Voltage 9/20/2020

(EAW intro plays.)

(As always, a highlight video of last week’s episode of Voltage plays. Donovan Duke, Maxwell, TLA, Kasey Kaos, Ms. Extreme, the unlikely team of Rex McAllister and SOSA Henderson, and the Voltage War Games team of Malcolm Jones, Darcy May Morgan, and Drake King all picked up victories. Some other highlights include the EAW World Championship match getting changed into a streetfight at SOSA’s request, Kasey blinding Ms. Extreme with a fireball, Azarael coming to the aid of Donovan Duke and forming an unlikely team to battle Parental Advisory at Territorial Invasion, and the Voltage Brand Warfare team getting attacked on the set of Kensingten Calhoun-Astor’s new cooking show by Team Dynasty! It was a wild episode to say the least :wow:)

(The camera cuts to the inside of the socially distanced Performance Center in Newark, New Jersey. “33rd Blakk Glass” by Sosmula & Zillakami is pumping through the speakers as the camera takes a shot of the small crowd. It’s vintage Voltage as gold and white pyro explode from the stage because that is not a fire code violation, and when the smoke clears, the shot fades down to the broadcast booth. James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone are standing by with smiles across their faces.)

James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting edition of Sunday Night Voltage!

Rich Russillo: :blessed: :drakelike: We have an incredible show for you tonight! Territorial Invasion is less than a week away and tensions have never higher! War Games is a completely different match now with the addition of the Universal Women’s Champion, Serena Bennett, and Brand Warfare continues to set itself apart as the must see match next weekend with all the interconnecting stories and personal rivalries amongst the participants.

Persephone: :nah: The only match worth watching come next weekend is the EAW World Championship match! My man, Sexy Rexy, is going to be defending his belt against an actual trash can, and I can’t wait to continue living in a world where Rex is the face of professional wrestling :ciampa:!!!

(“This Is Your Life” by The Dust Brothers featuring Tyler Durden begins to play.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome ‘The Last Messiah’ DRAKE KING!!!

(As Drake steps on stage, clad in his silk white and gold robes, the crowd showers him with a mixed reaction. Since returning to EAW back at Bloodsport, Drake King has been one of the most polarizing figures in the entire company. No one truly knows how to take him because the vast majority of the EAW Universe aren’t really sure that an EAW molded to Drake’s own vision is what’s best for the company :wow:)

(Once Drake steps into the ring, he takes microphone and flashes his brilliant smile to the crowd.)

Drake King: It has certainly been an entertaining weekend. I went on an excursion so to speak, showing up to two of my former homes in Dynasty and Showdown respectively. Needless to say neither place seemed receptive to my appearance. In another life, I would have been bothered by this, but since becoming reborn as ‘The Last Messiah’, I have found a new purpose. I know what my goal is and that’s to help shape EAW into a place we can all be proud of. I know what needs to happen in order for us to get the future we deserve and I was reminded this weekend of just how important this mission is. It’s so important to remind ourselves of the past because it allows us to remember the mistakes we have made and the lessons we have learned. I know that my past transgressions cast me in the most unfavorable light, but everything I experienced on Showdown and on Dynasty needed to happen in order for me to be the savior each of you need me to be. More than ever, EAW needs Drake King to lift it up! This company is littered with egos that need to be abolished and with sinners who need to be forced to repent. I know that I’m about to spend an entire week being reminded by Impact that I’ve never been able to solve the puzzle he presents and that’s okay. I understand that Impact must draw on these past matches in order to continue spinning his narratives. What else can he really say other than he doesn’t like me? I don’t fault him for that just like I don’t fault Mr. DEDEDE for firing Sarah Price and replacing her with a foul-mouthed woman who likely thinks she’s going to be able to intimidate me. Team Dynasty is definitely the most unlikeable trio in wrestling today; sinners, traitors, and hypocrites who deserve to rot in the ninth circle of Hell. DEDEDE, Impact, and Serena… all just as deceitful and vile as Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. All three deserve to spend eternity in the mouth of Lucifer as he weeps from his six eyes stuck in his icy prison for all eternity.

(Drake shakes his head in utter disgust at the mention of the Dynasty trio.)

(As he continues to cut his promo, the camera switches backstage where Darcy May Morgan and Malcolm Jones are watching on a monitor.)

Darcy May Morgan: I’m guessing he read Dante’s Inferno in high school.

Malcolm Jones: Shiiiiit at this point, dude probably believes he’s been through all nine circles of Hell. He’s on some shit but ya know what? Imma just leave him be. Because as much of a fucking weirdo as he is, he seems committed to getting the job done for whatever bullshit reason he’s conjured up in his head.

Darcy May Morgan: :wow: You’re right.

Malcolm Jones: :mjgrin: Just remember, you picked him to partner with for the Grand Prix.

Darcy May Morgan: Well, he kind of picked me but at this point, why not? We win War Games and then Drake and I go on to win the Grand Prix, and pretty soon The Leading Lady is a double champion here in EAW.

Malcolm Jones: You’re not the only person standing here that’s entered into the Grand Prix.

Darcy May Morgan: :mjgrin:

(Before Darcy can reply, she is blindsided! Justin Windgate blasts her in the back of the head and begins beating her down! Malcolm goes to jump in, but he is tackled from behind by Jack Ripley and Xavier Williams! The three put their boots to Malcolm and Darcy!)

(The scene cuts back to the ring where Drake is still preaching.)

Drake King: It’s just pure greed on the part of Xavier Williams to want to return after all this time. His ego is being bolstered by a meaningless string of wins that are taking him where? Where is he going? While I appreciate Xavier’s humble approach towards his return to EAW and his want and need to work his way back up, what purpose is this serving? Xavier has accomplished nearly everything an Elitist can accomplish in EAW. To need more is greedy. To want more is nothing more than lust rearing it’s unnecessary and ugly head. I just simply do n-

(The videotron cuts on, disrupting Drake.)

Drake King: O.

(Team Showdown has taken down Darcy and Malcolm and show no signs of stopping.)

Drake King: BROTHER! SISTER! I’m on my way!!!

(Drake drops his microphone and sprints from the ring! The cameraman runs after him and the second Drake rounds the corner, he is ambushed! Jack and Justin greet him with a double clothesline and he has the boots put to him! Xavier comes up, and Jack and Justin jerk Drake up by the hair and hold him. The Hall of Famer forces Drake to eat a superkick!)

(They let Drake drop and Team Showdown stand tall, proud of their work. They are being billed as the underdogs in this match and they know that tonight is their chance to make a statement. Xavier claps Justin on the back and nods his head.)

Xavier Williams: Time to focus on getting that win.

(Justin nods back and all three members of Team Showdown exit the scene.)

(Voltage fades to a commercial for Ryan Wilson’s general manager campaign which is quickly disrupted by the Voltage roster as he’s in one of the enemy brands.)

(‘Hell on Heels’ by Pistol Annies is getting louder and louder as Kensingten Calhoun-Astor walks to the ring. The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling walk with an attire full of style. She is acting real classy. As she is seen walking, the ring announcer started the ring introductions.)

Bella Braxton: This following singles match is scheduled for ONE FALL! Making her way to the ring, from Savannah, Georgia. Weighing in at 143 pounds, KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR!!!!!

James Peters: Known to be beautiful but deadly, The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling is here and she is ready to kick some ass!

Persephone: This is going to be so boring.

Rich Russillo: Kensingten Calhoun-Astor needs to put a great performance this week as the FPV is just around the corner!

James Peters: Now, speaking about putting on a great performance, her opponent might do just that.

(As Kensingten Calhoun-Astor is seen preparing herself, ‘No Sleep Leak’ Instrumental By Lil Uzi Vert starts playing as Puma X walks through the entrance ramp with a serious look on his face because last week he unfortunately lost to Donovan Duke . The announcer, Bella Braxton is ready to continue the introductions as Puma X is seen walking to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: And her opponent, from Oakland, California, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is THE SKILL OF X…. PUMA X!!!!

Persephone: This man again. Yep, this match will be boring.

Rich Russillo: You are being a little too negative on this match, Persephone. Calm down. Puma X is here to prove that he still can win.

James Peters: He failed to win in his debut match and he got defeated by Korey Gaines. Doesn’t look like a good debut if you asked me. Now, he’s put against Kensingten Calhoun-Astor. After 2 losses in a row, he still believes in himself. That’s good.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: The bell rings and the match st- Oh, Kensingten Calhoun-Astor, quick with that Dropkick sending Puma X to the corner. She quickly ran to him and did a Corner Dropkick! As he is almost down, she is spamming the elbows as she doesn’t look like she is in a good mood. Last week’s loss against Maxwell probably pissed her off. A quick throw from Kensingten sending Puma flying to the middle of the ring! However, Puma rolled and now, he is on one knee but KENSINGTEN WITH THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK SENDING HIM DOWN AGAIN!

James Peters: Kensingten is just having an easy match right now, this is surprising! She went with a normal headlock to Puma as she still looks like she wants to play with him. Puma pushed her to the ropes, she went with a clothesline, Puma ducked and she went to the other sides of the ropes, but she hung there while Puma dropkicks the air! This doesn’t look good for Puma X as he is seen grabbing his back for now. He still managed to get up by himself which is pretty impressive.

Persephone: She only hit 3 moves and he gets up?! Wow, is that what you all call amazing? Give me a break.

Rich Russillo: As Puma X is up again, he tried to run to Kensingten but she went out of the way fast and destroyed Puma with a German Suplex! Puma X is rolling over and now he’s back to the turnbuckle again. Kensingten quick with that Stinger Splash! Puma X falls flat, face first. Kensingten got him up again and threw him to the ropes, she caught him and executed an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex! A headlock once again is seen. While locking in the headlock, Kensingten is also seen knocking Puma’s head with punches. Kensingten let go of the submission and sent him once again to the turnbuckle and his back hit the corner! Kicks to his stomach, a lot of kicks to the stomach.

James Peters: Snap Suplex! Kensingten rolls and she gets up again, another Suplex!!!!! Another headlock, Puma pushed her fast to the turnbuckle but Kensingten jumped and grabbed the turnbuckle, Puma ran to her but she attacked him with a Corner Handstand Headscissors Takedown! A dropkick to the back of Puma’s head! He is getting destroyed, demolished and squashed!

Rich Russillo: Kensingten Calhoun-Astor pushed Puma to the ropes, he grabbed the ropes and a Clothesline helped Kensingten get him to the outside. Kensingten isn’t waiting, a Tope Con Hilo was done! Kensingten quickly grabs him, SHE LIFTED HIM UP FOR A POWERBOMB AND SHE SAW THE STEPS CLOSER TO HER, OH NO!!!! POWERBOMB TO THE STEPS! PUMA X IS GRABBING HIS BACK SO HARD RIGHT NOW! KENSINGTEN GRABS HIM AGAIN AND THROWS HIM TO THE RING APRON, HE LANDED ON HIS BACK AGAIN! PUMA X IS STRUGGLING GET UP AS THE REFEREE IS NOW COUNTING 6.

James Peters: Kensingten went for the cover, she is sure that this would be it. Is it enough?

Referee: ONE!!!! TWO!!!! THR-

James Peters: Kick out from Puma X!

Persephone: ……

James Peters: Persephone, wake up! Now, Kensingten saw an opportunity to execute a signature move of hers, Heart Of Dixie. She went to the second rope and she posed…. That’s a pretty long pose, she is literally squashing the poor soul of Puma X, WAIT SHE DIDN’T GET IT, PUMA X MANAGED TO GET TO HER. LOOK BEHIND! IT’S TOO LATE, PUMA X JUMPED TO THE SECOND ROPE AND QUICKLY EXECUTED A REVERSE RANA!!!!! KENSINGTEN IS THROWN TO THE ROPES, TIGER FEINT KICK FROM PUMA X!!!!! WOAH, WHAT IS THIS SUDDEN REVIVAL?!

Rich Russillo: Puma X made sure that she got tired so that he could have the advantage, he now went to the ropes, SLINGSHOT SENTON, MISSED!!! THE COMEBACK ENDED RIGHT THERE! His back was hurt too much, he took the risk and he now had to suffer. As he is seen lying helplessly in the ring, Kensingten uses the turnbuckle to help her stand up as she is collecting her energy again. The referee checked on Puma X but Kensingten told him to back off. They had a little argument there.

Persephone: I can’t wait to see this match end.

James Peters: Kensingten now, waiting for Puma X to try to get up. Puma X went to put his hands on the ring, AND KENSINGTEN WITH A RUNNING KICK TO HIS FACE BUT SHE MISSED HER TARGET! X rolls outside of the ring as he is seen struggling to stay alive. He is using the steps to help him, he is almost up but he didn’t realize that KENSINGTEN ISN’T DONE WITH HIM!!!!! Puma looked up, KENSINGTEN IS IN POSITION, DON’T GET UP, PUMA!!!! MOOOOOONNNNNSAULTTT!!!!!! Kensingten Calhoun-Astor is 100% winning this match!

Rich Russillo: She throws Puma X inside the ring and Kensingten went in for the cover, OH, OH A ROLLUP FROM PUMA X!!!!

Referee: ONE!!! TWO!!!

Rich Russillo: Kicked out and both of them are up, Puma hanging in the turnbuckle while Kensingten is charging towards him! Stingers Splash missed! DRAGON SUPLEX FROM PUMA X! This might be the comeback that he is waiting for! He is holding her in another headlock before throwing her to the turnbuckle, DROPKICK! However, Puma X had to face the consequences as the dropkick ended with him landing on his back. He used the turnbuckle to help him stand up again. Meanwhile, Kensingten Calhoun-Astor is still lying on the edge of the corner, PUMA X TOOK THE RISK AGAIN, CANNONBALL!!!!!! Puma threw her to the ropes, he went to the other side, HANDSPRING CUT- KENSINGTEN PUSHED HIM! KENSINGTEN SLIDES IN PUMA X’S LEGS AND GOT HIM UP! HE IS READY FOR A SIGNATURE MOVE, BLESS YOUR H-

James Peters: Puma landed on his own two feet, Roundhouse kick! Puma X trying to get Kensingten with a DDT attempt! Kensingten pushed him to the ropes, he went with a flip, ready to land on Kensingten’s head but she ducked and an elbow was done to the face of The Skill of X! Russian Leg Sweep by Kensingten Calhoun-Astor! Will The Steel Magnolia of Elite Answers Wrestling prove that she is a big threat? Will this really happen? Will Puma X sit with on embarrassment because of another loss?

Rich Russillo: Kensingten isn’t going to wait any longer, she throws Puma X to the turnbuckle, Puma jumps to the top of turnbuckle and goes with a Tornado DDT! Who is going to win this now?! Puma lifts Kensingten to the turnbuckle and they’re both on the top of the rope, PUMA X IS GOING TO EXECUTE THE PUMA FLY!!!!! HE IS GOING TO FLY IN THE AIR, OHHH KENSINGTEN IS PUNCHING HIM IN THE BACK RIGHT NOW! KENSINGTEN PUSHED HIM DOWN!!!!! KENSINGTEN TO THE SECOND ROPE, HEART OF DIXIE IS FINALLY EXECUTED!!!!!! PUMA X’S CHEST MUST BE IN SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW! KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR IS READY FOR THE END AS SHE WAITS FOR PUMA X TO GET UP AFTER THAT HEART OF DIXIE!!

