(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s episode of Voltage kicks off the show: Ryan Wilson kicks off the show by talking about his defense against Mary S. Atlas later in the night and how the winner will be added to the Brand Warfare match. Jamie O’Hara then comes out, telling Ryan to beg for his spot, and when Ryan was actually going to, Jamie laughed at him. Amir Yusuf then came out, declaring his spot as the next challenger for Ryan’s New Breed Title. Ryan is not amused, before Amir then proceeds to challenge Jamie for the following week, in which Jamie doesn’t hesitate on accepting. Cleopatra then comes out, calling out Minerva to the ring. She tells Cleo to spit out her ulterior motive, which she says that she wants Minerva at Clash of Kingdoms 2 for the National Elite Championship; in which Minerva agrees. Captain Charisma then invites both Donovan Duke and Alex Myers to his office, revealing that there will be a Male Divide & Conquer match at Territorial Invasion with Dynasty and Showdown taking on Voltage. Both Donovan and Alex accept, and while they’re arguing to be Captain, it’s interrupted by Kirk Redwood. Kirk states his claim before Captain Charisma happily makes him the third member in the D&C. The first match of the night is underway as the team of Lucas Johnson and Shane Gates goes up against Jay Jerry Johnson and Kirk Redwood. After miscommunication by Jay and Kirk, it’s Shane that gets the pin and the victory for his team. At the end of the match, Jay takes out Kirk completely laying him out before choking him out. Drake King then comes out to talk about Jake Smith who only sees him as an afterthought and finds it baffling that he thinks he can be World Champion. Jake then comes out with Josh The Dog, who claims that Drake is scared of him. After some bickering from the two of them, Drake finally gets annoyed and accepts the match calling it his death wish. Rebecca Blackwell is in action going up against Hikari Kanno, after a hard hitting matchup, it’s Hikari that comes out with the win. Hikari then is met backstage by Miku Sakai, where she asks if Rebecca would make a good addition to the team. Miku obviously isn’t amused, but says whatever and says to recruit her. Hikari then stumbles upon both Rebecca and Mary S. Atlas, where Hikari puts out the offer, and Rebecca accepts. Ximena Velasquez then goes up against Ms. Extreme’s opponent of choice for her, and that’s Donovan Duke. Ms. Extreme puts in her best effort to make sure that Donovan wins, but in the end it’s Sierra that lays her out giving Ximena the opportunity to get the victory, where in the end it’s Sierra and Ximena that stand tall over Donovan and Ms. Extreme. Drake King and Myles are then seen, where Drake seems to be partially infuriated that Minerva went to check on Ms. Extreme. Myles then calls him out saying he knows how he looks at Ms. Extreme, where Drake in morbid disbelief denies it. Minerva then comes in, before a mysterious note is handed to Myles, asking him to come to Clash of Kingdoms 2 with his ring gear as well. All of them in complete confusion and anger. Minerva and Myles are then in action, going up against the team of Justin Windgate and Chris Elite. After a tough match, Team Dynasty jumps the barricade and starts a brawl with Team Voltage along with Drake who comes out. In the end it’s Viz that slides into the ring and completely takes Minerva out, allowing Chris to get the victory for his team. Molly Waters then has an interview with Candice Blair, where she talks about Danny Tanner and how he has it made with someone like her on his side, believing in the both of them. Candice then reveals that Captain Charisma asked her to participate in a special women’s exhibition match at Clash of Kingdoms 2, and how she’s going to teach Ashley Flores a lesson or two as a result, using the money that she wins to support UNICEF USA for Afghanistan. With the Unified Tag Team Champions on commentary, Danny Tanner and Candice Blair go up against Jake Smith and Holly Arrow. After a selfish Jake puts himself over Holly, Holly leaves him out to dry for Danny to get the biggest victory of his career. The EAW World Champion is in action as Drake King goes up against Alex Myers. After a tough challenge by Alex though, it’s Drake that comes out on top in the end. Then in the main event, Ryan Wilson defends his New Breed Championship against Mary S. Atlas. After a tough contest and great showing by the two of them, it’s Ryan that manages to retain, forcing Jamie to welcome him to the team to end the recap from there.)
(It then goes to the State Farm Arena where ’33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami is heard blasting through the speakers to the eruption of cheers from the EAW Universe in attendance. Pyro begins to shoot out of the stage while everyone in the arena seems to be hyped for the occasion. It pans around at the absolutely boisterous crowd before fading to the commentary team of Rich Russillo, James Peters, & Persephone.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen, we are welcoming you LIVE from Atlanta, Georgia! Welcoming you live to another episode of SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!!!
James Peters: And what a stacked show we have on hand for you tonight, just two weeks short of Territorial Invasion! Keeping with the tradition of what’s been going on when it comes to Dynasty and Showdown turf, our EAW World Champion, Drake King will be in action! Going up against Dynasty’s SOSA Henderson and Showdown’s Lethal Consequences in triple threat action and a match for brand supremacy!
Persephone: Zzzzz… AH! Sorry, my bad, I just fell asleep because of how BORING this show is undoubtedly going to be! Like always, but should I be surprised? Let’s just get this show on the road so I can go back to my hotel room.
(As Voltage fades to the stage, ‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro SAGISU hits, and immediately the crowd sinks into boos. The booing becomes louder than the music, and soon after all three members of New Eden begin walking out to the stage. Myles, Minerva and Drake King all walk out dragging the EAW Championship, National Elite Championship, Cash in the Vault briefcase, and holding microphones in their hands.)
James Peters: New Eden’s out here right now and it looks like they have something to say!
Persephone: As always :francis:.
Rich Russillo: I can’t say I’m surprised that they have something on their mind. On Dynasty New Eden managed to come out on top as Minerva just barely managed to get the count out win in the triple threat, but the same didn’t happen on Showdown as Impact managed to pin Andre Walker for the victory.
James Peters: There’s still one more Stadium Stampede preview match left, and I think that might just be why they’re out here.
(All three members of New Eden enter the ring, and they take a few seconds to just look at the crowd, full of fans booing as loud as they possibly can. The trio doesn’t bother waiting for them to quiet down to speak, because at this point they realize that it’s not going to happen.)
Minerva: This week should’ve served as a lesson for everyone competing in that Stadium Stampede match. Let’s face it, neither Showdown nor Dynasty’s teams are simply worried about capturing the victory for their brands. There’s a target on New Eden’s back, and both brands are aiming for it…
Myles: But neither of them could actually hit it.
Minerva: We all saw what happened on Dynasty. The Visual Prophet wanted the victory, Theron Nikolas wanted the victory, but the only ones left standing at the end was New Eden, all while team Showdown was forced to watch as one of their own teammates came up short, and was reduced to complaining about it as if we haven’t seen this time and time again in the past. As if the match wasn’t still going to be won by New Eden whether it was by countout, pinfall or submission.
Myles: And Showdown? We all saw what happened on Showdown? Did I get the victory? No. Impact did, and he did it by defeating Andre Walker. There’s a reason Impact pinned Andre Walker in that match despite taking us both out, and our history is the reason why. He KNEW that the match wouldn’t have been over if he tried to stop us. Why? Because he doesn’t have what it takes to put us away. He didn’t have what it took at Reckless Wiring. He didn’t have what it took at Grand Rampage. He doesn’t have what it takes now, and if this is what team Showdown consists of, then I almost feel sorry for them. I almost feel sorry for Dynasty too, because in the end Andre Walker’s the one that failed. Just like the Visual Prophet failed, and just like SOSA Henderson’s going to fail tonight.
Drake King: I don’t know why anyone has any faith in any of the other two brands to actually get the job done at Territorial Invasion. Things were never going to end any other way. Dynasty and Showdown don’t have what it takes to stop New Eden from capturing the victory and getting the opportunity to make Voltage a better show. We ALL tried to warn them. Every single person on Dynasty and Showdown was warned that this would happen, and let’s be honest. All they’re going to do going forward is take pride in attacks like Showdown’s on Dynasty a few days ago and Dynasty’s on us last week. They’re going to take pride in small things like Impact pinning Andre Walker. Anything to distract from the reality of the situation. Anything to avoid the fact that Territorial Invasion is what matters most, and we’re not losing the Stadium Stampede match.
Minerva: Of course not. We were picked for this for a reason. Captain Charisma hates our guts. He desperately wants to see us fall, but even he understands that there’s no stopping us when we’re on the verge of changing this company for the better. There was no stopping us at Grand Rampage, no stopping us at Pain for Pride, and the list goes on. Territorial Invasion will be no different, no matter how many of you wish that wasn’t the case.
(The crowd’s booing grows even louder.)
Drake King: At Territorial Invasion six Elitists that we’ve already faced in the past will have the opportunity to face us again, just to face the same exact result. As soon as we were given the opportunity to run Voltage and make this the best show possible, there was no way that we’d allow ourselves to come up short when it matters most. The other brands have yet to realize that, but whose problem is that? It’s not ours. We’ve warned them time and time again, and these past few days have served as the biggest warning. TONIGHT will serve as a warning, and I know they won’t listen. They’re going to just brush off these matches, and continue making the same promises that they made right before they entered the ring. That’s how it always goes, and at Territorial Invasion they’re all going to fail to get the job done once again, just as we said they would.
Myles: Not like people refusing to listen is anything new. A good majority of the company is delusional and would rather stay inside their own head. You know, like the guy that lost to Danny Tanner a week ago because he couldn’t be bothered putting in any actual effort.
Drake King: Right.. The guy that’s in an EAW Championship match :francis:. I’m not surprised in the slightest that Jake couldn’t be bothered to show up in a match that doesn’t benefit him, but it really does bother me that this is the same guy that loves to pretend he’s on top of the world and that he deserves everything when he doesn’t do ANYTHING. Jake has never given anything to this company and we’d be much better off if he just wasn’t a member of the roster, but instead we have to see him and his stupid dog every single week. I don’t think anyone on the planet actually expects Jake to leave Clash of Kingdoms with the EAW Championship, even if this title really does represent him in a way. It’s worthless, and hurts the company, and the world will be better off once it doesn’t exist. That comparison is the closest Jake will ever get to the Championship though, and I don’t think it’ll come to anyone’s surprise when our match at Clash of Kingdoms ends with Jake on the losing end.
Minerva: And of course, my match against Cleopatra will end the exact same way. Returning for a Championship match against me was the worst choice Cleopatra could’ve made for herself, because I’m not going to just sit back and let her climb right back to the top when she’s already accomplished everything she needed to. Cleopatra loved to brag and shove her “legacy” in our faces, but she’s the one that chose to return to EAW to add more to it. She’s the one that returned so she could get another accolade at our expense. Cleopatra has no reason to be in this company anymore, and what did they do for her as soon as she made her return?
Drake King: Put out a red carpet..
Myles: Give her a throne..
Minerva: And celebrate her, as if she was ever anything other than a glorified bully, picking on Elitists like myself who had only just joined the company at the time. Cleopatra isn’t the type of Elitist that needs to be celebrated, but I guess since she had her career taken away from her by Amber Keys we’re all supposed to feel bad and treat her as if she’s some victim when in reality she got everything she deserved. I’d never allow Cleopatra to take this Championship. She shouldn’t have even been allowed to return to this company, much less return to the ring, but if this is what she wants, then I’ll give it to her. I accepted Cleopatra’s challenge for one reason, and one reason only. I accepted her challenge to make sure she suffers the same fate everyone at Territorial Invasion will. I accepted her challenge to make sure she fails just like Jake Smith will. The woman that has their hand raised at the end of our match won’t be Cleopatra, and there’s no chance in hell that she’ll become the National Elite Champion.
Myles: It’s been a week since I got that invitation to Clash of Kingdoms, and to this day I have no idea why I’m wanted there. I don’t know why I was given that invitation or why this is being treated as such a big deal, but I just wish that whoever sent me that letter would stop being such a coward and just show themselves. There’s no reason why they should have to hide behind letters and refuse to show who they are. There’s no reason why I should have to fly out to Clash of Kingdoms without any idea of why I’m going there. Drake knows that he’s facing Jake Smith, and he’s going to win. Minerva knows that she’s facing Cleopatra, and she’s going to win. I don’t know ANYTHING yet, and I still have yet to receive an answer. I have yet to understand why I’ll be there. I’m not a fan of the hiding, so whoever it is that wants me at Clash of Kingdoms better come out here right now and explain-
(Before Myles could finish, he notices someone walking out to the stage. It’s Captain Charisma’s assistant Stacy, who gave Myles the envelope last week. She’s making her way to the ring, and she has another envelope in her hand.)
James Peters: :lupe: Well here comes Captain Charisma’s assistant who we saw last week. She has another one of those envelopes, and I can only imagine that it’s for the same reason she gave Myles an envelope last week.
Myles: ….
Persephone: Man, if it’s not Rexy giving Myles these letters so he can ultimately get his revenge at Clash of Kingdoms, I don’t care what it is.
(Stacy enters the ring, and she hands the envelope to Myles. Myles looks around at the envelope to try and see who it came from, but there’s no information.)
Myles: No name? Nothing?
Stacy: 🤷♀️
(Stacy leaves the ring and walks back up the ramp to the backstage area, and both Drake and Minerva look down at the envelope, before looking at Myles, who’s visibly frustrated by the lack of information.)
Myles: You know what? I’m not dealing with this shit.
(Myles tears up the envelope along with whatever was inside of it, and immediately the boos from the crowd start up again, as the fans were interested in whatever was inside of it.)
Myles: I don’t give a shit who’s doing this, or why I’m wanted at Clash of Kingdoms. If it’s a match, so be it! I’ll compete, and whoever it is I’m facing that’s clearly too afraid to actually reveal themselves is just gonna have to suffer the exact same fate everyone else will! It doesn’t matter who it is. If they want a match, then fine. They’ll get a match, and they’ll regret all these stupid envelopes and invitations and whatever the fuck they’re planning.
(Myles drops his microphone to the mat, and soon after ‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ begins playing once again, and all three members of New Eden begin to make their way out of the ring.)
James Peters: Well it looks like Myles is fed up with whoever it is giving these envelopes. He doesn’t care who it is at this point, but I have to admit I’m still very curious!
Rich Russillo: Me too. There’s gotta be a reason for all of this.
(As New Eden makes their way out of the ring and heads up the ramp, the camera fades to the backstage area where Sofia Clarke is seen with a microphone in her hand. She’s not on her own though, as Cleopatra is standing right next to her with a smirk on her face, causing the crowd to cheer heavily.)
Sofia Clarke: Cleopatra, moments ago Minerva has made it clear that she doesn’t plan to let you win the National Elite Championship, saying that you shouldn’t have been allowed to return to the company in the first place. Is there anything you’d like to say about that?
Cleopatra: Well, it’s no secret that Minerva’s always been jealous of me and what I’ve been able to do in my career. I knew Minerva wouldn’t take me returning lightly, especially once I made it clear that I wanted her Championship. That’s not my problem though. I was allowed to return to EAW because everyone in this company understands that you can’t keep a star like myself away. You can’t just refuse to let me return to the ring. I was never going to be gone forever, and it doesn’t matter if Minerva’s upset about that. When you’re Cleopatra, you’re not treated the same way everyone else is. You have red carpets rolled out for you, you have thrones, you’re carried to the ring, and you’re allowed to return to EAW, in her own words, for a Championship match against Minerva. The treatment I’m being given now is treatment I earned after everything I’ve gone through in my career, and unfortunately for Minerva she’s just going to have to deal with that whether she likes it or not. I don’t plan to leave Clash of Kingdoms until that National Elite Championship belongs to the Queen of the Nile…
Cleopatra: But, as much as I’m sure Minerva wishes otherwise, she’s not going to be the first person I face since 2019.
(This announcement causes the crowd to explode, and Sofia Clarke actually looks a bit surprised to hear that.)
Sofia Clarke: … Are you saying that you’re actually going to compete in a match before Clash of Kingdoms?
Cleopatra: Yes, I am. Next week I’m going to be inside of the ring, and I want Minerva to be at ringside to watch. That way she’ll know exactly what to expect, and she can’t be surprised at all once I leave Clash of Kingdoms with that Championship.
(With a smirk still on her face, Cleopatra begins to walk away from the area. Sofia Clarke turns around towards the camera, still surprised from the announcement.)
Sofia Clarke: Well there you have it. Next week we’ll be seeing Cleopatra inside of the ring, for her first wrestling match since Pain for Pride 12 in 2019!
(The crowd continues cheering, and from there the camera begins to fade away, and out to the first commercial break of the night.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial for Drake’s Certified Lover Boy album featuring Impact, who talks about why Donda and Kanye West is better.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and ‘Taste (Make it Shake)’ by Aitch blares through the arena as Rebecca Blackwell, and her tag team partner Mary S. Atlas stroll out through the curtain, and scan the audience. They smile at each other before making their way down the ramp, hi-fiving fans, before rolling into the ring)
James Peters: It was a tale of two stories last week for these two. An unfortunate loss for Mary S Atlas as she came up short against New Breed Champion Ryan Wilson, and for Rebecca Blackwell coming up short against Hikari Kanno, but still getting invited to be a part of Team Voltage for the Divide and Conquer match at Clash of Kingdoms. Team Voltage seems to be shaping out pretty nicely wouldn’t you guys say?
Rich Russillo: I would, but there’s still the question of who else is going to be on Team Voltage, and can IDOL-GUN play nice with literally anyone else? It’ll be an interesting team dynamic, as we clearly know who holds the reigns of the team. We know IDOL-GUN has the upmost belief in themselves, but we’ll see if they can play nice with others. They’re a pretty close clique, hopefully they can actually put the trust in others.. Especially Miku.
Persephone: Seems like the biggest assortment of who fucking cares I’ve ever seen. I’d rather put a cheese grate to my nipples rather than listening, or watching any of these people talk, or wrestle. Unfortunately it seems like tonight we have to see literally both of these things, and you know what? I’m crossing my fingers that this is their retirement speech, so that none of us, especially me, have to suffer through this absolute bore of a program once they decide to force themselves upon us.
James Peters: They’re both quality wrestlers, with Rebecca having a huge opportunity coming up. Team Voltage is shaping up quite nicely.
Rebecca Blackwell: I was disappointed in my performance last week, I won’t lie. Facing off against Hikari Kanno was a big opportunity, and in my opinion, I let myself, and the fans down. She beat me, and I can’t take anything away from her, she was the better wrestler on that night. But be that as it may, though the match didn’t go the way that I wanted, Hikari saw something in me clearly. The night ended off pretty well with her offering a spot on Team Voltage for Divide and Conquer at Clash of Kingdoms. Of course it was an offer that I couldn’t refuse. I see the Team that Dynasty is putting together, and I know those women don’t compare in the slightest to what Team Voltage has going on. I compete on Voltage every single week, and I can tell you from experience, Voltage is the most competitive roster, that anyone could hope for. I get better every single week just due to the people I get to share the ring with. I am lucky to be on this show, so I could get better against the absolute best of the best. Come Clash of Kingdoms I have no doubt in my mind that we aren’t going to just deliver a victory for Voltage, we are going to overdeliver, and show the world that we mean business. It only means so much to talk about it, so we’re going to let our wrestling do the talking in that ring. No one stands a chance when Team Voltage comes to town. They might be confident in what they have going on, but I can assure you that confidence will turn to dread once that bell rings.
(Rebecca turns to Mary, and a smile breaks across her face)
Rebecca Blackwell: Tonight, is a special night too; as the team of myself, and my good friend Mary S Atlas debuts against Lucas Johnson, and Shane Gates. The two of you are an odd assortment. One likes to play with dolls, the other is in an endless loop of telling people what is going to happen, then not delivering on any of the promises he makes. I don’t think the two of you can be on the same page, and even if you are, it won’t be the same kind of chemistry that Mary and I have. Over the past few weeks Mary, and I have grown stronger, and stronger as friends, which does give us an advantage. I don’t care if you have possessed dolls, or whatever the hell Lucas thinks he has on your side. We know that our careers are only on the way up, and we know what we want to do with it. You can’t stand in our way, we’re going right through you to accomplish our goals.
(Rebecca reaches out the microphone to Mary, who is happy to take it)
Mary S Atlas: People might not be looking at our team as any sort of challenge. They might doubt us, they might scoff at our chances in this tag team tournament, and in anyones eyes that would be understandable right? I mean anyone who is facing the EAW World Champion, and the Universal Women’s Champion would be the underdogs.
(Mary shakes her head)
Mary S Atlas: Well not to us. I may have lost to Ryan Wilson last week, and came out of that match without the New Breed Championship, but I know who I am, and I know who Rebecca is too. I’m championship material, and what better title to prove it, than the Tag Team Championships alongside my partner, and friend Rebecca Blackwell. I’m excited for the tournament, and I’m excited for the match tonight.. Buuuut I also have my eyes set on something else.
(Mary turns to Rebecca and they both smile)
Mary S Atlas: With Rebecca getting the invitation to be a part of the Divide and Conquer match, it got us to thinking. I should be in that match too! I should be on Team Voltage alongside Rebecca! I’ve been consistent this season, and every single week I improve. I put up quite a fight against Ryan Wilson for the New Breed Championship last week, and I think I showed I have the heart of a champion. I would be a valuable asset for any team who wanted me. After all, Jamie wanted me for Brand Warfare, and I think Jamie O’Hara of all people knows talent when they see it. So how could you say no? I absolutely want to represent Voltage, as I am a proud member of the roster, and want to showcase just what Voltage is all about. I want to help secure a victory for this brand, and with me on the team, I know it can happen!
(“The Day” by Porno Graffitti plays as a IDOL-GUN come down to the ring almost at the instant their business was brought up. Miku Sakai looks disgusted, and Hikari Kanno looks amused, as they make their way into the ring. Hikari turns to Miku in the ring, and start to have a conversation amongst themselves)
Hikari Kanno: (off mic) What do you think about all this?
Miku Sakai: (off mic) Uugggggh I don’t know, why are they forcing her on us? She kinda isn’t like.. Good; you know?
Hikari Kanno: (off mic) She’s shown improvement, and having a team together that know each other isn’t that bad of an idea.
(Mary gets annoyed at a private conversation that’s clearly about her)
Mary S Atlas: Um excuse me??? I’m standing right here!
(IDOL-GUN turn to her and hold up a finger collectively)
Hikari Kanno: Just a moment please!
Miku Sakai: Be right with you!
(Miku rolls her eyes as IDOL-GUN go back to whispering secretively)
Miku Sakai: (off mic) See she’s rude as hell, interrupting us and shit..
Hikari Kanno: (off mic) Shows kind of a mean streak though right? We can mold her into one of us
Miku Sakai: (off mic) Hmmm, another Miku and Hikari running around? I like the sound of that, the world could use more of us!
(Mary and Rebecca get impatient)
Rebecca Blackwell: Come on guys! You know Mary would be great with us as a team!
(Miku whips her head around)
Miku Sakai: Excuse me!! What the fuck?? You do NOT interrupt us! You do NOT speak out of turn! How dare you try to hurry us up, this is a BIG fucking decision. YOU of all people should understand how LUCKY you are to even be on this team! Know your place.. Anyway Hikari, tell them our decision..
Hikari Kanno: Ladies, I, and the distinguished future Specialists Champion Miku Sakai, would be glad to have Mary on the team. Welcome aboard sport!
(The four of them shake hands, and IDOL-GUN rolls out of the ring making their way back to the backstage; as Mary and Rebecca seem quite pleased with themselves in the ring)
James Peters: Well there you have it, another member added to the Divide and Conquer team for Clash of Kingdoms!
Persephone: God this team SUCKS! COK IS GOING TO SUUUUUUCCK! Not that I give a shit about Voltage being good or whatever, but Voltage is going to be embarrassed at COK! Leave it to Hikari to make horrible decisions with her life. Not that she’s much better than the other three but GOD this awful.. Can I call out? *cough* I feel a cold coming on for weeks from now! Might have to not-
James Peters: You’re an idiot, this team is looking great, and I love our chances at Clash of Kingdoms. Just shut up for once!
Rich Russillo: We’ll be right back after this commercial break!
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Clash of Kingdoms, promoting the women’s Divide & Conquer match.)
(Voltage fades back to a shot of Bella Braxton inside the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH, IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(Crowd repeats loudly “ONE FALL!”)
(‘T.D’ by Lil Yachty, Tierra Whack ft. A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator begins to sound throughout the arena as a mixed reaction is given, and Jay Jerry Johnson walks onto the Voltage stage. Lights decorate his entrance as he confidently appears at the top of the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS! WEIGHING IN AT 198 POUNDS, THE ‘CHARISMATIC ARTIST’!!! JAYYYY JERRYYY JOHNSONNNN!!!
(Crowd continues to give a mixed reaction as Johnson smirks on his way to the ring.)
James Peters: This is a man who despite having only two matches under his belt, gives the finger to anybody who says he can’t become a top star in EAW, or tries to prevent him from doing so. He’s the real deal and he’s got all the skills to make Voltage the home to one of EAW’s brightest new prospects. He can make this opportunity count tonight by showing Sebastian Garcia that EAW is the grandest stage and performances here have to be top notch.
Rich Russillo: Absolutely, you said it, James. This man has all the tools to be a star in EAW, but that’s easier said than done. Jay’s going to need to take every week as a learning experience, win, lose or draw. While he may be facing another extremely fresh face here tonight, don’t get your hopes up and let your guard down. A win here for either man is big, they need to be on their A-Game tonight.
(Jay Jerry Johnson takes his jacket off as ‘Primos’ replaces the sound inside the arena, the eyes peel to the stage and for the first time ever, Sebastian Garcia appears on the EAW stage. Bathed in the decorating entrance lights, a somewhat arrogant smile on his face as he looks out at the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDSSSS, WRESTLING OUT OF TIJUANA, MEXICO!! MAKING HIS EAW DEBUT, SEBASTIANNN ‘THE MAIN ATTRACTION’ GARCIAAAA!!!!
(Crowd sends a mixed reaction to Sebastian Garcia as he doesn’t high-five any of the fans and doesn’t look Jay Jerry Johnson in the eyes, when he rolls in the ring.)
Persephone: Why the fuck is he acting like he owns this place? You’re the new runt of the pack and he’s probably about to be eaten for breakfast.
Rich Russillo: Ronan type beat.
James Peters: He certainly does have the confidence, but will he be able to back it up? His debut in EAW will be anything but smooth sailing if he doesn’t tread carefully against his opponent tonight. But if he does come through with a win, oh my, what a win it will be! He’s got a tough opponent in his first match, but you’re not going to get anything less in EAW! Let’s see what these two are really made of!
(The referee calls for the timekeeper to ring the bell and begin the match.)
DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: Here we go! Jay Jerry Johnson against Sebastian Garcia is underway! They both circle each other and Sebastian immediately storms towards Jay Jerry Johnson! He grabs him in a collar and elbow tie-up, forcing Jay back into the turnbuckles and Garcia is turning on the early aggression! Forcing a forearm into the cheek of Jay, until the referee reaches the end of his five count and Sebastian Garcia shoves his forearm against the face of Johnson!
Rich Russillo: Some gamesmanship early! He wants to get into Jay’s head and it seems as though he’s done so, Jay charges back out and shoves Sebastian back, oh boy, we got a fight on our hands! Sebastian now surges forward with a big punch, but Jay avoids that one, ducking under it and sending Garcia bounding against the ropes! Garcia flings back towards Jay and gets taken down with a leg sweep from Johnson! Jay sweeps the leg of Sebastian and puts him on the canvas!
Persephone: Beginner shit, this guy really must be slow to get taken down with something so simple.
James Peters: He’s getting back to his feet, but Jay goes for another sweep! Sebastian had that one forecasted and sidesteps Johnson, jumping on his back and trying to wrestle his way into an ambar! That armbar submission is part of Garcia’s arsenal, Jay Jerry Johnson slings him off though, sending Sebastion tumbling town to the canvas and scrambling to the corner. He knows he’s in for the toughest match of his wrestling career so far and that he’s going to have to get used to it! This is EAW, this is Voltage!
Rich Russillo: Garcia is trying to collect himself, but Jay is just starting to turn up the pressure! Jay runs towards the corner with a clothesline attempt! Sebastian Garcia avoids that one, gets away from Jay and now takes the offensive! Jay in the corner now- No! Garcia goes for a punch and Johnson catches it and turns this around! He puts Garcia back against the turnbuckles and fires a back kick into his abdomen like a gunshot!
James Peters: What a kick from Jay, who now brings the reeling Sebastian Garcia into the center of the ring, looking to capitalize off his handiwork! He lifts Sebastian up for a powerbomb! OH BOY! WAIT- Sebastian escaped out the backdoor, dropping to the canvas and dropping a nasty punch on the back of Jay’s head! NOW HE THROWS JAY OVER THE TOP ROPE AND JOHNSON HITS THE FLOOR HARD! MY WORD! OH MAN, HERE COMES GARCIA, HE WANTS TO FLY!
Rich Russillo: SEBASTIAN GARCIA COMES OFF THE ROPES AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP WITH A TOPE-CON-HILOOOOO-
James Peters: BANG! JAY SCRAMBLED OUT OF THE WAY AND SEBASTIAN GARCIA SLAMMED INTO THE FLOOR! HE JUST HIT THE OUTSIDE BAD AND HE’S WRITHING IN PAIN! PLAY WITH FIRE AND YOU’LL EVENTUALLY GET BURNT! He took the chance and he paid for it, sometimes the flash gets you in trouble and boy, it had dire consequences for Sebastian Garcia tonight!
