(EAW intro plays.)
(The broadcast opens up to a recap from last week’s show. The show opened with Ronan saying he was the reason Voltage succeeded in Brand Warfare and demanded a reward for it. The rest of the Brand Warfare team came out and tried to put him in his place on the role he played. Ronan continued to say he was the reason they won, and the members heard enough as they all went into the ring and jumped Ronan and beat him down. Ronan vowed they will pay. Next we see Halsey Neel pick up the victory in a hard fought match against Haruka Kashimashi. Next, Drake King would come out and brag about Voltage’s victory at Territorial Invasion, not even mentioning his two Anarchy In The Arena partners in the victory. TLA would then interrupt him addressing Drake working with Eden to get him fired. He reminds Drake he isn’t going anywhere and he’s gonna get his hands on him. Drake says he did what needed to be done at Rise Of The Resistance, and calls TLA a problem in this new era of Voltage. TLA would then drop Drake before the two would get into a brawl before TLA got the last laugh. Next, we see Usagi picking up a huge win over Daryl Kinkade thanks to Ronan proving a distraction to Daryl. Next, we see the EAW. Champion Minerva address the Territorial Invasion win before shifting her focus to defending the title at Wicked Games. She throws down the open challenge and there Hardcore Champion, Charlie Marr answered. He says he deserves to have his talents showcased in the main event which the Hardcore title can’t do. He says he’s using his favor to challenge Minerva at Wicked Games.The two exchange a few more words before the recap transitions with them facing off.)
(The recap next sees the match be stopped between Kylie and Theron as Samael viciously attacks Theron. Kylie tries to stop him from doing more damage, and Samael stops which shocks Dr. Doyle backstage who thinks Samael was trying to protect Kylie instead of just attacking Theron. Next we see the match between Kenn Kenn and Ronan interrupted by Daryl who gets revenge after Ronan cost him his match earlier in the night, but costing him his as Kenn Kenn wins by count out. Next, Eden Sinclair explains her actions trying to get TLA fired, saying she was looking out for EAW and Disney, but she’s not sorry as TLA is not good for the brand. She feels betrayed. The Ice Aces leaked the information after trusting them in the match. The Ice Aces interrupt and say they are not her pawns, calling her immoral and evil. Eden puts their friendship to the test saying the three of them will face in a triple threat at Wicked Games with the winner qualifying for the returning Specialists Chamber at Road to Redemption. Next, an interview with Hikari Kanno is interrupted by Sierra Everett as she attacks Hikari from behind and a vicious attack ends with her throwing Hikari down the steps. Sierra says she’s going through the women’s division on her way to the Universal Women’s Championship, saying what happened to Hikari is only a preview of what fate has in store. Finally, we see our main event between Charlie and TLA end in a disqualification thanks to a low blow from Charlie.)
(The recap ends and Sunday Night Voltage fades away to show a shot of the Dakar Arena in Dakar, Senegal. An edited version of ’33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is played through the speakers as spotlights are panning around and golden pyro is shooting out from the stage. The crowd cheers wildly as the camera then goes over to show the broadcasting team of Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone.)
James Peters: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the hottest show on Sunday nights…SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!! And what a show we have in store for you tonight folks.
Rich Russillo: That’s right, the fallout from everything that transpired last week. Wicked Games is shaking up to be a great show, and we have some more surprises tonight as we inch closer. We’ll hear from our Hardcore Champion and new number one contender for the EAW Championship, Charlie Marr. And we have The Prescription teaming up with the friendly pair of Kenn Kenn and Kylie Grace. And then in our main event, Drake King will go one on one with ARIA.
Persephone: Gee it all sounds just so exciting! I literally can not even! I hope we can get the show started right away before the excitement becomes too much and totally overwhelms me 😀!!!
(Voltage fades to ringside, with the camera transitioning to the stage as ‘Praise The Lord’ by Bandokay hits. The fans in the crowd tonight immediately begin booing as loud as they can as the Hardcore Champion begins his walk down to the stage, carrying his Hardcore Championship on his shoulder as well as a microphone in his hand. Charlie Marr has a very confident look on his face tonight, not a care in the world for what happened in the main event of last week’s Voltage, likely because of what was announced earlier in that night, where he announced that he’d be Minerva’s next challenger for the EAW World Championship.)
James Peters: Charlie Marr’s out here tonight, and it looks like he’s ready for Minerva judging by the smirk that’s on his face! After seeing Minerva’s past performances you’d usually have to wonder how someone could be so confident up against her, but we know what Charlie Marr has accomplished at this point in his career.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Charlie Marr is a legitimate threat, one that won’t be put down very easily no matter who you are! He may already be the Hardcore Champion, but I can’t deny that stepping up to take on Minerva may have been really smart on his part.
Persephone: Yeah, we could be seeing a new EAW World Champion! Personally I don’t really care who wins- because both Minerva and Charlie are very talented wrestlers who are not extremely boring to watch of course 😃!
(Charlie Marr walks down the ramp, slowly walking up the steel steps with his Championship in his arm as the boos continue, not getting any attention from the Hardcore Champion. As Charlie enters the ring, he only waits a few seconds before beginning to speak.)
Charlie Marr: This is MY show, and I think you all need a reminder of that. I run things around here, which is exactly why I’m always in the main event whether anybody likes it or not. Last week things didn’t end how they should’ve, but if any of you actually think I care about what happened last week you must have forgotten the opportunity that I have on my hands. TLA means nothing to me, and in the end he couldn’t beat me because he’s not good enough, just like nobody else on this roster is good enough to stop me from leaving Wicked Games as both the Hardcore and EAW World Champion. You think I left Voltage in tears because I didn’t get to pin TLA like I should’ve? I’m still the most dangerous person on this roster while TLA’s lucky to get the chance to share the ring with me. Hell he’s lucky to be able to enter the ring at all, because even if he wasn’t set up he’d still be a complete waste of time that doesn’t belong in this company. This show, this roster and this entire company belongs to one man and one man only, and that’s me. I didn’t get the name Main Event Marr for no reason. I got it because I’m the golden boy, I’m the top guy, I’m the biggest name Voltage has ever had to offer which is exactly why I’m the one that chose to be Minerva’s challenger at Wicked Games. I won’t just be taking the EAW World Championship, I’ll be taking my rightful spot at the top.
(The crowd once again begins booing extremely loud, but Charlie doesn’t pay attention to it at all, beginning to pace around the ring as he continues.)
Charlie Marr: Minerva’s been lucky for a while now. For the past few years I haven’t been on this brand and that allowed her to rise to the top. She doesn’t actually belong there, she’s just benefiting off of the fact that I wasn’t around to cut her down to size which is exactly why she spent her title reign defending against the likes of Ronan Malosi and Daryl Kinkade as if that’s supposed to make her a good World Champion. Two Elitists who are more fluent in failure than any other language, both of which couldn’t even come close to taking this Hardcore Championship from me, and those are supposed to be World Championship competitors? Those are the Elitists Minerva’s barely getting by while pretending to be the face of this brand? Minerva’s turning the EAW World Championship, the title that I gave more prestige to than anybody else in this entire company, into a joke. She’s holding that title and making this brand look pathetic, so at Wicked Games I’m taking what’s rightfully mine and I’m showing the rest of you how it’s done, because from the looks of it it’s been a very long time since this brand had a legitimate World Champion. If the likes of Terry Chambers can hold a World Championship on this brand then you’re all doing something wrong down to the management for letting complete jokes into the World title picture, and I’m going to clean up your mess by being the best World Champion this brand has had since… Me. Nobody around here can compare to me. You’ve never been able to in the past and you won’t start now when I’m at the top of my game, so come Wicked Games, once Minerva and I enter the ring this pathetic excuse of a Championship reign is gonna e-
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie hits right before Charlie could finish his sentence, causing the crowd to burst into cheers as the EAW World Champion walks out with her Championship around her waist. Charlie Marr looks to the stage at Minerva, but he doesn’t look happy at all being interrupted. Minerva has a smirk on her face though, and she begins to speak on her way towards the ring.)
Minerva: What was that you were going to say? You didn’t finish, but it sounded like the exact same boring story as always. You literally spent your very last free-per-view doing this. Spending way too much time telling everybody how great and unstoppable you really are, whining about how overlooked you are and threatening to make your opponents regret seeing you as anything less than the biggest threat in the match, and in the end you weren’t even involved with the ending. Instead you had to watch Dr. Bethany Blue fight Bronson Daniels from the sidelines when you should’ve had such a clear advantage even after Sheridan Müller’s elimination. Voltage may have won the match, but had anyone else been the team Captain instead of you it wouldn’t have come down to the wire like that, and you can go ahead and watch what happened the last two years if you don’t believe me. You’re not a threat to the Voltage roster and you’re definitely not a threat to my EAW World Championship. You may believe that you’re the biggest challenge I’ve had in my reign, but I haven’t lost a single match this season and that has nothing to do with the quality of my opponents. If you put any Elitist on this roster in front of me I’ll put them down, you’re not some exception to that. It wouldn’t have mattered if you were around to get in my way, I’d have still entered this season with this Championship. I won this EAW World Championship because I was the best this brand had to offer. I was the one good enough to leave the biggest show of the year with this title and I was good enough to leave every single match of the season with it raised in the air after a victory, so why should I or anybody else buy into this idea that you’re different and that you’ll bring a challenge that nobody else has been able to?
Charlie Marr: I’m better than you, that’s why. I’m a bigger star than you. I’m a bigger threat than you. I was a better EAW World Champion in my first month than you’ve been your entire reign, and I could keep listing all of the other reasons but the truth is we’d be here all night if I did, and I don’t feel the need to waste my time when this should be obvious. You’re leaving Wicked Games empty handed and you’d be lucky to have even a decent performance against me, because history shows that anybody that faces me is either left in a pool of their own blood or a pool of their own tears. Either one works for me as long as I’m getting what I want, and I’m not leaving Wicked Games without that Championship so I hope you’re prepared for the worst. It’s been far too long since I held a World Championship, and I’m far too good to be dealing with nobodies on weekly TV while you’re parading around with a title that was basically made for me. There’s no reason why I should still be here, waiting for someone that’s not completely pathetic to face me for my title while you’re *willingly* defending your Championship against the very bottom of the barrel on free-per-views and supershows.
Minerva: Frankly I couldn’t care less how you feel about the current state of the Hardcore Championship. That’s not why we’re here, but since we’re on the topic I should say that you’d probably be better off sticking to facing names such as ARIA and Roberto De La Rosa. Elitists like those are actually fitting opponents for you. Me on the other hand? I’m the last person you should’ve challenged, and after Wicked Games is over I don’t think we’ll be meeting each other in the ring again anytime soon, because you won’t want another match against me. With your upcoming loss against me at Wicked Games I’ll be sure to send a very clear message. You’re not taking this Championship from me, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many times you try. The outcome will always be the same. The match will always end with me retaining my title, and unless you’re comfortable with the idea of repeatedly humiliating yourself it shouldn’t take too long for you to understand. I started this reign by defeating a former World Champion and the last man to hold this title, the man that I love. I went through hell, and that was just how this reign started. If you think I’ll be ready to let go of this Championship anytime soon, you’re delusional. If you think that 2022 will end with somebody other than Minerva as the EAW World Champion, you’re delusional. And most of all, if you believe that YOU will be the reason for my title reign’s end, calling you delusional would be too kind.
(Charlie has clearly grown annoyed of hearing Minerva speak, but Minerva continues, not giving Charlie a chance to respond.)
Minerva: You’ll never be the biggest threat on a roster that I’m part of, and you’ll never be the face of this brand while I am here. That’s something you’d be better off just accepting while you still can, because before long you’re going to embarrass yourself, and personally I’d love nothing more than to be the reason why everyone on the roster and the thousands of people that’ll be in the crowd at Wicked Games get to watch you fall flat on your face. 2019 was three years ago, Charlie. It’s been a very long time since you stood at the top of Voltage, and while I think you’d be much better off just admitting that those days are over and building yourself back up, I’ll have no problem tearing you apart and proving that if this really is your best, you were never as good as you think you are. The night that you stole the EAW World Championship was the one and only time you’ll ever win a World title in EAW, and you’ve clearly proven that over the years as you’ve failed World Championship matches even before now. The difference is, this loss will be even more convincing than the others. After this loss there’ll be no doubt that you’re not good enough. After Wicked Games there’ll be no more questioning who Voltage’s biggest threat really is, because when the Hardcore Champion leaves Wicked Games all his work will amount to is second place. He won’t be the golden boy, the top guy, the face of the brand or any of the unfitting names you’ve called yourself, and he definitely won’t be the EAW World Champion. All Charlie Marr will be is number two.
(There’s very loud cheers from the audience, but at this point Charlie Marr looks ready for a fight, taking his Championship off of his shoulder and holding it down in his hand. Minerva doesn’t back off at all though, and the two Champions and Wicked Games opponents stare each other down.)
James Peters: Things have clearly gotten intense right now, and I could definitely see why! These two had a lot to say to each other, but when the time comes that they have to enter the ring, only one of them will be able to keep their promises!
Rich Russillo: They both have a very convincing case right now. There’s so many reasons why either Elitist could leave Wicked Games as Champion, and I personally couldn’t tell you who’s winning this!
James Peters: I couldn’t agree more, but if these two start up a brawl like it looks like they’re about to, things might just become even more unpredictable-
(‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers hits, causing loud boos as well as tons of shocked faces from the crowd, the commentary team, and the Elitists inside of the ring.)
Charlie Marr: :skip:
Minerva: :comeagain:
James Peters: Woah, WHAT??
Rich Russillo: What’s going on, why is Lexi out here???
Persephone: Did she get lost? She’s not supposed to be on Voltage :lupe:.
(Both Charlie and Minerva look confused, and this is enough to get them to turn their attention away from each other as they both look towards the stage to see Showdown Elitist Lexi making her way down to the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
James Peters: Hold on, what’s Lexi doing here? She just faced Holly Arrow on Showdown last night!
Rich Russillo: We do know that Veena Adams and Charlie Marr have worked together for years and we know what Veena did, but Lexi wouldn’t come here just to complain to Charlie, would she?
(Lexi makes her way onto the apron, as both Minerva and Charlie watch.)
Minerva: You’re on the wrong brand.
Charlie Marr: What is this?
(Lexi doesn’t immediately respond, but when she enters the ring she walks right up to Charlie Marr, leaving Minerva to just watch in amusement.)
Lexi: So you’re really gonna pretend that you don’t remember what happened yesterday?
Charlie Marr: :skip:
Lexi: My match against Holly Arrow, the one where Veena Adams referee’d just so she could screw me over. I know you two haven’t moved on from each other since you were just doing Veena’s dirty work for her back at Dead Men Tell No Tales, so I want to make this clear. I am NOT some joke for you guys to just push around! I’ve been working hard to turn my season around and that match against Holly was the perfect opportunity for me to get a good win under my belt, and if we had a legitimate referee that wouldn’t just disqualify both of us, I would’ve left Showdown with that win! You guys took that from me, so if you ask me it’s only right that I take something from you! I still wanna turn my season around and get back on the right track, and one of the things that I haven’t been able to do in my career is win a Championship. No matter how hard I tried I haven’t been able to get that done, and it’s not like you’re actually doing anything with the Hardcore Championship right now since you’re off trying to face Minerva for her title, which is exactly why I have a perfect idea. I want a match for your Hardcore Championship, and I want it next week!
(There’s another loud reaction from the crowd, surprised to hear such an announcement. Charlie Marr just looks around, looking to see a sign that he’s just being pranked, but all he sees is Minerva who clearly finds this funny, and Lexi who is clearly frustrated by the actions of Veena Adams. Lexi continues, clearly serious about everything that she’s saying.)
Lexi: Well? What do you say? You’re supposed to be the man dethroning Minerva, right? Well you shouldn’t have a problem putting your title on the line one more time before Wicked Games.
Charlie Marr: Is this really what you want?
Lexi: Yes. This isn’t a joke, I wouldn’t be out here if I wasn’t being serious.
Minerva: :mjlol: This is going to be a murder.
(Lexi heard this, turning her attention to Minerva who doesn’t back away even slightly seeing Lexi stand up to her.)
Lexi: I don’t know what’s so funny. I don’t care if you’re the World Champion, I’m not gonna be treated like a joke by you or anybody else. Especially not after I beat the nest challenger for your title-
Charlie Marr: Shut your **BLEEP** **BLEEP** up,
(The crowd gives very rare cheers to Charlie Marr after hearing that, and Lexi just stares at Charlie Marr, pissed off even more than before.)
Charlie Marr: If you want your match you got it, I don’t care because by the time it’s over, you’ll regret ever appearing on my show.
Minerva: You know what? Count on me to be at ringside for this massacre. This is a match I couldn’t miss.
(Charlie turns to Minerva.)
Charlie Marr: I’d wipe that smile off your face if I were you. What happens to her will be a glimpse into your future.
Minerva: Yeah, okay. We’ll see about that, but you’re even worse than I thought if you think you can compare me to Lexi.
Lexi: Excuse me? I’m standing right here you know!
(Lexi’s words seemingly go ignored as both Charlie and Minerva begin to make their way out of the ring, and ‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ hits once again.)
Lexi: Um, HELLOO???
James Peters: It looks like Charlie Marr isn’t worried about his newly confirmed Hardcore Championship defense against Lexi next week, meanwhile Minerva is interested in it enough to want to stay at ringside for it!
Rich Russillo: This has been a very interesting turn of events, but let’s not forget what’ll happen at Wicked Games! Minerva versus Charlie Marr for the EAW World Championship, only now we have to question whether or not Charlie will be getting the opportunity to leave the event as a double Champion!
Persephone: Yeah! Lexi is a really good wrestler, that match could definitely go either way 🥲.
(Minerva makes her way to the back with Charlie trailing behind, both holding their Championships as they pay no attention to Lexi, who’s clearly still not in a good mood after being ignored like that despite getting herself a Hardcore Championship match. Finally, Voltage begins to fade from ringside and goes to commercial break.)
(A local commercial from the great state of Alabama appears, for absolutely no reason at all, and it’s a paid advertisement from Auburn football fans demanding that head coach Bryan Harsin be fired immediately since he sucks and never should have been given a job coaching in the SEC in the first place.)
(The camera fades in backstage to Sofia Clarke who is standing by in the interview area holding a microphone.)
Sofia Clarke: Right now we’re moving towards the very first match of the night, but before that we have a very special interview! Ladies and gentlemen, at this time please welcome Haruka Kashimashi!
(Haruka Kashimashi enters smiling as Sofia Clarke greets her. Haruka waves to the camera as the fans can be heard cheering from the arena.)
Sofia Clarke: Haruka, thank you for joining us tonight. Now, last week you unfortunately suffered a loss against Halsey Neel. Would you like to share your thoughts on that?
Haruka Kashimashi: Well that is one way to start an interview. That isn’t something I am proud of but I suppose I can’t ignore it, so I’ll just get right into it then. You know I think that I really put up a good effort. I think my fans know that I would never want to disappoint them the way that I did, and I’d never want to allow my own career to suffer the losses that I have. They all saw the match and I really tried my best, that’s undeniable. Of course, it was a loss in the end. Whether I like it or not Halsey Neel did defeat me. She put another loss on my record and I believe I’ve had too many of those this season. All of the momentum I had been building for the past couple of weeks just kind of came crashing down, you know?
(Sofia just nods, allowing Haruka to continue speaking.)
Haruka Kashimashi: It really is unfortunate, and I can’t say that I’m proud of the fact that things tend to happen like this. It seems like the biggest problem I have around here is I start doing really really good, and for little while I’m capable of living up to my promises. Winning matches, making my fans proud and picking up a very good run… but then like I said, it all comes crashing down and I find myself right back in this position. Of course, I always plan to pick myself up following these losses. No matter what I move forward because that is what you’re supposed to do, but if I am going to become a greater competitor I have to do better than this. I believe that I have shown against all kinds of competitors that I am not the type of Elitist who goes down easily. Even when I have lost my matches I went down fighting, and did my best. Even last week I came really close to victory and I feel like it could have gone the other way. Some may say it is bad luck but I know that something has to change. I am not going to make excuses but I admit I am tired of coming up short when it matters the most. Nobody likes facing results like this, especially on such a consistent basis.
Sofia Clarke: I understand, and you mentioned that something has to change. Would you mind telling us exactly what that is? What is your plan going forward?
