Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of Showdown last week. Kennedy tells Miku Sakai that she is going to be the leader for Divide and Conquer and that Aria will be in a special brand triple threat match representing Showdown. Miku Sakai defeats Auburn Ware after some interference from Aria before Auburn just snaps and attacks the two of them. The Jaded Hearts come out, once again sending another message to the locker room and accepting the challenge of Fire and Ice. Kennedy Street tells Raeangel Guzman that her championship shot will indeed be at Territorial Invasion. Raeangel Guzman defeats Elly Elle. Miku Sakai has a speech backstage trying to motivate the rest of the people for Divide and Conquer that generally falls flat. Bronson Daniels has an interview with Mikaela Street, opening up on what happened at Pain for Pride and that he wants to somewhat redeem himself. He is looking forward to Wargames. Kassidy Hearts defeats Aria Lestrade. The Brand Warfare team have a team bonding moment playing cricket. Ruler and Ryan Wilson defeat the De la Rosa brothers. Harper uses this to attack the two of them before she gets laid out by TLA. Later backstage, Kyra goes with TLA to interview him, reassuring again that this is his era and he is holding the championship for a reason. Veena Adams is able to defeat Sienna Jade after a distraction from Fire and Ice, but after the match, Myles, Drake come out of nowhere and they attack Veena and Milli, Bronson comes out to try and help them but the number’s game is too much for him and New Eden end up standing tall together.)
(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 Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!
Deadprez: We are here live all the way in Australia ready to bring you another exciting show here tonight! Because surprisingly, a lot of this episode will be team building or opponents trying to co-exist! For you see, we have Divide and Conquer people going against each other! Nikki Kimura versus Luis de la Rosa and Brianna Hill versus Elly Elle, as well as SOSA Henderson and Jon Kelton fighting against a can-they-co-exist?! TLA and Harper Lee!
Eve: We have a crazy triple threat with Charlie Marr, Ryan Wilson and Roberto de la Rosa going at it! And in the main event! Milli Banks and Bronson Daniels team up against Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANYMORE TIME AS WE END UP STARTING OFF WITH THE JADED HEARTS!
(“True Love” by CFO$ starts to play throughout the arena as the fans spring up tot heir feet and cheer as suddenly the hometown girl in Kassidy Heart slowly starts walking out with Sienna Jade, they are The Jaded Hearts. The two women stand at the entrance way and raise their tag team titles as the fans erupt in cheers because they are in Sydney the birthplace of Kassidy Heart.)
Deadprez: Very rare will you ever hear this kind of reaction for the Jaded Hearts, but here we are in Sydney, Australia, where Kassidy Heart is a National Hero!
Eve: It is odd that we are here this reaction, but it makes sense, she is not only from Australia, but she is also here in her Hometown, and we are told there are family and friends in the crowd.
Gavin Kirkland: They should get this kind of reaction every time!
(The Jaded Hearts make their way to the ring apron; Kassidy is seen hugging a few people in the front row that must be family and friends. They then pose, before entering the ring.)
Gina Romano: SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA! PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO SYDNEY’S OWN… KASSIDY HEART AND SIENNA JADE… THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… THE JADED HEARTS!
(A huge ovation is heard as the theme dies down, Sienna and Kassidy are in the ring, both with mics in hand. Kassidy whispers something in the ear of Sienna as she smiles and nods.)
Kassidy Heart: AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
Crowd: OI! OI! OI!
(The fans erupts in cheers again as Kassidy smiles, but it is Sienna Jade that speaks.)
Sienna Jade: Ladies and Gentlemen! Give it up to Sydney’s own…. My tag team partner and bestie…. KASSIDY HEART!
(Another huge eruption of fans cheer as Kassidy almost blushes as she takes to her mic.)
Kassidy Heart: Damn it… it is good to be home!
Crowd: KASSIDY!!! KASSIDY!!! KASSIDY!!!
Kassidy Heart: This really warms my heart that I am back home in Sydney, Australia in front of my fans, family, friends, it feels so good to finally come home! But there is a reason why I left and decided to live with my Gawdness away from this hell hole prison continent.
(The fans are shocked as they suddenly start to boo.)
Kassidy Heart: As the only reason all of you “Blokes” and “Shiela’s” live out here is because you’re too fucking stupid to get out, but I digress.
(Sienna Jade starts laughing as Kassidy scolds her own hometown crowd.)
Kassidy Heart: But while I would love to stand here and talk about Sydney and all of you mindless fucks, what we really came out here to speak about is Fire and Ice. They were able to get one over on us last week while Sienna had that match in hand, causing her to get rolled up by Veena Adams which was ridiculous. Raven Roberts who was just pretty much annihilated by Minerva at Reckless Wiring along with her husband, Rex McAllister, who he too was bested by Cy Henderson and now they think their combined forces can take these titles away from us, you have got to be fucking kidding me!
(The crowd boos as Sienna now takes her turn on the mic.)
Sienna Jade: It is rather sad that I was cheated out of a win last week, and to think they even stand a chance against us is rather comical. Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts have a history of failure, they have their entire career came close, and even stuck around the Main Event scene but could never reach that very pinnacle because lets be honest, they were never that good enough. Yet we are supposed to believe that they did indeed deserve a match against us, because they earned it, right? You know what Kass, I see a team like The British Invasion earning another shot more than they, what do you say?
Kassidy Heart: Totally and they don’t stand a chance either. Let’s be honest, the tag team division is in shambles because we pretty much have dominated every team into breaking up or being pushed to the back of the line, and here is Voltage coming up with another ridiculous Tag Team Turmoil that even my Daddy Gawd is a part of and all we can do is laugh at some of the duos that were put together including The British Invasion, but hey, I welcome Daddy Gawd to wrestle us with his partner, Michael Machina If they are to win and why not, it’s not like we are in danger of losing to Fire and Ice. Honestly Raven, isn’t it getting a little old failing at every direction? This is just another nail in your coffin.
(Sienna Jade laughs as Kassidy Heart just shrugs her shoulders.)
Sienna Jade: And yet here we are wasting our time with you, So how about this? We are in Perth, correct? Why don’t you two come to Showdown and we have ourselves a little contract signing of our own, inviting you over to Showdown so that the happily married couple that can never have kids on their own tell us the sob story of how they will overcome everything and actually try to become the Unified Tag Team Champions only to fail, but hey, you two are used to that, right?
(The crowd continues to boo.)
Kassidy Heart: You people turned your tune over pretty quickly, huh? Typical Sydney, know wonder why I can’t stand any of you, but hey, I at least gave you all a chance to welcome your hometown hero! So how about we celebrate my return!
(Suddenly there is an explosion, as a huge picture of the Jaded Hearts drops down, “True Love” starts to play throughout the arena as balloons and streamers start to drop all over the crowd. They continue to pose while the music and streamers drop.)
Deadprez: Well, guess that was unnecessary but The Jaded Hearts got their point across and have invited Fire and Ice to Showdown next week for a contract signing.
Eve: We should have known that Kassidy Heart doesn’t give a damn about Sydney or anyone here.
Gavin Kirkland: She is still a national hero!
(As Kassidy and Sienna continue to enjoy their celebration as the scene fades into the first commercial break of the evening.)
(The commercial break ends and pans to the ring as Gina Romano is ready to announce the participants for the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following is the OPENING Match of Showdown, and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Vroom’ by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price starts to play throughout the arena as cheers can be heard at the sight of Nikki Kimura as she starts to head towards the ring as she prepares herself to take on her opponent here tonight.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… From West Portland, Oregon… Weighing in at 120 pounds… She is… “THE ANCHOR”… NIKKIIIIIIIII KIMURAAAAAAAAA!!!
(As Nikki Kimura makes it inside the ring and starts preparing herself, her theme song is then replaced by ‘PA’ ROMPERLA” by Bad Bunny and Don Omar. The fans start to boo very loudly as Luis De La Rosa makes his way towards the ring enjoying hearing the fans boo him relentlessly.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent… Residing in Cancun, Mexico… Weighing in at 170 lbs… He is… LUISSSSSSSS DE LA ROSAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura versus Luis De La Rosa, a little “rematch” of sorts from their tag team match at Midsummer Massacre, and best believe both elitists are looking to pick up the win here tonight for bragging rights. Quickly, both Luis and Nikki head to the middle of the ring as both go for a collar-and-elbow lock up. Nikki Kimura would LOVE to get another victory over not just Luis De La Rosa but in a way have another win over La Familia as well, but Luis De La Rosa claims to be a newly “reborn” man after losing the love of his life which you know… An alpha like myself wouldn’t know about losing any woman but it seems for Luis it has made him a stronger and angrier man as he starts to push Nikki Kimura towards the ropes! Luis now using the ropes for assistance as he starts to Irish Whip Nikki Kimura across the ring, she rebounds off the other side of the ring, and Luis looks like he’s waiting for her to hit her with… Doesn’t even matter as Nikki Kimura was able to use the momentum to her advantage to hit Luis with a beautiful Sunset Flip Powerbomb that plants him down on the mat! Wow, what a way to kick this match off and it’s going to probably get even better especially with our BEAUTIFUL guests here tonight, Aria Lestrade and Miku Sakai! Great to have you here with us ladies; how are we feeling about this match so far?!?
Aria Lestrade: It sucks.
Miku Sakai: It really fucking sucks.
Eve: Clearly we’ve got some attitude in the announcers table right now, but we have a match right now where Nikki Kimura was able to gain control of the match against Luis as she starts to quickly pick up the younger De La Rosa back onto his feet. Wasting no time, Nikki picks up Luis for a Suplex and once again drops him down onto the mat, but as Nikki Kimura gets back up she is quick with a Standing Moonsault on Luis as he’s not been able to get any breathing room at all. Nikki Kimura tries to go for a pin, but Luis De La Rosa is able to slowly roll out of the ring as he takes a breather while leaning on our announcers table as Luis looks at both Aria and Miku…
Luis De La Rosa: (off-mic) You two want my phone number? Of course you do…
Miku Sakai: Get away you stupid creep!
Aria Lestrade: You tell him Miku; hey, maybe instead of being an idiot you should turn around as that loser Nikki Kimura is rebounding as she’s looking for a dive outside of the ring- Oh brother! Luis De La Rosa was able to move out of the ring as Nikki crashed onto this table! Someone get the disinfectant out here because nobody wants to deal with that Nikki Kimura stench! Anywho… It seems that Luis De La Rosa is using this to his advantage as he picks up Nikki Kimura and slams her back first into the announcer table once again! Damn… Nikki Kimura really, really, REALLY does suck. Can these two hurry up already so we don’t have to give them any more of our time ain’t that right Miku?!?
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Deadprez: The referee starts the count as Luis ain’t looking like he wants to head back inside just yet trying to use the outside to his advantage and ya’ know what? It’s smart strategy from the younger De La Rosa as Luis starts to pick up Nikki Kimura with ease, sets Nikki up for a NASTY Snap Suplex, and once again targeting that back as her back connects directly on the hardest part of the ring! Luis De La Rosa quickly rolls in and out of the ring to break the count again as Luis starts yelling for Nikki Kimura to get back up. Nikki is slowly getting back up as she uses the announcers table to help herself back up and as she turns around Luis meets Nikki with a Hurricanrana that sends her right down to the ground once again! Luis De La Rosa out here showing his Latino passion as he starts taunting after that beautiful move as he slowly picks up Nikki Kimura and throws her back inside the ring. Luis De La Rosa now slowly gets up on the ring apron while grabbing on the rope as it seems Luis is looking to go for a Springboard Hilo on Nikki… KNEES UP FROM NIKKI KIMURA THOUGH AS LUIS LANDS BACK FIRST ON THEM!!! Luis De La Rosa starts crawling with his back aching in pain after that as he slowly picks himself up using the turnbuckle for support, but Nikki Kimura was more than prepared as she runs towards Luis and is able to connect with a Corner Dropkick right on Luis causing him to fall down onto the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t worry mi familia, that means family in spanish for those who don’t know, Luis is only warming up and soon enough he’s going to pick up the pace… Right now however, Nikki Kimura is going to the top rope as she’s looking to soar the sky with a beautiful Frog Splash that connects effortlessly! Nikki Kimura rolls through though as she knows it’s going to take more to prevent Luis from rolling out once again here tonight, she starts to pick him back up, and looks like she’s going to try and hit him with a Powerbomb by fully lifting up Luis De La Rosa and planting him down on the mat with a full Sitout Powerbomb!!! How strong is Nikki Kimura that she was able to pick up the muscle bound Luis De La Rosa?!?
Aria Lestrade: More like an overgrown child; the kid is TINY and hey rumors have it his height isn’t the only thing that’s small either…
Miku Sakai: The rumors are true; his ring ability is VERY small and VERY limited! If I was in his situation right now best believe I would’ve had a counter for that bitch and this match would’ve ended already! Sadly… Nikki Kimura versus Luis De La Rosa continues on as Nikki is looking for another Moonsault, but this time she grabs the nearest ropes, and goes for a Springboard Moonsault! Oh woooooow how cute; NOT! Luis was able to put HIS knees up now as that back and torso have been targeted throughout the match. If Luis was really as smart as he claims he would’ve already finished this match ughhhh!
Eve: Well both elitits have been going back and forth with each other in an even contest; this match is still anyone’s, but right now Luis is on the offense as he grabs Nikki Kimura by her arm before quickly getting towards the corner and using the ropes to hit Nikki with a beautiful Springboard Assisted Arm Drag, but Nikki able to keep herself from fully hitting the mat as she kneels trying to get back up. Luis De La Rosa though using his speed and agility to quickly put Nikki down on the mat for good goes for a Dropkick that keeps Nikki Kimura down on the mat! Luis showing off his “guns” now before he picks Nikki Kimura up and goes for “Choque De Esquina”! Nikki Kimura is sent into the middle turnbuckle with a vicious Lawndart leaving Nikki dazed and slumped in that corner… Once again Luis flexed his “muscles” after executing one of his signature moves, but honestly speaking this doesn’t seem like a smart idea…
Miku Sakai: Seems like the circus came early with this one eh?
Aria Lestrade: SOOOOOO true! Seems like Luis is finishing up his clown act however as he starts to grab Nikki Kimura from behind trying to set him up for something stupid probably as he pushes her towards the turnbuckle causing her to bounce back and Luis tries to go for…
Deadprez: “Cartel Execution #2”, but Nikki Kimura had enough time to be mentally back in the game as she’s able to turn that Guillotine Choke attempt into a NASTY Fisherman Suplex putting them both back in the middle of the ring as she goes for a cover! The referee is now checking the pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH-!!!
Deadprez: A kick out at two as the match continues on! I gotta say, credit has to be given where it’s due and the fact Luis has been able to last this long without any help from his family in La Familia is quite impressive. It goes to show that maybe he’s evolved as an elitist and he truly HAS started a new leaf here in EAW. Regardless, Nikki Kimura is still trying her best to put down Luis De La Rosa once again by picking him up and as quickly as possible planting him down with a Tigersuplex close to the bottom right corner! Oh maaaaaaan this ain’t looking too good for La Familia’s Luis De La Rosa as Nikki Kimura gets back up with a gnarly Kip-Up and heads to the very top of the rope! ANOTHER MOONSAULT BUT THIS TIME FROM THE TOP ROPE AS SHE GRABS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!! THE REFEREE QUICKLY SLIDING TO CHECK THE PIN AS HE STARTS THE COUNT!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THRE-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: A kick out from Luis De La Rosa as my hermano kicks out just before the three count… Nikki Kimura can feel the victory coming as she yells at Luis to get back up, Luis slowly gets up while Nikki Kimura starts to run the ropes, she rebounds off them, and as Luis is up she goes for “The Hooligan Special”… The Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors is hooked in- LUIS HOWEVER ABLE TO SLAM HER DOWN ONTO THE MAT BEFORE SHE COULD FULLY HIT HER FINISHER AS LUIS STUMBLES A FEW INCHES BACK! Nikki Kimura is back up as Luis De La Rosa catches his breath, Nikki tries to go for a running clothesline on Luis, but he’s able to duck it while running the ropes, and he rebounds off them successfully landing a vicious clothesline of his own! Viva La Raza my amigos!!! Luis now goes to the outer side of the ring apron as he grabs on to the rope and tries to go for another Springboard Assisted Hilo… Landing it without any issues this time while rolling back up on his feet with a cocky smile on his face…
Aria Lestrade: BOOOOOOOORING!!! When is something actually GOOD going to happen huh?!? Better yet, when’s the match going to end because these two are just #stinky and I am sooooo ready to crash out of these two losers make this match go on for longer…
Miku Sakai: Well hopefully this manchild here is about to end this match as he starts telling Nikki to get up as she slowly gets up and before she can be fully conscious, Luis De La Rosa hits her with a Superkick… Can these elitist be more original than using fucking Superkicks?!!
Eve: Well this Superkick is a set up to Luis’ “Double Superkick” as Nikki Kimura is turned on her back from the kick while Luis goes for the Superkick to the back of Nikki’s head which sends her towards the ropes… She rebounds and using all of her own energy with a rush of adrenaline she’s able to hit her own signature Superkick on Luis De La Rosa as both Nikki Kimura and Luis are down on the ring mat! This match has been incredible and best believe whoever can stand up first may be the winner here tonight…
Miku Sakai: Both of them should stay down instead am I right or what Aria?!?
