(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s show. Veena Adams and Jake Smith make it official for Territorial Invasion where they tried to attack Veena, but she was able to avoid it. Bea Valentine got back on track and defeated Mathew Kazama. After the match Joso asks Bea to join Showdown’s Team War Games. Auburn Ware defeated Clayton Golde. SHOWTIME! Looks for their Unified Tag Team Championship match now. Harper Lee is visited by Solomon Stane’s Children of the Night. She then went on to defeat a game Vincent Mondrian. Mikaela Street interviews Pandora Paisley after having to join Silas World and while Silas answered most questions, Pandora definitely spoke of her transition and felt betrayed. In the Main Event, Daryl Kinkade was robbed of a victory by Donovan Duke. It started a brawl that Silas World was involved in until Kennedy Street came out and announced that both Donovan Duke and Daryl Kinkade will Co-Captain the Team Brand Warfare for Showdown.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of The Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators start talking.)
Deadprez: WELCOME TO SHOWDOWN! We are LIVE from Sydney, Australia and what an exciting show we have for you tonight as we are on the road to Territorial Invasion! I am Deadprez and with me are Eve and Gavin Kirkland! What a Main Event we have tonight, Silas World taking on the two members of Team War Games.
Eve: It is going to be a crazy Main Event, but we also have #Hashtag in action, along with Xander Payne taking on Damien Kutcher, and we will hear from Jake Smith, Veena Adams is here tonight, and you know she will have something to say!
Gavin Kirkland: But we are going to kick it off with the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme! And she will be taking on the monstrous Solomon Stane, but now that we know who she will defend against, I am sure the champ has a lot to say!
(The camera pans to the entranceway.)
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies starts to play throughout the arena as the camera shot cuts from the commentary table to the entrance ramp where we see Ms. Extreme entering the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some love her and some hate her. She doesn’t care as she has the Universal Women’s Championship on her shoulder and fire in her eyes as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! At this time, please welcome the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! “THE PHOENIX QUEEN” MS. EXTREME!
Deadprez: Here comes the Universal Women’s Champion coming to the ring to kick off Saturday Night Showdown and from the look on her face, on a scale from one to ten, her temper is at a fourteen right now. She is MAD!
Gavin Kirkland: She is coming in hot, but in a completely different meaning than usual after what happened on Voltage last week. I don’t blame her. How dare that Voltage trash put her hands on one of the high quality Showdown elitists.
Eve: Camille should have known that something like that could have happened considering that she is the Universal Women’s Champion. Be that as it may, I can see why she is angry. Ms. Extreme is a very confident competitor who is going to stop at nothing to reign supreme. Now let’s hear what Ms. Extreme has to say.
(Camille walks by the commentary table and snatches a microphone from Gina Romano with such force that it almost took poor Gina out of her seat. Ms. Extreme enters the ring and barely waits for her entrance music to fade away before she begins to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: Normally, you wouldn’t have a reason to watch Voltage because I am not on that show anymore. I wouldn’t blame you if you watched last week, because I decided to take a little trip and visit the yellow brand. It’s a good thing I did because I was called out.
Ms. Extreme: Yeah, my tone is calm right now, but let me tell you THAT I AM EXTREMELY PISSED OFF AFTER WHAT WENT DOWN LAST WEEK ON VOLTAGE! A BITCH IS VERY CLOSE TO SEEING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME FACE TO FACE WITH MY UNYIELDING RAGE!!
(Camille takes a second to calm herself down after the built up anger finally blew up. She takes a deep breath before continuing to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: Daniella Atlas….
(The crowd starts cheering louder at the mention of her name. Even though she isn’t a member of the Showdown roster, Daniella is a very popular Elitist in EAW. Ms. Extreme doesn’t really care for that response, so she shakes her head and continues on.)
Ms. Extreme: Yeah yeah yeah. She’s just so damn special isn’t she. I give a little bit of credit and acknowledge her presence and what does she do? The bitch attacks me for no reason. Is she trying to intimidate me? Is she trying to throw me off my game? I don’t know and I, quite frankly, don’t care. But what I do know is that last week on Voltage, Daniella issued out a challenge for the Universal Women’s Championship.
(Camille looks around the arena in silence for a brief moment before she continues speaking.)
Ms. Extreme: Well, Daniella. If you want a shot at the Universal Women’s Championship at Territorial Invasion, then I accept your challenge. You have your shot at the title at Territorial Invasion.
(The crowd cheers very loudly at the acceptance of Daniella’s challenge and the future title match at Territorial Invasion.)
Ms. Extreme: Alright, people. Calm it down. Don’t get too excited. Yeah, Daniella might have her title match coming up at Territorial Invasion, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to be successful.
(The cheers from the crowd immediately turn into boos after hearing Camille make that statement. While they respect her, they also love Daniella to the point where they wanna see her become World Champion.)
Ms. Extreme: Will you all stop acting like that? You know what I am saying is the truth. Nothing is guaranteed in this company and that includes winning titles. Yeah, you all might not like what I have to say, but I want you all to listen very closely to what is about to come out of my mouth.
(Camille motions for the camera to come closer and she locks eyes with it. If you look carefully, you might be able to see fire coming from her eyes. She is dead serious at the moment.)
Ms. Extreme: Daniella. I am not only telling you, I am telling the entire world that even though I was gracious enough to give you a shot at the Universal Women’s Championship, that doesn’t mean you are going to leave Territorial Invasion with the title. Hell, I am GUARANTEEING that I am going to be leaving Territorial Invasion still the champion because you all will just have to accept here and now that I am going to be holding this title for a very VERY long time. That’s because–
(Camille is quickly cut off by the sounds of ‘My Mind Is A Mountain’ by The Deftones. Seconds later, the crowd goes absolutely crazy for the entrance of Daniella Atlas. She has a smirk on her face as she heads to the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: This is the best day ever. Not only do we have one beautiful lady in the ring, we have another one heading to the ring. WOOOOOOO! I love Showdown.
Deadprez: You also love restraining orders, dawg, but that’s another story. I think everybody, including myself, is very surprised with Daniella’s appearance and she’s heading right towards the Champion.
Eve: Daniella seemed to get a one up last week against Camille, and we had to expect something like this to happen. I think Daniella knew that Camille was going to talk trash. Either way, let’s hear what Daniella has to say.
(Daniella quickly grabs a microphone and slides into the ring. She gets right in Camille’s face as her music goes off. She looks at the crowd and smirks before she starts speaking.)
Daniella Atlas: You guys look surprised to see me, but that’s ok since you all are happy to see me.
Ms. Extreme: Sure they are.
Daniella Atlas: I had a feeling that you were going to pull a stunt like this, so that’s why I am here on Showdown.
Ms. Extreme: Good for you. You can leave now. You got your title shot. What more do you want?
Daniella Atlas: What I want is to give you a little warning, Camille. What happened last week? That was just a very small taste of things that are about to come.
Ms. Extreme: You’re joking right? Am I supposed to be scared of you? Oh yeah. I’m gonna be so scared of the “Blade of Herpes”.
Daniella Atlas: Go ahead and make your jokes because you have absolutely no clue about what is about to happen to you come Territorial Invasion.
Ms. Extreme: That sounds like a threat.
Daniella Atlas: It’s not a threat. It’s a guarantee.
(As both women are looking to gear up and start fighting, EAW officials slide into the ring and separate the champion and her challenger. The crowd doesn’t like that too much as they start booing.)
Daniella Atlas: Camille, you are lucky that they came in here to save your ass. But your luck is going to run out.
Ms. Extreme: If you think that you are going to beat me, then you have another thing coming, bitch.
Daniella Atlas: There is another thing coming. I hear that you have a match coming up next. So I am going to be sitting at ringside for your match since you have decided to grace Voltage with your presence tomorrow night by being at ringside for my match against Minerva.
(Camille doesn’t say a word, but it’s obvious to see that she is not very happy at the moment. Daniella has a smile on her face as she starts to leave the ring, but she stops herself at the last moment.)
Daniella Atlas: Oh, and by the way… good luck in your match, Camille.
(Daniella gives Camille a small wave before she leaves the ring, leaving Camille irate as the EAW officials leave the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Did you hear that? Daniella Atlas is going to stay around and be on commentary for Camille’s match. WOOOOHOOOOOO! I hope she sits next to me.
Eve: Will you ever learn to control yourself? But Daniella being here and staying out here has certainly got to throw the Champion off her game a little bit.
Deadprez: Well Ms. Extreme has accepted Daniella’s challenge for the Universal Women’s Championship at Territorial Invasion, but before that match, she has to make it through this match. After the break, it’s the opening contest of Showdown. Ms. Extreme! Solomon Stane! NEXT!
(The final shot shows Ms. Extreme doing her best to prepare for her match as Daniella walks over to the commentary table and the shots fade to commercial break.)
(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion advertising Ms. Extreme taking on Daniella Atlas for the Universal Women’s Championship.)
(As it fades back from commercial break, Ms. Extreme is already in the ring while Daniella Atlas looks on.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…
( ‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies is playing, and the crowd cheers, some boo while Ms. Extreme stands there stoically holding the Universal Women’s Championship. She turns and looks over to Daniella Atlas for a moment before looking back at the entranceway.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first already in the ring …from Glacier County, Montana…weighting in 140 ibs…”The Phoenix Queen” MS. EXTREME!
(‘For Heaven’s Sake by 16 Horsepower. Solomon Stane walks out with Trixie. Solomon has a focused look on his face as he stares at Ms. Extreme in the ring holding her Championship. Solomon begins walking down the ramp, making his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent…accompanied by Trixie…From the City of Sin…Weighing in at 266 pounds… SOOLOOOMOOONNNNN STAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: The size disparity here is clear right from the lockup! Ms. Extreme reaches in, trying to tie up, but Solomon pushes her back with almost no effort!
Eve: She needs to avoid that if she goes power for power, it’s going to be a short night. Solomon pacing slowly as Ms. Extreme circles, thinking. She darts in, striking with a stiff forearm smash. Solomon barely budges. She fires another, and another, but he suddenly shoves her back into the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh my goodness! It’s like watching a small car crash into a tank she just ricocheted off the turnbuckles!
Deadprez: And Stane is taking his time. Notice this, he’s in no rush. He stalks forward, hands around her throat— WAIT! Ms. Extreme slips under the grip and catches him with a low kick to the thigh!
Eve: Smart strategy, target those legs. Chop him down little by little! Ms. Extreme peppers him with kicks to the thighs and shin! Solomon absorbs the blows but grows frustrated, charging in! Ms. Extreme sidesteps, and Solomon collides with the corner! Ms. Extreme runs, rebounds off the ropes, and nails a running forearm that staggers him slightly!
Gavin Kirkland: She got him to stumble! That’s step one to get him off-balance! But look at Stane! That stumble just turned into rage! Solomon bursts forward with a massive clothesline— but Ms. Extreme ducks, springboarding off the ropes only for Solomon to catch her midair in a crushing tilt-a-whirl backbreaker!
Deadprez: And that right there is the danger of taking risks against a man like Solomon Stane. He can snatch you out of the air and turn the tide in an instant. He’s not even going for the pin! Almost daring her to get back up. Ms. Extreme as she clutches her back, forcing herself to rise. Solomon grabs her by the hair, yanking her upright, and delivers a stiff right hand that sends her reeling into the ropes! He whips her across the ring and on the rebound, pops her up high into a flapjack, slamming her chest-first onto the mat!
