(EAW intro plays.)
(After the intro plays, the camera cuts to the arena, where the fans are fully in attendance for the pre-show. Several angles show off the enthusiastic crowd before the shot fades onto the commentary team.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for WAR! Welcome everyone to the pre-show for TERRITORIAL INVASION! I am Stew-O, coming from Dynasty, and with me are Gavin Kirkland of Showdown and Persephone of Voltage.
Persephone: Ew, why you had to announce us like that? ‘Persephone of Voltage’?
Gavin Kirkland: Well, I quite like it, especially when soon enough, the New Breed Championship will be with Showdown.
Stew-O: I wouldn’t go that far already, but we have three matches on the pre-show for the next hour, and all of them are can’t miss! Speaking of: we will have the New Breed title up first! Anna Wautier defends against Wynter Kuroyami, and both ladies will kick it off for us right now!
(The graphics for the first match appear)
EAW: The camera pans back from commercial and to Stephie Love inside of the ring, microphone lifted up to her mouth…
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW NEEEEEEW BREEEEEEEEEED CHAAAAAAMPIONSHIP!
(‘Phantasmagory’ by Denkare starts to echo around the arena, Wynter Kuroyami immediately making her way out. She starts slowly making her way down to an assortment of boos throughout The Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. She flings her arms around, mocking them as she walks down the entrance ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first…… THE CHALLENGER! From Kanagawa, Japan… Weighing in at 129 pounds… SHE IS “THE CENTER OF THE VOID”! WYYYYYNTERRR KUUUUROOOOOOYAAAAAMI!
(Wynter Kuroyami climbs up the ring apron, entering the ring and making her way into her corner. She stands there, waiting for her opponent.)
(‘DIVE in LIVE’ by YOLOZ starts blasting throughout the arena as the fans in attendance rise for Anna Wautier! Anna makes her way out, a smile on her face and The EAW New Breed Championship strapped around her waist! She makes her way down the entrance ramp, sliding up onto the ring apron, pointing at the fans in attendance as they cheered her on!)
Stephie Love: And her opponent…… THE CHAMPION! From Yokohama, Japan… Weighing in at 142 pounds…. SHE IS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION… “THE THORN PRINCESS”, ANNNNA WAAAAUTIIIIIER!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: Two competitors aiming for the same goal, looking to walk out of Territorial Invasion with the same championship, and aiming to bring immense pride to themselves as well as their brands here!
Jake Mercer: Anna representing our home Dynasty and Wynter representing Showdown, both trying to take The New Breed Championship back home!
Flannery McCoy: Anna and Wynter have got themselves in a bit of a staring contest right now! They’ve slowly begun creeping closer and closer to one another, closing the gap between themselves…
Stew-O: HERE WE GO! Collar-And-Elbow Tie Up engaged between the champion and challenger! Anna is attempting to push Wynter back, but Wynter is refusing to give in that easily!
Jake Mercer: Wautier swiftly slipping behind Kurayami, pulling her in with a rear waist lock, keeping her in place! Kurayami is trying to fight back, but Wautier has begun to lift her off of the ground, LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX HERE?!
Flannery McCoy: But she can’t do it! Wynter pushes her weight down, keeping herself grounded! Wynter shoots the arm back, firing a back elbow right into the face of Anna Wautier, looking to force a release out of the champion… But that isn’t enough to make Anna release that grip!
Stew-O: Maybe not, Flannery — but that certainly isn’t the extent of Wynter’s attempts! Wynter swings the left arm back, wrapping it around Anna’s head and driving her down to the mat, successfully pulling her down with a headlock takedown! The tides have turned in the favor of Wynter Kurayami!
Jake Mercer: Wynter has that headlock applied, keeping The New Breed Champion grounded is a smart play, but knowing how these two operate? I’m not sure how long it’ll stay a smart play.
Flannery McCoy: You might just be right there, Jake! Anna is beginning to flail around, attempting to squeeze her way out of Wynter’s arms… But it seems like Wynter refuses to let go of the tight grip she has on the champion! Wynter begins wrenching that headlock, trying to take total control of this match!
Stew-O: If that’s Wynter’s game, then she’s certainly playing it right! Right now, Wynter has Anna pinned to the ground, refusing to let go! Wynter has control, but Anna has started fighting it! Anna drives a palm strike into the spine of Kurayami, looking to create some leverage!
Jake Mercer: Wynter was most definitely affected by that palm strike, but she still refuses to let go! She’s trying to restrict as much oxygen from the champion as possible! Wynter continues to wrench that headlock, forcing the champion to dawn a bit of an unpleasant face here!
Flannery McCoy: Despite that… Anna reels back, rolling Wynter’s shoulders on the mat! She could steal it here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: NOT ENOUGH! Wynter rolls back into position, keeping that headlock on the champion nice and tight!
Jake Mercer: …Not for long! Anna lifts her legs up, grabbing Wynter and pulling her down with a headscissors takedown!
Flannery McCoy: However, as soon as Wynter is taken down, she rolls around, clutching the legs and flipping herself over – right on top of the champion! Wynter has Anna’s shoulders pressed against the mat once again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWW—
Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE! ANNA… IS DEADLIFTING WYNTER UP, BREAKING THE JACK KNIFE ROLL-UP!! WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF STRENGTH!
Jake Mercer: Anna maneuvering her way around, pulling Wynter in between her legs, lifting her up onto her shoulders… THINKING OF A POWERBOMB?!
Flannery McCoy: No! Wynter slips off of Anna’s shoulders, quickly lunging forward with a European Uppercut! Anna staggering back, Wynter dashing to the ropes!
Stew-O: Wynter coming back hot, looking for a clothesline– NO! ANNA CAUGHT THE ARM! ANNA MANEUVERS THE CHALLENGER AROUND, GETTING BEHIND HER AND PULLING WYNTER DOWN, PUSHING HER ONTO THE MAT WITH A BACKSLIDE ROLL-UP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: Wynter frantically kicks out, pushing herself off of Anna and back onto her knees–
Flannery McCoy: –ANNA QUICKLY SHOOTS UP, SWINGING FOR A BUZZSAW KICK TO THE CHALLENGER’S JAW!
Stew-O: SWING AND A MISS! WYNTER DUCKED UNDER THE BOOT!
Jake Mercer: Anna seems to be off-balance, WYNTER TAKES ADVANTAGE, SWEEPING HER FROM UNDERNEATH AND TOSSING HER BODY ON TOP OF ANNA’S, COVERING HER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: ANNA SWIFTLY KICKS OUT! Wynter shoots up to her feet, Anna quickly gets up! Both women turn to one another, swinging wildly at the same time… AND KNOCKING ONE ANOTHER BACK!
Stew-O: Anna staggers back! Wynter staggers back! Anna is the first one to rush forward, looking for another Clothesline… But Wynter moves out of the way, sending Anna into the ropes!
Jake Mercer: Anna rebounds, this time it’s Wynter looking for the Clothesline!
Flannery McCoy: Anna ducks beneath the arm, running to the opposite set of ropes, rebounding in Wynter’s direction once again!
Stew-O: Wynter drops down, looking to trip Anna over… But Anna hops right over the grounded Wynter! She runs off of the ropes once again, Wynter shooting up to her feet, looking to leapfrog over Anna—
Jake Mercer: —BUT ANNA CATCHES HER MID-AIR, LAUNCHING HER BACK WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM! BRIDGE APPLIED!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: NOT ENOUGH! THE CHALLENGER STAYS ALIVE WITH A KICKOUT!
Stew-O: Anna lets go of the pinfall and Wynter immediately rolls out of the ring, possibly taking a timeout after all that!
Jake Mercer: These two are matching one another’s pace, absolutely refusing to give the other competitor an inch… But from where I’m sitting? I’d argue that it’s Anna Wautier who managed to get the upperhand with that impressive fallaway slam!
Flannery McCoy: That’s true, Jake. Anna seems to have the upperhand, seeing as Wynter just rolled out of the ring to think things over… It looks like those observations that Anna made the other week when Wynter tapped out Triple X World Heavyweight Champion Brickhouse is starting to pay off!
Stew-O: Maybe so, Flannery. Anna takes a few steps back from the ropes, giving Wynter the space she’s looking for… Wynter slowly slides back into the ring, keeping her eyes on the champion…
Jake Mercer: Wynter gets back to her feet as Anna starts creeping in… AND HERE WE GO! RIGHT BACK TO THE COLLAR-AND-ELBOW TIE UP!
Flannery McCoy: Anna and Wynter start to push each other around once again – Wynter swiftly slipping behind Anna and placing her in a rear waist lock! Anna is trying to break free, but Wynter keeps the clutches applied.. ANNA FIRES A BACK ELBOW INTO THE BRIDGE OF WYNTER’S NOSE!
Stew-O: That elbow might’ve done a number on the challenger!
