(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty is shown: Joso kicks off Friday Night Dynasty in 2023 and cuts a promo before being interrupted by Amir Yusuf, who sparks a brawl that has to be broken up by security. Lethal Angel beats Tristan Carter. After a disagreement backstage, Nick Hart and Shane Gates get a victory over the team of Nick Infinite and Axel Graves. Solomon Stane gets his reward from Tyrone Montgomery but wants more, leading to Soul Food Sunday and later Nick Hart and Shane Gates interrupting. It leads to Soul Food Sunday suggesting a triple threat Unified Tag Team Championship match at King of Elite which Tyrone agrees to. PJ Hendrx gets a win over Kirk Redwood. Milli Banks has an interview talking about Empress of Elite. Caroline advances to the Semifinals by beating out Mei Sasaki. Ruler talks about Caroline and promises to kill his creation. Milli Banks advances to the Semifinals by beating Sierra Bradford. Maxwell cuts a promo explaining his actions which is interrupted by Limmy Monaghan, promising that he’ll defend his title even against people like him. Joso beats Amir Yusuf to advance in the King of Elite tournament, afterward Amir lays him out and beats him down. Maxwell gets a win over Madison Kaline. Sienna Jade cuts a promo which Dr. Bethany Blue interrupts on the titantron, messing up Sienna’s car which leads to a parking lot brawl and the Universal Women’s Champion’s head drilled onto the windshield. In the main event, Limmy Monaghan beats SOSA Henderson before being attacked by Maxwell after the match. Maxwell standing tall over Limmy is the last shot seen before the show ends and the Dynasty recap fades out.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then goes to the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon where a clean version of ‘P.O.D’ by Denzel Curry is heard blasting through the speakers. It’s accompanied by a burst of pyro on the stage with the crowd on their feet and ready to go tonight. The camera pans around to show a shot of the stands, with signs being held up and various Elitist’s shirts being seen. The camera then goes over to the commentary booth where Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are seen standing by.)
Jake Mercer: Ladies and gentlemen we would like to welcome you tonight to the critically acclaimed five star Mercer rated show… FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!
(Match graphics begin to flash on the screen running down the various matches for the night.)
Stew-O: And what a show that we have for you tonight with the Empress of Elite tournament finals being cemented alongside the King of Elite second round continuing on. Serenity Valdez will be going up against Caroline in a Semi Finals matchup. Then on the other hand we have Milli Banks and Showdown’s Holly Arrow facing off to show who is going to be facing the winner of the previous match at King of Elite in the finals!
Flannery McCoy: Then on the male side of things we have PJ Hendrx and Jay Jerry Johnson going at it in the second round. Alongside that in our main event we have Bronson Daniels going up against the Interwire Champion Joso! What a show, let’s get right into it!
Stew-O: Well…
(Moments later, the camera would pan over to the announcers table, as we see Stew-O, Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer all sat in a row, in that order. The camera would linger on them for just a few moments, before their opening narration continues.)
Stew-O: Now, as was advertised, what was intended of this broadcast was quite different to what we now have. Initially, this was supposed to be opened by our very own Universal Women’s Champion in Sienna Jade, she was supposed to start off the show tonight from the ring, however, due to the attack we saw unfold last week; we have been informed that she is unable to be in the arena tonight. Though, the show must go on, and thus we have found a suitable replacement for this situation, in order to continue moving forward…
(The camera would pan out as Stew-O nods upon finishing his sentence, eventually panning to a wide shot of the arena, displaying the titantron and the ring itself. Eventually, Sophia Love is hard speaking over the broadcasting system, speaking directly into an EAW-branded microphone that blares through the speakers in the arena, ready to announce just who Stew-O was alluding to moments before with his sentence.)
Sophia Love: Ladies and Gentlemen… Dr. Bethany Blue!!!!!