Eve: Whew! Ms. Extreme bounced like a basketball! Her ribs just got tenderized! But notice she’s crawling to the ropes, not staying down. She knows she has to stay alive in this match, even if it means just making Solomon chase her! Solomon stalks again, pulling her to her feet, setting up for a suplex. Ms. Extreme blocks it, hammering elbows to his side. He lifts again, she blocks, then nails a stiff knee to his face. She slips behind and lands a DDT!
Gavin Kirkland: And the DDT plants the big man! This is her opening— capitalize! Don’t waste time! Ms. Extreme quickly scrambles onto the middle rope, perching, and when Solomon groggily rises, she leaps off with a missile dropkick that sends him crashing back into the ropes! She’s chipping away, little by little!
Deadprez: Solomon rebounds off the ropes, still on his feet! But Ms. Extreme charges with a running bulldog and down goes Stane!
Eve: That’s exactly how she needs to pace this. Hit and move, string together strikes and maneuvers that don’t give Solomon a chance to plant his base! Solomon slowly gets to his knees, and Ms. Extreme nails him with a running low dropkick to the side of the head, rolling him over. She goes for the cover!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Gavin Kirkland: And Solomon kicks out with authority! Practically sending Ms. Extreme flying off of him! She got a two-count on the big man, though! That’s gotta rattle him a bit. Ms. Extreme gets to her feet quickly, stomping at Solomon’s legs, trying to keep him grounded— but Solomon catches her ankle, yanking her down! He rises with fire in his eyes, pulling her into position for a chokeslam! She rakes at his arm, twisting out, and lands another forearm strike. He swings with a backhand that nearly decapitates her, but she ducks under and hits a leg lariat to his chest!
Deadprez: She’s turning his own power into openings! Avoiding the shot, slipping inside the gaps, and striking fast! But the question is, how long can she keep up this pace before Solomon finally grounds her again? Ms. Extreme kips up quickly. Solomon sits up, clearly annoyed now. She rushes toward him with another strike, but this time he shoves her so hard she stumbles backward and rolls to a knee!
Eve: That right there is the danger— even after everything she’s thrown, it only takes ONE shove to reset Solomon’s control! Ms. Extreme needs to be careful not to let frustration creep in! She’s got momentum, but momentum is fragile against someone like Solomon Stane. Solomon rises fully now, pointing at Ms. Extreme, mouthing something inaudible! He stalks forward again, reaching out— Ms. Extreme suddenly darts low, sliding through his legs, popping up behind him, and landing a running chop block to the back of his knee! Solomon stumbles to one side, his leg buckling slightly!
Gavin Kirkland: OHHH! There it is! Chop him down, champ! Chop him down like a tree!
Deadprez: And now Solomon is down to one knee! Ms. Extreme rebounds off the ropes RUNNING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Eve: He’s rocked! This could be the biggest chance of the match so far! Ms. Extreme quickly scrambles to the top rope, steadying herself as Solomon wobbles, slowly getting up. She leaps off DIVING CROSSBODY— BUT SOLOMON CATCHES HER MID-AIR! Solomon steadies his footing, holding her across his chest!
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t like where this is going—
Deadprez: FALLAWAY SLAM! HE JUST LAUNCHED HER ACROSS THE RING! Ms. Extreme crashes hard! Solomon kneels on one knee, breathing heavily. Trixie Stane claps on the outside, but doesn’t interfere, just offering encouragement.
Eve: That’s the balance of this match. Every time Ms. Extreme strings together offense, Stane only needs one counter, one power move, to swing the momentum right back! Solomon gets to his feet, towering over Ms. Extreme as she pulls herself toward the ropes! He stomps down on her ribs, then hauls her up by the hair, locking in a bearhug! He squeezes tight, lifting her slightly off the mat, shaking her like a ragdoll!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Solomon Stane is going to drain the life right out of her! A brutal bearhug cinched in, all that power crushing her ribs and spine! She’s screaming in pain! Look at her face! I don’t think her ribs can handle this!
Eve: But she’s still fighting! Look, Ms. Extreme is throwing wild forearms down at his head! Anything she can do to break free! She continues hammering Solomon’s face, finally enough that he staggers backward toward the corner! She shifts her weight, climbing up his body and finally breaking free, landing behind him. She grabs his head— NECKBREAKER DROP! Solomon hits the mat hard, clutching his neck!
Deadprez: She does it again! Turning defense into offense, slipping free, and planting him with that neckbreaker!
Eve: That gives her a few precious seconds to recover. But she can’t waste them. She has to stay on him! Ms. Extreme crawls quickly, grabbing the ropes and pulling herself up. She runs across the ring as Solomon starts to rise, bouncing off the ropes— SINGLE LEG DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: BOOM! He’s down again! She scrambles back up, measuring him. Solomon tries to get to a knee— SECOND DROPKICK! She connects clean again. Ms. Extreme slaps the mat, fired up, motioning for Solomon to get back up!
Deadprez: The champion is stringing it together now, quick bursts, precise shots! She’s got Stane reeling!
Eve: But she can’t go for the big kill yet— if she risks too much too soon, he’ll catch her like before. Solomon rises, staggering on unsteady legs. Ms. Extreme charges for the running bulldog again— BUT SOLOMON SHOVES HER OFF, sending her into the ropes. On the rebound, he scoops her up SPINNING SIDE SLAM!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY! The power! The impact! That could crack the ring in half! Solomon hooks the leg for the first pin attempt of the match!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Eve: MS. EXTREME KICKS OUT! The Universal Women’s Champion is still in this fight!
Deadprez: How much more can her body withstand? He’s throwing her around like she’s a crash test dummy! Solomon sits up from the failed pin attempt, He looks down at Ms. Extreme, who’s clutching her ribs, rolling to her side in pain! He slowly rises, dragging her up by the wrist, and yanks her into a short-arm clothesline! GOOD LORD! A short-arm clothesline that nearly took her head clean off!
Eve: That one knocked the wind right out of her lungs— you can see she’s gasping, clutching at her chest. Solomon Stane doesn’t need to be flashy, he just needs to be deliberate. Solomon doesn’t go for the pin this time he’s in control, and he knows it! He picks Ms. Extreme up again, lifts her high, and drives her down with a sidewalk slam, shaking the canvas once again!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s treating her like she’s nothing! That sidewalk slam looked like it rattled her spine out of place! Solomon stays seated after the slam, Trixie nods approvingly. He slowly gets up, pulling Ms. Extreme by the hair again, forcing her onto her knees. He raises his arm and hammers down a huge clubbing forearm across her back! She collapses to the mat again!
Deadprez: This is what we feared, Solomon grinding the match to his pace. Slow, heavy, suffocating. Ms. Extreme has nowhere to go right now!
Eve: He’s punishing her, Eve. Taking his time, squeezing the life out of the Universal Women’s Champion. Solomon drags her up once more, hooks her for a vertical suplex. He holds her high in the air, showing off his power, letting the blood rush to her head before slamming her down with authority! He stays down, hooking her leg again!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! She’s surviving, but just barely! Solomon climbs to his feet, looming over Ms. Extreme. She tries to crawl toward the ropes, but Solomon grabs her by the ankle and yanks her back into the center of the ring! He stomps hard on her midsection, then plants a boot on her chest, grinding it down!
Deadprez: That’s pure humiliation right there. He’s not even trying to hide it. Ms. Extreme coughs under the pressure, clawing at his boot, but then suddenly she fires a desperate right hand to his shin, then another, enough to make him step back. She rolls to the ropes, grabbing them tight as Solomon charges— but she ducks low, pulling the top rope down, and Solomon tumbles over the ropes to the floor! SHE BOUGHT HERSELF A BREATHER! A huge breather!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s what a champion does— finds the window, even when they’re down and battered! Ms. Extreme lies on the mat, chest heaving, clutching her ribs, while Solomon recovers on the outside. Trixie rushes over to check on him, but doesn’t touch him just words of encouragement. Solomon shakes it off, smacking the apron in frustration, glaring back inside at the champ!
Deadprez: She’s still in deep waters, but this moment right here is critical. She has a few seconds to breathe, maybe recover enough to find a plan. The referee starts his count as Solomon paces outside, shaking off the landing. Ms. Extreme uses the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet, still clutching her ribs. She sees Solomon climbing onto the apron and charges— BASEBALL SLIDE! She connects, sending him crashing back down to the floor!
Eve: There it is! That’s the window she needed! She can’t waste time now, she has to pile it on! Ms. Extreme hurries to the ropes, measuring him as he gets up again. She runs— SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES! She collides with Solomon and drives him into the barricade!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOO! A suicide dive with no fear! That’s the Ms. Extreme we know, the one who puts her body on the line every single time! Ms. Extreme pulls herself up first, still feeling the pain in her ribs but pushing through. She grabs Solomon by the head and smashes him face-first into the barricade again, then shoves him back toward the ring. She slides in to break the referee’s count, then quickly climbs onto the apron as Solomon staggers on the outside.
Deadprez: She’s lining him up! Solomon turns around— MS. EXTREME LEAPS OFF THE APRON WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE, TAKING HIM DOWN!
Eve: She’s stringing together the kind of offense she needs. Keep the big man on his back, keep him guessing! Ms. Extreme fires herself up! She drags Solomon up and rolls him into the ring, following in after him. As he slowly gets up to his knees, she pounces KNEELING DDT! She spikes his head into the canvas and quickly hooks the leg!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE—
Deadprez: NO! Solomon powers out again, but that was close! Every one of these near falls forces Solomon to exert more energy. That’s part of her game plan to make him carry all that weight through endurance! Ms. Extreme rises, signaling to the crowd, waiting for Solomon to rise. When he does, she charges forward— RUNNING CLOTHESLINE! He staggers but doesn’t fall. She bounces off the ropes again— SECOND CLOTHESLINE! This one rocks him harder but he’s still standing! She screams and hits the ropes one more time THIRD CLOTHESLINE— and finally Solomon goes down!
Gavin Kirkland: THE BIG MAN IS DOWN! THE CHAMP TOOK HIM OFF HIS FEET! She hurries to the corner, climbing the turnbuckles. Solomon stirs, rolling onto his back. Ms. Extreme steadies herself— DIVING LEG DROP ACROSS HIS CHEST! She immediately hooks the leg again!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE!!!
…
Deadprez: HE KICKS OUT! JUST BARELY! BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T GIVING UP! MS. EXTREME GOING FOR THE RED HANDED— WAIT A SECOND! IS THAT DANIELLA ATLAS PULLING MS. EXTREME OUT OF THE RING!
Eve: NOT JUST THAT HARPER LEE IS HERE GOING ON THE ATTACK AGAINST A DOWNED SOLOMON! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE BEING ATTACKED! THE OFFICIAL HAS TO THROW THIS MATCH OUT!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Gina Ramano: This match has been called a…NO CONTEST!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! Daniella Atlas just pulled Ms. Extreme straight out of the ring before she could lock in the Red Handed— and now Harper Lee is stomping away at Solomon Stane in the middle of the ring!
Eve: Both competitors, BOTH of them, just got ambushed! I guess we should’ve seen it coming, there has been a bunch of bad blood brewing between the both of them.
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee stomps viciously at Solomon’s chest until he shoves her away with raw strength, staggering up! Harper looks to drill him with her CHAMPIONSHIP- BUT SOLOMON GRABS HARPER BY THE THROAT! HE’S GOING TO KILL HER BUT SECURITY IS GETTING IN THE WAY STOPPING HIM AND SEPARATING THEM BEFORE HE COULD RETURN THE FAVOR!
