta think maybe, just maybe that Luis isn’t aware because Ruler is now looking to take his head off with a ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’- BUT LUIS DUCKS!

Eve: ‘TALON DE ÁGUILA’ WHAT A SAVE BY ROBERTO! HE IS NOW BACK IN THE MATCH AND HAS SAVED LUIS FROM GETTING HIS HEAD KICKED! But look at it, Luis is putting an arm around Ruler! LUIS IS LOOKING TO GET THE MATCH AFTER THE SPEAR FROM ROBERTO HIMSELF! 

ONE!

TWO!!

THREEE—

Eve: RULER KICKS OUT! JUST IN TIME! I could have sworn that they got to a three but it was just inches away from a victory! Luis and Roberto are shocked! 

Deadprez: Luis and Roberto are going to have to come up with a new plan, they might not get along but they certainly are resilient enough to give this team a fight- WAIT! HERE COMES RYAN WILSON! He is rising up as both men are distracted but they don’t see him using the top rope for support! LOOKING FOR AN AIR CRASHING LANDING MOONSAULT! MY GOD! WHAT DID WE JUST SEE FROM RYAN WILSON IN THIS MATCH! Ryan just took out Roberto and Luis from this match! He has to remember that Luis is the legal man in this match and I think Ryan realizes that now!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan is now picking up Luis and sliding him right back into the ring but he ain’t gonna let Ruler take this as he tags himself right back in! Luis is slowly pushing himself back up but Ryan himself is ready with a JAB! JAB! JAB! FOLLOWED UP WITH A DISCUSS LARIAT! RYAN WILSON STILL HAS AHOLD OF JORDAN THO! He is picking him back up looking for a high LEVEL VERTICAL SUPLEX! WAIT! LUIS IS NOT GOING DOWN LIKE WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD OF RYAN! Luis spins Ryan around with that strength up in the air! RYAN SPIKES HIM RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BRAINBUSTER! They are both now laid out on the mat, everybody is knocked out!

Eve: I think Luis is the only one who can capitalize right now, nobody else is really active and now that he has the opening which he has gotta close in on. Now you can see Luis slowly getting back up to his feet as he is in a drop zone. It looks like Luis is taking his time but he is wasting too much time! He is now placing his feet on the top ropes looking u- A SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP! RYAN WILSON SHOWING ON WHY HE IS THE TOP STAR OF SHOWDOWN!

Deadprez: LUIS DE LA ROSA HAS GOTTA BE DONE NOW! Ryan Wilson fought through the brainbuster and launched Luis from the top. I mean Ryan seems to have something going for him again but look, Roberto is back on the apron! Ryan picks Luis right back up to his feet as he gets him right in the corner and you know it’s best that Ruler is back up now with a tag! RYAN HELPING RULER WITH A ROLLING ELBOW TO THE FACE OF LUIS! Luis seemingly got tagged in by Roberto as he falls flat and rolls to the outside!

Gavin Kirkland: Roberto charging in with the intent to put Ruler out of his misery but he is scouting that miles away with a duck under. Ruler bounces off one side of the ropes and now Roberto comes in with a punch but Ruler ducks right under that one! He looks to bounce right off the other side! CROSSFACE LOCKED RIGHT IN! RULER HAS ROBERTO BACK IN LOTS OF TROUBLE! ROBERTO NEEDS TO DIG DEEP FOR THE ROPES! ROBERTO SEEMS TO BE GRABBING AT EVERYTHING! HE IS FIGHTING HIS WAY TOWARDS THAT ROPE BREAK BUT THE GRIP SEEMS TO BE GETTING TIGHTER!

Eve: ROBERTO GRABS THAT BOTTOM ROPE! HE GOT IT AND NOW THE REF IS FORCING RULER TO LET GO OF THE HOLD! Roberto had to use a lot for that push towards the ropes. Roberto is now trying to regain some of that energy by placing himself in the corner, I mean this could be a good way to regroup hi- RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! Roberto is now in all sorts of trouble as Ruler just grabs him by the hair and pulls him into the middle of the ring. Ruler is starting to pull back a little and measure up Roberto and you gotta think now that Roberto is having trouble finding himself now!

Deadprez: Roberto himself is now getting on all fours, he has to realize what is about to happen but, he may simply be out on his feet! Here comes Ruler, looking for ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’- BUT ROBERTO HAS IT SCOUTED, SHOVING RULER TOWARDS THE ROPES-! FOLLOW IT UP WITH A SECOND KICK TO THE JAW! ROBERTO’S RIGHT BACK IN IT AS NOW RULER MIGHT BE OUT ON HIS FEET! Roberto’s taking a moment, giving his body some time to recover while Ruler remains held up by the top rope. One snapmare takedown is all it takes to get Ruler to the ground!

Gavin Kirkland: Now Roberto takes all the time he needs, measuring his next move as he hits the ropes and SWINGS FOR THE FENCES WITH A PENALTY KICK TO RULER! RIGHT INTO THE COVER, ROBERTO FOLDS RULER UP FOR THE PINFALL, THIS COULD BE IT!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREEEEE-

Eve: RYAN FLY IN TO BREAK UP THE PINFALL! RULER MIGHT’VE BEEN ABLE TO KICK OUT THERE BUT NOW ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE IN THE RING! Roberto and Luis are able to recover rather quickly as Ruler rolls to the ropes, still out of it leaving Ryan Wilson on his own, isolated and left in a two on one! Ryan Wilson doesn’t look to be going down without a fight, trading strikes with Luis and Roberto, avoiding all he can and hitting as many open hands and forearms as he can muster!

