(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. After it’s done, a brief montage of last week’s show plays: Drake Armstrong reads a eulogy for the life and career of Cy Henderson. In the opening contest, Joso defeats BRAE to advance in the King of Elite semi-finals. Ricky and Shinzo Sasaki are able to negotiate a match for the Interwire Championship at King of Elite with Ronan Malosi and Albert Hitchman. Prince Tohru and Mig De Decker of KAI-ZEN are able to defeat Rory Slate and Michael Machina in tag team action. Afterwards, Rory Slate runs into LILITH, tension palpable between the two women. Ryan Wilson defeats MITSU. After the match, Ryan lets it be known that things aren’t over between him and Xander Payne, and he wants his revenge while putting an end to their saga. In the next match, Milli Banks defeats Chris Elite after SOSA Henderson gets himself involved. She and him argue, but Ms. Extreme steps out, calls out all three of them, and they get ready to fight before Tyrone Montgomery comes out to address them. He announces a fatal four-way number one contender match for King of Elite, with the winner receiving a future shot at the EAW World Heavyweight Championship. Following that, Ms. Extreme is able to beat Ronan Malosi. Shinzo and Ricky can be seen backstage shaking their heads in disappointment backstage. Jay Jerry Johnson is interviewed by Michael Belfort recounting his King of Elite tournament performance. He promises to move on from his first-round exit, and guarantees that he’ll reach his dreams one way or another. Hans Grayson becomes the next semifinalist as he defeats Drake Armstrong after a vengeful Cy Henderson returns to cost Drake the match. Mia Santoro and Donovan Duke call out the Jaded Hearts, and they go back and forth, with Kassidy and Sienna warning them that their dreams of becoming the new Unified Tag Team Champions won’t be happening. Myles defeats Cody Maverick after a competitive match. Hans and Joso meet with each other backstage, with both men certain that they’ll be the one to represent Dynasty in the finals of the tournament. In the main event, Bronson Daniels versus Jake Smith ends in a double count-out. Tyrone comes out and announces that as a result, both Jake and Bronson will face Myles at King of Elite for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship.)
(The grandeur of the Dynasty logo splashes across the scene, commanding attention before seamlessly transitioning to a live capture of the magnificent Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile! The camera skillfully navigates the exterior, capturing the anticipation and excitement buzzing among the 15,000+ strong crowd eagerly awaiting the start of the sold-out show. Inside the arena, the atmosphere is electric, with fans filling every seat, creating a sea of anticipation for another round of amazing and thrilling action. As the iconic overhead sweep captures the spectacle, fans enthusiastically look up, their excitement radiating through the lens, creating a collective wave of greetings to the camera. The focus then shifts to the stage, where a sudden explosion of pyrotechnics lights up the arena, casting a mesmerizing red glow that dazzles the audience. The air is filled with the explosive energy of the moment, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.)
(Eventually, we get a shot of Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, who are on stand by.)
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think we need to tell you all about how much the EAW universe is looking forward to this! Welcome everyone to FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY! I’m Flannery McCoy, and I am with my trusted partner Jake Mercer! And if you’re wondering about our colleague Stew-O, do not fret; he’s here, but he’s currently getting in the ring because coming up, we have a blockbuster contract signing for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship match at King of Elite!
Jake Mercer: Another day, another unwarranted title match featuring Bronson Daniels. I thought the new year was going to bring about some actual change, but yet again, I am forced to see this man compete for a title he rightfully lost! And don’t even get me started on Jake Smith! When will the madness end?!
Flannery McCoy: Maybe when Jake Smith and Bronson Daniels somehow lose their drive to prove themselves to be the best, which won’t be anytime soon if I had to place some bets.
Jake Mercer: Well, thank gawd we have our mighty Kaiser Ronan Malosi to help wash this bitter taste from my mouth! His presence is enough to make such an unfortunate circumstance feel less horrid!
Flannery McCoy: The Interwire Champion will be competing tonight against MITSU, who is looking to snap his recent string of misfortunes in a big way, and seeing as how Ronan lost his match last week to Ms. Extreme, I’m sure that match is going to be quite the competitive affair! Speaking of, we have an insane night of action lined up for you folks! Ryan Wilson and Cody Maverick will be opening up tonight’s show in a match that I think could really set the tone for others to follow! Those two have been real passionate all week long in the lead-up for their match, so I’m sure it will not disappoint!
Jake Mercer: We’ve got two solid workhorses, I’ll tell you that much. We also have two promising stars on the rise as Chiyo Gedo makes his official Dynasty debut against the fearsome LILITH! After that, we have an interesting triple threat as AIRI Evergarden, Rory Slate, and Shinzo Sasaki are all looking to rebound and get a solid W underneath one of their belts!
Flannery McCoy: And aside from the aforementioned Malosi/MITSU bout, we have two hall of famers ready to duke it out as Cy Henderson takes on Sienna Jade! After that, we have a stacked yet explosive tag team contest with Ms. Extreme and Milli Banks teaming up again, under less friendly circumstances, against Chris Elite and SOSA Henderson! … Who also aren’t teaming under friendly circumstances in their own right. :lupe: Been a lot of tension between these four Elitists.
Jake Mercer: Hey, what’s wrestling without a bit of drama? And speaking of drama, in the main event of Friday Night Dynasty, we have the semi-finals for the King of Elite tournament! This is it, folks! The one that will decide who makes it to the finals from the Dynasty side! We have two leaders of the new breed as Joso and Hans Grayson go one-on-one in a match you definitely don’t want to miss!
Flannery McCoy: There’s a lot to look forward to tonight, and right now, we’ll kick things off with this contract signing! Myles, Jake Smith and Bronson Daniels will all meet in the same ring! You can go on ahead and take it away for us, Stew-O!
(The camera gives way to a shot of Stew-O inside the ring. A table has been set up along with four chairs, and a folder containing a contract can be seen. Stew-O looks at the camera and gives a warm smile.)
Stew-O: Thank you for that, Flannery and Jake. EAW universe, we are officially on the road to King of Elite, and we have a monumental title match ahead of us. The EAW World Heavyweight Championship will be defended, and while we initially thought that there would be a challenger for it, we ultimately ended up with two: Jake Smith, and the former champion, Bronson Daniels.
(The fans in the arena cheer. Then, a replay is shown of last week’s main event: Jake and Bronson take each other to the limit on the outside of the ring. Caught up in the moment, the two go to all-out war with each other, brawling and clashing. However, the referee was continuing to count, and before long, the count of ten was reached. Referees come rushing in to pry the two Elitists apart. Tyrone Montgomery then makes an appearance, and he makes the blockbuster announcement on the spot that Myles will defend the title against both Jake and Bronson at King of Elite.)
(The replay ends. The shot goes back to the inside of the ring, where Stew-O continues to speak.)
Stew-O: It was a back-and-forth contest of epic proportions, and while a clear winner couldn’t be decided, we go have two men who desire nothing more than to be world champions again. On the flipside though is a man, a war lord if you will, who has spent the better part of this season reclaiming his spot at the top of the mountain after he lost the EAW World Championship in controversial fashion last spring. All three men have been on a journey for greatness, for immortality all throughout their careers, and all three men were world champions last year. Now, their respective journeys have led them to one another, and at King of Elite, we will see who truly sits at the top of the throne. Now, without further ado, I would like to bring all three of them out here for this contract signing.
(As if on cue, ‘All Of The Lights’ by Kanye West ft. Rihanna and Kid Cudi hits. The fans offer a positive reaction the moment Jake Smith steps out. He dons some jeans, a white tee, sneakers and a black leather jacket. He looks around for a moment before he heads down to the ring and enters. A few bruises can be seen on his face from when he and Bronson were brawling last week in their match.)
(‘All Of The Lights’ fades, and ‘My War’ by Shinsei Kamattechan plays throughout the arena. Bronson Daniels comes out, dressed plainly in a T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and hoodie. He stops for a moment on stage to stare at Jake, who returns the gesture. He ultimately gets in the ring, sitting across from Jake. Then, ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits, and the world heavyweight champion makes his appearance. Myles is dressed in tones of grey and black, peering out into the distance to spot his future challengers. They turn their attention over to him, the man who has everything they wanted. Myles takes his time getting into the ring, and he sits right in the middle. He looks calm.)
(With everyone in the ring, Stew-O proceeds.)
Stew-O: Everyone is here and accounted for. However, before we begin, I want the floor to be opened for all of you to speak freely. Obviously, this is a huge match on the horizon for all of you, and I am sure the fans in attendance want to hear what all of you are thinking as you prepare for this bout.
(Jake nods, and he is the first to speak up as he picks up one of the microphone.)
Jake Smith: How I feel, huh? Well, Stew-O, my thoughts and feelings haven’t changed for a single bit. I’ve been wanting to get back to being a world champion again, and Road to Redemption was supposed to be that night for me. I had all of the intentions in the world of repeating history and winning a world championship at the same show that I won my first one in. However, that didn’t work out. I fell short of my goal and it stung. I had to deal with a disappointing end. Still, I knew I wasn’t going to give up. I deserve to be at the top spot again no matter what, and I wasn’t going to let my worth waver all because of one match. I know I have it in me to be a world champion. Getting to be a multi-time world champion always sounded nice in my head, but I didn’t want for it to be constrained to that. I wanted it to be a reality. I was going to make it a reality.
Jake Smith: Now, the chance is right in front of me again. I can practically reach it. Feel it. I am this close to making due on this opportunity and not fumbling it. I am this close to getting to hold another ten pounds of gold in my hands, and after everything I’ve dealt with, with all of the uncertainty that I had to go through both in and out of the ring, I’m not going to let this be another thing that gets called into question about me. People have said that I was only ever able to get my time underneath the sun because of the CITV briefcase, forgetting all I’ve sacrificed and endured in order to win it. I’m not going to let the doubts surface back again. I am going to win, and I am going to earn it through and through. No questions about it.
(Jake nods, confident in his words. However, his attention falls on Bronson who speaks up, having a microphone of his own in his hand.)
Bronson Daniels: I get it. I feel the same way. That need for inner validation, to prove your worth. It’s the same thing I’m dealing with. I tackled challenges head on all throughout my career here, and my time as the EAW World Heavyweight Champion was no exception. I’ve managed to overcome a lot of this, but there’s still that part of me that desires so much more. I felt like I was on the cusp of truly hitting my stride as champion before it was all taken away from me. Having an opportunity of this magnitude is something I don’t take lightly, and—
Jake Smith: That’s well and good, Bronson, but I wasn’t finished speaking. Then again, wouldn’t be the first time you’ve made everything all about yourself and your own little story.
(Bronson pauses, raising a brow at Jake’s tone of voice.)
Bronson Daniels: I beg your pardon?
Jake Smith: You heard me. It’s always about you. You and your triumphs and failures, and you know what, good on you for being able to rise through it all, Bronson. However, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve grown tired of this little fairytale of yours. You talk about how this is such a huge opportunity for you, but quite frankly, it’s an opportunity you haven’t earned. You shouldn’t even be here. You lost at Road to Redemption. You shouldn’t have a rematch. I shouldn’t have even entertained your idea for one.
(There’s a hint of bitterness in Jake’s voice.)
Jake Smith: But this is what I get for not being selfish enough. You get to waltz in and sell this idea that you need one more match, one more chance, one more opportunity when you are very much a made-man in your own right.
Bronson Daniels: Well, can the same thing not be said for you, then? You walk around as if you have the biggest chip on your shoulder all the time when you’ve proven yourself to be a credible star plenty of times.
(The fans cheer for that. Jake slowly nods his head.)
Bronson Daniels: We all want our chances. We all want opportunities. We’re Elitists at the end of the day, competitors at heart. Is it a crime for me to be just as ambitious as you now and throw my hat into the ring, wanting to be a two-time world champion in my own right?
Jake Smith: Maybe not, but if there’s anyone who should’ve gotten first dibs, it should’ve been me.
Bronson Daniels: … Something has to be up. Like, there is something far deeper than you’re truly letting on, Jake. You sound so entitled right now.
Crowd: :Lupe:
Jake Smith: Entitled? Me? And what does that make you, Bronson?
(Myles shakes his head and chuckles. Jake and Bronson both glance at him.)
Jake Smith: What’s so funny?
Myles: Ah, just this little quarrel, is all. It’s quite amusing.
Jake Smith: Is it? Then how about you be a willing participant in it and have even more of a ball?
Myles: I needn’t speak when you’re doing all of the talking for me. The selfishness. The entitlement. It’s all out there. However, it’s all going to be for naught at the end of the day. Whether I faced one of you, both of you, or an army of you, nothing was going to change the fact that at King of Elite, I will remain the EAW World Heavyweight Champion.
Jake Smith: You’re one to talk. Are we going to forget how you were carrying on and acting after you lost your title? If I’m the poster boy for entitlement, then you aren’t so far behind yourself, Myles.
Myles: Perhaps. But at least I’m not acting like an incessant baby about things.
(Jake held his tongue. However, before he could speak, Bronson chimes in.)
Bronson Daniels: Honestly, I don’t get any of this. This attitude of yours is uncharacteristic, Jake.
Jake Smith: Is it? Because all I am is being passionate, Bronson. That’s all. I have never changed in that regard. It’s just that you are so used to me smiling and sucking things up that it’s gotten you hurt or whatever that I’m no longer willing to hold myself back. I’m here to rewrite my own story instead of being a background character to yours and having to deal with your main character syndrome all of the damn time.
(Some of the fans gasp. Bronson looks taken aback.)
Bronson Daniels: I don’t understand. Where is all of this ire coming from?
(Myles snorts.)
Jake Smith: … I’m just fed up, Bronson. Fed up with you. Fed up with all of this. Fed up with you taking center stage all the goddamn time when you don’t deserve it at all. That’s all.
(Bronson grows quiet for a moment. He speaks up again, voice a bit lower.)
Bronson Daniels: And who are you to dictate who is and isn’t deserving when you haven’t done anything at the same level as me all this season?
(Jake purses his lips. The fans’ eyes widen, everyone murmuring as they sense the tension in the air. Myles shakes his head and chuckles.)
Myles: Well, this was bound to happen. I just knew it. Friendships mean nothing when there is glory to attain. Real feelings were bound to spill out.
(Jake rolls his eyes.)
Jake Smith: Okay, you can relax with the self-congratulatory pat on the back. You’re not some prophet. You’re just an egotistical king who has gotten far too comfortable on his throne that won’t be his for much longer.
Myles: Is that so? And you believe that you have what it takes to strike me down?
(He looks at Bronson.)
Myles: Or you?
Bronson Daniels: … Of course. I did it before, and I can do it all again.
Myles: If you wish to believe so, then be my guest. However, with all of this happening, I doubt the two of you will be able to truly focus on me. That’s why I’ve been keeping a watchful eye on you both, because I knew this was inevitably bound to happen. Your relationship with one another was always going to hit a snag when it came to chasing the same thing.
Jake Smith: Hey, Myles, you ever thought about shutting up for once?
(Myles doesn’t look fazed.)
Myles: No. However, I don’t think I need to when you aren’t exactly denying anything, either.
Jake Smith: …
(Jake sits back in his chair. Myles shrugs.)
Bronson Daniels: Okay, Myles. I see what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to get us to focus on one another so that the heat isn’t all on you. However, that isn’t going to work. At the end of the day, you have something that I want, and I’m going to take it.
(Jake mutters something underneath his breath, but no one picks up on it.)
Myles: You can believe that. I fear no one, let alone you and Jake. You two can come for me all you like, but you will miss, and fall short yet again of your own expectations. But, we needn’t waste anymore time. Stubborn heads hardly see any reasoning.
(Myles takes it upon himself to open up the contract and sign. He slides it over to Jake, who looks at him for a moment before he signs. He hesitates a bit, but he slides the contract and pen to Bronson, and he signs. All signatures are on the paper. Myles stands up, collecting the title with him.)
Myles: … But even if you two aren’t united now, you will be under grief. At King of Elite, I will remain at my peak, and none of you will ever knock me off of it.
(Myles leaves, and his theme music hits. Jake and Bronson watch on, seeing him walk away. Their gaze then falls onto one another, tension palpable. Stew-O takes the contract, ready to sign off.)
Stew-O, Well, there you have it! The match is official! Jake Smith, Bronson Daniels and Myles will fight for the biggest prize on Dynasty at King of Elite!
(Myles stop on the stage, looking back at the two men. He eyes them down, and the shot focuses on his point of view from that position before Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(An advertisement for King of Elite plays, with Myles defending the EAW World Heavyweight Championship against Jake Smith and Bronson Daniels.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of the backstage area of the Movistar Arena, where Dynasty’s designated backstage personnel Michael Belfort is seen standing by in an interview area with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand. He takes a moment, allowing the scene to set in, before from there bringing the microphone up to his mouth and beginning to speak.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back, and what an opening to Friday Night Dynasty that was! The World Heavyweight Championship match at King of Elite could not be more anticipated heading into the event, and along with that there is a lot to look forward to, especially in terms of what Dynasty has to offer. Later in the night we are going to be having the Semifinals on the Dynasty side of the King of Elite tournament, with Hans Grayson facing off against Joso to see who will be representing the brand in the finals. Right now though we are joined by someone who participated in the tournament themselves and ultimately ended up falling short, please welcome my guest at this time… BRAE!
(The camera pans over as BRAE is seen making his way into the scene, dressed in a suit as he bears a solemn expression on his face. Michael takes a moment before then beginning to speak.)
Michael Belfort: BRAE, thank you for joining us tonight. I just wanted to get your thoughts on last week and what transpired there. Of course, as we already know, you were eliminated in the second round of the King of Elite tournament by Joso. I think it’s safe to assume that you are not taking this victory lightly at all.
(BRAE does not hesitate to shake his head, immediately knowing the answer.)