Rich Russillo: Jay rolls him back into the ring and he heads onto the apron! Jay is calling for Garcia to get back to his feet, he wants fo yl now too! Show Garcia how it’s done! Sebastian on wobbly legs, he turns around AND JAY JOHNSON LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! WAIT, IT LANDED FLUSH, BUT GARCIA IS SOMEHOW ROLLING THROUGH! HE’S ROLLING THROUGH AND NOW POWERING JAY UP OFF THE CANVAS! WHAT STRENGTH FROM THE MAN WHO JUST TOOK A HORRIFIC DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE!
James Peters: GARCIA HAS HIM UP AND NOW HE’S TRANSITIONING TO A WAISTLOCK, OH NO!!! HE BRINGS JAY UP AND SLAMS HI BACK DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH A GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! THAT ONE FOLDED HIM LIKE AN ACCORDIAN AS HIS HEAD BOUNCED OFF THE CANVAS! SEBASTIAN GARCIA WITH AN UNREAL COUNTER AS JAY HIT THE MAT IN DEVASTATING FASHION, HERE GOES GARCIA WITH THE COVER, FOR A HUGE WIN IN HIS EAW DEBUT!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT!
Persephone: DAMNIT! End this shit already so we don’t have to watch you two duke it out anymore, you’re both fucking trash!
Rich Russillo: They’re both having great performances so far, but-
Persephone: ?
Rich Russillo: Sorry…anyway! Sebastian Garcia can’t believe that didn’t pit Jay Johnson away, but he sees another chance for that cross-armbreaker! He grabs the wrist and tries to crank that arm of Jay down! But he can’t get it fully locked in and now Jay fights out of it, freeing his arm and getting back to his feet! Sebastian meets him there and the two collide with stiff clotheslines that knock each other backwards! Garcia charges towards Jay again- BANG! Jay Johnson with a back elbow! He turned that elbow around and it met the teeth of Garcia! He just clattered the teeth of Sebastian into the front row and now he’s lifting him to his feet again!
James Peters: Jay pushes Sebastian Garcia against the ropes AND FIRES A BIG DROPKICK TO THE FACE! WOW! A THUDDING DROPKICK JUST SENT GARCIA DOWN LIKE A TREE! WHAT ATHLETICISM FROM JAY, WHO GETS UP AND SHOUTS INTO THE CAMERA! HE’S ON FIRE RIGHT NOW AND HE WANTS EAW TO TAKE NOTICE! JAY JERRY JOHNSON HEADS OUT TO THE APRON AND HE CALLS FOR THIS CROWD TO GET ON THEIR FEET! HE KNOWS THIS IS HIS TIME! IT’S HIS MOMENT!
Rich Russillo: HE’S LOOKING FOR ‘MAILMAN’S LANDING’!!! THAT MASSIVE SPRINGBOARD 450 IS ON THE WAY! HERE HE GOES, ON THE TOP ROPE- NO! SEBASTIAN GARCIA JUST GOT UP TO HIS FEET! JAY DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SEBASTIAN RUNS TO THE ROPE AND SCOOPS JAY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! NOW IT’S GARCIA WHO HAS HIM! JAY GETS OUT THE BACKDOOR AND DROPS BACK TO THE CANVAS, HE COMES BACK AND LAUNCHES A BIG KNEE STRIKE AT SEBASTIAN!
James Peters: THAT ONE DIDN’T LAND AND SEBASTIAN GRABS JAY, OH MY, HERE HE GOES! HE LOCKS THE NECK AND THROWS JAY JERRY JOHNSON IN THE AIR, NOW BRINGING HIM THUNDERING DOWN WITH A BRAINBUSTER FROM HELL! STRAIGHT ON TOP OF THE SKULL! NOW HE’S LINING UP FOR THE ‘GARCIA-SAULT’!! STANDING CORKSCREW MOONSAULT FROM GARCIA THAT LANDS ON THE MONEY, CRUSHING JAY JOHNSON AND NOW GARCIA POPS BACK UP, TEEING UP JAY AND SURGING FORWARD WITH A PENALTY KICK! THE PENALTY KICK! HE JUST CRACKED THE SKULL AND JAY IS DOWN AND OUT! SEBASTIAN GOES FOR THE COVER, HE’S ON THE CUSP OF HIS FIRST WIN IN EAW!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! HOW?!
(Crowd chants loudly and cheers as Jay powers out.)
Rich Russillo: HOW IN GOD’S NAME DID HE POWER OUT OF THAT ONE?!? THAT MOONSAULT AND THEN A PENALTY KICK SQUARE IN THE FOREHEAD, MY LORD, HE SHOULD BE DOWN AND OUT!! JAY HAS A TRICKLE OF BLOOD RUNNING DOWN HIS FOREHEAD AS GARCIA EYES THE FINISH! HE SENSES BLOOD IN THE WATER! HE DRAGS JAY JERRY JOHNSON UP FOR A DRAGON SUPLEX, BUT JAY FIGHTS HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE AND HANGS ON TIGHT!
Persephone: Dump him on his head and end this snoozefest, they’re both so bad that they can’t finish the other, they’re allergic to pinfalls!
James Peters: Jay now with a solid back elbow behind the ear of Garcia, that one stumbled him! Garcia stumbles back and then comes forward again! Jay sidesteps the charging bull and gets behind him, DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER! A BACKSTABBER THAT SENDS SHOCKWAVES UP AND DOWN THE SPINAL CORD OF SEBASTIAN! JUST LIKE THAT, JAY HAS CHANGED THE MOMENTUM OF THIS MATCH! HE’S TURNED IT AROUND AND NOW IS CALLING FOR GARCIA TO GET BACK UP!!!
Rich Russillo: GARCIA USES THE ROPES TO STAND AND HE’S BARELY ABLE TO KEEP HIMSELF UP, BUT JAY TURNS HIM AROUND AND THROWS HIMSELF INTO A ‘PRETTY VISITOR’ CUTTER- SEBASTIAN SHOVES HIMA WAY AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON ROLLS BACK TO THE CANVAS, THEY MEET IN THE MIDDLE AGAIN AND DROP ONE ANOTHER WITH FOREARMS! OH MY LORD, THESE TWO ARE SO EVENLY MATCHED AND BOTH SHOWING SO MUCH HEART- WAIT!
James Peters: IT’S JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHO HAS A HOLD OF A SEBASTIAN’S WRIST, JAY HAS THE WRIST AND HE STARTS TO GET TO HIS KNEES! JAY NOW BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE LIFTS GARCIA UP, HE TILTS HIM INTO THE AIR AND SNAPS HIM BACK DOWN WITH A LIGHTNING FAST SUPLEX! NOW PEELING HIM UP OFF THE CANVAS AGAIn, FORCING SEBASTAIN GARCIA TO TAKE THIS BRUTAL PUNISHMENT!
Rich Russillo: JAY JERRY JOHNSON NOW LIFTS HIM UP IN A TORTURE RACK, OH MY GOD, HE’S LOOKING FOR THAT ‘STAY IN THE LINE’!!! TO DUMP SEBASTIAN GARCIA ONTO HIS NECK AND POTENTIALLY FINISH NOT ONLY THE MATCH, BUT HIS CAREER IN THE PROCESS!! GARCIA SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO FLIP BACKWARDS AND LAND ON HIS FEET, SLIPPING OUT OF THAT AWFUL TORTURE RACK HOLD, NOW TRYING FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX ON JAY!
James Peters: JAY RIPS HIS ARMS AWAY AND GOES FOR ANOTHER BACK ELBOW, BUT SEBASTIAN DUCKS UNDER THAT ONE AND SLIPS BEHIND JAY, HE THROWS HIMSELF UP FOR A REVERSE-FRANKEINSTER! JAY CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS AND NOW TRANSITIONS TO THAT TORTURE RACK AGAIN! NOW HE DROPS SEBASTIAN DOWN ON HIS NECK WITH THAT ‘STAY IN THE LINE’ BURNING HAMMER MOVE! OH MY GOD, HE MIGHT’VE JUST FINISHED HIM OFF AND JAY GOES FOR THE COVER, THIS IS ALL SHE WROTE, JAY JERRY JOHNSON FOR THE WIN!

(Crowd cheers intensely as the match continues.)
Rich Russillo: JAY WAS ON THE VERGE OF A HUGE VICTORY AND SOMEHOW, SOMEHOW SEBASTIAN KICKED OUT! MY WORD, WHAT A MATCH AND WHAT FIGHTING SPIRIT THESE TWO BOTH HAVE! JAY RISES TO HIS FEET LIKE A MAN POSSESSED, HE KNOWS THIS MATCH IS IN ITS FINAL STAGES AND HE KNOWS HE WANTS TO BE THE ONE TO END IT!

James Peters: !!!
Persephone: YOU SAID IT! END IT NOW! PLEEEAASSSEEE!!

DING! DING! DING!
(‘‘T.D’ by Lil Yachty, Tierra Whack ft. A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator’ takes over the sound as the crowd stands on their feet for these two men. Jay Jerry Johnson rolls off and wips the blood from his face and hair.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE IS YOUR WINNERRRRRRRR!!! JAY JERYYYYYYY JOHNSONNNNNNNNN!!!
(Crowd gives a mixed reaction as Jay gets to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee.)
Rich Russillo: Wow, what a match. Hats off to both these men for coming out here and displaying the ultimate amount of heart. The fighting spirit that only a great competitor can match and boy, they matched each other tonight.
Persephone: It’s wrestling, not tinder, relax.
James Peters: All he’s saying is that man, they truly left it all inside that ring and gave it all they had. What a performance from both men and honestly, I see big things for both of them. Bright futures are present here tonight and matches like these put you on the shortlist of prospects to watch.
(Jay rolls out of the ring and Sebastian puts his head in his hands as he recuperates on the ropes.)
Rich Russillo: He has no reason to hang his head, he delivered a great performance and even in loss, he looked like a winner. You said it, James, big things for both these men in the future if they work hard and keep up with matches and efforts like this. Wow!
(A shot of Jay Jerry Johnson walking up the ramp is shown as Voltage then fades elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial promoting Kanye West’s Donda album. It appears that this is another paid advertisement from Impact, who goes into detail about why the album is so amazing for way too long until suddenly the commercial cuts off.)
( We now see a backstage view of the arena where Jay Jerry Johnson is walking through one of the corridors following his match against Sebastian Garcia. He goes for a catering table, picking up one of the bottles of water there, and downs a good part of its content much to his satisfaction. He is about to head away as the familiar face of Molly Waters shows up on the screen, a microphone in hand as she smiles and looks towards the water drinking Triple J. )
Molly Waters: Jay Jerry Johnson, do you have a minute for a quick interview? I would like to have your thoughts on your match tonight against newcomer Sebastian Garcia!
Jay Jerry Johnson: Of course I have the time, I have all night now that my in-ring duties are done for the night! Let’s do it.
???: (off-mic) Let’s not, instead, let’s talk…
Jay Jerry Johnson: What the shit?
Molly Waters: Uh?
(Suddenly, none other than Kirk Redwood comes in with a deadpan expression on his face. He simply looks at Jay with a cold look on his face, while Jay looks back at Molly. Jay rolls his eyes and shoos Molly off before he looks back at Kirk with a smug expression on his face. Kirk is obviously very unhappy after what happened last week, but he hides it behind a serious demeanor.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh, it’s you. Why are you even here? You got nothing tonight, no fight or backstage anything!
Kirk Redwood: Who cares, don’t think I forgot what you did last week. I told Lucas Johnson and Shane Gates last week that with or without you Jerry, I would fight them. I stepped up, and there wasn’t a positive ending for me, it happens. But don’t think I’m going to stand idle after what you did after the match, it doesn’t work like that. You’re way over your head and I’m going to make sure that your words, your actions, they don’t go without any sort of consequences in the process.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Whatever man, that was last week. Feel free to keep up with the times’ man besides you lucky prick you had the week off while I had to fight some newbie bloke! So if you’ll excuse me Red, I got places to be that are tons more interesting than staying around your sorry ass. Hit me up later sweet Molly, we’ll do that interview.
(Jay shakes his head and tries to walk past Kirk, not really caring, like he isn’t even there. But in an instant Kirk grabs him by his shoulders and forces him against the wall. The pain must’ve been unbearable to Jay, but it isn’t shown in his expression, he’s unimpressed and doesn’t look so worried. He has zero fear while the cold eyes of Kirk Redwood stare at him. Kirk’s expression doesn’t change despite his actions, simply staring into his soul. Jay sighs before he looks up at him and begins to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Can you lay off me? That outfit costs more than your reputation! Listen I really don’t care ab-
Kirk Redwood: I have enough control not to crack your skull in, so instead, you’re going to be the one that listens to me. You are going to learn the mistakes that you made, the consequences that you brought upon yourself because of what you did. I fight for my family and you tried to take that away from me, and you’ll learn exactly why that will be the biggest mistake that you’ve made.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Just vent and get it over it will ya? You will need to do something about that breath of yours though. Fuck man did you eat raw sewage for supper? Go to catering for some breath mint or something! If you get any closer I might vomit all over your suit! You’ve been warned!
Kirk Redwood: If you think this is funny to you then you’re in for one hell of a surprise courtesy of myself. Once again, I’m not going to go so lightly on you and let you glide by. You know what you did Jay, and I’m making sure that you get your notice, and how there is going to be nobody to protect you once you and I have a proper battlefield to engage in war.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Uh uh… Please go on, you got my full attention. Please share with us whatever the fuck you want to say so I can get the hell out of here and do anything else like oh I don’t know talk with Molly Waters over there!
( Jay was clearly being sarcastic which annoyed Kirk who had an ice-cold death stare in his eyes. )
Kirk Redwood: You’re not in the position to be cocky, Jerry. You’re the one that cost us the match last week, you got pinned, and you were the one that brought shame to this temporary partnership. But if it wasn’t any worse, you had the audacity to attack me afterwards; taking the cowardly way out of it and attacking me from behind, what a mistake you could’ve made. It’ll get you in a heap of trouble around these parts, and I’m going to make sure that one way or another you learn that. Your words will not fall on deaf ears, atheist to me. And I’m going to make sure that you remember if you’re not careful, you might not wrestle again.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Is that right bucko? Silly bozo! Are you sure you were in the same match I did last week? Are you sure I didn’t scramble your brain a little bit out there after the match buddy? It seems to me like you forgot an all-important element in your case here chief: You didn’t want to tag in when I needed you to because poor little you had an owie on your leg from that submission hold that bitch forced on your leg! Oh, woe is me I hurt wahh! wahh! Mean little Lucas Johnson got the Ankle Lock on my whittle ankwle! Bitch! You learn to fight through the pain and you battle through! Do you hurt? So fucking what? Truck on! Put some damn Icy Hot on it afterward or pop some painkillers if you’re into that shit! Aren’t you supposed to be some sort of tough guy? I sure as fuck don’t see it since what happened last week! We lost because you’re an idiot and a dumbass! You clearly are an incompetent tag team partner because you could’ve stopped that pinfall from happening but what did you do uh? What Did You Do??
Kirk Redwood: I-
Jay Jerry Johnson: Didn’t do shit is what you did! That’s right! I saw the tape, I watched you just stand there and not do a damn thing while I got Killswitched by Lucas then Shane pulled that Ripcord crap on me!
Kirk Redwood: Last I checked, you pushed me off the apron.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Ha! Beautiful! He thinks I did it on purpose that’s lovely!
Kirk Redwood: And that’s a you problem, because if you had not done that, I would’ve ran in for the save; busted leg or not. I wanted to win this match and with or without your cooperation, I was going to do anything it took to make sure it happened.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Yeah yeah bullshit excuses that’s all it is Kirk! I’m telling you this right now I don’t feel bad AT ALL about what I did to you post-match because I had to let out some fucking steam and knocking you on your ass was the perfect way to get over the loss that YOU CAUSED! I’m even going to dare say it felt pretty damn good to lay you down with that cutter followed with the Jerry Special! I could’ve kept that hold on for hours if I really wanted to that’s how much applying to you felt after you cost me a match that was in the bag!
Kirk Redwood: I dare you to try to pull that stunt on me again.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Give me the opportunity and I’ll knock your lights clean off!
Kirk Redwood: Dream on squid, that ain’t happening now that I’m expecting it. You ain’t going to stab me in the back, you ain’t going to fool me twice.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Whatever asshat now either let go of me or I’m gonna stab you in the face, not the back!
( Kirk goes to throw a close fist punch square on the jaw of Jay who was just about to throw one of his own but suddenly a slew of officials emerges on the scene putting themselves between them and the two belligerents in a sudden emergence of cacophony. Both men throwing insults at each other while several officials are telling them to back of each other and keep it for later in the ring if a match ever happens between the two. Slowly the camera backs away from the commotion, and fades away from the area. )
(Voltage continues on with things headed backstage, the scene coming upon Sofia Clarke as she stands in the interview area with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face, knowing that they’re live and on-air!)
Sofia Clarke: Sunday Night Voltage is off to a great start and the anticipation for Territorial Invasion continues to grow! The excitement for this FPV is always at a high and the Elitists get just as into as the fans, seeing it as a way to declare their dominance or set themselves apart from the other rosters! Matches like the Stadium Stampede and Brand Warfare Match only add to all the excitement and the tribalism that surrounds the tri-branded clashes, and I’m sure that once Territorial Invasion does arrive, we’ll be seeing exactly why everyone gets so into the pandemonium! I’m not gonna lie, seeing how Team Voltage for Brand Warfare is going to turn out is something that’s got my interest right now, especially because of who I’ve got here with me! Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time: Jamie O’Hara!
(The crowd can be heard cheering in the background as the camera pans just as Jamie can be seen stepping into view, greeting Sofia with a smile and a wave upon taking a spot next to her.)
Sofia Clarke: Now Jamie, we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks how your team for the Brand Warfare Match at Territorial Invasion has come to shape up, so far consisting of yourself as the Team Captain, followed by Justin Windgate and Ryan Wilson. Obviously, there are still some spots left to take care of and given to some remaining Voltage Elitists that you’d expect to help bring Voltage such an ever-important victory. Could you possibly let us in on who you might have your eyes on as Territorial Invasion is fast approaching and how you expect any potential teammates to compliment the group you’ve already formed?
(Sofia tilts the microphone in Jamie’s direction as he seemingly considers how he wants to go about answering this question for a moment.)
Jamie O’Hara: I can say that I’ve definitely been watching some of the performances from the past few weeks following Bloodsport, and some people have caught my attention while others I decided wouldn’t exactly match up with what I’m looking to bring to the Brand Warfare Match. As everyone has come to know by now, I’ve had people approaching me and trying to convince me that they should have just been given a spot on the team as if they were going to smooth talk their way into being under my leadership. But they clearly forgot who they’re dealing with, because have I ever made it seem like I just go around trusting the word of just anyone? Acting like what people say is just ever enough to 100% guarantee anything? If that were the case, anyone and everyone who even considered trying to join my winning team would’ve ended up on it. If just anyone’s words were believable enough, if anyone’s words were enough to guarantee the results they’re trying to tell me are inevitable, then Ryan Wilson wouldn’t have taken years upon years upon years just to be able to say that he finally got his grimy hands on his first Championship. If things like that were the case, it wouldn’t be the big question that Amir Yusuf would hope it would be about if Jamie O’Hara can defeat him; what he’s got instead tonight is the question of whether or not he can even see his way to so much as a lone near-fall over me and have everyone questioning if that would be it. But people should know better by now, that the results I’m capable of aren’t tangible through hope and heart, dreaming and believing – it’s through knowing I’ve made myself the standard and knowing what’s undeniable, indisputable about what I’ve done to make it that way.
Jamie O’Hara: That’s how I can look at the team I’m assembling and know that it’s because of me that we’re out in front right out the gate, because of all that I’ve done to establish myself as the greatest and make it so that no matter how anyone wants to react to what I do, my reputation as being everything that so many sorry cunts who roam the backstage halls of any given EAW event want to be is practically incapable of being poked through. There’s a reason why if for some extraordinary reason Amir Yusuf were to win tonight that the entire Showdown team for Brand Warfare would lose their minds, jump for joy, look to him as the beacon of what’s possible for Territorial Invasion, and that’s not because they flat out trusted him to win but because they wanted to hope that he might provide some kind of insight into a crack in the armor, a chip in Voltage’s appointed leader knowing I’m the most accomplished for a reason. See, I’m assembling a team, sure, and some people might take offense to this while others try to use it as ammunition against myself and the rest of my team, but I’m sure enough in myself that I could’ve picked anyone and I’d still win with whoever my supporting cast is; that’s the confidence of a true leader. If I were as worried about the same things these other Team Captains are, concerned about things like Showdown’s hopefuls surely are about tonight, I wouldn’t have surrounded myself with Justin Windgate. And Justin Windgate is someone that I know will pull his weight, I know that someone like Justin will make sure that he doesn’t let up or relent for any reason. It goes without saying that a man who’s stepped into the alarming territory of a Chainsaw Deathmatch is more than prepared to go to war when called upon, and I honestly believe that he did great on Showdown the other night.
(But it’s here that Sofia begins to sport a confused expression, concerned almost as she pulls the microphone away and Jamie can’t help but notice. He crosses his arms in anticipation of what she might have to say and Sofia begins to question him after a moment of consideration on her own part.)
Sofia Clarke: Believe me, Jamie, it goes without saying that you’re someone that EAW Universe will absolutely get behind and trust to be able to get the job done in any situation that you step into. But-
Jamie O’Hara: But?
Sofia Clarke: Well… you speak so highly of Justin Windgate, and the performances that he’ll be remembered for are nothing short of spectacular and mind-blowing, but when hearing all the praise you send his way… it makes me wonder why you’d allow Ryan Wilson to join the team. After all, you’ve made it quite clear that he’s not someone that you think so highly of. Not to suggest that it’s a decision that’ll come back to bite Voltage in Brand Warfare, I’m sure Ryan will want to do his part for everyone to succeed, but I’m sure so many people are wondering why you’d be willing to put him on the team when you’re so clearly at odds.
(Sofia leans the microphone back in Jamie’s direction, and Jamie can only roll his eyes in response. The topic of Ryan Wilson is something that he clearly has no interest in discussing, even bringing up the New Breed Champion has seemingly managed to nearly ruin the whole vibe that Jamie had initially come into the interview with. It’s honestly a shock that he doesn’t just excuse himself from the whole thing right then and there.)
Jamie O’Hara: Next question please. We can get on talking about something else.
???: Actually, no. I think you need to get this sorted out right here, right now.
(Sofia looks surprised by the interruption while Jamie closes his eyes and takes an audible inhale as coming into the scene is the New Breed Champion himself, Ryan Wilson! The audience can be heard booing as a confused and so blatantly offended Ryan approaches Voltage’s Team Captain, the New Breed Championship over his shoulder as he shakes his head in confused disbelief. Sofia aims the microphone at him as she stands between them, waving it back and forth for whenever either of them speaks.)
Ryan Wilson: Honestly, Jamie, I think if we’re supposed to work on the same team then you and I are going to have to have a talk. I honestly don’t know why you’re acting like this toward me, and you have been for weeks now, but all this hostility is just so unnecessary-
Jamie O’Hara: Oh, so suddenly you don’t know? How quick you are to forget, Ryan :mjpls: Is it just that you’d rather try to wash your hands of all the wrongdoing you did during your time as Showdown General Manager? Because I’m sure you’d love to have everyone forget that, move on like it never happened; kind of like how you just seemingly expect me to just gloss over the fact that you villainized me for wanting to take care of my son, that you said “fuck Jamie’s family”, that said that you hoped I’d be retired only for you to be ready to fucking grovel at my feet JUST to be on the Brand Warfare team.
Ryan Wilson: Actually, I don’t think we need to get into all of that right now; it’s a lot to unpack between you and me, and we have much more important matters to discuss rather than last Season’s drama that I would hope we could put behind us for Brand Warfare! 😅 But honestly, Jamie, I want to be on this team and I want this team to succeed – Showdown got its share of criticism with me at the helm but I’m fully behind wanting Voltage to succeed at Territorial Invasion in whatever way we’re going to have to get that done! I made it known that I want everyone to understand that I’m only doing everything to elevate this Championship, and if I can do that on the winning team – even while kicking Amir Yusuf’s ass around the ring just ahead of Clash of Kingdoms – then that’s even better!
(Ryan nods his head reassuringly with a grin that’s obviously meant to convince Jamie that he shouldn’t expect any issues from having Ryan on his team, and Sofia can be seen nodding in agreement, but Jamie scoffs and shakes his head, completely and so obviously unimpressed.)
Jamie O’Hara: So, it’s about you wanting to kick the shit out of Amir, right? Nice ulterior motive there, Ryan, I’m sure not even Amir could’ve seen that one coming.
Ryan Wilson: It’s not just about Amir and it’s not an ulterior motive, Jamie; I really do want Team Voltage to win and I want to do everything to ensure that! I’m not putting myself ahead of the team or you, but I can’t deny that this is going to be a big opportunity for me as the New Breed Champion and of course, I want to be successful. Being successful though is something we can do together as a team-
Jamie O’Hara: In case you didn’t overhear the earlier part of my interview while you were lurking and doing whatever, obviously having known better in that moment than to invade on my time despite making an ass out of yourself going against your better judgement week after week before tonight – I don’t really need you, Ryan. You got the job done against, Mary, and yes that meant you got to be on the team, but that didn’t mean that you’d be the critical asset that you’re so clearly hoping you prove yourself to be. Like I said, you’re just the supporting cast to all of this and someone that can expect to get himself carried to a victory, even if you don’t deserve it for being who you are.
Ryan Wilson: Okay, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself-
Jamie O’Hara: Oh, I’m the one getting ahead of myself?! Says the guy who wouldn’t shut the hell up, stay out of my business, and then proceeded to spend weeks making yourself out to be someone I should ever respect.
Ryan Wilson: I’m not going to apologize or feel bad about how I pushed for this chance, Jamie, because I know what I can bring to the table. You and some others might want to disagree but I just simply wasn’t going to be denied my moment to shine-
Jamie O’Hara: And you were shining perfectly when you were going to do what you were about to do last week: beg for a handout from someone who you know is your superior in every way imaginable. You’re lucky I stopped you when I did; getting bombarded on social media with replays of you begging and pleading to be recognized for something more than you’re worth is the last thing you need.
Ryan Wilson: What I need is for us to be on the same page; I only want this to work out properly.
(Jamie rolls his eyes, so clearly over the situation and Ryan’s pleads for understanding. In Jamie’s mind, this whole conversation with him couldn’t be any more unnecessary.)
Jamie O’Hara: What you really need is a knee in the face. 🙄
Sofia Clarke: :lupe:
???: Jamie, man, are you hearing yourself right now?
(It’s Ryan’s turn to roll his eyes in annoyance as coming into view is Chris Elite, standing beside Jamie and across from Ryan, who doesn’t look pleased to see Chris. But Chris more so focused on Jamie, annoyed and confused.)
Chris Elite: You’re doing all this back and forth with this bitch over here, clearly not wanting shit to do with him at all, but you can’t even just pick me?! What the fuck?! Ryan Wilson is irritating and a bum, literally bringing down the value of the New Breed Title every week and you know it, but you can’t even ask me to be on the team?!
Jamie O’Hara: Chris, I already told you a few weeks ago what to do if you wanted to be on the team-
Chris Elite: Yeah, I heard you and it’s still bullshit you wanted to tell me that I had to earn my spot like we didn’t go out and win the very same night in a fucking TAG TEAM MATCH!
Jamie O’Hara: ….Against Lucas Johnson and Shane Gates. You really want to hang your hat on that one? :mjpls:
Ryan Wilson: :mjlol:!!
Chris Elite: Stop laughing, Ryan, you’d be right with them if you didn’t get lucky with that New Breed Championship. But Jamie, stop playing. No, I’m not trying to say that that should be what put me on the team but everyone knows I’m reliable for shit like this! You and me were literally on the same War Games team a few years ago – yeah, we lost that one, but are you really gonna stand there and act like I wasn’t one of the main ones bringing it all and nothing less?! I already told you about last Season’s Brand Warfare Match and how my performance that night was the most talked about thing from that match, so it shouldn’t be some question anymore about any of this shit. Yet this is still going on when I just got a win over Myles and Minerva just the other week?! I should be on the Brand Warfare team already!
Jamie O’Hara: Does that last one count seeing as how Team Dynasty showed up to help you – AND Justin, since you conveniently left him out – beat Myles and Minerva? :francis:
(Chris shakes his head, frustrated with what he’s hearing because Jamie still isn’t budging on changing his mind. Chris obviously wants to be on the team but clearly, there’s going to be no exceptions getting made for anyone in particular. He points at Ryan, who merely watches on with Sofia.)
Chris Elite: This shit is making no sense! You’re really about to team with this bozo and let him on the team, but bro, I’m your actual partner, damn!
Ryan Wilson: It actually makes plenty of sense, Chris, because I earned my spot and did it with no problem when it came down to it.
Chris Elite: Keep talking and you’re gonna have a problem.
Sofia Clarke: :headout:
(Sofia wants no part of this anymore and carefully makes her way around Ryan to make her way off the interview set while Chris and Ryan begin to argue, Jamie watching on with an amused grin as they argue. However, Sofia passes the approaching Justin Windgate as she exits, but Justin’s entry isn’t welcomed by Chris at all.)
Chris Elite: And even him?! You’ll be lucky if he doesn’t show up to Territorial Invasion high out his fucking mind! You think he’s gonna be someone that helps you get that win when it comes down to it? Nothing but a liability, because I could swear I saw him spacing out in the match last week; I might as well have been out there all on my own!
Justin Windgate: I literally just got here and you’re already starting shit? :wtf: You can try to sell yourself and make yourself out to be someone that’s reliable, Chris, but you can do that without trying to drag me down for no reason. Clearly, Jamie understands I’m bringing something to all this that you just aren’t seeing as how he hasn’t even picked you yet to be on the team. If Ryan can earn his way onto the team, then why can’t you, Chris?
