(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s show. The Showdown Wargames Team is complete and say their piece, with Silas Mason obviously angry that none of Silas World ended in the team. Impact defeats Brianna Hill. Kennedy Street finds competitors for Divide and Conquer with Silas bothering her about getting one of Silas World there. And later, he tries to convince Auburn to join up with Silas World, but she rejects, and so Pandora comes out to attack her, and seriously hurt her. Daryl Kinkade defeats Matthew Kazama, Harper and Donovan beat Matthew after the match, but Daryl saves him and makes the two back away. Jake looks forward to his match with Veena, Joso bumping into him, Caroline and Xander, him still being suspicious about Caroline attacking him but Caroline continues to say she didn’t do it. Donovan has a chance to talk with the Brand Warfare team, most of them are willing to be in the same page with him but Daryl comes out, yet again crossing Donovan and trying to remind him that the two of them are captains, Donovan firing back, and Alana coming out to force the two to be on the same page. Xander Payne and SHOWTIME defeat Vincent Mondrian and #Hashtag. Ms. Extreme and Daniella have another back and forth where Daniella is able to stand tall. And in the main event, Veena Adams defeats Solomon Stane, as after the match, Jake attacks Veena and Harper attacks Solomon, but in an accident, the two being attacked are able to turn the tables as Solomon lays out Harper and Veena lays out Jake, the two of them standing tall.)
(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 PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut. 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.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! We have an incredibly exciting show for you tonight! Because as we head into Territorial Invasion, we have many Interbrand matches to look forward to! We see Showdown’s Vincent Mondrian fight against Voltage’s Daniella Atlas, and we see as well Silas World’s Pandora Paisley in action.
Deadprez: We will also see Daryl Kinkade and Donovan Duke, the co-captains of Brand Warfare fight against SHOWTIME! And in the main event, we see Showdown’s Wargames Team, Bea Valentine and Joso face off against Voltage’s Wargames Team, Drake Armstrong and Kai Rabeaux!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE MORE TIME, LET’S START OFF THE SHOW!
(The camera cuts from the commentary table to the top of the entrance ramp as ‘Another World’ by Gojira starts playing. The reaction from the crowd immediately goes cold as Silas World enters the arena. None of them look to be in a good mood as they immediately head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, please welcome SILAS MASON, BRIANNA HILL, PANDORA PAISLEY, DONOVAN DUKE, AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION HARPER LEE! THEY! ARE! SILAS WORLD!
Deadprez: Well this is certainly a crappy way to start Showdown with this group of nutcases. Dawg, couldn’t this have waited a little longer.
Gavin Kirkland: Why is this such a bad thing? Look at this quartet of talented competitors heading to the ring while being led by the best manager in EAW History!!
Eve: Yeah sure. But Silas Mason has been spending the last few weeks trying to get a member of Silas World in all of the high profile matches at Territorial Invasion. Don’t even get me started about what Pandora did to poor Auburn Ware last week and we will hear more about that hopefully later on tonight.
Deadprez: You don’t have to hear Silas speak right now to know that Silas is pissed after his interaction with Kennedy Street last week. Whether we like it or not, Silas has a microphone and we are going to have to hear Silas World. This ought to be good.
(Silas grabs a microphone from Gina before sprinting up the ring steps and opening the ropes for all of Silas World to enter the ring before following suit. All of Silas World stand in the center of the ring and listen to the crowd jeer as their entrance music fades off. They listen to the crowd for a moment longer before Silas begins to speak.)
Silas Mason: Listening to all of your negativity used to be funny and cute. Now it’s just getting sickening.
(The crowd doesn’t care what Silas says as they boo even louder.)
Silas Mason: Let me ask you all a question…. Do we have your attention now?
(Silas looks pleased as he thinks about last week’s incident with Auburn Ware before he continues to speak.)
Silas Mason: What happened last week was a simple warning. A stark warning to all members of the Showdown roster. So to all the Showdown Elitists in the back right now, you better be close to a monitor or something because I want all of you to listen to what we have to say.
(Silas motions for the camera to come closer as Silas glares down the camera lens.)
Silas Mason: To all members of the Showdown roster… Silas World is NOT here to play any sort of games. If Showdown wants a clean sweep of Territorial Invasion so badly, there should be a Silas World representative in the War Games Match!!
Silas Mason: Pandora would have been the PERFECT Silas World representative in War Games to go along with Donovan Duke leading Team Brand Warfare to victory on his own. But that didn’t happen, did it?
(Silas looks at Silas World, who all look annoyed except for Pandora, who has an emotionless expression on her face.)
Silas Mason: OF COURSE IT DIDN’T! All because Kennedy Street has some sort of issue with Silas World for some reason. Look at it! Kennedy just had to make Daryl Kinkade the co-captain of the Brand Warfare team. Then she just allowed that old ass Impact to take the final War Games spot.
Silas Mason: Now she’s fighting back against me because I suggested Brianna Hill be part of the Divide & Conquer team when she made Auburn Ware the team captain, but I sure as hell made sure that my Hellcat took Auburn out of the picture. It was glorious and it’s just the beginning.
(Silas then hands the microphone to Donovan and the crowd boos even louder because they really don’t wanna hear Donovan speak.)
Donovan Duke: Awww… you don’t wanna hear me talk? Well tough shit because I am never going to be at a loss for words or a loss for talent. You should all be grateful that I have taken it upon myself to lead Showdown to victory in Brand Warfare!
Donovan Duke: When that happens, you all will be forced to recognize the talent that Silas Mason and Silas World has and all we have been doing is what’s best for not just us, but what is best for Showdown.
(Donovan has a smile on his face as he hands the microphone to Harper Lee. They give each other a smile as Harper begins to speak.)
Harper Lee: While the “Debonair One” Donovan Duke is leading Brand Warfare to victory, I will also be facing a “tough” task at Territorial Invasion as I defend the National Elite Championship against Solomon Stane.
Harper Lee: If this crazy man thinks he is going to intimidate me and take the National Elite Championship away from me, then he has another thing coming. I have been working hard to get back in the title picture and I am not leaving it anytime soon. Now this title is being restored of the class and dignity that was lost over the years. When Territorial Invasion is done, I will still be National Elite Champion.
(Harper is feeling confident as she hands the microphone over to Brianna Hill.)
Brianna Hill: Poor Auburn Ware. Last week she ran into an unfortunate case of bad luck as she was injured for some reason. Who knows when she will return. That means that Showdown’s Divide and Conquer team doesn’t have a Captain right now.
Brianna Hill: I think that Kennedy Street has no choice but to let ME be the Captain for Showdown’s Divide and Conquer. Don’t worry, Kennedy. I accept the position and will lead Showdown to be the victorious team before I become the last person standings. It’s no trouble at all.
(Brianna goes to hand the microphone to Pandora, but Pandora is staying silent and she isn’t making any motion to take the microphone, so Brianna hands the microphone back to Silas.)
Silas Mason: You see this? Silas World is as strong as ever and we are going to be stronger than ever. I am here to tell Showdown right here and right now that Silas World will tear anyone and everyone apart until we get exactly what we want. That’s because–
???: THAT’S ENOUGH!
(Silas looks around wondering who in the hell cut him off until General Manager Kennedy comes out on the entrance ramp with a microphone in her hand and a glare on her face.)
(Kennedy stays standing on the entrance ramp and stares down to the ring before she begins to speak.)
Kennedy Street: Silas—
Silas Mason: Ms. Kennedy Street. To what do we owe the pleasure of—
Kennedy Street: First of all, never cut me off again. Is that understood? Second of all, shut the hell up. I gave you long enough to talk and now it’s my turn.
(Silas stops talking, but he does not look happy after how Kennedy treated him.)
Kennedy Street: Silas, I want you and the rest of Silas World to listen to me and listen to me VERY closely because what I am about to say will be the first time, the last time, and the only time I will say this so listen carefully.
(All of Silas World turns and looks up the entrance ramp and waits to hear what Kennedy has to say.)
Kennedy Street: I am sick and tired of you or any member of Silas World sticking their noses in my business decisions and what I feel is best for Showdown! So from now until Territorial Invasion, Silas Mason and the rest of Silas World better stay the hell away from War Games and stay the hell away from any member of any of the Showdown or else!
Silas Mason: Or else what?
Kennedy Street: Or else I will suspend you or any member of Silas World who does not heed my warning… and it will all start with Pandora for that stunt that she pulled last week. Try me, Silas!!
(Kennedy has a smirk on her face as she walks backstage as Silas is about to explode in anger.)
Eve: There we go!! Kennedy Street putting down an ultimatum to Silas World. Interfere with War Games or any other Showdown Team and they will be suspended. It’s about time that Silas World got put in their place.
Gavin Kirkland: I think that was a little harsh. All they were doing was trying to do what’s best for Showdown.
Deadprez: You mean what’s best for them first and Showdown second. They are selfish and threatening to ruin anything and everything. This ought to stop them for now. Hopefully. Either way, after the break we will have our opening contest of Saturday Night Showdown!
(The final shot shows Silas Mason fuming and the rest of Silas World trying to calm him down as the camera cuts to commercial break.)
(The camera pans to ringside and Gina Romano is ready to introduce the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Vortex’ by Jinjer begins to play as the crowd begins to boo. Daniella Atlas arrives on the stage with a bit of a smirk on her face. She marches down towards the ring, and eventually the look becomes one of disdain, as she appears to be ready for her upcoming match. She looks incredibly focused as she walks down the ramp.)
Gina Ramano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM DUNKIRK, FRANCE…WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS…SHE IS “THE BLACK FLAME”…DDAAAAIIINNIEELLLLAAA ATTLLLAAASS!
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim hits the PA system as Vincent Madonna makes his way to the ring, clearly not in the mood to entertain. Vincent keeps his head high with his eyes locked on Daniella, stepping into the ring with a singular purpose in his mind to win.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… FROM LAREN, NETHERLANDS!… WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS!… THE SOUL REAPER!…. VINCENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!… MONDRIANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
DING! DING! DING!
Deadprez: And the match is underway, Daniella from Voltage coming here to put on a show. Looking to maybe send a message to the Universal Women’s Champion we have at ringside.
Ms. Extreme: She can send as many as she wants, I won’t be listening that for sure.
Eve: Mondrian suddenly explodes forward with a running forearm smash, rocking Daniella back into the ropes! He peppers her with overhand slaps to the chest, each one cracking loudly! Daniella absorbs, leans into it, and fires back with knife-edge chops, matching him strike for strike! Both competitors lit each other up right from the start! This is a dangerous game for Daniella, trading blows with someone as hard-hitting as Mondrian!
Ms. Extreme: Dangerous and dumb. Which is exactly what I expect from her.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella cuts Mondrian off with a spinning back elbow that floors him to a knee! She grabs his arm and stomps viciously on it, pinning it down with her boot before wrenching it back and slamming it into the mat! She drops a quick knee lift to his jaw, forcing him back!
Deadprez: Daniella showing aggression here, trying to wear Mondrian down piece by piece! She runs the ropes and drills him with a ripcord dropkick! Mondrian crashes back, rolling to his knees— only to catch Daniella with a sudden belly-to-back backbreaker! Daniella arches in pain, clutching her spine as Mondrian drives an elbow across her chest and goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO—
Eve: Daniella kicks out at two!
Ms. Extreme: Oh wow, she kicked out. Guess I should just hand her my belt now.
Gavin Kirkland: Mondrian drags Daniella up, gripping her wrist and trying for a half and half suplex. Daniella elbows him hard across the temple to block, spins out, and plants him with a float-over DDT! She floats into a cover.
ONE!
TWO—
Deadprez: Kickout from Mondrian! Daniella is flowing right now, and if I may say—
Ms. Extreme: Don’t.