Aria Lestrade: HILARIOUS! You are absolutely sooooo right…
Deadprez: Well it seems both of y’all ain’t getting what you wanted as both Nikki Kimura and Luis De La Rosa are trying to get back up on their feet… Nikki Kimura is using the ropes as support while Luis De La Rosa is pulling on the referee’s clothes as the referee tries to tell Luis to get off him. Nikki is back on her feet still a bit dazed as it seems she’s ready to end this match for good… WAIT WHAT’S THIS?!?
(Someone is seen coming from the crowd from afar as they enter the ring ready to use some Brass Knuckles.)
Gavin Kirkland: “EL PADRINO” ROBERTO DE LA ROSA KNOCKING OUT NIKKI KIMURA WITH SOME BRASS KNUCKLES BEFORE HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS HE CROUCHES ATTEMPTING TO HIDE FROM THE REFEREE!!! C’mon Luis get this win for our people!!!
Aria Lestrade: Your people?!?
Miku Sakai: This cuck is the absolute worst!!!
Eve: Well it seems Luis De La Rosa was able to get back up on his feet after pulling himself up by the referee’s shirt causing this distraction as Luis sees the downed Nikki Kimura and quickly picks her up as he locks in the “Cartel Execution #2”!!! The Guillotine Choke is hooked in and quite frankly I think Nikki Kimura has been out cold all thanks to outside help from La Familia’s own Roberto De La Rosa… The referee checks on Nikki Kimura to see if she can still go and…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner by submission… LUISSSSSSS DE LA ROSAAAAAAAAA
Miku Sakai: I suppose we just give anyone a win nowadays?!?
Aria Lestrade: These people wouldn’t understand the way we think Miku… They’re just not as mentally sophisticated as us. Let them yap on and keep us out here longer than we should be out here for.
Deadprez: Well… Luis De La Rosa is able to pick up a win here tonight and honestly no matter how you see it; he kept his word when he said he was going to win and make Nikki Kimura his first “victim” and that’s exactly what he did here tonight for La Familia…
Eve: All thanks to someone else interfering in said match, but it’s not like Luis De La Rosa or the rest of La Familia care seeing as they see the need to do whatever it takes to get the win even if it includes stopping down to this level.
Gavin Kirkland: That right there is loser talk while we in La Familia will go on to celebrate tonight! A great match with great effort from both but c’mon this is Luis De La Rosa we are talking about! He is the future of this brand and he showed that here tonight!
(Nikki Kimura is seen being checked out by the referee as she’s barely regaining her consciousness while Luis De La Rosa is seen celebrating this victory as Roberto De La Rosa follows behind putting an arm around him as the scene fades to an ad for Territorial Invasion.)
(As the scene comes back from commercial break, Miku and Aria seeing the mess that is happening, end up sighing together and then end up rushing out of the announcer’s table! Seeing that Nikki and Luis are about to come to blows, they slide in and quickly get between the two of them, Miku is able to push Nikki back while Aria moves over and ends up being the one to push Luis back this time. After making sure that all of them were able to be held back successfully, Miku ends up annoyingly asking the announcer to give her a microphone.)
(Miku leans over to snatch the microphone away from the announcer, walking over towards the center and then throwing glares at Nikki and Luis.)
Miku Sakai: Alright, the two of you! CALM THE FUCK DOWN! I do not need any of you acting like little kids right now ready to come to blows, all of you are quite literally heading into a big important match at Territorial Invasion and the two of you are bickering over what? I know you all have been fighting and beating each other’s ass but the two of you just like obsessed exes just living for the drama and wanting more from the other, it is genuinely pathetic! And that is why I am going to make sure right here, and right now, that none of you are going to end up acting like this in any way when we head to Territorial Invasion for such an important match like that. And I am going to have an important talk with ALL OF YOU! So I suggest that the ladies for the next match come out right here and then and we are going to settle this like adults!
(Miku stopped talking as quickly the two women that were out for the next match came out quickly, ‘Swallowing the Rabbit Whole’ by Code Orange comes out and let’s be honest, you should probably expect a lot of negative reactions so far, first came out Elly Elle, mostly a confused expression on her face wondering why she was even coming out in the first place so suddenly before her match, but she somewhat just tried to keep up her usual aspect of slightly femme fatale as she walked down the ramp with confidence, she turned around quickly behind her back, seemingly just… talking with nothing at all and pointing that nothing to go back to backstage before she continues walking down to the ring, everyone in the ring is kind of creeped out as well seeing this slightly crazy woman but they decide to not say anything yet as she arrives towards the ring and enters inside, somewhat waving hello in a friendly manner.)
(And the second woman had even more of a negative reaction, ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo ends up playing and Brianna Hill is not in any mood whatsoever to play ball with any of the people inside of the ring right now except her own teammate Luis, she walked out with an incredibly annoyed expression on her face, waving away the people that were booing her in the crowd and simply concentrating on making sure to get this whole shit done as fast as possible. Brianna arrived towards the ring, moving quickly to go up the steel steps and enter inside, moving over to stand right next to Luis, the two of them crossing their arms as everyone’s music died down, Miku looking around quickly and making sure everyone was there before nodding and speaking up.)
Miku Sakai: Okay, good shit! I was about to drag you out of the locker room if I needed to! Look, I don’t know why all of you are being so negative and so bitchy right now, I ended up saying such an amazing speech to be able to rile you up and give you the motivation that you need to be able to go forward and win the match-
(Everyone there suddenly turns an incredibly confused expression, as Nikki moves over quickly to grab onto Miku’s microphone, responding there.)
Nikki Kimura: I am sorry, what are you talking about?
Miku Sakai: HUH?! What the fuck do you mean what am I talking about? I am talking about the match!
(The rest of the wrestlers get closer as the microphone picks up the conversation.)
Brianna Hill: What match?!
Miku Sakai: DIVIDE AND CONQUER, WHAT ELSE WOULD I TALK ABOUT?
Elly Elle: Kind of a weird thing to bring up out of nowhere though.
Miku Sakai: IT IS NOT, YOU ARE ALL IN THE MATCH! Well, La Familia can pick whichever two they want but I don’t give a damn!
(The rest of the wrestlers there quickly become confused and slightly volatile, suddenly being informed right then and there that they were suddenly put in Divide and Conquer before finally, Luis spoke up.)
Luis de la Rosa: Oh, is that why you were speaking to us all in the locker room last week? We thought you were just having some kind of weird episode, mija!
Miku Sakai: No! I was trying to rile you up and give you motivation to be able to fight with me at Divide and Conquer!
(Everyone finally realizes what Miku meant with that speech last week and once again they are back to looking unimpressed and disinterested, finally, Aria decided to step up and then quickly stand right next to her bestie while she spoke up.)
Aria Lestrade: Alright, can all of you stop acting like babies and just try to play along? It is genuinely irresponsible of all of you to be going into a match like that with that kind of attitude, sure, even it can get tiring that we continue to go and fight for some bullshit about brand supremacy but believe me, there is a reason that you have to actually try for something like this and it is just, well, the usual to be fair! To work hard in that kind of match and show that you have the ability to become a successful wrestler and reign above the rest of them! Look at what I was able to do last year after all!
Brianna Hill: Lose?
Aria Lestrade: Yeah but I still got a free title shot out of it! I’ll take it!
Miku Sakai: Hear out my bestie! We need to be like a unit here for Divide and Conquer, use all of these matches that you have against each other to waste all of the animosity you have on each other or weird hate that you have for the other person, because when heading into this match, as the Captain, I have to be responsible to make sure all of you actually do your fucking job! So if you do not want me to give you another of my incredibly amazing speeches to motivate you once more, then I suggest you actually try in that match and show what the hell we are made of, alright?!
(Everyone else stays quiet, some roll their eyes, they are not up at all for listening to another weird speech from Miku so they simply nod in response. Miku nods back with a confident smile.)
Miku Sakai: Would have liked a ‘yes, captain!’. But that is good enough for me! Nikki, Luis, get the fuck out, it is time for another match!
(Luis and Nikki end up quickly getting off of the ring, Aria and Miku slide out as well and walk back to sit down at the commentator’s table yet again as Elly Elle and Brianna Hill stay in the ring as they go to their respective corners and then quickly get ready for their match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Miku Sakai: As the leader for Divide and Conquer I now declare this match underway!
Eve: I don’t think it works like that… The referee is the one-
Miku Sakai: DING! DING! DING!
Eve: :francis:
Deadprez: Well the match is underway… Brianna Hill vs. Elly Elle! Let’s gooo! Elly is coming off a hard L to Raeangel Guzman last week. Can she avenge herself? Both competitors now locking up in the ring as they fight for early advantage here in this contest. Neither is able to come out ahead however and they break it up before staring each other down intensely. Suddenly Brianna begins throwing punches at Elly and knocks her hard into the corner! Brianna with repeated strikes laying into Elly in the corner who appears to have been take off guard. Elly fighting back with punches of her down but Brianna ducks them and hits a hard uppercut into the ropes! Brianna runs into the ropes with a Running Clothesline sending Elly flipping up over the top rope to the outside! Brianna with an impressive showing at the outset of this match! Can Elly get back in it?
Eve: Elly Elle has fallen down outside the ring and Brianna Hill is coming after her on the outside! A kick to the face as soon as Elly gets back up! Brianna shoves Elly backwards into the ringside barricade and then drags her off and slams her head first into the steel ring steps! But Elly manages to stay on her feet staggering across the floor seeming to try to get back up into the ring to continue on. But Brianna grabs Elly by the leg yanking her back outside the ring and throws her into the steel turnbuckle post outside the ring! No! Elly manages to stop herself and hits a back elbow on Brianna knocking her back! Elly is fighting back now with repeated strikes to the head! Elly now bringing some offense as she fights back against Brianna! Brianna’s head goes right into our commentary desk!
Aria Lestrade: Eeew I think some of her gross cheap makeup just left a stain all over the table. They need to get away from us, they smell worse than Gavin does.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s my new cologne. I knew that it would attract you to me sooner or later Aria.
Aria Lestrade: It is attracting my fist to your face Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: !
Deadprez: Let’s not start fighting out here. Brianna Hill and Elly Elle are doing enough of that for us all! Elly is fighting back as she runs across the floor and hurls Brianna back first into the barricade! Brianna in a bad way now as she is trapped against the barricade and taking stomps from Elly. Elly lifts Brianna back up and pulls her into a Piledriver position! Not on the floor! That’s a sure way to get a broken neck!-
Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill counters that and flips Elly Elle onto her back outside the ring! Brianna grabs Elly and throws her head first into the ringside barricade before lifting her up and dropping her chest first over the steel ring steps! This thing has turned into a street fight and the referee is showing discretion here not counting them out as they try to convince Brianna and Elly to get back into the ring. The referee might have no choice but to administer the ten count here as it doesn’t look like they are interested in getting back in the ring at all! The fighting is now continuing over into the timekeeper’s area!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Miku Sakai: I instructed the referee to begin the ten count. They were waiting for my say so because I am the leader.
Aria Lestrade: Wow you lead the referee’s too? That is wild.
Miku Sakai: Is there anything I do not lead? That is a better question.
Aria Lestrade: That is so true. We really run this place more than whoever the General Manager even is.
Miku Sakai: I would argue we run all of the brands. We are basically the Chairwomen of this company.
Eve: I am not sure that the Board of Directors would appreciate-
Miku Sakai: Shut up Eve!
Deadprez: Brianna Hill throws Elly Elle back into the ring. It looks like the ten count was effective and Brianna doesn’t want this thing to go to a double count out. After Raeangel Guzman defeated Elly last week you just know that Brianna wants to do La Familia proud by getting another W and really prove the entire faction’s supremacy over Elly. Elly will not stay down however as she begins fighting back countering a punch from Brianna and throwing shots of her own! But a hard knee to the gut from Brianna who then whips Elly across the ring! Elly ducks under a Clothesline and runs off the ropes… Elly with a Leaping Clothesline to Brianna taking her down as she got all of it!
Eve: Elly Elle now battering Brianna Hill and fighting back before whipping her across the ring! Elly catches Brianna and tosses her backwards with a Flapjack dropping Brianna face first in the middle of the ring! Elly off the ropes now as she goes up to the middle rope and waits for Brianna to get back up! Diving Axe Handle form the top rope! No! Brianna catches Elly by the throat and transitions into a Chokelam! No! Brianna manages to duck around behind Elly and takes her down with a Side Russian Leg Sweep! The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Kickout from Elly Elle! Brianna Hill only gets a two count in the first cover of this match! Both competitors back up now as Brianna picks up Elly with a Scoop Slam! But Elly falls behind Brianna and runs off the ropes… but Brianna with a Big Boot to the face takes Elly down! Brianna off the ropes with a Running Guillotine Leg Drop! Brianna got all of it and now Brianna with another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Only two! I could watch these two go at it all night!
Miku Sakai: I agree Gavin. After our pep talk they have really stepped it up.
Aria Lestrade: I don’t know if either of them have ever had a good match before this. But it’s like our words caused magic to happen!
Eve: I am sure they have had good matches before this…
Miku Sakai: I really doubt that Eve. You’re supposed to be knowledgeable about this sport.
Aria Lestrade: Very sad to see our commentary staff have basically no wrestling knowledge.
Deadprez: Brianna Hill is now pulling Elly Elle back up… but Elly goes for a DDT! No! Brianna breaks out of it and runs Elly into the corner! No! Elly spins around and drives Brianna’s head into the corner instead! Elly now pounding away at the sides of Brianna who is trapped in the corner! Brianna falls down to her knees and now Elly is pushing her boot against the back of the neck of Brianna! Brianna is getting beaten down as she tries to duck between the ropes with the referee forcing Elly to back off. Brianna gets back up but Elly shoves past the referee and grabs the arm of Brianna pulling her in and throwing her backwards with a Belly to Belly Suplex! Brianna goes flying through the air as Elly goes up to the middle rope and lunges off… Flying Elbow Smash! She gets all of it! Elly to the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!-
Eve: No! The kickout from Brianna Hill! Elly immediately stays on Brianna with a one handed choke around her neck! Elly lifts Brianna and then drops her right back down with a Sidewalk Slam! Elly then applies a headlock to Brianna keeping her grounded. But Brianna gets her foot on the rope and Elly is forced to release it! Brianna staying close to the ropes as she gets back up and Elly charges in… Elly with a Running Clothesline to throw Brianna over the top! No! Brianna moved out of the way! Elly spins around wildly as Brianna grabs her and connects with a Leaping DDT! She gets all of it as Brianna falls into the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!-
Deadprez: Kickout from Elly Elle! Elly stays alive as Brianna Hill pounds the mat in rage. But look now as Luis De La Rosa is coming down to ringside! He is coming out for moral support and cheering Brianna on!
Gavin Kirkland: Why do we have to ruin fine moments like this? I was really getting into Brianna and Elly.
Miku Sakai: I thought it was a pretty trash match myself.
Aria Lestrade: Agreed. It was basura as Brianna or Luis would say.
Miku Sakai: Wow I didn’t know you knew Spanish gurrl. You are so talented.
Aria Lestrade: Facts only. La Familia has begged me to join them but there is no way I would associate with mid.
Eve: Well mid might be what Brianna Hill has to call tonight as it looks like Elly Elle is grabbing her from behind and goes for a Bridging German Suplex! No! Brianna flips out of it! Brianna going around behind the back of Elly and grabs her but Elly slides beneath the legs of her opponent! Elly grabs Brianna by the ankles and pulls her down to the ground! Elly now going to apply a Boston Crab to Brianna! Right in the middle of the ring! Brianna is crawling to reach the ropes! Can she make it! Wait what the! Luis is pushing the rope towards Brianna!
Referee: :francis:
Luis De La Rosa: :whoa:!
Referee: YOU’RE OUTTA HE-
Deadprez: But before the referee can eject Luis from ringside Brianna just flipped over from teh Boston Crab and pulled Elly into a Small Package! Brianna is straight stealing this shit! She getting that W at all costs saying she ain’t play around none!
Eve: SMALL PACkAGE!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!-
Deadprez: Kickout! Kickout! Elly Elle has survived! Luis De La Rosa looks enraged but it seems that the referee has forgotten about ejecting him and is focusing on the match once again!
Miku Sakai: It seems we will have to work on the referees in this company just like we will have to work on the commentary.
Aria Lestrade: This company needed our leadership a long time ago. Clearly.
Gavin Kirkland: I am confused. Aren’t you just the leaders of the Divide and Conquer team?
Miku Sakai: Shut up Gavin.
Eve: I can agree with that sentiment gurl. But this match is continuing on as both women confront each other in the ring and begin exchanging hard forearms! But that only lasts a short while before Elly begins lighting up Brianna with repeated strikes! Elly is gaining all kinds of momentum out here. She is smashing her and Brianna collapses into the ropes! Elly with a Stalling Suplex in the middle of the ring before going up to the top rope! Elly leaps off the top rope!!!
Deadprez: FLYING CROSSBODY from Elly Elle! She gets all of it! The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!-
Eve: But Luis De La Rosa places Brianna Hill’s foot on the rope just in time! The referee didn’t see it but the referee did see the foot on the rope! The match continues!!
Deadprez: The audacity of Luis! I hope he gets fined for this!