BRAE: I am ashamed of myself, needless to say. The feeling of failure is never a pleasant one to have. But in the end, I will not deny Joso of the right of saying that he has a victory against me, that he has advanced in the tournament. He deserves that victory just as much as I deserve the loss, and the only thing that tells me is that there is still work that needs to be done. There is more that needs to be accomplished. Just like anyone else in my position, they would wish that the result that unfolded was much different. And while many would pout, whine, and complain that it is not so, the only thing that this does is gauge my optics and reaffirm that if I am placed in this exact situation sometime again, that it does not happen again. I have already punished myself for this failure, I have sat in the freezing cold and allowed for my thoughts to come into perspective, and I am ready to punish myself upon the next step, as long as it gets me to the goal that I aspire for. If I falls short like this once more, then there is no way that I will be able to take my career and my talents to the next level, and I will do everything that he can, regardless of the cost, to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. That I stand in successful triumph over the likes of anyone that decides to step up to me, and it is only a matter of time before my future is dictated through my hard work and dedication, and it is decided my path to the very top of this company.
Michael Belfort: Do you have any clue of what is next for BRAE?
BRAE: Not at all unfortunately, but it will be found out. As I like to boast, I am a man of time. I know that regardless of what may happen, I know that it does not change the fact that I will show up the next week, and the week after, and so on and so forth. The opportunities will be plentiful, and no matter who it happens to be up against I will make sure that-
???: Are you certain about that?
(BRAE immediately stops what he is saying, turning around to see him face-to-face with Cody Maverick, who is preparing for his match against Ryan Wilson coming up next. He has a smirk on his face as he eyes his fellow Elitist, taking the time to compose his thoughts before beginning to speak.)
Cody Maverick: I apologize for interrupting what you had to say, my good sir, but I couldn’t help but hear the conversation that you had about reaching the top and when you talk about that you just know that I had to be the one to step in. No offense to you and what you have been able to do in this company, because I know just as well as anyone how hard you’ve been working, I have to disagree with the claim that it is going to be you. Because no matter how bad you want it, no matter what you are going to do to try and prove it, I will already be one step ahead of you, proving exactly why I am the one that tou should be putting stock into. With the new crop of talent that has come into this company there is only one person that can stand head and shoulders above the rest and that is me. Whether you like it or not, The Sin City Superstar is here to stay and I’m not going to let anyone stop me from my believed destiny, not even you. I hate to be the one to break the news to you.
(Surprisingly, BRAE doesn’t respond to his claim at length at all. The only thing he does is give a sinister smirk, nodding is head and uttering out a few words.)
BRAE: I guess you’ll have to prove it in the ring, won’t you?
(BRAE, from there, turns around and makes his way out of the scene. Cody on the otherhand had an equally impressionable smirk on his face, nodding his head in agreement to what BRAE had to say. He then turns around and heads the opposite way toward Gorilla Position, as it is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to elsewhere.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Lord Knows’ by Drake featuring Rick Ross began playing as a mixed reaction erupted from the crowd! Cody Maverick barged out from behind the curtains and started marching down to the ring with an arrogant swagger to his step, trash talking as he stormed down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! HAILING FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS… HE IS THE SIIIIIIN CITYYYY SUPERSTAAAAR…… CODY! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!
Jake Mercer: The Sin City Superstar has been on a tear lately! Even though he wasn’t able to get the win, his match against our World Heavyweight Champion showed the world that Cody can back up all the trash talk he uses! Did you see the end of the match?! Myles needed to use TWO finishers to put Cody down; he was able to kick out of the first one to the shock of the world AND the champion!
Stew-O: Cody’s potential is tough to deny; after getting eliminated from King of Elite, he’s looking to prove himself further by taking on a former New Breed Champion and long-standing elitist!
(‘My Way’ by Limp Bizkit plays over the sound system of the arena and the fans are cheering as the former New Breed Champion, Showdown General Manager and former member of Dominion makes his way to the ring. He high-fives fans as he moves closer to ringside, takes the occasional selfie with members of the crowd before moving past one of the cameramen and saying to the camera ‘Watch Me!’ and walks on the ring apron. He gets in the ring and glares at Cody.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Montréal, Québec, Canada, weighing in at 210 pounds… RYAN… JOSEEEEEEEEEPH… WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And here’s the man in question! Ryan is walking into this match with a victory over MITSU last week; notably, his intense and deeply personal rivalry with Xander Payne continues as he recently costed Xander a match against the current New Breed Champion!
Stew-O: And if you’re wondering why Ryan seems to be staring daggers at Maverick, it’s because the trash talk Cody was unleashing ended up setting RJW off! The Sin City Superstar attempted to diminish Ryan’s crusade against Xander, and when that grudge involves Xander messing with Ryan’s beloved family, RJW certainly did not take it happily!
Jake Mercer: That’s just the business, and as the veteran in the match, Ryan knows it! If you ask me, I’ll be rooting for the loudmouth, MAVERICK!
Flannery McCoy: We’ll have to see who comes out on top in this showdown!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: Both men step out of their corners, and Cody begins trash talking Ryan right to his face! Call Cody what you want, but he doesn’t seem like a coward when he’s willing to keep up his cocky attitude in-person!
Flannery McCoy: But Ryan immediately lunges forward, taking the first strike as he gives Cody a stiff knee to the abdominal region! It looks like RJW is dead-set on making Cody eat his words as he uses the sudden first strike to catch Cody off-guard, pummeling him back into his corner! He follows it up with an enziguiri to the side of Cody’s head; off the bat, the veteran has the advantage over the New Breed!
Jake Mercer: Come on, Maverick! You got this! Ryan’s shifting gears as he pulls Cody out from the corner and Irish Whips him towards the ropes; he rebounds and starts running back at Ryan, who meets him with a running crossbody, bringing both men down to the mat! Cody’s shoulders are pinned against the mat, leading the referee to almost start counting, but Ryan cuts him off by unleashing a furious ground and pound on the Sin City Superstar!
Stew-O: Ryan has been incredibly motivated lately, and that’s showing with his high-octane offense here tonight! He suddenly gets up and performs an elbow drop! And another! But as he goes for the third, Cody suddenly rolls out of the way, leading Ryan to drive his elbow into the hard mat; he clutches at his arm in pain as Cody gets up with a hand on his head where Ryan was striking!
Jake Mercer: Aha, that’s where the mind games Maverick was playing worked! Ryan got a bit too aggressive and it worked against him! Now Cody is stomping out the downed veteran and getting some payback of his own! Turnabout is fair play as he performs a huge jump and PLANTS his elbow right on target! What vertical from Maverick!
Flannery McCoy: Now Cody’s yanking RJW up by the wrist and unleashing some of his dangerous punches; the former Golden Gloves boxer is ravaging Ryan with speedy and powerful strikes, forcing Ryan to stagger back in pain! The Sin City Superstar keeps pushing and pushing it until Ryan has his back to the ropes, after which Cody launches him off and into a sprint across the ring! Ryan rebounds and comes crashing into a vicious clothesline by Maverick!
Jake Mercer: He’s not done yet! After flipping Ryan inside out, Cody takes advantage of Ryan’s prone position and grabs him by the waist before powering him up! The strength on display is crazy, Cody just heaved 220 pounds off the mat and arcs him overhead with a wheelbarrow German suplex! Ryan comes crashing down and Cody flips himself over and onto Ryan’s legs to pin him!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: But Ryan emphatically kicks out, not allowing himself to be put away like this! Cody glares down at Ryan after the kick-out, frustrated by the resiliency on display. Not giving Ryan a moment to recuperate, Cody quickly forces Ryan back to his feet and pulls him into a sidewalk slam!
Flannery McCoy: NO! HE GOES FOR IT, BUT RYAN USES THE MOMENTUM TO BACKFLIP THROUGH THE MOVE AND LAND BEHIND MAVERICK! Cody barely had a moment to register what happened before Ryan grabs Cody’s arms and launches him back with a butterfly suplex! Cody, to his credit, manages to stagger up quickly after landing, but Ryan is ready as he catches him with a face-breaker knee smash, wearing down the head of Cody further!
Stew-O: Maverick staggers back towards the corner and Ryan follows suit, running up to Cody and launching him overhead with a monkey flip! Ryan gets back up and sees Cody in an opportune position; he excitedly looks around at the fans in attendance who sense his energy and reciprocate with cheers! Ryan hypes them up as he climbs to the top turnbuckle and steadies himself as he leers down at the still-fallen Cody. Without further ado, Ryan goes flying as he leaps up and starts plummeting with a MASSIVE frog splash!
Jake Mercer: BUT AS HE LANDS, CODY GETS THE KNEES UP, GIVING RYAN A HARSH AND UNFORGIVING LANDING! Ryan clutches his gut in agony as he falls back near the corner, and Cody gets up with an arrogant smirk on his face! He grabs hold of Ryan’s head and drags him to the corner, heaving the legs up onto the top rope! Cody’s going for a BIG move here! He’s going for THE MONEYMAKEEEEER!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RYAN MANAGES TO GET OUT OF IT! HE SLIPS HIS LEG DOWN THE TURNBUCKLE AND GETS IT BEHIND THE ROPE, USING IT TO PULL HIM AND CODY BACK AND CATCHING CODY OFF GUARD! Ryan cashes in on Cody’s confusion with a big reverse elbow smash, which sends Cody staggering back!
Stew-O: Ryan quickly goes through the ropes and follows up immediately with a running knee strike- OH! BUT BEFORE HE EVEN LANDS ON THE MAT, HE DOUBLES UP WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH! THAT’S RJW’S SPECIALIZED SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0!
Jake Mercer: Using a punch like that against a certified boxer is just disrespectful! But look- the move’s impact sent Cody falling back, and the referee was behind him! The ref got knocked into the turnbuckle and fell down against the corner! Ryan starts to set up for his patented Mic Drop maneuver before he realized the referee wouldn’t be there to count it!
Flannery McCoy: Ryan goes to the corner and checks on the referee, who’s downed to a seated position and his eyes closed as he clutches the back of his head after it crashed into the turnbuckle!
Jake Mercer: WHAT’S THIS?! AS RYAN ASKS THE REFEREE IF HE’S ALRIGHT, HE SUDDENLY GETS SMASHED IN THE JAW WITH A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER BAT! IT’S XANDER! HE CAME OUT OF THE CROWD AND TOOK THE FIGHT TO RYAN! THAT’S WHAT WILSON GETS FOR SCREWING XANDER OUT OF A WIN OVER MACHINA!
Stew-O: Ryan staggers back and looks like he’s about to go unconscious- BUT THERE’S CODY, WHO STAGGERED UP AFTER USING THE TIME TO RECUPERATE! HE TURNS RYAN AROUND AND GIVES HIM A STIFF KICK TO THE GUT! AND NOW- THE SIN CITY STUNNER! CODY GETS RYAN WITH THE VICIOUS JAWBREAKER, RIGHT AFTER THE ATTACK TO THE JAW FROM XANDER! RYAN LOOKS OUT COLD AND THE REFEREE COMES TO, NOT HAVING SEEN THE INTERFERENCE!
Flannery McCoy: CODY IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE PIN, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Lord Knows’ by Drake featuring Rick Ross begins playing once again as Cody gets his hand raised in victory by the still dazed referee.)
Flannery McCoy: At ringside, Xander continues glaring at the unconscious Ryan! He just cost him the match!
Jake Mercer: Like I said, turnabout is fair play! At the end of the day, it’s CODY who got the win from a former New Breed Champion after his incredible performance against the World Heavyweight Champion! The Sin City Superstar keeps making a case for why he’s one of the fastest rising superstars in the company!
(Cody makes his way out of the ring, happily leaving Xander to face Ryan who is beginning to recover. He makes his way around the ring, taking a microphone from the ringside area.)
Xander Payne: I heard what you had to say on Dynasty last week, Ryan.
(Xander laughs to himself as he circles back around, like a shark underwater. Ryan is beginning to stir as he is evidently very pissed off by this.)
Xander Payne: You asked for one more match against me, and honestly I am very confused about why we have to go through this with one another again. In case you didn’t realize, just as you were intending to do, I had plans to let this go. I wanted to put this all behind me so that maybe I could actually move onto something worth my time. The last thing I want to do is waste the rest of my career feuding with Ryan Wilson. But no, you had to inject yourself into my business, and why? We’ve already established that the win that you got in the Glass Crypt match at House of Glass was a complete and utter fluke, and how you simply got lucky in a match that you knew that you were never going to win facing the likes of me. Then something like that was only proven now that I’ve added yet another victory against you to the plenty that I already have when I beat you at Noche De Violencia. To sum it up, I have nothing to prove to you.
(Xander climbs onto the apron, slowly entering through the ropes and now standing across the ring from Ryan who is just beginning to get back up.)
Xander Payne: This is not a matter of me being “scared” of you like how you want it to be, you wish that were the case quite frankly. The reality is though, that I just do not want to go through all the trouble that I have already gone through having been involved with you. All this trouble just for this to end up having the same result that we have already seen over and over again happen and that is me beating you and you running off stripped of your dignity knowing that you have failed and struggling to move on. So as far as I’m concerned, I know that I can beat you, and while I, once again, have nothing to prove to you, Ryan, what you need to do is prove to me that you deserve a match against me.
(Ryan is quick to grab a microphone from the ringside area, as he approaches Xander and the two of them are face-to-face. Ryan is fuming, meanwhile Xander doesn’t seem to have much care for this confrontation between them at all.)
Ryan Wilson: Xander, you must have this entire situation mistaken. You know what you did, you know what you sparked in order for us to get to this point in the first place. The moment that you crossed the line you knew you should have never crossed, you lost the ability to dictate whether this conflict between you and I is over or not. Now, trust me when I say this, I am going to make sure that I stop at nothing in order to get what I want, what I feel like I need to do, and that is beat you and do so on my own terms.
Xander Payne: You had that opportunity already, Ryan. Time after time again you have been presented with this opportunity to get the better of me but despite that you don’t seem to capitalize on it. Bar House of Glass, which we can put to rest the debate on whether or not you earned that win, every single match that we’ve had has ended in my victory. I tried to save you from that embarrassment, I physically put you into my good graces so that you could finally have an out and succeed for the first time in your career. But even then you managed to mess that up, so once again I had to do what I did best and bend you over my knee and spank you. This is what you’ve chosen, and just like all the other times before, if you are this adamant on a match against me, then it’s going to end up facing the same result and that result is me beating you. So please stop trying, I’m trying to save both of us the trouble, consider this DOMINION’s dying wish for all I care. I’m not wasting another Marquee Event on Ryan Wilson of all people.
Ryan Wilson: From the very beginning, Xander, I have had the deck stacked against me. Nobody once believed me when I said that I was going to succeed, not even you. I have struggled for so long to get to the position that I am in here in this company, and I’m not going to let it slip because I lived with regret knowing I failed to finish the job against an Elitist like you. I promised that 2024 was going to be the year of Ryan Joseph Wilson and the only possible way I can see that happening is by ridding away my past demons and using that to elevate myself forward. Xander you are a thorn in my side, and these past couple of months you have grown from being my best friend to someone that I absolutely despise. The only way I can see myself getting rid of this thorn I have over my shoulder is by beating you. All I need is one more chance. The more you deny that right from me the more it shows just how fearful you are that I’m going to end up proving you wrong when it’s all said and done.
(Xander is seen getting visibly frustrated the more he hears Ryan speak, and after a moment he shakes his head before speaking once more.)
Xander Payne: You know what, if this is really what you want, Ryan, then it is exactly what you are going to get. In South Africa, King of Elite, I am going to beat you one more time, and once it is all said and done, once it is all through… I promise regardless of the result even though we all know what it is going to end up being that we will never see eachother again.
(The crowd cheers as Ryan nods his head.)
Ryan Wilson: Guess what Xander? I wouldn’t have it any other way. At King of Elite I am not doing this for myself, I am doing this for everyone, and I’m going to rid Friday Night Dynasty of this Xander Payne problem once and for all… no matter what it’s going to take.
(Ryan slams his microphone down to the ground as ‘My Way’ begins to play through the speakers once more. Xander drops his microphone down as well, and the two of them find themselves having an intense staredown with one another, their match at King of Elite having just been made official. The crowd is cheering loudly for this, excited for what is to come, as it is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out to elsewhere.)

(Dynasty comes back on air with the next match underway.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: One Fall!
(‘Geto’s True Identity’ by Yoshimasa Teruihits the speakers as Chiyo Gedo confidently walks onto the stage. He posed on the ramp before making his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, From Osaka, Japan… Weighing in at 170 lbs… CHIYOOOOOOO GEDOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: Here comes someone that the people should get hyped to see! Dynasty’s newest addition, Chiyo Gedo! His nickname should tell you enough already! He is called the Silent Terminator! If that doesn’t already get you hooked, I don’t know what will!
Flannery McCoy: Chiyo looks confident in his debut match here tonight, looking to get a victory over the Queen Of The Damned! Winning this match right here can be a great start to his EAW career so let’s see if he’ll be able to beat her!
(“What Makes You A Man” by The Ninth Wave replaces the music playing through the speakers as LILITH makes her way through the curtains. She walks onto the ramp with a serious expression on her face.)
Stephie Love: Introducing second, residing in Brasov, Romania… Weighing in at 113 lbs… LILLLLLIIIIIIIIITTTTTTHHHHHHH!!!!
Stew-O: Now here comes LILITH! She hasn’t had the best start of her career here in EAW but there seems to be more on the horizon for her! Last time she was in this ring in a match, she topped the former KAI-ZEN member MITSU!
