DAY 1
(EAW Intro Plays)
(The camera fades in through drifting smoke. Jazz hums low. Streetlights flicker as one person walks through the streets of New Orleans.)
Narrator: New Orleans… The Big Easy. That’s what they call it. Easy streets. Easy nights. Easy legends built on good times and bad decisions. But tonight? Ain’t nothing easy about what’s coming.
(The footage turns to the various faces of all the EAW Elitists that are on the roster right now and some of the highlights from the first half of Season 19. It then fades back to the narrator.)
Narrator: This city breathes history through cracked pavement and iron balconies. It drinks in the sins, dances with the dead, and pretends tomorrow always comes with another parade. You celebrate survival here. Such as the storm, the flood, the hangover… and you tell yourselves that’s strength. But strength isn’t surviving, it is conquering.
(It transitions to Mia Santoro holding up the Specialist Championship while Auburn Ware looks at her and smiles. It then changes to Ashlynn Queen with a finger on her lips as the new Breed Championship rests on her shoulder as she smirks before then turning to the loudmouth of Clayton Golde laughing while recording himself. Finally, it changes to BRAE proudly raising the Interwire Championship in the air as Anna Wautier looks on and nods.)
Narrator: They say New Orleans never sleeps. That it whispers to you, pulls you in, makes you forget who you are. Bourbon Street will lie to you. The brass bands will distract you. The ghosts will cheer you on like they know your name. And the fans will scream their name in the ring with cheers or jeers.
(It changes to footage of the Elitists that will be competing in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal. It then shows Jake Smith with Caroline posing in the ring with Joso walking out with mic in hand. It then shows Methuselah laughing while a gritting David Gideon Smith looks on.)
Narrator: And while you’re busy celebrating the vibe, the Elitists of the EAW will be bringing the violence.
(It fades into Dr. Bethany Blue with the Hardcore Championship around her waist standing face to face with her challenger, TLA. It then changes to Harper Lee with the National Elite Championship as Daryl Kinkade, Brianna Hill, and Pandora Paisley all look to take it while Silas Mason looks distraught. It then changes to Drake Armstrong with a smirk on his face with Hans Grayson looking on, and then Kai Rabeaux raises his arms, but then looking at them is Minerva, Daniella Atlas, and Selina Reyes, also known as ToXXXin standing together in unison ready to dominate.)
Narrator: Because the Big Easy is built for people who want comfort. But these Elitists and the warriors of the EAW thrive where it gets uncomfortable.
(The footage changes to The UWC Extreme Elimination Chamber of Ms. Extreme holding up her Championship, then Holly Arrow, Raven Roberts, KASAI, Milli Banks, and ARIA. It then switched to the Dynasty World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber. It has Michael Machina with Kirk Redwood, Effy McAvoy, Limmy Monaghan, Rex McAllister, and Drake King.)
Narrator: When the bell rings, there will be no jazz rhythm, no second line, no sweet mercy. Just bones snapping like old floorboards and echoes louder than any trumpet this city’s ever heard.
(It then switches to the Answers World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber with Veena Adams holding the title, then it shows Akari Kiyoko, Vincent Mondrian, Donovan Duke, Impact, and Bea Valentine. It then turns to the EAW World Championship as it has Adam Lucas holding the title, and then shows Chris Elite, Miku Sakai, Jay Jerry Johnson, Bronson Daniels, and Jon Kelton.)
Narrator: So, raise your glasses. Throw your beads. Say your prayers to the saints and the sinners alike. Because when I walk out of New Orleans… The Big Easy is going to learn things the hard way. WELCOME AS WE ARE THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
(The camera fades on the Narrator as he continues walking through Bourbon Street.)
???: AND NOW EAW AND SPONGEBOB THE MOVIE PRESENTS ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
(The fireworks go off as “My Old Ways” by Tame Impala plays throughout Caesar’s Superdome. The sold out crowd is on their feet as the camera transitions to the announce team of Dynasty’s Stew-O, Showdown’s Gavin Kirkland, and Voltage’s Persephone.)
Stew-O: WELCOME EAW FANS TO ROAD TO REDEMPTION! AND WHAT A GREAT SHOW WE HAVE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT! FOUR EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBERS! AND TO TOP THAT OFF WE HAVE ALMOST EVERY TITLE ON THE LINE EXCEPT FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! THIS NIGHT WILL DEFINE HOW 2026 STARTS!
Gavin Kirkland: IT SURE WILL! AND I AM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THE RAZOR WIRE DEATHMATCH! SEE IF SILAS WORLD IMPLODES, AND WHAT SURPRISES WE ARE WE GOING TO SEE ESPECIALLY THE NEW BREED AND SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Persephone: AND WHO WILL SURVIVE THE CHAMBERS!? WELL AT LEAST IT ISN’T GOING TO START ON A BORING NOTE AS THE CHAMBER IS BEING LOWERED RIGHT NOW FOR OUR OPENING MATCH! SO, LET’S SEE SOME BLOOD ON THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
(Road To Redemption transitions from the commentary desk as the first match graphic is seen flashing across the screen, causing the crowd to absolutely erupt in response.)

(The camera then transitions over to the ring as a shot of the Extreme Elimination Chamber structure, for the first time this weekend, is seen lowering down over the ring. As this happens, Bella Braxton is seen standing by, microphone in hand, as she begins to speak.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER, FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Crowd: sLIDINLASNDNASDKDIAIPDNAPDONAPSKNDLASKNDLANSDLKNDSALNKDL
(‘Just A Phase’ by Incubus is heard playing through the speakers of the arena, as the crowd erupts in response. The camera goes over to the stage as Milli Banks is seen making her way out from the backstage area. No special theatrics, no nothing, she is completely determined to make a statement as she grips her weapon in her hand, taking a brief look at it.)
(The camera focuses, and it’s revealed to be Thanatos, Milli’s signature weapon. She grips the taser gun as she begins to make a march toward the Chamber, her eyes completely focused on the structure, ignoring all the outside noise.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, the challengers… from Brooklyn, New York… weighing in at 142 pounds… ‘THE SUPERNOVA’… MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Last year, Milli Banks walked into the Extreme Elimination Chamber as the Champion. With an elaborate entrance that captivated the eye, it couldn’t be more of a contrast compared to the Milli Banks that we see right now. No games, no playing around. Just straight determination and focus as she makes her way to the ring here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: I usually like a woman who knows how to take charge, and I don’t know, maybe that taser just does it for me. Perhaps she can frisk me before she enters the Chamber pod. WAIT! MILLI! COME BACK!
Persephone: If you’re going to spend the next 10 minutes making perverted comments about everyone’s weapon, then I don’t want to be next to you right now.
(‘God Shattering Star’ by Takashi Baba begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd bursts into thunderous cheers. ARIA is then seen as she makes her way out from the backstage area, a smile on her face as she hypes up the crowd, who are very excited to see her. It doesn’t take long to see the weapon that she’s carrying in her hands.)
(A large, double-bladed war axe, one that is about half of her own size. It’s immense, large, but ARIA carries it like it’s weightless. She has her eyes set as she grips the handle with both hands, immediately beginning to make her march.)
Bella Braxton: Next… from Phoenix, Arizona… weighing in at 130 pounds… ARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at that behemoth of a weapon! I don’t know if ARIA knows this or not, but I like my girls freaky like that. 👅
Persephone: Please get me out of this commentary desk. PLEASE!
Stew-O: ARIA went through an absolute war with Saori Aizen to get there, and although her issues with Saori, as shown last week, aren’t completely over yet, what doesn’t change is the fact that right here, right now, she has the opportunity of a lifetime to win the Universal Women’s Championship. And judging by the look on her face and that weapon in her hand, she’s going to stop at nothing to get to where she needs to be.
(‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE then begins to follow that up as the camera goes over to show one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Raven Roberts, as she’s seen making her way out from the backstage area. She has a serious, determined expression on her face as her eyes focus directly on the ring. She brings her weapon to the forefront, allowing the camera to get a good look at it.)
(It’s a spiked chain whip with hooked barbs at the end, a full-size battle baton for the handle. Dangerous no matter where you touch it apart from the handle, she looks at it with cruel satisfaction on her face as she begins to make her march down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Next… residing in Atlanta, Georgia… weighing in at 122 pounds… ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’… RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now I think I like this weapon a little better! I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking that Raven Roberts could try to use that weapon on me-
Stew-O: ONE-HALF of the Unified Tag Team Champions stepping into the Chamber this week. There have been a lot of questions about whether or not Fire & Ice has been juggling too much, with this and Rex McAllister entering the World Heavyweight Championship Chamber, but judging by everything they’ve gone through, they seem like they are more than capable of the challenge at hand. No question about that.
Persephone: I hope this bitch gets eliminated first. I hate her and that stupid husband, I forgot the name of. Maybe we can finally kill her.
(‘Seccharine’ by Violent Vira begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd comes alive for Holly Arrow as she’s seen making her way out from the backstage area. She has her eyes poised on the ring, but in her hands is a weapon that is large enough to do a lot of damage to whoever it happens to hit.)
(A lighttube fan, a large one at that, as she holds the handle of it, a smirk coming on her face as she then begins to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Next… residing in Liverpool, England… weighing in at 149 pounds… ‘THE LODESTAR’… HOLLY ARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The main topic of discussion is whether or not Holly Arrow is prepared for an opportunity like this in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. She has been very candid on that; it’s been a long and personal journey for her, but she knows that in a situation like this, she does not have a choice at all. She has to be ready for whatever comes her way, and that’s something that she’s long accepted.
Persephone: I hate losers like this. It’s like they’re lobotomized or something into having a kink for this type of failure.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t have any comments about that weapon; it just looks like it could really hurt. But you know who could hurt me, and I would happily let her, that muscular beauty, Holly Arrow. 😍 Yeah, I said it!
Persephone: Stop stop STOP STOP STOP!!!
(‘DEATH OF A MAGICAL GIRL’ by sm3rki then begins to play up as the crowd boos for KASAI, who is seen making her way out. She has a sinister look on her face as she begins to manically laugh. She takes a circle around the stage as she embraces the atmosphere of the moment, before taking her weapon into her hands, which comes as a surprise to no one.)
(Her signature Queenslayer V2. She grips the kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire as she takes a test swing, before then making a beeline down the ramp and toward the Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
Bella Braxton: Next… Amani, Kagoshima, Japan… weighing in at 145 pounds… ‘THE MATRIARCH’… KASAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: KASAI inserted herself into the Extreme Elimination Chamber late, and since then she’s made it known that she’s not going to be a pushover, she’s the Matriarch of the Urai family, and that means power, dominance, something that she’s going to take by winning the Universal Women’s Championship here tonight in New Orleans.
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI is certainly showing that she’s not fucking around right now. What’s with all these women and electricity? If that’s a new kink, then please, count me in! After she fries everyone in that Chamber, I will be more than happy to volunteer next. Though I don’t know what that would mean for little Gavin if KASAI didn’t win the title tonight.
Persephone: And she’s not going to win the fucking title, she sucks. But I guess if she wants to continuously set herself up for failure, then she can go ahead and try. Maybe she can pull off the impossible! Do what nobody expected her to do!
(And last, but certainly not least, ‘The Emptiness Machine’ by Linkin Park begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd comes alive. The camera goes over to show Ms. Extreme as she makes her way out to the stage, Universal Women’s Championship over her shoulder as she looks ready for battle. She brings her weapon into her hands.)
(Old reliable, the Red Lightning Bolt, surging at the ends as the Champion grips the handle, and as she takes a look at the structure with everyone inside, she immediately begins to march down the ramp and toward the Extreme Elimination Chamber.)
Bella Braxton: Lastly… from Glacier County, Montana… weighing in at 140 pounds… ‘THE PHOENIX QUEEN’… MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And I felt like it was only fitting that Ms. Extreme started off the Extreme Elimination Chamber. The Champion, the target, is willing to take on anyone who stands in her way in order to get to where she needs to be. The Extreme Elimination Chamber is always the biggest test for a Champion and their title reign, and I guess we’re just going to have to see if Ms. Extreme has what it takes to go the distance and walk into the new year as the Universal Women’s Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: The redhead with a bone to pick and a point to prove! And that lightning bolt, mm, she could strike me down any day. Oh man, this match is going to be great! I believe that there are no weak links; all of them would be more than happy to take their anger out on me once this match is done!
Persephone: Lord help us all.
(Ms. Extreme enters the Chamber and immediately heads into the ring, standing in her corner and eyeing KASAI, who is staring a hole into her as well. The crowd goes silent as everyone waits in anticipation for what is bound to be a brutal match. And before long…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and Road To Redemption has officially begun! Ms. Extreme defends her Universal Women’s Championship in the dreaded Extreme Elimination Chamber, and the odds absolutely seem stacked against her right now!
Gavin Kirkland: But that doesn’t seem like anything new for this fiery redhead! She’s ready to run the gauntlet, and it starts at KASAI! And it seems as though these two know each other all too well already! Remember what happened at The Last Stand?!
Persephone: IT SEEMS LIKE KASAI DOES! SHE JUST DROPPED THE QUEENSLAYER DOWN TO THE GROUND! SHE DROPPED HER WEAPON AND IMMEDIATELY LUNGED AT MS. EXTREME WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS! WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme expected a swing, but KASAI met her in the middle and caught her off guard as the Red Lightning Bolt goes flying out of Ms. Extreme’s hands as well! KASAI is absolutely rabid with repeated strikes to the face, overwhelming the Champion and trying to get the better of her! If she can eliminate the Champion early, then the door is wide open for her to win this matchup!
Gavin Kirkland: But don’t consider that so easy! Ms. Extreme is fighting back! She’s beginning to rise back up to her feet as she blocks some of what KASAI is throwing her way and begins to send some strikes of her own! KASAI slowly begins to back up against the ropes, and this allows Ms. Extreme to grab her by the wrist and send her toward the opposite side of the ring, TRYING FOR A CALF KICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE- But KASAI manages to grab a hold of the ropes just in time and stops herself!
Persephone: Ms. Extreme lands on her stomach and rises to her feet, and her ass makes a break for it as she runs forward, GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE- But KASAI moves out of the way and sends Ms. Extreme’s dumbass through the middle rope and out of the ring!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme stumbles to the outside of the ring and onto the steel floor of the Chamber, and this gives KASAI the chance to run to the ropes and back as she sets herself up, FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TRYING TO TAKE MS. EXTREME DOWN WITH A TOPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO CATCH KASAI IN HER ARMS! To be carried by a muscular woman is a personal fantasy of mine, but KASAI gets to live my dreams before I do as Ms. Extreme positions herself-
Persephone: AS SHE LIFTS KASAI UP AND SLAMS HER INTO THE CHAINLINK OF THE CHAMBER! KASAI BOUNCES OFF, AND THAT HAD TO HURT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER! NOW WE’RE TALKING! MORE VIOLENCE!
Stew-O: KASAI is clutching her spine in pain as she immediately begins to crawl away. She slowly rolls herself back into the ring as she realizes things have gone terribly wrong for her, but Ms. Extreme turns around and has her eyes completely set on her as the action returns to the ring. KASAI is already trying to crawl toward The Queenslayer, but it seems like Ms. Extreme has gotten her hands on the Red Lightning Bolt as she makes her way toward KASAI!
Gavin Kirkland: DRIVING IT RIGHT AGAINST HER SPINE! A SURGE OF ELECTRICITY RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BODY OF THE MATRIARCH AS SHE WRITHES IN PAIN!
Persephone: AND NOW MS. EXTREME IS BEGINNING TO BEAT HER ASS WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT! KASAI IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE, BUT SHE IS GETTING STRAIGHT BELT RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: AND MS. EXTREME IS TRYING TO TAKE THE LIGHTNING BOLT AND PRESS IT AGAINST KASAI’S THROAT- BUT KASAI MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE QUEENSLAYER FROM THE GROUND AND TAKE A WILD SWING! SHE FORCES MS. EXTREME TO BACK UP, AS THIS GIVES HER A CHANCE TO MAKE HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET AND RECOVER!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW KASAI IS SWINGING THAT KENDO STICK AGAIN- BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO DODGE IT JUST IN TIME! THE MATRIARCH IS CONTINUING TO SWING WILDLY! TRYING HER BEST TO CLIP MS. EXTREME EVEN ONCE!
Persephone: MS. EXTREME FINALLY MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE QUEENSLAYER TO YANK IT AWAY FROM HER-
(BZZZZZZZZZT!)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! THE QUEENSLAYER JUST ELECTROCUTED MS. EXTREME AS SHE SHOOTS BACKWARD!
(KASAI clutches The Queenslayer with a rabid smirk on her face as electricity begins to surge out of it as she grips it in her hand. She gives a hysterical laugh while Ms. Extreme tries to shake herself off, quickly rushing forward.)
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMS LIKE KASAI HAS ADDED MODIFICATIONS TO HER SIGNATURE WEAPON, AND NOW SHE LOOKS TO PUT IT TO GOOD USE! SHE TAKES THE QUEENSLAYER AND SLAMS IT AGAINST THE ABDOMEN OF MS. EXTREME TO SEND HER DOWN TO HER KNEES! THE COMBINATION OF BARBED WIRE AND ELECTRICITY HAS TO MAKE EVERY ATTACK LETHAL FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Persephone: AND KASAI IS CONTINUING TO BATTER MS. EXTREME WITH THAT WEAPON! SHE RUBS HER TWO BRAINCELLS TOGETHER TO REALIZE THE MORE OFFENSE SHE GENERATES, THE MORE OF A CHANCE THAT SHE HAS TO WIN THIS MATCH! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF THE HEAD OF MS. EXTREME, AND NOW SHE’S TRYING TO CHOKE HER OUT!
Stew-O: BUT THE CHAMPION MANAGES TO HOLD ON! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF THE FOREARM JUST IN TIME AS SHE MANAGES TO SHOW SOME PUSHBACK! KASAI IS TRYING TO BRUTEFORCE HERSELF, BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T LETTING THAT HAPPEN JUST YET!
Gavin Kirkland: AS MS. EXTREME REARS HER HEAD BACK AND NAILS KASAI WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! KASAI staggers as she tries to try and run herself forward-
Persephone: BUT MS. EXTREME JUST KICKED HER RIGHT IN THE GUT AND SPUN HER AROUND FOR A TWIST OF FATE! SHE TAKES KASAI DOWN TO THE GROUND, BUT THIS IDIOT IS TOO EXHAUSTED TO TRY AND GO FOR THE PIN!
Stew-O: Because all she needed was to give herself some breathing room! And that’s something she’s going to need quickly because the count has begun! And now we’re going to have our next participant entering the Extreme Elimination Chamber!

(BUZZ!!!)
(The lights dim as a spotlight begins to rotate around the four Chamber pods. Each Elitist is looking eager to get themselves into the match and join the action, but only one is going to be able to as it finally lands on one pod.)
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA IS HERE! MY SEXY LADY OF FLIGHT HAS ARRIVED!
Persephone: AND SHE HAS THAT BEHEMOTH OF A WAR AXE IN HER HAND! YES! AIM FOR THE NECK! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Stew-O: ARIA IMMEDIATELY ENTERS INTO THE RING AS KASAI MAKES HER WAY UP TO HER FEET-
(SLICE!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! SHE AIMS RIGHT FOR THE ABDOMEN AS SHE USES THE AXE TO SLICE KASAI’S SKIN!
Persephone: KASAI DROPS BACK DOWN AS BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO RUSH OUT! AND ARIA KNOWS THAT THIS IS WHAT SHE’S GOING TO HAVE TO DO IF SHE WANTS TO WIN THIS MATCH! THANKFULLY NONE OF THAT NICE SHIT!
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME IS BEGINNING TO MAKE HER WAY UP AS ARIA TRIES TO USE THE AXE AGAIN- BUT THE PHOENIX QUEEN MANAGES TO GRAB THE FLAT END JUST IN TIME AS SHE PRESSES HER PALMS TO TRY AND RIP IT OUT OF ARIA’S GRASP! ARIA IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK, BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO USE THE BRUNT END OF THE AXE TO DRIVE IT AGAINST HER CHEST TO SEND HER BACKWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME KEEPS A HOLD OF THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT AS SHE TAKES A SWING AIMED RIGHT AT THE HEAD OF ARIA!
Persephone: BUT ARIA USES THE AXE TO KNOCK THE LIGHTNING BOLT AWAY AS SHE USES THE MOMENTUM TO GO UNDER!
Stew-O: SLICING THE RIGHT KNEECAP OF MS. EXTREME IN THE PROCESS! THE CHAMPION FALLS TO THE GROUND LIKE A WOUNDED ANIMAL AS SHE CLUTCHES HER KNEE! AND NOW IT’S ARIA WHO’S MANAGED TO COMPLETELY TURN THE TIDES WITH HER WEAPON OF CHOICE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME DISTRACTED HER LONG ENOUGH FOR KASAI TO SWOOP IN AND CONNECT WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND NOW KASAI QUICKLY SNATCHES THE WAR AXE OUT OF HER HANDS AND IS BEGINNING TO ESTABLISH A BASE-
Persephone: AS SHE BEGINS TO CHOKE ARIA OUT WITH THE HANDLE OF THE AXE! AW, NO FUN! DECAPITATE HER ASS ALREADY! ARIA IS STRUGGLING TO BREATHE AS KASAI IS TRYING TO SLIDE THE HANDLE UP, LOOKING TO PRESS THE BLADE OF THE AXE FIRMLY AGAINST THE SIDE OF HER THROAT! AND THAT IS NOT A POSITION THAT ARIA WANTS TO BE IN AT THE MOMENT!
Stew-O: ARIA ISN’T BEING SUBDUED AS SHE SLOWLY BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET! SHE BEGINS TO THRASH VIOLENTLY, DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN RIGHT NOW TO ESCAPE OUT OF THIS, BUT KASAI IS ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS! SHE’S NOT JUST TRYING TO LEVEL ARIA, SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE HER OUT COMPLETELY!
(THWACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ARIA JUST TOOK KASAI’S QUEENSLAYER AND BROUGHT IT BACKWARD AGAINST THE FACE OF KASAI! THAT STAGGERS HER FOR THE MOMENT, BUT SOMEHOW THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION MANAGES TO KEEP HER GRIP ON ARIA AS SHE TRIES TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! BUT ARIA IS CONTINUING TO WHACK HER REPEATEDLY WITH THE ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE KENDO STICK AS KASAI’S GRIP SLOWLY BEGINS TO WEAKEN! AND THIS GIVES ARIA A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY!
Persephone: AS ARIA RUNS FORWARD AND PUSHES HERSELF OFF THE ROPES TO TAKE KASAI DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SLICED BREAD #2! No fun, but whatever. ARIA makes her way back up to her feet as she stabilizes herself, running to the ropes!
Stew-O: AS SHE TAKES KASAI DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH THE ‘PHOENIX INJECTION’! THE HANDSPRING CUTTER!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KASAI GAINS ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO CATCH HER WITH A ‘SUCCESSION’ TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE SHE CAN CONNECT WITH THAT! THE KINSHASA CONNECTS AND IMMEDIATELY DROPS ARIA DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND NOW IT’S KASAI QUICKLY ROLLING HER OVER AND HOOKING THE LEG AS SHE GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: BUT ARIA MANAGES TO KICK OUT! It’s too early in this match to be able to eliminate any of these competitors just yet, but considering the route that they’re on right now, we might be dangerously close to that point!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme is favoring that right knee is beginning to rise back up to her feet as she eyes KASAI, who is doing the same. KASAI is quick to rush forward as she takes her Queenslayer and tries to swing at her- BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! SHE QUICKLY WRAPS HERSELF AROUND AND LOCKS IN A SLEEPER HOLD! KASAI TRIES TO TAKE HER WEAPON AND ATTACK HER SIMILAR TO HOW ARIA DID!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE CHAMPION MANAGES TO GET A FIRM GRIP ON HER RED LIGHTNING BOLT AND PRESS IT AGAINST THE THROAT OF KASAI! SPARKS ARE FLYING AS KASAI IS WAVING HER ARMS AROUND, PROBABLY IN AN EXCRUCIATING AMOUNT OF PAIN RIGHT NOW AS MS. EXTREME IS TRYING TO SUBDUE HER! BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S ALSO LOOKING TO FOLLOW UP!
Persephone: AS MS. EXTREME PRESSES HER KNEES AGAINST THE BACK OF KASAI AND FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A BACKSTABBER! SHE THEN ROLLS THROUGH! SHE’S TRYING TO LOCK IN A CROSSFACE USING THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT!
Stew-O: BUT KASAI MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF TO HER SIDE AND PIN MS. EXTREME’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK OUT! BOTH OF THEM MAKE THEIR WAY UP TO THEIR FEET!
Persephone: BUT MS. EXTREME GETS THE FIRST SHOT IN AS SHE USES KASAI’S OWN QUEENSLAYER TO SWING AT HER HEAD AND COMPLETELY WIPE HER OUT! MS. EXTREME DROPS THE WEAPON DOWN TO THE GROUND AND STAGGERS BACKWARD TOWARD ONE OF THE CORNERS!
Stew-O: The Champion has been through the wringer, but it’s only just begun, as our countdown has once again begun! Who is going to be the next person to join the fray in this match?!

(1…)
(BUZZ!!!)
(The lights begin to dim as the spotlight begins to rotate around the remaining three Chamber pods. KASAI and ARIA are beginning to slowly come to their senses while Ms. Extreme follows the spotlight around rapidly, trying to see who it’s going to be. Ultimately, it lands on someone.)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! I CHANGED IT! MILLI BANKS HAS ENTERED THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER WITH THANATOS IN HAND!
Persephone: If only that were a gun. A girl can dream-
(BZZZZZZZZZT!)
Stew-O: AND BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN ENTER THE RING, SHE AIMS THE TASER GUN RIGHT AT THE SPINE OF MS. EXTREME AND FIRES, SUBDUING HER AS SHE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND! WRITHING IN PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI RELOADS THE CARTRIDGE AS MS. EXTREME IS VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE GROUND, TRYING TO RIP THE PRONGS OFF OF HER! BUT AS MILLI REVELS IN THAT, SHE DOESN’T NOTICE ARIA RUSH IN AS SHE TAKES HER WAR AXE AND TRIES TO SWING IT DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD OF MILLI-
Persephone: BUT ARIA’S UPPER BODY STRENGTH IS LACKING AS IT’S SLOW ENOUGH FOR MILLI TO BE ABLE TO DUCK UNDER AND CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST DIRECTLY TO THE ABDOMEN TO FORCE ARIA BACKWARD! ARIA TRIES TO RECOVER, BUT MILLI HAS ALREADY SPRUNG OFF THE ROPES AS SHE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK DIRECTLY TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: Milli rises to her feet, AND KASAI IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO ATTACK HER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD- BUT MILLI MANAGES TO AVOID IT JUST IN TIME! SHE TAKES THANATOS AND POINTS IT AT KASAI- BUT KASAI MANAGES TO SWING HER LEG BACK AROUND AND KNOCK IT OUT OF HER HANDS BEFORE SHE CAN!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli staggers back as she tries to recover, BUT KASAI IMMEDIATELY LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND GOES FOR A SUPERKICK- But Milli manages to move out of the way of that one just in time! She grabs hold of her, unwinding her into the ripcord! CONNECTING WITH THE SLAP TO THE FACE! KASAI staggers back, AND THIS GIVES MILLI THE CHANCE TO LEAP THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Persephone: KASAI turns around, and this gives Milli the chance to take advantage, AS SHE LEAPS ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND GOES FOR A POISONRANA! ATTEMPTING ‘CROSSFADED’ TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: BUT KASAI MANAGES TO DUCK HER HEAD AS SHE PICKS THE ANKLE OF MILLI AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND IMMEDIATELY SHE LOCKS IN A KNEEBAR WHICH LEAVES MILLI CRYING IN PAIN! WE KNOW THE KNEE-BRACED LEG IS A TARGET FOR ANYONE, AND KASAI IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT RIGHT HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: While Ms. Extreme and ARIA have found each other on the opposite side of the ring and are beginning to trade blows, Milli is clawing at the canvas and trying to think of anything she can do to get herself out of the situation that she finds herself in currently! KASAI has the hold locked in tight and has no intentions of letting go, and Milli is beginning to crawl toward the ropes, using her nails to scratch and claw to begin to slowly drag herself! Hoping to somehow find some reprieve there!
Persephone: Is she fucking stupid?! There aren’t any rope breaks in this matchup! What good is that going to do her?! Just tap the fuck out already!
Stew-O: BUT SHE’S NOT GOING FOR THE ROPES! SHE’S GOING FOR THANATOS AS SHE MANAGES TO GRAB THAT IN HER HANDS-
(BZZZZZZZZZT!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHOOT IT RIGHT INTO THE LEG OF KASAI! KASAI IMMEDIATELY LETS GO AS SHE SQUIRMS AROUND IN PAIN, CRYING OUT IN AGONY, AND MILLI IS IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO CRAWL AWAY! SHE CLUTCHES ONTO THE ROPES AS SHE REALIZES HOW NARROW A SITUATION THAT WAS FOR HER!
Persephone: But we’re moving on to the two people actually fighting at the moment. ARIA is beginning to make her way up to the top rope as she positions herself- BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING, MS. EXTREME RUNS FORWARD AND SHOVES HER IN THE CHEST, AS THE BACK OF ARIA’S HEAD MEETS THE CHAMBER POD THAT HOUSES RAVEN ROBERTS IN IT!
Stew-O: ARIA clutches herself in pain as this gives Ms. Extreme the chance to begin to make her way up to the top rope, and immediately she begins to unload on her with repeated strikes to the face! ARIA is doing whatever she can right now to block herself, but at the moment, it seems like Ms. Extreme is having her way with her! ARIA tries to reel her arm back with a punch- But Ms. Extreme manages to block it, nailing her with one of her own! And now Ms. Extreme grabs a hold of her and sets her up!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE LIFTS HER OVER HER HEAD AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN AVALANCHE EXPLODER SUPLEX! BUT WAIT! MS. EXTREME KEEPS HER LEGS HOOKED ON THE TOP ROPE AS SHE PULLS HERSELF BACK UP ONTO THE TURNBUCKLES! SHE’S IN POSITION!
Persephone: AS SHE LEAPS OFF AND MEETS ARIA WITH THE ‘GLASS CEILING’! TOP ROPE STUNNER TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: BUT ARIA MANGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! MS. EXTREME LANDS ON HER TAILBONE AS SHE TRIES TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO HER FEET-
Gavin Kirkland: ‘J4A’!
Persephone: BUSAIKU KNEE CONNECTS AND THAT JUST KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT OF MS. EXTREME! ARIA IS QUICK TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR THE PIN! PLEASE BE AN ELIMINATION! PLEASE BE AN ELIMINATION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
ARIA: (Off-Mic) AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE WAR AXE AND DRIVE IT DIRECTLY INTO THE SHOULDER OF ARIA!
Persephone: YES! LOOK HOW DEEP IT’S LODGED IN THERE! LOOK HOW MUCH AGONIZING PAIN SHE’S IN RIGHT NOW!
(Ms. Extreme manages to crawl away as she lets go of the axe. ARIA is bleeding profusely from her left shoulder as she manages to dislodge it completely. It’s not too deep of a cut, hopefully didn’t sever any important arteries, but she’s in an excruciating amount of pain thanks to her own weapon, and unfortunately, it doesn’t help that the count has begun for another participant.)

(BUZZ!!!)
(The lights dim, and the spotlight begins to rotate between the remaining two Chamber pods left. As each of the Elitists even semi-conscious watch vigilantly, it’s not long before it lands on one, causing the crowd to erupt.)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! ONE-HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! RAVEN ROBERTS HAS ENTERED THE FRAY!
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE HAS THE HOOKED CHAIN WHIP IN HAND! SHE’S NOT FUCKING AROUND! RAVEN ENTERS THE RING WHILE MS. EXTREME CHARGES AT HER- BUT RAVEN IMMEDIATELY TAKES A SWING WITH THE WHIP!
Persephone: BUT MS. EXTREME MOVES THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE SHE COOKS HERSELF! RAVEN TRIES TO COME AT HER, BUT MILLI IMMEDIATELY LATCHES ONTO HER BACK LIKE A COCKROACH AND TRIES TO LOCK IN A SLEEPER HOLD! RAVEN IS SWINGING HER HANDS AROUND, TRYING TO GET OUT!
Stew-O: AND SHE MANAGES TO DO SO AS SHE GRABS MILLI BY THE HEAD AND YANKS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Milli grabs a hold of her back in pain as she makes her way back up to her feet, trying to get herself away before it’s too late- OH MY GOD!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN JUST SLAMMED THOSE HOOKED BARBS DIRECTLY INTO THE BACK OF MILLI BANKS!
Persephone: MILLI IS SCREAMING AS BLOOD POURS DOWN HER BACK, AND NOW RAVEN IS TAKING IT AND TRYING TO WRAP THE WHIP AROUND HER NECK! TRYING TO DIG THE SPIKED ENDS OF IT DIRECTLY INTO HER THROAT!
Stew-O: BUT MILLI JUST TOOK MS. EXTREME’S RED LIGHTNING BOLT AND DROVE IT DIRECTLY INTO THE ABDOMEN OF RAVEN! RAVEN STAGGERS BACK AS MILLI QUICKLY RETREATS AWAY TO LICK HER WOUNDS! RAVEN IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO CHARGE AT HER-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KASAI JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND LEAPED THROUGH THE AIR! ‘ABDITION’ CONNECTS! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER TO DROP RAVEN ROBERTS DIRECTLY DOWN TO THE MAT! AND KASAI ISN’T DONE!
Persephone: SHE’S MAKING HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND TRYING TO GET RAVEN ROBERTS THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN FULLY ENTER THE MATCH! KASAI MAKES HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND SHE IMMEDIATELY POSITIONS HERSELF! RAVEN HASN’T EVEN MOVED YET!
Stew-O: KASAI LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR ‘KITSUNE’S BLESSING V2’! THE MOONSTOMP DIRECTLY TO THE CHEST OF RAVEN ROBERTS!
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RAVEN USES THE SPIKED WHIP TO STRIKE KASAI OUT OF THE AIR! SHE CAUGHT HER RIGHT IN THE STOMACH, AND KASAI IS WRITHING AROUND IN PAIN ON THE CANVAS, BLEEDING PROFUSELY WHERE IT STRUCK!
Persephone: OUCH! THAT HAD TO FUCKING HURT! KASAI IS STILL TRYING TO GET UP TO HER FEET THOUGH, SHE HAS TO BE STUPID-
Stew-O: BANG! ‘TALON’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! RAVEN CATCHES HER WITH THE CLAYMORE THAT TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND IMMEDIATELY SHE ROLLS OVER KASAI AND HOOKS THE LEG! TRYING TO GET THE FIRST ELIMINATION OF THIS MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KASAI MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! SHE MANAGES TO ESCAPE JUST IN TIME, AND RAVEN NEARLY STARTED HER INCLUSION IN THIS MATCH WITH A BANG!
Persephone: On the otherhand, it seems like ARIA, with one shoulder hanging off the bone, is beginning to make her way back up. I would’ve just fucking quit. I can’t lie to you.
Stew-O: But she’s gripping that war axe in her hand, AS SHE TAKES IT AND SWINGS DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD OF RAVEN!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO RECOVER JUST IN TIME AND TAKE THAT CHAIN WHIP TO STRIKE THE AXE AWAY! ARIA’S ARM FLAILS AS SHE TRIES TO RECOVER-
Persephone: OH MY FUCKING GOD! RAVEN STRIKES THAT CHAIN WHIP DOWN ONTO THE OPEN WOUND ON ARIA’S SHOULDER! JUST AMPUTATE THAT BITCH RIGHT OFF ALREADY!
Stew-O: RAVEN DROPS THE WHIP AND LETS IT HANG OFF THE SHOULDER OF ARIA AS SHE CRIES IN PAIN, TRYING TO RIP IT OUT, BUT RAVEN HAS ALREADY SHOT OFF THE ROPES AND TOWARD HER!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE GOES FOR ANOTHER ‘TALON’! CLAYMORE-
Persephone: HOW THE FUCK?! ARIA MANAGES TO FIND IT WITHIN HER TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH THE ‘PHOENIX CUTTER’ TO PLANT RAVEN DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE CUTTER CONNECTS!
(As both ARIA and Raven are laid out, along with a majority of the people already in the match, the count starts. And as it does, Holly Arrow’s eyes in the Chamber pod light up.)

(BUZZ!!!)
(No time is wasted; the spotlight immediately shines down as the pod door slides open.)
Stew-O: THE LAST PERSON IN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER IS OUT AS HOLLY ARROW DROPS HER LIGHTTUBE FAN DOWN TO THE GROUND AND IMMEDIATELY MAKES A BEELINE TOWARD A CERTAIN SOMEONE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HER AND MILLI BANKS ARE WASTING NO TIME AT ALL BEGINNING TO TRADE STRIKES BACK AND FORTH! THE HATRED AND THE ANIMOSITY, ALL OF THAT IS BEGINNING TO BOIL DOWN TO THIS!
Persephone: HOLLY IS BEGINNING TO GET THE BETTER OF A WEAKENED MILLI, BUT THE FORMER WOMEN’S CHAMPION ISN’T BACKING DOWN WHATSOEVER! SHE IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND DRIVES A KNEE DIRECTLY INTO HER ABDOMEN! SHE THEN GRABS A HOLD OF HOLLY AND TURNS HER AROUND!
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: SENDING HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE CHAMBER POD! THE CHAMBER CRACKS AS HOLLY STAGGERS HERSELF FORWARD! SHE TRIES TO KEEP HERSELF UP, BUT MILLI ALREADY HAS HER EYE ON HER AS SHE CHARGES STRAIGHT FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI TRIES TO GRAB A HOLD OF HER AND SPEAR HOLLY DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD!
(# CRASH!)
(…)
Persephone: HAH! BUT HOLLY MOVES THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS MILLI FLYING THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD! GLASS FLIES EVERYWHERE, AND HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO GET HERSELF THE HELL OUT OF THERE JUST IN TIME!
Stew-O: HOLLY ISN’T DONE! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF MILLI AND YANKS HER OUT OF THE CHAMBER POD, AS SHE GRABS A HOLD OF THAT LIGHTTUBE FAN AND BRINGS IT OVER HER HEAD!
(# CRASH!)
Gavin Kirkland: STRIKING IT DIRECTLY DOWN ONTO THE HEAD OF MILLI BANKS AND COMPLETELY WIPING HER OUT! HOLLY MAKES HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE HYPES UP THE CROWD, AS THEY COME ALIVE FOR THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! AND SHE IS LOOKING TO SINK HER TEETH BACK IN-
Persephone: BUT BEFORE SHE CAN FINISH THE JOB, KASAI LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES HOLLY DOWN TO THE GROUND! SHE BEGINS TO GRAB HER BY THE HEAD AND REPEATEDLY BOUNCE IT OFF THE CHAMBER FLOOR!
Stew-O: KASAI TRIES TO TAKE THE REMNANTS OF THE LIGHTTUBE FAN AND DRIVE IT DIRECTLY INTO THE FACE OF HOLLY ARROW, BUT HOLLY IMMEDIATELY MANAGES TO FLIP HERSELF OVER AS SHE TAKES CONTROL!
KASAI: (Off-Mic) FFFFFUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! HOLLY JUST TOOK THE END OF THE LIGHT TUBE AND STABBED IT DIRECTLY INTO THE EYE OF KASAI!
Persephone: KASAI IS BLEEDING PROFUSELY AS SHE ROLLS AROUND IN PAIN, CLUTCHING HER FACE! AND HOLLY IS MAKING HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE ENTERS BACK INTO THE RING, THE BLOOD OF HER ENEMIES COVERING HER!
Stew-O: BUT RAVEN ROBERTS IMMEDIATELY MEETS HER! SHE HAS A HOLD OF HER CHAIN WHIP AS SHE TRIES TO STRIKE HOLLY DIRECTLY IN THE MIDSECTION!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HOLLY JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF THE HOOKED BARBS AT THE END AND DUG IT INTO HER HANDS! THE PALM OF HER HANDS STARTS BLEEDING PROFUSELY, BUT SHE TANKS IT AS SHE PULLS RAVEN IN!
Persephone: AS SHE PULLS HER IN, POPS RAVEN UP AND NAILS HER WITH ‘VICTORIA’ RIGHT TO THE FACE! POP-UP KNEE STRIKE AS SHE RIPS THE CHAIN WHIP OUT OF HER PALMS! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER!
Stew-O: BUT ARIA JUST CAME IN AND TOOK HER WAR AXE! SLICING HOLLY ACROSS THE BACK! AND THIS IS WHAT FINALLY DROPS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! HOLLY IS WRITHING IN PAIN, AND THIS GIVES ARIA THE CHANCE AS SHE RIPS THE AXE OUT OF HER BACK AND TOSSES IT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: HOLLY CLUTCHES HER BACK IN PAIN AS A DEEP GASH IS CREATED! SHE SLOWLY TRIES TO MAKE HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET, BUT ARIA ALREADY HAS HER EYES SET AS SHE FALLS INTO THE CORNER, TRYING TO RECOVER AS SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK!
Persephone: ‘J4A’! A SECOND BUSAIKU KNEE CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THE FACE IN THIS MATCH, AND HOLLY ARROW IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND! ARIA IS QUICK TO ROLL HOLLY OVER AND HOOK THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(…)
Stew-O: BUT HOLLY MANAGES TO MUSCLE HERSELF OUT! SHE SHOOTS HER SHOULDER UP AS ARIA NARROWLY FINISHED GOT AN ELIMINATION! BUT THAT WASN’T ENOUGH! ARIA MAKES HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET-
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! MS. EXTREME JUST ROLLED HERSELF THROUGH AND GRABBED A HOLD OF THAT INJURED ARM OF ARIA! SHE JUST LOCKED IN ‘RED HANDED’! SEATED FUJIWARA ARMBAR AS BLOOD IS POURING OUT OF ARIA’S SHOULDER! SHE’S IMMEDIATELY SCREAMING IN PAIN!
Persephone: IF SHE DOESN’T WANT HER ARM TORN OUT OF HER FUCKING BODY, IT WOULD BE IN HER BEST INTEREST TO TAP OUT NOW AND SAVE HERSELF THE TROUBLE LATER! BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IN THIS MATCH IS A SICK FUCK, DOESN’T SEEM LIKE ANYONE REALLY WANTS TO DO THAT!
Stew-O: ARIA LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO TAG OUT! AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE A CHOICE IF SHE WANTS TO KEEP HER IN-RING CAREER IN TACT!
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ARIA JUST TOOK MILLI’S THANATOS AND SHOT THE TASER DIRECTLY INTO THE SPINE OF MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS SHE RELEASES THE HOLD AND DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND! BUT ARIA DOESN’T SEEM TO BE DONE EITHER!
Persephone: AS SHE TAKES RAVEN’S CHAINED WHIP AND WRAPS IT AROUND HER NECK! SHE’S TRYING TO RETURN THE FAVOR AND CHOKES MS. EXTREME OUT! AND MS. EXTREME IS PRACTICALLY GARGLING BLOOD RIGHT NOW AS SHE TRIES TO REACH THE ROPES TO TRY AND GAIN SOME SORT OF LEVERAGE! MS. EXTREME IS BEGINNING TO FADE ALREADY! SO MUCH PAIN WILL DO THAT TO YOU!
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME JUST STARTED DIGGING HER NAILS INTO THE OPEN WOUND ON ARIA’S SHOULDER! AND AS MORE BLOOD BEGINS TO COME OUT, ARIA IS FORCED TO LET GO AS SHE CLUTCHES HER SHOULDER IN PAIN, QUICKLY ROLLING HERSELF AWAY!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme managed to get herself out of that situation, but now she looks to take it even further! The Champion has her eyes on the turnbuckles as she begins to make her way up to the top rope! It seems like she wants to fly!
Persephone: BUT HOLLY ARROW JUST TOOK THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT AND IS TRYING TO SWING IT AT MS. EXTREME BEFORE SHE CAN JUMP!
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS IT BY THE HANDLE AND RIPS IT AWAY FROM HOLLY! SHE STABS IT DIRECTLY INTO HER THROAT AS HOLLY FALLS BACKWARD, CONVULSING IN PAIN! BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE MS. EXTREME IS ENTIRELY SATISFIED BY THIS JUST YET!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME IS BEGINNING TO GRAB A HOLD OF THAT CHAMBER POD AND GO TO THE VERY TOP! SHE HAS HER EYES SET ON HOLLY ARROW, WHO IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO HER FEET! OH MY GOD, SHE CAN’T BE THINKING OF IT, RIGHT?!
Persephone: SHE’S ABOUT TO LEAP OFF AND HIT A ‘GLASS CEILING’ OFF OF THE CHAMBER POD! A HUGE DIVING STUNNER!
Stew-O: BUT HOLLY ARROW JUST CAME ALIVE! SHE RAN UP THE TOP ROPE AND NARROWLY CONNECTED WITH A STRIKE TO THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME! AND NOW SHE’S BEGINNING TO JOIN HER ON THE CHAMBER POD! THEY’RE WASTING ZERO TIME BEGINNING TO TRADE STRIKES BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER ALL THE WAY UP THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: A PRECARIOUS POSITION TO FIND YOURSELF IN RIGHT NOW! BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM TO BE BACKING DOWN! HOLLY GOES FOR A HEADBUTT- BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO BLOCK IT AND CONNECT WITH AN UPPERCUT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! AND NOW SHE’S BEGINNING TO SET HER UP! THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION IS LOOKING TO FINISH THE JOB RIGHT HERE!
Persephone: SHE’S TRYING TO GO FOR A ‘CODE RED’ OFF THE CHAMBER POD! SUNSET FLIP! IS SHE FUCKING INSANE?!
(…)
Stew-O: BUT HOLLY ARROW JUST MUSCLED MS. EXTREME UP INTO A BACK BODY DROP OFF OF THE CAGE-
Gavin Kirkland: AS MS. EXTREME FLIES OFF AND LANDS ON KASAI, ARIA, AND RAVEN AS THEY ALL BEGIN TO MAKE THEIR WAY UP TO THEIR FEET! OH MY GOD!
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW LEAPS OFF THE CHAMBER POD AND WIPES EVERYONE OUT WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!
Persephone: CAN THIS MUSCULAR BITCH EVEN FLY OFF THE CHAMBER POD?!
Gavin Kirkland: APPARENTLY SO! BECAUSE HOLLY ARROW JUST COMPLETELY TOOK EVERYONE OUT WITH A BIG MOVE! AND NOW SHE’S MAKING HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT THE JOB ISN’T COMPLETELY SAID AND DONE JUST YET!
Stew-O: SHE GRABS A HOLD OF MS. EXTREME AND BEGINS TO DRAG HER BACK UP! SHE’S FEEDING OFF THE ENERGY OF THIS CROWD, AND I THINK SHE’S ABOUT TO GIVE IT A SHOT! SHE’S ABOUT TO ELIMINATE THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: ‘PSIONIC CROSSBOW’!
(…)
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF HOLLY ARROW AND ROLLED HER UP FROM BEHIND!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Bella Braxton: HOLLY ARROW HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Persephone: HAHA! WHAT THE FUCK?!
(Holly sits up in complete shock as Milli immediately drags herself away, a smirk of satisfaction on her face as she clutches the bottom rope. She managed to get herself away from the carnage to keep herself free to swoop in and take advantage, and with that, she capped the first elimination in this match.)
Persephone: HOLLY ARROW IS ABOUT TO BLOW A FUCKING GASKET RIGHT NOW! BUT THE OFFICIALS ARE QUICKLY ENTERING THE CHAMBER AND GETTING HER TO BACK OFF AS THEY SEE THE ANIMOSITY, AND IT SEEMS LIKE MILLI BANKS DOESN’T CARE ALL TOO MUCH! DUST OFF THE SHOULDER FOR HER!
Stew-O: BECAUSE IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT SHE IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! WE HAVE FIVE WOMEN LEFT IN THIS CHAMBER! AND NONE OF THEM LOOKS TO WANT TO GIVE AN INCH IN THIS ONE!
Gavin Kirkland: And Milli is back up to her feet, admiring her handiwork, but it seems like she’s not going to get much time to breathe! Look who’s lurking behind her!
Persephone: A one-eyed pirate looking to kill! KASAI TRIES TO SWING THE QUEENSLAYER DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD OF MILLI!
Stew-O: BUT MILLI BEGINS TO DODGE THE WILD SHOTS, AS KASAI STRIKES THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT HER INTENDED TARGET! IT SEEMS HER HINDERED VISION IS PREVENTING HER FROM REACHING HER TARGET, AND MILLI IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS SHE IS SCRAMBLING AWAY!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S TRYING HER BEST TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION RIGHT NOW, AND THE BEST WAY THAT SHE CAN DO THAT IS LETTING KASAI DEPLETE HER GAS TANK! MEANWHILE THOUGH, ARIA HAS A HOLD OF MS. EXTREME AT THE CENTER OF THE RING AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A DESPERATE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Persephone: BAD SHOULDER AND ALL, THIS BITCH IS STILL FIGHTING! SHE MAKES HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE TRIES TO TAKE A SWING AT MS. EXTREME- BUT MS. EXTREME IMMEDIATELY BRINGS HER FOOT UP AND BOOTS THE OPEN WOUND OF ARIA, FORCING HER BACKWARD!
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME THEN IMMEDIATELY GRABS HER, AS SHE ROLLS HER UP RIGHT INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ARIA USES HER NON-INJURED SIDE TO ROLL MS. EXTREME OVER AND PIN HER TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: KICK OUT! NOW THESE IDIOTS DECIDE THEY WANT TO WRESTLE?!
Stew-O: They’re here to win, but it seems like they’re going to have to do a lot more than that to finish the job right here. ARIA makes her way up to her feet-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RAVEN ROBERTS JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND CONNECTED WITH THE ‘BEAK BREAKER’! TILT-A-WHIRL STUNNER CONNECTS! ARIA QUICKLY ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING, AND RAVEN IS BACK UP TO HER FEET, SPIKED CHAIN WHIP IN HAND!
Persephone: AS SHE QUICKLY RUSHES AT MS. EXTREME AND WHIPS HER DIRECTLY IN THE MIDSECTION, AS SHE DOUBLES HER OVER! THE CHAMPION IS HURT AS HER STOMACH HAS TO BE ACHING LIKE A BITCH RIGHT NOW! RAVEN IS NOW TURNING AROUND AS SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK!
Stew-O: AS SHE NAILS MS. EXTREME WITH THE ‘TALON’! CLAYMORE RIGHT TO THE FACE TURNS THE CHAMPION INSIDE OUT! AND NOW RAVEN IS QUICKLY ROLLING HER OVER AND HOOKING THE LEG! SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! POTENTIALLY LOOKING TO ELIMINATE THE CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK OUT! RAVEN CAN’T BELIEVE IT! SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD IT RIGHT THERE!
Persephone: BUT SHE DIDN’T! AND NOW SHE’S GOING TO HAVE TO KILL HER! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
Stew-O: Raven Roberts is certainly running through all the possibilities in her mind right now! Simply just hitting her finisher hasn’t been enough! By the look in her eyes, it seems like she needs to do more!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven has turned and begun to make her way up to the top turnbuckle. She ponders for a moment, and it seems like she’s going to go even further! She’s grabbing a hold of the top of the Chamber pod and beginning to pull herself upward! Oh my God! What in the world is she thinking right now?!
Persephone: YES! RAVEN ROBERTS LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER POD WITH A ‘RAVEN’S WINGS’! SPIRAL TAP FROM WAY UP HIGH!
(…)
(THUD!)
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! RAVEN CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE CANVAS AS THE WIND IMMEDIATELY LEAVES HER BODY! AND NOW JUST LOOK AT THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION, SHE REALIZES THAT SHE NEEDS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION AND QUICKLY!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE GRABS RAVEN AND ROLLS THROUGH ‘THE AVA LOCK’! MODIFIED STF IS LOCKED IN!
Persephone: RAVEN IS BEGINNING TO SHOW LIFE THOUGH, SHE’S ALREADY BEGINNING TO TRY AND PRY HERSELF FREE! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! WHAT THE HELL IS IT GOING TO TAKE?!
Stew-O: RAVEN IS BEGINNING TO HEADBUTT MS. EXTREME REPEATEDLY IN THE FACE! TRYING TO GET HER TO RELEASE THE HOLD! BUT WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MS. EXTREME THINKING RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! SHE JUST TOOK THE SPIKED CHAIN WHIP AND WRAPPED IT AROUND THE THROAT OF RAVEN! THOSE SPIKES ARE CRUSHING HER THROAT RIGHT NOW AS BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO POUR OUT PROFUSELY! RAVEN CAN’T EVEN BREATHE RIGHT NOW AS SHE TRIES TO STRETCH OUT, TRYING TO FIND ANYTHING THAT SHE CAN POSSIBLY USE TO ESCAPE THIS SITUATION!
Persephone: BUT I THINK SHE’S FUCKING COOKED RIGHT NOW! SHE MIGHT BE DEAD IF SHE DOESN’T JUST TAP THE FUCK OUT AND GET THIS OVER WITH ALREADY! STOP PUTTING UP A FIGHT!
(…)
Stew-O: THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE! RAVEN TAPS! RAVEN TAPS OUT! AND WE ARE NOW DOWN TO FOUR PEOPLE IN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
Bella Braxton: RAVEN ROBERTS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(Ms. Extreme immediately lets go of The Ava Lock as she collapses to the ground. Raven is gasping for air as officials are trying to help her out, carefully taking that spiked chain whip off of her neck as they begin to tend to her and lead her out of the scene. As the Champion begins to rise, fatigued and in more pain than ever, especially after starting this match, she realizes in her mind that it does not, at all, get easier for her from here.)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT AS MS. EXTREME IS RECOVERING, MILLI BANKS JUST CAME FROM BEHIND AND CONNECTED WITH A KNEE DIRECTLY TO THE BACK OF MS. EXTREME’S HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE CHAMP IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, AND NOW MILLI IS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!
Persephone: AS SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND IMMEDIATELY PLANTS HER FACE-FIRST WITH ‘NOCTURNE’! THE DOUBLE CURB STOMP CONNECTS AND COMPLETELY WIPES OUT THE CHAMPION AS MILLI QUICKLY ROLLS HER OVER AND TRIES TO GO FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK OUT! SHE HAS NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS, BUT MILLI ISN’T LETTING UP! SHE QUICKLY MOUNTS ONTO THE CHAMPION’S BACK, AND NOW SHE’S JUST RAINING DOWN FOREARM SMASHES TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! SHE’S TRYING TO BLUDGEON MS. EXTREME TO THE POINT OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS-
(SLICE!)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MILLI JUST GAVE A CRY OF PAIN! ARIA JUST ENTERED THE RING AND SLASHED DIRECTLY DOWNWARD ONTO THE FRONT OF HER BODY WITH HER WAR AXE! THE BIRD IS FIGHTING WITH ONE WING! CAW CAW!
Persephone: FUCK! NOT A DEEP GASH AT ALL! AS MILLI IS RISING TO HER FEET, BLOOD POURING AND ALL LIKE SHE’S OUT OF SOME HORROR MOVIE! AND BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING FOR ONE ANOTHER! ARIA IS TRYING TO GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HER OUT-
Stew-O: BUT MILLI DUCKS THE GOOD ARM AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE BAD ONE! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF IT BEFORE WRENCHING AT IT! ARIA SCREAMS IN PAIN, AND THIS GIVES MILLI THE PERFECT CHANCE TO TRANSITION OVER INTO A STANDING ARMBAR! MILLI IS TRYING TO TAKE OUT ANOTHER COMPETITOR IN THIS MATCH ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, AND THIS MIGHT BE THE WAY TO DO IT!
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA IS GOING TO PASS OUT FROM THE PAIN! HER ARM IS BEING TORN APART AS BLOOD IS EVERYWHERE! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THESE ELITISTS TO QUIT?!
Persephone: I DON’T FUCKING KNOW! BECAUSE ARIA JUST MANAGED TO TURN IT AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A WEAK JAWBREAKER TO FORCE MILLI AWAY AND LEAVE HER IN RETREAT!
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: BUT AS MILLI STAGGERS BACKWARD, SHE’S MET RIGHT AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FROM BEHIND COURTESY OF THE MATRIARCH! KASAI JUST CAME IN AND CONNECTED WITH THE QUEENSLAYER TO DROP HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI STAGGERS AS SHE TURNS AROUND, ONLY FOR KASAI TO TAKE THE WEAPON AND DRIVE IT DIRECTLY INTO HER ABDOMEN TO LEAVE HER COMPLETELY GASPING FOR AIR! MILLI IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AS SHE’S GASPING FOR BLOOD! AND NOW KASAI TAKES THE WEAPON AND IMMEDIATELY SWINGS FOR THE FENCES TOWARD ARIA-
Persephone: BUT ARIA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AS THE QUEENSLAYER SLAMS INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! AND NOW SHE’S IMMEDIATELY SCRAMBLING FOR THAT DEATH AXE THAT CAN APPARENTLY DECAPITATE PEOPLE!
Stew-O: ARIA IMMEDIATELY HEAVES THE AXE UPWARD AS SHE TRIES TO MEET THE HEAD OF KASAI TO STOP THE ASSAULT-
(CLANG!)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE AXE MEETS THE KENDO STICK IN MIDAIR! THE METAL CLASHES WITH THE BAMBOO, AND SPARKS ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW! KASAI IS PUSHING DOWN ON THE QUEENSLAYER WITH BOTH HANDS, AND ARIA IS STRUGGLING TO HOLD THE BLOCK WITH JUST ONE GOOD ARM! HER KNEES ARE BUCKLING, AND KASAI IS LAUGHING MANIACALLY AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE OF THIS!
Persephone: ARIA IS SMARTER THAN SHE LOOKS, THOUGH! SHE MANAGES TO SHIFT HER WEIGHT AND DROP ONTO HER BACK AS KASAI’S QUEENSLAYER IMMEDIATELY SLAMS DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! AND NOW SHE TAKES KASAI DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A QUICK DROP TOE HOLD!
Stew-O: ARIA DROPS HER AXE DOWN TO THE GROUND AS KASAI STUMBLES FORWARD, AND NOW THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IS BEGINNING TO MAKE HER WAY BACK UP, WAITING FOR KASAI TO FOLLOW!
Gavin Kirkland: ‘FANTASY LIVES ON’ CONNECTS! THE ROLLING KOPPU KICK DIRECTLY TO THE TOP OF KASAI’S HEAD TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! SHE GOES FOR THE PIN-
Persephone: BUT THIS IDIOT LANDED DIRECTLY ONTO HER SHOULDER! ARIA IS CRYING IN PAIN! SHE’S IN TOO MUCH PAIN TO GO FOR THE PIN RIGHT NOW!
(ARIA tries her best to reach out, but she can’t, as KASAI is flat on the mat, with that possibly being what could’ve put a close to all of this so far, but that was just not the case. ARIA is forced to relent as she slowly rolls herself away before it ends up costing her.)
(Meanwhile, KASAI, with her left eye completely shut, and blood completely covering her to the point where her facepaint is overlaid with a bright red crimson mask, has slowly begun to show signs of life. With The Queenslayer clutched directly to her chest, she plants her feet, a crazed look on her face.)
KASAI: (Off-Mic) Hehehehehe…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
Persephone: :comeagain:
Stew-O: KASAI has risen! She stumbles as she tries to hold herself up, and she’s keeping a hold of The Queenslayer to try and keep fighting! ARIA is out of the way, Milli is still out of it, and that leaves-
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME! OH MY GOD!
(BZZZZT!!!)
Persephone: SHE JUST LEAPED UP AND CONNECTED WITH ‘HOLY GROUND’ ONTO KASAI AND THE QUEENSLAYER!
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME CAVES KASAI’S CHEST DIRECTLY IN WITH THE ELECTRIFIED WEAPON! AND THAT JUST COMPLETELY SHORTCIRCUITED THE WEAPON, AND KASAI IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS SHE IS COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT OF IT!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME IMMEDIATELY ROLLS KASAI ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN! I DON’T SEE ANY WAY SHE GETS HERSELF OUT OF THIS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
Bella Braxton: KASAI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Persephone: One more person down! Even though I’m confused who the hell is letting this redhead bitch get all the eliminations, as long as it keeps moving, I really don’t give a fuck.
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme took advantage of the chaos ARIA created and put The Matriarch to bed, but she’s clutching her ankles in pain as she rolls away! ARIA is still out of it, and the only one that’s up right now is Milli Banks! She’s slowly beginning to recover, and the scene is beginning to set in for her! We are down to three!
(CRACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND MILLI BANKS IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF MS. EXTREME’S RED LIGHTNING BOLT FROM THE GROUND, SMACKING HER RIGHT AGAINST THE FACE WITH IT AND SENDING HER BACK DOWN AS THE CHAMPION TRIED TO RECOVER! AND NOW SHE’S MOUNTING AND BEGINNING TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES AGAINST THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME!
Persephone: I guess she really does understand how crucial this moment is, but if I were here, I would go for the one with her arm hanging off right fucking now.
Stew-O: And I think she notices that! ARIA is staggering up to her feet as she looks to fight back, but Milli is on the hunt. She grabs a hold of ARIA’s war axe, AND SHE TRIES TO TAKE A SWING DIRECTLY AT ARIA!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ARIA BARELY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT IN TIME! She staggers backward as she catches herself, BEFORE LEAPING ONTO MILLI’S SHOULDERS AND SPIKING HER DOWN HEADFIRST WITH A POISONRANA! IT CONNECTS AND COMPLETELY TAKES OUT MILLI! DON’T COUNT ARIA OUT JUST YET!
Persephone: I just think since she got this far and has been fighting through this much pain, I suppose she has a reason to keep fighting or something.
Stew-O: ARIA is slowly beginning to make her way up to her feet, realizing just how close she is right now to glory! She immediately grabs Milli and brings her back up to her feet, as she looks to set her up here! SHE’S LIFTING HER UPSIDE DOWN AND GOING FOR ‘GLITCH IN THE MATRIX’! STYLES CLASH TO PLANT MILLI BANKS DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MILLI USES HER LEG TO KICK ARIA IN THE SHOULDER, FORCING HER TO SUCCUMB AND RELEASE THE HOLD AS MILLI IS DROPPED SAFELY DOWN TO THE GROUND! ARIA falls against the ropes, trying her best to recover, BEFORE QUICKLY RUNNING AT MILLI!
Persephone: BUT MILLI JUST SHOT THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTED WITH HER OWN VERSION OF THE ‘J4A’!
Stew-O: BUSAIKU KNEE CONNECTS AND IMMEDIATELY DROPS ARIA DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND NOW MILLI IS GRABBING ARIA AND DRAGGING HER UP TO HER FEET! NO! NO WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE LEAPED THROUGH THE AIR AND TOOK ARIA DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT! NOW SHE’S TRYING TO LOCK IN ‘STRANGE JOURNEY’! THE ARM-TRAPPED KIMURA LOCK TO RIP ARIA’S SHOULDER COMPLETELY OUT! OH MY GOODNESS!
Persephone: BUT ARIA GETS THE FUCK OUT OF THERE! SHE MANAGES TO SQUIRM OUT JUST IN TIME BEFORE MILLI CAN CINCH THAT IN AS SHE KICKS HER RIGHT IN THE FACE! BOTH OF THEM MAKE THEIR WAY BACK UP TO THEIR FEET-
Stew-O: BUT MILLI JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF HER AND TOOK HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HIP TOSS! ARIA IS CRYING IN PAIN AS SHE ROLLS AWAY, AND NOW MILLI TURNS HER ATTENTION-
Gavin Kirkland: TO MS. EXTREME!
(SLICE!)
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME JUST TOOK THE WAR AXE AND AIMED IT DIRECTLY FOR THE SURGICALLY REPAIRED KNEE OF MILLI BANKS!
Persephone: MILLI IS CRYING IN AGONY RIGHT NOW, AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT WOULD HURT LIKE A BITCH TOO! SHE FALLS TO A KNEE!
Stew-O: AND THIS GIVES MS. EXTREME THE CHANCE TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH ‘HOLY GROUND’!
Gavin Kirkland: THE LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS AS MILLI IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND! MS. EXTREME IS NOW QUICKLY SCRAMBLING OVER AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG! SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: FUCK!
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DAY! SHE MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP, AND MS. EXTREME CAN’T BELIEVE SHE’S STILL GOING!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is running through her head right now what she’s going to have to do to take any of these Elitists down! All of this has come down to this very moment, with the three of them having given everything to make sure that they reach this point, but even after all of that, it seems like it wasn’t enough!
Persephone: And that’s real fucking unfortunate, but what are you gonna do about it? Ms. Extreme makes her way back up as she grabs a hold of Milli, and she’s trying to bring her up herself!
Stew-O: BUT ARIA JUST LEAPED THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTED WITH A ‘J4A’ TO THE FACE! OH MY GOD! MS. EXTREME IS DOWN! BUT ARIA ISN’T DONE EITHER! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND BRINGS HER BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE DRIVES HER DOWN WITH ‘TRUE TO THE NAME’! THE FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS! ARIA ROLLS HER OVER AND GOES FOR THE PIN! SHE’S ABOUT TO DO IT! SHE’S ABOUT TO ELIMINATE THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
(Suddenly, the crowd gasps.)
(THUD!)
Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK?!
(ARIA falls to the ground, letting go of the pin. Crying in pain as she clutches the side of her head, blood pouring profusely. As the camera focuses, someone is seen gripping the bloodied war axe in her hand, having swung for the fences directly toward the head of ARIA to break up the pin. As the camera pans up…)
Stew-O: IT’S SAORI AIZEN!
(Saori grabs a hold of the remnants of Holly Arrow’s lighttube fan, dragging it over and putting it under ARIA on the canvas. As she grabs a hold of both of her arms…)
(CRACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: SAORI STOMPS ARIA’S FACE DOWN ONTO THE SHATTERED LIGHT TUBES!
Persephone: AND SHE’S NOT DONE! SHE BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY STOMP HER AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!
Stew-O: ARIA IS STILL TRYING TO FIGHT! EVEN AFTER ALL OF THAT SHE’S GONE THROUGH! BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THAT’S THE CASE! SHE’S GOING COMPLETELY LIMP! ARIA IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THIS AND POTENTIALLY OUT OF THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER THANKS TO SAORI!
(Saori releases her, and ARIA completely slumps down to the ground, not moving. She turns around and begins to make her way out of the ring, with officials opening the Chamber door and yelling at her, Saori not seeming to care whatsoever as she brushes past them without a second glance. Meanwhile, Milli, while slowly recovering, has watched this all unfold.)
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI BANKS IS CRAWLING TOWARD ARIA, AS IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE SHE HAS SYMPATHY FOR HER! SHE IMMEDIATELY THROWS HER ARM OVER HER AND PINS HER SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
Stew-O: AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY DOWN TO TWO IN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
Persephone: Yay.
Bella Braxton: ARIA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(Milli slowly rolls herself off the body of ARIA, clutching a hold of the ropes and pulling herself toward them as she looks directly at Ms. Extreme, who has begun to recover herself and look directly at Milli. Both of them stare at one another, knowing the stakes. The fighting Champion, who has spent this entire match scratching tooth and nail to keep the title by her side, and the hungry, vindictive, former Women’s Champion, looking to capture her former glory and take back everything that she is owed once and for all… It has all come down to this.)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! BOTH OF THEM CHARGE AT EACH OTHER AND IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO SWING FOR THE FENCES! BACK AND FORTH THEY GO WITH REPEATED SHOTS TO ONE ANOTHER! AND IT SEEMS LIKE NEITHER OF THEM WANTS TO QUIT! BOTH OF THEM KNOW THE STAKES AT HAND AND HOW MUCH THIS MATCH MEANS TO THEM!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME STAGGERS BACK, BUT MANAGES TO SPIN AROUND AND NAIL MILLI FLUSH WITH A ROLLING ELBOW! SHE THEN GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND THROWS HER TOWARD THE ROPES WITH AN IRISH WHIP! BUT MILLI IMMEDIATELY LAUNCHES OFF OF THE ROPES AND NAILS HER WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO COUNTER-
Persephone: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO BLOCK, AND MILLI’S BUM KNEE COLLIDES WITH HER FOREARM AS SHE FALLS DOWN TO THE GROUND, WRITHING IN PAIN! AND NOW MS. EXTREME GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND LIFTS HER UP TO HER FEET! SETTING HER UP!
Stew-O: BEFORE PLANTING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A ‘TWIST OF FATE’! MS. EXTREME ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG AS SHE GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO COME ALIVE AND SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Stew-O: Milli is immediately beginning to crawl herself away as she escapes to the outside of the ring, but Ms. Extreme is quick to follow as she grabs a hold of her and brings her up- BUT MILLI COMES ALIVE! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND SPIKES HER DOWN FACE FIRST WITH AN STO ON THE VICIOUS OUTSIDE FLOORING OF THE CHAMBER!
(Milli immediately begins to scramble, looking around for anything that she’s going to be able to use right now. She quickly grabs a hold of Raven Roberts’ spiked chain whip, wrapping it around her fist as she mounts on top of Ms. Extreme.)
Persephone: AND NOW MILLI IS JUST HAMMERING AWAY WITH REPEATED SHOTS! HER SPIKED FIST IS CONTINUING TO BATTER THE CHAMPION AND TURN HER INTO ABSOLUTE MUSH! MS. EXTREME IS WAVING HER HANDS AROUND, STRUGGING TO TRY AND PUSH HER OFF!
(THUD!)
Stew-O: BUT SHE MANAGES TO DO SO AS SHE SHOVES MILLI BACKWARD! THE BACK OF MILLI’S HEAD COLLIDES WITH THE RINGPOST AS SHE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND THIS GIVES THE CHAMPION A MOMENT OF REPRIEVE!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME REACHES INSIDE OF THE RING AND TAKES ARIA’S WAR AXE! AND IMMEDIATELY SHE SWINGS DIRECTLY FOR HER!
(CLANG!)
Persephone: BUT MILLI MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AS THE AXE GETS LODGED DIRECTLY INTO THE CHAIN LINK FENCE! AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MILLI IS GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THERE! SHE IS GRABBING A HOLD OF THE STRUCTURE AND BEGINNING TO CLIMB UPWARD! MS. EXTREME IS NOT WASTING ANY TIME EITHER! HER ASS IS FOLLOWING HER!
Stew-O: MILLI LANDS AT THE TOP OF ONE OF THE CHAMBER PODS, BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE MS. EXTREME MEETS HER AT THE TOP HERSELF! MILLI IS TRYING TO KICK HER AWAY, BUT MS. EXTREME IS ALREADY UP THERE AS BOTH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE IN YET ANOTHER BACK AND FORTH!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MILLI IMMEDIATELY CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! AND NOW SHE’S TRYING TO SET HER UP HERE! NO!
Persephone: POISONRANA OFF THE FUCKING CHAMBER POD!
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO SLIP OUT JUST BEFORE THAT HAPPENS! SHE NARROWLY MANAGES TO CRAWL HERSELF AWAY AS SHE TURNS AROUND, KICKING MILLI IN THE ABDOMEN! NO! SHE CAN’T BE!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S GOING FOR WHAT SHE TRIED EARLIER! THE ‘CODE RED’! OFF OF THE POD! SUNSET FLIP BOMB-
(# CRASH!)
Persephone: AND SHE HITS IT! BOTH OF THEM FLY OFF OF THE POD AND LAND FLAT ON THE CANVAS IN A GRUESOME IMPACT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
(The crowd has erupted at this, as both Ms. Extreme and Milli Banks are in a heap inside the ring, neither of them having moved after the fact.)
Stew-O: THE CHAMPION IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO COME TO HER SENSES! SHE TAKES HER ARM AND THROWS IT OVER THE BODY OF MILLI!
Gavin Kirkland: AND STILL! AND STILL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)
Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK?!!??!?!?!
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS HAS KICKED OUT! MILLI BANKS HAS SOMEHOW FOUND IT WITHIN HER TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP, AND LOOK AT THE PURE SHOCK IN THE EYES OF MS. EXTREME! IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH, THEN WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE?!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is slowly beginning to come to her senses as she rises back up, and I don’t think she even realizes at the moment what just happened! But she’s going to have to think of something and quickly, because if I had to guess, Milli Banks is not going to be staying down for very long!
Persephone: Ms. Extreme is making her way over and taking a jagged piece of glass from the light tube fan. And it seems she has her eyes set, Milli is slowly beginning to rise up as Ms. Extreme makes her way over!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! MILLI HAD HER OWN GLASS SHARD! SHE JUST STABBED IT RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME!
(Ms. Extreme falls down to the ground in pain as blood pours from her forehead. This gives Milli a chance to breathe as she crawls away, loosening her boot and pulling out the last cartridge she has, loading up Thanatos, which she managed to bring within arms reach.)
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Persephone: BUT MILLI BANKS JUST SHOT HER POINT-BLANK IN THE FUCKING NECK WITH THAT TASER GUN! THE CHAMPION IS DOWN, AND SHE’S CONVULSING LIKE A WILD ANIMAL AT THIS POINT! JUST PUT HER OUT OF HER DAMN MISERY!
Stew-O: And that certainly seems like what she’s about to do right here! She takes Ms. Extreme’s Red Lightning Bolt and places it down at the center of the ring, but it seems like she isn’t done here either, as she grabs a hold of KASAI’s Queenslayer and brings it over on top of the other weapon! And if she has her way, Ms. Extreme is certainly not going to have a great night!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI LIFTS HER! SHE’S TRYING FOR ‘NORTH STAR’ ONTO THE PILE OF WEAPONS!
Persephone: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO SLIP OUT! SHE SHOVES MILLI TOWARD THE WEAPONS AS MILLI BARELY STOMPS HERSELF! SHE PLANTS HERSELF ONTO THE CANVAS BEFORE RISING BACK UP TO HER FEET AND TURNING AROUND-
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: BUT MS. EXTREME JUST TOOK THE WAR AXE AND SWUNG IT DIRECTLY INTO HER ABDOMEN! MILLI IS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND NOW MS. EXTREME IS LYING IN WAIT! JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND GOES FOR ‘HOLY GROUND’! LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP DIRECTLY TO THE CHEST OF MILLI BANKS1
Persephone: BUT MILLI MOVES OUT OF THE WAY-
Stew-O: AS MS. EXTREME LANDS ON HER INJURED ANKLE FROM EARLIER! SHE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CRIES IN PAIN AS MILLI BANKS HAS THE CHANCE TO STUMBLE AWAY!
(Ms. Extreme clutches onto the war axe, as she uses it to slowly keep herself up, but Milli, as she falls against the ropes, turns around, and sees an opening.)
(THUD!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!
Persephone: MILLI BANKS LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE FOOT CURB STOMP ONTO THE WAR AXE! THE BLUNT END PRESSES RIGHT AGAINST THE WINDPIPE OF MS. EXTREME AND COMPLETELY WIPES HER OUT! HOLY SHIT!
Stew-O: BUT MILLI BANKS ISN’T DONE EITHER! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND BRINGS HER UP TO HER FEET, SETTING HER UP! NO!
(# BOOM!)
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE SPINS MS. EXTREME AROUND INTO ‘NORTH STAR’ DIRECTLY ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED WEAPON PILE! SPARKS ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE, SMOKE IS BEGINNING TO EXUDE FROM THE CENTER OF THE RING! WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED THERE!
(The crowd gasps at what they just witnessed, and as a cloud of smoke covers the Extreme Elimination Chamber, it slowly begins to disappear as the only sight that’s seen…)
(Is Milli having her body completely over Ms. Extreme, shoulders down on the mat.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Just a Phase’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd is murmuring at what they’ve just seen. The Chamber door immediately opens as officials flood in, checking on both Milli and Ms. Extreme as both are at the center of the ring, having not moved at all. Despite everything, despite the carnage, there is one definite above it all… and that is that Milli Banks is a two-time Universal Women’s Champion.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND NEW!!! EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Okay, I’m impressed.
Stew-O: I’m astonished at what we’ve just seen. And I can’t believe it took all of that for this match to finally come to a close. These two, and everyone else in the match, as a matter of fact, laid it all on the line to be able to call themselves the Universal Women’s Champion. And when it came down to it, it ook Milli Banks going to her absolute length, pushing Ms. Extreme to her limit, in order to finally be able to put her down for good.
Gavin Kirkland: Feisty spirits! Feisty, feisty spirits! But when it came down to it, when it was all said and done, it was Milli Banks who got the last laugh! She was able to say that she walked out of this one as the new Universal Women’s Champion, and it seems like, for her, the journey is finally complete.
Stew-O: But if you know EAW, the journey is never complete. In fact, for Milli, it might’ve just started. Who knows where the cards fall from here, but there’s one thing for certain: that right here, right now, to end 2025, Milli Banks stands above all.
(Milli has finally managed to recover, off pure adrenaline still, she gets up on her own two feet, snatching the Universal Women’s Championship into her hands as she raises it high into the air. Pyro is seen erupting from the stage as the crowd reacts loudly to the match that they just witnessed. The last shot seen is Milli falling against the ropes, clutching the title close to her chest, as Road To Redemption begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(The Graphics for the next match appears.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IS FOR THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Betty (Get Money)’ by Yung Gravy hits. Clayton Golde steps out, phone already live-streaming, designer hoodie zipped to the throat. He points at the hard cam, then at the title picture in the rafters, smirking.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER! FROM ROMANIA! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS! CLAYTONNNNN GOLLLLLLDE!
Gavin Kirkland: There he is! The influencer with an attitude! Phone in one hand, ego in the other! And of course, he’s already streaming—
Clayton Golde: (into phone) Chat, we’re about to witness history. The first podcaster to ever win the New Breed Championship, put Ws in the chat if you’re ready for me to beat this fraud!
Rich Russillo: He’s confident, I’ll give him that. But Ashlynn Quinn is a different breed of trouble. She’s been carrying that New Breed title since Pain for Pride and she doesn’t play nice nor does she play fair. As we saw from their last encounter.
Persephone: Well Clayton says that he is ready for Ashlynn this time around, let’s hope he can put his money where his mouth is and get the job done here tonight.
(‘Juno’ by Sabrina Carpenter blasts. Ashlynn Quinn emerges, title belt gleaming under the lights, kissing the faceplate as she struts down the ramp like a runway. She smiled, showing her pearly white teeth as she waved to the booing crowd.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION! FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS! SHE IS THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION! MISS VOLTAGE! ASHLYNNNNNN QUINNNNNNN!
Persephone: Don’t let Ashlynn’s looks fool you, she is ready to rid herself of Clayton once and for all. We know she is willing to do any and everything to do it, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Can Ashlynn do it twice in a row and finally knock Clayton down a peg?
Gavin Kirkland: I’m sure someone as sexy and beautiful as Ashlynn will have no problem with Clayton tonight. But one got to wonder, if Clayton really did learn from his mistakes. Will Ashlynn be able to catch lightning in the bottle?
Ashlynn Quinn: (off-mic, to Clayton in the ring) Put that phone down uggo! Nobody is trying to see you, they are trying to see me beat your ass!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: And we’re off! Two of what some would call the slimiest and self driven wrestlers in the game, competing for one title once again, and let me just let it be known it’s zero rules they plan on following!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton circles, phone still in his left hand, using it almost like a shield. Ashlynn just charges— RUNNING BACK ELBOW! Clayton ducks under it and pops up behind her HIP TOSS! Ashlynn lands hard but kips up immediately—
Persephone: STEP-UP ENZIGURI! Ashlynn just kicked his teeth in! Clayton drops the phone! It skids across the mat! Ashlynn’s not letting him get it! She stomps on the phone screen! Clayton’s face goes white!
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) THAT WAS A $1,200 PHONE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PAID PROMOS THAT TOOK?!
Rich Russillo: Ashlynn picks up the cracked phone and tosses it out of the ring into the crowd! Psychological warfare from the champion. She knows how much that phone meant to him! This could really affect him mentally! Clayton goes from shock to pure rage! He charges for a SUPERKICK! Ashlynn catches his foot and spins him around— CATCHING HIM INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! Clayton’s folded like origami! Ashlynn bridges!
Referee: ONE!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton kicks out and immediately rolls to ringside to collect himself! Ashlynn doesn’t seem to want him to get a single breath of air! She charges with a TOPE CON HILO! She just launched herself into him! The champion is showing absolutely no mercy and rightfully so! She’s hammering him with forearm strikes down on the mat! Clayton covering up, trying to protect his moneymaker!
Persephone: Ashlynn grabs him by the hair and whips him toward the steel steps— Clayton reverses! Ashlynn’s shoulder meets the steel steps! Smart counter from the challenger! He’s learning fast! Clayton goes over and grabs the timekeeper’s chair?! What is he doing with that? The referee’s warning him, but Clayton’s holding the chair up. The referee’s counting! If Clayton doesn’t drop it, he’s DISQUALIFIED!
Rich Russillo: Clayton seemingly putting down the chair but it seems like he is setting it up— OH WAIT A MINUTE! HE IS RUNNING TOWARDS IT! USE IT FOR LEVERAGE! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY— Ashlynn catches him with a DROPKICK OUT OF THE AIR! Clayton tried to have a viral moment but it backfired horribly!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton isn’t staying down for long, he stumbles his way up and charges at her— SHE DUCKS! He runs into the apron! Clayton stumbles back! Ashlynn with a RUNNING PUMP KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Clayton goes down and Ashlynn quickly throws Clayton back in the ring! Ashlynn climbs up top SHE’S GOING FOR THE MOONSAULT— NO!

