(33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is heard playing up as the Helsinki Halli Arena in Helsinki, Finland is seen lighting up with an array of beautiful pyro. The crowd is on their feet in excitement as the camera goes over to the announcers desk.)
Rich Russillo: We are just TWO weeks away from Territorial Invasion, welcoming you all to another EXCITING episode… of SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!
Persephone: Woo.
James Peters: We have a SHOW for you tonight! Along with the build to Territorial Invasion continuing, we have matches such as Bea Valentine facing Rex McAllister, Valerie Hellstorm facing Jack Ripley, Ava Warfare, Charlie Marr facing Cy Henderson, and our main event with the World Champion in action! Drake King facing Dr. Bethany Blue! Let’s not waste anytime!
(Voltage fades over to the stage, and ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn hits. As the music plays Cameron Ella Ava would begin walking out to the stage, but she’s not alone. She’d be joined by the Unified Tag Team Champions POTARA, Donovan Duke, and Michael S. Connor, making up the entirety of Voltage’s brand warfare team. The fans cheer loudly for the team, and the five Elitists on the stage are seen holding microphones in their hands. They begin walking down the ramp, heading to the ring as the cheers continue.)
James Peters: This is the team that’ll be representing Voltage in the brand warfare match, and I have to say that this will be a very interesting team. One thing we know for sure is that none of the people on this team have a real problem with each other, which is something we know has hurt some Brand Warfare teams over the past few years. This could possibly be the winning team, especially with the talent involved.
Rich Russillo: I know Cameron Ella Ava believes that’ll be the case. Everyone on this team is either a current or former Champion with the exception of Michael S. Connor, who shocked all of us with a victory over Holly Arrow. This team has a strong chance, and I’m sure part of the reason they’re out here is because of what happened over this past weekend.
Persephone: What happened?
James Peters: What? Do you not know? They were on Dynasty just two nights ago, attacking SOSA Henderson during his match against Harper before getting into a fight with team Dynasty.
Persephone: Oh. I didn’t miss anything then.
(All five Elitists enter the ring as the cheers continue. Cameron Ella Ava, the Captain of the team, stands in the center of the ring with Donovan Duke and Michael S. Connor to her left and Harper Lee and Holly Arrow to her right. Before long, Cameron begins to speak.)
Cameron Ella Ava: The Dynasty crowd got to see us in action a little earlier than everyone else, but needless to say, our team is already on the same page. I’m sure everyone was excited seeing that brawl on Dynasty but I can promise you all that what happens at Territorial Invasion will be completely different than what happened on Friday night, because my team will be walking out of the brand warfare match on top. My team will be winning the brand warfare match, and we’ll be returning to Voltage having given this show yet another win in a match this brand seems to win every single year. I can’t speak about the past, but seeing the other two teams there shouldn’t be any questioning why we’re the winning team. Here on Voltage, we don’t need to argue over who deserves spots on the team. We don’t need to fight over who the Captain of this team is. There isn’t any animosity between the members of this team. There isn’t any history that’ll get in the way of our victory at Territorial Invasion. Neither Daryl nor Camille have this match figured out the same way I do, otherwise they would’ve put some more thought into their teams. They would’ve put some more thought into how they do things now that they’re in charge.
Cameron Ella Ava: I thought real carefully about who I wanted on this team, which is why when Harper and Holly asked for a spot I knew I wanted them on the team. They’re the Unified Tag Team Champions. These two alone will have better team chemistry than just about anyone on Dynasty and Showdown’s teams, and along with them is the longest reigning National Elite Champion Donovan Duke. The same man that has proven that he has what it takes to be a World Champion. The same man who just last year competed in the brand warfare match. We all know just how valuable he’ll be to this team, just like we now know what Michael S. Connor is capable of. Even without the same experience in these big time matches with high stakes that the rest of us have, Michael proved his worth just last week. The other two Captains haven’t thought things through the same way I have. The other two teams won’t compare to team Voltage when it’s all said and done. We have the talent, we have the team chemistry, and tonight I’ll be giving us momentum over the other two teams by defeating both of my sisters.
(A smirk appears on Cameron’s face as the fans cheer loudly.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Of course, it’s not that I don’t expect them or anyone else on the other two brands to put up a fight. I understand how the brand warfare match works, and it’s not easy by any means. In fact it’s probably one of the more competitive matches in EAW every year, but that’s not going to be a problem for us, right?
Holly Arrow: Of course not. There’s a lot of other people in this match that may have more of a problem once things become tough, but that’s not an issue with us. After all two of the people on this brand warfare team have competed in the match before, and if that’s not enough, Harper and I defended these titles in a fatal four way back at Pain for Pride and successfully retained. I’m sure you can’t name many teams that were able to retain their titles with the odds stacked against them like that, but we did it. You’re not wrong, Cam. We have better team chemistry than anyone on the other two brands can offer. Showdown’s team is already a bit of a mess, and I’m not too sure anyone over on Dynasty can actually stand each other. The only other “team” in the entirety of brand warfare is the Ice Aces, and while they may know how to work together, they’re not POTARA. They don’t do this at the same level that we do. Since Harper and I first started teaming up we’ve been a tier above the rest of the division, so a match like brand warfare is perfect for us. A match where we’ll be able to show just how good of a team we are against former World Champions, Hall of Famers, and even other tag teams is exactly what we need.
(Holly takes a few steps forward, removing her Championship from around her waist as she continues to speak.)
Holly Arrow: Harper and I still have yet to lose a single match while working together. Putting POTARA on your team means winning, because we just don’t stop until we have our hands raised. We do whatever is necessary to get what we want, and we showed everyone just what that means back at Bloodsport. I have history with a lot of the people on the other brands. I once faced Ms. Extreme for the Universal Women’s Championship. I obviously know Chris Elite very well, and there’s also ARIA and Usagi. I have history with many of our opponents, and I definitely know what they’re capable of. I’m confident that this team can win the brand warfare match. Harper and I wouldn’t have asked to be part of the team if we thought we didn’t have what it takes to win. We wouldn’t have thrown ourselves into a match like this if we didn’t think the Unified Tag Team Champions were a good enough team. We’re already committed to being the best team on the planet, so winning a match like this will just be another step towards us proving ourselves.
(Holly raises her Championship as the fans cheer. Harper does the same, and she begins to speak as she places her Championship on her shoulder.)
Harper Lee: After Dynasty I now have a bit of unfinished business. There’s no telling whether or not I’ll even see SOSA Henderson in the brand warfare match, and that really just says more about the state of that team than anything else. I don’t know what kind of mess Ms. Extreme is running over there but while they’re still trying to figure things out we already have the best team here. It doesn’t really matter whether they get the guy we pinned to win the Unified Tag Team Championships or MITSU, because neither of them will do team Dynasty much good. It really says a lot when there’s only ONE team in this match that has absolutely zero issues. You don’t see me fighting with my team over who should be the team Captain like I did last time around, and you definitely don’t see anyone running down the ramp to argue that they’re more fit to represent Voltage than the people we have on our team right now. THIS is team Voltage, and more importantly, we’re the team that’s gonna leave the brand warfare match with a really nice win. I’ve been waiting for this win for a while now, and I know I’m not the only one.
Harper Lee: Just like there are a bunch of guys like Daryl and Chris that have been in the brand warfare match before on the other two brands, Donny and I want the chance to get the wins we weren’t able to in the past. Not gonna speak for him, but I know when I was in the match I deserved that win. I knew I was good enough but clearly my team and I weren’t on the same page and that ended up costing us. That’s not gonna be a problem this time around. We’re not gonna have the same issues my team had last time I was in the brand warfare match and there definitely won’t be anyone holding us back. If Scotty can somehow pull off a win against Holly then even he’ll be a good addition to the team, better than I’m sure some of our opponents will be expecting. Some people just don’t get it. They think the brand warfare match will be like any other match, and it’s not that simple. Cam already made the best decision possible when she chose the best tag team in EAW for a match centered around teamwork. The other two brands just can’t compare to us. They’re not as good as us, and they’ll probably tear themselves apart before we can even eliminate them. :mjlol:
(Harper laughs, meanwhile the fans continue to cheer as they show support towards team Voltage. Donovan Duke walks up to the ropes, leaning against them as he looks at all of the fans in attendance. After taking a few seconds and giving it some thought, he begins to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Only a few weeks ago I was competing for the EAW World Championship. I could’ve kept feeling disappointed over what happened back at Bloodsport, but Cameron offered me an opportunity, one that I had no good reason not to accept. Heading into the brand warfare match, it’s exactly like Harper said. I’ve done this before. I know what it’s like competing in this match, and I can’t say I wouldn’t have liked to win back when I was in it last year. Back then I was still the National Elite Champion and I understand just how meaningful it would’ve been to successfully represent my brand at a time like that in my career, but now I have another chance. Now I can do what I wasn’t able to back then, and even better, I can take the necessary steps towards a future Championship opportunity. None of this will actually be easy, but if we have the best team chemistry, we have what it takes to overcome the great challenges in front of us, and we all put in the necessary effort to survive in a match like that… What’s stopping us from winning at Territorial Invasion?
(A smile appears on Donovan’s face as he continues to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Harper and I have competed in Brand Warfare. Holly is one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions. Cameron is a legend who has seen more in this business than many of the people in this match, and Michael S. Connor has such a promising future that his addition to this team is going to be a really great help. Harper had the chance to compete on Dynasty against what turned out to be a potential member of team Dynasty, while I faced Theron Nikolas and Scott Diamond back on Showdown. We had the opportunity to test ourselves, and I’m sure that’s going to be very important heading into brand warfare. All we need is to be prepared, and when it comes to being ready for a match like this we’re definitely a few steps ahead of the other two teams. Like everyone else has said there haven’t been any problems between us, so while everyone else is focused on settling their differences with each other, we’ll just be focused on picking up the victory.
Michael S. Connor: It’s an honor being given this kind of opportunity, and being viewed in this kind of light. Truth be told I did not expect to be treated with this kind of respect. In an industry like this you have to learn to expect anything, especially given the way things played out last season back on Showdown. Heading into Territorial Invasion however I’ve been given the opportunity to represent my current brand while doing my best against Elitists who’ve established themselves years ago. I don’t take something like that lightly, and I won’t be bringing anything but my very best when the time comes for us to enter the ring. I understand the significance of this match, and I know what it’s like to compete in matches that can get out of hand very quickly. Just a few months ago I took part in the Grand Rampage and had the opportunity to experience that kind of chaos. In a match like this, I’m sure I’ll be able to at the very least live up to the expectations given to me and help this team leave with the victory we’re all looking for.
(The fans cheer, and Michael S. Connor looks towards the other members of his team before continuing.)
Michael S. Connor: I said prior to my match against Holly that the most beneficial outcome to me would be for Holly to leave that match telling Harper that I put up more of a fight than expected. I believed the best possible outcome would be me showing Holly something she didn’t think I was capable of, but in the end things turned out even greater than I thought could happen. I’m grateful for that and I can’t say enough just how glad I am to be given this opportunity. I don’t expect things to be easy from here. In fact I’m sure there’s a number of competitors on the opposing teams that’ll look down on me, however I plan to do exactly what I did last week. I plan to give this match my all, and maybe even surprise a few of our opponents along the way. Regardless of the outcome I plan to deliver at Territorial Invasion. This is a great opportunity for all five of us to advance our careers and move up the ranks. I’d like to make good use of the chance I was given, and make sure that when it’s all said and done I was chosen to represent Voltage for a reason.
(As the cheering continues, it’s Cameron Ella Ava that begins to speak once more.)
Cameron Ella Ava: The other two teams will need all the luck they can get, because as far as I’m concerned they’re already at a very significant disadvantage. None of the other two teams can do this right now. None of them can stand here and say they’re actually united. One team isn’t even completed yet thanks to SOSA Henderson and MITSU both wanting a spot, and we all know what’s been going on over on Showdown. The fact that leadership qualities was even a discussion over the past week is funny, because come Territorial Invasion I’ll be the only Captain actually capable of leading their team to victory. I’ll see Camille and Candice later on tonight when I defeat them, and afterwards we’ll be moving on to winning the entire brand warfare match.
(Cameron turns and begins walking out of the ring, and ‘Good For Her’ begins to play once again. The fans are heard cheering still, and the four remaining members of team Voltage follow Cameron, exiting the ring and beginning to walk up the ramp.)
James Peters: Well those were some bold words by the entirety of team Voltage, and it looks like they are all pretty confident in their chances of winning the brand warfare match! It’ll definitely be a tough match, but I can’t exactly say they’re wrong. I can see why they believe they have such a good chance.
Rich Russillo: I’m looking forward to seeing how this team works together in an actual match. We’ve seen parts of it with that brawl on Dynasty, and two members are already a tag team, but brand warfare is a whole different story. This is a really big match that will require the best out of all five Elitists, but it seems like they’ve promised exactly that.
Persephone: I really hate having my time wasted. Does the brand warfare match even matter? Can it just not happen? I think that’d be great.
James Peters: What? No. That’s not going to happen, not when all three teams are nearly complete. Anyways, I’m personally looking forward to Territorial Invasion, and seeing whether or not team Voltage is able to win just as they said they would.
(Team Voltage is seen walking up the ramp as the fans continue to cheer. As they’re all seen heading to the back, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(A commercial is shown for the live action reboot of Death Note on Netflix featuring EAW Unified Tag Team Champions POTARA.)
( Voltage makes a comeback after a quick commercial break, with the crowd now seated and getting themselves ready for tonight’s opening contest, broadcasting live all the way from Helsinki Halli Arena in Helsinki, Finland. )
Bella Braxton: YOUR OPENING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: YKSI KAATUMINEN!
( ‘The Spins’ by Mac Miller hits ththe PA system into a loud cheer from the crowd as Brianna Hill comes out with a big smile on her face, excitement evident for being here tonight in Finland in front of her lovely crowd. Brianna waves her hands at them while making her way towards the ring before ‘Too Old to Die Young’ by Brother Dege replaces her theme song and follows up. Mia Santotor slowly walks out, eliciting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Brianna stops by the front of the ring, looking back to Mia. Mia arrives by her side, smiling at her, taps Mia’s shoulder, then hops up to the apron and goes inside the ring Mia slowly heads up to her apron and begins standing there. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… THE TEAM OF BRIANNA HILL AND MIA SANTORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: These two women have been shining so brightly since they both made their debuts in EAW. Brianna has been doing quite well as a bright star and the future of Voltage’s women’s division, and Mia Santoro has been doing her own thing to ensure she maintains her reputation at the highest level. These two women have goals as newcomers there, and tonight, they’re up to face some of the best Voltage has to offer.
Persephone: Best WHO? These four are so fucking ASS.
( All the lights turn dark while both women anxiously stand in the ring as ‘The Perfect Girl’ by Mareux begins playing. Ruelr emerges from the shadows, through the smoke, and then slowly removes his mask while looking up at the two girls watching him from a distance as he stands tall on the stage. Ruelr stands there, then ‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ by Kid Cudi plays, and all the lights come back on as Alex Meyrs slowly walks out and comes to stand beside Ruelr. Alex and Ruelr look at each other before both competitors turn their eyes to the ring and make their entrance together. )
Bella Braxton: THEIR OPPONENTS!… THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Alex Myers and Ruler, two of the best friends who have deep connections with each other for a long, long time. Both of them have a rich history as well, and surely, this might be one of the strongest teams in all of EAW. You already know that friendship works better than teamwork, which makes dreamwork, so they definitely have a higher chance to pick up a win here tonight.
Persephone: Worst story in EAW. Ever.
( DING DING DING! )
Rich Russillo: This tag team match is finally getting underway. Alex Myers and Brianna Hill will be the two to kick this match off as the legal competitors of their respective teams. One team has a lot of experience, and both of them were former champions. On the other side, there are still fresh newcomers who just hit the block and are looking for a bright future ahead of themselves. Alex is someone who has earned a lot of respect from all around the world because of what they have done for this business and what they have done to earn that respect from all around the world. Brianna Hill has been receiving a well-responded feedback from the crowd so far, so these two have been respected by the surroundings in this competition.
James Peters: Alex now has their eyes focusing precisely on Brianna, just like her, who is also pretty much focused on Alex and looking forward to coming down and clashing with them at the moment. Alex and Brianna meet each other at the center of the ring, with Alex ducking underneath Brianna’s arm and locking her from behind in a waistlock, putting her right in a hold immediately! Alex has already been pretty fast in this competition and is always on point with what they need to face in every competition they have been a part of.
Rich Russillo: Alex has faced a lot of legends and a couple of former world champions, so Alex has never been the one to be underestimated, and every single one of their opponents always has to make sure that their focus is strong enough to take control in the match against the likes of Alex Myers. Brianna being tightly locked by a waistlock maneuver from Alex Meyers, Alex tries to tighten the hold there, but Brianna can loosen it and now sidesteps right about behind Alex, getting them into a waistlock and taking them down to the ground!
Persephone: Alex Midyers has always been ass like that, which is why this match is taking such a short time to take him down so easily. Hey, you know what? I already don’t like these two anyway, so thanks so much for booking a match where I can take a nap for the whole match!
Rich Russillo: Brianna focuses on making damage as she slowly releases Alex from her grasp and now starts going for their head, putting Alex right under one of her shoulders and having Alex locked up tightly in a headlock position. Brianna has been pretty technical against Alex so far in this match, so that shows a bit that her strategy in this competition is to be careful with what will come and slowly go step by step with who she is against. Brianna is well aware of Alex’s status here, so it’s not so easy for her to do whatever it takes to win this competition. She needs a plan here.
James Peters: Alex got themselves in a headlock position there, and now they are trying to figure a way out to get out of the hold and backfire on Brianna as soon as possible. Alex has their arms grabbing Brianna’s arms and they’re trying to pull her arms off their head there, but the hold is getting tighter there for Alex, putting them in quite a tough predicament to get out. Alex might need to put in some extra elbow grease in this competition to crack the code on this issue pronto. Ruler and Mia have their peepers locked onto their adversaries to gauge the current situation, while Brianna ensures she can hold the fort against Alex for an extended spell here.
Rich Russillo: Alex slowly moves up to their feet, and now it’s time for them to make a move, slowly swaying Brianna back to the ropes while being trapped in a headlock. Alex jolts forward, shaking off the hold as Brianna runs straight down into the opposite side of the ring and rebounds, Alex runs in and goes low underneath, Brianna skips over them, running to the opposite side.
James Peters: Brianna rebounds, Alex comes down and leapfrogs over her. Nice leapfrog!, Alex lies back down, but Brianna rebounds back up. Alex tries to send Brianna flying over them by using both feet to thrust her, but Brianna catches the legs, sending those legs rolling forward, and Alex ends up rolling back to their feet. Brianna steps forward, trying to take them down with a quick bulldog!
Rich Russillo: The bulldog might be biting nobody there, as Alex sends Brianna down to the corner instead right before she could even apply the bulldog on them. Alex shifts gears once more and charges towards Brianna, who had her back against the wall. Brianna, quick as a cat, leaps over the ropes and lands on the apron, evading Alex’s impending assault, leaving Alex feeling like they’ve hit a brick wall.
James Peters: Stunned by Brianna’s unexpected move, Alex takes a step back, reeling from the turn of events. Brianna grips the top rope as if it were her lifeline, and Ruler, attempting to swoop in from the sidelines, finds himself on the receiving end of a rude awakening when Brianna delivers a kick to his face! Brianna jammed Ruler with her right foot into his face and then turns her attention towards Alex.
Persephone: What is she thinking? Is she going to do something stupid for making that type of stupid decision like a stupid, asinine woman she is?
James Peters: Brianna might be aiming to bring this match to an early close with her signature, ‘Rift in Time,’ which was the name she gave to her very own Slingshot Rolling Thunder Flatliner but Alex wasn’t about to let her have it her way! Alex managed to seize her intention, lifting her clear off the canvas and sending her soaring high into the air!… FISHERMAN SUPLEX BY ALEX! DOWN GOES BRIANNA! COVER ON HER!
ONEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: KICKOUT BY BRIANNA!
Persephone: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Rich Russillo: Alex then had been able to fire back at Brianna there with a quick counter of a Fisherman Suplex when she was trying to bring this match close to an end and secure a victory, but Alex was still able to take the responsibility to bring it further away to make sure Ruler and Alex still have a chance to pick someone up today.
James Peters: Alex comes back from their slip with picking Brianna up from the ground together with them and now tossing them over to their team’s corner. Alex charges down towards Brianna, leaps into action, and lands a corner jumping clothesline, hitting her like a ton of bricks! Now, with the dust settled, Alex turns to Ruler….
( TAG! )
James Peters: Ruler has now become the legal member of his team and enters the fray by picking a fight with Brianna, raining stomps down on her like there’s no tomorrow! The more he releases the stomps, the faster the speed of his attack, leaving Brianna seemingly helpless in the corner of her team. Ruler drags Brianna out of the corner and then sends her soaring into the air, watching her crash down to the ground like a falling star with a Spinebuster!
Persephone: Oh wait, Ruler is also in this match? Right, I forgot about him completely, just like I don’t even remember when the last time he actually won a singles match. Oh right, I never watched or cared about him either way, so I don’t know about that either. I do remember he always came off as a creep, though!
Rich Russillo: Brianna has been shot down to the ground by a Spinebuster from Ruler. Ruler rises from the ground, getting back on both feet, and picks Brianna up from the mat. He then slowly thrusts her into the corner, backing away and delivering a side kick to her leg while she’s trapped in the corner.Ruler now makes his exit from the corner, leisurely pulls his hand back, and SERVES UP A BLISTERING CHOP RIGHT ACROSS HER CHEST! THAT’S GOT TO STING! I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE IN BRIANNA’S SHOES RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Persephone: We know that because of how much of a pussy you have always been for a whole entire life, you fucking loser.
Rich Russillo: Hey, that’s not very nice.
James Peters: Ruler then just connects with another chop as well, and now Ruler’s got her, sending her down to the ground with a snapmare. He backs himself into the corner, hopping up to the second rope while Brianna is down there, holding her chest and slowly recovering from the ground… A CROSSBODY LANDS AND TAKES BRIANNA RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS! RULER HOOKS THE LEG, AND HE GOES FOR A COVER ON BRIANNA!
ONEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BRIANNA’S SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!
Persephone: Yeah, you fucking dumbass, you can’t fight. Just give up and leave. Don’t even come back again or else because nobody ever wants to lay eyes on anything connected to you or any product that got thrown into the mix.
James Peters: Ruler’s quite disappointed in what happened in front of his eyes there, but he maintains his focus on this match. He quickly gets up after Brianna is able to kick out at the count of two, sending her to the ropes this time. Ruler swings a Discus Clothesline to take down Brianna!
Rich Russillo: Brianna is able to duck under Ruler’s arm and runs towards the ropes behind Ruler instead! Ruler misses and follows the lead wherever Brianna goes. Brianna launches herself off the ropes and quickly sends herself flying toward Ruler… SWINGING AROUND IN A BEAUTIFUL TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS THAT SENDS RULER FLYING ALMOST REACHING THE CORNER!
James Peters: RULER GETS A TASTE OF HUMBLE PIE! HE RISES FROM THE ASHES, STILL SEEING STARS FROM BRIANNA’S UNEXPECTED TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS. AS HE STUMBLES BACK TOWARDS HER, HE TRIES TO SWING FOR THE FENCES WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT BRIANNA STINGS HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT NEARLY KNOCKS HIS BLOCK OFF!
Rich Russillo: ALEX STEPS INTO THE RING AND MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE DOWN BRIANNA AS WELL, BUT BRIANNA MANAGES TO EVADE THE ATTACK COMING FROM ALEX! ALEX THROWS A LARIAT, BUT THEY MISS AS BRIANNA DUCKS, TURNING AROUND AND CATCHING ALEX WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING ALEX CRASHING AGAINST THE MIDDLE ROPE DOWN THERE!
Persephone: Oh, and now here comes this idiot trying to help their so-called friend or whatever they want to act like this is fucking Wattpad’s wrestling melodrama, and they failed, being taken down by this dumb, ugly ass bitch as well! But go off, guys, yay! Let’s even get dumber around here!
Rich Russillo: BRIANNA HOPS BACK UP ONTO THE MAT AND SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES, PROPELLING HERSELF TOWARD THE ROPES AND REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM…. ‘HOTLINE’ 619 TIGER FEINT KICK BY BRIANNA! BRIANNA JUST HANDLES TWO OF THEM ALL BY HERSELF, AND MIA HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HER TO MAKE A TAG AT THE APRON! MIA REACHES OUT FOR A TAG, AND BRIANNA SLOWLY CRAWLS DOWN TOWARDS HER, LOOKING TO MAKE A TAG WITH MIA SANTORO!
( TAG! )
James Peters: Mia enters the ring, and she immediately goes up against Ruler, who is already down there in the ring! Mia throws punch after punch at Ruler, who steps back, trying to evade the powerful strikes from Mia. Mia has Ruler lying against the ropes, sending him flying to the opposite side of the ring behind him. Ruler bounces back and DROPKICK TAKES RULER DOWN! RULER PICKS HIMSELF UP, FINDING HIS FEET LIKE A SHIPWRECKED SAILOR IN THE CORNER, AND GINGERLY GETS BACK ON HIS HORSE, LEANING AGAINST THE CORNER, ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT HIS WITS!
Rich Russillo: MIA RETREATS FROM HER CHARGE, THEN CHARGES IN. RULER PLAYS THE MATADOR, DODGING HER ONSLAUGHT WITH A KICK SENDING HER BACK INSIDE! RULER CLIMBS THE ROPES LIKE A MONKEY SCALING A TREE AND THEN TAKES A FLYING LEAP, AIMING TO CATCH MIA IN THE CROSSHAIRS WITH A SPRINGBOARD ATTACK!
James Peters: CUTTER! MIA CATCHES RULER WITH A CUTTER! RULER IS DOWN! MIA ATTEMPTS FOR A PINFALL ON HI!M
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
James Peters: RULER KICKS OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!
Persephone: Best thing she has ever done, I guess.
James Peters: Mia really came close to wiping up the win in this match for her team against the former champion, but Ruler just managed to kick out at the very last second out of the cutter from Mia! Mia has everything under control there, still in command. Now she rises back up on her feet and picks Ruler off from the ground by his wrist… MIA HAS A HOLD OF ONE OF RULER’S WRISTS AND SHE HOOKS RULER IN, ATTEMPTING ‘BLACKEST HOUR,’ A SWINGING FISHERMAN NECKBREAKER ON RULER!
Rich Russillo: SUPERKICK BY ALEX MYERS! ALEX THROWS THEMSELVES INTO THE MATCH AND MAKES A SAVE JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME RIGHT BEFORE MIA COULD APPLY THE MOVE! BRIANNA ENTERS THE RING AND SHE TRIES TO STRIKE DOWN ALEX LIKE SHE DID WITH THEM EARLIER! ALEX SEES IT COMING AND SENDS HER FLYING DOWN TO THE ROPES!
James Peters: Brianna goes over the top rope and lands both feet on the apron! Alex runs in and tries to send her to the outside, but she just catches Alex with a kick, sending them back inside the ring…. BRIANNA RETREATS INDOORS, AND ALEX HITS HER WITH A SUPERKICK OUT OF THE BLUE… FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE, COMPLETELY FLOORING BRIANNA!
Rich Russillo: ALEX TURNS AROUND TO SEARCH FOR MIA, BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW, SHE’S SLIPPED AWAY FROM THEIR VIEW AND IS LURKING JUST BEHIND THEM! ALEX REMAINS OBLIVIOUS AND CONTINUES FORWARD, UNAWARE THAT MIA IS CLOSING IN, READY TO POUNCE AND CATCH HIM OFF GUARD! MIA SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY AND HITS THE CUTTER FROM BEHIND!
James Peters: ALEX’S CAUGHT HER!. ALEX PUSHES MIA AWAY, BUT SHE QUICKLY TURNS THE TABLES AND COUNTERS! AN EXPLODER SUPLEX BRINGS ALEX DOWN!
Rich Russillo: ALEX FINDS THEMSELVES PLUMMETING DOWNWARD, COURTESY OF MIA’S EXPLODER SUPLEX. RULER HAS JUST RECOVERED AND CHARGES STRAIGHT AT MIA, AIMING TO OBLITERATE HER WITH THE ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’ METEORA KNEE, BUT MIA EVADES HIS ATTACK, CAUSING RULER TO CRASH AND BURN AS HIS KNEES COLLIDE WITH THE UNFORGIVING GROUND!
James Peters: RULER SLOWLY RISES, NURSING HIS ACHING KNEES! HE GINGERLY BACKS OFF, FAVORING BOTH LEGS THAT BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE IMPACT. HE CAUTIOUSLY CIRCLES MIA, SEEKING AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE. MIA IS FASTER AND LOOKS TO SEND RULER TUMBLING TO THE CANVAS WITH THE ‘KILLING MOON’ ROLLING WHEEL KICK. RULER ATTEMPTS TO GAIN CONTROL BY GRABBING MIA’S LEG, TRYING TO APPLY A HEEL HOOK, BUT MIA MANAGES TO PUSH HIM AWAY JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Rich Russillo: MIA RISES, BACKS UP ON HER FEET, AND SLOWLY GRABS RULER FROM BEHIND. SHE LOOKS FOR ‘SAFE PASSAGE,’ A GUTWRENCH BACKSTABBER ON RULER THERE, BUT RULER MANAGES TO PREVENT HER FROM TRAPPING HIM IN THE HOLD, DENYING HER THE CHANCE TO ROLL DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: MIA FAILS TO CAPITALIZE ON THE OPPORTUNITY AGAIN, BUT SHE QUICKLY REGAINS HER FOOTING AND RUSHES BACK TOWARD RULER!…. RIGHT INTO ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER’ SWINGING REVERSE STO BUT MIA PUSHES HIM AWAY AGAIN!….