Deadprez: But the numbers advantage is far too much! A thrown forearm is caught by Luis and a shoot kick to the side from Roberto has Ryan doubled over! Roberto grabs the head of Ryan Wilson, now looking to put him out for good-! WAIT RULER SNEAKS IN AND SHOVES RYAN, KNOCKING ROBERTO BACK INTO LUIS! LUIS FALLING OUT OF THE RING! Ryan getting out of the way and out of the way of Ruler- ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ TAKING ROBERTOS HEAD OFF! DROPPING HIM TO THE MAT AND GOING FOR A PIN!

ONE!

TWO!! 

THREE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

HERE IS YOUR WINNERS..RYAN WILSON & THE RULER OF EVERYTHING!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson and Ruler just barely able to pull through with a victory against La Familia, their disinterest with co-existing got in the way so many times. Luis and Roberto just needed to get one more big move to pull through with a victory.

Eve: Nothing but hard work from both parties- LOOK OUT! Harper Lee slamming a chair on the back of Ruler! Ryan turning around into a CHAIRSHOT TO THE HEAD! HARPER LEE SCREAMING AT THE TWO MEN! Standing tall with the chair in her hand-

Deadprez: BUT SHE SHOULDN’T BE TOO COMFORTABLE- ‘CARTEL KICK’ TAKING OUT HARPER LEE! TLA making a statement, grabbing Harper Lee and finishing her off with a ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’! HARPER LEE ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! TLA the last man standing in the ring, his Championship on his shoulder.

(The camera fades to a commercial ad for Territorial Invasion.)

(The camera returns and does a long shot following TLA as he makes his way back through the curtain and into the backstage area. TLA is hyped up as he briefly stops by a nearby security guard and fist bumps him as the guard gives him props for what just happened out in the ring.)

TLA: Orale muchachos that is what I am talking about cabron!

(TLA continues to make his way through the hallways as he passes back into the backstage hallway on the way back to his locker room. Suddenly Kyra Phillips is shown sprinting up to TLA at full speak.)

Kyra Phillips: Wait! TLA may I have a word with you?

(TLA turns around as he waits for Kyra to catch up with him.)

TLA: Si claro. Of course mami you know I got time for you. After what just happened out there it seems I got all the time in the world if ya feel me.

Kyra Phillips: That is what I wanted to ask you about. What the hell just happened out there?

TLA: I think it is pretty obvious what just happened out there. La Pantera Sexual went out there and he brought that fuego. Done did the shit I be known to do. I reminded every competitor in that lucha up at Territorial Invasion just who the Answers World Champion be. In case anybody done forgot.

Kyra Phillips: Well I think that they know now if they didn’t already. But do you think it is a wise decision to rile up your competition this close to Territorial Invasion.

TLA: I can think of no better time amiga! I am the clear Answers World Champion and I will prove it! This week, next week, at Territorial Invasion, after Territorial Invasion. It don’t matter! When TLA is in the building you gonna know that El Campeon is in the building and he running this shit. This is my time at the top of this company and I am going to make the most of it. Going to make this an era that ain’t nobody ever going to forget. It don’t matter if it is Harper Lee, if it is Ruler, if it is Ryan Wilson. I be comin’ for they asses and they thought that the Elimination part of this match began at Territorial Invasion but they was wrong. It done already started!

Kyra Phillips: At Territorial Invasion TLA you will be facing Harper Lee, Ruler, and Ryan Wilson in a Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match. Do you think that any of these challengers will be a challenge for you?

TLA: I ain’t going to lie whatsoever. I stay keeping it real with y’all. This will be a real challenge. I ain’t taking shit away from none of the opps. They can come for a vato neck but they gonna find it be a real challenge for they own selves if they think they bout to slice on through. I be doin’ them neck exercises remember? Big vato. Big neck game. Muy fuerte. I ain’t going to give none of them the satisfaction of telling them who is a bigger threat or who is going to be more challenging to deal with. Cuz I stay all up in they cabezas playing them mind games n shit. Let them fight among each other. Beefin’ like they do just tryna prove they own self to me. Tear each other apart and then yo boi roll through picking up the scraps and keeping hold on all that oro.

Kyra Phillips: Harper Lee has had a lot to say about this match and doesn’t seem to approve that this turned into a multi-man match.

TLA: Well that says it all don’t it Kyra? She wants a one on one match with yo boi? Por que? She can’t handle the heat? Can’t handle the pressure? Nah lemme be real. Harper should be glad that this is a Fatal 4 Way match because if it was just me in the ring with her then that would be yo boi doin’ some real savage type shit fucking her shit up. At least this way she got a chance have her go pin Ruler or some shit. Maybe she can do it. Maybe not. Maybe she doubting her chances. I ain’t doubting my chances tho. When I find out it is a Fatal 4 Way match I be like damn… that’s it? Why we not doing a Fatal 50 Way match? Do we even got 50 luchadores on the roster? I ain’t care. Bring em all in from the other brands too I’ll fight them too. Ain’t no thang.

