(EAW Intro Plays)
(The screen is black. One can hear the sound of insects humming in the distance. A worn VHS tape crackles to life. Tracking lines distort the image before revealing an empty boardwalk along the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. The vibrant city is eerily deserted. The ocean crashes against the shore as something metallic drags across the pavement.)
(A whisper echoes through the darkness.)
???: Every summer… someone doesn’t make it home.
(The tape skips when suddenly a knife flashes across the screen. A championship belt glistens beneath a crimson light. A steel cage door slams shut. Then we can hear the curdling sounds of someone screaming. Then some creepy music explodes as an electric guitar rendition roars to life as the picture snaps into modern clarity. Helicopters soar over Rio de Janeiro, fireworks erupt around the skyline, and the iconic Christ the Redeemer overlooks a city preparing for absolute carnage.
??” Tonight, the beaches become battlegrounds, these streets transform into a hunting preserve, because in the 20th year of the EAW, Showdown writes the first bloody chapter of a brand-new season.
???: Live from a sold-out Farmarsi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, EAW Showdown presents a night where every rivalry ends the same way, covered in scars. At first we see FOUR of the brightest and youngest competitors enter. Only one survives with the opportunity of a lifetime.”
(The footage transitions to scenes of Sofia Drakos. Trae Brooks. Wynter Kurayami. Grace De Luca in action.)
???: An elimination war where the winner earns the right to challenge for the New Breed Championship, while the rest are left wondering what could have been. Then there is Six competitors in three-on-three warfare.
(It now has footage of Diego Montana, Circe & KELIN as they collide with The Jones Bros. & Tafae Toa)
???: All in a battle where teamwork will be tested, tempers shall explode, and somebody’s summer is destined to end in disaster. But that is not all, TWO legends and one defining opportunity. The road toward championship glory continues.
(The scene switches to Rex McAllister as he faces Impact with an Answers World Championship Contenders Match hanging in the balance.)
???: Decades of excellence collide as only one icon moves one step closer to championship gold. There are those that call these “Endless” and the war against Silas Mason refuses to die.
(There is footage of Damien Kutcher and Halsey Neel stand united against Silas World, looking to dismantle the empire that has poisoned Showdown.)
???: But Silas Mason always has a plan… and tonight may be his deadliest one yet. Three competitors after ONE championship. Infinite ambition as the National Elite Championship is up for grabs.
(It transitions to Akari Kiyoko, Mia Santoro, and Clayton Golde who are set to collide for the title.)
??? They will risk everything for championship immortality in a match where one mistake changes everything. Yet, where does honor meet brutality under Mexican Lucha Libre Style Rules?
(It shows Cody Maverick stepping into dangerous territory against El Duque, accompanied by the ever-manipulative Silas Mason.)
???: Tradition, violence, and pride collide in a contest where there are no shortcuts to victory. Yet what if you are put in an environment where there are No tags. No escapes. No mercy. The chaos reaches another level when four Elitists at the top of Showdown collide.
(The scene switches to Pandora Paisley and Jon Kelton collide with Veena Adams and Milli Banks the team of Kute & Kunty in a Texas Tornado Match)
???: Yes, where every competitor is legal from the opening bell and absolute mayhem is all but guaranteed. Then… the bad blood reaches its ultimate climax. Steel surrounds the ring as the door locks where there is nowhere left to run. For the Answers World Championship.
(Transitioning to Bea Valentine defends against the relentless Joso inside a Steel Cage Match.)
???: Pride, championships, and careers hang in the balance as these two bitter rivals enter a structure designed not to protect, but to trap.
(The lights throughout Farmarsi Arena suddenly flicker. The arena falls silent. One by one the locker room doors slam shut as a trail of crimson stains the hallway backstage. The camera slowly follows it until everything goes black. Silence.
???: This isn’t just another marquee event, oh no, for this is where rivalries become horror stories, champions become prey, dreams are slaughtered and only the strongest live to tell the tale. EAW SHOWDOWN PRESENTS… MIDSUMMER MASSACRE! The first Marquee Live Event of the season… starts NOW!
(The scene fades to black)
???: AND NOW EAW, NEW BALANCE AND INSIDIOUS PRESENT THE SHOWDOWN EXCLUSIVE 2026….. MIDSUMMER MASSACRE!
(The camera pans over the Farmarsi Arena as the crowd goes wild, they are standing on their feet cheering loudly for the first EAW Marquee Live Event of the season. The scene transitions to the commentating team of Deadprez, Sienna Swann, and Gavin Kikrland.)
Deadprez: SEASON 20 IS AMONG US AND THIS IS THE FIRST MARQUEE LIVE EVENT OF THE YEAR! WE ARE GOING TO START IT OFF WITH A BANG AS THIS IS SHOWDOWN’S MIDUMMER MASSACRE!

(Suddenly Gavin Kikrland is interrupted AS “Pins & Needles” by The Birthday Massacre starts to play. The crowd jumps to their feet and start to cheer, some boo as Gavin looks toward the entrance way.)
Gavin Kirkland: WE ARE NOT GOING TO WASTE ANYMORE TIME WITH OUR OPENING MATCH! HERE COMES CIRCE!!!!! HERE COMES CIRCE!!!!!!!
Deadprez: GINA ROMANO! TAKE IT AWAY!!!!
(The graphic for the first matches flashes as the crowd roars to kick off Midsummer Massacre.)
(Circe slowly walks out and looks at the sellout crowd, dressed in her devilish Harley Quinn outfit carrying a huge mallet. She starts to smile and giggle before skipping down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SIX-PERSON ANYTHING GOES MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING TEAM NUMBER ONE! FIRST FROM BUCHAREST, ROMANIA! WEIGHING IN AT 115 LBS.! SHE IS “THE PRETTY LITTLE DEVIL” CIRCE!
(She gets a mixed reaction as Circe continues to skip to the ring and stops by the announce table, it is her first Showdown Marquee Live Event and stands on the table and looks around at the crowd before laughing while chewing gum.)
Gavin Kikrland: WE ARE SURROUNDED RIGHT NOW BUT A FUTURE STAR HERE! SHE MADE IT TO THE EAW AND KNOW DAMN WELL SHE HAS THE PEDIGREE TO BE JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN MINERVA!
Sienna Swann: I can agree with you on that Sweetie, she is devilish, dangerous, and doesn’t want to wait! Circe is here to make an impact and name for herself!
Deadprez: She is deceiving dawg! DO NOT let her size and looks fool you! She is someone that has already shown that she can mix with the best, all she has to do is crack that glass ceiling and in EAW, she WILL!
(Circe squats down and winks at Deadprez, then turns to Gavin, takes the gm out of her mouth and shoves it in his, before hopping off and sliding into the ring. Gavin happily chews it.)
Sienna Swann: Like…. Ewww! Are you really chewing her gum!?
Gavin Kirkland: IT TASTES SO GOOD!
Deadprez: SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK!
(Circe sits on the tope rope as her them dies down as ‘AY DIEGUITO’ by CALLE 24 hits to heavy boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And her partners… First from Arlington, Texas, he is the “Hardest Ese Ever” DIEGOOOOOOOOO MONTANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(Diego Montana makes his way to the ring to reunite with his beloved Circe ignoring the insults and jeers from the crowd. However, as he gets to ringside he can’t control his rage any longer and crashes out getting into arguments with trolling fans at ringside.)
Deadprez: Diego Montana and Circe are out to prove they are the true power couple here in EAW. They are definitely off to a great start and with the man they have in their corner this roll could easily continue.
Gavin Kirkland: Diego Montana got a win at Pain for Pride and is looking for two in a row here tonight. His dominance would no longer be able to be denied if he and Circe can pick up a fat W here tonight.
Sienna Swann: I’m not sure what she sees in him to be honest. I think she could do better. There’s plenty of better fish in the sea girlfriend.
( ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ by Clispe, Pusha T and Malice hits!!! )
Gina Romano: And from Dallas, Texas he is “The War Artist” KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIN!!!!
(Kelin struts out slowly down to the ring as the crowd is silenced in awe of his aura and presence.)
Deadprez: Out of everyone on the Showdown roster this guy has to be making even hardened veterans backstage in the locker room shake in their boots. Ever since his arrival in EAW the entire world has been put on notice.
Gavin Kirkland: He is definitely a dominant figure to be watched. It is only a matter of time before we see if he has the same impact here in EAW as he has elsewhere throughout his long career. The War Artist is determined to paint the ring red with the blood of the fallen…
Sienna Swann: But why is he teaming up with Diego? Is Diego such a little pussy bitch that he can’t defend his woman on his own? That’s some real beta behavior there sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: I would defend you with my life Sienna.
Sienna Swann: Gavin the last time creepy wrestlers attacked us backstage you hid behind a production crate while I beat their asses single handedly. Please don’t speak again sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: You said you weren’t gonna mention that on air…
( ‘National Treasure’- Drake hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: And their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Malik Al-Farouq… they are the team of ADONIS JONES… ARTEMIS JONES… AND TAFAE TOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(The crowd erupts into cheers as the Jones Brothers appear in the crowd yeeting to the music.)

(The Jones Brothers hops up onto the commentary table to YEET with Gavin Kirkland.)

Deadprez: Gavin stop! You’re going to hurt yourself!
Gavin Kirkland: I’m fine Dead… AHH-
(Gavin Kirkland falls off the table towards Sienna Swann.)
Sienna Swann: EEW!!
(Sienna dives out of the way and Gavin crashes to the ground in pain.)
Deadprez: RIP.
(The Jones Brothers continue to YEET around the arena for over ten minutes. An enthusiastic fan is showing YEETING in Tafae Toa’s face causing him to headbutt them before he hops the barricade and enters the ring.)
Sienna Swann: Damn. Another lawsuit. Gotta have at least one per show.
(Adonis Jones is shown to be heavily gassed by the time he reaches the ring. Breathing heavily from his entrance he can barely roll himself under the ropes to get into the ring.)
Deadprez: I think bro is going to have a heart attack.
Gavin Kirkland: Owww… Sienna why didn’t you catch me?
Sienna Swann: Not my job sweetie.
(The music fades as the match is set to begin the crowd is hyped with anticipation.)
Crowd: YEET! YEET! YEET!
(Circe, Diego Montana, and Kelin stand ready in their corner as the referee enters the ring to call for the bell.)

Crowd: YEET! YEET! YEET!
(Adonis Jones enters the ring to start the match off against Diego Montana.)
Crowd: YEET! YEET! YEET!

(‘National Treasure’- Drake hits as the Jones Brothers hit the turnbuckles yet again to YEET with the crowd. Adonis Jones suddenly appears to be revitalized of energy as he bounces from each turnbuckle hyping up the crowd. Artemis Jones is shown crowd surfing in the front row as the music continues to play for over seven more minutes.)
Gavin Kirkland: Is the match going to begin?
Sienna Swann: Kendrick better.
Deadprez: Come on y’all. Get into it! These fans love the Jones Brothers!!!
(The music finally fades away as the Jones Brothers hop back into the ring. Malik Al-Farouq is shown telling Adonis Jones that he is NOT starting the match. Tafae Toa has DEMANDED that he be the one to start the match.)
Adonis Jones: (off-mic) That ain’t cool uce!
Artemis Jones: (off-mic) WE gotta give the people what they want to see!
Adonis Jones: (off-mic) Gotta welcome em to the JONES PENITENTIARY!!!
Malik Al-Farouq: (off-mic) Get the HELL out of Tafae Toa’s ring!
(Diego Montana and Circe are shown reclining on the ring ropes yawning in the corner as they wait for what feels like half the show for this match to begin.)
Sienna Swann: I just heard that EAW’s corporate owners have cut a women’s match from the show because of how long this is taking.
Deadprez: Alright it looks like we are finally about to begin the matc-

(Sienna Swann is shown reaching for a pistol in her handbag under the commentary table.)
Deadprez: LOOK OUT!!!
(The music comes to a sudden halt as the Jones Brothers are assaulted from behind by Circe and Diego Montana who throw them out of the ring. Kelin and Tafae Toa step into the ring to confront each other as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Oh shit. This is what I have been waiting for.
(Kelin and Tafae Toa stare each other down in the middle of the ring sizing each other up.)
Gavin Kirkland: The meatiest men in all of Showdown are about to collide! I don’t know if the ring can contain them! Just like I don’t know if this commentary table can contain Big Gavin’s meat!
Sienna Swann: It better. :ufdup:
Deadprez: Tafae Toa and Kelin stare at each other as the crowd is rising in anticipation. They are hyped for this moment and things are about to break down at any minute!
Gavin Kirkland: They suddenly slam their skulls together at high speed! They fall backwards from the force into the ropes! They giving themselves CTE headbutting each other like that!
Sienna Swann: But the collision has only pissed them off! They pull themselves off the ropes and rush in at each other again! Kelin ducks beneath and it only pisses Tafae Toa off who charges in with a Superkick!!!-
Deadprez: Kelin grabs the leg and pulls Tafae Toa in for an Exploder Suplex!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: But Tafae pulls himself out of the maneuver back up to his feet and begins slamming his elbow hard into the skull of Kelin. Kelin barely feels those shots despite the ferocity they are being thrown at!
Sienna Swann: Kelin with a Big Boot to the head of Tafae Toa!-
Deadprez: No! Tafae moved out of the way and Kelin kicked over the top rope! Kelin crotches himself on the top rope and falls out to the outside landing on his feet.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin is not happy! Tafae got the better of him there and he is stomping his way back up to the ring apron to get back into the action!-
Sienna Swann: But Tafae Toa rushes the ring apron to grab him as soon as he gets up there! Tafae Toa is going for a Belly to Belly Suplex on Kelin from the apron to toss him back into the ring! Ain’t no way he gonna get him up right? He’s strong but is he even really that strong?!?!
Deadprez: Tafae Toa pulls back! But Kelin wraps his arms around Tafae as well and is trying to throw him backwards over the top rope to the outside! That would be even worse! He might land on his damn neck and break it!
Gavin Kirkland: We have a tug of war situation here! Kelin pulling Tafae up towards the outside! But Tafae pulls back and is now dragging Kelin over the ropes and into the ring! The crowd is pulling for the War Artist!
Crowd: KELIN! KELIN! KELIN!
Sienna Swann: KELIN IS EMPOWERED BY THE CROWD AND GIVES TAFAE TOA A FINAL THROW!!! TAFAE IS LIFTED OVER THE TOP ROPE OMG SWEETIE LOOK OUT!!!
(CRASH!!!)
Deadprez: TAFAE TOA IS FLUNG FORWARD OVER THE TOP ROPE FLIPPED OVER BACKWARDS AND SENT FLYING ACROSS THE FLOOR BY KELIN!! HE WENT FAR ENOUGH HE ALMOST LANDED ON THE MAT!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin just showed why he is not one to be fucked with. Kelin now senses the blood in the water as he stalks Tafae Toa towards the ramp. The Jones Bros are shook!
(The Jones Brothers are shown side eyeing events as the big man of their team was just seemingly neutralized before their eyes and they might have to get into the ring with Kelin at this rate.)
Sienna Swann: The War Artist has not finished painting his canvas! He climbs on top of Tafae Toa on the ramp and begins laying into him with repeated punches to the face! Kelin is unleashing on Tafae who is taking a real beating here!
(Tafae’s manager Malik Al-Farouq is shown flipping out at seeing his client taking such punishment.)
Deadprez: Malik rushes in at Kelin at ringside!!!
Kelin: ???
Malik Al-Farouq: :whoa: !!!
(Malik Al-Farouq thinks better of attacking Kelin and flees in terror.)
Gavin Kirkland: Bro what were you even thinking of doing there?
Sienna Swann: Well he bought his client some time. Tafae Toa is getting back up as Kelin turns back to him! Kelin pounds him hard on the back with a clubbing blow!
Deadprez: But Tafae fights through the pain back to his feet and hits a hard double handed chop to the chest of Kelin! Kelin falls backwards towards the ring as Tafae rushes in with a forearm to the skull. Kelin catches him by the arm and headbutts him hard in the head. Tafae falls backwards into the steel ring steps. Tafae picks up the ring steps with ease and hurls them at Kelin!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: But Kelin catches the ring steps! Kelin with the ring steps as he climbs up to the apron and prepares to slam them into the skull of Tafae!!!-
Sienna Swann: But Tafae Toa with a Superkick to the steel ring steps being held by Kelin! The weight of the ring steps sends Kelin falling backwards over the top rope into the ring! Kelin flips over into the ring landing on the ring steps hard!
(The referee is shown trying to get the ring steps out of the ring but lacks the physique necessary to lift such a heavy object. So he gives up and just warns the wrestlers sternly not to use them as a weapon lest they be DQ’d.)
Deadprez: Tafae Toa rushes the ring as Kelin gets back up and slams into him with a Running Knee Strike! Kelin just got laid out by Tafae! Tafae with the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: Damn. Not even a one count. Kelin kicked out immediately and with authority!
Sienna Swann: Tafae Toa with repeated strikes to Kelin trying to keep him down! But Kelin powers back up to his feet! Tafae grabs Kelin by the hair and drags him over to the corner slamming his head repeatedly into the turnbuckle! Tafae gaining momentum here as he does some serious damage to Kelin’s skull.
(Circe and Diego Montana are shown thinking of entering the ring to assist Kelin but after being glares at by Tafae they back down and think better of it.)
Gavin Kirkland: You all should probably just let these two fight it out. Wait your turns patiently and maybe they will let you wrestle too if they are feeling generous.
Deadprez: Tafae Toa backs up across the ring as Kelin recovers in the corner. Tafae then screams loudly before wildly rushing in with a Hip Thrust into the corner crushing Kel-
Gavin Kirkland: No! Kelin gets a boot up and kicks Tafae hard in the back of the skull as he rushes in! Tafae falls forward in the ring and Kelin bounces off the ropes to hit a Guillotine Leg Drop! Kelin now driving his knee down hard into Tafae’s skull trying to do as much damage as possible but Tafae just begins getting up as if he is not even feeling any of this!
Sienna Swann: Tafae punches Kelin who shrugs it off and laughs before chopping the chest of Tafae hard. Tafae with a chop of his own! They are battling back and forth! KELIN! TAFAE! KELIN! TAFAE! KELIN! TAFAE!
Deadprez: Kelin suddenly picks up Tafae Toa over his head with impressive strength!!
Gavin Kirkland: SAMOAN DROP CONNECTS!!!!!!!
Sienna Swann: I don’t think Kelin is allowed to use that move against a Samoan wrestler. This seems racist to me sweetie.
Deadprez: You can let him know you think that after the match.
Sienna Swann: I’m good.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin with the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Sienna Swann: But again not even a one count! Tafae Toa is unstoppable! He immediately gets back up and hits Kelin with a Superkick! Kelin falls backwards into the corner as Tafae runs in with a Somersault Senton into the corner! Tafae got all of it! Kelin moves out to the apron as Tafae grabs him!
Deadprez: But Kelin leaps over the top rope with a Springboard Clothesline!!! Kelin just slammed into Tafae like a semi truck as he falls for yet another cover!
Referee: O-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT TAFAE TOA WILL NOT STAY DOWN! HE IMMEDIATELY GETS BACK UP AND BEGINS HEADBUTTING KELIN!
Kelin: (off-mic) :wtf:
Sienna Swann: Kelin is getting tired of this unprofessional jackass Tafae Toa no-selling his moves.
Deadprez: I legitimately don’t know if you can hurt either of these two superhuman individuals. Tafae Toa with a thumb to the eye! But Kelin grabs the thumb of Tafae and bites it hard forcing him to pull his hand back!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin now repeatedly lighting up the chest of Tafae Toa with hard chops! He’s laying into him as Tafae falls back into the corner. Tafae bursts out of the corner-
Sienna Swann: BUT KELIN CHARGES IN WITH THE IMPALEMENT!!! HE GOT ALL OF IT!!!
(But Tafae Toa gets back up and drops Kelin with a body slam out of nowhere!!!)
Adonis Jones: (off-mic) Let me handle this uce!!!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: ADONIS JONES ENTERS THE RING AS HE CHARGES IN AT KELIN WITH KELIN’S OWN MANEUVER!!! THE IMPALEMENT CONNECTS!!!
( https://c.tenor.com/ECZQJLpBw_0AAAAd/tenor.gif )
Gavin Kirkland: Damn.
Sienna Swann: :mjlol:
Deadprez: A colossal match ending failure by Adonis Jones there! Tafae Toa looks pissed off that he was tagged out! Kelin immediately takes control of the match as he picks up Adonis Jones and drops him on his skull with a Tombstone Piledriver! Kelin then picks Adonis up and slams him back down to the mat with a Spin-out Powerbomb! Kelin to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: ….
Referee: …..
Deadprez: But Artemis Jones rushes the ring to break it up! I think that might have actually been a three count if he had not interfered!
Gavin Kirkland: But now Artemis Jones must deal with the War Artist himself!!
(An enraged Kelin turns on Artemis Jones staring him down in the ring.)
Deadprez: Kelin with the IMPALEMENT ON ARTEMIS JONES!!! KELIN IS NOT FUCKING AROUND!!!
(SLAM!)
Gavin Kirkland: But neither is Tafae Toa! Tafae just came leaping in with a Flying Headbutt out of nowhere taking out Kelin with force!!!
Deadprez: Tafae Toa just laid out Kelin sending him flying across the ring into his corner. Diego Montana reaches over and makes the tag at Circe’s urging that he get in the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Diego Montana now rushing the ring as Tafae Toa charges in after him. But the referee is standing in the way and ordering him to leave the ring as he is the illegal man!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Sienna Swann: But Tafae Toa just laid out the referee with a headbutt! Tafae just annihilated the referee and Diego Montana is shook!
Deadprez: Tafae Toa lunges at Diego Montana and begins stomping away at him into the corner. Tafae throws Diego high up into the air and catches him before dropping him down with a Samoan Drop! APAI!!! The cover!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But this dumbass just took out the referee! And he’s not even the legal man in the match!
Adonis Jones: (off-mic) Hey Tafae… you should know something important uce…
Sienna Swann: But Tafae Toa isn’t interested in listening! Circe is now entering the ring with a steel chair!
(CLANG!)
Deadprez: Circe just bounced the steel chair off the skull of Tafae Toa!
(Tafae Toa shrugs as he stands up and turns around glaring down at Circe with rage.)
(CLANG! CLANG!)
Gavin Kirkland: The chair bounces twice off the skull of Tafae Toa but he continues down on Circe as he grabs her around the throat and tackles her down to the mat!
Sienna Swann: This man gotta have like an extra layer of blubber around his brain or some shit. How the fuck is he still moving…
Deadprez: But Diego Montana lunges onto the back of Tafae Toa and begins choking him out as he tries to get him off! But here comes Adonis Jones!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adonis Jones runs in with a Superkick kicking Diego off Tafae Toa!!! Tafae turns around-
Sienna Swann: THE IMPALEMENT CONNECTS!!!
Deadprez: Kelin is back up and he just laid out Tafae Toa! Somehow that had more of an effect than the chairshots… But not much as Tafae is already rolling to the outside of the ring and back to his feet! Kelin looks around as he runs to the side of the ring-
Gavin Kirkland: KELIN LEAPS OFF THE APRON WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TAKING TAFAE TOA DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE!!!
Sienna Swann: Kelin dealing with Tafae Toa on the outside as Circe is helping Diego Montana back up and realizing now that they are in the ring alone with the Jones Brothers!
Deadprez: Diego Montana and Adonis Jones the two legal participants in the match run in towards each other. Diego slides under Adonis’ legs and grabs his ankles from behind yanking him down to the mat causing him to land face first.
Gavin Kirkland: Circe and Artemis have gone back to their corners but the referee still hasn’t gotten up yet. Come on now. This is a perfect opportunity to get some cheating in!
Sienna Swann: Don’t encourage them sweetie.
Deadprez: Diego Montana climbs on the back of Adonis Jones and twists him around into a Half Boston Crab. Adonis crawls his way towards the ropes as the referee is slowly getting back up to his feet. Artemis pushes the rope out towards Adonis with his foot before the referee gets back up!
Gavin Kirkland: Adonis grabs the rope with the assist from Artemis! The referee is up just in time to see the rope break!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Sienna Swann: Diego Montana lets go of the hold before dragging Adonis away from his brother into his own corner. He tags in Circe!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Circe enters this match for the first time now as Diego lifts up Adonis alongside her. They connect with a Double Team Flapjack into the middle of the ring! Diego slides out as Circe slides into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: The kickout by Adonis Jones! Circe immediately stomps on Adonis keeping him grounded before applying a side headlock. Circe keeping Adonis under control and away from his partner in the opposite corner by applying a timely rest hold.
(Meanwhile outside the ring Kelin is shown dropping Tafae Toa over the barricade head first before climbing into the crowd to continue fighting him.)
Sienna Swann: These two behemoths cannot even be kept apart when they are not the legal men in the match. They need to get their shit together.
Deadprez: Meanwhile back in the ring Adonis is feeling the energy of the crowd and he is reviving back up to his feet! Circe won’t keep him in that side headlock for much longer!
Crowd: YEET! YEET! YEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Adonis Jones slams his elbow hard into the side of Circe knocking her away from him! Circe rushes in with a Clothesline!!!-
Sienna Swann: But Adonis Jones connects with a Jumping Cutter laying out Circe!!!

Sienna Swann: But Circe grabs him by the leg just in time! Circe drags Adonis all the way across the ring and tags in Diego Montana back into the match! Diego up to the top rope as Circe holds Adonis down!

Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: ….
Deadprez: No! Adonis Jones managed to kick out just in time! That was close! Diego almost had the match won! I don’t want to live in a world where Diego is on a FPV winning streak… Pain for Pride was bad enough…
Gavin Kirkland: That sounds like hatred to me Dead… But Diego is showing just why he is the Elitist to watch this season! Diego looking to take advantage now of Adonis being flattened like a pancake as he drags him back to his corner and heads up to the top rope again!
Diego Montana: (off-mic) YOU WON’T KICK OUT AGAIN PENDEJO! GET FUCKED BITCH ASS UCE!
Sienna Swann: DIEGO MONTANA OFF THE TOP YET AGAIN! ANOTHER LATIN LOVER SPLASH!!!!!
Deadprez: FUCK-
Gavin Kirkland: He probably shouldn’t have done the same thing a second time! Adonis Jones gets the knees up! Diego crashes and burns in the most painful manner possible!!
Sienna Swann: Adonis Jones rolls across the ring towards his partner Artemis! He leaps to make the tag!
Deadprez: But Circe is in the ring-
Gavin Kirkland: NO! ADONIS SAW HER COMING AND TURNED AROUND TO LAY HER OUT WITH A SUPERKICK!!!
Sienna Swann: ADONIS FALLS INTO THE CORNER AND SLAPS THE EXTENDED HAND OF HIS BROTHER ARTEMIS!!!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Artemis Jones the freshest man in the match is now in the ring as he rushes in and lays out Circe with a Clothesline sending her flipping over the top rope to the outside!
(Kelin catches a falling Circe as she lands on the outside.)
Circe: (off-mic) Alright put me down big guy!
Kelin: (off-mic) …
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin hurls Circe like a lawn dart into the face of Tafae Toa!
Sienna Swann: Kelin using his own partner as a weapon! I don’t think Circe appreciated that!
Deadprez: Back in the ring Diego is at the mercy of Artemis Jones who comes off the top rope with a Flying Splash!!! Artemis to the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: Not enough! Diego kicks out before three!
Sienna Swann: Artemis Jones stays on him though! His brother Adonis has fallen down on the apron as he gets a well deserved rest from his valiant efforts in the match. What a true hero. What a true man.
Gavin Kirkland: He just like me fr. Artemis Jones applies a Fujiwara Armbar onto Diego Montana in the middle of the ring trying to force him to tap out!
Deadprez: Diego might just tap out too! He has to be getting sick of this match at this point. But if Diego loses here tonight it will make people think his Pain for Pride win was just a fluke! He doesn’t want that!
Sienna Swann: Well I think a lot of people already think that. But anyway… Diego is struggling trying to get to the ropes before Artemis Jones snaps his arm out of the socket.
Gavin Kirkland: Diego tries to flip himself over towards the ropes but his legs are not quite long enough to reach! Diego is struggling to get there- He kicks out trying to maneuver himself over to the ropes!!!-
Deadprez: But Circe enters the ring and kicks Artemis Jones in the face!
Sienna Swann: That is probably the most effective way to counter a submission sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes it is effective as now Circe picks up Artemis Jones and drops him quickly with the oBITCHuary!!! The referee is literally screaming at Circe to get out of the ring!
Referee: (off-mic) GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
Circe: (off-mic) Make me. :nail_care:
Deadprez: Circe throws Diego on top of Artemis Jones and yells at the referee to make the count before moving out to the apron. The referee refuses to count the pin until she leaves to her annoyance.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Sienna Swann: Somehow Artemis Jones kicks out!
Gavin Kirkland: Circe is flipping out on the apron. She thought she had stolen the match and handed it to her man. Diego and Artemis are both out of it on the mat as Kelin and Tafae Toa continue their unending battle outside the ring.
Deadprez: Outside the ring, Kelin picks up Tafae Toa and throws him hard into the ring steps. But Tafae lands on his hands and rolls over them. Tafae then grabs the covering of the EAW announce table and hurls it across the floor at Kelin. Kelin catches it and snaps it in half. He runs up on Tafae and slams both pieces of the table cover into the sides of Tafae’s skull!
Sienna Swann: Tafae Toa falls backwards into the barricade as Kelin backs up. KELIN CHARGES IN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE IMPALEMENT!!!
Deadprez: No! Tafae moved out of the way! Kelin just smashed through the barricade at high speed! Kelin smashes through entering up into the crowd area as he is laid out! Tafae jumps up onto the surviving parts of the barricade!
Sienna Swann: TAFAE TOA LEAPS OFF THE BARRICADE WITH THE UPOLU!!!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: ! TAFAE TOA CRUSHES KELIN IN THE CROWD WITH A MOONSAULT OFF THE BARRICADE!!!
Deadprez: How the fuck does a homie so heavy move like that???
Sienna Swann: Meanwhile back in the ring Circe has entered the ring illegally and is complaining to the ref that it was a three count.
Circe: (off-mic) You can’t count for shit!
Referee: (off-mic) Yes I can! Counting is my job! I learned how in school!
Circe: (off-mic) You need to go back dumbass!
Gavin Kirkland: Wait from behind! Artemis Jones is back up and he takes out Circe with a Superkick!!!-
Deadprez: But Diego Montana is also up! He hits a Low Blow on Artemis Jones from behind! The referee didn’t see it as he was looking away towards Circe!
Sienna Swann: DIEGO WITH A SCHOOL BOY ROLLUP! DIEGO FOR THE STEAL!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Diego pulls the tights!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: No! Not this way!!!
Referee: …
Referee: ….
Referee: …..
Gavin Kirkland: No! Artemis Jones just barely kicked out! Diego Montana thought he had it! He’s celebrating his victory!
(Diego Montana runs over to his corner to give Circe a victory kiss. Circe is just getting up holding her jaw in pain from the Superkick.)
Circe: (off-mic) But… mi amor… the match…
Diego Montana: (off-mic) I won it for US chica! I did it! Just like at Pain for Pride!! Let’s celebrate just like we did after that match!
Circe: (off-mic) :lupe: !!!
Deadprez: But Artemis Jones hits Diego Montana from behind with the Cali Sundown knocking him into Circe! Circe falls off the apron as Diego falls backwards into the arms of Artemis!
Sienna Swann: ARTEMIS JONES LAYS OUT DIEGO MONTANA WITH THE TOUCHDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! ARTEMIS TO THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: IT’S OVER!!!
Referee: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: OR IS IT?!?!
Referee: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: It’s not over! Diego Montana somehow kicked out!
Sienna Swann: Now how the hell did dIeGo MoNtAnA kick out of that sweetie?
Deadprez: Artemis Jones realizes that more must be done! He climbs up to the top rope! Artemis Jones going high risk!
Sienna Swann: Artemis Jones going for the 405 SoCal Splash!!! HE LEAPS!!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: What the?
(SMASH!!!)
Deadprez: Artemis Jones comes off the top with the flying splash! But Tafae Toa is entering the ring! He hopped up on the apron and tagged himself back into the match!!!
Sienna Swann: This is even worse for Diego! Tafae Toa grabs Artemis after he hits the splash and throws his own partner over the top rope to the outside! Now Tafae turns on Diego who is motionless in the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Tafae Toa picks up Diego Montana and drops him with the APAI! Wait here comes Circe flying off the top rope with a Flying Crossbody!!!-
Deadprez: But Tafae Toa catches her as well dropping her with a Samoan Drop as well!
Sienna Swann: Diego Montana tries to avoid Tafae Toa by hiding in the corner but Tafae turns around and sees him.
Diego Montana: (off-mic) Let’s talk about this amigo…
Gavin Kirkland: But Tafae Toa refuses to talk! He charges in with the Corner Cannonball!!! Tafae got all of it crushing Diego!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Wait Kelin is back up! He just climbed up to the apron and reached down over the top rope tagging Diego Montana!
Gavin Kirkland: Good timing by Kelin. Diego was completely fucked there. He would have lost to Tafae Toa for sure. He had no chance at all. It was a guaranteed L no doubt no doubt. Thank you Kelin for saving my goat! :pray:
Sienna Swann: Kelin steps over the top rope into the ring ready to resume his unending clash with Tafae Toa that has raged for nearly this entire matchup.
Gavin Kirkland: KELIN CHARGES IN WITH THE IMPALEMENT!!!-
Deadprez: But Tafae Toa had it scouted! Kelin stops himself before hurling himself out of the ring as he turns back around to grab Tafae Toa. Tafae with a Superkick!!!-
Sienna Swann: But Kelin catches him! Kelin hurls Tafae Toa backwards with an Exploder Suplex!!! Tafae back up-
Gavin Kirkland: KELIN HITS THE IMPALEMENT THIS TIME!!! KELIN PULLS TAFAE UP! HE LIFTS HIM OVER HIS HEAD! HOW THE HELL?!?!
Deadprez: NO MAN LEFT BEHIND CONNECTS!!! KELIN JUST DESTROYED TAFAE TOA! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH TAFAE IS COMPLETELY OUT!!! KELIN HAS THE W! THE COVER!!!
(Malik Al-Farouq is shown flipping out as he jumps up onto the apron. But Kelin ignores him as does the referee and he goes for the cover!)
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE!!!!-
Sienna Swann: Wait what the hell?!?!
(A hooded man is shown jumping the barricade and pulls the referee out of the ring. The hooded man punches out the referee knocking him unconscious on the floor.)
Sienna Swann: Who the hell is that?!?!?
(The hooded man dramatically removes his hood to reveal a young looking Samoan man.)
Sienna Swann: ???
Gavin Kirkland: Wait! I know who this is! As a close confidant of the Jones family I be following their lore comprehensively! That is the Jones brothers’ 15 year old nephew Atlas Jones! I heard he just started wrestling for indy promotions with about 20 of their cousins! They will all be joining EAW in the coming years no doubt about it!
(The camera pans around the arena to show about a dozen other hooded Samoan men and women in various locations of the crowd. They smile deviously as they all wait their turn to interfere in the match.)
Deadprez: Come on y’all. This shit was supposed to be 3 on 3! Not 30 on 3!
Sienna Swann: LOOK OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: KELIN LAYS OUT THE JONES BROS’ 15 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WITH AN IMPALEMENT! AND THEN PULLS HIM UP FOR THE NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!!! BRO JUST GOT WRECKED!
Sienna Swann: Stop it Kelin! That’s an innocent child!
Deadprez: Bro found out the hard way what interfering in EAW business can do for your health.
(The other hooded relatives of the Jones family in the crowd are shown no longer smiling as they now reconsider interfering in the match.)
Sienna Swann: Tafae Toa is somehow getting back up!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin rushes in and takes out Tafae Toa with the Trials of War! Kelin to the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: ???
(Malik Al-Farouq slides a wad of cash into the ring to the referee.)
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR- Hey wait what’s this…
(The referee smiles as he stops counting to pick up the wad of cash.)
Malik Al-Farouq: (off-mic) And there’s more where that came from buddy. Just make sure to call this match “fairly” if ya catch my drift.
Referee: (off-mic) Oh I completely understand you my man! 😉
Deadprez: Oh hell nah! What are we seeing here?
(Kelin stops pinning Tafae Toa looking enraged at the referee.)
Referee: (off-mic) Wanna split it biggest of bros?
Sienna Swann: But before the referee can get obliterated by Kelin… The Jones Brothers are back in the ring and they just jumped Kelin from behind!
Gavin Kirkland: Tafae Toa slowly back up now and they are triple teaming Kelin in the middle of the ring!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Deadprez: The referee is just allowing this!!!
Sienna Swann: Circe and Diego back in the ring now as they tackle the Jones Brothers! Tafae Toa grabs Kelin and throws him back with the APAI!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Tafae Toa throws Kelin out of the ring before making the tag to Adonis Jones over in his corner.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Tafae Toa now going outside the ring as he connects with a Curb Stomp to Kelin’s skull planting him down to the floor with force. No wait! Kelin dodged it! Kelin picks up Tafae Toa and throws him back with a German Suplex from behind dropping him neck first onto the ring steps!
Sienna Swann: Back in the ring the Jones Brothers just got thrown into each other by Circe and Diego! Their heads smash off each other as they collide. Diego then goes up top! LATIN LOVER SPLASH CONNECTS TO BOTH JONES BROTHERS!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelin climbs back into the ring as Circe immediately tags herself into the match.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Kelin immediately turns around and grabs Circe as the Jones Bros are getting back up!
Circe: (off-mic) FUCK! PUT ME DOWN! DAMMIT! NOT AGAIN!!
Sienna Swann: KELIN HURLS CIRCE LIKE A LAWN DART ACROSS THE RING TAKING OUT BOTH JONES BROTHERS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The force sends Artemis Jones flying out of the ring as he lands painfully on the side of his neck. Artemis isn’t moving! He’s in a bad way!
Deadprez: Adonis Jones is now isolated as he has Kelin, Circe, and Diego all coming after him! But the referee is on the Jones Brothers’ payroll and he is yelling at them to get out of the ring!
(Circe reaches into the referee’s pocket and tries to rip out the wad of cash.)
Referee: (off-mic) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! LET GO! IT’S MINE! I EARNED THAT!
Sienna Swann: But Adonis Jones rushes in to take out Circe before she can grab the money! Diego rushes in to attack Adonis-
Gavin Kirkland: But look out! Artemis Jones is somehow back in the ring! He’s holding his neck in pain but he just laid out Diego with THE CHARGE!!! A thunderous spear from Artemis Jones!!!
Deadprez: Adonis Jones hits Circe with a spear of his own as well! THE DON DADA BOUNTY CONNECTS!!!
Sienna Swann: Both Jones Brothers hit double Superkicks on Kelin sending him flipping out of the ring! Artemis rushes across the ring and throws himself to the outside landing on top of Kelin with a Plancha over the top rope!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KELIN CAUGHT HIM! OH SHIT!
Deadprez: But Adonis grabs Diego and Circe as well tossing them over onto Kelin! All three of them fall down onto Kelin crushing him on the outside!
(Adonis Jones points a finger gun at all three of his opponents outside the ring.)