Ryan Wilson: Yeah, Chris, why can’t you? Having to work for something and not get it handed to you has you that scared? Finding out you can’t coast on your past accomplishments anymore must be so frightening for you!
Chris Elite: At this point, this has gotta be some kind of fucking joke! Y’all are out your minds talking to me like this! Because seriously, what the hell are either of you bringing to the team that I can’t and know damn well that I could way better?! Ryan, you’re talking a whole lot of slick shit for someone who’s only just won their first Championship even though you’ve been running around here longer than over half the EAW roster; I’ve been working on levels you don’t know shit about. And Justin, you’re just some cac whose whole personality is getting high. The fuck kind of team you throwing together here, Jamie? You wanna lose?! Because it sure looks like it if you don’t throw me on the team right now!
Justin Windgate: “ThRoW mE oN tHe TeAm RiGhT nOw!” Do you hear yourself? You expect to just get something because you demanded it and it’s not gonna work that way, hate to be the one to tell you, Chris. I won’t say you aren’t talented or anything like that, that you wouldn’t push yourself, but clearly, you have to do something more than what you’ve been doing otherwise Jamie would’ve already had you on this team. I’m not gonna speak for Ryan, but as far as I go, questioning me being on the team isn’t something that should even be happening. Everyone saw what I was more than willing to put myself through at Bloodsport against Drake King and if I was in the position that Jamie is as Team Captain, I’d be looking at the guy who did all that to add onto my team too. How far I’ll go, what I’ll do to push myself to get not just myself but this team this victory at Territorial Invasion, are all things I’ve got no problem going above and beyond for; I know it’s not just about me but the whole team.
(Chris and Justin continue to argue, Chris at times dragging Ryan’s name into it and Ryan of course defends himself as Chris continues to question their spots on the team while he’s been left out of the match entirely. Jamie stands just behind them, still not looking anymore convinced about the arguments getting made and looks ready to leave as the squabbling just in front of him continues.)
???: BORK!
Chris Elite: And you’re a BITCH, Ryan!
??? BORK!
Ryan WIlson: You’re just mad because you’re not the team. Cry harder.
Chris Elite: Keep it up and you won’t even make it to Territorial Invasion!
???: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Justin Windgate: Yeah, because threatening members on the team is just SUCH a great way to get your spot 🙄
???: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
Chris Elite: Justin, nobody even asked- WILL SOMEONE SHUT THAT DUMB DOG UP?! DAMN!
(Everyone’s attention turns away from each other and onto the entering Josh, the dog walking up to the group and they all only look even more annoyed as Jake Smith isn’t far behind. Jake comes following up behind Josh with a smug grin, as it’s clear that none of them want to be in his immediate vicinity.)
Chris Elite: And what the hell do you-
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: What was that? You’re gonna need to speak up.
Chris Elite: I said-
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: HUH?!
Chris Elite: I-
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: :mjgrin:
Chris Elite: Is he done? :wtf:
Jake Smith: Pretty sure it had to be code that anything you had to say wasn’t unnecessary.
Chris Elite: Leave it to you to know what a bitch is saying :mjpls:
Jake Smith: :mjpls: You’re lucky I’m not here for you.
Justin Windgate: Then what do you want? It’s not like anyone called you over or invited you.
Jake Smith: Actually, I heard Ryan Wilson’s whiny complaining and annoying shouting, so I just knew I had to come over here and remind him that he won’t be so loud and obnoxious after I kick his ass tonight in our match.
Ryan Wilson: You’re gonna kick my ass? That’s laughable.
Jake Smith: Is it? Because that New Breed Championship hasn’t done your undeserved ego any favors and all this unwarranted confidence is gonna come crashing down the second you get into the ring with me, where you’ll find out exactly why you’re someone who’s not cut out to be Champion. I mean, you’re not even cut out to be on the Brand Warfare team and everyone knows that – hell, even Jamie himself knows it but he’s letting you on the team anyway – but more importantly, you’re gonna know that with or without that New Breed Championship, you’re still not shit compared to me. You were trash before this Championship reign and you’re gonna be seen as trash after it’s over, and we can all only hope it ends sooner rather than later.
Ryan Wilson: This is exactly the kind of attitude that got your traded off my show-
Jake Smith: And for the better! You were awful then and you’re awful now, even while you’re not even in charge, which just goes to show just how your whole team for Brand Warfare isn’t shit, Jamie. Ryan Wilson’s name speaks for itself, but to go and throw Justin Windgate on the team, too? I mean, you’re missing actual talent from the whole thing!
(Jamie finally speaks up for the first time in a while, looking at Jake and not at all being impressed with him.)
Jamie O’Hara: And what would you know? :mjpls:
Justin Windgate: I’d love to hear this too :mjpls:
Chris Elite: He’s clearly talking about me, Jamie, so just go ahead and announce me as the newest member!
Jake Smith: :wtf: No, I wasn’t talking about you, Chris. I was talking about me, the next EAW World Champion.
Jamie O’Hara: ….
Chris Elite: ….
Justin Windgate: ….
Ryan Wilson: ….
(Silence comes over the group while Jake stands there smirking, sure of himself and arrogant about announcing himself as the next EAW World Champion.)
Ryan Wilson: :mjlol:!!!!!!!
Justin Windgate: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Elite: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamie O’Hara: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Jake can’t believe they’re all laughing at him, clearly embarrassing him and he’s almost at a loss for words, but thankfully he has Josh there to make up for it with his “BORK! BORK! BORK!” barking, but it does absolutely nothing to keep Chris and Jamie from laughing even more.)
Jake Smith: I don’t know what the hell’s supposed to be so funny; it’s true!
Jamie O’Hara: No. Right. Yeah. Sure it is.
Chris Elite: Absolutely.
Justin Windgate: Nothing funny about it.
Jamie O’Hara: …..
Chris Elite: ….
Justin Windgate: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Elite: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamie O’Hara: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Smith: :wtf: You’re laughing but I’m dead serious. When I’m becoming the new EAW World Champion, it’s not going to be so funny then when I’m proving you all wrong and I’m standing at the forefront of this company as the face of EAW. You’ll be the ones looking like assholes for not believing me because I’ll be on top of everything, I’ll be the one that everyone’s looking to when I’m the one that has that Championship in my grasp. It’s never been a question of “if” I could be a World Champion but a matter of “when”, and that time soon. I’ll be the one that’s seen as the top talent on Voltage, in all of EAW, and I’m so sure of that, I’ll say right now that I can beat anyone on Voltage’s Brand Warfare team made up of people I’ll be reigning over on what’ll be my brand.
Chris Elite: Man, you’ve already lost to me and Jamie this Season as it is. I don’t need to waste my time embarrassing you just for the sake of embarrassing you.
Jamie O’Hara: And I’ve already got a match tonight, so.
Ryan Wilson: They might be seeing you as a waste of their time, but I’m the one that has you in a match tonight, Jake, and I’ll be damned if I let you beat me. Nobody wants to take me seriously and you think that you can just come over here, talking a bunch of delusional nonsense of how you think you’ll actually become the EAW World Champion, but you’re not going to make that example out of me. I’m the New Breed Champion for a reason and I’m on the Brand Warfare team for a reason – the team that Jamie has people lining up to join but they can’t even get in – but tonight, I’m going to prove once again why I’m exactly where I need to be: as the New Breed Champion and on Team Voltage.
Jake Smith: Yeah, on a team no one even wants you to be on, you sure showed me. :mjlol:!!
Ryan Wilson: You’re the one running around here talking about becoming EAW World Champion when you’re not even close to being ready for something like that; who’s really delusional here? :mjpls:
Jake Smith: Who the hell are you to question me about something like that? You barely made it past Mary the other week and you get an ego like this? If anything, you’d just bring the team down; Jamie would be better off kicking you off the team and adding me at this point. But since he seems so determined to lose-
Jamie O’Hara: Now wait just a second.
(Attention from everyone goes to Jamie, who’s wearing a scheming grin while he’s got everyone looking at him.)
Jamie O’Hara: If you’re so sure, Jake, then I’ll say if you can beat Ryan tonight then you can have the fourth spot on Team Voltage for Brand Warfare.
(Jake shrugs his shoulders, accepting the challenge, but just before Ryan can get another word in, Chris shoves him away to stand properly in front of Jamie.)
Chris Elite: Shittin’ me. No WAY you’re gonna let him get the fourth spot and still not even have me on the team?! What kind of fuck shit is this, for real?! I’m fed the fuck up with you playing these games, Jamie, because you see me in your face right here and you don’t even have me on the team. But you’ll go ahead and offer a spot to Shorty fuckin’ Jake Smith?! He’s gotta be like 5-foot-5!
Jake Smith: :comeagain:
(Jamie rolls his eyes and waves his hand dismissively at Chris, not caring for his complaining anymore.)
Jamie O’Hara: Alright, alright, calm the hell down about it already. I’ve heard the last twenty other times you were in my damn ear about this.
Chris Elite: Great! So I’m on the team now, finally?
Jamie O’Hara: Sure…. but that’s only if Jake Smith can beat Ryan Wilson tonight, and only then will you be added onto the team as well.
Chris Elite: :comeagain:
Jamie O’Hara: Have fun placing your fate in Shorty fuckin’ Jake’s hands! 😀
(Before Chris can even try to argue, Jamie spins on his heel and exits, his laughter being heard on the way out before it eventually fades away the farther he gets away from the interview set. Left there are Jake, Chris, Ryan, and Justin, with Josh looking on. Justin looks from Chris to Jake to Ryan, the three of them looking back at him.)
Justin Windgate: :mjlol:!!!!!!
(Justin walks off, still laughing while the other three Elitists are left to themselves and Ryan looks to Chris and Jake, the New Breed Champion wearing a smug smirk knowing that he could very well force Chris to find another way to make it onto Territorial Invasion. Without a word, Ryan walks away while Chris watches on, shaking his head before Chris shoves Jake’s shoulder, getting in his face!)
Chris Elite: You better not fuck this up for me. I mean it. Get me on the fucking team.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK! BORK!
Chris Elite: SHUT UP! DAMN!
(Chris bumps past Jake and walks away, complaining about Jamie setting him up like this while Jake looks down to Josh, shrugging his shoulders and rolling his eyes as the scene fades out.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for the match between Jake Smith and Ryan Wilson later tonight, as if Jake wins both he and Chris Elite are on the Brand Warfare team.)
(The camera switches to Shane Gates in the locker room getting ready for his tag team match later tonight as he watches Lucas Johnson come into the locker room. Shane’s face immediately turns to a look of disgust.)
Shane Gates: What the fuck do you want? Isn’t it enough that we have to tag again tonight?
Lucas Johnson: Damn, Shane, I’m not here to fight you or be an asshole to you right now.
Shane Gates: Oh really? Then what the fuck are you here for?
Lucas Johnson: I guess you can say I’m here to extend an olive branch to you so to speak?
Shane Gates: What the hell are you talking about?
(Lucas sighs before continuing.)
Lucas Johnson: Look, after the last few weeks, I have come to accept the fact that we are now being looked at as a tag team now. I’ll be honest with you, seeing the success we had last week really gave me a little bit of hope we could actually be a successful tag team.
(Shane gives Lucas a very skeptical look as he listens to what he has to say.)
Shane Gates: It makes me a little sick to admit this, but I agree with you. It does seem that the Voltage higher-ups are deciding to move us both forward in the tag team division. Even though we did come up a little short in the first round of the Tag Team Turmoil Tournament.
(Shane tries to continue talking, but he gets cut off by Lucas.)
Lucas Johnson: Before this conversation goes any further, let me tell you this. I don’t like you. I mean I REALLY don’t like you. I also don’t trust you at all, either.
Shane Gates: No shit. Same here. You’re not exactly my best friend around here either. Some days I can barely stand to look at your face.
Lucas Johnson: …But. I think the best thing for both of us would be to put all the differences we have aside to just see what exactly we can do as a tag team.
(Lucas extends his hand for Shane to shake.)
Lucas Johnson: What do you think? Are you willing to give it a try?
(Shane looks at the hand before looking at Lucas before looking back at the hand before relenting and shaking Lucas’ hand.)
Shane Gate: Yeah, why not? I’ll give it a try.
???: Awww. You gotta love those Hallmark movie quality happy endings. I’m happy for you guys.
(Shane and Lucas look around to see who said that before Donovan Duke, Kirk Redwood, and Alex Myers come into the locker room.)
Lucas Johnson: Oh shut up! What the hell do you three want?
(Donovan puts his hands up trying to keep the peace.)
Donovan Duke: Woah woah woah! Calm down. I was just kidding. No need to get a burr under your saddle. We come in peace. Look guys, we’re not here to cause any trouble or start any fights with you two. But we are here for a purpose.
(Shane and Lucas look at Donovan for a second wondering what he has to say.)
Donovan Duke: I’m not gonna lie. Seeing you two as a tag team is a very odd combination, but then again, you could say the same thing about the three of us. Three competitors from three different walks of life…or maybe death for some of us…coming together for one common reason. What exactly is that reason you may ask? Simple. Divide and Conquer.
(Donovan pauses for a moment before he continues.)
Donovan Duke: Shane. Lucas. I know how it feels to be in the ring with both of you, especially since you both came gunnin’ after my contract last month. I didn’t like how you two made me the target of your aggressions, but since I’ve already proven my point in regards to Bloodsport, I can appreciate the tenacity the two of you have.
Shane Gates: So what? What the fuck’s your point, Duke?
Donovan Duke: Will you give me a second? Geez. I was just getting to that. What I was trying to say was that the reason I came looking for you guys was for a proposition.
Lucas Johnson: Proposition? What kind of proposition?
Donovan Duke: As I mentioned earlier, the three of us are representing Voltage in the Men’s Divide and Conquer match at Territorial Invasion. After talking with the other two members of the team, I’m here to offer you two the final two spots on the Voltage Divide and Conquer team.
(Shane and Lucas look at Donovan, Alex, and Kirk wondering what the hell is going on.)
Shane Gates: Team with you three? Are you fucking joking with us right now? Why in the hell should I? Redwood’s a loser, Myers has some sick obsession with my dad, and you’re a misogynist.
(Alex and Kirk don’t look happy about those remarks, but Donovan keeps a cool head. Figuring that this might happen.)
Donovan Duke: Come on, I’ve already told you that those remarks about me weren’t true. Think about it, Shane. You don’t like any of us, I get it. Shit, do any of us really like each other? That’s not the point.
Lucas Johnson: What exactly is the point?
Donovan Duke: The point is that if you two can put aside your differences to explore your possibilities as a tag team, you two could also put aside your differences with us long enough to show the world that the rising stars of Voltage are much better than anything Showdown or Dynasty can come up with. Besides, you both drive me absolutely insane. But if I didn’t think you guys would bring any kind of positive points to this team, would I even be here right now offering you guys this chance?
(Lucas and Shane shrug, considering Donovan’s point.)
Donovan Duke: I know you two are always looking for opportunities to cause pain and agony. At Territorial Invasion, you will get the chance to annihilate five members of the opposing team. Do you guys want another chance at getting an FPV victory? Do you guys wanna put your newfound solidarity to the test? Here you go! I think that we could absolutely do it. As long as we are able to at least tolerate each other until after we win the match. So how about it? Does Voltage have their final team members?
(Lucas and Shane look at Donovan before looking at themselves thinking about the offer before turning back to Donovan with the decision.)
Lucas Johnson: You have your final two team members, Duke. We don’t like you, but even we can tolerate you guys long enough to cause hell and show Dynasty and Showdown what pain really looks like.
Donovan Duke: I appreciate the sentiment, but welcome to the team, guys. Showdown and Dynasty aren’t going to have a damn clue what hit them when we get done with them.
(The five men talk about the match a little bit amongst themselves before Shane and Lucas leave the locker room to get ready for their tag team match later tonight. After they leave, Alex turns and looks at Donovan.)
Alex Myers: Now hold on a second. Who in the hell died and decided to make you the team captain?
Donovan Duke: Isn’t it obvious? Alex, we want to bring Voltage home as many victories as possible at Territorial Invasion and I’m the one who can lead this oddball team to victory. Plus, I can actually talk and negotiate with people without them calling me a dumbass or a crybaby. Would you have been able to convince Shane and Lucas to join the team? I doubt that!
Alex Myers: First off, shut your mouth! Second, I still don’t think you should be the captain.
Donovan Duke: Oh and who do you think should be the captain? You? Forget it, piranha bait! You couldn’t keep a straight head after your loss at Bloodsport. What the hell makes you think that you can lead four other people into battle? Shit, you can barely handle yourself.
Alex Myers: Do you want to go there? I told you that you would lose to Ximena last week and look what happened. I at least took Drake King to his limits last week. That right there should be enough to move you out and move me in.
Donovan Duke: You are a delusional little asshole. I should knock your teeth out for that! Where the hell do you get off making jokes and smartass comments about my defeats when you go on social media and act like a big whine baby!
(Donovan and Alex continue to argue for a moment before Kirk finally has enough and steps in between them to break it up.)
Kirk Redwood: Hold on you two! Break it up! All this arguing isn’t going to get this team anywhere. This is exactly what the other team wants to see happen. They want to see us fall apart before the bell even rings so they think they can walk all over us. Neither of you are going to want to hear what I’m about to say, but it needs to be said.
(Donovan and Alex stop and look at Kirk intrigued at what he is about to say next.)
Kirk Redwood: If you two keep fighting the way you are now, we are going to get destroyed. If we want to win the Divide and Conquer Match at Territorial Invasion against Showdown and Dynasty, we have to get on the same page and we have to work as a TEAM!
(Donovan keeps looking at Kirk for a second before he sighs.)
Kirk Redwood: Come on, Donovan. I know you guys don’t like each other, but I know you hate losing more. Would you be willing to accept some sort of truce long enough for us to win at Territorial Invasion?
(Donovan takes a deep breath
Donovan Duke: There’s no point in arguing. Kirk, I really hate to admit this since it involves this little jackoff right here, but you are right. We do need to start working together if we want to have any shot at winning. I’m willing to put aside my annoyance and differences long enough that we can show Dynasty and Showdown who’s boss. What about you?
(Donovan and Kirk turn and look at Alex.)
Kirk Redwood: So what do you say, Alex?
Alex Myers: Yeah I’m gonna disagree with you on that. The street fighter being the peacekeeper. That’s hilarious. As heartfelt and encouraging as that was, this whole working together thing isn’t exactly my style. I’m not really in a team spirit type of mood. So you two can work on all that team building crap all you want, but I’m out of here.
(Alex walks out of the locker room as Kirk and Donovan watch them leave before Donovan turns to look at Kirk.)
Donovan Duke: You know, you could have let me punch them in the face before the inspirational pep talk. I give you an A for effort, though.
Kirk Redwood: Do they have to be such an ass?
(Donovan crosses his arms and looks to the ceiling as he thinks about how stubborn Alex is being.)
Donovan Duke: You think with all the whining they’ve done about wanting to break out of a downward spiral, they would be a little more accepting. Guess not. I had a feeling something crawled up their butt, but I didn’t know it DIED UP THERE!
(Donovan shakes his head in annoyance before continuing to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Easy Tiger! I don’t know about you, but I think we have a lot of work ahead of us in the next few weeks.
(Donovan rolls his eyes as he and Kirk leave the locker room as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Suddenly “UnFazed” by Lil Uzi Vert ft. The Weeknd starts to play throughout the arena as the fans boo loudly. Ashley Flores walks out in her street clothes, minding her own business and heading to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAY INTRODUCE AT THIS TIME, SHOWDOWN’S OWN…. ASHLEY FLORES!!!
(Ashley slides into the ring and yanks the mic from Bella Braxton, who quickly leaves the ring.)
James Peters: Ashley Flores here from Showdown and I am sure she is going to speak about Clash of Kingdoms, and what happened on the Blue Brand last week.
Rich Russillo: She was not well receiving the opportunity given to her by Hurricane Hawk that is for sure, but we saw she had some demands.
Persephone: Great, more Showdown trash, we already have the Good Doctor commentating later tonight with us, isn’t that enough?
(As the crowd continues to boo, her theme music dies down, Ashley looks around for a moment with a smirk before speaking….)
Ashley Flores: Last week, after basically spitting in Hurricane Hawk’s face when he offered me a chance to compete overseas in a women’s exhibition match, I looked at him like he was crazy, there was no fucking way I was going to do that, so I demanded that he put money on the line because I will be damned If I do it for whatever it is we get paid just for showing up in the middle east. Now besides gracing you here on Voltage with my presence, I heard the woman that was at fault for me losing to Betty at Pain For Pride runs her mouth, you know the bitch I beat the ever-living shit out of unconscious in her home state!?
(The crowd continues to boo as she cracks a smirk…)
Ashley Flores: I really thought I was over her but no, I heard what Candice Blair Ava had to say. I get it, the prima donna, resident activist in the EAW was obviously disgusted by this because when her commissioner, El Capitan presented the opportunity to her, she saw it as a chance to give hope to the women and girls over there who are about to suffer from the Taliban rule. Bitch we are not wrestling in Afghanistan, but her bleeding liberal heart continued and feels like women in the middle east have been oppressed for years, yada yada yada… ok whatever, I don’t live there and yes, it is corrupt as fuck! Candie, get over yourself, seriously, that is why I decided to come here. I’m calling you out Candie, get your pretty obnoxious ass out here right now!
(Ashley waits for a moment before “Diva” by Beyonce plays throughout the arena. Candice walks out and she doesn’t look very happy, coming out with purpose, stepping into the ring after grabbing a mic.)
James Peters: And here she is, Candice Blair Ava has heard enough and has come out to defend her stance.
Rich Russillo: She doesn’t look happy at all!
Persephone: Oh, here we go, this is going to last a lot longer than I had hoped.
(Candice walks up to Ashley, who pie faces her.)
Ashley Flores: NO! Before you even speak, you are the biggest hypocrite in this damn company, Candie! You are such an attention whore! Always doing this for fame and that’s it! You don’t care about the wrestling, this sport means nothing to you, it is a platform so you can run your mouth about world issues and your stupid activists crap! You make me sick, and trying to make me look like the bad gal here!? Because you want to be some snarky, run of the mill, speaking and not acting shit all the time!? Stay in YOUR lane!
Candice Blair Ava: ENOUGH!
(Candice yells at Ashley which even startles her…)
Candice Blair Ava: You just showed everyone exactly what you are, Ashley, a cash-grubbing hoarder that doesn’t care about the treatment of women in the world, US! Are you being serious right now? You want to call all this “blood money” but in reality we have a chance to inspire change in parts of the world that look down on us and that doesn’t bother you!? To say that all you want to do is get paid for an appearance and a match when it is so much more than that but an opportunity to show them how women are NOT second-class citizens and can be so empowered to do what is right and show them that we can do the same things as men even better!? You should be ashamed of yourself for being a disgrace to women all over the world!
(The crowd roars in cheers…)
Ashley Flores: Hold on bitch! You want to address me? When at Pain for Pride you tried to make that Specialists Triple Threat about you and those shitty singing skills!? All you cared about was that stupid performance and nothing else! I bet you were more nervous about singing and looking good in your fake fur than you were about the actual match because when I beat your ass out cold, I should have been the champion and not Betty! Candie, don’t you ever come preaching to me about your holier than thou stance on world views, I am here to make money and not friends!
Candice Blair Ava: Obviously! You know, I really thought after watching you come out to help TLA against Charlie Marr and Veena Adams, two poor excuses for human beings, that maybe you turned the corner and started to realize that being a whiny bitch wasn’t getting you anywhere and “Betty” beat your ass at Midsummer Massacre, but noooo, then you come out with this? I should have known Ashley is no better than people like Marr and Adams, that you don’t even care about anyone but yourself!
(Ashley shakes her head, even chuckling a little before getting right up to Candice face…)
Ashley Flores: I am not here at the beckon call of anyone, Candie. They want me to wrestle over in the Middle East? Then they are going to pay me compensation for traveling over there to that part of the world and as for the rest of the women? They are not my problem, but obviously they are yours so good luck with changing the world, you’ll be forgotten in a year anyway. Damn I’m good.
Candice Blair Ava: You’re not, though.
Ashley Flores: I guess we’ll find out in Kuwait when I snatch that blood money prize for myself.
Candice Blair Ava: It’s not even about that thou….
(But before she could finish Ashley hits Candice with a right hook that absolutely floors Candice, knocking her out. Ashley smirks and leaves the ring quickly making her way up the ramp as “UnFazed” by Lil Uzi Vert ft. The Weeknd start to play throughout the arena. The fans boo as several officials come down to the ring to check on Candice.)
James Peters: Ashley Flores with a sucker punch on Candice Blair Ava! She brought up some great points, but Ashley wasn’t hearing any of it!
Rich Russillo: She is going to pay for that at Clash of Kingdom’s II, guaranteed.
Persephone: Oh wah! Candice has a little booboo…. Whatever, I hate both of them.
(Ashley continues to walk back, looking at Candice, who is being attended to. Needless to say, Clash of Kingdom’s exhibition match certainly took a rather personal turn.)
(Commercial for EAW 2k22, coming soon.)
(‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G. hits, and the Voltage crowd immediately begins booing as loud as they can as a focused Lucas Johnson begins walking out to the stage. Lucas Johnson looks like he’s ready for this match.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Long Island, New York. Weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Blueprint; LLUUUUUCCAAAAAAAS JOOOOOOOHNNNSSOOON!!!!!
(‘Swallowing the Rabbit Whole’ by Code Orange then follows, and the booing continues as Shane Gates walks out to the stage. Shane Gates slowly makes his way down to the ring as the booing continues, not paying attention at all to the reaction from the fans.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner! From Huntington Beach, California. Weighing in at 213 pounds; SHAAAAAANNNEEE GAAAAAAAAATTTESSS!!!!!
James Peters: Here is a team that seems to be on a roll ironically since they lost in the Tournament’s first round.
Rich Russillo: A team no one expected to stick around yet they seemingly look like they work well together, tonight they are looking to add another win to their tally!
Persephone: Yeah like what just a second win? Come on guys this is Lucas and Shane we’re talking about here.
( ‘Taste (Make It Shake)’ by Aitch plays over the sound system of the arena as the Vixen of Ultraviolence makes her way to the ring to a mild reaction from the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: And Their Opponents! Introducing first! From London, England but residing in Hokkaido, Japan. Weighing in at 123 pounds. She is the Gaijin Goddess; REBECCAAAAAAAAA BLACKWEEEEEEEEEEELL!!!!
( ‘Nothing Helps’ by One Ok Rock replaces Rebecca’s theme over the speakers and the crowd is with positive reactions as Mary makes her way to the ring. She looks to her partner for the night and then to his opponents looking ready. )
Bella Braxton: And her tag team partner! From St-Louis, Missouri. Weighing in at 125 pounds. She is MOST WANTED; MARRRYYYYYY S. ATLAAAAAAAS!!!!
Rich Russillo: A surprising team one that just like their opponent is looking to gain ground and traction!
James Peters: I like to see teams that stay together no matter what happens during the Tournament. It’s good for the tag team division as a whole
Persephone: Zzzzzzzz…
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Mary S. Atlas and Lucas Johnson are the first to cross paths in this tag team match tonight as their partners are looking on on the apron to the outside of the ring! Mary looks to Lucas smiling almost smirking with pure confidence as Lucas is looking unimpressed by the smile of his opponent before locking up with her in the middle of the ring! Mary picks Lucas into a headlock manoeuvering him into the ropes then whips him into the opposite ropes, Mary is waiting for Lucas WHO DUCKS UNDER MARY’S ARM AS SHE TRIED A CLOTHESLINE AND ATTEMPTS THE BLUEPRINT! AN RKO RIGHT OFF THE BAT BY LUCAS BUT MARY BLOCKS AND GOES FOR A REVERSE CUTTER! SHE GOT LUCAS AT HIS OWN GAME!! DOWN THEY GO! MARY TRIES A COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: Damn I thought it would end quickly! Shit!
Rich Russillo: A smart attempt by Lucas Johnson but a smarter counter by Mary S. Atlas!
James Peters: Mary goes to her knees before getting up to her feet then drops quickly to her knees driving them in the midsection of Lucas She picks him up! SHE PULLS HIM IN AND CONNECTS WITH A QUICKLY EXECUTES SNAP SUPLEX! Lucas is rather quick to get back up as Mary Irish whips him into the corner. Atlas charges for a corner clothesline BUT LUCAS SIDE STEPS AND SLIDES BEHIND MARY! HE THROWS IN AN ELBOW TO HER BACK BEFORE GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: Mary gets to her knees and Lucas goes to him. MARY DASHES UPWARD AND THROES IN A RUNNING RUNNING ENZUIGIRI! JUST AS IT’S ABOUT TO HIT, LUCAS BENDS HIS HEAD DOWN! Lucas sits back up as Mary tries to recover from that missed Enzuigiri attempt. Mary charges back at Lucas but he takes her down with a quick arm drag! Mary goes down and Lucas continues to apply pressure to her arm. Mary pulls herself up and uses her free hand to fire shots, quick palm strikes at Johnson to rock him! Lucas falls back as he lets go of his hold THEN CHARGES WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! A running forearm connects as Mary knocks Lucas back once more!!! Johnson takes shelter in the corner trying to find some time to recover from the attack!
James Peters: Mary runs towards the corner at Lucas… BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEEEEX!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER AND TAKES DOWN MARY WITH THAT SUPLEX THE BELLY TO BELLY!!! Lucas grins, contemplating his next action, and opts to tag in his partner. In comes Shane Gates! Shane immediately gets to work as he pushes Mary into the corner. He focuses on her midsection as he delivers several shoulder blocks right Mary’s midsection! He steps back and delivers a swift uppercut that staggers Mary WHO FIRES BACK WITH A DISCUS ELBOW! ATLAS TAKES HIM DOWN AND OUT WITH A TRIANGLE DROPKICK! DOWN GOES SHANE WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! Mary smirks as she moves to SHANE and turns before turning his back to him and grab hold of the ropes. Is she…
Persephone: Oh no…
Rich Russillo: THE STINKFACE ON LUCAS JOHNSON!! MARY IS LOOKING TO HUMILIATE HER OPPONENT!
