(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera opens up to a recap of Wicked Games. The show starts with the Unified Tag Team Champions, Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert cutting a promo about the tag team turmoil tournament, and deciding to watch the finals. The finals would open up the show, and while Drake King and Ms. Extreme would initially win, Chris Elite would restart the match. After an attack by Justin Windgate and Donovan Duke, Jake Smith and Chris Elite would win the tournament. After this, Alex Myers defeats Danny Tanner in brutal fashion. Jay Jerry Johnson would then win a fatal five way consisting of him, Kelin, Lucas Johnson, The Woogieman, and Kirk Redwood while the New Breed Champion Amir Yusuf watches. After this, Ryan Wilson would brutally defeat Candice Blair as well, likely injuring her just like Danny was injured. Next, Holly Arrow manages to win a surprising Haunted House match against Shane Gates. Next, Ryan Wilson talks to Captain Charisma, and decides to use his match opportunity on the Voltage Extreme Elimination Chamber. After this, Miku Sakai successfully retains the Specialists Championship against Mary S. Atlas. Following this, Drake King talks with Myles and Minerva backstage, and they have a small argument over the events of Territorial Invasion, but in the end they all come to agreement that they need to win the main event match. After this, Cleopatra manages to defeat Rebecca Blackwell. In the main event of the show Myles and Minerva would win and give New Eden control of Voltage, but only after an interference from an angry Ms. Extreme.)
(’33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami hits, and while the pyro does shoot throughout the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the crowd isn’t cheering as much as usual. The camera quickly cuts to the announce table, and as usual James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone are seen at the table, but they look more unenthusiastic than ever.)
James Peters: I almost want to just stop commentating altogether tonight, but I know I can’t do that.
Persephone: Almost? I don’t even want to be here after what happened at Wicked Games. Well I already never want to be here, but those three idiots made things worse. Or I guess I should say four. Thanks Ms. Extreme :francis:.
Rich Russillo: Right.. week one of New Eden’s Voltage. Here we go.
(Voltage fades to the stage, and ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer begins to play, and the crowd’s booing is unbelievably loud. It immediately drowns out the entrance music, but that doesn’t stop the EAW Champion Drake King from walking out with a big smile on his face. He doesn’t care much about the crowd reaction as he makes his way down towards the ring, obviously thanks to the events of Wicked Games, which gave New Eden control of Voltage for an entire month.)
James Peters: I seriously don’t even want to say anything about this.
Rich Russillo: What could we say? New Eden won at Wicked Games. They have control of Voltage and we just have to deal with that now.
Persephone: :francis:
(Drake King enters the ring, and while the boos don’t even come close to stopping, he begins speaking anyway.)
Drake King: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sunday night Voltage!
(The boos only get louder than before, but that doesn’t hurt Drake’s mood, as he and New Eden finally got what they wanted. At this point they’re way too used to this reaction for it to bother them at a time like this.)
Drake King: I’m glad that everyone’s so excited, because for the next month Voltage is going to be the best wrestling show any of you have ever seen! This is the change that we’ve needed forever now. We needed Captain Charisma out of the picture, we needed all this horrible language out of the picture, and step by step this show is becoming the standard for what a wrestling show should be! I’m very proud of Myles and Minerva for what they were able to accomplish at Wicked Games, and I’m so happy that for the next month, WE will be the ones in charge of this show!
(The boos continue.)
James Peters: I don’t know if Drake was expecting to come out to a standing ovation or something, but I for one am not surprised seeing the entire Liacouras Center boo Drake.
Drake King: A lot is going to change around here for the next month, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to any of you. Captain Charisma was a horrible Voltage commissioner, and the things he did for this brand only further ran it into the ground. He shouldn’t have ever been celebrated for his actions, but you guys continued to cheer for him every single week solely because you all didn’t know any better. You didn’t know that this place could be better than the horrible matches, the unfair treatment, and these stupid Championship matches. You had no idea what it was like actually being shown a good wrestling show, but that’s going to change now. Now, you guys are going to get the product this company deserves, and by the end of this month you won’t even want Captain Charisma back. By the end of this month you won’t want Voltage to go back to the state it was in before New Eden got involved. By the end of this month every single person in the crowd booing right now is going to want New Eden to keep control of this show, because every single one of you will understand that the changes we’re making are what’s best for this show. The changes we’re making will only further solidify this show as the greatest one in the company. Each week for this month one member of New Eden will get the opportunity to do whatever we want with this show, and as you can see, we’re already off to a great start!
(If it isn’t obvious, Drake is the only one that seems to believe that, as he’s forced to continue speaking over the extremely loud boos from the crowd.)
Drake King: Only at the start of the week we banned any profanity from being used here on Voltage, and that was just the start of what’s to come for this brand. The language that was being used on this show was awful, and even now it really is sad seeing just how many of you chose to either ignore the rule or purposely go against it. I did say that you’d be fined 500 dollars every time you use one of those words, and so far here’s what everyone owes.
(Drake takes out what looks like a small list, before beginning to read from it.)
Drake King: Alex Myers owes five hundred dollars. Myles owes five hundred dollars :francis:. Holly Arrow owes one thousand dollars. Mary S. Atlas owes one thousand, five hundred dollars…
(Drake’s expression changes, as he doesn’t look too happy as he reads the final two names.)
Drake King: :francis: Justin Windgate owes four thousand dollars… And Ryan Wilson owes…. Six thousand, five hundred dollars. Guys, you really shouldn’t feel the need to waste your own money like this. Just stop swearing. Don’t do it in your promotional videos, don’t do it here on Voltage, and please don’t purposely put on horrible profanity-filled music just to try and spite us. All you have to do is NOT say words you know I wouldn’t approve of. It’s such a simple rule to follow, but whatever. That’s not the only reason I came out here tonight. I came out here because I have another big announcement for you all, one that’ll only further the development of Voltage into the greatest wrestling show there is. We weren’t lying when we said that we planned to change this place for the better, and I believe that this announcement is going to help the growth we were looking for when we first joined forces back in February.
(For the first time since Drake’s music hit, the crowd actually begins to quiet down, as they’re clearly intrigued about what the announcement is, even if they can’t have a good feeling about it following his first announcement at the start of the week.)
Drake King: Effective immediately, you can consider Voltage’s Extreme Elimination Chamber for this stupid EAW Championship cancelled.
(And immediately, the amount of boos throughout the arena skyrocket. Despite this, Drake does have a grin on his face, proud of his announcement.)
Drake King: These worthless titles shouldn’t even exist in the first place, but if they’re going to exist, there’s no reason why we need to defend them. They’re nothing more than belts, and soon enough we’re going to make sure that you all stop putting value into these-
???: NO, NO, NO!
Drake King: :comeagain:
(Drake looks confused as he looks over at the stage, and a furious Ryan Wilson can be seen making his way out to the stage, making his way down to the ring with a microphone in his hand.)
Ryan Wilson: No no no, you can NOT cancel that Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Drake King: I just did.
(Ryan finally makes his way to the steel steps, and he looks disgusted with Drake thanks to the announcement.)
Ryan Wilson: Of course you don’t get it. Of course. I knew from the start that you three would do a horrible job with this show. I knew that you three wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to my work with Showdown, and what do you do your first week on the job? You get rid of a bunch of fu-
(Ryan immediately stops himself, knowing what he was about to say.)
Ryan Wilson: A bunch of frickin’ words. You ban words from being used, and if things couldn’t get any worse or any more childish than that, you cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber, a match I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN!
(Drake remains silent, allowing Ryan to continue speaking.)
Ryan Wilson: Did you forget? Did you forget that Captain Charisma gave me the opportunity to have any match I wanted? I chose the Extreme Elimination Chamber because I was smart. I was ahead of everyone else, and I knew that maybe, just maybe there was a small chance that you guys would come out on top at Wicked Games, and if that happened there was no chance you’d let me get that match. Well I already called my shot. I already got that match approved, and I should be walking into Road to Redemption ready to take YOUR title, but you’re so much of a coward that you’d go as far as to cancel the entire chamber. It only took you three one week to screw this place up, and if this is how your first week is going to be then I can’t even begin to imagine how bad things will be going forward. You three aren’t saving this place at all. You’re ruining it, and that shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody.
Drake King: Ryan, I understand that you’re frustrated, but maybe you should’ve considered not wasting your match opportunity on a Championship match if you believed New Eden had a chance of taking control of Voltage. This place should never have been about these stupid titles, and if you really had any passion for wrestling you’d only care about one thing. Not an Extreme Elimination Chamber, not an EAW Championship, but an opportunity to simply get inside of the ring and show the world what you’re capable of, just like you’ll be doing tonight. I couldn’t care less about what Captain Charisma gave you or why he gave you that opportunity. The Extreme Elimination Chamber is not happening, and that’s final.
Ryan Wilson: That’s final? So you’re just going to take away the match I used my opportunity on, and you expect me to just be okay with that? After all the work I put in to earn that opportunity in the first place, you want me to just accept that?
(Ryan finally enters the ring and walks up to Drake, but Drake puts his hand out in front of him.)
Drake King: Ryan, if you touch me I will fire you.
(Ryan puts his hand into a fist, and just to see if he’s bluffing Ryan comes close to punching Drake, but he ends up thinking better of it, deciding not to touch Drake after all, and instead rolling out of the ring and slowly beginning to make his way up the ramp. Before walking up the ramp though, he turns around to Drake and begins to speak again.)
Ryan Wilson: You and New Eden are going to pay for this.
Drake King: :francis: A threat.
(Drake just shakes his head before continuing, clearly not amused with Ryan.)
Drake King: Alright Ryan, since tensions are clearly high I’m going to give you some time to calm down. Next week, you’re banned from Voltage.
(Hearing this only makes Ryan Wilson even more upset. He goes to speak again, but he ends up deciding against it, choosing to just walk up the ramp and make his way to the back instead.)
Persephone: Great… First they ban swear words, now we’re down a Chamber, even though those are like.. Some of the most violent matches of the year.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson did cut Drake off, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s one of the reasons why the match was banned. As weird as it is to say this though, we’re definitely on the same page. I hate the changes that are being made, and I don’t think I agree with what Drake said whatsoever. I don’t expect to get used to this anytime soon.
Rich Russillo: I feel bad for Ryan Wilson. He used his match opportunity for that Chamber, and now the entire Chamber match was just taken away. Now Ryan’s going to be banned from Voltage next week!?
Persephone: New Eden’s Voltage is off to a horrible start if you ask me.
James Peters: That’s right, but for what it’s worth, we do have a match coming up next. Hopefully that’ll be able to distract us from… Whatever just happened.
(‘Cold War’ plays once again, and the crowd just continues booing at Drake, who’s still inside of the ring. From there, Voltage begins to fade out, and transition to the first commercial break of the night.)
(Promotional ad for EAW 2K22, in stores now!)
(Sunday Night Voltage then fades back to the arena where the camera shows Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring. She has a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Forever’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to the loud cheers of the arena upon seeing Kelin make his way out from the backstage area. He struts out to the center of the stage with a smirk on his face while he scans the EAW Universe in attendance and hypes them up as he does so. He then looks towards the ring, making his way down the ramp from there.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Yoakum, Texas… weighing in at 218 pounds… ‘THE SHOW STEALER’… KELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well here comes Kelin, who we last saw in the ring at Wicked Games. He participated in the fatal five way with Jay Jerry Johnson, Kirk Redwood, The Woogieman, & Lucas Johnson. Ultimately, despite the valiant effort put on, Kel came up short in his efforts to Jay.
James Peters: It must’ve been a hard pill to swallow, and I bet this really sets the tone for Kelin’s approach heading into this match. He’s hungrier than ever and looking to redeem himself against someone who he happened to face last week as well. Let’s see if that drive can translate into success for ‘The Show Stealer.’
Persephone: God, I hate how both of you have an iota of faith for each and every person that comes into this company no matter who they are. Next thing you know Sennto Muerto is going to make his return and both of you are going to be like, “GREAT potential, let’s see if he can win!” No, he’s going to lose.
(Kel makes his way up the steel steps, looking out to the crowd while pointing towards the abyss before he steps onto the apron and enters into the ring. He then turns around and begins to make his way up to the top rope, posing with a grin on his face before he jumps down and begins to make his way towards his corner from there. ‘Forever’ then begins to come to a close while Kel gets prepared for the match at hand.)
(‘If Ya Smell’ by Adam Massacre then begins to play up to the absolutely deafening AND thunderous roar of applause from the EAW Universe in attendance tonight at the Liacouras Center. From there, metaphorically coming from the clouds, literally from the backstage area, out comes The Woogieman. He looks up into the sky, pleased that everyone is indeed smelling what he is cooking, while he begins to jump around at the center of the stage. He warms up his limbs, flexing his muscles while Bella Braxton falls head over heels inside the ring, before he makes his way down the ramp from there.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida… weighing in at 260 pounds… THE GREATEST ELITIST TO EVER STEP FOOT IN ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING… THE WOOGIEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: :mjcry: What an amazing sight we’re witnessing tonight folks. I think we can say this together. FINALLY, THE WOOG HAS COME BACK… HOME!!!
James Peters: Home indeed, HIS brand. And I don’t think we’re ready for what he has in store for us this week knowing the type or competitor he is inside the ring. He’s prolific and multifaceted, someone that would make Mr. DEDEDE cry and question his existence. He’s about to whoop some candy ass tonight!
Persephone: You two really are some fu-… Some losers. I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt since you sit next to me and my influence rubs off on everyone, but I guess even that’s insufficient by the looks of it. SAD!
(Woogie then steps onto the apron, looking out while he makes his way towards the top turnbuckle. He makes his way up to the high risk area, fearless as ever, while he raises his arm in the air with a smile on his face. The crowd continues to fawn over the living legend himself while he jumps off the top and inside to the ring. The camera shows Bella nearly tripping while she makes her way out of the ring while she checks him out, before Woogie makes his way towards his corner. He gets ready for the match at hand while ‘If Ya Smell’ begins to come to a close from there, before the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, a match of legendary proportions is officially underway! Kel is beginning to make his way towards the center of the ring, looking to start this match off properly with a lockup. BUT WOOGIE ISN’T HERE FOR THAT, LOOK AT HIM IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO UNWIND WITH PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TO THE FACE OF KEL! BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! WOOGIE IS LAYIN’ THE SHOWDOWN TONIGHT IN THIS MATCH!
James Peters: Woogie is absolutely going ham right now while he forces Kel against the ropes, before sending him into an Irish whip! WOOGIE GOING FOR A JUMPING SHOULDER TACKLE! But before that can happen, Kel manages to slide under it just in time and avoid trouble! Woogie drops down to the canvas but quickly gets back up to his feet while Kel mirrors him, BUT KEL IS FASTER MANAGING TO GRAB WOOGIE’S ARM AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH AN ARM DRAG!
Persephone: For a second there, I thought this dude was going to have a problem against The “fRiCkIn” Woogieman. It would’ve been like Sebastian Garcia all over again, that guy was a complete dork.
Rich Russillo: Kel keeps a hold of his arm before bringing him back up to his feet, BEFORE PULLING WOOGIE IN AND CONNECTING WITH A SINGLE-LEGGED ENZUIGIRI! Woogie is taken down to the ground but almost immediately manages to get himself up to a seated position as well. Kel runs behind him, to the ropes and back, BEFORE GOING FOR ‘HEAD-KNOCKER!’ THE SINGLE-LEGGED DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF WOOGIE’S HEAD CONNECTS!
James Peters: NO! Woogie manages to move out of the way just in time and get back up to his feet, Kelin pops up to his feet as well, BUT WOOGIE KICKS HIM IN THE GUT BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! WOOGIE KEEPS AHOLD OF HIM, PINNING HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT IN A SEAMLESS TRANSITION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: Unsurprisingly, Kelin gets the shoulder up.
Rich Russillo: Woogie is right back up to his feet, grabbing Kel by his arm before sending him to the corner with an Irish whip! Kel is backed up, WHILE WOOGIE RUNS FORWARD AIMING FOR HIS HEAD WITH A CLOTHESLINE! But before that can happen, Kel manages to escape and slip through the ropes and onto the apron! Kel throwing a punch to the face of Woogie to send him back, but Woogie grabs the punch and sends a punch back, TAKING KEL’S HEAD AND THROWING HIM OVER THE TOP AND BACK TO THE INSIDE OF THE RING!
James Peters: Kel gripping his back in pain while he quickly rolls towards the bottom rope in hopes of recovering, WHILE WOOGIE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND GOES FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE TO SEND HIM OUT OF THE RING! But before that can happen Kel manages to roll out of the way and get himself back into the ring, GRABBING WOOGIE BY HIS HEAD BEFORE HE CAN SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AND PICKING HIM UP FOR A BRUTAL GERMAN SUPLEX!
Persephone: Woogie was stupid enough to let himself slide out of the ring like he was on ice, that’s a whole new level of “special” right there :francis:.
Rich Russillo: Woogie is slowly beginning to rise to his feet, but it looks like Kel is waiting for him and looking to strike right here with another move to take Woogie down to the ground. Kel running to the ropes and back, BEFORE GRABBING WOOGIE AND LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A EXCELLENT SLING BLADE! BUT IN AN INSTANT IT’S WOOGIE THAT MANAGES TO COUNTER BEFORE LIFTING KEL OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BRUTAL OLYMPIC SLAM!
James Peters: Woogie is clearly trying to shake off the pain that he’s going through right now, before slowly making his way towards the turnbuckle padding. Woogie is patiently waiting in the corner, lying in wait for Kel to get himself up to his feet. Predictably, Woogie has Kel right where he wants him! WOOGIE RUNNING FORWARD LOOKING TO CUT KEL IN HALF WITH A BRUTAL SPEAR THAT WOULD MAKE DEDEDE JEALOUS!
Persephone: Wouldn’t be shocked, not going to lie to you I don’t think DEDEDE is really that good at wrestling anyways. That’s why he’s a part-timer who is too busy committing tax fraud.