James Peters: PUMA X IS GETTING CHECKED ON BY THE REFEREE, KENSINGTEN PUSHED THE REFEREE AWAY AND QUICKLY GRABBED PUMA X, SHE IS LOCKING IN HER FINISHING MOVE!!!! A LITTLE TOUCH OF SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY!!!!!!! Puma X is struggling so bad right now, Kensingten tightens the submission move by locking X with her legs!!!!! PUMA X CAN DO NOTHING NOW! X IS SEEN PASSING OUT! AND HE DID!!!! HE PASSED OUT!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. KENSINGTEN CALHOUN-ASTOR!!!!!

Persephone: Puma X is done for not just tonight, but his run should be over right now.

James Peters: That is a little bit too harsh. He did lose again, this time sadly not in a better fashion. However, that doesn’t mean that there is no hope for him at all.

Rich Russillo: Kensingten Calhoun-Astor just showed her strength and now people need to realize and understand that she still has a bright future in EAW.

James Peters: Exactly. However, what do you guys think about Puma X? He has been losing 3 times, I don’t think that it’s a bad look for him.

Rich Russillo: The only bad thing about it is the fact that he still can’t get a win. He is still new so anything can happen in the future.

Persephone: Maybe he will be fired. Hopefully he is.

(Kensingten Calhoun-Astor stood up and the referee raised her hands up. Meanwhile, Puma X is still lying, unconscious after A Little Touch of Southern Hospitality was done. The referee signaled for the medical team to check on Puma X as Kensingten is busy celebrating her win.)

(Backstage….)

(As the camera pans outside the offices of Captain Charisma, Sofia Clarke is standing right outside his door, she knocks a few times before he opens and steps out.)

Captain Charisma: Hey Sofia.

Sofia Clarke: Good evening Captain Charisma, I am here to find out if you have any sort of medical update on Ms. Extreme after last week and will she be able to compete at Territorial Invasion in the match with Kasey Kaos?

Captain Charisma: Actually I do, I talked to Camille earlier and the medical staff that has been treating her and I have been informed that she will be just fine and is cleared to compete at Territorial Invasion a week from now. She was very adamant about stepping into the ring with Kasey Kaos and we all know how Ms. Extreme can be, very persistent, but I wouldn’t let her wrestle in that match unless I was one hundred percent certain that she was able to compete without any restrictions. I will say, she did have one request for the match though and that is….

(But before he could finish the sentence, Kasey Kaos walks right up to him, Sofia backs up some as Kasey yanks the microphone from her gentle hands, tilting her head as she is face to face with the General Manager of Voltage.)

Kasey Kaos: Cleared to compete? Able to wrestle at Territorial Invasion? We know that she is less than one hundred percent after the fireball in her face. We know that her foolish pride is speaking with a forked tongue demanding to wrestle us, when all this is? One big ploy by you to excite those who think Ms. Extreme is impenetrable. Here’s a spoiler, she isn’t. See, Captain, we came here for one reason only, to give a stern warning, do not clear her to wrestle, do not allow for her blind courage to mask the fear she has for us. If you have any care in the world for your athletes, then you will not allow Ms. Extreme to compete against us at Territorial Invasion, that is if you know what id good for you.

(Tilting her head, smiling, Kasey Kaos glares Captain Charisma down, Sofia has backed away to a safe distance as the General Manager stays poised, responding to the crazed Kaos.)

Captain Charisma: Duly noted Kasey but as you can tell, I am a man of my word, and both the Doctors and Ms. Extreme had said that she is able to compete, I for one will not deny her the opportunity to step into the ring with you. Territorial Invasion is one of the biggest shows of the EAW Calendar year and for me to deny Ms. Extreme the chance to wrestle you, well that would be cheating the fans and her. Ms. Extreme is going to be there and your match with Ms. Extreme is still on.

(Kasey starts to chuckle, shaking her head.)

Kasey Kaos: If she shows up, it will be more than a fireball that we throw in her face, you are basically signing her death warrant, do we make ourselves clear?

Captain Charisma: Crystal. IT is rather funny and ironic in the same breath that you mentioned this time it would be more than a fireball thrown in her face, because you see, while talking to Ms. Extreme, she had asked for one request, one stipulation to be added to this match. At first, I was a little hesitant, but then again, I thought about it, this is Voltage and who am I to deny Ms. Extreme’s request after what you did, and so this match between you Kasey and Ms. Extreme is now going to be an INFERNO MATCH!

(The crowd can be heard cheering as Kasey’s eyes light up, widened in excitement.)

Kasey Kaos: Were you doing this for us!? Because that is what it sounds like! Oh, Ms. Extreme wants to be known as this Hardcore Hero who can take down the big bad but has never stopped to look at the big picture, for a fireball was only a taste of things to come, there is so much more to give now at Territorial Invasion, can you imagine Captain? Her flesh burning, the smell of her hair singed in a blaze. Oh, the horrors that they will see at our hands and it was YOU to blame, so the question now is can you live with those consequences when her charred body is carried out at her request and your acceptance? This could have been so easy, and instead you entice us with exactly what we wanted…. A trial by fire.

(As Kasey Kaos starts to cackle, she slowly backs away while Captain Charisma looks on, watching her disappear down the hallway, turning to Sofia who is a bit spooked as Voltage fades to a commercial break.)

(Commercial break for Netflix. Talk about a lifesaver when your power is out and you only have your phone to rely on for entertainment purposes :wow: PS. Forensic Files is great!)

(Voltage backs in and cuts to Bella, who’s standing in the center of the ring.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME JESSE BARLOW, KOREY GAINES, AND HANNAH MARIN… BETTER KNOWN AS PARENTAL ADVISORY!!!

(“Player Haters’ Ball” by Palisades begins to blast across the PA system and the socially distanced crowd begins to jeer. Those jeers just get louder as Hannah leads Jesse and Korey out onto the stage.)

James Peters: If you tuned into Voltage last week, and I can only assume that you did because it’s the greatest show in EAW today, you heard Donovan Duke give an update on the condition of the man who was set to team up with him come Territorial Invasion.

Rich Russillo: It shouldn’t come as any shock to the members of the EAW Universe who saw the horrible attack that Conor Ryan’s wrestling career and possibly his life are over.

Persephone: Good riddance.

James Peters: Last week, Parental Advisory were about to deal Donovan a similar fate but he was saved by the most unlikely source.

Rich Russillo: That’s right, James! The disturbed individual we are coming to know as Azrael showed up announced, saving Donovan’s career and who knows what else, in the process.

Persephone: And now we’re getting an even shittier match between the four of them that I have like no desire to call come Territorial Invasion.

Rich Russillo: You don’t want to call any match that doesn’t involve Rex anyway.

Persephone: True ☺️! I ❤️ him!

(Parental Advisory are in the ring now and have been given microphones.)

Jesse Barlow: Iiight so maybe the whole Azrael thing caught us off guard last week but how would YOU react if a fuckin’ freakazoid showed up in the ring, about to attack you from behind? I mean, we were minding our own business, taking care of business, and this freaky ass jamoke comes out of nowhere for reasons unknown to any of us. I mean talk about a fuckin’ head scratcher. I don’t even get what the fuck this whole match is now, but what I do know is that Parental Advisory is about to get their hands on a chance to become Unified Tag Team Champions.

Korey Gaines: And you know, Jesse? It’s not like we didn’t teach Azarael what happens when you get in the middle of our business anyway. I don’t think he likes sledgehammers very much. Do you?

Jesse Barlow: Nah, fam. He definitely doesn’t like sledgehammers. That big motherfucker got what he deserved and there’s more of that waiting for him come Territorial Invasion.

Korey Gaines: Parental Advisory is taking that contendership and there’s not a fucking thing anyone can do about it. I been waiting patiently for another opportunity to come my way and now it’s finally within reach. Tonight’s match with Sienna is just a tune-up, a little preview if you will. I hope Donovan Duke and Azrael are paying close attention.

(As if on cue, “The Phoenix’ by Fall Out Boy begins to blast across the PA system. The crowd has a nice little pop for Donovan Duke, who appears on stage alongside Azrael’s brother, Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Jacobs has an eerie little smile on his face, and Donovan, to his credit, still looks a little perplexed by this whole situation. Both men have microphones and it’s actually Mr. Jacobs who goes to speak first.)

Mr. Jacobs: Neither of you need to concern yourself with who and what Azrael is. The only thing you need to understand is why he did what he did. My brother has a thirst for blood and a taste for violence, and for whatever reason, he found himself drawn to the two of you. Whether it was for the sheer brutality you two displayed when disposing of Conor Ryan, or if it was because of what you were going to attempt to do to Donovan, remains a bit of a mystery. In due time, Azrael will speak in detail when it comes to this situation.

Jesse Barlow: Right, so here’s the thing, neither of us give a fuck as to why he did what he did. It’s not going to stop the inevitable from happening come Territorial Invasion which is Parental Advisory beating the shit out that pussy beside you and the chained up weirdo that you keep locked up in the shed until it’s time to exploit him.

(Donovan steps forward and he can’t help but shake his head at Jesse’s arrogance.)

Donovan Duke: Not gunna lie, what happened last week screwed me up a little bit. I went through a range of emotions as you two douchebags attacked me, attempted to seal my fate, and then got myself saved. I was more than happy to face you two fuckers alone at Territorial Invasion, but finding out that I will stand beside Azrael is a welcome surprise. I have no idea how the team is going to work, but I will say this. All three of you deserve whatever is about to come to you.

Korey Gaines: :mjlol: What does that mean?

(Mr. Jacobs and Donovan look at one another and smirk. Parental Advisory exchange looks with one another, when all of a sudden, Hannah lets out a scream.)

James Peters: AZRAEL JUST CAME FROM UNDER THE RING AND HE SEIZES JESSE AND KOREY! HE SLAMS THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND THROWS THEM BOTH TO THE SIDE! HANNAH GOES TO RUN OUT OF THE RING, BUT AZRAEL GRABS HER BY THE BACK OF THE PANTS AND WHIRLS AROUND HER! ‘LAST BREATH’!!!

Rich Russillo: AZRAEL IS CHOKING HANNAH WITH THE MANDIBLE CLAW! SHE IS GASPING FOR AIR AND CLAWING AT HIS HANDS! JESSE AND KOREY MAKE A BEELINE FOR AZRAEL BUT DONOVAN IS IN THE RING! HE TACKLES JESSE TO THE MAT AS KOREY HITS AZRAEL WITH A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK! AZRAEL WHIPS AROUND, STILL CHOKING HANNAH, AND SENDS KOREY OUT OF THE RING WITH A BIG BOOT! DONOVAN BEATS ON JESSE BEFORE GETTING HIM UP AND SETTING HIM UP ‘SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY’!!!

Persephone: THE WIDOW’S PEAK CONNECTS ON JESSE BARLOW! AZRAEL HAS CHOKED OUT HANNAH MARIN BUT HE IS NOT DONE WITH HER! HE LIFTS HER UP AND SPIKES HER INTO THE MAT WITH HIS VERSION OF THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!

James Peters: :damn: He calls that move ‘Burial’ and he might have just taken Hannah Marin out of commission for awhile!

(‘The Phoenix’ by Fall Out Boy begins to play while Donovan and Azrael stand tall over the watchful eye of Mr. Jacobs. Korey is sitting up on the outside, clutching the back of his head, in pure disbelief over the fact Parental Advisory just got laid out.)

Rich Russillo: Damn! We could be looking at the soon-to-be number one contenders for the Unified Tag Team titles and it’s the unlikely duo of Donovan Duke and Azrael!

Persephone: Talk about strange bedfellows.

James Peters: :wow:

(Donovan exchanges a nervous look with Azrael, who grins mancially, and then the scene at ringside fades elsewhere.)

(Voltage fades backstage, where Sofia Clarke is seen in the interviewing area. Sofia is standing in front of the camera with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, and after a few seconds she begins to speak.)

Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome one of the two Elitists who will be facing Sienna Jade for her National Elite Championship at Territorial Invasion…. Adam Lucas!

(Adam Lucas soon steps into the camera’s view, and he has a smirk on his face despite what happened last week on Voltage.)

Sofia Clarke: Now Adam, as we all know you’ll be taking on Shane Gates and Sienna Jade for her National Elite Championship at Territorial Invasion, how does it feel competing in your first Championship match?

Adam Lucas: It’s great. I’ve worked really hard to get an opportunity like this, and now I finally have it. It’s my first Championship opportunity and probably my biggest match to date, I’m excited. I believe everything that’s happened to me up until this point has gotten me in this position. My entire career thus far has prepared me for this moment.

Sofia Clarke: Well, after that fight last week during your tag team match I think it’s only appropriate for me to ask how you feel about both Shane Gates and Sienna Jade.

Adam Lucas: Well it’s pretty obvious how I feel about Shane Gates. I said pretty much everything I could’ve about Shane. He sucks, and he lost fair and square in our contendership match. It’s not my fault he couldn’t break up my pin on Kensingten. I’m looking forward to beating him yet again, even if he realistically shouldn’t have been in the National Elite Championship match in the first place. He basically cried his way into a title match. I’m not impressed with any of his actions since our contendership match, but I’m even less impressed with Sienna. It’s hard for me to respect people who only show up when it’s convenient for them, and that’s basically Sienna’s whole history with EAW. Sienna’s not a worthy Champion, that’s all it is. Her entire career she’s had it easy. Leaving when the going gets tough and returning once the dust settles. How could someone like that be National Elite Champion? She doesn’t deserve to hold that title, and after Territorial Invasion she won’t be holding it any longer. This is my time, I will win the National Elite Championship next week.

(After Adam finishes speaking, he takes a second as he looks like he’s deep in thought.)

Adam Lucas: Honestly, neither of those two deserve to be Champion. Sienna Jade doesn’t know what it’s like having to work through thick and thin, and Shane Gates has never been anything but a bottomfeeder. There’s a reason he’s always lived at the bottom of the card. Shane Gates isn’t cut out for this, and like I said before he has one of, if not the worst record in EAW. Shane’s been annoying the past few weeks but his tantrums won’t give him the National Elite Championship. He’s gonna have to work for that, and I already know he can’t defeat me. I don’t see him
doing too well against Sienna Jade either, so if you ask me he really has no place in this match. He’s in over his head, and if by some miracle he does manage to capture that title, I feel bad for the Voltage roster and for that Championship, because its value is going to decrease tremendously. There’s no other option. At Territorial Invasion we will see-

???: AND NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!!….

Adam Lucas: :mjpls:

(Shane Gates soon enters the scene, and Adam Lucas doesn’t look very impressed, meanwhile Sofia Clarke slowly begins backing up, understanding the tension between those two.)

Shane Gates: Me.

Adam Lucas: Are you serious? You really think you stand a chance at winning that title?

Shane Gates: Not only do I stand a chance, but I’m going to destroy the both of you to win that title if I have to. You keep talking about me but you forget that you did NOT defeat me. You didn’t pin me in that triple threat, and if you can’t do that you don’t deserve the right to speak on my career. You’ve had your failures just like I have, and I’ve actually proven I can beat Sienna Jade after what I did to her during her match with Terry Chambers. What can you do Adam? You guys would have to work together if you want to keep me down, and after last week I don’t even think you can do that.