Haruka Kashimashi: It’s very simple. If I’m going to push myself forward, I need to be tested in a way that I haven’t been before. I think that the only way out of this hole is to really prove myself against the best. That is the only chance I have going forward. I know that it won’t be easy at all, but how else could someone learn besides getting the chance to see what it’s like at the very top? The best way for me to improve is by facing Elitists who I know will not only push me to my limit, but force me to go past them. I have to make sure things start to go my way, and I believe that this is the perfect way to do that. This is only the first day of a long journey, one to get my career back on track! With the right opportunity I know that I could surprise everyone. I’ve done it before, so I know it’s not impossible even if it won’t be easy. Believe it or not I’m actually looking forward to the future, because I’m going to continue bringing my best and I’ll put in the effort to make sure that gets me to even greater heightd.
Sofia Clarke: Thank you Haruka, and good luck to you.
(Haruka nods to Sofia with a smile on her face before leaving the area for her match. The camera cuts to ringside where Bella Braxton is standing by.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses hits to loud boos from the crowd. Alex Mathews walks to the ring with a confident look on his face, seemingly not too worried about this match as he makes his way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Cincinnati, Ohio making his EAW debut he is “The Podcast King” ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX MATHEWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
James Peters: Well I am not sure what we can expect from Alex Mathews. He could surprise us all tonight, whether it’s with a fantastic or a not so great performance!
Rich Russillo: Well we have yet to hear him speak or say anything since joining EAW so it is hard to say. This will be our first exposure to him and I’m not sure what he’s going to be all about.
Persephone: You would think that as a Podcast King he would talk more but I guess he is going for that ironic vibe. Very edgy. Very daring. I approve.
( “W-B-X ～W-Boiled Extreme～” by Aya Kamiki [Feat. TAKUYA] hits to loud cheers from the crowd. Haruka Kashimashi makes her way to the ring slapping hands with her fans before entering the ring with a determined look on her face, ready to live up to her own words about pushing herself and reaching greater heights going forward.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent from Sapporo, Hokkaido weighing in at 128 pounds she is “The Prodigious Valkyrie” HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUKA KASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Haruka Kashimashi lost last week and she is concerned that if she keeps on losing she will never make it in EAW. Just a constant cycle of occasional wins interrupted by a big loss and she never actually gets anywhere.
Rich Russillo: That has to be frustrating but I respect that she has not given up. Because her fortunes could change any day and it is never too late to get yourself together and make a change for the future!
Persephone: Agreed! Just like how EAW has finally gotten itself together with this Disney deal! For the better! 😃 !!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: With the ringing of the bell this match is officially underway! Alex Mathews and Haruka Kashimashi square off in the squared circle! They lock up aggressively in the ring with Haruka surprisingly being the one to shove Alex back into the corner. But Alex turns around right before colliding back first to turn Haruka into the corner instead. Alex has Haruka trapped and fights for position with Haruka as they turn each other around trying to gain the dominant position in this lock up. Eventually Alex manages to shove Haruka off of him with an angry look on his face as he backs her up across the ring using all the force he could muster. But Haruka just comes running and charges right back in to lock up once more! But Alex uses the momentum to throw Haruka back first into the ropes and then drives his knee up hard into her gut. Alex is going to throw Haruka over the top rope! No!
James Peters: The referee breaks them up Alex Mathews had Haruka Kashimashi trapped up against the ring ropes for too long and the referee demanded the break. Alex is visibly upset about this. Alex goes to lock up with Haruka… but instead Alex ducks beneath grabbing the arm of Haruka and wrenching around into a painful armbar behind her back! Alex looks like he is almost trying to break Haruka’s arm with the force of this armbar. Haruka falls back into the ropes to force the break but Alex puts her arm over the top rope and slams it down over the rope with the force causing extra damage to the arm! Haruka backs off shaking her arm off as Alex comes towards her looking to take advantage-
Rich Russillo: But Haruka Kashimashi goes around behind Alex Mathews grabbing him around the waist for a Reverse Bearhug! But Alex with hard back elbow strikes to Haruka’s skull behind him as he tries to force her to break the hold. After several hard elbows he manages to wrench the clenched hands of Haruka off him as she staggers back. Alex goes around behind Haruka and looks to lock her in a similar hold but Haruka grabs his arms and forces them apart preventing him from getting it in! But Alex is relentless and he is determined to get it in no matter what! Haruka ducks beneath Alex throwing him over her shoulders and then dropping him with a thunderous Death Valley Driver!!! Haruka into the first cover of this match as that powerhouse maneuver just came straight out of nowhere!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
James Peters: Kickout from Alex Mathews as he shoves Haruka Kashimashi away and rolls off into the corner. Alex thought he had this match under control but Haruka just surprised him right there. Haruka is all fired up now as she yells at Alex to come and get some as he waits it out in the corner plotting his next move. Haruka walks towards him as Alex paces backwards before suddenly striking with a kick to the gut of Haruka. He caught her off guard there! Alex grabs Haruka and wrestles her into a Headlock as he takes back control of the match before Snapmaring her down to the mat! But Haruka uses her legs to wrap around the neck of Alex and twists him over onto his shoulders!!! Haruka may have it here!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: No! Only two! Not three at all! Only two!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors back up as Alex Mathews whips Haruka Kashimashi off the ropes. She is running. Alex comes charging back but Haruka leaps and lunges over her! Leapfrog! Alex off the rebound with a Clothesline! But Haruka ducks beneath! Alex runs off the ropes once more but walks right into a Spinning Back Elbow Strike from Haruka knocking him right on down to the mat! Alex pulls himself over to the ropes as Haruka arrives there to choke him out on the middle rope. Alex suddenly yanks Haruka throwing her between the middle ropes to the outside but Haruka holds on dragging him outside with her. Haruka rolls back inside as Alex follows but is caught with a Running Knee to the gut as he gets back up into the ring. Alex keels over as Haruka begins to hammer to the back of his neck with repeated strikes. Haruka gets Alex up against the ropes and pounds on his chest having him trapped amidst the ropes. This match sure is not going the way Alex hoped for his debut I am sure.
James Peters: Alex Mathews collapses to the outside as Haruka Kashimashi follows him. Alex tries to pull himself up on the apron but Haruka grabs the leg of Alex tripping him out from under himself as he falls down on his back in a painful manner. Haruka has Alex down on the apron as she begins to club into his chest repeatedly leaving a giant red mark from the impact of her recent strikes. Haruka positions Alex across the apron before running across and connecting with a Guillotine Legdrop across his neck crushing him and hurting him badly. Alex rolls backwards into the ring as Haruka continues to stomp away at him just going off completely. Haruka lifts Alex up and grabs him by the leg and hits an Atomic Drop dropping him right back down. Alex just can’t catch a break as Haruka yanks his leg and drags it over to the bottom rope using it for leverage as she drops her knee right into that leg repeatedly.
Rich Russillo: Haruka Kashimashi connects with a Running Senton on top of Alex Mathews! You know she is determined to get her career back on track and she seems like she is going to do that tonight no matter how much her opponent has to suffer as a result. Haruka twists the legs of Alex and turns it into a Figure 4 Leglock. Haruka is now truly torturing Alex who may have no choice but to tap out. That would be a disappointing way to start his EAW career to be sure. He is refusing to tap out however but he is exhausted and falls back on his shoulders while in the Figure 4!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: But Alex Mathews jerks his shoulders back up refusing to be defeated! Alex reaches around behind him and somehow manages to reach the ropes forcing the break! Haruka Kashimashi immediately releases it but then stomps on Alex’s leg dragging him back to the center of the ring. Alex made the choice not to give up which means that Haruka will only have to hurt him more than she already has!!!
Persephone: Wow! I’m so happy!
Rich Russillo: Same! Alex Mathews clenching his teeth in rage as Haruka Kashimashi just grabs his leg once again twisting the ankle painfully. Haruka really going to force him to give up as Alex tries to grab on her hair but she bites his hand instead forcing him to back off! Alex kicks away at the head of Haruka trying to force her off him. Haruka falls backwards against the ropes as Alex gets back up she knocks him off his feet with a Running Shoulder Block. Alex drops down, using the ropes to get back up and stumbling in the corner. But Alex with the will to fight right back up! He charges at Haruka who catches him and slips around behind! Haruka hooks the arms and connects with a Flatliner!!! Haruka into the cover!!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR———-
James Peters: Kickout by Alex Mathews! Haruka Kashimashi is surprised even as she thought that Alex couldn’t take too much more up in here. Haruka grabs the leg of Alex and twists him around into a Half Boston Crab! Haruka putting all her weight into that devastating submission right in the middle of the ring! But Alex trying to overpower his way out of it! He forces himself off onto his back and kicks her away!!! But Haruka comes off the ropes with a Running Knee Strike right to the head knocking Alex the hell out! Now Haruka going up to the top rope! Haruka going high risk!!! She comes off the top as Alex gets right back on up to his feet! Haruka flies off the top rope with a Flying Clothesline!!!!
Rich Russillo: But Alex Mathews rolls out of the way! Haruka Kashimashi also rolls through on the Clothesline! Alex comes charging in at Haruka who punches him right in the nose! Alex falls back but Haruka wraps her arms around the waist of Alex and then tosses him backwards!!! Belly to Belly Suplex connects!!! Alex back up!! Haruka grabs him again with another Belly to Belly! She is taking Alex to Suplex City here tonight! Alex back up as he charges in again! He smartly ducks the grab from Haruka going for another Belly to Belly! But Haruka catches him with a Running Headbutt! She might have dazed herself there! She falls back into the corner holding her head! Alex charges in! But Haruka steps around behind and tosses Alex with a Snap Dragon Suplex out of nowhere!!! Haruka into a cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
James Peters: The kickout from Alex Mathews! Haruka Kashimashi is visibly angry now as Alex rolls out onto the apron. Haruka runs off the ropes looking to knock him off… but Alex gets the knee up and Haruka runs right into it! Alex leaps back into the ring with a Springboard Crossbody! But Haruka rolls through into a pin of her own!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: No! Only two! You really have to stop doing that queen! It never seems to actually be three when you do!
Persephone: But one day it will be. :wow:
James Peters: Both competitors back up! Alex Mathews wraps his hands together and comes charging in with a Double Axe Handle! But Haruka Kashimashi ducks beneath! It would then be the case that Haruka charged off towards the ropes charging back in towards Alex and locking her arms around his waist! At long last Haruka connects with the third Belly to Belly Suplex!
Rich Russillo: Haruka Kashimashi is rolling now as she poses for her fans before pulling up Alex Mathews! She has him in Powerbomb position looking to drop him and put him away once and for all! But Alex tosses her backwards with authority! ALEX NOW WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE, BUT HARUKA FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH ONE OF HER OWN, AND NOW SHE SWEEPS THE LEG BEFORE GOING FOR A PIN!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: THE KICKOUT!!! HARUKA KASHIMASHI DOESN’T CARE AT ALL THOUGH, AS SHE CONNECTS WITH SECTION 8.O AS SOON AS ALEX GOT UP!!! THE DESTINO CONNECTS!! SHE THEN GOES UP TO THE TOP ROPE!!! PRODIGIOUS LANDING!!! PHOENIX SPLASH ALSO CONNECTS!!! ALEX IS DOWN! HARUKA TO THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner!!! HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUKA KASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
( “W-B-X ～W-Boiled Extreme～” by Aya Kamiki [Feat. TAKUYA] hits to loud cheers from the crowd as Haruka Kashimashi has her arm raised victoriously by the referee.)
James Peters: YES! Haruka Kashimashi did it! She has returned to her winning ways!!
Rich Russillo: I’m sure her fans never doubted her, even after last week’s match! She never gave up hope and neither did they!
James Peters: Well Alex Mathews came up short in his EAW debut but the good news is that there is only up to go from here. He showed good resilience to last as long as he did against such a focused and determined Haruka and that is a good start for a career in my opinion. Hopefully he will do better next time!
(Haruka Kashimashi is shown celebrating with her fans as she heads backstage and the camera fades to black.)
(The final scene is of a victorious Haruka Kashimashi as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades backstage to Captain Charisma’s office, he was sitting on his desk just casually on his computer checking on his emails and to check any other work that he had to do for the night. Just then, he saw the door to his office open and it was none other than Eden Sinclair entering through it. She was on a phone call right now but before Captain Charisma could pick up anything of what she was saying, she hung up and a very joyous smile appeared on her face, due to everything that has happened the past few months, it was justifiable for him to think that wasn’t a good sign.)
Eden Sinclair: Oooohhh Matt! I got some great news that I am sure you would want to hear!
(And that didn’t sound good either, Captain Charisma was very disappointed about Eden’s recent actions, having to conspire with someone like Drake King and then fire TLA like that, he wasn’t very confident on this actually being good news for him or for everyone else but sadly, he had to deal with it. The Disney deal was still going on and he still had to work alongside Eden due to her being a Disney representative, either way, as the Commissioner of Voltage, he would make sure she didn’t step out of line. Captain Charisma cautiously closed his laptop and then looked directly at Eden.)
Captain Charisma: Alright then…what are these great news about?
Eden Sinclair: Ok so…I think I might have just found them.
Captain Charisma: Found who?
Eden Sinclair: The representative for the new Voltage! I have found the perfect candidate for all things Disney and they are the perfect kind of person to have here on Voltage. I was just on the phone with them and I was immediately impressed, they are like a real life princess! Like a character taken right out of a Disney film! Seriously Captain Charisma, you can’t imagine the kind of person that we have here in our hands. All season long I have been looking for people to be the face of the brand, and people that could be advertised for new fans of all ages. There were…a few bumps during the process of this search but the type of name I just talked to you about could bring in tons of new viewers and even play a part in helping the product. And after all of this time, it looks like I just finally found the right person!
(Eden looked incredibly excited and hyped about this new representative of hers, while Captain Charisma looked on with doubt. He wasn’t very trusting of this person Eden was talking about, she wasn’t even saying who they were! It was probably to keep it a surprise for him, but still, he didn’t want to take any risks.)
Captain Charisma: Eden…are you sure about this?
(Eden’s excitement dies down a bit when hearing Captain Charisma’s question, but she doesn’t waste time in responding.)
Eden Sinclair: Of course! I am very confident about this! I haven’t been as confident as I am during my whole career, this person is just the one that we need-
Captain Charisma: Alright, slow down. I know you are very excited about this, and I can see that, you just have to think a lot more when dealing with these kinds of decisions. You should know that things may not be what they seem at first sight, you might not get the kind of person you thought you would be bringing to Voltage. When taking care of a brand, you have to be careful on who to bring and who not.
Eden Sinclair: Don’t worry Captain Charisma, I can assure you that everything will end up going just fine! And just as I was saying, once this perfect Disney representative comes to Voltage, this brand will reach new heights in no time!
Captain Charisma: Well, if you say so, as you should know already, I-
Eden Sinclair: Yes, yes, I know Captain Charisma, you will always look out for this brand. I do as well, I will always do what’s best for Voltage and for Disney.
(Eden said that with her usual sweet smile before she quickly turned and she left the office while she closed the door behind her. Captain Charisma could only let out a sigh in response, she still didn’t learn. He just hoped this didn’t end up turning into another mess he had to deal with and resolve. He opened his laptop and continued working. But before Eden could continue on her work, just as she closed the door and turned to the hallway, she was immediately stopped when she saw the Ice Aces there right in front of her, and from their expressions, it was clear they weren’t very happy to have to face each other at Wicked Games.)
Eden Sinclair: Uhm…can you all please get out of the way? I have work to do right now.
Usagi Senshi: Oh no, we aren’t letting you walk away until you actually explain to us, about what you have done just last week. Do you think you can do this to us and expect it to go that easily? No, you can’t just pit us against each other like that just because you didn’t get your way at Territorial Invasion. After everything that we had to go through as a group and because of you, we aren’t going to be torn apart so easily. We aren’t going to split apart just for an opportunity to be in the Specialists Chamber.
Eden Sinclair: Whaaat? How can you ever accuse me of that? That was never my intention! I was just simply looking out for the qualifying matches that could be made for the Chamber and it just so happened this match idea came up-
Ayu Megumi: Stop, you think you are going to convince us with that made-up lie? We are not stupid.
(Eden’s smile slowly disappears as she hears that from Ayu, and a serious expression ends up replacing her smile. Both Ayu and Usagi don’t let up on explaining themselves.)
Ayu Megumi: You really think that after everything that you put us through, you are going to lie to our faces? I know what you are doing. We know what you are doing and you aren’t going to succeed. It is just going to be another disappointing failure on your part because we aren’t going to lay down for you once more and let you step over us. You can’t imagine how strong our bond is, how strong it became because of all the times we were knocked down from all of the setbacks; from people like you wanting to get rid of our friendship. But no matter what you throw us, no matter what you do, our bond is never going to be torn apart. We aren’t willing to fight amongst each other and if there is no chance at all that we can avoid this match, then we are going to go in with our heads held up high, entering with our bond forged in iron. At Wicked Games, the best woman in the match will win and all of us will come out of it better.
Usagi Senshi: Seriously, what is the need with having to book this match and make us fight against each other? We know what you are doing, it is clear to us and everyone watching but you are just going to end up failing miserably and honestly, you are kind of wasting our time here. Do you think we are suddenly going to start acting differently towards each other? Start turning on each other? You must be out of your mind thinking that is going to happen because we have been through a lot together already; a lengthy friendship with Aria and a relationship of many years with Ayu. This isn’t anything new for us. No matter what setbacks we faced, the Ice Aces have stuck together despite what has been thrown at us. So if splitting us is what you want then you should just give up now because it is not going to happen. And really, because of this you shot yourself in your own foot. Any of us could win the Specialists Championship and bring it to Voltage, but you threw away the chances of the title coming to this brand away because we aren’t willing to follow your orders.
(Eden simply took it all in, standing there without flinching before she frowned slightly and slowly spoke up.)
Eden Sinclair: Look, I can understand what you are saying, all of your reasons and how strong your friendship is or whatever, but sorry, the match has already been made official and complaining about it won’t get you anywhere, you are just going to have to live with it.
(Eden simply shrugs and turns around to leave the other way, but someone quickly walks over and stops her right in front of her tracks. ARIA. She stayed silent the whole time but now that Eden was leaving, she wasn’t going to miss her chance to ask something.)
ARIA: One last question…just…why? Why do you do this?
(Eden stands confused for a moment before she responds.)
Eden Sinclair: What do you mean? I do what is best for Voltage and Disney-
ARIA: No…the real reason why you did it.
(The two of them glare at each other as Eden stays silent for a moment before speaking once more.)
Eden Sinclair: …I just told you, didn’t I?
(Eden responded coldly, before she turned her back on them and she walked away without looking back. ARIA turned back to Usagi and Ayu and all three of the Ice Aces were very much frustrated because of the result they got from this. It was clear by this point what they actually had to do, they actually had to fight between each other. But just like they said as well, the Ice Aces weren’t going to be torn apart that easily. The three of them quickly left on their own and Voltage faded away from backstage and into a commercial break.)
(Commercial break for Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited Services featuring Kassidy Heart. She is currently reading ‘The Wife Between Us’ by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, which is one of the thousands of books available to borrow and return!)
(Voltage fades to ringside and Bella Braxton has a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“Spaceship II” by Alex Wiley, Chance The Rapper plays as the crowd immediately boos, and Sierra doesn’t care, just soaking in the negative reaction. She has a confident look on her face as she usually would, making her way to the ring without much urgency as she clearly feels she is on her own time.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA….WEIGHING IN AT 132 POUNDS..”THE CROWN JEWEL”……SIIEERRRAAA EVVERRREETTTTTT!!!!
Rich Russillo: She’s smiling after last week?
James Peters: She looks to have no remorse for what she did to Hikari last week. It’s been a while since we’ve seen something as vicious as that. She looks to keep momentum going for herself after taking Diamond Dixon out indefinitely at Territorial Invasion.
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays as the crowd goes absolutely wild for TLA. He scans around the arena and embraces the reaction before making his way to the ring, and TLA also has a confident look on his face much like his opponent, though with TLA he is clearly pleased by the reaction from the fans in the arena who are glad to see him tonight.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT….FROM TLAXCALA, MEXICO… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…HE IS “THE BADDEST HOMBRE ON THE PLANET”….T….L….A!!!!!