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen would hit the speakers, as Dr. Bethany Blue’s entrance video would play over the titantron. The continuous shot would fade over to the stage, as Bethany walks out dressed in her casual outfit. She poses on the stage, before walking down the ramp, clearly not in the best of moods due to everything that has transpired, however, she remains professional. She would do anything to rip Sienna Jade’s head off her shoulders, however, when the time calls for her to be about business, she would do than any day of the week instead of the grudges she has held against somebody. Bethany stops at the bottom of the ramp, twirling the microphone in her hand, before she heads over to the steel steps and begins to walk up them. She slips through the apron, circling the ring, before her theme song eventually comes to a close, just leaving her, and the crowd reaction, that is clearly split due to their hatred for Sienna, more than likely hating Bethany just a little less. Bethany pauses in the center of the ring, before lifting up the microphone.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: To be honest with you, this entire situation is absolutely petty, and it annoys me quite a bit. I didn’t want to hold the Empress of Elite crown for this long, just for an opponent of mine to treat this match less of a genuine threat and competition, instead, more of a joke, just a little game. Situations like that are disrespectful to the talent and effort that I have been putting into this company for way longer than she’s been back, so of course, everything I have done because of it is right, I was NEVER in the wrong. The attack Sienna pulled on me was cowardly, there is no other way to describe it. Not the way Sienna tries to, not the way anyone else does; it was cowardly. And because of it, what I did last weke on Dynasty? That was completely deserved. The thing that Sienna refuses to understand is; you cash your checks with your mouth, and sometimes, the bill is too high to pay. She couldn’t pay the cash she checked, so she payed with her head, when I drilled it through a car windshield. She is the reason for that, not me.
Dr. Bethany Blue: That’s what she gets for doing what she has. Sneaking around, attacking people, trying her absolute hardest to reduce me into just another run of the mill, pretty average competitor that will never touch the heights that she has; when we both know that it’s truthfully not the case. I’ve shown I’m anything but. She literally acknowledged my Empress of Elite crown, and she should acknowledge all of my other accomplishments; the truth is, I’m nowhere near average. I’m as legitimate as they come, and she’ll find that out soon enough. She chose to run her mouth. She didn’t choose to take me seriously, understand the validity of my opportunity here, she chose to treat me like a middling Elitist who hasn’t done anything worthwhile in this company, and because of it, she’s lying at home nursing her injuries. As I said before, she cashed the check, she chose this path, I certainly didn’t. We know that I love a professional, one-on-one, competitive contest, but when push comes to shove, and I’m forced to bring myself to do things such as I did right there, I absolutely will, and if she wants to start issues once more, I’ll do it again.
(Dr. Bethany Blue stares down the hardcam, not to the fans who are watching at home, but directly to Sienna Jade, knowing that she’d be watching this.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I’ll do whatever it takes in order to make Sienna Jade realize just where she went wrong in this whole ordeal, and if it means drilling her through car windshields, onto concrete, everything that has happened th roughout this situation and more? Then so be it. Because at the end of the day, we all know what is going to happen. We all know how this is going to end. It’s not going to be some “the bad guy wins” story, where the instigator doesn’t get her commuppance; the Doctor is going to win. When this whole ordeal comes to a close, I’m the one standing high above Sienna, and I take that Universal Women’s Championship off of her shoulder and directly onto my shelf of accomplishments come King of Elite, everybody is going to see that I am the very best in EAW today. Not only will I be Dr. Bethany Blue E…O…E, but this time, I will be Dr. Bethany Blue U…W…C!
(Bethany does her hand gesture upon every initial, before she tosses the microphone onto the mat. She stares down the hardcam, directing her message to Sienna once more, however, moments later, we’d soon learn just how received that message was. The sound of what appears to be a microphone rustling is heard, as the audience directs their head to the titantron, where we see a vertical video of Sienna Jade, holding up her phone with a smirk on her face, the text “Live Via Satellite” appearing on screen, indicating this is going on currently, though we have no idea where she is.)
Sienna Jade: Hey! Hey, Beth! Yeah, over here!
(Bethany rolls her eyes, before turning to the titantron.)
