Showdown

(EAW intro plays)  

(Showdown opens up with a recap of Showdown last week. The Jaded Hearts defeat Nikki Kimura and Elly Elle, both the Jaded Hearts attacking Elly after the match and completely brutalizing her, grabbing microphones and sending a message to Fire and Ice, telling them they will never take the championships off of them. Raeangel comes out to mock and brag about Territorial Invasion, promising she will be the woman to walk out with the Specialists Championship. Ruler versus Miku ends in a no contest due to Harper and Ryan interfering and brawling, with TLA coming out to lay them out and sending a message. Auburn defeats Aria after an interference from Diamond and Holly. Aria is clearly pissed off about the loss and almost snaps later. Milli Banks defeats Raeangel Guzmán. The Wargames Match takes the ring and once again sends another serious message to the other teams. Charlie, Cody and Donovan defeat La Familia in the main event before they are suddenly attacked by Team Voltage to end the show.)

(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 Nippon Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Japan. 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!

Gavin Kirkland: WE HAVE… ACTUAL MATCHES TO SHOW IN THE LAST SHOW BEFORE TERRITORIAL INVASION! WOOHOO! We got two beautiful ladies in Nikki Kimura and Raeangel Guzman facing off as well as a huge main event, as Vincent Mondrian, Effy McAvoy and SOSA Henderson face off! I am rooting for the beautiful spooky gal!

Eve: And we have as well other segments when we see every one of Showdown’s wrestlers thoughts heading into Territorial Invasion next week!

Deadprez: LET’S GET IT THEN, DAWG! LET’S START THE SHOW OFF WITH A ROUND TABLE FOR THE COMPETITORS OF THE FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH!

(The camera cuts to the ring where Alana Starr is shown holding a microphone.)

Alana Starr: Ladies and gentlemen… WELCOME TO SHOWDOWNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Crowd: APSJOPAJOPJSAOP$JSOAPJFOPAJOF_+SAFSAFJPSAFJSAFSA

(Pyro is shown blasting off all around the arena as the camera zooms around to shots of the crowd.)

Gavin Kirkland: Showdown is starting! And we have a beautiful goddess in the ring!

Eve: Welcome to Showdown! We are about to have the Ro-

Gavin Kirkland: Silence Eve! Pay respects to the goddess!

Eve:  :francis:

Deadprez: Well let’s let Alana Starr introduce the show you all will hear enough of us later on during the matches I am sure.

(The camera cuts back to Alana Starr who is standing in the ring. There is a circular table in the ring with four chairs and she is standing in front of it holding the microphone.)

Alana Starr: Ladies and gentlemen it is now time for the Round Table Discussion! I would like to invite all four competitors who will be competing for the EAW Answers World Championship at Territorial Invasion to the ring! So come on down!

( “Prices” by Lil Uzi Vert hits as Ruler appears on stage.)

Deadprez: Oh, nah what is this?

(Ruler is shown being carried to the ring by a gathering of hooded druids. They carry Ruler to the ring and place him on the apron before surrounding the ring. Ruler steps inside the ring and takes a seat at the round table within the ring.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome RULERRRRRRRRR!!!

Eve: Many people think that this is Ruler’s time and Ruler’s match to break out of the tag team division cage he has been in for too long.

Deadprez: I agree. Ruler is about to live up to his namesake and become the ruler of Showdown if he can get the job done at Territorial Invasion!

Gavin Kirkland: I wonder if there are any baddie druids under them hoods? :mjgrin:

Deadprez: :lupe:

(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits to boos from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome… HARRRRRRRRRRPER LEEEEEEE!!!

(The crowd does not welcome Harper Lee despite Gina Romano’s request.)

Eve: I feel like the crowd would basically be okay with anyone winning this match except Harper.

Gavin Kirkland: And you know exactly why that is Eve. I am sick and tired of people around here acting like a strong independent girlboss can’t be the World Champion! Harper is just as capable as the men are in this business! And besides look at dat a-

Deadprez: I don’t think anyone is questioning her on that basis Gavin. It has a lot more to do with her attitude! These fans are sick and tired of it even if you might be too thirsty to notice!

(Harper Lee enters the ring as the druids part to let her through. She looks vaguely nervous as they surround her while she enters the ring but Ruler allows her to enter and take a seat at the round table. Harper sits as far away from Ruler as possible while giving him disgusted looks before her music fades.)

(Olé by The Bouncing Souls hits as the crowd erupts into cheers.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome… RYAN WILSSSSSSSSSONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

(Ryan Wilson makes his way down to the ring slapping hands with fans on the entrance ramp before sliding into the ring. Ryan tries to shake hands with a druid at ringside but they ignore him completely as he enters the ring.)

Eve: Ryan Wilson is someone who many people think is the favorite to win the Answers World Championship at Territorial Invasion! He has been here a long time but the big one has always eluded him!

Gavin Kirkland: And it will probably continue to do so! Ryan just doesn’t have “face of Showdown” material. I can’t imagine having to look at this ginger bastard on every poster. Now Harper or Anna May or Elly Elle on the other hand…

Deadprez: I think there are other companies out there better suited to what you are looking for Gavin… Showdown is about wrestling. WE WRESTLE!

(“Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac hits as the crowd erupts into cheers once more.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen lastly please welcome the Answers World Champion… TLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(TLA makes his way running down to the ring carrying the Answers World Championship which he throws into the ring before sliding past the druids and patting one on the head as he enters the ring. TLA enters the ring and holds the AWC high up in the air as the crowd continues to cheer before he takes a seat at the round table.)

Deadprez: Well you said that Ryan is the fan favorite to win this thing but I don’t know if you can count out TLA! His fans are notoriously rabid and they won’t stand for TLA dropping that championship to anybody!

Gavin Kirkland: I have a personal grudge against this man because the Poon Palace keeps taking all of my paychecks from EAW. And now he is also the champion? This seems like an EAW conspiracy to keep me broke. I’m going to lose my house…

Eve: You should probably spend your money a little more responsibly Gavin. Speaking of responsibility TLA has been a very responsible champion. He has taken on all comers and this match is just another example of that as he has not backed down from taking on not one, not two, but three challengers at Territorial Invasion!

(TLA’s music fades as Alana Starr steps forward once again.)

Alana Starr: This open table discussion has been set up to give you all the last word before we head into Territorial Invasion. Ruler we will start with you.

(Ruler is handed the microphone.)

Ruler: Last week I was robbed in my inevitable attempts to defeat Miku Sakai. It was clear that I had that match won easily. However, you all had to get involved. But this won’t be a problem at Territorial Invasion. You are all welcomed to get involved. In fact you all have no choice. And I will correct what happened last week as one by one you will all fall before the Ruler of Everything!

(Alana Starr takes the microphone and hands it to Harper Lee who snatches it and shoos Alana off away from her.)

Harper Lee: Really Ruler? You think you would have actually won? Are you even capable of winning a match? You should be happy that I came out to that ring and saved you the embarrassment of taking another loss. Unlike you I am a winner and the fact that I had to sit next to this ginger neckbeard last week was really more than I could take. Just had to get this thing over with. And now they expect me to come out here and sit next to him again? As well as the rest of all of you geeks? Is this really the best that Showdown has to offer? It is honestly a disgrace tha-

(Alana Starr takes the microphone and hands it to Ryan Wilson as Harper Lee looks appalled that she was interrupted mid-rant.)

Ryan Wilson: You are going to have to get used to seeing me more often Harper. Because at Territorial Invasion you will be seeing me up close and personal when you see this boot right up your ass! I am going to show exactly why I am the best pure wrestler here on Showdown. I have been underrated and overlooked for far too long and these people know it! You all know it! I am not going to stand for the gatekeeping by people like TLA, Myles, Jake Smith, and all of the other “main event talent” around here who have kept their clutches on the top prizes for too long. It says it all that nobody in this match except TLA has held a World Title before. But I am going to change that because it is time that EAW has some new blood rising to the top!

(Alana Starr takes the microphone and hands it to TLA.)

TLA: Orale y’all know I ain’t be gatekeeping nobody holmes! I be throwing that gate wide open. Letting em all come through. I lay the oro on the ground. Tell all y’all step right up. Ain’t matter who it is. I don’t give no fucks if it is Ryan Wilson, Harper Lee, Ruler. Step right on up. I be giving all y’all an opportunity to come at el rey. If y’all end up missing then that is on you. I got respect for the talents of all my opps but they ain’t the Baddest Hombre on the Planet! They ain’t El Campeon! And until somebody snatches this championship away from me that ain’t about to change none. Vamonos. Mi gente luchará hasta que estamos muertos. Y’all know that you stay fuckin’ with the best you gonna get the best. You know last week I done threw that gauntlet down. Said yo we ain’t waiting until Territorial Invasion and if y’all down I say we flip this table right now and get our lucha on aqui y ahora!

(Harper Lee is shown grabbing her own microphone from outside the ring.)

Harper Lee: Really TLA? You think you are a fighting champion? But you are clearly afraid to face me one on one. The only way you stand a chance is in this ridiculous Four Way Elimination Match where who knows what could happen. I am sick of the preferential treatment being dished out around here. Alana you should be asham-

(Ryan Wilson has also gotten his own mic and interrupts Harper.)

Ryan Wilson: Scared Harper? It is obvious to everyone else! Maybe you should just forfeit the match right now since you clearly lack the facilities to participate.

(Ruler has also gotten his own mic.)

Ruler: It would be best for all involved here to forfeit. People want to rag on me for being a tag team specialist for so much of my career. But the facts are that unlike the rest of you I have expertise in dealing with multi-competitor scenarios and this match at Territorial Invasion is my match to win!

(TLA is shown flipping his microphone awkwardly as he suddenly realizes it is his turn to speak.)

TLA: My bad I wasn’t paying attention to all that. We taking turns out here? Shoulda let a vato know. Now Ruler you gonna get these manos. Harper gonna get these manos. Ryan gonna get these manos.

Harper Lee: This is exactly what I am talking about. TLA can’t even manage to take this seriously. He is a lazy champion and we all know this to be true. Showdown deserves a better representative.

TLA: Tranquilo mami you know that I be putting that hustle in on the regular.

Ryan Wilson: But you can’t say you have worked as hard or as long as I have! You are on what? Your third championship reign? Where is my championship reign?

Ruler: Not at Territorial Invasion. That is for sure. Because it is when mine shall begin!

TLA: No.

Ruler: Yes.

TLA: Damn.

Harper Lee: I am not participating in this joke any longer. I will see you all at Territorial Invasion.

(Harper Lee begins to leave the ring.)

Ryan Wilson: Classic Harper. Chickening out as usual. I bet we won’t even see her at Territ-

(Suddenly Harper Lee turns around and rushes Ryan Wilson with the microphone and begins leaping on him throwing punches.)

Eve: It was only a matter of time before this got violent! Harper has heard enough!

(Ruler is shown sliding into the ring with a steel chair and hits Harper Lee across the back.)

Deadprez: Ruler now blasting both Harper and Ryan with the steel chair! This thing has broken down.

(TLA is shown reclining in the corner watching the fighting unfold as he has his arm around Alana Starr. Alana slips out of it and begins to leave the ring to safety. TLA looks out to his fans who are cheering for him to get involved as he shrugs and steps forward.)

TLA: Just gonna do this real quick…

(TLA flips the round table and sends it flying across the ring right into Ruler!)

Eve: TLA now getting involved in the fight as he throws the round table aside and begins stomping on his opponents! But Ryan Wilson grabs the leg of TLA from behind and they go falling outside the ring!

Deadprez: Harper Lee just lept over the top rope to the outside taking out both TLA and Ryan and they are brawling right here! But look out Ruler is up in the ring!

(Ruler throws the round table over the top rope down onto all of his opponents on the outside! Ruler then slides outside the ring and grabs the steel chair as he stalks his opponent!)

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(The crowd boos loudly as security is shown rushing out to the ring to pull everyone apart. Ruler is grabbed first and tackled down by security and the chair is taken away.)

Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!

(TLA has broken free of security, and he just took out Ruler with a Running Spear! But security immediately grabs the champ and drags him off! Harper Lee is escaping into the crowd as Ryan Wilson is agreeing to leave on his own! TLA is being dragged out by security through the crowd and Ruler is being taken up the ramp!)