Rich Russillo: He’s back, and he’s staying forever after Drake and Eden failed to take him out :blessed:! He made a statement last week in taking out Drake, but tonight he looks to get a proper win after his match last week ended in a disqualification.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Rich Russillo: And this match is underway as both Sierra and TLA step out from their respective corners, and then they lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up. TLA gets her in a side headlock, but Sierra pushes him off and TLA rebounds off the ropes and takes Sierra down with a shoulder tackle. TLA runs off the ropes once more, but Sierra flips on her stomach as TLA leaps over her and runs off the opposite ropes… BUT SIERRA DELIVERS A DROPKICK! TLA now rolling back to his feet.
James Peters: Kick to the midsection from Sierra as she is perhaps looking for a DDT, but TLA spins out of it before throwing a roundhouse kick….but Sierra ducks in, and I think TLA was expecting that as he transitions into a double leg lariat taking Sierra down. Sierra is up in the corner and TLA charges full speed…but Sierra stops him dead in his tracks with an elbow strike which backs TLA up a few feet. Sierra looks back before springboarding off of the second rope and taking TLA down with a crossbody following it with the pin!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO l!!!
James Peters: And an early kickout from TLA and Sierra was expecting it as she mounts on top of TLA going back on the attack! Sierra throws several elbow strikes to the face as TLA tries his best to cover up, but isn’t having much luck. Now Sierra picks TLA up and then picks him up in a fireman’s carry, but TLA fights out of it with several elbows to the side of the face before slipping out from behind. Sierra turns around and walks into a high knee from TLA across the bridge of the nose before rolling out of the ring. The crown boos before TLA just shrugs his shoulders…
Persephone: AND TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES OUT SIERRA WITH A TOPE CON HILO ON THE OUTSIDE!! PICTURE PERFECT FROM TLA AS TLA STANDS AND PUMPS UP THE CROWD! TLA picks her up and tosses her back in the ring before climbing up the apron. He waits for Sierra to turn around, AND THEN HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE – BUT SIERRA CATCHES HIM WITH A SOCCER KICK! TLA is a sitting duck now hanging in between the ropes as Sierra hops on the second rope….AND THEN DRIVES BOTH KNEES ON BACK IF TLA’S NECK BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra doesn’t waste any time in going back on offense backing up to the corners waiting for TLA to stand up. TLA rises up and turns around….AND HERE COMES SIERRA WITH A SPINNING LARIAT – BUT TLA DUCKS IT AND THEN DELIVERS REPETITIVE PALM STRIKES AND KICKS TO THE LOWER BODY! TLA backs up a few feet and then goes for a roundhouse kick, BUT SIERRA PICKS HIM UP ON THE SHOULDERS IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! SHE GOES FOR A BUCKLE BOMB IN THE CORNER – BUT TLA REVERSES IT INTO A HURRICANRANA AS SIERRA HITS THE TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST BEFORE DROPPING ON HER KNEES IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: Here comes TLA who charges full speed and drives both knees into the back on her neck in the corner. TLA doesn’t stop there as he quickly ascends up to the top rope and balances himself up high – “THE 420” SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! BUT SIERRA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AS TLA CRASHES AND BURNS!! Sierra and TLA crawl separately to opposite sides of the ring and pull themselves back up to their feet. And Sierra is up first before charging full speed at TLA….BUT TLA COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP SENDING SIERRA OVER THE TOP ROPE LANDING AWKWARDLY HEAD FIRST ON THE OUTSIDE!!
Rich Russillo: And now what does TLA have in mind here? UH OH! Sierra is up on the outside…AND TLA SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A SPRINGBOARD “420” SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON THE STANDING SIERRA ON THE OUTSIDE!!! WOW! And TLA immediately rolls her back in the ring before he climbs up the apron and climbs up top once more – AND A SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM TLA ON TOP OF SIERRA AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: BUT SIERRA GETS HER SHOULDER UP! And now TLA thinks of his next move in this match before picking Sierra up by her head, but Sierra begins to fight out of his grip with several body blows to the ribs….AND THEN A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM SIERRA THAT DRIVES TLA BACK A FEW FEET! And Sierra charges once more, BUT TLA CATCHES HER WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER…BUT SIERRA REVERSES THAT INTO A SPINNING HURRICANRANA! I think that may have caught TLA a little bit off guard there.
Rich Russillo: I think so too as TLA quickly rises back up to his feet, AND THEN SIERRA ROLLS THROUGH WITH THE ARM AND HAS THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR ON TLA! TLA IS IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE AS SIERRA MIGHT PULL THE ARM OUT OF ITS SOCKET! TLA IS REFUSING TO GIVE UP AS HE EYES THE ROPES AND TRIES TO REACH FOR IT WITH HIS FREE HAND – BUT HE STILL US TOO FAR! SIERRA IS SCREAMING AT HIM TO TAP AS TLA BEGINS TO USE THE WEIGHT ADVANTAGE HE HAS AND DRAGS HIMSELF TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE, HE’S ALMOST INCHES AWAY….
James Peters: Sierra sees that TLA is about to get there and she lets go before dragging TLA back to the center of the ring and she tries to lock the armbar in once again, but TLA has his fingers locked refusing to let it happen… AND THEN TLA FLIPS ON HIS KNEES AND DRIVES HIS FOREARM INTO HER FACE CAUSING HER TO LET GO OF HIS ARM! TLA now looks like he may have avoided disaster there as he stands up holding his arm in a little bit of pain, and then he waits for Sierra to stand. Sierra is back up to her feet now as TLA runs off the ROPES, BUT SIERRA SIDESTEPS IT SENDING HIM TO THE OPPOSITE ROPES AS SIERRA RUNS OFF THEM HERSELF AND THEY RUN AT ONE ANOTHER – AND SIERRA TAKES HIM OUT WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE BEFORE TURNING HIM OVER AND GOING FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: BUT TLA GETS THE SHOULDER UP STAYING IN IT! Now it’s Sierra who thinks of what to do next here before she makes her way over to the corner and begins to ascend to the top rope. She pretty much is begging for TLA to stand and face her. He does, AND THEN SIERRA LEAPS OFF GOING FOR “THE HIGHS AND THE LOWS!!!!!” AND IT CONNECTS!! THE PICTURE PERFECT TOP ROPE STUNNER FROM SIERRA! SIERRA GOES TO GRAB TLA FOR THE COVER, BUT TLA USES HIS RING AWARENESS AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, AND SIERRA IS NOT PLEASED WITH HERSELF THAT SHE LET TLA ESCAPE RIGHT THERE!
Persephone: Sierra again wants TLA to stand up. She runs off of the ropes – AND DRIVES TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!! BUT NO!!! TLA MOVED AT THE LAST SECOND AND SIERRA LANDS HARD FACE FIRST ON THE OUTSIDE! TLA takes a moment balancing himself against the steps to catch his breath and recuperate before picking Sierra up and tossing her back inside of the ring. TLA follows right behind her and stalks her like a predator stalks it’s prey. Sierra turns around and….”THE SWAG SHOT” TIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!!! THAT STUNS SIERRA BACK AND SHE STUMBLES OFF THE ROPES RIGHT BACK TO TLA – “THE CARTEL KICK” FROM TLA AS HE NOW GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA STAYS ALIVE JUST BARELY KICKING OUT!! TLA is a bit shocked that that combo wasn’t enough. But he doesn’t let it get to him as he looks to go right back on the attack, He picks her up and places her between the legs….I think we all know what he’s trying to do, BUT BEFORE WE COULD KNOW SIERRA ESCAPES OUT OF IT WITH A BACK BODY DROP!! Both of them are down now and it’s a matter of who gets to their feet first.
James Peters: Sierra and TLA both stand and turn around to face one another, and then Sierra swings at his head but TLA DUCKS AND HOOKS THE ARMS FROM BEHIND AND HITS A TIGER SUPLEX AS SIERRA LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!! Sierra gets in a seated position in the corner, AND TLA CHARGES LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO THE FACE! TKA doesn’t stop there as he quickly goes up top and – “420” SHOOTING STAR FOR THE SECOND TIME … AND FOR THE SECOND TIME IT DOESN’T CONNECT AS SIERRA GETS HER KNEES UP! AND OH NO!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA SMOOTHLY TRANSITIONS AND FOR THE SECOND TIME HAS HER “SILENT HILL” FUJIWARA ARMBAR LOCKED IN! IS TLA GOING TO SURVIVE AGAIN OR IS SIERRA GOING TO PICK UP ONE OF THE BIGGEST WINS ON HER CAREER? TLA AGAIN ISN’T MAKING IT EASY REFUSING TO TAP OUT!! TLA is trying to drag himself to the ropes but it doesn’t look like he has a lot of strength left…AND OUT OF DESPERATION HE STRETCHES HIS LOWER BODY OUT AND JUST BARELY GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AS SIERRA IS FORCED TO LET GO!!
Persephone: Sierra doesn’t look all too happy here, AND THEN SIERRA BEGINS STOMPING THE ABSOLUTE LIFE OUT OF TLA! Sierra trying her best to target the arm before quickly getting TLA off the and bends him down backwards… SHE’S GOING FOR “APHRODITE’S KISS!!” BUT TLA.USES HIS FLEXIBILITY AND DRIVES HE KNEE INTO HER HEAD WHICH CREATES A LITTLE BIT OF SEPARATION! Sierra charges at him, BUUT TLA REVERSES WITH AN ARM DRAG…AMD OH MY GOD!! TLAA TRANSITIONS INTO “CROSSED PATHS!!!” A CROSS ARMBREAKER OF HIS OWN ON SIERRA AS SIERRA BEGINS TO PANIC NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO!!!
Rich Russillo: After being locked in Sierra’s armbar twice, TLA has his on Sierra as she is kicking her legs in panic. TLA pulling on that arm as Sierra tries to reach out for the ropes with her free hand. CAN SHE GET THERE…….AND SHE DOES GRABBING AHOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE FORCING THE BREAK! TLA let’s go and rolls away before standing up. Was the damage done though? Sierra stirs back to her feet and turns around as TLA is waiting for her and puts her in position- HE LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR THE “MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!” BUT SIERRA OUT OF DESPERATION DRIVES TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER!!
James Peters: SHOULDER THRUST FROM SIERRA! ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER BEFORE LIFTING TLA ON THE TOP ROPE! Sierra looks to be going for something…SHE IS GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA, BUT TLA DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN, AND NOW IT’S A BATTLE FOR CONTROL ON THAT TOP ROPE!! Both of them exchanging shots with each other…UNTIL TLA HITS A “VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!!!” TLA STOPS SIERRA FROM FALLING AND NOW HE’S SETTING UP SOMETHING – TLA LEAPS OVER SIERRA AND HITS A REVERSE HEADSCISSORS SPIKING SIERRA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT FROM THE TOP ROPE!! OH MY LORD!!! AND TLA TURNS HER OVER AND MAKES THE COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!?! SIERRA STAYS ALIVE!! And TLA can’t believe that didn’t put Sierra away. TLA crawls away and pulls himself up with the ring ropes and begins to measure Sierra up as she tries to stir back to her feet. Sierra is on a knee as TLA charges going for a running knee to the face, BUT SIERRA DUCKS IT AND THEN RUNS UP BEHIND TLA AND HAS THE BACKSLIDE PIN ON HIM!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEE!!!!
James Peters: TLA ESCAPES OUT OF IT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME BEFORE BOTH RACE TO THEIR FEET….AND THEN SIERRA TAKES HIM OUT WITH A RUNNING CROSSBODY!! Sierra buys herself some valuable time here as they are both down once more. Sierra stirs back to her feet, AND THIS TIME IT’S SIERRA WHO GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE TO TLA ON HIS KNEES, AND TLA COUNTERS THIS TIME SIDESTEPPING IT,AND THEN GOES FOR A “SWAG SHOT”….
Persephone: BUT SIERRA CATCHES THE. HAND BEFORE TOSSING IT ASIDE…AND THEN SIERRA DELIVERS A VICIOUS SLAP OF HER OWN THAT STUNS TLA DOWN TO A KNEE!! And Sierra now feels the momentum now is completely in her favor and she runs and springboards off the second rope….BUT TLA DELIVERS A “VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT” IN MID AIR!!! AND TLA DROPS DOWN ON SIERRA GOING FOR THE COVER AND THE VICTORY!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEE!!!
James Peters: SIERRA KICKS OUT AGAIN! TLA just shakes his head before picking Sierra up quickly – A ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT CATCHES TLA OUT OF NOWHERE, AND THEN SIERRA DROPS TLA WITH A SITTING FACEBUSTER! Momentum is coming at a premium for both of these competitors right now, throwing everything they have at one another. It’s just a matter of who wants it more at this point.
Rich Russillo: Both of them begin to stir once more to their feet, and then Sierra grabs him by the arm and pulls him in AND DELIVERS A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! Sierra might have TLA right where she wants him now as – “THE APHRODITE’S KISS!!” THE ROLLING CUTER AS SIERRA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE VICTORY!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
James Peters: DID SHE GET HIM?! NO IT WAS ONLY TWO AND A HALF AS SIERRA IS IN DISBELIEF!! Now what does Sierra have to do in order to put TLA away? Sierra picks TLA up slowly by his head…BUT TLA TAKES SIERRA DOWN WITH A DRAGON SCREW! Momentum looks to have bounced TLA’s way now as he runs up on Sierra from behind and goes for the zig zag – BUT SIERRA HOLDS ON TO THE ROPES AS TLA FALLS FLAT ON HIS BACK! SIERRA TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS DRIVING BOTH OF HER FEET INTO THE HEART OF TLA!!! And now what does she have in mind?
Rich Russillo: She rolls underneath the bottom rope and climbs up top once more here, AND SHE GOES FOR A FROG SPLASH..BUT NOBODY HOME AS TLA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!! Will that risk by Sierra end up costing her this match? TLA is in the corner and measures up Sierra who stands holding her ribs, dropkick from behind and Sierra is in position on the second rope! TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS “305!!!” THE TIGER FEINT KICK CONNECTS AS TLA NOW CLIMBS UP THE TOP ROPE NEXT TO HIM, AND A FROG SPLASH FOLLOW THE “305” AS TLA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE VICTORY, IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH?!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: NO IT IS NOT AS SIERRA GETS HER SHOULDER UP AT TWO AND A HALF!!! WOW WHAT A MATCH AS TLA LIES DOWN IN EXHAUSTION THINKING OF WHAT. NEXT TO DO IN ORDER TO PUT SIERRA AWAY! TLA stands up and then backs up into the corner and stands high on the second rope…. just begging Sierra to stand up….HE LEAPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE, BUT SIERRA DELIVERS A SHOT TO THE RIBS IN MID AIR STOPPING HIM FROM WHATEVER HE HAD PLANNED!
Persephone: Sierra now is like a shark that smells blood in the water and she drives the knee as hard as she can into the side of his head!! She follows that up, AND SHE HAS TLA IN PRIME POSITION FOR “MOUNT EVERETT!!”…..BUT TLA STILL IS FIGHTING BACK AS HE ESCAPES FROM HER GRIP, AND THEN HITS A STEP UP KNEE TO THE FACE!! AND THEN SIERRA DRILLS TLA WITH A SUPERKICK THAT CAUSES TLA TO STUMBLE INTO THE CORNER! HERE COMES SIERRA WHO RUNS AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO THE CHEST FOLLOWED BY A MONKEY FLIP AS TLA LANDS HARD ON HIS BACK!! SIERRA QUICKLY CLIMBS UP TOP AND GOES FOR THE FROG SPLASH AGAIN – AND IT CONNECTS AS SHE GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER ON TLA, WILL THIS DO IT?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
Persephone: NO!!! TLA kicks out again and Sierra pounds the mat in some frustration. Sierra slowly picks him up from behind and has in in position for “Aphrodite’s Kiss” once more – BUT TKA SPINS OUT OF IT BEFORE DELIVERING A JUMPING DOUBLE LEG LARIAT TAKING DOWN SIERRA!! What is TLA going to do now to put the match away?
Rich Russillo: Both of them turn around to face each other…AN ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FROM TLA, SIERRA LOOKS OUT OF IT AS TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES, SIERRA SWINGS BUT HE DUCKS THEN SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE – AND THEN SPIKES SIERRA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH A TORNADO DDT!!! SIERRA MIGHT BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AS TLA QUICKLY GETS HER UP AND HAS HER IN THE PERFECT SPOT…..”THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!” TLA FINALLY HITS IT AND HE GOES TO MAKE THE COVE –
(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer hits and the crowd right away boos and TLA immediately turns his attention to the entrance stage, waiting for Drake King.)
Rich Russillo: OH NO, NO WAY!
James Peters: Drake King looks to be on his way out, and TLA is ready waiting for him! But wait!…
(Several second pass by before the song stops, and Drake is nowhere to be seen. TLA is confused, but before he could turn his attention back to the match….)
Rich Russillo: Drake playing a bit of mind games here – LOOK FROM BEHIND!!! SIERRA ROLLS UP TLA FROM BEHIND AS TLA WAS DISTRACTED!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA’S GOT THE TIGHTS! SHE’S GOT A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Spaceship II” by Alex Wiley, Chance The Rapper plays as Sierra quickly rolls out of the ring and TLA is obviously fumed on how this match just ended.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…..SIIERRRAAA EVVERRREETTTTT!!!!
James Peters: Sierra just pinned TLA! You can chalk up the assist to Drake though who gave Sierra the distraction she needed to strike, also don’t forget the handful of tights she had also. TLA is not happy in the slightest on how this match was just stolen from him
(The camera switches to Sierra celebrating and gloating about her win on the entrance ramp.)
James Peters: LOOK BEHIND SIERRA!! IT’S HIKARI KANNO!!! HIKARI KANNO ATTACKS HER FROM BEHIND AND SHE IS RELENTLESS IN THIS ATTACK RIGHT NOW!! HIKARI IS NOT IN A GOOD MOOD AFTER HAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK TAKING ALL OF THAT ANGER OUT ON SIERRA!!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI IN A RAGE PICKS HER UP AND THROWS HER INTO THE ENTRANCE STAGE!!! HIKARI MOUNTS OVER THE TOP OF SIERRA AAAND AGAIN JUST BEGINS HAMMERING AWAY DELIVERING SEVERAL STIFF ELBOW SHOTS!! AND SIERRA IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!!
Persephone: OMG BLOOD?! 😁…..I MEAN 😫
James Peters: SIERRA IS HELPLESS AS HIKARI CONTINUES TO POUND AT HER BLOODY FACE!! AND HERE COMES SECURITY DRAGGING HIKARI OFF OF SIERRA, AS HIKARI IS KICKING AND SCREAMING TRYING TO ESCAPE SECURITY’S GRASP AS THEY DRAG HER TO THE BACK!
(Hikari is forcefully dragged to the back as officials come out and immediately puts a towel over Sierra’s face covering up her bloody face, which isn’t shown very well as the camera cuts away from the blood. The show fades to black from there.)
(Voltage opens up backstage where we see Natasha Agnello furiously walking down the back hallways. There is no question that she is still upset about the events that happened after Theron’s match with Kylie Grace last week ESPECIALLY since the door she is walking up to is none other than Dr. Doyle’s. Natasha eventually steps in front of the door and aggressively bangs on it with her fists in an obnoxiously loud way.)
Natasha Agnello: DR. DOYLE!!! I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU!!!
(No answer. Natasha takes a step back with her arms crossed. The expression on her face indicates that she is clearly annoyed about not getting a single response. Having seen a lot of things through the years, it’s very hard to rattle Natasha but last week had ignited something in her and she wanted to let Dr. Doyle know about it.)
Natasha Agnello: Ugh…
(Natasha turns around, and is about to walk away until a loud sound can be heard from the other side of the door. It’s likely something fell from Dr. Doyle’s desk. Something like a cup based on the rattling noise that was made. Not only that, but mumbling words can be heard as well. Someone is in there, and Natasha knows it. She’s frozen in place with a smile emerging on her face. She slowly turns around, and makes her way back over to the door where she begins to speak out to the person behind the door even if they don’t respond. )
Natasha Agnello: You know.. What happened last week was absolutely reckless and could have been prevented, however, it doesn’t seem like you have much of a grip on Samael. Well you need to get better control over him and keep an eye on your client, Dr. Doyle! Sort out this mess, because people like Theron Nikolas don’t deserve to be attacked after going through a match. Theron had absolutely no reason to be attacked and had nothing to do with Samael. He simply just beat Kylie Grace. How can Theron be better than ever before when he can’t even fight his matches without worrying about being attacked by someone he has nothing to do with? That attack should have never happened and you better have something in mind to end this nonsense or else Theron and I will have to sort it out ourselves. You hear that?!