Kyra Phillips: So do you think that Ruler will be eliminated in the match by you or Harper Lee?

TLA: I don’t even know. I ain’t know what Ruler gonna do. A mysterious type homie. Been up in that tag game for the longest. For too long. Who knows what he will do. Will he be rusty? Got a lot to prove? You ain’t even able to tell. He doing some dark magic rituals and self help shit. On that philosophy grind. You know that Ruler busting out all them big ass white boi palabras. Ain’t no telling what he going to say. Ain’t no telling what kind of demonic ass mask with horns n shit he going to wear to the ring. But imma rip that shit off. Collect it for my collection. Show Ruler he ain’t no god. Ain’t got none of that immortality. He out the tag game now but he going to find out with the quickness he has just walked right on into my game.

Kyra Phillips: And last but not least we have Ryan Wilson. Many people think that it is Ryan’s time to finally take the next step in his career and become the World Champion.

TLA: Many people for real. Y a mí también. But the problem is that Ryan tryna take the next step in he career… and he steppin’ to the Baddest Hombre on the Planet! When you taking that step you just gotta know that you steppin’ in the wrong direction. Walking right into the dark alley and you ain’t strapped. You finna be caught lackin’ when the eses come jumpin’ you. This ain’t Montreal no more we in some dangerous type country. Where we at again?

Kyra Phillips: New Zealand.

TLA: Nah never mind Canada rougher than that shit. Nah just fucking around I know there some bad motherfuckers out here in Auckland. They know that Ryan done pulled up. Wrong time! Wrong place! Wrong vato! Just like all the others they going to learn that if they want a piece of TLA, I ain’t hard to find! But it ain’t they time. This my time. This my era. This my championship. And at Territorial Invasion? It gonna be my W!

Kyra Phillips: Thank you for your time TLA. Now you should probably get out of here before one of them comes back here and starts something.

TLA: The show is over! Gotta go home! Wait no stay for the Veena vs. Sienna match. It’s some good shit. ¡Dos reinas luchando! ¡Vamonos!

(TLA is shown grabbing his championship and barging out of a side exit as he makes his way out of the arena.)

(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Justin Windgate’s new career as a professional bowler.)

(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing as she is ready to begin the introductions for tonight’s main event!)

Gina Romano: The following contest is a special CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION SHOWCASE MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts playing as the National Elite Champion Veena enters the arena. The more negative reaction gets more positive as she is accompanied by the Universal Women’s Champion Milli Banks. Veena looks ready for action as the duo heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring! Being accompanied to the ring by the Universal Women’s Champion, Milli Banks! From Greenwich, Connecticut! Weighing 137 pounds. Here is the EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! “THE GOLDEN STAR” VEENA ADAMS!

Deadprez: Here comes the National Elite Champion for singles action, but she is not coming alone as she is coming to the ring with her War Games teammate in Milli Banks.

Gavin Kirkland: I am glad she did. Do you know what is better than one beautiful lady coming to the ring? TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!! YIPPEE!!

Eve: You’re like a creepy guy in a candy store. Anyways, Veena found her final War Games teammate last week. It’s a formidable trio indeed. Tonight, Veena is looking to gain some momentum as she heads towards Territorial Invasion. Her opponent? Gonna be a tough road for Veena.

(The lights begin to flash as ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nutz begins to blast all throughout the arena as the boos get louder from the crowd. A few moments pass as Sienna Jade emerges with Kassidy Heart following behind her as she poses for the camera. Sienna then turns around and shows off her leather jacket with the letters, “UNFUCKWITHABLE” attached. She turns and begins to stride down the ramp with Kassidy, towards the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! Accompanied to the ring by one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Kassidy Heart! Residing in Seattle, Washington! Weighing 135 pounds. Here is THE OTHER HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! “THE GREATEST” SIENNA JADE!

Gavin Kirkland: WOOHOOOO! The most beautiful women in EAW are coming to the ring and I couldn’t be happier! I LOVE SHOWDOWN!! 

Eve: You’re sickening. But what wasn’t sickening was what they said last week about building their legacy. They said they could go after any title they wanted. Could Veena be the next victim to the Jaded Hearts?

Deadprez: After Dynasty and earlier tonight, the Jaded Hearts look like they are on their way to a battle with Fire and Ice at Territorial Invasion. Tonight, Sienna is in singles action against the National Elite Champion? Who will win? We are about to find out. 

(Once in the ring, Sienna goes to the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more as Kassidy takes her place at ringside. Both ladies shoot glares at Veena and Milli as Sienna’s entrance music fades off. The referee then checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: Here we go! Our main event is underway as we have two of Showdown’s champions battling it out for momentum and in ring superiority as we head towards Territorial Invasion.

Deadprez: Both ladies meet up in the center of the ring and it looks like we are going to have a lockup BUT VEENA ADAMS WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE! THERE WAS SOME ANGER BEHIND THAT SLAP!

Gavin Kirkland: There was no need to do that? Why would Veena do something like that to Sienna? Can we make it a rule that these ladies shouldn’t be allowed to hit each other in the face?

Deadprez: No, Gavin. But Veena with a right hand sends Sienna back. Remember the interaction Veena, Sienna, and Kassidy had at Midsummer Massacre and Veena didn’t appreciate that one bit.