Deadprez: Too bad for Solomon cause it seems like Ms. Extreme is getting her lick back! Exchanging blows in the crowd! Making their way to the back of the arena! Hopefully they can be stopped because something tells me if they go on for any longer, someone isn’t making it to the next show!
( The camera pans on Ms. Extreme and Daniella fought until they were out of frame. Then back to the ring where Harper Lee taunts Solomon as security escorts her out and a furious Solomon and Trixie curse her out. )
(The camera cuts backstage to Kyra Phillips who is standing alongside Vincent Mondrian.)
Kyra Phillips: Well we are back here with Vincent Mondrian. One of the great Elitists we have here on Showdown! Everyone give him a warm welcome!
Vincent Mondrian: Fuck my life Kyra.
Kyra Phillips: ? What’s wrong?
Vincent Mondrian: Everything is wrong Kyra. I am not happy. I am most displeased about how this season has gone so far. Everything sucks.
Kyra Phillips: Come on Vincent! Surely it is not all that bad!
Vincent Mondrian: It actually is that bad Kyra. I mean I would say that I don’t think it could be any worse but I don’t want to tempt fate. Who knows how bad it could actually end up.
Kyra Phillips: I suppose that is an optimistic way of looking at it?
Vincent Mondrian: I don’t care about your optimism Kyra. I’m mad.
Kyra Phillips: Don’t be mad Vincent. It’s Labor Day weekend! Cheer up!
Vincent Mondrian: No. I will not cheer up. Not until my season improves and I am happy with my career.
Kyra Phillips: I see well there’s not much I can do about that. You are going to have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get out of this hole yourself young lad!
Vincent Mondrian: I guess so. Whatever tho. I’m going to march into the General Manager’s office right now and do something about it!
Kyra Phillips: Maybe choose your words carefully tho…
Vincent Mondrian: I want an opportunity at Territorial Invasion. I am the future of EAW and it is time that everyone starts recognizing that. I am not pleased with being displeased about my status on this brand. Soon enough everyone is going to recognize the name Vincent Mondrian alongside the likes of all the other main eventers around here. Because I deserve it.
Kyra Phillips: Now that is a great attitude!! Go get em champ!
Vincent Mondrian: Thanks Kyra. I am going to do exactly that. I will go get em. I will go get ALL OF THEM. Everyone who has wronged or mistreated me or treated me in a way that makes me feel the way that I do. At Territorial Invasion this dog is going to lift his leg and mark his territory! I am going to mark my territory all over this whole fucking brand!
Kyra Phillips: Just don’t piss on anyone alright? That’s a sure way to get yourself fired or suspended. Just ask Gavin Kirkland.
Vincent Mondrian: I don’t even want to know what you are talking about Kyra. But that kind of debauchery and depravity is exactly why Showdown needs someone like Vincent Mondrian to reap the souls of the lost around here. The Prince of Pain is about to administer some serious pain on all their bitch asses.
Kyra Phillips: What kind of opportunity are you thinking when it comes to Territorial Invasion?
Vincent Mondrian: I am a fierce warrior. Thus it is a perfect fit for me to be a part of Brand Warfare. And I shall be a part of it. I have decided so.
Kyra Phillips: I am not sure it is that easy…
Vincent Mondrian: Whatever Kyra. Keep hating and dickeating. I am here to forge new glory for myself and I don’t care how I end up as part of that match. I’ll just do whatever. I’ll do anything and everything to be in that match. I won’t be denied and there will be consequences for anyone who tries to stop me.
???: Anything you say?!?!?
(Suddenly Silas Mason slinks into frame as the crowd boos loudly.)
Vincent Mondrian: Oh god what do you want? This is just what I need. I just wanted to leave early tonight and go order some Arby’s. They have the meats Silas. Do you not understand this?
Silas Mason: I do understand. I understand even better than you could possibly dream of Vincent. For I too have the meats in a sense. I have the prime cuts of the roster here on Showdown as the leader and supreme overlord of Silas World. I heard you say you want an opportunity and that’s my bread and butter. I think it is time we give you an opportunity. One that you have earned.
Vincent Mondrian: About time. I’m sick of this shit. I’ve been waiting too long.
Silas Mason: So true Vincent. I have to say I am very impressed with you lately. Your match against Caroline and Harper Lee went hard as fuck. You are a real one for real and you deserve all kinds of props. I see great things in your future and want to give you the opportunity you deserve. If you take it you could have gold around your waist one day! And that shit is facts on god!
Vincent Mondrian: Hmm intriguing. I shall consider this offer. We should exchange contact information and keep in touch. I shall discuss with my associates and return to you with a counter offer.
(Vincent turns back around to face Silas who has suddenly vanished.)
Vincent Mondrian: Hmm he disappeared without saying goodbye. That is very disrespectful but I admit I am intrigued.
Kyra Phillips: No Vincent! Don’t join Silas World! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Vincent Mondrian: Don’t ever tell me what to do. Get the hell away from me. I’m leaving because I don’t need to take this anymore.
(Kyra pleads with Vincent to not listen to Silas but he brushes her hand away and leaves as she looks distressed.)
Kyra Phillips: Well it looks like Silas Mason continues to dig his claws even deeper into this roster here on Showdown. Is literally nobody around here safe from their manipulations? Hopefully Vincent Mondrian is smart enough not to listen to them. I mean he seems like a well spoken and intelligent man but I am concerned that he may be tempted by the promise of success and fall to the darkside. I pray that does not happen for the sake of all of us… I fear that dark times are ahead indeed…
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring a laptop exploding when trying to run a PS4 emulator on it.)
(Showdown transitions from the previous segment of Vincent Mondrian to the show with Gina Romano standing tall in the ring alongside two unfamiliar individuals. Soon after, ‘Betty (Get Money)’ by Yung Gravy hits, and Clayton Golde and Bridget Bridget make their way out to a wave of not-so-welcoming boos from the Sydney crowd. Clayton enters with a huge smirk plastered across his face, while Bridget seems more focused on playing around with the crowd as they both head toward the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… AT THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF 324 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF CLAYTON GOLDE AND BRIDGET BRIDGET… THEY ARE… #HASHTAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Quite the crowd to be meeting up tonight in the face of the hashtag, isn’t it?
Eve: They’re in action tonight, and we’re going to see something new following their failure at Midsummer Massacre against Showtime.
Gina Romano: AND ALREADY IN THE RING!… FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!… THE TEAM OF IAN PONTING AND ASHLEIGH VIDUKA!
Crowd: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Here we go! Match is all set between #HASHTAG and a pair of local Aussie teams looking to impress their hometown crowd while making their major EAW debut! This one’s going to be a very fun match to watch, and we’ll see if we’re getting any more rising stars tonight!
(Clayton Golde immediately asks for a handshake with Ian, who is currently the legal man for his team.)
Clayton Golde: (Off-Mic) Respect! Indeed, come on! Come and take it from the true VETERAN!
(Ian looks a bit confused for a moment but gives a subtle nod, while Clayton smiles back at him-)
Eve: AND OH, JUST LIKE THAT, CLAYTON HOOKS IAN IN AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD WITH A HARD CLOTHESLINE AS STIFF AS POSSIBLE BEFORE STOMPING DOWN ON HIM AS THE CROWD BOOS EVEN LOUDER, FURIOUS AT SEEING THEIR LOCAL FAVORITE BEING BEATEN DOWN IN SUCH AN UNFAIR DISPLAY OF ARROGANCE!!!!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Clayton has already picked that kid back up to his feet again and makes a swing… Butterfly Suplex! Ian goes flying and crashes hard against the ground!
Gavin Kirkland: But Clayton doesn’t go for the pin just yet. Instead, he pulls him right back up off the mat and drags him into his own team’s corner, clearly unsatisfied with the punishment so far… BEFORE DRIVING HIM THROUGH THE CORNER HARD, ALMOST SPLITTING HIM IN HALF WITH THE 304!!!!!! A BRUTAL HIP TOSS LEAVES IAN’S BACK IN AGONY THAT HE’LL BE FEELING THAT FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS!!!!!
Eve: Ian takes a brutal collision into the corner, and that might have already shut him down. Clayton Golde looks over to Bridget Bridget, and now he’s tagging her in as she steps into the ring!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget Bridget takes center stage this time inside the ring, standing tall as she watches Ian suffering. Ashleigh looks desperate to make a hurried tag, while Bridget just stands there waiting….
Bridget Bridget: (Off-Mic) Yes, come on, guys! Let’s do this together! Remember? WE WRESTLE!
Eve: Ian’s back is already in immense pain from taking the full force of the 304, but he eventually manages to crawl toward his corner and make the tag! Viduka storms into the ring-
(TAG!)
Eve: And Ashleigh comes in right off the bat with high momentum, knowing they’re suddenly face a dangerous threat! Ashleigh charges in at full speed and delivers a powerful swinging clothesline to Bridget, who had been standing there waiting for her opponent to make a move for quite some time!
Gavin Kirkland: Bridget makes a full sprint to avoid the clothesline, ducking under Ashleigh’s swinging arm and bouncing off the corner as soon as he misses… RUNNING KNEE KICK RIGHT ACROSS HIS JAW THAT PUTS HIM DOWN!!!!!
Deadprez: Ashleigh is in a bad spot right away as Bridget capitalizes quickly… BRIDGE-KICK CRACKS ASHLEIGH IN THE JAW!!!!!! BRUTAL!!!!!!
Eve: Ian struggles back to his feet, barely able to walk as he tries to make the save but Clayton Golde turns into the ring and interferes immediately… ONE INCH PUNCH RIGHT ACROSS HIS JAW AND THAT KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now the two begin dragging Ian over his partner’s body, while Bridget makes her way to the top rope. Clayton Golde opens his arms in welcome as she balances herself with great composure and Bridget stands tall on top!… BRIDGE-SAULT BEAUTIFULLY ONTO BOTH MEN STACKED ON ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!! A COVER!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!…. #HASHTAG!
(Clayton casually brushes the dust off his shoulders as soon as the bell rings, while Bridget steps out onto the apron and raises her arms proudly, embracing the victory they earned tonight amid the loud boos raining down from the Sydney fans.)
Eve: Two local men tried their best to put on a show tonight, but things didn’t go in their favor, ending in a way they surely didn’t want, with crowd’s reaction made it even bigger as Clayton Golde couldn’t stop playing up his cowardly antics to leave all the fans disgusted by their behavior.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, definitely not me, because I absolutely adore everything Bridget Bridget is about, and Clayton wouldn’t be nearly as good without her!
Deadprez: We know you, dawg.
(‘Betty (Get Money)’ by Yung Gravy continues to play in the background as #HASHTAG celebrates their easy win over the local Aussie wrestlers tonight before Showdown fades into a commercial break shortly after.)
(The camera cuts from the ringside area to the backstage area where we see the lovely Mikaela Street standing in front of a bright blue Showdown banner. She has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she begins to speak.)
Mikaela Street: Ladies and gentlemen! What a night it has been so far here tonight on Saturday Night Showdown and let me tell you that the best is yet to come from all the stars of Showdown. Especially with Territorial Invasion on the horizon.
Mikaela Street: Now let me introduce you to my guest at this time. She is one of Showdown’s rising stars and will no doubt be one of the bright lights of the future of EAW. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time… AUBURN WARE!!
(Seconds later, Auburn comes into camera view and stands next to Mikaela. She has a smile on her face as she is feeling pretty good with life about now. Auburn and Mikaela exchange silent pleasantries before Mikeala speaks up.)