Jaker Mercer: Facing someone like Chiyo, who is having his first taste of the spotlight of EAW, might be her chance to get another win and get on track. But don’t let that make you think he can’t be a hidden gem. All I know is that this match will be starting right now!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: And this match has officially started right here, LILITH and CHiyo both approaching the middle of the ring as they lock up and try to overpower each other! One thing about LILITH is that she has way more power in her than her size may show but she does have it in there! Because look at the way she manages to put that hidden strength to use right here as she backs Gedo into the corner right here! She starts stomping away at the mid section and the referee starts counting for her to break it up! And she does at the count of 4!
Stew-O: She puts her hands to the sky to signal that she is letting go of Gedo, waiting for her opponent to get out of the corner. And when he does, she runs straight back at him and looks to hit him with a clothesline to send him right back into it… BUT CHIYO SIDE STEPS! LILITH sent into the corner right now, now starting to throw forearms to the face as the referee begins his count again! Chiyo lets go as the count gets to 4 again before turning towards the crowd and posing towards the crowd to let them know who he is, right here in his debut!
Jake Mercer: But LILITH doesn’t appreciate that sentiment! Still roughed up from the forearms, she moves in and hits him in the back of the head with a double axe handle before she holds her jaw from the impact of Gedo’s strikes. Chiyo, back in his home country, was known for being a deadly striker. So the Queen Of The Damned is definitely feeling the effects of that right now, but she doesn’t waste time! As Gedo drops to a knee, she grabs him by the hair and sends him right back into the corner!
Flannery McCoy: She now climbs onto the corner and starts to punch away at her opponent! She’s got him in a bad position as she starts to punch away until the count of 10! But wait! Before she gets there completely, Chiyo manages to catch a punch! And he holds onto her and pulls her closer to grab her head before he drops down and sends LILITH flying headfirst into the top turnbuckle! Innovative counter by Gedo right there as the Queen Of The Damned holds her face as she stumbles away from the corner!
Stew-O: Chiyo takes advantage of it as he ascends the middle ropes before going all the way to the top, waiting for his opponent to get to her feet! And she does so he springs off the ropes to try to take her down with a massive diving crossbody from the middle rope! And it connects so he hold onto the cover!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWW—
Stew-O: But a kick out at 1.5 from LILITH lets it be known that way more is expected in order to win this match right here! Chiyo gets back up to try and do exactly that!
Jake Mercer: He drags LILITH to her feet and hooks his arm around her shoulder looking to hit her with some sort of Uranage, but before he can even lift her she starts striking him with some massive elbows to the side of the head that stop him from doing so! LILITH then ducks under the arm of Gedo and grabs him around the waist before lifting him overhead to plant him back down to the mat with a spiking German Suplex! And Chiyo holds the back of his head as he rolls to his stomach after being dropped!
Flannery McCoy: And now look at this, LILITH isn’t done punishing Gedo either, that German Suplex was just the start of the punishment coming in! She drags him towards the middle of the ring and starts to send knee strikes to the side of his gut after crawling over her body. The knee strikes are taking their effect, but Chiyo is trying to fight out as he tries to get towards his feet! The knees slow down the process but he somehow still gets there and starts to throw back elbows to LILITH’s gut as well! Both of them bent over, holding their abdomen!
Stew-O: But LILITH’s knees have done more damage to Chiyo than the back elbows have, as she is the first to her feet and tries to plant the Silent Terminator with a massive Uranage! BUT WAIT! Gedo lands on his feet from the move and doesn’t get hit with it and moves and hits his own Uranage! NEVERMIND! She counters too and this time… THE URANAGE DOES PLANT GEDO! LILITH has him in the middle of the ring and hooks his leg!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWW—
Jake Mercer: Nope! Kick out at 1.5 as well from Chiyo! LILITH doesn’t waste any time dragging him to his feet however as she holds onto his arm so she can throw a massive short-arm lariat– NO! WAIT! CHIYO DUCKS UNDER AND HOLDS ON! HE LOOKS FOR THAT SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT HE CALLS ‘SWIFT ENDING’! ALREADY! BUT LILITH MANAGES TO PUSH HIM ENOUGH SO HE LANDS BEHIND HER! And after getting out like that, she runs up towards the ropes and rebounds off them so she can plant Chiyo into the mat with a massive Springboard Cutter!
Flannery McCoy: Gedo face planted into the ring and turns onto his back, which is right into position for LILITH to run towards another set of ropes to spring up again and follow up the massive cutter with a Springboard Moonsault! And it hits as well! She hooks both legs!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: AND A KICK OUT FROM CHIYO GEDO AT 2! Can you believe that amazing combination by LILITH after countering Chiyo’s finishing move wasn’t enough? Because I can’t! It seems she can however because she grabs the arm that Gedo used to kick out to turn him around before pulling his head up right into that signature Banks Statement called ‘Perdition’”
Stew-O: Chiyo is trapped right now and tries to crawl his way to the ropes but LILITH’s grip is strong, every inch crawled makes it hurt more! BUT WAIT! HE ROLLS HER UP OUT OF NOWHERE!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT SHE KICKS OUT AT 2 AND POPS UP TO HER FEET BUT SO DOES CHIYO! BUT WAIT HE RUNS RIGHT INTO LILITH’S FINISHING POP-UP POWERBOMB! SHE CALLS IT THE ‘FALL OF BABYLON’! GEDO MIGHT BE DONE HERE—
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: NO! HE TURNS AROUND MID-AIR AND COUNTERS WITH A REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! HE ESCAPES THE FINISHING MOVE AND SPIKES LILITH ON HER HEAD! He rolls over to the corner to catch a breather real quick! That counter took a lot out of him after already getting hit by some big moves by LILITH! And as she starts to get up, he walks back up to her and grabs her into that full nelson hold, but not to lock in the submission but to plant her into the ring using a deadly Snap Dragon Suplex! But also, look at that beautiful bridge he holds onto so he can pin LILITH!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: But yet again a kick out at 2 from LILITH! Gedo gets back up to his feet instantly however as he pulls her into a massive Guillotine Choke! He’s looking to choke her out for the victory right here, bodyscissors applied as well! But look at this! An example of never underestimating how much power LILITH holds! She somehow starts to lift the man all the way to her feet! But wait a second! Gedo tries to turns it into his signature Satellite DDT! That ‘Fatal Head Trauma!’! He looks to plant her in the middle of that ring—
Stew-O: NO! LILITH STILL HOLDING HIM UP THERE BEFORE POPPING HIM UP INTO A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! The power of the Queen Of The Damned is AMAZING! But it’s also looking VERY bad for Chiyo Gedo right here! He might be in the worst possible spot because it seems that LILITH is planning to turn up a few gears! She drags him to his feet and just starts to throw forearm smash after forearm smash! She is making his lights go out, which may be ironic because she then puts his arm over her head to lift him for a Northern Lights Bomb!
Jake Mercer: Chiyo is planted in the middle of the ring right there! She hooks the legs, looking to finish him for good!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
Jake Mercer: BUT SOMEHOW! GEDO MANAGES TO STAY IN THIS! LILITH doesn’t seem pleased with this however as she mounts the Silent Terminator and starts to punch away at the head of her opponent! She is looking to hurt him for real and win that way! And it seemingly works because Chiyo is not moving at all! She takes this as a sign that she is nearly there! She almost has the win!
Flannery McCoy: LILITH gets up from the body of Chiyo that is now completely motionless! She backs all the way towards the corner and starts to call for Gedo to get up to his feet. Slowly but surely he starts to move, crawling to the ropes. He uses them to get back to his feet and get to the middle of the ring. AND THAT’S WHERE HE GETS INTERCEPTED WITH THE SIGNATURE ‘HAIL MARY’ FROM LILITH! SPEAR! INTO THE COVER!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
TTTHHHHRRR—
Stew-O: NO CHIYO KICKS OUT AT 2.9! LILITH ALMOST HAD IT! But she isn’t going to be satisfied with “almost”! She makes her way back to the same corner and starts to call for a second move! Gedo is just holding onto his gut from the Hail Mary, trying his best to get up from it as he goes back to face LILITH. But the Queen Of The Damned wanted that as SHE STORMED AT HIM LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!’ THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! IT CONNECTS—
…
…
…
Stew-O: WHAT?! GEDO SIDE STEPS JUST IN TIME TO SUCCESSFULLY CONNECT ‘SWIFT ENDING’ THIS TIME! THE SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT INTO THE COVER!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOO!
TTTHHHHRREEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… CHIYOOOOOO GEDDOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: AND CHIYO IS VICTORIOUS IN HIS DEBUT MATCH! What a match by the way! Both of these competitors showed out and if it wasn’t for that perfect reaction time of Gedo, LILITH would have 100% won! This match could have gone either way!
Stew-O: But in the end, only one man walked away with the win to his name and that man is the Silent Terminator himself! Congrats to him and good luck to both of them in the future because this match proves 1 thing… Both of them are future stars if they can keep delivering!
(Chiyo gets up from the cover as the referee raises his hand in victory. LILITH rolls towards the outside holding her neck, disappointed by her defeat. The scene fades out as the debutant celebrates with a pose.)
(The camera would fade into the backstage area, where Shinzo Sasaki, Mig De Decker, and Prince Tohru were all standing by each other in the backstage area, with Ricky standing right in front of them, KAI-ZEN all in unison. They all had serious looks on their faces, but Ricky was smiling from ear to ear, because he knew that KAI-ZEN has been on the right path since the beginning of this year, he would then begin to speak for all of them.)
Ricky: From the very beginning of this year, we made ourselves, and our intentions clear, and that is something that we have since achieved thus far. 2024 is going to be our year. Heading into King Of Elite, KAI-ZEN have a lot of big matches coming up. We are going to take over Friday Night Dynasty, and all of Elite Answers Wrestling for that reason. I know that Mig De Decker might have fallen short in the King Of Elite tournament, the first round of that tournament no less, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t get back on track, because he will, we have all promised him better things in his career and better things is exactly what he is going to end up getting by the end of this.
Mig De Decker: Thank you, Ricky. It has been a rocky road for me but I am always going to get better, and I am always going to get on the right path of success no matter the adversity that I have to go through in order to get there.
Ricky: And then, we focus on the successors of the group so far, who have the opportunities of a lifetime in order to bring championship gold to KAI-ZEN in general, starting with Shinzo Sasaki. He has been an absolute freak of nature with little to no defeats since his debut in Elite Answers Wrestling, he has made it to the finals of the Cash In The Vault tournament and even though he may not have beaten Charlie Marr, that doesn’t change the fact that he is on the right path to success, and the right path to success is going to lead him to the King Of Elite marquee event where he is challenging Ronan Malosi for the Interwire Championship, in a match where I see there is zero issue of him losing whatsoever.
Ricky: It is basically an inevitability that Shinzo will end up leaving King Of Elite as the Interwire Champion one way or another, and Ronan Malosi may have some tricks up his sleeve, there is no doubt in that, the champion knows very well how to use those to his advantage, but te champion, isn’t going to be champion for much longer. The champion isn’t going to be holding the championship for much longer. These aren’t just predictions that I am throwing out there right now, and when Shinzo obliterates both Rory Slate and AIRI Evergarden in just a couple of short moments, I hope that point is made clear as day.
Shinzo Sasaki: That is absolutely correct, Ricky. I am going to destroy Rory Slate, I am going to destroy AIRI Evergarden, and when it comes, I am going to destroy Ronan Malosi too, and by the end of all of it, I am going to turn the world upside down, and I am going to proudly bring that Interwire Championship to KAI-ZEN, and there is no one that is going to stop me from doing so. I can promise that the Interwire Championship will be mine by the end of this.
Ricky: And then… we have Prince Tohru. Prince? He has been exactly what he calls himself, a Prince. He won the Extreme Enigma Memorial Battle Royal at the Road To Redemption event, and he has earned his way into a shot at the New Breed Championship against Michael Machina. Yes, even though Machina is a very valuable threat, someone who has been on an absolute tear through the Dynasty roster, that doesn’t change the fact that I personally expect for Tohru to walk out of their inevitable battle as the New Breed Champion, because I truly have faith in him.
Ricky: I have faith in him, because he has been one of the fastest rising Elitists that this company has ever seen, with Shinzo being right there with him, and because of those two when they win their respective championship matches, and Mig e Decker also being on the rise as well, this will mean that KAI-ZEN will soon be confirmed as the fastest rising unit that this company will ever see here in Elite Answers Wrestling. Prince Tohru is going to win the New Breed Championship from Michael Machina, and soon, we would have all achieved our goals here.
Prince Tohru: I will bring the New Breed Championship home to KAI-ZEN no matter what, because that is my destiny. Michael Machina is no talent to underestimate,but I know that I can handle him, I know that I can defeat him, I know that I am going to defeat him, I know that I will beat him. The New Breed Championship will be in the hands of KAI-ZEN, and the whole world will finally rejoice when we are left on top of the world. Ricky, it’s time for us to go, and to watch Shinzo destroy his weak competition.
Ricky: You are right, Prince. It’s up next, and Shinzo, I believe in you. Prince, I believe in you to win the championship as well. Mig De Decker, I believe in you to get back on track here in Elite Answers Wrestling. This is really just the beginning for KAI-ZEN.
(They all nodded their heads in agreement, as Ricky smirked, before he would then walk out of frame and walked away, with Prince Tohru, Shinzo Sasaki, and Mig De Decker walking away with him, as the camera would then begin to fade out from there, Dynasty going to commercial break.)
(A commercial plays for Call of Duty Warzone.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Triple Threat Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Loose Change (Instrumental Version)’ by The Alchemist can be heard through the arena as Shinzo Sasaki makes his way out the entrance way as Ricky and KAI-ZEN accompany him from behind before they head to the back as he makes his way to the ring with a confident strut and smirk on his face.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Kobe, Japan… Weighing in at 220 lbs… He is the “Leader of The Underworld”… SHINZOOOOOOOOOO SASAKIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Jake Mercer: Here he comes! The elitists that’s next up to go one on one against The NEW Kaiser Ronan Malosi! That match is about to feed families ladies and gentlemen believe it, but tonight we will see if he can pick up some momentum with a win against two other elitists looking for a momentum boosting win!
Flannery McCoy: I hate when you’re right, but you are right as we are about to see some great action between three elitists seeking to get a win and get a decent amount of momentum as we head into King of Elite!
(Shinzo Sasaki slowly makes his way inside the ring as his theme fades out and ‘Monsters’ by Currents starts to play as Rory Slate comes out and slowly makes her way into the ring as she looks focused here tonight.)
Stephie: Introducing his opponent… From Chicago, Illinois… Weighing in at 138 lbs… She is “The Windy City Sadist”… RORYYYYYYYY SLATEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: Now this is one elitist that is looking to change things around as she’s been picking up loss after loss these couple of weeks and a win here tonight can definitely change things for her.
Jake Mercer: Most definitely but I mean she’s heading into this match against Shinzo Sasaki, a man that is focused on becoming EAW Interwire Champion! You have to assume that he is going to make sure to keep the momentum coming his way to make sure that the cards are in his favor when he finally faces off against Ronan Malosi for his championship in the near future!
(Rory Slate heads inside the ring as her theme song is replaced by ‘The Story of Yomiyama’ by Kow Otani as AIRI Evergarden heads out from the back and confidently struts towards the ring as she looks straight at the ring where Shinzo Sasaki and Rory Slate are seen inside.)
Stephie: Introducing their opponent… From Chiba, Japan… Residing in Seoul, South Korea… Weighing in at 170 lbs… She is “The Infinity”… AIRIIIIIIIII EVERGARDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!
Jake Mercer: Here’s another elitist looking to pick up a win tonight and if she’s able to beat both Rory Slate and Shinzo Sasaki one has to assume that opportunities will come her way!
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, but only time will tell if AIRI Evergarden has what it takes to pick up the win here tonight or if she flies too close to the sun and isn’t able to pick up the win. Let’s get to the action and see what awaits these three elitists!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: The match is on its way as all three elitists look at each other as Rory Slate and AIRI Evergarden quickly focus on Shinzo Sasaki as both elitist quickly drop him with a Double Dropkick before getting back up and both grabbing each other in a Collar-and-Elbow Lock Up! AIRI is able to get the upper hand as she gets behind Rory Slate and pushes her towards the ropes! Rory Slate rebounds off the ropes as AIRI Evergarden is prepared as she picks up Rory and hits her with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker quickly throwing her aside as she starts to run the ropes herself, rebounding off them, and hitting Rory Slate with a standing Moonsault! AIRI is going off as we speak as she starts to put Rory Slate into a headlock, but Rory isn’t giving in just yet as she slowly starts to get back up trying to escape the headlock, but AIRI quickly hops on Rory’s back and hooks in a Sleeperhold onto her! What a quick way to end the match here tonight if AIRI can successfully keep the Sleeperhold on her and make her pass out!
Jake Mercer: YAKUZA KICK OUT OF NOWHERE FROM SHINZO AS HE CAUSES RORY TO FALL ON TOP OF AIRI! Rory Slate now rolling out of the ring as Shinzo Sasaki slowly starts to pick up AIRI before sending her back down onto the mat with a Saito Suplex as he starts to run towards the ropes and hits his own variation of the Standing Moonsault as the Sasakisault lands perfectly! Shinzo is showing the world here tonight WHY he deserves to be the EAW Interwire Champion here tonight and why Ronan Malosi’s time as champ is coming up very soon as he intends to become champion very soon! I don’t know how the NEW Kaiser feels about that one, but right now Shinzo Sasaki is concerned with picking up the dubya in this match as he starts to slowly pick up AIRI Evergarden…
Flannery McCoy: Springboard DDT from the outside as Rory Slate connects with it on Shinzo Sasaki as both AIRI and Shinzo go down to the ring mat! Shinzo sitting back up after the impact of the DDT as Rory Slate noticed quickly running the ropes and quickly connects with a Basement Busiaku Knee to Shinzo’s face finally causing him to be laid out on the mat! Rory Slate definitely trying to pick up some much needed momentum after last week’s loss to KAI-ZEN and picking up a win here against KAI-ZEN’s own Shinzo Sasaki would definitely help here tonight as Rory Slate slowly now starts to pick up Shinzo Sasaki as she gets him back on his feet and tries to pick him back up, but he puts all his weight down preventing Rory from picking him up. Rory isn’t going to give up just yet as she quickly throws a Forearm right to Shinzo causing him to stumble back towards the ropes before he attempts to use them to rebound, but Shinzo is quickly pulled to the outside of the ring by AIRI Evergarden!