Rich Russillo: ‘TWO FOR THE ROA- ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ !!!!!!!!!!! RULER’S FOOTWORK HAS BECOME FASTER, AND HE JUST KNOCKED MIA OUT WITH A SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK ACROSS HER FACE! DOWN GOES MIA! RULER QUICKLY GOES FOR A COVER ON MIA SANTORO!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER!!!!!
(Mia rolls out of the ring as Brianna sits on the outside. After some time, once they’re able to recover both women would begin walking up the ramp, however they’re walking at their own paces rather than being next to each other. Alex Myers and Ruler remain standing in the ring, Ruler would kneel down to get some rest as Alex comes down to kneel besides him. The two begin to chatter among themselves, talking about the result of the match, when suddenly…)
James Peters: And what a performance put in by these two-
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie begins to blare through the speaker system as the entire audience becomes unglued. Every head, eye and ear turns their attention over to the entrance stage as Minerva’s Entrance Video begins to play through the speaker system – the yellow and orange graphics begin to display throughout the LED screens throughout the arena. Immediately, Alex Myers and Ruler’s faces would start to travel over to the entrance way, as one of the greatest in Elite Answers Wrestling today makes her presence known. The arena lights would begin to go dark as Minerva eventually makes her way out through the curtains, wearing her casual outfit. Ruler and Alex eventually make it to their feet, as – with a microphone in hand – Minerva walks down the ramp.)
James Peters: – Well this is definitely not something either one of these two were hoping to see directly after a matchup like that! It’s very easy to be deflated and out of control of your emotions following a match just like this, and seeing somebody who punched you a week before enter right after one? That’s bound to rile anyone up, no matter what their feelings are!
(Minerva would slowly walk up the steel steps, before eventually making her way right into the ring. Standing across from Ruler and Alex Myers, she waits for her theme song to slowly fade out, before eventually, she raises the microphone up to her lips; everybody in the arena waiting to listen.)
Minerva: Quite frankly, when it comes to you two – especially Ruler – I am still not happy. For a few moments last week I thought as if I were satisfied with what happened. For a few moments I thought as if that was just going to be it. An altercation. Tempers flaring, me laying you out. But that isn’t what happened in the slightest. Every single thing that happened last week, I am unhappy with. I’m still, quite frankly, feeling disrespected by Ruler – and when that’s the Minerva you are dealing with, the last thing you need to worry about is making a statement at her expense. Because I can assure you, that will not go well for you. I’m not in the mood for it. And I’m here to give you a well earned warning. Continue down the path you are going and you will regret it. Continue making the moves that you are making, and you will regret it. Continue doing what you are doing, and you will regret it. It is a very simple concept to grab, and quite frankly, it’d be asinine if you refused to grab it. It’s something that would benefit the future of your season.
Minerva: I don’t care if what you did was supposed to be some sort of joke from you. I’m not sure if it was, but if you really intended that; it doesn’t matter to me. It’s all the same. Whether it be a stupid joke, or you simply not having any idea of what you’re getting yourself into – the result is the exact same thing. You must really have a death wish considering the mood I’m in. You could step in my shoes, and knowing it’s coming from somebody like you? I’d have a strong urge to shut you up. All you’re setting yourself up for is pain. Strong, unfathomable pain. You are going to get hurt. You need to watch your step, Ruler. You need to watch what you do and say to me. Otherwise? You’re going to be face up, lights blinding you once more, struggling to grasp what legitimately happened, a slight blurry memory giving you some context clues, which will lead into deep, deep regret for disrespecting me the way that you did. Consider this your final warning. The same goes for you too, Alex. Instead of watching things unfold like a bystander, make sure that your friend doesn’t get into any more trouble.
Minerva: I am the worst person you could have picked a fight with. I am the worst person your friend could have picked a fight with. You need to watch yourself. Or else Ruler is going to get YOU hurt.
(Eventually, Ruler clearly has heard enough as he storms over to the corner and bends down to pick up a microphone. Turning back, he looks at Minerva.)
Ruler: I’m not afraid of anything you tell me, not in the slightest. You talk a big game and, sure, you have the resume to back it up, but if that were to scare away everybody? People like YOU wouldn’t exist. We’d have the ‘07 Elitists decades past their prime still battling it out as we watch on in fear. I don’t care how dangerous you are because your threats are legitimately nothing to me and they will remain that way forever. I know exactly what I did. I’m not going to pretend I didn’t. I’m not going to pretend it was some joke. I antagonised you, I got under your skin, I went out of my way to cause a problem between us, and you know why? For my own gain. As I said, sure, you may have the resume and the history, you may be dangerous. But if I were scared of you, you’d probably go back chasing after Drake to kick off some old dirty laundry, or complain to someone like Jamie for not letting you on the team. Me? All I know is, if you have a problem with me? I have absolutely no qualms with going out and settling it in the ring.
(Ruler says, as he squares up to Minerva, clearly proposing a challenge. Minerva slowly raises the microphone, a dead cold stare on her face.)
Minerva: A challenge, huh? You’re o-
(However, seconds later, ‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean would begin to blare through the speakers as “ooohs” ring throughout the Helsinki Halli Arena. All three Elitists in the ring would turn to face the stage, Alex Myers’ eyes being the quickest to bounce, given their history with Jack Ripley, there is no surprise there. Entering in his casual outfit much like Minerva, also with a microphone in his hand, Jack Ripley slowly begins to walk down the ramp, before climbing up the ring steps. Slipping through the ropes, he stands by Minerva after pacing around the ring, eventually looking to speak up.)
Jack Ripley: Sorry to cut you off, Minerva. Didn’t intend to. You know, time delays. :mjgrin:
(Minerva looks at Jack for a split second, before back at Alex and Ruler.)
Jack Ripley: I just wanted to say; I agree. I agree with every sentiment you let out Minerva. Every single one. Because I’m not satisfied with what played out last week either. Not in the slightest. I wish I was. I wish I could come out here with the biggest smile on my face, ready to play buddy buddy with my new friend just like Alex Myers is, just EXCITED to play tag team wrestling after trashing on it for months like Ruler is… but unfortunately, I’m not. I’m not a fucking sell out. I’m not a fucking faux-persona. I’m as real as it comes, and realistically, I don’t feel great. Bad following Bloodsport, worse after last week. And now? I’m sitting here having to listen to these two chumps, well, mainly the one with the shoddy hairline – and I’m having to listen to them go on, and on, and on about things they clearly don’t understand. Ruler is evidently way in over his head, and as it stands? Alex Myers is just standing around, getting in the way, because that’s all they were ever good for to begin with. It’s very hard to hear, Minerva. I just had to come out here.
(As Jack Ripley finishes his sentence, we hear an audible groan. Alex Myers lifts up Ruler’s microphone, before they begin to speak into it.)
Alex Myers: Jesus Christ. Is this what this whole thing is going to be? Are you two just going to be childish because Hunter isn’t exactly the kindest person in the whole world to others? This is EAW and what happened last week is what sets you off? So much so that you have to come out here and run my name through the mud for simply being attached to him? This is pathetic. This is childish. I wouldn’t expect much more from Jack Ripley but seeing it from you, Minerva? I expected better.
(Alex would step away from the microphone after getting a little heated, as the four begin to argue off-microphone. Eventually, we hear a familiar voice…)
???: Alright, alright; ENOUGH!
(…as Captain Charisma steps out onto the stage.)
Captain Charisma: Is this what it comes down to, huh? My decision because of all this bickering? That’s fine. No, that’s fine. This happens all the time. This isn’t anything new. So much so that I know just the solution.
(Captain Charisma takes a deep breath. All four eyes wait for his response.)
Captain Charisma: If you four have your issues? That’s fine. We are just a few weeks away from Territorial Invasion, right? Why don’t we make it official? If you all agree, how about it; Alex Myers and Ruler, versus Minerva and Jack Ripley in a tornado tag team match!
(The crowd would cheer, as the four Elitists around the ring look back and forth between one another.)
Ruler: Fine by me, exactly what I wanted.
Minerva: Good. I wanted to shut him up myself.
Jack Ripley: I find no problem with that.
(Then, it comes down to Alex…)
Alex Myers: *sigh.* Fine. If that’s what Hunter wants, you got it.
(The crowd would cheer again.)
Captain Charisma: If we’re all in agreement? Then let’s do it. It’s official. You have your match!
(The crowd continues cheering, as all four Elitists stare one another down; Ruler and Minerva, and Alex and Jack. They continue arguing off-mic, before we fade elsewhere…)
(Promotional ad for EAW 2K24, with Voltage’s own Minerva.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns from a short break, with the camera focusing on the backstage area of the Helsinki Halli Arena as there is a loud commotion being heard as it approaches the scene. An absolutely irate Mia Santoro is seen storming through the halls, ice pack on her neck and a towel on her shoulder. She’s heard mumbling to herself distinctly, clearly unhappy about what just happened out there in her match.)
Mia Santoro: Why do I even bother anymore… Out of the generosity of my heart I gave that poor little girl a chance and she just had to go out of her way to MESS IT ALL UP FOR ME! This could’ve been the biggest win of my career, I was SECONDS away from it! Everything went wrong and it’s all because of that stupid BRIANNA HILL!
(Seemingly on cue, the shot pans over to show Brianna Hill scurry into the scene, showing the effects of her match as well as she quickly approaches Mia. It doesn’t seem like she’s in the business to escalate anything between the two despite what has been happening this past week, instead trying to mediate the situation.)
Brianna Hill: Look I’m sorry for what happened out there! I really thought we could’ve gotten the win against them-
Mia Santoro: Not “we”, I COULD HAVE! I played your stupid little game this week, Brianna. I decided to follow your lead and play a team player, HOPING that by a string of sheer luck we would be able to say that we were winners tonight even though I don’t like you all that much. The ONLY thing that match did was reaffirm the latter, and I’m getting SICK of hearing your sniveling voice tell me that everything is okay, BECAUSE IT’S NOT! IT’S YOUR FAULT! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!
(Brianna looks startled by all of this, but of course she is not going to be someone that takes this lying down.)
Brianna Hill: Look, I don’t know what your deal is, but considering you were the one that took the pin out there I don’t think you’re really doing yourself any favors by saying that I was the one at fault. I’m trying to show you respect, Mia, you have a motivation to succeed just like the rest of us, the difference is you’re more willing to step over toes than others. If anything I’m the one that’s out here rooting for you, I’m in your corner. I see something in you that is rare to see in anyone else starting out, and I don’t want you to feel like I’m disrespecting you. But I also don’t want you to think of me as some kind of pushover either, because I’m not.
Mia Santoro: I’M NoT A pUshOvEr- I DON’T CARE! I’ve had to listen to you repeat that over and over again, GOOD JOB, you have thick skin is that really all that you want to say? I can be as disrespectful to you as I want to and you’re going to do nothing about it, because at the end of the day you amount to NOTHING compared to me, this match was proof of that. I don’t care if you want to pin the blame on me, maybe if I had a better tag partner she would be able to pull her own weight and give me a hand in a dire time of need, but clearly not. I was wrong to believe that you would be redeemable in the slightest, and now I know that all of this was just one big waste of time.
Brianna Hill: Can we just calm down please? It doesn’t really matter to me whose fault it is if you want me to be truthful to you. It could be you or me, and I’m not going to hold it against you regardless. I want you to look at the bright side, because we did an amazing job against two people who were severely underestimating us the entire week and saying that it would be easy for them to win. We gave them a good fight and that’s the thing that I take out of all of this.
Mia Santoro: SEE?! That is EXACTLY what is wrong with you, you settle for mediocrity just like EVERYONE else in this company. “Oh we did a good job!” “We might have lost but at least we put up a fight!” WHO CARES! NOBODY IS GOING TO REMEMBER THAT! All they are going to remember is the blotch on my record thanks to you.
Brianna Hill: Please, can you just hear me out-
Mia Santoro: SHUT UP!
(Mia SHOVES Brianna down to the ground, looking down at her with an absolutely irate look on her face. Brianna looks up in surprise, she can’t believe at all what’s happening.)
Mia Santoro: You’ve done enough, when will you just learn to back OFF! You mean nothing to me, you don’t deserve even an ounce of my spotlight. I told you that you could learn a thing or two from me, and for a minute I was willing to help you out and show you, but now…
(Mia scoffs.)
Mia Santoro: You don’t belong anywhere close to me. I want you to remember this, remember this moment. When you’re left with nothing and the name Mia Santoro is immortalized alongside the rest of the greats in this company, and you say to yourself… should’ve listened to Mia. Now if you know what’s good for you, we will never see eachother again.
(Mia turns around and storms away from the scene without a second glance. Brianna is still shocked about all of this, definitely not expecting Mia to snap on her despite the issues that they have had this past week. Brianna gets back up to her feet, rubbing the back of her head in pain before ultimately nodding her head, she sees how this is. She turns around and walks away as well as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage fades to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for “FIND JAKE SMITH” featuring Josh. Bork bork, bork, bork bork bork bork, bork, bork bork.)
( Sunday Night Voltage transitions into the backstage area as we are in Captain Charisma’s Office. He is seen wearing a dapper dark red custom made suit as he is talking with Voltage’s resident Iron Woman, Jamie Cross! She of course has her ring attire on as she’ll be facing off against Minevra later tonight as she is having a conversation with The Voltage Commissioner. )
Jamie Cross: After that win against Hoodlum, and what Mei had to say to me right after was just so weird. Saying maybe I’m not cut out to be in this business, and just going on and on. It was just as confusing when Drake was giving me fashion tips, it’s all so..
Captain Charisma: I get it Jamie, trust me I would know. That’s just the reality of the situation but at least something can come your way qu-
(Suddenly, the door knocks on Captain Charisma’s door. Captain Charisma is caught off but instruct whoever knocked… )
Captain Charisma: You can come in!
( The camera would pan over the person opening the door to be none other than Brianna Hill! She’s a relatively new Elitist, as she has a big smile across her face. She smiles at Jamie who smiles back as she goes towards Captain Charisma. She extends her hand to him as he obliges back and shakes her hand as well. Captain Charisma would then ask her… )
Captain Charisma: How can I help you Brianna.
Brianna Hill: Firstly I wanna appreciate you giving me the opportunity to be on Voltage and everything. I’m grateful for the chance you’ve given thus far so thank you but I need to get something, something that I want after not only tonight but last week as well… I want the chance to face Mia Santoro in a match. Mia doesn’t buy what I’m offering here in EAW and I figured that was just competitive spirit but after she decided to turn on me after we’re teaming together against Alex and Ruler, I’m not having any of that. I refuse to be a pushover and be so easily disrespected so I NEED to have a match with her Captain Charisma.
Captain Charisma: So it’s a need for you to get a match with Mia Santoro?
Brianna Hill: Yes, absolutely. I need the opportunity to get some payback against Mia for not only doubting me when I first came here to Voltage, but also attacking me tonight after our match. That is what I need sir.
Captain Charisma: Well before you came into my office, I was actually in the middle of something speaking with Jamie but since you’re here as well I actually wanted to speak to you about something!
( Brianna looks surprised as Captain Charisma continues to explain himself on what he was talking to Jamie about. )
Captain Charisma: You see Brianna, at Territorial Invasion we’ll be doing a Unique Opportunity match! A very big chance to those on the roster and one that I’m personally excited for. So-
???: Now wait just a second!
(Before Captain Charisma could say anything else, he would be interrupted by a feminine voice as Jamie, Brianna, and Captain Charisma all look towards the door to see none other than the woman Brianna wanted in a one on one match, Mia Santoro. Mia looks quite dastardly after what transpired between her and Brianna earlier in the night. Mia begins speaking to Captain Charisma. )
Mia Santoro: Let’s be honest with ourselves CC, the only unique opportunity that should be given out are the ones being handed to me. You might as well have saved that cute little explanation for someone that’s actually worth a damn. Somebody who’s actually capable enough to be a future star in this business, somebody who walks like me, talks like me… oh wait I know, is me. I ain’t comparable to the rest, and I’m certainly not comparable to little Brianna over here.
( Brianna has a somewhat annoyed looking face as she responds to what Mia just said about her. )
Brianna Hill: I would never want to be compared to you anyways, you’re nothing but an entitled bully who thought they could get away from insulting, to straight up attacking me after we were partners tonight. I gave you the benefit of the doubt last week, but clearly you think very highly of yourself and put me on a level below you, which I’m not. You are not an outlier whatsoever Mia, you ARE on the same level as other new Elitists, and I know if we had a one on one match that I would make you regret those words you said to me last week.
( Mia smirks to herself, as she then responds to what Brianna just said to her. )
Mia Santoro: I don’t think so at all Bri, I told you last week and I’ll say it here again. I’m not buying the hype with you. I don’t believe that you’ll do better than me. They’re have been a million verison of you to walk through this company, some never back down goody two shoes freak. I’m going to give you a reality check that you aren’t winning this unique opportunity an-
Brianna Hill: That’s where you’re wrong Mia. This could be my big opportunity, and I could achieve that and I’m more than willing to prove you wrong. More than willing to actually knock your teeth down your throat.
Mia Santoro: Oh I would love to see you try Bri-
Captain Charisma: ALRIGHT LADIES THAT’S ENOUGH!!!
( Captain Charisma yells that out as both Mia and Brianna stop their bickering towards one another. Jamie in the background would have her eyes widen as Captain Charisma would continue to talk. )
Captain Charisma: Well since you’re here Mia, I’ve actually been quite impressed with you two of you so far. You both are two new additions to the roster and you both have done a great job establishing yourself here in EAW. Mia obviously you scored victory against Nyx on Dynasty, and picked up a win against Sorn last week while you Brianna went toe to toe against undefeated Michael Machina and Rory Slate, and picked up a win last week against Tanner Black. You both have had good start to your careers here in EAW and I would like to officially offer you both a spot in this Unique Opportunity match at Territorial Invasion.
Mia Santoro: Pretty obvious that I want in on this Unique Opportunity
Brianna Hill: Same with me Captain Charisma.
Captain Charisma: Excellent, that’s great to hear!
( Jamie who has been in the background, decides to step forward as she faces towards both Brianna and Mia with something of her own. )
Jamie Cross: Before you both decided to interrupt my conversation I was having with Captain Charisma over here, I’ll also be a part of the Unique Opportunity Match at Terrotital Invasion. You both can argue amongst yourselves, but I’ve been in this actual situation before. I have known what it’s like to win an opportunity when I did that the biggest show in the entire season, Pain for Pride. I’m looking to bounce back after Bloodsport, and that Unique Opportunity at Territorial Invasion will be what I’m seeking for.
( Captain Charisma would then chime in, as he too would add something pertaining Brianna and Mia. )
Captain Charisma: Now regarding that so-called “need” that you wanted Brianna, a match with Mia Santoro seems like a pretty good idea to me. Since clearly there’s been some development of tension between the two of you and I think it would be best to have this one on one with each on the Voltage after Territorial Invasion. I think that would be a great idea, allowing you both to still compete for that Unique Opportunity at Territorial Invasion, but also get that one on one match between you two. You both are satisfied.
Brianna Hill: Yes absolutely!
Mia Santoro: If Bri wants to get embarrassed after Territorial Invasion, I’m happy with that.
Captain Charisma: Alright it’s official.
( Jamie then walks past both as she heads towards the door. She looks back as the camera pans towards her as she tells both Mia Santoro and Brianna Hill… )
Jamie Cross: I guess I’ll see you two at Territorial Invasion, hope you both are ready for what I’m going to bring to the table.
( Jamie exits through the door as she’ll be preparing for her match against Minerva later tonight. Meanwhile we would see an intense staredown between both Brianna and Mia as the tensions have been heating it up. Mia tells Bri… )
Mia Santoro: Be prepared for the waterfalls when you lose to me Bri.
Brianna Hill: Like I said Mia, you’re gonna regret what you said about me. If anyone should be prepared for waterfalls, it will be you!
Mia Santoro: I guess we’ll see Bri. All I know is that I’m the one who’s winning that unique opportunity, not Jamie, not you, ME!
( Mia proceeds to look towards Captain Charisma then back to Brianna as she gives out like a smirk before leaving the office as well. Brianna would give a little nod to Captain Charisma before she leaves as well as Sunday Night Voltage transitions elsewhere. )
( As Voltage was set for some in ring action; the lovely patrons of Finland were about to get just that, as ‘Imma Be’ by the Black Eyed Peas Pease blasted through the speakers, being received by a TON of boo’s from the crowd who CLEARLY weren’t the biggest Bea Valentine fans in the world; as Bea herself began walking out to the ring, shrugging them off as she work a smug grin, clearly confident tonight within this match up, as she made her way down to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS… WEIGHING IN AT 143 POUNDS… SHE IS, ‘ THE QUEEN BEA’, BEAAAAAAAAAA VALENNTIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( Bea continued her way down to the ring, sliding through the bottom rope as she raised her hands high; going to the center of the ring as she ABSORBED the attention; garnering every eye in the arena, before finally her theme began to fade slowly, as she stepped towards her corner; awaiting her opponent. )
James Peters: Well welcome back to Voltage for some GREAT one on one action tonight; as we see one of the two Elitist that will be squaring off, in Bea Valentine!
Rich Russillo: Someone who has made their name widely known in EAW over the last few months, but still with so much more to prove; it makes this match up SO much more exciting! As she gets to go toe to toe with a VETERAN of the game in Rex McAllister, this match can simply only EXCEED expectations!
James Peters: Agreed. Tonight is going to be a night of AMAZING bouts, and this is just one of them! As Bea Valentine makes her way out now, confident as can be; we’re moments away from seeing if Rex McAllister, can keep that SAME energy!
( Suddenly, ‘Stronger ( Salü Remix )’ by The Score began to blast out the speakers to a HUGE pop from the fans, as Rex McAllister began making his way down to the ring; a smirk on his face as his eyes panned around the arena, looking at all the cheering faces and praise her was absorbing, as he chuckled to himself; before continuing his walk down to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… RESIDING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA… WEIGHING IN AT 238 POUNDS…. HE IS, ‘THE LIONHEART’, REXXX MCCCALLLISTTERRRR!!!!!
( Rex made his way down the ramp, turning the corner as he shifted up the steel steps and onto the apron, moving to the ropes as he eyed down a clearly unwavering and unintimidated Bea Valentine; as McAllister slowly made his way into the ring, backing into his corner slowly with a grin still firmly on his face as his theme faded out, both Elitist waiting for the bell. )
Rich Russillo: Do I state the obvious —
James Peters: No, not so upfront; we don’t want to cause some locker room drama here, those NEVER end well…
Rich Russillo: You’re right, I guess we can move on for the moment. But you see the match up here tonight; and Bea has a mountain to climb here in this match if she wants to beat the Veteran here in Rex McAllister tonight!
James Peters: Agreed, BUT if Bea hones in on her skills; pulling out all the stops? She could sneak one away here tonight! All she had to do is stay focused, as she is set to face a VERY game Rex . . . And she might just leave with an upset.
( Ding ! Ding! Ding ! )
Rich Russillo: And we are underway in some Voltage one on one action; and for this match I am joining by James Peters, as we miss one of our co-commentators due to what she says is a ‘personal’ issue that was extremely urgent!
James Peters: A pretty convenient issue considering the competitors in this match, but nonetheless; Voltage will continue to move on; as now we see Bea Valentine vs Rex McAllister, two Elitist who are still looking for some permanent solidified footing in EAW after some early bumps going into this Season; but all things considered? These two look GREAT apart of the future of this brand!
Rich Russillo: Agreed; in what could be considered two symbols of EAW’s past and present duking it out now; it’ll be interesting when it comes to delegating who exactly has the edge here, as Bea Valentine skates on the outskirts of the ring; with Rex McAllister picking a spot directly in the middle as we wait for the first strike in this match to pop!
James Peters: And it seems as if Bea will be the first to initiate; RUSHING forward towards Rex, though McAllister ducking the lariat Bea had cooking for him; turning towards Bea who skated forward towards the ropes, looking to catch Valentine off guard with a big boot – AND BEA with the counter now as Rex McAllister’s leg goes over the top rope!
Rich Russillo: And with that Bea is given a clear opening, SWEEPING a leg towards Rex’s own leg planted in the ring; looking to take him down to the floor – BUT REX HOPS OVER IT JUST IN TIME! Bea shifting back up to her feet quickly just in time for Rex to unhook his leg from the top rope – AND VALENTINE HIT WITH A QUICKY ELBOW TO THE HEAD THAT SENDS HER SKIRTING AWAY!
James Peters: Bea getting startled early in this match as Rex looks to follow up on his attack, marching towards Bea as he raises his arms up . . . Though before he can latch onto her, Bea QUICKLY comes back with a strike to the head of Rex here, not giving up any sort of leverage to her opponent as Rex is now sent back!
Rich Russillo: Though Rex is just as motivated as Bea is tonight, shaking off the blow as he reels a arm back, landing ANOTHER strike to the head of Bea – Though Valentine not even BUFFERING off the shot as she sends ANOTHER one directly into the temple of Rex; as he finds himself staggered once more!
James Peters: And Bea not looking to give him a chance to rebuttal; as now she RAINS down shots onto the skull of Rex McAllister, not giving him any leeway as she barrages him with all sorts of strikes; backing him up into the corner now as she looks to make him shrink down into the turnbuckles… But a loose shot that Rex catches might be all he needs to switch the momentum up once more!
Rich Russillo: The only con to random strikes such as that, all it takes is one arm to be caught and its all over from there; as Bea looks to fly her other arm for a sudden haymaker to break his grip – but Rex catches that one as well! Bea staring down Rex as he has a firm grip on both her arms, Bea seemingly shaking her head to whatever Rex is planning – BUT NO DEBATING OR PLEADING HERE AS REX SMASHES HER WITH A HEADBUTT!
James Peters: And Bea is sent backpedaling off the impact, though not hitting the floor just yet as she brings a hand to her forehead; clearly absorbing a lot of that blow, stunned in the middle of the ring – WHICH IS JUST ENOUGH FOR REX TO WORK OFF OF AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF UP, GRABBING THE HEAD OF BEA BEFORE SENDING THEM BOTH DOWN; REX LANDING A RECOIL ONTO VALENTINE THAT FINALLY TAKES HER TO THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: A perfect maneuver here from Rex as he swiftly takes an early lead, scrambling to a downed Bea Valentine; though not going for a pin as he shifts over her body, hooking the head of Bea as he begins to work quickly; twirling her up to a kneel position as he stands to his feet; BEFORE SLAMMING HER DOWN WITH A DDT!
James Peters: Though he hasn’t let go yet! As Rex rolls through on the DDT maneuver, bringing Bea directly back into the same position; AND LANDING A SECOND SNAP DDT ONTO BEA! And the trifecta looking to come into fruition as Rex McAllister rolls through once more, signaling with one hand that he’s going for three as the other is firmly hooked around Bea; McAllister looking to plant her once more – AND HE DOES! LANDING A THIRD DDT!!!
Rich Russillo: . . .NO! Bea transitioned herself into a handstand RIGHT before impact, negating the blow as she flips back onto her feet; Rex scrambling to get into a vertical position to combat the reversal from Bea; BUT VALENTINE QUICK TO MAKE WORK OF REX HERE, AS SHE JUMPS INTO THE AIR – AND SPIKES MCALLISTER DOWN WITH A POISIONRANA!!!
James Peters: What a showcase of athleticism and ability from Bea there, as she quickly pins down the legs of Rex and straddles his core to the mat; looking for a cover here off the Poisionrana!!!
OOONNNN–
Rich Russillo: And a quick kickout before the Ref could even GET to a count, as Rex shoves Bea off of him and begins to scramble to his feet, looking to get things going for him and brush past the counter from Bea; as Valentine stays at a knee, Rex running towards her . . .
James Peters: AND A DROP TOE HOLD FROM BEA VALENTINE BRINGS REX TO FACEPLANT AGAINST THE MAT! Rex landing hard as he holds his jaw in agony; though Bea Valentine quick to continue her offense as she shifts towards him on the ground, before SWIFTLY applying an STF submission maneuver onto Rex!
Rich Russillo: Smart move by Bea here as she looks to wear down her opponent with a submission, trying to make sure Rex is unable to do much in the later parts of the juncture; as Rex begins to struggle early in this submission here, reaching out for the ropes though to no avail as Bea is doing a great job keeping him away!
James Peters: As Bea playing her role in this match perfectly, keeping Rex at bay here as he slowly trudges to the ring ropes, clearly pacing himself though not wasting time as he doesn’t wish to stay inside of the submission hold long; before FINALLY it seems like Rex is fingertips from the ropes… AND YES, HE GOT IT!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Rich Russillo: And Bea taking her time with that submission maneuver when it comes to getting off of Rex; the referee barking at her to back away as she agrees begrudgingly; raising her hands up as she walks away, the official now checking on Rex here who seems to need a little bit of a comeback here, don’t you agree James?
Rich Russillo: I mean I can’t really disagree can I? He’s a little off his game, dare I say, a little outclassed by Bea Valentine early in this match; though you can NEVER count out Rex McAllister at any capacity. If it’s a slow start? So be it. We know he will always find his way into a match no matter what time into the bout it comes at. If anything, right now COULD be that time!
James Peters: That’s an inevitably we might see, and it could be now as he begins to rise to his feet; looking to reach a vertical position as now Bea closes back in on him, grabbing McAllister up by his hair as she looks to drag him to the corner – but before she can get to moving a SWIFT jab to the gut stuns Bea from going any further; Rex looking to amount a comeback here, as he launches ANOTHER fist directly into her core!
Rich Russillo: And with Bea prone for a moment, Rex leverages himself up into a full vertical position for a moment; resetting himself to be in the center of the ring as he grabs onto Bea’s hand and LAUNCHES her forward towards the ropes, rebounding off towards Rex who SLIDES against the mat; Bea Valentine running over him as she hits the opposing side of the ring, McAllister once again allowing her to keep on building momentum as he LEAPS into the air and over Bea; forcing her to SPEED off the ropes one more time –
James Peters: AND DIRECTLY INTO A DEEP ARM DRAG FROM REX! McAllister picking the arm just as Bea was coming towards him as she slams against the mat; and McAllister STILL has her arm in hand, bending a knee against her back as she lies sideways, as he begins to manipulate the joints of Bea here; looking to wear her down a bit himself!
