John Helms
[SCREENBAR – Last week, after Voltage.)
(The camera opens up to the EAW parking lot, where all three members of New Eden can be seen leaving the Liacouras Center following their first Voltage in charge of the show. It looks like the three are in the middle of a conversation, and while Drake still looks happy and pleased following the show, as Myles and Minerva look towards one another they don’t share the same look of joy.)
Minerva: Drake, trust me, I understand why you’d want to get rid of the Extreme Elimination Chamber. I understand that nobody on Voltage needs to be getting a shot at the EAW Championship, and that we could probably go without matches like this in the future.. But we’re just saying that you should at least give this a bit more thought.
Drake King: What’s there to think about? We don’t need the Extreme Elimination Chamber, so why not just get rid of it while we have the power to do so?
Minerva: Because that might not be the way to do it. Ever since we first united we’ve taken these matches and moments away from people, and we did it by actually competing in those matches and winning. When our time in control of Voltage is done Captain Charisma is going to be in charge again, and I really don’t think he’ll be willing to just keep every single change we make. He’s going to do everything he can to reverse whatever changes we make as soon as possible, and that’ll probably mean reinstating the Chamber anyway, and stacking the odds against you. If you just go ahead and reinstate it now, we won’t have to worry about that, because we could choose who we want to put in that match and make sure none of them get what they want.
(Drake stops, and while doesn’t let Minerva’s concerns bother him too much, he clearly gives it some thought before beginning to speak.)
Drake King: Minerva, there’s no need to worry. We promised to make this the best show possible, and tonight we’ve proven that we’re well on our way to doing exactly that. Some people may disagree with our choices now, but it’s not like this company hasn’t adjusted to change in the past. By the time our month in charge of Voltage is done and Captain Charisma returns, everyone will have seen the bigger picture, and even Captain Charisma himself will agree that the Extreme Elimination Chamber is something that doesn’t need to take place. We’ve always been against these unforgiving, and unnecessary matches that are only being held just for a worthless Championship belt. Now we have the ability to free Voltage from those matches. We’re doing everything that we should be doing. This place deserves to become a real wrestling brand, and now they get to see what EAW is like without all of the nonsense that helped drag Voltage down all these years.
Myles: Wrestling was always supposed to be about some of the highest level athletes in the world getting inside of the ring and showing everyone what they’re capable of, but everyone in this place lost sight of that, and their passion for wrestling turned into an obsession with having Championships around their waists. That’s always been one of the worst parts about this company. We *did* join forces to get rid of all the greed surrounding this place, and I’ll admit, a lack of Championship matches like the Extreme Elimination Chamber should be pretty effective in getting rid of that greed.
Drake King: Right, thank you!
Myles: …But, what should happen isn’t what always does happen. We’ve been screwed over pretty frequently since February. Captain Charisma has done everything in his power to make sure we don’t even come close to getting what we want, and after everything he said right before he lost control of Voltage for the month, I find it a bit hard to believe that he’s going to come back a changed man. This is the same guy that tried to tear us apart on multiple occasions just because he was afraid that we’d reach our goal. The same man that made us put New Eden on the line, twice now.
(Drake is a bit surprised by Myles. He doesn’t understand the backlash behind the Extreme Elimination Chamber being cancelled, especially after all they’ve done to ruin big matches in the past.)
Drake King: Yeah… But that was before he had the opportunity to see what we could do with this place. He tried to stop us from getting what we wanted, but now we actually got it. Don’t you think we should be doing everything we can with the power we have to make this a better show?
(Myles on the other hand doesn’t look too happy with this conversation, and the Cash in the Vault briefcase holder just sighs before beginning to speak. He’s always wanted EAW to actually focus on pure competition, but even he understands where Minerva is coming from.)
Myles: I do. I’ve always loved the spirit of competition. I’ve always loved wrestling for what it is and not for the rewards and other meaningless prizes that come with it, and now we have the power to seriously change this show to fit our vision of what all of EAW should look like… But Minerva made a really good point. This could easily go south as soon as our month in charge of Voltage is over. There’s no way any of us could possibly know what Captain Charisma is thinking, and if he really does return to this place the exact same way he left, then the changes we make to this show could not only be reversed, but he could just go right back to making our lives that much more difficult. No matter what, we just need to be careful with what we do. Last week you decided to cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and I do think we should have talked about that. We should’ve gone over it a lot more before you went with that decision, because this is a lot more than just fining people for swearing. You cancelled one of the biggest matches of the year for Voltage, and while I understand why you did it just like Minerva understands, assuming that we’ll get away with decisions like this at the end of the month might not be the way to go about this.
Minerva: It’s not. It’s not the way to go about this, not when we’re talking about the same guy who wouldn’t have hesitated to fire the three of us just weeks ago. This is going to be a great month for us, but Drake, do you really believe that after this month, everyone’s just going to change their mind, including Captain Charisma who had all this time to change his?
Drake King: Yes I do, and I didn’t bother going over any of this because I thought that this was the obvious choice to make. If we’re putting on the best show possible week after week for this entire month, then there’s no way Captain Charisma would want to change anything by the time he returns. He’d finally see things the same way we’ve been seeing them the entire time, because we finally got the ability to share our vision with this company. I’m glad that I chose to cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Now everyone can spend their time actually doing something worthwhile at Road to Redemption instead of competing for the EAW Championship. I don’t understand how anyone could see this as a bad thing, this is exactly what we’ve been needing to do this whole time. Before, we had to compete in matches like this because there was no other way to get rid of them. Now we have another way, a way where we don’t have to worry about the match existing at all.
(Minerva just shakes her head, clearly not in agreement with Drake. She understands that Voltage is more than likely going to go back to normal once New Eden is out of power, and she doesn’t have a good feeling at all about Drake’s decision to cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
Minerva: I just don’t want things to have to blow up in our faces. We worked really hard to get control of Voltage in the first place, but you have to understand that it’s only one month. We can do a lot in a month, but that’s not enough time for us to change this brand as a whole *and* get everyone on board with it. You know what could happen, and what will happen if Captain Charisma isn’t as enthusiastic about our changes as you think he’ll be when he comes back. This month is our time, but we’ll already be out of power by the time Road to Redemption comes around. Can you reconsider all of this, or at least give this a bit more thought before going through with a decision like this?
Drake King: No my friend, this is the way it has to be.
(Drake continues walking, and while Drake still looks pretty happy with how Voltage is turning out under New Eden, all Minerva and Myles can do is look at one another, both with the same uncertain look on their faces. Neither of them seem to be fully on board with Drake’s idea, but in the end the two of them continue walking with Drake as the camera begins to fade to black.)
(EAW intro plays.)
(As per, Sunday Night Voltage opens up to show a recap of last week’s episode: Drake King opens the show welcoming everyone to New Eden’s Voltage, where he makes his next big announcement: effectively canceling the Voltage Extreme Elimination Chamber for Road To Redemption 2021. Ryan Wilson then angrily comes out, very unhappy that a match he was supposed to be in was canceled, where he threatens Drake and promises him that he’ll pay for what he’s done. The first match of the night is between Kelin and The Woogieman, where in the end it’s Kel that manages to pull out a successful victory. Jake Smith & Chris Elite then cut a promo in the ring regarding the Unified Tag Team Champions, Harlow Reichert & Xavier Williams; where they swear that they’re going to walk out, when it’s all said and done, as your new Unified Tag Team Champions. But before they can leave, Marybecca interrupts, challenging them to a match to prove they deserve to be the Unified Tag Team Champions, which Jake & Chris happily accept. Lucas Johnson has an interview where he talks about his Reasonable Doubt loss to Amir Yusuf, but before he can finish he’s interrupted by Jay Jerry Johnson, who calls out Amir and solidifies himself as next in line for the New Breed Championship. The next match of the night then consists of Mary S. Atlas and Alex Myers, where in the end, Alex is the one that manages to come out with the victory. Miku Sakai then gloats about her Specialists Championship reign in the ring, before talking about who won the Number One Contendership match for her title at Reasonable Doubt, Harper Lee. Harper comes out from there, Both of them have a back and forth where Harper states that she is going to capture her first singles Championship, and while they look to come to blows, Miku just kisses Harper and leaves the ring, leaving Harper in shock. Jay Jerry Johnson and Justin Windgate then have a match next, where Justin manages to come out with his hand raised high in the end. Myles & Minerva then have a conversation, where they share their doubts about canceling the Extreme Elimination Chamber. They end up agreeing to sit and talk with Drake to make sure everything is out in the open to conclude. Holly Arrow and Ryan Wilson are then seen next, where Holly barely manages to come out with a victory thanks to a roll-up to the absolute disbelief of Ryan in response. Danny Tanner and Candice Blair are then seen reading tweets directed towards them in support, while Candice also tries to cheer Danny up after Wicked Games. It isn’t long after that Alex Myers interrupts them, soaking in their victory and insulting Danny saying that he can’t fight for himself. Before he can leave, Danny snaps and throws him against the wall, showing a significant act of bravery to the pleasantly surprised Candice. Jake Smith then is forced to fight in a handicap match against all three members of New Eden. Jake puts up a good fight, but even through some New Eden tension along the way, the three inevitably reign supreme in the end. To cap the show off, Ms. Extreme comes out to talk about what happened at Wicked Games and looking forward to Road To Redemption. But then she’s interrupted by Donovan Duke, who has unfinished business with her, where they both make a match official for next week to end the recap.)
(’33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to the loud and mixed reaction of the EAW Universe in attendance. They still have no idea how to feel thanks to New Eden being in charge of the show, even with the pyro shooting out from the stage. From there, it then goes to the commentary desk of Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen, we are, dare I say unfortunately, back with another episode… of New Eden’s Sunday Night Voltage.
James Peters: :francis: Well you didn’t need to say New Eden’s, but yes we are back. And I’d like to look on the bright side knowing that we have a jam-packed card this week. In our main event we have a match confirmed on last week’s episode, with Donovan Duke seeking revenge for Wicked Games against none other than the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme. And we also can’t forget a match that was also confirmed prior, and that is The Haircare Kings going up against the team of Marybecca, two of Voltage’s best tag teams in action tonight!
(Both Rich and James look over to Persephone who has duct tape over her mouth. Persephone groans behind a muffled sound before ripping it off.)
Persephone: I’m not losing any money today! Those freaking idiots think they can empty my pockets for their own personal gain?! NOT TODAY! I’M PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS! THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT, NEW EDEN WILL NEVER WIN AGAINST PERSEPHONE!
James Peters: :francis: Anyways, let’s get on with the show.
(As Voltage fades to the stage for the first time tonight, ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits. As expected, the crowd begins booing as loud as they can, but as Myles begins to walk out to the stage, it’s immediately clear that he couldn’t care less about the reaction he gets from the crowd. Myles has a microphone in his hand, and as the crowd continues to boo loudly against one of the three people in control of Voltage for the month, Myles makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
James Peters: After what happened last week, I don’t think I want to know what Myles has to say right now.
Rich Russillo: Voltage has already had some… Questionable changes ever since New Eden’s come into power, and it looks like this week it’s Myles’ turn in charge. I don’t know what he has planned or what he wants to say, but hopefully it’s something good.
Persephone: We’re talking about New Eden here. When have they ever said anything good?
(Myles enters the ring, and he waits for a second for the boos from the crowd to quiet down.)
Myles: One of the biggest issues with this company is the fact that we’re not allowed to go out there and wrestle. This company does a lot of things wrong, and in my eyes this is one of the worst failures possible for this place. How can you call this company Elite Answers Wrestling when not a single person in the back is actually passionate about wrestling? We’re not allowed to focus on what goes on inside of the ring, because everyone’s attention is on things like Championships, things like unnecessary interferences, and a bunch of nonsense that doesn’t need to happen. The best thing about the wrestling industry is something that most people here stopped caring about. The actual wrestling. That’s what I want showcased tonight. That’s what I plan to see go down tonight. Tonight is going to be about pure competition. No Championship matches, no interferences, no fuckery-
(Myles immediately stops himself after realizing what he says, and he just sighs before continuing.)
Myles: I know, I know. I’ll fine myself later. Anyways, tonight is going to be about wrestling. It’ll be about competitors stepping inside of the ring and showing everyone what they’re capable of. I truly believe that this company is at its best when we’re allowed to actually do our jobs the right way without caring about a bunch of Championship opportunities or everything else that’s constantly shoved in our faces, and tonight is just going to prove that. Hopefully the same will be said for Voltage’s Road to Redemption card, because that show is coming up real soon, and I want our side of the show to reflect what wrestling always should’ve been. I want our side of the card to show the rest of the company how it’s done. I want Voltage’s side of the card to show everyone that this is what EAW needs to be like going forward, and while I don’t know what Captain Charisma might do once he comes back, I can at least make sure that my own match helps showcase EAW at its best.
(The crowd quiets down a bit more, not too sure what Myles is saying.)
Myles: I want a fight at Road to Redemption. If I’m going to help Voltage showcase pure competition then it’s only right that I continue showcasing it myself at one of the biggest events of the year, and there’s no better way for me to do that than by facing whoever wants to step up. I don’t care who it is. All I want is a challenge.
(Myles waits patiently for a response, and the crowd explodes as ‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli hits. Even Myles looks a bit surprised as Cameron Ella Ava walks out with a microphone in her hand, and the crowd cheers for the Hall of Famer as she begins making her way down to the ring.)
James Peters: WHAT!? Is Cameron Ella Ava answering Myles’ open challenge!?
Rich Russillo: That’s huge if she is! Just imagine, Myles versus Cameron Ella Ava at Road to Redemption! That sounds fantastic, and I genuinely want to see this!
Persephone: 🙄 Here we go. Why is she even around still?
(Cameron Ella Ava enters the ring, and while she takes in all the loud cheers from the crowd, she actually doesn’t look too happy as she turns towards Myles.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I think everyone in attendance tonight knows that if there’s anyone capable of putting on a great match no matter who they’re up against, it’s me. Even when my opponents lack that passion and don’t even care to really show up, I still manage to go out there and put on a great match. That takes talent, and it’s a talent I’ve possessed for years now. I made a name for myself by proving to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. I’ve built a legacy that not many can compare to, and now I’m only continuing to add to it. I’m still showing up and showing out at every single event I compete at, but that’s not why I’m out here.
(Myles remains silent as Cameron Ella Ava continues.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I don’t know if you and your little group just happened to forget while you were busy trying to take control of Voltage, but because of you three, Jamie O’Hara’s going to be out of action for a long time. Because of you three we’re not sure if Jamie will ever wrestle again. We’re talking about Jamie O’Hara here. A Hall of Famer, one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and if he was still here he’d be dominating this brand just like I’ve been doing over on Showdown, but instead of being able to compete and prove that he’s the best this brand has, he’s recovering from an attack you three only delivered because you failed. He’s recovering from an attack that only happened because at Territorial Invasion, you guys couldn’t keep your own promise. You guys spent weeks saying that you had to take control of this show. Your month in charge of this place should’ve passed a long time ago because you should’ve won the first time, and you didn’t. You failed. You lost and you took it out on Jamie O’Hara. Jamie’s blood is on your hands, so now I want the chance to get some of your blood on mine.
(The crowd cheers loudly, and Myles finally begins to speak again.)
Myles: Cameron, you’re not going to make me feel bad for doing what we did to Jamie. Jamie had it coming whether you want to admit it or not, but if you want to get your hands dirty then I’ll give you that opportunity. I’ll take whatever I can get. I already made it clear that I came out here because I wanted a fight, and if you’re going to be that fight, then that is perfectly fine with me. I hope you understand this though. If you’re going to walk into Road to Redemption looking to stick up for Jamie and get revenge, then don’t be surprised when you’re walking out of the match disappointed. Jamie deserved what he got. He shouldn’t have come back in the first place but YOU let him. All of you did. He nearly had his arm torn out of his body at Pain for Pride and you guys allowed him to keep going. You guys allowed him to walk into Voltage with the same mindset I talked about when I came out here tonight. You guys allowed him to continue disrespecting this place, if not the wrestling industry as a whole, and now he can’t do that.
Cameron Ella Ava: So that’s your excuse for putting Jamie on the shelf? Look, I don’t care about New Eden the same way other people do, and I made that clear tons of times. I never looked at you any differently than I looked at all the other pathetic stables in the past, because that’s all you guys are. This is all pathetic, but you crossed the line when you attacked Jamie, and I don’t really care what the reasoning for it is. You had the chance to face Jamie on your own without having to attack him in a parking lot. You had the chance to deal with Jamie back at Bloodsport, and I think we both remember how that went. You got to “go out there and wrestle” for over thirty minutes. You went into a draw and had to go into overtime with Jamie. You got what you wanted.. And lost. You weren’t the better competitor against Jamie, and at Road to Redemption you still won’t be. You’re going to regret doing what you did to Jamie one way or another, and if that means accepting this little open challenge and putting you down myself, then so be it.
(Once again the crowd cheers loudly, but this time it’s because they’re excited for the possibility of a match between Myles and Cameron Ella Ava at Road to Redemption.)
Myles: Alright, then. If this is what you want, then that’s fine. I hope you feel the same way by Road to Redemption, because I’m not kidding when I say that I want a challenge. I want a real fight, and if you’re the Hall of Famer that can put a classic on with anyone, then you should have no problem bringing that fight. I expect to see you at your best. I expect to see you fight like you actually care, not just about this match, but about Jamie O’Hara. You want your match against me at Road to Redemption? Consider it done.
(The crowd continues to cheer loudly, all while ‘ULTRAnumb’ begins to play once again. Cameron Ella Ava and Myles don’t take their eyes off of one another, as there’s some clear hatred between the two thanks to their past.)
James Peters: This should be good. Myles and Cameron have tons of history, even dating back to before Myles’ first absence from the company way back in 2019! Myles and Cameron are both incredible competitors, but something tells me that this match is going to be pretty personal.
Rich Russillo: Come on, “something” tells you? I don’t think there’s another word to describe this matchup but personal. Not only do they have history with one another, but Cameron Ella Ava seems to have found her opportunity to get back at New Eden for what they did to Jamie. I can’t blame Cameron for wanting revenge, but this will definitely be a super competitive match.
Persephone: I hate that she had to show up. The Voltage roster already sucks. We don’t need matches with Showdown people to make things even worse. The only way this could possibly end well is if Cameron squashes Myles in seconds. Not because of Jamie, but because Myles helped make Voltage even worse than before.
James Peters: I hate having New Eden in charge of Voltage, but I have to admit, a match like this is one you can’t miss. This is going to be a great match at Road to Redemption.
(As Myles and Cameron continue to stand face to face while the crowd cheers for the confirmed matchup at Road to Redemption, Voltage begins to fade out to the first commercial break of the night.)
(Commercial promoting water. Not for any specific reason, just please drink water.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton can be seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is Tag Team match scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘If Ya Smell’ by Adam Massare plays over the sound system of the arena as The Woogieman is making his way to the ring. ‘Best Damn Thing’ by Avril Lavigne follows, and McCall Everett joins the Woogieman, clearly very excited to be making her EAW debut.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! At A Combined Weight Of! THE WOOGIEMAN and making her EAW Debut: McCAAAAAAAAALL EVEREEEETT!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes the Woog who is always in for a battle and by his side, riding her skateboard is our latest addition! Ladies and Gentlemen introduce McCall Everett!
Rich Russillo: Young Everett showed us on a promo that she isn’t afraid of the competition and is ready to bring it all out inside the ring! Let’s see if that energy translates into a win tonight on her EAW and Voltage Debut!
Persephone: Ew. This is the last thing we need right now. Newbies 🤢.
( ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Sarecena plays over the sound system as Kirk Redwood steps through the curtain first and is making his way to the ring. Kirk Redwood shows his fists to the camera which have the names of his opponents written on them. Then he laughs and walks to the ring ready to fight, all while his theme is replaced with ‘Forever’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem. Kelin begins to follow behind, and he looks just as prepared for this match as everyone else, clearly ready to pick up another victory.)
Bella Braxton: ANNND THEIR OPPONENTS! At A Combined Weight Of 428 pounds; The Team Of KELIN AND KIIIIIIRK REWOOOOOOOOOD!!!
James Peters: Kirk has the names of McCall and Woogieman on his fists! This doesn’t bode well for them.
Rich Russillo: With his current frame of mind, with what happened to his family, I feel like it doesn’t bode well for anyone.
Persephone: I’m starting to respect a man who actually wants to bloody everyone he faces!
James Peters: …
Rich Russillo: …
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: Err-and Here We GO! This match is officially underway! First inside the ring for this tag team bout is Kirk Redwood on one side with The Woogieman on the other as he is standing in the center of the ring looking at his opponent who doesn’t seem intimidated at all. Redwood walks up to Woogie, a staring contest begins between both men! Kirk is throwing flak verbally at the People’s champion who has heard worse apparently and he dares yawn at Redwood’s words! KIRK JUST SLAPPED HIM! A BITCH SLAP BY REDWOOD!!!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Woog’s head turns but slowly goes back to facing Redwood deadlocked in the eyes. Kirk throws forward a punch BUT WOOGIEMAN DODGES FORWARD GRABBING HOLD OF HIS OPPONENT AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! THE CROWD LOVES IT!
Rich Russillo: Redwood is getting up quickly but is taken back down with a stiff clothesline from The Woog! Then a second one! And a third much to the pleasure of the crowd! He then picks up Kirk and drops him down with a body slam! Woogieman is in control early in the match! Kirk moves towards his corner and a disappointed Kelin takes the tag dismissing his partner for the night while Woogieman is looking at him and then at McCall who is bouncing in the corner she wants that tag!
The Woogieman: (off-mic) You Want To See Her In??
Crowd: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
TAG!!!
James Peters: And The Tag Is Made!! In Comes McCall Everett and she quickly runs to Kelin locking horns with him! She is showing fire and haste that seems to unsettle Kelin just enough for the young skater to switch to a headlock then whip him into the ropes! A clothesline on Kelin! He gets back up she greets him down with a hip toss! And then a snap mare takedown! Kelin is getting up and McCall, that little speedster is going to- wait she is running between the ropes then circles the corner post and goes back inside the ropes FOR A ROLLING FACEBUSTER!! COVER BY McCALL EVERETT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!!
James Peters: Kelin shoves McCall off of him!
Persephone: Too soon! Must be inexperience!
Rich Russillo: This doesn’t deter Everett who seems to have managed to surprise Kelin, I mean who expected her to pull that move around the corner post really? She goes to get her opponent to his feet but she gets clocked for it! Kick to the midsection followed by an elbow to the back of the head by Kelin who has taken the initiative! Irish whip by Kelin, Everett bounces and runs towards Kelin she then spins maneuvering herself INTO A WHEELBARROW STUNNER!! DOWN GOES KELIN! McCALL WITH YET ANOTHER COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Rich Russillo: A boot to the back of the head for her effort by Kirk who broke the pin! McCall drops to the floor AND WOOGIEMAN RUSHES IN TO ATTACK KIRK REDWOOD! BOTH MEN ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE BRAWLING IT OUT!
Persephone: The Woogieman, such gentlemen, it makes me sick!
James Peters: Kelin has an opportunity to score some offense now he has to make the most of it even if we are early in the match. Getting Everett up he has her reeling with a European Uppercut which he follows by a whip into the ropes AND HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH AN ENZIGURI!! But she is though she is getting up already before receiving the business end of a discus clothesline! Down goes McCall but she is getting back up once more! Kelin is behind her! Arms around the waist he takes her for a ride with a German suplex! He keeps the hold on her waist! She is trying to let go throwing in elbows to the side of his face but he holds on and throws himself backward again! German Suplex! He lets go of her as she is holding her back in pain! Kelin gets up, staring her down observing his handy work as Woog, now back to his corner, is wanting the tag to help his partner!