Sienna Jade: There we go! So, I was just sitting here, and I heard everything you had to say… and, honestly, I’ve never met a more stupid person in my whole life. You really think that I’m the coward after that little stunt you pulled? You really think I’m lying about saying you’re just not World Championship level? If you were, you’d be in my position right now, but you’re not. You’re just not as good as you think you are, and come King of Elite, I’ll prove it to you. I’ll prove it to the whole world, as we are REMINDED of just how good I am, because seemingly you’ve forgotten. I’m not somebody to be messed around with, and you will have to learn that the hard way apparently. What you did last week was real daring, but all you did was piss me off even more. I want your head now even more than ever, and I’ll take it at King of Elite… granted, I want just a little more than your head.
(Bethany rolls her eyes, and shakes her head, since she is obviously not in the arena, and doesn’t assume she could do anything. Only for Sienna to grin…)
Sienna Jade: It’s fitting I got back at you for last week, after all Beth, so I may have told a little lie. Well, call it a half-truth. I’m not at the Doctors, getting medically evaluated, I never was. I’m perfectly fine. Well, I AM at the Doctors actually… since I decided not to go to Dynasty this week, I took a nice little trip over to Florida… and, well, see for yourself.
(Sienna Jade pulls the camera up, as we see none other than Bethany’s Doctors office, something we have seen in multiple segments and videos, so it’s very easy to tell what it is. Sienna smirks.)
Sienna Jade: Obviously, thanks to your commitment to EAW over there on the West Coast, you won’t be over here, but in fact, Oregon. So, my duty as EAW Universal Women’s Champion called, and I chose to be a good role model. I thought to myself I’d just take a trip in, just checking things out, y’know, making sure everything is running well while you do your thing…
Stew-O: What is Sienna planning…?
(Sienna stands up, before walking inside the office itself, closing the door behind her.)
Stew-O: OH- OH MY GOD!
(Sienna places the phone down, pulling out a crowbar, before immediately swinging it at her Doctor’s equipment, smashing test tubes, damaging tons upon tons upon tons of expensive equipment, even swinging for the cabinets, knocking them off their hinges and blowing holes into them.)
Flannery McCoy: OUR CHAMP HERE IS DAMAGING BETHANY’S OFFICE RIGHT HERE! THAT’S PROPERTY DAMAGE! BETHANY IS LIVID RIGHT NOW, AS SIENNA IS TAKING THIS EVEN FURTHER THAN IT WAS!
(Sienna swings the crowbar once more at the desk, before turning around, and throwing it like a javelin straight through Bethany’s computer screen, even pulling it out and damaging the computer itself, possibly losing files upon files upon files of medical research and work. Bethany is furious, as she drops the crowbar, and fixes her hair, turning back to the camera.)
Sienna Jade: YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID BETHANY? WE WANNA PLAY GAMES NOW? WE-
(As Sienna yells at Bethany, the door would swing open, as somebody steps in front of the camera.)
???: What on Earth is going on here?
(Nobody knows who the man is, however, Bethany appears to recognize the voice, as her arm starts to shake…)
???: Listen, I’m not sure what provoked this Sienna, but we need to calm down… whatever is going on between you, and Bethany, it does not need to spill out into this office
(Sienna looks at the man, and takes a deep breath. She turns around, and walks to the camera, as the man steps behind her revealing Dr. BJ Hardick, Bethany’s father. The audience would gasp, before Sienna stops in her tracks.)
Stew-O: That’s… Bethany’s dad…
Flannery McCoy: You’re right, Dr. BJ Hardick… this is the last place he should be right now…
(Sienna suddenly turns around…)
Stew-O: OH GOD, NO!
(Sienna instantly clobbers him with a hook to the face, causing him to drop immediately, before she kneels down and begins to punch him over, and over, and over again. Bethany drops to her knees in the ring, knowing there is no chance she can reach him, effectively helpless, while Sienna pounds away on her father.)
Stew-O: S-SOMEBODY CALL IN! SOMEBODY GET HELP!
