Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s show. Devolution explains themselves and welcomes the new members of the group, Serenity and Halsey Neel and that Devolution has only grown a lot stronger, they proclaim this is only the beginning of their season. Mattias Burke defeats Nikki Kimura. Daryl Kinkade is able to convince Scott Diamond to join the Brand Warfare team and then he ends up having a talk with ARIA as well. Delilah Rose defeats Lucas Johnson to earn a title shot. Ashlynn tries to spend some time with Veena by going on a spa day but Veena is in a bad mood due to losing the National Elite Championship, so she leaves in the middle of the spa day and Ashlynn promises she will try to fix this. Princess Candice comes out and promises that Caroline will not prevail at all on trying to get rid of her. Halsey defeats Candice after an interference from Caroline. Kennedy reveals to Lucas Johnson that his Unique Opportunity is that he is her “chosen one” but before Kennedy can explain what that means, Lucas leaves her office incredibly excited. Usagi and ARIA talk it out like sisters after the accident that happened on their tag match last week and they promise that no matter the troubles or problems, they will do great on the season, they give each other a hug but after the talk, ARIA is feeling a lot better but Usagi is still feeling dejected. After using the exposed steel corner, Daryl Kinkade is able to get a win over Sheridan Muller. Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno have a moment of reuniting and bonding a bit after everything that has happened, and the simps are back as well due to their reunion. Jon Kelton versus Chef Viz ends in a no contest after PJ and Devolution attack, but the situation ends with Chef Viz and PJ getting laid out. Adam has an interview backstage and after seeing what happened with Viz, he asks him if he wants to join the Wargames team and Chef Viz gladly accepts. And in the main event, Adam versus Serenity ends in a no contest as well as Devolution attacks and Sheridan tries to backup Adam, and it was then, that Chef Viz comes out with a steel chair to help out Sheridan and Adam and push Devolution back as Team Showdown ends up standing tall.)
(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 Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway. Blue fireworks are shooting out of the stage and a very excited crowd can be shown on their feet. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: Welcome everybody…TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHOWDOWN NUMBER ONE BABYYYY! IT IS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN, IN 20 DAYS TERRITORIAL INVASION HAPPENS AND SHOWDOWN WILL GO ON TO CONQUEEERRRRR! WE WRESTLE BUT WITHOUT ANY MERCY!
Deadprez: And we will also have no mercy when showing you incredible matches tonight, for we have, the National Elite Championship being defended as Jon Kelton goes up against Lucas Johnson, Auburn Ware versus Mattias Burke, and the tag team match of the Cosmic Captains going up against the reunited IDOL-GUN!
Eve: We also have PJ Hendrx going up against one third of the Ice Aces, Usagi Senshi, Team Showdown for Wargames consisting of the Answers World Champion Adam Lucas, Miss CITV Sheridan Muller and Chef Viz fighting against a returning Johnny Andrews and the Off-Brand Amphetamines, and in the main event, we got Madison Kaline going up against one fourth of Devolution, Pandora Paisley
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANYMORE TIME THEN AS WE HEAR FROM THE CAPTAIN OF THE BRAND WARFARE TEAM, DARYL KINKADE! LET’S GET RIGHT ON WITH THE SHOW!
( Kamikaze by RedHook screams through the arena’s sound system. It’s Daryl Kinkade, captain of Showdown’s Brand Warfare team, he’s arrived to make a statement! The Englishman’s appearance earns a negative reaction from the Norwegian crowd. Maybe that’s to do with the methods he used to beat fellow European Sheridan Müller on last week’s broadcast! Or maybe, someone like Daryl is just naturally unlikeable. Either way, he’s here, it’s a new dawn and a new edition of Showdown, as he walks on down to the ring cameras transition to the commentary desk where Deadprez, Gavin Kirkland and Eve are waiting. Take us away! )
Deadprez: Daryl Kinkade gets his usual reception kicking off tonight’s broadcast. Be it Oslo, Ontario or Oman, “The Kink of Elite” isn’t very well-liked in the Elite Answers Wrestling universe! But, you don’t need to have friends in abundance to do well in this sport. We’ve seen that with Daryl being made captain of the Brand Warfare team, and he showcased that point again last week beating out Ms. Cash in the Vault herself, Sheridan Müller! Although the tactics he used to pick up such a big victory were controversial to say the least…
Gavin Kirkland: If you’re not cheating – you’re not trying! That’s the saying, isn’t it? Daryl has incredible in-ring awareness. He took advantage of Sheridan’s naivety and the referee’s incompetence and he’s been rewarded for doing so. Picking up huge momentum en route to Territorial Invasion in a couple of weeks from now. Furthermore, he picked up one hell of an asset for his team – Scott Diamond! A multi-time World Champion in his own right, a man who has done so much for Elite Answers Wrestling. Scott’s a huge get for Daryl’s team!
Eve: Sure, but the meeting itself was a little… Interesting. Scott himself made an interesting point about how he’s not to be trusted. Daryl himself is all-too familiar to that feeling. But as team captain, you could argue that he /should/ be picking people he’ll gel with, right? Instead, he and the rest of his team, whoever those will be, will have eyes in the back of their head. We’ve seen Scott’s approach since returning. Joso, The Visual Prophet – Sheridan more recently; he isn’t here to play nice and if there’s any incentive or desire to stab Daryl in the back, he’s going to take that opportunity – Territorial Invasion or not! But I digress, Scott as a competitor has done it all, if he behaves he’ll be a great asset for Showdown…
( Daryl Kinkade is in the ring now. He takes a microphone from the ringside attendant and he awaits the Norwegian crowd to die down. But, they’re a feisty bunch. A crude chant – which I’m unsure can be repeated, breaks out calling Daryl a word which rhymes with banker. In time though the crowd’s noise softens. It’s the opening of the show, they’re rowdy, but the time has come for Showdown’s team captain to make himself heard. )
Daryl Kinkade: Well, suffice to say, you all aren’t happy to see me. I get it, I suppose. You were expecting me to walk into Oslo coming off a loss, a loss to a fellow European in Sheridan. Last week I upset the odds. I got the proverbial monkey off of my back, and I continued my good fortunes since coming to Showdown. It’s been a decent little season so far I can’t lie. Fighting for the Answers World Championship, coming so close to beating Adam Lucas. Now, heading into Territorial Invasion as the team captain of Showdown. Look, you can all boo me, call me a wanker and all, it doesn’t deny that I’m thriving – doing better than any of you mugs could.
Daryl Kinkade: When I said that Kennedy Street saw something in me, something which Voltage last season never capitalized on, I wasn’t bullshitting. I always felt that I was under Charlie Marr’s shadow on Voltage. Then the second half of the season, things just didn’t come together. But at Pain for Pride, all of that went away. I beat a legitimate Hall of Fame talent, one of the best to ever do it in this business and since then? I’ve been flying. Upsetting the odds, rising higher-and-higher up the card. I like the feeling, it’s gratifying. I’m thankful to Kennedy for putting her faith in me – I’m thankful in myself for beginning to live up to my potential.
Daryl Kinkade: It’s a weird, full circle moment in a sense. Last year, I was in this exact same position. Team captain, for Voltage mind you, coming into Brand Warfare. We won, but I didn’t really play a huge role in that win. It was mostly the Prescription funnily enough, but now I have a chance at redemption. Like I said, it’s deja vu. Now I’m against Voltage, now I don’t have Charlie along with me. I’m on my own as team captain, making all the decisions, it’s a true test of who I am and what I can achieve in this position. And I plan on thriving. I plan on Showdown dominating, ending Voltage’s streak of wins at this event, being the one to make that happen.
Daryl Kinkade: So I had to get to work… Starting with /this/ man.
( In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins plays through Oslo. Scott Diamond is here! We saw these two men have a brief backstage conversation last week. After returning to Elite Answers Wrestling some time ago, Scott has had mediocre success. But, just like Daryl, he got quite the scalp at Pain for Pride, beating The Visual Prophet in the opening match of the show! Since then, he’s fought the likes of Jon Kelton and Sheridan Müller. At Territorial Invasion, as Daryl alluded to he’ll be joined alongside the Hall of Fame talent. Scott doesn’t muck about, he walks down to the ring, looking a little uninterested in the theatrics of it all, but re-affirming the point that he and Daryl Kinkade form quite the core for Showdown’s team in Brand Warfare. )
Daryl Kinkade: This is a big get for Showdown. Scott Diamond is a man who knows what it’s like to thrive at the top of the industry. He has power, he has experience, and I realize some people have raised concerns – but you have to do what it takes. Just like I did against Rex McAllister. Just like I’m going to do at Territorial Invasion. No hesitancy, no mercy, the result is all that matters when it comes down to it. I’m a visionary, you have to take a few risks in this sport to win big and Scott Diamond is someone who knows that as much as I do. I sympathise with Dynasty and Voltage. I truly believe neither of those brands have someone who can match Scott pound-for-pound in terms of bringing pure destruction to the ring.
Daryl Kinkade: But I couldn’t stop there, no. I couldn’t stop with just Scott. I had to keep building a team, a proper team, a squad who can go into Germany and come out with the win. We have finesse. We have the power. Right now we’re a good tandem, talented, but we needed to add some technique – some speed. Women who have been through the wringer. Who have a vendetta, who have grievances. Women who on Voltage, went through hell. Who’ll have a gripe against Eden Sinclair and want to win not only for themselves or their brand, but also to spit in her face and the face of those who mistreated them on Voltage last season.
Daryl Kinkade: So, with that in mind… The next two members of Team Showdown!
( Pinky! Pinky! Hits the speakers! The Ice Aces! Well, not the entire set, no. ARIA and Usagi are here and the crowd, finally, sparks up a little! They jeered Daryl’s appearance, and while Scott got quite a fair reaction, Oslo is very happy to see the duo of Usagi and the former Specialists Champion, ARIA! The Ice Aces are here and we can presume that both of these ladies are joining Showdown’s team for Brand Warfare. What a coup! Daryl smirks, ARIA and Usagi seem delighted and we cut over to the commentary table. Deadprez starts us off, as per usual! )
Deadprez: Now the spine of Showdown’s team is really forming! ARIA and Usagi Senshi! They join Daryl and Scott at Territorial Invasion, I’m liking our odds, guys! Daryl made a point of highlighting their skills. Scott has the power, Daryl /supposedly/ is the brains behind the operation and now we’ve got a pair of fast, witty, technical women in the ring, who’ll be unafraid of throwing themselves around and into the chaos if it means increasing Showdown’s odds of pulling out the victory in Germany!
Eve: And don’t forget, Deadprez, Daryl also pointed out ARIA and Usagi’s dislike of their time on Voltage last season. Being under Eden Sinclair’s thumb for a large portion of the last twelve months and in turn, feuding with the Disney Besties among others! So as well as the incentive of brand supremacy, they’ll be looking to make a point. Taking out Voltage’s members not due to it being the job, but due to seizing some personal gratification. Now we know four of Showdown’s five team members for Brand Warfare…
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t like this at all. Aren’t we supposed to be picking winners?! People who can thrive in a match like Brand Warfare??? Daryl doesn’t know the first thing about teamwork despite his time alongside Charlie – while Scott Diamond is in the same boat! Sure, ARIA and Usagi have that experience and that know-how… But my mind can’t help but go back to Midsummer Massacre – where ARIA lost her shot at the National Elite Championship, where Usagi Senshi didn’t do a whole lot either – much like she hadn’t on Voltage the season prior!
( Oslo are chanting for the Ice Aces, who themselves are going through a bit of a mixed spell at the moment – especially with Usagi and Ayu’s recent separation. They get to the ring, ARIA seems especially excited to be here – Usagi less so. Daryl goes to speak again – this time he’s cut off as Stela Cole’s Rhapsody in Pink rips through the P.A. system. It’s Candice Blair! How intriguing! She must be the fifth member… Although, Daryl looks a little confused – annoyed too – given Candice’s music just cut her off like that. Candice struts out in an extravagant outfit and she isn’t alone… With iconic Disney members here in her entourage! This is like something out of West Side Story! Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh – they’re jamming and mixing it up on the entrance ramp – is that Sebastian the Crab twerking?!?! What is going on here? )
Deadprez: Is Candice Blair the fifth member? I’d assume so, right? Maybe she mistimed her cue or she wanted more time to come out and for her entourage to do… Whatever this is – but on the flip side Daryl Kinkade looks perplexed! Usagi too looks annoyed by this… But ARIA is clapping along, this is wild! Gavin, Eve, what do you make of this?
Eve: Well, as someone who went and saw Barbie recently… I have mixed feelings. It’s like that dance scene in the opening couple of minutes – but the crowd for the most part, and definitely the participants out here in the ring, they’re not into this! Of course, there’s a couple of younger members of the audience having a blast. Candice is smiling, too, she looks radiant – though I agree with your sentiments, Deadprez. Daryl’s expression tells me this wasn’t planned!
Gavin Kirkland: Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me.
( Candice Blair is strutting her stuff, dancing alongside her Disney entourage. She’s not letting the negative vibes in the arena get to her! The platinum bombshell eventually makes her way into the ring, with her Disney friends disappearing to the back. She gestures for a microphone from ringside, cheerful and graceful, she begins to address Daryl Kinkade as well as the Norwegian crowd packed into the arena tonight! )
Candice Blair: This is truly an incredible moment for me. Representing Showdown, being the class act that I am, I’m gracious to accept your offer and be a member of your team, Daryl!
Daryl Kinkade: ?!
Candice Blair: You highlighted all of the qualities this team has. Scott’s power, your wit and finesse, The Ice Aces… Abilities to take bumps. But you were missing one thing, missing one competent, something that’s incredibly important in Elite Answers Wrestling… Charisma. Yes, I can be an asset to Showdown – BUT! I’ve been deep in thought these last few days. I’ve been watching as the other brands build their superteams. And I’ve come to realize a few people who are near-and-dear to me, they’re in /very/ prominent positions over on Dynasty and Voltage. So I actually have a proposition for you. Something that I think makes perfect sense!
Candice Blair: You hand over the captain’s armband to me. Hear me out, hear me out. We need someone with beauty, brains, the whole package to be captain. Someone who has experience meditating and working on a team, like I have. All of these qualities, I have in dividends. Now you’re not half-bad, Daryl, no. But I think we’ve seen when the pressure is on you tend to… Not turn up, if you know what I mean. But I’m the total opposite, I have it in my blood, Cameron and Camille are heading up Dynasty and Voltage’s efforts – just think about it. All three teams in Brand Warfare at Territorial Invasion… Led by the Fernandez-Ava’s.
Candice Blair: I’ve been the perfect representation for Disney in this new era of wrestling. It’s time for me to have my spotlight. Look, Daryl, I’m not saying that you’re a bad shout. You’ve put together a great, competitive team – all who bring something unique to the table. But I just believe it’s my destiny – my right, to take Showdown into this new era, to break Voltage’s streak of victories in this match… To lead the five of us to victory over my sisters. So what do you say?
( Silence fills the Telenor Arena. Everyone, Candice aside, knows where this is going to go. Scot Diamond could not look less interested as he stands in the corner of the ring. Meanwhile, Usagi Senshi looks rather annoyed with Candice’s actions. Daryl Kinkade brings his hand to his face, stroking his chin and pondering Candice’s proposal, but in time he responds… )
Daryl Kinkade: Absolutely not, you dumb fuck. You’re not going to be the captain of Showdown at Territorial Invasion – you’re not going to be on the team whatsoever. I never invited you, I never said you were on the team. You’re straight-up delusional if you think there’s a chance of that happening. Scott, ARIA, Usagi – let’s go. We have preparations to make.
( Daryl shakes his head from side-to-side, budging into Candice as he walks past, vacating the ring and in time the rest of the Brand Warfare team follows. ARIA looks a little glum, she seemed to enjoy Candice’s entrance – but it wasn’t meant to be. In time, only Candice remains in the ring. She has a soft pout on her lips, looking like she doesn’t know what to do with herself. We now know Showdown’s team for Territorial Invasion – at least the majority of it. From here we transition into the first commercial break of the night… )
(As we come back from a commercial break, Gina Romano is standing by to call the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS THE OPENING CONTEST OF SHOWDOWN AND IT IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
GIna Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(“Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G plays as a neutral crowd reacts to Lucas Johnson as he walks out onto the stage completely focused and ready to take advantage of this huge opportunity. He takes a huge breath before making his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST THE CHALLENGER….FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 204 POUNDS…HE IS “THE EMPEROR OF VIOLENCE”….LUUCCAASSS JOOHHNNNSSOONNN!!!
Eve: Here comes Lucas and you can just see the determination in his eyes to finally get that breakout moment he’s been chasing for the longest time now. He’s had some championship matches in the past but it feels something about tonight may be different. You only get so many chances to become a singles champion here and Lucas doesn’t know how many he’s got left especially with his track record and he looks to cash in on this golden opportunity tonight!
(‘ Paint it Black ‘ by The Rolling Stones plays as the crowd begins to boo Jon Kelton who walks out onto the stage with the National Elite Championship around his waist. He is followed by members of The Devolution Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel. He soaks in the negative while giving off that cocky smile while entering the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT…..REPRESENTING THE DEVOLUTION…FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 207 POUNDS…HE IS THE REIGNING EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION…”THE DEVIL OF DEVOLUTION”….JOOONNNN KEELLTTOONNN!!!
Deadprez: And here comes the National Elite Champion and honestly, he looks a little too confident tonight, maybe underestimating just how much Lucas Johnson wants that championship and how much trouble he could be in.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s just who he is and he’s been that way since winning the title at Pain for Pride. Bigger question is if Devolution being with him at ringside is going to play a factor.
Eve: Not a doubt in my mind, Lucas needs eyes at the bavk of his head in my opinion us an uphill battle tonight.
(Kelton hand his title over as the referee holds it up high before ringing the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: And this championship match between Lucas and Jon is underway as they both circle the ring just staring at the other. Kelton just showing a little bit too much confidence not taking Lucas all that seriously while Lucas takes some amusement in it. This honestly should be a hard hitting title match between these two as they both now step towards each other in the center of the ring holding their right hands up looking for a little test of strength to start the match. They lock hands for a brief moment but quickly back up and circle the ring just waiting on the other to make the first move. After several moments, the two finally lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up! It seems to be a struggle for a moment or two before Lucas manages to gain control over him and get him in a side headlock before flipping him forward on his back, but then Jon uses his legs to clip the head causing her to let go as they race back up to their feet and he charges at him with a full head of steam – BUT LUCAS TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS AS JON ROLLS UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE LOOKING TO RECOLLECT HIMSELF!
(Jon is seen talking with both Halsey and Pandora at ringside.)
Deadprez: AND LOOK OUT!!! LUCAS IS PLAYING NO GAMES AND WASTING NO TIME AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES OUT JON WITH A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE!! Lucas looks like a man on a mission here tonight as he throws Jon back inside the ring before staring Devolution down who have their hands up in innocence.
Halsey Neel: (no mic) He don’t need no help to beat someone like you.
Eve: The fire is just burning in the eyes of Lucas as he turns his attention back to the ring and honestly I don’t blame him at all for being suspicious of Devolution being at ringside.
Gavin Kirkland: I mean, I guess you can’t blame him for being sketchy because he believes deep down that they know he can win the title but won’t admit it out loud as he climbs up the spoon and then to the top rope….AND LUCAS LAUNCHES HIMSELF GOING FOR A MOONSAULT – AND IT CONNECTS!!! LUCAS QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: The kickout! Man Lucas is like a man possessed here in the early goings as he drives his fist into the face of Jon as Jon us trying his best to cover up his fave but it isn’t really having an effecr before Lucas picks him up and delivers a European uppercut to the jaw that drives Jon back into the corner and Lucas looks to keep the momentum rolling for himself as he runs full speed looking for a splash in the corner….BUT NOBODY HOME AS JON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Jon looks to take advantage now as he delivers a superkick to the back of the head that drops Lucas down to a knee, and now it’s Jon who runs off the ropes before delivering a shining wizard to the back of the head!! The momentum has clearly shifted gears into Jon’s favor as he survives that early flurry from Lucas.
Deadprez: Jon backs up into the corner checking his lip for blood from all those punches he just took as Lucas stirs back up to a knee…AND THEN JON RUNS AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF HIS SKULL BEFORE PICKING HIM UP IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY – BUT LUCAS SLIDES OFF HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE WE COULD KNOW WHAT HE HAD IN MIND AND HE DRIVES JON CHEST FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE BEFORE TRYING TO ROLL HIM UP…. BUT JON HELD ON TO THE TURNBUCKLE PAD AS LUCAS ROLLS TO HIS FEET AND CHARGES AT HIM, BUT JON CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND DELIVERS A CROSSBODY!!
Eve: Momentum clearly on the side of Kelton now as he waits for Lucas to stand up and perhaps put this match away early. Lucas stands and swings at his head as hard as he can, but Jon ducks it and….JON TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A TWIST OF FATE!! AND THEN HE DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE DRILLING LUCAS WITH A LIONSAULT! AND THEN HERE’S THE FIRST COVER FROM JON!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: Lucas gets his shoulder up as Pandora and the rest of Devolution encourage him to stay on the attack. Jon gets him up by picking him up from the front, but look at Lucas trying his best to fight out from his grip with shots to the ribs, but Jon puts a stop to that as he drives the knee I to the gut before placing him between the orgs and picking him up in a powerbomb position and looks to go for a buckle bomb in the corner..BUT LUCAS COUNTERS IT TRANSITIONING INTO A HURRICANRANA AND JON HITS THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST!
Eve: Jon might be in a vulnerable spot here as he stands up in the corner….AND LUCAS RUNS AND DELIVERS A RUNNING BIG BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!! Jon might not have a clue on where he is at the moment as Lucas drags him back to the middle of the ring and jumps up locking in a triangle choke!! Lucas has the triangle choke applied as Jon drops down to a knee with Lucas squeezing the breath out of him. Pandora is trying to pound the mat at ringside to rally Jon to get out of this as he is just squirming trying to escape. But look at this….JON JUST DEADLIFTED LUCAS OFF THE MAT AND GOES FOR THE BUCKLE BOMB AGAIN WHICH CONNECTS AS LUCAS’ HEAD WHIPLASHES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! Lucas steps out from the corner and then right into the arms of Jon – AND JON WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION….JON HITS “EGO TRIP!!!” THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT DRILLS LUCAS’S HEAD INTO THE MAT BEFORE TURNING HIM ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: LUCAS SOMEHOW GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AND KEEP HIS OPPORTUNITY ALIVE!! Jon doesn’t waste any time going back on the attack as he stands up and slowly begins stomping away at the body of Lucas before thinking of his next move. Jon looks to the corner before walking over and climbs up to the top rope and balances himself up high….AND JON LEAPS OFF AND GOES FOR A FROG SPLASH…BUT LUCAS GOT THE KNEES UP JUST IN TIME! Lucas saves himself and his title hopes as Jon took a huge risk there and it backfired!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas crawls over and pulls himself up by the ropes just staring down Devolution at ringside.