Deadprez: ADONIS JONES RUSHES TO THE SIDE OF THE RING THROWING HIMSELF OVER THE TOP!!! ADONIS JONES TAKES TO THE SKY TAKING OUT ALL THREE OF HIS OPPONENTS ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!
(https://i.imgflip.com/axxe6l.gif)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:
Deadprez: Damn he didn’t get them at all!
Sienna Swann: He kind of hit them a little bit! Maybe!
Crowd: YEET! YEET! YEET!
Deadprez: Everyone is down on the outside as Adonis Jones quickly rolls up to his feet. He grabs Circe and tosses her back into the ring! She’s the legal opponent in this match! He could put her away!
Sienna Swann: Wait what the hell?!?!?-
Deadprez: Someone in the front row wearing a hat and jacket just threw salt into the face of Adonis Jones!
Gavin Kirkland: Circe quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs Adonis Jones and throws him back in the ring. Who the hell was that?!?!
Sienna Swann: Another one of the Jones Family’s relatives?
Gavin Kirkland: Nah I know them all this wasn’t one of them… And why would they be attacking their own man?
Sienna Swann: I mean… I would probably attack Adonis Jones too if I was in the same family as him.
Deadprez: Circe grabs Adonis Jones and connects with the 9:20 on him in the middle of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Outside the ring Artemis Jones is back up and begins to get back into the ring-
Deadprez: But a Low Blow from Diego Montana! Diego drags him back out of the ring and begins laying into him with punches on the floor!
Gavin Kirkland: Circe pulls Adonis Jones in for the oBITCHuary!!! She got all of it!
Deadprez: Tafae Toa back up on the outside! Can he make it in time?!?!
Sienna Swann: Circe to the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(The referee counts the cash in his pocket that Malik Al-Farouq gave him earlier.)
Referee: But…
Circe: (off-mic) I SWEAR… I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU IF YOU DON’T COUNT!!
Referee: … Fine.
Malik Al-Farouq: (off-mic) YOU TRAITOR!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: TAFAE TOA RUSHES THE RING TO BREAK IT UPP!!!-
Referee: TH-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KELIN IS BACK IN AND LAYS OUT TAFAE TOA WITH THE IMPALEMENT!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: ….
Referee: …..
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners… the team of CIRCE, DIEGO MONTANA, AND KELIN!!!!
(“Pins & Needles” by Birthday Massacre hits as the referee raises up Circe’s hand in the air. Malik Al-Farouq falls to his knees in despair at ringside having realized that the worst has come to pass for his team.)
Deadprez: Big win for Circe here tonight as she managed to pull one off for her team! But she couldn’t have done it without whoever the hell that was at ringside-
(Circe quickly rolls out of the ring and is with Diego Montana. The man in the jacket and hat stands there as Circe walks up to him and they hug.)
Sienna Swann: Who the hell was that sweetie that helped Circe, Diego and Kelin win but it seems like Circe knows him, sweetie. Wait a second… I know who that is.
Gavin Kirkland: Wait…. Is that? No…… no way.
(The man takes off his hat and smiles as Circe just giggles and hugs him again.)
Circe: (Off Mic) Thank you poppa.
Deadprez: That is the patriarch of the Vladislav family! Minerva and Circe’s dad! What the hell is he doing here!?
Sienna Swann: It seems like he is here to protect his little girl, sweetie.
(Circe and Diego both leave with Father Vlad while Kelin just stares at Tafae Toa and The Jones Brothers are trying to help each other out, cutting to an ad for Blood Sport next week.)
(The Graphic for the next match appears )
(“DICTATOR” by REI AMI hits and the crowd immediately starts to boo. Mia Santoro steps through the curtain, pausing at the top of the ramp for just a moment before beginning her descent.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! FROM KEY WEST, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS! “LA DESPERADA”! MIA SANTORO!
(“Confident” by Demi Lovato hits and Clayton Golde emerges, that signature smirk already on his face as he surveys the packed arena and taunts everyone in it.)
Gina Romano: AND INTRODUCING! FROM ROMANIA! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS! CLAYTON GOLDE!
(Clayton steps through the ropes, immediately beginning to talk at Mia from across the ring while she stares straight through him.)
(“Ichirin no Hana” by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR hits and the cheers are enormous. Akari steps through the curtain with the National Elite Championship around his waist, pausing at the top of the ramp to take in the full scope of the moment.)
Gina Romano: AND INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION! FROM AOMORI, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT 216 POUNDS! “THE NEW HEART OF SHOWDOWN”! THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! AKARI KIYOKO!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: The National Elite Championship is on the line and Akari Kiyoko has not one but TWO challengers standing across from him tonight! The former New Breed Champion, Clayton Golde! Along with former Specialist Champion, Mia Santoro! Both with their eyes on capturing another Champion over Akari’s dead body!
Deadprez: This is the nightmare scenario for any champion! You can prepare for one person all you want but a triple threat throws every game plan out of the window! I mean, you don’t even need to be pinned to lose the Championship.
Sienna Swann: Clayton Golde has been talking all week about how this match was practically a given to him and how the only real question is whether Mia or Akari gets pinned. He is always so annoyingly confident, let’s hope that he isn’t the one walking out with that belt.
(All three competitors eye each other in the opening seconds, a standoff forming as nobody wants to make the first move. Clayton slowly raises both hands, looking at Mia with a grin.)
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) Hey, let’s be smart about this. You and me, we take out the Champion and we can guarantee a Championship change.
(Mia stares at him for a long moment.)
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) You know, maybe you’re right…
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) I usually am.
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) But then again, I always wanted to do this.
(Mia hits Clayton with a SUPERKICK that catches him on the jaw! Clayton drops instantly and Akari looks at Mia with a nod of appreciation before she turns to him and charges at him too!)
Gavin Kirkland: MIA SANTORO REJECTING THE ALLIANCE AND GOING AFTER EVERYBODY!
Deadprez: Every person for themselves, as they say! She superkicked Clayton into next week and now she is coming for the champion! Akari ducks the forearm and fires a KICK right to Mia’s thigh! Mia stumbles and Akari grabs her— ROLLING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Sienna Swann: Akari is establishing himself immediately, he did not come this far to give up that championship to anyone, sweetie!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton is back on his feet already and he slides out of the ring, putting the apron between himself and the chaos happening in the ring! He is watching from the outside while Akari and Mia tear each other apart!
Deadprez: Of course he is! Clayton’s entire strategy in this match is probably going to be letting everyone else break each other down and then swoop in at the last second!
Sienna Swann: Way too predictable.
(Akari pulls Mia up and fires a short arm rolling elbow before whipping her into the ropes! Mia rebounds and ducks under his clothesline before coming back with a “KILLING MOON”! The rolling wheel kick that catches Akari across the side of the skull!)
Gavin Kirkland: KILLING MOON FROM MIA SANTORO! AKARI GOES DOWN AND MIA IMMEDIATELY COVERS! THE FIRST PINFALL OF THE MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: Clayton slides back in and breaks it up with a kick to the back of Mia’s head! He pulls her up by the hair and fires a jab before whipping her into the corner!
Sienna Swann: Clayton picking his moments, just as predicted.
(Clayton charges into the corner with a running knee that crushes Mia against the turnbuckles before pulling her out and hitting a SNAP SUPLEX right in the center of the ring! He plays to the crowd, taking his time getting to Mia!)
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton wasting precious seconds to showboat and Akari is already back on his feet—
Deadprez: AKARI WITH A DROPKICK! That catches Clayton before he can capitalize on Mia! Clayton tries to roll away but Akari turns him around on his back— JUMPING UP AND DROPPING ON TOP OF HIM WITH A MASSIVE SENTON!
Sienna Swann: Kiyoko making Clayton suffer, oh I love to see that! Akari gets a cover on Clayton!
ONE!
TWO!!
Deadprez: Mia breaks it up with a DOUBLE FOOT STOMP right to the back of Akari’s spine! Akari is stunned and Mia immediately grabs him, picking him up— “BLACKEST HOUR”! THE SWINGING FISHERMAN NECKBREAKER CONNECTS!
Gavin Kirkland: MIA SANTORO TAKING CONTROL OF THE MATCH! SHE HOOKS AKARI’S LEG!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEEE—
Deadprez: CLAYTON PULLS MIA OFF! CLAYTON MAY HAVE SAVED THIS MATCH! MIA HAVE BEEN SHOOTING OFF BIGGER MOVES EARLY TRYING TO END THIS MATCH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!
Sienna Swann: Mia turning toward Clayton with a look I know oh so well, that is a fury of a woman that you don’t want to be on the receiving end of!
(Clayton immediately puts both hands up.)
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) Mia , calm down! This is a Triple Threat match, what did you expect me to do? I mean if you thought I was going to let you win you’re as stupid as—
(Mia HEADBUTTS him right between the eyes! Clayton staggers and Mia fires a “TWO FOR THE ROAD” combination! Superkick the knee followed immediately by a roundhouse that snaps Clayton’s head sideways!)
Gavin Kirkland: MIA NOT INTERESTED IN WHATEVER CLAYTON WAS SAYING! TWO FOR THE ROAD CONNECTING AND CLAYTON IS DOWN!
Deadprez: But Akari is right back up and he grabs Mia from behind— GERMAN SUPLEX! Mia bounces off the canvas and Akari bridges!
ONE!
TWO!!
Sienna Swann: Mia gets out of the pin and this match is moving at an absolutely break neck pace right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari pulling Mia back up and driving a kick right into her spine before grabbing Clayton off the canvas and launching him with an EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Akari hits the ropes— FLYING FOREARM SMASH takes Mia down! He turns and catches the rising Clayton with a JUMPING ENZUIGIRI! Clayton goes down and Akari pins him!
ONE!
TWO!
Sienna Swann: Clayton manages to get the shoulder up!
(Clayton rolls to the outside again, while Mia gets back up and she turns her full attention back to Akari, firing a jab that Akari absorbs before firing one right back!)
Gavin Kirkland: Akari and Mia trading punches right in the center of this ring and neither one is taking a step backward!
Deadprez: Mia with a chop! Akari fires an elbow! Mia answers with a gamengiri! Akari stumbles and Mia grabs him— HOOKING THE ARMS AND HITS HIM WITH A BUTTERFLY DDT! DRILLING HIS HEAD INTO HIS MAT!
Sienna Swann: Santoro taking over and Clayton Golde still out on the floor! This could be Mia’s moment to hopefully pull away with this match, but she has to keep an eye out!
Gavin Kirkland: Mia pulls Akari back up and drives him into the corner before climbing to the second rope and raining down punches!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Deadprez: Akari suddenly grabs Mia’s legs and walks her out of the corner— SLAMS HER WITH A POWERBOMB RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! RIGHT INTO THE PIN!
ONE!
TWO!!
Sienna Swann: Clayton slides back in and breaks it up with a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP right across the back of Akari’s neck! Clayton immediately pulls Mia up and hooks her— FISHERMAN SUPLEX BRIDGING INTO A COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: MIA MANAGES TO KICK OUT! CLAYTON THOUGHT THAT HE HAD IT BUT MIA RAINING ON HIS PARADE!
Clayton Golde: (off mic) Come on! Are you kidding me, that was the most obvious THREE! Don’t fuck me over!
Deadprez: Clayton complaining to the referee like he always does!
Sienna Swann: Clayton has horrible time management skill, the time he could have used to actually wrestle, he instead chose to argue with an official about a count that was clearly a two!
(While Clayton is occupied with the referee, Mia grabs him from behind and rolls him up with a handful of tights!)
ONE!
TWO!!
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON BARELY KICKS OUT! MIA ALMOST STOLE IT! WE COULD HAVE SEEN A NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Deadprez: Clayton scrambling to his feet looking horrified that he could have lost and Mia is right back on him with a SPRINGBOARD DDT that spikes him into the canvas! Mia goes for another cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
Sienna Swann: Akari with a diving double foot stomp that breaks the count! Akari is not letting either challenger put this away without him involved!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari grabs Mia and picks her up— STRIKING HER WITH A ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND INTO AN INVERTED EXPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Deadprez: Akari turns and sees Clayton charging at him— AKIRA CATCHING HIM, PUTTING HIM POSITION AND DRIVING HIS SKULL TO THE MAT WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! AKARI LOOKING UNSTOPPABLE AS HE GOES FOR THE WIN!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: MIA WITH A SPRINGBOARD OUT OF THE CORNER AND DROPS AN ELBOW ONTO AKARI TO BREAK THE COUNT! All three competitors are down and this crowd is on their feet!
Sienna Swann: Every time someone gets close to ending this match someone else finds a way to prevent it! This championship match is refusing to end!
Deadprez: Mia is the first one stirring! She pulls herself up using the ropes and looks around at both Akari and Clayton lying on the canvas! She points to the top rope and this crowd knows what is coming!
Gavin Kirkland: Mia climbing to the top rope! She is setting up “CHASE THE FEELING”! The diving legdrop lined up as both Akari and Clayton are down below her, who is she going to choose?
Sienna Swann: All I know is, if she connects with this she can cover either man and potentially walk out of here tonight as the new National Elite Champion!
Deadprez: Mia perched up top, she leaps— “CHASE THE FEELING” CONNECTS ON CLAYTON GOLDE! THIS COULD BE IT MIA IS GOING TO WALK OUT AS NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: MIA INTO THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEEE—
Deadprez: AKARI DIVES IN AND PUSHES MIA OFF! BREAKING IT UP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! The champion refused to let that title change hands on his watch!
Sienna Swann: Akari was close to losing that Championship, I know that he is sweating bullets right now, sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: All three competitors are completely spent and this Midsummer Massacre crowd has been on their feet for the majority of this match! Something has to give very soon!
(Akari is the first to his feet, pulling himself up using the ropes and surveying the damage around him. Mia is stirring near the corner and Clayton is down in the center of the ring, barely moving after “Chase the Feeling”.)
Deadprez: Kiyoko standing tall right now and the champion has an opportunity to end this match if he can find the right moment! He grabs Clayton first, pulling him up and driving a kick right into his chest before whipping him hard into the ropes! Clayton rebounds and Akari catches him with a DISCUS LARIAT that flips him completely around before he crashes to the canvas!
Sienna Swann: Akari is in full control right now and Mia needs to get back into this conversation immediately or she is going to watch the champion retain from the corner!
(Mia charges at Akari from behind! Akari sidesteps and grabs her arm, pulling her into a SHORT ARM ELBOW that catches her right across the jaw! Mia staggers and Akari hooks her and hits a DRAGON SUPLEX that bridges into a cover!)

Deadprez: Clayton runs to the ropes and bounces off the rope— “THE BRAND DEAL”! SPRINGBOARD STUNNER CONNECTS! CLAYTON GOLDE HITS THE BRAND DEAL! THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR CLAYTON GOLDE AND HE IS LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE!

TWO!!
THREEEE—
Deadprez: MIA BREAKS IT UP ONCE AGAIN COMING BACK JUST IN TIME! She pulled Clayton off at the absolute last possible second and Clayton is losing his mind right now!
Clayton Golde: (off-mic, furious) ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I HAD IT! I HAD THE CHAMPIONSHIP RIGHT THERE! YOU STUPID—
(Mia slaps the taste out of his mouth!)
Sienna Swann: Oh that was deserved, harder to be all big and bold when you’re standing face to face and not behind a camera!
(Clayton shoves Mia backward in frustration and Mia immediately fires a superkick that catches him right on the chin! Clayton drops to one knee and Mia grabs him, lifting him up! HITTING THE BLACKEST HOUR! The swinging fisherman’s neckbreaker spikes him into the canvas!)
Gavin Kirkland: MIA PUTTING CLAYTON AWAY WITH BLACKEST HOUR AND GOES GOES FOR A PIN!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREEEE—
Deadprez: AKARI WITH A STOMP ONTO TO THE BACK OF MIA’S HEAD!
Sienna Swann: A great save by Akari, we come to expect it with how this match has been turning out!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari pulls Mia up and takes her into the corner, he hooks her up and places her on the top rope! He is trying to get her up to that top rope!
Deadprez: Mia fighting it! She is firing punches to the head of Akari trying to break free! Akari absorbs every shot and continues to try to climb the corner!
Sienna Swann: Clayton is back on his feet though and he sees both of them near that corner! He is moving toward them and this cannot be good!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton grabbing Akari from behind while Akari has Mia on the second rope! He is trying to pull Akari away— but Akari hits a back elbow between the eyes! Clayton stumbles backward but it may have helped Mia! MIA GRABS AKARI’S HEAD AND DROPS DOWN INTO A TORNADO DDT COMPLETELY LAYING OUT THE CHAMPION !
Deadprez: Akari gets spiked and Mia rolls through immediately going for the cover; this could be what she needed in order to become Champion!
ONE!
TWO!
THREEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND DROPS ACROSS BOTH OF THEM WITH A SPLASH BREAKING THE COUNT!
Sienna Swann: Clayton Golde has been the most infuriating person in this match all night! But I mean, what’s new?
Deadprez: All three competitors are down again and this crowd does not know who is going to walk out of this match as Champion! This match has been absolutely spectacular from bell to bell!
(Clayton slowly pushes himself up, looking around at both Akari and Mia before reaching into his gear. The referee is checking on Mia on the other side of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: What is Clayton doing?! He is reaching into his tights again and I do not like the look on his face right now!
Deadprez: Clayton pulling something out— he has got BRASS KNUCKS! He is sliding them onto his fist and looking right at Akari who is just starting to stir!
Sienna Swann: Clayton is lining Akari up, he is going to knock him out with those brass knuckles—
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton winds up going for the punch— BUT AKARI DUCKS! THE BRASS KNUCKS MISS! AKARI CHARGES FORWARD WITH “A-K-NEE OF DEATH”! THE FLYING REGAL KNEE CONNECTS AND CLAYTON IS OUT COLD!
Deadprez: AKARI JUST KNOCKED CLAYTON INTO NEXT WEEK WITH THAT KNEE! THIS COULD BE IT! AKARI RETAINS HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!
ONE!
TWO!
THREEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: MIA GRABS AKARI BY THE HAIR AND PULLS HIM OFF THE COVER! SHE WILL NOT LET THIS MATCH END!
Sienna Swann: Mia once again finding the strength she needs to save this match! Any other person would’ve given up by now, but Mia is not like others!
Deadprez: Mia and Akari both on their feet now and they are staring each other down in the center of that ring! Clayton is completely out on the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Mia fires a forearm! Akari fires one back! Mia with a superkick to the knee! Akari stumbles and MIA CHARGES FORWARD AND HITS THE “APHRODITE’S KISS”! THE LEAPING FLATLINER—
Deadprez: AKARI CATCHES HER! HE CAUGHT HER MID-AIR AND SPINS— DROPPING HER ONTO HIS KNEE WITH A SICKENING BACKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI WITH THE COVER! THIS HAS TO BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!
THREEEE—
Sienna Swann: CLAYTON GOLDE PUNCHES THE REFEREE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES! WHAT THE HELL!
Clayton Golde: (off mic) Oops…
Deadprez: THERE IS NO REFEREE! Clayton just knocked the official out to save this match! What else can you expect from a man like this!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari gets back to his feet and he is staring right at Clayton and Clayton is backing away toward the ropes!
(Clayton backs into the ropes, brass knucks still on his fist, eyes darting between Akari and the downed referee as he tries to calculate his next move. Akari takes one slow step toward him. )
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) Akari, whatever you’re thinking you don’t want to do this. I mean I’m the one with the advantage, I have the brass knuckles and you have nothing. So I suggest you step back, and don’t get in my way!
(Akari grabs him by the wrist so quickly he didn’t realize it, his eyes widened as Akari slowly takes the brass knuckles off.)
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) …Oh, maybe we should talk—
Gavin Kirkland: Akari not interested in a single word coming out of Clayton Golde’s mouth right now! He fires a kick right to Clayton’s thigh before grabbing him and launching him with an INVERTED EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Deadprez: CLAYTON GETS FOLDED IN HALF! Akari tosses the brass knucks!
Sienna Swann: The referee is still down and there is still no official in this match! Akari needs someone to count if he is going to retain that championship tonight!
(Akari looks toward the timekeeper’s area and a backup referee comes sprinting down the ramp. He turns back to find Clayton still slumped in the corner and immediately goes to work, pulling him up into a tree of woe before stepping back and charging in with a SHOTGUN DROPKICK right to the face!)
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton drops on his head, just to add more injury! But it doesn’t seem like Akari is finished heading up top! This could be it right here!
Deadprez: MIA IS BACK ON HER FEET! She sees exactly what is happening and she is moving fast!
(Mia sprints across the ring and shoves the top rope hard! Akari loses his balance and comes crashing down, getting crotched on the turnbuckle!)
Sienna Swann: She cut him off, Mia Santoro is not letting this match end without her!
Gavin Kirkland: Mia climbing up, meeting Akari at the top now, she jumps up— HITTING AN AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA DRIVER! AKARI GETS DRIVEN HEAD FIRST INTO THE CANVAS FROM THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: The entire ring shook from that landing! The referee slides in and counts the pin!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI MANAGES TO POWER OUT! THAT WAS CLOSE! THAT WAS SO CLOSE I KNOW MIA IS FRUSTRATED!
(Mia holds up three fingers at the referee who shakes his head firmly. She pounds the mat once before pulling herself back up.)
Sienna Swann: That was closer to three than anything we have seen all night and it still was not enough to put the champion away.
Gavin Kirkland: Mia waits for Akari to get back to his feet, before charging at him! SHE IS GOING FOR THE “ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE” LOOK TO PUT A BOW ON THIS MATCH—
Deadprez: BUT AKARI CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR! INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION BUT SHIFTS TO “GOLDEN TIME LOVER”! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER RIGHT INTO THE ELBOW DROP! AKARI COVERS!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
(# WHACK!)
Sienna Swann: BRASS KNUCKS RIGHT TO THE BACK OF AKARI’S SKULL! CLAYTON FOUND THEM ON THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton shoves Akari out of the ring and immediately drops across Mia, hooking both legs— AND PLANTING HIS FEET ON THE ROPES!
Deadprez: The referee doesn’t see that he is counting the pin! Clayton is looking for his second Championship reign so soon!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT THE REFEREE IS WAVING IT OFF! HE SEES THE FEET ON THE ROPES! CLAYTON ALMOST HAD IT!
(Clayton explodes, screaming at the officials.)
Clayton Golde: (off mic) ARE YOU KIDDING ME! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! YOU CAN’T JUST WAVE OFF THE PIN! DO YOUR JOB! COUNT THE PIN YOU FUCKING DORK! THIS IS WHY YOU GET PAID LESS THEN THE REAL STARS! YOU’RE USELESS—
(CLAYTON SPINS AROUND STRAIGHT INTO MIA WHO HITS THE “ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE”! THE ROUGH RYDER PLANTS HIM!)
Deadprez: MIA HAS THE COVER! BOTH LEGS HOOKED AND THIS COULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH! MIA IS GOING TO BECOME NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Sienna Swann: AKARI DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES AND BREAKS IT UP! AKARI SAVING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN BY A FRACTION OF A SECOND!
(Akari and Mia drag themselves up at the same time, finding each other in the center of the ring. Both barely standing.)
Gavin Kirkland: We are coming down to the wire every competitor is spent, and I don’t know just how much longer either of them can go!
Deadprez: FOREARM FROM MIA! AKARI RETURNS IT! SUPERKICK TO THE KNEE! AKARI STUMBLES! MIA CHARGES FOR THE “APHRODITE’S KISS”—
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI CATCHES HER ONCE AGAIN! SPINS HER AROUND AND CATCHES HER! “HEAVY ON MY HEART”! THE BACKDROP SUPLEX RIGHT ON THE HEAD! HE BRIDGES!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
(The referee waves it off! Mia’s foot touches the ropes! Akari releases the bridge and sits up staring at nothing for a beat!)
Deadprez: The foot on the rope! I don’t know if it was intentional or not but that just saved her and this match at the last possible moment and Akari cannot believe it!
Sienna Swann: He is staring at that rope like he is genuinely considering ripping apart the ring, but it has to remain calm and level headed!
(Akari composes himself and pulls Mia back up! She immediately drops her weight and pulls him into a SMALL PACKAGE!)
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari kicks out and both scramble up— SUPERKICKS LANDING AT THE SAME TIME! Both competitors connect at the exact same time and both go down!
(Rio is holding its breath. Then Clayton Golde slowly rises in the corner! Nobody noticed him crawling there. He watches both Akari and Mia struggling to their knees, and rebounds off the ropes!)
Sienna Swann: Clayton has been playing dead for the last several minutes and he just became the most dangerous person in this match! He now has his choice of who he wants to pick apart!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton standing alone in this ring soaking in every bit of disdain given to him by this crowd! Clayton walks toward Akari and drops him into the center of the ring, and pulls Mia over him as well!
Deadprez: Give me a break! He’s stacking his opponents, putting a foot on the chest of Mia! He really is just full of himself!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Sienna Swann: They both kick out, predictable.
(Clayton doesn’t even react. He simply rolls over Mia off and covers her individually.)
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MIA KICKS OUT! CLAYTON IS FREAKING OUT GOING FOR A PIN ON AKARI NOW! HOPING THAT THIS COULD BE THE ONE!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Deadprez: NO LUCK! AKARI KICKS OUT AS WELL! CLAYTON’S CONFIDENCE HAS JUST LEFT HIS BODY IN REAL TIME!
(Clayton sits between both fallen competitors staring at the ceiling! He slams both fists into the canvas!)
Clayton Golde: (off mic) FUCK! GODDAMMIT! WHY ME! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!
Deadprez: Clayton goes back on the hunt, pulling Akari up, looking to be setting up “THE GOLDE PILL”—
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI SLIPS OUT! LANDING BEHIND HIM— KNEE TO THE SPINE! THEN FLIPPING HIM AROUND, LIFTING HIM UP FOR A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! GETTING SOME AIR BEFORE DRIVING CLAYTON HEAD FIRST INTO THE CANVAS! HE GOES FOR THE PIN!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Sienna Swann: MIA WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE SKULL OF AKARI! HE ROLLS OFF OF CLAYTON!
(Mia rolls through, Clayton begins to pick himself up but a roundhouse from Mia sends Clayton down to the mat! Akari tries to get to his feet but gets caught with a superkick keeping him down!)
Deadprez: Mia hits the ropes, Akari slowly standing back up a little groggy— AKARI TRIES TO CATCH HER ONE BUT MIA MANAGES TO SLIDE BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND TAKE HIM DOWN FOR A PIN!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI ROLLS THROUGH! REVERSES IT INTO A PIN OF HIS OWN!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Deadprez: MIA KICKS OUT! AKARI GETS UP AND CHARGES AT HER WITH THE “PEACH DREAM”— MIA DUCKS AND AKARI CRASHES STRAIGHT INTO CLAYTON GOLDE!
(Clayton spills out of the ring and Mia while Akari is distracted momentarily runs to the ropes! HITTING “WOLFSBANE”! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! AKARI GOES DOWN AND MIA COVERS!)
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI JUST MANAGING TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! MIA CAN’T BELIEVE IT AND NEITHER CAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE!
Deadprez: They can at least sight a bit of relief that Clayton is gone, but now it comes down to these two! One of these wrestlers will be going home with that Championship!
Sienna Swann: Oh goodness, and it looks like they are already trying to pick themselves back up.
(Akari slowly stands up and stares at Mia Santoro both running on nothing. Everything that has happened in this match is written across both of their bodies.)
Gavin Kirkland: We have been watching this match for what feels like a lifetime tonight and it has come down to this! Mia fires a forearm! Akari takes it and fires one back! Mia answers with an enziguri that staggers him! Akari responds with an elbow that snaps her head sideways! They are trading everything they have left and neither one is going down!
Deadprez: Mia with a roundhouse kick! AKARI DUCKS IT AND GRABS HER HITTING GERMAN SUPLEX! Mia bounces but rolls through and gets right back to her feet! She fires a superkick that catches Akari on the jaw! Akari stumbles into the ropes! BUT COMES BACK WITH A LARIAT! MIA DUCK AND HITS THE “KILLING MOON”!
Sienna Swann: These two have been at each other the longest tonight and it is showing, they practically know each other’s moves!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari grabs the ropes to steady himself in the corner! Mia charges in— Akari sidesteps and grabs her, throwing her into the corner! He presses forward and grabs her by the legs, hoisting her up onto the top turnbuckle!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari getting Mia up onto that top rope! He’s climbing up with her! AKARI IS LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX THAT COULD SEND THIS MATCH TO THE END!
Deadprez: But Mia is not going anywhere however! She is Elbows driving into the side of Akari’s head trying to break his grip!
Sienna Swann: Mia is not letting him hit that superplex and I don’t blame her.
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! IS THAT CLAYTON?! HE IS BACK IN THE RING! HE HAS AKARI’S LEGS!
Deadprez: CLAYTON POWERBOMBS AKARI OFF THE TOP WHILE AKARI SUPLEXES MIA! ALL THREE COMPETITORS CRASH DOWN!
Sienna Swann: I thought they took out that little gremlin from this match! No way he now has a chance to win!
Gavin Kirkland: He just might! Clayton is looking around at the carnage and is realizing his opportunity!
Deadprez: Akari is face down in the center of the ring and Mia is rolling toward the ropes! She is trying to get to the apron to regroup!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton measuring Mia on the apron! She is trying to stand and she has no idea what is coming!
Deadprez: Clayton springboards off the ropes— “THE BRAND DEAL”! THE SPRINGBOARD STUNNER CONNECTS ON MIA ON THE APRON! Mia falls backward, crashing hard to the floor below!
Sienna Swann: Mia Santoro is done! Clayton Golde just removed her from this equation entirely!
Gavin Kirkland: And now it is just Clayton and Akari in this ring! Clayton is standing over the champion!
Clayton Golde: (off mic) YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD WIN? YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BEAT ME! YOUR ARMS ARE TOO SHORT KID!
Deadprez: CLAYTON SETTING UP THE “GOLDE PILL”! IF CLAYTON HITS THIS THEN IT’S ALL OVER!
Sienna Swann: Oh come on, there is no way I am going to watch a Clayton Golde title win! Tell me when it’s over…
(…)
(…)
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: NO! NO WAY! AKARI MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF HIS GRASP! HE LANDED ON HIS FEET! CLAYTON IS CONFUSED WONDERING HOW HE ESCAPED—
Deadprez: # AKARI HITS THE PEACH DREAM! OH MY GOD!
Gavin Kirkland: THE CLAYMORE KICK CONNECTS TO THE JAW OF CLAYTON GOLDE AND TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT! NOW AKARI GOES FOR THE PIN! NOBODY TO STOP HIM!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION…AKARI KIYOKO!
Gavin Kirkland: AKARI KIYOKO RETAINS! AKARI KIYOKO IS STILL YOUR NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Deadprez: Akari Kiyoko has proven without a shadow of a doubt why he is the National Elite Champion! Despite everything thrown at him, and things that have happened in this match. He still managed to pull through and walk out with his Championship.
Sienna Swann: I have to agree, sweetie. There aren’t many people that can walk into a match as crazy as that and walk out with their Championship. Akari deserves praise, and I’ll even give credit to his opponents who gave him one hell of a fight. Yes, even Clayton Golde.
(Akari slowly sits up, clutching the championship against his chest, looking out at the Rio crowd that is now fully on their feet clapping for the Champion. He raises the title above his head with one arm as the scene fades to black.)