Miku Sakai: We really are paying these wrestlers too much. It is destroying the market rate.
Eve: Elly Elly now looking to finish things here! She has had enough of this match! Elly is going for the Ellyliner!!!
Deadprez: No! Brianna transitions into the CRUSH CULTURE!!! Brianna got all of it and goes for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: But Elly gets her foot on the bottom rope!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!-
Deadprez: Luis just shoved the leg of Elly off the ropes and the referee didn’t see it!
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIANA HILLLLLLLL!!!
( ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits as Luis De La Rosa enters the ring to celebrate with Brianna Hill in the ring.)
Eve: Another big win for La Familia! Elly Elle takes another loss after losing to Raeangel Guzman last week!
Deadprez: Tough times for Elly but I think she had this thing won! Luis screwed her over!
Miku Sakai: What is clear is that our pep talk made this possible. We are responsible fully for Brianna’s success…
Eve: Now wait a minute…
Aria Lestrade: She has never won a match before we got involved. Congrats on your first win!
Deadprez: :wth:
(Miku Sakai and Aria Lestrade are shown leaving commentary as they clap condescendingly towards both Brianna, Luis, and Elly in the ring as they are leaving.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Chris Elite patrolling the streets to remove durags from the head of every white man he sees.)
[Screen Bar – Earlier This Week]
(Once again, Showdown fades away from the arena as it quickly switches yet again to another place that the viewers are not familiar with. But the camera slowly backs up and it can be seen that this time, the Brand Warfare team ended up going to a completely new place and it was actually, a bowling alley! The five of them entered quickly through the door and they looked around slightly in surprise to see how vast the bowling was, as various families and friends were playing around together, each one throwing the bowling ball and then trying to get the highest points.)
Jon Kelton: Now THIS I am much more familiar with!
Cody Maverick: See how it is easier for us that you don’t show us random European games without telling us the rules?
Charlie Marr: It was just baseball but a bit more complicated, you could have figured it out, but someone just had to go and resort to violence?
SOSA Henderson: :mjgrin:
Donovan Duke: Since when do you care so much about cricket?
Charlie Marr: What? You think I only watch wrestling or something like a loser? I watch other sports! And there is a lot of value to cricket over in Europe if you did not know!… and also, by the fact I had to bribe those five idiots so they could play against us, and now I wasted it on that.
(The five of them then moved quickly towards the reception desk, ready to get their bowling shoes and get to work. Donovan stops for a moment as he turns over and his eyes sparkle slightly seeing that they were actually bowling shirts on sale that were a deep blue color, he moves over towards Charlie.)
Donovan Duke: Charlie, look at those shirts! Buy some of us so we can be matching.
Charlie Marr: Wha- You think I am made of money, Donovan?! Look at the price of that shirt, and multiplied by five? You want me to end up back in the slums of the U.K? No way!
Donovan Duke: Don’t you live in a mansion-
Charlie Marr: And you don’t think mansions are expensive?! They are bloody drying me out there, those real estate bastards! Can’t you pay for it yourself?
Donovan Duke: I forgot to bring my wallet.
Charlie Marr: And I will have to sell my wallet as well to get some kind of money here so no is no, I got a better idea.
(Donovan quickly glances down at the back pocket of Charlie’s pants and notices his wallet is just full of cash, Donovan wants to speak up, but he decides it is not worth the effort and energy for that right now. Charlie’s bright idea is just to grab some name tags and make everyone wear them to save up money and make them look like they are at least some kind of team. Obviously, everyone else is annoyed about it. They finally get their bowling shoes and are ready to go but Cody and Kelton quickly stop for a moment as the Receptionist Lady remembers something.)
Receptionist Lady: Oh right! By the way! We have a special challenge today for customers! Get a turkey when you are bowling with us, and win an amazing prize?
Cody Maverick: What the hell is a turkey?
Jon Kelton: That is when you get three strikes in a row, and a strike is considered the process of being able to knock down all 10 pins in one go.
Cody Maverick: …how did you know about that?
(Kelton simply shrugs.)
Cody Maverick: Anyway, what is the prize?
Receptionist Lady: …a turkey!
Cody Maverick: …so you get a turkey for a turkey?
Receptionist Lady: Yep, someone in the staff thought it would be very funny.
Cody Maverick: O… kay. We will keep that in mind.
(Cody quickly turns around and moves quickly to leave, not interested at all in getting a turkey but Kelton showed a curious expression on his face as he left as well, definitely interested.)
(The Brand Warfare team is quickly gathered up in one of the dispensers of the bowling balls. Jon Kelton moves over towards one of the small touchpad screens and then quickly puts all of everybody’s names in. The names of everyone can be shown up on the television as Charlie Marr is the first one to step up. Charlie grabs one of the balls, taking a deep breath.)
Charlie Marr: Now, watch and learn and see how the Captain does it!
(Charlie then rushes forward and throws the ball, quickly rolling forward and expecting a straight up strike, before it leans over and is only able to take down 5 pins. In his second try, he is only able to take down two as he grumbles annoyed. Kelton goes this time and as soon as he throws his first ball, he is able to get an immediate strike. Charlie looks over confused and perplexed. Next round!)
Donovan Duke: Okay… let me just…
(Donovan this time is adjusting and putting thought into how he is going to end up throwing this one. He grabs the bowling ball, taking his time to figure this out before he moves forward and then throws it down the alley, and he is able to knock down 8 bowling pins! But on his second try, he got into a situation where the last two pins are very apart so he threw the ball down and he was able to get only one there. It was once again Kelton’s turn, and surprisingly, he was able to get ANOTHER strike! Donovan was left there impressed but he blinked confused at how Kelton was able to pull it off. Next round!)
Cody Maverick: …I think I might not be good at this.
(Cody grabs the ball and stands there, his form very horrible as he does not think it through and he just goes for it, the ball ends up slipping from his hands, and the ball immediately rolls over and it just falls straight into the gutters at the side. Cody once again just goes for it in his second attempt, and it yet again falls onto the gutters. Once again, Kelton grabs the ball, and somehow, someway, he is able to get a THIRD strike! This time Cody looks annoyed and confused at Kelton being able to strike like that.)
Cody Maverick: How are you striking so much?!
(Kelton looks over in silence, and once again shrugs.)
Jon Kelton: Beginner’s luck?
Cody Maverick: Then why the hell do my balls keep falling into that grey thing?
Jon Kelton: It is called a gutter, actually.
Cody Maverick: How do you know all of this?!
(Cody interrogates Kelton while it is SOSA’s turn this time, instead of grabbing it like everyone else with one hand, he just goes in and grabs the bowling ball with two hands, he squats a bit as he starts swinging the ball and then throws it into the air with as much force as he can… before the bowling ball ends up going through the ceiling and causing a hole.)
SOSA Henderson: Do I get any points for that?
Random Old Man: What are you amateurs doing all that ruckus for?!
(Suddenly, the five of them turned quickly to see that five old men wearing matching bowling shirts approached them, they seemed like experts in the bowling game.)
Random Old Man: From what I have seen, all of you suck! Me and my friends back in the day could all pull off a strike blindfolded and with NO ARMS!
Cody Maverick: How the hell is that possible-
Charlie Marr: Wow, wow, gentlemen. Let’s not get in any trouble here, me and my teammates are just having a team building session-
Random Old Man: Don’t speak to me, baldy!
Charlie Marr: Who the hell are you calling baldy, baldy?!
Random Old Man: Clearly you! And we are here to show you that some of you youngings need to be taught some respect! We want to challenge you to a bowling competition! The team that gets the most points accumulated between everybody wins! We will wipe the floor with you!
Charlie Marr: Not this shit again…
SOSA Henderson: Don’t worry, I got this.
(SOSA is quick and ready to chuck a bowling ball at the old man but Charlie moves quickly and stops him.)
Charlie Marr: Wow, calm the fuck down there! We are not going to resort to that again, I want a clean and fair fight here! This is another perfect opportunity for team building and we will achieve that by beating them at their own game, fair AND square!
SOSA Henderson: Since when the fuck do you fight clean?
Charlie Marr: Oh, come on! Cheating in wrestling is like the easiest thing ever, I can’t believe how most of you are just blind idiots, but cheating in other sports? Nah man, people can actually use their eyeballs, I can get actually sued for that and lose MONEY!
(SOSA simply sighs in annoyance as he pulls the bowling ball back and Charlie turns back to the old man.)
Charlie Marr: We accept!
(The Brand Warfare team and the Old Men Bowling Team shake on it, they reset their points and they quickly get to playing, at the start, the old men end up wiping the floor with them in every single way possible, the only one being able to keep up was Jon Kelton. But slowly, everyone started to catch up and give the fight to the old men. They were down now to the wire, and surprisingly, both teams were currently tied at 750 points. Jon Kelton got 300, getting a strike EVERY TIME and getting bombarded with questions every time, which he shrugged off. Donovan got 200, picking it up better than the others, Charlie got 150, middle of the pack, SOSA somehow got 100 just using his chaotic technique of chucking the ball into the air, more holes in the ceiling were formed but he got the points. And now, the last turn landed on Cody, who so far after 11 rounds is somehow still at zero.)
(The men of the Brand Warfare team are relying on Cody here as he moves quickly and throws the ball, and yet again it goes into the gutter. Everyone is stressed as this is the last opportunity here while the old men grin confidently. Finally, Kelton decides to step in and give Cody some genuine advice, with Cody still bombarding him with questions about his knowledge. Kelton stepped back and Cody finally knew a little bit more, he made sure to fix up his posture, think more about it when throwing the ball, and putting his steps right, he takes a deep breath, moves forward and then throws the ball!)
(This time, it does not go down the gutter… but it does end up passing through all of the bowling pins…)
(…except one that knocks down.)
(The scoreboard goes up 751 over 750 and everyone in the Brand Warfare team immediately starts jumping up in excitement and celebrating due to being able to beat a couple of old men in a bowling game. They annoyingly celebrate loudly with the rest of the people in the Bowling Alley looking over as Charlie moves quickly to calm them down.)
Charlie Marr: Good shit, everyone! Good shit! That was some good team building exercise! We can go now and continue another week.
Jon Kelton: Now hold up, I got some good news for you all! We are not leaving empty handed! We will get a whole turkey to eat with!
(Right, Kelton by this point was able to pull off three strikes in a row so the whole team was leaving with some delicious turkey! The five of them moved quickly back towards the reception desk, Kelton walking over with a bright smile.)
Jon Kelton: Completed the challenge, miss. We are here for it.
Receptionist Lady: That is awesome to hear! I will come back then with your turkey!
(The receptionist walks away for a moment, as the five of them quickly wait patiently for their turkey to arrive before finally, the lady arrives and sets it down at the table, as everyone’s widened in genuine shock.)
Receptionist Lady: Ta-dah!
(IT WAS A FREAKING ALIVE CHICKEN!)
SOSA Henderson: This turkey is fresher than I thought!
Receptionist Lady: Oh, uh, well… we didn’t really specify when we ordered, and this is what they sent us.
Cody Maverick: And it is not even a turkey!
Charlie Marr: IT IS A FUCKING CHICKEN!
Receptionist Lady: …oh yeah! How did that happen?
Charlie Marr: WHAT WILL WE EVEN DO WITH A CHICKEN???
(Suddenly, Charlie starts bickering loudly with the receptionist lady while Cody and SOSA try to calm him down, Kelton stands there, completely dead inside at seeing he would not be able to eat any kind of turkey. Donovan though simply just stares in silence, staring off with the chicken before finally Donovan walked over and the chicken just hopped into his arms.)
Donovan Duke: I can keep it!
(Everyone quickly turns to Donovan confused.)
Donovan Duke: I got a family farm so I have some experience with animals, and I can let the chicken there have a new home!
Charlie Marr: Okay, good, that is one problem at least taken care of-
Donovan Duke: And we can even make it the mascot of the team!
Charlie Marr: Shut the fuck up. We are not doing that.
(Everyone quickly turns towards each other, seeing a perfect opportunity to tease Charlie.)
Cody Maverick: I like the idea.
SOSA Henderson: I am down.
Jon Kelton: A mascot symbolizing the pride of our leader, of course.
Charlie Marr: WHAT-
(The four of them start laughing together and then quickly leave with the chicken, Charlie just facepalming in response and shaking his head, finally moving over to pay for the bowling session tonight before he follows along, Showdown fading away on that scene.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef starts playing which signals the arrival of SOSA Henderson. SOSA is wearing his trademark sunglasses and chain as he looks ready for action as he makes his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing in at 191 pounds. He is MR. 24/7! “BULLETPROOF” SOSA HENDERSON!
Deadprez: Here comes Mr. 24/7 and the Bulletproof one is looking to get back to his winning ways after his last match two weeks ago.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, him and Donovan Duke tagged against Charlie Marr and Cody Maverick and everything just broke down and the ref threw the match out. Then they found out that Charlie wanted both of them to be on the Brand Warfare team. Oh boy.
Eve: Last week, the Brand Warfare team had a very interesting time learning to play cricket, but tonight is not a cricket match. It’s a wrestling match and that is something SOSA is well versed in.
(SOSA enters the ring and takes his corner as he starts handing his attire to the referee as ‘Ready For The Fight’ by The Young Punx starts playing and Jon Kelton enters the arena to a positive reaction from the crowd. He looks ready to go as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his tag team partner! Residing in Dallas, Texas! Weighing in at 210 pounds! Here is “THE LAST HOPE” JON KELTON!
Gavin Kirkland: The great SOSA has to team with this whine bag who can’t do anything right. This is going to be a disaster for SOSA!
Deadprez: Will you quit it? Kelton has continuously shown how much work he has put in and he is going to show it again as he is also a member of the Brand Warfare team at Territorial Invasion.
Eve: Two weeks ago, Kelton defeated Raeangel Guzman. Tonight, he is looking to make it two in a row, but his opposition tonight is going to make this a long night.
(Kelton enters the ring and takes a look at his tag team partner as he takes his team’s corner and his music is replaced by ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics. The crowd starts booing as Harper Lee enters the arena. She really does not care what the crowd thinks as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing their opponents! First! From Charlotte, North Carolina! Weighing 118 pounds! Here is “THE STAR PLAYER” HARPER LEE!
Eve: Here comes the opposition starting with Harper Lee and Harper could be the next Answers World Champion if she wins at Territorial Invasion.
Deadprez: Last week, she defeated La Familia’s Brianna Hill in singles action and she also made her presence felt after a tag team match that involved some of her Territorial Invasion opponents.
Gavin Kirkland: She clocked Ryan Wilson with a chair and that was great to see. What won’t be great to see is the implosion if Harper Lee can’t work with her partner.
(Harper enters the ring and scowls at her opponents before taking her corner. Seconds later, the sounds of ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac resonate throughout the arena and the crowd cheers loudly with the appearance of the Answers World Champion TLA! The title is around his waist as he is ready for business as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her tag team partner! Residing in The Poon Palace in Miami, Florida! Weighing 210 pounds! Here is THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! “LA PANTERA SEXUAL” T! L! A!
Eve: Here comes the Answers World Champion! TLA knows that in about three weeks, he is going to be in for the biggest fight of his season thus far when he defends that title in an Elimination Match.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA has been in fights like this before and it won’t be his last either, but right now, he needs to be concerned about making it through tonight considering who his partner is.
Deadprez: Two weeks ago, TLA defeated Roberto De La Rosa. Last week, TLA was standing tall after a brawl between opponents happened. This week, he teams with one of his opponents. Will this work out? Will this be a disaster? We’re about to find out!
(TLA enters the ring and reluctantly takes his team’s corner as he hands his title belt to the referee and his theme fades off. The referee checks all four competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! This tag team match is underway and the referee is telling both teams that they want one and one out. I wonder who is going to start this match.
Deadprez: It looks like Kelton and SOSA have decided that SOSA is going to start this match and Harper has decided for TLA that he was going to start this match for his team.
Gavin Kirkland: Both men lock up in the center of the ring with the bigger TLA getting the early advantage in this tag team match with a side headlock. SOSA is trying to get free BUT TLA SNAPS HIM OVER AND GROUNDS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!
Deadprez: SOSA has been grounded for the moment AS TLA CHANGES HIS HEADLOCK INTO A HEADSCISSORS! TLA’s legs are slowly cutting off SOSA’s oxygen if SOSA isn’t careful.
Eve: BUT SOSA ISN’T DOWN LONG AS HE KIPS UP AND FREES HIMSELF FROM THE HEADSCISSORS! Both men are back to their feet AND WE HAVE A STALEMATE!
Gavin Kirkland: Let’s be honest here for a second. Which team do you think has the true advantage? TLA and Harper aren’t going to get along because they are Champion and future challenger.
Eve: I would say that SOSA and Kelton have the advantage but it could be rocky at best considering the match they had a few weeks ago with SOSA taking a shortcut, but maybe Brand Warfare has created at least a mutual understanding.
Deadprez: Meanwhile, TLA whipped SOSA to the ropes and SOSA came back LOOKING FOR A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER BUT TLA MANAGED TO LAND ON HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA comes in and goes for TLA BUT TLA CAUGHT SOSA IN THE FACE WITH A BACK ELBOW THAT SENDS SOSA STAGGERING BACK!