Rich Russillo: BUT KEL TURNS THE SPEAR INTO A DDT THAT SPIKES WOOGIE DOWN TO THE GROUND! Woogie bounces off the canvas but is is beginning to get himself up to his feet, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE’S MET WITH A FOREARM SMASH THAT DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND THANKS TO KEL! Woogie attempts to stumble up to his feet again, BUT KEL DROPS HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER FOREARM FOR HIS TROUBLES! Kel now looking to finish off the trifecta attack, LIFTING WOOGIE UP AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A BRAINBUSTER!
James Peters: Kel falls against the corner, collecting himself before beginning his ascension up to the top turnbuckle, looking to fly off the top and crush Woogie who is still down trying to get his bearings. Kel is perched on the top rope, bracing himself with a determined look on his face, LAUNCHING OFF WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO WOOGIE!
Persephone: But nope. Crack, there goes Kelin’s ribs, better get him to a hospital, and get a video of it too for me!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! WOOGIE MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP! Kel flies 10 feet up in the air before tumbling down to the canvas, clearly in a world of hurt while he staggers up to his feet. WOOGIE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND IN RESPONSE AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN EMPHATIC SPINEBUSTER! AND I THINK WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING UP NEXT, THE BIG ONE!
(Woogie finds himself standing over Kel, the crowd absolutely raucous while they hype the GOAT up. Woogie kicks Kel in the head, before he begins to peel off his elbow pad. He takes it off his arm, before throwing it into the crowd while it turns into a mosh pit trying to grab it. Woogie, is ready to finish this match off for good.)
James Peters: WOOGIE RUNNING THE ROPES! AND BACK! TO THE ROPES! AND BACK! TO THE ROPES! AND BACK! TO THE ROPES! AND BACK! TO THE ROPES! AND BACK! HE’S GOING FOR ‘THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW!’
Persephone: God they’re being trampled in that crowd, over a elbow pad? That’s a new low for the idiots that watch us live week after week, but oh fucking well.
Rich Russillo: WAIT! WAIT! KEL WITH THE BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE TO COUNTER BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT! THE FINISHING MANEUVER CONNECTS FLUSH AGAINST THE SKULL OF THE WOOGIEMAN AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES! KEL DROPPING DOWN AND HOOKING THE LEG, WILL THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Forever’ once again begins to play up while Kelin slowly gets himself up to his feet away from The Woogieman after the pin attempts. He’s exasperated for a moment, taking some time to collect himself, before he begins to rise up to his feet with a smirk on his face. The referee then begins to make their way over, checking on Kel before they raise his hand up in the air, Kel just taking a moment to bask in it all before he begins his victory celebration.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… KELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: :mjcry: Woogie no… a valiant effort being shown by the very obvious EAW Hall of Famer tonight, but unfortunately, that was proven not to be enough to fend off the absolutely despicable Kelin tonight. Who is solely responsible for crushing children’s dreams tonight by pinning their hero to the mat.
Rich Russillo: Well regardless, Kel walks out with his pride and another win under his belt. Valiant effort by both, but nonetheless, congratulations go mostly to Kel for standing tall!
(As Kelin continues to celebrate, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Commercial for promoting Candice Blair’s cover of‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ by Mariah Carey.)
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke hits, and a mixed reaction is given as Chris Elite begins to walk out, but the mixed reaction turns into boos for the most part as he’s joined by Jake Smith. Neither of them pay much attention to the boos as they make their way towards the ring, especially because it appears that they’re both holding microphones in their hands, clearly prepared to say something following their appearance back on Dynasty.)
James Peters: Jake Smith and Chris Elite are here, and it looks like they have something on their minds tonight! We saw them on Dynasty as they confronted the Unified Tag Team Champions Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams, and I’m interested in seeing what happens tonight.
Persephone: Me too. Watching Chris try not to say a single swear should be pretty funny. :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Well, either way I’m sure these two are going to get whatever they have to say off their chests. We heard what the Unified Tag Team Champions had to say, and I don’t think things are finished just yet!
(Jake Smith and Chris Elite finally enter the ring, and Chris Elite begins to speak first as the crowd quiets down.)
Chris Elite: A few days ago we went to Dynasty to confront the Unified Tag Team Champions, and better yet, give everyone in attendance a good look at your next set of Champions. All of y’all should already know that there’s no way in hell we came all this way just to lose to those two, but to no one’s surprise, Harlow and Xavier are already starting their narratives and trying to write us off. They’re already trying to dismiss our chances of dethroning them, and it’s really funny. It’s funny because they seem to think that just because they managed to get away with this stuff in the past, they can go into their match with us expecting a guaranteed victory. It’s funny because they’re keeping the same energy they had with a bunch of bums with a team that actually works. It’s seriously wild that those two had the nerve to approach us the same way they would with anyone else after what Jake and I accomplished together. Their competition in the past has been absolutely nothing compared to us. They all were either not even half the team we were, or had not even a quarter of the talent. I really don’t give a-
(Jake looks at Chris, and Chris just rolls his eyes before continuing.)
Chris Elite: ..I don’t care what they think about my usage of the Gawd Contract when I’m still Chris Elite. ALONE I’m better than every single team they defended their titles against, so imagine having to defend against the two of us together and still getting ahead of yourselves like that? When the two of us face Harlow and Xavier for the Unified Tag Team Championships, their streak of luck is coming to an end.
Jake Smith: I’ll admit, those two were levels above every single team they faced… But it’s not really difficult being levels above mediocre competition. :mjlol:
(The crowd boos for a bit, but Jake continues to speak anyway.)
Jake Smith: I’m going to enjoy taking those Championships from Harlow and Xavier, because I have a chip on my shoulder heading into this match, and no, it’s not just because of my history with those two. It’s not just because of what happened last time I was in the ring with them, or any of the previous times. It’s because this isn’t my first time competing for the Unified Tag Team Championships, and every single time I’ve competed for those titles, I failed. I’ve competed for those Championships THREE times, AND I competed in the Grand Prix tournament a year ago, and not once could I get what I wanted. Not once could I add a Unified Tag Team Championship reign to my resume, but this time around things will be different. I’m not the same man I was when I first set my sights on the Unified Tag Team Championships, and this time around my partner isn’t a bunch of dead weight that never had what it took to succeed in the first place. Now that I have a partner that can not only carry his weight, but go the distance and get the job done, I know that we have what it takes to become the new Unified Tag Team Champions.
Chris Elite: I know exactly what it’s like too. Last time I won a tag team tournament, I didn’t even get my opportunity to challenge for the titles.
Jake Smith: Right 😅..
Chris Elite: But, this time there’s not gonna be anyone bailing Harlow and Xavier out. No sh…. I mean, no stupid stable to take me out of action before I could capitalize off of the opportunity I gained. Nothing’s going to stop me from adding “Unified Tag Team Champion” to my resume, and once that’s there, I’ll be one step closer to adding “Grand Slam” to it too. That’s really not something just anyone accomplishes and both Harlow and Xavier should already recognize that, but instead they’d rather walk into this match expecting it to be like just any little title defense. They expect it to be nothing special, and who is that really hurting here? Not us. No matter what they wanna say or how they’ll be entering our match, we’re gonna walk out of it the new Tag Champs.
Jake Smith: We’ve already proven that we can work together perfectly fine on more than one occasion. People doubted us as soon as we became a team, and now we’re the winners of the first ever tag team turmoil tournament. We’re both in the best shape of our careers and we’ll only continue to prove that going forward. We want this more than ever, so we really don’t care what Harlow and Xavier have to say. We don’t care what they bring to the table that makes them any different than the competition we just beat to get to this position. When it’s all said and done, the Haircare Kings will be the new Unified Tag Team Champions.
(‘Stop Breathing (Alternate Intro)’ by the greatest artist to ever live hits, and both Jake and Chris prepare to make their way out of the ring as the crowd gives them a mixed reaction.)
James Peters: Well, there you have it. These two are clearly very confident in their chances in becoming Champions, and I’m not exactly surprised about that.
Rich Russillo: Well, can you blame them? You don’t have to like how they did it, but at the end of the day, these two are the winners of the tag team turmoil tournament. They have every right to be confident. When it comes down to it, there’s a very good chance that these two might just be the next Tag-
(‘The Beginning’ by ONE OK ROCK hits before Rich could even finish his sentence, and the entire arena begins cheering as Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell make their way out to the stage. Jake and Chris are still inside of the ring right in front of the ropes, and they’re not too happy being interrupted just as they were about to leave. Mary and Rebecca both have microphones in their hands and grins on their faces, and it doesn’t take long for them to begin speaking.)
Mary S. Atlas: You two aren’t the only ones that had a big tag team win these past few weeks. In fact, Rebecca and I just captured a victory over a team that competed for the Unified Tag Team Champions back at the beginning of the season. The two of us have been great together, and while things didn’t go our way at Wicked Games, back at House of Glass we proved our own words right. We proved that we had what it took to succeed as a tag team.
Chris Elite: :francis:
Jake Smith: :comeagain: So what?
Rebecca Blackwell: So.. I think we should be considered for a Unified Tag Team Championship opportunity. We didn’t win the Tag Team Turmoil Tournament like you guys did, but the two of us had just gotten started as a team back when we were eliminated from it. Since then we’ve improved, we wiped out Lisa Wren and Kensi, and we’ve competed in a bunch of insane stipulation matches week after week. We’ve proven ourselves time and time again in a way that most of the teams in this division still haven’t, and I think the things we’ve done together make us deserving of an opportunity. An opportunity we’d have even more reason to have, if we defeat the two of you.
(The crowd begins cheering even louder than before after hearing Rebecca, but Jake and Chris still don’t look amused.)
Chris Elite: So you want a match? That’s what this is?
Mary S. Atlas: Yes. We want a match against the two of you next week, and when that match happens and MaryBecca gets the victory, there won’t be any denying that the next Unified Tag Team Champions shouldn’t be the two of you. The next Tag Team Champions, and the ones that should be ending Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams’ Championship reign, are us.
(‘The Beginning’ begins to hit once more as the crowd continues cheering, and Jake and Chris just look annoyed by MaryBecca, as the two women slowly begin to make their way back to the backstage area.)
James Peters: Well it looks like we might just have a match made for next week!
Persephone: Ugh. Voltage is run by different people and we still have a bunch of garbage, bland matches. Only now there’s probably no chance of matches like this getting a stipulation or something like that.
Rich Russillo: Well, I for one am excited to see what happens next week. I just know that this should be good!
Persephone: We’ll see about that. All I know is I’m not getting my hopes up.
(The final shot is Jake and Chris still inside of the ring, speaking amongst each other as ‘The Beginning’ continues to play, before finally Voltage begins to fade away from the area.)
(Camera fades backstage to Sofia Clarke who is standing next to a dejected Lucas Johnson.)
Sofia Clarke: I’m standing here alongside my guest at this time, Lucas Johnson. Now Lucas, you had a rough going these last couple of weeks. I know this isn’t the outcome that you wanted, or expected, but I have to ask; where do you go from here?
(Lucas takes a deep breath and exhales.)
Lucas Johnson: Yeah, not the way I wanted this to go at all obviously. I didn’t expect to enter the home stretch of the year with back to back losses. Especially when there was so much potential for what these past two weeks could’ve been. Wicked Games had left a bad taste in my mouth, but losing the New Breed Championship on top of it, just makes everything that much worse. I was going to put Wicked Games behind me, because Reasonable Doubt was going to be my bounce back. So, back to back FPV losses, and this last one losing to Amir with the New Breed Championship on the line.. It hurts. It hurts, more than I’d like to admit. I thought this was it. A full circle moment where I recapture that Championship that legitimized my time here in EAW. I put all my eggs in that basket, and I left with nothing. So what do I do now? Quite honestly I’m not sure. I have to be honest with myself, there’s really no championship for me to chase at this point, so all I can think about is starting over from scratch. As much as I do hate to admit that, it just sucks. Training your mind into that championship mode, where there is no losing. The one outcome I ran over and over in my mind was me leaving that match as New Breed Champion.. But here we are, another letdown. As down as I am about it though, this isn’t the end for Lucas Johnson. Like I said I’m starting over from scratch, and it’s nothing I haven’t been able to do before. I am going to take every single chance, every single opportunity and make the most of it. People always see me as down and out, with no chance, even when I’m in championship matches. So what do I have to lose? Nothing. I wasn’t New Breed Champion before that match, and I’m not champion now. So all I have to say is that I am sorry for whoever I am stepping in the ring with next, because they are stepping into a buzzsaw. Starting this week, it’s the come up. It’s me crawling back into the championship picture. No one is safe, I won’t stop until I am once again standing on top as a champion.
(Clapping can be heard from off camera, as the clapping comes closer, we see it’s Jay Jerry Johnson with a smug look on his face. As Lucas drops his head in annoyance)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Nicely said, very well put. I feel a tear coming on, I was so moved by what you said; very inspirational. It was SO good, that you almost made me believe every word that you said… ALMOST. Look I told you that you weren’t going to win. You embarrassed our name, the Johnson name is supposed to be proud, successful, strike fear into people, and you have ruined it. Over the years you have chipped away any amount of respect it could have. I’m trying to build it back up though. You’ve become predictable Lucas. What happened at Wicked Games, what happened at Reasonable Doubt. Predictable. Uh, what?
(Lucas Johnson is seen with a quite angry face)
Jay Jerry Johnson: What’s wrong? You seem upset. Is this still about losing the New Breed Championship match? My God, get over it already. Look no one thought you were going to win, I told you that you weren’t. Why didn’t you listen to me? I’m a very trustworthy person. Like remember when you were kinda bragging about “pushing those ex World Champions to the limit”, and I told you that you sounded pretty stupid. Remember? I told you that it didn’t matter, because you didn’t actually win. Your interpretation of those matches were not wrapped up in reality? Remember when I said that? Why didn’t you listen to me? It would’ve made this inevitable L to Amir, that much easier to handle for you. Right now, you’re in the exact same situation you were back then. With nothing! Well, actually not the same exact situation, because back then you actually had a glimmer of hope, whereas now you don’t even have that. It must really be a giant burden to wake up in the morning, and look in the mirror only to have Lucas Johnson staring back at you. Right now, you have nothing to look forward to. At least back then you had that hope that you could lean on, but now? I can’t even say you have that. Let’s look at the current situation shall we? Worst case scenario right now, you’re starting over right? Which isn’t so bad for you now that I think about it, seeing as you should be used to it by now. Starting over that is. You keep racking up all these championship losses, the only place you have to stand is the bottom. You can build a graveyard to all your hopes and dreams that you’ve killed at this point. So why is it coming as a shock to you, that once again, you don’t have what it takes to cut it?
(Lucas just rolls his eyes)
Lucas Johnson: What is the point of this? What purpose could you possibly have to interrupt my interview? Everyone knows what happened, your commentary isn’t necessary.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh but it is… You were one of the people that I beat at Wicked Games, and at the time, you were the top contender for the New Breed Championship. I would love to know when I’m going to get my shot at that belt. You know what? Excuse me..
(Triple J pushes his way in front of Lucas, and gets positioned in front of the camera, so Lucas isn’t visible. You can see Lucas throw his arms in the air in frustration)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Amir, I know you’re listening, so listen closely. This bum over here couldn’t beat you, and that was expected. I already beat him, so why he had a shot at you before I did is inexcusable, but at this point it is what it is. You beat him, I beat him, so I guess the time has come for you to stop ducking me. How about you get a real challenger to your title? Stop messing around, and grow some testicles.. And that is not a swear so I’m good!
(Lucas pushes Triple J out of frame of the camera)
Lucas Johnson: Will you get out of here! This isn’t the time for you to try and weasel your way into something. Kid, let me tell you something; you may think you have it figured out around here, but it’s going to take one match for you to get knocked back down to reality real quick. I know I lost, but that isn’t indicative to my talents, but rather how good of a competitor Amir is. You’re not going to hijack my interview to start this little campaign you want to start here.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh whatever, you had your shot, and you lost. You can’t hold onto the spotlight any longer.. Not that it was much of a spotlight in the first place. No one cares about what you have going on next; because we know it’s not going to impact the show whatsoever. It’s time to make new stars, it’s time for you to get out of the way, and it’s time for me to take what is mine. Lucas, get out of my camera shot. It’s my turn to get a shot at the New Breed Championship, and the longer we focus in on your wallowing in self pity, the more the ratings will go down. I am going to be the one who brings the New Breed Championship back to Voltage. You know the thing you said you would do, but failed? This is how you make a promise and back it up Lucas. See sometimes when people make proclamations, people take them seriously, because they actually back up what they say. You have lost all credibility whenever you speak because you never seem to come through with anything that you ever say. We’re just built differently. So enough with what you’re going to do next, because we can’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth. We don’t care anymore; so again, get out of my camera shot, it’s me time. I am going to be the next New Breed Champion.
(Lucas just nods his head, and sarcastically responds)
Lucas Johnson: Yeah, good luck with that.
(Triple J shakes his head in response)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Luck?! Lucas.. I’m not you buddy, I don’t need luck; I have talent..
(Triple J pats Lucas on the shoulder and walks away. Lucas is left seething in front of the camera, as it fades to black)
(The camera cuts to the center of the ring where Bella Braxton is ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: This next contest is scheduled for….ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Nothing Helps” by ONE OK ROCK starts to play as Mary S. Atlas enters the arena to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! Making her way to the ring, she is from St. Louis, Missouri. Weighing in at 125 pounds, she is the “Most Wanted” MARY S. ATLAS!
(Mary makes her way to the ring, completely focused on the match at hand.)
James Peters: Here is one young lady who is on a mission. She isn’t exactly in the best of moods because of everything that went on at Wicked Games. She didn’t exactly win the Specialists Championship, but she came closer than anybody gave her credit for.
Persephone: Call it what you want, she still screwed up and went home empty handed. What else is new?
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas is a very determined competitor and she is looking to get back on track with a victory here tonight.
James Peters: But she needs to bring her A-Game tonight because her opponent is no pushover.