(Suddenly, the door bursts open.)
???: Shut up already..
(Out steps none other than Caine. We know it’s Caine based on his last statement towards Natasha, and the evil smirk he has on his face.)
Natasha Agnello: Oh it’s ya-
Caine: I said shut up lady..
Natasha Agnello: Excuse me?!?
Caine: You heard me.. Just like I heard you from the other side of the door.. But if you’re really that deaf then let me tell you again.. Shut. Up. You’re annoying. Like really? Throwing around threats like you think you and Theron can actually set things straight with Samael? Do you two like playing with your lives? Does it give you a type of thrill or some type of rush knowing that your life is in complete danger? Because the absolute LAST thing that you or anyone wants to do is get involved with The Grimmy Grim Reaper. Trust me on that. When you get as close to the guy as I am, then you end up realizing.. This man is absolutely crazy and could kill a man if he wanted to. Now that’s not something I would get involved with if I were you. I mean did you see what he did to Theron last week? Made him look pitiful is what he did. Honestly, I don’t even know what you saw that made you actually believe that Theron could do anything to sort anything out for Samael.. Because the way I see it, Theron is just setting up his deathbed when he has you making threats like the one you just made towards my pal Samael. Personally, I don’t care about your threat, because I know you don’t have what it takes to bring down Samael with Theron, and if you do try anything slick, Samael will just tear you to shreds. That barbaric and ruthless fool he is.. That’s his fight. Not mine. But it would be so unfortunate for Theron if it ever got that far now wouldn’t it?
(Caine looks at Natasha with a sinister smile that pisses her off.)
Natasha Agnello: You don’t know who your deali-
Caine: I thought I told you to shut up.. Why are you still talking?
(Natasha rolls her eyes, then turns around as she doesn’t want to deal with how rude and disrespectful Caine is being. Natasha then begins to step away, until Caine grabs her by the wrist.)
Caine: Hey.. Where are you going?! Did I get under your skin a little bit?? I said to shut up.. Not walk away. When you talk a big game like you have been, I’m sure you have enough time to hang around until Samael arrives..
(Natasha Agnello tries to pull her arm away, but Caine continues gripping tightly. The smile on his face only grows wider. It becomes so evil that the look on his face is horrifying. Natasha’s eyes grow wider, and it is clear she is fearing what is to come.)
Caine: What’s wrong? Are you scared? Scared of me? Little old Caine. Not even the monster known as Samael that you will force to straighten out right? Ahahahaha the look on your face.. The fear in your eyes.. It just.. It makes me feel so.. So Alive!!!
(The camera zooms in on the grip that Caine has on Natasha Agnello’s wrists. The screen reveals that the grip is growing even stronger, as his fingers begin to penetrate into the wrists of Natasha.)
Natasha Agnello: Let me go…
(Out of nowhere, the expression on Caine’s face goes from a wide sinister smile to a horrifying look of destruction.)
Samael: I THOUGHT WE TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!!!
(It’s Samael! He has taken over the body of Justin, and he has been unleashed! Natasha tries to tug her arm away and break free, but Samael pulls her in and biel tosses her up against the wall beside the entrance to Dr. Doyle’s office! Samael then grabs Natasha, raises her up to her feet, then walks her down the hallway before tossing her into a rack of steel chairs!! The entire rack drops on top of Natasha, as the remaining chairs slip from the rack hooks and fall onto her as well! Samael then walks over to Natasha Agnello, but look who it is running down the hall! It’s none other than Dr. Doyle!!)
Dr. Doyle: Samael!! Stop!! Samael please stop!!! Let her go!!
(Samael looks over at Dr. Doyle who is still running towards the madness happening outside of his office. Samael then walks over to Natasha Agnello who is buried under chairs and the rack itself. The Grim Reaper kicks off the debris of chairs, then reaches down to grab the entire chair rack. He raises the rack high above his head, then tosses it towards Dr. Doyle, as it lands right in front of the psychotherapist, and blocks him reaching Samael and Natasha.)
Dr. Doyle: HELP!! WE NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!
(Samael turns his head back towards Natasha Agnello, then drops down to his knees beside her. He raises his arm up.. THEN EXECUTES THE DEATH ROW!! MANDIBLE CLAW BY SAMAEL IS LOCKED IN, AND DR. DOYLE CAN’T DO ANYTHING BUT TRY TO MAKE HIS WAY AROUND THIS CHAIR RACK THAT IS BLOCKING THE HALLWAY! SAMAEL CONTINUES PRESSING HIS FIST DOWN THE THROAT OF NATASHA AS SHE SCREAMS AND TRIES TO FIGHT HIM OFF! Eventually, her screams begin to quiet down, as she begins to fade from being suffocated by the move.)
Dr. Doyle: STOP THIS RIGHT NOW SAMAEL!!!
(Samael continues to use his mandible claw until finally, backstage security rips his arm from out of her throat! Samael shoves one security guard back. Then he shoves another! Now a third security guard is shoved back! However, the numbers game begins to take advantage of Samael, as 15 more Security Guards rush to the scene and eventually detain Samael with the help of Dr. Doyle. Samael is being held down against the ground, as Dr. Doyle begins to speak to him.)
Dr. Doyle: Listen to me Samael!! You don’t want to do this!! This isn’t you!! Save the energy for your match and leave her alone!! Please!!!
(Medical Staff makes their way to the scene now, as they begin to help Natasha Agnello with her injuries. Meanwhile, Dr. Doyle and the security guards raise Samael up to his feet, and immediately he tries to go right after Natasha who is already out cold on the concrete floor. She’s helpless and yet Samael still wants to rip her to shreds even after Dr. Doyle has begged him not to. The monster known as Samael surely doesn’t listen to a single word from Dr. Doyle, and tries to break free from security, however, six more security guards come in and pull Samael away. Samael is rampant right now, however, with 24 security guards and Dr. Doyle, they manage to escort Samael away from Natasha and towards the entrance to the stage for his next match. Dr. Doyle can be seen staring at Natasha while walking Samael away from her.)
Dr. Doyle: I’m so very sorry, Natasha..
(The screen then shows Natasha Agnello out cold while the medical staff try to help her out. They have medical kits and are going to work on her, but it’s quite obvious that the damage has been done. Her eyes remain shut, and eventually the scene fades out.)
(Promotional ad for Wicked Games plays showing highlights of EAW World Champion, Minerva, and her challenger, Hardcore Champion, Charlie Marr. Watch these two square off for the EAW World Championship when Wicked Games comes to you on Disney Plus, November 5th!)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is set for!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT’ by Setsuna Yuki hits, as the crowd erupts into cheers. After a moment, Ayu Megumi steps out onto the stage and looks out to the crowd. She closes her eyes, nods to the crowd, then wishes herself good luck. She then opens her eyes, and makes her way down the entrance ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first!!From Okinawa, Japan!! Weighing 115lbs!!! AYU!!! MEGUMI!!!
James Peters: And here comes Ayu Megumi. A few weeks ago, her and the other members of the Ice Aces turned on Eden Sinclair at Territorial Invasion.. And as a result, a major bombshell was dropped last week.
Rich Russillo: You got that right! If Ayu wants to break out and win the opportunity to fight in the Specialists Chamber at Road to Redemption, she needs to beat the other Ice Aces at Wicked Games!
Persephone: That was huge news for all of us. We all knew Eden would have something up her sleeve, but I don’t think any of us imagined a situation like that.
(Red lights begin to flash throughout the arena, as ‘Down With the Sickness’ by Disturbed begins to play. The crowd erupts into boos, as Samael steps out onto the stage riled up and uncontrollable. He is obviously still wild from his encounter with Natasha Agnello moments ago, and now all of this energy is going to be let loose on Ayu Megumi.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent!! Weighing 285lbs!! SAMAEL!!!
Rich Russillo: Samael looks absolutely dangerous. I don’t even know if it’s safe to be sitting this close to any action he partakes in!!
James Peters: Yeah, and after what happened with him and Natasha along with what happened to Theron last week, you never know what this man will do. Just keep an eye out and don’t let your guard down.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: There’s the bell, and this one is underway!
James Peters: AND IMMEDIATELY RIGHT OUT THE GATES ITS SAMAEL WHO RUSHES RIGHT AT AYU WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! Ayu side steps out of the way and avoids the boot to the face, as Samael runs up against the side ropes. The much larger Grim Reaper then turns his head, as he stares directly at Ayu. He’s ready to get this one going!!
Persephone: Well after all of the chaos that happened before this match, there’s no question why he’s so riled up right now. You both saw how bad he wanted to continue battering Natasha Agnello even after security had to hold him back. Samael is lusting for blood right now, and Ayu’s right at the top of the menu based on where she finds herself currently.
James Peters: Samael turns around now and charges at Ayu Megumi once again!!! RUNNING LARIAT BY SAMAEL!! NO!! Ayu ducks the arm, as Samael runs right past her!
Rich Russillo: The Grin Reaper chops his feet and stops in place. He then turns around.. BUT HE’S MET BY A PELE KICK FROM AYU MEGUMI!!!
James Peters: That one caught Samael right at the bridge of the nose, as he clutches at it in pain. Meanwhile, Ayu Megumi works her way up to her feet, and runs right back towards Samael!! What’s this?! She spins.. DISCUS LARIAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! SAMAEL GETS HIS ARM UP AND BLOCKS AYU’S LARIAT AS NOW HER ARM IS HOOKED WITH HIS!!
Persephone: Samael now grips the head of Ayu and.. HE PULLS IT IN TO DELIVER A HEADBUTT!!! ANOTHER ONE BY SAMAEL, AS NOW AYU DROPS DOWN A KNEE WITH HER HEAD STILL BEING HELD BY SAMAEL!!
Rich Russillo: Samael is sticking his tongue out in a horrifying way, and stares deeply into the eyes of Ayu. He then picks her up and lifts her up onto his shoulders!! Samael what are you thinking here!?!
James Peters: I think I have an idea, Rich!! Samael is charging towards the corner turnbuckles with Ayu on his shoulders!!! SNAKE EYES!!! SAMAEL JUST DROPPED AYU HEAD FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND SHE FELL RIGHT TO THE FLOOR IN AN INSTANT!! Ayu is clutching at her head and yelping out in pain after such a painful move from Samael!!
Rich Russillo: And look at this!! Samael drops down to his knee and that’s.. DEATH ROW!! HE’S GOING FOR HIS MANDIBLE CLAW!!!
Persephone: BUT AYU USES BOTH OF HER HANDS TO FIGHT OFF SAMAEL’S ARM!! She surely doesn’t want to get stuck in this submission, and.. Wait a second.. Ayu twists Samael around by hooking her leg over and pulling him down by his extended arm!! She then transitions into.. A GUILLOTINE CHOKE!! SHE HOOKS HER ARMS AROUND THE HEAD AND NECK OF SAMAEL AND GETS THE GUILLOTINE LOCKED IN!!!
Rich Russillo: Samael is trapped in this choke hold, and Ayu is doing everything she can to wrench his neck! She’s trying to pull his head off of his shoulders or even get him to pass out right here!’ Anything to get a quick finish against the much stronger and larger Samael!!
James Peters: I don’t think she’s going to get the finish she’s looking for, because Samael is somehow able to rise up to his hands and knees with Ayu still applying that guillotine chokehold!
Rich Russillo: You are absolutely right, James!! Samael has just made it up to his feet! He has his arms wrapped around the body of Ayu, as her legs squeeze his body while her arms are still hooked around his neck!! She hasn’t loosened her grip a single bit!! This is just a demonstration on how strong Samael really is!!!
Ayu Megumi: (Off-Mic) AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Persephone: THAT’S THE BEARHUG!!! SAMAEL SQUEEZES THE BODYBOD AYU MEGUMI, AS SHE RELEASES THE GRIP SHE HAD AROUND HIS HEAD!!! He then uses his head, and drives it right into the sternum while squeezing and pulling his opponent in tighter!!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi continues to yell out in pain. And how could she not? When Samael drives his head into her chest while squeezing her in the way that he is, that puts an unforgivable amount of pain onto the lower back and spine!!
James Peters: Ayu is suffering right now, and we all know that Samael’s strength has her on the verge of tapping out!! However, Samael has other plans, as he rushes towards the corner turnbuckles while still holding onto Ayu and.. SAMAEL BASHES HER RIGHT UP AGAINST THE CORNER!!! AYU IS SANDWICHED AND SQUISHED BETWEEN THE MUCH LARGER SAMAEL AND THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!!!
Rich Russillo: The wind had to be knocked right out of Ayu’s body. She’s leaned up against the corner, as Samael takes a step back.. He then steps back towards Ayu and.. KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST!!! AHH THAT ONE CREATES A HIGH PITCHED SOUND THAT CAN BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE ARENA!!! ANOTHER KNIFE EDGED CHOP BY SAMAEL!!! AND ANOTHER!!!!
Persephone: Just look at her chest! There’s a vibrant hand print stained onto her skin after those massive chops from Samael!!
James Peters: Those chops have to sting. And they’ll be stinging for a week, because the amount of power Samael put into those chops was unreal!!
Rich Russillo: Samael now takes a few steps back then sets himself up. What is he thinking here?!?
James Peters: RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE BY SAMAEL!!!
Persephone: NO!! AYU MEGUMI GOT HER BOOTS UP, AS SAMAEL RAN RIGHT INTO THEM!! The Grim Reaper clutches at his jaw as he is in obvious pain!!!
Rich Russillo: And look at this!! Ayu leaps over to the side ropes and launches herself back towards Samael!! SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! IT CONNECTS AND DROPS SAMAEL DOWN TO A KNEE!!!
James Peters: Ayu now grabs Samael by the arm, and pulls him in.. RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE!!! AYU JUST PULLED HIS FACE RIGHT INTO HER KNEE!!! THAT SHOT DROPS SAMAEL DOWN ONTO HIS HANDS AND KNEES, AS HE FACES THE RING MAT AND BREATHES HEAVILY!! THAT SHOT ROCKED THE GRIM REAPER!!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi isn’t done just yet. She reaches down and grabs Samael by the head. She slowly lifts him up to his feet, then shoves him up against the corner turnbuckles where.. SHE STRIKES HIM WITH HER OWN KNIFE EDGE CHOP!!!
Persephone: Getting a taste of his own medicine right here!! ANOTHER CHOP BY AYU!! ANOTHER!!! AND ANOTHER!!! Samael stays leaned up against the turnbuckles with his head hanging low, as Ayu Megumi begins to back away and heads towards the corner at the opposite end of the ring.
James Peters: She’s eyeing Samael like a hawk! She is focused and dialed in on this monstrous opponent and.. SHE CHARGES IN!!! AYU GOES FOR THE HELLUVA KICK!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!!! SAMAEL LOWERS HIS SHOULDER AND…
Persephone: HE JUST BACK BODY DROPPED AYU MEGUMI OVER THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE POST AND SHE’S HEADED FOR THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
James Peters: WAIT NO!! LOOK!! Ayu grabbed a hold of the top rope just as Samael went to launch her out towards the ringside floor!! She held onto that rope, and now instead she finds herself hanging off the side of the ring by gripping the top rope!!
Rich Russillo: And Samael walks right over to her. He stands inside of the ring by the side ropes, as she is hanging on the outside, barely able to keep hold of this top rope! However it doesn’t matter, because Samael reaches over the ropes and grips Ayus scalp with his right hand! HE’S PALMING HER HEAD LIKE HE’S PALMING A BASKETBALL, AND HE RAISES HER UP HIGH ENOUGH TO SET HER IN A STANDING POSITION ON THE RING APRON!
James Peters: POWERFUL RIGHT HOOK BY SAMAEL THAT NEARLY SENDS AYU DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! She keeps her grip on that top rope to prevent herself from falling, but now she’s low and hunched over.. Samael reaches over the ropes again to raise her up..
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE HE COULD GRAB HER, AYU PULLS THE ROPES AND DRIVES HER SHOULDER INTO THE MIDSECTION OF SAMAEL!!! THAT ONE KNOCKED THE WIND RIGHT OUT OF HIM!!
James Peters: That’s right, Rich. Look at how he’s clutching at his midsection. He’s definitely feeling that shoulder strike!
Persephone: ANOTHER SHOT BY AYU!!! SHE JUST DROVE HER SHOULDER INTO HIS MIDSECTION A SECOND TIME, AND NOW SAMAEL DROPS TO HIS KNEE!!!
James Peters: Ayu Megumi pulls herself back up to a standing position, as she looks directly at Samael who is rising back up to his feet..
Persephone: SAMAEL WITH A RIGHT HOOK!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! AYU MEGUMI DUCKS THE ARM AND.. SUPERMAN PUNCH!!! SHE JUST DELIVERED A SUPERMAN PUNCH THAT STAGGERS SAMAEL BACK!!! He drops down to a knee, as Ayu positions herself on the ring apron! Samael then rises up to his feet and..
James Peters: AYU WITH THE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH!!!!
Persephone: BUT SAMAEL CATCHES AYU MEGUMI IN MID AIR!! BY THE THROAT!!! HE HAS HIS HAND AROUND HER THROAT!!!
James Peters: YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!
Rich Russillo: CHOKESLAM!!!! SAMAEL JUST SENT AYU MEGUMI STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH THAT POWERFUL CHOKESLAM!!! THE HEIGHT!! THE ELEVATION!! WOW!!!
Persephone: Ayu looks absolutely out of it, but Samael isn’t done just yet!! This sick and twisted man wants to continue to brutalize his opponent!! He grabs Ayu, and raises her up to her feet!!
Rich Russillo: From here, he grabs her hand and rotates under their arms. Samael then takes steps back towards the corner and begins to climb up to the top rope!! Look!! Samael is now walking on the top rope while Still keeping hold of Ayu’s arms!! I think he’s thinking Old School!!
James Peters: WAIT!! AYU USES HER FREE ARM TO SHAKE THE TOP ROPE!! SAMAEL BEGINS TO LOSE HIS BALANCE!!!
Persephone: AND SHE USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL HIM DOWN AS HE FALLS FACE FIRST INTO A KNEE STRIKE!!!
James Peters: THAT WAS A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE!! WOW HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO PULL THAT ONE OFF?!?
Rich Russillo: I can’t answer that one, James. But what I can tell you is that knee strike has Samael nearly unconscious in the ring right now! This is Ayu’s opening and she needs to take advantage of the fact that Samael is hurt and down if she intends to win this match.
James Peters: Ayu struggles back to her feet. She slowly works her way over to the side ropes. Somehow, Samael is already back to his hands and knees, while working up to his feet!! Ayu sees this and rushes towards the other end of the ring! She runs right past Samael, and..
Rich Russillo: SHE SPRINGS OFF OF THE SIDE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH THE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT DDT!!
Persephone: That one really drilled Samael’s head into the canvas of the ring.
James Peters: And now it’s Ayu Megumi with the cover!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Rich Russillo: AND THERE’S THE KICKOUT BY SAMAEL!!! HE FORCED HIS SHOULDER UP WELL BEFORE THE REF COULD SAY THREE!!
Persephone: Ayu Megumi gets back up to her feet, then takes a few steps back. Samael remains flat on the canvas of the ring.. She runs towards him.. HANDSPRING CORKSCREW MOONSAULT BY AYU!!!
James Peters: NO!! SAMAEL GOT HIS KNEES UP, AS AYU CRASHED RIGHT DOWN INTO THEM!!!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi gasps for air and clutches at her midsection! She’s really hurting now!! BUT LOOK!!! ITS SAMAEL!! HE REPOSITIONS HIMSELF, HOOKS AYU’S ARM, AND.. HE LOCKS IN THE FUJIWARA ARM BAR!!!
Persephone: Ayu Megumi is screaming in pain, as her shoulder is nearly pulled right out of its socket!!
Rich Russillo: You add in the fact that Samael has nearly 200lbs of bodyweight on her, and well.. I just don’t know how much pressure her arm can take without snapping in half!!
James Peters: Ayu Megumi is clearly in pain! She’s screaming out at the top of her lungs. The power of Samael is just unbearable!! He’s filled with so much rage!! So much aggression!! So much thrill for destruction!!!
Rich Russillo: Well he’s been like this since his encounter with Natasha Agnello before the match even started!! Samael hasn’t cooled down a single bit, and even looks like he’s even my amped up that was before now that he has Ayu Megumi screaming in terror!!!