Pandora Paisley (no mic): You know you have no chance right?
Eve: Devolution looks to be trying to get into Lucas’s head there but he isn’t letting it phase him as he turns around and refocuses on Jon who stands back up and turns around to face Lucas…AND LUCAS HITS HIM WITH A STIFF FOREARM AS JON STUMBLE BAVK AROUND AND LUCAS HOOKS THE ARMS LOOKING TO GO FOR THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE – BUT JON DROPS DOWN AS LUCAS ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET….AND JON RUNS LOOKING TO GO FOR HIS “ONE HIT WONDER” SUPERKICK…..BUT LUCAS CATCHES HIS FOOT AND LOCKS HIM IN THE ANKLE LOCK! JON US IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE RIGHT HERE AS HE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO SCRAMBLE OVER TO THE ROPES BUT LUCAS ISN’T MAKING IT EASY AS HE REPEATEDLY PULLS HIM BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!
Deadprez: Lucas just twisting that ankle and you can hear it cracking as Jon is trying anything he can to drag himself to that bottom rope! Again Lucas drags him back to the middle of the ring and Jon…..JON ROLLS THROUGH SENDING LUCAS FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!! JON QUICKLY STANDS UP AND RUNS UP BEHIND HIM AND PULLS HIM DOWN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ROLLING CUTTER!! Jon doesn’t stop there as he rolls under the bottom rope and makes his way up to the top turnbuckle one more. He tried once spreads and failed but will he connect this time….YES HE DOES!! A PICTURE PERFECT FROG SPLASH ON TOP OF LUCAS AND HERE’S THE COVER TO RETAIN THE TITLE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Again Lucas finds a way to survive! Jon looks like he’s ready to put this match away for good as he begins to stalk Lucas like a predator does to its prey from the corner and we all know what he’s going for, he’s setting up his “Final Atonement” spear…..BUT LUCAS CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR AND PLANTS HIS HEAD INTO THE MST WITH A DDT!! There’s still some life in Lucas as he shares the cobwebs out and pulls himself up with the ropes and Jon stirs up to a knee –
Eve: AND LUCAS RUNS UP BEHIND JON AND DELIVERS A GERMAN SUPLEX! He holds on though and quickly gets him up,and then delivers a second German suplex! Again he holds on to the waist before getting him up – AND HE CONNECTS WITH A THIRD STRAIGHT GERMAN SUPLEX THIS TIME SENDING HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!! Lucas has taken clear control of this match back now as he stalks Jon from behind as Jon rises to his feet holding his head in obvious pain.
Deadprez: Halsey looks like she’s trying to divert Lucas’s attention but Lucas is straight up ignoring her focused only on Jon before running up behind him – AND THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE CONNECTS THIS TIME AS HE FLIPS JON OVER ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS LUCAS’S MOMENT?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO IT’S NOT!! Jon got the shoulder up at two and a half and Lucas looks shocked as he thought he was about to get the biggest win of his career but now he has to think of what to do next as he slowly picks Jon up by the head…AND THEN PLANTS HIM WITH ANOTHER DDT! Lucas looks over to the top rope before stepping through the middle rope and he goes up top now while keeping his eyes on Devolution at ringside….AND LUCAS JUMPS OFF GOING FOR A RED ARROW – BUT NOBODY HOME AS JON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST MILLISECOND!!!
Eve: Lucas knew he had to take a risk there and it might have costed him the National Elite Championship as Jon crawls and pulls himself up using the ropes before turning around to see Lucas standing back up – AND JON DRILLS HIM WITH THE “ONE HIT WONDER”!!! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS ON LUCAS AS JON CRAWLS OVER AND JUMPS ON TOP OF LUCAS AND HOOKS THE LEG TO RETAIN THE TITLE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: KICKOUT FROM LUCAS AGAIN!!! Lucas stays alive again – AND KELTON IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO A CROSSFACE!! KELTON JUST WRENCHING BACK ON THAT UPPER BODY WITH THE CROSSFACE ON LUCAS, DOES LUCAS HAVE ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK TO ESCAPE OUT OF THIS?!
Eve: He sure isn’t giving up without a fight as he is refusing to tap out and begins to slowly drag himself to the ropes and he begins reaching out…..but he might be fading out! Lucas looks to have faded….LUCAS OUT OF NOWHERE REVERSES THE PRESSURE INTO A PIN!! OH MY GOD!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: OH MY DID HE GET HIM?! THE REFEREE SAYS NO AS IT WAS ONLY A TWO COUNT AS JON KICKS OUT OF IT!! JON HAD TO LET GO OF THE CROSSFACE IN ORDER TO SAVE HIMSELF AND NOW IT’S A RACE UP TO THEIR FEET AND JON RUNS GOING FOR “ONE HIT WONDER” AGAIN…BUT LUCAS DUCKS UNDER IT AND UH OH….LUCAS RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND – LUCAS CONNECTS WITH “THE LIGHTSWITCH”!!!! THE CLAYMORE KICK TAKES DOWN KELTON!! LUCAS SLOWLY CRAWLS OVER TO JON AND MAKES THE COVER!! HE’S GOING TO DO IT!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: WHAT?! THE REFEREE SPOTTED JON’S FOOT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE!! I’m not sure if that was ring awareness or pure luck but Jon just barely avoided disaster there as Lucas is in complete shock while Devolution looks like they saw a ghost at ringside thinking Lucas was just about to shock the world right there and become the new champ.
(Instant replay of Lucas hitting “The Lightswitch” that caused Kelton to fall backwards near the ropes before he crawled over to make the cover.)
Deadprez: Lucas is at a loss for words as he thought he had the title won there as I’m sure everybody in this arena did as well. But he knows he can’t let up and give Kelton any room to breathe here and keep aggressive on the attack as he gets set up in the corner once more begging for him to get back to his feet – LUCAS IS LOOKING TO GO FOR “THE LIGHTSWITCH” FOR A SECOND TIME AND PUT JON DOWN FOR GOOD THIS TIME AS HALSEY AND PANDORA ARE TRYING TO POUND THE MAT TO GET KELTON’S ATTENTION TO WAKE UP AND ALERT HIM! KELTON IS UP AND TURNS AROUND AND HERE COMES LUCAS AGAIN….BUT JON DUCKS IT AT THE LAST SECOND!! JON RUNS UP BEHIND LUCAS AND ROLLS HIM UP!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: LOOK KELTON IS HOLDING ON TO THE ROPES!!! HE’S HOLDING ON TO THE ROPES!!
Eve: BUT THE REFEREE CATCHES HIM AND STOPS THE COUNT! KELTON NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AND NEITHER IS HALSEY AS SHE HOPS ON THE APRON AND THEY BEGIN ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE ABOUT WHY THE COUNT WAS STOPPED!
Deadprez: I mean, all the referee did was do the right thing as Kelton tried to take a little shortcut there and it ended up backfiring….BUT YOU BETTER LOOK OUT!! LUCAS COMES RUNNING AND GOES FOR “THE LIGHTSWITCH” CLAYMORE KICK ON KELTON FOR A SECOND TIME – BUT KELTON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS LUCAS HIT HALSEY ON THE APRON INSTEAD!! She disagreed with the referee and ended up paying the price and now Lucas turns around….”FINAL ATONEMENT!!!” BUT LUCAS SIDESTEPS IT!!!
Eve: LUCAS RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND AGAIN TRIES TO GO FOR HIS CLAYMORE BUT KELTON SIDESTEPS THIS TIME AS LUCAS HIT THE TURNBUCKLE! KELTON LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HITS “FINAL ATONEMENT!!!” KELTON NEARLY SPLIT LUCAS IN HALF WITH THAT JUMPING SPEAR AND HERE’S THE HOOK OF THE LEG AGAIN!! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT LUCAS AWAY AND RETAIN HIS TITLE?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Paint it Black’ by The Rolling Stones plays as Jon Kelton stands and gets his hand raised while raising the National Elite Championship high in the air. Pandora and a shaken up Halsey enter the ring and begin the celebration)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION….JOONNNN KEELLLTOOONNNN!!!
Eve: Jon Kelton survives against a very game Lucas Johnson. You can tell by the look on his face that he was in a battle tonight and it seemed like there were points Lucas could have easily won the title but Kelton in the end shows why he’s the champion and finds a way to win and retain the title.
(The Devolution are celebrating in the ring while Kelton celebrates with his title in the corner. Lucas Johnson sits up against the barricade with his hands buried in his hands just disappointed that he came up just a bit short in winning the title. Pandora Paisley grabs a mic and hands it over to Jon Kelton.)
Jon Kelton: Another title defense. Another win and we have a great wrestler in Lucas Johnson trying to wrestle this from me, nu-uh! See, last week was cute and all but who ran Showdown? WE DID! It seems like there are a lot of people in the EAW and on this blue brand don’t seem to want and take us seriously here, well let me tell you right now that is the BIGGEST mistake any of you can make. Let me tell you a little story here, and it has to do with Jon Kelton. I have been in the trenches for years and never respected. Even when I was the New Breed Champion, I was still never respected. I have had some huge wins under my belt and never respected. It took for me to join a few other people that had the same goals and frustrations mind you, to finally get some attention and while you may say that I stole this National Elite Championship? No, I didn’t break any damn rules, I simply outsmarted a Hall of Famer and one of the fastest rising stars in this company. And now PJ Hendrix wants to take out Londyn and she blames me for it!? Well… that is fine because you have a receipt coming at Territorial Invasion.
(The crowd boos as he hands it over to Pandora Paisley.)
Pandora Paisley: Norway smells like a bloody Viking ship.
(The Norwegian crowd let’s Devolution have it as Serenity starts to laugh, Halsey Neel smiles and Jon puts his arm around Pandora and kisses her forehead.)
Pandora Paisley: Besides the smell of rotten fish and body order, didn’t what happen last week on Showdown or even last night on Dynasty prove anything, mates!? There are NO boundaries for Devolution! We go wherever we see fit, I went on the Red Brand last night and put Milli Banks down and on bloody notice, this is how we operate. I warned every single one of you at the start of Season 17 that this was OUR game. Granted, a few things have changed but it is all for the better! Now? Showdown has become Showvolution and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it. Tonight, I Main Event this show against a Hall of Famer, when I dust my hands with her, you are looking at the NEW Specialist Champion and someone that can FINALLY bring some prestige to the title!
(As Pandora flips the mic to Halsey Neel, who rubs her chin from the kick earlier by Lucas Johnson, Serenity whispers a few words in Pandora’s ear as she nods and smiles.)
Halsey Neel: Well…. Well… well…. Did you think that this was going to have any other sort of ending? That Devolution was not going to come out of this still on top even when Team Wargames tried to run us out last week? We are very giving people and have no issues allowing them to have their moment, because when the Territorial Invasion is over, we will then see exactly who runs Showdown here, but let’s talk about IDOL-GUN. They have become a bit of a problem here and that was only because Serenity and I decided to make a union, long before we combined forces to make Devolution. We brought Miku and Hikari back together again; we were the ones that reformed IDOL-GUN and WE are the ones that are going to put an end to the beginning for these two twats. Norway, you have absolutely no idea the star power that stands in front of you right now. We are the future and if nobody likes it? Then do something about it! But you won’t.
(Halsey looks over at Serenity who gladly takes the mic and paces for a moment.)
Serenity Valdez: Show respect for your Empress of Elite!
(The crowd roars in boos.)
Serenity Valdez: Whatever. Listen to me closely here. We are THE Devolution; we are THE premiere group in professional Wrestling. I have already said this before, this is NOT The Queen Bees. These are not lackeys to my talent! These are three other Elitists that are CHAMPIONS, they are CONTENDERS, they are FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS just like myself. We are not playing some role here, we are not the antagonists, if anything, we are everything that each and every Elitist in the back should strive for. Look how long it took for us to finally be standing where we needed to be. Jon has been piddling in the midcard for years because no one wanted to give him that opening and when they did, he took it and ran away with it. Pandora was a Rogues Gallery, carrying those other two losers and when they left her behind, she rose above all of that. Halsey was a Disney Bestie; she was trying to fit in when the whole time she never needed to and instead stood as her own woman. Finally, me, where I led a bunch of losers to the top and they did nothing for me. Now I hold the Empress of Elite crown and soon, the EAW Universal Women’s Championship. Pandora will be Specialist Champion. Halsey can go for anything she desires, and Jon is the reigning and defending National Elite Champion. We are at the precipice of greatness and NO ONE…. And we mean NO ONE can stop The Devolution.
(Serenity drops the mic and stands there side by side with Halsey Neel, Pandora Paisley, and Jon Kelton. “Master of Puppets” starts to play throughout the arena as a chorus of boos surround them.)
Gavin Kirkland: Statement made and if it wasn’t clear before, it is clear now. Devolution RUNS Showdown.
Deadprez: I don’t know about that dawg, because there are a bunch of people in the back that are going to disagree with that statement.
Eve: They are dangerous no question about it and to be truthful, they could indeed be the next super group.
(The Devolution all stand tall as the camera slowly fades to a commercial break.)
(As Showdown returns from commercial break, “Lemme Do My Thing” by YACHT MONEY hits as the crowd cheers. Auburn Ware walks out and she’s confident, having no doubt in her face. Some fans are holding up signs for her, knowing that her arrival has built her quite the following so far. As she walks down the ramp and enters the ring, she basks in the atmosphere.)
Gina Romano: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL WITH A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT! INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM ZIMBABWE, AUBURN WARE!
(‘We Won’t Back Down’ by Ra hits as Mattias walks out to a roaring crowd. The chants is much louder for their fellow European, as he walks down the ramp. Upon entering, Mattias runs circles around the ring, meeting eye to eye with Auburn.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, THE NAATTTTURALL, MATTIAS BURKE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: And we begin! Both competitors are looking to make a statement here, as clearly evident in their promos towards one another! They both are seeking to add a loss to the other’s record, no matter what it takes to make it happen! Auburn is the more technically skilled opponent here, at least on paper! We know very well everything can be so much more different after its all said and done! Auburn and Mattias are locking up, but Auburn is easily able to go under and take his back! He clearly has a problem with people taking his back! It always happens to this man!
Gavin Kirkland: Mattias knows to go very low, as he uses his superior strength to manipulate the arm of Auburn Ware, wrenching it as he throws her over! She gets up, and recognizes this is going to be quite a challenge! I think she enjoys it just as much as we do! Some competition is always going to be a good thing for the sport! They go into a test of strength, but Auburn easily goes into a Drop Shoulder Throw and sends Mattias over her head! Now she’s wrenching his arm!
Deadprez: Ooh, some good ol’ mat wrestling over here! You gotta love it, really. Both Mattias and Auburn are really trying to grapple each other here, but right now it seems like they wanna feel each other out! They’re trying to see each other’s strengths and weaknesses, even if it’s going to mean they’ll sacrifice some momentum in the long run! Mattias wraps his legs around Auburn’s head, putting her into a Headscissors pin before she pushes off quickly! Mattias kips up, and now they’re staring each other down! Auburn takes him down with a double leg, and tries to go for his ankle!
Eve: But Mattias easily uses his agility to roll out of it, before getting back up and ankle tripping her! Now he goes for her ankle, and rolls her over which allows him to take control! What some excellent display of technical skill from these two here, as Auburn is clearly looking to do exactly what Mattias did! She rolls forward, before kipping up and eyeing Mattias! She’s smiling, but so is Mattias! The Natural rushes forward, backing her into the ropes with a clinch! He decides to go for a striking battle, as he sends a knee into her stomach!
Gavin Kirkland: Okay, the first punch got thrown here, or, first knee at that! Both of them are looking to take this into very different territories! Like Deadprez said earlier, they’re really trying to figure each other out very well, almost like they’re trying to get inside each other! Mattias is looking to continue his streak, as he chops her across the chest! She’s finding very quickly that Mattias is a striking expert, and this is not the realm she wants to go down with him! Both of them are very good mat wrestlers, but this can turn the tide real fast!
Deadprez: It can, as we’re seeing right now! Auburn did not expect him to turn the pace up that fast, but he has something to prove right here! Mattias is going for another chop, and it lands! He manages to get another chop off, before sending a kick into her abdomen! Auburn leans forward, before Mattias puts her down with a DDT! Now she’s the one one the mat and he has the advantage! Like I said, Mattias can flip the switch in an instant! He’s that good at controlling the pace, which is something Auburn has to look out for!
Eve: Mattias is moving forward, picking her up and hitting her with a stiff jab! Auburn follows up though! Stiff jab from her sends Mattias staggering back, which renders him surprised! She fought out of that barrage, and Mattias knows that she is one tough son of a gun! I think they might slowly have each other figured out here! Oh my, this is going to be one heck of a match! Auburn sends another jab, but Mattias slips it and pushes her back! He rebounds off the ropes, but Auburn ducks under and puts him down with a neckbreaker!
Gavin Kirkland: Devastating move from Auburn Ware there, as it’s shifting the momentum in her favour! Now she has the ability to control this match whichever way she wants to, which is making Mattias angry! He had the match in his hands earlier, and it just slipped out as quickly as it went in! Auburn knows how to change the pace well too, as the Prodigy is showing her high intellect here! Real prodigy stuff, as she’s looking to continue this streak of counters and defensive genius against a more aggressive and physically better Mattias Burke!
Deadprez: Mentally, though, it looks like he might be a bit outmatched here! Auburn grabs him by the hair, as she sends a knee into his jaw! Now he’s staggering back, and Auburn tries a Spinning Back Elbow! But no! Mattias has another counter of his own, as he grabs her by the waist, picks her up and immediately throws her down with force! He has crazy amounts of strength on his own, and best believe that he isn’t stupid in the least bit! He’s smart in his own right! Auburn is down, and Mattias knows he can’t let this opportunity slip!
Eve: He picks her up, getting her in a clinch as he proceeds to send several European Uppercuts! Devastating stuff, I won’t lie. Mattias is starting to feel it here, as Auburn staggers back in disbelief! She is getting her brain rocked in, and this is not part of her plan, clearly! She tries to cover up, but Mattias is quick and powerful, generating force with each punch! That explosiveness is proving difficult for Auburn to overcome! One shot after another, which leads Mattias to follow up with a crazy Enzuigiri! What a move from Mattias Burke here!
Gavin Kirkland: Taking control of this match and giving her something to overcome, which is making Auburn claw deeper than she ever has! She’s sending wild shots into Mattias’ head, aiming for anything inside as she tries to rock him! Now he’s rocked, and he’s staggering back! Mattias staggers back, and Auburn sees her opportunity here! She runs at him, but Mattias takes her down with a GREETINGS FROM LIVERPOOL! Swinging Reverse STO connects, which puts Auburn down! He has the whole world in his hands now, and he’s taking full advantage of this! The crowd is chanting his name, and it’s clear he’s getting to her head! He’s going for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: No! Auburn is not going out that quickly, as Mattias looks up in disbelief! Now it’s her turn to make something happen, but it seems like Mattias is waiting for her to get up! He wants to win this match no matter what, and it’s starting to seem like he isn’t himself at all! He’s confused, angry and downright bitter! All that competitiveness is getting to him, but this might be the same thing that helps him win! Auburn might beat him too, so he has to make sure his way is what’s set in stone!
Eve: Auburn gets up, but it’s perfect timing as Mattias goes for a clothesline— NO! Auburn does a Headspring into an Elbow, which takes him out! Mattias is out and Auburn is trying to seize the opportunity here! She grabs him by the head and throws him into the turnbuckle, before sending repeated European Uppercuts into his jaw! The crowd doesn’t know who to root for right now, but they are loving every second of it! It’s getting intense at the perfect time too, as both try to build momentum for themselves here!
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely, the crowd is chanting her name, but this is quickly stopped when Mattias sends a headbutt into her nose! He leaps on the second rope, before putting her down with a Missile Dropkick! This is starting to look like a classic from these two youngsters, who, if they weren’t wrestling each other, would be dating right now! Aren’t they both in the same grade level or something? Anyways, Mattias is really pushing the pace here, as he sends repeated kicks at her, but she’s dodging some of them! It seems like she’s figured out the timing!
Deadprez: Indeed she has, which is making Mattias Burke frustrated! Auburn sees this and seizes her chance, ducking under and going for a Rolling Fireman’s Carry Slam! What a move from Auburn Ware, who calls this the Malibu Rising! What a devastating move, and Mattias did not clearly expect that at all! Now she’s going for the cover! Both legs are hooked, shoulders are down and the momentum might shift in her favour! Can she do it?
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Eve: NO! MATTIAS BURKE GETS UP JUST IN TIME AND HE’S GOT IT! Auburn Ware is looking on and she’s not disappointed! He’s panicking, and even though it’s not showing, you can feel his heart vibrating inside of his own chest, which is making him feel a sense of deeper urgency than ever! Auburn wraps her arm around his neck, as she goes for a Rear Naked Choke! She has a grip like an anaconda around that throat, which might lead into her victory here! Mattias is insane, though, as he doesn’t want to fade out just yet! He has some fight left in him, and Mattias hits her with an elbow to the side, before throwing her over with an Ippon Seoi Nage!
Gavin Kirkland: Both of them are seeing a deep fire in each other’s eyes! They know this is going to be the last few crucial minutes for the both of them, even if it may not be all that big right now! It’s starting to take effect, as the fatigue sets in and they’re breathing heavy! Mattias points to the centre of the ring, and it’s clear what’s about to take place! They begin trading shots at each other! Pure street fight going on here, but Mattias has a trick up his sleeve, he grabs her arm as he throws her down with an Uchi Mata! Devastating move by Mattias Burke here!
Deadprez: That little bastard had a plan in mind, that’s smart! He knew that Auburn was too tired to think, and took advantage of that as he might have the win secured here! Quite a smart move from him as she’s possibly caught off guard! Now she has the advantage in momentum secured right now! We might be witnessing a mean streak from Mattias Burke, something we have not seen from him! He goes for an armbar, and he has that arm wrenched!