Adam Lucas: Oh, are you talking about the tag team match you ruined because you knew we would’ve won against the EAW Champion and his number one contender? You knew we would’ve shown who the weakest link of our Territorial Invasion match is and you couldn’t have that. It’s a shame, since you still are the weak link anyway and your interference didn’t do much but lower your own chances, since I’m looking to get some payback now.

Shane Gates: Do you really think I’m scared of you? You’re the one that should be scared Adam. I’m walking into Territorial Invasion with only two things in mind. Dominating the two of you, and winning the National Elite Championship. You and Sienna have ridiculed me long enough. At Territorial Invasion I’ll give both of you a reason to fear me.

???: This is just sad.

(the camera pans out showing the National Elite Champion Sienna Jade, who just walked into the area. She has her gear on ready for her match, and looks almost embarrassed seeing Adam and Shane argue.)

Sienna Jade: Can you two just stop? This is pathetic, and so are both of your chances at beating me. I went through hell against my best friend to win the National Elite Championship, and I’m not about to let it end up in the hands of a rookie or a career jobber.

Shane Gates: What was that?

Adam Lucas: The career jobber part wasn’t wrong.

Shane Gates: Territorial Invasion can’t come soon enough. I can’t wait to rip your heads from your bodies.

Adam Lucas: I’d love to see you try.

(As Adam says this, he shoves Shane, as if he was testing him. After a few seconds, Shane rams Adam into a nearby wall, and the two immediately begin trading punches. Adam soon manages to turn things around, pressing Shane against the wall before punching away at him. As the two continue to fight, Sienna Jade takes the National Elite Championship off her waist and holds it up, before charging in to strike Adam with it- just for Adam to hit her with a back elbow to the face as he anticipated it. Adam then grabs Shane and sends him her way, but Sienna manages to move out of the way as Shane is sent into a bunch of equipment.)

(Sienna quickly gets back up and holds her Championship tightly to her chest, slowly backing away from the area as Adam grabs Shane again and sends him into the opposite side of the room, causing him to slam right into the wall. Sienna’s just starting to see that Adam may be a serious threat come Territorial Invasion, and so she leaves the scene, leaving Adam Lucas standing alone as Voltage fades away from backstage.)

(Voltage returns from commercial break to show Bella Braxton standing in the center of the ring, holding an EAW branded microphone.)

Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Middle Fingers’ by MISSIO begins to play through the speakers to a chorus of boos. Korey Gaines walks onto the stage with two middle fingers at his side. The crowd does this back, not out of respect, but out of genuine hatred.)

James Peters: Next week at Territorial Invasion, Korey Gaines and Jesse Barlow, Parental Advisory, will square off against the team of Donovan Duke and Azrael, two men who have put on amazing match after amazing match, but haven’t earned too much in their stay on Voltage so far. They look to prove to everyone that they are everything they say they are, but could Parental Advisory do otherwise and pick up that victory?

Rich Russillo: Quite possibly. This is their first FPV match as a team, ever since they joined forces at Bloodsport where Korey Gaines aligned himself with Jesse Barlow to help him pick up a huge victory, defeating SKA in that triple threat fans bring the weapons match.

James Peters: I’m still sad Barlow didn’t use the baguette.

Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma… Weighing in at 170 pounds… THE AERIAL BASTARD… KOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY GAINES!

(Korey Gaines hops onto the apron, and enters the ring. The crowd boos more before he raises his hands into the air. Very slowly he lowers his pointer finger, then his ring finger, then his pinky finger, to make two middle fingers. He then aims it in the direction of the EAW universe. His theme would then fade out, only to be replaced by ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts. The crowd would continue to boo as the lights begin to flash on the stage. Sienna Jade walks into view, with the EAW National Elite Championship in her left hand. She would then turn around, to show her leather jacket off with the words “UNFUCKWITHABLE” stitched onto the back. She’d raise her title before walking down the ramp.)

James Peters: And here comes the champion! At Territorial Invasion she too has a match, a triple threat match against Adam Lucas and Shane Gates for her EAW National Elite Championship. She looks to prove a point to those two here tonight, if she picks up a victory against Korey Gaines in impressive fashion, she’ll surely make her opponents slightly nervous about the match.

Rich Russillo: Shane Gates? Nervous? Surely you’re joking.

Bella Braxton: And introducing his opponent… residing from San Diego, California, weighing in at 135 pounds… THE UNFUCKWITHABLE… SIENNAAAAAAAAAA JADE!

(Sienna Jade slides into the ring, and climbs the nearest turnbuckle, before raising her championship high into the air for the crowd to see. They would boo, whilst she turns her head to look to Korey Gaines with a smirk on her face, looking at him with an expression that screams “you will never have what I have.” Her theme then fades out as she climbs down into the ring. She removes her jacket and hands the referee the title, before going to her corner.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: The match begins with a bang, as Korey Gaines sprints out of his corner and attempts to tackle Sienna to the ground, but his plan doesn’t work to full effect as she rolls out of the way as if she was in an action movie! Korey Gaines rises back to his feet, only to be met with a stiff punch which knocks him into the turnbuckles!

James Peters: But Sienna isn’t going to stop there! She quickly stands on the middle rope in front of Korey, and begins to rain down punches!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TE-

James Peters: Korey Gaines pulls Sienna into a powerbomb position! He begins to run across to the other side of the ring, for a running powerbom-

Rich Russillo: Sienna counters with a hurricanrana, driving Korey into the middle turnbuckle! Korey’s fall looked hard, but the collision looked harder! He rolls onto his stomach and begins to cover part of his face – showing clear signs of pain!

James Peters: Korey Gaines seems to have suffered some sort of nose injury? He’s holding onto it tightly as if something is broken, and Sienna Jade wants to know what! She approaches Korey and grabs onto his face before pulling him up t-

Rich Russillo: HE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! HEADBUTT TO SIENNA! SHE STUMBLES BACKWARDS, GROGGILY, WHILST KOREY RUNS IN HER DIRECTION… STEP-UP JUMPING KNEE! SIENNA FALLS BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES… SHE REBOUNDS WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT KOREY GRABS IT AND SPINS OUT… SNAP DDT!

James Peters: KOREY INITIATES A COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWOOOOOO-

James Peters: No! A kick-out at one!

Rich Russillo: The match has just started, so I highly doubt a victory this early on will be easy!

Persephone: Sadly.

James Peters: Korey rises to his feet, barely broken a sweat, as he grabs Sienna by the hair! Korey quickly kneels down and tries to apply a crossface, but Sienna slips out and gets to her feet! He was too slow when reaching her, now she’s recovered!

Rich Russillo: Sienna runs the ropes, before hitting a shining wizar- no! Korey avoids by rolling out of the way, and he gets to his feet! Froggy Footsto- No! Sienna dodges, and hits a stiff kick to Korey’s back! Korey stumbles into the ropes before rebounding with a clotheslin-

James Peters: But Sienna hits a snap DDT of her own! Korey spikes on his head, and SHE covers!

ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TWOOOOO-

Rich Russillo: Kick-out at one! Same move, same result!

Persephone: Sadly.

James Peters: Korey Gaines took a bad fall but I don’t think he’s damaged much. Must’ve got lucky with that landing, despite landing on his head!

Rich Russillo: Probably not the case considering what everyone else kicks out of. I swear I’ve seen someone shot and still kick out.

James Peters: That’s why I think he’s not hurt.

Rich Russillo: :oh:!!!

James Peters: Sienna pushes herself to her feet, and backs off into the corner. She’s setting something huge up, maybe the moonsault?

Rich Russillo: But before she can even get onto the apron, Korey Gaines grabs her foot! But she kicks him off, and climbs to the top rope! …STARSTRUC-

James Peters: KOREY GAINES ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! SIENNA LANDS ON HER FEET… SHE SPRINTS TOWARDS KOREY… BELLY TOP BELLY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! SIENNA JADE IS OUT COLD!

Rich Russillo: BUT KOREY DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! INSTEAD HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE HIMSELF, STARING DOWN AT HIS OPPONENT… HE LEAPS… 450 SPLAS-

James Peters: BUT SIENNA JADE GETS HER KNEES UP! TRANSITION INTO A SCHOOLBOY ROLL UP!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters: NO! KICK OUT! KOREY GAINES JUST ABOUT GETS OUT OF THE ROLL UP! BUT SIENNA JADE FOLLOWS UP ON THE OPPORTUNITY SHE HAS AND MOUNTS KOREY! SHE REPEATEDLY STRIKES HIM WITH FOREARMS AND ELBOWS TO THE HEAD, BUT KOREY WANTS NONE OF IT! HE SHOVES HER OFF BEFORE KICKING HER IN THE EAR, REGAINING HIS CONTROL!

Rich Russillo: Korey quickly scatters to his feet, before grabbing Sienna by her shoulders and slamming her into the mat! He then drives his knee into her back, before hitting a double knee drop into that same place! He’s now moved onto the stomach, as he rolls her over and does the same thing! First one knee, then two-

James Peters: But Sienna rolls out of the way, and Korey lands on the canvas! Sienna scrambles to her feet, but so does Korey! He landed on his knees, and nothing was hurt! Sienna quickly takes control, as she tries to lock in a Fujiwara Armbar while standing, but Korey slips out fairly easily before trying to catch Sienna in a hammerlock! Sienna scouts it, and turns to face him at the last second before hitting a forearm strike to the jaw, knocking him back slightly!

Rich Russillo: Sienna continues to strike, as she hits blow after blow, forearms to Korey, knocking him back into the ropes! She then irish whips him to the other side before following up with a running shotgun dropkick, sending him tumbling to the outside!

James Peters: Sienna Jade has something planned, and I’m sure it’s not good for either of them! She begins to climb the turnbuckles as Korey gets to his feet…

Rich Russillo & James Peters: STARSTUCK!!!!!!!!

James Peters: TOP ROPE MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE, AND BOTH MEN COMPLETELY TUMBLE TO THE FLOOR!

Rich Russillo: KOREY GAINES DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE MOVING, HOWEVER SIENNA IS, HOLDING ONTO HER LEFT ELBOW, PROBABLY LANDING ON IT POORLY!!

Persephone: Rexy would never do that, which is why he’s always okay!

James Peters: :wow:

Rich Russillo: Sienna Jade struggles to get to her feet, but once she does she’s back on the attack! Instead of taking him in the ring, she begins to mount him and hits more forearm strikes to his jaw! The referee begins his count, if they can’t make it back in the ring the match will be over!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

NINE!

Rich Russillo: Sienna Jade slides in and out of the ring to break the count! She then goes back to hit more forearm strikes! The referee restarts his count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

James Peters: Sienna Jade picks Korey up and pushes him into the ring! She then follows suit before attempting a pinfall!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

James Peters: No! Korey Gaines kicks out! He manages to survive the moonsault AND onslaught of attacks to his jaw! Sienna doesn’t appear too happy that one of the strongest moves in her arsenal didn’t put him away, along with that beatdown.

Rich Russillo: No use feeling sorry for yourself in a match with Korey Gaines. When he gets to fly, you’re done. If she’s able to keep him grounded, she has the perfect strategy.

James Peters: I don’t think she has a strategy, she just wants to hurt him and have that be the reason she wins!

Rich Russillo: Sienna crawls towards the corner, and uses the ropes to get herself to her feet. She then begins to climb the turnbuckles, but Korey pushes her so she’s hanging on the middle rope! Oh my god… ROPE HUNG BACKSTABBER! ROPE HUNG BACKSTABBER, CUTTING HER IN HALF!

James Peters: BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE! HE ROLLS OVER BEFORE GRABBING HER BY HER WAIST! HE PULLS HER TO A STANDING POSITION, THEN PLACES HER HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS! OKIE DESTROYER! THE FLIP PILEDRIVER, SPIKING SIENNA JADE HEAD FIRST INTO THE CANVAS!! THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Rich Russillo: SIENNA KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND! HE ALMOST HAD HER BUT SOMEHOW SHE FOUND THE WAY TO POWER OUT AND KEEP THE MATCH GOING! SHE NEEDS THE MOMENTUM HEADING INTO HER TRIPLE THREAT MATCH AT TERRITORIAL INVASION AND WON’T LET KOREY GAINES TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER!

James Peters: KOREY IS HEATED UP! HE WANTS TO PUT HER AWAY RIGHT NOW! KOREY QUICKLY BOUNCES TO HIS FEET, PULLING SIENNA UP WITH HIM! OH MY… SNAP POWERBOMB!

Rich Russillo: NO! SIENNA JADE DROPS TO HER FEET, BEFORE ATTEMPTING A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO KOREY’S STOMACH! KOREY BLOCKS IT, BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE! DETONATION KIC-

James Peters: SIENNA DUCKS! HE THEN TRIES TO FOLLOW UP WITH A SUPERKICK, BUT SHE DUCKS THAT TOO! SIENNA LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR A REVERSE RANA, BUT KOREY PUSHES HER AWAY AND ATTEMPTS ONE OF HIS OWN!

Rich Russillo: SIENNA JADE DROPS TO HER KNEES AND KOREY LEAPFROGS HER UNINTENTIONALLY! SIENNA ROLLS HIM UP! SCHOOLBOY!

ONEEEEEE-

James Peters: KOREY ESCAPES THE PINFALL, BUT SIENNA CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD! WAIT NO, HE BLOCKS IT BEFORE STANDING UP ONCE MORE! SIENNA HITS A ROLLING ELBOW, CONNECTING WITH HIS CHEEKBONE, FORCING HIM TO DO A 180! SHE THEN HOOKS HIS ARM… RIPCORD ROLLING ELB-

Rich Russillo: KOREY GAINES COUNTERS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, PUSHING HER ONTO THE ROPES! HE FALLS TO HIS BACK, AND SIENNA FALLS ON TOP OF HIM! PINFALL!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters; KICK OUT! KOREY GAINES KICKS OUT! SOMEHOW HE POPS THE SHOULDER U-

Rich Russillo: DOUBLE UNDERHOOK CROSSFAC- NO! KOREY GAINES SLIPS OUT OF THE HOLD AS SOON AS IT’S LOCKED IN, AND HE RISES TO HIS FEET! HE TRIES THE DETONATION KICK AGAIN, BUT SIENNA ONCE AGAIN DUCKS BEFORE HITTING A LEAPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! KOREY GAINES FALLS TO HIS KNEES, AND SIENNA JADE TAKES ADVANTAGE! SHE PULLS HIM BACK UP BEFORE PLACING HIM IN THE CORNER!

James Peters: SHE TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE TAKING A HUGE RUN UP! LEAPING KNEE TO THE JAW AGAIN! BEFORE SHE PULLS HIM INTO A GORY SPECIAL BACKBREAKER REALLY QUICKL-

Rich Russillo: NO! KOREY SLIDES TO HIS FEET BEFORE HITTING THE DETONATION KICK! IT FINALLY CONNECTS AND SIENNA JADE FALLS TO HER BACK! IT COULD BE OVER RIGHT HERE!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters: ANOTHER KICK OUT! SHE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AGAIN, AND I’M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF ANYTHING WILL PUT HER AWAY!