Persephone: He may just snap that arm!!
James Peters: THERE’S NOTHING STOPPING HIM!!! JUST TAP AYU!!! JUST TAP!!
Rich Russillo: SHE’S NOT TAPPING, JAMES!!! SHE’S GRABBED THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! SHE JUST GOT THE ROPE BREAK!!
James Peters: NO WAY!! AND SAMAEL RELEASES AYU’S ARM!!
Persephone: Ayu Megumi clutches at her left shoulder, and looks at Samael in fear. The way he was pulling her arm was almost as if he was intentionally trying to rip it right off of her body!!
Rich Russillo: I think Ayu realizes the type of danger she is in right now!! She’s scooting away from Samael, as Samael steps closer to her!! Samael reaches for Ayu..
James Peters: BUT AYU DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING WHILE HOLDING HER ARM! Samael isn’t too happy about this, as he now exits the ring!! Ayu is smart though as she’s making quite the distance between her and Samael here on the outside!!
Rich Russillo: Eventually she slides back into the ring and rushes towards the far ropes! She hits the ropes and rebounds back towards Samael who is just now getting back into the ring from the ring apron…
Persephone: AND SHE DELIVERS A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK THROUGH THE SIDE ROPES!!! THAT DROPKICK SENT SAMAEL CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
James Peters: Look at Ayu Megumi right now. She’s breathing heavily. She’s exhausted. She’s clutching at that shoulder, and she’s still hasn’t gotten up from that dropkick moments ago. She’s looking down at Samael. She sees that he’s down right now and understands that she needs to put this one away soon.
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi slowly works her way up to her feet, she looks over her shoulder, and sees Samael slowly moving on the outside!! She begins to step towards the side ropes, but stumbles on her feet!! She manages to regain her footing and continues towards the far ropes while driving herself forward with more effort every step!! She’s beginning to pick up speed, as she hits the ropes and rebounds back!!
Persephone: On the outside, Samael has just gotten back up to his feet..
Rich Russillo: BUT HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS HIM IS AYU MEGUMI!!! SUICIDE DIVE BY AYU MEGUMI!!!!
James Peters: AND SHE TRANSITIONS IT INTO A TORNADO DDT!!!!! SHE JUST SMACKED SAMAEL’S HEAD AGAINST THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
Rich Russillo: Both Ayu Megumi and Samael are down!! Ayu struggles up to her hands and knees and begins crawling her way towards the ring. She’s almost there!! Meanwhile, Samael is still down!!
Referee: One.. Two.. Three..
James Peters: Ayu Megumi continues to work her way towards the ring, and eventually pulls herself up by the edge of the ring. She leans against it, and looks back at Samael who is still down and has yet to move!!
Referee: Four.. Five..
Persephone: Ayu is looking at Samael and hoping he gets counted out!! She then turns to climb up onto the ring apron..
James Peters: AND SAMAEL SITS UP ABRUPTLY!!! HE THEN TURNS HIS HEAD AND STARES DEEP INTO THE EYES OF AYU MEGUMI!!!! Samael rises up to his feet, as Ayu enters the ring!!
Rich Russillo: It looks like Ayu Megumi just saw a ghost! The way Samael rose up so quick out of nowhere would have spooked me too!! She’s backing away from Samael who is climbing up onto the ring apron..
James Peters: BUT THEN SHE STEPS BACK UP!!!
Persephone: RYO NO IKARI!!!! SUPERKICK BY AYU MEGUMI!!! IT CONNECTS AND CATCHES SAMAEL RIGHT BELOW THE JAW!!
Rich Russillo: Samael’s head definitely snapped back after that nasty super kick, but somehow he still hangs on to the top rope. He remains on the ring apron, and that invites Ayu to.. GO FOR ANOTHER RYO NO IKARI!!!!!
James Peters: NO!!! SAMAEL BLOCKS THE LEG WITH HIS ARM, THEN SHOVES AYU A FEW STEPS BACK!! Samael then enters back into the ring..
Rich Russillo: AND HERE’S AYU RUSHING HIM WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!! THAT’S THE FATALITY!!!
Persephone: But Samael steps out of the way, as Ayu goes running right past him!! She hits the ropes, then rebounds back towards Samael!!! DISCUS CLOTHESLINE BY AYU!!!
James Peters: NO!!! SAMAEL DUCKS THE ARM AND CONTINUES RUNNING TO THE FAR ROPES!! He rebounds back towards Ayu as she turns around… RUNNING DDT!!! SAMAEL JUST SMACKED AYU’S HEAD AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE RING WITH A RUNNING DDT!!!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi is clutching at her head in pain after that one!! Samael gets to his feet, then reaches down to grab Ayu from off of the mat! He grabs her by the head… AND BASHES HIS HEAD INTO HERS WITH A HEADBUTT!!! ANOTHER HEADBUTT!! AND ANOTHER!!!
Persephone: Samael then grabs Ayu Megumi and places her on his shoulders. He then rushes towards the corner and attempts to toss him into the top turnbuckle with snake eyes!!!!
James Peters: BUT AYU SLIPS OUT THE BACK AND SHOVES SAMAEL INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! He hits the buckle padding hard, then rebounds back towards Ayu!!
Rich Russillo: HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW BY AYU MEGUMI!!! That elbow shoves him right back into the corner!!
James Peters: Ayu Megumi takes a few steps back, as Samael slowly works his way out of the corner. He steps towards Ayu.. BUT AYU RUSHES TOWARDS HIM AND GOES FOR THE TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN!!!
Rich Russillo: WAIT!! SAMAEL JUST GRIPPED AYU’S LEGS AND STOPPED HER FROM SPINNING AROUND HIM!! HE HAS HER UPSIDE DOWN!!! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!! SAMAEL JUST DRILLED AYU’S HEAD INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!
Persephone: AND LOOK THERE’S BLOOD!! THIS MATCH HAS TO END!! I mean.. THIS SUCKS!! THIS MATCH HAS TO END!!!
James Peters: You are absolutely right!! Ayu Megumi is busted open, and bleeding profusely right now! The referee sees this, separates Samael from Ayu Megumi, and calls for the bell!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Due to Ayu Megumi breaking the rules and shedding blooding in this match, this match has officially been stopped, and the winner by Disqualification is… SAMA-
James Peters: SAMAEL JUST SHOVED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOW HE’S HEADED AFTER THE BLEEDING AYU MEGUMI!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK!! ITS THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ICE ACES!!! USAGI AND ARIA ARE BOTH HERE!!! THEY BOTH MADE THEIR WAY TO RINGSIDE , AND THEY REACH THEIR ARMS INTO THE RING!! THEY PULL AYU MEGUMI OUT BY HER ANKLES, AND JUST IN TIME BEFORE SAMAEL COULD GET TO HER!!
Persephone: The Ice Aces are out here at ringside with Ayu Megumi’s blood all over them. She’s dripping puddles with every step she takes and.. Oh no.. SAMAEL WIPES THE BLOOD FROM AYU’S BLOOD PUDDLE IN THE RING ALL OVER HIS FACE, AND HEADS OUT OF THE RING TOWARDS THE ICE ACES!!!!
James Peters: The Ice Aces try to hurry away from Samael, but he’s only getting closer and closer to them!!!
Rich Russillo: LOOK!! IT’S DR. DOYLE!!!
(Dr. Doyle is seen at the top of the stage. He heads down the entrance ramp and eventually passes the Ice Aces who were heading the other direction. Dr. Doyle stands his ground and stops in front of Samael who looks absolutely blood thirsty.. He can’t be tamed, he can’t be controlled, and just as Samael goes to charge past Dr. Doyle, 20 security guards hop over the barricade and tackle Samael down to the ground. The Ice Aces eventually exit towards the backstage area, as Samael is being held down by security.)
James Peters: WOW!! What did we just witness here?!
Rich Russillo: Well, Samael was already riled up to start this match, and eventually blood was shed. That blood only triggered Samael even more. He got the victory, but that wasn’t enough for him especially now that blood was drawn..
Persephone: Luckily Dr. Doyle and the security guards were there, because this could have gotten even uglier than it did.
Rich Russillo: You’ve got that right, Persephone. For now everyone is safe. Samael is being held down by numerous members of security, so there isn’t much to worry about now. We’ll have to tune in next week to see what will happen due to the events of tonight. This one was intense!!
(The screen shows Samael being helped up to his feet while being in constant restraint by the security guards. There’s blood all over his face, and even a blood trail that goes down the entire entrance ramp and leads all the way to the massive pool of blood in the center of the ring where this all started. The camera cuts away from it all quickly, and Voltage fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Ronan Malosi, prompting an encore of boos. Not like he cares, having finished his walk to Captain Charisma’s office. Ronan smirks at seeing the nameplate on the door, and goes to knock, but his attention is turnt to the sound of metal dropping to the floor off screen, presumably dropped by a stagehand.)
Ronan Malosi: Hey! Pick that up! …I’ll tell you, no respect around here.
(Shaking his head, Ronan turns attention back to Captain Charisma’s door, and proceeds to knock on it, but immediately opens it up anyway, not waiting for a cue to go in.)
Ronan Malosi: Just the man I wanted to see, Captain Cha-
(Ronan’s smile becomes that of a scowl, stopping in his tracks as the camera pans over to reveal Daryl Kinkade talking to Captain Charisma, who’s sat behind his desk. Both men turn attention to Ronan, and CC looks pretty pleased to him at this time.)
Ronan Malosi: Am I interrupting something?
Captain Charisma: No, actually, you came at the right time.
(Ronan walks over to Captain Charisma’s desk, keeping some distance between himself and Daryl after last week, remaining on edge.)
Ronan Malosi: Really? Because he’s here.
(Ronan eyes Daryl up and down with disgust.)
Captain Charisma: I know. I actually just gave Daryl some big news, and I think you’re gonna wanna be here for it.
Ronan Malosi: Is that so?
Captain Charisma: Yep, because after last week, it’s obvious neither you nor him plan to stop anytime soon. So, I’m gonna give you both a chance to settle things, and not by interfering in each other’s matches, by squaring off in the ring, one-on-one at Wicked Games. :mjgrin:
(Ronan’s head lowers a bit, he’s obviously not pleased with this decision. Meanwhile, Daryl’s all smiles, in his mind, relishing the fact he gets to destroy Ronan.)
Ronan Malosi: Captain, you’re making a mistake, man. When I sent you the formal complaint email-
Captain Charisma: Emails.
Ronan Malosi: Emails about what to do with Bethany, Sheridan, Charlie, and more specifically, this guy. I-I don’t know, I was thinking more so suspension, stripping them of the title, maybe even a firing, ya know, show em who’s boss. Not a match. Daryl… Daryl isn’t even worth my time, so I fail to see why you’re making me face him. I get it, I make stars, but I should be doing much more at Wicked Games.
Daryl Kinkade: You? After that performance you put in at Territorial Invasion, YOU should be doing much more at Wicked Games? Do you believe that, CC?
Captain Charisma: Sorry, Ronan, but no, not really.
(Ronan’s growing fed up with this whole ordeal, but Daryl jumps at the opportunity to taunt him, amused at it all, having gotten exactly what he wanted out of this.)
Daryl Kinkade: What’s the matter, Ronan? You brought it all on yourself. Last week, you should’ve taken your beating like a man, but instead, you opted to interfere in my business, RIGHT when I had Usagi Senshi beat. So, I’m gonna make you pay for that at Wicked Games when I get my hands on you.
(Ronan rolls his eyes at this comment from Daryl.)
Ronan Malosi: Blah, blah, blah, nobody cares. If you ask me, I’m the victim here. You had everything coming to you last week.
Daryl Kinkade: Oh yeah? How’s that?
Ronan Malosi: For starters, you jumped me with four other people last week, all jealous, unprofessional ingrates, might I add. To think, after I’m the sole reason we won at Territorial Invasion, that’s the thanks I get.
Daryl Kinkade: It’s crazy, after that beating we gave you last week, STILL nothing seeped through that thick skull of yours, and you became an even bigger delusional you know what.
Ronan Malosi: Delusional? :mjlol: No, delusional is thinking you can take me at Wicked Games.
Daryl Kinkade: Oh, you wanna put a test to that theory?
Ronan Malosi: Let’s put a test to it.
(The two get in each other’s faces, bickering back and forth, things might possibly come to blows, which Captain Charisma recognizes, causing him to intervene, preventing a fight from going down.)
Captain Charisma: Gentlemen.
(Daryl and Ronan stop their arguing, twisting their heads over to see what Captain Charisma has to say.)
Captain Charisma: Not in my office.
(Both competitors back from one another a bit, but the animosity still lingers in the air, the two staring each other down ahead of Wicked Games in a few weeks. But Daryl delivers a final message to Ronan, no amusement in his attitude, just complete seriousness.)
Daryl Kinkade: Whatever. At Wicked Games, Ronan, just know… I’m going to beat the hell out of you.
(Daryl gives an intense stare to Ronan, who gives one right back, before watching as Kinkade leaves the office. Malosi shakes his head.)
Ronan Malosi: Yeah, you’re lucky CC was here to save you…
(Ronan turns around, facing Captain Charisma, and adjusts his suit, it having got a bit wrinkled in the back and forth with Daryl. But after getting himself together, Ronan addresses CC, who’s already annoyed that he’s stuck around, attempting to do work on his laptop, not trying to listen to anymore of Ronan’s nonsense.)
Ronan Malosi: Ya know, if I was commissioner, I wouldn’t be going around rewarding people for bad behavior. Just saying.
(CC stops typing, and looks at Ronan.)
Captain Charisma: Yeah? Well, you’re not.
(A mischievous smirk forms on the face of Malosi, which Captain Charisma recognizes, building some worry, along with slight confusion in him.)
Ronan Malosi: Well, about that… :mjgrin: as it stands, my team won at Territorial Invasion, whether they wanna credit me or not, irrelevant. So, that means I get a favor from you, which I was looking to get last week, and I was hoping to get this week. But of course, I had some speed bumps along the way, so I couldn’t make time to stop by. Look, my point is: I want to run Voltage as my favor. What do you sa-
Captain Charisma: No. No. Not doing it. No.
Ronan Malosi: Hey, from one leader to another, here’s some valuable advice. Lead by example. You said that I can get “anything” with the favor, now when I asked for said favor, you’re trying to deny it?
(Captain Charisma looks to be regretting his choice of words right about now, but realizes Ronan is correct.)
Captain Charisma: Maybe I did say anything, but what sparked your sudden interest to be commissioner anyway?
Ronan Malosi: Well, I was thinking. If Ryan Wilson could practically do the job as general manager of Showdown, how hard could it be? And after I do it better, better than he ever could by the way, I’m gonna prove my greatness over him once and for all.
(Ronan chuckles to himself.)
Ronan Malosi: Genius, right?
Captain Charisma: Look, Ronan, this little idea you presented to me is definitely “intriguing” to say the least. But I’ll think about it, and get back to you, alright?
(Ronan nods, finding Captain Charisma’s response pretty fair.)
Ronan Malosi: Alright.
(Malosi goes to leave, but Captain Charisma stops him from doing so, calling his name, drawing him back over, leaving Ronan slightly annoyed at having to do so, wondering what else CC could possibly want.)
Captain Charisma: If you ask me, “from one leader to another,” you shouldn’t be concerned about proving some sort of point to Ryan Wilson. You have other things to be concerned about.
(Ronan turns around to leave, but returns on his own accord this time, carrying a smirk on his face, having more to say.)
Ronan Malosi: Oh, I just realized you were talking about Daryl. As in, Daryl Kinkade, my opponent for Wicked Games. I almost forgot until you reminded me.
(Ronan’s sarcastic tone switches to one of more serious.)
Ronan Malosi: It’s almost like he’s not competition at all. Daryl’s a lightweight in the body, and a lightweight in the mind. So, come Wicked Games, I’m going to beat him, outsmart him, most of all, instill respect into him, so the rest of the roster, aka my locker room, learns the most valuable lesson of all. Don’t mess with Ronan Malosi.
(Malosi’s happy mood returns, catching Captain Charisma off guard a bit.)
Ronan Malosi: But other than that, I’m prepared to be a better commissioner than anyone else could imagine, including you, Captain!
(Ronan slams his hand down on Captain Charisma’s open laptop in excitement, shutting it in the process.)
Ronan Malosi: You have a nice night!
(Ronan gives a smile to CC before strolling off, rubbing his hands together, thinking about the possibilities of him as commissioner, running the show. Someone who also does this is Captain Charisma, still not thrilled about the idea, but gives it some thought briefly before opening back up his computer, which Ronan shut, returning to his work as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Kylie Grace sitting down in the locker room, finishing up tying her shoe, which completed her ring gear, so she’s ready for her match, which’ll take place next. The crowd reacts positively to seeing her, but they’re reaction grows even louder once Kenn Kenn steps into frame, hands on his hips fully in gear. Kenn Kenn takes a moment to acknowledge the crowd praise, carrying a smile on his face, grateful for the adulation. But turns attention over to Kylie, placing his hand on her shoulder, which causes her to twist her head his way.)
Kenn Kenn: You ready?
Kylie Grace: …yeah, yeah, I’m ready.
(Kylie’s delivery didn’t seem too confident, or all that sure of itself, her mind possibly preoccupied by something, all which Kenn Kenn picks up himself, and inquires about, not wanting his partner, more importantly, friend out there not one-hundred percent.)
Kenn Kenn: Everything alright? You ain’t sounding ready, girl. :mjgrin:
Kylie Grace: No, it’s just- did you see what went down earlier?
Kenn Kenn: With who? Samael?
Kylie Grace: Yeah. I mean, last week, it was Theron. This week, it was Natasha.
(There’s clearly some feeling of guilt in Kylie about this all, which seems to be the main motivator behind her mood on this night.)
Kylie Grace: …ya know, this is all my fault. I feel as if it is anyway. I should’ve gone to see Michael. Instead… instead, I was selfish, and went to talk with Captain Charisma, trying to get MYSELF an opportunity at Wicked Games. Looking back on it… I don’t know…
Kenn Kenn: Girl, you gotta stop beating yourself up. There’s nothing wrong with looking out for number one every now and then. Besides, Samael isn’t your priority. What do you think he has that creepy doctor for?
Kylie Grace: Yeah, I know that. But maybe me “looking out for number one” was ill timed, and I should’ve chosen a better one. I should’ve been there for Michael, and to tell you the truth: I’m ashamed of myself for not doing so.
(Kylie somberly stands up, and goes to grab her jacket, which is hung up in her locker. But again, Kenn Kenn places his hand on her shoulder, which causes Kylie to turn around, and face him.)
Kenn Kenn: I can’t stress this enough. Don’t be yourself up over this whole situation. It’s not your fault. But about Michael…
(Kenn Kenn’s mood becomes serious, feeling genuine concern for his friend.)
Kenn Kenn: I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. Don’t you think getting involved with him is a bit… I don’t know, dangerous?
Kylie Grace: He’s-
Kenn Kenn: Not to cut you off, Kylie, but at the end of the day, he’s still Samael. You, and I both know the things he’s capable of. You just got a reminder of that tonight. Now, you’re just about a grown woman, I’m not telling you what to do. But as your friend, I advise treading those waters lightly. I don’t wanna see you end up like his other victims.
Kylie Grace: I get you have your cautions about Michael, and with good reason, I’ll admit. But despite what you think of him, we’ve interacted, and I’ve really come to know him. I know he’s not a bad person, and I know it’s not his fault he has the issues he does. He’s not always in control of his actions. Earlier tonight, Samael did that. Not Michael. Last week, Samael did that. Not Michael. He’s just been dealt somewhat of a bad hand in life.
(Kenn Kenn’s still skeptical of this all, and with good reason, not quite buying what Kylie is trying to sell him on. But regardless, he puts that aside, showing support for his friend, and her actions.)
Kenn Kenn: You make an interesting case to say the least, but it’s clear you feel strongly on this matter. And as I said, I’m not here to be anybody’s parent, you’re grown. Just… promise me, you’ll be careful around Samael, Michael, whatever you want to call him. Just promise me you’ll be careful, so I have nothing to worry about.
(Kylie cracks a smile, finding comfort in Kenn Kenn’s friendship, and protectiveness of her, keeping Grace’s best interests in mind.)
Kylie Grace: Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.
Kenn Kenn: Thank you.
Kylie Grace: So much for not acting like a parent, huh? :mjgrin:
(Kenn Kenn playfully rolls his eyes at Kylie’s comment.)