She’s beating him like a drum against the ropes! The referee’s trying to restore order but Ashlynn is in the zone! She wants to make sure he feels every strike!
Rich Russillo: Clayton catches her arm and he quickly yanks her neck into the ropes! Ashlynn’s throat bounces off the top rope! Clayton gets back up on the apron and follows up a BATTERING RAM HEADBUTT SPRINGING INTO THE RING! Ashlynn drops to the mat! Clayton’s got control and he’s looking to keep that! He’s dragging her closer to the rope, he’s got her positioned and runs to the rope! SPRINGING OF THE ROPE AND HITTING A 450 LEG DROP—

She’s teeing off on his face! Clayton shoves her! He rolls away, clutching his jaw! Ashlynn’s enjoying this too much! She pulls him up by his hair— he grabs her wrist with an ARM DRAG! Ashlynn rolls through! QUICKLY GOING FOR A DISASTER KICK— Clayton ducks under it and catches her on the rebound!
Persephone: SPINEBUSTER! HE PLANTED HER! Clayton’s finally showing some power! He doesn’t cover, he’s heading to the apron again! He’s setting something up! This is where Clayton gets creative! He’s waiting for Ashlynn to stir, she’s pushing up, Clayton SPRINGBOARD OFF THE TOP ROPE FOR A CLOTHESLINE! Ashlynn rolls out of the way! Clayton lands— Ashlynn with a RUNNING KNEE! Clayton blocks! He catches her leg with a DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP! Ashlynn clutches her knee! Clayton’s targeting the base! He knows she needs her legs for that aerial offense!
Rich Russillo: Clayton grabs that leg for a SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! Ashlynn’s stuck in the center! She’s reaching for ropes but can’t get there! Clayton’s wrenching back! Ashlynn’s face is contorted in pain! She’s trying to roll through— Clayton’s base is too strong! This is smart, methodical work from the challenger. He’s taking away the champion’s greatest weapon!

She rolls back into the ring, Clayton’s on the outside trying to regain balance— she runs the ropes and hits a SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors are down at ringside! The referee’s counting! Clayton’s clutching his face where that kick landed! Ashlynn’s favoring her knee from that crab! Clayton somehow is the first one up, he grabs Ashlynn, he’s trying to roll her back in but Ashlynn grabs him— SHE PULLS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Clayton’s stumbling back! Ashlynn slides back in! She hits the ropes— BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! Clayton gets pushed into the barricade! Ashlynn quickly runs out and grabs Clayton, throwing him back into the ring! Ashlynn climbs the turnbuckle, she’s perched— SWANTON BOMB! SHE JUST LAUNCHED HERSELF!

Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON’S BOUNCES BACK OFF THE ROPES! GOING FOR THE ‘DEMONETIZED’! THE DISCUS ELBOW! ASHLYNN DUCKS UNDER IT! RUNS TO THE ROPES— ASHLYNN HITS THE ‘BAD & BOUJEE’! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! SHE JUST SPIKED HIM! SHE’S CRAWLING TOWARDS HIM THIS HAS TO BE IT!
(As Ashlynn was about to cover Clayton, suddenly a fan hopped the barricade and began to cause a ruckus at ringside! Security quickly swooped in but he was close enough to the apron to get Ashlynn and the referee’s attention!)
Rich Russillo: Got really rowdy fans here in New Orleans, it appears. Get him out of here before he gets hurt! He’s disrupting this match!
Persephone: Wait…is he wearing Clayton Golde merch? Hold on! LOOK!
(While the referee was distracted making sure that the fan was escorted out of ringside, another fan was also at ringside sliding Clayton his golden branded chair! Ashlynn, unwise turned around to see where Golde was—)
(##WACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: CHAIRSHOT TO THE HEAD OF ASHLYNN! HOLD ON WAS THIS ALL APART OF HIS PLAN?! WERE THOSE GOLDE FANS!? WHAT IS GOING ON! GOLDE TOSSING THE CHAIR OUT AND PRETENDING NOTHING HAPPENED! THE REFEREE IS CONFUSED!
Rich Russillo: CLAYTON SEEMED PREPARED THIS TIME AROUND AND NOW HE IS DRAPPING HIS ARM OVER ASHLYNN!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Ramano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEWWWW EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION…CLAYTON GOLDE!
(Clayton seemed to not take long to play off the injury, standing up and yelling at the crowd in excitement! Of course the crowd booing, but it didn’t matter as the referee confusingly hands Clayton his newly won title!$
Persephone: NO WAY! Clayton for the first time in his career has become Champion! Managing to outlast and outsmart Ashlynn Quinn and take her Championship!
Rich Russillo: An amazing reign it was and nothing will change my mind about that, she has been able to outmaneuver and outsmart every competitor she came across. Even Clayton Golde in their first encounter. But now it seems Clayton has done the outsmarting.
Gavin Kirkland: The question I have to ask is…how will this increase Clayton’s following now?! More people taking the Golden pill? We have to see!
(Clayton raises with Championship high, even though his phone was broken he looked into the camera and continued to plug himself. With the added fact that he was your NEW EAW New Breed Champion! As the camera fades to black on a lingering shot of the ecstatic new Champion.)
(Road to Redemption returns from commercial and the crowd erupts in anticipation for the next match of the night.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH FOR THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!
(‘New Devil’ by Asking Alexandria blasts through the arena as Daryl Kinkade steps onto the stage in dark blue and silver gear with the atmosphere instantly shifting into big fight intensity. Kinkade closes his eyes for a moment, absorbing everything he has endured, exhales deeply, and sharpens his focus before beginning the walk forward.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER!… FIRST!…. FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!… THE KINK OF ELITE!… DARYLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!… KINKADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl has outright said this match is going to be a nightmare for everyone except him, and honestly that kind of confidence sets the tone immediately. This thing is built to spiral into chaos and he believes the longer it drags on the more dangerous it becomes and that mindset alone could turn this into something terrifying!
Eve: There is logic behind that confidence, to be honest. Brianna Hill has been marginalized and underestimated, Pandora Paisley is regressing into a support role, Harper Lee is clinging to past accomplishments, and Silas Mason’s leadership has been erratic at best. This environment plays directly into Kinkade’s ability to exploit fractures and seize control!
Deadprez: This match was designed to bury him but Daryl believes tonight is about exposing Silas World and tearing the championship away from their grasp. If that happens, this becomes a living nightmare they will be forced to remember.
(Daryl steps into the ring, poses briefly, and removes his entrance coat with his music abruptly shifts as ‘Mirtazapine’ by Hayley Williams replaces it. Brianna Hill emerges onto the stage in an extravagant mix of light green, lime, and blue. She looks up toward the ring, locks eyes with Kinkade, flashes a knowing and almost defiant smirk, then begins her confident walk.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE SECOND CHALLENGER!… FROM CANCÚN, MEXICO!… WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS!… THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN!… BRIANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!…. HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: She does not subscribe to any narrative Daryl Kinkade is trying to impose tonight, and this match represents the moment she has been chasing for far too long and she is determined to make it her breakthrough. Will tonight finally belong to Brianna Hill?
Gavin Kirkland: I absolutely hope it does! I might agree with Kinkade on confidence, but he is completely delusional if he thinks he is better than my Butterfly Queen! This is her moment and she is here to take it! Nothing about this match is going to work in his favor if she has anything to say about it!
Deadprez: Speculation has surrounded this match from every possible angle, but at its core Brianna’s stance is simple. Things only go wrong if she allows herself to play a role assigned by others. If she embraces the chaos instead, that disorder could finally pivot her career in the direction she has been waiting for.
(Brianna Hill steps into the ring and locks eyes with Daryl Kinkade, tension thick in the air, when attention suddenly shifts as ‘Just Stop’ by Disturbed hits the sound system. Pandora Paisley comes out in sophisticated fit. Pandora pauses on the stage, eyes narrowed, taking in both competitors before exhaling sharply and marching down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE THIRD CHALLENGER!… FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 9 STONES!… THE HELLCAT!… PANDORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!… PAISLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a crossroads moment if I have ever seen one. Everything about her career funnels into this match right here and nothing outweighs the hunger to finally seize singles gold and crown herself champion!
Eve: She has followed instructions for a long time, but this is the point where that obedience has to end. Even if stopping Daryl is not her primary concern, the championship itself remains the ultimate objective. Self interest outweighs allegiance in a match like this.
Deadprez: She has branded herself the most dangerous variable in this equation and history suggests she might be right. Titles rarely change hands without blood on familiar ground.
(Pandora surveys the ring carefully then‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics begins to play. All attention snaps to the stage as the champion appears. Harper Lee steps out with the National Elite Championship fastened proudly around her waist. Lee removes it, hoists it high above her head, and begins her confident descent toward the ring as every eye follows her with a mixture of awe and resentment.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION!… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA!… WEIGHING IN 118 POUNDS!… SHE’S THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!… THE TROUBLEMAKER!… HARPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!… LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: There is no question Harper Lee despises this match format and the way it has spiraled into chaos, but loyalty overrides preference here. Silas World comes first and she is prepared to defend this championship with pride and discipline in the service of that cause.
Gavin Kirkland: That is a phenomenal woman standing there and she should still be the champion right now! This, RIGHT FUCKING HERE, is exactly what everyone should be following! Fall in line, show respect, and bow down to the TOP CHAMPION!
Eve: She believes this entire scenario was engineered to fracture the foundation of Silas World and expose internal fault lines. Any attempt to exploit division is being rejected outright! Harper Lee is not allowing manipulation to strip her of the title or undermine her authority and nothing is stopping her from protecting both the championship and her own legacy!
(DING DING DING!)
Eve: Match is underway and all eyes are locked on Daryl Kinkade the moment the bell tolls!
Gavin Kirkland: This is absolutely NOT an ideal predicament for poor Daryl, but I personally would LOVE to have all three of these women staring holes through me at once!
Deadprez: Realistically, that is never happening for you, and apologies are not on the menu.
Eve: Kinkade is completely aware of the target painted across his back. Even Pandora Paisley is levelling him with that same penetrating glare despite everything conjured between them over the last few weeks. High stakes mean every soul must fend for themselves!
Gavin Kirkland: Does not look like that to me, Eve! Silas World has a very treasured history of being a calculating malignancy against everyone in their orbit and they want to ensure this entire ordeal benefits Mondrian!
Deadprez: Three converge at once, and Pandora hesitates, but Brianna Hill breaks formation and charges ahead to decapitate Kinkade with a clothesline. Kinkade evades and hooks the arms… SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! BRIANNA IS FOLDED LIKE A PAPER TALISMAN AND ERADICATED EARLY!
Eve: That is a tactical focus from Kinkade and Harper Lee barrels in right after, slugging him in the midsection! The champion is attempting to seize the tempo here….
Gavin Kirkland: Harper snatches him by the wrist, attempting an Irish whip, but Daryl rotates out of the hold and buries a kick right into her abdomen before cinching her up!… TIGER SUPLEX WITH A DEEP BRIDGE AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION IS LAUNCHED! A MIRRORED FATE TO BRIANNA HILL EARLIER!
Deadprez: Now the dust settles between Pandora and Daryl. What exactly is he intending to do here?
Eve: Kinkade’s gaze is bolted onto Pandora as she refuses to commit to an advance, dodging and weaving while the chaos erupts around them. Both fall naturally into their fighting stances… are they finally going to clash, or will this tension continue to simmer?
(Daryl Kinkade stands poised in a fighting stance, Pandora Paisley staring back with hesitant, uncertain whether to commit as Daryl readies himself to strike.)
Crowd: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Daryl Kinkade: (Off-Mic) Don’t you claim you’re dangerous? I know exactly who you are. Now show me what you’ve got.
Gavin Kirkland: This is wild! Pandora keeps preaching that it isn’t necessary to maim or triple-team Daryl just to keep the title in the family, but now she has to make a decision! Does she actually want to throw down just because Daryl called her out?! I mean… I kind of want her to, personally!
Eve: CHOP BLOCK! BRIANNA HILL HAS RECOVERED AND BLINDSIDES DARYL FROM BEHIND JUST AS HE’S DISTRACTED BY PANDORA’S HESITATION! PERFECTLY TIMED AND IT CUTS HIM RIGHT DOWN!
Deadprez: Harper Lee is dragging herself back up as well after that Tiger Suplex, and now both of them are swarming Daryl! He has been flattened to the canvas and they’re stomping him into the mat with no remorse!
Gavin Kirkland: And Pandora is still just standing there! Is she even trying to make a decision?!
Eve: Brianna Hill is mercilessly battering Daryl Kinkade who is sprawled across the canvas, but Harper Lee seems to have finally noticed that someone in this entire equation has absolutely zero intention of cooperating…!
(Harper Lee whips her head toward Pandora Paisley and begins yelling at her with venom practically dripping from her tone. Pandora looks disturbed.)
Harper Lee: Don’t you say you want to keep the title for us?! Then be useful for the team! We are FAMILY, right?! Do something worthwhile!
(Harper shoves Pandora toward Brianna as if Pandora is some disposable pawn, grinning smugly while the arena rains down hatred.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off-Mic) …
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: I’m pretty sure that is NOT what she meant by keeping it in the family-
Eve: AND FROM BEHIND! PANDORA JUST SHOVES HARPER LEE CLEAN OUT OF THE RING! THE ARENA ERUPTS! SHE TURNS BACK AROUND AND KICKS BRIANNA HILL AWAY FROM KINKADE AS WELL!
Deadprez: PANDORA IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO STEAL THE VICTORY AFTER SILAS WORLD SET THE TABLE! SHE DROPS INTO THE COVER ON DARYL KINKADE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: And Brianna Hill dives in to rip Pandora off Daryl! She is absolutely bewildered by whatever she just witnessed, and she is NOT taking it lightly!
Brianna Hill: (Off-Mic) What the hell do you think you’re doing?!
Pandora Paisley: (Off-Mic) Didn’t I promise to keep the title in the family for the team? You did your part, I was just doing mine!
(Suddenly, Harper Lee slides back into the ring in the midst of the argument and takes it personally with Pandora, who turns toward her more aggressively as Harper approaches her just as fiercely.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) HEY! What was that?! Did you try to take advantage of our work?! That is not how the family does it-
Gavin Kirkland: HIP TOSS! PANDORA JUST CUTS HARPER OFF WITH A CLEAN HIP TOSS AND THIS HAS EXPLODED INTO A COMPLETE BRAWL! BRIANNA HILL INSTANTLY SEIZES THE OPENING RIGHT AFTER!
Eve: Hill takes the matter into her own hands and tries to send Pandora off the ropes while Pandora rebounds back at full velocity-
Deadprez: She was attempting for the clothesline again, but Pandora ducks underneath the strike and swiftly pops both legs around the head before coming down!… THE TRANSITION INTO THE EXQUISITE MEXICAN ARM DRAG TAKES BRIANNA HILL OUT AS WELL!
Eve: Lee was just scrambling back from the ground and Pandora seizes the advantage yet again, tossing Harper off her feet!… BACK BODY DROP AS HARPER REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND IS SENT CRASHING BACK DOWN TO EARTH!
Gavin Kirkland: Hill is sliding out to the floor to catch her breath after that earlier disaster with Kinkade! Inside the ring, Pandora is busy trading control with the champion and I cannot believe how gorgeous chaos looks when women like this are involved!
Deadprez: Folks, brace yourselves because someone is about to take flight! This is going to be hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
Gavin Kirkland: SASUKE SPECIAL! WHAT A BREATHTAKING MOVE BY DARYL KINKADE OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE AND HE WIPES OUT BRIANNA HILL IN ONE MAGNIFICENT SWEEP!
Eve: Silas World is not looking so great inside the ring right now! Pandora already crushed Harper Lee after that back body drop and seizes command again, hauling her off the canvas and lifting her high!… PUMPHANDLE FRONT SLAM WITH AUTHORITY, DROPPING THE CHAMPION HARD!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora is putting real force behind that move and she goes for a cover again! This time on Harper Lee!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee kicks out at two! She is fighting for her life and I love that spirit of the champion! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
Eve: There is stubborn resistance between those two inside the ring, but outside the ropes Daryl refocuses and begins working Brianna Hill down!
Gavin Kirkland: Hill has been dragged back to her feet yet again but she seems to have something concealed after a moment of stillness, and Daryl does not even seem to recognize the danger!-
(CRACK!)
Eve: That is a Kendo Stick! Remember, no rules are involved here, and Hill is ruthlessly using it!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, that wicked woman! Daryl gets slashed across the limb with that Kendo Stick strike from Brianna Hill, which buys her some leverage… AND THEN SHE SWINGS HIGH AND SMASHES HIM IN THE SKULL WITH IT!
Deadprez: Kinkade collapses under the sheer brutality of that blow! We warned you this was going to descend into carnage, and the prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes!
Eve: Kinkade has already taken a brutal toll in this match with the way Silas World swarmed him early, and that pressure is only compounding from here!
Gavin Kirkland: Back inside the ring, Pandora was lining up for a back suplex when Harper Lee snapped a sharp back elbow right into her face, rattling her vision! She’s done being anyone’s punching bag tonight!
Deadprez: The Champion wants to assert dominance here, title or not, as she vaults forward and clamps onto Pandora by the head!…. JUMPING DDT DRIVES HER INTO THE CANVAS!
Eve: That burst of offense gives Lee just enough breathing room to dictate the tempo, capitalizing on the opening and planting Pandora decisively! Momentum swinging back in her favor!
Gavin Kirkland: Outside the ring, Kinkade is barely upright against the barricade while Brianna Hill lines up her shot, rearing back with bad intentions and SWINGING!-
Eve: Heads up! That kendo stick ricochets off the guardrail and nearly sails into the crowd as Kinkade narrowly slips aside!… HILL TURNS RIGHT INTO A RUNNING BOOT TO THE JAW FROM DARYL THAT NEARLY SENDS HER TUMBLING OVER THE BARRICADE!
Deadprez: Spatial awareness at its finest as Kinkade takes control of the environment, hauling Brianna up into a lift!… FRONT SUPLEX DRIVES HER SPINE FIRST ACROSS THE TOP OF THE GUARDRAIL AND SHE FALLS STRAIGHT INTO THE CROWD AREA!
Gavin Kirkland: Everyone’s crowding around Brianna Hill down there and I’m offended I don’t have a better view! COME ON! THIS IS A TRAVESTY!
Eve: Back inside the ring now, Harper Lee is still pressing her advantage and tries to take control with a flip, looking to set up the Rolling Double Knee Drop, but Pandora slips out of danger!
Deadprez: That was meant to be a full Insult to Injury attempt, but the challenger takes a split second longer to recover from the DDT still rattling her senses… AND THAT HESITATION LETS LEE FIRE OFF A SHARP EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE CHIN THAT LEAVES HER SEEING STARS!
Gavin Kirkland: Lee snaps another European Uppercut right on the button while Pandora is backed against the ropes, then grabs the wrist and looks for the Irish whip on the bigger woman standing in front of her!
Eve: Off the ropes she goes, and Lee looks for the Bicycle Kick, but Pandora avoids it again, rebounding with speed this time and starting to build real momentum on the return!…
Deadprez: Pandora gains velocity on the second pass, and when Lee tries to stop her with a spinning backfist, Pandora ducks underneath, traps the arm, throws her legs over… AND TRANSITIONS CLEANLY INTO A FULL OCTOPUS STRETCH TO LOCK HARPER LEE DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: The champion is trapped in the center of the ring while Kinkade has Brianna Hill lined up on the outside, and it looks like he’s thinking about doing something absolutely unhinged! Is he really about to launch himself over that barricade?!
Eve: That’s the signal, and here he goes… KINKADE DIVES IN!-
Deadprez: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! THE RISK DOES NOT PAY OFF AS HILL COUNTERS HIM MID AIR, SMASHING HIM CLEAN WITH THE KNEE AND STOPPING KINKADE DEAD WHILE THE CROWD REACTS TO THAT PERFECTLY TIMED INTERCEPTION!
Gavin Kirkland: Hill quickly brushes off Kinkade, who got rocked earlier by that bicycle knee, and now she vaults over the barricade trying to get back inside the ring!
Eve: Lee has fallen straight into a tactical snare here as Pandora uses her leverage and body weight to smother the situation, grinding the champion down to the canvas with the Octopus Stretch fully cinched in!
Deadprez: But Brianna Hill storms back into the ring from the outside like a late arriving variable, and Pandora doesn’t have the luxury of time to finish Harper off, that grip loosens and the opening is there!-
Gavin Kirkland: PENALTY KICK STRAIGHT TO PANDORA’S JAW THE SECOND SHE GETS BACK INSIDE THE RING! BRIANNA HILL BLASTS HER PARTNER OFF THE CHAMPION AND SHOWS ZERO HESITATION IN SABOTAGING THE PLAN IF IT MEANS ADVANCING HER OWN CHANCES!
Eve: That tells you everything about the fracture lines inside Silas World right now, self-preservation over unity, and that kind of internal chaos never ends cleanly for anyone involved!
Eve: Lee has been dragged back into the thick of it here, but Brianna Hill just intervened at the last second, booting Pandora away before yanking her up and hurling her straight to the outside!
Deadprez: Now it’s just Brianna Hill and Harper Lee alone in the ring, and both of them suddenly hesitate! The stakes are enormous, but the question hangs in the air here, does Brianna actually play along for Silas World?
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) I can’t really blame you for being shoved into this position, but as I said, it’s always been your fault that you turned out the way you did.
(Brianna scoffs.)
Brianna Hill: (Off-Mic) Don’t worry about me. When I win this match, I won’t have to tolerate any of this anymore. That changes everything.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) I’d love to see you try.
Eve: AND THAT’S THE TRIGGER! HILL SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD, CUTTING THE EXCHANGE SHORT WITH A LIGHTNING FAST SCORPION KICK AIMED STRAIGHT FOR LEE’S JAW!
Gavin Kirkland: AVOID! Lee pulls off a Matrix evasion, bending back just enough to let that kick sail past her face! Hill overextends, and now both women snap back upright, squaring off on perfectly equal footing!
Deadprez: Hill doesn’t hesitate, trying to reset her stance, but Lee chops her down with a brutal roundhouse to the thigh that drops Brianna to one knee instantly! Momentum completely shifts here as Lee chambers the leg again and fires off another roundhouse… THIS ONE CRACKING AGAINST THE SIDE OF HILL’S HEAD-
Eve: Awareness has fully set in for Brianna Hill here at this point, but Lee narrowly avoids the kick as it fails to fully connect, allowing Hill to slip behind her and hurl her overhead!… SAITO SUPLEX CONNECTS AND DRIVES HARPER LEE DOWN!
Eve: It is every elitist for themselves in this match right now, and any Silas World allegiance has to be set aside when survival becomes the priority.
Deadprez: Silas Mason is surely watching with a grin somewhere, pleased that none of them are taking the easy road here, letting ego and ambition collide in a very real way, but that strategy can always backfire!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee has been dumped again by that Saito Suplex, and Hill stumbles toward the corner, realizing there is an opportunity to exploit here! She turns around and starts climbing up top-
Eve: WAIT JUST A SECOND! DARYL KINKADE IS BACK AFTER TAKING A BRUTAL BEATING EARLIER! HE VAULTS THE BARRICADE AND RUSHES BACK INTO THE RING!
Deadprez: Hill senses something is wrong, but Kinkade is already in motion, charging across the ring and yanking her head down on arrival!… CHEEKY NANDO’S KICK CONNECTS CLEAN AND STUNS HARPER LEE IN THE PROCESS!
Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill gets hoisted up as Harper Lee tries to recover from the Saito Suplex and here comes Daryl Kinkade at full speed!… POWERBOMB DRIVES BRIANNA HILL DOWN ONTO HARPER LEE! BOTH WOMEN CRASH TO THE MAT AND HILL LANDS FLAT ACROSS HER! POOR HARPER!
Eve: Brianna Hill is rolling out to the floor at the same moment Pandora Paisley regains her bearings and steps in… CRACKING HILL WITH A SHARP ELBOW THAT SENDS HER REELING AWAY FROM THE IMPACT!
Gavin Kirkland: Inside the ring, Kinkade is sneaking in the pinfall on Harper Lee while everyone else is distracted! He’s trying to steal this outright and walk out as the champion!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: And Harper Lee kicks out at two! Not quite enough for Kinkade to seize destiny just yet!
Deadprez: But the work isn’t slowing down for Daryl Kinkade as he scrambles back to his feet and shifts gears immediately!… STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS CRASHES DOWN ON HARPER LEE! ANOTHER COVER BY KINKADE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Deadprez: TWO! REPEATED PUNISHMENT ONLY SEEMS TO IGNITE THE CHAMPION’S SURVIVAL INSTINCTS EVEN FURTHER AS HARPER LEE KICKS OUT AGAIN! THE RESISTANCE JUST KEEPS ESCALATING!
Eve: Daryl is starting to show frustration, but he understands there is no easy exit here for him!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile, we are getting a much closer, far too lovely look at two incredibly talented female athletes throwing down right in front of us with Brianna Hill and Pandora Paisley! Man, I love LIFE!
Eve: Brianna Hill attempts another blind elbow, but Pandora anticipates it this time, slipping past and driving a sharp shoulder thrust that sends Hill’s back crashing hard against the edge of our commentary table!
Deadprez: Ah dawg, are we watching this in 4D IMAX or what? I swear the desk just shook over here!
Gavin Kirkland: I’m shaking too, Prez! I mean, I’m excited as hell right now because-
Eve: Please do NOT elaborate on that sentiment, Mr. Gavin Kirkland! Pandora is hunting for more punishment here and lining up a running strike!-
Gavin Kirkland: LOVE TAP INCOMING!
Deadprez: OH MY GOD, HEADS UP EVERYONE!
(CRASH!)
Eve: PANDORA WAS AIMING FOR THE LOVE TAP KNEE STRIKE, BUT HILL THROWS HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY AND PANDORA OVERSHOOTS, NEARLY FLYING CLEAN OVER THE COMMENTARY TABLE! THIS SITUATION IS ONLY GETTING MORE DANGEROUS FROM HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT FOR ME! IF IT WERE UP TO ME, PANDORA WOULD BE JUST FINE!
Deadprez: Aw hell nah!
Eve: Inside the ring, Daryl Kinkade is hunting for the Butterfly Suplex on Harper Lee, but she is digging in her heels and refusing to budge, forcing him into a struggle he did not anticipate!
Gavin Kirkland: GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY NATIONAL ELITE QUEEN, YOU BRITISH FREAK!
Deadprez: Kinkade eventually has to abandon the lift and starts softening her up instead, driving repeated forearm clubs across her back until the champion drops to one knee!
Eve: That momentary opening is seized as Kinkade clamps both hands around her head, looking to drag full control back in his favor-
Gavin Kirkland: HEADBUTT FROM HARPER LEE! YES! FIGHT BACK!
Deadprez: THAT SHARP HEADBUTT SNAPS UPWARD UNDER THE CHIN, JOLTING KINKADE BACKWARD AND RATTLING HIS BALANCE! DARYL DOUBLES OVER FOR A SPLIT SECOND, AND THAT MOMENTUM SHIFT IS ALL SHE NEEDS!
Eve: Power remains the dividing line here, and that Discus Lariat was not enough to put him away! Kinkade is still standing, even if he is wobbling!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s down to one knee, and Lee is already lining up her next strike, stalking him like prey!
Deadprez: She goes for the Shining Wizard, but Kinkade slips it and catches the leg, refusing to go quietly-
Gavin Kirkland: BANG! TAKE THAT, SUCKER! A FEINT SHINING WIZARD TURNS INTO A REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT SNAPS ACROSS THE NERVE POINT AND DROPS KINKADE WHERE HE STANDS! THAT’S RIGHT, JACKASS! KNOW YOUR PLACE!
Eve: Pandora is still laid out across the table and Brianna is already climbing onto the barricade at this moment, she might be looking to take a massive risk here!
Gavin Kirkland: Be careful, ma’am!
Deadprez: Hill is perched on top of the guardrail, trying to warn the audience to clear out while she measures her distance. Pandora is still sprawled across our commentary table, everyone needs to move right now!
Eve: Brianna dives in!… CANNONBALL SENTON ON PANDORA AND THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE! BOTH WOMEN CRASH STRAIGHT THROUGH IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, are they okay?! We need medical staff out here NOW! This is absolutely unacceptable!
Deadprez: Back inside the ring, the attempt at the Running Meteora comes flying in as Harper goes for it, but the knee is allowed to crash short as the counter from Daryl Kinkade rolls straight through while still clamping onto one of Harper Lee’s legs! Almost surgical!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s been caught, are you seeing this?! I mean look at her, beautiful and suddenly vulnerable, and now I’m very concerned for that leg and for my heart right now!
Eve: This is exactly what happens when momentum overrides balance! The leg was never fully reset after the takeoff, and that split second is all it takes for a seasoned technician to seize control and redirect force!… DRAGON SCREW BY DARYL! THE ROTATION IS TWISTING THE JOINT ON LANDING AND IMMEDIATELY NEUTRALIZING THE CHAMPION’S BASE!
Gavin Kirkland: That leg just got folded in half and I don’t care who you are, that’s the kind of pain that ruins careers and ruins my evening fantasies at the same time!
Deadprez: The follow-up is merciless as the targeting continues, dragged back up from the canvas with no hesitation!
Eve: Lifting phase initiated, center of gravity completely compromised, and there it is!… LIFTING REVERSE DDT PLANTS HER FLUSH TO THE MAT! DARYL GOT HER!
Gavin Kirkland: That was devastating, and I hate how much I enjoyed watching that impact!
Deadprez: The cover follows immediately, hooked and pressed down with authority! This could very well be the turning point for Kinkade!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: Another kick out from Harper Lee! That was close, but not close enough and THANKFULLY so, I might add! The world is not ready to lose that level of perfection just yet!
Deadprez: On the outside, movement through the wreckage as Brianna Hill rolls over the shattered remains of the commentary table, pushing herself up from the rubble and trying to reenter the ring with pure resolve!
Eve: Awareness is critical here! Reaching for the apron, trying to regain vertical base, but the timing is intercepted immediately! The Butterfly Queen reacts on instinct, driving an elbow back towards Daryl to halt the advance!
Gavin Kirkland: That was right on cue! Someone had the nerve to lay hands on her and now they’re paying for it! Up she goes, Brianna is climbing high with balance!
Deadprez: Still reeling from the elbow strike for Daryl, the setup is delayed just long enough for altitude to be gained! The intention is clear and the risk is undeniable!
Eve: Commitment to elevation confirmed as Brianna takes the sky high!… DIVING CROSSBODY!-
Deadprez: The trajectory is cut off mid flight, Daryl caught her clean clean with feet perfectly aligned at the center of the ring!
Eve: Base secured and now follows through!… JUMPING REVERSE STO DRIVES BRIANNA STRAIGHT DOWN! Impeccable timing to make for Daryl!
Gavin Kirkland: That STO left Brianna absolutely rattled, driving that beautiful face straight into the canvas! Opportunism kicks in immediately as the grip comes from behind! This could be the pumphandle setup for Hail to the Victor!-
Deadprez: STEP UP ENZUIGIRI FROM A SURGING HARPER LEE! Perfectly timed intervention as the momentum is severed instantly as the follow up is enough to send the target, Daryl Kinkade, collapsing into a seated position against the ropes!
Eve: Excellent situational awareness there!
Deadprez: Communication sparks immediately from Harper Lee as Brianna regains awareness, locking eyes and redirecting attention with urgency from the apron!
Eve: CLEAR INSTRUCTION BEING RELAYED WITH BRIANNA GOES IN… HOTLINE CONNECTS FLUSH AND SENDS DARYL REELING!
Gavin Kirkland: That Tiger Feint Kick snaps him off the ropes and stumbles him straight back inside! And Kinkade turns right into disaster!… HOUSE OF BALLOONS CONNECTS! THE BACKSTABBER FOLDS HIM CLEAN IN HALF!
Deadprez: A catastrophic chain of events unfolds in seconds, and now the cover from Lee on Daryl is being sought with haste-
Gavin Kirkland: THE CAT’S PAW!!!! PANDORA JUST ERUPTED OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT A MASSIVE SUPERKICK STRAIGHT INTO THE JAW!
Eve: IMMEDIATE CAPITALIZATION FOLLOWS! THE COVER IS HOOKED TIGHTLY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: THREE- NO WAIT! INTERRUPTION AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT BY BRIANNA HILL!
Deadprez: The extraction is violent as Pandora is hauled upright by her and cinched tightly for something ominous…
Gavin Kirkland: THIS LOOKS LIKE THE GRUDGE! THE TIGER DRIVER!-
Deadprez: BUT THE TIGER DRIVER ATTEMPT IS COUNTERED MID MOTION! PAISLEY’S WEIGHT IS OVERSHOT AND THE LEGS SWING THROUGH!… HURRICANRANA WHIPS HILL STRAIGHT DOWN INSTEAD!
Eve: Impact dispersal sends Brianna rolling through and scrambling back up! Now, Pandora’s Instinct takes over as balance is recovered just enough to brace for what follows!
Gavin Kirkland: Momentum surges back instantly! Off the ropes she goes, Pandora explodes forward!… FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION! THE CURB STOMP PUTS BRIANNA HILL OUT!
Deadprez: THAT MAY VERY WELL SEAL IT! PANDORA COLLAPSES INWARD WITH FULL BODY WEIGHT APPLIED ON BRIANNA!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: AND THE CHAMPION BREAKS IT ALL UP! WHAT A NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH WE ARE WITNESSING RIGHT NOW!
Crowd: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Gavin Kirkland: Moment was seized and held tight for Pandora, and then stolen away in a heartbeat! That was perfection interrupted, and it is going to be a long, agonizing road before we find out who the rightful winner of this beautiful chaos truly is!
Eve: Recovery is immediate despite the damage! Paisley returns to her vertical base, pushing through pain while recognizing urgency! Speed is reapplied with full commitment and the acceleration is undeniable. Now charging with intent… LOOKING FOR THE LOVE TAP KNEE STRIKE ON LEE!
Deadprez: The Velocity is redirected at the last possible second by Lee with legs elevate and the momentum carries through! A tight victory roll by Lee spins her clean through and she pops straight back to her feet!… INTO A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP DRIVEN DIRECTLY INTO PANDORA’S MIDSECTION!
Gavin Kirkland: That Superkick earlier clearly struck a nerve and she is absolutely not pleased with how Pandora delivers it! And honestly, Harper always looks dangerously cute when she’s furious!
Eve: That is a wildly inappropriate observation in the middle of combat, Gavin! Focus matters here! Resilience is on full display as she pushes through the shock! Pandora is still clutching the midsection from that double foot stomp and full velocity is reengaged!… LEAPS OVER THE BACK AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!-
Deadprez: AND A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM DARYL KINAKDE LANDS FLUSH AND SENDS LEE CRASHING DOWN BEFORE AWARENESS CAN EVEN RECALIBRATE SOON AS SHE TAKES PANDORA DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Back up she goes. Kinkade’s control is reasserted with the damage is clearly taxing, but the will to press forward is undeniable for Daryl Kinkade!
Eve: That exchange created just enough breathing room! Recovery is immediate on the outside of the engagement as the opening presents itself for Brianna Hill! Clean pull from Brianna onto Daryl, and now the attempt transitions into a back suplex setup!
Gavin Kirkland: Sharp elbows from Daryl rain down without mercy on Brianna here! Precision strikes break the grip and force separation before anything further can develop-
(CRASH!)
Deadprez: OH NO!
Eve: INCOMING AT FULL PACE FOR THE SHOTGUN DROPKICK FROM HARPER LEE BUT THE ANGLE IS MISREAD! DARYL AVPODS AT THE LAST SECOND AND THE COLLISION REDIRECTS VIOLENTLY INTO HER OWN PARTNER, BRIANNA HILL, INSTEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: That is a catastrophic misfire! No time to process regret though for Harper Lee, survival instincts must take over immediately-
Deadprez: A SUDDEN CHARGE FOLLOWS AS DARYL IS LOOKING TO FOLD HER WITH BOW DOWN TO THE KING-
Gavin Kirkland: Just barely avoids disaster! Daryl’s momentum carries forward and the stumble leaves him exposed near the ropes! Focus sharpens, and Harper, with the spee,d reapplied instantly!
Eve: Lee is forced over the ropes, but balance is preserved on the apron! Daryl, with a follow up attempt, is anticipated!… STEP UP ENZUIGIRI FROM LEE WITH ROPE ASSISTANCE SENDS KINKADE CRASHING BACK INSIDE!
Deadprez: Kinkade is stunned but refusing to stall with Lee’s instinct overrides hesitation as the opening is seized!… SLINGSHOT SPEAR DRIVES KINKADE DOWN HARD WITH EXPLOSIVE COMMITMENT-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, BUT PANDORA WAS JUST PLANTED WITH THAT SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB, AND NOW SHE IS ON THE SECOND ROPE, PUTTING EVERYTHING BEHIND IT, LEAPING TO THE TOP WHILE LEE TRIES TO COVER UP… AND PANDORA COMES DOWN WITH THE PRICE TAG!-
Eve: NO, THAT WAS MISTIMED! THE DIVING ELBOW HITS THE MAT, AND PANDORA CRASHES DOWN ON HER OWN ELBOW! LEE GOT OUT OF THE WAY! THAT IMPACT COMPROMISED THE JOINT IMMEDIATELY, AND LEE SAW IT RIGHT AWAY! SHE STAYS CALM, ROLLS BEHIND AND ISOLATES THE ARM… JOURNEY’S END IS APPLIED! CHICKENWING OVER THE SHOULDER INTO THE CROSSFACE! THE ARM IS TRAPPED, AND THE SPINE IS TWISTED! PANDORA HAS NOWHERE TO MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: I hate to say it, but that gorgeous elbow just cost her, and Lee is cranking it in tight right now. This is bad, really bad!
Deadprez: The Crossface is cinched in deep and control has shifted decisively once again! The torque is doing catastrophic work on the neck and shoulder right now!
Eve: Pandora is attempting to crawl toward daylight, but the resistance is absolute here! There is no margin being conceded, no hesitation at all, and the intent is painfully clear!
Gavin Kirkland: And at the same time, Brianna Hill is stirring back to life on the canvas! Slowly rising, eyes locked in, spotting the opening! She darts forward with sudden ferocity and comes flying in from the blindside!… BASEMENT DROPKICK! EVERYTHING EXPLODES AND THAT HOLD IS OBLITERATED!
Deadprez: Important reminder here that no one in this match is interested in altruism or alliances. Every elitist wants to walk out with gold and nobody is sacrificing their ambition for Harper Lee or anyone else!
Gavin Kirkland: That kick landed flush and it rattled her badly! Recovery is sluggish but the balance is compromised, and the timing could not be worse!… BREAKTHROUGH! BREAKTHROUGH! A RUNNING ENZUIGIRI CRACKS HARPER LEE RIGHT IN THE FACE AND DROPS HER FLAT!
Deadprez: BRIANNA HILL SHOWS SOME INSTINCTS HERE! SHE SLIPS PAST KINKADE BEFORE INTERFERENCE CAN FULLY MATERIALIZE AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE IN AN INSTANT! A NECESSARY RESET!
Gavin Kirkland: DOWN GOES THE DISTRACTION, AND I AM TELLING YOU THIS IS BEAUTIFUL CHAOS! BRIANNA WASTES NO TIME AT ALL, LAUNCHING HERSELF ONTO THE FALLEN HARPER LEE AND HOOKS THE LEG WITH URGENCY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Eve: AND TWO! PANDORA BARELY MANAGES TO RECOVER IN TIME AND DIVES IN AT THE ABSOLUTE LAST HEARTBEAT TO BREAK THE PINFALL! MILLISECONDS AWAY FROM CATASTROPHE! BRIANNA HILL IS VISIBLY INCREDULOUS, COMPLETELY STUNNED BY HOW NARROWLY VICTORY SLIPPED THROUGH HER FINGERS!
Deadprez: That victory was resting in the palm of her hand, but Pandora forced herself through pure defiance to rupture the count and preserve her own aspirations! The timing alone tells you how razor thin the margin was!
Gavin Kirkland: Watching her drag herself upright right now is almost hypnotic! Still unsteady, still smoldering, and reaching out to grab Brianna Hill like she sees prey in front of her!… BUT THE MOMENT SHE LIFTS HER UP, PANDORA GETS ABSOLUTELY LIT UP BY A FEROCIOUS CHOP FROM BRIANNA!
Eve: That strike from Brianna disrupted her center of gravity immediately and it sends Pandora reeling straight into the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER AS THE ANSWER COMES BACK JUST AS VICIOUS FROM PANDORA! ANOTHER CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST AND YOU CAN HEAR THAT CRACK FROM RINGSIDE! AND NOW THE TENSION SNAPS COMPLETELY! HERE WE GO! BOTH WOMEN STANDING THEIR GROUND AND UNLOADING IN A FULL BLOWN CHOP EXCHANGE!
(CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!)
Deadprez: Momentum has begun to tilt as the opening is exploited and those chops from Pandora Paisley keep landing with increasing malice! Each chop compounds the damage and sends Brianna Hill staggering further back under the accumulation!
Eve: Retreat becomes the only option there and it funnels her dangerously close to the ropes! An attempt is made by Pandora to whip Brianna back across, but the ropes are seized by her instinctively and there is a last second effort to drag the aggressor into danger instead!
Gavin Kirkland: KICK TO THE GUY BY HILL! Spinning around into a sudden kick right to the midsection, and that nearly folds her in half! Pandora’s knee suddenly buckles, and the chance opens up immediately! A quick burst of speed from Hill sends her sprinting past as the ropes rebound and the target stumbles straight toward the center-
Eve: SAMOAN DROP OUT OF NOWHERE AND THAT ONE PLANTS HILL ON THE RING GROUND! Textbook counter from Pandora and a clear demonstration of situational awareness!
(Pandora finishes off Brianna Hill and turns around…. only to see Daryl Kinkade restrained by Harper Lee, being held upright as she shouts at Pandora with icy severity.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) This is your chance. Work with me.
(Daryl struggles, but an abrupt elbow is driven into the side of his head to silence the resistance, all while unblinking eyes remain locked on Pandora. Hesitation washes over her face, doubt creeping in.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) COME ON! STOP WASTING TIME! YOU WANT TO DO THIS FOR THE FAMILY, RIGHT? GIVE ME A HELPING HAND!
Gavin Kirkland: Is this really happening right now?! Is Pandora about to decide the fate of this entire disaster?! Is she actually going to join in?!
(Pandora pauses, conflicted, weighing the moment…..)
Pandora Paisley: (Off-Mic) …. FINE.
Deadprez: Wait a second, did she just agree to that?!
Gavin Kirkland: That sure sounds like a green light, Prez! She finally prioritizes the order of things and sees the bigger picture! Doing it for Silas World! Daryl is still suspended in mid air and Harper Lee is struggling to keep control!
Eve: He is completely compromised right now, and the situation has spiraled beyond strategy! Pandora stepping in here could end everything in an instant!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE SHE COMES! LEG LIFTED HIGH AND FULL SPEED AHEAD!… PANDORA’S BOX-
(… But Daryl violently twists free at the last second and throws himself out of the trajectory!)
Eve: OH MY GOD, WATCH IT!
(Pandora halts just in time, narrowly avoiding Harper Lee. Lee recoils in shock and drops to the ground, eyes wide. Pandora is just as stunned too.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! YOU ALMOST TOOK MY HEAD OFF! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!
(Lee scrambles back to her feet in a fury and shoves Pandora hard. Pandora stumbles back, visibly irritated, and the two lock eyes as the argument ignites.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off-Mic) Darling, I did exactly what I was supposed to do. If you cannot hold onto a stronger man, maybe that says more about your weak arms than my execution!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) That is your excuse for incompetence?!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, this is getting ugly fast! Come on ladies, fix it! Hug it out! Anything! If I were running Silas Worl,d this kind of mess would never fly!
Eve: Emotions have completely overridden discipline now! Any advantage this team had has evaporated into pure dysfunction! This is unraveling in real time!
Deadprez: Hold on, take a look behind them! What is Brianna Hill doing?!
(SHOVE!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?! FROM BEHIND! SHE SHOVES PANDORA STRAIGHT INTO HARPER LEE! HEADS COLLIDE AND BOTH OF THEM CRASH TO THE OUTSIDE AT THE SAME TIME!
Eve: THIS IS STAGGERING! WE CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST UNFOLDED! THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE JUST COLLAPSED IN A SINGLE MOMENT!
Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE IS BACK TO HIS FEET NOW, STILL PROCESSING THE WRECKAGE AROUND HIM, AND SUDDENLY REALIZES HE IS ALONE IN THE RING WITH BRIANNA HILL! THE CHAOS OUTSIDE HAS EVAPORATED AND THIS HAS INSTANTLY BECOME A ONE ON ONE CONFRONTATION!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA PAISLEY AND HARPER LEE ARE BOTH WIPED OUT ON THE FLOOR AND THIS IS THE OPENING OF A LIFETIME! OPPORTUNITY IS SCREAMING RIGHT NOW! A SUDDEN BURST OF SPEED AND A FULL SPRINT FORWARD!… HITS DIFFERENT FROM BRIANNA!
Eve: THAT CHARGE WAS SCOUTED AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! THE SHINING WIZARD MISSES CLEAN, MOMENTUM CARRIES HER THROUGH, AND THE RECOVERY IS QUICK! BACK TO HER FEET, BUT KINKADE LAUNCHES HIMSELF FROM THE SECOND ROPE!… DKO-
Deadprez: THAT WAS MEANT TO BE THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER, BUT AWARENESS IS RAZOR SHARP ON BOTH SIDES! THE TIMING JUST BARELY OFF AND THE COUNTER WINDOW STAYS OPEN!
Gavin Kirkland: BARELY LANDS ON HIS FEET AND SOMEHOW KEEPS BALANCE! HILL WASTES NO TIME, DARTS RIGHT BACK IN, COILS AROUND THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS, AND STARTS THREADING THAT TRANSITION! SHE IS HUNTING FOR THE OCTOPUS STRETCH!… BRIANNA WANTS SANGUINE PARADISE!
Eve: THE POSITIONING IS NEARLY PERFECT, BUT RESISTANCE IS FIERCE! SHE IS TRYING TO ISOLATE THE ARM AND TORQUE THE SPINE, YET KINKADE IS STILL GROUNDED ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE LEVERAGE! THAT CRAWLING ADJUSTMENT IS METICULOUS, ALMOST ARACHNID IN ITS PRECISION!
Gavin Kirkland: YOU CAN SEE HIM DIGGING DEEP NOW, EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH BEING SUMMONED! MUSCLES TENSE, POSTURE SHIFTING, AND SHE IS HAULED UPWARD INCH BY INCH! THAT GRIP AROUND THE NECK TIGHTENS AS HE STARTS TO LIFT HER BODILY OFF THE CANVAS!
Deadprez: Her entire body is trembling under the strain, spine bending across the shoulder, arms still hooked in place!… WAIT! THE SETUP IS FAMILIAR AND DANGEROUS! HE IS TRYING TO CONVERT THAT DEFENSE… INTO MISERY LOVES COMPANY-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE SLIPS FREE AT THE LAST HEARTBEAT! BRIANNA LANDS ON HER FEET AND YANKS HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! NOW INSTANTLY POPPING BACK UP, BRIANNA CHARGING FULL THROTTLE FOR THE CLOTHESLINE-
Eve: THE RUNNING STRIKE IS AVOIDED AND CONTROL IS SEIZED MID MOTION! THE ARM IS CAPTURED AND TWISTED STRAIGHT INTO POSITION-
(BANG!)
Eve: RIPCORD BOW DOWN TO THE KINK! WHAT A DEVASTATING VARIATION! THE HIDDEN BLADE ELBOW DETONATES FLUSH AND BRIANNA HILL COLLAPSES INSTANTLY!
Deadprez: THIS IS CHAOS DISTILLED! KINKADE HOOKS THE ARM, WASTES NO MOTION, AND PULLS HER BACK UP FOR THE SECOND STRIKE! THIS COULD BE DECISIVE!… MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!! STORMBREAKER CONNECTS AND BRIANNA HILL IS COMPLETELY OUT!!!!!!!!
Eve: IMMEDIATE COVER BY DARYL! OUTSIDE CHAOS STILL UNFOLDING AS THE OTHERS SCRAMBLE, BUT TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY FAST! THIS COULD BE THE END OF IT ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: NO NO NO, STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! NOT LIKE THIS! NOT AFTER EVERYTHING!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Eve: Harper Lee and Pandora Paisley are sprinting back in at the exact same moment, desperation written all over their movements! They are trying to break this up at any cost! Kinkade is seconds away from victory, but is intervention even mathematically possible now?!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Both of them slide into the ring and immediately lunge toward Daryl! The margins are microscopic and the timing could not be tighter!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THEY BREAK IT UP!
(….)
(….)
(….)
(…. But it is too late. Referee’s hand has already struck the mat and the three count is official and the crowd erupts in absolute bedlam!)
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: ## HERE IS YOUR WINNER!…. AND… NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW….. EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!…. DARYLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!… KINKADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘New Devil’ by Asking Alexandria detonates through the arena as shock washes across the faces of Harper Lee and Pandora Paisley, forced to watch history unfold while the crowd explodes in celebration for the newly crowned champion.)
Eve: OH MY GOD! DARYL KINKADE HAS DONE IT! AGAIN! TWO TIMES! TWO TIMES! THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP IS BACK WHERE IT BELONGS AFTER YEARS OF GRIT, EXILE, AND UNRELENTING PERSEVERANCE! DARYL KINKADE IS THE CHAMPION ONCE MORE!
Deadprez: The Kink of Elite stands atop the mountain again after an odyssey of punishment and patience! This was earned through attrition, precision, and resilience! History finally aligns in his favor and the crown rests where the numbers said it eventually would!
Gavin Kirkland: I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS BRITISH BASTARD IS THE CHAMPION! WHY HARPER LEE WHY?! YOU WERE SO CLOSE! YOU ALWAYS LOOK AMAZING DOING IT TOO! WHY WOULD YOU ARGUE AT THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENT POSSIBLE?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
(Gavin Kirkland is visibly unraveling at the desk, not from Kinkade’s victory, but from the crushing realization that his beloved Harper Lee has once again fallen short, and it is absolutely destroying him.)
Eve: A new champion has been crowned tonight and with it comes the definitive closing chapter on Silas World’s grip over the National Elite Championship! Congratulations to Daryl Kinkade for years of pursuit, recalibration, and refusal to fade away! He can rightfully call himself champion once again!
(Daryl Kinkade slowly stirs from the aftermath, his theme still echoing as the crowd responds in a way rarely afforded to him. Faces that once scowled now acknowledge the magnitude of the moment. His expression is vacant, almost disbelieving, as if suspended between reality and a long deferred dream until the referee approaches to present him with the EAW National Elite Championship. Daryl quickly snatches it from their grasp and looks down at it in beautiful shock. After all these years, after the crushing failures he was forced to endure, the jokes and doubts cast upon his accent and his worth, the endless years of being overlooked and undermined, watching opportunities handed to people he could never outpace or outmuscle… he has finally reached the finish line. For the first time, he can say he is at peace. He is the champion again. Daryl Kinkade is the champion, and more importantly, a two-time National Elite Champion. Hard work has paid off, and in the words of Zlatan Ibrahimović; believe in hard work, not luck.)
Deadprez: This is the kind of moment statistics cannot fully capture, but the numbers still matter! Two reigns, separated by years of attrition and reinvention! This is not a fluke or a footnote, this is endurance rewarded! The chase is over and a new chapter opens for the Kink of Elite to reaffirm exactly who he has always been!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee, man… I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE! MY HEART CANNOT ENDURE THIS KIND OF CRUELTY!… and what is HE doing here?
(Approaching through the crowd is Silas Mason, visibly seething as he takes in the sight of Daryl Kinkade celebrating his championship victory inside the ring. The title is raised high with one hand, posture calm and assured, a man entirely at ease with what he has earned. After a moment, Daryl steps away from the ring, continuing his measured celebration toward the aisle, savoring every second of this triumph as Silas Mason storms past the commentary table and closes in on ringside.)
Eve: This reaction says everything! Silas Mason is absolutely incensed by the result and his presence here suggests unfinished business and anything plans Silas World had tonight, they have completely unraveled!
Deadprez: I have to admit, considering how grating they can be at times, there is something oddly satisfying about seeing him this genuinely furious since Pain for Pride! Credit where it is due, that frustration was earned fair and square. Well done, Daryl!
(Harper Lee is seething, fury etched across her face. Pandora Paisley remains seated against the ropes, stunned and hollow-eyed, both of them watching helplessly as Daryl Kinkade disappears with the championship. On the outside, Silas Mason, having exhausted his tantrum, finally exhales and composes himself before stepping toward the ring with visible dissatisfaction.)
Eve: This is the aftermath laid bare! Silas World has completely lost its grip on the National Elite Championship, and Harper Lee’s reign has ended in unison with the rest of it! Brianna Hill is still down after the damage she absorbed earlier, and this scene feels eerily final!
(Brianna Hill slowly stirs, groggy and disoriented, clutching her head as she struggles upright. The disappointment is unmistakable. Silas Mason enters the ring
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) … sighs
(….and offers her a hand.)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) It is not your fault, kid. You wanted this as much as any of us. You fought for it. Tonight we failed together.
(Brianna Hill looks up, silent for a moment.)
Brianna Hill: (Off-Mic) You are right, Silas.
(Pandora Paisley and Harper Lee step closer, looming as Brianna takes Silas Mason’s hand. Together they help her to her feet, the image suggesting unity restored as Silas World regroups.)
Gavin Kirkland: Not the prettiest picture, but hey, at least Silas World is still together! I get to keep seeing this trio moving as one! That is a win for me and my eyes! I am satisfied!
Eve: On the surface it looks like composure has returned, but history tells us that tension like this does not simply evaporate after a loss.
Silas Mason: || (Off-Mic) whispers Do it. ||
(CRACK!)
Eve: OH MY GOD!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!
(Brianna Hill collapses instantly… AS PANDORA PAISLEY DRILLS HER WITH A VICIOUS RIGHT HOOK!)
Deadprez: PANDORA, WHAT HAVE YOU JUST DONE?!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE STOMPING HER INTO THE CANVAS WHILE SILAS MASON JUST STANDS THERE WATCHING WITHOUT A SHRED OF MERCY! THIS IS DISGUSTING! IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!
Eve: IT IS HAPPENING! BRIANNA HILL IS BEING DISMANTLED IN COLD BLOOD!
(Silas Mason steps forward, looming over Brianna Hill, barely conscious. Mason yanks her up by the chin and glares down at her.)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) You snake! You traitor! You dare rot a family from the inside! A wretched thing like you has NO PLACE in MY WORLD!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE BACKHANDS HER! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN?!
Eve: Both arms are seized now! Harper Lee restrains her as Pandora Paisley rebounds off the ropes!… FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION! EVEN MORE VICIOUS THAN BEFORE! SWEET DREAMS HITS AND THAT IS IT!
Deadprez: This has gone completely out of control!
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely undeserved! I cannot stand that slimy old bastard!
(Silas Mason surveys the wreckage with satisfaction. He places a hand on Pandora Paisley’s shoulder and the other on Harper Lee’s, aligning them beside him as the crowd rains down deafening boos. The image of Silas World standing tall over Brianna Hill burns into memory as Road to Redemption fades into a commercial on a horrifying note.)
(Commercial for air fryers plays as Jake Smith gives detailed analysis on how to cook an entire steak in one of them without fucking it up.)
(Road to Redemption fades back in and the graphic for the next matchup appears on the screen.)