Eve: Daniella drags Vincent to the corner, boots him down, and presses her foot against his throat! The referee counts, Daniella breaking at four! She quickly climbs up top and leaps off, swinging down into a corner dropkick! Daniella’s striking combinations and explosiveness are shining through! This is what makes her a viable contender!
Ms. Extreme: Explosiveness? She looks like a kid let loose in a bouncy castle. Nothing refined. Nothing scary.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella tries to keep momentum, pulling Vincent up into a Falcon Arrow! She spikes him into the mat with authority! She hooks the leg.
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: But Mondrian kicks out again! Vincent rolls away, dragging himself toward the ropes. Daniella charges for a baseball slide dropkick, but Vincent sidesteps— catching her legs and yanking her hard into the apron, ribs-first! Mondrian hoists her up and powerbombs her onto the apron, the impact brutal!
Eve: Oh no! Daniella’s spine folding on the edge of the ring! That could be a game-changer!
Ms. Extreme: Yep. There it is. That’s the reality check she needed.
Gavin Kirkland: Vincent slides Daniella back inside, methodical now. He stomps across her back, then lifts her into a fireman’s carry backbreaker, dropping her across his knees and holding the position as he wrenches her neck! Daniella screams, reaching for ropes!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!
FOUR—
Deadprez: Vincent breaks the hold, dragging her instead into the middle of the ring! He sits back into a Boston Crab, cinching it in deep! Daniella claws at the canvas, gritting her teeth as the crowd rallies behind her! Vincent Mondrian trying to break Daniella in half right now with that Boston Crab!
Eve: But look at Daniella, pushing up on her arms, fighting through the pain—
Ms. Extreme: Fighting? She looks like she’s begging. If that was me, she’d be tapping already.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella, screaming, pushes up and twists her hips, managing to roll Mondrian off! Both stagger up to their feet— Daniella bicycle kicks Vincent straight in the face! He stumbles! She follows with a superkick to the chest and then plants him with a Northern Lights suplex, bridging for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: Mondrian powers out at two and a half! The fight continues! Both competitors are digging deep now! The pace slows as both Daniella and Vincent crawl to opposite sides of the ring!
Eve: Daniella and Mondrian both push themselves up, exhaustion written across their faces! They slowly approach the center of the ring— Daniella strikes first with a forearm smash! Mondrian eats it, and fires back with a discus forearm! Both competitors are slugging it out in the center of the ring! Neither one backing down an inch! This is about pride, about proving themselves!
Ms. Extreme: No. This is about Daniella proving she doesn’t belong in the ring with me. Mondrian’s just saving me the trouble.
Gavin Kirkland: They trade again! Daniella with a spinning heel kick, Mondrian staggering back but countering with a running Yakuza kick that nearly takes her head off! Daniella collapses to a knee, clutching her face!
Deadprez: Oh my GOD! The force behind that kick! Vincent presses the advantage, scooping Daniella up for a pumphandle backbreaker! He immediately follows with a vertical suplex, holding her in the air before crashing her down, then floats into a cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
Eve: Daniella gets the shoulder up!
Ms. Extreme: Stupid. Stay down, save yourself the embarrassment.
Deadprez: Mondrian drags Daniella by the hair, tossing her toward the corner! He rushes for a running European uppercut— but Daniella lifts a boot! He eats it to the jaw! Daniella explodes out of the corner with a high kick that catches him flush, then hooks his head— draping DDT from the second rope!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH—
Gavin Kirkland: So close! Mondrian just gets the shoulder up! Daniella is showing incredible resilience and composure here!
Ms. Extreme: Resilience? This is desperation, not dominance.
Eve: Daniella drags herself up to the top rope, signaling for something big! She dives for a diving senton— Mondrian rolls out at the last second! Daniella crashes spine-first into the canvas! A huge crash-and-burn moment for Daniella Atlas!
Ms. Extreme: Yep. She always was good at falling flat.
Deadprez: Vincent wastes no time, yanking Daniella back up and hitting a German suplex! He keeps the waistlock, drags her up again— bridging German suplex!
ONE!
TWO!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kickout at two and three-quarters! Mondrian slaps the mat in frustration, then pulls Daniella up for a powerbomb! He drives her down hard, folding her up!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE—
Eve: Daniella kicks out again! Barely! Mondrian wipes his mouth, pacing now, clearly growing impatient! Mondrian throws everything at her, but Daniella just refuses to stay down!
Ms. Extreme: Stubborn doesn’t equal smart. She’s going to regret this.
Deadprez: Daniella uses the ropes to climb up, dazed. Mondrian charges for another Yakuza kick— but Daniella ducks! TURNING AROUND INTO A HEADBUTT! SHE GOT ALL OF IT!! ATLAS GOES DOWN AS WELL!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella Atlas just turned this match around again! Both are down, the referee beginning the ten count! Mondrian stirs, Daniella crawls toward the ropes, and the atmosphere is fever-pitch as they both start getting to their feet at the same time!
Eve: You can tell we’re settling into the deeper waters now. Both competitors have eaten a lot already, and this is where the attrition kicks in. Neither competitor can afford to rush here. This is as much about conserving stamina as it is about dishing out damage.
Ms. Extreme: Conserving stamina? Daniella looks like she’s already on fumes. But hey, if she wants to limp into Territorial Invasion broken, I won’t stop her.
Deadlrez: Mondrian and Daniella lock eyes as they stand, inching closer! Daniella throws the first shot, a heavy forearm strike that echoes! Mondrian absorbs it, shaking his head, before answering with a stiff open-handed slap that spins her head to the side!
Eve: That’s the danger Mondrian brings! His strikes aren’t flashy, they’re punishing! Daniella steadies herself and fires back with another forearm! Mondrian answers with a headbutt of his own! Daniella staggers but grabs the ropes and rebounds with a spinning back elbow! Mondrian takes a knee but he shakes it off!
Deadprez: There’s a methodical pace to this! Neither one wants to make the mistake that opens the floodgates!
Ms. Extreme: Wow, so brave. Hitting each other and standing around. Real championship-caliber stuff, huh?
Gavin Kirkland: Mondrian suddenly shoots low, scooping Daniella up with a fireman’s carry backbreaker! Daniella writhes, clutching her spine! Mondrian doesn’t rush the pin— he kneels beside her, grinding his forearm across her face!
ONE!
TWO—
Eve: Daniella powers out, rolling away! Mondrian follows, stomping across her midsection and dragging her upright! He lifts her for a fisherman suplex, bridges into a pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEE—
Deadprez: Another near fall, but Mondrian isn’t putting his foot fully on the gas. He’s testing her. Testing, wearing her down classic Vincent Mondrian!
Ms. Extreme: Or maybe he’s just bored. Honestly, I’d be too if I had to face Daniella every week until Territorial Invasion.
Gavin Kirkland: Mondrian presses his knee to Daniella’s back, locking in a scissors lock around her ribs while wrenching her arm back! Daniella refuses to cry out as the pressure mounts! The referee checks, but she shakes her head! Mondrian wrenches harder, smirking about it!
Eve: That’s a painful hold, compressing the lungs and stretching the arm! This slows Daniella down, limits her striking base if he keeps that arm compromised!
Ms. Extreme: Aww, poor Daniella. Can’t breathe, can’t fight, can’t win. What a shame.
Deadprez: Daniella forces herself to her knees, prying Mondrian’s legs apart and rolling to free herself! Mondrian swings with a running forearm smash— but Daniella ducks under! She hits the ropes and comes back with a sharp bicycle kick! Mondrian drops, Daniella collapses beside him, still clutching her back! Daniella shows fight here, refusing to let Mondrian suffocate her pace!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s gutsy, but you can see the toll this is taking on her body. She’s got to find a way to create sustained momentum.
Ms. Extreme: Sustained momentum? More like sustained survival. That’s the best she can hope for.
Eve: Daniella uses the ropes to pull herself up first! She drags Mondrian by the arm, setting him up and hitting a Northern Lights suplex! She bridges!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: But only gets two before he powers out! Daniella sits up, shaking her head as if telling herself to keep going! She slowly pulls him up again, trying for a Falcon Arrow— but Mondrian knees her ribs and blocks it! He counters with a sharp kasigiri chop that doubles her over— then a belly-to-back backbreaker, folding her across his knee once again!
Gavin Kirkland: Mondrian’s game plan is simple but effective, attack the back, attack the core, and keep Daniella grounded! He’s executing it with precision.
Ms. Extreme: Yeah sure, precision. Something Daniella’s never heard of. She just throws herself around and hopes it sticks.
Eve: Mondrian drags her up again! This time holding her in a vertical suplex position— before dumping her to the mat! He doesn’t cover it seems, leaning against the ropes, catching his breath as he watches Daniella writhe on the mat! The pace slows again, both competitors clearly settling in for a long, grueling fight!
Deadprez: This is the part of the match where you see what both are really made of. The early flurries are over now it’s about grinding through pain.
Gavin Kirkland: And so far, Daniella hasn’t broken. That says a lot about her heading into Territorial Invasion.
Ms. Extreme: You’re adorable, Gavin. She’s broken already. Just not enough to admit it.
Eve: Daniella clutches her back in the corner, and Mondrian wipes his jaw! The pace quickens again as Mondrian charges in with a running shotgun dropkick, blasting Daniella into the turnbuckles! He hauls her up, dragging her toward the center.
Deadprez: Vincent Mondrian smelling blood in the water now! Daniella’s taken a beating to her spine, but she’s not giving in yet—
Ms. Extreme: (cutting in) She should give in. This is just embarrassing.
Gavin Kirkland: Mondrian scoops her onto his shoulders, setting her up for “The Telltale Heart”— that devastating Death Valley Driver! Daniella thrashes! desperate— raking across his face with a wild swipe! Her fingers jab his eyes, and Mondrian stumbles, blinded!
Deadprez: OH! Desperate move from Daniella Atlas, right to the eyes!
Eve: She knew she was seconds away from defeat, and she fought out by any means necessary!
Ms. Extreme: Real champion material right there.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella drops down, clutching her ribs, but then surges with a burst of adrenaline! She hooks Mondrian from the side, wrenching him up into position— PUMPHANDLE LIFT! She hoists and DRIVES him down with SOUTH OF HEAVEN!
Deadprez: SOUTHHH OF HEAVEN! SHE NAILED IT! Daniella holding him down tight as the referee slides in for the count!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
( The bell rings as Daniella rolls off, collapsing to her side, exhausted but victorious. The crowd cheers loudly while Ms. Extreme sits back with a sour look. )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…DANIELLA ATLAS!
Deadprez: And that’s it! Daniella Atlas pulls through against Vincent Mondrian in an absolute war!
Eve: This is a huge confidence builder going into Territorial Invasion. She showed resilience, smarts, and that championship-level instinct—
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, where is Camille going?
( Daniella began to get back to her feet, a smile on her face as she managed to gain more momentum going into her Championship match. She turns around— )
Deadprez: SHE IS IN THE RING! KICKING DANIELLA IN THE MIDSECTION! HOOKING THE HEAD FOR THE TWIST OF FATE! LAYING OUT DANIELLA ATLAS!
Eve: A clear message being sent to her challenger, despite the effort and win from Daniella there is always a bigger fish. Atlas is looking up at her!
( Camille grabs her Championship and stands on Daniella’s chest, raising it in the air as the scene slowly began to fade to black. )
(The camera cuts backstage slowly to the office of the esteemed Showdown General Manager. Smooth jazz music can be heard playing as the camera pans inside to show Alana Starr herself smiling at a gathering of talent that she has assembled before her.)
Alana Starr: Welcome welcome! I am glad that each and every one of you have come here tonight! Tonight is a very important night!