Eve: Auburn is trying to fight out of it, but Mattias is putting her down with ease! She has no way to escape, but she knows that there is no way in hell that she is going to tap, not right now, especially not at this moment! Auburn tries to grip her arms, but she’s struggling to do so! Mattias might take the win here, but like we said, Auburn is one tough daughter of a gun! She grips her arms, and she’s trying to fight out of it! Auburn manages to roll and Mattias might have to transition it here!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s if he’s able to transition at all, Auburn is going for his face! Mattias is trying to separate it, but Auburn splits the legs and gets inside! Now she’s applying an arm triangle! Trying to take Mattias out with her submissions, but you can find that it’s going to be very difficult! However, her determination allows her to take his back, which is giving her a chance here! Mattias is trying to fight her arm off, but she might have it locked in! REDRUM! THE KATA HA JIME IS LOCKED IN, AND SHE MIGHT HAVE IT WON HERE! MATTIAS IS FEELING THE PAIN! HE TAPS!
(DING! DING! DING)
Gina Romano: AND YOUR WINNER, THE PRODIGY, AUBURN WARE!
Eve: What a match! Both of them showed their technical ability and their agility, but in the end, Auburn came out on top!
Deadprez: Another huge win for Auburn Ware over a very game Mattias Burke! What a bright future for both of these competitors!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh…. Auburn….
(“Lemme Do My Thing” by YACHT MONEY hits as the crowd goes berserk. In a good way, at least. Auburn walks out of the ring, not looking at Mattias Burke who’s being assisted as he is walked out of the ring through the backstage. She high fives some people in the crowd, before walking out of sight as the camera transitions backstage.)
(The camera switches backstage where we see Delilah Rose talking to Daryl Kinkade, the Team Captain of the Showdown Brand Warfare as they prepare for Territorial Invasion.)
Delilah Rose: What the bloody hell was that mate? You were supposed to announce me as your fifth member, you approached me last week and I thought it was a done deal?
Daryl Kinkade: That has been the plan the whole time, but for some reason, Candice comes out when she is already involved with Caroline to try and take your spot, but that is not going to happen. I already told her no; my decision is final and…..
(But before Daryl can finish, he is interrupted.)
???: Ahem….
(Daryl slowly turns around and sees none other than Heidi Huxley, the Disney Executive in charge of the Showdown Brand and right hand to Kennedy Street. )
Heidi Huxley: I hate to interrupt, I really do, but I need to clarify a few things here… because… well, Daryl you actually do have one more member on your team.
Daryl Kinkade: You are right, I do. So, what is there to clarify?
Heidi Huxley: Well…. Unfortunately for some, there is a quota that we have to meet here at Disney and with the bargaining agreement that we have with the EAW, Disney is allowed to make some booking decisions in that matter if they feel like it benefits the brand and Disney’s culture at the same time. You need to understand Daryl and Delilah, that’s rather cute…. You two would make a great….
Delilah Rose: NO.
Daryl Kinkade: Yeah, NO.
(Heidi rolls her eyes.)
Heidi Huxley: Fiiiiine. Anyways, I think the world of Delilah and she has a huge bright future in the EAW and on Showdown, but we actually have plans for her already at Territorial Invasion, because she is going to be one of the representatives of Showdown in the Divide and Conquer match.
(Delilah’s eyes widen some.)
Delilah Rose: But…. I was supposed to be the fifth member of Team Showdown Brand Warfare?
Heidi Huxley: Can you imagine, you lead your team of Showdown, Voltage and Dynasty talent against Showdown, Voltage and Dynasty talent in a 5 on 5 Elimination style match and if you win? Not only are you already getting a title opportunity with the Unique contract that you won a few weeks ago, but now you get to write your own plans pretty much to Kennedy, and she will give them to you. How does that sound?
(Delilah actually likes the sound of that as she nods and shakes Heidi’s hand.)
Delilah Rose: Okay… I’m in. Sorry love.
Daryl Kinkade: Wait…..
(Delilah doesn’t say another word and leaves. Daryl is there a bit dumbfounded as he turns toward Heidi Huxley.)
Daryl Kinkade: You put me in charge of being the Team Captain, that means I get to choose who I want on my team, love. I had Delilah pegged as the fifth member because I have wrestled her before and respect her game. Now, you come to me with some bollocks about this team needs to be fully represented by Disney and that there is some sort of agreement that allows you to step in and make changes? First of all, I don’t know what type of Mickey Mouse game we are playing here, but this is my team, and I am going to put out there the best one possible, lass.
Heidi Huxley: Yes, and I respect that one hundred percent, but we have a culture here, Daryl. Disney is a foundation that was built on entertainment and having a family grown business becoming a huge empire. I know that you have issues with that, but it is the Disney way. Matter of fact, I have scheduled that you go to Disney University and learn about our ways and culture, you will find it so informative and understand better the landscape of what we do as a company and community.
Daryl Kinkade: Disney what?
Heidi Huxley: Disney University. Anyway, we need to be properly represented and I have already made the decision with Kennedy’s blessing…. Well, she really didn’t have much say in this because it is all about Disney but after earlier, your fifth member is none other than…. PRINCESS CANDICE BLAIR!
(Daryl’s eyes narrow as Princess Candice walks in spinning around and sparkles flying out of her dress. She smiles and bats her eyelashes before breaking into a song…..)
Princess Candice: Daryl…. Ooooohhhhh Daryl…. Did you think I wouldn’t be a part of team? Well, that is just plain mean! Showdown is for…..
(Daryl shuts it right down….)
Daryl Kinkade: STOP! I bloody hate musicals and I am not going to listen to any of this anymore. I already heard enough earlier!
Princess Candice: Well…. That is just rude! Anyway, we will be just fine together because as your Team Captain….
Daryl: Kinkade: …. Okay shut your pie hole. First off, AGAIN, you are not the Team Captain, secondly the only reason you are even standing here in front of me is because of Heid Huxley. You are not on this team by choice! You are on this team because Disney pulled the executive order on me. Fars as I am concerned, you were forced on us and you better just fall in line and do your part, that is all I am saying.
(He then turns to Heidi.)
Daryl Kinkade: If this git costs us at Territorial Invasion, that is all on you, Heidi.
Heidi Huxley: We will be fine.
(Daryl goes to walk out but Candice stops him.)
Princess Candice: I’m going to need you to turn that frown upside down, like right now mister!
(Daryl arches an eyebrow.)
Princess Candice: We are a team that has everything now on it and you are not going to dampen our spirits, or else I am going to start calling you Ron DeSantis! Disney is in charge around here and that makes me the perfect Team Captain. Just open your heart Daryl and let the magic in!
Daryl Kinkade: Oh, for fucks sake, shut up.
(Not another word, Daryl storms off Leaving Heidi and Candice both shocked at the language he just used.)
Princess Candice: OH, MY GOODNESS! LANGUAGE! THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!
(Princess Candice scoffs as Heidi just shakes her head. The camera fades to ringside.)
(‘Trepanation’ by Millennium Parade hits over the PA system, as IDOL-GUN, Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai step out onto the stage. They pause to take in the reaction from the crowd, but they don’t hesitate for long and begin the walk down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Deadprez: Things kicking off here… IDOL-GUN heading to the ring, and it seems like they are walking with a purpose.
Eve: No surprise there. Miku and Hikari must have reformed for a purpose. And I dare hazard a bet that the purpose is the Unified Tag Team Championships.
Gavin Kirkland: A bet huh… would you wager your underwear?
Eve: Eww, trust you to drag the conversation down
Gavin Kirkland: You offered a bet, I took it.
Eve: Like the pervert that you are…
Deadprez: If you two are finished?
Gavin Kirkland: I would be if…
Eve: Do not finish that sentence Gavin or so help me I will not be responsible for my actions.
(The camera pans back to IDOL-GUN who have now made it to the ring, both sliding under the bottom rope and getting to their feet, pacing the ring before Miku grabs a couple of microphones, passing on to Hikari. Miku then holds up her hand, and the music fades, the crowd once again giving them a huge reaction.)
Miku Sakai: Thank you… you’ve all made your feelings towards us well known, simps!
(Another huge cheer greets that comment, but Miku doesn’t hesitate.)
Miku Sakai: Usually, a reaction like that would have put us both in a good mood. But we are NOT in a good mood!
Hikari Kanno: No, we are not. And nor should we be either. Whilst we were separated, the Tag team division descended into turmoil. A division that was once about honor, was diluted into a mess of egos and grandstanding. We sat back, and we watched… and they we realized that only IDOL-GUN can clean up the mess. Enough is enough, we are back on Showdown, and we are ready to drop the challenge.
(The crowd begins to talk amongst themselves, wondering what the challenge could be.)
Gavin Kirkland: A challenge to who?
Deadprez: Be quiet for five seconds Gavin and you might just find out.
(Miku takes up the narrative again, and Hikari looks out over the crowd.)
Miku Sakai: Without question, there is one group that has degenerated OUR division to the pitiful state it is today. One group that without question, needs to be stopped. Hikari and I have seen enough of them to understand that they must be taken to task for their actions, interfering in almost every match. That’s why Serenity and Halsey Neel, IDOL-GUN, are challenging you both to a match at Territorial Invasion.
(The crowd reacts predictably, IDOL-GUN very much the crowd favorite at this point. Hikari and Miku share a smile and say something inaudible to each other.)
Deadprez: WOW… IDOL-GUN coming straight out the blocks and not messing around. They want Devolution, and they are not waiting any longer.
Eve: Adam Lucas said that they were making too many enemies… and it looks like he may have been right.
Hikari Kanno: So, what do you say Serenity? You seem to do a lot of Halsey’s talking for her. Do you have what it takes to step up to the challenge of one of the most dominant Tag teams in Elite Answers Wrestling’s history?
Miku Sakai: Or are you every bit the bitches we believe you are…
(‘Bringin’ Home the Rain’ by the Builders and the Butchers kicks in for a few bars, as the Off-Brand Amphetamines walk out onto the stage, microphones already in hand. Miku and Hikari look confused in the ring, as Solomon and Kirk walk down the ramp towards them.)
Deadprez: Not the tag team whose attention they really wanted, but it seems like the OBA have a little something to say as well.
Eve: If IDOL-GUN wants a challenge at Territorial Invasion, they may be about to get one.
(The OBA stop at the bottom of the ropes, and tell IDOL-GUN to back off, which they respectfully do. Kirk and Solomon then enter the ring, as their music fades.)
Deadprez: This could be about to get very interesting. Two Tag teams both with their eyes on Gold and knowing that a victory over the other could give them that opportunity.
Kirk Redwood: Sorry to interrupt, but I reckon Solomon and I heard you throwing out challenges.
Hikari Kanno: Not for the two of you… but your apology is accepted.
Solomon Stane: Well, regrettably I have to inform you, Devolution are far removed from being anything like the pinnacle of tag team wrestling. If you truly want a challenge, then you are looking at it. Halsey and Serenity are just your usual fly by night duo that by the end of this season will cease to exist.
Kirk Redwood: If you want the real deal… then you are looking at it. We are the premiere team on Showdown, end of conversation.
(Both Miku and Hikari laugh, obviously amused by what OBA have to say.)
Miku Sakai: I have to admit, the two of you are very entertaining. A comedic act if ever there is one.
Hikari Kanno: Miku is right, how can you stand there with a straight face and say those things, when you were just handed your ass by POTARA.
Solomon Stane: That was a fluke, everyone knows we had them beat.
Miku Sakai: I don’t have an opinion on that. What I do have an opinion on is you LOST, and so therefore you go to the back of the line. Which makes you not worth our time…
Kirk Redwood: Be careful with your tongue there, I’d hate for us to take exception to anything you have to say.
Hikari Kanno: Our challenge still stands, we don’t want the other leftovers, we want…
(‘Master of Puppets’ by Metallica kicks in, and Halsey Neel and Serenity Valdez walk out onto the stage to one of the loudest boos of the night. They are not fazed by it, not in the slightest, and both conduct the crowd, making them boo even louder still. It is Serenity who interrupts them, and their music.)
Serenity Valdez: Wow… you guys really don’t have much of an opinion of us, do you? Don’t answer that, it’s a rhetorical question.
Hikari Kanno: And it’s also an obvious answer…
Kirk Redwood: We don’t
Serenity Valdez: Be as that may, Halsey and I were having a little chuckle at your back and forth and thought we may as well join the party. After all, it isn’t a party without Devolution
Halsey Neel: It goes without saying that the four of you are losers, that are not worth our time. However, as it stands, we don’t have anything to do during the Territorial Invasion… so you know what, we’ll entertain the challenge.
Serenity Valdez: So, IDOL-GUN, it will be our pleasure to put your overrated tag team on the shelf… Kirk, Solomon… like they say, back of the line for the two of you.
Halsey Neel: Hikari… Miku, we’ll see you at…
(The tron whirrs into life, all eyes turning towards the big screen. A mixture of boos and cheers fill the arena as Kennedy Street’s face forms. She waves towards the camera, before she starts to speak.)
Kennedy Street: Well isn’t this just perfect Honey. Three teams, all claiming to be the best, and nothing to do at Territorial Invasion. So, you know what I’m thinking? Triple Threat, Falls Count Anywhere. Have fun.
(Kennedy fades, as the three teams all look at each other.)
Hikari Kanno: Miku and I will be there.
Solomon Stane: The OBA wouldn’t miss it for the world!
(Serenity grins, nodding towards Halsey who nods as well.)
Serenity Valdez: Two teams for the price of one… count us in. It will be our pleasure if you put BOTH of you in your place and show the world why WE are the ones to challenge POTARA.
Halsey Neel: The ONLY ones…
(Master of Puppets kicks in again, as Devolution takes their leave. The OBA slides out the ring, and make their way up the ramp, leaving IDOL-GUN in the ring.)
Deadprez: Once again Showdown hitting and hitting hard. That’s going to be quite the match.
Gavin Kirkland: Of course, it is… it’s Kennedy’s idea. And she only has GOOD ideas Honey.
(The camera focuses on IDOL-GUN before the scene cuts away to an ad for Territorial Invasion.)
( Showdown returns to the Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway, with the crowd seated for the upcoming competition. Gina Romano could be seen standing at the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand, looking bright and shiny as she prepares to announce the next competition. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Hitoiro No Hanabira’ by Stereopony begins playing throughout the arena, and a loud cheer from the crowd erupts as KASAI and Nikki Kimura, the Cosmic Captains, walk out together. They strike poses for the crowd on the stage before heading down the straight path to the ring. Nikki goes up to the apron and holds the ropes open for her partner as KASAI slowly gets inside. Nikki then jumps over the top three ropes to enter the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… COMBINED WEIGHTS OF 265 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF KASAI AND NIKKI KIMURA!… THEY ARE!…. COSMIC CAPTAINSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( KASAI and Nikki stand at their corner and talk to each other, then ‘The Day’ by Porno Graffitti replaces their theme music as the facial expressions of the Cosmic Captains change, entering Idol Gun. Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai join each other’s side once again, both women walking out together. They seem like best buds once again. Hikari and Miku walk down the aisle together and head straight to the ring. )
Gina Romano: THEIR OPPONENTS!…. COMBINED WEIGHTS OF 231 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF MIKU SAKAI AND HIKARI KANNO!… THEY ARE!…. IDOL GUNSSSSSSSSSSSS!
( Both women go into the ring, and both teams come face to face with each other. KASAI and Hikari Kanno send their companions back, creating space to come face to face with each other. Miku heads down to the apron as well as Nikki Kimura from their respective corners, leaving KASAI and Hikari Kanno standing toe to toe against each other. They stand there for a moment before both women slowly step away from each other and move to stand by their team’s corners. )
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: You already know what this is all about, guys! It always gets me hyped the most whenever I see this on my screen or on my TV, when I sit with my little cousins and watch this. This is the most-watched thing that you will ever get. This, right here, ladies and gentlemen, is the true Joshi experience wrestling match that Showdown has representing us here tonight! I have been waiting for these two teams to clash and collide as well! The reunion of Idol Guns taking on Cosmic Captains, who have arrived on the scene of Joshi wrestling lately and are looking to shine the brightest on the blue brand! I can’t wait to see how this goes and how everything is going to unfold for us all! This is Joshi Wrestling, don’t you guys feel excited as well?
Eve: Yes, we’re pretty excited to see how these two teams will come and bring their chemistry to this match here tonight, and HERE WE GO! IT’S ALREADY STARTING HERE! KASAI AND HIKARI KANNO, THE TWO LEGAL COMPETITORS WHO KICK THIS MATCH OFF, ARE GOING AT EACH OTHER! RIGHT HAND FROM KASAI! RIGHT HAND FROM HIKARI! BOTH WOMEN ARE TRADING BLOWS RIGHT AT EACH OTHER AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! KASAI PUSHES HIKARI AWAY AND LIFTS OFF TO CRASH BODY WITH HER!
Deadprez: OH YEAH, BABY! HIKARI SLIPS BELOW AND RISES BACK UP ON HER FEET, WHIRLING AROUND AND HUNTING FOR A ROLLING STRIKE. YET, KASAI NIMBLY ELUDES THE FORMER AS WELL, DARTING TOWARDS THE ROPES AND SPRINGING BACK AT HIKARI LIKE A BOUNCING BALL! HIKARI TAKES A DETOUR AS WELL, PROMPTING KASAI TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES!
Eve: KASAI TAKES THE HIGH ROAD WITH HIKARI REBOUNDING AND NEARLY COMES CRASHING INTO HER FROM THE FLANK! HIKARI PULLS A FAST ONE AS WELL AND GETS A GRIP ON KASAI, HURLING HER TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE ROPES, AND NOW HIKARI LETS LOOSE WITH A SWEEPING CLOTHESLINE! KASAI SWERVES DOWN AND SWIFTLY ROLLS HIKARI INTO A PIN AS SOON AS SHE CAN! SHE SNAPS IT UP, ATTEMPTING TO STEAL THE WIN IN A FLASH!
ONEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: HIKARI KICKS OUT AT ONE AS SOON AS KASAI MANAGES TO PUT BOTH OF HER SHOULDERS DOWN ON THE GROUND! HIKARI SWIRLS BACK UP ON HER FEET, WHILE KASAI QUICKLY AIMS RIGHT BACK AT HIKARI! KASAI DELIVERS A QUICK SPIN KICK TO THE GUT, RETURNING BACK AROUND AND LOOKING TO SLAM DOWN THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM THE SIDE TO THE HEAD OF HIKARI KANNO!
Eve: HIKARI SIDE STEPS, THROWS A RIGHT HOOK ACROSS HER CHEEK, GRABS HER AND DISPATCHES KASAI TOWARDS THE ROPES! HIKARI TAILS HER FROM THE REAR AND LANDS A SOLID BIG BOOT TO KASAI’S JAW, CAUSING HER TO DANGLE FROM THE ROPES!
Deadprez: HIKARI EASES OFF SLIGHTLY, THEN SNATCHES KASAI WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE, HAULING HER TOWARDS THE FAR SIDE OF THE RING! HIKARI HOISTS HER BOOT, AIMING TO DELIVER ANOTHER HEAD-TO-HEAD SHOWDOWN! KASAI HALTS AND SEIZES THE LEG RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE RING!… WHIRLING HIKARI AROUND, THE BACKSTABBER STRIKES HOME! SHE CLEAVES HIKARI’S BACKBONE IN TWO WITH THE IMPACT OF BOTH KNEES!
Gavin Kirkland: There’s already been total chaos in this competition so far, but KASAI manages to handle the rest of the dilemma in this competition and stands tall against the former Unified Tag Team Champion! It’s amazing to be watching from KASAI here! I know my girl KASAI has always been strong like that in her game, with her age that high and a lot of experience that she holds after traveling across the road. I have no doubt that she could really kill it in this confrontation and might finally bring victory to the Cosmic Captains! KASAI knows, back up to both feet, and slowly grabs Hikari back upon her feet with her. KASAI slowly puts Hikari right back into the corner, stepping back a little and delivering A CHOP across the chest of Hikari Kanno!
Eve: The Huntress continues to hold the reins in this match and lowers herself to Hikari’s height. What could KASAI be plotting at this juncture? KASAI hoists Hikari off the canvas once more and propels her towards the opposite corner. She rockets herself out of the corner, swooping around where she nails Hikari with a chop! KASAI pivots and sprints towards that corner, seemingly poised for a collision with Hikari in that precise spot!
Deadprez: THE DREAMING IDOL HAS FINALLY AWAKENED FROM HER FLEETING REVERIE, PROPELLING HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER AND TAKING KASAI DOWN AT THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, SENDING KASAI SPRAWLING TO THE MAT! KASAI CLUTCHES HER JAW AND REGAINS HER FOOTING, BUT HIKARI IS ALREADY MOVING, POSITIONING HERSELF AT KASAI’S SIDE! ….. A THRUST KICK LEAVING KASAI BRIEFLY FLOORED! ONE-HALF OF THE COSMIC CAPTAINS ARE DOWN ON THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THERE’S HIKARI KANNO! The former EAW Hardcore Champion has just taken down one of her adversaries in this contest with a move like that! Hikari always stands as the one who needs to come out on top, regardless of how tough her opponents may want to think! Let’s not forget, when it comes to tag team action, Hikari might truly be the best. Last year at Territorial Invasion, she joined forces alongside Minerva and Drake King to secure the Anarchy in the Arena victory for Voltage brand’s supremacy! Isn’t it incredible how time flies? Looking back, it’s been almost a year since the Territorial Invasion last year!
Deadprez: Hikari is now back on top of her game, picking KASAI off the ground and dragging her all the way down to the corner of her team where Miku has already been standing, eager and ready for the perfect moment for Hikari to make a tag with her!….
Gavin Kirkland: WOAH, HANG ON! KASAI DOESN’T HESITATE AS SHE GOES TOWARD THE CORNER AND SHE JUST JAMS A RIGHT HAND INTO THE FACE OF HIKARI KANNO! HIKARI STAGGERS BACK AWAY, AND MIKU DOESN’T EVEN SEE THAT COMING, WITH KASAI SPRINTING RIGHT IMMEDIATELY, SENDING MIKU OFF THE APRON AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A KNEE LIFT RIGHT INTO HER NOSE! MIKU GOES FLYING OFF THE APRON AND ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR JUST LIKE THAT!