Rich Russillo: KOREY GAINES IS FUMING RIGHT NOW! NOTHING WILL KEEP HER DOWN! HE MOUNTS HER AND DOES THE SAME THING SHE DID EARLIER, FOREARM STRIKES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO THE JAW!

James Peters: SHE ISN’T MOVING! BUT HE WON’T STOP! SHE APPEARS TO BE LIFELESS RIGHT NOW, BUT HE WILL NOT STOP!

Rich Russillo: ALL IS FAIR IN WAR MY FRIEND! HE CAN BEAT HER DOWN AS MUCH AS HE LIKES, EVEN MORE SO CONSIDERING SHE DID THE SAME THING EARLIER!

James Peters: KOREY GAINES PULLS SIENNA TO HER FEET, BEFORE HITTING THE SNAP POWERBOMB HE COULDN’T EARLIER! AND NOW SHE’S IN PERFECT POSITION FOR ONE OF HIS DIVING MANEUVERS THAT IS GUARANTEED TO PUT HER AWAY RIGHT HERE! HE GOES ONTO THE APRON AND CLIMBS THE TURNBUCKLES! HE STANDS ON THE TOP ROPE, AND LOOKS DOWN AT SIENNA!!!

Rich Russillo: …..OKLAHOMA TWISTER!!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!

James Peters: BUT NOBODY IS HOME! FLESH MEET CANVAS, KOREY GAINES IS OUT COLD! SIENNA JADE MANAGED TO ROLL OUT ONTO THE APRON IN THE NICK OF TIME, AVOIDING BEING CRUSHED BY KOREY GAINES WEIGHT AND SPEED! SHE RISES TO HER FEET, AND BEGINS TO RECOVER WHILST LEANING ON THE TOP ROPE!

Rich Russillo: KOREY GAINES HIT THE GROUND HARD, BUT HE’S SOMEHOW ABLE TO MOVE ONCE MORE! HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO CLIMB TO HIS HANDS AND KNEES, WHILST FACING AWAY FROM SIENNA JADE! SHE MUST HAVE SOMETHING PREPARED HERE, LOOK AT HER EYES! SHE’S GOING TO DO SOMETHING, IF IT WORKS IT COULD BE OVER!!

James Peters: SIENNA JADE IS READY, SHE’S BOUNCING UP AND DOWN ON THE APRON, WITH HER HANDS ON THE TOP ROPE… SHE LEAPS…

Rich Russillo: RAW SIENNA! SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF A KNEELING KOREY GAINES’ HEAD! SHE ALMOST TOOK IT CLEAN OFF WITH THAT MOVE, AND IT COULD ALL BE OVER RIGHT THIS SECOND! SHE CRAWLS INTO A PINFALL, AND IT COULD BE THE ONE THAT ENDS IT ALL!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: SHE DID IT!

(‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts blares through the speakers as Sienna Jade slowly pushes herself to her feet. The referee raises her arm, and hands her the EAW National Elite Championship.)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE LOCKER ROOM LEADER… SIEENNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!

James Peters: She put herself through hell, with multiple high risk moves, to get this win and send a message to her opponents next week! But she also managed to keep Korey Gaines off the ground for as long as possible, until he got desperate, where she was able to avoid his patented Oklahoma Twister, sending him chest first into the mat!

Rich Russillo: At first I didn’t think she had a plan, but towards the end that plan unfolded, and once again Sienna Jade comes out on top!

(As Sienna Jade holds up her championship on the top rope, Voltage fades away from the ringside area.)

(The scene reopens backstage where Fight Grid host and backstage correspondent, Molly Waters, is standing by. Molly smiles into the camera and after a moment, she begins speaking.)

Molly Waters: On Friday Night Dynasty, the main event of Territorial Invasion was rocked to its very core when our Chairman, Mr. DEDEDE, made good on his promise to fire the former captain of the Dynasty War Games team and Specialists Champion, Sarah Price, for refusing to fall in line behind both members of The Liquid Swordz. With Sarah out of the picture, Mr. DEDEDE named the Universal Women’s Champion, Serena Bennett, as Sarah’s replacement, making her the third member of the Dynasty War Games team. Off the heels of that announcement, the scheduled Universal Women’s Championship match that had Serena defending against Candice Blair was pushed back a week to the following Dynasty. We’ve heard from everyone involved in War Games about this situation but we haven’t heard from the woman who was set to square off against Serena in her first ever world title match. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… Candice Blair!

(The camera zooms out and Candice is seen standing to Molly’s left. Despite her championship match getting pushed back a week, Candice is still smiling and looking as beautiful as ever. If the situation is bothering her at all, it does not show on her face. She wears a pair of high-waisted leather leggings, black thigh-high Louboutin boots, and her brand new T-shirt from EAW Shopzone.)

Molly Waters: Thank you for joining me tonight, Candice.

Candice Blair: Absolutely. Thanks for having me.

Molly Waters: You went from a headlining match at Territorial Invasion to the sidelines at the first tri-branded marquee event of the new season. How are you feeling right now?

(A slight chuckle escapes from Candice’s lips and she puts her hands on her hips.)

Candice Blair: That seems to be the million dollar question right now. How is Candice Blair feeling about what’s going on? I certainly expected to be getting the last word in right now about Territorial Invasion, especially after the dumbass ‘injury’ angle Serena pulled on Dynasty, but that isn’t going to be the case. Besides, I’m not the one who needs to come out and talk a bunch of garbage about someone’s finisher of all things, just to reach because I lack the ability to actually put forth a good argument as to why I should be considered the favorite in every match I’m in. I’m SeReNa BeNnEtT and I’m the BeSt is something absolutely no one buys these days. Whatever. Serena is an arrogant asshole and if she wants to come off the bench and replace Sarah Price in War Games, then who am I to stop her? Maybe this time around, she won’t throw the towel in early after her much more talented opponents like Jamie O’Hara refuse to take her race bait. This is definitely not something I’m going to cry over. She can go have her fun getting beaten in War Games and enjoy an extra week as the Universal Women’s Champion. The only thing I care about is getting that belt around my waist, and if that means I must wait an extra week in order for that to happen, then that’s okay. I’m a patient woman, Molly. I stood up to Serena and challenged her for that championship and I’m getting my match one way or another. Territorial Invasion or Dynasty… it doesn’t make a difference to me. Either way, I’m going to walk away with the championship and I’m going to look great while doing it.

Molly Waters: So it doesn’t sting at all that you are having to take a backseat this time around?

(Candice takes a moment to think about that question. Since Dynasty, she has been mulling this over. She’s been searching for a breakout moment on a free-per-view for awhile, and thus far it has eluded her. She was hoping to change her luck at Territorial Invasion, but it seems like fate had some other idea in mind for her. Candice finally rakes a perfectly manicured hand through her platinum locks and shrugs her shoulders.)

Candice Blair: Of course I was hoping to win the championship on one of our sport’s biggest stages, but my career in EAW is just getting started. I know that I’m not going to be a flash in the pan, or one of those people who get up and leave because they’re not winning every match, so I’m confident there will be plenty of chances for me to get that big win on a big stage. I’m here to work hard, earn my keep, and show everyone that while my last name might have gotten me in the door, it’s my own hard work that is going to keep me here. I want the name ‘Candice Blair’ to mean something in this industry and I’m not going to continue letting everyone refer to me as the fourth Ava. In two weeks on Dynasty, Serena is going to learn firsthand that I can shatter the dreams of every man and woman in this company, hers included, when I take that championship for myself and turn this company on its head.

(Candice pauses for just a moment before she continues.)

Candice Blair: Obviously I would have loved to compete at Territorial Invasion in any capacity, but this situation was out of my control. I refuse to be angry or bitter over it. Instead, I am just going to use it to motivate me to continue pushing even harder. I don’t like to think that the match being postponed is forcing me to take a backseat. I’m the ‘Hot Commodity’ and no one is ever going to force me out of the spotlight. I’ll always find a way to get my name up in lights.

Molly Waters: What are your plans for next weekend now?

Candice Blair: I’ll definitely be at the show to support my sisters and wish them well. I can’t say that I’m jumping for joy at the fact Camille has decided to ask for an Inferno Match, but perhaps fire is her thing now. She did just beat my best friend Adam Lucas in a flaming weapons match at Bloodsport, so who knows? I’ll obviously be interested in seeing if Adam can dethrone Sienna Jade. I think we can all agree that Shane Gates is only in this match to eat the pin or submission, but something tells me we’re going to have a new champ. I believe in Adam.

(Molly raises an eyebrow and gives Candice a coy look.)

Molly Waters: Do you have a little crush on Adam Lucas, Candice?

Candice Blair: Adam Lucas is extremely talented and much like me, he’s a much-needed breath of fresh air around here. I enjoyed my match against him for the most part, and I know he’s going to continue getting better the more experience he gets. That’s a great thing for Voltage and for EAW as a whole. #TeamAdam!

Molly Waters: :wow: Alright, Candice. Thank you for your time and good luck on Dynasty in a couple of weeks when you face off against Serena.

Candice Blair: :wow: Luck is not needed for a talent such as myself. I’m going to use this extra to prepare accordingly, watch War Games closely, and get myself ready to send Serena Bennett on another downward spiral.

(Candice winks into the camera and takes her exit, leaving Molly standing there. After a moment, Voltage fades into a promotional ad for Territorial Invasion.)

(A promotional ad for Territorial Invasion airs hyping up the much anticipated War Games match featuring Team Voltage, Team Dynasty, and Team Showdown! Catch some of the biggest names in EAW history collide with talented up and comers and future Hall of Famers when Territorial Invasion comes to you live next weekend from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi… only on free-per-view!)

(The camera transitions to the ring where the radiant Bella Braxton stands by ready to introduce the next matchup.)

Bella Braxton: The following contest is an ANYTHING GOES MATCH and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘Smoke And Drive (Remix)’ by Machine Gun Kelly blasts through the speakers to a loud mixed reaction from the crowd. Justin Windgate jerks the curtain and makes his appearance known on the entranceway, looking primed and ready for action. He begins making his way down towards the ring almost completely ignoring the pro Voltage contingent in the stands as he does. )

Bella Braxton: Introducing first…He hails from Detroit, Michigan…He weighs in at TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE POUNDS… HE IS “THE XTREME CLASSIC”, JUSTIN!!!!!!! WINDGATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: We are weeks away from witnessing brand warfare courtesy of Territorial Invasion. Justin Windgate will be walking into the annual event donning blue colours, but before he represents his brand, he is slated to prove himself against a woman that perhaps is the future of women’s professional wrestling in Darcy May Morgan!

Rich Russillo: We already know that, James. What we don’t know is what he can do in a War Games environment. I’ll give it to him, he’s young, he’s quick, he’s athletic, and has a lot of advantages that cater to his abilities as a key player in the match, but will he come through during crunch time? Can he do what Andrea Valentine did to lead Team Voltage to victory last season? Or will he be the one to eat the pin with everything hanging in the balance like Darkane?

James Peters: You’re exactly right, Rich. He’s got the chance to either be the success he’s hoping he can be or the failure most are expecting. It’s indeed his chance to fall or fly.

(“Spotlight Savior” by Iggy Azalea begins to play. Darcy May Morgan walks onto the stage carrying her Cash in the Vault briefcase. Darcy begins making her way down the ramp of the Performance Center with almost an arrogance about her as she heads toward the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first…She hails from Kent, United Kingdom…She comes in weighing in at ONE HUNDRED THIRTY POUNDS…She is MS. CASH IN THE VAULT…THE LEADING LADY…. DARCY MAY MORGAN!!!!!

Persephone: I’m personally hoping this bitch puts that stoner to bed quickly, I’m really curious as to what this loser SOSA has to say about my sexy Rexy’s legacy as the best professional wrestler EVER! Like, should it ever be questioned!!??

James Peters: Before you go off on a tangent, Seph. Ms. Cash In The Vault has arrived! Darcy May Morgan is here for the go home show leading into Territorial Invasion for this ‘Anything Goes’ match. She looks ready and determined to send a message going into TI, and we’ll see if she is able to against ‘The Xtreme Classic’, Justin Windgate.

Persephone: Yeah, yeah. Sure, I guess.

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: The bell has rang and both Darcy May Morgan and Justin Windgate of the Voltage and Showdown brands respectively where are a week out from Territorial Invasion and that epic War Games match still to come, they are ready to go. This is an anything goes, no dqs, no count outs. The only way this match can end is by pinfall or submission! And you have to think with what’s went down over the past several weeks that the teammates of both Darcy and Justin will be watching this contest closely, wouldn’t you agree, Rich?

Rich Russillo: Yeah, I’m waiting to see who’s side is going to pounce on the other first this time! Darcy and Justin go in for a tie up, and it’s Justin who gains the early strength advantage by forcing Darcy back to the corner, and the referee can’t do anything!

James Peters: You’re sure right about that, but I think Darcy realizes that which is why she’s doing her best to fight off Justin with these stiff hard left and rights, but Justin comes back with an uppercut that knocks Darcy back into the corner! The strikes are coming quickly, but Darcy finally ducks one and escapes the corner! Now Darcy with forearms to the head of Justin to knock him off stride! Darcy whips Justin to the ropes, and a face buster delivered by ‘The Leading Lady’ on ‘The Xtreme Classic’! Now a tornado DD-No! Justin blocks the attempt by using his upper body strength to set Darcy over the top rope where she lands on the apron!

Persephone: I can see this one lasting a while, not gonna lie, and Rex isn’t even wrestling tonight which just makes this night one whole moot point in and of itself!

James Peters: Justin follows up with a SUPERKICK, but misses his intended target! Darcy with a shoulder block to the midsection of Justin before stepping back through the ropes! Now Darcy goes back to the tornado DDT and this time she puts Justin Windgate down! Darcy going for the early cover! She’s looking to end things early!

Ref: ONE!!!…T-

Rich Russillo: It’s going to take more than that to put down a veteran elitist the likes of Justin Windgate. Darcy is not showing she’s fazed by a little resilience, she’s rolling out of the ring to the floor. Now she’s deciding raise up the ring apron curtain to see what she can get her hands on. You had to know this wasn’t too far off, not whent it’s anything goes!

James Peters: Right you are there, Rich! Darcy has wasted very little time, as we see Justin Windgate slowly recover. She’s pulled out a kendo stick, and she slides back into the ring! Justin turns around right into a stinging kendo stick shot to the midsection! Justin yells out after another shot! This one to his side! Another shot! She just clipped Justin across the head! Justin goes down and Darcy tosses the near broken kendo stick to the side, drops down to make another cover!

Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…

Rich Russillo: Nope! Not quite! Justin Windgate kicks out! He’s determined to fight through this early onslaught unleashed by the current Ms. Cash In The Vault, Darcy May Morgan! Darcy now tosses Justin through the ropes!

Persephone: Any chance there’s some gasoline underneath that ring? We really need to light a fire under these two, because so far they’re boring the fuck out of me! Rex would have known what to do to bring the excitement this match needs. Did you see him at Bloodsport in Sadistic Madness!!?? He can make any match look great, which is why he’s absolutely the best EVER!!