Jake Mercer: The grip is broken and Anna immediately maneuvers her way behind Wynter, grabbing her by the waist and lifting her off of the ground… Looking for a German Suplex!—
Flannery McCoy: —WYNTER PUSHES HER LEGS BACK AND WRAPS IT AROUND ANNA’S WAIST, PUSHING HERSELF DOWN WITH A WHEELBARROW ROLL-UP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: ……….ANNA PUSHES HERSELF BACK, DEADLIFTING WYNTER WITH A WHEELBARROW OF HER OWN, IMMEDIATELY PLANTING THE CHALLENGER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BRIDGE APPLIED!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: WYNTER KICKS OUT! Yet another impressive counter from the champion, I’m not sure if Wynter should continue playing this kind of game with her!
Flannery McCoy: I agree! Anna has been showing time and time again, she’s going to meet Wynter at every single turn she makes! That back elbow seemed to have rattled Wynter a bit, but she was able to recover from that… Now? I’m not too sure! The bridge on the wheelbarrow roll-up wasn’t too strong, I’d say that back elbow was the reason for that.
Stew-O: I think you’re correct, Flannery… Now that I take a closer look, Wynter is BLEEDING from her nose! That back elbow might have been a piece of what decides this match entirely!
Jake Mercer: I want to believe you, Stew… But…
( Wynter rises up to her knees, wiping the blood from her nose and giving an eerie smile at the sight of her own blood… She tilts her gaze back up to Anna, not backing down a bit. Wynter rises up to her feet, telling Anna to bring it with a wide grin on her face! )
Flannery McCoy: Something isn’t right with Wynter, I’ll be the first to say it tonight…
Stew-O: BUT ANNA REFUSES TO GIVE INTO HER MINDGAMES, IMMEDIATELY CHARGING WYNTER WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT!
Jake Mercer: ….WYNTER ROLLS UNDER THE BOOT, QUICKLY RISING UP BEHIND THE CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: WYNTER PULLS ANNA BY THE SHOULDERS, LEAPING UP–
Stew-O: –POISONRANA SPIKES THE CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: Anna gets spiked and pops right onto her feet, wobbling around on spaghetti legs! The challenger gets right back onto her feet, turning towards the champion…
Flannery McCoy: ‘FOUNDATION OF DECAY’!!!! THE RUNNING BICYCLE KICK CLOCKS ANNA RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
Stew-O: ANNA FALLS BACK, RIGHT THROUGH THE ROPES AND SPLATTERS AT RINGSIDE! THAT COULD’VE BEEN A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR WYNTER KUROYAMI IN THIS MATCH, BUT IT SEEMS THAT OPPORTUNITY WAS JUST LOST!
Jake Mercer: I don’t believe Wynter wanted to end the match there, Stew! I believe that Running Bicycle Kick was just a message of supremacy sent to The Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Either way, Anna Wautier is down and out at ringside! If Wynter doesn’t get her back into the ring, she cannot become The New Breed Champion!
Stew-O: Wynter rolls out of the ring and starts dragging Anna Wautier back to her feet, not a single good intention on her mind…
Jake Mercer: WYNTER SLAMS ANNA INTO THE RING APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Anna immediately drops down onto a single knee, still feeling the effects of that Running Bicycle Kick – it seems to me that Wynter laid the groundwork for her ticket to The New Breed Championship!
Stew-O: Wynter not stopping there, however. She grabs Anna by her hair, dragging her from the ring post and SLAMMING HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Kuroyami is showing no mercy and it doesn’t seem like she has any intention of showing any!
Jake Mercer: That’s not the type of woman Wynter Kuroyami is! She’s not here to give mercy to her opponent, she’s here to get in their head and bring herself a championship like The New Breed Championship home!
Flannery McCoy: Wynter drags Anna’s body off of the hard, cold steel and starts… walking up the steps with Anna in hand? What’s coursing through the mind of the challenger?!
Stew-O: Nothing good I’d imagine.
Jake Mercer: Wait a second… WYNTER HAS ANNA HOOKED BY HER HEAD AND HER ARM, RIGHT OVER THE STEEL STEPS…
Flannery McCoy: WYNTER LIFTS ANNA INTO THE AIR…
Stew-O: ‘HORROR QUEEN’ BRAINBUSTER INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: NO!!!! ANNA MANAGES TO MANEUVER HER BODY AROUND AND SEND WYNTER CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE STEEL STEPS WITH AN INVERTED DDT!!!! WYNTER’S BACK MEETS THE COLD STEEL INSTEAD!
Flannery McCoy: The champion just narrowly evaded what may have been an extremely grim fate and possibly the end of her New Breed Championship reign!
Stew-O: Wynter is laid flat on the steel steps and Anna is down right beside her on the ground! The count continues, but Anna is starting to show signs of life!
Jake Mercer: Anna pulls herself up and drags Wynter off of the steps, rolling her into the ring and rolling in herself! Anna hooks the leg! To retain The New Breed Championship!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: WYNTER GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Anna rolls off of Wynter, pushing herself into the corner, trying to think of what may be next! What can she do to put down The Center Of The Void!
Stew-O: She’s going to have to do a lot more it seems, Flannery! The average person might’ve been out like a light after being driven into the steel steps with an Inverted DDT, but Wynter managed to kick out of it and show signs of life!
Jake Mercer: Even if you take into account the brief intermission between the pinfall and the maneuver, I think you’re right. No normal person could take something like that and still fight any longer!
Flannery McCoy: Wynter is starting to push herself up and Anna is beginning to pull herself up using the ropes… Wynter is back to her feet and Anna is quick to meet her with a Forearm Smash straight to the jaw!
Stew-O: Wynter staggers back, but Anna keeps her in place, hitting her with another one!
Jake Mercer: ANNA HAS BEGUN WAILING OFF ON WYNTER, FIRING MULTIPLE FOREARM SMASHES STRAIGHT INTO THE CHALLENGER’S JAW!
Flannery McCoy: Kuroyami is staggering, seemingly struggling to stay on her feet…! WAUTIER RUNS OFF OF THE ROPES, CHARGING AT THE CENTER OF THE VOID, LOOKING FOR—
Stew-O: —LARIAT FROM KUROYAMI!
Jake Mercer: …….BUT ANNA CATCHES THE ARM, MANEUVERING AROUND WITH IT CLUTCHED, FLIPPING IT ONTO HER SHOULDER!
Flannery McCoy: ‘LUUUUUUUUMINARRRY’ BACKDROP SUUUUUPLEX!!!! WYNTER’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! TO RETAIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: TTTTT—!
Stew-O: WYNTER POPS THE SHOULDER WITH HER FREE ARM—
Jake Mercer: —ANNA GRABS HER BY THE ARM, SHOOTING UP TO HER FEET AND KICKING WYNTER ONTO HER STOMACH!
Flannery McCoy: ANNA WRAPS THE ARM AROUND HER LEG, TRAPPING WYNTER… SHE GRABS THE OTHER ARM – WYNTER TRYING TO KEEP IT DOWN, SHE KNOWS WHAT’S COMING!
Stew-O: BUT WYNTER’S RESISTANCE PROVES TO BE FUTILE! ANNA PULLS THE ARM BACK! OH NO!
Jake Mercer: ‘HANAYOME NO TANSU’!!!!! THE INVERTED ARMBREAKER MAY HAVE JUST SNAPPED WYNTER’S ARM ENTIRELY! HOLY COW!
Flannery McCoy: WYNTER IS FRANTICALLY ROLLING AROUND… THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR THE CHALLENGER! NOT AT ALL!
Stew-O: THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR WYNTER! THAT ARM JUST MIGHT BE USELESS FOR THE REST OF THE MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Tremendously smart play on Anna’s end, taking that arm out and potentially limiting Wynter’s entire moveset here… But for Wynter? This is a bad sign for what could’ve been a huge victory under her belt.
Flannery McCoy: I wouldn’t rule her out just yet, Jake! Wynter’s arm may have been placed in jeopardy here, but I don’t think that automatically means Anna has taken the cake! Anna still needs to capitalize off of this!
Stew-O: I think Anna is about to do just that! She’s calling for Wynter to stand up, and Wynter has begun to cling to the ropes with her right arm, the arm that was not targeted by that inverted armbreaker!
Jake Mercer: Wynter is pulling herself up to her feet, trying to keep herself in the game… OH! ANNA COMES IN WITH A RUNNING BOOT STRAIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF WYNTER’S HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Wynter must be seeing stars, here! Anna pulls the challenger back, putting her just mere inches away from the turnbuckles… Anna lets go of Wynter, quickly dashing towards the corner and leaping up to the second turnbuckle! ANNA LEAPS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: ‘BELLE PAPILLON’!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD REVERSE HURRICANRANA SPIKES THE CHALLENGER! THIS IS IT! THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT! ANNA ROLLS THE CHALLENGER OVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRR—
Jake Mercer: WYNTER FINDS A WAY TO KICK OUT! THE CHALLENGER IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t believe it! Even after that nasty armbreaker, even after that reverse hurricanrana, even after the fact that Anna seems to be pulling out all of the stops tonight… Wynter Kuroyami is still finding it in her to kick out! I can’t say I’m not impressed, ladies and gentlemen.