Rich Russillo: And it was just moments ago where this match was entirely opposite of this right here, THAT is how easy it is for these competitors to switch up the pacing her of this match; making sure to make it very aware to any fan that this is ANYONE’S game; as Bea now begins to struggle in the center of the ring, with Rex CONTINUING to press on the hold!
James Peters: And Rex beginning to bend the arm back further of Bea, making the pain even more excruciating as Bea now begins to wiggle her legs, turning her body as she tries to adjust out of the hold; though the moment Rex sees this he lets go of the arm and YANKS the neck fo Bea in to apply a near naked choke onto her!
Rich Russillo: Tactical wrestling. That’s the name of the game, and Rex is playing it perfectly as he goes from targeting Valentine’s arm and lower back, all the way to her neck. Making breathing a more laboring task, influencing a strain over her neck that proves to be uncomfortable the longer she stays in the submission; this is BEAUTIFUL technical wrestling from Rex here tonight!
James Peters: And Bea is getting a little history lesson on how good Rex McAllister truly is, as she now begins to struggle towards the ropes; scooching closer and closer as she outstretches her legs, ALMOST getting a boot onto it but just being slightly too far away, as she struggles to get a LITTLE closer . . .But Rex SMARTLY pulling her back towards the middle of the ring; hailing his body backwards!
Rich Russillo: OR WAS IT A SMART DECISION! AS BEA MOVES WITH HIS MOMENTUM, SHIFTING HIS BODY DOWN TO THE MAT AS SHE PINS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN WITH HER UPPER BODY; LOOKING FOR THE COVER HERE!!!
OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWWOO–
James Peters: And Rex smartly letting go early as Bea SPRINGS up to her feet; looking to make some use out of her smart maneuvering, RUNNING towards Rex who is beginning to get up here; looking to apply some pressure –
Rich Russillo: “ THE REXXXX EFFECTTTTT!!!!! “ THE DDT CLASHING PERFECTLY OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE AGAINST BEA VALENTINE, MCALLISTER SPRINGING SUDDEN ACTION ONTO HER; AS HE TURNS TO PIN HIS BODY OVER HER FOR THE COVER . . .
James Peters: BUT BEA SMARTLY ROLLING OUT THE RING BEFORE HE CAN DO SO! Call it instinct, call it genius; but the moment she got hit flush with that DDT Bea BAILED out the ring, hitting the floor hard as she looks OUT directly on the outside!
Rich Russillo: And I think Rex realizes that now, as he looks around on the outside for where Bea landed; noticing her on the floor as he QUICKLY rolls out of the ring; grabbing her up and CHUCKING her into the ring as she rolls inside; McAllister quickly following behind to hopefully get her covered in time for a pin BEFORE she can recover –
James Peters: But Bea just ROLLING with the momentum of Rex forcing her in, as she rolls out of the OTHER side of the ring just before Rex can grab her! McAllister just fingertips away from her body before she makes her exit, as you see the emotion fading from his face as he KNOWS his opportunity has passed him!
Rich Russillo: And you HAVE to commend the smart nature of Bea Valentine there, avoiding clear danger in this match-up TWICE as she evaded a cover; now forcing Rex back to square one without even knowing if he did enough to keep Bea down for good, as Valentine slowly begins to recover on the outside; a smirk CLEAR on her face as she knows EXACTLY the amount of genius she just showcased there!
James Peters: And an entirely different reaction being shown from the ring here, as Rex McAllister CLEARLY is irritated at how things panned out there; slowly rising to his feet as he stares down Bea who is getting up on the outside; and I don’t think Rex is ready to let her get away with stealing a possible win away from him, AS REX NOW LOOKS TO RUN THE ROPES; REBOUNDING BACK TOWARDS WHERE BEA IS ON THE OUTSIDE, AS REX LOOKS TO SOAR HERE – LEAPING THE TOP ROPE AS HE LOOKS TO CRASH DOWN ONTO BEA VALENTINE WHO SEEMS STAGGERED…
Rich Russillo: BUT BEA VALENTINE JUST WALKS OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE; AS REX CRASHES AGAINST THE GROUND! SHE WAS FAKING HER DISORIENTATION WHICH MADE REX GO FOR HIGH RISK, NO REWARD! McAllister holding his back in agony as he slowly rises to his feet; CLEARLY in pain off the miss, though that might be JUST what Bea is looking for her as he turns directly towards her . . .
James Peters: And Bea LEAPING onto the apron quickly, shifting her focus back to Rex on the outside – ‘ BEAAAA STINGGEERRRRR!!!!’ A MAKESHIFT VERSION OF HER DOUBLE FOOT STOMP OFF THE APRON INSTEAD OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE; THOUGH NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS, IT LANDS FLUSH ONTO REX HERE AS HE HITS THE FLOOR HARD! Bea now with a golden opportunity as she SLOWLY wills the body of Rex up to his feet, LAUNCHING him into the ring; as she looks to go for a pin here!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK AT REX, HE’S TRYING TO ROLL OUT JUST LIKE BEA DID PREVIOUSLY; HE’S TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE RING BEFORE SHE CAN PIN HIM!!!
James Peters: BUT BEA CATCHES HIM! BEA MANAGES TO GET REX BEFORE HE CAN ROLL OUT THE RING, AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG; SHOOTING THE HALF AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: REX DIDN’T KICK OUT, BEA WINS!!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: NO, LOOK! A FOOT ON THE ROPES; REX WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE ROPES TO GET ONE FOOT ON – BEA DIDN’T COVER BOTH LEGS; AND NOW REX IS STILL IN THIS MATCH-UP!
Rich Russillo: And the emotion just DRAINING from the face of Bea Valentine, SO close to a win right there and yet so far away; as Rex FIGHTS through the pain and keeps himself alive in this match!
James Peters: Certainly a testament to the willpower and fighting spirit of Rex McAllister; something Bea will need to get adjusted to here in EAW for her own benefit as she will find Elitist just like Rex SCATTERED across the entirety of this company; though now the question lies if whether or not Bea has it in her to take DOWN Elitist like Rex.
Rich Russillo: Or just taking down Rex PERIOD, as Bea now begins to get up to her feet; dragging Rex by his foot towards the corner as she props him up; McAllister forced into a seated position as Valentine looks to be calling for something here!
James Peters: Yes indeed; she’s smacking her derrière and I think that can only mean one thing here, AS BEA MAKES SPACE BEFORE FLYING FORWARD TO SMASH REX’S FACE IN WITH A HIP ATTACK… AND IT CONNECTS!!!
Rich Russillo: Rex is FLOORED once more by Bea, ROLLING into the center of the ring as Bea stays firm in the corner, CALLING Rex up as he slowly begins to stir; possibly the beginning of the end closing in within the this matchup here tonight, an UPSET from Bea Valentine ready to be unleashed…
James Peters: “BEAAAA-TRIGGERRRRRRR!!!!”
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: COUNTERED!!!!
James Peters: HOW??? REX JUST INSTINCTIVELY DUCKING THE V-TRIGGER AS BEA FLIES FORWARD; BEFORE LEAPING AND CATCHING HER WITH A NECKBREAKER TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!!! Rex is NOT out yet as ge scrambled to his feet, Bea still prone on the floor now as McAllister manages to stand above her… AND A STANDING MOONSAULT FROM REX MCALLISTER!!!
Rich Russillo: One of the more EMPHATIC moves in the arsenal of Rex, as he PUSHES all of his weight onto Bea; CRASHING into her, as McAllister doesn’t stop there — picking Valentine up to her feet, HOOKING around the head; LOOKING TO SEAL THE DEAL OFF HER AND NOW!!!!!
James Peters: “THE REXXXXX EFFECTTTTTTTT”
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: CONNECTSSSSSS!!!! REX GOT ALL OF IT, AND HE MADE SURE TO KEEP BEA IN HIS CLUTCHES AS VALENTINE HAS NOWHERE TO GO ANY LONGER; REX INSTANTLY PUSHING HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE SHOOTING THE COVER!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Stronger ( salü remix )’, began to blast through the speakers to an UPROAR of cheers; as Rex McAllister slowly sat up off the pin, holding his core as his other hand instantly went to grab the back of his head; clearly going through a bit of a war tonight as he came out SURVIVING; with the referee slowly beginning to help McAllister up, bringing the victor to his feet! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNNERRRRR…. REXXXXX MCCCALLLISSTERRRRRR!!!!
James Peters: And let’s break it down now here JUST exactly how Rex McAllister picked up the victory tonight!
( The camera adjusted to two panels, as it showcased the ending of this match unfolding; staring to where Rex dodged the ‘Bea-Trigger’ of Bea, hitting a nice counter neck breaker; before transitioning to the moment where he DIRECTLY hit that ‘Rex Effect’ to SMASH the head of Bea into the floor; as the feed slowed down to show Bea’s head BOUNCE off the canvas right on impact. As the scene played out and Rex got the pin, the camera slowly transferred back to one panel; the feed of the hard-cam above the ring being shown as Rex was seen with a hand up high, being helped by the ref in the ring )
Rich Russillo: Perfectly placed maneuvers from the vet’ here, and I can’t say I expected anything less!
James Peters: Agreed! All things considered WHAT a performance by Bea Valentine, bringing someone of the caliber of Rex to what could be CLOSE to his limit. An Elitist that went toe to toe with the likes of Minerva, being brought SO close to a loss by Bea Valentine; if that doesn’t scream STAR? I don’t know what does.
Rich Russillo: Bea is a EAW Company SUPERSTAR in a few months time; a certainly possible Womens Champion here, and someone I have enjoyed keeping my eye on. You talk about the future? You’re looking at her in the flesh. What a performance by Bea, but she was just EVER so short tonight against a very game Rex McAllister.
(Rex is seen leaving the ring, high fiving the fans in the front row as he makes his way up the ramp. He turns around when he reaches the stage, raising his arms in the air with a smile on his face, the crowd cheering loudly for the EAW Hall of Famer, before he then turns and makes his leave toward the backstage area.)
(Inside the ring, Bea Valentine is seen recovering from the match, the referee checking on her as she uses the ropes to get back up, with a disgruntled expression on her face being shown. This is not the result that she wanted to have en route to a big match for the Specialists Championship in the future, and most definitely not the impression she wanted to make heading into Territorial Invasion, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was up on her own two feet and was looking to leave the ring, but before he could, an ear-piercing sound was heard ringing through the ears of everyone in the arena through the PA system.)
???: LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(‘Stronger (salü remix)’ abruptly cuts off as the crowd immediately erupts into deafening boos, the camera going over to show Valerie Hellstorm, unsurprisingly, making her way out to the stage. She’s laughing hysterically as a defeated Bea is seen with an annoyed look on her face while she does. Valerie sarcastically claps her hands together before then bringing her microphone back up to her mouth and beginning to speak.)
Valerie Hellstorm: Congratulations, Bea! You took that loss against Rex better than I expected! I expected you to be crying on the ground like a little baby, throwing a tantrum because the chosen one with the Unique Opportunity didn’t get what she wanted. But you’re better than I expected, but don’t get ahead of yourself because it’s not by much. You see, I look at it like this, tonight, you were unable to handle a simple main eventer like Rex McAllister, you lost, we knew that was going to happen. While me on the other hand, tonight you’re going to witness me absolutely murder Jack Ripley, something that I’m sure you’d be unable to do as well. But something like that shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering no matter the situation I have always been a better Elitist than you.
Valerie Hellstorm: Now I know that you’re the one who has the Specialists Championship opportunity and I have so much faith in you that you’re going to somehow make that work if you manage to make it out of our match at Territorial Invasion alive, but that is something that I also doubt. 🙄 But I think we all here in Helsinki, Finland know who the future Champion is here, and it is definitely not you.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Valerie Hellstorm: SHUT UP! It’s going to be me, and I want you to know that nothing is going to stop me from getting what I want at Territorial Invasion and it’s the title opportunity that I know I deserve so much more than you. And because of that, I don’t want any excuses, no bullshit and no funny business, because I know that you’re the kind of person to run away from a real fight, especially against myself. So since it’s already confirmed that we’re facing one another, I want to be the one that adds a stipulation to our match-
Bea Valentine: Says the person who cheats to win.
(Bea has heard enough and decided to grab a microphone from the ringside area, she approaches the far side of the ring, her ego strong enough to have a small smirk on her face as she says that. There is no love loss between the two right now and it’s clear that even since the beginning they were both on a crash course for one another, for more reasons than one. Valerie shows the unhappiness on her face as she quickly gives a rebuttal.)
Valerie Hellstorm: Who doesn’t nowadays? Besides, you could learn a thing or two from me, you’re the one that can never get the job done on your own. What happened at Bloodsport happened out of sheer luck and even then you could make a case that I practically handed the win on a silver platter for you after the mishap that occurred at the end. What happened against Rex further proved that.
Bea Valentine: You keep trying to shove that down my throat when it’s clear that Rex’s win tonight was pure luck, you saw it, the referee was clearly out to get me!
Referee: :comeagain:
Bea Valentine: If none of those were in play, the result would have been very different. I would’ve won very decisively because there is NO DOUBT that I am the very best that Elite Answers Wrestling right now and the ONLY star inside the ring right now.
(Valerie, who is inside the ring now, once again takes this very personally.)
Valerie Hellstorm: You think that YOU’RE the star??? You think that you actually mean something here on Sunday Night Voltage??? NOBODY cares about you!
Bea Valentine: Uh… I could name a lot of people who care a lot.
Valerie Hellstorm: You are a supporting cast member to Valerie Hellstorm’s story, and a stepping stone to my success. You’ve overstepped your boundaries one too many times and it was only a matter of time before I put my foot down and finally put a no-good shit-for-brains Elitist into their place. I have no sympathy for people like you Bea, and once we’re finally through and I take what should’ve been mine to begin with, I hope I never see you again.
Bea Valentine: Yeah, yeah, say all of that another day. The only reason that I’m still here listening to you is because you wanted to up the ante in our match, so go on, spit it out, because I have better things to do with my day than listen to you ramble.
Valerie Hellstorm: I don’t want just a regular match. I want… A HELL IN A CELL MATCH!
(The crowd roars into deafening cheers for this announcement, while on the other hand, Bea seems a little taken back, caught off guard a bit by this announcement. She takes a moment to let it soak in before then bringing her microphone back up.)
Bea Valentine: I don’t get it, a match like that really isn’t fitting for you. I don’t know what you think you’re doing, Valerie, but you’re just asking for a loss trying to pull off what you think is an elaborate stunt.
Valerie Hellstorm: Well I hate to break it to you, Bea, but somehow you’re going to have to face the reality that I am the rightful #1 contender for the Specialists Championship, and you might as well accept my challenge instead of delaying the inevitable.
(Bea thinks about this for a moment, scratching her chin not for herself, but for the sake of Valerie and sparing her from what she thinks is going to happen heading into Territorial Invasion. After sometime she finally takes a moment to bring her microphone up, nodding her head while she does.)
Bea Valentine: Alright then, I accept your stipulation. But let me tell you one thing first, Valerie… you should enjoy getting opportunities like this to lose to someone like Bea Valentine while it lasts, because soon when I become the Specialists Champion once and for all, when that happens, I won’t have time to deal with the likes of Valerie Hellstorm anymore. You’re so beneath me that it’s just not funny, and I have no faith in someone who has to get a second chance for an opportunity that she failed to capture courtesy of her own doing. At Territorial Invasion, when we’re locked inside that Hell in A Cell, don’t take it for granted, because once we’re through, you’ll never see me again.
(Bea gets the last word as she emphatically drops her microphone down to the ground, ‘Imma Be’ beginning to play up again while she does. Bea and Valerie stare a hole into one another, it’s clear that there is a lot of hatred between the two that is just waiting to bubble over come Territorial Invasion, and when the time comes for them to step into the ring there is no doubt that there is going to be a lot of carnage that comes with. After sometime, Bea breaks her stare and turns around, then begins to make her way out of the ring and take her leave from the area without a second glance back. Valerie, on the other hand, takes off the entrance jacket that she had on, beginning to pace back and forth as her focus completely shifts on the match that she has against Jack Ripley coming up next. The camera is focused on Valerie and the determined look that is plastered on her face as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then proceeds to go to a brief commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for Territorial Invasion, happening in just two weeks time!)
(The camera fades into ringside where Valerie Hellstorm is shown already in the ring for the match.)
Persephone: Valerie is already in the ring after what happened previously. Whatever that was.
Rich Russillo: Did you sleep through the entire previous segment…
Persephone: I can neither confirm nor deny that…
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Huntington Beach , California weighing in at 135 pounds she is “The Girl Boss” VALERRRRRRRRRRRRIE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLSTORM!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd boos loudly as Valerie Hellstorm wags her finger at them as they disapprove of her girl bossness.)
(Bounce Back by Big Sean hits as the crowd erupts into cheers.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada weighing in at 205 pounds he is “The Straight Shooter” JAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKK RIPLLLEYYYY!!!
(Jack Ripley makes his way to the stage to heavy cheers from the crowd. Jack takes a small moment to look around at all of the fans cheering him, but before long he turns his attention to Valerie Hellstorm. Jack doesn’t waste much time, choosing to walk down the ramp and head towards the ring for his match.)
Rich Russillo: I love Jack and these fans love him. He has worked hard over the years and earned their respect!
James Peters: Even Valerie Hellstorm admits to respecting him. But I am sure that won’t stop her from going all out in an effort to defeat him no matter what it takes!!!
Persephone: Does that really matter? Not the going all out part, but the match itself. I’m sure we could’ve skipped this.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway now as both competitors are pacing around each other in the ring preparing to lock up. Jack Ripley and Valerie Hellstorm! Let’s go! Jack smirks at Valerie who is trying to retain her composure but it is obviously intimidating to be in the ring with someone like Ripley. Suddenly they lock up and Ripley seems to overpower Hellstorm for a second there but Hellstorm uses his strength against him to whirl him around and send Ripley back first into the corner while they are still locked up. Ripley pushes out of the corner with impressive strength back into the middle of the ring before they suddenly break up the lockup. Ripley shoves the hair of Hellstorm backwards messing it up in a sign of disrespect as Valerie has an angry look on her face clearly not taking kindly to that kind of tactic. Ripley with a defiant look on his face before smiling at the rage of Hellstorm knowing he got under her skin just a little bit.
James Peters: Jack Ripley and Valerie Hellstorm lock up once again! Ripley and Hellstorm fighting for position as Hellstorm goes around behind Ripley and applies a Bearhug from behind! But Ripley trying to break the arms of Hellstorm off him before she begins to squeeze the life out of him. Ripley wrenches the arm and breaks free of the Bearhug before going around behind Hellstorm and grabbing her around the waist. But not for a Bearhug… German Suplex incoming! No! Hellstorm sandbags it remaining on her feet before throwing her elbow back repeatedly nailing Ripley in the skull with the hard elbow knocking him back staggering across the ring. Ripley in a bad way here but he regains his composure and grabs the hair of Hellstorm and yanks her back in as she tries to step away. The referee now warning Ripley to let go of the hair and he does so after yanking Hellstorm in an-
Rich Russillo: Jack Ripley yanks Valerie Hellstorm right into a hard Headbutt! Hellstorm staggering back now as Ripley has dazed her but Hellstorm not dazed for long as she staggers towards Ripley and smacks him across the face with a hard open handed slap! But Ripley isn’t going to take that kind of disrespect! Ripley responds with an open palm slap of his own! Hellstorm falls back holding her jaw in pain absolutely appalled at the audacity of Ripley. Hellstorm charges in with a Running Pump Kick! But Ripley catches the leg! Ripley nearly tipping Hellstorm over on one leg as she struggles to retain her balance. Instead Ripley grabs her leg and yanks her forward causing Hellstorm to land face first in the ring on the mat and Ripley has a good chance to take advantage here after all this. Ripley posturing to the crowd now as Hellstorm rolls back up to her feet.
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm charges in with a Running Clothesline but Jack Ripley ducks beneath. Ripley runs off the ropes as Hellstorm turns around… and she eats a Running Dropkick to the chest from Ripley! Hellstorm falls backwards collapsing into the corner but manages to catch herself on the ropes to prevent her from falling over. Ripley comes charging in to crush Hellstorm in the corner, but Valerie ducks down and mamages to toss Ripley over the top rope! But Ripley catches the top rope and swings around to the apron as Hellstorm stands back up and turns around! Ripley grabs the head of Hellstorm and runs her across the apron bashing her head into the top turnbuckle padding! Ripley grabs Hellstorm and drags her through the ropes onto the apron! But Hellstorm now firing back with punches of her own! And a chop from Ripley! Punches by Hellst-
Persephone: Come on ref they are out of the ring. Let’s start the count.
Rich Russillo: But suddenly Jack Ripley lifts Valerie Hellstorm up into a Fireman’s Carry Slam position! This isn’t good considering they are both standing on the apron! That is a longer and farther fall than you might think… Hellstorm rakes the eyes of Ripley who drops her. Hellstorm lunges for the legs of Ripley who leaps up across the apron and climbs the turnbuckle up to the top. Hellstorm falls flat on the apron as Ripley comes back off the top rope with a Flying Knee Drop to the back of Hellstorm! Hellstorm in pain now as she rolls in the ring but Ripley back through the ropes into the ring. Ripley runs off the ropes… Hellstorm eats a Running Clothesline sending her up and over the top rope flying to the outside crashing and burning! Ripley is on a roll here tonight!!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
James Peters: The referee beginning the ten count but Jack Ripley goes out to the apron! Ripley waiting for Valerie Hellstorm to get back up! Ripley is going for an Asai Moonsault! Ripley flippiing off the ropes an-
Rich Russillo: But Valerie Hellstorm moves out of the way just in time! Jack Ripley crashes and burns hard on the outside! Ripley holding his arm in pain, possibly having tweaked it here…
Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm rolls in and out of the ring to break the count.
Persephone: How dare she…
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm runs in at Jack Ripley with a Running Dropkick sending him back first into the barricade at ringside. Hellstorm grabs Ripley and bashes his head off the apron before tossing him back into the ring. Looks like Hellstorm wants to finish things in the ring here tonight rather than win by countout. Hellstorm rolls into the ring and makes the cover on Ripley.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Quick kickout by Jack Ripley who clearly still has a lot of fight in him! Valerie Hellstorm does not look pleased by how quickly Ripley kicked out there.
Persephone: Relatable.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm back up as she looks to do more damage to a struggling Jack Ripley holding his arm and side on the mat. Hellstorm grabs Ripley and picks him up before tossing him back first into the corner of the ring! Wow that was impressive strength from Hellstorm! Ripley’s back smashes off the turnbuckle paddings before he lands painfully on his shoulder in the corner. Ripley rolls over falling backwards in a sitting position in the corner as Hellstorm comes in to do damage. Hellstorm stomping away at Ripley now! Hellstorm stomping a mudhole in Ripley! Hellstorm drives the knee into the throat of Ripley choking away at him and come on this is a bit too much don’t you think?
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Break it up!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm finally breaks things up here to avoid getting disqualified. Hellstorm clearly not afraid to get a little dirty in order to get the job done against Jack Ripley here. Hellstorm now confronting the referee and reminding him that she has until five. Hellstorm yanks Ripley out of the corner and drags him into the ring. Hellstorm plants Ripley in the middle of the ring with a perfect form Suplex slamming him down on that sore back. Hellstorm to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Rich Russillo: Jack Ripley kicks out! Valerie Hellstorm able to almost get two there which is an improvement from last time where she couldn’t even get one. Ripley is starting to get worn out here and he might not last much longer if Hellstorm’s assault keeps up! Hellstorm not phased by the kickout as she gets right back to doing what she was doing. More stomps to Ripley in the middle of the ring. Hellstorm getting tired out as she stops for a moment to apply a Headlock to Ripley on the mat keeping him grounded while recovering some stamina. Ripley reaches up from behind at Hellstorm yanking at her hair trying to break free, but Valerie is able to move her head away after feeling the pain! Ripley now slowly powering back up to his feet as Hellstorm tries to use all her wait to keep him down. But it is to no avail as Ripley forces himself back up and grabs Hellstorm but Hellstorm slips out of it grabbing Ripley by the neck and slamming him back first onto the mat.
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm now brushing her hair back after Jack Ripley nearly managed to tear some of it out, and it’s clear that this match is starting to get to both Elitists.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm now running the ropes. Hellstorm with a diving palm thrust right into the nose of Ripley sending him reeling backwards. She might have just cracked his nose with that shot! Hellstorm now kicking at Ripley again but he fires back with shots at her leg! Ripley rolls up to his feet so he begins to throw hard punches to the gut of Hellstorm! Hellstorm retaliating with shots of her own but the will to fight on from Ripley! Ripley back up to his feet exchanging punches with his opponent in the ring! Ripley! Hellstorm! Ripley! Hellstorm! Ripley! Ripley! Ripley!
James Peters: Jack Ripley battling back and Valerie Hellstorm can’t even believe where this onslaught of shots is coming from. Hellstorm desperately assaulting the back of Ripley with hard pounding hammer like blows but he will not go down! Ripley eats a thumb to the eye from Hellstorm and drops to a knee. Absolutely disgusting tactics from Hellstorm here who clearly couldn’t get the job done properly! Hellstorm lifts Ripley up looking to drop him right on down! Running Powerslam to Ripley-
Rich Russillo: No! Jack Ripley falls down behind Valerie Hellstorm and grabs her from behind! Ripley tossing Hellstorm back with a German Suplex! No! A hard spinning elbow strike to the skull from Hellstorm sends Ripley staggering backwards into the corner. Hellstorm not allowing Ripley to seize control of the match! Hellstorm charges in with a Running Lariat! No! Ripley with a Spinning Elbow Strike of his own catching the charging opponent off guard! Ripley with a Running Boot to the head of Hellstorm! No! Hellstorm catches the leg of Ripley just in time! Hard elbow strikes to the face of Ripley! Hellstorm grabs the leg of Ripley and places it over the bottom rope before leaping up in the air and coming down with a hard knee strike to the ankle! That’s going to take yet another limb away from Ripley her-
James Peters: No! Jack Ripley moves his leg just in time! Jack Ripley catches Valerie Hellstorm in midair as she goes for that jumping knee strike! Ripley has Hellstorm up over his shoulder as he goes for a Powerslam! But Hellstorm is desperately flailing! She’s not going to let herself be driven into the mat! Ripley shrugs and tosses her backwards instead! Hellstorm flies over the top rope and crashes to the floor below! I’m not so sure that was any better landing than taking the Powerslam in the ring! But at least she can’t be pinned this way.
Persephone: Yes. There is that…
Rich Russillo: In a bad mood tonight are we my queen? Anyway the referee beginning the ten count now as Jack Ripley is recovering in the ring from the assault. Having finally overcome Valerie Hellstorm’s relentless offense he has definitely earned a moment to recover.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
James Peters: Jack Ripley recovers back up to his feet in the ring just as he notices Valerie Hellstorm do the same outside the ring. Ripley rolls out of the ring running around it coming after Hellstorm as she recovers on the steps. Ripley runs up off the steps and he grabs Hellstorm and spins her around with a Facebuster onto the floor! Ripley gaining momentum here as he grabs Hellstorm and throws her into the metal ring pole! No! Hellstorm manages to stop herself just in time!
Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Rich Russillo: And Valerie Hellstorm suddenly throws herself back into the ring! She’s going to beat the count but can the same be said of Jack Ripley?
Referee: NINE! TEN!
James Peters: No! Jack Ripley throws himself under the bottom rope just in time! Valerie Hellstorm nearly snuck out a win there!
Persephone: I suspect the referee was not counting fast enough there. But when are they?
Rich Russillo: Both competitors back in the ring as Valerie Hellstorm tries to catch Jack Ripley off guard with a Running Clothesline! But Ripley grabs the arm of Hellstorm and twists her around before taking her out with a Ripcord Lariat! Hard blow there from Ripley as Hellstorm is back up and Ripley continuing to hold the arm and pull her in with repeated forearms to the skull. Ripley is letting that Ripcord Lariat rip as Ripley tries to rip the arm right off Hellstorm! Hellstorm tries to retaliate with a Clothesline of her own… but a hard Headbutt from Ripley! Snapmare takedown from Jack as Hellstorm is sitting in the ring… RUNNING PUNT KICK TO THE SKULL FROM RIPLEY!!! Hellstorm is out! Ripley with the cover!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: Kickout by Valerie Hellstorm! Jack Ripley immediately rolls around on top of her and begins to deliver a series of hard knee strikes to the skull. Ripley trying to concuss his opponent here tonight and do some serious brain damage until she can no longer move! A good strategy to be honest. Knee strikes continue from Ripley until Hellstorm manages to pull herself away up to the ropes… but Ripley grabs Hellstorm and throws her over… BRIDGING NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Another pinfall!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm kicks out again! Hellstorm wisely now rolling away from Jack Ripley and looking to get out of the ring as fast as possible. She definitely needs some distance otherwise Ripley is going to continue to obliterate her. Ripley not allowing Hellstorm to roll out of the ring as he goes after her. He grabs Hellstorm by the hair as she rolls under the apron but Hellstorm grabs the neck of Ripley and pulls him down over the top rope! Hellstorm sends Ripley flying back into the ring ass he runs back into the ring herself looking to capitalize! Hellstorm grabs Ripley with a Running Bulldog! No! Ripley manages to duck out of it!

James Peters: But Jack Ripley not going for the pin! He’s going to do more damage first!