Mikaela Street: Auburn, it is a pleasure to have you here. Thank you so much for sparing some of your time for this interview.
Auburn Ware: No no. The pleasure is mine. Thank you for having me, Mikaela. It’s great to be here.
Mikaela Street: Thank you for that. Now before I get into the questions, allow me to congratulate you on your hard fought victory last week over Clayton Golde.
Auburn Ware: Thank you for that. It was a tough match and I made sure to not let his attitude override the fact that he can go in the ring and that if I wasn’t careful, I would have lost that match. But I was able to catch Clayton off guard when he was bragging and showing off to his live stream people and it cost him. It was his own fault.
Mikaela Street: Since the match, Clayton and Bridget have been mentioning on all their streaming and social media platforms that you just got lucky last week because the referee didn’t catch you cheating.
(Auburn looks at Mikaela with a look on her face which looks like a combination of being dumbfounded by #Hashtag’s statements and the fact that she is not surprised that they are acting like that.
Auburn Ware: Are you serious right now?
Mikaela Street: I wish I was joking, but I am not.
Auburn Ware: This is just like what I was talking about before. People saying that Auburn Ware won by dumb luck or Auburn Ware won because the referee didn’t catch her cheating. I don’t know about you, Mikaela, but I didn’t see any cheating going on. Did you?
Mikaela Street: To be honest… I saw no cheating going on.
Auburn Ware: Exactly. So Clayton and Bridget Bridget Bridget Bridget need to stop complaining and work harder at getting better in the ring. The more they whine, the more stupid they sound. Don’t you think so, Mikaela.
Mikaela Street: I can’t answer that. Professional neutrality on all issues.
Auburn Ware: Understandable. I get what you mean.
Mikaela Street: But what I can make a comment on is the fact that you have been on a roll lately. Picking up huge victories left and right. There’s no doubt that your stock is definitely rising on Showdown and EAW as a whole.
Auburn Ware: Absolutely. I think that people are really starting to notice what Auburn Ware is all about. Nobody can ignore the fact that my record lately has been one of the best in the company. I told the world that I am ready to make my statement and truly begin making my mark in EAW.
Mikaela Street: There is strong conviction in your words and a lot of people better begin acknowledging what you are saying. My question to you is after getting a string of victories like you have been… What is the next step for Auburn Ware?
Auburn Ware: What is my next step? It’s pretty simple when you think about it. Sure the victories are great and momentum building. The victories can really do a lot for a person’s self esteem. As selfish as this might sound, the victories aren’t enough.
Mikaela Street: What exactly do you mean the victories aren’t enough?
Auburn Ware: I don’t mean that as negatively as it sounds. What I mean is that I want to grow and flourish as a competitor here. I don’t want to be complacent in my career by being happy with simply winning. The moment I start accepting complacency is the moment where my career is over. I want to be the best in the world and that starts by wanting more.
Mikaela Street: Nothing negative about it. I see what you mean. What is the next step in wanting more in your eyes?
Auburn Ware: It’s the same goal that everybody who has ever stepped into a wrestling ring to compete has ever wanted. Of course, I want to make an impact in this company, that is very obvious. I have started to do that already, but in my eyes, the best is yet to come.
Auburn Ware: But what I also want is that symbol that shows the world that I am the best in my division. You already know, Mikaela, that I am talking about getting a chance to compete for some championship gold.
Mikaela Street: I can respect that goal. So my next question to you is what exactly do you have in mind to help you reach that goal.
(Auburn starts tapping on her temple for a second as thinks about her answer before the smile on her face gets a little bigger.)
Auburn Ware: Well I do have something in mind.
Mikaela Street: What is it? Please share.
Auburn Ware: Well, Mikaela. Just like everybody else on the roster, I want to be part of Territorial Invasion.
Mikaela Street: You want to be part of Territorial Invasion?
Auburn Ware: Of course I do. Think about it this way, Mikaela. Remember earlier how I said I wanted to make as big of an impact as I possibly could in this company?
(Mikaela looks at Auburn and nods her head in the affirmative that she does remember what Auburn said about making an impact.)
Auburn Ware: I knew you would, Mikaela. You see, Territorial Invasion is one of the bigger events that EAW holds every season. To make it even better, Territorial Invasion is the FIRST big tri-branded event of the season.
Mikaela Street: You are correct there.
Auburn Ware: So if I am wanting to make a BIGGER impact, why not use a BIGGER event to make that impact. The bigger the event, the more the impact made is amplified. If I start at Territorial Invasion, imagine how big the impacts will be until I win my first title in EAW.
Mikaela Street: You have certainly thought through this with a lot of detail, Auburn.
Auburn Ware: Of course. Leave no stone unturned.
Mikaela Street: With that being said, I know that you want to be part of the big Territorial Invasion event, but is there anything in particular that you would like to do?
(Auburn smiles and shakes her head no.)
Auburn Ware: Nothing in particular. Honestly, I really don’t care how I am part of the Territorial Invasion event, but all I know is that I want to be part of it. I will take any opportunity that is sent my way. You already know how I take care of business, Mikaela. When I am given any opportunity, I will make the most of it. I want to do something BIG at Territorial Invasion.
Mikaela Street: I certainly do. If and when you are given an opportunity at Territorial Invasion, you will use it to its full potential.
Auburn Ware: Like I said before, I am more than ready to make an Impact.
Mikaela Street: Now before we finish this interview, do you have any final words?
(Auburn smiles and looks towards the camera.)
Auburn Ware: I have to give a big thank you to all the fans for their support, but stay tuned. The best is yet to come from Auburn Ware.
Mikaela Street: Thank you again for your time, Auburn.
Auburn Ware: It was a pleasure.
(Auburn smiles and walks away as Mikaela turns back to look at the camera.)
Mikaela Street: There you have it. One determined competitor ready to make an impact here in Elit—
(Mikaela is cut off by the sight of Impact walking up to her and we can hear a mixed reaction coming from the crowd in the background before he looks at Mikaela.)
Mikaela Street: Impact! Is there anything that I can help you with?
(Impact doesn’t say anything, but all he does is simply smile.)
Mikaela Street: Umm… oooookkkkkkk.
(The final shot is a close up shot of Impact still standing next to Mikaela and smiling as the camera shot cuts elsewhere….)
(The camera shot cuts from the backstage area with Mikaela Street back to the ringside area. There is a brief pause in action at the ringside area at the moment, but that doesn’t last very long as we see Jake Smith enter the arena to the sounds of ‘Metalingus’ by Alter Bridge playing throughout the arena. The crowd doesn’t care as they just start booing Jake in the hopes that he goes away. But Jake loves himself too much and doesn’t care about what the crowd thinks of him as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! At this time, please welcome “THE PROCESS” JAKE SMITH!!
Gavin Kirkland: Isn’t it great to see Jake Smith coming out to the ring. I mean we could be watching the next Answers World Champion coming to the ring right now. But my heart is torn because Veena is so beautiful but Jake is Jake.
Eve: Jake Smith is an egotistical pain in the ass who is only in business for himself even though he is in a group. Which is obvious by the way he talked last week during the contract signing with Alana Starr.
Deadprez: Jake can definitely be a pompous jackass, but he does have a lot of talent in that ring. That talent will be on display when he takes on Veena for the Answers World Championship. He’s made his way to the ring with a purpose, so there’s no doubt something on his mind… if that’s possible, but let’s hear what he has to say.
(Jake walks past Gina and grabs a microphone before rolling into the ring. He gets to his feet and stands front and center before his entrance music fades off. He listens to the crowd continue to boo him for a moment longer before he begins to speak.)
Jake Smith: Did you guys even realize how ANNOYING it was having to listen to Veena Adams speak last week. Her voice is like damn nails on a chalkboard. If you ask me, I think she hit her head a little too hard because some of the crap that came out of her mouth was absolutely ridiculous.
(The crowd starts booing again after having to listen to Jake insult the very popular Answers World Champion.)
Jake Smith: Just shut up. The only reason you idiots are acting like this is because I’m right. Did you hear her say that I was the worst Answers World Champion in history? Yeah right. I mean you people don’t believe her, do you?
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Jake Smith: Then you people are just as stupid as she is. Just because you all like her and she’s got fake everything doesn’t mean you have to believe every word she says. Think for yourselves, people.
(The crowd continues to boo Jake in the hopes to get him to leave, but he just rolls his eyes in frustration and continues on.)
Jake Smith: You all are hopeless. You people don’t even realize how great of a champion I was when I was the Answers World Champion. I was the World Champion that the other World Champions wished that they could be like.
Jake Smith: Ever since then, the star quality of the Answers World Championship has gone into the toilet and now it’s at its worst point with Veena Adams holding it. What the Answers World Championship and Showdown as a whole needs again. We need to go back to the glory days…
Jake Smith: The days where Showdown had a REAL man and a REAL man holding the Answers World Championship. Showdown needs a Hall of Famer to be the one to carry the mantle… that REAL man is ME! Because I ca–
(Jake is cut off by the sounds of “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande playing throughout the arena. All the boos that have been directed towards Jake have quickly turned into loud cheers as the Answers World Champion Veena Adams enters the arena. She has the title firmly around her waist as she heads to the ring.)
Deadprez: To quote a classic tagline, business is about to pick up here as the Answers World Champion, Veena Adams, is here and she is heading right to the ring to confront her future challenger.
Gavin Kirkland: As much as I love Veena since she is beauty personified….
Eve: You are such a creep.
Gavin Kirkland: LET ME FINISH!! As beautiful as she is, she tried to cheap shot Jake last week with the title belt. She wanted to crack his skull, but Jake was too quick and got away. His brain power is truly on another level.
Eve: Yeah. On a lower level. But be that as it may, Gavin Kirkland is having a case of revisionist history. Yes, Veena did try to clock Jake with the belt, but that was AFTER Caroline tried to use the mist to try and blind Veena.
Deadprez: Jake got away last week, but will it work in his favor two weeks in a row? Especially with a World Champion who doesn’t just get mad. She gets EVEN!
(Veena walks over to the timekeeper’s area and grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before she enters the ring. Veena gets right in Jake’s face as her entrance music fades away. The crowd is still cheering for her which causes Jake to plug his ears before Veena snatches his arm away. Jake is getting more annoyed by the second as Veena decides to speak.)
Veena Adams: Oh, Jakey. You just don’t know when to keep your mouth shut, do you?
Jake Smith: What the hell are you talking about?
Veena Adams: You remind me of an old quote I heard before. Jake Smith is the personification of “it’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people THINK you’re stupid than to open your mouth and prove them right.
(The crowd cheers loudly at Veena’s burn toward Jake. Jake didn’t think that was very funny, but he keeps his composure.)
Jake Smith: What do you want? The next Answers World Champion was speaking.
Veena Adams: Well the CURRENT Answers World Champion is speaking now and the CURRENT Answers World Champion is calling you out on your bullshit, you delusional midget.
Jake Smith: You don’t have a damn clue, do you? What have I said that was bullshit? Please enlighten me, Veena.
Veena Adams: Look, small fry. I am going to give you the reality of things and you are not going to like what I am going to say.
Jake Smith: Oh I’m sure that you will and I am sure that I probably won’t. Not that it will affect me. So go on and say what your blonde bimbo brain came up with.
Veena Adams: Look, stupid! You are not the superstar you make yourself out to be. You are NOT this “manly man” Hall of Famer. You are full of hot air and all washed up in terms of your career.
Jake Smith: You must be talking about your career because I know you’re not talking about mine.