Eve: It doesn’t help that Veena and Kassidy HATE each other with a passion. Meanwhile Veena is just slugging Sienna with those right hands BEFORE VEENA GOES FOR A PALM STRIKE–

Gavin Kirkland: SIENNA AVOIDS THE SHOT! Veena misses wildly before Sienna grabs her arm AND STARTS BENDING BACK HORRIBLY INTO ALMOST AN ARMBAR! 

Eve: Veena is doing whatever she can to try and get free, but Sienna is bending her arm horribly back so that her arm could easily pop out of its socket. 

Deadprez: LOOK! VEENA WITH A ROLL THROUGH TO GET BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE DOING A CARTWHEEL TO GET THE TORQUE OUT OF HER ARM BEFORE CLOBBERING SIENNA WITH A FOREARM!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena goes to hit Sienna with another forearm, BUT SIENNA FIRES BACK WITH A CHOP STRAIGHT TO VEENA’S CHEST! Sienna is so lucky to get to touch Veena there.

Eve: It isn’t for pleasure, you sicko. But Sienna comes back AND CHOPS VEENA IN THE CHEST AGAIN! GOOD GAWD DID YOU HEAR THAT SOUND THE CHOP MADE WHEN IT MADE CONTACT?

Deadprez: I did, but what I could also hear is sweet Aunt Kassidy chanting for her bestie Sienna to, and I quote, “pop those cheap looking implants that look like they were done by a surgeon just beginning medical school”.

Gavin Kirkland: Damn. No love is lost within the Adams household, but Sienna has chopped Veena all the way to the corner and look at how red Veena’s chest is. Veena could be bleeding right now. 

Deadprez: Sienna doesn’t care about how much pain Veena is in as Sienna backs up BEFORE RUNNING FULL SPEED INTO THE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING INTO A BACK ELBOW FROM VEENA!

Eve: THAT ELBOW CAUGHT HER RIGHT ON THE JAW! Veena now climbs herself onto the second rope as Sienna starts to slowly turn around–

Gavin Kirkland: SIENNA WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SIENNA QUICKLY HIT VEENA WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE SHOT SENDS VEENA OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE HITTING THE APRON AND CRASHING ONTO THE FLOOR!

Eve: Horrible landing for Veena as Milli is right there cheering her War Games partner on. Meanwhile, Kassidy is on the other side looking pleased with the beating Sienna is putting on her niece.

Deadprez: Sienna is now on the floor as she unceremoniously grabs Veena by the hair to bring her back to her feet BEFORE USING THE HAIR AS LEVERAGE TO THROW VEENA LIKE A FRISBEE–

Gavin Kirkland: AND VEENA GOES FLYING INTO THE RING STEPS! WHAT AN UGLY THUD BY SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LADY LIKE VEENA! These women are ruthless.

Eve: This is just the beginning as Sienna once again grabs Veena by the hair BEFORE SMASHING VEENA’S FACE INTO THE STEPS! VEENA COULD HAVE A BROKEN NOSE!

Deadprez: That’s the least of Veena’s worries right now as Sienna still has the hair and rolls Veena back into the ring before following suit. Sienna is back up AND CATCHES VEENA WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE RIBS!

Gavin Kirkland: I was expecting a cover right there, but these two veterans of EAW know that an early cover will not mean squat. I personally hope this match goes a long time.

Deadprez: Of course you would. Sienna once again pulls Veena up by the hair and whips Veena to the ropes. Veena with the rebound AND SHE COUNTERS WITH A THESZ PRESS THAT TAKES SIENNA DOWN!

Eve: Veena is throwing those stiff punches in the face and to the head as the referee is warning Veena about the punches while Kassidy is telling the ref to disqualify her or get fired.

Gavin Kirkland: But sweet Veena opens the fists on four when the referee starts counting. Veena runs back and hits the ropes as Sienna is trying to get back to her feet. Veena comes back AND CLOBBERS SIENNA WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!

Eve: Sienna knocked loopy with the knee as she fell back towards the ropes. Sienna bounces back as Veena hits the go behind AND TRIES TO TAKE SIENNA DOWN WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX-

Deadprez: SIENNA IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH AND LAND ON HER FEET BEFORE DELIVERING A STRAIGHT KNEE TO THE SPINE! Veena is able to keep her balance, BUT SIENNA KICKS HER IN THE BACK OF THE KNEECAP!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena falls to her knees as Sienna hits the ropes to build up some momentum as she comes back AND CATCHES VEENA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A SHINING WIZARD!

Eve: Veena falls to the mat as Sienna reaches and grabs another handful of hair AND JUST STARTS BASHING VEENA’S FACE INTO THE MAT! VEENA BEING FORCED TO KISS THE MAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN!

Deadprez: The referee is once again telling Sienna to let go of the hair before they start another count. Sienna just keeps going until the four count before letting Veena go. 

Gavin Kirkland: Now the beautiful Sienna is looking to slow down the pace of this match with a headlock applied on the National Elite Champion. Sienna is trying to tire out Veena right now.

Deadprez: The referee better keep a close eye on the headlock before it turns into a blatant choke because Sienna will have no issue taking a shortcut like that.