Persephone: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rich Russillo: Jack Ripley with demonic intentions now as he hoists himself up to the middle rope and prepares to take flight. Ripley lunging from the middle rope towards his rising opponent. FLYING DROPKICK!!!!-
James Peters: No! Valerie Hellstorm moves out the way! Hellstorm grabs the leg of Jack Ripley as he falls and twists him around into an Ankle Lock! Hellstorm looking for the submission as Ripley desperately tries to grasp upon the bottom rope! Ripley lunges forward and grabs the bottom rope! Valerie gotta break that thing up now! But she refuses!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!!! BREAK IT UP RIGHT NOW RIGHT QUICK OR ELSE!!!
Rich Russillo: But Valerie Hellstorm swings around kicking the arm of Jack Ripley off the rope! Valerie keeps the Ankle Lock locked in as Ripley suddenly twists around rolling her up into a Small Package! Ripley with the steal!

Ripley crumbles down to the mat collapsing as the referee saw nothing at all and looks on in confusion as Ripley collapses down in front of him. Hellstorm with a shit eating grin on her face now as she rubs her boot on the back of Ripley’s head disrespectfully. Hellstorm pulling Ripley up and looking to finish him off now. Hellstorm connects with The Final Flash! The G.T.S. connects and this has to be over for Ripley! She gets all of it! The cover!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: But Jack Ripley’s boot was under the bottom rope! The referee saw it just in time! Valerie Hellstorm cannot believe it! She is confronting the referee enraged. She is convinced that she had the match one and is accusing the referee of screwing her over!
(Valerie Hellstorm shoves the referee in anger.)
Rich Russillo: Watch it now…
Persephone: Disqualify her! She laid hands on you!
James Peters: Wait what… Valerie Hellstorm turns around…
Rich Russillo: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!! JACK RIPLEY CONNECTS WITH THE SUPERKICK OUTTA NOWHERE!!!! VALERIE HELLSTORM COLLAPSES AND SHE IS COMPLETELY UNCONSCIOUS!!! JACK RIPLEY WITH THE FINISHING MOVE, BUT CAN HE GET TO THE COVER AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN!?

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKK RIPPPPPPPPPPPLEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd erupts into cheers as Bounce Back by Big Sean hits and blasts throughout the arena. The referee is shown raising Jack Ripley’s hand in victory.)
Rich Russillo: What a hard fought victory for Jack Ripley. He proved just how good he really is yet again with this one!
James Peters: Props to Valerie Hellstorm for giving him one hell of a fight. She did all she could even resorting to dirty tactics in an attempt to screw him over but it wasn’t enough! Jack overcomes it all!!!!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for One Piece on Netflix starring Malcolm Jones and Andre Walker.)
[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER THIS WEEK ]
(The camera fades into a gym where people are shown pumping iron. There is also a wrestling ring at the gym where a stern looking older man in a suit is shown checking his watch.)
Trainer: He’s late. This is not acceptable. I will not have my time wasted like this.
(Suddenly the door to the gym opens as TLA enters accompanied by a number of Poons as well as Steroid Dawg and a number of his homies. TLA has brought his entire posse to the gym as the Poons begin to hit on a number of the people working out in the gym distracting them from their workouts.)
TLA: Orale homie you know I am a real busy hombre out here. You know I done came here with the quickness but I be arriving fashionably late like a superstar always do.
Trainer: That is not acceptable TLA. I have agreed to train you in the art of “pure wrestling”. You must learn this if you wish to survive your Hardcore Championship defense against Mr. Wrestling XIX at Territorial Invasion.
TLA: You know it ain’t no thang my dawg. I am all about that pure quality. Just like the mota you know I be slanging only the purest and I am sure any of the vatos can vouch for me. Just gotta throw em that pregunta.
Trainer: I assure you I will do no such thing. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt the Sixth. I come from a long line of legendary technical professional wrestlers who have paved the way in regards to the purest of wrestling maneuvers. To be frank as you stand now you must return to the basics and learn to wrestle the way they did back in the good old days before.
TLA: You know I am all kinds of schooled in that old school. Imma hardened veterano in this bitch got all kinds of cred that goes back years. I been on this EAW roster for the longest. You look around you ain’t see nobody who been doing this thang longer than me and doing it consistently on that full time schedule. I stay hustlin’ and you know that I been a student of the game. I been studying all of the legends of this great sport. You know I be doing Planchas and Suicide Dives n shit like the leyenda himself El Santo and Flying Crossbodies like the humblest man the sport has ever seen Mil Mascaras.
(Thesz is shown looking like he is about to throw up or have a heart attack.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: My god… the situation is worse than I feared. You think that these outlaw mudshow Mexican lucha libre gymnastics performers are good examples of old school wrestling? I am absolutely appalled by your ignorance. No we must begin immediately to educate you. To think that you have been in EAW for nearly a decade at this point. I wonder if you can even perform a proper wristlock?
TLA: You know I got all the opps wrists on lock.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: Somehow I doubt that very much. Alright TLA please enter the ring and we can begin the session. We will start with some of the basics of the sport as it was back when it first began. Back when men had respect for the sport. Now the following move is known as a Strangle Hold and it was popularized by the greatest wrestler of the 1920s Ed “Strangler” Lewis. I shall apply it now to demonstrate.
(One of TLA’s homies is shown standing in the corner of the ring smoking a blunt when Thesz sneaks up behind him to apply the hold.)
TLA: Damn y’all choking out my homie I should do something about this.
(However, TLA doesn’t do anything and his friend is shown passed out on the mat from the Sleeper Hold that was applied to him.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: As you can see when properly applied it severs the connection between the brain and its source of oxygen effectively strangling the opponent. Now you give it a try TLA.
TLA: Si si claro you know I gots this jefe.
(A man with a mustache emerges from behind Thesz and stands in the ring wearing a singlet. He bows to TLA who comes at him looking to apply the hold.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: Good good. Now begin to strangle him and remember proper form when using the hol-
(TLA comes charging in off the ropes leaping off the second rope he flies towards the opponent with a spinning headscissors making several rotations around the man before grabbing him from behind and slamming him backwards with the Sleeper Hold with his entire body wrapped around the man. The man begins to scream and taps out furiously as TLA also begins to bite his scalp drawing blood.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: What in tarnation…
TLA: Yo I think I won the lucha. You proud of me jefe?
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: I most certainly am not! What kind of disgusting savagery was that TLA? That was not pure wrestling and if we were operating under the catch-as-can rules of old you would have been immediately disqualified and barred from the sport by the local athletic commission.
TLA: Damn does that mean I failed?
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: You certainly did. Let’s try something else. Maybe we need to have a discussion about proper decision making before we actually engage in the physical aspects of pure wrestling. I will ask you now a series of questions.
TLA: Oh hell nah a pop quiz. I’m out. Got a hot mami waiting for me ain’t got all day.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: You won’t be leaving until I say so. Now answer the question. What is the proper way to counter an opponent who has you in a Headlock?
TLA: You know I got a lil somethin’ packed in my tights. Pull that fork out with the quickness and give em a lil stabby stab. The referee ain’t even see shit.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: …
TLA: ???
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: You do realize you are here to learn PURE WRESTLING TLA? And you think using weapons in a match counts as PURE WRESTLING?
TLA: You know I ain’t never thought about it like that before. Pero like back in them old ass days people was prolly using weapons n shit to kill each other so why not in the ring too?
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: This is not a sport of cavemen TLA. This is a sport of gentlemen! You will be competing in a Pure Rules Match at Territorial Invasion TLA as I need to remind you yet again. You will have to use your limited rope breaks in order to escape the opponents’ submission holds. Thus it is imperative that you learn the proper counters to techniques to avoid using as many rope breaks as possible.
TLA: I see… so if I break the ropes…
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: You will do no such thing! The ring is sacred TLA and I absolutely forbid you to sabotage it in any way.
TLA: Damn.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: Look… it’s not all bad. That was actually an effective Strangle Hold despite the unnecessary gymnastics and biting. If you can refine that slightly it may end up working… but you have to have picked up some submission knowledge in your career right?
TLA: All facts. I be knowing all them llaveos.
(TLA is shown charging in and locking in a Suspended Inverted Octopus Hold quickly submitting one trainee. He then grabs Thesz himself and rolls him up with an Arm Wrench Inside Cradle scoring a pinfall victory over him. Thesz looks absolutely dumbfounded as he gets back up and dusts himself off.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: What was… that was… that was actually not bad TLA… where did you learn those moves?
TLA: You know I just be coming in and hittin’ yo ass with La Espectrina make you do that tappy tap. Then I be rolling yo shit up with La Magistral. Payin’ that respect to the leyenda Negro Navarro out here. Gotta rep for that old school style like you said jefe.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: Hmmm that isn’t quite what I was looking for… but I can see there is some potential in these holds that you have clearly learned. I was concerned that you were little more than some street brawler hardcore wrestler who could do a few backflips but it is clear that you can be educated on pure wrestling after all. Come now TLA I shall teach you the art of the bearhug next.
TLA: :whoa: You know I ain’t swing that way papi.
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: Nonsense TLA. Bring it in amigo.
(TLA is shown struggling as Thesz approaches him and locks him in a hug with an iron clad grip. TLA is unable to escape as he feels the life begin to be drained out of him. Suddenly a loud growling noise is heard from behind him in the ring.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: A… a dog? There’s a dog in the ring??? I can assure you there is nothing pure about that!
TLA: Y’all best watch out TGH my homie. My dawg Steroid Dawg gonna get her bite on and you know that you ain’t never getting out her submission hold when she get it locked in!
(Thesz immediately relinquishes the hold and bails out of the ring before Steroid Dawg can lunge towards him.)
Thesz Gotch Hackenschmidt VI: I think… I think that is enough for today. You have clearly learned a lot about pure wrestling in this session… but there is a long way to go! I expect you to be on time tomorrow morning! We shall start our day early tomorrow and unlike today I will not go easy on you!
TLA: I can already feel myself becoming a technical wrestling master for real. I might even try out for the Olympics at this rate. Gonna get me that gold medal n shit.
(Thesz is shown facepalming as it is clear he has a struggle on his hands but he is determined to not give up as he will strive to continue to prepare TLA for his Pure Rules Match with Mr. Wrestling XIX at Territorial Invasion. But that will have to wait for another day as TLA has pulled out what appears to be an explosive chancla and is now asking for help on how to come up with an effective submission utilizing it.)
( Voltage returns to the show with ‘Ambitionz as a Ridah’ by Tupac already playing throughout the halfway point of the song. The camera fades to the front row seats, revealing TLA sitting by at ringside, flashing a smile across his face as he looks at the camera and then turns his gaze toward the stage, eager to watch what’s going to unfold soon. )
James Peters: We are back live again, ladies and gentlemen, on Sunday Night Voltage, and here’s TLA. He’s here to watch the next match about to come right up, which involves his current challenger right here!
( ‘Spiders’ by System of a Down can be heard as the crowd begins to react. TLA still has a smile on his face, watching as the fans boo Mr. Wrestling XIX, who walks out and starts staring down the Hardcore Champion. He stops in front of the ring and spots TLA sitting at ringside. Mr. Wrestling XIX doesn’t give much time for TLA around there and then goes inside the ring, preparing for this match right away. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE!… WEIGHING IN AT 233 POUNDS!… MR. WRESTLINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!… X!… I!!!!…. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( ‘El Gavilan’ by Luis R. Conriquez (Feat. Peso Pluma & Tony Aguirre) then starts playing as Roberto De La Rosa walks out into a mixed reaction coming right from the crowd. Now, TLA smiles because he loves his homie, Roberto De La Rosa, around here. Roberto walks down and throws a thumbs up for TLA as TLA salutes back to Roberto when he arrives in front of the ring before Roberto steps up to the apron and goes inside the ring to come face to face with Mr. Wrestling XIX. )
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT!… FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!…. THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER!… ‘EL PADRASTRO’ !…. ROBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEEE LAAAAAAAAAAAA ROSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX takes on Mr. 24/7 with the Hardcore champion, TLA, watching both men from the ringside! Mr. Wrestling XIX has his sights set tightly on the Hardcore championship at Territorial Invasion. Roberto has to prepare himself for whatever’s to come next, especially knowing he could cash in on a Champion at any time. Both men have their goals to focus on tonight, but one thing they need to work on first is securing a win out of this match to declare which one of these men will walk out of the arena tonight with a victory in their hands.
Persephone: I demand a double count-out!
Rich Russillo: One was unable to win an ultimate opportunity, while the other won the 24/7 battle royale. However, the one that didn’t win has also been granted another chance, so this is an interesting matchup between two people who may become champions sooner rather than later. Roberto and Mr. Wrestling XIX come face to face in the center of the ring, locking horns with a collar and elbow tie-up!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX moves quickly and sends Roberto sprawling to the ground with a quick drop-toe hold, leaving the 24/7 contract holder kissing the mat. Mr. Wrestling XIX then looks to apply an early crossface on Roberto to put him down! However, Roberto manages to slip his arms back under him, grabbing Mr. Wrestling XIX by the legs instead and now trying to prop one of his elbows onto one of Mr. Wrestling XIX’s legs! Mr. Wrestling uses his free leg to give Roberto the boot as Roberto regains some momentum, and then he takes a breather, leaning against the ropes.
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX springs back to his feet and strides toward Roberto, who’s already standing near the ropes, sending him flying across the ring as Roberto rebounds off. Mr. Wrestling XIX tries to catch him with a quick clothesline to bring him down, but Roberto manages to duck underneath and positions himself behind his opponent.
James Peters: With a quick slap to the back of Mr. Wrestling XIX’s head, he turns him around and propels him into the ropes. Mr. Wrestling XIX ricochets off the ropes, and in that split second, Roberto attempts a Dropkick! However, Mr. Wrestling XIX sidesteps the incoming kick, skillfully avoiding it, and promptly shoves Roberto down to the canvas. Without wasting a moment, Mr. Wrestling XIX springs to his feet, locking eyes with Roberto De La Rosa, and charges in to deliver a boot to Roberto’s jaw!
Rich Russillo: Roberto feels his jaw locked in place after the powerful boot, making it hard to move as Mr. Wrestling XIX takes advantage of the situation, seizing the opportunity to restrain Roberto immediately in a headlock.
James Peters: He tightens his grip, further restricting Roberto’s movement, and begins to apply pressure while acknowledging the audience’s cheers. Roberto starts to struggle, attempting to pry Mr. Wrestling XIX’s arm off and break free from the headlock!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX isn’t giving Roberto any room to escape. Instead, he remains focused on working his opponent’s strength down and ensuring he can put away the 24/7 Battle Royale winner!
James Peters: Roberto is clearly feeling uncomfortable in the hold, which allows Mr. Wrestling XIX to apply even more pressure. The hold tightens, and the referee keeps a close eye on Roberto’s condition, checking if he’s okay. Roberto, though struggling, continues to signal to the referee that he’s still in the fight and not ready to give up just yet.
Persephone: Man, just give up so we can move on from this match. Like, go wrestle for Showdown or something if this is so-called real wrestling you want to do because all I see is another run-of-the-mill shit in my book that I wouldn’t even bat an eye at. Can we just fast-track this and wrap it up sooner?
James Peters: Roberto starts getting back on his feet, but the hold is still hanging around his head, wrapping him into a tight spot, making him feel uncomfortable to breathe. Roberto now starts jamming the back elbow into Mr. Wrestling XIX’s gut, and now Mr. Wrestling XIX begins to bend down by those low back elbow shots that are coming straight into his gut.
Rich Russillo: Roberto gives Mr. Wrestling XIX the cold shoulder and then delivers a double ax handle right on the spine, catching Mr. Wrestling XIX off guard. This move really takes the wind out of his sails. Roberto refocuses, shakes his head, and then takes Mr. Wrestling down with a snapmare, followed by a Dropkick from behind!
Persephone: You know, old people often have a bad back, and I think Roberto really might have just pushed him towards needing spinal fusion surgery. Well, that would be a shame, yet not so surprising. I told him to retire, but he never listened to me.
Rich Russillo: Roberto is able to take down Mr. Wrestling this time and immediately goes for a waistlock from behind Mr. Wrestling XIX, locking him up and tearing him down there as Mr. Wrestling XIX is now the one who is trapped by his opponent. Mr. Wrestling XIX throws hands and tries to figure a way out!
James Peters: Roberto just makes it much worse and tightens the hold up so the cry from his lungs can be heard from here! Roberto releases a hold of Mr. Wrestling XIX and sends both knees crashing into the side of his opponent, leaving Mr. Wrestling XIX in a world of hurt, struggling to find his bearings on the canvas! Roberto goes for another one once more and leaves Mr. Wrestling XIX crying down there while he’s on the ground. Now he quickly picks him up and uses the forearm to jam his backbone once more before changing his game plan all around there!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling finds himself sprawled on the ground while Roberto slowly rolls back onto his feet and looks down at Mr. Wrestling XIX sitting there, feeling an intense pain that has been exacerbated by the damage already done by Roberto.
James Peters: Roberto takes a few steps in from behind and uses his right knee to bash the back of Mr. Wrestling XIX’s head while grabbing it! Roberto slowly picks Mr. Wrestling XIX off the ground, and now, with his focus shifting to somewhere that could cause more damage to his opponent, he sends Mr. Wrestling XIX flying down into the corner and runs down to clash with him!
Persephone: PFFT! HE MISSES! :mjlol2:
James Peters: Roberto tries to hit the clothesline while Mr. Wrestling XIX stays down at the corner, but Mr. Wrestling barely avoids the attack, and Roberto just crashes directly into the corner turnbuckle! Roberto ends up holding down his chest while Mr. Wrestling slowly gets back up on his feet and stands right behind him. Mr. Wrestling jolts him while Roberto is still stunned by the sudden cause of chaos from Mr. Wrestling XIX. Mr. Wrestling turns him around and seizes him in… A HALF-NELSON BACKBREAKER, TAKING DOWN ROBERTO! MR. 24/7 HAS FALLEN, AND MR. WRESTLING XIX DROPS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: Not so close for Mr. Wrestling to pick up a win there, as Roberto manages to roll his shoulder off the mat in the nick of time, preventing the referee from counting to three and escaping defeat by a whisker!
James Peters: That Half Nelson backbreaker was certainly something else, hitting like a ton of bricks, leaving Roberto right in the depths of excruciating pain there. Roberto now has to nurse his aching back after it’s been receiving some special attention from his opponent there!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX is now taking advantage as Roberto still remains on the ground, beginning to pick things up once more and now targeting something else – Roberto’s calf. He’s got a firm grip on it! Mr. Wrestling now applies another layer of pressure, making his fist into a hammer and driving it right into that calf, causing Roberto to cringe and struggle his way out from those shots coming directly after his calves!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX now releases those calves and picks Roberto up from the ground back onto his feet, swinging him up to his side and quickly planting Roberto right onto the ground with a Sidewalk Slam! A Sidewalk Slam just dropped Roberto right to the ground, and he hooks a leg for a cover again! Mr. Wrestling desperately wants to pick up a win in this contest as soon as possible there!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: ROBERTO STILL KICKS OUT!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling there still seems to be struggling to find his way out to pick up a win in this match. After those moves being hit time and time again, maybe his chances for a win in this match are getting closer, but it’s just dependent on how Mr. Wrestling XIX is going to work things out.
Persephone: Talking about working things out, he hasn’t been doing any fucking thing offensive in this competition to show he could win this match, so why do we need to emphasize it? He’s one of the dumbest old men I have ever met in my life to let a little beat stealing a win from him at Bloodsport. Such a shame to know that, yet you guys really thought he had a chance. Not anymore, or ever will I have any sympathy for his success. He should go out on the streets and ask people for attention for his own betterment next time.
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling scrambles back to his feet as soon as he is able to take down Roberto De La Rosa again. Roberto is still nursing his own back and anywhere that has been targeted by Mr. Wrestling XIX. Mr. Wrestling, in his own way, gets back to his feet, and now he reaches both feet, setting himself up for another attack on Roberto. He picks Roberto up as well, seizing him in a suplex position and trying to hit THE ‘CASH OUT’ FINISHER, BUT ROBERTO MANAGES TO SLIP RIGHT DOWN BEHIND MR. WRESTLING XIX!… SAITO SUPLEX BY ROBERTO!
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING HAS BEEN DROPPED BY A SITOUT SUPLEX, AND NOW HE’S BARELY EDGED OUT! ROBERTO MAKES HIS WAY DOWN TO THE CORNER, AND MR. WRESTLING HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN IN FLAMES JUST THERE, STRUGGLING TO GET BACK! MR. WRESTLING XIX IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE, AND HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON ANYTHING AFTER THAT SITOUT SUPLEX! HE’S FIGHTING BACK TO BOTH FEET, BUT ROBERTO ALREADY HAS HIS EYES SET ON HIS TARGET!….
Rich Russillo: ‘TALON DE ÁGUILA’ !!!!!!!!!!!! ROBERTO DROPS HIM AGAIN WITH A WICKED SPEAR! ROBERTO HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEE-
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING XIX KICKS OUT AT TWO! HE KICKS OUT OF THE SPEAR IN TIME!
Persephone: Boo hoo, your moves are absolutely terrible. Do better next time so maybe you can actually win, fucking dummy.
James Peters: ROBERTO JUST MISSED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE A VICTORY BECAUSE MR. WRESTLING XIX IS HANGING BY A THREAD IN THIS MATCH, AND HE’S ON THE BRINK OF A GAME-CHANGING COMEBACK. HE’S JUST ONE MOVE AWAY FROM CLOSING THE DEAL!
Rich Russillo: ROBERTO HAS A VICE-LIKE GRIP ON MR. WRESTLING XIX, HOISTING HIM OFF THE GROUND! ROBERTO RISES TO HIS FEET, HOLDING MR. WRESTLING IN A CLINCH! HE’S ABOUT TO DELIVER THE ‘THE CALLING CARD’ PILEDRIVER AND MAKE HIS MARK!
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING IS ABLE TO ESCAPE AND LANDS BOTH FEET TO THE GROUND! ROBERTO LETS GO OF THE HOLD AS MR. WRESTLING FORCES HIM TO DO SO! ROBERTO RUSHES BACK IN, CHARGES FOR ANOTHER SPEAR TO CUT HIM IN HALF! MR. WRESTLING WITH A KNEE JAUNT CATCHES ROBERTO RIGHT WHEN HE’S CHARGING!
Rich Russillo: MR. WRESTLING PICKS HIM UP AND SENDS HIM FLYING INTO THE AIR!… ‘WRESTLING DRIVER’ BY MR. WRESTLING XIX! HE JUST TOSSED HIM INTO THE STRATOSPHERE WITH THAT MICHINOKU DRIVER!
James Peters: ROBERTO HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN BY THE MICHINOKU DRIVER FROM MR. WRESTLING XIX, AND HE PICKS UP THE PIECES RIGHT ABOUT NOW! BOTH FEET ARE ON THE GROUND, AND MR. WRESTLING BEGINS SETTING ROEBTO UP FOR A BIG MOVE!…
Rich Russillo: MR. WRESTLING’S DEADLIEST FINISHING MOVE! THE PSYCHO DRIVER JUST SLAMMED ROBERTO RIGHT BACK INTO THE GROUND! HE’S GONE! MR. WRESTLING DROPS RIGHT INTO A COVER, AND HE’S GOING TO PICK UP A WIN THERE, LEAVING ROBERTO IN THE DUST LIKE YESTERDAY’S NEWS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… MR. WRESTLING XIX!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX has just defeated and sent a clear message straight to the Hardcore champion who has been watching him from the ringside area here tonight! That’s definitely a surprise and shows how ready Mr. Wrestling XIX is now when he has his goals set for the EAW hardcore championship!
Persephone: Oh cool! Anyway, can we just move on already?
Rich Russillo: TLA may have to keep his eyes on Mr. Wrestling XIX more and more because the statement that has been made has delivered a loud message for TLA to be in clear understanding of him. But would TLA really feel like that, or would he just remain strong and make sure nothing will be ahead of him? We will keep our eyes on this!
( ‘Spiders’ by System of a Down plays as Mr. Wrestling XIX kneels down while Roberto rolls down towards the side of the ring. Mr. Wrestling kneels down while looking down at TLA, who is also looking at him. TLA slowly gets off his seat and picks up the Hardcore championship from his lap, then puts it up on his shoulder. Mr. Wrestling sees what TLA is trying to do there; he shakes his head, then gets back to his feet, and both men remain staring down at each other from a little far distance before the scene fades into a commercial break. )

(‘Anti-Hero [Rock Version]’ by Taylor Swift begins to blast through the speakers as the crowd gives a nice and positive reaction to Jamie Cross who is posing on top of the ramp before making her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS… WEIGHING IN AT 133 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE IRONWOMAN’…JAMIE CROSS!!!!!!
James Peters: While Jamie Cross fell short in defeating Milli Banks for the Specialists Championship, she put out a wonderful performance. Last week, she had a very interesting run in with Mei Sasaki and some of the comments caught Jamie off guard.
Rich Russillo: Mei Sasaki said that Jamie Cross may not be cut out for this because she lost a couple of championship opportunities. Now, I’m just baffled with just saying all of that.
Persephone: Honestly, Jamie Cross should quit now so that we don’t have to see this match. Like, I know that it sounds weird coming from Mei, but that doesn’t make it any less right.
James Peters: :francis:
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by Rob Zombie begins to blast through the speakers as the crowd stands up and showers Minerva with a huge reception. Minerva comes out, doing her little pose before making her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT… FROM COYOTE FLATS, TEXAS… WEIGHING IN AT 122 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE PRINCESS KILLER’… MINERVA!!!!!!
James Peters: Now, here is someone who isn’t too keen on how Bloodsport concluded. She wanted to defeat Rex McAllister in her own merit, but —
Rich Russillo: SHHHHH. Anyway, Minerva last week had her sights on persuading Jamie O’Hara on why you-know-who was chosen for War Games, despite losing at Bloodsport and that she would have been a better pick, but Jamie wasn’t having it. Although, things got interesting later in the night as she found herself in a awful situation with Alex Myers and Ruler, which Jack Ripley would get himself involved in.
Persephone: You’re telling me that they had the chance to kill that bitch and they didn’t take it? :wtf: I hate it here.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Jamie Cross extends a hand for Minerva to shake. Minerva looks at Jamie’s hand as she swipes it away, letting her know that she’s not going into this match to play nice.)
James Peters: Well, it seems like the attempt at good sportsmanship did not pan out the way that Jamie Cross had hoped. But, Minerva is never known to be kind inside the ring. Jamie shrugs her shoulders, realizing that she should have expected that from the former World Champion. After all, she did say that Minerva was her fourth favorite Elitist. She gets in a boxing position as she and Minerva are looking for the right moment to go for a lock up and…they proceed to lock up, but right away, it seems like Minerva can feel Jamie’s strength. She finds herself backing away a little bit, knowing that she should have expected this amount of power from ‘The Ironwoman.’
Rich Russillo: Minerva looks for another opening as she goes for a lock up once more with James Cross. This time, Minerva races behind Jamie, wrapping her arms around Jamie’s waist. Minerva applies a waist lock before going for a waist takedown. She has her cheek to the spine of Jamie as she wrenches in that waist lock. She goes for the waist into a front headlock as she proceeds to punch the spine of Jamie, hoping to keep her down. She connects with a series of knees to the gut of Jamie. Minerva goes back to the horizontal set of ropes, rebounding herself off of them and connecting with scissors kick — BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO TWIST HERSELF BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE! SHE THROWS A PUNCH TO ‘THE PRINCESS KILLER.’ JAMIE THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH TO MINERVA AS THAT TAKES HER TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! JAMIE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A DROPKICK AS THAT TAKES MINERVA TO A KNEE.
Persephone: Wow, we see Minerva in her natural habitat on her knees as this giant alien looking biatch looks to get herself in the upper hand of this match. She picks up Minerva and connects with a chop to chest as Minerva looks like she was sent to god as she falls back. She manages to catch herself to the ropes as Jamie proceeds to connect with punches to the top of her skull before grabbing her by the arm and Irish whipping her, but how predictable, Minerva manages to counter that whip, sending Jamie to the ropes. Minerva races towards to get to Jamie, but Jamie connects with a shoulder block as that takes Minerva back. Jamie uses the ropes to the best of her ability before connecting with a falling inverted DDT! Jamie with the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TT—
James Peters: Minerva with a kick out! Jamie Cross gets to her feet as she gets Minerva by the nape of her neck. Jamie connects with a knee to the gut of ‘The Princess Killer’ before pulling Minerva closer into position and connecting with a butterfly suplex as Minerva lands directly in her back. Jamie gets Minerva into a seated position as she proceeds to connect with a rest hold on the former World Champion. Jamie twists herself to one of her knees as Minerva still has the rest hold applied to her. Jamie connects with a snapmare as Minerva finds herself in a seated position. SHE GETS IN FRONT OF MINERVA BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO MINERVA! THIS TAKES MINERVA BACK! SHE CONNECTS WITH A STANDING FROG SPLASH AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER AGAIN!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTT—
Rich Russillo: Minerva with a kick out! Jamie Cross gets Minerva up by the back of her head as she connects with an uppercut, sending Minerva back! Jamie connects with another uppercut to Minerva as that takes her back to the ropes. Jamie goes after Minerva, connecting with a knee strike to Minerva. THIS CAUSES MINERVA TO GO FORWARD AS JAMIE MANAGES TO GET MINERVA INTO POSITION. SHE CONNECTS WITH A BULLDOG BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A FUJIWARA ARMBAR! ARE WE GOING TO SEE JAMIE GET A SUBMISSION VICTORY OVER MINERVA? BUT, MINERVA IS PULLING JAMIE’S HAIR DOWN AS THAT IS ENOUGH TO RELEASE THE ARMBAR!