James Peters: Darcy grabs Justin by his hair and attempts to smash his face into the steel steps but Justin blocks it! Now he takes Darcy by her hair instead and loops her around and tosses her into the plexiglass! Darcy bounces off the glass right into a DDT by Justin! That might be the momentum swing that he needed to get on track finally!

Rich Russillo: We’ll see about that! This one is far from over, James. Through their history that dates back to over a year ago on Dynasty, Justin knows how intense a competitor Darcy May Morgan can be. Justin goes shuffling through the options he has underneath the ring!

James Peters: Justin pulls a chair out from under the ring, and he sees Darcy getting to her feet! Justin tosses the chair at Darcy’s head but Darcy with enough conscience of mind was able to catch it! But it looks like that’s what Justin had in mind all along because he just roundhouse kicked the chair into Darcy’s face, and Darcy falls backward into the plexiglass once more, but this time she crumbles like a stack of bricks! Darcy May Morgan is barely moving, and this allows time for Justin Windgate time to regain his strength as he’s still feeling the effects of those kendo stick shots!

Persephone: She sure left some welts on this potheads body! Ah, he’s probably high right now so all the edge must’ve already been taken off, because he’s smiling. Maybe deliriously, can’t tell.

James Peters: Justin is now pulling a table out from under the ring, he immediately begins to unfold the legs about ready to prop it up at ringside. Things sure are getting extra interesting folks, and I don’t believe either of these competitors wants to be on the receiving end of what’s still to come! Darcy is finally able to pick up her head, and her face looks like a mess! She’s been busted open! Justin sees the damage he’s caused, and sees that Darcy is slow to get to her feet. He looks eager to take further advantage of this situation as he gets to his feet and heads right for the downed Darcy May Morgan! Justin begins pounding away at the open wound of Darcy, like a shark that smells blood! She’s trying to block the shots, but already Darcy is looking weaker and after a moment Justin is showing full control and dominance!

Rich Russillo: Darcy is definitely in a tight spot right now, but Justin warned us all that just because this was Darcy’s brand that he wasn’t going to let her lay waste to him this week. Justin Windgate is out to prove that he’s not showing up just to play the game. He’s in it to win it, and fitting how this week he stated that many of their past battles have been won by Darcy but that the war was still far from over, when War Games is right around the corner!

James Peters: You are right about that, Rich! The former New Breed and National Extreme Champion is taking it right to ‘The Leading Lady’! Now Justin has her up and he sends Darcy crashing into the steel steps with such velocity! Now Justin reaches under the ring this time, and surprise surprise, he’s found himself a kendo stick now and at a time when Darcy isn’t able to stand. She’s out on her knees at the moment trying to figure out where she lost control.

Persephone: My guess is that’s how she sounds when you hit her as hard as Justin just hit her with that kendo stick! She kind screams like a hyena being whipped with a Chastity belt, but it’s not happening to me so I do approve.

James Peters: Of course you do, Seph. Justin just took a pretty good swipe at the exposed arm of Darcy May Morgan! Now he takes another swipe, this one to her leg! Now another one to her back and these shots are taking their toll on her, no doubt about it! Now Justin is going for those steel steps that he forced Darcy into earlier, and he has the most sadistic look on his face as he does. I don’t like this one bit!

Rich Russillo: I don’t either, and poor Darcy. Justin now has those steel steps in hand and he raises the steps up high as Darcy finally takes notice, and Justin is fixing to get ready to end Darcy May Morgan’s career right here!

James Peters: Darcy evades the contact, however, and Justin misses with the steel steps! Darcy slid into the ring before it was too late, and now she’s trying to take advantage of the situation! Darcy charges right for the ropes! SUICIDAL SPEAR THROUGH THE ROPES TACKLES JUSTIN WINDGATE TO THE GROUND ON THE OUTSIDE! DARCY IS BUSTED OPEN BUT IT’S CLEAR SHE STILL HAS PLENTY OF FIGHT LEFT IN HER BODY! SHE’S GOING FOR A STEEL CHAIR UNDER THE RING! SHE’S GOT A HOLD OF ONE AND SHE IMMEDIATELY PICKS UP ON HER OPPONENT WHO HAS STAGGERED BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER HAVING THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HIM MOMENTARILY!

WHACK

CRACK

Rich Russillo: DARCY JUST TEED OFF ON THE HEAD OF JUSTIN WINDGATE, AND NOW THE MAN THAT’S REPRESENTING SHOWDOWN IN THE WAR GAMES MATCH IS DOWN!! HE’S TRYING TO SHAKE OFF THE EFFECTS OF THOSE CHAIR SHOTS TO THE HEAD BUT TO NO AVAIL! JUSTIN HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN ON THE TOP OF HIS SKULL AND BLOOD BEGINS TO RUN DOWN HIS FACE!! DARCY, SHE’S GOT A POSSESSED LOOK ON HER FACE! NOW IT TURNS TO ONE FULL OF RAGE AS SHE NOW POUNCES ALL OVER JUSTIN’S OPEN WOUND!

Persephone: EWW!! GROSS!! Hope they stay over on that side! Maybe they can donors for the nearest bloodbank.

James Peters: Darcy just delivered the FACE ACHE on Justin on the ramp and he goes tumbling back down to the ground, but he’s trying to rise back up and Darcy is right on top of it as she throws another forearm which sends Justin staggering back as both competitors take the fight up the ramp! The referee has been letting quite a bit go, but that’s what you’d expect in a match like this, however, the match can still only be won in the ring and he’s given the indication of that as a reminder to both Darcy and Justin.

Rich Russillo: Now Justin is starting to fire back shots at Darcy, but Darcy fires back quickly! Hair pull takedown by Darcy and you can just see the determined look on her face, she definitely doesn’t want to be shown up on her own brand just before the big tri-brand event, Territorial Invasion, she’s looking to send a message!

James Peters: Darcy goes for the FACE ACHE again, but Justin avoids the contact this time and…SPEAR! SPEAR!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST SPEARED DARCY WITH EVERYTHING HE HAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ENOUGH TO TAKE THE WIND OUT OF DARCY’S SAILS MOMENTARILY! JUSTIN IS BEING CHECKED ON BY THE REFEREE AS HE CAN BE SEEN SHAKING THE OFF THE EFFECTS OF THOSE TWO CHAIR SHOTS!

Rich Russillo: They’re trying to kill each other before the big weekend!

Persephone: Ah, let’em! At least my sexy Rexy’s smart enough not to put himself at risk before a big event. He’s so much smarter, he would never.

James Peters: I’m sure both of these fine competitors will make to Territorial Invasion, it’s just a matter of what condition they’ll be in by then. Neither is willing to let this one slip away so easily. Right through the week both emphasized the importance of this match, and they’re now showing that everything they said holds true! Justin now laying into Darcy with a few boots to her ribs, and she’s feeling each one!

Persephone: Wow. Boring. Can’t this match go to commercial, but like continue? I’d much prefer to watch that than this. Neither of these two bleeding is exactly eye opening stuff, especially given the brand we’re on.

James Peters: Justin now leaves the ramp way off to the left, and now quickly he returns with an electrical cord! And now he’s wrapping that cord around the neck of Darcy, he’s trying to choke her out! The referee seems to be intervening this time, trying to get both competitors back to the ring!

Rich Russillo: He’s definitely failing miserably at his job! Justin just may choke Darcy out right here! Hey what’s this!!?? Darcy just took a nearby fan’s cell phone away! Or did they give it to her?? Is that legal?? Either way she just turned on the bright flash to take a picture! She just took a selfie!

James Peters: That wasn’t just any old selfie, Rich! She clearly knew what she was doing when she did it because she just momentarily broke Justin’s concentration, and now she just headbutted Justin with the back of her head colliding with Justin’s face and he releases the cord! Darcy now turns around with the cell phone and gets ready to take another photo of Justin.

DMM: (off mic) Don’t you know how to treat a lady? Apparently not, so let me show you what the consequences are.

Rich Russillo: What the hell!!?? Darcy just took another photo with the cell phone which ignites another bright flash, TALK TO YOU NEVER!!! THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH WITH THE CELL PHONE IN HAND!! I THINK SHE JUST BROKE THE CELL PHONE OVER JUSTIN’S HEAD AND DOWN GOES JUSTIN AGAIN! THE NEARBY CROWD HERE AT THE PERFORMANCE CENTER ACTUALLY APPEAR TO HAVE APPROVED OF THAT!

James Peters: Now Darcy is dragging Justin back toward the ring by his hair, finally the referee appears to be getting some order restored to this matchup! Darcy May Morgan has retaken control of this match and Justin Windgate might be in big trouble here! Darcy rolls Justin, the lethargic and wobbly Justin I might add, back into the ring where he does look worse for wear. Everything he’s dished out he’s had thrown right back at him, but Darcy is the one standing large and in charge of this situation!

Rich Russillo: Right! Darcy is clearly showing how much more she wants this! Voltage pride is on the line, and she wants to be riding a high going into the War Games match! Look she’s going for the cover!

Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…

Persephone: Ok, stoner, we get it. You’re tough already, but please stop all this nonsense and just end this boring affair. It’s doing nobody any good, I guarantee you that.

James Peters: Darcy slides back out of the ring and pulls up the ring apron curtain again, and this time she pulls out a trash can lid and places it in the ring and then goes after something else as well. She’s definitely got evil intentions in mind for Justin given what he’s done to her in this match, and I think she remembers every bit!

Rich Russillo: She just pulled out a 2×4!!?? She’s definitely looking to leave some permanent damage, and Justin Windgate is back to his feet! He sees what’s going on and his first instincts are to grab the trash can lid but it’s too late! Darcy nails Justin in his ribs with that 2×4!! He’s really smarting after that but he still managed to toss that trash can lid at Darcy’s head, but she drops the 2×4 just in time to catch it! Justin dropkicks the trash can lid right into the face of Darcy May Morgan which sends her stumbling backwards into the corner! Justin clubs her over the head again, and again! Darcy is a sitting duck!

James Peters: But Justin stands Darcy back up in the corner. He’s throwing some of the most vicious shots at Darcy that I’ve seen anyone throw, and Darcy is dazed once more. Justin goes for RUN IT UP!! THAT MOVE PLANTED DARCY MAY MORGAN!!

Rich Russillo: HE PLANTED HER FACE FIRST ON THAT TRASH CAN LID! JUSTIN IS ROLLING HER OVER FOR THE COVER!!

Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…TH-

James Peters: And ‘The Leading Lady’ kicks out!! Justin knows it too, and he’s showing a bit of an exasperated expression right now, but he’s also trying to not let this rattle him. Both competitors are stretching their limits, and now it’s just a matter of who can finish who. Justin is looking to end it with The CLASSIC ENDING! NO! DARCY WITH A STEP UP KNEE STRIKE THAT MISSES! JUSTIN WAS ABLE TO SIDESTEP IN TIME! JUSTIN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! HE DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE BY DARCY! HE TURNS IN ONE MOTION AND FINALLY CONNECTS WITH THE CLASSIC ENDING! NO HE DOESN’T! DARCY REVERSES IT! DON’T DISS DARCY!!! BUT JUSTIN BLOCKS THE ATTEMPT! HE HAD IT SCOUTED!! SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP BY WINDGATE! DARCY IS DOWN! JUSTIN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AGAIN! SMOKE BOMB! ROLLING THUNDER ON DARCY MAY MORGAN! JUSTIN WITH THE COVER AGAIN!

Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…THRE-

Persephone: Ugh! Really!!?? Why’d that bitch have to toy with my emotions for nearly three seconds to make me believe she’s dead? I just don’t get the concept. But for reals, this match went down the shitter a long time ago in my opinion. These two are also really trying my patience right now!

James Peters: Darcy May Morgan rolls out of the ring, knowing she’s in a bit of trouble, meanwhile Justin is still trying to recover. Justin is using the ropes to stand back to his feet! When he turns around he sees Darcy has returned to the ring with a little surprise!

Rich Russillo: Her little friend! It’s the Cash In The Vault briefcase! Darcy charges right for Justin with the briefcase in hand! Darcy just tried to take Justin’s head off with that briefcase, but ‘The Xtreme Classic’ is going for THE CLASSIC ENDING! NOT YET! DARCY DROPPED THE BRIEFCASE JUST IN TIME! SHE JUST SHOVED JUSTIN WITH FORCE RIGHT INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE CHEST FIRST! OUCH!!

James Peters: DARCY NOW SETS JUSTIN UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHE’S SLUGGING AWAY AT THE HEAD JUSTIN WINDGATE! SHE’S CLIMBING UP WITH HIM, SHE’S LOOKING TO SUPLEX HIM! BUT NOW JUSTIN IS FIGHTING BACK! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST DELIVERED A HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN TO DARCY! ANOTHER HEADBUTT SENDS DARCY FALLING BACKWARD AND DOWN TO THE CANVAS! SHE’S NOT GETTING UP!! YOU CAN HEAR SOME BOOS FROM OUR SMALL CROWD THAT’S PRO VOLTAGE! THROUGH THE RED CRIMSON MASK AND ALL JUSTIN WINDGATE IS SMIRKING! HE’S ABOUT READY TO FINISH THIS!!

Rich Russillo: Yeah well, that may be but he’s still gotta officially get the pinfall or submission to escape here with the victory! Justin looks like he’s setting up for the X-Factor!

James Peters: WAIT A MINUTE! DARCY LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS PLAYING POSSUM!! SHE JUST SOMERSAULT ROLLED TO WHERE HER TRUSTY BRIEFCASE WAS, GRABBED IT, AND DELIVERED A SHOT RIGHT TO THE STOMACH OF JUSTIN! HE’S STAGGERED, AND NOW DROPS BACK DOWN AND GETS CROTCHED BY THE TURNBUCKLE! BUT HE’S NOT FALLEN OFF YET! DARCY USES THE BRIEFCASE AND CLOCKS JUSTIN IN THE HEAD ONCE MORE AND FINALLY JUSTIN FALLS OFF AND STRAIGHT INTO THAT LONG STRETCH TABLE THAT WAS SET OUT EARLIER!

Rich Russillo: I SWEAR JUSTIN WINDGATE HAD LIKE AN HOUR TO FINISH HER OFF, BUT HE TOOK TOO LONG AND NOW HE’S PAYING FOR IT WITH A BUNCH OF PRICKLY THORNS STICKING INTO HIM, AND HE’S OUT!

Persephone: Thank God, for the first time I feel like my wish is actually going to come true about this match finally ending! Thanks for playing kid!

James Peters: DARCY WASTING VERY LITTLE TIME AS SHE GRABS JUSTIN UP AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING! SHE’S TIRED, SHE’S WEAKENED, BUT DARCY MANAGES TO HOOK THE LEG OF JUSTIN WINDGATE!!! THIS SHOULD BE IT!!!

Ref: ONE!!!…TWO!!!…THREE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Spotlight Saviour’ by Iggy Azalea plays through the loud speakers of the Performance Center as Darcy May Morgan receives a mixed reaction, but more cheers than boos, even as she resorted to using her trusty briefcase to get the victory. Bloody and all she allows the referee to hold her hand up to acknowledge her as the winner while she holds the Cash In The Vault briefcase up high with her free hand.)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…MS. CASH IN THE VAULT…DARCY!!! MAY!!! MORGAN!!!!!!

