(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap from last weeks Voltage begins to play as usual. The recap starts with Drake King’s confrontation with Darcy May Morgan which led to him slapping her, before Darcy taking him out with the Don’t Diss Darcy and having a match set for Road to Redemption. Next, the recap shows Lisa Wren defeating Eddie Magnum. Afterwards, Captain Charisma and Ahren Fournier make an agreement where if Ahren runs a gauntlet, he will enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Next, the recap shows Alexis Chambers capturing a roll up victory over Candice Blair, and after this the recap shows Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin convincing Adriana Landerson to pursue her crush, Myles. After this is Nina Bravo’s Specialists Chamber profile, followed by Minerva scoring a victory over Shane Gates. Afterwards Holly Arrow is seen for the first time talking to Captain Charisma, and soon after a match would be set between herself and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor. After this is Sofia Clarke’s interview with Malcolm Jones, and after that the recap shows TLA defeating Terry Chambers. Afterwards is Kasey Kaos’ Specialists Chamber profile, followed by Kasey’s victory over Jesse Barlow which came after Myles distracted Kasey. After this is the confrontation between Donovan Duke and Andre Walker, followed by Darcy May Morgan’s match with Ms. Extreme which would end prematurely due to Serena Bennett, before Drake would attack Darcy and take her Cash in the Vault briefcase. Finally, the recap shows SOSA Henderson defeating Azrael in cheap fashion, before Azrael would take out TLA after he, SOSA and Terry Chambers would fail to keep him down.)
(Voltage fades out to the World 1 Theatre, and as Voltage’s signature intro music begins to play the camera pans around the Theatre, showing all of the virtual fans. The fans are all cheering, and soon after showing them the camera fades to the commentary table as usual, with James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone in front of the camera.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen! As always, welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage! We’re super close to Road to Redemption, and it looks like the show is piecing itself together as we speak! I’m super excited, but before we get there we’ve got yet another fantastic show lined up for you all!
Rich Russillo: Terry Chambers versus SOSA Henderson, Myles versus Kasey Kaos, whatever the hell this gauntlet match with Ahren Fournier is gonna be, this show is looking great!
Persephone: Do you ever get tired of lying like this? You guys do it every week. Who cares about some Champion versus Champion match? They happen every week now, they’re not even valuable anymore.
(Voltage fades over to the stage, and ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits. The virtual crowd gives Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma a great reception as he makes his way out to the stage with a microphone in his hand. As he makes his way down to the ring with a smile on his face the crowd continues cheering, and as he finally makes it to the ring he waits for the crowd to quiet down before he begins speaking.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage! We’re only two weeks away from Road to Redemption, and what a show that’ll be! There’s a lot on the line on the Voltage side of things, from the Grand Prix finals, the New Breed Championship, the National Elite Championship and the Universal Women’s Championship, to the Specialists and EAW Championship Extreme Elimination Chambers! It’s going to be a fantastic show, but while we’re on the topic of the EAW Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber, there’s something I’d like to announce.
(The virtual crowd begins to quiet down even more in anticipation of the announcement.)
Captain Charisma: As we all know there’s two open spots left in that Chamber, but if Ahren Fournier is able to make it through his Gauntlet match later tonight that’ll leave only one spot left in the Chamber. When you have a roster as incredible as this one it’s not easy to just choose someone to enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber, especially when most of the roster already is scheduled for their own matches. Luckily, I won’t have to worry about choosing the final participant for Voltage’s Extreme Elimination Chamber match… And that’s because that participant has already been chosen.
(Some members of the crowd begin to cheer, but the majority remain silent, wondering who Captain Charisma means.)
Captain Charisma: Honestly, I think this was the perfect choice for the Extreme Elimination Chamber’s final participant. He’s without a doubt one of the most hard working Elitists on the roster, so I’d just like everyone to give a warm welcome to the former EAW Champion, REX MCALLISTER!!!
(The virtual crowd explodes as ‘Champion’ by Barnes Courtney begins to play. After a few seconds Rex McAllister makes his way out to the stage for the first time since Territorial Invasion, causing the fans to cheer even louder. He has a microphone in his hand and a smile on his face, and he soon begins walking down to the ring. Upon entering the ring he gives Captain Charisma a handshake, and after a few minutes the crowd quiets down, allowing him to finally speak.)
Rex McAllister: Thank you! Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome back. I’m very grateful for this opportunity, and I promise to not let any of you down the way I did back at Territorial Invasion. Thanks to Captain Charisma I’ve been given the chance to recapture the EAW Championship, and I will do just that. Before I get to that though I’m sure many of you are wondering why I was even gone in the first place, and you all know I’d never be anything but honest to you all, and that’s not going to change right now. There’s been a lot of questions surrounding my absence and even questions about whether or not I’d be back, so I think it’s about time I tell you all the truth.
(The crowd begins quieting down again, allowing Rex to speak.)
Rex McAllister: As you all could probably imagine, this has been a crazy year. I’ve reached the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, all in this very year, and it’s as if all of these highs and lows all hit me one after the other. For five years now I’ve been pushing myself to the limit. I’ve given each match my one hundred percent and then some, and this year turned out to be the height of it all. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve appreciated everything I got. I enjoyed being EAW Champion, and at one point a double Champion with the Unified Tag Team Championships. I enjoyed winning the Grand Rampage, winning a Pain for Pride main event, going on talk shows, being the “Gold standard” of Voltage as some may say… But it was time for me to stop. I needed to take some time and step away from the ring and out of the limelight to recharge, and while I didn’t expect to leave Territorial Invasion without the EAW Championship, that turned out to be my opportunity to step out of the spotlight.
(Some of the crowd members begin to boo. Not fully because of Rex, but because of his absence as well as his loss at Territorial Invasion.)
Rex McAllister: I know that what I did wasn’t the popular decision, but after going as hard as I have for as long as I have in a profession like this, I did what I felt I had to. However, now I’m back, and I’m ready to keep doing what I do best. I’m ready to once again put in my one hundred percent, and at Road to Redemption I’m ready to reclaim the EAW Championshi-
(Before Rex could finish his sentence, ‘Faneto’ hits. Both Captain Charisma and Rex look surprised, and Rex looks over at the stage as SOSA Henderson begins walking out. He has the EAW Championship around his waist and a microphone in his hand, and the crowd begins booing but SOSA doesn’t really care, and instead begins speaking while on his way to the ring.)
SOSA Henderson: Well well well, look what we have here? The man decided to finally show his face again huh? I find it a little weird you’re just being put in the Chamber when I had to earn my shot against you, but iight. I thought you woulda learned your lesson after I beat ya ass back at Territorial Invasion, but I guess you haven’t had enough yet huh?
(By now SOSA’s already made it into the ring, and he and Rex are basically face to face. The virtual crowd continues booing SOSA, meanwhile Rex looks unamused.)
Rex McAllister: I’ll give you credit where it’s due, SOSA. You beat me at Territorial Invasion. I thought I’d walk out of that match with the EAW Championship even after it became a street fight, but you proved me wrong. I underestimated you, and that’s not a mistake I’m going to repeat at Road to Redemption.
SOSA Henderson: Ohhh… So now you admit you underestimated me! I spent weeks telling you what was gonna happen Rex, it’s too late for all that shit now. You should’ve taken me more seriously when you had the chance. Now ya dumbass ain’t Champion no more, and you’re not getting this title back as long as I’m around. This whole time you were gone doing whatever the fuck you was doing? I was here turning Voltage into MY show. I run this shit now so whatever dreams you had of coming back and just taking the EAW Championship, MY Championship back like nothing? You’re gonna have to kiss that shit goodbye ‘cause there’s no way in Hell I’m letting that happen.
Rex McAllister: I don’t expect to be handed anything. I’m grateful to even have this opportunity, but I’m going to do everything in my power to win that EAW Championship because this is what I do. I’m not going to take this opportunity and just throw it away so if that means taking your prized possession right back and ending the year the same way I ended my season 13, then so be it. I’m going to win the Extreme Elimination Chamber, win the EAW Championship, and end the year as Champion, just like I always wanted. I don’t expect any of this to be easy SOSA, but I’m still going to do it. You managed to beat me at Territorial Invasion, but it’s going to take a Hell of a lot more to keep me away from that Championship.
SOSA Henderson: Well damn, if that’s how you wanna play then that’s cool. Maybe you being added to the match on such short notice ain’t gonna be such a bad thing. Imagine how it’s gonna look when I eliminate yo ass after I already took this title from you? I hope you get a nice good look at this title, because at Road to Redemption you’re not even gonna have to imagine it. I’m walking out of Road to Redemption the same way I walked in. It’s funny that you spent all that time talking shit about me because I took breaks back when I had shit going on, but here you are. It’s all good though, ‘cause wherever you were these past few months? You’re gonna be right back there once Road to Redemption’s over.
Rex McAllister: Well. If you’re so sure about that, then I guess we’ll see come Road to Redemption, won’t we? I know I’m ready for the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and this time I know very well what I’m getting myself into with you, I was in this very match one year ago, only this time things are going to be different. This time, I’m walking out with your Championship, and there’s nothing you can do about that.
(‘Champion’ hits, and both Rex and SOSA stare each other in the eyes as Captain Charisma just watches on. As SOSA takes his Championship and raises it up Rex just watches, and finally Voltage fades out to its first commercial break of the night.)
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption plays.)
(Voltage returns from commercial break, as we see Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring holding an EAW-branded microphone.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Walking the Wire’ by Imagine Dragons hits the speakers, as Alexis Chambers walks through the curtains and onto the stage, to a split reaction from the virtual crowd.)
James Peters: And here comes Alexis Chambers, someone who scored what many call an upset last week. This week she faces another participant of the Specialists Chamber, and she looks to prove it wasn’t an upset, but she genuinely scored the victory.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know about that one, last week Candice was clearly distracted, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Alexis Chambers has great odds in the Specialists Chamber match, whilst not being the absolute favorite to win it.
James Peters: If anything, Alexis needs the win more than anyone, maybe baring the champion herself, just to prove that she is ready, and she is a big time competitor.
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, hailing from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 117 pounds… THE MOTOR CITY GODDESS… ALEXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS CHAAAAAAAAMBEEEEEEEEEERS!
(Alexis climbs onto the apron and enters the ring, before climbing to the top rope and posing. The virtual crowd once again has a split reaction, before her theme fades out and she climbs down. ‘Black Madonna [INSTRUMENTAL]’ by Azealia Banks floods through the speakers, as Lisa Wren walks onto the stage.)
James Peters: Here walks Lisa Wren, who is competing in the Specialists Chamber, looking to take a complete 180 with her career. She went 3-13 in Season 13, but this season she looks to bring a title around her waist.
Rich Russillo: And there’s no better way to do that than winning an Extreme Elimination Chamber match! Not only are you winning a championship, but you are figuratively surviving hell to do so. That takes guts and determination, and Lisa Wren wants to prove she’s worthy of that feat.
James Peters: If Lisa Wren comes out on top in that match, no one will be doubting her abilities afterwards. She will undoubtedly be one of the best to lace up a pair of boots. But the question is, CAN she do it?
Bella Braxton: And introducing her opponent! From British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at 130 pounds… LIIIIISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
(Lisa walks up the steps and enters the ring, before posing as she stares down the hardcam. She turns around, and Alexis and her get into each other’s face, before they’re backed away into their own corners. Lisa’s theme then fades out.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The match is now underway, as Alexis Chambers and Lisa Wren face off ahead of the Specialists Chamber match in two weeks time at Road to Redemption. Alexis and Lisa approach each other in the center of the ring, before locking up with each other! Alexis is the one who takes control, slipping under Lisa’s arm before locking in a headlock, only for Lisa to slip out of it before she can apply any pressure whatsoever! Alexis is caught by surprise when Lisa pushes her forwards, forcing Alexis to bounce off the ropes, falling backwards into a german suplex!
Rich Russillo: But Alexis backflips to her feet, avoiding any damage, as this match starts off with a bang! Alexis Chambers stumbles back to the corner, perhaps not landing very well, the turnbuckles breaking her fall. Lisa Wren slides to her feet, and runs towards Alexis, only to eat the sole of her boot, knocking her down to the ground, as Alexis takes a journey up the turnbuckles! She arrives on the top rope, but Lisa Wren plays it smart and hits a huge kick to Alexis’ upper leg, dropping her down to be seated on the top rope, ripe for the picking!
James Peters: Lisa Wren begins to scale the turnbuckles, as Alexis Chambers wakes up, and tries to fight back with punches! Lisa Wren tanks them however, before delivering a huge elbow strike to Alexis, knocking her back some more, as she takes the final step on the ropes, reaching the very top! Lisa grabs Alexis’ hair, and pulls her up towards her arm, and locks her in position for a superplex! But Alexis fights back, hitting punches to the stomach, weakening Lisa Wren up so the hold loosens, and she can slip out!
Rich Russillo: Alexis Chambers slips her legs backwards on top of the ring post, as she begins to stand up, with Lisa Wren stunned in front of her! This could end terribly for Lisa right here, if it all goes accordingly for Alexis Chambers. Alexis pulls Lisa’s head lower down, before grabbing her around the waist! Perhaps she’s looking for a sunset flip powerbomb to take Lisa out?? Perhaps we’ll never know, as Lisa pulls Alexis’ leg down, forcing her back onto the ring post, seated, as she begins to recover! Alexis Chambers quickly recovers though, as she stands back up and goes for it again-
James Peters: OH MY! LISA WREN PUSHES ALEXIS OUT BY HER SHOULDERS, AND SHE FLIES BACK AND CRASHES BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! AGAIN, ALEXIS CHAMBERS CRASHES INTO THAT PADDED METAL, AT FULL FORCE! THERE’S NO WAY THAT DIDN’T HURT, AND THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S NOT KNOCKED OUT! FOR THOSE WHO BLINKED, ALEXIS CHAMBERS WAS PUSHED OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE, AND HER UPPER BACK HIT THE BARRICADE, AND HARD! THE WHIPLASH OF HER NECK AFTER SHE HIT THE GROUND MUST’VE DONE EVEN MORE DAMAGE TOO, JUDGING BY THE WAY SHE’S SLUMPED OVER!
Rich Russillo: LISA WREN SLIDES OFF THE TOP ROPE, LANDING ON THE APRON, AS SHE STARES TOWARDS ALEXIS, WHO HASN’T MOVED ONCE SINCE IMPACT! LISA WREN QUICKLY MOVES OVER AND GRABS ALEXIS BY THE HAIR, BEFORE DRAGGING HER TO THE APRON! SHE LIFTS HER UP AND SLIDES HER INTO THE RING, BEFORE ENTERING HERSELF! LISA KNEELS DOWN, AND HOOKS ALEXIS’ LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: WHAT!?!? ALEXIS CHAMBERS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO KICK OUT AFTER SUCH A BRUTAL LANDING, I DON’T BELIEVE IT! I’M SURPRISED ALEXIS CAN EVEN MOVE NO MATTER KICK OUT AFTER THAT! AND SO IS LISA!
James Peters: Lisa Wren expected that to be a quick and easy victory, after that huge fall to the outside, but she was proven wrong as Alexis Chambers lifted her arm up to power out! That was seriously amazing, showing the resilience of Alexis Chambers here tonight, much like last week against Candice Blair! Lisa Wren slowly climbs herself to a standing position, whereas Alexis is resting on the ground, which doesn’t seem to be the best tactic in this situation! Lisa Wren seems to have found a target, as she rolls Alexis onto her stomach, before pressing the heel of her boot into Alexis’ neck!
Persephone: Sometimes I wonder what the people think when they’re being targeted. Do they just say “fuck it” and give up like Rich would do?
Rich Russillo: Hey! I’ve never given up at anything!
Persephone: :usure:
Rich Russillo: Well… I did once, but that was one time! Riding a bike is harder than you’d expect.
Persephone: No, not really. The fuck?
Rich Russillo: Man.
James Peters: Lisa Wren now grabs the arms of Alexis Chambers, still pressing her foot into her neck, before she begins to pull the arms! Alexis is really feeling the pain here, and it’s very clear! She’s trying her best not to show weakness, but the bell rings true judging by her facial expressions! I’m pretty sure Lisa Wren knows this too, as she kneels down and transitions into a dragon sleeper! BUT WAIT! ALEXIS CHAMBERS ROLLS BACKWARDS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOO-
James Peters: No! Lisa Wren quickly escapes, but that might’ve been Alexis’ plan! She’s out of the dragon sleeper, and despite the pain, she’s still standing! Lisa Wren begins to get up BUT SHE’S KNOCKED BACK DOWN WITH A ‘LIGHTS OUT’ SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW! ALEXIS CHAMBERS SCATTERS INTO A COVER, THIS COULD BE LIGHTS OUT FOR LISA!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: BUT LISA WREN MANAGES TO POWER OUT! I GUESS IT WASN’T LIGHTS OUT AT ALL, BUT THAT COULD PERHAPS HAVE JUST SET UP THE LIGHTS BEING TURNED OFF FOR LISA! WITH ONE MOVE ALEXIS WAS ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL, MUCH LIKE LAST WEEK, OUT OF SEEMINGLY NOWHERE! THAT’S MORE THAN IMPRESSIVE, THAT’S A SKILL THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE!
Persephone: You being one of them.
Rich Russillo: THAT’S NOT TRUE! Ahem… That’s not true!
Persephone: No, it’s true, VERY true.
James Peters: Alexis Chambers begins to stand back up, holding her neck, as Lisa Wren tries to get to her knees! Alexis Chambers sees this as she leans in the corner, and realizes she’s in the perfect position to end it… AND SHE JUST MIGHT! ALEXIS CHAMBERS RUNS FORWARD AND HITS THE ‘FOH’ SHINING WIZAR-
Rich Russillo: NO! LISA WREN DUCKS, BEFORE ROLLING ALEXIS UP WITH A BACKSLIDE! SHE COULD STEAL IT HERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: ALEXIS KICKS OUT! BOTH COMPETITORS RUSH BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND LISA IS THE FIRST TO STRIKE! SHE ATTEMPTS THE HAIR PULL MAT SLAM, BUT ALEXIS COUNTERS BY SHOVING HER ARMS AWAY, BEFORE LIFTING HER LEG UP FOR A SUPERKICK! LISA WREN COUNTERS THAT BY KICKING ALEXIS IN HER THIGH, WHICH CUTS OFF HER OFFENSE MOMENTARILY! LISA QUICKLY KICKS ALEXIS’ OTHER LEG, DROPPING HER TO THE FLOOR, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND HITTING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ONTO ALEXIS’ NECK-
James Peters: BUT ALEXIS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME BEFORE SHE’S DECAPITATED BY THAT STOMP! ALEXIS SLOWLY RISES TO HER FEET, BEFORE SWINGING A FOREARM AT LISA WREN’S JAW-
Rich Russillo: BUT LISA DUCKS AND TAKES A HOLD OF ALEXIS’ HAIR! HAIR PULL MAT SLAM! SHE JUST TOOK ALEXIS’ HEAD AND DROVE IT INTO THE MAT WITH GREAT SPEED AND POWER! LISA WREN COULD HAVE THIS MATCH WON RIGHT HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT HURT NECK! LISA FALLS INTO A COVER, AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: ALEXIS CHAMBERS POWERS OUT ONCE AGAIN! SHE CONTINUES TO FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN AND DAMAGE CAUSED TO HER NECK AND UPPER BACK, BUT AT WHAT COST? SHE’S SHOWING HEART AND STRENGTH, BUT THIS COULD COST HER NECK IN THE LONG RUN! I KNOW A TON OF WRESTLERS WHO’VE RETIRED AFTER SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
Rich Russillo: Alexis Chambers is tough, it probably isn’t as bad as we’re making it out to be, considering she’s managed to avoid damage to it for the most part, as we’ve seen. And it doesn’t look to have hindered her performance at all either. If I was Lisa Wren, I’d focus on that neck though. As much as it isn’t a full on problem now, it can be down the line if exploited. I think Alexis knows this all too much though, and she’s going to try everything to stop that from happening whilst picking up the victory in the meantime!
James Peters: That’s if it’s even possible to do all of those things at the same time. It’s easier said than done in most cases and this is no difference. But I don’t have my doubts, Alexis Chambers has proven herself week in and week out, and I know she can possibly counter all of the attempts whilst going forward on her path to victory at the same time! Lisa Wren and Alexis Chambers begin to stand up together, as they grab onto each other’s hair! They begin to brawl with each other, hitting forearms and elbow strikes!
Rich Russillo: Trading strikes, these two knock the living shit out of each other! Lisa Wren forearms Alexis straight in the jaw! Alexis punches Lisa in the ear! Lisa forearms Alexis again! Alexis with another punch! Lisa! Alexis! Lisa! Alexis! Lisa! Lisa! Lisa! Alexis! Lisa! Lisa! Lis- SUPERKICK BY ALEXIS CHAMBERS! ‘LIGHTS OUT’!!! LISA WREN STUMBLES BACK, AND HITS THE ROPES, BEFORE FALLING OUT ONTO THE APRON! WAIT! NO, NOT ONTO THE APRON! SHE FALLS BACK INTO THE RING, BEFORE HITTING A HUGE DISCUS KNEE STRIKE ONTO ALEXIS CHAMBERS! ALEXIS FALLS DOWN, AS DOES LISA! NEITHER ONE OF THEM ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL!
James Peters: BOTH OF THESE COMPETITORS ARE GIVING IT THEIR ALL HERE TONIGHT! AFTER BRAWLING WITH ONE ANOTHER, STRIKE AFTER STRIKE AFTER STRIKE, THEY STILL INSIST ON GETTING BACK UP TO KEEP GOING! LISA AND ALEXIS GET TO THEIR KNEES ONCE AGAIN, AND BEGIN TO JAB EACH OTHER SOME MORE! TRADING MORE STRIKES, UNTIL BOTH OF THEM ARE PUSHED AWAY! ALEXIS FALLS TO HER BACK, BUT LISA MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF WITH HER ARM! SHE THEN GRABS ONTO THE ROPES, PICKING HERSELF UP FROM THE GROUND, WHILST ALEXIS IS STILL DOWN THERE!
Rich Russillo: LISA WREN TRIES TO SEIZE HER OPPORTUNITY AND PICK UP THE VICTORY AS SHE WALKS OVER TO ALEXIS, AND GRABS HER BY THE HAIR ONCE MORE, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP! LISA WREN PUSHES ALEXIS INTO THE ROPES, BEFORE WHIPPING HER TO THE OTHER SIDE! SHE’S GONNA HIT IT… BACK BODY DROP INTO A NORTHERN LIGHT- NO! ALEXIS CHAMBERS TRANSITIONS INTO A ROLL UP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
T-
James Peters: LISA WREN KICKS OUT, BUT ALEXIS CHAMBERS DOESN’T ALLOW HER TO TAKE CONTROL THIS TIME! SHE KNEES LISA IN THE STOMACH, CUTTING OFF ANY OPPORTUNITY TO HIT A MOVE ON HER AND COME OUT ON TOP! ALEXIS KNOWS LISA IS LOOKING FOR THE FINISH NOW, AND SHE HAS THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE ON THAT ONE! ALEXIS CHAMBERS IRISH WHIPS LISA INTO THE RING POST, BEFORE FOLLOWING UP WITH A HUGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! SHE THEN HITS A SNAPMARE, BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES HERSELF AND FOLLOWING UP WITH A HUGE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, CLIPPING LISA WREN’S JAW, AND KNOCKING HER HEAD DOWN TO THE GROUND! WANTING TO FOLLOW UP WITH A BANG, SHE CRAWLS OVER TO THE CORNER BEFORE CLIMBING UP THE TURNBUCKLES… SHE STANDS UP STRAIGHT BEFORE LEAPING… ‘HEART STOPPER’ DIVING MOONSAULT!
Rich Russillo: NO! WAIT A SECOND, LISA WREN DODGES, ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY, AS ALEXIS CHAMBERS HITS THE GROUND HARD, FALLING FLAT, SPLATTING AGAINST THE MAT! LISA WREN COULD END IT RIGHT HERE IF SHE WANTED TO, SHE JUST NEEDS TO CAPITALIZE! AND THAT SHE MIGHT DO! LISA WREN GRABS ALEXIS CHAMBERS AND LIFTS HER UP FROM THE GROUND, BEFORE WRAPPING HER ARM AROUND HER HEAD TO STEADY HER! SHE FACES AWAY FROM THE ROPES, AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT SHE’S ABOUT TO GO FOR! LISA WREN RUNS FORWARD, AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, BEFORE LOCKING IN A FLYING CROSS ARMBREAKER-
James Peters: ‘FOH’ SHINING WIZARD OUT OF MID-AIR!!!! ALEXIS WAS PLAYING POSSUM, AND SHE MANAGED TO CATCH LISA WITH HER FINISHER OUT OF THE AIR! LISA IS BARELY MOVING, AS ALEXIS CRAWLS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ALEEEEEXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS CHAAAAAAAAAAAMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!
(‘Walking the Wire’ by Imagine Dragons hits the speakers as Alexis Chambers slowly rolls off of Lisa Wren, holding the back of her neck, as the referee raises her left arm.)
James Peters: She did exactly what was mentioned earlier! She avoided damage to her neck, and found a weakness in Lisa Wren! She managed to realize when Lisa was planning to end the match, and used that as a launching pad so she could hit her finishing move at the exact right time!
Rich Russillo: If she had any doubters before then, they’ve surely been proven wrong tonight. And if not tonight, in two weeks time we’ll possibly see Alexis’ rise to the top as she competes for the Specialist Championship, and she just might win it!
Persephone: Meh.
(As Alexis Chambers celebrates on the top rope, with her left arm raised in the air, Voltage fades to commercial.)
(Commercial for Terry Chambers new diet commercial featuring Jake Smith, who noticeably gets fatter throughout the commercial as he’s following the wrong diet plan and eating how the old Terry did.)
(Voltage comes back from commercial break to the backstage area of the World 1 Theatre as before long in front of the camera are two people. Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin are walking through the halls as both of them are looking at a phone in which Jesse is holding in front of them are they’re scrolling through the phone as both of them have very smug looks on their faces as they do so)
Jesse Barlow: What fucking moron doesn’t put a password on their phone? Making this too easy for us.