Stew-O: Understandable, Wynter is giving a good performance… But it appears that Anna plans for that to be the extent of her performance! Wautier is back on her feet, beginning to clap her hands, trying to get Kuroyami back onto her feet!
Jake Mercer: Once again, Wynter is forced to use the ropes with her right arm to pull herself up – that arm might have been damaged far too much for her to even think about doing anything with it.
Flannery McCoy: Wynter is back on her feet, ANNA LOOKING TO TURN HER AROUND— NO! WYNTER ROLLS OUT OF THE RING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY!
Stew-O: Anna pushing herself up, shaking her head with disappointment. It seems to me that Wynter’s arm is bothering her a bit there, she might have to get that checked before something bad happens even further…
Jake Mercer: …IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE’S GOING TO GET ENOUGH TIME TO, STEW!
Flannery McCoy: ANNA WAUTIER WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, SENDING WYNTER FLYING STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: Wynter slumping down to the ground, but Anna is ready to wrap this up! She drags Wynter up to her feet, immediately sliding her back inside… Anna crawls back into the ring, pulling Wynter away from the ropes, CLUTCHING THAT ARM… AND PUTTING HER INTO A FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! FUJIWARA ARMBAR HAS BEEN LOCKED IN RIGHT!
Jake Mercer: NOT GOOD! Wynter is flailing the opposite arm around, trying to grab onto the ropes, trying to grab onto anything! Anna is taking advantage of that arm, and she’s looking to put the final nails in Wynter’s coffin!
Flannery McCoy: Kuroyami refuses to let things end here! She’s trying to push herself up onto her knees, but Anna just brings her back down, wrenching that arm further back! Wynter continues reaching for the ropes, but I’m not sure she’s close enough to grab them!
Stew-O: Anna continuing to wrench, Wynter continuing to suffer— WAIT! WYNTER MANAGES ROLL SIDEWAYS, TAKING ANNA WITH HER AND ROLLING HER UP! TO STEAL THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!—
Jake Mercer: ANNA FRANTICALLY KICKS OUT, WYNTER NEARLY HAD IT THERE!
Flannery McCoy: ANNA ROLLS BACK ONTO HER FEET, WYNTER PUSHING HERSELF BACK UP USING ONE ARM! ANNA DASHES AT WYNTER–
Stew-O: ‘FOUNDATION OF DECAY’!!!
Jake Mercer: …IS EVADED BY ANNA WAUTIER! SHE SLIPS BEHIND WYNTER, PULLING HER INTO HER SIDE!
Flannery McCoy: ‘MODERN TRAGEDY’!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: KUROYAMI IS DUMPED RIGHT ONTO HER HEAD! THAT’S IT! THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE!
Jake Mercer: ANNA PULLS THE LEGS ALL THE WAY BACK!! TO RETAIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: WYNTER GOT HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE—
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: WHAT?!
Jake Mercer: WHAT?!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT?!
(‘DIVE in LIVE’ by YOLOZ hits the speakers and Anna Wautier rolls off of Wynter, the removal of her weight causes Wynter’s leg to fall off of the bottom rope… The referee hadn’t seen it, and likely never will. Anna crawls onto her knees and is handed The New Breed Championship)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…….. AND STIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION…. ANNA WAUUUUUTIER!
Stew-O: Despite the controversial fashion of this victory… Anna Wautier is STILL your New Breed Champion.
Jake Mercer: A hard fought victory with a controversial finish, but I doubt Anna had anything to do with it. Simply put, it’s on the referee, not on Anna.
Flannery McCoy: A good effort from Wynter, and who knows – had Anna been positioned any differently, the referee might have spotted Wynter’s foot on the bottom rope and we might have even saw a change in the New Breed Championship lineage.
(Wynter rolled out the ring, clutching her arm on the ground, feeling extremely unsatisfied… And yet, that smile still remained on her face. Anna gets to her feet, lifting The New Breed Championship into the air as Territorial Invasion cuts to commercial.)
(After the commercial break, Territorial Invasion returns as the next match graphic is displayed.)
(https://imgur.com/8QynsCE)
(The camera shot returns to the ringside area where we see numerous ladders around the ring before focusing on the ring the competitors will be trying to grab above the ring before finally focusing on Gina Romano, who is standing in the center of the ring ready to begin the introductions for the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the special FUTURES LADDER MATCH!
Crowd: AORGAORIGAORGHAROGHOARGHARGH!
Gina Romano: In this match, the first competitor to climb the ladder and grab the hanging ring will be VICTORIOUS!!
(As “Ego” by The Warning begins to play in the arena, Yasmina appears. With a serious expression, she stops at the top of the ramp, glancing to one side and then slowly looking the other way. She looks down, makes a gesture with her hand and, after murmuring a few words, points to the sky; she then lowers her hand and points towards the ring. Then pyrotechnics explode behind her and, before she takes her first step onto the ramp, the arena is bathed in red. She walks slowly, never taking her eyes off the ring, paying little heed to the audience.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From Ponce, Puerto Rico! Weighing 129 pounds. Here is “THE BORICUA BLUE-BLOOD” YASMINA!
Deadprez: Here comes the very spirited Yasmina heading to the ring for her major event debut here in EAW. Tonight, she has a chance to make a big statement with a victory here.
Gavin Kirkland: Yasmina has said she has been through some hard times. If she pulls off the win here, hopefully Yasmina will be experiencing some good times. She says she has been climbing ladders her entire life, so what is one more. But this one could get her one step closer to gold.
(As she climbs the metal steps, she gives a quick kiss to a tattoo on her wrist bearing her mother’s name. Yasmina then enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as ‘God is a Woman’ by Ariana Grande starts to play as Sofia Drakos is driven out by a Gold Chariot, Sofia wears a big golden crown on her head, slowly, she steps out the chariot as her “servants” lift the back of her robe as she makes her way in the ring)
Gina Romano: Introducing the opponents! From Mount Olympus, Greece. Weighing 185 pounds! Here is “GODDESS” SOFIA DRAKOS!
Sienna Swann: Sweeties, here is perhaps the strongest competitor in the match. Sofia Drakos is a take no prisoners type of person and she will take no issue causing bodily harm in any match she is in.
Deadprez: Sofia made her MLE debut at Midsummer Massacre which unfortunately didn’t go her way, so the powerhouse is looking to change her fortune as she climbs the ladder of success to win this match.
(Once inside, her servants take off the robe for her, and after handing her crown to them she shows off her powerful physique before settling in the corner. Once she is in her corner, we hear ‘Episode X’ by Ado starting to play as Airi Miyamune enters the arena. She takes a look down the ramp to see the environment she is about to enter before she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: From Mimasaka, Okayama, Japan! Weighing 111 pounds. Here is “THE WOMAN OF NITEN ICHI-RYŪ” AIRI MIYAMUNE!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Airi Miyamune heading to the ring and she looks ready for battle and ready for whatever this match is going to bring.
Sienna Swann: From learning the swordmanship style of Niten Ichi-ryu to the ring of Elite Answers Wrestling here tonight. She’s determined. She’s confident. But will that translate to a victory in this ladder match?
(Airi enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as she look up towards the prize hanging above the ring as The arena goes dark. The pulsating childish jingles sounds of the theme begin to play as the words begin to ring….)
(“Pins & Needles” by Birthday Massacre plays throughout the arena as Circe slowly walks out wearing a doll face mask, tilting her head and looks around before slowly taking it off as she smirks to the crowd and giggles a little. Her long silver hair with black streaks hangs down over her shoulders, holding her large mallet before heading to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing the final participant. From Coyote Flats, Texas. Weighing 115 pounds! Here is “THE PRETTY LITTLE DEVIL” CIRCE!
Sienna Swann: Here is perhaps the most deranged and vicious member of the match, Sweetie. Circe can be very dangerous when given the chance, especially with what we saw at Pain for Pride.
Deadprez: Circe isn’t exactly thrilled to be in this match, but she said if an opportunity is lying in wait, she is going to take it. We know very well that Circe can get the job done. The question is which lady will win this ladder match. We are about to find out, dawg!
(She stops to look around for a bit at the fans and rubs her fingers across their faces before slowly sliding into the ring. She spreads her arms out in the middle of the ring and looks over at the referee, smiles and winks at him gesturing for him to help her take off the leather jacket which they do, she then turns, smiles and winks at him, and even licks her lips. Afterwards, she lays across the bottom rope in the corner while she hangs the doll mask from the corner post. Circe’s music fades off and the lights come on as the referee looks at all four competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Sienna Swann: Here we go! This ladder match is underway. Sweetie, Gina Romano mentioned that the first lady to climb the ladder and retrieve the ring will win the match. What she didn’t mention was that the winner of the match will receive a future Specialists Championship match. Extra incentive to win in this match.
Deadprez: All four women are being more on the cautious side in the opening moments of this match because they all realize it’s not going to be easy to neutralize three opponents so they can climb the ladder.