(The camera pans around the room showing Vincent Mondrian, Matthew Kazama, and #Hashtag standing in the office with bored and deadpan expressions clearly hoping to get this office meeting over and done with so they can leave and go about their day.)
Alana Starr: Wow don’t look too excited! But let’s get right to it then! I want to explain to all of you just how important and special it is for you to be a part of Divide & Conquer this year. Your parents may have told you that you were special growing up but I am simply here to reaffirm it! In fact I have a lot riding on all of you which is why I am here to motivate you and get you all to compete at your highest potential! Who is with me!!!
Vincent Mondrian: …
Matthew Kazama: …
#Hashtag: …
Alana Starr: I can just feel your enthusiasm emanating from every wall in this room! Fun times! Exciting times! We are gathered here now in the General Manager’s office which can only mean one thing! Big things are about to happen! And I just want to state once more just how importante it is for you all to win the Divide & Conquer match for Showdown. I think we can all agree that would be the best outcome. It is our great shame that we did not win last year and take a clean sweep. In fact it really pisses me off and I feel like getting quite violent the more that I think about it…
(Alana Starr clenches her fists in rage filled with patriotism for her brand and a desire to crush all others who would dare oppose her and the glory of Showdown.)
Alana Starr: Now I think that first of-
Vincent Mondrian: You know what Alana? I am completely with you. At least when it comes to winning this match. I don’t know about the other losers gathered here… but Vincent Mondrian is a winner. I am the Soul Reaper and that does not just mean I am coming for the souls of everyone here on Showdown. But I am collecting on those of the other brands as well. I am the most underrated technical wrestler in the entire world today and everyone is going to find out very soon that in that ring you simply cannot match me. It is sad that people have been overlooking me for this long but that will be happening no longer when I single handedly carry this whole team to victory at Divide & Conquer.
Alana Starr: Great enthusiasm! But maybe you could get along with your teammates a little better?
Matthew Kazama: Yeah good luck with that Alana. These people I am surrounded with only care about themselves. I am pretty sure #Hashtag doesn’t even care about wrestling these days. They only care about their view count and subscriber numbers. I don’t get why we allow these poser ass fake wrestling grifters come into this business that I love in the first place. Sick of this shit. I am here in EAW to carry on the legacy of my entire family and by winning the Divide & Conquer Match at Territorial Invasion I will do just that. I am tired of constantly having some of the best performances on this show week in and week out but somehow my opponent finds some bullshit way to win. I know that I can beat anyone and everyone and it is time that all of this crap comes to an end and Matthew Kazama begins his rightful rise to the top of EAW!
(#Hashtag are shown holding their phones up to Matthew Kazama as he continues to rant.)
Clayton Golde: LOL!
Bridget Bridget: LMAO EVEN!
(They turn their phones around and begin to stream themselves instead.)
Clayton Golde: That was a very pathetic crashout! But holy shit our chat is going wild!
Bridget Bridget: They sure are. Keep having these egotistical meltdowns. It is great content. We need to try this with the women’s roster too. Karen videos are always gold…
Matthew Kazama: :francis:
Alana Starr: Well, we all know that Auburn Ware was supposed to be a part of this thing as the team captain. Unfortunately, she is hurt and will not be able to make it to Territorial Invasion. Which really throws a big wrench into everything.
Vincent Mondrian: Do not worry Alana. For I shall be your team captain instead!
Bridget Bridget: Really? You? Don’t make me laugh…
Clayton Golde: This is honestly too good to be true. Keep saying dumb shit for our stream Vincent.
Matthew Kazama: I really don’t care who the captain is or if we even have one. I’m going in there to do what I have to do to win, and nobody is going to tell me what to do!
(Suddenly Silas Mason barges in and turns off the smooth jazz music as the crowd boos loudly. Alana Starr looks annoyed before turning the music back on and turning back to the others.)
Alana Starr: So where were we…
Silas Mason: Hey…
Alana Starr: Oh Silas… Did you need something?
Silas Mason: You know Alana… You could really show me a bit more respect. But I will overlook that for now because I have a team captain for you here and now.
(Suddenly Brianna Hill walks into the ring.)
Silas Mason: Say hello to your new team captain!
(Everyone looks shocked and appalled as well as disgusted by this. #Hashtag continues to stream Brianna Hill causing their followers to rage.)
Alana Starr: What? No! Absolutely not! Are you fuck-
(However, Silas Mason and Brianna Hill are already leaving before Alana Starr can say anything to rebuke Silas’ declaration.)
Vincent Mondrian: …
Matthew Kazama: Brianna Hill? Really?
Clayton Golde: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!
Bridget Bridget: IT’S NOT FAIR!!!
(Clayton and Bridget hug each other crying in distress as the others awkwardly leave and the camera fades to a commercial.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Territorial Invasion. We are invading your territory. Get ready…)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano at ringside ready to introduce the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT!
(The local crowd cheers loudly.)
Gina Romano: WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS! SHE IS JUNO STRONG!!!!!
(The young sandy blonde haired woman that is physically fit flexes her muscles as the crowd continues to cheer but it is cut off with “Just Stop” by Disturbed as the crowd gives a mixed reaction but mostly boos.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT! FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT 125 POUNDS! A MEMBER OF SILAS WORLD AND ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY SILAS MASON…. “THE HELLCAT” PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!
(Silas Mason slowly walks out and points as Pandora Paisley comes out dressed in pink and black. Her hair hanging down and matching sunglasses, she lowers them for a minute looking at the crowd before then making her way to the ring with a smiling Silas Mason.)
Deadprez: Here comes Pandora Paisley and this is the first time she has been in action since Midsummer Massacre. One thing is certain, after what she did to Auburn Ware last week, Silas Mason finally got to her.
Eve: I am going to agree, but also disagree. I saw hesitation from her; it was almost like she didn’t want to do all that to Auburn but was forced to.
Gavin Kirkland: Whether she was forced to or not, she put out Auburn Ware and is all in with Silas World. She will learn to love it, trust me!
(Pandora gets to the ring, Silas hops on the apron and opens the ropes for her as Pandora steps in. She looks to the crowd and extends her arms as Silas takes off her jacket, she then hands him the sunglasses and squats in the corner stretching her legs ready for the match. The referee checks both competitors and calls for the bell.)
(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
Deadprez: Here we go, and what we know about Juno Strong, she is a collegiate All-American in volleyball, she is tall, strong and imposing, but as we can see Pandora is not even fazed. They circle the ring, and they lock up, Pandora quickly puts her in a side headlock, but Juno throws her off into the ropes, shoulder block! Pandora stumbles back a little!
Eve: Juno comes after her and Pandora ducks under the clothesline, Juno turns around and CAT’S PAW! The superkick hit Juno flush in the face and she bounces off the ropes and LOVE TAP! What a vicious running knee and Juno is down!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora wedges her foot on Juno’s neck and starts pressing down! She is choking Juno! The referee starts the count!
Referee: 1! ….. 2!….. 3!…..4!……
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora breaks the hold! Silas Mason claps on the outside! Pandora picks up Juno by the hair and whips her into the corner! She charges in with a huge clothesline and turns it into a bulldog!
(The crowd boos as Pandora looks out into the crowd, she doesn’t say anything, and instead she starts choking Juno as the referee again counts.)
Referee: 1! ….. 2!….. 3!…..4!……
(Pandora breaks the choke again. She just picks up Juno and slowly gets her up on her feet before hoisting her up and slamming her on the mat.)
Eve: Pandora is just picking this young woman apart and now she climbs up to the top rope. She stays perched up there for a moment and launches off! THE PRICE TAG!!! THAT HEATSEEKER HIT THE MONEY ON JUNO’S CHEST AND THAT WAS ON POINT! Pandora could go for the cover, but she is not and instead she waits for Juno to slowly get up!
Deadprez: What we are witnessing is a woman just taking another apart and she is almost playing with her food! Juno is up to her feet and Pandora runs at her…. PANDORUM! She knocked out Juno cold! Pandora goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE –
Deadprez: PANDORA PULLS HER UP!
(Silas Mason starts to laugh. He signals her for one more. She drags Juno up to her feet as she is out cold, she locks her head…. )
Gavin Kirkland: CATastrophe!!!! JUNO IS FACE DOWN ON THE MAT MOTIONLESS AND PANDORA ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE NEAR LEG AS SHE LOOKS OUT INTO THE CROWD IN DISDAIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
(“Just Stop” starts to play throughout the arena as Pandora throws down the leg of the unconscious Juno Strong and sits there for a moment, her catlike green eyes staring at her downed opponent with a smiling Silas Mason happy, getting in the ring.)
Deadprez: That was scary domination, and I don’t think we have ever seen Pandora that aggressive in her time with the EAW. She was the most vicious I have ever seen her, a true Hellcat.
Eve: She could have beaten Juno Strong earlier in the match but chose to torture her, that was it. This match could have ended quickly but Pandora chose to put that young woman through pain. She was sending a message to Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: As well she should. Kennedy made sure that she is not a part of Territorial Invasion, so I have a feeling Pandora is going to make sure about making some noise at that event!
(Pandora stares at the fallen Juno, she then lifts her by the hair and drags her to the apron’s edge, slowly rolling out and running out her.)
Deadprez: THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY! SE JUST VICIOUSLY DID A RUNNING HIGH KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THIS WOMAN WAS ALREADY UNCONSCIOUS AND SHE FALLS TO THE FLOOR! OFFICIALS START TO RUN OUT AS PANDORA JUST GLARES AT HER WITH DISDAIN!
(Pandora is then pulled away by Silas Mason before she can do any more damage, but instead she rolls back in the ring with a mic in hand, Silas looks a bit surprised but follows her in.)
Pandora Paisley: CUT THE BLOODY MUSIC!
(The theme stops.)
Pandora Paisley: I SHOULD BE IN WAR GAMES!
(The crowd starts to boo.)
Pandora Paisley: AND INSTEAD, I AM SITTING ON THE FUCKING SIDELINE IN ONE FO THE MOST IMPORTANT MARQUEE EVENTS OF THE BLOODY YEAR! I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU KENNEDY STREET! I NUSTE ME ARSE TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES! I WENT TO WAR WITH MS. EXTREME AND TOOK A FUCKING SCAR TO THE ABDOMEN FOR YOU! I JOINED A GROUP THAT WAS AN EMBARRASSMENT IN DEVOLUTION FOR YOU! AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!?
(Silas eyes widen, as a huge smile comes across his face.)
Pandora Paisley: I had no issues with Auburn Ware, matter of fact, I love her tenacity and spirit, the lass has something, but YOU did this to her, YOU did Kennedy! And what I did tonight to this local talent in front of her hometown, in front of her mum and dad in the front row is NOTHING compared to what I do moving forward until I get what I want!
(She pauses for a moment, before her green eyes look right into the camera.)
Pandora Paisley: The Answers World Championship.
(She throws the mic down as Silas looks extremely please. “Just Stop” starts to play as she slowly walks out of the ring and past the officials checking on Juno Strong. Silas Mason is all proud of his acquisition as he follows her to the back.)
Deadprez: Oh man… shots fired.
Eve: It is all coming together now. Silas Mason and Regan Street are behind poisoning that young woman’s mind.
Gavin Kirkland: No… she finally woke up! The Hellcat is here !
(The theme continues to play as Pandora walks to the back with Silas Mason as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(As it comes back from commercial break we see Kyra Phillips with a microphone in hand as she looks into the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome at this time, assistant General Manager, Alana Starr!
(Alana Starr comes up in front of the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Thank you for taking the time, I know you wanted to have this moment to give us an update for Auburn Ware and what happened last week.
Alana Starr: Well, we just saw Pandora wrestle and honestly I wanted to suspend her for what she did to Auburn Ware because that was unnecessary. But Silas Mason is a very smart man when he made a new contract for her and the fine print wouldn’t allow us to, but she was definitely fined for it. With that said, I do want to talk about Auburn.