Eve: The referee is right there checking on Veena to see if Sienna keeps the headlock legal or if Veena might pass out, BUT VEENA IS FIGHTING BACK! VEENA IS MAKING IT BACK TO HER FEET!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena is throwing elbows into Sienna and she is about to get free BUT SIENNA GRABS A HANDFUL OF HAIR AND THROWS HER BACK ONTO THE MAT! Smart thinking by the Hall of Famer!

Eve: More like a cheap trick, but be that as it may, Sienna hits the ropes and comes back LOOKING FOR AN SNAP ELBOW DROP, BUT NOBODY WAS HOME AS VEENA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!

Deadprez: Sienna’s elbow met the mat hard and she is holding her elbow as she gets back to her feet and turns around INTO A KESAGIRI CHOP TO THE THROAT BY VEENA! Veena spins Sienna around and grabs her around the waist–

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA LIFTS HER UP AND DROPS HER WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! SIENNA LANDS HARD ON THE MAT AS VEENA BRIDGES UP AND GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!

Eve: SIENNA KICKS OUT AT TWO! Sienna rolls back and has made it onto her knees and is trying to get back to her feet AS VEENA THROWS THOSE STIFF FOREARMS ACROSS SIENNA’S BACK!

Deadprez: But Sienna is still fighting to get back to her feet AS SHE THROWS SOME LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO THE GUT OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: You do what you have to do in order to win a match sometimes. Sienna has made it back to her feet AND SHE TRIES TO FIRE A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT VEENA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY FROM–

Deadprez: Veena grabs the leg and trips Sienna up with the single leg takedown BEFORE ROLLING SIENNA OVER AND APPLYING THE ANKLE LOCK! SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED!

Eve: It might be a little early for a submission, BUT SIENNA JUST TRIED TO GRAB THE ROPES, BUT VEENA PULLED HER RIGHT BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland:  Dueling screams going on right now as Milli is cheering Veena on while Kassidy is yelling for Sienna to get free as well as the referee to force Veena to release the hold!

Eve: Sienna is starting to grimace a little due to the ankle lock starting to cause a little bit of pain. Veena is just looking to weaken Sienna as much as she can—

Deadprez: LOOK! SIENNA MANAGES TO PUSH UP LONG ENOUGH FOR HER TO ROLL FORWARD AND TAKE VEENA WITH HER! THAT LOOKED LIKE A MODIFIED VICTORY ROLL AND VEENA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHH—

Gavin Kirkland: THE BEAUTIFUL VEENA KICKS OUT AT TWO! Sienna didn’t get the win, but she did force Veena to release the ankle lock. Now Sienna is scooting back towards the ropes to try and catch a breather.

Eve: Well Veena isn’t going to let that happen as she is right on the hunt for Sienna Jade, who is now sitting against the ropes. Veena goes to grab Sienna–

Deadprez: SIENNA GRABS VEENA BY HER TOP AND SENDS HER RIGHT INTO THE ROPES! VEENA’S THROAT CAUGHT THE MIDDLE ROPE AND HER FOREHEAD CAUGHT THE TOP ROPE!

Gavin Kirkland: We have top grabbing? Did something come down? Did something pop out? I AM GOING TO NEED THE FOOTAGE FROM ALL ANGLES AND A REPLAY! 

Deadprez: Damn, Gavin. You are acting worse than usual. We have a match going on right now. Speaking of the match, Sienna is taking advantage of the shortcut as she grabs Veena by the hair before applying the facelock and lifting her onto the ropes.

Eve: Sienna has Veena dangling on the top rope BEFORE SHE SPINS OUT AND TAKES VEENA OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A DANGEROUS SWINGING NECKBREAKER! WHAT A LANDING!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena crashes hard against the mat as Sienna pulls Veena back towards the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHH-

Eve: VEENA POWERS OUT AT TWO! What a hell of a match this has been thus far as Sienna Jade is now just pounding her fist into Veena’s skull as Kassidy watches on pleased and proud of what her tag team partner is doing to her niece.

Deadprez: The referee reaches four on the count as Sienna brings Veena back to her feet and whips her into the corner. Sienna quickly follows suit AND CATCHES VEENA IN THE FACE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna’s legs are weapons of mass distract… er I mean destruction. Those kicks are deadly.

Eve: You are gross. But that kick caught Veena hard and Sienna has Veena in the suplex position and placed Veena right on the top rope before following suit on the second rope. 

Deadprez: Sienna has the facelock applied again AS SHE TRIES TO LIFT VEENA UP AND TAKE HER OFF THE TOP WITH A SUPERPLEX-

Gavin Kirkland: THANK GAWD! VEENA IS BLOCKING IT! VEENA IS THROWING RIGHT HANDS INTO SIENNA’S RIBS TO TRY AND GET FREE! BUT SIENNA STARTS CLOBBERING VEENA IN THE BACK!

Deadprez: Sienna is once again trying to hit the superplex, BUT VEENA IS BLOCKING IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME SHE PUNCHES SIENNA IN THE BACK OF THE SKULL AND THAT GETS HER FREE!

Eve: Now it’s Veena’s turn to clobber Sienna in the spine enough that she is kissing the top turnbuckle. Veena now has her arms around Sienna’s waist AS SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE–

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA LANDS ON HER FEET AND PULLS SIENNA FROM THE TURNBUCKLE BEFORE DRIVING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB! DID YOU SEE SIENNA’S NECK SNAP BACK?