Eve: All hell has broken loose here tonight! I have no idea what is even going to happen at Territorial Invasion! With these four involved it is anyone’s game!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Where did Alana go? Is she safe? I need to check on her!

Deadprez: Sit yo ass down. We are going to have a match to call after this!

(The camera cuts to a commercial for Ozempic featuring Xander Payne.)

(As it comes back to commercial break, the camera pans to Gina Romano for the introductions of the first match.)

Gina Romano: The following is the opening contest, and it is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

( Tear Away by Drowning Pool booes from the crowd as Raeangel steps out with La Familia at her side. )

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

(Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price hits to cheers from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first from West Portland, Oregon she is “The Anchor” NIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKI KIMURA!!!!!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Gavin Kirkman:  Here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Raeangel Guzman and Nikki Kimura clash once again on Showdown! Whenever these two see each other in the ring, they put on a major showing! With Raeangel Guzman going into Territorial Invasion competing for the Specialist Championship, she’s going to need all the momentum she can get. Showing her two opponents that she is fully capable of taking them on! The two step to the center of the ring and there’s the Lock-Up! Nikki, quick to control, takes the wrist. However, Raeangel’s even quicker as she steps under and takes Nikki’s wrist. Forward roll from Raeangel, step over with the boot, Side Headlock now. Technical start to this match, a lot at stake here tonight.

Eve: Raeangel tries to lift Nikki up and over for a Back Sup- Nikki plants herself instead and it’s Raeangel who shifts gears. Shots to the kidney and to the ropes the two go! Nikki let’s go, off the rebound. Raeangel goes for a Shoulder Block- Nikki stays put! Nikki kicks to the midsection and she sends Raeangel to the ropes with an Irish Whip! Raeangel rebounds, looks for a Lariat, but Nikki ducks! Now it’s Nikki off the ropes and- Oh my God! Nikki, proving exactly why she’s been in the spotlight of  Showdown since the beginning! Nikki is feeling good while it’s Raeangel who’s feeling real bad right about now courtesy of that Dropkick.

Deadprez:  Nikki Kimura urges Raeangel to rise. Guzman, back to her feet here and Nikki’s straight to her. She slips behind for a Waistlock- Raeangel with an Elbow to the cheek! Snapmare and right into the Basement Dropkick to the back of Kimura’s neck! The technical start, falling apart very quickly. Kimura rolls to the corner of the ring and it’s Raeangel who finds herself occupying the opposing one. Raeangel’s on the move! Big European Uppercut, Snapmare, she’s to the middle rope and there’s another Uppercut! Raeangel, in control as this match continues. Kimura, absolutely stunned from those shots and Raeangel is reveling in the fans’ distaste! She’s welcoming it here as she gets Nikki Kimura in a Grounded Waist lock.

Gavin Kirkman: The goal; to wear down Nikki Kimura. Kimura fights, getting her feet under her. She uses her strength and powers to a vertical base and there’s a Back Elbow! Taste of Raeangel’s own medicine right there! Raeangel’s hold isn’t budging though as she only tightens and lifts Kimura high- no, Kimura plants herself once again! Another back elbow- Raeangel releases the hold and ducks the shot! Middle Kick square to the chest and Kimura is taken to a knee! Raeangel Guzman, officially on the move once more as she heads to the ropes- Kimura gets there as well and there’s the Canadian Trip! She catches the ankle and pulls her right out of the ring! Kimura opens the door, she’s up to the apron and Raeangel won’t like this-! 

Eve:  DROPKICK JUMPING OFF THE APRON! Raeangel slamming into the barricade, Kimura slamming to the floor!

Gavin Kirkman:  These two, very different styles of offense. Kimura is not an individual to wait. She takes what she wants and moves full speed ahead and that could be a detriment to the challenger tonight. Nikki is back in the ring and the official’s count is starting to grow. Referee, to a count of three and Rawangel rolls into the ring, and it’s Kimura who pursues immediately. She always needs to be on the offensive. Stomps to the spine as Raeangel reaches to the ropes of the ring to get the break. Nikki obliges, but Raeangel clings to them as she retreats to the corner.

Eve: El Oxígeno, to her feet and Kimura’s got her eyes on her. She makes the run, but Raeangel gets her boots up! She slips to the middle rope, but it’s Nikki with a big superkick to one leg and to the other! Raeangel’s trapped! Superkick catches the jaw! Raeangel crumbles and Nikki hooks the leg for the win! 

ONE!

…

TWO-

Eve: Kickout from Raeangel, but Nikki is quick to lock in a Straitjacket hold!

Deadprez:  That S-Grip is locked in tight and you can see the look of struggle plastered across the face of Raeangel Guzman as she tries to slip out of it. Nikki won’t let her though. Raeangel manages to get her way to a knee, but that only allows for Nikki to drive the knee into the spine of the challenger. And now it’s cries of pain for El Oxígeno. She’s straining to find her way out of this here. Nikki releases the knee, which releases a little bit of pressure and tension which opens the door for Raeangel who rises to her feet. She gets some distance, bridges and slips through the legs and there’s a dropkick to the rear!

Gavin Kirkman: Kimura, shaken up a little bit there. She tries not to let it get to her, she swings for the Lariat, but Raeangel ducks and catches her with a Superkick right against the cheek! Kimura stumbles into the corner and Raeangel pursues her! Step-Up knee under the jaw! Raeangel sends Nikki to the other side with an Irish Whip! Nikki bounces out of the corner, but Raeangel catches her with a massive Dropkick to send her right back into it! Nikki crashes into the turnbuckles and Raeangel into the cover!

ONE! 

…

TWO!!

…

Eve:  Kickout from Kimura this time around! However, unlike prior, Raeangel is quick to land a flurry of punches to the body of a downed Nikki! She wants to wear down the Contender now! She takes Kimura’s wrist and pulls her to the center of the ring. She lifts her to a seated position and there’s a Penalty Kick! I heard it loud and clear and it was Nikki who had to feel it! Kimura readjusts, though! She asks for another one and Raeangel delivers! El Oxígen lands another to the spine! That one seems to have done the job!

Gavin Kirkman:  Kimura’s strained and we can see from her mouth that she’s gasping for air here. Raeangem off the ropes- Penalty Kick to the chest and Kimura goes down! Raeangel looks to pursue- but wait a second here! There’s the Neck Screw out of desperation! It’s also the first sign of the set up for The Anchor! She attacks the neck here and now she’s starting to toy with Raeangel as she rises to her feet. It’s some playful, almost teasing, shoves to the face of Raeangel as she gets to her feet and those transition into kicks to the face of Guzman.

Eve: Raeangel drops down from that shot and she is absolutely staggered! Nikki sees her chance and she lands a kick to the knee! Raeangel, down to the other knee and Nikki catches her- DDT! RAEANGEL, SPIKED! SHE LANDS ON THE NECK AND THE COVER!

ONE!

…

TWO!!

…

Deadprez:  El Oxígen gets the shoulder up, Kimura rises to her feet, Raeangel to a knee, Buzzsaw Kick catches Guzman! Nikki Kimura has secured the driver’s seat in this match! Kimura is feeling it as she embraces the adulation from the crowd! They are absolutely behind The Anchor tonight and Nikki exits the ring! She’s up onto the barricade and the fans are loving it! We have to remember that this match isn’t over. Nikki realizes as she’s back in the ring, a handful of Raeangel hair and she tucks her head here! She might be looking for that Liger Bomb! She lifts Raeangel up in that Powerbomb position! She goes to drop here and there it is- WAIT, RAEANGEL! CANADIAN DESTROYER SPIKES THE ANCHOR! SHE STACKS NIKKI FOR THE WIN! 

ONE!

…

TWO!!

…

THREE- !!!

…

Gavin Kirkman: SHE KICKS OUT! An unbelievable feat from Nikki Kimura there and it goes to show that even though this match is pushing her, there’s that sense of urgency with that kickout. Raeangel pulls herself to her feet and there are some stomps all over the body of Nikki Kimura! Now she’s starting to pepper the face of Kimura here! Nikki looks helpless after taking that Destroyer! Raeangel lifts her to her feet and sends her to the ropes and catches her with a big Roundhouse Kick to the side of Nikki’s head! She spins through and Raeangel catches her with a German Suplex, spiking Nikki Kimura!

Eve:  Nikki tries to shake some cobwebs after that Suplex while Raeangel starts to shake away some of her own. She’s still staggered from taking a majority of that offense in this match, but she’s picking up some steam. Kimura is on her hands and knees, but Raeangel scrambles to her feet and there’s a massive Soccer Kick right under the gut of Nikki and The Anchor is in a bad way right here! Raeangel’s still on her feet and she’s still moving in the right direction here all while The Anchor seems to be losing grip on her victory here tonight unfortunately.

Gavin Kirkman:  Raeangel Guzman has control and she’s taking action! As Nikki gets to her feet, Raeangel is to the corner and there’s the Springboard! Middle rope and the Moonsault, but she sticks the landing and snaps back with the Reverse DDT! Cover!

ONE!

…

TWO!!

…

THR- !!!

…

Gavin Kirkman:  Another kickout from Nikki saves this match and her chances to win! Things are starting to heat up, but who will end up walking out of this arena tonight with their music playing? Raeangel doesn’t let up, dragging Nikki up to her feet and hopping on The Anchor’s back, looking for a sunset flip powerbomb to put this one away and leave here with a win! Raeangel starts to move-

Eve: But even after all these women have been through, Nikki still finds the time to retaliate and hit Raeangel with a dropkick on the bridge of her nose! Nikki wills through the pain to drag Raeangel up and force her into the corner. Nikki swoops in with a flurry of offense, the challenger is in a world of trouble, she tries to fight back but gets shut down with an open palm strike! Guzman is beginning to look really out of it and it’s only getting worse for her with Kimura in control.

Deadprez:  The Anchor perches Raeangel on the top turnbuckle and starts beating down on her with even more strikes and jabs to ensure she stays in place. Nikki starts the climb up and Raeangel shows no signs of moving, Kimura hooks the arm, looking for a superplex maybe but no! Raeangel blocks it, Kimura tries again, but once again it’s blocked! Kimura changes directions now, giving up on the superplex she instead headbutts Raeangel which dazes her for a moment and- OH!

Gavin Kirkman: THE TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA CONNECTS! RAEANGEL COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE MAT HARD AND NIKKI SHIFTS INTO A COVER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY!

ONE!

…

TWO!!

…

THREEE- !!!

…

Gavin Kirkman: Raeangel powers out somehow! Despite the hell these two have put each other through they both make it back to their feet and they look at each other with nothing but disdain and bitterness and I think we both know where this is headed! It’s a good old fashioned brawl! Fists are flying in every direction as these two have no love lost for each other and that’s being shown off right now! Neither competitor has been able to get the upper hand thus far, but an elbow smash from Raeangel pushes Nikki a little farther away than usual and she takes advantage of this, catching The Anchor with a kick to the knee that drops her down and capitalizes off of that with the Spike Rana!

Eve:  Nikki hits the mat head first and clutches it in pain, but Raeangel doesn’t give one crap about any of that nonsense and she climbs up to the middle rope while Nikki is still down and out on the mat, and now Raeangel takes the time to gloat at her supposed success before she leaps for a splash! Nikki gets the knees up and Raeangel lands right on them, now Kimura starts her trek up on the top rope, looking for the Frog Splash- but wait!

Gavin Kirkman:  Raeangel…calling the ref over? She’s holding onto her ribs and something might be really wrong with Guzman right now. Nikki isn’t believing this act and she’s still ready to jump despite the ref being there, she rises up…BUT LUIS DE LA ROSA JUST PUSHED NIKKI KIMURA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, SHE FALLS HARD ON THE APRON AND JUST LIKE THAT! ONCE AGAIN LA FAMILIA GETS INVOLVED! The referee not seeing anything wrong with Guzman but now seeing Nikki on the ground on the outside, after taking a nasty bump! Without even questioning it, he starts to make the count!

ONE!

…

TWO!!

…

THREE!!!

…

FOUR!!!!

…

FIVE!!!!