Gavin Kirkland: Caution has just been thrown to the wind AS YASMINA AND AIRI START TO DOUBLE TEAM THE POWERHOUSE SOFIA! NO FRIENDS HERE JUST TEMPORARY ALLIES! THEY ARE GOING AFTER WHO THEY SEE AS THE BIGGEST THREAT IN THE MATCH!
Deadprez: In terms of size and strength, she certainly might be, but look at Circe. Circe is just looking at them like they are all stupid and just letting them fight.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, that might be the smartest strategy at the moment. Because while the other three are fighting… more like Sofia is fighting off Yasmina and Airi as Circe is rolling outside the ring and she goes right for one of the ladders.
Gavin Kirkland: That ladder might weigh as much as she does as she drags it into the ring and works to try and set it up. Poor girl. It took her a bit, but the ladder is standing AND CIRCE STARTING HER CLIMB!
Sienna Swann: CIRCE IS WANTING TO END THE MATCH QUICK AND END THE MATCH HERE! CIRCE IS ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE LADDER–
Deadprez: THE OTHER THREE IMMEDIATELY NOTICE AND TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO CIRCE AS SOFIA JUST YANKS CIRCE OFF THE LADDER WITH EASE AND SOFIA HAS CIRCE IN THE MILITARY PRESS!
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA IS JUST LIFTING HER UP AND DOWN LIKE SHE IS USING CIRCE AS PART OF A SET AS SOFIA WALKS CIRCE OVER TO THE ROPES–
Sienna Swann: SWEETIE, SOFIA JUST TOSSED CIRCE OUT OF THE RING AND SENDING HER CRASHING ONTO ONE OF THE LADDERS ON THE OUTSIDE! THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING!
Deadprez: Well that is one way to take a competitor out of the equation for now as Sofia looks down at her first fallen victim for the moment–
Gavin Kirkland: YASMINA AND AIRI WITH A DOUBLE DROPKICK CATCHING SOFIA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! THE FORCE WAS ENOUGH TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Another person taken out of the equation for now as we are left with the new MLE rookies ready to square up. Yasmina kisses her wrist AS SHE AND AIRI GET RIGHT TO WORK!
Sienna Swann: Forearms being thrown between these two as Yasmina starts to get the better of Airi WITH A BACKHAND CHOP TO THE NECK! GOOD GRIEF!
Gavin Kirkland: That turns the tide in Yasmina’s favor AS SHE FOLLOWS UP WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST TO AIRI’S HEAD! THAT CERTAINLY DAZES AIRI!
Sienna Swann: Airi was knocked for a loop after that shot as YASMINA CLOBBERS AIRI DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Deadprez: Yasmina is the only one standing at the moment and the ladder is still standing as Yasmina looks to her wrist and to the sky as she makes the climb for the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: This could be Yasmina’s moment right here as she is making her way up the ladder BUT AIRI MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE CLOBBERS YASMINA IN THE SPINE!
Sienna Swann: Airi halts Yasmina for the moment as she climbs onto the same side of the ladder AND IS TRYING TO PULL YASMINA OFF WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX–
Deadprez: YASMINA IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AS SHE IS TRYING TO STAY ON THE LADDER AND CONTINUE THE CLIMB–
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA IS BACK IN THE RING AND SHE LOOKS PISSED!
Deadprez: Yasmina and Airi don’t even see Sofia stalking towards them, BUT THEY DO NOW AS SOFIA GRABS THE BOTH AROUND THE WAIST AND PULLS THEM OFF THE LADDER–
Sienna Swann: OH MY GAWD! SWEETIE, THAT IS A DOUBLE OVERHEAD BACKBREAKER! THIS SOFIA IS SCARY POWERFUL AND HAS TO BE GRACED WITH STRENGTH FROM THE GODS OR SOMETHING!
Gavin Kirkland: This is terrifying yet also exciting at the same time to watch. I am getting thoughts.
Sienna Swann: Keep those thoughts to yourself as Sofia walks the both away from the ladder–
Deadprez: SOFIA DROPS TO HER KNEES AND GIVE NEW MEANING TO AN OVERHEAD BACKBREAKER AS SHE DROPS THEM BOTH WITH AIRI TAKING THE WORST OF IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Call it what you want, but both the EAW newcomers are down and Sofia has an easy trip to the top of the ladder as she is the only one standing at the moment. The Gods will be celebrating tonight if she wins this match AND SOFIA IS ALMOST TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER–
Sienna Swann: BUT LOOK WHO HAS CLIMBED UP ONTO THE OTHER SIDE! IT’S CIRCE! SHE IS BACK IN THIS THING AFTER BEING TAKEN OUT IN THE OPENING MOMENTS OF THE MATCH!
Deadprez: But right now she is back and she looks ready to hurt Sofia after launching her onto a ladder AS CIRCE HITS SOFIA IN THE THROAT!
Gavin Kirkland: That halts Sofia for the moment as Circe grabs a double handful of Sofia’s hair AND CIRCE JUST STARTS BASHING SOFIA’S FACE INTO THE LADDER!
Deadprez: Over and over again Circe smashes Sofia’s face into the top of the ladder! Circe is being very relentless right now AS SHE TRIES TO REACH UP FOR THE RING–
Sienna Swann: SOFIA GRABS CIRCE BY THE THROAT! SWEETIE, HER EYES MIGHT POP OUT OF THE TOP OF HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: SOFIA HAS FIRE IN HER EYES AS SHE LOOKS TO CHOKE HER AND POSSIBLY CHOKESLAM HER OFF THE LADDER–
Sienna Swann: AIRI AND YASMINA ARE BACK ON THEIR FEET! SWEETIE, THEY ARE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE LADDER AND THEY ARE SHAKING THE LADDER TO TRY AND FORCE THEM TO FALL OFF!
Deadprez: They aren’t just shaking the ladder, they are trying to tip the ladder over and it might not be an easy task considering how powerful Sofia is.
Gavin Kirkland: But with Airi and Yasmina’s combined efforts THEY ACTUALLY MANAGE TO TIP THE LADDER OVER—
Sienna Swann: BOTH LADIES GO FALLING AS SOFIA GOES NECK FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE—
Deadprez: BUT LOOK AT CIRCE! Sofia released the choke as they started to fall, but as Sofia fell, Circe jumped off the ladder at the last possible second!
Gavin Kirkland: And she landed on top of Yasmina AND TOOK HER OVER WITH A MODIFIED HEADSCISSORS!
Deadprez: Very innovative move by Circe as she is back on her feet—
Sienna Swann: AIRI WITH A STRAIGHT KICK TO CIRCE’S FACE! SWEETIE, THAT COULD HAVE LOOSENED A MOLAR OR TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: Airi sees a big opportunity to win the match as she pulls the ladder back up standing BEFORE SOFIA COMES BACK WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! AIRI TURNED INSIDE OUT!
Sienna Swann: Sofia is the only one standing at the moment as she once again takes a chance to try and climb the ladder and grab the ring–
Deadprez: YASMINA WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF SOFIA’S KNEE! Sofia comes off the ladder and this goddess is glaring at Yasmina. SOFIA GOES FOR A BIG BOOT–
Gavin Kirkland: YASMINA GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND SOFIA’S LEG IS HUNG UP ON THE TOP ROPE!
Sienna Swann: Yasmina comes from behind AND CLOBBERS SOFIA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! That isn’t going to win her any favors, Sweetie.
Deadprez: Sofia is still stuck and Yasmina takes advantage of the situation and climbs the ladder! THIS COULD BE YASMINA’S MOMENT RIGHT HERE! SHE’S OVER HALFWAY THERE–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOFIA IS FREE AND SHE WALKS OVER TO YASMINA AND GETS UNDERNEATH AND PULLS YASMINA OFF THE LADDER AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB!
Deadprez: Airi was dropped with that powerbomb as Sofia once again is looking to climb the ladder–
(CRACK!)
Sienna Swann: CIRCE JUST CRACKED SOFIA IN THE HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR BEFORE SHE COULD START CLIMBING THE LADDER!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOFIA IS STILL ON HER FEET! This Sofia is very scary with the power that she has–
(CRACK!)
Sienna Swann: CIRCE HAS JUST CRACKED SOFIA IN THE HEAD AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR AND THAT DROPS SOFIA DOWN TO A KNEE! Circe takes this moment to run the ropes BEFORE COMING BACK AND HITTING THE 9:20!!
Deadprez: Double foot stomp takes Sofia down and instead of climbing the ladder, Circe has rolled out to the floor and she is looking under the ring for something. As if having the ladders around ringside wasn’t enough weaponry.
Gavin Kirkland: NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A TABLE! CIRCE HAS PULLED A TABLE OUT AND SHE IS SETTING IT UP AT RINGSIDE! Vicious thoughts are going through that young lady’s mind.
Sienna Swann: Regardless, she is back in the ring ready to do who knows what, BUT SHE IS MET WITH A BACKHAND CHOP FROM YASMINA!