(Alana Starr pauses for a moment, before she turns back to Kyra Phillips again.)
Alana Starr: After the vicious attack last week, Auburn Ware was supposed to be a huge part of Territorial Invasion as we were going to make her the Showdown Divide & Conquer team captain, but Silas was incensed on not only wanting Pandora and Brianna as part of the Marquee Event, but also wanted to purposely take her out for no reason at all other than jealousy.
(She pauses again for a second.)
Alana Starr: With all of that said, unfortunately Auburn suffered a neck injury and a concussion, so she will not be available to compete at Territorial Invasion. That really sucks for her because she was really looking forward to that opportunity, but if one thing is certain is that we may not be able to suspend Pandora, but we can keep her from competing at the huge Marquee Live Event too. She will not be competing there either as punishment. Also –
(Suddenly Silas Mason with Pandora stepped in as they were coming back from the ring.)
Silas Mason: We knew this was coming, Alana, and it was a huge mistake. To be perfectly honest, that is why Auburn paid for your decisions. Kennedy and you Alana are the reason that poor girl is going to miss Territorial Invasion. You had a choice, and made the wrong one.
Alana Starr: YOU made that choice for Pandora, Silas! And now Pandora pays the price for it! And –
(But Pandora pushes Silas to the side and stands right in the face of Alana Starr.)
Pandora Paisley: I should have been on Team War Games! I earned it, Alana! But you and Kennedy want to make an example out of me!? Fine! Then I will make an example out of everyone that gets in me bloody way, love!
Alana Starr: What happened to you!? I know how this man works, Pandora! He loves to influence! To instigate! To manipulate!
(Pandora just chuckles.)
Pandora Paisley: Manipulation!? No, what Regan and Silas told me was the truth! I busted me arse for Kennedy! I was her bloody punching bag to protect her from so many others that disagreed! But you want to punish me!? You want to –
(But before she could finish, Kennedy Street shows up.)
Kennedy Street: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, HONEY!? Kennie brought you back after your injury! Gave you a home to stay in while your mom and Nathan were still in England!? Kennie helped you buy that house in Santa Monica! Made sure the EAW didn’t forget you!
Pandora Paisley: AT A PRICE! I SUFFERED FOR IT! I had to go and make me own stable with the British Invasion! ME! But you wanted to have it all Kennedy!
Kennedy Street: YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON US!
Pandora Paisley: NO! YOU BETRAYED ME! And now you want to stunt me career, love? No. See, I’m going to be at Territorial Invasion by hook or crook. And until then, I will beat the arses of anyone that I feel like it! And then finally, I don’t care who has the title…. But I WILL BE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! And there is nothing you can do to stop me.
(Pandora brushes past Kennedy as she just stands there with Alana. Silas walks up to Kennedy and smiles.)
Silas Mason: Now THAT is The Hellcat I always knew was in her.
Kennedy Street: Go to hell, Silas.
Silas Mason: Oh, my sweet, beautiful Kennedy. You and Alana have no idea what hell is, but you will.
(Silas walks off leaving Kennedy and Alana standing there looking at them as they walk away. The scene fades to a commercial break.)
(The camera returns from commercial break and the ringside area is silent for a moment before the arena is filled with the sounds of “Enemy” by From Ashes to New playing throughout the arena. Seconds later, the music is combined with loud boos from the crowd as Donovan Duke enters the arena. But he is not coming alone as behind Donovan are the remaining members of the Brand Warfare team: Xander Payne, Akari Kiyoko, Damien Kutcher, and reluctantly, Daryl Kinakde. Donovan turns around to the team and motions for them to head to the ring… and they oblige whether they like it or not.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! At this time, please welcome DONOVAN DUKE, DARYL KINKADE, DAMIEN KUTCHER AND AKARI KIYOKO… SHOWTIME! AND XANDER PAYNE! TEAM BRAND WARFARE!
Deadprez: Dawg, just as we thought things were going to get better, the crazy train has just pulled in as Donovan Duke is leading the Brand Warfare team to the ring. I wonder if the threat Alana Starr gave Donovan and Daryl last week is still going strong in their heads?
Gavin Kirkland: You mean when Alana said they had to learn to work together as a team or else? I think that was a little extreme don’t you think?
Eve: I don’t think it was harsh enough. You heard these two talking about each other throughout the week. Donovan and Daryl hate each other and I don’t think that these two have a prayer’s chance of being on the same page even for a second. This is going to be a clusterfuck of a match for Showdown.
Deadprez: Well to be truthful, nobody on this team is going to win any popularity contests around here, but these five have two weeks to learn to get along or else this is going to be a disaster as Eve said. Anyways, let’s hear what these five have to say, dawg.
(The team members each grab a microphone before entering the ring. The crowd is still booing, mainly because of Donovan, until his music fades off. He looks around at the arena as well as the team before he starts to speak.)
Donovan Duke: Ladies and gentlemen! What you see before you in this ring is an expertly selected group of competitors who are going to dominate Brand Warfare at Territorial Invasion. You are looking at the five successful competitors who will bring Showdown victory.
(Donovan stops talking and looks at Daryl before continuing.)
Donovan Duke: Well four out of five ain’t bad.
(Daryl goes to beat the hell out of Donovan, but he is held back by Showtime. Donovan rolls his eyes as he continues to speak.)
Donovan Duke: As you can see, we are going to be the personification of chemistry and team cohesion at Territorial Invasion. We are going to be what Dynasty and Voltage wish they could be as a team. I look at true TALENT! I don’t try to get a bunch of damn former World Champions and base my team on star power. I look at competitors who are willing to fight. I look at competitors who will be willing to play a little dirty to get ahead in a match like this.
(Donovan smiles and waves back towards the rest of the Brand Warfare team.)
Donovan Duke: This is what true talent is all about. Yeah, people are going to try and bring up the fact that none of us like each other. Shit, some of us flat out hate each other, but we are all willing to put aside whatever personal differences we have and be the true professionals that we are and have one goal in mind… VICTORY!!
(Donovan looks at Daryl and glares at him to which Daryl returns the glare.)
Donovan Duke: At least we better be or else I am going to have to put the pressure on my own back and be the only chance we have of winning this match.
(That didn’t sit well with any of the team as Akari and Damien each decided to speak up.)
Akari Kiyoko: YOU are the only chance that Showdown has of winning Brand Warfare? Are you being serious right now or did you just forget to take your crazy pills?
Damien Kutcher: You must not be playing with a full deck Duke because you can’t even get along with your own co-captain of this team! How in the hell can we fully depend on you in order to go all the way in the match if you can’t stop arguing with Daryl long enough to help be a true captain.
Akari Kiyoko: Yeah! So if anybody should be relied on to lead Showdown to victory, it should be SHOWTIME!! We’re the only people on this team with any sort of chemistry. We will have to do everything we can in order to help Showdown from looking like total idiots. We will work with you guys at Territorial Invasion, but we are NOT going to simply sit back and watch these two gutterballs of captains fuck everything up.
Donovan Duke: GUTTERBALLS!
Daryl Kinkade: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?
(For the first time ever, Daryl and Donovan aren’t arguing with each other, but with Showtime about what they said about them as Xander sits back and listens to them bicker. After a few moments, Xander gets tired of it and steps in between the four of them to stop the fighting.
Xander Payne: WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!?!?
(That gets all four to stop arguing.)
Xander Payne: Shit, I swear you all fight more than my own damn children. Now you all listen to me. As much as I wanna say that the only person who is going to win this damn match for Showdown is me, I won’t… even though it’s true.
(The other four members of the team look at him with looks of confusion on their faces.)
Xander Payne: I don’t like any of you. I mean I REAAAAALLLLLLY don’t like any of you fuckers, but with all this fighting, you all are going to make us look like fucking idiots. Now you all listen to me.
Xander Payne: As much as I wanna beat the fuck out of all four of you, that shit is just going to have to wait. Right now, our supposed “captains” need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop fighting with each other every five seconds.
Xander Payne: And you two need to stop being so high and mighty and listen to the veterans of the team… especially me because the best person you can listen to because I am a Hall of Famer who has done it all and is one of the best that EAW has ever seen. That’s why you shouldn’t doubt me. But the reason I accepted this team is to beat the hell out of people and to further my cause to becoming Answers World Champion. NOT to babysit, so GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!
Donovan Duke: Yeah yeah. You all made your points. And as the exceptional captain that I am, I will acknowledge all of the input from this conversation. After that, I will be more than ready to lead all of you to VICTORY!
(As Donovan finishes, Daryl gets right up in Donovan’s face and Daryl does NOT look amused.)
Donovan Duke: What?
Daryl Kinkade: You bloody nutcase! Have you just tuned yourself out with what you are saying? What part of WE ARE CAPTAINS don’t you understand?
Donovan Duke: I understand it perfectly. I just don’t like it. I mean you are more than welcome to have some input on this team, but you have done NOTHING!
Daryl Kinkade: It’s hard to get a word in edgewise when a bloody psycho won’t shut the fuck up.
Donovan Duke: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PSYCHO?
Daryl Kinkade: If the straightjacket fits, wear it.
Donovan Duke: Listen here, asshole. I know you have been sitting back in the hopes that I fail, but let me tell you that you will not be getting out of this unscathed because you are being an ignorant piece of shit.
Daryl Kinkade: You’re so fucking crazy that you don’t understand that you are so full of yourself. If we win, it sure as hell won’t be because of you. I know what Alana said that we need to work together, but she doesn’t understand how infuriating you can be.
Donovan Duke: Ain’t that the truth. Infuriating? That’s a big word for you, lamebrain.
Daryl Kinkade: I can’t wait until this shit is over—
(As Daryl and Donovan are arguing, people have snuck into the ring and attacked Showdown from behind.)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S TEAM DYNASTY! THEY ARE HERE AND THEY ARE ATTACKING TEAM SHOWDOWN!!
Deadprez: FIRE AND ICE! MILLI BANKS! EFFY MCAVOY! LIMMY MONAGHAN! THEY ARE JUST ATTACKING SHOWDOWN! THEY GOT VOLTAGE BEFORE AND NOW IT’S SHOWDOWN’S TURN!
Gavin Kirkland: DON’T COUNT OUT SHOWDOWN! THEY ARE FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE DISRESPECTFUL DYNASTY TEAM… OH WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?
Eve: TEAM VOLTAGE IS NOW HERE! CODY MAVERICK! TLA! CHRIS ELITE! MIKU SAKAI! JAY JERRY JOHNSON! THEY HAVE SLID INTO THE RING AND HAVE JOINED THIS FIGHT!!
Deadprez: ALL FIFTEEN COMPETITORS IN THE BRAND WARFARE MATCH ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER ON SHOWDOWN! DAWG, THIS IS THE MOST SOLIDARITY TEAM SHOWDOWN HAS SEEN! GO FIGURE!!
(As the fight continues inside and outside the ring, Security and EAW Officials have come out and are starting to break up this fight.)
Eve: HERE COMES SECURITY AND OFFICIALS TO BREAK THIS UP AND THESE TEAMS ARE TRYING TO BREAK AWAY AND CONTINUE FIGHTING!
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: I am with the crowd on this one. Let them keep fighting. I mean Showdown was winning!!
Eve: You would think that, wouldn’t you?
Gavin Kirkland: I am because they were.
Deadprez: With all this chaos, Showdown’s Brand Warfare team better get it together and fast because right after the break, we have a special tag team match on tap. Brand Warfare team members collide as Co-Captains Donovan Duke and Daryl Kinkade take on Showtime! Showtime! Duke and Kinkade! NEXT!!