Eve: THE HUNTRESS SUDDENLY BURSTS WITH A DETERMINED RUSH TO PICK UP THE PACE AGAINST IDOL GUNS IN THIS MOTION GOES UP AND PLACES HIKARI AGAINST THE CORNER, TRYING TO COME AND FIGHT BACK WITH HER. HIKARI RUNS BACK IN, AND SHE LOOKS TO THRUST THE KNEE RIGHT INTO THE FACE AND BLAST KASAI WITH IT! KASAI CATCHES THE KNEE IN TIME AND IMMEDIATELY BENDS HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IS KASAI PLANNING THERE WHEN SHE GOT HIKARI IN THAT POSITION?…. KASAI POPS HIKARI OFF THE SHOULDERS, SPINNING HER AROUND IN MID-AIR AND NECKBREAKER SENDS IDOL GUNS DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Eve: NIKKI KIMURA HAS ALREADY BEEN WAITING FOR KASAI TO MAKE A TAG AND GET HER BACK INSIDE! MIKU RECOVERS IN TIME AND NOW QUICKLY CALLS HER PARTNER IN TO MAKE A TAG WITH HER AS WELL! BOTH SIDES ARE NEAR CRAWLING TO THE RESPECTIVE CORNERS OF THEIR TEAMS, AND THEY BOTH LOOK TO MAKE A TAG AT THE SAME TIME HERE!
( DOUBLE TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: A TAG HAS BEEN MADE AT THE SAME TIME, AND MIKU AND NIKKI ENTER THE RING, READY TO COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER! MIKU RUSHES RIGHT AT NIKKI AND TRIES TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A QUICK KICK, BUT NIKKI HANDSPRINGS TO THE SIDE, LEAVING MIKU PERPLEXED BY HER QUICK REACTION! NIKKI LANDS BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND RIGHT BEHIND MIKU! MIKU TURNS BACK IN A HURRY, BUT SHE IS MET BY THE DROPKICK TO BOTH MIKU’S LEGS, TAKING HER DOWN AND SENDING HER FACE CRASHING TO THE GROUND!
Eve: NIKKI NOW HAS THE FORMER SPECIALIST CHAMPION DOWN ON THE CANVAS AND QUICKLY PICKS NIKKI UP, USING HER SPECIALIZED GRAPPLING TO POSITION HER IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT, LIFTING HER UP FOR A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! MIKU REFUSES TO GO DOWN INTO THE SAME TRAP THAT NIKKI PLANNED AND MANAGED TO WRIGGLE OUT OF HER HOLD, BOTH FEET HITTING THE GROUND AFTER STRUGGLING OUT OF THE HOLD!
Deadprez: NIKKI MISSES THE BOAT ON SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT BEFORE HER EYES AND PROMPTLY HIGHTAILS IT BACK TOWARDS MIKU, AIMING TO BRING HER DOWN IN A JIFFY! MIKU JUMPS INTO ACTION AND BRINGS NIKKI CRASHING TO THE CANVAS WITH A RAPID JUMPING SNAPMARE, DRIVING NIKKI’S HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!
Deadprez: NIKKI JUST HANDSTANDS AND FLIPS OUT FROM THE HOLD! HOW DID SHE EVEN PULL THAT OUT? IS THIS WOMAN SPIDER-MAN OR SOMETHING? MIKU DOESN’T EVEN HAVE AN IDEA, BUT SHE’S SEEN ENOUGH OF WHAT NIKKI INTENDS TO DO AT THIS POINT. GOING BEHIND HER AND LANDING A QUICK KICK RIGHT INTO NIKKI’S GUT, SEIZING HER IN AND LOOKING TO DROP NIKKI WITH A DDT!
Eve: NIKKI TURNS THE TABLES ON MIKU ONCE AGAIN AND SENDS HER SOARING OFF THE APRON! MIKU LANDS ON BOTH FEET AND QUICKLY HUSTLES OVER TO NIKKI. NIKKI MAKES A DASH AND AIMS TO NAIL HER WITH A DROPKICK! MIKU SPEEDS AWAY TO THE SIDE AND LEAVES NIKKI UP IN THE AIR, PLUNGING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH! MIKU HURLS HERSELF BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES, SPEEDING TOWARDS NIKKI!… A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB PLANTS NIKKI TO THE MAT! MIKU SAKAI COVERS HER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: NIKKI KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: DON’T EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE ANCHOR! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL NIKKI KEEPS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH IN THE RING. THERE HASN’T BEEN A SHADOW OF DOUBT ABOUT THIS TEAM AND THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL THEY POSSESS IN THIS COMPETITION. THAT SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB IS AN ABSOLUTE GAME-CHANGER. WHAT’S YOUR TAKE, MIKU? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MIKU, BUT THERE’S STILL MORE ELBOW GREASE YOU NEED TO INVEST, BABE!
Eve: I’M SURE MIKU KNOWS THAT TOO GAVIN! SHE ISN’T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING DONE TANGLING WITH NIKI AT THE MOMENT. SHE’S HOISTING NIKI OFF THE MAT AND NOW, MIKU HAS NIKI PERCHED ON HER SHOULDER, GEARING UP FOR HER SIGNATURE MOVE – THE BRONCO BUSTER SHE DUBS THE ‘MUSTACHE RIDE’!
Deadprez: MIKU MAY KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE THERE, BUT NIKI IS ALSO SURE OF WHAT’S COMING FROM HER! SHE ESCAPES AND LANDS BOTH FEET BEHIND MIKU! SHE DODGES AND THEN SUDDENLY HAS MIKU IN HOLD, SENDING MIKU REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES BACK TO HER! MIKU, STIRRING UP, GOES FOR A RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER ON HER! NIKKI MANAGES TO SIDESTEP AND RUSHES TO THE ROPES, LANDS ON THEM, JUMPS OVER, AND THEN ROLLS MIKU UP INTO A JACKKNIFE POSITION! NIKI CATCHES MIKU OFF GUARD ONCE AGAIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU KICKS OUT AGAIN! MIKU IS JUST SO CLOSE TO PICKING UP AN ‘L’ THAT’S BEEN GIVEN BY NIKKI THERE, BUT NIKKI KNOWS WELL THAT MIKU WOULDN’T GO DOWN THAT EASILY! MIKU PICKS HERSELF OFF THE CANVAS QUICKLY AND CHARGES AT NIKKI. NIKKI DUCKS UNDER THE KICK, HOOKING HER ARMS AND MAKES A BID TO COIL MIKU INTO ANOTHER ROLL-UP, YET MIKU COUNTERS BY REVERSING THE ROLL-UP MOVE THAT NIKKI INITIATED! MIKU LIFTS BOTH HER LEGS CLEAR OFF THE MAT WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT AGAINST NIKKI! SHE GOES A ROLL-UP ON NIKKI!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
Gavin Kirkland: WOAH! WOAH! NIKKI KICKS OUT! SHE KICKS OUT! IT’S NOT OVER, FOLKS!
Eve: NIKKI RISES FROM THE GROUND ON BOTH FEET, AS DOES MIKU, WHO FAILS TO PUT HER DOWN IN THE QUICKEST SNAP OF FINGERS! BOTH WOMEN CLASH AGAINST EACH OTHER. NIKKI SEARCHES FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE BUT MIKU DUCKS BENEATH IT AND SHE GOES BEHIND, PROPELLING NIKKI TOWARDS THE ROPES!
Deadprez: MIKU SPRINTS TOWARDS NIKKI, CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING FOREARM, AND LEAVING NIKKI SUSPENDED BY THE ROPES! NIKKI STUNS, MIKU PULLS HER OUT OF THE CORNER, AND LEAPS BACK AT HER WITH BOTH LEGS SPREAD OUT, LANDING BETWEEN NIKKI’S LEGS, FOLDING HER OVER AND SNATCHING NIKKI’S HEAD, DROPPING HERSELF TO THE GROUND AND DRIVING NIKKI’S FACE TO THE MAT WITH A WHEELBARROW BULLDOG!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WHEELBARROW BULLDOG LOOKS SIMPLY PICTURE-PERFECT, WHICH MIGHT OPEN THE GATEWAY FOR IDOL GUNS TO TAKE CENTER STAGE IN ALL THEIR GLORY THERE! NIKKI IS DOWN, WITH MIKU ALREADY HAVING EVERYTHING UNDER HER CONTROL. NOW, PULLING NIKKI OFF THE CANVAS SO SMOOTHLY, AS IF SHE’S LIFTING A FEATHER OFF THE GROUND, IN A PECULIAR MANNER. OH, THAT’S IT, SHE’S AIMING FOR THAT SIGNATURE MOVE THAT HAS BEEN WRECKING OPPONENTS’ NECKS TIME AND TIME AGAIN! NIKKI IS ABOUT TO BECOME ONE OF THEM!
Eve: ‘STARFALL’ VERTEBREAKER! IT PLANTS! NIKKI IS DOWN! MIKU HOOKS THE LEG FOR A WIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT BY KASAI BREAKING UP A PIN! KASAI SAVES HER PARTNER FROM LOSING!
Deadprez: HIKARI SAW KASAI JUST CREATED A DISTRACTION, AND SHE RETURNS TO THEIR RING APRON TO APPEASE THE HUNTRESS HEELS! HIKARI JUMPS IN AND LASHES OUT WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE SIDE OF KASAI’S HEAD, HOISTING HER OFF THE MAT AND PROPELLING HER OVER THE ROPES, SPILLING HER ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR! KASAI TAKES A TUMBLE TO THE EXTERIOR! HIKARI SHADOWS KASAI TO THE FLOOR AND ALMOST SPRINGS OFF THE RING EDGE, BUT KASAI TAKES THE UPPER HAND AND SHOVES UP THE APRON, SNARING HIKARI—SHE’S GOT HIKARI IN A PINCH!
Gavin Kirkland: HURRICANRANA SENDS KASAI FLYING OFF THE APRON TOGETHER WITH HIKARI!
Eve: NO! HOLD ON! HIKARI REFUSES TO LET THAT HAPPEN, AND SHE JUST HAS KASAI IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION! HIKARI SENDS KAISA DOWN ON BOTH FEET AS SHE MANAGES TO LAND ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE! KAISA RUSHES BACK, BUT HIKARI CATCHES KAISA WITH A BOOT TO HER FACE! HIKARI IMMEDIATELY GOES UP TO PICK UP A FIGHT WITH KASAI, LIFTING HER OFF HER FEET AND ATTEMPTING A QUICK BARRICADE TOSS, BUT KASAI RESISTS AND SENDS HIKARI RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE INSTEAD! HIKARI IS DOWN AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, LOOK BACK INTO THE RING! MIKU HAS ALREADY SECURED THE HIGH GROUND, BIDING HER TIME FOR NIKKI TO RESURRECT ON HER OWN TWO FEET! OH DEAR, NIKKI’S IN HOT WATER! THAT’S THE GAME-CHANGING MOVE THAT MIGHT WRAP UP THE MATCH AGAINST HER, AND KASAI IS STILL IN THE DARK ABOUT IT!
Eve: NO! KASAI GETS WIND OF THE POTENTIAL TROUBLE FOR HER PARTNER, AND SHE BEGINS THROWING SMOKE AND MIRRORS AT NIKKI, ATTEMPTING TO LEAD HER AWAY FROM THE CONTEST! MIKU IS ON THE VERGE OF TAKING OFF WITH NIKKI STUCK IN A RUT! SUDDENLY, MIKU GIVES KASAI THE BOOT, AND NOW SHE LEAPS INTO ACTION! SHE’S ON THE PROWL FOR THE ‘WALK OF SHAME’ DIVING CORKSCREW CUTTER!
Deadprez: NIKKI RUNS UP TO THE SECOND ROPE TO INTERCEPT!….
Deadprez: GOODNESS GRACIOUS! AVALANCHE POISONRANA! SHE SENDS MIKU HURTLING FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, DRIVING HER HEADFIRST INTO THE MAT WITH THE POISONRANA! NIKKI COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI IS STRIVING TO EVADE THAT SITUATION, BUT HIKARI BARELY MANEUVERS HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME AND NUDGES NIKKI AWAY FROM HER PARTNER! THE REFEREE’S COUNT IS STILL ON ITS JOURNEY TO REACH THE ELUSIVE COUNT OF THREE! :whew:
Eve: KASAI REENTERS THE RING AND LAUNCHES AN ASSAULT ON HIKARI, WHO HAD JUST PUT A HALT TO COSMIC CAPTAIN’S VICTORY IN JAW-DROPPING STYLE! KASAI GOES ALL OUT, PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AS SHE STOMPS AND PUNCHES HIKARI! KASAI LIFTS HIKARI FROM THE CANVAS, AIMING TO WRAP UP THIS SHOWDOWN WITH THE ‘BURNING EMPRESS’ HELL’S GATE SUBMISSION HOLD, SEALING THE DEAL!
Gavin Kirkland: NO NO NO NO! HIKARI LIFTS HER OFF THE GROUND ONTO HER SHOULDERS!…. HAMMERLOCK BACK SUPLEX INTO MICHINOKU DRIVER II! BOOK OF THE END BY HIKARI SPIKES KASAI TO THE GROUND!
Eve: NIKKI HIT THE GROUND RUNNING, AND SHE GOES FULL STEAM AHEAD AT HIKARI, SEIZING BOTH WRISTS OF HIAKRI OFF THE GROUND, AIMING FOR THE KAMIGOYEN KNEE STRIKE. BUT HIKARI SIDESTEPS HER MOVE, SWINGING AND MISSING!
Deadprez: SHE CHANGES TACK, HEADING TOWARDS MIKU WHO’S STANDING BY, ALREADY BEHIND HIKARI INSTEAD!… ‘CUCK KILLER’ CODEBREAKER BY MIKU!… HIKARI FROM BEHIND PICKS HER OFF MIKU’S KNEES!…. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ‘ALLELUIA’ NOTHERN LIGHTS BOMB PLANTS NIKKI! THAT SHOULD BE IT! MIKU HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!…. HIKARI KANNO AND MIKU SAKAI!… IDOL-GUN!
Gavin Kirkland: Joshi Wrestling is the best thing in the world! I told you guys that this is going to be something to watch, and these women didn’t disappoint us at all! With Idol Gun reuniting here once again and claiming their victory, you know damn well who’s the real deal when it comes to their tag team competition!
Eve: That’s surely a very interesting match to be watching, Gavin! I am what we have just seen, I have no doubt why Idol Gun has been known as the former Unified Tag Team Champion and earned their respect from all around the world. I am always glad they both are able to do categories as well! From now on, we are going to keep our eyes on what could Idol-Gun be heading for, with Territorial Invasion heading for us as well!
( ‘The Day’ by Porno Graffitti plays as Miku and Hikaru stand next to each other, looking tired but they both fistbump with each other. Nikki rolls to the outside with Kai checking her out and signaling Nikki’s okay before slowly carrying her back to the back, while Idol Gun remains celebrating their victory in the ring before the Showdown fades backstage. )
(Showdown faded backstage and towards Kennedy’s office, right now she was actually doing work and focusing on her laptop as she let out a sigh and she quickly turned over towards AJAX who was busy…well, mostly just staring at the door and doing his job of being a bodyguard. Kennedy ended up turning towards AJAX as she quickly spoke up.)
Kennedy Street: AJAX, honey, what time is it right now?
AJAX: Hmmmm…8:50 PM.
(Kennedy’s eyes widened slightly as she heard that, it was almost time for her break. Oh no. Kennedy quickly got up out of her chair and she turned towards AJAX.)
Kennedy Street: Alright, help me here quickly with this AJAX!
(Kennedy and AJAX left her office for a moment before coming back with a bucket of water, she opened the door to her office slightly and she ordered AJAX to put the bucket on top of the door as she rushed back to sit down in her chair and she looked over with an evil smile on her face.)
AJAX: So what do you have planned now this time?
Kennedy Street: Well, pretty simple but effective what Kennie planned here, when he opens the door, the bucket is going to end up falling on him, I am going to briefly laugh at him, blame on what happened on someone else and then he has to go change into something else and that way, I have some time to enjoy my break!
AJAX: You know, you can just yell at him and tell him to not bother you while you are on break.
(Kennedy rolls her eyes for a moment when hearing that as she turns to look at AJAX and stops looking towards the door.)
Kennedy Street: Do you think he will actually listen to what I have to say?
AJAX: …Good point.
Kennedy Street: Exactly, that is why this is the best plan that Kennie has to make sure I enjoy my break on peace and I don’t have to bother with-
Lucas Johnson: Hey Kennedy, it’s me, Lucas Johnson.
(Kennedy snapped her head back at an insane speed as she saw that somehow, someway, Lucas ended up entering her office without any problem, she turned towards the top of the door and her jaw dropped seeing the bucket was still up there! He was able to open the door without making the bucket drop? HOW?! Lucas continued to talk while Kennedy continued looking over in shock wondering how the hell was Lucas able to pull that kind of thing off.)
Lucas Johnson: Sorry I ended up coming a little bit earlier than normal before your break, I just really wanted to talk about what happened.
(Kennedy seemingly snapped back into paying attention as she heard that from Lucas and a lot of confusion appeared in her expression.)
Kennedy Street: Honey, you do know very well that you are supposed to talk to me DURING my work hours? Not when I am on break?
Lucas Johnson: But aren’t you more free when you are on your break?
Kennedy Street: …I-…YOU-…
(Kennedy was really trying her best to not slam her hand on her desk or on Lucas’ face as she took a deep breath in and out and she put on the fakest smile she could as she quickly responded to Lucas.)
Kennedy Street: What is on your mind, honey? 🙂
Lucas Johnson: I don’t know honestly, I feel a little bummed out after I couldn’t beat Jon out there for the National Elite Championship, it was my first time in a year that I was able to get a championship shot like that and I ended up blowing it, I felt like I was really close at some points of getting it too but I just couldn’t do it…
Kennedy Street: I…see. Well, don’t worry, you and I are used to that happening, you will be totally fine, which is why you were given an Unique Opportunity and-
Lucas Johnson: MAN, I LET YOU DOWN!
(Kennedy stops talking and she looks incredibly annoyed as Lucas seemingly starts to exagerate and make things more dramatic as he continues to speak.)
Lucas Johnson: I ended up losing another title opportunity like that and I feel like I let you down after you gave me an opportunity like that, but I promise you, I am not going to let these losses define me for the person that I am, let me tell you, I am going to win another opportunity, and then another, and then another after that, even ANOTHER after that one if I need to until I am able to get another title in my hands, I am going to make every online fan that I have proud and I am going to call myself THE CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE-
Kennedy Street: OH MY GOSH, SHUT UPPPPP!
(Lucas quickly stops talking and looks over to Kennedy in a confused manner as Kennedy was genuinely close to reaching the limit of her patience and she responded to Lucas.)
Kennedy Street: Lucas, you got it all wrong. No honey…that was not your Unique Opportunity.
Lucas Johnson: Wait, it was not? :oh:
Kennedy Street: Of course it isn’t!
(Lucas was pretty surprised and dumbfounded after hearing that the title match he had with Jon Kelton wasn’t his Unique Opportunity at all, but then that confusion ended up turning into excitement.)
Lucas Johnson: Wait, so you are telling me…that my Unique Opportunity is BIGGER than a title match?
Kennedy Street: Yeah, I guess you could say that-
Lucas Johnson: THANK YOU KENNEDY! Seriously, I thought it was all over just a few seconds ago and I wouldn’t get another title shot for another year but that genuinely makes me very happy to hear!
Kennedy Street: Good to know honey, but seriously-
Lucas Johnson: I am going to fight to the end no matter what with the opportunity that I have, I am not going to let you down again like I did tonight and Lucas Johnson’s name will be etched upon all of the starts in the sky, Lucas Johnson will climb up thousands of mountains, swim across all of the oceans in the world and even FLY if I have to do it, but I swear in mankind and everything that exists, that Lucas Johnson will succeed with his Unique Opportunity-
AJAX: Dude, you are annoying and stupid!
Lucas Johnson: OH RIGHT, THAT REMINDS ME! Just before I forget, I actually ended up bringing a gift for you, AJAX!
(AJAX and Kennedy end up looking confused when hearing that kind of thing, turning to each other for a moment before looking back at Lucas Johnson.)
Kennedy Street: Are you serious, honey?
Lucas Johnson: As serious as Lucas Johnson can get, I know that me and AJAX ended up starting out with the left foot when we first met and I wanted to make it up to him by giving him a gift, so here you go my dude!
(Lucas quickly looked through his pockets before pulling out a small box that was wrapped around in gift wrapping, he put it on AJAX’s hands and AJAX looked over to Kennedy worried since well…Lucas Johnson was Lucas Johnson.)
Kennedy Street: Just open it AJAX, you are a big guy, you can tank it.
(AJAX looked down at the gift for a moment, took a deep breath in and out, and then opened it to see…it was just a bottle of cologne. AJAX took it out and looked at it confused for a moment.)
AJAX: Is this really my gift?
Lucas Johnson: Yeah! A battle of cologne so you can smell as manly as beautiful roses and get all of the ladies to notice you-
AJAX: Are you genuinely serious? Why would you give me this?
Lucas Johnson: …Uh, dude, it is just cologne-
AJAX: JUST cologne? Huh? ARE YOU SAYING I SMELL BAD?
Lucas Johnson: NO MAN, THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT I-
(And before Lucas could get another word in, AJAX ended up throwing the cologne bottle into the trash can of the office and threw the box in as well as he crossed his arms once again and continued giving Lucas a death stare as Lucas nodded in silence before quickly speaking up.)
Lucas Johnson: Ah well, no worries! I’ll try my best to give you another gift next time!
Kennedy Street: Oh, and what about me honey? Did you bring a gift for Kennie as well?
Lucas Johnson: Oooohhh…I am very sorry Kennedy, I didn’t have enough money to buy you a gift for you as well, but let me tell you this, in a way, having Lucas Johnson on your roster and being able to go out there and give you an awesome match every week is a gift on itself that I am sure you appreciate very much!
Kennedy Street: …
Lucas Johnson: Welp, I gotta go now before I end up losing the bus, thank you for clarifying that I still have the Unique Opportunity Kennedy! I am going to make sure to use it to its fullest! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Lucas screamed in joy before he walked out of the office through the open door, and once again, he left again without Kennedy being able to tell him what the Unique Opportunity is, Kennedy simply didn’t have anymore words to say as she simply slumped her head on the desk and she would spend the rest of her break just taking a nap as AJAX shook his head in silence before Showdown faded away from backstage.)
[SCREEN BAR – Location Unknown]
(The scene cuts to an unknown location and we see Caroline walking through what at first seems like fog but is actually smoke. As she walks, her feet leave imprints in the ass that covers the floor like a fine blanket, but she seems totally oblivious to that. As she continues into the scene, looking around but not saying a word, she walks back the Epcot Spaceship Earth Ball which has been cracked open, flames engulfing it.)