Deadprez: Airi is back on her feet as well and it’s a two on one situation AS AIRI DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO SEND CIRCE TO THE ROPES AND CIRCE HAS GOT STUCK IN THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: THE ROPES ARE TWISTED AND CIRCE HAS NOWHERE TO GO AS YASMINA HAS ROLLED BACK INTO THE RING WITH ANOTHER LADDER! Yasmina now has hold of the ladder like it was a battering ram.
Deadprez: AND SHE RAMS IT RIGHT INTO CIRCE’S RIBS!! Yasmina pulls back AND SHE DOES IT AGAIN!!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, that second shot actually freed Circe from being tangled in the ropes as she is on her knees in the center of the ring trying to catch her breath after being hit twice with a ladder.
Gavin Kirkland: YASMINA TRIES TO CRACK CIRCE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE LADDER, BUT CIRCE IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! BUT THE FORCE CAUSES YASMINA TO DROP THE LADDER!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, it almost landed on Sofia but she was able to slowly roll away as she is still reeling from the chair shots and foot stomp for Circe.
Deadprez: The two newbies to MLEs, Yasmina and Airi are once again the only two standing in the ring AS AIRI KICKS YASMINA BEFORE TAKING HER UP AND OVER WITH THAT MODIFIED HEADSCISSORS!
Gavin Kirkland: Yasmina was actually taken out of the ring as Airi follows her out. Airi tries to whip Yasmina INTO THE RING STEPS, BUT YASMINA COUNTERS AND IT’S AIRI WHO CRASHES AGAINST THEM!
Sienna Swann: As if two ladders in the ring wasn’t enough, Yasmina has a third ladder in her possession as she gets it positioned on the edge of the ring and the barricade. Sweetie, this is going to be more than a bridge over troubled waters.
Deadprez: Yasmina goes over to Airi and pulls her back onto the edge of the apron before following suit. Yasmina pulls Airi to her feet and grabs her by the head AND YASMINA WANTS TO BULLDOG AIRI THROUGH THE LADDER–
Gavin Kirkland: AIRI HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES! Yasmina tries again, BUT AIRI IS STILL BLOCKING IT! Now Airi pulls Yasmina in AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK SUPLEX OVER THE ROPES! AIRI IS STANDING ON THE APRON AND YASMINA IS IN THE RING AND LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT HAVE CRACKED HER HEAD ON THE LADDER WHEN SHE LANDED!
Deadprez: Now Airi has decided to climb up to the high rent district that is the top rope in the hopes that she could hit a big move to possibly eliminate one of her opponents from contention–
Sienna Swann: SOFIA IS BACK ON HER FEET AND SHE GRABS HOLD OF AIRI AND IS TRYING TO GET HER UP IN THE MILITARY PRESS–
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CIRCE WITH A CHAIR TO THE RIBS AND AIRI IS SAFE ON THE TOP ROPE! Circe and Sofia are battling it out while AIRI JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE “UNICORN GALLOP”!
Sienna Swann: Double foot stomp by Airi as she grabs Yasmina and pulls her back to her feet and has the double underhook applied.
Deadprez: AIRI TRIES TO JUMP FOR THE RAIJIN BREAKER, BUT YASMINA PLAYS DEADWEIGHT AND BLOCKS IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Interesting strategy, but it is effective because Airi can’t hit the piledriver. But that isn’t going to stop Airi from trying the move again–
Sienna Swann: YASMINA COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP AND AIRI LANDS ON THE LADDER! SHE TRIED TO COUNTER, BUT IT JUST DIDN’T WORK!
Deadprez: Airi is down and Yasmina is making her way over to the corner and now she is making her climb up to the top rope. Yasmina wants to take Airi out of the equation.
Gavin Kirkland: Yasmina is on the top rope as she kisses her wrist and looks to the sky AND LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SHE HITS THE ELBOW DROP FROM THE TOP!
Deadprez: She didn’t get all of it, so Yasmina decides to climb up to the top rope one more time. This time, Yasmina is waiting for Airi to get back to her feet.
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, I think she likes to go for the Reina Giratoria in this position as she is calling for Airi to rise. Meanwhile, SOFIA JUST DROPPED CIRCE WITH A GUTWRENCH SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: As we get back to Airi and Yasmina. Airi is using the ropes to get back to her feet, but she is finally up–
Sienna Swann: BUT SHE FALLS INTO THE ROPES AND THAT CAUSES YASMINA TO LOSE HER BALANCE AND LAND ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Dawg, she won’t sprain any ankles where she landed. But here comes Airi to join Yasmina on the top turnbuckle. This is looking dangerous.
Gavin Kirkland: Be careful up there!! Airi is pulling Yasmina to her feet on the top turnbuckle as Airi is able to maneuver herself behind Yasmina AS SHE JUMPS UP AND FLIPS BACK–
(CRASH!)
Sienna Swann: THE AIRIRANA BY AIRI AND THAT SENDS YASMINA THROUGH THE LADDER BRIDGE AND SHE CRASHES RIGHT THROUGH IT! OH MY GAWD, SWEETIE! THERE GO TWO LADIES OUT OF THE MATCH!
Deadprez: LOOK! AIRI IS ON THE APRON! From the replay, Airi grabbed the ropes to cushion the blow and landed on the apron while sending Yasmina through the ladder bridge.
Gavin Kirkland: Airi is catching her breath on the apron as we go back to Sofia and Circe as Sofia has just dropped Circe with a spinebuster. Now Sofia has Circe on her shoulders AS SOFIA SPINS CIRCE OUT FOR THE TWELVE LABORS–
Deadprez: LOOK AT THIS! CIRCE TORQUED HER BODY TO GET HER LEGS AROUND SOFIA’S NECK AND SENDS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Sienna Swann: Sofia lands on the apron and is starting to recover as Circe quickly scrambles up to the top rope. What does she have planned?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know, but Sofia has barely made it back to her feet AS CIRCE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE FROG SPLASH–
Sienna Swann: AND SHE CONNECT WITH AN ELBOW! MODIFIED STANDING FINGER OF GOD BY CIRCE! THE FORCE OF THE ELBOW SENDS SOFIA OFF THE APRON–
(CRASH!)
Deadprez: AND SOFIA GOES RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE CIRCE SET UP EARLIER! THAT WAS A HORRIBLE LANDING FOR THE GODDESS!
Gavin Kirkland: Now we are down to two! Airi and Circe are the only two women standing right now AND CIRCE SEES AIRI CLIMBING TOWARDS THE LADDER!
Sienna Swann: Circe cuts her off AND JUST STARTS THROWING CLOSED FISTED PUNCHES INTO HER HEAD! AND NOW SHE’S BITING! CIRCE IS BITING AIRI AND AIRI IS KICKING TO TRY TO GET FREE
Deadprez: Circe pulls Airi back to her feet by the hair and applies the facelook and grabs the leg BEFORE SHE LIFTS HER AND DROPS AIRI WITH THE FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: That looked like a Fisherman’s buster there as Airi is down on the mat and Circe has an easy trek to the ring and the victory in this ladder match.
Deadprez: Circe repositions the ladder right under the ring. She has a smirk on her face as she feels this match is hers… like she has the entire time… and now she begins the climb to the ring and the victory.
Sienna Swann: Circe isn’t even trying to hide the fact that she believes that she’s won, Sweetie. She has just reached the top of the ladder. She reaches for the ring–
Gavin Kirkland: AIRI! AIRI REACHES UP AND PULLS CIRCE DOWN A FEW RUNGS TO STOP HER AS AIRI CLIMBS UP THE OTHER SIDE!
Sienna Swann: Circe climbs back up as Airi is close to the top as Circe fires right hands to try and halt her climb.
Deadprez: But nothing is stopping her right now as both women are at the top of the ladder and now both women are just slugging each other on the ladder. Circe hits a right hand and Airi returns the favor.
Gavin Kirkland: Circe gets a cheap shot and grabs Airi by the hair AND SLAMS HER FACE INTO THE TOP OF THE LADDER! CIRCE DOES IT A FEW MORE TIMES FOR GOOD MEASURE AS SHE REACHES UP FOR THE RING!
Sienna Swann: SWEETIE, CIRCE HAS HOLD OF THE RING! ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS PULL IT DOWN AND SHE WINS IT, BUT LOOK!
Deadprez: AIRI HAS HOLD OF THE RING AS WELL AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO LET GO! THEY ARE STILL BATTLING IT OUT WHILE GRABBING ONTO THE LADDER–
(CRASH!)
Gavin Kirkland: BOTH WOMEN HAVE COME OFF THE LADDER, BUT THE RING HAS COME DOWN WITH THEM! BUT WE CAN’T SEE WHO HAS THE RING! IS IT CIRCE OR IS IT AIRI?
Deadprez: Both ladies landed in a way where we can’t see who has the ring, but whoever has it wins the match.