Bella Braxton: The following is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac is first to hit the speakers and the crowd unleashes a massive ovation as TLA emerges from the back, taking center stage. He extends his arms out and pyro shoots out from the skies. TLA grins, taking in the ovation from the crowd and he tags many fans on his way down the ramp. There’s a calm expression on the face of the challenger, who has been on this stage many times in his career. He swings into the ring and climbs the middle rope, beating his chest and calling on for the energy of the fans.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, weighing in at 210 pounds, residing in The Poon Palace in Miami, Florida, he is “LA PANTERA SEXUAL”… TTTTTTTTT—LLLLLLLL—AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA has held that Hardcore Championship in the past, and it was two years ago at this very event that he had it snatched away from him in the Extreme Elimination Chamber when Roberto De La Rosa cashed in his 24/7 Contract on him while he was in pursuit of the EAW Championship. The circumstances are wildly different tonight, and TLA is as focused as he’ll ever be to win that Hardcore Championship.
Thadd Blazevich: At Wicked Games last month, TLA was this close to becoming four-time World Champion in Mexico when he took on Adam Lucas, and it was Dr. Bethany Blue who showed up to ensure that her husband would leave with the EAW World Championship still in his possession, which helped bring us to where we are tonight.
Persephone: These two have been at each other’s necks for weeks, but tonight TLA looks very relaxed and part of me is feeling like he’s already throwing in the towel tonight.
Rich Russillo: What the hell made you come to that conclusion?!
Persephone: I’m just calling it how I see it.
(As TLA’s theme fades out, the support turns to furious boos when ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen hits next and Dr. Bethany Blue marches out from the back, wearing the EAW Hardcore Championship around her waist. She extends her arms out, spinning around as the pyro shoots into the sky, and she marches down the ramp, glaring at TLA with hatred in her eyes. She slides into the ring and unhooks the Hardcore Championship, raising it proudly in the center of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: His opponent, weighing in at 125 pounds, from Boca Raton, Florida, she is the EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION… DR! BETHANYYYYY! BLUUUEEEEEEE!!!
Thadd Blazevich: It goes without saying that Dr. Bethany Blue has been an amazing Hardcore Champion, bro. Since winning the championship at Grand Rampage, Bethany hasn’t looked back since, and Voltage has been run by both her and Adam Lucas at the same time. They’ve even defended their championships in the same match together—it is almost going to take a herculean effort in order for someone to pry that championship away from her, but if anyone’s capable of it, bro? It’s TLA.
Persephone: Sure, but Bethany has shown that she’ll stoop to any level whatsoever in order to hold on to that championship. If TLA’s life needs to be at risk for her to retain the Hardcore Championship? She’ll do it.
Rich Russillo: Unfortunately, I have to agree with you there. We’ve seen Bethany’s ruthless side many times in the past, including on the EAW World Champion himself. But tonight is going to be a massive test, not just for TLA, but for Bethany as well. I know a lot of people have been looking forward to this one, myself included. You can just feel the energy change in the building.
Thadd Blazevich: And now the referee takes the Hardcore Championship and raises it up, I got goosebumps, bro!
(DING DING DING!)
Rich Russillo: The Hardcore Championship is up for grabs in this bout between two absolute legends and—OH MY GOD!
Thadd Blazevich: NO TIME WASTED FROM TLA, AS HE SOARS INTO A SHOTGUN DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! DR. BETHANY BLUE HAS NO CLUE WHAT JUST HIT HER BRO, AND THE BACK OF HER HEAD BOUNCES OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES! THE HARDCORE CHAMPION IS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO RECOVER–
Rich Russillo: But she may be making the wrong decision as she rolls out of the ring, and TLA is exiting to the apron! He climbs the top rope and steadies himself, meanwhile Bethany is beginning to rise to her feet and look up…
Persephone: TLA TRAMPLES HER WITH A MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP ROPE! PLEASE GOD, IF THAT’S IT! LET IT BE IT!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE’S OUT, BRO! I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE IT! TLA DRAGS BETHANY UP AND THROWS HER INTO THE RING! WE MAY BE LOOKING AT A NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!
Rich Russillo: TLA went into this one with a lot to prove and he’s certainly on his way there! He slides in, stomping his foot on the canvas, hungrily waiting for Bethany to make her way up to her feet! The Hardcore Champion is completely lost and dazed right now, as he immediately kicks her in the ribs!
Persephone: He digs her head into his thighs, calling for the ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’, just DO IT already, you idiot—
Thadd Blazevich: NOOOO BRO! BACK BODY DROP FROM BETHANY! She staggers to the turnbuckles, in complete disbelief at the hunger that TLA just displayed right there! She’s quickly rising to her feet, looking to take advantage and bring this one back into her favor…
Rich Russillo: BUT AS SHE COMES IN, TLA WITH A DROP TOE HOLD INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! BETHANY’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE BUCKLES AGAIN! And now TLA is back up, and he DROPKICKS HER INTO THE ROPES! BETHANY GOES THROAT-FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Thadd Blazevich: HE’S DIALING IT UP, BRO!
Rich Russillo: TLA COMES OFF THE ROPES, AIMING FOR ‘315!’ HE’S ABOUT TO SEND HIS FEET DIRECTLY INTO THE SKULL OF BETHANY–
Persephone: HAHAHAHA! BETHANY PUNCHES HIM RIGHT IN THE DICK AS HE HANGS ON TO THE ROPES! TLA falls to the ringside floor and he holds at his groin in agony! He had one fucking job!
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, Bethany is back up to her feet and she sees TLA about to rise…! She leaps through the middle ropes, with a WRECKING BALL DROPKICK! TLA goes crashing into the edge of our announce table, and he crumbles to the floor!
Persephone: If they come over here, I’m throwing you in the way.
Rich Russillo: What?!
Persephone: Not you, Thadd. I’m sure he can handle himself.
Thadd Blazevich: I don’t know about that one, bro! If they come over this table, I’m absolutely getting out the way, and here comes Bethany! She drags TLA up and SLAMS his face off of the announce table cover! Bro, you can see an imprint of TLA’s face marked on there!
Rich Russillo: That’s the viciousness that made her the Hardcore Champion in the first place, but TLA’s pace tonight has been absolutely special to see thus far. Bethany grabs his head and SMASHES it off again!
Persephone: I’ll admit, I love to get such a close-up view of TLA being battered! Now if she could move him away just a bit, that’d be lovely. His sweat is already flying all over us. :yikes:
Thadd Blazevich: Clearly, TLA is out on his feet, bro. He staggers backwards and Bethany grabs him by the wrist, using ALL of her power to launch him across the ringside area with an IRISH WHIP INTO THE BARRICADES—
Rich Russillo: WOAH! TLA LEAPS UP TO THE TOP OF THE BARRICADE! BETHANY CAN’T BELIEVE IT, AS SHE CHARGES IN! ANOTHER MOONSAULT FROM TLA, THIS TIME FROM THE BARRICADE ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! BETHANY IS OUT OF IT! AND TLA IS FIRED THE HELL UP!
Persephone: WHAT THE HELL IS HE ON TONIGHT?! SOMEONE DRUG TEST HIM!
Thadd Blazevich: That’s no drugs, bro, that’s straight PASSION! TLA is fired the hell up and he digs underneath the ring apron skirt, grabbing our first weapon of the night and it’s an old fashioned steel chair, bro! Bethany doesn’t have the slightest clue of where she’s at right now!
Rich Russillo: You’ve got that right! She’s crawling towards the ring post, with no clue that TLA is waiting on her with a steel chair! SHE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK OUT—
Persephone: TLA SWINGS THAT STEEL CHAIR RIGHT INTO HER SKULL! AND IT’S GONNA BOUNCE INTO THE POST!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT INSTINCTS KICK IN AND BETHANY DUCKS JUST IN TIME! THE STEEL CHAIR MAKES CONTACT WITH THE STEEL POST, AND THE VIBRATION JOLTS THROUGH THE FINGERS OF TLA! He drops the chair, shaking his hand out in pain! Bethany may have not intended to hurt TLA but that was perfect timing, you can’t deny it!
Rich Russillo: And with the chair down on the ground, Bethany quickly charges over and hooks TLA by the head—SNAP DDT ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR! GOODNESS! AND JUST LIKE THAT, SHE TAKES THE ADVANTAGE RIGHT BACK INTO HER FAVOR!
Persephone: That could’ve knocked TLA clean out, and you know what?! Serves him right! Bethany is holding at her back in agony, both from it making contact with the edge of the chair and her falling down onto the floor.
Rich Russillo: You have to admire how far these two are willing to go just to leave tonight as the Hardcore Champion. Bethany is up to her feet and she drags TLA up, throwing him into the ring.
Thadd Blazevich: TLA is in a bad way right now, bro. And he had the champ on the ropes, but that’s why she’s the champ, bro! Bethany rolls in the ring with that chair and she places it into a seating position.
Persephone: Not like she can sit down, TLA’s big ass head already left a dent in it.
Rich Russillo: Bethany mockingly sends a boot to the side of TLA’s head, and he grits his teeth. He reaches up for her, but she sends another boot to the side of his head, and his body begins to falter.
Persephone: She circles around the ring, continuing to throw mocking boots to his skull, but please, just end our misery. We’ll be here all night if you allow TLA to keep fighting—fucker doesn’t know how to quit.
Rich Russillo: … That’s probably one of the nicest things that you’ve ever said about him.
Thadd Blazevich: Dr. Bethany Blue wants to kill tonight, bro. She grabs TLA by the head and she places it on the chair! NO WAY, BRO! BETHANY HITS OFF THE ROPES, AIMING IN! ‘CONCUSSION PROTOCOL’—
(CRAS—)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) AAAAHHHHHHH!!! FFUUUCCCKKKKKK!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! AND BETHANY JUST DROVE HER SIZE 8 BOOT DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL CHAIR! AND SHE MIGHT HAVE ROLLED HER ANKLE IN THE PROCESS!
Persephone: THE STATE OF THAT STEEL CHAIR RIGHT NOW! AND—WHY IS TLA STILL GOING FOR IT?!
Thadd Blazevich: Because he don’t give a shit, bro! TLA pulls the steel chair up to his feet and Bethany is raising her hands up in protest, because she’s trying to diagnose the effects of her ankle in real time—
Rich Russillo: IT SEEMS LIKE TLA IS GOING TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS! HE SLAMS THAT STEEL CHAIR DOWN ON THE ANKLE OF BETHANY! IT’S NOT EVEN FOLDED! TLA IS SLAMMING DOWN THE CHAIR ON THE ANKLE OF BETHANY AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT!
Persephone: SHE TRIES TO COVER HER ANKLE BY PLACING HER HAND AROUND IT—
Thadd Blazevich: SO HE SMASHES HER FINGERS INSTEAD, BRO! GOOD GOD! BETHANY ROLLS AWAY AND SHE CLUTCHES AT HER FINGERS IN AGONY! THEY’RE LITERALLY TWITCHING!
Rich Russillo: ONCE AGAIN, THIS MATCH HAS TRANSFORMED TREMENDOUSLY! TLA TRIES HIS HARDEST TO FOLD THAT BENT CHAIR AND HE WALKS TOWARDS BETHANY LIKE A MAN POSSESSED—
Persephone: Only for Bethany to drive her ENTIRE body into a headbutt! DOWN GOES TLA, AND BETHANY FALLS INTO THE ROPES AS WELL! I’m surprised one headbutt was all it took for TLA!
Thadd Blazevich: The state of Bethany right now, bro! She falls to her fours and rolls out of the ring, but as she tries to stand on that ankle, she crumbles to a kneel. This isn’t good, bro, not at all.
Rich Russillo: Not at all, but TLA is staring up at the lights right now, and that is a fantastic sign for Bethany. She digs underneath the ring… and she’s got a BARBED WIRE BOARD?! Bethany takes the board and she rolls it into the ring, quickly following in afterwards.
Thadd Blazevich: Bethany grabs the ropes and uses the board to help herself and it stands at once, slowly staggering forward and pushing it against the turnbuckle. I don’t know how she’s standing right now, bro.
Persephone: Oh hell no, she BETTER TURN AROUND—
Rich Russillo: SPEAR FROM TLA INTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BETHANY DIVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! AND TLA BARELY STOPS HIMSELF FROM CRASHING INTO IT!
Persephone: BETHANY GRABS HIM BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND SLAMS HIS HEAD INTO THE BARBED WIRE! YES! CARVE HIS FUCKING FACE IN!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA’s hesitation gave Bethany the chance to take the advantage back, and she’s just raking his face across the barbed wire, bro! GOODNESS! And TLA howls out in agony, as blood is squirting off of his face and onto the board!
Rich Russillo: This is exactly what Bethany wants, she pulls his head back and winds him back, SLAMMING it into the board! TLA is now sprawled out against that barbed wire, and it has to be cutting his body as well! Bethany stumbles backwards, seeing her chance…
Persephone: I love what Bethany is doing to TLA right now, but she can barely stand on her two feet. She’s lost her fucking mind if she really thinks that she can get a strong running start on TLA right now.
Thadd Blazevich: You’ve gotta try, bro! You HAVE to try! AND BETHANY COMES CHARGING IN—
Rich Russillo: TLA TURNS AND POPS HER UP IN THE AIR! HE CATCHES HER AND SPINS AROUND! OH NO! BETHANY IS THROWING PUNCHES TO THE SKULL, DIGGING INTO THAT CUT—
Thadd Blazevich: BUT TLA IS A DOG, BRO! HE DON’T GIVE A FUCK! ‘DESMADRE!!!’ SITOUT POWERBOMB THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE BOARD! HOLY SHIT!
Persephone: I’M SERIOUS NOW! WHAT IS HE MADE OUT OF?! TLA DRAGS BETHANY OUT OF THE WRECKAGE, AND HE COLLAPSES ON TOP OF HER FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: ONLY FOR BETHANY TO THROW HER SHOULDER UP IN TIME! THIS ONE CONTINUES ON, BUT THAT ALONE! FROM THE BEST OF THEM, THAT’S WHAT SEPARATES CHAMPIONS FROM THE REST OF THE PACK!
Thadd Blazevich: Both of them have zero fear! They have no problem risking their body right now, bro! But that took serious amounts of grit from the both of them, bro, TLA has blood coming from his forehead still—Bethany’s back is cut up from the barbed wire, and I don’t even know what to say…
Persephone: TLA is a sick man, that’s all I can say. The sight of his own blood is only going to push him to go even further, and Bethany is without a wheel right now.
Rich Russillo: And now they’re both desperately trying to get up, but Bethany is falling and crumbling all over the place. TLA drags her up by the hair and he’s throwing forearms to the jaw, Bethany staggers into the ropes…!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA charges in and he clotheslines her over the top rope! Bethany can’t even defend herself right now, bro! He exits out of the ring and follows her, looking underneath the ring skirt… I don’t even know if we need more weapons, bro—
Persephone: Of course we do, and WE NEED THEM inflicted on TLA!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know about need—but Bethany quickly rises to her feet and shoves TLA directly into the ring post! She’ll do anything to sway this match back into her favor! Neither of these two can take a long break from the action!
Thadd Blazevich: Absolutely not. TLA is laid out, bro, but Bethany sees what he was digging for underneath the ring… bro… what the hell?
Persephone: That disgusting motherfucker grabbed a cheese grater. A CHEESE GRATER. WHO KEEPS PUTTING THESE UNDER THE RING?!
Rich Russillo: BOTH OF THESE TWO EXPERIENCED THE USE OF A CHEESE GRATER AT THEIR MATCH AT BLOODSPORT, SO IT’S AWFULLY POETIC THAT IT SHOWS UP TONIGHT!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA is trying to rise to his feet, but Bethany snatches a hold of his hair and she raises that cheese grater, GRINDING IT INTO HIS SKIN! OH MY GOD BRO! TLA WAS BLEEDING BEFORE, THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH BLOOD IS ABOUT TO COME OUT RIGHT NOW! SHE’S RAKING IT ACROSS HIS FOREHEAD LIKE SHE’S PLAYING THE GUITAR, AND BLOOD IS GUSHING OUT EVERYWHERE!
Persephone: THOSE FANS IN THE FRONT ROW NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Rich Russillo: JUST LOOK AT THAT SICK DEMENTED SMILE ON THE FACE OF DR. BETHANY BLUE! SHE IS ENJOYING THIS, WHILE TLA IS TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING TO RIP THAT CHEESE GRATER OFF OF HIS FOREHEAD! BUT BETHANY DOESN’T CARE! SHE’S TRYING TO GRIND HIS GODDAMN SKIN OFF!
Thadd Blazevich: BRO ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! SOMEONE STOP THIS! THE CHEESE GRATER IS BEING COVERED RED WITH BLOOD AT THIS POINT!
Rich Russillo: She tosses the cheese grater to the floor, and she drags TLA up to his feet, and there is blood down from his forehead all the way to his chest! She grabs him by the head and she sends him head-first into the steel steps! TLA collapses down, and he’s leaking blood everywhere!
Persephone: I hate to say it, okay, that’s a lie, I love to say it but this is the true proper way to put TLA down! You have to beat him to the brink of death, if not outright kill him.
Thadd Blazevich: As TLA’s head lies against the steel steps, and he sputters blood out all over his chest, he still breathes… and if he’s still breathing, that means Bethany is going to keep going.
Rich Russillo: Bethany drops to a kneeling position and she continues to dig under the ring… until another smile forms on her face. What does she have now?!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE’S GOT TWO CINDERBLOCKS, BRO! TWO CINDERBLOCKS! TLA DOESN’T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE OF WHERE HE’S AT, BUT BETHANY AIMS FOR HIS SKULL…
Persephone: AND SHE THROWS IT DIRECTLY AT HIS HEAD!!!
Rich Russillo: ONLY FOR TLA TO MOVE AT THE LAST SECOND! THE CINDERBLOCK DIDN’T EVEN BREAK OR CRACK! THAT’S HOW HARD IT IS! AND BETHANY TAKES THE OTHER ONE, WINDING BACK!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT TLA PUNCHES HER RIGHT IN THE ABDOMEN! Bethany doubles over and he punches her again! She drops the cinderblock, and now TLA is beating down on her with punches outside the ring!
Persephone: All of those punches are getting to her, and she places herself onto the apron and rolls away, trying to evade TLA’s onslaught! But she’s left him alone with the cinderblocks!
Rich Russillo: TLA takes the both of them and he slides them into the ring! TLA rises to his feet and he picks one cinderblock up, Bethany better look out…
Thadd Blazevich: HE’S GONNA RIP HER HEAD OFF, BRO!!!
Persephone: BETHANY RAISES HER HANDS UP TO CATCH IT AT THE LAST SECOND! BOTH OF THEM ARE FIGHTING OVER THAT CINDERBLOCK!
Rich Russillo: IT’S A STRUGGLE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! THEY’RE BOTH TRYING TO DRIVE THE CINDERBLOCK INTO EACH OTHER’S FACE! I DON’T EVEN THINK TLA CAN SEE! THERE’S BLOOD ALL IN HIS EYES—HE’S JUST AIMING FOR WHERE HE THINKS BETHANY IS!
Thadd Blazevich: SOMEBODY’S GOTTA TAKE ADVANTAGE! BETHANY IS ON THE BACK FOOT, AND TLA IS PRESSING THAT CINDERBLOCK CLOSER TO HER HEAD…
Persephone: KNEE TO THE BODY FROM BETHANY! TLA FALLS TO HIS KNEES! AND BETHANY GRABS THE CINDERBLOCK, SWINGING IT INTO HIS SKULL!
Rich Russillo: NO! TLA TAKES THE OTHER CINDERBLOCK AND HE RAISES IT UP AT THE LAST SECOND TO BLOCK IT! AND THE RESIDUE OF THAT COLLISION FLIES INTO THE EYES OF BETHANY! SHE SCREAMS OUT IN AGONY! SHE CAN’T SEE ANYMORE!
Thadd Blazevich: HOW LUCKY WAS THAT, BRO! BETHANY IS TRYING TO SWIPE AT HER EYES—BUT I THINK SHE’S MAKING IT WORSE FOR HERSELF—
(THUD!)
Persephone: TLA JUST SMASHED THE FUCKING CINDERBLOCK INTO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! DOWN GOES BETHANY! THAT MAY HAVE KNOCKED HER OUT!
Rich Russillo: BUT TLA DOESN’T KNOW WHERE SHE’S AT EITHER! THE BLOOD IS STILL IN HIS EYES! BETHANY IS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ON THE CANVAS!
Thadd Blazevich: HE DIVES TO THE COVER!
Persephone: … BETHANY ISN’T WHERE HE THINKS SHE IS, AND HE JUST ATE THE CANVAS!
Rich Russillo: My god… that sequence alone defines what this match is. Champion and challenger both lie on the canvas, there’s blood all over the canvas, dust on the canvas—and in the eyes of Bethany… someone’s gotta take advantage, and I thought it was gonna be TLA…
Thadd Blazevich: When you’re hurt like this, bro, it changes the complexion of the match entirely. Anyone can take advantage at any given point, and he is giving Bethany a lot of time to recover.
Persephone: TLA is finally starting to come back to life, but Bethany is rolling underneath the bottom rope. He presses his hand over his eye lids, wiping the blood out of his eyes. Should’ve done that earlier. :troll~1:
Rich Russillo: Sometimes it’s hard to think on the fly in situations like this, and TLA crawls after Bethany. She leans against the ropes and he grabs her by the head. He grabs her in a front facelock, trying to suplex her back inside—
Thadd Blazevich: But she wraps her arm around the top rope, bro! She won’t let TLA lift her back up! He clubs the back, and then climbs the middle rope, trying to deadlift her back into the ring!
Persephone: BETHANY STALLS IT WITH ALL OF HER MIGHT! TLA grits his teeth as he tries again, but Bethany grabs TLA by the forearm and she BITES IT! FREE DINNER!
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL?! BETHANY IS DIGGING HER TEETH INTO THE FOREARM OF TLA! AND HE YELPS OUT IN PAIN! Bethany releases TLA, and then she winds her arm back for a MASSIVE ELBOW OFF THE ROPES!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA falls backwards, and Bethany stumbles back into the ring through the middle rope. She grabs onto the barbed wire from the broken board and she starts to rip it off with her bare hands! Does she not feel that cutting her, bro?!
Persephone: I think Bethany has officially become numb to the pain. I called TLA sick earlier, but these are two sick bitches right now.
Rich Russillo: She wraps that barbed wire around her foot, and she waits for TLA to rise to his feet… TLA is still trying to shake out the pain in his forearm, I think he genuinely can’t believe that he got bit—
Thadd Blazevich: NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT, BRO! ‘TJD!’ SHE JUST NAILED HIM WITH THE TJD! SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW, WITH THE BARBED WIRE AROUND THE BOOT! AND TLA GOES DOWN! BETHANY HOOKS THE LEGS QUICKLY!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR—
Persephone: ONLY FOR TLA TO KICK OUT! HOW! I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT?!
Rich Russillo: NO ONE DOES! But so far, the only two pinfall attempts have come from Dr. Bethany Blue! In theory, that has to be a good thing, but TLA isn’t being worn out from these pinfalls!
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, it gets to a point! But Bethany isn’t freaking out over that kickout, it’s almost as if she had another plan! She takes the barbed wire and she throws it to the side, and then she digs into her other boot…
Persephone: AND SHE PULLS A FORK OUT! I WASN’T BEING LITERAL WHEN I SAID FREE DINNER! THIS WOMAN HAS LOST IT!
Rich Russillo: And TLA is TRYING to find his way back up to his feet, but Bethany snatches that forearm she bit earlier and she DRIVES THE FORK INTO IT! OH MY GOD! WHY?!
Thadd Blazevich: THERE IS NO REMORSE IN THE EYES OF DR. BETHANY BLUE RIGHT NOW! SHE IS JABBING THAT FORK DOWN INTO THE FOREARM OF TLA, AND MORE BLOOD IS SPEWING OUT! SHE’S JUST PUNCTURING RIGHT THROUGH THE SKIN!
Persephone: SHE MIGHT SEVER A FUCKING ARTERY!
Rich Russillo: TLA is thrashing around the ring, trying his best to get free from Bethany’s onslaught! And there’s nothing the referee can do! His job tonight is to count the pin and watch for submission! And Bethany raises the fork overhead one last time!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT AT THE LAST SECOND, TLA THROWS HIS LEG UP AND HIS SHIN MAKES CONTACT WITH BETHANY’S HEAD! SHE FALLS BACKWARDS, AND DROPS THE FORK IN THE PROCESS!
Persephone: He’s saved himself for now, but he’s still got blood leaking out of his forearm, and TLA doesn’t know what to do about it so he…
Rich Russillo: He takes his forearm and presses his mouth against it! Have I gone mad?! He’s trying to stop the flow of blood with his mouth!
Persephone: … I don’t think you’re the one that’s gone mad.
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, I think I’ve seen it all! TLA rises to his feet and he drops his forearm, waiting for Bethany to rise to her feet…
Persephone: WHAT?!
Rich Russillo: TLA JUST SPIT HIS BLOOD INTO BETHANY’S FACE! OH MY GOD! HE WASN’T JUST TRYING TO STOP THE BLOOD! HE WAS COLLECTING IT! THAT IS DISGUSTING!
Thadd Blazevich: BETHANY IS HOWLING OUT IN SHOCK AND DISBELIEF! SHE’S GOT HER BLOOD AND TLA’S BLOOD ALL OVER HER FACE! I CAN’T EVEN CALL THAT WITHOUT GETTING SICK, BRO!
Rich Russillo: NOW BETHANY IS INCAPICITATED! TLA BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES BEHIND HIM! ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!’ AND DOWN GOES BETHANY! TLA FOLDS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR—
Persephone: BETHANY GETS HER SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME!!! I DON’T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE OF WHAT’S DRIVING EITHER OF THESE TWO RIGHT NOW!
Thadd Blazevich: Nobody does, bro, and that’s what makes this such an epic bout for the Hardcore Championship…! But something’s gotta give, and I don’t know from which of these two that it’ll be.
Rich Russillo: TLA looks up at the top rope, and I think he’s about to throw caution to the wind. He limps towards the turnbuckles and exits to the apron, slowly climbing up…
Thadd Blazevich: We know that some crazy shit comes when TLA is at the top rope, bro! I think he wants to hit ‘Burnout’, but he’s struggling to even steady himself up there!
Rich Russillo: He’s getting there now—
(CRACK!)
Persephone: ONLY FOR BETHANY TO RACE UP TO HER FEET, AND SHE NAILS TLA WITH A REFLEX HAMMER TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL?! THAT’S NOT A REGULAR REFLEX HAMMER—SHE REPLACED THE RUBBER PIECE WITH A PIECE OF METAL!
Thadd Blazevich: AND TLA IS OUT ON THE TOP ROPE! BETHANY QUICKLY CLIMBS THE MIDDLE ROPE! BETHANY STARTS THROWING PUNCHES TO THE HEAD OF TLA!
Rich Russillo: HE’S BARELY EVEN CONSCIOUS AFTER THAT SHOT TO THE HEAD! AND NOW BETHANY CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE, TRYING FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Persephone: THIS MOTHERFUCKER STILL BREATHES! HE THROWS PUNCHES TO THE BODY OF BETHANY!
Thadd Blazevich: IT’S LACKING SNAP THOUGH, BRO! TLA IS STILL HURT! AND BETHANY STARTS THROWING 12-6 ELBOWS TO THE FOREHEAD! She stands on the top rope while TLA is still seated up there…
Rich Russillo: AND SHE THROWS A KNEE TO THE JAW! THE GUTS FOR BETHANY TO TRY THAT! SHE COULD’VE LOST HER BALANCE! NOW SHE GRABS TLA AND BEGINS TO LIFT HIM UP—
Persephone: NO! TLA GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HER HEAD DOWN INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHE’S OUT!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA TUCKS HER HEAD INTO HIS THIGHS! NO!!! NOT THIS, BRO!
Rich Russillo: ’VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!’
Persephone: BETHANY WITH A BACK BODY DROP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! SHE JUST SAVED HER LIFE!
Rich Russillo: BUT WHAT IS BETHANY GOING TO TRY FOR AT THE TOP ROPE!
Thadd Blazevich: SHE’S TRYING TO REGAIN HER FOOTING, BRO—
Persephone: TLA IS ALREADY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! AND HE RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES WITH HER! HE GRABS THE WAIST OF BETHANY! AVALANCHE GERMAN SUPLEX! OH MY GOD!!!
Rich Russillo: HE SLAMS THE CHAMPION DOWN ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! BETHANY IS OUT OF IT!!! TLA WASTES NO TIME THOUGH, HE’S GOT ADRENALINE FLOWING THROUGH HIS BODY RIGHT NOW!
Thadd Blazevich: Quickly, he rolls out of the ring! What the hell is he looking for now, bro?! TLA pulls something out of the ring… why do I hear an engine revving up?!
(As the clear sounds of something powering up echoes throughout Caesars Superdome, there is a clear look of disbelief and shock as TLA proudly raises a weedwacker high in the air, and then he rolls into the ring!)
Persephone: HE’S GOT A FUCKING WEEDWACKER! BETHANY HAS NOT THE SLIGHTEST CLUE OF WHAT’S COMING HER WAY RIGHT NOW, AND HOW COULD SHE?!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA JABS THE WEEDWHACKER INTO THE ABDOMEN OF BETHANY BLUE! THE METAL BLADES SPIN AGAINST HER BODY AND THEY IMMEDIATELY CUT HER! BLOOD FLICKS OFF OF HER!
Thadd Blazevich: IT’S SPEWING ONTO TLA, BUT HE’S SEEING SO MUCH JOY FROM THIS THAT HE DOESN’T EVEN CARE! TLA POWERS OFF THE WEEDWHACKER AND THROWS IT TO THE SIDE!
Persephone: BETHANY BLUE HAS BLOOD ALL OVER HER HANDS! IT LOOKS LIKE HE JUST STABBED HER WITH A KNIFE!
Rich Russillo: AND TLA QUICKLY TUCKS HER HEAD IN! HE WRAPS THE ARMS AROUND THE WAIST! BETHANY HAS NOWHERE TO GO!
Thadd Blazevich: ’MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!’ TLA SPIKES BETHANY’S HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!
Rich Russillo: DOWN GOES THE CHAMPION! TLA WHEEZES OUT IN AGONY… HE’S FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THIS MATCH!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT HE GETS TO THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Persephone: BETHANY KICKS OUT! SHE FUCKING KICKS OUT! I AM NO LONGER CONVINCED THIS WOMAN IS HUMAN!
(There’s a massive roar from the crowd in New Orleans, as the fans who entered this one rooting for TLA are appalled by the drive of the Hardcore Champion. This is still clearly a pro-TLA crowd, but clearly there is a feeling of dread starting to come over them…)
Rich Russillo: TLA is going to have to go farther than he ever has to win this one, that’s the only way I see this one going at this point…
Thadd Blazevich: You see the look in his eyes right now? I don’t think TLA has a single problem doing that right now. He drops to his knees and exits the ring, marching around. He digs underneath the ring, and pulls out a toolbox!
Persephone: That’s the last thing that either of these two should be in possession right now.
Rich Russillo: Bethany is blinking constantly, trying to find feeling back in her body, but as TLA enters the ring, he raises that toolbox and BASHES IT OVER HER HEAD!
Thadd Blazevich: TLA RAISES THE TOOLBOX AND HE CONSTANTLY SLAMS IT DOWN ON THE HEAD OF BETHANY! SHE ROLLS TO HER SIDE, DESPERATELY TRYING TO COVER UP!
Rich Russillo: He places the toolbox down and frantically opens it, then he grabs those fingers of Bethany and he places them inside the toolbox—
Persephone: NOW HE’S GONNA RIP HER FINGERS OFF! TLA TAKES THE LID AND HE CONSTANTLY OPENS IT AND CLOSES IT ON THE FINGERS OF BETHANY!
Thadd Blazevich: HE’S SMASHING HER FINGERS OVER AND OVER BRO! HE CLOSES HIS LID ON THE FINGERS OF BETHANY—AND THEN HE LEAPS INTO A STOMP TO THE FINGERS!
Rich Russillo: Bethany lets out a guttural scream, and TLA takes the tool box away and starts emptying it out all over her body! All of those tools are falling over her! TLA has lost it as well!
Persephone: But his eyes are set on something in particular…
Thadd Blazevich: TLA grabs a wrench, and he raises it high in the air. He walks over to the turnbuckles, and he’s placing the wrench to the turnbuckle hook and the ring post—you’ve gotta be kidding me! HE’S RELEASING THE TURNBUCKLE FROM THE RING POST!
Rich Russillo: AND THE TOP ROPE IMMEDIATELY BUCKLES! TLA HAS GOT PART OF THE ROPES AND THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN HIS HANDS!
Persephone: This is what YOU wanted, Russillo!
Rich Russillo: Not necessarily—but I don’t know what more these two can do to each other!
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, I can’t stand to see any more of this! Bethany is STILL trying to rise to her feet, and her fingers are shaking right now!
Rich Russillo: TLA TAKES THE TURNBUCKLE HOOK AND HE DRIVES IT DIRECTLY INTO THE EYE OF DR. BETHANY BLUE! OH MY GOD! BETHANY GOES DOWN! HE COULD HAVE RIPPED THE EYE OUT OF THE SOCKET RIGHT THERE!
Thadd Blazevich: HE’S NOT DONE EITHER! HE TAKES THE ROPES AND HE WRAPS IT AROUND THE THROAT OF BETHANY! TLA IS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF BETHANY RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: SHE WON’T GO DOWN, SO HE’S GOING TO FORCE HER OUT OF IT—EVEN IF IT LEAVES HER LIFE AT RISK!
Referee: (off-mic) BETHANY, DO YOU GIVE UP?!
Persephone: WHAT KIND OF SILLY QUESTION IS THAT?! SHE PROBABLY CAN’T EVEN HEAR YOU RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS DESPERATELY FLAILING HER ARMS AROUND, REACHING FOR SOME KIND OF REPRIEVE! SHE CUPS HER HAND UNDERNEATH THE ROPES, TRYING TO PULL IT FROM AROUND HER THROAT!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT TLA’S EYES ARE WIDE LIKE A MAN POSSESSED! HE’S PULLING AS TIGHT AS HE POSSIBLY CAN—
Persephone: BETHANY COLLAPSES….!!!!
Rich Russillo: … BUT IN THE PROCESS, SHE YANKS TLA FORWARD! HE LOSES HIS BALANCE AND HE GOES HEAD-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE-LESS RING POST! OH MY GOD! HIS HEAD MAY HAVE CAVED INTO THE HOOK ON THE POST!
Thadd Blazevich: MY GOD! BRO, I THINK IT WAS TLA’S NOSE THAT MADE CONTACT WITH THE HOOK!
Persephone: TLA is trying to check if his nose is still in tact, but Bethany is digging through the tools all over the canvas… and she lands on pliers?!
Rich Russillo: He turns to Bethany, and she raises the pliers and she APPLIES THEM TO HIS NOSE! TLA YELLS OUT IN AGONY! BETHANY PRESSES DOWN ON THE PLIERS—
Thadd Blazevich: AND SHE STARTS TO TWIST HIS NOSE OUT OF PLACE! BRO, WHAT THE HELL?! TLA’S NOSE IS BEING TWISTED IN WAYS THAT IT SHOULD NEVER!
Persephone: SHE’S TEARING THAT NOSE CARTILAGE!
(SNAP!)
Rich Russillo: BETHANY RELEASES THE PLIERS, AND TLA MIGHT HAVE A BROKEN NOSE! She falls backwards, seeing TLA down and covering his nose as blood spurts out of it all over the canvas!
Thadd Blazevich: She’s not even close to done, bro. Bethany grabs a chair and slides it in the ring, and then she takes a bucket and enters the ring with it….
Persephone: Bethany raises that bucket and she just DUMPS it over the back of TLA’s head and all over the canvas—IT’S GLASS!
Rich Russillo: THERE’S GLASS ALL OVER TLA’S BODY, AND THERE’S ALSO GLASS ON THE CANVAS AS WELL! TLA WRITHES IN PAIN AS HE FRANTICALLY TRIES TO GET UP!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BETHANY IS ALREADY COMING OFF THE ROPES, BRO! ‘CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!!!’ SHE JUST STOMPED HIS HEAD INTO THAT GLASS! TLA IS UNCONSCIOUS!
Persephone: SHE’S FAVORING THAT HURT ANKLE FROM EARLIER! GOING FOR CONCUSSION PROTOCOL IS WHAT HURT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! AND IT’S COMING BACK TO BITE HER!
Rich Russillo: HER CHAMPIONSHIP AND LEGACY IS AT STAKE, THOUGH! BETHANY STILL MAKES HER WAY TO THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Persephone: You’ve gotta be kidding me.
Thadd Blazevich: TLA KICKS OUT, BRO!!! THERE’S GLASS SHARDS ACROSS HIS FACE RIGHT NOW AND IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH TO END THIS MATCH!
Rich Russillo: Dr. Bethany Blue looks like she’s on the verge of tears right now. Her entire body is cut up, her fingers are practically mangled, her ankle is in agonizing pain… she has done everything in her power to finish this one and it still hasn’t been enough.
Thadd Blazevich: She desperately tries to pull herself up, but these fans in New Orleans refuse to let TLA stay down without a fight!
Crowd: # T-L-A! T-L-A! T-L-A!
Persephone: Bethany is muttering to herself, trying to drown the voices of these fans out right now… I don’t think she can.
Crowd: # T-L-A! T-L-A! T-L-A!
Rich Russillo: But TLA hears them—and it’s starting to fuel him, it’s giving him reason to rise up to his feet and keep fighting!
Thadd Blazevich: Bethany looks up to TLA in shock… and he’s PUNCHING HIMSELF IN THE JAW, BRO! HE’S PUNCHING HIMSELF!
TLA: (off-mic) COME ON!
Persephone: SHE RISES AND IMMEDIATELY THROWS A PUNCH TO THAT INJURED NOSE! SHE GOT HIS ASS!
Rich Russillo: TLA STAGGERS… BUT HE’S STILL UP!
Persephone: … WHAT?
Thadd Blazevich: SHE THROWS ANOTHER ONE, BRO! BUT TLA BLOCKS IT! HE NAILS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND! AND THEN A LEFT HAND!
Rich Russillo: ONLY FOR BETHANY TO FIRE BACK! A PUNCH OF HER OWN! AND TLA CRACKS HER WITH HIS OWN PUNCH! SHE FIRES OFF! TLA FIRES OFF!
Thadd Blazevich: THEY’RE TRADING SHOTS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! BUT TLA IS BACKING BETHANY UP, AND HER BOOT IS SLIDING ACROSS THE GLASS IN THE PROCESS!
Persephone: BETHANY, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK! HE’S STILL IN THIS ONE SOMEHOW!
Rich Russillo: AND HE WINDS BACK ONE MORE PUNCH—
Thadd Blazevich: LOW BLOW!!! AND LOOK AT BETHANY’S BOOT! IT’S COVERED IN GLASS! SHE WENT BACKWARDS FOR A REASON, AND THAT GLASS IS DIGGING RIGHT INTO TLA’S GROIN!
Persephone: SHE JUST DID THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD A FAVOR!
Rich Russillo: TLA crumbles to the canvas, blinking repeatedly—Bethany had to go low just to put him down, and I don’t think he can comprehend what just happened!
Thadd Blazevich: But look! She’s digging the glass into the soles of her boots as well! And she approaches TLA, opening his legs up—
Persephone: AND BETHANY JUST STOMPS ON TLA’S BALLS WITH HER GLASS FILLED BOOT!
Rich Russillo: The boos are filling through the building, but it’s all white noise to her right now! She goes for that chair she brought in earlier…
(And as Bethany raises the chair, for whatever reason—something is strapped around it. But when the camera gets a closer view, the crowd falls silent when they realize the steel chair is strapped with an explosive.)
Rich Russillo: … No. NO!
Persephone: SHE’S GONNA KILL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!
Thadd Blazevich: BETHANY RAISES THAT CHAIR AND SHE STARTS BASHING IT OVER THE BACK OF TLA!
(WHACK!)
Rich Russillo: IT’S GONNA EXPLODE AT ANY POINT!
(WHACK!)
Persephone: I DON’T EVEN THINK TLA KNOWS IT!
(WHACK!)
Thadd Blazevich: BRO! THE REFEREE NEEDS TO INTERVENE!
(WHACK!)
Rich Russillo: HE’S ALREADY BRACING FOR IMPACT!
(WHACK!)
Persephone: AND BETHANY WINDS BACK ONE MORE TIME, SMASHING IT OVER THE BACK OF TLA–
(# BOOM!)
Thadd Blazevich: HOLY SHIT, BRO! THE CHAIR JUST FUCKING EXPLODED, AND BOTH TLA AND DR. BETHANY BLUE ARE OUT OF IT! WHAT DID WE JUST SEE?!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE IS COVERING, MEANWHILE THE SMOKE BILLOWING IN THE AIR COMPLETELY COVERS WHATEVER REMAINS OF CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER IN THE RING!
(Caesars Superdome has fallen silent, and the sold-out crowd of 78,000+ has been completely drained of their life. Each and every single person.)
(The referee nervously creeps towards both TLA and Dr. Bethany Blue … and as suspected, neither of them are moving whatsoever. The only indication that they’re even alive are the slow, bated breaths of both. TLA’s back is charred, with remnants of glass, blood, and whatever else on his body.)
(Unsure on what to do, the referee shares a glance with the timekeeper, almost as if he’s contemplating calling this one off—though it would be unlike the Hardcore Championship for this one to end in a draw…)
Thadd Blazevich: N–no way…
(The referee’s worried expression becomes disbelief….)
(…)
(…)
(Bethany’s charred, shaky, mangled hand begins to rise in the air, and she desperately wills her body forward with the very little that she’s got…)
(… until her arm falls over the chest of TLA, and the referee quickly drops to make the cover.)
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
(This one is over.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner of this match, and STILLL the HARDCORE CHAMPION… DRRRRRR! BETHANNNYYYYYY! BLLLLUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(“Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen loudly blares throughout the stadium, but the fans don’t even have it in them to boo the hell out of Dr. Bethany Blue. The wellbeing of TLA is more important to them—and it’s hard to even eke out feelings of disrespect and hatred after the absolute war those two just went through. Referees and EMTs frantically rush the ring, checking on both and giving them the immediate medical attention that they need.)
Persephone: Wow. Just wow.
Rich Russillo: Somehow, someway, Dr. Bethany Blue finds it in her to leave with the Hardcore Championship still in her possession, and one of the greatest Hardcore Championship reigns in recent memory continues. She has constantly gone up against the absolute best of the best on Voltage and she always finds a way to leave with the championship.
Thadd Blazevich: You got that right, bro, but this may have been too far. She resorted to exploding TLA just to win this match, and hurt herself in the process. There’s no denying the presence that Bethany has built for herself with that title, but I can’t help but feel like she and TLA will never be the same after this war tonight.
(A stretcher comes to take TLA out of the ring and wheel him to the back. As TLA is being taken up the ramp, his eyes flicker. He’s alright—but in no condition to leave on his own. Bethany takes the Hardcore Championship and tries to exit on her own accord, but her ankle nearly gives out on her and she cries out in pain. Just like TLA, she needs assistance on her way to the back, and the fallen states of both after such a battle leaves everyone in Caesars Superdome with a lot to think about.)

(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring, surrounded by ropes wrapped in razorwire, only the ropes facing hard camera left exposed for competitors to safely exit and re-enter.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A RAZORWIRE DEATHMATCH SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!
(‘My Own Summer’ by Deftones plays down Selina Reyes first, who flashes her pose on the stage, and eventually her song is replaced with ‘my mind is a mountain’ by Deftones. Daniella Atlas marches onto the stage, and gives a nod to Selina before “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays. This receives a mixed reaction from fans as Minerva marches onto the stage next to them. All three women stand united, focused for this match, and begin sauntering down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! At a combined weight of 409 pounds… THE TEAM OF SELINA REYES, DANIELLA ATLAS, AND MINERVA… TOXXXIN!
Thadd Blazevich: The mood just changed in this place as they know what to expect next.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, violence and brutality on full display from each competitor in this Razorwire Deathmatch where you’re guaranteed to not leave without a scratch.
Thadd Blazevich: Seriously, if you’re squeamish, I don’t recommend watching this.
(‘Burn in My Light’ by Mercy Drive plays to thunderous boos from the audience as Kai Rabeaux makes his presence known, and stops himself on the ramp, awaiting the arrival of Hans Grayson, who is met with a positive reaction as “The Leaving Song Pt. II” by AFI plays. Hans stops next to Kai on the ramp, and doesn’t look enthusiastic as he knows what’s coming next once his theme is replaced by ‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki for Drake Armstrong.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents! Weighing in at a combined weight of 684 pounds…THE TEAM OF KAI RABEAUX, HANS GRAYSON, AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG!
Rich Russillo: Hans is just about done being a pawn in Drake Armstrong’s game, but he doesn’t have much choice after the favor was cashed in for them to team tonight.
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, there’s a Drake Armstrong vortex, and Hans can’t seem to escape it.
Persephone: Hopefully, tonight is his last night, and there’s no better way to go out than with a bang like this. :mjlit:
(The referee signals for the bell as both teams stand on either side of the ring.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: HERE. WE. GO. NEITHER TEAM WASTES ANY TIME CHARGING THE OTHER, AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE FOR A HOCKEY FIGHT! KAI LOCKING HORNS WITH DANIELLA! DRAKE GETTING INTO IT WITH MINERVA! AND HANS IN A SLUGFEST WITH SELINA!
Thadd Blazevich: WHOA! KAI GETS THE UPPER HAND ON ATLAS WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! DOUBLING HER OVER BEFORE HE CHUCKS HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT DANIELLA CAUGHT HERSELF, LANDING ON HER FEET ON THE OUTSIDE! AND DRAGS KAI OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA THROWS KAI RIB FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! AND HE IS STUNNED WHILE DANIELLA GOES DIGGING UNDERNEATH THE RING… PULLING OUT A CHAIR WRAPPED IN RAZORWIRE!
Persephone: Things are already getting interesting! :mjlit:
Thadd Blazevich: DANIELLA GOES TO SWING IT- BUT KAI CATCHES HER OFF GUARD WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! FORCING DANIELLA TO DROP IT! RABEAUX THEN FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A HUGE RIGHT THAT STAGGERS HER!
(Daniella staggers over to the ringpost, and groggily leans back against it while Kai picks up the razorwire wrapped chair himself!)
Rich Russillo: NOW, KAI HAS THAT CHAIR IN HAND, AND GOES TO DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE! TAKING A SWING AT DANIELLA’S HEAD! GOING TO CRUSH IT BETWEEN THAT STEEL CHAIR AND THE RINGPOST!
(BANG!!)
Thadd Blazevich: OH, THANK GOD! DANIELLA MOVED OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, AND THAT CHAIR COLLIDED WITH THE RINGPOST INSTEAD!
Persephone: Dammit! Daniella almost got mangled, and I would’ve enjoyed to see it.
Rich Russillo: WELL, KAI DROPPED THE STEEL CHAIR THANKS TO VIBRATION FROM THE RINGPOST, AND DANIELLA TAKES ADVANTAGE! DELIVERING A KICK TO THE GUT, AND SENDING HIM UP AND OVER A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE!
Thadd Blazevich: Daniella follows him into that crowd area- BUT BACK INSIDE THE RING! ITS STILL TOXXXIN GOING AT IT WITH HANS AND DRAKE! EACH ENGAGED WITH A HOCKEY FIGHT AGAINST THE OTHER! BUT HANS GAINS THE UPPER HAND OVER SELINA WITH A COUPLE SHOTS TO THE BODY, AND SLAMS HER FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: A KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM HANS ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA, AND PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS REYES FACE! HANS IS FIRMLY IN CONTROL, AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR HIS PARTNER AS DRAKE GOT ONE OVER ON MINERVA! OVERWHELMING HER WITH RIGHT HANDS THAT DROPPED MINERVA DOWN TO A KNEE, AND MOUNTED HER WITH MORE!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT MINERVA SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM ON ARMSTRONG! ROLLING HIM ONTO HIS BACK, AND UNLOADING WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS! DRAKE KICKS HER OFF, AND SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, LEANING BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! MINERVA SWINGS WILDLY FOR A CLOTHESLINE-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND MINERVA FINDS HERSELF LEANED BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! NOW, DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN! BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH TO SEND MINERVA OVER! DRAKE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SECOND, AND BACKS UP FOR A THIRD!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT MINERVA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THAT, AND DRAKE IS BACK LEANED UP AGAINST THE ROPES! GETTING CLOTHESLINED UP AND OVER BY MINERVA!
Rich Russillo: ARMSTRONG BACKFLIPPED OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND HIT FACE FIRST ONTO THE APRON HIS WAY DOWN! BUT REMAINS STANDING, ALBEIT BARELY! MINERVA GRABS HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, AND SLINGSHOTS HERSELF OVER IT! BUT DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF WHATEVER SHE WAS GOING FOR!
Persephone: Yeah, and unfortunately, Minerva catches herself on the apron. I was hoping to see her go splat.
Thadd Blazevich: DRAKE SEIZES THE MOMENT! TAKING A SWIPE AT MINERVA’S LEGS WITH HIS ARM! BUT MINERVA HAD IT SCOUTED, AND LEAPS OVER IT! CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK FROM THE APRON AS ARMSTRONG TURNED AROUND! BIT OF A “DEVILS TOUCH” THERE!
Rich Russillo: YEAH, BUT DIDNT GET ALL OF IT AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS STAGGERED! AND MINERVA LINES HIM UP FOR A RUNNING CANNONBALL OFF THE APRON, AND IT CONNECTS! MINERVA IS ABLE TO GET THE UPPER HAND OVER DRAKE ARMSTRONG, AND ALREADY THIS MATCH HAS BECOME CHAOTIC AS THESE ELITISTS ARE BRAWLING EVERYWHERE!
Persephone: Yeah, but I’m not seeing enough blood yet. That’s annoying.
Thadd Blazevich: Dude, Drake is trying to pull himself up using the apron, but Minerva just has a grin on her face. Maybe some devious intentions in mind.
Rich Russillo: BUT TURNING OUR ATTENTION OVER TO THE BRAWL HAPPENING IN THE CROWD! DANIELLA JUST THREW KAI RIB FIRST INTO THE INNER BARRICADE, AND KAI LOOKS TO STAGGER AWAY AS DANIELLA GRABS HOLD OF A METAL TRASH CAN! TRAILING HIM WITH IT! LOOKING TO DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT KAI CRACKS DANIELLA IN THE RIBS WITH A STANCHION! FORCING HER TO DROP THAT TRASH CAN! NOW, ITS IN KAI’S POSSESSION AS HE PICKS IT UP, AND CHUCKS IT AT DANIELLA’S FACE!
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA GOT CAUGHT FLUSH, AND DROPS TO ALL FOURS! Kai picks back up that trash can, and SMASHES Daniella over the back with it! Flattening her on that concrete floor!
Thadd Blazevich: Kai still has that trash can in hand, and reaches down to pull Daniella back up by the hair. HE’S ALMOST SUCCESSFUL, BUT DANIELLA SWATS HIS HAND AWAY, AND DELIVERS A KICK TO THE GUT! KAI IS DOUBLED OVER, AND WAS FORCED TO DROP THAT TRASH CAN, WHICH DANIELLA THEN SUPLEXES HIM ONTO!
Rich Russillo: KAI’S BODY CRUSHED THAT TRASH CAN UNDER IT! AND HE’S IN A WORLD OF PAIN, NOT THAT HE’S GONNA HAVE MUCH TIME TO REGISTER AS DANIELLA HAS OTHER PLANS!
Thadd Blazevich: BRO, DANIELLA JUST DRAGGED KAI’S HEAD UP BEFORE BASHING IT INTO THE FLOOR! THIS ISN’T THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, BROS! THERE’S NO PADDING THERE TO PROTECT KAI’S FACE! KAI’S FACE WAS JUST WRECKED RIGHT THERE! DANIELLA PULLS KAI UP AGAIN, AND SHE JUST GOES TO DOWN ON BRO!
Rich Russillo: BUT OH MY GOD! INSIDE THE RING, HANS JUST RAN SELINA’S FACE ACROSS THE TOP ROPE WRAPPED IN RAZORWIRE! CREATING A DEEP CUT ON HER CHEEK! :damn:
Persephone: FINALLY! I was waiting for somebody to get cut up by that razorwire!
Thadd Blazevich: YEAH, AND NOW YOU’RE GETTING IT! BUT HANS DOESNT STOP THERE, LEANING SELINA BACK AGAINST THOSE ROPES WITH THE RAZORWIRE DIGGING INTO HER SKIN ONCE MORE BEFORE AN IRISH WHIP!
Rich Russillo: BUT REGARDLESS THE AMOUNT OF PAIN SHE’S IN, SELINA GRITS THROUGH IT! REVERSING THE IRISH WHIP, AND SENDING HANS TO THE ROPES INSTEAD FOR A FLAPJACK! DROPPING HANS STOMACH FIRST ONTO THE RAZORWIRE WRAPPED TOP ROPE!
(Hans remains hung over the top rope with the razorwire clinging to his skin, and has to physically pry himself off, screaming in agony while he does so.)
Persephone: Haha, this is great! Hans Grayson is having to physically remove himself from that razorwire! Guess what comes around goes around after what he did to Selina’s cheek!
Rich Russillo: Definitely a measure of revenge from Selina’s side, but she’s laser-focused on Hans as he turns around, clutching at his now bleeding gut…
Thadd Blazevich: CLOTHESLINE! SELINA DROPPED HANS WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD! DRAGGING HANS OVER TO THE ROPES ON ALL FOURS! SELINA’S TRYING TO PRESS HIS FACE INTO THAT RAZORWIRE! :lupe:
Persephone: Cmon, cmon… :mjlit:
Rich Russillo: HANS IS RESISTING! TRYING HIS BEST TO AVOID GOING INTO THE RAZORWIRE AS HE RISES TO A KNEE! GRAYSON INSTINCTIVELY PUTS HIS HAND IN FRONT TO BLOCK IT! BUT BIG MISTAKE AS THE RAZORWIRE ONLY DIGS INTO HIS PALM!
Thadd Blazevich: AND WITH THAT, SELINA IS ABLE TO PRESS THE SIDE OF HIS FACE INTO THAT RAZORWIRE! GRAYSON CANT DO ANYTHING BUT SCREAM!
Rich Russillo: HOWEVER, GUYS, CLEAR OUT! MINERVA IS DIRECTING TRAFFIC!
(Minerva orders the commentary team to clear out as she starts removing the announce table cover and monitors.)
Persephone: I’m not even going to let Minerva ruin my day right now as this is still shaping up to be a barbaric match. Although, I’m hoping it’s her ass getting put through this table.
Rich Russillo: Shaping up to be a barbaric match? If you ask me, it’s already become one with Hans and Selina carving each other up, and Minerva lays Drake Armstrong on the announce table to MOUNT HIM WITH A FLURRY OF RIGHT HANDS! MINERVA BEGINS TO LIFT DRAKE ARMSTRONG BACK TO HIS FEET!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT DRAKE SURPRISES MINERVA WITH A FOREARM! DRAKE LIFTS MINERVA UP ONTO HIS SHOULDER, AND HE’S GOING TO SPIKE HER WITH THAT “DEATH PENALTY” ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Rich Russillo: NO, WAIT! MINERVA COUNTERS IT INTO AN INVERTED FRONT FACELOCK! HAVING DRAKE SETUP FOR EITHER A “TWILIGHT” OR “PARADISE LOST!” BOTH FATAL MOVES THAT CAN BE PERFORMED ON THIS ANNOUNCE TABLE-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT DRAKE SPINS OUT OF IT, AND INTO POSITION FOR A SUPLEX ON MINERVA! GOING TO HOIST HER UP FOR WHAT COULD BE A BRAINBUSTER- BUT MINERVA FIGHTS HER WAY OUT OF IT WITH KNEES TO THE TEMPLE! DOUBLING DRAKE OVER, AND MINERVA WRINGS HIS ARM FOR A SHORT-ARM INTO A KNEE! KNEE TO THE GUT! MAKING SURE THAT DRAKE STAYS DOUBLED OVER FOR A “CLOCKWORK ORANGE!”
Rich Russillo: SHE’S GOING FOR THAT ABDOMINAL STRETCH DRIVER, BUT DRAKE FIGHTS HIS WAY OUT OF IT WITH ELBOWS! BACK ELBOWS TO THE RIB CAGE! AND THE LAST ONE FROM DRAKE MANAGES TO KNOCK MINERVA OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, BUT SHE CATCHES HERSELF! LANDING ON HER FEET AS DRAKE IS DOUBLED OVER, AND SWEEPS HIS LEGS OUT FROM BEHIND WITH A KICK! ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS LEGS!
Persephone: The back of Drake’s head bounced hard on the very table HE cleared off to use. Serves him right for disturbing our peace.
(Drake clutches the back of his head in pain whilst lying on the announce table, and Minerva gets an idea to start pulling back the ringside padding, exposing a bit of concrete.)
Thadd Blazevich: Uh-oh… things have gone from bad to worse for Drake Armstrong, who has no idea what awaits him!
Persephone: Yeah, but I do! Please don’t reverse, please don’t reverse, please don’t reverse… 🤞
Rich Russillo: Minerva drags Armstrong off the announce table, and over to the exposed floor where she sets him up for “The Siren’s Lonely Song!” GOING TO SPIKE HIM WITH THAT DDT AS SHE REACHES FOR THE LEG, GRABBING HOLD OF IT! BUT DRAKE ESCAPES AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SHOVES MINERVA INTO THE RINGPOST! THE SPINE AND BACK OF HER HEAD RICOCHETING OFF IT!
Persephone: :madstare: Well, thanks for a lot for answering my prayers, Jesus!
Thadd Blazevich: MINERVA IS STRUGGLING TO STAND, AND THE SAME GOES FOR ARMSTRONG, WHO DROPS TO A KNEE! BUT MINERVA IS ABLE TO SHAKE THOSE COBWEBS OUT OF HER HEAD, BRO, AND CHARGES FULL SPEED AHEAD TOWARD DRAKE! HOPING TO CUT HIS RALLY SHORT BEFORE IT CAN EVEN GET STARTED!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG POPS MINERVA UP, AND INTO THE RAZORWIRE WRAPPED ROPES! :damn:
(Minerva bounces off the ropes, and rolls in agony ringside with fresh cuts open on her back from that razorwire!)
Rich Russillo: ARMSTRONG USED THAT RAZORWIRE TO HIS ADVANTAGE! IT CAN BE USED TO HURT YOU FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE RING!
Persephone: Nevermind, God, I take back what I said! My prayers HAVE been answered!
Rich Russillo: SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, MINERVA IS ALREADY UP TO ALL FOURS! TRYING TO FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN, BUT ARMSTRONG ISN’T TAKING THIS ACT OF DEFIANCE KINDLY, AND GRABS THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SENDING MINERVA HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! EVEN DISLODGING THE STEPS FROM THE RINGPOST OFF IMPACT!
(Drake flips the top step off the bottom, and drags Minerva over to the bottom one.)
Rich Russillo: OOH! DRAKE ARMSTRONG SLAMS MINERVA FACE FIRST OFF THE BOTTOM STEP, AND USES HIS BOOT TO PRESS DOWN ON HER NECK! KEEPING HER PINNED THERE AS ALL SHE CAN DO IS SQUIRM UNDERNEATH! DRAKE ARMSTRONG LOVES POWER, HE LOVES DOMINATION, AND HE CERTAINLY IS DOMINATING MINERVA AT THIS VERY MOMENT!
Thadd Blazevich: DRAKE LIFTS HIS BOOT UP, AND STOMPS DOWN ONTO MINERVA’S HEAD! CRUSHING IT BETWEEN HIS BOOT AND THAT BOTTOM STEP BEFORE TURNING HIS ATTENTION OVER TO WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR TIMEKEEPERS AREA!
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA AND KAI HAVE BRAWLED THEIR WAY INTO OUR TIMEKEEPERS AREA, AND DANIELLA GRABS A CHAIR! DRIVING INTO KAI’S GUT! DOUBLING HIM OVER FOR ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT ACROSS THE BACK THAT JOLTS KAI UPRIGHT! AND HE RESPONDS WITH A HARD FOREARM STRIKE, KNOCKING DANIELLA BACK INTO AN OFFICE CHAIR THAT BELLA BRAXTON WAS SEATED IN!
Thadd Blazevich: NOW, KAI STARTS TO UNLOAD WITH RIGHT HANDS! UPPING HIS AGGRESSION! IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE STEEL CHAIR SHOT THAT WOKE HIM UP, AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG COMES OVER!
(Drake says something to Kai Rabeaux that the mic can’t quite pick up, likely whispering the play as Kai nods in agreement with him.)
Thadd Blazevich: What do you think Drake Armstrong just whispered to Kai?
Persephone: I don’t know, idiot. You think I question what goes through either one of their big heads?
Thadd Blazevich: …fair enough.
Rich Russillo: Well, whatever it is: we know it’s not good for Atlas. But back inside the ring, Selina has Hans between her legs for the “Oryx Awakening!” ALTHOUGH, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO EARLY AS HANS BLOCKS THE ATTEMPT AT HOISTING HIM UP! AND LAUNCHES SELINA OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Thadd Blazevich: HOWEVER, SELINA LANDS ON HER FEET! SHE MIGHT BE THE MOST AGILE COMPETITOR IN TOXXXIN, AND HANS SPINS AROUND TO DELIVER A FOREARM! BUT SELINA WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, AND BOTH COMPETITORS COLLIDE! CENTER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: BOTH HANS AND SELINA ARE ON WOBBLY LEGS! STUNNED OFF THAT DOUBLE COLLISION, AND LUNGE AT EACH OTHER ONCE AGAIN! THIS TIME, BOTH THINKING CLOTHESLINES! EACH CONNECTING AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! AGAIN, BOTH HANS AND SELINA ARE WOBBLED!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT EACH COMPETITOR GETS A SECOND WIND AS THEY LET OUT A WAR CRY BEFORE BOTH GOING FOR CLOTHESLINES AGAIN IN STEREO! TRYING TO TAKE THE OTHER DOWN- BUT REYES BAITED GRAYSON IN! DUCKING UNDERNEATH HIS CLOTHESLINE, AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK AS HE TURNED AROUND!
Rich Russillo: HANS FIRES BACK WITH A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN, AND SELINA REYES IS STUNNED! SHE MIGHT BE THE FIRST TO GO DOWN- BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLAYING POSSUM AS SHE TRIES FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK! BUT HANS CATCHES THE BOOT! HANS CAUGHT THE BOOT OF REYES, AND SPINS HER AROUND!
Thadd Blazevich: NOW, HOOKING BOTH ARMS FOR THE… “IMPERIAL FLAME!!!”
Rich Russillo: BUT SELINA GETS HERSELF FREE BEFORE HE CAN PLANT HER, AND HOPS ONTO HANS’ SHOULDERS FOR A POISONRANA! BUT HANS POPS HER OFF, AND IN FRONT OF HIM FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE “IMPERIAL FLAME!!” AGAIN, HOOKING BOTH ARMS!
Thadd Blazevich: HANS TURNS SELINA AROUND, BUT SHE PUSHES HIM AWAY THIS TIME, AND HE ALMOST WENT INTO THE RAZORWIRE ROPES! BUT HANS HALTED HIS MOMENTUM LAST MINUTE, AND TURNS AROUND INTO A CLOTHESLINE BY REYES!
Rich Russillo: WELL, SHE ATTEMPTED ONE! BUT HANS CAUGHT HER, AND LAUNCHED HER INTO THE RAZORWIRE ROPES WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! :damn:
Persephone: Hans and Selina have just been torturing each other with that razor wire, and I couldn’t be any more happy to see it!
Rich Russillo: There’s cuts all over their bodies wit even some small rips in their respective gears, exposing bare flesh underneath! Regardless, they’re still moving! Which goes to show the toughness from both competitors as Selina is in a world of agony!
Thadd Blazevich: Selina rolls into the corner, and sits herself up in it- BUT HANS CLOSES IN TO DELIVER STOMPS! SINKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WHERE HE USES HIS KNEE, AND PRESSES IT DOWN AGAINST HER THROAT!
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, Kai Rabeaux has rolled Daniella out from the timekeepers area in that office chair, and Armstrong straps her in with a broom found from underneath the ring! Daniella’s arms are pinned down, and this can’t be good!
(Both Kai and Drake high five before Drake goes searching underneath the ring for something else. Meanwhile, all Daniella can do is kick her legs as Kai holds onto her head from behind the chair, keeping her in place while taunting her. Drake notices Hans still pressing down onto Selina, and passes him a weapon through the ropes first.)
Persephone: What’s that Drake just handed off to Hans? :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: I… I think that’s a STAPLE GUN! :roman:
Thadd Blazevich: But on the outside, Drake has retrieved a weapon for himself too, and it’s a rolling pin WRAPPED with razorwire! Now, it’s starting to make sense why they left Daniella defenseless in that office chair as Drake Armstrong makes his way over…
Persephone: I’ve never seen my granny cook with that.
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HAS MADE HIS WAY OVER, AND BEGINS RUNNING THAT ROLLING PIN ACROSS DANIELLA’S FACE AS ALL SHE CAN DO IS SCREAM WITH BLOOD TRICKLING DOWN! :lupe:
Thadd Blazevich: ITS LIKE A HORROR SCENE WHAT DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS DOING TO DANIELLA! ALL WHILE KAI HOLDS HER IN PLACE!
Rich Russillo: FINALLY, DRAKE ARMSTRONG RELENTS! BUT LOOK WHAT’S STUCK TO THAT ROLLING PIN!
(Drake Armstrong sadistically chuckles to himself as he notices he took some of Daniella’s hair out as well when rolling it across her forehead, having a few strands of hair stuck to the rolling pin, which is now covered in blood.)
Persephone: Oh God, Kai Rabeaux must be trying to recruit more into his bald brigade.
Rich Russillo: Drake tosses the rolling pin aside, and gestures for Kai to do something… WAIT! KAI ROLLS THE CHAIR FORWARD WITH DANIELLA TRAPPED IN IT, AND DRAKE BUILDS MOMENTUM FOR A… “HALBERD FROM HELL!!!” :roman:
Thadd Blazevich: DRAKE ARMSTRONG FIRED OFF LIKE A CANNON INTO THE CHEST OF DANIELLA, AND SHE MIGHT BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT AS THE CHAIR TUMBLES OVER!
Rich Russillo: BUT WE CANT EVEN TAKE A SECOND TO FULLY PROCESS THAT AS BACK INSIDE THE RING, HANS LIFTS SELINA UP IN THE CORNER BY HER TONGUE, WHICH HE IMPALES ON THE RAZORWIRE ROPE-
(CLICK!!)
Persephone: :skip:
Rich Russillo: HANS JUST USED THAT STAPLE GUN TO PIN SELINA’S TONGUE DIRECTLY TO THE ROPE WHILE THAT RAZORWIRE IS PIERCING HER TONGUE!!
(Selina is struggling to get her tongue free while Hans exits the ring to group up with Hans and Drake. With Selina and Daniella neutralized for the time being, together, the team agree to go after Minerva.)
Persephone: It ain’t looking good for ToXXXin.
Rich Russillo: No, it isn’t. Team War Games has more members standing than there are down, and are about to do away with Minerva next as they round the corner-
(WOOOOOOOSH!!)
Rich Russillo: MINERVA! MINERVA JUST BLEW A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THEIR FACES!
Thadd Blazevich: HANS, DRAKE, AND KAI ARE ALL DISORIENTED- GIVING ROOM FOR SELINA REYES TO FLY OVER THE RAZORWIRE ROPES WITH A TOPE CON HILO! SELINA CLEARED THE ROPES COMPLETELY!
Rich Russillo: THIS LATE, AND SELINA STILL HAS ENOUGH IN HER TO PULL OFF MANEUVERS LIKE THAT! HAVING FOUGHT THROUGH THE CLEAR PAIN OF JUST HAVING HER TONGUE STAPLED! WHICH SHE HAD TO RIP OFF THE RAZORWIRE!
Persephone: I’m shocked. I thought Selina would at least be out for a little while longer.
Thadd Blazevich: Same here, but she had JUST enough to come to Minerva’s aid. Selina’s laid out in that rubble, and Minerva drags Drake back to his feet, BEFORE THROWING DRAKE HEAD FIRST INTO THE RAZORWIRE BOTTOM ROPE! DRAKE FALLS BACKWARDS, BUT MINERVA QUICKLY CATCHES HIM AND SENDS HIM INTO THE RING! Minerva digs under the ring after that, grabbing a fork as Drake is bleeding!
Rich Russillo: Minerva slides in herself with it, and Drake’s eyes just widened as he noticed what Minerva had in her hands! I’m sure he wants no parts of this with that blood coming down his head!
(Minerva has a crazed look in her eyes as she approaches, and Armstrong scoots away, trying to beg her off.)
Rich Russillo: Oh! Drake had enough wherewithal to slither out on the opposite side of the ring! Much to the chagrin of these fans, who were eager to see Drake Armstrong get carved up!
Persephone: Much to the chagrin of ME! I wanted to see him get carved up too!
Thadd Blazevich: Drake had to roll out underneath the bottom rope, and got a cut on his arm from that razorwire as a result! But I’m sure he much prefers that than whatever Minerva was about to do to him!
Rich Russillo: Armstrong taunts Minerva from the outside, but Minerva is adamant he re-enters the ring! A request Armstrong doesn’t mind taking her up on, but he isn’t going to do so without being prepared first! Digging underneath the ring for a weapon of his own!
Rich Russillo: And Drake manages to find a fork of his own!
Persephone: What is there, a supply of kitchen utensils underneath that ring?
Rich Russillo: Drake Armstrong slithers back inside, and hasn’t taken his eyes off Minerva! Both competitors are wielding forks, and this can only end one way: bad. It’s a stand-off currently, but who is going to make the first move… DRAKE!
Thadd Blazevich: DRAKE TOOK AIM WITH THAT FORK AT THE FOREHEAD OF MINERVA! BUT SHE DUCKED UNDERNEATH! NOW, ITS MINERVA THAT TAKES A SWING WITH THAT FORK!
Rich Russillo: THIS TIME, ARMSTRONG HAD IT SCOUTED! DUCKING UNDERNEATH, AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING AFTERWARDS! TRYING TO STAB THE OTHER IN THE FOREHEAD, BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG GETS HIS HAND UP TO BLOCK, AND SO DOES MINERVA!
Thadd Blazevich: BOTH ELITISTS HOLDING EACH OTHER OFF FROM COMING IN CONTACT WITH THOSE FORKS- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO POWER THROUGH, AND PRESS THAT FORK INTO MINERVA’S FOREHEAD! HOWEVER, HE ISN’T HAPPY FOR LONG AS MINERVA DOES THE SAME! :damn:
Rich Russillo: BOTH ELITISTS HAVE THOSE FORKS JABBED INTO THE FOREHEAD OF THE OTHER, AND LOOK AT THIS! BOTH SIDES ARE GRINDING THE FORKS IN FURTHER AND FURTHER! YOU CAN SEE THE PUNTURE WOUNDS!
Persephone: :gladbron: That’s about as gnarly as it is awesome!
Thadd Blazevich: DRAKE FINALLY HAS ENOUGH, AND EXPLODES WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! MINERVA DROPS THE FORK AS SHE DOUBLES OVER, AND ARMSTRONG DROPS HIS AS WELL! SETTING MINERVA UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX- BUT SHE LANDS ON HER FEET BEHIND HIM!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA SHOVES DRAKE INTO THE RAZORWIRE ROPES— WELL, TRIED TO! BUT DRAKE STOPPED HIS MOMENTUM JUST SHORT! MINERVA CHARGES IN WITH A BICYCLE KICK, BUT DRAKE EVADES IT AT THE LAST MINUTE! AND MINERVA’S LEG GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
(Minerva pulls her leg out from the razorwire, but there’s a laceration on her thigh with blood seeping out of it!)
Thadd Blazevich: AND FROM BEHIND, DRAKE ARMSTRONG CHUCKS MINERVA HEAD FIRST INTO THE RAZORWIRE! SHE TRIED TO GET HER FOREARMS UP TO BLOCK IT! BUT IT JUST LEFT A NASTY CUT INSTEAD! MINERVA STUMBLES BACK, BUT BRO, DRAKE JUST CAUGHT HER AND IS GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA IS ABLE TO START ELBOWING AWAY AT DRAKE THOUGH, AND WHILE SHE’S DOING THAT, LOOK WHO IS GETTING IN THE RING! RIGHT BEHIND DRAKE IS DANIELLA ATLAS, WHO HAS A BONE TO PICK WITH HIM AFTER THAT OFFICE CHAIR TRAPPED “HALBERD FROM HELL!”
Persephone: This oughta be good. :mjlit:
(CLANG!!)
Thadd Blazevich: MINERVA LANDS ONE MORE GOOD ELBOW BEFORE DROPPING TO A KNEE, AND DRAKE TURNS AROUND INTO A RAZORWIRE METAL TRASH CAN LID SHOT TO THE TEMPLE!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE STUMBLES AROUND MOMENTARILY, STRUGGLING TO STAND BEFORE GETTING CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER THAT DROPS HIM TO A KNEE!
(Drake runs a hand across his face as more and more blood starts to stream down it, and there’s panic in his eyes before-)
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA IS UNLOADING WITH RAPID FIRE SHOTS! REPEATEDLY SMASHING DRAKE IN HIS HEAD WITH THAT RAZORWIRE TRASH CAN LID!
(CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!)
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA DROPS THE LID FOR NOW AS ARMSTRONG COLLAPSES DOWN TO ALL FOURS! DONT EXPECT ANY MERCY FROM DANIELLA ATLAS AS SHE STANDS DRAKE UP, AND WHIPS HIM HARD INTO THE ROPES! DRAKE WENT BACK FIRST INTO THE RAZORWIRE, AND HE IS PINNED THERE! UNABLE TO MOVE AS THAT RAZORWIRE DIGS INTO HIS SKIN!
Thadd Blazevich: DANIELLA PICKS UP THAT TRASH CAN LID ONCE AGAIN, AND STARTS GOING TO TOWN ON ARMSTRONG! WHO IS DEFENSELESS BEFORE KAI RABEAUX SHOWS UP! TURNING DANIELLA AROUND- BUT GETS HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THAT TRASH CAN TOO! RABEAUX DOES HIS BEST TO COVER UP, BUT JUST GETS SLASHED ON HIS HANDS AND WRISTS INSTEAD!
Rich Russillo: KAI STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE RAZORWIRE, AND DANIELLA CHARGES IN FOR ONE BIG SWING! BUT KAI SLIPS BEHIND HER, AND CONNECTS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! FORCING DANIELLA TO DROP THE RAZORWIRE TRASH CAN LID, BUT KAI HASN’T RELEASED HIS GRIP, AND DRAGS DANIELLA BACK TO HER FEET FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Thadd Blazevich: KAI’S GOING FOR THE TRIFECTA… AND CONNECTS!
Persephone: Adios, Daniella.
Thadd Blazevich: DANIELLA ROLLS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AS KAI STARES HER DOWN! HAVING NO IDEA WHAT’S BEHIND HIM AS SELINA HAS SLID INTO THE RING, AND PROPS UP A RAZORWIRE TABLE IN THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: KAI TAKES NOTICE, AND CHARGES IN- BUT SELINA SIDESTEPS HIM! KAI ALMOST WENT CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT STOPPED HIMSELF AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND TURNS AROUND INTO A DROPKICK! DROPKICK FROM SELINA REYES!
Thadd Blazevich: IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO SEND KAI THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO SEND HIM INTO THAT RAZORWIRE AS HE COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE MAT, AND ROLLS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Rich Russillo: SELINA POPS BACK TO HER FEET, BUT FORGETS ABOUT HANS GRAYSON, WHO COMES FROM BEHIND, AND THROWS HER INTO THE TABLE! STILL, WASN’T ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK IT! BUT THAT TABLE DOES FALL ON TOP OF SELINA! DIGGING INTO HER CLOTHES AND SKIN!
Persephone: :yikes: Way for your own weapon to backfire. Isn’t the first time in the match that’s happened.
Thadd Blazevich: BUT WHATS HANS THINKING AS HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! HANS HAS SELINA LINED UP, AND LEAPS OFF WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP THROUGH THE TABLE WHILE IT WAS LAID ON TOP OF REYES!
Rich Russillo: THE CUTS! THERE’S CUTS ALL OVER THE BODY OF REYES AS SHE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING IN AGONY! WHICH LEAVES ONLY HANS IN THE RING- BEFORE MINERVA GETS BACK UP! THESE TWO ARE A BLOODY MESS, BUT THE FIGHTING SPIRIT STILL REMAINS AS MINERVA TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM!
Thadd Blazevich: HANS RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN, STRUGGLING TO STAND! FOREARM FROM MINERVA! FOREARM FROM HANS! MINERVA! HANS! MINERVA! HANS! MINERVA SCORES WITH A FOREARM, AND QUICKLY ALTERNATES THE ARM FOR ANOTHER! SPINNING BACK ELBOW BY MINERVA, AND HANS IS ROCKED! BARELY ON HIS OWN TWO FEET CURRENTLY-
Rich Russillo: MINERVA WINDS BACK FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT HANS KICKS HER IN THE ARM, AND TURNS HER AROUND FOR AN “IMPERIAL FLAME!” HANS IS GOING FOR IT, TURNING MINERVA AROUND- BUT OOH! MINERVA SLIPS OUT OF IT, AND DELIVERS A STRAIGHT KICK FROM BEHIND TO HANS’ FAMILY JEWELS!
Thadd Blazevich: HANS DROPS TO BOTH KNEES, AND MINERVA GRABS THAT FORK USED EARLIER! JABBING IT INTO HANS’ FOREHEAD FROM BEHIND!
Rich Russillo: AND MINERVA TAKES IT A STEP FURTHER! GOUGING AT HANS’ EYE WITH THAT FORK! HANS IS STRUGGLING TO DEFEND HIMSELF- AND SO MINERVA PULLS BACK, JUST BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY STAB HANS IN THE FOREHEAD ONCE MORE! HANS WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT, AND NOW MINERVA TRIES GOING AFTER THE EYE ONCE AGAIN-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT THE PARTY IS INTERRUPTED AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG SLIDES IN THE RING, AND MINERVA TURNS AROUND- OOH! ARMSTRONG CAUGHT HER RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY RING!
Persephone: Of course, him and that damn ring.
Thadd Blazevich: MINERVA ROLLS OUT, BUT DANIELLA SLIDES IN- HOWEVER, KAI HOLDS ONTO HER ANKLE FROM OUTSIDE, AND DANIELLA TURNS AROUND TO KICK HIM OFF! BUT DRAKE COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A RUNNING FOREARM TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Rich Russillo: DANIELLA COLLAPSES TO ALL FOURS, AND DRAKE DRAGS DANIELLA OVER TO THE RAZORWIRE ROPES! STICKING HER ON THE MIDDLE!
(Daniella’s on a knee, and gets her back and arms pinned to the middle rope with that razorwire digging into her skin!)
Thadd Blazevich: DANIELLA IS DEFENSELESS, AND DRAKE STARTS GOING TO TOWN WITH THAT FAMILY RING! PUNCHING HER REPEATEDLY AS BLOOD STARTS TO GO UP TO DRAKE’S FOREARM!
Persephone: Uh… is he going to stop or…?
Rich Russillo: BASED OFF THE LOOK IN HIS EYES, ITS HARD TO TELL! DRAKE ARMSTRONG HAS SNAPPED, AND CONTINUOUSLY PUNCHES AT DANIELLA!
Thadd Blazevich: AT THIS POINT, DANIELLA’S BARELY CONSCIOUS! AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STOP ARMSTRONG BEFORE HE TAKES IT TOO FAR!
Persephone: Seriously? This is too far for you?? Not the razorwire going into the skin??
(Finally, someone puts their hand on Drake’s shoulder to snap him out of his craze as he turns around to notice…)
(Hans.)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) Enough. She’s finished, let’s get this over with.
(Drake chuckles, despite Hans being completely serious.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Please. I’m just getting started.
(Drake pats an annoyed Hans on his shoulder, and hobbles over to the ropes where he drops to a knee, signaling Kai Rabeaux to get him something from underneath the ring. Kai goes digging, and with a smirk, pulls out a lemon.)
Rich Russillo: Oh, cmon…
(Kai hands the lemon off to Drake through the ropes, and slides in the ring himself with Hans looking unimpressed. Drake rips the lemon open with his teeth, and starts to SQUEEZE it over Daniella’s body while she’s wrapped up in the razorwire.)
Thadd Blazevich: JESUS, THATS GOTTA STING!
Persephone: Going off Daniella’s reaction? Yes.
(Drake discards the lemon, and starts peeling Daniella off the razorwire… but Hans has already enough, and rolls his eyes before exiting the ring, having rolled out underneath the bottom rope, gesturing “forget this.”)
Rich Russillo: Well, I think Hans has had enough of Drake Armstrong dragging things out.
Thadd Blazevich: Bro, I think he’s had enough of Drake Armstrong PERIOD.
(Drake has Daniella on all fours, beginning to lift her up- but turns his head to notice Hans on the outside. With this, he drops what he’s doing as Daniella collapses prone on the canvas, and walks over to the ropes, calling out to Grayson, who is starting to walk up the ramp.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) What are you doing?! Get back here! We almost have this match won, you imbecile!
(Hans stops in his tracks, and turns around to face Armstrong inside the ring. Hans seems to be thinking about it, but just shakes his head instead.)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) Fuck you.
(Hans turns back around to start heading up the ramp, and Drake is irritated by the disrespect from Hans. He knows that at this point he has lost all control over him, and that Hans isn’t going to help him out any longer the way he has throughout the season. Drake glances over his shoulder at Kai momentarily before choosing to follow Hans up the ramp, unable to let this go as he rolls out underneath the bottom rope.)
Persephone: Is he stupid? You have the match won!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, but the choice words from Hans appear to have REALLY got underneath the skin of Armstrong, not willing to just let this thing go.
(Drake marches after Hans, and turns him around on the ramp, to which Hans pushes him back. Drake just stares at Hans for a moment, and after everything that has happened over the last few weeks, he can’t hide his anger.)
Rich Russillo: OH! THINGS HAVE COME TO BLOWS BETWEEN DRAKE AND HANS! :damn: KAI RABEAUX DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! DRAKE AND HANS ARE FIGHTING, RIGHT WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THEY MAY HAVE HAD THIS MATCH WON!
(Kai is at a loss for words over what’s happening on the ramp. After everything he did for them, including sacrificing himself for their victory at War Games, he now is forced to watch them fight each other, having completely abandoned him and the match. From there things only go from bad to worse, as he notices Selina and Minerva slide into the ring. Kai is surrounded by ToXXXin while Drake and Hans continue to hockey fight on the ramp. Kai is uneasy, realizing he’s in a bad spot and that he is out of options. He sighs, but before he can do anything-)
Rich Russillo: “BLACK DEATH!!” DANIELLA WITH “BLACK DEATH” TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Thadd Blazevich: KAI GOES STUMBLING INTO SELINA, WHO PUSHES HIM INTO MINERVA FOR “THE SIRENS LONELY SONG!” RABEAUX GOT SPIKED!
(Minerva slithers in, and keeps Kai sat up as she runs her hand across his bloody face. Minerva takes a lick of it, and drags Kai up to his feet. Kai is mostly out of it, but musters enough willpower to flicker open his eyes, cocking his head towards the rampway for ANY semblance of hope.)
Rich Russillo: “FLAMING PUNCH!” HANS JUST DROPPED DRAKE WITH THE “FLAMING PUNCH” ON THE RAMP! IF KAI WAS LOOKING FOR A SAVIOR, IT WONT BE ARMSTRONG!
(Hans is fired up at first to knock Armstrong out, but his emotion soon changes to one of guilt as he notices Kai Rabeaux in the ring, locking eyes with him while Minerva holds him in place.)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) …I’m sorry.
(Reluctantly, Hans turns his back on Kai, and starts heading to the back whilst Kai, the innocent bystander in all this, simply closes his eyes. Defeated.)
Thadd Blazevich: …ALAMO KNEE!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA SHOVES KAI RIGHT INTO THE ALAMO KNEE, AND SELINA HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNER… THE TEAM OF DANIELLA ATLAS, SELINA REYES, AND MINERVA… TOXXXIN!!
(Selina releases the cover, and gets helped back to her feet as ‘My Own Summer’ by Deftones blasts through the arena. Bloodied, battered, and bruised… Daniella and Minerva help Selina up, and raise each other’s hands in victory as the ring looks like a crime scene with how much blood was shed. The scars on their bodies say it all too.)
Rich Russillo: And that’s all she wrote, folks. A big win for ToXXXin, but a poetic end to this match for Team War Games.
Thadd Blazevich: Kai sacrificed himself at War Games, only to be abandoned and forgotten by both teammates to close this one out.
Persephone: If there ain’t a lesson to be learned from that, I don’t know what is.
Rich Russillo: In the end, tensions ran high between Hans and Drake, and the two were unable to co-exist. But their misfortune works out to the advantage of ToXXXin, who pick up a huge victory to close their year.
(Kai hasn’t moved in the center of the ring, and the camera pans over to Drake Armstrong writhing in pain on the ramp. Tonight, it’s ToXXXin standing tall as the trio momentarily embrace before the camera fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial plays for Applebee’s, featuring Ashlynn Quinn parodying ‘Milkshakes’ by Kelis to promote the new Dirty Soda drink menu!)
(The final matchcard of the evening is shown off.)