(Sienna grabs the man by his tie, lifting him up off the ground, before leaning him onto the stretcher. She turns around, almost instinctively, and grabs a syringe, attaching it to his arm, taping it on to remain there, before lifting him up onto the stretcher itself. She then straps him in…)
Stew-O: THIS IS TOO FAR! SHE JUST KNOCKED THAT MAN OUT, AND IS NOW GOING TO DO GOD KNOWS WHAT???
(Sienna grabs the stretcher from the back, and pulls the man backwards, almost as if to charge him up, before charging forward and driving him straight through one of the large, tinted office windows, shattering it, and sending him crashing outside of the office. He drops off the stretcher and goes face-first into the marble floor, glass landing all over him.)
Stew-O: WE NEED HELP! SIENNA JADE HAS JUST TAKEN THIS WAY TOO FAR!
(Sienna once more fixes up her hair, before walking over to her phone and picking it up. She makes sure Bethany’s father is in shot, before blowing a kiss right to her. The connection terminates.)
Stew-O: Oh my God, please, make sure we’re updated!
(The camera cuts to Bethany, seething with rage, completely speechless at what has just unfolded. She is beside herself, unknowing of what to do, before the scene fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for King of Elite, featuring the Universal Women’s Champion Sienna Jade and the Empress of Elite Dr. Bethany Blue.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with the camera focusing on Stephie Love who is ready to announce the first match of the night!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Dance Yrself Clean’ by LCD Soundsystem begins to play throughout the speakers of the arena, as Nick Infinite would make his way out onto the stage through the curtain. He looks around, before making his way down the ramp, rolling into the ring and backing into his corner, as he begins to stretch while he waits for his opponent.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Hollywood, California… weighing in at 210 pounds… he is The ‘CHOSEN ONE!!!!’ NICK INFINITE!!!!!!!!
(‘Man On Fire’ by Oh The Larceny would then begin to play, boos being heard throughout the arena, as Tristan Carter would walk through the curtain and appear on the stage. He looks confident in his ability tonight, looking to rebound from last week as he walks down the rampway, climbing up onto the apron and entering into the ring, before backing up into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Cincinnati, Ohio… weighing in at 218 pounds… he is The ‘HIGHLIGHT REEL!!!!!!’ TRISTAN CARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This match is underway, and right out of the get go it’s Tristan Carter who rushes Nick Infinite into the corner, catching him with lefts and rights! Infinite is trying his hardest to cover up, but Carter isn’t going to let him slip out of this, throwing Infinite over him with a snapmare before kicking him right upside the spine!
Flannery McCoy: You can tell that Carter is not happy after his performance against Lethal Angel last week, and he’s looking to redeem himself here tonight as he mounts Infinite, before catching him with those lefts and rights! Infinite is trying his hardest to protect himself here, as the referee has no choice but to pull Carter off of him.
Jake Mercer: Tristan backs up away from Nick Infinite, backing into the corner as he is stalking him down, just waiting for him to get back up to his feet. Infinite starts to make movement, crawling over to the ropes before climbing back up to his feet, but Carter rushes him once more and catches him with a huge boot right to the face! That knocked Infinite silly!
Stew-O: Nick Infinite hasn’t been able to get himself into this match since the opening bell, as Tristan has just been overwhelming him like he’s nothing! He grabs Infinite by the hair, pulling him up to his feet, but it’s Infinite who looks to fight back! He catches Carter with a right hand, before locking his wrist and Irish whipping him into the ropes.
Flannery McCoy: But Tristan Carter rebounds off of the ropes before catching Infinite with a huge clothesline, flipping him inside out! Infinite’s fury is cut off short, as Tristan immediately gets himself back in this match, dropping his knee right down on Infinite’s skull, before wrenching it right across the bridge of Infinite’s nose! Tristan has been on an absolute roll here.
Jake Mercer: He knows that after his disappointing performance last week against the debuting Lethal Angel, he had to rebound back in a big way and he’s doing exactly that, as he quickly picks Infinite back up to his feet once more, dragging him by the hair to the middle of the ring, before wrapping his arms around his waist and throwing him over him with a german suplex!