(Circe and Airi both roll just enough to see that one person does in fact have the ring. The referee sees it and calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee has called for the bell as the referee is standing in the way of who has the ring. Both women are down as the referee goes over to Gina Romano to give her the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! Here is your winner….
(The crowd is silent in anticipation as they wait to see who has been ruled the winner.)
Gina Romano: AIRI MIYAMUNE!!!!
(‘Episode X’ starts playing again as the camera shot zooms in on both ladies down and recovering on the mat. We see that when they crashed onto the mat, Circe unintentionally lost her grip on the ring leaving Airi the sole holder of the ring.)
Deadprez: Holy crap! What a match that literally came down to the very last second. Circe and Airi fought tooth and nail on the ladder and off the ladder, but it just came down to an unfortunate case of bad luck on the part of Circe. But congratulations to Airi with the first big win of her EAW career.
Gavin Kirkland: All four competitors really brought the fight in this match and Airi looks a little stunned that she won. With a powerhouse like Sofia or the more experienced Circe, Airi wasn’t exactly a favorite but she is leaving a winner.
(Airi is back on her feet as Circe has sat up in complete disbelief that she lost the ring and the match as the referee raises Airi’s arm in victory.)
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, you said it already that all four people in this match brought the fight. Honestly, any one of them could have won. If they all had this good of a showing here, the future looks bright for the blue brand.
Deadprez: Airi made her MLE debut tonight at Territorial Invasion and she is leaving the one who grabbed the ring. Congratulations once again to Airi on the vict—
(CRACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?
Sienna Swann: CIRCE HAS ATTACKED AIRI FROM BEHIND AND IS JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HER! SWEETIE, WHAT A SORE LOSER!
Deadprez: Circe has lost her mind as she is just punching Airi right in the face as she pulls Airi back to her feet by the hair and hooks her arm BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH THE OBITCHUARY!!
Gavin Kirkland: The DDT plants Airi as Circe just keeps beating the hell out of Airi. Circe has nobody to blame but herself for losing grip–
Sienna Swann: FINALLY THE REFEREE PULLS CIRCE OFF OF AIRI AND IS TELLING CIRCE TO LEAVE THE RING–
(BAM!)
Deadprez: OH MY GOD! SHE JUST KICKED THE REFEREE RIGHT BELOW THE BELT! SHE HOOKS THE REFEREE AND DROPS HIM WITH AN OBITCHUARY!!
Sienna Swann: Sweetie, that is going to cost her some money for attacking an official. Now Airi and the referee are out as she finally leaves the ring. I completely understand why she is frustrated but this is too much.
(Circe is leaving the ring and as she starts to leave as a fan in the front row catches her attention.)
Fan: (off-mic) You lost, bitch. Get over it.
(Circe’s head snaps over to the fan AS SHE GRABS THE FAN BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND PULLS THEM OVER THE BARRICADE!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH COME ON!! THIS IS TOO MUCH! THIS IS A FAN!
Deadprez: Circe doesn’t care. She has snapped as she muscles the fan up before SHE JUMPS AND SPINS–
Sienna Swann: AND DROPS THE FAN WITH THE DEAD IN TOMBSTONE!! NOT THE PILEDRIVER! OHHH THIS IS REALLY GOING TO COST HER SOME MONEY!
(The fan is down and out as the medics rush out to check on the fan. Circe is pissed and has a crazed look on her face as she leaves the ringside area.)
Gavin Kirkland: I get being pissed about losing a match, but there is no need to attack a fan for expressing their opinion.
Deadprez: But I have this feeling that things are only going to get worse before they get better. Circe is on a rampage. Airi wins the match, but Circe is the only one standing. Ohhh Showdown is going to get interesting with this going on.
(The final shot shows the medics checking on the fan, the referee, Airi, Sofia, and Yasmina before cutting to Circe walking up the ramp looking somewhat pleased at the job she did as the camera shot fades elsewhere.)
(Territorial Invasion returns as the next match graphic is seen flashing across the screen.)

Bella Braxton: The Following is a #1 Contender’s match for the EAW Specialist Championship!! And it’s scheduled for.. ONE FALL!!
(“My Own Summer” by Deftones began to play through the speakers of the arena as Selina Reyes stepped out onto the stage, having a confident look in her eyes as she began to make her way to the ring..)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of San Antonio, Texas!! Weighing in at 117lbs… she is “THE ORYX QUEEN!!” SELINAAAA REYEEES!!!
Stew-O: Big match for the ToXXXin member, as she beat Sayuri Himura to qualify for a spot as Voltage’s representative. You know she would want nothing more than to add a singles Championship to her trophy case.
Gavin Kirkland: And this beautiful BUILT woman is capable of doing it! We’ve seen what Voltage’s dangerous trio has been capable of doing together, and we know that Selina is just as dangerous. She is ready to seize the moment!
Persephone: None of you know her like I do, that being said… I don’t really care.
(Selina finally entered the ring, stepping towards the center of it as she outstretched her arms with confidence, before stepping back into her corner and settling in as “Genie In a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera began to play. Grace De Luca stepped out onto the stage not long after..)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent, hailing out of Los Angeles, California!! And weighing in at 121lbs!! She is.. “THE PARADIGM OF PERFECTION!!” GRACEEEE DE LUCAAA!!
Stew-O: Grace has certainly been the firestarter as it pertains to this match, and now more than ever it is time to put up and shut up for her and finally get the opportunity that she’s been waiting for.
Gavin Kirkland: But it’s going to be a long, uphill battle that she’s going to have to prepare herself for as well! But we’ve seen Grace sneak away with some pretty huge victories despite that, so we’ll just have to see.
Persephone: Whatever.
(Grace De Luca struck a confident pose, before she began her walk down to the ring with a smug look on her face, finally entering as she strutted toward the center of the ring, doing a signature pose once more, before stepping back into her corner. As “Memory” by Mercy Drive had begun to play..)
Bella Braxton: And their opponent! Hailing out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota!! And weighing in at 118lbs!! She is.. “THE SHARPSHOOTERRRR!!” DELANEYYYY RHODEES!!!
Persephone: Ew.
Stew-O: Tyrone Montgomery personally chose Delaney Rhodes as the representative for Friday Night Dynasty, and she has been quick to find her footing in this company with a massive start to the season.
Gavin Kirkland: And it’s only up from here, I’m sure! This is the biggest opportunity of her young career, and you know that’s not something she’s going to take for granted.
Persephone: She gives me weirdo vibes.
(Delaney Rhodes made her way onto the stage with a confident look in her eyes, looking more than determined as she began her walk down to the ring, finally entering it as we were set to get this match underway now!)
(DING!! DING!! DING!!)
Persephone: Here we go! This match is set to get underway and it’s for a chance to go on and fight the EAW Specialists Championship! These women looked more than ready here tonight..
Stew-O: I am quite interested in this match up- wait hold on.. what is Grace De Luca doing..? Of course.. Grace De Luca has slid out of the ring and she’s looking to make Selina and Delaney fight it out!
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Hey.. you guys got this! I believe in the both of you!
Gavin Kirkland: Delaney just shakes her head.. BUT FROM BEHIND SELINA BRINGS DELANEY DOWN WITH A SCHOOLBOY PIN!!!
(ONE!!)
Persephone: Delaney with a quick kick out! Delaney Rhodes, rolls up to a knee with pure shock on her face as she was almost robbed there but… WAIT!! GRACE DE LUCA PULLS SELINA OUT OF THE RING AND….
(THUD!!!)
Stew-O: Grace De Luca just sent Selina crashing into the barricade!! She’s wiping her hands off like she’s just finished doing dirty work and there’s a huge smile plastered on her face. But she can’t forget there’s another woman in this match! Delaney takes off towards the ropes!!
Gavin Kirkland: Grace you have to turn around- IT WAS TOO LATE AS DELANEY CAME FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE CROSSBODY TO GRACE DE LUCA!!!!
Persephone: Listen to this roaring crowd! Delaney grabs Grace up onto her feet and she rolls her into the ring, rolling in afterward. But no!! Wait!! Selina from behind grabs Delaney up she.. SENDS HER CRASHING INTO THE CORNER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Stew-O: Delaney hit those turnbuckles hard! Selina is rolling up and onto her feet! But there was Grace De Luca lying in wait!! She popped Selina up into the air!! Looking to catch Selina off guard with a… POP-UP HAYMAKER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But… Selina threw her legs around Grace De Luca’s shoulder!! And she sent Grace De Luca crashing to the canvas with a huge HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN!! The momentum sent Grace De Luca tumbling up onto her feet and Selina charged in at a discombobulated Grace De Luca!!
Persephone : BUT GRACE POPPED HER UP INTO THE AIR!! CONNECTING WITH THAT HAYMAKER THIS TIME AROUND!!! Selina crashed down onto the canvas and Grace De Luca was quick to crawl into the cover for the pin!! Looking to put away the match!
Stew-O: But Grace De Luca isn’t getting off the hook that easy! Delaney Rhodes is back in the fray! And she’s peeling Grace De Luca up off of Selina with a deadlift!! And she.. sends her up and over!!!!