(Mary enters the ring and takes her corner as “Nothing Helps” fades off. After a few moments of silence, “New World Torture” by While She Sleeps starts to play as Alex Myers enters the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT! They are from Seattle, Washington. They weigh in at 170 pounds. They are “THE FORGOTTEN MORTAL” ALEX MYERS!
Rich Russillo: While Mary S. Atlas didn’t have the best of nights at Wicked Games, her opponent Alex Myers is on the other end of that spectrum. They defeated Danny Tanner at Wicked Games in a great matchup.
Persephone: More like one of the most boring matches on the card. Now they are back again and looking to bore the masses with their aura of boring.
James Peters: Alex Myers is hoping to keep the momentum going with another victory here tonight against a familiar foe in Mary S. Atlas. If they win tonight, it could go a long way in getting noticed.
(Alex enters the ring and takes their corner. The referee checks both opponents before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! This match is underway and there will be no feeling out process between these two. This is the second time that Mary and Alex have faced each other in singles action. Last time they fought was before Bloodsport when Alex defeated Mary to become Number One Contender for the New Breed Title.
Persephone: Now we have to see it again? Good grief. We didn’t want it the first time and we sure as h… as sure can be that we don’t want to watch it this time either.
Rich Russillo: Either way, it’s going on now. Alex and Mary locked up in the center of the ring as Alex uses their strength over Mary moving her into a side headlock. Mary trying to break free as Alex tightens the hold.
Persephone: I miss the bloodshed already. I think we need more, but blonde girl elbows demon thing in the gut and whips them to the ropes. She tried to match power with Alex but gets taken down with a shoulder tackle by Alex like a total idiot.
Rich Russillo: It’s killing you not to call these Elitists what you really want to isn’t it?
Persephone: More than you can imagine. No cussing and I don’t have a spiked drink, so this is torture. It’s almost like quitting cold turkey.
James Peters: As Persephone is considering rehab, Alex hits the ropes as Mary makes it back to her knees. Alex with a rolling basement dropkick sending Mary tumbling out to the floor, but she grabs the bottom rope. Mary on the ring apron, BUT ALEX CATCHES HER WITH A HEADBUTT RIGHT ON TARGET! MARY TUMBLES TO THE FLOOR! Now Alex is on the apron as Mary gets back to her feet.
Rich Russillo: Alex looks ready to deliver an apron kick, BUT MARY DUCKS AT THE LAST SECOND! Mary grabs the legs of Alex and pulls them off the apron. ALEX BOUNCES FACE FIRST OFF THE APRON AS HE HITS THE FLOOR! MARY GOING FOR A ROLLING ELBOW, BUT ALEX DUCKS AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP! MARY LANDING HARD BACK FIRST ON THE FLOOR!
James Peters: Mary’s back can’t be fully recovered from her match with Miku Sakai, but we don’t know. ALEX WITH A DROPKICK TO THE SPINE OF MARY! MARY in pain as Alex brings her back to her feet. Alex puts Mary in a powerbomb position looking to cause maximum damage early in the match. POWERBOMB OFF THE APRON, BUT MARY COUNTERS SENDING ALEX INTO THE RING APRON!! ALEX HIT THROAT FIRST! THAT’S GOTTA HURT!
Persephone: No shocker there. Anybody with half a brain could have seen that one coming from her. Not only was it telegraphed, but it was also sent by Pony Express. Mary rolls demon thing back into the ring. Mary with an elbow before going for a quick cover.
Rich Russillo: It didn’t work as Alex gets the shoulder up before the count even starts. Now Mary with a boot on the throat of Alex Myers.
Referee: (off-mic) GET YOUR FOOT OFF THROAT! BREAK IT NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI—
Rich Russillo: Referee admonishing Mary for the illegal boot on the throat. Why would someone so sweet use such dirty tactics?
Persephone: Because she’s a moron and doesn’t know how to win the right way. That Rebecca Blackwell is a horrible influence. Then again, they’re both stupid so I really don’t care.
James Peters: Atlas still has the advantage as she brings Myers to their feet and whips them into the ropes. DISCUS ELBOW HITS THE MARK THIS TIME RIGHT IN THE FACE! ALEX ON THEIR KNEES AND MARY WITH A LOW ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! ALEX FALLS AND MARY GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOO—
Rich Russillo: Myers out before two! Mary didn’t like that and throws back to the mat by the hair! The referee telling Mary to stay off the hair. I’m not sure if that’s going to work.
Persephone: Well duh! When we’re talking about that blonde thing, the lights are on, but nobody is home. She’s probably jealous that Alex has blonde hair that looks more natural than hers. Petty little hussy.
James Peters: Can you be nice? Mary hits the ropes, and she GOES FOR A LEG DROP, BUT ALEX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! MARY WON’T SPRAIN AN ANKLE THE WAY SHE LANDED! Alex back to their feet as well as Mary. ALEX GRABS MARY! HOOKS THE LEG AND DELIVERS A BEAUTIFUL FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! THAT WAS ALMOST A BRAINBUSTER! MARY ALMOST SPIKED ON HER HEAD! ALEX KEEPS THE LEG HOOKED AND BRIDGES UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRREEEEE—
Rich Russillo: MARY KICKS OUT! She got knocked a bit loopy after that fisherman’s suplex. She didn’t have a good landing, but Alex really doesn’t care that much. They want to get themself back in the title hunt with a victory.
Persephone: What do you mean title hunt? None of that’s going to happen for the next 23 days. Such a nitwit. Now Demon Thing is still clutching at their throat a little bit, but I don’t think they care that much. It might sting, but isn’t this one of the many weirdos on this show that loves pain? Demon Thing brings Blonde Thing back to her feet and whips her into the corner. Where’s the bloodshed?
James Peters: I hate to break it to you, but I highly doubt that it will happen in this match. Mary in the corner and ALEX MYERS WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF MARY! HOLY MOLY! MARY JUST DROPPED! ALEX BRINGS HER BACK UP AND HITS HER WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Persephone: Demon thing really needs to stop that. Another one of those and we won’t see bloodshed. We’re gonna see a silicone leak. :mjlol: :mjlol:
James Peters: I don’t know what to do with you. Maybe New Eden does. Alex Myers picks Mary back up again to her feet and they climb the ropes. Alex standing on the second rope and goes to punch Mary.
Crowd: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIG—
Rich Russillo: MARY STOPS ALEX!! Alex tried to go for the ten punches in the corner, but they couldn’t get them all. MARY GRABS ALEX AND COUNTERS WITH A POWERBOMB OUT OF THE CORNER! MARY STACKS UP ALEX FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHRREEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS KICKS OUT! ALEX MYERS ALMOST GOT CAUGHT, BUT MARY HAD THE WELL AWARE TO COUNTER AND GET A MOMENT TO RECOVER! But Alex Myers is still a bit quicker back to their feet. Mary doesn’t have enough time to recover AS ALEX MYERS DELIVERS THOSE KICKS TO THE CHEST OF MARY S. ATLAS! LISTEN TO THE CROWD AS EACH KICK IS DELIVERED!
Crowd: (off-mic) YES! *KICK* YES! *KICK* YES! *KICK* YES! *KICK* YES! *KICK* YES! *KICK*
Persephone: Why is the crowd chanting YES? I don’t get it! New Eden needs to get these arenas to stop serving alcohol to these fans and start giving it to me. The only way I’m going to survive these shows is staying half lit. Anyways, Demon thing went for another one of those stupid kicks as Blonde thing ducks the last one and tries to roll them up.
Rich Russillo: Alex caught for a second, but they roll through and make it back to their feet. Mary isn’t aware of what happened quick enough before ALEX DELIVERS A KICK RIGHT TO HER FACE! MARY TOOK ALL OF THAT KICK! HER HANDS WERE DOWN AND SHE LOOKS STUNNED WITH THAT FAR AWAY LOOK IN HER EYES!
Persephone: That isn’t anything new. She’s always had that look on her face. You should notice the product more often. Demon Thing just dimmed whatever lights were still on in her head. They should just go for the cover and end this stupid mat show.
James Peters: That probably would have been enough to finish her off, but Myers is electing to not go for the cover. Instead, they turn Mary over. Alex crosses the legs of Mary and grabs her neck and ROLLS HER INTO THE BOW AND ARROW BACKBREAKER!
Rich Russillo: I normally believe Alex Myers uses it as a quick backbreaker move, but this time, they are using it as a submission maneuver. ALEX IS BENDING MARY LIKE A PRETZAL AND SHE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN! THE REF ASKING HER IF SHE WANTS TO GIVE IT UP, BUT MARY IS SCREAMING NO! MARY NEEDS TO FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS BECAUSE ALEX HAS BEEN FOCUSING ON THE BACK OF MARY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH!
James Peters: ALEX NEEDS TO WATCH OUT AS WELL! Alex needs to keep their shoulders off the mat, or they could find themselves in a pinning predicament if they aren’t careful. Right now, they are doing a pretty good job at preventing that.
Persephone: I think you spoke to soon, old man. Mary somehow kicked her brain on, and she manages to escape the hold. She falls on top of Alex and now has a pin cover. Something smart for the blonde thing.
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOO!!
THHHHRREEEEEEE—
James Peters: AND ALEX KICKS OUT AT TWO! You gotta give Mary credit. She found a way to get out of that hold and now she’s in control. She’s mounted Alex Myers and NOW SHE’S POUNDING AWAY AT THE SKULL OF ALEX MYERS!
Referee: (off-mic) OPEN THE FIST, MARY!! OPEN IT NOW!! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Rich Russillo: Mary opens the hand, but now she’s choking Alex around that throat that took damage earlier from the ring apron. The referee admonishes Mary again. This time lets her know that she is walking on thin ice. I think the last thing she wants to do is let her temper get the better of her and lose by getting disqualified.
Persephone: I say let her. If she wants to be stupid and cause herself to screw up again, more power to this moron. Blonde thing stops her ground attack and whips Demon thing to the ropes. Demon thing ducks a clothesline and hits a dropkick into the back of the knee of Blonde thing.
James Peters: Mary down and holding her knee as Alex hits the ropes again. Alex runs full speed AND DELIVERS BOTH KNEES TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL OF MARY! DOCTOR SLEEP BY ALEX MYERS CONNECTS!! MARY COULD BE OUT COLD AFTER THAT MOVE! ALEX ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!
THHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
Rich Russillo: HOLY SH… SHAGGY DOGS! MARY BARELY AND I MEAN BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP AFTER TAKING THE BLUNT OF DOCTOR SLEEP FROM ALEX! ALEX IS SHOCKED BUT ISN’T GETTING MAD!! MARY STILL ISN’T MOVING AS ALEX DRAGS HER TO THE CORNER! ALEX MYERS CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE AND CATCHES THEIR BALANCE! ALEX MOTIONS BEFORE FLYING! IF THEY HIT THIS, IT’S OVER!
James Peters: THEY MISSED! ALEX MYERS WAS SHOWING OFF TO THE CROWD FOR A SECOND SAYING THEY WERE GOING TO WIN. THEN THEY ATTEMPTED THE MOONSAULT AND THEY CRASHED AND BURNED!
Persephone: What an idiot! Why would they show off to these losers before trying to finish off an opponent? How stupid could one person be? They had the match won and now they could have ruined their chanced of winning.
Rich Russillo: BOTH WRESTLERS ARE DOWN AND THE REF HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO START THE TEN COUNT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
James Peters: They weren’t moving at the start of the count, but at the count of six, both are finally starting to stir.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
James Peters: MARY PULLS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AT EIGHT! SHE IS BARELY HANGING ON IN THE CORNER!
Referee: NINE! TE—
Rich Russillo: ALEX MYERS BACK UP RIGHT BEFORE THE TEN COUNT! Alex has their wits about them now after that missed moonsault and now they are running at full speed in the corner! Alex is going for the flying forearm smash, BUT MARY CATCHES THEM RIGHT IN THE JAW WITH THE ROLLING ELBOW! ALEX’S EYES LOOKED LIKE THEY ROLLED UP IN THE BACK OF THEIR HEAD, BUT THEY LAND IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: ALEX IS DAZED AND NOW MARY IS RUNNING AT FULL SPEED BACK INTO THE CORNER! BAM! THAT WAS A HELLUVA KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE! BEAUTIFUL COMBO ATTACK!! SECTUMSEMPRA INTO THE 9 MILES BY MARY S. ATLAS!! VERY CREATIVE! ALEX FALLS IN A HEAP AND MARY GOES FOR THE COVER! WHAT AN UPSET THIS WOULD BE!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: ALEX GRABS THE ROPES! VERY SMART RING AWARENESS BY ALEX MYERS! MARY S. ATLAS JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT! SHE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY!
Persephone: She has nobody to blame in this situation but herself. If she would have pulled them a foot away from the corner, she would have won. But now the match continues because her ring awareness were not effective in that moment in time. So she has no right to throw a temper tantrum. Grow up!
James Peters: I rarely agree with you on some things, but I do agree with you on one part. If Mary would have drug Alex away from the ropes, this match would be over. Now she needs to get her head back in the game and try to win this match. It looks like she is back on track.
Rich Russillo: Mary is readjusting Alex in the corner and now it looks like it’s Mary’s turn to climb the ladder of opportunity to the top turnbuckle! She looks like she’s ready to finish the job right here and right now.
Persephone: Why do these Elitists always feel the need to finish the match with all this high-flying bull… bologna? No need to be flashy. Just get the job done.
James Peters: That’s because this is EAW! Everybody here has the “go big or go home” attitude. Big risks can equal big rewards. A perfect example is this young lady right now. Mary S. Atlas is going for it all. It looks like Mary is going for her version of the 630 Senton. MARY IS READY TO TAKE FLIGHT WITH 1996 AIRLINES! ATLAS IS READY FOR TAKEOFF AND HERE SHE GOES!!
Rich Russillo: AND MARY COULDN’T LEAVE THE RUNWAY AS ALEX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND MARY COMPLETELY MISSES THE SENTON! ANOTHER HIGH-FLYING MOVE BACKFIRES!
Persephone: These people need to listen to me more. I said it was going to happen and look at the result. It happened.
James Peters: MARY ONCE AGAIN LANDS ON HER BACK WHICH HAS TAKEN MOST OF THE DAMAGE IN THIS MATCH! NOW ALEX LOOKS READY TO STRIKE! Alex grabs the arms of Mary and puts themself in a crucifix. ALEX TILT A WHIRLS THEMSELF OUT AND HITS HER WITH THE LUNGBLOWER! FINAL SYMPHONY CONNECTS! MARY BOUNCED AT LEAST A FOOT IN THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING BACK ONTO THE CANVAS! DID MARY JUST HEAR HER FINAL SYMPHONY FOR THE NIGHT? ALEX MYERS HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEE!!
…
…
TWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
…
…
THHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEE!!!

…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“New World Torture” starts playing again to a mixed reaction as Alex Myers rolls off of Mary.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…ALEX MYERS!
James Peters: That was an amazing match from both of these up and coming competitors on Voltage. Both Alex and Mary looked to walk out of tonight with the victory, but it was “The Forgotten Mortal” who picks up the W on Voltage.
Persephone: Yeah. Yeah. Everybody lives ever after and we go on with our lives. The faster we do that, the better everything will be.
(Alex makes it back to their feet as the referee raises their arm in victory as Mary begins to stir.)
Rich Russillo: Don’t be such a Debbie Downer. We just witnessed a great contest from two wrestlers who could easily be the future of EAW. I give a lot of credit to Mary S. Atlas for the work she did in this match. She almost had the victory, but she made one crucial mistake at the end of the match.
James Peters: That’s right. Unfortunately for Mary, Alex had the awareness to take advantage of the mistake and put her down for the three count. Once again, congrats to Alex Myers for picking up the victory.
(The final shot shows Alex Myers heading up the ramp, proud of the job they did as Mary sits up a little disappointed in herself and scene fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Spider-Man: No Way Home. In theatres December 17th.)
(The camera cuts back to ringside as the shot stops in front of the commentary table. Persephone of course is not looking at all interested with this show.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Voltage. In just a few moments we will have our next match as J….
(James is cut off by the sound of “Age-Age Money” by LADYBABY playing as the Specialists Champion, Miku Sakai makes her way to the ring accompanied by a few of her Simp Army. The crowd is coming down on her with loud boos throughout the arena.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring at this time, the reigning EAW Specialists Champion, MIKU SAKAI!
Persephone: Why is she here? As if this night couldn’t get any worse. First, my Rexy still isn’t here to comfort me. Second, we can’t swear unless we wanna pay money…which I don’t. Now this little mini mutant is here. Is this show over yet?
(Miku Sakai instructs… more like yells at her simps to get on their hands and knees. She uses them both as a stepping stool to get into the ring.)
Rich Russillo: No, not yet. We still have a long way to go before the end of the show, but look at the confidence radiating from the Specialists Champion.
James Peters: I agree. This young lady might have a very bad attitude, but she has the skills to back it up in the ring. Two title defenses within what? A three week period. She’s trying to prove that she’s on her way to becoming one of the best Specialists Champions of all time. If you don’t believe us, just ask her. And it looks like the Specialists Champion has something to say.
(Miku enters the ring and forces Bella Braxton to give her the microphone not before strong arming Bella to get out of what she considers “her ring”. Not wanting to get on Miku’s bad side more than she already has, Bella exits the ring leaving Miku all alone in the ring ready to say what is on her mind.)
Miku Sakai: Are you guys at all surprised? I told all you simps that I would leave Wicked Games last week as the Specialists Champion and look at what I still have in my possession. If any of you thought that I was going to lose to the blonde bimbo, you guys are completely brainless! I made her pay for even stepping up to the champ.
Rich Russillo: She’s talking about Mary S. Atlas for those who aren’t sure. Mary challenged Miku in the special Trick or Treat match at Wicked Games.
Persephone: Fine her some money! Aren’t those considered swear words in the New Eden rulebook?
James Peters: I think they’ve ruled no on those two words.