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH!
(“Pardon Me” by Lil Yachty (feat. Future & Mike WiLL Made-It) blasts throughout the arena as Trae Brooks bursts onto the stage full of energy. He repeatedly hops into the air before pumping his arm forward with a fired up yell toward the crowd, clearly having the time of his life. Trae then heads down the ramp, high fiving fans all the way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 195 pounds… TRAE BROOKS!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, Trae Brooks has made a great first impression since arriving on Showdown. Tonight could be the biggest win of his young career.
Deadprez: A New Breed Championship opportunity is right there for the taking. This is a huge chance for Trae.
Sienna Swann: He certainly has the athleticism. Now we’ll see if he can put it all together.
(“Genie In A Bottle” by Christina Aguilera plays to a chorus of boos as Grace De Luca steps onto the stage, confidently striking her signature pose. She struts down the ramp with a smug smile, paying no mind to the fans booing and heckling her from both sides of the barricade, completely wrapped up in her own world.)
Gina Romano: Next! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 121 pounds… GRACE DE LUCA!!
Sienna Swann: Grace De Luca has never been short on confidence, sweetie. She believes she’s already championship material.
Gavin Kirkland: And who’s to say she isn’t? I’d love to see Grace shock everybody tonight!
Deadprez: Confidence is one thing. She’s gotta survive three other hungry competitors first.
(“Phantasmagory” by Denkare echoes throughout the arena as the lights dim, drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd. Wynter Kurayami slowly steps onto the stage with a haunting smile before tilting her head to one side. She calmly makes her way down the ramp, ignoring the fans around her with her eyes fixed on the ring.)
Gina Romano: From Kanagawa, Japan, weighing in at 129 pounds… WYNTER KURAYAMI!!
Sienna Swann: Wynter Kurayami has been one of the more mysterious newcomers this season, sweetie. You never quite know what she’s thinking.
Gavin Kirkland: And that’s exactly what makes her dangerous.
Deadprez: If the others make one mistake around Wynter, she’ll be ready to take advantage.
(“God is a Woman” by Ariana Grande fills the arena as loud boos pour in from the crowd. Sofia Drakos steps onto the stage with complete confidence, raising both arms for a moment before making her way down the ramp. She marches to the ring with an arrogant smirk, looking down on everyone around her as if she truly owns the place.)
Gina Romano: And making her way to the ring! From Mount Olympus, Greece, weighing in at 185 pounds… SOFIA DRAKOS!!
Sienna Swann: Sofia Drakos has looked every bit as powerful as advertised since arriving on Showdown, sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think anyone in this match wants to stand toe-to-toe with her.
Deadprez: She may not have been here long, but she’s already proving she’s someone the rest of the division has to watch.
(The referee signals for the bell as each competitor stands in their respective corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: HERE WE GO! Sofia Drakos doesn’t waste ANY time, immediately charging toward Grace in the opposite corner with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Looking to establish her dominance early! Meanwhile, Trae and Wynter collide in the center of the ring, throwing down in a hockey fight as they jockey for control! Wynter starts backing Trae into the corner with shots to the body, but Trae reverses at the last second, pivoting Wynter into the corner instead!
Gavin Kirkland: Trae buries her shoulder into Wynter’s abdomen, knocking the wind right out of her before following it up with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Meanwhile, Grace and Sofia are already tied up in a clinch of their own, shuffling around as Sofia rains down clubbing blows across Grace’s back while Grace fires back with shots to the body! Grace powers Sofia backward, driving her into the corner right beside Trae and Wynter!
Sienna Swann: Oh, sweetie. It’s been absolutely nonstop since the opening bell, and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. Grace is unloading with punches in the corner on Sofia while Trae catches Wynter with a FOREARM! Grace sends Sofia tumbling through the middle rope! Sofia stumbles into the barricade as Grace follows her to the outside and clubs her across the back from behind, causing Sofia to stagger forward!
Deadprez: Grace is right on her— BUT WALKS STRAIGHT INTO A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! GOOD LORD, THAT JUST JACKED HER JAW! Sofia wastes no time slamming Grace face first off the top of the barricade! Meanwhile, back inside the ring, Wynter throws Trae back into the very corner she was trapped in moments ago and starts unloading with shoot kicks to the chest, alternating them with KNIFE EDGE CHOPS!
Gavin Kirkland: Sofia rocks Grace with ANOTHER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT at ringside, staggering her back! Sofia marches toward her— BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Ooh… I bet that would’ve left a mark on me. Sofia doesn’t even care! She fires right back with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Grace answers with another chop! UPPERCUT! CHOP! UPPERCUT! Somebody tell these two gorgeous women to be careful with those faces!
Deadprez: Sofia grabs hold of Grace’s wrist and WHIPS HER HARD BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Sofia marches toward her— but back inside the ring, Trae switches places with Wynter once again and throws her back into the corner for a HARD KNIFE EDGE CHOP across the chest! Wynter staggers out of the corner, favoring her chest as she leans back against the ropes before Trae cuts her off with a FOREARM!
Sienna Swann: Trae goes for an Irish whip off the ropes— BUT WYNTER REVERSES IT! Wynter ducks down early, perhaps looking for a back body drop, but Trae has it scouted! A PUNT KICK TO THE CHEST jolts Wynter upright! She stumbles back against the ropes, and Trae immediately charges in!
Gavin Kirkland: Wynter uses all that momentum against Trae, low bridging the top rope, and Trae goes flying over the top to ringside, landing on all fours! Wynter hits the ropes as Trae gets back to his feet, building momentum for a… SUICIDE DIVE!! :damn:
Deadprez: BOTH OF THEM CRASH RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! Trae definitely got the worst of that one, grabbing the back of his head as he hits the floor! Wynter fights her way back up— BUT HERE COMES GRACE DE LUCA! Grace rounds the corner and BLASTS WYNTER WITH A FOREARM TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, dropping her where she stands!
Sienna Swann: I suppose Grace has managed to shake Sofia Drakos for the time being, sweetie, and she’s turned her attention to Wynter! GRACE THROWS WYNTER SHOULDER AND THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Wynter crumples to the floor as Grace calmly hauls her back up and rolls her back into the ring. Wynter crawls to the ropes, using them to pull herself up to a knee, but Grace is already closing in, dragging her the rest of the way back to her feet.
Gavin Kirkland: Grace leans Wynter back against the ropes for a KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Ooh… that’s gonna leave a mark. Wynter staggers away from Grace, still leaning against the ropes as she tries to create some space, but Grace stays right on top of her! She lines Wynter up for ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP to the chest, knocking her back into the corner! Grace follows it up with a FOREARM—
Deadprez: BUT WYNTER SNATCHES GRACE AND THROWS HER INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Giving Grace a taste of her own medicine! Wynter winds up and CRACKS HER WITH ANOTHER ONE! WOO! That chop echoed throughout this arena! Grace definitely felt that one, but she’s still game, firing back with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP OF HER OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Grace fights her way out of the corner with that chop, but Wynter returns fire with one of her own! CHOP FROM GRACE! CHOP FROM WYNTER! CHOP FROM GRACE! But Wynter… SHE JUST SHRUGS IT OFF! That’s… actually kind of terrifying. Grace might be having second thoughts now!
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Wynter, now let’s not be barbaric! We can discuss thi—
(Grace backs right into the imposing Sofia Drakos, having only managed to shake her at ringside for a brief moment. Sofia doesn’t look the least bit pleased, immediately spinning Grace around and drilling her with a vicious EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! )
Sienna Swann: And that uppercut sends Grace stumbling right into Wynter, sweetie! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY WYNTER! Grace is groggy as she turns into ANOTHER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY SOFIA, staggering right back into an UPPERCUT BY WYNTER! UPPERCUT BY SOFIA! UPPERCUT BY WYNTER! They’re just sending her back and forth like she’s in a game of racquetball!
(Grace De Luca is on wobbly legs, groggy and barely able to stand after that last uppercut by Sofia as Trae Brooks re-enters the ring while Grace staggers toward him…)
Deadprez: OH, AND TRAE GETS A PIECE OF THE ACTION! RIGHT HAND! Grace De Luca walks right into it and gets dropped!
(Sofia calmly steps toward Grace, looking down at her with a stoic expression as Grace rolls underneath the bottom rope to the outside. Sofia stops at the ropes, watching her retreat for a brief moment before turning around. Now only Sofia, Trae, and Wynter remain standing in the ring, all three quickly darting their eyes between one another as a tense standoff settles over the arena.)
Gavin Kirkland: OH! WYNTER! WYNTER TAKES THE FIRST SHOT with a kick to the gut of Trae, doubling him over before immediately following up with a punch to the face of Sofia! Trae stands back upright, getting caught with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST that stuns him once again! FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE OF SOFIA BY WYNTER!
Deadprez: KURAYAMI’S ON A ROLL HERE, going back and forth between both competitors! KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO BROOKS! Wynter follows it up with another, backing Trae against the ropes for an IRISH WHIP! Wynter leaps into the air for a DROPKICK— BUT TRAE HALTS HIS MOMENTUM, hooking both arms onto the top rope as Wynter crashes down on her back instead!
Sienna Swann: Wynter quickly scrambles back to her feet, favoring her back… BEFORE SOFIA COMES IN WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Wynter goes rolling underneath the bottom rope… BEFORE TRAE CHARGES IN WITH A BIG BOOT OF HIS OWN— BUT SOFIA AVOIDS IT! Slipping behind him instead for a REAR WAISTLOCK!
Gavin Kirkland: Trae thrashes around in the hold before simply opting to throw multiple back elbows to the face of Drakos! Trae swings for one last one, looking to break her grip… BUT SOFIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, and Trae spins around into an… ELBOW SMASH!
Deadprez: TRAE IS STUNNED, on wobbly legs, as Sofia grabs him from behind in another REAR WAISTLOCK! She sends Trae chest first into the ropes before rolling him up with an O’CONNOR ROLL! Trae bumps right into Wynter in the process, knocking her off the apron as she was climbing back onto it!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Sienna Swann: KICKOUT! Trae kicks out and sends Sofia stumbling forward… WHERE SHE GETS CAUGHT WITH AN APRON ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI BY GRACE once her head sticks through the middle rope!
Gavin Kirkland: Sofia collapses to the mat, clutching at her head before rolling out to ringside. Grace remains at ringside herself, taking a moment to catch her breath as Wynter slowly stirs back to her feet beside her… AND FROM THE HEAVENS! TRAE COMES FLYING WITH A TOPE CON HILO ONTO BOTH WOMEN!
(Trae lands on his feet with so much momentum that he stumbles forward, bumping ribs first into the announce table. He winces in pain for a moment, but quickly notices the camera pointed his way. A grin spreads across his face as he points down at Grace and Wynter, both writhing in pain on the floor, taking the opportunity to fire off a quick quip.)
Trae Brooks: (off-mic) “AIR TRAE DONE LANDED, NIGGA!”
Gavin Kirkland: Well… I won’t be repeating what he just said, but—
Deadprez: Yeah, you bet not.
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa:
Sienna Swann: Trae has all the momentum at the moment, sweetie, and quickly refocuses by dragging Grace back to her feet before rolling her inside the ring. Grace staggers into the corner, trying to create some distance, but Trae is right on her! STOMP TO THE MIDSECTION IN THE CORNER! AND ANOTHER! Trae hauls Grace back upright in the corner before climbing up to the middle rope!
(Trae raises his fist high above his head, signaling to the crowd exactly what’s coming next.)
Trae Brooks: (off-mic) “AYE, BRAZIL! MAKE SOME NOISE!”
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE—
Deadprez: GRACE AVOIDS THE LAST PUNCH! She slips right through Trae’s legs and catches him with a SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! Trae drops to the canvas, clutching at the back of that knee as Grace quickly drags him away from the ropes by the ankle! De Luca looks to capitalize with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE STOPS HERSELF AT THE LAST SECOND AS WYNTER SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING! RUNNING FOREARM! Wynter gets blasted right back out to ringside! Grace goes right back to work, looking to lock Trae into that FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK and take away his biggest weapon, that high flying ability! BUT GRACE CUTS HERSELF OFF AGAIN AS SHE SPOTS SOFIA CLIMBING BACK ONTO THE APRON!
Sienna Swann: GRACE WALKS OVER AND KNOCKS SOFIA RIGHT BACK OFF THE APRON WITH A RIGHT HAND! Finally, Grace turns her attention back to Trae, looking for that FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK once again… BUT TRAE ROLLS HER UP WITH A SMALL PACKAGE HALFWAY THROUGH!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: ONLY A TWO COUNT! Grace scrambles back to her feet, beating Trae to the punch as he rises to a knee, still slowed down by that injured leg. Grace marches toward him… BUT TRAE BAITED HER IN! He springs up with a SUPERMAN ELBOW! Grace is stunned! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Trae rebounds BACK FIRST off the ropes before spinning through with a CORKSCREW ENZUIGIRI! RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!
Sienna Swann: This young man is certainly a joy to watch, I must say. Trae pops right back to his feet… BUT WYNTER SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND DRIVES A KICK INTO HIS MIDSECTION! Grace wisely rolls underneath the bottom rope, leaving just Wynter and Trae in the ring. FOREARM SMASH BY WYNTER! …BUT TRAE FIRES RIGHT BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: FOREARM BY WYNTER! FOREARM BY TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! Oh, now they’re speeding things up! WYNTER! TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! WYNTER! TRAE! Neither one is giving an inch!
Deadprez: Both competitors are starting to crash a bit now, feeling the toll of those forearms as they lean against one another just to stay standing, their heads resting on each other’s shoulders in a weak clinch… BEFORE TRAE EXPLODES WITH ANOTHER FOREARM! BUT SOFIA SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, BLASTING TRAE WITH A FOREARM BEFORE TURNING AND DOING THE SAME TO WYNTER!
Sienna Swann: KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO TRAE! FOREARM TO WYNTER! Wynter staggers back into the corner as Sofia turns her attention back to Trae, driving a KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Trae doubles over, and Sofia shoots off the ropes… INTO A KICK TO THE GUT! Trae cuts her off with a kick to the midsection!
Gavin Kirkland: Sofia doubles over as Trae immediately shifts his focus to Wynter, seeing her closing in with a KICK TO THE GUT— BUT TRAE CATCHES IT! Trae’s got the boot… OOH! Sofia takes the free shot with a FOREARM TO THE JAW! That forces Trae to let go as he staggers backward!
Deadprez: Wynter swings wildly… BUT THE POWERHOUSE SOFIA DRAKOS SNATCHES HER UP! EXPLODER SUPLEX! Wynter crawls into the corner, pulling herself back up in the opposite corner from where Trae staggered… AND SOFIA CHARGES TOWARD TRAE WITH A RUNNING JUMPING SPLASH IN THE CORNER!
Sienna Swann: Sofia doesn’t stop there! She sprints across the ring and drives a STINGER SPLASH into Wynter in the opposite corner! NOW BACK TO TRAE! STINGER SPLASH— NO! TRAE GETS THE BACK ELBOW UP! Sofia runs right into it as she comes charging into the corner!
(Sofia turns around, temporarily stunned, as Grace opportunistically slides back into the ring. She points a finger at Drakos before charging straight at her—)
Deadprez: :mjlol:
Sienna Swann: I’ll admit, that was rather funny, sweetie… as Grace runs right into a URANAGE FROM DRAKOS! Sofia simply scoops her up and plants her into the canvas! Grace rolls out onto the apron as Trae bursts out of the corner… RIGHT INTO A SCOOP POWERSLAM FROM DRAKOS! The “Goddess” is imposing her will over this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, and she can impose her will over me any day. :mjlit:
Sienna Swann: You have issues, sweetie.
Deadprez: Sofia gets back to her feet before Wynter catches her with a FOREARM! SLAP! KICK TO THE LEG! SPINNING BACKFIST! DISCUS CLOTHESLI— OH NO! Sofia slips behind her, trapping the arm with a HALF NELSON! But Wynter still has one arm free and fires a BACK ELBOW!
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH! Then scoops Wynter right up into a FIREMAN’S CARRY! Sofia has her in position for “TWELVE LABORS,” looking for the F5! BUT WYNTER SLIPS OFF THE SHOULDERS BEHIND HER AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER! Wynter connects with “BAROTRAUMA!”
Sienna Swann: Sofia rolls over beside the ropes onto all fours, clutching the back of her neck as Wynter closes in.
Gavin Kirkland: You could say that Wynter is… approaching. :mjgrin:
Sienna Swann: Not your best work, sweetie, but it’s alright.
Gavin Kirkland: :kyrie:
Deadprez: Wynter drags Sofia back to her feet and slams her FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Sofia leans forward in the corner, stunned with her back turned as Wynter muscles her up onto the top turnbuckle! That took some serious strength considering the size difference! Wynter climbs up to the middle rope behind Drakos, looking to hook her up for an AVALANCHE BACK SUPLEX— BUT HERE COMES TRAE! Trae leaps up outta nowhere and clubs Wynter across the back!
(Trae grabs hold of Wynter’s gear and yanks her down to the mat before climbing up to the middle rope himself.)
Sienna Swann: I suppose Trae wanted to deliver the move himself, sweetie. He drives a few hard shots into Sofia’s upper back before hooking her up for an AVALANCHE BACK SUPLEX AS WELL! …BUT GRACE! Grace clubs Trae across the back and yanks him down to the mat before dropping him with a HEAVY FOREARM!
(Grace violently points her finger down at Trae as he lies on the canvas, taking a moment to shake the cobwebs out.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) “HMPH! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET!”
Gavin Kirkland: Indeed! Go ahead, Grace! Climb that middle rope!
Deadprez: Dude, she ain’t gonna fuck you, bro.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey! A guy can’t show his support? …also, really? She said that? :lupe:
Sienna Swann: :snoop:
Deadprez: :wtf:
Sienna Swann: I’m at a loss for words, sweetie… but Grace climbs up to the middle rope, looking to become the next person to try and remove Sofia from the top turnbuckle with an AVALANCHE BACK SUPLEX— BUT SOFIA’S BEEN GIVEN TOO MUCH TIME TO RECOVER! She starts firing back with MULTIPLE BACK ELBOWS! Really winding up on that last one to finally knock Grace off the middle rope!
Deadprez: Sofia shakes the cobwebs outta her head before slowly pulling herself into position on the top turnbuckle. Her back is to Grace, who’s laid out on the canvas in perfect position…
Gavin Kirkland: What’s she going for?
Deadprez: …MOONSAULT!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! SHE MISSED IT! Grace rolled out of the way at the very last second!
Deadprez: Grace pulls herself up in one corner while Sofia rolls into another, clutching at her ribs in agony as— WYNTER COMES FLYING IN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE TO GRACE IN THE CORNER! Grace crumples to the canvas before rolling out to ringside as Wynter immediately turns her attention to Trae in the opposite corner!
Sienna Swann: WYNTER CHARGES IN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE— BUT TRAE CATCHES HER! REVERSE STO INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Wynter gets driven FACE FIRST into the middle turnbuckle with authority!
Gavin Kirkland: Wynter melts down into the bottom turnbuckle, her eyes completely glossed over as Trae struggles back to his feet…
(Trae slowly returns to his feet, stumbling back toward the center of the ring before looking around at the carnage. Sofia is down in one corner, writhing in pain while clutching at her ribs. Grace remains down at ringside, still trying to recover. Wynter is struggling to pull herself back up in the opposite corner, even with the ropes helping her. For the moment, Trae stands as the only competitor left on his feet, a smirk slowly spreading across his face.)
Deadprez: Trae’s the only one left standing, and now he’s got a decision to make. Does he go after Wynter, Sofia, or Grace?
Sienna Swann: Looks like he’s made up his mind. Wynter Kurayami is trying to pull herself back up in the corner, and Trae’s making a beeline for her! He lifts Wynter onto the top turnbuckle before popping her RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES with a right hand! Trae climbs to the middle rope, looking to hook her up for a superplex— BUT HAS TO LET GO AS GRACE DE LUCA HOPS UP ON THE APRON AND GRABS HIM BY THE ANKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: TRAE’S NOT HAVING IT! HE PEPPERS GRACE WITH RIGHT HANDS, KNOCKING HER BACK OFF THE APRON! …But that gave Wynter all the time she needed! SHE STARTS FIRING BACK WITH FOREARMS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! TRAE’S ROCKED UP THERE! WYNTER TURNS THINGS AROUND AND HOOKS HIM UP FOR A SUPERPLEX OF HER OWN! …Uh… guys? That’s a really bad spot to be in.
Sienna Swann: I’d say so, sweetie. If Wynter actually pulls this off, she’s going to suplex both Trae and herself right out of the ring. :lupe:
Deadprez: NO! Trae fights it off with shots to the body before climbing up to the top rope in that superplex position— BUT SOFIA! SOFIA’S BACK ON HER FEET! SHE COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A POWERBOMB ON BROOKS! TOWER OF DOOM! TRAE STILL BRINGS WYNTER CRASHING DOWN WITH THE SUPERPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: THE STRENGTH OF THIS MUSCLE MOMMY! 😍
Sienna Swann: Sweetie…
Deadprez: Sofia staggers back into the corner, taking a moment to catch her breath while Trae and Wynter are laid out on the mat! Sofia finally steps forward to capitalize— BUT GRACE GRABS HER BY THE ANKLE! SHE YANKS SOFIA UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, HOOKS THE ARMS FROM BEHIND, AND PLANTS HER WITH **I’M PRETTIEST!**
Gavin Kirkland: “I’M PRETTIEST” CONNECTS ON THE OUTSIDE! GRACE HURRIES BACK INTO THE RING, LOOKING TO STEAL *SOFIA’S* HARD WORK! SHE HOOKS THE LEG ON TRAE!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Sienna Swann: NO! TRAE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Grace wastes no time, immediately diving onto Wynter for another cover! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Sienna Swann: WYNTER POWERS OUT! Grace is beside herself! She quickly drags Wynter back to her feet and throws her through the middle rope to the outside! Now Grace turns her attention back to Trae, who’s just managed to work his way onto all fours…
Deadprez: Grace gets him up to a knee— BUT TRAE STARTS FIRING BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE MIDSECTION! TRAE POWERS TO HIS FEET WITH A FOREARM! GRACE DOUBLES OVER! JAB! JAB! JAB! JA— OOH! GRACE SHUTS HIM DOWN WITH A KICK TO THE GUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Trae doubles over as Grace hops up to the middle rope— BUT TRAE RUSHES DE LUCA! GRACE LEAPS OVER HIS HEAD AND ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET! …BUT TRAE ROLLS OUT OF THE CORNER FOR **TRIUMPH OF THE IMMACULATE!**
Sienna Swann: ROLLING CANADIAN DESTROYER— NO! GRACE CATCHES HIM OUT OF MID-AIR IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY! SHE STUMBLES A BIT BEFORE FINDING HER FOOTING, THEN CONNECTS WITH THE DETONATION KICK! **WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY!** TRAE’S STILL STANDING, BUT HE’S COMPLETELY OUT ON HIS FEET! GRACE SCRAMBLES BACK UP, SNATCHES HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, AND LOOKS TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!
Deadprez: **PERFECTION PLEX!** THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS! GRACE CRAWLS INTO THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: KICKOUT! STILL NO ELIMINATIONS! THESE FOUR HAVE BEEN THROWING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING AT EACH OTHER, AND NOBODY’S STAYING DOWN! …You know, after everything those ladies have been through tonight, I should probably go check on them. :mjlit:
Sienna Swann: Or… you could stay exactly where you are, sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: Whatever you say! …Literally. Your every word.
(Trae is suddenly dragged underneath the bottom rope by his ankle, clutching the back of his head as he writhes in pain after the hard landing. Grace glances over to see what’s happening before quickly scrambling to her feet, immediately throwing both hands up in surrender as she spots a vengeful Sofia Drakos waiting at ringside.)
Deadprez: Uh-oh… Sofia’s back, and she definitely hasn’t forgotten about Grace planting her with “I’m Prettiest” out at ringside!
(Sofia slowly pulls herself onto the apron, staring holes through Grace as she continues pleading from inside the ring.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Sofia, please! I already forgave myself for that, so I really think you should too!
Deadprez: GRACE SEES SHE’S NOT GETTING THROUGH TO SOFIA AND TRIES TO CATCH HER WITH A CHEAP SHOT INSTEAD! BUT SOFIA THRUSTS HER SHOULDER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, DRIVING IT RIGHT INTO GRACE’S MIDSECTION! GRACE DOUBLES OVER, AND SOFIA SLINGSHOTS HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE! FRONT FLIP! SHE ROLLS OVER GRACE’S BACK AND LANDS ON HER FEET RIGHT BEHIND HER!
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA GOES FOR A BACK SUPLEX! BUT GRACE FLIPS OUT AND LANDS ON HER FEET! SOFIA TURNS AROUND— BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE KNEE! THAT DROPS DRAKOS TO ONE KNEE! GRACE POPS BACK UP, LINING HER UP FOR BITTERSWEET— NO! SOFIA CATCHES THE SUPERKICK! SHE YANKS GRACE RIGHT INTO **HERCULES’ WRATH!**
Sienna Swann: GRACE IS IN A PANIC, FLAILING HER ARMS FOR DEAR LIFE! BUT SOFIA SIMPLY TOSSES HER ASIDE! GRACE HITS THE CANVAS AND GOES ROLLING OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AS SOFIA SPOTS TRAE SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING! TRAE SWINGS WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT SOFIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND IMMEDIATELY LOCKS IN HERCULES’ WRATH! SHE’S GOT THAT REAR NAKED CHOKE CINCHED IN, BUT SHE CAN’T TAKE HIM DOWN JUST YET!
Deadprez: TRAE TAKES OFF FOR THE CORNER, DUCKING BETWEEN THE TOP AND MIDDLE TURNBUCKLES! SOFIA GETS PULLED FORWARD, SMASHING FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO BREAK THE HOLD! SHE STAGGERS BACK— TRAE SHOOTS OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! SOFIA FIRES ONE RIGHT BACK! BOTH COMPETITORS COLLIDE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: BOTH SOFIA AND TRAE STUMBLE BACK MOMENTARILY ON WOBBLY LEGS BEFORE COLLIDING ONCE AGAIN WITH STEREO CLOTHESLINE! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE STAGGERED A SECOND TIME BEFORE MEETING IN THE MIDDLE WITH A THIR— NO! SOFIA SWATS TRAE’S ARM DOWN, DOUBLING HIM OVER AS HE GRABS AT IT! SOFIA THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Sienna Swann: BUT TRAE DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES— OH! SOFIA CHARGES TOWARD THE SAME SET OF ROPES HERSELF, PERFORMING A TIGER FEINT AS TRAE SPINS AROUND IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! GOD’S LAST GIFT— NO! WENT FOR THAT TIGER FEINT INTO DISCUS LARIAT, BUT TRAE DUCKED UNDERNEATH IT AND SPINS AROUND!
Deadprez: **GOD’S LAST GIFT!!** SOFIA USES HER OTHER ARM TO DELIVER WITH THE CLOTHESLINE AND TAKES TRAE OFF HIS FEET! BUT SOFIA IS QUICK TO DRAG HIM BACK UP FOR THE **TWELVE LABORS!!** F-5 CONNECTS! SOFIA HOOKS THE LEG DEEP ON TRAE!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gina Romano: TRAE BROOKS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Trae Brooks rolls out of the ring as Sofia turns her attention to Wynter at ringside, who is leaning back against the apron trying to recover. Sofia marches over, grabs a handful of Wynter’s hair, and drags her back into the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA’S GOT WYNTER! SHE PULLS HER RIGHT BETWEEN HER LEGS FOR A POWERBOMB! GOD, I WISH I WAS IN THAT POSITION! SOFIA’S LOOKING FOR OLYMPUS DESCENT! THAT BUCKLE BOMB— BUT WYNTER COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP! SOFIA GETS LAUNCHED OVERHEAD AND SCRAMBLES INTO THE CORNER, CLUTCHING AT HER BACK!
Deadprez: Wynter staggers into the opposite corner, keeping her eyes locked on Sofia as Drakos pulls herself back to her feet! WYNTER CHARGES IN— OH! SOFIA SIDESTEPS AT THE LAST SECOND! WYNTER GOES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Sienna Swann: Wynter slips out to the apron, landing on all fours… Sofia climbs to the middle rope and drags Wynter back to her feet! It looks like she’s trying for a DEADLIFT VERTICAL SUPLEX from the middle rope— BUT GRACE HOPS UP ONTO THE APRON AND DRIVES A SHOT INTO SOFIA’S RIBS!
Deadprez: Grace climbs to the middle turnbuckle and starts unloading with CLUBS TO THE BACK! ONE AFTER ANOTHER! SOFIA’S FORCED TO LET GO OF WYNTER!
(Wynter collapses onto her side on the apron, struggling to shake the cobwebs from her head.)
Deadprez: Grace climbs to the top turnbuckle and goes for an AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! BUT SOFIA HANGS ONTO THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS! DRAKOS ISN’T BUDGING! Grace lands back on her feet and immediately tries to peel Sofia off the ropes anyway, but the raw power of Drakos is just too much!
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA TAGS GRACE RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH A PUNCH! THAT DROPS GRACE TO A SEATED POSITION ON THE CANVAS, AND SHE ROLLS AWAY TO ALL FOURS, TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS LOOSE! NOW SOFIA STARTS TO CLIMB DOWN OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE—
Deadprez: BUT WYNTER’S BACK UP ON THE APRON! ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! SOFIA’S ROCKED! GRACE SCRAMBLES BACK TO HER FEET, RUSHES OVER, AND TRAPS SOFIA’S HEAD AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Sienna Swann: **BITTERSWEET CHIN MUSIC! BITTERSWEET CHIN MUSIC! BITTERSWEET CHIN MUSIC!** THREE SUPERKICKS CRASH INTO SOFIA WHILE HER HEAD IS PINNED AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! GRACE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A POWERBOMB OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! SOFIA LANDS HIGH ON HER NECK AND SHOULDERS!
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE STACKS HER UP FOR THE COVER! FEET ON THE MIDDLE ROPE!
(Still kneeling on the apron, Wynter gathers herself before wrapping one arm around Grace’s ankle and the middle rope, giving Grace even more leverage on the cover.)
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gina Romano: SOFIA DRAKOS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Wynter drops back onto her side on the apron, laughing to herself as she taps the side of her head, signaling how smart she is. Grace releases the cover and drops off the middle rope, staring down at Sofia with her mouth hanging open in complete disbelief and excitement, shocked she actually managed to eliminate the powerhouse.)
Deadprez: SOFIA DRAKOS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! WE’RE DOWN TO THE FINAL TWO! IT’S GRACE DE LUCA AND WYNTER KURAYAMI, AND ONE OF THESE WOMEN IS ABOUT TO PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO A NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
Sienna Swann: They may have worked together for a moment, but that’s over now. It’s every woman for herself, and only one of them is leaving with that title opportunity.
(Sofia rolls toward the ropes to exit the ring, and Grace follows right behind from inside, talking trash with every roll Sofia takes. Grace doesn’t stop until she reaches the ropes, leaning over them to continue jawing at Sofia as she makes it out to ringside.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Better luck next time! I’m sure you’ll get over it eventually!
(Wynter rolls back into the ring from the apron as Grace turns to face her. Grace confidently walks toward Wynter, extending a hand with a smug grin, seemingly looking to thank her for the assist.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) You actually did something useful for once. Good job! 😊
(Wynter continues to stare at Grace with almost eerie smile before—)
Gavin Kirkland: OH, KICK TO THE GUT! WYNTER REMINDING GRACE THERE ARE NO FRIENDS IN A FATAL FOUR WAY AS GRACE DE LUCA DOUBLES OVER!
(Wynter cups Grace’s jaw with one hand while gently stroking her hair with the other, that same eerie smile never leaving her face.)
Wynter Kurayami: (off-mic) You did very well too, Gracie. That’s why I saved you for last. 😊
Gavin Kirkland: WYNTER PULLS HER INTO **CRIPPLING REALITY!** GOING FOR THAT FISHERMAN DRIVER!
Sienna Swann: BUT GRACE REVERSES INTO A SMALL PACKAGE AS SHE BEGAN TO HOIST HER UP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Sienna Swann: KICKOUT! BOTH WOMEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET! WYNTER THROWS A WILD CLOTHESLINE— BUT GRACE DUCKS UNDERNEATH! SHE SLIPS BEHIND WYNTER AND PLANTS HER WITH A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: BEAUTIFUL COUNTER BY GRACE! SHE BRIDGES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: WYNTER GETS THE SHOULDER UP—
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: WAIT, WHAT?! WYNTER GOT THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! WHY DID THE REFEREE CALL FOR THE BELL?!
Sienna Swann: I don’t know! That looked like a kickout to me! What on earth just happened?!
(Wynter rolls onto her stomach as Grace De Luca releases the bridge and pops up to both knees, overjoyed, convinced she’s just won the match. The referee immediately tries to explain something to her, but Grace doesn’t hear a word of it. She springs to her feet and excitedly wraps the referee in a hug, looking like she’s on the verge of tears.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Thank you! Thank you! You don’t even have to say it, I know! All my hard work finally paid off! 😊
(Grace grabs the referee by the wrist and excitedly lifts her own arm into the air in celebration— only for the referee to immediately pull free and lower it again. Grace’s smile fades into confusion as the referee walks past her to Wynter, who has just managed to push herself up onto all fours. He helps Wynter to her feet by the arm before raising it high, officially declaring her the winner, while over Wynter’s shoulder, Grace can be seen absolutely irate, screaming in protest at the decision.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of this match… WYNTER KURAYAMI!!
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) WHAT?!
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) EXCUSE ME?! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I PINNED HER! I COUNTED ALONG! ONE, TWO, THR—
(The referee releases Wynter’s arm as “Phantasmagory” by Denkare begins to play. Wynter remains where she stands, smiling to herself as she catches her breath, while behind her the referee immediately turns his attention to Grace De Luca, who continues furiously arguing the decision.)
(The referee points back to the finish before pointing at Grace’s shoulders, explaining that both of her shoulders were down on the mat during the German suplex. Grace immediately shakes her head over and over, refusing to believe it.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) WHAT?! NO THEY WEREN’T! YOU WERE COUNTING HER! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BE LOOKING AT ME?!
(Grace grabs both sides of her head in complete disbelief before suddenly snapping. She storms over and blindsides Wynter while she’s posing on the middle rope.)
Rich Russillo: OOH! EVER THE SORE LOSER! GRACE DE LUCA BLINDSIDES WYNTER FROM BEHIND ON THAT MIDDLE ROPE!
(Wynter’s face collides with the top of the ring post before she tumbles to ringside, looking completely dazed. Only then does the referee rush over, spinning Grace around and immediately laying into her over the attack. Grace looks around for a brief moment before—)
(# LOW BLOW!)
(The referee drops to all fours, clutching at his groin in agony as Grace stands over him, screaming while aggressively jabbing a finger down at him.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) THAT’S WHAT YOU GET! MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU’LL COUNT THE RIGHT PERSON! I’M THE VICTIM HERE, NOT YOU! DO YOUR JOB! DO YOUR JOB! DO YOUR JOB!
(Grace storms through the middle rope and marches angrily up the ramp, ranting to herself in complete disbelief over what just transpired.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Oh, just WAIT until Kennedy Street hears about this! I am filing the BIGGEST complaint this company has ever seen! THIS ISN’T OVER!
(Grace continues marching up the ramp before disappearing behind the curtain, her voice still echoing through the arena.)
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) KENNEDY! KENNEDYYYYYY! WHERE ARE YOU?! KENNEDY!!!
Deadprez: Wynter Kurayami is still the winner, and she’s earned a future New Breed Championship match, but Grace De Luca has left absolute chaos behind after refusing to accept the decision.
Sienna Swann: Wynter got what she came for, sweetie, but between Grace attacking her and dropping the referee, this ending became far uglier than it ever needed to be.
(The camera fades elsewhere, leaving behind the aftermath of Grace De Luca’s outburst as the referee continues writhing in pain inside the ring while Wynter remains down at ringside, clutching the side of her head.)
(Midsummer Massacre returns from the commercial break with the next match graphic showing on the titantron.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A MEXICAN RULES MATCH! THE STIPULATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: THIS MATCH WILL BE CONTESTED UNDER A TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS FORMAT, WITH A TWENTY COUNT FOR COUNTOUTS, AND PILEDRIVERS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED THROUGHOUT!
(‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons plays through the arena into a substantial wall of booing as El Duque makes his entrance, Silas Mason following closely behind and patting his charge on the back repeatedly while getting himself equally hyped for this occasion. Both men walk to the ring with enormous confidence written across their body language, wide grins firmly in place.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… MASKED & MARVELOUS!… ELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!… DUQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: El Duque arrives here tonight to stake his claim in a contest that has been building between these two for quite some time, and tonight he is here to demonstrate exactly what he is capable of against a Cody Maverick who has had his own complications developing alongside this rivalry!
Sienna Swann: Why does this music keep playing in arenas as though the crowd actually wants this person out here? The mask is doing a great deal of heavy lifting aesthetically and even that is not enough to make this palatable, sweetie. Remove him from my sight at the earliest convenience!
Deadprez: Cody Maverick has a genuinely demanding task ahead of him tonight and I firmly believe that El Duque has proven himself a legitimate threat in this format by virtue of what he has already shown us he is capable of. Tonight is positioned to reveal the full depth of what El Duque can truly do when placed across from one of the finest competitors EAW has available right now.
(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher plays into a warm and appreciative reaction from the crowd as Cody Maverick walks straight toward the ring with that unmistakable look in his eyes, the kind that communicates he came here tonight with one singular purpose and every distraction has been left somewhere far behind him.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!… FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS!… THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR!…. CODYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!… MAVERICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Throughout this entire build, Cody Maverick has made it abundantly clear that he is deeply unsettled by what El Duque has become and what that transformation represents. Tonight he is not looking to simply win a match. He wants to knock some sense into whoever is underneath that mask and remind them of exactly who they used to be before Silas Mason got his hands on them.
Sienna Swann: Genuinely tragic as a concept, sweetie, because who in their right mind would voluntarily align themselves with Silas Mason unless the alternatives were somehow worse? Whatever El Duque was before this chapter of his career, Silas Mason has ensured it is something fundamentally worse now.
Gavin Kirkland: Cody is walking into this arena tonight with everything on the line and the intention of putting Silas Mason’s latest project firmly in its place once and for all, protecting Showdown from another prolonged Silas World infestation! He is about to secure the decisive victory in this Mexican Rules rematch where El Duque was supposed to dominate, and Cody intends to prove that the only thing El Duque is good at is disappointing everyone who is not Silas Mason!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Mexican Rules is officially on its way, and we are ready to wrestle here at Midsummer Massacre!
Deadprez: Quality professional wrestling is incoming, ladies and gentlemen. You know what they said? Lock in!
Sienna Swann: Anything that results in the systematic destruction of Silas World and everyone operating within that orbit works perfectly for me, sweetie. With that said, I am fully invested in Cody Maverick walking out of this match with his hand raised.
Deadprez: We are underway, and both men meet deliberately at the centre of the ring in a collar and elbow tie-up. The crowd is producing a genuinely electric reaction for this contest, and now they settle into watching it unfold with the kind of measured anticipation that a match of this calibre deserves. While we speak, El Duque is already working to disrupt Cody’s grip, maneuvering around and converting it into a waistlock from behind to immediately counter whatever Maverick had in mind.
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick uses his own bodyweight to shift the angle slightly, creating just enough looseness in the hold to work with, and seizes El Duque’s arm before the masked man can reassert his position! Maverick wrenches it into a hammerlock, asserting his technical authority early and dictating the terms of this exchange from the very first contact!
Deadprez: El Duque summons a sudden and precise burst of speed to grab Cody and immediately pries the hold off, demonstrating just how sharp the instincts are underneath that mask! Now he has Cody in a side headlock, controlling the pace and the positioning simultaneously!
Sienna Swann: Maverick sees absolutely no value in allowing this fraudulent little masked individual to dictate any portion of this match, sweetie. He pries the hold apart with control, transitions straight into a top wristlock from the front, bends it back and drives El Duque down to one knee! Everyone watching this match with any level of discernment can see a man delivering long overdue justice to a Silas World imposter, and the crowd is showing its appreciation for exactly that.
Gavin Kirkland: Duque attempts to find some purchase and create a counter from the position but Maverick reads every intention before it can fully form, wrenching the wristlock tighter and giving El Duque absolutely no comfortable avenue to work from! Duque is being forced to pause and reassess his entire approach before committing to anything further!
Deadprez: Duque finally attempts to flip the dynamic by twisting the arm outward, but Maverick captures it immediately and drives it right back into wrist control, now grinding his own elbow directly into the joint that has already been targeted and softened throughout this early exchange!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick throws his leg over the arm that he already has secured in the hold and looks to compound the control further, but El Duque identifies the brief gap created by the transition and uses it to trip Cody forward and bring him down to the mat! Now Duque gains control of the leg and the situation has taken a potentially dangerous turn for Maverick as El Duque immediately sinks in an Ankle Lock! Maverick is being placed in a deeply uncomfortable position early as El Duque asserts his own regime over this match again!
Deadprez: But Maverick crawls with urgency toward the nearest set of ropes and reaches them before El Duque can fully cinch the submission in, forcing the break before any real damage can accumulate from it. Silas Mason watches from ringside with a conflicted expression, equal parts frustrated that Cody escaped and grudgingly acknowledging the effort El Duque put into the attempt.
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Come on, Duque. Do not let him off the hook that easily.
Sienna Swann: Must he insert himself into every single moment of every single match his people compete in, sweetie? By the way, what the hell is he wearing? That suit is horrible.
Gavin Kirkland: Duque eventually releases the hold, allowing Maverick the space to recompose himself, and now both men are back on their feet and circling with deliberate patience. Maverick is tracking every movement with careful and measured eyes, refusing to commit to anything until the right opening presents itself. Both men look to clash again, and it appears another collar and elbow tie-up is forming, but Maverick fakes it out entirely and drops down looking for the double leg takedown!
Deadprez: Duque reads the feint and steps cleanly over the arm before the transition can gain any traction, then looks to establish wrist control from the side this time! But Maverick sends him sailing over with a sharp armdrag before the grip can be secured! Duque comes back in, and Maverick scores a second armdrag over him immediately, and this time he keeps Duque pinned to the canvas and maintains the hold to keep everything firmly under his control!
Sienna Swann: Maverick has clearly absorbed the lesson from that earlier rope break, sweetie, and he is applying it immediately. Keeping El Duque grounded and working that arm with sustained intent rather than releasing the pressure and allowing him to reset.
Gavin Kirkland: Duque has been held down by the arm for a sustained moment and begins rolling to try and create some separation, managing to kip back up to his feet! But Maverick trips him straight back down to the canvas before he can fully establish his footing, secures the arm again and kneels into it, wrenching downward with added pressure and grinding into the joint with relentless focus!
Deadprez: Duque searching for an exit from the sustained arm work and finds one, planting his feet firmly and using his entire body weight to twist sideways toward the canvas, generating just enough torque to break the angle of the hold! Look at this, he gets himself upright once more and Maverick is still reaching to maintain that arm, but Duque seizes both hands, reverses the leverage completely and sends Maverick flying over with an armdrag of his own!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick stumbles back to his feet and El Duque immediately goes for a follow-up armdrag, but Maverick slips out of it and rolls Duque up from behind with a quick and clever pin attempt, looking to steal the first fall in this Mexican Rules contest before Duque can reorganise!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!–
Gavin Kirkland: Duque kicks out and shoves Maverick away, immediately applying a waistlock from behind and perhaps looking to set up the Rolling Chaos Theory early in this match! But Maverick yanks himself toward the ropes, grabs hold and El Duque comes off with absolutely nothing to show for it!
Sienna Swann: El Duque tries to come back at him but Maverick DROPS him quickly with a Scoop Slam and hooks the leg without hesitation!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sienna Swann: Unfortunately, he kicks out at two, which is not something I particularly enjoy witnessing, sweetie.
Deadprez: Maverick continues to assert control in this match and is making sure to keep Duque from finding any sustained rhythm or breathing room. Duque gets hauled back up to his feet and sent hard into the corner, Maverick following immediately with a Running Clothesline that rattles every limb in Duque’s body!
Gavin Kirkland: Duque stumbles back upright, and Maverick keeps the pressure building with another clothesline out of the corner! Duque gets back to his feet and eats a right hand from Maverick that sends him staggering sideways! Maverick loads up another right hand, but Duque ends up falling to the outside before it can connect, robbing Maverick of the clean shot!
Sienna Swann: And who in their right mind is going to allow a Silas World member a comfortable escape, sweetie? Maverick certainly is not. He hops through the ropes to the outside and seizes Duque before DRIVING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Precisely the kind of decisive and unforgiving response that situation required, and I am not remotely sorry to enjoy it.
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is not finished with the mask either, continuing to work the head and the structure behind it while the referee tries to call both men back inside the ring! Maverick then grabs Duque and DRIVES his back into the nearest section of barricade, leaving him sprawled and struggling on the floor!
Deadprez: El Duque gets tossed back inside the ring without a single moment of recovery time afforded to him after everything he just absorbed out on the floor. He is limping back to his feet as Maverick slides back inside and seizes him from behind, dropping him with a Running Leg Sweep! Maverick now climbing to the second rope…
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) CO-DY MAVERICK!
Crowd: CO-DY MAVERICK!
Deadprez: Diving Elbow from the second rope crashes down onto El Duque and Silas Mason watches from ringside with a visible grimace of dissatisfaction as Maverick hooks the leg directly in front of him!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Diving Elbow from the second rope crashes down onto El Duque, and Silas Mason watches from the ringside with a visible grimace of dissatisfaction as Maverick hooks the leg directly in front of him!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: Duque kicks out again despite absorbing some genuinely meaningful punishment in this stretch, making it abundantly clear that the job is far from finished regardless of how controlled Maverick has looked.
Sienna Swann: That is perfectly fine, sweetie. We have all evening to put Silas Mason through the particular misery of watching his prize asset get systematically dismantled by Cody Maverick.
Deadprez: Maverick hauls Duque back to his feet with measured patience and begins working deliberate right hooks, carefully and precisely targeting the body with each jab, landing shot after shot against El Duque, who is absorbing every one of them on shaky legs! Jab after jab, Maverick finally swings for the Discus Lariat combination, but Duque slips underneath it and comes off the top rope… RUNNING HURRICANRANA SENDS MAVERICK TUMBLING DIRECTLY INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Despite whatever momentum Maverick had been building, Duque is bringing the fire right back at him and makes his way out of his own positioning to CATCH Maverick with an impressive Handspring Elbow right in the corner!
Sienna Swann: That is probably the most technically impressive thing this dude has produced in his entire career thus far, sweetie, which says a great deal more about the limited ceiling of his career than it does about the quality of the move itself.
Deadprez: Maverick gets rocked by the Handspring Elbow and stumbles toward the far side of the ring! Duque comes out of the corner and passes Maverick, who turns to look for him as Duque comes back around! Maverick tries to intercept with a clothesline but Duque avoids it and pumps his speed up at the precise moment!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick tries again and still cannot connect!– DUQUE OFF THE ROPES AT FULL VELOCITY AND DRIVES MAVERICK ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A POWERFUL SPEAR THAT EVACUATES EVERY OUNCE OF AIR FROM CODY’S BODY!
Deadprez: There is only so much enthusiasm one can reasonably invest in cataloguing the virtues of someone so thoroughly entangled with Donovan Duke’s operation, and that lesson has been thoroughly absorbed at this table.
Sienna Swann: How much longer are we going to pretend that his imaginary friend at ringside is not the single most irritating presence in this building tonight, sweetie?!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is struggling to pull fresh air into his lungs after that Spear drove it all out of him, settling to the canvas as El Duque reads the opportunity and positions himself at the top rope with Maverick slowly laid out below!….. DOWN WITH A POWERFUL FROG SPLASH THAT CRASHES DIRECTLY ONTO CODY MAVERICK AND DUQUE TRANSITIONS STRAIGHT INTO THE COVER WITHOUT A WASTED MOVEMENT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: But Maverick manages to get the shoulder up off that Frog Splash and remains very much alive in this match!
Deadprez: Duque has no intention of allowing Maverick any room to breathe or reset in this Mexican Rules environment and immediately pursues him, grabbing Maverick and rolling him over, securing control of Cody’s arm and transitioning into a Fujiwara Armbar this time! Applying it cleanly onto The Sin City Superstar, who has not yet fully processed the gravity of the situation he is currently locked inside!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick is trying to find a way out of this submission, rolling through and grinding against the Fujiwara Armbar that is wrenching his joint with sustained and unrelenting pressure! He is still fighting and clawing for an exit despite Duque pressing down on him with everything he has!
Deadprez: Maverick eventually manages to roll through the hold far enough to make a legitimate attempt at escape, clearly going for the School Boy roll-up counter to shift the dynamic, but El Duque reads it immediately and counters before Maverick can complete the transition, swinging the leg around and LOCKING IN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! Impressive chain wrestling from El Duque, and you can read exactly how Mason feels about it from the expression on his face at ringside!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Perfect! Subdue him!
Sienna Swann: The technical execution of that Triangle Choke was genuinely sharp, and the chain from the Fujiwara to the Triangle was well-constructed, sweetie, but the only thing making this remotely tolerable is knowing that Maverick has not tapped yet and that insufferable old fart at ringside does not deserve the satisfaction of a submission victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Duque has that Triangle Choke locked in tight, but he has not accounted for what Maverick is slowly building underneath him! Maverick is fighting through the compression of the hold and beginning to lift, working to convert this into a Powerbomb counter!
Deadprez: Duque drops his weight down the instant he feels himself being elevated, pulling Maverick down with him and driving him straight back into the canvas before the Powerbomb can be completed! Maverick tries to clear his head and throws a right hand to create some separation but Duque manages to suppress him once more and reassert control for the time being.
Gavin Kirkland: Duque stuns Cody with a quick sequence of right hands that leave Maverick momentarily seeing stars, dragging him back upright before launching himself toward the ropes and LOOKING FOR THE HANDSPRING STUNNER! But Maverick reads the trajectory at the last possible moment and lets Duque fly cleanly over his back instead! AND SWINGS WITH A ROLLING ELBOW THE MOMENT DUQUE TOUCHES DOWN AND TURNS AROUND THAT DROPS HIM CLEAN!
Deadprez: Maverick gets back on the board and that brings an immediate and visible wave of dissatisfaction washing over Silas Mason’s face at ringside, the man having absolutely no interest in watching his investment absorb this kind of punishment! Maverick hauls Duque over and WRACKS him across the shoulders with the Argentine Backbreaker, sending Duque sliding off and crumpling down to the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Both men have been putting in genuine work tonight, but Cody Maverick is making an emphatic case right now that the real driving force in this match is standing on his side of the ring! Cody Maverick is in control again, and Silas Mason is fuming at ringside!
Sienna Swann: Great, sweetie. He deserves it!
Deadprez: Maverick presses through and drags Duque back up to his feet, pushing him all the way into the ropes and draping his leg over the top rope… FOR THE MONEYMAKER DDT AND HE CONNECTS!
Gavin Kirkland: Duque gets driven headfirst into the canvas, and Silas Mason is screaming from the bottom of his lungs at ringside, desperately willing Duque to survive as Maverick drops straight into the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: DUQUE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND KICKS OUT!
Deadprez: Perhaps the moment for Cody to claim that first fall is arriving right now. El Duque is clearly not operating with a fully clear head after everything he has absorbed, and that is going to take meaningful time to recover from. CODY DRAGS HIM BACK UP SLOWLY AND DRIVES A KICK INTO THE GUT LOOKING FOR THE SIN CITY STUNNER–
Gavin Kirkland: Duque has enough awareness left to read what Maverick is constructing and SHOVES him backward into the corner before it can be fully executed! Duque uses that brief reversal to send Cody back into the corner and catches him coming out with a move that secures the very first fall of this Mexican Rules contest! Maverick stumbles out of the corner, and El Duque spots the opening immediately, heading straight for the top rope and COMING DOWN WITH A CARTWHEEL DDT THAT PLANTS CODY DIRECTLY INTO THE CANVAS!
Sienna Swann: The visible head trauma that El Duque is clearly operating through right now means he is essentially gambling with his own structural integrity in pursuit of a result that should not be going his way, sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, perhaps not quite so unsatisfying when you consider that this man is genuinely working at an impressive level against the reigning King of Elite 2026 in Cody Maverick! Give credit where it is due! Maverick is stumbling back to his feet following that DDT, but El Duque has no intention of allowing any recovery time, drives a kick into the gut and CONNECTS WITH A SNAP DDT THAT SENDS CODY SPRAWLING ON THE CANVAS!
Deadprez: Duque moves without pause and begins ascending to the top rope once more with Maverick still flat on the canvas clutching his head, completely unaware of what is being assembled above him! Maverick starts stumbling back to his feet at the worst possible moment and El Duque reads it instantly, using Cody’s own rising momentum against him… AND FLIES FROM THE TOP WITH A MOONSAULT ONTO THE STANDING MAVERICK! FALLS DIRECTLY INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: KICK OUT! But Maverick has been kept thoroughly on the back foot throughout this entire stretch, and El Duque seizes the legs the instant Cody kicks out, twisting him over and painting Maverick back into a compromised position once more! Duque now hooks the leg and WRENCHES downward with the Boston Crab applied with full commitment!
Gavin Kirkland: El Duque is pulling absolutely every tool out of his arsenal to demonstrate just how complete and layered his technical game truly is in this contest!
Sienna Swann: The only person in this entire building genuinely cheering for El Duque right now is Silas Mason, sweetie, while the rest of Farmasi arena is united in willing Cody Maverick to claim the first fall and begin the process of making Silas World’s evening considerably more miserable. Struggle through it, Cody!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody was already managing accumulated head pain coming into this submission and now he is being wrenched downward with the full force of the Boston Crab compounding the lower back damage on top of everything else! Maverick is slowly, agonisingly dragging himself inch by inch toward the ropes, looking for any escape route available to him in this Mexican Rules environment!
Cody Maverick: (Off-Mic) ARGHHHHHH!
Deadprez: Duque senses the stubborn resistance and Maverick is inching dangerously close to the ropes at this point, forcing Duque to release the hold temporarily and drag Cody back toward the centre of the ring to prevent the break! The crowd continues to pour their support behind Maverick and Cody is feeding off every decibel of it, straining against the position as El Duque keeps wrenching him down with the Boston Crab!
Gavin Kirkland: Wait, El Duque was clearly trying to maintain control of this but Maverick simply would not go down! He is pushing himself off the canvas, twisting his body weight sideways against the angle of the hold, and El Duque is beginning to feel his grip on the submission slipping!
Deadprez: Maverick pushes the pace immediately, driving a kick into El Duque before he can fully reorient himself! El Duque loses his grip on the situation for just a fraction of a second and that is all Maverick needs! MAVERICK TRIPS DUQUE AND ROLLS HIM STRAIGHT INTO A SMALL PACKAGE THE INSTANT HE REGAINS CONTROL!
Gavin Kirkland: CODY IS GOING FOR THE FIRST FALL, AND THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT THERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: DUQUE ALMOST FALLS FOR THE COUNTER BUT KICKS OUT AT TWO! Duque rises back to his feet as Cody begins rolling upright as well, and Maverick immediately hits him with a rapid body shot down the side of the limb the moment he is upright! Maverick follows with a quick knee strike and hauls Duque in, slashing across the chest with a Knife Edge Chop that is more than enough to send Duque stumbling backward!
Deadprez: Duque is shaken for a brief moment and swings back trying to land something of his own, but Cody catches the arm and drives a kick into the gut!— GOING FOR THE SIN CITY STUNNER AGAIN!
Sienna Swann: Goddamit! Why you little– But Duque manages to shove him forward and seizes the wrist, turning Maverick around and locking in the hold before launching him over! HERE IT COMES… ROLLING CHAOS THEORY LAUNCHES CODY OVER AND STRAIGHT INTO THE COVER!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Deadprez: AGONISING NEAR FALL BUT MAVERICK POWERS THE SHOULDER UP AND ESCAPES AT THE LAST POSSIBLE INSTANT!
Gavin Kirkland: Duque stumbles back to his feet following that failed pinfall attempt on Maverick and immediately makes his way toward the corner, ascending to the top rope with purpose! Neither man has secured a fall over the other yet, but El Duque is looking to change that picture right now from the highest point available to him!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) DO IT! HE IS STILL DOWN! FINISH HIM RIGHT NOW!
(## AIR OF MYSTERY!)
Deadprez: DUQUE GOES FOR THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS, AND NOBODY IS HOME! Maverick rolled clear at the last possible instant, and Duque crashes down onto the canvas, clutching his back and barely finding his footing as he staggers back upright—
(## SIN CITY STUNNER!)
Gavin Kirkland: MAVERICK CATCHES HIM THE MOMENT HE TURNS AROUND! THE STUNNER CONNECTS, AND DUQUE IS DOWN! CODY COLLAPSES INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE FIRST FALL!… CODY MAVERICK!
Gavin Kirkland: After everything both men put into this match, Maverick claims the first fall and Silas Mason at ringside can barely contain his outrage at the result unfolding directly in front of him!
Sienna Swann: Someone ought to inform him that the trajectory from this point forward is only going to become considerably more distressing for him, sweetie. I would do it myself, but I am enjoying his current expression far too much to interrupt it.
Crowd: CODY! CODY! CODY! CODY!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody Maverick is one significant step closer to a complete and dominant victory tonight and he needs to maintain his concentration as the match continues! El Duque is barely recovering in the corner following the Sin City Stunner as the referee moves in to check on his condition, with Silas Mason watching the whole situation from ringside with an expression that suggests he is already calculating damage control.
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) You are fine, get back out there and go get him!
Deadprez: The second phase of this match appears to be getting underway as El Duque emerges from the corner and CODY IMMEDIATELY LOOKS TO PUT THIS AWAY WITH THE LIGHTS OUT PUNCH! But Duque reads the arm coming and SNAPS Maverick the instant he steps back into range with a German Suplex, seizing the arm and launching him across the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick stumbles back on severely compromised legs and El Duque comes surging around from behind and delivers ANOTHER German Suplex that sends Cody flying and puts him down yet again!
Sienna Swann: This dude is actually somewhat unhinged, sweetie. How is he producing this kind of output after absorbing a Sin City Stunner clean on the jaw?
Gavin Kirkland: He is not here to be embarrassed anymore, and Cody is stumbling around on a badly damaged head, barely keeping track of where he is! El Duque capitalises on the disorientation, floats completely over the body, and MAGNIFICENTLY LAUNCHES MAVERICK INTO THE AIR WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX VARIANT IN THE FORM OF THE 21 PLEX! The crowd erupts in stunned and genuine awe at the sheer athleticism on display from El Duque in this moment!
Deadprez: The fight has to continue, and El Duque knows it as well as anyone, but Cody is not about to concede an inch despite everything that has been thrown at him! He stumbles back upright trying to reassemble his guard, throws another blind swing and falls completely under El Duque’s control as he gets folded inside out… INTO THE TOUCH OF MAGNIFICENCE DDT THAT PLANTS CODY INTO THE CANVAS WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE! EL DUQUE ROLLS HIM OVER IMMEDIATELY INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Deadprez: CODY GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT THE VERY LAST INSTANT! El Duque scrambles back into position, seizing the arm that Maverick just used to power out and bending it downward before securing the other arm as well, and now has Maverick locked in TIGHT with the Hass of Pain applied in the centre of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Both arms are secured, and Cody has been hoisted up off the canvas into a position where he is completely and utterly at the mercy of the masked man!
Sienna Swann: Where exactly is Duque finding this reserve of strength and will to keep fighting back, sweetie? At what point does the body simply stop honouring those requests?
Gavin Kirkland: That is the question you ask when you see the expression burning through that mask as El Duque squeezes the life out of Cody Maverick with the Hass of Pain! Cody is fighting desperately to shake the hold and El Duque has it locked in with everything he has! There appears to be no exit available!
Deadprez: Or perhaps Cody is seeing a better day arriving after all? Maverick manages to work one arm free and IMMEDIATELY LUNGES FOR THE SIN CITY STUNNER! But El Duque holds the Stunner off, lifts Cody as he rises from behind and TURNS him straight into a Running Powerslam that drives him back into the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Maverick hits the ground but El Duque already has the arm hooked over from behind and pulls Cody back upright before DELIVERING an arm-pulled Lariat that attempts to knock every remaining breath out of the Sin City Superstar! Cody is hanging on for dear life, trying desperately to stay vertical but eventually dropping to one knee under the accumulated punishment!
Deadprez: Duque is still channelling that relentless energy and winds up once more, hitting the ropes and building speed, coming back at Cody as Maverick eventually drags himself back upright! El Duque comes in at full force looking for the complete Lariat, but CODY DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT AND CATCHES HIM ON THE SPIN INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL POWERSLAM AND HOOKS THE LEG THE INSTANT DUQUE HITS THE CANVAS!
Sienna Swann: THERE IT IS! THAT IS THE COUNTER, SWEETIE! GET THE THREE COUNT RIGHT NOW!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Deadprez: Near fall again! Duque gets the shoulder up but Cody immediately grabs a fistful of that mask the instant the kickout happens and drags Duque back to his feet without giving him a single breath of recovery time! Cody pulls him toward the ropes and appears to be setting up for the Deep End, BUT EL DUQUE FLOATS CLEAN OVER CODY’S BACK AND CONVERTS IT INTO A SUNSET FLIP ROLL-UP OF HIS OWN TO SHUT DOWN THE ATTEMPT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: CODY PULLS FREE AND REVERSES EL DUQUE’S OWN ROLL-UP AGAINST HIM, TURNING IT INSIDE OUT AND GOING FOR THE SECOND FALL RIGHT HERE TO END THIS MEXICAN RULES MATCH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: AND YET AGAIN DUQUE KICKS OUT! Maverick gets back to his feet and immediately catches him with a Sitout Jawbreaker the moment Duque chases him, sending him stumbling toward the ropes and looking for a third cover attempt to secure that break! Duque spots Cody clutching his jaw, makes his run from where he fell and goes for the Running Clothesline, but Maverick gets clear and hits the ropes instead–
Deadprez: BICYCLE KICK FROM EL DUQUE ON THE REBOUND! These men are still producing at the highest possible level right now despite everything they have absorbed, both of them fighting with absolutely everything they have left in pursuit of that decisive second fall! Duque presses forward trying to extract something from this momentum!
Sienna Swann: But Cody has no fear of anything that has been thrown at him tonight, sweetie, and POUNDS El Duque in return with a hard Discus Punch that sends the masked man dropping to the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: Duque is at least down to one knee but that gives Maverick enough time to hit the ropes again! Duque slides underneath the incoming attempt and Maverick leaps clean over him! DUQUE POPS BACK UP WITH A DROPKICK THAT CATCHES MAVERICK ON THE WAY DOWN AND CODY GOES SPRAWLING! Maverick stumbles back onto his feet following the dropkick and here comes El Duque seizing him into the Fireman’s Carry position! GOING FOR THE SOUL PUNISHER—
Deadprez: Maverick takes full advantage of the spin and manages to slip free before the move can be completed, landing back on his feet! Duque misses and turns around… LIGHTS OUT PUNCH FROM CODY!
Gavin Kirkland: But Duque avoids it and Maverick stumbles forward onto both knees, gets back up and GETS MET WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT FROM EL DUQUE WHO COMES IN FROM HIS FEET AND ROCKS HIM CLEAN, MAKING HIM STUMBLE BACKWARD INTO THE ROPES WITH EL DUQUE RIGHT BEHIND HIM! Duque grabs him the instant he bounces off the ropes and locks in the position… SOUL PUNISHER FINALLY CONNECTS!
Deadprez: CODY IS DOWN! Duque stumbles toward the top rope and Silas Mason is screaming at him from ringside to make this count right now! Duque steadies himself up there, and Cody is still flat on the canvas with absolutely no way to avoid what is coming–
(## AIR OF MYSTERY!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS LANDS ON THE BACK OF CODY MAVERICK! THE AIR OF MYSTERY FINDS ITS TARGET THIS TIME AND DUQUE IMMEDIATELY FALLS INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE SECOND FALL!… EL DUQUE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND IT HAS ALL COME DOWN TO THIS SINGLE MOMENT! Only one man is walking out of this contest tonight with a decisive victory in hand. Does the result fall back under Silas World’s dominion once again, or does Cody Maverick seize this day for himself and everyone in this building who has been willing him forward all night long?
Sienna Swann: I genuinely need this to go Cody Maverick’s way right now, sweetie. I need it more than I have needed anything at this commentary table in quite some time.
(Maverick can be seen stirring slowly on the canvas while Silas Mason erupts in a massive declaration of support from ringside, urging El Duque to hold on. El Duque is slowly peeling himself off the mat as well.)
Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: FIGHT FOREVER! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
(After a long and agonising moment, Maverick finally registers the full weight of what is at stake, looks back at the situation with dawning clarity, grits his teeth and locks eyes with El Duque who has risen to meet him at the centre of the ring. Both men standing in front of each other once more, battered and empty but refusing to yield, as the arena rises around them.)
Deadprez: This is it. Only one man can walk out of this with the decisive victory and HERE WE GO! THEY ARE COLLIDING! CODY THROWING RIGHT HANDS AND EL DUQUE FIRING BACK! THE ARENA IS COMING APART, WATCHING THESE TWO CRASH INTO EACH OTHER ONE FINAL TIME!
Gavin Kirkland: A BOOT CONNECTS, AND CODY MAVERICK GETS ROCKED BUT FIRES RIGHT BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN, AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE UNLOADING ON EACH OTHER! THE CROWD IS ABSOLUTELY LOSING THEIR MINDS, WILLING CODY TO FIGHT THROUGH AND WIN THIS!
Sienna Swann: KEEP FIGHTING! DO NOT STOP! COME ON CODY!
Deadprez: CODY WITH MORE JABS! JAB AFTER JAB AFTER JAB AND EL DUQUE KEEPS GETTING FORCED BACKWARD TRYING TO RESET AND FIND A COUNTER, BUT CODY IS THROWING BODY SHOTS WITH THE RELENTLESS PRECISION OF PRIME TYSON AND KEEPING DUQUE COMPLETELY OCCUPIED!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DUQUE POWERS THROUGH AND LANDS AN ELBOW THAT STAGGERS MAVERICK FOR A MOMENT! Duque manoeuvres toward the ropes and comes flying back at Maverick but Cody drops down to the side and rolls him over into a BACK SUPLEX THAT DRIVES EL DUQUE HARD INTO THE CANVAS!
Deadprez: Duque peels himself back off the mat and is working to get back to his feet, still on his back, still trying to rise!
(## LIGHTS OUT PUNCH!!!!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: CODY SHUTS HIM DOWN THE MOMENT HE RISES! THE LIGHTS OUT PUNCH CONNECTS FLUSH AND EL DUQUE GOES DOWN! MAVERICK COLLAPSES INTO THE COVER FOR THE WIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! HE IS STILL IN IT! EL DUQUE KICKS OUT AT THE ABSOLUTE LAST INSTANT AND TURNS THIS INTO A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISASTER FOR SILAS MASON AT RINGSIDE!
Deadprez: Maverick still refuses to accept the situation and is already reaching out for El Duque, trying to pull him back to his feet and slowly attempting to lift him for the High Roller! But the body is beginning to send its final notices! The adrenaline that has been carrying Cody through this entire match is reaching its absolute limit!
Sienna Swann: Why does it have to be right now of all moments?!?!?!?
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd is holding its collective breath and the gasp that ripples through this arena says everything about what everyone is witnessing happen to Cody right now! He is almost falling under the weight of his own ambition but the fight in this arena is willing him to dig deeper! Come on Cody, one more push and we are going somewhere extraordinary together!
Crowd: CODY! CODY! CODY! CODY! CODY!
Gavin Kirkland: We are hearing it, the crowd lending every heartbeat of their energy to Cody as he takes the full measure of what this war has cost him! AND HE IS STILL IN IT! THE ADRENALINE TURNS HIM AROUND AND HE HOISTS DUQUE UP… FOR THE HIGH ROLLER!
Deadprez: DUQUE SLIPS OUT AS CODY TUCKS HIM UP AND LANDS BEHIND HIM ON HIS FEET! SITOUT FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER! AND MAVERICK IS DRIVEN FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS WITH DEVASTATING FORCE!
Gavin Kirkland: Cody was trying to fight, but El Duque may simply have too much left for him to handle at this stage! El Duque is able to get the Lariat off with some torque left, with Cody trying to cover but El Duque is already setting up the next move that is going to put an end to this! Silas Mason is animated and he is up on the apron—
(## FLIP THE SWITCH!!!!!!!)
Deadprez: THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS ON CODY! There is no room left for Maverick to breathe and the arena is screaming for Cody to keep fighting! Despite the disaster they are both witnessing, everyone present is refusing to abandon him! El Duque is heading over to haul Maverick back to his feet and this is about to conclude in the worst possible way!
Sienna Swann: OH NO! DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN, SWEETIE! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!
Gavin Kirkland: This is the moment every Silas World opponent eventually arrives at and tonight it is Cody Maverick standing in that exact spot– DUQUE GOT THOSE ARMS AND HE LOOKS FOR THE FINISHING TOUCH!–
(Suddenly the referee surges forward and plants himself directly between El Duque and Maverick.)
Referee: (Off-Mic) HEY! HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE! YOU CANNOT DO THIS!
El Duque: (Off-Mic) MANDE?!
Referee: (Off-Mic) THIS IS NOT PERMITTED IN THIS MATCH, DUQUE! YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED IF YOU USE THAT! I MEAN IT!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! DO YOUR JOB AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: DUQUE HAS NO PATIENCE FOR ANY OF THIS AND SHOVES THE REFEREE CLEAN OUT OF HIS PATH! THE MOVE IS STILL TECHNICALLY BANNED IN THIS MATCH AND HE IS ALREADY MOVING TOWARD CODY WITH IT! THIS MAN HAS LOST ALL SENSE OF REASON!
Deadprez: WAIT! CODY SOMEHOW PULLS FROM AN EMPTY RESERVE AND TURNS THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER SETUP INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING DING DING!)
Deadprez: CODY! CODY MAVERICK HAS DONE IT! HE WINS THE MEXICAN RULES MATCH!
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… CODY MAVERICK!
(‘Kostas’ by Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher plays into an atmosphere of absolute shock as Silas Mason stands at ringside processing what he just witnessed, the disbelief carved into every line of his face. El Duque is in a similar state of stunned paralysis nearby while Cody Maverick lies on the canvas, chest heaving, searching for whatever breath he has left.)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) What happened…. What happened….
Sienna Swann: EVIL DIES TONIGHT, SWEETIE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THERE IS NO TIME FOR CELEBRATION! EL DUQUE IS FURIOUS ABOUT THIS RESULT AND HE IS ALREADY ATTACKING CODY BEFORE THE ARM CAN EVEN BE RAISED! Silas Mason is getting back into the ring to join in and now they are trying to take everything out on Cody, channelling every ounce of the frustration and pain of this loss directly onto him!
Sienna Swann: What a pathetic collection of sore losers who cannot stand to watch a better man rise to his feet at their expense, sweetie. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from all of them!
Deadprez: BUT WAIT! CODY IS FIGHTING BACK! He throws a right hand at Duque and connects with an elbow that creates separation! Cody turns his attention toward Silas Mason and OH!
(Silas Mason, meeting Cody’s burning gaze with something resembling defiance rather than fear, raises his hand and BACKHANDS Cody across the face.)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) You… YOU RUINED THIS! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!
(SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!)
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) YOU BASTARD! You won like a coward hiding behind a roll-up! You are not a REAL man and you never will be—
Gavin Kirkland: AND CODY HAS HEARD MORE THAN ENOUGH! HE SEIZES SILAS MASON BY THE THROAT AND THE LOOK IN HIS EYES SUGGESTS THIS MAN IS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING GENUINELY CATASTROPHIC!
Sienna Swann: DO IT, CODY! DO IT RIGHT NOW, SWEETIE! DO NOT HOLD BACK–
(….)
(‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits and the entire building goes completely and utterly silent. Everyone inside that ring freezes. Even at the commentary table.)
Sienna Swann: …What?
Gavin Kirkland: Is… is this some kind of elaborate trick? Is someone trying to fool this crowd because–
(Donovan Duke, in flesh, appears at the top of the stage.)
Deadprez: No… this is not… this cannot be real. What am I looking at right now?
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS… THAT IS ACTUALLY DONOVAN DUKE! THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS IN A STATE OF COLLECTIVE SHOCK AT WHAT IS STANDING AT THE TOP OF THAT STAGE RIGHT NOW, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT THIS MEANS!
(Donovan Duke makes that long, deliberate walk toward the ring with the composure of someone who has been waiting for precisely this moment. Cody Maverick tries to blink through the chaos and get a clear read on what is happening in front of him, instinctively moving to defend himself.)
(….)
(## FORCE OF WILL!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND MAVERICK GOES DOWN BEFORE HE CAN DO A SINGLE THING ABOUT IT! What… what exactly is happening right now?! They are genuinely two completely different people! So who on earth has been underneath that El Duque mask this entire time?!?!??!?!?!
Deadprez: That is the question that changes everything about what we thought we knew going into tonight…..
Sienna Swann: Sweetie… I do not have a single thing to say right now and that has never happened to me before in my life.
(Donovan Duke walks over Cody’s limping body directly toward El Duque until they are standing toe to toe at the centre of the ring, eyes locked on each other while the entire arena sits in stunned and breathless silence. The stare between them lingers over the Midsummer Massacre canvas as the shot holds on these two figures standing across from one another before the scene fades into the commercial break.)
(The graphic for the next match appears.)
(The camera goes over to show Gina Romano standing by, a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she begins to speak.)
Gina Romano: The following is a TAG TEAM MATCH scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘No One Knows’ by Queens of the Stone Age begins to play up, as the crowd cheers for Halsey Neel as she’s seen sauntering out from the backstage area. She has a smirk on her face as she turns around… being quickly followed with ‘Hard Out Here for a Pimp’ by Three 6 Mafia, causing the crowd to go berserk. There, Damien Kutcher is seen, undeniable swagger oozing from him as he lowers his sunglasses, glancing around before looking over at Halsey with a smirk, the two of them beginning to make their way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… the team of HALSEY NEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER… DAMIEN KUTCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Thank Gawd! The only good part about this match! Go on and bring that fine ass down here, Halsey Neel!
Deadprez: While they have stated they are by no means a conventional tag team, Damien Kutcher and Halsey Neel are 100% out to show that they’re one of the best power couples that Showdown AND EAW has to offer.
Sienna Swann: And while they’re certainly not happy that they have to deal with that on Silas World timing, I appreciate the moxy, sweetie! They have a chance to make a huge statement heading into the new season, but the question is whether or not they’re going to be able to back it up.
(‘BFG Division’ by Mick Gordon is then heard following that, as the crowd begins to erupt into deafening boos for Vincent Mondrian and Ryan Wilson as they’re both seen making their way out to the stage. They stand side-by-side with confident expressions, as Silas Mason is seen following behind them, hyping them up as the three of them make the march down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: And their opponents, accompanied by Silas Mason… the team of RYAN WILSON AND VINCENT MONDRIAN… CATACLYSMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: We know the deal with Silas World’s newest tandem, Vincent Mondrian and Ryan Wilson believe they are more than capable of becoming Unified Tag Team Champions in the future, and Cataclysm was formed for the sole purpose of extending their dominance in the division.
Gavin Kirkland: But they’re up against their first big test this season, and will they be able to conquer it? Well, I think time has shown that they’re more than capable on their own of tackling something on a united front. But we’re going to have to see.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, the answer is right in front of you. All of this comes down to what that ugly bald man at ringside is going to do for them, already giving them a huge advantage in their favor! I guess we’re just going to have to wait and find out.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: The bell has rung, marking the beginning of this tag team match! Ryan Wilson is starting off for Cataclysm while Damien Kutcher is starting for his team. Both of them make their way toward the center of the ring-
(SLAP!)
Sienna Swann: BUT DAMIEN COMES UP AND SLAPS RYAN DIRECTLY IN THE FACE! Ouch, that had to leave a mark, sweetie.
(Damien smirks as he circles Ryan like a shark, yelling at him to do something; Ryan feels the side of his face, almost chuckling at the audacity. Silas Mason is already heard barking orders to the two of them while at ringside.)
Gavin Kirkland: The 24/7 Contract Holder is walking around like he owns the place, but how about he tags out to his more attractive tag team partner-
Deadprez: SEEMS LIKE THAT’S NOT THE CASE! WHILE THE REFEREE WASN’T LOOKING, VINCENT MONDRIAN RUSHED INTO THE RING AND BLINDSIDED DAMIEN FROM BEHIND! And now Cataclysm is using this chance to stomp down on him like a pack of wolves!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sienna Swann: There’s no love lost between these two teams, and Cataclysm is showing that they’re not going to be pulling any punches! The referee quickly comes in and tries to break Vincent away from Damien, looking to restore order in this match!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT’S TOO LATE FOR THAT, AS FINALLY, HALSEY NEEL INTERCEPTS THE RING! SHE RUSHES FORWARD AND NAILS VINCENT WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SEND HIM OUT OF THE RING! Ryan turns around as he tries to help his tag team partner out, BUT IS MET WITH A HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FOR HIS TROUBLES!
Deadprez: Ryan falls against the ropes, and Damien begins to recover alongside Halsey, AS THEY BOTH RUSH FORWARD AND TAKE RYAN OUT OF THE RING WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!
Sienna Swann: And listen to the crowd here tonight in Rio de Janeiro, they know which side they’re on!
Gavin Kirkland: Any side that doesn’t have Silas Mason?
Sienna Swann: Yep!
(The crowd cheers loudly as Damien and Halsey are both yelling at Cataclysm to get into the ring. Ryan and Vincent both recover as they regroup with Silas Mason, quickly talking up a game plan, realizing that the beginning of this match hasn’t gone exactly in their favor so far.)
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Damien has made his way back to his corner as he tags in Halsey Neel, who enters back into the ring. Ryan Wilson has re-entered as well, talking with Vincent for a brief moment before focusing back in, and it seems we’re about to be cordial and start with a lock up-
Sienna Swann: In your dreams, sweetie! Ryan grabs Halsey by the head and drives a knee directly into her abdomen! Halsey is doubled over, and Ryan takes advantage, pushing her against the ropes and sending her toward the opposite side with an Irish whip! AS HE GRABS HER AND LIFTS HER INTO THE AIR, DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A QUICK EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: And in the flip of a coin, Cataclysm is back in this match, and the ever-so sexy Halsey Neel is down! Get up, princess!
Deadprez: Ryan has grabbed a hold of Halsey and brought her back up, as he drags her toward his corner…
(TAG!)
Sienna Swann: Reaching out and tagging in Vincent Mondrian! Be careful, sweetie, you rub against that beard of his, you might get a disease! Ryan drags her toward the center of the ring as Vincent yells to set her up!
Gavin Kirkland: AS THEY’RE GOING FOR CATACLYSMIC ELIMINATION!
Deadprez: BUT HALSEY RUSHES FORWARD AND NAILS RYAN WITH A BOOT DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! Ryan is hurt as he falls against the ropes, Vincent rushing forward and grabbing around the waist, only for Halsey to nail him with a back elbow directly to the face! She turns around and charges at him!
Sienna Swann: BUT RYAN COMES FROM BEHIND AND NAILS HER WITH A CHOP BLOCK DIRECTLY TO THE KNEE! Halsey drops down to a kneeling position as Vincent quickly comes in and snatches her by the hair, Ryan setting himself up! AS VINCENT LIFTS HER AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A URANAGE ONTO THE KNEE OF RYAN WILSON!
Gavin Kirkland: Cataclysm has been working like a unit to the satisfaction of Silas Mason! Meanwhile, Damien is yelling words of encouragement to Halsey, trying to get her to fight back in the early goings and get herself out of this situation. Vincent quickly makes his way over and stops her in her tracks, though, locking in a chin lock while in a seated position!
Deadprez: But it’s way too early in this match to wear your opponent down for long! Halsey is slowly beginning to rise back up to her feet, as she manages to establish a vertical base! And she’s wasting no time beginning to drive repeated elbows into the chest of Vincent, trying to get him to loosen the grip that he has on her!
Sienna Swann: BUT VINCENT RELEASES AND SLAMS AN AXE HANDLE DOWN ONTO HER BACK! Halsey doubles over in pain, struggling to fight back, as Vincent turns around and runs to the ropes and back! AS HE GOES FOR A LARIAT DIRECTLY TO HALSEY NEEL-
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY COUNTERS! SHE GRABS A HOLD OF VINCENT BY THE ARM AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A JUDO THROW, BEFORE TRANSITIONING DIRECTLY INTO AN ARMBAR! This is not the position that The Soul Reaper expected himself in as he screams in agony, trying to force himself out of this!
Deadprez: He’s barely grazing the bottom rope, not able to reach out and grab hold of it as Halsey Neel is doing everything that she can to try and tear his arm right out of its socket! Vincent is continuing to try and struggle!
Sienna Swann: But look at what’s happening! That bald, ugly man Silas Mason just grabbed Vincent’s hand and pulled him toward the bottom rope! The referee catches wind of this and immediately shoots up, but Silas is pleading his innocence, saying that it was a mistake!
Gavin Kirkland: But he immediately shuts up as he sees Damien Kutcher round the corner, confronting him about what he just did!
Silas Mason: (Off-Mic) Let’s not be rash here-
Deadprez: BUT SILAS DUCKS UNDER AS RYAN RUSHES TOWARD DAMIEN, GOING FOR AN APRON PENALTY KICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Sienna Swann: BUT DAMIEN MANAGES TO GRAB THE LEG! Ryan tries to shake himself free, BUT DAMIEN SWIPES HIM AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! Ryan crumbles down to the ground, and Vincent is preoccupied as he’s focused on the action on the outside, turning himself around!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HALSEY GRABS A HOLD OF HIM! UNWINDING HIM AS SHE NAILS HIM WITH A NIGHT AT THE OPERA! RIPCORD QUESTION MARK KICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Deadprez: But Halsey isn’t done! She keeps him up and drags him toward the corner!
(TAG!)
Sienna Swann: BEFORE TAGGING OUT TO DAMIEN KUTCHER! He enters into the ring and quickly grabs a hold of Vincent, LIFTING HIM UP!
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH WATCH YO BACK! THE SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS! HUGE MOVES IN TANDEM BY THE TEAM OF NEEL AND KUTCHER AS THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: BUT JUST IN TIME, RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO SLIDE INTO THE RING AND USE HIS LAST BIT OF ENERGY TO BREAK UP THE PIN! Damien is stunned but quickly retaliates as he drives his knee directly into his abdomen!
Sienna Swann: Cataclysm has their back against the ropes right now, and they know that they need to make something happen fast before it’s too late! Damien grabs a hold of Ryan and snatches him by the wrist, sending him toward the ropes! AS HE GOES FOR ANOTHER WATCH YO BACK-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN MANAGES TO SEE IT COMING! HE REVERSES IT IN THE AIR AND GRABS DAMIEN INTO A TORNADO DDT WHICH SPIKES HIM DOWN DIRECTLY ONTO THE CANVAS! Damien is down on the ground, and Ryan, despite what he’s gone through so far, has managed to adapt to the situation!
Deadprez: This allows Vincent the opportunity to rise back up to his feet, Halsey is trying to intervene, BUT RYAN MANAGES TO SHOOT UP TO HIS FEET AND RUSH FORWARD, CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM STRIKE THAT SENDS HER OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! Ryan makes his way out of the ring and joins her on the outside, leaving just Vincent Mondrian and Damien Kutcher left inside of the ring!
Sienna Swann: Damien stumbles up to his feet, and he better do something quick or else it’s going to cost him big time, sweetie! But I don’t think he sees that Vincent has managed to recover, WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO STRIKE!
Gavin Kirkland: AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR MALEVOLENT SHRINE! CURB STOMP DIRECTLY TO DAMIEN KUTCHER-
Deadprez: BUT DAMIEN MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! Vincent stumbles forward as he turns around, CHARGING AT DAMIEN! BUT DAMIEN MANAGES TO STOP HIM IN HIS TRACKS WITH A BOOT DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! Vincent stumbles backward and tries to shake off the cobwebs, BUT HE’S ONLY MET WITH A SECOND BOOT IN TANDEM BY DAMIEN! Damien then turns around and runs to the ropes and back, trying to intersect Vincent!
Sienna Swann: BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO INTERSECT HIM INSTEAD! RUSHING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BOOT OF HIS OWN DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! Damien turns around due to the sheer impact, and this gives Vincent the chance to grab him from around the waist as he begins to set him up! LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: And now Vincent sees the opportunity here as he shoots up to his feet, quickly staggering over to his corner as he reaches his hand out!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: AND TAGS IN RYAN WILSON! And now both of them are on the move as Vincent quickly makes his way over and grabs Damien, lifting him off of the ground while Ryan runs to the ropes and back!
Sienna Swann: AS THEY CONNECT WITH RIDE THE LIGHTNING! HART ATTACK BY CATACLYSM DROPS DAMIEN KUTCHER DOWN TO THE GROUND! And now Ryan Wilson is quickly scrambling over and hooking the leg! Going for the pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DAMIEN KUTCHER KICKS OUT! My baby Halsey Neel can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that her man is still in this match. But at the same time, Silas Mason looks impressed on the opposite side, knowing that this fight is in reach for Cataclysm.
Deadprez: And it’s just a matter of making sure that you keep the offense in your favor, and continue to apply pressure the most that you can! And that’s what Vincent Mondrian looks to do as he waits patiently for Damien to make his way up to his feet, knowing that they have the advantage by cutting off his tag team partner, and it’s just a matter of making sure that they can keep it!
Sienna Swann: AS VINCENT GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH SOULLESS ECLIPSE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE PUMPHANDLE TOMBSTONE IS UNSUCCESSFUL! Damien manages to slip out and go for a standing switch behind him, AS HE LIFTS HIS LEG UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO TAKE DOWN VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Deadprez: And we know what Damien is looking for here, he turns around and immediately tries to force his way toward his corner to tag out to Halsey Neel!
Sienna Swann: But look! Vincent reaches out and grabs his ankle before he can go any further! Damien is trying his best to shake himself free as Vincent uses this opportunity to rise back up to his feet, keeping a hold of that leg!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT DOESN’T WORK! DAMIEN JUMPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND TAKING A HUGE LEAP!