…

Eve: It seems like Raeangel is going to let Nikki be counted out here, knowing exactly what the plan was and executing it perfectly! The crowd is booing Guzman, as she is sure she has this match in the- WAIT A SECOND! Nikki is getting back up, hearing the referee count and is acting on pure instincts! Using the apron to pull herself back up! Guzman isn’t even aware of it! Kimura can do it, all she needs to do is push through and get back into the ring! 

SIX!!!!!!

…

SEVEN!!!!!!!

…

Deadprez: Kimura about to get back into the ring- WAIT A SECOND! Brianna Hill dropping down to the floor!! Grabbing the legs of Kimura! She is struggling, trying to get back into the ring but she is unable to break the grip! The referee, still counting, is not sure why Kimura hasn’t slid back into the ring! It doesn’t matter though…

EIGHT!!!!!!!!

…

NINE!!!!!!!!!!

…

…

…

TEN!!!!!!!!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA COUNTOUT…“El Oxígeno” RAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEANGEL GUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZMAN!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkman: I can’t believe it! La Familia has cost Nikki Kimura this match and Kimura knows it! She’s absolutely livid! This match was exciting back and forth but La Familia ended up being the difference maker!

Eve: Could they also be the difference when it comes to her walking out of Territorial Invasion with the Specialist Championship? 

(La Familia continues to celebrate with Raeangel Guzman in the ring, all while Nikki Kimura sits on the outside glaring at them. This certainly wasn’t the last they were going to see of Kimura…)

(The scene opens up to Miku Sakai and her Divide and Conquer team backstage at Saturday Night Showdown as she’s seen talking to Nikki Kimura as La Familia are seen looking at the catering table near them.)

Miku Sakai: このニッキーを信じられますか？2つのブランドが手を組んで私たちを倒そうとするなんて。正直クソ哀想だけど、少なくとも私たちには、彼らのチームがビッグマッチの前週にまだ決定していない中、私たちのブランドのために全員が勝利を望んでいるというアドバンテージがある！ダイナスティとボルテージはどんなピエロショーをやっているんだ？エッジ・ロードのアイザック・クロウや、ドノヴァン・デュークを必要とするただのビッチであるミア・サントロや、サオリ・エイデンを相手にしなければならない。ボルテージサイドのことも、もう勘弁してくれ！

(Nikki Kimura is seen just staring at Miku Sakai completely dumbfounded as Miku continues on.)

Miku Sakai: バカな兵士だか海兵隊員だかなんだか知らないが、彼の相手もしなければならないし、ゼイン・グレーとネズミになったバカな泥棒もいる。EAWに新しく加わったセリーナ・レイズも忘れられない！正直に言うと、ニッキー……ダイナスティとボルテージがTerritorial Invasionでベストメンバーを送り込んでくるとは思えない！その勝利はショーダウンにもたらされる。それは現時点では保証に過ぎないが、相手が俺たちより格下の何者でもない連中だからといって油断はできない！ただ倒すだけでなく、その両ブランドがショーダウンに恥をかかされるところまでやるんだ！あのクソ女たちと俺たちの圧倒的な差を見ろよ。有望なタレントや元チャンピオンを相手に、ギリギリで組まれただけのグループだ！負けるわけにはいかないんだ。俺たちのような日本のタレントは唯一無二の存在で、誰も俺たちに手出しできないってことを世界に知らしめるんだ！

(As Miku Sakai looks to continue her little rant, Nikki Kimura stops her, looks directly at Miku Sakai, and speaks up.)

Nikki Kimura: Not to interrupt your little speech here Miku, but I’m actually from Portland, Oregon… 

Miku Sakai: You’re from Portland, Oregon?!? I thought you were Japanese…

Nikki Kimura: Japanese-American, I moved to Oregon at age six so I mostly grew up in the United States of Am-

Miku Sakai: Well that’s fucking lame. I hope you understood the gist of what I told you, let’s just hope the rest of our team gets the assignment, because clearly YOU failed Nikki Kimura, UGH!

(Miku Sakai approaches closer to La Familia who’s still looking at the catering being offered as she clears her throat. La Familia looks at Miku Sakai as she starts to speak up.)

Miku Sakai: Hola mis amigos! Muchas gracias for uhm… being aquí with Miku Sakai! Together… nosotros podemos defeat Dynasty and El Voltage! El Showdown es muy fuerto with La Familia, Miku Sakai, and la Nikki Kimura como un equipo! Equipo Dynasty and El Voltage muy débil compared to nosotros! This would be wayyyy easier if you guys could fucking understand english! Anyways… Si, nosotros como un equipo muy fuerte si somos una unit! Tenemos misma meta; ganar Divide and Conquer para Showdown! Ustedes son familia and Nikki Kimura and yo queremos ganar para show que el Showdown es la mejor brand en EAW. Trust mi leadership y do lo mejor que ustedes know como hacer y eso es ser un equipo para beat our enemigos come el Territorial Invasión! El otro equipo muy malo, ellos no son mejor que nosotros, nosotros tenemos something ellos don’t have, no tienen y eso es ser parte of the same brand. Ellos son muy greedy, muy mal, y no tan bueno. Nosotros muy bueno, muy talented, y no somos greedy. El soldado Michael, el ratón Zane Grae, Selina Reyes, and maybe Mia Santoro or Saoi Aizen are both muy malo and muy el stinky! Entiendes lo que I am saying La Familia huh?

(La Familia stare in confusion at Miku Sakai as Brianna Hill speaks up.)

Brianna Hill: Bitch… We can understand English and we can also speak it VERY fluently. Your broken spanish is way more confusing than if you actually spoke to us normally you know? 

Luis De La Rosa: Yeah, it’s like you don’t even know us perra! Divide and Conquer is ours to win just based on the fact we are on the same brand; why don’t you try to just speak to us in english since we all can understand to build up team morale eh?

Roberto De La Rosa: Aye, let’s give her some props for her effort mi hermana y hermano okay? Clearly she tried her best even though su español no es tan bueno okay? Listen Miku, you don’t have to worry about La Familia; we have things under control and best believe that at least La Familia is capable of cooperating unlike a certain Nikki Kimura…

(Miku Sakai looking at everyone around her very angrily as she stomps her foot and pouts before speaking in a very pissed off manner.)

Miku Sakai: UGH!!! You guys are absolutely no fucking fun at all! We could be using this language barrier against them to give us the advantage but instead you guys want to be absolutely boring and lame! Think about what we could do during Divide and Conquer if we used it; we’d have an even bigger advantage but since you guys want to be boring and lame then I hope you bring your absolute best come Territorial Invasion because if we lose you guys are going to be in my fucking shit list okay?!? UGH!!! MORONS I SWEAR!!! 

(Miku Sakai starts to walk off away from the scene as Nikki Kimura and La Familia shrug as they start to walk away from the scene following Miku Sakai’s direction as well before the scene starts to fade elsewhere.)

(The camera fades into a golf course in Tokyo where Charlie Marr is shown standing alongside Jon Kelton, Donovan Duke, SOSA Henderson, & Cody Maverick. None of them look particularly excited to be there except for Charlie who is amping them all up.)

Charlie Marr: This is a team building exercise guys! Show some team spirit!

Jon Kelton: …

Donovan Duke: …

Charlie Marr: That’s what I’m talking about! Jon! Donovan! You two can drive the carts since you are so amped up to be here!

(Charlie Marr gestures towards two golf carts as they split up with Charlie riding with Donovan and SOSA while Kelton and Cody Maverick share a cart together. Donovan is shown nearly tipping the golf cart over but Charlie dives for the wheel preventing disaster.)

Charlie Marr: Damn that was close. Almost crashed and ruined a perfect day. Luckily we have the power of teamwork and friendship on our side.

SOSA Henderson: I’m not getting in that death trap ever again. I’ll just walk from now on.

Charlie Marr: Good idea SOSA. Exercise and sunshine is a beautiful thing.

(SOSA Henderson is shown trying to walk off the course but Charlie directs him back to the driving range and hands him a club.)

Charlie Marr: Come on SOSA. Good friend. My buddy SOSA. Give it a swing.

SOSA Henderson: I’ll swing it at you!

Charlie Marr: Good, good you said you will swing it for me? I appreciate that man. You don’t have to dedicate it to me alone though this is all for Team Showdown!!!

(SOSA Henderson sighs as he steps up to the driving range. A golf ball is dropped as he swings at it but misses wildly as the club goes flying and nearly hits another golfer nearby.)

SOSA Henderson: Oh shit… You know this really is not my sport Charlie. I’m a wrestler. Bitches love SOSA the way he is!

Charlie Marr: Exactly. I mean did you see how far that club went? That’s legit. I think that should count. Just count that as a hit it went pretty far.

SOSA Henderson: :notbad:

Charlie Marr: Okay Cody. You are up next. You got this.

Cody Maverick: You are looking at the Sin City Superstar and that means that what I can do no other man can. I am going to get a hole in one up in here because that is what a Superstar does.

Charlie Marr: Now that is what I am talking about. Confidence! You could learn a thing or two Kelton.

Jon Kelton: What did I even do?

(Cody Maverick is shown trying to hit the golf ball but repeatedly misses. He gets angrier and angrier with each swing before eventually snapping and slamming the club into the ground. Some Japanese workers on the golf course run up to take the club away before he does any more damage to the land.)

Cody Maverick: What the hell is wrong with this piece of shit? Screw this game. Let’s set up a ring out here and I’ll beat all your asses.

Charlie Marr: Come on let’s not even count that. I mean it was probably under par let’s just drop it in the hole and say you got a hole in one good buddy. Good friend.

Cody Maverick: Yeah that’s what I thought. Because what Cody Maverick says he is going to do is what Cody Maverick does do!

(Cody Maverick stalks away and kicks the golf cart in anger before throwing a bag of clubs on the ground. Donovan Duke steps up to calm him down before picking up a club.)

Donovan Duke: Don’t worry. I’m going to pick up the slack for this team!

(Donovan Duke steps up to the driving range and hits the golf ball and it goes flying on the first hit!)

Charlie Marr: GREAT! AWESOME! OMG! DONOVAN YOU ARE A NATURAL AT THI-

(Unfortunately, the ball drops right into a sand trap instead of making it to the green.)

Donovan Duke: O

Charlie Marr: Damn this is awkward.

(Donovan Duke is shown struggling to hit the ball out of the sand trap before eventually nailing it but it goes into a pond instead.)

Charlie Marr: Come on it’s not that bad. I mean at least you hit it.

Donovan Duke: Yeah thanks… I might need some more practice tho…

Charlie Marr: Way to keep your head up buddy. Looks like we all got a shot at least so maybe let’s try putting next.

Jon Kelton: Nah nah hold up. It’s my turn.

Charlie Marr: Come on Kelton. You don’t have to embarrass yourself like this. You know how you get…

Jon Kelton: What is that supposed to mean you bald ass motherfucker? Give me the fucking club. I’m going to own this shit.

(Jon Kelton grabs the club as he goes up to the driving range and drops a golf ball. Kelton swings hard and nails the ball on the first attempt.)

Charlie Marr: Oh shit!

(Kelton looks on as the ball flies across the course landing on the green and then rolls into the hole! Everyone begins to cheer for Kelton as he celebrates nailing a hole in one.)

SOSA Henderson: Oh shit! Kelton a star for real!

Donovoan Duke: Bro is the next Tiger Woods!

Cody Maverick: Good shit bro. You nailed it!

Charlie Marr: Yeah that was pretty good. Team Showdown made this possible!

Jon Kelton: Your turn Charlie. See if you can follow that up!

(Jon Kelton hands the club to Charlie Marr who looks unsure.)

Charlie Marr: Nah I’m all tired out from practicing all morning. I’m just here to be a coach. Team leader up in here!

Jon Kelton: Come on Charlie. Just one swing. You can do it buddy. Show us why you the “leader”.

Charlie Marr: Fine I’ll go do this and show you a thing or tw-

(However, suddenly a loud group of white men in suits and ties pull up in their expensive looking golf cart and begin laughing as they approach Team Showdown.)

Rich White Man: Ohohoho they do just be letting anybody on the course these days! I know that this is Tokyo, but it is clear that standards have slipped!

(One of the men in suits straightens their tie and walks over towards Jon Kelton and points towards their clubs.)

Rich White Man: I saw your little swing. You clearly have at least some talent unlike these others who have disgraced this fine establishment. Fetch me a club would you?