TAG!
Rich Russillo: Kirk is tagged in! He cracks his knuckles while Kelin is taking his place outside of the ring. McCall is on her knees now trying to shake the pain off the two German’s but gets a series of punches and elbows to the face by a merciless Redwood! He sets her up, she is reeling he goes to the ropes bouncing off them running in with a knee strike! Down goes Everett but not for long! Kirk lifts her up, whips into the nearest corner away from Woogieman who is yelling at McCall to do what she can! Kirk smirks, throwing some knife-edged chops her way BEFORE THROWING IN A STIFF FACE SLAP! This seems to snap McCall right out of her daze as she quickly reverses position with Kirk throwing body punches than his face and down again while yelling! Clearly, she doesn’t like being slapped like that!
Persephone: Beach Slap! Oh Christ, I’m talking like Ryan Wilson now! FU-
James Peters: Saving you 500 big ones right there Persephone by cutting you mid-sentence! Everett is on the offensive now with a dropkick pushing Redwood against the corner followed by a Tiger Feint Kick then an actual mud stomp in the corner much to the delight of the crowd! McCall is quickly becoming a fan favorite here tonight folks! McCall backs away about mid-ring before charging Redwood with a clothesline into the corner! She goes back to the center of the ring a little further even AND KELIN TAKES ADVANTAGE BY PULLING McCALL’S HAIR FORCING HER DOWN! WHAT A DIRTY MOVE BY KELIN!
Persephone: Maybe if little McCall was not messing around?
Rich Russillo: This is allowing for Kirk to actually throw an elbow to The Woogieman’s face as he was in enemy territory and then moves towards his own corner to go for a tag! In comes Kelin who stomps at McCall before whipping her into his corner! He throws a few elbows to the side of her face before tagging Kirk Redwood right back! He steps in, headbutts to McCall before looking at The Woogieman smirking, and PROCEEDS TO PARODY HIS WELL KNOWN SERIES OF PALM STRIKES ON McCALL FOLLOWING BY THE SPIT IN THE HAND AND THE LAST STRIKE ON THE NEWCOMER!! WOOGIEMAN IS IRATE BUT THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO!
Persephone: Does he? Really?
James Peters: McCall is down sitting against the turnbuckle as Kirk backs up and charges in he go for a shoulder tackle BUT McCALL GOT OUT OF THE WAY!! KIRK SMACKS THE POST WITH HIS SHOULDER AND EVERETT SCATTERS TO HER CORNER!! KELIN TAGS HIMSELF IN TRYING TO CATCH HER BEFORE SHE CAN REACH WOOG BUT HE’S NOT QUICK ENOUGH!! IN COMES THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPION! QUICK PALM STRIKES! QUICK STRIKES AND SOME MORE HE IS THROWING HIS FRUSTRATION AT KELIN WHO CAN ONLY TAKE WITHOUT FIGHTING BACK! Whip to the ropes by Woog! Kelin bounces AND GETS LIFTED INTO A SAMOAN DROP BY THE CREATOR OF THE BIG BHOOGIE BHAMPIONSHIP!!!! THE CROWD IS WILD!!!
Crowd: WOO-GIE! WOO-GIE! WOO-GIE! WOO-GIE! WOO-GIE! WOO-GIE!
Persephone: Idiots, all of them!
James Peters: I don’t think they care about your opinion of them Perse. The Woogieman is a man of the People and he gives them what they want which is a good show.
Persephone: Their definition of a good show clearly differs from mine.
Rich Russillo: Be that as it may the action in the ring continues as Everett is resting in her corner while Woog is whipping Kelin into the ropes, kick to the midsection followed by a fisherman suplex! Down goes Kelin!
James Peters: Look at McCall! She snuck up to Kirk Redwood! He’s focused on the match he doesn’t know she’s there! He finally notices! Kick to the midsection and McCall quickly grabs a hold on to Redwood’s head on the apron! She smirks, what does she have in mind? What is she… HOLY COW!!! SHE SPRINGBOARDED HERSELF ON THE SECOND ROPE AND DROVE KIRK REDWOOD DOWN WITH HER INTO A BULLDOG TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR!!! THAT IS JUST CRAZY! LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO PULL A MOVE SHE HASN’T TRIED BEFORE WITH A SKATEBOARD ON HER OPPONENT! AND THIS IS HER FIRST EAW MATCH!! SHE REALLY IS SET TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION ON THAT ONE!
Persephone: But it’s just a bulldog!
James Peters: Yes, but did you ever see it done this way?
Persephone: No.
James Peters: Well there you go! Why reinvent the wheel when you can modify it?
Persephone: Whatever.
Rich Russillo: That doesn’t alter the fact that Kirk Redwood is now seeing stars outside of the ring while we have Woogieman in control of the match and Kelin at the moment! Folks, we’re going to a commercial break stay right with us!
( A commercial plays for the next Buffalo Bills game against the Indianapolis Colts, live from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Get Your Tickets Now or check local listings. )
Rich Russillo: We are back on Sunday Sunday Night Voltage! We are coming to you live from the KeyBank Centre in Buffalo, New York, and the match took a turn during the commercial break as Redwood managed to get some measure of retribution on the opportunistic McCall Everett and tagged himself into the match he is doing a number on The Woogieman at the moment things are not looking great for the People’S Champion! Redwood with a snap suplex followed by a still headbutt getting Woog reeling. Kirk himself grunts shaking his head in one swift motion as he grinds his teeth, narrowing his eyes, zeroing in on his opponent!
Persephone: If looks could kill am I right?
Rich Russillo: Whip into the ropes for Kirk sending the Woogieman bouncing off them he tackles Woogie with a stiff-looking shoulder!
James Peters: KIRK HAS WOOGIEMAN IN THE SHARPSHOOTER!! HE CALLS IT THE COLLINS LOCK! KIRK REDWOOD HAS THE FIGURE FOUR SHARPSHOOTER LOCKED IN TIGHT!! THIS DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR THE PEOPLE’S CHAMP!!! McCALL IS BOUNCING ON THE APRON YELLING AT WOOGIE TO HANG ON SHE DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE THIS MATCH NOT HER DEBUT MATCH!!! WOOG IS YELLING IN PAIN! KIRK IS APPLYING ALL THE PRESSURE HE CAN WOOG’S BACK IS ARCHED AT AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE!!
Persephone: Oh look!
Rich Russillo: Woog is raising one of his hands in the air! It’s shaking he is fighting the pain but he’s about to tap! Will he submit?? McCall IS RUSHING IN AND GRABS WOOGIEMAN’S HAND THAT WAS JUST ABOUT TO LAND ON THE MAT HE WAS ABOUT TO TAP BUT McCALL SAVED HIM!! KELIN RUSHES IN WITH A DROPKICK TO McCALL SHE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND IS FOLLOWED BY KELIN THE TWO ARE BATTLING IT OUT TO THE OUTSIDE NOW! Back inside the ring, Woogieman was able to move out of the distraction caused by McCall’s interference and grab hold of the ropes! The official orders Kirk to let him go much to his frustration he had this match won!
James Peters: He doesn’t look happy at all in fact as he moves to get Woog up to his feet! He throws a few fists to the face of Woog WHO BLOCKS THE LAST ONE AND GOES FOR A SERIES OF HIS OWN! He whips Redwood to the ropes! Kirk rushes back trying a shoulder block but fails! Into the ropes again AND BOUNCING BACK INTO A SPINEBUSTEEEEEEEEER!!! DOWN GOES KIRK!! THE WOOGIEMAN IS STANDING AT HIS HEAD! ARE WE GOING TO SEE IT??
Persephone: Ah heck… This again…
Rich Russillo: It’s Only The Most Electrifying Move In Our Business Today! THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW! Woog throws his elbow pad to the crowd! He dashes to the ropes, rope-a-dope over Kirk, bounces to the ropes again, and lands the El-NO!!! KIRK REVERSED IT WITH A ROLL-UP!!! NO NOT LIKE THIS!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!!
James Peters: KIRK HAS THE THIGHS!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Sarecena plays over the sound system as Redwood lets go of Woogieman and the official moves in to raise both the arms of both victors together once Kelin returns inside the ring. McCall outside the ring looks a bit devastated. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen Here Are Your Winners: The Team Of Kelin and KIRK REDWOOD!!!!!!
Persephone: Boring match!
James Peters: A surprising win by the team of Kelin and K-HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: KIRK REDWOOD IS IN A MOUNTED POSITION OVER WOOGIEMAN AND IS THROWING FISTS AND ELBOWS TO THE FOREHEAD OF HIS DEFEATED OPPONENT!! THE WOOGIEMAN IS BUSTED OPEN AS THE OFFICIALS ARE RUSHING IN TRYING TO SEPARATE KIRK FROM WOOGIE!
Persphone: DON’T! AH MAN, FINALLY THIS WAS GETTING FUN! UGH!! I hate it here. Let’s move on I guess.
(As officials pull Kirk Redwood up the ramp and check on the Woogieman, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
( Voltage fades backstage and the focus is on the EAW World Champion, Drake King. He has everything in the world to smile about right now, even if last week wasn’t exactly the smoothest week New Eden has ever had. Whether New Eden wants to admit it or not, there was a bit of tension during last week’s 3-on-1 Handicap Match that saw the trio defeat Jake Smith. When you combine that with the disagreement the group seems to have over the Extreme Elimination Chamber, things aren’t as pleasant as they might seem. Nevertheless the champ is smiling and that’s because he is on his way to visit the one and only, Ms. Extreme. Drake stops in front of her lockerroom and gently knocks on the door. He takes a step back, the smile never leaving his face, and waits for the Universal Women’s Champion to open the door. )
Ms. Extreme: Oh.
( Needless to say, she does not smile when she sees that it’s Drake who is on the other side of the door. In fact, her face twists into a little scowl, indicating that she isn’t happy that he is the one at her door. )
Drake King: Hello! It’s good to see you too, Camille.
( Drake’s happy smile never wavers which for some reason just irritates Ms. Extreme even more. She folds her arms across her chest and leans against the doorframe. )
Ms. Extreme: Is there something I can help you with?
Drake King: I just came to see you, is all. We haven’t really spoken since Wicked Games, even though I’ve sent you several messages, so I just assumed that you would rather talk in person. That’s probably a better idea, anyway, because so many things get lost in translation over text messaging and social media, and whatnot. Don’t you just find it awful that people are so obsessed with their devices that they just don’t seem to want to have conversations in person anymore?
( Drake doesn’t wait for an answer, nor does he wait for Ms. Extreme to invite him. He simply strolls through the door of her lockerroom and turns to face her. )
Drake King: I know that emotions were running high at the end of Wicked Games and I’ll be frank with you, you certainly surprised me. It was a pleasant surprise, don’t get me wrong, but a surprise nonetheless.
Ms. Extreme: Number one, I didn’t invite you in so why the fu… hell are you in my lockerroom right now?? And two, I certainly didn’t do what I did for you or New Eden.
( Drake ignores the first question, but the second one makes him smirk. )
Drake King: Perhaps you didn’t do it for New Eden intentionally, but you did do it for us just as much as you did it for yourself. Look Camille, I know you want to continue putting up walls and guarding your true feelings, but I’m not someone you have to pretend around. I know how much winning means to you and how desperate you are to be known as one of the absolute best. Even though I don’t agree with any of it, I accept that you are flawed. It’s okay. You are starting to see the light and how corrupt this brand is, and that is what I want everyone to see! Wicked Games was the perfect example of just how bad Voltage is. Captain Charisma not only allowed Chris Elite to step in and use the Gawd Contract to restart a match he never wanted to see me win in the first place, he also allowed Windgate and Duke to come to the ring and make sure that we walked away from Wicked Games with nothing. I can only assume that Captain Charisma thought those actions would get overlooked by you because you never wanted to team with me in the first place. You spent a good portion of last season fighting against us and of course Captain Charisma believed that you would turn the other cheek and not retaliate. He was so wrong; so darn wrong.
( Ms. Extreme remains completely unmoved by this, and says nothing. She just stares at Drake with an annoyed expression on her face. )
Drake King: You have always been so incredibly passionate about this business; a sport that nearly cost you your ability to walk. It has lifted you up, broken you into a million pieces mentally, physically, and emotionally, and left you for dead so many times. Your family has been crucified by the masses. Your own mother was the subject of relentless humiliation at the hands of our so-called Chairman. You were constantly overlooked and passed over for whatever… distasteful woman the powers-to-be wanted to shove down our throats at the time, and all the while, you kept working hard. You never let anything deter you from your dreams, and even if your dreams are nothing more than titles and big time wins, I could never, ever fault your work ethic and your drive. It is admirable. From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry that you ended up as the victim during Wicked Games. I did everything in my power to help you get the tag team championship shot that you wanted, even though the outcome never really mattered to me. It mattered to YOU, and I wanted you to win the tournament. Jake Smith and Chris Elite have had so many failed championship shots that it’s not even worth keeping a count of anymore, and whenever they do step into the ring with Xavier and Harlow, I am sure the outcome is going to be the same. But I do hate that they’re getting this chance instead of you.
Ms. Extreme: Honestly, I think you’re full of shi… crap. I don’t believe anything that is coming out of your mouth right now and why should I? You are a liar, and someone who can’t be trusted.
( This hurts Drake and the smile on his face falters. )
Drake King: I have no reason to lie to you at this point, Camille. I truly don’t. I do feel bad that you got caught up in New Eden’s business with Windgate and Duke, and if I could make that up to you, I would. I could give us a Unified Tag Team Championship shot, if you’d like. I could give you whatever match you want. I want you to believe me, and more importantly, I want the two of us to be on good terms.
( Ms. Extreme goes to reply, but she stops herself. She searches Drake’s eyes for some sign that he is screwing with her, but there’s nothing. He actually appears to be sincere, and that’s not something she was expecting from him at all. )
Ms. Extreme: I really don’t know what to say to you right now.
( It was an honest admission, and Drake acknowledged it with a nod of his head. )
Drake King: I know it’s hard to believe, but New Eden does care about you, Camille. Minerva is very fond of you and I will admit that you’ve grown on me. For what it’s worth, you were a great partner and made that stupid tournament somewhat bearable. Thank you for that, and more importantly, thank you for giving New Eden a chance to show the world how much better professional wrestling can be when people get to compete for what truly matters.
Ms. Extreme: What is it that you believe truly matters?
Drake King: In terms of wrestling? Just the competition. Love of the sport. So many of us grew up watching wrestling on television and wanting to be superheroes. We wanted to put it all on the line and see who the better person could be. It was pure. It was innocent. As children, we didn’t know any better. None of us could have imagined that the sport we loved so much was full of corruption, lust, greed, and favoritism. I want everyone who competes on Voltage to remember what it was like watching our idols on television every week. That joy we experienced when they won, and the heartbreak we felt when they lost. All I want is competition and matches free from everything that has plagued our industry for so long. I don’t think that’s too much to ask, and I wish people could see that.
( A rare, genuine smile crossed Drake’s face and for the first time, Ms. Extreme caught a glimpse of the other side of Drake King. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, his words struck a chord and her tiny, black heart felt a surge of emotion. Growing up, she did get swept up in the larger than life personalities that professional wrestling showcased. A lifelong EAW fan, Ms. Extreme had so many memories of watching her heroes do the unthinkable. It wasn’t until she got into the sport herself that she realized the product on TV was different from what went on behind the scenes, and even she wished that things could be different from time to time. However, the stubborn side of Ms. Extreme continued to show. She wouldn’t give Drake King the satisfaction of knowing he got to her. )
Ms. Extreme: Cool. Are we done here?
Drake King: :francis:
( Drake just shook his head. He had basically poured his heart out to Ms. Extreme and she had shut him down. Drake was a lot of things, but stupid wasn’t one of them. He knew darn well he had struck a nerve, because the woman who always had something to say, suddenly had nothing of substance to say at all. With a shrug of his shoulders, Drake sighed and started to head towards the door. )
Drake King: I guess so. Good luck tonight against Don-
( Drake’s voice trails off because he’s spotted something hanging above Ms. Extreme’s door. )
Drake King: What on Earth??
( Ms. Extreme gives Drake an odd look but she looks up too. )
Ms. Extreme: You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
( Drake doesn’t even bother to reprimand her. He’s still in shock. Hanging above Ms. Extreme’s door is mistletoe! )
Drake King: I- I- I…
Ms. Extreme: Considering you’re stammering like an idiot, I can only assume you know what mistletoe is.
( Once upon a time, Drake and Sierra had their first real kiss under the mistletoe, and now Drake was having a feeling of deja vu. Except Ms. Extreme was certainly not Sierra. Ms. Extreme was everything Drake should scorn when it came to women except all she did was intrigue more and more as the days went by. )
Drake King: H-h-ow did that get there??
Ms. Extreme: Well I definitely didn’t hang it. Even I don’t believe in decorating until AFTER Thanksgiving.
( Ms. Extreme looked at Drake, who seemed to be a little terrified by the fact he was standing under the mistletoe with her. It wasn’t lost on Ms. Extreme that Drake had a weird code of morals and something like kissing was basically forbidden until marriage. A wicked smile crossed her face and she looked directly into Drake’s eyes. )
Ms. Extreme: Well?
Drake King: :comeagain: What?
Ms. Extreme: What are you going to do about the fact you and I are standing under the mistletoe?
Drake King: 😐 Nothing.
( Ms. Extreme shrugs her shoulders. On impulse, she grabs Drake’s face and plants a kiss right on his lips! The crowd inside the arena can be heard going absolutely crazy as this whole thing is playing out on the video tron. Drake doesn’t even know what to do at first, but then he relaxes and starts to kiss Ms. Extreme back! A few seconds later, the Universal Women’s Champion breaks the kiss and slaps Drake across the face! )
Drake King: Hey!!!! What was that for?
Ms. Extreme: For enjoying it! You just cheated on Sierra. You know that right?
( Ms. Extreme reaches up and snatches the mistletoe from her door. She throws it at a stunned Drake before slamming the door shut in his face. )
Drake King: Sweet baby Jesus in a manger. What have I done?
( The EAW World Champion turns on his heels and slowly walks away as the scene fades elsewhere. )
(The camera fades back to ringside, to see StarrStan standing in the ring with a microphone.)
James Peters: StarrStan has arrived here on Voltage, and I’m very curious as to what he has to say! As you all know he is the GM for Dynasty, so his presence here is kind of odd, but with New Eden running things, any professional in charge is a nice change. We welcome StarrStan with open arms.
Persephone: Speak for yourself, this dude gives off huge pedo, rapist vibes, I wouldn’t be surprised if we found him rubbing his meat on some meat in the catering area. How quick we forget about Territorial Invasion, I mean weren’t we programmed to believe that he was the absolute worst enemy that we could possibly have ever? And now he’s on our territory? Do you think he’s here to gloat about Territorial Invasion? We should jump him while we have the opportunity!
Rich Russillo: No.. I don’t think that’s necessary. It is said that he wanted to make an announcement regarding the Universal Women’s Championship Elimination Chamber. So this could be quite a big announcement! Definitely nothing to do with Territorial Invasion, stop living in the past.
Persephone: DOES HE NOT HAVE HIS OWN SHOW TO ANNOUNCE THINGS ON???! I’m telling you, he’s a spy, and we should take him out.. Shhh he’s about to speak, we can discuss this further later.
(StarrStan looks over at the announcer booth, seemingly aware of what they’re saying, and gives them a weird look. Persephone gives an awkward wave back. Then StarrStan goes right back to what he was here for in the first place)
StarrStan: Good Evening everyone. I’m sure you’re all confused as to why I’m here, so let me just get straight to it. With Captain Charisma out of commission until December 1st, I have been tasked with putting together the Universal Women’s Championship Chamber match. As already announced Ximena Velasquez, and Lisa Wren have been chosen to represent Friday Night Dynasty, although that could change. Next week, Lisa Wren will put her spot in the chamber on the line against the talented newcomer, Serenity Valdez. I’m sure that match is going to be incredible. Now, Voltage is going to put forth two participants to challenge Ms. Extreme. There was a lot of talent to choose from, and the decision wasn’t easy; but I believe I have come up with a proper Elitist to put into this situation. I have decided that Holly Arrow will be the challenger. Holly Arrow has already proven she has what it takes to take the current Universal Women’s Champion to the absolute limit, when she came so close to winning the belt a few weeks ago. Also, I am going with rookie Rebecca Blackwell. Rebecca Blackwell has shown that she can hang with the best, and has already been put in some prominent matches and never batted an eye. I believe she hasn’t even come close to the potential that she possesses, but with this match, I think she will really shine. She could very well become the next big thing in EAW.
(“Goya No Machiawase” by Hello Sleepwalkers starts playing, and Holly Arrow starts coming down to the ring)
Holly Arrow: Whoa whoa whoa… Look I don’t think we’ve ever met before, so I don’t know who you think you are passing judgments around; but if you think that Rebecca Blackwell is “the next big thing” I can already tell you’re a big dumb doofus. This is the same Woman that crashed and burned during Clash of Kingdoms. The same chick who lost her match for the Specialists Championship, and the same chick that couldn’t even beat a relic that rose from the tomb, Cleopatra. And don’t get me started on that terrible tag team she’s a part of. I-I.. I just don’t understand how you can possibly stand here, in a suit and tie, act all professional, and have the dumbest things I’ve ever heard come out of your mouth like that. Did you just look at names on a piece of paper and just close your eyes and point? You clearly don’t know the Voltage roster whatsoever, and are in no position to make any decisions on anything that goes on around here. Rebecca Blackwell is a known loser, someone that can’t get the job done in any capacity. Yet you want to make bold claims like “she’s the next big thing”.. Honestly you should just go. You’ve embarrassed yourself enough.
(“This Still Remains” by Bloodloss plays and Rebecca Blackwell makes her way to the ring determined. She grabs a microphone, and doesn’t waste any time)
Rebecca Blackwell: Will you shut your mouth? Just because he said I’m the next big thing, doesn’t mean you have to get emotional about it. It’s clear to see that I’m on the rise. The reason I’m getting big opportunities is because I have earned it. To know where I came from in life to right now.. I have made leaps and bounds in my life, and I won’t stop until I am at the very top. I might not have beaten Cleo, but Cleo hasn’t been in the ring since, and she’s certainly not in line for any title opportunities.. I was placed in these opportunities because I was capable of winning in them. You are someone that always likes to complain about what’s happening with everyone else, without actually doing anything for yourself. You think StarrStan has embarrassed himself? You are the one that has embarrassed yourself out here. You knew that you would have no other chance to make an impact tonight, so you needed to come out here in order to get your face out. I deserved that match against Cleo, against Miku, the match at Clash of Kingdoms, and everything else that I’ve gotten.