James Peters: Jamie find themselves up to their feet at the same time. Jamie goes towards Minerva with a forearm, but Minerva manages to duck the forearm! She manages to shove Jamie by her waist into one of the corners! She connects with a bunch of shoulder thrusts to Jamie’s gut! Minerva finds herself in a straight position as she manages to connect with some forearms to the face! THEN, SHE GOES FOR A BUNCH OF STOMPS TO THE GUT OF JAMIE AS SHE MANAGES TO TAKE HER DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION! MINERVA IS STILL STOMPING! THE REFEREE IS GOING TO NEED TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THIS!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! STEP AWAY, MINERVA!
Persephone: Minerva’s stomping a hole through Jamie right now. Feels familiar. 😔💔
Rich Russillo: Seph, it’s going to be fine —
Persephone: DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH ME, RICH!
James Peters: Well, the referee managed to get himself in the middle of this mess. He briefly scowled Minerva for that as she didn’t respond to it. It seems like she’s more than clearly focused on trying to wear down ‘The Ironwoman.’ SHE PICKS UP JAMIE, GRABBING HER UNDERNEATH HER CHIN AS SHE THROWS HER BACK INTO THE SAME CORNER AGAIN. SHE CONNECTS WITH A HIGH-ANGLE FOOT CHOKE AT THE CORNER! JAMIE’S BODY IS SHOVED BACK AS MINERVA KEEPS IT THERE, CAUSING THE REFEREE TO START ANOTHER COUNT WITH HER!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HER, MINERVA!
Rich Russillo: Once more, Minerva releases her foot from Jamie Cross! She glares at the referee before pulling Jamie closer to her, lifting her up and connecting with a swinging neck breaker! Minerva goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTT—
Persephone: Jamie with a kick out and yippie, that means this match is still continuing! Just as if my life doesn’t have any more inconveniences! Minerva gets Jamie and connects with a leg scissors around the neck of Jamie as she looks to use this as a way to wear down the stronger woman! Now, I would love nothing more than to see Jamie squash Minerva like a bug, but things aren’t looking so good! Come on, Jamie! Minerva can’t weigh that much! Put me out of my misery!
James Peters: Jamie Cross is trying to get the leg scissors off her neck! But, you can tell that there’s a bit of trouble. It seems like Minerva has a pretty solid grasp, but Jamie manages to roll herself into an all fours position, but Minerva still has the hold applied on Jamie! But, Jamie manages to get to her knees as Minerva still has the hold applied! This is unbelievable! Jamie is slowly finding her way up to her feet with Minerva placed on her shoulders! Jamie connects with an electric chair as she sends Minerva back! Jamie finds her way back to her feet as Minerva is slowly trying to get herself to her feet! JAMIE GETS MINERVA AND THROWS HER TO THE ROPES! SHE RUNS AFTER THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION WITH A RUNNING CORNER KICK BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A ROLLING SENTON TO THE CORNER! JAMIE MANAGES TO SQUISH MINERVA AS SHE ROLLS HERSELF TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: Jamie Cross begins to go back before charging at Minerva and nailing her with a kitchen sink! Jamie pulls Minerva by her feet and away from the ropes! She grabs Minerva by her foot, extending it and connecting with an elbow drop to the foot, causing ‘The Princess Killer’ to yelp in pain! Jamie gets Minerva to her stomach and it seems like Jamie is trying to apply a single leg Boston crab! But, Minerva is shaking her head ‘no!’ SHE REFUSES TO LET HERSELF BE IN THIS POSITION! BUT, JAMIE PROCEEDS TO STOMP THE BACK OF MINERVA UNTIL SHE STOPS MOVING, ALLOWING FOR THE SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB TO BE APPLIED! JAMIE TRIES TO PULL MINERVA AWAY FROM THE ROPES, TRYING TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS HOLD! NOW, I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW IT MUST FEEL TO HAVE YOUR LOWER BACK BE SAT ON?
Persephone: I can’t imagine how it feels to feel, you know?
James Peters: Some deep thinking from Persephone, but Minerva is refusing to die! She is looking straight for the bottom rope! She’s biting her fist, knowing that getting to that bottom rope is going to take a ton of strength from her, but she’s more than willing to do that! She begins to drag her body to the bottom rope as there’s some sign of movement. Jamie knows exactly what is going on and proceeds to release the single Boston crab hold a bit to pull Minerva away from those ropes! Minerva’s nails might as well be shown against the canvas as she finds herself being pulled away from the direction of those ropes! BUT, MINERVA MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF UNDERNEATH JAMIE AS SHE GRABS JAMIE AND GOES FOR A ROLL UP! IS MINERVA GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWW—
Rich Russillo: No! Jamie Cross manages to get herself out of the way! She connects with a single leg dropkick that sends Minerva crashing down! But, Minerva manages to find her way back to her feet! She gets stopped with a jumping knee by Jamie before Jamie connects with an olympic slam! Minerva is trying to get herself to her feet, but Jamie goes right after her like a freaking train and connects with a slingshot! She finds her way up to her feet before following that up with a superkick as Minerva finds herself to her knee! Jamie pulls Minerva closer before taking her back with a butterfly suplex! You can tell that Minerva is getting wobbly, but she finds it within herself to rise back to her feet! SHE PULLS MINERVA INTO A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION BEFORE TWISTING HER INTO A KNEE, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK THE KNEE! SHE MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF THE RING BEFORE JAMIE COULD CONNECT WITH THE ‘ARC REACTOR!’ THAT WAS WONDERFUL RING AWARENESS FROM THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!
Persephone: BUT, MINERVA IS A DUMB BITCH AS JAMIE CROSS IS GOING TO FLATTEN HER LIKE A PANCAKE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A FOSBURY FLOP OVER THE TOP ROPE, LANDING ON ‘THE PRINCESS KILLER’ ON THE OUTSIDE! I THINK THAT MINERVA IS DEAD! SOMEONE RINGS THE BELL TO END THIS MATCH!
James Peters: I don’t think it’s as easy as that, Seph. Jamie Cross lands right on her feet as Minerva totally feels that Fosbury flop! The height that Jamie was able to get from that was quite impressive! SHE GOES TO GET MINERVA FROM THE GROUND AS SHE — NO, MINERVA WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT CAUSES JAMIE TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! Minerva with that uppercut out of nowhere, as she’s now bought herself some valuable time to recover! Minerva is crawling towards the edge of the apron, trying to pick herself to her feet as Jamie looks to get Minerva! But, Minerva connects with an elbow to Jamie, creating a bit of distance! Jamie runs after Minerva, looking to connect with a big boot, but Minerva pulls down the skirt of the apron as Jamie gets her foot stuck inside there!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA BEGINS TO CLUB THE BACK OF JAMIE CROSS, TRYING TO GET HER DOWN! THEN, SHE GRABS JAMIE’S LEG THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE RING SKIRT BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A LEG WHIP, CAUSING JAMIE TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND! MINERVA GRABS JAMIE’S LEG AND SLAMS IT AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON, CAUSING JAMIE TO YELP IN PAIN! Minerva is looking to get Jamie on the apron and honestly, I’m not too sure what the former World Champion is looking to do, but she gets Jamie into position before connecting with ‘Twilight!’ Her variation of the inverted face locks elbow drop as Jamie falls down on the apron! Minerva rolls Jamie back inside the ring as she slides out of the ring as well! Minerva goes for the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHHRRRRR—
Persephone: OH GOD, WHY CAN’T THIS MATCH END? :noah:
James Peters: JAMIE CROSS WITH A KICK OUT AS MINERVA PULLS JAMIE CLOSER TO THE CORNER AND IT SEEMS LIKE MINERVA IS GOING FOR ‘HELL’S BELLS’ — THE ARABIAN PRESS! MINERVA SPRINGBOARDS HERSELF FROM A SEATED POSITION AND GOES BACK DOWN TO JAMIE! BUT, JAMIE MANAGES TO GET HER KNEES UP! Minerva’s ribs totally felt the impact of that as Jamie managed to do that small thing that could mean the difference between win and loss there! Minerva is clutching to her ribs, realizing that if there is a time to put away Jamie, it has to be now! SHE MANAGES TO PICK UP ‘THE IRONWOMAN’ FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS’ — THE TWISTING BRAIN BUSTER THAT HAS WON HER MATCHES IN THE PAST! BUT, JAMIE BLOCKS THE MOVE! MINERVA GOES FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS’ ONCE MORE, BUT JAMIE BLOCKS THE MOVE! SHE MANAGES TO PUSH MINERVA AWAY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE CROSS RUNS TOWARDS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION AND CONNECTS WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS, BUT SHE TRANSITIONS THAT INTO A CROSSFACE! But, Minerva manages to get her foot on the bottom rope! Jamie releases the hold as she picks up Minerva and connects with a lariat to the knee of ‘The Ironwoman!’ Now, it seems like Jamie is hyping herself up, looking to get one of the biggest victories of her entire career! SHE PICKS UP MINERVA AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO ATTEMPT ‘ARC REACTOR,’ THE SAME MOVE THAT WE SAW EARLIER IN THE MATCH AS SHE MANAGES TO GET MINERVA IN A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION! BUT, MINERVA MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY! SHE JUMPS DOWN TO HER FEET AS JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A BACK KICK TO THE GUT! SHE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE BACK OF MINERVA’S NECK!
Persephone: Wow, poor Minerva! Not really! I hope she dies. Jamie too. I can’t stand either of them.
James Peters: BUT, MINERVA MANAGES TO STOP JAMIE IN HER TRACKS! ’THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ — MINERVA MANAGES TO TAKE DOWN JAMIE CROSS WITH ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH!’ THAT IS HER VARIATION OF THE SUPERKICK AS MINERVA IS STARTING TO GET FIRED UP! SHE SEES JAMIE ON THE FLOOR AS SHE MANAGES TO PICK UP JAMIE AND GET HER IN POSITION FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS!’ THE MOVE CONNECTS AS JAMIE IS DRIVEN DOWN TO THE MAT! MINERVA GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ begins to play through the speakers once more as Minerva rises up from Jamie Cross. The referee raises Minerva’s hand in victory, acknowledging her as the winner of the match.)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…MINERVA!!!!
Persephone: About time this match was over! Minerva picks up the win and she did not need anyone to throw in the towel to Jamie Cross! Although, I think that anyone would be fortunate for the gesture!
James Peters: A wonderful effort from Jamie Cross, who brought the fire and spunk to make Minerva work for the victory, but it wasn’t enough to secure the victory for herself!
Rich Russillo: Jamie Cross just needs to dig in a little deeper because when you’re in the ring with someone like Minerva, you’re going to need to throw EVERYTHING at her. Congratulations to Minerva!

( As the ‘VOLTAGE’ logo flashed in the bottom right corner of the screen, it initiated the return from commercial as the hard-camera slowly lowered from it’s stationary position aside the rafters; panning down towards the fans in attendance, before switching to a secondary camera that showcased a MASS wave of fans; but furthermore, the titan-tron which had the yellow ‘VOLTAGE’ panel over it for the time being; though it swiftly changed, to read out ‘CAPTAIN CHARISMA’ along it; as ‘Self Help Tape’ By Moses Sumney blasted through the speakers as the fans ROARED in praise; as none other than the General Manager of Voltage himself, Captain Charisma made his way out to the ring; and Finland was LOVING IT! Captain Charisma relishing in the moment to be able to be in front of the fans, though wasting little time to get to the ring as he made his way down the ramp quickly; turning to move up the steel steps as he took little time to transition himself inside of the ring, a mic in hand that he brought out with him; as the General Manager was clearly set to make some sort of announcement that left EVERYONE on the edge of their seats en route to Territorial Invasion! As Captain Charisma set himself in the ring, and ‘Self Help Tapes’ slowly faded out; a grin appeared on his face, as he slowly raised the microphone. )
Captain Charisma: So Finland . . . How’re we doing tonight?
Crowd: IKHSEFIJUHFBJKSDLBGFGSKHJFGVBSDKUHJFSDWBVGfkuhjwvbfukyhvfWKUJVBKFUJHVSKFHJUVKJH!!!!
( The crowd POPPED heavily for CC, which forged a smirk on his face as he chuckled, before collecting his bearings. )
Captain Charisma: That’s what I like to hear. Now I won’t take too much time tonight, we still have a show to run though so I’ll try to make this quick; but I do have a set reason to come out here in front of LOVELY Ol’ Helsinki; and that is for one thing, and one thing only…
( Captain Charisma says, stretching out the silence to garner some suspense… )
Captain Charisma: Divide and Conquer.
( The crowd made a slight pop as all attention was now turned to the Divide and Conquer match that was set to happen at Territorial Invasion. )
Captain Charisma: Now unfortunately, I couldn’t be the first one to make an announcement regarding this match due to the fact that Heidi Huxley beat me to the punch on Showdown last week, BUT just because I wasn’t the first one to make an announcement; doesn’t mean that my announcement has any less of an impact than Heidi’s own. See, because whilst she might’ve announced one of her competitors in Delilah Rose that will end up competing for the Showdown brand as part of the Divide and Conquer match? It’s only right that I submit the competitors, respectively from the VOLTAGE brand, that will be joining Ms. Rose in such a bout at Territorial Invasion.
Captain Charisma: It took a lot of deliberation. With a match as hectic and wild as this, with teams being infused with Elitist from all THREE brands? Picking the perfect competitors is certainly a process I don’t treat lightly. But after going through the Voltage Roster I can confidently say that I have picked a PERFECT bunch to go into this match and do the Yellow brand proud. Which leads me to say that joining Delilah in this match, will be . . .
Captain Charisma: Mei Sasaki, and Sierra Everett.
( The crowd BOO’D the selections of CC; choosing two Elitist’s who weren’t necessarily the most favored amongst the fans; as Captain Charisma put a hand out, chuckling into the microphone. )
Captain Charisma: It might not be the most positively approved decision, but trust me; those two will be putting their best foot forward and providing a performance that will be worthy of their insertion into this match.
Captain Charisma: . . . But I wasn’t done with just them.
( Captain Charisma said, his grin growing as the fans CLEARLY garnered more interest; as they reeled on the edge of their seats, clearly wanting CC to expand on what he meant by that. )
Captain Charisma: Because, on the opposing side of Sierra, Delilah, and Mei; we will see both Roberto De La Rosa and Korey Gaines being a part of the OTHER team to go against them – Voltage spreading on BOTH sides of the field amidst this match up!
( The crowd gave a slightly better reaction to the latter announced contenders, a mix of cheers and boos; as Captain Charisma held his hands behind his back, clearly appeased with his announcements; getting his message across as he was ready to cut things off there – )
( And just before things could cut off, ‘The World is Mine’ hit. )
( Korey Gaines making his presence known, as he walked out of the gorilla position opening; a smirk on his face and a microphone in hand to a mixed reaction from the crowd, as he instantly called for his music to be called; looking over to Captain Charisma. )
Korey Gaines: Cap’n . . .Can I just say how good of a decision it was that you just made? This? This is EXACTLY what I needed! I have no problem dividing or conquering; the only certainty of it all, is that I am leaving Territorial Invasion with the sole role of making sure that my team has walked into that match with our heads high, and out with a HUGE win; all thanks to me.
Korey Gaines: As of late? Yeah, maybe I’ve been on a downward trajectory; losing to Sierra Everett wasn’t my brightest moment, but the fact of the matter is if I am still getting these opportunities? There is more for me to do here. There is more in the future of Korey Gaines than just skating further and further down the wire – No, clearly this is a sign for me to pick up a huge win and put my name back on top of the EAW map; and to you? Thank you. Thank you for giving me the chance to show that Korey Gaines is more than an afterthought, and I ASSURE you . . .This decision of yours won’t be one you’ll regret.
( Korey said with a smirk still growing on his face, as Captain Charisma nodded; raising the microphone to his face to reply – though ‘Hikarunara’ by Goose House blasted through the speakers to a fair mix of boo’s and cheers that truly couldn’t be discerned of what was the majority between the two, as Mei Sasaki walked out right next to Korey Gaines; though not even batting an eye to him as she was more focused on Captain Charisma in the ring, a perplexed look on her face. )
Mei Sasaki: Sorry, sorry, sorry; I think things have gotten a little mixed up here.
( Mei explained, raising an eyebrow to Captain Charisma who seemed equally as confused. )
Mei Sasaki: See, I’m in this Divide and Conquer match . . . But why? Why am I not in the Unique Opportunity match at this SAME event, and Jamie Cross is? I mean she literally just fumbled her title shot against Milli Banks – and now she’s right back ahead of me? She’s back into a position where she can mosey her way back into a Specialist’s Championship match whilst I have a match of FAR less importance to my career? What kind of sense does that make? Why is she there, and I am HERE? In my opinion, all you need to do right now, is rectify.
( Mei explained, shrugging her shoulders as she seemingly found no other option on the table. )
Mei Sasaki: Rectify the mistake you made and put me in the Unique Opportunity match and put HER in the Divide and Conquer match. It’s only fair, no? Give me the opportunity to garner an opportunity she fumbled; and she can start from square one and set herself apart from the pack again, since she clearly isn’t ready to hold Championship gold in this company, simple.
( Mei argued; crossing her arms as Charisma sighed, clearly not wanting to have this conversation now; but the choice wasn’t his as Mei Sasaki didn’t seem like she was leaving without an answer, as reluctantly Captain Charisma raised the microphone to his face once more – and like a miracle straight from heaven, ‘El Gavilan’ blasted through the speakers, to the almost MIMICKED reaction of boo’s and cheers, as the 24/7 Contract Holder, Roberto De La Rosa made his way out to the ring; though his chuckle was heard even before he made his physical entrance, as he already had a microphone in hand; which was firmly showcased as he pierced the veil into the main stage of the arena, with the mic right next to his face. )
Roberto De La Rosa: Mei, Mei, Mei . . .Surely your memory isn’t that bad, no?
( Roberto said, as Mei turned towards him; an irritated look on her face as she seen Roberto after their previous altercations. )
Roberto De La Rosa: Bloodsport, Chiquita. The same event Jamie Cross lost at, you did too. Why do I remember that vividly, you might ask? Because if you don’t remember, you lost to ME. So the only travesty at hand here isn’t the fact you aren’t in a Unique Opportunity match you don’t deserve, but rather the fact that you’re still somehow sharing a ring with me after I already decimated you without a question to it.
Roberto De La Rosa: But you know what? Tranquilo. I am at peace of mind, because if I have to beat you again to humble you once again? So be it. I’ll use you as the perfect example, not just for any other arrogant; low tier Elitist – but specifically, for one Sierra Everett. Someone who so easily thinks she can disrespect me even as I stand here as one of the most important men on the Voltage Brand. Divide and Conquer is a match with my name written all over it, and if I can knock two birds out with one stone on that night? Then I am more than happy to do so–
( And suddenly, ‘Attention’ by Doja Cat hit. )
Captain Charisma: :Francis:
( For the first time tonight, the crowd DOWNPOURED with boos towards the next entrant, as none other than Sierra Everett made her way out to join the fray, shaking her head as she stared directly towards Roberto De La Rosa. And believe it or not, Sierra ALSO had a microphone; they’re coming in bulk nowadays! )
Sierra Everett: Bitch.
Roberto De La Rosa: Language, Chiquita.
Sierra Everett: Put a cork in it, Roberto. You think I disrespected you before? You’re clearly not well versed with who I am, because you clearly don’t know how disrespectful I can get. You encroached on my segment last week, and I just gave you exactly what you deserved; so if you unfortunately garnered a soreness to the truth? Suck it up, buttercup.
( Roberto scoffed to Sierra’s comment, rolling his eyes. )
Roberto De La Rosa: It doesn’t matter how disrespectful you can get, Sierra — it’s the fact you disrespected me in the FIRST place. Getting segments you don’t deserve, having time on the card that I, someone of MUCH higher importance, isn’t getting? You are the perfect person that needs a reality check here, and I will be the one to GLADLY give you that reality check, come Territorial Invasion.
Sierra Everett: Is that right, hmm? Are these the same threats that got you a loss against Mr. Wrestling earlier? You know what, let’s circle back on this when everything’s said and done and see how well your argument holds up. Because at the end of the day? This is what’s next for Sierra Everett. This is the big opportunity I need to surpass or else there is no POINT for me being here, and since I am not ready to see the expiration date of my career hit? Losing just isn’t an option, and it damn sure won’t be to you and YOUR team.
Roberto De La Rosa: You want to look back on this moment in a few weeks time? Bold, stupid mistake. Fine, we can gladly come back to this when it’s all said and done and COLLECTIVELY agree that you getting a contract renewal and an opportunity to be APART of EAW upon this new Season was all, just like your spot in this match, a mistake.
( The tension rose as Roberto and Sierra stared each other down, lowering their microphones as the war of words between the two became inaudible, as Korey cut the momentary silence. )
Korey Gaines: Look, look, look — let’s stop the bickering between one another; save the drama for the show, nobody wants to watch you two argue with one another, I’m sure we can spend this time focusing on much more important things at hand here!
Mei Sasaki: Yeah, like your shitty restaurant takes that you force everyone to be kept up on in your Social Stream feed?
( Mei sarcastically retorted, as Korey Gaines turned to her, clearly unimpressed with the comedic attempt by Mei )
Korey Gaines: Yeah, the takes that tend to be more relevant than anything you’ve ever managed to do in your career.
Mei Sasaki: And this is coming from you of all people? Do you think about what you say before you allow yourself to look like a complete idiot on air?
Korey Gaines: Even with my failures last week? I’m not the one who was getting carried by not only Serenity Valdez, but Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart just off their namesake and STILL managed to flounder expectations.
( Korey replied, all four Elitist beginning to bicker with one another as Mei and Sierra stood side by side; Roberto and Korey mirroring that, as all the Elitist looked to who would soon be their partners come Territorial Invasion; before facing the latter, the stare down ensuing; as Voltage slowly faded back out to a brief commercial break. )
(A commercial is shown for the Twilight series, streaming on Peacock, featuring Michael Machina. When the full moon hits…)
( As Voltage reconnected to the broadcast, a camera man was set in the backstage, following directly in front of none other than Mei Sasaki. An Elitist involved previously in a stare down between herself, Korey Gaines, Roberto De La Rosa, and Sierra Everett; after the announcement aired of their participation in the Divide and Conquer match at Territorial Invasion. Mei clearly seemed a bit irritated still, especially following her clear distaste in being apart of the match in the first place, as she was forced to move on for the moment; letting out a huff of air from her mouth, continuing down the hallway as she looked to be closing in on her locker room; though as Mei swiftly turned the corner — before IMMEDIATELY halting as she nearly collided with none other, than Jamie Cross. )
Mei Sasaki: You should probably watch where you’re going, you could’ve run into me!
( Mei said, clearly not in a perky mood; as Jamie seemed almost bewildered , clearly more shocked than anything as she looked at Mei. )
Jamie Cross: Me? We both turned the corner at the same time, how is it my fault?!
Mei Sasaki: So you’re saying it’s my fault, then?
Jamie Cross: I mean I was leaning more on BOTH of our mistake actually… But I’m really not looking for any sort of problem right now, Mei. After last week I don’t really know what terms we are even on, and quite frankly I’m not ready to find out right now.
( Jamie said, clearly disinterested with any altercation with Mei, as Sasaki sighed; eyeing Jamie up in down with what could be seen as disgust. )
Mei Sasaki: Look, all you need to worry about right now is making sure the opportunities you’re being gifted are going to good use. While I’m stuck in a match I shouldn’t be in, you’re getting yet another chance to be something — so DO IT. Win that match, because if you don’t? You’re directly spiting me.
( Mei said, accusatory towards Jamie who looked as if she entirely expected for Sasaki to bring something like that up; as Jamie crossed her arms, rolling her eyes as she exhaled heavily. )
Jamie Cross: First off, it’s not me being GIFTED anything. I’ve been working hard, even BEFORE Bloodsport happened. And just because I faced a setback and didn’t win on that night doesn’t make me any less qualified for the opportunity I have on hand; and it CERTAINLY doesn’t mean that next time I have an opportunity for any title I’m going to squander it. I’m more than ready to be a main player in EAW, and I’ve delved into more than enough failures that a career needs to develop; and now? Now I’m ready to have a title across my waist. That is what I can GUARANTEE you.
Mei Sasaki: Is that right? All of a sudden you’re going to jump onto a miracle run and win a title? I’d sure hope so considering the amount of chances you’ve had to do so — but the fact of the matter is I doubt you could. After all, the track record you have shows that when Jamie Cross is about to bat? She strikes out. And I doubt anyone would bat an eye if you did it again if you even MANAGE to win that unique opportunity.
( That was the final straw for Jamie, anger surging through her as she bit her inner cheek; growing closer to Mei Sasaki as she furrowed her eyebrows. )
Jamie Cross: Mei, I’m not going to sit here and allow you to continue to disrespect me. Whether you like it or not, I have this opportunity— and whether you like it or not you’re gonna have to respect that and move on, or we’re going to have a problem.
( Jamie said, clearly not willing to give Mei any further chances to be passive with her; as Sasaki just rolled her eyes, clearly not intimidated by Jamie in the slightest as she scoffed at her. )
Mei Sasaki: We’ll see about that.
( And with that, Mei moved away from Jamie, forcing her shoulder into Cross’s body as she moved past her, Jamie CLEARLY wanting to confront her on it… But she didn’t find it worth it. Taking a deep breath as she took hold of her temper, and continued moving forward; as the camera shot quickly transitioned back to the ring, as the next match was setting up. )
(The camera returns to the ring where Bella Braxton is standing in the middle of the ring where she is ready to start the introductions for the next match. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest is a special TRIPLE THREAT INTERBRANDED AVA BRAND WARFARE PREVIEW MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn starts to play as Cameron Ella Ava enters the arena. She is strictly business here tonight as heads to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first and representing VOLTAGE! From Los Angeles, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds! Here is “THE SERPENT” CAMERON… ELLA… AVA!
James Peters: Here comes the first of three Ava sisters for triple threat action. Each sister will be representing a different brand and hope to get some momentum for their respective teams going towards Territorial Invasion.
Rich Russillo: We got a little taste of what could happen on Dynasty when team Voltage attacked team Dynasty, but it was team Dynasty who came out on top.
Persephone: Three Avas fighting in the same building. Do you know what I call that? Tuesday at the Ava house. Nothing new. So how about we get the other two skanks out here and finish this match already.
(Cameron enters the ring and takes her corner as her entrance theme is replaced by ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX. Seconds later, Ms. Extreme enters the arena before she immediately heads to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing her opponents! FIRST! Representing DYNASTY! From Calabasas, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds. Here is “THE PROBLEM CHILD” MS. EXTREME!!
Rich Russillo: Here comes Team Dynasty’s Brand Warfare team captain. She has always been considered the rebel of the Ava Family. She always did things her way and to her style and tonight’s match will be no different.
Persephone: It’s because she’s stupid! Why they claim this one, I don’t know. I hope this match ends in a draw so all these bitches lose.
James Peters: Camille is leading a team that, including herself, has three former World Champions in its arsenal. That could change depending on who becomes the fifth member of Team Dynasty. Right now, she is looking for some Ava Superiority.
(Camille enters the ring and takes her corner as her entrance music fades off. After a brief moment of silence, ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole (Clean Version) starts to play as Princess Candice Blair enters the arena. She takes a moment to wave to the crowd before heading to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing the final participant! Representing SHOWDOWN! From Anaheim, California! Weighing in at 130 pounds! Here is “THE PRINCESS OF DISNEY” PRINCESS CANDICE BLAIR!
Persephone: Here comes another Ava bitch heading to the ring. Gawd, looking at all that plastic surgery makes me wanna barf. They should hold this match in a pool of botox and silicone or something.
James Peters: Why do you hate the Avas so much? Not the point, but Candice just became the final member of Team Showdown last week and she certainly brings the cunning that only an Ava can supply.
Rich Russillo: Candice might be the least experienced of the Avas, but don’t count her out. She is here to play and she is here to win. So which sister will lay claim to victory? We’re about to find out.
(Candice enters the ring and takes her corner as her entrance music fades off. The referee checks each Ava in their respective corners before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Bell has rung and this triple threat match is underway. Battle of the Avas. Who will come out of this match victorious? It’s gonna be hard to tell because, and this is a big understatement, that these three know each other very VERY well.
Rich Russillo: We have a standoff right now and this battle has changed over the years from dolls and clothes to title belts and match momentum. Nobody has made a move at the moment because this can go in many different directions.
Persephone: For the love of gawd, MAKE A DAMN MOVE! Can the referee call a draw on a match because of a delay of game or something? This is ridiculous.
James Peters: Looks like they heard you BECAUSE CAMILLE AND CANDICE ARE LOOKING TO DOUBLE TEAM CAMERON, BUT CAMERON IS MANAGING TO FIGHT THEM BOTH OFF! But that isn’t stopping the others from trying to get their shots in.
Persephone: I don’t blame them for going after the oldest one. It’s like an old car. You hit the right spot and the whole thing falls apart. Turns this three way bitchfest into a one on one bitch fest.
Rich Russillo: CAMERON WITH A RIGHT HAND STAGGERS CANDICE, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP MS. EXTREME FROM GRABBING CAMERON’S HEAD AND RUNNING HER TO THE ROPES! SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG BY CAMILLE–
Persephone: What a shock. The Princess decides to catch the orange haired joker AND THEN PLANT THE OTHER WITH A DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX!
James Peters: One alliance ends as another forms and there is no doubt that this type of scenario will happen many times throughout this match.
Rich Russillo: LOOK! CANDICE SAW AN OPENING AND DROPPED DOWN TO TRY TO STEAL A PIN ON CAMILLE—
James Peters: That didn’t work. The referee barely had enough time to drop down before Cameron YANKS CANDICE OFF THE COVER AND CANDICE DIDN’T APPRECIATE THAT ONE BIT!
Rich Russillo: Candice is back to her feet and she is getting right in her older sister’s face. She really believes she’s a princess and she doesn’t think that a princess should be treated like that.
Persephone: Not only that, she’s a delusional nutcase too. Just call the match and send these three to a daytime talk show. I am sick of looking at these three already. Can I leave?