Grace De Luca: (Off-mic) AHH!! PUT ME DOWN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Well! She put her down! But not the way Grace wanted!! DELANEY PLANTED GRACE INTO THE CANVAS WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX AND SHE HAS IT BRIDGED FOR THE PIN!!!
(ONEEEEEE!!!)
(TWWWWWWOO)
Persephone: GRACE DE LUCA KICKS OUT!!!
Stew-O: This match has been all gas and no breaks since the first bell! And I don’t believe that either of these ladies are slowing down anytime soon! Delaney Rhodes is climbing up onto her feet just as Selina is and.. Delaney delivers a forearm smash to Selina!! Selina stumbles back slightly.. but she retaliates with one of her own!!
Gavin Kirkland: Selina follows up with a nasty European Uppercut that sends Delaney Rhodes reeling back into the ropes! But she’s sent forward from the momentum of the ropes and she CRACKS SELINA WITH A HUGE SUPERKICK!! Selina is on wobbly legs!! She’s stunned Delaney turns and rushes at the ropes…
Persephone: But… GRACE DE LUCA LOWERS THE ROPES AND DELANEY GOES TUMBLING TO THE FLOOR AT RINGSIDE!!! She crashed and burned hard!!
Stew-O: Grace De Luca pushes herself back up to a vertical base! But.. SELINA SENT GRACE DE LUCA OVER THE ROPES WITH A CLOTHESLINE!! Grace De Luca went tumbling to the floor as Delaney was getting up…
Gavin Kirkland: Delaney is up onto her feet as Grace De Luca is getting up onto her own feet! Both women are standing outside of the ring.. but I don’t believe that Selina has any great intentions here as she is grabbing onto the top rope. Selina Reyes!! She springs off of the ropes and to the outside!! CRASHING DOWN ONTO BOTH DELANEY AND GRACE DE LUCA WITH A SPRINGBOARD PLANCHA!!!
Persephone: She just wiped out the whole field, including her damn self. But she’s somehow managing to get back up onto her feet, using the help of the barricade.
Stew-O: Selina grabs Delaney Rhodes to her feet, and now she’s rolling her into the ring. I think Selina may be looking to put it away here as she slides into the ring and she hooks the leg….
(ONEEEEE!!!)
(TWWWWOO!!)
Gavin Kirkland: Kick out!! From Delaney Rhodes! And this match continues. Selina grabs Delaney to her feet, sending her towards the corner. Selina pushes Delaney up to the top turnbuckle into a seated position and Selina is throwing shots as she’s starting to climb up to keep Delaney isolated! Selina throws that arm over her shoulder! She may be looking for a SUPERPLE—
Persephone: Well, she isn’t getting that with the shots that Delaney is throwing at her midsection right now! Delaney manages to slip through! And now Delaney’s climbing the ropes and she’s got hold of Selina at the waist! Maybe setting up for an Avalanche German Suplex! But.. GRACE DE LUCA SLIPS UNDER DELANEY HOISTING HER ONTO HER SHOULDERS FOR AN ELECTRIC CHAIR HOLD! But..DELANEY STILL HAS SELINA!
Stew-O: Whoa!! GRACE DE LUCA TOOK DELANEY DOWN WITH THE ELECTRIC CHAIR AS DELANEY TOOK SELINA DOWN WITH AN AVALANCHE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Selina and Delaney most certainly got the worst of that, but Grace De Luca looks to be wasting no time as she slides into the cover on Delaney…
(ONEEEEE!!!)
(TWWWWOO!!)
(THR—)
Persephone: DELANEY KICKS OUT!!! But now Grace is quick to slither into the cover on Selina! Hooking her leg for the pin!
(ONEEEEE!!!)
(TWWWWOO!!)
(THR—)
Stew-O: No!! SELINA KICKS OUT AS WELL!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Frustration has to be settling in for Grace De Luca as of right now. She thought that she had both Delaney and Selina where she wanted them. And now she has to go back to the drawing board..
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) Get up!
Persephone: Grace De Luca is now on her feet. I mean… this could be Grace De Luca’s moment. Both women are down and she’s the only one- or was the only one standing. She’s pulling Selina Reyes to a vertical base now and she just.. SLAPPED HER ACROSS THE FACE!!
Stew-O: I..don’t think that did anything but wake Selina Reyes up! And she’s firing off chops at the chest of Grace De Luca’s! Grace is retreating to the corner. But Selina is tracking her down rushing in at Grace for a Clothesline into the corner! But.. GRACE MOVES!! And this causes Selina to crash into the turnbuckles sternum first!
Gavin Kirkland: Grace is nursing that chest, trailing along the ropes, but she’s walked right into the arms of Delaney Rhodes.. who.. lifts her up and sends her crashing to the canvas with a T-Bone Suplex!! Grace De Luca crashes down onto the canvas and Delaney Rhodes kips up to her feet.. she’s DROPPING THOSE STRAPS AND SHE IS FIRED UP!!
Delaney Rhodes: (off-mic) Come on!!
Persephone: A little firecracker isn’t she..? Nevertheless Selina rushes in at Delaney, swinging for a Clothesline! But she’s caught and hoisted up, before being planted down onto the canvas with T-BONE SUPLEX!! Selina hits the canvas hard! But now Grace De Luca is getting to her feet and now SHE rushes at Delaney…
Stew-O: But DELANEY SCOOPS HER UP AND PLANTS HER ONTO THE CANVAS WITH ANOTHER T-BONE SUPLEX!!! BRIDGING FOR THE COVER!
(ONEEEEE!!!!)
(TWWWWOO!!!)
(THR—)
Gavin Kirkland: Grace De Luca manages to kick out!! Delaney doesn’t seem to have garnered any frustration though, I think she’s looking to keep her offense! Delaney Rhodes rolls through with the leg of Grace’s in her grasp, hoisting her up onto her shoulders! She may be looking for that ROLL THROUGH PIPER’S PIT!!!
Persephone: And it connects!! But.. SELINA COMES CRASHING DOWN ONTO DELANEY WITH A SENTON FROM THE TOP ROPE!!
Stew-O: But before Selina could reach for the pin, Delaney rolls out onto the apron. Selina just watched the match slip through her fingers like that. And you can sense the frustration as she drops her head, pushing herself to her knees, but out of the corner of her eye she spots Grace getting to her feet…
Gavin Kirkland: Selina wants to make sure that Grace is down! She rushes in at her! Latching onto her waist and sending her crashing to the canvas with a WHEELBARROW BULLDOG!! Selina doesn’t bother to go for the pin! She instead rolls out onto the apron where Delaney is finally starting to gather herself…
Persephone: Selina grabs Delaney up onto her feet, by her hair.. both women on the apron. A European Uppercut connects to Delaney!! Delaney stumbles back along the apron, but simply has mustered up enough to strike Selina with a huge forearm smash! That leaves Selina teetering!
Stew-O: But.. DELANEY ANSWERS AGAIN QUICKLY WITH A SUPERKICK!! Selina is hanging on by a thread right now!! Only one arm on the top rope, keeping her up! And.. Delaney goes for another…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SELINA CATCHES HER FOOT!!! Selina turns her around and she.. PLANTS HER ONTO THE APRON WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!! Delaney goes crumbling down off of the apron and Selina takes a bit of a breather…
Persephone: That looks like it hurts. Selina is taking this moment to push herself back up against the steel ring post, while seated on the apron..
Stew-O: Meanwhile Delaney hasn’t moved since that Snap Dragon Suplex! This match has been physical and chaotic—
(CLANK!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: GRACE CAUGHT SELINA WITH A RUNNING KNEE INTO THE STEEL RINGPOST!!
Persephone: Did you see the way her head bounced off of that steel..? And the sound it made! My goodness! Selina slumped down, rolling back into the ring. Grace began to climb the ropes, her back turned towards Selina, before taking a huge leap!! MOONSAULT ONTO SELINA REYES CONNECTS!! And Grace hooks the leg!!!
(ONEEEE!!!)
(TWWWOO!!)
(THREEEEEE!!)
Stew-O: The pin is… BROKEN UP BY DELANEY RHODES!!! SHE SLIDES IN ENOUGH TIME TO STOP THE REFS COUNT WITH A MOONSAULT OF HER OWN TO THE BACK OF GRACE DE LUCA’S!! “SKYWAY!!!”
Gavin Kirkland: All 3 women are down now in this match now, that’s great. Well.. somebody is going to have to get up first!
Persephone: It seems that “somebody” is going to be Delaney. And she isn’t looking to slow that offense of hers down as she’s grabbed hold of the ankle of Grace De Luca’s!! And she’s got the Ankle Lock locked in!! Grace is screeching out in pain right now!
Stew-O: Delaney has that hold on on super tight!! She’s got Grace in the middle of the ring! But.. from behind SELINA APPLIES A SLEEPER HOLD ONTO DELANEY!! Delaney and Grace are both in precarious positions!! Who is going to give in first!?