Persephone: I’m going to be sick!
Rich Russillo: The stinkface by Mary she gave GATES a face full and he doesn’t seem to enjoy it in the context of this match! Mary moves away from him after a few seconds her arms in the air as she is taking in the sheers of the crowd. Mary returns to Gates who’s beginning to return to his feet. She throws several punches the way that forces him back. She pulls in Shane and tries to drop him WITH A DDT! BUT Shane fights back as he throws punches directly into the ribs of Mary Atlas! HE NOW PUSHES HIM FORWARD AND BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! MARY REVERSES THE POSITIONS AND GOES FOR A HEADLOCK ON GATES AND MAINTAINS HER HOLD AS SHE PULLS HIM BACK OUT TO TRY THE DDT ONCE MORE THIS TIME USING THE ROPES FOR ELEVATION! GATES STRUGGLES AND MANAGES TO PULL HIMSELF FREE JUST AS MARY WAS IN THE AIR TO FINISH THE DELIVERY! SHE LANDS ON HER BACK BUT SHE GETS UP WITH HASTE! GATES ATTEMPTS TO THROW A RIGHT PUNCH BUT SIDESTEPS IT! JAPANESE ARM DRAG!! MARY GETS BACK UP AND SHANE FOLLOWS WITH A BIG BOOT! HE TAKES OUT MARY WITH A BIG BOOT!
James Peters: Gates sees this as an opportunity to take in Lucas back who is getting back into this match! Lucas. Johnson charges in with great explosiveness and intensity even more so than he had at the start of the match! HE THROWS A FLURRY OF PUNCHES RIGHT INTO MARY ATLAS WHO JUST GOT UP!! JOHNSON STEPS BACK AND CHARGES AT HER ONCE MORE! HE FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH A SWINGING NECK BREAKER! Mary Atlas goes down and Lucas Johnson steps back as The Most Wanted returns to her feet. LUCAS NOW CHARGES TOWARDS THE CORNER! MARY TURNS TOWARDS HIM AND LUCAS JUMPS ON THEN OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES FOR A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!
Rich Russillo: He goes crashing into Mary Atlas with that cross-body. HE TURNS IT INTO A PIN ATTEMPT!
ONEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: A KICK OUT BY MARY ATLAS WHO THEN REVERSES IT INTO A PINFALL ATTEMPT OF HER OWN!!
ONEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Both men begin to get up with Lucas being surprised that Mary tried to roll him up for the win! Both ring warriors are at a vertical base now as they approach one another! Lucas pulls in Mary as he attempts a snap suplex! MARY ATLAS SHOVES HIM AWAY! LUCAS CATCHES HIMSELF BUT MARY LEAPS FOR A HIGH RUNNING KNEE STRIKE THAT TAKES DOWN LUCAS JOHNSON! WHAT AN EXPLOSIVE MANEUVER! Mary takes a moment to catch herself after that intense exchange with Lucas Johnson while being encouraged by her partner who has yet to tag in. Lucas on his end begins to pull himself up as Shane yells at him to do so! He does so and Mary is looking to takes advantage CUTTER CULTURE!!! MARY STRUCK LUCAS WITH THE CUTTER AND SHE FOLLOWS IT BY PICKING UP LUCAS ONLY TO SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX AGAINST THE NEARBY TURNBUCKLES!! SHE PICKS HIM UP AND NAILS HIM DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! MARY ATLAS NOW MAKES THE COVER!
ONEEEE!
TWOOOOOO!
Persephone: DAMNIT! COME ON MARY YOU CAN END THIS SO WE CAN MOVE ONTO SOMETHING BETTER!!
Rich Russillo: A KICK OUT BY LUCAS JOHNSON! Both he and Shane Gates are very much still in this match against the surprising team of Rebecca and Mary! Mary picks up Lucas and is seeking apparently to repeat what she just did to Lucas? THE EXPLODER SUPLEX ONE MORE TIME?? NO! LUCAS BATTLES OUT OF IT WITH A SERIES OF ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF MARY! HE GRABS MARY AND EXECUTES A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN BEFORE GOING ON A MOUNTED POSITION AND DRIVES MMA-STYLE PUNCHES AND ELBOWS DOWN ON A HELPLESS MARY! SHE TRIES TO BLOCK AS BEST SHE CAN BUT SOME OF THE HITS DRIVE HOME! Lucas picks up Mary whipping her into the ropes she goes for a Slingblade NO SHE ACTUALLY WOW SHE STAYS ON TOP OF JOHNSON WHO IS TALLER THAN HER BY ABOUT 8 INCHES AND DRIVES LUCAS’ HEAD DOWN INTO THE MAT INTO AN ELEVATED DDT!!! Mary is with the ascendency with that move and she is looking pondering if she should tag in her partner or if she should continue to punish her opponent further with a chance to win this for her team! Mary seems to be thinking real hard about it before picking up Lucas and whip him into her corner! She does it with enough force that she ends up taking down Charlie Marr with that maneuver as he sits on the ring his back against the turnbuckle. Lucas takes a moment to recover while Mary walks towards her corner. She tags in her partner!
Persephone: HERE COMES REBECCA BLACKWELL!
James Peters: Rebecca rushes in at Lucas! SHE BEGINS TO STOMP A MUDHOLE INTO HIS CHEST WITH HARD KICKS THAT THE CROWD IS LOVING BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES! SPINEBUSTEEEEEEEEEER ON LUCAS JOHNSON AND REBECCA GOES FOR A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Ugh!
James Peters: LUCAS KICKS OUT OF IT!! REBECCA WAS LOOKING TO IMPOSE HER SKILLS AND POWER UPON HER OPPONENT LIKE SHE DID GRIFF WARNER DURING HER DEBUT MATCH! She picks up Lucas, whipping him into the ropes again she nails him with a dropkick he goes down quickly but he tries to get up just as quickly as he got taken down! Rebecca goes for a headlock on Johnson before whipping him into the ropes again, Lucas ducks low the Lariat that he counters for one of his own! BUT MARY DOESN’T STUMBLE! SHE PUNCHES LUCAS WHO RESPONDS WITH SOME SLUGS OF IS OWN!! BOTH NOW BEGIN TO EXCHANGE BLOWS!! REBECCA GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT LUCAS JOHNSON DUCKS! HE GETS BEHIND REBECCA AND LEAPS FOR A DROPKICK! IT CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF REBECCA BLACKWELL! SHE FALLS FORWARD AND MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF! LUCAS GETS BEHIND HER AND TRIES THE INVERTED HEADLOCK BACKBREAKER ON HIM! REBECCA COUNTERS THIS AS SHE PUSHES LUCAS OFF OF HER! LUCAS TRIES TO COVER BUT MARY CATCHES HIM WITH A PELE KICK PERFECTLY EXECUTED!!!!
Rich Russillo: THAT HUGE PELE KICK almost bashes the head of Lucas right into his shoulders! Rebecca now makes her way towards Lucas as he pulls him up. BUT JOHNSON PUSHES HIM OFF AND CONNECTS WITH AN SKULL-CRUSHING FINALE!!! THE KILLSWITCH APPLIED ON REBECCA! BLACKWELL GOES DOWN! LUCAS GOES TO JUMP ON THE ROPES SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE SECOND ROPES! WOAH THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS AS HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF REBECCA BLACKWELL! Both opponents are down and they seem to be both going to their corners! LUCAS IS THE FIRST TO MAKE THE TAG! SHANE GATES RUSHES IN AND STOPS REBECCA FROM MAKING THE TAG TO MARY!!
James Peters: SHE PULLS UP SHANE BUT GATES CATCHES HIM WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BLACKWELL FALLS BACKWARDS AND SHANE MOVES FORWARD NAILING REBECCA DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! THEN A SECOND! AND A THIRD AS THE WOMAN KEEPS GETTING UP AND GATES SEEMS TO ENJOY TAKING HER DOWN THIS WAY! Shane picks her up again, whipping her into the ropes he goes for a DEADMAN! THE INVERTED SIT-OUT SIDE POWERSLAM CONNECTS! REBECCA IS HURTING DOWN ON THE FLOOR AS GATES LOOKS DOWN AT HER WITH MALICE IN HIs EYES! He goes to the ropes, goes down fast with a running senton before getting up again, and takes Rebecca for a ride with a SPINEBUSTER!! ANOTHER ONE!
Rich Russillo: He goes taking a few steps back he is calling for the Superkick that normally comes with the buster part of the move he calls The Kill Shot! He waits that Rebecca goes to her feet, he charges in! THE MOVE CON-NO!!!! REBECCA COUNTERS WITH AIR BLACKWELL AFTER HAVING DUCKED TO THE SIDE SHANE’S BOOT AIMED AT HER FACE! THE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BRINGS SHANE DOWN AND ALLOWING REBECCA TO MAKE THE TAG TO MARY! Mary Atlas is back in the fray!! She charges at Shane BUT HE EXPLODES AND CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING SPINNING HEEL KICK! MARY ALMOST GOES DOWN FROM THE FORCE!
James Peters: SIN’S DELIGHT! SHANE GOES FOR THE IRON CLAW CLOTHESLINE! NO! MARY SLIPS OUT OF THE MOVE AS SHANE LIFTED HER OFF THE GROUND!! SHE SLIDES IN BEHIND THE SURPRISED SHANE WHO TURNS AROUND AFTER MISSING ON THE CHOKESLAM! MARY IS THERE! FACING HIM AND POISED TO STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: HEADSHOT!! HEADSHOT!! HEADSHOT!!
James Peters: THE PATENTED SUPERKICK OF MARY CONNECTS IT’S ALMOST AS IF SHE DID A SPLIT ON ONE LEG DUE TO HER PROXIMITY TO HER OPPONENT WHO DROPS DOWN LIKE A LOG! MARY COVERS AS REBECCA ENTERS THE RING TO PREVENT LUCAS FROM INTERFERING! SHE CHARGES LUCAS WITH DAVEY JONES’ LOCKER!!! THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE CONNECTS ON LUCAS AS BOTH OF THEM END UP ROLLING OUT OF THE RING!
Penelope: COVER THAT BITCH AND GET IT DONE MARY!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( ‘Nothing Helps’ by One Ok Rock then follows as Mary’s arm is raised simultaneously alongside Rebecca’s by the official to signal their victory! )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen here are your winners! The Team of MARY S. ATLAS AND REBECCA BLACKWELL!!!!
Persephone: ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!
James Peters: A good match between two teams that are looking to make a name for themselves in the tag team division! Mary and Rebecca are looking like a strong unit together and they earned themselves a win tonight!
Rich Russillo: Shane and Lucas did not play slouch tonight but seems like a win was not part of the plan for them. Hopefully, they won’t take it bad enough to disband and we will see more of them! We now go live to the next segment of the show here on Sunday Night Voltage!
(As Mary and Rebecca celebrate their victory, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to the backstage area, and the first thing seen is Sofia Clarke standing in front of the camera with a microphone in her hand, as well as a smile on her face. The crowd begins to cheer as they see the interviewer on the screen, and Sofia begins to speak as soon as the sound of the fans cheering begins to die down.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen… Please welcome Holly Arrow!
(Immediately after hearing Holly’s name, the majority of the crowd begins to boo. Nonetheless Holly Arrow begins to walk into the scene, and she doesn’t look the happiest.)
Sofia Clarke: Holly, I’m glad you could be here. As we all know, last week you teamed up with your Tag Team Turmoil partner in Jake Smith..
(Holly Arrow rolls her eyes hearing Jake’s name.)
Sofia Clarke: .. And you two actually came up short to the team of Candice Blair and Danny Tanner. Do you have anything you’d like to say after what happened?
(Holly takes a few seconds to think, but it doesn’t take long at all for her to answer.)
Holly Arrow: You know, I really never wanted to team up with Jake Smith of all people, and I think I made that perfectly clear when we were announced for that Tag Team tournament. I don’t think there’s enough time in this show for me to list all of the horrible things about Jake, but I still tried to make this team work. I did the best that I could, and I really don’t think that a team like Candice Blair and Danny Tanner should’ve been able to come together and beat a team consisting of Elitists like us, but I guess that’s just what I get for expecting anything from Jake, even if the bar was low to begin with. I never expected Jake to be the greatest partner in the world… But just look at who we were facing. I at least thought that Jake would be able to do his part against the likes of Danny and Candice, and that’s why I actually put in the work in the first place. I believed we had the match won, but in the end things weren’t to be, and that’s why he’s the one that ended up getting pinned in that match by someone who shouldn’t even be on the roster. He’s an idiot, and not pulling his weight in a match that would’ve been ours in any other case cost him.
Holly Arrow: Honestly, I have no hope in the Tag Team Turmoil. I don’t think we’ll be able to defeat Minerva and Donovan Duke, and that’s really sad. We probably won’t be getting far at all in that tournament, and what’s also sad is that Jake thinks he’ll be winning the EAW World Championship match at Clash of Kingdoms. It’s not a secret at all that Jake’s delusional, and he probably thinks that he’ll be able to win both all by himself, when in reality he can’t do anything at all. Not even defeat Danny Tanner and Candice Blair. He couldn’t pull his weight in a tag team match that I’m sure most people thought we’d be able to win, so why should anyone believe that he’ll be able to win one of the top Championships on Voltage? Let’s just face it, Jake Smith isn’t leaving Clash of Kingdoms with that Championship-
???: BORK! BORK! BORK!
(Sofia Clarke can be seen sighing after her interview was stopped by the borking sound, and soon after Jake Smith’s pet dog Josh runs into the scene, running right up to Holly. Holly has a smile on her face looking down at Josh, but before she could pick him up, someone else’s voice is heard shouting at her, which immediately causes her to roll her eyes.)
???: STOP! DON’T TOUCH HIM!
(It’s Jake Smith, who’s running after Josh to make sure Holly doesn’t get to touch him.)
Josh: BORK! BORK!
Holly Arrow: Here we go…
(Jake quickly grabs Josh, which makes Josh a bit sad. Meanwhile, Holly Arrow already can’t be bothered with Jake.)
Holly Arrow: Jake, what do you want?
Jake Smith: What do you mean what do I want? Do you think I didn’t hear you talking shit and trying to drag my name through the mud? You should really be ashamed of yourself for even having the nerve to walk out here and talk about me like this. If you’re not praising me and talking about how talented I am, then need to shut your dumbass mouth and just avoid talking about me at all. I’m not just any other bum on the roster that you could pick on. This is GREATNESS you’re looking at. You had an honor not many people get to experience in teaming up with the biggest star in the entire world, and you somehow screwed it up.
Holly Arrow: :comeagain: I screwed it up?
Jake Smith: Yes.
Holly Arrow: I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’m the one that ended that match on the mat staring at the lights. I’m pretty sure that was you.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Jake Smith: And I wouldn’t have ended the match like that if you weren’t so fucking awful, but here we are. You couldn’t do your job against two fucking losers, so how am I supposed to rely on you when it matters most in the Tag Team Turmoil tournament? Candice Blair’s horrible and Danny Tanner shouldn’t even have a spot on the roster, yet YOU let them beat us. How could you be that useless when we have a tournament to compete in??? In case you haven’t noticed, I have way bigger things to worry about than Danny fucking Tanner. Things like winning the EAW Championship and cementing my spot on top of this entire company is what’s on my plate right now. Danny and Candice got lucky all thanks to me having to try and carry you to greatness. After Clash of Kingdoms I’m going to be World Champion, and after that I’m just gonna keep proving why I was ALWAYS the best thing going. You need to cut this out and actually start doing your job if you want to get anywhere in this tournament.
(Sofia Clarke looks between the two Elitists, and she takes her leave knowing that she likely won’t get another question out of Holly Arrow. Holly can’t believe what she’s hearing. Jake was the one that got pinned in that tag team match, but he clearly still believes that he’s the star of their team and that Holly was the weak link. Jake doesn’t care about Holly’s frustrations though, and instead just keeps talking.)
Jake Smith: A future World Champion shouldn’t have to put up with mediocrity, and honestly I’m being generous calling you that.
Holly Arrow: :skip:
Jake Smith: You fucking sucked out there, and you should be able to acknowledge that and do better, but instead you’re here whining about what happened like a little bitch. I actually care about winning matches and proving that I’m the best on the roster. I don’t know if you’re interested in the same thing, but if you’re not then you need to get the fuck out of the way and stop screwing me over.
Holly Arrow: Really?
Jake Smith: Yes, really. I could’ve been put in that tournament with anyone else. I could have been put against Danny and Candice with anyone else, and we would’ve gotten the job done. Instead I was forced to deal with you, and you just won’t listen! Holly you’re making this so difficult for yourself when all your answers are right here! You’re not just teaming up with anyone, you’re teaming up with ME! The Industry Ruler, the one that’s gonna take this brand to new heights once I’m done with Drake King. You shouldn’t be complaining about me being your partner. You should be down on your knees, kissing my feet, and being grateful that you’re teaming up with a future EAW World Champion-
Josh: BORK!
(Having finally had enough of Jake, Holly grabs him by the collar and slams him into the wall, which catches him by surprise as Josh quickly jumps out of his arms and stands beside Holly.)
Holly Arrow: YOU need to shape up and get a clue! I’m not the lucky one here, that’s you! You’re lucky to be teaming up with someone that’s actually willing to do their part, AND carry the weight of the team all because you’re clearly not going to be useful! I had to put in ALL the work last week, and it STILL wasn’t good enough because you were dumb enough to go out there, do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING then get yourself pinned by Danny Tanner! That was a match that ANYONE could’ve won, and somehow we didn’t win! Not because they were the better Elitists, but because neither of them were you. Neither of them were content with just letting their partner do all the work. I did everything I could last week, and if you just cared even a little bit we probably would’ve gotten the job done. Now you have the audacity to come out here and blame ME for it when I’m the only one that actually cared enough to put any effort into that match?
Jake Smith: ….
Holly Arrow: We only have one chance in this tournament and I’m not about to let this go to waste just because my partner doesn’t realize that the world doesn’t revolve around him. I’m going to continue going out there and performing to the best of my ability, and I promise, if you ruin this for me I WILL slit your throat and raise that dog myself.
(Clearly pissed off, Holly lets go of Jake and begins to walk away from the area as Josh watches Holly leave. Jake just stands there for a moment, not actually knowing what to say after what just happened. After a few more seconds, long after Holly is gone, Jake is able to finally let out one word.)
Jake Smith: Wow.
(With that being said, a smile actually forms on Jake’s face as he looks back in the direction Holly walked in, before finally turning and leaving with Josh in the other direction. From there, Voltage begins to fade away from the backstage area.)
(Commercial for Kool-Aid featuring Kassidy Heart. It makes very good hair dye :wow:.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon blasts through the speakers as Ryan Wilson makes his way to the stage with his New Breed Championship belt on his shoulder, gaining a mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly negative. He holds up his title, before making his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS… HE IS THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION… ‘THE ARCHITECT’… RYAAAAAAANNN… WIIIILLLLSSOOOOOONNNNN!!!
James Peters: Here comes The New Breed Champion, Ryan Wilson, who is strongly willing to beat his opponent, Jake Smith tonight.
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson has been quite confident lately, and who can blame him? He already had a fantastic title reign so far, and proved how he deserves this New Breed Championship, AND his spot in Brand Warfare!
Persephone: Like anybody cares.
James Peters: :over:
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti replaces ‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ as the crowd immediately emerges with boos. Jake Smith comes out looking completely confident, having a huge smirk on his face. He starts making his way to the ring, keeping the confidence on his face clear.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM NEWARK, NEW JERSEY… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS… ‘THE ETERNAL RULER’… JAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEE… SMIIITTTHHHHHHHH!!!!
James Peters: Here comes Jake Smith!
Rich Russillo: After challenging Drake King for the EAW World Championship at Clash of Kingdoms II last week, Jake Smith actually has all the confidence on his face right now, and knows that he will be able to be in Brand Warfare by winning tonight!
James Peters: And winning that does not only mean him being in the team, but also Chris Elite. Will he be able to do it? It looks like he will.
(DING! DING! DING)
James Peters: And now, this match between Jake Smith and The Elite Answers Wrestling New Breed Champion Ryan Wilson is officially underway! We can see how both competitors are circling around the ring, staring at each other, but that’s before Jake Smith physically starts this match with the lock up on Ryan Wilson!
Rich Russillo: But, Ryan Wilson turns it to a headlock of his own. Jake Smith gets on a knee for a second, as Ryan Wilson is still having the headlock applied, BUT THAT’S BEFORE JAKE STRIKES WITH THE PUNCH TO RYAN’S RIBS! AND AGAIN! ANOTHER! AND A FOURTH TIME! However, Ryan Wilson still doesn’t let go of the headlock, but it was already enough to faze him, allowing Jake to flip him over his shoulder, as both competitors get right back up to their feet, AND JAKE WITH THE RUNNING CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES DOWN RYAN WILSON!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson falls down to the mat, immediately rolling up Jake Smith all of a sudden! Ryan Wilson with the roll-up!! The school boy on Jake Smith!! Will he be able to steal the victory that early?
Referee: OOOONNNN-
Persephone: Sadly, of fucking course not. He kicked out, and it’s still going.
Rich Russillo: Both competitors are back up to their feet, as Ryan runs at Jake attempting a clothesline, but Jake manages to duck underneath, AND HE NAILS THE EAR OF RYAN WITH A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI THE MOMENT HE TURNS! RYAN WILSON IS DOWN!
James Peters: Jake is, apparently, not satisfied at the moment, as he picks The New Breed Champion right back up to his feet- BUT RYAN WILSON, SUDDENLY, THROWS JAKE SMITH OUT OF THE RING, GIVING HIMSELF A MOMENT TO REGAIN ENERGY AND GET BACK IN THIS MATCH!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson, after a second of regaining energy, runs off the ropes, rebounding, BEFORE NAILING JAKE SMITH WHO WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE BARRICADE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! HOWEVER, RYAN, APPARENTLY, IS NOT DONE, AS HE CONVERTS IT INTO A TORNADO DDT! THE SUICIDE DIVE INTO THE TORNADO DDT AT THE RINGSIDE NAILS JAKE SMITH, AS BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWNED AT THE RINGSIDE! THE REFEREE CONTINUES GIS COUNT!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Persephone: DON’T GET UP, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD **DON’T** GET UP, AND LET THIS END, SO I CAN CONTINUE THINKING ABOUT MY REXY WITHOUT BEING FORCED TO WATCH THIS BORING SHIT :noah:!!
James Peters: That’s clearly not happening, as we can see Ryan Wilson getting right back up to his feet, slowly, using the barricade, before leaning on it for a few seconds to probably catch his breath.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
Rich Russillo: And that’s before he picks Jake Smith back up to his feet, before throwing him back inside the ring.
Referee: NINE!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson makes it back to the ring just in time, before grabbing Jake Smith, picking him right back up to his feet, THEN, NAILING HIM WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX CONNECTS AND TAKES DOWN JAKE SMITH! RYAN INTO THE COVER!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWOOO-
Persephone: Duh.
James Peters: And Jake Smith powers out! Ryan Wilson looks angry as he stands back up on his feet, next to the grounded Jake Smith, BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH AN ELBOW TO THE CHEST! THE POINTED ELBOW DROP TO JAKE SMITH-
Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AS RYAN WILSON’S ELBOW HITS THE MAT INSTEAD! I bet that hurts! Jake Smith gets right back up to his feet quickly taking the advantage, as he rebounds, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO RYAN WILSON WHO WAS ON HIS KNEES!
James Peters: Jake doesn’t go for the cover, as he gets right back up to his feet, before grabbing The New Breed Champion, making him stand back up on his feet, as he wastes no time, lifting him up, BEFORE DROPPING HIS BACK POWERFULLY ON THE MAT WITH A SPINEBUSTER! A POWERFUL SPINEBUSTER BY JAKE SMITH NAILS RYAN WILSON, AND NOW HE FLIPS OVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION POWERS OUT! Jake Smith does not look shocked at all at the moment, but he does look angry! Though, he wastes no time, starting to take an action, as he picks Ryan Wilson right back up to his feet, AND WITH THE RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW OF RYAN! THE PUNCH NAILS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION’S JAW, WHO IMMEDIATELY RESPONDS WITH A PUNCH OF HIS OWN! AND NOW BOTH INDIVIDUALS START TRADING PUNCHES! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! JAKE! JAKE! JAKE! RYAN! JAKE! JAKE! RYAN-
James Peters: But, Jake Smith manages to duck underneath the punch by Ryan Wilson just in time, as he Irish Whips him into the corner! The Irish Whip into the corner making Ryan Wilson’s back hit the turnbuckle and himself lean on the corner! AND JAKE RUNS AT HIM WITH A CORNER LARIAT! AND ANOTHER CORNER CLOTHESLINE! AND A THIRD ONE!
Crowd: FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN-
Rich Russillo: And Ryan Wilson manages to duck underneath the tenth corner clothesline! He immediately grabs Jake Smith in an uranage position after ducking, NAILING HIM WITH A REVERSE STO INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!!! THE REVERSE STO SLAMS JAKE SMITH’S HEAD ON THE TURNBUCKLE MAKING HIM LEAN ON THE CORNER HIMSELF AS RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO MOVE AWAY AND LEAN ON THE OPPOSITE CORNER! Jake Smith looks totally hurt, as he is leaning towards the corner, while on the other hand, Ryan Wilson is standing in front of the opposite corner staring at Jake Smith with a clear grin on his face. What is he thinking to go for at the moment? He runs at Jake, AND WITH THE HELLUVA KICK!!! THE HELLUVA KICK SMASHES THE SKULL OF JAKE SMITH INTO THE TURNBUCKLE MAKING HIM FALL DOWN TO THE MAT, WHILE RYAN GETS HIS LEG OFF THE CORNER!!! WHAT A MOVE BY RYAN WILSON!!!
James Peters: Now, Ryan Wilson, falling onto the body of Jake Smith! The cover! The cover on Jake!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Persephone: :noah: :noah: :noah:
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! TAKING OUT JAKE SMITH AT THIS POINT, APPARENTLY, WON’T BE THAT EASY, ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT THE BRAND WARFARE TEAM SPOT IS ON THE LINE!
James Peters: Though, The New Breed Champion is still not willing to lose at any cost, as he picks Jake Smith right back up to his feet-
Rich Russillo: But, Jake with the kick that nails the gut of Ryan Wilson. He grabs both of his arms, BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A BUTTERFLY DDT! THE BUTTERFLY DDT DRIVES RYAN WILSON’S HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!! JAKE SMITH WITH AN INSTANT COME BACK IN THIS MATCH!! WHAT A MOVE BY JAKE SMITH!!!! INTO THE COVER!! HE HOOKS THE LEG!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: .
James Peters: AND RYAN WILSON POPS HIS SHOULDER UP!! RYAN WITH THE KICK OUT THAT KEEPS THIS MATCH GOING!! JAKE SMITH LOOKS QUITE ANGRY, BUT HE STARTS TRYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AS HE GRABS RYAN’S LEGS! WHAT IS HE THINKING OF NOW? OH, NO, AND THE FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK!!! THE FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK IS LOCKED IN ON RYAN WILSON, WHO STARTS SCREAMING IN PAIN, WHILE JAKE SMITH KEEPS IT LOCKED IN!! HE’S GOING TO SUBMIT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!! RYAN’S GONNA TAP!!! JAKE HAS IT LOCKED IN, AND HE’LL NOT LET GO!!
Rich Russillo: IF YOU CAN’T PIN ‘EM, SUBMIT ‘EM, AND THAT’S WHAT’S JAKE SMITH GOING FOR AT THE MOMENT! THE FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK IS LOCKED IN, AND RYAN IS STILL DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO NOT TAP OUT, BUT IT’S DEEPLY LOCKED IN!!! RYAN WILSON, AFTER SCRATCHING AND CLAWING, FINALLY :wow: REACHES THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! HE DID IT!! HE BROKE UP THE SUBMISSION-
James Peters: BUT, JAKE SMITH ROLLS HIM INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, THEN, ROLLS THROUGH INTO A CROSSFACE!!! LOOKS LIKE JAKE SMITH IS WILLING TO SUBMIT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION HERE, NO MATTER WHAT, AND RYAN WILSON IS ACTUALLY DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO AVOID A LOSS, AND ESPECIALLY, A SUBMISSION LOSS!! RYAN WILSON KEEPS CRAWLING HIS WAY TO THE ROPES, BUT JAKE ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, DOING NOTHING BUT LOCKING IT IN EVEN HARDER!!! RYAN WILSON IS SCREAMING IN AGONY, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, WHILE JAKE SMITH IS KEEPING IT LOCKED IN WITH ALL HE GOT OF STRENGTH!!!
Jake Smith: (off-mic) TAP OUT, YOU FUCKING VIRGIN!
Rich Russillo: AND IT’S ALL NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE THE NEW BREED CHAMPION TAP OUT, AS HE IS STILL DOING LITERALLY WHATEVER IT TAKES TO STAY IN THIS MATCH, AND KEEPS CRAWLING, DESPITE HOW JAKE SMITH IS DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS MATCH WON AND SUBMIT HIM! RYAN SLOWLY, AND AFTER GIVING IT ALL OF HIS POWER, GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! HE DID IT!!! HE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! RYAN WILSON KEEPS THIS MATCH GOING, AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE STAYING ALIVE!! WHAT A MATCH WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO WITNESS HERE SO FAR, AND WHAT AN EFFORT THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS ARE GIVING!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, JAKE!