Miku Sakai: Think about it, people, and try not to burst any few brain cells you have left. In my last two title defenses, my challengers have tried their best to take my title and to take me out for good. Well, I’m still here as your Specialists CHAMPION!
(Miku continues to absorb the jeers of the crowd before she continues to speak.)
Miku Sakai: After the Trick or Treat Match and the Exploding Barbed Wire Ladder Matches I competed in, it’s pretty safe to assume that right now I can safely declare myself as the GOAT SPECIALISTS CHAMPION of all time. Nobody can question how great I have been since I’ve won this title. If anybody has a problem with what I just said, I would love to see anybody try to prove me wrong!
(The crowd is now booing her out of the building with that remark.)
Rich Russillo: Listen to the crowd now. With many women on the list of former Specialists Champions and many contenders on that list for the GOAT, there are many people who are not going to be happy with what she just said.
Persephone: Oh who cares! These crybabies will get over it!
Miku Sakai: Now these blonde losers had a lot of nerve to even think that they deserve to be in the same ring as me. MaryBecca? What kind of stupid tag team name is that? The name matches the wrestling ability of the people in the team. Sad and Pathetic. They tried to gain respect around here, but all they did was look like morons. They know their place now and that is beneath me, but that is enough about those losers. How about that match last night at Reasonable Doubt to determine the Number One Contender for my title. Triple Threat no less.
(Miku stops for a second and completely starts laughing. She’s almost in hysterics before she takes a breath and continues.)
Miku Sakai: Look at who was in that match. Ayu Megumi? Yeah right. Ashley Flores? Even insulting her is being too nice. Then we have Harper Lee. Ohhh Harper Lee. The true definition of pathetic. Ever since she split away from that meal ticket of hers, she’s floundering worse than my simps whenever I post a picture to social media. I really wouldn’t call what she got a real victory. If I was in the same situation, the match wouldn’t have lasted two minutes. Harper Lee is the personification of a loser. Thrives against the lower ranks of EAW, but when it comes to the heavy hitters, she just can’t measure up. No wonder S….
(Now Miku is the one getting cut off as ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart starts to play as Harper Lee makes her way to the ring with a microphone in hand to more boos from the crowd. Miku has a look of intrigue on her face watching Harper come down the ramp.)
James Peters: Well this is an interesting development. Look who’s coming down to the ring. Showdown’s Harper Lee. It was just last night at Reasonable Doubt that Harper Lee defeated Ashley Flores and Ayu Megumi in a triple threat match to become the Number One Contender for the Specialists Title.
Persephone: Oh great! Another bi… person added to the mix and this one doesn’t even go here. This is going to be a long month. :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: But Harper Lee has no doubt been on a journey to claim her first singles title in EAW. Will she reach her goal against Miku Sakai? Will these two lay hands on each other? I guess we are about to find out.
(Harper Lee enters the ring and gets right in the face of the Specialists Champion.)
Harper Lee: Are you finished? Because you’ve only been talking for a few minutes and you’re already getting annoying.
Miku Sakai: Well look who’s here. I’m a little shocked that you decided to show your face on Voltage. I guess you need your weekly brush with greatness considering you’ll never get any greatness over your own that you have to mooch off of mine. I hate to break it to you, but I’m not accepting any more simps. Especially like you.
Harper Lee: I’m actually here to see what all the hype is with you now that you’re on your own. I’m not really impressed with what I see. Sure, you had something going when you were with Hikari Kanno, but now… I just don’t get it.
Miku Sakai: You shut your whore mouth! Look who’s talking. Did you really have the nerve to come on MY show and say you’re not impressed?
(Harper smirks and nods her head yes.)
Miku Sakai: Where do you get off? Have you not watched the programming since I’ve debuted? This year was my rookie year and I’m already a two time champion here. Which is more than what I can say about you….
Harper Lee: Excuse me? I’m a former champion in my own right.
Miku Sakai: Are you talking about that Tag Team Title reign of yours? Oh yeah. How could I forget about that? Considering that we BEAT you for those titles. Can you blame me for forgetting? That reign was FAR from memorable.
(Harper just rolls her eyes at Miku’s response, not saying anything back.)
Miku Sakai: Things hitting close to home? Well they should! Answer me this, Harper. Why in the world should I consider you a viable threat to my title reign? I am one of the fastest rising stars in EAW history. What about you? You bombed as a tag team competitor and now you’re struggling to find your place as a singles star and are quickly losing your footing and falling faster than you can even imagine.
Harper Lee: :skip: Really? Me, falling? How am I falling?
Miku Sakai: Let me count the ways, stupid. After The Realm lost the Tag Titles, you guys bottomed out. You guys lost to a team that included Mary S. Atlas of all people. After The Realm screws up, you dump her. Then you go from one bad relationship to another when you align yourself with that big beastly XV woman. That worked for a bit, then she smartened up to how big of a loser you are and she dumps you and joins Sierra.
Harper Lee: 🙄 ..You done running your mouth yet?
Miku Sakai: I’m just getting started! Now that you’re on your own, you are still struggling to win that illusive singles title that you want so very badly. You had the chance to win the Hardcore Title and you screwed that up.
(Miku now gets right up in Harper’s face.)
Miku Sakai: You figured it out yet? You are a serial choke artist, Harper. Without somebody backing you up, you’re worthless. I don’t ever see that changing bec….
(Harper knocks the microphone out of Miku’s hand and takes a step back. Miku is not very happy with the disrespect being shown to her.)
Harper Lee: That’s where you are wrong. Maybe you don’t see it changing because you’re a complete idiot, but I do. I see it changing at Road to Redemption. That will be the stage where I will not only defeat you, but I will win my first ever singles championship.
(Harper throws her microphone down and gets right back in the face of Miku Sakai. Both women are dead silent and just glaring at each other. They both raise an arm, looking to start fighting. But before they come to blows, Miku changes course and gives Harper a quick kiss on the lips.)
James Peters: What in the world was that?
(Harper is stunned at what Miku just did, almost a little freaked out as Miku smiles and exits the ring as “Age-Age Money” starts playing again.)
Rich Russillo: Ohh baby. I wouldn’t mind seeing a little bit more of that or trying it out with you, Percy.
Persephone: You’re disgusting and a pervert. And that was disgusting too. Why would she go and do something like that? The only kissing I want to see is me and Rex McAllister.
James Peters: Could it be mind games from the champion? I don’t know, but things are just starting between these two ladies. And it’s only going to get more interesting as we approach Road to Redemption. It’s going to be Miku Sakai versus Harper Lee with the Specialists Championship on the line.
(Miku is walking backwards up the ramp smiling and holding her title high in the air as Harper is narrowing her eyes and glaring at Miku as the camera cuts elsewhere.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
( ‘New Tank’ by Playboi Carti plays over the sound system of the arena as Jay Jerry Johnson is making his way to the ring with a massive look of confidence on his face. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Chicago, Illinois! Weighing in at 190 pounds; JAY JERRY JOHNSOOOONN!
James Peters: Jay Jerry Johnson is an emerging member of the Voltage roster, a revelation for a newcomer who just last week won a fatal five-way match under the watchful gaze of the current New Breed Champion who successfully defended his title last night against Lucas Johnson.
Rich Russillo: It was a battle where any of the five men involved could’ve won but Jay ended up on top when he finished off The Woogieman and scored himself the win! Will he go for the New Breed Championship after tonight?
Persephone: Will none of you acknowledge the fact that he looked ridiculous in that Daft Punk cosplay??
( ‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent plays over the arena’s sound system as The Xtreme Classic is making his way to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: ANNND HIS OPPONENT! From Detroit, Michigan! Weighing in at 225 pounds; JUSTIIIIIIN WIIIIIIIIIND-GAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!
Persephone: That fidging imbecile cost Captain Charisma his rule as General Manager for the whole month of November!
James Peters: You have it all twisted Perse, or did you forget that it was actually none other than Ms. Extreme who came in and helped New Eden become the General Managers for a month?
Rich Russillo: He battled like a man on a mission clearly, much like Donovan Duke, he wanted to keep New Eden away from achieving total control over this show for 30 days but the actions of Camille proved to be too much! Justin tonight is surely looking to get over that loss and move on to other things.
Official: RING THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway!! Justin is taking his sweet time as he moves to stand on the second turnbuckle to rouse up the crowd who are cheering for him while Jay Jerry Johnson is calmly waiting for his opponent at the center of the ring.
Justin Windgate: (off-mic) I’m going to smoke this guy!
Persephone: Damn showoff! Time Waster! You’re worse than Ryan Wilson!
Rich Russillo: Jay seems to agree with you as he is crossing his arms together after going a talk talk talk motion with his leading hand, clearly looking unimpressed! Justin on his end looks amused before hopping down from the corner and making his way to Jay. I have a feeling though that this match is going to be quite interesting as both men have been showing great things as of late!
James PetersShowing a handshake from Justin which Jay hesitates to take. Both men end up shaking up which satisfies Windgate. Both end up locking up dead in the center of the ring! Justin is going for a headlock which is reversed quickly by Jerry with one of his own! He keeps it locked in a short moment before Justin squeaks his way out of it and goes for a wristlock which again is reversed by Windgate! Justin chains up trying to go for a full nelson but then tries for a suplex which is turned into a snap mare takedown! Leglock with Justin but Jay quickly kicks out of it and both men kip up to a vertical base!
( The crowd cheers, appreciative of the action! )
Persephone: If this is what we’re gonna have all match I’m going to f-
Rich Russillo: R-remember that the no swear rule also applies to us announcers! Which some of us here at the Voltage table might find hard but it is what it is we have to bend to the will of our temporary General Managers.
James Peters: Meanwhile in the ring both men resumed combat with a clinch and a power struggle that ends with Jerry going for a leg sweep and takedown Justin Windgate who lands on his back! Jay follows quickly with a kick to the gut of the former Interwire Champion and then quickly turns around turning his back to the man and kicking him in the gut again before looking at the crowd who doesn’t enjoy that he is on the offensive. Turning his attention to Windgate once more he drives a knee down to the ribs before landing two more before getting a handful of Justin’s hair and getting him vertical! Headlock followed by a STANDING SHIRANUI! COVER BY JAY!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: Fu… Fudge!
Rich Russillo: I’m proud of you Persephone!
Persephone: Suck a Richard.
James Peters: Justin Windgate lifted himself out of the count to continue this match! Johnson gets to his feet followed by Justin shortly after. DROPKICK! Down goes Justin Windgate but he moves to his feet once again rather fast BUT it was long enough to allow Jay to sprint to the ropes, jump and springboard himself into a DROPKICK OF JUSTIN!! WHAT A COUNTER BY WINDGATE THE MOVE PUSHED JAY TO THE OUTSIDE APRON OF THE RING AS HE CLUTCHES HIS STOMACH! Justin seems to have an idea in mind as he waits for Jay to get up to his feet. He grabs onto the top ropes, springing himself over them BEFORE GRABBING HOLD OF JERRY’S HEAD AND DRIVE HIM DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! THE DTX!! THE SLINGSHOT DDT TO THE OUTSIDE!
James Peters: Justin Windgate actually took the time to actually light himself a blunt and hand it to a fan to finish! He looks like he is ready to scream wassup as he moves to the apron standing atop of it waiting on Jay who was in Lala land the whole time to get to his feet! Slowly Johnson is getting to a knee, then two, slowly getting upward as…
James Peters: DIVING HURRICANRANA ON AN UNSUSPECTING JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHO DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR ONCE MORE! The fans are buzzing! Windgate is in control this is a hard-hitting match so far folks we hope you enjoy it and don’t answer that Persephone!
Persephone: Wha?
Rich Russillo: Justin is moving Jay back to the ring rolling him in before lazily putting an arm over his opponent’s shoulder.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: Is anyone surprised? Jay kicked out.
Rich Russillo: Justin should’ve been more serious but seeing as he is stoned right now yeah no one is surprised. He looks down on his opponent who is struggling to get to a vertical base and he GRILLS him with an Enzuigiri! Justin waits, he actually leans against the ropes why is he not pressing on the attack on Jay? He makes a smoking motion with his fingers BEFORE THROWING A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF JAY! JERRY’S DOWN! Justin STILL doesn’t go for the cover instead he picks up Jerry and whips him into the ropes! HE SMACKS HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TAKING JOHNSON DOWN! He finally goes for a cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TW-
Persephone: My Rexy would’ve ended this match by now!
James Peters: Johnson keeps his hopes to win alive, kicking out but he must not be feeling well Justin is doing a number on him with varied kicks to the head! Windgate picks up his opponent who is reeling, he makes sure Johnson while staggering remains to his feet this looks like the end of a Mortal Kombat match!
Persephone: HE SHOULD FINISH HIM!!
Rich Russillo: Knowing you this isn’t a play on the famous phrase from the game as Justin is actually just watching Jay before flipping him the bird! He turns quickly, moving for a springboard crossbody THAT JAY SQUANDERS WITH A BACKSTABBEEEEERRR!! WHAT A COUNTER BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON! JUSTIN’S NONCHALANCE IS COSTING HIM AND HOW IT’S JERRY TIME! He pîcks up Justin, taking him by the waistline throwing him into a crisp snap suplex! He keeps the hold! Getting both men together upward and driving a knee to the midsection of Windgate! He lifts the man! SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ON JUSTIN WINDGATE!! JUSTIN LOOKS LIKE HE IS FOLDED IN HALF! JAY IS LOOKING FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE CROWD BUT THEY ARE WANTING NONE OF IT AS HE IS MANHANDLING THEIR FAVORITE! He throws a Superkick to Justin as he is just to his knees! Justin fights back with a roundhouse kick!! Jay strikes back with a kick to the midsection and whips Justin to the ropes! He sidesteps! POISONRANA!!! JUSTIN IS DOWN!! COVER FOR THE VICTORY!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Not Just Yet! Windgate Kicked OUT! Jay of course isn’t done with one of the members who won Brand Warfare at Territorial Invasion ladies and gentlemen and he gets his opponent to his feet. Swinging neck breaker on Justin Windgate who ends up to his knees! Jay watches, looking down on Justin before THROWING IN ANOTHER SUPERKICK!! JUSTIN IS DOWN ON HIS SIDES HIS EYES GLAZED OVER! Jay Jerry Johnson is in the driver’s seat ladies and gentlemen we have to take a commercial break DON’T GO ANYWHERE!!
Persephone: I need to take a p-

Don’t Miss It! Back on the action now LIVE on Sunday Night Voltage! )
James Peters: Welcome back ladies and gents to Sunday Night Voltage, live from Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where during the commercial break Justin Windgate managed to gain back control of the match following a brilliant turn-over manoeuver that took Johnson down! Justin is throwing in some kicks to Jay now much as he did earlier in the match and suddenly Windgate dashes to the ropes and returns to Jay BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK TO JERRY AGAINST A CORNER! Justin hoists Jerry up and against the corner, drilling his shoulder into the stomach of his opponent helping himself with the ropes before quickly stepping back AND RUNNING BACK WITH A DROPKICK CRUSHING JAY INTO THE CORNER! Justin follows it with a spinning heel kick to the gut then a few calf kicks this could do some damage to Jay’s mobility if Justin isn’t stopped! Jay is on his knees now as Justin backs off, admiring his work before pointing at Jay and THROW IN A GROUNDED SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF JAY WHO IS AGAINST THE CORNER AGAIN! Justin throws in some knife-edged chops to the chest of Jerry before throwing a pair of spinning backfists and a series of quick hooks and jabs that Johnson is barely able to block!
Rich Russillo: RAKE TO THE EYE BY JAY!! This must be a desperation manoeuver by Johnson who seemingly had no answer to Justin’s attacks for the moment! This allows him to breathe a little bit but he throws himself at Windgate! SLING BLADE TAKES DOWN WINDGATE WHO GETS BACK UP! He is greeted with a running uppercut that takes him to a knee! Jay Jerry Johnson follows with a pair of stiff-looking soccer kicks to the hips and knee of Windgate before moving against him HE IS MOVING TO AN OCTOPUS HOLD! JAY IS TRYING TO FORCE JUSTIN TO SUBMIT TO THE HOLD But Justin was near the ropes and manages to grab at one with his left hand so the official is forcing Jay to stop! Jay does so quickly surprisingly AND GOES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI THAT CONNECTS AGAINST JUSTIN! Windgate drops to the ground but doesn’t give up! He is moving to his knees, then to one while Jay Jerry goes to the ropes AND TAKES DOWN WINDGATE WITH A HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! WOAAOWWW!!! A COVER BY JOHNSON!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Persephone: Sigh.
Rich Russillo: Justin Windgate With The Shoulder Up!!
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) THAT WAS THREE!!!
James Peters: Seems like Triple Jay thinks he had this match won but the official thinks differently and this battle continues much to the enjoyment of the fans all around the ring! Jerry shrugs, picking up Justin setting him up for shining wizard BUT JUSTIN BLOCKS THE KICK and throws in a series of flash striking elbows and forearms strikes to Jay before throwing in a kick to the gut FOLLOWED BY A D…D…T!!! COVER By Windgate!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: FROG!
James Peters: It’s Jay’s turn to prolong this match with a shoulder up!
Rich Russillo: This match is back and forth it’s exciting! Justin with the ascendency for the moment as he whips Jay into the ropes then leaps! Hurricanrana by Windgate! Down goes Johnson who decides to quickly roll out of the ring for a breather! Looks like the attacks of Windgate are getting at him as he is trying to work some distance between himself and Justin WHO DENIES HIM SUCH LUXURY AS HE WENT AIRBORNE WITH A RUNNING SENTON OVER THE TOP ROPES AND ONTO A STANDING JAY OUTSIDE THE RING!!!
Crowd: This Is Awesome! *Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!* This Is Awesome! *Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!* This Is Awesome! *Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!* This Is Awesome! *Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!* This Is Awesome! *Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!*
Rich Russillo: Justin landed on his feet right in front of us at the announcer’s table, now Justin whatever you have in mind please do not ruin our table. We just got a brand new one!