Kenn Kenn: You got me. Now, are you ready to go out there, or are you gonna spend thirty more minutes tying your shoes?
(Kylie scoffs, and unhooks her jacket, putting it on, her spirits back lifted, thanks to a small pep talk from Kenn Kenn.)
Kylie Grace: Funny, but let’s go win this thing.
(Kylie, and Kenn Kenn embrace one another with a hug, causing the audience to give a loud ovation for the strong bond between these two. But after the hug ends, both Kylie and Kenn Kenn take a deep breath, putting their game faces on as they walk off screen, exiting the locker room, and heading to gorilla position for their entrances. From there, the camera transitions to Bella Braxton in the ring, holding an EAW microphone in hand, carrying a smile on her face. The crowd is riled up, knowing the match is close to being underway.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘I’m Too Much’ by Saucy Santana ft. Kenn Kenn plays to a positive reaction from fans, as he steps onto the stage, blowing kisses to the fans in attendance. But the reaction grows even louder as ‘Unbreakable’ by Fireflight prompts Kylie to join Kenn Kenn on the stage, the two side by side en route to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! At a combined weight of 245 pounds…THE TEAM OF KYLIE GRACE AND KENN KENN!!
James Peters: Last week, Kenn Kenn walked out victorious over Ronan Malosi. Granted, the win has a slight Asterix behind it, given the involvement from Daryl Kinkade. But regardless, Kenn Kenn has momentum, which he can keep on building tonight.
Persephone: Not often you get square off with the Tag Team Champions.
Rich Russillo: Imagine if they walk out victorious. This could be huge. This could even put them in line for a future opportunity.
James Peters: This could even help Kylie rebuild momentum after last week.
(Lights go out, and as the strings to “Enemy” by Sevendust, crowd give a mixed reaction. Mostly leaning towards the positive side. A spotlight shines solely on Bethany Blue at the entranceway, turning her back as the fireworks go off, and the chorus to Prescription’s theme starts to play. Lights return, and as usual, Sheridan heads to the ring, focus the only emotion displayed from her, meanwhile, Bethany’s a little bit more arrogant in her route to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents! At a total combined weight of 260 lbs… THEY ARE THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…DR. BETHANY BLUE AND SHERIDAN MÜLLER…THE PRESCRIPTION!!!!
Persephone: The champs are here!
James Peters: And as you can see, both are ready for a fight.
Rich Russillo: Especially Sheridan, but when isn’t she to be honest?
James Peters: That’s a good question, but Kylie and Kenn Kenn certainly have their hands full. These two aren’t gonna go down easy.
Rich Russillo: I recommend they watch their backs too, who knows if Samael’s gonna find his way out here like he did last week?
(Kenn Kenn and Bethany Blue each other down from opposite corners, their partners on the apron, whispering words of encouragement, and possibly strategy.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Bell has rung, thing are officially underway. Kenn Kenn, and Bethany starting things off for their respective teams. Both competitors circle each other briefly before initiating a lock up. Kenn Kenn gets an early advantage, wringing the arm of Bethany Blue, transitioning into a hammerlock. Blue reverses out of it with a hammerlock of her own, transitioning herself, this time with a standing side headlock.
Rich Russillo: She starts inching Kenn Kenn over towards her corner, and extends the hand for a tag out to Sheri- oh, Kenn Kenn slips out of the headlock, shoving Bethany away as he backpedals slightly, creating separation.
James Peters: You never wanna be in the opposing team’s corner, that’s for certain.
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn and Bethany approach one another again, meeting in the center of the ring. Looks like we’re gonna see another lock u- no! Bethany faked Kenn Kenn out, slipping behind him for a rear waistlock. Kenn Kenn counters with a side headlock takedown, regaining control over this matchup thus far. Bethany utilizes a headscissors to escape, tightening her legs around the throat of Kenn Kenn.
James Peters: But he manages to kick out of it, and both competitors scramble back to their feet! They’re almost at a bit of a stalemate right now, both competitors possibly realizing this as they stare each other down. Afterward, they start intertwining hands, engaging in a test of strength from the looks of it. After a bit of jockeying for position, Kenn Kenn wrings the arm again-
Rich Russillo: BETHANY DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, DROPPING KENN KENN DOWN TO A KNEE! OOH! A big boot to the side of his head drops Kenn Kenn to all fours now.
Persephone: She leveled him! I hope Kenn Kenn is ok after that!
James Peters: Bethany stands him back up, and starts bringing Kenn Kenn over to her corner, holding the back of his neck with one hand. BUT KENN KENN SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE WITH A SCHOOL BOY, ROLLING BETHANY BLUE THROUGH TO HER FEET! Kenn Kenn thrusts his shoulder into the gut of Bethany, and drives her back into his corner, keeping use of his shoulder by holding her there.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Kylie tags Kenn Kenn on the back, and enters the fray. Kenn Kenn leans Bethany up against the ropes, and snapmares her down to a seated position as Kylie runs off the opposite set. PENALTY KICK FROM GRACE LAYS BETHANY FLAT ON THE CANVAS, AND KENN KENN FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT, KNOCKING ALL THE AIR OUT OF THE DOCTOR’S LUNGS BEFORE ROLLING OUT OF THE RING!
James Peters: KYLIE CAPS THINGS OFF WITH A JUMPING SENTON, AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER ON BETHANY!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Bethany gets her shoulder up after the two, not gonna be bested that easily, something I’m sure even Kylie knew in her mind. Grace pulls Blue up by the head, and keeps hold of it with one hand while tagging back out to Kenn Kenn.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn joins Kylie in Irish whipping Bethany toward the ropes, and they both take her down with a double back elbow! Kylie rolls out of the ring, and Bethany doesn’t stay down for long, already beginning to stir, which Kenn Kenn keeps an eye on, watching as Bethany gets to both feet, but remains doubled over. …WHATS ON THE MEN-
James Peters: Kenn Kenn tried for the scissors kick, but Bethany avoided it, rolling out of the ring, giving herself time to recuperate, think of a game plan.
Rich Russillo: Sheridan steps off the apron, and links up with her partner, the two seemingly whispering strategy to one another. Kenn Kenn waits for Bethany inside the ring, ready to get things back underway. …Blue slides in, and tags out to Sheridan, giving her a crack at things.
**TAG!!**
Persephone: This is Sheridan’s first time entering the match.
James Peters: She’s the last person to, as both Kylie and Kenn Kenn have been in the match themselves, making frequent tags, displaying a smart strategy against the current tag champions, realizing what an opportunity this is.
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn rushes over to Sheridan, who didn’t straighten herself out just yet after entering through the middle rope. Sheridan wraps her arms around the body of Kenn Kenn for a front waistlock, and shuffles toward the center of the ring before shoving him toward the ropes! Kenn Kenn rebounds off, and runs right into a dropkick!
James Peters: Kenn Kenn gets to a knee, holding his mouth and nose area, but tags out to Kylie, who extended her hand out for it, wanting to size up with Müller herself.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Notice how Sheridan didn’t prevent the tag from happening, she doesn’t care if it’s Kylie, she doesn’t care if it’s Kenn Kenn, I think the woman is pretty confident in her chances, gesturing Kylie to bring it from the middle of the ring. Grace rushes in, scoring a kick to the midsection, catching Sheridan off guard, and Kylie maintains the advantage with knife edge chops to the chest! She isn’t the biggest opponent, but that girl can certainly hi-
James Peters: OOH! Sheridan shuts her down with a Muay Thai style knee to the abdomen, stunning Kylie briefly as Sheridan runs off the ropes in front of her! BASEMENT DROPKICK! BASEMENT DROPKICK BY KYLIE TO THE KNEE DERAILS SHERIDAN ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY, DROPPING HER TO ALL FOURS! LA MAGISTRAL CRADLE BY KYLIE, COULD SHE HAVE SHERIDAN?!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Sheridan kicks out, getting to all fours again, AND KYLIE STAMPS ON HER LOWER BACK WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! Müller favors said part of her back, wincing in agony.
Persephone: I’m shocked she isn’t split in half! 🤯
James Peters: Bethany looks like she’s gonna enter the ring, which diverts Kylie’s attention from Sheridan briefly, buying Müller enough time to capitalize with a running clothesline to the back of Grace’s head, causing her to stumble forward into The Prescription’s corner, hitting her head off the top turnbuckle. Sheridan pins her up in said corner for a KNIFE EDGE CHOP, ECHOING THROUGHOUT SENEGAL!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bethany’s back in, and The Prescription hooks Kylie up for a DOUBLE SUPLEX! Blue makes the cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kylie kicks out, sitting up in the process. But Bethany stays on her opponent with a rear chinlock. This isn’t Prescription the match, but what it will do is rear Kylie down.
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn’s trying to rally his partner on from the apron, along with the EAW audience. Grace powers back to her feet, and begins driving her elbow back into the abdominal area of Bethany Blue, loosening her grip with each one that connects. The Doctor wisely adjusts her strategy, using cravate knee strikes now to daze Kylie Grace, and put a halt to any momentum she tried to build.
James Peters: Kylie’s on wobbly legs, and Bethany Irish whips her to the ropes. Blue ducks down, perhaps signaling a back body drop, BUT WE DONT FIND OUT AN ANSWER TO THAT AS KYLIE REVERSES WITH A RUNNING TORNADO DDT! Both competitors are sprawled on the canvas, exhaustion starting to kick in.
Rich Russillo: Kylie stirs first, beginning her crawl over to Kenn Kenn in the corner. He has his hand out, practically itching for a tag. Bethany rolls over to her belly, grabbing the ankle of Kylie, but can’t get a good hold of it as Grace pops herself up from a prone position to the air!
**TAG!!*
Persephone: Kylie made the tag!
James Peters: Bethany gets back to her feet, and Kenn Kenn springs off the top rope, into the ring for a crossbody! Both competitors rush to their feet afterward, and Kenn Kenn takes Bethany down with a clothesline. Bethany scrambles back to her feet, and gets taken down with another! But again, she’s back up, and Kenn Kenn bounces her off the ropes for an Irish whip! Wait! Bethany reversed last second, sending Kenn Kenn off the ropes instead!
Rich Russillo: But Kenn Kenn comes back with a WHEELBARROW BULLDOG! Kenn Kenn runs over, and knocks Sheridan off the apron with a single leg dropkick! Kenn Kenn picks himself up in the corner, and that’s when Bethany attempts to strike, charging in! BUT EATS A BOOT FOR HER TROUBLES! Kenn Kenn ascends to the second rope, and balances himself, but Bethany recovers quicker than he expected, rushing toward Kenn Kenn to knock him off!
James Peters: Kenn Kenn leaps over Bethany Blue, landing on his feet! She swings around with a right hand attempt, but he ducks underneath it, LANDING A SCORPION KICK IN THE PROCESS! Bethany spins out to all fours, rolling out of the ring afterward. Kenn Kenn’s got a dangerous look in his eye, lining up Bethany on the outside before running off the ropes!
Rich Russillo: SHERIDAN! SHERIDAN TRIPPED KENN KENN UP, CAUSING HIM TO FACE PLANT ON THE CANVAS!
Persephone: Kenn Kenn gets back to a vertical base, holding his nose, which I hope isn’t busted open!
James Peters: Bethany slides back in the ring, and takes advantage with TJD! EVER THE OPPORTUNIST, BETHANY TOOK ADVANTAGE BEFORE KENN KENN COULD COMPLETELY GET HIS BEARINGS TOGETHER, STILL SLIGHTLY STUNNED FROM BEING TRIPPED!
Rich Russillo: You can’t say that wasn’t slightly earned. He did knock Sheridan off the apron with that dropkick.
James Peters: Bethany hooks the leg for a deep cover on Kenn Kenn, who might be out!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
James Peters: NO! KENN KENN GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Bethany crawls over to Sheridan on the apron, making a tag.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Sheridan enters the ring, and stomps down on the stomach of Kenn Kenn, jolting him up to a seated position, and she knocks him right back flat to the canvas with a big boot to the skull! Müller lifts Kenn Kenn up, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle, a corner not belonging to either team.
James Peters: Sheridan jacks the jaw of Kenn Kenn with repeated European uppercuts, ending the barrage off with the most impactful of them all. Kenn Kenn staggers out of the corner before dropping to all fours. Sheridan brings him up to a vertical base in a front facelock, and she backs herself up against The Prescription’s corner.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bethany tags Sheridan on the shoulder, and double teams Kenn Kenn with a spike DDT! He’s laid out in the center of the ring after that. Cover is made!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
James Peters: Kenn Kenn isn’t done just yet, and Bethany tags out to Sheridan once more. From there, Blue holds a seated Kenn Kenn by the head, keeping him in place for Sheridan to deliver a kick to the chest! Kenn Kenn moves to all fours, reaching out to Kylie Grace on the apron. But Sheridan curbs his enthusiasm with a penalty kick to the rib cage!
Persephone: I heard the impact!
Rich Russillo: There was some real good umph off that strike from Sheridan, who starts to wear down Kenn Kenn with an arm lock, pressing her exposed knee on the side of his face.
James Peters: Kenn Kenn is the one being rallied now, both the fans and Kylie on his side here. Is he gonna be able to get that second wind?
Rich Russillo: Looks like it as Kenn Kenn pushes that knee off his face with the free hand before powering back to his feet.
James Peters: Sheridan still has a hold of that arm, but Kenn Kenn severs ties with a JAWBREAKER! Müller is groggy, and Kenn Kenn goes to walk past her in his pursuit of a tag. BUT THAT TURNS OUT TO BE A BIG MISTAKE AS SHERIDAN EXPLODES WITH A KNEE STRIKE! We talked about Sheridan being groggy, well, Kenn Kenn’s eyes look the definition of glossy following that knee strike.
Rich Russillo: With Kenn Kenn down, Sheridan tags out to Bethany.
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Müller drags Kenn Kenn in position for Bethany, who leaps off the middle rope with a knee drop to the chest area! Bethany hooks the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kickout at two! Kenn Kenn gets to a knee, but Bethany is to her feet first, looking to maintain control, standing Kenn Kenn up. Right Hand from Bethany- gets blocked, and Kenn Kenn fires with a right hand of his own! Followed up by another! Irish whip to the rop- Bethany reverses, sending Kenn Kenn instead.
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn rebounds off the ropes, and Bethany Blue slips behind him for a sleeper hold! But look at Kenn Kenn, who keeps inching closer and closer to Kylie Grace, stretching his hand out for the tag! Bethany tightens her hold on Kenn Kenn, halting him.
James Peters: BUT KENN KENN COUNTERS OUT WITH A BACK SUPLEX! Blue writhes in pain on the canvas, but starts crawling her way to Sheridan, similar to how Kenn Kenn is crawling to Kylie.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bethany makes the tag! Kenn Kenn uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet. SHERIDAN CHARGES! KENN KENN SIDESTEPS, CAUSING MÜLLER TO TUMBLE OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! Kenn Kenn leaps for the tag, similar to how Kylie did earlier!
James Peters: BUT ITS UNSUCCESSFUL! SHERIDAN RECOVERED, AND YANKED KYLIE OFF THE APRON, CAUSING HER TO HIT FACE FIRST ON IT! From there, she slides back into the ring, and Kenn Kenn gets to his feet, leveling Müller with forearm strikes to the face! Sheridan is stunned, and Kenn Kenn runs off the ropes in front of her!
Persephone: Before he could rebound off, Sheridan caught him with a big boot! Kenn Kenn is leaned up against the ropes, almost completely out of it, and Sheridan brings him to the center of the ring for a PUMPHANDLE URANAGE! :damn:
James Peters: Cover is made, hooking the leg deep!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: KYLIE SLIDES IN, BREAKING THINGS UP WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO THE GUT OF SHERIDAN! Grace exits out on the apron, and after taking some brief time to recover, Sheridan pins Kenn Kenn in The Prescription’s corner. Right Hand from Sheridan- gets denied! Kenn Kenn block, and scores a right hand of his own! He fights out of the corner with more right hands to the face of Müller, and goes for a wild swing to end it off!
Rich Russillo: But Sheridan ducked underneath it, and hooks him up for a German suplex! KENN KENN BACKFLIPS OUT OF IT, AND SPINS AROUND, DECKING BETHANY OFF THE APRON! Müller is back to her feet, and KENN KENN RUNS RIGHT INTO A SIDE SLAM!
James Peters: Sheridan drags Kenn Kenn back into her corner, and tags out to an annoyed Bethany Blue, who’s back up on the apron after being knocked off.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bethany brings Kenn Kenn back to his feet, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle in another corner. Kenn Kenn gets lifted up there now, and Bethany climbs to the middle rope for a superplex! But Kenn Kenn blocks it from happening, hanging on tight to the top rope!
James Peters: AND BETHANY GETS GOURDBUSTERED TO THE CANVAS! Bethany favors her midsection, but rolls over to her corner while Kenn Kenn recovers on the top turnbuckle.
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Sheridan re-enters the match, and charges at Kenn Kenn, who halt’s her momentum with a boot to the face. Kenn Kenn balances himself on the middle rope, AND DIVES OFF WITH A BLOCKBUSTER!
Persephone: :lupe:
James Peters: Kenn Kenn stands himself up in the middle of the ring, slightly groggy. Sheridan is back up herself, grabbing Kenn Kenn from behind, and Irish whipping him towards the ropes! KENN KENN SLIDES BETWEEN THE OPENED LEGS OF SHERIDAN, AND TAGS OUT TO KYLIE AFTERWARD!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: KYLIE COMES IN A HOUSE OF FIRE, BOTH HER AND SHERIDAN RUN AT ONE ANOTHER! GRACE BACKS MÜLLER INTO THE CORNER WITH FOREARM STRIKES! SHERIDAN PUSHES KYLIE, AND SHE COMES BACK WITH A STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE, USING THE BOTTOM ROPE FOR ASSISTANCE!
James Peters: Bethany goes to enter through the middle rope, BUT EATS A SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FOR HER TROUBLES BY KYLIE, KNOCKING BLUE OUT OF THE RING! Kylie sets her focus back on Müller, but Sheridan battles back with a boot to the gut! Kylie’s doubled over, and Sheridan looks to capitalize off her stunned opponent, leaning her up against the ropes for an Irish whip!
Rich Russillo: Cloth- Kylie ducks underneath, rebounding off the ropes again! Back el- no! Again, Kylie ducks underneath! AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A CALF KICK! Sheridan is back up, but quickly taken down with another calf kick! Müller is again back up, and tries to clothesline Kylie down, but Grace reverses with an arm trap Neckbreaker! Hook of the leg!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kickout! Both competitors are back to their feet, and Kylie eats a kick to the midsection by Sheridan! Irish whi- GRACE WRINGS THE ARM OF SHERIDAN FOR A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! Cover is made!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Persephone: Kickout!
Rich Russillo: Kylie starts her ascension to the top rope, and stalks Müller, who slowly gets to her feet! Bethany grabs the ankle of Kylie from the apron, but gets kicked off for her troubles! Grace sets her attention back on Sheridan, and dives off the top rope with a HURRICANRANA!
James Peters: NO! SHERIDAN CAUGHT KYLIE IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH UMPH BEFORE COLLAPSING TO THE CANVAS!
Rich Russillo: Both competitors are down, and begin crawling to their respective corners for the tag!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Tag! Both Kenn Kenn and Bethany Blue are legal! Bethany charges at Kenn Kenn on the apron, running right into a high roundhouse kick! Blue spins around, and staggers her way over to the ropes! Kenn Kenn enters the ring, and clotheslines her over! Bethany uses the barricade to pick herself up, and Sheridan stumbles over to regroup.
Rich Russillo: Kylie slides in the ring, both her and Kenn Kenn running off the ropes for a double suicide dive! Everyone is wiped out on the outside! Kenn Kenn, and Bethany start to stir, using the apron for assistance in getting back to their feet, then rolling back into the ring!
James Peters: Bethany tries for TJD, but Kenn Kenn catches the boot, spinning her around for a kick to the gut! AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR WHATS ON THE MENU! SCISSORS KICK TAKES BETHANY DOWN!
Rich Russillo: But Kenn isn’t going for the cover just yet, lining Bethany up, stalking as she gets to her feet. Bethany is pulled into an inverted front facelock. However, she realizes this is the set up for Swallow It, a move that could possibly finish the match, and spins around in the clutches of Kenn Kenn, making it a front facelock now. BUT KENN KENN JUST SPIKES HER WITH A DDT!