Eve: Veena can be a powerhouse when the situation is necessary. But right now Veena returns the favor and pulls Sienna back to her feet by the hair and gets Sienna in the side headlock. 

Deadprez: Veena looks right at her aunt Kassidy BEFORE SPINNING OUT AND PLANTING SIENNA WITH “A DARK TURN”! SPINNING HEADLOCK ELBOW DROP SENDS SIENNA FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!

Gavin Kirkland: Her eyes never left Kassidy as if sending her a message after Midsummer Massacre as she rolls Sienna over for the cover and hooks the leg!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHH—

Eve: SIENNA JADE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Veena pounds the mat in a little bit of frustration as she looks up and takes a glance at Kassidy, who just smirks and shrugs.

Deadprez: Meanwhile, her teammate Milli is cheering Veena on. They might not really like each other, but they have a huge mission at Territorial Invasion where they will have to work together in order to win. 

Gavin Kirkland: Veena needs to keep her disdain towards her Aunt Kassidy in check in order to win this match. Kassidy just exists right now at ringside and it’s making Veena sick.

Deadprez: Sienna is trying to recover BUT VEENA FIRES OFF A STRAIGHT KICK TO THE BACK OF SIENNA’S HEAD! Sienna is looking down at the mat as Veena grabs her by the nape on her neck–

Eve: VEENA TRIED TO JAM HER THUMB INTO SIENNA’S WINDPIPE! VEENA CALLS THAT “THUMBS UP”, BUT SIENNA GOT FREE AND AVOIDED THE SHOT AT THE LAST SECOND TO AVOID THAT ILLEGAL MOVE!

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna gets behind Veena and hooks her arms before dropping down to her knees AND TAKING VEENA OVER WITH A BACKSLIDE! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Eve: VEENA GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! SIENNA ALMOST STOLE THE MATCH THERE! Both women are back to their feet as Sienna is a little bit quicker AND SHE FIRES A PUNCH TO THE FACE!

Deadprez: Veena didn’t appreciate that one bit BEFORE SHE COMES BACK AND FIRES A PUNCH IN SIENNA’S FACE! Sienna has a mix of amusement and annoyance on her face AS SHE PUNCHES VEENA AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: Both these beautiful women are glaring at each other BEFORE THEY START A BRAWL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! THESE TWO ARE JUST TRYING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER AND I DON’T LIKE IT!

Eve: The referee is telling both ladies to open up the fists, but it might be in the referee’s best interest to let them just beat the hell out of each other because throwing this match out wouldn’t be good either.

Deadprez: Yeah. Especially since Kassidy Heart is at ringside. She wouldn’t let that happen. At all. Speaking of Kassidy, look at the smirk on her face as she watches her tag team partner just hit her niece in the face!

Gavin Kirkland: And it is Sienna who is starting to get the upper hand as she keeps firing off those right hands until Veena is backed into the corner. Sienna backs up BEFORE COMING BACK TO THE CORNER AT FULL SPEED–

Deadprez: SIENNA LEFT HER FEET FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT VEENA GETS HER FEET UP AND DRIVES THEM INTO SIENNA’S FACE! SIENNA GOT ALL OF THAT AS SHE LANDS ON HER FEET AND HOLDS HER FACE IN PAIN!

Eve: That gives Veena enough time to try her luck once again in the high rent district as she climbs all the way back up to the top turnbuckle. Veena is being careful up there as she turns around to face the inside of the ring–

Gavin Kirkland: SIENNA JADE COMES BACK FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND JUMPS BACK ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND CLOBBERS VEENA ONCE AGAIN IN THE FACE!

Eve: I think we are about to experience a case of deja vu because Sienna is once again trying to get the facelock applied to attempt the superplex, BUT VEENA IS BLOCKING THE SUPERPLEX ONCE AGAIN!

Deadprez: It is almost deja vu because Veena is throwing the right hands into Sienna trying to get free and block the superplex again. Those repeated shots are catching Sienna in the side of the head–

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THIS TIME, SIENNA DOES NOT LET GO! SIENNA HOLDS ON TIGHT AND LIFTS VEENA OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND DROPS HER WITH THE SUPERPLEX!

Eve: LOOK SIENNA MANAGED TO HOLD ONTO THE TOP ROPE AS VEENA WAS IN THE AIR SO VEENA WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO HIT THE MAT!

Deadprez: VEENA ALMOST LANDED ON HER HEAD WITH THAT UGLY LANDING! BUT SIENNA DOESN’T CARE! Veena is down and Sienna Jade gets herself on the top rope. 

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna has her balance and Veena hasn’t moved AS SIENNA JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE MOONSAULT! “STARSTRUCK” BY SIENNA AND SHE GOT ALL OF IT!

Deadprez: SIENNA LANDED ON TOP OF VEENA’S RIBS AND BREADBASKET! VEENA ISN’T MOVING AS SIENNA SCRAMBLES BACK ON TOP OF VEENA AND GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!

Eve: DID SIENNA GET THE THREE? NO SHE DIDN’T! THE REFEREE IS CALLING IT A TWO COUNT AND SIENNA DOESN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! NOW SIENNA IS GETTING IN THE REFEREE’S FACE DISPUTING THE COUNT!

Gavin Kirkland: I hate that Sienna is so angry like this. Maybe the ref should call it a three count and end the match.