Justin Windgate: (off-mic) Don’t sweat it br-
James Peters: JAY JUST SUPERKICKED THE BACK OF JUSTIN’S HEAD! HIS FOREHEAD SMACKED AGAINST THE TOP OF OUR TABLE AND DOWN HE GOES CRUMBLING LIKE A DISARTICULATED PUPPET!
James Peters: Jay is sliding inside the ring staying on his back for a second resting trying to catch his breath this has been a good match between these two competitors tonight folks who will win it? Who knows! Jay is looking around the… He doesn’t see Justin! Where is he actually? Wait he was hidden on the other side of the ring! He quickly slides in he runs towards Jay WITH A SPEAR! THE SPEAR BY WINDGATE TAKES DOWN JOHNSON WHO HOLDS HIS STOMACH IN PAIN!! But Windgate isn’t finished with his opponent! He gets him up, grabs his face then sits down with a JAWBREAKER! Johnson drops to the floor holding his mouth maybe he lost some teeth who knows! Justin is not giving him any respite as he grabs him by the head before driving him down with a swinging neck breaker!! Jay is holding the back of his neck now his whole body must be hurting like heck and Justin is just not done! He hops on the second rope of the nearest turnbuckle and he’s waiting on Jay to get up! Faking to light himself a blunt! He watches on as Jay he slowly getting to his f-WAIT A MINUTE HE SUDDENLY DASHES FORWARD! CLIMBS UP JUSTIN AND GETS HIM DOWN WITH A FRANKENSTEINER!! HOW THE FRICK DID HE MANAGE TO PULL THAT MOVE WITH AN ELEVATED OPPONENT??
Rich Russillo: Down goes Windgate who quickly gets up but looks surprised and stunned JAY WITH A TORNADO DDT ON WINDGATE!!! The momentum of the move got Windgate to actually roll up to a standing position my GAWD! Jay quickly goes to the apron on the outside what is he doing? He looks at Windgate, slings himself over the top rope INTO ANOTHER DDT ON WINDGATE!!! COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Persephone: No Fragging Way!!
Rich Russillo: You guessed it folks! Windgate kicked out but his brain but be scrambled by now! Two consecutive DDT AFTER a Frankensteiner!
Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* FIGHT FOREVER! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* FIGHT FOREVER! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* FIGHT FOREVER! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!*
Rich Russillo: The crowd is loving this and Jay doesn’t believe it. How did Windgate kick out?
James Peters: The official raises both arms he doesn’t have a clue either but orders Jerry to keep on fighting as this match is not over just yet! Jay smacks a fist on the floor, some signs of frustration here folks as he picks up Windgate whipping into the ropes and then cartwheels himself to have his legs on Windgate’s shoulders WOAH SH-SUNSET FLIP POWERBOOOOOOOOOMB!!! THIS MUST BE IT!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

James Peters: Justin Windgate by some ungodly miracle actually kicked out!!! The Crowd just like us thought this was over! Even Jay thought this was over but it isn’t! Justin isn’t giving up! He is not letting go of his chance to win and the crowd LOVES IT! Jerry is getting more and more annoyed, hopefully this won’t get to him as he gets back to his feet, kicking Justin in the chest a few times before hoisting him up! He goes to whip him but it’s a ripcord INTO A LARIAT! Down goes Windgate! Jerry quickly goes to the nearby corner hoping to the top turnbuckle and looking down on his opponent. He points to Justin before letting himself fall! DIVING HEADBUTT! IT CONNECTS!! He quickly moves to the top ropes again! He almost tripped as he tried to stabilize himself up there! He leaps! PHOENIX SPLASH!! COVER!! This HAS TO BE IT!!

( ‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent plays over the sound system of the arena as The XTreme Classic is getting his arm raised as the victory by the referee! )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen Here Is Your Winner; JUSTIN WINDGAAATE!!!!
James Peters: What… A… SPECTACULAR Match!!! Both men gave us a wrestling clinic tonight and it was absolutely a beauty to see! Following an otherwise frustrating series of events for him at Wicked Games, this win brings him back on track and he did it in spectacular fashion! Justin has shown himself to be on the rise since the beginning of this season and tonight’s win is just another element of argument to add towards that!
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson once more is showing us why he is able to hang with the best with this match tonight! He lost, he doesn’t seem too pleased about it but this should be easily shrugged off! Tonight wasn’t his night but if he keeps working hard better days are assured! Congratulations Justin Windgate.
Persephone: Well I’m glad this match is over! Should we go on a break? Or switch to the next segment? I’m ready for the next thing!
( The scene fades from the ringside area where Justin is seen celebrating his victory over Triple J with the fans, and cuts backstage. Two-thirds of New Eden, Myles and Minerva, are seen watching what just unfolded on a monitor. Obviously, neither of them have any love lost for Justin Windgate, so seeing him overcome Jay Jerry Johnson has left a rather bad taste in their mouths. The two are dressed to compete later, as they have a 3-on-1 Handicap Match against Jake Smith coming up a little later. Minerva is the one to break the silence between the couple, and she does so by rolling her icy blue eyes and letting out a sigh. )
Myles: What’s on your mind?
Minerva: A lot.
( Minerva turns and leads Myles into a secluded corner, away from prying eyes and potential eavesdroppers. People backstage at Voltage are nosy as fuck, and the beautiful National Elite Champion knows that all eyes are on New Eden right now. They finally got what they wanted, which was control of Voltage for 30 days to show EAW a better way. However, something doesn’t really sit well with Minerva. She looks up at her boyfriend and takes a deep breath. )
Minerva: Do you agree with Drake’s decision to cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber?
( Myles’ face remains impassive, but Minerva could see in her boyfriend’s eyes that she wasn’t sure of the decision either, so she decides to press on. )
Minerva: I understand why he did it, trust me. Everything a match like the Extreme Elimination Chamber stands for goes against everything Drake believes in. It’s barbaric. A championship is on the line. The winner of it obviously has a nice little accolade to add to their resume. It doesn’t make any sense for Drake to keep the Voltage chamber in the Road to Redemption line-up.
Myles: But…
( Minerva can’t help but smile a little at that. Myles really was able to read her well. She tucks a strand of bright orange hair behind her ear. )
Minerva: But… I don’t think he thought this decision through. We’re only in charge for 30 days and when Captain Charisma returns on December 1st, he can easily reinstate the chamber. He can fill it up with anyone he wants, and he can make sure the odds are stacked against Drake… against New Eden. At that point, it will be too late for us to do anything.
( Myles’ expression turns thoughtful and he thinks all of this over. )
Myles: I definitely see the point you’re making.
( Minerva bites down on her bottom lip. )
Minerva: I almost think we should reinstate the chamber next week…
( Myles doesn’t say anything for a moment, but his eyes give Minerva pretty much the reassurance she needs to know that she is right. )
Minerva: Captain Charisma is going to come in and undercut all of our decisions. As great as it is to be in charge, and to finally have the chance to show EAW a better way, completely overhauling the process isn’t going to help get our point across at all. Getting rid of the chamber is a great idea in theory, but the other brands aren’t following suit. They aren’t taking away their marquee match for the end of the year. At least one Voltage Elitist is going to be involved in a chamber because StarrStan announced on Dynasty that Camille will defend her championship. We can’t change that. We can’t do anything when it comes to anything tri-branded. The whole purpose of New Eden is to focus on competition and not championships. Chamber matches are always competitive, even if they are fought with weapons and for a championship. I just don’t know what to do in this situation, babe. I really don’t.
Myles: This company is afraid of change. We can both agree on that. Going behind Drake’s back and reinstating the chamber isn’t going to be something that goes over well with him.
Minerva: I know that. He already thinks we keep secrets from him, but I don’t think he is going to listen to logic when it comes to this. I’m not sure if he even realizes that Captain Charisma can change everything with a snap of his fingers.
Myles: Drake gets tunnel vision when his heart is set on something. He’s been very passionate about changing Voltage for the better. I think before we make any decisions about what to do next week, we should at least talk to him and see if he realizes that Captain Charisma has the final say in what happens at Road to Redemption.
( Minerva, who doesn’t usually disagree with Myles, doesn’t like this answer. )
Minerva: I respect you wanting to speak with Drake and discuss things as a group, but he’s made big decisions without consulting us. The no swear rule doesn’t benefit anyone but him, and honestly, cancelling the chamber doesn’t do anything but benefit him. Do you think…
( Minerva’s voice trails off. She doesn’t want to say what she was just thinking. Since day one, EVERYONE has said that New Eden is nothing more than a vanity project for Drake and something put in place to help him succeed. No one but Minerva and Myles have given him the benefit of the doubt, and everyone has been real quick to crucify them for it. )
Myles: Don’t go down that road. Drake has proven his loyalty to us time and time again. We have no reason to question his agenda at this stage because we all agree that these championships are the root of all evil. We all agree that Voltage is a corrupt system that desperately needs solid leadership. We all agree that this sport as a whole would be better if people focused on competition and being the better person without needing a gold belt to validate that.
( Minerva doesn’t reply. One thing she won’t do is fight with Myles, but that doesn’t mean she will blindly agree with everything he says, either. She came into the business desperate to prove herself and show the world that you didn’t have to be a princess in order to be successful. Championships and accolades have always meant something to her until Myles came along. He was happy to play the part and work with her to achieve some tag team success, but somewhere along the line, it became so much more for the two of them. Myles helped Minerva realize that no single title or championship belt would ever be enough to define just how special she was, and he also helped her realize she didn’t need a title to feel like she belonged in EAW. She no longer felt like she needed to prove her worth to EAW. She was damn good at her job and would always be at the top of whatever brand was lucky enough to have her. )
Minerva: If you want to have a conversation with Drake about potentially reinstating the Extreme Elimination Chamber, I will be there and have your back. But when he doesn’t listen and refuses to do it, I would appreciate it if you had my back when I reinstate it. Putting the chamber together ourselves benefits us more than just pretending like Captain Charisma can’t just return, change shi-… crap… up at the last minute, and leave us with nothing to rely on but the Cash in the Vault briefcase should something go horribly wrong. I know who I want in that chamber, and I know that it is our absolute best chance to get rid of those handful of people that still oppose us.
( Myles looks a little surprised at how strong Minerva’s words are. Her fingers had laced with his sometime during their conversation, with neither one even giving it a second thought. They were so used to one another at this point, so used to their connection and how in sync they were at all times they often found themselves cuddled up or holding hands without even consciously doing it. Myles notices now though, and he gives his girlfriend’s pale, cold hand a squeeze. )
Myles: It sounds like you have a plan.
Minerva: I do and if Drake had come to us, we could have discussed all of our options and at the very least compromised on what is best. Do you agree with that?
Myles: I do believe we should all be making these decisions together. I know we each have a chance to run Voltage the way we want, but ultimately it’s what’s best for the group that we should focus on. Everyone deserves a chance to get heard, and I say we sit Drake down, talk to him about Road to Redemption, and see if we can come up with a solution.
Minerva: That sounds good. That way, everything is out in the open and no one is surprised by anything.
( With that being agreed upon, Minerva gives Myles’ hand a squeeze this time. The two lean towards one another and share a kiss as the scene fades to commercial. )
(Commercial promoting SkyZone’s trampoline park, featuring Andre Walker.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Another Way to Die’ by Alicia Keys hits, and the crowd boos as Holly Arrow begins making her way out to the stage. Holly has a smirk on her face as she begins walking down the ramp, as she clearly doesn’t seem to mind the booing whatsoever. Not just that, but she also seems confident in her chances of coming out of this match with the victory.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Christchurch, New Zealand… Weighing in at 149 pounds…. HOLLLYYYYYYT AAARRRRROOWWWWWW
James Peters: Holly Arrow is coming off of a win against Shane Gates at Wicked Games… And that was a unique match to say the least.
Rich Russillo: “unique” is putting it lightly, but that’s the past now. Holly got out of that match alive, and now she has yet another match this week on Voltage, where she takes on Ryan Wilson!
Persephone: Right.. And I’m not looking forward to this one whatsoever.
(‘F**k Everything’ by Jon Lajoie hits, and Ryan Wilson begins walking out. Much like Holly, Ryan doesn’t pay attention to the mixed, but mostly negative reaction that happens as soon as he walks out to the stage, but unlike Holly, Ryan has a more frustrated and serious look on his face. This is a bit unusual for Ryan, but it’s also not surprising following what happened at the start of the night.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent…. Residing in Newark, New Jersey…. Weighing in at 220 pounds…. RRRYYAAANNNN WWIIILLLSSOONNN!!!!!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson isn’t in the greatest mood heading into this match, and it’s really no secret why. He’s banned from Voltage next week, he lost the Extreme Elimination Chamber.. Ryan might really need a win to fix his night.
Rich Russillo: That’s right, but people never get wins just because they’re upset. What matters most is being the best competitor, but I’ll admit. This match has the potential of going either way.
Persephone: Yeah.. But I don’t care how it ends. I care WHEN it ends, and it better end in the next thirty seconds.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And here we go! Holly Arrow and Ryan Wilson are off, already locking up as Ryan Wilson is able to take advantage with a headlock! Holly Arrow is able to run Ryan into the ropes and force him to let go of her, AND THAT ALLOWS HOLLY TO PULL RYAN’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, ALLOWING HER TO DROP DOWN AND PUT RYAN IN A GROUNDED HEADLOCK! Ryan now getting his legs around Holly’s neck to pull her off of him, and now both Elitists quickly get back to their feet, AS RYAN SWINGS FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow ducks under it, and now it’s Holly that manages to get Ryan in a headlock! Ryan runs with Holly into the corner, and Holly runs up the turnbuckles before flipping over Ryan onto her feet! Ryan Wilson now turning towards Holly, AND HOLLY CHARGES AT RYAN IN THE CORNER, BUT RYAN MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Holly turns back and charges at Ryan, AND RYAN TAKES HOLLY DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! Ryan Wilson now with a rear chinlock on Holly Arrow, and now things aren’t looking great for Holly!
Persephone: When do things ever look great for Holly? She loses every single time she has a big match. She has yet to win a single Championship. She legitimately sucks, and that’s all I can really say about her because unfortunately I can’t swear for a month.
James Peters: Holly Arrow is making her way back up to a knee, and now she hits Ryan with an elbow to the midsection! Ryan Wilson continues to try and keep Holly in the hold, but Holly delivers a second elbow, causing Ryan to finally back off! Now it’s Holly Arrow grabbing Ryan and hooking his neck, before delivering a snap suplex! COVER BY HOLLY!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson’s out already, and Holly Arrow pulls Ryan up before attempting to get him into a fireman’s carry, WHICH RYAN IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF BY SLIPPING BEHIND HOLLY, AND PUSHING HOLLY THROUGH THE ROPES! Holly manages to land on the apron and quickly get back to her feet, AND RYAN GOES FOR A FOREARM- BUT HOLLY CATCHES RYAN’S ARM BEFORE DELIVERING A FOREARM OF HER OWN! Ryan Wilson turning thanks to that forearm- JUST TO JUMP UP AND HIT HOLLY WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, NEARLY DROPPING HER OFF OF THE APRON COMPLETELY!
Persephone: If only she really did drop off of the apron. There would’ve been a chance of her landing badly and breaking her neck.
James Peters: Holly Arrow managed to hold onto the top rope, but Ryan Wilson grabs her, BEFORE LIFTING HER OFF OF THE APRON AND GOING FOR A SUPLEX BACK INTO THE RING- WHICH HOLLY ARROW IS ABLE TO ESCAPE BY SLIPPING DOWN RYAN WILSON’S BACK AND PULLING HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
ONE!
TW-
James Peters: Ryan Wilson kicks out, AND HE IMMEDIATELY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE RUNNING AT HOLLY AND GOING FOR A METEORA!
Rich Russillo: It doesn’t connect as Holly managed to move out of the way! Holly Arrow quickly using the ropes to pull herself up to her feet, AND RYAN WILSON CHARGES AT HER BUT HOLLY GETS HER BOOT UP! Holly quickly exiting out to the ring apron now, AND SHE JUMPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE- WHICH RYAN WILSON IS ABLE TO AVOID NOW! Ryan Wilson now grabs Holly from behind, AND I THINK HE WAS GOING FOR A BACK SUPLEX, BUT HOLLY ARROW MANAGED TO FLIP OUT OF IT, LANDING ON HER FEET!
James Peters: Yeah, but Ryan Wilson was smart enough to deliver a back elbow before Holly Arrow could think of making a move! Now Ryan Wilson’s getting Holly in a double underhook, BEFORE DELIVERING A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!! Huge suplex by Ryan Wilson, which sends Holly rolling into the corner! Ryan Wilson now getting back to his feet as he has Holly in his sights, and he waits as she uses the turnbuckles to pull herself back to her feet, BEFORE CHARGING IN AND DELIVERING A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH IN THE CORNER! Ryan pulling Holly out of the corner now, AND HE GOES FOR LE BOMBE BLEU-
Rich Russillo: NO! HOLLY ARROW USED THE ROPES TO PULL HERSELF OUT TO THE APRON AND OUT OF RYAN’S GRASP, AND NOW SHE DELIVERS A ROPE ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI! Holly Arrow now making her way up to the top rope, BUT RYAN WILSON IS ABLE TO QUICKLY RUN AND TRY TO PUSH HOLLY’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER, CAUSING HOLLY TO HAVE TO JUMP OVER RYAN AND ROLL BACK UP TO HER FEET! Ryan now charging at Holly who’s at the opposite side of the ring- BUT HOLLY PULLS THE TOP ROPE DOWN, CAUSING RYAN TO GO OVER THEM AND OUT TO RINGSIDE!
Persephone: Wow, Ryan really is an idiot.