James Peters: Persephone, the match has barely got started. No you can’t leave just because you don’t like the person who is fighting in the ring.
Persephone: Such a buzzkill. Why must your torture me? What did I do to anybody?
Rich Russillo: I will save that answer for another day, my darling, but right now CAMERON AND CANDICE ARE THROWING FOREARMS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND LOOK AT THEM FIGHT!
Persephone: Stop calling me your darling, you weirdo. Second, what was that supposed to mean? Third, just knock each other out and then I can be the winner because the match would be over.
James Peters: Come on and call the match. Right now Cameron and Candice are fighting amongst themselves THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT CAMILLE WHO IS STARTING TO MAKE IT BACK TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: That’s one of the dangers of a triple threat match that sometimes your focus goes off one of your opponents. LIKE NOW! MS. EXTREME TAKES ADVANTAGE BY RUNNING IN AND GRABBING CAMERON BY THE HEAD AND SPRINGING OFF THE ROPES GOING FOR THE BULLDOG ONE MORE TIME!
James Peters: CANDICE GOT OUT OF THE WAY THE FIRST TIME, BUT CAMILLE GOT HER ON THE REBOUND AND SHE HITS A DOUBLE SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! SHE GOT THEM BOTH! TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL BY THE RED QUEEN AS SHE HOOKS CAMERON’S LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWW—-
Rich Russillo: CANDICE BREAKS UP THE COVER BEFORE TWO! These ladies are going for the surprise pin factors early on as the Captain of Dynasty’s Brand Warfare team was looking to pin Voltage’s Team Captain.
Persephone: Oh great. We have an Ace and an Ass leading both of our teams. They better make sure to remove their heads from their butts because the last thing we wanna do is be the laughingstock of EAW.
James Peters: Are we seeing a little Brand Loyalty from the one and only Persephone? I don’t know if I can believe what I am seeing and hearing.
Persephone: Oh shut up!! If anybody gets to insult the Voltage roster and tell them all how much they all are dumbasses, it’s going to be ME!
Rich Russillo: Ehh… good enough. Candice is bringing Camille back to her feet and she whips Camille to the corner and FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Candice pushes Camille back AND CHOPS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST!
Persephone: OH COME ON! AT LEAST CHOP THE ONE WHO IS ENGORGED IN SILICONE! Chopping this one is still great, but not as funny.
James Peters: Ms. Extreme is still in the corner AND CANDICE CHOPS HER ACROSS THE CHEST AGAIN! Candice shoves Camille back in the corner AND CANDICE STARTS FIRING OFF THOSE MARTIAL ARTS KICKS TO MS. EXTREME–
Rich Russillo: AND HERE COMES CAMERON WITH A DOUBLE SPLASH THAT CATCHES BOTH OF HER SISTERS IN THE CORNER! Camille falls to a sitting position while Cameron pulls Candice out of the corner AND TAKES HER UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
James Peters: The experience advantage of Cameron on display as she floats over AND STARTS PUNCHING HER SISTER RIGHT IN THE HEAD! PRINCESS CANDICE IS BLOCKING WHATEVER SHOTS SHE CAN!
Rich Russillo: Cameron brings Candice back to her feet AND FIRES OFF A KICK THAT CANDICE CATCHES! CAMERON IS HOPPING ON ONE FOOT AND TRIES TO GET FREE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI KICK–
Persephone: AND THE PRINCESS WANNABE DUCKS THE KICK AND SHE GRABS THE OLD ONE’S OTHER FOOT! I heard of walking the elderly across the street, but I guess this is common in a circus like the Ava House.
James Peters: Candice has hold of both of Cameron’s legs before pulling her up in the air AND DROPPING HER FACE FIRST TO THE MAT WITH THE WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! CANDICE HITS “RAGS TO RICHES” EARLY ON AS SHE ROLLS CAMERON OVER FOR THE COVER! CANDICE COULD STEAL IT EARLY HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Persephone: AND THE OUTCAST AVA DROPKICKS THE SILICONE PRINCESS IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Could have kicked her head off right there, but far be it for you guys to make me happy during your clusterfire of a match.
Rich Russillo: Candice rolls out of the ring to catch a breather and that leaves two former World Champions in the ring to battle it out. Camille pulls Cameron back to her feet by the hair. Well that isn’t very nice.
Persephone: Sisters. Sisters. There were never such devoted sisters. Hair pulling. Bloody noses. This is how family squabbles should always be settled. Now bust each other open! Let’s get this show on the road.
James Peters: Camille is in control at the moment as she whips Cameron to the ropes. Cameron comes back AND CAMILLE JUMPS IN THE AIR AND WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND CAMERON’S NECK TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A FRANKENSTEINER–
Rich Russillo: CAMERON BLOCKS IT AND USES HER POWER TO BRING CAMILLE BACK UP! CAMERON RUSHES TO THE CORNER AND THROWS CAMILLE AND SPIKES HER WITH THE TURNBUCKLE POWERBOMB!
James Peters: Did you see Ms. Extreme’s head snap back when she was powerbombed? That was an ugly landing AND CAMERON FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE THAT SENDS CAMILLE TO THE FLOOR AS WELL!
Rich Russillo: Both Candice and Camille are on the same side of the ring and that could spell trouble as both ladies outside as Cameron looks ready to strike like the serpent that she is!
Persephone: If you ask me, all these ladies… and I use that term very loosely… are serpents. You can’t trust an Ava sister. That’s just my opinion.
James Peters: You make your opinion heard loud and clear as both Camille and Candice are back to their feet AND HERE COMES CAMERON RUNNING FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE ROPES! CAMERON FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES AND SHE TAKES HER SISTERS DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Persephone: Answer me this. With all the enhancements and padding she has in her bra region, how in the hell did Cameron not bounce right back up after hitting that Suicide dive? From what I heard, she could have bounced right back into the ring. BAHAHAHA!
Rich Russillo: We’ll leave the questions about female ring attire to you, Persephone. Right now, this crowd is going crazy for the action that has gone on so far in this match. I don’t blame them. Avas always bring it in their matches.
Persephone: These fans are just a bunch of loony nutcases that like these three for some reason that I don’t know. Right now, Silicone Sally chooses to pick up the Princess and rolls her back in the ring.
James Peters: Cameron is stalking her sister in the hopes of finishing this match as fast as possible and leaving nothing to chance. Right now, Cameron grabs Candice’s legs and drags her over to the corner.
Rich Russillo: Cameron gets in position BEFORE FALLING BACK AND SENDING CANDICE FLYING RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE WITH THAT SLINGSHOT! “LASSO OF TRUTH” FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA!
James Peters: Candice comes staggering backwards out of the corner AND WALKS RIGHT INTO A BACK SUPLEX FROM CAMERON THAT DRIVES CANDICE DOWN! NOW CAMERON IS GETTING POSITIONED ON THE SECOND ROPE!
Rich Russillo: Cameron is waiting for Candice, who is slowly getting back to her feet. Cameron has not taken her eyes off of Candice as Candice is now back on her feet AND CAMERON FLIES OFF THE SECOND ROPE–
Persephone: AND THIS DELUSIONAL FLOOSY HITS HER “WONDER WOMAN PUNCH”! SHE IS NO DAMN SUPERHERO! But she did clobber the Princess right in the face and might have knocked her out! Did she knock some of her teeth out?
James Peters: No.
Persephone: SON OF A—
Rich Russillo: Well, right now, Cameron pulls Candice away from the corner and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Persephone: OF COURSE SHE KICKS OUT AT TWO! What else is new? What’s wrong with staying down for a three count? It would make my life much easier. Why can’t they consider that?
James Peters: Let’s save that question for another day. Right now, Cameron is getting back to her feet AND WAIT A SECOND! LOOK AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! IT’S MS. EXTREME!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME RECOVERED OUTSIDE THE RING AND SNUCK BACK ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH HER OPPONENTS NONE THE WISER! CAMERON STILL DOESN’T KNOW AS CAMILLE JUMPS RIGHT OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE–
James Peters: AND SHE CATCHES CAMERON WITH THE GLASS CEILING! THAT’S THE MOVE THAT CAMERON MADE FAMOUS! CAMILLE ADDING A LITTLE INSULT TO INJURY WITH THAT MOVE AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE BLAIR BREAKS UP THE COVER AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! SHE WAS ALMOST TOO LATE! Now Candice is just pounding the ever loving crap out of Camille and doing whatever she can to weaken Ms. Extreme.
Persephone: Hit her in the head… actually no. Will all the empty space up there, that’s the safest part of her body. Do you know what we need? Bloodshed. It would make this match much less of a snoozefest.
James Peters: Be that as it may, Candice whips Camille to the corner. Camille hits the turnbuckle AND PRINCESS CANDICE WITH A DROPKICK THAT COULD HAVE KNOCKED MS. EXTREME OUT.
Persephone: No it didn’t. These Avas are all hard headed so kicking each other in the head really doesn’t do much for these three stubborn bitches. Heck, why didn’t we invite the other sister and make this a bloodshed battle royal?
Rich Russillo: That’s because she has two children and is enjoying being a mother right now.
Persephone: She found a guy to have children with? Well… good for her. Happiness rarely happens for them. Stupid skank.
James Peters: Anyways, Candice is climbing up onto the top rope as she likes to go for the Meteora in thIS spot. BUT HERE COMES CAMILLE TRYING TO KNOCK CANDICE RIGHT OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE–
Rich Russillo: BUT CANDICE WITH A BOOT RIGHT TO HER FACE THAT STAGGERS HER BUT SHE STAYS ON HER FEET BUT CAMILLE IS ABLE TO KEEP HER WITS ABOUT HER AS HE HITS THE HANDSTAND AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HEADSCISSOR TAKEDOWN!
James Peters: Candice bounced hard off her back and Ms. Extreme quickly pulls her back to her feet. LOOK AT THE TOP ROPE AGAIN!!
Rich Russillo: HERE COMES CAMERON! CAMERON IS BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE MADE HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE! CAMERON LOOKS TO TAKE BOTH HER SISTERS DOWN WITH THAT CORKSCREW MOONSAULT! CANDICE GETS OUT OF THE WAY, BUT CAMILLE DID NOT!
Persephone: HAHAHAHAHA! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS, STUPID! ENJOY LAYING ON THE MAT AGAIN!
James Peters: Candice from behind with an uppercut that sends Cameron into the corner. Candice pulls Cameron out of the corner and whips her to the ropes, BUT CAMERON REVERSES THE MOVE AND SEND CANDICE FOR THE RIDE!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE COMES BACK AND SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM CAMERON AND THAT TAKES CANDICE DOWN! NOW CAMERON SEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY AS SHE MAKES HER WAY ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: This is stupid. Just fly and take your sister out so the ref can count and we can all move on with our lives. If this match goes any longer, I am going to just take a nap at the announce desk. Looking at an Ava for this long is a great cure for insomnia.
James Peters: CAMERON IS WAITING FOR CANDICE TO GET BACK TO HER FEET! SHE IS READY FOR CANDICE TO EXPERIENCE HOW IT FEELS TO GET HIT BY “THE GLASS CEILING”! THAT COULD BE A MATCH ENDER IF CAMERON HITS IT–
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND! HERE COMES CAMILLE OUT OF NOWHERE AS SHE SPRINGS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE! SHE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND CAMERON’S WAIST AND TAKES HER OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! GOOD GAWD!
Persephone: How in the world did Orange Demon manage to pull that off? I guess there are a few brain cells still working in that brain of hers that the hair dye didn’t kill. I guess miracles do happen.
James Peters: WHAT A CREATIVE COUNTER BY CAMILLE THAT TAKES CAMERON RIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE AND RIGHT BACK INTO THE RING! CAMERON ISN’T MOVING AND MS. EXTREME IS GOING TO TAKE A CHANCE AND CLIMB UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: I am not sure what I want to happen. Do I want Lady Orange to screw up this move or do I want her to hit the move so this match can end already. Tough decision for someone like me.
Rich Russillo: Persephone, will you… WAIT! HERE COMES CANDICE! CANDICE RUNS TO THE CORNER AND SHOVES CAMILLE! THAT SHOVE WAS ENOUGH TO SEND CAMILLE OFF BALANCE, OFF THE TURNBUCKLES, AND RIGHT TO THE FLOOR! MS. EXTREME LANDED HARD!
Persephone: Welp. See you later, Camille. Looks like you have enough time to catch the plane back to Oompa Loompa Land, you orange demon.
James Peters: Sweet as always, Persephone. Now Candice grabs Cameron and gets herself positioned on the top rope BEFORE SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! “COLORS OF THE WIND” TORNADO DDT ON THE WAY–
Rich Russillo: CAMERON THROWS CANDICE OFF OF HER TO GET FREE FROM THE TORNADO DDT! CAMERON TRIES TO GRAB CANDICE, BUT CANDICE GETS FREE AND SHE CLOBBERS CAMERON WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! “ALMOST THERE” BY PRINCESS CANDICE!
James Peters: CAMERON ALMOST GOT HER HEAD TAKEN OFF AFTER THAT DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! Fitting name for a fitting move since Candice is almost there in terms of picking up the victory.
Rich Russillo: CANDICE LOOKS TO BE ONE MOVE AWAY FROM WINNING THIS MATCH AND… WAIT A SECOND! SOMEONE JUST JUMPED ON THE APRON! WHO THE HELL IS THAT?
(The camera turns to the apron to show that it is Caroline who has jumped on the apron and who has caught Candice’s attention)
James Peters: IT’S CAROLINE! SHOWDOWN’S CAROLINE IS HERE AND SHE IS ONCE AGAIN EYEING THE ONE AND ONLY PRINCESS OF DISNEY! CAROLINE’S EYES LOOK AS BLACK AS THE VOID THAT FILLS HER SOUL WHEN SHE LOOKS AT CANDICE!
Persephone: What the hell is that freaky bimbo doing here? Don’t we have enough skanks already in the ring? We don’t need another.
Rich Russillo: Caroline believes that Candice is everything that is wrong with the business…
Persephone: And she wouldn’t be completely wrong.
Rich Russillo: Either way, she’s on the apron and she has stopped Candice Blair in her tracks. Remember that Caroline cost the Princess a match a few weeks ago against Halsey Neel.
James Peters: Candice didn’t appreciate that. Caroline is still standing on the apron AND CANDICE TAKES A SWING AT CAROLINE, BUT CAROLINE IS QUICKER AND SHE JUST SPEWED THE BLACK MIST IN CANDICE’S FACE!
Persephone: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS MIGHT BE THE GREATEST PART OF THE MATCH! THE BLACK MIST SUITS THIS LITTLE PRINCESS WANNABE! SHE IS SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN AND HER SCREAMS FILL MY HEART WITH WARMTH!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE IS FLAILING ABOUT! SHE HAS BEEN BLINDED AND AS FAST AS SHE APPEARED, CAROLINE IS GONE INTO THE SHADOWS! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING THAT JUST WENT DOWN!
James Peters: I DON’T THINK CAMERON REALIZES WHAT WENT DOWN EITHER AS SHE GRABS CANDICE AND HOISTS HER ONTO HER SHOULDERS BEFORE TOSSING CANDICE OFF AND PLANTING HER WITH THE “NO BODY, NO CRIME”! TKO STYLE CUTTER COULD HAVE DONE THE JOB AS CAMERON ROLLS CANDICE OVER INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND! HERE COMES MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME DIVES INTO THE RING AND THROWS HERSELF AT CAMERON TO TRY AND STOP THE PIN!
THHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: BUT SHE WAS TOO LATE! SHE WAS BARELY TOO LATE! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(‘Good For Her’ starts playing again as Cameron rolls off of Candice as she slowly starts getting to her feet. Camille is on the edge of the ring looking frustrated that she barely missed the break up as Bella Braxton is ready to announce the final decision.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… CAMERON! ELLA! AVA!
Persephone: I will say this! That if I had to watch one stupid Ava bitch win this match, I can tolerate the fact that it is the stupid Ava bitch on Voltage that won the match.
Rich Russillo: Are you actually giving credit to an Ava sister?
Persephone: No. Shut up!
(The referee quickly raises Cameron’s arm in victory before quickly going back to check on Candice, who is still blinded from the black mist from Caroline. Cameron takes a chance to soak in the victory and celebrate in the ring.)
James Peters: This was a great match and we expected nothing different from the Ava sisters. They put each other through hell, and unfortunately, thanks to an interference from Caroline for some reason, Cameron was able to take advantage and pick up the win.
Rich Russillo: But look at Camille. She is not happy with herself that she missed breaking up the pinfall. She missed it just by a hair and she is pounding the mat in frustration.
Persephone: Orange haired bitch just needs to get over it. She tried. She failed and she lost the match. No need to throw a hissy fit over it.
James Peters: But you have got to give credit to Camille in this match. She gave it her all and showed that the Brand Warfare better be ready for it.
Rich Russillo: We also can’t forget about Candice. She might be the youngest of the sisters, but her skills can’t be ignored. She could have pulled off the win here, but it was just bad luck and black mist from Caroline that cost her.
James Peters: All I can say is that Brand Warfare is going to be awesome. Current and former Champions. Up and coming stars in EAW. It’s going to be great. But right now we offer of congratulations to Cameron for the vic—
(As Cameron comes off the turnbuckles from her celebration, Camille gets to her feet and clobbers Cameron from behind!)
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? CAMILLE ATTACKING CAMERON FROM BEHIND! I understand that she is frustrated with not getting the win, but is this necessary?
Persephone: I love it! Implosion part 87 from the Ava Family. I knew these dumb bitches were all secretly jealous of each other. This amuses me. I wish I had popcorn.
James Peters: I am glad you are enjoying it, Persephone, but Camille is just pounding her fists into Cameron’s skull before pulling her back to her feet.
Rich Russillo: Camille locks up Cameron’s head before letting out this loud scream before SPINNING OUT AND DROPPING CAMERON WITH THE TWIST OF FATE NECKBREAKER! MS. EXTREME JUST LEFT HER SISTER LAID OUT!
(Ms. Extreme gets back to her feet and stands over her fallen sister soaking in the crowd reaction.)
Persephone: It’s about making an impact around here. If it happens to be her sister… so be it. It’s always great to see those Ava bitches get knocked down to size every once in a while.
James Peters: Cameron won the match, but it is Ms. Extreme who stands tall. From what I know, Cameron will NOT let this attack just slide by. Ms. Extreme better watch out because sometimes sisters don’t forgive and forget. Sometimes they seek out retribution and revenge.
(The final shot still shows Camille standing tall over a still knocked out Cameron as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Daredevil: Born Again, releasing… we don’t know anymore.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and the camera pans over to the stage as ‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross hits. The crowd explodes with cheers as Cy Henderson’s entrance graphics appear on the titantron, and a few moments later Cy Henderson begins walking out to the stage. Cy is holding a microphone in his hand, and he stands at the top of the stage as he takes a few seconds to admire the crowd, filled with thousands of cheering fans. Afterwards, he begins making his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
James Peters: Cy Henderson is on his way down to the ring right now, and well we all remember what happened last week. Cy has made it clear that he plans to face Drake King for the EAW World Championship at Territorial Invasion, but Drake has been completely against it and has tried turning down the challenge.
Rich Russillo: Yeah but things didn’t really end well for Drake, did they? All of his disrespect towards Cy ended with Cy laying him out. Honestly I don’t see why Drake is so against the challenge. Wouldn’t a match between these two just be amazing?
Persephone: No. Not at all. I’m honestly not interested in watching anyone around here fight, especially not at an event where they’ll be given a bunch of ridiculous weapons to murder each other with. I’d rather not be here at all.
(Cy Henderson slides into the ring, and the fans continue to cheer as Cy stands in the center of the ring. Cy has a smile on his face looking at the fans, and before long he begins to speak.)
Cy Henderson: It’s good to see you, Finland! Every single one of you. I appreciate being able to walk out here in 2023 and receive these reactions. I appreciate the fact that I’m able to walk out to arenas like this and receive such warm welcomes, because I understand that this is not a given. I understand that there was never a guarantee that I’d return to this company earlier in the year and be treated the way I’ve been by all of you. You all care about me and when I enter the ring I do my best to entertain you all because I care about making things right. I care about redeeming myself and making this run with EAW something special. I respect each and every one of you just for showing up tonight, but that is what I’m here to talk about right now. Respect. I’ll be in action not long from now, but first there’s the elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. The same “elephant” that was staring at the lights last week because he refused to show the same respect that we all have for each other. The same respect that we have for this business. I’m here to talk about a man that continues running around playing God just for the sake of feeding his own ego. I’m here to talk about the EAW World Champion himself, Drake King.
(The smile drops from Cy Henderson’s face, and the fans cheer as he continues speaking.)
Cy Henderson: Last week I allowed my intentions to be known. I have nothing to hide here. I told Drake what I wanted, and I told him that I was going to get what I wanted regardless of his answer. I see the Championship around his waist, the same Championship he once said would be there forever. I want to test that theory. I want to see if he can keep his promises and actually live up to this “God” name he’s given himself, but Drake is against that idea and I wonder why. Maybe it’s because he’s worried I have the ability to shatter that illusion. Maybe it’s because he’s worried I have what it takes to take that title out of his hands. I’d say I’d expose the world to how much of a coward he really is, but he seems to be doing that perfectly fine on his own. This is the first time since this Championship reign started that Drake is flat out refusing to accept a challenge, and I’ve seen a lot in this business but there’s only one kind of person that’d do whatever it takes to avoid a fight. It definitely isn’t a God. It’s not even a Champion.
Cy Henderson: Drake King is delusional and nothing more. I understand what he can do inside this ring. I’ve seen it for myself and I’ll be seeing it again later tonight, but Drake King doesn’t just see himself as a wrestler. He thinks he’s above that. He thinks he’s above the title around his waist. For all the talk he does about the fans, I’m sure he thinks he’s above all of you too. The only thing Drake cares about is himself and he spends every single second lying, pretending to be something he is not. Drake says I just don’t deserve to be in the ring with him, but that didn’t stop him from accepting the challenge of three different Elitists, who he didn’t respect in the slightest. It didn’t stop him from spending weeks taking pride in the fact that he made his own match at Bloodsport despite everything he said about his challengers. He’s not doing all of this because he’s above anyone, he’s just doing all of this because-
(‘Footsteps of Doom’ by Kohta Yamamoto hits, and while the fans once again begin cheering loudly, Cy Henderson doesn’t look too amused knowing that he was interrupted by Drake King of all people. Drake begins walking down to the ring, and despite his frustrations with Cy Henderson he has a smirk on his face. He is wearing his EAW World Championship around his waist, and holding a microphone in his hand. Drake glances at the crowd as he walks down the cheering crowd, before looking back at Cy Henderson who still isn’t pleased.)
James Peters: Here comes the EAW World Champion, who was on the losing end of his fight with Cy last week! Both of these men have matches later, so hopefully nothing like that happens again this time around. Of course, there’s no guarantee things will end well. We know Drake tends to get on the bad side of others very easily, and that’s just to say the least.
Rich Russillo: Cy Henderson plans to face Drake King for the EAW World Championship at Territorial Invasion, but Drake has done his best to decline the challenge. Cy has shared his own thoughts, so it looks like we’ll be hearing Drake’s side of the story right now.
Persephone: That’s a shame. I really wish we could’ve moved on by now.
(Drake enters the ring, walking up to Cy Henderson before beginning to speak.)
Drake King: That’s funny, Cy. You’ve done all this talking about me being delusional, but you’ve got it all wrong! The only delusional person in the ring right now is the one who should’ve stayed in 2010 :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: !!!!!
(Drake begins laughing after his joke, and Cy Henderson just stares at him, more confused than offended by the statement.)
Cy Henderson: …
Drake King: :mjlol2:
Cy Henderson: Was that your idea of a joke?
Drake King: Did I say something wrong?? It’s not like anyone asked for a Cy Henderson return! They already have me here, and that’s all anyone needs. We didn’t need you to return. You think I’m running away from you, but Cy… You really don’t deserve to be in the ring with me. Why would ANYONE want to see a match between the two of us when there are so many other people on the roster who’ve actually been here for the past few years? You suddenly showed up one day and now you think you can just demand EAW World Championship matches whenever you want, just to call me a coward when I don’t give you what you want? If you want a Championship match why don’t you go earn an opportunity? I’m sure you could’ve talked to Captain Charisma about a contendership match, or better yet… Do what everyone else is doing. Go wrestle, and maybe then you’ll actually catch my attention!
Cy Henderson: The same way your previous challengers caught your attention?
(Drake just shakes his head, annoyed by Cy’s response.)
Drake King: Do you really want to go down the same path as those three amateurs? You’re too old for that, Cy. That was a learning experience for them! They thought they were good enough to share the ring with someone like me just because they wrestled in a match like Cash in the Vault and lost, and they were completely wrong! You’ve existed for long enough to know better than that. You don’t need this match, so I have no reason to give it to you. Besides, just imagine what a Cy Henderson main event match looks like. It’s disgusting. On one side you’d have God to bless everyone and make their day better, and on the other we’d have a washed up relic of the past that’s only different from all the other relics we saw last year because your wrestling attire is that much worse. Seriously, could you really not find anything to wrestle in besides jorts? I really hate jorts. They have never looked good and even you have to know just how stupid you look.
Cy Henderson: If you’re going to keep messing around we could easily recreate what happened last week. I took you down once and I’m sure I exceeded your expectations then. I’d have no problem doing it again.
Drake King: You didn’t exceed anything. You got lucky and that’s it. I’m just trying to help you out, Cy. If we face each other at Territorial Invasion not only will you be leaving empty handed, but you’ll be leaving embarrassed! In fact, you might just be removed from the Hall of Fame after your loss just because of how bad you’ll make everyone else look! Are you sure you want to take that chance?
Cy Henderson: I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. This won’t be my first match since returning, Drake. I already faced the likes of the Visual Prophet, and if I wasted all of my time concerned with the possibility of failure I couldn’t have taken him as far as I did in the first place. I am going to face you at Territorial Invasion in a match with that Championship of yours on the line, and that’s not all. I’m going to defeat you. I’m going to raise that title up in the air for millions to see, and I’m going to give the entire world the chance to once again see who you really are.
(There’s a staredown between the two as there’s no longer a smile on Drake’s face. The fans are cheering as there is clearly tension thanks to what happened last week, and after a few seconds Drake begins to speak.)
Drake King: You’re seriously annoying. You ruin my day twice, you attack me for no reason, you demand matches you don’t deserve and you still just want me to give you a Championship match. It’s actually unbelievable. This is the worst kind of disrespect, and the fact that it’s coming from someone wearing something so stupid… You know what? Just don’t say I didn’t warn you, Cy. Everyone wants to be the one to say they were able to overcome God, but when it’s all said and done I’ll still be here holding up this Championship. I know I’m better than every single person on the EAW roster and that includes you, soooo when we’re done here, you’re going to wish you never ruined Drake King Appreciation Day.
Cy Henderson: So you’re finally choosing to give in, then? You can say whatever you want Drake, but only at Territorial Invasion will we see whether or not you’re anything remotely similar to what you say you are. Until then, I-
James Peters: OH NO, THERE IT IS!!! DRAKE JUST HIT CY HENDERSON WITH HIS MICROPHONE!!!! CY JUST DROPPED TO A KNEE, AND NOW DRAKE RUNS THE ROPES!!! DRAKE IS LOOKING FOR JUDGMENT DAY-
Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! CY PULLED HIS HEAD BACK BEFORE GRABBING DRAKE AND TURNING HIM AROUND!!!! CY NOW THROWING RIGHT HANDS AT DRAKE, CAUSING DRAKE TO BACK UP INTO THE ROPES AS CY GRABS DRAKE AND SENDS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE PAIR WITH AN IRISH WHIP!!!! CY HENDERSON NOW WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK!!!! DRAKE STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND CY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SECOND SHOULDER BLOCK!!!
James Peters: IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ABOUT TO BE A REPEAT OF LAST WEEK!!!! DRAKE STUMBLES BACK UP ONCE MORE, AND NOW CY LOOKS FOR THE CYCLONE LARIAT-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING CY FROM BEHIND!!!! RIPCORD KNEE!!!! DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE ISN’T FINISHED YET!!!!! DRAKE RUNS THE ROPES, AND NOW HE SWINGS AT-
James Peters: NO!!! CY MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT, AND NOW HE BEGINS LIFTING DRAKE UP!!!! CY IS LOOKING FOR THE RISING TIDE, THE SAME BURNING HAMMER HE HIT DRAKE WITH LAST WEEK!!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN THOUGH!!!!! HE DROPS BACK DOWN ONTO HIS FEET BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE DRAKE HAS SOMETHING PLANNED!!!!
James Peters: ASCENSION!!!! THE PEDIGREE CONNECTS, AND NOW DRAKE QUICKLY BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER AS CY HENDERSON CAN’T POSSIBLY KNOW WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW!!!!! He was already hit in the jaw with a microphone before getting hit by that knee strike and superkick, and now Drake just dropped him with that signature move!
Rich Russillo: Cy Henderson has made it back to all fours, AND NOW DRAKE RUNS IN BEFORE FINALLY DROPPING CY WITH JUDGMENT DAY!!!!! Cy Henderson has a match coming up, this is NOT what he needed heading into it!
(Drake looks down at Cy Henderson, just shaking his head before taking his EAW World Championship and holding it up in the air. ‘Footsteps of Doom’ begins to play once again, and Drake begins to laugh after taking out Cy Henderson.)
James Peters: Drake was able to land a shot on Cy this time, but Cy still fought back and nearly repeated last week’s events. I think Drake would’ve been down and out once again if that lariat connected, but instead Drake got the upper hand tonight.
Rich Russillo: Things have been going back and forth between these two, and it honestly just makes me look forward to whatever comes next. I know Cy won’t just accept what happened tonight, especially knowing Drake initiated last week’s attack.
Persephone: Whatever. I don’t really care about this. Can they leave now?