Eve: Yeah, and then Veena would be pissed off. Right now Milli is on one side of the ring cheering Veena on to get back in the match while Kassidy is on the other side threatening the referee’s job for counting slow again.

Deadprez: It looks like Sienna is done arguing with the referee and goes back to continue her offense on Veena–

Gavin Kirkland: AND SIENNA TURNED RIGHT INTO A SPEAR FROM VEENA! THE INFAMOUS ADAMS FAMILY SPEAR CAUGHT SIENNA! SIENNA’S DOWN AND VEENA GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!

Eve: SIENNA KICKED OUT! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE TWO COUNT AND THE ADAMS FAMILY SPEAR ALMOST CLAIMED ANOTHER VICTIM! WHAT A MATCH!

Deadprez: Kassidy let out a small breath thinking that Veena almost won it there, but Veena is back to her feet and she is waiting for Sienna to recover to hopefully finish her off.

Gavin Kirkland: Veena has backed up as Sienna has slowly rolled to her knees AND VEENA RUNS IN FOR THE “SKULL FRACTURE” PUNT KICK–

Deadprez: Sienna got out of the way of that punt kick and that caused Veena to lose her balance. Sienna gets back to her feet and grabs hold of Veena’s arm before pulling her back in–

Eve: SIENNA CLOBBERS VEENA IN THE FACE WITH THE “WITCHES HAMMER”! DIRECT HIT WITH THE RIPCORD ROLLING ELBOW RIGHT IN VEENA’S FACE AND VEENA DROPS HARD TO THE MAT!

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GAWD! MY POOR VEENA IS HOLDING HER FACE IN PAIN AFTER THAT ELBOW! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT WITH THAT SHOT AS SIENNA ROLLS VEENA OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! WILL THAT BE ENOUGH?

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!

Eve: HOLY CRAP! VEENA BARELY MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! WHAT A NEAR FALL FOR SIENNA JADE AND SIENNA IS GLARING AT THE REFEREE WHILE KASSIDY IS SCREAMING ABOUT A SLOW COUNT!

Deadprez: Sienna isn’t happy, but Veena is barely moving right now and I wouldn’t be surprised if Veena had a broken or a bleeding nose after that elbow caught Veena right in the face! Sienna was NOT holding back with that shot.

Gavin Kirkland: These women are so strong and so beautiful that I hope the network lets us go into overtime so this match can continue. Good news! The camera got a nice shot of Veena and there is no blood! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: It’s nice to have a dream. But Sienna glances at Kassidy and Kass gives the thumbs down. Kassidy wants Veena finished off NOW! Sienna nods as she drags Veena closer to the corner before she ascends the turnbuckles.

Deadprez: SIENNA IS ON THE TOP ROPE AND SHE IS LOOKING FOR “RAW SIENNA”! IF SHE GETS THE DROPKICK, SHE WILL WIN THIS MATCH! SHE IS WAITING FOR VEENA TO GET BACK TO HER FEET-

(As Sienna goes to finish Veena off, the sound of ‘Dark Horses’ by Switchfoot starts playing as the crowd started cheering wildly as Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts enter the arena.)

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THESE TWO DOING HERE? THIS IS NOT DYNASTY! GO BACK TO YOUR OWN DAMN SHOW!

Deadprez: FIRE AND ICE ARE HERE!  I am not surprised that they are here after the challenge they issued last night and what Kassidy and Sienna said about them earlier tonight.

Eve: Speaking of Kassidy, she is looking up the entrance ramp and she does not look happy right now. Especially since this is Jaded Hearts business.

Gavin Kirkland: How dare they interfere in this match? This is a SHOWDOWN MATCH! Not the Rex and Raven Show! GO AWAY!

Eve: It might not be their show, but they have the Jaded Hearts full attention as Sienna Jade was about a second away from finishing, and presumably winning, this match.

Deadprez: Well not anymore as the appearance of Fire and Ice have led to Sienna Jade coming off the top rope and getting back in the ring as she is not happy that Raven and Rex are here.

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna is screaming at Raven and Rex as they are standing on the entrance ramp AND SHE IS NOT AWARE THAT VEENA ADAMS HAS COMPLETELY RECOVERED!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS HAS SNUCK BEHIND SIENNA AND VEENA ROLLS HER UP! SCHOOLGIRL ROLLUP BY VEENA AND SIENNA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! IS VEENA GONNA STEAL IT HERE?

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“7 Rings” starts playing again as Veena scrambles off of Sienna as Sienna looks to be in complete shock as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! VEENA ADAMS!

Eve: I think it is safe to say that pinfall came out of left field. This was certainly a hard hitting match between these two, but it was Veena who was able to take advantage of the situation and pick up the victory.

(Sienna is still in shock that she got rolled up until she looks up the entrance ramp and looks at Fire and Ice. The shock then turns to anger as Sienna rolls out of the ring before she and Kass run up the entrance ramp and begin a fight with Fire and Ice.)

Deadprez: Well I was going to talk about how much of an effort Sienna put forth in this match, BUT NOW WE HAVE A BRAWL GOING ON ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP! THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AND THEIR CHALLENGERS!

Gavin Kirkland: Fire and Ice are getting a lesson taught to them right now. DO NOT INTERFERE IN THE JADED HEARTS’ BUSINESS! They came out here and cost Sienna a match and now they are going to pay.