Holly Arrow: Oh.. So that’s how you want to get your opportunities? Technicalities? You truly are one pathetic moron. You’ll take any chance that you can get, by any means, and no that’s not a compliment. You only got put on the Clash of Kingdoms team because they needed people.. And Miku didn’t even want you by the way; and what did you do? You were the first one out on the team. And then, you had your shot at proving Miku wrong, and beat her for her title.. But what happened? You lost. Oh and by the way, that Specialists Championship match that you got, the one that you say you “earned”; she only gave it to you because she didn’t want Mary. You didn’t earn anything, and every time you get a chance placed in your lap, you do nothing with it. I see no titles to your name, I see no success to your name, but for some reason people want to continue to pretend that you have potential, or that you’re about to break out. Well statistically speaking if they keep handing out title chances to you like candy, eventually you’re going to win one… Even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. A broken clock is right twice a day, and even Rebecca Blackwell can finally win something if given enough chances. You know all those cliches? They fit you perfectly! Because maybe you will win something someday but it won’t have anything to do with your talent. It’s just a matter of a tiresome bore that they want you to be this great talent, that eventually someone will mess up. Eventually someone will have an off night, and you will have the best night of your life, but it will be an anomaly. Meanwhile I would win these matches that you get, but do I get them? No, and why? I couldn’t tell you, because I think we’ve seen enough of the Rebecca Blackwell experiment. And yet here we are with some dumb stooge yet again trying to push the narrative that Rebecca Blackwell has talent.. Yeah no, I don’t want to believe that, because it’s not even close to be true. You’ve shown your true colors again, and again, and again.. It’s enough.
Rebecca Blackwell: Obviously I deserved the match against Miku, or she wouldn’t have given me the chance. And in that match I was fingertips away from winning; it wasn’t like I was proven wrong really. It’s just a string of bad luck, and eventually I’m going to break through. It just sounds like jealousy from you, because people believe in me, and they don’t believe in you. By the sounds of it, you really are in your feelings over me getting opportunities, and I really think it just comes down to you feeling like I’m passing you by, and you just can’t get your feet off the ground with anything. Don’t worry, one day you’ll figure it out, but by that time, I’ll already be main eventing.
Holly Arrow: YOU WO-
(StarrStan steps in between them)
StarrStan: Alright, alright! I’ve heard enough, cool out. Since both of you will be competing on different brands next week, I am going to make a match between the two of you on the November 28th episode of Voltage.
(They both grin, and start staring at each other. StarrStan leaves the ring, and the two of them start jawing back and forth again, but you can’t hear what they say)
(The camera fades to a commercial promoting the upcoming Voltage match between Holly Arrow and Rebecca Blackwell.)
(The camera pans to Bella Braxton in the ring ready to announce the next match….)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS! “THE BEST KEPT SECRET” LUCAS JOHNSON!!!!!!!
(“Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts to play as Lucas Johnson walks down to the ring with a new focus entering the year 2021, he is done with the nonsense and will do anything it takes to win at any cost. Lucas sees himself as a Lone Wolf until proven otherwise. Lucas is looking to kill others in sight before he was the one taken out in the end. Before Lucas enters the ring a local authority from the state athletic commission will put Vaseline on Lucas’ face before he enters the Squared Circle to prevent cuts and check his gloves to make sure he isn’t hiding anything that could help his performance in combat.)
James Peters: Here is Lucas Johnson and he has been very impressive though fallen short a few times recently, looking to get himself back into contention with a huge win.
Rich Russillo: He really does, and maybe this is the night to do it, who knows but Lucas is definitely a very dangerous man who can beat you every time.
Persephone: Why does he act like a boxer? Vaseline? Best Kept Secret? Sorry honey, but you are definitely not a secret.
(As Lucas circles the ring and gets ready, his theme dies and it is replaced with ‘Loser’ by Charles Hamilton as Danny Tanner slowly walks out of the ring, with none other than Candice Blair Ava by his side.)
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT! HE HAILS FROM SARASOTA, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY CANDICE BLAIR AVA…. DANNY “3 SECOND” TANNER!!!!
(The crowd cheers as he starts to walk toward the ring, focused on Lucas Johnson but happy to be with Candice by his side. They get to the ring, and she offers to open the ropes but as a gentleman, he does it for her instead, as she smiles and steps through.)
Persephone: What man on this planet thinks 3 Seconds is a good nickname? He might as well call himself 3 Pump Chump.
James Peters: Well, three seconds as in a pinfall, not what you are thinking but Danny is also looking for a huge win here tonight, having Candice back sure does help and I think we are going to see a very fast and methodical match here tonight.
Rich Russillo: I have to agree, both of these men are fast, technically sound, will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
(Danny and Candice talk for a second before she gets out of the ring. Danny and Lucas have a small stare down before the referee goes to check on both men and calls for the bell and the start of the match.)
(DING!!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
(Both wrestlers circle the ring, before Danny extends his hand for a shake, Lucas thinks about it for a moment before nodding, they shake hands much to the delight of the crowd. They circle again before tying up, Danny tries to get the advantage, but Lucas spins around him, he takes him down with a gut wrench to the mat, Danny though spins through, he gets back behind Lucas, taking him down but Lucas also spins around, whipping Danny into the ropes, he goes for a clothesline, but Tanner catches his arm, hops up with a crucifix pin….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Lucas Johnson with the quick kick out and this match has started off fast! He is back up, Danny locks up, side headlock, but Lucas pushes him into the ropes, SHOULDER BLOCK! Danny goes down! Lucas sprints against the ropes, Danny is up, he drops, Lucas runs over him, Danny springs back up, leapfrog as Lucas runs under and Lucas turns, STIFF KICK TO THE SIDE OF DANNY’S HEAD! He stumbles back and BELLY TO BELLY!
Rich Russillo: Quick action from these two already and Danny is down! Lucas Johnson grabs his arm, lifting Danny up, shoulder hip toss! Textbook at that, he falls flat on his back, Lucas runs against the ropes. Dropkick on Danny… NO! Danny rolls away and out of the ring! Candice Blair Ava is right there to check on him but watch Johnson….. SUICIDE DIVE!
Persephone: Chivalry still exists with this virgin! He just pushed Candice out of the way and the dumb a…. uh butt ate the bullet! How romantic!
(The crowd cheers as Lucas Johnson picks up Danny and throws him back in the ring. He hops on the apron, looking over at a concerned Candice Blair, he waits until Danny is back up….)
Rich Russillo: SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE RIGHT ON TANNER AND HE IS DOWN EARLY IN THIS MATCH! Lucas Johnson now positions himself, Danny is back to his feet, SPINNING HEEL KICK! NO! TANNER GETS OUT OF THE WAY! LUCAS LANDS HARD, HE IS BACK UP AND DANNY HITS AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! JOHNSON IS FOLDED IN HALF! DANNY WITH A QUICK COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: LUCAS KICKS OUT! Dany though is quick to pick up Lucas, head lock take down! He holds it tight trying to wear him down, as Lucas turns him over for the pin…
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: But Danny uses the strength of his legs to push himself back into position! He holds the headlock as Lucas is trying to get back to his knees, but Dany Tanner is playing it smart, and it must help to have a beautiful and talented woman like Candice on the outside cheering him on!
Persephone: Of course, it is especially when you are an awkward dude like him. Only reason he is even trying is because she is out there and somehow he hopes to like have Candice go out for some ice cream. He is such a loser and what is it with the pink tights!?
James Peters: It’s a fashion statement but right now Danny is playing the wear down game, and it is a smart tactic. He has Lucas down, but his opponent is trying to get back to his feet, at least now on his knees giving him some leverage, pushing up and getting on one foot, Danny still trying to hold on and Lucas is back up! Pushes Danny into he ropes, he bounces back, THE BLUEPRINT! HE LANDED THE CUTTER ON DANNY AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THR…..
Rich Russillo: DANNY WITH THE SHOULDER UP! Lucas is a bit stunned, thought this was going to end quick! He picks up Danny, underhook suplex after locking both arms! He takes Danny over and look at the concern on the face of Candice Blair Ava! Danny is in trouble, slowly getting up and Lucas with some stiff kicks to the chest! Repeatedly over and over! Danny is stunned and Lucas throws him into the turnbuckle, charging in and NO! Danny with the boot, Lucas is stunned, stumbling back and huge clothesline taking Lucas down!
James Peters: That crowd is really getting into this match now! Danny Tanner climbing the top rope, he is waiting as Lucas is back up on his feet…. FLYING BODY PRESS! HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Kick out by Lucas, because of course this time he decides to kick out, what a jerk. Come on Danny just end this guy, this match sucks!
James Peters: Danny Tanner is staying on Lucas Johnson, he runs against the ropes, and another clothesline! No! Lucas ducks, ENZINGUIRI! Danny caught right on the side of the head, he falls back into the ropes and KILLSWITCH! LUCAS JOHNSON CAUGHT DANNY WITH THE KILLSWITCH! THIS ONE IS OVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
Persephone: Oh, come on! Beat this guy!
James Peters: Danny with a shoulder up and looks at Candace! She is getting the crowd behind Danny Tanner who is still in this, here comes Lucas, wrenching the arm, trying to lock in a code red arm bar, but Danny locking his hands, he is trying hard not to allow Lucas from locking it in, that could spell disaster for Danny!
Rich Russillo: It sure could! Danny knows that he is in there with a man that can beat anyone in the EAW, that is what Lucas Johnson is, an Elitist who is in every match and shown that he can take anyone to the limit, but Danny is so resilient! Holding his arms together, Lucas… HE IS NOW KICKING DANNY IN THE FACE REPEATEDLY! Over and over! Danny rele3ases the grip and Lucas Johnson locks in the arm bar, NO! Danny rolls with the pull of the arm and he has Lucas in a pinning predicament!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: This is getting old, kick out by Lucas Johnson….. awesome.
(Danny is able to get free, Candice checks on his arm, slapping it to get the blood flowing again as Lucas is already back to his feet. Danny pulls away while Candice continues to look on concerned, Danny is up, Lucas charges in, Danny ducks….)
James Peters: Danny turns, Lucas locks in the belly to ….. no! Dany with an elbow! Another elbow, Lucas backs up and FACEBUSTER OVER HIS KNEE! LUCAS LOOKS STUNNED AND MEIDO ZANGETSUHA! THE FIREMAN’S CUTTER AND CANDICE IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN! DANNY DROPS FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
Persephone: THIS IS GETTING REALLY OLD REALLY QUICK! HOW DID LUCAS JOHNSON KICK OUT OF THAT!?
Rich Russillo: Resiliency!
Persephone: Rich…. It’s Lucas Johnson we are talking about.
Rich Russillo: Determination!? I don’t know but Danny Tanner didn’t have him down long enough for the cover! He is back up and picks up Lucas, looks to set him up for… NO! Lucas with a palm thrust on Danny! He stuns him again and Lucas runs against the ropes, forearm on Danny! A hard one too and Danny is barely on his feet, he charges in and no! Danny catches Lucas, STO! DANNY TOOK HIM DOWN AND NOW HE POINTS TO THE TOP ROPE AGAIN! CLIMBING TO THE TOP…. HE IS UP AND…. NO! LUCAS JUST TOOK HIS FEET FROM UNDER HIM!
James Peters: AND NOW LUCAS IS UP ON THE ROPE, HE GRABS DANNY FROM THE TOP ROPE AND SUPERPLEX! SUPERPLEX ON DANNY TANNER AND…… WAIT DANNY SOMEHOW TRAPS THE LEGS OF LUCAS JOHNSON AS HE LANDS THE SUPERPLEX….
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH….. DANNY TANNER!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Loser’ by Charles Hamilton starts to play as Lucas sits up shocked at the count. He looks up holding up two fingers, but the referee shakes his head, holding up three fingers and then raising the arm of Danny Tanner as he slowly sits up.)
Persephone: Well, that was unexpected, and it was great! It was over quickly!
James Peters: What a quick victory and Lucas Johnson is stunned! He doesn’t know what just happened! Danny is up and Candice slides into the ring! She is hugging Danny as they are starting to celebrate!
Rich Russillo: Huge win for Danny Tanner with a shock roll up after the super-plex and Lucas Johnson is absolutely shocked, he is still trying to plead his case to the referee! Candice and Danny are hugging and….
(But before Danny and Candice can continue their celebration, Alex Myers slides in….)
James Peters: DANNY TANNER HAS JUST BEEN ATTACKED FROM BEHIND! ALEX MYERS IS IN THE RING AND THEY JUST KNOCKED DANNY TANNER TO THE GROUND! LUCAS JOHNSON IS BACK ON HIS FEET, CANDICE IS NOW LOOKING AT BOTH AS CANDICE STRIKES LUCAS WITH HER FOREARM KNOCKING HIM BACK SOME, CANDICE AGAIN, AND HERE COMES MYERS, SHE TURNS AROUND AND FOREARMS MYERS AS WELL, SHE THEN TURNS AND KICKS LUCAS AND…… SPINNING HEEL KICK BY ALEX MYERS!
(Candice gets dropped, she rolls to her side, Lucas and Alex start kicking her while she is down.)
Persephone: ACTIVIST BEAT DOWN! I LOVE IT!
Rich Russillo: Myers and Lucas grab Candice and throw her out of the ring! Alex turns his attention to Danny Tanner and NO! DANNY IS BACK UP AND HE IS THROWING FISTS AT MYERS! NOW TO LUCAS AND HE FALLS! DANNY WHIPS MYERS INTO THE ROPES… NO! MYERS WITH A TORNADO ELBOW AND DANNY FALLS TO ONE KNEE…. DOCTOR SLEEP! HE CONNECTED AND DANNY IS DOWN! WHAT THE HELL IS ALEX MYERS DOING!?
(Alex instructs Lucas to pick him up, he then digs into his pants and takes out a lighter and some cloth, smiling as Lucas backs up some, Danny is wobbly on his feet….)
James Peters: WHAT THE HELL IS ALEX DOING!? THEY…. THEY THROW A FIREBALL INTO THE FACE OF DANNY TANN….. NO! CANDICE BLAIR AVA JUMPED IN FRONT OF IT AND SHE TOOK THE FIREBALL TO THE FACE! SHE TOOK THE FIREBALL TO THE FACE AND LOOK AT MYERS! HE IS IN SHOCK! CANDICE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AND LUCAS JOHNSON ALREADY HIGHTAILED IT OUT OF THE RING, DANNY QUICKLY COVERS HER UP YELLING AT THE REFEREE TO GET WATER AND A TOWEL! ALEX MYERS SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AND DANNY IS HELPING CANDICE!
(Officials run down to the ring to help Candice who is rolling around, they finally get some water and a towel, applying it to her face as Danny is screaming, turning to Myers who is backing away toward the back….)
Danny Tanner: (off mic) YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS ALEX!!!!
(Danny though quickly focuses his attention back on Candice.)
Persephone: I hope that got there in time, with all that plastic, she will melt.
(The officials and medical staff continue to check on Candice as it cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage as we’re met by the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme preparing for her upcoming main event against Donovan Duke. You can see that her mind is still running at a million miles an hour after everything that has happened over the last few weeks before she takes a deep breath and places her focus onto her opponent. She grabs her Universal Women’s Championship, taking a moment to gaze at it until there’s a knock at the door of her locker room. She doesn’t say a word, but her eyes shoot towards the door. She knows that it could be anyone and she truthfully may hope that they would just leave her alone until her match, but nonetheless the door opens and… her sister, Cameron Ella Ava enters. The two look at each other; neither immediately say a word as Cameron grits her teeth and shakes her head.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I can’t believe you.
Ms. Extreme: I don’t want to hear it.
(Cameron tries to calm herself down, but she just can’t hold it in.)
Cameron Ella Ava: How the FUCK could you kiss that FUCKING piece of SHIT?!
Ms. Extreme: Shut up. Shut up, Cameron. I don’t know why I did it. I slapped him afterwards. It doesn’t concern you anyway.
Cameron Ella Ava: This doesn’t concern me, Camille? Those are the people that took out Jamie. Those are the people that have systematically terrorised EVERYBODY on this brand for MONTHS, and have consistently proven that their agenda is far more valuable in their eyes than anyone else. But, none of that stopped you. You still did it. Does family not matter to you? You win that championship and nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter what he does. The person that he is. What he’s trying to do to Voltage. YOUR brand. You still throw yourself into his arms and try to tell me that you don’t know why you did it? I don’t give a FUCK if you slapped him afterwards. This does concern me. The things that you do are ALWAYS going to concern me. What they did to Jamie – the father of my son – YOUR nephew concerns me.
Ms. Extreme: MY actions do not concern you, Cameron. You said it. This is MY brand. You want to put your focus somewhere? Put it on something else that Cameron Ella Ava can focus on.
(Surprisingly, the hint of a smile crosses the face of Cameron as her eyes move towards the Universal Women’s Championship which rests on the shoulder of her sister.)
Ms. Extreme: Are you serious?
Cameron Ella Ava: Maybe I want in that chamber, little sister. I could make history.
(The look of disgust crosses the face of the Universal Women’s Champion, but it quickly turns to a smirk and the slightest of chuckles.)
Ms. Extreme: This was never about my actions. This was always going to be about you. It has ALWAYS been about you, Cameron. The valiant older sister that put the Ava name on the map. The woman that broke barriers for every other woman that has competed in this company and has been able to accomplish everything that they could have dreamed about accomplishing. I could have believed it. I could have believed that you walked into MY locker room, uninvited because you cared about “family”. You stood there and questioned whether family mattered to me, but the moment that you put your eyes to MY Universal Women’s Championship – you proved how much it really matters to you. But, why? We both know why, don’t we? It’s because this business doesn’t look at you with the same look in their eyes. You’re no longer the queen bee. You’re no longer the leader of the entire division. The person that every other woman dreams about competing in this company and looks to hope to become. It’s no longer all about you. I don’t give a fuck about you making anymore history, Cameron. It’s about me. It’s about me being everything that you wish you could still be. It’s about me being everything that Consuela wishes that she could have become. You need to remember that you challenged Myles, so you can save your breath about trying to make history that you’re never going to reach while I hold this championship.
Cameron Ella Ava: Nothing is off the table after I’ve finished with Myles. I’m back to make history, little sister, and nobody, you included, is going to stop me from achieving it – especially while you’re all too happy kissing with the enemy.
(Camille rolls her eyes.)
Ms. Extreme: I’m not kissing with the enemy. I’m sorry for what happened to Jamie, but whatever happens between him and New Eden has nothing to do with me.
Cameron Ella Ava: It has everything to do with you when it’s your family.
Ms. Extreme: This isn’t going anywhere. You’re wasting my time and you’re obviously not going to listen. I have a main event to focus on and you have to worry about Miku. Now, get out of my locker room and put your focus elsewhere.
Cameron Ella Ava: You’re really going to run away from the problems that they’re creating?
Ms. Extreme: Excuse me?
Cameron Ella Ava: Don’t act like you didn’t hear me.
Ms. Extreme: What do you expect me to do? I’m meant to drop everything that I’m doing because of YOUR problems and YOUR family. Queen Cameron puts her foot down and her soldiers are meant to line up to fight her battles. The worst part is that you don’t see that you’re trying to do the same things that you’ve accused New Eden of doing. You’re just trying to create sides.
Cameron Ella Ava: Don’t you dare compare me to them.
Ms. Extreme: And you’re going to act like you would have been the first person there to help me if I needed it? Where were you when I had the world trying its hardest to stop me from standing where I deserved to stand? Where were you at Wicked Games to make sure that there wasn’t anything to stop me from winning that Tag Team Turmoil tournament. The person that I was teaming with shouldn’t have stopped you with how much I’m being told family should mean. That didn’t matter, did it? It didn’t involve you. It didn’t benefit you. Family wasn’t worth your time, was it? So, why? Why should I do anything, Cameron? Why should I come running? Why should I fight your battles? Not because you asked me, but because you told me that I should be.
(Cameron remains silent, once again gritting her teeth as her little sister, as stubborn as ever, continues to dig her heel in.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I know that nobody could control you, Camille, or I thought that I did. But, I can see it now. It’s too late. Those hooks are already dug in. I told myself when I saw it all that there was a bigger motive behind it all. You were too smart to fall for their games. But, I gave you too much credit. You’ve taken the bait hook, line and sinker. And the worst part is that you don’t even know it. I’m not going to continue to ask you to fight for your family, Camille. This decision falls onto your own shoulders, as do the consequences of making the wrong one. You’ll have nobody but yourself to blame.
Ms. Extreme: I’m not going to have anybody to blame. I’m the Universal Women’s Champion. I won this championship by fighting by myself and for myself. If you’re going to stand there and doubt me? I’m never going to turn down the challenge to knock down another challenge and chance to prove that all names that want to compete for this championship are all below me. You included.
Cameron Ella Ava: If that were the case – nothing would have been able to stop you at Wicked Games. You would have beaten Jake Smith and Chris Elite no matter how many times he used that Gawd Contract to restart the match. I’d hate to know that I was standing here trying to pretend that I stood at the top of a world that’s being moulded by the hand of another person. But, I guess that doesn’t really matter when you take the first real opportunity you have to put your tongue down his throat. You can pretend that you’re not kissing with the enemy. The entire world saw it, Camille. Don’t forget about those consequences. Don’t forget to cherish those moments that you spend holding onto that championship, before you find yourself with nothing.
(Cameron storms out of Camille’s locker room, slamming the door behind her. Camille takes the Universal Women’s Championship off her shoulder and takes another look at it before looking back towards the door. If her head wasn’t running at a million miles an hour before seeing Cameron – it certainly was now.)
(The camera returns to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she announces the next match!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ by Kanye West begins to blare through the speakers of the arena to a solid mixed reaction from the crowd upon seeing Johnny Andrews begin to strut out of the backstage area. He has a shit-eating grin on his face as per while he stands at the center of the stage, looking around before he confidently poses, basking in the reaction that he’s being given at the moment. It isn’t long after that he focuses on the ring and begins to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 215 pounds… THE FACE OF ELITE… JOHNNY ANDREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well here comes Friday Night Dynasty’s own, Johnny Andrews. The last time we saw him in the ring was on Dynasty, where he talked about how he was not going to be left off of the Road To Redemption card and was going to do everything to make sure that he made his mark. Imagine he does exactly that by getting a win on the enemy brand?
James Peters: Well I’d doubt we’d want that Rich :roman:. But even putting any sort of personal bias away, he is up for one hell of a challenge tonight. But as we know, Johnny is always open to a challenge and is willing to give his all no matter the scenario. I wouldn’t be shocked if he got the victory tonight, but seeing as he’s from Dynasty, I’d rather him not.
Persephone: That’s like saying the Voltage roster is any better than the Dynasty roster :francis:. Everyone around here equally sucks and you should be ashamed of yourself because I’ll be fucking damned if I pride myself on watching a roster every single week that DOESN’T include Rex McAllister. Do you see how much sense that DOESN’T make???
(Johnny circles around the ring and begins to make his way up the steel steps, before he steps onto the apron and makes his way into the ring. He arrogantly circles around the ring before running forward and jumping onto the top turnbuckle. He raises his hand in the air with a smile on his face, trash talking to the camera that revolves around him, before jumping off and onto the canvas before making his way to his corner. He gets ready for the match at hand while ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ slowly fades to a close from there.)
(‘New Tank’ by Drake’s favorite artist begins to blast through the speakers of the arena while Jay Jerry Johnson is revealed walking into the camera’s view. He has his arms spread out with an arrogant vibe that reverberates off of him while he circles around the stage area. He then raises an arm in the air while he trash talks towards the camera, before he begins to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 198 pounds… THE CHARISMATIC ARTIST… JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well here comes Jay Jerry Johnson, who I’m for sure is someone that is on cloud nine after what happened this past week. He staked his claim for the New Breed Championship and I’m sure that he firmly believes that he’s going to be the next. He’s someone that’s been on the rise here on Sunday Night Voltage, and I wouldn’t exactly take it out of the picture either.