Persephone: :mjcry: WHY DIDN’T HE JUST FUCKING TAP OUT!
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith lets go off the crossface, sitting in the middle of the ring next to Ryan Wilson, looking completely frustrated. However, Jake Smith, without washing any time, picks Ryan Wilson right back up to his feet, lifting him up and going for the ‘Wide Awake’ Reverse Brainbuster, AND IT CONNECTS!! THE ‘WIDE AWAKE’ TO RYA-
James Peters: NO!! IT DOESN’T CONNECT, IT DOESN’T LAND!! RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT IN THE LAST SECOND, BEFORE LIFTING UP JAKE SMITH, AND NAILING HIM WITH ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’!!!!!! THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB CONNECTS!!! THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB CONNECTS AND SENDS RYAN WILSON INTO THE MAT GROUNDED!!! THE ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’ SIGNATURE TAKES DOWN JAKE SMITH AND GETS RYAN WILSON BACK IN THIS MATCH!!! RYAN INTO THE COVER!! THE PIN IN THE SAME POSITION OF THE MOVE!!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TTTTTHHHHHRRRR-
Rich Russillo: AND JAKE SMITH FORCES HIS SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT!!! JAKE SMITH WITH THE KICK OUT!!! HE STAYS ALIVE, SURVIVING ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’ AND HE KEEPS THIS MATCH GOING!!!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson looks totally shocked, as he gets off Jake Smith holding his head in shock. However, picks Jake Smith right back up to his feet, looking for something else to finish this match-up and head to Territorial Invasion with the victory over the man who’s facing Drake King for the EAW World Championship at Clash of Kingdoms II, AS HE NAILS HIM WITH THE ‘CHEMIN DE CROIX!!!!!’ THE CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB, INDEED, CONNECTS AND TAKES DOWN JAKE SMITH!!! RYAN WILSON HOOKS THE LEGS!! THE COVER ON JAKE SMITH!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN!!! JAKE SMITH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WILLING TO LET THE CHANCE OF BEING IN VOLTAGE’S BRAND WARFARE TEAM TO GO AWAY FROM HIM!!! RYAN WILSON WITH THE TOTALLY SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE!!!
Persephone: :mjcry: :mjcry: :mjcry:
James Peters: And still, he’s not willing to waste any time in the slightest, as he gets in a corner, starting to charge for the ‘Self Explanatory’ Superman Punch, while on the other hand, Jake Smith is slowly, using the ropes getting right back up to his feet. Ryan Wilson runs at Jake Smith, AND WITH THE ‘SELF EXPLANATORY!!!’ THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNEC-
Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE SMITH MANAGES TO DUCK UNDERNEATH AND MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, GOING BEHIND RYAN WILSON! HE GETS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IN AN INVERTED-DDT POSITION, AS HE THEN WITHOUT WASTING ANY TIME NAILS HIM WITH THE ‘STARMAKER!!!’ THE ROLLING CUTTER CONNECTS AND KNOCKS OFF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! JAKE INTO THE COVER!! THE COVER ON RYAN WILSON!!! HE HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: :blessed:!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti blasts through the speakers, as the crowd emerges with boos, as Jake Smith rolls off Ryan Wilson. The referee raises his hand in victory, acknowledging him as the winner of this match.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… JAKE SMITH!!
James Peters: Jake Smith and Chris Elite are now in the Brand Warfare team. Huge win for Jake Smith here tonight, and he showed that he deserves the spot at Territorial Invasion.
Rich Russillo: As for Ryan Wilson, he did great tonight and had this match almost won ultimate times throughout this matchup with a fantastic performance, but it just wasn’t enough to knock off a solid Jake Smith, who was here determined to have this match won at any cost. Congratulations to Jake Smith.
Persephone: As for me, I’m glad that match finally ended, because it sucked, and because now I can think about my Sexy Rexy for a while in peace.
James Peters: 🙄
(As Jake Smith is seen celebrating his victory and earning his spot as being a part of Voltage’s Brand Warfare team alongside Chris Elite, Ryan Wilson, on the other hand, is sitting at the corner of the ring, looking completely mad, as he is punching the mat, not accepting how he actually lost. From there, Voltage fades to black.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Territorial Invasion featuring the entire Brand Warfare team for Voltage.)
(“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi starts to play as Dr. Bethany Blue makes her way to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, accompanied by her assistant Regyna, she is the EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE….M.D.!
James Peters: Welcome back to Voltage and for this next match, we are going to have a special guest commentator joining us. The reigning Specialists Champion is here.
Persephone: Damn, really? Another moron at the table with us. Can she stay and I leave instead?
(Dr. Bethany makes it to the announce table and puts on a glove before shaking hands with James and Rich. Safety First! She gives Persephone a courtesy smile before taking a seat next to Rich with Regyna standing behind her.)
Rich Russillo: Dr. Bethany Blue. Thank you very much for joining us tonight for commentary. We are happy to have you here.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Thank you for having me, Rich. I am glad to be here and help call the action.
Persephone: Yeah…so when exactly will you be leaving?
James Peters: Will you stop!
Dr. Bethany Blue: As always, it’s great to see you too, Persephone.
(Persephone rolls her eyes and pulls out her phone as the camera focuses back on Bella Braxton as she gets ready for the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is scheduled for….
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: ONE FALL!!!
(“Age-Age Money by LADYBABY starts to play as Miku Sakai enters the arena with Hikari Kanno following behind.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Making her way to the ring and accompanied by Hikari Kanno. From Fukui, Japan. She weighs 110 pounds! She is one half of IDOL-GUN…MIKU SAKAI!!
James Peters: Miku Sakai makes her way to the ring for singles action. But we already know that wherever Miku Sakai is, Hikari Kanno is usually not far behind. They aren’t the former World Tag Team Champions for nothing. This time around, Miku Sakai will be going at it on her own as well as when she faces you, Doctor.
Dr. Bethany Blue: That might be true, but I don’t believe it yet. Since she’s been in a tag team all this time, she’s so used to having a partner watch her back and be her insurance policy just in case things go wrong. That’s how she’s been so successful.
Rich Russillo: Even though Hikari Kanno has been a factor in Miku Sakai’s success and vice versa, Miku Sakai can actually be a very dangerous competitor in the ring. All I can say is that her opponent better be careful or it will be a long night for her.
Persephone: PLEASE! Put me out of my misery. This is going to suck!
(“Age-Age Money” stops playing as Miku Sakai enters the ring as the crowd still showers her with boos. Hikari Kanno takes her place at ringside as “My Hero” by Foo Fighters starts to play as Holly Arrow enters the arena and the boos continue.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT! SHE IS FROM CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND! SHE WEIGHS 148 POUNDS! SHE IS “BATBITCH” HOLLY ARROW!
Persephone: BAHAHAHAHA!!! People still call her that! Ohhh that’s amazing! I can’t breathe, this is so hilarious. WE NEED #BATBITCH SHIRTS!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Easily amused, aren’t we?
James Peters: Persephone might be having a blast with the nickname, but Doctor, what do you think of Holly Arrow as a competitor?
Dr. Bethany Blue: Inside the ring? She’s an up and coming wrestler and could easily use this season to stake her claim in EAW. Outside the ring, she’s a delusional and crazy bitch! And you can’t trust her as a tag team partner. Guess that’s why her and Jake Smith could mesh well in this tag tournament thing. They’re both delusional. Her with the fans thinking they love her and him thinking that he’s tall and we like his fur ball rat.
(Holly enters the ring and poses for the crowd as they still boo her.)
Rich Russillo: Be that as it may, this match has the chance to steal the show. Let’s see who will walk out victorious.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Referee calls for the bell and this match has officially begun. Miku Sakai and Holly Arrow. Neither lady will rank high on the most popular list here in EAW by any means, but they both can bring it in the ring. Miku and Holly go to lock up before Miku immediately gets the upper hand with a kick to the gut. Miku is now just clobbering the back of Holly Arrow.
Rich Russillo: Miku whips Holly into the corner, but she catches herself by jumping onto the bottom rope. Miku does not give her a second to counter as she pulls Holly by the hair back down to the canvas.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Big shocker right there. She’ll do anything to get the advantage. I’m surprised that a few of her simp people didn’t come with her along with Hikari to help her. Can she wrestle without her underhanded tricks?
James Peters: I don’t know, but you’ll find out when you face her with the Specialist’s Title on the line. Look at Miku Sakai now with her foot over the throat of Holly Arrow. Referee on Miku trying to get her to break that illegal choke.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI–
Persephone: Little bitch broke the choke. I don’t see why. We could just end this match when the Artist formerly known as Batbitch just passes out.
Rich Russillo: Now it looks like Miku is grabbing Holly by the hair and flings her halfway across the ring. That probably doesn’t feel very pleasant. Miku picks up Holly and shoves her into the corner. Miku grabs Holly by the chin and it seems like she’s talking to Holly.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A STUPID BITCH!
*SLAP*
Persephone: Little bitch giving Batbitch a bitch slap. Too much bitch around here for my liking.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Then why don’t you quit or just shut the hell up for the rest of the match.
(Persephone keeps quiet, but she pouts after the Doctor’s remark.)
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai has complete control of Holly Arrow in the early stages of this matchup. It seems to me that with the moves that Miku has used have been more to make light of her opponent as opposed to causing damage.
(Miku Sakai drags Holly by the hair to the side of the ring where the announce team and Dr. Bethany Blue is sitting and points at Holly.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) ARE YOU WATCHING, WHORE? THIS IS GONNA BE YOU SOON. KISS YOUR TITLE GOODB–
James Peters: Miku Sakai was more concerned with you, Bethany, instead of her opponent and Holly manages to deliver some elbows to the stomach of Sakai. Holly breaks free and whips Sakai to the ropes. Sakai rebounds and looks to counter with a headscissors, but HOLLY PLANTS HER WITH A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM!
Dr. Bethany Blue: That’s exactly what she deserves for talking trash during the match. If she thinks that her usual plan of action is gonna work against me, then she needs to make an appointment for some type of lobotomy because she’s dreaming. Since I’m on the topic of brain malfunctions, what the hell is she wearing? Looks like some sort of cheap pole dancer or Persephone when she works her other job.
Persephone: Shut your rude mouth!! There’s only one place I would wear something sexy for someone else and that’s when me and my Rexy are in a bedroom.
Rich Russillo: Hate to interrupt you two ladies, but there still is a match going on. Holly Arrow is clobbering the back of Miku Sakai. Holly picks her up and whips her to the ropes, BUT MIKU HOLDS ON TO THE ROPES AS HOLLY GOES FOR A DROPKICK. HOLLY MISSES AND CRASHES ONTO THE MAT!! MIKU SAKAI GRABS THE LEGS OF HOLLY ARROW AND SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A BOSTON CRAB. NOPE! SHE JUST FALLS BACK AND SLINGSHOTS HOLLY ARROW OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUTSIDE OF THE RING IN FRONT OF US!
James Peters: Miku Sakai leaves the ring to grab Holly and SHE BOUNCES HER FACE RIGHT OFF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!! NOW MIKU GRABS HOLLY BY THE WAIST AND SENDS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING!! NOW SHE’S WALKING BACK TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AND GETTING IN THE FACE OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!
(Dr. Bethany Blue sees Miku coming and stands up from her seat and gets in the face of Miku.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: What the hell do you want?
Rich Russillo: Come on, Doctor. There’s no need for this right now.
Persephone: Will you shut up, Rich! Let these two dumb bitches fight! Let’s hope for bloodshed. Maybe the doctor will need a doctor! :mjlol:
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) YOU DON’T THINK I CAN WIN THIS MATCH ON MY OWN, DO YOU?
Dr. Bethany Blue: Actually, no I don’t think you can. Not with your butt buddy Hikari at ringside.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) WELL KEEP WATCHING!!
(Dr. Bethany Blue rolls her eyes as she sits back down.)
Rich Russillo: While all that was going on, the referee reached eight on the count before Miku goes back to roll Holly Arrow back into the ring. Miku Sakai still standing on the apron before she FLIPS IN AND CATCHES HOLLY WITH THE SOMERSAULT SENTON! ALL OF MIKU’S WEIGHT ON THE CHEST AND MIDSECTION OF HOLLY ARROW! MIKU PULLS HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW KICKS OUT AT TWO!! It’s going to take a lot more than that to beat Holly Arrow. Miku Sakai picks up Holly by the hair and whips her into the corner. Miku runs and jumps, landing on the legs of Holly before falling back. MONKEY FLIP OUT OF THE CORNER!! NICE MOVE BY MIKU SAKAI!!
Persephone: Don’t make it sound better than it was. It wasn’t that good of a move. Wasn’t good at all actually. My lovely Rexy could have done that so much better.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Don’t you think you should talk to someone about this Rex McAllister obsession of yours?
Persephone: Like a wedding planner?
Dr. Bethany Blue: No. Oh nevermind with you! Look at Miku Sakai. Using poor Holly as a surfboard with a foot on her throat. That could cause some serious or maybe even permanent damage if it goes on too long. No way she will be doing that to me.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI–
Rich Russillo: The referee once again admonishes Miku Sakai from using that illegal choke, but Miku doesn’t look like she cares about anything the referee has to say as she pulls Holly back to her feet and whips her into the ropes. SAKAI LOOKING FOR THAT HIP ATTACK, BUT HOLLY STOPPED AND CAUGHT HER WITH A WAISTLOCK!! HOLLY CARRIES MIKU OVER TO THE ROPES AND THROWS HER OVER!! SAKAI ON THE APRON BUT HOLLY CATCHES HER WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE SHIN SENDING MIKU TO THE FLOOR BUT NOT BEFORE HER FACES MEETS THE RING APRON! SAKAI DOWN BUT LOOK AT HIKARI KANNO! SHE IS STEPPING BACK AND KEEPING HER DISTANCE!
Dr. Bethany Blue: She might be the smart one of the team. She finally knows when to butt out of business that doesn’t concern her.
Persephone: Why isn’t she helping her friend? She helps me by helping her by helping this match end as quickly as possible.
James Peters: I think she’s honoring Miku’s wishes by letting Miku go on her own. Back to the action as Holly Arrow looks to fly. SHE HITS THE ROPES AND CATCHES MIKU SAKAI WITH THE TOPE CON HILO!! BEAUTIFUL AERIAL MOVE BY THE DIAMOND DARLING. LOOK AT THE FACE OF HIKARI KANNO! SUBTLE MOOD CHANGE! SHE MIGHT BE THE SLIGHTEST BIT IMPRESSED!
Rich Russillo: Quite possibly. If I remember correctly, there might be one spot left on the Women’s Divide and Conquer team. Maybe Hikari is scouting Holly to see if Holly might be considered as an addition to the team. HOLD ON A SECOND! BACK TO THE ACTION AS HOLLY JUST DELIVERED A SNAP SUPLEX ONTO THE FLOOR!! MIKU’S BACK TAKING A SMALL POUNDING BEFORE HOLLY THROWS MIKU BACK INTO THE RING!
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE WAITING FOR MIKU TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!! MIKU BACK AND NOW HOLLY FLIES AND LOOKS FOR THE CROSSBODY AND SHE HITS IT!! MIKU CRASHES BACK TO THE CANVAS AND HOLLY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI NOT ONLY GOT THE SHOULDER UP, SHE REVERSED THE CROSSBODY INTO A PIN OF HER OWN!! NOW HOLLY IS IN TROUBLE!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: ANOTHER REVERSAL! HOLLY FLIPS MIKU BACK ON HER BACK BUT SHE DOESN’T KEEP THE PIN!! HOLLY BACK ON HER FEET AS MIKU MAKES IT TO HER KNEES! HOLLY WITH A QUICK DASH AND PLANTS MIKU WITH A SLIDING STO! MIKU’S FACE MEETS THE CANVAS!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Hmmm. Holly might be a little delusional about how the crowd feels about her, but she’s showing that she can bring the fight. Maybe she’s making her case for a future Specialist’s Championship match. What do you think, Regyna?
(Regyna shrugs and gives a small nod.)
Persephone: First, why the hell did you have to bring your assistant along. SHE ISN’T NEEDED! Secondly, why the fuck are you complimenting that loony batbitch? You’re supposed to be here for commentary, not whatever the fuck you are doing!
Dr. Bethany Blue: It’s called scouting competition, stupid. Just because Miku Sakai is the number one contender for the Specialist’s Title doesn’t mean Holly won’t be coming up in the future. If you would stay off your back and stop fantasizing about Rex, you might have known that.
Persephone: Why you little b—-
Rich Russillo: Speaking of Holly Arrow, Holly pulls Miku up and whips her to the ropes. Miku rebounds and ducks the Holly clothesline and Miku counters with the jumping snapmare takeover. Holly gets back to feet and Miku takes her back down with a jumping clothesline. Holly is back up and Miku hits her with another clothesline. Holly makes it to her knees and MIKU HITS HER WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE TEMPLE! HOLLY FALLS BACKWARD BUT MIKU IS ELECTING TO NOT GO FOR THE COVER.
James Peters: That might be the smartest strategy. I don’t think the knee to the side of the head would be enough. Miku Sakai whips Holly into the corner. MIKU GOES TO CHOP HOLLY BUT HOLLY GRABS MIKU AND THROWS HER INTO THE CORNER!! HOLLY WITH A COUPLE OF CHOPS TO THE CHEST OF MIKU BEFORE LIFTING AND PLACING MIKU SAKAI ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HOLLY CLIMBS ONTO THE SECOND ROPES AND IS TRYING FOR A SUPERPLEX! HOLLY TRYING BUT MIKU IS BLOCKING IT!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI WITH SHOTS TO THE HEAD TRYING TO GET HOLLY OFF BALANCE! HOLLY STARTING TO LOSE HER BALANCE, SO MIKU SHOVES HER OFF THE ROPES, BUT HOLLY KEEPS HER BALANCE AND STAYS ON HER FEET! HOLLY GOING FOR A PALM STRIKE, BUT MIKU BLOCKS IT. MIKU NOW WITH A FRONT FACELOCK AND JUMPS OFF THE TURNBUCKLE AS SHE PLANTS HOLLY ARROW WITH A TORNADO DDT!! HOLLY ARROW SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! MIKU SAKAI GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Persephone: Holly kicks out! Damn! Why does this match have to continue? This is so boring!!
James Peters: Why are you complaining? This match has been amazing! The frustration is starting to show on the face of Miku Sakai. Sakai mounts Holly and STARTS CLOBBERING HER WITH LEFT AND RIGHTS! HOLLY TRYING TO COVER UP AND SHIELD HERSELF FROM THE PUNCHES FROM THE FORMER WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION!
Dr. Bethany Blue: What’s the matter, little Miss Miku? Can’t finish the job without any help? You are certainly impressing me.
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI WITH AN ELBOW TO THE CHEST OF HOLLY ARROW! MIKU SAKAI LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH AND SHE IS READY TO FINISH THE JOB! MIKU MOTIONING FOR HOLLY ARROW TO GET UP!! HOLLY SLOW TO HER FEET, BUT SHE MAKES IT! MIKU GRABS HOLLY BY THE BACK OF THE NECK AND SHE DROPS! MIKU GOING FOR THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER THAT SHE CALLS THE NIGHT NIGHT! WILL IT BE NIGHT NIGHT FOR HOLLY ARROW? IT WILL BE IF MIKU HITS THIS MOVE! AND SHE DOES! NIGHT NIGHT TO HOLLY ARROW! THIS MATCH IS OVER!!
James Peters: WAIT! YOU MIGHT HAVE SPOKE A LITTLE TOO SOON! DID YOU SEE THAT! WHAT A CREATIVE COUNTER!! WHEN MIKU DROPS TO HER HOLLY USES MIKU’S KNEES ALMOST LIKE A SPRINGBOARD AND FLIPS OVER MIKU!! HOLLY COUNTERED THE NIGHT NIGHT AND LANDS ON HER FEET! MIKU ON HER BACK A LITTLE STUNNED THAT SHE COUNTERED IN THAT WAY!! MIKU GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND HOLLY PLANTS HER WITH A SLINGBLADE!
Persephone: Stop glamorizing this shit!! It’s not that impressive and neither of the dumb bitches in the ring are making me interested in this match.
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW DRAGS MIKU SAKAI OVER TO THE CORNER AS HOLLY CLIMBS UP TO ONE OF HER FAVORITE PLACES: THE TOP ROPE! HOLLY ADJUSTS HERSELF AS SHE LOOKS OUT TO MAKE SURE MIKU SAKAI HASN’T MOVED! IF SHE HITS THIS MOVE, IT COULD EASILY END THE MATCH!!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY ARROW GOING FOR HER VERSION OF THE SPINAL TAP SHE CALLS VIVA LA ARROW! SHE JUMPS AND SHE HITS IT!! BULLSEYE! VIVA LA ARROW CATCHES MIKU RIGHT ON THE MONEY! THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT MIKU SAKAI HAD THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HER WHEN HOLLY HIT THE MAT!! THIS COULD BE IT!! BIG VICTORY ON THE HORIZON FOR HOLLY ARROW! HOLLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHHRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: MIKU KICKED OUT! MIKU KICKED OUT! HOW THE HELL DID MIKU SAKAI KICK OUT?? IT MUST BE THE ADRENALINE AND SHEER WILL TO FIGHT KEEPING HER GOING AND HOLLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! HOLLY IS POUNDING THE CANVAS IN FRUSTRATION THAT SHE CAN’T PUT MIKU SAKAI AWAY!
Dr. Bethany Blue: With that shot, Miku Sakai might need an X-Ray because of the landing Holly had on Miku’s ribs. A few of them could be broken. I can at least hope so.
Rich Russillo: HOLLY ARROW PULLS MIKU TO HER FEET AND HOLLY LOOKS READY TO HIT HER SUPERKICK! SHE CALLS IT KIDS SEE GHOSTS! WILL MIKU SAKAI SEE GHOSTS IF HOLLY HITS THE KICK? HOLLY GOES FOR THE KICK, BUT MIKU PULLS THE REFEREE RIGHT IN THE LINE OF FIRE AND STOPPING HOLLY RIGHT IN HER TRACKS!
Persephone: RING THE BELL! Putting your hands on the referee is an automatic disqualification. COME ON REF! DO YOUR JOB!
James Peters: Both Holly and the referee are wondering what the hell Miku Sakai is doing. HOLLY IS NOT HAPPY, SO THE REFEREE JUST GOT SHOVED OUT THE WAY BY HOLLY ARROW AS MIKU SAKAI HITS FEEL THY WRATH!! WHAT A CHEAP SHOT!! MIKU JUST USED THOSE NAILS OF HERS TO CLAW THE SHIT OUT OF HOLLY’S EYES! HOLLY TRYING TO TAKE THE STING OUT BEFORE A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN TAKES HOLLY DOWN TO THE MAT AS HOLLY HOLDS HER EYES IN PAIN! MIKU SAKAI STACKS HER UP FOR THE PIN! SHOULDERS DOWN!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Look at that!! Miku put her feet on the ropes. What a shocker!! She’s cheating again!
TWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: THE REF CAUGHT THE FEET ON THE ROPES!!! MIKU SAKAI TRIED TO STEAL THE WIN HERE BUT THE REF CAUGHT HER CHEATING! THE REF STOPPED COUNTING AND MIKU IS WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) Count.
Referee: (off-mic) Your feet are on the ropes.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) Count!
Referee: (off-mic) YOUR FEET ARE ON THE ROPES!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) COOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNTTTTT!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: What in the hell is that? She sounds like a dying cat coughing up its last hairball with all that screaming!
James Peters: She can scream all she wants, but the referee isn’t going to make the count with Miku’s feet on the ropes. MIKU STILL ISN’T LISTENING AND HER FEET ARE STILL ON THE ROPES! LOOK AT THE REFEREE! THE REF JUST KICKED MIKU SAKAI’S FEET OFF THE ROPES AND MIKU IS IN SHOCK!!! MIKU IS PISSED AND SHE IS GETTING IN THE REFEREE’S FACE! THE REFEREE HAS GIVEN BOTH WOMEN A LOT OF LEEWAY IN THIS MATCH SO MIKU SHOULDN’T PRESS YOUR LUCK!
Persephone: Midget bitch will have to stand on her tiptoes to manage that! While she’s doing all this damn arguing, she could be fighting and ending this ugly ass catfight!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING REFEREE! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SIMP!! USING ANY EXCUSE THEY CAN TO TOUCH ME! KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM ME, YOU FUCKING PERVERT!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI IS SHOVING THE REFEREE TO MAKE HER POINT! BUT WHILE SHE IS DOING ALL THIS FIGHTING, HOLLY ARROW HAS RECOVERED AND CAUGHT MIKU SAKAI IN A BACKSLIDE PIN!! SAKAI’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! HOLLY LOOKING TO STEAL IT!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!!
James Peters: MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT AND NOW HOLLY GOES FOR THE INSIDE CRADLE AND ROLLS UP MIKU AGAIN IN HOPES OF THE QUICK VICTORY!!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
THHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT AGAIN!! SAKAI ON HER KNEES AND NOW HOLLY WITH AN OKLAHOMA ROLL!! SAKAI ROLLED UP FOR A THIRD TIME! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AGAIN!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
THHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: ONCE AGAIN, MIKU SAKAI KICKS OUT!! SHE’S NOT A FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION FOR NOTHING, BUT YOU GOTTA GIVE HOLLY ARROW A LOT OF CREDIT!! SHE GOT THREE REALLY CLOSE NEAR FALLS IN ABOUT ONE MINUTE! SHE IS PULLING OUT ALL STOPS TO WIN THIS MATCH AND I DOUBT SHE IS FINISHED YET!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Not bad. Not as good as the Doctor, but she’s showing a lot more than I was expecting.
Rich Russillo: So, Doctor, what are your opinions on this match thus far?
Dr. Bethany Blue: This has been a pretty competitive match. I really don’t care personally for either of these two, but I can admit this match has been pretty good to watch.
Persephone: Stop lying to make them feel good. Also, I don’t expect much from you either, so it’s nice to know you have something in common with your opponents. Don’t feel bad when you lose your title.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Well, if you keep running your mouth, I will get Regyna here to help me surgically remove your tongue and tie it around your neck.
Persephone: No need to get hostile. *whispers* Dr. Bethany Bitch.
(Dr. Bethany Blue rolls her eyes at Persephone.)
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow is still on the attack with a swinging neckbreaker as they both get back to their feet. NOW HOLLY ARROW IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE’S YELLING FOR MIKU TO GET UP!! SLOWLY MIKU RISES AND HOLLY JUMPS AND HITS THE HOLLY GO ROUND!! DAMN, HOLLY GOT ALL OF THE HOLLY GO ROUND AND MIKU CATCHES ALL OF HOLLY’S WEIGHT RIGHT ON THE CHEST!! HOLLY ARROW LEANS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! HOLLY IS GOING FOR THE UPSET!!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!

THHHHHRRRREEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: MIKU SAKAI GETS THE SHOULDER UP!! I MEAN SHE BARELY GOT THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! HOLLY ARROW IS IN SHOCK!! SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD THE MATCH WON!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: That was really close. I’ll admit that, but Holly needs to not have a psychotic breakdown right now and just get the job done.
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI IS STILL DOWN AND HOLLY LOOKING TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO FINISH OFF MIKU SAKAI! HOLLY ARROW IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE ONCE AGAIN!! SHE IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VIVA LA ARROW! HERE SHE GOES!!
Persephone: Don’t you think Holly needs to stop going to the top rope. Miku’s going to figure it out and counter her. What a dumbass!
James Peters: FOR ONCE, PERSEPHONE CALLED IT RIGHT! VIVA LA ARROW DIDN’T WORK! HOLLY MIGHT HAVE WENT FOR THE SPINAL TAP ONE TIME TOO MANY! MIKU SAKAI ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!! HOLLY WITH AN UGLY CRASH AND BURN LANDING!! MIKU NOW WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE DRAGGING HOLLY TO HER FEET BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AS MIKU PUTS HOLLY IN THE CUTTER POSITION!! INSTEAD SHE FLIPS BACKWARDS AND PLANTS HER!!
Persephone: Former Batbitch got what she deserves. Birdbrain needs to learn to not fly so much!
Rich Russillo: THAT’S THE DEATH NOTE! DEATH NOTE CONNECTS!! MIKU SAKAI’S VERSION OF THE ASAI DDT CATCHES HOLLY ARROW AND THE BACK OF HOLLY’S HEAD BOUNCED HARD OFF THE CANVAS! HOLLY ARROW MIGHT BE OUT COLD!! DID HOLLY JUST RECEIVE HER FINAL NOTE OF THE MATCH? SHE MIGHT HAVE AS MIKU SAKAI GOING FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!!

Rich Russillo: REFEREE IS CALLING FOR THE BELL! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Age-Age Money” starts playing again as Miku Sakai rolls off of Holly Arrow to boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…MIKU SAKAI!
(The referee tries to raise the hand of Miku, but Hikari Kanno rolls into the ring and yells at the ref to back off as Hikari raises Miku’s hand herself.)
James Peters: That was a hell of a match. Both ladies brought so much to the table tonight, but it is Miku Sakai who walks out with the victory. What do you think about your next challenger now, Doctor?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I guess I stand corrected a little bit. I guess she can wrestle on her own without her buddy.
Rich Russillo: But we really can’t take anything away from Holly Arrow. She put forth an amazing effort in this match and she almost had the match won on more than one occasion. She’s got a bright future in EAW and this match could go a long way in showing Hikari Kanno that she has earned a spot on the Women’s Divide and Conquer team.
Persephone: Who cares. I’m just glad that this match is over!