(Stephie Love is seen, ready to get the announcements underway.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following main event for the evening is an Extreme Elimination Chamber match, and it is for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep plays. The fans cheer as Michael Machina, the defending champion for the evening, comes out with a familiar weapon: the thumbtack Timbaland boot that he used for last year’s match that he won in.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the champion! From Brooklyn, New York, he is the current reigning and defending EAW World Heavyweight Champion… MIIIICHAAAEEEEL MAAAACHIIIINAAAA!
Stew-O: A big night, but nothing Michael isn’t used to already! He is ready to go, and he has the chance to win in back-to-back chambers. Last year, he captured the EAW World Championship in this same matchtype when he was on Voltage. Now, he enters it the champion of Dynasty.
Jake Mercer: No doubt that Michael is gonna do everything he can to win tonight. He has proven himself to be among the very best in a short amount of time, and the hype hasn’t died down at all! He could very well win tonight and carry on into the new year in top form.
(After he gets in, ‘Psycho’ by That’s Outrageous! Plays. Effy McAvoy comes out with Ahren Fournier by her side. She seems to have something small, but whatever her weapon of choice is is small. Ahren cheers her on as she enters the chamber.)
Stephie Love: Next, from Watch Hill, Rhode Island, and accompanied to the ring by EAW Hall of Famer… EFFFFFYYYYY MCAAAAVOOOOOY!
Flannery McCoy: Easily the biggest match of her career, but Effy is not at all intimidated. She looked right at home this season mixing it up with some of the best on our brand. Already a former New Breed champion, she could be like her mentor Ahren Fournier and become world champion by the end of the night—all while potentially making history as the first female EAW World Heavyweight Champion in the process.
Jake Mercer: A huge task for sure, but Effy has been on her A-game. She’s made it known she is going to do whatever it takes, for the sake of Ahren and herself! She can only go up from here.
(Neext, ‘In My Blood’ by The Score hits, eliciting LOUD cheers from the audience. Rex McAllister comes out in his signature track jacket, and an interesting weapon—a Shinai. Similar to a kendo stick but metal and with spikes, it looks dangerous as it does indestructable.)
Stephie Love: From Sea Isle, New Jersey, he is one-half of the current EAW Unified Tag Team Champions… EAW Hall of Famer, REEEEX MCALLLLIIIIIIISTEEEEEEER!
Stew-O: Huge ovation for Rex, who is always the favorite in these matches! The pressure may be there to be double champion, but Rex has been handling everything well, and he is ready to go tonight!
Jake Mercer: Raven may not have been able to get the job done earlier this evening, but that doesn’t seem to have Rex worried. He’s cool and collected, and he’s prepared for the task at hand.
Flannery McCoy: He certainly is—esepcially with that kind of weapon he’s bringing with him! :lupe: I do not want to be on the receiving end of that!
(However, those cheers quickly turn into boos once ‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage plays. Drake King comes out, with Sister Annabelle in tow. However… it appears he does not have a weapon on him.)
Stephie Love: From Heaven’s Gate, being accompanied by Sister Annabelle, he is EAW Hall of Famer, DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!
Stew-O: Interesting tactic here. No weapon is in Drake King’s possession, but that does not mean he will be helpless. Drake is perhaps the most dangerous Elitist in this match, and he can and will find a way to gain any advantage he can in a chaotic environment like this.
Jake Mercer: The fans can boo, but they know he’s a big threat in this match!
Flannery McCoy: He is, but he has also made many enemies along the way, especially with what transpired last week with him wiping out everyone and standing tall.
(‘Ballad of a Prodigal Son’ by Lincoln Durham plays. Kirk Redwood stalks on out, possessing with him a unique weapon conssiting of a leash with barbed wire attached to a metal collar. He looks around, taking in the surroundings before getting into the chamber.)
Stephie Love: Next! From Boston, Massachusetts, he is KIIIIIIIIRK REEEEEDWOOOOOOOOD!!!
Stew-O: Kirk Redwood is perhaps the most underrated Elitist here, and he has been having particular issues with Limmy Monaghan specifically. There’s been a nasty tension brewing between those two, and that’s all going to come to a head here tonight!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but if Kirk really wants to prove Limmy or anyone else who may doubt his validity as an Elitist wrong, he’s gonna have to remember what he’s here for. He can’t get too caught up in this beef! He has to focus.
Flannery McCoy: He does, and the same thing can be said for Limmy. Seeing as how everyone else is in their pods but Kirk, I guess that means we know which two will be starting off this contest…
(And finally, ‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes hits. The fans cheer as Limmy Monaghan comes out with a sledgehammer. He walks down calmly, even with Kirk clearly staring him down.)
Stephie Love: And last, residing in Golden Beach, Florida, he is LIIIIIIMMMYYY MOOOONAAAAGHAAAAAAAN!!
Stew-O: Of course, Limmy himself is not new to this situation, as it was just a few years ago where he won the EAW World Heavyweight Championship inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber. He’s touted that experience as something that he believes is going to be crucial for him to win, believing he can get the job done, and he very well could tonight!
Jake Mercer: Yessir, that’s my GOAT right there! The Father of the New Era is going to go crazy tonight, and with that, our main event starts NOW!
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go, with Limmy and Kirk starting things off and BOTH MEN IMMEDIATELY RUSH RIGHT AT ONE ANOTHER! NOTHING BUT PUNCHES BEING FLOWN INSIDE OF THE CHAMBER, AND THE FANS ARE CHEERING, LOVING THIS DISPLAY!
Jake Mercer: They aren’t horsing around, Stew! Not after how they have been going at each other leading up to this pivotal match! All of that animosity and hatred was just bound to come out, and here we are with them not wasting a single second!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, it’s just a straight up hockey fight at this point! But Kirk seems to be getting the better of Limmy and pushes him into the corner, teeing off with all sorts of punches to the body directly! He’s the one with the most to prove, and with him going up against someone he has the most issues with, he’s going to do everything he can to show Limmy directly that he isn’t messing around!
Stew-O: One more punch to the side connects! However, Limmy shoves him back and TACKLES HIM STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT! Kirk is looking to break away, but Monaghan is able to mount him and responds in kind with punches of his own! Kirk brings his arms up to block most of the shots, and he’s looking to wiggle so that he can get that leg up… which he does! A firm shove with the foot, and now, they’re both scrambling back up to a vertical base! Who’s gonna get to who first!?
Jake Mercer: Kirk swings with a punch—but Limmy shoves him back with a front kick of his own! Now he steps forward, bringing that same leg up and whirling it! Roundhouse kick—NO! Kirk dodged that, and he grabs hold of Limmy, HEADBUTTING HIM! Damn!! :damn:
Flannery McCoy: That makes the former world heavyweight champion wobble…. But—
(CRAAAAACK!)
Flannery McCoy: —LIMMY FIRES OFF WITH A HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN!
Stew-O: Kirk almost looks surprised by that, stumbling a few steps, but he manages to brace himself and comes in with a stiff forearm! What a nasty shot that was! And Limmy throws one of his own! THAT one connects as well! Now they’re going back and forth, shot for shot, just blasting one another in the face with no regard for their own safety!
Jake Mercer: This is nasty! However, Kirk may be edging out again! He shoots with a knee, striking Limmy in the gut, forcing him to double over. Kirk runs to the ropes and comes in, going for a knee lift…!
Flannery McCoy: Missed! Limmy pulled back and now he grabs him from behind! He drops him with an inverted facebuster-like slam, and Redwood’s down on the mat. Good reversal there as he scoped that one out! Now, Limmy takes hold of him by the wrist and leads him up, forcing him back up onto his feet. He twists the arm and whips him into the corner! Redwood’s back hits the turnbuckles, but Limmy isn’t done—CLOTHESLINE INTO THE CORNER! Kirk slips down into a seated position! Limmy backs up, poised to fire off with yet another attack!
Stew-O: Could be bad news for Kirk if he’s hurting already. Limmy comes on in, and he nails him with a boot!
Jake Mercer: No! Kirk caught the foot at the last second! Limmy hops on one foot, trying to yank away, but Kirk gets up and YANKS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Jesus!
Flannery McCoy: Wow, that definitely had to hurt! Limmy’s clutching his nose, but from behind, Kirk comes in and just punches him repeatedly at the back of his head! Now he’s grasping him by the hair and pummels his face into the turnbuckle! Over and over again, he’s not letting up!
Stew-O: Kirk certainly knows how to get down and dirty with the scraping. However, he’s not content with just leaving things at that. He grabs hold of Limmy and TOSSES him across the ring with the throw! Limmy lands awkwardly on his hip! He tries coming up but Redwood smashes him down with a lariat! Limmy pops up, and he just gets levelled again with another lariat, and that one seemed stiffer than the last! Limmy rolls away, not bothering to recuperate when Kirk is red hot on his tail.
Jake Mercer: That’s that ring awareness that’s going to be crucial to use as this match stretches on. This is as much of a war of wit as it is resilience, and while emotions tend to run high in this chambers, you can’t just be excitable and jump back into the fray immediately. Limmy’s now outside of the ropes, gathering himself. However, Kirk walks on out, looking to inflict further damage as he grabs his head roughly!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Kirk is a man on a mission, and one of his goals is to make sure he hurts Limmy thoroughly. Dragging him up, he turns his attention toward the chained wall! He keeps his grasp of Limmy’s head steady and SHOVES HIS FACE INTO IT!
Crowd: :lupe:
Stew-O: LIMMY BLOCKS IT! LIMMY STOPS THE MOMENTUM! KIRK GRITS HIS TEETH, DOING WHAT HE CAN TO FORCE HIS FACE CLOSER, BUT LIMMY ELBOWS HIM IN THE GUT! Kirk backpedals, but Monaghan grabs him and TOSSES KIRK INTO THE WALL! And just like that, that came to bite him back!
Jake Mercer: :yikes: I think a few of the competitors in their pods can tell how much that had to hurt. Kirk collapses to his knees, but Limmy yanks him up and does it AGAIN! Kirk falls down to his back, and you can see the pain beginning to settle in! Limmy takes hold, and this time, he drags Kirk along to that same wall, pressing the flesh of his forehead into it. He drags his face side to side, treating those chains like a damn cheese grater! Hope these people like their parm with some sauce on it!
Flannery McCoy: That is such a gross visual, Jake. Eww…
Stew-O: Nothing is savory or pretty about this match. Kirk, however, is able to strike with a punch to the liver, forcing Limmy to let go of him. There’s already some blood coming out of Redwood’s forehead, and that goes to show how easy it is for the structure of the chamber to be a weapon in its own right! Kirk wipes off that crimson, but Limmy runs at him—
(CRAAAAAAAASH!!!)
Jake Mercer: BUT HE WINDS UP HITTING THE CHAMBER WALL INSTEAD AS KIRK SIDESTEPPED!!
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
Stew-O: And just like that, momentum as flipped yet again! Limmy is down, clutching his head from hitting the wall like a battering ram! Kirk staggers to him and starts to clobber him over the lower back! Limmy tries to rise, but those hits are connecting and seem to be weakening him—and this may be bad as the countdown to the next Elitist begins! Who will enter in the match?
Crowd: FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!
(BUZZZZZZZ!)
(…)
(The lights flash, cycling through the pods, and after a moment, they stop on…)
Stew-O: REX MCALLISTER!
(The fans explode into a huge wave of cheers as Rex’s chamber door opens up, and he enters. He immediately takes off, heading in the direction of Kirk and Limmy!)
Stew-O: And one-half of the current Unified Tag Team Champions is looking for a fiery start out of the gate! RUNNING KNEE SMASH CONNECTS TO KIRK! Redwood goes down, but Rex isn’t only targeting him! He spins, and connects with a MASSIVE discus forearm to Limmy! Monaghan gets struck, and he tumbles backwards into the ring! Meanwhile, Kirk wobbles back up to his feet! He snarls and dashes toward Rex—
Jake Mercer: —which ends up being a massive mistake for him! Rex caught him! He’s stuck in his arms, and McAllister sends him UP AND OVER, WITH KIRK’S BACK CRASHING INTO THE CHAMBER WALL! WHAT A SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: What an incredible start for Rex from the get-go. Of course, with Raven losing in the Universal Women’s Championship chamber opening up the show, you just have to think that there’s extra incentive for Rex to go all out and ensure that Fire & Ice can at least have a world championship in their possession—and for Rex in particular, winning this match couldn’t be anymore poetic for him!
Stew-O: The fans certainly love Rex, and they love the idea of him being able to capture another world championship in his career. He gets into the ring, and Limmy is having to use the ropes to help keep himself steady as he’s back on his feet. However, he’s not going to get much in the way of any further reprieve, because Rex is right there, pushing him into those same ropes—
(SMAAAAAACK!!!)
Crowd: WOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: Jesus, what a chop that was! :ohlawd: Limmy almost drops down from that, and man, I would hate to be in his position right now…
Flannery McCoy: Don’t think there would be many people that would disagree with you on that front, Jake—especially with Rex peeling that same arm back and letting ANOTHER chop rip! That sounded louder than the last one! You can see a welt beginning to form along that skin too! Rex is not messing around here!
Stew-O: He isn’t. He understand the urgency, how it’s crucial to exhaust your opponents as quickly as possible, and he isn’t going to let this long-awaited chance slip through his fingers. Taking a hold of Monaghan’s wrist, he Irish whips him across the ring!
Jake Mercer: Hang on! Limmy actually managed to reverse it! Rex goes running—
Flannery McCoy: —but he reverses it himself! Limmy runs off again—
Jake Mercer: OH! HE JUST BLASTED IN THE FACE BY KIRK REDWOOD ON THE OUTSIDE WHO MANAGED TO PICK UP THE SLEDGEHAMMER FROM EARLIER AND USE IT! LIMMY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT HIT HIM! HE STAGGERS BACKWARDS…!!!
Stew-O: And right into the waiting arms of Rex McAllister, who wastes no time popping him up and SENDING HIM DOWN ONTO THE KNEES WITH THE BACKBREAKER! OH MY GOD! LIMMY MONAGHAN GOT FOLDED!
Flannery McCoy: What a horrible, horrible landing that was! Rex goes for the cover, looking to eliminate him immediately from this contest!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Limmy kicks out! Rex rolls off of him—BUT FROM BEHIND IS KIRK, WHO JUST BLITZED HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A FOREARM! The fans boo, not liking that cheap shot, but Kirk has been able to recover after that awful toss and looks intent on paying Rex back for that! He grabs McAllister and lifts him up—DROPPING HIM DOWN ON TOP OF LIMMY WITH THE GOURDBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: Whoa! That was devastating as it was smart on his part! Limmy coughs and rolls away, clutching those ribs that we know he has a history of injury and discomfort with, while Kirk runs to the ropes again! And this time, he smacks the absolute crap out of Rex with the sliding forearm! A brutal shot takes the tag champ down, and Kirk goes for a pin here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Kick out! Kirk sits up, slamming his hand down onto the mat. However, he just needs to remain focused. Rex is starting to stir, and if he’s able to pick up back that pace, it can be bad news for Redwood!
Jake Mercer: Seems like he realizes that. He quickly grabs hold of Rex and starts to pepper him with a series of forearms, looking to batter him in and weaken him all at once. Rex can’t do much in this situation, no fighting back from him as he gradually slumps down to a knee. Kirk releases him, and smushes his face with a boot! Rex falls back down. Kirk wipes off some of the blood that’s streaming down his face again, taking just a quick second to gain his breath—
Flannery McCoy: Oh, but that may have been a mistake! Limmy is back and immediately wraps his arms around him from behind! He lifts him up for a German suplex!
Stew-O: But… Kirk is able to ground himself! He’s fighting it! Limmy shows some signs of frustration realizing what’s going on. He hits Kirk on the back of his head—but look! Rex is working hsi way back up to his feet! He runs forward, and CLOCKS KIRK WITH A JUMPING KNEE—
Jake Mercer: —Which inadvertently helps Limmy out, and he’s able to drop Redwood with that suplex! Shoulders are on the mat!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Kick out by Redwood, and this time, he’s the one who rolls out of the way! He desperately needed that!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Rex and Limmy come to a respective stand, though Rex remains the far fresher competitor! Rex gets the drop sooner and bludgeons Limmy with a forearm! However, Limmy reciporcates the attack—and we have another Elitists ready to enter the fray!
Crowd: FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!
(BUZZZZZZZ!)
(…)
(The lights flash, cycling through the pods, and after a moment, they stop on…)
Stew-O: Effy McAvoy is in! She turns her head over to Ahren, who seems to be shouting at her what to do! He points up… wait, at the chamber pod? What is he telling her to do, exactly?
Jake Mercer: I guess we’re gonna find out, because Effy listens to him and starts to scale to the top! The NOLA fans rise up, wanting to see what she has planned! Meanwhile, Limmy and Rex are duking it out, unaware of where exactly she’s headed!
‘
Flannery McCoy: And it seems like their dueling and brawling is bringing them unintentionally closer to her area! Effy is now at the top of the chamber pod, standing over them!
Crowd: :damn: !!
Jake Mercer: AND SHE WAITS FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT TO FLY THROUGH THE AIR, CRASHING DOWN ONTO LIMMY AND REX WITH THE TWISTING CROSSBODY! HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
Flannery McCoy: The fans can’t help but go ballistic for that spot! That was amazing! But above all: it worked! Both men are completely laid out on the mat while Effy pops up, feeling the adrenaline coursing through her veins from that! Ahren nods, impressed that little plan worked!
Stew-O: Taking risks is a necessity in this chamber, and Effy is already showing that she knows that! She scans between Limmy and Rex, and decides to target Limmy! Former Brand Warfare teammates turned opponents, just like Rex, but that has no bearing here as she sets Limmy up for the ‘GOAT Trot’!!
Jake Mercer: AND SHE GETS IT! HOLY CRAP, SHE GETS IT! LIMMY IS DOWN, AND EFFY IMMEDIATELY SHOOTS FOR THE COVER!! CAN SHE TAKE OUT A MAJOR THREAT IN THIS MATCH RIGHT AWAY!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREE—
Flannery McCoy: No! Shoulder up! And Effy doesn’t look happy at all with that, neither does Ahren, but he’s yelling at her to keep the pressure up! Effy gets up and grabs Limmy. She gets him on his hands and knees, and I think we know where this is headed!
Stew-O: Absolutely, and there’s no time to waste! She backs up and runs! ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’!!
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!)
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD!
Flannery McCoy: KIRK REDWOOD CAME BACK AND CRACKED HER OVER THE BACK WITH THAT BARBED WIRE LEASH!!
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Jake Mercer: Damn! That was a wicked hit! Effy drops down to the mat, and Kirk comes in, hitting her over and over again with it like a whip!
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: Effy writhes around in pain, all of that barbed wire cutting through the fabric and getting to her skin! However, Kirk isn’t done, and he stalks over toward Rex, who’s trying to get back—
(THWACK!)
Jake Mercer: THAT CAUGHT HIM RIGHT ALONG THE RIGHT CHEEK! :damn:
Stew-O: And Rex goes down, clutching that area! You can see him bleeding from that spot! Kirk presses on, and now, he’s right in front of Limmy Monaghan, holding that leash and collar firmly.
Kirk Redwood: (off-mic) Goodnight, Ace.
Jake Mercer: What’s this?!
(Click.)
Flannery McCoy: He attached the collar around Limmy. :oh: Is he gonna drag him around–
(BZZZZT!!)
Crowd: !?!?!?!?!
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?
(Electrical currents zip through the collar and onto Limmy. He yells out in discomfort, falling onto his side.)
Stew-O: IT’S A— IT’S A SHOCK COLLAR!! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Jake Mercer: WHAT!?
(The shocking ends, and Limmy is in a weakened state.)
Crowd: :lupe: :lupe: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: That is terrible, just absolutely barbaric!
Jake Mercer: Oh man, oh man! This is bad! That weapon can hurt you in two different ways! Kirk definitely made sure he brought something that was going to do some extra damage, and Limmy is all but incapacitated at this rate!
Stew-O: Yeah, especially with him and Kirk being the first people to have started this match, and we’ve seen how much they were able to damage one another as well as endure the punishment coming from Rex and Effy. However, perhaps this is the end of the road for Limmy, as Kirk pulls him by the hair and—
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!)
Jake Mercer: WHOA!! KIRK IS DOWN!!
(Kirk collapses seemingly out of nowhere, clutching at his shoulder and back. The fans then cheer as Rex McAllister is seen right behind him…)
Stew-O: And it’s because of Rex! Rex has that Shinai, and he raises it up once more! He SLAMS IT DOWN HARD ACORSS REDWOOD’S BACK! BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO POUR OUT OF IT!
Jake Mercer: Well, Kirk cracked him in the face with that leash and cut him open! Turnabout is fair play, and it didn’t take long for things to get crazy and bloody! Rex lifts the weapon up again and SLAMS it down yet again—and oh God, the spikes and embedded deep into the flesh this time! JESUS, LOOK HOW THEY’RE CLINGING ON!
(A couple of fans look like they’re going to gag as Rex has to practically rip the Shinai off of Kirk’s back. More blood rushes out, and Kirk is becoming weaker and weaker by the second…)
Stew-O: What a visceral sight. It’s enough to even make the most hard-stoned person squirm in discomfort! Kirk is trying to stand on his feet, but Rex hits the ropes! HE HITS THE ‘REX EFFECT’ — AND HE DROPS KIRK’S FACE DOWN ONTO THE SHINAI!!
Jake Mercer: HOLY FUCK! THAT HAS TO BE IT!!
Flannery McCoy: RIGHT ON THAT WOUND THAT LIMMY WAS ABLE TO OPEN UP, TOO! KIRK IS DOWN! REX ROLLS HIM OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stephie Love: Kirk Redwood has been eliminated!
Stew-O: AND THERE WE GO, THAT IS OUR FIRST ELIMINATION FOR THIS CHAMBER! REX WAS ABLE TO GET RID OF KIRK, AND FRANKLY, IT WAS MUCH NEEDED!
Jake Mercer: No kidding! Shit was looking scary for a bit for the rest of the field, including Rex, but in the end, he was able to get Kirk when it mattered the most! A good effort from Kirk considering he started this match, but all of that damage ended up coming back to bite him in the rear.
Flannery McCoy: And that means another failed opportunity to be a world champion. You have to wonder what’s next for him… but what we do know is that the next participant is about to come out, and it’s down to either Michael Machina or Drake King!
Crowd: FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!
(BUZZZZZZZ!)