James Peters: Jay has always been someone that’s stuck to his gut and has always believed what he wants to believe, and I’m sure he’s going to need that if he’s going to be on the hunt for the New Breed Championship. But for now? He has to get through the competition that stands in his way right now, does he have what it takes?
Persephone: Let me tell you, absolutely not. I don’t think this man is even at the level of “New Breed,” he’s just bottom of the barrel. It’s unfortunate in all honesty, but what the hell can you do about it? Try to help someone, and they won’t listen, that’s just how it goes.
(Jay circles around the ring, jumping up onto the apron and looking out to the crowd that boos loudly towards him. He can only really chuckle in response before turning around and jumping into the ring, before climbing up and beginning to make his way up the top rope. Jay poses for the crowd one more time before he jumps down and circles around, making his way towards his corner and getting ready for the match at hand while ‘New Tank’ begins to come to a close and the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, this singles match is officially underway! Both Johnny and Jay are beginning to make their way around the ring, methodically composing a game plan respectively for how they’re going to handle the match at hand. Both of them making their way towards the center of the ring, they look to be going for a collar-and-elbow tie up! BUT JAY LEAPS INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A HIGH KNEE TO THE JAW OF JOHNNY!
(In an instant, Johnny moves out of the way and manages to side-step before the knee connects. Jay stumbles forward before quickly turning on his heels in confusion. The only thing that Johnny can do, is wag his finger.)
Johnny Andrews: (Off-Mic) Can’t beat me at my own game!
Jay Jerry Johnson: (Off-Mic) You son of a…
James Peters: JAY RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD OF JOHNNY! But Johnny manages to duck under that, Johnny instantly sprinting towards the ropes and back while Jay turns around, BUT IT’S JOHNNY THAT JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND DROPS JAY DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SWIFT HURRICANRANA! Johnny right back up, running to the ropes and back, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A CORKSCREW ELBOW DROP TO HIS CHEST!
Persephone: :francis:!!! Can you at least make the brand look good for God sakes? Captain Charisma is a very competitive person and I’d like to think in a perfect reality that if we’re solidified as the best brand, he’ll give me a raise.
Rich Russillo: Jay clutching at his chest while he slowly staggers up to his feet, BUT JOHNNY SPINS AROUND GOING FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! But before it can connect towards the skull of Jay, he manages to catch the leg of Johnny, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND GOING FOR A POWERBOMB TO DRIVE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! But before that can happen, Johnny begins to rain down punches on the head of Jay to get him to loosen the grip that he has on him! Jay is forced to bring Johnny down, WHILE JOHNNY RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A MONKEY FLIP!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN, JAY GRABS THE ARM OF JOHNNY BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH AN ARM DRAG! Johnny is taken down to the ground while Jay keeps ahold of his arm, UNWINDING HIM AND TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A BRUTAL RIPCORD LARIAT! Johnny drops down to the canvas but bounces up to a seated position due to the sheer impact, WHILE JAY TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK IN HOPES OF GOING FOR A PENALTY KICK TO HIS FACE! But Johnny manages to roll out of the way, allowing himself to get up to his feet before grabbing Jay and sending him towards the turnbuckle padding!
Persephone: Maybe asking him to do something good with his life was considered asking for too much at this point, because this is just sad.
Rich Russillo: JOHNNY RUNS TOWARDS JAY BACKED UP IN THE CORNER AND GOES FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! But it’s Jay that manages to use the ropes to elevate his body up and send a boot to the face of Johnny to send him backward! Johnny is forced to retreat back while he clutches onto his face trying to shake off the pain, but when he turns around he’s forced to see Jay jumping up to the top rope, WHILE HE LAUNCHES OFF AND TAKES JOHNNY DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BLOCKBUSTER! Jay isn’t done though, RUNNING THE ROPES AND LOOKING TO FOLLOW UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO CRUSH JOHNNY ON THE GROUND!
James Peters: BUT IT’S JOHNNY THAT MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE! Jay shoots up into the air and tumbles down to the canvas, while Johnny in a heartbeat manages to get himself up to his feet! JOHNNY WITH MARSHALL OF MAGNIFICENCE TO THE HEAD OF JAY! JAY IS KNOCKED OUT COLD WHILE JOHNNY CONNECTS WITH THE CARTWHEEL PELE KICK! JOHNNY HOOKING THE LEG, GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE-
Persephone: But unfortunately, it’s Jhit Juck Jsshole managing to get the shoulder up.
Rich Russillo: Did you just curse? :krabs:
Persephone: No, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you expect a freaking buzzer like whatever the fuck Ryan Wilson has to come down and fine me? It doesn’t work like that.
(Johnny sits up and looks down at Jay with a serious and cold expression on his face. The referee holds up two fingers to signify a two count which Johnny shoves away from his face, already getting the sign while he gets himself back up to his feet. It’s clear that, at the moment, he’s trying to compose a way to continue to lay the offense down on Jay.)
Rich Russillo: Johnny grabbing Jay by his hair and bringing him up to his feet, but it’s clear Jay isn’t going down quietly, as he begins to send shots towards his abdomen in hopes of keeping him at bay for the time being. But Johnny isn’t having that, grabbing him by his arm before sending him into an Irish whip towards the ropes! JOHNNY LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND LOOKING TO DROP HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP TO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: But Jay manages to land on his feet! Johnny turns around realizing that the move didn’t exactly go his way, WHILE JAY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TOWARDS HIS SKULL TO COMPLETELY TAKE HIM OFF GUARD! Jay makes his way towards a stunned Johnny, but Johnny manages to shove him away just in time! JOHNNY TRYING TO GO FOR ONE MORE MARSHALL OF MAGNIFICENCE! THE CARTWHEEL PELE KICK TO THE HEAD OF JAY TO KNOCK HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND SEND HIM TO THE MEDIC!
Persephone: But nope, they just keep prolonging the match like a bunch of stupid idiots.
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT WITH THAT, JAY USES THE MOMENTUM THAT JOHNNY HAS AND RUNS FORWARD, SENDING A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST TO SEND HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! Jay is clearly tired, but he’s shaking his head trying to fight through all of it. If there’s one thing he knows he needs to do right now, is make sure that the win is secured somehow for himself. Jay is slowly climbing up the turnbuckles, balancing himself on the middle turnbuckle and positioning himself while Johnny tries to get up to his feet! JAY JUMPING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AND ATTEMPTING A HORIZON LIMIT BREAK! THE CANADIAN DESTROYER TO DRIVE JOHNNY DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY!
James Peters: BUT WAIT! JOHNNY CATCHES HIM WITH SKULL CRACKER! THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT DRIVES JAY DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE JOHNNY MANAGES TO SWIFTLY FIND HIS WAY OUT OF THE MOVE ATTEMPT! JAY IS DOWN! JOHNNY HOOKING THE LEG AND ATTEMPTING A PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena once again to a solid mixed reaction while Johnny Andrews slowly sits up. He’s in a slight bit of pain while he grabs his head, shaking himself off while he begins to get up to his feet. He rises up to a vertical base while the referee makes their way over. The referee takes Johnny’s hand and raises it in victory while Johnny starts his celebration.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… JOHNNY ANDREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: I should be disappointed… but I’m used to getting let down by the Voltage roster at this point, so I can’t really be surprised about this.
Rich Russillo: What a match that we were able to witness tonight! It was clear both of them were looking to prove a point for their respective brands here tonight, but at the end of the day, it was Friday Night Dynasty that stood tall in this scenario. Jay fought a good fight, but at the end of the day, Johnny was just someone that got the better of him. Great effort by both, but congratulations to Johnny Andrews on his ceremonious victory!
(As JJJ is sitting on the ground dejected after losing. He slowly gets up, and starts walking toward the ramp when “Elevate” by DJ Khalil plays as Amir Yusuf walks out. Amir walks down the ramp, and into the ring right into the face of Triple J. They stare each other down with nothing being said, before Amir backs up a little, and produces a microphone. The New Breed Champion looks down at the belt that is strapped tightly around his waist and smirks as the crowd cheers for him.)
Amir Yusuf: Triple J, JJJ, Jay Jerry Johnson… Here I am back on Voltage, and it’s all because of you. At this point I might as well become a full member of Voltage don’t you think? Because you Voltage Elitists just can’t seem to keep my name out of your mouth. Unfortunately, I do think that the last time I showed up here due to the words of a Voltage Elitist, it was just a waste of time. I was disappointed by Lucas Johnson’s performance at Wicked Games, as he carried no momentum or confidence into our New Breed Championship match. I don’t want to face people who can’t put their whole heart into it. I don’t want to beat already broken Men, it doesn’t prove anything. I want to be the one to break the spirit of Men, who have all the confidence in the world. Someone like you Triple J; the Man that won that match at Wicked Games against Lucas Johnson and some others who tried their best but couldn’t get the job done. I wonder; would it have been a better challenge if it was you instead of Lucas Johnson to challenge me for the New Breed Championship?
(Amir looks Triple J up and down)
Amir Yusuf: After that performance tonight against Johnny Andrews.. I’m not so sure. You want to call me out, act like you’re this challenge for my title and then this is what you bring to the table to back it up? I can’t say I’m not disappointed. After what I went through with Lucas Johnson, I’m not looking to face off against another sub par talent, that just wastes my time you know? I want to actually give myself a challenge, I actually want to give people in the crowd a legitimate show. I’m not just handing out title matches because challenges are thrown my way. If that was the case I would have a thousand matches lined up from social media, fighting fans that think they can take me. You’re better than them right? You’re better than some fan that is too big for his britches right? Because I can tell you, facing off against Lucas was no different than fighting some fan from the internet who wants his 60 seconds of fame. I know what you’ve done, and I was all ready to accept your challenge.. But tonight? Might’ve put a damper on all of that.
(Triple J rakes a hand through his hair and shakes his head. He doesn’t want anyone to define him based on his performance tonight because he knows he’s capable of so much more.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Look I know what happened out here tonight doesn’t look great, but one off night doesn’t define who I am. We all know Triple J is the future, and present of this company, and you’d be best to recognize that. Losing tonight doesn’t change the fact that I won a huge match at Wicked Games, and beat a Man who got the title shot at you after the fact. I know that I am better than Lucas ever could hope to be, and you should just go ahead and give me the next shot at the New Breed Championship. Whether you want to disrespect me, and try to doubt that I can beat you. Or you give me all the respect in the world; it honestly doesn’t matter. No mindset is going to help or hurt you when we step in the ring. You are going to get beat by me, and I will become the new New Breed Champion. I can, and will beat you given the chance because I trust my abilities, and I know how low it will speak upon you if you neglect my challenge for your title. Lucas Johnson, and I aren’t even in the same stratosphere. You took the easy way out by accepting a challenge from a bum who has had 20 years to make a dent in this company, and has failed to do so. That’s who you chose to put the title on the line, knowing that you would have no problem beating him. Now you have a legit challenger, and all you can do is talk about the negative? Tonight? There’s so much more to me than tonight, face it.
(Amir nods. Triple J is making a compelling argument and no one can disagree with that.)
Amir Yusuf: I just want to remind you that you harassed Lucas Johnson incessantly week after week because you thought he was a waste of roster space; because you thought he was disrespecting the last name that you share. Only to come out and basically do the same thing that he does on a week to week basis. Maybe it’s just a Johnson surname way of life; talk a big game, and fall flat on his face? Would I be wrong with that assessment? From what I can see you follow some similarities with him. See I’m just trying to do what’s best for me and the New Breed Championship. You say that I’m only pointing out the negatives, but I’m just trying to grasp the entire situation. I don’t want another dud Johnson and you can understand that. There’s a lot of people in EAW just talk, and talk, and say how great they are, but can never actually prove to anyone that they are who they say they are. We’ve seen it a thousand times. Lucas Johnson is just one of many in a long line of delusional Men that can’t see themselves for who they truly are. Or they do see it, and they just can’t come to grips that their hopes and dreams just aren’t ever going to pan out. And at this stage, getting this close to actually be in this company, and getting so far.. It makes those failures that much worse doesn’t it? And while I don’t want to believe that you’re following the same path as him.. Who can really say right?
Jay Jerry Johnson: I can say.. I won that match at Wicked Games, and my career is just starting. I am not Lucas Johnson, not even close. The New Breed Championship is right in my wheelhouse, I’m not some bumbling idiot still trying to get the new comers title in my 15th year in this company. Once I win that title, I move onto something bigger, and better. But in the process I will make that title be one of the most must see parts of the show week in, and week out. I won’t deny you’ve done pretty well with it, I can guarantee that I would do better.
(Amir gives out a little sigh)
Amir Yusuf: While I would like to remind you, you are not in the driver’s seat here. You do not dictate what does and does not happen with this title.. I do have to agree that you are the type of competitor that could give me the type of challenge that I crave. That match at Wicked Games does show the type of competitor that you can be. So I will decide to wash tonight’s match off of your record, and neglect it ever happening. I do believe that you are capable of more.
(Amir stops and thinks for a little)
Amir Yusuf: Congratulations Triple J, you got your match. I will put the New Breed Championship on the line at Road to Redemption against you. I do hope that you decide to bring a different energy at Road To Redemption than you brought tonight against Johnny Andrews tonight
Jay Jerry Johnson: You have nothing to worry about with that, because I am going to bring championship energy. This isn’t some persona that I’m putting on to get in your head, this is who I am. I know how good I am, I know what I bring to the table. You might have just made the biggest mistake in your career, and you don’t even know it yet. You can see me as who I am tonight, or you can view me as the competitor as I truly am, doesn’t matter. When it’s all said and done, at Road To Redemption, I am going to be the NEW New Breed Champion.
(The two share an intense handshake, and Triple J rolls out of the ring. “Elevate” by Khalil starts to play again. Amir looks around the crowd holding the New Breed Championship, as the camera fades to black)
( Once again, our scene opens up backstage. In one of the more private areas of the KeyBank Center, Myles and Minerva appear to be having a moment. Their arms are wrapped around one another and Minerva seems to be laughing at something. The camera creeps close enough to catch the conversation. )
Minerva: Of course it was me who put the mistletoe in her lockerroom. I knew Drake was going to talk to her, so I decided to do a little matchmaking.
Myles: You’re determined to force the issue, aren’t you?
( Minerva merely shrugs her shoulders. )
Minerva: Drake needs to loosen up, and Camille is perfect for him. Besides, no one really believes the two of them hate one another. They’re legitimately in denial. No way they would have kissed that passionately if they weren’t into one another.
Myles: I mean, you kinda set that up.
Minerva: :mjlol2: As long as they credit me at their wedding, I’m good.
Myles: Drake is wallowing in his own self-pity now because he committed a sin and stepped out on Sierra. The last thing he’s thinking about is whether or not he enjoyed kissing Camille.
Minerva: Babe, the reason he’s so upset is because he DID enjoy it. It was written all over his face even after Camille slapped him. Besides, let Drake wallow. He needs something else to think about. I don’t think he’s going to be a happy camper next week.
( Myles takes a deep breath. )
Myles: So you’re going to go through with it?
Minerva: I know in my heart of hearts that I’m right about Captain Charisma. Last week, I wanted to grab Drake and shake him. He’s riding a high and refusing to see any other vision but his own. You know that we have made our names in matches like the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Snuffing out the dreams of other people is what got us here. If it’s not broken…
Myles: Don’t fix it.
Minerva: Exactly. When the smoke clears and Drake is still reigning as the EAW World Champion, he will see that I made the right decision for us. We’ve come too far to let Captain Charisma take things from us now. It’s absolutely our right to put together this chamber and end our detractors for good. For the rest of Drake’s championship reign, none of these people can challenge for the EAW World Championship again, and with Drake reigning for the foreseeable future, we’re going to be sitting in the driver’s seat for the rest of the season.
( Myles slowly nods his head. He is in agreement with Minerva, even if it means going against Drake’s wishes. At the end of the day, Myles and Minerva both agreed on what was best for New Eden and that was making sure Captain Charisma couldn’t screw them over in the end. )
Myles: I see what you’re saying. Granted, we always have a back-up in the Cash in the Vault briefcase, but I would rather not use it. I don’t want to be the world champion. That title means absolutely nothing to me, but if it keeps it out of the hands of whoever else, then so be it. I’ll make the sacrifice.
( Minerva smiled and tightened her arms around the waist of her boyfriend. Myles truly was special. When it came to her and even their group, New Eden, Myles didn’t have a selfish bone in his body. Minerva wanted to make sure he didn’t have to go against his principles and cash in that briefcase. )
Minerva: At the end of the day, it’s about what’s best for New Eden.
( The couple go to kiss but there’s a bit of commotion that pulls them apart. Security guards are rushing onto the scene, taking off towards one of the back entrances. Myles and Minerva quickly run to follow them. They come to a halt as Ryan Wilson is seen beating the absolute shit out of everyone with a barbed wire wrapped hockey stick. )
Minerva: THAT MAN IS BANNED FROM THE BUILDING!
( Ryan, who dispatches of another security, points the hockey stick at the two New Eden members. )
Ryan Wilson: Well I have a score to settle now that my chance at the EAW World Championship has been taken away.
( The is when the voices of the Voltage commentary team take over. )
Rich Russillo: HERE WE GO! RYAN TAKES A SWING AT BOTH MYLES AND MINERVA FORCING THEM BACK! Both members of New Eden realize they need to take down Ryan, but that doesn’t mean they can do it so easily with a vicious weapon gripped in his hand! MYLES GOING TO RYAN’S LEFT WHILE MINERVA STEPS FORWARD AND SENDS A FOREARM TO THE SIDE OF RYAN’S HEAD! THAT STIRRED RYAN ENOUGH FOR MYLES TO ENGAGE AND BOTH OF THEM ATTACK THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION LIKE A PACK OF WOLVES NOW! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RYAN FEARED, BUT CAN HE MANAGE TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION?!
James Peters: BUT RYAN ISN’T GOING DOWN QUIETLY, HE TAKES THE BLUNT END OF THE BARBED WIRE HOCKEY STICK AND JABS IT INTO THE ABDOMEN OF MYLES FORCING HIM BACK, BEFORE SENDING A BACK ELBOW TO THE HEAD OF MINERVA! RYAN GRIPPING THE HOCKEY STICK IN HAND, JUST CRACKED IT AGAINST THE HEAD OF MINERVA!
( Minerva screams in pain while Ryan uses his boot to kick her in the kneecap, ripping the barbed wire right out of her flesh like a band-aid. Minerva is beginning to pour blood while Ryan grips onto it and swings for the fences once more! )
Persephone: BUT THE GINGER DWARF JUST TOOK ONE OF THOSE PRODUCTION CRATES AND PUSHED IT INTO RYAN BEFORE HE COULD EXECUTE A FATAL BLOW!
Rich Russillo: THE ROLLING PRODUCTION CRATE SLAMS INTO THE SIDE OF RYAN, BUT RYAN GRIPS AHOLD OF IT AND PUSHES IT RIGHT BACK TOWARDS MYLES! MYLES MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, BUT IT’S ENOUGH OF A DISTRACTION FOR RYAN TO RUN FORWARD AND USE THE HOCKEY STICK AS A BATTERING RAM BARGING RIGHT INTO MYLES AND TACKLING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND SWIFTLY!
James Peters: RYAN IS BRINGING THE FIGHT TO NEW EDEN RIGHT NOW, BUT LOOK! MINERVA FROM BEHIND GOING BELOW THE BELT AND SENDING A LOW BLOW TOWARDS THE GROIN OF RYAN COMPLETELY HALTING HIM IN HIS TRACKS!
( Ryan drops down to a knee while Minerva gets back up to her feet and makes her way over to Myles, checking on him while he nods his head. Both of them are back up, absolutely livid at the audacity of Ryan right now. Ryan is scrunching his face while clutching onto the hockey stick for dear life. Both Myles and Minerva look at one another while they approach Ryan… )
Persephone: BUT RYAN SHEDS MORE BLOOD AS HE SLAMS THE HOCKEY STICK AGAINST THE HEAD OF MINERVA BEFORE GOING UNDER THE BELT AND CONNECTING WITH A LOW BLOW OF HIS OWN TO MYLES THIS TIME! YEAH! BEAT THEM THE FRICK UP, MAKE THEM PAY!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA TRYING TO PRY THE BARBED WIRE HOCKEY STICK OFF OF HER FACE, BUT IT’S RYAN THAT PULLS HER IN AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH TOWARDS HER FACE KNOCKING HER DOWN TO THE CONCRETE GROUND! RYAN ONCE AGAIN PRYING THE HOCKEY STICK OFF OF MINERVA AND DROPPING IT DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE HE GRABS MYLES!
James Peters: BUT MYLES ISN’T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT, ATTEMPTING TO SLAM WEAK PUNCHES TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN OF RYAN IN HOPES OF STUNNING HIM, BUT IT’S RYAN THAT SENDS A KNEE TO HIS FACE NOW! MYLES IS COMPLETELY STUNNED AT THE MOMENT, BEFORE RYAN SENDS ANOTHER ONE FOR GOOD MEASURE! RYAN IS SETTING HIM UP NOW!
Persephone: OOO!!! OOO!!! CRACK THEIR SKULL WIDE OPEN! GIVE THEM INTERNAL BLEEDING! MAKE THEM FREAKING CRY!
Rich Russillo: ‘MIC DROP’ ONTO THE BARBED WIRE HOCKEY STICK! THE SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER SPLITS MYLES’ HEAD RIGHT IN HALF UPON IMPACT AND YOU KNOW THAT JUST HAD TO HURT! HE’S POURING OUT BLOOD AND IS JUST AS OUT AS MINERVA IS RIGHT NOW! LIKE IT OR NOT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, RYAN WILSON STANDS TALL OVER TWO-THIRDS OF NEW EDEN TONIGHT!
( Ryan begins to help himself up to his feet, scrunching his face for a moment still feeling the effects of New Eden’s efforts to combat him, but still surviving regardless.He looks down at his work along with the security guards that he laid out earlier, only able to respond with a smirk knowing the hell that he’s unleashed tonight. He takes a moment, speaking down to them while he dusts himself off. )
Ryan Wilson: So, banned from the building huh? I’d love to see you try and stop me now.
( Ryan turns around and steps over the two of them, making his way out of the camera scene and into the arena with absolutely no commotion as well. The camera then begins to pan downward to show the unconscious bodies of Myles and Minerva, which are the last shots seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade to elsewhere. )
(The camera now focuses back to the center of the ring where Bella Braxton is standing, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: …and it is an INTERBRANDED MATCH!!
(“ULTRAnumb” by Blue Stahli starts to play as Cameron Ella Eva enters the area to loud and thunderous cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, making her way to the ring. She is from Los Angeles, California. Weighing in at 140 pounds. She is “THE GODDESS”…CAMERON…ELLA…AVA!!
James Peters: Listen to the ovation for the lovely Cameron Ella Ava. The crowd is showing their adoration and their respect for “The Goddess”. As Bella Braxton mentioned, this is an inter-brand match with Showdown vs. Voltage coming up next.
Persephone: Why is she here? Couldn’t they have brought someone over from Showdown who is less nausea-inducing? How about Veena Adams? She’s so amazing. We need her permanently on Voltage.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, sure, whatever. Why shouldn’t Cameron be here? This is just another great example of the EAW Talent Exchange. I’m personally glad to see Cameron Ella Ava here on Voltage this week in action.
James Peters: I agree with you, Rich. There’s very few competitors in EAW today, man or woman, who have the extensive resume like Cameron. She accomplished so much in her career and she’s still going and looking to accomplish more. Will this keep her momentum going? Because her opponent can be dangerous.