Eve: TLA grabs SOSA and picks him up BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A POWERFUL SLAM! TLA hits the ropes before coming back AND HITTING A LEG DROP RIGHT ACROSS THE THROAT!
Deadprez: Beautiful move by the Answers World Champion as he picks SOSA up and whips SOSA to his team’s corner. TLA is wanting to tag in Harper, BUT SHE IS NOT WANTING TO ACCEPT THE TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: Come on, Harper! You have your title shot. The least you could do is tag into the match, BUT HARPER IS STILL REFUSING THE TAG! To further prove her point, Harper turns her back to TLA–
(TAG!)
Deadprez: WHETHER SHE LIKED IT OR NOT, SHE IS THE LEGAL PARTICIPANT IN THE MATCH NOW! Harper is shocked at the treatment she just experienced as she enters the ring after the referee threatened to disqualify her.
Eve: She looks to be in a bad mood, so that’s nothing new. But SOSA is still in the corner and Harper is putting the boots to her opponent. Now the referee is telling Harper to let SOSA out of the corner before starting a count.
Gavin Kirkland: Harper pulls him out of the corner on four AND SHE CLOBBERS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! ANY OF THE AGGRESSION SHE HAS TOWARDS TLA, SHE’S GONNA TAKE IT OUT ON SOSA!
Eve: SOSA is holding his throat in pain as Harper finds her way to the second rope as SOSA is trying to get back to his feet. SOSA is up and HARPER COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE LOOKING FOR A CROSSBODY–
Deadprez: SOSA LEAVES HIS FEET AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE BREADBASKET! THAT CERTAINLY KNOCKED THE WIND OUT OF HARPER!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is already using the lack of chemistry that his opposition has against them and Harper paid the price. I don’t think TLA’s heart is too broken about that.
Eve: That is easy to tell as Harper Lee has a hard time getting along with ANYBODY, especially with someone who has something that she thinks will belong to her. Be that as it may, SOSA has Harper and whips her to the his corner–
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Kelton is tagged into the match and Harper gets a boot for her troubles and is doubled over. Kelton and SOSA have a facelock applied AND THEY TAKE HARPER OVER WITH THE DOUBLE SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: I thought that this would be a can they coexist type of situation, but I guess I am looking to be wrong at the moment because SOSA and Jon are working so far so good.
Deadprez: Kelton keeps control of Harper Lee and he brings Harper back to her feet before LIFTING HER UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
Eve: Kelton lifts Harper up again and whips her to the ropes. Harper with the rebound as she RUNS INTO A WAITING KELTON WHO PICKS HER UP AND DROPS HER WITH A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper’s back is taking more damage as Kelton stays down and hooks both of Harper’s legs for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
TH-
Eve: HARPER KICKS OUT AT TWO! Near fall by Jon Kelton for the first cover of the matchup. Kelton doesn’t waste a second as he brings Harper back to her feet and puts her onto his shoulders–
Deadprez: THE EYES! HARPER’S CLAWING KELTON’S EYES AS KELTON WAS GOING FOR A RUNNING POWERSLAM! Harper slides off of Kelton’s back AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE SPINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton goes stumbling forward as Harper quickly grabs Kelton by the side of the head AND RUNS HIM TOWARDS THE CORNER–
Eve: HARPER WITH A BULLDOG IN THE CORNER AND KELTON GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Harper is now on the apron as she climbs herself back up to the top rope.
Deadprez: Too close for comfort as Kelton was back on his feet when Harper made it to the top rope BUT HARPER QUICKLY JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TRIES FOR THE DIVING CROSSBODY AGAIN–
Gavin Kirkland: THIS TIME THE CROSSBODY CONNECTS AND HARPER TAKES KELTON DOWN TO THE MAT AND SHE QUICKLY GRABS KELTON’S LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THH-
Deadprez: KELTON ROLLS THROUGH AT TWO AND NOW HE IS ON HIS FEET WITH HARPER IN HIS GRASP, BUT HARPER IS ONE STEP AHEAD WITH AN ARM SCISSORS COUNTER!
Eve: Kelton was sent for the ride as Harper quickly follows up WITH A ELBOW STRIKE TO THE BACK OF KELTON’S HEAD KEEPING HIM DOWN! Now Harper has a handful of Kelton’s hair–
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER IS SMASHING KELTON’S FACE INTO THE MAT! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! HARPER IS NOT LETTING UP, BUT NOW SHE HAS TO WITH THE REFEREE TELLING HER TO LET GO OF THE HAIR!
Eve: The referee is once again counting Harper out and she is once again forced to let go of her illegal tricks on four to risk being disqualified on five. Harper again has the hair as she drags Kelton to her corner and Harper is reaching out for a tag–
Deadprez: TLA ISN’T ACCEPTING THE TAG! TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY! TLA is returning the favor of what Harper did to him earlier and Harper doesn’t like that one bit.
Gavin Kirkland: Normally, I would say something to support Harper. She’s a beautiful lady, but even I can admit that sometimes she makes things difficult for herself–
(TAG!)
Eve: HARPER LEE JUST SLAPPED TLA ACROSS THE FACE! NOBODY LIKED THAT ONE BIT! LISTEN TO THE CROWD JUST BOO HARPER LEE AND FOR SOME REASON, THE REFEREE IS COUNTING THE SLAP AS A LEGAL TAG!
Deadprez: The referee might just think screw the rules on what is considered a tag, but be that as it may, Harper and TLA switch places as they have a few choice things to say. Now TLA goes back to Kelton–
Gavin Kirkland: THE FIGHT GAVE KELTON MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER! TLA WAS GOING TO BRING KELTON BACK TO HIS FEET AND KELTON CAUGHT TLA WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE–
Eve: TLA KICKS OUT AT TWO AND KELTON ABOUT STOLE THE MATCH RIGHT THERE! Both men are back to their feet AND TLA IS FIRST TO STRIKE!
Deadprez: TLA IS FIRING THOSE LIGHTNING QUICK STRIKES AND COMBOS THAT HAVE KELTON DISORIENTED AND ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! TLA fires a right hand that turns Kelton around.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA hooks Kelton’s arms AND DROPS HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH THE TIGER SUPLEX! Kelton rolls through AND TLA FOLLOWS UP WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS KELTON THROUGH THE ROPES!
Deadprez: TLA looks to take Kelton off the apron, BUT KELTON DUCKS THE SHOT AND DELIVERS A SHOULDER TACKLE TO SEND TLA STUMBLING BACK–
(TAG!)
Eve: Harper just tagged herself in! We can hear Harper tell TLA to get out of the ring and watch how a real World Champion doesn’t screw up a match like this. Kelton is trying to get back into the ring–
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER KICKS THE MIDDLE ROPE AND CATCHES KELTON LOW AS HE FALLS INTO THE RING! Harper has Kelton and quickly pulls him up AND JUMPS IN THE AIR BEFORE SPIKING HIM WITH THE JUMPING DDT!
Eve: The force of the move helps Kelton get back to his feet, but Harper is right there to follow up the DDT WITH THE “DRAGON FIST”! WHAT A RIGHT HOOK BY THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!
Deadprez: KELTON MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN KNOCKED OUT COLD AS HE FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER! Harper runs towards the corner AND SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE BICYCLE KICK–
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA JUST PULLED KELTON OUT OF THE CORNER! NOBODY HOME AND HARPER FINDS NOTHING BUT THE TURNBUCKLE! Harper comes limping out of the corner–
Eve: SOSA AND KELTON RUN BACK WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES HARPER DOWN! GREAT TEAMWORK BY THE TEAM OF KELTON AND HENDERSON!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: SOSA tags back into the match and he goes right up to the top turnbuckle! SOSA with style and flair AS HE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: “SOSA BOMB” BY SOSA HENDERSON! WHAT A SWANTON BOMB! DIRECT HIT ONTO HARPER LEE AS SOSA PULLS HARPER OUT OF THE CORNER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: HARPER KICKS OUT AT TWO! That was a close near fall by SOSA Henderson and SOSA drags Harper back towards the corner and he ascends to the top rope once again.
Eve: SOSA is looking to finish this match once and for all–
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER WAS PLAYING POSSUM! HARPER GETS BACK ON HER FEET AND RUNS FULL FORCE INTO THE TOP ROPE AND THAT CAUSES SOSA TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND HAVE AN UGLY LANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: SOSA trying to recover on the top turnbuckle, and he starts falling forward AND HARPER IS NOW STANDING ON THE SECOND ROPE! HARPER GRABS SOSA AND USES THE MOMENTUM OF SOSA FALLING FORWARD–
Deadprez: TO HIT “RAGNAROK” FROM THE SECOND ROPE! WHAT AN OLYMPIC SLAM FROM HARPER LEE! HOLY CRAP! WHAT A MOVE BY HARPER LEE AND HARPER HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO AND HARPER LETS OUT A SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION BEFORE SHE MOUNTS SOSA AND STARTS THROWING FISTS IN SOSA’S FACE!
Eve: The referee counts Harper with the fists and she stops the punches on four as SOSA shoves Harper off of him. Both competitors are back to their feet–
Deadprez: SOSA WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT CATCHES HARPER IN THE TEMPLE AND SENDS HER STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CORNER–
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND TLA AGAIN RETURNS THE FAVOR BY TAGGING HIMSELF IN! THESE TWO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE SAME PAGE EVER SINCE THE BELL RANG! I’m surprised that those two have lasted this long.
Deadprez: Harper and TLA are once again bickering against each other BUT HERE COMES SOSA! SOSA GRABS TLA BY THE WAIST AND SENDS HIM TO THE ROPES AND THAT KNOCKS HARPER OFF THE APRON!
Eve: SOSA rolls back AND HAS TLA IN THE O’CONNOR ROLL! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! WILL SOSA STEAL THE MATCH HERE?
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA REVERSES THE MOMENTUM AND NOW IT IS SOSA WHO HAS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN! IS SOSA’S ROLLUP GONNA COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM?
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Eve: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO! Both men are back to their feet after the rollup and TLA is the first to strike with a right hand, BUT SOSA FALLS BACK AND USES THE ROPES TO HELP WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!
Deadprez: TLA stumbles back as SOSA gets back to his feet AND TLA GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT SOSA DUCKS THE SHOT!
Gavin Kirkland: Now SOSA grabs hold of TLA AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX, BUT TLA ROLLS THROUGH AND LANDS ON HIS FEET BEHIND SOSA AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH THE ZIG ZAG STYLE MOVE!
Eve: SOSA’s head bounces off the mat and he finds himself right into the ropes AS TLA RUNS FULL SPEED AND SWINGS THROUGH THE ROPES FOR THE “305” TIGER FEINT KICK–
Deadprez: TLA is back in the ring as SOSA gets back to his feet AND CATCHES HIM WITH BICYCLE KNEE TO THE JAW!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER AS SOSA CROUCHES DOWN AS HE LOOKS READY TO STRIKE ONCE MORE! TLA starts stepping out of the corner AND SOSA RUNS FULL SPEED–
Eve: SOSA WAS RUNNING IN FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A SPEAR, BUT TLA CATCHES HIM WITH A KNEE BEFORE FOLLOWING UP WITH AN ELBOW!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA WAS CAUGHT RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THOSE SHOTS AND SOSA MANAGES TO STAY ON HIS FEET AND HE STUMBLES BACK! NOW TLA CLIMBS HIS WAY ONTO THE SECOND ROPE! TLA IS WAITING FOR SOSA TO TURN AROUND AND WHEN HE FINALLY DOES–
Eve: TLA CAME OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND CAUGHT SOSA WITH THE “VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT”! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT HITS SOSA IN THE JAW AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!
Deadprez: Both men are on the mat and the referee is checking both competitors, but they elect to not start a count because they are both barely moving as they roll on their stomachs and begin crawling to their corners.
Gavin Kirkland: At this point, it’s going to be a race to see which person will be able to tag out to their partner first. The first tag might determine who wins this match. Then again, one of them is Jon Kelton so anything can be screwed up.
Deadprez: SOSA AND TLA ARE CRAWLING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS, SOSA IS CLOSER TO HIS CORNER AS KELTON IS REACHING FOR THE TAG! SOSA IS ABOUT A FOOT AWAY–
(TAG!)
Eve: SOSA with a leap of fate and he managed to get the tag to Jon Kelton and Kelton is running full speed towards TLA! Kelton grabs TLA by the leg and pulls him back up! TLA is on one leg–
Gavin Kirkland: TLA WITH AN ENZUIGIRI RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF KELTON’S HEAD BEFORE CATCHING HIS HEAD ON THE WAY DOWN AND FOLLOWING UP WITH A DDT!
Eve: Kelton was planted and TLA has a straight path to Harper Lee AND HARPER LEE IS REACHING FOR THE TAG! ARE WE SEEING THINGS? SOMEBODY CHECK THE FORECAST IN HELL BECAUSE I THINK IT JUST FROZE OVER!
Deadprez: This is legit, Eve, and TLA is about a foot away from Harper Lee as Kelton is slowly starting to recover SO TLA LEAPS FOR THE TAG–
(As TLA goes for the tag, Harper snatches her hand away at the last possible second and jumps off the apron leaving TLA with an almost stunned look on his face.)
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE JUST JUMPED OFF THE RING APRON! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, HARPER? TLA WAS LOOKING FOR THE TAG SO YOU ALL COULD HAVE WON THE MATCH! I GUESS HARPER HAD ENOUGH OF THIS MATCH!
Eve: AND SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF TLA! THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! HARPER LEE JUST STUCK IT TO THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! HARPER LEE IS ONCE AGAIN ONLY CARING ABOUT HARPER LEE!
Deadprez: Harper and TLA have locked eyes and this was Harper’s plan all along. Look at that devilish smirk on her face. She didn’t really care about winning this match as much as she let on this week.
(Harper Lee gives TLA a nice wave as she leaves ringside and heads up the entrance ramp!)
Gavin Kirkland: As much as it sucks that it was TLA that it happened to, but Harper is looking to make a statement for Territorial Invasion as well as get a little payback after what happened last week.
Deadprez: TLA is not happy about that one bit. He might have seen this possibly happening, but he still isn’t very happy about it. Harper Lee doesn’t care and she’s heading right back to the locker room.
Eve: TLA is focused on Harper Lee BEFORE KELTON RUSHES OVER AND PLANTS TLA WITH A TWIST OF FATE! TLA GOES FACE FIRST AS HE BOUNCES BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Now TLA was doubled over after the boot from Kelton. Kelton hits the ropes before rebounding AND CATCHING TLA WITH “THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT”! WHAT A SHOT! About time Kelton did something without crying.
Eve: TLA MIGHT HAVE HAD HIS LIGHTS DIMMED AFTER THAT KNEE STRIKE FROM KELTON! THAT HARPER LEE IS SUCH A BITCH! THIS MATCH IS ACADEMIC AT THIS POINT AS KELTON GOES TO HIS CORNER—
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Kelton tags out to SOSA Henderson and SOSA is stalking his prey in what could possibly be the end of the match. Holy shit! LOOK AT TLA’S EYES!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA IS PISSED! HE IS GLARING UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP AT THE LEAVING HARPER LEE AS HE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER THE KNEE STRIKE FROM KELTON!
Eve: Pissed might be an understatement and I don’t know if TLA realizes that SOSA got the tag! TLA is back on his feet as he turns around and possibly to his doom—
Deadprez: STOLE! YO! BITCH! SOSA GOT THAT RKO CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE AND THERE WAS NO CHANCE THAT TLA SAW THAT COMING! TLA IS DOWN AND SOSA DRAGS TLA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Faneto” starts playing again as SOSA rolls off of TLA to a mixed reaction from the crowd as Gina Romano starts announcing the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners… the team of SOSA HENDERSON AND JON KELTON!
Eve: As great as the match was, I can’t say that I am surprised that the match ended like this. Goes to show that Harper Lee can’t team with ANYBODY! Be that as it may, SOSA HENDERSON JUST PINNED THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! IF THAT ISN’T A CONFIDENCE BOOSTER, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!
Deadprez: It was a shame to see the match just crash completely for TLA, but unfortunately, that is the nature of a tag team match situation. Especially when a team really doesn’t like each other. I hope Harper is proud of herself. But I do agree with you, Eve. Pinning the Answers World Champion has sent SOSA’s stock rising in the contendership for the Answers World Championship. Especially when SOSA and TLA were close to meeting up at Midsummer Massacre in SOSA’s cash in attempt.
(SOSA is back to his feet as Kelton has also entered the ring. The referee raises both their arms in victory for a moment before going back to check on TLA. Kelton and SOSA look at the fallen TLA before they leave the ring and head up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: Look at that! Jon Kelton actually won. He should be happy right now. It rarely happens for him. He should put SOSA Henderson on his Christmas list or something.
Eve: You can be such a jackass sometimes. You are making light of a situation where TLA was royally screwed out of this match. Not to take away from SOSA and Kelton, but TLA had no chance after Harper left him high and dry.
Deadprez: I feel bad for TLA, but I hope that Harper knows what she did because TLA is going to make sure that she pays for that stunt. Either way, this match belongs to the Brand Warfare duo of Jon Kelton and SOSA Henderson! Congrats once again on their victory here tonight.