(Miku Sakai walks over to the side of the ring where the announce table is and leaves the ring with Hikari following and stands across the table from the Doctor.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) What do you think about that? I told you to keep watch of this match!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Yeah! Yeah! You won that match on your own. Good for you, but beating me will be a completely different story.
(Miku and Dr. Bethany gives each other a staredown with Hikari not far behind glaring at Bethany as the Doctor raises the Specialists Championship.)
James Peters: Just from watching that little exchange, it’s obvious that things are just beginning between Dr. Bethany Blue and Miku Sakai.
(Dr. Bethany puts the title back on her shoulder as Miku and Hikari leave and head back up the ramp as Bethany still has a look of anger on her face.)
Rich Russillo: The tension is a little high, but once again congrats to Miku Sakai on picking up the victory here tonight. And thank you, Dr. Bethany Blue for joining us on commentary.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Thank you, Rich. It was a pleasure to be here with you and James. Persephone, not so much.
Persephone: You can leave now. I think you overstayed your welcome.
(Dr. Bethany Blue takes off the headset and leaves the announce table as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Voltage cuts to a PSA warning everyone of the dangers of Jake Smith’s pet Josh. He’s just not a very good dog.)
( Voltage fades back in from break and as it does, “It Has Begun” by Starset begins to blast across the PA system. The crowd reacts with a bit of a surprise seeing that apparently the Unified Tag Team Champions have shown up here tonight on Voltage! )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT!!!
( The couple smile at one another before they make their way down to the ring. )
Rich Russillo: It was just last week that Harlow Reichert and Xaver Williams sat at this desk and watched their challengers, Candice Blair and Danny Tanner, pull off a monumental upset. The highly dysfunctional team of Jake Smith and Holly Arrow just couldn’t put their differences aside long enough to make it work, and it cost them dearly.
Persephone: I mean how fucking shitty do you have to be to lose to a creepy wrestling fan and a blow up doll? Jake and Holly should probably just kill themselves because I know I fucking would if Danny Tanner threw his blob-like body over top of me and held me down for three seconds.
James Peters: :mjlol: Danny pinning the number one contender to the EAW World Championship is a hell of a thing to imagine, let alone actually see happen, but here we are. The tag team match last week was a wild ride of ups and downs for both teams, and it had an ending that I am sure none of us will ever forget :wow:
( With the champs inside the ring, microphones in hand, Xavier’s theme music fades out. They both take a moment to collect their thoughts before Xavier decides to speak first. )
Xavier Williams: Territorial Invasion is one week away and I’m still not sure if Harlow and I are supposed to take Danny Tanner and Candice Blair seriously or not. As someone who’s pretty much seen it all and done it all in this business, I can say that honestly anything can happen on any given day. Perhaps something could go horrifically wrong at Territorial Invasion and Danny and Candice can do the unthinkable…
Harlow Reichert: But yea… the odds of that happening aren’t really that great. I don’t have anything really negative to say about Candice Blair. I’ve faced her before and she’s always been someone who’s given me an incredible fight. I enjoy stepping into the ring against someone who’s as hungry as I am and wants to continue getting better inside the ring. Regardless of her side projects and this whole album nonsense, I know that Candice Blair has a switch that she is able to quickly flip whenever the bell rings, and there’s no doubt in my mind that she will bring the fight to Territorial Invasion. However…
Xavier Williams: :mjgrin: However, I really can’t say the same thing about her tag team partner. Look, we all have to start somewhere, but Danny Tanner getting thrown into this situation well before he’s ready is nothing more than a disservice to him. Competing at Bloodsport might have given him some experience on a bigger stage, but Territorial Invasion is taking place inside of Tiger Stadium in front of 90,000 people. That’s roughly 180,000 eyes, give or take, staring at you, judging you, and watching your every move. This is set to be the biggest crowd someone like Danny Tanner has ever been in front of, and quite frankly, I expect him to crack under the pressure. That’s why I don’t entirely understand why the EAW Universe seems to believe that Danny pinning Jake Smith is a sign that this team, a team that was randomly put together via a lottery of all things, is suddenly firing on all cylinders. You could have paired any two Elitists together, regardless of the experience level and actual talent, and they would have been able to defeat Jake Smith and Holly Arrow last week. Smith and Arrow were a disaster waiting to happen and their underlying issues with one another finally boiled over and reached a breaking point, allowing Candice to take advantage.
Harlow Reichert: Anyone could have won under those circumstances. I’m not really understanding how people don’t see that. Jake and Holly gave the match away, and that victory for Candice and Danny hasn’t proven anything to either of us. Xavier and I aren’t going to fall apart mid-match. We aren’t going to argue with one another. We’re together because this is what we want, and we are the Unified Tag Team Champions because this is what we care about. An inexperienced team, with one match together that resulted in a controversial victory, is never going to have what it takes to dethrone us for our championships. The very thought of that is absolutely ridiculous.
( “Loser” by Charles Hamilton begins to blast across the PA system, and this causes the crowd to absolutely erupt. It’s easy to see that Danny Tanner, the man who emerges from behind the guerilla curtain with a microphone in hand, has completely won over the EAW Universe. )
Persephone: Wow. These dumb fucks will cheer for absolutely anyone. Danny Tanner is a glorified sex pest and these people are treating him like he is the second coming of Jesus Christ.
James Peters: I definitely wouldn’t go as far as calling Danny a sex pest. I just think he is an impressionable young man who is experiencing real life for the first time.
Rich Russillo: His obsession for women is a little creepy, James…
James Peters: :lupe: Don’t you think that just stems from the fact he is a virgin?
Persephone: Yuck.
( Harlow and Xavier are clearly amused that Danny would come out, and Harlow even steps down on the ropes, inviting Danny into the ring. The up and coming Voltage Elitist looks unsure of himself, and pauses on the ramp. He takes a look around the crowd, and every single fan inside the State Farm Arena urge him to get into the ring. Xavier Williams can’t help but roll his eyes at the display of admiration the fans seem to have for Danny, but Harlow remains focused on one of their Territorial Invasion opponents. Danny takes a deep breath and continues down to the ring, but once he starts up the steps, he pauses to look at Harlow. )
Harlow Reichert: What are you waiting for Danny?
( She is clearly taunting him and Danny hesitates, before Harlow lets go of the ropes and takes a step back. She gestures for him to get into the ring, and finally Danny does. He clutches his microphone and allows his theme music to die down. )
Danny Tanner: 😅😅 Well you know, I wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction at all. Wow. Thank you all for the love and support. I have to say, I am feeling kind of high after the win last week. Candice is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life and to work alongside her last week, and not completely disappoint her is a victory in itself.
( Harlow and Xavier exchange looks with one another, almost as if they can’t believe this is what Danny is talking about right now. )
Danny Tanner: The actual win was just icing on the cake. I mean, I pinned Jake Smith!
( The crowd pops loudly for that, which seems to give Danny a little jolt of confidence. )
Danny Tanner: Maybe I should be the one facing Drake King for the EAW World Championship at COCK!
Harlow Reichert & Xavier Williams: :mjlol:
( The crowd breaks out into a ‘yes’ chant, and Danny grins from ear-to-ear. )
Danny Tanner: Imagine me as a champion!
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Xavier Williams: Okay, no. Just no. Danny Tanner as a champion of any kind just doesn’t make any sense.
( The crowd doesn’t like this and they let Xavier know about it. Again, the Hall of Famer just rolls his eyes, because this whole situation is obviously not worth his time. )
Danny Tanner: Well, if you ask the members of the EAW Universe, they think it makes sense, and who am I to argue with that?
( A cheeky little smile crosses Danny’s face. )
Danny Tanner: I get that it seems outrageous to think someone like me could come into EAW and immediately win a championship, but stranger things have happened. I’m not going to get ahead of myself and declare victory, but with a partner like Candice, how can I lose? She is beautiful, and she is smart, and knows exactly how to get the job done inside the ring. You could view last week as a fluke for us, but I think it shows how smart we are. We both went into the match knowing that Jake Smith and Holly Arrow would combust sooner rather than later, and we took the fight to them from the get go. We made sure to stay in the match, and even though I was nervous at first, I got my head together and did my part too. When Jake and Holly forgot about us, we seized the moment. Candice took out Jake, and then graciously allowed me to secure the victory, and it’s not like that’s the first example of the two of us being able to catch our opposition off guard.
Harlow Reichert: Are you referencing Dynasty when you came out to the ring, and then Candice Blair attacked us from behind like a coward? I may respect her, but all you two did that night was prove how desperate you are to get the upper-hand.
Danny Tanner: :umad: All is fair, right?
Xavier Williams: If that’s what helps you sleep at night, man. I guess when you’re you, and you are looking up at a Hall of Famer and his protege, who is just as good as he is, there really isn’t much else you can do other than attack from behind and cling to a victory that will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks. There’s nothing wrong with believing that you have a chance, but at some point you are going to have to be realistic about your chances to walk away victorious at Territorial Invasion. The odds aren’t in your favor. You don’t have the experience to get through a match of this caliber in front of 90,000 fans.
Harlow Reichert: And that’s because you’re weak and you’re fragile, and there’s no doubt that you are going to crack under the pressure of this kind of match. Trust me, I get it. I have been in your shoes, and it’s not easy to overcome the odds. I say this knowing that even when I first started in this sport, I was still better than you could ever dream of being. I’m not the type of competitor to tell someone to give up and go home. I want to compete at Territorial Invasion even if it’s against you and Candice Blair, because unlike the so-called reigning champions we have in EAW, Xavier and I want to defend our titles. We want the competition. But I just really question what you have to give.
Danny Tanner: That’s fine if you wish to question me, because at Territorial Invasion you’ll be proven wrong when Candice and I pull off the upset and take those Unified Tag Team Championships from you.
( Xavier just shakes his head. )
Xavier Williams: Really?
( Danny nods. )
Danny Tanner: Really.
Xavier Williams: I find that hard to believe. Are you sure you’re even ready for something like this?
( Danny goes to reply, but stops to think for a moment. One thing Harlow and Xavier have gotten right is the fact he does lack the experience. He has never competed in front of a massive crowd before, and deep down, he absolutely doubts his ability to get the job done. In fact, Danny doesn’t see how he has a chance at winning this match and it kills him to think that he might let Candice down in the process. )
Danny Tanner: Yes. I’m ready.
Harlow Reichert: I call B.S.
( Danny raises an eyebrow. )
Harlow Reichert: You’re not even close to ready. If I were to give you a chance to take me on right now, you wouldn’t be able to get the job done.
Danny Tanner: Are you challenging me?
Harlow Reichert: I mean, why not? I didn’t come here to wrestle tonight, but I’m always ready for whatever comes my way. Prove that you’re ready for Territorial Invasion. Prove that you’re ready to stand up against a champion. Prove to everyone here tonight that you and Candice deserve this tag team championship match.
( This has caught Danny off guard, however the crowd is all for it. They instantly back Danny, urging him to accept the challenge that Harlow Reichert has laid out. )
Danny Tanner: O-Okay.
( There’s a huge pop from the crowd and Harlow turns to Xavier with a smirk across her face. The conversation the two champions are having isn’t caught by the cameras, but it’s clear that Xavier is questioning his girlfriend about the challenge she just put forth. She assures him that she’s more than ready and begins pulling her hair back. )
Persephone: I legitimately can not believe we are about to have a match here. I don’t want to fucking see Danny Tanner wrestle Harlow Reichert.
James Peters: Well believe it, because we have a referee coming down to the ring, and Harlow has passed her half of the tag titles to Xavier and taken off her earrings!
Rich Russillo: I guess when we come back from break, Danny will be taking on the former PURE Champion!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( The sound of the bell ringing sends Voltage to commercial break right as Harlow and Danny lock up in the middle of the ring. )
( Commercial break for Campbell’s Soup starring Jake Smith. Needless to say, he can’t even heat it up properly in the microwave. )
( Voltage returns with Harlow having Danny pinned in the corner. )
James Peters: Welcome back to Voltage! Right before we cut away for break, Danny Tanner and Harlow Reichert agreed to an impromptu match two weeks before Territorial Invasion! Xavier Williams questioned whether or not Danny was ready for a match of this caliber, and when Danny boldly answered ‘yes’, Harlow was quick to challenge him on it. Danny reluctantly agreed to this match and so far, it’s been all Harlow Reichert!
Rich Russillo: I’m not surprised when you consider that Harlow Reichert is one of the very best in the world. She’s taken on plenty of Hall of Famers and main eventers and come out victorious.
( Harlow continues to work Danny over in the corner, driving her knee into his abdomen, and throwing forearm after forearm. Danny is completely rocked by the shots, seeing stars, and Harlow quickly whips him across the ring! Danny’s slams into the opposite corner, back first, and Harlow sprints towards him, nailing him with a running European uppercut! She drags Danny out of the corner and spikes him into the mat with a DDT! She goes for the cover while Xavier encourages her from the outside. )
Persephone: Two count for Harlow, which kind of sucks. It’s bad enough I have to sit through all the advertised shit, but now this surprise match? I would rather have a fucking lobotomy. I fucking miss, Rex. Voltage just isn’t the same :will:.
James Peters: Harlow wisely stays on Danny Tanner, keeping him grounded with a headlock. The fans inside the State Farm Arena are solidly behind the newcomer though. Danny is clearly feeling their energy, relishing in their support, and he is doing everything he can to fight his way to his feet.
( Danny is definitely feeling the crowd, reaching up and motioning for them to get louder. The louder they get, the more confidence he gains, and when he forces himself and Harlow to stand, the crowd erupts! )
Rich Russillo: Danny Tanner is making a comeback in this match! He elbows Harlow in the stomach, which frees him from her clutches and he runs the ropes! Danny comes flying at the champ, taking her down with a huge clothesline, and it’s obvious that he is feeling this! Danny throws his hands up, urging the crowd to continue cheering, and he waits as Harlow backs herself against the ropes! Danny with a running start and he nails Harlow with a basement style dropkick! The back of her head snaps against the ropes and Danny pulls her into the center of the ring for a pin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTT-
James Peters: HARLOW WITH A KICK OUT! Danny Tanner was literal milliseconds away from scoring a huge upset, and look at Xavier Williams right now! He’s completely beside himself!
( Xavier bangs on the apron, urging his partner to get up, and a dazed Harlow slowly rises to her feet. She’s on spaghetti legs and Danny quickly grabs her, planting her in the middle of the ring with a huge spinebuster! Harlow attempts to roll towards the apron, but Danny stops her, and tosses her into the corner. He beats Harlow down until she’s in a sitting position, and backs up to the opposite corner! )
Rich Russillo: DANNY TANNER WITH RUNNING SHOTGUN STYLE KNE-
Persephone: TO THE EMPTY CORNER! DANNY CRASHES AND BURNS BECAUSE HARLOW MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!
James Peters: The pure wrestler has a target now! She goes right for Danny Tanner’s knees! Rolling kneebar submission applied by Harlow! Danny Tanner might not have any choice but to tap out!
( Harlow holds onto the kneebar, looking to injure one of her opponents for Territorial Invasion. The pain is obvious as Danny withers around, looking for a way out. He does his best to break the hold, but it’s no use. Harlow is a technician through and through, and once a wrestler finds themselves locked in one of her submissions, it’s extremely hard to reverse them. )
Rich Russillo: The absolute heart of Danny Tanner is what’s allowing him to hang on right now. I have no idea how he is withstanding this kneebar right now. It’s clear that Harlow Reichert intends to dislocate Danny’s knee right here in this match.
Persephone: That’s why this match is so fucking stupid. How the hell are you going to jeopardize your chance to get your ass beat on free-per-view in front of literally a million fans by wrestling one of your opponents in a dumb match like two weeks before??
James Peters: I think Danny wants to show the world that he is a fighter and he isn’t going to let people like Harlow and Xavier push him around.
( Danny somehow finds a way to get himself to the ropes and his fingertips manage to curl around the bottom one. The referee immediately orders Harlow to break and she is in complete disbelief that Danny has been able to withstand the hold. The referee begins the count, and Harlow breaks at four, slowing getting up, and then dropping a few stomps down onto Danny’s knee. She brushes her hair out of face and leans down, pulling Danny up and peppering him with forearm shots! She pins him against the ropes, knees him in the gut, drops an elbow to the back of his neck, and then drives her knee into his face! Danny crumbles to the mat and Harlow goes for a figure four! )
Rich Russillo: Danny Tanner now finds himself locked in a second submission hold! Harlow seems content to keep him grounded, and keep working over that leg. Danny somehow managed to survive a kneebar, but I don’t know if it’s smart for him to continue fighting. The tag team championship match at Territorial Invasion is more important than this match right now, and Danny really needs to think of the bigger picture.
James Peters: Does he, Rich? Danny is able to reverse the figure four and now it’s Harlow who finds herself in trouble! The Dynasty Elitist has no choice but to untangle herself from Danny, and that allows Danny to roll to the apron! Harlow is quick to regroup but as she reaches through the ropes, Danny catches her with a sucker punch! Harlow is momentarily stunned! Danny uses the ropes to pull himself up, and he launches himself over the top rope, bringing Harlow down into a sunset flip pin!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTT-
Persephone: Oh brother.
( Harlow has gotten her shoulder up, but Danny keeps his cool. He tunes out Xavier cheering Harlow on, but he does allow himself to feel the energy of the crowd. He grabs the champion up by her hair and tosses her into the corner. Danny goes for a big boot, but he misses! He turns around right as Harlow is up, and he manages to get out of the way of her corner clothesline attempt! Harlow slams chest first into the corner and Danny quickly rolls her up! Harlow rolls through, and both competitors are up at the same time! Harlow goes for a right hand but Danny blocks it, catches her in the jaw with a forearm, and looks to hook her for a suplex! Harlow is able to block, but Danny blocks her attempt at a suplex! It’s Harlow who pulls away and goes for a kick, but Danny catches her foot and snaps her to the mat! )
Rich Russillo: DANNY TANNER WITH AN ANKLE LOCK! DANNY TANNER WITH AN ANKLE LOCK!
James Peters: HARLOW IS USING HER TO FREE LEG TO NAIL DANNY IN THAT DAMAGED KNEE! DANNY HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO LET GO AND HE IS GRABBING HIS KNEE! DANNY IS HOLDING HIS KNEE AND HARLOW IS SIZING HIM UP!
Rich Russillo: FLYING KNEE STRIKE! HARLOW’S SET UP FOR ‘LES MISERABLES’!!!
Persephone: IT DOES NOT CONNECT!
( A shocked Harlow manages to hit the brakes before crashing into the ropes, and Danny is quick to take advantage! He grabs Harlow from behind and rolls her up, stacking all his weight down onto her shoulders! )
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Persephone: LMAO WHAT???
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… DANNY TANNER!!!
( An absolutely shocked Danny quickly releases Harlow and scrambles to his feet. The referee quickly grabs Danny’s hand as ‘Loser’ begins to blast over the PA system. Harlow is on her knees, looking at Xavier with a look of absolute disbelief on her face. She clearly can’t fathom that someone like Danny Tanner just straight up beat her. )
James Peters: Holy shit! What an absolute upset! Danny Tanner just defied all odds and defeated one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions here on Vol-
( James’ voice is drowned out by a chorus of jeers as Harlow takes Danny out with a running knee to the face! He crashes to the mat and Harlow drops down on top of him and begins beating the absolute hell out of him. )
Rich Russillo: What a poor display of sportsmanship by Harlow Reichert! Danny Tanner just won this match fair and square and she is taking her frustration out on him.
( Harlow continues wailing away on Danny, while Xavier watches on, a little unsure of what to make of Harlow’s outburst. With Danny on the brink of unconsciousness, Harlow locks in the twister! The crowd suddenly erupts in cheers, because Danny’s partner has come to save the day! )
James Peters: HERE COMES CANDICE BLAIR WHO WAS KNOCKED OUT EARLIER TONIGHT BY HER CLASH OF KINGDOM’S OPPONENT, ASHLEY FLORES! SHE SLIDES INTO THE RING AS XAVIER PULLS HARLOW OUT, AND HARLOW FIGHTS AGAINST HIM! XAVIER MUSCLES HARLOW AWAY FROM THE RING AND GETS HER UP THE RAMP, FINALLY LETTING HER GO AND TELLING HER TO WALK AWAY.
( Harlow glares down at the ring as Candice, who sports a nasty bruise along her jaw, pulls Danny into her arms and comforts him. Candice looks down the ramp and shakes her head in disappointment. Clearly she’s not impressed with the turn of events tonight. Xavier sighs, and turns his back to the scene inside the ring, trying to lock eyes with Harlow. She is still staring down Candice and Danny, so he gently takes her arm and escorts her to the back as the scene fades into a commercial break. )
(Commercial promoting Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert versus Candice Blair and Danny Tanner for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Territorial Invasion.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton stands in the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen…. The following contest is a BRAND WARFARE PREVIEW MATCH… AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil hits, and the crowd immediately explodes as Amir Yusuf makes his way out to the stage. He’s not a member of the Voltage roster, but he’s a big fan favorite so he’s being cheered by the entire crowd. Amir has a focused look on his face despite looking around at the big audience, knowing that he has a huge match ahead of him. Amir continues making his way to the ring as the fans continue showing their support, and from there Bella Braxton begins to speak.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Chicago, Illinois…. Weighing in at 182 pounds….. AAMMMIIRRRRRRRRR YYYUUUUUUUSSUUFFF!!!!!!!
James Peters: And here comes Showdown’s Amir Yusuf! As we all know Amir is a member of Showdown’s Brand Warfare team, and right now he has a huge preview match ahead of him!
Rich Russillo: Don’t forget he asked for this. I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight, but Amir prepared himself for this match and that’s not something that should be ignored! If anything, Jamie O’Hara could be underestimating him a bit too much!
Persephone: Whatever… I hate that they actually brought someone from another brand just for some dumb match, but whatever.
(‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin [Paratus] hits, and the cheering continues, even growing louder than before. Jamie O’Hara slowly begins walking out to the stage, and he has his eyes focused on his opponent who’s inside of the ring in his corner. As Jamie looks directly at Amir, he begins walking down the ramp, making his way towards the ring. Jamie’s already said everything he needed to, and you can see from Amir’s face that even he understands just how much of a challenge this match is going to be.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent…. Residing in Los Angeles, California… Weighing in at 190 pounds…. JAAAAMMMIIEEEEE O’HHAAAARRRAAAAAAA!!!!
James Peters: And here’s the team Captain for Voltage’s Brand Warfare team, Jamie O’Hara! You’ve gotta wonder if Amir Yusuf is ready for this. There’s being talented, which Amir definitely is, and then there’s Jamie O’Hara.
Rich Russillo: I guess we’ll have to see, but I do know that this will definitely be a great match either way. Both of them knew this was coming since last week, and it looks like they are both prepared for what’s to come!
Persephone: Whatever… Let’s just get on with this already. We still have another match. I don’t wanna be here all day.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And here we go! The Brand Warfare preview match between Jamie O’Hara and Amir Yusuf is on! Amir Yusuf seems to understand just how big this match is about to be for him, and I can’t say I’m surprised by that when Amir’s the one that wanted this match! Amir seems to want a collar and elbow tie up, meanwhile Jamie O’Hara hasn’t moved out of his corner! Amir slowly beginning to approach Jamie, AND NOW THE TWO LOCK UP- AND AMIR’S QUICK TO TRY AND GET JAMIE O’HARA IN A HEADLOCK- BUT JAMIE PUSHES HIM INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: IN EXCELSI- NO! Amir Yusuf just barely managed to move out of the way, and if he didn’t then he would’ve been knocked out with the In Excelsis! Jamie O’Hara has that look on his face almost like he expected Amir to get out of the way, meanwhile I think Amir realizes that if that connected this match could’ve been over! Amir Yusuf is very talented, but this is still Jamie O’Hara he’s in the ring with! I hope Amir prepared himself as much as he could, because this is not going to be an easy match for him in the slightest!
Persephone: And it won’t be an entertaining one for us, so hopefully this one doesn’t last long.
James Peters: Both Elitists quickly lock up once again, and this time it’s Jamie that’s able to take control with the headlock! Amir Yusuf is able to power Jamie into the ropes to try and get him to bounce off of them, BUT JAMIE QUICKLY DROPS DOWN AND PULLS AMIR INTO A GROUNDED HEADLOCK! Amir is able to get his legs around Jamie’s neck though, and he pulls Jamie off of him before quickly kipping back up to his feet, AND GOING FOR AN ENZUIGIRI ON THE ACE-
Rich Russillo: WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! JAMIE DUCKED UNDER THE ENZUIGIRI, AND NOW HE GRABS AMIR BY THE WAIST! Jamie O’Hara goes for a german suplex, BUT AMIR LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND HE QUICKLY GRABS JAMIE FROM BEHIND AS SOON AS HE STARTS TO GET UP! AYC- NO! Jamie O’Hara slipped out of it as soon as Amir turned him for the rolling cutter, and Jamie pushes Amir into the ropes, BEFORE DELIVERING A SLINGBLADE TO THE MEMBER OF TEAM SHOWDOWN! Amir Yusuf manages to get back up, but he stumbles into the corner as Jamie walks towards the opposite set of turnbuckles!
James Peters: JAMIE RUNS IN, AND HE DELIVERS A RUNNING CHOP TO THE CHEST! Jamie now with a snapmare taking Amir to the mat, AND NOW JAMIE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF- NO! AMIR YUSUF MANAGED TO DUCK DOWN TO AVOID THE DROPKICK! Amir Yusuf quickly gets back to his feet as Jamie O’Hara does the same, AND NOW IT’S AMIR THAT DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO VOLTAGE’S TEAM CAPTAIN! Amir Yusuf grabs onto the ropes and pulls himself back to his feet, and now he grabs Jamie before sending him into the ropes with an irish whip!
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf bounces off of the opposite pair of ropes, and Jamie O’Hara attempted to take him out with a clothesline but it wasn’t to be! JAMIE SCOOPS AMIR YUSUF UP AS AMIR BOUNCES OFF OF THE NEXT PAIR OF ROPES- AND AMIR YUSUF MANAGES TO DROP JAMIE ON HIS HEAD WITH A FLOATOVER DDT! AMIR YUSUF NOW GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
T-
Persephone: And Jamie kicked out before two 🙄. What’s even the point of going for pins if you KNOW it’s not gonna win the match!?
James Peters: Amir Yusuf gets back to his feet as he noticies Jamie O’Hara start to sit out, AND HE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A SLIDING FOREARM TO THE FACE- BUT JAMIE IS JUST BARELY ABLE TO JUMP OUT OF THE WAY! Both Elitists quickly get back up to their feet, AND AMIR SWINGS AT JAMIE, BUT JAMIE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE PULLING AMIR FROM BEHIND BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DELIVERING A LIFT INVERTED DDT! Just like that Jamie managed to regain control of the match!
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf grabs onto the ropes to try and pull himself up, BUT JAMIE LIFTS HIM UP AND DROPS HIM ONTO A SEATED POSITION ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, DROPPING HIS THROAT ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Amir’s laid out, hanging on the middle rope right now! Amir’s able to lift himself up and grab onto the top rope to pull himself into a seated position, and I don’t think he’s gonna like what’s coming next, but he has no way to expect it as he’s facing the crowd! JAMIE O’HARA NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND HE DELIVERS A SLIDING GERMAN SUPLEX TO AMIR YUSUF!
Persephone: Alright, I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about the referee’s needing to count faster before and it’s pretty clear that they have yet to listen. If it were up to me this match would’ve already been over, because Jamie O’Hara’s been out of the ring for 5 seconds already. Where’s the bell?
James Peters: I don’t think that’d be very fair for the outside count to be that fast.
Persephone: It’d be fair for my eyes, so hurry up! Either get back into the ring and finish the match, or ring the bell!
James Peters: Well Jamie did slide back into the ring, but I doubt it had anything to do with you telling him to. Instead it looks like he has something in mind for Amir Yusuf, who’s using the turnbuckles to climb back to his feet! Amir is facing the crowd as he pulls himself back up, AND NOW JAMIE O’HARA CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A DROPKICK TO AMIR’S BACK! That was such a brutal dropkick, and now Jamie O’Hara’s going for the pin, likely to see if this match is already over with!
ONE!
TW-
James Peters: AMIR YUSUF GETS THE SHOULDER UP! That wasn’t going to get the job done, but Amir’s clearly in a lot of pain and Jamie knows that!
Rich Russillo: He does, AND THAT’S WHY THE FIRST THING HE DOES IS PULL AMIR UP AND KNEE HIM IN THE MIDSECTION! Jamie made it clear that Amir had no idea what he was really in for, and I think Amir’s starting to actually realize that! Jamie with a second knee! And a third! Jamie O’Hara now seconds Amir into the corner, AND HE CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A JUMPING BICYCLE KNEE RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF-
James Peters: IT DIDN’T CONNECT! AMIR YUSUF GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND JAMIE’S KNEE CRASHED INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! AMIR NOW CHARGING IN, AND HE DELIVERS A HUGE HURRICANRANA, DROPPING HIMSELF ONTO THE APRON AND SENDING JAMIE O’HARA OUT OF THE RING! Amir Yusuf quickly gets back to his feet as Jamie gets back up, AND AMIR DIVES OFF OF THE APRON WITH A CROSSBODY TO THE MULTIPLE TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND HALL OF FAMER! Jamie O’Hara is down, and while Amir Yusuf is a member of an opposing brand, the fans can’t seem
to deny just how talented he is! They love this!
Persephone: I’d enjoy it a lot more if the match was over.