Hannah: Myles Myles apparently. Hey what’s this photo?
(The camera pans around the two of them so a good view of what’s on the phone can be seen)

Jesse Barlow: :wtf: This is the guy I’m supposed to be taking seriously? Someone who doesn’t even have a last name and you expect me to believe that he’s going to win over me. Take a look at this one.
(They continue to scroll through the photos before stopping at another)

Hannah: Now that is just sad.
Jesse Barlow: So I’m facing a retarded Ed Sheeran and people continue to doubt my chances? Yeah whatever just keep going through it.
Hannah: Well lookie here…
(Both Jesse and Hannah stop in their tracks as Hannah’s eyes light up as she shows Jesse the photos. Before long Jesse’s smirk continues to grow as he looks over at her)
Jesse Barlow: This should be gold.
(They’re both looking at a very suggestive photo of Minerva as they continue scrolling through the nudes that they found as they laugh to themselves as they do so as they walk away from the camera and Voltage transitions to elsewhere to the locker room backstage as Myles is seen pacing back and forth around the door of the entryway. He walks in again as he tosses things to the side and scavenges through everything that he has in hopes of finding what we can only presume is his phone which is under the possession of one Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin. Myles pushes away multiple things before he hears a knock on the door. He groans as he stands up from where he was and walks over to the door as he stops at it for a moment. He gives a sigh before turning the knob and opening it)
(Before long Adriana Landerson is standing in front of Myles as instantly, his face scrunches up as he sees her. Adriana looks timid and shy as she looks up to Myles and her cheeks instantly light up to a red hue as Myles shakes his head)
Myles: What do you want?
Adriana: Well I just wanted to say… I was at Voltage last week and I was told a few things and I just wanted to say, I think I love you too.
Myles: :comeagain:
Adriana: Well last week I found out that you might be crushing on me as well and I think it’s pretty clear that I have a huge thing for you. I’ve loved you for god knows how long now because of how hot you are, how dreamy… and I was just waiting for that perfect moment to tell you that, but I was afraid. I was afraid because I didn’t know what you would think about me, but now that I know that you think the same about me, I think I want to give it that chance. If you can too…
(Myles is beside himself as he cannot believe what he’s hearing. Adriana looks up to him with a few stray tears in her eyes and a smile on her face as Myles just looks back at her)
Myles: No.
Adriana: Huh?
Myles: I don’t know what hole you just crawled out of but I’m not in the mood to speak to anyone that I don’t give a shit about, in case you didn’t realize, that’s you. If there was a list of people and things that I cared about in my life, you wouldn’t even be close to it. Let this be your lesson in the world since it seems like you’re not even old enough to drive a car yet, life is a bitch. It’ll continue to kick your ass and I hope you realize that everything you aspire for doesn’t always come, so whatever fever dream you’re trying to conjure and manifest to make true, fuck off with that mate. You’re not my friend, you’re not my acquaintance, and you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me if you think I’m anyone close to your lover. Go tell El Jr and your whole family tree for a matter of fact to go fuck themselves because I don’t want them anywhere close to me.
(Adriana would be seen with tears flooding her eyes but not from joy, but because of how hurt she is by Myles’ words)
Adriana: B-but, I love you…
Myles: And I don’t.
(She doesn’t let him say anything else as she begins to cry as she quickly turns around and runs away from the locker room as fast as she can. Myles looked out the door before shaking his head as he closed the door to his locker room, going back to looking for his phone as from there Voltage would cut to Adriana Landerson quickly running through the halls of the locker room. At Gorilla Position, Landerson and El Jr are seen as Adriana runs into the arms of Landerson. She’s sobbing into him as Landerson strokes her hair back before looking over to El Jr)
El Jr: How disgusting do you have to be…
Landerson: I didn’t agree to this in any sort of way, I didn’t approve of her going to him in the first place, but it’s not her fault, she’s 19, she’s growing. But the most Myles needed to say was no, and I would’ve understood that, but now he crossed the line. He did the worst thing you could do to a father, and that is insult family, and now that is something that I cannot forgive.
El Jr: I told her not to do it, now look. But it just further shows how much of a sadistic human being that Myles is, why? This could scar her for life. I’m sorry pops, I can’t stand idle and expect this to fly, it just doesn’t work like that.
Landerson: I understand. He hurt her, we both have to make him pay, not just you. Here, I’m going to go have a talk with Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma, I’ll be back, don’t leave her side.
(Landerson walks away and begins to head to his office as El Jr sits Adriana down and attempts to console her as that was the last thing seen as from there Voltage would transition to elsewhere)
(Voltage cuts to a pre-recorded segment. This time, it’s Candice Blair that enters the camera’s view.)
Narrator: State your name for the record please.
Candice Blair Candice Blair Ava, ‘The Hot Commodity’ and the hottest rising star since…well ever.
Narrator: How long have you been wrestling? What have you accomplished thus far?
Candice Blair: My wrestling debut was in 2011; however, I took a six year hiatus and pursued modeling. I didn’t get back to wrestling until 2017, wrestling all around the world and became one of the hottest foreign wrestlers in Japan for a brief period of time in 2018. I traveled from one company to another over the past two years. Never seems to find a company that I found home, but I used the time to gain experience in any wrestling promotion that I got booked at. It was beneficial for me. It got me exploring all types of wrestling from strong style to technical from the standard mat wrestling.
Narrator: Did you ever envision yourself competing for the biggest company in the world?
Candice Blair: Yes, it’s always been on the radar for me. Even when I was competing in other wrestling promotions, EAW was always on my radar. People kept telling me whenever I was going to join EAW with my sister and what not. I am still going to continue to flex to this day that EAW contacted me. I never had to contact EAW. I never had to beg on my knees for this job. They looked at me. They loved me. They loved my potential, so they signed me on a lucrative contract. My intention was to be a part-timer, but times have changed, I’ve evolved and I continue to constantly kill it on Voltage and EAW as a whole.
Narrator: What are your thoughts about your current position in EAW?
Candice Blair: Not to sound humble, but I never envisioned myself in the spot that I am. I never envisioned myself getting another opportunity at a championship so quick. The Extreme Elimination Chamber was almost like my coming out party, where people began to see who I am as a competitor. I like being in the position as a rising star. I like fighting for something. I like looking at those people who are the supposed favorites and it makes me hungry to surpass them. People look at me and they know that I’m a future goat in this company. They see something in me that needs to be unleashed in the world.
Narrator: What does competing in the Specialists Chamber mean to you?
Candice Blair: I like to look at this as a one year challenge thing for me. As I said, last year, was probably one of the firsts matches that people saw of me on a big stage such as Road to Redemption, but to take part of the match again? It’s exciting because it’s going to provide wonderful insight for people to see how much I’ve grown in the past year. I feel like I’m more experienced in title pictures. I’m not going into this match full of nativity and zero knowledge about what I am going to go through in this match. I have the experience of last year’s Chamber in my favor and looking around my fellow competitors, I’m the only woman who will be entering the match for a zero time in her career.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in this match? Why?
Candice Blair: Despite already defeating her, Kasey Kaos is probably the biggest competition in the match. If there is any other woman, who is prepared for any type of match like this, it’s Kasey. There’s no doubt that losing to me has made her a bit more cutthroat. It’s made her more determined to assure everyone that she is going to do what she can to keep the Specialists Championship in her possession. I looked into her eyes last week when she cost me a victory over Alexis Chambers. She is going to be out for blood in that Specialists Champion. Despite me being a pretty face, I managed to get underneath her skin. I managed to shatter her expectations of her destroying me in the ring.
Narrator: What does the title of Specialists Champion mean to you?
Candice Blair: Brody Sparks, Andrea Valentine and my sister, Consuela, are three names that elevated the Specialists Championship. I want to assure everyone that Candice Blair is going to be the fourth woman on that list to elevate the Specialists Championship and make it a title that people care about. I see it as a title that’s built people up that are more than ready to become World Champions. It has become the one title that has made women’s careers. Even though my career is already in a good direction, getting that Specialists Championship will make things even better for me. The Specialists Championship symbolizes the work horses of the Women’s Division and there is no other woman, who works as hard as I do.
Narrator: How would you elevate the belt?
Candice Blair: The name ‘Candice Blair’ as Specialists Champion, automatically elevates the Specialists Championship. It makes that title just that much better than all of the midcard championships in this company. I am the woman that brings the attention to everyone whenever she steps inside the ring. People are constantly wondering what the hell is Candice Blair is going to be doing next? As Specialists Champion, the importance of the title will increase with me as the champion.
Narrator: Anything you want to say to your fellow chamber participants?

Candice Blair: No one is ready for whatever I am going to bring to the table. I’m aware that Harlow Reichert and Alexis Chambers have victories over me, but it’s back to the drawing board with me. I’m going to look back at the tapes, see where I went wrong in those matches, but once I do, it’s over for all of them. As for Kasey Kaos, I’ve gotten the best out of her and she can’t seem to accept that. That anger and bitterness is really going to get the best out of her. As for Lisa Wren and Nina Bravo? They’re irrelevant in this story. They’re just other names in this match and offer nothing to the table. Yeah, women want to come up to me like I don’t deserve my spot in this match. No, I deserve it more than most of the women in this match. Are we going to expect them to put on a decent performance in this match? No, they’ll give forgettable performances. A year from now, they won’t even be here in this company. They’ll fade in the background while I break out and become the best damn thing that this company has. They don’t need to believe it, but just watch me shine at Road to Redemption.
Narrator: Thank you for your time.
Candice Blair: My pleasure.
(Candice takes her leave after exiting her seat, as Voltage fades out and back to ringside.)
(“Hell on Heels” by Pistol Annies starts playing as The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling, Kensingten Calhoun-Astor came out to the ring as she is going to be facing a debuting superstar tonight, Bella Braxton is ready for her ring announcements.)
Bella Braxton: This singles match is scheduled for ONE FALL! Making her way to the ring: From Savannah, Georgia. Weighing in at 143 pounds, she is The First Lady, KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTORRR!!!!!
James Peters: Tonight, Kensingten is going to face someone brand new!
Rich Russillo: A fresh face that’ll sell in the future of Voltage that’s for sure.
Persephone: We never know guys. She could just be a nerd who loses a lot.
James Peters: What makes you say that?
Persephone: I guess we’ll have to find out after this match.
James Peters: She’ll probably prove to you that she isn’t here just for one match, now about Kensingten. Kensingten will definitely get bigger benefits after this match, regardless of the results.
Persephone: What do you mean?
Rich Russillo: If she wins, she’ll look very strong and determined because this debuting superstar is promising enough so beating her won’t be easy. However, if The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling loses, she can be credited for building up this new star.
James Peters: Speaking of the new star, I think she is ready to come out to the ring!
(As Kensingten’s theme music died down, ‘Extraordinary Girl’ by Green Day starts playing as the newly debuted Holly Arrow appeared with a very big smile on her face as the kids in the virtual crowd are very excited to see her. Kensingten is looking around as she is seeing the positive reaction from the crowd. She nodded and Holly Arrow entered the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent: From Gold Coast, Australia, weighing in at 151 pounds, she is The Diamond Darling, HOLLY ARRRRRRROWWWWW!!!
James Peters: Making her Voltage debut and she already deserved one word! Promising.
Rich Russillo: We’ll have to wait for this match to happen and see the results before being the judges.
James Peters: Her entrance showed that she understands entertainment!
Persephone: I don’t find her entertaining. If that is entertaining, then even my commentary is amazing.
Rich Russillo: You are being too low on yourself, Persephone.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Now the match has begun and they quickly locked up as Holly Arrow is seen controlling Kensingten. Holly got the hold but Kensingten quickly pushed her to the turnbuckle, Holly bounced from there and a monkey flip was done to Kensingten as she landed on her back! Kensingten charged to Arrow but Arrow caught her with an elbow smash! A chop is done and the impact can be heard even by the virtual crowd! She might have gone for another chop, yes she did! Kensingten is seen grabbing her chests as she is enduring the pain but Holly isn’t waiting any longer as she throws Kensingten to the ropes, Clothesline attempt, pretty obvious to the point where it can easily be countered. The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling might be in danger as she tried to attempt a Hurricanrana but was countered by Holly’s strength as she sent Kensingten down with a powerbomb!
Rich Russillo: Holly quickly got her up again for another headlock, this time was countered as Kensingten managed to grab a hold of Arrow’s hand and Arrow broke the submission. Arrow quickly tried to push Kensingten but Kensingten countered with a push of her own and that sent Arrow flying but she managed to do a Kip Up! This actually felt like a dance if I’m being honest, they’re fighting like they’re playing an act on a musical. Arrow went with some elbow shots but none of them affected The First Lady as Kensingten Calhoun-Astor quickly threw her to the turnbuckle again! Arrow landed there and Kensingten went with a Stingers Splash! Kensingten with a Snapmare and a kick to the back of Arrow’s h- oh she rolled out of her way. She went to the nearest ropes but Kensingten ran to her to grab her legs, she is bringing him to the middle of the ring but she is refusing the move! She tried her best to kick her way to escape.
Persephone: This doesn’t look good for a debuting star, hoping that I could see something better for once.
James Peters: However, The Steel Magnolia of EAW looked like she was going to force Holly to tap out as she went with a Boston Crab and OH, HOLLY IS STRONG!!! Holy crawled to the ropes with her legs up as the Boston Crab was tight enough but she still managed to escape. Kensingten tried grabbing her feet again but she managed to escape again and they are both on their feet as Calhoun-Astor is seen charging on her opponent, Jumping DDT countered as Holly Arrow went with a Front Suplex! Kensingten landed flat! Holly Arrow was face as she quickly grabbed Kensingten again, throwing her to the turnbuckle!
Rich Russillo: A corner dropkick was done to Kensingten and she slapped her right in the face! Holly went with a nasty chop and she grabbed The First Lady and executed a Bulldog! She grabs her again, sudden DDT from Holly Arrow countered by a Northern Lights Suplex by The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling! She went with a normal armbar on Holly Arrow as The Aussie Archer is seen struggling while moving her hand to the ropes. She decides to escape by force as she punched Kensingten in the head non-stop. Kensingten let go of the submission as she was checking on her face, Holly was standing up with some assistance from the ropes, Kensingten quickly charged to her but she got caught as Holly Arrow delivered a Slingblade! She grabs her and lifts her up, that strength by the new star is impressive!
Persephone: She is pretty strong.
James Peters: Kitchen Sink from The Main Attraction sent Kensingten Calhoun-Astor back to the land of humbleness! She is really trying her best to recover but Holly Arrow’s movements are unstoppable. Holly Arrow with a chop before she went with another Monkey Flip! Monkey Flip connects but Kensingten landed on her own two feet and she ran to the ropes, Holly didn’t know this, Big Boot landed! Now, The First Lady is pissed off, hoho! You are dead, new wrestler. Kensingten Calhoun-Astor went with some brutal punches as she wants to murder and brutalize her opponent tonight, showing her no mercy. She went with a normal sleeper but that didn’t make Holly Arrow unconscious and instead it did worse: It woke her up.
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow countered the sleeper and we are back on where we started, a headlock that is commonly known as the test of strength as Holly Arrow is showing her own potential. I am sure that a lot of people believed in her, you can see the kids watching live, they’re happy! Holly Arrow throws Kensingten to the ropes, Kensingten with the handstand headscissors takedown! She threw Holly Arrow out of the ring, Tope Con Hil- Arrow with that sudden counter of my god! What happened there, we need to look at the replays! Give us some seconds. So literally, she did an elbow smash sending Kensingten down, making her effort pretty much worthless. Holly Arrow now quickly throws her to the steps and Kensingten is now using it to her assistance! Holly isn’t waiting any longer, she ran to the steps and OH MY GOD!!!! HOLLY ARROW WITH HER SIGNATURE MOVE, A CANADIAN DESTROYER THAT IS CALLED THE DIAMOND DESTROYER! THAT WAS OUT OF NOWHERE!!!
James Peters: Kensingten Calhoun-Astor is down, she is dizzy and unconscious, giving Holly Arrow an advantage as Arrow throws her back into the ring before going to the top rope. ARROW IS GOING FOR ANOTHER SIGNATURE, THE THUNDERSTRUCK WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS A SWANTON BOMB AND SHE MISSED HER TARGET AS KENSINGTEN ESCAPED!!!! Kensingten got out of the ring again and she starts monologuing against her adversary as she is taunting Holly Arrow live on Voltage. This disrespect is pretty much uncalled and I think Holly might want to do more than win. Holly got up and she grabbed the ropes to help her stand but Kensingten isn’t playing nice as she grabbed the legs and now it’s her turn to throw Holly to the steps, BUT HOLLY BOUNCED, TORNADO DDT TO KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR!!! More chops to her chest and I think that’s enough to put her down. Holly quickly threw Kensingten back again, this time with a second attempt for a high flying move. THE 450 SPLASH, PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF, COUNTERED BY KENSINGTEN AS SHE GOT HER, KITCHEN SINK! A SNAPMARE AND A DROPKICK TO HER HEAD FROM THE STEEL MAGNOLIA OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING.
Persephone: I think I’ve seen the same sequence for like 5 times.
Rich Russillo: The First Lady got The Aussie Archer to stand up and she went with a fast three-quarter facelock Russian leg sweep! She is ready to set herself up as she is going to fly high with Holly Arrow tonight, only on Voltage, they both went to the top, HEY DON’T TELL ME THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE! TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX!!!!!!! KENSINGTEN QUICKLY WENT FOR THE COVER, IS THIS ENOUGH TO PUT HOLLY ARROW DOWN?
Referee: ONE!!!! TWO!!!! THR-
James Peters: GOOD EFFORT BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT HER DOWN! Kensingten is asking the referee as if he just made a mistake. Kensingten looked at the crowd cheering for the newbie, she wasn’t pleased at all. She went with a Biel Throw, more to humiliate Holly Arrow! SHE QUICKLY GOT HER WITH THE SOUTHERN SWAG SHOT!!!!!!! SHE IS READY TO END THIS FOR REAL! KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR IS ENDING THIS ON HER OWN! SHE QUICKLY WENT TO THE TOP ROPE ON THE MOONSAULT POSITION, HOPING THAT HOLLY ARROW WILL GET UP ON TIME, AND SHE DID!!! PHOENIX DRAGONRANA, THE SOUTH STAR, CONNECTED, SHE GOT IT, SHE GOT I- WAIT HOLLY ROLLED HER BACK DOWN AND HOLLY GOT THE PIN RIGHT NOW, WAIT, WAIT!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!! TWO!!!!!! THREE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: What a way to have your debut! She just beat a big star in EAW’s women’s division. She just got lucky enough to destroy The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling.
Persephone: I still don’t think of it as something worth fanboying over. She is still a new wrestler to this new environment.
Rich Russillo: She has 6 years of experience, that should help her if you ask me.
Persephone: Oh yes, she debuted in 2014. Forgot about that fact.
James Peters: Now, ready for Bella Braxton to announce her as the winner in her debut match.
Bella Braxton: And your winner… HOLLY ARROWW!!!!!!!!!
(‘Extraordinary Girl’ by Green Day starts playing as the referee raises Holly Arrow’s hand, signalling her as the winner of the match but Kensingten is still pissed off as she is on a rampage outside of the ring. Holly Arrow looked at the wrestler she just defeated while also holding her jaw after The Southern Swag Shot. She is laughing at Kensingten Calhoun-Astor right now and Kensingten entered the ring. The commentators are questioning this.)
Persephone: What is she going to do? Oh, giving her a handshake, of course!
James Peters: Isn’t it pretty bizarre to see someone doing a rampage before shaking hands with the wrestler who beat her.
Rich Russillo: AND OH, OF COURSE THAT WASN’T GENUINE AT ALL! KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR WITH THE SOUTHERN SWAG SHOT, SHUTTING HOLLY ARROW DOWN AND KENSINGTEN WENT WITH SOME ELBOW SHOTS AND THE REFEREE IS ASKING FOR HER TO STOP! The referee is doing the counts but they don’t matter because this obviously isn’t a match. Kensingten told Arrow to talk more as she still is delivering elbow shots to her face and blood starts pouring out of Arrow’s nose but thankfully the damage was not that harmful!
James Peters: What was Kensingten Calhoun-Astor thinking? She is now staring on Holly Arrow, who is getting checked by the medical team and Kensingten is just smiling. This is a psychopath’s work.
Persephone: That is a sad ending for a debut. At least she won the match.
(The situation ended with Kensingten Calhoun-Astor blowing a kiss on the lying Holly Arrow that is likely unconscious due to the post-match assault.)

(‘Blood, Milk and Sky’ by White Zombie plays through the speakers of the World 1 Theatre. The crowd has their mixed reception of Minerva, who has a serious and frustrated look on her face. Since this season began, there’s a ton of things that Minerva is unhappy about and she plans to let people know about it.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… ‘THE GYPSY MOTH’…MINERVA!!!!!!!
James Peters: We’ve been hearing it all week, Minerva plans to call out Sienna Jade to the ring! The beef between these two women began at Wicked Games with Sienna costing Minerva’s match against Terry Chambers, which could have qualified her for the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but that didn’t happen.
Rich Russillo: Sienna Jade wasn’t really taking Minerva seriously. Sienna had bigger fish to try. She had the Grand Prix to worry about. Now, it seems like Sienna has Minerva to worry about. I’m wondering if Sienna will respond to Minerva’s request to step into the ring against her.

Persephone: Oh god, who the fuck cares? Both of these two are some of the whiniest women that we have on Voltage. It’s going to be a huge tantrum fest here.
James Peters: I’m interested to see if Sienna Jade answers Minerva’s call and what she will say if she does.
(The camera pans to Minerva already inside the ring with a microphone in her hand. ‘Blood, Milk and Sky’ fades as Minerva is stuck with her thoughts.)
Minerva: I’ve made everyone aware that each week, I’ve grown more frustrated. This slippery slope since losing my title at Bloodsport was something that’s really gotten on my nerves. This season has not gone the way I would have hoped, but I’ve never been the one to whine and complain the moment that they experience any ounce of adversity. Women like Serena Bennett, Kassidy Heart and like the thorn on my side at the moment, Sienna Jade are just a few of the women, who aren’t able to handle any sort of loss and setbacks if it hit them in their pretty plastic faces. Oh no, they are just a few of the women, who will blame the system for holding them down, ignoring the fact that the system has always been in their favor. Women like Sienna Jade are the first to point the finger at other people, refusing to hold themselves accountable for their own losses. Myles destroyed her at Wicked Games. Sienna Jade once stood on the pedestal as National Elite Champion and was knocked off by him. Instead of dusting herself off and going back to square one, she got bitter. She decided to be a petty bitch and stir shit … and with me, a woman, who could physically rip her apart in the ring if she wanted too. She decided to get herself in my crosshairs. I was just seconds away from defeating Terry Chambers and solidifying my claim to become EAW Champion. Until Sienna showed up, sticking her nose in my business. She handed Terry Chambers a victory on a silver platter, but let’s be realistic here – Terry would never get a victory over me without any sort of controversy. Now, Terry was an opportunist and took advantage of what was in front of him. I would have done the same thing, but does that mean that Terry Chambers is better than me? No, but he can enjoy his victory. He can continue to gloat about it, claiming that he proved the naysayers wrong, but when we meet again, it will be me who stands tall.
Minerva: What’s the reason that I’m out here? I’ll give you two words: Sienna Jade. The last two that we interacted, I couldn’t help, but think that Sienna brushed me off. She decided to brush me off as someone who is not worth her precious time. Even though she was the woman who wrong me at Wicked Games, she didn’t want to face the consequences of what happens when anyone wrongs me. I was patient though, I had to sit through the Grand Prix semi-finals, waiting to see if Sienna got through. Instead, she found herself getting pinned by the Blicky Boyz, who took Jaded Hearts’ dreams of maintaining their status as Grand Prix winners. Boohoo for Sienna Jade, who thought that she could use this entire Grand Prix as an excuse to avoid any sort of confrontation with me, now has me on the other side, ready to rip her apart. Now, Sienna has no excuse to duck me anymore. Sienna, I’m calling you out to the ring and if you’re woman enough, I would get inside the ring.
(Minerva awaits for Sienna Jade’s arrival, but nothing. No sign of Sienna and that infuriates Minerva, who just wants to get her hands on Sienna.)
Minerva: It’s not really a shock that Sienna Jade doesn’t have the spine to come out here and face the woman who took the possibility of entering the Extreme Elimination Chamber. This has been the one match that I’ve been waiting for since Wicked Games. Hell, you could say that I’ve been waiting for this match beforehand. Sienna is the golden girl. She’s decorated. She’s held multiple championships. She is the standard that this company has on who gets thrusted into the spotlight and who has to stand and the background and wait for the opportunity to come to them. Despite already accomplishing so much, Sienna was more than willing to take stuff away from me. The victory that was supposed to be mine at Wicked Games is the one big thing that she took from me and that doesn’t sit well with me. If I would have won the match, I would have qualified for the Extreme Elimination Chamber. I could have gone on to become EAW Champion, but no, it can be so easy for me like it’s been for Sienna and the rest of the golden girls. She could have come out and justified her reasoning for costing me the match at Wicked Games. Instead, she validates all of my claims other than being nothing more than a spineless bitch. If Sienna won’t come out, I might as well go in the back and —
(‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts blasts through the arena as Sienna Jade comes out with a microphone already in her hands. Sienna doesn’t look quite interested in what Minerva has to say, but might as well give Minerva SOME of her time. Sienna stands on top of the stage as she looks at Minerva in the ring, who is more than demanding for Sienna to get her ass inside the ring. Her entrance music dies down.)