(The final shot shows SOSA and Kelton celebrating their victory as they continue up the entrance ramp before cutting to TLA who is now sitting up in the ring, shaking his head and looking a mix between disgusted and disappointed as the camera cuts to a commercial break for Territorial Invasion travel packages to Korea. And they are not cheap.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen at this time please welcome… Raeangel Guzman!!!
(Raeangel Guzman steps out onto the stage as “Tear Away” by Drowning Pool blasts across the speakers. The crowd boos loudly.)
Deadprez: Raeangel Guzman has really been stepping it up in recent weeks. She got a big victory over Elly Elle last week.
Eve: But it was not without controversy as… well we are about to see the reason why.
(The crowd boos louder as La Familia steps out onto the stage behind Raeangel Guzman following her down to the ring.)
Deadprez: Luis De La Rosa, Brianna Hill, and Roberto De La Rosa were all a big reason why Raeangel won her match last week and why she has been on such a run. Many people think she can’t cut it on her own!
Gavin Kirkland: Well, the difference between her and those people is that she actually can cut it. Unlike those losers who can’t appreciate a strong beautiful independent Latina!
Eve: Damn you glazing already huh?
Gavin Kirkland: TE AMO MI REINA!!!
Eve: :francis:
(The music slowly stops as Gina Romano leaves the ring and passes her microphone off to Kyra Phillips who enters the ring to conduct the scheduled interview with Raeangel Guzman.)
Kyra Phillips: So Raeangel we are out here to ask you with all that has been going on in your career what is next for Raeangel Guzman?
Raeangel Guzman: Uh really Kyra? That’s what you brought me out here to ask? La Familia’s time is precious. But you are wasting it. Fine, I’ll entertain you. It should be obvious. I have an EAW Specialists Championship opportunity? Why? Because I am a special competitor. All of you idiots out in the crowd don’t realize it yet, but you are looking at the next EAW Specialists Champion! Get a good look!
(Raeangel Guzman spins around in the ring as the crowd boos but the other members of La Familia are shown clapping for her.)
Raeangel Guzman: You all want to disrespect me? The hottest rising star in all of EAW? And I do mean ALL of EAW. I mean look what happened. KASAI and Daniella Atlas couldn’t cut it. But I can. And I will! I am the face of Showdown and will take this brand over as your Specialists Champion. The top women’s championship in all of wrestling belongs around the waist of the premiere women’s athlete on EAW. Kassidy Heart who? Minerva what? Cameron Ella Ava why? These are all old hags who have hung on far too long and don’t understand that Raeangel Guzman is going to make all of their careers look like warm-ups in comparison to what this company is capable of producing. We are about to come out of the Dark Ages my friends! And I… Raeangel Guzman shall be the light that leads the way!
(Raeangel Guzman gets up on the top rope and spreads her arms out wide as the crowd boos. She looks offended by the crowd’s disrespect as Roberto and Luis get out of the ring and begin yelling at individual audience members to shut up.)
Luis De La Rosa: (off-mic) CALLATE PENDEJOS!!!
Raeangel Guzman: You had better listen… I mean did you all see what happened to Elly Elle last week? I made short work of her and showed her why she doesn’t even belong in the ring with me. I am el oxigeno of EAW. You all breathe because I allow you to breathe! If you disrespect me I will piss on everything that you know and love! I am a sophisticated woman and unlike my competition I actually back up my talk in the ring. Half of this roster is running their mouths, but they don’t produce results. I produce results every time! There has not been a rising star in EAW of my caliber for at least five years and if we are being honest, there has not been a rising star in EAW of my caliber ever. But some of them were pretty good… for their era I suppose. And the scary thing is… Tell them Kyra. How long have I been here?
Kyra Phillips: Umm I think like three or four months?
Raeangel Guzman: Great journalism. Get a specific date next time honey. But regardless… I have already had a Hall of Fame career and I’m only a few months in. I am the one who removed Hardcore Luna from the picture in EAW. I told her goodbye bitch, and she was sent packing because we don’t allow losers and gutter trash in my locker room. We are elevating the median wrestler here in EAW. I look around and the “average” EAW wrestler is someone who can barely speak with mental disabilities who loses 90% of their matches and occasionally gets a “here damn” win against someone even more mentally handicapped than they are.
Kyra Phillips: We have to apologize to our viewers. EAW does not endorse this lang-
Raeangel Guzman: Oh, I’m so sorry! Did I trigger some of you idiots at home with the truth? So sad! But you will be even angrier when you realize I wasn’t just disrespecting someone in the abstract. I was talking about ALL OF YOU! At the end of the day, you people will all sit and watch me succeed, while you all struggle only to fail in the end. Because you could never even get a Specialists Championship opportunity. Most of you will probably never even win a match unless your opponent quits EAW before the match. A broken clock is right twice a day right? And that is what all of the inferior competition backstage is. I am literally offended that I have to come out here and speak in front of all of you. So, Kyra next time you have such a stupid obvious question, please contact my agent and I’ll send you a prerecorded message or something. “wHaT iS nExT fOr YoU?”. EVERYTHING IS NEXT FOR ME! SHUT THE HELL UP I’M TELLING YOU ALL A FUCKING SPOILER! I WILL BE THE NEXT SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!
(Raeangel Guzman shoves Kyra Phillips back causing her to drop the microphone as she storms out of the ring angrily and the crowd continues to boo loudly.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring the announcement that Brazil is banning EAW Social Stream in their country.)
(The scene fades into the backstage area and interviewer Mikaela Street stands in front of a Showdown banner. Mikaela has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she begins to speak.)
Mikaela Street: Thank you, Deadprez! Ladies and gentlemen! Let me tell you that tonight’s Showdown has been a must see show thus far and there is only more action to come including tonight’s Tag Team Main Event.
Mikaela Street: That’s only expected due to being only three weeks away from the Territorial Invasion event that includes the namesake Brand Warfare and War Games matches.
Mikaela Street: But that’s not all since we have so many matches already on tap and one match in particular I am thinking about is an amazing ladie’s interbrand triple threat match with one competitor representing each brand.
Mikaela Street: So allow me to introduce my guest at this time. This young competitor will be representing Showdown in the Triple Threat Match. Allow me to welcome Aria Lestrade!
(The camera shot widens a little as Aria Lestrade enters the frame. In the background, you can hear the sounds of the crowd in the arena booing Aria out of the building. Aria rolls her eyes before looking back at Mikaela so the interview can begin.)
Mikaela Street: Thank you so much for giving us a moment of your time for this interview.
Aria Lestrade: Yeah yeah. The pleasure is all yours.
Mikaela Street: Alright then. First question. How do you feel about being selected as the Showdown representative for this match against Dynasty and Voltage?
Aria Lestrade: If I want to be honest, I would have loved to team with my bestie Miku Sakai at Territorial Invasion. But after thinking about it, I was accepting and ready for the opportunity to show the world once again what Aria Lestrade is all about.
Aria Lestrade: I mean seriously. Any chance you get to establish superiority for not only your brand, but for yourself, I welcome the chance to show why I am the superior competitor in that match.
Mikaela Street: I think that the loyal Showdown fans as well as the management on Showdown really appreciate your confidence, but what do you have to say about your two opponents at Territorial Invasion? Holly Arrow and Diamond Dixon?
(Aria rolls her eyes at the thought of her opposition at Territorial Invasion before she answers Mikaela’s question.)
Aria Lestrade: What about them, Mikaela? Holly Arrow is an old hag just trying to hold onto any spotlight she can while Diamond Dixon has just returned to full time competition this season. She’s not in my league.
Mikaela Street: Are you sure you want to be saying things like that? Holly Arrow is a former Tag Team Champion and Diamond Dixon has shown in her matches that she is a very formidable competitor in the ring.
(Aria shoots a dirty look at Mikaela before she continues on.)
Aria Lestrade: Don’t question me, Mikaela. I know exactly what I am saying and what I am saying is the truth.
(Mikaela puts her hands up in surrender as she doesn’t want to push the issue any further and get on Aria’s bad side.)
Aria Lestrade: For some gawd awful reason, the fans are absolutely doting on these two like there is something special about either one of them. NEWSFLASH! They aren’t special and they never will be.
Aria Lestrade: Holly Arrow might have been a Tag Team Champion not too long ago, but that’s the best things are going to get for her. Maybe she should saddle up and hit the old dusty trail and ride off towards the land of retirement.
Aria Lestrade: And Diamond Dixon… oh Diamond. She should honestly be thanking me. Because of me, she will be having the best match of her in ring career at Territorial Invasion… and the same thing goes for Holly as I make her relevant again.
Mikaela Street: From the sound of things, it sounds like you are pretty much guaranteed that you are going to win the triple threat match at Territorial Invasion. Is that the case?
(Aria pats Mikaela on the shoulder and gives her a smile before she answers Mikaela’s question.)
Aria Lestrade: That’s why you are one of the best interviewers in the business because that’s exactly what I am saying. I am guaranteeing that I am winning the match at Territorial Invasion and bringing the victory to Showdown.
Aria Lestrade: Think about it, Mikaela. Look at Holly. Then look at Diamond Dixon. Now look at me. This isn’t going to be a fair fight for those two. They stand absolutely no chance in hell of winning that match.
Aria Lestrade: Also, it doesn’t hurt that I know that, not if, but WHEN I win at Territorial Invasion, that our General Manager Kennedy Street will reward me for my hard work, my dedication, and for my dominating win. Because whether people want to admit it or not, they realize that I am going to win this match.
(Mikaela doesn’t verbally respond, but she does offer Aria a shrug of her shoulders.)
Aria Lestrade: Oh come on, Mikaela! It’s ok to admit that I am right. I mean you do work on Showdown and there is nothing wrong with showing support for a Showdown Elitist as she royally kicks a couple of dumb bitches’ asses. Representing Showdown and showing the world that the best competitors, as in ME and my bestie Miku, reside on the blue brand.
Aria Lestrade: In all seriousness, Mikaela, I think that Holly and Diamond should take the easy way out so they can save face. Because they are just going to embarrass themselves and their brand if they actually go through with this match.
Mikaela Street: Why would you think that?
Aria Lestrade: That’s because if they decide to step in the ring with someone as determined as me, it’ll be their own funeral because the beating I plan to give both Holly and Di–
(Before Aria can finish her sentence, we hear a thud as Aria is struck from behind and she falls to the ground and holds the back of her head in pain and Mikaela can’t believe what is happening.)
Mikaela Street: What in the hell was that?
Gavin Kirkland: I agree what in the hell was that? Aria Lestrade attacked from behind and I wonder who the culprit is? Show me who they are so we can have them arrested.
(The camera is showing Aria on the ground after being blindsided. Seconds later, the camera moves up to show who attacked her… AUBURN WARE! Auburn looks down with a smirk on her face while Mikaela still has a look of shock on her face as to how quickly this interview has broken down.)
Eve: IT’S AUBURN WARE! AUBURN FROM BEHIND AS SHE HAS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A RIVALRY WITH ARIA! I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT AUBURN WANTS A LITTLE PAYBACK!
(Auburn drops down and brings Aria back to her feet and both women begin to throw punches at each other’s faces and the women begin to brawl forcing Mikaela to step back to avoid getting in the middle of the brawl.)
Mikaela Street: WE NEED SOME HELP BACK HERE! WE NEED SECURITY BACK HERE!
Deadprez: It’s safe to say that this interview is over as these two women are just tearing each other apart. They are literally beating the hell out of each other.
(The brawl went on for a few moments before security came in and are trying to break up these two women and the crowd is now booing the security guards because they are breaking up the fight and they are chanting in the background.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: I agree with the crowd! Let them fight! These damn security guards ruin everything. This was just starting to get good. The fists were already flying. Maybe the clothes were about to come next.
Eve: You are disgusting and a horrible pervert! You need serious therapy. This is a rivalry that is going to reach a fever pitch very soon.
(Security is having trouble keeping these two apart, but seconds later, Miku Sakai comes running into frame as she quickly pulls her bestie Aria out of the fray and away from Auburn as Auburn is fighting to get back to beating up Aria.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh come on, Miku! Things weren’t that bad. Just a little heated. No need to pull her away from the fight.
Deadprez: Be that as it may, there is a rivalry continuing to build up between Auburn and Aria looking to establish themselves on Showdown, but Aria needs to stay focused because of her triple threat match at Territorial Invasion. She’s gonna need it.
(The final shot shows Aria being dragged away from the chaos as she is trying to scratch and claw to try and get back to beating the hell out of Auburn before cutting to Auburn, who is being held back by a couple of security guards as she is trying to break free and continue beating up Aria as the shot fades elsewhere to Gina Romano in the ring ready to announce the participants for the next match..)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano for the announcement of the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is a Triple Threat match scheduled for ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( Olé by The Bouncing Souls plays over the sound system of the arena and the fans erupt in cheers as Ryan Joseph Wilson appears on stage looking pumped and ready for a fight! He high-fives fans as he moves closer to ringside, takes the occasional selfie with members of the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first, From Montréal, Québec, Canada. Weighing in at 225 pounds… RYAN… JOSEEEEEEEEEPH WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!
(As his music is replaced by “It Ain’t Safe” by Skepta starts playing and the aura of the arena immediately goes negative as Charlie Marr enters the arena. )
Gina Romano: Introducing! From Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom! Weighing in at 240 pounds. Here is “THE COLOSSUS” CHARLIE MARR!
(The theme is replaced by “PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE” by Peso Pluma (ft. Cardi B) as the cheers turn into jeers as Roberto De La Rosa enters the arena. As always, Roberto is being flanked by the rest of La Familia.)
Gina Romano: Introducing their opponent! Representing and accompanied by La Familia! Currently residing in Cancun, Mexico as well as Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 225 pounds! Here is “EL PADRINO” ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: “Charlie Marr, Ryan Wilson, Roberto De La Rosa! Only one can walk out of here with the victory, and we’ll find out who that’s gonna be right now…AND OUT THE GATE COMES CHARLIE, THROWING HANDS WITH RYAN! RYAN GETS THE UPPER HAND, TRYING TO GRAPPLE CHARLIE INTO A SLEEPER HOLD- But Charlie drops down, giving Ryan a stunner! He backs up from where Charlie is, and right into the waiting arms of Roberto! He grabs him by the waist and hooks his head under his arm, LOOKING FOR A BACK SUPLEX!”
Eve: “WHICH CHARLIE PAIRS WITH A NECKBREAKER!! Ryan is taken down, AND ROBERTO GOES TO COVER- But Charlie shoves Roberto off Ryan, preventing the pinfall! Now both of them get up- MARR HITS ROBERTO WITH A CHOP.. AND ROBERTO RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM! Charlie falls back into the ropes..Roberto goes off the ropes, and looks to hit Charlie with a clothesline over the ropes, but Charlie backdrops him over them to the apron! Roberto ends up there, getting to his feet, AND CHARLIE CONNECTS WITH A MASSIVE SLAP TO ROBERTO!”
Deadprez: “Roberto may be loopy on the apron, BUT CHARLIE HAS TO WORRY ABOUT RYAN, BECAUSE HE’S BACK UP! CHARLIE SWINGS AT RYAN, BUT RYAN GRABS THE ARM OF CHARLIE, AND SWINGS HIS LEG BACK INTO IT! WHAT A PELE BY RYAN! Charlie falls away from Ryan, but Ryan pulls Charlie back into a German Suplex position! GOING FOR A GERMAN- WAIT! CHARLIE GRABS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM GETTING DROPPED ON HIS DOME.. BUT ROBERTO’S ON THE TOP, AND CATCHES RYAN WITH AN PUNT KICK AFTER TIGHT-ROPING THE ROPES!”
Gavin Kirkland: “RYAN DRIVES CHARLIE DOWN WITH A GERMAN! Now Charlie rolls the outside, as Ryan gets up to his feet.. AND RIGHT INTO A ROUNDHOUSE BY ROBERTO! RYAN IS CAUGHT WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE.. AND THEN ROBERTO HITS HIM AGAIN WITH A ROLLING ELBOW!- BUT RYAN IS BUILT FOR THIS, AND HE SLAPS ROBERTO WITH THE BACK OF HIS HAND AND THEN HITS HIM WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT- WAIT, HE SLIPS UNDER THAT LARIAT, AND GRABS HIM FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- WHICH RYAN LOWERS INTO AN ANKLE LOCK!! RYAN WRENCHES THE ANKLE OF ROBERTO, TRYING TO SNAP IT TWO.. BUT ROBERTO KICKS HIM IN THE FACE, KNOCKING HIM BACK!”
Eve: “Ryan is forced to let go of the hold, and he gets up to his feet alongside Roberto, whose ankle is still hurting.. but he’s able to fire off a chop to Ryan! Ryan keels over, feeling the effects of the chop…Now Roberto runs off the ropes, going off of them as she rushes at Ryan- WHO CUTS HIM OFF WITH A MASSIVE LARIAT! But, now here comes Charlie back into the ring, sliding in by the corner.. AND RYAN RUNS AT HIM!”