(The final shot shows all three Brand Warfare teams being separated by security and other officials. All members are trying their damndest to break free as the shot fades into a commercial.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring. Daryl Kinkade and Donovan Duke are already in the ring as well.)
Gina Romano: Already in the ring… representing Silas World… the team of Daryl Kinkade and Donovan Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd boos heavily.)
(“24’s” by TI hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And their opponents being accompanied by Luna… they are the team of Damien Kutcher and Akari Kiyoko… SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWTIME!!!
(Showtime makes their way down to the ring looking hyped and clearly getting along much better than the other team in the ring.)
Eve: This is a case of two guys who absolutely hate each other up against two guys who are a well oiled machine! It should be clear who the favorites are!
Gavin Kirkland: I wouldn’t be too sure. Donovan Duke and Daryl Kinkade are both accomplished veterans in their own right. Even if they don’t get along. And let’s not forget about Sexy Silas in their corner!
Deadprez: Sexy Silas? The people who you perv out over gets worse and worse every week…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Daryl Kinkade and Akari Kiyoko look to be starting things off here as Donovan Duke heads off to his corner and Damien Kutcher does the same. Kinkade quickly and aggressively locks up with Kiyoko shoving him backwards into the ropes and nearly out of the ring. But he breaks it up when the referee calls for it. Another lock up now as this time Kiyoko doesn’t let Kinkade push him backwards and stands his ground. Kiyoko then goes in for a chop on Kinkade who ducks beneath and paces around the ring. Kiyoko and Kinkade go to lock up again but Kinkade side steps it and Kiyoko lunges into the corner. Kinkade then hammers into Kiyoko with hard strikes from behind knocking him down onto his knees in the corner.
Deadprez: Daryl Kinkade now pressing his knees in hard up against the back of the neck of Akari Kiyoko who is in a bad way here. Kinkade breaks before five and then grabs the head of Kiyoko and rams him repeatedly into the turnbuckle pad. Kinkade takes down Kiyoko with a Snapmare Takedown into a Headlock before ramming his elbow hard repeatedly into the top of Kiyoko’s head knocking him down to the mat. Kiyoko pulls himself back up but Kinkade is waiting and hits him again with a measured punch to the face. Kiyoko stays up on his feet however and fires back with a punch of his own! Kiyoko batters Kinkade back into the ropes but Kinkade bursts back off the ropes with a Running Clothesline!!!-
Eve: But Akari Kiyoko ducks it and flies off the ropes on the opposite side! Daryl Kinkade turns around as Kiyoko flies into the air and hits a Leaping Crossbody across the ring flying into the chest of Kinkade and flattening him to the mat! Kiyoko to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TH-
Deadaprez: Only two! But still that came out of nowhere! Kinkade aggressively shoves Kiyoko up and off him and immediately begins throwing hands. Kinkade with rights and lefts fighting Kiyoko back as he gets back up to his feet. Kinkade whips Kiyoko across the ring again! He goes for a Back Toss as Kiyoko comes back across the ring from the Irish Whip!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: But Kiyoko leaps over the back of Kinkade and rolls him up with a Sunset Flip! He’s got him!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TH-
Eve: Nope! Only two yet again! Kinkade needs to watch out he might be dominating the early going of this match but Akari Kiyoko has almost beaten him twice in a row!
Deadprez: And Kinkade is visibly upset about this! He is getting heated and as soon as Kiyoko gets back up he takes him down with a Snapmare into another Headlock. Kinkade then begins bashing the skull of Kiyoko before dragging him back into his corner and making the tag in to Donovan Duke. And the crowd is booing loudly as the former champion enters the ring and applies a headlock of his own keeping Kiyoko grounded in the far corner away from his partner as Damien Kutcher tries to rally up the crowd to the side of Showtime!
Eve: But Kiyoko is powering back up! Duke throws Kiyoko into the ropes as he comes charging back in with a Flying Shoulder Tackle! He got all of it! Kiyoko back up as he makes his way over to the corner looking to tag his partner in but Duke rushes him from behind! Duke shoves Kiyoko through the ropes sending him sprawling to the outside. Kutcher gets off the apron to check on his partner as the referee begins the count! Kutcher is yelling at Kiyoko to get back up!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Deadaprez: Kiyoko gets back up and slowly gets back up into the ring. As soon as he does Duke rushes him with strikes kicking him low and then jabbing him hard in the face. Duke picks Kiyoko up and drops him with an Atomic Drop! Duke then rushes in and hits a Missile Dropkick sending Kiyoko down to the mat! A cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNN-
Gavin Kirkland: Not even one there! You would think that Kiyoko would have a bit less in the tank by now but apparently that is not the case!
Eve: Kutcher definitely looks a bit relieved by that but still he is keeping his arm outstretched determine to tag in his partner at any cost as soon as he is able! But with how Duke is dragging him backwards into his own corner that may be awhile yet! Hard elbow drop to the top of the skull of Kiyoko drops him down in the corner. And now Kinkade is entering the ring and Kinkade and Duke are double team stomping Kiyoko in the corner! Surprisingly good teamwork here but then Duke yells at Kinkade to get out of the ring! Duke shoves Kinkade and yells at him to get out! And Kinkade shoves Duke backwards! Things are breaking down it looks like I spoke too soon regarding that good teamwork!
Deadprez: But Kinkade reluctantly gets out of the ring but I think that was more due to the referee counting him down than Duke’s demands. Duke throws Kiyoko hard into the corner and charges in with a Stinger Splash!!!-
(TAG!)
Eve: It looks like Kinkade is tagging himself back in now! Duke looks annoyed by this he clearly wasn’t finished! And now he is arguing with Kinkade in the ring but he needs to leave the ring! Kiyoko is back up and they are arguing and have not even noticed!
Deadprez: Duke leaves the ring as Kinkade turns around-
Gavin Kirkland: KINKADE EATS A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW FROM KIYOKO!!! KINKADE JUST GOT ROCKED AND KINKADE JUST GOT DROPPED!!!
Eve: And now Kiyoko is rushing back over to his corner! But Duke enters the ring and rushes across to stop him! He grabs the leg as the illegal man!!!-
Deadprez: But Kiyoko twists around with his other leg and hits a Spinning Wheel Kick to the head of Duke sending him flying! Duke goes flying out of the ring under the bottom rope!!! ANd now Kiyoko is free! Can he make it!??!! Kiyoko lunges for his corner!!!-
Eve: But Kinkade is back up and grabs the leg!!!-
Deadprez: Too late!!!
(TAG!!)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh shit! Damien Kutcher just got tagged in and Daryl Kinkade looks like he has seen a ghost! Kutcher springboards up to the top rope and comes flying in with a Flying Forearm to the skull of Kinkade!!! Kutcher to the cover right away!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Eve: Kickout by Kinkade! But Kutcher is not done yet! Kutcher grabs the legs of Kinkade and throws him backwards into his corner with a slingshot! Kiyoko jumps up on the middle turnbuckle and puts his boot up and over it which connects with the head of Kinkade! Kinkade then falls backwards to Kutcher who hits a Backstabber dropping him down to the mat for another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: T-
Deadprez: Kickout by Kinkade! Kutcher then drags Kinkade back into his corner and begins lighting him up with punches and chops. Kutcher then tags in Kiyoko who then does the same. Kiyoko then tags Kutcher back in to hit him some more! Both men in the ring now as they pick up Kinkade and drop him with a Double Suplex! Showtime is working as a well oiled machine now! Props to Kiyoko who worked so hard to tag in his partner and isn’t just sitting out the rest of the match he’s continuing to give it his all!
Eve: And you can see the frustration building on the face of Donovan Duke in the corner as he watches his partner getting beaten black and blue in the corner of the opposition.
Gavin Kirkland: Let’s be real Eve. Donovan loves to see it.
Deadprez: You might be right for once Gavin but I am sure Donovan still wants to win the match…
Eve: Kutcher pulls Kinkade up and out of the corner and picks him up to slam Kutcher down hard. Kutcher then picks Kinkade up again and throws him back with a Stalling Suplex! Impressive strength! I think he had him up there for at least a full minute! Kinkade falls down to the mat as Kutcher picks him up once more! Kutcher whips Kinkade across the ring!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Donovan Duke tags in! Smart tag there from Donovan who enters the ring as Kinkade runs across it! Kutcher hasn’t noticed as he goes for a Back Toss on Kinkade!-
Eve: But Kinkade counters with a Running Knee Strike!!! Kinkade then grabs Kutcher-
Deadprez: MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!! KINKADE GOT ALL OF IT!!! THE COVER!!!
Referee: …
Gavin Kirkland: But Kinkade is not the legal man! Donovan Duke enters the ring as the referee is trying to inform Kinkade about this! Duke yanks Kinkade off Kutcher as Kinkade thinks he has the match won!
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Don’t worry lil buddy… I gots this…
Eve: Donovan Duke now into the cover as Kinkade is looking on in confusion!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: But Damien Kutcher kicks out! It is slowly dawning on the face of Daryl Kinkade what had happened! He had the match won but his partner tagged himself in! And that gave Kutcher the time he needed to recover to kick out!
Eve: Donovan Duke is seething as he gets back up but Daryl Kinkade confronts him and is yelling at him that he had the match won! Donovan just shoved Kinkade back! This team is not working together at all! And Kinkade shoves Donovan backwards as well!-
Deadprez: Wait! Kutcher just grabbed Donovan from behind! The roll up!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade just cost his team the match! Kick out Donovan!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Eve: But Daryl Kinkade breaks up the pinfall! Kinkade doesn’t want to actually lose the match after all-
Deadprez: But here comes Akari Kiyoko into the ring! Flying Dropkick off the top! Kiyoko just sent Kinkade flying out of the ring with that one! Kiyoko now going back into his corner as Kinkade gets back up and Duke sets his sights on Kutcher once more!
Eve: Duke kicks Kutcher hard in the gut and picks him up with a Suplex with great form. Duke does not go for a cover instead picking Kutcher up and throwing him head first into the corner. But Kutcher lands on the top rope! Kutcher throws himself backwards off the top rope with a Flying Crossbody! Duke tries to throw Kutcher off him but Kutcher rolls around and gets his arms around the neck of Duke transitioning into a Sleeper Hold to keep the former World Champ grounded! But Duke is kicking wildly trying to maneuver himself over to the bottom rope! He gets the edge of his boot on the rope and that is enough for the referee to call for a break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE-
Deadprez: Duke is released as Kutcher drags him by the arm back over to his corner and tags in Akari Kiyoko. He holds onto the arm as Kiyoko comes off the top with a Flying Double Foot Stomp right on the arm of Duke! Duke falls down in pain but Kiyoko picks him up and throws him back with a Gut Wrench Suplex!!! Kiyoko then runs across the ring as Kutcher enters in and throws Kiyoko high up into the air! Kiyoko flips backwards in midair before coming down on top of Duke with a splash! Kutcher rolls to the outside as Kiyoko makes the cover and this could be it!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The kickout! You guys keep acting like Showtime is such a great team. But I say it is illegal tactics! Daryl Kinkade is showing a lot of restraint and respect for the rules by not interfering unlike both members of Showtime!
Eve: I am pretty sure everyone in this match has broken some rules… But regardless.. Kiyoko picks Duke up and grabs him from behind with a Deadlift German Suplex dropping him right on the back of his neck. Kiyoko tried to apply a bridge there but wasn’t able to hold on he’s definitely getting worn out even if he might be in control right now.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Kiyoko tags in Damien Kutcher who enters the ring and together they hit a Double Team Clothesline dropping Duke to the mat. Kiyoko then leaves the ring as Kutcher picks up Duke and slings him over his shoulder. He rushes across the ring and then slams his opponent down! No! Duke slipped down behind the back of his opponent! Duke goes low with a Chop Block taking out the ankle of Kutcher! And now Duke has a shot to make in the tag to his opponent!