Sienna Jade: Isn’t it obvious, Minerva? I’m just not interested in facing you. I’m not interested in anything that concerns you. You aren’t someone that I am anxious to step into the ring. Even though I would drag you by your poorly orange haired roots, it’s not something that’s in the cards with me. I’m just not interested, Minerva. I’m not interested in facing a whiny crybaby like yourself. Oh god, I wasn’t sure if I was listening to an actual grown ass woman or if I was looking at a pubescent child, who throws a tantrum when things don’t go her way. ‘Wahhh, Sienna cost me my match!!!!’ “Wahhh, I’m not in the forefront of the women’s division!!!!’ ‘Omg, I am being soooo oppressed right now because I dress like some goth harlot who is late for my 10 PM appointment in my pimp daddy’s shack.’ Give me a fucking break. It feels so tiring to hear you give the same ‘woe-is-me’ speech that we’ve been hearing since the moment that you arrived on the scene. You bitch about not being a ‘golden girl.’ You bitch about no one giving a fuck about you. You bitch about the lack of opportunities, but you do nothing to change your scenario. You would rather complain about your position in the company than do anything to change it. You want to complain that you’ve faced more adversity than me? Bitch, please. I’ve faced more adversity than you think that you have. Losing back-to-back Pain for Pride main events, one of those being by a bulldyke who thought that she was the face of this company. I’ve lost championships. I’ve had my own road of being up and down, but no one can deny that I didn’t go out there each and every time and made them pay attention to me. I have overcome it. I have done everything I can to not let these bullshit situations weigh me down because Sienna Jade has never been the woman to fade into the background and let these talentless women stink up whatever championship picture that they desire. Maybe, I did SOSA a favor by not having you be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. When you would have lost the match, we’d be getting the same speech about you being held back by management and that’s not something that we need.
Sienna Jade: You look at me and you see a woman who has managed to accomplish everything that you’ve wanted to accomplish for yourself, Minerva. You want to be in my position so bad, but what you need to realize is that you’ll never lace up my boots. You’ll never be as good as me. You will never be Sienna motherfucking Jade. Now, Minerva; I’ve been hearing for weeks about how I’ve been ‘ducking’ you and how you’ve wanted this match against me to get some revenge for what I did at Wicked Games, but you can go fuck yourself. I would do to you what I did to Constance Blevins at Bloodsport if you even try to get inside the same ring as me.
Minerva: Is that a challenge?
Sienna Jade: Get real, I got better things to do with my time than facing some whiny bitch like yourself —
James Peters: MINERVA SPRAYS ‘THE DARK’ ON SIENNA JADE!!!! THE BLACK MIST GETS IN THE EYES OF THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!!!
Rich Russillo: YOU THOUGHT, JAMES, BUT SIENNA JADE MANAGES TO DUCK ‘THE DARK’ AS SHE TACKLES MINERVA! SIENNA IS THROWING LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS AT THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! MINERVA IS TRYING TO ROLL HERSELF ON TOP OF SIENNA AS SHE MANAGES TO PUNCH THE HELL OUT OF SIENNA! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE RIPPING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER! THEY ARE NOT GIVING THE OTHER ANYTIME TO BREATHE! SIENNA MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF ON TOP OF MINERVA BEFORE CLAWING HER FACE, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF BACK ON TOP OF SIENNA BEFORE WRAPPING HER HANDS ON SIENNA’S NECK, CHOKING THE LIVING HELL OUT OF HER! :damn:

Persephone: Please, god. Can we get a death here?
James Peters: The security is coming out! About a dozen security guards are racing out to pull Minerva away from Sienna Jade! It takes about six security guards to pull Minerva away from. Sienna! The other six security guards manage to get a hold of Sienna as they manage to separate them into separate corners! You can see the blood pouring out of Minerva’s mouth as she is glaring right at Sienna!
Minerva: (off-mic) I AM GOING TO KILL YOU AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) I LIKE YOU SEE YOU TRY! BRING IT ON!
(Some of the security is trying to push Minerva towards the outside of the ring, getting her the hell away from Sienna Jade. Minerva has her sights set on Sienna, more than looking to beat the hell out of her, but Minerva sighs and exits the ring. Some of the security is escorting her out of the ring and helping her to the back. Sienna Jade has an intense look on her face, knowing that she has a ton of things in store for Minerva at Road to Redemption.)

(Eddie Magnum smirks, dancing some down the ramp. The entire time he mouths the words to the song. As he rolls under the ropes into the ring, he kips up and yells “welcome to my world now bitches!” with his arms extended outward.)
James Peters: One of the newcomers here in the EAW and though he hasn’t found much success, Eddie Magnum has the talent to succeed here on Voltage, though he will be tested against a very angry and evil man in Shane Gates.
Rich Russillo: And right now, this is the man you don’t want to face. He had a classic with Minerva last week, but he is the kind of wrestler that is at his most dangerous, looking for that elusive win after dropping a few high profile matches, one that would have gained him entry to the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Persephone: Hopefully, he is so mad, that he comes out and destroys this guy and make it quick. The Amazing Race is on tonight.
(“Overlord” by Suicide Silence replaces Eddie’s theme, as it hits, and the crowd begins to boo. Shane Gates makes his way out, with Lizzie the Graveyard Doll in his hands as he slowly walks down to the ring.)

(Shane makes it to the ring, slowly getting in with a cold stare.)
James Peters: This is a man with cruel intent. He is looking to send some shockwaves and last week we saw how talented he was, but we have always seen that from him, I think now though after the Graveyard Match the man has a purpose.
Rich Russillo: I totally agree with that James, but what Shane Gates needs more than anything is simple, he needs to make a statement here, bottom line, go out there and dominate this match, show the EAW and the Voltage Brand that he is not some smoke and mirrors.
Persephone: No, he needs to kick this loser’s ass so we can get on with the rest of the show, that is what he needs.
(Shane Gates stands there staring at Eddie as the music dies down. The referee checks both men and calls for the bell.)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Eddie Magnum smirks, dancing a little before pointing right at Shane, he then turns to Lizzie the Doll and starts dancing in front of her, when suddenly he turns and Shane runs him over with a big boot!)
James Peters: Eddie was dancing to the doll and Shane Gates to exception to that! He just took his head off with that huge boot and Eddie Magnum is already out of it! His head snapped back violently!
Rich Russillo: Yes it did and Magnum is in a lot of trouble, Shane Gates is picking him back up, setting him up by throwing against the ropes, she spins, DISCUS LARIAT! HE JUST TOOK EDDIE MAGNUM’S HEAD OFF! SHANE GATES IS NOT WORKING BY THE HOUR TODAY THAT IS FOR SURE!
Persephone: Come on Shane! I will never say anything bad about you again if you beat this guy in the next 60 seconds!
James Peters: Shane Gates picks Eddie back up, this time he kicks him right in the gut, picks him up for a Powerbomb…. ACE HIGH AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AND NOW HE IS STUMBLING FORWARD INTO THE RECKONING! SHANE GATES HIST THE RECKONING! THIS ONE HAS TO BE OVER!
(Gates places a foot on Eddie’s chest….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. SHANE GATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“Overlord” by Suicide Silence starts to play throughout the arena. Shane Gates stares at the fallen Eddie Magnum with absolutely no remorse. The referee tries to raise his arm in victory, but he yanks it away, still staring down at the fallen Magnum.)
James Peters: Statement made! Shane Gates wasn’t playing around! He came here tonight to let everyone know that he is still one of the most dangerous men in all of the EAW!
Persephone: Thank you! Thank you! I will never say anything derogatory about Shane again!
Rich Russillo: He needed this, he had to come out here tonight and send the message, he did just that and…. Wait… what is Shane Gates doing! He is staring at Lizzie who is now smiling! He is hoisting up Magnum, with another Iron Claw! This move is so dangerous! He lifts him back up and ANOTHER RECKONING! SHANE GATES PLANTED ANOTHER RECKONING! BUT HE IS STILL HOLDING ON TO THATA CLAW AND THE REFEREE CAN’T BREAK IT FREE!
James Peters: HE IS PICKIN HIM BACK UP FOR A THIRD RECKONING! HE JUST CRUSHED THE SKULL OF EDDIE MAGNUM! WHO IS NOT MOVING! HE MAY HAVE SUSTAINED PERMANENT DAMAGE TO HIS SKULL! WE DON’T KNOW BUT LOOK AT THE COLD STARE OF GATES! Wait….. Lizzie! He walks over to Lizzie and sits her on the chest of Magnum! She is starting to cackle!
Persephone: Okay this is like really creepy; I am out of here!
Rich Russillo: The EMT’s are coming out and Shane just stares at Magnum while Lizzie is laughing!
(Shane continues to stare before picking up Lizzie and slowly leaving the ring. The EMT’s now pay attention to the fallen Eddie Magnum who lies still, there is some blood in the back of his head from the continues slams to his head. Shane turns and smiles.)
James Peters: Looks like we may have lost Eddie for a period of time.
Persephone: How about never come back.
(The EMT’s start to tend to Eddie Magnum as Shane continues to look at his handy work while Lizzie starts to laugh.)
(It’s in the backstage area where Voltage viewers find the scene taking place once it fades in, and the camera comes down upon Captain Charisma with Holly Arrow, Kensingten Calhoun-Astor, and Shane Gates. After losing to Holly earlier, it’s clear that Kensingten would much rather not have anything to do with her in the moment, but with Captain Charisma addressing them, it must be important!)
Captain Charisma: Thank you, you three, for making the time right now! Now, with Road to Redemption coming up, I did say there’d be more some opportunities to make it on the card. With that said, I have decided that the three of you will be put into the elimination match at Road to Redemption! While the fact that it’ll be an elimination-styled match, that’s all there is for me to tell you at the moment, as more details will begin to come out about the match!
(Shane merely nods his head with quiet understanding, which is noticeable compared to Holly’s blatant excitement. But Kensingten being Kensingten, she of course, is quick to draw attention back to herself by waving off the idea of not knowing anything else but her FPV match.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Frankly, I don’t care for the details, Mr. Captain Charisma, because the details are the least of my concern. No matter what the extra stipulations may be, I’m more than confident that I’ll be more than ready to take them on. I’ve always embraced the challenge of my matches with the most open of arms, and this will absolutely not be any different! No matter who it is that will be in the ring with me, they won’t be allowed to stand in my way; at Road to Redemption, Kensingten Calhoun-Astor WILL get her first FPV victory! That much I’m willing to promise, and no amount of luck on the part of anyone else will stop me.
(Kensingten nods her head in a reassuring manner just for Holly to step up, making her voice heard to get Kensingten’s attention.)
Holly Arrow: Sorry, excuse me here just a second, Kensingten, but it sounded to me like you’re trying to attribute my win over you tonight all completely to luck.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Take it however you want, honey, but when it comes down to it, it was only a roll-up; hardly anything impressive and definitely nothing worth talking about at the end of the day. It’s anything to brag about but it’s also not anything a competitor of my caliber should be falling to; tonight is just another reason why I’m sick of losing and constantly coming up short, and that’s why it has to change come Road to Redemption!
Holly Arrow: Well, if that’s how you feel, then you aren’t gonna end up liking what would happen to you at Road to Redemption, because I’ve got every intention of continuing to outsmart you and continuing to impress. Maybe you aren’t too thrilled about how I won tonight, but there’s no denying that I won and that I earned it. But if that wasn’t impressive enough for you or anyone else, I’ll be sure to impress in the elimination match! It’s my first FPV match and I’m so excited to be have a spot on the Road to Redemption card; it just means more to prove as Charisma here was more than happy to have me on Voltage last week-
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: And loooooord, look at what he and everyone else watching got tonight from you: something forgettable. If you plan on trying to sneak away with another win at Road to Redemption like you did earlier, you’ve got another thing coming.
Shane Gates: You two talk too much.
(The attention of the other three comes upon Shane as he speaks for the first time since being in the group.)
Shane Gates: People have continued to underestimate me, but time and time again, I’ve shown throughout plenty of matches just how destructive I can be. There’s no denying that my opponents have left from that ring knowing that I gave them not just a fight but Hell between those ropes. And if the three of us being involved in the match at Road to Redemption suggests multiple opponents for me? It’ll just mean more of those for me to leave my mark on. I destroyed my opponent tonight and I can say that I’d only ever be looking to do the same when Road to Redemption comes around. I missed out on the chance to qualify for the Chamber Match and compete for the EAW World Championship – it was taken from me when it was realized Azrael needed saving, but that’s why going forward, I’m taking every chance I get to do as much damage as possible. Whoever else I end up crossing paths with, they won’t forget Shane Gates.
(Holly and Kensingten appear to be almost speechless, unsure of how to assess that perspective when it comes to themselves and Shane’s obvious bloodlust.)
Captain Charisma: Well, um, you know what? I’m just glad you’re excited. I really appreciate the, uh, enthusiasm, Shane!
(Captain Charisma pats Shane’s shoulder with a grin, but as Shane looks down at the hand on him and then to Captain Charisma with that unmoved, cold stare, Captain Charisma pulls back before simply nodding at the trio before heading off, leaving them with the news.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Riiiight, yeah, about Road to Redemption, Shane, may be you will or maybe you won’t be able to run through Holly here like it’ll be nothing, but I, for one, am not letting anything or anyone stand in my way. Not you, not some horror movie doll, and definitely not some lucky rookie – whatever details are to come about this match of ours, I’ll still be the one coming out of it all standing tall.
Holly Arrow: Honestly, Kensingten, I’m getting kinda tired of you making it seem like I only just had one good night as if that’s all it was and that I won’t be able to handle myself going forward. I was signed because I work hard and after tonight, there’s only more to-
(Holly finds herself being cut off, as without warning, Shane Gates barrels forward and lays both women out with a double clothesline! Cutting in over the audio, the commentary team can be heard calling what’s happening over a live feed!)
James Peters: We’ve got some commotion going on backstage, as it appears that Shane Gates has just attacked Holly Arrow and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor! But why?!
Rich Russillo: Maybe it was the announcement of their addition to the elimination match at Road to Redemption that was the catalyst and enough reason to make a statement now, or maybe one of them said something! Regardless, neither woman is quick to move, no doubt taking in what just happened, but Gates gives them little time to come to the realization of what’s going on!
James Peters: SHANE LIFTS HOLLY UP OFF THE GROUND BY HER HAIR AND SHE HAS NO CHANCE OF FIGHTING BACK AFTER THE SURPRISE ATTACK!! SHANE SPINS HER AROUND TO GET SOME MOMENTUM BEFORE HE FLINGS HER INTO THE NEARBY PRODUCTION CRATE!!!!
(Holly hits the box with a loud thud before she drops to the ground, where she covers the back of her head as materials on top of it come falling down on top of her! However, that doesn’t stop Shane from continuing his attack and stomping down on her as she’s face down before he flings her across a nearby table!)
James Peters: This is getting out of hand! She’s only been here for like two weeks!
Persephone: Welcome to EAW, I guess :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Holly has been effectively laid out and she isn’t moving! She’s gonna need some help because- wait! He’s going after Kensingten after he spotted her trying to get away! Shane brings her off the ground and punches the hell out of her, and Kensingten tries to push away- SHANE GRABS HER HAIR AND SMASHES HER FACE OFF THE WALL!
James Peters: SHANE HASN’T LET GO OF THE HAIR AND HE KICKS HER IN THE GUT! THIS IS UNCALLED FOR! SHANE FLIPS OVER AND OFF THE GROUND- SHANE WITH A POWERBOMB TO KENSINGTEN ONTO HOLLY AND THEY GO THROUGH TABLE!!
(The cracking of a wooden table is undeniable, and Kensingten and Holly are buried under promotional material featuring various Voltage talent that had resided upon it. Picking up and tearing apart a poster, Shane leaves the pieces in his wake after getting in one last kick on Holly that sends her rolling out the wreckage, but just above her, sitting on the production crate is where Lizzie has appeared! Shane scoops up the doll and shoves past the cameraman, leaving Holly Arrow and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor to be tended to by backstage officials who’ve only just arrived far too late. With the damage done, the camera zooms in on the women being helped and assisted before the scene fades out.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside and cuts down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome… DRAKE THE REDEEMER!
(“Triumph” by Tenth Dimension hits and the virtual crowd begins to boo. Their reactions get even louder as the man himself, Drake King, strolls on stage with that trademark shit eating grin etched across his face. He is dressed in his Jesus robes and in his right hand is the Cash in the Vault briefcase that he took from Darcy May Morgan last week. Drake pauses at the top of the ramp, clasps the briefcase with both hands and raises it in the air like a trophy. The crowd does not like this at all.)
James Peters: Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems like Drake King has decided to join us. Needless to say, the situation between Drake and Darcy reached a whole new level last week. Drake confronted Darcy in the ring after she turned on him during the tag team Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match a couple of weeks ago, and the situation escalated from there. Darcy showed no remorse for her actions, and Drake struck her down to the mat.
Persephone: Which was absolutely hilarious.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know if I would use that word to describe Drake bitchslapping the shit out of Darcy, but she got him good when she put him down with ‘Don’t Diss Darcy.’
James Peters: Absolutely, but Darcy’s moment was short-lived. Darcy’s match with Ms. Extreme would get ruined by Serena Bennett and as Miss Cash in the Vault made her way up the ramp, Drake would attack. Darcy was laid out with ‘The Guillotine’ and Drake made off with the briefcase that’s in his hands right now. These two will be facing off against one another come Road to Redemption… now hold on…
Rich Russillo: :skip:
Persephone: Drake just pulled a metal trash can out from underneath the ring.
(Drake tosses the trash can into the ring before he gets in himself. He takes the microphone from Bella and the virtual crowd collectively groans, knowing that they’re probably about to hear another one of The Redeemer’s sermons.)
Persephone: Time to put my Airpods in and listen to Rex’s theme music on repeat until this is over.
Rich Russillo and James Peters: :wow:
(Drake clears his throat and holds up the Cash in the Vault briefcase.)
Drake King: This is a symbol of pure evil.
(The crowd boos because obviously they do not agree with that assessment of the Cash in the Vault briefcase. Since the very beginning of its history, that briefcase has represented a lot of hopes and dreams for the men and women who have been lucky enough to obtain it. They almost always go on to become a world champion, etching their names among the immortal in Elite Answers Wrestling. If anything, it has been a symbol of hope.)
Drake King: World championships are nothing more than materialistic symbols of lust and greed. So many Elitists believe they need the validation of a world championship and that’s so incredibly sad to me. They will eventually have to learn the harsh lessons that I did at the end of last season, and you know something? I’m better for it. I think this world is better for it as well, because since I’ve returned to EAW, I have made it my mission to cleanse this brand, and this company as a whole of the filth residing in it, and mold it into my vision. Some things have been allowed to slip through the cracks, and I have made a few mistakes along the way, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. I am a patient man, and I know that in order to completely reconstruct the world as we know it, I have to take my time. I have to allow myself room for error and be forgiving towards myself when things don’t go the way I want. That being said, I also have to be prepared to punish those who oppose me and show them absolutely no mercy, and unfortunately, that’s what it’s come down to as it pertains to the situation between Darcy May Morgan and myself.
(A solemn look crosses Drake’s face and he shakes his head.)
Drake King: I tried. I know I did. I did everything I could to help Darcy and push her towards her goals. Despite the fact her goals are centered around obtaining the very things I despise in this company, I wanted to make up for how badly I treated her last season. I was a thorn in Darcy’s side over on Dynasty, and try as she might, she was never able to defeat me or even get the better of me. I wanted to make things up to her, and I wanted to make it right, and even when I jumped the gun in War Games and cost our team the win, I did what any good Messiah would do, and that was apologize. It shouldn’t have surprised me to see Darcy travel down the same dark path that Malcolm has. Both of them are one in the same. They are both unforgiving, uncouth, greedy individuals who lack proper decorum and at Road to Redemption, I will have the chance to put one of them down for good.
(Drake looks into the camera so he can speak directly to Darcy.)
Drake King: Darcy, I tried. I don’t know what else I can even say right now. I went above and beyond to help you find the relevancy you so desperately crave because I truly did believe that you deserve it, and at the end of the day, it wasn’t good enough. I’ve had a week to try and let my anger subside, and even though it’s still festering inside of me, I have decided to allow you the chance to apologize for your act of treason. I would hate to destroy you at Road to Redemption and send you down into the burrows of Hell so you can burn with the rest of the traitors. Make no mistake about it, an apology isn’t going to get the match changed. You still have to suffer for your actions, but if you come out here and apologize, I will return this briefcase and seriously contemplate on whether or not I want to show you any type of leniency come Road to Redemption.
(“Spotlight Savior” by Iggy Azalea begins to play and the virtual crowd watching at home pops big time. They are glad to see Darcy as she walks onto the stage, and they cheer as she marches down to the ring with purpose. Drake immediately scoops the briefcase up and tucks it under his arm, and Darcy stops just short of attacking him. She grits her teeth and yells at Bella Braxton to hand her a microphone. A few moments later, Darcy begins to speak.)
Darcy May Morgan: You know good and goddamn well that I am not going to come out here and apologize to you. I HATE you. As soon you reared your ugly head on Voltage, things started going downhill for me. I don’t know what kind of witchcraft you decided to practice in your time off, but it ends at Road to Redemption. I am going to make you pay for everything you have cost me this season. I should be a War Games winner. I should have beaten Malcolm Jones at Wicked Games. I should be a Grand Prix finalist. I SHOULD HAVE MY BRIEFCASE IN MY HANDS RIGHT NOW! There’s a lot of things that should have happened, but instead of constantly moving forward, I have taken ten steps back multiple times over! I was perfectly fine, living my life, and minding my own business before you came along. I can not stress enough how stupid I feel for ever believing you. You are still the same selfish, egocentric prick that you’ve always been. I have no clue how someone could get exposed for being a fraud like you were back at Pain for Pride, literally having your whole life and your future put out there for the world to see… and somehow you still didn’t learn your lesson. If there is one thing I learned from Prop-
(Drake holds up his hand.)
Drake King: Darcy…
Darcy May Morgan: FROM THAT MATCH YOU HAD WITH HIM… if there is one we all learned from that is that this world is better off without Drake King! It doesn’t matter what form you take; be it some ugly little douchebag who can only say the word ‘okay’, or some psycho who is so obsessed with championships and success, or this phony Messiah personality you concocted… you are literally the worst person to ever walk the face of the Earth and you should have just stayed gone after Pain for Pride.
(A smile crosses Drake’s face and he rubs his chin. The look in his eyes is one of pure amusement, while Darcy is absolutely seething in anger. She’s been through so much since Pain for Pride, and has endured a lot of heartbreak in her season so far. It’s all caught up with her and it has all boiled over.)
Drake King: Does it make you feel better to get all that out, Darcy? Bottling your emotions up inside is not a healthy thing to do, so if it helps you in anyway at all to stand here and berate your Messiah, then so be it. I will allow it. I know that at Road to Redemption, after I strip you of your dignity and your sheer will to continue on in this sport, you will be left with nothing. The anger you have now will dissolve into sadness. Your sadness will lead to more insecurity. That insecurity and the knowledge that you failed to become the one thing you have always wanted to become, which is a world champion, will eat you alive until you drive yourself mad and you’re the one who ends up disappearing for good. It never had to be this way, Darcy. It really didn’t. My intentions towards you were pure. I wanted to help you and give you the world. I wanted to do the same for Malcolm. There’s a reason the two of you were chosen to take this journey with me. In due time, Malcolm will answer for his crimes against Drake The Redeemer, and at Road to Redemption, you will answer for yours.
(Darcy shakes her head.)
Darcy May Morgan: The only thing that’s going to happen at Road to Redemption is me beating you. Then I’m going to look ahead to 2021 and my eventual descent to the top of this company. I will be the Universal Women’s Champion, Drake, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do to stop that from happening. Since day one, I have busted my arse and cemented myself as the hardest working Elitist in this company. I have gone above and beyond to show the EAW Universe how much this sport means to me. I have opened myself up and let everyone in, showing them how strong I can be, and at times, how vulnerable I can be. There is nothing you can throw at me in our match that is going to catch me off guard or make me second guess myself. I am going to destroy you and get the big win I have been waiting for all season long.
Drake King: You’re that confident you can do what you’ve never done before?
Darcy May Morgan: Absolutely, and after the match is done, I’m going to go backstage, settle in, and hopefully watch TLA become the new EAW World Champion.
Drake King: //thumbs.gfycat.com/AntiqueOrneryArchaeocete-small.gif
(Drake isn’t sure he heard Darcy correctly.)
Drake King: What did you just say?
(A laugh escapes from Darcy’s lips, clearly delighted that she just triggered Drake.)
Darcy May Morgan: I said, I hope to watch TLA become the new EAW World Champion at Road to Redemption! It would be just as great as watching Vi-
Drake King: NO! NO! NO!
Darcy May Morgan: Awwwwww.
(Drake takes a deep breath. His face has flushed with anger and he locks his eyes on Darcy’s. The look he gives her is one she’s never really seen before and for a brief moment, a look of uncertainty crosses Darcy’s face. Did she go too far?)
Drake King: I…
(Drake has to pause. It’s almost like he can’t find the proper words to say what is really on his mind. The idea of TLA winning the EAW World Championship is almost too much for him to bear, and the mere thought of The Visual Prophet walking out of Road to Redemption having successfully retained just does not settle well with him. After a moment, something comes to Drake’s mind and he faces Darcy with an almost serene look on his face.)
Drake King: You know something? I think the confidence you have in your ability to get the job done against me finally is endearing. You bring that energy to Road to Redemption, Darcy! I want everything you can throw at me, and then some! I truly want you to show the world what you are capable of.
Darcy May Morgan: :skip: Why does this sound like some sort of trick?
Drake King: No trick, I promise. In fact, I think we should raise the stakes in this match. If you truly believe you have what it takes to get this win over me, then you should have no problem putting this on the line.
(Drake is all smiles as he holds up the Cash in the Vault briefcase. Darcy is clearly caught off guard by that, and her confidence seemingly wavers.)
Darcy May Morgan: Why would you want to fight for something you called a symbol of pure evil?
Drake King: Why not? This briefcase clearly gives you a sense of security, and without it what do you really have? If you truly believe, deep down in your heart, that you can better me come Road to Redemption then you will have no issues defending the briefcase against me.