(Cameron enters the ring, waving to the crowd as she takes her place in the corner and stretches as her entrance theme fades off. After a few seconds of silence, “Age-Age Money by LADYBABY” starts to play as Miku Sakai enters the area with the EAW Specialists Championship around her waist to deafening boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing her opponent!! Making her way to the ring from Fukui, Japan. Weighing in at 110 pounds. She is the reigning EAW Specialists Champion…MIKU SAKAI!!
Rich Russillo: Now here comes the reigning Specialists Champion making her way to the ring. She’s still got to be riding a high after her title defense at Wicked Games. Last week, she had a little face to face with her next challenger in Harper Lee.
James Peters: But what I remember is what happened at the end of their little confrontation. I wonder what was going through the mind of Miku Sakai. I wonder what’s going through the mind of Harper Lee right now.
Persephone: You’re sickening! Out of all the crap that you could have talked about, you brought up that stinking kiss? You are such a pervert! I expect that stuff from Rich, but not from you. Good grief!
Rich Russillo: What’s that supposed to mean? I only have eyes for you.
Persephone: I think I am going to puke.
James Peters: Regardless, this match is going to be very tough and very hard hitting. Let’s see if Miku Sakai can hang with the likes of Cameron Ella Eva.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Alright, here we go. Referee calls for the bell. This match is Showdown vs. Voltage. Who will have the bragging rights after this match? Cameron is looking to lock up in the center of the ring, but Miku is having none of it. Cameron went for Miku, but Miku ducked out of the way and went into the ropes for safety.
Rich Russillo: Do you think that the Specialists Champion is having second thoughts against fighting against the likes of Cameron Ella Ava? The match has just started and she’s already backtracking.
Persephone: You have got to be kidding me! Are you stupid? I don’t like either one of these two, but I know for sure that she is not having second thoughts against that Ava thing. Just like she wasn’t scared against Harper Lee.
Rich Russillo: Cameron is a competitor who doesn’t like to play around. She is strictly business when the bell rings. There’s a reason she has been so successful, and it isn’t all from playing around. Cameron doesn’t look amused, and it looks like now Miku Sakai is ready to start this match.
James Peters: Lock up in the center of the ring. Cameron takes the early advantage of the match with a quick hip toss taking Sakai down. Cameron still has the arm of Sakai and Sakai is trying to break free. Sakai makes it to the ropes and does a nice little backflip to get her arm free and SAKAI WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE OF CAMERON!
Persephone: Do it again! That was great! These Ava’s need slapped so much more often. Aww. Now look at poor Cameron. She does not look happy at all. Big whoop!
Rich Russillo: Cameron is not happy at all and she is running towards Miku and Miku makes it to the ropes on the other side. Miku’s yelling at the referee to get Cameron back and now something has got Miku distracted. What is with all this booing?
(The crowd is booing loudly as Harper Lee makes her way to ringside. Miku doesn’t like that at all.)
James Peters: Speaking of Harper Lee, here she is. Harper Lee looks like she wants an up close and personal view of who she will be challenging at Road to Redemption. Miku isn’t happy about that! Look at the face of Miku. She looks very annoyed with Harper showing her face around her match.
Persephone: Dingbat needs to stay focused on said match because she’s going to lose if she doesn’t get back to this cruddy match. For example, look at the Ava spawn take advantage of what’s going on and rolls her up with a schoolboy.
ONNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWW—
Rich Russillo: Sakai kicks out before two. Harper has such a smirk on her face because Miku almost got caught so early in the match up. Cameron has the advantage and takes Sakai down with a snap suplex, but Cameron doesn’t let go. Both ladies up again and Ava with another snap suplex. Once more, both ladies are back up and Cameron hits the trifecta.
James Peters: HOLD ON! CAMERON CHANGES IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND HITS A FALCON ARROW INSTEAD! NICE MOVE BY THE HALL OF FAMER! SAKAI’S SHOULDERS DOWN ONCE AGAIN!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOO!!
THHHRRR-
Rich Russillo: Sakai kicks out after two. Sakai might be a little distracted right now, but she’s not going to go down that easy from just a few suplexes.
Persephone: That’s not what I hear….
James Peters: OH COME ON! Where did you hear rumors about Miku Sakai like that? Be nice!
Persephone: We were talking about her? Ohhhhhh. I thought we were talking about the Ava spawn going down easy. My mistake.
Rich Russillo: Anyways, Cameron Ella Ava has had full control of this match ever since Harper Lee made it to ringside. If Miku can’t get Harper out of her head, it’s going to cost her this match! Cameron brings Miku back to her feet and whips her to the corner. Cameron at full speed into the corner, but Miku with a boot right to the jaw of Cameron.
James Peters: Sakai pulls Cameron into the corner and sits on her back. Sakai setting up for the Sunset Bomb, but look at Harper Lee! HARPER LEE ON THE APRON, DISTRACTING MIKU SAKAI ONCE AGAIN! THE REFEREE TELLING HARPER TO GET OFF THE APRON! Harper finally listening to the referee, but Sakai took way too much time and Cameron grabs the legs of Sakai and walks to the center of the ring. Miku Sakai is in deep trouble. ALABAMA SLAM BY CAMERON ELLA AVA! MIKU SAKAI ALMOST HAD A WHIPLASH EFFECT FROM THAT!
Persephone: What an idiot! Why is she letting her get thrown off so badly? This is ridiculous! She is the Specialists Champion. She should be wrestling at a higher level than what she is right now. Just end this now. Miku is embarrassing herself right now.
James Peters: Cameron electing to not go for the cover and wants to cause more damage to the Specialists Champion. Just from the look on Cameron’s face right now, I am going to guess that Cameron is feeling a little underwhelmed with this match. She doesn’t seem too impressed.
Persephone: Well DUH! From what I’ve heard, this Ava spawn thrives competitive matches when she’s not at home watching soap operas and eating Hershey’s kisses on her couch. I guess she doesn’t like the lame attempt at a frontal assault from the little kid. All because of the ugly pixie thing outside the ring. Stupid ref should just end this match and put everybody out of their misery. ESPECIALLY ME!
Rich Russillo: Cameron grabs the legs once again of Miku Sakai and readjusts her. Ava falls back and Sakai goes flying. SLINGSHOT! LASSO OF TRUTH USED TO PERFECTION AND SAKAI GOES SAILING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! Harper Lee for the first time since showing up has been keeping her distance and staying out of the way.
James Peters: Cameron catches Sakai recovering and now it looks like it’s Cameron’s turn to fly. Cameron hits the far side ropes and runs back to the side Sakai is on. Sakai back to her feet and I don’t think she aware what’s about to come. AVA THROUGH THE ROPES! SUICIDE DIVE!!
Rich Russillo: SAKAI GETS OUT OF THE WAY! CAMERON CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! NOTHING BUT THE MATS ON THE OUTSIDE! SHE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD LANDING! SHE MIGHT HAVE LANDED ON HER HEAD WHEN SHE HIT THE FLOOR!
Persephone: We can only hope that she landed on her neck and hurt herself. If I’m lucky, she injures herself and can’t wrestle again. Then she can stay at home with her loser of a hubby, and we won’t ever have to see either of them ever again!
James Peters: Don’t you have anything nice to say about any of the Ava family or any woman for that matter? You’re always so negative.
Persephone: I told you already! If it was always awesome Veena Adams instead of this Ava reject, I would be in a much better mood. I mean Veena is so awesome!
Rich Russillo: Well, my queen, we don’t have Veena here to compete tonight. Now back to the match. Miku Sakai has control for the first time in this match and rolls Cameron back into the ring and LOOK AT HARPER LEE AGAIN! HARPER LEE DISTRACTING MIKU SAKAI FROM GETTING IN THE RING! SHE PULLS SAKAI OFF THE APRON AND BACK TO THE FLOOR! THE REF WAS WITH CAMERON AND DIDN’T SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED! HARPER ROLLS MIKU BACK INTO THE RING! Sakai back to her feet and she is yelling at Harper Lee! All Harper is doing is laughing at Miku.
James Peters: MIKU HAS HARPER BY THE HAIR!! SHE WANTS TO MAKE HARPER PAY! MIKU PULLING HARPER ONTO THE APRON BY HER HAIR! The referee sees what’s going on and is telling Miku to let go of the hair? Why? Harper Lee started it.
Rich Russillo: Miku isn’t listening to the referee, and Cameron has recovered enough and delivered a dropkick to the back of Miku Sakai’s head. Miku lets go of Harper and Harper falls back to the floor. Cameron with a waist lock and hoists Sakai back with a German Suplex. Sakai lands on the back of her head.
James Peters: Cameron has mounted Sakai and is delivering lefts and rights to the head of the Specialist’s Champion. The referee admonishes Cameron, but she continues to keep punching Miku in the head.
Persephone: Why is the referee even trying to talk to Cameron? The lights are on and nobody’s home. If you’re going to try and tell anything to Cameron, use pictures. The silicone has affected her IQ too much. Now Ava thing picks up the other person and whips her to the ropes.
James Peters: Sakai rebounds and ducks the roundhouse kick attempt from Cameron. Sakai looks to hit the ropes again. Sakai hits the ropes, BUT HARPER TRIES TO GRAB THE ANKLE OF MIKU SAKAI AND MISSED! Miku changes her course very quickly and turns once again to Harper Lee! The two ladies are once again arguing with each other. Miku has enough of Harper for the moment. Sakai is completely thrown off her game and Cameron once again makes her pay. SAVATE KICK TO THE JAW OF MIKU SAKAI! HARPER LEE ONCE AGAIN A FACTOR IN THIS MATCH!!
Rich Russillo: Look at Cameron Ella Ava now! She has dropped back to the mat and is doing push-ups. She does her standard ten and stands back up. She’s showing that Miku is going to have to turn her game up in this match a few notches just to keep Cameron interested.
James Peters: Now that Cameron is annoyed with what could be considered as a waste of her time, Cameron picks up Miku and whips her back into the corner. Cameron with a corner clothesline and pulls her out of the corner. Ava with her legs around the waist of Miku Sakai. AVA FLIPS AND MIKU SAKAI JUST TOOK A TRIP ON SUNSET BOULEVARD! THE SUNSET BOMB WORKED FOR CAMERON AS SHE STACKS MIKU UP FOR THE PIN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE—
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT AT TWO! MIKU SAKAI MIGHT NOT BE POPULAR BUT SHE HAS A LOT OF TENACITY! SHE MIGHT BE A LITTLE OUTMATCHED BUT SHE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!!
Persephone: Well, the little girl should just quit now! She can have all the tenacity in the world, but it doesn’t mean squat when you’re facing the power of silicone. That and this match is so boring.
James Peters: I would hardly call this match boring. Cameron is showing the skill that has defined her career and Miku Sakai is showing what has made her a very much talked about Elitists here on Voltage.
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava keeps Miku Sakai in the corner and slams her back down to the mat. Cameron looks to fly once again as she climbs to the top rope. Sakai hasn’t moved and CAMERON FLIES AGAIN!
James Peters: KNEES UP! CAMERON ATTEMPTS THE CORKSCREW MOONSAULT, BUT MIKU SAKAI GETS THE KNEES UP IN A COUNTER EFFORT!
Persephone: Stupid silicone nitwit. If at first it doesn’t succeed, high flying is NOT for you. I don’t know why she thought that this would be any differently. Anyways, watch out for messes in the ring. Ava spawn got knees in the chest. We might have a silicone leak in the ring because of that. Bahahahaha!
Rich Russillo: Both women are down, and the referee starts the count.
Persephone: Just say TEN, ref! Call it a draw and they both lose! Fitting enough because they are both losers in my book. Neither of them can hold a candle to Veena Adams.
James Peters: Both women are back to their feet at eight! And now both women are having a slugfest in the middle of the ring. WHICH WOMAN WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE? MIKU! AVA! MIKU! AVA! MIKU! AVA! MIKU! AVA! MIKU! AVA!
Rich Russillo: Cameron gets the advantage with a leg sweep in the corner. Miku back down to the mat face first and Cameron grabs her arm. ARMBAR!! CAMERON WITH THE ARMBAR!! NOW SHE’S MOVING! TRIANGLE! CAMERON WITH THE TRIANGLE CHOKE ON MIKU SAKAI! MIKU TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET FREE! IF SHE CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING, SHE’S GONNA HAVE TO GIVE IT UP!
Persephone: YES! She’s starting to pass out! I hate both these women, so having one of these two just pass out like the rocks they are is probably the best I’m going to get from this match. Sad day! Now I need my Rexy more than ever.
James Peters: LOOK! PASSING OUT IS THE LAST THING SHE WANTS TO DO! SAKAI FLIPS FORWARD! SAKAI COUNTERS THE TRIANGLE WITH A JACKKNIFE PIN! CAMERON’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Persephone: Why in the world did she have to kick out?!? WE COULD HAVE ENDED THIS MATCH!! THEY JUST HATE ME!!
James Peters: I don’t think they are doing this to spite you. These two are tenacious competitors wanting to win this match. Miku Sakai just pulled off the best move she could, not only did she almost catch Cameron, but she also got Cameron to break the triangle choke. She is showing why exactly she is a former Tag Team Champion and what exactly got her the Specialists Championship.
Rich Russillo: MIKU NOW RETURNING THE FAVOR! MIKU NOW POUNDING HER FISTS INTO THE FACE OF CAMERON!! MIKU SAKAI HAS HAD ENOUGH OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SHOW HER TALENTS AND NOW SHE IS!
Persephone: Good for her, I guess. Now she hits the ropes and delivers a running dropkick to the face of the Ava thing.
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai pulls Cameron up by the hair and tries to whip her into the ropes, but Cameron counters. Miku hits the ropes and COUNTERS INTO A HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER! Cameron taken for a ride as Sakai comes back and hits Ava with a nice jumping snapmare. WHAT A FLURRY BY THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!
James Peters: Cameron seated after the snapmare and MIKU CATCHES HER WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! CAMERON CERTAINLY FELT THAT ONE! MIKU SAKAI IS CERTAINLY IMPRESSIVE TONIGHT WITH THIS RUN OF OFFENSE!
Persephone: Yeah yeah. She is starting to impress. Blah Blah blah! Is this thing over yet?
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai once again whips Cameron into the ropes. Cameron with the rebound and RIGHT INTO A HIP ATTACK BY SAKAI! SAKAI LETS OUT A SCREAM OF ENERGY AND LOOKS READY TO FINISH THE MATCH! SHE IS CALLING FOR CAMERON TO GET UP!
James Peters: CAMERON BACK TO HER FEET AND MIKU SAKAI IS GOING FOR THE NIGHT NIGHT FACEBREAKER! BUT CAMERON SHOWING HER STRENGTH AND HER BALANCE. SHE IS NOT LETTING MIKU EXECUTE THE NIGHT NIGHT! AVA GRABS THE NECK OF SAKAI AND READJUSTS MIKU’S POSITION!
Rich Russillo: SAKAI NOW ON THE SHOULDERS OF CAMERON! CAMERON LOOKS READY TO PUT DOWN THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! DOWN SHE GOES!! BREAKING BARRIERS! CAMERON GOT ALL OF THAT BACKBREAKER AND MIGHT HAVE MESSED UP THE SPINE OF MIKU SAKAI!! THIS MATCH LOOKS OVER! CAMERON GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
…
THHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!!!
…
…
James Peters: MIKU GETS THE SHOULDER UP! MIKU GETS THE SHOULDER UP! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!! THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION IS STILL IN THIS MATCH! HOLY PLOT TWIST!! SHE IS SHOWING WHY SHE IS A CHAMPION RIGHT NOW AND CAMERON IS STUNNED! SHE THOUGHT THAT THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Persephone: What is wrong with her? She’s… She’s smiling?!?!? Her opponent just kicked out of one of your finishing moves and you’re smiling. I always knew those da.. darn Ava sisters were never right in the head.
Rich Russillo: My queen, don’t you remember what you said earlier? Cameron craves competition and right now she’s finally getting what she’s been desiring this whole match. Cameron finally sees the fire coming from Miku Sakai. She now understands the talk around the locker room about this rookie taking the EAW World by storm.
James Peters: Cameron brings Sakai once again back to her feet, but SAKAI COUNTERS WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE PULL THAT OFF? CAMERON’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHRREEEEEEEE—
Rich Russillo: CAMERON KICKS OUT AT TWO! CAMERON BACK TO HER FEET A LITTLE FASTER, BUT MIKU HAS CAMERON BY THE EYES!! FEEL THY WRATH!! CLAW OF THE EYES BY SAKAI!! CAMERON TRYING TO GET THE STING OUT, BUT SAKAI ROLLS HER UP!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Persephone: CHEATER!! THE LITTLE CHEATER HAS THE ROPES! Ref? REEEFFFFFFF! SHE’S HOLDING THE ROPES!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
THRRRRRRRRRRRREEEE!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: CAMERON GETS FREE!! CAMERON KICKS OUT AT TWO!! MIKU SAKAI WENT BACK TO HER BAG OF TRICKS AND CAMERON ALMOST GOT CAUGHT!! Sakai whips Cameron to the ropes but Cameron counters, but not before Miku counters again. Cameron back first into the corner and Miku runs full speed towards Cameron.
Rich Russillo: Monkey flip out of the corner and Cameron is sent for a ride. Sakai back on the second rope waiting for Cameron to make it back to her feet. Ava back to her feet and SAKAI WITH A TORNADO DDT! CAMERON SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! THAT’S HAD TO KNOCK CAMERON A LITTLE LOOPY.
Persephone: Oh please, she already was loopy. Maybe that shot to the head will make her a little smarter. Because gawd knows she’s missing a few brain cells in that head of hers. Maybe it’s the chemicals from the hair dye she uses. She is getting a little on the old side.
James Peters: I’m just going to ignore that. Cameron is down and not moving after that beautiful Tornado DDT. Miku Sakai is riding the wave of this second wind as long as she possibly can. She could have gone for the pin after the DDT, but she’s aware that it wouldn’t finish her off. Now Miku Sakai is climbing to the top rope. I think the Specialists Champion is ready to finish this match and pick up a humungous victory.
(Harper Lee slides a kendo stick that she got from under the ring into the ring. The referee grabs the kendo stick and takes it outside the ring.)
Persephone: What is this weirdo doing? Can’t she buzz off and let this match end already? The sooner this Ava spawn goes away, the better my life will be.
Rich Russillo: Harper Lee has been doing whatever she could during this match to throw Miku Sakai off her game. Now she just slid a kendo stick into the ring.
(With the referee distracted, Harper shoves Miku off the top turnbuckle and Miku catches her throat on the top rope.)
James Peters: THE KENDO STICK WAS A DECOY!! HARPER LEE ONCE AGAIN MAKING HER PRESENCE FELT IN THIS MATCH!! MIKU WAS GOING FOR THE WALK OF SHAME, BUT HARPER SENDS HER THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE AND REFEREE HAS NO IDEA!
Rich Russillo: SAKAI ON HER KNEES AND CAMERON LOOKS TO FINISH HER OFF WITH THE GODDESS RISING! AXE KICK CAUGHT THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! I THINK SHE’S AWARE NOW THAT HARPER INTERFERED AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
TWWWWWWOOOOO!!
…
…
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
…
…
James Peters: MIKU GRABBING FOR THE ROPES, BUT IT’S TOO LATE! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“ULTRAnumb” starts playing again as Cameron rolls off of Miku. Harper rolls into the ring, laughing and pointing at the defeated Miku Sakai.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…CAMERON…ELLA…AVA!
Rich Russillo: What a match!! This could have been one of the best non-title affairs in recent memory, but you have to believe that it has been tarnished a bit due to the repeated interferences of Harper Lee.
(The referee raises Cameron’s hand in victory as Cameron has a disgusted look on her face. Harper Lee is still looking at Miku, proud of her handiwork.)
James Peters: Look at the face of Cameron. She is not happy at all. Towards the end of the match, Cameron was getting excited for the fight that Miku Sakai was bringing. I think everybody knows that Cameron wanted the win, but I doubt Cameron wanted the win this way.
Persephone: She should just be happy that she got a win. It rarely even happens for her anymore.
Rich Russillo: But what about last week when she….
Persephone: Oh just shut up.
James Peters: You got to hand it to Miku Sakai. Miku was about to pick up what some would consider an upset victory on more than one occasion. She fought her heart out, but thanks to Miku’s number one contender, she walks away without the win tonight.
(Cameron goes to leave the ring, but Harper stops her in her tracks wanting to go for a high five for helping Cameron.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Congrats, Cameron. Now how about a nice thank you for my troubles?
(Cameron is not amused at the moment and completely shoves Harper out of her way. Harper lands on her butt and looks at Cameron leaving the ring in shock.)
James Peters: Troubles? Harper Lee did nothing but CAUSE trouble. Either way, it looks like Harper Lee just got her thank you. But it wasn’t the gratitude she wanted from Cameron Ella Ava.
Persephone: Selfish wench! Didn’t anybody teach Cameron some manners? That’s not how you show gratitude to the person who helped you win the match.
Rich Russillo: That wasn’t to help Cameron. It was to screw over Miku in any way she can.
(Cameron is walking back up the ramp, not bothering to look back at Harper. Meanwhile, Harper is glaring up the ramp at Cameron, not happy that she believes that she has been disrespected once again.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME? I HANDED YOU THE MATCH ON A SILVER PLATTER AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DISRESPECT ME LIKE THAT? YOU ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!
(As Harper is screaming at Cameron, Miku Sakai has since recovered and is back on her feet. Miku is angry and she uses Harper having her back turned to her to her advantage. Miku runs full speed and clobbers Harper in the back of the head.)
James Peters: Look at Miku!! She is angry and she wants to make Harper Lee pay for costing her what you could consider Miku’s biggest victory of her young career. Look at Miku pounding her fists into the back of the head of Harper Lee.
Persephone: What a sore loser!! I don’t see why she’s getting so huffy about losing this match. It’s not like she lost her title. Then again, I don’t care what they do to each other. Let them knock the snot out of each other. Whatever!
(Miku drags Harper back to her feet by the hair not before using the hair to fling Harper out of the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Look at what the Specialists Champion is doing to her challenger. She looks to utterly decimate her Number one Contender. Miku brings Harper back to her feet and bounces her face off the ring apron. Now she grabs Harper by the waist and SENDS HER BACK FIRST AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE RING!
(Harper falls to the floor and Miku picks her head up by the hair and starts screaming in her face.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) Is this the respect that you wanted? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED??
Persephone: Yeah, that’s what everybody wants. The little mouthy girl holding the Specialists Title screaming in her face. What is that nitwit doing now?
(Miku walks over to the timekeepers, shoves the timekeeper out of the way, and grabs the steel chair.)
James Peters: She’s dangerous enough of a competitor and now she grabs a steel chair! Why does she plan on doing with that?
Persephone: What do you think, Sherlock? What does a wrestler do with a steel chair? Good grief, I am surrounded by idiots.
(Miku Sakai is gearing up to attack as Harper Lee makes it back to feet. Not before…)
*WHACK*
Rich Russillo: WHAT A SHOT!! MIKU SAKAI WITH THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE FACE OF HARPER LEE! HARPER LEE HOLDING HER FACE IN PAIN!! MIKU SAKAI HAS SNAPPED!!
James Peters: She hasn’t snapped! She is fed up with Harper Lee sticking her nose in business that doesn’t concern her. Look at Miku Sakai! She is bouncing Harper’s face off the chair.