Stew-O: Shinzo and AIRI start trading blows back and forth as Rory Slate sees a big opportunity here as she starts to run the ropes as she rebounds off them and goes for a Suicide Dive to the outside of the ring as AIRI pushes herself out of the way while Shinzo gets caught with the dive being sent towards the barricade, but AIRI ready to capitalize as she grabs Rory Slate from behind and goes for a German Suplex right on the ring apron! AIRI Evergarden grabs the groggy Shinzo Sasaki off the barricade quickly as she throws him back inside the ring and starts to climb to the top rope as Shinzo is still dazed and confused. AIRI takes the dive off the top rope as she’s looking to connect with a Frog Splash as it lands effortlessly as AIRI slowly gets back up and starts to pick up Shinzo as she grabs onto his arm and drags him towards the rope as she climbs on the ropes and starts to walk on the ropes before hoping off them effectively hitting Shinzo Sasaki with a Ropewalk Armdrag! Shinzo is seen on his knees kneeling as the Armdrag wasn’t enough to keep him down as AIRI runs the ropes using the rebound as she attempts to connect with a Kneeling Frankensteiner!
Jake Mercer: It seems not as Shinzo Sasaki uses all his strength to keep her up on his shoulders as he starts to slowly get up from his knees while still grabbing onto AIRI Evergarden, but Rory Slate getting up using the barricade for assistance as she gets back up on the apron and uses the ropes to hit Shinzo from behind with a Springboard Twisted Heel Kick causing Shinzo to drop AIRI Evergarden with a sort of assited Powerbomb thanks to that attack from Rory before he rolls out of the ring! Rory Slate is not wasting any time as she starts to focus on AIRI as she quickly starts to pick her up, grappling her, and connecting with a Spinebuster right in the middle of the ring! All three of these elitists are going off as we speak, but only one of them can win here tonight and trust me that when I say Rory Slate is hungry for a dubya she is HUNGRIER than most elitists especially in this match! She slowly starts to pick up AIRI Evergarden as Rory Slate Irish Whips her towards the ropes and quickly connects with a Frankensteiner! Rory Slate is now going for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEE-!!!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo Sasaki made it back inside the ring in the nick of time to break up the cover as he picks up AIRI Evergarden and throws her out of the ring before quickly starting to pick up Rory Slate to set her up for a German Suplex as he connects with it, but he’s not done just yet as he doesn’t let go of Rory Slate just yet as he quickly gets back up, repositions her, and plants her down with a devastating Tiger Driver! Shinzo is not here to play any games as he is looking for the beginning of the end here tonight ladies and gentlemen! Shinzo picks up Rory Slate as he puts her on the ropes as he goes for the Rope-hung Dragonscrew Neck Whip and connects with “The 36th Chamber” as he quickly goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO-!!!
Stew-O: A kick out just at from Rory Slate as she’s still fighting through, but Shinzo Sasaki isn’t wasting any time here tonight as he grabs Rory from the mat and picks her up quickly as he positions her for “Madvillainy” as he’s looking to connect with the Wrist Clutch Exploder… but Rory Slate is able to quickly roll up Shinzo Sasaki using the momentum from being pulled towards Shinzo against him as the referee starts to count the pinfall!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH-!!!
Stew-O: A kick out from Shinzo before the three as Rory Slate definitely caught Shinzo Sasaki off guard, but Rory is not wasting this opening she made for herself as she quickly rolls up Shinzo once again after he groggily gets back up but let’s go as she connects with a Superkick as she fully connects with Ava Kedavra before she starts to head towards the turnbuckle and climb to the top rope, takes a dive, and connects with a beautiful Swanton Bomb as she rolls back up while having Shinzo on her shoulders! She’s using all her adrenaline to keep him on her shoulders as she quickly drops Shinzo with a Buckle Death Valley Driver as “Cell Block Six” connects! Rory is now going for the cover…
Jake Mercer: AIRI pulls Rory Slate out of the ring before she can get the full cover and Irish Whips her strongly towards the ring barricade before getting back inside the ring and going for a quick cover on Shinzo off of Rory Slate’s “Cell Block Six” signature move, is AIRI about to steal the win here tonight?!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: T-!!!
Jake Mercer: Not enough to keep the “Leader of The Underworld” down just yet as AIRI is trying to figure out what it’s going to take to keep Shinzo Sasaki down for the three. AIRI starts to head to the outer side of the ring apron as she notices that Rory Slate is slowly getting up as AIRI runs on the apron before diving off it and hits Rory Slate with a Cannonball Senton off the ring apron as she quickly gets up and gets back up on the apron as she uses the ropes to hit Shinzo Sasaki with a Springboard 450 Splash back inside the ring! Looks like AIRI has shifted into third gear now as she starts to quickly pick up Shinzo Sasaki and uses her adrenaline to connect with a German Suplex on Shinzo Sasaki… but she’s not done here as she’s looking to connect with her signature move the “Psycho Holiday Party” as she doesn’t let go of Shinzo just yet and quickly gets up after the German Suplex quickly transitioning into a Dragon Suplex before finishing off with a Straight Jacket Suplex as the Chimera-Plex Combo connects effectively! AIRI now with a quick cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THRE-
Flannery McCoy: A kick out from Shinzo Sasaki as AIRI quickly grabs Shinzo and drags him towards the corner as she grabs onto the ropes and goes for “Fear of God” as the Split Legged Corkscrew Moonsault looks like it’s going to connect… KNEES UP AS AIRI GOES BACK FIRST ON SHINZO’S KNEES!!! Rory Slate now getting back inside the ring, but Shinzo able to quickly grab her and connects with “Enter The Dragon” as the Vertical Drop Brainbuster connects as Shinzo kicks Rory Slate out of the ring and quickly picks up AIRI off the ground and sets her up for “Madvillainy” as the Wrist Clutch Exploder connects and quickly Shinzo Sasaki goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner…He is the “Leader of The Underworld”… SHINZOOOOOOOOOO SASAKIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Jake Mercer: What an impressive win from Shinzo Sasaki here tonight as he made sure to neutralize both opponents to make this match his and picking up a momentum boosting win that definitely puts him in a good place as we approach his match against Ronan Malosi!
Stew-O: This match was very close but at the end of it all Shinzo Sasaki had what was necessary to pick up the win while Rory Slate and AIRI Evergarden were very close but no cigar as they ended up taking the loss.
Flannery McCoy: We could’ve had any of these elitists pick up the win as they all showed why they deserve to be in this company, but they just didn’t have what it took today as they try to find a new game plan while going back to the drawing board!
(Shinzo Sasaki is seen heading back with a smirk on his face while AIRI Evergarden and Rory Slate start to slowly pick themselves up looking very disappointed with the results tonight. They leave out of the ring and then disappear to the back. KAI-ZEN comes on out to join up with him, impressed with his performance.)
Stew-O: What a momentum boost for Shinzo here as he picks up the victory, and you have to wonder how pleased KAI-ZEN is with the outcome. With he and Prince Tohru having their title matches coming up, this is everything they need to keep the ball rolling–
(Then, their attention turns to the stage as ‘Dead Opps’ by DD Osama & Notti Osama hits, spurring a larely negative reaction from the crowd. However, it doesn’t fade the New Breed Champion who steps on out, brandishing the championship around his shoulder. Donning a crisp suit that’s slightly open and a pair of black shades, the New Breed of Legends takes the time to look down at the gold that he possesses. He smirks. It was all his, and after getting his first successful title defense with it before Road to Redemption, he has shown no signs of letting up. Michael confidently strides down to the ring as the music blares through the arena, the chorus of boos from the audience echoing around him. Undeterred, Michael raises the New Breed Championship high, showcasing it to the displeased crowd.)
Stew-O: Here he is! As we all know by now, at King of Elite, the New Breed Championship will be on the line as Michael Machina defends against KAI-ZEN’s Prince Tohru, who earned the opportunity after winning the Extreme Enigma Memorial Battle Royale. KAI-ZEN have been confident about their chances for a sweep at King of Elite as two of their members have the opportunity to become singles champions at the same time. What a statement it would be if they are able to be successful in that endeavor!
Jake Mercer: KAI-ZEN is a highly ambitious group, driven by success and results. I’m sure Ricky, Shinzo and Prince Tohru see the gold that awaits them. However, Michael Machina isn’t the sort of person that’s going to take too kindly to being seen as a stepping stone, and with the New Breed of Legends’ run getting steam, I won’t be surprised if he sees himself as being the one to have the New Breed Championship still in his grasp once King of Elite is over and done with.
Flannery McCoy: Michael has been nearly unstoppable, too. Just as much as Prince Tohru is a threat, so too is the champion. It’ll be interesting to see them clash for the New Breed Championship – and whether or not KAI-ZEN will do everything in their powers to ensure that Tohru becomes a champion.
(Michael enters the ring, his confidence evident as he continues to flaunt the New Breed Championship. His attention then diverts to Prince Tohru who looks straight at him.)
Michael Machina: Look at this beauty. The New Breed Championship. A symbol of excellence and dominance. And it looks damn good on me, doesn’t it?
(He pauses, soaking in the reaction from the audience.)
Michael Machina: It was always meant to be mine. The moment I signed my name along the dotted line and became a force within this promotion, it was only a matter of time before I became a champion. I was going to set myself apart from the rest of the rookies in this promotion, and I was going to etch my name into the record books, no matter what. Sure enough, we’re here, with me at the top of this division while everyone else is playing catch up with me. However, no one is going to come even a fraction close to my throne.
(Michael’s stare hardens as he looks at Prince Tohru.)
Michael Machina: Not even you.
(The two would look at each other for a moment. Tohru’s gaze matches Michael’s, narrowing a bit.)
Michael Machina: You know, it’s cute. KAI-ZEN thinks they can make a clean sweep at King of Elite. Well, let me make something crystal clear. Prince Tohru, you’re stepping into the ring with the New Breed of Legends. You think you can dethrone me? You think you can take away what’s rightfully mine? Not gonna happen. I’ve proven time and again that I am the rightful owner of this title. And at King of Elite, I’ll do it once more. You’re just another obstacle in my path, and I’ll bulldoze right through you. You may have done well for yourself, even winning a battle royale whereas I failed to do so at Pain for Pride, but I have grown since then, becoming better than the Future or even the Hardcore Champion. I have become an indominatable force, and one big win isn’t going to change what’s going to happen to you.
(Prince Tohru raises a brow. He looks to Ricky who nods to him. Tohru asks for a microphone, which is handed off to him, and he responds.)
Prince Tohru: Well, Michael, it wouldn’t be of interest for me to deny all that you have done. You’ve had an impressive start to your career, being able to maintain all of the hype you have accumulated. At the same time though, even a man such as yourself can be on borrowed time, and your own dreams of everlasting dominance won’t continue for much longer. It will be but a memory for you, all while KAI-ZEN and I take center stage and hold up our gold. And yes, I did say ‘our’, because I have all the intentions in the world of beating you at King of Elite.
(Michael snickers.)
Michael Machina: Is that right?
Prine Tohru: Absolutely. KAI-ZEN has already had to deal with all sorts of reworks and gathering our bearings, and at this point, failure is not in our line of sight. It is not within the realm of possibility for us. We’ve had our own setbacks, and we have grown to be more dangerous because of them.
(That perks Michael up as he blinks a few times.)
Michael Machina: Dangerous? Well, that’s a mighty dangerous assumption that comes along with it. Are you trying to say you pose a danger to me?
(Prince Tohru smirks.)
Prince Tohru: You can see it as such.
(Ricky steps up, having a microphone of his own.)
Ricky: And you should see it as such, Michael. You may be dominant in your own right, but so has KAI-ZEN. So has Prince Tohru. We may have had setbacks of our own, from House of Glass to Shinzo losing in the finals of the Cash in the Vault tournament, but we are on the cusp of getting all of the gold now. And with how determined and focused everyone is, they will be doing everything they can to ensure that becomes a reality – even if it means beating you.
Michael Machina: Really? I doubt it. You guys ultimately haven’t been able to prove yourself against some of the top names in this promotion, yet I’m supposed to believe that King of Elite will be it for me as the New Breed Champion?
Ricky: You should, especially with the big target that is on your back, Michael.
(That’s when Shinzo and Mig De Decker step closer. Michael’s guard heightens. He eyes the men down, clenching his fists.)
Stew-O: Oh boy…
Jake Mercer: I guess it was only inevitable that it would come down to this. :lupe:
(Michael braces himself.)
(However, KAI-ZEN doesn’t attack.)
Crowd: :oh:
(Ricky grins.)
Ricky: You best not underestimate what Tohru, let alone what KAI-ZEN as a whole, can do to you. It won’t end in your favor, champ.
(Ricky chuckles as he begins to walk away.)
Ricky: But then again, this was never in your favor, anyways.
(The rest of the KAI-ZEN members make their move, leaving the ring. Michael scoffs.)
Michael Machina: If that was supposed to scare me, then that was pathetic. You were better off laying me out, you know. I don’t take too kindly to people making threats.
(Prince Tohru pauses. Then, he turns his head towards Michael.)
Prince Tohru: Be careful what you wish for, Michael. You may not like what is bound to happen to you. Our ‘threats’ won’t merely be that.
(They all head on up the ramp. Michael remains in the ring, glaring on as he watches.)
Flannery McCoy: KAI-ZEN has another target in mind, and that seems be Michael Machina. This may not be good.
(The camera zooms in on Michael’s face and his championship before Friday Night Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(An advertisement plays for King of Elite, with Michael Machina defending the New Breed Championship against Prince Tohru.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back in as Stephie Love is seen standing at the center of the ring with a microphone in hand.)
Stephie Love: The following non-title bout is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Mo Money (Metal Remix)’ by Ben McLusky begins to play through the speakers as the Interwire Champion Ronan Malosi is seen making his way out to the stage accompanied by Albert Hitchman. Ronan takes his title and raises it into the air with a confident grin on his face before making his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, accompanied by Albert Hitchman… residing in The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 250 pounds… he is the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno is then heard playing through the speakers as MITSU is seen making his way out. He has a big smirk on his face as he spreads his arms out and poses at the center of the stage. He eyes his opponent inside of the ring before then beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Sōka, Saitama, Japan… weighing in at 187 pounds… ‘THE GOLDEN DOYEN’… MITSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung and this match is officially underway! The Interwire Champion Ronan Malosi is in action as he’s across the ring from some tough competition in the form of MITSU! Both of them are making their way out of their corners, not wasting any time engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up to start this one off! They’re jockeying for position, with MITSU holding his ground but Ronan ultimately manages to overpower him, as he pushes him toward the ropes and is quick to assert his dominance in this match by bringing the referee in and having him force a rope break between the two. Clean break-
(SLAP!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT RONAN SLAPS MITSU HARD AGAINST THE FACE AS HE STEPS BACK! That definitely did not calm MITSU down whatsoever, AS HE’S QUICK TO SHOVE PAST THE REFEREE AND ATTACK THE CHAMPION WITH PUNCHES TO THE FACE! Ronan is taken off guard and left to defend for himself, as he brings his forearms up and tries to block the shots being directed toward him right now, but MITSU has taken him too off guard for him to recover! He then proceeds to grab Ronan by the waist and sends him to the ropes with an Irish whip… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! RONAN DROPS DOWN AND HE ROLLS HIMSELF RIGHT OUT OF THE RING AND OUT OF HARM’S WAY!
(Ronan paces around the ringside area, quickly regrouping with Albert Hitchman as the two of them go over what they’re going to have to do next if they want to get out of this situation. MITSU is frustrated that this is already happening this early into the match.)
Jake Mercer: Masterful thinking by The Kaiser as he gets himself out of that tough spot and strategically plans his next move! But MITSU is right out of the ring as he charges toward an unsuspecting Ronan, AND LOOK AT THE BRAVERY! HE SHOVES ALBERT OUT OF HARM’S WAY AND TAKES THE FULL BRUNT OF MITSU’S ATTACK!
Stew-O: I think he was actually trying to use Albert as a shield actually. :roman:
Jake Mercer: SHUSH! I CALL IT AS I SEE IT! MITSU is right back on the attack and I have to give him credit for how he is holding his own against an opponent like Ronan Malosi! MITSU is continuing to lay into him, BUT RONAN FINALLY STOPS THE ATTACK WITH A HARD KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! The referee is about to start the count on the outside but Ronan is quick to roll MITSU back into the ring and continue his assault there. MITSU is beginning to rise back up, and he knows the trouble that he’s in right now and what he’s going to have to do in order to get out of it… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, RONAN SLIDES INTO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Ronan was quick to turn the tables and now he’s going to start picking his opponent apart, as he brings MITSU back up to his feet, before sending him into the corner with force! MITSU is backed up, and he doesn’t have much time to refocus as Ronan is on the attack with brutal punches to the head and abdomen! The Interwire Champion is taking the opportunity while he has it to continue to wear down MITSU and if he lets this go on any longer this is not at all going to end up going well. MITSU is beginning to gain some ground but Ronan is quick to shut him down as he grabs a hold of him… BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A BIEL THROW!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU takes a hard tumble down to the ground, trying his best to get back up to his feet, BUT RONAN RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE! MITSU slides down to a seated position, and Ronan is not wasting any time using this as an opportunity to drop down and cinch in a chin lock, trying to slow down the pace and keep MITSU on the ground. MITSU is clearly struggling right now and Ronan wants to make sure that for the time being it stays that way. But it’s way too early in the match to keep him down for long because even after all the damage that he’s been through so far, he finds himself slowly beginning to rise up to a vertical base!