(Drake’s challenge lingers in the air, and Darcy really isn’t sure how to reply. It’s obvious that the briefcase means everything to her. It is her symbol of hope and her own personal security blanket. Despite the season she’s had, she has always been able to fall back on the fact she has a world championship shot in her back pocket. Drake is threatening that and Darcy finds herself at a crossroads. Being the predator that he is, Drake picks up on this.)
Drake King: It’s obvious you are full of doubt, and how can you not be? You have fallen down the ranks. People are doubting you. No one is really sure you are capable of successfully cashing in this briefcase. I get that you don’t want to put something so precious to you on the line when you can’t really buy yourself a victory.
(Darcy bristles.)
Darcy May Morgan: It’s not that. You’re in the same boat I’m in when it comes to victories, or the lack thereof, and you haven’t really proven that you deserve a chance to win the briefcase. I have no problems defending it, but I’m not going to do it against someone who doesn’t deserve it. So no, Drake. Our match is not going to be for MY briefcase. So if you could just give that back to me, that would be great, and we can go our separate ways until Road to Redemption comes around.
(Drake does not like that answer.)
Drake King: I see. Well, it looks like there’s only one thing left to do.
(Drake holds up the briefcase and he lets it drop in the trash can. Darcy blinks.)
Darcy May Morgan: UM.
(Drake reaches into the folds of his Jesus robes and withdraws a book of matches.)
Darcy May Morgan: :whoa:
Drake King: How are you going to be a world champion when you are afraid of defending a simple briefcase?
Darcy May Morgan: I never said I was afraid to defend the briefcase! I said I wasn’t going to defend it against someone who didn’t deserve a shot at it!
Drake King: I don’t think you understand…
(Darcy ignores Drake and she reaches her hand in the trash can to try and retrieve the briefcase. Drake snatches her by the wrist and bends her arm back.)
Darcy May Morgan: OW! YOU’RE HURTING ME!
Drake King: DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE THAT I’M HURTING YOU?! I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON. YOU WILL DEFEND THIS BRIEFCASE AGAINST ME AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION OR ELSE!
(Darcy struggles with Drake and finally frees herself. She backs up a bit, rubbing her wrist, clearly hurt.)
Darcy May Morgan: (off-mic) Or else what, Drake?
(Drake lets his microphone drop and lights a match, and Darcy’s eyes widen in fear.)
Drake King: (off-mic) I WILL BURN THIS BRIEFCASE AND THE LAST SHRED OF HOPE YOU HAVE OF EVER AMOUNTING TO ANYTHING WILL GO UP IN FLAMES.
Darcy May Morgan: (off-mic) OKAY OKAY! YOU GOT YOUR MATCH! I’LL DEFEND THE BRIEFCASE!
(Darcy darts towards the trash can and Drake lets her snatch the briefcase out of it and she hugs it to her chest. A sinister smile crosses Drake’s face and he lets the match drop inside the trash can, causing it to erupt in flames.)
James Peters: DRAKE JUST TOOK DARCY OUT WITH THE GUILLOTINE!
Rich Russillo: BUT HE’S NOT DONE! HE HAS DARCY UP AND HE JUST SUPLEXED HER DOWN ON THE FLAMING TRASH CAN!
James Peters: SECURITY HAS COME RUSHING TO THE RING AND DRAKE BAILS! THE FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED AND DARCY IS IN AGONY! SHE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND, HAVING BEEN BURNED, AND DRAKE KING IS SICK! THAT MAN IS SICK!
Rich Russillo: I absolutely can not believe the turn of events that have taken place. Drake manipulated Darcy into putting the Cash in the Vault briefcase on the line and then suplexed her right to Hell!
James Peters: This match at Road to Redemption is becoming incredibly personal between these two. We know Darcy isn’t going to be happy and she has proven time and time again that she’s at her best when her back is against the wall.
Persephone: Is it over?
(Rich and James are both heard sighing.)
(Officials help Darcy sit up, and she is obviously in an excruciating amount pain. There is anger across her face and she is staring down the ramp. Drake is on the stage, grinning, clearly pleased with the damage he has done tonight. Drake taunts Darcy as Voltage fades into a commercial.)

(Commercial for Andre Walker’s Profiesional Enpgilsh Clahdgeds. It’s probably supposed to say Professional English Classes but that’s what Andre wrote. )
(Voltage cuts back to ringside as Bella Braxton is seen standing in the middle of the ring with a mic and a smile on her face as she holds the mic up and begins to speak)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER PREVIEW MATCH!!! And it’s a contest scheduled for…
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays up to cheers as a lowrider comes in and TLA is in the passenger seat as he looks around with an intense expression on his face while bobbing his head to Ambitionz az a Ridah’. He definitely looks ready for a war. He poses as he stands on of the seat. Before long as the lowrider parks he jumps onto the hood as he poses again before jumping onto the stage and making his way down the ramp with a still wearing the same intense expression on his face as he does so)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… He resides in The Poon Palace in Miami, Florida… He weighs in at TWO HUNDRED TEN POUNDS… LA PANTERA SEXUAL… T!!!!!… L!!!!!… A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: If you look at that man’s face, definitely you’ll notice it’s quite the contrast that we saw from last week when he was going against his partner and friend in Terry Chambers. You get the feeling that what happened last week has carried over into this one, Rich.
Rich Russillo: Well, to be honest, if I was dropped on my head like TLA was last week when that monster Azrael that we’re about to see come out next did when he planted La Pantera Sexual TLA with the Burial, I’d be a little pissed and want some payback too. He looks like he’s ready to go!
Persephone: Eh, definitely have no favorites here. Blah.
(Soon ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ fade and the arena goes dark, red lights and smoke form at the beginning of the entranceway as ‘Girei’ by Yasuharo Takanashi begins to play, Mr. Jacobs walks out with Azrael behind him, he has a collar and chain to hold back the monster until they get to the apron. Mr. Jacobs leads him into the ring and holds Azrael back as he looks around at the Virtual Crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing his oopponent….He hails from The Warehouse!….He weighs in at TWO HUNDRED NINETY POUNDS!…Accompanied to the ring by his manager, Mr. Jacobs…He is AZRAEL!!!!!
Persephone: Ewww…yuck. This guy creeps me out. Assuming all the shit about this dude is true, there is no way in hell I would ever come within the amount of yards I am now of this festering serpent. His odor is awful! Ugh!
James Peters: He’s not exactly a sight to see, I’ll give you that Seph. But as he’s being led out by a chain being apparently restrained by his brother Mr. Jacobs, given the damage he’s already done since earning his way into the Extreme Elimination Chamber match. How much more damage can this monster do, Rich?
Rich Russillo: Given what we’ve seen? Well, plenty. I mean, you saw what he did the night he advanced by earning the right to be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, he used his trusty chain and he completely destroyed the face of the EAW Champion SOSA Henderson with it leaving him in a pool of his own blood just two weeks ago. Then after an intense battle against SOSA Henderson, SOSA had no choice but to defend himself after it was clear that Azrael was not happy following the preview match from last week trying to put the monster down with a chair, which escalated once the Corona Hombres came out. None of it kept Azrael down in the end, but he was able to put TLA down. So considering all this, inside the dangerous chamber structure…this monster is going to be a handful and that’s putting it lightly.
(‘Girei’ dies as the lighting in the World 1 Theatre comes back completely, with both Voltage chamber participants staring a hole into one another from their neutral corners ready to pounce, especially TLA. He’s waited a whole week for this one to happen. Both have to be thinking about the match down the road too which has the chance to be far more foretelling than we all might think. Mr. Jacobs is shown using a key to unlock the chain from the neck of Azrael, and just like that he is loose with referee signaling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The bell has rang, and you have to suspect, with it being a week out from the second biggest show on our calendar in 2020, that these two will give us nothing short of a preview of what can expect to see in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Azrael is just standing completely still as he stares a hole into TLA who has his game face on. He backs down from nobody, and he proved that last week when he went against his Corona Hombre partner, Terry Chambers. TLA is calling Azrael in, or taunting him…not sure which.
Rich Russillo: Well, now they’re both going at each other, or rather TLA is already pounding away at Azrael, who’s standing there absorbing these earlier shots to the head by TLA. Sharp elbow to the head now of TLA by Azrael and down goes TLA! TLA down to a knee and now Azrael sends a hard vicious shot to the side of TLA’s head and he finally goes down! Azrael now sends a headbutt that rocks TLA after he’d stood back up! TLA is staggering back but he’s not going away that easily! TLA off the ropes ducking the clothesline attempt by Azrael and bounces off the ropes on the other side and now fires back with fast striking combos of kicks and punches to this monster, but all he barely flinches each time!
Persephone: This match might be exciting enough if they’d both start fighting outside for more than ten seconds where it may be over with! That would make me so happy!
James Peters: Azrael catches TLA in the head again and staggers La Pantera! But TLA comes back with a hurricanrana! NO! IT’S BLOCKED BY AZRAEL AND TURNED RIGHT INTO A POWERBOMB BY AZRAEL! AZRAEL DROPS DOWN AND MAKES THE COVER!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!
Rich Russillo: TLA kicks out! Azrael wastes no time in going back to work standing back to a vertical base he grabs TLA who’s still on his knees! And now devastating knee strikes by this monster Azrael being sent to the face of TLA! TLA goes back down! TLA tries to recover but Azrael is already grabbing him up again by his hair! Biel Toss by Azrael to TLA and he goes tumbling across the ring! TLA is trying to recover in the corner but Azrael is not relenting!
James Peters: Imagine how he’s going to be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber where there is for certain no escape. Now Azrael strikes the head of TLA again, but TLA avoids the contact and forces his way out of the corner. Fast striking combos once again by TLA but this time it’s Azrael on the receiving end trapped in that corner! TLA grabs the monster Azrael by his hair and tries to smash his face into the corner turnbuckle but Azrael blocks the attempt! TLA tries again but Azrael is not budging!
Persephone: This guy is fat, slow, and ugly. He just kind of needs to plop that big butt of his out of the ring, take that illegal immigrant out with him and just beat the stuffing out of each other. Seems like a simple concept to me.
Rich Russillo: Now Azrael with nothing but brute strength and forces TLA back to the corner where he begins throwing hard shots to the stomach of TLA, and then proceeds to choke him in the corner and the referee gets in there to make the mandatory count. He gets to five and threatens to stop the match but Azrael finally lets up! Azrael finally breaks the hold, but only after Mr. Jacobs instructed him to, he was not going to listen to the referee.
James Peters: That’s a scary thought, knowing our referees are the best money can buy. You get the feeling he only just let go because he’s not finished inflicting pain upon TLA, he wants to bring more pain! Azrael grabs TLA out of the corner and whips him with force to the opposite corner and Azrael coming right for TLA but TLA is quick on his feet! TLA just hopped up to the top turnbuckle. Moonsault off the top connects onto Azrael! Cover!
Ref: ONE!!!…
Rich Russillo: TLA falls back as Azrael practically presses with force to kick out at the count of one! TLA is still the quicker man back to his feet and he sends a combo of kicks at this beast, Azrael, who sits there taking each one! What will it take to put this monster down! Azrael is back on his feet and here comes TLA right at him again! Zig Zag! NO! Azrael hangs on to the ropes and TLA lands on his feet! And a sharp hard elbow right directly into the eye of TLA and TLA goes down!
James Peters: This Azrael is very unorthodox and unpredictable, never quite knowing what is coming next! Now Azrael is laying the boots to TLA who tries to quickly scramble back to his feet! TLA backs up and bounces off the ropes but Azrael is in a perfect position to cut off his path! Azrael with a big boot right to the head of TLA and down goes La Pantera! Now Azrael drops down to his knees and goes for another cover in this match!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!
Persephone: This guy is so detestable! How does he even get to work here? He wears a mask to conceal his even uglier identity and leaves others to manage his life because he’s too pathetic to manage it himself. Ugh!
Rich Russillo: TLA showing his resiliency by kicking out once again, but it’s pretty apparent this Azrael is going to be no joke once it comes to the Extreme Elimination Chamber! He’s showing just how destructive he is capable of being, and this is without the benefit of weapons.
James Peters: Now Azrael is grinding his forearm across the face of TLA, but TLA grabs at the head of Azrael and begins pummeling away at his skull! OH, A VICIOUS HEADBUTT BY AZRAEL AND DOWN GOES TLA! Now Azrael throws TLA back to the corner where he was earlier and this time Azrael has a boot to the throat of TLA, which once again forces the referee to get in there and make the count. He gets to four before Azrael once again asserts his dominance by sending TLA to the ropes! TLA…LOOK AT THAT OUTSTANDING AGILITY…TLA HOPS TO THE TOP ROPE AND IN ONE MOTION DELIVERS A MODIFIED ZIG ZAG OFF THE TOP AND THIS TIME HE TAKES THE BIG GUY DOWN! THE COVER BY TLA!! MR. JACOBS IS SHOUTING FOR AZRAEL TO KICKOUT! SHOUTING HIS NAME!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!
Rich Russillo: And he gets the big guy down for a two count this time, but again Azrael shows his strength in shoving TLA off of him, but TLA continues to come right back as he pounds away at him with precise kicks and punching combos but it’s really not having the kind of effect that you would expect. They’re not really fazing him at all! Mr. Jacobs has a wicked grin on his face about it all.
James Peters: Azrael is now back to his feet and as TLA sends a kick at him Azrael blocks the attempt and looks for a chokeslam but TLA escapes! TLA with a dropkick and it sends Azrael over the top rope but he hangs on and lands on his feet! Azrael starts climbing back up but TLA with a baseball slide that sends him back a few paces! What’s TLA gonna do here!
Rich Russillo: IS HE CRAZY??!!
James Peters: TLA RUNS UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND LEAPS OFF!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS ON AZRAEL! HE CALLS IT THE 420! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN! THIS IS WHY TLA IS A HALL OF FAMER! THE ABILITY TO KEEP ON COMING AT AN OPPONENT WITH NO RELENT! NO MERCY!
Rich Russillo: He sacrificed his own body to keep the advantage and momentum in his favor!
Mr. Jacobs: (off mic) GET UP AZRAEL! PUNISH HIM!
Persephone: This guy is definitely lunatic the way he throws himself around, but I still can’t understand why he’s actually popular for that.
James Peters: Mr. Jacobs once again, perhaps seeing his brother in trouble, shouts instructions to him once more, telling him to get up and punish his opponent. Both men are trying to recover on the outside. The referee has started his count, he’s at three so far. It’s Azrael that’s gotten back to his feet first. Azrael grabs up TLA and whips him with such velocity right into the barricade and TLA tumbles to the ground after slamming into the barricade. Azrael smartly rolls into the ring. He doesn’t want TLA to regain the momentum. The referee is now at the count of six but TLA is slower to recover this time. TLA is at the apron now, using the ropes as leverage to pull himself up and Azrael is there to meet him. And did you see what Azrael just did??!!
Rich Russillo: I sure did. He just used all his strength to chokeslam TLA into the ring! Azrael is going for another cover! This could do it!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…
James Peters: The virtual crowd cheers TLA kicking out, and Azrael begins putting the choke on TLA forcing him into the mat and the referee is counting, reaching five this time but Azrael having to be restrained by the referee! Azrael immediately gets up and begins snarling at the referee as he intimidates him!
Rich Russillo: But he turned his back on TLA! TLA turns Azrael around, Very Mexican Uppercut by TLA! Followed by another from TLA! The second one staggers the monster back! More fast striking combos finally knocks Azrael down to his knees where he’s draped on the second rope! TLA now bounces off the ropes and is coming back! THE 305! THE TIGER FEINT KICK CONNECTS ON AZRAEL! AZRAEL BACK UP BUT TLA IS RIGHT THERE AND SCOOPS HIM UP AND SLAMS AZRAEL DOWN! TLA IS OUTSIDE ON THE APRON NOW! SPRINGBOARD SPLASH OFF THE TOP ROPE! THE HOOK OF THE LEG AND COVER BY TLA!!
Mr. Jacobs: (off mic) NOOOOOOO!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! KICKOUT BLOODY HELL!!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!
Persephone: Are you seriously kidding me right now! Come on! How can you both get so excited over this matchup? Neither one of these two have done anything special, which was why I wished they would’ve both just fought outside all the way to the back when they were outside the ring, right into the next match. Is that really asking a lot??!! Good grief!
James Peters: Azrael able to power out of the pinning predicament, and Mr. Jacobs is relieved. TLA’s gotta be wondering where he can find the advantage and keep it against his bigger adversary. TLA begins punching away one closed fist after another, consistently tagging his opponent with each blow to the head but…laughing. Laughing can be heard coming from inside that mask of Azrael and all TLA can do is back up and look on as are all the rest of us.
Rich Russillo: Azrael is back up now and here comes TLA again! TLA going for a high knee that misses its mark, Azrael sidestepped it this time and TLA bounces off the ropes! This time he connects with Cartel Kick! Azrael falls into the ropes but immediately recovers and goes for a kick to the midsection of TLA! He pulls TLA in now and delivers a double arm DDT that drills the head of TLA right into the canvas! The cover by Azrael this time!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…TH
James Peters: TLA just barely shoots his shoulder off the canvas and this one is still alive! Anyone’s match at this point! TLA is up but he’s stumbling, trying to regather himself but Azrael is not going away! He’s got TLA up in the air now! This monster has taken a great deal of offense from EAW’s greatest luchador in La Pantera, the Hall of Famer, TLA! He’s got him up…and drops him to the canvas where he hits the canvas hard! And now you can hear the maniacal laughter coming from Azrael! He’s loving this and feels perfectly at home causing punishment to others. First it was the EAW Champion himself that felt the wrath of this monster, and now TLA these last couple of weeks.
Rich Russillo: Azrael grabs up TLA by his hair and then throws a blow to the head of TLA that sends him falling back down to the canvas in a heap! Man, it’s like TLA…all the offense is barely even a factor because this guy is so big and apparently has such a high pain threshold that it’s going to be hard to fathom how he’s going to be put down inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Persephone: Please keep him away from me. He just looks so grotesquely disgusting, and I’m sure he’s unhygenic too. It’s gotta be painful enough for him just to simply exist. The idea that he hasn’t ended his own life yet makes his future look that much more bleak.
James Peters: Azrael grabs up TLA again and this time tosses him through the ropes to the floor, and now slides on out to meet him. TLA is grabbed up by his hair again but this time he strikes first! TLA sees where he’s at now and knows what this huge man may have in mind and he’s fighting with everything he’s got to grab the advantage back in this contest! Azrael runs right at TLA but La Pantera with a drop toe hold, sending Azrael face first into the steel steps! The referee is making the count right now, he’s at a count of four. Both men are not making it easy to call the match this way.
Rich Russillo: TLA rolls into the ring to break the count before rolling right back outside where Azrael is trying to recover but it’s too late, TLA finally smells blood in the waters and now he’s ready to attack! TLA grabs the hair of the weakened Azrael and smashes his face into steel steps and now sends him crashing into the ringpost shoulder first!
James Peters: OH MY! TIGER SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR BY TLA TO AZRAEL! AZRAEL’S HEAD JUST SMACKED THE UNFORGIVING FLOOR DOWN LOW! And TLA is certainly hyped up again and the virtual crowd is definitely supporting him right now! TLA rolls back into the ring again and this time Azrael sits up from the ground and now grabs the apron and slides back into the ring, but he’s definitely slowed now. Not as quick this time around to return to that tall vertical base of his. TLA may have things right where he needs them to be to finish the deal here!
Rich Russillo: Now it’s Azrael that’s stumbling on his feet and TLA with the Cartel Kick that sends Azrael into the ropes and TLA is right there for the hurricanrana that’s successful this time around and TLA runs to the corner turnbuckle as Azrael makes his way back to his feet! BURNOU-SPINEBUSTER! AZRAEL SOMEHOW JUST TURNED THE CORKSCREW 360 SENTON INTO A SPINEBUSTER AND HE COULD HAVE THE PIN HERE AND THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER YET!!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…THREE
Persephone: Oh my gosh, are you kidding me right now??!! That was totally three! This match should be over! Wow. This referee is the worst ever! Ugh!!!!
James Peters: TLA JUST KICKED OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT AFTER BEING DROPPED FROM THAT DEVASTATING SPINEBUSTER FROM AZRAEL!! TLA WAS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS AND AZRAEL SOMEHOW GATHERED ENOUGH STRENGTH TO KICKOUT AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES…BUT FOR HOW MUCH LONGER!
Rich Russillo: THIS AZRAEL IS GOING NUTS, TEARING HIS HAIR OUT…MR. JACOBS IS SHOUTING AT AZRAEL TO FINISH THE JOB! BUT TLA…HE’S BACK UP! HE CHARGES RIGHT FOR AZRAEL! LAST BREATH! THE MANDIBLE CLAW…AZRAEL HAS TLA IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW AND TLA IS FLAILING AROUND EVERYWHERE! HE’S STRUGGLING TO STAY CONSCIOUS AND IS FADING QUICK!
James Peters: HE’S GOTTA FIND THIS A BIT INSULTING, IF YOU ASKED ME SEEING HOW HE HAS THIS EXACT MOVE IN HIS OWN ARSENAL! AND THERE IT IS! TLA JUST SLAPPED THE MONSTER AZRAEL WITH A MANDIBLE CLAW OF HIS OWN! BUT AZRAEL…HE’S LAUGHING! MR. JACOBS LOOKING ON WITH NOTHING BUT THE MOST PLEASANT BUT WICKED TYPE OF SMILE YOU WILL EVER SEE! THE CLAW IS HAVING NO EFFECT ON AZRAEL! TLA’S LEGS APPEAR TO BE GIVING OUT HERE! IT CAN’T BE LONG NOW! ALL MATCH LONG WE’VE SEEN JUST HOW DOMINANT AND DESTRUCTIVE THIS MONSTEROUS AZRAEL CAN BE AND NOW HE MAY BE JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM PICKING UP THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS WHOLE CAREER IF HE CAN DEFEAT THE HALL OF FAMER AND FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, TLA!
Mr. Jacobs (off mic): FINISH HIM!!!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT’S THIS….
James Peters: IT LOOKS LIKE ONE LAST DITCH EFFORT…A SMALL PACKAGE BY TLA PULLING AZRAEL DOWN WITH HIM TO THE CANVAS! AZRAEL’S SHOULDERS ARE TOUCHING THE CANVAS AND HE’S NOT RELEASING THE LAST BREATH!
Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ plays up as TLA rolls away from Azrael and staggers back up to his feet falling into one of the corner turnbuckles nearest to the commentary desk with an intense look on his face. The referee holds his hand up to indicate victory. TLA pumps his fist as he falls to a knee. Mr. Jacobs can only look on in complete shock as his deranged brother Azrael sits on the canvas breathing heavy, but it’s obvious it’s not because he’s tired. He’s angry, furious, rage-filled on the inside. TLA is still down on his knees, clearly exhausted as he looks around at the virtual crowd as they cheer for him.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner… T!!!!… L!!!!… A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THANK…FUCKING…GOD.
James Peters: TLA SOMEHOW SOMEWAY MUSTERED UP JUST ENOUGH TO DEFEAT THIS MONSTER, AZRAEL! HOW’D HE DO IT, RICH?
Rich Russillo: I DON’T REALLY KNOW. ONE MOMENT, AT DIFFERENT POINTS OF THIS MATCH EVEN…AZRAEL WAS MANHANDLING TLA AND YOU DON’T SEE THAT DONE EVER!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ fades. Azrael now gets to his feet and TLA notices right away, and Azrael makes no bones about it. He wants to tear TLA apart as he charges right for the famous luchador, but TLA books it from the ring.)
James Peters: AZRAEL JUST GOT UP AND HAD EVERY INTENTION ON CONTINUING TO TEAR INTO TLA BUT TLA JUST DUCKED THROUGH THE ROPES AND IS ALREADY HURRYING UP THE RAMP LOOKING BACK AS HE DOES! AZRAEL’S ABSOLUTELY LOST IT! HE BEGINS SHAKING THE ROPES WITH NOTHING BUT RAGE! THE REFEREE TRIES TO ESCAPE!…BUT AZRAEL…HE’S GOT THE REFEREE! THE LAST BREATH ON THE REFEREE! HE CAN’T DO THAT!
Mr. Jacobs: (off mic) AZRAEL!…STOP!!!
Rich Russillo: WELL HE’S SURE DOING IT AND HE DOESN’T CARE IF THE MAN SUES EITHER! HE WON’T STOP!! THE REFEREE…HE’S OUT AND AZRAEL HE’S LAUGHING AGAIN!
James Peters: NOW HERE COMES A WHOLE SWARM OF SECURITY RUSHING OUT TO AID THE REFEREE! I HOPE IT’S ENOUGH! THEY ALL SURROUND A THIRD OF OUR RINGSIDE AREA! THERE’S HALF A DOZEN IN THE RING! AZRAEL…HE JUST SENT A BIG BOOT TO ONE OF OUR SECURITY MEN AND HE GOES DOWN! AZRAEL TOSSES ANOTHER OVER THE TOP ROPE! NOW TWO OF THEM COME FOR AZRAEL BUT HE GRABS THEM BOTH! DOUBLE DDT ON TWO SECURITY MEN! THIS IS CRAZY! MORE SLIDE IN THE RING NOW TO GET A HOLD ON THIS MONSTER! AZRAEL GRABS ONE OF THEM AND GORILLA PRESSES HIM AND THEN TOSSES HIM AT A GROUP OF SECURITY! NOW AZRAEL IS SNARLING AS HE’S POUNDING AWAY AT THE GROUP OF SECURITY THAT ARE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR A SITUATION LIKE THIS!