Jon Kelton: Oh, nah what did you say to me?

Rich White Man: Do you know who I am? I am the CEO of many large corporations some based right here in this great Oriental nation. I don’t even know why they would allow thugs like this onto a golf course. Things were much better back in the 50s.

Jon Kelton: I think I’ve heard enough…

SOSA Henderson: Same here.

(SOSA Henderson is shown swinging a golf club from behind nailing the rich man across the head as his blood splatters across the golf course. The wealthy golfers try to speed away in their cart, but Cody Maverick is standing in the way.)

Cody Maverick: Going somewhere?

(The golfers swerve to try to avoid Cody Maverick who swings a club and shatters the windshield of the golf cart. The cart crashes and the golfers fall into a nearby sand trap slipping as they try to get up with their expensive outfits covered in sand.)

Donovan Duke: Looks like you all are trapped… in the sand!

Rich White Man: No! I won’t be humiliated by anyone who makes a pun as bad as that!

(Donovan Duke is shown connecting with a Tope Con Hilo on the golfers right into the sand trap laying them all out. Jon Kelton then approaches and grinds the man who insulted him earlier’s face into the sand as he coughs and chokes up.)

Rich White Man: I’M SORRY! AHH! LET ME GO!

Jon Kelton: Damn that’s all you had to say.

(Jon Kelton lets the golfers go as they have apologized for their actions, and they run away at full speed. Charlie Marr is shown looking on impressed.)

Charlie Marr: Wow! Team Showdown… This is what I am talking about! Territorial Invasion? Yo… I think we are ready…

(The camera fades to a tourism commercial for Springfield, Ohio featuring Steroid Dawg.)

(Showdown slowly came back from commercials and it quickly tuned in towards backstage. There was just one lone woman leaning against the wall in complete silence. That of course was simply Aria herself and ignoring the people passing by, simply stuck in her own world and thinking to herself right now about the words that were going to come to her for what she was about to say. It was the first time someone ever saw her so vulnerable in this kind of state, in this moment right now as she thought about everything that led to this moment.)

(She simply sat there in complete silence against the wall before she saw that finally she saw what she requested arrived in front of her. She blinked quickly and then sighed to herself, she just needed to get this done with and just go through with the life that she has in front of her. The cameraman finally arrived and she rose up to her feet in silence, looking over to the distance, slightly annoyed that he ended up arriving late but she decided to not say anything about it, rising up to her feet and then leaning against the wall as she saw that the camera was finally filming, she let out a small sigh and then spoke up.)

Aria Lestrade: The story of Aria, you have probably already heard of it several times, I have already told you how much it means being here in this place, and now once again, I am going to say it that I have enjoyed just meeting so many people, so many people around me that have somehow shaped me into the person that I am right now, and yeah, genuinely, I am going to end up speaking from the heart here, I am going to end up speaking with whatever way of thinking I have at this moment and I am not going to let anybody stop me from truly just talking forward to this camera, just talking with actual passion and genuine feeling to everything that has been around me. And genuinely, what can I say that all of you have not heard already from, I have cried in front of that ring for all of you to watch and truly feel how much of a person I was, how much fire, how much I was not going to let this dream of mine just completely disappear away from my grasp.

Aria Lestrade: I arrived here because I did not want to show I was a complete loser in any way, I did not want to show that I was the person and wrestler they said I was when I first started wrestling, I could not buy a single win in front of me and I was simply a stupid bitch for thinking that I could ever do something that was left in the memories of people around me, that they actually went to go to that event to watch me, for my matches, to watch me wrestle and fight against the people that in front of me, I just wanted for the first time in my life feel that I could make some kind of difference in the world around me, and I barely did anything in anyway when I first started, I truly thought that I wasted my time, I truly thought that I wasted the money of my uncle when first buying those wrestling classes for myself, it made me wonder and think about everything that I did up to that point, all of the things and incidents that happened in my life leading up to that moment, all of the situations that shaped Aria into who Aria is supposed to be and I truly believed that I would never be able to find inner peace in myself, I thought that I would always be cursed with bad luck, I thought that I would not ever live up to the expectations placed on me and the expectations on the people around me who thought I would be able to be a genuinely great detective. To the people who thought I would be a great wrestler.

Aria Lestrade: Then I arrived here and showed that I could be truly great, that whatever happened when I first started was simply the inability to genuinely believe in myself, and believe that I could do it. Believe that I could be the one to truly be in front of this camera and make people believe in me simply because of the words that I have said, because of what made Aria the person that she was, that maybe she still is today in a way, her genuine determination to change the world for the better in every single way possible, to bring some kind of change, to not let her life stay the same way it has been for almost two decades! And then she did it! She was able to accomplish her dream of becoming a champion! She was able to get people on her side, she was able to get them to cheer for her and finally believe in her! And truly, she met so many people here as well that were able to shape her into such a stronger wrestler and person, who have genuinely made her believe that she could make anything she wanted if she tried as hard as she could, and even to this day when I feel like I am completely alone, I even have to thank Miku for genuinely lending a hand and making me believe that whatever I am trying to be can have friends with her too. 

Aria Lestrade: What the fuck happened? I don’t know, I truly can not tell you what the hell happened to be at this point of my life, at this point of my career, it is just… sad if I am completely honest with you, that I genuinely wanted to succeed, I wanted to help people, I wanted to be able to make people smile and… maybe give some kind of inspiration and maybe try their hardest and work to be the best version of themselves they could be. And now I truly feel like I am at the bottom, I feel that I am once again back where I started at the wrestling of my career, I completely regressed in every way, I failed a lot of people… sigh… there is a lot of reasons as to why I am going to say what I say next right now, minor injuries that I caught up that worsened up for how much I have continued to fight, the way that I have lost myself from everything and my original objective here, the way that I have completely ended up at the bottom once more and letting the absolute brutality and genuinely heartless behavior of this place change me for the worst… I am going to leave EAW if I lose at Territorial Invasion.

Aria Lestrade: It is wrestling after all, never say never, nobody truly stays gone and that kind of stuff, but whatever I showed in front of you for the past few weeks is not ARIA at all, not even Aria Lestrade… so whatever happens there in that event… cheered or booed when I head into that ring… it has been a pleasure.

(Aria moved over for a moment, standing frozen for a few seconds, sighing to herself and then quickly covering the camera with her hand, a black screen popping up for a few seconds before Showdown faded back to commercials.)

(The camera transitions to show the inside of La Familia’s lockerroom where Roberto De La Rosa is seen talking to all of La Familia trying to hype them up and motivate them as well while Brianna Hill, Raeangel Guzman, and Luis De La Rosa are seen listening in.)

Roberto De La Rosa: Mi querido hermano y queridas hermanas, my drea brother and sisters… Territorial Invasion is getting very near and while we have done great work since arriving on Saturday Night Showdown, we have a huge task nearing, and best believe that La Familia will have to give their full effort like we usually do, and then some for us to get the job done! Mi familia mia, at Territorial Invasion we have a great opportunity for La Familia to not only bring honor to OUR brand, not just ourselves as a family, but nuestro legado, our legacy as well! Just look at the matches we have lined up for ourselves mis hermanos; we have Raeangel Guzman taking on Daniella Atlas and the current EAW Specialist Champion KASAI for an opportunity not just to prove that Saturday Night Showdown is where the future of  the women’s division is at, but that Raeangel truly is as good as we in La Familia have told the world she is when she becomes la NUEVA campeona, the NEW champion!

(Roberto motions with his arm towards Raeangel’s direction as he starts to clap, the rest of La Familia starts to clap alongside him, as Raeangel has a very confident smirk on her face, and speaks up.)

Raeangel Guzman: Don’t you worry Roberto, at Territorial Invasion I am going to make sure those two overrated idiots are not only put in their place, but that I bring gold back to La Familia as well! Daniella Atlas and KASAI may think whatever they like about me but besides not caring about what they have to say; La Familia has proven time and time again that we get the job done when it matters the most! My match at Territorial Invasion is no different and soon enough “El Oxígeno” is going to save the EAW Specialist Championship and bring honor to that championship while helping elevate our family in the process as well!

(All of La Familia nods along as they pat her back before Roberto chuckles a bit as he speaks up once again.)

Roberto De La Rosa: Esa es la energía que nos gusta de ti hermana, that’s the energy we like from you sister, and best believe you will do a tremendous job in your championship match and you becoming the next EAW Specialist Champion is simply meant to be! Just like Saturday Night Showdown bringing the win in the Divide and Conquer match is meant to be because our brand has something the others don’t; una familia, a family that will do whatever it takes to make sure that we get bragging rights at being the absolute best in EAW and that we truly are a part of the best brand that we will continue to improve on together como familia, like family! 

(Roberto wraps his arms around everyone in the room as he looks at them with a very confident smile on his face.)

Roberto De La Rosa: I mean we only speak the truth and truth be told mi familia; nobody can touch us because we have a bond that can never be broken! Esa rata Valerie lo intento, that rat Valerie tried it, and she failed in miserable fashion and you know why that is? Our combined skill set just can’t be matched and most definitely can’t be beaten as well! Just look at us; we have Brianna Hill, a very talented elitist that continues to show that underestimating her ability inside that ring is VERY costly, and her loyalty is proof enough that nuestra hermana here has what it takes to be a staple of this brand as a whole! Brianna Hill is and will continue to be the future of this industry and when the rest of the world sees what we all see in her… Let’s just say we are going to be celebrating the highs while those that doubted her are going to regret it every single time she’s shown or mentioned! This right here is someone you want fighting alongside you and we are grateful that you are part of this family while helping us build a legacy that will not be forgotten anytime soon!

(Brianna Hill is seen sporting a very confident smile affecting hearing those words as Raeangel and Luis are seen nodding along to Roberto’s words.)

Brianna Hill: I appreciate your kind words mi hermano… I won’t let this family down and best believe that I’ll make sure La Familia continues to prosper the way we know best; by any means necessary!

Roberto De La Rosa: That’s great to hear Bri and I know Raeangel and Luis feel the same way. Speaking of Luisito here… Mi hermano mío, brother of mine, you already know how I feel about your place in this family. You are undoubtedly the BEST De La Rosa this family has ever had and while esos idiotas, those idiots don’t see what we see in you… Soon enough they will see what exactly you bring to the table and why you, just like Bri and Raeangel, are the future of this industry as well! You’ve got the skill to hang with the absolute best even when the idiots want to undersell you as nothing but a complete joke but add to the fact you are a master strategist; you’re the perfect elitist being molded by a HEALTHY support system! You’re a diamond in the rough mano, but the type of pressure we’ve been through… Soon enough they’ll see that the once diamond in the rough has become THE jewel of Saturday Night Showdown! Your mind alongside the rest of our skill set and the rest of the Divide and Conquer team skill set will be the reason we bring back the win to our brand! Once we do that the doubters in the masses will have no other choice but to trust in La Familia’s vision for Showdown as a whole! With all of you and El Candidato Perfecto, the Perfect Candidate… We will lead this brand to prosperity and to a better tomorrow as well! 

(The whole room’s spirits have been elevated even more as La Familia’s locker room is filled with very loud celebrations. As the celebration is barely starting, Luis De La Rosa clears his throat, and with a cocky smirk on his face he speaks up.)

Luis De La Rosa: YEAH! ÓRALE… WE NEED TO INVADE SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE MI FAMILIA!

(Brianna Hill, Raeangel Guzman, and Roberto all look at the clearly very excited Luis De La Rosa in confusion.)

Brianna Hill: Huh?!?

Raeangel Guzman: What?!?

Roberto De La Rosa: Que?!?

(The room falls silent as La Familia continues to simply stare in confusion as Luis De La Rosa clears his throat.)

Luis De La Rosa: Yeah we should invade Voltage and show them that not keeping La Familia was their worst mistake! Think about it… We’d have them shook and have the mental advantage during the Divide and Conquer match mis hermanos!

(Brianna, Raeangel, and Roberto continue to stare at Luis dumbfounded as the three speak in unison.)

Roberto De La Rosa: Why?

Brianna Hill: Why?

Raeangel Guzman: Why?

(Luis De La Rosa, still sporting his cocky smirk, starts tapping the side of his head with his finger.)