Eve: Duke slowly across the ring but can he trust Kinkade to actually tag him in?!?! Kinkade doesn’t look like he is extending his arm very much to make the tag!
Deadprez: Duke hurls himself across the ring. Kinkade is reluctant but suddenly he shoots his arm out to full length and makes the tag in to Duke! Kinkade rushes into the ring and begins lighting up Kutcher in the ring! Kinkade with a series of swift arm drags taking Kutcher down and then grabs the leg hooking it and flipping him over into a Half Boston Crab! But Kutcher rolls over and kicks him towards the corner! But Duke leaps over Kinkade and hits a Diving Leg Drop across the neck of his opponent! Duke and Kinkade pull Kutcher up and connect with a Double Team Suplex! It looks like somehow someway Daryl and Donovan are now on the same page and that spells bad news for Showtime!
Eve: Kinkade grabs Kutcher and connects with a European Uppercut sending him staggering backwards into the corner. Duke then rushes in and slams into him with a Clothesline! Akari Kiyoko has had just about enough as he enters the ring and rushes towards him! Clothesline over the top rope-
Deadprez: No! Donovan Duke ducked beneath and sent Akari Kiyoko flying over the top rope! Akari crashes and burns on the outside! But the referee has had enough and is ordering Donovan out of the ring as well.
Eve: But Donovan is refusing to get out of the ring!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! F-
Deadprez: Finally Donovan leaves the ring as Daryl urges him to get out so he can finish his opponent! Kutcher is slowly getting back up now as Daryl is stalking him! Kinkade is looking to put the finishing touches on Kutcher and with Kiyoko down on the outside there is nobody left to stop him-
(PUNCH!)
Eve: ???
Deadprez: What the? Donovan Duke just punched Daryl Kinkade hard in the back of the skull! Daryl staggers a little bit and then grabs the back of his neck in pain before turning around.
Eve: What was that all about?!?!
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) My bad bro. I was trying to hit the other guy. I thought you were Damien Kutcher.
Daryl Kinkade: (off-mic) Oh yeah? Cuz we look so much alike you sure that was an accident bruv?
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) I swear on Silas bro. Sorry about that.
Eve: Daryl Kinkade does not believe this lying piece of shit for a secon-
Deadprez: WAIT WHAT THE HELL? DAMIEN KUTCHER FROM BEHIND JUST ROLLED DARYL KINKADE UP! SCHOOL BOY ROLLUP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winners… SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTIME!!!!!!!
(“24’s” by TI hits to cheers from the crowd. Showtime quickly gets out of the ring as Daryl Kinkade gets back up to his feet and rages in the ring realizing what has just happened.)
Eve: What a screwjob! Donovan Duke just completely cost his team this match! They couldn’t work together at all!
Deadprez: And now Donovan Duke is looking concerned in the corner as Daryl Kinkade turns on him! Kinkade is going to beat that ass and Duke is more than deserving!
(Silas Mason jumps up on the apron as he is trying to calm Kinkade down as is Duke who is making loud excuses and trying to talk his way out of it!)
Daryl Kinkade: (off-mic) I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!
Eve: But Daryl’s rage cannot be contain-
Deadprez: Wait what the hell?!?! From behind! Xander Payne just rushed into the ring and ran right past Daryl Kinkade! Xander throws his full body weight into the corner crushing Donovan Duke! Xander then punches Silas Mason knocking him off the apron! Xander picks up Donovan and slams him down hard with a Full Body Press!
(Daryl Kinkade looks on in confusion as Xander continues to assault Donovan Duke!)
Gavin Kirkland: Save him Daryl! That’s your partner!
Daryl Kinkade: (off-mic) Fuck you all. I don’t need this…
(Daryl Kinkade rolls out of the ring and leaves.)
Eve: Daryl Kinkade has had enough tonight and you can’t blame him! He’s leaving Donovan Duke in the ring now as Xander jumps off the top rope with a Flying Body Splash! Xander just crushed every bone in Donovan’s body!
(EAW security is shown entering the ring. Xander is put in handcuffs and dragged out of the arena as he should not be on Showdown anyway. Medical staff and Silas Mason get into the ring to check on Donovan Duke who is still not moving.)
Eve: Damn. Donovan got rekt! And he lost the match too! Bad night all around for Silas World!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring the fluffiest kittens. <3 <3 <3)
(The camera shot has cut from the ringside area to somewhere in the backstage area to where Mikaela Street is sitting at a table with a smile on her face before she begins to speak.)
Mikaela Street: The action is certainly heating up tonight on Showdown as we get closer and closer to Territorial Invasion. As we go from one high profile match, we are about to focus on another as we talk about the Answers World Championship match.
Mikaela Street: In just a few weeks, we will see Answers World Champion Veena Adams put her title on the line as she is going to be challenged by Number One Contender, Jake Smith. With that being said, at this time, please allow me to welcome my special guest… THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… VEENA ADAMS!
(The camera shot widens to show Veena Adams sitting at the table across from Mikaela Street. The crowd is cheering loudly for Veena in the background as she pats the Answers World Championship belt that is sitting on the table in front of Veena. Veena has a smile on her face as Mikaela speaks up.)
Mikaela Street: Veena. Thank you so much for giving us a few minutes of your time for this interview.
Veena Adams: It’s my pleasure. I am glad to be here.
Mikaela Street: We appreciate it. Wow. Look at this sight right here. Veena Adams. The reigning Answers World Champion. This is a picture that many people never thought that they would see in their life. Nothing personal, of course.
Veena Adams: I know what you mean. Naturally, one of the goals of my career was to be World Champion and it was a dream that, admittedly a few times, I thought that never was going to happen. But I am glad that it did. I am glad to be sitting here as the Answers World Champion.
Mikaela Street: I can understand what you mean by the thoughts going through your head, but let’s talk about your career from this standpoint. For a competitor who has been part of Elite Answers Wrestling for as long as you’ve had, you’ve certainly had an interesting and storied career.
(Veena lets out a small laugh after Mikaela’s statement.)
Veena Adams: Well storied is certainly one way to describe my career. But I get what you mean, Mikaela. Started from the bottom and now I’m here. It’s a very good feeling.
Mikaela Street: One question I do have for you is how does it feel to finally break free of your supposed reputation when you debuted as well as many of the labels that many people placed upon you early on in your career?
Veena Adams: You mean the same labels that people are still labeling me with? Bitch. Whore. Cunt. Brat. Did I cover the main ones?
Mikaela Street: I think so.
Veena Adams: There are some things that will never change. As for my “reputation”, I knew even from the very beginning that one day people are going to realize that I am much more than Methuselah’s niece. They were going to see eventually that I am more than some nepo-baby. They were going to see me as more than some spoiled bitch. The moment of eventually has finally come and it’s great to see how the fans see the truth.
Mikaela Street: That is very true and that respect you earned from the fans and competitors in the back has led you to having the breakout season of your entire career.
Veena Adams: Contrary to what many people said, the fans aren’t stupid. They might like me or they might hate me, but they have learned to respect me and what I can do in the ring. Look at where I am now. The top competitor on Showdown.
Mikaela Street: I’ll say again that last season could easily be considered the breakout season for Veena Adams. While it was an amazing season for you, it certainly came with a few negative moments. Setbacks so to speak. The first one was unfortunately when you were the National Elite Champion and you were cashed in on by SOSA Henderson.
Veena Adams: Yeah, that sucked. I remember that night. Almost like it was yesterday. I was on my way to breaking that psycho midget Donovan Duke’s title reign record after successfully defending my title at that event. Then I was attacked from behind by some stupid bitch. I actually know who the bitch is, but I am not going to give her the pleasure of free publicity by having her name coming from my mouth.
(Veena shrugs as Mikaela nods before Veena continues.)
Veena Adams: While all that was going down, SOSA came down and cashed in his contract and became the new National Elite Champion. When it happened, I was angry and frustrated, but thinking back on it, it was probably for the best. If I didn’t lose the title then, I probably would not be where I am now.
Mikaela Street: That is certainly a positive way to look at it. As we go from one setback, we go to that is easily considered the biggest setback of your season when you were competing at Road to Redemption and you injured your ankle. Would you care to explain how that happened?
Veena Adams: It was a freak accident. That’s probably the best way I can describe it. I was on the top rope and attempting a move that I have done time and time again, but the person rolled out of the way and I landed on my feet. It was nothing new because I have done that a million times, but this time it felt different. Later on, I found out that I broke my ankle on that landing. I felt horrible because I ruined the match for my dear Charlie.
Mikaela Street: What else was going through your mind?
Veena Adams: How quickly could I recover from that injury? Will I be able to come back from that injury?
Mikaela Street: But you did come back from that injury at Reasonable Doubt and you were able to recover all the way to the first Pain for Pride Main Event match of your career where you finally realized your dream of becoming World Champion.
Veena Adams: You better believe it and it feels so good. Good that I saved the title from that deranged midget and his band of weirdo. Even better that I have finally realized this dream I have had for many years.
Mikaela Street: With that being said, your title reign is being put in jeopardy once again as you head towards Territorial Invasion and defend your title against former World Champion Jake Smith. Do you have anything to say about Jake Smith?
Veena Adams: Yeah I do and none of it is good. He is a classic case of little man syndrome. No wonder Caroline likes him so much. I am so sick of that bastard and the sooner I successfully defend MY Answers World Championship, the sooner I can get away from him and his cheap hair dye and stuffed shoes.
Mikaela Street: How did you feel when Jake lured you into a position where Xander and Caroline attacked you and left with your title belt?
Veena Adams: I was close to burning the title because Jake got his skanky hands all over it. Gawd knows when the last time he washed his hands. All he has done is make an ass out of himself and when we meet at Territorial Invasion, he is going to learn what happens when he pulls that shit with–
(CRACK!)
Deadprez: IT’S JAKE SMITH! JAKE HAS JUST ATTACKED VEENA FROM BEHIND AND HE IS POUNDING THE CRAP OUT OF VEENA AND VEENA IS DOWN ON THE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Jake is crouching down and stalking Veena like he is some sort of predator. He is watching as Veena slowly gets back to her feet–
Eve: JAKE GRABS VEENA BY THE HEAD AND SENDS HER THROUGH THE TABLE WITH THE “STARMAKER”! WHAT A CUTTER BY THE CHALLENGER FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND VEENA HAS GOT TO BE UNCONSCIOUS!
Deadprez: I hope that bastard is proud of himself. Who am I kidding? Of course he is.
(Jake gets back to his feet after the cutter as he looks at Mikaela and Mikeala can’t believe what just happened.)
Mikaela Street: JAKE! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHY DID YOU DO THIS?
Jake Smith: Shut up! If you were going to interview anybody right now, it should have been ME!
(Jake glares at Mikaela before glaring at Veena once again before he walks away with an evil smirk on his face. Mikaela is in shock as she kneels down to check on Veena.)
Mikeala Street: HURRY! WE NEED SOME HELP!
(The final shot shows EAW officials arriving to come and check on a motionless and unconscious Veena as Mikaela is still kneeling down to check on Veena as well as the camera shot fades into the last commercial break of the night.)
(Showdown comes back from its final commercial, the cameras focusing on the entrance stage for the main event. “Burn In My Light” by Mercy Drive plays on the speakers to a loud chorus of boos, Kai Rabeaux walks forward without showing any emotion, expressionless as he walks forward, he completely waves off the negative reaction from the crowd, he knows that he is in enemy territory right now and he isn’t going to react to the less fortunate. He takes calm steps further and further, even posing a bit to show off towards the crowd before he stops in the middle of the ramp. At that moment, the music changes to “Pride and Arrogance” by Takeru Kanazaki and the boos get even louder, Drake Armstrong walking right behind Kai, he spreads his arms, the biggest shit eating grin on his face, showing off all of his greatness towards the Showdown crowd, Hans does ends up following right along, a bit of an embarrassed expression having to follow these two with this kind of reaction, Drake ends up guiding him along though as the Captain that he is, and he even gets a chance to let the three pose together before quickly following along towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK AND SCARSDALE NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN AT A COMBINED 465 POUNDS, WE HAVE “MR. 24/7” KAIIIIII RABEAUUUUUX, AND THE KING OF ELITE HIMSELF, DRAKEEEEE ARMSTROOOOONG!!!