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf sends Jamie back into the ring, and now he makes his way up to the top rope! Jamie O’Hara gets back to his feet, AND NOW- WAIT! JAMIE RUSHES OVER TO THE CORNER, SO AMIR DIVES OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET! AMIR YUSUF NOW BOUNCING OFF OF THE ROPES- BUT JAMIE O’HARA QUICKLY RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A BICYCLE KICK! Amir Yusuf’s jaw was nearly kicked right off of his head by Jamie, and that dropped the Showdown Elitist!
James Peters: Jamie O’Hara himself is still rocked though, and it’s clear that he’s feeling the effects of Amir’s offense, but Jamie is in control of this match and that’s what matters most right now! Jamie pulls Amir up in a front facelock, AND HE PULLS AMIR UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION- BUT AMIR MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF JAMIE’S GRASP AND LAND ON HIS FEET! Jamie turns around, AND AMIR GOES FOR A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI BUT THIS TIME JAMIE USES HIS ARM TO BLOCK IT! JAMIE NOW GOES FOR A KNEE LIFT TO THE SIDE OF AMIR’S HEAD, BUT AMIR QUICKLY SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET TO AVOID IT!
Rich Russillo: AMIR YUSUF CHARGES AT JAMIE, AND HE DELIVERS A FOREARM THAT SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER! Amir Yusuf runs into the opposite corner- BUT AS SOON AS AMIR BOUNCES OUT OF IT HE’S MET WITH A JOHN WOO DROPKICK BY JAMIE, SENDING AMIR CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Jamie O’Hara charged out of his own corner as soon as Amir had his back turned, and that just caused Amir to go crashing into the corner! Jamie doesn’t look like he’s finished there though!
James Peters: GALACTIC BUSTER!!! AS SOON AS JAMIE GOT BACK TO HIS FEET HE PULLED AMIR BACK UP, AND AMIR WAS JUST DROPPED WITH THAT PUMPHANDLE LUNGBLOWER! JAMIE O’HARA WITH THE COVER NOW, AND THIS MIGHT BE IT FOR AMIR YUSUF!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
James Peters: AMIR YUSUF GETS THE SHOULDER UP ONCE AGAIN!!! The crowd is on their feet, as Amir Yusuf is somehow still in this match! Amir is clearly in a lot of pain after that Galactic Buster, but this match isn’t over yet! I think we all knew that Jamie wasn’t going to make this easy for Amir, but Amir’s doing a much better job than I think he was expected to by Jamie!
Persephone: I mean he’s still on the mat regardless. Who cares if he kicked out if Jamie’s just gonna keep mopping the floor with him? There’s nothing special or amazing about this at all. Amir just sucks.
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf is grabbing onto the ropes, trying to find his way back up to his feet, AND HE’S JUST MET WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BY JAMIE! I think it might be time for Jamie to bring this match to an end!
Persephone: Finally.
James Peters: Jamie O’Hara now climbing up to the top rope, meanwhile Amir Yusuf looks like he might be done for! Amir Yusuf isn’t moving, and while Amir may have tons of potential, this might just be why Jamie had no problem accepting this challenge! Jamie O’Hara is up top now, and it looks like this really is it! GENKI CANNON!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! AMIR YUSUF JUST BARELY ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! JAMIE O’HARA MANAGES TO ROLL BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT AS SOON AS HE TURNS AROUND HE SEES AMIR YUSUF CHARGING IN!
James Peters: HELLUVA KICK!!!! AMIR YUSUF JUST HIT JAMIE O’HARA’S HEAD OFF!!! JAMIE DROPS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, AND AMIR YUSUF IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEGS!!! AMIR MIGHT BE ON THE VERGE OF PICKING UP THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER RIGHT BEFORE THE BRAND WARFARE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-
James Peters: AND NOW IT’S JAMIE THAT MANAGES TO POP THE SHOULDER UP!!! I don’t think Jamie even knows where he is following that Helluva kick though! That really came out of nowhere, and you have to think that this match would already be over against most people! This is Jamie O’Hara, and that still almost won the match!
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf is getting back to his feet, and I’m not sure if he knows what his next move is! Amir nearly had the match lost moments ago and just like that he was able to turn it around and nearly pick up the victory! It’s not often that you see things turn around in a match that quickly, so I don’t blame Amir for having to take some time to think about his next move!
Persephone: I do. He’s wasting time, when we could be moving on and coming one step closer to the show ending!
James Peters: Amir Yusuf now is pulling Jamie up, AND NOW HE LIFTS JAMIE UP FOR THE KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER, BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO JUST BARELY SLIP BEHIND AMIR! JAMIE NOW GRABS AMIR FROM BEHIND, AND HE DELIVERS A DRAGON SUPLEX!!! Both Elitists are down, but just like that Jamie managed to save himself from a move that could’ve possibly ended the match! Jamie is hurting, and that’s all because of Amir Yusuf! You have to give him credit for what he’s done tonight, even if this match isn’t over!
Persephone: Yeah… And it looks like it’s far from over :francis:.
Rich Russillo: Both Elitists are slowly finding their ways back to their feet as Amir holds onto the ropes, AND JAMIE O’HARA CHARGES IN- BUT AMIR GETS BOTH BOOTS UP- AND JAMIE CATCHES THEM! JAMIE CAUGHT BOTH OF AMIR’S LEGS, AND JAMIE NOW FLIPS AMIR OUT ONTO THE APRON! Amir manages to land on his feet, AND JAMIE GOES FOR A FOREARM, BUT AMIR BLOCKS IT BEFORE HITTING JAMIE WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! Jamie got caught with that forearm and turns around- BEFORE HITTING AMIR WITH A PELE KICK, WHICH DROPS HIM OFF OF THE APRON!
Persephone: :noah: Why couldn’t Amir have fallen on his head and broken his neck??
James Peters: Amir Yusuf didn’t have too harsh of a landing, and he’s finding his way back up to his feet, BUT I DON’T THINK JAMIE’S LOOKING TO GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK INTO THIS ONE! JAMIE O’HARA JUST RAN THE ROPES, AND HE SOARS OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE TAKING AMIR YUSUF OUT WITH A TOPE CON HILO! THE CROWD IS LOVING THIS MATCH SO FAR, AS THIS TIME IT’S JAMIE DELIVERING THE HIGH RISK MOVES! This man can really do it all!
Persephone: Except end a match in under 5 minutes apparently.
Rich Russillo: Jamie O’Hara sends Amir Yusuf back into the ring, but not completely! Jamie leaves Amir’s upper half out on the apron before climbing up onto the apron himself, AND NOW JAMIE JUMPS ONTO AMIR’S CHEST WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! AMIR YUSUF ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING HOLDING HIS CHEST, BUT JAMIE QUICKLY RE-ENTERS THE RING AND RUNS THE ROPES AS SOON AS HE SEES AMIR SITTING UP, BEFORE DELIVERING A PENALTY KICK TO THE SHOWDOWN ELITIST! Jamie’s definitely got control over this match now, and he’s really putting the hurt on Amir!
James Peters: Jamie grabs Amir by the hair and slowly pulls him back up, AND AMIR PUNCHES JAMIE IN THE MIDSECTION! That looked like a punch out of desperation, AND JAMIE DROPS AMIR WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! Amir dropped right into the corner, and Jamie just walks over to Amir before delivering a kick to the midsection! And another kick! And another one! And another! Jamie is stomping away at Amir Yusuf, and now the referee is forced to begin his count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
Rich Russillo: JAMIE LETS GO! Jamie backpedals away from the corner after breaking the count, AND NOW HE CHARGES IN BEFORE- NO! JAMIE WAS LOOKING FOR A DROPKICK IN THE CORNER TO THE SEATED AMIR, BUT AMIR DIVED OUT OF THE CORNER AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT! Amir Yusuf quickly finds his way back up as Jamie uses the corner to get back to his feet, AND NOW AMIR CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A SECOND HELLUVA KICK!!! IT CONNECT- WAIT! NO IT DIDN’T!!! JAMIE MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER THE HELLUVA KICK, BEFORE LIFTING AMIR UP INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION!
Persephone: Drop him on his neck 👏! Drop him on his neck 👏!
James Peters: Jamie carries Amir into the center of the ring, BUT HE DOESN’T GET TO DELIVER A MOVE, BECAUSE AMIR DROPS DOWN AND HITS JAMIE WITH A REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! AMIR YUSUF CONNECTS WITH THE REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER, AND NOW HE MANAGES TO PUSH JAMIE ONTO HIS BACK BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER! THIS COULD BE IT, TO WIN THE BRAND WARFARE PREVIEW MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
James Peters: JAMIE KICKS OUT!!! Jamie O’Hara manages to kick out after having his head drilled into the mat, and I’m actually a bit surprised at this point!
Persephone: Why??? He’s facing Amir Yusuf.
James Peters: I’m surprised because you can only be dropped on your head so many times until you’ve had enough, and I don’t think it matters who you are when you’re taking moves like that.
Persephone: Yeah it does. Rexy would’ve kicked out of that at one 🤷♀️.
James Peters: :francis:
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf slowly finds his way back to his feet, and he’s hurt but you could see that he’s still giving this match everything he has! He wants this win, and if he keeps going he might just have enough to get it!
James Peters: Amir Yusuf slowly makes his way out to the apron, and he’s clearly noticed that Jamie O’Hara still has yet to move following that reverse frankensteiner! Amir is doing everything he can to finish this match off, AND NOW AMIR JUMPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE DELIVERING A SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH, WHICH CONNECTS….
Rich Russillo: ONTO JAMIE O’HARA’S KNEES!!! AMIR YUSUF LANDED ON JAMIE’S KNEES!!! JAMIE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO GET THE KNEES UP TO AVOID THE SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH!! THAT WOULD’VE BEEN IT! THAT WOULD’VE BEEN THE END!
Persephone: :mjlol:
James Peters: Amir rolls off of Jamie’s knees, and he’s definitely feeling the effects of that 450 splash! Amir really was trying to bring this match to an end, but he had to have considered that Jamie would’ve had something up his sleeve! Stuff like this is why we rarely see Jamie come up short, he always knows what he’s doing! Jamie clearly had an idea on how to get out of that, and unfortunately that caused Amir to land right on Jamie’s knees! This is our Brand Warfare team captain though, and this is exactly why Voltage could be bringing the victory in Brand Warfare for the second year in a row!
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf slowly finds his way back up to his feet, BUT AS SOON AS HE’S BACK UP HE’S MET WITH A DISCUS LARIAT BY JAMIE! Jamie O’Hara stumbled a bit after delivering that lariat, and he’s clearly in pretty bad shape just like Amir, but that’s not what matters to Jamie! Jamie’s focused on one thing and one thing only. Winning this match! Jamie now backpedals towards the furthest corner from Amir, and he’s waiting for Amir to get back to his feet!
Persephone: Which must mean he’s getting ready to end this match :blessed:!!! Finally!
James Peters: Amir slowly finds his way back up, and I don’t think he even knows where he is! Amir Yusuf slowly begins to turn towards Jamie, AND NOW JAMIE O’HARA RUNS IN, LOOKING FOR THE IN EXCELSIS- WAIT NO! AMIR YUSUF AVOIDED IT AND PULLED JAMIE O’HARA DOWN INTO A SCHOOL BOY IN THE PROCESS!
ONE-
James Peters: JAMIE KICKED OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER AS AMIR YUSUF HITS JAMIE WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! AMIR YUSUF JUST KICKED JAMIE’S HEAD OFF ONCE AGAIN, AND NOW HE LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE!
Persephone: He’s not just looking to capitalize, he’s trying to actually end the match right now, which is a pleasant surprise.
Rich Russillo: Amir Yusuf is climbing up to the top rope as Jamie O’Hara has yet to move, and I don’t think Jamie has any tricks hidden up his sleeve this time! I don’t think he’s gonna be able to get the knees up, not when that superkick pretty much knocked him unconscious! AMIR YUSUF NOW IN POSITION, AND HE’S ABOUT TO GET THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER! 054!!!! THE 054 CONNECTS, IT ACTUALLY CONNECTS ON JAMIE O’HARA!!!
James Peters: AMIR WITH THE COVER!!! AMIR GOES FOR THE COVER, THAT’S IT!!!! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
James Peters: HOW!?!?!? JAMIE O’HARA GOT THE SHOULDERS UP!!!! JAMIE O’HARA JUST SURVIVED THE 054!!!! THERE’S DEFINITELY NOT MANY PEOPLE THAT COULD SURVIVE THAT MOVE, AND IF AMIR CONNECTS WITH IT IN BRAND WARFARE IT VERY WELL MAY ELIMINATE WHOEVER’S HIT WITH IT, BUT EVEN NOW JAMIE’S PROVING THAT THERE’S NOBODY QUITE LIKE HIM!
Persephone: Of course that didn’t end the match :mjlol:! Amir’s such a loser. Jamie’s no Rex, he shouldn’t be that difficult to beat.
Rich Russillo: As a Voltage member I breathed a sigh of relief seeing Jamie kick out right there! I really did think the match was over, and that’s just a testament to how well Amir Yusuf has performed tonight! James said it best, that would’ve gotten the job done against anyone else, and if you ask me.. One more big move might be enough to put Jamie away too! Jamie O’Hara’s one of the greatest of all time, but even he has his limits and we’ve seen that in the past! It’d be a huge upset, but I think Amir is very close to reaching Jamie’s limit!
James Peters: Amir Yusuf slowly pulls Jamie O’Hara back up to his feet, and he hits Jamie with a forearm! And a second one! Now it’s Amir that’s laying waste to Jamie with these forearms, BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO BLOCK ONE OF THE FOREARMS AND HIT AMIR WITH A RIGHT HAND! Jamie is on spaghetti legs, but that right hand created distance between the two as Amir stumbles back! Amir runs in though, AND HE GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! Jamie stumbles to a knee for a second, but he quickly gets back up and knees Amir in the midsection, dropping Amir to the mat!
Rich Russillo: Jamie O’Hara stumbles to the ropes, using them to stay on his feet! Jamie’s clearly hurt from the 054, but he’s doing what he can to end the match anyway! Amir Yusuf slowly gets back up, AND JAMIE CHARGES IN, BUT AMIR MANAGES TO LAND A BACK ELBOW TO JAMIE! Amir Yusuf now, GOING FOR A SUPERKICK ONCE AGAIN- ONLY THIS TIME IT DOESN’T CONNECT! JAMIE DUCKS UNDER IT, AND NOW HE GRABS AMIR FROM BEHIND, BUT AMIR DELIVERS REPEATED BACK ELBOWS TO THE JAW TO FORCE JAMIE OFF OF HIM!
Persephone: Hurry up hurry up HURRY UP! END THE MATCH ALREADY!
James Peters: Both Elitists are clearly trying to, but there’s just no way that’s happening right now! Amir Yusuf now quickly running towards Jamie O’Hara from behind, BUT JAMIE TURNS AROUND AND DELIVERS A HUGE ELBOW THAT ACTUALLY DROPS AMIR! Amir Yusuf is down, and now Jamie O’Hara quickly rushes into the corner before bouncing off of the turnbuckles, running at his opponent as he slowly starts to find his way back to his feet! JAMIE O’HARA NOW WITH-
Rich Russillo: WITH NOTHING!!! JAMIE O’HARA WAS LOOKING FOR A BIG SLINGBLADE, BUT AMIR YUSUF MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT AND THAT CAUSED JAMIE TO LAND ON THE MAT! AMIR YUSUF QUICKLY RUNS IN, AND HE DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF JAMIE’S HEAD BEFORE JAMIE COULD GET BACK UP! Jamie O’Hara’s holding the back of his head, and he might be in a lot of pain now, but I think that pales in comparison to what Amir has coming up!
Persephone: Honestly, I’ve lost all hope at this point, so I really don’t even care.
James Peters: Amir Yusuf gets Jamie O’Hara in position after picking him up from behind, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE AYC!!!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! JAMIE PUSHES AMIR AWAY AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME AMIR MANAGES TO RUN UP TO THE TOP ROPE!! AMIR NOW WITH A DIVING-
James Peters: IN EXCELSIS!!!! JAMIE O’HARA JUST TOOK AMIR YUSUF OUT OF THE AIR WITH IN EXCELSIS!!! THAT DEVASTATING RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE CONNECTS RIGHT TO AMIR YUSUF’S FACE, AND THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!! JAMIE PULLS AMIR AWAY FROM THE CORNER AND GOES FOR THE COVER AFTER HITTING POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL KNEES WE’LL EVER SEE!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. JAAAAMMMIIEEEEEEE O’HAAAARRRAAAA!!!!!!
(‘Kashmir’ hits, and the crowd immediately cheers as Jamie O’Hara gets back to his feet. He’s still in a bit of pain from the match, but he’s still able to stand as he has his hand raised by the referee. Jamie looks down at his future Brand Warfare opponent, clearly still feeling the effects of that match, but soon after turns his attention back towards celebrating his victory, as Jamie slowly makes his way out of the ring.)
James Peters: Jamie O’Hara gets the victory ahead of Territorial Invasion! Amir Yusuf definitely put up a fight, but I don’t think we can stress enough that this is Jamie O’Hara we’re talking about! He was chosen to be Voltage’s team Captain for a reason!
Rich Russillo: That’s right, and Territorial Invasion definitely won’t be pretty for the other two brands with the team we have lined up!
Persephone: I mean… It’s not like our team is all that impressive either. The other teams just managed to somehow pick even worse people.
(Slowly, long after Jamie is gone, Amir Yusuf gets back to his feet, and the fans continue cheering, this time applauding Amir for his performance.)
James Peters: Even if he’s a member of Showdown, I have to give credit to Amir Yusuf for his performance. He may have lost tonight, but he’ll definitely be someone to look out for come Territorial Invasion-
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL!?!? IS THAT!?!? IT IS!!!!
Persephone: It’s Ryan Wilson :mjlol2:!!
James Peters: RYAN WILSON JUST ATTACKED AMIR YUSUF FROM BEHIND!!! RYAN JUMPED THE BARRICADE AND ENTERED THE RING BEFORE ATTACKING AMIR, AND NOW THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS ALL OVER AMIR!!! THERE’S NO WAY AMIR YUSUF COULD’VE EXPECTED THIS, NOT RIGHT AFTER THE MATCH HE JUST HAD WITH JAMIE!!!!
Rich Russillo: AMIR IS FIGHTING BACK!! AMIR MANAGED TO TAKE RYAN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS GO BACK AND FORTH ON THE MAT TRADING PUNCHES WITH EACH OTHER! Ryan Wilson lost to Jake Smith earlier tonight, and it looks like Ryan’s taking out that anger on Amir, or at least he’s trying to! Amir’s not going down without a fight! Both Elitists are going back and forth as they continue to fight, and this is what things have come to only weeks before they’ll actually get the chance to meet in the ring!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson pushes Amir Yusuf off of him, AND BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET, BUT AMIR STRIKES FIRST AS HE HITS A SUPERKICK! Amir now sends Ryan into the corner before charging in-
Rich Russillo: BUT RYAN MANAGES TO HIT AMIR WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE, AND AMIR STUMBLES DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Amir is still exhausted after his match against Jamie, and I think Ryan’s about to capitalize off of that as Amir slowly finds his way back up! AMIR, LOOK OUT! RYAN TAKES OFF TAKES OFF THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE HITTING AMIR IN THE FACE WITH IT!!! AMIR YUSUF IS DOWN, AND NOW RYAN DROPS THE CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE PULLING AMIR BACK UP!
James Peters: MIC DROP!!!! THE MIC DROP CONNECTS ON AMIR YUSUF, AND RYAN WILSON JUST SENT A HUGE MESSAGE TO AMIR, JUST WEEKS BEFORE BOTH TERRITORIAL INVASION AND CLASH OF KINGDOMS!!!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon hits, and the crowd begins booing heavily for Ryan Wilson after taking out Amir Yusuf following such a match. Ryan doesn’t care about the boos at all though, and simply picks up his New Breed Championship before raising it over Amir’s body. As Ryan stands over Amir, Voltage begins to fade away from the area.)
(Promotional ad for the first ever Stadium Stampede match at Territorial Invasion.)
(“Zombie” by Bad Wolves begins to blast through the speakers as the State Farm Arena stands up from their seats, giving the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme a powerful ovation as she walks down the ramp with a swagger and confidence that you always see from her.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… “THE RED QUEEN”…MS. EXTREME!!!!!!
James Peters: I’m trying to think of a reason for Ms. Extreme being out here, but I suppose that she is going to respond to what she saw on Dynasty. Dynasty aired a hype video for Ximena Velasquez, showcasing her heritage and how dominant of a force that she’s been on the brand, but Ms. Extreme had requested the time to be out here, so it should be interesting on what she has to say without Ximena being a presence out there.
Rich Russillo: I think that this is truly one of the first times that Ms. Extreme will be out here without her challenger inside the ring or ringside, so it should be interesting if we’ll get Ms. Extreme not holding back in anything that she says.
Persephone: I hope that this bitch makes it quick because I just want this show to be over. It’s not worth commentating without Rex.
(The camera shows Ms. Extreme already inside the ring. “Zombie” dies down, but the crowd’s positive reception of her has not. She forms a smirk on her face as she hears the crowd cheering for her. She thinks about what she wants to get across before beginning to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: One question — did any of you watch Dynasty two nights ago? Honestly, don’t answer that because I already know the answer to that. For the five people that did watch Dynasty, obviously, you all saw the video that Dynasty put on Ximena? That a cringy ass video where they tried to display her as some sort of threat to my Universal Women’s Championship. “Oooh, look at Ximena Velasquez! Look at the height of her! Look at how short Ms. Extreme is standing next to her! Oh, look at me, I’m Ximena. I’m ‘La DiOsA’ and my only personality is being tall and Hispanic! Outside of all of that, I am nothing interesting nor do I have anything to offer!” I mean, that seems to be a synopsis of what that video was all about. All you need is the part with her beating the shit out of mediocre competition and I think that you can bear yourself from going on EAW’s YouTube page and pulling out that video. You’re welcome. One of the things that I recognized in this video was her talking about her heritage and how it’s helped her provide her with the strength that she needs so far in her EAW career. She talks about how it’s going to help her at Territorial Invasion. Her heritage is something that has helped motivate her to achieve her goals, so that must mean that it’s going to help her win the Universal Women’s Championship, right?
(Ms. Extreme pretends to ponder, but the question really doesn’t require any sort of thought.)
Ms. Extreme: Yeah, I don’t believe so. Now, people in this company have never shied away from pointing out what motivates and helps them accomplish their goals. With Constance Blevins, it was her faith. For a lot of our POCs in this company, it’s their race and being the one person that was able to overcome their ‘adversities.’ For Cameron, it’s always been about family. For Ximena, it’s her heritage and by being the best damn representation for the Hispanic community that she possibly can. Newsflash: we’re all motivated by different things. Now, I’m not here to criticize anyone and shit on their motivations. Everyone’s got a story to tell, but it doesn’t make us more special than the other person. It doesn’t make us above everyone else. With Ximena’s story, it may work on someone who can’t relate to her in a heritage standing, but everyone knows who knows me and my very complicated family. My mom is from Querétaro, Mexico and the man that donated his sperm to conceive me and my sisters is from Frias, Spain. It’s an interesting combination and I’m proud of my heritage. I just don’t need to shove it down everyone’s throats every fucking second. I don’t like to bring up my personal life and my upbringing, but I will for the sake of what I saw on Dynasty.
Ms. Extreme: Now, growing up, me, my sisters, and my mom were despised by my father’s side of the family, but with me, it was harsher than my sisters. I never understood why until I got older. It was for pathetic reasoning and it was the color of my skin. Now, my father’s side had all the darker color skin. While Cameron and Consuela did inherit some skin that could pass them as ‘Hispanic’ in stereotypes, I never seem to fit their ideals of what a Latina in our family looked like. I never “looked Hispanic” enough to be considered Henrique’s child and it was made up that my mom was having an affair with someone who had my bone structure and pale skin, but it was nothing more than my father’s side starting shit. But, we were shunned from that side of the family for the longest time. I was fortunate enough to never have faced much discrimination in my personal life since I was able to “white pass.” Whenever, my mom and sisters go out, but people are always surprised when we tell them that we’re all related. Candice could look like my dad, but Cameron and Consuela always had my mom’s looks. Meanwhile, there was me, who really didn’t look like either of my parents, so questions on adoption would always raise up. :skip:
Ms. Extreme: I didn’t fit their mold of what a Hispanic woman is back in the day. I didn’t have dark skin; I had blonde hair and my sisters and I never conversed in Spanish in public. Not going to lie, it’s hilarious when assholes shit about us in Spanish, assuming that we wouldn’t understand and we hit them with “Gringa? No soy una gringa, pero eres un puto idiota.”
(Anyone who speaks Spanish could be heard popping after Ms. Extreme talking in Spanish. Despite Ms. Extreme never really showcasing her Hispanic heritage, she is shown to be quite fluent in Spanish, which is something that surprises a lot of people in the crowd tonight. She forms a smile on her face, before going back to a serious tone because the next thing that she is going to say is going to be a bit on the personal side. She’s never the one to talk about her personal life, but with this whole situation with Ximena, she feels like she may need to.)
Ms. Extreme: Despite how my sisters and I look like, my mom and for a period of time, my father, did their jobs with talking to us in Spanish on top of trying to understand English. We lived in the United States, but they wanted us to be accustomed to different customs and languages. We wanted to never turn back on something that was embedded in their DNA as wells as ours. We were blessed with us being taught that family was the most important thing in the Mexican culture. In Hispanic culture, families tend to be very close-knit, which is a huge reason for why me and my sisters are so close to each other. We are always there to help one another no matter what. We were taught not to trust anyone, but family, which is why I tend to be a lone wolf some of the time because that’s what I’ve always been taught. Well, before I REALLY go off track, I just wanted to wrap this back to the original point of Ximena’s hype video on Dynasty and that’s everyone has a story to share and that her story doesn’t make her more special than anyone else. As meaningful as this match is for different reasons, I only care about the end result and that is leaving Territorial Invasion with the Universal Women’s Championship still in my hands.
(“Recreant” by Chelsea Grin begins to play through the area as the crowd showers Ximena Velasquez with boos. The height of this woman is something to behold, but there is an aura that she carries around, which almost makes her seem like a deity. Almost like she commands attention every time that she steps into the room. Ms. Extreme’s attention is turning towards the ramp as the number one contender for the Universal Women’s Championship at Territorial Invasion walks down the ramp.)
Ximena Velasquez: That was just painful. Ms. Extreme, do us all a favor and never speak Spanish again. Seriously, you really thought that you were cute with flexing that broken Spanish in front of everyone? How about you say that to my face, pendeja?
(With that, Ximena Velasquez is already inside the ring, looking down on the Universal Women’s Champion. Ms. Extreme remains quiet, allowing Ximena the time to speak her mind. Ms. Extreme is resting casually with the championship on her shoulder as Ximena continues.)
Ximena Velasquez: What you need to understand is that Ximena Velasquez is not just “another name” to bust through. She isn’t someone that wasn’t placed in your way to get slaughtered. How out of touch can you be, Camille? You don’t think that my size is something intimidating? Well, it will be when I end our match at Territorial Invasion in a matter of seconds. I have the power to end your career between my two hands. Not only that, but I got all the power and strength to rid the world of you, pendeja. You better watch what comes out of that mouth of yours because it’s going to be your downfall. You thought that your last title defense was something? You haven’t seen what I am going to put you through at Territorial Invasion. You’ve never met a beast like me. You have never been in the ring with someone like me. Yet, you still are dumb enough to count me out? It’s one of the things that you have in common with all of these “top-ranking” Elitists in this company. You all like to parade around like you’re god and that nothing can touch you, but Camille. You’re not a God. You’re not ‘La Diosa’ like I am. You like to parade around like you’re good, but I am ‘La Diosa.’ I’m in a different league from you and it will be seen at Territorial Invasion when I snatch that Universal Women’s Championship from you. Nothing is going to stop me from going into this match with full force, ready to knock you out and leave you a bloody mess.
Ximena Velasquez: You are nothing more than a pretender, Camille when it comes to what is supposed to be our shared heritage. I am the best representation of a Hispanic woman in professional wrestling. I am what the Universal Women’s Championship needs. The championship doesn’t need someone that ‘passes’ when it comes to looking like a champion. We need someone that looks like a champion, talks like a champion, and walks like a champion. We need someone who carries herself like a champion and doesn’t resort to childish play. You need someone who is confident in who she is. You, Ms. Extreme, look like all the other white bitches who looked down their noses at someone like me. You and your sisters are all the same. You may all look different, but if there is something that brings the four of you together, it’s how you always tend to look down on women like me, who aren’t afraid to express their heritage. You tend to look down on women like me who aren’t afraid of being the best damn representation for my community. If your skin had been as dark as your father’s, you would be a victim of the discrimination that I’ve faced in the past. You would be a victim of all the racist comments that people used to tell me back in school. You wouldn’t be able to ‘pass’ as anything more than a Hispanic girl from Los Angeles. Maybe, there’s a reason why your dad’s side of the family hated you, your sisters, and your mom, Camille. Maybe, it has to be because you could walk around and go to gas stations and not be subjected to a lot of stares because you looked like someone who could steal. Maybe, it was because you were able to go on walks down your street and not have neighbors be suspicious that you’ll be doing something. Maybe, it’s because you will have things a lot easier than them, despite you being undeserving of all of that.
Ximena Velasquez: But, you will get what you deserve at Territorial Invasion when I take my place as the face of the women’s division. Meanwhile, you can take your place on the bottom of my boot, pendeja.
(Ms. Extreme forms a smirk on her face, trying to find amusement in the situation that she is in at the moment. This seems to throw Ximena Velasquez off a bit, but it really doesn’t surprise her since she almost expected the champion not to take anything that she says seriously.)
Ms. Extreme: Nah, you’re not going to do shit.