Gavin Kirkland: AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A MASSIVE SUPERKICK FROM CHARLIE!! Ryan falls down from the top, crashing to the mat, as Charlie picks him up for a star- Oh shit! Roberto stops that thought, putting Charlie in his place! He’s forced to drop Ryan as Roberto drags him to the ropes. Roberto props Charlie up on the ropes, AND UNLOADS ON HIM SOME LOADED KICKS! Charlie keels over, holding his stomach as Roberto drapes Charlie across the top rope, then climbs to the top turnbuckle.. HE’S LOOKING TO FLY! HE DROPS ONTO CHARLIE WITH A KNEE FROM OFF THE TOP ROPE!- WAIT! NO! CHARLIE MOVED, AND SLID BACK ONTO THE APRON! He gets up, holding his knees as he turns to face Charlie, WHO FOREARMS HIM IN THE FACE! He moves back.
Eve: CHARLIE WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT TO ROBERTO! HE’S SPIKED DOWN! Charlie is about to cover, WHEN RYAN INVOLVES HIMSELF BACK IN THE MATCH! He drags Charlie over to a corner, AND GIVES HIM A FEW UPPERCUTS! CHARLIE IS BEING RUN THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW! Now Ryan gets ready to put Charlie on the top rope- HOLD THAT THOUGHT! Charlie pushes Ryan away from him, pulling himself to the top rope, THEN JUMPS OFF ONTO RYAN FOR A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT. THAT RYAN CATCHES INTO A SLEEPER HOLD! BUT CHARLIE ONCE AGAIN WILL NOT LET HIMSELF FALL PREY TO THAT MANEUVER, PUTTING RYAN ONTO HIS SHOULDERS…
Deadprez: NOW YOU HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS! RYAN LOWERS THAT DOWN.. INTO AN OCTOPUS HOLD! But Charlie, used to technical work, pushes Ryan’s leg over his head AND GETS HIM BACK INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY.. But Ryan slips down from that, pushing Charlie into the ropes, AND CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK WHEN HE COMES BACK! But, wait a second.. MASSIVE LARIAT BY CHARLIE TO KNOCK RYAN DOWN! NOW MARR GETS UP, LOOKING FOR ROBERTO! WHOS RUNNING RIGHT AT HIM, CONNECTING WITH A MASSIVE BIG BOOT! Charlie takes the big boot, falling to the outside of the ring. Now she follows Charlie, picking him up and throwing him into the apron! He rests there…
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO HITS CHARLIE WITH A BIG BOOT! Now Roberto tosses Charlie back into the ring, and gets onto the apron to join him, BUT RYAN POPS BACK UP TO SLAM A FOREARM IN HER FACE! Now Ryan drags Roberto into the ring, TRYING TO PICK HIM UP FOR AN ANGLE SLAM- But Roberto wraps his legs over Ryan’s arms, LOOKING FOR A CRUCIFIX PIN!
ONE!
Eve: RYAN QUICKLY KICKS OUT, AND ROLLS TO HIS FEET! Roberto follows him, getting to his knees before RYAN GOES FOR A BASEMENT CLOTHESLINE ONTO ROBERTO- BUT ROBERTO DODGES, GETS UP, AND THEY BOTH RUN AT EACH OTHER! Roberto De La Rosa rolls his way to the outside of the ring to keep herself from taking a pin, but that opens the door for Charlie Marr who slips his way into the ring. He’s got his attention locked on to victory here! Everybody down!
Gavin Kirkland: Charlie lifts Ryan to his feet and immediately there they go to the corner of the ring with an Irish whip! Charlie Marr on the offense…AND THERE’S A BIG FOREARM! Charlie and Ryan shared some words and now Charlie is trying to get some comeuppance! Ryan Wilson, stumbling out of the corner of the ring, but Charlie won’t let him get too far—! Oh and he lights up Ryan Wilson with a knife-edge chop! But hold on a minute, Ryan Wilson is ASKING FOR MORE! HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE TOP ROPE AND HE’S BECKONING CHARLIE MARR TO FIRE! Charlie Marr obliges with another chop, but Ryan Wilson is virtually unfazed! He wants more from Charlie Marr AND CHARLIE MARR IS DELIVERING! Chop after chop to the chest of Ryan Wilson— HOLY SHIT!
Eve: “RYAN WILSON JUST SLAPPED CHARLIE MARR IN THE FACE! YOU TALK ABOUT DISRESPECT, BUT I THINK RYAN WANTS THAT FIRE LIT UNDER MARR! Charlie takes a moment to register what the hell just happened, but Ryan Wilson just used the perfect bait and switch! WILSON SLIPS FROM THE CORNER AND TRAPS CHARLIE INSTEAD! RYAN WILSON IS ABOUT TO FIRE AWAY AT THE CHEST OF CHARLIE MARR! That is how you put a hole in somebody’s chest! Charlie Marr stumbles his way out of the corner of the ring and Ryan meets him in the center! A marvel that Charlie is even still standing let alone— ABLE TO TAKE A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT COURTESY OF RYAN WILSON!”
Deadprez: “Charlie Marr, to the ropes of the ring to take a breather it looks like. Those chops knocked the wind out of him and Ryan Wilson is simply allowing it. Ryan Wilson, as confident as ever with this match. Now here comes Charlie Marr! Charlie nails a European Uppercut to Ryan! Ryan Wilson stumbles back, but just like those chops from before, he’s asking for more! He wants Charlie Marr to give his best shot with this right here! Charlie Marr, thinking better of this though! He comes off the ropes and tries to floor Ryan with a lariat- “THE HEADMASTER RITUAL” SPINEBUSTER!”
Gavin Kirkland: OH NEVERMIND! CHARLIE MARR SLIPS BEHIND AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! RYAN WILSON COULD’VE ENDED THE MATCH RIGHT THEN AND THERE! NOW, CHARLIE MARR BEHIND WITH A WAISTLOCK! STANDING SWITCH FROM RYAN WILSON—! WHAT THE HELL! INCREDIBLE GERMAN SUPLEX FROM ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WHICH TAKES OUT RYAN AND CHARLIE! RYAN AND CHARLIE, RETREATING TO OPPOSING CORNERS OF THE RING AND ROBERTO IS TO HIS FEET AND ABOUT TO LAY WASTE TO BOTH OF THESE MEN HERE! Winry Rosado is a woman possessed! A corner splash catches Charlie Marr who immediately slumps down and now Roberto’s attention has fallen on Ryan Wilson! He’s going full steam ahead— Ryan gets the boot up!
Eve: Much needed separation and Ryan Wilson slips through the top and middle rope of the ring to keep his distance! He knows that it’s no disqualification and it won’t do anything, but Ryan needs that separation! He puts his foot up to keep Roberto back, but De La Rosa takes the boot and pulls him back to the center of the ring! Ryan just dropped down to the mat and I think he might be in a bad way here! Roberto looks to capitalize on the opportunity he’s got though! Inverted Ankle Lock!
Gavin Kirkland: Wilson is in pain, but he’s rolling his through and— snaps his leg free and there’s a nasty European Uppercut under the chin of Roberto De La Rosa! Roberto stumbles into the ropes, and uses that momentum to head right back towards Ryan Wilson! Standing switch from Roberto with the waistlock, but Ryan with a strong back elbow to keep himself in place!
Eve: Ryan breaks the grip and catches Roberto’s underarm for a Hip Toss— ROBERTO LANDS ON HER FEET! Robert De La Rosa with a back elbow of her own and Ryan Wilson is dazed! He’s back to the ropes of the ring! Roberto catches him, irish whip, drop down and the leapfrog! Wilson sticks the arm for the Lariat— NO! Roberto catches the arm and traps Ryan! DD— NOPE AGAIN! He forces Roberto to the corner of the ring and fires away with some punches to the midsection to get his distance! Roberto’s trying to recover here, but Ryan sure as hell won’t allow that to just happen! He’s lining him up! He’s got that right arm itching to take the shot! He’s about to take his head off with a European Upperc—ROBERTO EVADES!
Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa slipped out of the corner of the ring and sent Ryan’s arm crashing into the top rope! Ryan is immediately feeling the pain as he tries to shake that arm back to life, but Roberto’s on the prowl! He storms at Ryan as he looks for maybe a ‘Superkick’ to take Ryan Wilson down and maybe end this spell of offense! Ryan just narrowly got under the boot though! He bounces off the corner and here he comes! A RUNNING BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE TAKES BOTH RYAN AND ROBERTO OFF OF THEIR FEET AND WE’RE OFFICIALLY AT A STALEMATE WITH THIS MATCH! ALL THREE COMPETITORS TRYING TO PULL THE ENERGY!
Gavin Kirkland: This match has taken the life out of everyone involved! This match has been fast-paced since the opening bell and I am a firm believer that it won’t be slowing down anytime soon! The fans are loving every minute of this and it looks like Ryan Wilson is slowly about to pull himself back together for the time being! He’s doing so just as Charlie Marr gets his way into the ring! Charlie Marr is quick to hook Ryan in! He’s looking for the ‘THE QUEEN IS DEAD’ to seal the deal and finish this match off— RYAN SLIPS FREE!
Eve: RYAN WILSON SLIPS FREE AND CATCHES CHARLIE IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY! HE’S GONNA WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE! THERE THEY GO TO THE CORNER OF THE RING AND BOMBS AWAY! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER CRUSHES BOTH ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND CHARLIE MARR AND THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT RYAN WILSON NEEDED TO CLOSE THE GAP!
Gavin Kirkland: That is how you level out the playing field in one fell swoop! Ryan Wilson, showing everyone why he is the absolute best to do it inside of the squared circle! He has managed to keep the ball rolling in this match for an impressive amount of time here tonight! He’s got the Charlie by the arms and he’s pulling him to the center of the ring! We know what’s next! RYAN WILSON IS SETTING UP FOR IT! HE’S ABOUT TO CAVE CHARLIE MARR’S HEAD IN WITH— HARD STOMPS! BOOT TO THE FACE OVER AND OVER AGAIN! CHARLIE MARR IS FADING!
Eve: IF CHARLIE MARR PASSES OUT RIGHT HERE, RYAN WILSON TAKES THE WIN HOME! HE’S SLIPPING, BUT RYAN’S BOOTS AREN’T ENDING ANYTIME SOON! THESE STOMPS MIGHT SECURES THE WIN FOR RYAN WILSON! THE OFFICIAL IS WATCHING CLOSELY, AND CHARLIE MARR’S BEEN BUSTED OPEN! THOSE STOMPS BUSTED THE LIP OF CHARLIE MARR, BUT RYAN WILSON STILL ISN’T FINISHED! THE STOMPS ARE ABOUT TO BE WHAT ENDS THIS MATCH— TALON DE ÁGUILA! TALON DE ÁGUILA! TALON DE ÁGUILA! TALON DE ÁGUILA FROM ROBERTO DE LA ROSA CUTS RYAN WILSON IN HALF AND KEEPS THIS MATCH ALIVE FOR HIMSELF!
Deadprez: That spear turned Ryan Wilson inside out and I don’t think that’s any good for either of the men in this match. Ryan Wilson is out, rolling to the outside of the ring and I don’t even think Charlie Marr knows where he is…that may have been exactly what Roberto De La Rosa needed to take this win home. He was dismissed time and time again, but it may have been pure irony as he’s poised to take the win home! He’s eyeing Charlie and I think he knows it’s over!
Gavin Kirkland: HE GOT CHARLIE! UP HE GOES! HIGH INTO THE AIR AND RIGHT BACK DOWN— HUGE POWERBOMB FROM ROBERTO DE LA ROSA! HE FLOORED CHARLIE MARR, BUT I DON’T THINK HE’S FINISHED JUST YET! HE DEFINITELY ISN’T! ROBERTO’S BACK TO HIS FEET AND CHARLIE MARR IS STILL SHOWING NO SIGNS OF MOVEMENT! HE’A GOT HIM HOOKED AND THERE’S THE DEADLIFT WITH THE GUTWRENCH APPLIED! FOREVER POWERFUL ROBERTO IS READY TO GO AND CAP THIS MATCH OFF FOR HIMSELF! GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB CRUSHES CHARLIE MARR IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! THIS IS IT! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA COLLAPSES INTO THE COVER TO TAKE HOME THE WIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Eve: OH MY GOD! WHAT A SAVE FROM RYAN WILSON! HE JUST CAUGHT THE OFFICIAL’S ARM AND STOPPED IT RIGHT BEFORE HE COULD GET THE THREE! UNPARALLELED RING AWARENESS, BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, ROBERTO HAD THE MATCH WON! ROBERTO TOOK CHARLIE MARR OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S READY TO TAKE RYAN WILSON OUT NEXT! ROBERTO TO HIS FEET AND SHE HOOKS RYAN UP IMMEDIATELY! HE’S ABOUT TO NAIL HIM WITH A POWERBOMB TOO IT SEEMS— RYAN SLIPS BEHIND AND TO HIS FEET! SPIN THROUGH AND THERE’S A WAISTLOCK! GERMAN SUPLEX FLOORS ROBERT DE LA ROSA!
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO’S RUNNING ON FUMES THOUGH! HE ROLLS TO HIS FEET AND IS RIGHT TOWARDS RYAN WILSON ONCE AGAIN AND THERE’S A FOREARM! FOREARM ROCKS RYAN AND INTO THE ROPES HE GOES! HE RETURNS WITH AN UPPERCUT AND NOW IT’S ROBERTO OFF THE ROPES AND HE RETURNS WITH A DISCUS ELBOW RIGHT OFF THE CHEEK! RYAN IS STUMBLING ONCE AGAIN, BUT HE’S OFF THE ROPES AGAIN AND THERE HE LANDS A BEAUTIFUL ROLLING KAPPOU KICK ON THE TOP OF ROBERTO DE LA ROSA’S SKULL! BOTH ARE DOWN! DOWN AND OUT ARE BOTH RYAN WILSON AND ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND CHARLIE HASN’T MOVED A MUSCLE ON THE OUTSIDE! THIS IS SURELY THE FINAL STRETCH OF THE MATCH, BUT NOW WE WAIT TO SEE WHO WILL MAKE THE MOVE TO THEIR FEET!
Eve: ALMOST TEN SECONDS HAVE PASSED AND THOUGH THE FANS ARE SPLIT, IT’S CLEAR THAT THEY’RE GIVING ENERGY TO EVERYONE INVOLVED! SLOWLY THOUGH, YOU CAN SEE ROBERTO AND RYAN MOVING. Both to their knees and now both to their feet. Roberto lands the first punch, but Ryan fires back with an expected European Uppercut! Roberto with another punch, but Ryan with the Uppercut once again! Roberto is taking charge of the situation here! He lands some short-arm Lariats, but Ryan Wilson has managed to keep himself on his feet for the time being! He’s back to the forearms with the right and the left, but Ryan Wilson isn’t budging!
Deadprez: “Ryan is trying to hold his own with some Uppercuts, but they won’t do the job as Roberto only manages to slip behind Ryan AND DROP HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA, NOW, OFF THE ROPES! PENALTY KIC— WILSON GOT TO HIS FEET! NOT A CHANCE! PURE AND UTTER RESILIENCE FROM RYAN WILSON! “LA BOMBE BLUE” FROM RYAN WILSON! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA IS FADING, BUT RYAN IS READY! HE HOOKS UP AND- “MIC DROP” PACKAGE DRIVER SENDS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA CRASHING INTO THE CANVAS! RYAN WITH THE DEEP HOOK OF THE LEG TO TAKE THE WIN! WILSON IS READY! HE HOOKS HER UP AND—
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A MINUTE! CHARLIE GETS BACK INTO THE RING! Before the referee could even begin to count! He tosses Ryan out of the ring and onto the floor! No way! Charlie Marr is looking to steal this, hooking the leg of Roberto! The official dropping in to count!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
…
(DING! DING! DING)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! “THE COLOSSUS” CHARLIE MARR!
Eve: I can’t believe it! Ryan had this match in the bag and it was stolen by Charlie Marr! Despite all of them putting up one hell of a fight, this match should have gone to Ryan.
Deadprez: More like could have! Charlie played it smart, saw his opportunity and took it! It sucks for Ryan but not against the rules, though after the performance Ryan had. He’s certainly a force to be looking out for as we enter Territorial Invasion.
(Charlie Marr celebrates on the top rope, as Ryan Wilson watches from the outside frustrated, glaring a hole through the victor. The scene fades to black…)
(As the camera fades Backstage, it shows Kyra Phillips standing by with mic in hand, she smiles before speaking.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you EAW Universe and Showdown fans, I would like to introduce, at this time, my guests, The National Elite Champion, Veena Adams, Universal Women’s Champion, Milli Banks, and Bronson Daniels, Team Showdown War Games.
(Veena Adams with her title, Milli Banks with hers as well over the shoulder and in wrestling gear, finally Bronson Daniels all appear on camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Veena, you were chosen as the Team Captain of the Showdown War Games match. Many questioned that it was you who was picked as the Team Leader, but Kennedy Street, the General Manager explained that you have been a mainstay on Showdown and your best years have been here, as you have climbed the ranks into singles championship. What do you have to say to your doubters and critics?
(Veena rolls her eyes and snickers some.)
Veena Adams: Are you like serious right now? Kennedy chose me because I represent Showdown. No offense to Milli or Bronson but they have been on Dynasty the last two/three seasons, but me? I have been here long enough to see how Showdown has completely evolved. I have been a part of that Kyra; you have seen it yourself.
Kyra Phillips: I have.