Gavin Kirkland: But Halsey manages to duck under! She grabs a hold of him from behind, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RIPCORD BACK ELBOW! She then follows that up in transition, AS SHE LIFTS VINCENT MONDRIAN UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Vincent is down on the ground, and Halsey is looking to hone in on finishing the job!
Sienna Swann: But you better pay attention to the other side of the ring, sweetie! Silas Mason just climbed on the apron and distracted the referee, and this allowed Ryan Wilson the chance to slip through the cracks and enter into the ring, AS HE CHARGES AT HALSEY-
Gavin Kirkland: But Halsey manages to slide under it with a Matrix evasion! She quickly turns around as Ryan stumbles forward!
Deadprez: BEFORE CUTTING HIM IN HALF WITH THE SPEAR! REALITY KILLED THE VIDEO STAR TAKES OUT RYAN WILSON AND SENDS HIM BACK OUT OF THE RING! And Halsey Neel is on fire right now! And it’s just a matter of making sure that you use it to the fullest extent!
Sienna Swann: Halsey quickly grabs a hold of Damien and brings him up to his feet! Trying to go for the beginning of the end here! To win this match for her team!
Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE GOES FOR THE WALL! NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB TO VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Deadprez: BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO WIGGLE HIMSELF FREE! He slips out and lands behind Halsey, before grabbing her from around the waist and running her forward, sending her chest first directly into the turnbuckle padding! Vincent then begins to follow through!
Sienna Swann: AS HE ROLLS HER INTO A VICTORY ROLL PIN! TRYING TO STEAL THIS MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF IT! Both of them scramble up to their feet, and immediately they come to blows! Both of them going back and forth as they trade strikes back and forth with one another! They’re teeing off right now!
Deadprez: But Vincent manages to break through as he drives a knee directly into her chest, Halsey staggers back, and this gives Vincent the opportunity as he snatches a hold of her, LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND TRIES TO SLAM HER DOWN WITH A URANAGE!
Sienna Swann: But Halsey is beginning to fight back! She starts to connect with repeated elbows to the side of the head to force him down onto a kneeling position! Vincent is stunned, and this gives Halsey the chance to turn around and run toward the ropes, AS SHE GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AS HE SHOVES HALSEY DIRECTLY INTO THE REFEREE! The official staggers backward, trying to collect himself!
Deadprez: AND VINCENT IS IMMEDIATELY GOUGING THE EYES! HALSEY IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS CATACLYSM COMPLETELY THROWS OUT THE RULEBOOK FOR THIS STRETCH!
Sienna Swann: DAMIEN HAS SEEN ENOUGH AS HE ENTERS INTO THE RING AND RUSHES FORWARD-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN WILSON ENTERS INTO THE RING JUST IN TIME! INTERCEPTING AS HE LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE WILSON CRUSHER!
Deadprez: Ryan collapses down to the ground in exhaustion after the Pop-Up Cutter connected, and Vincent looks momentarily preoccupied before he focuses back in! Looking to make good of the advantage that Ryan gave them!
Sienna Swann: AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF HALSEY AND GOES FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE SOULLESS ECLIPSE!
…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HALSEY FLIPS IT AROUND AND REVERSES IT DIRECTLY INTO A DDT DROPPING VINCENT BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT! AND NOW HALSEY GRABS A HOLD OF VINCENT AND BRINGS HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! KICKOUT!
Deadprez: Cataclysm manages to save things for themselves before it could truly get cataclysmic! Halsey Neel and Damien Kutcher both have looks of shock written on their faces, meanwhile, Ryan can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that this match is still in their hands!
Sienna Swann: But this is no time for reactions, sweetie! This match continues and they’re going to have to focus back in if they want to win this!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Halsey Neel finally manages to get some leeway to tag Damien Kutcher back in, and you can tell that both of them are running through their options right now after what just happened.
Sienna Swann: Their best was not enough, and now they’re going to have to dig into the reserves. Not really the most flattering look, sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: Vincent is finally managing to recover, crawling over and grabbing a hold of the bottom rope, using it to slowly make his way back up to his feet.
Deadprez: But before he can do anything, he’s intercepted with a boot directly to the face by Damien Kutcher! And now he’s beginning to unload on him with repeated shots just raining down on him! Not looking to relent his attack even for a second!
Sienna Swann: And now Damien is grabbing him by the head, dragging him toward the center of the ring, and he’s looking to close out this match!