Luis De La Rosa: Piensen, think! We knock some of those idiotas down and they won’t know what hit them! That’s mind games 101 mis hermanos! This is how we make a big statement that La Familia means business and that Divide and Conquer is OURS to win! Plus it’ll boost the morale of our team because while we already have an unbreakable bond… We still have to work with Miku Sakai and esa cucaracha mugrosa, that dirty cockroach Nikki Kimura and we know Nikki still isn’t over the fact we’ve had her number multiple times on top of the fact that you know… I mogged her a few weeks back. It’s just the perfect plan to not only get us closer to the win at Territorial Invasion but show all of EAW that La Familia is the best faction in all of EAW!

(As they continue to just stare down Luis De La Rosa, Roberto puts his hand on Luis’ shoulder, and smirks before speaking up.)

Roberto De La Rosa: No. We all know that you just want to see HER…

Luis De La Rosa: …

Roberto De La Rosa: …

Luis De La Rosa: …

Roberto De La Rosa: …

(After a few seconds of Roberto and Luis staring at each other while Brianna and Raeangel are seen smiling while shaking their heads side to side, Luis finally speaks up, and lets out a sligh sigh.) 

Luis De La Rosa: Alright mano… You got me! I want us to head over to Voltage to see a mi preciosa reina, my beautiful queen, but still think about the other things I said! Those still hold truth and are very beneficial for us!!!

Roberto De La Rosa: …

Luis De La Rosa: C’mon carnal… You know how I feel about mi mujer, my woman! She’s all alone on Voltage, miserable as one can be while being forced to stay away from su rey, her king… It’s just not right Roberto, it’s not right at all! We can right the wrongs that EAW management caused during the draft with this invasion; one night is all we need to show the world that love always wins! Just one night with mi querida is all I am asking for mi familia! One kiss, that’s all I need Roberto. One kiss that will bring me the power of a thousand men we are going to need in this match; it’ll be enough to carry us not just to a victory but a dominant one at that! Don’t make me beg more because I will do whatever I need to be reunited with la mujer de mis sueños, the woman of my dreams… The masses WANT this hermano! The people want to see EAW’s favorite couple and honestly speaking EAW’s IT couple reunited even for just one night; we give them that and the people watching will start believing in La Familia even more! We will gain massive support if we give them that one moment and we will gain more trust in OUR vision for not just Saturday Night Showdown, but all of EAW as a whole! Trust in La Familia? Oh they will trust us if you only give me this once chance… Por favor mi hermano mío… Please… Love HAS to win! Think about La Familia and what this will mean for us carnal and how it’ll do us more good than bad…

(Roberto keeps his arm on Luis’ shoulder for a bit before putting it down as he lets out a sigh, rolls his eyes, and walks out of the locker room.)

Luis De La Rosa: Is that a yes?

(Luis looks at both Brianna and Raeangel who are seen just slightly laughing.)

Luis De La Rosa: Well that wasn’t a no! HEY! ROBERTO! WAIT UP!

(As Luis exits out of the locker room following right behind Roberto, Brianna Hill and Raeangel Guzman are left alone as they look at each other.)

Raeangel Guzman: Men am I right?

Brianna Hill: Preach it hermana. Preach it.

(Both Brianna Hill and Raeangel Guzman are both seen smiling at what just had occurred as the scene fades aways elsewhere.)

(As the camera switches backstage,  Nikki Kimura is seen in the offices of Kennedy Street, but it is not the General Manager that is there, not at all, it is none other than the Assistant General Manager, Alana Starr. Nikki is not happy about what happened earlier in the night, as she slams the desk.)

Nikki Kimura: I am getting sick of this! I have tried to be patient, but every time I do, I get bit in the ass and La Familia continues to be a thorn on my side! I should have won that match, and you know it!

Alana Starr: First of all, I need you to calm down, okay? Secondly, we saw what happened and you will get your chance again at some point but right now I need you to put that to the side because duh! We have none other than Divide and Conquer, and guess what? YOU NEED TO GET ALONG WITH THEM!

Nikki Kimura: Get along with them!? I…..

Alana Starr: NO! Nikki, listen to me! This is so important okay!? Showdown has stunk bad at Territorial Invasion, not anymore! So what I need is for you to get that whatever it is you have right now and settle down, we need for everyone to work together, please!

Nikki Kimura: That is easier set than done! Whatever….

(But as Nikki Kimura was speaking, suddenly she is cut off, slowly turning around as a man in a black suit and cowboy hat us standing in the doorway, Alana Starr’s eyes widen as she knows this man from her past in wrestling, even a lot of the fans know who he is as the boo, some cheer in surprise, it is none other than Silas Mason.)

Alana Starr: Silas Mason? What the heck are you doing here.

Silas Mason: Alana Starr, beautiful as ever, I’m always available to manage you the day you decide to get back in the ring.

Alana Starr: Uh no! I am about to call security and….

Silas Mason: Don’t bother. The lovely Kennedy Street knows that I am here. She invited me.

Alana Starr: What!?

(Nikki interrupts.)

Nikki Kimura: Ahem…. Who is that?

Silas Mason: Silas Mason…. Manager extraordinaire. IT Is a pleasure to meet you and I can’t help but hear your little plight, darling, and I think that I can help you.

Nikki Kimura: :oh:

Silas Mason: That is right, ask Alana Starr here, she will tell you, I was the manager of champions. Alana, tell her how many people I managed.

Alana Starr: In your time across three promotions, twelve.

Silas Mason: Twelve, and how many of them became Champions?

Alana Starr: Twelve.

Silas Mason: And go ahead and tell her, Alana. Tell her the truth.

Alana Starr: I was one of them.

Silas Mason: That is right, so Nikki Kimura, I’ll tell you what darling. If you want to win and become a champion? You talk to me. So how about we do this, on the Showdown after Territorial Invasion….

(He takes out a card from his jacket and hands it to her.)

Silas Mason: We talk.

(Silas then grabs the hand of Alana and kisses it.)

Silas Mason: Good to see you again.

(Alana doesn’t seem amused, then glances over to Nikki who smirks, shrugs her shoulders and walks out as the scene fades.)

(The camera returns to the arena where there is nothing going on until we see the General Manager Kennedy Street enter the arena to mixed reaction from the crowd. Kennedy is looking as glamorous as ever as she heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN! KENNEDY STREET!

Deadprez: Welcome back to Showdown and we are now being graced with the presence of the General Manager of Showdown, Kennedy Street. I heard that she would have something to say at some point tonight and this might be it.

Gavin Kirkland: All the other brands should be jealous of us. Not only is Kennedy Street beautiful beyond belief, she has an amazing mind for business. Look at how great Showdown has thrived since Kennedy took over. Showdown has improved so much in the years of Kennedy Street.

Eve: With Territorial Invasion next week, there is no doubt that she is going to be addressing the event as well as her Showdown roster who are involved in the event. Wouldn’t this be a feather in the cap of our General Manager if she can get a Territorial Invasion victory or two on her professional resume? Either way, I guess we are about to find out what’s on the mind of our esteemed General Manager.

(Kennedy stops by the timekeeper’s area and grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before she walks up the ring steps and enters the ring. Kennedy is standing in the center of the ring with her microphone in hand as she waits for the crowd to die down before she begins to speak.)

Kennedy Street: Hello, Tokyo! Are you all enjoying Kennedy Street’s Showdown?

(The crowd starts to cheer as Kennedy has a smile on her face before she continues.)

Kennedy Street: Well of course you are since I am the one running this brand. But right now I am out here to address something important and that is next week’s Territorial Invasion event.

You see, I want to tell each and every member of the Showdown roster right now how important this event is to me. Especially this year’s event.

Kennedy Street: Why you may ask? Do you know how long it has been since Showdown has been victorious at Territorial Invasion? Hmmm… I don’t think we’ve EVER been victorious at Territorial Invasion and that just doesn’t sit well with me.

Kennedy Street: Now Kennie is getting just a little sick and tired of watching her Blue Brand never winning this, but you know what? I think that our luck is going to change this year. Why? Because Showdown has teams that are two of the best in my memory and I am looking for my Blue Brand to bring home some W’s.

(Kennedy soaks in the crowd reaction for a moment as she looks into the camera and begins to address all of the Showdown teams and competitors.)

Kennedy Street: First we have Aria Lestrade representing Showdown in a Women’s Showcase Triple Threat match. I have no doubts that Aria is going to show Voltage and Dynasty how tough the women of Showdown truly are.

Kennedy Street: Then we have Raeangel Guzman representing Showdown in the Specialists Championship match. Raeangel has a lot of confidence and intensity. Make sure that you bring the Specialists Championship back to Showdown where it belongs!

Kennedy Street: Now Miku Sakai has assembled a strong team for the Divide and Conquer match. Only one person can win, just make sure that the last person standing is from Team Showdown.

Kennedy Street: Brand Warfare. Charlie. Cody. Duke. SOSA. Kelton. Last week, Voltage came onto our turf and took us down. We got a little payback on Voltage, but we get the ultimate payback next week WHEN WE WIN BRAND WARFARE!

Kennedy Street: Last but certainly not least we have our War Games Trio. Veena. Milli. Bronson. There is a reason why you three are a team. You are three of the best Showdown and all of EAW has to offer. Bring home the grand prize and WIN WAR GAMES!

(The crowd started cheering louder after Kennedy addressed everybody for Territorial Invasion. She feels very confident about Showdown’s chances before she continues.)

Kennedy Street: But now all these matches are in the hands of my amazing Showdown representatives, but let me tell you that I have the utmost confidence that Showdown is going to have a clean s–

(Kennedy is then cut off by the sounds of “True Love” by CFO$. The sounds of boos start to magnify as the Unified Tag Team Champions The Jaded Hearts enter the arena. Sienna and Kassidy have their Tag Team Titles on their respective shoulders and scowls on their respective faces as they head to the ring.)

Gavin Kirkland: As if this moment couldn’t get any better, we are now graced with the presence of two more beautiful ladies. Oh I am so happy to be on Showdown! The Jaded Hearts are here and they represent Showdown! I’m so excited I could just burst!

Eve: Eww. Please don’t. But I can only wonder what in the world Sienna and Kassidy want to do with our General Manager. Knowing these two, it could be about absolutely anything. Again, knowing these two, it probably has something to do with Territorial Invasion.

Deadprez: More than likely, Eve. Kass and Sienna are also involved with another one of the high profile interbrand matchups at Territorial Invasion as they defend the Tag Team Championships against Dynasty’s Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts, better known as Fire and Ice. Regardless, I can only wonder what Kass and Sienna have to say. I guess we are about to find out.

(Kass and Sienna walk by the timekeeper’s area and grab microphones from Gina Romano and shoot her dirty glares before they enter the ring. As they enter the ring, Kennedy has kept her composure and her class even though she has been interrupted. All three ladies are face to face in the ring as The Jaded Hearts’ entrance music fades off.)

Kennedy Street: Kassidy Heart. Sienna Jade. Why does Kennie have the pleasure of seeing you two in the ring right now?

Kassidy Heart: Alright. None of that cutesy crap with us, Kennedy. We’re not in the mood.

Sienna Jade: Yeah. We were backstage hearing you rattle off about all the other losers on this brand and how confident you are about them “bringing home” victory at Territorial Invasion or some stupid shit like that.

Kassidy Heart: But you seemed to neglect to mention one VERRRRRRRRY important part of Showdown. THE Unified Tag Team Champions. THE most dominating tag team in EAW today. THE best team in all of EAW HISTORY! THE! JADED! HEARTS!

Sienna Jade: So, what’s the deal, Kennedy? Why did you not mention us?

(Kennedy looks down for a second and shakes her head with a smile before she looks back up to the Jaded Hearts and answers their question.)

Kennedy Street: Well, ladies, you just answered your own question.

Kassidy Heart: Don’t speak in riddles. What the hell are you talking about?

Kennedy Street: Well… you are the Jaded Hearts. You are the Unified Tag Team Champions. You are one of the best….

Sienna Jade: THE BEST!

Kennedy Street: …the best tag team in EAW History. My confidence in you two should go without saying. At Territorial Invasion, I expect nothing less than a victory from you two.

(Sienna and Kassidy look at each other for a moment and soak in what she had to say. They both nod and look back at Kennedy.)