(The lights flash, cycling through the pods, and after a moment, they stop on…)
Crowd: # BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: Damn EAW fans, tell us how you really feel.
(Drake King comes out of his pod. He enters cooly despite the vitrolic reaction from the fans.)
Stew-O: Drake King is here, and while he has no weapon, he’s looking to take advantage of the situation! He comes in and attacks Rex, hitting him over the back, and the fans are continuing to boo him! Sister Annabelle watches on, seeing the frenzied pace that he’s quickly taking over with!
Jake Mercer: Drake isn’t about to waste anytime. He’s been wanting the world heavwyeight title ever since he failed to win it back at Pain for Pride against Joso and Cy Henderson. We all saw for ourselves how that has messed with me, and now, here we are six months later with him looking to avenge himself for that. He grabs Rex and TOSSES HIM INTO THE CORNER! Rex goes shoulder-first into that steel post, and he slumps down! Just like that, Drake is doing major damage!
Flannery McCoy: But from behind is Effy, who hops up onto his back and goes for a rear choke! Drake’s eyes widen, arms flailing as he realizes she’s on him! But he reaches back, holding her head in place, and charges backwards, crashing her back-first into the other corner! Effy lets go, still reeling from when Kirk attacked that area, and Drake strikes with an enzuigiri! McAvoy drops to the mat!
Stew-O: She may have just garnered herself the ire of Drake, though! He grabs her and sets her up, placing her on top of the turnbuckle. He climbs, striking her in the face. Drake takes a steady hold and traps her arm. Could be going for a massive superplex from this position!
Jake Mercer: He very well could—if Effy still didn’t have her wits about her! Punch to the gut lands, and Drake flinches. She goes for another punch, but Drake hits her, intent on stopping her before she can find a way to come back from this! He tries again—
Flannery McCoy: AND HE GETS RAKED IN THE EYES FOR HIS TROUBLES! Drake goes down, shaking his head as he tries to settle his vision! However, Effy stands up and FLIES OFF WITH A HURRICANARANA! SHE TURNS IT INTO A QUICK PINNING PREDICAMENT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Nope, not good enough! Effy fights through the pain to stand up, all while Drake heads over to the ropes. She pops up from behind, going for a backstabber—BUT DRAKE HANGS ON TO THE TOP ROPE, CAUSING HER TO SLAM DOWN ON THAT BRUISED-UP BACK!
Effy grits her teeth and rolls around, feet kicking!
Jake Mercer: Drake is able to gather his senses again, and turns his head, seeing that Limmy is barely recovering himself! He’s trying to get the collar off of his neck that Kirk clamped him down with, but he isn’t able to open it! I—I think it may be stuck, guys! :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, even with Kirk out of the match, his handiwork is still very much apparent… and it seems like Drake is taking notice of it. He grabs hold of the leash and yanks it, forcing Limmy toward him! He grabs hold and sends him down with a quick snap suplex! Limmy winces from taking the force of that! He tries to sit up, but he gets met with a measure kick on the spine as a result, and back down he goes! Drake lays the barbed-wire leashed against his abdomen and stomps down hard on it, driving those barbed ends into his flesh! Oh my goodness!
Stew-O: And Limmy is screaming, crying out in complete anguish! He shoves Drake away, but all that does is make him take a mere step back, it wasn’t enough force to do much of anything. Limmy crawls over to the corner, clutching his abdomen. Blood is beginning to trickle out from where Drake stomped him at…
Jake Mercer: This match is getting nastier and nastier. I hope the fans in attendance got their barf bags ready to go at any moment. Jeez…
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely—but Drake may want to get ready himself because Rex is waddling back over! He grabs his shoulder and whirls him around, looking to strike with one hand—
Stew-O: And Drake blocks the weak shot! He fires off with a punch of his own! Rex seems to be fighting with one arm as he’s keeping the left one close to his body, but it’s an obvious target as Drake grabs that arm and trips him down, causing McAllister to crash down hard on the shoulder! He is ruthless right now!
Jake Mercer There’s no remorse in his eyes! He’s targeting that damaged shoulder of Rex McAllister with a malicious precision, and as a result, Rex is in pure agony! He’s trying to crawl away, trying to get to the ropes, but here comes King with the grab of the arm again—AND TWISTS IT INTO A FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Flannery McCoy: But look at how he transitions it! Drake wrenches back, and now he’s pulled Rex into the center of the ring with a awful-looking crossface! He’s using that same damaged arm to torque the hold, and Rex’s face is twisted in pain!
Crowd: REX! REX! REX! REX! REX!
Stew-O: The fans trying to rally Rex back into it, but Drake leans in deeper, almost whispering something into Rex’s ear as he yanks back harder. This is vicious. This is about more than just the win—this is Drake making a statement, and it seems like he’s looking to break down Rex and the other competitors in his conquest to capture world championship gold once again!
Jake Mercer: But wait—THERE’S EFFY! EFFY SPRINGS BACK INTO ACTION! BASEBALL SLIDE TO THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S HEAD! The hold is broken, and Drake holds onto where she struck him at!
Flannery McCoy: Just in time for Rex, too! That worked out well for him as he is able to roll away, clutching at the shoulder like it’s hanging on by a thread—but Effy’s not done! SHE CHARGES AND HITS A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO DRAKE! DRAKE FALLS TO A KNEE!
Stew-O: Effy is FIRING UP! Even after that brutal attack earlier and the back damage, she’s fighting through! She hits the ropes again—AND SHE’S GOING FOR THE SWINGING NECKBREAKER TO DRAKE KING!
Jake Mercer: Ah, but he manages to scope that one out! He ducked underneath her arms and grabs her from behind, sending her rolling down! Popping back up, he goes for a BASEMENT SUPERKICK!
Flannery McCoy: But Effy dips her head down, avoiding it altogether—WAIT! DRAKE WAS ABLE TO GO FOR ANOTHER KICK, AND THAT CLIPPED HER THAT TIME! EFFY IS ROCKED! DRAKE GRABS HER ARMS AND PULLS HER IN! I THINK HE’S GOING FOR THE PEDIGREE—
(CRAAAAAAAAAAACK!!)
Stew-O: BUT HE’S HIT OVER THE BACK BY LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH THAT LEASH, AND DRAKE IS FORCED TO LET GO OF EFFY! HOW ON EARTH DID LIMMY RECOVER!?
Jake Mercer: I don’t know, but the Ace is back in the game and is using that same leash that has brutlized him to help him out here!
Flannery McCoy: And look at the rage in Limmy’s eyes! That leash is digging into Drake’s skin as Limmy yanks it back! Drake is gritting his teeth, trying to pull it off, but Limmy’s got the strength advantage here, even with the pain and exhaustion settling in!
Jake Mercer: This is starting to look like a tug of war in hell! Limmy pulls, and Drake pulls back! They’re wrapped in the leash now! It’s around both of their arms and necks, but neither man is letting go!
Crowd: :lupe:
Stew-O: They’re trying to choke each other out with the same weapon! Barbed wire is cutting into both of them, blood is starting to seep from their forearms and shoulders—But wait! EFFY’S BACK UP! Effy’s wiping something from her mouth as she gets back up and walks toward Drake King! SHE SPITS RIGHT AT HIM!
Jake Mercer: BLOOD MIST!! BLOOD MIST RIGHT TOWARD DRAKE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE DUCKS!! LIMMY GETS SPRAYED RIGHT IN THE EYES!!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY’S BLINDED!! HE’S STUMBLING BACK AND THE LEASH FALLS FROM BOTH THEIR HANDS!
Flannery McCoy: Effy looks a bit shocked from that, but she sees Drake sneering at her, and quickly tries to attack him! He pushes her off and BLASTS HER WITH A LARIAT!!! Effy FLIPS INSIDE OUT!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! He just decapitated her!
Stew-O: Drake turns and sees Limmy still swinging wildly, still wiping at his eyes, unable to see anything clearly at this point! DRAKE PICKS UP THE LEASH AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: No, no, not again…!!
Jake Mercer: HE WHIPS IT AROUND LIMMY’S NECK AND PULLS HIM DOWN! HE RUNS IN WITH ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!! CURB STOMP!! CURB STOMP RIGHT INTO THE BARBED WIRE LEASH!!
Stew-O: NOOO!! HE JUST DRILLED LIMMY INTO THE BARBS! HIS FACE IS COMPLETELY SLASHED OPEN!
Flannery McCoy: Drake turns him over and hooks the leg, cold as ice.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(…)
Stephie Love: Limmy Monaghan has been eliminated!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: :damn: !!
Stew-O: And this may have been a bit of a surprising outcome, but if anyone is able to make Limmy Monaghan the second elimination, it’s Drake King himself! What a brutal way for him to leave this match as well, but it happened before our eyes. Back to the drawing board for the Ace…
(The fans continue to boo, not at all happy with the outcome. However, Drake smirks, more than satisfied that the field is becoming smaller.)
(Four now remain.)
Jake Mercer: Damn. Two eliminations now, and that means, and not everyone has been in the match yet! Our Elitists are not fucking around here!
Flannery McCoy: They aren’t, and at least the field is down, but that means that one more person is getting ready to enter the fray…
(The fans count down.)
Crowd: FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!
(BUZZZZZZZ!)
(…)
(The lights flash, cycling through the pods, and for the final time of the night, the lights stop on the last closed pod…)
(Drake King’s attention immediately turns toward it.)
Stew-O: And here we go!
(The pod door opens, and Michael Machina, the defending world heavyweight champion, comes right out.)
Jake Mercer: Here we go! Big Mike is here, and he isn’t gonna be intimidated in the slightest! He gets in the ring, and immediately walks right up to Drake King! Both men stare daggers into each other! Shit is about to go DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: And Drake and Michael—get thwarted as Effy and Rex jump back in, respectively! Effy pushes Drake into the corner, thrusting her shoulder into his gut while Rex is trying to get the better of the champion right away! Michael uses his power to shove Rex off of him, and he pushes him into the corner himself, laying into him with various stomps to the stomach!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Effy seems to be getting ahead here! She comes in with a forearm, but Drake kicks her away! She backpedals—BUT RUNS IN WITH A STEP-UP KNEE TO THE FACE! That catches Drake and she wraps her arm around his head, almost in a bulldog-like position. She runs forward, ready to take him down!
Jake Mercer: But he shoves her forward, while Michael was able to get Rex off, and he CHARGES RIGHT AT HIM!
Crowd: :damn:
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!)
Jake Mercer: ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ TO EFFY MCAVOY!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HOLY CRAP! HE CUT HER RIGHT IN HALF WITH THAT SPEAR! HE WAS GOING FOR REX, BUT HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER INDIRECT HIT MANAGES TO TAKE AN ELITIST OUT!
Stew-O: Michael doesn’t seem to be remorseful though about it—AND NEITHER IS DRAKE KING AS HE QUICKLY PUSHES MICHAEL INTO REX! Both men take an awkward fall, with Rex especially tumbling to the outside, and Drake covers Effy! Is this going to be another elimination!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEE…..!!
(…)
(…)
Stephie Love: Effy McAvoy has been eliminated!
Jake Mercer: And just like that, Effy is out! Ahren is NOT at all happy about how all of that turned out! He’s absolutely incensed!
Flannery McCoy: This was poised to be a breakout performance for Effy, but unfortunately, her night ends thanks to that horrific-looking ‘Bullet From Hell’. Ahren at least comes to assist her as the chamber door is open and help her out. Now, we are down to the final three!
(After Effy is taken out of the match, Drake looks around. Rex is still trying to recover on the outside, but Michael is more than ready to take him on himself.)
Stew-O: This match slows down for no one! Michael comes in with a clothesline, which Drake narrowly avoids! He connects with a back elbow and grabs Michael, looking to take him up with a suplex! However, Machina guards against the attempt! He strikes with a punch to the gut, and Drake lets go! Drake goes in, looking to connect with a rolling elbow–
Jake Mercer: And Michael thwarts him, blocking the shot! Drake tries for a kick, but Michael catches to foot and LATCHES ONTO DRAKE BY THE THROAT! He lifts him up—SPINEBUSTER! Drake goes crashing down from that, and Michael goes for the pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO….
Jake Mercer: Kick out from King, and this may be the first time in this match where he’s been properly caught off guard. The champion works with haste now that he was able to get the better of Drake and hoists him up onto his shoulders! He DUMPS him out to the outside, and King takes a nasty collision with the chamber flooring! He tries to get up, but you can see how much that has hurt him! Michael comes on out and picks him up again, this time in a powerbomb positon!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, but Drake isn’t willing to let him do whatever it is he has planned easily! He fires off with rapid punches, doing everything he can to try and stun the champion! Michael is struggling since he’s in a compromising position, he can’t defend himself, so he’s just getting hit repeatedly!
Stew-O: And… it appears that Michael is letting him go! Drake lands on his feet! Michael shakes his head, but looks determined to catch him off guard before he can do the same to him. He grabs Drake and tosses him into the pod!
Jake Mercer: NO—DRAKE REVERSED! MICHAEL’S FACE GOES BOUNCING OFF OF THE WALL OF THE POD, AND MACHINA DROPS TO BOTH KNEES AS A RESULT! Drake was able to hurt him first!
Flannery McCoy: And Drake grabs his head, thrashing it into the structure once again! Michael goes down. He almost looks as though he’s seeing stars!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: Drake King is in his element! Meanwhile, R ex is getting up, and Drake sees this! He heads over in his direction, ready to hurt him even more!
Jake Mercer: He sure is! Jake Mercer: Drake moves in AND HE STRIKES WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE SHOULDER! REX GOES FLYING BACK INTO THE CHAINS! You could see the whiplash through his entire body! That shoulder has taken a beating all match, and Drake King has not forgotten it. He’s zoning in on it like a laser! Rex tries to push himself up again, but in comes Drake with a NASTY STOMP TO THAT SAME AREA! The steel grating underneath is amplifying the damage!
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Flannery McCoy: More animosity pouring out from the fans in attendance, but Drake doesn’t care what they chant! He pulls Rex up by the hair, just to sneer in his face, and SLAPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!
Drake King: (off-mic) Face it, Rex: YOU’RE NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!
Stew-O: The fans are NOT liking the disrespect—OH! BUT REX FIRES OFF WITH A SLAP OF HIS OWN, AND THAT WHIPS DRAKE’S HEAD TO THE SIDE! AND THAT GETS THE CROWD TO COME ALIVE AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: It does, but Drake is intent on hurting Rex! He grabs his head and TOSSES HIM TOWARD THE WALL!
Flannery McCoy: NO! REX’S HAND STOPS THE MOMENTUM, AND HE SPINS AROUND, SLAMMING DRAKE IN THE FACE WITH A FOREARM! EVEN WITH HIM PRACTICALLY HAVING TO FIGHT WITH ONE ARM, HE’S ABLE TO CATCH DRAKE OFF GUARD! KING SCURRIES UP, BUT MCALLISTER LATCHES ONTO HIS HEAD! HE RUNS TO THE WALL, AND—WHOA!!
Stew-O: REX JUST LAUNCHED OFF OF IT WITH HIS FOOT, CONNECTING WITH A HEAD-SPIKING TORNADO DDT!! AND I THINK THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A UNIQUE VARIANT OF THE ‘REX EFFECT’ RIGHT THERE!!
Jake Mercer: You may be right! Drake rolls back into the ring just from the sheer impact of that move, and Rex hustles, pain be damned, to cover him! Everyone else has been able to get gone immediately! Will this be the case again and get Drake out of here!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: Oh my God…
Jake Mercer: DRAKE KING KICKS OUT!!
Crowd: :noah:
Flannery McCoy: Damn! That was close, but Drake was able to lift the shoulder up in time before that final slap of the mat happened! Some of the fans boo as they hoped Drake would’ve been gone from the match, but he persists!
Stew-O: And Rex sits up, a lingering sense of disappointment apparent from him. However, he has Drake hurting badly. King rolls away to the corner, and Rex realizes that he’s trying to escape! He gets up—but in comes Michael Machina, who’s right back into the fray and cuts him off with a clothesline from out of nowhere!
Jake Mercer: :damn: Almost cut his head clean off from that! Rex is down, and that leaves Michael as the last man standing! He turns his attention back over to Drake, who’s looking to get back up on his feet, and Michael is right there to immediately cut him off! Fist after fist connects!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, the champion is carrying out business here, and swiftly! He grabs Drake by the neck and raises him up to the top! Once again, another risky situation here, but Michael is looking to cut the field down himself so that he has a better of chance of retaining—and right now, the biggest threat in this match is Drake King!
Stew-O: Michael has him up! He gets to the top himself, which isn’t a frequent sight, but he’s ready to put him away! He forces him to stand, and Michael hits him with one last punch for good measure! He laces his arm around his shoulder—
Jake Mercer: —BUT IN COMES REX MCALLISTER, WHO GRABS MICHAEL AND—OHCRAPOHCRAPOHCRAP, OH NO!!!
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!)
Flannery McCoy: REX WAS ABLE TO SEND MICHAEL DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB—AND DRAKE TAKES A HORRIFIC LANDING ON THE SHINAI! BACK FIRST, HE HITS ALL OF THIS SPIKES, AND DRAKE IS IN COMPLETE AND UTTER AGONY HERE! :damn:
Stew-O: And the audience is eating it up! Drake is hurt in a severe way, and Michael didn’t take that fall easy himself! Rex rolls over and, with Michael being the closest to him, he crawls over—and HE’S GOING FOR THE SUBMISSION! ‘REX LOCK’! ‘REX LOCK’ IS BEING APPLIED HERE!
Jake Mecer: HE’S USING THE GOOD ARM TO GET THAT STF ON—AND IT’S WORKING!! WE MIGHT BE GUARANTEED TO HAVE A NEW CHAMPION HERE TONIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: It’s amazing how Rex has been able to fight through the pain, regardless of some of the gnarly moves he’s had to take! Michael is trying to find a way out of this, but Rex isn’t giving up! He wants to make Machina tap here and now!
Stew-O: And you have to wonder who’s going to be the first to break here! Can Rex keep the submission hold long enough the further Michael fights, or will the champion himself tap out and end his reign this way!?
Jake Mercer: Michael… Michael is dragging himself over to that weapon of Rex’s! He reaches over to the Shinai and BRINGS IT UP TO REX’S FOREHEAD!! HE’S DIGGING IT INTO HIS SKIN, AND REX IS CRYING OUT! NOTHING BUT RED COMING DOWN, QUICKLY COVERING HIS FACE WITH NOTHING BUT CRIMSON!
Crowd: :damn:
Flannnery McCoy: Oh God, this is just too much—Rex relinquishes the hold and quickly rolls away, holding onto his forehead, but more blood is dribbling out! Meanwhile, Michael is working his way back up to his feet! Rex is trying to get up, but Machina beats him to the punch and hoists him up…!
Jake Mecer: AND DOWN HE GOES WITH THE ‘.50 CAL’ POWERBOMB!! MICHAEL IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE PIN!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEE…!
(…)
(…)
Stephie Love: Rex McAllister has been eliminated!
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: That is it! What a valiant effort from Rex tonight, but it just wasn’t enough! And with that, we are now down to our final two!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, he really gave it his all, but unfortunately for him, Michael got the better of him. All of that damage just added up in the end. Hopefully, Rex can heal up, because while he and Raven didn’t win tonight, they still have the tag championships to focus on.
(Some of the fans in attendance are clearly heartbroken about the result. However, Rex is out of the running, and after he’s helped out, the final two is set.)
Flannery McCoy: Michael is up on his feet! Drake is as well, but wow—look at how cut up his back is from that landing! Drake is looking worse for wear in comparison to the champion, but he doesn’t seem intent on backing down.
Stew-O: On the flipside, Michael is going to have to be careful. As vulnerable as Drake may be, he is still a true danger for anyone.
(Both men stalk toward each other.)
Michael Machina: (off-mic) I hope this was all worth it to you, you jackass.
Drake King: (off-mic) Shut up—
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: A STRAIGHT PUNCH TO THE FACE! MICHAEL ISN’T PULLING BACK ON ANYTHING HERE! HE COMES AT DRAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN, MAKING SURE HE CONNECTS WITH EVERY STRIKE! DRAKE BACKPEDALS INTO THE ROPES AND EXITS OUT, DESPERATELY LOOKING TO GAIN SOME DISTANCE AWAY FROM MACHINA!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, I don’t blame him—Michael is going CRAZY HERE! The champion is in hot pursuit, ready to make sure that Drake King loses tonight! He grabs him and SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH A SCOOP SLAM! All of that power just drove Drake’s back hard against the chamber flooring, and with a yell like that, we don’t even need to imagine how much that hurt him!
Flannery McCoy: Michael grabs Drake and TOSSES HIS FACE INTO THE WALL! Drake stumbles, getting weaker and weaker by the second! However, he can’t recover—not with Michael tossing him into that SAME wall! It’s like he’s ragdolling him at this point! Drake may have been able to move like a slippery eel and weasel his way throughout this chamber, but now that he’s facing Michael head-on, he’s in serious trouble!
Jake Mercer: I wouldn’t say weasel, Drake has been moving smart—but he isn’t the only one who has been on a mission tonight, and right now, Michael may very well be close to ending this match right here and now! Drake tries to crawl, but Michael yanks him up by the hair! AND TOSSES HIM AGAIN—NO! DRAKE PLANTS A FOOT ON THE WALL! AND HE SPRINGS BACK WITH A BACK ELBOW! HE GOT HIM RIGHT IN THE TEMPLE!
Stew-O: Good counter there, with his survival instincts kicking in to save him! However, that doesn’t seem to keep Michael stunned for long! Michael grabs Drake again, and TOSSES HIM HARD AT THE CHAMBER POD! Drake’s back collides with it, and down he goes once more!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe: !!
Stew-O: Drake is doing his best to get up, but Michael has his eyes laser-focused on him, gaze trained on the last person that needs to get out of this match! He charges forward, AND HE’S GOING TO SNAP DRAKE THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD WITH THE SPEAR!!
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH THE POD!!! HE JUST SPEARED HIMSELF THROUGH THE GLASS! SHARDS EVERYWHERE! :damn:
Crowd: HOL-Y SHIT! HO-LY SHTI! HO-LY SHIT!*
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, AND NOW, MACHINA IS A MOTIONLESS HEAP AMONG THE SHATTERED PLEXIGLASS!
Stew-O: Drake King… can barely stand. He’s stumbling backward, using the ropes to hold himself up. His face says it all with that sly smirk coming to the surface. He knows that was a game-changer—but can he capitalize?
Jake Mercer: That’s what he’s trying to do as he shambles over and grabs Michael by the arm. He’s practically like dead weight! It’s a struggle, with all of that heaving and pulling, but eventually… Drake is able to get him out of that pile! Jesus, and just LOOK at Michael!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, this is BAD! He’s cut everywhere! He may have knocked himself silly from that collision, too! Drake rolls him back into the ring, and it seems like he may have one last trick up his sleeve!
Stew-O: He does. Drake may be many things, but he isn’t stupid—he knows it’s going to take a lot to truly put Michael away, and he’s set on ensuring that he will not be able to fight back! Drake climbs to the top rope while Machina is laying down, not moving much, if at all! And with no restraint, no fighting back, Drake has a clear pathway as he stands at the top…!
Jake Mercer: Here he goes! Drake takes off—AND HE LANDS ON TOP OF MICHAEL WITH THE PHOENIX SPLASH!! HE GOT ALL OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Picture perfect as you can get given the circumstances! Drake winces in pain, but he hooks the leg, and the official counts on his behalf! This could be the end of the match!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE….!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE….!
(…)
(…)
(…!)
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP!!
Jake Mercer: What!? How!?? How could Michael have the wherewithal to break the pin attempt?!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, but the fans are loving it—and Drake King is NOT! His eyes go wide in shock as he realizes that the referee isn’t calling the match in his favor!
Drake King: (off-mic) Are you kidding me!?
Stew-O: Drake glares at the referee. However, they are not backing down! They maintain that Michael has kicked out! Drake is in disbelief! And he SLAMS his fist down onto the mat in anger!
Jake Mercer: He was so close, so close! But now, it’s about driving it all home—
Flannery McCoy: –WHICH HE DOES WITH ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!!! CURB STOMP CONNECTS, AND HE GOES BACK IN FOR THE PIN!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…..!!!
(…)
Stew-O: ANOTHER KICKOUT!! DRAKE KING IS AT A LOST FOR WORDS!!!
(Drake rolls away from Michael, sitting up, forearms along his knees as he sits in complete silence. A quiet storm brews within as once again, his chance to end the match escapes him. He breathes heavily. He sneers. He shakes his head, not wanting to believe that any of this is happening.)
Jake Mercer: Oh, boy. I think literal steam is about to come out his ears soon, guys.
(The fans roar with cheers, glad that things aren’t working out for Drake. However, as he sits and stews… a dangerous glint flickers in his eye. Pushing past his own wave of pain that’s circling throughout his body, he gets up. It’s a slow, aching movement, but he stands and shambles over toward where Sister Annabelle is standing on the outside.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Enough is enough… give it to me.
(Sister Annabelle looks at him. With a closer look through the camera, there seems to be something in her sleeve.)
Stew-O: What’s this? Did we pick up on that correctly? :comeagain: Drake didn’t enter with a weapon at all, yet is he calling for one from Sister Annabelle?
Flannery McCoy: Of course. I guess the going has gotten too tough for him.
Jake Mercer: Hey, nothing wrong with a contingency plan!
Flannery McCoy: :usure:
(Sister Annabelle looks at Drake… and she shakes her head.)
Sister Annabelle: (off-mic) I’m afraid not. My apologies.
Drake King: (off-mic) Come again?
Sister Annabelle: (off-mic) No, I am not handing you it. You made your decision. Now, you must finish this match accordingly.
Drake King: :wtf:
(Drake’s eyes cut dangerously close, anger rising.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Are you insane? How stupid can you be? Now is not the time for you to grandstand with me! Give me the weapon!
(She shakes her head. Drake’s eyes look as if they’re about to pop out of his skull.)
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
(He grits his teeth, fingers curling tightly into fists, limbs trembling out of sheer anger—but he’s able to calm himself down.)
Drake King: (off-mic) …fine. I will finish things. I will win, and when I’m done, you and I are going to have a chat.
(Sister Annabelle doesn’t seem bothered by the cold tone in his voice, or his voice. Drake, annoyed, turns around.)
Flannery McCoy: HOLY SHIT!
(Drake backs up into the wall and slowly slides down against it, as though he were shot in the head unceremoniously. However, as the camera shot switches, it reveals that a thumbtack-covered Timb boot is latched onto his forehead. His right hand rises up, quivering at how blood is quickly covering over his eyes and face.)
Stew-O: AND THAT BACKFIRED SPECTACULARLY! DRAKE KING GETS SNIPED BY MICHAEL MACHINA WITH HIS WEAPON! THE SAME ONE THAT HE BROUGHT IN AND HELPED HIM WIN LAST YEAR’S EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHAMBER!
Jake Mercer: :damn:
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL RECOVERED! HE’S STILL HURT, BUT HE POWERS THROUGH AND TOSSES DRAKE BACK INTO THE RING! HE GRABS HIM AND DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME—’.50 CAL’ CONNECTS!!
Stew-O: HERE WE GO! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN AND COUNTS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(…)
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep blares out, and the fans cheer! Michael Machina rolls off of Drake King, hurt and tired, but he manages to survive in the end. Pain rocks his body as he scoots over to the ropes, leaning back against them.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AAAAAAAAND STILL the EAW World Heavyweight Champion… MIIIIICHAAAAAAEL MAAAAACHIIIIIINAAAAAAAAA!!!
Stew-O: What a main event here tonight! Michael Machina gets to see he knows what it feels like to win an Extreme Elimination Chamber both as the challenger and the defending champion! He sealed the deal, and he gets to end 2025 at the top of his game! What a performance!
Jake Mercer: It sure was! I don’t know what was up between Drake and Sister Annabelle, but that seemed to pave the way for Michael to recover and get the win! Did you see how he threw that shoe, too!? Damn. That shit is still stuck on Drake’s head!
Flannery McCoy: Everything was going well for Drake up until that moment. Once more, the EAW World Heavyweight Championship eludes him… and I’m a bit worried about how he’s going to take everything. :lupe: But tonight, it belongs to Michael Machina. Congratulations to him!
Stew-O: And with that, night one of Road to Redemption is in the books! Thank you all for tuning in, and we will see you again LIVE tomorrow evening! Goodnight, EAW Universe!
(The referee hands Michael his title. He gets up, on shaky foot, but standing. He raises it up high, and the final shot shows Michael basking in his victory as pyro goes off. Then, the scene fades to black.)
DAY 2
[ SCREENBAR – EARLIER TODAY ]
(The scene opens up to the backstage area of the Superdome. Saori Aizen is seen walking into the arena, pulling her luggage behind her, with a smirk on her face. Last night, she made a bold statement when she destroyed her nemesis ARIA’s chances of winning the Universal Women’s Championship Chamber. It felt great. Saori was on cloud nine and for all intents and purposes, she didn’t see any other scenario for herself tonight other than winning the Extreme Enigma Memorial Battle Royale.)
???: Saori! Can I have a moment of your time?
(Fight Grid correspondent, Molly Waters, is seen walking up to Saori, microphone in hand. Saori stops when she sees her, pushes her expensive Chanel sunglasses to the top of her head, and grins.)
Saori Aizen: Whatever would you like to speak to me about, Molly?
Molly Waters: :cmon:
Saori Aizen: :mjlol2:
Molly Waters: Last night, you attacked ARIA towards the end of the Universal Women’s Championship Chamber. What was the motive behind that?
(Saori scoffs.)
Saori Aizen: You are backstage at Voltage. The motive is pretty clear. I was simply not content with what I did to ARIA, who’s been a thorn in my side for months, last week on Voltage. So I decided to remind her that once Road to Redemption has reached its conclusion, the two of us will handle our unfi-
(Saori doesn’t get to finish that sentence.)
(Molly lets out a gasp as ARIA blindsides Saori and lets out a guttural scream. A claw hammer is clutched in the hands of the former Specialists Champion and she strikes Saori across the back of the head!)
(Saori crumbles to the ground as the wounded warrior that is ARIA drops to her knees, flips the hammer over, and starts hitting Saori with the claw end of it. Saori’s skull starts gushing blood but the sight of the crimson river isn’t enough to deter ARIA.)
(She’s fed up.)
(She’s had enough.)
(And when it comes to Saori Aizen, she’s DONE.)
(ARIA flips Saori over, holds the hammer in both hands, and starts choking Saori with it. Saori is kicking and thrashing, albeit rather weakly now, but ARIA doesn’t let up… not even for a second. She watches as the life drains from Saori’s cold brown eyes and as her eyelids flutter shut, ARIA stands up.)
(She lets the hammer drop from her hands, but she’s not done yet.)
(She grabs a hold of Saori’s bloody hair and jerks her up. She drags her over to a pile of lighttubes that just happen to be sitting in the corner. ARIA, keeping one hand in Saori’s hair, quickly lays the light tubes out with her other hand. Then she stands in front of them, pulls Saori into the piledriver position, and starts to hoist her up.)
???: ARIA! STOP!
(Captain Charisma’s voice filters through the scene of chaos as he is seen running towards ARIA flanked by security and Eden Sinclair.)
Captain Charisma: You’re better than this.
(ARIA laughs.)
ARIA: Everyone has a breaking point.
(Without showing any mercy, ARIA piledrives Saori into the lighttubes and her head smashes against the concrete. Saori lands on the side of her neck thanks to ARIA letting go early on purpose, and it’s clear that Saori Aizen is seriously injured.)
(Captain Charisma and Eden skid to a stop and look at one another, while security seizes ARIA. Medical personnel arrive on the scene and immediately go to Saori.)
(As ARIA is led away from the scene, she is seen looking back at Saori.)
ARIA: Stay alive, stupid!
(Eden follows ARIA and security as Captain Charisma stays with Saori and the medics, and the scene fades out.)
(EAW Intro Plays)
???: AND NOW EAW AND SPONGEBOB THE MOVIE PRESENTS ROAD TO REDEMPTION- NIGHT TWO!
(The fireworks go off as “My Old Ways” by Tame Impala plays throughout the Caesar’s Superdome. The sold out crowd is on their feet as the camera transitions to the announce team of Showdown’s Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland.)
Deadprez: WE ARE HERE FOR NIGHT TWO OF ROAD TO REDEMPTION! I AM DEADPREZ AND WITH ME ARE EVE AND GAVIN KIRKLAND, THE SHOWDOWN ANNOUNCE TEAM AND WHAT A NIGHT ONE WE HAD! WE CROWNED THREE NEW CHAMPIONS IN MILLI BANKS, CLAYTON GOLDE, AND DARYL KINKADE! TWO TITLES WERE RETAINED BY DR. BETHANY BLUE AND MICHAEL MACHINA! BUT TONIGHT, WE HAVE TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE SPECIALIST TITLE, THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP ALONG WITH THE EXTREME ENIGMA BATTLE ROYAL AND SOME KEY SINGLES MATCHES THAT WILL PLAY A HUGE PART IN 2026!
Eve: THAT IS RIGHT, PREZ! WE HAVE A PACKED SHOW TONIGHT! LAST NIGHT WE SAW THE IMPLOSION OF THE VOLTAGE WAR GAMES TEAM AND TOXXIN FOR WINNING! BETRAYAL AS SILAS WORLD TURNED ON BRIANNA HILL AND SHE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT AND WE HOPE THAT SHE IS ALRIGHT! AND NOW WE WILL SEE TWO CHAMBERS, JOSO AND JAKE SMITH! TWO MORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES INCLUDING OUR OWN AUBURN WARE! I CANNOT WAIT!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS GOING TO BE AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT! BUT WE SEE THE CHAMBER IS LOWERING RIGHT NOW SO LET’S KICK IT OFF GINA ROMANO! FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST MATCHES ON THIS MARQUEE LIVE EVENT!
(The graphic for the opening match of Night Two appears)
(https://i.imgur.com/qU5qLxz.png)
(As the Camber lowers in place, Gina Romano is in the ring ready to make the introductions.)
Gina Romano: THE OPENING CONTEST OF NIGHT TWO IN THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH!
(The crowd explodes in cheers.)
Gina Romano: IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, THE FIRST FOUR WRESTLERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED, THEY WILL WALK INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE CHAMBERS! THEN THE LAST TWO WILL START THE MATCH! AFTER FIVE MINUTES THE FIRST CHAMBER WILL OPEN AND EVERY FIVE MINUTES AFTER THAT ANOTHER WILL OPEN UNTIL ALL ELITIST ARE IN THE MATCH! AN ELIMINATION CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME DURING THE MATCH BY PINFALL, SUBMISSION OR KNOCKOUT!
(As the crowd continues to cheer, Gina Romano begins to speak again.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…..
(“We’re All Mad Here” by Aberdeen is Dead begins to play as the crowd explodes in cheers, some in boos.)
Gina Romano: FROM SEATTLE, WASHINGTON! WEIGHING IN AT 228 POUNDS! THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION….. IMPACT!!!!
(Impact walks out and he has in hand a GLASS SWORD. The crowd oooh’s and ahh’s as Impact stops and turns, spreading his arms as the fireworks go off. He then turns around and heads to the Chamber.)
Deadprez: Impact is the first Elitist to walk out and head into the first Chamber! I am going to say it right now dawg, this man has won the Chamber before, he knows what it takes to be in this match! He is the most dangerous wrestler that will step in there tonight!
Eve: Impact is the benchmark and he is looking to become the next Answers World Champion, and I am NOT going to bet against him! Impact is even more dangerous that he is not starting the match. He is the oldest of this bunch, so the further he is from the start, that just gives him even a greater chance of winning this all!
Gavin Kirkland: He has a Glass Sword, okay? A GLASS SWORD! If that thing breaks it will still have an edge! Here he comes!
(Impact enters the Chamber and stands in the middle of the ring, looking Around at the monstrous Chamber, he then sees the referee guiding him into the first pod. He walks in and the official on the outside closes and locks it.)
Gina Romano: AND NOW ENTRANT NUMBER TWO…..
(Suddenly “chAngE” by Miwa starts to play throughout the arena as the fans get up to their feet and cheer, there are some boos.)
Gina Romano: FROM AOMORI, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT 216 POUNDS! THE NEW HEART OF SHOWDOWN! AKARI KIYOKO!!!!
(Akari Kiyoko walks out with a barbed Wired Exploding Baseball Bat. He stops and soaks the reaction of the crowd in his first Elimination Chamber match. He starts to walk down to the Chamber with intent as some fireworks go off.)
Deadprez: This young man is the Dark Horse. He is one of the competitors that is a wild card, we have seen him compete with the best and Akari has the talent and determination to walk out as the Answers World Champion.
Eve: Akari Kiyoko also has an advantage in this match that he has never been a part of. He is not starting, and depending where he comes in will be important, but what makes him so dangerous is that he is willing to do whatever it takes to win because he doesn’t know how unforgiving this chamber is.
Gavin Kirkland: He came down with no Damien Kutcher, no Luna, this kid is all business, and no one knows better than him that opportunities like this don’t come all the time. Watch him shine!
(Akari Kiyoko steps into the Chamber and he takes a second too looking around at the steel surrounding him, he takes a deep breath with almost a smile on his face, turning to look at Impact who is staring back, Akari then walks into the pod across from Impact as the referee closes the door and they lock the pod.)
Gina Romano: AND NOW INTRODUCING ENTRANT NUMBER THREE….
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim starts to play throughout the arena as the fans start to boo loudly.)
Gina Romano: FROM LAREN, NETHERLANDS! WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS! HE IS A MEMBER OF SILAS WORLD….. VINCENT MONDRIAN!
(As the crowd rains boos on Vincent, he slowly walks out and the camera pans at his hand where he is wearing Barbed Wired Brass Knuckles. He walks down to the Chamber with a stone cold face.)
Eve: Talk about a man that will fit right in this Chamber, it is Vincent Mondrian. We are talking about someone that is a monster in that ring and is violence personified, that is why he is now in Silas World, The Hitman, the hired gun, the cleaner, that is what Vincent is.
Deadprez: I agree, Eve. Vincent Mondrian is someone that can define this Chamber, he is at home and those brass knuckles are gonna be scarring a lot of people. Vincent Mondrian is not the dark horse, he is the terminator in this match and he has one role, to make sure Silas World brings the title home and after yesterday? He intends to do so.
Gavin Kirkland: He is as monstrous as he is ugly. But man, Vincent is going to make some waves in this match tonight. We are looking at a caged animal right now while in that pod.
(Vincent Mondrian walks into the Chamber, he isn’t bothered by the steel. He instead walks over to Impact and slams the Plexi-Glass, Impact just smiles. He then walks over to Akari’s pod and glares at him. Akari stares back as Vincent slowly backs off and is escorted into his pod. The officials close the pod and lock it.)
Gina Romano: AND THE FINAL ENTRANT TO ENTER A POD…..
(“Enemy” by From Ashes to New starts to play as the boos get even louder.)
Gina Romano: FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA! WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS! ACCOMPANIED BY SILAS MASON AND REPRESENTING SILAS WORLD! HE IS THE DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR…. DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!
(The Superdome is blanketed in boos as Donovan Duke walks out. He raises his arms and the fireworks go off. He then continues to walk to the Chamber and is led by Silas Mason.)
Deadprez: And here is the man that last year changed the landscape of the business and Showdown! When he cashed in after Bronson Daniels won, now he looks to be the Answers World Champion again albeit some controversy and upset members of Silas World.
Eve: Well, we saw they are one member less, Brianna Hill was take out last night, and now Donovan Duke and Vincent Mondrian both have an advantage, and you know that unlike yesterday, these two are going to work together!
Gavin Kirkland: Silas World is in a MUST WIN right now, because things have fallen apart after The Last Stand! But we now know that Bea Valentine and Veena Adams will be starting this and that is NOT good for the Answers World Champion!
(Donovan gets to the Chamber, he double fist bumps with Silas Mason and walks in. Donovan looks around listening to the boos, as he first goes to Impact and smirks, Impact just stares him down, he then walks to Akari Kiyoko and shakes his head while Akari flips him the bird. Finally, he walks to Vincent’s pod, they both nod and Donovan walks into the last pod while the officials slowly close and lock it up.)
Gina Romano: AND NOW FOR THE FIRST TWO ELITISTS THAT THERE WILL BE STARTING THE MATCH!
(“Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra starts to play as the fans get up and cheer loudly. Cornelius comes out with a Tray; he has a can and Bic Lighter.)
Gina Romano: FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS! WEIGHING IN AT 143 POUNDS! ACCOMPANIED BY CORNELIUS! “THE ETERNAL EMPRESS”….. BEA VALENTINE!!!!
(Bea Valentine walks out in all of her glory wearing an extravagant robe and boa. The fans cheered loudly as she posed before the fireworks went off. She slowly makes her way to the ring with Cornelius in tow.)
Gavin Kirkland: THE ETERNAL EMPRESS and ALL of her beauty! Look at her and she is about to enter this monstrosity and will have to go the distance in order to be the Answers World Champion!
Eve: Honestly Gavin, if any two can do it, it is Bea Valentine and Veena Adams! Bea Valentine has a short lived Universal Women’s Championship reign, and I know that it bugs her to death. She wants another World Championship, and I know that this woman can do it here tonight!
Deadprez: She looks ready and we can see a can and a Bic Lighter, that looks like some sort of Spray Can and I cannot imagine what she plans to do with that! But she takes it from Cornelius, and drops the robe before entering the Chamber!
(Bea Valentine steps into the Chamber, she looks around at the roof, the walls around made of steel, she then takes a gander at Donovan Duke with a spiteful sneer on her face, then Vincent Mondrian, waves at Impact and winks at Akari Kiyoko who are all in their respective pods as her theme fades and the crowd explodes in cheers.)
Gina Romano: AND THE LAST ENTRANT!
(The Superdome goes dark; fire starts to shoot out of the entranceway before a familiar theme plays throughout the Superdome, it is that of Game of Thrones, the fans look in awe and there is a silence before suddenly fire starts to breath out of what looks like a large white animatronic Dragon. The fans explode in cheers as the Dragon starts to fly from the top of the Superdome.)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THAT! IS THAT OUR QUEEN!?!?!
(On the dragon is a beautiful woman dressed all in white, even her hair is white as the fans continue to cheer loudly.)
Gina Romano: AND FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT! WEIGHING IN AT 137 POUNDS! SHE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. “THE GOLDEN STAR” VEENA ADAMS!!!!
(The dragon flies around the Superdome before it finally lands in the entranceway. Veena Adams pops off looking like Daenerys Targaryon from Game of Thrones. Suddenly “7Rings” by Ariana Grande starts to play as she makes her way to the ring with the title around her waist.)
Deadprez: AN INCREDIBLE entrance by the Answers World Champion and look at her! All dressed in white and ready to go! She, like Bea will have to go the distance here and that does put her at a disadvantage but if anyone can go the distance it is this woman right here, she has proven it!
Eve: From Unreliable to undeniable, this young woman’s journey has been a sight to see since she came to Showdown, and we have watched her mature into this role! She is the Answers World Champion and has defeated Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer, and the very best this industry has to offer!
Gavin Kirkland: She is in there with some bad ass hombres, but I believe in our Queen!
(Veena steps into the Chamber, title in hand, before handing it to the referee and taking off her entrance gear. She looks around the Chamber and nods, then turns to the other four pods, pointing at each of them and then the title screaming “That is mine!”. Bea nods as Veena nods to her as well, they both walk to the middle of the ring and shake hands before the referee signals for the bell to start the Chamber.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE SHOWDOWN EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER OFFICIALLY BEGINS, WOOOOOOOOOO!!! And we are starting off with two incredibly beautiful women?! Do you see how my goat Veena looks right now??? I am going to faint from the absolute beauty that I am seeing with my own two eyes!
Eve: Alright, let’s reign it in for at least a few minutes, okay? This is going to be quite a long match! Starting off with the Answers World Champion herself and the Empress herself, Bea Valentine!
Deadprez: Veena in a surprising manner is taking a few steps back and putting that… pet? Machine? Whatever the hell that dragon is about over in the corner of the ring, she wants a clean fight against Bea without any weapons! Veena wants to prove that she can outwrestle anybody if necessary.
Eve: And Bea is not the woman to back away from this challenge! For now, she orders Cornelius to get out of the ring and keep an eye on that robot dragon as the two women stand right in front of each other, the crowd splitting in the middle to support either Veena or Bea as they look forward!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA IS NOT THE KIND OF WOMAN TO HAPPILY ACCEPT THE STAREDOWN! SHE TRIES TO GO FOR THE “BEA TRIGGER” RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!!
Eve: AND SHE ENDS UP HITTING NOTHING BUT THE ROPES! Veena scouted out the knee and moved out of the way at the last possible second, Bea bounces off the ropes and turns around- VEENA WITH HER OWN JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE!
Deadprez: Veena is able to get her- JUST AS BEA PUTS UP HER ARMS TO BLOCK THE KNEE IN TIME! The force sends her back once more against the ropes and makes her move- WITH NOW VEENA BEING FORCED TO TAKE THE PAIN, AS BEA IS ABLE TO HIT THE SLINGBLADE AND BRING THE WORLD CHAMPION DOWN TO THE MAT! Bea rises and hypes the crowd up a little bit, trying to get them to cheer louder as she grabs onto Veena and throws her right out!
Eve: Bea wants to use the steel floor of the gigantic cage to her advantage here! She pulls Veena and grabs tightly onto her head, Bea looks around and begins to hoist up Veena in the air- trying to go for a normal vertical suplex but Veena struggles in her grasp!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at my goat showing that fighting spirit! She shows that resilience right in the face of doubt as she grabs onto Bea instead and she lands on the floor, NOW SHE IS THE ONE LIFTING BEA UP IN THE AIR! Going for her own vertical suplex!
Eve: WELL-PLACED KNEE RIGHT ON THE TOP OF VEENA’S HEAD FROM BEA! Veena ends up letting go of Bea right at the most critical moment, as Bea is able to grab back onto her-
Deadprez: AS VEENA INSTEAD PUSHES BEA BACKWARDS- AND SHE SLAMS BACK FIRST AGAINST ONE OF THE PODS! Thankfully the plexiglass holds up and it doesn’t break just yet!
Gavin Kirkland: My goat Veena tries to focus back on but the pod she pushed Bea onto was Donovan’s! Look at that devilish man throwing insults at her!
Eve: And Veena does end up catching wind by turning to see Donovan, she really can’t help to get closer and then mock him while he is inside- but that is the biggest mistake she could have made as Bea is able to get from behind her while she is distracted! AND THEN SLAM HER FACE FIRST AGAINST THAT PLEXIGLASS TOO!
Deadprez: And it holds up to that as well, we didn’t get cheap with those that’s for sure! Bea throws her back inside and she enters through, she rushes forward to try and drill Veena down with a Tornado DDT- it ends up backfiring, Veena pushes her away at the last second right before she can complete the spin, Bea once more rebounds off the ropes!
Eve: CARTWHEEL KICK HERE! BUT BEA AVOIDS IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Veena backflips through the air various times in the process and shows off as she lands back on her feet! AND THAT SMALL SHOW OF EGO MIGHT BACKFIRE TOO, BEA WITH A CUTTER!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT CATCHES HER BY THE WAIST RIGHT BEFORE SHE CAN BRING HER DOWN! She tries to go for a German Suplex!
Deadprez: A REVERSE HEADBUTT AS THE BACK OF BEA’S HEAD MEETS WITH VEENA’S NOSE! Veena lets go from the pain and Bea quickly moves, now standing right behind her and grabbing her from behind instead, AS BEA IS ABLE TO GO AND HIT HER OWN GERMAN SUPLEX!
Eve: WITH VEENA ABLE TO FLIP THROUGH AND LAND ON HER FEET FROM THE GERMAN! She runs forward, double footstomp onto Bea’s chest!
Deadprez: Is denied as Bea rolls out of the way right before she can get hit by it! She kips up to her feet and she turns- SUPERKICK RIGHT TOWARDS VEENA’S JAW!
Gavin Kirkland: CAUGHT WITH TWO HANDS BY MY GOAT! SHE THROWS HER LEG TO THE SIDE AND SPINS HER RIGHT AROUND! BEAUTIFUL TAKEDOWN TO THE GROUND, TRIES TO GRAB HER LEG AND TURN HER RIGHT AROUND FOR THAT BOSTON CRAB!
Eve: BEA PUSHES HER AWAY WITH HER LEGS INSTEAD, VEENA REBOUNDS HERSELF- AS BEA ROLLS FORWARD UP TO HER FEET AND THEN PICKS VEENA UP ON HER SHOULDERS! SHE TRIES TO SLAM HER DOWN WITH THAT ALABAMA SLAM! SHE THROWS HER FORWARD!
Deadprez: AS VEENA IS ABLE TO REVERSE IT RIGHT INTO A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! Bea does not go down yet, she slowly wobbles on her legs but she continues to stand up! Veena slowly rises to her feet and then runs towards the ropes- JUST AS BEA FALLS BACK AND THEN RUNS AT THE ROPES BEHIND HER! THE TWO OF THEM RUN TOGETHER!
Eve: AND THEY CLASH IN THE MIDDLE WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! BOTH COMPETITORS GO DOWN! A stalemate!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK NOW AT THE COUNTDOWN!
(FIVEEEEE…
FOOOOOUURRRRRRR…
THREEEEEEEEEEEE…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…)
(The lights start to flicker all around in an incredibly fast way, Bea and Veena slowly moving and coming to as finally, it lands on one spot, just as the buzzer goes off.)
Deadprez: AND THE ONE WHO COMES OUT THIRD IS NONE OTHER THAN AKARI KIYOKO! ONE OF THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITIES OF HIS CAREER SO FAR, HE RUSHES FORWARD-
Gavin Kirkland: It will also be the shortest one he has experienced because oh god, THAT THING IS MOVING! THAT ROBOT DRAGON HAS COME TO LIFE AND SUDDENLY TURNS TOWARDS AKARI’S WAY! Akari stops right on his tracks- JUST AS THE DRAGON POUNCES THROUGH THE ROPES! IT’S GOING TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF HIM, RUN MY PEACH BABY!
Eve: AKARI IS ABLE TO LEAP ONTO THE ROPES AND AVOID THE DRAGON AS IT WENT THROUGH THE FIRST AND SECOND ROPE INSTEAD! It lands onto the wall- and did it just take a chomp at the chains of the wall???
Deadprez: Close one for Akari at least! He is able to go over the top rope and enter the inside of the ring! He holds that barbed wire bat in his hands and he swings it with purpose towards the ladies!
Eve: BEA IS ABLE TO DUCK DOWN RIGHT IN TIME BEFORE IT CAN HIT HER-
( ## BOOOMM!!!! )
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?! MY GOAT!!!
Eve: THE SWING ENDS UP HITTING VEENA INSTEAD RIGHT IN THE GUT! VEENA SCREAMS THROUGH HER TEETH AND FALLS DOWN TO THE MAT! It was just a small explosion thankfully at least but the barbed wire tore some skin, and some drops of blood are coming from Veena’s stomach! No matter how much you prepare physically, you aren’t prepared mentally for the sudden pain!
Deadprez: Akari doesn’t waste his time and he goes to pin Veena! He can get out the world champion just like that!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THR-
Gavin Kirkland: My goat is not staying down like that, we TANK these explosions! SHE KICKS RIGHT OUT!
Eve: Well, she did move slower than usual in that kick out! Not a gigantic explosion like those explosive chancletas but it did some damage either way! Akari is going to pick up the bat once more and then try to go for another swing!
Deadprez: AS BEA NOW JUMPS ONTO AKARI’S BACK AND PUTS HIM IN A SLEEPER HOLD! Obviously not trying to choke him out but to put him in a precarious position instead, because if he tries to swing that bat at his back, he is definitely feeling the explosion as well!
Eve: He is forced to drop it instead and then try to wrestle Bea off of him, trying to shake her off as he stumbles forward towards the ropes- RIGHT WHERE CORNELIUS IS STANDING! Bea is trying to raise her voice and give him orders, as Cornelius in a panic tries to look through his pockets and find what Bea is telling him to get, it honestly seems like a cheat in a way to consider Cornelius a weapon and he has weapons with him but hey, I am not the person running the brand!
Gavin Kirkland: It makes it more fun! As Cornelius is able to finally find- A CAN OF LYSOL?! ISN’T THAT STUFF TO GET RID OF GERMS??? CORNELIUS SUDDENLY SPRAYS AKARI IN THE FACE, THEY ARE SPRAY CLEANING HIS FACE!
Deadprez: Akari closes his eyes in time and is able to avoid the lysol hitting him in the face! He is partially taken off guard though and that gives Bea the chance to get off of him, as she rushes forward over towards the mat- AND SHE SNATCHES AKARI’S BAT FOR HERSELF! The Chamber all counts, even stealing each other’s weapons! She is waiting for Akari to turn- SWINGING THE BAT HERSELF!
Eve: AKARI DUCKS DOWN AND ALMOST GETS HIS FACE BLOWN OFF WITH AN EXPLOSION! He is set on his path as he runs towards the ropes, he is going for something risky here but he is willing to bet on it- HE LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT OFF THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA WHIFFS THE SECOND SWING AS AKARI IS ABLE TO LEAP OVER HER AND THEN GRAB HER BY HER HEAD!
Deadprez: BEFORE TRANSITIONING THE MOONSAULT INTO A HUGE REVERSE DDT! Akari rises and then he gets the crowd hyped up as well after pulling that kind of stunt, Bea is shaking her head, trying to get her focus back but she turns and she points over towards Cornelius! Bea has an idea!
Eve: Cornelius is rushing across and he gets towards that robotic dragon, he has a plan here! It seems it stopped biting and moving, as he grabs onto it from behind and lifts it up!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari is looking back to get his bat back!
Eve: JUST AS CORNELIUS CHUCKS THE ROBOT DRAGON BACK INSIDE OF THE RING!
Deadprez: AND THAT DAMN BEAST COMES BACK ALIVE! IT LANDS ON AKARI’S ARM AND THEN IT STARTS TO BITE THE HELL OUT OF IT! OH HELL NAH!
Eve: Deep bite marks are already forming on Akari’s arm and blood is starting to spill out from them! He has to act fast or else he could genuinely lose an arm! He is gritting his teeth in pain as he is able to grab onto his bat! I THINK HE’S GOT IT!
( ## BOOM!!! )
Deadprez: HOME RUN RIGHT THERE! THE SPARKS OF THE EXPLOSION MAKE AKARI FALL BACK GRABBING ONTO HIS FACE BECAUSE OF HOW CLOSE IT WAS, BUT THE PET DRAGON WAS SENT FLYING OVER TO THE SIDE WITH THE FORCE OF THE SWING!
Gavin Kirkland: It is still working though, I know my goat Veena got the best of the best to be able to make that machine for her! It will walk it right off! But back to human beings, Bea and Veena are slowly rising up just as Akari is trying to shake the blood off… AS THE COUNTDOWN IS GOING!!!
(FIVEEEEE…
FOOOOOUURRRRRRR…
THREEEEEEEEEEEE…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…)
(The lights start to flicker all around in an incredibly fast way, the competitors preparing for the next competitor as finally, it lands on one spot, just as the buzzer goes off.)
Eve: THE SOUL REAPER HIMSELF NOW STEPS OUT OF THE POD! His expression does not show any mercy in his eyes as he lifts his hands up and brandishes those brass knuckles wrapped in barbed wire! He enters through-
Deadprez: AND SUDDENLY HITS A GUT SHOT OUT OF NOWHERE RIGHT ONTO AKARI JUST AS HE GETS UP! NOW THAT WAS JUST UNNECESSARY! BITS OF BLOOD COME OUT AS THE BARBED WIRE CUTS AKARI THERE TOO!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS ABLE TO COME FROM THE SIDE AND THEN HIT VINCENT RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE FACE! Vincent falls against the ropes here and the Empress is throwing a flurry of forearms and strikes right to the front and sides of his face, Bea showing that she is not scared of anything! Not as fearless as Veena but her beauty can be admired and respected too!
Eve: Bea showing off that training Cornelius has given her, one good right hand to end it and then finally backs away, Bea raising her arms up and trying to get the crowd to respond in anticipation… before she jumps onto him! TO GO FOR A HUGE MONKEY FLIP!
Deadprez: VINCENT SLASHES THE SIDE OF BEA’S LEG AS SOON AS SHE TRIES TO GO FOR THAT MONKEY FLIP! Bea tried it and she paid the price, as Vincent is able to use his strength- TO REVERSE HER RIGHT INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! THE MAN RUNS ACROSS THE RING WITH BEA IN HIS SHOULDERS!
Eve: AND HE THROWS BEA OFF THE RING!!! BEA LANDS BACK FIRST AGAINST THE WALLS OF CHAINS, BEFORE FALLING HARD AGAINST THE STEEL FLOOR! Gosh, that was a bad landing right there!
Gavin Kirkland: Scary and creepy man but I am willing to give a huge hug to whoever is in Silas World, Donovan is banned from getting hugs from me for now, I am still mad about the Harper thing.
Deadprez: They are literally dating, dawg! Right, Vincent turns and he now faces Veena Adams! This dude has sent some ruthless words her way and he is definitely itching to get her hands upon her, Veena leans against the ropes though and she looks confident with a smile on her face. She… points forward and once more the dragon robot comes to life, turning towards Vincent!
Eve: A smile ends up appearing in Vincent’s face when he looks down at the robot in the mat, I don’t think he is taking it seriously at all!
Vincent Mondrian: (off-mic) I’ll punt that thing off the planet, don’t even try it.
Veena Adams: (off-mic) Oh, really? :mjgrin:
Eve: Wait, what is…?
(Vincent slowly narrows his eyes and begins to focus back on the robot, what the hell is he seeing around his- And then his eyes widen.)
Gavin Kirkland: THE ROBOT DRAGON SUDDENLY SHOOTS OUT A BURST OF FLAMES RIGHT OUT OF ITS MOUTH! HOLY CRAAAPPPP!!!
Deadprez: VINCENT IS ABLE TO ROLL AWAY AND AVOID THE FLAMES HITTING HIM DEAD-ON! Veena is quite delighted at the attempt but she won’t be as Vincent is glaring, his eyes full of anger right now! He tries to rush forward and then try to split her apart with those brass knuckles, but Veena is able to move quickly and avoid the hits, using Vincent’s own anger against him! AS HE GOES FOR THE HEAD!
Eve: AND SHE DUCKS DOWN, ROLLING AWAY! Vincent almost gets the barbed wire stuck in one of the corner pads, he turns back and sees that the dragon robot is ready to go for another round!
Gavin Kirkland: IT IS POWERING UP!!!
Deadprez: VINCENT RUNS FORWARD AND HE PUNTS THE HELL OUT OF THAT GODDAMN DRAGON! RIGHT BEFORE IT CAN SHOOT THE FLAMES AND IT GOES FLYING OVER TO THE ROPES!
Eve: “BEA-TRIGGER” OUT OF NOWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO A FOREARM OUT OF NOWHERE! BEA TRIED TO TAKE DOWN VINCENT WHEN HE WAS DISTRACTED BUT HE TURNED AT THE LAST SECOND AND STOPPED HER!
Eve: BEA DOES NOT GO DOWN AT ALL! SHE TAKES THAT FOREARM HEAD ON, IN WOBBLY LEGS BUT SHE IS STILL FIGHTING! Vincent grabs her by her hair and he pulls back on his arm-
(Vincent stops though and turns confused, as then, to a huge wave of cheers. Cornelius takes off his jacket and enters the ring, putting up his fists!)
Gavin Kirkland: CORNELIUS IS TAKING THE RING YET AGAIN! HE IS WILLING TO DEFEND HIS EMPRESS HEAD-ON! LOOK AT HIM GO!
Deadprez: Vincent lets go of Bea, he scoffs and turns- HE DOESN’T EVEN WAIT ANYMORE! HE RUSHES FORWARD AND TRIES TO HIT CORNELIUS RIGHT ACROSS THE HEAD!
Eve: CORNELIUS AVOIDS THE HIT?! HE GOES FOR A LEFT HOOK!!! VINCENT LIFTS HIS ARMS UP!
Gavin Kirkland: FAINT! FAINT! FAINTTTTTTT! OH MY GOOOODDD!!!
Deadprez: CORNELIUS GETS HIM WITH THE RIGHT INSTEAD! HUGE UPPERCUT RIGHT ACROSS HIS CHIN!!! :damn:
Eve: AND VINCENT RESPONDS BACK WITH A KICK RIGHT TO HIS BALLS!!! COME ON!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh- That uppercut didn’t do much, huh? Guess that is why he is retired!
Deadprez: Cornelius drops to his knees in absolute pain from that kick, and Vincent is getting angrier by the second! He lifts those brass knuckles once again-
(But in the corner of his eye, Vincent notices a light.)
Eve: THE FLAMES BURST OUT OF THE ROBOT’S MOUTH! THEY CATCH RIGHT ONTO VINCENT’S LEFT ARM!!!
Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT SEES THIS AND IS FORCED TO DROP TO THE MAT FROM THE FIRE! HE TRIES TO SLAM HIS ARM TO THE MAT REPEATEDLY TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE-
Deadprez: “FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA!!!” CORNELIUS GAVE BEA ENOUGH TIME TO RUSH TO THE CORNER AND THEN FLY OFF IT! SHE LANDS ON VINCENT WHILE HE IS ON FIRE, AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG! CAN SHE GET IT?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Stab.)
Eve: VINCENT IN HIS STRUGGLING FROM THE FIRE STABS ONE OF HIS BRASS KNUCKLES RIGHT INTO THE FACE CHEEK OF BEA!!! BEA LETS GO OF THE LEG AND SHE ROLLS AWAY IN PAIN, TAKING THE BRASS KNUCKLE WITH HER!
Deadprez: Vincent is finally able to slam one last time and extinguish that fire, but there is a burn in his arm now, and he even lost one of his brass knuckles! How the tables turn!
Eve: AND THEY WILL DO A FULL 360 FLIP NOW! LOOK AT THE COUNTDOWN!
(FIVEEEEE…
FOOOOOUURRRRRRR…
THREEEEEEEEEEEE…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…)
(The lights start to flicker all around in an incredibly fast way, everyone in the ring moving to their own spot to rest up and somehow heal from their wounds. The lights only flicker around two pods before finally, it lands on one and the buzzer sounds off.)
Gavin Kirkland: THE TEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION KARL IMPACT HIMSELF! THE IMPACT ZONE HAS JUST MADE IT’S RE-DEBUT BABY!!!
Eve: Impact shows no sign of panic at all, as he goes through the ropes and holds that sword made of glass in his hands! The glass is designed hard enough so it could be used like a blunt weapon, but the edges are sharp enough too to cut.
Deadprez: AKARI IS NOT THE MAN TO BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT HERE! He slams his hand and pushes through the pain, picking up his bat and rushing to go at Karl Impact, raising up-
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT TURNS AT THE LAST SECOND AND USES THAT SWORD TO SLASH RIGHT AT HIS LEFT ARM! Akari falls over to the side grabbing onto it! HE IS A MASTER SWORDSMAN, HOLY CRAP!
Deadprez: He is just using the tiredness of everyone to his advantage, Gavin! Vincent is looking forward with fury in his eyes as well, grabbing tightly onto the brass knuckle that he has in his hands and raising up to his feet despite the burn in his arm- HE TRIES TO RUSH AT IMPACT!
Eve: THE GLASS SWORD SMACKS HARD AGAINST HIS OWN GUT, VINCENT DROPPING TO HIS KNEES- AS IMPACT TRIES TO SLASH CLOSE TO HIS NECK?!
Deadprez: VINCENT PUTS UP HIS ARMS UP IN TIME, BUT A SLASH GOES ACROSS HIS FOREARMS! ONE SECOND TOO LATE AND THAT COULD HAVE ENDED UP A LOT WORSE!
(Bea is gritting her teeth and closing her eye, feeling the barbed wire slowly coming off bit by bit…)
Gavin Kirkland: BEA GETS THE BRASS KNUCKLES OFF OF HER FACE CHEEK! Spots of blood were in her face but they weren’t deep enough to make any holes! She dons the brass knuckle in her hands, rising up slowly and focusing directly on Impact in front of her! SHE TRIES TO GO FOR HER OWN SHOT!
(Suddenly, Impact stabs the sword right into the mat.)
Eve: IMPACT MEETS BEA WITH A HEADUTT RIGHT DIRECTLY TOWARDS HER FACE! FOLLOWED UP BY A KNIFE-EDGED CHOP THAT LANDS ACROSS THAT FACE CHEEK!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT GRABS HER BY HER HAIR!
Deadprez: AND SMASHES HER HEAD RIGHT INTO THE HANDLE OF THAT SWORD!!!! THE SIDE OF HER HEAD COLLIDED WITH A LOUD THUD AGAINST THE UPRIGHT HANDLE! GODDAMN!
(Impact looks back at the sword fully focused, grabbing onto it to take it off… before stopping in his tracks and then turning to see Veena.)
Eve: The robot dragon is looking directly at Impact’s direction, Veena pointing right at him as well. Impact simply ends up cracking a smile-
Deadprez: AND TAKES HIS CHANCES! “EVISCERATION” RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT VEENA CATCHES HIS LEGS AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT BEFORE HE CAN BRING HER DOWN! She looks around at the cheering crowd as she has him in a familiar position!
Eve: SHE TRIES TO LOCK IN THE “WALLS OF IMPACT” ON IMPACT HIMSELF!!!
Deadprez: VEENA LEANED FORWARD TOO MUCH AND IMPACT PULLED HER DOWN BY HER HAIR, HE REVERSES IT INTO A PACKAGE ROLL-UP!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: VEENA KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN COUNT TO THREE! Veena almost got out if she wasn’t focused at the right time! She is able to move off of Impact and then rush up to her feet, heading towards the ropes at the right time! HERE SHE GOES!
Gavin Kirkland: “SKULL FRACTURE!!!”
Deadprez: FOLLOWED BY A “FIST OF FURY” OUT OF NOWHEREEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: VEENA HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES AT THE LAST SECOND-
( ## BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! )
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY AT THE LAST MOMEEEENTTTTT!!!! HE CATCHES IMPACT OFF GUARD AND THE BARBED WIRE BAT EXPLODES RIGHT AGAINST HIS BACK! CUTS AND BLOOD SPILL OUT FROM HIS BACK!
Deadprez: JUST AS VINCENT IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE, GRABBING ONTO IMPACT’S HANDS BEFORE HE CAN FIGHT BACK!
Eve: “PORTRAIT OF PAIINNNNNN!!!” HE GRABS BOTH ENDS OF HIS FINGERS AND THEY SNAP OVER TO THE SIDE WITH DEADLY PRECISION! HE BACKS AWAY!
Gavin Kirkland: AS THE EMPRESS FLIES BY AND HITS IMPACT DOWN WITH A CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE TOO! SHE ROLLS AWAY AND GIVES THE PERFECT POSITION FOR A…
Eve: “SKULL FRACTURE” RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAAAADDDDDD!!!
Deadprez: EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER ALMOST MADE LIKE A SILENT PACT RIGHT NOW! They all focused on Impact due to him being the freshest and then got a piece of mind from each person!
Eve: Such teamwork might be the end of Impact right now! Veena doesn’t even think through to follow up to a submission as she goes straight to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: …
Referee: …
Deadprez: AS SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, IMPACT IS ABLE TO KICK OUT RIGHT IN TIME JUST BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! Veena turns over in small shock at the result before she collapses over to the mat from the exhaustion, everyone else is just as shocked!
Eve: Impact has suffered through so much after many years, after 10 world championships and many EEC’s he has experienced too, such a man like that will not easily stay down, and right now has just been many more examples of that!
Gavin Kirkland: Such destruction and chaos already from so many people in so little time, and man, I am not sure if I like who goes next or not.
(FIVEEEEE…
FOOOOOUURRRRRRR…
THREEEEEEEEEEEE…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…)
(There is only one light that flashes in one singular pod by this point, with everyone else tired and trying to rest up in the mat, the pod slowly opens.)
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE DASTARDLY MAN OF DONOVAN DUKE IS THE LAST MAN TO ENTER INTO THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
(Donovan walks forward without any hurry at all, almost as if he is taking a stroll in the park. A grin appears on his face, grabbing tightly onto the bull rope as he swings it in a loop while strolling forward. He enters inside and he looks around, happily wondering from the bodies around him who to pick, but slowly… he sees Veena rising up to shoot daggers at him.)
Deadprez: You can cut the tension with a knife right now as yet again, these two encounter each other face to face.
(Veena points forward, not willing to stand back, but…)
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Doll, I may have grown up in a farm, but even I know we are not that advanced to make steel creatures be ordered with just a wave of a hand. You hid a remote control in your sleeves, didn’t you?
(Veena freezes slightly. The camera panning slowly and showing that sticking out of one of the sleeves of her ring gear is a small remote control, grabbing tightly onto it.)
Eve: VEENA TRIES TO SEND THE DRAGON AT DONOVAN-
Deadprez: DONOVAN WITH A PRECISE THROW, THE BULLROPE SUDDENLY WRAPS AROUND HER WRIST AND HE PULLS HARD, THE BARBED WIRE DIGGING INTO VEENA’S SKIN!!! VEENA GETS THROWN OFF BALANCE AND SHE GETS PULLED CLOSER TO DONOVAN, AS HE TRIES TO GRAB THE REMOTE CONTROL!
Eve: IF DONOVAN GETS CONTROL OF THE DRAGON, IT MIGHT SPELL AN END TO EVERYONE ELSE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MY GOAT VEENA RETALIATES WITH A DESPERATE HEADBUTT ACROSS HIS FACE! DONOVAN LOSES BALANCE HIMSELF BUT HE GRABS ONTO VEENA’S HAND! A tug of war here for the remote control!
Eve: VINCENT RISES AND COMES TO THE AID OF DONOVAN! HE GRABS AND TRIES TO HELP HIS FELLOW TEAMMATE, PULLING BACK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY RUNS FORWARD AND HE HITS A HUGE SPEAR ONTO VINCENT TO PREVENT SILAS WORLD FROM GETTING THE REMOTE CONTROL! The two roll away throwing punches at each other! Impact is recovering! Bea is trying to get Cornelius back in the fight!
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Give me… that!!
Veena Adams: (off-mic) Fuck… YOU!!!
Deadprez: THE TWO PULL TO THE SIDE AT THE SAME TIME! THEY FALL-
( SMASH!!!!!!)
( … )
(Veena and Donovan stop slowly and look down at the broken pieces of the remote control, smashed into the ground by accident. There is a small silence as Vincent and Akari stop, Impact and Bea turn… they all look directly at the robot dragon, seemingly malfunctioning, small sparks flying out of it before it stops.)
(And then turns to everyone else in the ring… it’s eyes turning red.)
Eve: Oh fuck.
Deadprez: THE DRAGON SUDDENLY STARTS SHOOTING OUT FIRE FROM ITS MOUTH ALL ACROSS THE RING, EVEN TOWARDS VEENA HERSELF! SHE HAS COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF IT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT GETS THE HELL OUT OF THE RING AS SOON AS HE CAN! BEA PULLS ON CORNELIUS AND LEAPS THROUGH THE ROPES WITH HIM!!! DONOVAN AND BEA RISE AT THE SAME TIME, VEENA PLANNING TO STOP HER PET!
Eve: Wha- DONOVAN KICKS HER RIGHT ON THE CHEST WHILE SHE ISN’T LOOKING! SHE PLANS TO SEND HER RIGHT INTO THE FLAMES!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT WRAPS THE BULLROPE AROUND DONOVAN’S WRIST AT THE LAST SECOND, DONOVAN SCREAMS IN PAIN AS VEENA USES HIM AS AN ANCHOR AND PREVENTS HERSELF FROM GOING INTO THE FIRE!
(The ends of Veena’s hair burn up slightly as the flames almost hit her skin. She pulls herself forward and both her and Donovan start fist fighting at close quarters!)
Eve: AKARI REACHES FOR HIS BAT, PLANNING AS WELL TO STOP THE DRAGON FOR CAUSING MORE HAVOC!
Deadprez: VINCENT GETS THE SAME IDEA AS DONOVAN AND KICKS AKARI RIGHT IN THE SIDE, MAKING HIM STUMBLE FORWARD!
(Akari stops right before the flames can fully engulf him.)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HIS LEFT LEG CATCHES ON FIRE! MY PEACH BABY IS ON FIRE AND I AM NOT TALKING FIGURATIVELY!!!
Eve: AKARI LETS OUT A SCREAM THROUGH GRITTED TEETH, HIS ADRENALINE KICKING IN AND MAKING HIM MOVE!
Deadprez: VINCENT WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH, TO FULLY SEND AKARI INTO THE FIRE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: “PEACH DREAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!” THE CLAYMORE KICK WITH HIS BOOT ON FIRE COLLIDES RIGHT AGAINST VINCENT’S SKULL!!!!
(Akari falls hard against the mat, knowing he has Vincent but yet again the uncontrollable dragon interferes, forced to roll away from the flames and out of the ring to extinguish the fire around his leg.)
Eve: IT IS PURE CHAOS RIGHT NOW, THEY CAN’T WRESTLE AT ALL WITH A FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON ON THE LOOSE!
(Bea looks forward, wondering what to do, before she turns and gasps in relief. Cornelius was back up once more! He readies and helps her up too as Bea thinks for a moment… and nods.)
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Cornelius… it is time.
(Cornelius nods as from his pockets, he takes out a hat for Bea as she puts it on.)
Bea Valentine: https://tenor.com/v0sq.gif
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) CORNELIUS, I CHOOSE YOU!!!
Cornelius: (off-mic) I am already here, Madam.
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Ah. You are right! ehem CORNELIUS, USE FLAMETHROWER!!!
(Bea gives him back the can of Lysol and Cornelius enters the ring without fear, the robot dragon turning and then locking its sights on him.)
Eve: THE DRAGON SHOOTS ITS FIRE DIRECTLY AT CORNELIUS!
(But suddenly… Cornelius pulled out a lighter.)
Gavin Kirkland: CORNELIUS BLOCKS IT WITH HIS OWN WAVE OF FLAMES! HOLY CRAP, HE IS A WIZARD!!!
Deadprez: NO, THE CAN OF LYSOL IS FLAMMABLE! WITH THE LIGHTER HE IS CREATING FIRE TOO, A WALL TO PROTECT HIMSELF!
Eve: IT IS DISTRACTED! Akari enters once more with his bat, the flames in his leg finally extinguished and thankfully without a serious burn, he sees his opportunity and takes it! HE SWINGS!
( BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!! )
Gavin Kirkland: PEACH BABY GETS IT! PEACH BABY SWINGS AND TAKES THE THING RIGHT ONTO THE MAT! It shortcircuits once more… and shuts down!
Deadprez: Temporarily it seems! That thing can take a beating but for now, all the Elitists can take a rest.
(Akari breathes deep in and out, turning slowly towards Cornelius. Cornelius gives a small bow, Akari looking confused wondering why a butler got those moves but he nods back out of respect.)
Eve: VEENA SUDDENLY GOES FLYING! SHE ENDS UP TAKING BOTH AKARI AND CORNELIUS DOWN TO THE GROUND, BEFORE SHE IS PULLED BACK UP BY THAT BULLROPE! VEENA AND DONOVAN HAVE BEEN GOING AT IT FOR THE ENTIRE TIME! HE SWINGS!
Deadprez: VEENA AVOIDS THE PUNCH, SHE THROWS A BACK ELBOW AND DONOVAN BARELY GETS HIT IT WITH TOO! She tries again!
Gavin Kirkland: The devilish fiend steps to the side and Veena ends up hitting nothing! HE SPINS AND GOES FOR THE “FORCE OF WILL!!!!”
Eve: VEENA DUCKS RIGHT UNDER, AS SHE RISES UP- AND SHE IS ABLE TO HIT A HUGE UPPERCUT WITH HER FREE HAND! THE TWO STUMBLE BACK FROM THE HIT! VEENA THOUGH STANDS HER GROUND AND SHE RUNS FORWARD!
Deadprez: “THUMBS UP!!!!”
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan… kicks the end of his rope behind him?!
(The end of the rope behind Donovan gets kicked upwards and it swings towards Veena’s head, showing the gold cowbell tied to it. In that split second, Veena thinks of tanking the hit, knowing some dumb cowbell would not hurt her at all.)
(It turns out to be a mistake as in that split second she realizes.)
(Inside of the cowbell are a shit ton of razor blades.)
Eve: WHAT?! THE SIDE OF VEENA’S HEAD SUDDENLY SPROUTS WITH BLOOD! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!
Deadprez: THE INSIDE OF THE BELL HAD HIDDEN RAZOR BLADES ON IT! THEY SMASHED RIGHT AGAINST VEENA AND CUT THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! SHE COLLAPSES HARD TO THE GROUND ALL WHILE SHE CONTINUES TO LOSE MORE BLOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(A grin spreads across Donovan’s face as he sees Veena collapsed on the mat. One down, four more to go-)
Eve: BEA RUSHES FROM BEHIND! SHE TRIES TO HIT DONOVAN ACROSS THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!
(SLASH!!!!!)
(Bea stops, and notices the slash across her stomach, the barbed wire of the cowbell making that slash. She drops to one knee in pain.)
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Don’t even try it.
(…)
(Bea gets up either way.)
Eve: DONOVAN WITH PRECISION STARTS TO SWING THAT COWBELL! He is using it like a lasso as he tries to cut Bea up like a vegetable! She puts up her arms and takes those slashes there, just trying to find one opening to take down Donovan once he least expects it!
Deadprez: Bea falters slightly as she takes a step back, and Donovan has his target! HE SWINGS THE END OF THE BULLROPE ONCE MORE, RIGHT AT BEA’S CHEST!
(Donovan in his mind is confident. Too confident in fact, he already sees Bea down in the ground with the bullrope stuck to her skin. It will be a direct hit. There is no way in hell someone is crazy enough to stop the bullrope.)
(Turns out, Bea Valentine is crazy enough.)
Eve: BEA VALENTINE CATCHES THE BULLROPE WITH HER OWN BARE HANDS!!!
Deadprez: THE BARBED WIRE DIGS AGAINST HER SKIN BUT SHE ENDURES, DONOVAN IS SHOCKED AT WHAT HE IS SEEING, AND THAT SMALL MISTAKE BEA TAKES IT! SHE PULLS THE BULLROPE TOWARDS HER AND DONOVAN WITH IT!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE GRABS HIM AND GETS HIM DOWN IN A SUDDEN PACKAGE ROLL-UP! NO WAY!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: …
Referee: …
(The crowd erupts.)
Gina Romano: DONOVAN DUKE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!
(Donovan kicks out a second too late and he sits there in complete shock, the whole crowd around them cheering as loud as they can. He can not believe what just happened.)
Eve: BEA DOES IT! IN A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS, DONOVAN DUKE IS THE FIRST ONE ELIMINATED!!! HE TOOK BEA FOR GRANTED, HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT, HE GOT OVERCONFIDENT, AND BY THE SIMPLEST OF MISTAKES, HE CREATED HIS DOWNFALL!
Deadprez: HAHAAAAHHH! SERVES HIM RIGHT! GET HIS ASS OUTTA HERE!
(Silas stands out of the ring with his hands on his head, confused, shocked and incredibly angry at what he saw. Donovan gets up, screaming and cussing up a storm, yelling that he will not leave this Chamber.)
(In turn, the door opens and referees, alongside other security guards, move to escort him out!)
Crowd: NA NA NA NA NAAAAAAA! NA NA NA NA NAAAAAAAAAAAA! HEY! HEY! HEY! GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: Donovan continues to scream to the heavens as the group of security pull him out and carry him along with him, Silas having to rush after him as they leave and disappear out behind the curtains!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, theoretically, this is not good at all for Silas World. But personally, Harper, I can promise you I can protect you better than him.
Deadprez: Shut the hell up.
(Bea slowly sits up and then takes a few seconds to get her breath back, and rest up those cuts, proud of herself for getting him out of there at least. There was more work to do-)
Eve: IMPACT COMES FROM BEHIND AND SLASHES RIGHT ACROSS BEA’S BACK WITH THE GLASS SWORD! SHE COLLAPSES TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT OLD MAN STAYED BACK ON THE SIDELINES WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER! Cornelius holds onto the can and the lighter, rushing towards the aid of Bea here and save her!
Deadprez: IMPACT WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT SLASHES RIGHT ACROSS CORNELIUS’ KNEE BEFORE HE CAN SHOOT OUT THE SPRAY AND COVER HIM IN FLAMES! He collapses hard onto the mat, yet again Impact is starting to get on his groove, he took all that time to recover while everyone else was trying to stop the dragon, and he is using his opportunity perfectly!
Eve: BUT THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY! AKARI RUSHES TO GO SWING BACK ONCE MORE AT IMPACT WHILE HE IS UN-FOCUSED!
Deadprez: IMPACT TURNS AT THE LAST SECOND AND THEN HE BLOCKS THE SWING WITH THE GLASS SWORD!
(Small sparks fly out but no explosion due to insufficient force, Impact and Akari push themselves forward and try to push the other back, a struggle of force here between the two of them, Impact remaining focused while Akari grits his teeth trying to ignore the pain.)
Eve: Explosive bat against the glass sword, both Akari and Impact’s weapons collided at the last second and the two of them are trying to push each other back, the smallest of cuts or the smallest of sparks can signify the biggest advantage for any of them!
Deadprez: IMPACT ENDS UP KICKING AKARI RIGHT IN THE GUT AND PUSHES HIM BACK! HE TRIES TO GO FOR A SWING HERE AND GUT AKARI LIKE A FISH!
Gavin Kirkland: MY PEACH BABY KEEPS ON LIVING AND FIGHTING, HE DUCKS AND SLIDES ACROSS THE MAT! I don’t think there is enough explosives left in that bat so it seems that he is trying to get creative- he is actually able to get to Donovan’s weapon! He grabs the safe parts of it- AND CHUCKS IT RIGHT AT IMPACT’S WAY, HOPING IT WILL CUT HIM UP!
Eve: Impact raises his sword- AND CATCHES THE BULL ROPE WITH IT! IT WRAPS RIGHT AROUND THE GLASS SWORD, AKARI UNINTENTIONALLY MADE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN IT ALREADY WAS!
Deadprez: IMPACT WITH A DOWNWARD SWING DIRECTED AKARI’S WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND HE AVOIDS IT! HE SIDE-STEPS… AS SLASHES FORM IN HIS ARM FROM THE BULLROPE MAKING CONTACT, BUT THE SWORD DID NOT!
Eve: AND AKARI RETALIATES, SENDING A KICK RIGHT AT IMPACT’S HAND!
(Impact ends up dropping the sword in response, Akari kicked Impact right on the fingers that Vincent broke apart a bit ago. Akari backs away and then takes his chance to rest, he is definitely tired, and more hurt than Impact, that is for sure.)
Deadprez: Impact reacts at the pain but… he does not pick up the weapon anymore, he turns and stands there, almost as if challenging Akari head-on without saying anything… and Akari accepts the challenge, dropping his bat to the ground and getting ready.
Eve: AKARI RUSHES FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO “THE ABSOLUTION”!!!! MICHINOKU DRIVER OUT OF NOWHERE TAKES AKARI OFF HIS FEET AND IMPACT MOVES QUICKLY TO COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: BUT AKARI IS STILL IN! HE RAISES HIS SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND! And dissapointment can only be shown on Impact’s face!
Deadprez: He does not waste time! He gets back up and starts taunting Akari, waiting for him to get up and finish him off with the “Evisceration”.
(But slowly, someone rises up from behind Impact, completely still, unmoving, a stare focused on death lingering in the back of his head. Impact stops for a moment, looking over his shoulder and almost scoffing once he sees who he is.)
Eve: VINCENT MONDRIAN HITS IMPACT ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK WITH HIS BRASS KNUCKLES, THE BARBED WIRE STICKING RIGHT INTO HIS SKIN
(Impact stumbles forward from the force, Vincent looking at him without any emotion on his face, confident he hit him right on. The brass knuckles dangle from his neck. But somehow, someway. Impact kept himself up on his feet.)
Impact: (off-mic) You will have to do better than that, kid.
Deadprez: THE BACK ELBOW OF IMPACT MAKES CONTACT WITH VINCENT’S NOSE! THIS MAN IS A HUMAN MADE MACHINE, HE KEEPS GOING!!!
Eve: IMPACT STARTS TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF VINCENT! BLOW AFTER BLOW AFTER BLOW TOWARDS HIS HEAD! COMPLETELY MERCILESS IN HIS APPROACH AS HE IS TRYING TO MAKE VINCENT SUFFER FOR EVEN DARING TO TOUCH HIM! VINCENT IS OVERWHELMED BY THE SUDDEN BURST OF ENERGY!
Deadprez: IMPACT PULLS BACK ONE MORE TIME-
Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT IS ABLE TO CATCH HIS PUNCH! HE TRIES YET AGAIN TO GRAB ONTO HIS FINGERS AND SNAP THEM APART! “PORTRAIT OF PAIN!”
Eve: IMPACT BITES HARD ONTO VINCENT’S HAND IN RETALIATION! FOLLOWED UP BY A HEADBUTT RIGHT ON! HE LETS GO! IMPACT PREPARES!
Deadprez: ”FIST OF FURY!!!!!”
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: ”BEA-TRIGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!”
Eve: BEA VALENTINE GETS HER REVENGE AS HER KNEE LANDS SQUARE ON IMPACT’S HEAD! HE FALLS FORWARD ONTO VINCENT!
Deadprez: AS HE LIFTS HIM UP! “SOULLESS ECLIPSE” SLAMS IMPACT HARD AGAINST THE MAT!!!
(But Vincent does not cover, as he ends up rolling away instead. Why? The question is quickly answered as Impact is conscious enough to look over…)
(As he sees Veena Adams up once more. Blood covers the left side of her face. She holds the robot dragon under her arm, once more active, and its head tightly grabbed by her head… pointing it right at Impact.)
Veena Adams: (off-mic) Sorry Karl. I’ll see you later for Christmas.
Eve: THE DRAGON SHOOTS OUT ITS FLAMES RIGHT AGAINST IMPACT, THEY COMPLETELY ENGULF HIM!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS ON FIRE! HE IS ON FIRE! ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS BODY! HE SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET FROM THE HEAT AND THE PAIN HE IS FEELING RIGHT NOW! HE SOMEHOW TRIES TO-
Gavin Kirkland: ”PEACH DREAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”
Eve: AKARI HITS IMPACT RIGHT ACROSS HIS HEAD WITH THE CLAYMORE KICK! IMPACT COLLAPSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! AKARI COVERS HIM WHILE HE IS STILL ON FIRE!!!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: IMPACT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
(Akari rolls away almost immediately. The door opens wide and the referees rush with fire extinguishers, moving quickly to extinguish the fire on Impact!)
Eve: IMPACT IS NOW THE SECOND ELIMINATED! He dominated almost every time he stepped foot there, so everyone left in the Chamber banded together to take him out once and for all! And what a way to do it!
Gavin Kirkland: You know, it is kinda crazy how desensitized we are to things now because we just saw a dude go up in flames in front of our own eyes.
Deadprez: All in a day’s work.
(Impact is escorted out of the Chamber after he is saved from the fire. Veena is able to reach a hidden button in the back of the robot’s head and then flip it, as it fully turns off now. She throws it away and walks forward.)
(She meets up with the other wrestlers left. Akari, Vincent, Bea and Veena look at each other, hurt, stabbed, slashed across, burned, maybe concussed, but somehow, someway, the war was not over yet. They backed away without any of their weapons.)
(Vincent and Akari looked straight at each other.)
(Bea and Veena looked straight at each other.)
(And then they went.)
Eve: EVERYONE STARTS FIGHTING! STRIKES ARE THROWN FROM EACH SIDE! VINCENT AGAINST AKARI! BEA AGAINST VEENA! THEY KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE AND THEY ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE SUCH A VICTORY LIKE THIS!
Deadprez: VEENA IS TRYING TO WEAR DOWN BEA AND FOCUS ON THE CUTS IN HER BODY, THROWING A FLURRY OF SHOOT KICKS TO HER ARMS TO TRY AND WEAR HER DOWN!
Eve: BUT ONE GOOD STRIKE AGAINST THE OPEN WOUND IN VEENA’S HEAD MAKES HER STUMBLE BACK! ONE HUGE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AGAINST HER CHIN MAKES HER FALL BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! BEA TRIES TO JUMP BACK ONTO HER AND GO FOR THAT MONKEY FLIP!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT REVERSES IT INSTEAD INTO A HUGE SPINEBUSTER! THE FORCE OF IT FORCES BEA TO ROLL BACKWARDS ON IMPACT! VEENA RUSHES AND PULLS HER UP, USING WHATEVER STRENGTH SHE HAS NOW TO LIFT HER UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS! “EFFECTIVE!!!”
Eve: EFFECTIVE AGAINST NOTHING AS BEA IS ABLE TO REVERSE IT INTO A HURRICANRANA AND SEND VEENA FLYING! Bea raises up to the loud cheers of the crowd and points forward! SHE RUSHES FOR THE SHINING WIZARD!
Deadprez: VEENA CATCHES HER LEG! SHE PUSHES IT DOWN AND GOES FOR A KNEE LIFT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA SWINGS HER ELBOW DOWN AND PREVENTS HER KNEE FROM HITTING! SHE PULLS BACK AND A HUGE CHOP TO THE CHEST SENDS VEENA BACK! BEA FALLS BACKWARDS TO THE ROPES BEHIND HER AND GET MOMENTUM-
Eve: VEENA RUNS INSTEAD AT HER AND THROWS HERSELF ONTO HER! A HUGE FLYING CLOTHESLINE SENDS THEM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL FLOOR OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: ALL WHILE AKARI AND VINCENT HAVE BEEN TRADING FOREARMS BACK AND FORTH! NOT A SINGLE MAN WILLING TO GIVE UP IN THEIR PURSUIT! AKARI TRIES TO RAISE UP A LEG FOR A KICK!
Eve: BUT IT WAS THE LEG WITH HIS BURN, VINCENT CHOPS IT DOWN AND THE PAIN MAKES HIM SLOW HIS MOVEMENTS! VINCENT RETALIATES WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: PEACH BABY DUCKS DOWN! HE HITS IN RETALIATION A SPINNING HEEL KICK, IT LANDS SQUARE ON THE BURN IN VINCENT’S FACE!
Eve: THAT ONE MAKES THE EMOTIONLESS EXPRESSION IN HIS FACE CHANGE TOO! HE GOES FOR A LARIAT!
Deadprez: ANOTHER DUCK FROM AKARI! HE GOES FOR A HUGE OVERHEAD, THE PELE KICK!
Eve: MISSES! VINCENT SIDE STEPS AND THEN JUMPS, PLANNING TO STOMP DOWN HARD ONTO AKARI’S FINGERS!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE PULLS THEM AWAY RIGHT IN TIME! HE SWEEPS AT VINCENT’S LEG AND MAKES HIM FALL! KNEE LIFT, KICK TO THE CHEST, AND THEN A HUGE BUZZSAW KICK! HUGE COMBO FOLLOWED UP-
Deadprez: BY “A K-NEE OF DEAAATTHHHH!!!” BONE TO BONE MEETS AND VINCENT FALLS DOWN ONTO THE MAT! AKARI HAS HIM RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM!
Eve: But the look on his eyes… he knows it is not enough here! He has to go further beyond what he already can do… and I think he has an idea! He turns towards one of the corners!
Deadprez: He is starting to climb it slowly, pushing against the pain that he is feeling… AND THEN HE STARTS TO CLIMB UP ONE OF THE PODS, HERE WE GO!!!
Eve: Everyone in the crowd is starting to rise up to their feet, Akari Kiyoko finds himself on the top of one of the pods, a huge distance from there to the mat! He looks at all the people cheering and supporting him and it gives him courage!
Gavin Kirkland: PEACH BABY, DON’T DIE!
Eve: AKARI TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK! HE IS GOING TO RUN FOR IT! *AND HE DOES
IT!*
Deadprez: SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP OF THE POD!!!!!!!!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!)
Eve: WHAT??????????
Deadprez: VINCENT ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AND PUT IN HIS PLACE THE EXPLOSIVE BAT! THE LAST OF THE EXPLOSIVES DETONATE AND AKARI GETS ENGULFED BY THE SPARKS!
Gavin Kirkland: PEACH BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Eve: NO WAY! AKARI LAYS THERE BARELY MOVING! AS LIKE A SHARK SMELLING BLOOD, VINCENT LIFTS HIM UP!
Deadprez: “SOULLESS ECLIPSEEEEEE”!!! THE CHEERS SUDDENLY GET REPLACED WITH BOOS AND VINCENT COVERS AKARI!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gina Romano: AKARI KIYOKO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!
(The boos grow even louder than before, Vincent rolling away and laying down in the mat exhausted.)
Eve: Damn it! If it was one less second of wait, maybe Akari could have fast enough to land the Shooting Star Press!
Deadprez: Point is, we saw that young man give it his all right there for his first time in the EEC and damn it, he made sure that everyone left here knowing his name. Props to him.
Gavin Kirkland: I only have Veena left to support now… :mjcry:
(The referees help out Akari and guide him out of the chamber. Veena and Bea are coming to, Veena slowly rising and moving to see what happened while they were fighting. She quickly sees someone else got eliminated. She plans to focus back on Bea but… she ends up checking again.)
(And something in the distance feels her with unimaginable rage.)
Veena Adams: (off-mic) Oh fuck right off.
Eve: DONOVAN DUKE IS BACK! HE ESCAPED FROM THE SECURITY AND IS RUSHING DOWN THE RAMP WITH BOLT CUTTERS IN HIS HANDS! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!
Deadprez: THE REFEREE QUICKLY CLOSES THE DOOR WITH THE LOCK- BUT THAT AIN’T HELPING! HE PUNCHES HIM ACROSS THE FACE AND HE FALLS! ALL THE OTHER REFEREES BACK AWAY IN FEAR AS DONOVAN GOES TO BREAK THE LOCK!
Veena Adams: (off-mic) Bea, for whatever living Gawd is up there, help me this one time or we are FUCKED! GO!
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOAT WITH ONE LAST BURST OF ENERGY ENTERS BACK INSIDE OF THE RING AND GOES TO GRAB ONTO VINCENT!
Eve: HE IS DEAD WEIGHT THOUGH! HE IS KEEPING HIMSELF TO THE GROUND TO PREVENT VEENA FROM LIFTING HIM! HE KNOWS HE HAS HELP COMING AND IS WASTING TIME!
Deadprez: DONOVAN BREAKS THE LOCK! HE SWINGS THE DOOR OPEN AND ENTERS-
Eve: CORNELIUS LUNGES AT HIM AND GRABS RIGHT ONTO HIM! HE IS STILL FIGHTING! EVEN WITH A MESSED UP LEG, HE IS TRYING TO STOP DONOVAN!
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) I am right here, darling!
Gavin Kirkland: HUGE SUPERKICK RIGHT ACROSS VINCENT’S FACE! HE DROPS AND VEENA DROPS WITH HIM! SHE TRIES TO LOCK IN “KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY”!
Eve: DONOVAN SMACKS CORNELIUS ACROSS THE HEAD WITH THE BOLTCUTTER! HE ENTERS INSIDE! BEA TRIES TO PUT UP DEFENSE!
Deadprez: VINCENT IS STRUGGLING TO PREVENT VEENA FROM FULLY LOCKING IT IN!!!!!!
Eve: BUT THE PAIN OF THE ENTIRE MATCH MAKES BEA WAY TOO SLOW! DONOVAN BEATS HER IN SPEED AND SMACKS HER ACROSS THE JAW WITH THE BOLT-CUTTERS!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA SUCCESSFULLY LOCKS IN “KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY”!!!
Deadprez: JUST AS DONOVAN PUNTS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE AND BREAKS THE SUBMISSION UP!
(The reactions grow even more nuclear, a thought can barely be heard as huge boos ring all across the arena. Veena can barely move or think as Donovan is on top of her and then he starts to swing the bolt cutters across her face from side to side, over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, rage in every swing, as blood once more starts to pour down her face.)
Eve: COME ON! HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF INJUSTICE?! HE WAS GONE! HE SHOULD NOT BE HERE! THIS IS NOT FAIR!
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, why is Donovan the only one here?! I want to see the rest of the gals! Sorry it doesn’t count you now, Brianna. I can comfort you later if you ever need it.
Deadprez: These pieces of trash just do whatever the hell they want and continue to get away with it! Donovan is beating the ever living hell out of Veena and nobody is doing anything about it! And now here comes Vincent too, grabbing and lifting up Bea…
Eve: AS BEA VALENTINE COMES TO LIFE AND THROWS A FLURRY OF STRIKES AT VINCENT! EVEN AFTER A BOLT CUTTER STRAIGHT TO HER FACE, SHE IS FIGHTING WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS!
Deadprez: HUGE DISCUS LARIAT TAKES DOWN VINCENT! SHE HAS-
Gavin Kirkland: “FORCE OF WILL” RIGHT ACROSS HER HEAD!
(Bea drops over to one knee… and still rises.)
Eve: VINCENT PICKS BACK UP HIS BRASS KNUCKLES AND STABS THEM DEEP INTO BEA’S FOREHEAD! DRAWING OUT BLOOD DEEP FROM HER VEINS AS IT COVERS HER IN A CRIMSON MASK!
Deadprez: AND BEA KEEPS GETTING UP! SHE KEEPS RISING DESPITE THE PAIN! SHE IS RUNNING ON ADRENALINE AND PURE WILL TO FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN WRAPS THE BULLROPE AROUND HER NECK AND STARTS CHOKING HER OUT! THE BARBED WIRE DIGS DEEP AROUND HER NECK AND EVEN MORE BLOOD COMES OUT!
Eve: BEA IS TRYING TO STRUGGLE, BEA IS TRYING TO MOVE… but… her movements are slowly stopping… no, come on!
Crowd: ### BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA! BEA!
Deadprez: SHE IS SWINGING, SHE IS TRYING TO GRASP ONTO THEM! SHE IS NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A GODDAMN FIGHT! SHE KICKS VINCENT BACK AND ELBOWS DONOVAN! JUST ONE OPENING!
Gavin Kirkland: THEY THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
(And Bea falls hard against the steel floor. The cheers continue, the chants continue. But Donovan and Vincent completely ignore them, they just give each other a knowing look… and they move outside.)
Eve: Wait… what are they… wait, wait, wait! Vincent grabs her by her waist… and lifts her up- NO WAY!!!
Deadprez: GOTCH-STYLE PILEDRIVER FROM VINCENT AS BEA’S HEAD GETS SPIKED RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL FLOOR! GOOD GOD!!!
(Somehow, even with the gasps of shock and horror. They were not done.)
Eve: Now Donovan grabs Bea from behind, backing away and… no… nononono! THIS IS INHUMANE! THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!
Deadprez: THESE SONS OF-
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
( # CRAAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! )
Eve: AGAINST THE PLEXI-GLASS OF THE STEEL POD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The loud crash of glass meeting skin breaks through the silence, followed by even more reactions of anger and desperation. Each piece of glass cuts across Bea’s skin, a river of blood appearing in almost every part of her body. Such a move like this two years ago ended up completely taking an Elitist out of the match.)
(Bea Valentine was unmoving. She was bleeding out. Sadly, the same result would happen. Vincent and Donovan step away, the medical personnel rush inside, the other referees moving along. There are hushed whispers from all of the officials as they check on Bea, before they finally get to Gina.)
(She looks around with a disappointed expression, before announcing.)
Gina Romano: Due to the incredibly serious injuries Bea Valentine has suffered, our personnel has deemed her unfit to continue competing. So I announce now that Bea Valentine… HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(And once more, the incredibly loud boos pick up.)
Gavin Kirkland: That means…
Deadprez: The final two competitors are Veena Adams and Vincent Mondrian.
Eve: Yet again… Silas World manipulate everything so that they come out on top. And once more, desperation fills everyone.
(The medical personnel grab Bea and stretch her out, some of them pick up Cornelius and help him out as well, a devastated and worried expression in his face seeing Bea like that.)
(Veena starts to crawl across the ring, barely able to process what is happening as the mat gets covered in her blood. She slowly looks up…)
(And she only sees the cold gaze in Vincent’s eyes, his expression unable to be read. One of the biggest opportunities of his career, and somehow, he barely reacted. For he knew, there was one problem left keeping him away from absolute glory.)
Eve: VINCENT STOMPS DOWN ON VEENA’S LEFT HAND WITHOUT ANY MERCY! HE PUTS PRESSURE ON IT AS VEENA GRITS HER TEETH IN PAIN.
Deadprez: AND WITH HIS OTHER FOOT STOMPS HARD ON HER RIGHT HAND AS WELL! VEENA CAN BARELY MOVE WITH HER HANDS STUCK IN PLACE BY VINCENT! WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO NOW?!
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) You thought we were done, doll?
(Donovan brandishes the bullrope with a smile on his face.)
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) I only say when we are done.
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN STARTS TO WHIP THE HELL OUT OF VEENA WITH THE BULLROPE! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! EACH HIT CUTTING THE SKIN ON HER BACK, VEENA STRUGGLING AND UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK!
Eve: THEY ARE DOWNRIGHT TORTURING HER! SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING!
(Veena stays strong despite the pain, not even giving the satisfaction to Donovan of hearing her scream. But it is clear her energies are disappearing, and she is moving less and less.)
(She grows still… and Donovan stops.)
(He pulls away just as Vincent lets go of her hands too and she barely reacts. It seems that was it.)
Deadprez: HE IS NOW CHOKING HER WITH IT! DONOVAN DUKE IS TRYING TO END HER LIFE, VEENA IS NOT MOVING! AND VINCENT MONDRIAN PICKS UP THE BRASS KNUCKLES FROM THE MAT AND PUTS THEM ON! HE STARTS PUNCHING VEENA IN THE FACE! STOP THIS!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS! SHE IS DEFENSELESS! THIS IS MURDER!
Eve: SILAS LOCKED THE CHAMBER! NO ONE CAN GET IN AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AND –
(Suddenly….)
(The crowd erupts in the loudest pop so far of the night.)
(‘Just A Phase’ by Incubus starts to play throughout the Superdome as the crowd goes ballistic!)
Eve: MILLI BANKS IS RUNNING DOWN TO THE RING! HER AND VEENA ADAMS BECAME BEST FRIENDS LAST SEASON ON SHOWDOWN AND MILLI HAS BOLT CUTTERS! SILAS MASON IS SHOCKED AND HE TURNS TO STOP HER AND MILLI –
WHACK!!!!!!
Deadprez: SHE JUST CLOCKED SILAS ON THE HEAD WITH THE BOLT CUTTERS! HE IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN ON HIS FOREHEAD AND IS BLEEDING LIKE A STUCK PIG! THAT IS GOING TO LEAVE A SCAR! MILLI GETS TO THE LOCK AND –
SNAP!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE JUST CUT THE LOCK OPEN! THE REFEREES HELP HER PUSH THE CHAMBER DOOR OPEN AND SHE RUSHES IN! VINCENT MONDRIAN TURNS AND CHARGES AT HER BUT MILLI DUCKS THE PUNCH! HE TURNS AND –
WHACK!!!!!
Eve: MILLI BANKS JUST SWUNG FOR THE FENCES AND HIT VINCENT ACROSS THE JAW WITH THE BOLT CUTTERS AND I SAW TEETH FLYING OUT! HE FALLS AND DONOVAN LET’S GO OF VEENA AND TRIES TO WHIP MILLI BUT SHE HOLDS THE BOLT CUTTERS UP AND THE WHIP WRAPS AROUND THEM INSTEAD, HE YANKS IT FROM HER HANDS AND HE TRIES –
Deadprez: NOTHING BECAUSE MILLI CAUGHT HIM WITH THE NORTHSTAR! SHE HIT THE NORTHSTAR AND DONOVAN FLIPPED OVER ON HIS BACK! MILLI IS NOW CHECKING ON VEENA AND SLAPPING HER FACE AS SHE STARTS TO COME TOO AND WITNESSES THAT IT IS MILLI!
(Tears start coming down the bloody face of Veena washing away the blood as she sees her best friend there to help her up, they hug as the crowd blows up in cheers!)
Deadprez: REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! MILLI BANKS AND VEENA ADAMS FORGED A FRIENDSHIP! A BOND THAT CAN NEVER BE BROKEN AND MILLI JUST SAVED VEENA NOT JUST FROM LOSING THE TITLE BUT POSSIBLY CAREER ENDING INJURIES! AND NOW DONOVAN IS BACK UP AND VEENA…. LOOK AT HER!
(Veena’s teeth grit, she is sick and tired of Silas World and this is the end, she has to finish them off when suddenly the crowd explodes in boos.)
Eve: HERE COMES THE CAVALRY! HARPER LEE! PANDORA PAISLEY! THEY ARE RUNNING DOWN TO THE RING AND MILLI SEES THE CAN AND BIC LIGHTER ON THE STEEL FLOOR! SHE GRABS IOT AND –
FWOOOOSH!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI BANKS CREATED A WALL OF FIRE! HARPER AND PANDORA BACK UP! THEY CANNOT GET INTO THE CHAMBER AS VEENA ADAMS GRABS WHIP OF DONOVAN DUKE! SHE WRAPS IT AROUND HIS NECK AND PULLS HIM RUNNING –
Deadprez: :damn:
Eve: :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: :mjgrin:
(Veena throws Donovan over the top rope and he falls through the missing plexiglass that was broken earlier that cost Bea Valentine to be eliminated. She then ties the handle of the bull rope to the exposed bar of the pod.)
Eve: VEENA ADAMS JUST TOOK CARE OF DONOVAN DUKE AND WHILE MILLI SPRAYS THE FIRE WALL, VINCENT MONDIRAN IS COMING FROM BEHIND VEENA AND SHE TURNS, HE SWINGS WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!
Deadprez: SHE DUCKS AND HE SWINGS WILDLY MISSING A STEP AND VEENA GRABS THE GLASS SWORD STILL ON THE MAT AND SHE TURNS SLASHING VINCENT ACROSS THE CHEST AND SLICING HIM OPEN AS HE FREEZES IN PAIN BEFORE –
Gavin Kirkland: SPEAR!!!!!! SHE JUST BROKE VINCENT MONDRIAN IN HALF! PANDORA AND HARPER ARE TRYING TO GET IN! HARPER IS NOW TENDING TO DONOVAN DUKE ON THE OUTSIDE AND PANDORA BACKS UP WHILE MILLI BLOWS THE FIRE!
Eve: LOOK A T VEENA! SHE IS CLIMBING THE POD! SHE IS AT THE TOP OF THE POD STILL WITH THE GLASS SWORD IN HAND AND SHE HOLDS IT UNDER HER BOOTS DIVING OFF!
SHATTER!!!!!!!
Deadprez: FATAL VOW!!!!! AND THE GLASS SWORD SHATTERED RIGHT ON MONDRIAN AS VEENA COLLAPSES ON HIS BODY FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!! DING!!!!! DING!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AND STILL ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. VEENA ADAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“7Rings” starts to play as Milli Banks finally drops the can and heads to Veena tackling on top of her celebrating the winner as they hug one another. Pandora had given up trying to get in so she checks on a bleeding Silas Mason and grabs a towel to stop the bleeding on his forehead. Harper frantically unwraps the whip from Donovan’s neck and checks on her man.)
Deadprez: SILAS WORLD WAS SLAYED TONIGHT! THEY DID ALL THEY COULD TO STEAL THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEY ALMOST DID IT! THEY ALMOST PULLED IT OFF BUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, MILLI BANKS RAN DOWN AND MADE THE SAVE! SHE CAME TO HER BEST FRIEND’S AID AND THEY SHE HELPED VEENA THWART OFF THE TWO ON ONE ATTACK THAT ALMOST TOOK HER TITLE AND CAREER!
Eve: IT IS A VERY EMOTIONAL MOMENT RIGHT NOW FOR THESE TWO WOMEN THAT HAVE FOR SO LONG FOUGHT AGAINST SILAS WORLD AND TO WIN HERE TONIGHT, AND FOR MILLI LAST NIGHT, THIS IS HUGE!
(They both have tears in their eyes as they are kneeling, hugging one another. The referee presents Veena with the Answers World Championship. She can barely stand as Milli helps her up and wraps the title around her friend’s waist.)
Gavin Kirkland: I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS CROWD POP SO HARD WHEN MILLI BANKS CAME OUT! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ENDING TO THIS MATCH! AND KUDOS TO ALL THE COMPETITORS IN THIS! THEY BROUGHT IT AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON, BUT FOR NOW VEENA ADAMS IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION HEADING INTO 2026!
(Milli raises Veena’s hand as does the referee. Vincent Mondrian is able to roll out toward here Harper and Donovan are. Harper pulls Vincent out of the Chamber while Pandora now is helping Silas Mason to the back. She turns around and glares back at Milli Banks and Veena Adams, a respect she had with Milli once.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) …. I’ll see you soon.
(She whispers before turning back to help Silas to the back.)
Eve: Did you hear that?
Deadprez: OH, I sure did. 2026 is going to be an interesting year! But for now, the night belongs to Veena Adams and she gets to celebrate with Milli Banks!
(The final shot is Veena raising the title up and screaming in victory with her friend Milli Banks, as Harper helps Donovan and Vincent to the back following behind Silas and Pandora.)
(The graphic for the next match appears)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW Specialists Championship!!!
( https://files.catbox.moe/ytr8na.png )
( “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar hits as the crowd erupts into cheers!!!)
Stephie Love: Introducing first from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe… she is “The Prodigy” AUBURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(Auburn Ware comes out running down to the ring at high speed slapping hands with the fans with a big smile on her face! She is clearly hyped up for tonight and the massive challenge before her.)
Tyrone Montgomery: We stan Auburn Ware who is the hottest rising African talent here in EAW in 2025! She is here to win that Specialists Championship and bring it home to Zimbabwe and who can doubt her when she is as fired up as she is tonight?
Stew-O: She definitely keeps a positive attitude out here and we love to see it. I think all of these fans want to see Auburn Ware live up to her moniker as the Prodigy and really break through here at the end of 2025 as a new champion!
Jake Mercer: Is it just me… or is Auburn actually… kinda mid?
Tyrone Montgomery: It’s just you.
( Cult Leader by KiNG MALA hits as the entire vibe in the arena changes and the arrival of the champion is met with heavy boos from the crowd.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent from Key West, Florida… she is “La Desperada” MIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Mia Santoro appears in the crowd where she is raising her hands pretending the crowd loves her as they shower her with boos. However, tonight she has a large escort of security surrounding her to fend off the rabid Auburn Ware fans who seek nothing more than to see Mia Santoro suffer.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Well Mia Santoro is brave to be making her entrance through the crowd tonight given the hate for her is at an all time high.
Stew-O: I hate to admit it but she has actually been a very good Specialists Champion so tonight won’t be an easy feat if Auburn Ware seeks to topple her reign.
Jake Mercer: I mean have you been paying attention at all to Auburn’s entire career? Has she ever accomplished anything at all since she’s come here in 2023? Mia Santoro has her number for sure and Auburn is going to be taken out with all the other trash contenders who have challenged Mia!
Tyrone Montgomery: I would not be so sure about that but I can’t deny that the betting odds are probably in Mia Santoro’s favor. But I am hyped to see what kind of fight Auburn puts up before she loses. If she does I mean.
Jake Mercer: See Tyrone. Even you agree with me! I knew I could count on you!
Tyrone Montgomery: :francis:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Tyrone Montgomery: This match is underway and is going to be a very special match for the Specialists Championship.
Jake Mercer: You are special to me Tyrone.
Tyrone Montgomery: ???.
Stew-O: Anyway… Mia and Auburn lock up in the middle of the ring!!! They are fighting back and forth fighting with all their strength. Mia shoves Auburn away hard and then slaps her hard across the face.
Jake Mercer: It’s so adorable seeing these tiny ass chicks fight. When did EAW get a grade school division?
Tyrone Montgomery: Shut the fuck up Jake. These are grown ass women!
Stew-O: Auburn is not going to take that disrespect from Mia and slaps her right back in the face hard as fuck! Auburn hits hard and Mia staggers back! Auburn tackles her to the mat looking to take advantage but Mia rolls over and throws Auburn off her! Auburn nearly flies under the bottom rope but grabs onto it pulling herself out to the apron. Mia runs in but Auburn gets a boot up and kicks Mia backwards into the ring. Auburn jumps up to the top rope and flings herself into the ring with a Springboard Crossbody! She gets all of it flattening Mia and goes for the first cover of the match!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: T-
Tyrone Montgomery: Kickout by Mia Santoro! Mia throws Auburn Ware off her as they both get back up to their feet to face off once more.
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) I’M THE CHAMPION BITCH!!!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) :oh: You don’t say?
Stew-O: Mia is seething as she runs in and grabs Auburn around the waist tossing her across the ring but Auburn lands on her feet and stares her down defiantly. Auburn a bit more cautious now as Mia tries to corner her into the corner. Mia rushes in at Auburn who grabs the arm and twists it around. But Mia manages to grab Auburn by the leg and trips her up. But as Auburn goes down she grabs the arm of Mia and takes her down with an Arm Drag. Mia back up now as Auburn grabs her by the arm again but Mia ducks it and picks up Auburn into a Spinning Backbreaker! Auburn goes down as it looks like Mia won that exchange!
Tyrone Montgomery: Auburn pulls herself back up in the corner as Mia rushes in and begins kicking at her in the corner viciously. Mia whips Auburn across the ring but then yanks her back pulling down hard on the arm yanking the shoulder nearly out of its socket and sending Auburn down to the mat with intensity. Auburn back up now slowly as Mia grabs the arm and yanks it around again. However, this time Mia yanks Auburn back around right into a Shoulder Block from her taking Auburn down hard to the mat. Auburn goes flipping across the ring from the force of that as she crawls across the ring to the opposite corner trying to put some distance between herself and the champion.
Stew-O: But Mia is stalking her and rushes in with a heavy Clothesline into the corner! Mia lifts up Auburn and drops her head first over the top rope. Mia grabs Auburn and lifts her up over her shoulders and looks like she is trying to get her over the top rope!-
Jake Mercer: I don’t even think she’s tall enough to see over the top rope-
Tyrone Montgomery: Well it doesn’t even matter anyway as Auburn grabs the arm of Mia and yanks her down into a Cross Armbreaker in the middle of the ring! But Mia quickly powers out of it and gets back up to confront Auburn again! But Auburn quickly grabs Mia around the head and wraps her legs around her midsection dragging her down into a Guillotine! But Mia is managing to struggle out of it trying to get herself back up to a vertical position and reaches out falling into the ropes! Mia gets an arm around the ropes and Auburn is forced to release the hold! Mia collapses down to the mat as Auburn makes her way up to the top rope! But wait-
Stew-O: Mia rushes back up as Auburn is about to come off the top rope and causes Auburn to fall on her midsection over the top rope and falls to the outside! Auburn on the outside now as Mia rushes through the ropes and hits her on the outside with a Suicide Dive! Mia then throws herself back into the ring as the referee starts the 10 count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia can retain the title by count out so she doesn’t care if she wins this way! But Auburn is slowly getting back up but is it too late!?!?
Fan: (off-mic) I LOVE YOU AUBURN!!!!
(An overweight fan with a Cheeto stained Auburn Ware turtle neck sweater is shown jumping up and down in the front row cheering for Auburn.)
Jake Mercer: He just like me fr.
Referee: EIGHT! NINE!
Stew-O: Auburn Ware slides into the ring-
Referee: TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: She made it!
Tyrone Montgomery: But as soon as Auburn gets back into the ring Mia is on her and slams her knee down repeatedly into the back keeping her grounded! Mia grabs Auburn and picks her up over her shoulder before dropping her backwards with a Samoan Drop down hard to the mat. Auburn pulls herself up in the corner but Mia rushes in with a big Shoulder Thrust!-
Stew-O: But Auburn moves out of the way and Mia runs into the corner going shoulder first into the corner post! Auburn now with a chance to turn things around as she grabs Mia pulling her out of the corner and into the ring. Auburn hooks the head and begins to climb the ropes holding on to Mia. Auburn swings around… TORNADO DDT CONNECTS!!! Mia planted head first as Auburn falls to the cover! Can she get it done?!?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!-
Tyrone Montgomery: No! A kickout quicker than I expected there no doubt!!! Mia pulls herself up slowly in the corner as Auburn meets her there and lights her up hard across the chest with repeated back chops! But Mia is fighting her way back out with chops of her own!

Stew-O: Mia leaps up to the shoulders of Auburn and throws herself back with a Dragonrana into a pinning combination!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Why would you even try to trick us like that with a two count?
Jake Mercer: My bad. :lupe:
Stew-O: Anyway that was not even a one count. But anyway Mia hits a Mongolian Chop on Auburn sending her into the ropes. Auburn kicks up at Mia with her legs as she approaches trying to knock her back but Mia runs in with a Clothesline trying to send Auburn over to the outside. But Auburn flips over the top rope from the force and lands on her feet on the apron. Auburn then punches Mia who catches her arm and grabs her by the neck dragging her into the ring. Auburn is transitioned in midair onto the back of Mia who Suplexes her opponent messily into the ring. Messy but effective!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia not going for a cover however as she grabs Auburn and throws her backwards with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Auburn goes down hard and recovers in the corner as Mia charges in like a raging bull and gores Auburn hard in the midsection! Auburn yells out in pain as she just got torn in half with that vicious strike!