James Peters: Holly Arrow now running the ropes- AND HOLLY WAS LOOKING FOR A DROPKICK UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, BUT RYAN MOVES TO THE SIDE AND PULLED HOLLY ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE RING! Holly now turning towards Ryan, AND SHE’S MET WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE JAW! Huge moves by Ryan Wilson, AND NOW I THINK HE’S LOOKING TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH SOMETHING BIGGER AS HE LOOKS AT THE RING APRON BEFORE TRYING TO LIFT HOLLY INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION- BUT HOLLY PULLS RYAN’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM BEFORE JUMPING ON TOP OF HIM WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow now grabbing Ryan Wilson, and she sends him back into the ring before following behind! Holly now waiting for Ryan to get back up to his feet, and it’d appear that she has something in mind, clearly wanting nothing more but to drop Ryan right back down to the mat as soon as he manages to find his way back up! Ryan Wilson makes it back up, AND HOLLY GOES FOR KIDS SEE GHOSTS!!!
Persephone: Just to completely miss.
James Peters: No, Ryan actually just managed to duck under the superkick, BUT THAT GAVE RYAN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN AND KNOCK HOLLY OUT WITH A HUGE DISCUS ELBOW SMASH! RYAN WILSON WITH THE COVER, AND COULD THAT BE ENOUGH TO PUT HOLLY ARROW AWAY!?
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: Holly Arrow kicks out! Ryan Wilson not too happy that she kicked out, but I don’t think Ryan’s been too happy at all following tonight’s events! Ryan now pulling Holly Arrow up, AND HE SENDS HER INTO THE CORNER BEFORE FOLLOWING! HELLUVA KICK BY RYAN-
Rich Russillo: NO! HOLLY DUCKED UNDER IT AND GOT OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW SHE PULLS RYAN WILSON OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE ATTEMPTING A GERMAN SUPLEX- WHICH RYAN IS ABLE TO AVOID WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW! Holly Arrow now stumbling back, AND NOW RYAN WILSON BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES BEFORE CHARGING AT HOLLY WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH- WHICH HOLLY IS ABLE TO AVOID BY SLIPPING BEHIND RYAN WHILE HOOKING THE ARM, DELIVERING A HALF AND HALF SUPLEX! What a back and forth these two are having right now!
Persephone: Yeah, what an incredibly boring back and forth.
James Peters: Holly Arrow finds her way back up as she pulls Ryan Wilson into a front facelock, AND I THINK HOLLY MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOING FOR A DDT, BUT RYAN WILSON IS ABLE TO LAND A FEW PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION, JUST ENOUGH TO GET HOLLY ARROW TO LET GO OF HIM! Ryan Wilson now with a knee to the midsection, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, AND NOW RYAN WILSON IS IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF HOLLY, ALL FIRED UP! Holly Arrow might want to be careful as she gets back to her feet!
Rich Russillo: RYAN WILSON CHARGES IN AS HOLLY USES THE TURNBUCKLES TO GET UP, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A HELLUVA KICK, BUT HE STILL ISN’T FINISHED JUST YET! HOLLY ARROW STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER RIGHT INTO RYAN WILSON’S GRASP, AND RYAN LIFTS HOLLY UP BEFORE DROPPING HER HEAD FIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH A BRAINBUSTER! That brainbuster looked powerful enough to crush Holly’s head into pieces, and while it didn’t do all of that, it might’ve been enough to finish this match as Ryan Wilson hooks the legs!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Persephone: Well now I wish Holly’s head really did explode as it hit the mat, because somehow she still managed to get her shoulder up.
James Peters: Holly Arrow is trying to show some signs of life following that brainbuster, but Ryan Wilson delivers a nasty elbow to the back of Holly’s head! Ryan’s been using some vicious offense tonight, and that might have to do with the cancellation of the Extreme Elimination Chamber earlier tonight! Ryan Wilson now pulls Holly Arrow back up, BEFORE SLAMMING HER FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Ryan pulling Holly out of the corner, and he sends her into the ropes with an irish whip, AND GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE TO THE HEAD BEFORE HOLLY COULD EVEN BOUNCE OFF OF THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson now hooking the back of Holly’s neck, AND NOW IT’S HOLLY BEING FORCED TO BEGIN PUNCHING AWAY AT RYAN WILSON’S STOMACH, SENSING THAT SOMETHING DANGEROUS WAS COMING HER WAY! Holly is able to get Ryan off of her, AND NOW SHE CHARGES AT RYAN WHILE LOOKING FOR A LARIAT- BUT RYAN DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE FAR CORNER! Ryan now waiting for Holly to turn towards him, AND NOW RYAN WILSON CHARGES IN BEFORE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SUPERMAN PUNCH-
James Peters: KIDS SEE GHOSTS!!!! KIDS SEE GHOSTS CONNECTS AND NEARLY TAKES RYAN WILSON’S HEAD OFF IN THE PROCESS! HOLLY ARROW SAW RYAN IN THE AIR LOOKING FOR THE SUPERMAN PUNCH, AND INSTEAD RYAN JUST ATE A BOOT TO THE CHIN! HOLLY ARROW NOW WITH THE COVER ON THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
James Peters: AND RYAN WILSON SOMEHOW MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Now it’s Holly Arrow with the frustration, but I guess there was no way that this match would end so easily, not after everything that these two proved they were capable of back at Wicked Games!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow now pulling Ryan up, AND NOW IT’S HOLLY LIFTING RYAN UP FOR WHAT COULD BE A BRAINBUSTER IN RETURN, BUT RYAN IS ABLE TO JUST BARELY SLIP OUT TO THE APRON, HAVING TO HOLD ONTO THE TOP ROPE IN ORDER TO STAY ON HIS FEET! Holly Arrow now going after Ryan, BUT RYAN DUCKS DOWN AND SENDS HIS SHOULDER INTO HOLLY’S MIDSECTION! Ryan Wilson now making his way up to the top rope- BUT HE’S NOT FAST ENOUGH, AS HOLLY IS ABLE TO PUSH RYAN’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND KEEP HIM UP TOP!
James Peters: Holly Arrow now beginning to climb up top, AND RYAN HITS HOLLY WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE! Holly manages to stay up though, AND NOW SHE HITS RYAN IN THE FACE WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! NOW IT’S RYAN WITH A FOREARM- BUT NO! THE FOREARM IS BLOCKED BY RYAN, AND HOLLY DELIVERS A SECOND ONE OF HER OWN BEFORE HOOKING RYAN’S NECK! Holly Arrow is setting up for a superplex, BUT RYAN DELIVERS A PUNCH TO THE SIDE OF HOLLY’S STOMACH!
Rich Russillo: NOW IT’S RYAN SLIDING DOWN THE TURNBUCKLES BACK INTO THE RING UNDER HOLLY, AND HE GRABS HER INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, BEFORE RUNNING TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND DELIVERING A SITOUT POWERBOMB!!! AMAZING MOVE BY RYAN WILSON, AND SO FAR THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THIS MATCH HAS BEEN! These two are hitting huge moves left and right, throwing anything and everything they possibly can at each other in hopes of putting this one away! If that wasn’t exciting enough, somehow absolutely nothing has worked out for these two, they just can’t finish this!
Persephone: I don’t see how that’s exciting at all. Ryan can’t even go for the cover because he’s so exhausted. Now we’re gonna have to watch these two go at it for even longer because Ryan can’t go for a pin.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson is crawling over to the ropes and using them to get back to his feet, and this is a very crucial part of the match right now! Ryan Wilson is in control and Holly Arrow has yet to make it back up to her feet! Ryan Wilson now pulling Holly back up, AND HE ONCE AGAIN MAKES AN ATTEMPT FOR LE BOMBE BLEU!
Rich Russillo: AND SOMEHOW HOLLY FINDS A WAY TO HIT RYAN IN THE FACE, CAUSING RYAN TO LET GO OF HOLLY AND STUMBLE BACK! Holly Arrow now charging in, AND SHE TAKES RYAN DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA! RYAN WILSON QUICKLY RUSHES BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK UP HE’S MET WITH A DROPKICK! Holly Arrow is somehow willing herself back up, and now she quickly rushes up to the top rope as Ryan finds his way back up! Holly Arrow somehow managing to turn things around, AND NOW SHE DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE-
Persephone: :mjlol: JUST TO BE DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH! WHAT AN IDIOT! RYAN WILSON GOING FOR THE COVER, AND HOLLY REALLY JUST LOST TO RYAN!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Persephone: ….Nevermind.
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW GOT THE SHOULDER UP! There was no way Holly could’ve expected to be met with a superman punch after getting back on the offensive like that, but somehow Holly still found a way to survive the move, getting her shoulder off of the mat just before the three count! Ryan has to be frustrated knowing that this match is still on, but he hasn’t lost control just yet, and he can very well still end this!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson pulls Holly Arrow up, and once again he tries to hook the neck, AND I THINK RYAN IS LOOKING FOR THE MIC DROP, BUT HOLLY ARROW IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND STOP RYAN FROM GOING FOR THE MOVE! The referee now beginning to count Ryan, AND RYAN LETS GO OF HOLLY BEFORE GRABBING HER AGAIN AND KNEEING HER IN THE STOMACH! RYAN NOW LOOKING FOR AN IRISH WHIP- BUT HOLLY TURNS IT AROUND, BEFORE PULLING RYAN INTO A JUMPING KNEE!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson stumbles back, AND NOW HOLLY ARROW LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE AS SHE GOES FOR THE COLDEST WINTER- BUT RYAN WILSON FLIPS HOLLY OVER AND DROPS HER WITH A BACK BODY- NO! HOLLY ARROW LANDS ON HER FEET, AND AS RYAN WILSON TURNS AROUND HE’S MET WITH A FANTASTIC PELE KICK, DROPPING RYAN TO THE MAT! This has been a very close and competitive match by these two Elitists, and as of right now I can definitely see this going either way! Neither Elitist is able to keep control of the match for very long!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow now rolling out to the apron, and now she once again makes her way up to the top rope, as she sees Ryan Wilson down on the mat! Ryan Wilson hasn’t showed any signs of life following that pele kick, and that might just be what costs him the match as Holly seems to have something prepared! Holly Arrow could be looking to pick up yet another victory to keep her momentum going, and at this point I don’t think there’s anything Ryan can do about that! VIVA LA ARROW!!!
James Peters: WAIT WAIT WAIT! WAS RYAN WILSON PLAYING POSSUM??? RYAN JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AS SOON AS HOLLY WENT FOR THE VIVA LA ARROW, AND NOW RYAN ROLLS BACK OVER TO HOLLY BEFORE PULLING HER INTO A CRUCIFIX ROLL UP PIN!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW KICKS OUT, AND BOTH ELITISTS SCRAMBLE TO THEIR FEET! HOLLY ARROW SWINGS AT RYAN WILSON, BUT RYAN DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE LOOKING FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT THAT DOESN’T CONNECT EITHER! HOLLY MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT, AND NOW LOOK AT HER! HOLLY ARROW BOUNCING OFF OF THE ROPES, AND SHE GOES FOR A SLINGBLADE!
Rich Russillo: SHE WENT FOR THE SLINGBLADE, BUT IT DIDN’T CONNECT WITH ANYBODY AS RYAN JUST DUCKED UNDER IT! Now it’s Ryan Wilson waiting for Holly Arrow to get back to her feet, AND AS SOON AS HOLLY GETS UP SHE’S MET WITH A SUPERKICK, BUT RYAN ISN’T DONE YET! RYAN WILSON NOW WITH A HIGH KNEE, WHICH CAUSES HOLLY ARROW TO STUMBLE, FALLING ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND NOW RYAN WILSON NEARLY DECAPITATES HOLLY ARROW WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! It looks like Ryan Wilson is looking for the Four Hit Combo, and I think we all know what comes after this!
Persephone: Yeah, but I wish he’d just go for the pin right now and try to finish the match! Ryan’s clearly exhausted and not able to finish the combo right away, meanwhile Holly Arrow is right where he wants her! I hate it when people choose to be extra and go for even more moves when they don’t have to. I don’t care about the fact that it usually works, it’s just one more unnecessary move in a match that’s already unnecessarily long.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Well Ryan is pulling Holly up anyway, so I guess he just doesn’t care about-
Persephone: Shut up.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson slowly pulls Holly Arrow up, and if it wasn’t already obvious, Holly Arrow is lifeless right now! That superkick and high knee did damage, and that was all followed up with a devastating discus lariat! Ryan Wilson has been ruthless tonight though, so I don’t think he plans to show any mercy regardless of how lifeless Holly looks! RYAN WILSON LIFTS HER UP, AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING FOR THE SUPLEX DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER-
Rich Russillo: BUT HOLLY ARROW PULLS HERSELF DOWN AND PULLS RYAN WILSON INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!! HOLLY ARROW PINNING RYAN WILSON, NO, NOT LIKE THIS!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. HOLLLYYYY AAARRRRROOOWWWWW!!!!!!
(‘Another Way to Die’ hits, and Holly Arrow rolls right out of the ring as Ryan Wilson is in shock.)
James Peters: Holly Arrow stole it! Holly stole it, and I think she did it by using Ryan’s own trick against him! In this same match Ryan played a bit of possum against Holly when she went for her finishing move, and just now I think Holly did the same thing!
Rich Russillo: That couldn’t have been how Ryan Wilson wanted to end his night. I can’t imagine how mad he must be right now, but at the end of the day Holly Arrow simply got the better of him, even if it was just barely!
Persephone: Thank God Holly did that. I didn’t need to see this match continue any longer.
James Peters: Congratulations Holly Arrow!
(Holly Arrow raises her arms by the ramp with a smirk on her face, meanwhile Ryan Wilson is still inside of the ring, and he just shakes his head knowing Holly pulled off that roll up. He’s obviously annoyed by what went down tonight, but Holly continues to celebrate her victory on her way up the ramp, and from there Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades to the backstage area where two familiar faces are seen, triggering the crowd to absolutely roar with a shower of positive praise towards the duo of Candice Blair & Danny Tanner. Both of them are seen sitting in chairs, minding their own business while doing their own things. Candice is on her phone, going through all of her social media accounts, while Danny is seen reading through a magazine for… reasons. Candice then sees something on her phone that catches her eye, as she turns and taps the shoulder of Danny which absolutely startles him and if he was more aware, could’ve damn near put the poor dude into cardiac arrest. Candice holds up her phone with a smile on her face while she begins to speak.)
Candice Blair: Look Danny, we’re trending on Social Stream! Right under #Voltage, it says #GetWellSoonDandice! Look at our adoring fans, I’m just so happy that we’re getting these messages right now 😍😍😍!
Danny Tanner: :oh: Well, uh, do you mind reading them? For no particular reason other than curiosity! Definitely not the concern of having a woman tweet me saying that I’m smoking hot and they want to date me. Oh silly me, but at the same time, a man can dream…
(Silence.)
Danny Tanner: … YEAH READ IT!
Candice Blair: Well, @FaceOffWoogieFan has said, “What happened to Candice at Wicked Games was an horrific sight to see! I was genuinely concerned and seeing as though I’m used to the pain that I see on Voltage given I’m a masochist, that tells a lot about that match. #GetWellSoonDandice”
Danny Tanner: :krabs: Well that took a turn.
Candice Blair: Oh! Oh! Here’s one for you by @stanbigmoneymalosi which says, “Ya man just watched Danny Tanner get the molasses beat outta him like the bitch he is. Maybe if he got his money up like I- FUCK! Like Ronan Malosi has, he’d win in the ring and in wallet size! 💯💯💯🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥👩👧👧 #GetWellSoonDandice #NOT #ROASTED”
Danny Tanner: Very, interesting. Glad to see the one Ronan Malosi fan out there, even if it’s himself, is out there wishing us well!
Candice Blair: Ooo, let’s not gloss over this one by @calledDK who tweeted towards us, “The losses of Candice Blair & Danny Tanner are disheartening to say the least. But thankfully, their future on the Voltage brand is in good hands seeing as though New Eden is in control now! What good people those three are 💯. #GetWellSoonDandice #NoOneButNewEden”
Danny Tanner: Nice to know fellow losers are looking out for one another!
Candice Blair: Yeah, I don’t think I like that tweet. But I think I’ll like the one sent by…
Danny Tanner: ???
Candice Blair: … @EAWsForgottenMortal.
Danny Tanner: 😔
Candice Blair: “Just as planned, just as expected. Ryan and I crushed Danny Tanner and Candice Blair’s dreams into a million pieces and absolutely shattered the hype that came with it. To those who are wishing them well, they don’t deserve it, if anything, they deserve eternal pain. #GetWellSoonDandice”
Danny Tanner: 😔😔😔
Candice Blair: Oh don’t take that so seriously, Danny. Besides, it’s just Alex anyway, they’re way too over their head right now. I get that loss is disheartening, any sort of loss is that way and sometimes you just have to take it to the chin. But you can’t let them, Ryan too, get the better of you. Because if you remain unaffected by them and keep the ball rolling, that’s how you know that you’re the better person out of the three of them. Keep your head high King 🤗. Besides, they’re going to have to get through me before they get to you, and I’ve shown damn well that you’re going to have to kill me to do that. Ryan wasn’t capable of that, and Alex most definitely doesn’t have the abilities to do so even if he tried-
???: Is there a problem?
(Candice and Danny instantly turn their heads in their chairs, in seamless synchronization knowing exactly who that voice belongs to. Alex Myers makes their way into the camera frame with a straight expression on their face. They’re still recovering from the hard fought bout they had earlier in the night with Mary S. Atlas, with a towel over their neck and sweat ever so slightly beading off of them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t take notice when it comes to slights either.)
Alex Myers: I see both of you got my tweet, I’m flattered. I hope I spoke well, I meant it from the heart after seeing what you two had to go through at Wicked Games! I mean, poor Candice here was absolutely mutilated at the hands of Ryan Wilson! Meanwhile Danny here, oh Danny… don’t even get me started on this poor fool. He walked in with such high expectations for himself, thinking that his false bravado would miraculously get him through the night and somehow manage to sneak away a win for him. Praying for a miracle so he could go home and *dream* about having victory sex with you, Candice. But no, I don’t think that’s the outcome that happened at Wicked Games, was it? No, instead everything went exactly to plan, and he was shut down by me. I wanted Danny to prove himself, to show that he had some sort of balls and was able to fight for himself instead of others, like you Candice, walking around and trying to fight his battles for him, doesn’t show much thick skin does it? So I’m glad to see that Danny showed he is just not capable of doing such a thing, and thus forth, he met bitter defeat at my hands. A pleasing sight, am I right or am I right?