Rich Russillo: THIS GUY’S A MANIAC! HE’S INSANE! OUR FIELD OF SECURITY THAT WERE ON STANDBY ARE BEING ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED AND DECIMATED BY THIS DESTRUCTIVE MONSTER! ANOTHER SECURITY GUARD JUST CRACKED AZRAEL UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH HIS NIGHTSTICK BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT! AZRAEL’S NOW GOT THE LAST BREATH ON THE SECURITY GUARD! WHO’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP HIM! WAIT…AZRAEL JUST FELL TO HIS KNEES! AND LOOK…IT’S THAT HORRIBLE, DESPICABLE, AND DIABOLICAL MR. JACOBS! HE’S JUST SHOT HIS OWN BROTHER WITH A TRANQUILIZER GUN! AZRAEL RELEASES THE SECURITY GUARD WHO JUST FELL IN A HEAP! ALZRAEL TURNS FOR A MOMENT TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF HIS BROTHER MR. JACOBS…MERCIFULLY THAT ENDS ALL THE CARNAGE CAUSED BY THE DESTRUCTIVE AZRAEL! HE COULDN’T BE STOPPED ANY OTHER WAY! DID YOU SEE THAT?? HE JUST MANHANDLED A REFEREE AND TOOK OUT A WHOLE FIELD OF SECURITY OFFICERS!!
James Peters: Rich, I saw it with my own eyes and I still can hardly believe it. What the hell is this monster going to do next??!!
(One last shot shows the anarchy and carnage that Azrael left in his wake, and then Mr. Jacobs crouched to a knee looking over his deranged brother. Then a close up of the situation while several security officers are all seen checking on one another’s well being and safety as the show fades and goes to a commercial.)

[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER THIS WEEK – BROOKLYN, NEW YORK ]
( Chris Elite, Big Mike, and the rest of the BVU are seen strolling down the sidewalk of one of Brooklyn’s most dangerous burroughs, Brownsville. They’re masked up and seemingly in good spirits, and a lot of that has to do with the fact Chris Elite finds himself in the Grand Prix Finals come Road to Redemption. Alongside his tag team partner, Malcolm Jones, The Blicky Boyz took out the reigning Grand Prix Champions, The Jaded Hearts, and now find themselves with a chance to face off against two men they a lot of history with, Mr. DEDEDE and Impact. With the Coronavirus pandemic continuing to wreak havoc across the country, some areas of Brooklyn were hit particularly hard. Unfortunately, Brownsville is one of those areas. The poverty stricken area is one of the few Brooklyn neighborhoods that haven’t seen any signs of gentrification. Public housing is how most residents have been able to put a roof over their heads, but with sickness and crime at all time levels, people find themselves scared. Small businesses have shut down and a lot of people have not been able to make ends meet for quite some time. Bodegas are closing left and right, leaving people who are afraid to go to the bigger grocery stores with few options. )
( Chris Elite enjoys frequenting bodegas, especially the local ones in his hometown of Brooklyn. Despite his unparalleled success, Chris has never forgotten his roots and always makes sure to support the locals, and they love him for that. Today, Chris and the rest of the BVU are hosting a food drive in Brownsville, and handing out Thanksgiving groceries to families in the area who otherwise wouldn’t have anything to put on their table for the holiday. It’s obvious that this is important to the brash, arrogant Elitists because as they pull up to the makeshift food bank, Chris is unusually subdued. )
Big Mike: Yo, let’s get to work. Whatcha want us doing, Chris?
Chris Elite: Shite, whatever. Just hop in and start helping set up the tables. I think they set it for noon, but yo, look at those people already lined up.
Assidy Hart: Big Mikayla and I can start by making sure they’re socially distanced and have masks.
Big Mikayla: I’ll go unpack the masks.
( Assidy and Mikayla head off towards a small medical tent that has been set up to get masks for the crowd. Chris Elite has used his own money to help fund rapid COVID testing for the people who come out to today’s food drive. If nothing else, it just helps give the residents peace of mind that they do not have the virus if they decide to host family gatherings. Administering the tests are some members of the EAW medical team who have come along to help Chris, fully supportive of him giving back to his community. )
Ty: Iiight, Ima go jump in and help unload the turkeys and the hams.
Chris Elite: Coo, coo.
( Chris looks around, and despite the mask that covers his face, there is pride in his eyes. Very few people get to see the compassionate side of Chris Elite. This is a rare glimpse, so to speak. The fact of the matter is, for all his arrogance and all his trash talk, he’s still a human being who’s been affected by what’s going on in the world as much as anyone. Big Mike claps his long time friend on the shoulder and follows Ty. )
???: Looks like it’s going to be a good turnout.
( Chris turns around and sees Malcolm Jones and his girlfriend, Keisha Brown, standing behind him. They have come to help, because obviously this is something they both believe in as well. In fact, they hosted a similar event in Harlem the week prior, and Chris, as well as the rest of the BVU, came out to help during that. )
Chris Elite: Any opportunity to help out a lil, ya know? I don’t take any of this shit for granted. Fuck, if I had taken a different path it mighta been me standing in that line waiting. It’s the least I can do.
Malcolm Jones: I feel you. But you know what? It worked out and now you are in a position to be a leader in your community and do some good. That’s a huge responsibility and something you really can’t take lightly. It’s good to see you embrace it.
Keisha Brown: 2020 has been a trying year, there’s no doubt, but seeing everyone come together to fight for justice, fight for change, and truly make a difference really does give me hope.
Malcolm Jones: All the bullshit it’s taken to even reach this point will never really make sense to me.
Chris Elite: All we can do is continue to fight.
( The Blicky Boyz and Keisha head over to the tables and they get to work as well. Malcolm and Chris work together to unload boxes of canned goods, cases of water, and other items you might need to put together various Thanksgiving dishes. Despite the horrific circumstances that led to Thanksgiving even becoming a thing, both Blicky Boyz believe in the importance of family and being together with loved ones. They know the Brownsville community needs this just to uplift them. Keisha might have understated it a bit when she said that 2020 had been a trying year. Yes, a pandemic had swept the world, but racial inequality stood at the forefront of the problems in America. )
( Once everything was set up, and all the volunteers had arrived, the private security that was hired to keep the event under control started letting people in to get a basket of food and a case of water. They let them in 10 at a time, and people were grateful not only to get food for their families, but they were ecstatic to meet the Blicky Boyz as well. Chris and Malcolm posed for pictures, signed autographs, and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves as they worked together to give back to Brownsville. As things were wrapping up, a father with two young sons approached the end of the line where Chris and Malcolm were. Malcolm was finishing up a conversation with another young fan, but Chris turned his attention towards the father and the two young sons. He flashed them a grin. )
Chris Elite: Hey! How’s it going?
Young Fan 1: You’re the finger guy, right?
Young Fan 2: Dude, shut up. I told you not to bring that up if we got to meet him.
Young Fan 1: What? Mr. DEDEDE always brings that up whenever he cuts a promo on Chris Elite, and I wanted to ask him about it. Chill out.
Chris Elite: :skip:
( Their father has the decency to look embarrassed and he clears his throat. )
Father: Yo, sorry about all that. They’re just big fans.
Chris Elite: Apparently…
Young Fan 2: I can’t wait to see you and Malc whoop that fat cac Impact and Mr. DEDEDE!
Young Fan 1: Yeah! You guys are gonna beat the Liquid Swordz and win the whole Grand Prix, right!?
Chris Elite: ‘Course we are. We been saying this, we didn’t come this far just to lose to those two bozos. This is too important to us to lose when it matters most. We promised to make it to the end of the Grand Prix, and we can actually keep that promise. We didn’t come this far to play second fiddle or be nobody’s stepping stone, especially not for the Liquid Cacs of all teams.
Malcolm Jones: Damn right.
( Malcolm heard the conversation between Chris Elite and the family, and made his way over to the four. )
Chris Elite: This Grand Prix was ours the moment we stepped foot in it, and if you ask me we actually deserve to be here. The Liquid Swordz are only in the Grand Prix for stat padding purposes and if we weren’t in the tournament, they probably would’ve gotten away with it. Good thing the two of us are here, huh?
Malcolm Jones: Shit, that’s just how life is ain’t it? They get whatever the fuck they want no matter how undeserving they are. Sounds a whole lot like White privilege to me. They lived their whole lives being given whatever they wanted, meanwhile people that look like us gotta work for even a fraction of what they have.
( Malcolm kneels down and looks at the two young kids while their father simply stays quiet, listening closely to everything being said. )
Malcolm Jones: This is the shit y’all gotta know too. People like Impact and Mr. DEDEDE are the embodiment of white privilege, the same shit holding people like us back all across the country. The Liquid Swordz? They got everything. They can flaunt their wealth, they can defy authority, they can flaunt their trophy wives like they’re prizes and they HAVE done all of this countless times. Let someone like Chris do some shit like that. Let someone like me do any of it. We’d be vilified at best, or killed at worst. All that just ‘cause of the color of our skin, and that’s just part of the racial inequality in America. We can’t get away with even half of the shit people like them get away with on damn near a daily basis. ‘Cause of shit like this people like us aren’t safe nowhere but our homes. Impact and Mr. DEDEDE don’t know how that shit feels. They don’t know how it feels to be like y’all three, or like me and Chris, all because they got a lighter skin color than us.
Chris Elite: Deadass. It’s sad they even made it this far but we not going out how all those other teams did. We’re winning that damn Grand Prix. There’s a whole lot of people that look like us that need people to lead them at a time like this. They need people they know they could put their faith in without being let down. Y’all deserve better than this. Last thing y’all need is a pair of Champions that represent all the shit that makes our own lives harder. Y’all don’t even gotta worry about us. We delivered with everything we said this Grand Prix and this is gonna be no different.
( Chris’ final words make the two kids smile, before one of them begins to speak up. )
Young Fan 2: I’m glad there’s people that look like us out there at the top of their game. You two are awesome!
Young Fan 1: Yeah, we really want you guys to win!
( Their words put a smile on Chris and Malcolm’s faces. People like Chris Elite and Malcolm Jones don’t spend much time talking to kids or even fans for the most part, but now they got the chance to meet two little kids that not only look like them and can relate to them, but are rooting for them. )
Chris Elite: And we won’t let y’all down.
( Before the family leaves, the father looks back up at Chris and Malcolm. )
Father: Thank you guys for doing this. Words can’t even describe how much this all means to us.
Chris Elite: ‘Least we could do. Have a nice day y’all.
( The two kids smile back and wave to the Blicky Boyz while walking off, and their father does the same with a proud look on his face seeing how well received their words to the kids were. )
Malcolm Jones: You’re right though, we’re not letting anybody down here. We entered the Grand Prix to win, and in the process we’re gonna make a whole lotta people happy.
Chris Elite: These people need someone to look up to. If we don’t do it it’s not like somebody else will.
( Keisha walks over to Malcolm Jones, putting her arms around him with a smile on her face. )
Keisha: Sometimes, it’s about more than titles.
Chris Elite: Shit, this sure is at least. Especially after seeing the look on their faces, it’s about so much more than titles.
Malcolm Jones: Agreed. There really is a lot on the line, and it goes way beyond those Championships. We’re gonna beat their asses.
( Chris and Keisha both agree, and as the Blicky Boyz continue finishing things up along with Keisha and the BVU, the camera begins to fade out. )
(Voltage would transition from there to the parking lot of the World 1 Theatre earlier in the night before the show begun as none other than Ms. Extreme is seen leaning against her 2020 Lamborghini Huracan EVO that she sported when she came to Dynasty a few weeks back as she’s seen looking on her phone as the faint sounds of Dynasty’s “Total Bennetts” segment from two days ago on the recent episode is heard as she proceeds to shove her phone back in her pocket before looking up with a confused look which turns into a chuckle before she begins to speak in a cool, calm mannerism)
Ms. Extreme: :mjlol: Very funny Serena. Ladies and gentlemen, clap it up for your Universal Women’s Champion!
(Ms. Extreme claps sarcastically for a moment before shaking her head with a smirk on her face as she leans back against the car a bit more)
Ms. Extreme: I would do something fancy, extravagant, maybe something with my sisters, but they were busy. And Terry still hasn’t unblocked me :noah: curse you Candice. But you know? I think I’m contempt without the fancy scenery and just speaking in front of a camera, no filter or enhancement needed, sorry not sorry. I don’t mean to be a nuisance but I couldn’t help myself when I heard Serena try and say her piece about this match that we’ve got coming up very soon, 2 weeks by the way. I’m glad I’m angering you, I’m glad I’m digging into your skin and reaching through, so much so you had to remove your wig to speak to me, crazy. It’s funny how you have to presume I have what it takes, when I’ve been put into situations constantly that have presumably “placed my back against the wall”, when things went tough, I’ve always managed to thrive. Because my goal? My goal is to make sure that you remember the biggest mistake that you’ve made in your life.
(Ms. Extreme would look away from the camera before shrugging her shoulders as she looked back to it and continued to speak with confidence in her tone as she did so, clearly favoring her odds heading into Road To Redemption as always)
Ms. Extreme: And what might that be, you may ask? Making the mistake to even come up to me in the first place and try and run your mouth about. Yeah you were generous, giving yourself a challenge over the average Joe coming and going to try and challenge for your title, you would’ve slipped yourself into a easy title defense at Road To Redemption if you didn’t do what you did at Voltage, but here we are huh? I could bargain very well that if it wasn’t for this I’d probably have a nice little Extreme Elimination Chamber entry for the EAW Championship, a title that I have some unfinished business with by the way. But hey! I’ll take this over that anyday because it gives me the opportunity to slap you upside the head, it’s what you deserve anyways. So go on, continue talking about my family, the same point you used against Candice, and if you had the chance you’d throw that out to my whole family tree, you continue being you and trying to tarnish the Ava name because it’s not your ideal perspective on life, I’m sorry we’re just that damn talented. Just know the one true thing you despise in this business is going to come around and take what you cherish most.
(Ms. Extreme would cross her arms together as she continued to look dead at the camera with determination in her eyes yet a confident aura that surrounded her as she continued to speak)
Ms. Extreme: You can talk about raising a bar that I had no concern over to begin with, because there’s no need to be chasing after it to begin with, I’m just contempt. I don’t need to try to fight to be on the same level as you, because I’m raising my own bar and it’s higher above your head than you could ever imagine. It’s just a matter if *you* can handle the heat, but then again we won’t know won’t we? It all happens in the ring, and if I’ve shown anything ever since I’ve gotten here, I really do live up to the name The Red Queen don’t I? I fight at my absolute best because anything less? Well then what would that make of me, and I don’t plan to slow down, in fact, I’m looking to hit the gas and kick it up to a max. Because losing? Well losing is never an option for me, I hope you’re watching what I plan to do heading into our match, it’s gonna be fun. Because I’m going to give you a reason to believe that I’m taking your title, and I’m taking it good, because you didn’t call my name for no reason did you? Funny, don’t expect anything less than perfect from me because I’m not going to stop till you can see clearly from the mountaintops the signs, and it’s clear, I am your next Universal Women’s Champion, and there’s nothing that you can do about it Serena.
(Ms. Extreme would take her luggage as she would begin to haul them into the arena as the last shot was her disappearing inside as the scene would fade out from there and Voltage would transition to elsewhere afterward)
(Returning to ringside, the cameras sweep down in front of the commentary table, where seated in front of the trio are Andre Walker and Serena Bennett, the New Breed Champion and Universal Women’s Champion respectively.)
Bella Braxton: The following singles match is scheduled for-
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy begins to play and Andre Walker can be seen on camera for a moment rolling his eyes at the cheers for Donovan as he comes out.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Stillwater, Oklahoma…. weighing 215 pounds…. DONOVAAAAAN DUUUUUUKE!!!
James Peters: Donovan Duke has made it a mission to make Andre Walker take him seriously, and on this past Dynasty, he just might’ve been able to do that!
Persephone: I seriously doubt it. Did you see the way Andre walked in here during the break? If he was facing Rex, he sure as hell wouldn’t have that ego going for him.
Rich Russillo: Well, he’s not facing Rex down the line at Road to Redemption, it’s Donovan, who has the potential to walk away as the new New Breed Champion!
(Donovan enters the ring with a confident smirk and takes the time to stare down Andre from the ring, but Andre appears unaffected, just for Donovan to shake his head with a laugh. “Gangsta” by New Years Day hits to a massive amount of cheers, while Serena can be heard sounding off with unenthused booing upon Ms. Extreme’s arrival.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Calabassas, California… weighing 136 pounds…. MS. EXTREEEEEME!!!
Rich Russillo: Serena and Ms. Extreme have made it no secret to everyone that they don’t like each other, going as far as costing each other matches and wins! While I can only imagine what that’ll mean for the way these two go at each other at Road to Redemption, tonight could be explosive!
James Peters: Having seen these two interact, there’s bound to be something going on over the course of this match, it’s just a matter of what and when!
Persephone: I’m hoping they at least fight here at ringside and kill each other, honestly. I mean, I definitely didn’t ask to see this match and that’d make up for it at least.
James Peters: This has the potential to be an interesting match-up, Persephone! I wouldn’t be so quick to write off Donovan or what we’ll be able to get from both him and Ms. Extreme in this; let’s just see how things play out!
(Ms. Extreme enters the ring with a grin before turning her sights to Serena, who gives her a petty two thumbs down, prior to standing up and raising the Universal Women’s Title and shouting Ms. Extreme would never get it. Waving off the Champion, Ms. Extreme turns her attention to Donovan, who appears ready to go!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Donovan Duke is here with one of the biggest match-ups of his career right now, as he takes on the former Interwire and PURE Champion in Ms. Extreme! And Donovan seems to understand the weight of the moment as his first course of action, is to offer Ms. Extreme his hand to shake; a sign of great sportsmanship :wow:!!!
Rich Russillo: But something tells me when these four meet in the ring for their respective matches, this won’t be the sight we see at the start :lupe:!!
Persephone: Neither Serena nor Andre appear to be impressed by this, and for once and what’ll probably be the last time, I’m on the same side as that blue-haired gremlin! If all they’re gonna do is be friendly about this, then I’m not sure how much I’ll be interested!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme and Donovan circle the ring looking to lock up in the middle, but Camillle ducks down under and around Donovan, capturing him in a waist lock! Duke pushing down on Extreme’s hands in an attempt to break- AND HE GETS IT AND SWINGS AROUND WILDLY LOOKING FOR A DANGEROUS RIGHT HAND BUT MS. EXTREME DIPS DOWN BEFORE TAKING HIM TO THE MAT WITH A BACK HEEL TRIP!
James Peters: DONOVAN RUSHES TO HIS FEET ONLY TO BE TRAPPED IN A SIDE HEADLOCK AT THE HANDS OF MS. EXTREME! Donovan lands a few punches to the back but Ms. Extreme merely adjusts the hold to stay in control; she isn’t letting this one go! Ms. Extreme wrenches on it in an attempt to wear him down early it seems- DONOVAN LIFTS MS. EXTREME OFF HER FEET BUT SHE WRIGGLES BACK TO THE MAT! I DON’T KNOW HOW WISE IT IS TO KEEP THAT HOLD ON AS HE TAKES HER UP INTO THE AIR AGAIN BUT MS. EXTREME COMES DOWN TO THE MAT FOR A SNAPMARE!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN TURNS OVER INTO A SPINNING SIDE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE, EFFECTIVELY STUNNING HIM FOR THE MOMENT! SHE WHIPS HIM ACROSS THE RING AND DONOVAN HITS OFF THE ROPES, RUNNING BACK AND DIVING OVER A BENT OVER MS. EXTREME INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN! NO! SHE USES THE MOMENTUM OF GETTING PULLED DOWN TO ROLL OUT AND THERE’S A LOW DROPKICK TO DONOVAN’S FACE!!
Persephone: Camille takes him into the corner where she smashes his head off the top turnbuckle and starts delivering a series of stomps, leaving Donovan with nowhere to go. Trapped and in pain – I can totally relate to how he’s feeling!

Rich Russillo: You’re in pain?! What’s wrong, queen?! I’m here to help!
Persephone: It’s the pain of knowing there hasn’t been a Rex sighting in months and I’m trapped here among all of you without him; it’s literally a nightmare :mjcry:
James Peters: Ms. Extreme looks to be a nightmare for Donovan’s chances right now, as a final kick has him doubled over! The former Interwire Champion strikes with a nasty uppercut before pulling him out toward the middle of the ring in a front headlock and following through on a snap suplex! She keeps a hold of him to pull herself over him and she jumps into the air just to come crashing down with an elbow drop to the chest for the first cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: Donovan seems to power his shoulder up off the mat just before the referee can call a two count, and the camera catches a glimpse of Andre Walker not looking thrilled at all with his Road to Redemption challenger! In fact, he doesn’t look surprised or interested at all, but Donovan Duke surely has to have something up his sleeve to turn that attitude right around!

Persephone: Are you and me even watching the same match right now? Donovan Duke isn’t even wearing anything with any type of sleeves in this match to pull something out of, but whatever. Anyway, Ms. Extreme grabs his wrists and plants a boot to his chest before raising him up just to drive him back down with some authority to the mat, giving him no chance to block that. And he gets no time to catch his breath after having the air driven right out his lungs as she drags him up to his feet before whipping him across the ring-
James Peters: Donovan Duke hits off the ropes looking for a handspring elbow but Ms. Extreme is smart to evade it! Ducking down and around just as the New Breed Contender turns to find his target, she takes him from behind right into the corner, where she slams into the middle of his back with repeated shoulder thrusts! She disregards the official’s calls to bring things out of the corner and Donovan manages to turn around, only to get sent out with an exploder suplex! He seems to know he can’t allow Camille to stay in control for too long as he tries getting to his feet almost immediately, but Ms. Extreme is already on him looking for a suplex-
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE COUNTERS WITH A TIMELY BACK BODY DROP! Ms. Extreme goes up and over before she crashes down to the mat, and Donovan Duke aims to gain the advantage with a jumping leg drop- NO! Ms. Extreme rolls out the way and charges forward for a clothesline that Donovan ducks under, leaving Ms. Extreme to go running off the ropes and she returns into a back kick! SUPERKICK BY DONOVAN SHOOTS EXTREME TO A VERTICAL ALBEIT UNSTEADY BASE, AND THERE’S AN EXPLODER SUPLEX BY DONOVAN!
James Peters: Perhaps with an intention of trying to one-up Camille there, Donovan quickly follows up by hurrying over to grab her and Ms. Extreme gets launched across the ring off that release german suplex! She drags herself to the ropes to try to get up, but Donovan is already coming at her- Ms. Extreme sends him out through the top and middle ropes! Donovan stays on the apron, however, and goes to get to his feet- MS. EXTREME WITH A HUGE DROPKICK TO SEND HIM TO THE FLOOR!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN FALLS TO THE GROUND AND BARELY MAKES IT TO HIS FEET WHEN MS. EXTREME COMES DIVING OFF THE APRON, TAKING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A LEAPING FOREARM SMASH! DONOVAN GOES DOWN COVERING HIS HEAD AFTER THE FACT AND MS. EXTREME IS IN NO HURRY TO GET BACK INTO THE RING JUST YET, AS SHE PROCEEDS TO DRIVE HIM BACK-FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! THEY MIGHT HAVE SHAKEN HANDS TO START THIS, BUT MS. EXTREME CLEARLY HAS NO PLANS OF GOING ABOUT THIS NICELY AT ALL!
Persephone: I mean, I know she wants to send a message and everything, but there’s so many other ways to go about that that don’t include this match. It doesn’t help Serena’s here either, because that’ll just make her more determined than usual- actually, I think Serena’s about to walk out :blessed:!!! The Universal Women’s Champion gets up from her chair here in front of us to make her way around the corner of the ring, and she… leans against the apron, watching Camille with a nasty smile on her face? She totally played and fucked with my emotions and had me thinking she was leaving; this bitch is sick in the head!
James Peters: Somehow, I don’t think you’re even relevant to her right now! She’s completely focused on Ms. Extreme right now and as she went to roll Donovan into the ring, it seems she’s finally noticed Serena being far too close for comfort! She warns Serena to not interfere but Serena is quick to mouth off right back, and we know how much these two can’t stand each other! Both of them shout over each other- DONOVAN DUKE SWINGS THROUGH THE ROPES AND KICKS MS. EXTREME DOWN, SERENA BARELY MANAGES TO AVOID GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THAT!
Rich Russillo: That wrecking ball dropkick takes Ms. Extreme right off her feet and Donovan appears determined to show why he shouldn’t be overlooked, but that look he just cast to Serena doesn’t seem like he appreciates her presence; he’d much prefer to win this one all on his own! She shrugs and rolls her eyes, not bothering to return to her seat and instead stays by the apron while Donovan goes up top in anticipation of Ms. Extreme! DIVING CROSSBODY CONNECTS AND DONOVAN STAYS ON TOP OF HER FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme kicks out but Donovan isn’t deterred, instead connecting with a wicked kick to the ribs! Ms. Extreme turns over onto her stomach and takes a knee drop to the back! Donovan keeps his knee pressed into her back and grabs a leg, pulling her into a single leg boston crab; she’s never been one to tap out and I doubt she’d do it so easily now! Ms. Extreme seems to plan on trying to drag and claw her way to the ropes, all while Donovan has yet to relent!
Rich Russillo: He leans further back into his hold and Camille actually tries to push herself up off the mat while all of Donovan’s weight is on top of her! But she quickly realizes that isn’t happening for her and tries to turn her upper body to try to swing at him, but Donovan raises up and drops into a seated position before grabbing her other leg; a seated, full boston crab will do no favors for Ms. Extreme’s back! She makes the attempt to trudge forward on her forearms but look at the direction she has to go – Serena’s right there just on the outside!
James Peters: Serena pouts her lips as she makes mocking faces at Ms. Extreme, and now all that cheering she’s doing is no doubt insincere! That’s a look of anger on Ms. Extreme’s face now as she reaches for the ropes but no doubt wanting to get her hands on the Universal Women’s Champion as well, and she reaches forward again-
Rich Russillo: SERENA PULLS THE BOTTOM ROPE OUT OF MS. EXTREME’S REACH! SERENA MOCKINGLY CALLS FOR MS. EXTREME TO GET TO THE BOTTOM ROPE KNOWING DAMN SHE CAN’T GET HER HANDS ON IT, AND THIS ONLY ALLOWS DONOVAN TO KEEP HIS HOLD APPLIED LONGER THAN IT WOULD’VE BEEN; HE CAN’T EVEN SEE IT WITH HIS BACK TURNED!