James Peters: Not yet. While Drake may not be in action until later, Cy Henderson is actually set to compete up next!
(Drake King begins walking out of the ring with his Championship, meanwhile Cy Henderson is seen in the ring, barely stirring after being hit with Drake’s finisher. As Cy is seen trying to recover inside of the ring, Voltage fades from ringside.)
(A commercial is shown for next week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty, with the main event being the Jaded Hearts facing Charlie Marr & Rex McAllister.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and ‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross is heard playing to loud cheers. Cy Henderson is in his corner of the ring, doing his best to remain focused on his upcoming match despite still being hurt following his fight with Drake King.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… PLEASE WELCOME SIENNA JADE AND MADISON KALINE!!!!
(There are loud boos from the crowd, and Sienna Jade and Madison Kaline are seen on opposite ends of the commentary table. Neither woman looks very happy to be there, instead just putting up with this for now.)
Bella Braxton: And already in the ring… From New York City, New York… Weighing in at 240 pounds… CCYYYYYYYY HHHHEEEENNNDDEERRSSSOONNNNN!!!!!!!
James Peters: Sienna, Madison thank you for joining us here tonight.
Madison Kaline: Trust me, I’m not looking forward to this. Hopefully our Territorial Invasion opponent actually puts on a performance worth sticking around for. I don’t need to be sitting anywhere near Sienna Jade for too long.
Sienna Jade: If you’re afraid you can just say that, it’s okay. We’re already judging you for being bad at your job, it’s not like it can get any worse.
Rich Russillo: Well as we all know you two are facing Champagne Charlie in a triple threat at Territorial Invasion, and I’m sure it’ll be one hell of a match.
(‘Bubbly’ by Young Thug hits, and the boos continue. Champagne Charlie begins walking out, and he has a confident look on his face as he reaches the stage. He takes a moment to stare towards Cy Henderson, but as he walks down the ramp he takes notice of Sienna Jade and Madison Kaline, just shaking his head knowing that they’re at ringside. Charlie is able to brush them off though, remaining focused on his upcoming match as he heads to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… Residing in Las Vegas, Nevada… Weighing in at 240 pounds… CHAMMMPAAAGGGNNNEEE CHHAAAARRRLLIIIEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: I don’t know what to say about this upcoming match, honestly. Charlie Marr looks confident, and while he usually is, I’m sure what happened to Cy Henderson before the break only added to it.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Cy Henderson is a tough competitor, but he’s going into this match hurt. Charlie has a huge advantage here, and he knows it.
Persephone: Cool, so this match should end pretty quickly. I don’t need to be here all night.
Sienna Jade: This won’t be that good of a test for Charlie if Cy is hurt. Unless Charlie embarrasses himself against an injured man, of course.
Madison Kaline: Doesn’t change much to me. All it would do is show everyone exactly why he won’t stop me at Territorial Invasion.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: WAIT, LOOK! CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE IS IMMEDIATELY ON THE OFFENSIVE, BACKING CY HENDERSON INTO THE CORNER BEFORE BEGINNING TO IMMEDIATELY STOMP AWAY AT HIM!!!! CHARLIE WITH REPEATED KICKS AND STOMPS TO THE MIDSECTION, CAUSING CY TO DROP DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION, BUT CHARLIE DOESN’T STOP THERE! IT LOOKS LIKE CHARLIE SAW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN CY HENDERSON AND DRAKE KING BEFORE THE BREAK, AND NOW CHARLIE PLANS TO MAKE USE OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO CY BY PICKING UP WHAT COULD BE A QUICK VICTORY! The referee is telling Charlie to back off though, and is beginning to count!
Rich Russillo: Charlie does exactly that, BUT AS SOON AS CY TRIES TO GET UP HE’S MET WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! That can’t be good considering Cy already took a stomp to the head before the break, AND NOW CHARLIE PULLS CY IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! Champagne Charlie with a quick cover, and I think he believes this match is already over!
ONE!
TWO!!
Rich Russillo: NO, THERE’S THE KICKOUT! Cy may have been hurt before the break, but he at least had SOME time to recover. Charlie isn’t giving him a chance to even breathe though, as he immediately gets on top of Cy and just begins connecting with punches and elbows!
Madison Kaline: Am I supposed to be impressed? He’s only beating someone that has already been in a fight, that doesn’t mean anything. I shouldn’t have even been dragged out here if I was going to have my time wasted like this.
Sienna Jade: It’s not YOUR time that matters here. I’m not just anybody. I’m the only Hall of Famer out here right now that actually matters, and I’m here to watch Charlie fight someone that probably can’t even stand right now.
Madison Kaline: Whatever. You don’t know anything. This disrespect, it’s unbelievable.
Persephone: Are you two serious? It’s bad enough I have to sit through this, do you need to argue?
James Peters: Anyways, Charlie has Cy in a rear chinlock right now, but Cy is on one knee trying to fight out of it. He’s slowly pushing himself up and I think he might be able to do it, BUT CHARLIE SHOVES CY INTO THE ROPES BEFORE RUNNING IN AND DELIVERING A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! CHARLIE NOW WITH AN IRISH WHIP TO THE OPPOSITE PAIR BEFORE LOOKING FOR A LARIAT-
Rich Russillo: CY DUCKED UNDER IT!!!! CY DUCKED UNDER THE LARIAT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES, AND NOW THERE’S A FLYING SHOULDER BLOCK!!!!! CHARLIE IS IMMEDIATELY BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT BEFORE HE COULD EVEN REACT CY FLIES AT HIM WITH A SECOND SHOULDER BLOCK!!!! CHARLIE NOW STUMBLING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HE TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY SWINGING AT CY, BUT CY DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING CHARLIE FROM BEHIND!!!! CY HENDERSON FINDING HIS WAY BACK INTO THIS MATCH AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY HE GOT, AND NOW HE LIFTS CHARLIE UP FOR A-
James Peters: NO! CHARLIE MANAGED TO ROLL OVER AND LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND CY!!!! CHARLIE NOW WITH THE WAISTLOCK, AS HE LIFTS CY UP AND PLANTS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! Just like that Cy Henderson’s momentum was cut short, and Charlie looks pretty proud of himself right now! He’s looking right over here, I’m assuming at the two of you.
Sienna Jade: Of course he is. He’d be smart to focus on the match instead, though. Losing to someone not even at their one hundred percent would just be embarrassing.
Persephone: This whole match is embarrassing. Get me out of here.
Rich Russillo: Cy Henderson uses the ropes to get back to his feet, AND NOW CHARLIE RUNS IN- BUT CY LIFTS CHARLIE OVER HIS HEAD, CAUSING CHARLIE TO FALL OUT ONTO THE APRON!!!! CHARLIE WOULD HAVE FALLEN TO RINGSIDE IF HE DIDN’T GRAB THE ROPES, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A ROUGH LANDING! Cy doesn’t even give Charlie a chance to react though! He pulls Charlie’s head through the ropes, AND NOW HE CONNECTS WITH A ROPE HUNG DDT!!!! That’s really not a move you see from Cy Henderson, but with his level of experience, there’s probably not many moves he hasn’t seen.
James Peters: Cy doesn’t go for the cover as he sees Charlie already moving, so instead Cy takes the opportunity to pull himself back to his feet! Champagne Charlie pulls himself up in the corner, SO CY HENDERSON RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO CHARLIE!!!! CHARLIE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, AND NOW CY QUICKLY GETS BACK UP BEFORE LIFTING CHARLIE UP ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Cy Henderson is thinking about something big here, but I’m not too sure if that’s a good idea! Charlie will definitely take a lot of damage, but Cy could easily get himself hurt here too!
Rich Russillo: I think Cy knows that very well, but he clearly doesn’t mind taking that risk as he climbs up anyway! Cy is on the middle rope, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO GET CHARLIE IN POSITION FOR A SUPERPLEX- BUT CHARLIE IS FIGHTING BACK!!!! CHARLIE WITH REPEATED PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS WON’T BE THAT EASY FOR CY!!!! CY DELIVERS A FEW PUNCHES OF HIS OWN, AS THESE TWO CONTINUE TO GO BACK AND FORTH UP TOP! ONE WRONG MOVE AND SOMEONE COULD BE TAKING A REALLY BAD FALL, ONE THAT COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THIS MATCH!
Madison Kaline: Well that’s too bad. Charlie had it easy, yet now he’s struggling against someone that’s already hurt. If these are my Territorial Invasion opponents I might as well be announced as the winner right now.
Sienna Jade: Are you sure you want to do this right now? Don’t forget Madison, I already defeated you without a problem before. Multiple times, actually.
Madison Kaline: Right, and at Territorial Invasion you’ll know exactly how it felt. I won’t be the one losing, so you might as well focus on that joke inside of the ring right now.
James Peters: Cy Henderson seems to have gained the upper hand against Champagne Charlie, as a huge right hand to the face was able to knock Charlie off his game. Cy Henderson now once again looking to get Charlie in position for the superplex- BUT WAIT A SECOND!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY CHARLIE!!!! LOOK AT THAT!!! CHARLIE MANAGED TO DROP DOWN THE TOP ROPE UNDER CY HENDERSON, AND NOW HE PULLS CY OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES!!!! CHARLIE IS CARRYING CY ON HIS SHOULDERS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SOMETHING IN HIS MIND!
Rich Russillo: YOU WERE RIGHT! THERE’S A HUGE SIT OUT POWERBOMB BY CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE, AND HE KEEPS HENDERSON IN POSITION FOR THE COVER!!!! KNOWING THE PAIN CY IS ALREADY IN, THIS ONE MAY BE OVER!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-
Rich Russillo: NO, CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!! Champagne Charlie looks a bit surprised and just shakes his head, knowing this match isn’t over yet. I don’t think he’s too mad about that though, as he knows Cy can’t have that much left in him. Then again, maybe Charlie is underestimating Cy. Maybe he has a lot more in the tank than we think.
Persephone: That’s terrible news! Surely there’s something we can do about this.
James Peters: Charlie backs into the corner, and it looks like he’s waiting for Cy to get back to his feet! I don’t know what exactly Charlie has planned right now but given the condition Cy is in, any move could be big here. Charlie has done a fantastic job of not letting up here and that fact alone could be the reason Charlie leaves this match with the victory. Cy now making it to a knee, AND CHARLIE RUNS IN FOR A RUNNING KNEE LIFT-
Rich Russillo: NO! CY PULLS HIS HEAD BACK AS CHARLIE RUNS RIGHT PAST HIM! CHARLIE STOPS HIMSELF BEFORE TURNING AND CHARGING AT CY- BUT CY HENDERSON DROPS HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!!! AMAZING MOVE BY CY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE ISN’T FINISHED JUST YET!!!! CY GRABS CHARLIE AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB CARRY, BEFORE CHARGING INTO THE CORNER AND DELIVERING A BUCKLE BOMB! TWO HUGE MOVES IN A ROW, WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM!? CHARLIE STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW LOOK!
James Peters: CY GRABS CHARLIE FROM BEHIND IN A HALF NELSON, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH A NECKBREAKER!!!! AMAZING COMBINATION BY CY, AND NOW CY HENDERSON FINALLY HOOKS THE LEGS AS HE GOES FOR HIS FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
James Peters: KICKOUT! WHAT A KICKOUT BY CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE!!!!
Sienna Jade: Just ridiculous. That nearly got a three count. What’s Charlie’s excuse for being like this, exactly? How can you possibly expect to convince anyone you’re the best Hall of Famer around here when you can’t even make it past an already hurt Cy Henderson?
James Peters: It sounds like neither you nor Madison are very impressed by Charlie tonight. Do you guys think you would do better?
Sienna Jade and Madison Kaline: Obviously.
Madison Kaline: What? What are you talking about? You’d probably just embarrass yourself exactly like Charlie is right now.
Sienna Jade: You’re so stupid it’s exhausting.
Rich Russillo: Alright guys let’s try to focus on the match. After all Cy Henderson is now the one in control as Champagne Charlie is now resting on the middle rope. Cy now heading out to the apron, AND HE RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!!!! Cy dropping his leg onto the back of Charlie’s head, and Charlie is in a lot of trouble right now!
James Peters: Cy Henderson slides into the ring as Charlie stumbles back up, holding the back of his head! CY NOW WITH THE CYCLONE LARIAT- NO!!! CHARLIE DUCKS UNDER THE CYCLONE LARIAT, AND NOW THERE’S THE CHARING CROSS- NO!!! THIS TIME IT’S CY THAT DUCKS UNDER, AND NOW CY GOES FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX-
Rich Russillo: NO HE DOESN’T! BEFORE HE EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO DELIVER THE MOVE, CHARLIE PULLED HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!!! IS CHARLIE ABOUT TO STEAL THIS ONE!?
Persephone: YES! END THE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
Persephone: :francis:
James Peters: IT’S NOT OVER YET, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS SCRAMBLE TO THEIR FEET BEFORE- WOW! BOTH MEN WITH THE SAME IDEA, DROPPING EACH OTHER WITH CLOTHESLINES!!!! It’s incredible seeing how much fight these two have in them right now! Cy Henderson and Champagne Charlie are both slowly pushing themselves back up, AND CHARLIE HITS CY WITH A RIGHT HAND! Both men push themselves back to their feet, AND NOW CY KICKS CHARLIE IN THE MIDSECTION! Charlie drops down to a knee, BUT HE GETS BACK UP AND HITS CY WITH AN ELBOW SMASH!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE NOW ON THE OFFENSIVE ONCE MORE AS HE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! CHARLIE WITH A SECOND KNEE NOW, AND A THIRD! CHARLIE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING, HE’S SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN CY AS HE KNOWS CY CAN’T KEEP THIS UP! WHILE BOTH MEN ARE HURT, IT’S OBVIOUS WHO’S IN WORSE SHAPE HERE! CHARLIE NOW DELIVERING PUNCHES TO THE FACE OVER AND OVER, BEFORE FINALLY HE SENDS CY INTO THE ROPES FOR A- WAIT A SECOND!
Madison Kaline: Cy Henderson held onto the ropes. The fact that Charlie still can’t finish this match is just mind blowing. I already had low expectations, but this is just ridiculous.
James Peters: Charlie runs towards Cy Henderson, AND CHARLIE LOOKS FOR A BIG BOOT, BUT CY DUCKS UNDER IT!!!! CHARLIE CAUGHT HIS BOOT ON THE TOP ROPE FOR A MOMENT, BUT HE’S ABLE TO FREE HIMSELF BEFORE TURNING AROUND- RIGHT INTO THE CYCLONE LARIAT!!!! THE CYCLONE LARIAT CONNECTS, AND NOW CY HENDERSON QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF CHARLIE FOR THE COVER!! IS THAT IT FOR CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE, IS THIS ONE OVER!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
James Peters: NO, NOT YET!!!! CHARLIE MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!!
Rich Russillo: This has been a fantastic match by both men! I don’t think Cy Henderson expected that kickout, but more importantly I think he’s really feeling the effects of the damage he’s taken tonight. He has already been in a brawl earlier, and now he has to deal with Charlie giving him such a good fight. Cy Henderson backs into the corner, and it’s clear he has some sort of plan, but I’m not so sure what it is. Whatever it is, he’s the one in control here. One more big move, and that might be it for Champagne Charlie!
Sienna Jade: Glad I’ll be able to leave soon, then. I should’ve known not to expect much. Not from Charlie, and definitely not from that relic Madison.
Madison Kaline: Excuse me?
Persephone: Oh my God… Can we not do this right now?
James Peters: Cy Henderson is patiently waiting as Champagne Charlie is beginning to stir, though at this point I’m not so sure if Charlie should actually get back up! He’s the one in the danger zone this time around, as we’ve seen Cy in action before and we know that he’s NOT the kind of competitor to take lightly. If Charlie isn’t careful this match might just be over!
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr is pushing himself back to his feet, AND NOW CY HENDERSON RUNS IN, LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH UP! CALAMITY-
James Peters: NO! CHARLIE AVOIDS IT AND CAUSES CY TO RUN PAST HIM BEFORE BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES- RIGHT INTO THE HEADMASTER RITUAL!!!!! THIS TIME IT’S CHARLIE’S VARIATION OF THE SPINEBUSTER THAT CONNECTS, AND THAT ONE MAY HAVE JUST SEALED CY’S FATE!!!! CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE HOOKS THE LEGS, AND I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Persephone: WHAT!? WHY???
James Peters: CY HENDERSON JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MARR CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES!!!! HE’S ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE, BUT THE REF SAW EVERY BIT OF THAT KICKOUT! SOMEHOW CY WAS ABLE TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP JUST A MOMENT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT, SAVING HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH!!! This is what’s coming Drake King’s way at Territorial Invasion, meanwhile I can’t say I blame Charlie for being surprised, as he’s done everything in his power to keep Cy Henderson down tonight! The fact that this match still isn’t over, it’s incredible!
Sienna Jade: More like a testament to Charlie’s lack of wrestling ability. This is just pathetic.
Madison Kaline: You didn’t have to be here, you know. This would’ve been a less unbearable experience if you weren’t.
James Peters: Champagne Charlie just starts dragging Cy Henderson back up before beginning to pull him into the double underhook, BUT CY BEGINS TO DELIVER PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION! CY MANAGING TO FEND CHARLIE OFF, BUT IS THIS ALL THAT CY HAS LEFT IN HIM!? CY STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER AND NOW CHARLIE CHARGES IN- BUT CY MANAGES TO GET A BOOT UP! Cy now grabbing Charlie by the back of his head, BEFORE SLAMMING CHARLIE FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! Cy now with an irish whip to the opposite corner, and he charges in-
Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING CY TO GO SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!!!! CHARLIE PULLS CY OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE IS LOOKING FOR THE CHARING CROSS AGAIN- WAIT NO! CY DUCKS UNDER BEFORE GRABBING CHARLIE FROM BEHIND, AND THIS TIME IT’S CY DELIVERING THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Charlie slowly rolls back to his feet, but I don’t even think he knows where he is! Cy now powering Charlie up onto his shoulders, IS HE GOING FOR WHAT I THINK HE IS!?
James Peters: NO! CHARLIE SLIPS DOWN BEHIND CY BEFORE SHOVING CY INTO THE ROPES, AND NOW THERE’S THE HEADMASTER RITUAL FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!!! THE SPINEBUSTER ONCE AGAIN CONNECTS, BUT THIS TIME AROUND CHARLIE DOESN’T BOTHER GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!! It’s like Charlie’s been forced to throw everything he has at Cy, which is really amazing! If this is Cy while he’s hurt, just how much is he capable of at his one hundred percent?
Sienna Jade: I’m sure it doesn’t matter, and as for you Madison… You should watch your tone. We all know that I have a great track record when it comes to embarrassing you, and if you’re not careful I might just go ahead and do that again tonight.
Madison Kaline: And how will you do that?? You’re not going to do anything to me. You’d be an idiot to try touching me, Sienna.
James Peters: Guys… The match. Charlie has rolled out to the apron, and I think he’s about to head up to the top rope!
Sienna Jade: Madison, Who do you think you’re fooling, here? You’re not a threat to anybody, and you would have been better off not returning at all. There’s nothing left for you here. You already proved that when you failed to win the Universal Women’s Championship more than once.
(Suddenly, Madison Kaline gets out of her seat. She removes her commentary headset before walking to the other side of the table, slapping the headset off of Sienna Jade. Throughout this, Champagne Charlie is seen on the top rope.)
Rich Russillo: :whoa: Guys, I really don’t think you should-
(*SMACK!*)
(Sienna Jade slaps Madison Kaline in the face, causing a loud sound that even catches the attention of Champagne Charlie. Charlie looks over towards the area, and is just annoyed seeing Sienna and Madison stand face to face, arguing with each other as they look prepared to fight.)
James Peters: Charlie clearly doesn’t like what he’s seeing, but he turns his attention to Cy… BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!! SIN SALIDA!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!!!! CY HENDERSON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!!!! CHARLIE LANDS ON HIS FEET BUT DROPS TO A KNEE- AND CY HENDERSON USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL CHARLIE INTO A SCHOOL BOY!!!! NO WAY, IS CY ABOUT TO DO IT!?!?!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… CCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HHHEEENNNNNDDDEEERRRSSOOONNNNNN!!!!!!
(The crowd explodes with cheers, and ‘Tupac Back’ begins playing once more as Cy Henderson rolls out of the ring. The referee exits the ring to raise Cy’s hand, meanwhile Champagne Charlie immediately gets to his feet in complete disbelief. He stares at Cy Henderson and the referee, before eventually turning towards Sienna Jade and Madison Kaline, who are still arguing.)
James Peters: WOW! That was a surprising turn of events here as Cy Henderson managed to steal the victory despite what Drake King did to him before the break! Of course, we all know Charlie was distracted, as the issue currently going on between Madison and Sienna threw him off his game and stalled him!
Rich Russillo: That’s true. I didn’t expect it, but in the end what can you- OH WHAT THE HELL!?!?
James Peters: MADISON AND SIENNA WERE ARGUING AND HAD JUST BEGAN SHOVING EACH OTHER, BUT BEFORE EITHER OF THEM COULD MAKE A MOVE, CHARLIE GRABBED A STEEL CHAIR FROM UNDER THE RING AND THREW IT AT THE BACK OF MADISON’S HEAD!!! MADISON DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND LOOK AT CHARLIE’S FACE, HE’S FURIOUS!!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE RUSHES OVER TO THE AREA AS SIENNA GOES AFTER HIM, AND NOW HE AND SIENNA JADE ARE GOING AT IT!!!!! SIENNA AND CHARLIE ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH- BUT WAIT A SECOND!!!! CHARLIE JUST DUCKED UNDER ONE OF SIENNA’S STRIKES, CAUSING HER TO HIT THE RING POST!!!! SIENNA HOLDS HER HAND IN PAIN, AND NOW CHARLIE KICKS HER IN THE MIDSECTION!!!!
James Peters: THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!!!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD CONNECTS ON SIENNA JADE, AND NOW- WAIT!!!
Rich Russillo: MADISON KALINE IS BACK UP AND IS ATTACKING CHARLIE FROM BEHIND!!!! SHE IS HITTING CHARLIE WITH PUNCHES TO THE BACK AND THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, AND CHARLIE USES THE APRON TO GET BACK UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW!
James Peters: Charlie turns around, BUT MADISON DELIVERS A BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION, CAUSING CHARLIE TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS!!!! MADISON NOW GOING FOR THE- NO! CHARLIE DUCKS UNDER, AND NOW THERE’S THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!! CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE TAKES DOWN BOTH OF HIS TERRITORIAL INVASION OPPONENTS!!!! We know that part of the reason he returned was to find joy in wrestling, but he doesn’t look very happy right now.
Rich Russillo: Of course not. He’s furious after losing that match, and if Charlie keeps this up, Sienna Jade and Madison Kaline might be in some trouble at Territorial Invasion.
(Both Madison Kaline and Sienna Jade are seen laid out on the ground, and Champagne Charlie just stares at them, pissed off after the way things played out in that match. Charlie just slowly begins walking off, and as Madison and Sienna are seen still down and out, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Slowly, as the camera begins to fade back in from the momentary commercial break that lingered around for minutes prior; we begin to pan around the Helsinki Halli Arena, in Helsinki Finland. The camera slides across the LED ribbon up in the rafters as it aims down at the arena below, specifically the entrance way. The center of the camera focuses on the titantron, as it pans around, eventually fading to a hand-held on the ramp itself. The camera remains pointing up, looking directly at the yellow electricity-themed Voltage graphics, the yellow electricity zapping at the Voltage logo loop. Though, soon enough, it would be replaced as we see footage play on the titantron itself – fully black, however, the video not yet loading in. The broadcast screen would fade to this black screen moments later, as we cut to another hand-held camera, this time one dragging across the marble floor in the backstage area, the light from the camera reflecting off of the floor alongside the ones on the ceiling. Though, the marble floor wouldn’t be seen for long, as the camera pans up to a large wooden door, focusing on the nameplate reading “Molly Waters.” We fade inside, as we see Molly sitting at the desk of her office, facing the camera.)
Molly Waters: The Ace. The Master. The Doctor. Three of the best Elitists on the Voltage brand. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are just two weeks away from Territorial Invasion, and what an event we have waiting for you. Here at EAW, we intend to make sure that each event surpasses the last, keeping an upward climb in the quality of the product, and the main event of Territorial Invasion absolutely reflects this, as the War Games stipulation returns to the main event once more. But that isn’t all. Not only has the match increased in prestige, but the competitors have too. Each year gets better than the last, and this year is no different, as there are former World Champions, Hall of Famers, and future Hall of Famers all across the board. For Voltage? This is no different. Each brand brings something to the table. Each brand brings something with the winning formula. But this year, Voltage brings one of the greatest teams assembled. The Ace. The Master. The Doctor. Jamie O’Hara. Rex McAllister. Dr. Bethany Blue. Two Hall of Famers. Three former World Champions. The absolute best of the best.
(On the screen, footage begins to display of Dr. Bethany Blue. First, we see her victory against none other than Miku Sakai at 2022’s Empress of Elite finals, earning the crown, earning a future World Championship around her waist. Then, we see her run as Unified Tag Team Champions, the gold shining around her waist. However, gold wouldn’t STOP shining, as the footage then begins to display her victory over Sienna Jade for the Universal Women’s Championship. Dr. Bethany Blue raises it up high, before we return back to Molly Waters, who begins to speak again.)
Molly Waters: First, we have none other than The Doctor; Dr. Bethany Blue. It speaks volumes about the competitor that she is when, amidst two Hall of Famers, she feels right at home in this team. Her accolades speak for themselves. 2022 Empress of Elite Winner. 1x EAW Unified Tag Team Champion. 1 EAW Specialists Champion. 1x EAW Interwire Champion. 1x EAW Universal Women’s Champion. Thus, making her an EAW Triple Crown Winner. These luxuries are NOT afforded, nor earned, by just anyone. These are RARE, these make you the upper echelon, and even though her crowning season was just this year? It speaks volumes when that doesn’t detract from her spot in this match, not in the slightest. However, Bethany doesn’t just bring accolades to the table, as she has so much more. Recently, Dr. Bethany Blue has been able to pick up major victories against Hall of Fame Elitists, such as the likes of Cameron Ella Ava, and Sienna Jade, proving her capabilities, and much like the rest in this match, she has connections to the other teams. On the Showdown side, Dr. Bethany Blue not only was a former partner of Sheridan Muller, but is married to Adam Lucas, a dynamic that will no doubt bring a lot to the table. On the Dynasty side? Dr. Bethany Blue was the FIRST Marquee Matchup for none other than The Czar Limmy Monaghan, and who is to forget about her history with Kassidy Heart at Pain For Pride? The history, the accolades, the victories? No doubt does this make her a credible threat.
(Molly finishes speaking, as we slowly begin to fade back out, as we begin to see footage of none other than Rex McAllister. We see him pick up his first EAW World Championship at Grand Rampage in 2018, shortly followed by his first EAW World Heavyweight Championship just a few months later at Voltage: Crossfire. We then see his eventual Grand Rampage victory in 2020, followed up by his victory over Andrea Valentine at Pain For Pride 13. Slowly, the camera fades back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Next up, The Master; Rex McAllister. Much like Dr. Bethany Blue, Rex is a heavily successful Elitist, and the first of two Hall of Famers on this very team, being inducted in 2020 which was one of Rex’s most successful years, perhaps ever. That very year, at Pain For Pride 13 – fresh off a Grand Rampage victory – Rex McAllister cemented himself as a double Champion, as he picked up the EAW World Championship that night, already being the Unified Tag Team Champion. Those accolades look like this; 1x EAW Unified Tag Team Champion. 1x EAW New Breed Champion. 1x EAW National Elite Champion. 1x EAW World Heavyweight Champion. 2x EAW World Champion. 1x EAW Grand Rampage Winner. Accolade, after accolade, after accolade; all proof of his ability, and his success. Rex McAllister’s legacy also speaks for itself, as it has earned him a Hall of Fame ring, and so many awards, so many appreciations, so many headliners. This match? This is nothing new for Rex, not just the stage, but the match itself. This is something he is familiar with. The same goes for his opponents, especially on the Dynasty side. Rex McAllister has had numerous bouts with the likes of Myles and Limmy Monaghan. Rex facing off against Myles back when he first returned, at Bloodsport 3 years ago, in Sadistic Madness – a match that also, prior to occuring, Myles had screwed Rex out of his Unified Tag Team Championship, awarding Limmy his first title no less – and again at King of Elite in 2021. As for Limmy? Rex has gone on record stating that it was with his match last year against Limmy, his return match, that sparked him to come back full time. That will no doubt play into this match here.
(Moments later, we fade out once more, as we cut to none other than Jamie O’Hara. The video package continues, as we see numerous of his big moments, such as his EAW World Championship victory at EAW Redemption, 2015, his record-setting EAW World Heavyweight Championship victory at Grand Rampage 2017, and his Answers World Championship victory at Pain For Pride 13, the same event that Rex McAllister had won his latest World Championship. We see Jamie O’Hara raise all the gold, before cutting back to Molly.)
Molly Waters: Lastly; The Ace. What can be said about Jamie O’Hara that hasn’t been stated already? When it comes to Jamie, many consider him the greatest of all time. That is reflected in his deep, deep history here in EAW that spans back all the way to 2014. He himself is a Hall of Famer, and he himself has many many accolades. Originally, before it was surpassed by Andre Walker, Jamie O’Hara was the Longest Reigning New Breed Champion. He is the current Longest Reigning EAW World Heavyweight Champion, which just so happens to be the Longest Reigning World Championship across the board. He is a 1x EAW Unified Tag Team Champion. He is a 1x EAW New Breed Champion. He is a 1x EAW World Champion. He is a 1x EAW World Heavyweight Champion. He is a 1x Answers World Champion. He is the 2015 Cash in the Vault Winner. He is the 2019 Grand Rampage winner. And that is just touching the tip of the iceberg. Jamie is, for all intents and purposes, one of the greatest, and having him lead this team brings many advantages. One being his history with the Elitists in this match. It was 2020 where he was a finalist in the King of Elite tournament, representing Showdown, the year that Chef Viz came out on top. It was a year later where he entered a rivalry with Myles, one that was revisited last year at Road To Redemption. And it was just a few months prior to that where Jamie O’Hara was submitted by Kassidy Heart at Pain For Pride. Jamie brings a deep history with many Elitists in this match, but he also brings a deep history of greatness.