Tyrone Montgomery: But Auburn ducks and Mia punches the top turnbuckle! She holds her wrist in pain as Auburn leaps over her and rolls her up with a Sunset Flip! But Mia rolls through it and goes for a Dropkick to the chest on Auburn taking her down. Mia then grabs the legs and twists Auburn around into the Sasori-gatame!!!
Jake Mercer: It’s a Sharpshooter Tyrone get the fuck outta here with yo weeb ass.
Tyrone Montgomery: :wtf:
Stew-O: Auburn is fighting out of it however but Mia with hard knee strikes to the legs of Auburn forcing her down to the mat. Mia runs across the ring before coming down on the chest of Auburn with a Guillotine Leg Drop! Mia to the cover!
Referee: O-
Tyrone Montgomery: Holy shit! Auburn Ware kicks out immediately and with authority! Mia Santoro is shooken by this but stays on her lighting her up with chops into the corner. Auburn with a hard kick to the leg of Mia staggering her across the ring as Auburn grabs the leg of Mia and drags her back into the middle of the ring and twists her around into the Sasori-gatame! I will call it what I want to call it Jake I give no fucks!
Stew-O: This time Auburn gets it in! The hold is applied and Mia is screaming in pain! This could be it as I am not sure if Mia will be able to survive here without tapping out! Auburn just might be en route to win the title!
Jake Mercer: Mia is struggling and crawling across the ring! She raises her hand as she considers tapping but continues to drag herself further and further across the ring! She just might reach the bottom rope!-
Tyrone Montgomery: She made it! Mia Santoro gets a hand on the bottom rope and the referee orders the break!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET THE FUCK GO! DAMN!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) STFU I WAS GOING TO LET GO!
Referee: (off-mic) :usure:
Stew-O: Auburn Ware reluctantly lets go as she stomps down hard on the back of Mia Santoro for good measure before dragging her back to the middle of the ring. Auburn is going to apply the Sharpshooter yet again! But Mia is desperately fighting it off kicking at Auburn trying to get her away from her! She kicks her back! But Auburn rushes in! Mia jumps up suddenly and catches her with a Cutter outta nowhere!!
Tyrone Montgomery: But Auburn is too weakened to capitalize and both women are down here and now as the referee begins the ten count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
Stew-O: Both women slowly starting to get up! I was getting concerned we might end up with a draw here! This is a worse situation for Auburn Ware of course as Mia can keep the title on a draw!
Jake Mercer: Both women make it to their feet in the middle of the ring. Mia Santoro with a hard slap to the face of Auburn Ware! But Auburn is not going to take that disrespect and responds with a headbutt nailing Mia hard right in the skull! Mia falls back holding her nose and she tastes blood as Auburn rushes in and takes her down with a Running Lariat! Auburn pulls Mia back up and goes for a Ripcord Lariat but Mia ducks it! Mia grabs Auburn and takes her down with a Snapmare into a Side Headlock.
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia trying to ground Auburn but Auburn slips out of it and kips back up to her feet. Mia claps for her sarcastically before they go to lock up in the ring once more.

But Auburn caught her! Auburn falls backwards taking out Mia with a Fallaway Slam! Auburn to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!-

Mia Santoro: (off-mic) Put er there good sport!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) doubts
Tyrone Montgomery: Don’t trust her Auburn! She’s a devious bitch!
Stew-O: Auburn takes the hand of Mia! Possibly a bad ide-
Jake Mercer: But before Mia can punch Auburn in the face… Auburn drags Mia down to the mat with a Crossface! Auburn had the poor sportsmanship of the champion scouted and made her pay for it! Mia now writhing in pain as she rolls herself over wheelbarrowing across the ring! Can she get herself close enough to the ropes?!?!-
Tyrone Montgomery: She does! Auburn is forced to release the hold. But as soon as Mia gets back up Auburn grabs her and throws her back with a Northern Lights Suplex. Mia in a bad way here as she holds her back in pain but Auburn yanks her up by the hair! Going for another Northern Lights Sup-
Stew-O: No! Mia Santoro counters into a Small Package!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia retains!
Stew-O: No! The kickout! But that was the closest pinfall of the match so far! Auburn Ware has a look of alarm on her face as she realizes that she let her guard down and nearly paid the ultimate price!
Jake Mercer: Both women back up now as Mia slips around behind Auburn and rolls her up for another quick pinfall! No! Auburn has it scouted and side steps it! Mia back up and meets Auburn running at her in the middle of the ring with a Running Dropkick! But Mia sidesteps that as well and Auburn goes legs first into the ropes!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
(Auburn Ware’s superfan in the front row is shown being restrained by security as he tries to jump the barricade to break up the pin.)
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: No! Holy shit! Business just picked up!! AWWW YEAH MAN!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia Santoro can’t believe it! Auburn Ware just kicked out of one of her most dangerous maneuvers in her entire arsenal! What is it going to take to put her away? Mia is finding out just how hard it can be to keep championship gold on the dangerous streets of EAW!
Stew-O: Mia grabs Auburn and twists her around into a dangerous Octopus Stretch submission hold. But Auburn is able to break free and rolls Mia up into a pinning combination! No! Mia immediately gets out of it and kicks Auburn across the ring. Auburn scrambles back up to her feet but gets hit by a Running Knee Strike to the skull! Mia keeps Auburn down but drags her over into the corner. Mia hoists Auburn up onto the top rope and she is now going high risk!
Jake Mercer: You gotta go high risk to get that high reward! That is why Big Jake always shoots his shot!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia grabs Auburn up on the top rope! She is going sky high here! Time for a Superplex!!!
Stew-O: SHE GOT IT! MIA BRINGS AUBURN DOWN TO THE RING WHICH SHAKES FROM THE THUNDEROUS SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE! I SURE AS SHIT HOPE THE RING DOESN’T BREAK FROM THE IMPACT!!!
Jake Mercer: I am pretty sure these two weigh like 150 pounds combined Stew. I sure hope EAW hasn’t cheaped out so much that our rings can’t handle that amount of weight…
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia looks like she hurt herself on that maneuver however and isn’t able to immediately capitalize! But Auburn is not even moving at all now as Mia begins to stir! Mia crawls across the ring and puts one hand over Auburn! Mia to retain!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Not good enough! Mia was a bit too slow making it to the cover after that Superplex and she paid the price for it! Mia looks annoyed by this as she stares up at the lights wondering what it is going to take. But she can’t wait too long as she will give Auburn some time to recover!
Jake Mercer: Mia grabs Auburn and lifts her up above her shoulders and puts her into the Torture Rack submission! Mia is going to snap Auburn in half here tonight in New Orleans to retain her championship!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Auburn is thrashing around trying to get out of it! She can’t do it though! Wait! Auburn manages to tilt herself sideways fucking up the legwork of Mia Santoro! Mia staggers towards the ropes trying to regain her footing but she can’t do it! Both women fall over the top rope to the outside from the momentum! They crash onto the apron with Mia landing on top before falling out to the floor!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Stew-O: What a fail that was. Both women on the outside and we entering potential draw territory here! Nobody wants to see it end that way tho. That would be pure ass.
Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Tyrone Montgomery: Wait! They both suddenly got up and threw themselves into the ring almost as if it was instinctual! That was crazy!
Jake Mercer: They just bein’ dramatic.
Stew-O: Speaking of drama it is clear that the drama of this match is only just beginning as neither woman is showing any quit whatsoever! Wait it looks like Mia just rolled out of the ring again! But Auburn is going after her! Auburn rushes in rushing her with a Running Forearm! But Mia ducks it and moves out of the way! Auburn rushes her forearm hard into the ring post and might have just broken her wrist there! Mia then rushes Auburn with a Running Spear right into the front plate of our announce table!
Jake Mercer: AHHH! AHHH! AHHH!!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Calm down Jake. It will be ok…
Stew-O: Mia tosses Auburn back into the ring and slides in to go for the cover!
Referee: o-
Tyrone Montgomery: No! An immediate kickout! That pinfall wasn’t even worth counting by the ref.
Stew-O: Mia pulls Auburn up-
Jake Mercer: Wait no! Mia with a Roll Up out of nowhere!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro has her feet up on the ropes!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE-
Tyrone Montgomery: But the referee noticed Mia’s feet on the ropes!
Referee: Oh nah the fuck you thinking girl?
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) ???
Referee: You know what you did. :ufdup:
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) :whoa: !
Stew-O: Wait Auburn Ware jumps onto the back of Mia Santoro from behind and locks in a Sleeper Hold!!! Mia struggles and tries to jab her elbow into the gut of Auburn but Auburn does not release and only locks her legs around the midsection of Mia harder!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia falls down to her knees as she is fading! The referee is checking on her and this Sleeper Hold just might put her to sleep!
Stew-O: The referee raises the arm to check!!! And it falls!
Jake Mercer: The referee raises the arm again! It falls again!
Tyrone Montgomery: One more time and this is over!-
Stew-O: The referee raises the arm but Mia can’t keep it up!!!-
Tyrone Montgomery: No! Mia gets the arm up somehow! Mia reaches into her tights and pulls something out but the referee is too focused on her other arm!!! Mia stabs a metal spike into the eye of Auburn Ware!!!
(Auburn Ware falls back screaming in pain as blood pours out of her eye and Mia Santoro quickly hides the spike back into her tights!)
Stew-O: That was some BULLSHIT!!! How the hell did the referee miss that!
Jake Mercer: The referee totally missed it but now Mia is going for the cover and the referee sees that and slides in to make the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tyrone Montgomery: Not this way!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: …!
Referee: —
Stew-O: But somehow it is not enough! Auburn Ware kicks out! And Mia Santoro is raging!
(Auburn Ware’s fan at ringside is shown leaping out of his seat in celebration as Cheetos go flying everywhere around ringside. A member of the audience sitting next to him is shown spraying some cologne to distract from the smell.)
Tyrone Montgomery: This guy is really ruining the show for everyone… We really need to get our fans to actually take a shower sometimes…
Stew-O: Just ignore him and focus on the match. Here I will light a candle. Gotta get some good aromas out here. We gotta do it for Jake too anyway.
Jake Mercer: :wtf:
Tyrone Montgomery: Anyway… Mia is now looking unhinged as she picks up Auburn and drags her over to the ropes throwing her neck down on it! And now Mia is pressing her boot into the back of the neck of Auburn choking her out! Mia is ignoring the referee even as he tries to get her to break up this illegal hold! At this point I don’t think Mia cares if she gets disqualified as she will keep her title anyway!
Stew-O: But Mia lets go as Auburn collapses to the mat coughing and heaving. Mia is signalling to the crowd now that she is going to end it all!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: This crowd definitely wants to see Mia lose the title but that does not look extremely likely at the moment! Auburn slowly back up-
Stew-O: APHRODITE’S KISS!!!
Jake Mercer: Auburn just got wreck-
Tyrone Montgomery: No! Auburn counters by yanking the hair of Mia and causing her to fall backwards into the ropes! Both women tumble through the ropes and crash on the outside yet again! This ring just can’t contain these two wild ass wrestlers getting it on like crazy!!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Stew-O: Both Auburn and Mia are now getting up on the outside! Auburn slides back in to reset the count but then swings around kicking at Mia in the face! Mia falls backwards as she lands on the steel ring steps. Auburn climbs up to the apron and runs across the apron before leaping off hitting a Senton onto the steel steps flattening Mia like a pancake. Mia coughs up blood from the impact before falling down to the floor.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE-
Tyrone Montgomery: Auburn rolls back into the ring to reset the count again before rolling back out to the outside. Auburn lifts up Mia and drops her face first over our announce table before whipping her hard into the barricade. Auburn is rolling and beating the hell out of the champion all around the ringside area!
Stew-O: Mia just jumped into the ring but Auburn is chasing her! Auburn charges in with a Dropkick-
Tyrone Montgomery: But Mia pulls the referee right in the way and he takes the dropkick! But Auburn grabs Mia and throws her back out of the ring! Auburn then runs the ropes and flies out of the ring taking out Mia with a Suicide Dive! Auburn is rolling!
Stew-O: Auburn Ware grabs Mia Santoro from behind and drops her hard on the floor with a German Suplex. Mia is holding her head in pain as Auburn picks her up and slams her head into the ring post. Mia goes flying across ringside as blood begins to trickle down her forehead from the force that she was sent into the post.
Jake Mercer: Auburn is signalling for something here now as she grabs Mia and picks her up over her head! She lifts her up here right in front of our announce table!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: AUBURN WARE DROPS MIA SANTORO WITH THE VERITY!!!
Stew-O: She got all of it! She just obliterated Mia right there and Mia is knocked the hell out! All Auburn has to do is get Mia back into the ring! She can just roll her in, pin her, and win the title!!! Let’s go Auburn! The referee that got knocked down earlier is slowly starting to get up as well holding his head in pain! I guess that explains why he hasn’t counted either of them out this whole time!
(Auburn’s fan at ringside is marking out knowing that she is about to win this entire match and is jumping with joy.)
Obsessed Auburn Ware Fan: (off-mic) OMG AUBURN I LOVE YOU! PLEASE AUBURN! SIGN THIS ACTION FIGURE! AUBURN! AUBURN! AUBURN!!!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) Umm I’m kind of busy right now! I’ll sign it after the match!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Auburn Ware is picking up Mia Santoro as she grabs her and rolls her back into the ring!
Obsessed Auburn Ware Fan: (off-mic) No Auburn. You stupid bitch. I think you should do it now-
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Jake Mercer: AHH! HELL NAW!
Tyrone Montgomery: That fan just lunged at Auburn Ware outside the ring!
Stew-O: SECURITY DO YOUR DAMN JOB!
Tyrone Montgomery: THE FAN JUST OPENED HIS MOUTH AND SPRAYED MIST RIGHT INTO THE EYES OF AUBURN WARE!!!
Stew-O: AUBURN JUST FELL TO THE GROUND OUTSIDE THE RING AS SHE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro is now rolling outside the ring and is laughing as Auburn Ware is screaming in pain.
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) I CAN’T SEE! AHHH! I CAN’T SEE! I’M BLIIIIIIINNDDDD!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Auburn Ware’s eyesight has been taken away from her! This isn’t good! Ref call for the damn DQ!
Stew-O: But the referee didn’t see any of this! He is still recovering from the dropkick in the ring.
(The Auburn Ware “fan” is shown going back over the barricade to take his seat. He removes his Auburn Ware turtle neck sweater to reveal a Mia Santoro t-shirt instead. Mia laughs as she places a wad of cash in his hand as the fan smells the money that she has handed to him.)
Obsessed Mia Santoro Fan: (off-mic) I’ll never wash this hand again! I love you Mia!
Tyrone Montgomery: Oh come on! This guy was a plant!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro just paid off this guy to mist Auburn Ware! This is some bullshit!
Jake Mercer: Hmm this guy got Mia to pay him and got in her good graces? I should take notes!
Tyrone Montgomery: No! No you shouldn’t! This is a disgrace to wrestling! Mia is rolling Auburn back into the ring and she drops Auburn with the Aphrodite’s Kiss! Auburn can’t see and now she might be knocked the hell out! Mia then slides into the cover!
Referee: …
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) COUNT GOD DAMN IT!!!
(Mia Santoro shakes the referee as he begins the count.)
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: …

Referee: .
Tyrone Montgomery: WHAT?!?!
Stew-O: Auburn Ware just kicked out! BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD JAKE HOW IN THE HELL IS SHE STILL IN THIS THING?!?!?
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia Santoro cannot believe it! She went all out to steal this match and fuck Auburn over but still it was not enough!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro pulls Auburn Ware up again! She is going for another Aphrodite’s Kiss!!!-
Tyrone Montgomery: But Auburn Ware headbutts Mia out of nowhere knocking her backwards! But Auburn still can’t see at all where she is in the ring!
Referee: Wait a minute why does she have that shit all over her face?!?!?
Stew-O: Oh shit the referee is noticing the mist! But Mia Santoro immediately sprints past him quickly and hits the Last Day in Paradise!!! Mia with her most dangerous maneuver!!!-
Tyrone Montgomery: No! Auburn dodged it quickly!
Stew-O: Auburn grabs around wildly unable to see anything in the ring as she falls backwards in her attempt to dodge that move!!!-
Tyrone Montgomery: But Auburn got her hands on Mia! Auburn pulls Mia down to the mat with her!!!-
Stew-O: AUBURN WARE LOCKS MIA SANTORO INTO THE LOVELY BONES!!! Auburn somehow managed to grab Mia and just locked her into a deadly submission hold right in the middle of the ring!!!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia is screaming and thrashing around trying to roll Auburn over to get to the ropes! She flips her over one time but Auburn manages to hang on!!!
Stew-O: Mia reaches out for the ropes! She can see her championship gleaming on the other side of the ring ropes! She only needs to reach out and grab it!
Tyrone Montgomery: Mia is about to touch the ropes! She can do it! She is touching them!!!
Stew-O: Mia slams her hand down hard over the ropes!!!!-

( “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar hits as the crowd erupts into cheers with the entire arena shaking from the standing ovation that Auburn Ware has received.)
Tyrone Montgomery: She did it! The dream has come true for Auburn Ware! She’s the champion! I can’t believe it!!!
Stew-O: She can’t see anything however but I think she realizes what is happening as the referee hands her the championship!!!
(Officials from ringside are shown entering the ring to wipe the mist out of Auburn’s eyes so she can see at least somewhat during her victory celebration.)
Tyrone Montgomery: What a great moment for Auburn! She is going to be ending 2025 as a champion at last!!!
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) NO! NOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(Mia Santoro is shown punching a turnbuckle raging out over the loss before heading backstage dejectedly clearly not taking the loss well at all.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Rough night for Mia Santoro who ends her year on a sour note. But I am sure there will be much more in store for her next year.
Stew-O: She really pulled out all the stops to retain her title. Committing all kinds of devious deeds and acts but in the end it was not enough on this night!
Tyrone Montgomery: Congratulations once again to the NEW EAW Specialists Champion… Auburn Ware!!! Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring an advertisement for a hero shooter featuring EAW characters. EAW has spent half their budget on this game so let’s hope it will be a success!)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest… is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR, THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(‘Altair’ by INUWASI can be heard throughout the speakers as the crowd allows their reactions to be heard. Anna Wautier emerges from the back as the #1 Contender nods to herself in the wake of the championship match to come. The waves of elation can be felt throughout the audience as Anna sports a focused grin on her face.)
Stephie Love: Introducing the challenger! From Yokohama, Japan! Weighing in at 142 pounds… ANNAAAAAAAAAA WAUTIERRRRR!!!
Stew-O: Anna Wautier has been able to quickly work on building this trajectory for herself that can prove to be all the more impressive if she is successful tonight! This title match against the Interwire Champion will be the biggest test that she can possibly have in the wake of her first championship to possibly accomplish!
Flannery McCoy: After everything that Anna has experienced throughout her tenure here so far, she has remained battle tested as ever, and she will be sure to have the most surefire task ahead of becoming Interwire Champion, as she has rightfully punched her ticket to achieving so much of the potential she brings!
(‘Ultra Instinct’ can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience reacts loudly to the arrival of the Interwire Champion, BRAE. The champion sports the title around his waist, gazing upon the crowd with an intense gaze on his face, maintaining all of his focus as he’s walking down the ramp ready for the title match.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her opponent! From Novosibirsk, Russia! Weighing in at 215 pounds… HE IS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION… ‘SON’ BRRRRRRRRRAE!!!
Stew-O: The Interwire Champion has always remained one to accept any challenge that should come his way, and this is not any different, as BRAE is all the more focused for the title match ahead. BRAE’s looking to have another successful encounter with his opponent tonight, and that much is a treat for Road to Redemption to have.
Jake Mercer: BRAE has been focused on ensuring that he can be the absolute best champion possible through every battle, and to march into battle as a defending champion against a newfound competitor that has been able to look him in the eye and show no fear whatsoever, will make this all the more interesting!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! BRAE & Anna Wautier are set to collide for the Interwire Championship right here on Road to Redemption—AS THERE’S NO WASTED MOTION FROM ANNA WITH A DROPKICK! Anna dropkicks BRAE into the corner as she’s now shooting back up, and she rushes toward him with repeated forearm strikes across his jaw as she doesn’t want to let up! She looks to set the pace early in this match as there will be no wasted motion from here on out! Anna is applying the pressure while she can, sending each forearm with as much force as she possibly muster to prevent BRAE from returning the fire back toward her!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRAE SHIFTS & YANKS ANNA INTO THE CORNER! He begins to pile on the forearms as well while Anna is caught in the corner!! The referee is counting down on BRAE just as much as he was trying to for Wautier but the champion will not waste any time making the most out of the count! Each forearm is ringing true across Anna’s temple as BRAE is not backing himself away—not until Anna sends a sudden boot to shove BRAE off of herself! BRAE maintains balance as he’s not dropping down in any sort, focused on his opponent while motioning toward her with all of the energy he can have!
Jake Mercer: ANNA WITH A BOOT ACROSS HIS JAW! BRAE is kept at bay for now as Anna is now looking to bring herself up to the top of the turnbuckle while BRAE is staggered from the boot! Wautier needs to keep on the attack before BRAE can start mounting up his own momentum against her as he thrives when asserting himself to that degree—BUT ANNA LAUNCHES FORWARD WITH A CROSSBODY FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO SEND BRAE FALLING BACK AGAINST THE CANVAS! Anna is moving with the urgency that she needs for this match!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK! BRAE is able to roll himself backward & right up to a knee while keeping Anna Wautier held as well!!! Anna is wide-eyed as BRAE is now looking to deliver on putting an end to this spell of Anna’s energy surmounting him, as he’s fixing her right over his shoulders!! Anna is in trouble as BRAE has her in a vicarious position here, now rushing toward the corner as he’s looking for the POWERBOMB INTO THE TURNBUCKLE HERE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANNA WITH A HURRICANRANA THAT PROPELS BRAE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE SKULL FIRST!!! BRAE couldn’t commit to any powerbomb attempt after Anna Wautier decided that the hurricanrana would be the way to go there! The Interwire Champion is now placed in another troublesome position, with Anna nodding to herself while BRAE is steadily rising back up to his feet, refusing to stay down in his own right after everything that he’s been through already throughout his reign! BUT ANNA ISN’T SLOWING HERSELF DOWN AS SHE ALLOWS FOR A PENDULUM SPIN KICK TO RATTLE BRAE EVEN FURTHER!
Jake Mercer: THE KICK CATCHES BRAE RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW!! BRAE stumbles backward & through the ropes, holding onto them to prevent himself from falling off onto the ringside floor as he’s now keeping himself situated on the apron! BRAE is trying to shake off the kick despite being nailed with real precision from Anna, but it looks like Anna wants to keep on maintaining the pace that she’s been able to earn herself so far as BRAE can be placed in a world of trouble from here! Wautier sees what has to be done, and she’s now looking to rush those ropes, and rebound back toward the camp’ as she’s looking for the THRUST KICK—
Stew-O: BUT A SWIFT KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM BRAE CATCHES ANNA RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST AS HE SIDESTEPS!! Anna is cut off right as she tried to lift the leg as she’s now leaning over the middle rope, left in this spot where BRAE now has all of the opportunity in the world to make the most out of the situation! BRAE doesn’t seem to be wasting too much time, as Anna tries to pull herself away—‘TILL BRAE GETS AN ARM AROUND HER NECK! REAR NAKED CHOKE!! BRAE is now dragging Anna Wautier away from the ropes & right over the apron as he’s applying a choke to suppress Anna further before she can even think about motioning away!
Flannery McCoy: NOT GOOD!! Anna is struggling here as BRAE is very much ahead in the strength department, he can maintain this for as long as he needs to and Anna’s getting her hand over the rope! She’s clutching onto the rope as the referee is now counting down on BRAE, each second becoming all the more important as this can cause a disqualification for the Interwire Champion which certainly is not what he wants to aim for here—BUT BRAE YANKS ANNA AWAY FROM THE ROPES & KEEPS HER HELD OFF OF THE APRON IN THIS CHOKE!! ANNA IS LITERALLY KICKING HER OWN LEGS AROUND WHILE BEING SUSPENDED IN THE AIR IN THIS CHOKE!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANNA FINDS HER FOOTING OVER THE APRON—AND SHOVES BRAE INTO THE RING POST BACK FIRST!!! Anna uses just enough of her own energy to cause BRAE to be shoved into the post, which immediately forces the champion to let go of the choke as Anna’s now coughing up one hell of a storm after that! A scary moment there but Wautier is using the ropes to pull herself back up, as she’s now glancing over to BRAE while he’s left in this staggered state as they’re both stood over the apron! Anna sees her opening and she’s rushing ahead AS SHE LEAPS TOWARD BRAE—
Stew-O: A RUNNING HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS BRAE CRASHING HARD ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! Anna herself has taken quite the sizable fall from that maneuver but it’s a risk she knew she was taking!!! BRAE is immediately arching himself in pain with a hand over his own lower back, while Anna is struggling to recover quickly as well!!! An immense maneuver, and Anna is now beginning to stir, taking hold of the barricade to drag herself back up to her own two feet as BRAE is still crawling!
Flannery McCoy: As Anna is now walking herself over, complete refusal to slow down here as she’s now running toward BRAE—AND A SHOTGUN DROPKICK OF SORTS SENDS BRAE AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!! Anna Wautier is mounting up all of the momentum in the world tonight as this match can truly go her way if she maintains this pace! BRAE’s back is certainly taking up much of the strife in this match as Anna is trying to keep herself steady, but this can really go wrong for the Interwire Champion even further depending on how all of this is meant to go!
Jake Mercer: As Anna’s taking a hold of BRAE’s hair, dragging him over to the best of her own ability toward the ring as she’s able to push him back into the canvas! BRAE is still on the crawl, not out of the wood just yet in terms of remaining conscious as he’s crawling himself around while Anna is following suit! The challenger has the entire world at the palm of her hands the longer that BRAE is kept suppressed from going on any momentum shifts here, as she rushes past BRAE and toward the ropes, rebounding back toward him WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW!!! I THINK I SAW A TOOTH FLY OUT! Anna hooks the leg from here as the referee counts away!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THR—
Stew-O: NO! BRAE KICKS OUT!! Anna is nodding to herself as she takes notice of how she will need to do far more in order to bring an end to this match! In order to become Interwire Champion, there will have to be a substantial amount more done to put down BRAE & become a renowned name here in EAW! Anna Wautier is rising to her feet, continuously nodding as BRAE is leaning against the ropes, still unable to rise to his feet here as Anna is now rushing those ropes again! She’s looking for another one here!
Flannery McCoy: LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BASEMENT DROP—LARIAT!!! A SUDDEN LARIAT FROM BRAE TURNS ANNA WAUTIER INSIDE OUT!!! Anna is wide eyed and certainly dazed from that lariat as she’s not staying dormant, but she’s too dazed to even find her own footing here! BRAE rises to his feet with a hand across his own lower back, continuing to venture toward the pressure that he’s now looking to return back to Wautier as HE NAILS A SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER THAT PUTS ANNA DOWN!! Anna is clutching onto her own neck right now as she’s rolling herself away, refusing to keep herself in this compromised position as she’s left in the corner once more!
Jake Mercer: As BRAE is continuing to focus in on the challenger & everything that he can garner in this match, Anna is bringing herself back up, not looking to keep herself down for long while BRAE is now looking to rush himself forward as he’s RUNNING AHEAD FOR A BIG BOOT—BUT ANNA WITH A KNEE LIFT THAT STAGGERS BRAE BACK!! BRAE is stumbling backward, dropping to a knee as Anna sees another opportunity here to deliver on keeping the Interwire Champ’ from mounting enough offense to put her down! Wautier now rushes ahead and SEEKS OUT ANOTHER SPIN KICK—
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS—NO! BRAE CAUGHT THE LEG!! BRAE is keeping his grasp on the leg as Anna is quickly bringing herself upward, left standing on one leg as BRAE has her leg held—OH MY GOODNESS!!! A VICIOUS DRAGON SCREW CAUSES ANNA TO IMMEDIATELY REACT IN PAIN!! Wautier is clutching onto her left leg as the referee is now rushing to check on Anna right here, and BRAE is taking notice to the agony that she’s been caught within as he’s now understanding everything that can be done from here! Wautier is shaking her head vigorously as the referee is asking her repeatedly if she’s good to go!
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW BRAE RUSHES ON THE PROWL! HE TAKES HOLD OF HER LEG AND PROCEEDS TO DRILL DOWNWARD WITH ANOTHER DRAGON SCREW!!! Anna’s yelling out in pain as she’s in all of the pain in the world!!! The referee is keeping a watchful eye of Anna as this can possibly be a terrible injury of some sort with how she’s reacting right now! BRAE is not looking to relent back at all as this is a match for the title that he has to defend in order to close out the year properly! He motions himself back toward Anna, and he is looking to put her down before she can even get the chance!
Jake Mercer: As BRAE is now taking a hold of Anna Wautier, and he gets his arms wrapped around her waist as he’s looking to send the message fully with a DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX—BUT ANNA HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES!! Anna is desperately holding onto the ropes as BRAE drops her down to her feet, keeping the hold around her waist despite Wautier now looking for an elbow—BRAE STOMPS INTO THE BACK OF HER LEG!!! IMMEDIATELY CAUSING ANNA TO LET GO IN PAIN AS HE COMMITS TO THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! RIGHT OVER THE BACK OF HER NECK AS HE MAINTAINS A BRIDGING PIN!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THR—
Stew-O: ANNA KICKS OUT—BUT BRAE MAINTAINS A HOLD OF HER LEG, AND IMMEDIATELY SHIFTS INTO A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!!! Anna is yelling out as the referee immediately rushes to scan her face! Anna is shaking her own head repeatedly as BRAE is maintaining this single leg with everything that he can muster in his strength! Wrenching her left leg back with force as this is only causing greater pain upon Anna Wautier that she can’t afford to endure through this deep into the match!! Wautier is quickly looking around as the hurry to escape this submission is getting through to her!
Flannery McCoy: Anna is trying to make the crawl!!! She’s dragging at the canvas as she’s dragging her own bodyweight forward while BRAE is refusing to let go of this submission here! This can turn out terribly if this continues to go his way here as the challenger is being placed in quite the ringer right now! The Interwire Champion continues to wrench her leg back with this boston crab as Anna is managing to inch closer to the ropes from here! Wautier is fingertips away from the ropes BUT BRAE IS NOW LOOKING TO DRAG HER AWAY! HE LETS GO & KEEPS A HOLD OF HER LEG AS HE’S DRAGGING HER BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING—
Jake Mercer: TILL WAUTIER RISES UP WITH A SWIFT ENZIGURI THAT CAUSES BRAE TO LET GO & STAGGER! BRAE is rocked by the enziguri as he’s struggling to keep his ground!!! He stumbles backward and against the ropes, and Anna is bringing herself back up but very quickly is forced to latch onto the ropes in order to find her stance again!!! BRAE is able to snap out of it as Wautier is left in this struggle with herself due to the leg that’s been turning for the worse!! The Interwire Champ’ rushes ahead for a CLOTHESLINE—
Stew-O: ANNA SHIFTS AROUND & CATCHES HIS ARM—INTO A CROSS ARMBREAKER!!! ANNA WAUTIER WITH THE CROSS ARMBREAKER FULLY APPLIED!!! BRAE is immediately interlocking his hands together as he’s keeping his palms held tightly to prevent Wautier from committing completely to a full on armbreaker here! The referee constantly keeping that eye on the submission as this is the difference between winning and losing championship gold! BRAE shakes his own head as he’s acknowledging that he shouldn’t have gotten himself trapped in this predicament to begin with!
Flannery McCoy: As BRAE is now shifting his weight around, and in this seated position before now turning himself right over Anna, who is still trying to keep this armbreaker applied!! The Interwire Champion is now motioning up to a knee, and Anna’s shoulder’s aren’t down on the canvas so no pin can be made here for the referee to count! Despite this, BRAE is steadily rising… AND PROCEEDING TO LIFT ANNA UPWARD FROM THE MAT! Anna is lifted off of the canvas as BRAE is now looking ahead to the corner, THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR ANNA—
Jake Mercer: AS BRAE DRIVES ANNA RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE IN RESPONSE!!! Anna is immediately holding onto her own neck before slumping through the ropes to bring herself out of harm’s way! BRAE is controlling his breath here, as he sees Anna Wautier has been able to shift herself back over the apron as he will know how to bring her back into the canvas to put her away! BRAE emphasizes stretching his arm briefly, not looking to see his own arm become a problem after that submission attempt from Anna, as he then brings herself over to where Wautier is situated!
Stew-O: BRAE takes hold of Anna’s hair, tugging to pull her upward as he’s now able to get his grasp around her neck, and as he has Wautier situated accordingly, BRAE looks to HOIST ANNA UPWARD AND SUPLEX HIS OPPONENT BACK INTO THE RING WITH A VERTICAL—BUT A KNEE FROM ANNA ACROSS HIS SKULL CONNECTS!!! BRAE is forced to put Wautier back down as he’s now leaving a palm over his own skull, but now Anna is able to retort by TAKING HOLD OF HIS ARM AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHE APPLIES AN ARMBAR RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! BRAE’S ARM IS BEING WRENCHED DOWNWARD AS ANNA IS MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THE MODIFIED ARM BAR OVER THE ROPES! The referee is counting down on Anna is she cannot apply this for too long!!! She can get disqualified if she does not let go, yet she is absolutely making every single second count to annex BRAE from providing the offense necessary against his challenger as this submission is continuing to stay applied!
Jake Mercer: Anna finally lets go of the submission just before the count of five from the referee! BRAE is clutching onto his arm as he shakes his own head vigorously, refusing to accept that he’s been placed under as much pressure as he has from essentially a one-legged competitor in her first chance to become a champion! Wautier doesn’t waste another moment dragging BRAE through the ropes & over the apron, AS SHE NAILS A SPINNING ELBOW THAT CAUSES BRAE TO SLUMP AGAINST THE ROPES!! BRAE is dormant, on one knee while situated on the apron as well, leaning against the ropes as Anna Wautier has the opportunity to put an end to this before BRAE to recapture any of his composure!
Stew-O: Wautier is bringing herself over to the turnbuckle, and now she’s bringing herself upward, nodding to herself as she shakes off the pain surging throughout her own leg as BRAE is dormant while she needs to take full advantage of that fact! Anna finds her footing over the top of the turnbuckle, and takes one glance back as she seems to be aiming for a maneuver that can bring an end to his reign!! Anna is looking to make the absolute most happen from here while BRAE steadily rises back to his feet with a hand on the ropes—AS ANNA TAKES OFF! ‘BELLE PAPILLON’ RIGHT ONTO THE UNFORGIVING APRON!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRAE REFUSES!!! HE HOLDS ONTO THE ROPE & MAINTAINS ANNA’S LEGS OVER HIS OWN SHOULDERS AS ANNA IS WIDE-EYED!!! BRAE is maintaining the grasp through sheer willpower and aid of the ropes as Anna can’t commit to the reverse hurricanrana as BRAE is now teetering forward toward the post, Wautier has nowhere to go and she’s struggling to find her way out of this situation she finds herself in as BRAE IS FORCING HIMSELF TO DRIVE HER UP & FORWARD—OH MY GOD!!!!
Jake Mercer: REVERSE ALABAMA SLAM DRIVES ANNA WAUTIER’S FACE RIGHT OVER THE RING POST!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! ANNA COLLAPES DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR & IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHES ONTO HER OWN FACE!! THE REFEREE IS IMMEDIATELY ROLLING OUT OF THE RING TO CHECK ON HER! This is not good!!! This is not good at all!!! Anna Wautier is clutching onto her own face here—and I think we’re about to see what exactly is the real issue there!!!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD, HER NOSE IS DISPLACED! Anna Wautier’s nose is in trouble as it’s bleeding profusely, with BRAE now left in heavy breath after having to utilize all of his strength to initiate that alabama slam & send Anna into the world of hurt! But wait, Anna’s garnering a proper hold of her nose here, and she’s controlling her breath as the referee has a perplexed look on his face after trying to assess the situation as this title match is still rolling on, Anna is—
(CRUNCH!!!!)
Anna Wautier: (off-mic) AGH!!!
Flannery McCoy: DID SHE JUST SNAP HER NOSE BACK INTO PLACE?!??! ANNA WAUTIER IS TOUGHER THAN NAILS! SHE JUST PLACED HER NOSE BACK TOGETHER AS THE BLOOD IS CONTINUING TO POUR!! Anna is now using the barricade to drag herself back up to her feet, refusing to stay down for too long as she doesn’t want this match to come to a standstill when she’s so close to becoming a champion tonight!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE LEFT LEG!!!! BRAE ROLLED OUT OF THE RING & TOOK IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION BEFORE ANNA COULD RECOVER!! Anna Wautier is tough as all hell but now BRAE’s putting that to the test, as he’s now dragging her over to the apron and tossing her back inside! BRAE rolls himself back in the ring, as Wautier is left on one good leg trying to stand herself back up, turning toward the Interwire Champion—WHO’S RUSHING AHEAD—
Stew-O: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF ANNA!!! ANNA IS DOWN!!! BRAE is now rushing downward to the cover as the referee slides to the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NOT ENOUGH!! ANNA KICKS OUT!!! ANNA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH—AS BRAE IS RUSHING TO HER LEG!!! BRAE IS NOT ALLOWING ANOTHER MOMENT TO GO TO WASTE—‘CAUSE HE’S APPLYING ‘BRIGID END’!!! BRAE IS LOOKING FOR THE INVERTED CLOVER LEAF AS ANNA IS SHAKING HER HEAD! SHE SENDS REPEATED BOOTS ACROSS HIS FACE AS HE’S ATTEMPTING TO PLACE HER IN A POTENTIALLY MATCH ENDING SUBMISSION!!!
Jake Mercer: BRAE is forced to let go!!!! Anna quickly brings herself up to a leg as she’s struggling to keep total balance, with BRAE rising back up to his feet as Wautier looks for SPINNING ELBOW—BUT BRAE DUCKS UNDER! BRAE rushes past Wautier who stumbles a bit on her bad leg! BRAE rushes toward the ropes & rebounds back toward Anna as he RUSHES AHEAD & LOOKS FOR—
Stew-O: # ‘MORRIGAN’!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: ’STARRY NIGHT PRISON’!!!! ANNA WAUTIER LOCKS BRAE WITHIN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE!!! ANNA IS TRYING TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN AS BRAE IS STRUGGLING TO ESCAPE!!! BRAE IS SCRAMBLING BUT ANNA CONTINUES TO CONSTRICT HIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE SITUATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: BRAE is refusing to give in here! He is not even thinking about tapping out as it’s the last damn thing that he’s willing to do! BRAE tries to deadlift Anna Wautier upward, refusing to let this submission get the better off of him here—BUT ANNA IS SENDING STIFF UNPROTECTED ELBOWS OVER HIS SKULL!!! BRAE CAN’T LIFT HER UP AS WAUTIER IS SENDING ELBOW AFTER ELBOW! STRIKE AFTER STRIKE!!! BRAE MIGHT GO LIMP & UNCONSCIOUS AS THE REFEREE IS KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM! ANNA IS MOMENTS AWAY FROM BECOMING CHAMPION!
Stew-O: BRAE SHIFTS HIS WEIGHT FORWARD & FORCES ANNA’S SHOULDERS TO BE PRESSED AGAINST THE MAT!!! THE REFEREE COUNTS AWAY AS ANNA IS SQUIRMING BUT UNABLE TO BREAK FREE!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT!! ANNA IS ABLE TO EMERGE & POWER HERSELF OUT! BRAE is now shaking off the pressure looking to recover as quickly as he can despite Anna Wautier’s insistence to continue applying the pressure as she can! Wautier is steadily rising, on one good leg with her nose continuing to profusely pour out blood as BRAE is rushing ahead looking for A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE FROM HERE—BUT ANNA TAKES HOLD OF HIS ARM & AN ARM DRAG CAUSES BRAE TO ROLL THROUGH THE ROPES!!
Jake Mercer: As BRAE holds onto the ropes, rising upward yet again as he’s back on the apron, with Anna Wautier taking the glance over to BRAE while he’s rising upward, and Wautier shakes her own head as she steadily motions herself over toward BRAE, taking a hold of his hair as he’s being dragged back up to his feet—BUT A BACK ELBOW STOPS ANNA RIGHT IN HER TRACKS! Wautier is forced to back herself away as she drops to a knee, as BRAE is now rising upward, and he sees his own opportunity arise from here as he LEAPS UPWARD & LOOKS FOR A SPRINGBOARD SHOULDER—
Stew-O: ‘PARADISE KISS’ WHILE BRAE LAUNCHED FORWARD!!!! THE HEADBUTT FROM ANNA WAUTIER CATCHES BRAE IN THE MOST EMPHATIC WAY POSSIBLE!!! Anna Wautier has her chance! She has her moment to make this become a match where she can garner the most important win of her career!!! BRAE is absolutely dazed as Anna is now motioning herself up to the top of the turnbuckle while BRAE can’t retort back against her!!!! Anna is taking another risk, counting on this moment to be where she can launch herself, as she PROCEEDS TO LEAP OFF!
Flannery McCoy: ‘BELLE PAPILLON’!!!! SHE DID IT!!!! THE TOP ROPE REVERSE HURRICANRANA SPIKES BRAE RIGHT ONTO HIS SKULL & CAUSES HIM TO SLUMP DOWN!!!!

Anna takes a hold of BRAE’s wrist, refusing to let go as BRAE is trying to garner back much of his own consciousness right now after being dropped on his head! The Interwire Champion remains in trouble, as Anna is dragging BRAE upward, looking to use every last shred of her energy to send BRAE spiraling back down into that canvas with what she has next for him… AS SHE’S LOOKING TO HOIST HIM!
Stew-O: FOR ‘MODERN TRAGEDY’— BUT BRAE WITH A STOMP RIGHT OVER HER LEG AS SHE ATTEMPTS TO DO SO!!! ANNA IMMEDIATELY LETS GO AS SHE CLUTCHES ONTO HER LEG!!!

(The referee is continuously checking on Anna Wautier, who is continuing to display immeasurable heart as she shakes her head repeatedly.)
Referee: (off-mic) C’MON ANNA, DO YOU SUBMIT?? ARE YOU DONE???
(Anna’s resilience to submitting maintains itself fully, despite all of the difficulty in trying to drag herself toward the ropes, she is still refusing to submit & give up, as BRAE is realizing there will be no other way to end this match.)
Flannery McCoy: HE—OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILLLLLLL INTERWIRE CHAMPION… ‘SON’ BRAEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: My goodness, that was such an immense match between two elitists who were willing to give absolutely everything against each other in order to complete this year as a champion.
Jake Mercer: Anna Wautier, my god, all of the props given to a contender who took the ball of a challenger & ran like hell! She did everything that she possibly could out there! Fought through a bad leg, had to snap her nose back into place, almost made BRAE tap out there too!!! She gave it all that she could!
Stew-O: That she did, and who knows how this could have played out if she didn’t have such a hindrance that the champion created—nonetheless, BRAE shows that he is still here to reign supreme through sheer force & nature. Congratulations; and STILL, Interwire Champion, BRAE.
(‘Ultra Instinct’ can be heard throughout the speakers as the referee hands the title to BRAE, who steadily rises to his feet, as he hoists the Interwire Championship high. Anna is able to lean against the ropes, with an official checking on her leg as she clutches onto her nose, glancing off to BRAE with slight disappointment, yet rather proud of her own performance as BRAE gives the respectable nod to Anna as the scene soon fades.)
(A commercial plays for Stranger Things.)
(Road to Redemption returns and the next match graphic flashes across the screen.)
(It fades to the ring where Bella Braxton is standing by.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE EXTREME ENIGMA MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYALE!!!!
(A montage of the late Hall of Famer’s career plays across the screen and the fans inside the Superdome are treated to a reminder that Extreme Enigma was an Elitist who was well before his time and one of the most talented individuals to ever step foot inside of an EAW ring. He was taken away from the world far too soon and will forever be remembered for his unorthodox style and unmatched passion.)
(The fans chant Extreme Enigma’s name as this year’s participants make their way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: This year’s match features nine incredibly talented Elitists looking to take home the biggest prize we have ever offered for this match. This year’s winner will win… $500,000!!!
(The thunk of a headset can be heard.)
Persephone: WTF? Where the hell are you going, Gavin??
Gavin Kirkland: (off-mic) Half a million dollars?? Fuck it! We ball!
Stew-O: Sit your ass down and call the match.
(All nine competitors are inside the ring and a reluctant Gavin Kirkland returns to the broadcast booth and replaces his headset.)
Bella Braxton: This year’s competitors are… SOSA HENDERSON FROM DYNASTY!
(The camera catches a shot of a confident SOSA Henderson)
Bella Braxton: BOA… MATTHEW KAZAMA… AND DAMIEN KUTCHER FROM SHOWDOWN!!
(A shot is taken of the talented Showdown trio composed of two newcomers in BOA and Kazama, and Damien Kutcher, who has always been tapped for a breakout moment.)
Bella Braxton: AND REPRESENTING VOLTAGE… CANDICE BLAIR… NICK. … DIEGO MONTANA… CODY MAVERICK… AND COSMO GOLDWORTHY!
(The Voltage five are shown and each look equally determined to win this match and claim the unprecedented amount of prize money for themselves.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! As we all know, there were supposed to ten Elitists competing in this year’s match but S-
Persephone: (interrupting) BUT ARIA finally snapped and just beat the living shit out of Saori Aizen. We haven’t got an update on her condition yet, but ARIA might have actually broken the bitch’s neck.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think I’ve ever been more turned on in my life than by the sight of a blood covered ARIA standing over my fallen Asian fantasy.
Persephone: Alright man.
Stew-O: Anyways, Candice Blair has made a beeline right for SOSA Henderson, while the Showdown trio has gone right after the four remaining Voltage competitors! NICK. and BOA, two recent signees who have been nothing but impressive since their debuts are throwing hands, while Damien and Kazama have gone right after Cosmo, Cody, and Diego!
Gavin Kirkland: Diego has managed to slip away and goes right through the bottom rope! I don’t think he wants anything to do with multiple people in the same match! Frankly I think I should take his place and go help Candice, who is tied up in the corner with SOSA.
Persephone: As useless as the fourth Ava is, she’s not THAT useless. She doesn’t need anything from you except maybe a restraining order.
Gavin Kirkland: I miss her so much on Showdown :noah:.
Stew-O: DIEGO HAS BROUGHT A CHAIR INTO THE RING! He slams it across the back of BOA but it didn’t even phase her! She turns around and looks at Diego, and he looks petrified! DIEGO HAS DROPPED THE CHAIR AND GOES TO RUN BUT BOA GRABS HIM! DIEGO IS SHAKING HIS HEAD BUT BOA STARTS BATTERING HIM WITH FOREARMS TO THE FACE!
Persephone: CODY MAVERICK AND COSMO GOLDWORTHY HAVE TEAMED UP AND THEY HAVE BACKED DAMIEN AND KAZAMA INTO THE ROPES! THEY RUN TOWARDS THEM AND GO TO CLOTHESLINE BOTH MEN OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT DAMIEN AND KAZAMA SPRING FORWARD, DUCK UNDERNEATH CODY AND COSMO, AND NAIL THEM WITH DROPKICKS TO THE BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: CODY AND COSMO CRASH TO THE GROUND AND KAZAMA AND DAMIEN START PUTTING THE BOOTS TO THEM! BOA, WHO’S FORCED DIEGO INTO THE CORNER! SHE’S TRYING TO GET HIS LEG OVER THE ROPES, BUT DIEGO CATCHES HER IN THE EYE WITH HIS THUMB!
Stew-O: BOA IS FORCED BACK AND DIEGO CLOTHESLINES HER TO THE GROUND! HE SEES DAMIEN AND KAZAMA AND NAILS THEM BOTH IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM!
Persephone: DAMIEN AND KAZAMA WHIRL AROUND!
Diego Montana: https://c.tenor.com/4Ro-nOcEVVMAAAAd/tenor.gif

Persephone: WHILE ALL THAT DUMB SHIT HAS BEEN GOING ON, THE FOURTH AVA AND SOSA HENDRSON HAVE BEEN WAGING THEIR OWN BATTLE!
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE HAS STOMPED SOSA DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION AND IS USING HER FOOT TO CHOKE HIM! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO JEALOUS OF ANOTHER MAN IN MY LIFE!
Stew-O: SOSA STILL HAS SOME LIFE LEFT IN HIM BECAUSE HE’S GRABBED A HOLD OF CANDICE’S FOOT! HE MAINTAINS CONTROL WHILE PULLING HIMSELF UP WITH HIS FREE HAND AND HE SPINS CANDICE AROUND! SHE DUCKS SOSA’S ATTEMPT AT A SPINNING BACK FIST AND CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE!

Persephone: Bro relax, it was just a saito suplex! As now Candice has her attention towards Cody who tried to eliminate Diego from this match but couldn’t as they now trade some punches back and forth! Rights from Candice! Lefts from Cody!
Stew-O: Candice lands headbutt towards Cody which has him stunned momentarily and NICK COMES RUSHING IN TOWARDS CANDICE WITH A LARIAT!!! IT TAKES CANDICE OFF HER FEET AS NICK TRIES TO ELIMINATE CODY!!!