Persephone: She’s gonna tap :blessed:!!! Serena finally makes herself good for something instead of trying to intimidate me on commentary, and I don’t think we can thank her enough for this! But ugh, the referee is screaming at Serena to let go of the rope and it’s not like it even matters anymore because Donovan was dumb enough to let go of the submission when I know for a fact she would’ve tapped out
James Peters: Ms. Extreme pulls herself up with the ropes to kneel and shouts at Serena for involving herself just now, even trying to take a swipe at the champion! But Donovan yanks Ms. Extreme up and shoves her backward, frustrated that she’s taken her attention off of him! Ms. Extreme shoves him back, clearly annoyed, before she takes a forearm shot to the face! But Ms. Extreme fires right back! Donovan kicks her in the gut and chops her across the chest, causing Ms. Extreme to look to respond with a lunging punch but Donovan ducks and grabs her into a northern lights suplex!
Rich Russillo: But he isn’t done as he kicks over and raises her with him into another! Donovan bridging up to hold her down for the cover!
OOOONNNNEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: Laaaaame! Ms. Extreme kicks out and I can tell from the look on Donovan’s face that he’s alright with this one not being over just yet; that just makes him totally maniacal, if you ask me! Donovan sends her into the corner where he charges in with a high knee that catches Ms. Extreme right on the jaw. Andre Walker still doesn’t look impressed and leans back in his chair, while Donovan looks to run out the corner with a bulldog but Ms. Extreme pushes him away and he turns around into an unfortunately timely dropkick.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme knocks him back but not for long as he merely fell into the ropes and looks to rebound with a lariat, but Ms. Extreme ducks under it! Donovan hits off the next set of ropes and Ms. Extreme uses his own momentum against him for a snap power slam! She grabs at her lower back for a moment before taking Duke up and sending him into the corner where she leaps in, connecting with a clothesline! The former champion using all her strength to lift him up onto the top turnbuckle but Donovan tries to kick her away, only she catches his leg and flips over the top rope!
James Peters: DONOVAN JUST TOOK AN UNCOMFORTABLE FALL TO THE FLOOR RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ANDRE WALKER! The New Breed Champion shakes his head dismissively and sets the Championship down, getting up and grabbing Donovan to roll him back into the ring?! It appears he’ll be taking after Serena’s lead and standing alongside the apron as well, but not without a confused look from Donovan, who’s just as annoyed with Andre as Extreme was with Serena!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme must’ve settled with the fact they’re just something they’ll have to deal with at ringside like this, as she goes right after Donovan from behind! But she misses her hit and Donovan ends up behind her, pulling her into a roll-up! Donovan’s gonna take it!
OOOONNNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEE!!!!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme kicks out again but all that pressure on her targeted back surely had to do with that close count! She turns over as quickly as she can- LEFT-HANDED “DEALER’S CHOICE”!!! NO! SHE DUCKS UNDER IT BUT DONOVAN HITS A KNEE STRIKE! NOW HE COMES BACK AROUND THE OPPOSITE WAY AND A RIGHT-HANDED SPINNING BACKFIST FINALLY CONNECTS!!! MS. EXTREME STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH HER HAND TO HER FACE LOOKING COMPLETELY TAKEN ABACK!!!
Persephone: Ms. Extreme barely has any time to react as Donovan comes charging at her but she manages to lift him up and over the top rope to buy herself some time. She’s slow to throw a punch and Donovan slides back into the ring underneath her- Ms. Extreme tries to obliterate his face with a knee drop as he gets stuck trying to pull her down into a pin.
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE ON HER COUNTER BY STOMPING ON HIS FACE BEFORE GOING TO HIS STOMACH! THIS CAUSES HIM TO SIT UP AND SHE BRINGS HIM TO HIS FEET IN A HEADLOCK, DRIVING HER ELBOW DOWN INTO HIS BACK! AND NOW THERE’S A SERIES OF KNEE LIFTS INTO HIS CHEST FROM CAMILLE!! DONOVAN FINALLY MANAGES TO PUSH HER BACK INTO THE ROPES BUT SHE SHOOTS BACK AND GRABS HIM ON THE WAY!! SHE KICKS OFF THE NEXT SET OF ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG!!! DONOVAN GETS DRIVEN FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT AND MS. EXTREME MAKES THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEE-
James Peters: Serena shakes her head and shouts at Ms. Extreme to do better, and that only seems to annoy her Road to Redemption challenger but that seems to be exactly what she wants! Camille calls for her to shut up and even goes as far as to kick the bottom rope on Serena’s side, and the Champion backs away just to try to grab at Camille’s leg under the rope despite seeing she’s well out of reach! Ms. Extreme whips back around to yell at her again, but clearly, Serena’s made it clear that she’s here to now simply annoy Ms. Extreme; that hothead attitude of Camille’s is well-known and she’s looking to exploit that!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme finally heads back over to Donovan as he’s still on the mat and she reaches down to grab him- SMALL PACKAGE BY DONOVAN DUKE!!! DONOVAN PULLS HER DOWN INTO A PIN AND THE REFEREE SLIDES INTO POSITION TO COUNT!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: I can’t stand this! These bitches have to stop kicking out!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme and Donovan rush to their feet with Ms. Extreme ducking a punch and running off the ropes, and she comes off them, leaping into Donovan with a crossbody takedown! She comes rolling off him and beats him to her feet, coming down on him with a low-angle clothesline! Ms. Extreme drags him up and knocks him back into the corner closest to Andre Walker with a combination of strikes, one after the other, before she tries to suplex him out the corner but Donovan slips out and clubs her over her back!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme goes down and Donovan pulls her in as he gets on the turnbuckles! “DOUBLE DOWN” TORNADO DDT OUT THE CORNER BY DONOVAN DUKE!! WAIT!! MS. EXTREME TURNS THEM AROUND AGAIN BUT SHE’S ABLE TO SEND HIM OUT OVER THE TOP ROPE! Donovan misses his chance to grab the ropes to keep himself on the apron and he ends up on the ground, looking up at Andre, who asks Donovan if what he’s doing is gonna be good enough to beat him at Road to Redemption! Camille tells Andre to back up after getting his hands on Donovan to shove him into the ring, and Andre waves her off and leaves him there on the apron, but Donovan’s fired up enough as it is after that and stands to meet Ms. Extreme on the apron just as she steps out, but a swift kick to the gut doubles him over and another sends him falling through the ropes into the ring!
James Peters: Donovan rolls over onto his knees- AND MS. EXTREME SLIPS BACK INTO THE RING TO GRAB HIM! AS FAST AS SHE CAN, SHE GETS HER ARMS AROUND HIS HEAD FOR THE SPINNING NECKBREAKER!!! “TWIST OF FATE” TAKES DONOVAN DUKE DOWN!!! MS. EXTREME WITH THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT!!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme looks to the referee for reassurance on the count, and it’s taking everything in her to ignore Serena’s hysterical laughing on the outside right now! Ms. Extreme shakes her head and starts getting to her feet with Donovan, keeping him close and striking him over his head as she looks to stay in control! Ms. Extreme couldn’t look more frustrated but that’s no doubt got to do with Serena’s taunting and meanwhile, Andre is shouting for Donovan to “do something impressive”.
Persephone: I think I’d much prefer to see either them do something to actually end this! Ms. Extreme sure as hell isn’t gonna be the one to do that right now as she tried to set up for a suplex and got Donovan in the air, but her back couldn’t support it and she nearly collapsed to the mat.
Rich Russillo: The only thing keeping her up is Donovan- WHO KNEES HER IN THE GUT AND TUCKS HER HEAD DOWN!!! DONOVAN FIGHTING TO GET THAT “BANKRUPT” SUBMISSION APPLIED AFTER LOOKING TO ANDRE, WHO’S SURELY HAVING FLASHBACKS TO DYNASTY!! IF HE HAD TROUBLE REMEMBERING WHAT DONOVAN’S NAME WAS, HE’LL SURELY REMEMBER HIM EVEN BETTER NOW IF HE CAN GET THIS LOCKED IN AND DEFEAT MS. EXTREME!!
James Peters: BUT MS. EXTREME SENSES THE URGENCY, AS SHE TRIES TO FIGHT HIM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!! I’M NOT SURE HOW MUCH SHE’LL HAVE LEFT TO STAY ON HER FEET IF HE GETS THIS ON FULLY!!!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME WITH THE DESPERATION BACK DROP AND THEY BOTH GO DOWN!!! MS. EXTREME KICKS AT THE MAT WITH A HAND PRESSED TO HER BACK AND DONOVAN IS ALREADY MOVING!! DONOVAN DRAGGING CAMILLE UP TO HER FEET AND HE SHOVES HER BACKWARD INTO THE ROPES!! MS. EXTREME COMES BACK AND GETS POPPED UP INTO THE AIR-
James Peters: METEORA FROM MS. EXTREME!!! MS. EXTREME WITH A POP-UP METEORA AND SHE COMES CRASHING DOWN ONTO DONOVAN DUKE, FORCING HIM TO THE MAT! Ms. Extreme grabs at her back again as she’s beside Donovan and looks out to Serena, who’s glaring right back at her! Ms. Extreme nods to herself and heads to the turnbuckles closest to Serena! She climbs up and looks down at her before taking off!
Rich Russillo: “A BLIND FURY”!!!! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP FROM THE TOP ROPE TO DONOVAN AND MS. EXTREME TURNS OVER INTO THE PIN!!!
OOONNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Gangsta” by New Years Day begins to play the crowd ignites into cheers for Ms. Extreme, as she rises to her feet and the referee comes over to raise her hand.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MS. EXTREEEEME!!!
James Peters: Despite the unofficial ringside enforcers we ended up with, we still got a great match out of these two! Ms. Extreme bags herself a win, but Donovan Duke definitely came close to walking away with this one more than once throughout this match!
Rich Russillo: There’s no doubt that Donovan Duke showed that he had what it could take to defeat Ms. Extreme, but it was a few couple of timely counters on the part of Ms. Extreme that should’ve reminded everyone why she’s not entirely just a reckless, hotheaded loudmouth!
(Serena doesn’t appear bothered at all by the outcome, instead rolling her eyes as Ms. Extreme pointed over to the Universal Women’s Championship that Serena left at her chair. Ms. Extreme proceeds to help up Donovan, who had been sitting on the mat after coming to, and pats him on the shoulder before pulling him closer to whisper something in his ear to which Donovan silently nods in an understanding manner.)
Persephone: Okay, whatever, the match is over and both teams played great and all that or whatever – we get it! It’s finished, so let’s move on-
James Peters: DONOVAN DUKE AND MS. EXTREME CHARGE OUT THE RING WITH TANDEM SUICIDE DIVES TO ANDRE WALKER AND SERENA BENNETT!!!! THE TWO OF THEM TAKE OUT THEIR RESPECTIVE ROAD TO REDEMPTION OPPONENTS AND ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE DOWN!!!!
Rich Russillo: It seems that Ms. Extreme convinced Donovan to get in on this one with her, and they’re not done! MS. EXTREME DRAGS SERENA UP TO HER FEET AND STARTS SWINGING ON HER RIGHT AWAY, FINALLY ABLE TO PUT ALL HER FOCUS ONTO THE CHAMPION!!! MS. EXTREME AND SERENA BATTLE IT OUT HERE AT RINGSIDE, AS SERENA RETURNS THE FIRE AND DOESN’T BACK DOWN!!!
James Peters: AND OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE WE’VE GOT DONOVAN DUKE AND ANDRE WALKER GOING AT IT!!! ROAD TO REDEMPTION’S NEW BREED TITLE MATCH IS SEEMINGLY UNFOLDING RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US, AND IT’S HARD TO TELL WHO’S GETTING THE BETTER OF THIS ONE BUT DONOVAN DUKE HAS NO DOUBT BEEN FIRED UP AFTER DYNASTY!!! DONOVAN CLUBS ANDRE OVER HIS HEAD AND ANDRE STUMBLES BACK-
Rich Russillo: ANDRE JUST FUCKING FLOORED DONOVAN WITH WHAT MIGHT’VE BEEN THE STIFFEST RIGHT HAND I’VE EVER SEEN!!! ANDRE LOOKS FURIOUS THAT HE FOUND HIMSELF ON THE END OF THAT ATTACK AND HE’S NOT FINISHED WITH DONOVAN AT ALL! ANDRE TAKES HIM UP INTO THE AIR!! “THUNDERBOLT TEMPO”!!! DONOVAN DUKE IS OUT!!!
James Peters: AND MS. EXTREME AND SERENA BENNETT ARE LITERALLY NOT GIVING EACH OTHER ANY BIT OF AN INCH OF AN ADVANTAGE!!! MS. EXTREME GOING AT SERENA’S HEAD WITH THOSE RIGHT HANDS AND SERENA STRIKES WITH PUNCH TO THE GUT!! BUT IT’S A QUICK EVASION ON THE PART OF SERENA, WHO GRABS CAMILLE’S ARM AS SHE DUCKS UNDER A PUNCH AND- “TIP TOE”!!! SERENA STRIKES DOWN MS. EXTREME!!!!
(Serena Bennett and Andre Walker stand over their Road to Redemption opponents after the ambush, the both of them collecting their championships and raising them up. The cameras capture the visuals of the New Breed Champion and the Universal Women’s Champion standing over Donovan Duke and Ms. Extreme respectively, and the champions couldn’t appear prouder of themselves in the moment!)
James Peters: Some of Dynasty’s top talents stand tall here on Voltage, and while I don’t like the idea of anyone coming over to our show and sending this kind of message at our talents’ expense, there’s no denying that Donovan and Ms. Extreme are no doubt going to have their hands more than full come Road to Redemption!
Persephone: Can’t believe these fools let Dynasty come here and make a mockery of Rex’s show! He absolutely would NOT have stood for this!
Rich Russillo: Well, neither Ms. Extreme or Donovan Duke are standing now, but I know that for the four of them, this is all far from over!
(Andre and Serena continue to trash talk their laid out adversaries, being sure that they get the message across loud and clear to them and everyone watching that there’s not the slightest hint of doubt in their confidence. As they completely ignore the referee trying to escort them away from the scene, completely focused on Donovan and Camille who they can barely bring themselves to move as it is, the scene eventually fades out.)
(Commercial promoting Playboi Carti’s new feature on “Flex up” with Lil Yachty and Future, starring fellow Vampire Bronson Daniels.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is a qualification match for the Extreme Elimination Chamber… and it is scheduled for…
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: No no… it is a GAUNTLET MATCH!!! So it is scheduled for many falls.
Virtual Crowd: O my bad.
Bella Braxton: Per the decree of Voltage General Manager Captain Charisma Ahren Fournier will be permitted to choose his competition for the evening! Now please welcome the brave soul who will be running tonight’s gauntlet…
(“How You Like THat” by BLACKPINK hits to boos from the virtual crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Pawtucket, Rhode Island weighing in at 201 pounds he is “The Captain of Voltage” AHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREN FOURNIERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
(Ahren Fournier comes out with his umbrella as the fans boo loudly thru their monitors. As Ahren walks down the ramp he points his umbrella out into the crowd and hits the power button on a number of the monitors to shut them off.)
James Peters: Honestly, I was surprised as anyone else that Ahren would offer to put himself in this kind of position. I mean a gauntlet match is a very tough thing. You have to face your opponents one after the other and survive all of them to win. It’s not best 2 out of 3. You have to win ALL the matches or nothing really counts.
Persephone: Rex could defeat the entire roster in a Gauntlet Match. One at a time! Hopefully he can get that filthy whore Raven out of the way early too because we all know that she is just an early round. Once Rex gets through her he can move on to people like myself. The main event.
Rich Russillo: Well we will see who Ahren picks as his opponents here tonight. Ahren Fournier looking to prove once again that he is the GOAT of EAW. If he can pull off an impressive victory here tonight then he will obviously be the biggest threat walking into that Extreme Elimination Chamber.
(Ahren Fournier is handed a microphone in the ring as Bella Braxton steps to the outside and takes a seat.)
Ahren Fournier: Good job babe. Maybe I will let you pet Jennipurr later after that great introduction. Well she probably won’t allow it. Oh well! Your loss. My win. Speaking of winning that is what I do best. Because I am the goat. Tonight I shall prove that when I defeat a collection of opponents selected by my good self. Given my skills at scouting talent I assure you that my competition for this Gauntlet Match will be the meanest, toughest, baddest sons of bitches that have ever entered an EAW ring. These men are above even Hall of Fame level, just like I am, and far beyond any competition that I have ever faced before. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous… but I am Ahren Fournier. I will do my very best and I believe with confidence that in the end I will be able to prevail!!!
Persephone: Let’s get this over with! *clap clap clapclapclap*
Ahren Fournier: Fine. Let’s bring out the first competitor! This man is a true savage in every sense of the word. He became the unfortunate loser who had to team up with my former partner Chris Elite after I was done with him. I mean he had to team with Chris out of his prime and I feel bad for this man because I know what it is like to have to carry Chris through all those matches. This guy lost his mind and was cast out unfairly from both EAW and his police unit. He is the star detective of the BVU… he once was the apprentice but has since become the MASTER! I give to you…
Voiceover: In the briminal justice system, dickeating based offenses are considered especially heinous in Elite Answers Wrestling, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are known as an elite squad known as the Bozo Victims Unit. These are their stories.
GLTTT GLTTT
Ahren Fournier: BHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKER JOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
(A fat balding man with his gut busting out of his Cheeto stained wifebeater makes his way down to the ring yelling at the camera that he is Bhaker Jones.)
Bhaker Jones: Now you listen up here Sonny. I am Bhaker and you are going to believe that. I won the Big Bhaker Bhampionship so many times that your head would spin. Now how about you get the hell off my lawn and let me into the ring so daddy can take care of business. That ring is my kitchen and Bhaker is about to do some baking the likes of which Ahren could never dream of.
James Peters: What the hell? Who is this fat loser? Are we letting the fans in the building again?
Rich Russillo: Well I guess this could be the real Bhaker Jones but he has really let himself go… We haven’t seen him for some time in EAW I thought he was fired from the company but here he is…
Bhaker Jones: Everyone please check my thread I posted it on the forum. I want you all to review my latest work. Am I doing good? Please tell me I’m doing good. I don’t get why I am losing matches let’s discuss that. Also I need some graphics and I’m probably just going to take the next two weeks off but hopefully you guys can get that stuff done. EAW’s tron team is uber cool and I deserve their hard work to make me some sexy content. Come on bhake something up for me real quick lovies.
(Bhaker Jones trips between the ropes as he enters the ring.)
Bhaker Jones: AH THERE YOU ARE BHRIS! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!
Ahren Fournier: What the hell. I am obviously not Bhris. Don’t you dare confuse me with a loser like him.
Bhaker Jones: What the… you dare to insult my master? I’m going to kill you BITCH!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: And Ahren Fournier immediately lays out Bhaker Jones with PROTECT YA NECK! Ahren with the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Bhaker Jones has been eliminated!!!
Rich Russillo: Ahren making quick work of his first opponent!
James Peters: Well maybe this was a warm up round? Hopefully they aren’t all as easy as this.
Persephone: Well it’s a lot of work for me just to watch all these matches so I’m impressed with Ahren for making it fly by as fast as possible. Good work Ahren!
(“I Wish I Was In Dixie” by the Confederate States of America blasts across the speakers but is quickly shut off due to network censorship.)
James Peters: Damn we just lost all our advertisers.
Rich Russillo: Damn not again.
(Cac DeMarco makes his way out to the ring to complete silence carrying a microphone. He is shown picking shards of glass out of his skin as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Cac DeMarco: Uh huh. Oh I see how it is. You see a cac like me and think I don’t deserve any music. I am tired of being treated this way. Did you see what they did to me at House of Glass? I will have you know that I don’t even have a house! Oh no they won’t grant a cac a loan! Now they bring me back here and can’t even see fit to give me music! The music of my ancestors and my people. You hate to see it!
Ahren Fournier: My next hand selected opponent in this Gauntlet Match is the legend himself… the man who has gotten more views and more media buzz in the last couple months than anyone in EAW today… he is CACCCCCCCCCCCCCCC DEMARCO!!!
Cac DeMarco: IT’S CHRISTIAN! CHRISTIAN DEMARCO! I am a good Catholic boy. Oh I see you down there Ahren. You never had to struggle the way I have! Why were you never subjected to discrimination Ahren? You are just as much a cac as I am!
Ahren Fournier: :whoa:
Cac DeMarco: I am never lackin’. Always pistol packin’. Can I have a push now Ahren? Is that good enough for you? That was a rap lyric Ahren. That’s what it takes to get a push in this business right? Oh I’m so sorry that I don’t know enough about African American culture around here Ahren. I apologize because my Thanksgiving dinner was just a little too dry and a little too bland for your liking Ahren. Sick of this shit. Do you need another rhyme Ahren? I’m going to beat the shit out of you and show you that rage I have been keeping inside for far too long. I am going to reach into my back and pull it out Ahren!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: But before Cac DeMarco can remove whatever he had in his schoolbag Ahren strikes! Ahren Fournier connects with The Climax! Ripcord Knee Strike to the face! Ahren off the ropes as Cac DeMarco lies on his hands and knees… STORYBOOK ENDING CONNECTS! AHREN WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Cac DeMarco has been eliminated!!!
Ahren Fournier: Whew. That was a tough one. I am starting to work up a sweat. Not sure how many more of these tough five star classic matches I can handle.
Rich Russillo: Oh. I see how this is going to go. Ahren isn’t even taking these Gauntlet selections seriously.
Persephone: Come on Rich. Cac DeMarco is an extremely relevant figure in EAW these days. Did you see how he used that rap lyric in his promo?
James Peters: Well he might get a World Title shot after that in the future but for tonight he just is once again an embarrassment to this company as a whole.
Ahren Fournier: Alright! Who is nexty next! Give me an easy one this time guys. I need a breather.
(FIRE ERUPTS FROM THE STAGE AS THE ENTIRE ARENA DESCENDS INTO A DARK RED LIGHT!!!)
Persephone, James, & Rich: :whoa:
Ahren Fournier: :noah:
Bella Braxton: He has risen…
James Peters: Who the hell is that? Why do I smell something burning?
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith must be in the kitchen again!
Persephone: :mjlol:
(A dark figure slowly limps to the stage. He is shown wearing wrestling tights but from head to toe his skin is a dark black. Some of it is shown peeling off falling in pitch black charred pieces on the ramp. He screams out in pain with every movement as he slowly makes his way down the ramp. He looks up at Ahren in the ring through bright red eyes clearly damaged in some unfortunate accident a long time ago.)
James Peters: What the hell… this man looks like he is coming out to the ring straight out of a house fire!
Ahren Fournier: Ah it is you! I wasn’t sure you were going to actually make it! Ladies and gentlemen making his long awaited return after a long absence… I give to you PAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL JOSHUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
(Paul Joshua is shown raising his arm in celebration of his return when there is a loud crackling noise. The arm suddenly snaps off and falls down to the mat where it collides with the ground and crumples into a large pile of black ash.)
Persephone: Does that count as an amputation?
Rich Russillo: I guess. Hopefully that will satisfy our fans.
Paul Joshua: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The charred corpse of Paul Joshua has been resurrected to fight Ahren Fournier in the ring here tonight! As some of you may remember last year at Blood Spot Paul Joshua was taken backstage after being set aflame and never seen again.
Persephone: Damn. I thought he died actually.
Rich Russillo: I forgot about him entirely tbh.
Paul Joshua: AHHHHHHHHHH!!! YOU ALL FORGOT ABOUT ME!!! I HAVE BEEN IN SO MUCH PAIN! THEY DIDN’T EVEN PUT THE FIRE OUT! IT HAS BEEN BURNING! BURNING FOR SO LONG!!! IT STILL BURNS IN PLACES!!! DARK PLACES YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE!!! YOU WANT TO SEE WHERE IT BURNS MOST AHREN? LET ME SHOW YOU…
Ahren Fournier: Nah man I don’t swing that way. If you got a burning sensation down there you should really talk to your doctor about that.
Paul Joshua: I DON’T HAVE MUCH LONGER AHREN! I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU SUFFER AS I HAVE SUFFERED!!!
(Paul Joshua reaches down to pick up what is left of his broken off arm as he lifts it back up in a vain attempt to reattach it. However, the arm falls down to the mat once again with the hand slapping the canvas.)
Referee: THAT’S A TAP OUT! CALL FOR THE BELL!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: PAUL JOSHUA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Ahren Fournier: Damn and I didn’t even have to do anything. Thanks for the breather I asked for Paul. That was mighty kind of you. You a good guy.
Paul Joshua: You have not seen the last of me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
(Suddenly Paul Joshua spontaneously combusts into flames in the ring and melts into a pile of ashes which blow away from the ring. The ashes are shown being sucked into the vents of the arena and filtered outside as part of the structure’s extensive COVID prevention measures such as air recycling. However, as the ashes are sucked up the disembodied voice of Paul Joshua can be heard.)
Paul Joshua’s ghost: I shall return Ahren… I shall return to EAW and you all will BURN!
Ahren Fournier: Yeah okay. I have been dealing with my own burning ever since I was with Kassidy. Sorry Mr. DEDEDE I probably should have warned you about that…
(The camera fades into the audience where members of the EAW universe are shown watching on their monitors. A young teenage girl is shown cheering wearing her Ahren Fournier t-shirt as she smiles through her braces. Her smile suddenly turns to confusion as there is a loud ding notification from her computer.)
Girl: Huh what is this?
Mysterious DM: Hey baby. How’s it goin’???
Girl: Ummm… fine I guess. Who is this?
Mysterious DM: Wrong question lovie. How about you send me some pics?
Girl: Eeew no! I’m blocking you.
Mysterious DM: Hehehe the question shouldn’t have been “Who is this?”… it should have been “Where is this?”.
(Suddenly a hooded figure is shown grabbing the teenage girl from behind with a chloroform rag as the monitor quickly turns to black. EAW officials are shown scrambling calling the police and trying to figure out what has just happened at ringside.)
Production Official: Hmm it appears that was actually not a live stream being broadcast… we are getting a reading that it is a prerecorded video being broadcast live using our virtual audience service… That means…
(Suddenly the lights go out as a maniacal laughter is heard.)
Mysterious Voice: Hahaha.