Molly Waters: Every brand brings something to the table, but in my eyes, Voltage brings the best. These three Elitists have lucrative histories that cannot be replicated or duplicated by anyone else, and together, combined with their history against the other Elitists in this match – that is no doubt going to bring something to the table that very few know how to counter, and will definitely help their performance. A performance that, in three weeks, could just be victorious.
(Molly Waters smiles as she finishes up her speech – the camera then fading off as it cuts to a screenshot of all three Elitists on the team holding up their most recent World Championships. The Ace. The Master. The Doctor. The best on Voltage. Some of the best in EAW. A formidable team.)
(Moments later, we fade elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen plays as Blue comes out to a negative reaction from fans, not that Bethany is all that concerned as she comes out, and poses on the stage, a confident grin on her face as she marches down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Residing out of Boca Raton, Florida, weighing in at 125 pounds…DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!
James Peters: Well, here comes Bethany Blue-
Persephone: And I’m actually happy to see her.
James Peters: That’s a neat surprise. How come?
Persephone: Means the show is almost over!
James Peters: Of course…
Rich Russillo: Well, as Persephone just implied there, Bethany Blue, Drake King, two formidable competitors in their own right, and no stranger to one another either.
(‘Footsteps of Doom’ by KOHTA YAMAMOTO plays, and gets a positive reaction from fans, and Drake comes out full of energy, laughing to himself, showing no signs of doubts before going into face Bethany Blue. After all, he’s the World Champion, that belt shining off his waist beautifully as he walks down to the ring, a giant grin on his face.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Residing out of The Dead Sea, Israel, weighing in at 220 pounds…HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION…HE IS GOD…HE IS…DRAKE KING!!
Rich Russillo: Come Territorial Invasion, both Drake and Bethany have big things to look forward too.
James Peters: You’re right, Drake faces Cy Henderson, and Bethany represents Voltage in War Games.
Rich Russillo: Speaking of Cy Henderson, Drake did send a message to him earlier in that night, so as if it wasn’t already, his confidence has to somehow be running even more high.
(Drake enters the ring, and poses in the center, spreading his arms. Afterwards, ‘Footsteps of Doom’ by KOHTA YAMAMOTO fades out, and Drake backs himself into the opposite corner to Bethany, taking his entrance gear off, and preparing for battle as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: I’ll tell you what, the crowd in Helsinski, Finland are electric tonight as both competitors circle each other. Bethany Blue, Drake King lock up in the center of the ring, jockeying for position briefly. However, Drake King gets the upper hand, trapping Bethany Blue in a standing side headlock, proceeding to wrench on the hold, making sure it’s in tight.
Rich Russillo: Drake transitions with a side headlock takedown, but Bethany escapes out the grounded side headlock with a headscissors, using those long legs of hers. Drake King kicks out, and both competitors scramble back to their feet, returning to a vertical base at the same time. Drake and Bethany stare each other down as they circle around the ring once more.
James Peters: There’s another collar and elbow that takes place in the center of the ring, and Bethany Blue manages a side headlock takedown this time, but Drake counters with a headscissors, forcing Bethany Blue to kick out of it this time! Both competitors rush back to their feet, and they’ve been very evenly matched thus far.
Persephone: Can this match actually pick up please?
Rich Russillo: Well, Persephone, you gotta realize that were still in the-
Persephone: Didn’t ask.
Rich Russillo: :kyrie:
James Peters: Again, Bethany and Drake circle one another, engaging in another collar and elbow tie-up in the center of the ring. Drake isolates the arm of Bethany Blue, and wrings it before transitioning into a hammerlock, putting pressure on the Doctor’s shoulder. Bethany ducks underneath the arm of King, and counters with a hammerlock of her own. Drake elbows his way of it, delivering two back elbows to the jaw, one loosening Bethany’s grip, but the other breaking it.
Rich Russillo: Afterwards, Drake runs off the ropes, and Bethany tries for a hip toss. BUT DRAKE BLOCKS IT, STANDING HIS GROUND, AND REVERSES WITH A HIP TOSS OF HIS OWN! Bethany Blue quickly rises up to a vertical base, favoring her back, and Drake takes her down with a side headlock, grounding Bethany. With her in the hold, Drake pins Bethany’s shoulders down to the mat, looking to pull a fast one!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: Bethany Blue gets the shoulder up, and makes sure to keep it up, not wanting to find herself in another pinning predicament in this hold. Bethany rolls Drake onto his shoulders for a cover on her own, however!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Two count for Bethany Blue, but Drake King rolls right back into position for the grounded side headlock. Bethany powers up to her feet, bringing Drake along with her. Blue starts to loosen Drake’s grip with a couple of back elbows to the midsection, managing to break said grip with the last one that connects. Bethnay runs off the ropes, and drops Drake with a shoulder tackle!
James Peters: Drake was already a little stunned after those elbows, leaving him open for that shoulder tackle to drop him. Bethany runs off the ropes, but Drake rolls onto his belly, forcing Blue to leap over him like a hurdle! Bethany rebounds off the ropes again, and Drake pops back to his feet, leapfrogging over Bethany’s head! Drake waits for Bethany to rebound off again, but Bethany wisely avoids the waiting arms of King, grabbing hold of the top rope, which she uses to halt her momentum, and slides out of the ring.
Persephone: Where is she going? Get back in there, you idiot!
Rich Russillo: Bethany is creating some slight separation between King of herself. Bethany saw she was getting overwhelmed, and decided to go back to the drawing board, needing to catch a breather, and conjure up a new gameplan. BUT DRAKE WONT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN SO EASILY, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES, AND SOARING THROUGH THE MIDDLE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ONTO BETHANY BLUE!
(Drake hops up on the announce table, and spreads his arms, basking in the cheers given to him by fans.)
James Peters: Wow, as you can see, Drake is FIRED UP!
Persephone: Well, Drake needs to get off my announce table, he’s stepping on my notes.
James Peters: …it’s blank.
Persephone: So? Mind your business.
James Peters: :wow:
Rich Russillo: Drake steps off the announce table, realizing that Bethany Blue is beginning to stir, and he rolls her back inside the ring, not wanting to waste too much time here. Drake climbs to the top turnbuckle, and stalks Bethany Blue as she slowly rises to her feet. But The Doctor may not want to turn around as DRAKE KING FLIES OFF THE TOP WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!
James Peters: BUT BETHANY BLUE ROLLS THROUGH, AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS DEEP! DRAKE IS SQUIRMING TO GET OUT OF THE COVER, BUT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: DRAKE MANAGES TO KICKOUT! Both competitors rush to their feet, and Bethany catches Drake with a KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Bethany grabs hold of his wrist, and bounces Drake off the ropes for an irish whip! BETHANY CHARGES WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, DROPPING DRAKE, AND BRINGING HIS MOMENTUM TO A SCREECHING HALT!
Rich Russillo: Bethany hooks the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout at two! Drake sits up, but Bethany is immediately back on the attack, laying him back down for mounted right hands to the face! Bethany Blue is amping the aggression a little, and ends the attack off with a STOMP to the midsection! Drake sits up, clutching at his abdomen before crawling over to the corner, which he pulls himself up in.
James Peters: Bethany is hot on his heels, and connects with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP on Drake in the corner! That echoed throughout the arena, but Bethany isn’t done, and connects with ANOTHER vicious chop to the chest! With Drake stunned slightly, Bethany irish whips him to the opposite corner, and charges in with a clothesline!
Rich Russillo: BUT BETHANY CAN’T SEPARATE FROM DRAKE AS HE HAS HER IN A HEAD AND ARM TRIANGLE! DRAKE ABSORBED THE BLOW FROM BETHANY BLUE, AND USED TO BAIT HER IN! NOW, HE DIRECTS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING FOR A FLATLINER! BUT DRAKE ISNT DONE, TRANSITIONING INTO A KOJI CLUTCH! WHICH HAS BECOME KNOWN AS THE SCRIPTURE UNDER DRAKE KING!
Persephone: YES! TAP!
James Peters: BETHANY BLUE MAY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO AS SHES TRAPPED IN THE CENTER WITH THAT KOJI CLUTCH, NOWHERE TO GO! YOU CAN SEE THE PANIC ETCHED ACROSS BETHANY’S FACE AS DRAKE LOOKS TO CINCH IN THE HOLD TIGHTER AND TIGHTER! BETHANY REACHES OUT TO THE ROPES, BUT AS WE MENTIONED, SHES IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! THOSE ROPES ARE NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY RAISES HER HAND, CONTEMPLATING A TAP OUT, BUT DECIDES AGAINST, NOT WANTING TO GO OUT THAT WAY AGAINST KING!
Persephone: WELL, WHAT CHOICE DOES SHE HAVE?! JUST TAP OUT!
James Peters: BETHANY! BETHANY RISES TO ALL FOURS, AND STARTS INCHING TOWARDS THE ROPES! BUT BETHANY COLLAPSES BACK DOWN, AND I THINK SHES BEGINNING TO FADE FROM THE KOJI CLUTCH!
Rich Russillo: YOU CAN SEE BETHANY’S EYES BEGINNING TO FLICKER, SHE IS DEFINITELY STARTING TO FADE! BETHANY REACHES OUT TOWARDS THE ROPES, HAVING GOTTEN HERSELF CLOSER THIS TIME, BUT STILL, SHES JUST OUT OF REACH! FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM THE ROPES! BETHANY’S HAND GOES DOWN LIMP, AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END HERE!
James Peters: DRAKE HAS INTENSITY IN HIS EYES, WRENCHING THAT HOLD IN MORE AND MORE, MAKING SURE THERE IS NO ROOM FOR BETHANY BLUE TO BREATHE HERE! AND THIS MIGHT I- NO! BETHANY BLUE GRABS HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE, USING UP ALL HER REMAINING ENERGY SHE HAD LEFT TO DO SO!
Persephone: DAMMIT!
Rich Russillo: Bethany Blue is a fighter, refusing to quit there! Drake releases the hold, but you have to question: is the damage already done? Drake eyes Bethany Blue down, stalking her, watching her as she uses the ropes to slowly pull herself back up. Unbeknownst to Blue, Drake is behind her, lying in wait. Bethany turns around, and staggers into Drake’s clutches for a flatlin- NO! BETHANY ELBOWS HER WAY OUT OF IT, DOUBLING DRAKE OVER!
James Peters: AND BETHANY SENDS DRAKE KING SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Bethany hobbles toward Drake in the corner, and pulls him out from between the middle rope, leaning Drake up against the ropes for an irish whip off of them!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY WANTS ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE ON DRAKE- BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN! BETHANY SIDESTEPS WHATEVER DRAKE HAD PLANNED, GRABBING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, SENDING HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: DRAKE GOES OVER, BUT HANGS ON TO THE TOP ROPE, AND TRIES TO SKIN THE CAT! BETHANY LOOKS TO INTERRUPT THINGS, BUT GETS GRABBED IN A HEADSCISSORS BY DRAKE, AND SENT UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE HERSELF! NOW, DRAKE SUCCESSFULLY SKINS THE CAT, AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CROSSBODY ON BETHANY BLUE AS SHE ROSE TO HER FEET!
Persephone: Wow… so impressive.
Rich Russillo: Bethany Blue begins crawling away from Drake, who catches up to her, and pulls Bethany Blue back up, putting her between his legs for the pedigree. BUT THE ASCENSION GETS COUNTERED BY BETHANY BLUE WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND SHE ROLLS DRAKE ONTO HIS BACK FOR FRACTURED! FRACTURED IS IN! BETHANY BLUE’S PATENTED ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB!
James Peters: DRAKE KING IS IN A WORLD OF HURT ON THE OUTSIDE!
Persephone: WHAT IS SHE DOING?! SHE NEEDS DRAKE ON THE INSIDE FOR THIS TO ACTUALLY END THE MATCH!
James Peters: THERES LOT OF PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THAT BACK BY BETHANY BLUE! BUT SHE NEEDS TO BE WARY, WARY OF THE REFEREE’S COUNT, WHICH IS UP TO FIVE!
Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY! BETHANY BEATS THE COUNT, HAVING BROKEN THE HOLD, SLIDING IN THE RING, BUT QUICKLY SLIDES RIGHT BACK OUT, RESTARTING THE REFEREE’S COUNT! Bethany pulls Drake up to his feet, and drives him BACK FIRST into the ringpost! Drake collapses to all fours, holding his back in pain, and Bethany slides back in the ring, very proud of herself right now. The referee begins counting Drake out.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
James Peters: The ref can only manages a count of six before Drake climbs back on the ring apron. BETHANY BLUE CHARGES IN WITH A SHOULDER THRUST, KNOCKING DRAKE OFF THE APRON, AND BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Bethany Blue exits the ring, and rolls Drake back in, beginning to circle Drake as he makes it all fours. Bethany is like a shark who smells blood in the water, finding a chink in Drake’s armor, and exploiting it.
Rich Russillo: Bethany pulls Drake up by the rear of his tights, and plants him with a BACK SUPLEX! Bethany doesn’t stop there, pulling Drake up for a STALLING VERTICAL SUPLEX! Bethany didn’t keep him up there for long, but the fact she was able to stall with a 220 pound man shows off her strength, and her power as a competitor.
Persephone: :mjlol2: Drake is getting cooked, which almost makes this match enjoyable. Almost.
James Peters: Bethany hooks Drake’s leg for a cover, wanting to end the match here!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
James Peters: Kickout! But Bethany doesn’t seem very bothered, pulling Drake up by his hair, and planting him with a URANAGE BACKBREAKER! Bethany hooks the leg for another cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Another kickout! You gotta hand it to Bethany, she has a plan, and is currently executing it to perfection. Drake likes to lift a lot, utilizing maneuvers such as the buckle bomb or falcon’s arrow, attacking his back could help neutralize that side of his offense, and leave him vulnerable for another boston crab, but also the Say Ahhh! manuever. Drake can’t exactly fight back if he has no fight left in him.
James Peters: Drake sits up, but Bethany digs her knee into his back for a rear chinlock, pulling back on Drake’s head. Bethany is attempting to wear the World Champion down, and for a while, is successful in that endeavor. But she can’t keep the champion down as Drake King starts powering back to his feet, and begins breaking the hold with shots to the rib cage!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND BETHANY DUCKS DOWN, PERHAPS SIGNALING A BACK BODY DROP! BUT DRAKE STOPS HIMSELF SHORT, AND SPIKES BETHANY WITH A DDT! However, Bethany showcases her ring savvy, rolling away from Drake King, so she’s out of reach for a cover.
James Peters: Bethany starts to pull herself with assistance from the ropes, and Drake slowly stands himself up in the center of the ring. Bethany makes it to her feet JUST before King can, and goes to deliver a right hand, BUT DRAKE BLOCKS IT, AND RETURNS FIRE WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! BETHANY STAGGERS BACK SLIGHTLY, AND GOES TO DELIVER ANOTHER RIGHT!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE KING TAGS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE SHE CAN CONNECT, AND STARTS TO UNLEASH A FLURRY OF RIGHTS, BACKING BETHANY AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP! BETHANY COUNTERS, SENDING DRAKE TO THE ROPES INSTEAD! DRAKE REBOUNDS OFF, AND KING COMES BACK WITH A SLINGBLADE!
James Peters: BETHANY RISES UP, AND STUMBLES IN THE CORNER! DRAKE RUNS IN- BUT BETHANY SENDS HIM UP AND OVER HER SHOULDER TO THE OUTSIDE! NO! DRAKE CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, AND CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM ON BETHANY AS SHE TURNED AROUND, KNOCKING HER BACK FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY GOES DOWN TO A KNEE, AND DRAKE GOES TO HOIST HER UP FOR A BUCKLE BOMB! BUT BETHANY BLUE COUNTERS THE POWERBOMB ATTEMPT WITH A SUNSET FLIP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: DRAKE ROLLS BETHANY ONTO HER SHOULDERS FOR A PIN NOW, SHIFTING THE MOMENTUM!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: BETHANY ROLLS DRAKE BACK ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE PIN!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE GOES TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM ON BETHANY AGAIN- BUT BETHANY ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND HOOKS THE LEGS OF DRAKE FOR FRACTURED AGAIN! BUT DRAKE USES HIS LEG STRENGTH TO FLING BETHANY OFF, CAUSING HER TO FLIP FORWARD ON HER BACK!
Persephone: :roman:
James Peters: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND BETHANY TOWARD DRAKE FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDERNEATH, GRABBING BLUE IN A REAR WAISTLOCK! BETHANY DELIVERS A FEW BACK ELBOWS, AND PULLS OFF A SUCCESSFUL GO BEHIND, PLACING DRAKE IN THE REAR WAISTLOCK NOW! DRAKE GOES FOR A BACK ELBOW, BUT BETHANY DUCKS UNDERNEATH! DRAKE SPINS AROUND, AND GETS PLANTED WITH A FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER!
Rich Russillo: BUT BETHANY BLUE DOESNT STOP THERE, PULLING DRAKE UP BY THE HAIR FOR A TWIST OF FATE VERSION OF THE REMEDY! FRONT FACELOCK CUTTER BY BETHANY BLUE LANDS, AND BETHANY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEE-
James Peters: SHOULDER UP! BUT BETHANY TRIES PINNING DRAKE AGAIN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEE-
James Peters: DRAKE POPS THE SHOULDER UP AGAIN!
Persephone: Now, why did she think that’d work a second time?
James Peters: I think it boiled down to frustration starting to settle in for Bethany Blue. Drake starts to crawl away from Bethany, pulling himself up in the corner. Bethany catches up to him, and starts hammering Drake with rights and kicks to the midsection, alternating between both. Bethany irish whips Drake to the opposite corner, BUT DRAKE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND DIVES ONTO BETHANY WITH A CROSSBODY AS SHE CAME CHARGING IN!
Rich Russillo: Bethany pushes Drake off, and both competitors slowly rise back to their feet. Drake inches closer to Bethany, and connects with a HARD RIGHT! BETHANY ANSWERS WITH ONE OF HER OWN! DRAKE WITH ANOTHER RIGHT! BETHANY GOES FOR A KICK TO THE ABDOMINAL OF DRAKE KING, BUT DRAKE CATCHES THE BOOT, AND TRIPS BETHANY DOWN TO THE CANVAS FOR A SLINGSHOT CATAPULT!
James Peters: DRAKE JUST CATAPULTED BETHANY FACE FIRST INTO THE LED RINGPOST, AS BLUE HIT THE VERY TOP, AND STAGGERS BACK INTO A SCHOOL BOY BY KING!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRR-
James Peters: KICKOUT! Bethany may have kicked, but as she’s on all fours, you can tell she’s a bit glazed over after colliding face first with the ringpost. Drake gets to a knee, and pulls Bethany up to her feet, having a handful of hair. BUT BETHANY DRIVES DRAKE BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: Bethany drives her shoulder into the abdomen of Drake repeatedly, and lifts him to the top turnbuckle. Bethany climbs to the middle rope, and hooks up for a TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX! BUT BETHANY ISNT DONE, AND ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, NOT LETTING GO OF THE SUPLEX, AND GOES TO HOIST DRAKE UP AGAIN- BUT KING SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM WITH A FALCON’S ARROW! DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE-
James Peters: BETHANY BLUE KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Jesus. They’re both resilient, it’s part of why I hate them.
James Peters: Drake King lays back down, exhausted, his body having been put through so much wear and tear, and the same can be said for Bethany Blue. Regardless, Drake realizes that there’s still more work that needs to be done, and rolls out to the apron, beginning to climb to the top rope. Bethany has risen to a knee, and is beginning to stir, it’s unbeknownst what awaits.
Rich Russillo: BETHANY! BETHANY GOT DRAKE WITH SAY AHHH! RIGHT BEFORE HE COULD PERCH HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! THE MANDIBLE CLAW IS IN! THE MANDIBLE CLAW IS IN!
James Peters: AND LOOK AT DRAKE’S PLACEMENT! ONE FOOT ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BUT THE OTHER STILL ON THE MIDDLE! ONLY THING THATS KEEPING DRAKE FROM TAKING A FALL TO THE OUTSIDE IS DRAKE HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE TO THE TOP ROPE, BUT THATS ONLY WITH ONE HAND! AND DRAKE COULD EASILY LOSE HIS GRIP ONCE STARTING TO FADE BY WAY OF MANDIBLE CLAW!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK AT THE WILY OF OUR CHAMPION, STEPPING DOWN TO THE APRON, THAT MANDIBLE CLAW STILL LOCKED IN! BUT NOT ANY MORE AS DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI, HITTING BETHANY BLUE SQUARE BETWEEN THE EYES!
James Peters: BETHANY BLUE FALLS BACK, HITTING HARD ON THE CANVAS, AND DRAKE SEES AN OPENING, CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE, BUT TURNS HIS BACK TO BETHANY, FLYING OFF WITH A PHOENIX SPLASH! DRAKE FAVORS HIS GUT AS HE RISES OFF THE BODY OF BETHANY BLUE, AND STAGGERS BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Persephone: What?! Why isn’t he covering?!
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT THE INTENSITY IN DRAKE’S EYES! HE WANTS A DEFINITIVE END AS HE STALKS BETHANY BLUE, WHO RISES TO A KNEE! DRAKE CHARGES IN- BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO THE MANDIBLE CLAW! MANDIBLE CLAW BY BETHANY BLUE!
James Peters: DRAKE FLAILS HIS ARMS, REALIZING HES IN DANGER! BUT KING DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, DOUBLING BETHANY BLUE OVER, AND BREAKING THE MANDIBLE CLAW, SO HE CAN CONNECT WITH THE PEDIGREE!
Rich Russillo: BUT THE ASCENSION IS COUNTERED WITH A BACK BODY DROP! DRAKE LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES OPPOSITE TO BETHANY! BETHANY RUNS OFF THE ROPES OPPOSITE TO DRAKE! BUT DRAKE DAMN NEAR TAKES BETHANY’S HEAD OFF WITH A GUILLOTINE! CLAYMORE KICK FINDS ITS MARK!
James Peters: DRAKE IS EXHAUSTED, BUT MANAGES TO DRAPE HIS ARM OVER BETHANY BLUE FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: KICKOUT! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, BETHANY BLUE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: OH, FOR FUC- WAIT, YES!
(The crowd reaction rises as Sheridan Müller runs down the ramp before sliding in the ring. However, she’s at first blocked by the referee, who is trying to stop her from getting to either Drake or Bethany.)
James Peters: YES! THANKFULLY, THE REFEREE IS ATTEMPTING TO KEEP SOME ORDER!
Rich Russillo: WAIT, NO! SHERIDAN PUSHED PAST THE REFEREE, AND NOW SHE GOES AFTER HER FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER!!!! THE REFEREE IS CALLING FOR THE BELL!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd reign down with boos as the ref signals for the bell, still trying to keep Müller at bay to the best of his abilities.)
Rich Russillo: Well, thanks to Sheridan’s appearance, the referee just threw out a perfectly good match!
James Peters: THE BELL MAY MEAN THE MATCH IS OVER, BUT THE BELL DOESNT MEAN THAT SHERIDAN’S INTENTIONS HAVE CHANGED AS SHE POUNCES ON TOP OF BETHANY!
Rich Russillo: SHERIDAN HAS MOUNTED BLUE, AND BEGINS PUMMELING HER WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS BETHANY DOES HER BEST TO COVER UP!
Persephone: I sat through that entire match… just for it to end in a no contest…
James Peters: BETHANY MAY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WITH THE CLAYMORE, BUT SHE STILL HAS SOME WHEREWITHAL LEFT IN HER, POSSIBLY THANKS TO THE SLIVER OF TIME BOUGHT BY THE REFEREE, AND SHE MANAGES TO PUSH SHERIDAN OFF! BETHANY STRUGGLES BACK TO HER FEET, BUT SHERIDAN RUSHES TO HERS, AND MARCHES TOWARD BETHANY!
Rich Russillo: TJD! SHERIDAN WANDERED INTO THE TJD, WHICH SENDS HER TUMBLING OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
(Drake King scoots back into the corner, sitting up against the bottom turnbuckle, his body racking with pain, but he peeks over at the action, putting the pieces together of what happened.)
James Peters: SHERIDAN LANDED ON ALL FOURS RINGSIDE, AND BETHANY RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE ONTO MÜLLER, WHO COLLIDES BACK FIRST WITH THE BARRICADE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY SCRAMBLES BACK TO HER FEET, AND STARTS TO HAMMER SHERIDAN WITH RIGHTS WHILE SHES LEANED AGAINST THAT BARRICADE! MÜLLER TRIES COVERING UP, BUT WITH THE OVERWHELMING ONSLAUGHT BY BETHANY BLUE, SHERIDAN DECIDES TO PUSH HER AWAY, AND TRY CREATING SOME SEPARATION!
James Peters: SHERIDAN STAGGERS OVER TO A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE, BUT BETHANY CHARGES IN! OOH! BETHANY GOT SENT UP AND OVER SHERIDAN’S SHOULDER INTO THE CROWD AREA, HITTING FACE FIRST ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR!
Persephone: Jeez, I could hear Bethany’s butterface smack off the floor from here.
Rich Russillo: SHERIDAN CLIMBS OVER THE BARRICADE, AND LIFTS BETHANY UP TO A VERTICAL BASE, SENDING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE INNER BARRICADE! BETHANY BLUE TRIES STAGGERING AWAY FROM SHERIDAN, NOW BEING FORCED ON THE DEFENSIVE, BUT SHERIDAN IS HOT IN PURSUIT, FOLLOWING BETHANY BLUE DOWN THE WALKWAY!
James Peters: SHERIDAN CATCHES UP TO BETHANY, AND SMASHES HER ACROSS THE BACK WITH A CLUBBING BLOW! BETHANY STUMBLES FORWARD, AND FINDS HERSELF IN THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA, CAUSING BELLA AND EVERYONE TO CLEAR OUT! SHERIDAN FOLLOWS BETHANY IN, BUT BETHANY GRABS A STEEL CHAIR, AND DRIVES IT INTO SHERIDAN’S GUT!
Rich Russillo: SHERIDAN GETS DOUBLED OVER AS A RESULT, AND BETHANY SMASHES HER ON THE BACK WITH IT AS WELL! PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE OF MÜLLER, WHO EXITS THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA, FINDING HER WAY BACK TO RINGSIDE!
James Peters: BETHANY FOLLOWS HER, AND HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS IN MIND AS SHERIDAN LEANS UP AGAINST THE RINGPOST! BETHANY SWINGS FOR THE HEAD- BUT SHERIDAN DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND THE VIBRATION CAUSES BETHANY TO DROP THE CHAIR!
Rich Russillo: SHERIDAN GRABS THE BACK OF BETHANY’S HEAD, AND-
Persephone: SHIT! :krabs:
(Commentators get out the way as Bethany Blue gets launched over the announce table by Müller. Sheridan catches her breathe before going to follow up, but she’s interrupted by security, who flood the area, preventing Sheridan from getting to Bethany, and Bethany from getting to Sheridan as she groggily pulls herself out the rubble.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
James Peters: CROWD ARE CHANTING LET THEM FIGHT, AND I CANT DISAGREE! I WANT TO SEE THEM GO AT IT SOME MORE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY BLUE IS CLEARLY A BIT STUNNED AFTER GETTING SENT OVER OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, BUT NOTICE HOW SHE STILL WANTS TO GO AT IT WITH SHERIDAN MÜLLER?!
James Peters: TRUST ME, SHE’LL HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD COME WAR GAMES!
(Meanwhile, the camera cuts to Drake King, who has his World Title in hand, backpedaling up the ramp, not looking to involve himself in either woman’s business. But runs into a problem as he backs into Cy Henderson on the stage area.)
James Peters: Uh oh… Drake thought he was in the clear, but his night isn’t over yet.
(An angry and annoyed Drake slowly turns around, coming face-to-face with Cy Henderson, who gives him a wave.)
Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE CHARGES CY, LOOKING TO HIT HIM WITH THE TITLE, BUT CY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND GRABS THE LEG OF DRAKE KING, TRIPPING HIM DOWN TO FLOOR!
James Peters: DRAKE IS TRYING TO SQUIRM AWAY FROM CY, BUT CY KEEPS HOLD OF HIS LEG, AND LOCKS DRAKE IN THE VOID LOCK! VOID LOCK! STF IS IN, AND CY IS CRANKING ON IT WITH ALL HIS MIGHT!
Rich Russillo: IF CY WAS LOOKING FOR REVENGE AFTER EARLIER, THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT, BEGINNING TO CHOKE OUT THE WORLD CHAMPION! DRAKE IS FLAILING HIS ARMS, PANICKING GREATLY IN THAT SUBMISSION MANEUVER!
James Peters: BUT THERES NOWHERE FOR HIM TO GO, NO ROPES FOR HIM TO GRAB! CY IS CHOKING OUT DRAKE KING!
Persephone: :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: AND IM JUST BEING TOLD WERE RUNNING OUT OF TIME, BUT WHAT A VISUAL TO END ON, WHAT AN ENDING TO VOLTAGE IN GENERAL! FIRST, THE BRAWL BETWEEN BETHANY AND SHERIDAN, NOW THE STF APPLIED BY CY HENDERSON!
James Peters: THIS IS VOLTAGE!
(Officials run out from the back, trying to pry Cy Henderson off Drake in the Void Lock as King begins to fade for the final shot.)