Sienna Jade: Well when you’re right, you’re right. I mean if our own General Manager has that much confidence in us that she didn’t have to say anything about our match, you stupid “fans” in the damn crowd should be thinking the exact same way.

Kassidy Heart: At Territorial Invasion, we are going to beat the holy shit out of Fire and Ice so badly that they both go back into hiding for another three years.

Sienna Jade: You know what? We are so confident in ourselves that we are going to call out our challengers right here and right now!

Kassidy Heart: That’s right! Rex! Raven! You two dumb old fucks! Get your ass out here because we are gonna fight!

(Kassidy and Sienna toss their microphones to the ground as they stare up at the entrance ramp waiting for Fire and Ice as Kennedy looks on with intrigue. The Champs don’t have to wait very long before ‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park starts playing and Fire and Ice enter the arena and bolt right to the ring.)

Deadprez: ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! FIRE AND ICE ARE ON SHOWDOWN AND THEY ARE HEADING RIGHT TO THE RING!

Eve: This has been a long time coming and there they go! Fire and Ice slide into the ring AND ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE BRAWLING IN THE RING RIGHT NOW!

Gavin Kirkland: LOOK OUT, KENNEDY! SHE GETS OUT OF HARM’S WAY AND OUT OF THE RING AS THE CHAMPIONS AND THEIR CHALLENGERS ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!

Deadprez: THE FIGHT HAS GOT INTENSE THAT THEY HAVE ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND ARE BRAWLING AT RINGSIDE! 

Eve: These teams have wanted to get at each other in the very worst way and now they are just beating the hell out of each other and the crowd is loving it.

Gavin Kirkland: How dare they beat up the beautiful Jaded Hearts. That is uncalled for!

Deadprez: Call it what you want, but these four are having a hard time keeping any advantage AS REX CLOTHESLINES KASSIDY OVER THE BARRICADE! MEANWHILE SIENNA JADE WITH A BACK DROP TAKES RAVEN OVER THE BARRICADE!

Eve: Now they are fighting in the crowd and they really don’t give a damn. This has been building and building and it is about to reach a fever pitch.

Gavin Kirkland: And the crowd is loving it. They want to let them fight and I don’t blame them. I hope Kass and Sienna rip them apart!

Deadprez: You see how badly they are beating the hell out of each other now. Can you imagine what they will do to each other at Territorial Invasion with the Unified Tag Team Championships on the line? That match is gonna be a massacre!

(The final shot shows the two teams still brawling as they head to the back as security starts to make their way to the teams to break them up as the camera fades elsewhere.)

(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing front and center with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for tonight’s main event.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is a special BRAND WARFARE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Lacrimosa – Epic Version’ by Samuel Kim starts to play as the fans cheer for the entrance of Vincent Mondrian, but not as loudly considering he is not on his home turf. Vincent looks ready for action as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring. Representing DYNASTY! From Laren, Netherlands! Weighing 205 pounds! Here is “THE RESOLUTE” VINCENT MONDRIAN!

Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight on Showdown we have a special attraction for you. A little Brand Warfare preview match with members of each team competing in this match and here comes Dynasty’s Vincent Mondrian heading to the ring.

Eve: Vincent is the least experienced member of his team, but he picked up a huge victory over Mikhaila Barra last week and he is looking to gain more momentum as we head to Territorial Invasion.

Gavin Kirkland: He might be a rising star on Dynasty, but he is starting to swim with the big fishes now. He better be careful, or the sharks of EAW are going to eat him alive. This is going to be a test for him.

(Vincent enters the ring and takes his corner as his entrance music is replaced by “Psycho” by That’s Outrageous! Seconds later, we see Effy McAvoy pop up from behind the ring barrier and slowly climbs over the barrier to loud boos from the crowd. Seconds later we see Ahren Fournier come to ringside as Effy slowly heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing his opponents! First! Representing VOLTAGE and accompanied to the ring by Ahren Fournier! From Watch Hil, Rhode Island! Weighing 125 pounds! Here is “THE OMEN” EFFY MCAVOY!

Gavin Kirkland: I was going to say how hot she is, but she also looks to be like a damn nut. I kinda dig crazy girls if you ask me.
Deadprez: Of course you would think that. Effy McAvoy is certainly a wild card in the Brand Warfare match… in more ways than one. She’s nuts, but she is going to do whatever she can to make Ahren Fournier proud.

Eve: Last time we saw Effy, she was in the middle of that huge three team brawl on Voltage. Tonight she is looking to give a little winner’s advantage to Voltage. Will she be able to pull it off?

(Effy is already in the ring and looking very creepy as she stares at Vincent before her entrance music is replaced by “Faneto” by Chief Keef as the crowd give a more positive reaction than usual for SOSA Henderson considering this is his turf. SOSA enters the arena wearing trademark sunglasses and his sosa chain as he heads to the ring. )

Gina Romano: Introducing the final participant! Representing SHOWDOWN! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing 191 pounds! Here is MR. 24/7! “BULLETPROOF” SOSA HENDERSON!

Eve: Here comes SOSA! He might not be the most liked, but when it involves Brand Warfare, the Showdown faithful strongly support the members of the Blue Brand!

Gavin Kirkland: Because WE WRESTLE!! WOOOOOOOOOO! These two don’t stand a chance when they are coming into SOSA’S HOUSE! Just keep sporting equipment away from him, he’ll start throwing it.

Deadprez: Two weeks ago, SOSA and Jon Kelton picked up a huge win over TLA and Harper Lee while also showing team loyalty supporting his team last week. Will he bring an early Brand Warfare victory to Showdown tonight? We are about to find out!

(SOSA enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as his entrance music fades off. SOSA hands his sunglasses and chain to the referee, who first hands SOSA’s items to Gina Romano before they check all three competitors and call for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: Here we go with tonight’s main event! Triple threat action for a little brand advantage before Territorial Invasion. All three competitors are being very cautious at the moment and are choosing not to jump into–

Deadprez: AND EFFY MCAVOY OUT OF NOWHERE STARTS ATTACKING SOSA HENDERSON AND NOW VINCENT IS JOINING IN ON THE ATTACK AS THEY START TO BEAT DOWN THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: Jealousy! Showdown has the World Champion in the match and they are beating the crap out of him. NOT IN SOSA’S HOUSE! COME ON SOSA FIGHT BACK!

Deadprez: SOSA is whipped to the ropes AND HE MANAGES TO LEAP OVER THE DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT! SOSA keeps running to the ropes AND HE JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE–

Eve: SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE DROPKICK BY SOSA HENDERSON! Beautiful counter that takes both of his opposition down. 

Gavin Kirkland: It’s Vincent who is back to his feet first and SOSA whips Vincent into the corner. SOSA comes to follow up BUT VINCENT CATCHES SOSA WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Vincent is going to pay for that.

Eve: SOSA staggers back after the boot AND EFFY JUMPS ON SOSA’S BACK AND SHE IS JUST PUNCHING SOSA IN THE COLLARBONE! THAT DOESN’T LOOK COMFORTABLE!

Deadprez: SOSA is trying to shake Effy off, but Effy is holding on like some horror movie zombie. She just won’t go away AND VINCENT COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE WITH A LARIAT TO SOSA AND IT TAKES BOTH SOSA AND EFFY DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA landed on top of Effy and SOSA is dragged back to his feet by Vincent AND VINCENT FIRES A CHOP TO SOSA’S CHEST! That might not be the smartest thing to do against SOSA. Welcome to Showdown, Vincent.

Eve: Give the young Vincent credit for bringing the fight to SOSA in this match as SOSA is being lit up by those chops until he is leaning against the ropes–

Deadprez: HOLY CRAP! VINCENT WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS SOSA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! SOSA is down for the moment and now Vincent turns his attention to the deranged Effy McAvoy.

Gavin Kirkland: Normally I enjoy watching beautiful women compete on Showdown, but I don’t know about this one. She’s kinda scary. I’d still date her, but she looks like she needs to talk to somebody.

Deadprez: Of course you’d probably wanna volunteer. Be that as it may, Showdown has been neutralized for a moment and we are down to Voltage against Dynasty for the time being. Vincent tries to bring Effy back to her feet–

Eve: EFFY JUST RAKES VINCENT’S EYES LIKE HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! It’s been established that this woman is not playing with a full deck and moves like that further prove it.

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent is trying to claw the sting out of his eyes as Effy grabs him by the hair and drags him to the turnbuckle BEFORE SMASHING HIS FACE IN THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Eve: Effy is making sure that Vincent gets well acquainted with the turnbuckle before shoving him back first against the corner AND NOW SHE IS THROWING SOME WICKED KICKS INTO THE RIBS OF VINCENT!

Deadprez: Ahren must have taught her how to throw those kicks or something as Effy grabs a handful of hair and snaps him over BEFORE KICKING VINCENT IN THE SPINE! 

Gavin Kirkland: Why isn’t the referee getting in the middle of this and threatening to disqualify that psycho hot beauty Effy? She had him in the corner for way too long.

Eve: Gavin, this match is held under sudden death rules. A pinfall or submission is the only way to win the match. I also found out that the General Managers of all three brands have made a ruling that the respective Brand Warfare teams must stay in the back during this match.

Deadprez: A rare occasion that all three heads of brands are able to agree on something. But be that as it may, it’s Effy McAvoy in control of this triple threat match–

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA just grabbed Effy by the ankle and is dragging her out of the ring. Effy tries to throw a right hand, BUT SOSA BLOCKED IT WITH HIS LEG AND COUNTERS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK ON THE OTHER SIDE!

Deadprez: Effy is dazed as SOSA grabs her and lifts her up in the air BEFORE JUST LETTING HER GO AND DROPPING HER FACE FIRST ON THE STEEL STEPS! DID YOU HEAR THAT SICKENING THUD?

Eve: Effy could have been knocked out with that drop as SOSA rolls back into the ring AND DELIVERS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK TO THE RECOVERING VINCENT MONDRIAN!

Gavin Kirkland: Show them how to take care of business, SOSA! This is SOSA’S HOUSE!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: Gavin showing his support for Showdown as SOSA brings Vincent back to his feet and lifts him in the air BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A BACK SUPLEX! VINCENT’S HEAD CRASHES HARD ON THE MAT AS SOSA CRADLES VINCENT AND BRIDGES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHH—

Deadprez: VINCENT KICKS OUT AT TWO AND SOSA IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO THE CROSSFACE! SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED AND SOSA IS REALLY WRENCHING BACK ON VINCENT!

Gavin Kirkland: The crossface is causing damage to Vincent’s head, neck, and back as SOSA keeps leaning him further back and putting a torque on his neck. If Vincent doesn’t think quick, he might have to submit– 

Eve: LOOK! VINCENT MANAGES TO ROLL OVER ENOUGH TO TAKE SOSA WITH HIM AND COUNTER THE CROSSFACE INTO A ROLLUP! SOSA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND VINCENT BRIDGES UP!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: SOSA GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO AND HE IS FORCED TO BREAK THE CROSSFACE IN ORDER TO STAY IN THE MATCH! Both competitors are getting back to their feet–

Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT JUST SLAPS SOSA IN THE FACE! What a disrespectful punk! Kick his ass SOSA!

Deadprez: That slap took SOSA off guard enough FOR VINCENT TO HIT A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND VINCENT IS JUST THROWING FISTS AGAINST SOSA’S SKULL BEFORE SOSA SHOVES HIM AWAY!

Eve: Vincent is certainly showing some intensity as he just grabs SOSA AND THROWS HIM DOWN WITH THE URANAGE! SOSA is trying to recover as Vincent hits the ropes AND CATCHES SOSA IN THE HEAD WITH THE KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT LOOK AT THE TURNBUCKLE! IT’S EFFY MCAVOY! THERE MUST BE A FULL MOON OR SOMETHING BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S BACK WITH A VENGEANCE–

Eve: EFFY COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A CROSSBODY AND TAKES VINCENT DOWN, BUT VINCENT IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH AND NOW HE HAS EFFY!

Deadprez: Vincent goes to slam Effy, BUT EFFY MANAGES TO KNEE VINCENT RIGHT IN THE FOREHEAD! Effy lands on her feet and kicks Vincent in the gut and forces him to double over.