Veena Adams: Yeah, exactly. And that is why Kennedy chose me, for not only my talent and Leadership skills. Look at the team I have put together too? Look at them, the current Universal Women’s Champion in Milli Banks and a former World Champion in Bronson Daniels. I put this team together because this was the best threesome that could challenge Voltage and Dynasty who let’s face it, are the favorites thanks to the putting together of New Eden. Does that bother us? Not in the slightest.
Kyra Phillips: Which leads to my next question, which is we all saw what happened last week in the Main Event of Showdown, when New Eden came out and attacked you three after the match, then just last night on Dynasty, you returned the favor and sent them a message on their turf, are you worried about retaliation?
(Milli this time steps forward.)
Milli Banks: Did you think we were not going to respond, chile? Of course we were, they came on our turf and attacked us, then took us all out, standing tall and showing that they are all on the same page again, which you know what, it is a scary thought because we saw New Eden take over in 2021 and it was pretty much their year, but that wasn’t when I was around, Veena was. Bronson was, but me, nah towards the end, sure but what I do remember is they were dominant, but that was then, and this is now, look at us now Kyra. I took the Universal Women’s Championship from Minerva at the event she couldn’t be beaten at, and I did, Pain For Pride. We also have the National Elite Champion and a man that ran through Dynasty at one time as a World Champion. Veena knew what she was doing, and while people are talking about whether I or Bronson should have been team captain, nah, relax. She has planted her flag here. We are fine with how this is set up, and last night was just our response leaving them laid out this time so that they know, War Games is ours to win.
(Kyra nods and turns back to Milli but this time Bronsons is the one by the mic.)
Kyra Phillips: Bronson Daniels, you were on Dynasty, and everyone knows the story there, where you had the opportunity to oust Richard and Kensingten. But that was not to be, and when losing to Methuselah, many had noted that Kennedy wanted you on Showdown not only for your talent, but the fact also you started on this brand when coming to the EAW, one thing was certain, everyone knew that you would come back invigorated and ready to prove everyone wrong.
Bronson Daniels: That is true Kyra, but it was more than just being invigorated, this is also about one thing, and that is getting back at Dynasty for what we did, and not going to lie, that really felt good last night going back last night to the Red Brand and laying out New Eden, shoving it into the faces of Kensi and Richard, those MAGA mfers. But I am not worried about all of that, Kyra, I am just happy that I have been give the opportunity to be on this team and to get some payback at Dynasty and compete in a match that I know I can excel at. We may not all see eye to eye, but in this match I trust Veena Adams and she can trust me. Milli and I are friends and we both know that what this is for is the greater good of the blue brand and no one is going to stop us from rising to the very top and winning the whole damn thing.
Kyra Phillips: Well, it looks like you three are ready and tonight there is a huge tag team match tonight against members of Team Brand Warfare. I want to wish you all good luck!
(Veena cuts her off before they head out to the ring.)
Veena Adams: One more thing Kyra. I don’t think anyone disagrees that we are the underdogs, that we are the ones that everyone thinks are at a disadvantage. I mean, are we? Look at this team, tell me that this is not one of the most talented War Games teams ever put together on Showdown?
Kyra Phillips: It really is.
Veena Adams: Precisely, and last night was a small taste of things to come, because if there is one thing, is that we are ready for anyone, Voltage or New Eden. Now excuse us.
(Veena brushes her hair back and walks out, Milli smirks and follows with Bronson smiling and walking out last. Kyra nods as the camera fades to ringside where Gina Romano is ready to make the introductions to tonight’s Showdown Main Event.)
(Showdown fades back to the show one last time as Gina Romano prepares to announce the Main Event of the evening.)
Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘My War’ by Shinsei Kamattechan plays over the PA system as Bronson Daniels walks out with a cold expression on his face. He shows a slight smile, feeling a bit better, but it’s clear he’s still stressed about the upcoming Main Event at Territorial Invasion. While Bronson stands there, contemplating, ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj (feat. Lil Wayne) replaces his theme music. Milli Banks makes her entrance, dancing to her theme before slowly stripping the Universal Women’s Championship from her waist and raising it high with pride. She walks over to Bronson’s side and waves at him; he returns a small smile. However, the moment is interrupted as ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande hits, and Veena Adams, the National Elite Champion, steps out, raising her title high like Milli did earlier, proclaiming that she is just as undeniable a champion. The three walk down to the ring together, with Milli and Bronson entering the ring, while Veena stays back, watching from a distance.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… ACCOMPANIED BY EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, THE GOLDEN STAR, VEENA ADAMS!… THE TEAM OF!… THE HONORED ONE!… BRONSON DANIELS!… AND THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!… THE SUPERNOVA!… MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: What a stacked Main Event we have here tonight, and it’s made a thousand times better by seeing Milli Banks and Veena Adams in the same ring together! Oh my god, who could have thought we’d get this twice in a row? Showdown is just the greatest EAW brand of all time, and that’s why we’re going to win at Territorial Invasion!
Deadprez: Yeah yeah yeah, get off your high horse, brother. Let’s get straight to the main topic. This week, Bronson has set his goals high, viewing the War Games as a long-awaited opportunity for him to achieve great success, despite having some doubts about his team, particularly with Veena Adams. Nevertheless, he is aimed to unite the team and lead them to victory.
Eve: And that’s because when it comes to tag team dynamics, Bronson confidently states that his chemistry with Milli Banks is as strong as ever, making him even more confident about facing Cody Maverick and Donovan Duke. Speaking of his opponents, Bronson acknowledges and respects Cody’s growth but asserts that Cody is still far from reaching his level, as his attempts consistently fall short despite his efforts.
Gavin Kirkland: Well even so, Bronson remains cautious and is aware that Cody’s tenacity could catch him off guard, as it is one of Cody’s strongest traits. To Donovan, Bronson criticizes his mentality, emphasizing that this industry is a war of attrition.
Eve: He warns that if Donovan isn’t prepared to be more ruthless, he’s not ready to become a world champion, even though Bronson admits that he has never secured a victory over Duke, no matter how strong his advantage may seem.
Gavin Kirkland: What about Milli Banks? Our Universal Women’s Champion!
Eve: The same goes for Milli; she holds a view very similar to Bronson Daniels. She knows that this team and its bond are the strongest on the brand so far. She’s aware that Donovan cannot compare to her in any aspect, no matter how hard he tries. She also understands that Cody is still chasing a dream that she and Bronson have already established, and it’s a long journey ahead for him at this point.
Deadprez: As you can tell from both of them, their confidence is on another level to make it a tough night for Cody and Duke to get through.
Gavin Kirkland: As it should!!!!!
(All three arrive at the ring at the same time. Then ‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn (featuring Conway the Machine & Benny the Butcher) starts playing as Cody Maverick makes his way down the entrance ramp, exuding confidence. He walks out, pointing around, and is just about to get the crowd ready to chant his name, ‘CO-DY MAVERICK,’ when suddenly, he’s interrupted by ‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks. Donovan Duke walks out, raising the Cash in the Vault briefcase high. Cody turns around, trying to calm himself down, but it’s clear the interruption has rattled him. His frustration grows when ‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta starts playing, signaling Charlie Marr’s entrance. Charlie walks out, smiling at everyone in the match. He claps and gets excited, tapping both Donovan and Cody on the shoulders before leading them all down to the ring together. Veena looks at Charlie with special interest, clearly excited about leading her own team to face off against Charlie’s team.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS!… ACCOMPANIED BY EAW HALL OF FAMER, COLOSSUS, CHARLIE MARR!… SIN CITY SUPERSTAR… CODY MAVERICK!… AND 2024 MR. CASH IN THE VAULT!… THE OKHALOMA STORM!… DONOVAN DUKE!
Eve: Cody did showing a lot of respect towards the opposition, fully aware of the kind of competitors they are but nothing will stop Cody Maverick from rising and growing in this match. There’s always a chance to change the narrative as long as he continues to put in the effort.
Gavin Kirkland: I feel like the more Cody does, the more obvious his weaknesses will become. But sometimes, it’s not about respect. Maybe Cody needs to show his true self someday to get to where he’s always wanted to be. I’m not trying to sound like I am criticizing, but acting like a rookie more than an elitist he possesses isn’t going to get him where he wants to go.
Deadprez: No man, this is because you are biased and like women better.
Gavin Kirkland: Of course I am, but only for the second part, minus the last word! But look, despite that, he’s still a fan favorite. I even liked it when he did the ‘CO-DY MAVERICK’ thing. I wonder why he doesn’t add something after that to make it more synchronous, like saying ‘YEAH!’ or ‘NAH NAH!’
Eve: That sounds terrible. Anyway, getting back to Donovan, he was pushed into this match to work with SOSA Henderson, someone he initially didn’t want to get along with at all. However, things started to come together for the sake of business. He understands the lack of connection they had, especially when compared to Milli and Bronson but this match is good enough to make a strong statement for his own team, and that’s how he views it.
Deadprez: Donovan Duke has no worries about Milli Banks and Bronson Daniels. From the way he talks and the statements he’s making, Donovan is indeed eager to enter the competition and take them both down. These two share the same goals and have made it clear that their path to glory has never been easy and this match will remind them both that being an elitist in this company is never an easy task.
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: The Main Event is officially underway. Two powerful teams are clashing, and as we speak, Bronson moves in for a collar-and-elbow tie-up with Cody but Cody fakes him out, quickly rolling him up as soon as the match begins! He’s already trying to secure a quick win for his team!
ONEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: But Bronson Daniels quickly escapes at one by kicking out! Daniels gets back on his feet, turning the tables by rolling Cody up in a jackknife pin! Daniels has both of Maverick’s legs hooked!
ONEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND ONE AS WELL!
Eve: Both men got back to their feet at the same time, facing each other. Cody runs and tries to connect with the Lights Out, but he swings and misses!
Deadprez: The Superman Punch couldn’t save the day just yet. Bronson hooks Cody’s right arm—the one he was trying to use to land the Lights Out Signature—and sends him rolling back into a backslide. Bronson swings his right arm, aiming to strike Cody with his own Mickey I Knocked Your Head Off, a vicious swinging back elbow across the jaw, but Cody blocks it!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson misses the strike and rises to his feet. Cody throws a right hook, but Bronson ducks it and tries to connect with a Roundhouse Kick of his own!
Eve: Daniels misses, whiffing completely, and Cody slips around his waist, locking up and driving both himself and Bronson toward the ropes. They rebound off the ropes, with Bronson’s chest pressing against the ropes, propelling themselves back to the center of the ring, and Cody goes for another roll-up!
Deadprez: Inverted roll-up at the center of the ring! He has Bronson’s shoulders pinned to the mat!
ONEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Another kick-out by Bronson Daniels!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels is back on his feet, stopping right in front of the ropes. He’s doing a handstand, preparing to hit Cody with the Celestial Whirlwind—the Kardiak Kick!
Eve: Cody has been studying Bronson Daniels all week and manages to avoid the attack. Bronson ends up in a superhero, landing near the corner behind Cody! Cody backs away, runs off, and heads toward Bronson. As Bronson rises to his feet, he lands a back elbow, smashing Cody’s jaw!
Deadprez: Cody is stunned, giving Bronson an opening. Grabbing the rope, Bronson bounces off the corner and connects with an Enzuigiri Kick, rearranging Cody’s dislocated jaw that was just struck by the elbow!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels approaches Cody, draping his arm over and looking to land a Northern Lights Suplex! Maverick has Daniels in his sights, breaking free from Daniels’ grasp and putting him in a similar hold, possibly aiming to finish Bronson with the High Roller!
Eve: The Half Nelson Hold is preparing to make a transition towards the Bridging Olympic Slam, but Daniels escapes and turns Cody over into a Wheelbarrow Roll-Up! Daniels is reversing the tide, turning it in his favor!
ONEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!
Eve: Two! This time, Cody Maverick has it stopped!
Charlie Marr: (Off-Mic) Come on, Cody! Get his ass!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick tries to maintain control of the situation with Charlie Marr, our Showdown Team Leader for this year’s Brand Warfare, watching both men closely as they compete. Maverick sees Bronson preparing to strike, swinging his right leg for another Roundhouse Kick attempt!
Deadprez: Cody counters with a double axe handle to the leg, causing Bronson to trip. Cody follows up with a Discus Punch, landing squarely on Bronson’s jaw!
Eve: Daniels is wobbling on spaghetti legs as Cody bounces off the ropes…. Daniels connects with a chop right across Cody’s chest! And then Bronson retaliates with a right punch to Cody’s jaw, then flips Cody over his shoulder with a Snapmare. Bronson charges and hits a Hesitation Dropkick right to the back of Cody’s head! You cannot count the Emperor out!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick has fallen, and now Daniels is making a move, dragging Cody over to his corner to tag in Milli Banks, while Veena Adams watches them closely.
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: The Universal Women’s Champion has been tagged in! She enters the ring, joining Bronson as they work together to drive Cody toward the ropes…. Both leap and execute a perfectly timed double dropkick, taking down the Sin City Superstar! Bronson exits the ring while Milli Banks goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is able to kick out!
Eve: Now it’s her turn to take charge while Cody is already down. Using her right knee, she forces Cody to sit back up, then bends his back while wrapping both hands around his chin, trying to stretch it back. Milli adds some extra pressure, but Cody desperately reaches out for Donovan Duke as the crowd claps cheering them on.
Deadprez: Milli slowly releases her knee from his back, applying a front face lock as she twists him around, bringing both of them to their feet. She goes for his arm, possibly setting up a Kimura Lock on Cody! She’s targeting his right arm, knowing that’s the arm Cody would use to take everyone down!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody still has his free arm, and he manages to break free by separating Milli’s grip on the Kimura Lock! Cody quickly lands a right hook, stunning Milli Banks and forcing her to back away!
Eve: As he steps back toward the ropes, Maverick goes for a clothesline! But Milli traps his arm and tries to send Maverick over with an armdrag, looking to transition into one of her traditional moves!
Deadprez: Maverick is one step ahead and counters with his own armdrag, sending Banks crashing down! Milli gets back up only to be caught by another beautiful armdrag from Maverick! Maverick follows up by confusing Milli with a series of jabs, one after another, stunning her further!
Gavin Kirkland: He spins around, looking to turn Milli inside out with a Discus Lariat, but Milli blocks the arm with a boot! She then runs towards Maverick, PULLING UP HER RIGHT KNEE FOR THE NO FAKE BILLS HERE!
Eve: Maverick anticipates it in time and lifts her onto his shoulders, setting up for a Powerbomb followed by a knee strike combo!
Deadprez: Milli manages to slip out of Maverick’s grasp, landing by her team’s corner! Maverick charges, but Milli moves out of the way, causing Maverick to crash into the corner. Banks quickly follows up with a hook kick from behind while Maverick is stuck at the corner!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: At the same moment, Donovan Duke tags in, catching Cody by his side at the corner. Here comes Mr. Cash In The Vault, striding into the ring to face the Supernova herself!
Eve: Milli dives toward Donovan, trying to catch him in a headlock and take him down with a Running Bulldog before he can make a move!
Deadprez: Donovan anticipates it and instead lifts her onto the top corner, delivering continuous palm strikes to her spine as she sits up there! Donovan quickly climbs to the top while Milli is sitting with her back turned to him.
Gavin Kirkland: He gets a tight grasp around her wrist, possibly setting up for something big—he’s going for the Avalanche German Suplex! But look at the EAW National Elite Champion on the apron, intercepting Donovan and preventing him from hitting the move!
Veena Adams (Off-Mic): PUT HER DOWN RIGHT NOW!
Eve: But we all know that’s not what she meant! Milli Banks takes advantage, slipping down safely from the top corner to the ring mat and immediately tripping Donovan, causing his face to crash hard into the top turnbuckle!
Deadprez: Donovan is stunned by Milli’s quick move! As he holds his nose and backs away, Milli leaps toward him, setting up for the Wheelbarrow DDT!
Gavin Kirkland: She tries to leap backward and transition mid-air to hit the DDT, but Donovan catches her on his shoulders instead of letting her get away with the move…. A REVERSAL INTO A CLIFFHANGER DDT OF HIS OWN, PLANTING MILLI BANKS INTO THE MAT! Donovan hooks the leg for the cover!
Charlie Marr: (Off-Mic) My man! Let’s go Donovan!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: Two counts! Milli Banks is able to kick out of the Cliffhanger DDT from Donovan Duke! Duke has control in the palm of his hands now. Her fate is hanging in the balance. Duke slowly gets back to his feet, watching Daniels from a close distance as he interacts with his opponents then Duke now refocuses on Banks.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan pulls her up to her feet and quickly drives an elbow across her temple, sending her down into the corner. Duke follows Banks to the corner, seizing the middle rope before driving a shoulder thrust into her abdomen! Duke is targeting her limbs, making it nearly impossible for Banks to move!
Deadprez: He steps back and delivers another shoulder thrust, slowing Banks down further! Duke then slowly drapes both arms around Milli, dragging her out of the corner, and thrusts her back, causing Banks’ spine to crash into the turnbuckles…. STEPS OUT WHILE MAINTAINING HIS GRIP, PULLING HER INTO A REBOUNDING BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! Duke with another cover on Banks!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: She brushes off the count with another kick out! Milli pushes Donovan off to break it up. Duke regains control, getting a bit more technical with his opponent now. He reaches his arm around the side of her head, putting her in a side headlock, then slams her down with a deadlift variation into a grounded side headlock!