Ahren Fournier: …!
Persephone: Come on Rex. No need to be this mysterious or kidnap people to get my attention. You are just so extra aren’t you!
Mysterious Voice: I will no longer be rejected. My DMs were but the first step of my plan. Sarah… Raven… Sierra… Kassidy… I came to you all. I came to you all as an innocent young man who just wanted attention. Who just wanted love. But you denied me. You claimed that my DMs were “creepy”. YOU GOT ME FIRED FROM THE COMPANY! But you couldn’t keep me out… Oh no… GRIZZLY BEAR ROCCO ALWAYS FINDS A WAY BACK IN!!!
(A loud roaring bear noise is heard as former EAW wrestler Grizzly Bear Rocco is shown making his way to the ring dragging the kidnapped teenage girl behind him in a burlap sack.)
Rich Russillo: We have been informed that the police have been notified and will be here to the arena within the next three minutes.
Grizzly Bear Rocco: You see they all assumed that my DMs were mistakes. That I wasn’t aware some of the people I messaged were actually men. They thought that I was only in this to prey on vulnerable young women on the internet. Well you see Ahren. They were right… but that is only part of it! The truth was I did not care. I love em all!
(Grizzly Bear Rocco gets up very close to Ahren as he licks his lips dripping in green colored drool that drips to the ring mat like burning acid.)
Ahren Fournier: My god the odor…
Grizzly Bear Rocco: When you invited me back to the ring for this Gauntlet Match Ahren… I knew that I had finally found my sole mate. No longer will I have to lurk in the DMs of sluts and whores like Raven and Kassidy who rejected me. Because I have finally found a MAN like you who can make me happy. You invited me in Ahren! You let me in! I’ve said it all along Ahren. I’m a bear. Now we can make this official… IN PUBLIC!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: While I condemn sexual assault, pedophelia, kidnapping, and all the other crimes that we have seen being committed here tonight… I actually agree with what this guy had to say about Raven.
James Peters: Why did they ring the bell? Why is this match being allowed to happen?
Rich Russillo: GRIZZLY BEAR ROCCO GOES IN FOR THE KISS ON AHREN!!!
Ahren Fournier: :whoa: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Ahren Fournier ducks the kiss! He grabs Grizzly Bear Rocco from behind and spins him around… LULLABY CONNECTS!!! AHREN WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Grizzly Bear Rocco has been eliminated! That means that Ahren Fournier has defeated all four of his opponents this evening and has successfully run the gauntlet!!!
(“How You Like That” by BLACKPINK blasts across the speakers as police are shown swarming the ring taking Grizzly Bear Rocco into custody and freeing the kidnapped girl by untying the burlap sack. They begin to take her backstage but upon seeing her favorite wrestler in the ring she runs to Ahren and gives him a hug. Ahren signs his umbrella and gives it to her as a parting gift before climbing the turnbuckle to celebrate his victory.)
Ahren Fournier: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DID IT! THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE FOR AHREN FOURNIER!!!
(Pyro is shown blasting from around the arena as confetti rains down in the ring. Ahren is shown holding Jennipurr high up in the air as if she was a championship title. Ahren holds Jennipurr high up over the turnbuckle in a recreation of the famous scene from the Lion King.)
Persephone: He did it! AHRENMANIA IS RUNNING WILD! I literally didn’t think it could be done James! I mean we finished a Gauntlet Match in record time! I thought we would be here for ages… But Ahren… he is such a nice guy! He won every match so quickly! It honestly brings a tear to my eye that we got this crap done with so fast!
Rich Russillo: Is it really that impressive… I mean these opponents were complete trash!
(Ahren Fournier is shown limping up the stage carrying Jennipurr sweating profusely as if he has just wrestled a 90 Minute Ironman classic. He waves out to the fans and blows kisses to the monitors whispering “I love you” as he makes his way through the curtain.)
James Peters: Well Ahren clearly sees this as the greatest victory of his career. But remember this was a qualifying match… so regardless of if you think his opponents were worthy… Ahren has officially qualified for the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption. We could be looking at the next EAW World Champion!!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring EAW jobbers doing their best Nate Robinson impressions throughout the years.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and in the center of the ring is Bella Braxton ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER PREVIEW MATCH… AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons hits and the Voltage crowd immediately begins to cheer as Terry Chambers walks out to the stage. Knowing how big of a match it is, Terry doesn’t waste any time making his way down the ramp, and you could see just from the look on his face how he feels about this match. This would be a huge victory for him ahead of Road to Redemption, and he clearly isn’t going to let anything stop him from getting that victory.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… Residing in Los Angeles, California… Weighing in at 257 pounds…. TEEEEERRRRRYYYYYYY CCHHAAAAAAAMMMBBBEEEERRRSSS!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes the Barbaric Carnivore, Terry Chambers! Terry’s gonna make a great addition to the Extreme Elimination Chamber come Road to Redemption, but before we even make it there it looks like he’s been given an opportunity to knock off the EAW Champion! A win like this could be exactly what Terry needs heading into the EAW Championship match, and he’s been in fine form recently so who knows? Maybe he can actually win here!
Rich Russillo: Hmmm… I’m not sure. This is going to be a tough match of course, but then again SOSA’s the Champion for a reason. If he can’t defeat Terry Chambers, someone he’ll be defending his title against soon, does he really deserve to be EAW Champion?
Persephone: Regardless of the outcome he doesn’t deserve to be Champion, so I don’t really know why you’re asking. Was that some sort of trick question?
(As Terry stands in his corner, ‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef begins to play and the majority of the crowd begins booing as SOSA Henderson walks out to the stage. SOSA looks the same way he always does. As confident as always, completely sure that he has what it takes to defeat Terry Chambers. Terry doesn’t take his eyes off of SOSA, but SOSA doesn’t even pay much attention to Terry as he makes his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent…. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…. Weighing in at 191 pounds…. HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, SOOOOOOOSSAAAAAAAA HHHEEEEENNNDDDDEERRSSOONNNN!!!!!!
James Peters: Well I’m sure SOSA has no doubts about his chances tonight. Even before Wicked Games when Terry tried to capture contendership for SOSA’s title SOSA made it clear he’d still beat Terry and leave Wicked Games with the Championship. That match didn’t happen as Ahren Fournier would win the contendership match, but now’s SOSA’s chance to really put his money where his mouth is.
Rich Russillo: This could possibly go either way, but SOSA’s done a really good job at backing up his word this season, even when no one believes in him. That’s why he’s the EAW Champion right now, and it could be why he defeats Terry Chambers tonight.
Persephone: Can we please stop talking about what happened at Territorial Invasion? It was a fluke and everyone knows it.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And here we go, Terry Chambers versus the EAW Champion SOSA Henderson ahead of Road to Redemption! Terry immediately goes to lock up with SOSA, and he powers him over to the corner! Terry’s a really big guy, so it only makes sense that he’s able to overpower SOSA like this, but we’re gonna have to see if Terry can remain this dominant throughout the match! WAIT, SOSA JUMPS UP AND USES BOTH FEET TO PUSH TERRY OFF OF HIM! SOSA charges at Terry- AND HE DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE! TERRY TURNING BACK TOWARDS SOSA, AND SOSA HITS TERRY WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!
Rich Russillo: That enzuigiri didn’t take Terry off his feet, but it definitely caused him to stumble! SOSA now grabbing Terry by the arm, AND HE GOES FOR AN IRISH WHIP BUT TERRY’S ABLE TO STAY IN PLACE! TERRY NOW PULLS SOSA INTO A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE, AND THAT MUST HAVE TURNED HIM INSIDE OUT! I don’t think SOSA saw that one coming, but he’s quickly finding his way back to his feet! I’m sure he realizes that he can’t stay down for too long facing someone like Terry, and that right there is showing just how good of a Champion SOSA is!
Persephone: Yeah? Well SOSA’s not gonna be Champion much longer. Not when Rexy’s back! Anyways, Terry’s just grabbed SOSA, and I think he’s looking for a powerbomb or something but SOSA just punched him in the side before he could actually lift him up. SOSA had to repeatedly punch Terry to get out of it since Terry’s fat works like a shield, and now he hit Terry with a step up enzuigiri. SOSA’s running the ropes now that Terry’s been stunned, and he goes for a running hurricanrana- just for Terry to hold him. Terry now just picked SOSA up, and I think he’s about to powerbomb him this time, and hopefully that’s enough to end the match.
James Peters: Well, you’re right that he’s going for a powerbomb- BUT SOSA’S NOT LETTING HIM HIT THE MOVE! SOSA’S PUNCHING AWAY AT TERRY, DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO GET TERRY TO LET HIM GO, BUT TERRY WON’T DO IT! TERRY STILL HAS AHOLD OF SOSA- BUT WAIT! SOSA GOUGING AT TERRY’S EYES AS SOON AS THE REFEREE ISN’T ABLE TO SEE, AND THAT ALLOWS SOSA TO HOP OFF OF TERRY’S SHOULDERS! SOSA RUNNING THE ROPES AS TERRY STUMBLES INTO THE ROPES, AND SOSA SENDS TERRY OUT OF THE RING WITH A HUGE DROPKICK!
Rich Russillo: Terry goes out of the ring, but he manages to land on his feet! Terry attempts to quickly slide back in, BUT SOSA HITS HIM WITH TWO BOOTS TO THE FACE! SOSA QUICKLY RUNNING THE ROPES NOW AS TERRY IS STUNNED, AND TERRY’S HIT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE BY THE EAW CHAMPION! THAT SENT TERRY INTO THE BARRICADE, BUT TERRY’S STILL ON HIS FEET! SOSA’s hopped onto the barricade now before heading up to the top rope, and I honestly have no idea what he could be going for right now! WAIT WAIT WAIT, DIVING MOONSAULT BY SOSA!!
Persephone: What a moron. Terry caught him right out of the sky, and honestly I don’t know what SOSA was expecting to happen. Look at how big Terry is and look at how small SOSA is.
James Peters: SOSA’s stuck on Terry’s shoulder, AND NOW TERRY CHARGES TOWARDS THE RINGPOST- JUST FOR SOSA TO SLIP OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS AND PUSH TERRY FACE FIRST INTO IT! Terry just had his face slammed into the ring post and that dropped him down to a knee! SOSA now grabs Terry, AND THIS TIME HE SENDS TERRY SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND RAMMING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE!
Rich Russillo: SOSA’s doing a great job right now with this offense, and now he sends Terry back into the ring! Somehow after all of that Terry’s still slowly finding his way back to his feet, but SOSA quickly heads up to the top rope! Terry’s finally all the way back up, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER AS SOSA MANAGES TO KNOCK TERRY RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A DIVING DROPKICK! SOSA NOW WITH THE COVER ON TERRY CHAMBERS!
ONE!
James Peters: AND TERRY JUST PUSHES SOSA OFF OF HIM! SOSA nearly was sent all the way back up to his feet from that! Terry’s definitely still in this match even after all that offense he took, so SOSA’s gonna have to find another way to keep him down! Attacking the shoulder was a great idea as it’ll make it far more difficult for Terry to get it up, but it’s too early on in the match for SOSA to put him away, and I think SOSA realizes that as he immediately shifts to a rear chinlock!
Rich Russillo: This isn’t getting the job done on many people- AND I WAS GONNA SAY IT MIGHT AT LEAST SLOW TERRY DOWN BUT IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THAT’S THE CASE HERE! TERRY’S ALREADY GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT NOW SOSA JUMPS ON TERRY’S BACK AND TRANSITIONS TO A SLEEPER HOLD! THIS WAS A GENIUS MOVE BY SOSA! I’M NOT SURE IF THE CHINLOCK WAS GONNA PUT TERRY OUT BUT THIS ACTUALLY HAS A CHANCE TO! THIS COULD DEFINITELY PUT TERRY OUT IF HE DOESN’T FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF IT!
Persephone: Is this supposed to be some type of joke… ‘Cause I don’t see how Terry Chambers would lose this fast unless he REALLY sucks. Don’t get me wrong, I really hope Terry does tap out or go to sleep right now, but I’ve learned not to get my hopes up anymore because all everyone around here does is disappoint me. Except for Rexy of course. I don’t even think this will have an effect on Terry. If anything SOSA will probably just activate Terry’s roid rage and cost himself the match. I don’t know and I don’t really care, I just know Terry’s gonna get out of this somehow.
James Peters: Well I hate to say it but I think you’re completely right, there’s no way this is getting the job done on Terry. Terry is still on his feet right now, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S MANAGED TO GRAB SOSA, BEFORE PULLING HIM OVER TERRY’S OWN HEAD AND DOWN ONTO THE MAT! SOSA’S DOWN, BUT TERRY DOESN’T STOP JUST THERE! TERRY NOW DEADLIFTS SOSA ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, BEFORE DROPPING HIM FACE FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH SNAKE EYES! Terry now grabbing SOSA as soon as he bounces off the turnbuckle, AND SENDS HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: That was an amazing combo by Terry Chambers, but SOSA managed to roll out onto the ring apron to avoid being pinned! SOSA’s being really smart here, a combination like that had to have done a lot of damage! Terry’s not gonna let SOSA recover for very long though, as he immediately heads over towards SOSA and tries to drag him back up and into the ring! Terry has SOSA in position for a suplex, AND NOW HE GOES FOR IT- JUST FOR SOSA TO HIT A KNEE STRIKE TO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! SOSA NOW WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE FRONT OF TERRY’S LEG, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DDT!
Persephone: Okay… Hopefully that gets the job done. SOSA’s going for the cover and I think Terry should just not kick out. Who really needs this match when he’s in the Extreme Elimination Chamber? This match is nothing, he can throw it away.
ONE!
T-
Persephone: Aaand he kicked out. Why did he do that? Terry’s such a meathead it’s crazy. Why waste his energy on a pointless match when he’s guaranteed an EAW Championship match?
James Peters: This match could give a lot of momentum to either Terry or SOSA. That could do wonders for their confidence ahead of Road to Redemption so of course they don’t want to lose that opportunity! SOSA is heading back up to the top rope as he notices Terry is slowly finding his way back up to his feet, and I’m not even sure what he’s looking for right now but somehow Terry’s been able to take everything SOSA’s handed to him! Terry is finally back up to his feet, AND NOW SOSA GOES FOR A DIVING CROSSBODY!!
Rich Russillo: TERRY CAUGHT HIM AGAIN! TERRY MANAGES TO CATCH SOSA, AND NOW HE SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT! TERRY NOW GOING FOR THE COVER FOR HIS FIRST TIME IN THE MATCH, COULD THIS ALREADY BE IT FOR SOSA!?
ONE!
TWO-
Rich Russillo: NO! SOSA GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE TWO! I was wrong to even doubt SOSA, with how far he’s come there’s no way that would’ve finished him off! Even so, he’s not in very great shape right now. He’s really gotta do something because that slam looked painful, and that’s not even the only thing he’s taken so far.
Persephone: Meh. Rexy would’ve kicked out before the count of one. SOSA’s pathetic and clearly not fit to be Champion. I mean, how is he letting Terry Chambers of all people beat him up like this? Thank God Rex returned to save this company and the EAW Championship, because none of those other losers are cut out for the main event scene. Terry’s getting back up to his feet and I think he’s trying to finish the match already which is pretty nice of him, but honestly I don’t have any faith in Terry.
James Peters: Terry sends SOSA into the ropes, AND TERRY WENT FOR THE RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE, BUT SOSA HELD ONTO THE ROPES TO STOP THE KICK FROM HITTING HIM! TERRY EXPECTED SOSA TO BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES INTO THE KICK BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL! SOSA MANAGED TO AVOID WHAT POSSIBLY COULD’VE BEEN THE END OF THE MATCH, AND NOW SOSA DROPS DOWN ONTO TERRY WITH A CROSSFACE! SOSA HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN ON TERRY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD ACTUALLY END THE MATCH! TERRY CHAMBERS IS IN TROUBLE HERE, HE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA CONNECT WITH THE RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE, BUT INSTEAD HE’S TRAPPED IN A CROSSFACE!
Rich Russillo: Terry’s struggling and that’s probably because he didn’t even expect SOSA to avoid his Random Act of Violence! Terry is pulling himself to the ropes, AND THAT CAUSES SOSA TO PULL ON THE SUBMISSION EVEN HARDER THAN BEFORE! SOSA is much smaller than Terry so he has to do everything in his power to make this submission painful! In an event like this I’m not so sure, it might actually get the job done! I really don’t know how Terry is gonna get out of this!
Persephone: See? This is what I’ve been waiting for. Not for SOSA to get the upper hand, but for this match to actually end. It’s a shame Terry is this useless I’m sure he really was hoping to get a big win ahead of Road to Redemption.. But come on. When has Terry Chambers EVER gotten big wins for himself?
James Peters: He’s a former Interwire Champion.
Persephone: That didn’t answer my question,
Rich Russillo: He did just beat Minerva at Wicked Games. :lupe:
Persephone: And? Rexy would’ve beaten her easily, AND without Sienna Jade’s distraction.
James Peters: Alright Persephone.. Anyways Terry Chambers is doing his best to get to a knee, and I don’t know how but I think Terry is gonna find a way to power himself up to his feet with SOSA still in the submission! TERRY IS GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE DROPS SOSA ONTO HIS KNEE!! HUGE BACKBREAKER BY TERRY CHAMBERS, AND THAT JUST SAVED HIMSELF FROM THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION! TERRY NOW GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER ON SOSA AND I DEFINITELY DON’T BLAME HIM, THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE FOR TERRY!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Rich Russillo: IT’S NOT ENOUGH THOUGH!! SOSA managed to get his shoulder up once again, but I can only imagine how difficult that was after taking such a backbreaker! Just look at Terry though! Just seeing the look on his face I’m not sure if he would’ve survived being in that submission much longer. Luckily Terry has a huge size advantage, and he was able to somehow make his way back to his feet while in a crossface! This is Terry’s best chance to get back into the match and he really can’t afford to let that go to waste! Not with an opponent like SOSA!
Persephone: Stop acting like SOSA’s anything special. He’s literally only EAW Champion because Rexy allowed it, but now that he’s back SOSA’s days are numbered. He’s really not that good, but neither is Terry so I guess that explains why this is so even. Terry’s dragging SOSA back to his feet, and I guess he’s setting up for the Chambers of Pain because he has SOSA set up in the double underhook- but SOSA just desperately ran into the turnbuckles, ramming Terry into them. It didn’t drop Terry but it did cause him to let go, allowing the paper Champion to backpedal into the opposite corner.
James Peters: SOSA NOW CHARGES IN, AND HE GOES FOR- MOMENT OF SILENCE! OH MY GOD!! MOMENT OF SILENCE CONNECTS!! SOSA WAS JUST DROPPED WITH THAT HEADBUTT, AND CLEARLY TERRY IS FEELING THE EFFECTS OF IT AS WELL AS HE JUST DROPS DOWN ON TOP OF SOSA! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT, NO WAY SOSA KICKS OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS! THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE END OF THE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
James Peters: NO!! THAT’S NOT IT! SOSA GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! SOMEHOW THE MATCH IS STILL ON, AND TERRY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Rich Russillo: Terry was out of it after hitting that headbutt, he probably wasn’t even conscious enough to pull him further from the ropes and that cost him! Of course, it likely only cost him momentarily as SOSA still looks done! He’s still very unconscious, and now Terry’s pulling him up possibly to put this one away! Terry’s placed the unconscious SOSA up onto the top rope, and this really can’t be good. Whatever he’s going for is definitely gonna put SOSA’s lights out this late in the match after everything he’s been through!
James Peters: Terry’s climbing all the way to the top rope, and it looks like he’s thinking about a superplex! A superplex at that height might actually do some injury to SOSA, which I’d assume is what Terry wants ahead of Road to Redemption! An injured SOSA just means one less competitor to worry about, and possibly a guaranteed new Champion! Terry trying to get SOSA up- BUT SOSA PULLS TERRY’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM! SOSA PULLED OUT TERRY’S LEGS, TERRY’S HUNG UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Persephone: See what I mean!? Terry literally can’t do anything right. All those steroids and all that weight loss and he’s still useless.
Rich Russillo: SOSA is getting in position… HEY WAIT! WAIT WHAT!? TERRY JUST SPRANG UP AND GRABBED SOSA, BEFORE TOSSING HIM BEHIND HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE! WAIT- SOSA JUST LANDED ON HIS FEET!? SOSA CHARGING BACK TOWARDS THE CORNER, AND NOW HE DROPS TERRY OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A BACKSTABBER! So much just happened in the last few seconds it’s hard for me to even keep up, that was amazing! Terry showing an incredible amount of upper body strength getting himself up and launching SOSA off the top, but somehow SOSA landed on his feet and then went on to hit Terry with a backstabber! Amazing!
James Peters: I really have no idea how SOSA did it. I don’t even know how Terry did what he just did! That alone shows you just how much both men want to win this match, and right now even SOSA’s struggling to get back up despite being in control of the match! Terry’s using the ropes to try and pull himself up too, BUT SOSA NOW BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A BURST OF ENERGY- AND HE HITS TERRY IN THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH A HUGE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: That knee strike had to take Terry out! Terry’s hung up on the middle rope, and now SOSA’s headed out onto the apron! He probably has something in mind, and whatever it is can’t be too good for Terry after these last few moments! SOSA CHARGES IN, AND HE GOES FOR ANOTHER RUNNING KNEE- WAIT NO! TERRY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY THIS TIME, AND THAT CAUSED SOSA TO RUN KNEE FIRST RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST AND FALL OFF THE APRON! That had to hurt, SOSA’s in a whole lot of trouble right now!
Persephone: Alright, I’ll give SOSA some credit. If his goal was to be a comedian, then that wasn’t too bad. If he actually thought he was gonna hit that knee… He might have some mental issues that need checking out because anyone with a functioning brain saw that one coming.
James Peters: SOSA’s managed to pull himself back onto the apron, but he’s clearly in pain after that knee into the apron! Terry is slowly pulling himself up, and I think he sees this as a perfect opportunity to strike! Terry’s headed over to SOSA, and once again he’s trying to pull him back up- BUT SOSA HITS TERRY WITH A SHOULDER TO THE MIDSECTION! AS TERRY’S BENT OVER SOSA HOPS OVER HIM, AND HE GOT TERRY IN A SUNSET FLIP PIN!! I THINK SOSA’S ABOUT TO TRY AND STEAL THE MATCH!
Persephone: Oh my God is this finally about to end!?
Rich Russillo: NO, NOT LIKE THIS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Rich Rusillo: HEY WAIT A MINUTE! TERRY JUST PULLED HIMSELF UP AND ONTO SOSA, AND NOW HE HAS SOSA IN HIS OWN PIN! TERRY IS PINNING SOSA!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… TEERRRRRYYYYYYYYY CCCHHAAAAAMMMMBBBEEERRRSSSSS!!!!!!
James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS HAS PINNED THE EAW CHAMPION!! What a win! I’m not even sure what to say after that one! SOSA tried to steal a win with that roll up but Terry managed to turn it around, and thanks to that Terry just picked up a huge victory! It may not be how he wants to do things, but if Terry is able to repeat this at Road to Redemption a new Champion would be guaranteed!
Rich Russillo: Terry’s rolled out of the ring, and I’m wondering how he even feels about all this! He likely would’ve preferred a more decisive win but in the end just look at what he’s accomplished without anyone there to help him! Terry got this on his own and SOSA’s gonna have to live with that going into Road to Redemption.
Persephone: You guys do realize this doesn’t mean anything, right? How is he gonna replicate this in a six man Extreme Elimination Chamber?
James Peters: He might not be able to, but he now knows pinning SOSA is very possible. This is big whether you want to admit it or not, congratulations Terry!
(As ‘Natural’ begins to play, the virtual crowd begins to cheer while Terry Chambers is still outside of the ring. The referee raises Terry’s hand, and Terry nods his head coming to terms with what happened, meanwhile SOSA Henderson is in shock outside of the ring. He can’t believe that he took a loss like this before Road to Redemption. As Terry continues his celebration, Voltage begins to fade from ringside.)
(Commercial for Komatsu Ogawa’s house cleaning services, because others’ are just too unreliable.)
(Voltage returns from its final break of the evening and cuts to a pre-recorded segment. Harlow Reichert is seen walking into frame and sitting down, brushing her dark red hair back off her shoulders. Someone takes a moment to fix a microphone to her shirt, and Miss No Fucks Given crosses her legs and gets comfortable. After a moment, Harlow nods to the person sitting opposite of her off camera, and the same voice from the Specialists segments last week can be heard speaking.)
Narrator: (off-screen) State your name for the record please.
(Harlow keeps her face neutral, but it is clear she finds the question annoying. These sitdown interviews are something she is becoming accustomed to, but that doesn’t mean she has to enjoy them.)
Harlow Reichert: Harlow Reichert.
Narrator: (off-screen) How long have you been wrestling? What have you accomplished thus far?
Harlow Reichert: I signed with EAW in 2018 and last year at Road to Redemption, I won my first championship, the PURE Championship. It was an incredible moment and one I’ll never forget, and perhaps lighting will strike twice for me when it comes to winning championship gold at the calendar year finale.
Narrator: (off-screen) Did you ever envision yourself competing for the biggest company in the world?
(Harlow can’t help but laugh at that question, because her foray into professional wrestling is well documented.)
Harlow Reichert: I mean, I never pictured myself as a professional wrestler, period. This was never the path I envisioned for myself, and while my older brother was involved in the sport, it wasn’t my choice. EAW was never on my radar, but it seems to have worked out for me.
Narrator: (off-screen) What are your thoughts about your current position in EAW?
Harlow Reichert: Meh. I haven’t really been happy since losing the PURE Championship last season. I really think Showdown let me down, and Pain for Pride was the final nail in last season’s coffin. Xav is my mentor, and while I respect him, he will likely never show his face here in EAW again and that makes my defeat at Pain for Pride sting that much more. There was no point for Ryan Wilson to force our hands like that, and in doing so, he wrecked a relationship, forced me to second guess whether or not I even wanted to be here, and since then I’ve been floating around in limbo, with no real direction. Facing Serena at House of Glass was great, but it was another big match loss, and it just seems like I’m falling back into old habits. It’s frustrating but apparently ups and downs are a part of the business.