Veena Adams: Jake, can’t you see? You are nothing more than a novelty act that gets stale as quickly as it arrives. This is about the future of this business. This is about the future of Elite Answers Wrestling. And Jake? You’re not in the plans for the future.
(Jake looks at Veena and he looks like he is about to blow up, but instead he starts laughing to the point of hysterics. Veena keeps an even expression even though she has no clue what he’s laughing about.)
Veena Adams: I’m glad you find humor in your dwindling career.
Jake Smith: Oh no, bitch. I wasn’t laughing at your stupid remarks. I was laughing at the fact that I am ALWAYS five steps ahead.
Veena Adams: You’re more like five steps behind because those little legs of yours don’t let you walk very fast.
Jake Smith: Oh, Veena. You really need to stop being so damn gullible all the damn time. That way you won’t keep falling into traps.
(Veena has a confused look on her face as she wonders what in the hell Jake is talking about.)
Veena Adams: Traps? What the fuck are you talking a-
(Veena gets cut off as she gets attacked from behind.)
Eve: THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION JUST GOT ATTACKED FROM BEHIND! WELL WHAT A SURPRISE! IT’S CAROLINE AND XANDER PAYNE! THE EVIL ELF AND THE LARDASS!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOO! FIGURA PRISMANTIS IS HERE IN FULL FORCE AND THEY ARE BEATING DOWN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!
Deadprez: FROM BEHIND!! THEY HAVE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF VEENA AND NOW JAKE IS TELLING THEM TO BRING HER UP!!
Eve: I don’t like this! Veena has been pulled to her knees as Jake pulls down the knee pad and hits the ropes. Jake with the rebound UNTIL HE HITS VEENA IN THE BACK OF THE SKULL!!
Gavin Kirkland: “GOD COMPLEX”! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS OUT COLD AND NOW JAKE IS STANDING TALL OVER VEENA!
(Jake stands over Veena and grabs the Answers World Championship in the air to the sound of boos from the crowd as ‘Metalingus’ starts playing again. He stands over Veena for a moment before leaving the ring with the rest of Figura Prismantis.)
Eve: Wait a second! I am glad that those three are leaving the ring, BUT JAKE IS ACTUALLY LEAVING WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! PUT THAT DOWN, YOU BASTARD!!
Gavin Kirkland: This is the most amazing thing ever! Jake is really showing that he should be holding the title right now. Look how good he looks with it.
Deadprez: Jake might be digging his own grave after that stunt. He is leaving with the Answers World Championship right now, but when Veena wakes up, she is going to stop at nothing to get it back. She’s not gonna get mad. She’s gonna get even, dawg!
(The final shot shows Figura Prismantis walking up the entrance ramp as he holds the Answers World Championship in the air for the booing crowd to see before cutting to Veena, who is just barely starting to move as the camera shot cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“24’s” by TI hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first being accompanied by Luna and Akari Kiyoko, representing SHOWTIME, he is DAMIENNNNNNNNNNNNN KUTCHERRRRRRRR!!!!
(Showtime make their way down to the ring giving free merch to the fans at ringside.)
Eve: I think we are looking at the future of tag team wrestling right here you guys. They really have all the skills and more to succeed in this game!
Deadprez: No doubt no doubt. But tonight Damien has one of the largest challenges in the history of his career. An absolutely massive challenge unlike any he has faced before.
Gavin Kirkland: Definitely a “large” and “massive” challenge alright.
Deadprez: Will you stop?
(“It Follows” by Cane Hill hits to boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent being accompanied by Caroline and Jake Smith, representing Figura Prismatis… XANDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PAYNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(Xander Payne comes out to ringside taking away the merch from the fans who received it from Showtime moments ago and tearing it up.)
Eve: Figura Prismatis is no doubt a real force to be reckoned with. Xander is not an easy opponent even without these circumstances.
Deadprez: The ringside area is packed for this match. All of these combustible elements and something has got to give.
Gavin Kirkland: I will be surprised if the ring doesn’t give when Xander steps into it.
Deadprez: That’s enough we don’t support body shaming in this space.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: We are underway now as Xander Payne and Damien Kutcher square off in the middle of the ring. Wait Caroline and Akari Kiyoko just got into the ring also. They are interfering immediately!
Referee: Oh nah.
Deadprez: The referee is now forcing Caroline and Akari to leave the ring. Such things like this interference won’t be tolerated. The competitors square off again and lock up in the middle of the ring. This time they succeed as Damien quickly grabs the arm of Xander and twists it around into an armbar. But Xander grabs the leg and sweeps it causing Damien to let go. Damien back up as Xander shoves him into the ropes until Damien ducks under the ropes and the referee forces the break. Xander backs off as Damien approaches him cautiously. Xander grabs Damien around the waist but Damien ducks around behind and gets Xander in a headlock. Xander tries to kick the leg out from under Damien and succeeds transitioning into a Headlock of his own! But Damien shoves Xander off him and into the ropes. Xander comes blasting back off the ropes like a freight train ramming into Damien and sending him flying and flipping across the ring!
Eve: Damien with a look of annoyance on his face as he gets back up slowly having clearly been bested by Xander. But that is nothing to be ashamed of given Xander’s legendary status in this company. Xander goes to quickly lock Damien into a headlock as soon as he gets back up. But Damien had it scouted and slips out of it. Damien grabs Xander by the hair behind the head and yanks him down to his knees but Xander with a headbutt out of nowhere! Damien responds with a hard back chop as Xander staggers back to the ropes. Xander comes back and hits another Shoulder Block knocking Damien down. Xander off the ropes but Damien ducks down and Xander jumps over him. Xander comes back as Damien is lying in wait… Damien grabs Xander by the head and slaps him hard disrespectfully over the back of the head!
Deadprez: Xander turns around and rushes in at Damien trying to take his head off… but Damien leapfrogs him doing the splits in midair with impressive athleticism. Wait Xander turns around suddenly behind Damien and grabs him from behind! Xander goes for a German Suplex! But Damien with hard elbow strikes to the head of Xander slipping out of it. Damien turns around wildly as Xander is there waiting for him! Xander with a shit eating grin on his face as he gestures to Damien that he was “this close” to being dropped on the back of his neck there. Damien does not look happy about this but deep down he has to admit that Xander has a point.
Gavin Kirkland: Xander might have a shit eating grin now but usually he just has an eating grin. Cuz he is always eating.
Eve: Damien is not letting Xander’s mindgames get to him as he slowly gets back into the action pacing around the ring but taking his time out here… But Xander is impatient! Xander lunges at Damien who side steps and goes around grabbing him from behind by the waist. Now Damien is going for a German Suplex of his own! But Xander breaks out of it and ducks around behind back of Damien and locks his arms around the waist! Which man will hit the German first?!?
Gavin Kirkland: So much drama over a move that probably won’t even end the match…
Deadprez: Maybe not but it will let whoever hits it take control of the match! Xander goes to throw Damien back but Damien kicks at the leg of Xander and slips out ducking beneath and out of his arms! Damien runs up to the middle rope and jumps off! But Xander had him scouted! Big mistake as Xander grabs the leg of Damien sweeping him off the ropes and sending him crashing down to the mat in pain. Xander then runs the ropes and hits a Somersault Senton on top of Damien! Xander gets all of it crashing down on Damien!
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY SHIT I FELT AN EARTHQUAKE!!! THE WHOLE ARENA IS SHAKING!!!
Eve: Calm down Gavin… That was just your phone vibrating.
Gavin Kirkland: My bad I have my notifications ready for when Clayton Golde and Bridget Bridget go live… Can’t miss a minute of that!
Deadprez: Watch it later… You are on the job bro…
Gavin Kirkland: I am a world class multitasker!
Eve: Well speaking of multitasking it looks like Xander just dropped a leg across the chest of Damien and then transitioned into the cover! Xander doing some damage and about to pick up that W real quick!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-
Deadprez: Kickout! Xander immediately back up as he kicks and stomps at Damien who tries to roll away from him. Xander kicks Damien hard who rolls into the ropes and pulls himself up. But Xander meets Damien as he is standing up throwing hard blows and punches to his gut. Damien keels over into the ropes as Xander yanks him out and slams his fists down repeatedly on Damien’s back. Damien collapses down to the mat but Xander pulls him up. Xander goes for a Back Drop on Damien!-
Eve: But Akari reached under the bottom rope and grabbed the leg of Xander! The referee did not even see it!
Deadprez: Damien flips out of the Back Drop and grabs Xander from behind getting him in position for a Reverse DDT! But Xander grabs the head of Damien from behind and throws him to the ground with a Snapmare Takedown. Damien hits the mat as he rolls back up to his feet. But Xander kicks Damien hard in the gut and then transitions into a Stunner!!! No! Damien counters shoving Xander off the ropes. Xander goes face first into the ropes before bouncing off and turning around right into Damien! Damien slaps the shit out of Xander! And now Xander is yelling at Damien and getting right up in his face not responding well to the disrespect. Xander is complaining loudly about Akari’s interference but Damien is denying any knowledge of it! And now Jake Smith is getting up on the ropes and yelling at the referee about what happened. But the referee didn’t see anything!
Gavin Kirkland: So it’s fine when the referee doesn’t do their job? But when I take a few minutes of me time everyone on commentary has to bitch about it…
Eve: Well the difference is that the referee isn’t not doing their job on purpose… unlike you…
Gavin Kirkland: I assure you that when I take trips to the women’s locker room between commercial breaks it is purely part of my job as an investigative journalist and reporter for Elite Answers Wrestling.
Eve: :francis:
Deadprez: Xander Payne now going to lock up again with Damien Kutcher but Damien ducks around behind and locks Xander in a Sleeper Hold! But Xander quickly yanks the arms free of his opponent. But Damien slides under the legs of Xander and grabs his leg from behind! Damien tries to take Xander off his feet but Xander maintains his footing. Xander punches at Damien into the corner and then runs in crushing him at full speed. Xander yanks Damien back into the ring and picks him up with a Suplex! No! Damien counters into a Small Package!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: But Xander with the kickout! Xander moves over to the corner annoyed by the fact Damien just tried to steal it. Akari Kiyoko is up on the apron now too but Xander takes a swing at him! Akari jumps down and Damien rushes in to take advantage! Damien grabs Xander’s arm from behind and tries to take him down into an Armbar but Xander powers out of it! Xander back up but Damien runs the ropes and hits a Missile Dropkick sending Xander over the top rope! Xander flips backwards over the top rope but lands on his feet on the outside!!! Damien now looks to take advantage as Xander turns around!!! DAMIEN CHARGES TOWARDS THE ROPE!!!
Deadprez: TOPE SUICIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Gavin Kirkland: No! Xander had it scouted and caught Damien in middair!!! Xander grabs Damien around the waist twisting him in midair and slamming him hard into the barricade! All the fans in the front row just jumped out of their seats in terror as they are now getting just a lil bit too close to this action! And that right there was a game changing move from Xander Payne and why he has been as successful as he has been in this business.
Eve: Xander is not finished however as he stalks Damien on the floor. Damien gets back up as Xander rushes him sending him back first into the apron. Damien collapses to the mat now as Xander climbs up on the barricade! But wait here is Akari Kiyoko to distract him! But Caroline now appears to distract Akari as Xander lunges off the barricade!!!
Deadprez: FLYING SPLASH OFF THE BARRICADE CONNECTS! HOLY FUCK! XANDER JUST CRUSHED HIM!
Eve: Xander probably broke every bone in Damien’s body landing on top of him like that. Xander is a very dangerous man. Xander picks Damien up and rams him face first into the steel post. Xander then throws Damien back into the ring and is looking to put him away!