Persephone: BUT BOA LUNGES HERSELF TO THE ROPES CAUSING KAZAMA TO LAND RIB FIRST AND TUMBLES OUT THE RING!!!!
Bella Braxton: MATTHEW KAZAMA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Stew-O: And now we are down to five competitors here after Kazama was eliminated by BOA! And here comes Goldworthy trying to grab the leg and dump her over that top rope! She manages to hang on here though…and brings an elbow right to the side of his head! He stumbles back from the impact and she seems safe for now…
Gavin Kirkland: …AND SHE REPAYS GOLDWORTHY WITH A FOREARM SMASH! She drops him right down to the mat! She looks around the ring and sees NICK! She heads towards him and rocks him with a big uppercut…BUT NICK REPLIES WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! And now these are beginning an exchange of uppercuts, just hitting each other with everything they got but neither one is going down! This looks like one painful stalemate!
Persephone: Stalemate over. Two birds…one dropkick from Candice Blair that sends her opponents stumbling towards the ropes. AND SHE KNOCKS NICK RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE…but he manages to hold onto the ropes…barely avoiding elimination!
Stew-O: Candice Blair doesn’t see it though…thinking that she got herself an elimination! She heads over to Goldworthy and gets him with a massive kick to the spine! She then drags him back up to his feet and brings him over to the ropes! She tries to send him over now but he begins to fight back! He manages to shove her away…AND THEN CATCHES HER WITH A RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody Maverick now comes at him, lifting him up overhead and looking for a back suplex! But he is able to land on his feet behind Maverick! HE THEN GETS HIM WITH A RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP AND ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET! Goldworthy is cooking right now! He sees NICK trying to get back into the ring and looks for the elimination! SUPERKICK!
Persephone: That one misses though. Goldworthy’s leg goes in between the ropes as NICK gets back inside! While he’s trapped there, NICK lays into him with a blitzkrieg of body shots!
Stew-O: Goldworthy is leaned against the ropes now…and NICK wants that elimination! He runs the ropes and builds up some speed…HE GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK ON GOLDWORTHY! But he’s able to move out of the way in the nick of time…NICK GOES TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE…
Gavin Kirkland: But no! He stays alive once again and grabs onto Goldworthy! HE PULLS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE APRON! And now these two are trading blows out here…an extremely dangerous position for either one to be in!
Persephone: BUT GOLDWORTHY GETS HIM WITH THE SCORPION KICK! It looks like NICK is able to fall down here! Look at that shit-eating grin on Cosmo’s face as he realizes he could get rid of this guy right now. HE GRABS HIM FOR A URANAGE!
Stew-O: But his opponent elbows him in the side of the head…AND THEN GRABS HIM TIGHT! NICK WITH THE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX ONTO THE APRON! GOLDWORTHY IS LAUNCHED AND HE LANDS SPINE FIRST ON THE STEEL! He rolls off to the side and his feet hit the floor!
Bella Braxton: Cosmo Goldworthy has been eliminated!
Gavin Kirkland: And look at that! Goldworthy’s chance at that money is gone with a brutal elimination from NICK! And we head back to the other side of the ring…where Candice Blair is trying to eliminate Cody Maverick! SHE HAS HIM IN THE CORNER, TRYING TO THROW HIM OVER!
Stew-O: AND HERE COMES BOA TO SUPPORT IN THAT EFFORT! She grabs the other leg and tries to lift him up! BUT MAVERICK BOOTS BOTH OF THEM AWAY! He then scoops up Blair and does some spinning…BEFORE THROWING HER RIGHT INTO BOA! What a power move right there, two opponents taken down in a single stroke!
Persephone: But at that…NICK is now making his move. Damn, he takes Maverick off his feet with a double leg takedown! He then begins hammering away with right hands…BUT MAVERICK CATCHES THE ARM! He rolls NICK over and unleashes some of his own.
Gavin Kirkland: NICK is looking dominant right now…BUT BOA COMES FROM BEHIND! SHE DRAGS MAVERICK OFF OF NICK AND LIFTS HIM UP IN A DEADLIFT! SHE THEN LAUNCHES HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! That was an awesome display of power there! She took down Maverick and now she focuses on Candice Blair!
Stew-O: Look at her, stalking her prey…looking like an animal in the wilderness on the hunt! As Candice goes to get back up…BOA LAUNCHES HERSELF AT HER WITH THAT BATTERING RAM HEADBUTT! IT CONNECTS! IT CATCHES CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE CHIN! She then reaches down and grabs her by the stomach…SHE RISES HER UP INTO THE AIR WITH THE GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB!
Persephone: BUT CANDICE BLAIR IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A HURICARANA! As Boa rolls back to her feet…BLAIR TAKES HER DOWN WITH THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK! She takes her down with that spinning wheel kick and it seems like it might be lights out for Boa at the moment!
Gavin Kirkland: And now she’s trying to get her back up on her feet so she can eliminate her! But she’s having a hard time dragging her up…AND NOW MAVERICK COMES IN WITH A ROLLING ELBOW TO THE BACK OF BLAIR’S HEAD! He then sends her into the ropes with an irish whip…AND GETS HER OFF THE REBOUND WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM DUDE! Looks like Maverick is the only one standing right here…
Stew-O: BUT NICK FLYING BACK INTO THE FIGHT! HE GETS MAVERICK WITH THE BACKFIST! HE THEN PULLS HIM INTO THE CLINCH AND BEGINS DRILLING KNEES INTO HIS STOMACH! After softening him up with that flurry of blows…NICK tries for the exploder suplex…but Maverick shoves him away! NICK returns with a clothesline…but Maverick ducks underneath…and gets him with an inverted atomic drop…followed by the classic atomic drop!
Persephone: NICK collapses to the ground holding his jewels…and now Maverick is heading to keep piling on the pain towards his Candice Blair! He lifts her back up to her feet and gets her up onto his shoulders in a fireman’s carry position! HE HEADS OVER TO THE ROPES AND TRIES TO TOSS HER TO THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE SLIPS OFF THE SHOULDERS! SHE THEN TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A MASSIVE SAITO SUPLEX! What a move there from baby girl! She then punishes him further with a dropkick right to the side of the head while he’s down! Maverick rolls from the impact…all the way underneath that bottom rope dude! He can’t be eliminated like that! Candice decides to go for easier pickings instead! SHE ROCKS NICK WITH A MASSIVE FOREARM!
Stew-O: She looks for the Gold Rush! THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE MISSES AND NICK SHOVES HER INTO THE ROPES! HE GETS HER WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX OFF THE REBOUND! He then traps the arms of Candice while she’s on the ground! Looks like someone has some malicious intent here! HE THEN STOMPS RIGHT DOWN ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THE STOMP THE STUPID OUT!
Persephone: AND NOW BOA COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A BICYCLE KICK! She takes down NICK! Holy shit, everyone is down in this ring. And…she’s doing something pretty crazy all things considered…she’s climbing up onto the top rope!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN SHE COMES DOWN WITH THAT DIVING HEADBUTT! SHE HITS THE URSUS SHOCK ON NICK! That is definitely a risky move in this sort of environment but paid dividends there! NICK might have had his chest caved in from that impact! And now she drags him back up to his feet and brings him over to the ropes! We might see NICK go bye-bye here!
Stew-O: BUT NO! HE CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE ROPES! HE ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE YET! He tries to shove himself away…BUT BOA LAYS INTO HIM WITH FOREARMS! She just keeps rapidly firing them off, trying to do whatever she can to wear down her opponent! SHE THEN TRIES TO FLIP HIM OVER THE ROPES AGAIN! SHE DOES IT!
Persephone: But NICK, ever the survivalist, manages to grab onto the ropes! He stays alive here! This dude is like a cockroach tonight. BOA stays on him though, dragging him to a standing position and getting him with another forearm! He almost falls yet again…but why the fuck won’t he just let go?
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE LOOKS FOR ANOTHER BUT HE CATCHES THE ARM! HE THEN SMASHES HIS FOREHEAD INTO HER NOSE WITH A HEADBUTT! She goes reeling back and NICK climbs back inside the ring to safety! BOA RUSHES AT HIM ONCE AGAIN…BUT HE LIFTS HER UP AND DROPS HER ONTO THE ROPES WITH A FLAPJACK! SHE CRASHES DOWN ONTO THEM AND BOUNCES AWAY!
Stew-O: HE THEN GRABS HER BY THE LEGS AND FLIPS HER OVER THE TOP! SHE TRIES TO FIND HER FOOTING…BUT THE SPINBACK FINDS HER FIRST! That forearm smash does exactly what it needs to here! DOWN SHE GOES!
Bella Braxton: BOA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: AND WE ARE DOWN TO THE FINAL THREE COMPETITORS! What a showing from Candice who drops down and finally takes a breath! And look who else is in the final three! NICK is still in this thing! The rookie signed his EAW contract only about six weeks ago and he finds himself in the final three of the Extreme Enigma Memorial Battle Royal with a couple of eliminations to boot! He is now stepping up to Cody Maverick who is up to his feet now! NICK moves in quickly! Looking to get his momentum running!
Gavin Kirkland: NICK locks Cody up and throws some sharp knees with it as well! Right to the ribcage and trying to knock the wind out of him! And now he grabs Cody by the head and blasts him with forearms! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Cody’s head was snapping back with every shot! NICK! Shoves Cody into the ropes—
Persephone: NICK CATCHES CODY ON THE REBOUND! PUTS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! LOOKING FOR BITCH MADE! THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY WITH ELBOWS TO THE JAW! CODY MAVERICK ESCAPES! Cody drops down now to his feet! And he blasts NICK with a kick to the gut! SIN CITY STUNNER!!!!
Stew-O: NICK IS DOWN AND CODY IS TRYING TO GRAB HIM FOR THE ELIMINATION! Cody reaches and gets him by the head—
Gavin Kirkland: STARLIGHT!!! MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS JUST LEAPT IN HEROICALLY AND PLANTED CODY MAVERICK WITH A TORNADO DDT! Candice Blair now has both of her opponents down and she is going to win herself a brand new jewel in that crown of hers! She takes Cody by the head and wants to get him over the top rope! She pulls him into a front facelock! And now driving punches into the ribs of Cody Maverick as she pulls him back towards the ropes!
Stew-O: Candice Blair is pouring it on here and making the most of this opportunity! She’s got Cody Maverick dragged up by the head and backed into the ropes, and she’s throwing short shots to the body, trying to weaken him for that elimination!
Persephone: And she should get it as long as she isn’t a typical Ava bitch who goes on to fuck it up.
Gavin Kirkland: YOU DO NOT SPEAK OF EAW’S BEAUTIFUL ROYAL LINEAGE OF AVA QUEENS LIKE THAT! KEEP HITTING HIM PRINCESS! Candice tries to muscle Cody up and over the ropes, but Cody’s arms are wrapped tight around that top strand! He’s refusing to go! Cody swings back with a clubbing forearm to the side of Candice’s head! NO! STOP THAT!
Stew-O: That forearm forces Candice to stumble back a step, and Cody immediately fires another! And another! Candice tries to answer with a right hand of her own and now these two are trading shots in the center of the ring! Cody rocks her with a straight right, but Candice fires back with one of her own! Cody answers again! Candice stumbles— but she stays upright!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S GOING TO WIN! I BELIEVE! Candice rushes forward and grabs Cody around the waist! She’s trying to wrestle him back toward the ropes! Cody plants his feet and shoves her back! Candice nearly falls but she catches herself and swings! NO! CODY IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH!
Stew-O: Cody comes up behind her and locks his arms around Candice’s midsection! He’s trying to lift her and walk her toward the ropes now! Looking to take her out of the match! Candice is fighting back against it! She’s throwing back elbows, one after another, catching Cody in the side of the head!
Persephone: HAHA! Stupid bitch! Enjoy the bronze medal! Wait— she just threw a backwards kick and it managed to catch Cody in the stomach! Cody is fighting but he looks hurt now! Candice firing away with more kicks! Trying to tear her way free! AND SHE DROPS TO HER FEET! SHE PUTS ANOTHER KICK TO HIS STOMACH!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! RIGHT TO THE GUT! Candice follows with a forearm! And another! She’s backing Cody up again! The crowd is coming alive here as Candice Blair grabs Cody by the head and rams him back-first into the corner!
Stew-O: Candice is unloading now! Short strikes! Forearms! Cody is covering up but he’s getting overwhelmed! And this is where it gets dangerous! One false step could be the end for either of them! Candice pulls Cody out of the corner and shoves him toward the ropes again! She’s trying to finish this— BUT CODY DIGS IN HIS HEELS AND FIRES BACK WITH A HARD SHOT TO THE JAW!
Persephone: CANDICE IS STAGGERED!! AND CODY FOLLOWS IT UP! LOOKING TO ELIMINATE HER! CODY FLIES IN WITH A WILD CLOTHESLINE—
Gavin Kirkland: AND BOTH GO OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!
(…)
Stew-O: CANDICE AND CODY ARE BOTH ON THE APRON! CODY KEPT A GRIP ON THE TOP ROPE AND CANDICE JUST BARELY LANDS WITH HER HIP ON THE APRON! A PRECARIOUS POSITION FOR BOTH! Cody is on his feet and he grabs Candice by the shoulder! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Candice sways back! BUT RETURNS WITH A RIGHT HOOK! CODYS ’HEAD TURNS BUT HE STAYS UP!
Persephone: This could end quickly! Both are trading shots! But one of them needs to finish the other off sooner rather than later! Cody with a haymaker to the nose of Blair! And Candice— CANDICE WITH A KICK THAT DOUBLES CODY OVER! CANDICE RUSHES IN! CASTLES CRUMBLING ON THE APRON! CANADIAN DESTROYER!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO!!!! THAT DASTARDLY DEVIL TRICKED MY BELOVED PRINCESS! CANDICE GOES FOR THE CASTLES CRUMBLING BUT CODY STOPS THE MOMENTUM HALFWAY THROUGH!! HE HAS HER UP BY THE LEGS ON HIS SHOULDERS! CODY TURNS—
Stew-O: AN ALABAMA SLAM SENDS CANDICE CRASHING TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!!!
Bella Braxton: CANDICE BLAIR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Persephone: I always figured Candice would end up in some Alabama-style relationship with a man. This just isn’t how I saw it happening.
Gavin Kirkland: (sobbing) C…Candice is gone… no women left in the match… no reason to keep on going—
Persephone: Stop it. Stop it right the fuck now.
Gavin Kirkland: Persephone… I… I didn’t know you cared…
Persephone: Of course I care. If you get your creepy perv blood on my purse it voids the return policy.
Stew-O: Cody Maverick secures the elimination and is trying to steady himself— BUT NICK IS NOT GOING TO LET HIM! LOOK OUT CODY! FROM BEHIND! NICK WITH THE CHARGE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY SIDESTEPS! NICK GETS CAUGHT UP IN THE ROPES! AND CODY WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE FACE! THE ROOKIE ALMOST STOLE THE WHOLE DAMN MATCH! NICK is knocked back inside the ring and Cody steps quickly between the ropes to safety!
Persephone: NICK is the first to move though! He immediately presses Cody and doesn’t want to give up any room! He rushes in— BUT CODY SPINS THROUGH AND SENDS NICK CRASHING DIRECTLY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Stew-O: NICK collides with the corner and stumbles out— DIRECTLY INTO A KICK FROM CODY MAVERICK! SIN CITY STUNNER!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT WAIT! THE ROOKIE LEARNED FROM LAST TIME! SOON AS CODY WENT FOR THE STUNNER NICK TWISTED THROUGH AND PULLED CODY IN FOR A NECKBREAKER! AN INSANE SHOWING FOR THE NEWCOMER!
Stew-O: NICK now taking control of the situation and grabs Cody by the arms— STOMP THE STUPID OUT!! THE ARM TRAPPED STOMPS TO MAKE SURE CODY IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE! NICK DECIMATING CODY WITH EVERY CONNECTION BEFORE FINALLY LETTING GO!
(NICK takes a moment and pumps himself up to the camera, slapping his chest and yelling. The crowd responded, acknowledging the breakout showing by the young star. Some cheer, some boo in support of Cody, but no one is quiet.)
Stew-O: Listen to that reaction! But NICK better stay locked in if he wants to take things home! He grabs Cody by the arm— AND HOISTS HIM UP QUICKLY! BITCH MADE! THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER PLANTS CODY MAVERICK TO THE MAT! NICK IS GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING HOME!!
Gavin Kirkland: NICK IS FIRED UP! HE TURNS AND GRABS CODY BY THE ARM AGAIN! NICK IS SAVORING THE MOMENT BUT HE IS NOT DONE WITH CODY! NICK HOISTS CODY UP ONE MORE TIME ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! AND HAS HIM IN POSITION TO HIT BITCH MADE AGAIN! CODY IS OUT ON NICK’S SHOULDERS! NICK COULD GO FOR BITCH MADE AGAIN AND FINISH IT OFF!
Persephone: BUT LOOK! NICK IS WALKING OVER TO THE ROPES WITH CODY ON HIS SHOULDERS! HE IS GOING TO DUMP CODY OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH THE BITCH MADE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! THERE HE GOES—
Stew-O: NO!! CODY DROPS DOWN BEHIND NICK! NICK TURNS BACK TRYING TO HIT HIM AGAIN! BUT CODY CATCHES HIM! HALF NELSON GRIP! AND HE LIFTS! Cody could be— YES! CODY IS GONNA GO FOR THE HIGH ROLLER!!!
Persephone: But the weak ass bitch is stumbling! He just started falling backwards—
Gavin Kirkland: NOT STUMBLING! RUNNING! CODY USES THE COMBINATION OF THE MOMENTUM AND THE HIGH ROLLER POSITION TO TOSS NICK OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: HE DID IT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… NICK has been eliminated… therefore here is the winner of the 2025 Extreme Enigma Memorial Battle Royal… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR! CODDDDDDYYYYYYY MMMMAAAVVVEEERRRIIICCCKKKKKKKK!!!!
(“Kostas” by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, and Benny the Butcher hits the speakers as Cody drops to a knee, breathing heavily. He leans against the ropes in front of him even from a kneeling position, but a massive smile forms on his face. He looks up as he sees confetti fall from the ceiling and rain down onto him. Finally he pushes back to his feet and steps over as the referee raises his hand. In victory.)
Persephone: Haha! Imagine if this fucker had let some random kid come in and win a half a million dollar prize out from under him! I guess Cody escaped humiliation just barely!
Stew-O: It was a phenomenal outing from NICK who not only made it to the final two, but also got a couple of eliminations and Newark’s won the whole thing! But the flowers go now to Cody Maverick who takes home the prize!
(Bella Braxton climbs into the ring with a microphone. The production crew slides her something large covered by a velvet cloth.)
Bella Braxton: Cody! As the winner of this match, it is my privilege to award you now with your prize!
(Cody looks on as Bella removes the velvet cloth, revealing a gigantic check for $500,000. Cody smiles and shakes his head before picking up the check and holding it up for the crowd to see.)
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: A woman may not have won it and been enabled to be my new sugar mommy… but I can at least go on living knowing that with Cody being from Vegas… there’s a good chance the money ends up gonna to bitches and blow. As it deserves!
Persephone: …So anyway…
Stew-O: A massive win for Cody Maverick as we finish up the first half of the season! I can’t wait to see what he does with this as we head now into the road to Pain for Pride!
(Cody takes the check and climbs up the turnbuckles, holding it high for all to see. He lifts it up, and the camera gets a shot of him holding it against the sky as fireworks go off behind him.)
(Cody continues to celebrate as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Commercial speculating on the return of the Heart Break Boy. If Philip Rivers can do it, so can he.)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING IS A SINGLES MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Razorface” by Celldweller began blaring through the speakers to a loud mixed reaction as David Gideon Smith emerged from the darkness, surrounded by white strobes that follow the music. The Sovereign executes his Black Blade taunt, causing an eruption of pyrotechnics, before he clenches his fist and makes his way down the ramp towards the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, weighing in at 250 pounds… he is THE SOVEREIGN, DAAAAAAAAVID! GIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
Stew-O: This is a battle of the titans as two wrestlers that stand tall above most elitists will be clashing with each other in a singles match for the first time!
Flannery McCoy: It’s been a really hostile month between the two of them as David Gideon Smith, the Sovereign, made his intentions clear and that was that he intended to make a statement out of Methuselah!
Jake Mercer: This guy had the audacity to call the chairman of EAW washed really eloquently, and now he says he’s going to show Methuselah the power that exists beyond the walls of EAW! But Methuselah isn’t going to let him get away with it!
(“FINISH HIM” sounds over the speakers, and “Vent” by Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar plays over the arena speakers and smoke billows through the curtain while flames begin to pulsate from both sides of the stage. Methuselah walks through the fog with dark shades covering his eyes and he walks to the ring, up the steps, and does the “FINISH HIM” taunt on the apron before entering the ring. He removes his shades, glaring straight into the eyes of David Gideon Smith, before throwing up the double horns as his theme slowly fades.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from The Mount Adams Observatory™, weighing in at 17 stone, he is THE OVERMAN… METHUUUUUUUSELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! EEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEVAAAAAAAAAAAATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: The Chairman of EAW has looked down on David Gideon Smith since he became his target, calling him everything from an insect to a mosquito, but when he comes face to face with him, is he going to be able to back those words up?
Flannery McCoy: If anyone can, it may be Methuselah, one of the most legendary figures of this industry! But one look in David’s eyes shows that this match is just as likely to go the wrong way for the Chairman!
Jake Mercer: He’s here to show this ‘traveler’ that the Overman really is over, man!
Stew-O: Whether the menacing Sovereign is able to carve a war path directly to the top through Methuselah or whether Methuselah is able to recover from his recent marquee misfortunes, only one of these titans can make it out of the match with the victory! Who’s it going to be?! Who’s going to walk out of that ring with the win?! There’s only one way to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! David Gideon Smith versus Methuselah Elevation! The Sovereign versus the Overman in a clash that the EAW Universe has been anticipating ever since Methuselah was called out by the fearless Archdragon!
Flannery McCoy: There’s no height or weight advantage here, both of these wrestlers stand tall above most others with the muscles to match, these two are going to be able to let it all out as they fight for glory tonight!
Jake Mercer: They begin slowly circling each other, keeping their narrowed eyes locked on each other as they measure each other up! Are they talking?
Methuselah: O traveler, o misbegotten insect, pray tell… are you ready for it all to end?
DGS: Spare me the theatrics, Ryan. This starts on my terms.
Stew-O: OH, AND DAVID GIDEON SMITH LURCHES FORWARD, BREAKING THE CIRCLING! Methuselah barely gets a chance to react to the frightening speed of the titanic Sovereign as he makes contact, pulling Methuselah into an aggressive collar and elbow tie up, with David Gideon Smith immediately exerting pressure to push Methuselah back against the ropes! Methuselah suddenly gets hit with a heavy knee smash to the midsection… and another one! And yet another! David already taking control of this match from the start!
Flannery McCoy: The referee looks to pull David away because Methuselah is up against the ropes, but Methuselah suddenly roars at the referee, telling him to stay out of it! David Gideon Smith smirks as he executes an Irish whip against Methuselah Elevation, sending him running away from those ropes towards those on the opposite side of the ring!
Jake Mercer: Methuselah Elevation hits the ropes and rebounds, sprinting back towards David Gideon Smith with added velocity with David ready to intercept– OH, but Methuselah showing some impressive agility of his own as he quickly ducks and does a little drift as he turns and catches a hold of David Gideon Smith’s waist and applies a rear waist lock on the Sovereign!
Stew-O: Methuselah pushes David Gideon Smith right into the ropes using that rear waist lock, causing David to bounce off the ropes with his chest and stumble back, just for Methuselah to catch him on his way back with a sudden SPINNING BACK FIST, connecting right with the side of David Gideon Smith’s head!
Flannery McCoy: David was turned around, he didn’t get a chance to brace for that impact at all! That’s some cunning strategy from the Overman, who has made a legendary career out of wrestling expertise like that! But David Gideon Smith has built up one hell of a name in every promotion he’s fought in, the chairman better be careful because this isn’t some easy prey!
Jake Mercer: For now, though, Methuselah has David on the backfoot, and he’s able to follow up on the staggered David Gideon Smith as he turns him around and gives him a quick kick to the midsection to force him to double over, just for the Overman to apply a double underhook! This is it, classic Methuselah right here as he’s got him in the position for THE METH FX! AND SO IT BEGINS!
Stew-O: The Sovereign has been taken down to the canvas with a tremendous Meth FX, that butterfly suplex connecting as we’ve seen it connect a million times before with just as much of an impact as ever! Methuselah drops to a kneeling position and moves over to get into a front mount position over the Sovereign, utilizing his stature to keep David pinned to the canvas, albeit with his shoulder not all the way down on the mat to force a pin!
Flannery McCoy: David Gideon Smith is now being subjected to heavy handed strikes at the hands of the Chairman, Methuselah Elevation, who is sending down a barrage of closed fist punches and elbow smashes aimed straight for the head of the Sovereign! He’s looking to knock David Gideon Smith the hell out right here and now, not wanting this match to go any longer than it needs to!
Jake Mercer: David Gideon Smith is well versed in martial arts, though, and he’s blocking almost all of the strikes that Methuselah is sending his way! I’m rooting for Methuselah, but this is some really impressive work by David right here, and it’s actually getting Methuselah frustrated, almost none of his strikes are able to land even from that disadvantageous position!
Stew-O: Methuselah goes all out on one more elbow smash, putting all of his upper body weight behind it! BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE, BECAUSE DAVID GIDEON SMITH CAPITALIZES ON THAT WEIGHT SHIFT BY THRUSTING HIS OWN LEGS UP AND LAUNCHING METHUSELAH ELEVATION OFF OF HIM WITH A MONKEY FLIP, CAUSING THE CHAIRMAN TO LAND ON HIS BACK ONTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: I guess you can say Methuselah got Elevated!
Flannery McCoy: You need to stop.
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith has a menacing expression on his face as he rolls himself over, with Methuselah doing the same but with an angered expression on his face, almost looking indignant at the fact that David Gideon Smith managed to escape that conundrum with hardly a scratch on him! This is going to be a much tougher bout than Methuselah may have planned for, David Gideon Smith isn’t playing around tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Neither of these men are anywhere near down for the count, though, with both of them making their way back to their feet and effectively being back at square one! Methuselah is glaring at David Gideon Smith, who returns the gaze, and now it looks like both of them are going to engage a little more seriously after that first skirmish!
Jake Mercer: Another collar and elbow tie up right in the center of the ring, and this time they’re pushing against each other, locking into a stalemate in the center of the ring with neither of them able to get the other to stagger back! Sheer strength for sheer strength, they may be matched, and that says a lot about David Gideon Smith given the strength that Methuselah has used to terrorize the elitists under his employ!
Stew-O: Immediate standing switch by Methuselah Elevation who once again applies that rear waist lock, but this time he gets caught off guard with David Gideon Smith doing the exact same, executing his own standing switch to get behind Methuselah Elevation! Not only that, but he refuses to allow Methuselah to make another move, immediately plucking the chairman of EAW off of his feet and performing a rear waist takedown!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah has been brought back down to the canvas with David Gideon Smith shifting his position over near his head and applying a side headlock! But Methuselah Elevation slips out of the headlock as quickly as it got applied, grabbing a hold of David Gideon Smith’s wrist as he does and yanking it violently around and behind David Gideon Smith’s back for a hammerlock!
Jake Mercer: Methuselah once again trying to use his size to his advantage as he leverages his body over the back of David Gideon Smith and pushes down on the trapped arm in the hammerlock position in order to pin David down to the canvas and capitalize to damage his arm!
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith is stubbornly keeping one foot planted on the canvas at all times, though, not allowing Methuselah to force him chest first onto the canvas! Methuselah keeps trying, though, and perhaps exerting more energy than it’s worth with David’s foot not moving, and that bit of stillness allows David to fight back with two swift back elbows to the side of the chairman’s head, causing a bit of daze to enter the mind of Methuselah Elevation!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah grits his teeth with anger and suddenly plants BOTH of his feet on the canvas and quickly shifts back up to a standing position, keeping the wrist of David Gideon Smith tightly clutched as he does, which forces the Sovereign to get yanked up to a standing position in quite the uncomfortable manner!
Jake Mercer: It looks like the idea Methuselah had in mind was to twist the arm back to a normal position to be used for an arm drag! David Gideon Smith gets hurled down to the canvas by the arm, and Methuselah still doesn’t let go of the wrist as that happens! It turns out that may have been a mistake, though, because upon landing on the canvas, David Gideon Smith uses his own gripped arm to yank Methuselah in onto his shoulders in a kneeling fireman’s carry hold!
Stew-O: That kneeling fireman’s carry hold leads to a fireman’s carry takeover, with Methuselah getting flipped right onto his back by the Sovereign, who immediately reaches over to where Methuselah landed and applies a grounded inverted face lock onto the Chairman of EAW! Oh, and David is reaching for more of the limbs of Methuselah, looking to apply a twister lock with that dragon sleeper locked in?!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah suddenly grew erratic, frantically wriggling his body and arching his legs away as quickly as he could before barely managing to slip out of the dragon sleeper chokehold! It looks like despite all the talk of looking down on David Gideon Smith, Methuselah clearly had something very dangerous in David Gideon Smith’s vast arsenal scouted out because he was desperate to escape that!
Jake Mercer: David Gideon Smith suddenly gets a smirk on his face as he realizes as much as we did that Methuselah did his research heading into this match! That’s a vindication of the entire narrative against the Sovereign, but the quick return to that menacing glare brings it back to the fact that this match is far from over, and David is ready to put Methuselah through as much pain as necessary to bring about the demise of the Overman!
Stew-O: Methuselah may have escaped that dreaded hybrid hold, but that still put him in a vulnerable position that David Gideon Smith was able to capitalize on, as the Sovereign immediately reaches out and grabs a hold of the side of Methuselah’s head as he tried scrambling to a standing position!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah was forbidden from getting back to his feet right there as David Gideon Smith yanked him into a side headlock before spinning the chairman right back down to the canvas with a side headlock takedown! The battle goes right back down to the canvas, and David Gideon Smith continues his assault of the Overman as he unleashes an overhead chop right down to the back of Methuselah’s neck!
Jake Mercer: Smart move, with all of the hell that Methuselah’s head and neck have gone through over the years, that’s some well researched targeting right there! The Sovereign grabs a fistful of Methuselah’s hair and uses it to yank him to a kneeling position before immediately scrambling back to his own feet and making a sprint for the ropes!
Stew-O: He rebounds off the ropes and hurtles towards Methuselah with added velocity, kicking the HELL out of him with a penalty kick that sends Methuselah falling back to the canvas! David Gideon Smith immediately spins back around to face the fallen Overman before leaping up into the air and looking to drop down with a jumping knee drop aimed right for the head of Methuselah Elevation!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THE CHAIRMAN WAS ABLE TO EXECUTE A QUICK AND WELL TIMED DODGE! All of David’s own weight was invested into that knee drop, which ended up hitting the canvas, leaving David’s leg hurt! The Sovereign clutches at that knee of his while Methuselah, albeit with some pain apparent in his eyes, gets a smirk on his face as he staggers up as quickly as he can, outpacing David who was still nursing that hurt knee!
Jake Mercer: David did manage to get up, though, but by that point it was too late as Methuselah already began rushing forward to where the Sovereign was, immediately leaping forward and taking David Gideon Smith out with a jumping shoulder block! That sent David back to the canvas, but he was quickly able to scramble back to his feet… just for Methuselah to rebound off the ropes and topple him with another jumping shoulder block!
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith getting a taste of his own medicine as Methuselah’s well-timed evasion of that jumping knee drop followed by the consecutive jumping shoulder blocks is forcing David to get back to his feet again and again and again all with the pain building in that knee!
Flannery McCoy: David Gideon Smith gets back to his feet once again, but this time he did a quick backstep as he attempted to avoid what he thought was going to be yet another jumping shoulder block! It was a valiant attempt, but this little mental chess game played in Methuselah’s favor this time as he scouted David’s scouting and switched up real quick, instead going for a jumping back elbow that he put some more thrust behind to cover the extra distance!
Jake Mercer: Jumping back elbow does indeed connect right with the head of David Gideon Smith, who was toppled back to the canvas yet again! AND A KIP UP FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING! THAT’S MY GOAT! THAT’S MY GOAT! Who says he’s washed? Not me!
Stew-O: He may have been able to kip up, but that little stagger right afterwards shows that the brunt of this match is starting to take effect in Methuselah just as much as it is in David Gideon Smith! These two men have been giving it their all to beat the hell out of each other, and it’s WORKING against both of them!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah is breathing heavily as he trudges his way over to where David Gideon Smith is laid out, but before he can even make it to him, the Sovereign begins to stagger up of his own volition! The Overman’s expression remains unchanged, though, as he reaches down and helps David to his feet right before executing a sudden spinning backfist out of nowhere, causing David Gideon Smith to stagger back until his back is right up against the turnbuckles over in the nearby corner!
Jake Mercer: The Sovereign has been cornered by the Chairman of EAW who has begun assaulting him with a barrage of kicks to the midsection, holding the top rope for extra balance and leverage to put his all into each of those kicks! Once again the referee tries to step in because of the use of the ropes, but Methuselah tells him to fuck off!
Stew-O: Last time it was actually in David’s favor, and this time it’s in Methuselah’s! He’s just wanting this match to play out without the referee intervening unnecessarily, looking for a true test of might against the Archdragon, who has demonstrated quite a few displays of dominance in his short tenure here in Elite Answers Wrestling thus far!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah seems to have sufficiently dazed David Gideon Smith with all of the strikes that have landed in the past few minutes, and takes that as a cue to take things even further! He reaches down and grabs the legs of the Sovereign, forcing him up onto the top turnbuckle in a seated position before climbing the ropes to join David up top! This is a high risk high reward sort of situation with both men in a dangerous position when they’re up there alongside each other!
Jake Mercer: Dangerous positions is what Elite Answers Wrestling is all about, Flannery! This is what we’re here for! Methuselah lands a few punches to the roof of the head of the Sovereign to punch him into an even more dazed state before Methuselah throws the arm of David Gideon Smith over his shoulder! Oh god, he’s looking for one hell of a move based on that set up! What’s it going to be?!
Stew-O: HE’S LOOKING… FOR AN AVALANCHE FRANKENSTEINER! HE’S LOOKING TO DRIVE DAVID GIDEON SMITH’S HEAD INTO THE CANVAS FROM HIGH UP ON THE TOP ROPE, STRAIGHT UP! THIS IS GOING TO BE DISASTROUS FOR THE SOVEREIGN–
Flannery McCoy: BUT DAVID IS FIGHTING BACK! THOSE STRIKES WEREN’T ENOUGH TO DAZE HIM! HE’S LAYING IN SOME PUNCHES TO THE SIDE OF METHUSELAH, ATTACKING THAT RIB CAGE WITH SUCH PRECISION THAT IT FORCES METHUSELAH TO RELEASE DAVID’S ARM!
Jake Mercer: AND DAVID GIDEON SMITH ACTUALLY TAKES IT FURTHER, GRABBING A HOLD OF THE WRIST OF METHUSELAH IN A WRIST CLUTCH AND… OOOOOOOOOH MY GOD!
Stew-O: FLUX HARBINGER! THE FLUX HARBINGER CONNECTS! AVALANCHE WRIST-CLUTCH EXPLODER SUPLEX! THE CROWD ARE OFF THEIR FEET AS THESE TWO TITANS FALL FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND CRASH VIOLENTLY ONTO THE CANVAS, SHAKING THE RING WITH THE IMPACT!
Flannery McCoy: DAVID GIDEON SMITH IS HURTING BADLY TOO, BUT HE REACHES OVER AND GETS AN ARM ON TOP OF METHUSELAH AS THE REFEREE SLIDES IN FOR THE PINFALL!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT METHUSELAH ELEVATION IS STILL IN THE GAME! HE KICKED OUT OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Things are getting serious here as both wrestlers are in deep pain after that, with Methuselah taking the brunt of the damage as David Gideon Smith slammed him onto the canvas from up high with that devastating signature maneuver of his! David Gideon Smith is the first to start staggering up off of the canvas, grimacing as he does, but he looks around and sees Methuselah writhing in pain and smells blood like a shark in the water!
Jake Mercer: David Gideon Smith may be moments away from the biggest win of his EAW career thus far, all he needs to do to seal the deal is to take Methuselah Elevation down and close off this year with a tremendous victory over the chairman of the promotion he signed to earlier this year! Will he be able to do it?! Methuselah needs to get back up and avoid it!
Stew-O: Methuselah does start to stagger up, and David Gideon Smith is back on his feet waiting for him with a menacing, bloodthirsty expression plastered across his face! He’s looking to end the legend of Methuselah here tonight and elevate the legend of the Sovereign as he does it!
Flannery McCoy: The moment Methuselah gets back up to a standing position, he’s immediately met with a European uppercut that causes him to stagger back with his chin up, leaving his throat wide open for a follow up by the Archdragon… shotei throat thrust connects and leaves Methuselah completely disoriented! The ruthless David Gideon Smith not giving Methuselah even a moment of respite here!
Jake Mercer: A moment of respite may be what it takes for Methuselah to be able to get his head back in the game, so David is playing the smart game here as he gets right behind Methuselah and kneels down… before getting back up with Methuselah Elevation on his shoulders! Methuselah is getting elevated here as he’s in a dangerous position… the electric chair hold that we’ve seen David Gideon Smith use a few times over the course of this season, and we know what comes when he’s going for something like that!
Stew-O: HE’S GOING FOR THE ARCHDRAGON’S WRATH– BUT METHUSELAH HAD THAT MOVE SCOUTED AS WELL! HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT A THREAT DAVID WAS GOING TO BE, AND HE MANAGED TO SLIP HIS WAY RIGHT BEHIND DAVID BEFORE HE COULD BE DROPPED DOWN INTO THAT HIGH ANGLE DRAGON SUPLEX! HE AVERTED THE FATE OF RAVEN ROBERTS AND INSTEAD REACHED FORWARD AND GOT DAVID IN AN INVERTED FACELOCK OF HIS OWN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE’S NOT GOING FOR A DRAGON SLEEPER, HE IMMEDIATELY TWISTS HIMSELF OUT AND CONNECTS… WITH THE ROLLING DEMOLITION! IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE’VE SEEN THAT BUT THE SIGNATURE CUTTER MANEUVER OF METHUSELAH ELEVATION CONNECTS WITH A DISASTROUS IMPACT AS THE FACE OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH IS DRIVEN RUTHLESSLY INTO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH WASTES NO TIME AS HE HOOKS BOTH OF THE LEGS AS TIGHTLY AS HE CAN, LOOKING TO KEEP DAVID GIDEON SMITH DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: ARCHDRAGON IS STILL IN THIS! HE’S NOT GOING TO LET IT GO! METHUSELAH SLAPS THE MAT WITH FRUSTRATION BEFORE POINTING AT THE REFEREE, BARKING AT HIM FOR NOT COUNTING AT THE RIGHT SPEED! I DON’T THINK THE REFEREE COUNTED ANY WAY OTHER THAN HE ALWAYS DOES, BUT IT MAY BE THE PRESSURE OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH’S THREAT BEGINNING TO WEIGH DOWN ON HIM!
Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH IMMEDIATELY FORCES HIS WAY BACK TO A STANDING POSITION, STAGGERING ACROSS THE LENGTH OF THE RING AFTERWARDS AS HE’S LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO THE TALE OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES FOR HIM TO GET THE JOB DONE!
Jake Mercer: And now he waits! Measuring the Archdragon up with a deep glare in his eyes, ready to strike the moment David Gideon Smith gets back to his feet! Sure enough, the Sovereign slowly staggers up to a standing position, with his eyes quickly flitting over to where Methuselah was crouched just as the chairman bursts out of the corner with as much speed as he can muster, LOOKING TO PIERCE RIGHT THROUGH DAVID GIDEON SMITH WITH A SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?! METEOR INFRA! METEOR INFRA! THE MASSIVE DAVID GIDEON SMITH JUST LEAPT UP INTO THE AIR AND DOUBLE FOOT STOMPED THE CHAIRMAN OF EAW AS A COUNTER TO THE SPEAR! METHUSELAH JUST GOT FLATTENED, BUT DAVID JUST TWEAKED THAT KNEE THAT HE HURT EARLIER IN THIS MATCH! IT’S ALL DAVID CAN DO TO DESPERATELY ROLL METHUSELAH OVER!
Flannery McCoy: HE DOES IT! HE GETS METHUSELAH OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG, GRITTING HIS TEETH WITH ANTICIPATION AS THE REFEREE GOES IN FOR THE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: BUT METHUSELAH GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE AT THE VERY LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT! DAVID GIDEON SMITH IS BESIDE HIMSELF! THE PAIN IN HIS KNEE DISTRACTED HIM FROM THE PROXIMITY TO THE ROPES! THE COLD EXTERIOR OF BOTH MEN HAS MELTED FROM THE HEAT OF THIS MATCH, AND THEY’RE BOTH JUST AS DESPERATE AS THE OTHER TO KEEP THE OTHER MAN FOR THE THREE COUNT!
Stew-O: BUT NEITHER OF THEM ARE WILLING TO TAKE THE FALL! THEY BOTH KEEP MAKING THE MATCH GO ON, EVEN AS THEIR OWN HEALTH DETERIORATES BY THE SECOND! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR EITHER OF THESE TITANS TO STAY DOWN FOR THE COUNT?!
Flannery McCoy: Even after kicking out, Methuselah is barely able to move a muscle, and David isn’t in much better condition either! It’s all that he can do to peel himself off the canvas using the ropes for leverage, the very ropes that allowed Methuselah to stay in this match!
Jake Mercer: He leans on those ropes, trying to recuperate as much as he can to be able to do anything else, and that gives some time to Methuselah as well… but at this point, he has to let it happen!
Stew-O: Finally, David staggers forward towards Methuelah, who has gotten to a kneeling position, before tucking his head underneath the Archdragon’s arm… what’s he planning?! A VERTICAL SUPLEX LIFT! DAVID IS GRITTING HIS TEETH IN PAIN AS HE TRIES TO ENDURE IT TO PUT METHUSELAH DOWN FOR GOOD! HE IS TRYING TO ELEVATE METHUSELAH EVEN HIGHER… SOVEREIGN! HE GOES TO TRANSITION INTO THE GANSO BOMB!
Flannery McCoy: NOOO! MK DRIVER! METHUSELAH MANAGED TO DROP OUT OF THAT ELEVATED SUPLEX LIFT AND DRIVE THE HEAD OF THE SOVEREIGN INTO THE CANVAS, CAUSING THE RING TO SHAKE! ITS OVER! HE HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“FINISH HIM” sounds over the speakers, and “Vent” by Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar plays over the arena speakers once again to a huge reaction! Methuselah staggers up to his feet using the ropes for leverage before having his hand raised in pain!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… METHUUUUSELAAAAAAAAH! EEEEELEEWEEVAAAAATIOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: A truly commendable performance by both men who left it all in the ring, this was a normal singles match but the bloodlust may as well have made this a death match in spirit!
Flannery McCoy: David really proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with going up against someone as fearsome as Methuselah!
Jake Mercer: But at the end of the day, the chairman picks up a huge win and gets out of his marquee misfortune spree with a big win here at Road to Redemption! CONGRATS TO THE OVERMAN!
(A commercial plays for It: Welcome to Derry, featuring Caroline.)
(The graphic for the next match appears.)
(The camera shot returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing front and center as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Meet the Grahams” by Kendrick Lamar starts to play as the crowd immediately starts to boo loudly as Jake Smith enters the arena feeling as confident as ever. Following closely behind is Caroline. They look at each other before they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his to the ring! Representing Figura Prismatis and being accompanied to the ring by Caroline. From Parts Unknown! Here is “THE GOAT” JAKE SMITH!!
Deadprez: Here comes Jake Smith heading to the ring with Caroline by his side as he looks so confident that it is crossing into arrogance territory as he once again wants to prove his GOAT status in EAW.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t blame him, especially with the beautiful Caroline by his side. Thanks to their collaborative efforts, Caroline and Jake have put Joso down two weeks in a row. Will it be three after this match?
Eve: Even though Jake is very egotistical, there’s a reason why Jake is a Hall of Famer. Will it be that experience edge and his nature to use underhanded tactics to get what he wants. The question is will it come back to haunt him?
(Jake enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as Caroline takes her place at ringside. Seconds later, Jake’s music is replaced by ‘LIKE WEEZY’ by Playboi Carti and the crowd starts going absolutely crazy for the appearance of Joso. Joso does NOT look amused as he heads right to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! From The Bronx, New York. Weighing 206 pounds! Here is “THE STAR PLAYER” JOSO!!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE! COMES! JOSO! The crowd is going crazy for this former World Champion and he is heading to the ring with a purpose.
Eve: Joso has been left down and out two weeks in a row by Jake Smith and thanks to interference by Caroline. He is ready to tear Jake apart.
Deadprez: There is fire in his eyes and payback on his mind, dawg. He does not want to wait at all. Both these men want to be the one who leads Showdown into the future. Who is going to spearhead that movement? We’re about to find out!
(Joso slides into the ring and he immediately makes a beeline for Jake as the referee puts themself in between an angry Joso and an egotistical Jake. The referee is telling Joso to back up towards the corner as they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! This match is underway AND JOSO ISN’T WASTING A SECOND AS HE BREAKS AWAY FROM THE REFEREE AND GOES RIGHT TO JAKE SMITH!
Deadprez: Joso with a double leg takedown AND HE IS JUST PUNCHING THE EVER LOVING HELL OUT OF JAKE RIGHT NOW, DAWG!! KNUCKLES AGAINST THE SKULL!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is already being put to work as they are trying to pull Joso away from Jake so he doesn’t bash Jake’s precious skull in.
Deadprez: The referee manages to get Joso off of Jake BUT HE GOES RIGHT BACK TO JAKE AND IS AGAIN PUNCHING THE HELL OUT OF HIM!
Eve: The referee is trying to give a little leeway in this match considering the event, but they have no choice right now but to start a count to force Joso to open the fists.
Gavin Kirkland: The referee reaches four and Joso stops before being disqualified! THAT’S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN! THAT’S A MILLION DOLLAR FACE YOU’RE TRYING TO PUNCH OUT JOSO!
Eve: Million dollar face? Along with his ten cent personality. Jake is trying to roll away as he gets to the ropes and Joso is right on his trail–
Deadprez: JAKE WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! HELL, THAT KICK LOOKED A LITTLE LOW DAWG! Jake might have just got away with a sneaky low blow there.
Gavin Kirkland: Think smarter not harder.
Eve: Jake doesn’t think at all!! Jake is back on his feet as he grabs Joso by the head BEFORE TAKING HIM UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! JAKE FLOATS OVER FOR THE COVER–
Deadprez: JOSO BRIDGES UP TO PREVENT A COVER, BUT JAKE DELIVERS AN ELBOW STRIKE TO THE THROAT! GOOD GAWD, DAWG!!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s Jake for you! Always thinking one step ahead of his competition with maneuvers like that! Now Jake is returning the favor from what Joso did during the opening bell BY DRIVING HIS ELBOW AGAIN INTO JOSO’S THROAT!!
Deadprez: OH COME ON!! THAT’S AN ILLEGAL CHOKE! DON’T TELL ME THAT YOU CAN’T SEE THAT REF!!
Eve: The referee does catch the choke and is telling Jake to remove his elbow out of Joso’s windpipe before starting a count.
Gavin Kirkland: The referee started a count and Jake moved his elbow on three. See!! He broke on three! Isn’t he such a good guy?
Eve: Oh yes! The little bastard is such a good guy.
Deadprez: Joso is sputtering and trying to catch his breath after being choked out by Jake’s bony elbow AS JAKE SLAPS JOSO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is just showing Joso who the top star of Showdown is. Nothing wrong with that.
Eve: Jake pulls Joso back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Joso comes back off the rebound as Jake hits the ropes off the other side AND JAKE TAKES JOSO DOWN WITH THE RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE!
Deadprez: Jake once again pulls Joso back up and grabs him by the head to try and take him down for a neckbreaker—
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO IS ABLE TO CHANGE THE MOMENTUM AND COUNTER THE NECKBREAKER INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWW–
Deadprez: JAKE KICKS OUT AT ONE!! Jake is back up first as he tries a right hand on Joso, BUT JOSO DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY!
Eve: Joso is behind Jake as he applies the half nelson AND LIFTS JAKE UP BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH A HALF NELSON SUPLEX AS JOSO BRIDGES UP FOR ANOTHER PIN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: Jake kicks out at one again! See how resilient Jake is kicking out so quickly. That’s the face and endurance of the Future of Showdown.
Eve: That’s a face only a mother could love… but I don’t know if Jake’s mother does.
Deadprez: Joso is putting the boots to Jake as Jake rolls his way over to the ropes and onto the apron. Joso wants to beat the hell out of Jake, but the referee is pushing him back.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right! Keep that madman away from Jake. Can you imagine how many magazine covers Jake will lose if Joso keeps hitting him in the face?
Eve: Yeah. None. Because Jake didn’t have any to begin with.
Deadprez: Jake is back on his feet as the referee keeps Joso back, BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO BREAK FREE AND RUN RIGHT BACK TO JAKE! JAKE HAD HIS BACK TURNED TO THE RING AS HE WAS TALKING TO THE CROWD–
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE THROUGH THE ROPES SENDING JAKE FLYING AS HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE SMACKS OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!! HOW DISRESPECTFUL!
Deadprez: Caroline is keeping her distance for once as she watches everything unfold because she knows Joso is on to her schtick. Jake is starting to get back to his feet as Joso hits the ropes on the far side.
Eve: Joso running back with amazing speed as HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE ROPES AND TAKES JAKE BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH A BEAUTIFUL SUICIDE DIVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, the back of Jake’s head hit our table again. He is going to get a concussion or something. I don’t like how Jake is being treated in this match.
Eve: The crowd has a differing opinion as they are going crazy for Joso as he gets back to his feet. He turns and sees Caroline before telling her to back off. Again, Caroline is keeping her distance. Still don’t trust her, though.
Deadprez: Nobody does, dawg. Joso grabs Jake by the hair in a show of disrespect as he drags Jake towards the ring steps AND JUST SMASHES HIS FACE INTO THE STEPS! OVER AND OVER AND OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: The thuds of Jake’s skull hitting the ringpost is going to make me sick. How dare Joso try to rearrange Jake’s face like that. How bitter can one person be?
Eve: After hearing that, I wonder how stupid one person can be.
Deadprez: Meanwhile, the referee has been counting both men out. The referee reaches eight and Joso quickly rolls Jake back in the ring before following suit. Jake is trying to recover as he pushes up onto his knees–
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no!! Joso hits the ropes and IS LOOKING FOR THE CURB STOMP, BUT JAKE GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! WHEW!
Deadprez: Joso found nothing but the mat. I don’t know if he landed funny or not, BUT JAKES SNEAKS IN WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE!
Eve: Joso starts to stumble forward as Jake grabs him around the waist and lifts him up in the air in the powerbomb position. JAKE RUNS JOSO TOWARDS THE CORNER–
Gavin Kirkland: BUCKLE BOMB BY JAKE SMITH AS JOSO’S HEAD CRACKS THE TURNBUCKLE!! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET!!
Eve: Joso manages to stay on his feet as he stumbles out of the corner as Jake grabs him around the neck once again AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE NECKBREAKER! JAKE PULLS JOSO AWAY FROM THE CORNER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
T–
Deadprez: JOSO KICKS OUT AT TWO! Jake doesn’t waste a second as he pulls Joso up AND SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT! Jake drags Joso back towards the corner and decides it’s time to climb to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh this is going to be a thing of beauty. I just know it is. Jake is on the top rope and he has his balance as he waits for Joso to get back to his feet, which Joso is slowly doing.
Eve: Jake is taking a moment to showboat to the crowd as Joso makes it back to his feet. Joso turns around AND JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: JAKE WENT FOR THE CROSSBODY AND HE HIT IT! DIRECT HIT AND JOSO IS DOWN AS JAKE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! JOSO WAS ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM IN HIS FAVOR AND ROLL THROUGH AND REVERSE THE PIN! NOW JAKE IS DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Jake gets his shoulder up at two, BUT LOOK AT JOSO!! JOSO SIMPLY PICKS JAKE UP AND JOSO IS BACK TO HIS FEET WHILE LIFTING JAKE AS WELL! WHAT POWER BY JOSO!
Eve: Now Joso has Jake on his shoulders as he has Jake in position FOR THE MILITARY PRESS! JOSO HAS JAKE LIFTED OVER HIS HEAD!! HOLY CRAP WHAT POWER!!
Gavin Kirkland: What the hell does Joso think he’s doing? Put him down! PUT HIM DOWN!! HOW IN THE HELL IS HE ABLE TO DO THAT AFTER BEING OUT OF ACTION FOR SO LONG!!
Eve: Looks can be deceiving and you know that, Gavin. I give Joso a lot of credit for pulling that off even as he gets his sea legs back. Anyways, I think you got your wish as he starts to let Jake fall to the mat–
Deadprez: JOSO JUST CAUGHT JAKE IN THE JAW WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AS JAKE WAS FALLING! SOMETHING WENT FLYING IN THE AIR! WAS THAT ONE OF JAKE’S TEETH, DAWG?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh if Joso knocked one of Jake’s teeth out I hope that Jake sues him for defacing a national treasure.
Eve: Yeah. I hope Joso does it again as he rolls Jake over and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: JAKE KICKS OUT AT TWO!! Jake looks a little dazed after that uppercut, but Joso still has control as Joso is back on his feet and pulls Jake up as well.
Gavin Kirkland: Joso has Jake in the gutwrench AS HE LIFTS HIM UP TO GET HIM INTO PO- NO! PUT HIM DOWN! NO SPIKE PILEDRIVERS!!
Deadprez: Well the crowd wants to see a piledriver and that’s exactly what Joso is going to give them. Joso is trying to get Jake up for the Spike Piledriver, BUT JAKE IS FIGHTING BACK!
Eve: Jake is trying to change momentum in his favor as he is kicking his legs to get back to the mat which he does BEFORE LIFTING JOSO UP AND COUNTERING WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: WHEW!! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE! Nobody wants to see Jake dropped on his head.
Eve: Are you sure about that?
Deadprez: Either way, both men are down but Joso is the first man back to his feet as he goes to bring Jake back up as well–
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE WITH A HEADBUTT RIGHT IN THE FACE! SKULLS CRACKING AS JOSO STAGGERS BACK HOLDING HIS FACE AS JAKE DELIVERS A BIG BOOT!! JOSO IS DOWN AND JAKE STARTS THROWING FISTS INTO JOSO’S SKULL! TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY!!
Eve: The referee is now telling Jake to open up the fists. Again, the referee is showing a lot of leeway in this match before that can only go so far.
Deadprez: I guess it’s gone too far because the referee is now starting a count on Jake and Jake opens the fist on four to prevent disqualification on five.
Gavin Kirkland: What did I tell you? Jake always follows the rules. He is the ideal Elitist.
Deadprez: Gavin, have you been drinking again, dawg?
Eve: No. He’s just that delusional and stupid.
Gavin Kirkland: I am none of the above thank you very much. Right now, Jake is in firm control of the match as he brings Joso into a seated position before applying the headlock and slowing the pace of the match down.
Eve: We can also see the damage Jake’s headbutt from before did as Joso is bleeding pretty decently from the nose. That could cause some trouble in the long term of this match if his eyes start to water.
Deadprez: Now, Jake is wrestling his sort of match as the headlock is being used just to torture Joso as the referee is right there to see if by random chance that Joso wants to give up this match.
Gavin Kirkland: If Joso had any brains left in his head, he should give it up right now and save as much face as he possibly can. There is no shame in losing to Jake Smith. Jake is THE GOAT!! THE FUTURE OF SHOWDOWN!!
Eve: If you don’t stop shouting, your future is looking very bleak. There is no chance in hell that Joso is going to submit to a headlock, much less a Jake Smith headlock. It’s more likely that Joso would pass out because of overexposure to all the chemicals in Jake’s haircare products.
Deadprez: Jake is really putting a lot of pressure around Joso’s neck. Joso just wiped at his nose and he sees the blood AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE A SHOT OF ADRENALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHO IN THE HELL HIT THE RESET BUTTON ON JOSO?!?!
Deadprez: Joso is starting to fight back! Joso is fighting his way back to his feet, but Jake still has the headlock applied.
Eve: For someone like Joso who has been out of action for a few months, you would expect to see more ring rust than we have, but honestly Joso is doing an amazing job thus far.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah yeah but this match is not over yet. Joso is back to his feet AND HE STARTS THROWING ELBOWS INTO JAKE’S MIDSECTION TO FINALLY GET FREE OF THE HEADLOCK–
Eve: AND JAKE GRABS JOSO BY THE EARS AND JUST PULLS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!! OH THAT WAS CHEAP AND THE NEW ORLEANS CROWD AGREES WITH ME!
Deadprez: The crowd didn’t like that one bit and Jake takes a small bow to the crowd which only gets them even more aggravated at Jake.
Gavin Kirkland: They are all just jealous. Simple as that. They hate him because they aren’t him.
Eve: Please just shut up. Anyways Jake pulls Joso back to his feet and gets Joso in position for a Northern Lights Suplex, BUT JOSO IS BLOCKING IT!
Deadprez: Jake throws a few elbows into Joso’s ribs to stop his attack and it seems to work as JAKE GOES FOR THE SUPLEX BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO COUNTER!
Gavin Kirkland: BAHAHAHAHA! He tries to land on his feet but he loses his balance and falls to his knees. Jake takes complete advantage AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF JOSO’S HEAD!
Deadprez: Joso is down for the moment as Jake rolls him over and grabs his legs before turning him back around AND INTO THE CLOVERLEAF! SUBMISSION APPLIED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
Eve: I hate to give Jake any sort of credit–
Gavin Kirkland: But it sounds like you are about to.
Eve: Please shut the fuck up. But I do give credit to Jake for perhaps picking the best move given the situation because the cloverleaf does damage to the back which could affect his power moves as well as any of his high flying moves.
Deadprez: The referee is once again checking to see if Joso wants to give up right here. If he does, Jake wins this match.
Gavin Kirkland: Joso is being stubborn and he should just give it up right now and prevent any further injury unless he wants his return to be one of the shortest in EAW history.
Eve: Jake has that submission in tight AND HE IS STEPPING FURTHER BACK!! JAKE IS NOW PUTTING MORE PRESSURE ON JOSO’S LOWER BACK AND PUTTING HIM IN FURTHER PAIN!
Deadprez: Joso is trying to do whatever he can to either get himself free or make it to the ropes. But he needs to think of a way free now, dawg or this could really ruin his arsenal.
Gavin Kirkland: Do you think he can? Remember this is his first match since Territorial Invasion. Who knows how much ring time he has had from then until now. From the looks of things, not very much!
Deadprez: LOOK AT JOSO! JOSO IS STARTING TO PULL HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES! HE IS DRAGGING HIMSELF AND JAKE TOWARDS THE ROPES! JAKE IS SHOCKED THAT IT’S HAPPENING!
Eve: LOOK AT THE DETERMINATION ON JOSO’S FACE! LISTEN TO THE CROWD CHEERING JOSO ON AS HE IS ONLY A FINGERTIP AWAY FROM THE ROPES–
Gavin Kirkland: AND JAKE PULLS HIM RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND THE CROWD IS BOOING HIM OUT OF THE BUILDING! I LOVE IT!! THIS IS WHERE THE RUST IS REALLY STARTING TO SHOW!
Eve: Oh you are so full of crap, you know that right? Please just stop fucking talking.
Deadprez: As we get back to the match, JOSO HAS HIS HAND UP! HE COULD TAP HERE! HE COULD SUBMIT RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: All he has to do is tap out and all this pain and torture would just disappear. It isn’t that hard of a decision.
Eve: Yeah because Joso wants to tap out to a Jake Smith submission and then we’d all be forced to listen to Jake bragging about winning and being the best ever. What would be ripped out first? Our ears or his voicebox?
Deadprez: LOOK AT JOSO! INSTEAD OF DRAGGING HIMSELF TO THE ROPES, HE IS PUSHING HIMSELF UP BEFORE ROLLING FORWARD! NOW JOSO IS ON HIS BACK, BUT JAKE STILL HAS HIS LEGS–
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO USES HIS ARMS AGAIN TO PUSH HIMSELF INTO THE AIR! HOW IN THE HELL DID HE MANAGE TO DO THAT? THAT CAN’T BE REAL!
Deadprez: Oh, but it was, dawg! Jake still has hold of Joso’s legs, but he is able to transition it to grab onto Joso’s waist, BUT JOSO IS TRYING TO KICK FREE!
Eve: Joso is able to grab Jake’s head and spins out BEFORE BRINGING JAKE DOWN AND PLANTING HIM WITH A MODIFIED IMPALER DDT!! DON’T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN FROM JOSO!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s because Joso was cheating and choking him out, but Joso rolls Jake over and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHH–
Eve: JAKE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Jake rolls over BUT JOSO GRABS JAKE AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE DEADLIFTING JAKE UP IN THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Jake was turned inside out off the suplex as Joso gets back on his feet AND HE CATCHES JAKE RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A BEAUTIFUL ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: What’s even more beautiful is the fact that Jake had the awareness to roll out of the ring and compose himself on the floor. Always thinking one step ahead. That’s why Jake is a Hall of Famer.
Eve: No comment.
Deadprez: Call it what you want, but Joso is walking over to the ropes as he gets on the apron to get Jake back in the ring–
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE WITH A LEG SWEEP AND JOSO’S HEAD AND BACK CRACK THE EDGE OF THE APRON! Everybody likes to say that Joso doesn’t miss, but he sure as hell has been missing a lot in this match.
Deadprez: I give you a week before you start kissing Joso’s ass again, dawg.
Eve: Meanwhile, Jake pulls Joso back to his feet before lifting him up and balancing him on the top rope. Now Jake is carefully balancing on the bottom rope. This does not look good.
Gavin Kirkland: You’re right because it will be a thing of beauty if Jake hits this. Jake has Joso BEFORE STEPPING OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE–
Eve: AND HITTING JOSO WITH THE PILEDRIVER! GIVE THE ROPES THE ASSIST ON THAT AND JOSO’S HEAD WAS SPIKED INTO THE MAT!! THAT WAS A HORRIBLE LANDING!
Deadprez: I think Jake is wanting to go further than winning. He wants to put Joso in the hospital and out of Showdown for good. Joso is not moving right now as Jake goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID JOSO KICK OUT AFTER THE PILEDRIVER! THAT HAD TO BE A SLOW COUNT! COME ON REFEREE! STOP BEING BIASED!
Eve: If you knew how close I am to punching your lights out, you would stop being so damn stupid!!
Deadprez: Jake thought that he had it there and he does not look amused right now. Hell even Caroline has a scowl on her face seeing that Joso is still alive in this match.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, barely.
Deadprez: Now this is where Jake is starting to get more confident because he thinks that he has Joso on the ropes. Jake is back on his feet and he brings the barely moving Joso back up as well.
Eve: Joso could be in Dreamland right now as Jake whips him to the ropes. Joso comes back off the rebound AS JAKE LIFTS HIM IN THE AIR FOR THE “LAST SEDATION”–
Gavin Kirkland: DAMN! Joso is able to get free and land on his feet before kicking Jake in the gut. That looked too low. DISQUALIFY JOSO, REF!! HE’S CHEATING!
Eve: And you’re an idiot! Joso grabs Jake by the head and lifts him into the air for a suplex-
Deadprez: BUT JOSO QUICKLY TRANSITIONS IT INTO A CUTTER! “EXECUTIONER FROM HELL” PLANTS JAKE FACE FIRST! JOSO FALLS TO HIS KNEES AS HE MOVES OVER TO JAKE AND ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! AS EXPECTED JAKE KICKED OUT AND JOSO ISN’T HAPPY ABOUT IT! HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT THERE BUT THIS MATCH GOES ON!! WOOHOO!
Eve: BUT JOSO DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND AS HE TRANSITIONS RIGHT INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE!! JOSO WITH A SUBMISSION OF HIS OWN TRYING TO CHOKE OUT JAKE SMITH!
Deadprez: The question is how long can Joso hold the submission considering how long he was in Jake’s submission earlier in the match. Joso’s back has got to be in pain right now, but he is gutting out an amazing performance so far in his first match back since Territorial Invasion.
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is right there checking to see if Jake wants to give it up here, but look at Jake being the fighter that he is refusing to submit. What a resilient competitor Jake is.
Deadprez: And what a giant ass kisser you are, dawg. Jake is flailing about as Caroline watches on from ringside and nobody knows what the hell is going on in her head.
Eve: Nobody knows. BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO GET IN POSITION AND FLIP FORWARD AND COUNTER THE TRIANGLE CHOKE INTO A MODIFIED JACKKNIFE PIN! JOSO’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO KICKED OUT AT TWO! He had no choice otherwise he would have lost the match. Unfortunately, Joso had to let the Triangle Choke go. Great strategy by Jake Smith.
Eve: Both men are down at the moment and the referee checks on both competitors before having no choice but to start their ten count.
Deadprez: Jake is recovering from the Triangle Choke while the lack of ring time the last two months looks to possibly be catching up to Joso right now. The question is which competitor is going to get back to their feet first.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s going to be Jake. You know the one who has been consistently wrestling the last few months. His stamina levels are as high as ever while Joso is still getting back in the swing of things.
Eve: That is a very egotistical response, but Jake somehow is the first to get back to his feet as he grabs Joso and whips him to the corner. Jake follows up by running to the corner AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE–
Deadprez: JOSO DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY AND JAKE MUST HAVE FELT THAT WAS COMING AS HE JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND KICKING JOSO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A BIG BOOT!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake grabs Joso by the back of the head before Joso could hit the mat. Jake turns Joso around and has him in position for the “Hell Above”! JAKE IS GOING TO FINISH THIS WITH ANOTHER PILEDRIVER–
Deadprez: JOSO IS ABLE TO GET FREE AND HE COUNTERS WITH A SUPERKICK TO JAKE’S JAW!! DIRECT HIT TO THE JAW AS JAKE STARTS TO FALL OFF THE SECOND ROPE–
Eve: Joso grabs hold of him and now Jake is upside down as Joso brings Jake to the center of the ring as he has Jake in position for “Crimson Peak” –
Gavin Kirkland: OH YEAH!! Jake is able to change the momentum in his favor as he falls back AND COUNTERS INTO A MODIFIED JAWBREAKER!! Joso was forced to let Jake go and now Jake has hold of Joso by the neck.
Eve: Jake has Joso in position for “Prophetic” AND JAKE GOES FOR THE CUTTER, BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO GET FREE AND COUNTERS WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE!
Deadprez: Jake was dazed off of that kick as Joso backs up and hits the ropes. Joso comes back off the rebound as he runs right back to Jake–
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE CATCHES HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR AND DRIVES JOSO DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE “LAST SEDATION” POWERBOMB! JOSO LANDS HARD ON THE MAT AND JAKE STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER! THIS IS IT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Eve: JOSO KICKED OUT!! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL FOR JAKE SMITH AND JAKE IS NOT HAPPY ONE BIT AS HE STARTS POUNDING THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION!
Deadprez: Jake is throwing a temper tantrum in the ring because he hasn’t been able to put away Joso but what a match this has been between these two competitors. These two are just beating the hell out of each other.
Gavin Kirkland: The longer this match goes, the better the chance of Jake winning this match. The writing is on the wall and the referee should just raise Jake’s hand now.
Deadprez: You have been annoying this entire match riding on Jake so badly.
Eve: You can say that again.
Gavin Kirkland: Enough picking on me. Now we can see Jake dropping down to the mat as he is focused on Joso. Jake is done. He is ready to finish this match once and for all and I think he will.
Eve: Jake is laser focused on Joso as he calls for Joso to get back to his feet. Joso is starting to get back on his feet as Jake is slowly waiting.
Deadprez: Joso is in a mess of trouble as he is able to push himself up on his feet. He turns around–
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE JUMPS UP AND GRABS JOSO BY THE HEAD AND GOES FOR THE “STARMAKER”! CUTTER ON THE WAY–
Eve: JOSO SHOVES JAKE OFF OF HIM BUT JAKE LANDS ON HIS FEET, BUT JOSO GRABS JAKE BY THE SHOULDERS AND PULLS HIM DOWN INTO THE BACKSTABBER!! GREAT COUNTER BY JOSO!!
Deadprez: Jake is down on the mat as Joso pulls Jake back to his feet before lifting him up in the air. I think Joso is setting Jake up for the Package Piledriver!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s what he calls “Heaven’s Gate”, but with all the back damage, will he be able to keep Jake in the air long enough to hit the move?
Deadprez: Well, we are about to find out because he has Jake in position for the “Heaven’s Gate”–
Eve: BUT HE CAUGHT THE REFEREE IN THE FACE WITH JAKE’S BOOT AS HE SPUN JAKE AROUND! THE REFEREE IS OUT FOR THE MOMENT AND COULD HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE EYE!
Gavin Kirkland: Well that was a huge mistake because even if he hits the move, he took the referee out. That could cost him the entire match with that mistake, BUT HE IS GOING
Eve: WELL IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME WE SAW THIS HAPPEN! WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED? NOW WE SEE CAROLINE MAKE HER PRESENCE FELT AS SHE GRABS JOSO BY THE LEG TO DISTRACT HIM!
Deadprez: This Caroline is a very evil woman as she gets on the apron. Joso instinctively drops Jake onto the mat and he is getting into a yelling match with Caroline. These two have had a rivalry brewing for quite some time.
Gavin Kirkland: Here’s the ring rust again because he should have stayed on Jake instead of arguing with Caroline because he is going to give Jake ample time to recover–
Eve: JAKE IS BACK ON HIS FEET AND HE ATTACKS JOSO FROM BEHIND AS HE CATCHES JOSO WITH A BACKSTABBER FROM BEHIND! JAKE RETURNED THE FAVOR FROM EARLIER!
Deadprez: Jake is back up as he pulls Joso back to his feet AND JUST SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE! HOW DISRESPECTFUL CAN YOU BE?
Gavin Kirkland: He isn’t being disrespectful at all. Jake is just showing Joso why he is The GOAT! Someone get the music ready because this match is just about over.
Deadprez: After a few more disrespectful slaps, JAKE DECIDES TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW!! JOSO IS DOWN AND COULD BE OUT BUT AGAIN JAKE PULLS JOSO BACK TO HIS FEET!
Eve: Jake has a full nelson applied as he drags Joso right over to Caroline. OH COME ON!! NOT THIS!! HAVEN’T YOU DONE ENOUGH?
Gavin Kirkland: No they haven’t because this match is still going on. But the end is near because Caroline is just about to add the icing on the cake.
Eve: Icing? More like a mist. Caroline has hit Joso with the mist two weeks in a row. Will it be a trifecta right here? CAROLINE GOES FOR THE MIST–
Deadprez: JOSO DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY AND SHE GOT JAKE WITH THE MIST IN THE EYES!! SHE DID IT AGAIN! ANOTHER MISFIRE BY CAROLINE!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!! CAROLINE!! WHAT HAPPENED? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BLIND JOSO, NOT JAKE!
Eve: JAKE IS FLAILING AROUND AS HE HAS BEEN BLINDED AS JOSO KNOCKS CAROLINE OFF THE APRON! JOSO GOES TO JAKE AND KICKS HIM IN THE GUT BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR—
Deadprez: AND JOSO FINALLY HITS THE “HEAVEN’S GATE”!! PACKAGE PILEDRIVER DROPS JAKE ON HIS HEAD AS JOSO SLOWLY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘LIKE WEEZY’ starts playing again as Joso slowly rolls off of Jake. The crowd is going absolutely crazy watching Caroline in shock for what she did. Joso is catching his breath as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… JOOOOOOOOOSSSOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: JOSO DID IT, DAWG!! In his first match back since October, Joso is victorious as he gets some much deserved revenge against both Jake Smith and Caroline.
Gavin Kirkland: I know you are happy to see Joso win and congrats to him, but the dream of Jake Smith winning and being the future of Showdown has just turned into a nightmare and I don’t like it.
(Joso gets back on his feet and the referee raises his arm in victory, seconds later, Caroline slides into the ring and goes after Joso. But Joso is too quick and is able to get away completely unharmed.)
Eve: Caroline isn’t happy right now, but it was her own fault. She slid right into the ring and went after Joso, but Joso got the hell out of dodge and got away from Caroline.
Deadprez: Even with some underhanded tactics, this was a hell of a match between two former World Champions. We were worried that the rust from Joso would be a deciding factor in the match.
Gavin Kirkland: It certainly almost was as Jake tried to exploit that as much as he possibly could and he did on numerous occasions. Let’s face it! He was very close to winning the match multiple times.
Eve: True, but it was that little stunt with Caroline that horribly backfired. Two weeks in a row, Caroline got the mist on Joso and she tried it again in this match but she once again missed the mist in a big time match and hit Jake with the mist, blinding him again. Joso took complete advantage of the situation and got the victory.
Deadprez: Jake certainly got close to winning the match and certainly tried everything he could to win, but it just wasn’t enough as Joso gets the huge victory in his first match back here at Road to Redemption. Congrats once again to Joso!
(The final shot shows Caroline angry in the ring as the referee tends to Jake before cutting to Joso who is celebrating his victory at the top of the entrance ramp as the crowd continues to cheer for the returning Elitist as the camera shot fades elsewhere.)