(There is no denying there’s a bit of bitterness in Harlow’s voice, especially when she was addressing Xavier. Deep down, Harlow fully believes she should have won at Pain for Pride and it’s pretty obvious her ego is still somewhat bruised.)
Narrator: (off-screen) What does competing in the Specialists Chamber mean to you?
Harlow Reichert: Well, I’m not going to act like this is a match I’m jumping up and down for. Being locked inside of a chamber is not exactly my idea of a good time, but I appreciate the chance to win a championship. At this point, I’m going to take whatever opportunity I can get my hands on, and I’m going to make the absolute most out of it. I need SOMETHING. I need to get my career back on track. It’s pathetic I can’t even enjoy a hard fought victory like the one I had over at Andrea at Reasonable Doubt because she’s apparently going through an identity crisis. It’s annoying. I’m looking forward to this match being what turns things around for me, and then I’m going to head into 2021 right back at the top of my game.
Narrator: (off-screen) Who’s your biggest competition in this match? Why?
Harlow Reichert: I don’t look at any of the competitors in the Specialists Chamber as actual competition for me. I’ll never not see myself as the best technical wrestler in the world. However, this is not a technical wrestling match and I know that, which is why the situation itself is going to be my biggest adversary. The chamber, the weapons, and the fact you need to have eyes in the back of your head. It’s a daunting situation for most competitors, whether they want to admit it or not, and that fact isn’t lost on me. I’m just looking to make the most out of a bad situation, and luckily I have a good record in multi-person matches and experience in dangerous match situations.
Narrator: (off-screen) How would you elevate the belt?
(A thoughtful look crosses Harlow’s face, and she thinks on that for a moment. As evidenced by her PURE Championship reign, being a title holder means a lot to her.)
Harlow Reichert: I would take the same approach to the Specialists Championship, that I did with the PURE Championship, and that is defend it every chance I get. If you’re good enough to win a title here in EAW, then you need to continue proving your worth in my opinion. If I leave no other legacy in this business, then I want to go down with the reputation of being a fighting champion. I proved that by defending the PURE Championship every week and then in a gauntlet, despite the fact it stacked all odds against me. I would do the same thing with the Specialists Championship, and it would become the most sought after belt in the women’s division. I don’t shy away from competition, and I want to make sure that whatever division I’m the face of is the most competitive division in all of EAW.
Narrator: (off-screen) Anything you want to say to your fellow chamber participants?
(A little smile crosses Harlow’s face and she shrugs her shoulders.)
Harlow Reichert: I’ll do my talking during the build up to Road to Redemption, but one thing I will say is this. Actions speak louder than words, and other than Kasey herself, I’m the only other person in the match who can say that they have been a champion in EAW. I have the experience, the pedigree, and everything else needed to walk into a chamber and walk out a winner. Don’t sleep on Miss No Fucks Given, because if you do, it’s going to be the biggest mistake you could ever make.
Narrator: (off-screen) Thank you for your time.
(Harlow merely nods and gets up, exiting the picture. The scene fades to black.)
(Voltage returns to ringside where Bella is standing by, ready for the main event of the evening!)
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi plays through the World 1 Theatre as the crowd gives a negative reception as the National Elite Champion, Myles walks out, slugging the National Elite Championship with him.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A CHAMPION VERSUS CHAMPION MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULE FOR ONE FALL —
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA…WEIGHING IN 227 POUNDS… HE IS THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… ‘THE MANIFEST’ … MYLES!!!!!!!
James Peters: This will be our main event match tonight as we’ll see the National Elite Champion take on the Specialists Champion! Myles versus Kasey Kaos! It seems quite appropriate that these two will face off after Myles stuck his nose into Kasey’s match with his opponent at Road to Redemption, Jesse Barlow.
Rich Russillo: When Kasey Kaos does a cut throat gesture, you know that someone is going to die. It makes sense that these two face off and settle whatever tension is there. Myles knows that Jesse Barlow is going to be watching this match, so might as well send a message to Jesse.
Persephone: Honestly, I just wanna know the tea between the Adriana chick and Myles? That’s probably one of the few things that is making me give a shit about this match!
James Peters: It should be a wonderful match, but let’s not focus on that small immature stuff.
(‘Enemy Strike’ fades as it’s replaced by ‘Cry Little Sister’ by Marilyn Manson blasts through the speakers. Kasey Kaos walks out with the Specialists Championship on her waist. She has a death glare directly at Myles, who is already in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE…SHE IS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… ‘MISS MAYHEM’…KASEY KAOS!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kasey Kaos will be defending the Specialists Championship in the Specialists Chamber at Road to Redemption against some of the brightest talents in the women’s division! For someone who is as new as her and having a first title defense like this, it’s huge, but will she be able to leave with her reign still intact? That’s something that I’m wondering about myself?
Persephone: Veena Adams should still be Specialists Champion, but no one is ready for that conversation.
James Peters: That shouldn’t be a conversation. Kasey won her match against Jesse Barlow in a way that she didn’t want to win that match. It’s because of Myles that Kasey won the match via distraction, so she could be looking at this match as a way to prove that she can defeat anyone, even the National Elite Champion!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Straight away, it seems like Kasey Kaos is going for a test of strength as Myles seems to accept it, but sike! KASEY NAILS MYLES WITH A KICK, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO CATCH KASEY’S FOOT BEFORE IT MANAGES TO KICK HIM IN THE RIBS! KASEY IS PLEADING FOR MYLES TO RELEASE HER LEG, AS MYLES HAS A CASUAL SMILE ON HIS FACE BEFORE PUSHING KASEY’S FOOT AROUND, MAKING THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION FALL TO HER SIDE, BUT SHE MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO NAIL HER WITH AN ELBOW SHOT TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! This stumbles Kasey towards the ropes as Myles manages to push her onto the ropes and rolls her up quickly!
ONE!!!!!
Persephone: This match has gone long enough and it seems like it will be going longer as Kasey manages to get out of the roll up attempt! Kasey recollects herself to her feet, but Myles manages to come at her with a clothesline, BUT KASEY MANAGES TO GET MYLES IN A CRUCIFIX POSITION! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING FOR A ROLL UP, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO LIFT HER BODY UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! BUT, KASEY MANAGES TO ELBOW MYLES IN THE FACE UNTIL HE LETS HER DOWN! Myles turns himself around as Kasey spins herself around before nailing Myles with a kick to his stomach! The kick was enough to make him bend forward in response as Kasey manages to take him back with a punch! Kasey punches Myles until he leans back against the ropes!
James Peters: Kasey Kaos manages to jump herself on Myles, connecting with a monkey flip! The National Elite Champion flips to a seated position in response as Kasey manages to nail him on his back with a dropkick! Kasey quickly goes for the cover, but Myles is quicker to shove her away from him! Myles slowly works his way up to his feet, but Kasey launches himself towards him and connects with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO USE SOME OF HER MOMENTUM AGAINST HER BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A BACKBREAKER! Kasey clutches to her lower back, as she manages to get herself to her feet! Myles manages to sweep underneath her feet, taking her down to her back!
Rich Russillo: Myles begins to unload on some strikes to the face of Kasey Kaos! He’s not giving the woman any chances to block these shots! Myles is way too damn fast for her! Hell, I may say that he’s even faster than her! It must be why Minerva likes him so much! :mjlit:
Persephone: Envisioning them having sex is the LAST thing that I want to be envisioning right now.
James Peters: Myles hoists Kasey Kaos up in the air before shoving her to the corner! Myles begins to shoulder thrust Kasey in the ribs before standing himself up and hitting her with a side hand chop so loud that the virtual crowd had to take off their headsets for a second! But, Kasey manages to nail him with a slap to the chest! Myles seems to be a little taken back that the force of Kasey’s chest slap was as hard as it was, BUT HE IS MORE THAN WELCOMING THAT CHALLENGE! HE HITS HER WITH ANOTHER SIDE HAND CHOP, BUT KASEY MANAGES TO SLAP HIS CHEST AGAIN! MYLES WITH ANOTHER SIDE HAND CHOP! KASEY WITH ANOTHER SLAP TO HIS CHEST! THESE TWO ELITISTS’ HITS ARE GETTING HARDER WITH EACH CHOP AND SLAP THEY GIVE EACH OTHER! NOT ONE OF THEM IS WILLING TO STOP! BOTH OF THEM WANT TO SHOW THE OTHER THAT THEY’RE MORE THAN READY FOR THE FIGHT THAT THE TWO OF THEM WILL GIVE EACH OTHER!
Rich Russillo: Myles manages to take Kasey Kaos down with a knee strike to her face! Kasey falls to a seated position at the corner, but Myles grabs Kasey by her hand before pulling her back to her feet — PULL THROUGH THE CLOTHESLINE AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION GOES FLIPPING AROUND BEFORE FALLING TO HER BACK! MYLES MANAGES TO PUT HIS FOOT ONTO THE CHEST OF KASEY AS HE DEMANDS FOR THE REFEREE TO COUNT!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Myles manages to pick Kasey Kaos up by her hair! It seems like he’s not ready to end this match anytime soon! I think I may hate him more than I did just a couple of moments ago! Myles has a hold of Kasey’s hair before hoisting her up and slamming her against the mat! Kasey is holding the back of her head as Myles manages to pick her up again! He lifts her up for a vertical suplex before connecting with the move! With Kasey taken down again, Myles connects with a few stiff punches to her face before using his hands and pulling her nose back, but the referee manages to separate Myles from Kasey before he’s able to inflict anymore damage!
James Peters: Kasey Kaos is using the time to try to get herself to an all fours position! The referee is through with lecturing Myles as he continues to inflict some punishment onto the Specialists Champion! Myles rushes towards her before connecting with a switchblade kick that takes ‘Miss Mayhem’ down once again! Myles gets Kasey by her legs and it seems like he’s going to apply a sharpshooter. Myles calls this ‘Down Under’ as Kasey knows that the minute that Myles manages to lock in this move, it could mean trouble for her! Kasey is trying to twist and turn her way out of the move, but Myles manages to keep her still before stomping on her stomach!
Rich Russillo: Myles manages to connect a double leg drop right between Kasey Kaos’ legs! If she were a man, I think that she would be feeling that, but it does help her stop moving! Myles manages to turn Kasey to her stomach as he fully applies Down Under on her! THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AT THE MOMENT! SHE IS TRYING TO CLAW HERSELF CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM ROPE, BUT MYLES IS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT KASEY DOESN’T MOVE A MUSCLE! AS MUCH AS MYLES WOULD LOVE FOR THIS MATCH TO END, I DON’T SEE KASEY SUBMITTING AND THROWING IN THE TOWEL RIGHT HERE! SHE HAS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMBER PARTICIPANTS LOOKING AT THIS MATCH! THEY WANNA SEE HOW SHE OPERATES WHEN GOING UP AGAINST STRONG COMPETITORS SUCH AS MYLES!
Persephone: Kasey is really trying not to show the pain in her eyes. She has established that people cope with pain in their own ways and it seems like Kasey has her own way of coping with the pain! Instead of letting that pain stop her, it seems like Kasey is really trying to drag her body towards the bottom rope! But, it seems like Myles is a bit heavy as he’s sitting on her lower back! But, Kasey is trying not to let the weight of Myles hold her back! She knows that she needs to get to that bottom rope! My advice would be to submit and live to fight another day, but these Voltage Elitists always never want to go down without some sort of fight!
James Peters: One of the beauties of this brand, Persephone.
Rich Russillo: Persephone’s another one of those beauties.
Persephone: No, just no. Kasey is really trying to claw herself to the bottom rope! Myles seems to be losing his grip on the sharpshooter as Kasey is showing to have a bit of success with getting closer and closer to the bottom rope as she manages to clutch onto it! Myles needs to release the hold!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, MYLES! SHE HAS HER HAND ON THE ROPE!
James Peters: Myles really doesn’t like being told what to do in matches as he manages to release the sharpshooter before turning his focus on the referee! You can see the intense look on the National Elite Champion as the referee backs away, telling Myles to continue on with the match and for him to try to follow the rules!
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, you have Kasey Kaos rolling herself out of the ring as she finds some refuge on the apron! With being in the sharpshooter for as long as she has, she may have lost some feeling within her legs, but she just needs the blood to circulate back to her legs, which could take some time! You have Myles who hopes over the top rope and stands on the apron with Kasey laying down! Myles seems like he’s stalking Kasey up to a seated position before he charges towards her and nails her with a meteora! Kasey is taken to her back once again as Myles manages to get to his feet! He gets a good grasp of Kasey’s hair, assisting the Specialists Champion back to her feet before getting her in a powerbomb position! What in the hell does Myles have in store? :lupe:
Persephone: MYLES HAS KASEY UP IN THE AIR? IS HE PLANNING TO THROW HER ACROSS THE APRON?!?!?! :damn: :damn: :damn:
James Peters: I think that Myles is going for a crucifix powerbomb as he’s more than planning to throw Kasey Kaos across the apron! If Myles manages to connect with this move, Kasey’s chances of winning the match are zero at this point! Myles has looked amazing and brutal!
Rich Russillo: Kasey Kaos manages to drop herself out of Myles’ grasp! MYLES TURNS AROUND AS KASEY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK OUT OF NOWHERE! MYLES STUMBLES BACK AS HE CRASHES HEAD FIRST ON THE RING POST! :damn: :damn: :damn: The Specialists Champion has created her opening in this match and now, she can’t let it slip out of her grasp! She needs to keep this momentum going for herself! Myles ends up falling outside of the ring! It seems like he may be out of it at the moment! He’s holding the back of his head as he’s stumbling up to his feet! But, Kasey has her eyes on the National Elite Champion as she —
Rich Russillo: FALL FROM PARADISE BY KASEY KAOS! THE DIVING HURRICANRANA TO MYLES AT RINGSIDE! MYLES IS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AS KASEY MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF TO HER FEET! MYLES SEEMS TO BE A BIT DIZZY, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP HIM FROM RECOLLECTING HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS KASEY BOLTS RIGHT TOWARDS HIM WITH A SLINGBLADE! Myles is taken down once again as Kasey delivers a loud battlecry! This is one of the first times in this match where the Specialists Champion has come alive! It’s been all Myles for a good chunk of this match so far, so Kasey is looking to turn this match around for herself! Kasey gets Myles up to his feet before irish whipping him towards the steel steps! Kasey rushes towards him before connecting with a meteora as the back of Myles’ skull collides with the steel steps!
Persephone: Kasey rolls herself to the ring after hearing the sound of the referee starting his count. That stops his count briefly as Kasey rolls herself to the ring! Kasey gets Myles by his head before bashing him head first against the hard part of the apron! This staggers the National Elite Champion back as Kasey manages to follow that up with her own version of the shining wizard! Kasey calls that Cherry Bomb! Kasey manages to roll Myles back inside the ring before she gets on top of the apron! Myles is trying to get himself to his feet, but he seems quite out! He turns around to the corner that Kasey has been situation herself on as the Specialists Champion flies from the top rope!
James Peters: FLYING CROSSBODY BY KASEY KAOS ONTO MYLES CONNECTS! KASEY IS IN PERFECT POSITION FOR THE COVER AS THE REFEREE BEGINS HIS COUNT!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Myles manages to get a shoulder up! Kasey Kaos manages to get a hold of Myles’ left arm as she manages to apply a standing armbar in ‘The Manifest!’ Myles finds himself in a bit of trouble at the moment as Kasey transitions the standing armbar to a standard armbar, trapping Myles where he is at the moment! Kasey is pulling back on the left arm of Myles, who is trying to drag his body to the bottom rope! It seems like he’s trying to at least get his foot on the bottom rope to break the count, but Kasey is trying to make sure that Myles completely stays where he is at the moment!
Persephone: Myles manages to get one of his feet at the bottom rope! Not at the bottom rope that Kasey believed that he was going towards, but the other one! It doesn’t matter though as Kasey has no choice, but to release the hold!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
James Peters: The Specialists Champion seemed to be a bit obedient with releasing the hold! Kasey manages to distance herself from Myles, giving him a small amount of time for him to get to his feet! Kasey rushes towards him with a dropkick as that sends him back towards the horizontal set of ropes! Kasey gets a good grasp of Myles arms before irish whipping him off those set of ropes, but Myles manages to stop himself mid way and it’s Kasey that rebounds herself those other set of ropes, but she manages to get a hold of Myles arm before connecting with a armdrag takedown!
Rich Russillo: Myles is seen clutching onto the arm of his, but Kasey Kaos manages to rush towards him before nailing him with another dropkick! This dropkick takes him to his back as Kasey follows that up with a sharp elbow drop to the chest of the National Elite Champion! Now, Kasey begins to unload with a series of elbows to the chest of Myles! She is going quite chaotic with those elbow shots as she manages to stop herself! It seems like Kasey kind of got herself carried away with those elbow shots!
Persephone: Kasey is standing behind Myles as she manages to get him by his arms! She has one of her feet placed against his skull as she caves him face first against the mat! Myles is down again as Kasey rolls him for the cover! Can we end this match here, please?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTT–
James Peters: Myles manages to get a shoulder up! Kasey Kaos is looking a bit annoyed at the moment, but she’s trying not to let her emotions get the best of her! Perhaps, it just gives her more of an idea of how brutal she needs to be to put Myles down! Kasey gets Myles up to his feet with a good hold of his head, she turns him around before connecting with a snap neckbreaker! Myles lands on his neck as Kasey manages to apply a headlock on Myles! It seems like Kasey is going to do what she can to ground Myles! If she manages to weaken him, she may continue to shift this match to her favor!
Rich Russillo: Kasey Kaos maintains the headlock as she manages to get on one knee! Myles is trying to push Kasey off of him, but Kasey is not giving him the chance to do that! She manages to connect with a standing elbow drop on the back of Myles’ neck as that takes him to an all fours position! Kasey manages to get herself to her feet before connecting with another standing elbow drop as that plops Myles flat on the mat! Kasey manages to get Myles up by his head before throwing him head first against the turnbuckle! Myles manages to turn himself around as he falls into a seated position! THIS PROVIDES KASEY WITH AN OPENING TO CONNECT WITH SOME MUDHOLE STOMPS TO THE RIBS AND FACE OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! KASEY MANAGES TO PRESS HER BOOT ONTO THE FACE OF MYLES AS THE REFEREE SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING TO BEGIN HIS COUNT THERE!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HIM, KASEY!
Persephone: Kasey glares at the referee, which causes him to distance herself from him, but he is still trying to maintain some order in this match! Kasey manages to take a step back as she has her sights on Myles! Kasey charges towards him and nails him with a hesitation dropkick in the face! Kasey manages to pull Myles by his feet and pulls him away from the ropes! Now, we see the Specialists Champion going to the top rope! It seems like she’s more than ready to end this match and I could not be anymore happier! She smacks her elbow as she has her eyes on Myles who has not moved an itch! Kasey from the top rope —
James Peters: ELBOW DROP BY KASEY KAOS!!!!!! IT NAILS DIRECTLY IN THE HEART OF MYLES!!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR–
Rich Russillo: MYLES KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!!!! Kasey Kaos looks at Myles in complete disbelief at the moment! It’s unclear on how he managed to gain enough energy to kick out, but the National Elite Champion is refusing to give up! By the demanded look on Kasey’s face, it seems like she is more than looking to wrap up this match as she manages to get Myles up — KAOS REIGNS! KASEY IS LOCKING IN THE TAZMISSION, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO DROP DOWN BEFORE KASEY COULD GET A GOOD ENOUGH GRIP ON THE SUBMISSION HOLD! KASEY MANAGES TO GET MYLES UP, BUT MYLES ENDS UP CONNECTING WITH AN OVERHEAD KICK! THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION STAGGERS BACK AS MYLES MANAGES TO GET TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTS WITH A PELE KICK TO KASEY AS THAT STAGGERS HER BACK AGAIN!
Persephone: Myles was able to catch Kasey off guard with that overhead kick! It seemed like he was more than waiting for his chance to strike and take back control of this match! Myles gets to his feet, but Kasey manages to charge forward, looking to drop him with a clothesline, but Myles manages to take her down with a jumping knee strike! ‘Miss Mayhem’ falls to her knees, but she’s not taken out just yet! Myles manages to get Kasey by her wrist before connecting with pull through lariat! Just like earlier in this match up, she flips around like a top, but Myles manages to pick her up once again! It seems like he’s going to pick her up before connecting with the Wrath of Pandora, a Canadian rack into a DDT! It’s an interesting combination and enough to end this match! Not trying to hint anything though!
James Peters: WRATH OF PANDORA CONNECTS AS MYLES RACES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO WIN THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF?!?!?
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: KASEY KAOS HAS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE REFEREE IS CALLING OFF THE COUNT!!! It seems like Myles is beginning to laugh! I think that he enjoys the fact that Kasey managed to get her foot on the bottom rope! It gives him more time to inflict as much pain as he possibly can on the Specialists Champion! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE MYLES IS GOING TO GO FOR A SUBMISSION MOVE THAT HE DOESN’T GO FOR MUCH OFTEN! NOT AT LEAST TO WHAT I AM AWARE OF! MYLES CALLS THIS ‘CHECKMAYT’ AND HE WAS VERY STRICT ON ME TO MAKE SURE THAT I SAW THAT WITH AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT! I TRIED TO AUSTRALIAN ACCENT AND THEN TOLD ME, I SOUNDED LIKE I WAS MOCKING HIM! BUT, IF YOU’RE ABLE TOO, USE IT WITH AN ACCENT PLEASE!
Persephone: Yeah, I’m not going to do that and if I do attempt one, it would be because I am mocking him! But, it seems like he’s trying to apply Checkmayt on the Specialists Champion, but Kasey is being very difficult right now and trying to scramble out of the clutches of Myles! MYLES IS TRYING TO BASH HER SKULL WITH A SERIES OF ELBOWS, TRYING TO GET HER TO STOP MOVING! THIS ALLOWS HIM TO APPLY THAT RINGS OF SATURN AS KASEY IS SCREAMING OUT OF HER MIND! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S QUITE CONFLICTED ON WHAT SHE SHOULD BE DOING AT THE MOMENT! SHE’S AWARE THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING HER! IF PEOPLE SEE HER LOSE TONIGHT, THEN, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD LOOK FOR HER!
James Peters: I don’t see Kasey Kaos tapping out here! Her best bet is to either counter this or try to get a hand or foot on the bottom rope, but she seems to be in some trouble at the moment! The referee is asking Kasey if she wants to submit, but Kasey is shaking her head no! She is not planning to quit! She’s not planning to throw in the towel at this point in the match!
???: Hey, Myles! Myles! Myles! Oi! Oi! Oi!
(Hannah Marin says all of that in a mocking tone as the camera shows her and Jesse Barlow on the stage. Hannah is waiting for Myles’ attention to be on her! Myles manages to let go of the submission hold, providing Hannah and Jesse with their undivided attention.)
Hannah Marin: Were you looking for *holds up Myles’ cell phone that he was looking for earlier tonight* this?
(This peaks Myles’ attention as it was clear that he was looking for his cell phone earlier tonight, but never managed to find it. Myles rolls out of the ring and marches towards Hannah and Jesse.)
Hannah Marin: Wait, Myles; before you plan to do anything that you regret, we wanted to show you this.
(With a snap of Jesse Barlow’s fingers, a large poster drops from the ceiling, unrolling itself as it’s revealed to be one of the nude photos of Minerva that was on Myles’ phone. Happily, the photo is censored, but Myles cannot help, but be in complete shock at the moment. That’s a picture of his girlfriend that she trusted him with and Jesse and Hannah did not hesitate to expose it for the world to see. Even though Minerva can defend herself, he cannot help, but envision every awful thing that he wants to do to Jesse Barlow and even Hannah Marin.)
Rich Russillo: WHILE MYLES WAS LOOKING AT THAT PIECE OF FAP MATERIAL, JESSE BARLOW BLASTS HIS SKULL WITH THE MICROPHONE!!!!!
(Jesse Barlow is satisfied with his cheapshot at Myles as Hannah Marin pats him on the back. Meanwhile, as we head towards the ring, Kasey Kaos is trying to go to the referee about what is going on with this match, but –)
Persephone: ALEXIS CHAMBERS STRIKES KASEY KAOS FROM BEHIND!!!! LISA WREN JOINS IN ON THE FRAY AS SHE MANAGES TO DELIVER A COUPLE OF GOOD STOMPS TO THE RIBS OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!!
James Peters: And, it seems like Candice Blair is rolling herself in the ring! It seems like she is going to join in on all the fun! CANDICE MANAGES TO TAKE KASEY KAOS DOWN WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK AS ALEXIS CHAMBERS FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A FOH — SHINING WIZARD TAKES DOWN KASEY! TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING, LISA WREN CONNECTS WITH A CACTUS CLOTHESLINE AS SHE MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: Candice Blair manages to pick up Kasey Kaos! These two have had their issues over the past few weeks! Candice manages to get Kasey in a powerbomb position! I think that she may be going for the Candy Destroyer, but Kasey saw what Candice was able to do and threw her over her! Candice drops to her back as Lisa Wren manages to plant Kasey with a bulldog, but Kasey manages to move herself out of the way as she connects with a spin kick as she takes down Lisa! Alexis Chambers goes down! Candice runs towards Kasey with a knee strike, BUT KASEY MANAGES TO PICK UP CANDICE BEFORE GOING FOR A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! LISA GOES RIGHT AFTER KASEY, BUT KASEY MANAGES TO TAKE HER WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! KASEY TURNS AROUND —
Persephone: LIGHTS OUT FOR KASEY KAOS!!!! Alexis Chambers connects with a superkick as she manages to take down Kasey! The two other Specialists Chamber competitors are down for the count as Alexis Chambers is the only woman standing inside the ring!
James Peters: Alexis Chambers has some momentum on her side, but will it get her the Specialists Championship?
Persephone: God, I hope now. She’d be annoying as a champion.
(As Alexis Chambers stands tall over her competition, Voltage fades out for the final time.)