Gavin Kirkland: Effy grabs Vincent by the head and just seems to almost roll back AS SHE TAKES VINCENT DOWN WITH A MODIFIED SNAP SUPLEX! Effy is quickly back to her feet AND SHE HITS VINCENT WITH A LEG DROP ACROSS HIS THROAT!

Eve: As we see Ahren Fournier at ringside, he looks impressed with Effy and what she has done so far in this match as Effy grabs Vincent by the head AND SHE IS BITING! SHE IS BITING VINCENT’S FOREHEAD!

Deadprez: What the hell is wrong with her? She’s a damn nut, but it is an effective offense with the sudden death rules of this match. She is causing more damage to Vincent–

Gavin Kirkland: HAHAHAHA! YES! HERE COMES SOSA HENDERSON SNEAKING UP AND LATCHING ONTO EFFY AND TAKING HER BACK INTO THE CRUCIFIX ROLLUP! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! 

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!

THHHHHHRRRRRRRRR—

Deadprez: EFFY KICKS OUT AT TWO AFTER SOSA TRIED TO STEAL THE MATCH RIGHT THERE! Effy rolls back and is back on her feet AND SOSA WAS RIGHT THERE AND CAUGHT HER IN THE JAW WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE

Eve: SOSA now with a double leg takedown as SOSA tries to get Effy turned over into the Sharpshooter submission. Effy doesn’t want that, especially after the landing she had on the steps earlier.

Gavin Kirkland: Unfortunately, we won’t get to see a SOSA Sharpshooter because HERE COMES VINCENT MONDRIAN WITH A FULL NELSON ON SOSA BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH A FULL NELSON BACKBREAKER!

Eve: SOSA is down for the moment, but not for long after Vincent picks him up and whips him to the corner. SOSA lands hard and Vincent comes in LOOKING FOR THE STINGER SPLASH–

Deadprez: SOSA CATCHES VINCENT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE OF HIS OWN THAT TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Now SOSA is looking to fly as he climbs up to the top turnbuckle–

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO! EFFY IS BACK ON HER FEET AND SHE CATCHES SOSA IN THE LEG! SOSA loses his balance AND HAS AN UGLY LANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Eve: Now Effy sees an opportunity to capitalize here as she climbs onto the second rope and has a facelock applied on SOSA. IS SHE SERIOUSLY TRYING TO SUPERPLEX SOSA? OH COME ON!

Deadprez: Effy might have a hard time accomplishing this feat as SOSA is about 70 pounds more than her, but she is trying her hardest AS VINCENT ALSO QUICKLY GETS ON THE SECOND ROPE AND CATCHES SOSA WITH A MODIFIED ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Gavin Kirkland: That kick caught poor SOSA right in the side of the head and that knocks him a little bit loopy. Vincent is on the mat now and he grabs hold of Effy… OH THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD!

Deadprez: VINCENT STARTS TO PULL EFFY OFF OF THE ROPES AND SHE IS SOMEHOW BRINGING SOSA ALONG WITH HER AND EVERYBODY NOW CRASHES ONTO THE MAT!

Eve: THE INFAMOUS TOWER OF DOOM AND I THINK SOSA GOT THE WORST OF IT AND NOBODY IS MOVING AT THE MOMENT! WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN THUS FAR!

Gavin Kirkland: The referee is there checking on all the competitors at the moment. If everybody is dead, does that mean the match is over? Because SOSA NEEDS TO WIN!

Eve: I think that is up to the referee on that. I mean if they are all out, then the ref can rule a no contest, but we might not have to worry about that because Vincent is moving and she is crawling over to SOSA and going for the cover!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEE—

Deadprez: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO! Now Vincent takes a chance and crawls over to Effy and hooks her leg for a cover!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHH–

Gavin Kirkland: EFFY KICKS OUT!  I could have told you that wasn’t going to work because he wasted too much time crawling to get the cover on SOSA! Vincent is picking Effy back on her feet and he whips her to the ropes–

Eve: WHAT THE? SOSA JUST POPPED BACK ON HIS FEET LIKE IT WAS NOTHING AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE OF EFFY BUT EFFY DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY!

Deadprez: SOSA doesn’t care as he keeps on going AND ENDS UP CLOBBERING VINCENT WITH THE CLOTHESLINE! Effy comes running back AND SOSA TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS!

Gavin Kirkland: Effy is quickly back to her feet as SOSA grabs her AND FLIPS BACK FOR THE SPANISH FLY THAT DRIVES EFFY INTO THE MAT! Now Vincent is back on his feet, BUT SOSA PULLS HIM IN–

Deadprez: BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE AIR AND DELIVERING A LUMBAR CHECK! Both of SOSA’s knees are driven into Vincent’s spine. Vincent is trying to roll to the ropes to catch a breather, BUT SOSA DELIVERS A BASEBALL SIDE DROPKICK THAT SENDS VINCENT OUT OF THE RING! 

Eve: That leaves SOSA in the ring with Effy and she is just now starting to move after the Spanish Fly as SOSA grabs her by the neck and brings her back to her feet!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is going to show this crazy beauty how good the wrestlers on Showdown truly are. SOSA showing his power as he has Effy in the facelock AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR!

Eve: SOSA doesn’t look like he is going to drop her anytime soon as he lets the blood rush to her head. Knowing this crazy person, she might actually like hanging upside down like that. 

Deadprez: Effy is still up there and now the crowd has started the count UNTIL EFFY HAS STARTED KICKING HER LEGS TO TRY AND CHANGE MOMENTUM IN HER FAVOR!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is trying to keep Effy in that position so he can complete the Delayed Vertical Suplex, but the kicking is too much AND EFFY SNAPS BACK AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT!! NOOOOOOOO!

Eve: SOSA was spiked on his head off the DDT and Effy’s gaze is solely focused on the former World Champion. Seeing those eyes almost guarantees that she has a damn screw loose.

Deadprez: SOSA has rolled onto his knees trying to recover from the DDT and LOOK AT THOSE CRAZED MOTIONS FROM EFFY! I THINK WE NEED TO CALL AN EXORCIST!

Gavin Kirkland: AND EFFY RUNS IN AND GRABS SOSA BY THE HEAD AND DROPS HIM WITH THE RUNNING SWINGING NECKBREAKER! “GOAT TROT” BY EFFY MCAVOY! SOSA SPIKED ON THE MAT AGAIN!

Deadprez: Ahren is looking on approvingly as Effy crawls back to SOSA and executes a very interesting pin cover. This is getting creepy! Shoulders are down!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!

Eve: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO AND EFFY LETS OUT A SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION! GOOD GAWD! MY EARS COULD BE BLEEDING! 

Gavin Kirkland: That poor referee is being a brave fool by telling Effy that it was still a two count and NOW SHE’S GETTING IN THE REFEREE’S FACE! Welp, it looks like we are going to need a new referee for Showdown. 

Eve: She’s letting her anger take her focus out of this match and she is giving her opponents way too much time to recover and Ahren is telling her to turn around–

Deadprez: SPEAR! SOSA GOT THE SPEAR AND EFFY LOOKED TO HAVE BEEN TORN RIGHT IN HALF THANKS TO SOSA! EFFY IS DOWN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND SOSA QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT MONDRIAN FROM OUT OF NOWHERE GETS BACK IN THE RING AND BREAKS UP THE COVER BY CLOBBERING SOSA IN THE BACK OF THE NECK!

Eve: We can see Ahren almost let out a sigh of relief that this match is still going on as Vincent now has hold of SOSA and whips him to the corner. SOSA hits the turnbuckles AND VINCENT RUNS IN WITH A CLOTHES LINE TAKING SOSA DOWN IN THE CORNER!

Deadprez: SOSA  is sitting in the corner and that’s exactly where Vincent wants him. Vincent backs up to the opposite corner BEFORE HE RUNS FULL SPEED BACK TO SOSA–

Gavin Kirkland: AND VINCENT HITS A RUNNING DROPKICK THAT CATCHES POOR SOSA RIGHT IN THE FACE! VINCENT CALLS THAT “THE FLYING DUTCHMAN” AND IT WAS A DIRECT HIT!

Deadprez: A FEW OF SOSA’S TEETH COULD HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF HIS MOUTH AFTER THAT SHOT AS VINCENT DRAGS SOSA OUT OF THE CORNER AND HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!

Eve: EFFY COMES IN AND TRIES TO BREAK UP THE COVER, BUT DID SHE MAKE IT IN TIME? I THINK SHE DID! THE REFEREE IS TELLING VINCENT THAT IT’S ONLY A TWO COUNT!

Gavin Kirkland: HOLY CRAP! My heart just skipped a beat right there. I thought SOSA was done there, but he wasn’t and this match continues. Thank the gawds for the Psycho Zombie Hot Beauty.

Eve: Alright then. Vincent is in shock that he didn’t have the match there, BUT HERE COMES EFFY WITH A STIFF PUNCH TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! GOOD GRIEF!

Deadprez: Effy has a handfuls of Vincent’s hair to try and bring him back to his feet before she kicks him and doubles him over. Effy has hold of Vincent neck AND SHE STARTS DELIVERING KNEES TO THE RIBS!

Gavin Kirkland: One after the other as she is trying to possibly break Vincent’s ribs with those shots until she has him down in the powerbomb position. She’s beautiful and strong, but she’s nuts right now.

Eve: She has hooked Vincent’s arms AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT EFFY IS GOING TO POWERBOMB VINCENT! THERE’S 80 POUNDS OF WEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO!

Deadprez: She is trying, but Vincent is easily blocking it. She tries a second time, BUT VINCENT INSTEAD COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP–

Gavin Kirkland: EFFY LANDS ON HER FEET AND SHE STILL HAS HOLD OF ONE OF VINCENT’S ARMS! SHE PULLS VINCENT IN AND JUMPS IN THE AIR–

Deadprez: TO CATCH VINCENT IN THE JAW WITH THAT RIPCORD KNEE! EFFY JUST HIT “THE CLIMAX”! RIGHT ON THE BUTTON AS VINCENT FALLS LIKE A STONE TO THE MAT! 

VINCENT COULD BE OUT RIGHT HERE AS EFFY GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!

Eve: HERE COMES SOSA HENDERSON TO BREAK UP THE COUNT BEFORE THREE! THAT WAS A CLOSE NEAR FALL FOR EFFY AND SHE IS SCREAMING ONCE AGAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: Ahren needs to tell her to calm it on the screaming or all of our ears are going to start bleeding. Beauty can be such a pain sometimes.

Eve: Effy and SOSA are back on their feet and they are just glaring daggers into each other AS EFFY HAULS OFF AND TRIES TO SLAP SOSA IN THE FACE–

Deadprez: SOSA CAUGHT EFFY’S ARM! Now SOSA whips Effy to the ropes. Effy with the rebound and SHE TRIES TO COUNTER WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER–

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA KEEPS HIS BALANCE AND MANAGES TO GET HIS HEAD FREE! Now he has hold of Effy’s legs as he holds her up in the air BEFORE DROPPING HER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THE JML DRIVER!

Eve: Effy is down and she could be out right now after landing on her head! SOSA pulls Effy to the center of the ring as he goes for the cover—

Deadprez: VINCENT COMES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND GRABS SOSA FROM BEHIND! VINCENT WITH A SCHOOLBOY TAKES SOSA OVER AND VINCENT IS GOING TO STEAL IT HERE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO! OH THAT WAS SO CLOSE! THERE YOU GO SOSA! DON’T LET THEM STEAL THE MATCH AWAY FROM YOU!

Deadprez: SOSA rolls back onto his feet and he manages to beat Vincent back to his feet! SOSA goes to grab Vincent, BUT VINCENT COUNTERS WITH A JAWBREAKER THAT STAGGERS SOSA BACK!

Eve: Vincent hits the ropes before coming back and HITTING SOSA WITH A LARIAT THAT COULD HAVE TAKEN HIS HEAD OFF! SOSA is down and Vincent picks him and sets his feet on the second rope.

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent has SOSA by the head BEFORE HE SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH THE DDT! SOSA was dropped right on the top of his own head and that DDT could have knocked him out cold.

Eve: Vincent is still on his knees AND HERE COMES EFFY MCAVOY AS SHE CATCHES VINCENT WITH A RUNNING KNEE!