(Alex raises their eyebrow in amusement while looking at both Candice and Danny. Danny is obviously uneasy right now while Candice has a cold and blank look on her face while she looks at Alex. She takes a deep breath to collect herself, like the calm before the storm, before stepping up and beginning to speak to them.)
Candice Blair: You can talk about that Alex all you want, but there’s one thing you didn’t take into consideration through all of this victory lapping. It’s the fact that he’s still standing; despite everything you said, and everything you promised to do. So if you ask me? You failed, you didn’t live up to the standards you put for yourself, and here we are. So I don’t think you really won in that regard, did you? 💅
Alex Myers: Yeah, you’re right. He’s still standing… for now…
Candice Blair: Look you idiot.
(In an instant, Candice steps up and gets into Alex’s face. Candice’s calmed and somewhat cocky demeanor has completely drained from her face and turned to a cold and expressionless stare towards ‘The Forgotten Mortal.’ Alex, of course, is not amused at the chivalry being shown by Candice towards Danny right now.)
Candice Blair: In case you didn’t realize, I’m getting real sick and tired of the Danny Tanner slander. Has he not done enough to prove himself to everyone? It’s frustrating, and with all of that taken into consideration, I think it’s obvious I’m not going to be so kind with you trying to threaten him and act tough. So if you got a problem with him, you got a problem with me too.
(Alex simply does not give a response, leaving an elongated pause after Candice’s words. After a long pause, the only thing that they can really do is look away and scrunch their face, before turning their head and looking at Candice once more.)
Alex Myers: Sure then. I would have cared more if that came out the mouth of Danny instead of a secondhand source, but I guess he’s proving me right when I say that he’s incapable of doing things on his own. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get him to come into his own, but all I can say is that it’s most definitely not my problem. But whatever, this bullcrap just isn’t worth my time.
(Alex moves past Candice and begins to make their way out of the scene, clearly not seeing the benefit in continuing the encounter with Candice. While they pass by Danny though, they make sure to bump his shoulder, which leads to…)
SLAM!
(In a heartbeat, Danny grabs Alex by their shoulder and turns them around. Alex, for a moment, is completely shocked and too baffled to retaliate. Danny takes both of his hands and grabs the throat of Alex, before he throws them into a wall with a crack! Alex scrunches their face while they groan in agony, slowly slumping down to the ground while Danny looks absolutely pissed looking down at them.)
(Meanwhile, Candice is also looking surprised at the sudden reaction by Danny. She nods her head, super impressed while she pats Danny on the shoulder. Shockingly, Danny doesn’t react to the touch of a woman while both of them turn around and begin to make their leave from there. The camera then focuses on the only person left on the scene, Alex. Alex is not happy in the slightest, gripping their fist together before slamming the wall in a fit of rage. They then stand up and make their leave as it’s the last shot seen before Voltage fades to elsewhere from there.)
(‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro Sagisu begins to play as all three members of New Eden hauntingly appear at the top of the stage, dragging their title belts beside them and looking out over the Voltage crowd with a look of introspectiveness.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A HANDICAP-MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULEDDDD FORRRR ONEEEE FALLLLL!!!!
(The crowd cheers as Bella raises the microphone again.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 574 POOOUUUNNNDSSSSS!!! THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, DRAKE KING, THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, MINERVA AND MR. CASH IN THE VAULT, MYLES, NEWWWWWWWW EDDDDEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
(The crowd sends a heavy set of boos towards New Eden as they simply stand atop the ramp and stare down towards the ring. They begin to walk towards the ring and treat their titles with as much respect as Future does the female gender.)
Rich Russillo: New Eden? Newly in power! New Eden managed to leave Wicked Games with certainly their greatest win thus far when they defeated Justin Windgate and Donovan Duke to finally grab a real role of power over Voltage for 30 days and they’re already making the most of it! They’ve shuffled the rosters and are swapping elitists from the environments they were used to! We could see Chris Elite on Dynasty, Andre Walker on Voltage and Jake Smith on Showdown!
Persephone: If he survives this handicap match. Which he won’t.
James Peters: For once, you actually have a good point.
Persephone: Suck my di- penis, you old White creep.
James Peters: :picard: I was agreeing with you. Jake Smith has more than an uphill battle tonight, he’s got an impossible challenge in front of him. To face one member of this group is nightmarish and not a scenario that any elitist wants to imagine, let alone all three. That shouldn’t be a real possibility and it is tonight for Jake Smith. He’s looking into a trio of devils who have nothing on their minds but preserving their hold over Voltage and ensuring dominance in EAW. They’ll take everyone out until they’re unchallenged, but Jake Smith likely won’t be much of one tonight.
Rich Russillo: I hate to agree with you, James, but I do. No one elitist can stand against these three.
(New Eden enters the ring and simply retreats to their corner, they’re looking for quick and simple business tonight.)
(‘Stop Breathing (Alternate intro)’ by Playboi Carti begins to play as several of the audience members are seen leaving at the sound of this incredible song. Jake Smith walks onto the stage and looks as confident as ever, to the satire of New Eden.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT, WRESTLING OUT OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEEYYYYYY!!! WEIGHING 210 POOOUNNNDSSS, JAKKKEEEEEEEE ‘THE MORAL COMPASSSSSSS’ SMIIITTHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
(Crowd cheers for Jake Smith, who ordinarily isn’t customed with these greetings, but the disdain for New Eden runs deep with the EAW fans. Jake slowly makes his way onto the top of the ramp and throws his arms out wide.)
Rich Russillo: We said earlier, but we’ll say it again now….his chances tonight are indeed slim. Slimmer than the paycheck of your average school teacher, slimmer than Xander Payne thinks he is after one ab routine. I mean, Jake Smith’s got a mountain in front of him tonight and the summit is essentially unreachable. I don’t know what he’s got planned or what he thinks may aid him in facing all three of New Eden’s members, but he needs a true ace up his sleeve to pull this one out.
James Peters: I mean, realistically, if he can isolate one member of New Eden, he can capitalize in a big way. And oh my God, could you imagine Jake Smith having a sole win over all three members of New Eden? He would be insufferable. I mean, it’s not IMPOSSIBLE, but it’s as close to impossible as something could be.
Persephone: If there’s one man who can rise to this occasion…it’s not Jake Smith. I’ll leave it at that.
(Jake looks behind him and Chris Elite walks onto the stage, the fans go crazy, but New Eden isn’t having it. They’re incensed. Drake King grabs a microphone and begins to shout.)
Drake King: NO! NO! NO! NO! SOMEONE GET HIM OUT OF HERE! HE’S BANNED FROM RINGSIDE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
Chris Elite: GAWD CONTRACT! I’ve got the power to do what I want, when I want and some month-long power ride isn’t gonna overtake a Gawd contract.
Drake King: SOMEONE GET HIM! NOW!
(Security walks onto the stage and begins to attempt to escort Chris Elite off the stage. He refuses to go so the security grab him and try to muscle him away from the stage.)
Drake King: YES! ARREST HIM!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS IS FIGHTING, BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY ARRESTING HIM! HE’S FACE DOWN ON THE STAGE AND THEY’VE GOT HIM IN HANDCUFFS! CHRIS ELITE BEING TAKEN AWAY IN HANDCUFFS! JAKE SMITH ARGUING WITH THE SECURITY-
James Peters: LOOK AT NEW EDEN! MYLES AND MINERVA BLAST JAKE FROM BEHIND AND THEY FLOOR HIM! NEW EDEN BLINDSIDES A DISTRACTED JAKE SMITH AND THEY’RE ALREADY USING THE NUMBERS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE! MYLES AND MINERVA ARE STOMPING ON JAKE AND DROPPING PUNCHES ONTO HIS BODY! AS IF HIS CHANCES WEREN’T ALREADY SLIM! NEW EDEN FINALLY DRAGS HIM DOWN THE RAMP AND COMMANDS THE REFEREE TO RING THE BELL! THEY HAVE THE POWER AND THE REFEREE RINGS THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING IS GONNA- SMACK! JAKE SMITH WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF KING! THAT ONE STUMBLED DRAKE BACK AND HE RETREATS BACK TO HIS CORNER! HOW DID JAKE SMITH HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO FIRE THAT KICK?! SMITH NOW UP TO HIS FEET AND SLOUCHING OVER THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! DRAKE KING HAS AN ANGERED LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HE CHARGES TOWARDS JAKE-
James Peters: What the?!? Drake King stops as Jake Smith tries to attack again, now Drake goes back to his corner, looks back at Jake and tags in Myles! Mind games early perhaps from Drake King, who is letting Jake know from the get go just how much he’ll be forced to deal with tonight! Jake Smith cracks his neck and tries to brush off the injuries to his body, but he’s still wincing as Myles enters the ring and stares down Jake Smith. The two meet in the middle and now lock up with a collar and elbow tie up.
Rich Russillo: Myles able to use that size advantage over the 5’12 Jake Smith and muscle him back into the turnbuckles. Myles uses his shoulder to spear into the gut of Jake, driving his shoulder into Jake’s body like a battering ram! Jake stumbles laboredly towards the other corner as Myles approaches him again. Myles now with a nasty punch to the body- But Jake fires back with a stinging right hand to the chin of Myles! That one shook Myles as he’s forced to regroup, now Jake floors Myles with a short arm lariat! Jake Smith with a lariat that put Myles down with force!
James Peters: Look at Jake Smith! He jumps at Minerva and Drake with a forearm that blasts both New Eden members out to the floor! Jake Smith feels the electricity and he’s up for the challenge! HE charges towards Myles again- CRACK! MYLES WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF JAKE! THAT ONE PUTS THE EVER RESILIENT JAKE SMITH DOWN AND HE’S HURT BAD! Myles with a look of sheer contempt on his face as he looks at his fellow New Eden members, getting on the apron and scowling at Jake Smith.
Rich Russillo: Myles peels Jake off the canvas and then tags in Minerva, now New Eden plans to use the numbers to full effect! Myles holds Jake in the center and Minerva comes off the ropes! MINERVA WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE AS MYLES SWEEPS THE LEG AND THEY RIP JAKE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH FORCE! MYLES SCUFFS HIS BOOT AGAINST THE FACE OF JAKE AND MINERVA THEN STOMPS ON HIS ARM! BRUTAL TANDEM OFFENSE FROM NEW EDEN!
Persephone: Or maybe Jake just sucks? Dumb move even showing up tonight and he’s paying for it.
James Peters: Minerva now grabbing Jake by the hair and dragging him up, but he shoves her back and she lands in her corner-
Rich Russillo: Drake tags himself in! Minerva has a look of concern on her face, but Drake doesn’t even see her. He walks through the ropes and gives Jake a stare of pure anger. Drake grabs Jake and drags him to the turnbuckles, DRIVING KNEES INTO THE MIDSECTION OF JAKE AND FOREARMS TO HIS CHIN! Jake is able to shove Drake off and get some space momentarily, but the EAW World Champion is right back on him! Drake charges towards Jake and Jake Smith launches him over the top rope, but Drake lands on the apron! He pops an enziguri over the top rope and stuns Jake Smith!
James Peters: Now DRAKE ON THE TOP ROPE, HE SPRINGBOARDS BACK INTO THE RING WITH A KNEE THAT SPUN JAKE’S HEAD AROUND! Jake Smith drops down and hits the deck face first! Drake King has taken over and New Eden has made their presence felt!
Rich Russillo: Look at this, Minerva is still wearing a look of hesitation and Drake King is sending it back. The tension from Drake tagging himself in is starting to set in, but these are professionals and teammates. They know how to get past something as small as a one-time mixup and decision.
James Peters: Drake now picks Jake up and props him up in the corner, but Jake swings wildly and connects with a punch on the jaw of Drake King! Drake now turns RIGHT INTO A BICYCLE KICK FROM JAKE SMITH! JAKE JUST PUT STUMBLED DRAKE BACK WITH THAT KICK AND NOW JAKE HOOKS DRAKE FOR A BRAINBUSTER! JAKE SMITH ON DRAKE KING LIKE GLUE AND HE WANTS TO TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE WITH THIS BRAINBUSTER! DRAKE TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, TURNING OUT AND MANAGING TO GRAB JAKE’S WRIST, THE RIPCORD KNEE-
Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE SIDESTEPS AND NOW TAKES THE BACK OF DRAKE KING! MYLES BACK IN THE RING, JAKE SHOVES DRAKE STRAIGHT INTO MYLES! BOTH MEN TOPPLE DOWN OVER EACH OTHER AND NOW IT’S MINERVA WHO SWINGS FOR JAKE SMITH! SHE MISSES AND JAKE LANDS A SPINNING BACK ELBOW ON THE TEMPLE OF MINERVA! THAT ONE DROPPED HER DEAD TO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: UNREAL RESOLVE FROM JAKE SMITH, WHO WE KNEW HAD A WARRIOR SPIRIT, BUT MY GOD! HE IS FIGHTING THROUGH THE WORST IMAGINABLE SCENARIO RIGHT NOW AND LOOKING DARN GOOD DOING IT! JAKE SMITH NOW AVOIDS A JUMPING KICK FROM MYLES, TAKING HIS BACK AND DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER! A SHARP AND PAINFUL BACKSTABBER THAT NOW CAUSES MYLES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO DRAKE KING, WHO SUPERKICKS JAKE SMITH HARD!!! JAKE SMITH’S JAW CLICKED ON THAT KICK, BUT HE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS DRAKE KING’S TEETH FLYING INTO THE NOSEBLEEDS! OH MY LORD, HE’S TRYING TO DECAPITATE DRAKE WITH MOVES LIKE THAT! JAKE SMITH HAS TAKEN OUT NEW EDEN AND HE’S THE LAST ELITIST STANDING!
James Peters: NOW JAKE SMITH LINING DRAKE KING UP, HE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A FINISH TO THIS MATCH! HE STARTS WALKING TOWARDS DRAKE- MINERVA GRABS ONTO JAKE’S LEG! JAKE TRYING TO KICK HER OFF, BUT DRAKE DELIVERS A JUMPING KNEE TO JAKE SMITH’S SKULL! JAKE IS RATTLED BAD AND HE LOOKS LIKE A BODY WITH NO SOUL IN IT! HE LOOKS EMPTY AFTER THAT KNEE, VOID OF ALL THOUGHT, HE’S IN BAD SHAPE!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HOLDS THE ARMS OF JAKE IN FRONT OF HIS CHEST AS MYLES APPROACHES FROM BEHIND WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE TO THE BACK OF JAKE’S NECK! JESUS CHRIST, NOW FALLING INTO MINERVA AND SHE DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A REVERSE STO!!! THE ‘SIN EATER’ FROM NEW EDEN!!!! DRAKE KING FALLS INTO THE COVER AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS OF JAKE SMITH, THEY’RE GONNA PUT AN END TO THIS ONE IN EMPHATIC FASHION!
ONE!
TWO!
James Peters: KICKOUT! KICKOUT FROM JAKE SMITH! JAKE SMITH POWERS OUT, BUT DRAKE KING IMMEDIATELY GRABS HIS NECK AND PLACES HIM IN A SIDE-HEADLOCK HOLD! It’s almost as if Drake knew Jake wouldn’t go out, but he wants to punish Jake anyway! He wants Jake to know that he’s gonna have to keep kicking out until he can’t anymore because New Eden is relentless! They’re savages who are bound to no post, by no chain!
Rich Russillo: New Eden has seemingly abandoned tag team rules and turned this match into a 3 on 1 assault of Jake Smith-
James Peters: Maybe you spoke too soon…Drake King is telling both Minerva and Myles to get back out to the apron…? This is very interesting, Drake is asking them to go back out to the apron, BUT JAKE SOMEHOW GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND LANDS A SUPERKICK- NO! MYLES SHOVED DRAKE OUT OF THE WAY AND TOOK THE SUPERKICK FOR DRAKE! MYLES TOOK THE KICK AND HITS THE CANVAS HARD! HIS BODY IS STIFF AND MINERVA IS TRYING TO CHECK ON HIM, BUT DRAKE IS URGING HER TO TURN HER ATTENTION TO JAKE SMITH!
Rich Russillo: YET ANOTHER JUNCTURE OF CONFUSION BETWEEN NEW EDEN AS JAKE GRABS DRAKE AND TRIES TO DDT HIM, BUT MINERVA GRABS JAKE’S BACK AND MUSCLES HIM OFF DRAKE AND NOW DROPS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! SHE LAUNCHES JAKE WITH THAT GERMAN AND TRIES TO GO BACK TO MYLES, BUT DRAKE TELLS HER NOT TO! DRAKE AND MINERVA ARE ARGUING AND CAN’T AGREE! JAKE SMITH IS BRINGING OUT THE TENSION IN NEW EDEN, PERHAPS WE’RE SEEING THE CRACKS IN THE ARMOR!
James Peters: Jake Smith is slowly, but surely getting back up, Drake King turns his attention back to Jake- WHO STORMS TOWARDS THEM WITH A SHINING WIZARD! WAIT! DRAKE DUCKED AND JAKE SLAMMED HIS KNEE INTO THE AJW OF MINERVA! IT WAS INCIDENTAL I BELIEVE, BUT DRAKE KNOWS HE NEEDS TO KEEP HIS EYE ON THE BALL! HE COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A ‘GUILLOTINE’ KICK THAT TURNS JAKE SMITH’S BODY INSIDE OUT AND HE HITS THE CANVAS HARD! JAKE SMITH IS OUT AND DRAKE KING HAS DONE IT, FOR NEW EDEN! DRAKE COVERS JAKE FOR THE WIN!
ONNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
THRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT!
Persephone: MAN WHAT THE FU-DGE! HOW!?! JUST GIVE IT A REST YOU LITTLE RUNT, STOP THIS!!!