Caroline: This is the true Disney, the version that the company doesn’t want you to see. Behind the uplifting music, glitter and sparkles, lies a reality that it seems only I can see. A dank darkness that envelopes us all.
(She continues her journey, the camera focusing on a headless Mickey Mouse costume, and then as she goes a bit further, the head that has been damaged by fire, one of the eyes missing.)
Caroline: People don’t want to hear the truth, nor do they want to believe that the ‘magical place’ that they think they know, is actually nothing more than a burned-out shell of what once was. They buy into the wonder, not realizing that there is nothing wonderful about it at all.
(Caroline stops, and turns her head, the camera following exactly where she is looking. We see that she is looking at Cinderella’s Castle, a monument that once symbolized everything that Disney was. But now it has also been ravaged by fire and left to ruin. In fact, as we focus on it, a large explosion rocks the area, and a Princess Tiara falls at Caroline’s feet. She picks it up and dusts it off, cackling to herself at the irony of this object. That to wear such a thing deemed you worthy of being a ‘Princess’, as if that meant anything in the real world.)
Caroline: There was once a time when I was happy. When my dreams were the same as those that idolize Disney. I bought into the rainbows and unicorns, and I gave myself to the ideology of what I believed the company represented. I loved Disney, I felt it was my home. I believed that with them, anything was possible. I thought that with them, I would achieve every single one of my dreams…
(She drops the Tiara on the floor, and shatters it underneath her boot, enjoying the crunching of the crystal as it ends up in thousands of pieces.)
Caroline: I was wrong.
(She continues walking along the scene, and what was once bluebirds singing and animals running around is now replaced by the skeletal remains of what was perhaps a deer, and a black bird cawing at the interruption of Caroline.)
Caroline: When the darkness overcame me, where was the light of Disney to show me the way? Nowhere. Disney failed to help me, and thus the world moved on without a care in the world. I was left to watch someone like Candice Blair bastardize what was once my pride and joy. I had to endure, as she turned it into her own personal muse. It made me sick to my core. It made me angry, an anger that I had never experienced before. I knew that I had to do something to redress the balance. To open people’s eyes to the dangers that Disney possessed.
(Caroline shrugs his shoulders, showing very little in the way of emotion.)
Caroline: I chose Candice for one reason and one reason alone. That being that she embodies everything that is wrong with this business. I chose Candice because she has become a symbol for the product that hides this false morality. What you have seen over the past few weeks has been me, opening Candice’s eyes to the horrors that will come her way if she continues down this path. And I thought that at Territorial Invasion, I would get the chance to conclude my task.
(A wry grin forms on her face, as she kneels and picks up a handful of dust, holding it in her hand.)
Caroline: But it seems that Disney is trying to protect its own, hiding behind Territorial Invasion instead of allowing me to do my duty. Only tonight, Heidi has named Candice as the fifth team member for Brand Warfare. What a coincidence huh? I think not. I see Heidi trying to protect her, and keep her safe, but she won’t be able to protect her forever. After the Territorial Invasion, Candice won’t be able to avoid me anymore. The chain of events has been put in place, and now… one day very soon, I will get my ‘happy ever after’ when I destroy this façade once and for all.
(Caroline gets to her feet, and holds out her hand, allowing the ash to slowly fall through her fingers.)
Caroline: The sands of time are running out Candice. Soon, you will face your judgment day. Remember… I’m a very patient woman… Princess.
(She dusts off her hands, and once again turns her head towards the ruined castle. She walks out the scene, the scene fading on those very ruins as it fades into a commercial break.)
( Camera transitions back to the ring where we see Gina Romano present with a microphone in hand. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL
( ‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis ‘ by Yoko Takahashi begins to play as the crowd immediately lights up and begins cheering as Usagi Senshi makes her way from the back and down the ramp before ultimately entering the ring. The look on her face is one of determination and focus. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM OKINAWA JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS, SHE IS ‘THE MASTER OF EXCELLENCE’.. USAGI!!! SENSHI!!!
DeadPrez: Usagi Senshi has the perfect opportunity tonight to put the entire world on notice if she’s able to defeat the number one contender for the National Elite Championship here tonight. I’m sure she feels very slighted seeing her friends be pushed up and positioned for these championship matches, and I’m sure she wants to prove that she’s deserving as well, so tonight is going to be the perfect night for her to begin taking those steps.
Eve: Yeah, you couldn’t be any more truthful there ‘Prez. Usagi has been adamant about how betrayed and hurt she feels by her one-time friend PJ. And tonight may be about a lot more than just proving you deserve an opportunity.
( ‘ A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ fades out and is immediately replaced with ‘Exhibit C’ by Jay Electronica as PJ Hendrx makes his way from the back receiving a thunderous ovation from the crowd. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE POUNDS, HE IS THE ‘PHANTOM’ P! J! HENDRX!!!!
( PJ Hendrx makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring with a confident look on his face as he eyes Usagi before continuing his entrance. )
DeadPrez: Man PJ Hendrx looks like a man on a mission tonight. Last week he was on commentary with us watching Jon Kelton battle Chef Viz, and as that match was taking place Jon and PJ got into a heated discussion that ultimately led to PJ attacking Jon and getting Chef Viz disqualified. The bad blood between Jon Kelton and PJ Hendrx doesn’t seem as if it’s going to reach it’s end until these two meet face to face for the National Elite Championship, but nonetheless I’m sure PJ is looking to send a message loud and clear to the champion here tonight.
Eve: PJ has been on fire as of late, and tonight is the perfect chance for him to kill two birds with one stone. But tonight he’s up against a very game Usagi, and if he wants to come out on top he better make sure he gives her his full attention.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
DeadPrez: Usagi Senshi shows herself to be the aggressor as she rushes PJ Hendrx, and immediately grabs a hold of him, initiating a headlock, but PJ remains calm and throws an elbow into her back forcing her to release the hold before whipping her into the ropes. Usagi returns and PJ immediately lifts her up and plants her with a spi– NO USAGI ROLLS OFF THE SHOULDERS OF PJ HENDRX AND SLIPS BEHIND HIS BACK!! USAGI GRABS THE WAIST OF PJ HENDRX AND LIFTS HIM UP— GERMAN SUPLEX!! AN AMAZING FEAT OF DETERMINATION AND STRENGTH FROM USAGI!!
Eve: PJ HENDRX MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER THAT SUPLEX AND HE HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE. I DON’T THINK HE EVEN EXPECTED THAT AS USAGI RUSHES HIM TRYING TO KEEP ON THE AGGRESSION!! USAGI CHARGES AT PJ AND SHE HAS THE ARM OUT— USAGI’S GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE!! AND IT CONNEC– NO THIS TIME IT’S PJ WHO COUNTERS AS HE SIDE-STEPS USAGI, AND USES HER MOMENTUM AGAINST HER BEFORE PLANTING HER BACK INTO THE CANVAS WITH A SPINEBUSTER!! PJ HENDRX HAS THE UPPER HAND NOW AS USAGI GETS HERSELF BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE, SHE’S FAVORING HER BACK, BUT NONETHELESS, SHE’S STILL AS DETERMINED AS EVER AS SHE AND PJ HENDRX BOTH MEASURE ONE ANOTHER!
Gavin Kirkland: So far neither of these elitists have been able to get a significant advantage over the other, and now it appears as if they’re going to engage in a test of strength.
DeadPrez: Usagi and PJ are both circling one another and it’s Usagi who lifts up her right hand in the exchange, PJ does the same and they immediately come together— BUT USAGI IMMEDIATELY SHOOTS TO THE SIDE OF PJ AND TAKES HIS BACK! USAGI SHOWING SUPERIOR SPEED AND EXPERIENCE TAKES THE BACK OF PJ AND HE’S DESPERATELY TRYING TO THROW HER OFF, BUT SHE HAS HER LEGS HOOKED AROUND HIM! AND ALL THE WHILE SHE’S THROWING PUNCHES TO THE RIBS AND MIDSECTION!!
Eve: VETERAN INSTINCT BY USAGI WHO KNEW SHE WAS GIVING UP AT LEAST 60 POUNDS TO PJ, A TEST OF STRENGTH WOULD NOT HAVE RESULTED IN THE OUTCOME SHE HAD HOPED FOR, BUT NEVERTHELESS SHE OBVIOUSLY HAD TRICKS UP HER SLEEVE AS SHE CONTINUES HAMMERING PUNCHS INTO THE SIDES OF PJ WHO HAS STILL YET TO GET HER OFF OF HIM!
DeadPrez: PJ IS TRYING EVERYTHING BUT USAGI HAS HIM GRAPEVINED AND THESE BLOWS ARE OBVIOUSLY AFFECTING PJ AS HE DROPS TO A KNEE! BUT PJ IMMEDIATELY JUMPS BACK UP TO A VERTICAL BASE AND RETREATS BACKS HIMSELF UP BEFORE USING ALL HIS MOMENTUM AND SPEED TO THROW HIMSELF INTO THE CORNER AND AS A RESULT USAGI WITH HIM!!
Eve: USAGI JUST ATE THE BRUNT OF THAT IMPACT AS SHE WAS SANDWICHED BETWEEN PJ AND THE CORNER! I’M PRETTY SURE SHE HAS WHIPLASH!! BUT THAT’S OF NO CONCERN TO PJ RIGHT NOW, AS HE DID EXACTLY WHAT HE HOPED TO DO AND FORCED USAGI TO BREAK HER HOLD ON HIM! AND JUST LIKE THAT THE TABLES HAVE TURNED ONCE MORE! NOW USAGI’S LIFELESS IN THE CORNER AND THE ONLY REASON SHE’S STILL SOMEWHAT STANDING IS BECAUSE THE WAY HER ARMS ARE POSITIONED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROPES–
Gavin Kirkland: — PJ NOTICES THIS AND TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE CHARGING IN— CLOTHESLINE!!! RUNNING CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS AND IT CAUSES USAGI TO SINK INTO THE CORNER!!
DeadPrez: BUT PJ ISN’T TAKING IT EASY ON HIS FRIEND, PJ STEPS BACK ONCE MORE TRYING TO GARNER AS MUCH MOMENTUM AND SPEED AS HE POSSIBLY CAN BEFORE HE CHARGES BACK IN AND JUMPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE HE MEETS THE SEATED USAGI!!! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE CORNER!!! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS FLUSH!! PJ PULL DROPS DOWN TO MAKE THE COVER ON USAGI!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!!
Eve: USAGI GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO!
DeadPrez: PJ Hendrx doesn’t seem shocked or disappointed that Usagi Senshi kicked out right there. In fact, there seems to be the faintest expression of relief on the face of the Number One Contender here tonight. PJ Hendrx doesn’t want to hurt Usagi Senshi– but he’s most definitely not going to allow himself to be run over, and he’s not going to lay down and allow her to have this match. No, he’s going to make her earn it.
Eve: And that’s exactly what Usagi’s going to do, as she manages to make it to a knee, and eventually back to a vertical base. She immediately get’s right in the face of PJ Hendrx and before he even gets the chance to speak— SHE PUNCHES HIM! A PUNCH LANDS SQUARE ON THE JAW OF PJ HENDRX AND IT IMMEDIATELY SENDS HIM STUMBLING BACK! PJ HENDRX JUST GOT JAWED AND LOOK AT USAGI! SHE DOESN’T STOP THERE SHE SENDS ANOTHER VICIOUS HAYMAKER THAT SENDS PJ HENDRX RETREATING BACK TOWARDS THE CORNER!
DeadPrez: WE’RE SEEING SOME UNBEFORE-SEEN RAGE FROM USAGI SENSHI AS SHE DELIVERS A VICIOUS ONSLAUGHT OF PUNCHES AND BLOWS TO PJ HENDRX IN THE CORNER! PJ IS DOING HIS BEST TO COVER UP BUT USAGI ISN’T LETTING UP IN THE SLIGHTEST AND SHE BEGINS DELIVERING KICKS AND KNEES! USAGI USING EVERY PART OF HER BODY TO INFLICT DAMAGE AS SHE MOUNTS PJ IN THE CORNER AND BEGINS DELIVERING ELBOWS TO HEAD! USAGI SENSHI IS MOVING LIKE A WOMAN POSSESSED, BUT THAT’S JUST A TESTAMENT TO HOW BADLY SHE WANTS TO WIN AS SHE CONTINUES DELIVERING A FLURRY OF OFFENSE ON PJ!
Eve: USAGI IS STILL OBLITERATING PJ IN THE CORNER AND NOW THE CROWD HAS BEGUN COUNTING ALONG WITH THE PUNCHES!!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
FOUR!!
FIVE!!
SIX!!
SEVEN!!
EIGHT!!!
NINE!!!
TEN!!!!
DeadPrez: TEN PUNCHES CONNECT FLUSH AND PJ HENDRX LOOKS GLAZED OVER, I DON’T THINK HE EVEN KNOWS WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW, BUT NEVERTHELESS THIS VICIOUS ASSAULT FROM USAGI IS FAR FROM OVER, AND SHE CONTINUES TO HOLD PJ HENDRX UP RIGHT WITH HER OWN BODY— USAGI PUSHES PJ BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH HER FOREARM AND DELIVERS ONE MORE ELBOW FOR GOOD MEASUR—
Eve: WAIT NO PJ HENDRX SOMEHOW— SOMEWAY PJ HENDRX DUCKS DOWN INTO THE CORNER AND GRABS THE LEGS OF USAGI SENSHI AS SHE WAS STANDING ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE— AND PJ HENDRX POWERBOMBS HER!! WHAT A COUNTER AND SOME VERY QUICK THINKING ON THE PART OF PJ AS HE COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND AFTER CONNECTING WITH THAT POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: PJ Hendrx may have a concussion but I’m telling you that was one of the better counters I’ve ever seen from an elitist who’s been around as long as PJ has. Sure maybe its Usagi that’s making PJ better in there. Or maybe it’s the other way around, but one way or another, they’re both elevating one another.
DeadPrez: But only one of them can win and that’s all this match comes down to. PJ and Usagi are both stirring. Whoever gets up first may be the one who wins this match! Usagi’s already up to a knee, and PJ has done the same. WAIT-
Eve: PJ MAKES IT BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SO DO USAGI, BUT THIS TIME IT’S PJ HENDRX WHO CHARGES USAGI! HE’S LOOKING TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY— USAGI GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT PJ HENDRX DUCKS IT UNDERNEATH IT AND SPRINTS TOWARDS THE ROPES, PJ HENDRX FIRES OFF THE ROPES AND RETURNS TO USAGI— TELEKINESIS !! THE SPEAR!! PJ HENDRX LUNGES TOWARD USAGI AND CONNECTS WITH THE SPE–
DeadPrez: NO— SUPERKICK USAGI DROPS PJ WITH A SUPERKICK AND SHE SCRAMBLES TO MAKE THE COVER!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR—
Eve: PJ HENDRX KICKS OUT JUST BEFORE THREE!! I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT. BUT PJ HENDRX KICKS OUT! AND USAGI IS BESIDE HERSELF. SHE THOUGHT THAT MAY BE IT— SHE CONNECTED SQUARE WITH THAT SUPERKICK! USAGI DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS BOTH THE LEGS OF PJ THIS TIME AS THE REFEREE SLIDES IN TO MAKE THE COUNT!!
ONE!!
TWO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO PJ STILL KICKS OUT!! USAGI CANNOT BELIEVE WHATS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW— SHE IMMEDIATELY POPS BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND PICKS PJ HENDRX BACK UP TO HIS OWN, USAGI GRABS THE ARM OF PJ HENDRX AND PULL HIM IN BEFORE PLANTING HIM ON HIS BACK WITH A SPINEBUSTER!! NOW BUSINESS IS PICKING UP AS USAGI IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO CLIMB THE TOP ROPE! USAGI IS LOCKED IN AND NOW SHE’S LOOKING TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY AS SHE LEAPS FROM THE TOP!! DIVING FOOT STOMP FROM USAGI SENSHI AND IT CONNECTS!! USAGI GET’S ALL OF IT!! AND PJ HENDRX IS FAVORING HIS RIBS!! USAGI PICKS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER UP TO HIS FEET AND IMMEDIATELY KICKS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION!! PJ HENDRX IS DOUBLED OVER AND SOMEHOW SOMEWAY USAGI LIFTS HIM UP— SHE HAS HIM IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION— AND SHE SHIFTS HER WEIGHT AND PLANTS PJ HENDRX STRAIGHT ON THE CANVAS!! SHE HOOKS THE LEGS!! THIS ONE IS OVER!!
ONE!!!
TWOOOO!!!!
THR—
Eve: PJ HENDRX KICKS OUT!!!!!!!
DeadPrez: PJ HENDRX WILL NOT BE DENIED AS HE DISPLAYS SOME OTHERWORLDLY RESILIENCE! AND AGAIN USAGI SENSHI CANNOT BELIEVE HER EYES!! WHO KNEW THAT BOTH OF THESE YOUNG ELITISTS HAD THIS MUCH FIGHT IN THEM. PJ HENDRX WANTS THIS WIN. USAGI SENSHI WANTS THIS WIN. BOTH OF THEM CAPABLE OF DEFEATING THE OTHER. BUT NEITHER ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE OTHER DOWN JUST YET.
Eve: BUT USAGI HAS BEEN CLOSE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! USAGI HAS BEEN RIGHT THERE TIME AFTER TIME. ALL IT TAKES IS ONE BIG MOVE OR ONE MISTAKE FROM PJ AND THIS MATCH IS OVER.
DeadPrez: BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR USAGI– SHE WANTS THIS WIN SO BAD IT’LL BE EASY FOR HER TO BE TOO EAGER AND PJ TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT EAGERNESS. WE’VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
Eve: NEVERTHELESS USAGI IS MEASURING PJ, WHO’S BEGUN TO STIR. SHE’S BEGGING FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP TO MAKE IT BACK TO HIS FEET SO SHE CAN PUT HIM DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL!! PJ HENDRX HAS MADE IT TO A KNEE, HE’S STILL FAVORING HIS HEAD AS A RESULT OF THAT ONSLAUGHT FROM USAGI EARLIER IN THE MATCH, BUT I FEAR WHAT USAGI HAS PLANNED FOR HIM NOW WILL BE THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN— PJ GETS BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE AND HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S IN WAIT FOR HIM AS HE TURNS AROUND– FATALITY !!! THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE FROM USAGI CONNEC–
DeadPrez: NO PJ HAD IT SCOUTED!! PJ KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS COMING AS HE POPS USAGI UP JUST BEFORE SHE HAD THE CHANCE TO CONNECT WITH THE STRIKE— PJ IMMEDIATELY GRABS USAGI BY THE WAIST AS SHE FREE FALLS AND POWERBOMBS HER INTO THE CANVAS!! PJ GETS ALL OF THAT POWERBOMB AS USAGI’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE MAT!! AND NOW IT’S PJ WHO HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!!
ONE!!!
TWOOO!!!
THRE—
Gavin Kirkland: NO USAGI KICKS OUT!! USAGI SENSHI KICKS OUT JUST AS THE REFEREE’S HAND WAS COMING DOWN FOR THREE. AND NOW THE LOOK ON PJ’S FACE ISN’T ONE OF RELIEF. IT’S ONE OF DREAD. HE WANTED TO PUT USAGI AWAY THERE BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH.
Eve: PJ HENDRX KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO IF HE WANTS TO WIN THIS MATCH. HE NEEDS TO RETURN TO THE WELL ONE MORE TIME AND ATTEMPT THAT SPEAR THAT’S BROUGHT HIM SO MUCH SUCCESS IN THE PAST. USAGI HAD IT SCOUTED EARLIER IN THE MATCH, BUT FATIGUE HAS SET IN AND EITHER ONE OF THESE ELITIST COULD BE JUST ONE BIG MOVE AWAY FROM VICTORY.
DeadPrez: I THINK PJ REALIZES THIS, THE MOST. HIS HEAD IS ON A SWIVEL AND HE NEEDS THIS WIN IF HE WANTS TO START BUILDING MOMENTUM HEADING INTO TERRITORIAL INVASION. PJ IS LAYING IN WAIT AS USAGI SENSHI STRUGGLES TO MAKE IT BACK TO HER FEET!! HE WANTS THIS WIN JUST AS BADLY AS SHE DOES— BUT IN HIS MIND HE FEELS AS IF HE WANTS IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, AS USAGI GETS UP AND TURNS AROUND RIGHT INTO A BIG KICK TO THE MIDSECTION FROM PJ!! HE THEN PICKS HER UP IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION— PLANET ZERO !! IT CONNECTS, PJ HENDRX WITH THE BRIDGING PIN AS THE REFEREE SLIDES IN TO COUNT IT!!
ONE!!!!
TWOOOO!!!
THREE—
Eve: 2.99!! THAT’S HOW CLOSE USAGI WAS TO LOSING RIGHT THERE. SHE HAD HALF A MILLI-SECOND TO SPARE AS THE REFEREE’S HAND WAS THAT CLOSE TO COUNTING TO THREE!! BUT NONETHELESS, USAGI SENSHI KICKS OUT AND THIS MATCH IS STILL ON!!
DeadPrez: BACK AND FORTH, ALL NIGHT LONG THESE TWO HAVE GONE. THEY’VE TRADED BLOWS. THEY’VE TRADED MOVES. THEY’VE TRADED NEAR FALLS. THEY’VE BOTH PROVEN HOW BADLY TONIGHT MEANS TO THEM AND IT’S BECAUSE OF THIS THAT IT’S A SHAME ONLY ONE OF THEM CAN WALK OUT VICTORIOUS. PJ HENDRX IS PULLING HIMSELF OFF THE CANVAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT USAGI HAD ENOUGH IN THE TANK TO KICK OUT. AND USAGI IS ON THE GROUND STIRRING TRYING TO FIND THE ENERGY TO GET UP AND FINISH THIS MATCH.
Eve: PJ HENDRX MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE GINGERLY WALKS OVER INTO THE CORNER— HIS EYES DEADSET ON USAGI AS HE SQUATS IN THE CORNER NOT TAKING HIS EYES OFF HIS TARGET!! PJ IS LOOKING FOR TELEKINESIS!! PJ HENDRX IS LOOKING TO SPEAR USAGI SENSHI IN HALF!!!
( Just a PJ Hendrx looks to Spear Usagi, the crowd can be heard breaking out in a frenzy of Boo’s as someone storms the ring and begins attacking PJ Hendrx from behind.)
DeadPrez: WAIT WHO THE HELL… WHO THE HELL IS THAT!!???!?