Sienna Swann: Damien staggers back, trying to hold his ground, BUT VINCENT RUNS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! He finally gets a moment of reprieve, as Cataclysm has the chance to get back into this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Vincent grabs Damien and lifts him up, as he looks to push him into the corner, trying to tag out to Ryan Wilson! But Damien manages to plant his feet to the ground! He stops Vincent in his tracks as he begins to slam repeated axe handles against his spine!
Deadprez: Damien then turns him around back toward the center of the ring, AS HE LIFTS HIM UP AND GOES FOR A SUPLEX ATTEMPT- But Vincent manages to slip out just in the nick of time! He then wraps his arms around his waist, BEFORE HOOKING THEM AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Sienna Swann: Damien is dropped down to the canvas as he slowly begins to rise back up to his feet, but Vincent already has his eyes set on continuing to maintain the momentum! AS HE RUSHES TOWARD HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DAMIEN MANAGES TO CATCH VINCENT, GRABBING HIM AROUND THE WAIST AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH WATCH ‘YO BACK! AND I THINK WE KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING FOR HERE!
Deadprez: HE’S PSYCHING THE CROWD UP! HE’S RUNNING TO THE ROPES! AND HE’S LOOKING FOR THE ATL ELBOW!
Sienna Swann: BUT HE STOPS! RYAN WILSON JUST CLIMBED UP ONTO THE APRON AND BOOTED HALSEY NEEL RIGHT AGAINST THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! HALSEY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT AS SHE CRUMBLES DOWN, RYAN QUICKLY GRABBING A HOLD OF HER!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
Vincent Mondrian: (Off-Mic) FUCK!
DAMIEN KUTCHER KICKS OUT! HE’S STILL IN THIS FIGHT! IT’S NOT OVER JUST YET!
(Vincent lets out a cry of frustration as he runs his hands through his hair. Ryan quickly climbs up onto the apron, trying to talk to Vincent and get him to calm down, convincing how close they are to winning this match.)
Sienna Swann: Vincent has to compose himself, Cataclysm has to stay locked in! He makes his way back up to his feet and toward the corner, looking to get the tag out to Ryan!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: And now Silas World looks to reap the benefits of their teamwork now! With Ryan Wilson quickly entering into the ring and running toward the ropes, looking to capitalize on a recovering Damien Kutcher!

OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S… IT’S…
Deadprez: NOT OVER! VINCENT MONDRIAN BARELY FINDS IT IN HIM TO GRAB THE REFEREE BY THE ANKLE AND YANK HIM OUT OF THE RING!
(Halsey and Damien both look shocked, as Vincent crumbles down to a seated position, beginning to laugh hysterically as he barely manages to save this match for Cataclysm. Silas Mason breathes a sigh of relief, as it looks like he’s nearly about to faint.)
Sienna Swann: Damien and Halsey were so close there! But Cataclysm manages to barely save themselves once more, keeping their ambitions alive just for a little while longer, and you can tell that it’s back to the drawing board.
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey quickly leaves to go to the apron, as Damien recovers back up to his feet and heads over!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Tagging out to Halsey as she enters into the ring! Ryan is trying to recover, but she quickly grabs a hold of him from behind!
Sienna Swann: AS SHE GOES FOR A NIGHT AT THE OPERA! RIPCORD QUESTION MARK KICK-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN DUCKS UNDER! He barely manages to avoid it before connecting with a forearm directly to the face! Ryan is starting to fight back as he grabs a hold of her by the wrist and sends her toward the ropes!
Deadprez: ONLY FOR HALSEY TO RUSH BACK AND NAIL RYAN WITH A THRUST KICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! Ryan is sent tumbling down to the ground as he tries his best to recover in one of the corners, but I don’t think he realizes that Halsey is still on the hunt!
Sienna Swann: AS HALSEY RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A HESITATION DROPKICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE TO TAKE THE WIND OUT OF HIS SAILS!
Gavin Kirkland: What a move by Halsey as she quickly gets back up to her feet!
Deadprez: But before she can do anything else, Vincent has recovered! He has a hold of Halsey by the hair on the apron and is stopping her from doing anything else! Halsey is trying to shake herself free! AS SHE MANAGES TO SWING AROUND AND CRACK VINCENT WITH A BACKFIST!
Sienna Swann: AND LOOK, DAMIEN KUTCHER ROUNDS THE RING AND GRABS A HOLD OF VINCENT BY THE ANKLE, YANKING HIM OFF OF THE APRON! AND NOW THE TWO OF THEM ARE BRAWLING IT OUT AT RINGSIDE! RIGHT NEXT TO OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey watches the scene unfold before turning herself around to confront a recovering Ryan Wilson-
Deadprez: SPOKE TOO SOON! RYAN SNEAKS UP AND GRABS HER AROUND THE WAIST, LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER DOWN WITH A BACKDROP CUTTER! THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIS SITUATION RIGHT NOW!
Sienna Swann: Ryan is beginning to climb to the top rope, but look at what’s happening on the outside! Vincent grabs Damien and looks to send him into the barricade- BUT DAMIEN TURNS IT AROUND AND THROWS VINCENT INTO IT INSTEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Vincent slams shoulder first into the barricade as he tries to compose himself, struggling to rise back up to a vertical base-
(CRASH!)
Deadprez: BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, DAMIEN SPRINTS FORWARD AND SPEARS VINCENT THROUGH THE CORNER BARRICADE TO COMPLETELY WIPE HIM OUT! WHAT A MOVE BY THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER TO COMPLETELY TURN THE TIDES BACK IN HIS TEAMS FAVOR!
Sienna Swann: Ryan is briefly preoccupied by what’s happening on the outside of the ring, but he focuses back in as he glances back toward Halsey-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HALSEY RUNS UP THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, GRABBING RYAN BY THE WAIST AND LIFTING HIM OVER HER HEAD WITH A MASSIVE AVALANCHE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! WHAT A MOVE BY HALSEY NEEL TO TURN THE TABLES!
Deadprez: Halsey begins to get up to a knee as she lunges toward Ryan to finish the job-
But the referee just got in the way! What the hell?!
(The referee stops Halsey as Ryan is seen clutching his right ankle in agony, yelling in pain as something has seemingly gone wrong.)
Sienna Swann: I think that Ryan landed awkwardly on the canvas after that one, sweetie. First he’s ugly, now he’s hurt… not really a good look for him.
Gavin Kirkland: I think the referee is about to call off this match! What just happened???
(Ryan is seen mouthing something to the referee as he continues to nurse his ankle in pain, Silas Mason looks distraught on the outside, running his hands down his face in frustration about what transpired, but there’s really nothing that he can do at the moment.)
(Halsey uses the ropes to pull herself back up, clutching her head in pain as she composes herself. Everything that Silas World has done has given her more than enough reason to head over there now and finish Ryan off while he’s still breathing.)
(But before she can do that…)
(# *CRACK!*)
Deadprez: NO!
Sienna Swann: SILAS MASON JUST CLIMBED UP ONTO THE APRON AND DROVE A SCREWDRIVER AGAINST THE HEAD OF HALSEY! IT’S OVER, SWEETIE!
(Halsey crumbles down to the ground as she clutches her head in pain. Damien screams from the outside of the ring as he tries to rush himself back in-)
(CRASH!)
(Just for Vincent Mondrian to sneak behind him and send him barreling into the steel steps shoulder first. And all of a sudden, just like clockwork…)
(Ryan shoves the referee away, getting right back up as if the injury never happened and immediately crawling over to his nearby corner.)
Gavin Kirkland: HE WAS FAKING IT! THAT BASTARD! THIS WAS ALL APART OF SILAS MASON’S PLAN! CATACLYSM KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!
Deadprez: OH C’MON! NOT LIKE THIS!
(TAG!)
Sienna Swann: TAG TO VINCENT MONDRIAN, AS HE ENTERS INTO THE RING SNATCHING A HOLD OF HALSEY NEEL, AND CATACLYSM ARE GOING TO CLOSE THIS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: AS THEY LIFT HER UP AND DROP HER DOWN WITH ELEVATED DISASTER! ELEVATED DOUBLE FACEBUSTER CONNECTS!
Deadprez: DAMIEN IS TRYING TO SLIDE INTO THE RING, BUT RYAN SNATCHES HIM BY THE HEAD INTO A HEADLOCK AS VINCENT HOOKS THE LEG! THEY’RE GONNA STEAL THIS VICTORY!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘BFG Division’ begins to play through the speakers as the crowd erupts into thunderous boos. Vincent Mondrian slowly pulls himself off of Halsey Neel, a smirk on his face as he begins to revel in what happened. Ryan Wilson lets go of Damien Kutcher and allows him to crumple on the outside in defeat, as he makes his way over to Vincent, helping him up with an equally cocky smirk on his face, as the two of them raise their hands in victory.)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners… CATACLYSMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Sienna Swann: The crowd here tonight is certainly not liking this, and I can’t blame them, sweetie. Cataclysm stole a victory here tonight thanks to Silas Mason, and that is definitely not cute behavior from them. Disgusts me.
(Silas Mason enters into the ring, as if nothing had happened in the closing stretch of the match, continuing to bear a shit-eating grin on his face as he takes both Vincent and Ryan’s hands, raising them in the air in victory.)
Gavin Kirkland: Well, I guess we have to give credit where credit is due. Cataclysm made a promise, and they finished the job here tonight. Congratulations-
(***SLAM!***)
Deadprez: DAMIEN KUTCHER SLIDES INTO THE RING AND SWINGS A STEEL CHAIR THE DIRECTION OF SILAS WORLD!
Sienna Swann: BUT SILAS MANAGES TO SEE IT IN TIME AND SNATCH THEM BY THE WRIST, PULLING BOTH RYAN AND VINCENT OUT OF THE WAY AS THE THREE OF THEM ARE IN RETREAT! THESE ABSOLUTE COWARDS!
(The crowd continues to boo as Ryan and Vincent don’t get their comeuppance, a pissed off Damien Kutcher is yelling at them to get into the ring, clutching the steel chair in hand, but as he realizes that neither of them are budging, he quickly goes over to check on Halsey.)
Gavin Kirkland: It appears that the 24/7 Contract Holder is not happy about what happened whatsoever. Cataclysm cheated their way out of this match, and now that’s something that he’s going to have to live with after the very first Marquee Event of the season.
Deadprez: And you just have to wonder what’s racing through his mind right now. I’m sure he’s not reacting very well to this, but he’s going to have to face it! Safe to say it’ll be very interesting to see the aftermath that transpires from all of this.
(Damien cradles Halsey in his arms, clutching the side of her head as blood slowly drips out. She’s beginning to stir, her eyes fluttering open, and truthfully, that’s all that matters to Damien right now beyond this match. The very last shot seen is Silas Mason in retreat along with Vincent Mondrian and Ryan Wilson backpedaling up the ramp, looking quite satisfied with their work as Midsummer Massacre begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Backstage….)
(The beautiful General Manager of Showdown, Kennedy Street is seen rolling her eyes while Grace De Luca continues to go off on her about the injustices to what went on earlier.)
Grace De Luca: I WAS ROBBED! Everyone knows it, even you! I deserve a shot at the New Breed Championship, ME! I am tired of this, and you know it! So, give me what I want!
Kennedy Street: Kennie is about to slap the taste out of your mouth honey if you do NOT get out of my face with this. You were beaten, and Grace, then you attacked an official THAT is going to COST you. Until then, you better keep your nose clean! Now look, you are talented, and have come out the gate swinging, so this is what Kennie is going to do, you want a shot at a title, you earn it. Just like everyone else, Kennie will tell you more on Showdown, because Territorial Invasion is next, now get the hell out of Kennie’s office.
Grace De Luca: Tell me more!
Kennedy Street: OUT!
Grace De Luca: SO RUDE!
(As she goes to storm out, Grace turns around but Kennedy cuts her off quickly.)
Kennedy Street: NO! Go to catering, there is a lot of red meat, your favorite, we are in Brazil.
Grace De Luca: UGH! I HATE YOU!
(As Grace storms out Kennedy only sighs, ready to watch the rest of Midsummer Massacre when the door opens, she rolls her eyes and turns right to be face to face with Father Vlad, a man she is very familiar with. Circe stands next to him with Diego, she is all smiles.)
Kennedy Street: What are you doing here? You don’t have a contract to wrestle or to even be in the EAW. What you did out there? I could have you arrested, John.
(Father Vlad clears his throat.)
Father Vlad: First of all, Kennedy, we go way back and I don’t go by John anymore. Secondly, this is a family matter, and I can’t allow my baby girl to go at it alone while her big sister is dealing with her own issues that will be rectified next week over on Voltage, now can I? Minerva can take care of her own but even eventually I will be standing right next to her like I do all my children. ALL of my children.
(Kennedy’s eyes narrow, she is not going to deal with any of this and instead cuts him off because he can speak.)
Kennedy Street: I already have Silas Mason to worry about and while you are not the worm that he is, Father Vlad, the fact is, you do not belong here.
Father Vlad: Actually, I do, because in that contract my little daughter signed, it stated that all and I mean ALL members of the Vladislav family can now come to the EAW to hone their craft. In other words, you are not going to be seeing the end of us. Just remember one thing, Kennedy…. And you know this very well.
(Father Vlad leans in and whispers in her ear.)
Kennedy Street: Do not screw Circe over…. Because not only am I now here, but HE is watching. And we both know who HE is.
(There is an almost terrified and yet confused look to Kennedy as she then turns to Diego and Circe who are both smiling ear to ear.)
Circe: Big brother is watching….
(She starts to giggle before turning and walking out with her father. Diego winks and follows as Kennedy lets out a deep sigh and lowers her head.)
**KNOCK KNOCK**
Kennedy Street: For fucks sake….
(Mia Santoro walks in, still in her wrestling gear and sweaty, placing her hands on her hips as Kennedy then shrugs her shoulders.)
Kennedy Street: What now!? What do you want!? Let me guess another title match, right? EARN IT MIA!
(Mia just smirks, and continues to stare at Kennedy.)
Kennedy Street: What!?
Mia Santoro: I want to be a major part of Showdown. I am DONE playing games on Dynasty and Voltage. You drafted ME for a reason, and Clayton Golde screwed that up for me tonight. Unlike these other bitches, I am not asking for a shot, I’m demanding a SPOT.
Kennedy Street: A SPOT to what, honey?
Mia Santoro: You know damn well to what. I don’t care who I have to go through in order to do so, but I promise you that I will. This is MY season now. And that National Elite Championship will be mine.
Kennedy Street: Kennie likes the fire, you keep that energy going. Like I told Grace, you will get your chance. Now please, leave me.
(Mia just smirks and turns to leave but runs right into someone she didn’t expect and had a run in on the last Showdown, Pandora Paisley.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie needs to start locking that door.
Pandora Paisley: I will get to you in a second love. Just seemed to overhear that you want that spot, funny love because so do I and there is nothing which will stop me from getting it especially after tonight. Funny thing is though, I like you, Mia.
Mia Santoro: You aren’t so bad yourself.
Pandora Paisley: Tell you what, why don’t we go get some drinks after Midsummer Massacre tonight, celebrate my victory and your draft to Showdown, and then maybe we can talk about those SPOTS we want, what do you say love?
(Mia just smirks and nods.)
Mia Santoro: See you after the show.
(As Mia walks out, Pandora Paisley’s eyes glare at Kennedy Street.)
Kennedy Street: We both know why you are here.
Pandora Paisley: That’s right…. So, take out that Silas World contract and let me look at that bloody thing, because after what they did out there to Damien and Halsey just a few minutes ago is bollocks!
Kennedy Street: Sure, honey but you might want to do so after your match. Good luck out there.
(Pandora just chuckles before shaking her head and walking out, Kennedy then opens the drawer and has the contract in hand….. before she then rips it up. As the camera fades back to Gina Romano at ringside.)
(The graphics for the next match appear as the crowd cheers.)
(The camera returns to ringside after showing the match graphic, and Gina Romano is seen holding a microphone in her hand, prepared to announce the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: And the winner will become the number one contender to the Answers World Championship!!!
(‘Section’ by The Roots begins to play, bringing about a somewhat mixed, but still highly positive reaction as Impact begins walking out to the stage. Impact remains confident as always, but it is clear that the Hall of Famer is focused tonight, knowing that this match is his path towards an eleventh World Championship. He’s willing to high five a few of the fans in the front row, but as he heads down the ramp, his eyes are focused only on the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first!… From Seattle, Washington… Weighing in at 228 pounds… EAW HALL OF FAMER, IIIIIMMMMMMMPPPPAAAACCCCCCTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Impact is on his way to the ring for the match that could lead to his eleventh World title! We heard what Impact has said this week and he’s never been one to doubt himself, but you have to wonder if that has changed with another legend and veteran like Rex McAllister as his opponent.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t see why it would! Rex and Impact have history, but Impact has been facing the best of the best for his entire career. Love him or hate him, I can’t deny he has everything it takes to be the next Answers World Championship challenger.
Sienna Swann: Well said sweetie, which is actually surprising. Impact may be old, but he knows what he’s doing. There’s a reason he’s already been World Champion ten times.
(Impact enters the ring, and he places his fist onto the top turnbuckle, just showing a motivated expression as he nods his head, waiting for his opponent.)
(‘Power’ by The Score begins to play following this, causing another loud reaction to emerge from the crowd as the fans in attendance cheer. The camera pan back towards the stage, where Rex McAllister is seen beginning to walk out. Rex stares at Impact for a moment, but he has a calm, focused look on his face. He acknowledges the crowd, nodding to the cheering fans before he begins walking down the ramp, ready for his chance to take the next step towards his first World Championship in years.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent!… From Sea Isle, New Jersey… Weighing in at 238 pounds… EAW HALL OF FAMER, REEEEEEEEEXXXXXXX MCCAALLLLLLLLIIISSSTTTEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: And now here is Rex McAllister, and in 2026 I have to say, it is an amazing sight seeing this man on a Showdown event. The man is focused, and much like Impact, he undoubtedly has the tools to qualify for an Answers World Championship match.
Gavin Kirkland: As much as I wish his wife joined him on Showdown… Rex is a Hall of Famer for a reason. He’s been in the game for a long time and his resume speaks for itself.
Sienna Swann: It does, which is why either man may be capable of walking away with the win, and possibly even the Answers World Championship.
(Rex McAllister stands in his corner, across the ring from Impact. There’s a staredown between the two men, who just nod to each other, both understanding the stakes as the referee calls for the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: Here we go! This match between legends is underway, and the winner gets a shot at the Answers World Championship! Depending on what the future holds, this match here could determine a future World Champion for Showdown!
Gavin Kirkland: It sure can! Rex McAllister and Impact slowly walk towards the center of the ring, and they quickly lock up! We know how skilled both of these men are- BUT REX TAKES THE EDGE EARLY AS HE GETS THE WRISTLOCK!
Sienna Swann: A wristlock won’t win you the match though, sweetie! Impact twists himself out of it before sweeping Rex’s leg while holding onto Rex’s arm, and he pushes the shoulders down!
OOOONNNEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: REX IS OUT- BUT IMPACT IS QUICK TO APPLY THE HEADLOCK! Impact wisely keeps Rex grounded onto a knee, but Rex isn’t having it! He manages to power himself to both feet before lifting Impact- AND HE WAS ATTEMPTING A BACK SUPLEX, BUT IMPACT PULLS HIMSELF DOWN BEFORE GROUNDING REX WITH A HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT JUST GAVE REX AN OPENING THOUGH, AND A HEADSCISSORS FORCES IMPACT OFF OF HIM!
Sienna Swann: Impact twists onto his feet before pushing himself out of the hold while Rex gets up, AND IMPACT IRISH WHIPS REX INTO THE ROPES! Impact drops down to try and trip Rex as Rex rebounds off the ropes, but Rex is able to jump over before bouncing off the opposite set of ropes!
Deadprez: Impact swings at Rex off the rebound- BUT REX DUCKS UNDER IT, AND IMPACT TURNS RIGHT INTO AN ENZUIGIRI! That enzuigiri rocked Impact and sent him stumbling into the ropes, AND THAT ALLOWS REX TO RUN IN AND CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! Rex McAllister is able to take the upper hand early on, and in a match between two people who’ve been in the game as long as these two, any advantage means everything!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex McAllister runs the ropes, AND HE WENT FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK, BUT IMPACT HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! Rex slides out of the ring, AND IMPACT SCOOPS HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A SCOOP SLAM! Rex is hurting after getting planted onto the floor, and now Impact grabs him before sending him right back into the ring! Rex stumbles back up and involuntarily backpedals into the ropes as Impact slides into the ring, AND IMPACT IS ABLE TO CATCH REX WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER!!
Sienna Swann: Strong combination by Impact, and he follows it up with a cover!
OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Sienna Swann: But it’s not over yet, sweetie! Far from it! Rex was able to kick out just before two, but Impact stays right on him! He drags Rex up into a double underhook, AND NOW HE DELIVERS A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BACKBREAKER! Impact is really focusing on the back of Rex, and I can’t say it’s not smart! The Walls of Impact is a go-to move of his, and I’m sure all the years in the industry are catching up to Rex every time he’s dropped onto his spine!
Deadprez: Rex rolls towards the ropes after that one, AND IMPACT GRABS HIM BY THE LEGS, SEEMINGLY TRYING TO PULL HIM IN FOR THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED WALLS OF IMPACT, BUT REX HAS ALREADY GRABBED ONTO THE ROPES! Impact only has until five to hold onto Rex and make a move- BUT REX DOESN’T GIVE HIM THE CHOICE, FREEING ONE OF HIS LEGS BEFORE KICKING IMPACT IN THE MIDSECTION! Impact stumbles away, and Rex uses the ropes to start pulling himself up!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact charges back in towards Rex, AND REX IS QUICK TO ACT, PULLING THE TOP ROPE DOWN AND SENDING IMPACT OVER!
Sienna Swann: Impact is a vet though, so this doesn’t take him out! He lands on the apron instead, and as Rex pulls himself up and attacks- Impact is able to block his strike before rocking him with a headbutt! Rex looks dazed at the moment, but Impact holds onto him before running to the corner, slamming Rex’s face into the top turnbuckle! Rex stumbles back, giving Impact enough time to start climbing up to the top rope!
Deadprez: Impact is up top, AND NOW HE FLIES AT REX WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT REX MEETS HIM IN MID-AIR WITH A DROPKICK!!!!
Sienna Swann: IMPACT GOES DOWN, AND SWEETIE, I THINK REX JUST TURNED THIS ONE AROUND!
Deadprez: Impact pulls himself up in the corner as Rex pushes himself up, AND REX RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A CLOTHESLINE TO THE TRAPPED IMPACT! Rex pulls Impact out of the corner after this, running out and planting him with a BULLDOG!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact involuntarily pops up after bouncing off the mat, AND REX IS ABLE TO GRAB HIM BEFORE LIFTING HIM FOR A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX, WHICH HE LANDS!!! IT CONNECTS, AND REX HOLDS IMPACT IN PLACE FOR THE PIN!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THIS TIME IT’S IMPACT THAT’S ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!
Sienna Swann: Impact rolls out to the apron, and Rex just maintains his focus, not looking defeated just yet as he knows we’re still in the early stages. Rex sees that Impact is back on the apron, and I think he’s going to have to play things differently this time after getting caught with that headbutt.
Deadprez: I think Rex agrees, as HE MAY BE LOOKING FOR THAT SUICIDE SPEAR!!! REX RUNS THE ROPES, BEFORE CHARGING IN FULL STEAM AHEAD-
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!!!
Sienna Swann: OH NO! Rex tried to stop himself as soon as he saw Impact jumping onto the top rope, but it was too late!
Deadprez: That’s right! Rex was in range and thanks to that Impact was able to land that vintage springboard dropkick! These two are really pushing each other at the moment, and it doesn’t even feel like we’ve been going for too long! Just goes to show how much these two really have in their arsenals after years in the game!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact rolls over onto his side, while Rex rolls over to the ropes and grabs onto them! Both of them are finding their way back up- BUT IMPACT IS ABLE TO GET UP FIRST!
Sienna Swann: Impact lands a knife edge chop on Rex, dropping Rex to the mat! Rex rushes back to his feet- BUT HE’S TAKEN BACK DOWN WITH A SECOND ONE! Impact is building momentum as Rex stumbles back to his feet once again, and Impact catches Rex before getting him with an Irish whip into the ropes!
Deadprez: Rex bounces off the ropes, AND IMPACT SCOOPS HIM UP!
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE GOING FOR THE ABSOLUTION!!
Sienna Swann: BUT HE DOESN’T GET IT!
Deadprez: IMPACT LIFTED REX UP FOR THE ABSOLUTION, BUT REX WAS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND IMPACT! There’s that experience coming into play once more as Rex was able to fight his way out of one of Impact’s go-to moves, BEFORE REX APPLIES THE WAISTLOCK, AND DELIVERS A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT WAS JUST DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, AND REX DOESN’T EVEN LET GO! Rex pulls himself to a knee and gets back to his feet while holding onto him…
Sienna Swann: HE IS ABLE TO LAND A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX!! It looks like Rex might be looking for the trifecta, because he still has yet to let go! He fights his way back to his feet once more!
Deadprez: BUT IMPACT IS ABLE TO START THROWING ELBOWS BACKWARDS, LANDING SHOTS TO THE JAW! Rex isn’t able to hold onto Impact! He tried, but those elbows are just too much! He lets go, AND IMPACT TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SLIP BEHIND REX!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FOR THE HAIL MARY-
Sienna Swann: BUT REX DROPS ONTO HIS BACK BEFORE LIFTING HIS LEGS TO IMPACT’S ARMS, PULLING HIM DOWN INTO A VICTORY ROLL PIN!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTHHHHR-
Deadprez: IMPACT IS ABLE TO KICK OUT, BUT JUDGING BY HOW LATE HE KICKED OUT I THINK THAT PIN CAUGHT HIM BY SURPRISE! Both men race to their feet, but Rex is up first and he uses this fact as his chance to scoop Impact up! Rex has Impact in his arms, AND HE LIFTS IMPACT FOR THE FALLAWAY SLAM!!
Gavin Kirkland: ONLY FOR IT TO GET COUNTERED, AS THIS TIME IT’S IMPACT THAT’S ABLE TO GET THE SUDDEN PINFALL, HOOKING REX’S ARMS TO PULL HIM DOWN WITH A CRUCIFIX PIN!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Sienna Swann: REX IS ABLE TO KICK OUT THIS TIME-
Deadprez: BUT AS SOON AS BOTH MEN RUSH BACK UP, IMPACT IS ABLE TO DROP REX WITH THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK!!! Impact gets back to his feet, and it seems he was able to get the better of that whole exchange! Rex rolls into the corner of the ring, and Impact just allows him to pull himself up!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact walks over, and he starts delivering shoulder thrusts to Rex’s midsection, going back to that target! He delivers a few more as the referee comes over to start counting- BEFORE PULLING REX OUT OF THE CORNER, DELIVERING A CLUBBING BLOW TO HIS BACK! Rex drops to a knee, AND NOW A STOMP TO THE BACK DROPS REX TO THE MAT!
Sienna Swann: Rex is down and out in the middle of the ring and Impact sees this, SO HE TAKES OFF TO THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR FLIGHT SIGHTS!!
Deadprez: REX IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact crashes onto the mat, and Rex is quick to push himself up before bouncing himself off of the ropes! HE LANDS A JUMPING KNEE AS SOON AS IMPACT GETS BACK UP, CAUSING IMPACT TO STUMBLE AS REX TURNS AND GRABS HIM, LIFTING HIM UP AND PLANTING HIM WITH AN OLYMPIC SLAM!!! Rex sits up as Impact rolls out to the apron again, and Rex holds his midsection in pain for a moment before forcing himself back up!
Sienna Swann: Rex is finding his way back into this, and Impact’s attacks towards the midsection and the back may be starting to affect him, but when dealing with an opponent like Impact, he has to just will through it and give everything he has!
Deadprez: Impact pulls himself up, AND REX RUNS THE ROPES AT THE SAME TIME, NOT EVEN GIVING IMPACT THE CHANCE TO REALIZE WHAT’S ABOUT TO HIT HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: SPEAR THROUGH THE ROPES!!!! REX MCALLISTER JUST SPEARED IMPACT OFF OF THE APRON, CAUSING BOTH MEN TO TAKE A NASTY SPILL ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! What a move by Rex McAllister, sacrificing himself to take out Impact!
Sienna Swann: It sure was a sacrifice sweetie, because any damage Impact did to Rex has to be feeling much worse now after hitting the ringside floor that hard! Rex and Impact are both laid out on the mat, and they’re going to want to make a move before they mess up their chance at an Answers World Championship match!
Deadprez: Rex McAllister is able to grab onto the apron to slowly pull himself up, and you can definitely see how that fall took its toll. Rex immediately grabs into his back as soon as he starts to move, but he just shakes his head and moves on. He slowly limps over to Impact, and he drags him up before-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! IMPACT RUNS FORWARD WHILE REX HOLDS ONTO HIM, AND IMPACT JUST TACKLED REX BACK FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
Sienna Swann: Desperate move by Impact, but it got the job done! Impact grabbed onto the ringpost to keep himself on a knee, and now he just pulls himself into the ring, taking advantage of the time he’s been given to recover! Impact is clearly using this time to get his bearings after the spear through the ropes, but if Rex can’t get back in the ring before ten, this is a victory and World Championship match for Impact!
Deadprez: Rex McAllister is able to grab onto the apron, but he’s hurting pretty badly after his back was sent into the steps! Impact has been very particular about his target, and when you have an injured back it’s not going to be easy doing much of anything.
Gavin Kirkland: Rex isn’t going down just yet though, AS HE IS ABLE TO FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN IN HIS BACK, AND PULL HIMSELF INTO THE RING!
Sienna Swann: Rex starts pushing himself back up to all fours-
Deadprez: BUT IN DOING SO HE ALLOWS IMPACT TO PULL HIM IN, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A POWERBOMB!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact usually does a double, but with the size difference between these two even doing the one at this stage caused Impact to fall back and lean against the middle rope! He did the damage though, as that was another wisely targeted shot to Rex McAllister RIGHT when he was showing signs of life! Impact is out for blood, but I guess that might be what’s needed when someone like Rex is your opponent!
Sienna Swann: Impact sees that Rex is still down and out, SO HE RUNS THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF WITH FLIGHT SIGHTS!!! REX DOESN’T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO ROLL AWAY, SO IT CONNECTS THIS TIME!!! IMPACT HOOKS THE LEGS, AND SWEETIE, THIS IS LOOKING BAD FOR MCALLISTER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: BUT REX IS ABLE TO STAY IN IT, SOMEHOW GETTING THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE!! Impact has definitely had the advantage throughout this match targeting the back, but Rex has been hanging in there, and that fact is exactly why this has been such a tough match for Impact even with his gameplan!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact shakes his head seeing Rex kicked out, and I think he’s thinking about his next move right now.
Sienna Swann: Impact knows Rex has had a lot of his usual offense scouted, so I think he’s aiming to keep softening him up first! He’s dragging Rex up and powering him into the corner, and now he lifts him up onto the top rope! We usually know where this type of move leads, and it definitely isn’t good for Rex in the state he’s in!
Deadprez: Rex is lifeless up there, and Impact climbs up onto the middle rope before just landing another clubbing blow to Rex’s back! Rex is in bad shape, and Impact hooks him in!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT LIFTS REX UP FOR A SUPERPLEX!!!!
Sienna Swann: BUT LOOK SWEETIE!!! REX IS WIGGLING HIS WAY FREE, AND HE WAS ABLE TO SLIP DOWN BEHIND IMPACT IN THE RING!!! REX CATCHES IMPACT WITH A SHOT TO THE BACK, AND HE MAY HAVE JUST FOUND AN OPENING TO TURN THE TABLES!
Deadprez: Rex lifts Impact into quite the spot, as he is left laid out on the top turnbuckle along the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex takes a moment to recover from the offense he’s taken, before climbing up to the middle rope AND DROPPING AN ELBOW DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF IMPACT’S HEAD!! THAT HAD TO HAVE ROCKED IMPACT, AND NOW REX LOWERS HIS HEAD, PULLING IMPACT ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!!
Sienna Swann: REX LIFTS IMPACT UP, BEFORE FALLING BACKWARDS AND DROPPING HIM WITH AN AVALANCHE OLYMPIC SLAM!!!!!!!
Deadprez: REX MCALLISTER HAS TO BE RUNNING ON EMPTY AFTER THAT ONE, BUT LUCKILY FOR HIM, IMPACT ISN’T MOVING!! REX PULLS HIMSELF BACKWARDS, GETTING ON TOP OF IMPACT FOR THE COVER AS HE HOOKS THE LEGS!!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH, AS IMPACT KICKS OUT!!!! Rex McAllister slowly sits up and shakes his head. I think Rex had to have known that this was never going to be easy, but to his credit, that was a seriously big move! The fact that Impact was able to survive that is honestly pretty amazing, but I suppose this is exactly why these two are legends and known as some of EAW’s best. Rex is forced to turn around, and start pushing himself back to his feet while thinking of a new plan to put this one away!
Sienna Swann: Rex McAllister watches as Impact turns, and uses the ropes to start pulling himself back up. I think Rex might’ve come up with an idea!
Deadprez: He sure has, AS HE RIPS IMPACT AWAY FROM THE ROPES WITH A SLEEPER HOLD!!!! THE SLEEPER HOLD IS LOCKED IN, AND IMPACT MAY BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE! THE LAST THING HE NEEDS RIGHT NOW IS TO BE TRAPPED IN A SUBMISSION LIKE THIS!!
Gavin Kirkland: REX IS THE SLIGHTLY TALLER ELITIST, SO HE’S ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE STANDING VARIATION OF THE SUBMISSION, ESPECIALLY WHILE IMPACT IS STILL SUFFERING THE EFFECTS OF THE AVALANCHE OLYMPIC SLAM!! I have to say that was smart of Rex, as he’s not in the best condition himself and can use this time to recover!
SIenna Swann: Impact is trying to reach forward towards the ropes, but he’s not going to be capable of surviving in the submission forever!
Deadprez: Impact is definitely running out of options. He is already barely conscious after the Olympic slam, there’s no way he can do this forever!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact is running out of options! He’s not able to reach the ropes in front of him, and thanks to that he… He…!
Sienna Swann: HE BACKPEDALS, GOING TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES!
Deadprez: REX TURNS AROUND BEFORE HE COULD GO INTO THE ROPES, BUT IMPACT USED THIS TO HIS ADVANTAGE! Impact gets his foot onto the middle rope, AND HE PUSHES OFF, MAKING REX FALL AS HE ROLLS OVER HIM FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: REX KICKS OUT-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT IMMEDIATELY GETS TO HIS FEET AND PULLS REX UP, BEFORE PULLING HIM TO HIS FEET AND INTO THE COBRA CLUTCH!!! MILLENNIAL INCARCERATION!!!!
Sienna Swann: NO!!! IT WAS CLOSE, BUT REX INSTINCTIVELY DROPPED DOWN TO HIS KNEES AFTER BEING PULLED UP, ALLOWING HIM TO DELIVER A MODIFIED SNAPMARE TO GET IMPACT OFF OF HIM!
Deadprez: Both men rush back to their feet-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER REX’S SWING, BEFORE DELIVERING A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! At this point that might be all he can even throw at Rex, but it wasn’t a bad shot at all! In fact, it definitely did some serious damage as you can see Rex wince in pain!
Sienna Swann: Yeah, but Rex is able to stand back up, BEFORE HITTING IMPACT WITH A CHOP OF HIS OWN! Impact holds his chest in pain, but it doesn’t look like he’s ready to back down just yet!
Deadprez: Impact turns back, AND HE HITS REX WITH A SECOND KNIFE EDGE CHOP! That one makes Rex stumble back, BUT NOW REX CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM TO FIGHT BACK! IMPACT NOW WITH A FOREARM! REX WITH A FOREARM- AND IMPACT LANDS ANOTHER CHOP! REX GOES FOR ANOTHER FOREARM- BUT IMPACT DUCKS UNDER THAT AND GRABS REX- BEFORE CATCHING IMPACT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Impact backpedals into the ropes and bounces off-
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE LANDS A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF MCALLISTER’S HEAD, TURNING REX AROUND!! Rex is a bit dazed, and Impact slowly walks towards him to capitalize- BUT REX IS ABLE TO JUMP BACK, LANDING A PELE KICK THAT SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT IMPACT BY SURPRISE! IMPACT DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, HOLDING HIS HEAD IN PAIN! These two are really going back and forth right now. All of that experience was being put to use at first, but now this is starting to just become a slugfest as they’re starting to lose their ability to actively find counters!
Sienna Swann: Rex McAllister turns and pushes himself up while Impact starts coming to his senses- and he quickly hits Impact with a right hand, keeping him down! Rex takes the chance to push himself up, and he pulls Impact in! I think I know what he’s trying to set up for, but it seems he’s struggling a bit because of all that back damage!
Deadprez: REX IS ABLE TO GRIT THROUGH IT ANYWAY THOUGH! LIFTING IMPACT UP FOR A POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT DROPS AN ELBOW DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF REX’S HEAD THOUGH, AND A SECOND ONE FORCES REX TO LET GO OF IMPACT! IMPACT LANDS ON HIS FEET, STUMBLING BACKWARDS AND REBOUNDING OFF OF THE ROPES!!
Sienna Swann: EVISCERATION!!!!!
Deadprez: IT CONNECTS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WAS OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!! IMPACT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT HE REBOUNDED OFF THE ROPES, USING THE MOMENTUM TO CHARGE IN AND CONNECT WITH EVISCERATION!!! REX MCALLISTER IS OUT!!!
Sienna Swann: HE SURE IS SWEETIE, AND NOW IMPACT CRAWLS OVER HIM FOR THE COVER, TO BECOME NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: BUT REX MCALLISTER KICKS OUT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO WAY!!! REX WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! HE SURVIVED EVISCERATION!!!!!
Sienna Swann: Impact sits up, and I don’t think he can believe what he just saw! Rex McAllister just survived one of his biggest moves, and one of the exact moves that helped him make it to so many World Championships!
Deadprez: Well Impact is planning to make it to another one soon enough, and with Rex still down and out, I can’t say he doesn’t have the chance! Impact gets on top of Rex, AND HE STARTS TO JUST DRIVE PUNCHES DOWN INTO HIS FOREHEAD! Impact is starting to get more vicious tonight, knowing that this is what it takes in order to keep Rex down!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact gets up, AND HE LANDS A STOMP ONTO REX’S MIDSECTION! Impact drags Rex up as soon as he sits up, AND HE SLAMS HIS FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Rex drops down and falls onto the middle rope, AND IMPACT LANDS ANOTHER STOMP, THIS TIME TO HIS BACK!
Sienna Swann: Rex falls into the mat, and Impact just grabs Rex by the legs, pulling him towards the middle of the ring!
Deadprez: ***FOR THE WALLS OF IMPACT!!!!***
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!! REX WAS ABLE TO COME TO LIFE JUST BEFORE IMPACT COULD PULL HIM INTO THE SUBMISSION, AND REX GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR BEFORE DRAGGING HIM INTO THE INSIDE CRADLE!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Sienna Swann: IMPACT KICKS OUT-
Deadprez: BUT REX USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN IMPACT AROUND, FLOATING OVER AND GRABBING THE LEG BEFORE TRAPPING HIM IN THE ***REX LOCK!!!!!!!***
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT IS TRAPPED IN THE REX LOCK, AND I DON’T THINK HE EXPECTED THAT TURN OF EVENTS! WE KNOW HOW TECHNICALLY SKILLED REX IS, AND MOMENTS LIKE THIS ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAS MADE HIM A HALL OF FAME ELITIST! IMPACT’S IN TROUBLE!! IS HE GOING TO BE FORCED TO TAP!?
Sienna Swann: Impact is trying to pull himself towards the ropes, but sweetie, Rex is a 6’4, 238 pound man! Given his own condition, he’s pretty much dead weight on Impact’s back!
Deadprez: Impact doesn’t have many options here! Rex has that submission in tight, and we’re pretty late into this one! I don’t know if it’s as easy as breaking out of a hold like this! If he doesn’t make it towards those ropes, again, tapping out might not even be his concern! It might be *passing* out!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact is slowly trying to drag himself towards the ropes, but REX PULLS BACK FURTHER ON THE SUBMISSION!! IMPACT IS TRYING TO REACH OUT!! HE’S CLOSE, BUT HE MIGHT NOT BE CLOSE ENOUGH!!!!
Sienna Swann: IMPACT DRAGS HIMSELF A BIT CLOSER, BUT HE’S LOSING HIS WILL TO FIGHT!! HE RAISES HIS HAND, BUT I DON’T KNOW IF HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO EVEN GRAB THE ROPE!! HE MIGHT HAVE TO TAP OUT!!
Deadprez: IMPACT HAS HIS HAND UP, AND HE’S HESITATING! I DON’T THINK HE CAN TAKE BEING IN THIS SUBMISSION ANY LONGER!!
(…..)
(…….)
(…..….)
(………..)
(……………..)
(………………….)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE’S ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE, FORCING THE ROPE BREAK!!!!
Sienna Swann: Rex lets go of the submission as he pushes himself up, BUT I DON’T THINK HE’S LETTING UP JUST YET!
Deadprez: REX PULLS IMPACT FROM THE ROPES AS SOON AS HE STARTED GETTING BACK UP, AND NOW REX LANDS ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! Rex maintains the hold on Impact, seemingly trying to complete the trifecta he wasn’t able to earlier!
Gavin Kirkland: The problem is, Rex has taken far more damage now than earlier in the match! He is finding his way back to his feet with Impact in his arms, but he’s moving noticeably slower than the last time he tried this!
Sienna Swann: That’s true, BUT HE IS ABLE TO LIFT IMPACT ANYWAY, CONNECTING WITH A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Deadprez: REX NEARLY LET GO OF IMPACT ON THAT ONE, BUT HE HOLDS ON!! REX TURNS OVER TO A KNEE, AND ONCE AGAIN HE IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY FINDING HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex drags Impact back to his feet one last time, going for the third German suplex!
Sienna Swann: BUT HE TOOK SO LONG IMPACT WAS ABLE TO FIND THE WHEREWITHAL TO BACKPEDAL, SENDING REX BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!
Deadprez: Rex lets go of Impact, crumbling down onto the mat as he hangs onto the middle rope just to stay on his knees and avoid collapsing entirely! Impact drops to a knee, but that was a good way to get himself out of that situation, taking advantage of the same weakness that made that German suplex trifecta such a struggle to pull off! Rex slowly drops to the mat, rolling out to the apron!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex McAllister starts dragging himself up on the apron, but Impact is able to get back up in time to turn towards Rex!
Sienna Swann: Impact runs in and jumps onto the set of ropes to Rex’s left, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A TRIANGLE DROPKICK, KNOCKING REX OFF OF THE APRON!!!!!
Deadprez: Rex hits the mat, and that was a nasty fall, especially given the damage he has already taken to his back! Rex is down and out, and Impact is slowly able to just sit up in the ring, watching as Rex writhes in pain. McAllister isn’t in good condition right now, and if this keeps up I’m not so sure he’ll be in any condition to take this victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact rolls out of the ring, and he drags Rex up, BEFORE THROWING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! Rex is sent back first into the barricade, and Impact is starting to become more and more vicious!
Sienna Swann: Impact drags Rex up, AND HE LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE DELIVERING A GOURDBUSTER ONTO THE BARRICADE!!! REX FALLS OFF OF THE BARRICADE AFTER THAT, BUT IMPACT HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE MAN AND WE MAY BE NEARING THE END OF THIS ONE!!
Deadprez: Impact drags Rex over towards our table, and it seems he has something big in mind right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, I think I know exactly what it is, too! Impact is struggling because of all the damage he’s taken, but he’s trying to lift Rex for a powerbomb onto our table!
Sienna Swann: Rex is doing his best to keep his weight down though sweetie, and- OH!!!
Deadprez: THERE’S REX MCALLISTER WITH A BACK BODY DROP, TOSSING IMPACT RIGHT ONTO OUR TABLE!!!! The table didn’t even break! Impact just landed right onto it and cracked the table lid, and that was huge for Rex! He desperately needed that moment, but how is he going to capitalize!?
Gavin Kirkland: I think I can see how! He’s using the table to pull himself up, and it looks like he’s about to take advantage of the fact that it didn’t break!
Sienna Swann: Rex turns Impact onto his stomach before pulling into a front facelock, AND NOW THERE’S A DDT OFF OF THE TABLE, DROPPING IMPACT HEAD FIRST ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, AND REX JUST STARTS SLOWLY DRAGGING HIMSELF CLOSER TOWARDS THE RING!
Deadprez: Rex is playing this smart. He’s hurting and fatigued, but it looks like he’s thinking about that count!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex drags onto the apron and rolls into the ring, before rolling right back out to restart the count! Rex knew he wasn’t going to get back in the ring in time while carrying Impact, so he restarted the count beforehand! Rex also was able to roll back onto his feet, and now he slowly stumbles over towards Impact, dragging him into a front facelock before slowly pulling him back towards the ring! He’s able to slowly but surely send Impact back into the ring, and he takes a moment, holding his midsection before finally sliding into the ring!
Sienna Swann: Rex grabs onto the ropes while Impact is still down and out, and I think Rex at this point is having a hard time figuring out exactly what it’ll take to put Impact down! These two obviously have their history, but that’s probably just another reason this match has been so difficult for both of them.
Deadprez: Rex grabs Impact, slamming his face into the top turnbuckle and leaving him there! Impact sinks to a knee, and Rex slowly backs into the opposite corner! Rex seems to be planning something, but with that hurt back, I can’t imagine he’s going to have a great time going for this!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex just shakes his head, GRITTING PAST THE PAIN AS HE RUNS IN, CHARGING IN FOR A-
Sienna Swann: ***IMPACT CATCHES REX WITH ANOTHER EVISCERATION!!!!***
Deadprez: **NO!!!**
Gavin Kirkland: REX CATCHES HIM!!! REX WAS ABLE TO CATCH IMPACT BEFORE THE EVISCERATION COULD CONNECT!! REX ALREADY GOT HIT WITH IT ONCE, HE’S NOT MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE-
Sienna Swann: BUT LOOK!! Rex is still suffering from the damaged back, and because of that he’s forced to let go of Impact! Impact drops back down to his feet!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS ABLE TO LAND A HEADBUTT, CAUSING REX TO BACKPEDAL INTO THE ROPES!!! REX BOUNCES OFF, AND IMPACT RUNS IN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT REX DUCKS THE SWING AND FLOATS OVER-
Sienna Swann: # BEFORE DROPPING IMPACT WITH THE REX EFFECT!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: REX WAS ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ROPES PUSHING HIM FORWARD, JUST LIKE IMPACT WAS EARLIER!!! REX WAS ABLE TO DROP IMPACT ON HIS HEAD, FINALLY LANDING THE REX EFFECT AFTER AN INCREDIBLE BACK AND FORTH MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: REX’S BACK IS STILL BOTHERING HIM, BUT HE RAISED HIS ARM, FORCING HIMSELF TO TURN OVER! HE PUSHES IMPACT ONTO HIS BACK, BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(………)
(……..)
(…….)
(……)
(…..)
Sienna Swann: IMPACT, HE WAS ABLE TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS STILL IN THIS ONE, AND HE MAY HAVE REX’S INJURIES TO THANK FOR THAT ONE! Rex wasn’t in any condition to drag Impact away from the ropes, I don’t even know if he knew Impact was so close in the state he was in! Rex was just desperate to try and get to the cover, but thanks to that Impact was able to get the rope break and save his chances of winning this match!
Gavin Kirkland: That was very unfortunate for Rex, but he’s going to have to somehow find a way to keep up the offense!
Sienna Swann: Rex slowly begins pushing himself back up, and he drags Impact up before throwing him into the corner! Rex starts to kick away at Impact’s midsection, forcing Impact down to a seated position as Rex just starts stomping away at him! Rex is trying to wear Impact down, much like Impact has been with Rex all throughout this one. It’s smart, because right now I don’t think Impact is in any condition to actually fight back!
Deadprex: Rex is able to start building speed, RUNNING THE ROPES BEFORE LANDING A RUNNING FACE WASH!!! Impact just received a huge boot to the face, and now Rex drags him up, BEFORE LANDING A NASTY KNIFE EDGE CHOP THAT NEARLY CAUSES IMPACT TO FALL OUT OF THE RING!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact is able to grab onto the ropes at the last second to prevent himself from falling, but Rex stays on him, quickly dragging him from the ropes-
Sienna Swann: BUT IMPACT FIGHTS BACK! HE CAUGHT REX BY SURPRISE WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND THAT WASN’T STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE REX DOWN BUT IT CERTAINLY WAS ENOUGH TO BACK HIM AWAY! That bought Impact some time to regain his composure, and he stands himself back up as Rex charges in!
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! WE HAVE A HOCKEY FIGHT GOING ON BETWEEN THE TWO HALL OF FAMERS, AS BOTH MEN ARE JUST THROWING EVERYTHING THEY HAVE LEFT AT EACH OTHER, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF FIGHTING FOR ANOTHER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!! Both men are struggling to even stand at this point, but they keep trading punches as they’re just too stubborn to go down!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT IS ABLE TO CATCH REX OFF GUARD WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Smart move from Impact, WHO FOLLOWS IT UP BY GRABBING REX AND SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST!! Rex falls out of the corner, and now Impact quickly turns him around before hooking him with the headlock! Impact now running out of the corner, GOING FOR THE BULLDOG!
Sienna Swann: BUT REX LIFTS IMPACT AT THE LAST MOMENT, PLANTING HIM WITH A BACK SUPLEX! Both men go down, and now Rex turns himself over and pulls himself over to the ropes, using them to help him find his way up. Rex backs into the corner after that, and it looks like he’s waiting for Impact to find his way back to his feet.
Deadprez: I’m not too sure just yet what exactly Rex is thinking about, but at this point he can’t have many options left. I think these two have exhausted just about everything they have in their arsenals, but look at the face of McAllister! He can see the finish line right there, all he needs is one more big shot!
Gavin Kirkland: You’re right, and I think he knows exactly what that’s gonna be! Rex pushes himself forward, CHARGING IN ***FOR THE REX EFFECT!!!***
Sienna Swann: BUT HE CAN’T GET IT THIS TIME, SWEETIE!! HE COULDN’T GET TO IMPACT FAST ENOUGH, AND NOW JUST BEFORE HE COULD LAND THE DDT IMPACT CHARGES FORWARD AND DRIVES REX BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! Rex tried to ignore his back injuries Impact gave him, but that just gave Impact an opening!
Deadprez: And he doesn’t just stop at driving Rex into the turnbuckles! He lifts Rex onto the top rope, climbing up onto the middle rope before hitting Rex with a right hand!
Sienna Swann: Rex fights back as he hits Impact with a forearm, and Impact momentarily drops from the middle rope, before quickly climbing back and hitting Rex with a forearm of his own! Rex hits a second one, but now so does Impact! These two are going back and forth while Rex is still stuck up top!
Deadprez: BUT IMPACT BREAKS THE BACK AND FORTH BY GRABBING REX, LANDING ANOTHER HEADBUTT!!! AND ANOTHER ONE!!! ANOTHER, AND HE DOESN’T STOP!!! IMPACT JUST KEEPS HEADBUTTING REX, BEFORE MOVING AND DELIVERING CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK, USING THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY HE HAS LEFT TO JUST WEAR DOWN REX AND KILL ANY BIT OF FIGHT HE MAY HAVE LEFT!
Gavin Kirkland: Rex McAllister looks pretty done to me, and now Impact starts pulling him in, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE WHILE FALLING BACK!!!
Sienna Swann: # GUNSMOKE!!!!!!!
Deadprez: ***IT CONNECTS!!!!*** IMPACT WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH GUNSMOKE, THAT AVALANCHE PILEDRIVER ON REX MCALLISTER!!!!! REX IS DOWN AND OUT, NOT MOVING A MUSCLE AS IMPACT TURNS HIM AWAY FROM THE ROPES, DROPPING DOWN ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE COVER!!! TO BECOME THE NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, THIS IS IT!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Section’ begins to play once more, and the crowd explodes as Impact slowly rolls off of Rex McAllister. Impact remains laid out for a few moments, before slowly but surely grabbing onto the middle rope, using it to start pulling himself back up. He shakes his head, trying to shake off some of the pain he’s still feeling, before having his hand raised by the referee.)
Deadprez: AND IMPACT IS THE NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!!! These two brought everything out of each other, both giving performances that remind you why they’re two of the very greatest! In the end all the damage Impact did to the back caught up to Rex and slowed him down, and that slightly more sluggish pace gave Impact the chance to beat him down, until he was finally able to execute a move we don’t see from Impact too often!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a big deal for Impact. He fought for the Answers World Championship against Veena Adams and came up short, but now he has the chance to try again, and maybe even get that eleventh reign!
Sienna Swann: Props to Rex McAllister. He sure did give this his best, and if this is the Rex we’re getting all season it may not be long before he’s in that same position, fighting for gold.
Deadprez: I couldn’t agree more, but for now it’s Impact’s night. Congratulations to Impact for this victory!
(Impact looks down at Rex McAllister for a moment, nodding before turning away. He stands on the middle rope, raising his arms up after picking up the victory, and achieving the opportunity to fight for the Answers World Championship once more. As Impact celebrates his victory, Midsummer Massacre fades away from ringside.)
(We have returned from commercials and the next graphic is displayed on the screen to sounds of loud and excited cheers from the crowd.)
(After the graphic is displayed, the camera shot returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! This contest is the special TEXAS TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘All of the Lights (interlude)’ by Kanye West starts to play as the duo of Pandora Paisley and Jon Kelton enter the arena. No special theatrics for this entrance. The couple is strictly business as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Residing in Santa Monica, California and Dallas, Texas, respectively. At a total combined weight of 331 pounds. Here is the team of “THE HELLCAT” PANDORA PAISLEY AND “THE FLAW OF THE WORLD” JON KELTON!
Deadprez: Here comes a team, a duo, a couple or whatever you want to call them who are here to make a statement and continue to make their opposition’s lives a living hell.
Gavin Kirkland: Well Pandora does not and will not forgive Veena for costing her the Answers World Championship and has made it a mission to ruin Veena’s life. Meanwhile, Milli is dating Bronson and we know how Kelton and Bronson feel about each other…among everything else.
Sienna Swann: Sweeties, to put it very mildly, there is no love lost between any of the four participants in this match. After last week on Showdown expect, in simple terms, a fight.
(Pandora and Kelton enter the ring and take a corner as Kelton’s music is replaced by the sounds of “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande. The crowd is on their feet and going absolutely crazy for the entrance of Veena Adams and Milli Banks. They might have a smile on their faces, but their eyes tell a different story as they look inside the ring at Pandora and Kelton. There is no time to waste as they make their way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing their opponents! From Brooklyn, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, respectively. At a total combined weight of 279 pounds. They are the team of MILLI BANKS! VEENA ADAMS! THEY ARE KUTE! AND! KUNTY!
Gavin Kirkland: The beauties of Showdown are here and they are here ready to fight. Oh this is going to be good.
Sienna Swann: Three World Title reigns combined for this very successful team who teamed together at Reasonable Doubt and won the Armageddon Hell in a Cell match. Will luck be by their side again in a rivalry based upon jealousy, anger, and revenge.
Deadprez: Milli and Pandora couldn’t work together as a team last week while Kelton and Veena couldn’t be civil. These two teams have such chemistry together personally, but which relationship will persevere and win this match? Will it be the couple’s relationship? Or will it be best friends to the point of being considered almost sisters? We are about to find out.
(Veena and Milli get into the ring and are barely able to get both their feet in the ring as Kelton and Pandora rush over and start attacking and the referee quickly calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Sienna Swann: AND HERE WE GO! This tag team match is underway as Pandora and Kelton didn’t even wait for the opening bell before starting their attack on Veena and Milli. Kute and Kunty aren’t looking very cute in the opening seconds of this match.
Deadprez: Now to explain, this match is Tornado Rules. Meaning all four competitors are in the ring at the same time and no tagging necessary. That doesn’t mean that the rules are completely thrown out the window.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, this isn’t some Persephone approved bloodbath match where weapons are allowed. We have a lot of decorum and fighting spirit on Showdown.
Deadprez: But Pandora and Kelton are still putting the boots to Veena and Milli as both ladies are brought up and whipped to the ropes. They both go for the rebound AS PANDORA AND KELTON GO FOR DROPKICKS–
Sienna Swann: PANDORA HIT VEENA, BUT KELTON MISSED MILLI AS MILLI HOOKED THE ROPES AT THE LAST SECOND! KELTON WITH A BELLY FLOP AS MILLI TRIES TO STEAL IT EARLY WITH A QUICK MAGISTRAL CRADLE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: BARELY A ONE COUNT AS PANDORA BREAKS UP THE COVER WITH A BOOT TO THE HEAD! Good grief!!
Sienna Swann: Milli holds her head as Kelton quickly gets back on his feet and TOSSES MILLI OUT OF THE RING! Now the numbers game begins, sweeties.
Deadprez: Kelton and Pandora with a double clothesline taking Veena back down to the mat. They again pull Veena back to her feet and walk her back towards the corner AND THEY JUST TOSS HER HARD INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: The whiplash effect sends Veena back down to the mat face first AND PANDORA JUST STARTS RUBBING VEENA’S PRETTY FACE INTO THE MAT!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, that’s going to leave a horrible case of mat burn on her face. But right now, Pandora is just wanting to disfigure Veena as Pandora pulls Veena up by the hair and just starts talking trash.
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) No need to visit your plastic surgeon this year. Allow me, flower.
Deadprez: PANDORA JUST BOUNCES VEENA’S FACE OFF THE MAT AND THAT DID NOT LOOK PRETTY AT ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: Speak for yourself! Everything about Veena is pretty… and all natural. I only know that because of scientific research.
Deadprez: Yeah, I bet. But Pandora is having fun torturing Veena as Kelton pulls Veena into the full nelson. PANDORA FIRES OFF A KICK–
Sienna Swann: VEENA GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND SO DOES JON! BOTH AVOID CONTACT–
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI IS BACK IN THE RING AND TAKES KELTON DOWN WITH A LEAPING NECKBREAKER AS VEENA HITS THE LOU THESZ PRESS!
Sienna Swann: VEENA FIRING BACK WITH VERY STIFF PUNCHES TO THE FACE GETTING A LITTLE PAYBACK FOR WHAT PANDORA DID TO HER EARLIER!
Deadprez: Now Milli and Veena bring Pandora back to her feet as they lift Pandora up AND HIT THE KNEEBREAKER! Milli has hold of Pandora AND HITS THE DRAGON SCREW AND NOW HAS THE CRAVATE STYLE ANKLE LOCK APPLIED!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is a beautiful and talented competitor, but is a submission this early in the match very smart?
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, it can be if you play your cards right. As Veena is playing defense for Milli AS MILLI STARTS TO TRANSITION THE FIGHTING PANDORA INTO THE STF–
Deadprez: KELTON WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! HE CLOBBERS VEENA AND VEENA CRASHES INTO MILLI BEFORE MILLI CAN MOVE INTO THE STF AND THAT FREES PANDORA!
Gavin Kirkland: Almost a two for one special there as Kelton saves Pandora as Pandora gets back to her feet and Kelton grabs hold of Milli AND LIFTS HER IN THE AIR AS THEY DROP MILLI WITH A DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Milli is down on the mat as Kelton and Pandora each grab one of Milli’s legs as THEY FALL BACK WITH THE SLINGSHOT! MILLI GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHES ONTO THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US!
Sienna Swann: Now Pandora and Kelton are outside the ring completely stalking the former Universal Women’s Champion as she is trying to recover on the floor. They almost look amused at Milli’s struggles, Sweetie.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton brings Milli back to her feet and locks her arms as Pandora holds her chin and talks a lot of trash BEFORE SLAPPING MILLI ACROSS THE FACE AND KELTON LETS MILLI FALL TO THE MAT! WHAT DISRESPECT!!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, they don’t care. They want to make Milli and Veena’s lives miserable so they are going to torture the former World Champions as long and as horrible as they want.
Deadprez: LOOK AT THIS!!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ADAMS! VEENA WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ON PANDORA THAT SENDS PANDORA INTO KELTON AND THEY BOTH GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Sienna Swann: I guess a little turnabout is fair play by sending one teammate crashing into the other. Pandora and Kelton are trying to recover as Veena helps Milli back to her feet and Veena is pointing to the ropes.
Deadprez: No words exchanged as Milli nods and climbs out onto the apron. Veena gets out of the way as Pandora and Kelton are back to their feet–
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI HITS THE ROPES AND FLIES BACK! MILLI TAKES PANDORA AND KELTON DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL ASAI MOONSAULT! PANDORA AND KELTON’S SKULLS MEET THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Listen to this crowd cheering for the Kuty and Kunty combination. Milli and Veena are starting to build some momentum as they start putting the boots to Kelton to keep him down AS VEENA DRIVES AN ELBOW INTO THE BACK OF PANDORA’S NECK!
Sienna Swann: Milli and Veena look at their downed opponents and decide to pull Kelton to his feet AND WHIP HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! KELTON GOES SPINE FIRST!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena and Milli deliver stereo boots to the gut before they both back up AND RUN FULL SPEED TO KELTON AND CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND ONTO THE FLOOR IN THE CROWD!
Sienna Swann: Pandora is recovering and on her knees and now it’s a two on one situation. Normally, we would hear the referee counting everyone out, but remember Sweeties, no count outs in a Tornado Match.
Deadprez: Both Milli and Veena grab Pandora by the head AND RUN HER TO THE RING STEPS AND THEY PLANT HER FACE FIRST ON THE MIDDLE RING STEP WITH A DOUBLE BULLDOG!
Gavin Kirkland: Not a pretty landing as Pandora’s face hits the steps hard and Veena grabs Pandora by the hair AND SHE IS TRYING TO SHOVE PANDORA’S EYE INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING STEPS–
Sienna Swann: PANDORA BLOCKS IT AND THROWS AN ELBOW INTO VEENA’S MIDSECTION! WHEW! Not going to lie, Sweeties, I really didn’t wanna see Pandora’s eye getting gouged out tonight.
Deadprez: Pandora manages to get back to her feet and tries to smash Veena’s face into the chest, BUT MILLI HITS A BACKHANDED CHOP TO THE MOUTH! GOOD GAWD! WHAT A SHOT!
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know about you, but I think I saw a tooth go flying from Pandora’s mouth AS MILLI FIRES A CHOP TO PANDORA’S CHEST AND ROLLING HER BACK INTO THE RING!
Deadprez: As Milli is putting the boots to Pandora, Veena is climbing her way to the top rope. Milli misses a kick AND PANDORA GOES FOR ONE OF HER OWN AND MILLI DUCKS IT–
Sienna Swann: AND VEENA COMES OFF THE TOP AND IT IS A DIRECT HIT WITH THE DIVING CROSSBODY! PANDORA IS DOWN AND VEENA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA KICKS OUT AND VEENA WITH A NEAR FALL! But Kelton is still in the crowd, maybe hoping someone will ask for his autograph or something, I don’t know.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, Kelton is an egotistical person looking for people to acknowledge him or something. But he is still trying to recover as Veena and Milli make the most of this numbers game advantage.
Deadprez: Milli and Veena grab Pandora AND TAKE HER UP AND OVER WITH A DOUBLE SUPLEX! Veena pulls Pandora up by the hair and starts talking trash in return to Pandora, AND WE SEE THAT SHE IS BLEEDING FROM THE MOUTH!
Gavin Kirkland: We don’t know if it was from the backhand or if it was from her beautiful face hitting the steel steps, but Veena doesn’t care because she is going to let Pandora hear about it-
(SPAT!)
Sienna Swann: OH SWEETIES! PANDORA JUST SPIT IN VEENA’S FACE! I know I have been in some hellacious matches, but spitting in someone’s face is always just so…blech!!
Deadprez: AND VEENA THROWS A KESAGIRI CHOP RIGHT TO PANDORA’S THROAT! PANDORA IS HAVING A HARD TIME CATCHING HER BREATH AFTER THAT SHOT AND FALLS BACK TO THE MAT–
Gavin Kirkland: AND MILLI WITH THE RUNNING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT TO HER CHEST! OHHH POOR PANDORA! SHE MIGHT NEED A MASSAGE!
Deadprez: Oh dawg. Stop that!
Sienna Swann: You are extremely creepy sometimes!
Gavin Kirkland: What?
Sienna Swann: For the love of gawd! As we get back to the match, Pandora is down and still having trouble catching her breath after a shot to the throat and the chest–
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL?
Gavin Kirkland: JON KELTON IS BACK AND HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GRABS MILLI AS SHE WAS GETTING BACK TO HER FEET AND KELTON HITS THE SPRINGBOARD CANADIAN DESTROYER!!
Sienna Swann: Well that was unique, Sweetie. Pulling out all stops in order to win this match. But Milli was spiked on her head.
Deadprez: Kelton goes for Veena next and he gets his hands on her, BUT VEENA HITS A JAWBREAKER TO STAGGER KELTON FOR A SECOND!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena is firing forearms into Kelton’s face and backing him up to the ropes as the crowd cheers her on as she fights back–
Deadprez: Pandora has made it back to her feet and she has hold of Veena’s face AND PANDORA WITH THE “CAT CLAWS”! SHE JUST RAKED THE HELL OUT OF VEENA’S EYES!
Sienna Swann: She is blinded at the moment as Kelton picks up Veena AND HAS HER ON HIS SHOULDERS AND JUST LAUNCHES HER AND VEENA IS PLANTED FACE FIRST AFTER THE F-10 STYLE FACEBUSTER!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena landed hard on the canvas as Pandora doesn’t give her a chance to recover. Pandora pulls Veena’s arms back as she also steps on Veena’s legs and twists them around her own–
Sienna Swann: SHE FALLS BACK AND HAS VEENA UP IN THE SURFBOARD! SWEETIES, THIS IS A THING OF BEAUTY! THIS MOVE IS A FASHION DO! NO FAUX PA HERE!
Deadprez: While Pandora tortures Veena and the referee is there to check and see if Veena gives it, Kelton takes advantage of the lack of referee presence with him as he drags Milli to the ropes AND KELTON STARTS CHOKING MILLI ON THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: HER THROAT IS ON THE ROPES AND KELTON HAS SUCH A SHIT EATING GRIN ON HIS FACE KNOWING HE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, the crowd is booing the hell out of Jon Kelton while they are screaming at the referee to look at Jon so they can get Milli off the ropes. Meanwhile, the referee is watching Veena.
Deadprez: Not only Veena for risk of a submission, but also Pandora for risk of Pandora’s shoulders being down on the mat and risking being pinned.
Gavin Kirkland: As beautiful as Pandora is and as beautiful the surfboard submission is, it is also a very risky move–
Deadprez: OH MY GAWD!!
Sienna Swann: LOW BLOW!
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI WITH A LOW BLOW! MILLI FLUNG HER FOOT BACK AND CAUGHT JON IN HIS LITTLE KELTON!!
Sienna Swann: Oh, Sweetie. Never say that again. That was just weird.
Deadprez: Gavin’s comments were weird, but the low blow was very effective and the referee’s attention not being on them really backfired in Kelton’s case. Kelton’s eyes go wide in shock and pain.
Gavin Kirkland: Milli rolls into a seated position and makes sure the referee is still focused on the submission AND MILLI WITH ANOTHER LOW BLOW TO KELTON!! NOT AGAIN! EVEN I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A LITTLE PAIN AFTER WATCHING THAT!
Sienna Swann: Kelton can high the high octave notes now as Milli gets back to her feet AND GRABS VEENA UNDER THE ARMS AND PULLS HER BACK–
Deadprez: MILLI PULLS VEENA BACK INTO A BRIDGE AND SHE LOCKED PANDORA’S ARMS IN THE PROCESS SO PANDORA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND VEENA COULD STEAL IT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHH—
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA KICKS OUT! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL AS PANDORA GOT HER ARM FREE AND KICK OUT AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT TO KEEP THIS MATCH GOING!
Deadprez: It looked like Kelton was trying to break up the cover, but after taking two shots below the belt, it almost seemed like Kelton had a temporary paralysis.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, if you try to play stupid games and leave yourself open like that, you win the stupid prizes that you deserve.
Gavin Kirkland: There are jokes out there about this being the first time Jon has been touched down there in a very long time, but the pain on his face might be enough to prove me right.
Sienna Swann: That makes no sense. But right now, it is back to two on one as Kelton is temporarily incapacitated. Sweeties, they are going to make the most out of this opportunity.
Deadprez: Veena and Milli whip Pandora to the ropes. Pandora with the rebound AND SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A DOUBLE BACK ELBOW TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli brings Pandora back to her feet as Veena is climbing her way to the top rope. Milli is holding Pandora in place as Veena finds her balance–-
Sienna Swann: JON KELTON IS BACK ON HIS FEET AND HE DASHES AS FAST AS HE CAN TO THE CORNER AND HE SHOVES VEENA OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND SENDS HER CRASHING AND BURNING TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: OH GAWD! VEENA WENT FACE FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE AND THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN HER JAW RIGHT THERE, DAWG!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT VEENA’S BEAUTIFUL FACE!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HER, KELTON!! THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR!
Deadprez: Unfortunately, Veena can get comfortable there as Pandora snaps Milli over and takes her down to the mat AS SHE PUTS A BOOT RIGHT ACROSS MILLI’S THROAT!
Sienna Swann: Pandora and Kelton are just smiling and laughing at Milli’s anguish as the referee is telling them to let Milli go.
Gavin Kirkland: Why hasn’t the referee started counting? Shouldn’t this be a disqualification?
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, from what I heard earlier today, the referee is going to allow some leeway for this match due to the intense rivalry between these four. With that being said, I don’t know if they know that’s the case.
Deadprez: If they did, then Kelton and Pandora would have been bending the rules from the very start as Pandora finally lets Milli free. Poor Milli is gasping for air right now.
Gavin Kirkland: That might be the last bit of kindness from these two as they pull Milli back to her feet and whip her to the ropes. Milli with the rebound AS PANDORA TOSSES HER UP AND OVER WITH A BACK BODY DROP–
Sienna Swann: AND RIGHT INTO KELTON WHO DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER THAT COULD HAVE PUT HER THROUGH THE RING, SWEETIE!
Deadprez: Milli is not moving off the spinebuster and Pandora goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHH—-
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO!
Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND! DID MILLI KICK OUT OR DID PANDORA PULL MILLI UP…AT KELTON’S REQUEST!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM, DAWG!?
Sienna Swann: Sweeties, this is probably not going to be very good for Milli as Pandora helps Kelton get Milli onto his shoulders as they walk over to the ropes AND KELTON JUST DUMPS MILLI BACK OUTSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is on the floor as Kelton and Pandora exit the ring. Kelton goes for Milli as Pandora grabs Veena by the hair and drags her like a literal sack of potatoes over to Milli and Kelton.
Sienna Swann: Sweeties, I don’t like the evil intentions in their eyes as Pandora drives her boot into Veena’s spine and pulls her back by the hair.
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) Watch what we do to your bestie, love. Watch and learn your fate!
Deadprez: I don’t like this at all as Kelton has Milli on his shoulder ready to launch her or something AS HE RUNS FORWARD–
Gavin Kirkland: AND KELTON HIS A MODIFIED RUNNING POWERSLAM RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST! OH SHIT! POOR MILLI!
Sienna Swann: SWEETIES, THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN MILLI’S BACK AND WE KNOW THE TROUBLE MILLI HAS HAD WITH HER BACK DUE TO INJURIES OF THE PAST! THIS WON’T HELP ANYTHING!
Deadprez: All the while, Veena is angry and screaming and trying to get free as Kelton tosses Milli aside like she was nothing as Kelton drops to a knee AND JUST SLAPS VEENA ACROSS THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: They are just laughing at Veena as she was forced to watch her friend driven into the ringpost as the referee is telling them to get back in the ring because that’s the only way to win is to get the decision in the ring.
Deadprez: But they can beat the crap out of each other all over the ringside area to their heart’s content if they want and so far they have AND NOW KELTON AND PANDORA GRAB VEENA AND SEND HER SPINE FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING!
Sienna Swann: I guess besties might share and share alike. At this rate, it’s going to be broken backs and a room in the hospital if Kelton and Veena keep having their way with things.
Gavin Kirkland: Veena and Milli are both down and KELTON IS COMING OVER HERE TO THE TABLE! WHAT THE HELL DOES HE WANT? GO AWAY, KELTON!
Jon Kelton: SHUT UP, DUMBASS!
Sienna Swann: Well he certainly told you, Sweetie. But right now Kelton is tearing off the top of our commentary table and SLAMMING VEENA ON TOP! I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Deadprez: You can say that again. While Kelton gets Veena positioned on our announce table, PANDORA IS MAKING HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE! WHAT IS GOING ON IN HER MIND RIGHT NOW?
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora is beautiful, but I think she has a screw loo–
(WHACK!)
Sienna Swann: HAHAHAHAHA! Sweeties, if you couldn’t tell, Gavin forgot Jon Kelton was still at the commentary table and Kelton smacked Gavin upside the head!
Deadprez: All the while, Pandora is now on the top turnbuckle as Kelton is directing traffic AS PANDORA COMES OFF THE TOP WITH THE MOONSAULT–
(CRASH!!)
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!
Deadprez: WHAT? HOW, DAWG? OHHHHHHH!
Sienna Swann: PANDORA WENT FOR THE MOONSAULT AND SHE GOT A DIRECT HIT! BUT IT WAS JON KELTON! AT THE LAST SECOND, VEENA GRABBED KELTON BY THE WRIST AND ROLLED OFF THE TABLE AND PULLED KELTON ONTO THE TABLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora landed on top of Kelton and Veena rolled onto my lap! I prayed for something like this AND IT HAPPENED! WOOHOO!!
Sienna Swann: Well Gavin is actually being a gentlemen after making some creepy comments and helps Veena back to her feet–
Deadprez: AND VEENA SLAPS HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD TOO! DAWG, THAT IS THE BEST THING EVER!! As Veena staggers out of the arena. Veena, I am sorry for this moron and his creepy attitude.
Gavin Kirkland: OWWWWWWWW! I DIDN’T DESERVE THAT!
Sienna Swann: That’s a discussion for another day, as Veena is the only one standing at the moment. Normally, the referee would start counting but again there are no count outs in this match. But the fans are absolutely loving this.
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏👏👏
Deadprez: This certainly has been an awesome match so far and it doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon at this rate. Now Veena grabs Pandora by the hair and returns the favor of dragging Pandora around like a sack of potatoes back to the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Veena pulls Pandora back to her feet AND JUST SMASHES HER FACE AGAINST THE RING APRON! Veena pulls Pandora by the hair again AND SMASHES HER FACE INTO THE APRON!
Veena Adams: (off-mic) How does that feel, bitch?
Deadprez: Veena is simply returning the favor of trash talking like Pandora did to her earlier before Veena rolls Pandora back into the ring… AND NOW VEENA IS GOING UNDER THE RING! WHAT IS SHE DOING?
Sienna Swann: I don’t know, Sweetie, but it really isn’t going to do her really good right now and she is coming back with nothing as she starts to get into the ring–
Gavin Kirkland: JON KELTON! KELTON HAS HOLD OF VEENA’S LEG AND IS TRYING TO PULL HER BACK OUTSIDE, BUT VEENA IS HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES WITH ALL THAT SHE HAS!
Sienna Swann: Kelton is trying to buy Pandora more time to recover while also trying to get Veena back outside in order to cause more damage and it’s only a matter of time before Kelton’s power advantage pulls Veena–
(CRACK!)
Deadprez: AND KELTON LETS VEENA GO AND KELTON DROPS BACK TO THE FLOOR! WHAT HAPPENED?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know. Maybe it was a charlie horse or something or maybe Kelton is getting light headed and is close to passing out. Regardless, it worked in Veena’s favor.
Sienna Swann: Veena is back on her feet in the ring and she is smiling as she looks outside the ring… AT MILLI! Sweeties, I am a little confused at what happened.
(Milli is sitting on the floor outside the ring with a smile on her face looking at her bestie as the camera zooms in on something sticking out from underneath the ring skirt….)
Deadprez: OHHHHHHH! That’s why Kelton dropped to the floor. That explains it.
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S A HAMMER! VEENA DIDN’T COME OUT FROM UNDER THE RING EMPTY HANDED! SHE FOUND A HAMMER AND SECRETLY SLID IT TO MILLI TO USE AT THE RIGHT MOMENT!
Deadprez: Well that certainly was the right moment as Milli cracked Kelton in the leg with the hammer and he went down.
Sienna Swann: Veena turns around and PANDORA IS BACK UP AND SHE HITS THE CRESCENT KICK! VEENA GOT A LITTLE TASTE OF “THE CAT’S PAW” THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena dazed as she drops down onto her knees as Pandora hits the ropes AND FOLLOWS UP THE KICK WITH A LITTLE “FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION”!! VEENA DRIVEN DOWN HARD AFTER THE CURB STOMP AND PANDORA ROLLS HER OVER INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE–
(CRACK!)
Sienna Swann: MILLI IN AT THE LAST SECOND TO BREAK UP THE COVER AND SAVE THE MATCH FOR HER TEAM! Milli rolls over to the ropes right on our side of the ring AND WHAT DID SHE JUST DO, SWEETIES?
Deadprez: SHE DROPPED THE HAMMER! MILLI WITH THE HAMMER AGAIN AS SHE STRUCK PANDORA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE A THING!
Gavin Kirkland: I think the referees need better vision insurance because almost all of them are blind or something. Milli certainly got away with one there. Pandora is holding her head in pain as she looks over at Milli and glares at her.
Sienna Swann: Milli is getting back to her feet and pulls Pandora up to her feet as well AND MILLI DELIVERS A KNEE TO PANDORA’S CHEST! Pandora is doubled over as Milli gets Pandora on her shoulders AND FALLS BACK INTO THE SAMOAN DROP!
Deadprez: MILLI BANKS FOLLOWS UP WITH A KIP UP TO GET BACK TO HER FEET, BUT SHE IS HOLDING HER LOWER BACK AS SHE IS STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE POWERSLAM INTO THE RINGPOST EARLIER!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli goes for Pandora and pulls her onto her knees AND MILLI GRABS HER ARM BEFORE MILLI FIRES THE LEFT KNEE INTO PANDORA’S FACE!! “MEGIDOLADYNE” BY MILLI BANKS!
Sienna Swann: BUT KELTON IS BACK IN THE RING WITH “THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT”! THAT KNEE RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF MILLI’S HEAD STOPS MILLI IN HER TRACKS! SWEETIES, THESE FOUR ARE GOING FOR KNOCKOUT SHOTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is limping a little after that hammer to the knee as he grabs Milli and hooks her arms AS HE TRIES TO BUILD SOME MOMENTUM AND HE FINALLY GETS IT AFTER HE STARTS SWINGING MILLI AROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL–
Sienna Swann: AND KELTON SPIKES MILLI DOWN WITH “CHANGE THE FUTURE”! WHAT A DDT BY KELTON! MILLI SPIKED RIGHT ON HER HEAD AS KELTON ROLLS MILLI OVER AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: VEENA IS BACK AND SHE DIVES TO BREAK UP THE COVER! That is a near fall for Kelton as the match continues on.
Gavin Kirkland: Man, could you imagine if Kelton was able to beat both Milli and Bronson in back to back big events. His ego wouldn’t fit in the arenas.
Sienna Swann: That’s another story as all four competitors are all down in the ring and the crowd is cheering loudly for this match, especially for the team of Kute and Kunty. They want Milli and Veena to put Kelton and Pandora in their place, Sweetie.
Deadprez: The referee is being very hesitant on starting this sort of a count as they normally would in this position, but they want there to be a winner unless absolutely necessary.
Gavin Kirkland: All four competitors are still down at the moment, but everyone is starting to move and function and the crowd is firmly behind Kunt & Kunty.
Deadprez: But the question is who will be the first person back to their feet for this match? Whichever team gets a member up first could have the decided advantage.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, it looks like you are about to have your answer as it’s Jon Kelton back up to his feet, but Veena is surprisingly not that far behind.
Gavin Kirkland: But Kelton is readying that foot of his because we know that Kelton likes to go for the superkick in this position here and I don’t think Veena has a clue what is about to happen
Sienna Swann: Veena is back on her feet as she turns around AND KELTON FIRES OFF THE SUPERKICK! “GALICK GUN” FOR THE WIN–
Deadprez: THE “GALICK GUN” MISSES THE TARGET AS VEENA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! LOOK! VEENA FROM BEHIND WITH A ROLLUP! SCHOOLBOY HAS KELTON’S SHOULDERS DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON KICKS OUT AT TWO! VEENA ABOUT STOLE THE MATCH THERE AND KELTON DID NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL! Kelton is actually first to his feet AND HE TRIES FOR THE “GALICK GUN” ONE MORE TIME–
Sienna Swann: Veena avoids the shot again AND SHE COUNTERS WITH A CARTWHEEL KICK CATCHING KELTON ON THE JAW! Sweetie, not gonna lie, that was a pretty nice kick.
Deadprez: Kelton was rocked off the kick and Veena tried for the infamous Adams Family spear, BUT KELTON AVOIDED THE SPEAR! Veena quickly changes course AND NOW SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO THE “GALICK GUN” SUPERKICK! THAT WAS A DIRECT HIT!
Gavin Kirkland: Vegeta would have never taken three tries to hit his signature move. Just saying.
Deadprez: Dawg, how in the hell… you know what? Nevermind. Kelton pulls Veena back to her feet and whips her to the ropes and I think Kelton is setting Veena up for his “Final Atonement” spear.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, he’s trying to add insult to injury as Veena comes off the ropes–
Gavin Kirkland: “PANDORA’S BOX”! PANDORA FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND VEENA GETS A BIG BOOT RIGHT INTO THE FACE AND THAT COULD SPELL THE END OF KUTE AND KUNTY AS PANDORA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Sienna Swann: MILLI BANKS! SWEETIE, WE THOUGHT SHE WAS OUT OF IT!
Deadprez: Well, she is back AND SHE HIT THE NOCTURNE! BOTH FEET DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF PANDORA’S HEAD THANKS TO THE CURB STOMP AND HERE COMES KELTON GOING FOR MILLI–
Gavin Kirkland: Milli ducks Kelton and dumps him over the top rope and back to the floor. Smart move by Milli to get back into control of this match as she goes back to Pandora and brings her to her feet–
Sienna Swann: ANOTHER DOSE OF “CAT’S CLAWS” FOR MILLI BANKS AS PANDORA RAKES HER EYES AND BLINDS HER FOR THE MOMENT! That gives Pandora a chance to jump up AND TRY FOR THE HURRICANRANA–
Deadprez: Milli must have felt it coming because she is able to keep her balance AND SHE COUNTERS WITH A SITOUT POWERBOMB!! PANDORA LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS MILLI STACKS HER UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! PANDORA PUSHES THE MOMENTUM FORWARD AND PANDORA REVERSES THE COVER! MILLI’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND! PANDORA HAS HOLD OF THE ROPES! OH COME ON!! WHY IS SHE DOING THIS??
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Sienna Swann: Old habits die hard I guess, sweetie. But the referee caught the ropes and wondered what she was doing! Pandora is arguing with the referee and it is long enough for MILLI TO GET HER LEGS AROUND PANDORA AND BRING HER BACK DOWN FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA KICKS OUT AT TWO! That was a good three very close near falls that could have gone to either competitor at that point.
Sienna Swann: Both ladies are scrambling back to their feet with Pandora the first one to her feet. Sweeties, I am honestly surprised that any of these competitors still have energy left in the tank after beating the hell out of each other for so long.
Deadprez: PANDORA WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS MILLI STUMBLING BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES–
(CRACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? KELTON HAS A SMIRK ON HIS FACE–
Sienna Swann: AND A STEEL CHAIR IN HIS HAND! THE REPLAY SHOWS KELTON STRIKING MILLI IN THE BACK OF THE NECK WITH THE CHAIR! SWEETIES, HOW DID THE REFEREE MISS THAT?
Deadprez: I can’t make excuses for the referee, but I do see Milli stumbling back towards Pandora WHO HITS A BEAUTIFUL SPINNING HEEL KICK TO MILLI’S FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is back down on the mat as Pandora drags her over to the corner and Pandora begins the climb to the high rent district that is the top rope.
Deadprez: WHILE THAT HAPPENS, KELTON SNEAKS OVER TO VEENA AND JAMS THAT STEEL CHAIR INTO HER THROAT! KELTON MAKING SURE THAT VEENA CAN’T BREAK UP THIS COVER!
Sienna Swann: Pandora finds her balance AND COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A PICTURE PERFECT MOONSAULT! PANDORA LANDS DIRECTLY ON TOP OF MILLI AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: OHHHHH YES! MILLI GOT THE SHOULDER UP! MILLI GOT THE SHOULDER UP AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES! WOOOHOOO!
Sienna Swann: Pandora can’t believe it. She is stunned as she looks at the referee and argues that it was a three count. But the referee is standing firm that it was a two count.
Deadprez: Now Kelton is back in the ring and he is trying to intimidate the referee and convince them that it was a three count.
Gavin Kirkland: I wonder if the referee notices that Kelton still has the steel chair in his hand that he used on BOTH Milli and Veena earlier. Did he suffer a brain lapse or something?
Sienna Swann: Well, sweetie, it’s hard to notice a steel chair when you have two angry competitors ready to beat the hell out of you. So I think it is understandable in this case.
Deadprez: Pandora and Kelton realize that arguing isn’t going to help their case as they go back to the match. Kelton tosses the chair down on the mat and Pandora picks Milli up by the hair and tosses her to Kelton.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton has a facelock applied and lifts her up in the air… OH COME ON! KELTON IS GOING TO TRY AND HIT THE BRAINBUSTER ON THE CHAIR–
Deadprez: MILLI CHANGES MOMENTUM AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT AND IT’S KELTON’S HEAD SPIKED ONTO THE CHAIR! SERVES HIM RIGHT!
Sienna Swann: BUT LOOK! MILLI HAS TRANSITIONED THE DDT INTO A KIMURA LOCK! THAT’S HER “STRANGE JOURNEY” COMBINATION! MILLI TRYING TO FULLY LOCK IN THE KIMURA–
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA WITH A LEG DROP ACROSS MILLI’S THROAT STOPS MILLI BEFORE THE KIMURA COULD BE LOCKED IN! Pandora is back on her feet as Kelton is freed AND PANDORA HITS ANOTHER LEG DROP ACROSS THE THROAT!
Sienna Swann: Pandora is back up for the hat trick AND SHE GETS THE THIRD LEG DROP! TRIPLE LEG DROP BY PANDORA AND MILLI IS NOT MOVING RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: Which is exactly what Pandora wants as she brings Milli back to her feet and whips her to the ropes WHICH MILLI SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO COUNTER!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora hits the ropes and comes back off the rebound as Milli grabs her for a backbreaker, BUT PANDORA GETS HER LEGS AROUND MILLI’S HEAD FOR A HEADSCISSORS–
Sienna Swann: INSTEAD SHE KEEPS IT LOCKED AND GRABS MILLI’S ARM AND LOCKS IN A MODIFIED OCTOPUS STRETCH SUBMISSION!
Deadprez: That submission is locked in pretty deep and while Milli is fighting it, the damage she has taken is causing her to lose her energy much quicker than necessary.
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI IS FADING! MILLI IS FADING FAST AND PANDORA COULD WIN IT HERE WITH THE OCTOPUS! I MEAN WHAT A WAY TO GO!
Deadprez: You are sick, dawg! But Milli has fallen to the mat as Pandora is really pulling back on that arm and now has a grapevine on the other arm to make sure the only way this match can end is if Milli passes out.
Sienna Swann: LOOK AT MILLI! SHE IS ALMOST OUT COLD! PANDORA HAS THIS WON!! PANDORA IS GOING TO MAKE MILLI PASS OUT–
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA! VEENA WITH AN MMA STYLE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF PANDORA’S HEAD AND THAT FREES MILLI! Now Veena grabs Pandora and pulls her over to the chair and puts her head in between her legs… OH BABY!!
Sienna Swann: Oh stop it, Gavin. You can be such a pervert sometimes.
Deadprez: Sometimes?
Gavin Kirkland: I AM NOT!
Sienna Swann: Anyways, sweeties, Veena has Pandora in position FOR THE SCISSORS STOMP! RIGHT ON THE STEEL CHAIR! PANDORA KISSING THE STEEL OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Deadprez: I am wondering if the referee is allowing this to go ahead because Kelton was the one who brought in the chair and this goes back to the referee allowing leeway in this match?
Gavin Kirkland: Who cares? I am glad it’s happening as Veena has stopped the scissors stomp AND CLOBBERS PANDORA WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE TO THE SKULL!
Deadprez: Pandora was knocked loopy off of that as Veena slowly gets back to her feet as this match has taken a lot out of her. To be honest, it has taken a lot out of everyone in this match and the crowd is loving it.
Sienna Swann: Veena has hold of Pandora as Pandora is almost deadweight right now after having her skull meet steel repeatedly just a few seconds ago–
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES KELTON BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE IS LOOKING FOR THE FINAL ATONEMENT TO END VEENA HERE–
Sienna Swann: WAIT A SECOND! MILLI BANKS! MILLI GRABS KELTON’S LEG AND IS ABLE TO TRIP HIM UP AND TAKE HIM TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: Now Veena does the same thing with Pandora. Veena and Milli each have a leg of their opposition. They look at each other and smile BEFORE THEY ROLL THEM OVER–
Gavin Kirkland: INTO STEREO SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRABS!! DOUBLE SUBMISSIONS LOCKED IN AND IF EITHER ONE TAPS, IT’S OVER!
Sienna Swann: SWEETIES, LOOK! BOTH MILLI AND VEENA ARE MOVING FURTHER BACK AND PUTTING A LOT MORE PRESSURE ON THE BACKS OF PANDORA AND KELTON!
Deadprez: PANDORA’S FOOT IS TOUCHING THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH HOW FAR BACK VEENA IS STRETCHING HER! GOOD GAWD! PANDORA IS LOOKING ALMOST LIKE A PRETZEL RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli is trying to match Veena by trying to do the same thing to Kelton. Yeah, I don’t think Kelton is as flexible as Pandora. If Kelton’s boot touches his head, I don’t think we’d ever see him again. Welllllllll.
Deadprez: No.
Sienna Swann: Well the submissions are still applied and Veena is having better luck isolating Pandora away from the ropes than Milli is Kelton due to the size difference between the two and KELTON MAKES IT TO THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton simply rolls on his back AND KICKS MILLI OFF OF HIM WITH SOME FORCE AND SENDS MILLI CRASHING INTO VEENA! That causes Veena to fall forward with Milli landing on Veena’s back.
Sienna Swann: That also frees Pandora from the submission. Kelton goes over to his girlfriend and helps her to her feet. Pandora is moving fine, but you have to believe those Boston Crabs did more damage than they are letting on. Especially since Kelton took a hammer to that same leg earlier in the match.
Deadprez: Right now it’s the team of Pandora and Kelton who are in control of this match. Kelton and Pandora bring Veena back to her feet before they BRING HER BACK DOWN WITH A DOUBLE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena is down and they pull Veena back to her feet AND PANDORA WEAVES VEENA’S ARMS INTO THE ROPES! VEENA IS STUCK THERE! VEENA LOOKS PISSED AS SHE TRIES TO GET FREE–
Sienna Swann: AND IS MET WITH ANOTHER SLAP FROM PANDORA! Now Pandora is choosing now to add a little more insult to injury to the situation.
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) WATCH WHAT WE DO YOUR BESTIE, LOVE!
Deadprez: Meanwhile, Kelton drops Milli with the Twist of Fate before dragging Milli closer to the corner. Now Kelton is gingerly climbing to the top rope. This could finish the match right here.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton has his balance with that knee threatening to buckle as Pandora smiles and yells for Kelton to finish her. Kelton taunts the arena a little bit BEFORE HE COMES OFF THE TOP WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS–
Deadprez: KNEES UP! MILLI GOT THE KNEES UP! KELTON WAS SHOWBOATING TO THE CROWD FOR A BRIEF SECOND BEFORE HE ATTEMPTED THE MOVE AND IT BACKFIRED!
Sienna Swann: Milli is back on her feet AND LIFTS PANDORA ENOUGH FOR A HANGMAN ON THE ROPES BEFORE PULLING KELTON IN FOR A RIPCORD SLAP!
Gavin Kirkland: She hits the ropes for THE BICYCLE KNEE BEFORE JUMPING ON KELTON’S SHOULDERS AND TAKING HIM AND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AS SHE FLIPS BACK AND SPIKES HIS HEAD ON THE APRON!
Sienna Swann: Modified “Crossfaded” by Milli and Pandora is back on her feet AS VEENA HAS FREED HERSELF FROM THE ROPES! PANDORA DOESN’T REALIZE THIS AS IS FORCIBLY TURNED AROUND BY VEENA–
Deadprez: AND VEENA IS UNLOADING ON PANDORA WITH ONE STRIKE AFTER ANOTHER! YOU CAN’T SAY THAT PANDORA DOESN’T DESERVE THIS!!
Gavin Kirkland: Well she kind of doesn’t because Veena started all of this. I love Veena, but it’s true.
Sienna Swann: Which side are you on?
Deadprez: That’s not the point right now because Veena has had enough of Pandora’s bullshit and Pandora trying to make Veena’s life a living hell because now NEITHER of them have the Answers World Championship.
Gavin Kirkland: Veena pulls Pandora back to her by the hair and grabs her by the head BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND DROPPING PANDORA WITH “A DARK TURN”!
Deadprez: Elbow to the skull puts Pandora down and Veena drags Pandora over to the corner and Veena is calling for the end as she climbs to the top rope.
Sienna Swann: Sweeties, she is looking to end the match here as she makes it to the top rope. She doesn’t look back AND JUST GOES FOR IT ALL AS SHE FLIPS BACK FOR THE “FATAL VOW”!
Gavin Kirkland: NOBODY HOME! PANDORA ROLLS AWAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND VEENA SIMPLY CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE MAT RIGHT THERE!
Sienna Swann: Pandora is looking pretty happy about that as she is watching Veena try to recover as Pandora is readying her fist for the “Pandorum”–
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: OH COME ON!! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE? SILAS MASON IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP AND PANDORA DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY ABOUT IT AT ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Silas Mason is at ringside. What the hell does he want?
Silas Mason: (off-mic) Remember, Pandora. You still work for me!
(Silas slides Pandora a pair of brass knuckles before he jumps on the apron. Pandora is wondering what the hell is going on.)
Silas Mason: (off-mic) Use the brass knuckles and finish her off! NOW!
(Pandora looks at the weapon and simply shakes her head no.)
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) NO! I refuse to win the match this bloody way. I’m not doing it that way. But I will be happy to use them.
Silas Mason: (off-mic) YOU ARE STILL PART OF SILAS WORLD! DO AS I SAY AND CLOCK THE BITCH! FINISH HER NOW, PANDORA!!
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) FINE!
(Silas smiles as Pandora slides on the brass knuckles. She looks down at her fist and takes a deep breath….)
(BAM!)
Crowd: AOIGAOIGHAOGAOGHASOHGAORHGOARG!!
Sienna Swann: PANDORA WITH THE “PANDORUM” ON SILAS MASON! WHAT A PUNCH AND HIS BALD ASS GOES RIGHT OFF THE APRON, SWEETIES! THE CROWD IS ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS!
Crowd: PAN-DOR-A! PAN-DOR-A! PAN-DOR-A! PAN-DOR-A!
Gavin Kirkland: These fans love anybody who beat the hell out of Silas Mason as she tosses the brass knuckles off and throws them on Silas–
Deadprez: SPEAR!! VEENA HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO RECOVER AND SHE HIT THE SPEAR! PANDORA WAS TURNED INSIDE OUT!
Sienna Swann: Pandora is down and Veena drags her back to the corner and goes to the top rope one more time! Veena is up AND HERE SHE COMES!
Deadprez: FATAL! VOW! THIS TIME THE MOVE HITS AND THE BOOTS ARE DRIVEN INTO THE HEART OF PANDORA PAISLEY! VEENA SIMPLY FALLS TO THE MAT AND USES HER LAST BIT OF ENERGY TO HOOK THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The bell has rung and “7 Rings” starts playing throughout the arena as the crowd erupts in cheers as Veena slowly rolls off of Pandora and tries to catch her breath for a moment as Gina Romano announces the final decision.)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners… MILLI BANKS! VEENA ADAM! KUTE AND KUNTY!!
Deadprez: We predicted that this was going to be a war and that’s exactly what we got here tonight in this Tornado Tag Team match. Both teams brought the fight and it is the Kute and Kunty combination that leaves with the victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Milli and Veena came out here with a mission and that’s exactly what they accomplished in this match. Of course we can’t take away anything from Pandora and Kelton for their effort in this match.
(Milli is back in the ring as she helps her bestie back to her feet as the referee raises their arms in victory. The ladies embrace as they take a moment to celebrate their victory.)
Sienna Swann: As much as I would love to put all the blame on that idiot Silas Mason, sweeties, I can’t. While Pandora and Kelton were close on numerous occasions, part of the blame has to be put on Pandora for letting that bald moron take her eye off the ball long enough for Veena to recover and wrap up this match for her team.
Gavin Kirkland: Both teams had to delve into sneaky tactics to try to turn things in their favor, but it was expected with how badly these four wanted to beat the hell out of each other.
Deadprez: Milli and Veena each got a little bit of retribution in this match with this amazing victory. Pandora and Kelton were close and had the match on numerous occasions, but this Tornado Tag team is simply… Kute and Kunty. Congratulations on the victory.
(After Milli and Veena celebrate in the ring, they hug one more time all smiles as they leave the ring and head up the entrance ramp. The camera focuses back in the ring as Pandora slowly sits up holding her sternum in pain leaning against the bottom rope furious while watching Veena and Milli walk up the ramp celebrating. Kelton comes to his girlfriend and checks on her. Tears of anger in her eyes as she screams in anger.)
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley is visibly upset, she has not won the most important matches lately, and now another falls through her fingers this time again thanks to Silas Mason. Wait… look at Pandora.
(Pandora whispers to Jon.)
Pandora Paisley (Off Mic) Bring me that fucking sod to me.
(Kelton nods and rolls out of the ring, he grabs Silas Mason and throws him back in as Pandora is slowly trying to get back up holding her midsection, hurt, tired, and pissed off at all hell.)
Sienna Swann: YES! Get your licks in girl! Make that son of a bitch pay for what he did, sweetie!
Gavin Kirkland: This does not look good for Silas Mason as Pandora is back up and Jon Kelton is holding him up. Look at Pandora, gritting her teeth, I have never seen her this angry and furious before! She grabs Silas Mason by the face!
(Pandora screams in his face as Veena’s theme dies down. You can hear her screaming at him.)
Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) YOU HAVE SCREWED ME OVER FOR THE LAST BLOODY TIME! I AM NO LONGER IN SILAS WORLD AND MATTER OF FACT! IT ENDS FOR YOU IN A CATASTROPHE!
Deadprez: JON KELTON THROWS SILAS AT PANDORA AS SHE HOOKS HIM FOR THE HEADLOCK DRIVER AS THE CROWD IS GOING NUTS AND PANDORA HITS IT –
Gavn Kirkland: SHE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY DONOVAN DUKE WHO RETURNED EARLIER! EL DUQUE JUST ATTACKED JON KELTON! THEY ARE STOMPING ON PANDORA AND KELTON! THEY JUST HAD A MATCH AND WAIT!
Sienna Swann: CATACLYSM IS IN THE RING AS WELL AND ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF PANDORA AND JON KELTON! THIS IS A MUGGING!
(The Beat down continues as Pandora Paisley is on the mats getting kicked by Donovan Duke and El Duque, Cataclysm is all over Jon Kelton as the fans boo. Silas Mason screams to lift Pandora up.)
Silas Mason: (Off Mic) YOU WANT TO PUNCH ME!? YOU WILL NEVER LEARN BITCH!
Sienna Swann: HE KICKS PANDORA IN THE MIDSECTION AND DDT’S HERE TO THE MAT! LOOK AT SILAS! THAT SON OF A BITCH IS ALL OVER PANDORA! HE HAS THE BRASS KNUCKLES AND HE IS PUNCHING HER IN THE FACE!
(Pandora has been split open as Jon Kelton is trying to fight back and help her but he is getting beat down too when suddenly – )
Gavin Kirland: HERE COMES DAMIEN KUTCHER AND HALSEY NEEL! THEY COME RUNNING OUT AFTER THEIR MATCH EARLIER AND SLIDE IN! THEY START FIGHTING OFF SILAS WORLD! KELTON IS BACK UP!
Sienna Swann: KUTCHER AND KELTON CLOTHESLINE CATACLYSM OUT OF THE RING! HALSEY NEEL KICKS EL DUQUE OUT OF THE RING AS DONOVAN DULKE ESCAPES AND GETS SILAS MASON OUT OF THE RING AS HE LOOKS AT HIS FIST WITH PANDORA’S BLOOD ON HIS HAND!
(Kelton quickly checks on the bloody Pandora who is trying to get back up, Halsey is also helping her up as she realizes who came to her aid, and the British Invasion partners hug. Damien Kutcher and Jon Keotn stare down Silas World as they back off.)
Deadprez: DAMIEN AND HALSEY CAME TO THE AID OF JON AND PANDORA AS ALL FOUR WERE SCREWED BY SILAS MASON TONIGHT! THEY STAND TOGETHER AS SILAS WORLD BACKS OFF; SILAS IS SMILING!
(The final scene shows Pandora bleeding and being held up glaring at Silas Mason, but thankful her loved ones came to the rescue. The scene slowly fades from the stare down.)
(The graphic for the Main Event appears.)
(https://imgur.com/eQp4U5S)
(The crowd rises in cheers as the camera pans slowly across the ring, before slowly rising up and showing the steel cage itself beginning to lower inch by inch, just before eventually landing down onto the ring apron and then resting there. Gina Romano stands outside of it with the microphone in her hands.)
Gina Romano: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT WILL BE FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN A STEEL, CAGE, MAAAAATTTCHHHHHHH!!!
(The camera then pans back over towards the stage… ‘LIKE WEEZY’ by Playboi Carti plays on the speakers, and the entire arena boos in unison.)
(The spotlights shine down bright on the entrance stage. The curtains part as the challenger himself, Joso, walks forward onto the stage. He walks forward expressionless, the sunglasses in his eyes covering the windows to his soul. He adjusts the black jacket, his jacket combined with an all gold ensemble ring gear. He slowly crouches down, beckoning the camera to get closer. He grabs onto the necklace with the black rose and then he gives it a kiss before he poses in all of his glory, fireworks shooting out into the air, fireworks raining down right behind him as he finally moves forward, a confident expression on his face, truly believing that tonight was going to be his moment after such a long time. No matter what people thought of him.)
Gina Romano: FIRST, THE CHALLENGER, FROM THE BRONX, NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS, HE IIIISSS THE “STAAAARR PLAYEEEEEEERRRRR”, JOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
(Boos continue to reign down upon Joso, he keeps his hands outstretched, ignoring the hate of the crowd around him. He walks forward down the ramp and around ringside. His eyes focus fully on the steel cage that is around the ring. He stops at the steel steps going inside of it. He takes off his sunglasses and the necklace as well and puts them away at ringside. He goes up them and enters inside, the continuous booing only makes Joso at that point crack a smile. As he jumps up to the ropes in front of him and then poses to the people again. He jumps off and then walks towards his corner.)
(It is then that “Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra plays on the speakers to an ovation of cheers. The spotlights shined all around the entrance stage once more, fog began to appear around it as well. A flowing black cape was shoved away to the side, all while it flowed beautifully behind the woman coming out. Bea Valentine walked forward, the Answers World Championship right behind her arm, a focused and serious expression on her face. Her own ring gear was made with black and white colors, black tears were painted right under her eyes, it was almost resembling that of a mime. She slowly extends her arms forward, moving it along almost like a conductor with their orchestra before she poses, and fireworks shoot out right beside her. She finally walks forward, her eyes only focused on the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, WEIGHING IN AT 143 POUNDS, SHE IS THE “ETERNAL CHAMPION” HERSELF, THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(Bea Valentine walks forward, extending her arms, accepting the high fives of a few people in the front row but her focus was solely on the ring and the man inside of it. She walks forward with an aura of regal authority, and a heavy weight that she is willing to get rid of tonight. Her duty as the Answers World Champion is very much clear now. She finally arrives at the steel steps and unclips the cape. She goes up the steps and enters inside, moving to raise up the championship to the sky with two hands, once more getting the cheers of the people. All while she slowly turns and then shoots a glare towards Joso’s way. Joso does the same.)
(She finally delivers the championship to the referee. They grab it and then they raise it up too for a few seconds before they walk over and deliver it to the referee outside. They move to check on both competitors, making sure they are prepared, before…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: IT, IS, TIMEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: BEA AND JOSO RUSH FORWARD OUT OF BOTH OF THEIR CORNERS AND THEY CLASH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! FISTS ARE THROWN FROM EACH SIDE! THE TWO OF THEM ARE NOT HOLDING BACK A SINGLE BIT AS THEY TRY TO TEAR EACH OTHER DOWN!
Sienna Swann: A truly tragic tale that has to be told to all of the people watching, Bea said herself that she considered Joso a friend and ally of hers, but it seems that the jealousy and the anger of Joso ended up getting to him. He ends up getting in touch with a hot smoking woman and then suddenly he feels like he is a big shot, he feels like he is on top of the world!
Gavin Kirkland: Hey! Big man Joso has his points! He ended up taking a grenade for her and she ended up being the one to go to superstardom and he was the one left behind! I would be annoyed if that happened to me!
Sienna Swann: I think it only makes his point worse that you are agreeing with him, Gavin!
Deadprez: Either way, it is clear that heading into this match there was going to be no lost love between these two! You can see already from this first minute! Even when they are easily wasting energy already trying to clash between each other, they still continue to try and find an opening here! They want to show that they can draw first blood!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA DUCKS DOWN AS JOSO ENDS UP SWINGING FOR THE HIGH FENCES! He almost trips as he tries to turn around, Bea tries to run to the other corner and then gather speed here! SHE TRIES TO GO FOR A SHOTGUN DROPKICK!
Sienna Swann: JOSO ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
Deadprez: Bea is fast enough to stop herself before she can crash against the corner! She is the one that turns herself, Joso trying to jump onto her- HE WANTS TO GO FOR A RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! LOOK AT THE POWER OF THE EMPRESS HERSELF! SHE IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO JOSO JUST BEFORE HE CAN BRING HER DOWN! SHE TURNS WITH HIM! AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD!
Deadprez: BEA VALENTINE ENDS UP SLAMMING JOSO BACK FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL WALL- BEFORE TURNING OVER AND THEN SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A SPINEBUSTER! SHE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO ENDS UP KICKING RIGHT OUT AT TWO! Obviously things aren’t going to be easy for the Eternal Empress here! There is plenty of anger behind that expression of hers though! She grabs onto the wrist of Joso and tries to pull him up, she wants to go for an Irish Whip here!
Deadprez: Joso pulls down his weight and prevents her here! JOSO PULLS HER IN INSTEAD! HE IS ABLE TO GET A KNEE STRIKE RIGHT ACROSS THE SIDE OF HER JAW! Bea ends up bouncing off the ropes behind her and then Joso is able to pull her up! He turns and runs forward- AND THEN SLAMS HER BACK FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL WALL BEHIND HER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Bea ends up falling through and behind the ropes here! She grits her teeth in pain as Joso snatches her by her hair and then pulls her back inside of the ring! That sound of her slowly falling across the wall was not pretty!
Sienna Swann: None of this match is going to be pretty in any way! Joso tries to pick her up onto the shoulders and then plans to throw her back onto the wall- but Bea is able to slip behind him! SHE TRIES TO BRING HIM DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER HERE- AND SHE DOES SO! Joso grits his teeth himself and then kicks his legs against the mat in frustration.
Deadprez: The two of them shake their heads, trying to focus back on the match here, rolling away from each other- JOSO TRIES TO STOMP HER RIGHT ON THE GUT JUST BEFORE SHE CAN GET UP!
Gavin Kirkland: THE EMPRESS CATCHES HIS FOOT! She swipes at his leg and then takes him down to the mat! SHE JUMPS AND THEN STOMPS HIM RIGHT ON THE GUT WITH A DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP! Bea tries to transition right over, grabbing him and then forcing him up again by his arm- BEA WITH A CHOP TO HIS CHEST! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER!
Deadprez: BEA VALENTINE IS LIGHTING HIM UP WITH CHOP AFTER CHOP! If she puts any more force she is going to burst a blood vessel here! She finally pushes him to the ropes and then she runs right after him!
Sienna Swann: Joso ends up grabbing onto the ropes at the last second- HE CATCHES BEA VALENTINE AND THEN LIFTS HER UP! IT SEEMS HE WANTS TO GO FOR A FLAPJACK!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT IS A FLAPJACK STRAIGHT INTO THE STEEL WALL! BEA GETS HER FACE SMASHED INTO IT ALL WHILE JOSO THROWS HER BACK ONTO THE MAT! Joso shakes his head in frustration, beginning to talk down to Bea while she is on the ground! That is not how you talk to a lady right there, Joso!
Sienna Swann: He has been trying to belittle her for the entire week and make the world believe that she is only successful because of him, that the world championship she has is because of him, but Bea has been able to succeed in many different ways without the need of Joso! He is like an obsessive fan who holds a parasocial relationship that you can’t get rid of!
Gavin Kirkland: And he wants to really crush your skull against a steel cage!
Deadprez: AND STOMP INTO IT! A STOMP ONTO THE FACE OF BEA! A KICK RIGHT TO HER RIBS! Bea lays on her back and Joso- oh come on, he just puts a foot over her chest. That is just trying to mock her!
Referee: ONEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND BEA KICKS RIGHT OVER! She pushes the foot of Joso off of her! Bea Valentine showing the fire that she has shown many times already! COME ON, EMPRESS!
Deadprez: JUST FOR JOSO TO KICK HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE AGAIN! Bea crumbles and then Joso goes to cover her here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO!!
Sienna Swann: She is clearly not giving up, people! She kicks out once more at the count of two! Joso grabs her by the hair and then tries to pull her up to her knees!
Joso: (off-mic) You really want to spend your last minutes as world champion trying to fight something that you can’t win! You can’t beat me one on one!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA RISES AND THEN SHE SLAPS THE TASTE RIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH!
Sienna Swann: Oh sweetie, if you ask me, I don’t think any of these wrestlers are going to end up going for an escape, they are not going to leave there until the other person is unmoving! Joso tries to turn back and then get her down with a back slap- BUT YET AGAIN BEA IS ABLE TO KICK HIM RIGHT IN THE SIDE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE! SHE GRABS HIM BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: AS SHE IS ABLE TO SHOVE HIM OVER- AND THEN SMASH HIS HEAD AGAINST THE WALL HERE! Joso crumbles back to the mat and Bea slowly falls back towards the corner here! She is zero-ing here on Joso! She raises her arms to the sky as the people in the crowd rise up to their feet! SHE RUNS FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE RUNS FORWARD FOR THE “BEA TRIGGEEEERRR”!!!!
Sienna Swann: JOSO TURNS AND THEN JUMPS FORWARD- JOSO WITH HIS OWN DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP SMASHES BEA VALENTINE BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Joso falls after, checking his face for a moment to make sure that he is bleeding. The pretty face is the only thing that he has going for him, because the awful personality? Yuck!
Deadprez: Joso is good, there is nothing bleeding just yet. I say yet because I know damn well things will get super ugly. Joso- WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK THAT BRINGS BEA DOWN BACK ONTO THE MAT! Joso brings her over and then pulls her closer to the ropes, what is he trying to do now?!
Gavin Kirkland: He… he is using the ropes to be able to wrap her arms around them- AS HE KICKS THE LEFT ARM OF BEA TRAPPED IN THE ROPES! AGAIN AND AGAIN! He is even pulling it awkwardly to the other side to put pressure on it! That is a rope break, count it!
Sienna Swann: There are no rope breaks inside of a Steel Cage match, sweetie! Even No DQ’s count inside out, just that the weapon for the both of them is the Steel Cage itself!
Deadprez: And now Joso is trying to take advantage of these rules to piece Bea Valentine apart! He finally rushes to the ropes right beside him- AND THEN GOES FOR A RUNNING KICK TO THE ARM! It finally slips out and Bea grabs tightly onto it in pain, Joso tries to run to the ropes again and then gather momentum- AS HE TRIES TO TAKE HER HEAD OFF WITH THE DISCUS LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA DUCKS DOWN AND THEN IS ABLE TO SNATCH HIM BY THE WAIST- WAIT! NO! By instinct she ended up using the damaged arm and she was unable to lift Joso up! Joso snatches it again and then tries to turn it over, he wants to go for a Kimura Lock here! He lifts her arm over his head!
Sienna Swann: But he made a horrible mistake going for that! BEA IS ABLE TO GET HER ARM FREE! She grabs him by the neck- WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP THAT SENDS HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Bea now is the one that grabs onto one of his arms- AND THEN SHE STARTS TO KNEE IT! AGAIN AND AGAIN! Bea is putting every bit of her force into wearing down the left arm of Joso! Joso is trying to struggle and then kick her away!
Deadprez: One well-placed kick to the gut finally forces Bea to let go! Joso grabs onto his left arm in pain though. It seems that these two can get on the same page at least when it comes to hurting one another.
Gavin Kirkland: Yay to the power of friendship!
Sienna Swann: There is nothing close that right now, sweetie. It just shows that the two are willing to go the extra step to be able to hold that championship in their hands. Bea is the first that is able to get to her feet, she rushes towards Joso for a knee drop!
Deadprez: He rises up his legs and then kicks her away just before she can go for it! Joso rolls forward and back up to his feet without barely being able to use his left arm! Joso tries to run back and then jump onto Bea! He tries to go for a Tornado DDT here with only his right arm! An impressive sight that you have to give Joso either way!
Gavin Kirkland: And what is even more impressive than that! Bea is capable of pushing herself forward and stop Joso before he can go for the full spin! She uses her free arm to push him onto the ropes and then use them to irish whip him to the other side! Joso bounces off wildly- AS BEA VALENTINE IS ABLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SLINGBLADE! That is my Answers World Champion right there! Bea Valentine rolls through herself and turns towards Joso on his hands and knees! BEA RUNS FORWARD AND THEN GOES FOR THE “BEA STING”!!!
Sienna Swann: The challenger is fast enough to move out of the way! Bea gets nothing here! JOSO SNATCHES HER! “EXECUTIONER FROM HELL”!!!!
Deadprez: JOSO TRIES TO LIFT HER UP ALL OF THE WAY AND IT GIVES BEA THE CHANCE TO BREAK FREE! She ends up landing right behind him! She grabs him by his head and she rushes forward, she wants to smash his face against the steel wall again!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! JOSO ENDS UP REVERSING!
Deadprez: AND HE IS THE ONE THAT SLAMS BEA FACE FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL WALL OF THE CAGE! Damn it!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso lets go- NO, WAIT? HE SMASHES HER FACE AGAINST THE WALL AGAIN!
Sienna Swann: SWEETIE, HE DOES IT A THIRD TIME! AND AGAIN! HE SMASHES HER FACE AGAINST THE WALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
(The cheers of the crowd slowly die down as it seems that something else has snapped inside of Joso. He doesn’t even listen to his body and all the energy he is exerting into this, he continues to smash Bea’s face against the steel grid of the wall, again, again. Again and again and again and again and again and again.)
Referee: (off-mic) Joso, please!
Joso: (off-mic) GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, OR YOU ARE GETTING IT TOO!
(Joso turns and then shouts at the referee, getting in front of his face and forcing him to back away. The camera turns and then focuses on Bea’s face, and it can be clearly seen she has been busted open. The blood from her forehead drips down across her nose and mouth, Bea’s eyelids opening and closing involuntarily, gasping slightly for air.)
Gavin Kirkland: This… monster!!!
Sienna Swann: I am not sure what you were expecting here, Gavin, we said it many times before getting to this point. This was going to end up getting ugly pretty fast.
Deadprez: I have to admit that Sienna is right here. Sadly, this was always where it was going to end up going.
Sienna Swann: He is even shouting at the referee as if he is to blame for his problems, he is just doing his job!
Gavin Kirkland: Well it is Joso’s job to hurt Bea too so… :lupe:
Deadprez: Either way the referee has to back off, Joso grabs Bea by her hair and then pulls her away from the wall… a grin even appears on his face as he sees the blood dripping down from her face. Are you se- HE HITS HER AGAIN WITH HIS FIST AT THE TOP OF HER FOREHEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE CONTINUES TO THROW PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TO BEA’S FOREHEAD! He is trying to get more blood to pour down her face- HE IS EVEN GRABBING HER WITH BOTH OF HIS HANDS AND TRYING TO TEAR THAT WOUND OPEN TO MAKE IT BIGGER! YUCK, DON’T MAKE ME LOOK AT THAT!!!
Deadprez: The booing of the crowd only grows louder! Bea Valentine is forced to grit her teeth and hold back the screams of pain that are forced to come out of her! This is just cruelty in clear display!
Sienna Swann: That is the life of a world champion my dear Deadprez! You can’t complain about the people that are presented towards you or what they are willing to do to be able to cause failure to come your way, you have to stand tall and strong against whatever you have to fight. And the fact that Bea is pushing through it shows that she is not out yet!
Deadprez: And Joso sees this very clearly as he ends up shoving Bea back onto the ground and then backs away. He grabs tightly onto his left arm, feeling the pain come back to it as he feels his anger slowly subside now.
Gavin Kirkland: But I don’t think it has completely disappeared! He grabs onto the weakened Bea and then tries to drag her across the ring here, Bea struggles and tries to throw punches towards his body but they can barely do any damage! Joso throws her towards the middle rope-
Sienna Swann: AND NOW HE STARTS TO CHOKE HER OUT WITH THE ROPES! HE PUSHES HER THROAT DOWN ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND THEN PUTS ALL OF HIS BODY WEIGHT ON TOP OF HER!
Deadprez: Joso still has that grin on his face as he does so, it almost looks like Bea’s eyes are going to bulge out and then jump out from her skull! She is coughing and trying to somehow escape from what Joso is doing to her!
Gavin Kirkland: She is not letting herself give up so easily though! The referee goes to check if she is alright and she shakes her head in defiance. Joso is forced to finally get off of her and then back away! That is my world champion again, baby!
Deadprez: Joso grabs onto his left arm in the process and then tries to figure out what to do next here. Bea slowly rolls over, trying to use the ropes and use them as leverage to help herself up. JUST FOR JOSO TO RUN FORWARD AND THEN KICK HER ON HER RIGHT ARM! Her own hurt arm as well! Bea drops to the mat grabbing onto it.
Sienna Swann: Joso turns though and then… heads towards the corner! He goes to climb up the corner and then get up to the top, does he already want to attempt to climb the cage here?
Deadprez: I know damn well there is something inside of Joso that is telling him to keep going here. He only turns over and then tries to focus on the downed Bea. He wants to go for a highflying move here!
Gavin Kirkland: I think he wants to fly and then drop all of his weight into the hurt arm of Bea! COME ON, MY EMPRESS, DON’T LET THAT EVIL MAN HURT YOU!
Sienna Swann: JOSO-
Deadprez: NO! BEA IS ABLE TO POP UP TO HER FEET AND THEN SWIPE AT JOSO’S FEET! Joso loses his balance and has to go down to the second rope! Even with blood running down Bea’s face, Bea is still getting up! She is still finding ways to stick it up to Joso! She throws strikes onto his face, over and over, trying to wear him down! She wants to hook his arm around her head! SHE WANTS TO GO FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Sienna Swann: That sadly is only happening in the dreams of Bea Valentine, one- PUNCH TO THE RIBS FROM JOSO STOPS HER RIGHT ON HER TRACKS! Bea tries to go again- BUT A SECOND ONE FINALLY FORCES HER TO STOP! She does not have as much energy from the blood that she is losing. Joso pushes her back down onto the ground.
Gavin Kirkland: And yet again he rises to a standing position, looking down at Bea Valentine- HE TRIES TO JUMP AGAIN!
Deadprez: BEA RUSHES FORWARD AND THEN SNATCHES HIM BY HIS LEG- HE PULLS HIM FORWARD!
Sienna Swann: *AND THEN SHE FORCES JOSO TO FALL GROIN FIRST ONTO THE TOP ROPE!!!!*
Gavin Kirkland: NOT THE NEW ERA BALLS!!!!
Deadprez: IT IS NOW THE EYES OF JOSO THAT ARE BUDGING OUT OF HIS HEAD! The crowd is cheering loudly in response as Bea falls back, trying to maintain her balance and then figure out the next step. I don’t think Joso is going to get anywhere stuck like that though!
Sienna Swann: And I also think that Minerva is going to miss out on some good days until that stops hurting for him!
Deadprez: Alright, let’s focus back in! There is clearly something beginning to work inside of Bea’s brain here, and by that look in her eyes, it is not going to be good for Joso nor for her! But I am sure that she has already made up her mind with it! SHE RUNS FORWARD TOWARDS THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HER!
Gavin Kirkland: AS WITH INCREDIBLE ATHLETICISM SHE IS ABLE TO SCALE THEM UP! FROM THE SECOND TO THE THIRD! SHE SNATCHES THE HEAD OF JOSO!!!
Sienna Swann: AND THEN SHE FLIES OFF WITH HIM IN TOW! SHE SMASHES HIM HEARD FIRST AGAINST THE MAT WITH A TOP ROPE DDT! Bea pushes Joso over and then she goes to cover him! Is this enough, sweetie?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: IT IS NOT ENOUGH! JOSO SHOOTS AN ARM UP TO THE DISDAIN OF THE CROWD! Bea is forced to roll to the side and then grab tightly onto the wound on her forehead. It was a good attempt but I don’t even think Bea herself thought that was going to be the move that ended it right there.
Sienna Swann: I would not like to give that kind of man any compliments but Joso is the way that he is because he is resilient, and very stubborn in his ways too! Bea has to channel her own stubbornness and then kick the pretty right off of his face!
Gavin Kirkland: Look, Sienna, I just want to comment that I love when you get angry.
Sienna Swann: …??????
Deadprez: I am just going to completely ignore that, dawg. Bea moves away from Joso, there is a clear frustration shown in her eyes here. She does touch her forehead and notices that blood stopped pouring out of her head. She has to be careful here and not let it open up again.
Gavin Kirkland: Joso’s head got smashed against the mat from that distance and height, I think his brain might have got scrambled right there!
Sienna Swann: He is still moving, sweetie. So he is not completely brain dead just yet. He turns over and tries to get back up- BUT HE GETS A BIT OF HIS OWN MEDICINE HERE! A SOCCER KICK FROM BEA TOWARDS THE LEFT ARM OF JOSO! He crumbles again and then falls onto the mat!
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) You… did this to yourself, Joso. I hope you understand that…
Joso: (off-mic) …Do *you* even understand me?
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) …no. And I would rather not to.
Gavin Kirkland: SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF JOSO! JOSO GETS FOLDED LIKE AN OMELETTE HERE!
Sienna Swann: Bea grabs him by his arm and then tries to lift him up herself! Joso is trying to act as deadweight though, slumping on the mat and preventing Bea from getting him up!
Deadprez: Bea backs away and keeps hold of his arm- AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD TO GO FOR ANOTHER KNEE ATTEMPT!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO ENDS UP CATCHING THAT KNEE THOUGH! HE IS ABLE TO POP HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE WANTS TO THROW HER AGAIN TOWARDS THE STEEL WALL!
Deadprez: BEA VALENTINE FIGHTS THOUGH IN HIS GRASP, SENDING A BARRAGE OF STRIKES TO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! She disorients him long enough for Joso to let go of the grasp he has! Bea is able to slip to the side and then grab him by his hair! SHE FINALLY RUSHES FORWARD WITH HIM!
Sienna Swann: AND SHE FINALLY SMASHES HIS STUPID FACE AGAINST THE STEEL WALL OF THE CAGE! BEA VALENTINE NOW STARTS TO THROW HIS HEAD BACK AND FORTH, SMASHING IT AGAINST THE WALL, AGAIN, AND AGAIN! OVER AND OVER-
Deadprez: NO! JOSO WITH A DESPERATE ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! He is fast enough to be able to throw it just before he can start to feel the effects of the pain! He grabs onto her hair and yet again he tries!
Sienna Swann: *BEA IS FAST ENOUGH TO DIG HER NAILS INTO THE FOREHEAD OF JOSO! SHE SCRATCHES THEM WILDLY ACROSS HIS FOREHEAD*!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DIGS DEEP ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MAKE BLOOD SPROUT FROM THE FOREHEAD! OH MY GAWD!!!!
Deadprez: A GRUESOME SIGHT THAT IS MET WITH LOUD CHEERS, AND NOW A CRIMSON MASK BEGINS TO APPEAR IN JOSO’S FACE! BEA- SMASHES HIS FACE AGAINST THE WALL ONE MORE TIME! She starts to drag it across the view of the people in the front row, she pushes Joso’s face and drags it from the middle of the ropes to the other corner, dragging his face against steel!! She lets go and then lets Joso drop into a seated position! She runs to the other opposite corner as best as she can!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN SHE IS ABLE TO HIT JOSO AGAINST THE CORNER WITH THE- “BEA SWARM”!!!!! THE METEORA AGAINST THE CORNER!!!
Sienna Swann: Bea is taking this into her own hands, but I would like to advise her that she clearly has a chance here to be able to go for an escape attempt- Actually, I think she is listening to me, she is starting to climb the corner- oh no, nevermind.
Deadprez: She is doing the complete opposite of what you are doing, Sienna! She is not climbing to escape! She gets to the top of the corner and then she rises, all while the people in the crowd get up to their feet as well in response! BEA VALENTINE! SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP OF THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: “FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEAAAAAAA”!!!!
Sienna Swann: DAMN IT, I TOLD YOU! JOSO ENDS UP PUTTING HIS KNEES UP IN TIME! BEA ENDS UP CRASHING AGAINST THEM GUT FIRST! She rolls away, grabbing onto her gut in pain!
Deadprez: Joso looks tired after getting hit with that, and with him starting to lose blood too, he is unable to capitalize!
Sienna Swann: I know that the woman wants revenge and all that she wants but the point is that the cage around them is making them act like animals. The two of you are not animals, the whole point is that you have to get out of the cage as fast as you can before the other person mauls you to death! And at this point it seems that the two are going to end up turned into each other’s food!
Gavin Kirkland: I have to agree, Sienna, if I was stuck in the cage with Brad, the guy who got all of the girls in the class and who bullied me in university, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.
Sienna Swann: What???
Deadprez: You got bullied in university?????
Gavin Kirkland: LONG STORY! But anyway! Joso is slowly finding it within himself to get up to his feet, rolling over, slamming the mat in frustration and then glaring towards Bea’s way!
Deadprez: It is a disgusting sight as the blood dripping from both their heads is beginning to cover all of the clean mat. Joso does not focus on that, he slowly rises all while Bea tries to get up to her feet- JOSO RUNS FORWARD!
Sienna Swann: BEA SUDDENLY POPS UP TO HER FEET AND THEN SHE TRIES TO GO FOR A SUDDEN DISCUS LARIAT! TO BE ABLE TO BRING JOSO DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO IS FAST ENOUGH TO BRING UP A LEG AND THEN KICK HER ARM AWAY! He thought he ended up getting the hurt one but Bea used her left arm!
Deadprez: SHE CAN USE HER HEAD THOUGH! SHE DELIVERS A HEADBUTT TO THE CHEST OF JOSO! Joso feels the air escape out of him from how hard Bea hit that! His chest is covered in her blood! Bea turns and then runs to the ropes beside her! She attempts the Tornado DDT- Joso keeps her up in the air! He tries to push her to the steel wall but Bea with her legs she is able to move- SHE USES THEM TO PUSH HERSELF BACK AND SPRINGBOARD!
Sienna Swann: AS SHE BEAUTIFULLY IS ABLE TO REVERSE INTO AN ARM DRAG! SHE BRINGS THE CHALLENGER DOWN AND BEA TRIES TO RUN FORWARD WHILE JOSO IS RISING! SHE ATTEMPTS TO GO FOR A CODE RED!
Deadprez: JOSO SHOVES HER OFF OF HIM JUST BEFORE SHE CAN LAND IT! HE GRABS HER FROM BEHIND! RIPCORD, TURN AROUND! BUT BEFORE JOSO CAN HIT THE RIPCORD BEA HITS HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH A BICYCLE KICK! Joso wobbles on his feet! He does not go down here! BEA WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST! A HOOK RIGHT TO THE JAW! Joso is forced to turn around! Bea falls back against the ropes and then runs forward, jumping onto him, spinning around- TRYING TO GO FOR A HEADSCISSORS!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO SNATCHES BEA BY HER WAIST AND THEN HE SMASHES HER FACE FIRST AGAINST THE MAT! Joso then lifts her up and gets her on his shoulders- what is he- HE RUNS WITH HER IN TOW!
Sienna Swann: OH MY GOD!
Deadprez: *JOSO THROWS HER HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL WALL WITH A LAWN DART!!!* BEA’S NECK ALMOST GETS BROKEN WITH THAT MOVE!
Sienna Swann: She slowly falls and collapses against the ropes that are under her! Joso stumbles over and then falls against the ropes, the two of them are on opposite sides of the ring, but that grin beginning to appear in the face of Joso does not give me a good feeling in any way possible…
Gavin Kirkland: He is slowly crouching down and…
Joso: (off-mic) I truly wonder what Mikey will think about you right now… let’s shout him out and see if he’s watching!
(Joso crouches down and seeing him in that familiar position, the people start to boo loudly.)
Deadprez: JOSO IS IN THE POSITION TO CALL FOR THE “BULLET OF HELL”!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS TRULY DESPICABLE MAN!!!
Sienna Swann: That grin in his face is not wavering a single bit. He is truly going to go for that. The poor Bea Valentine is fully disoriented after she got thrown head first against the wall, she is slowly wobbling back up to her feet with the help of the ropes…
Deadprez: JOSO RUNS FORWARD! FOR THE “BULLET OF HELL”!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS FAST ENOUGH TO REACT AND THEN DELIVER A FOREARM ONTO JOSO!!!
Sienna Swann: NO! BEA WINCES IN PAIN! SHE USED HER HURT RIGHT ARM TO STOP JOSO-
Deadprez: ***”HEAVEN’S GATE”!!!!!!!!***
Gavin Kirkland: SHE COULDN’T PUT ANY FORCE INTO THAT FOREARM, JOSO PUSHED THROUGH THE PAIN AND TOOK BEA DOWN! NOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: JOSO PUSHES BEA OVER AND THEN PINS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! NOT LIKE THIS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: …
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: …
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: …
Referee: …
Sienna Swann: ***BEA VALENTINE KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!!!!!***
Deadprez: THE ROOF HAS JUST ERUPTED IN THE ARENA! BEA VALENTINE HAS KICKED OUT OF THE “HEAVEN’S GATE”!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The people jump up to their feet in shock, the crowd erupts into loud cheers as the camera focuses over on the tired expression on Joso. Even for a few seconds he truly believed those cheers were for him, but no, he looked over at the referee calling that it was a two. The smile on his face disappears, and every bit of anger that is inside of him bursts out at that moment.)
Deadprez: JOSO SUDDENLY GETS UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE COLLAR OF HIS SHIRT!
Joso: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, REF?! THAT SHIT WAS THREE!!!
Referee: (off-mic) Look, I am genuinely sorry Joso, but that was not a three at all! Bea kicked right out at two-
(**SLAP!!!!**)
Sienna Swann: HE JUST SLAPPED THE REFEREE?!
Joso: (off-mic) I am going to tell you again! You better take that back or I will beat you like your mama used to!
Referee: (off-mic) I-I am sorry, genuinely, I really am! But I saw her shoulder go up as I counted! There is no doubt that she kicked out!
Joso: (off-mic) …Wait, for real? My bad on that then, bro. That’s on me.
Referee: (off-mic) Oh! Really?
Joso: (off-mic) HELL NO!
Deadprez: JOSO SUDDENLY SHOVES THE REFEREE TOWARDS THE CORNER- *AND NOW HE STARTS TO BEAT THEIR ASS UP*!
Gavin Kirkland: HE IS JUST STUMPING A MUDHOLE ON THE POOR REFEREE! THEY FALL DOWN AND THEY CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES AT ALL! JOSO HAS LOST IT! CAN’T HE GET DISQUALIFIED?!
Sienna Swann: The match is No DQ, sweetie! They have been tearing each other apart since the bell has rung, of course they can’t get disqualified! And that counts for beating the ref up too! Imagine a DQ right now at this point, we would all be facing a rabid crowd!
Deadprez: Joso finally lets go of the poor referee… just before slapping them once more time!
Gavin Kirkland: That one wasn’t even necessary, dude!
Joso: (off-mic) Yeah, try and talk back to me again, bi-
Sienna Swann: **BEA VALENTINE COMES FROM BEHIND AND THEN SHE KICKS JOSO IN THE BALLS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
(The crowd once more erupts in response, Joso feels his body completely freeze up with pain shooting all over. Bea slowly turns him around as he ends up falling onto his knees. Bea glares down at him and then at the people around her.)
Deadprez: …what is-
Sienna Swann: BEA SUDDENLY STARTS TO PUNCH HERSELF! OVER AND OVER AND OVER! YET AGAIN WITH THE FORCE OF THE BLOWS HER BLOOD STARTS TO FLOW DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: ALL WHILE AFTER SHE DIGS HER OWN NAILS INTO THE FOREHEAD OF JOSO AND MAKES HIS OWN BLOOD FLOW AS WELL DOWN HIS FACE ONCE MORE!
Deadprez: IT IS ALL OUT WAR NOW! BEA FALLS TO THE ROPES BEHIND HER AND THEN BOUNCES OFF THEM! SHE RUNS WITH MOMENTUM!
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO IS ABLE TO POP UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN HE ENDS UP HITTING BEA WITH A PUMP KICK TO THE CHEST! BEA VALENTINE TAKES IT LIKE A CHAMP THOUGH! SHE TRIES TO GO FOR THE HEADBUTT AGAIN!
Sienna Swann: JOSO ENDS UP BLOCKING IT! HE HITS HER WITH A FOREARM WITH HIS RIGHT ARM AND FORCES HER TO TURN OVER! HE LIFTS HER UP HIGH ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN THE ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER POSITION! HE THROWS HER OFF AND TRIES TO GO FOR THE “GRATEFUL DEATH”!!!
Deadprez: NO! BEA LANDS ON HER FEET AND SHE ENDS UP CATCHING HIS KNEE JUST BEFORE HE CAN LAND IT! *SHE SLAPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE AND FORCES HIM TO BACK AWAY!*
Gavin Kirkland: SHE SENDS A BARRAGE OF PALM STRIKES TOWARDS HIS WAY! JOSO TRIES TO COVER HIS HEAD AS SHE FORCES HIM TO THE ROPES- HE PUSHES HER BACK THOUGH! HE TRIES TO GO FOR A ROUNDHOUSE!
Sienna Swann: BEA DUCKS DOWN IN TIME AND JOSO SPINS AROUND WILDLY! BEA WITH THE CHOP- GETS CAUGHT BY JOSO! He pushes her away again! He goes for a punch-
Deadprez: Bea puts up her arms! She dodges the punch, Joso tries to go for another but Bea ends up dodging that one as well! Wait!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS DODGING AND WEAVING BABY!
Sienna Swann: She has her arms up and moves like she is in a boxer stance! She is using boxing skills against Joso!
Gavin Kirkland: Cornelius must have taught her! SHE HITS HIM WITH A ONE TWO GUT PUNCH! JOSO TRIES TO SWING WILDLY!
Deadprez: AND BEA INSTEAD CATCHES HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT TO THE CHIN! JOSO WOBBLES! HE STANDS IN SPAGUETTI LEGS!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA RUSHES FORWARD AND THEN GOES TO HIT HIM WITH THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH!!!
Deadprez: JOSO IS ABLE TO DROP AND THEN DUCK THE PUNCH! BEA ALMOST PUNCHES THE CELL BUT SHE STOPS HERSELF IN HER TRACKS! SHE IS FORCED TO TURN AROUND!
Sienna Swann: JOSO WITH A FOREARM RIGHT TO HER FACE! HE SENDS HER BACK TO THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: *WAIT! JOSO WINCES IN PAIN! HE HIT HER WITH HIS LEFT HURT ARM BY INSTINCT!!!* BEA PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN!
Deadprez: ***”BULLET FROM HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL”!!!!!!!!!!!***
Sienna Swann: SHE GOT IT ALL! BEA WITH HER OWN “BULLET FROM HELL” IS ABLE TO TAKE DOWN JOSO! SHE RISES UP TO HER FEET, THE ENTIRE ARENA FULLY BY HER SIDE! SHE RUSHES TO THE CORNER AND THEN CALLS JOSO TO GET BACK UP! HE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS!!!
Deadprez: SHE RUNS FORWARD WITH ALL HER MIGHT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ***”BEA TRIGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
Deadprez: JOSO CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE MAT, BEA COLLAPSES ON HIM!
Sienna Swann: THE REFEREE IS HURT THOUGH! THEY HAVE TO DRAG THEMSELVES OVER… THEY START TO COUNT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
Referee: …
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