Gavin Kirkland: The grip that Delaney has on Grace’s ankle is beginning to loosen, due to the air flow being restricted by Selina Reyes!
Persephone: And this gives Grace De Luca just enough space to roll forward, escaping the Ankle Lock! Meanwhile Selina still has that Sleeper Hold locked in! If Grace De Luca wants to win, she’d better capitalize on this fast!
Stew-O: Well.. it seems she’s taken your words to heart! Because Grace runs at Selina Reyes and Delaney.. SENDING THEM BOTH CRASHING BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A DROPKICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This forces Selina to release that death grip that she had on Delaney Rhodes. But now here both of them find themselves seated in the corner!! Grace rushes back in!! RUNNING KNEE STRIKE IN THE CORNER TO BOTH SELINA AND DELANEY!!!
Persephone: Both Delaney and Selina roll out of the corner. Grace has some choices to choose from here and I believe that she sees that. As she’s climbing up to the top rope! Grace leaps off.. DIVING ELBOW ONTO DELANEY RHODES!! Grace hooks the—
Stew-O: NO!! DELANEY CAUGHT GRACE DE LUCA WITH A TRIANGLE CHOKE AS SHE CAME DOWN!! Grace is screeching and squirming desperately trying to get out of the hold! But Delaney has it locked in tight!! Grace’s arm is flailing around! She’s desperately looking for a way out of this hold.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, she’s going to have to keep looking, assuming there’re no rope breaks in a triple threat match with the No DW rule.. Selina is starting to finally come to as Delaney is looking to tap out Grace or put her to sleep!!
Persephone: Selina rolls over, wrapping her legs around the shoulder and neck area of Delaney’s! She uses that lower body strength to turn her over as Delaney releases the hold on Grace!! And… SELINA IS RELENTLESSLY SMASHING DELANEY’s HEAD INTO THE CANVAS REPEATEDLY WITH THAT GROUNDED HEADSCISSORS HEAD SMASH!!!
Stew-O: Oh I know that this is Gavin’s favorite move! And Delaney is defenseless right now in that exact hold!
Gavin Kirkland: You know nothing..! As much as we and yes I mean WE would’ve liked to continue to see Selina smash Delaney’s head in with that move particularly.. She’s finally released the hold, allowing Delaney to roll away. Selina climbing to her own feet.. but GRACE DE LUCA IS SHOOTING FOR THE “GRACE-FUL CLOTHESLINE!!” LOOKING TO END SELINA WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE…
Persephone: BUT SELINA CATCHES THE ARM OF GRACE DE LUCA’S TAKING HER UP!! AND BOTH WOMEN COME CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THE “PUNJABI FLY!!” Selina hooks the leg off of the Spanish Fly….
(ONEEEE!!)
(TWWOOO!!)
(THREEEE!!)

Stew-O: GRACE MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wait… hold on.. there seems to be a smirk on the face of Grace De Luca’s as we zoom onto the face of Selina Reyes in agony… look at the replay camera…
(Replay screen: As the camera cut, it showed Grace De Luca pulling off a low blow in the midst of kicking out!!)
Persephone: Oh that’s not…well wow. Grace is looking to take complete advantage, pulling a distraught Selina Reyes to her feet! After just hitting her in her woman hood.. that’s I guess one way to survive. But now Grace De Luca is looking to reward that survival as she’s got Selina up and off of her feet! She’s SPIKED HER DOWN HEAD FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THE “PERFECTION PLEX!!!” The Twisting Brainbuster connects!! And Grace hooks the leg!!
(ONEEEE!!)
(TWWOOO!!)
(THREEEE!!)

Stew-O: DELANEY MANAGED TO BREAK UP THE PIN WITH A DIVE TO GRACE’S BACK!!
Grace De Luca: (off-mic) NOOOO! NO NO! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
Gavin Kirkland: Uh oh.. careful she may just throw a temper tantrum. Grace is allowing her frustrations to get the better of right now, might not be the greatest idea.. she climbs to her feet and she grabs Delaney up to a vertical base..but..
(CRACK!!)
Persephone: Delaney just struck Grace De Luca with a Superkick!! Causing Grace to wobble on her own legs.. but.. Delaney catches her with another Superkick!! Wait… NO! RAKE TO THE EYES BY GRACE!! This frees up enough space for Grace to send Delaney over the top rope!
Stew-O: But Grace herself is in pursuit of Delaney and there’s no telling what she has in mind right now. She’s eyeing our announce table, that’s for sure.. wait she’s.. RIPPING THE COVER OFF OF THE TABLE!! What for!!?
Gavin Kirkland: My guess.. would be to put Delaney through it…? Grace climbs atop of the table, pulling Delaney up onto it with her! Oh no.. I think she may be looking for that twisting Brainbuster!! Pulling Delaney into a front face lock—
Persephone: Grace De Luca goes to hoist her up.. but Delaney slips out!! She grabs hold of Grace and.. sends her up and over.. CRASHING ONTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A SNAP OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!! Although the table didn’t crumble under Grace!!
Stew-O: Delaney is taking a moment right here to gain some of her bearings back, while Grace sliding off of the table and to the floor in agony.. WAIT LOOK OUT!! IT’S SELINA!! SHE RUSHES UP THE TABLE AND SHE’S GOT A HOLD OF HER… “PUNJABI FLY!!!” OFF OF THE TABLE, SENDING BOTH HERSELF AND DELANEY CRASHING TO THE FLOOR!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh my God!! That was a hard fall!! This match has been nothing short of hard hitting and physical and these women have most definitely been delivering I guess…
Persephone: You guess..? Weird. Neither one of these women have moved at all by the way. It seems the aching fatigue is beginning to set in- wait.. we have some movement from Selina Reyes, using the apron to pull herself to her feet, she’s got hold of Delaney, rolling her into the ring. But… Selina herself steps up onto the apron! She’s calling Delaney up and onto her feet!
Stew-O: Selina knows that she needs to finish this off right here and now and she seems to be looking to do so! Finally Delaney gets to her feet! Selina wastes no time! She springs off of the ropes!! Going for a… SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: However… Delaney manages to catch Selina at the legs!! Selina’s back hitting the canvas!! Delaney keeps hold of that ankle! Turning Selina over!! And she.. LOCK IT IN!!! SHE LOCKS THE ANKLE LOCK ON TIGHT!!! Selina groans out in pain!! Shaking her head “no!” As the hold is locked in!!
Persephone: But.. Delaney pulls Selina back towards the center of the ring!! Before, finally… Selina rolls forward!! Sending Delaney crashing into the turnbuckles sternum first!! Delaney stumbles back into Selina’s arms!! Causing Selina to hoist Delaney up and.. PLANT HER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A SAITO SUPLEX!! Delaney crashed down hard!! But now Selina is truly looking to end this as she’s backed into the corner.. her eyes locked on Delaney…
(SSSSS!!!!)
Selina Reyes: (off-mic) AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The hell!? GRACE DE LUCA JUST SPRAYED SELINA IN THE EYES WITH THAT HAIRSPRAY!!! Selina is momentarily blind!! Leaving an opening for Grace De Luca as she climbs into the ring!!! Grace may just steal this win here and now!! Grace waits for Selina to turn around and as Selina is able to turn around—
(CRACK!!)
Gavin Kirkland: BANG!!! “Bittersweet Chin Music!!!” The Superkick connects!!! And down goes Selina Reyes!! All Grace has to do is pin her!! She tosses the can to the outside and turns around…
(SMACK!!!)
Persephone: SMACK DAB INTO A SUPERKICK FROM DELANEY RHODES!!! It connects!!! SHE GOT HER WITH ONE OF HER OWN!! But Delaney isn’t finished!! She leaps up.. spiking Grace’s head onto the canvas with a leaping reverse STO!! Connecting with the “MEMORY LANE!!!”
Stew-O: She may do it!! Delaney drops down and hooks the leg of Grace De Luca’s!! And the referee begins the count!!!
(ONNNNEEEEE!!!)
(TWWWWOOOO!!)
(THREEEEEEEEEE!!!)
(….)
(….)
(DING!!! DING!! DING!!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… DELANEY RHODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ladies and gentlemen! Your winner of this match and the Number One Contender for the EAW Specialists Championship is Delaney Rhodes!! I can’t lie, it was a great match between all 3 women.. but in the end it was Delaney Rhodes pulling off the win here.
Persephone: I’d have to agree with you.. guess we can’t really take anything from the other two in this match..
Gavin Kirkland: Lighten up, Perse! Delaney has more than earned this in what was an hellacious hill to climb, and there’s no denying the talent that comes from both Selina and Grace as well, but tonight! Delaney proved that she’s ready for the spotlight, the question is whether or not she’s ready for the Specialists Championship?
(Delaney climbed to her feet exhausted, having her hand raised in victory, the camera panning towards a distraught Grace De Luca and upset Selina Reyes, before it was brought back into a celebrating Delaney Rhodes before the camera began to completely fade to black…)