Persephone: Good riddance!

James Peters: It was anything goes and both of these competitors took complete advantage of the rules being thrown out and laid into one another with anything and everything they had and could find at their disposal!

Rich Russillo: That they did, but Darcy clearly outsmarted Justin in the end, and that’s why she ended up being the winner!

James Peters: We’re all winners in this situation, Rich! It was a great match with two outstanding performers showing off their brawling and fighting abilities aside from their overall wrestling prowess, and you really can’t take away from any one competitor compared to the other because they both had their chances. Justin has been looking forward to Territorial Invasion for a few weeks now, and despite his loss tonight he has another chance in War Games to right the ship as a representative of the Showdown brand! As for Darcy, ‘The Leading Lady’ now has the momentum she’s needed going into TI and will look to continue it as she does everything in her power to lead Team Voltage to victory!

(The crowd continues to cheer for Darcy as she continues to celebrate in the ring, Justin slowly getting up to his feet in a sitting position blowing loose strands of hair away from his face, having a look of displeasure as he does so. But before long surprisingly the crowd bursts into cheers)

Rich Russillo: WAIT! IT’S JACK RIPLEY! XAVIER WILLIAMS! JACK ENTERS INTO THE RING AND BLASTS DARCY FROM BEHIND AS XAVIER WASTES NO TIME JOINING IN AND STOMPING DOWN AS WELL! BOTH OF THEM ARE PROTECTING THE VALOR OF THEIR OTHER SHOWDOWN WARGAMES TEAMMATE, JUSTIN WINDGATE AS TEAM SHOWDOWN HAS ARRIVED!

James Peters: But I don’t think it’s going to work out for them for long! CAUSE HERE COMES DRAKE KING AND MALCOLM JONES RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP AND COMING TO HELP THEIR TEAMMATE! MALCOLM QUICKLY LEAPING FORWARD UP OFF THE ROPES, AND LEAPS RIGHT IN AS HE SEPARATES RIPLEY FROM THE GROUP AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND DRAKE KING FROM RINGSIDE GRABS XAVIER AND PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING AND LOOKS TO THROW HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! BUT LOOK! JUSTIN IS UP NOW AS HE’S LEAPING FORWARD LOOKING TO HELP HIS TEAMMATE!

Rich Russillo: BUT I DON’T THINK DARCY IS GOING TO STAND IDLE EITHER AS SHE’S BACK UP TO HER FEET AND QUICKLY ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AND SEPARATES JUSTIN AS BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING AT IT AT RINGSIDE! THE WARGAMES VOLTAGE AND SHOWDOWN TEAMS ARE MERCILESS TONIGHT!

James Peters: BUT IT SEEMS SECURITY IS NOT GOING TO HAVE IT TONIGHT! THEY’RE QUICKLY RUNNING OUT AND LOOKING TO SEPARATE THE TWO TEAMS AS THIS IS CLEARLY GOTTEN OUT OF HAND! MULTIPLE GUARDS ARE TRYING TO SPLIT THE SEPARATE BRAWLS APART AS I THINK THEY’VE MANAGED TO STOP!

Persephone: Wait a minute… one, two? Look I don’t keep myself informed around these parts, isn’t there one more team? Uh… Empire? Battleground? I dunno…

Rich Ruussillo:: Well I think we might just have our answer!

(Suddenly the video screen on the stage clicks on, as the faces of Mr. DEDEDE, Impact, and Serena Bennett are seen. Not bothering to join the brawl in the ring all of them are looking at each other and laughing. Some of the members of each team take notice to the screen as Security continues to hold them all back as Team Dynasty watches on from the screen. It is only till after a few moments in which a voice is heard.)

Mr. DEDEDE: Pathetic.

(Which is the only thing heard behind all the laugher as the video tron slowly fades off, and so does the camera as well as the last shot seen is the separated brawl in the ring)

(Commercial for EAW 2k21.)

(‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef hits, and SOSA Henderson begins making his way out to the stage. As the socially distanced crowd begins to boo, SOSA begins walking down the ramp with the same confident smirk on his face after what occured in his Voltage match last week, as well as a microphone in his hand. As SOSA enters the ring he waits a few seconds for the crowd to quiet down, and soon after begins to speak.)

SOSA Henderson: Bruh, what was that last week Rex? ‘Cause to me it looked like once again I managed to outsmart you when I got the pin for our team. It’s funny. You do all this talkin’ about me not being Championship material and all that other shit but this is the second time now where I got the better of you. I thought you were supposed to be the model wrestler? The guy everyone’s supposed to look up to? Spent all this time actin’ like you’re the perfect EAW Champion and soon you’re not gonna be Champion at all. Time after time I’ve shown that I can outsmart you, and in a street fight I’ll be right in my element. I just pinned one Champion, and in a week I’ll pin another one and take what’s rightfully mine. I told y’all since the very start of this season I’d be aiming for the top, and now look where we are. Now I’m one week away from winning the EAW Championship, and getting the spotlight I deserve. I’m the biggest star on the Voltage roster, and once I finally become the EAW Champion the ratings are gonna skyrocket a way they never have before, because I’m the one these people want to see Rex, not you. I have all the tools to be the greatest Champion in the company. All I needed was the opportunity, so thank you Rex. Thank you for putting your title on the line, because now your boring ass will go down in history as the reason I finally become a World Champion in EAW. That title’s gonna look real nice around my waist, and it’ll be nice not having someone as plain and boring as Rex holding the top title on Voltage.

(‘Champion’ by Barnes Courtney hits as soon as SOSA finishes speaking, and this causes the socially distanced crowd to burst into cheers. Soon after Rex McAllister begins making his way down to the ring with the EAW Championship around his waist and a microphone in his hand, and he doesn’t look amused or impressed with the things SOSA has said just now. As Rex enters the ring he immediately begins to speak, clearly bothered by what SOSA did last week.)

Rex McAllister: SOSA, you’re a coward. You know exactly why you chose to face me in a street fight of all stipulations. You can’t beat me in a straight up wrestling match. You’ve never been able to outwrestle me, and that’s why you did what you did to get this match in the first place. It wasn’t about outsmarting me, none of this was about that. You knew you couldn’t beat me, and you were so desperate for an opportunity that’s what you had to resort to. Now in a street fight where anything goes, you can get away with doing whatever you want. You can pull off whatever cheap tactics you see fit in order to win the EAW Championship, and that’s why you chose that stipulation isn’t it? You wanted this to be a street fight so you wouldn’t have to outwrestle me, but it won’t work. I stand by the things I’ve said. You’re not Championship material, and if you ever do win another Championship in EAW it won’t be at my expense. You won’t outsmart me, you can’t outwrestle me, and you’ll never take the EAW Championship from me. Instead, at Territorial Invasion you’ll learn what it means to be a Champion after seeing why I am the best wrestler on the planet.

SOSA Henderson: Dude I ain’t got nothing to prove, especially not to you. I do gotta question this whole thing about you being the best in the world though. I just don’t see it breh.

(Rex raises his fist, showing off his hall of fame ring before beginning to speak again.)

Rex McAllister: Imagine thinking I’m the one with something to prove here. I’m the EAW Champion and a hall of famer for a reason Rex, and that reason is because I put in the work. I’ve done everything necessary to make it to the top of the mountain, and I know what it takes to be a Champion. Real Champions don’t take breaks. Real Champions are always motivated and they stay hungry, but you wouldn’t get it. If you did maybe you would’ve been a World Champion already. I think you do have something to prove SOSA. You need to prove whether or not you actually do have what it takes to hang with guys like me. Tagging yourself in at the end of our tag match and getting the win was nice and all, but that’s not going to win you the EAW Championship. I’ve worked too hard to get here, and if Myles in sadistic madness wasn’t enough to take this away from me I don’t see you doing any better. I’m going to beat you at Territorial Invasion, SOSA. Hit me with your best, I promise it won’t be good enough. I’m going to retain the Championship I’ve earned, and after that you’ll be going nowhere but the back of the line. I’m not scared of a street fight stipulation. Now you’re just going to lose in the match you asked for with the stipulation you chose.

(SOSA and Rex begin getting closer to each other, standing face to face until SOSA shoves Rex away, making his way to leave through the ropes as he raises his microphone to speak once more.)

SOSA Henderson: Aight, we’ll see motherfucker. I’mma see you at Territorial Invasion, and after I take your belt I may just take your girl and fuck her too-

James Peters: OH! LOOK AT THAT, REX JUST PUNCHED SOSA IN THE FACE! SOSA JUST FELL OUT TO RINGSIDE, AND I DON’T THINK I CAN BLAME REX FOR THAT! SOSA didn’t have to say that, he definitely took things one step too far!

Rich Russillo: One step? That was a boundary SOSA shouldn’t have crossed, he earned that one if you ask me. I get he’s trying to get in Rex’s head, and it might’ve actually worked, but that wasn’t right at all. Rex clearly didn’t take that one too kindly, I can only imagine what’s going to happen at Territorial Invasion in a street fight.

Persephone: I don’t know… If SOSA takes Raven Rexy will be single again 😍! I say SOSA should go for it, but after he loses to Rex.

James Peters: There’s a time and a place Persephone. SOSA’s disrespected Rex for a while now, but that was too much.

(SOSA holds his jaw for a bit, before beginning to grin while picking up his microphone. Soon after he gets back up while slowly making his way up the ramp, looking at Rex the entire time while laughing.)

SOSA Henderson: Bet. I see you Rex. Keep that energy, and we’re gonna tear it up at Territorial Invasion.

(‘Champion’ begins to play again as SOSA continues making his way up the ramp, still holding his jaw. Rex doesn’t look happy with SOSA after bringing up his wife, as he just stares a hole in SOSA Henderson. As SOSA makes his way to the back and Rex stays in the ring, Voltage begins to fade away from the performance center.)

[EARLIER THIS WEEK]

(Team Brand Warfare all met together at Minerva’s caravan that she travels in, the huge RV by the shores of New Jersey where they set a campfire, all huddling around it. They were drinking beer, roasting some marshmallows, making S’mores, and really trying to continue the bonding process. Ahren Fournier, Terry Chambers, TLA, Myles and Minerva had a pretty rough last week on the shows, from Dynasty to Voltage, things hadn’t gone there way, it was a chance to regroup, to collect their thoughts and get on the same page. Camaraderie in a match this big was key and the Voltage team felt like they were really starting to click. Their experience with “Country Cookin’”, while it ended badly for the five fighters it did bring them closer as a unit and now with all the teams vying to get momentum heading into the last shows before Territorial Invasion, they needed to stick to the plan, one that no one ever thought would come to fruition, working together as one solidary unit.)

Minerva: Do you need help?

Myles: Huh?

Minerva: With the S’mores? You seem to have trouble putting it together.

(TLA, Ahren and Terry watch as Myles sits next to Minerva, she reaches over and grabs the stick, then his hand showing him how to put the Graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate bar together. She cracks a smirk while his eyes wander to the other three, TLA takes a sip of his Corona.)

TLA: Pay attention vato, she’s teaching you how to have a sweet hand.

Myles: Shut up TLA.

(Terry, TLA and Ahren chuckle some, Minerva just smiles, grabbing his hand and putting the S’mores over the fire.)

Minerva: There, now let it melt to your desire and consume.

Myles: Never really ate any of this stuff.

Ahren Fournier: We can tell.

Terry Chambers: I’m going to have to pass, diet, you know.

TLA: Pinche buey, stop being such a sissy, look at it this way, it’s a cheat meal. We all are entitled to S’mores, beer, hookahs all hosted by a Gypsy, how many times can you say that you’ve done that? Come on, Consuela is probably out with Harlow, Raven, Jake, and SKA right now figuring out what to do for fun. Raven been broken since Minerva fucked her world up at Pain For Pride, SKA was so shitty on Voltage they moved that vato to Showdown, Harlow thinks she is badder than what she really is, Jake Smith?

(They all collectively groan.)

TLA: Si mon, exactly. Trust me Terry, Consuela is more worried about getting those four in line to worry about you hanging out with us eating sweets and drinking cerveza, lighten up carnal.

Ahren Fournier: He is right, Jennipurr is at home right now waiting for daddy, but even I know this is more important after what has happened the last few weeks. I do not like being told by PETA that I am an abuser and…. By the way thank you Minerva for putting that bitch in her place.

(She winks at Ahren.)

Myles: Yeah, I second that, thanks for dropping her on the head.

Minerva: That was my thanks for covering me up when those assholes from Dynasty jumped us at Kensingten’s whatever that was.

(Myles nods, he was acting on instinct and maybe more. Minerva sees some marshmallow stuck on his beard, she gently takes it off, he turns to her and nods, as she bites the bottom of her lip, where he quickly gazes over at TLA and Terry who are laughing and elbowing each other.)

Myles: Really?

Ahren Fournier: Why don’t you two just make out already.

(Minerva clears her throat and starts to giggle; Myles is beet red and blushing.)

Myles: Okay, look we have a huge match to win and we need to concentrate on that mates, alright? Team Dynasty is not playing dating games right now.

Minerva: They can’t, unless it is one huge sausage party.

TLA: I love this heina right here!

Ahren Fournier: I always wondered about Christopher. Charlie seems like the kind of man who would rule the prison block. I am still trying to figure out what a MITSUBASHI is and does Khamsin not have the ugliest facial hair in existence?

Terry Chambers: You know Ahren, I must agree, he has like pubes on his face. He looks at Charlie in jealousy. We can’t forget Xander.

(Myles scoffs at the sound of his name, Minerva rubs his back some to calm him down.)

Myles: That bloke would have already eaten all the S’mores, fat shit. When I get my hands on him at Territorial Invasion, he’s going to regret he ever crossed me.

Minerva: I think they will ALL regret they crossed us, Myles.

Ahren Fournier: Let us all be frank and honest here, I am a GOAT, but as I look around at our team, I will say, we are ALL GOATS. It doesn’t matter if we were beat down by Showdown and Dynasty? Look at their teams, Harlow and Raven didn’t even want to be a part of this, Raven didn’t even want to be on Showdown. SKA is a blowhard, talk and talk and talk, Jake Smith has little man syndrome. Consuela is….

(Terry turns giving Ahren a sharp stare.)

Ahren Fournier: A very attractive woman that you sir will have to decide when Territorial Invasion rolls around.

Terry Chambers: There is no decision that has to be made, I’m Team Voltage. Give me the chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers, damn it.

(TLA chuckles, handing him over the stuff to make a S’mores, as they sit there for a moment in silence, cooking their treats until Minerva breaks the silence.)

Minerva: I couldn’t imagine fighting my loved one, that must be really awkward when you two go back to the hotel that night, did you guys like book separate rooms?

Terry Chambers: Really Minerva?

Minerva: I mean, unless you two are into that kinky rough shit.

Terry Chambers: Consuela is not you.

(She smirks, as Myles lets out a chuckle. Minerva stands and surprisingly sits on his lap. He doesn’t know what to do, freezing in place while TLA toasts with the beer in hand.)