( As the attack continues we begin to make out the face of the attacker. )
Eve: WAIT A MINUTE… THAT’S THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION JON KELTON!!! AND HE’S OUT HERE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF PJ HENDRX!! THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO END THIS MATCH IN A DISQUALIFICATION!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH AS A RESULT OF A DISQUALIFICATION… P!J! HENDRX!!!!!!
DeadPrez: Man, PJ Hendrx and Usagi Senshi were tearing it up tonight, and it’s a shame a match that good had to end like this. But nonetheless congratulations to PJ.
Eve: Yeah, one could argue PJ was going to win the match decisively, but regardless of the possibilities— PJ is our winner tonight as a result of a DQ. Jon Kelton seems to have gotten a measure of revenge for his own DQ victory last week as a result of PJ Hendrx.
( Meanwhile back in the ring we can see both PJ and Jon Kelton trading blows with one another as Jon Kelton sends a swift punch that knocks PJ out of the ring, and Jon Kelton immediately follows in pursuit. While they’re on the ramp PJ delivers a massive kick to the midsection of Jon Kelton to which Jon Kelton delivers an uppercut that staggers PJ. They can both be seen brawling all the way up the ramp and the through the curtain, until they can no longer be seen. )
DeadPrez: Man you can tell, both of those guys hate each other. There is genuinely no love lost when it comes to PJ Hendrx and Jon Kelton.
Eve: It’s truly scary stuff when you realize that there are no lines these two won’t cross when it comes to hurting one another. The hatred they have for one another is going to make for an amazing match at Territorial Invasion and I’m honestly looking forward to seeing just how far they’re willing to go to be National Elite Champion.
( Meanwhile, in the ring, Usagi Senshi can be seen visibly upset at the way the match played out. She believed she had the match won, and this was her big opportunity to prove that she deserved to be in consideration for a title match like the rest of her peers. Usagi rolls out of the ring and begins kicking the steel steps clearly frustrated that tonight didn’t go how she had hoped.)
( Usagi walks over to the announce desk and begins tearing it apart throwing monitors on the floor of the ringside area before she looks to grab one of the announcer’s chairs— ARIA runs from the backstage area and tries to console her. ARIA clearly understanding Usagi’s frustration attempts to calm Usagi, before Usagi lowers the chair and they embrace before the camera fades elsewhere. )
(Showdown faded to backstage and towards someone who was NOT happy at all right now, Veena was stomping through the hallways with rage seeping through her expression right now, probably the angriest Veena has been in a while and Ashlynn was rushing behind her, trying her best to calm her down and making sure she didn’t blow a gasket.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Please, Mother, calm down and try your best to not get angry! You can make a lot of wrinkles appear on your face!
Veena Adams: I seriously do not give a single [BLEEP] ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW! Do you think I am happy that I am not on Territorial Invasion?! I wasn’t chosen at all for the War Games Team, and I wasn’t chosen either for the Brand Warfare Team! It is a damn injustice, it is an absolute nightmare for the agenda that we have planned for a season, and I feel…cheated out of even getting a chance to prove I can be in it! I am Veena [BLEEP] Adams, former National Elite Champion, does that not mean anything anymore around here?!
Ashlynn Quinn: Of course it means a lot to me and I am sure a lot of people do too, but we totes shouldn’t be jumping to crazy conclusions like that Mother, let me remind you, I appreciate you a lot and that matters most-
Veena Adams: Yes, but the most important person here clearly doesn’t…I AM TALKING WITH KENNEDY!
(Veena immediately picked up the pace and started walking a lot faster across the hallways as Ashlynn panicked slightly and tried her best to follow Veena. Finally, they eventually arrived at Kennedy’s office, the door was opened but there was a big man standing guard there, obviously AJAX, and Veena wasn’t going to simply stop there as she quickly shouted out.)
Veena Adams: Hey, you, get out of the way, I want to talk with Kennedy!
AJAX: Now who is i-
(AJAX looked over and stood there in shock and surprise when he saw both Veena and Ashlynn, and he kind of…had a dreamy look on his eyes, it was almost like he took a liking to the two of them instantly. And then AJAX crossed eyes with Ashlynn and Ashlynn’s eyes widened as that dreamy look appeared on her face as well.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh…my gosh, is this the AJAX that I saw at Midsummer Massacre? THE AJAX?!
AJAX: Uh…that’s…me, yes…
(AJAX quickly panicked and wondered if he smelled well, if he had some cologne now-….Lucas Johnson. AJAX ended up forgetting about and simply tried to play it cool.)
AJAX: Ashlynn, right?
Ashlynn Quinn: YAS, INDEED! How did you know???
AJAX: I saw on social media you uh…wanted to ask for my phone number for a friend, and since you are here, I have no problem giving it to you right now…
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh, of course, that would be like, very lovely-
Veena Adams: STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE IN A TELENOVELA AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!
(Veena reaching the limit of her patience, immediately shoved AJAX out of the way and she stopped inside of Kennedy’s office as Ashlynn quickly rushed inside behind her with a nervous look on her face, Kennedy then quickly raised her head up as she heard Veena’s voice and Kennedy let out a kind smile seeing her.)
Kennedy Street: Oh hi Veena honey, how are you do-
Veena Adams: KENNEDY, I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WOULD EVEN ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!
Kennedy Street: …???
Veena Adams: I am one of your biggest stars here and I should be treated like one, I thought you understood what I wanted and what I wanted to prove, Matt Daniels tried to take pity on me, Starrstan was a completely ignorant fool and I am sure Hurricane Hawk was forced to take me in because I got kicked out of Voltage and Dynasty, but I thought YOU were the exception, Kennie, I thought there was someone who could understand how much I care about this company and all the wrestlers inside of it, so then what happened, huh?! You gave me the chances, you gave me the time to talk, you gave me the title opportunities and after I end up losing the National Elite Championship because of a dirty trick, you treat me like I am just a non-factor?! Like my contributions here don’t matter anymore?! There was a time where you treated me as the superstar that I am…and it is clear that time has passed long ago.
Kennedy Street: …Veena, right now, Kennie is incredibly confused, what are you talking about???
Ashlynn Quinn: Please, Mother, we should just leave the office now and have a nice cup of tea so you can simply calm down, smell the flowers around in Norway, I assure you, I will take care of it-
Veena Adams: I am talking about being in danger of NOT EVEN BEING ON TERRITORIAL INVASION!
(Kennedy’s expression turned even more confused as she heard that kind of thing, slowly speaking up.)
Kennedy Street: Wait, but Kennie thought Ashlynn already told her she took care of it…
(Veena’s anger slowly turns into confusion as well as she hears Kennedy’s response.)
Veena Adams: …What?
(Ashlynn starts getting even more nervous than before, as she tries to play coy and smile gently towards Veena.)
Ashlynn Quinn: No, seriously Mother, we should just leave Kennedy’s office right now-
Kennedy Street: Wait, hold on, Ashlynn, did you not tell Veena about the conversations we had last week after Showdown went off the air?
Ashlynn Quinn: HAHAHAHAHA! SERIOUSLY VEENA, THERE IS A BARBIE SCREENING IN A MOVIE THEATER DOWN THE STREET, WE SHOULD WATCH IT FOR THE ONE HUNDREDTH TIME!
Veena Adams: Stop…Kennie, please…do go on.
(Kennedy lets out a sigh seemingly understanding what was happening right now and she quickly spoke up.)
Kennedy Street: Right, Veena…Ashlynn told me she is worried about your mental health. She told me that after you lost the National Elite Championship you haven’t been feeling on the best mood, and she was worried that your bad mental health would cause you to break out and take away from your…beauty. So she asked Kennie to make sure you were NOT booked at Territorial Invasion, and you could spend the night watching the show with in the box office suite for both nights, full catered, so they could watch it all live.
(Veena honestly didn’t have any words to what she just heard right now. The feeling of her friend going behind her back and doing this kind of thing without her never knowing about it? It felt scummy, it made her feel angry and confused. Ashlynn though tried putting up a smile and talking to Veena.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Look, Mother, I am genuinely so sorry for never telling you before, but I was super worried about you after seeing you like that when we went to the spa! I didn’t want you to put yourself through worse things when worrying about Territorial Invasion and making your mental health worse, so that is why I ended up doing that kind of thing to get you to relax for a few weeks and make things better for you mentality wise, I didn’t do this out of any malice, I was simply looking out for you, and besides…won’t it be fun the two of us being together while enjoying the show-
(Ashlynn tried to put a hand on Veena’s shoulder but Veena pulled back and looked at Ashlynn with an unamused and angry look on her face.)
Veena Adams: Ashlynn, I thought you knew damn well what kind of person I was, you really thought just one bad week was going to make me break down? No, I am stronger than that, I am stronger than you could ever think about, I am one of the greatest stars this roster has ever seen, after years of grinding and working hard to get to the level that I am and you really think I could break so easily? When I have always lived and breathed wrestling at a young age? I thought you knew better about me, Ashlynn, and now, another chance of getting the title I deserve is lost, and I am left out as well when it comes to having a match at Territorial Invasion, just…don’t try and contact me for the next few days alright? I need some actual time to myself…alone.
(Veeena with a frustrated and angry look on her face, she turned around and stormed out of Kennedy’s office without looking back as Ashlynn got incredibly worried.)
Ashlynn Quinn: W-WAIT, VEENA, COME BACK
(Ashlynn then quickly focused and went to rush out of Kennedy’s office as well to chase after Veena.)
AJAX: Wait, hold on-
(AJAX wanted to say another thing to Ashlynn before she left, but as he tried to get close to her, Ashlynn slammed the door shut behind her…and it made the bucket that Kennedy set up earlier in the night for Lucas fall on AJAX and drench him on water. AJAX slowly took off the bucket, opened the door and looked at Ashlynn rushing away with a warm smile on his face before Kennedy walked over and snapped her fingers at him.)
Kennedy Street: Hey, AJAX! Focus! Get changed and let’s go back to work!
(AJAX nodded feeling a bit embarrassed, and so as Kennedy went back to work and AJAX went to change, Showdown faded away from backstage to ringside and Gina Romano.)
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ by Kayne West begins to play through the speakers as Johnny Andrews, for the first time in about two years, makes his presence felt in EAW. Johnny is looking at the reception of the crowd, donning a cocky smile on his face as he does his pose.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A SIX PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN 215 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE FACE OF ELITE’…JOHNNY ANDREWS!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, this is a face that I certainly did not expect to see anytime soon. Johnny Andrews was out for a quite a long period of time due to an injury. But, he’s back and he’s more than willing to put in the work to get to the top of EAW. But, he is starting off this journey right with the semi main event match.
Eve: Weirdly enough, he’ll be teaming with his former tag team partner in Solomon Stane. Those two were known as ‘The Golden Guns,’ and had an opportunity to become Unified Tag Team Champions before he got hurt. And, it led to Kirk Redwood sliding into that position and winning those titles with Solomon.
Deadprez: Apparently to Johnny, there are no hard feelings with Solomon Stane nor Kirk Redwood. It seems like he’s more than willing to work with them and he might need to do that if he wants to defeat Team Showdown.
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ fades as ‘Bringin’ Home the Rain’ by The Builders and the Butchers replaces it. The crowd gives a mixed ovation for The Off-Brand Amphetamines — Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane, who look more than ready for a fight. Both of them stand on each side of Johnny Andrews, looking to be on the same page as the head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS PARTNERS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘UNKILLABLE’ KIRK REDWOOD AND ‘YOUR SAVIOR’ SOLOMON STANE…THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Last week at Bloodsport, the Off- Brand Amphetamines came up short in winning the Unified Tag Team Championships from POTARA. But, a victory over their all-star opponents could put them back in contention.
Eve: But, Team Showdown is a monster team as it is, so this is going to require for those three to be on the same page with each other. Johnny has worked with Solomon. Solomon and Kirk are partners, so I think they could stand a chance.
Deadprez: They need to utilize their chemistry to their advantage if they want to stand a chance.
(‘5 Milli’ by Icewear Vezzo begins to play through the speakers as Chef Viz walks out with a focused look on his face.)
Gavin Kirkland: Here is the man who accepted Adam Lucas’ offer to join his War Games team, but we all know that Chef Viz has his eyes on the Answers World Championship. Now, winning War Games could give him a shot at that title.
(‘Amerika’ by Rammstein plays shortly after as Sheridan Müller comes out more than ready for a fight. She has the Cash in the Vault briefcase in hand as she stands on the other side of Chef Viz.)
Eve: Now, Sheridan Müller seems like a no brainer to have on your War Games team as she took the initiative to ask Adam Lucas to be part of his team. To have a woman like Sheridan could either be good or bad, knowing that Cash in the Vault briefcase can be a factor into the match.
(‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil begins to play through the speakers as the crowd goes wild as Adam Lucas comes out, standing between Chef Viz and Sheridan Müller with the Answers World Championship on his shoulder. The three of them look at each other before making their way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF CHEF VIZ…MS. CASH IN THE VAULT, SHERIDAN MÜLLER….AND THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, ADAM LUCAS….TEAM SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!
Deadprez: I feel like this is going to test Team Showdown to see how they gel with each other. If they don’t got chemistry now, it’s something that can be worked on before the Territorial Invasion. Last night, they decided to make they presence known on Dynasty by attacking Limmy Monaghan and Kassidy Heart. They decided to begin this scary game, so I hope they know the target they have on their back because of it.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: For Team Showdown at War Games, we’re going to be seeing Ms. Cash in the Vault, Sheridan Müller beginning things off versus the newly returning Johnny Andrews! Sheridan has her fists up in a boxing stance while Johnny jogging in place, trying to warm himself up before getting his own fists in a fighting stance. The two Elitists are waiting for the perfect opportunity to go for the lock up as — they lock up! But, you can see that Sheridan is going for a waist lock, but Johnny decides to get behind her and go for his own waist lock on Ms. Cash in the Vault! But, Sheridan reaches behind Johnny and gets his head in a headlock! But Johnny pushes her away, creating some distance for a brief second as he rushes after her, looking to connect with a clothesline! Sheridan ducks the clothesline, but Johnny runs to the horizontal ropes before turning himself around and connecting with a springboard roundhouse kick! Sheridan backs away just a bit as Johnny manages to land on one of his feet, but Sheridan has possession of Johnny’s other foot!
Eve: Sheridan Müller begins to apply an ankle lock on the newly returning Elitist! BUT, JOHNNY ANDREWS HOPS ON ONE FOOT BEFORE TURNING 180° AND NAILING THE SIDE OF THE FORMER VIXENS WORLD CHAMPION WITH AN ENZIGURI! SHERIDAN STUMBLES TO THE SIDE AS JOHNNY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF HER TEMPLE! HE PULLS HER BY THE HAIR BEFORE REACHING BACK INTO HIS CORNER AND TAGGING IN…SOLOMON STANE!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Deadprez: His former ‘Golden Guns’ brethren! Johnny Andrews claims that there’s no hatred between the two of them as Solomon allows himself to be tagged into the match! Solomon Stane begins to enter the ring as Johnny delivers a pele kick into a scorpion kick by Solomon! We’re seeing a bit of the ‘Golden Guns’ between these two! The two of them teamed up on the Dynasty brand. One of the few things that gravitated them towards the other was their drive to succeed and unfortunately, this alliance was put to a halt before it could pick up some steam! Solomon with the cover on Sheridan!
OOOONNNNNEEEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: Sheridan Müller with a kick out at one! Solomon Stane is looking up to ‘God’ wondering what he can do to help Sheridan out! Solomon grabs Sheridan by her ponytail and yanks her up to her feet! He hoists her up in a bear hug position as he races to the nearest corner! Sheridan’s back collides with the turnbuckle as Solomon connects with a couple of shoulder thrusts before connecting with a series of knee strikes to her forehead! He tries to get her into a front headlock position, BUT SHERIDAN BEGINS TO THROW PUNCHES LEFT AND RIGHT. IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S TRYING TO JAB SOLOMON AWAY FROM HER, BUT SOLOMON NAILS HER WITH A HEADBUTT! HE LIFTS HER UP AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SCOOP SLAM! THEN, HE FOLLOWS THAT UP BY CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO HER CHEST! But, it seems like Solomon is not done here! He begins to connect with a series of sharp elbows to the back of her spine! We see that Sheridan is trying to reach for the refuge of her corner, but Solomon is pulling her away!
Eve: Solomon Stane manages to get Sheridan Müller in a full nelson position before hoisting her up to her feet! He delivers a ‘bell clap’ to both of her ears before wrapping his arms around her waist and taking her back with a German! But, we see Solomon Stane has maintained control of the waist lock as he rolls himself back to position and takes Sheridan back for a second time! Once again, he rolls himself back into position, not releasing the German suplex before going for a third consecutive German suplex! A German suplex on the German Elitist.
Deadprez: Sheridan Müller probably thinks that her ‘Sherplex’ is supreme to what Solomon Stane just did to her! Solomon begins to back to his corner where he tags in his Off-Brand Amphetamines brethren, Kirk Redwood into the match! Now, we’re going to be seeing the Off-Brand Amphetamines at their very best! SOLOMON GRABS SHERIDAN UP, CONNECTING WITH A BACK SUPLEX INTO A LEAPING KNEE FROM KIRK! I BELIEVE THEY CALL THAT ‘NATURAL TWENTY’ AS KIRK GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTT—
Gavin Kirkland: Sheridan Müller with a kick out! It seems like she would love to go to her corner and tag either Adam Lucas or Chef Viz into the match! Adam is trying to rally and encourage Sheridan on. Viz looks to be quite calm and focused. If he gets the tag, he gets the tag and he’ll cook. Now, to me, it’s questionable how these three Elitists will gel with each other. Kirk Redwood manages to get Sheridan by the back of her hair, turning her to another direction! Kirk gets Sheridan to her side before connecting with stiff knees to the gut of Ms. Cash in the Vault as she clutches her stomach in pain! Kirk follows that up by rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a spinning neck breaker! But, it seems like Kirk is getting warmed up here as he pulls Sheridan’s arms behind her and delivers a knee to the spine. He keeps his knee on the spine of Sheridan as Sheridan begins to cry out in pain!
Eve: Still, you can see Sheridan Müller is looking to get herself out of this situation, but Kirk Redwood continues to apply the pressure! Sheridan is grinding her teeth against each other to the point where I hope that she doesn’t bite the inside of her mouth! She is trying to fight through the pain as she gathers the strength to find herself to her feet! Her arms are shaking as she is pressing her feet against the mat as she gets herself to her feet! She is trying to twist herself around as Kirk could feel his grasp loosening! But, Kirk with a giant kick to her spine as that takes ‘The Flamestress’ stumbling forward! Sheridan manages to stop herself as she turns around into the running knee to the back of her head! ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ to the former Vixen World Champion! Sheridan catches herself in the ropes as the referee begins to talk with Kirk over being too harsh! BUT, LOOK AT THE APRON! SOLOMON STANE IS ON THE APRON AS HE DELIVERS A PUNCH TO SHERIDAN! A CHEAP SHOT TO SHERIDAN AS JOHNNY ANDREWS LOOKS TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A CARTWHEEL INTO A PELE KICK AS SHERIDAN IS SENT BACK! THIS ISN’T FAIR!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is trying to get the attention of the referee about the dirty tactics of Solomon Stane and Johnny Andrews! You can see the frustration on the Answers World Champion’s face! And, who can blame him?
Gavin Kirkland: It was a smart thing, but ‘The Golden Guns’ as they were once called did a great job with taking advantage of the situation that they were in! Kirk Redwood goes to retrieve Sheridan Müller from the ground as he connects with an uppercut as that takes her back! Kirk connects with another uppercut before pulling her by the arm and connecting with an Irish whip, but Sheridan counters the whip, sending Kirk to the ropes! Sheridan runs after Kirk, who blocks her with a shoulder! He jumps from the ropes and connects with the springboard cutter, but Sheridan manages to get herself out of position! She manages to shove Kirk as he slowly drops himself in an upside down position! THERE IS SHERIDAN’S OPENING! SHE CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF STOMPS TO THE FACE! THEN, SHE GETS KIRK FROM THE UPPER HALF OF HIS BODY AS SHE BALLS HER HAND IN A FIST AND CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE CHEST! IS SHERIDAN COUNTING IN GERMAN??
Eve: I hope that you’re ready to count in German, Gavin.
Sheridan Müller: (off-mic) EINS! ZWEI! DREI! VIER! FÜNF! SECHS! SIEBEN! ACHT! NEUN! ZEHN!
Deadprez: SHE BATTERED THE CHEST OF KIRK REDWOOD! BUT, JOHNNY ANDREWS IS NOT GOING TO STAND FOR IT AS RUNS THE APRON AND LOOKS TO GO AFTER SHERIDAN MÜLLER! BUT, SHERIDAN MANAGES TO GET AHOLD OF HIM AND TURNS HIM AROUND AS SHE BALLS UP HER FIST! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE JOHNNY IS GOING TO SEE WHAT KIRK WENT THROUGH!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh god, I can’t speak German. I only know null.
Sheridan Müller: (off-mic) EINS! ZWEI! DREI! VIER! FÜNF! SECHS! SIEBEN! ACHT! NEUN ZEHN!
Eve: I think a part of Johnny Andrews’ soul just left his body as he falls down to ringside, covering his red chest! Meanwhile, Sheridan Müller is looking at Solomon Stane, seeing if Solomon wants the smoke, but I think that Solomon is choosing his fight and he is looking directly at…Chef Viz!
Deadprez: Now, this is going to be an interesting clashing! But, Solomon Stane is not the legal man in this match up nor is Chef Viz! Still, Viz steps into the ring as he’s looking down at Solomon! The two big guys of the team staring down at each other! This is something that is going to be good! Solomon is BEGGING for Viz to punch him in the face! Meanwhile, Viz remains silent and still. The more Viz does that, the more insane that Solomon goes! Solomon goes for a punch, but that doesn’t knock Chef Viz back! Solomon goes for another punch, but Viz remains perfectly still! Solomon goes for a third punch, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO CATCH THE PUNCH AS HE MANAGES TO SHOVE SOLOMON TO THE ROPES! BUT, SOLOMON RUNS AFTER THE HALL OF FAMER WITH PUNCHES! HE IS TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE CHEF WHO IS MEETING HIM WITH EVERY STRIKE!
Gavin Kirkland: We see the Answers World Champion entering the ring as he tries to separate Chef Viz from Solomon Stane! Johnny Andrews renters the ring to back Solomon away from Chef Viz! The crowd didn’t seem to like that, but Adam Lucas is trying to get his teammates on the same page. It seems like he’s trying to be the more reasonable one, telling Viz to relax and not let his emotions get the best! Meanwhile, you see that Viz is talking back to Adam, but Sheridan is separating the two Elitists, trying to be the peacemaker! Sheridan being the one to talk some sense. Will her ‘German Efficiency’ get her out of this mess?