Jake Mercer: My Kaiser is beginning to struggle now and that is not a good sign, knowing him he’ll be able to get out of it of course, but right now specifically I can say that it’s not looking very good. MITSU is back up to his feet as he shifts his body and begins to drive his fist repeatedly into the abdomen of Ronan! Ronan is trying his best to keep a hold of him, dropping all of his weight down in order to keep him grounded on the canvas, but the strikes are becoming too much as Ronan is forced to release the hold! He steps back but runs toward MITSU as he recovers… JUST FOR MITSU TO DUCK UNDER THAT AND SPIN AROUND AS HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE ELBOW SMASH ACROSS THE FACE TO DROP RONAN DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION!
Stew-O: Ronan is struggling to recover and MITSU is using this as an opportunity to get his own offense in, grabbing a hold of him by the head and beginning to unload on him with a barrage of forearm strikes to the face! Ronan is beginning to feel overwhelmed now and this is not the place that he’s going to want to be in at all and MITSU knows it. He grabs him and brings him upward onto his feet, BEFORE LOOKING TO SET HIM UP WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX ATTEMPT- But before he does it’s Ronan who manages to connect with repeated elbow shots to the side of the head in order to get him to get go! MITSU staggers back as Ronan rushes forward… but before he can MITSU manages to sidestep that and send him into the ropes instead…
Flannery McCoy: JUST FOR MITSU TO GRAB HIM BY THE LEG AND LIFT HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A MASSIVE FLAPJACK! RONAN IS TAKEN DOWN AND MITSU ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTT-
Jake Mercer: BUT RONAN SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! He knew that it was a close call right there. But MITSU also knows that he’s on the right track and that he’s going to have to keep this up if he wants to come out on top in this matchup. He is slowly beginning to rise back up to his feet, grabbing Ronan by the head and bringing him up as well. It looks like he’s going to get right into the action, but before he can Ronan is quick to get back on the attack as he sends strikes toward his head! This takes MITSU off guard momentarily as he is pushed against the ropes before Ronan grabs him by the arm and sends him to the opposite side of the ring… JUST FOR MITSU TO RUSH FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD- BUT RONAN DUCKS UNDER AND TURNS AROUND- BUT MITSU IS QUICK ON HIS FEET AS HE SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A NORTHERN LARIAT BEFORE HE CAN RESPOND!
Stew-O: Ronan is dropped down to the ground, AND MITSU DOES NOT WASTE ANY TIME GRABBING HIM FROM AROUND THE WAIST, HE WANTS TO SET HIM UP TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OFF WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX-
Flannery McCoy: BUT RONAN CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE HEAD TO BREAK FREE! Ronan turns around, SWINGING A PUNCH TO THE HEAD-
Jake Mercer: BUT MITSU DUCKS UNDER AND SETS HIM UP FOR A ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’ ATTEMPT OUT OF NOWHERE TOWARD RONAN!
Stew-O: BUT RONAN GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT AND LIFTS HIM INTO A ‘VERTIGO’! DEEP SIX TO MITSU CONNECTS-
Flannery McCoy: NOT! RONAN LIFTS HIM UP BUT BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT WITH THE MOVE IT’S MITSU THAT NAILS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! Ronan is forced to drop him down on the ground before that can connect, BEFORE MITSU LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND CONNECTS WITH A HURRICANRANA TO TAKE THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION DOWN TO THE GROUND! Ronan laids hard but manages to pull himself up to his feet, but MITSU has him scouted as he rushes forward… CONNECTING WITH A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST-
Jake Mercer: BUT RONAN MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF MITSU’S ANKLE BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT AND PULL THE RUG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM! RONAN IS TRYING TO TURN HIM AROUND AND POSSIBLY LOCK IN A BOSTON CRAB SUBMISSION TO WEAKEN MITSU EVEN MORE- BUT MITSU MANAGES TO GET ONE OF HIS LEGS FREE AND BOOT RONAN HARD IN THE FACE! Ronan staggers back but manages to hold his ground as MITSU rushes forward, JUST FOR RONAN TO GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD AND KNEE HIM HARD IN THE ABDOMEN! Ronan then grabs a hold of him and sends him into one of the corners, TURNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE- BUT MITSU MANAGES TO SAVE HIMSELF BY CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW WHILE HE’S APPROACHING TO STOP IT!
Stew-O: MITSU manages to calm the storm just for a moment before it ends up costing him, and he does not waste any time grabbing him by the head and switching both of them around so Ronan’s the one in the corner! Ronan tries to respond, BUT MITSU IS QUICK TO ATTACK, NAILING A BRUTAL FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE! This rocks him as MITSU then grabs him by the arm and sends him to the opposite corner with an Irish whip attempt. MITSU then turns on his heels and does not waste any time rushing forward… CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF RONAN- NO! RONAN MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! MITSU collides with the corner as he turns around…
Flannery McCoy: RONAN LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE FACE OF MITSU! It connects flush against the face of MITSU, but despite that he manages to keep himself up as he staggers toward the ring, THROWING A CLOTHESLINE TOWARD THE HEAD OF RONAN- RONAN DUCKS! Ronan then uses the momentum to run to the ropes and back as MITSU turns around…
Jake Mercer: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! SPEAR TO MITSU COMPLETELY TAKES HIM OUT AND RONAN DOES NOT WASTE ANY TIME USING THAT TRIBUTE TO THE KAISER ANDRE WALKER TO ITS FULL EXTENT BY GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: NO! MITSU SHOOTS HIS SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! He’s not going down that easily and he’s going to make sure that one way or another he’s the one that comes out with the victory here tonight. Ronan does not at all look happy that this is happening right now and is quickly back up to his feet as he stomps down on him repeatedly, over and over again. He’s intent on making a statement at his expense and I could only imagine the lengths that he’s going to be willing to go to in order to get there!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan now has him by the head as he drags him back up, BEFORE GRABBING A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFTING HIM INTO A HUGE SUPLEX- But before that can connect it’s MITSU that manages to slip behind him and land on his feet! Ronan turns around, just for MITSU to connect with a hard uppercut to the jaw that leaves him rocked! Ronan is trying to fight back, but before he can it’s MITSU that connects with yet another uppercut! MITSU then turns around and runs to the ropes… BUT AS HE REBOUNDS RONAN RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD KNEE STRIKE TO THE ABDOMEN!
Jake Mercer: MITSU doubles over as Ronan there grabs hold of his head and takes him down with a snapmare, Ronan then quick to run to the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT TO HIS CHEST WHILE MITSU IS IN A SEATED POSITION- BUT MITSU MANAGES TO AVOID IT BEFORE ROLLING RONAN UP INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREE-
Stew-O: BUT RONAN MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME! Ronan rolls up to a kneeling position, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S MITSU THAT CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE WHICH COMPLETELY TAKES RONAN DOWN TO THE GROUND! MITSU isn’t done though as he grabs a hold of him by the wrist and drags him up to his feet, pulling him in, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HUGE EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is dropped down on his head but despite that is still finding it in him to rise back up to his feet, rolling to the edge of the ring and grabbing a hold of the bottom rope as he pulls himself up. It looks like he’s trying to beat MITSU to the punch but MITSU already has his eyes on him as he looks to continue what he has in mind right now. Ronan is leaning against the ropes, AS MITSU TRIES TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE- NO! RONAN WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE TO SEND MITSU BACK!
Jake Mercer: MITSU staggers back toward the center of the ring, AND RONAN STEPS FORWARD AND TRIES TO GO FOR A RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE! BUT MITSU MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE WAIST OF RONAN, GERMAN SUPLEX TIME TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OFF!
Stew-O: BUT RONAN SWINGS BEHIND HIM- JUST FOR MITSU TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE NAILS HIM WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND THAT SPINS HIM AROUND AGAIN BEFORE HE GRABS HIM ONE MORE TIME… HEAVING HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A MASSIVE GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT MITSU STILL HAS A HOLD OF HIM!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S TIME! MITSU BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET! ON THE PRECIPICE OF GETTING ONE OF HIS BIGGEST VICTORIES AGAINST A CHAMPION! HE HAS RONAN SET UP…
Jake Mercer: AS HE GOES FOR ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’ ON RONAN MALOSI!
Stew-O: ‘DEATH-RO’!
Flannery McCoy: AS RONAN IS PULLED IN HE USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM IN HIS FAVOR AND PLANT HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH THE END OF DAYS! MITSU IS DOWN AND RONAN ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEGS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Mo Money (Metal Remix)’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as Ronan Malosi rises back up to his feet. Albert Hitchman with the Interwire Championship makes his way into the ring as he hands the title over, with him raising Ronan’s hand high into the air in victory as the Champion begins to celebrate his win this week.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: YESSIR! THE KAISER WITH A BIG WIN!
Stew-O: MITSU put up a fight, he knew how much this victory would mean to him and what that would mean for his future. But unfortunately, that just was not enough as Ronan would find himself digging deep and coming out on top.
Flannery McCoy: And I’m sure Shinzo Sasaki along with the rest of KAI-ZEN are watching this very closely, feeling out who they’re going to be up against come King of Elite. It’s safe to say that the Champion is not going down without a fight. Congratulations to Ronan!
(Ronan slings his title over his shoulder, crouching down and looking at a hurt MITSU splayed out on the ground.)
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) HAPPY RETIREMENT BUDDY!
(Ronan then gets up and raises his title in the air next to Albert as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade out from there.)
(Outside, the camera captures a shot of the Movistar Arena. Then, it transitions over to the parking lot area, where a black truck pulls up. The roar of the engine fades as the vehicle is parked near the back entrance. Two figures step out, revealing themselves to be Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro! Mia winces a bit, still feeling the echoes of the pain from the attack last week. A concerned look quickly colors Donovan’s face.)
Donovan Duke: Are you alright?
(Mia gives a nod.)
Mia Santoro: Yeah. Please, don’t fret. I can handle myself.
(However, Donovan couldn’t help but frown. The anger that had been brewing within him all week long seemed to intensify at the sight of Mia’s lingering pain. Despite her reassurance, Donovan couldn’t shake the protective instinct that fueled his concern.)
Donovan Duke: This shouldn’t have happened to you. I can’t believe they went after you like that.
(Mia offers a faint smile, appreciating Donovan’s concern but also sensing the anger simmering beneath the surface.)
Mia Santoro: Donovan, we knew this was going to get personal. It’s part of the game. We just need to stay focused on finding them.
(She got close to him, offering a comforting touch on the shoulder. Donovan sighed. He knew how Sienna and especially Kassidy could get. Still, their antics have gone on for too long, and he wasn’t going to tolerate it for much longer. Just thinking about Voltage and how they easily duped him frustrated the usually calm Oklahoma Gentleman to no end. Did things have to go this far, he thought. He looks into Mia’s eyes, appreciating her own strength in spite of everything. Still, the frustration and anger within him continued to smolder.)
Donovan Duke: I know, Mia. But seeing you like this… it’s not right. They crossed a line.
(Mia nods, understanding the gravity of the situation. Donovan takes a deep breath, attempting to quell the rising storm of emotions within him.)
Donovan Duke: It’s just… it shouldn’t have come to this. I can’t believe they’d go so far.
Mia Santoro: Well, those women were never the type to play nice. We stepped on their toes, and now they’re doing everything they can to retaliate in the only way they know how to. However, they aren’t going to get away with this.
Donovan Duke: It’s just hard to believe how personal this has become. Voltage… their mind games. I let my guard down, and now we’re dealing with all of this.
Mia Santoro: We are, but we can rise above this. We will rise above this. Sienna and Kassidy are going to regret what they’ve done, and we’re going to make sure they learn a valuable lesson.
(Mia squeezes Donovan’s hand, offering silent support. Donovan nods.)
Donovan Duke: You’re right. We will.
Mia Santoro: That’s the spirit. Now, how about we pay those two a long-overdue visit, hm?
(Donovan takes another deep breath, steadying himself for the impending confrontation. The couple, fueled by a shared determination, make their way inside through the back entrance and into the backstage area with a renewed sense of purpose.)
Donovan Duke: Let’s go show them that they picked the wrong fight.
(Their keen gazes look all around, trying to find the two familiar women. They move through to the catering area, where some of the ring crew were eating dinner.)
Donovan Duke: Has anyone seen Sienna and Kassidy?
(The crew look a bit surprised before exchanging looks with one another.)
Crew Member: No, I haven’t. Sorry.
(Donovan sighs, frustration evident on his face, but he quickly regains focus.)
Donovan Duke: Thanks anyway. Let’s keep looking.
Mia Santoro: Mhm.
(The frustration lingers, but Donovan and Mia press on with determination. They continue their search through the backstage area, determined to find Sienna and Kassidy. As they navigate the corridors, the anticipation of the impending confrontation hangs in the air.)
(Mia nods, her resolve matching Donovan’s. The couple moves through the backstage maze, their steps purposeful. As they turn another corner, the distant sounds of laughter catch their attention. They follow the echoes, leading them to two women chatting it up. One blonde, one brunette.)
Donovan Duke: There they are.
(Donovan storms on ahead, shouting at them.)
Donovan Duke: Hey! Enough is enough! You two aren’t going to get away with th–
???: Wait, what?
???: Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, what is your problem?
(Donovan froze in his steps.)
Donovan Duke: Oh, crap.
(They weren’t Sienna and Kassidy. One was a stagehand, while the other one was a part of the production team. The two women frown, and Donovan quickly became sheepish.)
Donovan Duke: I… I’m sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Stage Hand: Well, with manners like that, I wouldn’t wanna be meeting up with you. Seriously, take a chill pill.
Donovan Duke: Right. It’s just–
(As Donovan tries to find words to rectify the situation, Mia steps forward, offering an apologetic smile.)
Mia Santoro: Our mistake. We’re looking for Sienna and Kassidy, and we thought…
Producer: Sienna and Kassidy? Haven’t seen them around now that I think about it, and Sienna’s match is coming up. You might want to check the other side.
Donovan Duke: Yeah, sorry again. Thanks for the heads up.
(The two women walk off, but not before casting a nasty glare up and down at Donovan. Mia shakes her head.)
Mia Santoro: These women sure are elusive. But let’s keep going. They said they may be on the other side.
(And so, they walk, looking everywhere. However, they weren’t getting any closer. Bathrooms, lockerrooms, interview areas, it was all a confusing mess that wasn’t going to bring Mia and Donovan any closer to the Jaded Hearts. They asked all around, but no one gave them a definitive answer. Before long, something in Donovan snapped.)
Donovan Duke: Where in the hell are they? Where are they hiding?!
(In a burst of rage, he swipes items off a nearby table, the clattering and harsh crash echoing all throughout. Mia quickly steps in, getting in front of him and placing her hands on his arms.)
Mia Santoro: Donovan, calm down. This is exactly what they want – to mess with our heads. They want us to be thrown off like this.
(Mia’s intervention brings a momentary pause. Donovan closes his eyes, doing his damndest to regain his composure.)
Mia Santoro: There you go. Just like that.
Donovan Duke: … I’m sorry, Mia. I truly am. For all of this. It’s just that–
Mia Santoro: You don’t have to explain yourself. Trust me, I’m just as upset as you are. However, these women are doing everything they can to stack the odds against us and we can’t let them get what they want. If you get angry, you’re letting them throw you off of your game.
(Mia rubs his arms.)
Mia Santoro: Besides, all of that frustration is better suited for the ring when we beat them for those titles.
(Mia’s words resonate with Donovan, and he opens his eyes, the storm within him slowly subsiding.)
Donovan Duke: You’re right. Absolutely. I’m playing right into their hand, and I can’t allow that.
(Donovan steps ahead, with Mia following closely next to him.)
Donovan Duke: But where could they be?
(They look around some more before they hear a door swinging open. They look up ahead, and see Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart entering what seemed to be a private locker room just for themselves.)
Mia Santoro: Bingo.
(The two charge up ahead, anticipation fueling their steps as they approach the private locker room. The distant echoes of their footsteps alert Sienna and Kassidy to their presence. The Jaded Hearts turn, wearing smirks that only intensify Donovan’s frustration.)
Kassidy Heart: Well, look who’s shown up.
(Her teasing glance shifts over to Mia.)
Kassidy Heart: Back for seconds?
Mia Santoro: Very funny.
Donovan Duke: You can’t keep hiding from us. We’re done playing your games.
Sienna Jade: Us? Hiding? Please. :mjlol: Why would we, the greatest tag team of all time, need to hide from the likes of you? If anything, the two of you losers need to hide because all that awaits you at King of Elite are disappointment and embarrassment.
Mia Santoro: Is that so? Huh. I think those are reserved strictly for you two.
Kassidy Heart: I don’t know about that. We already embarrassed you two and showed just how inept you truly are if we were able to easily catch you off guard last Sunday.
(Kassidy then shifts her glance towards Donovan.)
Kassidy Heart: And you certainly should’ve known better. However, you’re still so gullible and naive. You were never in my league even with that National Elite title reign, and you still aren’t. Accolades wise, that’s easy to piece together, but outside of that? Mentally? You are way below me, Donovan. You’re below us. You are so weak that it’s not even funny.
(Sienna and Kassidy look at each other.)
Kassidy Heart: Actually, scratch that. It IS funny!
(The two women laugh. Donovan grits his teeth. The tension in the room escalates as Sienna and Kassidy continue their taunts. Mia, however, remains composed, ready to fire back.)