TLA: See THAT is Team Camaraderie! We can all sit around here and diss each other, diss the other teams but know that when it comes to war, we are ready to kick some serious culo. Terry, mi amigo, you got a tough match ahead on Voltage, Xander Payne and Harlow Reichert but don’t you worry, we got your back.

Ahren Fournier: Yes Terrence! Represent! Do it for the Team and we will be right there to support you and make sure that Team Dynasty and Team Showdown are kept at bay.

Myles: Beat the hell out of that bastard, Terry. I’ll be right there ready to throw some licks in.

Minerva: We have faith in you big guy, even if you are dating an Ava.

(They all start to laugh as Terry shakes his head and starts eating his S’mores.)

TLA: I would like to propose a toast, to mi amigos on the Voltage Brand Warfare Team. We got the one thing the other Teams do not have….

Ahren Fournier: Me!

TLA: Besides you vato. Ahren, you are our Team Captain and a GOAT, we have all had our differences with you and maybe at the very beginning all of us were very wary of teaming with each other, but buey, you got our respect.

Ahren Fournier: And you all have mine, even if Minerva tried to blind me.

Minerva: Sorry?

Ahren Fournier: Sure, you got rid of PETA. Forgiven.

TLA: See? That is what I am talking about, and Terry, chingon you have come a long way mi amigo, and as we team at the Grand Prix, together as partners, I think I speak for everyone that you were the right choice for this team and proved it at Bloodsport.

Terry Chambers: Thanks brother, all I want to say to the rest of my team is this, I bleed yellow, like the rest of us, nothing will stand in our way of victory.

(TLA turns to Myles and Minerva.)

TLA: To the cutest couple in the EAW…

Myles: We are not a couple.

Minerva: No, we are not….. yet.

(Myles eyes widen as Minerva smirks.)

TLA: Myles, you are machine, carnal. Watching you in the ring is mastery, and when it was announced that you were the third member picked for this team, everyone knew future World Champion or not, you were the right man for the spot. And Minerva? I know you were pissed about losing the Universal Women’s Championship to Serena Bennett, but like you stated, new doors opened, and it brought you here, with the rest of the rasa. We didn’t know what to think of you, because well you kinda creepy and shit, but you know what heina, you’re a pretty cool Gypsy.

Minerva: Gracias.

Myles: Thanks mate.

Ahren Fournier: And finally, to you TLA! We will all party at the Poon Palace when we walk out as the victors! Do not worry about not winning the Briefcase at Bloodsport, they are a shit show, and we will be the GOATS of Voltage!

(They all raise their hands with beers in their hands and toast.)

Everyone: TEAM VOLTAGE!

(The Voltage Brand Warfare Team continues to mingle, drink and eat their S’mores, ready for whatever comes their way, but one thing is for sure, they will be ready at Territorial Invasion, to bring home the victory to the Yellow Brand.)

(Promotional ad for Territorial Invasion, this time featuring the fifteen Elitists competing in the Brand Warfare match.)

(The scene cuts back to the ring, the cameras coming upon Bella Braxton as she stands inside the ring with a microphone in hand, ready to announce!)

Bella Braxton: The following triple threat match is scheduled for-

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(“It Follows” by Cane Hill beings to play and the crowd ignites into boos, as Xander Payne walks out with a chair in hand while shaking his head at the reaction before he starts to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada… weighing in at 255 pounds… XAAAAANDERRRRR PAAAAAYYYYNEEE!!!

James Peters: Representing Team Dynasty tonight, Xander looks to get his team some momentum going toward Territorial Invasion!

Rich Russillo: But I’d like to think our own Terry Chambers is going to put a stop to that! Xander is someone who surely has a bigger and brighter future in EAW, but tonight doesn’t belong to him here on Voltage; this is our territory 😤!!

Persephone: You know who’d have this won without a doubt? Rex!

(Xander enters the ring waving off the fans who continue to boo him, and turns to face the stage in anticipation of his opponents. he lights inside the arena dim, and the fans fall quiet. A purple spotlight shines on the stage as “Eye of the Tiger” by New Found Glory begins to play across the PA system. The fans start a mixed reaction with her comments about Voltage in mind, as Harlow Reichert steps onto the stage and into her own spotlight.)

Bella Braxton: Next, from Christchurch, New Zealand… weighing in at 137 pounds… HAAARRRLLOOOWWW REEEIIICHEEERRRT!!!

Rich Russillo: I got the sense this week that Harlow doesn’t wanna be here on Voltage :lupe:

Persephone: Good! That’s one less person I have to worry about thinking they can take what belongs to Rex!

James Peters: Her not wanting to be here may be the case, but regardless, I’m sure she’ll do her part to make this an incredible match!

(Harlow casually enters the ring, looking disgusted with whatever comments Xander Payne may be directing toward her that can’t be heard over her music. Rolling her eyes, she takes a spot in the ring away from Xander when suddenly, “Natural” by Imagine Dragons begins to plays and the crowd roars with cheers as Terry appears!)

Bella Braxton: And finally, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 257 pounds…. TEERRRYYYY CHAAAAMMMBEEERRRRS!!!

Rich Russillo: Knowing that the rest of Team Voltage is counting on him to win tonight, I can feel that Terry is gonna bring this win back to Team Voltage!

Persephone: The guy sheds all those extra pounds, gets an Ava to give him a makeover, and suddenly we’re counting on him to follow through on something?

James Peters: A lot of people underestimate what Terry can truly be capable of! He’s faced some significant setbacks in the past, but the Terry that we’re all seeing today is a Terry that people want to see succeed and accomplish his goals, with plenty of people wanting to believe he can do it :wow:

(Terry enters the ring across from Harlow and Xander, a determined expression on his face as he looks back and forth between the both of them for a moment before the referee calls for the bell!)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Persephone: Truthfully, I hope both Harlot and Xander Lame manage to get injured tonight for the shit they had to say about Voltage!

James Peters: :whoa: No one agrees with what they had to say and no one’s hoping for all that, but maybe they’ll realize eventually how wrong they-

Persephone: But nothing! Rex McAllister is the EAW World Champion, the face of Voltage, and they think they can just come here after talking shit about his show?! If Terry wants to make himself useful, he’ll take them both out!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT’S XANDER PAYNE WHO TRIES TO GET THE HEADSTART AS HE SWINGS THE CHAIR AT HARLOW, BUT SHE DROPS DOWN IN TIME TO AVOID IT AND ROLLS OUT THE RING!

James Peters: Xander yells for Harlow to return to the ring so he can put her down with a chair shot, but she’s not having it, instead pointing behind Xander, who turns around-

Rich Russillo: RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE!! TERRY KICKS THE CHAIR RIGHT BACK INTO XANDER’S FACE!!! I CAN’T TELL IF THE DENT IS FROM HIS BOOT OR XANDER’S FACE; IT’S UGLY EITHER WAY!!!

James Peters: THE CHAIR DROPS OUT OF XANDER’S HANDS AND HE GOES DOWN, TERRY THROWING HIMSELF ONTO XANDER TO MAKE THE COVER!!!

ONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!

Persephone: But Harlow enters back into the ring and breaks it up for whatever dumb reason! I thought she’d do the smart thing and just leave; it’s not like she wants to be here on Rex’s show anyway.

James Peters: She might not care for Voltage, but she’s a competitor at heart and I don’t think letting the impression be that she’s not going to do her part is necessarily something she wants looming over her.

Rich Russillo: Harlow brings Terry off of Xander after rattling him with multiple forearms to the face, and gets him to his feet in an effort to whip him across the ring into a corner! But Harlow steps up onto and jumps backward off the middle turnbuckle for a back elbow-

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS CATCHES HARLOW IN THE AIR AND THROWS HER TO THE MAT WITH THAT RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! HARLOW COMES CRASHING DOWN AFTER SOARING THROUGH THE AIR AND TERRY RACES OVER, COMING DOWN WITH AN ELBOW DROP!

Rich Russillo: But he only ends up driving his elbow right down to the mat! Harlow rolls out the way just in time and Terry clutches at his arm just long enough for Harlow to capitalize with a dropkick to the side of the head!

James Peters: Harlow manages to get a hold of Terry before he can go rolling too far away- DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX TO THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION! Harlow slams him to the mat and she goes for the quick cover!

ONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!

Persephone: Xander, unfortunately, puts himself back into the picture and drops all that weight onto Harlow to break the pin with that jumping senton. Just call the match off now, there’s no way either of them is getting up from having the weight of the world literally come crashing down on them like that!

James Peters: Xander looks none too pleased over having been taken out earlier, and right now, that could mean trouble for Terry and Harlow! Xander quickly scoops Harlow up off the mat and slams her down onto Terry, before getting two handfuls of hair to fling her over into a corner!

Rich Russillo: Xander turns his attention to Terry, taking him up and over with a snap suplex to the opposite corner across from Harlow! Payne positions the chair that’s still in the ring in front of Terry’s face, being sure to get in a few stomps before taking off in the opposite direction- CANNONBALL SENTON TO HARLOW!

James Peters: XANDER ROLLS OVER TO GET TO HIS FEET AND TAKES OFF TOWARD TERRY!! LOW DROPKICK TO THE CHAIR AND IT COLLIDES WITH TERRY’S FACE!!! XANDER PUSHES BACK UP AND GOES BACK AT HARLOW TO HIT THE SAME MOVE WHILE SHE’S STILL SEATED IN THE CORNER!

Rich Russillo: XANDER POINTS TO TERRY WHILE THE CROWD BOOS AND HE CHARGES INTO THE CORNER- TERRY ROLLS OUT THE RING! XANDER CRASHES INTO THE CORNER HITTING NOTHING BUT THE CHAIR! Xander squirms on the mat as he holds his back-

James Peters: Terry yanks him out the ring but only after having dug under the ring to get something for himself, and lets Xander thud to the ground! XANDER SHOUTS OUT IN PAIN MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD AS TERRY STRIKES WITH A KENDO STICK SHOT! TERRY BRINGS IT DOWN ON HIM AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

Rich Russillo: HE JUST MIGHT BREAK THE DAMN THING SWINGING ON XANDER! XANDER HAS TRIED TO CRAWL AWAY BUT TERRY REFUSES TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO BREATHE! The Dynasty Elitist manages to pull himself up with the help of the apron after taking a hit to the back, and he turns to face Terry who’s ready to swing-

James Peters: XANDER DUCKS UNDER IT AND HARLOW STRIKES TERRY DOWN WITH A KICK FROM THE APRON! HARLOW NOW LOOKING TO DIVE OFF THE APRON AT XANDER AFTER HE ENDED UP BEHIND TERRY, BUT XANDER DUCKS DOWN AND SHE MISSES HIM COMPLETELY BEFORE CRASHING TO THE GROUND!

Rich Russillo: XANDER QUICKLY GRABBING A HOLD OF HARLOW AND HE TAKES HER OVER TO THE STEPS! BACK SUPLEX TO THE EDGE OFTHE STEEL STAIRS! HARLOW TAKES ALL OF THAT TO THE MIDDLE OF HER BACK AND SHE COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND JUST IMMEDIATELY AFTER!

Persephone: Honestly, she had it coming for being dumb as hell to think that she’s the best pure wrestler when Rex exists right here on Voltage and can succeed at literally everything; there’s no doubt in my mind that he’d expose the fuck out of her.

James Peters: Well, Rex isn’t here and this isn’t exactly that type of match-

Persephone: Maybe Rex should be here, and put these boring amateurs in their place because Terry sure as hell isn’t getting it done.

James Peters: Meanwhile, as much as Harlow would prefer anything other than this type of setup, someone like Xander is gonna exploit it every step of the way! He leaves a table down on the ground there at ringside before he slides two chairs into the ring along with a fresh kendo stick, followed by rolling Harlow into the ring right after!

Rich Russillo: Harlow being the wrestler that she is, goes to try to bring herself up using the ropes but finds herself getting lifted up off the mat as Xander kneeled down behind her to get her onto his shoulders! INVERTED ALABAMA SLAM ONTO THE CHAIRS! HARLOW GOES FACE-FIRST RIGHT INTO THOSE CHAIRS XANDER PUT INTO THE RING!

James Peters: HARLOW HAS NO TIME TO REACT AS XANDER STOMPS ON THE BACK OF HER LEGS BEFORE STANDING ON THEM AND SECURING THEM IN PLACE! HARLOW GETS LIFTED UP INTO THE AIR IN A SURFBOARD AS XANDER TAKES HIMSELF BACK TO THE MAT!

Rich Russillo: The ring official is right next to Harlow asking if she wants to give up; she can’t tap out as Xander has a hold on both arms as well! But Harlow isn’t going to give someone like Xander Payne the satisfaction of making her tap out like this! She shouts out “no” to the referee but Xander just pulls harder on her arms!

James Peters: But Harlow is still trying to fight out! She’s shifting her arms the best she can… and she’s free! Harlow raises herself up while Xander still has her raised with his own legs- HARLOW GETS OUT AND DROPS TO THE MAT WITH A HOLD ON XANDER’S LEG! SHE TRAPS HIM IN A SECURED HEEL HOOK AND XANDER IS ALREADY SHOUTING OUT WHILE HE’S REACHING FOR THE ROPES!

Rich Russillo: XANDER TRIES TO SWING AT HARLOW BUT SHE’S LAID BACK ON THE MAT WHILE SHE’S GOT HIS FOOT CAUGHT, WELL OUT OF REACH! XANDER PUNCHES AT HER LEGS BUT SHE’S REFUSING TO LET GO EVEN STILL!!

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THEIR LEGS TO BREAK THE SUBMISSION! Terry stomps down on Xander now and then Harlow, before getting one of the chairs she’d just gotten well-acquainted with and positioning it between the middle and top turnbuckles!

Rich Russillo: He turns back around to go bring Harlow off the mat and she’s flung over Terry’s shoulder! But she slips down and shoves him forward into the corner but Terry is sure to stop himself! He turns around and Harlow surges forward with forearm after forearm, transitioning to chops as she gets him in the corner! NOW KICK AFTER KICK AND STOMP AFTER STOMP!

James Peters: HARLOW IS HOLDING NOTHING BACK AS SHE GOES IN ON TERRY, LEAVING HIM WITH NOWHERE TO GO- EXCEPT NOT! TERRY JUST PUNCHED THE SHIT OUT OF HARLOW JUST NOW AND SHE GETS FLOORED!

Rich Russillo: Harlow moves to get up off the mat as Terry’s already coming at her, but she rolls on the mat into the corner, ducking under that big boot! Harlow gets up just as Terry turns around and he rushes into the corner looking for a shoulder thrust-

James Peters: HARLOW JUST PLAYED AND OUTSMARTED TERRY, AS TERRY COLLIDES HEAD-FIRST WITH THE CHAIR HE PUT IN THE TURNBUCKLES! HARLOW LIFTED HERSELF UP JUST IN TIME AND NOW SHE ROLLS DOWN TERRY’S BACK INTO A ROLL-UP- NO! SHE RELEASES THE PIN AND TERRY’S HEAD NEARLY SNAPS THE HELL OFF FROM THAT SUPERKICK RIGHT AFTER!!

Rich Russillo: TERRY IS STUNNED FOR A MOMENT ON HIS KNEES BEFORE HARLOW SHOVES HIM TO THE MAT AND HARLOW GRABS THE LEGS FOR THE PIN!!!