Eve: But, The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Johnny Andrews manage to take down Team Showdown as they were in the middle of a heated confrontation! Solomon Stane going after Chef Viz! Johnny Andrews taking it to the Answers World Champion! Sheridan and Kirk resume wrestling with each other! The referee is screaming for both groups to get to their respective corners! If we look at the Off-Brand Amphetamines corner, it seems like God has been talking with Solomon who is dying to be let inside the ring! Meanwhile, Chef Viz extends his hand out as Sheridan doesn’t argue and tags him into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG! TAG!
Deadprez: OH BOY, CHEF VIZ AND SOLOMON STANE ARE THE LEGAL MEN OF THIS MATCH! THE TWO MEN ENTER THE RING AND GO RUNNING AFTER EACH OTHER! CHEF VIZ AND SOLOMON BEGIN TO THROW PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME! THE TWO OF THEM ARE FIRED UP, LOOKING TO TAKE THE OTHER BACK! VIZ CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT! HE GRABS SOLOMON BY HIS ARM, WHIPPING HIM TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS ON THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! Viz begins to unload on a series of punches before getting Solomon by his shoulders and yanking him up back on his feet! He throws Solomon to one of the corners! Viz goes running after him, connecting with a shoulder tackle as Solomon collides with the turnbuckle! Viz begins to connect with some knees to the gut of Solomon! He then proceeds to punch Solomon in the forehead, forcing him into a seated position at the corner! Viz takes a few steps back before running to Solomon and connecting with a face wash! This causes Solomon’s head to go back! Viz picks up Solomon and throws him across the ring like a rag doll! It’s not frequent that you see Solomon being thrown like that!
Deadprez: Johnny Andrews is trying to get Chef Viz’ attention at the corner! It seems like he’s trying to buy some time for his former tag team partner! Meanwhile, Viz begins to tell Johnny to “sit his ass down” before turning back to Solomon, but Solomon manages to connect with a jawbreaker as that causes Chef Viz to stumble back! He begins to find himself back to his feet as he connects with a spinning back fist before following that up with a superkick to the back of Viz’ head! This gets Viz down to his knees as Solomon grabs Viz by his head and throws him back into his corner where Johnny and Kirk are looking at him! Solomon tags Kirk right back into the match! THE TWO ELITISTS GET VIZ UP, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO THROW A PUNCH TO SOLOMON AND THEN, TO KIRK! VIZ IS SHOWING THAT HE’S MORE THAN READY FOR THIS FIGHT, BUT SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE CHEST OF VIZ AS KIRK MANAGES TO USE HIS STRENGTH TO LIFT UP THE HALL OF FAMER AND CONNECT WITH A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk Redwood follows that up with a clothesline as that sends Chef Viz to the corner! Now, we see that Kirk is connecting with a series of boxing combinations! He is punching him so frantically and chaotically! He manages to climb to the second rope of the turnbuckle, so that he’s towering over and delivering some punches to the back of his head! Can we count in English this time??
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Gavin Kirkland: English. :ahh:
Eve: But instead of weakening Chef Viz, it only seems to make him stronger as he manages to lift up Kirk Redwood in a powerbomb position! But, look at this! Kirk connects with a sunset flip as he looks to roll up the Chef! No! Instead, he manages to clutch into the leg of the Hall of Famer! I think that he’s going for kneebar on Viz! He is looking to tap out Chef Viz! Viz is trying to shake Kirk away from him! He thinks that it’s as easy as shaking this man away ,but I think that Kirk might have him trapped here! You can see that Adam Lucas is getting nervous at the corner as he’s trying to reach for a tag! Sheridan is sticking her head through the second rope, trying to root on Chef Viz! Viz is trying to drag himself to the bottom rope! He makes a launch for it as he clutches onto the bottom rope!
Deadprez: Right away! Solomon Stane and Johnny Andrews rush into the ring and begin to stomp on Chef Viz! And, Sheridan Müller and Adam Lucas come rushing to their Team Showdown teammate! This causes Solomon and Johnny to rush out of the ring, BUT SHERIDAN AND ADAM GO OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECT WITH SIMULTANEOUS CROSSBODIES ON JOHNNY AND SOLOMON! THE TWO OF THEM ARE ON THEIR FEET, HYPING THEMSELVES AND THE CROWD UP! BUT, KIRK REDWOOD GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, CONNECTING WITH A SUCICIDE DIVE INTO A DOUBLE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO SHERIDAN AND ADAM! THIS TAKES THE TWO ELITISTS BACK AND TO THE GROUND! KIRK IS TRYING TO GET SOLOMON BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT CHEF VIZ CONNECTS WITH A TOPE CON HILO ON ALL THREE OF HIS OPPONENTS! CHEF VIZ TAKES DOWN ALL THE COMPETITORS!
Gavin Kirkland: COOK, CHEF VIZ, COOK!
Eve: Hang on for a moment! We will return to Showdown after the commercial break!
(Commercial for Territorial Invasion featuring all of your favorite Elitists airs.)
(Showdown returns from commercial break as Johnny Andrews has Chef Viz in an abdominal stretch.)
Deadprez: Welcome back to Saturday Night Showdown! We have a massive semi main event featuring the three Elitists representing the Showdown brand at Territorial Invasion versus the former Unified Tag Team Champions in the Off-Brand Amphetamines and a returning Johnny Andrews! The latter has taken control of this match up!
(DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK: We see Chef Viz feeling good about himself as out of nowhere, The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Johnny Andrews attack Viz with a three-on-one assault! Adam Lucas and Sheridan Müller try to ease the situation, but The Off-Brand Amphetamines get them out of the equation by throwing them to the steel steps and the barricade.)
(Scene fades back to ringside.)
Gavin Kirkland: Since then, The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Johnny Andrews have taken over this match! Chef Viz has his fist in a ball as he manages to use all of his strength to get Johnny. You can see Viz beginning to shake as he manages to elbow Johnny in the face! This causes him to release the abdominal stretch! Johnny goes right after Viz, but Viz manages to connect with a snapmare before connecting with a dropkick to the back of his head! He causes Johnny to fall to his side! NOW, WE SEE VIZ GET JOHNNY ON HIS SHOULDERS AND I HOPE THAT JOHNNY HOLDS ON TIGHT BECAUSE HE’S ON BOARD FOR ‘AIR BAE!’ VIZ BEGINS TO SPIN AROUND! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE! VIZ DROPS JOHNNY, WHO IS DOING HIS BEST TO REMAIN ON HIS FEET, BUT HE FALLS BACK AS KIRK REDWOOD TAGS JOHNNY ON HIS SHOULDER AND GETS INSIDE THE RING!
Eve: Chef Viz looks to surprise Kirk Redwood with an ‘Ike Turner Special’ — the spinning backfist to Kirk! NO! KIRK MANAGES TO DUCK IT! KIRK KICKS VIZ IN THE GUT BEFORE PULLING HIM CLOSER AND CONNECTING WITH A ‘BRAINDEAD BUSTER’ — THE BUTTERFLY BRAIN BUSTER AS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION IS TAKEN DOWN! KIRK WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE COULD BE MOMENTS AWAY FROM PUTTING AWAY CHEF VIZ! HE COLLECTS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET BEFORE PULLING VIZ UP AND BACKING AWAY! HE CHARGES AT VIZ, LOOKING FOR A ‘PAROLE VIOLATION’ — THE SOMERSAULT INTO A SPEAR, BUT VIZ GETS KIRK UP AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER! It seemed like that took quite a bit of strength from Viz as the two Elitists found themselves down! Viz is looking at his corner where Sheridan Müller and Adam Lucas have their hands out, ready for the hot tag! Viz goes to launch himself after one of them! But, Kirk manages to grab Viz by the foot! He is trying to pull Viz away, but Viz releases his foot before taking Kirk down with a clothesline! He jumps for the tag!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Deadprez: The Answers World Champion is tagged in for the first time in this match! The crowd has totally erupted as Adam Lucas swings a discus punch to Kirk Redwood! Adam throws some punches at Kirk as he manages to take him to the corner! Adam grabs Kirk by the arm, looking for an Irish whip, but Kirk counters that whip as Adam rebounds off the horizontal set of ropes! He connects with a discus lariat as he takes down the former Unified Tag Team Champion! Now, Solomon Stane enters the match as he looks to take down Adam with a big boot, BUT ADAM DUCKS THE BIG BOOT! HE GETS BEHIND SOLOMON, WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF SOLOMON BEFORE TAKING HIM BACK FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT, LOOK AT THIS! SOLOMON RECOLLECTS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! I DON’T THINK THAT ADAM IS AWARE OF THAT AS HE TURNS HIS FOCUS BACK ON KIRK! BUT, SOLOMON IS PULLED UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING —
Gavin Kirkland: It’s Ms. Cash in the Vault, Sheridan Müller, who manages to have Adam Lucas’ back before Solomon Stane could attack Adam! She and Solomon begin to trade punches with each other! She quickly gets behind Solomon as she looks to connect with a ‘Sherplex,’ but Solomon elbows her in the face! HE DELIVERS A BACK KICK TO THE GUT OF THE FORMER VIXENS WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE GOING FOR A ‘MISERY’S END’ — AN ELBOW DROP TO THE BACK OF SHERIDAN’S HEAD! SHERIDAN DROPS DOWN TO AN ALL FOURS POSITION AS SOLOMON PICKS UP SHERIDAN BY THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SHE SHOVES SOLOMON STANE INTO ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ — THE BULL HAMMER ELBOW STRIKE TAKES DOWN SOLOMON!
Eve: Meanwhile, as we focus back in the ring! Adam Lucas delivers a standing dropkick to Kirk Redwood as he goes to a corner! Adam rushes towards Kirk, looking to take him down with a body splash as Kirk collapses to the ground! Adam picks up Kirk by the arm and looks to whip him to the ropes! But, Kirk counters that whip as the Answers World Champion manages to hold on as Kirk connects with a knee strike to the chin of the World Champion! Then, Kirk connects with a snapmare before following that up with a penalty kick to the spine of Adam! Kirk picks up Adam from his chin as he takes Adam back with an uppercut! And then, another uppercut and then, another uppercut! BUT, ADAM RESPONDS BY TAKING KIRK DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! ADAM FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE HOPES OVER THE TOP ROPE! OH BOY, IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING THAT FRONT FLIP DISCUS LARIAT FROM ADAM! HE IS STALKING KIRK WHO FINDS HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET! ADAM FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AS HE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘EQUALIZER’ — NO! KIRK COUNTERS WITH A ‘PAROLE VIOLATION!’ THE SOMERSAULT INTO A SPEAR AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE GETTING THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HIS CAREER!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTHHHHRRR—
Deadprez: Sheridan Müller breaks up the pin! Solomon Stane enters the match as he goes after Ms. Cash in the Vault! He gets her in position for the ‘Triumph of Truth’ — the one-handed sit out chokeslam! He takes down Sheridan! BUT, CHEF VIZ SLIDES BACK INSIDE THE RING AS HE GETS SOLOMON ON HIS SHOULDERS! IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING ‘AIR BAE’ ONCE MORE! BUT, SOLOMON SLIDES OFF THE SHOULDERS OF THE HALL OF FAMER! HE GRABS VIZ BY HIS THROAT AS HE LOOKS TO GO FOR ANOTHER ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH,’ BUT SHERIDAN GRABS SOLOMON’S ARM FROM BEHIND, PULLING HIM AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’ — THE RIPCORD LARIAT TAKES DOWN SOLOMON! Viz gets Solomon and throws him over the top rope as he slides out of the ring once more, looking to make sure that Solomon is taken out of the way! Kirk Redwood clubs the back of Sheridan’s head as he picks her up and connects with a ‘Bastardplex’ — the wrist clutch back suplex to Sheridan! USING THAT, ADAM IS ON THE APRON AS HE FRONT FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH AN ‘EQUALIZER!’ BUT, AT WHAT COSTS? Adam is down! Kirk is down as he manages to head back towards his corner! At this rate, it’s Johnny Andrews, who has remained in that corner as he watched the entire situation go down! Kirk jumps to tag in Johnny into the match —
(Johnny Andrews jumps off the apron as Kirk Redwood can’t believe what had just happened. He looks exhausted as Johnny shakes his head and begins to walk away from the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Johnny Andrews is really leaving this match? I thought that he had no issues with The Off-Brand Amphetamines! Why is he leaving them high and dry?
(Solomon Stane is resting against the barricade after separating himself from Chef Viz. Solomon can’t seem to believe what is going on, even yelling at Johnny Andrews and wondering what’s going on here. The crowd is confused as well. The camera pans back to Kirk Redwood, who can’t believe what is going on.)
Eve: Kirk Redwood can’t seem to believe what is going on as he struggles to find himself on his feet, but he turns himself around as Adam Lucas connects with a knee to Kirk’s skull! THEN, HE PULLS KIRK CLOSER, SHOVING HIM TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH THE POP UP POWERBOMB! ‘NEXT LEVEL’ CONNECTS ON KIRK AS ADAM GOES FOR THE COVER! SOLOMON STANE IS RACING BACK INSIDE THE RING! BUT, SHERIDAN MÜLLER AND CHEF VIZ ARE HOLDING HIM BY HIS LEGS, PREVENTING HIM FROM GOING ANYWHERE!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Be Legendary’ plays once again as the crowd gives a standing ovation as Adam Lucas rolls off of Kirk Redwood. Adam is on his knees as Sheridan Müller and Chef Viz get inside the ring to stand alongside their Team Showdown captain.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH… THE TEAM OF CHEF VIZ…MS. CASH IN THE VAULT…SHERIDAN MÜLLER….AND THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…ADAM LUCAS…TEAM SHOWDOWN!!!!!
Deadprez: While it seemed to be a bit rough for those three during the beginning parts of the match, the three of them eventually found themselves on the same page at the right moment of the match.
(The camera pans to Johnny Andrews who is at top of the ramp, looking down at the whole situation. Then, it pans to The Off-Brand Amphetamines, who are giving Johnny death glares for what he just did.)
Gavin Kirkland: Now, Johnny Andrews leaving Kirk Redwood high and dry was something that I really didn’t anticipate since he was working so well with them in the match. I thought it would be the chemistry with those three men that could give them the victory over Team Showdown.
Eve: Regardless, this was a fantastic match! I am shook —
(A bunch of wreckage is heard behind the camera. A camera is heard being smashed into the ground, the lens shattering in half. The camera man gets flung to the barricade area. The timekeeper is shown screaming and trying to get away from whatever is scaring him. His ring bell is being taken away from him.)
Deadprez: IT’S MYLES! MYLES FROM DYNASTY WHO HAS HIS HANDS ON A RING BELL! HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK DOWN ONE OF OUR CAMERA MEN IN ORDER TO GET TO THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA!
(The noise of the padding of the announce table being ripped apart is heard. The monitors are being taken away from their positions as the announcers begin to back away from the whole mess.)
Gavin Kirkland: OMG, IT’S LIMMY MONAGHAN, THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, HAS COME BACK TO ME — I MEAN, SHOWDOWN!!!!
Eve: Gavin, I think that we’re being invaded! We have Myles and Limmy Monaghan, which means…
(The camera pans to the captain of Team Dynasty at War Games and Universal Women’s Champion, Kassidy Heart, who is slowly going down the ramp, almost like she planned the entire thing. With the presence of Team Dynasty at ringside, Team Showdown begins to go back-to-back-to-back, all united and ready for a fight. The crowd is completely anxious at the stare down between these two brands. Team Dynasty steps onto a part of the apron, each facing a member of Team Showdown.)
Deadprez: Last night on Dynasty, we saw Team Showdown invade the Dynasty brand to take down Kassidy Heart and Limmy Monaghan during their match with Theron Nikolas and Chris Elite. Now, it seems like Dynasty is going to return the favor —
Gavin Kirkland: AND… TEAM DYNASTY AND TEAM SHOWDOWN ARE GOING AT IT! KASSIDY HEART WITH ADAM LUCAS! LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH CHEF VIZ! MYLES WITH SHERIDAN MÜLLER! THESE SIX ELITISTS ARE BRING THE FIGHT INSIDE THE SQUARED CIRCLE! MYLES TAKES SHERIDAN TO THE CORNER! LIMMY SHOVES VIZ INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AND KASSIDY MANAGES TO TAKE ADAM DOWN WITH A SPEAR BEFORE PROCEEDING TO PUNCH THE HECK OUT OF HIM!
Eve: CHEF VIZ MANAGES TO SHOVE LIMMY MONAGHAN AWAY, CREATING A BIT OF DISTANCE, BUT DIABLE JAMBE — THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO VIZ! SHERIDAN MANAGES TO GET A COUPLE OF HER PUNCHES IN BEFORE MYLES GETS CLOSER TO HER FACE AS HE PROCEEDS TO RACK THE EYES OF MS. CASH IN THE VAULT! HE PULLS HER CLOSER BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH ‘DE FACTO’ — THE SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP! NOW, WE SEE THAT ADAM LUCAS IS GETTING KASSIDY HEART UP AS KASSIDY CONNECTS WITH A ‘HEART STOPPER’ — THE HEART PUNCH — ALMOST AS GOOD AS DR. BETHANY BLUE’S AS ADAM IS TAKEN DOWN WITH A ‘NORVINA LIGHTS!’ NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S CONNECTING WITH ‘NECRO MAULER’ — AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S SINKING HER TEETH IN THE BACK OF ADAM’S SHOULDER! I’M NOT SURE IF BETHANY IS GOING TO LIKE THAT!
Deadprez: THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION IS BITING INTO THE NECK OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! CHEF VIZ IS RACING TOWARDS KASSIDY HEART, LOOKING TO BREAK UP THE HOLD! BUT, LIMMY MONAGHAN AND MYLES MANAGE TO TAKE VIZ BACK TO THE CORNER AS THE TWO MEN BEGIN TO STOMP ON HIM!
(You can see Adam Lucas’ neck beginning to pour out blood as Kassidy Heart is not applying the move gently at all. With that, the referees begin to come out and get inside the ring. We see them trying to separate Kassidy from Adam as the referee’s are struggling to pull those two apart from each other. It takes about three different referees to get a hold of Kassidy and then, you can see Adam’s blood pouring out of her mouth.)
Gavin Kirkland: The referees manage to back Chef Viz and Sheridan Müller into corners across from each other. More referees are arriving in side the ring to place Myles and Limmy to the other corners. These fans do not like this whatsoever.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, KASSIDY HEART DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FRICK AS SHE MANAGES TO HEADBUTT ONE REFEREE, ELBOW THE OTHER AND SNAPMARE THE OTHER ONE! SHE IS ENCOURAGING FOR MYLES AND LIMMY MONAGHAN TO DO THE SAME! SHE’S DEDEDE’S WIFE! SHE’LL WAIVE ALL THE FINES FOR MYLES AND LIMMY FOR PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON THE REFEREES! MYLES AND LIMMY BEGIN TO PUNCH THEIR WAY OUT OF THE HOLD, LOOKING TO GO AFTER CHEF VIZ, SHERIDAN MÜLLER AND ADAM LUCAS! TEAM SHOWDOWN READY FOR THAT FIGHT!
(Unfortunately, more referees come out and at some point, it becomes overwhelming for all the Elitists. The crowd is booing at the entire thing.)
Eve: This crowd is not happy about this! But, if this was tonight, who knows what’s there to expect from Team Voltage, who we haven’t even seen yet!
(The last shot of Team Dynasty and Team Showdown was held down by dozens of referees. Some referees are pulling Kassidy Heart away from the ring, some checking on Adam Lucas’ neck and Chef Viz and Sheridan Müller trash talking Myles and Limmy Monaghan as the crowd completely hijacks the show with ‘LET THEM FIGHT’ chants as it fades to the last commercial break..)
(We come back to the ringside area, and in particular the announce table.)
Deadprez: What a night it has been already guys, I honestly don’t know what is going to happen next but it is MAIN EVENT TIME! .
Gavin Kirkland: I do… a match between two of the foxiest ladies in this company.
Eve: Do you ever think about anything else?
Gavin Kirkland: No, because I’m a red-blooded male. And Madison Kaline and Pandora Paisley are two of the hottest.
Eve: And don’t you think that is disrespectful to their talents?
Gavin Kirkland: What you talking about… I AM talking about their talents. You know what I’m talking about don’t you Deadprez?
Deadprez: Don’t bring me into it
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff hits, and Deadprez breathes a sigh of relief.)
Deadprez: Well, it looks like Madison Kaline is making her way to the ring…
Gavin Kirkland: Yes, we get to see her ‘talents’ in the flesh.
(Madison walks out onto the staging to a mixed reaction from the crowd, and she looks left and right, flicking her hair from out of in front of her face. She doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to the reaction either way, and after a few moments she starts making her way down the ramp, doing her best to not be touched by anyone.)
Deadprez: There is no question, Madison Kaline has everything that a Hall of Famer needs, and it is no surprise that she was inducted. Talent, and not the talent Gavin is talking about, an air about her that demands respect and not only that she has the accolades to go about it. The problem seems to be with her attitude, would you agree with Eve?
Eve: She feels that the newer talent is handed everything on a plate, whereas she had to work hard for it. It’s not true of course, but she certainly has a chip on her shoulder. She’s a former Women’s World Champion, and honestly it wouldn’t be a surprise if she claimed that title again. I just think someone like her shouldn’t be making demands, and if she concentrated on her matches a little more, perhaps she’d get the respect she believes she deserves.
(Madison reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope, walking straight over and grabbing a mic from one of the crew.)
Gavin Kirkland: What are you two talking about? She’s won World titles, Empress of Elite, Vixens Champion… What more does she have to do? Kennedy should give her what she wants, when she wants it and without question. That’s my opinion…
Eve: And of course, you’re not thinking with that between your legs.
(Madison holds up her hand, but her music doesn’t fade.)
Madison Kaline: CUT MY MUSIC. NOW!!!
Deadprez: Oh my, Madison not getting off on the best foot with these fans. No need for that reaction towards the crew, no need at all
Gavin Kirkland: She going to speak… hush, will you?
(The camera pans to Madison, who is already shaking her head.
Madison Kaline: Yeah, boo me for demanding the respect I am worth. That figures.
(The boos predictably get louder, but Madison continues regardless.)