James Peters: HOW IS HE IN THIS STILL?!? HE’S STOOD AGAINST ALL OF NEW EDEN’S OFFENSE AND JAKE IS STILL COMING FORWARD! DRAKE CAN’T BELIEVE IT AS HE LOOKS AT MINERVA AND A LOOK OF CONCERN IS WRITTEN ON HIS FACE!
(The fans go absolutely crazy for Jake Smith as he once more shows signs of life.)
James Peters: DRAKE KNOWS IF HE’S GONNA FINISH IT, IT’S GOTTA BE WHILE JAKE IS ON THE ROPES! DRAKE KNOWS A ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ CAN FINISH JAKE OFF! HE’S DONE IT BEFORE, HE CAN DO IT NOW! THERE’S NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT HIS TEAMMATES, THEY KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, DRAKE KNOWS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE! HE SURGES FORWARD WITH A ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ STOMP-
Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE SCOOPS HIM UP AND DUMPS HIM WITH AN USHIGOROSHI! DRAKE’S BACK FOLDS OVER JAKE’S KNEE! NOW JAKE PULLS HIM UP AGAIN AND DELIVERS A BACKSTABBER! GOOD GOD, ANOTHER ATTACK ON THAT BACK OF DRAKE KING! NOW JAKE ROLLS HIM THROUGH AND SCOOPS HIM UP ONE FINAL TIME, JAKE WITH THE NECK IN HAND! ‘STARMAKERRRRRR’!!!!! JAKE HIT IT! JAKE IT HIT! DRAKE IS DONE AND JAKE COVERS DRAKE FOR AN ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE WIN!!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: MINERVA DELIVERS A ‘DEVIL’S TOUCH’ TO THE SKULL OF JAKE SMITH AT THE LAST SECOND, BREAKING UP THE PIN!!! OH MY GOD, ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ JUST PUT JAKE SMITH’S LIGHTS OUT AND NOW MYLES IS BACK IN THE FOLD! MINERVA LIFTS JAKE UP AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH FORCE, A SNAP POWERSLAM FROM MINERVA SHAKES THE RING FOUNDATION! MYLES HEADING TO THE TOP ROPE, HERE HE COMES!
Rich Russillo: MYLES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FROGSPLASH-
James Peters: –
Persephone: LMFAO, HOW?!? JAKE JUST GRABBED MINERVA AND YANKED HER DOWN, MYLES CRUSHES BOTH MINERVA AND JAKE WITH A FROGSPLASH THAT INJURES EVERYONE! JAKE SMITH MANAGING TO HURT NEW EDEN VIA THEIR OWN OFFENSE! HOW IN GOD’S NAME IS HE DOING THIS?!
Rich Russillo: I DON’T KNOW, BUT MYLES CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! HE JUST HURT MINERVA BAD! SHE’S WINCING BADLY IN PAIN AND IN A FETAL POSITION, BUT SHE TELLS MYLES TO FINISH THIS MATCH! ANYTHING FOR NEW EDEN! WOW! DRAKE KING IS BADLY HURT, BUT MYLES NOW DRAGS HIM TO THE CORNER AND TAGS HIMSELF IN!
James Peters: MYLES TURNS TO JAKE SMITH, WHO IS JUST AS BADLY DAMAGED AS ANYONE AND NOW MYLES TAKES HIM UP INTO A CANADIAN RACK! MYLES WITH THE CANADIAN RACK, NOW- WAIT! JAKE SMITH ESCAPES OUT THE BACKDOOR AND DROPS MYLES WITH A NECKBREAKER! MYLES NECK JUST GOT SLAMMED DOWN AND NOW JAKE LIFTS HIM BACK UP FOR A ‘STARMAKER’!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES ABLE TO POP UP WITH ALL HIS CORE STRENGTH AND DELIVER A KNEE TO THE FACE OF JAKE! HE LANDS ON HIS FEET AND NOW LANDS A RUNNING KNEE RIGHT ON THE CHEEK OF JAKE SMITH, WHO FALLS DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND MYLES SEES THE CHANCE! MYLES LIFTS JAKE UP AND SENDS HIM CRASHING DOWN WITH A ‘DE FACTO’!!!! HE DID IT, HE PUT HIM DOWN FOR GOOD AND MYLES PULLS BACK THE CURTAIN ON THIS ABSOLUTELY HEROIC EFFORT FOR JAKE SMITH! MY GOD! MYLES INTO THE COVER, FOR THE WIN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: JAKE WITH A FOOT ON THE ROPE! OH MY GOD, JAKE WITH A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! MYLES IS IN DISBELIEF, MYLES DOESN’T THINK IT’S TRUE!! HE WANTS IT TO BE OVER!!! OH MY GOD, JAKE SMITH IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!!!
(The crowd cheers loudly for Jake Smith as he rolls out to the floor and lifelessly smacks against it.)
James Peters: YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT UP FOR THIS MAN! THE HEART OF A LION!
Persephone: THAT HEART IS ABOUT TO BE EATEN ALIVE BECAUSE MINERVA WAS JUST TAGGED IN BY MYLES AND SHE’S GONNA FINISH THIS OFF, ONCE AND FOR ALL! MYLES NOW GRABS THE REFEREE AND STARTS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING?! HE HAS SOMETHING IN HIS EYE! HA! LOSER!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! NO HE DOESN’T! MINERVA NOW LOOKS AT JAKE AND SPITS BLACK MIST INTO HIS FACE! OH MY GOD, ‘THE DARK’ STRIKES JAKE SMITH! DOESN’T SHE KNOW WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCAMDEMIC?! MINERVA, WHY!!?! JAKE SMITH IS DOWN AND PRIMED FOR MINERVA TO FINISH HIM OFF ONCE AND FOR-
James Peters: DRAKE TAGS HIMSELF IN AGAIN! DRAKE TAGS HIMSELF IN AND MINERVA IS VISIBLY MORE DISPLEASED THIS TIME! WHAT IS DRAKE DOING?! MAYBE HE JUST WANTS TO PERSONALLY BE THE ONE TO FINALLY PUT JAKE AWAY, WHATEVER IT IS, MINERVA ISN’T A FAN! DRAKE KING IS IN THE RING AND HE ONLY GLANCES AT MYLES, WHO IS GIVING HIM THE SAME LOOK OF ANGRY CONFUSION!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE IS IN THE CORNER AND JAKE SMITH IS LINED UP FOR THE SHOT! DRAKE KING FLIES OUT OF THE CORNER LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL WITH A ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ THAT SEALS THE FATE OF JAKE SMITH! MY GOD, DRAKE KING PUT SO MUCH INTO THAT STOMP, HE RAN ALL THE WAY TO HIS OWN CORNER AND GRABS ONTO THE TURNBUCKLES-
James Peters: NOW IT’S MYLES WHO TAGS HIMSELF IN! DRAKE’S FACE TURNS COMPLETELY AND HIS BLOOD PRESSURE JUST DROPPED, HE CAN’T BELIEVE MYLES JUST TAGGED HIMSELF IN! DRAKE LOOKS BACK AND MYLES SIMPLY GAZES AT HIM WHILE HE SOFTLY PINS JAKE SMITH, YET DRIVES A FOREARM STIFFLY INTO THE FACE OF JAKE FOR GOOD MEASURE! MYLES WITH THE PIN, FOR NEW EDEN!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ hits, Myles, Minerva and Drake King all gather in the ring and look at each other as both Myles and Minerva look at Drake with the same expression. New Eden is seen going through a stage of introspectiveness as they are seemingly able to put the tension aside and raise each other’s hands.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, NEWWWW EDDDDEENNNNNNNNN!!!!
James Peters: What a fight from Jake Smith, who was actually able to do more than we thought in the regard that he truly did expose New Eden’s human tendencies. They’re seen so often as these terminators who march down and kill whatever is in front of them, but Jake Smith revealed that perhaps…their priorities are different. He also showed what he always does, that he’s second to none as far as toughness goes and can take the kitchen sink and more. What a warrior, the heart of a lion like we said.
Rich Russillo: He can be known for his toughness all he wants, it’s New Eden who will leave with a win. Jake Smith once again played scandal fiddle to Drake King and New Eden. You can see it right there, he’s visibly already displeased, despite just receiving that horrific stomp from Drake King.
(Jake sits against the ropes and wears a completely blank expression on his face. Looking at the sky and shaking his head.)
Persephone: Was never gonna win and to give himself that expectation is his own stupid problem.
James Peters: Both Jake and New Eden will leave with thoughts to ponder because my lord, there are problems on both sides that these competitors will look to address. I know Jake Smith is tired of the ups and downs against New Eden, he thought he could put a nail in this chapter of history at Wicked Games, but New Eden won’t ever stay dead for long. Neither will Jake and he’s going to come back next with a vengeance. That’s for absolutely sure.
(New Eden walks up the ramp in unison and Jake sits inside the ring and stares them down cold. New Eden reaches the top of the ramp and doesn’t look back at Jake, they stop, look straight ahead at the stage, then continue to walk forward.)
Rich Russillo: The question is, what’s next for New Eden?
(The shot fades to Ms. Extreme, who is greeted with a loud set of boos as she walks backstage)
Rich Russillo: Another question on everyone’s mind is why did Ms. Extreme do what she did at Wicked Games? Ms. Extreme comes out to face the EAW crowd and explain her actions, next!
(The shot fades to a commercial featuring Limmy Monaghan promoting hair growth products. Chris Elite appears and claims the product is faulty because his bald head is still just that; bald. Limmy explains that the product only works on bald, pale, Englishmen with odd accents.)
(The shot then returns to Bella Braxton inside the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, PLEASE WELCOME, THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, MS. EXTREEEMEEEEEEE!!!!
(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves begins to play as Ms. Extreme is welcomed by an unusual chorus of boos and negative energy. She keeps a stoic expression on her face as she still walks to both sides of the stage. She begins to make her way down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Not often you hear this kind of a reception for Ms. Extreme, but these fans believe she’s to blame for New Eden gaining control of Voltage and honestly, she is. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, she simply prompted a fate that was inevitable; New Eden taking over.
James Peters: She interrupted the match between Justin Windgate and Donovan Duke and New Eden and made it known what side she’s playing for. Not hard to understand.
Persephone: You sound a lil butt hurt that your favorite wrestler helped out New Eden! Aw! That sucks! Shutup loser.
(Ms. Extreme is handed a microphone and wanders around the ring, walking to each corner and carrying a look of pondering thought on her face before finally speaking.)
Ms. Extreme:…Let me hear it. Let me hear those boos.
(The crowd turns up the intensity on the boos as Ms. Extreme begins to grin.)
Ms. Extreme: The world is so quick to assume that I’ve aligned myself with New Eden, of all groups and people, because of what I did at Wicked Games. Has nobody been paying attention to what has also been happening to ME? The events that took place in MY match? Is nobody considering that I was only acting in the same manner that those guys also did? They interrupted the match that was going to put me onto the path of becoming a double champion. Drake and I won the match, then we were about to win it AGAIN, before those two imbeciles showed their faces and decided that they would rob me of my chance at greatness.
(The crowd quiets as Ms. Extreme begins to exclaim.)
Ms. Extreme: But I’m in the wrong? “MS. EXTREME IS HELPING NEW EDEN, OH MY GOD, SHE JOINED NEW EDEN, MS. EXTREME AND DRAKE ARE A REAL TEAM, OMG, AHHHH!!!” Shut your mouths and use some common sense, that goes for the whole world. Everyone who has had some commentary for my actions at Wicked Games as if they were anything else but the result of what was done to me. They interrupted the momentum and all the hard work that I’d put into literally weeks of that entire tournament. The entire culmination of what I’d been working towards, they thought they could simply use it as a stage to make a statement. To sabotage my career and my hard work. Does that not warrant repercussions?
(The crowd continues a theme of silence as Ms. Extreme establishes that she was simply acting in an act of retribution.)
Ms. Extreme: Now you hear the truth and it’s taken you by surprise because it’s so easy to assume otherwise. Lies are easy to buy into because they’re an escape from the reality of life, but I acted only as anyone else would and should. I stand before you having now lost in the finals of the tournament, when I could have been the first team to EVER win it. My very first loss of the entire SEASON came because these two imbeciles stuck their nose in business that has nothing to do with them. My first loss of the season, whereas I could’ve gone undefeated the entire season. What could’ve been for Ms. Extreme’s career is now shot down… but I’m in the wrong?
Ms. Extreme: No, Windgate and Donovan certainly are, but so is New Eden and Drake King. This shouldn’t have happened to me because New Eden couldn’t handle their own business. They let it spill out and affect everyone else, including me. No, of course I’d never align with them. Never was going to and never will, if this incident showed me anything it was that New Eden is as much to blame for my first loss of this season as anyone. So, for anyone still thinking I did it for New Eden, know that I did it for Ms. Extreme. I do everything for Ms. Extreme.
(The crowd now begins to cheer as Ms. Extreme stares straight into the camera after saying that.)
Ms. Extreme: I’m not done with Windgate or Duke either because they caused all of this. I don’t take an eye for an eye, I want more than just an eye!
(The crowd cheers as she grins.)
Ms. Extreme: I can’t keep looking back on what unfortunately was though, I have to look onward to one of the biggest events of the year and now for me specifically, one of my biggest matches this season; The Universal Women’s Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber match. It was just recently announced and the timing couldn’t be more perfect because a chance to find myself in the most chaotic, violent and challenging match possible and STILL leave with my title is exactly what I’m looking for right now.
(Ms. Extreme looks down at the canvas and then back up at the crowd.)
Ms. Extreme: See, I’ve found myself inside this structure before, but this time it’s different. I’m the champion and I’m going to be walking into a hellish cage having to defend my title against all comers. I’ll walk out the same way I walked in, with the title in hand and a smile on my face. Maybe a few teeth missing between shots, but all will remain the same; Ms. Extreme is the Universal Women’s Champion.
(The crowd now fully behind Ms. Extreme,cheers her loudly in full support of their Universal Women’s Champion.)
Ms. Extreme: It doesn’t matter who is in that chamber, who they throw at me or what challenge stands in front of me because I’m not leaving Road To Redemption as anything but STILL the champion. I won’t let God himself take this title from me, no competitor on this roster could walk through that cage and come tear it away from me. Stick the very best female competitors this roster has in there with me, double the numbers even, I’m going to come out on top.
Ms. Extreme: A tiger could enter that cage and I’m killing it with my bare hands. I will face the supreme challenge of my career thus far at Road To Redemption and I’m sure it will be a lineup EAW deems as being more than I can handle. “CAN MS. EXTREME RETAIN HER TITLE IN THE FACE OF ABSOLUTE DEFEAT?!?!” The answer is simple: Always. I always have and I always will. I’m a fighting champion and know that what separates the greatness of championship level elitists and true champions is the ability to thrive at the very top. To stay there and not let even the strongest winds knock you off the summit. And that, that right there, that is what defines the margin between me and every one of my challengers at Road To Redemption. I don’t need to know them to know they won’t be taking my title because whoever it is-
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church begins to play, causing the crowd to cheer loudly. Donovan Duke walks onto the stage and clearly has something on his mind.)
Donovan Duke: I’ll stop you there because you said yourself earlier; we’re not done.
(Ms. Extreme sighs and looks at Donovan at the top of the ramp.)
Donovan Duke: You’re not done with me? I don’t think you want any part of what you’re getting yourself into, Ms. Extreme. Your name won’t live up to the damage you’ll receive if you truly did step in the ring with me. Choose your words carefully because otherwise, they wake up sleeping beasts that you’ll wish remained asleep.
Ms. Extreme: Are you kiddi-
Donovan Duke: Just stop, stop talking because you don’t seem to realize just what implications your little stunt had for Voltage. Now New Eden, the WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO is running this brand. Understand? You get the life beat out of you every other match so maybe your brain cells are dwindling down these days, but what you did enabled New Eden to gain control of this brand, something that will end up costing everyone, including you.
Ms. Extreme: I can handle myself and am not at all worried about New Eden, you should be though. Better yet, be more worried about what I’m gonna do to you for believing that you could interfere with business the way you did.
Donovan Duke: Says the woman who literally allowed for this brand to fall by the wayside into the ocean and begin the slow sink to the bottom. Do you need me to remind you of what New Eden has been doing for months? Nothing but attempting to destroy this brand, take it over and infect it with whatever garbage they convince themselves is scripture. That’s all they’re out for and they’ll do it by any means necessary. Now that they have that power, it’s going to become so much for this brand, company and everyone in it. All because of you, Ms. Extreme.
Ms. Extreme: If you feel so strongly about this, you should’ve thought of what could happen when you showed up in my match. You destroyed your own chances with your dumb mistakes and preventable choices. After everything I did to work my way through that tournament with a less than easy to deal with partner, you thought it was your place to do with it what you wanted. MY CAREER, MY LIFE.
Donovan Duke: And for that, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you became collateral damage in a war that was never meant for you. I’m sorry that what New Eden created and started had detrimental effects on your career and gave your first loss this season. Truly, I didn’t mean for that to happen and wish it hadn’t.
(The crowd silences their cheers for Donovan as they hear the apology.)
Donovan Duke: But that doesn’t change what you did to Voltage and EAW as a whole. What you let happen and what you decided would constitute revenge. You gave the reins to a three headed serpent and now we’re all suffering the effects of YOUR choice. For that, I don’t apologize or accept. For that, you’re gonna pay and for what you did to my career and my future in EAW, to EAW period, you’re going to pay. Next week, Ms. Extreme against Donovan Duke…
(The crowd goes crazy and begins to cheer loudly. Ms. Extreme responds with no hesitation.)
Ms. Extreme: You’re on. Take your own advice, be careful what you wish for, kid.
(The crowd cheers as Donovan gives Ms. Extreme a stare of contempt and she continues to jaw at him.)
(The shot shows Ms. Extreme raising her title in the air and the crowd cheering her on as Donovan stands on the stage and the screen fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