(Miku pulls Harper’s face up by the hair and we can see that Harper is bleeding from the nose.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? ARE YOU READY TO BE CHAMPION NOW? BECAUSE
*WHACK*
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I
*WHACK*
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) DON’T
*WHACK*
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) THINK
*WHACK*
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) YOU ARE!
*WHACK*
Persephone: OHH YES!! WE HAVE SOME BLOOD!! Don’t stop now! Bust her whole face open.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know what she has in mind, but she brings the bloody Harper to her feet and has her chin on her shoulder. She flips back…
James Peters: DEATH NOTE ON THE STEEL CHAIR! THE BACK OF HARPER LEE’S HEAD CRACKED AGAINST THE CHAIR FROM THAT ASAI DDT!! HARPER LEE IS OUT COLD!! Miku Sakai has now grabbed her Specialists Championship. What is she going to do now?
Persephone: If we’re lucky, she’ll crack Harper in the head with the belt!! Come on and bust her open!
(Miku walks over to Harper, looking to hit her with the belt. Instead she just spits on her challenger.)
Persephone: That isn’t blood. That’s disgusting!!
James Peters: But it is symbolic of what Miku Sakai thinks of her challenger. Equivalent to the dirt that she spits on… or a simp. Either way. After all this, is Harper Lee still happy that she is the number one contender? Road to Redemption is going to be interesting between these two.
(Miku puts her foot on Harper’s knocked out body and raises the Specialists Championship above her head as the scene fades elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption, promoting the Universal Women’s Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
(Voltage fades back to the stage, and ‘Shake It’ by Metro Station hits, which causes a very mixed reaction from the crowd. Chris Elite and Jake Smith both begin walking down to the stage holding microphones in their hands. The two men begin to walk down the ramp, and they both look fed up as they make their way down to the ring, clearly having something on their mind especially after hearing Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams’ words back on Dynasty.)
James Peters: Here comes Jake Smith and Chris Elite! These two have a Unified Tag Team Championship match coming up soon, and we once again heard from their opponents just this past Friday night. Neither team seems to respect the other very much, and that should make things very interesting in the coming weeks!
Rich Russillo: That’s right, and I for one am excited to see what the Haircare Kings have to say! They have a match coming up against MaryBecca tonight, but they clearly have something they have to get off their chests first.
Persephone: Well I just hope that they don’t take forever to do that. I hate even having to show up to work these days.
(Jake and Chris enter the ring, and immediately Chris begins to speak.)
Chris Elite: I’m so tired of all the whining I gotta hear every Friday night, all ‘cause the Unified Tag Team Champions are too scared to admit that we’re far above any competition they’ve had in the past. Every time Harlow and Xavier walk out to speak it’s just a bunch of crying, and it’s annoying. I’m sick of hearing those two complain about everything as if they haven’t had it easy for months before we entered the picture. They were spoonfed title defenses and given an easy Championship reign and they still have the nerve to complain. They finally get the challenge that they claim to want so badly, and what do they do? They do everything they possibly can to try and pretend we’re not a real threat to their titles. It’s stupid because one of the reasons they refuse to see us as a threat is because of how we got our shot at them.
Jake Smith: It’s annoying having people constantly try and doubt us even when we do everything right. We promised that we’d walk out of Wicked Games as the winners of the tag team turmoil tournament, and we did. We kept our promise, and that should be enough to tell people that we’re completely serious about wanting those titles, but for those two it’s not. For those two we haven’t proven anything yet, and because we’re calling those two out for how stupid they sound, they’re trying to write us off as a team no different from the “competition” they faced in the past. We won a tournament to get our shots at those Championships, and those two don’t seem to think it matters at all, just because the Gawd Contract came into play.
Chris Elite: I couldn’t care less what Harlow and Xavier think about the Gawd Contract. I’ll use the contract whenever I want, and there’s just nothing any of y’all can do about that. They must’ve forgot why it is I got the contract in the first place, because I’m not just holding this for no reason. I earned my right to use the Gawd Contract whenever I wanted, and at Wicked Games I just went and did exactly that. Y’all really don’t wanna fu-.. MESS around with the Gawd Contract, and no I don’t feel bad because we “stole” the match or whatever y’all keep crying about. We promised to win the tag turmoil tournament, and if I have a contract that lets me do whatever I want whenever I want, why wouldn’t I use it? It’s common sense. If I want something I’mma do what I can to get it, and right now I want the Unified Tag Team Championships. I did what I needed to do, and if any of you got a problem with that then you can step up, because if I wanted to I could end your career in a matter of seconds.
(The crowd once again gives a mixed reaction.)
Chris Elite: Harlow and Xavier can consider themselves lucky though, because we’re not gonna need this contract to take those titles from them. Not when we already have what it takes to get the job done the first time.
Jake Smith: The two of us at our peak, and no that doesn’t mean that things are just going to go the same way they have in the past. That doesn’t mean that Harlow and Xavier are going to repeat history against me, or that we’ll be forced to relive our own pasts with this division. What that means is that when the two of us face Harlow and Xavier, we’re going to be the better team. We’re going to be the better competitors, and we’re going to become the new Unified Tag Team Champions. Harlow and Xavier can promise all they want that I’ll never redeem my past with them, but that’s how they always talk. They just don’t see greatness even when it’s right in front of them. They don’t understand just how much has changed and how hard I’ve worked since that match. Those two had a lot to say back on Dynasty, so I’ll give them the opportunity to finally come out here on Voltage, and see what a real tag team looks like.
(Chris and Jake wait inside of the ring for a second as the crowd grows loud in excitement, and lucky for the Haircare Kings, they get what they hoped for as ‘Witches Burn’ by the Pretty Reckless hits, and the Unified Tag Team Champions begin to make their way out to the stage. They’re wearing their Championships around their waists and have microphones in their hands, and neither of them look too impressed by Chris Elite and Jake Smith.)
James Peters: Looks like the Unified Tag Team Champions are here after all! We saw these two teams confront each other back on Dynasty after Wicked Games, but now we get to see the Unified Tag Team Champions here on Voltage!
Rich Russillo: This is all very exciting to me, even if it looks like Harlow and Xavier don’t share the same excitement.
Persephone: It’s Chris Elite and Jake Smith we’re talking about. How could anyone be excited about this?
(Harlow and Xavier enter the ring as the crowd gives a slightly mixed, but mostly negative reaction.)
Xavier Williams: After all this time, and knowing what it took for you two to “earn” this opportunity in the first place, you two are really still this confident that you’re the team that’ll accomplish what nobody else has been able to since Pain for Pride?
Jake Smith: Yeah we are, because we’ve proven how good we are as a team. We’ve proven that we’re not like any of the other people you’ve defended those titles against, and we’ve proven that we are more than capable of becoming Unified Tag Team Champions when nobody else in this division has been able to.
Xavier Williams: :francis: Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Harlow Reichert: I just don’t understand why you two believe that your performances in the tag team turmoil tournament are supposed to be some indicator that you’re capable of winning against a team that nobody else has been able to defeat. You two weren’t even the original winners of the tournament, but you genuinely believe that when the time comes you’ll be able to take down the standard bearers of this division. We’ve been the standard bearers for a long time now, and whether or not anyone actually wants to admit it, we’ve proven with every match that we have the skill that not many others have, especially when it comes to this division. Both of you should understand that very well by now. If this is your peak, then that’s honestly embarrassing, because you two and this entire team is nothing short of mediocre.
Chris Elite: Beloved you could’ve gotten away with that with any other team in the division, but you can’t do that right now. Y’all been hyping yourselves up your entire tag title reign and it only ever worked because of who you were facing. Behind this little act you both know that the two of us are the only ones capable of taking those titles from you. You can deny it all you want, but you both know how good we are, and you both know that when the time comes, we’re the ones that’ll be putting an end to your title reign.
Xavier Williams: You sure didn’t show everyone how much of a threat you were in your last few Championship matches. This isn’t the first time you’ve done this. This isn’t the first time you’ve promised everyone that you’re better than ever, that you can’t lose, that you’re destined to be the one to end someone’s Championship reign, and you never actually live up to that promise. Instead, you’re forced to just pick yourself back up after failing to deliver on your own words, and start back from square one. You’re forced to go back and make promises that you were just making a few months ago, all because back then things didn’t go your way and now you have to tell everyone that this time it’ll be different, even when everyone knows it won’t be. All you do is let yourself down time and time again, because you can repeat yourself as many times as you want, and you can try to convince everyone around you that you’ve finally reached your peak, but there will always be a better competitor, and right now you’re looking at a team full of them.
(Harlow looks towards Jake.)
Harlow Reichert: You’re not any different, either. You like to talk more than anybody, and more often than not, by the time you’re done speaking you’re laid out on the mat, staring at the lights because you weren’t good enough to live up to the promises that *you* made. It wasn’t that long ago that you were competing for the EAW World Championship, and there’s a reason why things didn’t go to plan for you. They almost never do, and that’s not going to change once we put our titles on the line against you, because unlike you and Chris, our words are more than just promises. We’ve always proven how talented we are inside of the ring, and Jake if there’s anybody who should know how this is going to end, it’s you-
James Peters: AND JAKE SMITH ATTACKS HARLOW REICHERT!! JAKE GOES AFTER HARLOW AND NOW XAVIER WILLIAMS RUNS IN TO HELP- BUT CHRIS ELITE INTERCEPTS AND ATTACKS XAVIER! WE HAVE A BRAWL ON OUR HANDS NOW, WITH THE TWO TEAMS THAT’LL BE COMPETING FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! Jake had the upper hand on Harlow after that sudden strike from him, meanwhile Chris Elite seems to have the upper hand on Xavier Williams! The challengers are getting the better of the Champions right now, and that’s not a good thing for Harlow and Xavier!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS AND XAVIER ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH AS THE TWO TRADE LEFTS AND RIGHTS, AND THE SAME GOES FOR JAKE SMITH AND HARLOW REICHERT! Jake caught Harlow by surprise and he was able to back her into the corner, BUT HARLOW WAS ABLE TO HIT A FOREARM RIGHT TO THE JAW TO KNOCK JAKE BACK! Harlow now swinging at Jake, BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT, AND HARLOW LANDS A BACK ELBOW BEFORE JAKE COULD GO FOR A MOVE FROM BEHIND! Now it’s Jake in the corner, and Harlow begins trying to stomp away at Jake, but Jake is able to catch the boot, before now pushing Harlow away!
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE WITH A KICK TO XAVIER’S MIDSECTION! Chris Elite now running the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A- NO! XAVIER WILLIAMS MANAGES TO LIFT CHRIS OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO LAND ON THE RING APRON-
Rich Russillo: JUST TO EAT A SUPERKICK FROM XAVIER! CHRIS ELITE IS KNOCKED OFF THE APRON, ALL WHILE HARLOW AND JAKE CONTINUE TO GO BACK AND FORTH! Harlow and Jake trading forearm strikes, BUT THAT’S CUT SHORT AS XAVIER KICKS JAKE IN THE STOMACH! NOW XAVIER AND HARLOW ARE GETTING THE BETTER OF JAKE AS THEY BEGIN TO LAY INTO HIM! Jake Smith is trying to fight back as he punches at Xavier, but he’s fighting a two on one battle and that’s just not going to work!
James Peters: Xavier Williams manages to hold onto Jake as Harlow Reichert runs the ropes, AND HARLOW HITS JAKE WITH THE RUNNING KNEE! That’s the same knee that is used to set up the Les Misérables submission move, and if this happens once those Championships are on the line, we might not see any new Champions after all.
Persephone: Good for them, I guess. Regardless of who wins this match the Tag Champs are gonna be mid at best, but if Jake and Chris let this happen when it counts… Yikes.
(‘Witches Burn’ begins playing once again, and Harlow and Xavier hold up their Unified Tag Team Championships. Chris Elite is outside of the ring pulling himself back up to his feet, clearly unhappy with what just happened, especially with Jake Smith laid out and a match coming up soon. As Harlow and Xavier holding their Championship is the last thing shown, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Voltage cuts to a commercial promoting DONDA deluxe, on Apple Music and Spotify now.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Jake Smith can be seen on the ring apron as Chris Elite is inside of the ring. Both of them look a bit worse for wear, and they’re definitely frustrated after what just happened.)
Bella Braxton: Already in the ring… At a combined weight of 420 pounds…. THE TEAM OF CHRIS ELITE AND JAKE SMITH… THE HAAAIIRRRCAAREE KIIIIIIIINNGGGSSSS!!!!!!
James Peters: Well… We saw what happened just a while ago. These two entered a brawl with the Unified Tag Team Champions, and now right after being taken out they’re forced to deal with this match!
Rich Russillo: It’s not gonna be easy for them, but who else do they have to blame for that other than themselves? They’re the ones who started that fight, and now they have to suffer the consequences.
Persephone: On the bright side, this match might not last as long.
(‘The Beginning’ by ONE OK ROCK hits, and the crowd begins cheering loudly as Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell begin to make their way out to the stage. They notice the condition Chris and Jake are in, and they keep their eyes on the Haircare Kings as they make their way to the ring, sharing a few words with each other as they walk down the ramp and towards the ring. As they make it to the ring, Bella Braxton begins to speak.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents…. At a combined weight of 248 pounds… MARY S. ATLAS AND REBECCA BLACKWELL, MAAARRRYYYYBBEEECCCAAAA!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes MaryBecca, and these two have quite the match ahead of them! We all knew this match was coming, but I don’t think any of us expected the Haircare Kings to walk into this match injured!
Persephone: Come on. Injured is pushing it.
Rich Russillo: Sure, but they’re still not at their one hundred percent and that’s going to cause them trouble. Rebecca and Mary could easily capitalize off of that tonight!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: Here we go! The Haircare Kings are taking on MaryBecca, AND IMMEDIATELY MARY S. ATLAS GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE AS SHE GOES AFTER CHRIS ELITE, WHO CHOSE TO START THE MATCH SO JAKE WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO RECOVER! Chris Elite is still a bit hurt himself following that brawl, and that’s given MaryBecca quite the advantage right now as Mary just rushed Chris into the corner, already beginning to stomp away at her opponent! The referee beginning to count, but Mary already backs off before the ref could get far! Chris Elite starting to get back up, BUT ONLY AS MARY RUNS THE ROPES, AND NOW SHE DELIVERS A HURRICANRANA!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite is quick to get back up to her feet, BUT MARY RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! Mary now pulling Chris up, and she irish whips him into the ropes! Chris goes for a clothesline off of the ropes but Mary ducks under it before running the ropes herself, BUT CHRIS JUMPS UP AND DELIVERS A BICYCLE KICK! Chris now with a snapmare, AND CHRIS RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE HITTING MARY WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE! Chris Elite has found the upper hand, and he may currently be a bit hurt but he also has the experience on his side!
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas now being pulled up to her feet by Chris Elite- AND MARY DELIVERS A JAWBREAKER! Chris Elite now stumbling back, AND MARY GRABS CHRIS BEFORE DELIVERING A HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN, AND NOW MARY QUICKLY GETS BACK UP BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING SENTON! That had to hurt after the fall Chris took to the outside earlier tonight, and now Mary goes for the cover on Chris Elite!
ONE!
T-
James Peters: CHRIS KICKS OUT! He may be hurt but he’s still no easy opponent!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas now pulling Chris up, AND MARY TRIES TO LIFT CHRIS UP FOR A SUPLEX, BUT CHRIS PULLS HIMSELF DOWN BEFORE PUNCHING AT MARY’S MIDSECTION! Chris now sending Mary into the corner, AND CHRIS ELITE CHARGES IN- RIGHT INTO A BOOT FROM MARY! Chris Elite now stumbling back, AND MARY CHARGES IN FOR A LARIAT, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE HITTING A HEAD SHOT! The pele kick connects, and now Chris drags Mary into his corner before tagging in Jake Smith!
Persephone: Shorty J is in the ring now and he’s stomping a hole into Mary S. Atlas, and I guess that’s what the Haircare Kings needed right now after what Harlow and Xavier did to them. Mary on the other hand doesn’t have much of an excuse and really just sucks, but that’s not a surprise. Jake is pulling Mary up now, and he tags Chris back into the match. Jake now delivers a drop toe hold to Mary, and Chris follows it up with a baseball slide dropkick, AND NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! THE COVER! PUT THIS MATCH AWAY EARLY!
ONE!
TW-
Persephone: :francis:
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas kicked out! Chris Elite now tagging Jake Smith back into this match, and these quick tags are very smart! If MaryBecca gets the upper hand the Haircare Kings might be in a lot of trouble, but these quick tags are making it more difficult for Mary to get back into this one! Jake Smith now pulling Mary S. Atlas back up to her feet, AND NOW JAKE SETS UP FOR THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS- BUT MARY S. ATLAS IS ABLE TO START PUNCHING AWAY AT JAKE, AND NOW SHE DELIVERS A FOREARM TO THE JAW!
Rich Russillo: JAKE STUMBLES BACK, BUT HE QUICKLY COMES TO HIS SENSES AND RUNS BACK AFTER MARY- WHO DROPS DOWN AND TAKES JAKE DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Mary quickly rushes to her corner, AND SHE TAGS REBECCA BLACKWELL INTO THIS MATCH! Rebecca Blackwell enters the ring, AND BOTH WOMEN CHARGE AT JAKE BEFORE DELIVERING A DOUBLE LARIAT! Mary S. Atlas exits the ring, and now it’s just Rebecca and Jake, who probably shouldn’t be in the ring right now! Jake was hoping to finish this one quickly or get Chris back in the match fast, but that’s not what happened at all!
Persephone: Well it’s Jake Smith we’re talking about. When do things ever go right with him?
James Peters: Rebecca Blackwell now sending Jake into the corner, AND REBECCA CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! Rebecca now pulling Jake’s legs out from under him, dropping him into a seated position, AND NOW REBECCA RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CHARGING IN, GOING FOR A CANNONBALL- WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! JAKE SMITH MANAGED TO JUST BARELY JUMP OUT OF THE WAY, AND REBECCA’S CANNONBALL HIT NOTHING BUT THE TURNBUCKLES! That had to hurt, and now I think Jake’s about to take advantage!
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith quickly getting back up with the help of the ropes, AND HE HITS REBECCA IN THE JAW WITH A SUPERKICK! Jake now pulling Rebecca in following that superkick, AND JAKE LIFTS REBECCA ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION BEFORE DELIVERING AN USHIGOROSHI! THE USHIGOROSHI CONNECTS ON REBECCA BLACKWELL, AND NOW JAKE SMITH GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER TO POTENTIALLY PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!
ONE!
TWO!!
Rich Russillo: REBECCA BLACKWELL KICKS OUT!! REBECCA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, AND JAKE DOESN’T LOOK TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT! Jake decides not to tag out just yet, and I think it’s because he has something else in mind to put this one away!
Persephone: Well yeah, he better have something else in mind seeing as Rebecca Blackwell just kicked out of that other move.
James Peters: Jake Smith pulls Rebecca up to her feet, AND JAKE GETS HER IN A HEADLOCK TRYING TO SET UP FOR IN BLOOM- BUT REBECCA PUSHES JAKE OFF OF HER AND INTO THE ROPES, BEFORE CATCHING JAKE FROM BEHIND AND LIFTING HIM UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, WHICH JAKE IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF AND LAND ON HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: Both Elitists quickly rush back up to their feet, AND NOW JAKE LIFTS REBECCA UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN ANOTHER FIREMAN’S CARRY, BUT REBECCA MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF HIS GRASP! REBECCA NOW LIFTS JAKE INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY OF HER OWN, AND REBECCA MIGHT JUST BE GOING FOR THE BECCA DRIVER- BUT JAKE DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN THAT EASILY! JAKE LANDS AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF REBECCA’S HEAD, AND NOW HE SLIPS OUT OF HER GRASP BEFORE GRABBING REBECCA IN A FRONT FACELOCK! Jake now hooking Rebecca’s neck, AND JAKE LIFTS REBECCA UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION-
James Peters: AND REBECCA GETS OUT OF IT! REBECCA SLIPS DOWN BEHIND JAKE, AND SHE GRABS JAKE BEFORE DELIVERING A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Rebecca now quickly tagging in Mary S. Atlas, before going and grabbing Jake! Rebecca now pulling Jake up, BEFORE DELIVERING A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! AIR BLACKWELL CONNECTS, AND NOW MARY S. ATLAS GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CULTURE- NO! NO NO NO! JAKE SMITH JUST PULLED REBECCA RIGHT WHERE HE WAS BEFORE MARY COULD FINISH OFF THE “MARYBECCA CULTURE” COMBINATION, CAUSING MARY TO ACCIDENTALLY HIT REBECCA WITH THE CUTTER! MARY GETS BACK UP, AND I THINK SHE’S PIECING TOGETHER WHAT JUST HAPPENED!
Rich Russillo: MARY DOESN’T GET ANY TIME TO REACT TO IT THOUGH, BECAUSE JAKE SMITH QUICKLY GRABS HER BEFORE DELIVERING IN BLOOM! JAKE JUST DROPPED MARY S. ATLAS’ HEAD ONTO THE CANVAS, AND NOW JAKE MANAGES TO TURN MARY OVER BEFORE BARELY PUTTING AN ARM OVER HER FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: AND MARY S. ATLAS STILL MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Rebecca Blackwell’s rolled out onto the apron, meanwhile Jake Smith is barely even able to react to the kickout because he’s still hurting following that European uppercut Rebecca delivered! Unfortunately for MaryBecca Mary couldn’t capitalize, but Mary was able to save this match for them with that kickout!
Persephone: It really is a shame that this match still isn’t over. I don’t think anyone was THAT interested in the “Who has the worst team name?” match. We could’ve cut it short and nobody would’ve minded, but instead Mary and Rebecca would rather drag this match out even though nobody would’ve faulted them for losing this match. Y’know, because that’s all those two normally do anyway so losing this match wouldn’t be anything new. They need to just wrap this one up already.
James Peters: Jake Smith gets back up finally, and he tags Chris Elite back into this match! These two were tagging each other often earlier in the match and I think they wanted to stay with that plan, but were temporarily held back by how this match progressed! Chris Elite is back in this though, and now he’s on the attack as he’s on top of Mary, punching away at her! Chris Elite now sending Mary into the corner, and she falls down into a seated position, which might be exactly what Chris wants!
Rich Russillo: HAWK EM!!! THE RUNNING METEORA IN THE CORNER CONNECTS, AND MARY S. ATLAS JUST ROLLS OUT OF THE CORNER LIKE A LIFELESS BODY! I think Chris Elite is sensing the end of this match right now, as he’s waiting for Mary to get back up to her feet! Chris is definitely waiting to connect with a big move right now, and if Mary gets back up like Chris clearly wants her to, she might be dropped right back down onto the canvas! Rebecca has gotten back up, and she’s yelling out to Mary, warning her that Chris is waiting for her as she’s getting back up!
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH- AND MARY S. ATLAS DUCKS UNDER IT! CUTTER CULTURE- NO! MARY WENT FOR THE CUTTER CULTURE, BUT CHRIS PUSHES HER AWAY! CHRIS ELITE NOW CHARGING IN, AND HE GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK, BUT MARY SLIPS BEHIND CHRIS BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!