Eve: Milli’s agility is impressive, but Donovan is exploiting it as a weakness. Duke slowly locks one of her arms, reaching for the other arm behind her back. Duke secures the second arm, and now Milli’s arm is extended and hyperextended as Donovan takes control of her wrist, leveraging her elbow!
Deadprez: Duke transitions into a facelock position to complete the move! Look at what Donovan Duke just performed—that’s technique at its finest!
Eve: Duke’s arms and hands are busy locking Milli up, but now he slowly sees Milli trying to secure a way out by going for a rope break. She quickly uses her right boot to press against his hand while extending her arm, trapping her head under his arm!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is completely trapped by Donovan’s unique technical ability! Mr. Cash In The Vault is surely laying the groundwork right now to prove himself as the key player on his team!
Veena Adams: (Off-Mic) Don’t let that stop you from kicking his dwarf ass. Get out of there already!
Charlie Marr: (Off-Mic) Amazing! That’s what I’m talking about!
Gavin Kirkland: Charlie and Veena are down here motivating their team members, while Milli Banks is struggling to escape from what Donovan is putting her through at the moment. She can be seen groaning in pain as Donovan continues his assault. Eventually, Donovan releases his right boot from her hand and lets go of her arm, dropping her to the ground.
Eve: Banks rolls towards the bottom rope, where Veena Adams continues to watch from ringside, and Bronson kneels down to check on his partner. Donovan takes a brief moment to rest before getting back into the match. He picks Milli up and props her against the corner. Donovan warms up his arm, preparing to hit a chop across Milli’s chest!
Deadprez: Milli ducks under the incoming chop, causing Donovan to almost hit the top turnbuckle! Milli quickly fires off some calf kicks while she has the chance! She can’t use her arm yet, having just been released from Donovan’s tight hold, so she has to rely on her legs to attack!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan staggers back into the corner after those calf kicks. Milli rolls to the center of the ring, gets to her feet, and charges back toward the corner… A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT WITH HER LEFT ARM FROM MILLI BANKS!
Eve: Milli continues to recover, with her left arm working better than her right. She drags Donovan toward the center of the ring… BANKS WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG, PLANTING DONOVAN FACE-FIRST TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: The chance is right here, guys. Bronson is reaching out to help Milli up! Milli is crawling towards him. Donovan is slowly getting back on his feet, still recovering from the bulldog and the European uppercut he took earlier. Milli is getting closer—Donovan might not be able to stop her in time!
(TAG!)
Charlie Marr: (Off-Mic) Oh shi- GO GO GO! DON’T LET HIM GET YOU, DONOVAN!
Gavin Kirkland: The tag is finally made, and Bronson Daniels quickly skips over the ropes, taking down the rising Donovan Duke with a swift clothesline, sending him to the ground! Donovan gets back up, but this time Daniels nails him with multiple gut slaps, quickly stunning Duke!
Eve: Daniels follows up with chest slaps, then a quick leg kick, before leaping off the ground and nailing a Jumping Superkick, sending Donovan reeling against the ropes! Duke still has some fight left in him, but he’s barely able to stay on his feet at the moment. Daniels sets his sights on Duke, picking up the pace and grabbing him to send him flying across the ropes. Duke switches it up, intercepting the Irish whip, and lands a quick forearm smash across Daniels’ jaw, stopping him from tossing him around like a ragdoll.
Deadprez: Duke is about to make a move, but Daniels catches his wrist, spins him around with a ripcord maneuver, and hits him with a Muay Thai knee to the gut! Daniels has Duke under his control, lifts his arm over his head, scoops him up, and plants Duke with a Snap Suplex! Daniels springs back to his feet in a flash and catches Maverick on the apron WITH A ROLLING AXE KICK, SENDING HIM FLYING OFF THE APRON AND CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is reeling from the blow, now lying flat as a pancake on the apron, completely oblivious to Daniels, who’s about to unleash another storm… OH MY! A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! FLYING BRONSON ON THE APRON SMASHES THE BACK OF MAVERICK’S HEAD WHILE HE’S SPRAWLED OUT KISSING THE APRON’S SURFACE! SIR KING BRONSONARY IS GOING INSANE!
Eve: Charlie Marr is just about to create a distraction to buy some time, but Daniels is already back inside the ring, with Donovan up from the ground… HITTING BRONSON AND TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A MASSIVE LARIAT! Daniels had the momentum for a moment, but Duke just stopped him cold with a lariat that spun him around 360 degrees!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke leaps towards the downed Daniels, rolling him through and lifting Bronson onto both shoulders! Fireman’s Carry is now spinning as Duke prepares for a Sidewalk Slam, but Daniels turns the tide, floating over!… INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT REVERSAL! What a counter by Daniels!
Deadprez: Mr. Cash In The Vault starts getting back to his feet, but he’s disoriented! He has no idea where he’s going and is heading straight into danger! Daniels rolls towards Duke with a rolling thunder… LEAPS OFF THE GROUND INTO THE GODBREAKER, HITTING DUKE SQUARELY! Daniels quickly drops Duke to the ground, rolls him over, and here’s the cover! This could be it!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE!-
Gavin Kirkland: Annnnnnd still a kick out! Donovan manages to escape just in time with a kick out at two!
Eve: Just when we thought it was about to be over, Duke refused to let the curtain fall on the main event just yet! On the ringside, Charlie Marr seems to be getting increasingly worried as he sees Bronson’s presence dominating his team. Veena Adams stands tall, watching coldly, though deep down, she’s absolutely pleased with her team’s performance and the preview they’re showing as we head into Territorial Invasion.
Deadprez: Bronson slowly gets back to his feet, lifting Donovan high and pushing him towards the ropes, leaving him leaning against them. Bronson takes a small step back before charging forward and delivering a brutal roundhouse kick to Donovan’s chest, the impact echoing like a gunshot and shattering Donovan’s resolve entirely!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels quickly seizes Duke, who is momentarily distracted by the intense pain, and hits a snapmare. Donovan reels and now Bronson comes up with a vicious shoot kick down his spine!
Eve: BUT DONOVAN IS NOT BACKING DOWN!
(Donovan gets back to his feet and starts yelling at Bronson, daring him to hit him again.)
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) HIT ME, BRONSON! MORE!
(SLAP!)
Gavin Kirkland: Uh oh….
Eve: And the button has been pushed! Donovan just slapped Bronson across the face, igniting a fire within him! Outraged, Bronson unleashes a relentless barrage of stiff shoot kicks towards Donovan, almost causing him to lose his balance!
Deadprez: Bronson follows up with an uppercut—one after another—connecting with Duke consistently, and then a powerful forearm smash lands hard on Duke! Daniels grabs Duke’s arm, trapping it, and begins raining sharp elbows down the side of his head!
Gavin Kirkland: This is one brutal onslaught on Donovan Duke! He might not even be able to move after this! More and more elbows continue to rain down on Donovan! The referee tries to intervene and stop Bronson from knocking him out!
Eve: Daniels drags Donovan back to his feet and locks him in tight at the corner of the ring. He then bounces off the ropes and swings for a hard clothesline at Donovan! Duke ducks underneath Daniels’ arm and hits his own strike to the back of Daniels’ head, IMMEDIATELY SENDING DANIELS STUMBLING LIKE A DOMINO TOWARDS THE ROPES… AND THEN DANIELS REBOUNDS WITH HIS OWN LARIAT BUT BOTH MEN HAVE THE SAME IDEA, AND THEY CRASH INTO EACH OTHER WITH THEIR OWN HARD LARIATS!
Gavin Kirkland: Two fierce elitists lock eyes, refusing to back down without a fight. Both still have some fight left in them, fueled by adrenaline as they slowly pick each other up. Donovan starts firing off headbutts, connecting precisely with Daniels!
Deadprez: And Daniels rebounds off the ropes and delivers his own headbutt, connecting with Duke as well! Duke, feeling the impact, begins to peel off his gear’s singlet, letting out a war cry…
Eve: ONLY TO BE ABRUPTLY SILENCED BY BRONSON’S HARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK, KNOCKING HIM TO BOTH KNEES! Bronson steps back further… and NAILS DUKE WITH ANOTHER KICK, PUTTING HIM DOWN COMPLETELY!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels is now leaning back against the ropes, preparing to charge for one more kick, but this one might be different from the usual roundhouse! Charlie Marr looks worried down at ringside and seems ready to intervene.
Eve: He just got up on the apron! Bronson notices Charlie earlier and tries to kick him off the apron, but Charlie manages to avoid it! The distraction wasn’t enough for Charlie; instead, it gives Veena a chance to taunt the rising Donovan!
Deadprez: Donovan is momentarily bothered by her but quickly gets back to his feet, giving Bronson enough time to take advantage anyway!.. BATMAN PUNCH!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke counters the attack and intercepts Bronson’s momentum, taking both of his legs down to the ground! He tries to turn Bronson over for a Sharpshooter, but Bronson manages to push Duke off with both feet, thrusting his rear, sending him stumbling back to his team’s corner, allowing Cody to make a tag!
(TAG!)
Eve: And Tag! Cody quickly seizes the rope after the tag, taking down Daniels, who had turned his attention towards him, with a Slingshot Shoulder Block, putting Daniels on the mat!
Deadprez: Maverick rolls back to his feet and charges towards Banks, tackling her and knocking her off the apron! Cody positions himself in the corner, charging up his powerful right fist! Daniels is in serious danger!… LIGHTS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: MISS! Cody is unable to land the Lights Out Punch this time as Bronson charges in with his own… THE BATMAN PUNCH! CODY IS OUT! Daniels might not have been able to take advantage of the tag, but he just took Maverick down with a hard Batman Punch right after the tag was made, and now Cody is seriously knocked down! Daniels drops down for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: OLE RELIABLE!!!!! Donovan comes out of the corner and lands a hard right hook on Daniels, knocking him down and breaking up the count, taking his adversary down in one swift move!
Eve: Maverick can be seen crawling, trying to regain consciousness. Banks is back on her feet on the outside, but Duke quickly takes control and heads to the apron. He’s climbing all the way to the top—this is going to be incredibly risky for Duke!…. MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP TO OUTSIDE!!!!!
Deadprez: NO! Banks makes a run up the apron instead, and Duke lands on his feet just as he’s about to nail the moonsault on her outside. Banks is now standing tall on the apron, staring him down!… BANKS LEAPS OFF WITH A DIVING HURRICANRANA, SENDING DUKE CRASHING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: Some stellar work by the Universal Women’s Champion has Donovan down, and she’s quickly skipping up to the apron, reaching out for the tag! Daniels, who’s completely spent after putting all his energy into that one big Superman punch, is crawling towards Banks, who’s reaching out for him!…
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: And a tag! Milli Banks is back in the match, once again facing Cody Maverick, coming face to face with him! Maverick just recovered from the Batman Punch he took earlier, but he couldn’t capitalize much before being nailed with a wheelbarrow, sending him crashing to the ground… AND NOW A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT TO HIS GUT!
Eve: Duke is trying to get back to his feet as Milli rolls back onto his feet and flies over the top! … TOPE CON HILO TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN! DUKE IS PUT BACK DOWN AGAIN!
Deadprez: Maverick is down there, clutching his gut, trying to drag himself through the ropes to lend a hand to Donovan, despite being in agony. Here comes Daniels from the blindside, catching Cody off guard!… DELIVERING A HARD KNEE SENDING HIS JAW TO THE MOON!
Gavin Kirkland: Banks spots an opportunity and wastes no time, sliding back into the ring, getting to her feet, and bouncing off the ropes… TIGER FEINT INTO A 619 CUTTER, DROPPING CODY LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! DIAMOND DUST HITS HOME ON CODY!!!!!!!! MILLI HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: A very close call! Cody Maverick is able to kick out of the 619 Cutter that Milli Banks just planted on him! Cody looks dazed, staring up at the lights, not knowing where he is.
Eve: Banks is now preparing to put Cody’s desire to win to rest. Charlie down there continues to motivate him as Banks runs off the ropes, and it could be over for Maverick! … NEW BODY!!!!!
Deadprez: NO, NO! Maverick has her up on his shoulders! Both of Milli Banks’ knees press into Cody’s shoulders as he drives her into the top turnbuckle, but Milli manages to escape by kicking him away! Maverick falls back inside the ring, and Banks tries for her finisher again… BUT MAVERICK SUDDENLY SPRINGS UP TO THE SECOND ROPE AND HOOKS HER DOWN!… AN AVALANCHE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX SENDS BANKS CRASHING DOWN AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick shows some supernatural strength, putting Banks in serious danger! Daniels has no choice but to enter the ring to intercept this! Bronson runs towards Cody, looking to hit him with the Mickey, I Knocked Your Head Off, but Maverick catches the arm and transitions the elbow… RIGHT INTO THE HIGH ROLLER! DANIELS IS DOWN AND OUT!
Eve: NO! Daniels manages to escape by front-flipping out of the grasp and landing in front of Maverick!… MICKEY, I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!! —BUT CODY DUCKS, AND IT INSTEAD HITS DUKE WHO JUST REACHED THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels took out the wrong target, turning around to see Cody standing by, ready to level him with the DEEP END! A 180-DEGREE SPINEBUSTER CATCHES DANIELS! HE’S OUT AS WELL! IT’S DOWN TO THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION AND CODY MAVERICK YET AGAIN!
Deadprez: Cody makes his way over and picks Milli up from the ground, pulling her back to her feet, but Milli leaps over Maverick’s head into BANKRUPT! SUNSET FLIP ROLL INTO A COVER! MILLI IS TRYING TO STEAL THIS!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!—
Deadprez: Almost three! So close! Cody Maverick barely avoids the pin at the last second to save himself from another loss! Cody gets back up quickly and rushes towards Milli for a clothesline-
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI CATCHES THE ARM AND REVERSES INTO A RIPCORD POSITION!… BITCHMAKER HITS CODY! Milli still has the wrist locked tight and pulls Cody in again for another jumping knee strike, preparing to transition into a Poisonrana- CODY COUNTERS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN TO STOP MILLI IN HER TRACKS!
Eve: Cody is so close! He’s got a chance to win this! Maverick looks to hit the jackpot, pulling Banks in again while wrist-locking her, but Banks turns around, her back facing Cody!… BANKRUPT!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! SHE HITS IT! THE SALIDA DEL SOL! MILLI HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!… THE TEAM OF!… MILLI BANKS AND BRONSON DANIELS!
Gavin Kirkland: What a great main event with both teams exchanging back-and-forth action! This shows so far that Showdown is fully prepared to take over at Territorial Invasion very soon!
Eve: Yes. Cody is showing that the more he comes to the show, the more he works, the more he grinds, the better he gets each time he’s in the ring. No matter what anyone says, Cody knows he has a long way to go, and this match is just a part of his learning journey so far.
Deadprez: There was some great tag teamwork from both sides. Donovan played his role, doing his best to secure the win for his team, while the Wargame side dominated the ring for most of the match. Charlie Marr doesn’t seem as upset about this, knowing who’s leading this team as well.
Gavin Kirkland: But man, what a match, right? Both teams worked in such an amazing way,, and this has made Showdown look like a solid team poised to win big at Territorial Invasion. I can’t wait for any longer to see how everything is going to turn out for both teams! Go Showdown Go!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj (feat. Lil Wayne) plays as Milli Banks slowly rises to her feet, joined by Bronson Daniels and Veena Adams. Both look at each other before raising their titles high, reflecting their superiority over the opposition. )
Gavin Kirkland: Well, that’s all for tonight, folks! I hope you all enjoyed what Showdown brought to the table tonight, and we’ll see you next week.
(The camera cuts close to Veena and Charlie, who exchange smiles as Charlie helps his teammates out. Charlie seems to accept defeat tonight in a respectable manner, assisting Cody in carrying Donovan, who was knocked out by Bronson’s finisher, up the aisle to the back.)
Gavin Kirkland: For tonight, myself, Gavin Kirkland, Eve, and Deadprez will be signing off. Goodnight, ladies and gent –
(Suddenly “Enemy Strike” by Yuki Hayashi starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand up and look around, Veena has her guard up as Milli Banks and Bronson Daniels after an excruciating match are alert to look around too.)
Deadprez: NEW EDEN IS HERE! AND IF TEAM SHOWDOWN THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE LAST LAUGH LAST NIGHT… THEY ARE WRONG!
Eve: PREZ… LOOK!
(Charlie Marr turns back and dashes into the ring along with Cody Maverick and even a hurt Donovan Duke. The crowd erupts when Jon Kelton and SOSA Handerson also make their way to the ring as they stand united.)
Eve: BOTH SHOWDOWN TEAMS STAND UNITED! WAITING FOR WAITING FOR NEW EDEN AND WAIT…. LOOK UP IN THE CONCOURSE!
(The camera shifts to the upper area as all three members of New Eden, the World Heavyweight Champion, Myles, Drake King and Minerva all in black looking down at the ring full of Showdown superstars, they glare into the ring as all three smile knowing that they stirred the pot and has Showdown on high alert.)
Deadprez: Talk about a statement! New Eden are doing it right now, that any time, any place they can strike, but the unity of Team Showdown here tonight shows that they are a United Front ! I like this…. I like this a lot!
(The camera then focuses on all the members of the Showdown Wargames and Brand Warfare teams staring back at New Eden before the show fades to black and comes to an end.)