Deadprez: ***JOSO KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!***
(Bea at that moment collapses herself to the side of Joso. The camera slowly moves upwards and shows the mat covered in their dried blood, the two of them barely moving at that point as the two of them stare up at the lights. It is clear there is nothing left else within them at this point.)
Deadprez: What a damn war, dawg…
Sienna Swann: It genuinely looked like Bea Valentine was going to end it all right then and there, but it seems Joso assaulting that referee somewhat ended up helping him out at the end.
Gavin Kirkland: Okay, I have to say that was really smart, but I also want to be angry for Bea being that close… uughh…
Sienna Swann: What side are you even on?!
Gavin Kirkland: I DON’T KNOW, I AM STRESSED RIGHT NOW!!!
(…there is movement between the two. The two of them are somehow lifting themselves up with their arms, trying to find their way towards their knees.)
Deadprez: Wait, the two of them are getting up!
Sienna Swann: BEA VALENTINE THROWS A PUNCH!
Gavin Kirkland: JUST AS JOSO DOES THE SAME!
(The two punches land against one another and yet again they collapse down hard onto the mat. It is clear that the pain is overbearing for the two. They slowly roll over and then keep their eyes focused on one thing only…)
Deadprez: The two of them are looking towards the wall… they are dragging themselves forward across the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: I think the two of them have come to the same conclusion! They barely have anything left!
Sienna Swann: And once more, Sienna ends up being right! I told everyone from the start they needed to take advantage and escape while they could but of course, they didn’t listen to me.
Deadprez: I don’t think they could even hear you in the first place, Sienna! But at least they are finally heading towards it! Joso and Bea know they have nothing left to give so the only choice they have is to go for the escape attempt!
Gavin Kirkland: They are both going to the same wall though, the one that has the door! Bea is able to reach over to the ropes first- BUT JOSO WITH A KICK TO HER SIDES, COME ON, DON’T DO THAT TO HER!
Sienna Swann: Joso tiredly slumps onto the ropes behind him. He grabs onto the steel wall and then he starts to scale it up! He uses the ropes to help himself up and then get to the top rope!
Deadprez: BEA GRABS HIS KNEE AND THEN SLAMS IT ONTO THE METAL GRID WALL! Joso stops in his tracks, all while Bea grabs herself onto the wall and starts to scale it up as well! She is able to get to the top rope too!
Gavin Kirkland: THE TWO ARE SCALING UP THE WALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Sienna Swann: JOSO WITH AN ELBOW! BEA WITH AN ELBOW! THEY STOP SCALING JUST TO BE ABLE TO THROW A STRIKE TO THE OTHER PERSON!
Deadprez: THEY ARE NECK AND NECK AS THEY CONTINUE TO PULL THEMSELVES FORWARD-
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO WITH A KICK TO HER RIBS! NO! *BEA’S LEGS DANGLE IN THE AIR, SHE IS HOLDING ON WITH HER ARMS*!
Sienna Swann: JOSO LIFTS HIS LEG UP AND THEN GOES TO KICK AT BEA’S HANDS!
Deadprez: BUT BEA IS ABLE TO PUT HER FEET BACK ON THE WALL AND PULL HER OTHER HEAD BACK! JOSO IS NOW THE ONE THAT ENDS UP DANGLING- *BEA WITH HER FREE HAND!*
Sienna Swann: **SHE SMASHES JOSO’S HEAD INTO THE WALL!**
Gavin Kirkland: ***AND JOSO ENDS UP LETTING GO, AS HE FALLS AND DROPS BACK FIRST ONTO THE MAT!***
Deadprez: BEA IS THE ONLY ONE CLIMBING NOW! SHE PULLS HERSELF FURTHER AND FURTHER UP!
(The camera shows Bea starting to get closer and closer towards the top, but it switches to Joso… still moving! He didn’t fall too far down from that height, and he took all of the pain with his back! He turns over, slowly laying down in his stomach… and he looks to the referee outside.)
Joso: (off-mic) You… open… the door!
Outside Referee: (off-mic) Huh?
Joso: (off-mic) OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!!!
Outside Referee: (off-mic) OH! I AM GOING!!!
Sienna Swann: Huh? JOSO REQUESTED THE REFEREE OUTSIDE TO GO AND OPEN THE DOOR! HE IS DRAGGING HIMSELF ACROSS THE MAT! HE IS GOING FOR THE DOOR!
Deadprez: THE RACE IS STILL ON! EVEN WITH THAT FALL, JOSO IS NOT GIVING UP! THE RAGE AND JEALOUSY FUELING HIM TO BEAT BEA VALENTINE NO MATTER WHAT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS ABLE TO GET TOWARDS THE TOP! COME ON, BEA, GOOOOOOOOO!!!
(The referee on the outside is panicking while trying to unlock the door, but a second referee moves over to help him, and quickly, the door is open!)
Deadprez: THE DOOR IS OPEN RIGHT NOW! JOSO HAS HIS ESCAPE ATTEMPT HERE! HE IS DIGGING HIS NAILS INTO THE MAT AND PUSHING HIMSELF FORWARD! HE GOES AWAY FROM THE MIDDLE AND GETS CLOSER TO THE DOORWAY!
Sienna Swann: BEA REACHES THE TOP OF THE CAGE! SHE SLOWLY STEPS OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: JUMP NOW, BEA!
Sienna Swann: ARE YOU DUMB, SWEETIE?! SHE IS GOING TO BREAK HER LEGS IF SHE JUMPS FROM THAT HEIGHT! SHE STILL HAS TO CLIMB DOWN!
(Bea pushes through the pain she is feeling all over her body, slowly stepping over the top and beginning to grab onto the wall from the outside, starting to climb the outside, but she is so far from the ground, all while Joso…)
Deadprez: JOSO IS JUST A FEW FEET AWAY FROM GETTING THERE!
Sienna Swann: HE DRAGS HIMSELF FORWARD ONE MORE TIME! HE ONLY NEEDS ONE MORE PUSH!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: *JOSO PUSHES HIMSELF TOWARDS THE DOORWAY! HE IS GOING TO WIN!*
(…)