James Peters: BUT XANDER GRABS HER BY HER HAIR AND THROWS HER OUT THE RING, AND XANDER TURNS BACK TO GO PIN TERRY!!!

ONNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRR-

James Peters: TERRY KICKS OUT! Xander gives a frantic look to the referee, clearly thinking that was worth a three count, and he gets over Terry to start pummeling his face with punch after punch! Xander is hellbent on breaking Terry’s face open!

Rich Russillo: But Harlow rolls back into the ring, shoving Xander off of Terry and shouting at him for trying to capitalize off her efforts just a few moments ago! Xander smacks the mat, yelling right after back at her for putting her hands on him just now before he shoves her back!

James Peters: Harlow scoffs in disbelief before she shoves him back; she’s not here for the disrespect she’s getting shown! Xander doesn’t continue their petty shoving contest, instead firing right at her with a right hand!

Rich Russillo: But Harlow clobbers him right back! Xander catches her in the face again but Harlow does the same! Xander lunging forward looking for a clothesline but Harlow ducks and he takes a spinning back kick as soon as he turns around, Harlow running the ropes now and jumping at him!

James Peters: Xander catches her! Xander shows off his strength by launching Harlow up onto his shoulders- TERRY SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES AND FLIPS FORWARD CONNECTING WITH THAT RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER!! HARLOW ENDS UP UNDER XANDER IN THAT FORCED SAMOAN DROP AND TERRY IS THE ONLY ONE MOVING!

Rich Russillo: Terry grabs Xander up and hits an exploder on Xander! That sends him into a corner of the ring, and he tries to follow up but Terry takes a kick to the face! Terry’s merely stunned however and he goes right back on the attack- HAPPY PILL! THE LITERAL HEAD-TO-HEAD COLLISION STOPS TERRY IN HIS TRACKS AND NOW A URANAGE BACKBREAKER FROM XANDER OUT THE CORNER TO PLANT TERRY ON THE MAT!!

ONNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHRRRRRRRR-

James Peters: Terry kicks out but Xander looks to stay in control as he pulls the former champion into a side headlock, applying as much pressure as he can while bringing him to his feet! Terry takes them into the ropes trying to push off but Xander hasn’t let go! Terry tries to lift him up, but here comes Harlow-

Rich Russillo: XANDER LEAPS UP GETTING HIS LEGS AROUND HARLOW’S HEAD, STILL HOLDING ONTO TERRY AND XANDER TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A HEADSCISSORS-HEADLOCK COMBINATION!! THE AGILITY :wow:!!!

Persephone: Um, hello? This is Voltage? Let’s not act like Rex hasn’t done anything more impressive.

Rich Russillo: :lupe: We WOULD like to see Terry take this one for Voltage, but it’s still a good match nonetheless! Xander is the first to get up, flooring Harlow with a clothesline before Terry spins him around and clocks him with an uppercut!! Xander stumbles back and Terry takes off looking for a discus clothesline but Xander ducks and Terry goes aiming for a kick instead- BUT XANDER CATCHES THE LEG AND RAKES HIS EYES!

James Peters: XANDER KICKS TERRY IN THE STOMACH AND NOW PULLS HIM IN! XANDER RAISES HIM UP FOR A SPINNING BRAINBUSTER, BRINGING TERRY DOWN RIGHT ON HIS HEAD AND ONTO ONE OF THE CHAIRS IN THE RING!

Rich Russillo: XANDER PICKS UP THE SECOND CHAIR AND SLAMS IT DOWN ON TERRY! AND AS HE SEES HARLOW COMING HIS WAY, HE DRIVES THE TOP OF IT RIGHT INTO HER STOMACH TO DOUBLE HER OVER BEFORE HE BRINGS THE CHAIR DOWN ACROSS HER BACK!

James Peters: Harlow drops to her knees and Xander tosses down the chair, grabbing her by her hair to get her up but Harlow punches him in the stomach! She strikes again trying to ward him off and manages to connect with a knee that allows her to escape, and she reels back after getting out his grasp!

Rich Russillo: SEISMIC SAITO!!! XANDER CATCHES HER WRIST AND LIFTS HER UP INTO THE AIR JUST TO BRING HER DOWN ON THE BACK OF HER NECK AND HEAD; THAT SAITO SUPLEX WAS DEVASTATING!!! AND NOW HE TURNS OVER TO MAKE THE PIN!!

ONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEE-

Persephone: How is this bitch still alive?

James Peters: The fans have got to be wondering the same thing! Harlow Reichert seemed down and out for the count, but maybe on instinct and the refusal to let Xander win, she got her shoulder up!

Rich Russillo: Xander raises up arguing with the referee, who doesn’t want any trouble! He proceeds to head out the ring and grab that table he had dragged out earlier, and now he’s trying to bring it into the ring! Xander hauls it up and approaches the apron-

James Peters: TERRY WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE TO THE TABLE TO KNOCK XANDER DOWN! Terry turns to grab the down Harlow and he carries her all the way over to the corner, setting her on the top turnbuckle! Terry climbing up after her looking to suplex her from that position but Harlow has the wherewithal to keep him from following through! Terry clubbing her over the back hoping to get some leverage, and Harlow starts fighting back!

Rich Russillo: HERE COMES XANDER LEAPING UP ONTO THE APRON AND RUNNING OVER- TERRY KICKS HIM DOWN WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! BUT THAT ALLOWS HARLOW TO SHOVE TERRY DOWN! AND XANDER ROLLS INTO THE RING THIS TIME INSTEAD GOES AFTER TERRY!! Terry battles back and lands that discus clothesline, then plucking him up off the mat and whipping him into the ropes for a huge tilt-a-whirl backbreaker!!!

James Peters: Terry stomps down on Xander’s back as he turned over and he follows up with a running knee as he tried to sit up! Terry brings him to his feet in an attempt to whip him across the ring!

Rich Russillo: But Xander is quick to fight him off as he swings wildly out of it and- HE SHOVES TERRY INTO THE ROPES!! TERRY COMES BOUNCING BACK FOR THE LAST SEDATION!!

James Peters: BUT HARLOW CHOP BLOCKS XANDER BEFORE HE CAN HIT IT!! HE DROPS TERRY AND HARLOW GRABS THE KNEELING XANDER FROM BEHIND, TWISTING HIM AROUND AND PULLING HIM INTO THAT LARIAT!! HARLOW GRABBING TERRY JUST IN FRONT OF HER AND SHE HAULS HIM INTO THE AIR FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, AND ROLLS OVER INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!!

Rich Russillo: HARLOW FINDING SOME MOMENTUM AND SHE’S LOOKING TO KEEP IT! BUT XANDER RISES UP TO GRAB HARLOW FROM BEHIND AS SHE COMES OFF THE MAT- NO! XANDER TAKES A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE AND SHE JUST STIFFED HIM WITH THAT KICK!! HARLOW PULLING HIM IN NOW AS WELL!! AS I LAY DYING!!! SHE’S SURE THAT XANDER’S HEAD HITS OFF HER KNEE AS HE COMES DOWN FROM THAT BRAINBUSTER AND SHE MAKES THE COVER!!!

ONNNNNNEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!

James Peters: TERRY JUST BARELY BREAKS UP THE PIN!!!

Rich Russillo: Harlow and Terry turn over looking at one another, obviously knowing that things are wearing down and those shots from that chair have done their damage! And Terry looks over, taking up that kendo stick that was brought in and Harlow looks annoyed by its presence alone, causing Terry to smirk AND HE SWINGS-

James Peters: HARLOW DUCKS AND RUSHES TO HER FEET TRYING TO GET THE EARLY ADVANTAGE! SHE GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK BUT TERRY SWERVES OUT THE WAY AND TAKES HER OFF HER FEET FROM BEHIND WITH A BACK SUPLEX!! TERRY GRABBING THE KENDO STICK AGAIN AS HARLOW SLOWLY GETS UP AND A BIG BOOT SHOVES HER BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES, HARLOW SPRINGING BACK INTO A SHOT FROM THE KENDO STICK TO THE STOMACH!

Rich Russillo: THAT STRIKE WAS SICKENING! TERRY SWINGS AGAIN BUT HARLOW STAYS ON HER FEET AND NOW SHE’S HIT ACROSS THE BACK! Harlow yelps and turns away going to the corner, Terry following after her and he raises the kendo stick to swing again!

James Peters: BUT SHE KICKS HIS ARM AS IT WAS COMING UP AND HE DROPS THE KENDO STICK! TERRY GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT HARLOW CATCHES HIS ARM AND TURNS INTO AN ARM WRINGER, AND SHE FALLS BACK INTO A DOUBLE KNEE ARMBREAKER!

Rich Russillo: Terry gets taken down to his knees and Harlow snatches his arm up away from his side as he’s clutching at it, driving her knee right into it! Harlow keeping a hold of the wrist as she wrenches on it but Terry aims to pull her in for an attack! BUT HARLOW LEAPS UP INTO THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE!! HARLOW TAKES HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE!!

James Peters: TERRY’S REACHING OUT TRYING TO ESCAPE, AND WHILE HAVING USED NO WEAPONS, HARLOW COULD BE CLOSING IN ON VICTORY! HARLOW TRIES TO KEEP THEM CENTERED IN THE RING, BUT TERRY SEEMS DETERMINED TO GET OUT!

Rich Russillo: TERRY USING HIS FREE ARM TO TRY TO TRUDGE WITH ALL OF HARLOW’S WEIGHT THAT’S DRAGGING HIM DOWN AND HE’S REACHING-

James Peters: XANDER DRIVES THE EDGE OF THE CHAIR RIGHT DOWN AGAINST HARLOW’S THROAT! Xander leaves from the ring seeing that they’re both down and is finally able to get the table into the ring with no one stopping him, and now it’s just a matter of setting it up!

Persephone: Honestly, if it means finally ending this, I’m not against it!

James Peters: Xander goes to get his hands on Harlow and he sends her off into the ropes, Harlow springing back! SHE GETS POPPED UP!! BUT TERRY PREVENTS HER FROM GETTING THROWN DOWN! Terry raises her up and sends her over Xander, Harlow taking Xander down with a sunset flip but Xander manages to roll out of it onto his feet-

Rich Russillo: A MOMENT OF SILENCE! TERRY HEADBUTTS THE HELL OUT OF XANDER AS SOON AS HE COMES TO STAND AND HE SENDS HIM FALLING BACK TOWARD THE ROPES!! Xander keeps himself up by hooking his arm over the top rope and Terry charges at him, looking to take him out with a big boot!

James Peters: XANDER PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND TERRY GOES OUT OVER IT, HITTING THE FLOOR!! Xander looks down at the fallen Chambers, while inside the ring, Harlow looks to the table that’s still set up. She looks around at the crowd with them cheering her on for her to use it, but she rolls her eyes and flips it over, wanting nothing to do with it!

Persephone: And here I thought she was supposed to be smart; it would’ve been the easiest way to end this!

James Peters: She’s obviously out to win this her way if she’s going to do it, and prove a point at the same time! She’s fared well thus far in nearly accomplishing that, and now she’s set her sights on Xander just as he turns around! He pulls himself up to his feet and the two of them circle the ring-

Rich Russillo: XANDER AND HARLOW CHARGE RIGHT AT ONE ANOTHER!!! BUT THEY COME TO COLLIDE BY TAKING EACH OTHER OUT WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!

James Peters: Both of them are down and have just barely moved away from each other, the referee looking to see which of them will move first-

Rich Russillo: THE CROWD STARTS BUZZING AS COMING OUT ONTO THE STAGE, IT’S MINERVA! THERE’S MYLES, TLA, AND AHREN ALSO! It’s Team Voltage coming to the ring and they climb onto the apron, all of them choosing a side of the ring so that it leaves Xander and Harlow with nowhere to go, and Terry’s come to join them as well!

James Peters: TEAM VOLTAGE RUSHES INTO THE RING AND THEY START JUMPING XANDER AND HARLOW!!! TERRY, AHREN, AND TLA STOMP THE HELL OUT OF XANDER WHILE MINERVA AND MYLES GO RIGHT AFTER HARLOW!!! AND LOOK, THE REFEREE IS GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY AND CALLING FOR THE BELL AS HE’S LEFT THE RING!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Persephone: :blessed: Team Voltage coming through for me in one of the most needed times, and now we can get the fuck out of here-

James Peters: KHASMIN, CHRIS ELITE, CHARLIE MARR, AND MITSUBACHI!!! IT’S TEAM DYNASTY!!!!! THE FOUR OF THEM STORM DOWN TO THE RING AND ROLL INSIDE, GOING RIGHT AFTER TEAM VOLTAGE!!! THEY’RE PULLING EVERYONE OFF XANDER AND EVEN TAKING DOWN MINERVA AND MYLES FROM BEHIND AS WELL TO EVEN THE ODDS!!! THESE TEAMS ARE RELENTLESS GOING AFTER EACH OTHER!!!

Rich Russillo: AND COMING FROM BEHIND IS TEAM SHOWDOWN!! CONSUELA, SKA, JAKE SMITH, AND RAVEN ROBERTS ARE ALL RUSHING DOWN TO THE RING AS WELL!!! AND THEY’RE WASTING NO TIME GOING AFTER THEIR TERRITORIAL INVASION OPPONENTS!!!!

James Peters: FIGHTING OFF TEAM SHOWDOWN’S ARRIVAL, I CAN’T TELL WHO’S WHO AND WHO’S DOING WHAT!!! THIS IS PURE CHAOS!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET CONTROL OF THIS AS THE ACTION SPILLS OUT THE RING AND WE’VE GOT ELITISTS BRAWLING OUTSIDE AS WELL AS INSIDE!!!

Persephone: We really have to do this now? This is literally a hostage situation; I just wanna go home :mjcry:

Rich Russillo: :damn: TERRY CHAMBERS JUST THREW THE TABLE OUTSIDE THE RING AND TEAM VOLTAGE’S FUTURE OPPONENTS OUTSIDE OF IT ARE JUST NARROWLY MISSED!!! XANDER AND HARLOW HAVE GOTTEN BACK UP AS WELL, FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE ONSLAUGHT AGAINST THEM AND THEIR TEAMMATES, AS ALL THREE TEAMS ARE REFUSING TO BACK DOWN!!!

James Peters: I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT THE BRAND WARFARE MATCH WILL LOOK LIKE NOW!!! THIS IS MADNESS!!! THERE ARE BODIES EVERYWHERE!!! BUT THE CROWD IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS AND I’M RIGHT THERE WITH THEM; TERRITORIAL INVASION IS GOING TO BE AMAZING :blessed:!!!

(Persephone can be heard suddenly shrieking as she, James, and Rich have to quickly move out the way, as one of the leftover chairs from the match comes flying out at them, causing them to clear the commentary table!! Inside the ring, the cameras cut to various angles for a few seconds at a time, getting glimpses of various Elitists beating the absolute hell out of their rival brands Elitists and certainly living up to the Warfare part of the name!! With a raucous crowd still buzzing and all the members of the brand teams still fighting, the scene begins to fade out on an overhead shot of the chaos that’s still ongoing in and around the ring!)

(EAW logo buzzes.)