(The camera pans to the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the final time tonight, getting a good shot of it before finally, the camera transitions over to Bella Braxton, who can be seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is the EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(‘Lowlife Princess’ by BIBI hits, bringing about boos from the crowd as Miku Sakai begins to make her way out to the stage. She can be seen carrying what appears to be a cooler, but she doesn’t show what’s inside of it. The camera pans up to Miku’s face though, and she has a devious grin on her face, seemingly proud of the mysterious weapon she brought as she begins to make her way to the Chamber. Miku appears to be confident, ready for her shot at finally becoming World Champion.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first!… From Fukui, Japan… Weighing in at 110 pounds… THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, MMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIKUUUUUUUUUUU SAAAAKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai is here, and as we know, she feels she is the only challenger that actually earned their place here. She beat Cody Maverick at F*ck Your Thanksgiving to earn this spot, and to her credit, she IS the only participant to flat out win their qualifying match.
Thadd Blazevich: Miku’s been wanting to become a World Champ for years now, bro. If there’s any time for her to get the job done, it’s now that she has momentum on her side.
Persephone: I wonder what’s in that cooler. It better be something good, and not just some drinks or something.
(As Miku Sakai enters her pod, her music is replaced with ‘Run Into Flowers’ by M83. Loud cheers come from the crowd, and Bronson Daniels begins to walk out, holding a very modified baseball bat in his hand. The bat is wrapped with barbed wire, and a saw blade appears to be attached to it. To many fans in attendance this is a familiar weapon, as it is the same weapon Jon Kelton used in the 2020 Extreme Elimination Chamber. Bronson has a focused look on his face, wasting no time heading to the Chamber.)
Bella Braxton: On his way to the ring!… From Cocoa Beach, Florida… Weighing in at 190 pounds… THE HEARTBEAT, BRRROOOOOOOOONNNNSSOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAANNNNIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEELLLLLLLSSSSSS!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Bronson Daniels briefly became the Answers World Champion in a Chamber last year, so we can’t rule out his chances of repeating history and winning the EAW World Championship here.
Thadd Blazevich: Bronson’s been locked in some super heated beef with Jon Kelton, but this could be his chance to end that!
Persephone: That weapon isn’t so bad, to be honest. Bronson and Kelton still being obsessed with each other is annoying, but if it brings stuff like this I’m all for it.
(With Bronson Daniels entering his pod, ‘Lost In The World’ by Kanye West begins to play. Immediately the boos begin once more, and Jon Kelton begins to walk out, carrying two large blades, which are connected by a chain attached to the handle of each blade. This is another familiar weapon, but for an entirely different reason as these weapons are none other than the Blades Of Chaos, the iconic weapon of Kratos. Jon Kelton walks down the ramp, and he and Bronson stare at each other for a moment before Kelton just shakes his head.)
Bella Braxton: On his way to the ring!… From Toronto, Ontario, Canada… Weighing in at 205 pounds… THE LAST HOPE, JOOOOONNNNNNNNN KEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLTTOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Jon Kelton and Bronson Daniels are both in this match as a result of a double pin. I doubt either man will be willing to let things end that way for a third time after their first Deathwatch was a no contest.
Thadd Blazevich: Kelton looks ready for this one, bro. He’s another one that has spent his career waiting for a World title, and this time around I don’t see him sacrificing himself for Bronson!
Persephone: Nerdy weapons are usually trash, but those are pretty much two giant knives connected by a chain, so I’m fine with it.
(Jon Kelton, Miku Sakai and Bronson Daniels are now in their pods. There is only one pod spot left, and the answer of who that’d go to would soon be revealed as ‘Many Men’ by 50 Cent hits. A mixed reaction comes from the fans as Chris Elite walks out, holding nunchucks. They are not normal nunchucks however, as broken glass is glued to it. Chris spins the nunchucks, showing them off a bit. However, while he appears confident, a focused look shows on his face as he walks towards the ring, knowing that this is the opportunity he wanted to come back for the EAW World Championship.)
Bella Braxton: On his way to the ring!… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 210 pounds… GAWD GRIVEN GREATNESS, CCCCCHHHRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS EEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite wanted in on this match as he wasn’t willing to end his year without one more shot at the World Championship. Now he has it, and you have to imagine he’s even more prepared than he was at Bloodsport.
Thadd Blazevich: I know, dude. Chris is one of the three here to actually hold a World Championship in the past, and Chris was actually the first to do it! You gotta imagine he’s just itching to do it again.
Persephone: The glass shards are saving this weapon. It’s dumb as hell, but it’ll cause a lot of bloodshed so it’s acceptable.
(All four pod entrants are now in, leaving only two participants left. ‘There Is Surely Tomorrow’ by WAGAMAMA RAKIA hits, and a mixed, but mostly positive reception follows as Jay Jerry Johnson begins to walk out to the stage. Jay is wielding a tactical baton, and Jay looks as focused as ever. Not only is this his opportunity to become the EAW World Champion, but it was only weeks ago that Adam Lucas chose to make a statement at his expense, and Jay has not forgotten it. Wasting no time, Jay walks to the ring, not bothered about having to start the match.)
Bella Braxton: On his way to the ring!… From Chicago, Illinois… Weighing in at 223 pounds… THE ARTIST, JAAAAAYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEERRRRRYYYYYYYY JJJJJOOOOOOOOHHHNNNNNSSSSOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson is here, and he’s ready for a Championship match I imagine he didn’t even expect. F*ck Your Thanksgiving was an unfortunate night for him, but he was able to recover from that, and now he has the chance to redeem himself for what happened that night.
Thadd Blazevich: I think that’d fit the name of this event pretty well, bro! Jay won’t have it easy though, as he’s starting this match going right at it against the dude that nearly made him miss this event in the first place!
Persephone: Is that… A baton? What is he gonna do with a tactical baton? This is an Extreme Elimination Chamber, how is that in any way useful??
(Jay Jerry Johnson waits, until finally, ‘Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)’ by Royal Deluxe hits. Everyone in attendance begin to boo, but as Adam Lucas walks out, he couldn’t care less about the reception he is given. He raises his EAW World Championship with a focused look on his face, but to the surprise of the fans in attendance, it doesn’t look like Adam has a weapon. His free hand is empty, and Adam shows no signs of having a weapon. He doesn’t appear bothered by this though, staring directly at Jay Jerry Johnson as he heads to the Chamber.)
Rich Russillo: The Champion is on his way to the ring, and… I don’t see a weapon on him, but to be fair, Adam Lucas has had a very successful season. I wouldn’t doubt him at this point. There’s definitely a method to his madness, and he has proven this countless times.
Thadd Blazevich: Adam has defeated nearly everyone in this match in Championship defenses, bro! He has been a super dominant Champ, but this won’t be easy. Somehow he’s gonna have to win this Chamber, despite starting it with Jay! This won’t be easy, but I’ll definitely be radical, and I’m totally ready for our main event!
Persephone: Wait wait wait, I’m not ready! What are we doing here?? WHERE IS ADAM’S WEAPON??? Jay’s weapon sucks! Don’t tell me we have literally the worst two options starting this match, are you serious??
(Adam Lucas gives his Championship to an official before entering the Chamber, which is locked behind him. Adam Lucas enters the ring, and once both he and Jay Jerry Johnson are in their corners, the bell rings.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Rich Russillo: The EAW World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber begins, as we kick things off with a rematch of F*ck Your Thanksgiving, where Adam Lucas was able to defeat Jay Jerry Johnson after Jay suffered a concussion during the match! Both men are standing in their separate corners of the ring, slowly beginning to approach each other, but you have to think that Adam is at a bit of a disadvantage here.
Thadd Blazevich: I know, dude. Not bringing a weapon into this match was a weird call, but bro doesn’t look too bothered about it.
Persephone: I just don’t get why we had to start the match with the two most boring people. How am I supposed to get invested in this?
(Adam Lucas and Jay Jerry Johnson stare at each other, and the ring is already filled with tension following the last encounter these two had with each other. Adam sees the tactical baton that is in Jay’s hand, but he doesn’t appear to be bothered by it. Instead, Adam just puts his hand out towards Jay, gesturing for his opponent to bring it on.)
Rich Russillo: WELL, ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! ADAM IS READY TO GET THINGS STARTED, AND JAY WASTES NO TIME BRINGING THE FIGHT TO ADAM AS HE RUSHES IN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN! JAY WASTES NO TIME TRYING TO PUT THAT BATON TO USE- BUT ADAM IS ABLE TO GRAB AHOLD OF IT JUST AS JAY WENT TO SWING IT!
Thadd Blazevich: TRIPLE J ISN’T RELYING ON THAT WEAPON THOUGH, AS HE IMMEDIATELY STARTS RAINING DOWN FISTS ON THE WORLD CHAMP! ADAM CLEARLY DIDN’T THINK ABOUT JUST HOW MUCH TRIPLE J WANTS REVENGE! ADAM IS ABLE TO PUSH JAT OFF OF HIM BEFORE STARTING GET BACK UP-
Persephone: BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK UP, ADAM IS MET WITH A SHOT FROM THE BATON RIGHT TO THE STOMACH! Adam doubles over in pain, AND JAY HITS ADAM IN THE SPINE WITH THE BATON! Honestly, Adam deserves this if you ask me. Not because of what he did to Jay, but because he didn’t bring a weapon into this match.
Rich Russillo: Well he is the EAW World Champion for a reason so I don’t doubt he has some sort of plan- BUT IT CERTAINLY DOESN’T LOOK THAT WAY RIGHT NOW, AS JAY CATCHES ADAM WITH YET ANOTHER SHOT TO THE MIDSECTION WITH THE BATON! JAY IS JUST BEING RELENTLESS, VICIOUSLY SWINGING THE BATON AT ADAM OVER AND OVER TO THE POINT THAT HE DOESN’T EVEN SEEM TO CARE WHERE HE’S SWINGING AT ANYMORE! IT LOOKS LIKE AS LONG AS HE’S CONNECTING HE’S HAPPY, AND HE SEEMS TO BE CONNECTING WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE SHOTS RIGHT NOW!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay finally drops the baton, and bro, you can already see how that baton has left its mark all over Adam’s back! Triple J isn’t giving us much time to get a good look at it though, AS HE’S ALREADY SETTING UP FOR THE MATCH ENDER! BRO, JAY IS LIFTING ADAM UP FOR HEAVEN’S FEEL!
Persephone: BUT ADAM IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF JAY’S GRASP AND ROLL DOWN HIS BACK, PULLING JAY INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: JAY IS QUICK TO KICK OUT, AND HE RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE-
(CRACK!)
Rich Russillo: BEFORE GETTING HIT WITH HIS OWN BATON!!! ADAM WAS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE BATON AND HIT JAY WITH IT AS SOON AS HE GOT BACK UP! DID YOU HEAR THE SOUND THAT MADE!?
Thadd Blazevich: Triple J drops to a knee as Adam throws the baton out of the ring, AND NOW ADAM GRABS HIM BEFORE JUST THROWING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, DROPPING TRIPLE J ONTO HIS HEAD! Dude, that’s the last thing Jay needs to be experiencing after getting concussed, don’t you think?
Persephone: It is, and that’s exactly why it’s perfect. Anyways, it looks like Adam isn’t a complete idiot after all. He just removed the padding from the middle turnbuckle, and he pulls Jay back to his feet before BASHING HIS FACE INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! THERE WE GO! IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA USE A WEAPON YOU MIGHT AS WELL FIND SOME OTHER WAY TO MAKE THIS INTERESTING! ADAM IS BASHING JAY’S HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE REPEATEDLY, AND IF WE’RE LUCKY JAY IS GONNA GET ANOTHER CONCUSSION!
Rich Russillo: JAY IS ABLE TO PUSH ADAM AWAY, but I think the damage has already been done! Jay is stumbling back, and it looks like that exposed turnbuckle has already managed to draw blood! Jay was clearly taken off guard by the fact that he’s been busted open, but he can’t let that shake him before-
Thadd Blazevich: BEFORE ADAM CAN RUSH BACK IN, KNEEING JAY IN THE MIDSECTION! Unfortunately, I don’t even think Triple J even had time to get his head back in the game! This dude Adam was right on his tail, like he’s a shark or something!
Persephone: Thank God I didn’t have to wait ages to see blood. I’m honestly surprised we got it this soon seeing how awful we’re starting off with the weapons.
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas lifts Jay Jerry Johnson up, and he throws him over the top rope with a body slam, dropping Jay back first onto that Chamber floor! Adam begins to make his way out of the ring, and it’s looking like Adam has been able to take control of this one early on, which is exactly what you need when you’re starting the match, and will have to contend with four other Elitists in addition to the one in front of you.
Thadd Blazevich: Adam drags Triple J up, and it looks like bro’s gonna aim to keep inflicting as much damage as he can before anyone else gets out here! Adam’s holding Jay, AND HE RUNS IN TO THROW JAY INTO THE CHAMBER WALL!
Persephone: BUT JAY TURNS IT AROUND, THROWING ADAM INTO THE CHAMBER WALL INSTEAD! ADAM STUMBLES OFF OF IT, AND NOW JAY PICKS HIM UP, LIFTING ADAM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE POWERBOMBING ADAM INTO THE WALL!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM FALLS, BUT JAY DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE PULLS ADAM IN! JAY IS LOOKING TO TAKE OUT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION EARLY!
Thadd Blazevich: AND BRO MIGHT JUST GET HIS WISH, AS HE JUST DUMPED ADAM HEAD FIRST ONTO THE CHAMBER FLOOR WITH A PILEDRIVER!!!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT A COMBINATION BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON, ENDING IT OFF IN BRUTAL FASHION AS WE ALL KNOW THAT CHAMBER FLOOR IS THE WORST PLACE YOU CAN LAND RIGHT NOW! JAY JERRY JOHNSON WASTES NO TIME HOOKING THE LEG, LOOKING TO GUARANTEE A NEW CHAMPION!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: BUT ADAM LUCAS IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! That was nearly a three count before even the first person could exit the pod, and that just goes to show how devastating that piledriver really was! Still, Adam Lucas remains in this match, and Jay is going to have to somehow keep his foot on the gas while also keeping a look out for the next entrant!
Thadd Blazevich: Triple J quickly turns Adam over, AND HE STARTS TO SLAM ADAM’S FACE INTO THE CHAMBER FLOOR! Dude, things have already gotten pretty nasty and there are only two people in the match right now!
Persephone: I’m pleasantly surprised. I guess I shouldn’t have judged these two from their lack of good weapons.
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson drags Adam Lucas back up before dragging him towards Chris Elite’s pod, AND JAY SLAMS ADAM’S FACE ONTO IT! Adam begins to stumble away, but Jay is quick to grab Adam, BEFORE SENDING HIM IN BETWEEN THE ROPES, AND SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT INTO THE RING POST! That’s not the kind of spot that Adam wants to be in, but Jay isn’t giving him any time to breathe! He gets in the ring before lifting Adam onto the top rope, and it appears Jay may be looking for a superplex!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay climbs up to the middle rope before beginning to set up, BUT ADAM LANDS A PUNCH TO THE RIBS! TRIPLE J LOOKS LIKE HE WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH THAT ONE, AND NOW ADAM RAISES HIS LEG, PLACING HIS FOOT ON TOP OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HIS BACK IS FACING THE CHAMBER FLOOR! Bro, what is going on!?
Persephone: ADAM LANDS AN ELBOW TO THE TOP OF JAY’S HEAD! ANOTHER ONE, AND ANOTHER ONE! ADAM HITS JAY WITH A FOREARM TO THE SAME SPOT THAT WAS BUSTED OPEN BY THE TURNBUCKLE, AND NOW ADAM BEGINS TO LIFT JAY UP-
Rich Russillo: BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERPLEX ONTO THE CHAMBER FLOOR!!!! BOTH MEN WENT CRASHING INTO THE FLOOR OF THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER, AND JAY MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE WORST OF THAT ONE, BUT NEITHER OF THEM ARE GOING TO GET UP EASILY AFTER THAT!
(The crowd explodes with a loud reaction following that superplex, but that’s not all that’d get the crowd going as both Adam Lucas and Jay Jerry Johnson are seen laid out on the Chamber floor. Before long, the fans could be heard beginning to chant, as a countdown appears on the screen.)
Crowd: 5!…
Crowd: 4!…
Crowd: 3!…
Crowd: 2!…
Crowd: 1!…
(BUZZ!!!)
(The crowd cheers as a light begins to flash across each of the four Chamber pods. All four Elitists within the pods are ready to leave the Chamber, each of them holding onto their unique weapons. Slowly, the light begins to slow down.)
(Before finally a pod opens, right behind Adam Lucas who finally begins to push himself back up.)
(THUD!)
Rich Russillo: WOW! MIKU SAKAI IS IN THE CHAMBER, AND HER VERY FIRST MOVE WAS SLAMMING HER COOLER INTO THE BACK OF ADAM LUCAS’ HEAD!!!
Thadd Blazevich: Yikes, that had to hurt bro. Miku quickly drags Adam back up though, AND SHE HOLDS HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE STEPPING OFF OF THE CHAMBER POD, DELIVERING A TORNADO DDT ONTO THE COOLER! Bro, Adam Lucas had already been wiped out, and we haven’t even seen what’s inside of it yet!
Persephone: Jay Jerry Johnson is starting to stir, and finally Miku opens up that cooler before taking something out of it. Jay’s able to get back to his feet-
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL????
Thadd Blazevich: OH MY GOD!!!
Persephone: WELL THAT’S CREATIVE!!! MIKU HAS A BUNCH OF ICICLES IN THAT COOLER, AND SHE JUST STABBED JAY JERRY JOHNSON IN THE STOMACH WITH ONE OF THEM!
RIch Russillo: It’s been said that items that aren’t sharp enough for clean stabs are even worse to be stabbed with, so I can only imagine how painful that must’ve been for Jay knowing how much force Miku had to put into that! Miku pulls the icicle out of Jay’s stomach, BEFORE SMASHING IT OVER HIS HEAD!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku sends Jay back into the ring, and bro, Triple J is not in good shape right now. Miku sends bro into the corner of the ring, AND SHE RUNS IN BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH A DROPKICK, DROPPING JAY INTO A SEATED POSITION! Miku rushes into the opposite corner, AND BRO, THIS MIGHT BE A BAD TIME FOR TRIPLE J! MIKU SAKAI RUNS IN FOR THE MUSTACHE !!!!
Persephone: BUT JAY GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND MIKU CRASHED INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! That was probably the worst way that could’ve gone for Miku, but that’s what happens when you go for stupid moves like that.
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai stumbles back to her feet, backpedaling into the center of the ring in pain as she-
Thadd Blazevich: EQUALIZER!!!!
Rich Russillo: WOAH!!! ADAM LUCAS OUT OF NOWHERE JUST TOOK MIKU SAKAI’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT LARIAT!!! MIKU WAS ON FIRE WHEN SHE GOT INTO THIS MATCH, BUT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION WAS ABLE TO CUT THAT SHORT! Adam turns around-
Persephone: RIGHT INTO PRETTY VISITOR!!! JAY CAUGHT ADAM WITH THE CUTTER, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: ADAM IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: I don’t know how Adam is still in this one, dude! Jay is staying focused though, and bro makes his way out of the ring before getting that cooler Miku brought into the match! Jay brings it into the ring before taking out one of the icicles, and now bro is waiting as Miku Sakai starts to finally get back up!
Persephone: JAY TRIES TO STAB MIKU WITH THE ICICLE, BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO CATCH HIS ARM BEFORE SHE COULD GET HIT RIGHT IN THE FOREHEAD! COME ON JAY, TRY HARDER! I WANT TO SEE MORE BLOOD ALREADY, NOW HURRY UP!
Rich Russillo: MIKU IS ABLE TO KICK THE COOLER INTO JAY’S LEG THOUGH, PUSHING JAY BACK TO A KNEE! Miku grabs the ropes to start trying to pull herself up, BEFORE RUNNING IN, STEPPING OFF OF THE COOLER AND LEAPING AT JAY FOR THE CUCK KILLER!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT MIKU WAS CAUGHT, BRO!!! JAY IS HOLDING ONTO MIKU TO PREVENT HER FROM BRINGING HIM DOWN FOR THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! THAT WAS ALMOST REALLY BAD FOR TRIPLE J, BUT THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE USE OF THE SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO!
Persephone: ACTUALLY I DON’T THINK THAT CHANGED ANYTHING, BECAUSE MIKU JUST RAKED THE EYES! SHE COULDN’T CONNECT WITH THE CUCK KILLER, SO SHE SETTLED FOR CAT SCRATCH FEVER TO GET THE UPPER HAND! JAY LETS GO OF MIKU, IMMEDIATELY GRABBING AT HIS FACE IN PAIN!
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas has pulled himself into a seated position in the corner of the ring, AND MIKU TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS, GRABBING JAY AND SENDING HIM CRASHING RIGHT INTO ADAM!!! JAY FALLS DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION AS WELL, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS ARE IN THE CORNER, RIGHT WHERE MIKU WANTS THEM AS SHE RUNS IN WITH A HUGE DROPKICK! Miku uses the ropes to start pulling herself back up, and now it looks like she has an idea in mind!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku is eyeing that exposed middle turnbuckle from before, AND NOW SHE PULLS ADAM UP, BEFORE RUNNING IN AND SENDING ADAM HEAD FIRST INTO THAT EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE WITH A BULLDOG!!! BRO, ADAM JUST FELL BACKWARDS AND LOOK AT HIS HEAD! IT’S LIKE IT JUST POPPED! Miku Sakai was able to get some more blood gushing, this time from the World Champion’s head as he’s just out of this! Miku has made one hell of an impact since getting in the match, bros. She wants the EAW World Championship and she just might get it tonight!
Persephone: Adam is starting to stumble back to his feet, so Miku starts climbing up to the top rope. I don’t know what she has in mind right now, but since she’s going to the top rope instead of using weapons, it probably won’t be anything impressive.
Rich Russillo: WELL WE’LL NEVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HER PLAN WAS, AS ADAM IS ABLE TO HIT MIKU WITH A RIGHT HAND, STOPPING MIKU IN HER TRACKS BEFORE SHE COULD DIVE! Miku was clearly caught off guard with that one, AND NOW ADAM GRABS MIKU BEFORE THROWING HER- OH MY GOD!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM JUST THREW MIKU RIGHT INTO TRIPLE J, WHO JUST SENT AN ICICLE RIGHT INTO HER FOREHEAD!!!! MIKU DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT, AND BRO, I THINK THE FORCE OF THAT WAS ENOUGH TO BUST HER HEAD OPEN! Miku might be knocked out, dude! She was completely taken off guard by that icicle to the forehead! You could say she just got a taste of her own medicine!
Persephone: Yeah, but Jay still had Adam to deal with. Adam rushes in with a big boot to Jay, BUT JAY AVOIDS IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO KICK ADAM IN THE HEAD WITH THE DRAGONSLAYER! ADAM DUCKED UNDER THAT THOUGH AND ATTEMPTS TO APPLY A WAISTLOCK ON JAY- BUT JAY DELIVERS A BACK ELBOW BEFORE SLIPPING BEHIND ADAM FOR ONE OF HIS OWN! JAY LIFTS ADAM UP, BEFORE SENDING ADAM INTO THE COOLER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! The back of Adam’s head hit that cooler. Jay must really be pissed about that concussion a few weeks ago.
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas and Miku Sakai are both down and out. Now is a great opportunity for Jay Jerry Johnson to try and get an early elimination, which I’d say is necessary if you want to better your chances once more Elitists start making their way into the match. Jay turns to Miku Sakai, and it seems he’s chosen to target her for the time being as he begins to make his way over to her. Jay drags Miku Sakai up before throwing her out of the ring, and he follows behind as he seems to have some wicked intentions!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay is dragging Miku to her own pod, AND HE SLAMS HER FACE ONTO THE GLASS OF THE UNOPENED SIDE OF THE POD! Triple J isn’t messing around right now bro, BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO FIGHT BACK WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE RIBS! That definitely caught my dude Jay off guard, BUT BRO IS ABLE TO FIGHT BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND, WHICH HE FOLLOWS UP BY GRABBING MIKU AND CONNECTING WITH AN UPPERCUT! Miku’s back is against the glass, AND NOW TRIPLE J STARTS TO PUMMEL HER WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM-
Persephone: ONLY FOR MIKU TO LOW BLOW HIM!! I guess that was one way to solve that problem. She just kicked Jay below the belt, and now-
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: WOAH!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BRO, WHAT JUST HAPPENED???
Rich Russillo: AS SOON AS JAY FELL BACK FROM THE LOW BLOW, ADAM LUCAS RAN IN AND SPEARED MIKU SAKAI THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD!!!!!!! ADAM AND MIKU JUST BROKE RIGHT THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD!!!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AND TOOK IT, BRO! MIKU DIDN’T SEE ADAM COMING BECAUSE OF JAY, AND BRO, IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT HE MADE USE OF THAT IN THE CRAZIEST WAY!
(With all three Elitists now laid out and unable to move, the fans appear unsure of how this match is going to progress. However, they’d soon find themselves cheering and chanting in excitement, as the countdown begins once more.)
Crowd: 5!…
Crowd: 4!…
Crowd: 3!…
Crowd: 2!…
Crowd: 1!…
(BUZZ!!!)
(The lights begin to flash between the three remaining unopened pods. The fans once again begin to wait, anticipating the next arrival. During this, Jay Jerry Johnson uses the Chamber wall to begin slowly pulling himself up, only to come face to face with the next entrant as the light finally stops.)
Rich Russillo: AND CHRIS ELITE IS NOW IN THE CHAMBER!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS ELITE EXITS HIS POD WITH HIS WICKED COOL NUNCHUCKS, AND HE AND TRIPLE J ARE STARING RIGHT AT EACH OTHER! These two do have history with each other, dude. Chris Elite took the Interwire Championship from Jay, and they even had to work together back in the Brand Warfare match! This time is gonna be different though, ‘cause they’re going head to head for the EAW Championship!
Persephone: Thank God those nunchucks are covered in glass shards. I don’t know if I could take anymore stupid weapons without at least some brutality.
Rich Russillo: If you want brutality, just look at the state Jay is in. He’s already covered in blood, BUT HE GOES AFTER CHRIS ELITE REGARDLESS, NOT BACKING DOWN FROM A FIGHT! HE SWINGS AT CHRIS, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT! CHRIS SWINGS THE NUNCHUCKS AT JAY’S HEAD, BUT JAY BACKS AWAY! CHRIS IS QUICK THOUGH, AND HE SWINGS AT JAY’S MIDSECTION! Jay is able to avoid that too, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS CATCHES THE LEG THOUGH, AND BRO SPINS JAY AROUND BEFORE HITTING JAY RIGHT IN THE GUT WITH THE NUNCHUCKS! JAY DOUBLES OVER IN PAIN, AND SPINS THE NUNCHUCKS BEFORE BASHING IT RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF TRIPLE J’S HEAD! JAY DROPS DOWN TO ALL FOURS, AND CHRIS ELITE DEFINITELY JUST TOOK CHARGE OF THIS ONE, BRO!
Persephone: Chris grabs Jay before sending him into the ring, and he sends the nunchucks in as well. Jay starts to stumble back to his feet, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE, FOLLOWED BY A COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Persephone: Well, that didn’t last long. Jay kicked out.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, but I think that’s exactly why Chris made sure to send those nunchucks back in the ring with him. Chris grabs them on his way back to his feet, AND HE SWINGS IT RIGHT INTO JAY’S BACK! You gotta remember, those aren’t just regular nunchucks! Broken glass is stabbing Jay every single time those nunchucks connect! This is hard to watch.
Thadd Blazevich: But look, dudes! Adam Lucas is finally moving after that spear into the pod, and it looks like he’s starting to drag Miku out as well. You think he’s gonna go for the pin?
Persephone: Well that’d be stupid since it’s been ages since that happened, so no. Adam’s gonna need more if he wants to take her out… Like hopefully, using that broken pod to his advantage.
Rich Russillo: I think you may be in luck, Persephone! Adam just grabbed one of the broken pieces of the pod glass as Miku starts slowly trying to crawl away, and I think Adam has gotten a pretty good idea! Adam makes his way over to Miku as she starts using the ropes in an attempt to pull herself up, AND NOW HE GOES TO SLASH HER IN THE BACK WITH THE GLASS!
Thadd Blazevich: MIKU JUST BARELY GOT OUTTA THE WAY! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE, BRO! ADAM ISN’T MESSING AROUND RIGHT NOW! ADAM GOES IN TO TRY AND STAB MIKU WITH THE GLASS- BUT MIKU KICKS HIM AWAY! DUDE, MIKU IS GONNA NEED TO FIND SOME WAY TO GET AWAY FROM ADAM RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and I think Jay Jerry Johnson is dealing with that same problem with Chris Elite! Chris just dragged Jay back up to his feet, AND HE JUST TRIED TO SWING THE NUNCHUCKS AT JAY’S HEAD- BUT JAY WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT, BEFORE USING WHATEVER STRENGTH HE COULD MUSTER UP IN ORDER TO HIT CHRIS WITH AN ELBOW!
Thadd Blazevich: Triple J stumbled closer to the ropes, AND CHRIS JUST RAN IN- BUT JAY WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF, DUCKING DOWN AND LIFTING CHRIS OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: CHRIS WAS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET OUTSIDE OF THE RING, BUT HE JUST STUMBLED RIGHT IN BETWEEN ADAM LUCAS AND MIKU SAKAI!
Rich Russillo: ADAM TAKES A SLASH AT CHRIS ELITE, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE HEAD SHOT!!! THE PELE KICK DROPS ADAM LUCAS, AND CHRIS WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE SITUATION!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku got pretty lucky there, bro. She was able to evade Adam just long enough for Chris Elite to get involved, and thanks to that she was able to get back up without any proble-
Persephone: HA, SO MUCH FOR THAT! CHRIS DECIDED TO TAKE THE GLASS SHARD HIMSELF, AND HE JUST SWUNG AT MIKU WITH IT! ALL MIKU COULD DO TO REACT IN TIME WAS PUT HER ARMS UP, SO CHRIS JUST SLASHED HER RIGHT ACROSS THE ARMS! This is great. The more blood, the better.
Rich Russillo: MIKU SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN AFTER GETTING HER ARMS SLASHED, AND NOW CHRIS GOES FOR ANOTHER SLASH- BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER THIS ONE! MIKU IS STILL ON THE DEFENSIVE AS SHE’S FORCED TO BACKPEDAL A FEW MORE OF THOSE SLASHES FROM CHRIS- BEFORE FINALLY SHE IS ABLE TO CATCH THE ARM, PUSHING CHRIS BACK WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Chris stumbles back-
Thadd Blazevich: BEFORE THROWING THE GLASS SHARD AT MIKU’S HEAD! MIKU BARELY AVOIDED THAT ONE, BRO! SHE HAD TO DIVE ONTO THE FLOOR TO STOP THAT ONE FROM HITTING HER- BUT LOOK! I THINK MIKU MIGHT’VE FOUND SOMETHING TO EVEN THE ODDS!
Persephone: MIKU PICKED UP THE NUNCHUCKS THAT CHRIS DROPPED ON HIS WAY OUT THE RING, AND SHE JUST HIT CHRIS IN THE SIDE WITH IT! There we go! Chris quickly grabs his side in pain after being stabbed with a ton of glass shards, and now it looks like Chris is the one on the defensive! Miku gets back to a knee, AND SHE HITS CHRIS IN THE GUT WITH THE NUNCHUCKS! Chris stumbles back, and he’s probably starting to wish he didn’t bring that stupid weapon into this match now.
Rich Russillo: Miku takes the opportunity to swing at Chris Elite’s face, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER BEFORE RUNNING TO THE RING, JUMPING OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO MIKU! Chris takes Miku out with that one, but he immediately sits up and holds his midsection, which you can definitely see blood beginning to spill from after all those stabs with the nunchucks! Chris shakes his head, pushing himself back up before sending Miku back into the ring.
Thadd Blazevich: And you already know exactly who’s in the ring! Triple J was recovering after those shots earlier, and now he takes advantage of the situation by lifting Miku up!
Persephone: BUT WHILE HE WAS DOING THAT CHRIS ELITE MADE HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE JAY WAS DOING THAT, AND HE HITS JAY WITH A DIVING DROPKICK WHILE HE STILL HAD MIKU IN THE AIR!
Rich Russillo: JAY FALLS BACKWARDS, BUT IN THE PROCESS HE DROPS MIKU HEAD FIRST ONTO HER COOLER WITH A BRAINBUSTER!!! THAT WAS AN UNEXPECTED SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, BUT THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A WAY TO TAKE TWO PEOPLE DOWN AT ONCE! Chris is still hurting from those nunchuck shots to the side and the midsection, but I think he knew he had too good of an opportunity on his hands right there to pass it up!
Thadd Blazevich: Chris Elite grabs the ropes to start getting up, and that probably took a lot outta bro, but it definitely was impressive! Chris has had an awesome performance so far, and-
Persephone: WAIT, LOOK! BEHIND CHRIS!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS WAS ABLE TO GRAB JAY’S BATON FROM EARLIER BEFORE PUTTING IT AROUND CHRIS ELITE’S THROAT, AND NOW ADAM IS STRANGLING CHRIS WITH IT!!! CHRIS IS FLAILING AROUND, TRYING TO GRAB ADAM LUCAS, WHO IS BEHIND CHRIS JUST PULLING THAT BATON BACKWARDS ACROSS HIS THROAT! ADAM WAS OUT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THAT PELE KICK, BUT THE REMOVED FOCUS FROM HIM GAVE HIM THE TIME TO GO AND GET THAT BATON!
Persephone: Wow. I didn’t think they’d be able to find a use for that that’s not as boring as possible. I’m impressed.
Thadd Blazevich: I DON’T THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO BE IMPRESSED! REMEMBER, THERE ARE NO ROPE BREAKS AND FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE IN A CHAMBER! IF CHRIS ELITE PASSES OUT HERE, HE’LL BE ELIMINATED!
Rich Russillo: YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT ONE, THADD! IF CHRIS IS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THIS CHOKE, HE VERY WELL MAY TURN OUT TO BE THE FIRST ELIMINATION OF THIS MATCH! KNOWING HOW MUCH HE WANTED HIS SHOT AT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, I’M SURE THAT’S THE LAST THING HE WANTS!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS GRABS THE BATON, TRYING TO PULL IT AWAY FROM HIS THROAT! HE IS STILL THE FRESHER COMPETITOR, MAYBE HE’LL HE ABLE TO POWER THE BATON AWAY FROM ADAM!
Persephone: Yeah, but it’s not like it’ll be easy given the position he’s in.
(Jay Jerry Johnson and Miku Sakai are still laid out on the mat. Chris Elite is still struggling to pull the baton away from him, with Adam Lucas still doing everything he can to pull backwards and choke Chris out. However, during this struggle, the countdown begins.)
Crowd: 5!…
Crowd: 4!…
Crowd: 3!…
Crowd: 2!…
Crowd: 1!…
(BUZZ!!!)
(There are only two pods left, which belong to the two former members of Elysium. The lights flash between the two pods, going back and forth between the two until finally…)
(One of the two pods is opened…)
(And all of the fans in attendance begin to boo.)
Rich Russillo: JON KELTON IS IN THE MATCH, AND HE WASTES NO TIME MAKING HIS WAY TOWARDS THE ACTION!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS ELITE WAS ABLE TO FREE HIMSELF AND CATCH ADAM LUCAS WITH A BACK ELBOW-
Rich Russillo: AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR ADAM, HE WAS RIGHT WITHIN RANGE FOR KELTON TO CATCH HIM WITH A SLASH TO THE BACK WITH ONE OF HIS BLADES! JON KELTON’S WEAPON IS AS DANGEROUS AS POSSIBLE, CARRYING TWO BLADES CONNECTED BY A CHAIN! THOSE BLADES OF CHAOS JUST LEFT A HUGE MARK ON ADAM’S BACK, AND I DON’T THINK KELTON IS FINISHED THERE!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS WAS ABOUT TO WALK AWAY FROM THE ROPES- BUT KELTON JUST SWUNG ONE OF THE BLADES BY THE CHAIN, AND BRO USES IT TO SLASH CHRIS ELITE IN THE BACK WITH THE BLADE! CHRIS REACHES AT HIS BACK IN PAIN, AND ALREADY KELTON IS PUTTING HIS WEAPON TO USE AS BRO TURNS AND SWINGS THE BLADE, LEAVING ANOTHER SLASH AT ADAM’S MIDSECTION!
Persephone: YES, I LIKE THIS! I DON’T KNOW HOW HE WAS ALLOWED TO BRING TWO GIANT BLADES INTO THE MATCH BUT I GUESS STUPID NERD STUFF GETS A PASS, AND FOR ONCE I’M GLAD TO SEE THAT! CUT HIS HEAD OFF!
Rich Russillo: Adam turned around clutching at his stomach- BUT HE DOESN’T GET MUCH TIME TO PROCESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED, AS KELTON QUICKLY GIVES ADAM A TASTE OF WHAT HE JUST DID TO CHRIS ELITE, WRAPPING THE CHAIN AROUND ADAM’S THROAT AS HE STARTS CHOKING HIM OUT WITH IT! ADAM LUCAS IS BEING CHOKED OUT WITH THE CHAIN, AND HE MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE RIGHT NOW! THE TABLES HAVE COMPLETELY TURNED HERE!
Thadd Blazevich: THAT’S RIGHT BRO! THIS TIME ADAM’S THE ONE ON THE VERGE OF ELIMINATION, AND HE ALREADY STARTED THE MATCH! I CAN’T SEE HIM STAYING IN THIS FOR TOO LONG! DUDE, IS KELTON GONNA ELIMINATE THE CHAMP??
Persephone: NOPE! ADAM BACKPEDALED AS HARD AS HE CAN, SENDING BOTH HIMSELF AND JON KELTON THROUGH THE ROPES AND BACK INTO THE RING!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and that forced Kelton to let go of the chains! Both men get back to their feet-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ADAM WASN’T IN THE CLEAR YET, BRO! KELTON JUST CAUGHT ADAM WITH A SPINEBUSTER, PLANTING THE CHAMP ON THE MAT! Bro, now that I think about it Kelton must still have some serious beef with Adam. I know we’re totally way past it at this point, but Adam is technically part of the reason Elysium broke up, right?
Persephone: I guess so, but who cares about that? I’m glad Elysium broke up. I was tired of those melodramatic losers doing the same thing over and over again.
Rich Russillo: Kelton gets back to his feet, AND CHRIS ELITE TRIED TO TAKE HIM OUT WITH A DISCUS LARIAT, BUT KELTON WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE HITTING CHRIS WITH AN ELBOW! CHRIS RESPONDS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN- BUT KELTON RESPONDS WITH A JUMPING KNEE, CAUSING CHRIS TO LOSE HIS FOOTING! KELTON IS ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, GRABBING CHRIS AND GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT CHRIS FLIPPED OUT OF IT! HE DROPPED TO A KNEE THANKS TO THE DAMAGE HE TOOK, BUT HE’S ABLE TO PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP BEFORE GRABBING KELTON FROM BEHIND! DUDE, IT LOOKS LIKE CHRIS IS ABOUT TO GO FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!
Persephone: NO HE ISN’T! KELTON LANDS A FEW BACK ELBOWS, AND SINCE CHRIS LITERALLY JUST HAD HIS BACK SLICED OPEN AFTER GETTING STABBED EARLIER ON, HE CAN’T TAKE TOO MUCH OF THOSE WITHOUT LETTING GO! Chris starts stumbling backwards-
Rich Russillo: AND RIGHT INTO JAY JERRY JOHNSON’S GRASP! JAY GOT BACK UP JUST IN TIME, CATCHING CHRIS AND DROPPING HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX! This match is getting more and more chaotic as the entrants come out, and with Miku Sakai now starting to pull herself back up, Jay Jerry Johnson and Jon Kelton may both need to watch out! Kelton is making his way over towards Jay, trying to capitalize on the situation as he pulls him up!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY CATCHES KELTON WITH A RIGHT HAND THOUGH, KNOCKING KELTON BACK- AND RIGHT INTO MIKU’S PATH AS SHE CHARGES AT KELTON! MIKU’S STORMING IN!
Persephone: KELTON WAS READY, AND HE’S ABLE TO POP MIKU UP IN THE AIR!
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU LANDS ON JAY JERRY JOHNSON, DROPPING JAY WITH A HUGE DDT!!! JON KELTON ACCIDENTALLY ASSISTED MIKU SAKAI, WIPING OUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON! Kelton sees the situation going on with all of his opponents down on the mat, AND HE QUICKLY RUSHES AFTER HIS BLADES OF CHAOS, PICKING IT UP!
Thadd Blazevich: Wait, not so fast! Kelton tried to grab one of the blades, but look bro! Adam is holding onto the other one, and remember, those two blades are connected by the chain! It’s basically a tug of war for the blades!
Persephone: Thankfully, Kelton isn’t dumb enough to actually play along! KELTON GOES FOR A KICK TO ADAM’S HEAD, BUT ADAM IS ABLE TO PUSH HIMSELF UP JUST ENOUGH TO CATCH KELTON’S LEG! ADAM GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE PUSHES KELTON BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: BUT KELTON STOPS HIMSELF! KELTON RUSHES TO THAT COOLER AND OPENS IT, BEFORE TAKING ONE OF THE ICICLES OUT AND JUST THROWING IT AS HARD AS HE CAN AT ADAM! ADAM IS ABLE TO SWAT IT AWAY AS IT HITS THE FLOOR AND BREAKS- BUT KELTON DOESN’T STOP THERE! HE THROWS MORE OF THEM AT ADAM, AS ADAM IS FORCED TO JUST START BLOCKING!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT LOOK! THAT MIGHT’VE JUST BEEN A DISTRACTION, AS KELTON JUST RAN IN BEFORE HITTING ADAM WITH A BIG BOOT! Adam drops down to a knee, and now Kelton throws him over towards the corner where Chris Elite is still recovering! Kelton now running in-
Persephone: BUT ADAM GETS A BOOT UP, BEFORE QUICKLY HITTING CHRIS ELITE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO KEEP HIM DAZED! Adam goes after Jon Kelton, and he sends him out of the ring! I think he has something in mind.
Rich Russillo: He sure does! Jon Kelton stumbles back to his feet, AND NOW ADAM GOES FOR THE EQUALIZER-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT MIKU GRABS ADAM BY HIS LEG AND PULLS HIM BACKWARDS, CAUSING BRO TO LAND DIRECTLY ON HIS FACE! Yikes, that was a bad landing, bro.
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite is slowly stumbling out of the corner, and now he turns his attention over to Jay Jerry Johnson. Chris begins to drag Jay back up, BUT JAY CATCHES CHRIS WITH A FOREARM, STUNNING CHRIS AS HE IS KNOCKED BACK! Jay starts trying to push himself up, BUT ONCE HE DOES, CHRIS IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! CHRIS ELITE AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON ARE STARTING TO GO BACK AND FORTH, AND LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON BETWEEN ADAM AND MIKU!
Thadd Blazevich: BRO, MIKU DUMPED MOST OF THE REMAINING ICICLES ONTO THE MAT, AND NOW SHE’S BASHING ADAM’S FACE INTO THEM! HIS FACE MAY NOT BE HITTING THE SHARP ENDS, BUT BRO, THOSE ARE HARD ICICLES! THAT’S GOTTA HURT!
Persephone: YEAH, BUT I GUESS ADAM WAS ABLE TO FIND A WAY TO STOP HER, AS HE WAS ABLE TO GRAB ONE OF THE ICICLES THAT HAVEN’T BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY HIS OWN FACE BEFORE JAMMING IT INTO MIKU’S ARM!
Rich Russillo: Miku screams and lets go of Adam, meanwhile Jon Kelton has been given the perfect chance to reclaim his weapon and take a step back! This has been such a chaotic match, but with an odd number of participants currently out, Kelton has an advantage as he’s able to stay out of the fight, even if only momentarily.
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, but I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think staying outta the fight is bros biggest priority right now, dude.
Persephone: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Thadd actually has a point. Kelton us staring directly at someone… And given the time, I guess we should’ve expected this to happen. Ugh.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. That was a fantastic observation by the two of you. Kelton didn’t just get his weapon for no reason, he got his weapon because he knows the final entrant is about to leave his pod.
(Jay Jerry Johnson and Chris Elite continue to brawl near the corner of the ring, right in front of the exposed turnbuckle which is now covered in the blood of both Jay and Adam Lucas. Adam Lucas and Miku Sakai are both closer to the center of the ring, with Adam on all fours trying to shake off the damage dealt, and Miku Sakai reluctantly being forced to pull the icicle out of her arm. Jon Kelton on the other hand has begun walking directly towards the final unopened pod, as both he and the man inside stare at each other, waiting as the final countdown begins.)
Crowd: 5!…
Crowd: 4!…
Crowd: 3!…
Crowd: 2!…
Crowd: 1!…
(BUZZ!!!)
(The light flashes into the sole Chamber pod remaining. Bronson Daniels and Jon Kelton are staring directly at each other, both waiting until the moment finally arrives.)
Rich Russillo: AND HERE WE GO! THE POD OPENED!!!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON TRIES TO SLASH BRONSON WITH ONE OF THE BLADES, BUT BRONSON IS ABLE TO KICK IT AWAY! BRONSON SWINGS THAT BARBED WIRE SAW-BAT AT KELTON, BUT KELTON IS ABLE TO AVOID IT BY STEPPING BACK! KELTON SPINS AND TRIES ANOTHER SLASH, BUT BRONSON IS ABLE TO AVOID THAT BEFORE KICKING KELTON IN THE MIDSECTION!
Rich Russillo: BRONSON RAISES THE BAT, BEFORE FINALLY SWINGING IT DOWN ON JON KELTON’S BACK! KELTON DROPS TO THE FLOOR, AND ALREADY YOU CAN SEE HOW HIS BACK HAS BEEN TORN APART BY BOTH THE BARBED WIRE AND THE SAW BLADE DIGGING INTO HIS SKIN! IT’S IRONIC, KELTON’S OWN PAST WEAPON IS BEING USED TO TAKE HIM OUT!
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON SWINGS THE BAT DOWN ONTO KELTON FOR A SECOND TIME, BEFORE DROPPING IT AND DRAGGING KELTON UP! Bro, Bronson Daniels is moving like a man possessed right now! What’s he doing-
(CRASH!)
Persephone: WELL, THERE’S YOUR ANSWER! BRONSON JUST THREW KELTON THROUGH THE GLASS OF HIS POD! Kelton rolls away and starts grabbing onto the Chamber wall after that, but I doubt he knows where he is after something like that. Somehow, he still is holding onto those blades, though.
Rich Russillo: Bronson grabs his bat before walking over to Kelton, and I think he’s ready to just put him down for the count! Kelton slowly sits up, AND NOW BRONSON PUSHES THE SAW BLADE ON HIS BAT RIGHT TOWARDS KELTON’S FACE!!!
Thadd Blazevich: NO! KELTON CAUGHT THE BAT, BUT BRO HAD TO GRAB ONTO A WHOLE LOTTA BARBED WIRE TO DO IT! KELTON TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL BRONSON IN THOUGH, SLASHING BRONSON ACROSS THE FACE! YIKES! KELTON CAUGHT BRONSON WITH A GOOD ONE, AND THAT’S NOT ALL THAT’S GOING ON! LOOK AT CHRIS ELITE AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
Persephone: Jay was able to get the better of Chris and send him out of the ring, BUT THANKS TO THIS CHRIS WAS ABLE TO GRAB HIS NUNCHUCKS, AND AS SOON AS JAY GOT BACK UP, CHRIS CAUGHT HIM IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH IT! JAY JUST GOT HIT WITH SOME SHATTERED GLASS RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Rich Russillo: Jay drops down to his knees after that one, and as if he hasn’t already lost enough, MORE blood is pouring from the side of his head! Meanwhile, Adam Lucas is back to his feet and has kneed Miku in the midsection, AND NOW ADAM LIFTS MIKU ONTO HIS SHOULDER, BEFORE RUNNING IN AND SENDING MIKU HEAD FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE WITH A LAWN DART! MIKU GOES DOWN, AND NOW ADAM DRAGS HER RIGHT BACK UP, LOOKING TO TAKE HER OUT!
Thadd Blazevich: Adam sends Miku into the ropes, AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS TO SET UP FOR, BRO! MIKU BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, RIGHT INTO ADAM’S GRASP FOR LEVEL UP!!!!
Persephone: BUT MIKU DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT!! SHE GETS A THUMB TO THE EYE BEFORE ADAM COULD POWERBOMB HER!
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile, Jon Kelton just bashed the back of Bronson’s head into the Chamber wall, and now I think Kelton is gearing up to try and end BRONSON’S RUN IN THE CHAMBER BEFORE IT EVEN GETS STARTED! KELTON TRIES TO STAB BRONSON WITH THE BLADES OF CHAOS!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BRONSON GETS OUTTA THE WAY, SWINGING THE BAT AT KELTON- OH GOD!!! BRO, THAT BAT WOULDN’T HAVE HIT KELTON NORMALLY, BUT THE SAW WAS ABLE TO CATCH KELTON, CATCHING HIM WITH A NASTY CUT TO THE MIDSECTION! I KNOW THAT ONE HURT, BRO! KELTON JUST COLLAPSED TO A KNEE, AND NOW BRONSON GRABS HIM BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE INTO THE CHAMBER WALL!
Persephone: Kelton drops down to his knees, and now Bronson gets on top of him before beginning to just pummel him with punches. I’m not really surprised those two are focused on each other. They literally had two deathmatches and it still wasn’t enough for them.
Rich Russillo: Kelton is able to push Bronson off of him, BEFORE GRABBING HIS BLADE AND USING THE CHAIN TO SWING IT AT BRONSON, SLICING HIM IN THE ARM JUST AS BRONSON WENT TO BLOCK! Bronson quickly pushes himself back up and grabs his bat, AND KELTON TRIES TO SWING THE BLADE AT BRONSON AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME BRONSON GETS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE KICKING KELTON IN THE FACE!
Thadd Blazevich: Jay Jerry Johnson meanwhile has started getting back up, all while Miku Sakai and Adam Lucas have been fighting! All three of these dudes are in the middle of the ring, but… Dude, Chris Elite isn’t anywhere near them!
Persephone: Uh… yeah. You might want to look up there.
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE IS ON TOP OF A POD!!!! CHRIS MUST’VE MADE THE CLIMB AFTER TAKING JAY OUT WITH THE NUNCHUCKS, AND WE WERE BUSY FOCUSING ON ADAM, MIKU AND THE FORMER MEMBERS OF ELYSIUM! CHRIS HAS HIS SIGHTS SET ON THE THREE INSIDE OF THE RING, AND NOW HE RUSHES TO THE END OF THE POD BEFORE DIVING OFF!!!
Thadd Blazevich: CHRIS ELITE JUST WIPES OUT ADAM LUCAS, TRIPLE J AND MIKU SAKAI WITH A DIVING CANNONBALL SENTON!!!! BRO JUST TOOK OUT EVERYONE, INCLUDING HIMSELF!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!!
Persephone: Inside of the ring is just a mess right now. All four of them are down and out, and thanks to Chris Elite doing something dumb like that after losing a ton of blood, he can’t even capitalize and go for a pin. Meanwhile outside of the ring, Bronson and Kelton are still having their fight. I swear, they might as well be having their own separate match right now.
Rich Russillo: Kelton was able to disarm Bronson, knocking the bat out of his hand with a kick! Kelton swings his blade at Bronson’s head now, BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE GODBREAKER!!!! KELTON GOES DOWN, BUT BRONSON DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! These two want to make sure that their opponent is out of this one for good, and at the rate they’re going, they may just be able to get their wish! They’re both covered in various cuts all over, but they’re still going! Bronson grabs one of the broken pieces of pod glass before walking over to Kelton, AND BRONSON JUST SLASHES HIM ACROSS THE CHEST WITH IT!
Thadd Blazevich: Bronson drags Kelton up, and bro just starts hitting Kelton with forearm after forearm, until finally he just lets go of him, letting Kelton drop to all fours! I think Bronson is thinking about what he should do next. Both Elitists are in bad shape right now… BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BRONSON DOESN’T CARE! BRO JUST STARTED CLIMBING THE CHAMBER WALL, AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IN MIND RIGHT NOW, BUT IT CAN’T BE ANYTHING SAFE IF HE’S MAKING HIS WAY UP THERE! BRONSON’S GONNA GET HIMSELF HURT, BRO!
Persephone: Bronson slowly is able to make it to the top of the pod, but by the time he got up there, Kelton was able to start crawling up as well. Seriously, are these two stupid? There’s literally no way this is actually gonna end in a good way for them.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think they care at this point. Jon Kelton is able to make his way to the pod, AND BRONSON TRIES TO KNOCK KELTON DOWN- BUT BEFORE HE COULD KELTON IS ABLE TO STOP HIM WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE! BRONSON STAGGERS, AND THIS GIVES KELTON THE TIME HE NEEDS TO PULL HIMSELF TO THE TOP OF THE POD! BOTH MEN ARE AT THE TOP OF THE POD- BUT KELTON HITS BRONSON WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE JAW!
Thadd Blazevich: Chris Elite is starting to recover inside of the ring, and bro just looks up at the pod, watching Bronson and Kelton go at it! These dudes somehow still haven’t had enough of each other, and I’m not even sure if they’ll be ready to win the EAW World Championship until after they’ve taken their enemy outta this Chamber!
Persephone: Bronson grabs Kelton, AND HE PUNCHES HIM IN THE JAW, NEARLY KNOCKING KELTON OFF OF THE POD! If Kelton fell there, he might’ve landed right onto the bat. That’d be terrible… I hope it happens.
Rich Russillo: Well it doesn’t just yet, as Kelton is able to maintain his balance before hitting Bronson with an elbow! Kelton pulls Bronson into a knee to the midsection after that, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE KELTON IS TRYING TO SET UP FOR CHANGE THE FUTURE ON TOP OF THE POD!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT BRONSON SPINS OUT OF KELTON’S GRASP, HOLDING ONTO ONE OF KELTON’S ARMS TO PULL HIM INTO A KICK TO THE GUT! BRONSON PULLS KELTON IN, AND NOW MIGHT BE THE TIME!
Persephone: SAVAGE MODE!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! KELTON PUSHES BRONSON OFF OF HIM, AND- WAIT!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: GALICK GUN, KICKING BRONSON DANIELS OFF OF THE POD!!!!!!!!!!!
(CRACK!)
(The thousands of people in attendance fall into a stunned silence. While usually a moment like this would usually bring about a loud reaction, but from the moment Bronson collided with the Chamber floor, they could tell something was wrong.)
(The referee could as well, which is why he wasted no time checking on Bronson Daniels. Jon Kelton remained at the top of the pod, watching as the referee inspected the situation, unsure of what to do. Bronson was the freshest competitor in the match, and thanks to this he felt as if he felt as if he could push himself up. However, attempting to do so would only make the issue more apparent.)
(Almost immediately after attempting to push himself to all fours, Bronson collapses and clutches onto his shoulder. Bronson knew something was wrong, but he couldn’t wince in pain, as he was feeling unusually dizzy.)
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Bronson Daniels fell from the top of the pod, but that wasn’t a good landing. He went shoulder first right into that bat, while the back of his head hit the Chamber floor. His shoulder and head took the brunt of that fall, and from that height, that’s not something you can just recover from. Bronson’s shoulder could’ve been seriously injured right there.
Thadd Blazevich: And that’s not even mentioning the concussion he might have. :lupe:
Persephone: Nice…
(By now it is clear that something is wrong, as Bronson Daniels is struggling to stand. Bronson doesn’t seem to know where he is, but he tries his best to find his way back to his feet, not even realizing exactly what was coming his way.)
Rich Russllo: WAIT, WHAT IS HE DOING????
Thadd Blazevich: BRO, IS KELTON INSANE????
Persephone: THE LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE!!!! JON KELTON JUST DOVE FROM THE TOP OF THE POD, RIGHT ONTO THE BARELY STANDING BRONSON DANIELS WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!!! WHATEVER INJURY BRONSON MIGHT’VE HAD, I THINK IT JUST GOT A BIT WORSE!
Thadd Blazevich: BRONSON IS DOWN AND OUT, BUT AS KELTON PUSHES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE BRO IS JUST LOOKING TO TAKE HIM OUT!! KELTON WANTS TO END BRONSON FOR GOOD!!!
(The stunned silence continues, as on his way back to his feet, Jon Kelton picks up the bat. Kelton looks at it for a moment, reminded of his history with this weapon back at Road to Redemption years ago, until finally, he raised it over the head of Bronson.)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(Blood is pouring from Bronson Daniels’ head at a concerning rate, and it isn’t just because of the barbed wire, nor is it entirely because of the saw. It’s because Kelton put everything into those swings, doing everything in his power to bash Bronson’s head in with the bat.)
(Before long, a few medical staff members make their way into the Chamber, having been called out by the referee, who is now pushing Kelton away from Bronson. Normally this type of brutality would be allowed in a Chamber, but when an Elitist has suffered a career threatening injury it isn’t foreign for referees to declare the Elitist unable to continue, and that injury may have already come to Bronson. It was already clear that Bronson may have been concussed, and at this point, Kelton was trying to put Bronson’s life at risk, having completely broken his head open. The medical staff tend to Bronson once they’re in the Chamber, and they slowly begin to pull Bronson up, doing their best to help him as the referee prepares to make a decision.)
(However, Kelton was not allowing that to happen.)
Rich Russillo: FINAL ATONEMENT!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: JON KELTON JUST HIT BRONSON DANIELS WITH THE SPEAR, PAYING NO MIND TO HIS CONDITION AS HE PUTS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN!!!
(The medical staff was forced to get out of the way as Kelton ran in for the spear, but this would be a mistake as it only gave Kelton what he wanted. Jon Kelton takes the opportunity to hook the legs, making the cover. The referee doesn’t move for a second, completely taken aback, but he’s immediately snapped back into reality with just a few words from Kelton.)
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) HURRY UP AND COUNT!
(The referee doesn’t really want to do it, but since no announcement had been made and Bronson was not yet out of the Chamber, Kelton technically had a right to cover him. Reluctantly, the referee gives him what he wants, going for the count.)
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: …BRONSON DANIELS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Jon Kelton has a grin on his face as he rolls off of Bronson Daniels, and without wasting time, the medical team begins to rush back in and help Bronson out of the Chamber, appalled after what just took place.)
Rich Russillo: That was a very unfortunate turn of events there, as a likely injury from Bronson Daniels resulted in Jon Kelton getting exactly what he wanted, and eliminating Bronson from the Chamber. I’m seriously in disbelief right now.
(Even the referee looks a bit regretful over not making the call to have Bronson removed sooner, but none of this stopped Kelton from laughing knowing that he was able to take Bronson out, likely from more than just this match.)
Thadd Blazevich: Kelton gets back to his feet, and he-
Persephone: GETS HIT WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE FACE!!!! CHRIS ELITE JUST TOOK OUT JON KELTON, AND THANKFULLY, KELTON IS FORCED TO GO BACK TO FIGHTING EVERYONE INSTEAD OF TRAPPING US IN THE ELYSIUM VORTEX!
Rich Russillo: Chris throws both the blades of chaos and Bronson’s modified bat into the ring, before finally he grabs Kelton and does the same to him! Chris makes his way into the ring and grabs the bat, a bat wrapped in barbed wire with a saw blade on it! Kelton starts pushing himself up, BUT CHRIS HITS KELTON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE BAT, DROPPING KELTON TO THE MAT!
Thadd Blazevich: Chris walks over to Miku Sakai who is on all fours, AND CHRIS HITS HER IN THE BACK, DROPPING HER AS WELL!! Chris now turns and sees that Adam Lucas appears to be down and out, and bro, Chris is looking to pick up the second elimination right here, bro! He’s making his way up to the top rope, AND THIS COULD BE BAD, BRO! THE CHAMP MIGHT BE THE SECOND ONE OUT!!!
Persephone: AIMIN’ FOR THE MOON!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM WAS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP!!!!!! CHRIS ROLLS OFF OF ADAM LUCAS IN PAIN, AND I THINK ADAM MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLAY POSSUM A BIT RIGHT THERE!!! Adam pulls himself back to his feet using the ropes, AND NOW HE KICKS CHRIS IN THE MIDSECTION, DROPPING HIM TO A KNEE, WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK, DROPPING CHRIS TO BOTH KNEES! Adam now, PULLING CHRIS UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! ADAM MAY BE LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB!
Thadd Blazevich: BUT CHRIS ISN’T LETTING THAT HAPPEN, BRO! HE’S RAINING DOWN PUNCHES ON TOP OF THE CHAMP’S HEAD, MEANWHILE MIKU AND KELTON ARE BOTH STARTING TO PULL THEMSELVES UP! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS ALSO STIRRING, BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK WE GOTTA FOCUS ON CHRIS AND ADAM!
Persephone: KELTON TRIED TO GO AFTER MIKU SAKAI, BUT MIKU SLAPPED HIM IN THE FACE! MEANWHILE, CHRIS SLIPPED OUT OF ADAM’S SHOULDERS, GIVING CHRIS ENOUGH TIME TO HIT ADAM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!
Rich Russillo: That enzuigiri didn’t come without cost though, as it basically took everything Chris still had left in him. Chris is on all fours trying to push himself up, BUT THE TIME HE TOOK ALLOWED ADAM TO GRAB CHRIS, TRYING TO PULL HIM UP FOR MAYBE A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! ADAM HAS THE WAISTLOCK IN AS HE PULLS CHRIS TO HIS FEET, AND NOW CHRIS IS FORCED TO BEGIN FRANTICALLY SENDING ELBOWS BACKWARDS, TRYING TO KNOCK ADAM OFF OF HIM!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku grabs Jon Kelton during this, AND SHE SLAMS BRO’S FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BEFORE JUST STARTING TO STOMP AWAY AT HIM IN THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: KELTON IS ABLE TO CATCH MIKU’S LEG AFTER A FEW OF THOSE STOMPS, AND NOW KELTON TURNS MIKU BEFORE KICKING HER IN THE BACK! Miku drops to a knee as Kelton gets back up. Kelton catches his breath for a moment, taking the time to slowly drag Miku up by her hair-
(CRASH!)
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU GRABS ONE OF THE REMAINING FULL ICICLES, SMASHING IT AGAINST KELTON’S HEAD!!! At this point, there aren’t many icicles left. It’s more like a pile of ice that’s slowly melting. It’s not often we get a weapon that gradually becomes unusable.
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah, but I think those icicles did their job, bro! They contributed heavily to the brutality of the match, even up to this far in! I gotta say, they really brought some vicious weapons into this match, bro. They helped make this an insane match.
Persephone: Can we forget about those icicles for a second? Chris forced Adam to let go of him, AND HE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP ONE OF THOSE BLADES OF CHAOS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE, SLASHING ADAM LUCAS ACROSS HIS ENTIRE MIDSECTION WITH IT! Adam is lucky Chris couldn’t get a deep cut in, or else all his guts would be spilling out right about now. That’s too bad, we really missed out.
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite certainly didn’t though, as that slash was more than enough to catch Adam off guard and create the opening he needed! Chris grabs Adam by the arm before setting him up, AND NOW CHRIS PLANTS ADAM WITH THE FACE VALUE!!!!! ADAM LUCAS WAS JUST DROPPED ON HIS HEAD, AND THE IMPACT MADE HIM ROLL FORWARD INTO A SEATED POSITION INVOLUNTARILY! Chris gets back to his feet, and it seems like he just got a good idea as he begins to back up! CHRIS STARTS TO RUN THE ROPES, RUNNING THE ROPES WHILE ADAM DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS!
Thadd Blazevich: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!
Persephone: ADAM LUCAS GOES DOWN, AND CHRIS RUSHES BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFO-
Rich Russillo: WOAH WOAH WOAH, WAIT A SECOND!!!! CHRIS ISN’T ABLE TO GO FOR THE COVER!!!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST LIFTED CHRIS ELITE UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS OUTTA NOWHERE, PICKING HIS SPOT AS SOON AS CHRIS GOT BACK TO HIS FEET TO GO FOR THE PIN!!!! TRIPLE J SCOOPED CHRIS UP, BEFORE BACKPEDALING TOWARDS THE PILE OF ICE!!!!!
Persephone: HEAVEN’S FEEL!!!!! JAY JUST DROPPED CHRIS HEAD FIRST ONTO BOTH THE MAT AND THE ICE, BUT WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM!? I FEEL LIKE IT’S BEEN AGES SINCE HE ACTUALLY DID ANYTHING!
Rich Russillo: JAY WAS RECOVERING, LAYING LOW UNTIL HE HAD A PERFECT OPENING LIKE THIS ONE!!! WE MENTIONED THAT AN ODD NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS WILL CREATE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, AND NOW THAT SITUATION HAS JUST COST CHRIS ELITE!!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS QUICK TO CLIMB ON TOP OF CHRIS, HOOKING THE LEGS FOR A COVER!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: CHRIS ELITE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Rich Russillo: AND CHRIS ELITE IS OUT OF THIS ONE!!!! Chris had a great performance tonight, but unfortunately his run comes to an end, as Jay Jerry Johnson was able to catch him by surprise, taking him out of this match!
Thadd Blazevich: That was sick, bro. Jay played this one smart, you can’t even blame him! Now two of his opponents were taken out instead of just one, although Adam was able to roll out of the ring thanks to all the time he was given.
Persephone: Jay just shakes his head seeing this, turning towards his other two opponents-
Rich Russillo: BEFORE GETTING TAKEN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A ROLL UP!!!! MIKU’S GONNA GET ANOTHER PERSON OUT, RIGHT AFTER CHRIS WAS ELIMINATED!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY JERRY JOHNSON KICKS OUT!!!
Persephone: AND NOW MIKU IS GETTING ROLLED UP BY JON KELTON!!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND THERE’S ANOTHER KICKOUT! JON KELTON LOOKS TO RETURN TO HIS FEET- BUT ON HIS WAY BACK TO THE RING, HE’S FORCED TO DUCK UNDER AN ATTEMPT TO KICK HIS HEAD OFF, AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST ATTEMPTED TO HIT KELTON WITH THE DRAGONSLAYER!
Thadd Blazevich: KELTON KICKS JAY IN THE MIDSECTION AFTER THAT, AND MIKU TAKES ADVANTAGE BY RUNNING IN AND DROPPING JAY WITH A DROPKICK TO THE FACE! Jay goes down temporarily, BUT KELTON’S NOT WASTING THIS OPPORTUNITY, BRO! HE QUICKLY GRABS MIKU, SETTING UP FOR CHANGE THE FUTURE!!!!
Persephone: BUT MIKU SLIPS OUT OF IT BY DROPPING DOWN ONTO THE MAT, TAKING KELTON DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD!! KELTON IS DOWN, AND NOW MIKU GRABS HIS OWN BLADES OF CHAOS BEFORE LITERALLY STABBING HIM IN THE BACK!!!! YESSS!!!!! GOOD JOB MIKU, YOU DID SOMETHING USEFUL FOR A CHANGE!
Rich Russillo: KELTON YELLS OUT IN PAIN, BUT MIKU COULDN’T CARE LESS! SHE GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND BACKS UP- BEFORE CHARGING FORWARD, STEPPING OFF OF KELTON’S BACK BEFORE JUMPING AT JAY JERRY JOHNSON IN THE CORNER, FALLING BACKWARDS AND DELIVERING A MONKEY FLIP!! JAY GOES DOWN, AND MIKU SAKAI NOW HAS THE CHANCE TO POTENTIALLY GET ANOTHER ELIMINATION RIGHT NOW! MIKU BEGINS THE CLIMB TO THE TOP ROPE, MEANWHILE BOTH JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND JON KELTON ARE DOWN ON THE MAT, IN PERFECT POSITION FOR A DIVE FROM MIKU!!!
(THUD!)
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ADAM LUCAS MADE IT BACK UP, AND HE JUST YANKED MIKU BACKWARDS AS HER HEAD GOES RIGHT INTO THE CHAMBER POD BEHIND HER!!!! THAT HAD TO HURT, BRO! Miku’s gonna have a real bad headache in the morning!
Persephone: Adam Lucas leans against the ropes to keep his footing, and honestly I wasn’t so sure he’d be able to get back into this after Chris Elite took him out, but I guess he was kinda bailed out by nobody focusing on him.
Rich Russillo: Well either way, that was a great way to wipe out a serious threat in Miku Sakai. Jay Jerry Johnson and Jon Kelton are both getting back up now, and during this, Jay notices that Adam Lucas has gotten back up! Jay tries to push himself up to go after Adam-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT KELTON PULLS JAY DOWN INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!
Persephone: HE DOESN’T KEEP THE PIN IN THIS TIME, THOUGH! HE PUSHES JAY TO A KNEE, BEFORE GOING FOR THE GALICK GUN!!
Rich Russillo: JAY CATCHES THE LEG THOUGH, AND HE PULLS KELTON IN BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX!!!!! KELTON IS SENT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND NOW JAY SLOWLY PUSHES HIMSELF UP, TRYING AS HARD AS HE CAN TO PUSH PAST THE PAIN AND KEEP GOING! REMEMBER, JAY JERRY JOHNSON WAS ONE OF THE TWO MEN THAT STARTED THIS MATCH!
Thadd Blazevich: AND THE OTHER BRO THAT STARTED THE MATCH IS HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES, READY TO TAKE HIM OUT!!!
Persephone: ADAM FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE FOR THE EQUALIZER!!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAY HAD IT SCOUTED!!!! HE WAS ABLE TO CATCH ADAM’S ARM, HOOKING IT AS HE DUCKS UNDER BEFORE PULLING ADAM INTO A TIGER SUPLEX!!! ADAM LUCAS IS DUMPED ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, AND NOW JAY LOOKS TO CONTINUE HIS OFFENSE!
Thadd Blazevich: JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS DELIVERING CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK OF ADAM’S HEAD, AND REMEMBER BROS, JAY GOT CONCUSSED BACK WHEN ADAM FACED HIM AT F*CK YOUR THANKSGIVING, AND ADAM DIDN’T CARE! HE DIDN’T LET JAY GET TREATED JUST SO HE COULD FINISH THE MATCH! JAY IS USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET REVENGE, AND AT THIS RATE BRO MIGHT JUST BE ABLE TO GET WHAT HE’S LOOKING FOR!
Persephone: JAY DRAGS ADAM UP, BEFORE HITTING ADAM WITH A HUGE ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! ADAM’S GOTTA BE KNOCKED OUT BY THIS POINT, BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT I CARE ABOUT! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO WINS THE MATCH, I JUST WANT IT TO BE BLOODY!
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai and Jon Kelton are both starting to stir, but as they’re both beginning to recover, Jay Jerry Johnson is getting ready to put this one away! Jay pulls Adam Lucas back to his feet, AND NOW ADAM LIFTS JAY UP, LOOKING FOR A SECOND HEAVEN’S FEEL, THIS TIME TO WHAT MAY SOON BE THE FORMER EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!
Thadd Blazevich: NO!! ADAM LUCAS IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF OFF OF JAY’S SHOULDERS, DROPPING DOWN AND PULLING JAY INTO A ROLL UP! JAY ROLLS OUT OF IT, BUT IN THE PROCESS HE ENDS UP BACKPEDALING INTO THE ROPES!!!
Persephone: AND RIGHT INTO ADAM LUCAS’ GRASP!!! ADAM LUCAS POPS JAY JERRY JOHNSON UP- BUT JAY IS PREPARED FOR LEVEL UP, AND HOLDS ONTO THE HAIR OF ADAM TO PREVENT HIM FROM DROPPING HIM WITH THE POWERBOMB THE SAME WAY HE DID BEFORE! ADAM’S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO HIT THE LEVEL UP!!!
Rich Russillo: YOU’RE RIGHT, BUT ADAM DOESN’T LET THAT STOP HIM AS HE POPS JAY UP, TRANSITIONING INTO SOMETHING ELSE!!!
Thadd Blazevich: THE NEXT LEVEL!!!! ADAM LUCAS JUST HIT THE POP UP CUTTER, DROPPING JAY FACE FIRST ONTO THE BAT AS JAY GOES RIGHT INTO ALL THAT BARBED WIRE!!!
Persephone: ADAM RIPS JAY’S HEAD OFF OF THE BARBED WIRE BAT AND TOSSES THE BAT ASIDE, BEFORE TURNING JAY OVER BEFORE GETTING THE ARM OVER HIM!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Bella Braxton: JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The fans boo, but as Adam Lucas slowly rolls off of Jay Jerry Johnson, he can be seen with a smirk on his face, smiling through the blood after putting Jay Jerry Johnson down.)
Rich Russillo: We know Adam Lucas wasn’t happy about Jay Jerry Johnson entering this match given the circumstances and the history, so I’m sure he’s satisfied having taken him out of the match.
Thadd Blazevich: YEAH, BUT HE DOESN’T GET TOO MUCH TIME TO RELAX, AS KELTON GETS ON TOP OF THE CHAMP BEFORE BEGINNING TO JUST PUNCH AWAY AT BRO! KELTON IS ALL OVER ADAM, AND I GOTTA ADMIT, THIS WAS A GOOD TIME FOR THIS DUDE TO STRIKE!
Persephone: It’s genuinely baffling that we ended up with the most unlikable people in the Chamber as our final three. Who is everyone supposed to root for? Miku Sakai???
Rich Russillo: To be fair, I don’t think you ever really had a favorite here, anyway.
Persephone: You’d be correct. I just hope they all kill each other.
Rich Russillo: Well Jon Kelton certainly doesn’t seem opposed to that, as he just lifted Adam Lucas up and onto the top rope! Jon Kelton’s desire to become EAW World Champion has put him on a storied journey this season. A journey that includes both the betrayal and now injury of the man he once called his brother, Bronson Daniels. Kelton has the chance to get what he wants, and I don’t think he’ll take that lightly. Kelton is taking the blades of chaos, and I don’t know what he could have in mind here, but it just can’t be good.
Thadd Blazevich: Kelton makes his way outta the ring, AND HE THROWS THE BLADES ONTO THE TOP OF THE POD BEHIND ADAM! Now I am really confused, what is bro doing?? Jon Kelton makes his way towards the Chamber wall, and… AND HE’S BEGINNING TO CLIMB UP! Kelton is climbing up the Chamber wall, and whatever it is he has in mind, I think it’s obvious that bro wants to settle his business at the top of the pod! Is he about to try and repeat what he did to Bronson Daniels? I hope not. There’s no telling how long Bronson is gonna be out after that.
Persephone: You’re right, but that’s just more reason for me to hope that’s what he’s planning. Anyways, Jon Kelton has made it to the top of the pod to get to the blades, and I think it’s time for his plan to go into motion!
Rich Russillo: You’re right! Kelton reaches down and wraps the chain around Adam’s throat, BEFORE BACKING UP AND PULLING ON THE CHAIN FROM THE TOP OF THE POD!!!! JON KELTON IS PRETTY MUCH HANGING ADAM LUCAS FROM THE TOP OF THE POD, AND WE’VE TALKED ABOUT HOW BAD IT WAS BACK WHEN ADAM WAS JUST BEING CHOKED OUT!! SOMEHOW KELTON FOUND A WAY THINGS TEN TIMES WORSE, AND ADAM IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO ENDURE THIS FOR LONG!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: DUDE, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SEE ADAM’S FACE START TO CHANGE COLOR!!! THE FACT THAT HE’S NOT TAPPING OUT IS INSANE, BUT IF HE STAYS HERE ANY LONGER, IT’S NOT GONNA MATTER IF BRO WANTS TO TAP OUT OR NOT! HE’S GONNA PASS OUT, AND WE’RE GONNA BE GUARANTEED A NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!
Persephone: WELL ADAM IS UNFORTUNATELY MAKING THINGS VERY DIFFICULT, AS HE’S TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND LOOSEN KELTON’S GRIP ON THE CHAIN!! ADAM GRABBED ONTO THE CHAIN AND IS TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP A BIT, ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE A LITTLE BIT JUST TO CREATE A TINY BIT OF ROOM TO BREATHE! I can’t tell if it’s really working, but Adam hasn’t died yet so needless to say, I’m not happy!
(Jon Kelton continues to choke out Adam Lucas, and despite Adam’s best efforts to pull himself free, he continues losing his strength second by second. Eventually he is no longer able to hold onto the chains, as his arms slowly fall. He does his best to reach at the chain around his throat, but he can feel his eyes slowly beginning to close. Adam frantically throws his arms up one more time, fighting with his literal last breath to try and prevent his World Championship reign from coming to an end.)
(But then… It happens.)
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE!?!?
Thadd Blazevich: MIKU SAKAI MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE POD, AND SHE JUST SHOVED JON KELTON OFF!!!!
Persephone: KELTON JUST FELL FROM THE TOP OF THE POD, TUMBLING INTO ADAM LUCAS ON THE WAY DOWN AS BOTH OF THEM FALL AND CRASH INTO THE RING!!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED???
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS WAS ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT, BUT JUST BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN, MIKU KNOCKED BOTH OF THEM OFF THE TOP AND SENT THEM BOTH INTO THE RING! KELTON WAS SO FOCUSED ON ELIMINATING THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, THAT HE DIDN’T ACCOUNT FOR MIKU SAKAI SNEAKING UP ON HIM LIKE THIS!
Thadd Blazevich: BOTH MEN ARE IN THE RING, BUT THANKFULLY FOR KELTON, I THINK ADAM LUCAS’ BODY JUST SOFTENED THE LANDING FOR HIM!!! Kelton is able to start slowly pushing himself up, but dude, that fall clearly rocked him regardless of how he landed! Kelton doesn’t know where he is right now, and-
Persephone: AND I THINK THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MIKU WAS WAITING FOR, AS SHE DIVES FROM THE TOP OF THE POD!!!
Rich Russillo: BEFORE PLANTING JON KELTON WITH WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN HER BIGGEST DIVING CORKSCREW CUTTER EVER!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: THE WALK OF SHAME CONNECTS FROM THE POD, AS MIKU KNEW SHE COULDN’T RISK TAKING THE TIME TO GET DOWN FROM THE POD, LETTING KELTON RECOVER! MIKU HAD TO TAKE A RISK, AND THAT RISK PAID OFF!!!
Persephone: YEAH, AND IN THE PROCESS SHE MIGHT’VE JUST DONE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO HER BACK! MIKU IS SOMEHOW BARELY ABLE TO MOVE, AND IT’S JUST ENOUGH FOR HER TO TURN OVER AND PULL HERSELF ONTO JON KELTON!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: JON KELTON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Rich Russillo: WE ARE DOWN TO TWO, AND THOSE MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST DANGEROUS PAST FEW MINUTES OF THIS ENTIRE MATCH!!! Jon Kelton literally could’ve killed Adam Lucas, and as for those spills from the top of the pod, we already saw with Bronson Daniels earlier just how bad it could’ve been if ANY of them landed badly! Thankfully Adam and Kelton’s tumble wasn’t as bad as Bronson’s fall, and Miku was able to somewhat control her own trajectory since she dove on her own accord unlike Bronson. Everything that happened there was risky, and it was all for this. This moment right here.
Thadd Blazevich: Yeah… Small problem, bro.
Persephone: We’re about to get the most anticlimactic final two of all time, because Miku Sakai is pinning the half-dead Adam Lucas.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT ADAM HAD SOME TIME TO RECOVER, AND THANKS TO THAT, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!
(Miku bashes her hands against the mat, furious after Adam Lucas kicked out, ruining her plan to take out both of her final opponents at once. Adam Lucas is struggling to breathe after everything for a moment, but strangely enough, a slight grin flashes on his face as he is able to maintain his consciousness.)
Thadd Blazevich: Dude, I thought Miku Sakai had it. With the fall both of her opponents took, I can see why she thought that would’ve been it.
Persephone: Miku Sakai drags Adam into the corner of the ring before beginning to back up, AND NOW MIKU RUNS IN, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE MUSTACHE RIDE!!!! Adam Lucas is completely out of it. Seriously, is Miku Sakai about to be the next EAW Champion? That’d be terrible.
Rich Russillo: We’ll have to see, but one thing is for certain and it’s that she’s making sure Adam does not have even the slightest bit of time to recover! Miku pulls herself back up, BEFORE BEGINNING TO JUST STOMP AWAY AT ADAM, CONTINUING THE ONSLAUGHT AS ADAM LUCAS IS STILL SUFFERING THE EFFECTS OF WHAT JON KELTON DID TO HIM! THOSE LAST FEW MOMENTS MAY HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR MIKU TO WIN THIS ENTIRE CHAMBER!
Thadd Blazevich: MIKU GOES AND GRABS THE NUNCHUCKS WHILE ADAM GRABS THE ROPES TO TRY AND GET TO HIS KNEES, AND NOW SHE JUST STARTS WHACKING BRO IN THE BACK WITH THE NUNCHUCKS, STABBING HIM OVER AND OVER WITH THE BROKEN GLASS!!! THIS IS BRUTAL, BRO! MIKU SAKAI IS NOT MESSING AROUND, AND ADAM CAN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!!
Persephone: Miku tosses the nunchucks away before going after that baton, AND SHE JUST DRAGS ADAM UP BY THE HAIR BEFORE SMASHING IT ACROSS HIS FACE! MIKU STARTS TO BEAT ADAM WITH THE BATON, BUT SHE ISN’T STOPPING AT THAT, EITHER!!
Rich Russillo: Adam tries to pull himself up with the ropes again, AND MIKU TAKES THE BLADES OF CHAOS, USING THE CHAIN AND SWINGING IT AT ADAM, SLICING HIM IN THE CHEST WITH IT!!! MIKU IS USING EVERY SINGLE WEAPON OF THIS MATCH TO MAKE SURE THAT ADAM STAYS DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!! THIS COULD BE MIKU’S MOMENT!
Thadd Blazevich: MIKU DRAGS ADAM’S HEAD ON TOP OF THAT COOLER BEFORE GRABBING THE BAT, AND NOW SHE SWINGS THE BAT AT ADAM’S HEAD!!!!!
(SMASH!)
Rich Russillo: ADAM GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND MIKU PRETTY MUCH JUST DESTROYED THE COOLER WITH THAT SWING!!!! ADAM MIGHT’VE LITERALLY SAVED HIS LIFE RIGHT THERE, AND NOW HE GRABS MIKU FROM BEHIND, PICKING HER UP BEFORE DELIVERING A BACK SUPLEX DROP ONTO HER OWN COOLER!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: Adam immediately collapsed to a knee after that, and I can’t really blame him for that, bro. He just lost even more blood than he already did, and remember, he started the match! It’s insane that Adam even made it this far.
Persephone: Adam pushes himself up before dragging Miku back up, AND NOW HE THROWS MIKU INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: LEVEL UP!!!
Thadd Blazevich: CUCK KILLER!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM POPPED MIKU UP, BUT MIKU TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH THE CUCK KILLER, TAKING ADAM DOWN WITH THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER!!!! MIKU DID IT!!! SHE LANDED THE FINISHING BLOW!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN, BUT MIKU IS SLOWLY PULLING HERSELF OVER TOWARDS ADAM!! MIKU IS FATIGUED, BUT SHE’S DOING HER BEST TO MAKE IT TO ADAM!!!
Persephone: SHE IS ABLE TO GET AN ARM OVER ADAM!!! OH MY GOD, THAT’S ACTUALLY IT!!! WE’RE ABOUT TO HAVE THE WORST EAW WORLD CHAMPION POSSIBLE!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT????? NO WAY!!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: ADAM LUCAS WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!!!
Persephone: IT WASN’T BY MUCH, BUT HE GOT HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT RIGHT BEFORE THREE!!! WE’RE SAVED!!! MIKU SAKAI ISN’T EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!! Then again, Adam Lucas isn’t much better.
Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai can’t believe it. She threw everything she had at Adam, but I think taking so long to get to the cover might’ve cost her. At the same time you can’t blame her, as she was another early participant and has been through a lot in this match!
Thadd Blazevich: Miku starts getting back up, and bro, she almost looked depressed seeing that kickout! She starts dragging Adam back up, AND SHE JUST STARTS TO HIT ADAM WITH ELBOWS, ONE AFTER ANOTHER!
Persephone: I think it’s safe to say Miku is out of ideas. She used all of the weapons, she used her finishing move. None of that worked, so now she’s just beating Adam up and hoping for the best.
Rich Russillo: Well, if it works, it works! Miku is so close that Championship she wants, knowing she earned this spot in this match, and this could be her chance to finally win it! Miku with forearm after forearm-
Thadd Blazevich: BUT ADAM PUNCHES HER IN THE SIDE!!! MIKU RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM THOUGH, AND NOW ADAM GOES FOR ANOTHER PUNCH! THERE’S MIKU WITH ANOTHER FOREARM, BUT ADAM GOES FOR ANOTHER PUNCH! THESE TWO ARE LITERALLY JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Wait a second, though. That last punch just made Miku seriously wince in pain. That was a weird way to react, but I guess all the damage must be taking a toll on her or something.
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU PUNCHES ADAM, DROPPING HIM TO ALL FOURS! I think Miku was able to get the better of that exchange, which is good as she is clearly starting to run out of gas. Miku grabs Adam before starting to drag him up…
Thadd Blazevich: But, wait… Bros, what’s wrong with Miku?
(As Miku Sakai starts trying to drag Adam Lucas up, she suddenly finds a much harder time pulling him up than before. She thinks nothing of it initially, assuming the fatigue is just getting to her. However, it takes only seconds for that assumption to change, as she slowly begins losing her balance. This causes some internal panic, as Miku frantically begins looking around, only to realize exactly what the problem was.)
(It turns out, Adam Lucas did have a weapon all along.)
(That weapon was a syringe full of propofol, which has now been injected into her side.)
Rich Russillo: WHAT!? MIKU JUST… SHE JUST FELL TO HER KNEES!!!
Thadd Blazevich: DUDE, MIKU JUST COLLAPSED!!! DON’T TELL ME, DID ADAM STAB HER WITH THE SYRINGE DURING THAT WHOLE EXCHANGE!?!?
Persephone: I did point out how weird it was for Miku to wince like that over a punch. Not my fault the camera didn’t catch the syringe.
(Adam Lucas slowly but surely pushes himself back to his feet, and the faint grin he had at the beginning of the final two returns, knowing that the risk he took in withholding his weapon for so long actually paid off.)
(Adam pulls the syringe out of Miku now that the propofol has taken effect, and he begins to viciously stab Miku in the back repeatedly with the empty syringe, all while the fans in attendance are just stunned.)
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS JUST STABBED MIKU IN THE BACK WITH THAT SYRINGE MORE TIMES THAN I COULD EVEN KEEP UP WITH, AND I DON’T THINK THAT WAS FOR NO REASON!!! ADAM MADE SURE HE DID AS MUCH DAMAGE AS HE COULD, BEFORE FINALLY HE SENDS MIKU INTO THE ROPES!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: LEVEL UP!!!!!
Persephone: ADAM LUCAS CONNECTS WITH LEVEL UP, BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE!!! ADAM IMMEDIATELY DRAGS MIKU SAKAI BACK UP, SENDING HER INTO THE ROPES BEFORE POPPING HER UP FOR A SECOND TIME!!!
Rich Russillo: AND ADAM PLANTS MIKU SAKAI WITH A SECOND LEVEL UP, BEFORE FINALLY COLLAPSING INTO THE COVER, PUTTING AN END TO THIS EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… Here is your winner… AAAANNNDDDDD STTIILLLLLLL THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, AAAAAAADDDDDDAAAAMMMMMMMMMM LLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCAAASSSSS!!!!!!!
(The fans are booing as loud as they can, overshadowing both the announcement and ‘Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)’ as it begins to play. Adam Lucas slowly rolls off of Miku Sakai, but he remains laid out on the mat for a while. He is tired, covered in blood and bruises and more from having to start the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Adam has a smile on his face though, ignoring the boos as everything ultimately worked out in his favor.)
Rich Russillo: Wow. That was an unreal Extreme Elimination Chamber, but the reaction to that ending says it all. It’s not often that the fans rally behind Miku Sakai, but I don’t think anyone expected such a crazy turn of events, or a plan that relied on Adam making it through this entire Chamber without using his weapon!
Thadd Blazevich: Well, I can see why bro saved it! He could only use it at its fullest once, and he knew that if he could make it to the final two, he’d have the perfect opportunity to guarantee a win! It was smart, but dude… Not cool.
Persephone: I’m just glad this Chamber wasn’t terrible. I was worried when it started with the most underwhelming two options possible when it comes to weapons, but this was basically a bloodbath.
(The Chamber door is opened, and an official comes in to hand Adam the EAW World Championship. Adam slowly makes his way to his feet, stumbling around as he struggles to even stand. Still, he raises his Championship as his hand is raised, bringing about even more boos.)
Rich Russillo: This was a fantastic match. Everyone did everything in their power to win, but ultimately, it came down to an excellent move from Adam Lucas. Congratulations to Adam Lucas, who retains the EAW World Championship to end his year!
(The boos continue as Adam Lucas slowly circles the ring, taking in the hostile reaction as he continues to raise his Championship. Finally, Adam stands in the center of the ring, giving the fans one final shot to remember, as he ends Road to Redemption raising his EAW World Championship.)
(Until… ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI hits.)
Rich Russillo: WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
Thadd Blazevich: BRO, DON’T TELL ME, IS IT ACTUALLY TIME!?!?!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS JUST MADE IT THROUGH AN ENTIRE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER! THIS IS THE LAST THING HE NEEDED TO HEAR RIGHT NOW!!!
(Hans Grayson begins walking out to the stage, and the crowd explodes with cheers as he is seen carrying his Cash in the Vault briefcase. He has a focused look on his face, walking down the ramp as he stares at Adam Lucas. Adam doesn’t look happy whatsoever. He gave everything he had to that Chamber. He started the match and made it all the way to the end. He already utilized the syringe, and at this point he knew he didn’t have much left. Still, he had no choice but to watch as Hans Grayson walked down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: I THINK IT’S TIME!!! HANS GRAYSON MADE IT CLEAR LAST NIGHT THAT HE WAS DONE WITH DRAKE ARMSTRONG, AND NOW THAT HE HANDLED HIS BUSINESS, IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TURNING HIS ATTENTION TO WHAT HE WANTED ALL ALONG!
Thadd Blazevich: WELL IF THERE WAS ANY TIME TO DO IT, IT’S NOW!!! WE KNOW THE HISTORY CASH-INS HAVE AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION! THERE’S A REASON PEOPLE ALWAYS PICK THIS TIME TO DO IT!!!
(Hans enters the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and he walks up to the referee before saying just a few words, offering the briefcase to the referee.)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) I’m cashing in.
Thadd Blazevich: YOU WERE RIGHT! IT’S TIME!!! HANS GRAYSON IS CASHING IN!!!!
Persephone: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I DON’T LIKE ADAM LUCAS, BUT I DON’T WANT HANS GRAYSON AS WORLD CHAMPION, EITHER!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS CAN’T DO ANYTHING BUT MENTALLY PREPARE HIMSELF, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE’S STRUGGLING TO EVEN STAND!!! HANS IS GIVING HIS BRIEFCASE TO THE REFEREE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S TIME!!!
(The referee goes to grab the briefcase, as everyone in attendance prepares for the impromptu EAW World Championship match.)
(However, it does not happen.)
Persephone: ?????
Rich Russillo: WHAT? WHO IS THAT!?!?
Thadd Blazevich: WHAT’S GOING ON???? A BUNCH OF HOODED PEOPLE JUST STORMED INTO THE CHAMBER, AND ONE OF THEM JUST TACKLED HANS GRAYSON!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE PEOPLE ARE ALL OVER HANS, BUT WHY??? WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW!?!?
(The person that tackled Hans gets to his feet, and the entire mob of people begin to stomp away at Hans Grayson, all while Hans can do nothing but desperately clutch onto his briefcase, unsure of why this is happening to him, or who this is attacking him. The fans in attendance can’t believe their eyes, unsure of what to even think.)
(The camera briefly cuts to Adam Lucas, revealing that even Adam doesn’t know what’s going on. He stays out of it, just watching with his guard up as the brutal attack on Hans continues.)
Thadd Blazevich: HANS IS LITERALLY GETTING STOMPED OUT RIGHT NOW!! I DON’T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, BUT THEY CLEARLY HAVE SOME SERIOUS BEEF WITH MY GUY HANS!!! HANS MIGHT’VE BEEN ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING WORLD CHAMP, BUT I THINK THAT WAS JUST RUINED!!!
Persephone: THE HOODED PEOPLE GRAB HANS, THROWING HIM OUT OF THE RING!! Hans stumbles and tries to get back up, BUT THEY KICK HANS OUT OF THE RING, BEFORE QUICKLY RUSHING BACK IN AND CONTINUING TO JUST ELBOW AND STOMP AWAY AT HANS!
Rich Russillo: ONE OF THEM GRAB HANS BY THE HEAD, SLAMMING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD INTO THE FLOOR AS THE STOMPS CONTINUE!!!
(Hans turns over onto his stomach, preventing them from attacking his face as the remaining stomps target his back. However, one of the individuals grab Hans by the arm, which was desperately holding onto the briefcase. One of the others pull the briefcase away from Hans, and while Hans’ arm is still being held by one of the attackers, two words can be heard.)
???: Break it.
(SNAP!)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
(Hans Grayson can be heard letting out a scream that traumatizes the fans in attendance, haunting the entire crowd as his arm is violently broken by the attacker. After this the camera cuts to the stage, revealing exactly who gave the command.)
(Drake Armstrong.)
(Drake Armstrong is walking down the ramp with a microphone in his hand, but that’s not all. He is holding his King of Elite crown, and he has a cold look on his face as he just makes his way down the ramp.)
(The fans can’t even boo. While they may hate Drake Armstrong more than ever right now, they’re too shaken up by what just happened to Hans Grayson to even react.)
(Adam Lucas is leaning against the ropes, still fatigued by the match he was in tonight. However, he is also taken aback by what he just witnessed, and is basically speechless despite knowing that he was just “saved” from a cash-in. Drake Armstrong makes his way into the Chamber, glancing at Hans for only a moment before shaking his head. Drake twirls his crown as he turns his attention to Adam Lucas, beginning to speak.)
Drake Armstrong: Next week at Festival of Lights, you’ll be defending the EAW World Championship against me. I’ll see you then.
(Those are all the words that are needed, as there is a brief staredown between the King of Elite and the exhausted EAW World Champion, who is unable to even show much of a reaction to what was just said. Satisfied with what he has done, Drake Armstrong just turns around, beginning to walk back out of the Chamber.)
Rich Russillo: ….
Thadd Blazevich: :lupe:
(Adam Lucas remains in the ring, and he just looks at his World Championship for a moment, before staring back at Drake Armstrong, knowing that he now has only one week to prepare himself for another Championship defense, even after everything he went through tonight.)
Persephone: That was great. Not often we see broken bones around here.
Rich Russillo: “Great” is not the word I’d use there. Hans was about to cash in to become the EAW World Champion, but with what was just done to him, there’s no telling if he’ll get to cash in at all.
Thadd Blazevich: Meanwhile, Drake just used the opportunity he made to cash in himself. We’re about to get Drake Armstrong versus Adam Lucas for the EAW World Championship at Festival of Lights, but dude, I don’t know if I’m excited right now.
Rich Russillo: I think the fans feel the same way. We have a huge Championship match coming up, but this show doesn’t feel like it’s ending on a positive note. Not after what Drake Armstrong just did to Hans Grayson.
(The entire medical team rushes out, running down the ramp to tend to Hans Grayson, who is holding onto his arm in pain. Hans is clearly hurt, to the point he can’t even get back to his feet. Adam Lucas processes everything that just happened, including the fact that he’ll be defending his Championship next week. Meanwhile, Drake Armstrong walks up the ramp, having made a statement at his own former War Games teammate’s expense as Road to Redemption comes to a haunting close.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