Second Outside Referee: Ah, one more thing before all of this is done. Mr. Joso?
(Joso turns his head mid push, hearing the voice… and his eyes widen.)
Joso: (off-mic) …what…?
Cornelius: (off-mic) You should have never messed with Madam Bea.
Deadprez: IT IS CORNELIUS!!!!
Sienna Swann: HE ENDED UP DRESSING AS ONE OF THE REFEREES ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: YEEEEESSSS!!!
Deadprez: HE SUDDENLY BACKS AWAY AND THEN STRETCHES HIS ARMS!!!
Sienna Swann: *BEA DROPS OFF OF THE STEEL CAGE WALL!*
Gavin Kirkland: **CORNELIUS CATCHES HER IN HIS ARMS!!!!!**
Deadprez: CORNELIUS SPINS HER AROUND!
Sienna Swann: **JOSO MAKES A DESPERATE LEAP FORWARD THROUGH THE DOORWAY TO ESCAPE!!!**
Deadprez: ***CORNELIUS SPINS BEA TOWARDS THE DOOR AND SHE KICKS IT RIGHT AGAINST THE HEAD OF JOSO, CLOSING THE DOOR AGAINST HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
(Cornelius stops spinning her around and slowly comes to a standstill. He gracefully sets Bea down on both of her feet…)
(All while Bea makes a bow to the audience, both feet on the ground.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Gloria” plays on the speakers to a huge wave of loud cheers. Bea keeps herself bowed but she quickly collapses from exhaustion, just before she can fall to the ground, Cornelius catches her by the wrist, he helps her back up and then raises her arm up to the sky, victory finally achieved.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL, ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIOOOON, BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: BEA HAS DONE IT! BEA HAS ACHIEVED HER VENGEANCE AGAINST JOSO AND RETAINED HER CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I AM ON MY FEET RIGHT NOW, TEARS IN MY EYES! WHAT A PERFORMANCE, BRAVOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Sienna Swann: A true war was given from both sides right there, I did not like having to deal with that stress because they stupidly tried to kill themselves inside there, but despite bad blood brewing between the both of them, they showed how bloody yet how spectacular wrestling can get! But all it took at the end was Bea taking an extra step, outsmarting Joso and vanquishing him once and for all!
Deadprez: You are right, these two wrestlers have been the future of EAW for quite a while now, and there is no doubt they will become the present, if they are not that present right now! I have a feeling this thing won’t end so easily between them but Bea can proudly say that tonight, she is still the Answers World Champion! Congrats to her!
(The door opens back up as medical personnel rushes to go and check up on the barely conscious after he got that door smashed against his head. Some stay to accompany Bea as the referee hands her the championship and Cornelius helps her along. Bea hugs tightly onto her friend as he helps her along. Once they are close to the ramp, Cornelius helps her onto his shoulders and then lifts her up. The crowd cheers louder as Bea, very much out of it, still has enough energy to lift the championship up in the air.)
(Bea Valentine holds a smile full of pride and satisfaction, a small sense of relief washing over her. Tonight, the dream that she has been chasing for so long… continues to dream on. She poses with pride, throwing a kiss towards the crowd all while she keeps her championship held up in the air, a victorious smile on her face.)
(The camera lingers on Cornelius and Bea Valentine, the two of them celebrating with the victory they achieved tonight, together, Joso is on his knees seething, knowing that this will not be the end of his pursuit but only the start of it as Midsummer Massacre slowly fades away to black…)