ONE-
James Peters: CHRIS KICKS OUT IMMEDIATELY, BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS UP TO HIS KNEES MARY PULLS HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE LIFTING HIS ARMS UP FOR THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK! MARY S. ATLAS IS GOING FOR THE MOST WANTED DDT!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT THOUGH! CHRIS USES HIS STRENGTH TO POWER MARY UP, BUT MARY DROPS DOWN AND PULLS CHRIS ELITE INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN! Chris Elite gets out of it immediately though, AND HE LANDS A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MARY S. ATLAS! Chris Elite slowly getting back up to his feet, and now he grabs Mary S. Atlas before sending her into the corne- WAIT NO! MARY TURNS IT AROUND AND SENDS CHRIS INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD, AND NOW MARY QUICKLY CHARGES IN!
Persephone: :mjlol2: HAHAHA! MARY JUST HIT CHRIS WITH 9 MILES!!! THE 9 MILES CONNECTS AND NOW MARY DROPS DOWN ON TOP OF CHRIS! CHRIS ELITE REALLY SUCKS THAT MUCH, HE’S ABOUT TO LOSE TO A JOBBER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
James Peters: NO! CHRIS JUST BARELY POWERS OUT BEFORE THREE!!! I feel like both competitors deserve way more respect than you just gave them Persephone, but at this point I’m not even surprised. All four Elitists are pushing each other tonight, and Mary came really close to getting the win for MaryBecca but Chris somehow managed to kick out! Nobody wants to lose this match, and that’s causing this match to turn out really good!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet, and she’s slowly dragging Chris Elite towards MaryBecca’s corner! Mary S. Atlas now pulling Chris Elite back up to his feet, and she tags in- WAIT NO! MARY TRIED TO TAG REBECCA IN, AND CHRIS ELITE NOTICED THAT SO HE PULLED MARY INTO A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE! CHRIS NOW STUMBLING BACK, AND HE ALLOWS JAKE SMITH TO TAG HIMSELF BACK INTO THE MATCH! Chris was still feeling the effects of that Helluva kick, but that one counter was able to potentially save the match for these two!
James Peters: Jake Smith grabs Mary S. Atlas, AND HE SENDS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Mary S. Atlas slowly drops out of the corner, AND JAKE SMITH RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A BICYCLE KICK OF HIS OWN! Mary S. Atlas drops down to the mat, and now Jake Smith climbs up onto the middle rope! I don’t know what Jake has in mind just yet, but he’s been all over Mary ever since he re-entered the ring, so this one should definitely be good!
Persephone: Jake should probably stand on the top rope instead of the middle one. Maybe then he’ll actually reach the height of a normal person.
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas is slowly making it back up to her feet, AND NOW JAKE SMITH JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING FOR HELL ABOVE- BUT MARY S. ATLAS GRABS JAKE AND RAMS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, CAUSING BOTH ELITISTS TO STUMBLE OUT OF THE CORNER! Mary and Jake looking towards one another as they slowly come to their senses, AND THEY BOTH RUN AT ONE ANOTHER, BEFORE TAKING EACH OTHER DOWN WITH DUAL CLOTHESLINES!
James Peters: Both Elitists are down, and now they turn onto their stomachs, looking to tag in their partners! Both Mary and Jake are hurt after this physical match, and they’re forced to slowly crawl towards their partners, hoping to get there in time to make the tag! I think both teams should be proud of their performances tonight. Chris and Jake are competing right after that attack from Harlow and Xavier, and while Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell may have had an advantage, there was no way this match would be easy for them. Even with that being said, they’ve done such a great job tonight!
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH MANAGES TO TAG IN CHRIS ELITE, AND NOW MARY S. ATLAS JUMPS OUT TO TAG REBECCA BLACKWELL IN- BUT CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO GRAB HER LEG! CHRIS ELITE GRABBED MARY’S LEG BEFORE SHE COULD REACH THE TAG! Chris Elite now pulls Mary towards him, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT MARY IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HER FEET! CHRIS ELITE TURNS AROUND TOWARDS MARY, AND MARY DELIVERS A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI, DROPPING CHRIS ELITE! MARY NOW RUSHING TOWARDS HER CORNER!
Persephone: And the loser tags in the other loser. Great 🙄.
James Peters: REBECCA BLACKWELL IS BACK IN THIS MATCH! CHRIS ELITE HAD MADE IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT THAT DOESN’T LAST LONG AS REBECCA DROPS CHRIS WITH A JUMPING LARIAT! CHRIS ELITE IS DOWN, AND NOW REBECCA RUSHES IN BEFORE HITTING JAKE SMITH WITH A FOREARM, DROPPING JAKE DOWN ON THE APRON! Chris Elite gets back up, BUT REBECCA RUSHES TOWARDS HIM, GRABBING HIM BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE CORNER! REBECCA BLACKWELL NOW CHARGING IN AT CHRIS IN THE CORNER, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite now stumbling out of the corner, AND REBECCA BLACKWELL LIFTS CHRIS INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! REBECCA IS LOOKING FOR THE BECCA DRIVER ONCE AGAIN, BUT CHRIS ELITE BEGINS ELBOWING HER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD REPEATEDLY! CHRIS ISN’T ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF REBECCA’S GRASP THAT EASILY, BUT HE’S DEFINITELY ABLE TO WEAR HER DOWN WITH THESE ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! CHRIS SEEMS TO KNOW THAT IF HE’S HIT WITH WHATEVER REBECCA HAS IN MIND THAT THIS COULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH, BUT CHRIS DOESN’T LET THAT HAPPEN!
James Peters: Chris finally escapes Rebecca’s grasp, AND NOW CHRIS GOES FOR “OPEN YA MATA”- NO! REBECCA QUICKLY GETS OUT OF THE WAY! Chris stops himself and turns right towards Rebecca, AND REBECCA BLACKWELL DROPS CHRIS ELITE WITH THE AIR BLACKWELL!!! CHRIS ELITE IS DOWN!!! CHRIS ELITE WAS JUST DROPPED BY REBECCA BLACKWELL, AND NOW REBECCA QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER! REBECCA BLACKWELL AND MARY S. ATLAS MIGHT HAVE JUST CAPTURED THEIR BIGGEST VICTORY AS A TEAM!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!-
James Peters: WHAT!?!? HOW!?!? HOW DID CHRIS JUST GET THE SHOULDER UP, AS CLOSE AS HE COULD POSSIBLY GET TO THE THREE COUNT!
Persephone: I wish I knew. This match should’ve ended ages ago and instead these guys keep kicking out when they literally don’t need the win. NOBODY actually cares how this match ends. Both teams are just gonna move on and pretend this match didn’t happen regardless, so why do we need to sit here and watch this match? Not only do I have to sit here and watch this, but I can’t even fully express how I feel without having to pay even more money to those New Eden weirdos. Everything about this sucks, I hate it here.
Rich Russillo: Rebecca Blackwell is slowly trying to get back to her feet, and at this point I think even she doesn’t know what more it’ll take to win this match! Chris Elite and Jake Smith have had an excellent performance tonight, as have MaryBecca, but it seems like these two teams still have just a bit more left to offer! Rebecca Blackwell is slowly making her way up to the top rope as Chris Elite stays down, and we may definitely be approaching the end of this one very soon! Rebecca Blackwell is perched up on the top rope, AND SHE GOES FOR BLACKWELL’S END!!!!
James Peters: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! CHRIS ELITE JUST BARELY PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY!!! REBECCA WENT FOR THAT DIVING ELBOW DROP AND IT DIDN’T CONNECT! INSTEAD SHE CRASHED AND BURNED! REBECCA MISSED, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE IS USING THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP AS REBECCA BLACKWELL GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!! THE BOX OFFICE SMASH CONNECTS, AND IT BASICALLY TAKES REBECCA BLACKWELL’S HEAD OFF! BOTH ELITISTS DROP DOWN ONTO THE MAT, BUT CHRIS ELITE MAKES SURE TO PULL HIMSELF ON TOP OF REBECCA FOR THE COVER! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!!
(Suddenly, ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer hits, not just causing extremely loud boos immediately, but causing a lot of confusion from everyone in the arena, including the referee who stops counting just before the count of three. Drake has a microphone in his hand, which likely just causes even more confusion.)
Chris Elite: (off-mic) :comeagain:
Drake King: :francis:
Jake Smith: (off-mic) :wtf:
Drake King: You know, Myles said earlier tonight that this night was supposed to be about pure competition. We should be seeing the best of the best from everyone on the roster…. And I just don’t think we’re seeing that right now. We should actually be seeing a good match by people that actually want to be here, and people that actually care about what wrestling really is. We shouldn’t be wasting our time with something like this.
James Peters: What???
(Jake and Chris look at each other in confusion, and even Mary S. Atlas looks confused.)
Drake King: I don’t know, this match just isn’t doing it for me. I want to see a match between people that actually care about this business and actually have a passion for wrestling, and I’m not seeing any of that passion in this match. I’m pretty sure it’s because of Jake and Chris, too. I know how they are, and I’m not liking what I’m seeing from them. I don’t think Jake and Chris needed to compete tonight, you guys can go ahead and ring the bell.
Rich Russillo: ????
(The referee looks a bit confused as he looks at Drake, and Drake just nods his head, which tells the referee all he needs to know as he calls for the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: WHAT????
Rich Russillo: So that’s it!?!? The match is just cancelled? Just like that?
Persephone: Sounds like this is the good ending.
(Jake Smith and Chris Elite are both in complete disbelief, and it doesn’t take long for them to become pissed knowing that they had the win stolen from them. Drake just watched on, not caring too much about the reaction from them.)
James Peters: Chris Elite is rolling out of the ring as Jake Smith jumps off of the apron, and they’re both reasonably mad about what just happened!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite and Jake Smith are talking about something, and now Chris just grabbed a microphone!
Chris Elite: Nah, y’all must’ve forgot I have a Gawd Contract. RESTART THE MATCH-
James Peters: HEADSHOT!!!! MARY S. ATLAS JUST KICKED CHRIS ELITE’S HEAD OFF BEFORE HE COULD RESTART THE MATCH!!!! JAKE SMITH JUST NOW REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED, AND NOW HE-
Rich Russillo: DAVEY JONES’ LOCKER!!!! REBECCA BLACKWELL JUST KNOCKED JAKE SMITH OUT NOW!!! MARYBECCA JUST TOOK OUT THE HAIRCARE KINGS THANKS TO DRAKE KING CANCELLING THE MATCH!!!
Persephone: Yeah… But now there’s no match. What’s the point?
James Peters: I don’t think there needs to be a point! These two just sent a message, meanwhile Drake King is still messing with Jake and Chris after what they did at Wicked Games!
(‘The Beginning’ hits, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction as Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell hold their arms up. The cheers are for MaryBecca, but the boos are for Drake King, and the fact that he just straight up cancelled the match. Drake is still on the stage, and he can be seen laughing to himself as MaryBecca stands tall. With Chris Elite and Jake Smith unconscious, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Commercial for Applebee’s Cheetos Boneless Wings, featuring the only person on the planet that would actually eat that: Ronan Malosi.)
(The screen shows Bella Braxton standing in the center of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME, THE XTREME CLASSIC, JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits, as the Buffalo crowd erupts into cheers. After a moment, Justin Windgate steps out onto the stage wearing a black leather jacket along with black ripped jeans. In his hand is an EAW Microphone that he grips firmly. The crowd cheers the EAW stoner on, but he keeps a serious look on his face throughout his walk to the ring. Obviously the changes to the Voltage Brand that resulted from his Wicked Games loss have been affecting him in a negative way. He doesn’t look happy, but this crowd is showing him some love regardless.)
Rich Russillo: Here comes Justin Windgate who suffered the loss with Donovan Duke that put the control of Voltage in the hands of New Eden.
Persephone: Yeah, he fudging messed up there.. I don’t even like fudge..
James Peters: Well he definitely doesn’t seem like his normal self right now. I wonder what’s on his mind.
(Justin Windgate steps through the ring ropes. He then makes his way over to the center of the ring, as ‘High All The TIme’ cuts off. The crowd remains cheering for Windgate, as he keeps his head down and stares blankly at the ring canvas beneath his feet. The cheers continue to roar. After a moment, he looks up to the crowd, as they begin to quiet down; anticipating what he has to say. He then raises his eyebrows, and licks his lips before bringing the microphone up to his mouth.)
Justin Windgate: Before we get going..
(Justin Windgate then reaches down into his side pocket where he pulls out a pre-rolled joint. He places the joint between his lips and holds it there, as he makes his way over to the corner. Windgate leans up against the turnbuckles, and grabs a lighter from his other pocket that he uses to spark his joint with. Windgate then takes a massive puff before blowing the smoke high into the air of the Keybank Center. Windgate then makes his way back over to the center of the ring and begins to speak into the microphone.)
Justin Windgate: Yeah, you know.. I figured since I have the floor tonight and there’s so much for me to let out, I might as well get comfortable and smoke this joint while doing it, because there’s been a lot of stuff going on through my mind man.. You know, I hear you all cheering me, and I love every single one of you for it, but deep down I feel like I’m not worth being cheered for. What I failed to do with Donovan Duke at Wicked Games has affected all of us on the Voltage brand, and that’s what frustrates me.. I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself that I’m one of the main reasons why New Eden has seized control. That’s why I’m upset. It’s because now we have all of these stupid rules to follow and opportunities are being taken away with the EAW Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber not appearing at Road to Redemption. Guys like Ryan Wilson have been pretty vocal about Drake’s decision to not to defend the World Title in an Extreme Elimination Chamber and are probably pretty upset that Duke and I didn’t win back at Wicked Games. To them, I say I’m sorry.. Honestly, I was looking forward to seeing if I could take part and actually qualify in this year’s Extreme Elimination Chamber too. My first ever FPV was at Road to Redemption 2, and I remembered how fascinating it was to witness an Extreme Elimination Chamber up close.. On top of that, I’ve never stepped foot in a chamber before, nearly qualified against Cage two years ago, but didn’t quite have what it took to earn my spot. This year, however, I thought I actually had not only a decent shot to qualify, but a great shot to win the entire thing as well. So Ryan, I understand your pain. And for all of the fines people are receiving for the way they speak, I’m sorry that Drake had to insert a rule that only benefits himself and not New Eden because of my failures.. The fact that he decided to ban swear words is ridiculous. What’s he trying to do? Get EAW airing on Disney Channel before bedtime? The amount of times I’ve had to witness people hesitate and censor themselves like they’re talking to a child is mind blowing. We’re adults that get pissed at each other, yet these rules force us to be held back from expressing our true emotions verbally.. But you know what? I have a way to tell Drake King how we all feel about that. So to everyone in this Buffalo crowd, I’m going to need you to make this the best $500 I’ve ever spent. Don’t just do it for me, but for everyone who has been affected by New Eden’s control over this brand. LET’S MAKE THIS WORTH IT!!! SO IF YOU WANT TO SAY FUCK NEW EDEN, CLENCH A FIST AND RAISE YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE SKY!!!! SCREAM IT OUT LOUD!!!
(Justin Windgate flips off the camera, then raises his hand with his middle finger in the air. The camera pans across the Keybank Center, as we see every fan standing up on their feet, flipping off the camera, and directing it towards New Eden.)
Crowd: FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!!
(Justin Windgate goes right into finger guns with his middle fingers pointing at the camera. He shoots his finger guns over and over again, as the crowd continues to flip off and chant against New Eden.)
Crowd: FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!!
(Justin Windgate then sits down in the center of the ring, takes one final puff of his joint before tossing it out of the ring, then lays down onto his side with his hands pressed together to act like a pillow beneath his head. He shuts his eyes, as the crowd continues to chant.)
Crowd: FUCK NEEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!!
(Justin then springs right back up to his feet, then reaches down to grab the microphone. He brings it up to his lips, as the crowd begins to quiet down to hear what he has to say.)
Justin Windgate: Ahh, that was simply just music to my ears. Soothing and exactly how I feel about this entire thing. I can’t say a swear word since I’m contracted to Voltage, but you all can, and we can all express how we feel by flipping off New Eden because it’s not a word.. It’s a hand gesture.. SO LET ME HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME!!
Crowd: FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!! FUCK NEW EDEN!!
Justin Windgate: I know it’s upsetting to know what we’re losing as a brand. The freedom to speak the way we want.. The opportunity to fight in a marquee match like the Extreme Elimination Chamber.. And hell, the power of Chris Elite’s GAWD Contract. They had him handcuffed and taken to the ground by security for supporting Jake when they already had a 3 on 1 advantage over him.. New Eden being the cowards that they are is what that was.. I’ve been involved in the same type of unfair numbers games with them before, so their actions don’t surprise me.. They are jokes.. And they are making none of this make sense. They talk about making Voltage the best brand in EAW when all they are doing is putting rules out that nobody wants to follow or accept. This isn’t Voltage anymore.. It’s hell, and I already know that it’s going to continue getting worse.. But all of you need to trust me, this isn’t going to last forever. Again, they only have one month of control, then hopefully Captain Charisma can shape this place back to what it once was.. But even so, the war must continue.. It isn’t over until New Eden is fully eradicated as a group.. I failed to put an end to them at Wicked Games, but I can’t quit. They have now had a taste of power.. And once their time with control is over with, they’ll do whatever they can to obtain control once again.. I’ve heard the saying, with great power comes great responsibility, and unfortunately I don’t think New Eden is responsible enough to keep control over Voltage. This needs to remain a one time thing, because there may not be a duration limit for their control over Voltage like there is right now if there does end up being a next time.. The end is near.. We as Elitists and fans of what Voltage is truly about need to be on the winning side when that time comes.. For now, we weather the storm, and do what we can to embrace Voltage for what it truly is and be the best that we can be with these restrictions..
(Justin Windgate lowers his head, then raises it back up to look into the camera.)
Justin Windgate: And to Donovan Duke who has his match against Ms. Extreme in a little bit.. Go out there and do what you need to in order to get the job done.. She is blinded by her own misfortunes and doesn’t realize why we needed to do what we did earlier in the night at Wicked Games. She lost a tournament that would have only kept her tied to New Eden had she won.. While we gave control of Voltage to the most corrupted Group in this industry. There’s a bigger picture that she fails to see, and because of her ignorance towards that, you must knock some sense into her for me tonight.
Justin Windgate: It’s been a long two weeks since Wicked Games.. But soon enough, things will go back to the way it used to be.. And when it does, I’ll make sure that New Eden crumbles and falls once and for all..
(Justin Windgate flips off the camera, raises his middle finger high in the sky, then drops the EAW Microphone off to his side as it hits the ring mat. Windgate then drops down to the canvas of the ring while still holding his middle finger up, as the crowd begins to chant ‘Fuck New Eden’ over and over again while flipping off the cameras pointed at them. Windgate proceeds up the entrance ramp and towards the stage, as the screen fades to black.)
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption, where Myles faces Cameron Ella Ava.)
(Voltage returns to the image of Bella Braxton inside the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(The crowd repeats loudly; ONE FALL!)
Rich Russillo: OH BOY! MAIN EVENT TIME! BIG MATCH FEEL AROUND THIS ONE!
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church begins to play as a mixed reaction, though a primarily negative one, greets mr. 24.7 on the Voltage stage. Donovan Duke, as focused and as stoic as ever, dawns a white and gold singlet and matching wristbands. Dressed in gold, prepared to face the champion. Fans in the front row cheer loudly for Donovan, but he pays them absolutely no mind, his brain only has enough room to fit the image of that ring and Ms. Extreme inside it, nothing else. Completely focused on the task at hand.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF STILLWATER, OKLAHOMAAAAA!!! WEIGHING IN AT 212 POOUUNNDSSSS, HE IS MR. 24.7!!!! DONOVANNNNNN ‘THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMANNNNNN’ DUKEEEEEEE!!!
(While the crowd cheers, Donovan Duke becomes more eager and excited as his name is announced and makes his way under the bottom rope. Rolling into the ring and standing atop the second turnbuckle, now absorbing everything this KeyBank center has to offer.)
James Peters: Donovan Duke may have cost Ms. Extreme a huge match at Wickes Games, but I don’t think that really compares to what Ms. Extreme went and did earlier in the night. Donovan Duke knows that, and that’s exactly why he’s out here right now. He wants to get some much needed payback.
Rich Russillo: Donovan wants a hard fought and EARNED win over Ms. Extreme to prove just how far he’s come and just how bright his future still is in EAW. He wants it tonight and that’s probably another reason why he laid down this challenge to Ms. Extreme last week. He never meant for things to happen the way they did, but now, he’s gonna show her he doesn’t tolerate disrespect and will never shy away from any challenge, no matter how grand it may be. He invites it. He wants it. He-
Persephone: Is gonna lose. That’s what he is- gonna lose. He sucks and he had one noteworthy win in a career full of missed opportunities and disappointing results. Crying about hard work when that hard work hasn’t got him anywhere. Pathetic.
(Donovan cracks his neck and readies himself as the lights flicker red and ‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves begins to sound throughout the arena. Ms. Extreme makes her way onto the stage, title around her waist, staring straight out into the crowd and feeling the electricity from them. Her reaction a bit more positive than that of Donovan Duke’s, but they’re laser focused on one another nonetheless as Ms. Extreme’s head turns towards Donovan and doesn’t leave his direction.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! WRESTLING OUT OF CALABASAS, CALIFORNIAAAA!!! WEIGHING IN AT 135 POOOUNNNDSSSS, SHE IS THE UNDISPUTED EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONNNNNN!!! ‘THE RED QUEEENNNN’ MS. EXTREEEEMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(The crowd gives a mixed roar as she makes her way down the ramp. Removing her title from her waist and raising it above her head.)
James Peters: THAT…THAT is a champion. That’s a true champion and one of the greatest in EAW. Ms. Extreme has perhaps had the greatest season 15 of any elitist on our roster and it could have remained undefeated had that man right there not stuck his nose in her business. With that being said, I can’t say I feel all that bad for what happened after what Camille went and did later that same night.
Rich Russillo: She basically enabled New Eden to grab power on Voltage. These two both got into each other’s business and made decisions that hurt both of their careers. Now is their chance to settle the bad blood that’s been brewing between them. Ms. Extreme still needs to be cautious however, Donovan Duke, behind all that personal vendetta, still sees the opportunity that comes with a win over someone like her, over a high profile champion in EAW. He knows the task at hand, but he might not know the…extremes his opponent will go to in order to win this match.
(Ms. Extreme rolls into the ring and gives her title to the referee. She’s ready for a fight.)
DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: AND HERE WE GO! The main event of Voltage is underway as Ms. Extreme quickly goes on the offensive! She locks up Donovan with a collar and elbow tie, pushing him back into the corner and muscling back the 24/7 Contract holder! Ms. Extreme isn’t afraid of a living creature on God’s green earth, she won’t be deterred from getting in Donovan’s face and making him feel the pressure early!
James Peters: She’s doing just that and she’s keeping him trapped in the corner, pressing his jaw and head back with her forearms and using all of the referee’s five count to punish Donovan! She finally lets go and now drives a knee straight into his solar-plexus! That one took the wind from Donovan’s lungs and now she’s trying to launch him with an exploder suplex! The early offensive attack from Ms. Extreme is making its presence felt as Donovan is trying desperately to cling to that top rope! She rips him off and tries for the suplex-
Rich Russillo: Donovan is able to turn the hold around and now he has a hold of Ms. Extreme! She pushes back to the center of the ring and Donovan lets go, then quickly coming back to the well with a side-headlock hold on Ms. Extreme. Donovan Duke has a tight squeeze on the skull of Ms. Extreme, who is trying to fight her way out of this one, but Duke has it in tight! He drags her down to the canvas and takes a kneeling position, keeping this tough headlock position in full effect! Donovan now reposition and getting a knee on the back of Ms. Extreme, now switching to a facelock! Donovan Duke showing us all kinds of technical looks tonight!