Madison Kaline: I mean, I’m the disrespectful one when I have to shout because the crew in the back don’t give me the common courtesy of fading out my music. I’m the disrespectful one, because I ask for small little items in my dressing room to make me a little more comfortable. After all I do, working the world for you, the EAW fans, I get booed because I show a little emotion. Because I demand a little respect.
Gavin Kirkland: She’s right… It’s pathetic.
Eve: No, what’s pathetic is acting like a Princess.
Madison Kaline: Showdown has never treated me like the big deal I am. The big deal is who is used to promoting these events, and yet I get nothing in return. Let me run it down for you, shall I? What I have brought to this company, even more than filling this arena tonight with people that want to see ME. Women’s World Champion, Vixen’s Champion, Empress of Elite winner. Champion of the Year as well as Match of the Year awards. Coming back for Season 15 in the #EAW15 Movement and surviving the purge, these are not the accolades of a ‘normal’ Elitist. These are kind of comments reserved for an actual superstar of the Industry.
Deadprez: Well, she sure isn’t holding back
Gavin Kirkland: And nor should she. She has every right to tell it how it is.
Madison Kaline: So, I’m not going to be asking any more, I’m going to be TELLING. Anyone, no matter who you are that doesn’t treat me like the star I am, will be taken to task and I will beat the respect into them. I don’t care if you are the Caretaker, a competitor, or management, I DEMAND that I am given the respect I have earned, regardless of whether I am a Hall of Famer or not. I am by the way. This disrespect ends… and it ends tonight. Pandora… get your scrawny ass out here so I can make you my first example.
Deadprez: You can bet Pandora isn’t going to take this lightly
Eve: My guess… Madison Kaline is about to be disrespected in the worst way. Devolution don’t have respect. No matter who you are.
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand as she is ready to start the introductions for the final contest of Showdown. )
Gina Romano: The following contest is OUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It is set for TV TIME REMAINING and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: Introducing first already in the ring! From Tampa Bay, Florida! Weighing 120 pounds! Here is “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADISON KALINE!
Deadprez: And we heard from Madison Kaline already in the ring for singles action and she is not in a good mood, especially since this season hasn’t exactly got off to the best start for her.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah yeah. Some consider her evil. Some consider a jezebel, but I think she’s pretty hot and that’s a win in my book.
Eve: Good gawd. Last week, Madison Kaline was defeated by Daryl Kinkade last week, so she is hoping that tonight will be the kickstart she needs to get her season back on track. All I have to say is that with who her opposition is… good luck, Madison.
(Madison paces the ring impatiently as “Just Stop” by Disturbed starts to play as Pandora Paisley enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd. She is not coming alone as she is being flanked by National Elite Champion Jon Kelton, Serenity Valdez, and Halsey Neel before heading to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! Accompanied by and representing DEVOLUTION! Currently residing in Santa Monica, California. Weighing in at 9 stones. Here is “THE HELLCAT” PANDORA PAISLEY!!
Gavin Kirkland: OHHH YES! PANDORA IS HERE! I wanna know more about Pandora Paisley. Her Hopes. Her dreams and maybe her phone number. I mean she is successful and she is single.
Eve: This is NOT the Let’s Find Gavin a Date Game! We know what her hopes are after what we saw last night on Dynasty. She wants Milli Banks and she wants the Specialists Championship.
Deadprez: I thought we would see Pandora fighting solo tonight, but that was foolish of me,dawg. Wherever one of Devolution goes, the other follows. Will Madison be able to outsmart the numbers game of Devolution or will Pandora add another victory for Devolution? We are about to find out!
(Pandora enters the ring and takes her corner as the rest of Devolution takes their place at ringside as her music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! This match is underway and these two ladies immediately lock up in the center of the ring. These two are ready to take care of some business tonight. This is going to be a fight.
Eve: You bet it will be. One wants to get her season on track and the other wants to stick it to the Specialists Champion. Right now, neither woman is able to get the advantage over the other UNTIL NOW WITH PANDORA TAKING THE ADVANTAGE WITH THAT SNEAKY HANDFUL OF HAIR THAT TAKES MADISON DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Sneaky nothing. In this business, you do what you have to do in order to win. The lovely Pandora Paisley is a prime example of that. Now Pandora is just putting the boots to Madison. GET HER PANDORA!
Deadprez: Madison is trying to roll away from Pandora to get a breather and she FINALLY MAKES IT TO THE ROPES! The referee quickly steps in between them and separates Pandora from Madison.
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the greatest group in the world in Devolution watching closely and keeping their distance. They know that this is going to be an easy win for Pandora so there is no need for them to get involved.
Eve: Easy NOTHING! Madison is a former World Champion who has made it back to her feet! SHE SPEEDS RIGHT PAST THE REFEREE! DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN BY MADISON AND SHE IS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS TRYING TO PUNCH PANDORA IN THE FACE!!
Gavin Kirkland: OHHHH BABY! I LOVE A GOOD CAT FIGHT! The only thing that would make this match even better is if they start tearing off the clothes! WOOOOOOOOOO! Wouldn’t that be so hot?
Deadprez: What the hell is wrong with you? They are not going to be tearing at clothes. This is NOT a damn bra and panties match. If they tear at anything, it’s going to be tearing at hide. These women want to beat the hell out of each other.
Eve: Madison is still throwing punches while being admonished by the referee before she brings Pandora back to her feet by the hair before dragging her to the corner. MADISON GETS SOME MOMENTUM AND FLINGS PANDORA ACROSS THE RING BY THE HAIR!
Deadprez: Madison isn’t playing around tonight, folks. Pandora is trying to get back to her feet AND MADISON KICKS HER RIGHT IN THE FACE! That takes Pandora back down to the mat and Madison goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOO—
Eve: PANDORA KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! Pandora is tough and it is going to take more than that to put Pandora down for good. The same can apply to Madison if we want to be honest.
Gavin Kirkland: Of course that wasn’t going to put Pandora away. Did you see the damage she took in that Last Woman Standing match against Ms. Extreme months ago. This woman is tough as nails.
Deadprez: Right now, she is being attacked by Madison Kaline. Madison with another handful of hair and brings Pandora back to her feet and tries to whip her to the ropes, BUT PANDORA COUNTERS AND SENDS MADISON TO THE ROPES—
Gavin Kirkland: AND SERENITY VALDEZ TRIPS MADISON UP AND SENDS HER FACE FIRST TO THE MAT! THAT’S TRUE TEAMWORK RIGHT THERE! PANDORA HAD THE REFEREE DISTRACTED SO THEY WERE NONE THE WISER!
Eve: Wait a second! Didn’t you say not two minutes ago that Devolution had no need to interfere because it was an “easy victory” for Pandora? Are you gonna change horses midstream or something? What’ll be your excuse for this?
Gavin Kirkland: Team members stick together. You fight one member of Devolution and you fight them all. Nothing wrong with having an extra little insurance policy in a match like this. Can you imagine if Pandora somehow loses to Madison?
Deadprez: Yes I can because Madison has faced and defeated some of the best women EAW has offered in her career. So defeating Pandora tonight isn’t as far-fetched as you are making it out to be.
Eve: Right now, Madison is getting back to her feet AND SHE TRIES TO STOMP ON SERENITY’S HAND ON THE APRON, BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH TO DISTRACT MADISON AND PANDORA COMES UP FROM BEHIND WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: Pandora sends Madison into the ropes with that shot before she grabs a handful of Madison’s hair BEFORE SHE SNAPMARES HER OVER TO THE MAT! BUT THAT ISN’T IT! SHE STILL HAS HOLD OF MADISON’S HAIR AND SNAP MARES HER OVER AGAIN!
Eve: She still has a handful of Madison’s hair and this time SHE TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! GOOD GRIEF! Madison’s head bounces right off the canvas. Pandora mounts Madison AND JUST STARTS THROWING THOSE RIGHT HANDS!
Gavin Kirkland: Why is the referee counting? Those are not closed fists! This referee is so biased towards Madison. They just wanna see Pandora lose this match. They are all so jealous of Devolution!
Deadprez: You are so delusional, Gavin, and finally Pandora opens the fists and gets off of Madison. But that doesn’t stop her from grabbing Madison’s hair again and bringing her back to her feet before whipping Madison to the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Madison comes back AND MY GIRL PANDORA TAKES HER OVER WITH A TEXTBOOK HIP TOSS! NOT ONLY IS SHE BEAUTIFUL, SHE IS AN AMAZING TECHNICAL WRESTLER! WOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: Madison is on the mat AND PANDORA FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE NECK THAT TAKES MADISON DOWN! PANDORA IS USING THE HAIR TO DRAG MADISON BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRREEEEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: AND MADISON KICKS OUT AT TWO! Yeah Madison might be tough, but she is delusional as hell. Does she really think she can overcome a four on one disadvantage? I don’t think she can because this is THE group of Elite Answers Wrestling!
Deadprez: Great commentary from Gavin Kirkland as always but Pandora does have the advantage in this match as she goes back to Madison and brings her back to her feet. Pandora whips her to the corner and Madison lands in the turnbuckle.
Eve: HERE COMES PANDORA AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Madison falls into a seated position and Pandora backs up. PANDORA RUNS FULL SPEED AGAIN AND DELIVERS THAT RUNNING DROPKICK IN THE CORNER–
Deadprez: BUT MADISON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND PANDORA CRASHES AND BURNS! PANDORA FOUND NOTHING BUT THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE AND THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING!
Eve: But that does give Madison a chance to recover as she slowly gets back to her feet as Pandora tries to recover from that ugly landing in the corner. Madison is back up with Pandora slowly following suit AND MADISON HITS PANDORA WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES THE INSURANCE POLICY!! HERE COMES JON KELTON ON THE APRON! He is being a loyal teammate and helping out Pandora when she is in trouble. Now the referee is telling Kelton to get off the apron. Mind your own business, ref!
Deadprez: LOOK AT MADISON! MADISON KALINE WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND THAT KNOCKS KELTON RIGHT OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR! NOW PANDORA IS BACK UP AND SHE GOES TO CLOBBER MADISON FROM BEHIND AGAIN–
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE AVOID MY GIRL, PANDORA? Pandora hits the ropes before she turns around AND SHE IS MET WITH A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Eve: Hmmm. Madison is doing pretty good with the numbers odds against her, isn’t she. I mean she has the advantage right now even with Devolution trying to stick their nose in this match again and again.
Gavin Kirkland: For now. Look at Madison being a cheater with a handful of hair. MADISON KALINE IS SPINNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE AND TAKING PANDORA FOR A RIDE! COME ON REFEREE! THIS IS ILLEGAL!! START COUNTING!
Deadprez: It didn’t seem so bad when Pandora was doing it, but the referee is starting a count and reaches four before Madison lets her go. PANDORA GOES FLYING AND SHE CRASHES AND BURNS FACE FIRST ON THE MAT!
Eve: Madison is just tired of this whole situation and what a feeling it would be if Madison wins this match and sticks it to Devolution. At this rate, it is very VERY possible. Madison is keeping up on the attack with a front facelock.
Deadprez: Madison brings Pandora back to her feet AND TAKES HER OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! BUT ONCE AGAIN MADISON ISN’T THROUGH! MADISON HITS THE ROPES BEFORE SPRINGING ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND FLIES BACK WITH A BEAUTIFUL LIONSAULT!
Eve: Madison is as good now as she ever was and that Lionsault was a prime example because she got all of it! Pandora is holding her stomach in pain as Madison hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: AS EXPECTED, PANDORA PAISLEY KICKED OUT AT TWO! I’ll give Madison some credit. It is admirable that she has managed to last this long in this match against Pandora. But again I say… she is delaying the inevitable.
Deadprez: Maybe it’s Pandora who is delaying the inevitable. There is a good chance that Pandora can lose even with all of her buddies as backup. Right now, Madison drags Pandora closer to the corner and Madison climbs up to the second rope—
Gavin Kirkland: THERE WE GO! HERE COMES HALSEY NEEL ONTO THE APRON TO TRY AND KNOCK MADISON OFF THE APRON, BUT MADISON WITH A RIGHT HAND THAT SENDS HALSEY OFF THE APRON—
Eve: AND THE DISTRACTION PAID OFF AS PANDORA GRABS MADISON AND HAS HER ON HER SHOULDERS! Pandora walks Madison to the center of the ring AND PLANTS HER WITH THE SAMOAN DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: Hahahahaha! DEVOLUTION FOR LIFE!! Again I say, you face one, you eventually face them all. Halsey did her job to throw Madison off her game and look at what it did. Madison planted with a Samoan Drop.
Deadprez: I am surprised Eve hasn’t reached over and just popped you in the mouth, Gavin. But Pandora hits the ropes BEFORE DROPPING THE LEG ACROSS MADISON’S THROAT! SHE GETS BACK UP AND DROPS THE LEG AGAIN!
Eve: Another painful move to the throat, but PANDORA IS BACK UP AND SHE HITS ANOTHER LEG DROP! TRIPLE LEG DROP TRIFECTA HIT TO PERFECTION AND MADISON IS HOLDING HER THROAT IN PAIN!
Deadprez: Now Pandora pulls Madison into a sitting position before she sits down AND APPLIES A BODYSCISSORS! Pandora is doing whatever she can to weaken Madison and take away as much of her arsenal as she can.
Eve: AND PANDORA IS THROWING FOREARMS TO THE BACK OF MADISON’S HEAD! PANDORA MIGHT BE TRYING TO KNOCK MADISON OUT WITH THOSE SHOTS! Madison is in the center of the ring right now, so a rope break is out of the question.
Gavin Kirkland: If that is the case, she might as well tap out and just put an end to all this misery. She can try again another day to get that win she desires. Because right now, it looks like Madison’s chances are dropping with every passing second.
Deadprez: The referee is checking to see if Madison wants to give it up BUT PANDORA ROLLS TO THE SIDE AND CHANGES POSITION! MADISON’S SHOULDERS ARE NOW DOWN ON THE MAT AND SHE HAS BEEN ROLLED UP!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON ROLLS BACK AND REVERSES THE PIN! NOW PANDORA HAS HER SHOULDERS DOWN! HOLD ON A SECOND! MADISON HAS THE TIGHTS! REFEREE! DO YOUR JOB FOR ONCE AND LOOK AT MADISON!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Eve: PANDORA KICKS OUT AND KICKS MADISON FORWARD! Madison flies towards the ropes and SERENITY IS ON THE APRON BUT MADISON WAS ONE STEP AHEAD AND SHE CRASHES INTO SERENITY AND KNOCKS HER OFF THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: That little skirmish took enough time to have Pandora come from behind AND ROLLS HER UP! SCHOOLBOY ROLL UP BY PANDORA, BUT MADISON MANAGES TO ROLL THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED! COME ON PANDORA! GET HER!
Deadprez: Both ladies are back to their feet AND MADISON STRIKES FIRST WITH A SPEAR TAKING PANDORA DOWN AND NOW THESE TWO WOMEN ARE BRAWLING IN THE RING! FISTS ARE FLYING IN THIS MATCH!
Eve: We’ve said this before but Madison is so sick and tired of all the crap she has had to endure in this match because of Pandora’s friends. Pandora is tired of the fact that she can’t put Madison Kaline away. Now they are just beating the hell out of each other.
Deadprez: It wasn’t a matter of if, but when this match was gonna break down. Neither of these ladies would be considered the most popular in EAW, but they sure as hell like Madison a lot more than they like Pandora.
Eve: Madison gets the advantage of the fight as both ladies get back to their feet AND MADISON WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND PANDORA’S WAIST AND DROPS HER WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: That was just a lucky suplex from Madison. Now Madison is climbing up to the top rope. I don’t know what she plans to accomplish up there, but you do you, Madison.
Deadprez: Madison gets her balance on the top rope BEFORE JUMPING OFF! MADISON IS GOING FOR THE “MADDIE BOMB” MOONSAULT, BUT PANDORA ROLLS RIGHT OUT OF THE WAY—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MADISON SOMEHOW LANDS ON HER FEET! Does she think she’s psychic or something? I don’t know, but Madison tries firing off a clothesline AND PANDORA DUCKS IT!
Eve: Madison doesn’t have enough time to recover before Pandora grabs Madison from behind AND PANDORA DROPS MADISON ON HER HEAD WITH THAT BACK SUPLEX COUNTER!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOO! What a sight seeing Pandora drop Madison on the back of her head and now the Hellcat is taking her chance to climb up to the top rope. That’s it, Pandora. This might be it.
Deadprez: Pandora finds her balance on the top rope BEFORE DIVING FOR THE ELBOW DROP! PANDORA IS TRYING TO HIT “THE PRICE TAG” ON MADISON!
Eve: BUT MADISON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST MOMENT AND PANDORA CRASHES AND BURNS ONTO THE MAT AND MADISON CLIMBS UP ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AS SHE WAITS FOR PANDORA TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!
Deadprez: Pandora is back to her feet AND MADISON LEAPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND TAKES PANDORA DOWN WITH A CROSSBODY! MADISON TRIES FOR A COVER BUT PANDORA ROLLS THROUGH IT!
Eve: PANDORA HAS HOLD OF MADISON AND DROPS HER WITH A HAMMERLOCK SLAM! Madison doesn’t stay down for long as she picks Madison up and whips her to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Madison comes out of the corner with a clothesline, BUT PANDORA STAYS ONE STEP AHEAD AND DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE ROPES! BACK TO THE TOP ROPE FOR PANDORA–
Deadprez: BUT MADISON HITS THE TOP ROPE AND SENDS PANDORA DOWN TO A HORRIBLE LANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Pandora won’t be spraining any ankles where she landed.
Gavin Kirkland: Ha ha very funny! Madison quickly climbs up to the top turnbuckle AND GRABS HOLD OF PANDORA BEFORE TAKING THEM BOTH OFF THE CORNER WITH A SUPERPLEX FROM MADISON!
Eve: BOTH LADIES CRASH HARD BEFORE MADISON SLOWLY ROLLS OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: HOLY MOLY! THAT WAS CLOSE! Pandora barely kicked out of that superplex and now both ladies are down and trying to get back to their feet. I can admit this has been a great match.
Eve: Two very determined competitors looking to make a point and prove themselves here on Showdown.
Deadprez: Madison is looking to be the first to get back to her feet. She is using the ropes to help her get back to her feet–
Eve: WHAT THE HELL? HALSEY IS ON THE APRON AND HALSEY HAS HOLD OF MADISON! PANDORA IS BACK UP AND HERE COMES PANDORA TOWARDS THE ROPES AT FULL SPEED! PANDORA LOOKING FOR THE “LOVE TAP” JUMPING KNEE STRIKE–
Gavin Kirkland: AND MADISON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND PANDORA DELIVERS THE “LOVE TAP” TO HALSEY NEEL AND PANDORA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! MISCUE BY DEVOLUTION!
Eve: BUT IT GIVES MADISON SOME TIME TO RECOVER AND GET BEHIND PANDORA AND DRIVE HER DOWN WITH THE “M.O.D”! FAMEASSER SPIKES PANDORA FACE FIRST! NOW MADISON IS DRAGGING PANDORA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING TO POSSIBLY WIN THIS MATCH!
(As Madison is looking to grab Pandora and finish Pandora off, ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts starts playing, catching Madison’s attention.)
Deadprez: When did we start playing music during a match? What the hell is going on?
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t be dumb, Prezzy! You know who that music belongs to, right? That music belongs to the lovely Sienna Jade. Oh the beautiful Sienna Jade.
Eve: But what is Sienna Jade doing here? Is she even here? Whatever is going on, it has Madison’s attention and she is at the ropes looking up the entrance ramp. Whatever the case is, we have Sienna’s music, but no Sienna Jade.
(Madison is glaring at the entrance ramp waiting for Sienna and she is getting angrier by the second the longer she waits.)
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?? GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE, YOU STUPID BITCH!! I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO INTERFERE IN MY MATCH!!
Eve: I don’t know what in the world that was, but the music has stopped and we have no Sienna Jade. Madison is not happy about that at all. She is mad as hell as she turns around AND GETS KICKED RIGHT IN THE GUT BY A WAITING PANDORA! PANDORA GRABS MADISON BY THE HEAD BEFORE SNAPPING FORWARD–
Deadprez: AND PANDORA SPIKES MADISON DOWN WITH “CATASTROPHE”! HEADLOCK DRIVER PUT MADISON ALMOST ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! PANDORA ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! PANDORA IS GONNA STEAL IT HERE! DAMN IT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Just Stop” starts playing again as Pandora rolls off of Madison to loud boos from the crowd before Gina Romano announces the final decision.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner! PANDORA PAISLEY!
Deadprez: I can’t believe it. I mean this was a great match and whatever the hell went down at the end unfortunately put a damper on this match with Pandora taking complete advantage and getting the victory over Madison.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh who cares?!? All that matters is that Devolution is victorious again. GO PANDORA!! Can I have your phone number?
(The referee raises Pandora’s arm in victory before going back to help and check on Madison. Seconds later, Devolution walk into the ring and reraise Pandora’s arms to loud and deafening boos from the crowd.)
Eve: Can you put yourself away for five seconds? How in the world can you condone that, Gavin? Madison might not be the most well liked member of the roster, but she fought her ass off and was close to picking up the win, but the odds just seemed to be insurmountable. But I give all the credit in the world to Madison.
Gavin Kirkland: Give her all the credit you want, but it didn’t help her win the match. I don’t know what is going on with Sienna Jade’s music playing during the match, but regardless, it cost Madison the match.
Deadprez: That was weird. I don’t know if that was mind games on behalf of Devolution to throw Madison off her game. It could have been a message from Sienna Jade herself. I don’t know, but there’s no doubt that we will find out all of this in the coming weeks.
(Devolution is still in the ring and now Pandora Paisley is just glaring into the camera.)
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) YOU SEE THAT MILLI? THAT SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP IS COMING HOME! COMING HOME TO ME!! KISS THAT TITLE GOODBYE!!
(Once again, Devolution raises their arms in victory and solidarity as the crowd continues to boo them down.)
Deadprez: I guess that tells the tale right there. Pandora wants the Specialists Championship bad and that ain’t good for Milli Banks.
Eve: I hope Milli Banks was watching because this is just the beginning of things between Pandora and Devolution and Milli Banks. We will have to talk about that later because we are almost out of time for this edition of Saturday Night Showdown! For Deadprez and Gavin Kirkland, I am Eve. Good night everybody!
(The final shot shows all of Devolution still standing tall in the middle of the ring to the loud sound of boos as the shot fades to black.)
(EAW Logo Buzzes…)