Mia Santoro: Your arrogance is astounding. If you think embarrassing us once means anything, you’re in for a rude awakening.
(Kassidy’s words aimed at Donovan hit a nerve, and he clenches his fists, determined not to let the Jaded Hearts get under his skin.)
Donovan Duke: Save your laughs. You may have caught me off guard once, but it won’t happen again.
Sienna Jade: Oh? Is that so, Donny boy? Because we did it once before, and we can do it all over again.
Donovan Duke: Oh, yeah? You wanna test that out right now?
Sienna Jade: Gladly.
(Donovan and Mia step forward–)
???: Uh-huh! Hell no! What do you two think you’re doing up in here causing all of this mess?!
(Donovan and Mia’s heads whip around, seeing security and Diamond Dixon approaching.)
Mia Santoro: We–
Diamond Dixon: Nah, save it! I don’t care what happened or who did what, cause what you’re not finna do is come on this show and cause all of this commotion! I was just trying to listen to Pink Friday 2 in peace and then I hear all sorts of yelling and things being thrown, even having some of the Dynasty crew here say that the two of you have been disturbing them. Voltage might be crazy, but we don’t do crazy over here.
Donovan Duke: Right, and we’re sorry, it’s–
(Diamond throws her hand up at Donovan’s face.)
Diamond Dixon: I. Don’t. Want. To. Hear. It.
(Donovan and Mia exchange a glance, realizing the severity of the situation. Diamond Dixon’s no-nonsense attitude leaves no room for excuses. Security stands firm, reinforcing her message.)
Diamond Dixon: Now, I suggest you two get to stepping and get on outta here. We’ve got a show to run, and I won’t tolerate any more disruptions.
(Neither of them could protest. Donovan and Mia start to walk as security escorts them out of the arena. All the while, Sienna and Kassidy watch, doing their best not to burst out laughing. Mia and Donovan see them, but they’re both pushed by the guards. Ultimately, they leave completely. Diamond shakes her head and goes back to the office.)
(Looking at one another, Kassidy and Sienna snicker.)
Kassidy Heart: They just keep doing it to themselves. At this rate, we have them around our fingers.
Sienna Jade: Totally! They aren’t going to last against us.
Kassidy Heart: And neither will Cy against you.
Sienna Jade: Of couse. Here’s to the Jaded Hearts winning some more.
(The two grin then head on out, making their way to the gorilla position where the next match is about to happen.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The lights begin to flash as ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nutz begins to blast all throughout the arena. A few moments pass as Sienna Jade emerges as she poses for the camera. Sienna then turns around and shows off her leather jacket with the letters, “UNFUCKWITHABLE” attached. She turns and begins to stride down the ramp with Kassidy right behind her, towards the ring. Once in the ring, Sienna goes to the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Calgary Alberta, Canada… Weighing in at 135 lbs… SHE IS THE ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… Unfuckwithable… SIENNAAAA JAAAAAAAADDDEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Her music is quickly replaced by “Tupac Back” by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross as Cy Henderson enters the arena to cheers from the crowd as he immediately heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her opponent! From New York City! Weighing in at 240 pounds! Here is “JUSTICE SEEKER” CY HENDERSON!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: The bell has rung and the match is underway! These two are as competitive as it comes, we could be witnessing a war here on Dynasty! Both of them circled the ring, eyeing each other up and down. Cy was the first to close the distance– BUT SIENNA KICKS HIM IN THE LEG! Stopping any further offense to be applied. Cy is going to have to deal with the quickness of Sienna if he wants to have any chance of winning this match. Reaching out once again trying to close the distance- BUT ONCE AGAIN GETTING KICKED IN THE LEG! Henderson needs to watch himself seriously. Doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity! Cy gets closer again but YET AGAIN! Sienna is kicking that leg! OVER and OVER!
Jake Mercer: Sienna runs to the ropes! Charging back- RIGHT INTO A SHOULDER TACKLE! Knocking her hard to the ground! Going for a quick cover!
ONE!
…
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT BY SIENNA! This is a classic speed vs. strength matchup! Cy has all the strength in the world, but if he ain’t able to catch up to Jade’s offense and defense. Then he could fumble this match for himself. Like right now! Kicking him right in the calf! Cy lifting Sienna– BUT SIENNA GETS UP ON THE SHOULDERS OF SIENNA! BALANCING ACT! ROLLING THROUGH! FLIPPING HIM DOWN WITH A PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Stew-O: Kick out by Cy right into an immediate HEADLOCK! Trying to keep Henderson at bay, but with the power that man possesses it’s only a matter of time before he breaks free! Like now! Henderson breaks the headlock and shoves her to the ropes! Bouncing back- AND SLIDING BETWEEN THE LEGS! She gets back at him with another headlock! Trying to wrench in the hold tighter! BUT CY LIFTED HER- SIENNA AGILITY KICKING IN! Flipping back to her feet and ONCE AGAIN GOING FOR THE HEADLOCK! Trying to get Cy to the ground! If she wants to maintain control of this match, that’s where he needs to be.
Flannery McCoy: EASIER SAID THAN DONE! SIENNA BEING LIFTED AND SLAMMED DOWN TO THE MAT! Cy once again going for a pinfall!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Flannery McCoy: Kickout by Sienna! Cy quickly tries to get Jade up but ONCE AGAIN CONTINUING TO KICK AT Henderson’s LEG! Jade back up to her feet, locking in another headlock on Cy! Kicks and headlocks seem like the go-to for her in this match. But that’s not everything in her arsenal! Going to the corner, walking across the corner ropes! TORNADO BULLDOG GETTING CY ON THE GROUND! Big move by Sienna, quickly trying to get into the cover!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Jake Mercer: CY GETS THE SHOULDERS UP! Sienna back to her feet looking for the kick- BUT MISSES! Cy SHOVES Sienna! GOING FLYING INTO THE CORNER! Henderson attempting to rush Sienna- BUT SIENNA QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! CY RUNNING INTO THE CORNER! Henderson rolled onto the outside floor, a great opportunity for Sienna to catch her breath and strategize her next plan of attack. By the looks of things, she already has one! Getting out on the apron- bolting towards CY WITH A METEORA OFF THE APRON! TAKING DOWN HENDERSON YET AGAIN!
Stew-O: This explosive offense by SIenna is unparalleled! Her speed and agility are overcoming any offense that comes from Henderson’s power! Sienna attempting an Irish whipping to the steel step! Cy quickly reversed it– SIENNA JUMPING TO THE TOP THE STEP! Yet again counter Cy’s offense with– OH MAN!! COMING DOWN TO MEET A CLOTHESLINE FROM HENDERSON! That impact was sickening to look at! It even made Kassidy a ringside wench. I don’t think I want to see it again! Cy grabbing Sienna and throwing her back into the ring! Covering her! The referee slides in QUICK!
ONE!
…
Flannery McCoy: STRONG KICK OUT BY SIENNA! Despite a decapitating clothesline, she is still going to do her damnest to walk out of this match the victor. But Cy isn’t going to make it easier for her! Grabbing her leg and attempting to lock in the VOID LOCK! But Sienna – with great ring awareness – hooked her arm around the bottom rope! Able to stop the hold before it could even get completed! Cy has no choice but to step away from Sienna and let her get back to her feet. Sienna gets on the apron, Cy closes in and he gets CAUGHT WITH A SHOULDER TO THE GUT! She drops to the apron and launches an attack UPWARDS TO CY’S CHIN! SENDING HIM DOWN! Sienna sees an opening! Climbing to the top rope, scoping out the scene before– LEAPING OFF THE ROPES WITH A MOONSAULT! STARSTRUCK! PERFECT MOONSAULT! HOOKING THE LEG!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEE–
Jake Mercer: KICKOUT! SO CLOSE! THAT HAND NEARLY ENDED THE MATCH! Sienna could sense it. She just needs to push further and fight harder. She’s looking at Kassidy, she is giving her a nod of approval. She might be looking for the end of this match. Picking up Cy looking for that RDG– BUT HENDERSON PICKING HER UP AND THROWING HER OVER HIS SHOULDER! See how momentum can quickly be flipped on its head. Sienna stumbles back up– INTO A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO TAKE SIENNA JADE’S HEAD OFF HER SHOULDERS! Cy is back in control and now HE has the same look in his eye as Sienna did. He wants to end this!
Stew-O: You’re right and he has just the move to do it! Cy Henderson lifts her on his shoulders looking for the dangerous RISING TIDE- SIENNA MANAGING TO WIGGLE OUT! Landing on her feet! CATCHING CY WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! CY IS WOBBLING! HE’S STAGGERED! Sienna grabbed Cy and NAILING HIM WITH A DDT! HENDERSON IS DOWN AND NOW SIENNA HAS THE OPENING SHE NEEDS! Getting on the apron, her eyes locked on Cy waiting for him to get up– wait. Do you see that?
Flannery McCoy: See what- OH LOOK! IT’S DONOVAN AND MIA RUNNING FROM SECURITY IN THE BACK ROW!
Jake Mercer: WHAT ARE THEY DOING?! THEY ARE DISTRACTING SIENNA! This commotion needs to be taken care of!
Stew-O: Well security is trying their best to catch those two but they are pretty quick, but Sienna needs to take her focus off of them and back on- CY HENDERSON! Grabbing Sienna Jade off the apron! INTO THE REVERSE FIREMAN CARRY AND DOWN WITH A RISING TIDE! THE DISTRACTION GAVE HENDERSON THE OPPORTUNITY HE NEEDED! HOOKING THE LEG!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here your winner…THE “JUSTICE SEEKER” CYYYYYYY HENDERSON!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson getting the victory, what a back-and-forth match-up! Sienna had Henderson’s number but an unexpected commotion from Donovan and Mia cost her!
Jake Mercer: Always keep an eye on your opponent! Always keep an eye on your opponent or these things happen! She was so close to victory! SO CLOSE!
Stew-O: Still, a fantastic match regardless, amazing job from both of them.
(As Cy Henderson celebrates his victory, Sienna is at ringside grabbing the back of her head and talking to Kassidy. Both of them look frustrated and disappointed. Kassidy helps Sienna out as they make their way to the back. Before the shot could fade away following the match, though, the fans started booing as EAW’s cameramen panned up towards the stage. There, Drake Armstrong walked out with a microphone in hand as he glared down the ramp towards the squared circle, where Cy noticed where the fans’ attention had gone.)
Drake Armstrong: Bravo, Cyclone, bravo for a wonderful performance! I hope you’re proud of yourself. You know, it’s funny, I could be fighting in the semi-finals on this very night, ready to lead Dynasty to glorious victory at King of Elite! But no, we have a FRAUD in one corner of the semi-finals, and that is ON YOU! I had that blithering dimwit hanging upside down, defenseless and helpless, ready to be driven into the mat and pinned for the three count; it was all well and good until YOU showed your decrepit face uninvited! What do you think this is, righteous justice for what transpired last week or at Noche de Violencia?! This was a match with CONSEQUENCES; you’ve practically doomed Dynasty to failure by removing me from the tournament!
(The fans continue to boo and hurl jeers at the Future while Cy glares across the ramp at Drake, who begins walking towards the ring as he speaks.)
Drake Armstrong: A sin against any other is just that… a sin. But a sin against the Future is an indictment to the depths of hell. I could be saving Dynasty from failure at this very moment, I could be working towards seizing the king’s crown! But alas, here I am, putting this false knight in his place. You act like a hero to the people, Cy, but what’s so heroic about the stunt you pulled? That was nothing but spitefulness on display; I have done similar, but unlike you, I don’t hide behind the implied veneer of honor!
Cy Henderson (off mic): If you’re that mad at me screwing you out of King of Elite, why don’t you get in this ring and do something about it?
(Drake begins to speak again, but ultimately throws the microphone to the side and charges into the ring; the moment he gets to his feet, he and Cy immediately begin lobbing strikes back and forth!)
Jake Mercer: After such a high-level match, we have yet another fight breaking out here between the Future and the Justice Seeker! I don’t know about you all, but I ALWAYS bet on the Future! Look at him go, look at those heavy-handed punches fly!
Stew-O: But Cy is fighting back just as much! Both of them are absolutely laying into each other, this is an all-out brawl! It looks like Cy is starting to get the upper hand with a few extra strikes flying for each of Drake’s; the Future is left dazed and staggering back! Cy winds his hand back and goes for the dreaded Cyclone Lariat!
Jake Mercer: BUT THE FUTURE DUCKS! AS EXPECTED OF MY GLORIOUS DRAKE ARMSTRONG! IT WAS A RUSE! Before Cy can even turn around, Drake NAILS him in the back of the neck with a punch- OH, AND HE SLIPPED ON THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY RING FOR IT, TOO! CY GOES DOWN, ABSOLUTELY FLATTENED!
Flannery McCoy: That’s just despicable! Drake’s snapped, he’s whaling on Cy with a flurry of punches; oh, what’s he doing now?! Cy is being dragged up by the hair-
Jake Mercer: THAT’S MY FUTURE RIGHT THERE! THE RIGHTFUL KING! HE’S LOCKED CY IN AN ABDOMINAL STRETCH, AND HE’S PREPARING THAT HAND OF HIS FOR THE ABDOMINAL CLAW! HE GETS IT, HE’S GOT CY IN THE BOURGEOIS BITE! HIS HAND IS CLENCHING DOWN ON THE EXPOSED AND STRETCHED ABDOMINAL AREA, ALMOST LOOKING LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO TEAR INTO HIS RIBS! Oh, for God’s sake, here comes the security! GET OUT OF THERE!
Stew-O: Dynasty’s security team comes out and pulls Drake off of Cy before too much damage can be done! Cy falls to a knee, clutching at his gut in pain as he tries to recuperate from the sudden ambush; meanwhile, Drake is still yelling as he’s being dragged away!
Drake Armstrong (off mic): YOUR TIME IS UP, CYCLONE! COUNT THE DAYS! COUNT THE DAYS BEFORE I KNOCK YOU OUT COLD! I’M GOING TO BEAT YOU SENSELESS!
(The video feed ends with a view of the chaos and Drake yelling across the ramp at Cy; the screen slowly fades to commercials after such a chaotic scene.)
(An advertisement plays for King of Elite, with Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro challenging the Jaded Hearts for the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is standing with a microphone ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: This next contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Invincible” by Pop Smoke starts to play as Chris Elite enters the arena. He doesn’t look entirely pleased with the situation of this match, but he heads right to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making his way to the ring. From Brooklyn, New York. Weighing in at 210 pounds. Here is GAWD! GIVEN! GREATNESS! CHRIS EEEEEEEEEELITE!
Stew-O: Here comes Chris Elite and he is not in a good mood after what happened last week in his match with Milli Banks.
Jake Mercer: Baldy should just be grateful that he has this golden opportunity coming his way. I feel worse for his tag team partner for having to tag with him.
(Elite enters the ring and takes his corner as “Faneto” by Chief Keef now starts playing as SOSA Henderson enters the arena wearing his sunglasses, gloves, and leather jacket as he heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his tag team partner! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Weighing in at 191 pounds. Here is “BULLETPROOF” SOSA HENDERSON!
Flannery McCoy: Here comes SOSA Henderson heading to the ring and to be honest, it was because of SOSA that Chris Elite lost to Milli Banks last week.
Stew-O: Could SOSA be trying to get in Chris Elite’s head going into King of Elite? Whether they like it or not, they are tag team partners. Will they be able to work together long enough to win this match against their opposition?
(SOSA enters the ring and shoots a look at Elite as he takes the corner and ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne plays. Blue and gold lights flash along with the beat of the tune. After much anticipation, the song enters the first verse by Nicki Minaj, and with her spitting comes the emergence of Milli Banks. With a smile as wide as her ambitions, she bops along to her theme and raps along to the lyrics. She does a little dance before posing before the masses.)
Stephie Love: Introducing their opponents! First, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in tonight at 135 pounds… She is ‘The Supernova’, MIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSS!
Flannery McCoy: Here comes the opposition starting off with Milli Banks. If you ask me, Milli right now has the most momentum going into this match. First, she beat her tag team partner at Road to Redemption.
Jake Mercer: Not only that, she defeated that bald loser Chris Elite last week. That was so great that we might be able to see it happen two weeks in a row.
(Milli high-fives some of the fans before making her way up the steel steps and onto the ring apron. She takes hold of the top rope and jumps over it, rolling toward the middle of the ring. The theatrics get the crowd pumping, and she struts off toward her corner. Milli warms up, bouncing back and forth lightly as ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts playing as Ms. Extreme enters the arena and is not wasting any time as she heads right to the ring. )
Stephie Love: Introducing her tag team partner! From Calabasas, California! Weighing 140 pounds! Here is “THE PROBLEM CHILD” MS. EXXXXXXXTREEEEEEME!
Flannery McCoy: Here comes Ms. Extreme and she is coming to the ring with a purpose and that is to get some momentum towards King of Elite. In order to do that, she will have to team with the lady who beat her at Road to Redemption.
Stew-O: Four combustible elements in this match. The question is will these teams be able to coexist tonight? Well… we’re about to find out.
(Camille enters the ring and glares at Milli as her entrance music fades off. The referee checks all four competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Tag team attraction underway. Not a lot of fighting right now, but we see that Chris Elite and Milli Banks are starting off the matches for their respective teams.
Jake Mercer: Baldy and Banks going at it once again. I hope it ends the same way for Elite as it did last week.
Flannery McCoy: Elite and Milli lock up in the center of the ring and it’s Chris Elite who JUST SHOVES MILLI DOWN TO THE MAT! MILLI DIDN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT!
Stew-O: Fun fact is that the only person in this match that hasn’t been a World Champion is Milli Banks. Milli is back to her feet and she gets right in Elite’s face.