(Ximena Velasquez is doing her best to keep her composure, but there is something about the laid-back attitude of Ms. Extreme that is pissing her off. There, Ximena was talking about why Ms. Extreme shouldn’t overlook her while making things personal towards the champion, but she just brushed it off. Ximena cracks a smile before continuing.)
Ximena Velasquez: Are you really going to keep lying to these people, Camille? First, you lie about not seeing me as anything worthy of facing you. But, it doesn’t shock me that lying is all that you’ve been accustomed to. I mean, your parents have lied to you about your actually being part of the Ava Family and used that little cover-up story to hide the fact that you’re adopted —
James Peters: MS. EXTREME WITH A RIGHT HOOK AS THAT TAKES BACK XIMENA VELASQUEZ! XIMENA GOES TO SWING ONE OF HER RIGHT HOOKS, BUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION DUCKS AS SHE GETS A COUPLE OF PUNCHES INTO THE FACE OF HER CHALLENGER, BUT XIMENA SHOVES MS. EXTREME BACK INTO THE ROPES! Ms. Extreme runs towards Ximena with a running crossbody, but Ximena catches her and prevents the running crossbody from connecting! She throws the champion back with a pump handle suplex! The champion goes flying across the ring! Now, you see that Ximena Velasquez is charging towards the challenger at the corner with a spear—
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme jumps out of the way as Ximena Velasquez goes crashing to the corner! Ximena’s shoulder crashes onto the corner as you can see the pain on her face! MS. EXTREME GETS HER HANDS ON ONE OF THE MICROPHONES THAT SHE USED AND BEGINS TO BLAST HER CHALLENGER AT TERRITORIAL INVASION IN THE HEAD OF IT! YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF BLOOD ESCAPING FROM HER SKILL AS MS. EXTREME CONTINUES TO KNOCK HER SENSELESS WITH THE MICROPHONE!
Persephone: Not gonna lie, but this is kind of funny. 😂😂😂
James Peters: Ximena Velasquez shoves Ms. Extreme back as she tries to get herself to her feet! Ms. Extreme rushes towards ‘La Diosa’ with running headscissors, but Ximena picks herself up while spinning Ms. Extreme around, BUT LOOK AT THAT, SHE GETS THE CHAMPION IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB AS SHE THROWS HER OUT OF THE RING LIKE SHE’S COMPLETELY NOTHING AT ALL! XIMENA EXITS THE RING AS SHE GOES TO RETRIEVE MS. EXTREME, BUT MS. EXTREME IS HEADED TOWARDS THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA! XIMENA GOES TO PULL MS. EXTREME OUT OF THE RUBBLE, BUT MS. EXTREME THROWS THE TIMEKEEPER’S BELL TO THE FACE!
Persephone: That only seemed to stagger Ximena back. What kind of freak is she? :wtf: Just look at the pissed-off look on her face. :mjlol:
James Peters: Ximena Velasquez didn’t like that one bit as she goes back to Ms. Extreme and pulls her out of the timekeeper’s area by her waist, but I don’t think ‘La Diosa’ sees the steel chair in the champion’s position! MS. EXTREME TURNS AROUND AND SLAMS THE STEEL CHAIR INTO THE SKULL OF XIMENA! SHE SLAMS THE STEEL CHAIR AGAIN TO THE SKULL OF THE CHALLENGER BEFORE SLAMMING IT AGAINST HER BACK AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! XIMENA SLOWLY FINDS HERSELF IN A CRAWLING POSITION, BUT MS. EXTREME CONTINUES TO SLAM THE STEEL CHAIR ONTO THE SPINE AS THE CHALLENGER FINDS HERSELF CRAWLING! MS. EXTREME WITH ONE LAST STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE SPINE AS THAT DROPS HER CHALLENGER AT TERRITORIAL INVASION!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME PLACES THE STEEL CHAIR BELOW THE SKULL OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ BEFORE TAKING A STEP BACK AS SHE CURB STOMPS HER CHALLENGER ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR! IF THAT DIDN’T SEEM TO KNOCK OUT XIMENA, I’M NOT SURE WHAT WILL!
(Ms. Extreme is gesturing for the referee to hand her the Universal Women’s Championship as he does that with no hesitation. She places her foot on the back of Ximena Velasquez as she accepts her title from the referee before raising it up high. “Zombie” plays once again as Ms. Extreme holds her glare, feeling satisfied in sending a message to her opponent of what she can expect from her at Territorial Invasion.)
James Peters: The Universal Women’s Champion makes the ultimate statement here to her opponent, Ximena Velasquez! It’s one of the reasons why no one can really count out Camille because if she’s good at something, it’s bringing her opponent down to her knees no matter who they are! She did that with Ximena right there!
Rich Russillo: I love Ms. Extreme, but I worry about what will run through Ximena Velasquez’ mind the moment she gains consciousness. Obviously, she’s not going to be in the best mood and that’s something that Camille will need to consider.
Persephone: I’m all up for people dying. Maybe, if we sacrifice both of them to the Voltage gods, Rexy can come back to us.
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Ms. Extreme versus Ximena Velasquez at Territorial Invasion.)
(Voltage comes back from its final commercial break of the night to Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the next match at hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your MAIN EVENT!! AND IT IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer blasts through the speakers of the arena to the thunderous boos from the State Farm Arena, knowing exactly who it is. It isn’t long before none other than the EAW World Champion, Drake King makes his way out from the backstage area with a stern expression on his face. He looks out to the EAW Universe who showers the New Eden member with the loudest negative reaction that they can, only shaking his head in disdain while dragging the EAW World Championship behind him. After a good moment standing at the center of the stage, he begins to make his way down the ramp and begins to approach the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… residing in The Dead Sea… weighing in at 220 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE LAST MESSIAH’… DRAKE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well we all saw what Drake King and his fellow New Eden members had to say about the set of events coming up in the next two weeks earlier in the night. On one hand, they have no doubt in mind that the obstacles at Territorial Invasion will be nothing foreign to conquer when the time comes. And on the other, comes the annoyance of the set of events that have been happening heading into Clash of Kingdoms.
James Peters: With Drake having to face Jake Smith who he sees as nothing less than a nuisance rather than credible competition. To Minerva facing the highly praised Cleopatra who will be in action next week. And of course, the mysterious notes that Myles has been getting these past few weeks. It’s safe to say the best words for this is… hectic. But nonetheless, Drake’s focus at the moment is to make sure New Eden gets another victory in these Territorial Invasion preview matches. Minerva got one on Dynasty, Myles failed to get one on Showdown, now Drake seeks to make things right tonight.
Persephone: Oh please, let’s get off our high horse and admit that New Eden just shouldn’t win Stadium Stampede. It’s not like they’re going to bring Rex McAllister back under control of Voltage, so I don’t see a point in them running the brand, because it’s going to be equally trash. It’s a shame, but I’d rather have Captain Charisma running the circus.
(Drake stops at the bottom of the ramp, this time completely ignoring the crowd while he has his eyes fixated on the ring. He then begins to make his way around the ring, tossing his Championship into the ring carelessly for the referee to pick up while he begins to make his way up the steel steps. He stands on the apron, looking out to the crowd once again, shaking his head unable to help himself, before entering into the ring through the ropes. He stands at the center of the ring, spreading his arms out with a straight look on his face; before turning around and beginning to make his way towards his corner. ‘Cold War’ then fades out from there, while Drake patiently waits in his corner.)
(‘Success Is My Cologne’ by Curren$y then proceeds to play up to a chorus of boos from the EAW Universe upon seeing the no-nonsense Lethal Consequences make his way out to the stage. There’s no theatrics in his grand arrival to Sunday Night Voltage, simply a deadpan stare towards the ring, specifically towards ½ of his opponents for tonight already inside the ring. He ignores the crowd’s reactions towards him, simply beginning to make his way down the ramp, heading towards the ring with an expression full of determination shown with every step he took.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponents, first… from Oakland, California… weighing in at 230 pounds… ‘THE INEVITABLE’… LETHAL CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well we all know what happened on Showdown when it comes to Team Showdown. Impact fought for the brand against Voltage’s Myles and Dynasty’s Andre Walker, managing to find himself on top at the end giving Showdown the same edge that Voltage got on Dynasty. Now Lethal Consequences walks into Voltage this week to get another win in the win column for Team Showdown, putting themselves over the rest of the brands in terms of superiority heading into Stadium Stampede.
James Peters: Easier said than done to be honest with you. No matter how much slack you can give one or the other, LC is up for one hell of a fight ahead of him. But it’s nothing that LC hasn’t been able to do before. It’s just another example of the odds being stacked against him, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a chance. I wouldn’t be surprised if LC came out with the victory at the end of the day, and that’s the only outcome that I’m sure he’s set on tonight.
Persephone: Oh boy, who got the old head on Voltage. We’ve already got fossils like Jamie O’Hara and Justin Windgate running around, I don’t think we need anymore thank you very much. This is a wrestling brand, NOT A FUCKING MUSEUM!
(LC immediately passes the bottom of the ramp and begins to make his way up the steel steps. He steps onto the apron, glancing at the crowd for a good second before he enters into the ring. He then makes his way towards the top rope, ignoring Drake like he’s not there and making his way up the top rope and raising his hands into the air while the crowd gives a strong reaction towards the EAW Hall of Famer. He then jumps off, proceeding to make his way towards the opposite corner, once again raising his hands up in the air letting the crowd sink in his presence. It isn’t long after that he then gets back down onto the canvas and makes his way towards his corner, getting ready for the match at hand while ‘Success Is My Cologne’ comes to a close.)
(‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef then begins to play up to the thunderous cheers of the crowd upon seeing none other than SOSA Henderson make his way out to the stage with a big smirk on his face. He circles around the stage, hyping up the crowd, before he begins to make his way towards the center of the stage focusing his attention on what matters tonight. He then nods his head, the smirk still present on his face, while he begins to make his way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And lastly… from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… weighing in at 191 pounds… ‘BULLETPROOF’… SOSA HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: While Showdown and Voltage got their respective victories in the end, Dynasty hasn’t been able to come out on top this weekend. Now? SOSA Henderson is walking out into the battlefield to even the odds, in the brand that he once stepped foot in back in Season 14. I believe that he is as dead set as ever to make sure that Dynasty proves themselves as formidable competition just as the rest here tonight, and I’m sure he’s going to have zero problems beating anyone that steps in the way of that.
James Peters: SOSA is one of the best that the Dynasty brand has to offer and has shown that he can face the best AND beat the best on multiple occasions. I’m sure a match like this is somewhat of a walk in the park for him. But once again just like we said before, look who he finds himself across the ring with tonight. He’s in for one hell of a challenge, but I’m sure SOSA wouldn’t want it any other way.
Persephone: :mjcry: Why is he back? I thought we got rid of him.
(SOSA stops at the bottom of the ramp, looking around, before circling around the ring and jumping up onto the apron. He looks out to the roaring crowd in Atlanta, Georgia tonight before beginning to make his way up to the top rope. He poses with a straight look on his face, looking up to the sky before focusing his attention on the two opponents that are already in the ring. SOSA then drops down and makes his way towards his corner, getting ready for the match at hand as ‘Faneto’ then begins to fade out from there.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, this Territorial Invasion preview match is officially in full swing! AND IN AN INSTANT SOSA LAUNCHES HIMSELF TOWARDS DRAKE AND BEGINS TO HAMMER DOWN PUNCHES ONTO HIS SKULL! You already know that SOSA has been eager to get his hands on Drake, and now I’m sure he’s not going to let that slip! Drake holds up his forearms trying to block the shots, but SOSA has him backed against the corner! Drake is finally able to shove away and create some sort of distance, but immediately he rolls out of the ring, not willing to continue this any further and run the risk! SOSA staring a hole into Drake, yelling at him to get back into the ring but that doesn’t seem to be a concern of the EAW World Champion at the moment. SOSA shaking his head in disappointment while turning around…
James Peters: LETHAL CONSEQUENCES FROM BEHIND SWINGING FOR THE FENCES AND TAKING SOSA’S HEAD OFF WITH A BRUTAL LARIAT! SOSA is taken down to the ground, and right away LC mounts onto him and begins to slam down brutal punches on his skull! SOSA trying to block as much as he can, definitely taken by surprise after LC lied in wait for the perfect opportunity! LC pushing off him and getting up to his feet, before grabbing the arm of SOSA and sending him towards the ropes with an Irish whip! BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN THIS TIME WITH A ROLLING WHEEL KICK TOWARDS HIS FACE TAKING SOSA DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: I can’t stand a match with more than two people in it, let alone two. I have a feeling we’re in for a long, boring fuckfest.
Rich Russillo: SOSA taken down to the mat, rolling away and clutching onto the bottom rope to help himself up to his feet. LC is right back up to his feet as the crowd is going completely berserk for him, BUT THAT GOES SOUR AS LC TURNS AROUND AND IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND BY DRAKE KING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! Drake is right back up, ignoring the crowd that continues to shower the New Eden member with jeers and boos. Drake making his way over and grabbing LC by his head, PICKING HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SWIFT SNAP SUPLEX!
James Peters: LC is taken out of the equation momentarily, while Drake shifts his focus on SOSA Henderson. SOSA attempts to recover on the apron, but he might not have much leeway as Drake begins to approach him. BUT SOSA CONNECTS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TOWARDS HIS FACE! Drake is taken aback, temporarily stunned but it’s enough to allow SOSA to climb up to the top rope and position himself! BUT DRAKE FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES AND SHAKES THE TOP FORCING SOSA TO LOSE HIS BALANCE! SOSA drops down to a seated position on the turnbuckle while Drake makes his way towards him and grabs ahold of him! But it’s SOSA that sends a boot towards his face forcing him away! Drake forced to retreat backwards, BUT THAT’S ENOUGH FOR SOSA TO LEAP OFF THE TOP AND TAKE DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BEAUTIFUL BLOCKBUSTER!
Persephone: God, imagine a reality where New Eden runs Voltage… My bad, just deep in thought. GO SOSA! OR GO LC! Frankly anyone but New Eden jfc 🙄…
Rich Russillo: Drake clutching at his neck in pain while SOSA rolls back onto his feet, BUT LETHAL CONSEQUENCES IS BACK IN THE EQUATION RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TOWARDS SOSA’S FACE! But SOSA saw it coming, ducking under and running the ropes! BEFORE SOSA TAKES LC DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! LC is taken down but immediately gets back up, BUT SOSA RUNS THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES AND TAKES LC BACK DOWN WITH A SECOND FOREARM SMASH! SOSA looking to go for the trifecta, running the ropes and back!
James Peters: BUT DRAKE IS BACK UP CATCHING HIM AGAINST HIS FACE WITH A CALF KICK! Drake is back up to his feet, knowing there’s a whole other person in this match that he needs to take care of! BUT LC GRABS HIM BY THE ARM AND TAKES HIM DOWN THIS TIME WITH AN IMPRESSIVE SWINGING NECKBREAKER! The crucial part of this match is the fact that there is absolutely zero room for error and no breathing room as well. You always have to be on your feet and be ready for an attack at all angles, and that’s a prime example of what happened right there. It’s safe to say that they’re in for one hell of a fight.
Persephone: No shit Sherlock, it’s like we’ve never seen a triple threat match before.
Rich Russillo: LC is back up, mediating the situation and making sure that Drake and SOSA stayed down on the ground. SOSA slowly brings himself up, but it’s LC that steps forward and stomps down onto his chest! That’s one sharp attack from the former World Heavyweight Champion, and he’s making sure that both of them get a taste of that. Drake slowly crawls up to his feet, heaving himself up onto all fours. BUT LC STEPS FORWARD THIS TIME SENDING A KICK TOWARDS HIS ABDOMEN AND SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! LC has been doing a more than sufficient job, once again focusing his attention on SOSA and beginning to approach him!
James Peters: BUT SOSA TURNS IT AROUND AND DROPS LC DOWN TO THE CANVAS FACE FIRST WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! LC grabs at his face, staggering up to a kneeling position while SOSA takes the time to recover. BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! LC taken out of the equation momentarily while SOSA is right back up, TURNING AROUND AND BEING MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO HIS JAW BY DRAKE KING! But SOSA manages to duck under that one, running the ropes! BUT DRAKE SAW THAT ONE COMING AND TAKES SOSA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A QUICK SLING BLADE!
Persephone: 😴😴😴 Sorry, my bad. I’d be more invested in this match, believe me, but I left my Rex McAllister body pillow at the hotel so…
Rich Russillo: Drake is back up to his feet, grabbing SOSA and throwing him out of the ring! He’s gotten one person out of the equation, now he picks apart the other while he has the chance. Drake grabs the head of LC and brings him up to his feet, before sending him into an Irish whip towards a corner! LC is backed up, trying to shake off the cobwebs, BUT DRAKE RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BIG FOREARM TOWARDS HIS FACE! Drake grabs him by his head before beginning to make an ascension up to the top rope! LC IS BACK UP WHILE DRAKE LEAPS OFF AND ATTEMPTS TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!
James Peters: But LC manages to sidestep leaving Drake to crash and burn! Drake is taken out for a moment, but scrambles up to his feet realizing the position that he’s found himself in! BUT LC GRABS HIM AND DROPS HIM DOWN INTO A QUICK EXPLODER SUPLEX! Lethal Consequences is getting back into the swing of things, waiting patiently for Drake to get back up to his feet, before pushing him against the ropes and sending him into an Irish whip towards the opposite pair! CATCHING DRAKE AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS FACE WITH A SHARP ELBOW STRIKE TAKING DRAKE DOWN!
Persephone: I hope that shattered his face or something like that. I’d be glad seeing Drake’s face behind a face mask considering I won’t have to see his hideous complexion along with his absolutely repulsive laugh anymore.
Rich Russillo: Drake grabbing his cheek, but already trying to bring himself up to his feet, stumbling towards LC trying to get some sort of retaliation! BUT LC GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! GOING FOR ‘LOWDOWN!’ SPINEBUSTER ATTEMPT TOWARDS DRAKE TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: BUT DRAKE USES THE MOMENTUM TO POP UP AND CATCH LC INTO A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! LC attempts to keep himself upwards, but the weight of Drake is forcing him to slowly lower down to the ground! Drake is trying with all of his might to choke LC out, making sure that this match ends quickly for him! But I don’t think LC is going to go down so easily! LC sending shot after shot towards the side of the body of Drake, attempting to force him to let go of the hold entirely! But Drake isn’t one to give in so easily, keeping the Guillotine Choke locked in with a vice grip! Will LC give in to the submission hold?! Or will Drake be forced to let go of the submission hold?!
Persephone: I hope LC just taps right here so this match can just be over with.
James Peters: :comeagain: Weren’t you rooting against New Eden???
Persephone: There is nothing I’m more passionate about than ending a match early.
Rich Russillo: I THINK THAT’S SOSA HENDERSON’S INTENTIONS RIGHT NOW! SOSA LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND BREAKING THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE WITH A ‘SOSA BOMB!’ SWANTON BOMB COMPLETELY TAKES OUT THE BOTH OF THEM! SOSA RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TOSSING DRAKE OUT OF THE RING, WHILE HE ROLLS LC ONTO HIS BACK AND PINS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN ONTO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHH-
James Peters: BUT LETHAL CONSEQUENCES GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Unfortunately, that is the case. Who knew a old decrepit fool could go like this, I hope he collapses mid-match and needs a walker.
Rich Russillo: SOSA slowly getting back up to his feet, meanwhile it looks like Drake King is trying to recover on the outside as well. Drake clutching onto the barricade and leaning against it while SOSA begins to take notice. SOSA RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND LEAPING OVER THE TOP GOING FOR A BIG TOPE CON HILO! Drake is taken aback while SOSA rolls into the ring, Drake is holding on by a thread but I don’t think SOSA is content with that! LEAPING OVER AND GOING FOR A TANDEM TOPE CON HILO TO THE OUTSIDE!
James Peters: But Drake manages to move out of the way just in time taking SOSA out at ringside! Drake grabs SOSA by his head and wastes no time rolling him back into the ring with the energy that he has left, jumping onto the apron and waiting to strike! BEFORE LEAPING OFF THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS HIS FACE! Drake rolling forward and getting back up to his feet while SOSA is completely take out, BUT LETHAL CONSEQUENCES LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BRUTAL REVERSE STO!
Persephone: Now all that LC has to do is pin either of them and BOOM he gets the victory! But I always say it, somethings are just too good to be true; this match is going to continue 🙃.
Rich Russillo: LC is the only one left standing, wasting no time beginning to stomp down repeatedly on the chest of Drake to keep him down on the mat! Drake retreats away and rolls towards the apron, leaving LC to turn his attention away from him and head towards SOSA. LC grabbing him by his head and dragging him up to his feet, POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND INTO A VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION! But SOSA manages to slip out of it and land behind him! SOSA shoving LC away while he has the chance, taking a moment to catch his breath before running forward! BUT LC STEPS BACK AND CATCHES HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! SOSA dropping down to the mat while LC runs to the ropes and back, CONNECTING WITH A CORKSCREW ELBOW DROP TO HIS CHEST!
James Peters: SOSA grabbing his chest and trying to get up to his feet while LC has him right where he wants him! BUT SOSA OUT OF NOWHERE ATTEMPTS TO GO FOR AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE! But LC narrowly avoids that, dropping SOSA down to the ground, BEFORE SETTING HIM UP AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! BUT SOSA TURNS IT AROUND AND ROLLS LC INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE!
Persephone: ONE! TWO! THREE! DING DING DING!
Rich Russillo: But LC escapes out of it before the count can even begin! Both of them scramble up to their feet, SOSA GOING FOR A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE OF LC! BUT LC DIPS HIS HEAD UNDER THE LEG OF SOSA AND LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A POWERBOMB! LC rolling SOSA through, BEFORE LIFTING SOSA UP AND DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO ‘LOWDOWN!’ SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS AS LC ROLLS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR A PIN!
James Peters: But SOSA manages to escape the ring before that can happen! LC is back up to his feet with a reaction of confusion and frustration, making his way towards the center of the ring and waiting for SOSA to get back up to his feet! BUT DRAKE! DRAKE FROM BEHIND GRABBING LC AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO ‘DAWN OF JUSTICE!’ THE SPINNING LIFTING INVERTED DDT CONNECTS AS DRAKE ROLLS HIM RIGHT INTO A PIN ATTEMPT! FOR THE WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Persephone: Sadly, he kicks out :mjcry:.
Rich Russillo: Drake is right back to his feet, wasting zero time knowing this is a pristine opportunity to get back on top in this matchup. SOSA is attempting to get back up to his feet on the outside, BUT DRAKE RUNS FORWARD AND SOARS THROUGH THE ROPES TAKING SOSA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A TOPE SUICIDA! Drake rolls into the ring seeing that LC is right where he wants him! RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR ‘JUDGEMENT DAY!’ CURB STOMP ATTEMPT TO COMPLETELY CRUSH THE SKULL OF LETHAL CONSEQUENCES!
James Peters: But LC manages to roll out of the way of that causing Drake to stumble forward with nobody home to connect with! LC WASTING NO TIME GRABBING DRAKE BY HIS LEGS AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND BEFORE CINCHING IN A CROSSFACE! Drake is screaming in pain trying to slip out of it, taken by surprise by the abrupt counter by LC! LC is pulling back on Drake’s head as much as he can, trying to force Drake into a position where it’s tap or snap! The question is, will the EAW World Champion give in right here?! I bet that’s exactly what Lethal Consequences wants right now!
Persephone: FUCK HIM! THAT’S WHAT **I** WANT! COME ON WALKING RETIREMENT HOME! TAP HIM OUT!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOSA MANAGES TO SLIDE BACK INTO THE RING AND ONCE AGAIN BREAK UP THE SUBMISSION HOLD WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE BACK OF LC! LC forced to let go of the hold and create distance between them, but SOSA has his sights set on the already weakened Drake King, bringing him back up to his feet and sending him towards the ropes! BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO TEAR HIM IN HALF WITH A SPEAR!
James Peters: But Drake manages to move out of the way causing SOSA to slide down to the ground! SOSA grabs onto the ropes and pulls himself closer to it trying to get himself up before Drake can do anything else, but Drake already has him by the arm, sending him towards the corner with an Irish whip! DRAKE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A FOREARM SMASH TOWARDS HIS FACE! But SOSA manages to move out of the way throwing Drake into the corner instead, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE GUT OF DRAKE COMPLETELY TAKING THE AIR OUT OF HIS BODY!
Persephone: BUST A KIDNEY!
James Peters: :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: Drake stumbles forward out of the corner, but SOSA presses him against the corner, before sending a brutal chop towards his chest lighting him up! SOSA grabbing him by his arm and sending him towards the opposite corner, RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS THE JAW OF DRAKE! But this time Drake moves out of the way just in time, GRABBING SOSA AND LIFTING HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!
James Peters: Drake catching his breath while helping himself up to his feet, knowing he has the momentum and he needs to keep it right here. BUT IT’S LETHAL CONSEQUENCES THAT RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TOWARDS THE JAW OF DRAKE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND OUT OF NOWHERE! LC once again lies in wait and striking when it’s the perfect moment, finding himself with the upper hand right now.
Persephone: I’m surprised that he’s able to sneak up on his opponents like this, I can see that man’s beer belly from a mile away!
Rich Russillo: Drake is definitely more in surprise than in pain, trying to drag himself back up to his feet while LC patiently waits in a corner. LC GRABBING HIM AND LIFTING HIM UP BEFORE SENDING DRAKE INTO A RELEASE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! LC looks to keep a vice grip on this match, grabbing Drake once again before bringing him up and sending him into an Irish whip towards the ropes! But Drake manages to hold onto the ropes just in time before he can rebound off of them! BUT LC LOOKS TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!

Rich Russillo: BUT SOSA RUNS FORWARD AND COMPLETELY TAKES DRAKE BY SURPRISE WITH A SPEAR!

LC slowly begins to recover and gain his bearings. BEFORE SOSA RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR LOOKING TO DRILL LC DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A QUICK JUMPING DDT!
James Peters: But LC manages to shove him away before that’s able to happen! SOSA stumbles back, stunned for a moment but focusing his attention back on this match, BUT IT’S LC THAT LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES SOSA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH AN ASTOUNDING CROSSBODY! SOSA grabs his back in pain trying to help himself back up to his feet, but LC is waiting right behind him! LC KICKING HIM IN HIS GUT BEFORE GOING FOR ‘DEAD EXECUTIVE!’ STUNNER! STUNNER!
Persephone: Technically if you think about it, the Stunners long term effects could really damage your tailbone. So technically, who wins the battle of life in the end?
Rich Russillo: But SOSA manages to push LC away and send him forward against the corner! LC is backed up while SOSA runs forward, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SMASH TOWARDS HIS FACE!

James Peters: DRAKE WITH ‘JUDGEMENT DAY!’ DRAKE WITH THE LAST OF HIS ENERGY BREAKS UP THE PIN ATTEMPT WITH THE CURB STOMP TO THE BACK OF SOSA HENDERSON’S HEAD BEFORE COLLAPSING DOWN TO THE GROUND AS WELL!
Persephone: :will: That was so unnecessary, just let him finish the match damn.
Rich Russillo: Drake doesn’t have much energy in his body left, but he knows that this could very well be the deciding factor of this match. SOSA’s head being stomped down onto his abdomen definitely snapped LC back to reality, trying to get himself back up to his feet while he has the chance, knowing the situation that he finds himself in. LC brings himself up to a knee, but I don’t know if he sees what lurks in front of him!
James Peters: DRAKE WITH ‘OVERHAUL!’ SWINGING REVERSE STO PLANTS LC BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND! DRAKE HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH?!

TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Persephone: Is this a fucking action movie or something?!
Rich Russillo: SOSA LEAPING FORWARD IN HOPES OF BREAKING THE PIN! WILL HE BE ABLE TO BREAK IT UP IN TIME?!
…
…
…
James Peters: SOSA’S TOO LATE! DRAKE WINS! DRAKE WINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Cold War’ once again blasts through the speakers of the arena while Drake King pushes himself slowly off the body of Lethal Consequences. Drake is heavily fatigued momentarily, clutching onto the bottom rope trying to help himself up while the referee makes his way over to hand him his EAW World Championship. Drake doesn’t hesitate to shove the Championship away, but grips onto the arm of the referee to help himself up. The referee then raises Drake’s arm in victory, while Drake snatches his arm away in pure disgust. He simply stands at the center of the ring while the crowd showers deafening boos over him drowning out his theme, simply basking it all in with a serious expression staring at the hard camera.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… the EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!! DRAKE KING!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: New Eden continues their stupid agenda. :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: What a match that we’ve just seen tonight! A battle of brands to determine superiority and settle the score tonight, each of these competitors went to war tonight! Despite everything that happened on Friday Night Dynasty and Saturday Night Showdown, all three of these Elitists knew that a win was crucial for all of their teams. But in the end, there could only be one brand that came out on top when it was all said and done.
James Peters: That ended up being New Eden’s Drake King, adding onto the victory that Minerva accumulated on Dynasty as well. New Eden continues to get one step closer to conquest of Sunday Night Voltage and making sure that they’re vision of change is put into effect, the true question is… could this be the sight that we see at Territorial Invasion after Stadium Stampede? That is yet to be seen. But nonetheless, congratulations to Drake on his victory!
(Drake then rolls out of the ring, leaving his EAW World Championship and immediately making his way up the ramp. It goes to Lethal Consequences who seems to be stirring, very unhappy about the result of tonight. Meanwhile, SOSA seems to be distraught at the ringside area, sitting against the barricade trying to get his bearings. The last shot seen is of Drake turning his head and looking towards the ring, before disappearing through the backstage area as Sunday Night Voltage from there, fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