Eve: Here we have Team Voltage itself coming down to the ring from the main event, obviously the crowd is not very fond of them, especially due to the personalities that are in it in the first place. I do feel a little bit bad about Hans.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t!
Deadprez: Eh, 50/50 there myself. Can’t have mercy for the enemy. But it is very weird how he got roped into this team in the first place, Drake has been really trying his best to hammer that he wants to be the Captain of the team, to succeed and actually work together with both his partners, but after all that drama Drake and Kai had with Ashlynn, it seems that the two of them are fully focused to get into this match and get a win heading into Territorial Invasion.
(Hans moves and takes ringside, as Drake and Kai quickly enter inside and then take their corner, warming up and getting ready for the match as then, “Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra plays on the speakers to loud cheers, the camera goes up the ramp as Bea Valentine enters the arena, twirling her robe around to the notes of the orchestra, a focused expression on her face as she goes down the ramp and looks towards the camera in a dramatic manner before she quickly stops, and turns towards the entrance stage. At that moment, “LIKE WEEZY” by Playboi Carti now hits the speakers to further loud cheers, the man himself Joso coming out with a fully confident expression on his face, a smile does crack on his face while he looks at the cheering crowd around him, they get even louder as he hypes them up and he walks forward, as none other than Impact himself follows along, a walk calm but one full of conviction as he accompanies the two young stars. Bea actually stops the two in the middle of the ramp and then she poses along right across, the two just following along with her antics and the Showdown team posing for the camera before they finally move towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS, FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AND THE BRONX, NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN AT A COMBINED 349 POUNDS, WE HAVE “THE ETERNAL EMPRESS”, BEAAAAA VALENTINEEEEE AND THE “STAR PLAYER” JOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: And here comes our Showdown Wargames Team, ready and primed for this gigantic main event! The three of them have had their own problems having to deal with Silas World.
Deadprez: Who hasn’t at this point, man? They gonna ruin everything if we aren’t careful!
Eve: But we have a solid team heading into the event, we have Bea Valentine, we have Joso, we have Impact himself, I truly believe that we have the winning team heading into such an event, and tonight they have the chance to succeed and send a message to the other teams!
(Impact takes ringside as well, Hans glaring right at him as he takes the side opposite him. Joso and Bea enter inside as well and then take their corner, warming up and preparing, the two teams still in the ring as then…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY HERE IN THIS MATCH UP! The crowd roars in excitement as they look forward to this main event, they wait patiently with baited breath to see who ends up entering the ring first!
Eve: Joso ends up taking the ring and then he walks forward to loud cheers of the crowd, warming himself up and ready to go!
Deadprez: And the man who decides to enter as well… is Drake Armstrong himself! Drake enters through the ropes and then a small grin appears on his face as he stares right at Joso, these two men have had many bouts against each other in their history, and yet again, they will clash tonight in Showdown!
Eve: Joso does not have any fear, he talks trash right towards Drake in front of him, and Drake waves him off, the two of them raising their arms and ready to duke it out, moving forward and then locking up in the middle of the ring! The two of them quickly trying to push each other back, Joso moving to try and get Drake into a headlock, Drake moves his head at the last moment and grabs onto Joso behind him, waistlock here, Drake suddenly pushes him away and-
(TAG!)
Deadprez: And Drake suddenly tags Kai in! The crowd now boos heavily as Joso turns at the last second, Drake laughs to himself and then he enters through the ropes, he is not going to give Joso the satisfaction to fight him this early into the match.
Eve: Either he is trying to play mindgames already or he is just scared of Joso, one of the two.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, don’t be dissing Mr. Drake Armstrong himself! I know a man with a plan when I see one, but anyway, due to Showdown bias, he is a coward to me! KICK THEIR ASSES!
Eve: Oh, but it does seem like Kai ends up giving Drake a bit of a side eye after that one, he seems slightly annoyed that Drake is already trying to play those games without telling him, but he decides to go through with it and he enters inside, now Kai Rabeaux being the legal man for his team.
Deadprez: JOSO TRIES TO HIT KAI SQUARE IN THE FACE AS SOON AS HE TRIES TO ENTER!
Eve: Kai ducks right down the punch and lets Joso bounce off the ropes here, Kai grabbing onto his waist and then trying to lift him up, Snap Dragon Suplex right out of nowhere towards Joso!
Deadprez: Joso pulls his arms down and blocks it, elbowing Kai right on the face and forcing him to back up! Kai backs away from the elbow and then he tries to hit Joso down with a clothesline, Joso ducking right down and then running towards the ropes here, bouncing off them in response, and just as Kai turns! SLINGBLADE TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Eve: Joso rises up after that slingblade, running towards the ropes and then jumping onto the second rope- SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT DOESN’T WORK OUT IN JOSO’S FAVOR! Kai catches Joso right on his shoulders and then he turns towards the crowd, smirking in response towards the booing crowd before rushing forward with Joso- LAWN DART STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE CORNER! Joso’s face gets smashed straight into it and he falls down hard onto the mat, all while Kai rises up and then flexes his arms towards the crowd!
Eve: Kai definitely not someone to be considered a kind soul here, as he walks towards Joso laying against the corner after being thrown face first into the corner and then he starts STOMPING the former world champion out! Kai has no mercy as he puts his weight down on Joso and then he poses in the corner, drawing more ire from the Showdown crowd here!
Deadprez: These guys are easy to hate AND they aren’t from this brand? Now that’s an ugly combo right there. Kai finally lets go of Joso and then he pulls him up here, Kai here- FOREARM RIGHT TOWARDS THE FACE! KICK STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE CHEST BEFORE FINALLY PULLING HIM OFF THE CORNER- AND THEN ENDING THE COMBO WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX IN THE MIDDLE! Kai moves over and then covers Joso!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWO-
Eve: But just at two, Joso is able to kick right out! Kai wraps his arms right around Joso’s head and then he tries to wrench his head to the side, Kai keeping the headlock in as much as he can and trying to squeeze the energy right out of Joso.
Deadprez: Joso ain’t staying down though! He rises up slowly and pushes through the pickle that Kai put him in, Kai tries to keep him down by putting his weight right over him, but that gives Joso the chance to roll back, and pin Kai’s shoulders down quickly!
Referee: ONE!
Eve: Kai lets go of the headlock and kicks out at one in response! The two scurry up to their feet as fast as they can, and the two of them go for a dropkick! Both dropkicks clash in the air as they fall down to the mat, the two of them rolling forward in response and then kipping up to their feet! Kai tries to run right at Joso and then hit him down with a Running Knee Strike!
Deadprez: Joso backs away to the ropes right behind him, turning at the last second to jump onto the second rope- and springboards right over Kai! Kai hits the ropes instead and Joso rolls through yet again, moving towards his corner-
(TAG!)
Eve: AND TAGGING BEA VALENTINE INSIDE! Bea enters inside and the two of them stand right beside each other, as Kai tries to run at them, Joso going down low right in time- and hitting a dropkick to force Kai into one knee!
Gavin Kirkland: AND BEA VALENTINE FINISHING IT RIGHT OFF WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHINING WIZARD RIGHT ACROSS KAI’S FACE! Incredible teamwork from the Showdown Wargames, even Impact is clapping in support at the display!
Eve: Bea moves just as Joso gets through the ring apron and then she covers Kai!
Referee: ONEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: But Kai kicks right out at two, preventing the Showdown team from getting a quick win right then and there! Bea slams the mat and then she rises up to her feet, clapping in a rhythm and trying to get the crowd to clap along as well, Bea moving and then rushing towards the ropes, bouncing off them- drops both knees right onto Kai, before flipping back! INSULT TO INJURY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Eve: The crowd cheer on loudly at The Eternal Empress, grabbing Kai by his head and then trying to lift him up to his feet, Bea kissing her first in a dramatic manner before beginning to pummel Kai right in the face with punch after punch after punch! Trying to push Kai back against the ropes with every strike! She grabs right onto his hand and then she irish whips him towards the other side of the ring! Waiting for Kai to rebound before Bea spins around- DISCUS LARIAT AT KAI!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SUDDENLY KAI LIFTS HIS LEG AND THEN HE ENDS UP HITTING BEA RIGHT ON THE JAW WITH THAT BIG BOOT OUT OF NOWHERE! Bea goes down and Kai falls down as well to the mat, shaking his head and trying to get back focus on the match, especially after Joso and Bea did a number on him there!
Eve: It seems that Drake notices that as well and he is actually reaching his hand out towards Kai! Kai does give him a small side-eye, despite their talks, Kai is still annoyed about what Drake told to Ashlynn about him, and the fact that he has been acting incredibly weird the past few months, he has been really trying his best to be buddy buddy with Hans, one of his biggest enemies since he began wrestling here, what is truly his whole plan?
Gavin Kirkland: All three have a possible world title shot in their hands, and also since Voltage are COWARDS and give rewards if their teams win, I guess Drake could have a chance… to get more power? Even I have to admit I don’t have the brain for that! Anyways, KAI FOLLOWS ALONG AND HE TAGS DRAKE IN!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Drake enters inside and almost immediately starts giving orders to Kai, it seems that he actually wants to show off some teamwork with Kai here, Kai goes along with it and he quickly moves to place right beside Drake here! The two of them grab onto a rising Bea, moving behind them and then irish whipping her towards the ropes, before moving forward-
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE TWO OF THEM WITH A DEVASTATING DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! OKAY, NOW THAT WAS HYPE!
Eve: Uuuh, it really wasn’t that crazy, dude. But it got the job done! Drake shows actual excitement and a good pat on the back towards Kai as Kai almost immediately moves to get on the ring apron and Hans just ends up… clapping awkwardly at the “teamwork”.
Deadprez: Sadly though, now Bea here is the one in trouble as Drake circles around her and then he starts stomping hard down on her limbs, further damaging her with every stomp that he sends down onto her!
Eve: Drake is now looking to slow down the match to his pace, grabbing Bea Valentine, lifting her up right up- and then sending her down with a front powerslam! Before transitioning here to a sudden headlock and then wrenching on her head!
Gavin Kirkland: Seems he succeeded in slowing it down now! Bea Valentine though is struggling hard against Drake and she is making it very hard for him to make Bea stay still, I would understand that kind of experience though, I have dealt with a fair share of hyperactive women in my past in the many dates I had.
Eve: That is quite literally not true.
Gavin Kirkland: Okay, maybe it isn’t in some parts but I have met plenty of women!
Eve: In the worst way possible, of course! But anyway, Drake is trying his best to keep Bea down but she is moving around and trying to get towards the ropes, she actually uses her weight to pull herself to the side, and try to bring Drake right along with her, yet again trying to turn that into a quick pin like Joso did a bit ago!
Deadprez: But Drake rolls a second time and switches position here, getting right behind Bea and locking in a sleeper hold instead, trying to further cut off her air supply and wanting to make her tap out right in the middle of the ring, will Bea succumb to this adversity?
Eve: No! Bea is yet again moving around, showing fire despite the situation, resisting against the temptation of being put to sleep by Drake Armstrong! She is slamming her hands on the mat, further pushing herself up, even Joso is slamming the corner pad as well to the beat, the crowd clapping on beat to show their support as Bea gets further and further up to her feet, Drake being unable to stop it!