James Peters: Kenn Kenn hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHH-
James Peters: MÜLLER BREAKS THINGS UP WITH A STOMP TO THE SIDE OF KENN KENN’S HEAD! KYLIE SLIDES IN THE RING, LOOKING TO SEND OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT SHERIDAN COUNTERS LAST MINUTE, SENDING KYLIE INSTEAD! Grace is neutralized for the time being, but with her back turned, Kenn Kenn takes advantage, sending Sheridan out through the middle too with a dropkick to the back!
Rich Russillo: O’CONNOR ROLL ON KENN KENN BY BETHANY BLUE!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: KENN KENN ROLLS THROUGH FOR ONE OF HIS OWN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: KICKOUT! Kenn Kenn is launched to all fours, and Bethany rushes to her feet, PLANTING KENN KENN WITH CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!
Rich Russillo: Kenn Kenn is out. Bethany starts putting on that nitrile glove, and locks him in the SAY AHHH! SECOND DOSE VARIATION! THAT MANDIBLE CLAW RINGS OF SATURN! KENN KENN LOOKS TO BE FADING!
James Peters: BETHANY WRENCHES ON THE HOLD EVEN MORE, FORCING KENN KENN TO TAP OUT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNERS…THE PRESCRIPTION!!
(“Enemy” by Sevendust blares throughout the arena, receiving a mixed reaction from fans, who were hoping to see Kylie and Kenn Kenn walk out of this one victorious. Sheridan slides in the ring, their tag titles in hand, and hands Bethany her half after she relinquishes the hold on Kenn Kenn.)
James Peters: You can’t be surprised with the outcome here, there’s a reason Prescription are the tag team champs, and we’re chosen to be on Team Voltage at Territorial Invasion.
Rich Russillo: They’re a top team, and on their own, top competitors for the Voltage brand.
Persephone: :wow:
James Peters: Which is why you gotta give credit to Kylie and Kenn Kenn, taking them to their limits almost.
Rich Russillo: It was a fun match to witness, something I’m sure these fans can’t disagree with, regardless the outcome.
(Bethany and Sheridan exit the ring as Kylie slides in to check on Kenn Kenn, who’s writhing in pain as the camera fades elsewhere.)

(“Self Help Tape” by Moses Sumney hits on the speakers as Voltage returns and people jump out of their seats and cheer as loud as they can as they hear the theme song of the Commissioner of Voltage. Captain Charisma walks out with a big grin on his face taking the cheers in from the crowd before he starts walking down the ramp with a lot of excitement shown on his face as he is ready to make an announcement.)
Rich Russillo: And here we have the Commissioner of Voltage presenting himself once again, it is always impressive to hear how loud the cheers are when he comes out.
James Peters: He deserves them after all, he is a very loved person by the EAW Universe and he has done all he could to make sure Voltage was one of the greatest brands in this company. You can see the excitement on his face as he seems ready to give us an announcement.
(He walks down the ramp high fiving and greeting a few fans before he quickly gets up into the ring and enters it. He stands directly in the center of the ring as his music starts dying down, he waves to a few people before he finally raises up his microphone to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen…welcome to Sunday Night Voltage!
(The crowd cheers wildly in response as Captain Charisma looks around with a smile on his face.)
Captain Charisma: Well, by this point, there is honestly no need to welcome you this late, the show is almost finished and the main event is just up next but I still want to greet every last one of you who decided to spend their night going to our show. Now, I have a special announcement I need to make but before any of that I have to talk about our first Voltage exclusive marquee event coming up and that is none other than Wicked Games. There have been some fantastic matches announced for the event that I am sure that they are going to deliver, so let me run down all of the confirmed matches for you!
Captain Charisma: We have ARIA versus Usagi Senshi versus Ayu Megumi, an Ice Aces Triple Threat for a chance to qualify for the Specialists Chamber. This is coming off a…very few interesting weeks on Voltage to say the least, I was there out at ringside while it happened but let me remind you all quickly. This is happening after what occurred at Territorial Invasion, where ARIA revealed the shocking truth that Eden Sinclair and Drake King had a working relationship to get rid of TLA and fire him from his job, so then ARIA laid down for TLA and TLA was able to get regain his job back, from my standpoint, I am very happy that TLA was able to get his job back after all of the chaos that happened. I also feel very disappointed from who caused it in the first place. I had my talk with Eden and yes, she indeed revealed this match last week to everyone thinking it was her idea, and I let it pass because of two reasons. One, to get a faster way to be able to get the Voltage candidates for the Specialists Chamber, and as a little spoiler, my announcement has to do with that as well. And two, because it is going to be an amazing match from all three competitors, they have said their piece and I understand their worries, but they have also said that the bond of the Ice Aces is like no other, so we will still have the Ice Aces when Wicked Games starts and ends and we will also have an incredible match.
Captain Charisma: We also have another confirmed match after tonight, where Daryl Kinkade will go up against Ronan Malosi. This is happening off the back of Brand Warfare, where Team Voltage was able to succeed in getting the victory, everyone was able to pull their weight and work as a team to achieve it…well…the majority of people believe that Ronan didn’t at all. As for what I think- Actually, nevermind, I better keep my mouth shut, you can guess what I actually think :mjgrin:. Everyone from Team Voltage let Ronan have it last week and as a result, Ronan was left angry. Ronan decided to focus that revenge on Daryl, where he interfered in his match and cost him the win against Usagi Senshi, and Daryl wanting to get back at Ronan, he interfered in his match against Kenn Kenn and ended up doing the same to Ronan. I know, it’s alot. So after all that, I decided to make a match between the two of them at Wicked Games. I’m sure no one will want to miss Daryl taking on Ronan.
Captain Charisma: And then finally, we have our last confirmed match, which is probably one of the biggest ones that can be made this Season. After coming off a succesful win in Anarchy in the Arena, the EAW Champion Minerva got into the ring last week and demanded another open challenge for her championship, telling whoever to step up and then the man who came out to challenge her…was the EAW Hardcore Champion, Charlie Marr. He came off a successful victory as the Captain of Team Voltage in Brand Warfare, deciding to use his reward from winning the match to challenge Minerva for the EAW Championship. It is a Champion versus Champion here, but due to the rules Disney put to the Hardcore Championship, it can’t be defended at marquee events so it won’t be on the line. After all of the years these two had in this company, this is the first time they will ever face in a singles match. The two of them are two incredibly talented athletes. The best of the best because of the titles they hold. You could even say it is an immovable object going up against an unstoppable force. Either way, I am completely sure it is going to be a match for the ages.
(A grin crosses Captain Charisma’s face.)
Captain Charisma: Alright, let me stop building up the suspense and just get to the actual announcement. We are far from finished from announcing the matches at Wicked Games, because there is still more to be announced, and as you could already tell, that is why I am out here. One incredible positive from EAW is it’s women’s division. It is made up of incredible and hard working women, and this season has been nothing short of impressive for them. Voltage has seen a lot of new Elitists step up to take their shot at new horizons, which is exactly why I want to give them an opportunity. I have heard how much people want an opportunity to prove themselves at a high level, and I think that there is no better way to do that than by earning an opportunity to compete in a championship match, which is exactly why there will be a second Specialists Chamber qualifier at Wicked Games. This match will feature Kylie Grace, Halsey Neel, and Haruka Kashimashi.
Captain Charisma: And honestly, you can’t ignore how talented each of these women are. They are hungry for opportunities and this is the match to show how much they actually want them. Kylie Grace arrived here in EAW being very nervous about debuting, lacking confidence in herself and what she could actually accomplish here, to the point of only being able to cry. She decided she couldn’t live that way anymore and she began to work harder on herself, to become stronger and to be able to stand there and believe in herself. She hasn’t been as lucky when it comes to matches but you can’t deny how much progress she has made to become a better version of Kylie Grace. We also have Halsey Neel, a woman who hasn’t been shy from wanting to make herself known here in EAW. She’s been brutal and she’s not afraid of hurting anyone who stands in her way. I respect the competitor she is and how hard she’s had to work to get here. She’s rage personified and this is the perfect match for her to let all that out. Finally we have Haruka Kashimashi. She hasn’t had the best of luck this season. She hasn’t been able to prove herself like the other women here but despite all the losses, she has persevered. She has continued to fight, no matter what, and continues to stand up on her own two feet. That is why with this opportunity, this might be just the lucky break that she needs. All three of these women have potential, and with an opportunity like this there is no doubt that we will be seeing the best that they have to offer.
Captain Charisma: Wicked Games is shaping up to be a must-see event! Opportunities will be given. Problems will be settled. It’s going to be exciting! I hope you all have a great rest of your night and enjoy our main event!
(“Self Help Tape” by Moses Sumney hits on the speakers once more and the crowd cheers for Captain Charisma one last time before he starts leaving the ring.)
Persephone: …So…the announcement was just that? That is…incredible to hear! It is not like we have seen these three women fight between each other several times since the start of the season but they are such good wrestlers that I would LOVE to see them wrestle again.
James Peters: I would love to see as well! What these women can deliver in that ring to get this opportunity, this might be just the one that they need to rise up to the next level.
Rich Russillo: Either way, I am sure we are going to see an incredible display of talent from the three women at Wicked Games!
(Captain Charisma walks up the ramp, turning one last time to wave goodbye to the crowd. The camera fades backstage following the announcement from Captain Charisma, and Sofia Clarke can be seen holding a microphone in her hand with a smile on her face.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, moments ago we just heard a huge announcement from Captain Charisma, who revealed that there’ll be a second Specialists Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match at Wicked Games. Right now I’d like to take the time to speak with one of the women announced for that match, so at this time please welcome Halsey Neel!
(The camera pans over towards Halsey Neel, and the fans in the arena quickly begin to boo for Halsey, clearly not happy to see the Elitist who has quickly gained a reputation as a threat on Voltage.)
Sofia Clarke: Halsey, at Wicked Games you’ll be getting a fantastic opportunity as you’ll be facing Kylie Grace and Haruka Kashimashi, two Elitists you’re no stranger to, for a chance to advance towards the Specialists Chamber at Road to Redemption. How does it feel being this close to what could potentially be your first Championship victory should things go your way?
Halsey Neel: To cut things short, things will be different this time. Like you said this isn’t the first time I’ve been in the ring with Kylie Grace or Haruka Kashimashi, but what you didn’t mention is that this isn’t the first time where I’ve had a potential Specialists Championship opportunity in my hands. In fact that match included the two women who I’ll be facing at Wicked Games, and in the end none of us were able to leave that match with the victory. Instead Ayu Megumi did, and I had to sit on the sidelines and watch as Ayu Megumi wasted such a major opportunity, failing to defeat Serenity Valdez. I said it to Haruka when I went up against her one-on-one, it pissed me off entering these matches and coming up short, whether it be because of the numbers involved with multi-person matches or because of my own mistakes. I’m better than that, I know I am, and this opportunity at Wicked Games might just be my best opportunity at not just advancing my career and coming closer to my first Championship victory, but demonstrating just how far I’ve grown past losses that hadn’t occurred that long ago.
Halsey Neel: I defeated Haruka in the last match I had against her, and the last match that I had here on Voltage. Kylie on the other hand, did not suffer the same fate. I could repeat myself and go over what happened that night, but I’m sure you’re already aware of how our match ended. Regardless of the circumstances involved, I did not win. I failed to put Kylie down, and before anything else I want Kylie to understand that what happens at Wicked Games will be completely different than what happened on Voltage. I thought that I’d be smart enough to avoid making mistakes like that, but sometimes you get too caught up in the moment to realize the position that you’re in. Sometimes arrogance gets the better of you before you could even realize it, and I’m not the type of competitor that’d easily allow myself to make the same mistake twice, especially not against the same opponent. My individual matches against those two were very recent, but by Wicked Games they may very well be seeing an even better Halsey Neel.
Sofia Clarke: And Halsey, should you win at Wicked Games, do you have any thoughts on the Specialists Championship Chamber?
(After hearing this question, a smirk appears on Halsey’s face.)
Halsey Neel: It’s too early to tell exactly who’ll end up in the Specialists Chamber with me, but I just hope that those women bring their very best. If I’m going to become the Specialists Champion I don’t need any excuses after the fact, especially in a match like that. That kind of environment is something I haven’t dealt with yet in EAW, and I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than the idea of dismantling five opponents at their very best, with nothing but that Elimination Chamber surrounding us. Whether it’s Serenity Valdez, Milli Banks, or even somebody else entering that Chamber as the Champion, they’ll be leaving the Road to Redemption empty handed, and they’d be lucky to leave on their own two feet. Now, is that all?
Sofia Clarke: Yes. Thank you for your time, and good luck at Wicked Games against Kylie Grace and Haruka Kashimashi!
(Halsey Neel begins to walk away, leaving Sofia Clarke as she turns back towards the camera. From there, Voltage fades away from the backstage area.)
(Commercial break for Cirkul featuring Ronan Malosi. Make drinking water fun, healthy, and delicious with one of the many different flavor discs that come with your Cirkul water bottle!)
(Voltage fades to ringside for the final time tonight, as 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!!!!
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida hits, and the crowd explodes with cheers as ARIA, one of the three Ice Aces begins to make her way out to the stage. ARIA looks extremely focused tonight, and while she is always focused and ready for her matches, her words this week have made it clear why this match is different from the one she’d normally have. ARIA makes her way towards the ring not wasting anymore time, wanting to get the match started so she can give Drake what he deserves for all that he’s done.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Chandler, Arizona…. Weighing in at 110 pounds… AAARRRRIIIIAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
James Peters: I think we all figured this match would happen after ARIA revealed the truth behind TLA’s firing at Territorial Invasion! Exposing the plan between Eden and Drake and then giving TLA his job back was never going to sit well with them, and now ARIA has the chance to finish things against Drake once and for all!
Rich Russillo: She can definitely pick up a huge win tonight, though I wouldn’t say things will be finished after this. Not only is ARIA in a situation of her own thanks to Eden Sinclair, but Drake has also been dealing with TLA! This match IS a chance however to settle the differences between these two!
(As ARIA waits in the ring, ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer hits. The cheers all shift into boos as Drake King walks out, and Drake doesn’t look too happy either as he and ARIA stare directly at one another. Drake slowly walks down the ramp and towards the ring, and despite the slow pace he also looks prepared for this match, neither Elitist wanting the other to leave Voltage with the victory tonight. The crowd is clearly behind ARIA tonight, but Drake doesn’t seem to care at all, as he only pays attention to the ring and his opponent as he walks down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent…. From the Dead Sea, Israel…Weighing in at 220 pounds…. DRRRAAAAKEEE THE REDEEEEEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Drake King is out here, and I’ll say this. While I think we all want to see ARIA pick up the victory, it’s very rare that this man is actually pinned in singles matches. I believe the last time was back at King of Elite against Myles in an EAW World Championship match, and we saw the kind of hell those two put each other through.
Persephone: Yeah. Great competitor, but ARIA is also great! Myles too. And TLA. Everyone is amazing around here :wow:.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: HERE WE GO! The main event is underway, and while ARIA in most cases would start a match off with a handshake, I think it’s pretty obvious that we won’t be seeing that tonight with all that’s happened as of late! Both ARIA and Drake King circle the ring, waiting for their opponent to make the first move to really get things going! At Territorial Invasion ARIA was the one who exposed the plan between Drake and Eden Sinclair and ultimately allowed TLA to regain his job, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this match gets a bit ugly!
Rich Russillo: ARIA RUNS AT DRAKE WITH AN ATTEMPT TO HIT J4A, BUT DRAKE AVOIDS IT AS ARIA BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! DRAKE GRABS ARIA OFF THE REBOUND AND ATTEMPTS “OVERHAUL”, BUT ARIA SLIPS BEHIND HIM AND NOW IT’S HER PUSHING DRAKE INTO THE ROPES, NOT GIVING DRAKE MUCH OF A CHANCE TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM AS SHE IMMEDIATELY RUNS IN FOR A DROPKICK- WHICH DRAKE IS ABLE TO COUNTER BY PUSHING THE LEGS AWAY JUST BEFORE THE BOOTS COULD HIT HIM IN THE FACE! DRAKE KING NOW WITH A SUPERKICK AS ARIA GETS TO A KNEE!
Persephone: ARIA DUCKED IT! ARIA AVOIDED THE SUPERKICK AND NOW SHE ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND HITTING DRAKE WITH A STEP UP ENZUIGIRI THAT CAUSES HIM TO STUMBLE INTO THE CORNER! The crowd cheers as that was the first move to actually connect in the match, AND NOW ARIA RUNS INTO THE CORNER TO TRY AND DEAL EVEN MORE DAMAGE- BUT DRAKE LIFTS ARIA OVER HIM, CAUSING HER TO LAND UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Drake now turns to ARIA, AND SHE TRIES TO LAND A BOOT TO THE FACE, BUT DRAKE CATCHES HER BEFORE HITTING A RIGHT HAND!
James Peters: Drake King starts making his way up top, and seeing as he’s setting up a front facelock I don’t think it’d be a stretch to say that he may be looking for that superplex and falcon arrow combination, but isn’t it a bit early for that?? Even if it doesn’t get the job done a move like that would definitely swing this match right into Drake’s favor, which is exactly why ARIA needs to somehow find a way to get out of this one if she really wants to pick up the victory tonight!
Rich Russillo: Either ARIA heard you loud and clear or she was thinking the same thing, because she just pulled herself out of Drake’s grasp before landing a forearm shot to the face! Drake didn’t drop off the turnbuckle just yet, SO ARIA MANAGES TO KICK DRAKE IN THE MIDSECTION, PUSHING HIM BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT AS ARIA GETS INTO POSITION TO DIVE! Drake King quickly pushes himself back to his feet, but that hasn’t made ARIA hesitate even a bit, AS SHE FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DIVES AT DRAKE KING WITH A HUGE CROSSBODY!!!
Persephone: WAIT A SECOND, DRAKE KING JUST CAUGHT ARIA!!! Usually even with a one hundred pound size difference it’s possible to take opponents out with crossbodies like that, so Drake must have known she’d go for a move like that and braced himself for it! Either that or it was a really good guess, either way Drake is able to barely lift ARIA up from his shoulders into a suplex position, ALLOWING HIM TO DROP HER WITH A FALCON ARROW!!! Drake goes for the first cover in the match, and I deefffinitely hope that it’s not the last!
ONE!
TWO-
Persephone: ARIA kicked out! Yay. 🙂
James Peters: That was only just under a two count, but that just goes to show how much these two have done before even making a pinfall. Drake now has a little bit of time to think of a new strategy as well as catch his breath as ARIA uses the ropes to pull herself up. ARIA finally gets back on her feet after that falcon arrow, but Drake lands a kick to the midsection which causes her to accidentally let go of the ropes! This allows Drake to go for an irish whip, and Drake waits for the rebound but ARIA is smart enough to grab onto the pair of ropes she was just sent into, stopping her from bouncing off!
Rich Russillo: Drake now running in, AND ARIA PULLS DOWN THE ROPES- BUT DRAKE STOPS HIMSELF IN HIS TRACKS SO HE WOULDN’T BE SENT OVER THE TOP ROPE!! The experience factor coming into play as ARIA gets back up, AND DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A DISCUS ELBOW BEFORE GRABBING ARIA’S ARM FROM BEHIND, AND NOW THERE’S A RIPCORD KNEE- NO! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY ARIA, STOPPING THE KNEE STRIKE FROM CONNECTING! DRAKE TRIES TO RESPOND TO THIS WITH A BICYCLE KICK, BUT ARIA AVOIDS THIS AS DRAKE’S LEG GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE, GIVING ARIA THE CHANCE SHE NEEDED TO SEND DRAKE OVER THE ROPES AND OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: Drake grabbed onto the ropes before he could fall out to ringside though! Drake is able to pull himself back onto the ring apron, BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS TO HIS FEET, ARIA PULLS HERSELF UP OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT ONTO THE RING APRON, CAUSING BOTH OF THEM TO FALL OUT TO RINGSIDE!!! Wow that looked bad, we might need to stop this 😅! Just for their well being of course, no other reason!
James Peters: ARIA uses the ring apron to pull herself back up, and that kind of move is exactly why she’s seen as a rising star around here! ARIA is extremely talented and she’s shown this against so many different kinds of competitors! ARIA now pulling Drake up before rolling him into the ring, and it looks like now we’ll see what else she has to offer as she looks to pick up this victory! ARIA now getting onto the ring apron, AND INSTEAD OF SIMPLY GETTING BACK INTO THE RING SHE DIVES RIGHT ON TOP OF DRAKE’S MIDSECTION WITH A SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, AND SHE DOESN’T FINISH THERE!