Deadprez: But as soon as Xander climbs up to the apron Damien gets a second wind out of nowhere! Damien rushes the apron and shoves Xander off! Xander falls off the apron landing on top of Caroline ! Oh no! That might have stopped the interference on Xander’s behalf because Caroline just got crushed!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Damn that looked painful as fuck… Someone needs to go and comfort her right now!!!
Eve: I think Jake Smith has that covered. You aren’t really needed over there.
Gavin Kirkland: You are right. I am needed here. On commentary doing what I do best.
Eve: You are not needed here either.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: !
Deadprez: Jake Smith is checking on Caroline but it looks like Damien is out to take full advantage here. Xander has fallen to the outside and Damien runs the ropes again! He’s going for it a second time! This might be a bad idea as it failed very badly the first time!!!
Eve: TOPE SUICIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Deadprez: And this time Damien Kutcher got all of it! He just nailed Xander and completely turned the tide of this match! Damien gives Luna a high five at ringside before standing up on top of the steel steps and posing for the crowd.
Gavin Kirkland: Why is Luna showing appreciation to this guy instead of me? Come on over here and sit on Uncle Gavin’s lap.
Eve: Nah you just gotta shut the fuck up.
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa:
Deadprez: I agree with Eve. But Damien Kutcher and Luna don’t give a damn about that as Damien is rolling and looking to win the hell out of this match! Damien slides Xander back into the ring and leaps on top of him for the cover! This could be it!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Eve: But Xander Payne kicks out at the last millisecond! It was almost so over but Xander has survived!
Deadprez: Xander doesn’t seem to even know where he is as Damien grabs him by the head and slowly pulls him up. Damien then whips Xander hard down to the ring with a German Suplex! Looks like someone finally hit one and it was Damien! Impressive strength to lift Xander like that too.
Gavin Kirkland: Damn that was an earth shattering slam right there. Tectonic plates being moved n shit.
Eve: Xander is down as Damien transitions into a Cross Armbar wrapping the legs around Xander’s arm! Xander reaches out towards the ropes!
Deadprez: But look at Jake Smith pushing the bottom rope in closer! Xander easily grabs onto it as Jake lets go and then yells at the referee who notices! The interference in this match is really getting out of hand!
Eve: And Luna is sick of it as well! She walks around the ring and slaps the shit out of Jake! And Caroline is back up too as she charges in and takes Luna down with a Spear!!! Akari Kiyoko then rushes in and throws a punch at Jake’s head!!! An all out brawl has erupted on the outside of the ring!
Deadprez: Meanwhile inside the ring Damien was forced to let go of that Cross Armbar as Xander gets back up and turns around-
Gavin Kirkland: Damien tips Xander over backwards and hooks the leg! Damien twists Xander around into The Divine Submission! Damien is finna make Xander tap the fuck out!!!
Eve: Damien is really applying that thing heavily on Xander who is screaming! Jake Smith tries to push the rope towards Xander but Akari Kiyoko comes flying in and drops him with an Enzuigiri! Xander has to get to the ropes all on his own this time! Xander slowly crawls his way over to the ropes! He reaches out in desperation!!!-
Deadprez: And Xander just barely makes it to the bottom rope! Damien pulls Xander up and gets him in Piledriver position! But wait! Caroline is back up!
Eve: Caroline is up and she is distracting Damien from connecting with the Divine Ultimate Finish! If Damien hits this it is all over!!!
Deadprez: But the distraction worked as Xander gets out of it! The referee is yelling for Caroline to get down!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander hits a low blow from behind on Damien!! Xander gets Damien in position!!!
Eve: XANDER CONNECTS WITH THE LAST SEDATION! IT’S ALL OVER! XANDER TO THE COVER!!!
( “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande hits as the crowd explodes. )
Deadprez: HOLY FUCK! BUSINESS HAS JUST PICKED UP!!! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS HERE!!!
Eve: And she is making her way down to ringside!
Gavin Kirkland: Why the hell is she out here?!?!?!
Deadprez: I think we know full well why she is out here! Veena jumps into the fray tackling Jake Smith to the ground and she is beating the shit out of him!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is getting his ass beat and Caroline is yanking Veena off but Akari Kiyoko from behind hits a Running Knee knocking her over!!!
Eve: Xander Payne is yelling at Veena Adams to go away but Damien Kutcher is back up and behind Xander!! Xander turns around–
Deadprez: But Akari Kiyoko slides into the ring too as the referee is on the outside trying to pull Veena off Jake!
Eve: Damien lifts Xander into the air as Akari rushes in–
Deadprez: A DIVINE PEACH DREAM CONNECTS!!! HOLY SHIT XANDER JUST GOT OBLITERATED BY THE SIGNATURE MOVE OF SHOWTIME!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari Kiyoko now sliding back in as he grabs the referee and hurls him back into the ring by force! The referee turns around and finds Damien covering Xander! The referee with haste slides into the count!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… DAMIENNNNNNNNN KUTCHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“24’s” by TI hits as the crowd is stunned but then explodes into cheers!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: Holy shit what an upset!!! DAMIEN KUTCHER JUST DEFEATED XANDER PAYNE!!! HOW COULD THIS BE?!?!
Eve: This match was all nonstop interference and bullshit from the start! Veena Adams’ arrival most definitely turned the tide! And when it came down to it the tag team teamwork of Showtime shown through in the end!
Deadprez: And Damien Kutcher is getting the hell out of here! Xander Payne is slowly coming to and realizing what just happened and that he lost the match!!
(Veena Adams is shown grabbing a chair as she smashes Jake Smith with it over the back.)
Eve: The match might be done but Veena is just getting started! She wants Jake’s ass!
Deadprez: But here comes security! We have a show to continue after all!
(Security comes out and drags Veena Adams away backstage as she struggles violently and the crowd chants “Let Them Fight”.)
Eve: Damn that was chaos for sure. I don’t think Veena is done with Jake by a long shot either!
(The camera cuts to a commercial with an ominous countdown. When the countdown ends the commercial reveals that it wasn’t actually counting down to anything, and makes fun of you for wasting your time getting excited for nothing.)
(Backstage….
There seems to be some commotion in the back as Xander Payne is slamming things while Jake Smith and Caroline try to calm him down. But he is not having any of it after what happened earlier tonight against SHOWTIME! And Damien Kutcher thanks to the distraction of Veena Adams. )
Xander Payne: You better beat her for the Answers World Championship, or I swear!
Jake Smith: First off, there is no need to “swear”, secondly I will beat her so relax, we all know that on any given day you would beat that guy’s ass, both of them. We will get them back, because now we need to concentrate on the Answers World Championship.
Caroline: Both of you need to stay focused and stop letting the little things bother you. It is so pedestrian.
Xander Payne: Pedestrian!? Look, I get it, but I have been on a roll, and I too want Championship gold around our waist and let’s not forget that Silas World seems to be the center of attention here! We ARE!
Caroline: Yes Xander, we are, don’t worry, they are the loudest, we are the strongest. Now please, stop yelling, you are giving me a headache.
Xander Payne: Well excuse me but –
(Before Xander Payne could finish, they hear noises from the hallway as SHOWTIME! Walks by and sees Xander stewing in the locker room.)
Damien Kutcher: Hey dawg, look at this, we got Xander crying.
Akari Kiyoko: Oh look, it’s a loser.
Xander Payne: Loser, we all know that Veena had everything to do with what happened so far as I’m concerned it just proved that you can’t beat me.
Damien Kutcher: I mean if you want, we can throw down right now, dawg, you tell me.
(As Xander gets closer to Damien Kutcher, Jake gets in between them both along with Akari, Luna and Caroline both look on and looking like not even a care in the world.)
Luna: Let me know when you two are done, I’m hungry.
(Caroline just watches, looking annoyed.)
Jake Smith: Enough, we will make another rematch soon, but right now we are NOT going to have any of this!
???: NO, YOU ARE NOT.
(The voice sounds familiar as Silas Mason walks in with Donovan Duke as both SHOWTIME! And Figura Prismatis both turn toward Silas and Donovan, who are then flanked by the rest of Silas World.)
Jake Smith: What the hell do you want?
Silas Mason: What do I want? No, it’s what we have so I am sure that both you Xander and SHOWTIME! Need to hear. See, as we know Donovan Duke is the Captain of the Showdown Brand Warfare Team. He is the one that makes the decisions and well, he has chosen some of you to be on the team.
Akari Kiyoko: We want our Unified Tag Team Championship match.
Donovan Duke: Yeah, well that is not going to happen considering Fire & Ice are on the Dynasty Brand Warfare Team.
(There is a silence between The SHOWTIME! Team. They look at one another and look as if they are ready to listen.)
Silas Mason: Ready to listen?
Damien Kutcher: Go ahead.
Silas Mason: The way we see it, what better way than to prove that you are the next Tag Team Champions then by being part of Team Brand Warfare and winning it for Showdown. Think about it for a second. SHOWTIME! Is the team that outlasted Fire & Ice. The way I see it, they are ducking you guys.
Donovan Duke: Silas does bring up a good point. I mean, this is a way to prove dominance and besides, it seems like they are not serious about your challenge.
(Damien and Akari look at one another, then back to Luna who nods.)
Damien Kutcher: Yeah, we in.
Akari Kiyoko: Consider it done.
Donovan Duke: Good, which is why all of us here need to stop fighting because I need a hoss on the team and that is –
(But before Donovan can finish Daryl Kinkade walks in.)
Daryl Kinkade: Hold up mate, you are not inviting people on the team without consoling with me.
Donovan Duke: Actually, I am because I am the senior captain here. Look, we appreciate the input but go back to whatever hole you crawled out of and let the adults make the decisions.
Daryl Kinkade: Listen to me very carefully, we were made co-captains and so if you get to pick SHOWTIME! Then I get to choose the next one.
Donovan Duke: No, you can have an opinion, and it will be duly noted but not changed. So, we choose you Xander Payne. I think you would be a great addition and look at it this way, help us win, Kennedy will give us whatever we want, right?
(Xander starts to think about it, and while he is still angry at what happened earlier, t does make sense to join the team because if they do win, Kennedy will give them whatever they desire. Xander looks at Daryl who is annoyed but what he doesn’t realize is that Pandora is standing behind him, he turns to look at her.)
Pandora Paisley: Fall in line, love.
Daryl Kinkade: I’m not you.
Pandora Paisley: Obviously.
(Just then Xander nods.)
Xander Payne: Fine, I’m in.
Silas Mason: Perfect, see? Everything is settled! We will excuse ourselves now.
(Silas World turns around and walks out. SHOWTIME is left there staring at Figura Prismatis. Daryl just shakes his head and leaves too, as the scene fades to the last commercial break of the evening.)