Gavin Kirkland: A STUNNER FROM MISS VALENTINE FINALLY FLOORS DRAKE DOWN! Drake keeps himself on his knees from the drop and that gives Bea the chance to push herself up to her feet, bouncing off the ropes and then jumping right onto the air! Running Crossbody to floor Drake down!
Deadprez: But Drake ends up catching Bea with both of his arms and then rolls through up to his feet with her in tow, showing off his strength and then making the crowd boo in response as he stopped Bea’s comeback! As he lifts Bea up and then tries to get her up onto his shoulders!
Eve: Bea slips through right over him- AND THEN SHE LOCKS IN HER OWN SLEEPERHOLD WHILE ON TOP OF HIS SHOULDERS!
Deadprez: NOW DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS THE ONE STRESSING HERE! Bea is trying to pull back her own body as far back as she can, trying to wrap her legs around Drake and then bring him down to the floor, he is panicking and trying to shake him off of her as best as he can!
Eve: Drake is slowly starting to stumble backwards towards the ropes here-
Deadprez: WHAT THE?! KAI SUDDENLY WENT AND HIT A FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF BEA’S HEAD! He isn’t even the legal man! The referee ends up seeing that and then he ends up reprimanding Kai, Kai putting his hands in the air acting like he didn’t do anything!
Eve: The forearm got Bea real good and despite the hit, she is still holding onto Drake here- OH! BUT DRAKE NOW GOES AT THE EYES! FORCING BEA TO LET GO! Bea grabs at her face after being attacked like that and now Drake yet again goes to cut Bea down! He stomps her right on the knee, forcing her to fall onto the mat- AND NOW HE HAS AN ANKLE LOCK ON BEA VALENTINE!
Deadprez: Yet again Drake trying to cut down Bea’s chances of mounting a comeback to take him down, Drake doing everything in his power to further hurt Bea and trying to end the match the way that he wants, but Bea is shaking her head in defiance once more! She will not give up!
Gavin Kirkland: She is pulling herself along, trying her best to balance herself on her other foot and raise herself up a little higher, but Drake is also- ELBOWING THE BACK OF HER KNEE TO TRY AND PUSH HER DOWN YET AGAIN! Drake sees clearly that Bea is trying to get towards the ropes and he is doing everything in his power to not let her!
Eve: Wait, Bea is slowly shifting her body now in another direction, confusing Drake… as she sees Joso reaching out his hand towards her! He is trying to give Bea the chance to tag him in!
Deadprez: The crowd are clapping along yet again, Joso trying to reach forward as far as he can, Bea being able to get up on her other foot and hopping little by little, inch by inch, despite Drake’s best efforts!
Eve: BEA IS ABLE TO REACH FORWARD!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: AND JOSO IS IN! DRAKE ENDS UP LETTING GO OF BEA, MOVING QUICKLY TO DEFEND HIMSELF! BUT JOSO IS ALREADY MOVING, HE JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND THEN JUMPS OFF! A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE MAT!
Eve: Joso rolls through once he lands, Kai trying to enter inside to be able to help his partner, but Joso is able to get to him first and for his troubles- HE GETS HIT RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A BICYCLE KICK! Kai falls hard against the ring apron after that kick but he still holds on there!
Deadprez: Joso turns around and he finally has the ring to himself and Drake, all alone here! Drake shakes his head and then he tries to run forward, moving to try and take Joso’s off with a lariat as he runs at him!
Eve: Joso ducks right down in time and avoids the lariat! He bounces right off the ropes and then he sees Drake right in his sights- Superkick right towards the knee! Joso pulls back- SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW! AND ONCE MORE BACKS AWAY, BEFORE JUMPING AND TRYING TO GO FOR A DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP!
Deadprez: Drake rolls his head out of the way right before Joso can hit him in the chest with the footstomp, Drake grabs him by his legs and then he sweeps him right towards the ground! Yet again Drake tries to grab onto him and then lock in a submission here!
Eve: Joso is able to avoid Drake grabbing onto him! He rolls over, wraps his legs right around him! TRIES FOR A CROSS ARMBREAKER IN THE MIDDLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake finds a way to move around himself, rolling here- reversing the cross armbreaker and putting weight on Joso, pinning both of Joso’s shoulders down to the mat!
Referee: ONEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Joso kicks out right before the two count and lets off the cross armbreaker, both men try to scurry up to their feet and try to beat the other one to the race! CHOPBLOCK FROM DRAKE DIRECTLY TOWARDS JOSO’S CHEST!
Deadprez: Joso stops himself for a few seconds but in retaliation- A CHOP BACK DIRECTLY TOWARDS DRAKE’S CHEST! Followed up by a flurry of punches directly at Drake’s head, pushing him further and further back towards the ropes here, trying to force Drake into a corner with everything that he has, as Joso turns towards the other side of the ring! Moving to bounce off the ropes-
Eve: AND JOSO CAN’T GET IT! DRAKE RUNS FORWARD AND WITH A HIGH KNEE HE HITS JOSO DOWN TO THE GROUND! He turns towards his corner and sees that Kai is back up to his feet, as Drake runs forward towards him! And he reaches him!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Kai is now the one that enters inside all while Drake is able to rest in the ring apron once more, but I think that he might have done a big mistake here as he does not notice yet! BEA DIDN’T STAY PUT IN HER OWN CORNER!
Eve: SHE MOVED AROUND AND WAS IN THE SAME SIDE WITH DRAKE! DRAKE NOTICES TOO LATE AS SHE RUNS RIGHT TOWARDS HIM AND THEN SHE LEAPS ONTO HIM! Drake is able to grab her right before she can do anything… BUT SHE PULLS BACK!
Deadprez: MONKEY FLIP FROM THE RING APRON RIGHT ONTO THE COLD FLOOR OUTSIDE! DRAKE LANDS HARD AND AN EXPRESSION FULL OF PAIN CAN BE SEEN IN HIS FACE! Bea took a huge risk there as she also fell hard onto the floor with him but she has given Joso the chance to get a one on one with Kai!
Eve: Kai is not willing to show any mercy towards Joso here, as he has his sights lined right up at him! Kai taking it… and running with it! HE TRIES TO TAKE JOSO’S HEAD OFF WITH THE “REDLINED!”
Gavin Kirkland: A DESPERATE POP-UP KNEE STRIKE LANDS RIGHT ACROSS KAI’S JAW! Joso rocks him right in the middle of the ring, he pulls away and yet again tries to kick Kai again in the jaw! ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Eve: Kai catches Joso’s leg right before he can hit him! Kai pulls him right towards him and then tries to pop him up onto the shoulders, to be able to bring him down to the mat with a powerbomb!
Deadprez: Joso ends up reversing that powerbomb! He sends Kai flying towards the other corner and then he raises up towards his feet! He gets some distance here and runs at the opposite corner and then gets some momentum, moving to run back at Kai and trying to hit him-
Eve: Kai runs forward and catches Joso right before he can hit him- HE POPS HIM RIGHT OVER HIS SHOULDERS!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KAI OVERSHOOTS THE POP UP! JOSO LANDS ON THE TOP OF THE CORNER! Kai turns at the last second, oblivious to what ended up happening, as Joso dives off- DIVING DDT RIGHT ONTO KAI!
Eve: JOSO GETS SWATTED RIGHT OFF THE AIR WITH A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK FROM KAI RABEAUX! RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF HIS BODY! Kai rolls away and then he runs towards the corner right beside him, and he crouches in anticipation! He is seeking the victory right when he has it in his fingertips!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso slowly rises up after that dropkick, and Kai finally sees his target! HE RUNS FORWARD AND TRIES TO FINALLY TAKE JOSO’S HEAD OFF! THE “BLADE OF BABYLON!!!”
Eve: JOSO DUCKS HIS HEAD RIGHT TO THE SIDE!
Deadprez: WITH PINPOINT PRECISION CATCHES KAI’S ARM!!! RIGHT INTO A BEAUTIFUL ARMDRAG!!! KAI IS LEFT CONFUSED AFTER THAT SUDDEN REVERSAL! HE TRIES TO PUSH HIMSELF UP TOWARDS HIS FEET! AS HE TURNS RIGHT AROUND!
Eve: SPINNING KICK TO THE GUT! JOSO GRABS HIM BY BOTH OF HIS ARMS TO LIFT HIM UP!
Gavin Kirkland: “HEAVEN’S GATE!!!”
Eve: KAI STRUGGLES THOUGH! HE STRUGGLES HARD AND HE IS ABLE TO SLIP OFF OF JOSO’S GRASP! THE TWO BACK AWAY!
Deadprez: AND THEY HIT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME WITH FOREARM STRIKES TO EACH OTHER’S FACE! THE IMPACT MAKES THEM BACK AWAY TOWARDS THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: AS THEY BOUNCE OFF THEM AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY TRY TO CLASH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! WHO IS FASTER-
Eve: WHAT?
Deadprez: WHAT??????
Gavin Kirkland: A DOUBLE SPEAR FROM METHUSELAH HIMSELF TAKES BOTH JOSO AND KAI RABEAUX DOWN! WHAT THE HELL????? WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: THE CHAIRMAN OF EAW AND THE DYNASTY WARGAMES TEAM CAPTAIN JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE TO SPEAR BOTH JOSO AND KAI!
Deadprez: WAIT! IMPACT! IMPACT GOES DOWN! A CHAIR RIGHT TO HIS BACK! DRAKE KING IS SWINGING DOWN A STEEL CHAIR INTO THE 10 TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND HAVING NO MERCY AT ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: HANS GRAYSON GOES DOWN TO THE GROUND! A DIVING LARIAT AS BRAE JUMPS OFF THE BARRICADE AND TAKES DOWN HANS, AND HE STARTS BEATING HIM DOWN! TEAM DYNASTY HERE TO SEND A HUGE MESSAGE!
Eve: METHUSELAH SLOWLY RISES- BUT BEA AND DRAKE SUDDENLY COME FROM BEHIND AND JUMP HIM! DRAKE AND BEA WITH A TEMPORARY ALLIANCE AS THEY LOOK TO TAKE DOWN THIS POWERFUL MAN!
Deadprez: BUT HE IS NOT GOING DOWN! HE IS TAKING THOSE STRIKES LIKE THEY ARE NOTHING! AS HE LIFTS BOTH HIS ARMS, AND THEN PUSHES DRAKE AND BEA AWAY FROM HIM!
Eve: DRAKE TRIES TO RUN FORWARD WITH A LARIAT!
Deadprez: METHUSELAH DUCKS DOWN-
Eve: RIGHT INTO A “MORRIGAN” FROM BRAE! THE KNEE KNOCKS DRAKE RIGHT OUT ONTO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA TRIES TO GO FOR AN ATTACK HERSELF- AS METHUSELAH UNCEREMONIOUSLY KICKS HER RIGHT ON THE KNEE AND SHE FALLS DOWN!
Eve: AS DRAKE KING STOMPS HER RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH “JUDGEMENT DAY!!!” NO FREAKING WAY!
Deadprez: TEAM DYNASTY STANDS ON TOP!
Gavin Kirkland: AWAKEN! METHUSELAH ELEVATION! AWA- I am not doing all those repetitions, but I don’t want to get fired so WOOO! LET’S GO BOSS!
(Methuselah walks over slowly, his expression not showing any emotion as he sees the piles of bodies all around the ring, he only looks up to the sky as “Vent (Original Version” by Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar plays on the speakers to loud boos, Drake King and BRAE himself look down and stand on their feet too, but not next to Methuselah. The two of them only give a small glance to each other their way before they look away and then stand victorious on their attack two. The cameras focusing on the Showdown and Voltage team fully out as the Dynasty team stands on top.)