Flannery McCoy: Milli goes for a forearm, BUT ELITE BLOCKS IT! Elite is able to counter with a forearm of his own and that starts to stagger Milli back.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Milli. Don’t let that bald weirdo get any offense against you. I wanna see him lose. COME ON MILLI!
Stew-O: No biased commentary from Jake Mercer in this match, but Elite is rocking the former Specialists Champion and backing her to the ropes.
Jake Mercer: I don’t consider myself being biased, but Milli is now on the ropes and Elite whips her to the other side. Milli comes back AND ELITE GOES FOR A BACK BODY DROP–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI LANDS ON HER FEET! Milli hits the ropes from the other side as Chris turns around INTO A HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM MILLI!
Stew-O: Elite was knocked down to his knees AND MILLI’S NOW FIRING KICKS RIGHT INTO ELITE’S CHEST! ONE KICK AFTER THE OTHER AND THAT COULD CRACK A RIB OR TWO IF SHE GETS LUCKY–
Jake Mercer: Of course! Elite the Bald Freak ducks a kick and tries to roll up Milli from behind, but Milli manages to roll through. They are both back to their feet AND ELITE CLOBBERS MILLI WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: Milli knocked for a loop after that shot and Elite brought her back right to her feet and whipped her into the corner. Elite follows up with ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Milli manages to stay on her feet after two straight clotheslines and Elite is climbing up to the middle rope–
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson just tagged himself into this match. I think it will be safe to say that there will not be a lot of friendly tags in this match. SOSA is in the ring right now.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Baldy. Get out of the ring. Time for someone I can tolerate to get into the match. Now SOSA is firing kicks of his own into the corner and into the midsection of Milli Banks.
Stew-O: Milli having trouble getting out of the blocks in this match as she has been neutralized almost since the bell rang. SOSA is not playing around in this match as he grabs Milli by the neck and SNAPMARES HER OUT OF THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: Milli sitting on the mat as SOSA hits the ropes before FIRING OFF A KICK TO HER FACE, BUT MILLI FALLS BACK TO AVOID THE KICK! Milli with a kip up and she backs up to the ropes.
Flannery McCoy: Milli comes back and grabs SOSA by the head and drives him down to the mat with a bulldog. Nice counter by Milli as SOSA went face first. SOSA is coming back to his feet and Milli is waiting for SOSA to get back to his feet–
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Now it’s Ms. Extreme who tags herself into the match. As Flannery said, there won’t be very many friendly tags in this match… if there will be any. Milli doesn’t look pleased that the tag happened.
Jake Mercer: Not much she can do right now as Camille goes straight for SOSA and she JUST STARTS POUNDING ON HIM WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS! SOSA IS TRYING TO BLOCK WHATEVER SHOTS HE CAN!
Flannery McCoy: But the referee is right there to force Camilly to open up those fists. She doesn’t listen, so the referee starts a count.
Stew-O: Camille opens up the fists on four and she drags SOSA back to his feet AND TRIES TO GET SOSA UP AND OVER FOR A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX, BUT SOSA CLAPS HER EARS AND CAMILLE DROPS SOSA TO HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA with a kick to the gut before he grabs Camille by the head AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! BUT HE DOESN’T LET HER GO!
Jake Mercer: SOSA brings them both back to their feet as SOSA changes position with Camille AND LIFTS HER UP AND DROPS HER NOW WITH A BACK SUPLEX! SOSA DOESN’T LET GO, BUT INSTEAD BRIDGES UP FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: CAMILLE KICKS OUT AT TWO! SOSA doesn’t waste a second by brining Ms. Extreme back to her feet and LIFTS HER IN THE AIR ONCE AGAIN! SOSA IS HOLDING MS. EXTREME UPSIDE DOWN IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: SOSA is letting the blood rush to Ms. Extreme’s head, BUT MS. EXTREME IS KICKING HER LEGS TO TRY AND CHANGE THE MOMENTUM IN HER FAVOR–
Flannery McCoy: SHE DOES! EXTREME LANDS BEHIND SOSA AND CAMILLE SHOVES SOSA TOWARDS THE ROPES! SOSA hits the ropes before coming back as CAMILLE JUMPS UP IN THE AIR–
Stew-O: AND EXTREME TAKES SOSA DOWN WITH THE FRANKENSTEINER AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOSA WAS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! GOOD GRIEF!
Jake Mercer: But SOSA is getting back to his feet as Ms. Extreme has climbed onto the second rope with her eyes targeted right on SOSA Henderson–
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS JUST TAGGED HERSELF BACK INTO THE MATCH! Extreme looks pissed as Milli runs over to another corner and climbs up to the top rope. SOSA is back to his feet–
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES SOSA DOWN WITH THE DIVING HURRICANRANA! SOSA MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPIKED ON HIS HEAD AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME MILLI HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRR—
Flannery McCoy: SOSA KICKS OUT AT TWO! What a move by Milli as she grabs SOSA and tries to bring him back to his feet, BUT SOSA WITH A JAWBREAKER STAGGERS MILLI BANKS!
Jake Mercer: SOSA is back to his feet AND MILLI RUNS IN FOR AN UPPERCUT, BUT SOSA CATCHES HER! SOSA TURNS HER AROUND BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A SPANISH FLY!!
Stew-O: Milli lands hard in the middle of the ring as SOSA Henderson takes control of the match. Chris Elite is itching to get back into this match, but SOSA is completely ignoring his tag team partner.
Jake Mercer: I really don’t blame him because if I was SOSA I would ignore Chris Elite as well. Gawd Given Greatness my ass!
Flannery McCoy: Will you stop? They need to somewhat work as a team if they wanna win this match. Right now it’s SOSA in control as he snaps Milli over with the Snapmare Takeover.
Stew-O: He hits the ropes once more to try for the move in this position once more AND THIS TIME SOSA COMES BACK AND HITS THE SINGLE LEG DROPKICK RIGHT IN MILLI’S FACE SENDING HER HEAD OVER HEELS!
Jake Mercer: SOSA walks over to Milli and grabs her by the legs to get her away from the ropes, BUT MILLI KICKS SOSA AWAY WITH AMAZING FORCE THAT SENDS SOSA BACK–
Flannery McCoy: UH OH! SOSA was kicked back right into his corner. Unfortunately for SOSA, he crashed right into Chris Elite and Elite just got knocked off the apron to the floor. That isn’t going to help their camaraderie.
Stew-O: I don’t think SOSA was even aware of what happened. Wait. Now he does and it was long enough of a distraction for Milli to come back AND HIT SOSA WITH THE MISSILE DROPKICK!
Flannery McCoy: Smart move by Milli Banks as SOSA bounced off the ropes and back into Milli Banks who gets in front of SOSA before jumping up and grabbing SOSA by the back of the neck–
Jake Mercer: DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER BY MILLI BANKS! DID YOU SEE SOSA’S FACE BOUNCE OFF HER KNEES? SOSA’s head cracks the mat hard and he is in a mess of trouble.
Stew-O: Milli is standing by the ropes waiting for SOSA to get back to his feet. Milli wants to try and end this match as quickly as possible. SOSA is finally back up–
Jake Mercer: MILLI JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND BACKFLIPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WHILE GRABBING SOSA’S HEAD! SOSA BENT BACKWARDS AND MILLI PLANTS HIM WITH “FORECLOSURE”!
Flannery McCoy: THE INVERTED DDT PLANTS DOWN SOSA HARD! MILLI QUICKLY SCRAMBLES ONTO SOSA FOR THE COVER? Will it be enough?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Stew-O: SOSA gets the shoulder up at two, but that was a very close near fall for the team of Milli and Ms. Extreme. There has been tension in this match between the teams, but it has been a pretty good match between these four.
Jake Mercer: Especially the part where Chris Elite got his ass knocked off the apron. That was the best part. Can SOSA do that again?
Flannery McCoy: Will you stop that? This hatred you have for Chris Elite is uncalled for. While I was chastising you, Milli manages to drag SOSA over to the corner and now she is climbing up to the top rope.
Stew-O: I don’t know what Milli has planned at the moment, but it’s no doubt that Milli is going to go for something big as Milli gets herself in position on the top rope. Milli finds her balance AND SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS IS LOOKING FOR THE MOONSAULT AND I THINK SHE GOT IT! BUT WAIT! SHE IS HOLDING HER RIBS IN PAIN! WHAT HAPPENED? WAS SOSA ABLE TO BLOCK IT?
Jake Mercer: Look at the replay, Flan. Right before Milli hit the moonsault, SOSA got his knees up at the very last second and that’s exactly where she landed. Milli had the wind knocked out of her with that counter. Oh great! Chris Elite is back on the apron.
Stew-O: Both Milli and SOSA are down at the moment as the referee checks both competitors before they start a count. What a shame it would be if this match ended in a double countout.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, like that would happen. It’s going to turn into a race to see which competitor will get to their corner first to get the tag. It might also depend on which person would be willing to accept the tag.
Flannery McCoy: I actually agree with you on that point, Jake. Neither team is that excited to be teaming with a fellow opponent at King of Elite. Right now the referee is continuing their count and it looks like Milli Banks might be the first to get to their corner.
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson is not that far away from Chris Elite either and Chris doesn’t look too interested to tag back into the match. Milli Banks is about a fingertip away from tagging in Ms. Extreme AND SHE IS ACTUALLY REACHING FOR THE TAG–
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: CAMILLE TAGS BACK INTO THIS MATCH AND SHE MAKES A MAD DASH TO SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA IS CLOSE TO THE CORNER AND I AM HONESTLY SURPRISED THAT BALDY IS WILLING TO TAKE THE TAG–
Flannery McCoy: CAMILLE CAUGHT HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE HE COULD MAKE THE TAG! SOSA IS HOPPING ON ONE FOOT AND IS IN THE CLUTCHES OF MS. EXTREME–
Stew-O: SOSA WAS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH AN ENZUIGIRI KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! EXTREME IS DAZED LONG ENOUGH FOR SOSA TO GET FREE AND HE HAS ONE LAST CHANCE TO GET THE TAG–
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS ELITE IS BACK IN THE MATCH AND HE IMMEDIATELY CLOBBERS MS. EXTREME WITH THE “OPP SPOTTER”! THAT BACK ELBOW CAUGHT MS. EXTREME RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: Instead of going for the cover, Elite goes onto the apron. I don’t know what’s going through that empty head of his besides the wind. But he is eyeing the still down Ms. Extreme.
Stew-O: ELITE SPRINGS UP TO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE HITTING MS. EXTREME WITH THE SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH! DIRECT HIT ON MS. EXTREME AS CHRIS ELITE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: MILLI BANKS WAS COMING INTO THE RING TO BREAK UP THE COVER, BUT BALDY DID SOMETHING SMART FOR ONCE AND HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY AND MILLI ACCIDENTLY HITS HER OWN TAG TEAM PARTNER!
Flannery McCoy: Miscue by Milli and Ms. Extreme is not going to be happy if that slip up costs them the match. But Chris Elite is behind Milli and pulls her up to her feet and turns her into the front facelock–
Stew-O: “FACE VALUE” BY CHRIS ELITE! THAT HAMMERLOCK DDT SPIKES MILLI ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD AS SHE ROLLS RIGHT OUT OF THE RING! Ms. Extreme is still down on the apron as Chris pulls Camille closer to the corner.
Jake Mercer: Are you telling me that Chris Elite is about to win this match? You have got to be kidding me! COME ON CAMILLE!
Flannery McCoy: You need to quit being so biased because Elite hates the people you enjoy. Chris Elite is on the top rope looking to fly with the Frog Splash. Camille is still down and HERE COMES CHRIS ELITE–
(TAG!)
Stew-O: What the hell? SOSA just tagged himself back into the match and Chris is not happy. Elite believes he had the match in hand, but here comes SOSA back into the ring WITH A SLINGSHOT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF MS. EXTREME!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite is getting off the top turnbuckle as SOSA waits for Ms. Extreme to get back to her feet as he climbs up to the top rope himself.
Jake Mercer: I guess SOSA is ready to end this AS HE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE “SOSA BOMB”! SWANTON BOMB ON THE WAY–
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT SOSA MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET TO PREVENT AN UGLY LANDING! SOSA turns around to go for Ms. Extreme, BUT MS. EXTREME WITH THE DROP TOE HOLD!
Jake Mercer: SOSA’s face bounces off the top turnbuckle as he stumbles back out of the corner. Camille grabs him by the head AND SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH THE SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA once again goes face first into the canvas. SOSA is down and Ms. Extreme is climbing up to the top rope and she is ready to strike. She wants to end this match and not leave anything else to chance.
Jake Mercer: She is calling for SOSA Henderson to get back to his feet. We all know that she is going for that “Glass Ceiling” maneuver made famous by her sister Cameron.
Flannery McCoy: SOSA is back up to his feet as he turns around to the corner AND MS. EXTREME COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING FOR “THE GLASS CEILING”! TOP ROPE STUNNER!
Jake Mercer: CAMILLE WAS WANTING TO FINISH THE MATCH WITH THE STUNNER, BUT SOSA MANAGES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND MS. EXTREME FINDS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: CAMILLE LANDS HARD AFTER MISSING THE STUNNER! SOSA IS CROUCHED IN THE CORNER READY TO STRIKE AS MS. EXTREME GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND SOSA LAUNCHES HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER AND SOSA HENDERSON WITH A DIRECT HIT WITH A SPEAR!
Jake Mercer: WHAT A SPEAR BY SOSA HENDERSON! THAT SPEAR TURNED CAMILLE INSIDE OUT AND THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN A FEW RIBS! CAMILLE IS QUICKLY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THAT SPEAR!
Flanery McCoy: Ms. Extreme is down and look at Chris Elite begging for the tag. He wants to get in on the attack on his opposition. SOSA decides to oblige and give Chris Elite what he wants.
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Chris Elite has been tagged in by SOSA and now both of them are in the ring right now watching Ms. Extreme trying to get back to her feet after the spear–
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: HOLY CRAP! BOX! OFFICE! SMASH! CHRIS ELITE JUST SUPERKICKED HIS OWN TAG TEAM PARTNER! SOSA FALLS TO THE MAT LIKE A STONE AND SOSA HAS GOT TO BE OUT COLD! WHAT THE HELL DID WE JUST WITNESS?
Flannery McCoy: WE WITNESSED WHAT WE WILL SEE AT KING OF ELITE! I GUESS CHRIS ELITE DIDN’T WANNA WAIT UNTIL KING OF ELITE TO GET A LITTLE REVENGE FOR LAST WEEK! NOW WE SEE CHRIS ELITE DRAG AN ALMOST LIFELESS SOSA BACK TO HIS CORNER!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: THAT UNGRATEFUL BALD BASTARD TAGS HIMSELF OUT OF THE MATCH AND HE IS DONE WITH THIS! CHRIS ELITE IS LEAVING HE IS HEADING UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP LIKE THE COWARD HE IS!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson is now the legal man in the match, but look at Camille and Milli! They are confused as hell about what just happened, but they don’t care. Camille walks over to the still down SOSA Henderson and drags him over to the corner.
Jake Mercer: We shouldn’t be surprised that Ms. Extreme is going to pick the bones thanks to Chris Elite. Ms. Extreme is now climbing up to the top rope. This is highway robbery.
Flannery McCoy: Call it whatever the hell you want, but Ms. Extreme has her balance on the top rope AND SHE JUMPS STRAIGHT DOWN–
Stew-O: INTO THE “HOLY GROUND” BY MS. EXTREME! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP LANDS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA IS NOT MOVING AFTER THAT SHOT AND MS. EXTREME QUICKLY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! IT’S ACADEMIC AT THIS POINT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“They Call Me a God” starts playing again as Ms. Extreme rolls off of SOSA and starts to get back to her feet as Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners! The team of MILLI BANKS AND MS. EXTREME!
Stew-O: What a match we just witnessed. They were at least tolerable towards each other for most of the match. It was not a matter of if, but when one of these teams were going to implode.
Jake Mercer: Are you surprised at all that it was the team of Baldy and SOSA that imploded first? I’m not because that bald crybaby is so petty that he did something like this.
(Milli has entered the ring as the referee raises the winning team’s arms in victory. Milli and Camille look at each other for a second before they leave the ring separately and head up the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: Call it what you want, Jake, but I call it a case of “turnabout is fair play”. Last week, SOSA cost Elite a match. This week, Elite cost SOSA a match even at the detriment to himself.
Jake Mercer: Because he’s a petty little bitch.
Stew-O: I think it was to try to get inside SOSA’s head in the hopes of trying to throw him off his game enough until King of Elite. But you gotta give credit to the ladies of the match. Milli and Camille don’t care for each other, but they held it together long enough to win this match.
(SOSA is sitting up now in the ring looking angry about what happened before cutting to Chris Elite, who is standing at the top of the entrance ramp amused at SOSA’s pain.)
Flannery McCoy: All I know is that this fatal four way is going to be a very heated battle as these four are going to beat the hell out of each other.
Stew-O: That match is going to be an all out war, but tonight the victory belongs to the team of Milli Banks and Ms. Extreme. Congrats to the duo on their victory tonight.
(The final shot shows Milli and Ms. Extreme separately celebrating their victory before cutting to Chris Elite looking proud of his handiwork before cutting to SOSA who is sitting in the ring glaring up the entrance ramp at Chris looking extremely pissed off as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A hype package for the King of Elite tournament plays, highlighting Joso and Hans Grayson’s journey throughout the tournament.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Joso walking down a corridor, which garners a mixed reaction from fans. Joso has a look of determination across his face, focused on his upcoming match with Hans Grayson in the King of Elite semi-finals.)
Stew-O: Well, ladies and gentlemen, there is Joso, determined ahead of his match NEXT against Hans Grayson!