(Showdown fades back in from the commercial break for the Main Event with ‘Another World’ by Gojira playing, drawing loud boos from the crowd as Donovan Duke and Harper Lee make their way out to the ring. They’re soon joined by the rest of Silas World, followed by Silas Mason himself, who steps onto the stage with a very serious look on his face before leading everyone down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… THE ACCOMPANIED BY SILAS MASON!… TEAM OF EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, HARPER LEE AND DONOVAN DUKE!… THEY ARE… SILASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!… WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
(All members of Silas World are getting into the ring together, leaving Harper Lee and Donovan Duke down there with Brian Hill and Pandora Paisley standing right beside Silas Mason. Whatever good energy they carried quickly turns sour when ‘LIKE WEEZY’ by Playboi Carti hits, as Joso makes his way onto the center stage. He looks around through the EAW split as a whole before taking off his shirt and begins counting each member of Silas World one by one, flashing a slight smirk before standing tall and waiting. Moments later, ‘Gloria’ by the London Symphony Orchestra plays, signaling Bea Valentine’s grand entrance onto the stage as she comes to stand beside Joso, the two sharing a quick glance into each other’s eyes before making their way to the ring together as a unified team.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS!… THE TEAM OF ETERNAL EMPRESS, BEA VALENTINE AND THE STAR PLAYER… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: The Tag Team Main Event is underway with Joso and Donovan Duke starting off as their respective team’s legal men against each other. The Star Player is making headway tonight against one of the very best that Showdown has to offer who had a strong season last year despite the chaos surrounding Silas World and their attempts to corrupt this place at times.
Eve: At certain times and in certain ways, but Joso isn’t about to let all the malicious momentum Donovan Duke carries get in his way. Both men meet in the center of the ring, Joso showing off his breakneck speed as he transitions from the collar-and-elbow tie-up into a waistlock from behind, quickly attempting a takedown!
Deadprez: Joso is already on his A-game right out of the gate by tapping into his technical skill to fit the situation but Donovan is looking to show his ring awareness as he’s quickly managing to seize one of Joso’s arms, twisting out to loosen the hold and escape the pressure Joso was applying.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke fights his way off the mat by shifting to Joso’s side and targeting the spine. He drapes an arm under Joso’s leg and flips him over into a Fisherman’s Roll-Up!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Gavin Kirkland: Kicking out quickly! Joso isn’t about to let it all slip away so easily, and Donovan’s chances of winning for his team are looking slimmer by the moment!
Eve: Joso rises to his feet and swings with a right hook, but Donovan manages to avoid it and slips behind, shoving Joso into the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: And Donovan comes in from underneath, trying to take advantage of Joso’s legs to inflict some lower-body damage, but Joso counters as he’s leaping over and dragging Donovan down with him into a Sunset Flip roll-up attempt!
Deadprez: This could backfire right into the playful hands of Donovan who seems ready for it!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Gavin Kirkland: And Donovan Duke isn’t slowing down one bit, kicking out at one with the same pace Joso showed earlier!
Eve: Joso charges in as both men scramble back to their feet, cutting Donovan off with a kick to the gut to intercept any potential offense and immediately pulling him in for Heaven’s Gate!
Deadprez: He’s about to hit it!
Gavin Kirkland: But Donovan Duke manages to gather his senses, shaking off the hold that could have spelled disaster for his team! Former Answers World Champion now scrambles out of the Package Piledriver position, dropping back to his feet and shoving Joso away!
Eve: Joso staggers back from the push but quickly darts forward again, swinging for the Bicycle Kick but Duke avoids it and comes charging off the ropes… BAM!!!! A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE FROM DONOVAN TAKES HIM DOWN!!!!
Deadprez: Joso just got blasted with that clothesline and nothing sweet about it as this match shows no signs of slowing down.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan looks to have the upper hand right away, capitalizing on the momentum as Joso tries to gather himself. Donovan seizes his opponent’s head with both hands. He could be setting up for the Sit-Out Facebuster!
Eve: But Joso finds another way out, regaining his awareness just in time! He drapes Donovan’s arms and flips him overhead with a quick armdrag!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucky break for Donovan Duke! After being shoved back toward his corner, he immediately makes the tag and the National Elite Champion enters the ring to switch things up right away!
(TAG!)
Eve: Joso gets back to his feet and quickly recognizes the situation, evening the playing field. He turns around and tags in Bea Valentine, who wasted no time offering herself as soon as she saw Harper Lee become the legal competitor!
(TAG!)
Eve: It all comes down to the Troublemaker and the Eternal Empress now! Bea Valentine makes her way into the ring and locks up with the National Elite Champion, immediately trying to take her down with a Standing Cutter!
Deadprez: Shoved away! Harper Lee counters with a quick interception, sending Valentine into the ropes… AND LEE LEAPS INTO THE AIR TO CATCH HER WITH LONELY STAR!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But Valentine slides underneath the incoming knee, causing Harper Lee to fly right over her head! Lee quickly recovers, rolling back to her feet to reset, but Valentine is already there by striking first with a stiff forearm right to the jaw as Lee gets up!
Deadprez: Lee is rocked by that forearm! Valentine drives her back into the ropes and sends her across the ring… AND SPINS OUT WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!!!!!!
Eve: Lee pulls the brakes, raising her guard just in time to block the lariat! Valentine feints and swings for a second attempt, but to no avail as Lee shuts it down immediately with a sharp Roundhouse Kick to the thigh! Valentine stumbles from the shot to her lower body!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Harper throws herself back into the ropes right after the kick connects, coming off with momentum… GOING FOR THE SHINING WIZARD TO ADD EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO HER OPPONENT!!!!!!!!
Eve: Double-leg takedown quickly applied by Valentine! She regains her composure after the Shining Wizard attempt, dropping Harper Lee to the mat immediately and wrapping the legs, twisting it out… FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK BY BEA VALENTINE!!!!
Deadprez: Former Universal Women’s Champion counters with a veteran’s instinct as she’s pulling off a quick move to gain the advantage!
Gavin Kirkland: Bea Valentine has that Figure Four locked in tight, and things aren’t looking good! Harper Lee’s painful expression tells the story as she’s struggling under the punishment Valentine is dishing out to take away her speed.
Eve: Silas World is watching from ringside, urging her to stay locked in and focused on the match!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Stay sharp, Harper! You got this!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee is trapped in the middle of the ring under the weight of that Figure Four Leg Lock! Donovan Duke quickly rushes in to break it up but Joso intercepts on his own terms, looking to catch him with a Bicycle Kick!
Eve: But Donovan Duke counters, catching Joso off guard and flipping him upside down into a strange angle…. AND APPLIES THE ANKLE LOCK ON JOSO AT THE SAME TIME BEA VALENTINE IS APPLYING HER OWN SUBMISSION ON THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!!!!!
Deadprez: Valentine sees what’s happening and reaches over… driving her elbow into Donovan’s foot!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s forcing him down to his knees slowly, but even then, he’s still hanging on tightly to that ankle lock, punishing Joso’s leg that he needs for his speed and offense!
Deadprez: Valentine is still hanging onto that elbow, driving it into the foot of Donovan Duke, and he’s facing real risk here. My God… this has broken down into all four trying to tear each other limb from limb while each one fighting to protect their partner!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke eventually drops to the canvas, sitting on his rear, and starts firing his free foot into the jaw of Bea Valentine! Valentine stumbles back, but both are still clinging to their submission holds on one another at the same time!
Eve: Valentine looks up in fury and quickly returns the favor with a stiff right hand to Donovan Duke’s head, knocking him back and answering blow for blow!
Deadprez: Donovan Duke remains seated, still wrenching that Ankle Lock to keep Joso under immense pressure as Valentine multitasks by throwing strikes across Duke’s head with her free hands as she’s delivering punishing shots while still holding onto the Figure Four Leg Lock!
Gavin Kirkland: Valentine gets distracted, trying to focus on the submission while tackling too much at once and Harper Lee slips free! Valentine’s eyes go wide… KNEE LIFT TO THE JAW JUST AS VALENTINE GETS TO HER FEET!!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan Duke sees the opening, paving a quick path to victory for his partner! Duke drags himself through the ropes to the outside and stretches out Joso’s leg even further as he’s keeping him from getting anywhere near the ring!
Deadprez: Joso is taken out for now, while Valentine struggles to get back up after that knee strike rocked her jaw. Lee rises as Valentine holds her chin and stumbles to her feet… HEADBUTT CONNECTS AS HARPER LEE BLASTS BEA VALENTINE STRAIGHT TO THE SKULL!!!!!!’
Eve: Lee just landed a devastating shot with sheer willpower! Valentine is spun around, and Lee launches herself over her shoulders, hooking the head… POISONRANA!!!!!!! HER HEAD SPIKES AGAINST THE MAT!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE IS DOWN AND HARPER LEE GOES IMMEDIATELY FOR THE COVER!!!!!! ALL HAIL!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But that wasn’t good enough, as Bea Valentine manages to kick out at two before things could take the right turn for Silas World!
Deadprez: Just a little push of struggle there, and it might have gone somewhere—but Bea is refusing to let it happen so easily, no matter what Harper Lee throws at her. Lee thinks she’s got the tools to put Valentine down, but it won’t be that simple!
Eve: Lee scrambles to her feet right after, while Joso on the outside drags himself along the apron. He plants one hand on the edge and uses his free leg to kick Donovan Duke away as he’s catching him in the head and forcing him back! Duke stumbles toward the barricade after that strike!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke may have retreated, but now he’s regaining his senses and getting his hands on Joso, who’s trying to climb back into the ring from the apron as he comes close to aim for Joso’s leg!
Deadprez: But Joso fires back with another kick, rattling Duke’s head yet again and sending him staggering away! Joso looks to capitalize, using the edge of the apron as a launchpad with one foot… DIVING TORNADO DDT OFF THE APRON THAT SPIKES DONOVAN DUKE INTO THE GROUND!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Back inside the ring, Harper Lee charges in, closing the distance on Bea Valentine for the Shotgun Dropkick!
Eve: Valentine side steps that one and heads to the ropes! That causes the National Elite Champion to crash hard on her back against the canvas after missing the dropkick! Lee clutches her back, trying to get up off the mat, and the Eternal Empress takes advantage immediately!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Valentine rushes in… CODE RED CONNECTS!!!!!! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!!! HARPER LEE GETS PLANTED INTO THE MAT, AND BEA VALENTINE HOOKS HER FOR THE COVER!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Still wasn’t enough to finish it for Bea Valentine, as Harper Lee kicks out! But Harper has been laid out flat on the mat after taking that full force Code Red!
Eve: Silas Mason was worried for a second that this could have spelled the end for her, but he still has faith that Harper Lee won’t go down so easily after everything she’s shown in front of us tonight.
Deadprez: Joso can be seen slowly getting up on the outside, clutching his leg after the punishment he’s endured. Meanwhile, Lee is still holding her head, feeling dazed from the crushing impact of the Code Red. Valentine begins crawling, reaching out desperately toward her partner, while Joso is reaching out from his corner as well!… AND MAKES THE TAG WITH JOSO!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: Joso quickly heads through the ropes to enter the ring, while Harper Lee is only in the process of trying to recover and get back to her feet. Joso immediately drapes her arm over his shoulder and goes for the lift!!…. BRAINBUSTER PLANTS HARPER LEE!!!!!! JOSO HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Once again, it wasn’t enough to finish it as Harper Lee kicks out of the Brainbuster just in time before things could have taken another wrong turn for Silas World!
Eve: Joso had to make an impact right off the bat as soon as he got his hands on Harper Lee, who had just failed to capitalize with her striking move on Bea Valentine and that gave Joso the advantage in the situation.
Deadprez: Donovan Duke is slowly trying to reach the apron again, but Joso charges forward and quickly boots Donovan off the apron with a running boot that shoves him away. Joso now turns his focus back to stand tall against Harper Lee, taking careful aim as she struggles to get back on her feet!… AND JOSO RUNS DOWN FOR THE CURB STOMP ON LEE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: That was close as Harper Lee moves her head just in time, and Joso stomps the mat instead of her skull! His foot drives into the canvas, and Lee is right behind him… AND SHE FIRES OFF THE DRAGON FIST TO SHUT JOSO DOWN!!!!!!!!