Deadprez: Effy then grabs Vincent by the head AND SNAPS HIM DOWN WITH THE NECKBREAKER! Vincent is down AND EFFY STARTS PUNCHING VINCENT IN THE FACE! 

Eve: This woman is very scary as she grabs Vincent by the hair to bring him back to his feet before she grabs him around the waist–

Deadprez: OH, MY GAWD! EFFY MCAVOY WITH THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS AWESOME, NOT GONNA LIE!

Gavin Kirkland: The only bad thing about her is that she is on Voltage and not Showdown!

Deadprez: Sorry to break your heart, Gavin. But Effy is eyeing Vincent and she is getting ready to hopefully finish this match as she is calling for Vincent to get back to his feet!

Eve: Effy is once again screaming like a banshee as Vincent is slowly rising back on his feet–

Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES EFFY RUNNING FULL SPEED TOWARDS VINCENT! EFFY IS LOOKING FOR THE “PROTECT YA NECK”! CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL ON THE WAY AS VINCENT FULLY GETS BACK ON HIS FEET–

Eve: VINCENT DUCKS DOWN AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! VINCENT PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND EFFY GOES TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE CRASHES TO THE FLOOR!

Deadprez: Smart move by Vincent as he manages to take one of his opposition out of the equation and help his chances of victory.

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, but there’s one small problem! VINCENT HAS NO IDEA THAT SOSA IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! SOSA IS UP AS VINCENT TURNS AROUND AND SOSA GRABS HIM AND PLANTS HIM! STEAL! YO! BITCH

Eve: HE GOT THE CUTTER! OH MY GAWD THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND VINCENT WAS JUST SPIKED ON HIS FACE AND HE LOOKS TO BE OUT COLD AS SOSA QUICKLY ROLLS HIM OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Faneta” starts playing again as SOSA rolls off of Vincent. SOSA stays sitting for a moment to catch his breath as Gina Romano begins to announce the final decision of the match.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…SOSA HENDERSON!

Deadprez: What an amazing triple threat match between competitors of all three brands. They all brought it, dawg!

Eve: They certainly did and I am happy to say that it was the home team in SOSA Henderson as he brought the victory home for Showdown. That is not taking anything away from Effy and Vincent! They put up a hell of a fight 

Gavin Kirkland: HAHAHAHA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU? I TOLD YOU THAT SOSA WAS GONNA WIN AND HE DID! WHOSE HOUSE? SOSA’S HOU–

(Gavin doesn’t get a chance to finish his sentence as the rest of team Dynasty have entered the arena and are sliding in the ring.)

Eve: What the hell is this? It’s the rest of Team Dynasty getting in the ring.

Deadprez: Cy Henderson, Chris Elite, Shinzo Sasaki, and Drake Armstrong are here to watch out for their fellow teammate Vincent Mondrian. They aren’t going on the attack and that might be the best thing to do for them, but who knows what is going to happen with all these combustible elements.

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah yeah. Team solidarity and all that stuff.

(As soon as Team Dynasty enters the ring, we see team Voltage coming down the ramp and sliding into the ring to help even the odds for their teammate.)

Gavin Kirkland: Well, we shouldn’t be surprised that if one Brand Warfare team is here, the rest will begin to follow as here comes the Voltage team. BUT LIMOMMY AND ADAM ARE HERE!!! YAY!!

Eve: Which side are you on? But Limmy Monaghan, Ms. Extreme, Akari Kiyoko, and Adam Lucas are now in the ring and if it was anything like last week on Showdown AND Voltage, things are going to break down very quickly.

Deadprez: On Showdown last week, The Brand Warfare team won a six person tag but were then blindsided by the Voltage team, who took out ALL of the Showdown Team and they were PISSED!

(As the stare down between Team Voltage and Team Dynasty begins to heat up, the crowd starts to cheer as the rest of Team Showdown runs down the entrance ramp.)

Eve: Here comes the home team! The rest of Team Showdown are heading to the ring to make sure that the numbers stay even and to watch out for SOSA Henderson.

Deadprez: The combination of Charlie Marr, Donovan Duke, Cody Maverick, and Jon Kelton might not look good on paper, but they have proven that they can work together, and they could somehow pull it off. 

Gavin Kirkland: Team Showdown did return the favor on Voltage last week when they snuck in and My loyalty lies with Showdown, but it’s LIMOMMY AND ADAM WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THIS SUCKS!! But I am surprised that everybody is controlling their temper, and a brawl hasn’t broken out.

(All three teams are looking at each other and have taken their neutral sides of the ring as security is coming out in droves to prevent another fight from happening.)

Deadprez: Looks like it isn’t going to happen as the security have made their way out to the ring and they are preemptively stopping these three teams from just beating the hell out of each other.

Gavin Kirkland: Why in the hell does security have to come out here right now? Nothing has happened yet. There is no need for all of them to ruin all the fun. If they fight, let them fight.

Eve: I think the crowd is agreeing with you, Gavin. They booed the appearance of security and now they are chanting for security to “LET THEM FIGHT”!

Deadprez: This is like a standoff at the OK Corral or something. Three tough teams in the highly anticipated Brand Warfare match at Territorial Invasion. Three tough teams and only one will reign supreme. This match is going to be a fight to say the very least.

(The final shot shows all three teams all still glaring at each other as security continues to hold them back before anything can happen. The tension is running high between the Brand Warfare teams as the camera cuts to the last commercial break..)

(As Showdown returns from the last commercial break, “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts to play throughout the arena as the fans start to cheer, they are proud of the Showdown Team. Veena Adams walks out, followed by Milli Banks and Bronson Daniels, they make it out to the ring as they have mics. They seem to be all on the same page which is a great sign for Showdown as many say this is the strongest team the Blue brand has had in a very long time.)

Crowd: SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN!

Deadprez: Here is Team Showdown and they have been in some wars already the last few weeks, but talk about unity, Veena Adams has proven herself to be a leader and willing to sacrifice herself for the team.

Eve: I total agree, and with Milli and Bronson be great teammates, I really am positive about this team!

Gavin Kirkland: Who thought that Veena was not going to be a great Team Captain. I always had all the confidence in her!

(As the theme dies down, Veena Adams, Bronson Daniels, and Milli Banks stand in the ring as Veena speaks.)

Veena Adams: We know that everyone has already started talking about this and that heading into Territorial Invasion and all I hear is the same thing over and over again, which is that I am not fit to be the Team Captain. That it should be Milli or Bronson, and that’s fine, and nothing against my teammates, but they understand that I bleed blue here on Showdown even if Kennedy Street and I don’t always see eye to eye. But when you think leadership issues, it is none other than Jake Smith and Voltage, what a joke.

(Veena starts to laugh, Milli smirks as Bronson just shakes his head, as he was once a tag team with Jake Smith.)

Veena Adams: Voltage is a mess, and then when it comes to New Eden, they want to talk all tough and pretend that we are not worthy of stepping in the ring with them, yeah whatever. The truth is, New Eden is a powder keg, ready to explode, but the three of us? We totally understand each other. We know our roles in all of this and that is to prove everyone wrong and win.

Milli Banks: And that is what’s most important, to win, at all costs against our former brands, and that is what really fuels us now more than anything. We know what New Eden means, even the dysfunctional Team Voltage, we get it too, But that doesn’t define us in any way, because we get what needs to happen and the only way we are going to win is by being a team and sticking together. We have all heard the criticisms, and even false claims, well guess what, we are about to prove them wrong!

(The crowd cheers as Bronson Daniels then speaks.)

Bronson Daniels: And that is what really puzzles me both, you know why? Because they are concerned. Doesn’t matter who it is, Team Voltage or Team Dynasty aka New Eden, the fact still remains, that we are all in this for our own personal reasons and for the brand. Something that many people seem to forget, especially when we have tried so hard to prove the point that we are ready too do whatever it takes to bring the win to Showdown. But let me tell you something right now, we are the most motivated team in this match, we want this more than anyone, including New Eden and…..

(Suddenly Bronson is cut off.)

???: Nice story bro.

(The crowd boos as they turn to see Jake Smith walk out from the back, though he is followed by Bea Valetine and Michael Machina with some distance.)

Jake Smith: FUCK YOU BRONSON DANIELS!

Bronson Daniels: You seem really unhinged, Jake. You need help and not from your teammates considering last night they hit you in the balls.

(Jake didn’t like the sound of that when he turns to look at his teammates, Bea just smiles and shrugs her shoulders, Machine smirks)

Jake Smith: THAT IS NOT FUNNY! BUT I DON’T NEED THEM TO WIN THE WAR GAMES MATCH ON MY OWN!

(Veena, Bronson and Milli all look at one another and start laughing.)

Jake Smith: WHAT IS SO FUNNY!!? FUCK IT…. GET THEM!

(Jake points to the ring and neither Michael Machina or Bea Valentine do anything as Jake slowly turns around.)

Jake Smith: I SAID GET THEM!

(But his teammates haven’t moves a muscle as the crowd laughs, Jake is really irritated as he screams when the crowd starts to scream and suddenly….)

Deadprez: NEW EDEN JUST SLIPPED IN THROUGH THE CROWD AND SLID INTO THE RING! MILLI BANKS TURNS AROUND…. MINERVA HOISTS HER UP…. THE PRINCESS KILLER! SHE JUST TOMBSTONED MILLI BANKS AS DRAKE KING COMES IN WITH A HUGE BOOT ON VEENA ADAMS! MYLES HITS A SICK RUNNING KNEE AND TAKES BRONSON DANIELS OUT!

Eve: AND HERE COMES VOLTAGE! JAKE SMITH RUNS TO SLIDE IN WITH MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE….. BUT JAKE STOPS AND DOESN’T SLIDE IN, BEA TAKES DOWN MINERVA AND THEY START BRAWLING, MACHINA DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES MYLES AND DRAKE KING! HE STANDS TALL FOR A MOMENT BUT AS MYLES AND DRAKE GET RIGHT BACK UP HE GOES FOR IT AGAINT BUT THIS TIME DRAKE AND MYLES GO HIGH AND LOW WITH A LEG CLIP AND RUNNING KNEE!

Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH NOW GETS TO THE SIDE OF THE RING AND HE PULLS MINERVA OFF BEA VALENTINE, THROWING HER BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRIER! BUT HE IUST GRABBED BY MYLES BY THE HAIR AND LIFTED INTO THE RING, DEFACTO! JAKE SMITH IS TAKEN DOWN AND BEA IS GETTING UP ONLY TO GET HIT WITH JUDGMENT DAY ON BEA KNOCKING HER COLD!

(Myles and Drake King stand tall when suddenly….)

Eve: EFFECTIVE! VEENA ADAMS SPUN AROUND DRAKE KING AND HIT THE FRONT LUNG BLOWER TAKING DOWN DRAKE KING, MYLES TURNS AND MILLI BANKS RECOVERES AND NO FAKE BILLS AS MYLES IS HIT AND FLIES OUT OF THE RING WHILE BRONSON RUNS AND SUICIDE DIVE ON MINERVA ON THE OUTSIDE JUST AS SHE RECOVERED AND HIUTS THE BARRIER AGAIN!

(The crowd erupts in cheers)

Deadprez: AND TEAM SHOWDOWN STANDS TALL! MYLES IS GRABBING DRAKE KING AND DRAGGING HIM OUT OF THE RING AS NEW EDEN ON THE OUTSIDE REGROUP. MICHAEL MACHINA IS CARRYING BEA VALENTINE AS JAKE SMITH IS SCREMING HALFWAY UP THE RAMP WITHOUT HIS TEAM!

(Myles and Drake try to rush the ring but Minerva holds them back whispering something in their ear almost calming them down as they backtrack while Veena invites them into the ring, Milli standing on the second rope yelling at them to get back in and Bronson Daniels is on the other side pointing at Team Voltage,)

Deadprez: WE ARE OUT OF TIME, BUT TEAM SHOWDOWN DEFENDS THEIR TURF HERE TONIGHT AND STANDS TALL! WE WILL SEE YOU AT TERRITORIAL INVASION! GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!

(The final shot is Team Showdown standing tall in the ring while Team Voltage has almost all but disappeared in the back, and New Eden are backing off into the crowd as we head to Territorial Invasion.)