(The camera cuts to Hans Grayson, who receives an extremely positive reaction from fans. Hans finishes up stretching backstage, and takes a deep breath before grabbing his entrance jacket off a production crate, and beginning his walk to the gorilla position.)
Flannery McCoy: Speak of the devil, there is Hans Grayson, equally focused ahead of his match with-
(Hans notices someone off screen, and stops walking as a result, turning attention toward them. That someone turns out to be Jay Jerry Johnson, who walks into the frame, receiving a positive reaction from fans.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Hey!
(Jay and Hans dap each other into a hug briefly, the mutual respect showing.)
Hans Grayson: Hey, Jay, what’s up? I was just heading the ring for my match.
(Jay’s head droops low momentarily, being reminded about King of Elite.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Yeah, about that… I just wanted to wish you good luck.
(Jay pats Hans on the shoulder, but Hans can tell that Jay is hurting a bit.)
Hans Grayson: Thanks… hey, I was watching your interview last week, and just wanted to say, it could’ve easily been you in this position. Ya know, had Drake not taken a shortcut. I would’ve loved to share the ring with you last week.
(Jay chuckles to himself, although clearly frustrated, and nods, forcing a positive demeanor.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Yeah, you’re right, I could’ve been in this position, but I’m not, aren’t I?
Hans Grayson: Well-
Jay Jerry Johnson: Because you could defeat Drake, and I couldn’t.
(Jay is visibly seething slightly, thinking about everything, and Hans places his hand on Jay’s shoulder, but immediately gets it swatted away for his troubles.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Get your hand off me!
(Hans puts both hands up, taken aback by Jay’s behavior.)
Hans Grayson: Relax, dude. You lost last week, it happens. Look, just dust yourself off, and be ready for the next opportunity that comes. Nobody is holding that loss against you, alright?
Jay Jerry Johnson: Dust myself off? After two weeks ago, that isn’t exactly easy. If anyone’s holding that loss against me, it’s me. I got eliminated in round one of the King of Elite tournament. Round. One. You think that’s something I can gloss over, even if Jay cheated?
Hans Grayson: No, I don’t. But-
Jay Jerry Johnson: But nothing. Hans, no offense, but you can’t possibly begin to comprehend how I feel right now. You know why? Because you actually defeated Drake Armstrong, you’re actually in the finals of the King of Elite tournament. You don’t have to live with knowing you couldn’t get the job done, you don’t have to stand back, and watch as somebody else lives out your dream.
(Jay shakes his head in disappointment. Meanwhile, Hans rubs his forehead, slowly growing irritated with Jay before responding.)
Hans Grayson: I understand where you’re coming from. Really, I do. But I’ve got no time to sit here, and play therapist, alright? Respectfully. I’m out to win the King of Elite tournament, and tonight, if I beat Joso, I’m one step closer towards doing exactly that. So, I’ve got to remain focused. Anyway, I’ll see you down the road, right?
(Jay thinks to himself before nodding.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Yeah… you’ll see me down the road.
(Jay’s statement has a bit of an ominous undertone to it before he walks off. Hans has no time to dwell on it, however, and begins walking to the gorilla position, as he was originally doing before being interrupted as the camera fades to the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SEMI-FINAL MATCH IN THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!
(‘Trophies’ by Drake plays first, garnering a mixed fan reaction, and Joso cockily struts onto the stage, glancing both sides before marching down to the ramp, tossing his sunglasses aside, determination on his face.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out of Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds…HE IS THE NEW ERA…JOSO!!
(Joso finishes posing in the ring, and turns his attention toward the stage as “The Leaving Song Pt. II” by AFI blares throughout the arena, receiving a fully positive reaction from fans. Hans is confident in himself ahead of his match with Joso, and high fives fans on his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada weighing in at 219 pounds…FIRE HEART… HANS GRAYSON!!
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: We are underway! Joso, Hans Grayson, our main event of the evening! Winner goes to the finals of the King of Elite tournament, determination etched across both their faces. Both men start things off circling one another, and engage a collar and elbow tie-up in the center of the ring.
Flannery McCoy: A jockey for position takes place, but Joso manages to back Hans up against the ropes, and keeps him pinned there, causing the referee to intervene, giving both men til the count of five.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THR-
Jake Mercer: Joso separates himself from Hans before the count of three, and backs to the center of the ring. Again, both competitors circle one another, and a second collar and elbow takes place.
Stew-O: Joso slips behind Hans for a rear waistlock, but Hans locks on a rear waistlock of his own after a go behind. Go behind by Joso! Go behind by Hans! Joso! Hans! Joso regains the upper hand with another go behind, and rear waistlock applied. However, Hans backs Joso into the corner, pinning him between the turnbuckles, and his body. The referee gets involved, looking to force another break between the men.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Flannery McCoy: Joso releases the hold, allowing for Hans to break away. Hans could’ve scored a cheap shot there, but decided against it. Joso steps out of the corner, and circles Hans for a third time. Collar and elbow in the center of the ring! After a jockey for position, Hans backs Joso into the corner, outpowering him, albeit briefly before Joso swaps places, pinning Hans up against the corner now.
Stew-O: The referee interjects himself again, looking to force another break between the pair.
Referee: ONE! TWO!
Jake Mercer: Ooh! Joso just shoved Hans in the corner, and Hans shoves him right back!
Stew-O: The intensity appears to be rising as Hans marches toward Joso in the center of the ring- BUT JOSO CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Hans is doubled over after that kick, and gets grabbed in a standing side headlock. Hans drives Joso back into the corner, and begins to THRUST his shoulder into the abdomen repeatedly!
Flannery McCoy: With Joso stunned momentarily, Hans connects with a forearm smash! Joso responds back with one of his own! But Hans has an IMMEDIATE answer, landing another vicious forearm, knocking Joso back into the corner.
Stew-O: Hans proceeds irish whip Joso into the opposite corner! BUT JOSO GOES UP AND OVER, AND ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, SPRINGING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER AS HANS COMES CHARGING IN! SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW OUT OF THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: Both competitors are quickly back to their feet, and Joso grounds Hans as he groggily wanders into a side headlock takeover.
Flannery McCoy: HANS! HANS ROLLS JOSO ONTO BOTH SHOULDERS!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWW-
Flannery McCoy: No! Joso regains the advantage with the grounded side headlock, finding himself back on top of Grayson.
Jake Mercer: Grayson could’ve stole one there, though that would’ve been quite the embarrassing defeat for Joso. :mjlol:
Flannery McCoy: Hans slowly powers back to his feet, and goes to bounce Joso off the ropes to escape. But Joso hangs onto the side headlock, skidding down to a knee. Joso stands himself up, and transitions into a side headlock takedown, grounding Grayson once again! Hans tries powering back to his feet, but Joso blocks that from happening.
Stew-O: Hans is in trouble, but gets himself out of it, using those legs to lock Joso in a headscissors, and successfully escape the grounded side headlock. Grayson tightens the hold, but Joso eventually moves to a front neck bridge, and balances himself with a headstand- BUT HANS HAS AN ANSWER AS HE SPIKES JOSO WITH A MINI PILEDRIVER!
Flannery McCoy: That was an innovative counter by Grayson, which clearly did some damage as Joso writhes in pain on the canvas. Hans approaches Joso, and pulls him back to his feet for a side headlock takeover of his own! Hans wrenches on the hold, and both Joso’s shoulders find themselves on the mat.
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: Joso pops the shoulder up, making sure to keep it up as well. Joso tries shifting the momentum, ROLLING HANS ONTO BOTH SHOULDERS FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWW-
Stew-O: Kickout, and Hans finds himself back on top of Joso with that grounded side headlock. Joso powers back to his feet, being forced to fight from underneath, similar to how he made Hans. Joso bounces Hans off the ropes, but Hans hangs on this time, skidding to a knee, and bringing Joso along with him.
Flannery McCoy: Hans wrenches on the side headlock still as both competitors are up to a knee. Joso powers back to his feet- but gets grounded with the side headlock takeover! Hans wrenches on the hold, putting more pressure on the neck, which Hans spiked with that mini piledriver of sorts.
Stew-O: Joso rises back to his feet, and looks to escape the headlock with a BACK SUPLEX! But Hans STILL manages to hang on, and floats over back on top of Joso for the grounded side headlock. Joso quickly powers back to his feet, and starts to loosen Hans’ grip with repeated back elbows to the abdomen.
Jake Mercer: With this, Joso tries to rebound Hans off the ropes, BUT HANS COUNTERS WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! HANS CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! Joso kicks out, but Hans stays on the attack, pulling Joso back to his feet, and slamming him FACE FIRST off the top turnbuckle in the corner! Hans connects with multiple forearms to the face of Joso before snapmaring him down to a seated position, and charging in with a running SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! Hans hooks the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Only a two count! Hans stands Joso back up, and PLANTS HIM in the center with a snap suplex! Hans floats over into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Another kickout by Joso! Hans pulls him back to his feet, and irish whips Joso HARD into the corner! Joso comes staggering out, and gets LAUNCHED into the air with a BACK BODY DROP! Joso rises to a knee, favoring his back, and gets pulled into another suplex attempt. BUT JOSO FLOATS OVER BEHIND HANS, AND SPINS HIM AROUND FOR A KICK TO THE GUT!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO TRIES LIFTING HANS UP FOR A SUPLEX, POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR EXECUTIONER FROM HELL, OR FINAL CALLING! BUT HANS FLOATS OVER AS WELL, AND SWINGS JOSO AROUND FOR A NECKBREAKER! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: KICKOUT! Hans pulls Joso back to his feet, and knocks him into the corner with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: Hans closes the distance between them, and scores with ANOTHER knife edge chop! BUT JOSO BATTLES BACK ONE OF HIS OWN! HANS REBUTTALS WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP! CHOP BY JOSO! CHOP BY HANS, WHO BACKS JOSO INTO THE CORNER WITH FOREARMS TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Hans beat Joso down to a knee, and lifts him back up to a vertical base. Irish whip to the opposite corner- but Joso reverses, sending Hans instead! Joso charges in! BUT HANS SENDS JOSO UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER! JOSO CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, BUT GETS KNOCKED OFF WITH A FOREARM BY GRAYSON!
Stew-O: Joso favors his jaw on the outside, and Hans runs off the ropes, SOARING THROUGH THE MIDDLE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Hans pops to his feet, and taunts to the crowd, fired up before rolling Joso back inside the ring. Hans slides in, but Joso rolls out to the apron on the opposite side, creating more space between Hans and himself.
Jake Mercer: Hans reaches out over the top rope, pulling Joso back to his feet, and goes to suplex him back inside the ring! But Hans can only get Joso up slightly before he blocks it from happening!
Flannery McCoy: NOW, JOSO TRIES SUPLEXING HANS TO THE OUTSIDE! HANS IS SUSPENDED HIGH, BUT MANAGES TO BLOCK IT FROM HAPPENING LAST MINUTE! JOSO HOISTS HANS UP A SECOND TIME, BUT HANS FINDS HIS WAY OUT TO THE APRON! KICK TO THE GUT BY JOSO, WHO PLANTS HANS ON THE APRON WITH THE EXECUTIONER FROM HELL!
Stew-O: THAT SUPLEX-LIFTED CUTTER CONNECTS! Hans looks glossed over, and Joso crawls toward him, slowly pulling Hans back to his feet. Joso goes to roll Hans back inside the ring- but decides against it. Joso decided to against it, realizing he’ll need to do more damage, and sends Hans BACK FIRST into a corner of the barricade!
Flannery McCoy: Joso pulls Hans up, and sends him into ANOTHER corner of the barricade! Hans writhes in pain on the outside, but Joso isn’t done, standing him back up, and looks to send Hans into another corner of the barricade- BUT HANS REVERSES AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING JOSO BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: Joso is down, and Hans aims to catch his breath, get his wits about him before attempting to pull Joso back to his feet. BUT JOSO GRABS HANS TIGHTS FOR LEVERAGE, AND PULLS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Joso stumbles back to his feet, and rolls inside the ring, restarting the referee’s count before rolling back out.
Flannery McCoy: Joso rolls Hans back inside the ring, and hops to the apron for a SPRINGBOARD SWANTON BOMB! JOSO ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHH-
Jake Mercer: KICKOUT! But that was an amazing combo performed by Joso!
Stew-O: Hans crawls away from Joso, and uses the ropes to pull himself up to a knee. Joso grabs a handful of Hans’ hair, and stands him up for a right hand that knocks Hans back into the corner! Joso approaches- BUT HANS CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! JOSO ANSWERS WITH ANOTHER RIGHT HAND! KICK TO THE GUT BY HANS! RIGHT HAND BY JOSO! RIGHT HAND BY HANS!
Flannery McCoy: HANS BATTLES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH RIGHT HANDS, AND GOES TO IRISH WHIP JOSO INTO THE CORNER! BUT JOSO REVERSES, SENDING HANS STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HANS STAGGERS BACK INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! JOSO ROLLS HANS THROUGH TO BOTH KNEES, AND NEARLY TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Stew-O: JOSO SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHH-
Jake Mercer: HANS KICKS OUT! Grayson still has tons of fight left in him, but Joso looks to beat that out of him, placing Hans in a rear chinlock, placing his knee between the shoulderblades of Grayson. This won’t win the match, but will wear his opponent down.
Stew-O: The crowd rallies behind Hans, who fuels off their energy to power back to his feet, and break Joso’s grip with back elbows to the gut. HANS GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES- BUT JOSO PULLS HIM BACK BY THE BAND OF HIS TIGHTS, AND PLANTS HIM WITH A BLUE THUNDER BOMB! INCOMING SILENCE! JOSO HOLDS IT FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: KICKOUT! Hans rolls over to the ropes, and uses them to pull himself back up. Grayson stalks Joso as he rises to his feet in the center of the ring, and rushes in!
Stew-O: JOSO TRIES FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT HANS TRAPS THE ARM FOR A HAMMERLOCK LARIA- NO! JOSO DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND SHOVES HANS TOWARD THE ROPES! OOH! A WICKED BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE BY JOSO CONNECTS, AND JOSO RUSHES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: ALMOST! JOSO ALMOST HAD IT WON! BUT HANS GOT THE SHOULDER UP! NOW, INTENSITY IN THE EYES OF JOSO, WHO SIGNALS THE END! JOSO PULLS HANS UP FOR THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! JOSO WANTS HEAVENS GATE- BUT HANS TWIRLS OUT OF IT! JOSO IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY JOSO! JOSO RUNS OFF THE ROPES AS HANS COMES STAGGERING OUT OF THE CORNER! DISCUS LARI- NO! HANS DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! JOSO DOUBLE LEGS HANS TO THE CANVAS, AND FLOATS OVER FOR A JACKKNIFE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: HANS BRIDGES UP, AND TRANSITIONS INTO A BACKSLIDE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND PULLS HANS UP IN A SNAP PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! HEAVENS GATE SPIKES GRAYSON! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: KICKOUT! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, HANS MANAGED TO KICKOUT!
Jake Mercer: The package piledriver had more of a snap, as Joso didn’t get all of it, which might be the reason why Hans was able to kick out. Either way, I’m glad to see this match continue!
Flannery McCoy: For once, excellent point made by Jake.
Jake Mercer: :wtf:
Stew-O: Joso pulls Hans up by the head, and connects with a forearm! Hans is on wobbly legs following that, and gets caught with another forearm strike! Hans can barely stand, and Joso plants him with a body slam! Joso climbs to the top turnbuckle- BUT GETS CAUGHT BY HANS, WHO TOSSES JOSO OFF THE TOP ROPE! Joso got flipped onto his back, and rises to his feet, favoring his back-
Flannnery McCoy: SUPERMAN PUNCH! JOSO JUST GOT FLOORED WITH THE FLAMING PUNCH! AND HANS GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST MINUTE! Hans rises to a knee, and looks around before stepping out to the apron! The crowd reaction is beginning to spike as they know what Hans is looking for! He wants that Burning Shot Lariat, and if it connects, it might be over for Joso!
Stew-O: JOSO IS BEGINNING TO STIR, AND GRAYSON’S INTENSITY IS RISING!
Jake Mercer: WAIT, WHAT THE-
Flannery McCoy: THATS JAY! THATS JAY JERRY JOHNSON, WHO JUST GRABBED THE ANKLE OF HANS! AFTER SOME STRUGGLING, GRAYSON PUSHES HIM AWAY WITH HIS BOOT, AND SLINGSHOTS OVER THE TOP FOR THE BURNING SHOT LARIAT!
Stew-O: JOSO! JOSO TRAPS THE ARM, AND SPIKES HANS WITH THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! SECOND HEAVENS GATE OF THE MATCH, AND THE COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERES YOUR WINNER… JOSO!!
(‘Trophies’ by Drake plays to a negative reaction as Joso unhooks Hans’ leg, and rises to a knee, getting his hand raised by the referee shortly after. The camera cuts to Jay on the outside, rising to his feet after being pushed to a seated position by Hans, and there’s a proud grin on his face.)
Stew-O: Well, he’s done it! Joso is advancing to the King of Elite finals, but I can’t sit here, and act as if that was a squeaky clean victory.
Flannery McCoy: I mean, it’s not like Joso had anything to do with it, but Jay provided him without recovery time to capitalize, and connect with that Package Piledriver.
Jake Mercer: The second package piledriver of the match! Hans had no chance of kicking out of that one.
Stew-O: But can Joso carry the moment forward is the question. Can he truly usher in that New Era?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, but I do know that once Hans Grayson comes to, there will be hell to pay for that man, Jay Jerry Johnson.
(The final shot is Jay Jerry Johnson backing up the ramp, smug in his expression as Joso celebrates in the ring, unbeknownst that he had interference to assist him.)