Eve: Joso avoids that one as well! Harper Lee was close to catching him, but Joso slips around her and goes for the German Suplex! Lee fights out right away, firing back with a sharp elbow to Joso’s eye that blinds him for the moment!
Deadprez: And the advantage shifts once again, Harper Lee locks onto Joso, springing off the second rope for the Springboard Moonsault-
Eve: SUPERKICK!!!!!!!!!! The Springboard Moonsault doesn’t land for Harper Lee as Joso catches her mid-air with a perfectly timed Superkick! Lee is stunned badly, dropping to her knees from that crushing blow!
Gavin Kirkland: And Joso makes a quick run…. BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!! HE DRIVES HIS KNEE ACROSS HARPER LEE’S JAW!!!!!!
Deadprez: That knee just crushed her jaw even further, adding to the damage from the Superkick earlier and things aren’t looking good for the National Elite Champion! Joso drops down to secure the cover on top of Harper Lee once again! This could be it!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Lee kicks out yet again, showing signs of resilience as she stays strong in this tag team bout, fighting for the betterment of Silas World to make it out of this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke makes it back up onto the apron, and Joso notices, trying to handle the problem immediately and prevent the tag! But this time Donovan has an answer… ENZIGURI FROM THE APRON SENDS JOSO STUMBLING BACK INTO THE RING, KNOCKED DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Eve: Harper Lee is on her knees now, regaining her senses and trying to crawl. Joso turns his focus toward Harper Lee, making it clear he wants to square up with her and he quickly moves to meet her once again-
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Too late!
Eve: He didn’t get there in time as Harper Lee makes a long leap toward Donovan Duke and reaches out for the tag and the resounding boos echo across the arena as Duke successfully tags in and enters the match!
Gavin Kirkland: Gavin Kirkland: Joso quickly scrambles back to his feet to deal with the problem right in front of him, rushing at Donovan with full momentum, but Donovan ducks under as he spins around Joso’s waist, hooks him up, and… GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!! JOSO CRASHES DOWN ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK AT FULL SPEED!!!!!!
Deadprez: Joso stumbles from the damage inflicted after that German Suplex connected, and Donovan Duke gets right back to his feet! He comes in from the side, targeting Joso’s head to set him up… ROUNDHOUSE KICK SHATTERS JOSO RIGHT IN THE HEAD!!!!!!!
Eve: Donovan putting his agility on full display as soon as he enters the ring, quickly shoving Joso away, and he could be looking to catch something big here!e… SPEAR!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso makes a huge leap over Donovan’s back as Duke goes for the spear but it’s avoided! Donovan quickly reorients himself, turning back around to reengage Joso after the miss, stepping in close and swinging for the Force of Will!
Deadprez: Donovan Duke was looking for the Spinning Back Fist, but no avail, as Joso avoids it… AND A HARD SLAP ACROSS HIS JAW CLOCKS THE TASTE RIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH!!!!!! JOSO NOW STARTS PUTTING SOME STEPS TOGETHER, FIRING OFF A SUPERKICK THAT DROPS DUKE TO ONE KNEE!!!!!
Eve: AND JOSO FOLLOWS IT UP…. SUPERKICK TO THE JAW AGAIN! DONOVAN IS ROCKED, AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY SHOWS HIS CLEVER RING AWARENESS AS HE’S MEASURING HIS MOMENT PERFECTLY, LEAPING INTO THE AIR… STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS ON DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso has his opponent firmly in his grasp here and could be looking for an even bigger ending now that Donovan Duke has been put down! He’s seizing him underneath the leg, lifting him up!… COULD BE LOOKING FOR CRIMSON PEAK!-
Deadprez: DRAGON FIST!!!!!!!!!! HARPER LEE SMASHES A RIGHT HOOK INTO JOSO’S NOSE, SENDING HIM STUMBLING DOWN THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING JUST TO SHOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE SHE INFLICTED WITH THAT SHOT!!!!
Eve: BEA VALENTINE SEES HER PARTNER IN TROUBLE AND DECIDES TO RUSH INTO THE RING TO DO THE SAME, BUT LEE TAKES A STEP BACK, OPENS THE ROPES, AND SENDS BEA VALENTINE CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE AS WELL!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Harper Lee now builds up speed, charging across the ring… SUICIDE DIVE…. INTO A TORNADO DDT!!!!! SHE SPIKES BEA VALENTINE STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND!!!!!
Eve: Donovan Duke remains inside the ring for now, while Joso has been taken out on the floor after that Dragon Fist connected, making it hard for him to get back up.
Deadprez: Referee has no choice but to look at the situation and begin the count!
Referee: ONE!… TWO!… THREE!….
Eve: Joso is slowly trying to beat the count here, but it might not go in his favor if he doesn’t get back inside the ring soon!
Referee: FOUR!…. FIVE!…. SIX!….
Gavin Kirkland: He got to his feet… but STUMBLES!
Referee: SEVEN!… EIGHT!….
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JOSO HAS ALREADY MADE IT TO THE APRON! USING THAT LAST BIT OF STRENGTH TO PUSH HIMSELF OFF THE GROUND, AND NOW HE SLIDES BACK INSIDE THE RING IMMEDIATELY!
Referee: NINE!….
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE QUICKLY GRABS HOLD OF THE REFEREE, TURNING HIM AROUND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO GO FOR THE COUNT! WHAT IS HE THINKING HERE?!-
Eve: OHHHHHH!!!! PANDORA’S BOX TO JOSO!!!!!
Deadprez: DANG IT! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE—THAT’S EXACTLY WHY DONOVAN DID WHAT HE JUST DID! THE REF TURNS BACK AROUND, COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT JOSO GOT KICKED IN THE JAW, WITH NO IDEA HOW HE WENT DOWN AGAIN BUT NOW HE HAS TO MAKE THE COUNT!-
Referee: TEN! RING THE BELL!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS BY COUNTOUT!… DONOVAN DUKE AND HARPER LEE!… SILAS WORLD!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND ABSOLUTELY NO PRISONERS BEING TAKEN BY SILAS WORLD AS SOON AS THE BELL RINGS! NOW ALL THE MEMBERS OF SILAS WORLD ARE GATHERING TOGETHER, UNLOADING PUNISHMENT ON JOSO! PANDORA AND BRIANNA ARE BOTH GANGING UP ON HIM, THRASHING HIM DOWN WITH BRUTAL STRIKES!
Eve: DONOVAN DUKE ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING, WHILE HARPER LEE IS FORCING BEA VALENTINE INSIDE AND BOTH OF THEM ARE LAYING INTO HER WITH FISTS, JOINING THE ASSAULT! EVERYONE IN THIS MATCH HAS SUDDENLY BECOME THE VICTIMS OF SILAS WORLD!
Deadprez: IT’S A FULL ON BEATDOWN IN THE RING RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER AND DONOVAN NOW STOP THE BEATING, WITH HARPER SEIZING CONTROL AND TRAPPING BEA VALENTINE IN THE SURFBOARD POSITION! DONOVAN DUKE CLIMBS OUT TO THE APRON, MEASURING HIS TARGET AND LOOKING STRAIGHT AT HARPER LEE’S SETUP… RUNNING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ONTO BEA VALENTINE’S HEAD TO EXECUTE THE SWEET DREAM!!!!!!
(Crowd continues to boo as Joso is being helplessly beaten on the outside of the ring, while Silas Mason steps inside holding a mic in his hand amid the chaos unfolding all around the ring, he is flanked with all four members of Silas World.)
Silas Mason: We have reached the tipping point of this, and I don’t care if anyone likes it or not, SHOWDOWN IS OUR BRAND! We are the ones that run this place, and it is an insult… a TRUE insult that someone like Joso was named the Captain of the War Games team! That is not the way it works here !
(The crowd boos loudly as Bea Valentine is still out on the mat, Cornelius was attacked as well on the outside as Joso is still on the floor.)
Silas Mason: Get him in here!
(Brianna Hill rolls out of the ring, she picks up Joso and rolls him into the ring. She slides back in as Silas then looks down at Joso.)
Silas Mason: Joso, you don’t deserve to be the Captain of the War Games Team, everyone knows it. But since Kennedy Street wants to start making the decisions around here, I decided to take it among the best interest of Silas World to simply put?
(Brianna picks up his head and makes Joso look right at Silas Mason.)
Silas Mason: YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE THIRD MEMBER OF TEAM WAR GAMES! BECAUSE SILAS WORLD WILL BE REPRESENTED IN THE MAIN EVENT!
(Silas Mason points at Pandora Pasiley who slowly starts to smile. Donovan Duke, Harper Lee and Brianna Hill all agree with the decision, but Joso just starts to laugh some.)
Silas Mason: What is so funny about that, you punk!?
Joso: I already….. already chose my third member of the War Games team you son of a bitch!
(The anger forms on Silas Mason’s face as he looks over at Pandora Paisley and nods.)
Silas Mason: Your choice is IRRELEVENT! And my Hellcat here is going to make sure there is no one else but her and –
(Suddenly “Still D.R.E.” – Ray Mak (piano cover) cutting into “Still D.R.E.” featuring Snoop Dogg. The crowd gets up shocked and surprised as they start to roar. Silas Mason’s eyes widen and looks out to the entrance.)
Deadprez: JOSO RECRUITED IMPACT!?!?! IMPACT IS THE THIRD MEMBER OF TEAM SHOWDOWN WAR GAMES!
Eve: WE ARE ALL SHOCKED INCLUDING SILAS MASONM AND SILAS WORLD! HERE COMES IMPACT AND HE HAS A BARBED WIRED BAT IN HIS HANDS! LISTEN TO THE OVATION!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!? WHY WOULD IMPACT AGREE TO BE A PART OF TEAM WAR GAMES?!
(Impact walks down to the ring as Silas World prepares themselves, he slides in with he bat as Silas quickly dips out of the ring. He swings at Pandora who dodges and clears out, Brianna Hill, Harper Lee and Donovan Duke are the next to get out of the ring as Impact stands tall, looking down at Joso…..)
Deadprez: What is he going to do!?
Eve: He is going to…..
(Impact offers the hand to Joso and helps him up as the crowd erupts in cheers surprisingly.)
Gavin Kirkland: He helps Joso up and now Joso checks on Bea and helps her up as well as the War Games Team stands tall here tonight!
(Silas World is livid, but Silas with a mic still in hand doesn’t buy any of it.)
Silas Mason: I DON’T THINK SO! PANDORA WILL BE THE THIRD MEMBER AND THAT IS FI-
(Suddenly, “Her” by Megan Thee Stallion starts to play throughout the arena. The fans get up and cheer. Kennedy Street walks out with a mic in hand.)
Kennedy Street: CUT MY MUSIC!
(The music stops.)
Kennedy Street: No… Silas. NO. Joso was given the opportunity to choose his partner, and I was told of the Impact selection, and I MADE IT OFFICIAL! So, at Territorial Invasion…. It will be JOSO! BEA VALENTINE! And IMPACT! In…… WAR GAMES!!!!!
(Kennedy drops the mic and walks off as her theme starts to play. The Crowd erupts as Silas Mason screams NO. Pandora looks on and actually smirks, while the rest of Silas World is livid.)
Deadprez: It is official! And Showdown has a hell of a team as they enter War Games! We are at of time! For Eve and Gavin Kirkland, I am Deadprez…. Goodnight everyone!
(The final scene shows Silas World having a stare down with the Showdown Territorial Invasion War Games Team.)