Rich Russillo: ARIA RUNS TO THE ROPES, BEFORE DELIVERING A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!! DRAKE SITS UP HOLDING HIS MIDSECTION IN PAIN, AND ARIA JUST RUNS OFF THE PAIR OF ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK, FOLLOWED BY A STANDING MOONSAULT FOR GOOD MEASURE!! INCREDIBLE COMBINATION BY ARIA, WHO FINALLY GOES FOR THE COVER TO POSSIBLY PUT DRAKE KING AWAY!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Rich Russillo: NO!!! That was extremely close, but Drake was able to get the shoulder up! He couldn’t completely power out of that, though. After all those attacks to the midsection he probably was having trouble even breathing!
Persephone: Yeah, and I think it’s gonna get a lot worse soon enough! ARIA grabbed Drake in a headlock and is pulling him back up to his feet! Since I’m so good at my job and did enough research about these two, I think I know exactly what ARIA’s going for! She’s gonna make Drake tap out with a headlock!
James Peters: :skip: No, I’m pretty sure she’s setting up for “it’s Raining Cats and Dogs”.
Persephone: I knew that, I was just testing you. :wow:
Rich Russillo: Either way it looks like the move isn’t actually going to connect! Drake just barely manages to push ARIA off and send her into the ropes, BUT ARIA USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A HANDSPRING, ALLOWING HER TO GO FOR THE ZIRCON INJECTION INSTEAD-
James Peters: CROWN OF THORNS!!!
Rich Russillo: ARIA WENT FOR THE HANDSPRING CUTTER BUT DRAKE CAUGHT HER, ALLOWING HIM TO DELIVER THE HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER!!! SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS AS ARIA DROPS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, AND NOW IT’S DRAKE GOING FOR THE COVER ONCE MORE!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
James Peters: BUT ARIA IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO KICK OUT! That kickout was far weaker than what came earlier, but in the end it was still enough for her to survive that backbreaker! Now Drake needs to think of a way to finish off this match, as clearly the half nelson backbreaker wasn’t going to get the job done! Drake backs up into the corner, and right now he could be setting up for various moves which is exactly what makes the situation ARIA’s in right now very dangerous!
Rich Russillo: ARIA starts trying to push herself back up, forcing herself to get to a knee, BUT DRAKE DOESN’T WAIT ANY LONGER AS HE RUNS OUT OF THE CORNER, AND HE JUMPS UP FOR JUDGEMENT DAY- ONLY IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! ARIA WAS ABLE TO FALL BACKWARDS AND AVOID THE CURB STOMP, AND NOW SHE GRABS ONTO THE ROPES TO QUICKLY HELP HER GET BACK TO HER FEET! Drake now runs in knowing he had control over this match not too long ago, BUT ARIA IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, HOLDING DRAKE OFF AS SHE TRIES TO RECOVER!
Persephone: ARIA finally gets off of the ropes, and she hits Drake with a series of forearms right after that boot to the face! ARIA with a shoot kick to the midsection dropping Drake to a knee, AND NOW ARIA RUNS THE ROPES, RIGHT INTO A JUMPING KNEE FROM DRAKE! Both of them are looking pretty worn out by now after taking some serious moves, BUT NOW DRAKE RUNS THE ROPES AND I GUESS HE’S LOOKING TO END THE MATCH RIGHT NOW, AS HE JUMPS UP AND GOES FOR THE GUILLOTINE!
James Peters: ARIA AVOIDS IT!!! DRAKE TRIES TO GET BACK UP BUT ARIA IS QUICK ENOUGH TO GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD! IT’S RAINING CATS AND DOGS!!!! THE HEADLOCK DRIVER CONNECTS AND SENDS DRAKE HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT AS BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN!!! ARIA slowly finds the strength to push Drake over onto his back, AND NOW SHE HOOKS THE LEG, LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
James Peters: DRAKE ONCE AGAIN IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! Somehow this match still isn’t finished! That headlock driver came out of nowhere, but it looks like it’ll still take more than that to bring this match to an end!
Rich Russillo: ARIA slowly uses the ropes to pull herself back up, wondering what it’ll take to finish this match off. Both of these Elitists obviously want to win this match, wanting to make the other pay for their actions when it comes to the situation with TLA and his job! Right now ARIA is in a really good position as Drake is currently down and out on the mat, even after that kickout! Getting the shoulder up is the most he’s moved on his own since getting hit with the headlock driver, meaning that ARIA needs to hurry up and follow it up!
Persephone: Well, I think she’s found an answer! ARIA’s made her way out to the ring apron, and now she is climbing up to the top rope! She’s gone for some high risk moves throughout the match, and with the exception of the initial crossbody they’ve seemed to serve her pretty well, so I guess she’s looking to test her luck one more time! ARIA seems to have a good amount of time to get up there too, Drake is still down. In fact, are we sure he’s not injured? Maybe we should call off-
James Peters: :cmon:
Persephone: What? I’m just worried for the safety of the Voltage roster.
James Peters: Well lucky for you, this match seems to be coming to an end very soon! As you said Drake King is still down, and thanks to this ARIA has a huge opportunity to put this one away as she is perched up top with nothing stopping her from picking up one of- if not the biggest victory of her career thus far! ARIA NOW DIVING OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND SHE GOES FOR 2TF!!!!! TO THE FUTURE, THE SPIRAL TAP-
Rich Russillo: DOESN’T CONNECT!!! DRAKE KING ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT TO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! DRAKE MIGHT HAVE HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER AND CHOSE TO PLAY POSSUM, FOOLING ARIA INTO THINKING HE WAS ACTUALLY DOWN AND OUT!!! Because of this ARIA just crashed and burned, and Drake is using the turnbuckles to pull himself up before ARIA could get back to her feet. What an awful turn this match has taken as Drake seems to have found a way to regain control over this one once more!
Persephone: Drake is back to his feet now with ARIA only just barely getting to a knee, and now Drake lifts ARIA up into a powerbomb position! He seemed to struggle with that more than you’d expect, so he must still be hurting badly even if he was able to play possum! Drake is still holding ARIA up though, AND SINCE SHE SEEMS TO STILL HAVE SOME ENERGY LEFT ARIA BEGINS TO PUNCH AWAY AT DRAKE AS SHE TRIES TO FORCE HIM TO RELEASE HER, BUT DRAKE RUNS INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD, THROWING HER OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS AND INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!!!
James Peters: SHOTGUN DROPKICK BY ARIA!!!! ARIA FELL INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO BURST OUT OF THE CORNER AND HIT DRAKE WITH A DROPKICK KNOCKING HIM BACKWARDS, POURING EVERYTHING SHE HAD INTO THAT MOVE AS NOW BOTH HER AND DRAKE ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!!! Just being able to take in the pain from that buckle bomb even to deliver one move had to take a lot, and it just goes to show how far ARIA has come throughout her time in EAW! She’s more than capable of giving anyone an amazing fight, which Drake King is having to find out tonight!
Rich Russillo: Both ARIA and Drake are struggling to find their ways back to their feet, which isn’t even a surprise anymore knowing how much effort they’re putting into this match! Either way they’re somehow forcing themselves to continue fighting, because clearly they’re willing to do whatever it takes to leave Voltage with this victory! Drake King now starts to run at ARIA, AND HE SWINGS AT HER FOR A LARIAT BUT ARIA DUCKS IT, BEFORE DELIVERING A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER, CAUSING DRAKE TO STUMBLE AND FALL BACKWARDS, USING THE ROPES TO STAY ON HIS FEET AT ALL!!!
Persephone: ARIA now runs at Drake, BUT DRAKE LIFTS ARIA OVER HIS HEAD, SENDING HER CRASHING OUT TO RINGSIDE AS SHE WAS JUST BARELY TOO FAR TO GET HER HANDS ON THE TOP ROPE!!! ARIA just crashed and burned once again this time out at ringside, and it looks like Drake isn’t planning to follow her! Is he gonna take a countout victory?? That’d just be awful, this match should definitely last as long as possible, so I really hope the referee doesn’t start counting as fast as he possibly can!
James Peters: I don’t think that’s what’s going on here! ARIA is already starting to find her way back up, it just wouldn’t make sense for Drake to be looking for a countout victory when everyone can see that that’s not what’s going to happen! Someone who’s been here as long as Drake should be able to tell that she’d make it back in the ring in time, so unless he’s just buying time to recover, Drake has something planned! Either way, ARIA is using the barricade to pull herself back up to her feet, so whatever he’s thinking he better do it fast!
Rich Russillo: It actually looks like he’s been waiting for exactly that! Drake starts running the ropes, AND NOW HE FLIES OUT OF THE RING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, SENDING ARIA RIGHT BACK INTO THE BARRICADE!!! DRAKE IS ON HIS FEET AND HE SENDS ARIA RIGHT INTO THE RING, NOT GIVING HER ANY TIME TO RECOVER AS HE JUMPS ONTO THE APRON! ARIA GETS BACK UP AND DRAKE LOOKS FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE, BUT NOBODY’S HOME!!! DRAKE ROLLS TO HIS FEET AS HE AND ARIA RUN AT EACH OTHER, BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDER ARIA’S ATTACK BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A SLINGBLADE!!!
Persephone: It looks like waiting for ARIA to get up gave Drake the time he needed to recover and regain his strength. Drake pulls ARIA up before sending her into the ropes, AND DRAKE TURNS AND LANDS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! DRAKE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AND ONCE AGAIN HE LOOKS FOR JUDGEMENT DAY- BUT THIS TIME ARIA IS ABLE TO PULL HERSELF BACK BEFORE TURNING DRAKE AROUND!! ZIRCON CUTTER!!!! THE ZIRCON CUTTER CONNECTS, BUT ARIA DOESN’T HAVE THE ENERGY TO PUSH DRAKE OVER FOR THE COVER JUST YET!!!
James Peters: Both Elitists were really smart right there! Earlier in the match Drake waited for ARIA to get up for that curb stomp and that failed him, so this time he pulled ARIA up himself to stop her from having the energy to avoid it! Somehow ARIA was able to do so anyway though, this time also delivering a move of her own to take Drake down and end his streak of offense! Drake seemed to have this match in the palm of his hands for a bit, but he clearly didn’t count on ARIA having anything left! Underestimating ARIA is a really bad decision no matter how good you are, and I’m sure that’s what she aimed to prove just now!
Rich Russillo: ARIA uses the ropes to get back up to her feet, and now she grabs Drake by the arms to pull him up to his knees, BEFORE HITTING A KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!!!! ARIA hitting that huge knee strike to keep Drake down, AND NOW ARIA TRANSITIONS INTO THE “ARIA” OF EXPERTISE!!!!! I CAN’T SAY I WAS EXPECTING THIS, BUT WITH BOTH OF HER OTHER FINISHING MOVES BEING COUNTERED IN THIS MATCH THAT JUST LEFT THIS DEVASTATING SUBMISSION MANEUVER!!!
Persephone: THIS IS REALLY BAD FOR DRAKE! I’M SURE A SUBMISSION LIKE THAT IS REALLY PAINFUL, SO THE BEST THING HE COULD DO IN MY OPINION IS TAP OUT! I mean, surely nobody would wanna endure that much pain, right 😅!
James Peters: Honestly Persephone you might not actually be wrong! If this happened way earlier in the match things would be different, but at this point, I can’t imagine many people staying in a submission like this without giving up, whether it’s by willingly tapping out or by passing out because their body can’t take it anymore!
Persephone: YES, NOW TAP OUT! For your own health, of course!
Rich Russillo: Drake is in a lot of pain right now, but if he could somehow fight out of this submission or force a rope break that’d keep this match alive! The problem is, there’s no telling when or how he’d be able to do that! I have noticed that Drake has slowly been inching closer towards the ropes, but that’s a lot of pain to have to endure on his way there, to the point where I’m not entirely sure if it’s actually worth it! Is ARIA about to make Drake tap out!?
James Peters: ARIA’s the reason TLA has his job back, and we heard everything she had to say this week! She said herself that Drake is basically the definition of evil, and while there’s not many people she actually hates, Drake has found herself on that small list! I think everybody in the Ice Aces would love to see ARIA pick up a victory like this, and if she could stop Drake from getting closer to the ropes then we might actually see it happen! Problem is, he’s actually getting really close! Can ARIA stop this??
Rich Russillo: She’ll have to if she wants to win this match! This is the best opportunity she’s had throughout this entire match to put this one away, if Drake gets out of this submission for any reason they’ll both be back to square one, and there’s no telling what’d happen after that! ARIA needs to make Drake tap out unless she wants to risk potentially losing this match, and right now she’s running out of time, so she’s gonna have to think of something and fast!
Persephone: I THINK SHE JUST RAN OUT OF TIME! DRAKE REACHES OUT TO GRAB THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE COULD TOUCH IT ARIA IS ABLE TO ROLL OVER, ROLLING DRAKE AWAY FROM THE ROPES-
Rich Russillo: BUT IN THE PROCESS DRAKE QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF ARIA’S GRASP!!!!
James Peters: ARIA HAD A PLAN AFTER ALL! SHE WAS GOING TO ROLL DRAKE AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND KEEP THE SUBMISSION LOCKED IN, BUT WHILE ROLLING DRAKE WAS ABLE TO PLANT HIS FOOT AND PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP, RIGHT OUT OF ARIA’S GRASP! ARIA RUSHES BACK UP, BUT SHE’S MET WITH A SUPERKICK, AND THAT’S NOT ALL!!! ASCENSION!!!! DRAKE JUST PLANTED ARIA ON THE MAT!!!
Rich Russillo: See? That’s exactly what I was talking about! Drake got out of the submission and it looks like he already had something in mind for when that moment arrived! It doesn’t look like Drake is finished either, even after that combination of the superkick and double underhook facebuster! This is the type of thing you have to watch out for facing someone like Drake King, who’s now pulling ARIA back up to her feet by her arm. I think this match might just be over, AS DRAKE KING PULLS ARIA IN AND SETS UP FOR THE OVERHAUL-
(Suddenly, ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac hits. Drake King immediately drops ARIA, not even delivering the finishing move once he hears the music, and the crowd explodes into cheers for TLA.)
James Peters: Woah woah woah, IS HE HERE??? IS TLA REALLY COMING OUT HERE DURING THIS VOLTAGE MAIN EVENT MATCH??
Rich Russillo: Earlier in the night Drake King’s music played in an effort to distract TLA, which proved to be successful as Sierra Everett was able to pick up the victory after a roll up! Is that what’s going on?? Is TLA using Drake’s own trick against him??
James Peters: If that’s the case then it’d be Drake getting what he deserves, but… Wait a second! I DON’T THINK THAT’S IT!
(Drake slowly turns to the stage, and to his horror, not only is TLA there, but he is not alone! TLA rides down the ring in his lowrider, and along with him is an entire Mariachi Band as well as a bunch of Poons both in the lowrider and with the band! An entire party is making its way to ringside, and Drake can’t believe what he is seeing.)
James Peters: Oh my God, not only is TLA here but it looks like he’s turned the main event of Voltage into a huge party! We all know that TLA’s fun attitude has always been the type of thing that rubbed Drake King the wrong way, so what better way to get back at him than by throwing a party like this during his match??
Rich Russillo: Drake is screaming at TLA, telling him to go away, but I don’t think there’s any point in that! There’s not a chance that TLA would want to listen to Drake after what happened earlier tonight, or better yet what’s been happening for a very long time thanks to Drake! Everybody is enjoying themselves, except Drake King!
James Peters: This clearly isn’t what Drake had in mind for tonight, but TLA has a huge grin on his face right now! What a huge surprise in this main event matchup!
Persephone: Speaking of which, Drake should probably turn around!
James Peters: Wait a second- OH MY GOD!!! YOU’RE RIGHT!!!
Rich Russillo: ARIA PULLS DRAKE DOWN INTO A ROLL UP!!!! DRAKE WAS TOO BUSY FOCUSED ON TLA AND THE MUSIC FROM THE MARIACHI BAND, AND THAT GAVE ARIA TIME TO RECOVER!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AAAAAAARRRRRRIIIIAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida hits and the crowd explodes into extremely loud cheers as ARIA quickly rolls out of the ring with a smile on her face. The referee raises her hand from ringside as Drake King just turns his attention to TLA.)
James Peters: ARIA WINS!!!! ARIA PICKS UP THE VICTORY IN THE MAIN EVENT OF VOLTAGE!!! THAT DISTRACTION ALLOWED ARIA TO GET THE ROLL UP, AND IT WORKED AFTER THE AMOUNT OF TIME DRAKE SPENT IN ARIA’S SUBMISSION! ARIA WINS-
Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE IMMEDIATELY FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES AT TLA, WHO HAD THE LOWRIDER PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RING!!! ARIA JUST GOT POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HER CAREER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HER CELEBRATION WON’T LAST TOO LONG OUT HERE, AS DRAKE KING AND TLA ARE GOING AT IT NOW!!!
James Peters: ARIA is slowly backpedaling up the ramp as she watches this all go down, and I think she’s leaving this one to TLA, knowing that this is a fight he’d want to finish on his own! In the end ARIA got her victory, and now Drake and TLA are looking to take each other out after costing each other their respective matches! THIS FIGHT HAS NOW SPILLED OUT OF THE LOWRIDER AS BOTH MEN TUMBLE TO THE GROUND, AND DRAKE BEGINS LAYING PUNCHES INTO TLA- BUT THAT DOESN’T LAST LONG AS TLA PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF DRAKE BEFORE LANDING PUNCHES OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE PUSHES TLA OFF OF HIM AS BOTH MEN GET BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND OW TLA RUNS IN BEFORE RAMMING DRAKE INTO THE BARRICADE!!! DRAKE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND NOW TLA GRABS DRAKE BY THE NECK BEFORE SENDING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!! Drake uses the ring apron to pull himself back up, BUT TLA RUNS IN-
James Peters: RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW, AND NOW DRAKE GRABS TLA BEFORE THROWING HIM RIGHT INTO THE CAR DOOR! Drake now going towards TLA, AND DRAKE BEGINS SLAMMING TLA’S HEAD INTO THE DOOR REPEATEDLY, GETTING SOME PAYBACK AFTER WHAT TLA JUST DID IN TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT!!!! DRAKE CONTINUING TO SEND TLA’S HEAD INTO THE DOOR- UNTIL FINALLY TLA PUSHES HIM AWAY! BOTH MEN ARE LOOKING WORSE FOR WEAR AS TLA HAD COMPETED IN A MATCH EARLIER TONIGHT, BUT TLA LANDS A PUNCH RIGHT INTO DRAKE’S MIDSECTION!
Rich Russillo: NOW DRAKE SENDS ONE BACK, BUT TLA NOW DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE TOSSING DRAKE ON TOP OF THE LOWRIDER!! Drake starts getting up but he’s immediately hit with a hard right by TLA, who begins to climb up onto the hood of the lowrider as well!
James Peters: TLA pulls Drake up, BUT DRAKE IN A TURN OF EVENTS LANDS AN ELBOW TO THE JAW! TLA NOW WITH A PUNCH TO THE FACE, AND BOTH MEN ARE FIGHTING ON TOP OF THE LOWRIDER! TLA AND DRAKE GOING BACK AND FORTH, BUT DRAKE JUST DUCKED A SWING FROM TLA BEFORE KICKING HIS LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM! DRAKE CHOOSING TO KICK THE LEG OUT INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE BACK AND FORTH!! WHAT IS HE THINKING ABOUT???
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND!!! MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!! DRAKE JUST HIT TLA WITH THE MEXICAN DESTROYER, TLA’S OWN FINISHING MOVE ON HIS OWN LOWRIDER!!!
James Peters: What an insult to injury right there! Drake just took a very surprising loss tonight, and from the looks of it he didn’t take it lightly in the slightest!
Rich Russillo: These two have hated each other for years, and clearly there’s still no love lost between them! What happens next, I guess we’ll all have to find out next week!
(Drake slowly gets down from the lowrider as the entire Mariachi Band watches in horror as TLA slowly just falls off of it. Drake begins to make his way up the ramp, clearly not too happy with how things went tonight, and finally the camera focuses on TLA who’s been laid out, until Voltage fades to black for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