(As the brawl is going on, Milli has slid into the ring as Veena is getting her arm raised in victory by the referee before the referee leaves the ring to break up the fight that is slowly heading up the entrance ramp.)

Eve: Be that as it may, tonight The Jaded Hearts leave with a loss as Veena Adams leaves with some momentum toward Territorial Invasi–

(Veena and Milli were celebrating the victory in the ring before both women were suddenly struck down.)

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT? MILLI AND VEENA WERE CELEBRATING A WIN BEFORE THEY WERE TAKEN DOWN? WHO IS THAT?

Deadprez: Not who is that. WHO ARE THEY? AND THEY ARE THE DYNASTY WAR GAMES TEAM? DRAKE KING. MINERVA. AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MYLES!! THEY ARE HERE ON SHOWDOWN!

(Minerva is raining down fists on Veena Adams while Drake King and Myles are double teaming Milli Banks.)

Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS IS GETTING PUMMELED BY MINERVA, AND THERE WAS HISTORY BETWEEN THESE TWO THAT WAS UNSETTLED A FEW SEASONS AGO WHEN CHARLIE MARR FACED HER ON VOLTAGE AND VEENA HELPED HIM! MILLI IS GETTING DOUBLE TEAMED AND I DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEE THEM HERE AFTER THE ROCKY ALLIANCE THEY MADE LAST NIGHT ON DYNASTY! 

Eve: THIS TRIO WAS ONCE AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS NEW EDEN WHEN THEY WRECKED HAVOC ON VOLTAGE A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW THEY ARE BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF THE NATIONAL ELITE AND UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS!

(Veena is down as Minerva picks her up and throws her shoulder first into the steel post and Veena flies out of the ring hitting hard on the outside floor. She then turns and sees both Drake King and Myles holding Milli up.)

Myles: (Off Camera) DO IT!

Drake King: (Off Mic) REMEMBER PAIN FOR PRIDE! 

(Drake King smiles as Milli tries to fight them off, Minerva looks at Milli and sighs.)

Minerva: (Off Mic) I’m sorry… but this is the way.

Eve: THE DEVIL’S TOUCH RIGHT IN THE FACE OF MILLI KNOCKING HER FLAT OUT AS SHE COLLAPSES TO THE MATS! LOOK AT MINERVA! SHE FELT REGRET AND NOW SHE IS LOOKING AT BOTH MYLES AND DRAKE WHO ARE SMILING! 

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS SMILING NOW TOO! THIS ISN’T FAIR! IT’S TWO ON THREE! OF COURSE THOSE CHEATERS FROM DYNASTY ARE GOING TO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT VEENA ALSO JUST HAD A MATCH! WHERE THE HELL IS SECURITY?

(The crowd is letting New Eden hear what they think about this situation before the crowd reaction suddenly turns to cheers as somebody runs down the entrance ramp.)

Deadprez: I don’t know where security is, BUT HERE COMES BRONSON DANIELS! BRONSON IS RUNNING FULL SPEED DOWN THE ENTRANCE RAMP BEFORE SLIDING IN THE RING!

Eve: Bronson goes full speed RIGHT TOWARDS MYLES AND HE TAKES HIM DOWN! DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND BRONSON IS JUST THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS IN THE FACE OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

Deadprez: Here comes Minerva grabbing Bronson from behind AND BRONSON THROWING SOME HANDS AT MINERVA STAGGERING HER BACK BEFORE GIVING SOME TO DRAKE KING AS WELL!

Gavin Kirkland: For once, I will support Bronson Daniels since he’s Showdown now, BUT DON’T YOU MESS THIS UP! KICK THEIR DYNASTY ASSES! 

Eve: BUT THE NUMBERS GAME IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR BRONSON TO HANDLE WITH A THREE ON ONE SITUATION AND THEY ARE JUST BEATING DOWN ON THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! MYLES HAS HIM UP AND DEFACTO! BRONSON DANIELS IS DOWN AND DRAKE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES, JUDGMENT DAY! BRONSON IS OUT! 

Gavin Kirkland: COME ON SHOWDOWN! GET UP AND KICK THEIR ASSES! DON’T LET THEM WIN!

Deadprez: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING TO WATCH! NEW EDEN WAS USED TO DOING THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST, BUT THEY ARE HERE TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE THE TRIO TO BEAT AT TERRITORIAL INVASION!

(New Eden has beat down Bronson to the point that he is knocked out just like his War Games teammates. The trio are proud of what they accomplished as they stand over their fallen victims as the crowd starts booing.)

Eve: This is hard to watch, but New Eden came to Showdown to make a statement, and I hate to say it, but a statement they made. But don’t expect Milli, Bronson, and especially Veena to take this lightly. I hope they know what they did.

Deadprez: All I can say right now is that this is just the beginning. For Eve and Gavin Kirkland. Thank you for another great edition of Saturday Night Showdown. Good night everybody and see you all next week.

(The final shot has New Eden standing tall over the Showdown War Games team showing their solidarity for Territorial Invasion while the Showdown faithful crowd is still booing them out of the building while Myles, Drake King, and Minerva look down at the fallen with scowls on their faces before smiling and slowly looking back up at the camera as the shot fades to black.)