James Peters: That’s one thing you have to commend him on, despite recent actions. He always manages to reinvent himself and approach his matches with a tougher mindset and sharper skill set than the last. Even right now, look at him out-wrestling Ms. Extreme on a technical base, Donovan knows that a chaotic brawl is what she wants. He can’t let this match turn into a car crash.
Persephone: Your hairline is the real car crash, my god. Get some plugs or something, Jesus christ.
James Peters: :picard:
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme up to a knee now, trying to post off one leg and escape this facelock. Donovan abandons it and goes back to the side-headlock! Now dragging her back down to the canvas and throwing her head-first against the mat! Some dirty work from Donovan Duke as he mercilessly bounces her head off the canvas like a basketball! NOW DONOVAN OFF THE ROPES, A ROLLING SOMERSAULT LEG DROP ON-
James Peters: No! Ms. Extreme rolled out of the way and got out of harm’s way! Donovan went higher risk and paid for it! He’s grabbing his butt and feeling the pain of the impact!
Persephone: Pause.
James Peters: Here comes Ms. Extreme! She goes for a running boot to the face of the seated Donovan! He rolls out of the way and gets back up, now bouncing off the ropes with a handspring and leaping backwards! THE BACK ELBOW DOESN’T LAND AS MS. EXTREME SIDE STEPS, BUT HE CAUGHT HIMSELF AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! MS. EXTREME IS THE ONE WHO NOW BOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND TWIRLS DONOVAN’S BODY AROUND WITH A RUNNING HURRICANRANA! THOSE HEADSCISSORS THAT THREW-
Rich Russillo: WAIT!? HE LANDED ON HIS FEET! DONOVAN LANDED ON HIS FEET AND NOW GIVES A SMILE TO MS. EXTREME! WHAT A FEAT OF ATHLETICISM FROM DONOVAN DUKE, WHO SAYS YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT! Donovan Duke shrugs and Ms. Extreme sends a smile right back to him! They both go flying off the ropes and charging towards each other! MS. EXTREME LAUNCHES INTO THE AIR WITH A JUMPING HEEL KICK, THIS TIME CONNECTING FLUSH AND FLOORING DONOVAN! Now it’s Ms. Extreme who gets back up and shrugs at him! Gamesmanship from the champion as she perches herself on the second rope, waiting for Donovan to get back to his feet!
James Peters: HERE COMES MS. EXTREME- No! Donovan Duke blasts the ropes and tries to knock her off, but Ms. Extreme jumps into the air and comes back down with a double axe-handle! She attempted that flying counter, but Donovan evaded the attack and now takes the back of Ms. Extreme, he’s trying to launch her with a German suplex! Donovan wants to send her crashing across the ring- But it’s Ms. Extreme who grabs his wrist and circles around! Now Ms. Extreme has his back and she’s the one who sends Donovan tumbling across the ring with a German suplex! Wow! What power from the champion, who sent Donovan sliding under the bottom rope and to the outside!
Rich Russillo: Donovan forced to the outside and Ms. Extreme is banging her fists against the mat, telling these fans to get to their feet! They already are, Ms. Extreme! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND DIVES THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE- NO! WAIT! SHE GOT CAUGHT, DONOVAN CAUGHT HER IN MIDAIR! OH MY GOD, DONOVAN DUKE MUST HAVE THE STRENGTH OF AN OX! NOW DONOVAN SLAMS HER AGAINST THE APRON WITH A SPINEBUSTER! JESUS LORD-
James Peters: HE ISN’T DONE! DONOVAN NOW SCOOPS HER BACK UP AND THROWS HER OVERHEAD WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!! HER BODY RATTLED OFF THE FLOOR AS MS. EXTREME CLUTCHES AS HER BACK! WHAT A COUNTER FROM DONOVAN, WHO NOW HAS TAKEN THE REINS OF THIS MATCH!
Persephone: Dumb Ms. Extreme! She should’ve known that throwing yourself like a football when you weigh about as much as one isn’t a good idea! She deserved every bit of that!
Rich Russillo: Look at Donovan! He knows he needs to capitalize on this momentum he has right now, Ms. Extreme is on the ropes badly and Donovan Duke realizes that he is on the cusp of the greatest win of his career to date! This is huge for him! He rolls her back into the ring and tries to bring her to her feet! Ms. Extreme can barely stand, but Donovan places her right in the middle of the ring! HERE HE GOES, BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES AND LEAPING BACK WITH A HANDSPRING ELBOW THAT KNOCKS THE SENSE OUT OF MS. EXTREME’S MOUTH! SHE’S FLOORED AND DONOVAN DUKE IS ROLLING!
James Peters: DONOVAN IS MADLY SCRAMBLING TO THE CORNER, MS. EXTREME IS LAID OUT AND NOT GETTING BACK UP! SHE’S OUT OF IT AND DONOVAN DUKE IS GETTING TO THE TOP ROPE AS QUICKLY AS HE CAN! HE’S CRAWLED UP TO THE TOP ROPE! DONOVAN MANAGED HIS WAY UP THE TURNBUCKLES AND NOW HE’S STANDING ATOP THE WORLD! HE CAN BARELY SEE US ALL AT HIS FEET, BUT HE’S GOT PLANS TO COME ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN! DONOVAN DUKE, HERE HE GOES! ‘STACK THE DECKKKKKKKKKK’!!!!!!! IT CONNECTS FLUSH, THAT PHOENIX SPLASH JUST CRUSHED HER RIBS AND MS. EXTREME DOUBLED OVER IMMEDIATELY!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE MAY HAVE JUST WRITTEN THE ENDING OF THIS CHAPTER AND GIVEN MS. EXTREME HER SECOND LOSS OF THE SEASON! HE JUMPS INTO THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONE!
TWO!
James Peters: KICKOUT FROM MS. EXTREME! THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION WITH A STRONG KICKOUT AT 2! Ms. Extreme was able to power out and Donovan Duke looks flustered, but he’s right back on it! It’s almost as if he knew that wasn’t going to be enough to do her in, but he wanted to show Ms. Extreme that can come close to finishing her with just SOME of his offense, he’s still got more tricks up his sleeve! AND YOU’RE ABOUT TO SEE THEM! HE GRABS HER ARM AND NECK AND NOW TRIES TO LOCK IN A TRIANGLE CHOKE!
Rich Russillo: CAN YOU IMAGINE DONOVAN DUKE SUBMITTING MS. EXTREME, THIS WOULD BE INCREDIBLE! HE KNOWS SHE WON’T TAP, HE COULD JUST PUT HER TO SLEEP WITH A TRIANGLE CHOKE! HE’S LOOKING TO DO IT! TRYING TO DRAG HER INTO DEEP WATERS, BUT MS. EXTREME IS ABLE TO PUT TWO FEET ON THE CANVAS AND LIFT UP IN THE AIR! DONOVAN DUKE IS KEEPING WITH THE SUBMISSION, BUT MS. EXTREME IS DEADLIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR! WHAT POWER FROM MS. EXTREME!
James Peters: NOW SHE SLAMS HIM DOWN ON HIS NECK AND DONOVAN IS FORCED TO RELEASE THE HOLD! Leisurely rolling onto his stomach, grabbing his neck- THAT WAS A MISTAKE! MS. EXTREME JUMPS ON HIM NOW WITH A SUBMISSION ATTEMPT! THE ‘RED HANDED’ ARMBAR WOULD END THIS MATCH FOR SURE AND SHE’S TRYING TO LOCK IT IN! SHE CAN’T SIT DOWN ON THE BACK OF DONOVAN BECAUSE HE’S USING ALL THE POWER HE HAS IN THE OTHER ARM TO KEEP HIS CHEST OFF THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: NOW SHE TAKES THE ARM AND WRAPS HER FINGERS AROUND THE FACE OF DONOVAN DUKE! OH BOY, ‘THE AVA LOCK’!!!!! SHE SWITCHED AROUND TO THE ‘AVA LOCK’ AND NOW SHE’S GOT HIM FLATTENED OUT! SHE’S WRENCHING BACK ON THE FACE OF DONOVAN AND HE’S YELLING OUT IN PAIN! HE’S ABLE TO SCRAMBLE HIS WAY TO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND HE’S REACHING OUT FOR IT-
James Peters: NO! SHE DRAGGED HIM RIGHT BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! BANG! DONOVAN DUKE WITH A FRONT KICK TO THE FACE, WHAT AN UP KICK FROM DONOVAN DUKE! HE KICKED HER IN THE FACE AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! SHE NAILS HIM WITH A CALF-KICK THAT DROPS HIM BACK DOWN TO A KNEE! THAT BRUTAL LEG KICK MIGHT’VE CUT HIS LEG IN HALF WITH ANY MORE POWER, NOW SHE’S GOING TO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! PERHAPS ANOTHER DIVING CALF-KICK ON THE WAY!
RIch Russillo: HERE SHE GOES! NO! DONOVAN TRIES TO COUNTER WITH A SUPERKICK- WAIT! MS. EXTREME HELD ON! SHE KNEW DONOVAN HAD ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO COUNTER THAT ATTACK AND NOW HE RUSHES TO THE CORNER! SHE BOUNDS OFF THE ROPE AND SOARS OVER HIS HEAD, ROLLING ACROSS THE RING AND GETTING TO HER FEET! NOW CHARGINGING INTO THE CORNER AND DELIVERING A STIFF CLOTHESLINE THAT HUNG HIM UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
James Peters: HE’S ON WOBBLY LEGS AND NOW IS ZOMBIE WALKING AROUND THE RING! MS. EXTREME OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A BIG SPRINGBOARD! SHE GRABS HIS NECK AND BRINGS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE CANVAS WITH A BULLDOG! A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG FROM MS. EXTREME, WHO HAS FOUND A WAY TO WHETHER THE STORM OF DONOVAN DUKE AND TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THIS EPIC MATCH! MS. EXTREME NOW THE ONE ASCENDING THE TURNBUCKLES AND TOUCHING THE SKY!
Rich Russillo: SHE REALLY IS TOUCHING THE SKY AND SHE’S WAITING FOR HIM TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! DONOVAN DUKE HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S COMING! HE STUMBLES UP TO TWO FEET AND THEN TURNS AROUND, MS. EXTREME FLIEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS WITH A ‘GLASS CEILING’ ALA CAMERON ELLA AVA-
Persephone: WHAT THE F-UDGE?!
James Peters: NO WAY! NO DARN WAY! DONOVAN DUKE COUNTERED THE MOVE IN MID AIR AND TURNED IT INTO A ‘DRAWING DEAD’ MICHINOKU DRIVER!! THAT ‘DRAWING DEAD’ JUST SHOCKED MS. EXTREME AND IT SHOCKED THE WORLD, THESE FANS CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’VE JUST SEEN, I CAN’T EITHER!! NOW DONOVAN DUKE GRABS HER BY THE LEGS AND HEAD, OH MY GOD, HE’S GOT HER LOCKED IN!!! ‘THE ROYAL FLUSH’ FROM DONOVAN DUKE JUST SNAPPED MS. EXTREME’S HEAD BACK AND SHE WENT LIFELESS! HE HOOKS THE LEG AND COVERS HER ARM, THIS HAS TO BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

Rich Russillo: FOOT ON THE ROPE! FOOT ON THE ROPE! MS. EXTREME GOT HER FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THE REFEREE JUST BARELY CAUGHT IT! THE REFEREE SAW IT OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS EYE AND THIS MATCH IS STILL ALIVE! DONOVAN DUKE JUST THREW HIS HANDS UP AND FELL BACK TO THE CANVAS! HE THINKS IT’S OVER! HE THINKS HE’S WON!
James Peters: THE REFEREE IS TELLING HIM WHAT HAPPENED, BUT HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IT! DONOVAN DUKE IS SHOUTING AT THE REFEREE AND STUMBLING ALONG THE ROPES! HE’S A MESS AND HE CAN’T FATHOM THIS MATCH BEING CONTINUED! HE THOUGHT IT WAS DONE ND THAT THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE HAD BEEN WRAPPED UP!
Persephone: What a loser, he really thought he had this match won?!
James Peters: HE SHOULD’VE! MS. EXTREME IS A DOG, AN ABSOLUTE PITBULL WHO WON’T GO OUT, UNTIL YOU KILL HER! THEN YOU NEED TO KILL HER AGAIN BECAUSE SHE’S LIKE BIG MIKE MYERS! SHE KEEP ON COMIN’ BACK!
Persephone: So is she a pitbull or Michael Myers? Or big Mike, because she’s not a dog, man, or a man and Black. So…
James Peters: METAPHORS!!! SHE HAS A WARRIOR SPIRIT AND IS SOMEHOW STILL IN THIS MATCH! SHE STAYED ALIVE AND DONOVAN DUKE IS PLEADING WITH THE OFFICIALS TO RING THE BELL! HE THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS OVER! HE’S BEEN TRYING TO TELL THE REFEREE TO CALL FOR THE BELL, BUT IT WON’T CHANGE THE DECISION! HE SAW HER FOOT AND THIS MATCH WAS CONTINUED, RIGHTFULLY SO! BUT HE NEEDS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CURVE HE HAS RIGHT NOW!
RIch Russillo: I THINK- WAIT! HE TURNS AROUND AND MS. EXTREME BLASTS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! NOW PICKING UP THE BODY OF DONOVAN DUKE IN A FLASH AND DELIVERING A ‘TWIST OF FATE’!!!!! SHE DELIVERED THAT SPINNING NECKBREAKER AND NOW SHE’S ONCE AGAIN HEADING TO THE TOP ROPE! IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN! SHE’S PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND IS EYEING THE WOOZY DONOVAN DUKE! THIS TIME THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
James Peters: SHE FLIES WITH A ‘GLASS CEILING’ AND CONNECTS BIG TIME THIS TIME! SNAPPING HIS HEAD DOWN AND SENDING HIM BUCKLING ACROSS THE RING! DONOVAN DUKE JUST GOT PUT OUT BY MS. EXTREME AND THAT’S GOTTA BE ALL! HAS TO BE! THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL AND AFTER A GRUELING BACK AND FORTH WAR, MS. EXTREME IS FINALLY GOING TO BURY THIS NAIL DEEP! SHE COVERS HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, FOR THE WIN!

Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! WHAT THE HECK!?!? HE KICKED OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! NO ROPE WAS NEEDED AND DONOVAN DUKE SOMEHOW POWERED OUT OF THAT ONE! THAT WAS PURE RESOLVE, ABSOLUTE CONVICTION AND THE UNDYING WILL TO NEVER GIVE UP FROM DONOVAN DUKE! WE SAW IT FROM MS. EXTREME EARLIER, NOW DONOVAN DUKE IS SHOWING US ALL ONCE AGAIN THAT HE HAS ZERO QUIT IN HIM! MS. EXTREME- WAIT? SHE’S SMILING AT DONOVAN DUKE! SHE HAS A HUGE GRIN ON HER FACE, SHE’S ENJOYING THIS!
James Peters: IT WOULDN’T BE A MS. EXTREME MATCH WITH SOME EXTREME ENJOYMENT! SHE LOVES THE HARD-HITTING VIOLENCE! WE SAID EARLIER THAT DONOVAN DIDN’T WANT THIS MATCH TURNING INTO A CAR CRASH, BUT THIS IS LIKE A 7 CAR PILEUP ON A BRIDGE! MS. EXTREME IS IN HER ELEMENT AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO TURN IT UP TO 11! MS. EXTREME-
Rich Russillo: NO! ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’ FROM THE WOBBLY DONOVAN DUKE! HE MANAGED TO CONNECT HARD WITH THAT SPinNING BACKFIST TO THE JAW! NOW HE LIFTS MS. EXTREME BACK UP FOR YET ANOTHER ‘ROYAL FLUSH’!!!! OH MY GOD, DUKE OUT OF NOWHERE, HE’S SOMEHOW GONNA PULL OUT THIS MAJOR WIN! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT THROUGH AND DROP HIM STIFF WITH A ‘CODE RED’ SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! OH MY GOD, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER FROM MS. EXTREME! WHO DROPPED HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! NOW SHE CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ONE MORE TIME! ONE FINAL CURTAIN CALL FOR A VALIANT AND UNCEASING DONOVAN DUKE! SHE’S LOOKING FOR ‘A BLIND FURY’ AND SHE’S STANDING TALL ATOP THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE! HERE SHE GOES, THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN, A ‘BLINDDDDDDD FURRRRYYYYYYYY’-
Rich Russillo: NO! SHE STOPPED AS DONOVAN DUKE SCURRIED UP THE TURNBUCKLES AND USED HER FORWARD MOMENTUM TO BRING THEM BOTH CRASHING DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A THUNDEROUS SUPERPLEX! A SUPERPLEX AT THE MOST CLUTCH TIME AND IT NEARLY LEVELED THE RING! HOW DID HE MUSTER UP THAT STRENGTH, HOW DID HE EVEN GET UP THERE! HE SHOULD’VE BEEN STUCK TO THAT CANVAS LIKE A SHORT, YET BROLIC TATTOO! BUT HE GOT UP AND ONCE MORE HIT A HOME RUN SHOT IN THE LAST INNING! WHAT A MATCH!
(Both competitors are barely stirring as the crowd roars for them both.)
Rich Russillo: WHAT A WAR THIS HAS BEEN BETWEEN TWO OF VOLTAGE’S GREATEST TALENTS! THIS IS WHAT THIS BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT, THIS IS WHAT VOLTAGE IS ALL ABOUT!
James Peters: ONE OF THEM STILL NEEDS TO FIND A WAY TO SOMEHOW KEEP THE OTHER DOWN! AS IMPOSSIBLE AS IT SEEMS, ONE OF THEM WILL BE FORCED TO FALL! THEY’RE BOTH RISING TO THEIR FEET NOW AND LOOKING EACH OTHER IN THE EYES! AN INTENSE STAREDOWN BETWEEN THESE TWO WARRIORS AND NEITHER ONE WILL TAKE A STEP BACK! BANG! MS. EXTREME WITH THE FIRST BLOW, SHE DELIVERS A THUDDING ELBOW TO THE JAW OF DONOVAN! DONOVAN SAYS ANOTHER ONE!!! OH BOY!!!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME WITH MORE ELBOWS AND PUNCHES, DONOVAN IS SAYING BRING IT ON! BUT SHE GOES LOW WITH A CALF-KICK AND THAT ONE CHOPPED HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! MS. EXTREME IS SO SMART AND SHE WENT BACK TO THAT LEG SHE’D INVESTED DAMAGE IN EARLIER IN THE NIGHT! NOW SHE GRABS HIM BY THE NECK AND- NO! DONOVAN SHOVES HER AWAY AND SWINGS WITH ANOTHER ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’!!!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME DUCKED UNDER THAT ONE, BUT DONOVAN TURNS AROUND AND SHOOTS A HUGE SUPERKICK THAT FINDS ITS MARK! A PICTURE PERFECT STING OF A SUPERKICK AND NOW HE JUMPS ON HER WITH THE ‘BANKRUPT’!!!! THAT GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS IN DEEP AND MS. EXTREME MIGHT GO TO SLEEP, OH MY GOD! SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO! SHE’S TRYING SO BADLY TO ESCAPE, BUT THIS IS LOCKED IN TIGHT!
Rich Russillo: SHE’S TRYING TO WALK HIM TO THE ROPES, BUT SHE FELL DOWN AND NOW IT’S IN DEEPER! OH MY GOD, THIS HAS TO BE IT! SHE’S FADING, HER LEGS ARE KICKING AND SHE’S TRYING TO JUST DO ANYTHING SHE CAN TO ESCAPE, NOW SHE TUCKS HER HEAD AND IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO RIP HER NECK AWAY ONE FINAL TIME-
Persephone: –
James Peters: –
Rich Russillo: SHE DOES! SHE MANAGES TO SOMEHOW SLIP OUT OF THAT ‘BANKRUPT’ GUILLOTINE CHOKE AND REMAINS ALIVE! BUT FOR HOW LONG?! SHE FELL TO THE CANVAS AND IS COUGHING TRYING TO CATCH HER BREATH! SHE’S HURT BAD AND DONOVAN KNOWS IT! HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO HER AND GRABS HER FOR THE ‘BANKRUPT’ AGAIN!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME GRABS THE ARM AND BOUNCES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A MODIFIED ‘GLASS CEILING’!!!! OH MY GOD, THAT SPRINGBOARD STUNNER JUST SHOCKED THE SYSTEM OF DONOVAN DUKE, WHO FALLS TO THE CANVAS AS MS. EXTREME STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: SHE SLOWLY BUT SURELY IS MAKING HER WAY TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ONE FINAL TIME, IT HAS TO BE!!!! SHE’S UP THERE AND SHE ISN’T LOOKING BACK, SHE KNOWS SHE HAS TO GO FOR BROKE, OR SHE’S DONE! HERE COMES MS. EXTREME, ONE LAST DANCE! ‘A BLINDDDDDD FURRRYYYYYYY’ ABSOLUTELY CAVES IN THE CHEST OF DONOVAN AND HE LAYS OUT FLAT AFTER THAT ONE! HE’S DONE AND MS. EXTREME HURRIES INTO AN EXHAUSTED COVER, JUST TRYING TO COVER EVERY PART OF DONOVAN SHE CAN! MS. EXTREME, FOR THE WIN!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

DING! DING! DING!
(Ms. Extreme remains lifeless on top of DOnovan Duke as medical aid comes down to assist both of them.)
Rich Russillo: THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION DID IT! MS. EXTREME WINS AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL MATCH TONIGHT!
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! MS. EXTREEEMMMMEEEEEEEE!!!!
(She rolls off and lays flat against the canvas and pours water on her face as Donovan Duke remains still. Medical aid is tending to him.)
James Peters: Oh my lord, they truly left it all out there and more. Neither one would give in, or even give an inch of ground to the other one. They fought for everything they have and gave everything they had, but in the end, it’s Ms. Extreme who will walk away with an incredibly hard fought victory over Donovan Duke. Who may have been defeated tonight, but is anything but a loser. He showed that he belongs out there with the best the world can offer and is a top tier competitor in a company where he has grown himself like a rose from the concrete.
Rich Russillo: I agree, how can you not give him props after a display like that? Both of these elitists just represented Voltage in the greatest way possible by demonstrating that this is the brand of most resilience. Of no quit and of absolutely undying allegiance to one thing; victory.
Persephone: I said he’d lose and what happened? He lost. Call me mystic Persephone baby, I’m seeing the future.
Rich Russillo: Well, he certainly didn’t go out without the ultimate fight and after all they’ve been through, I’m not sure if the hatchet is buried or not, but I can tell you that there will be some mutual respect between these two going forward. How couldn’t there be after a war like that?
(Ms. Extreme limps up the ramp and holds her title on her shoulder as she stares straight ahead. Donovan Duke just barely sits up against the ropes and is being looked at by the doctor.)
Persephone: Well, since I was right, I’ll do the honors tonight, ladies. Ladies and gentleman, thank you for sticking with us through some decent and some straight AWFUL matches, I was switching channels and going to the bathroom during most of them too. But thank you nonetheless and we’ll unfortunately see you next week for another episode of Sunday Night Voltage! Goodnight!
(Ms. Extreme is shown on the stage and she looks back at Donovan, who nods his head at her, but all she does is raise her title into the air and soak in the victory.)
(The shot fades to black as Ms. Extreme is seen walking through the curtain.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