Stew-O: And Tristan Carter isn’t done, holding onto Nick Infinite as he quickly lets him go, before transitioning around him, and he locks in the ‘Idolizer!!’ the Idolizer is in tightly, AND NICK INFINITE TAPS OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY!! NICK INFINITE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner; TRISTAN CARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Man On Fire’ begins to play through the speakers once again, as Tristan Carter would immediately let go of Nick Infinite, quickly pushing himself up to his feet, as he looks towards the referee – the ref raising his arm up in victory.)
Stew-O: What a bounce back for Tristan Carter here tonight! After the two losses back to back he has had to suffer through, tonight has definitely made up for it, as he was able to make quick work of Nick Infinite and prove that he is not someone to mess with. Congratulations to Tristan!
(Tristan Carter would celebrate his victory, going to the top rope and posing, as the camera would then fade elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show the backstage area of the Moda Center. The camera goes over to show what’s going on while the crowd immediately after begins to respond with a chorus of boos. Serenity Valdez, alongside Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki, better known as The Queen Bees, are seen together. Serenity is obviously getting ready for her match tonight against Caroline in the Semifinals of the Empress of Elite tournament, stretching and preparing in her ring gear. On the other hand Sierra and Mei are both seated on production crates, sulking after what happened the previous week. All three of them pause though, while the camera goes over to show Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort slowly and cautiously scooting into the scene.)
Michael Belfort: Uhh… hello. I’m sorry if I’m interrupting anything between the three of you, but do you mind answering a few questions?
(Serenity, Sierra, and Mei look amongst one another, making it known that they are not in the mood at all to speak about what has been going on involving the three of them. Michael looks scared for his life right now, and slowly begins to scoot away again.)
Serenity Valdez: Make it worth our time.
(Michael breathes a sigh of relief, bringing himself back into the scene before looking to start the interview from there.)
Michael Belfort: Well as you know concerning the three of you, it’s been very hot and cold. Let’s talk about the bad stuff first. Road To Redemption is one of them, where notoriously, all three of you lost your title matches at the event…
(The Queen Bees do not take that lightly.)
Michael Belfort: …Before leading into the new year where all three of you found yourself participating in the Empress of Elite tournament. All three of you made it known that the finals were going to be between two of you, considering there were members on both sides of the bracket, and that one of you was going to walk out of King of Elite as the Empress of Elite. That plan has been… foiled, if that’s how you want to put it. Coming off of that, do you have any thoughts at all about it?
(Sierra and Mei, still displeased, get up on their feet next to Serenity.)
Mei Sasaki: I keep hoping that one day I’ll wake up, snap myself out of this nightmare that has been these past couple of weeks. Hanging on a thread and running with the belief that somehow none of this is true, because in my mind, what’s happening right now should’ve been near impossible! The Queen Bees should’ve ended the new year with the Specialists, New Breed, and Interwire Championships in tow, feeding off of the success of Road To Redemption where we promised that all of us would be holding gold by the end. But that didn’t happen, and it was something itself that we had to come to terms with. But regardless of that we swore amongst ourselves that we’d keep pushing, that this would not be the end, and somehow heading into 2023 our names would be etched into the history books, whether that be because of our own accomplishments or what we do as a team. Though I’m not going to count that out, it’s too early to say yes or no, I am going to say that it has not been the best start.
Sierra Bradford: The Empress of Elite tournament was meant to be redemption for ALL of us, for everything that has happened these past couple of weeks. There are a lot of people out there that have taken it upon themselves to laugh in our face and disrespect us, and we went out of our way to make sure something like that never happened again. The first step was easy, dismantling the competition as we should, but the next… the next step… it was heck on Earth. Caroline beat Mei, I lost to Milli, now not only are we gone, Milli Banks, who should’ve been eliminated a century ago, possesses the opportunity to darn well advance to the finals. It’s one thing for us not to be there ourselves, it’s another for that witch to be there and have the opportunity to get the last laugh on all three of us when we’ve done nothing but dominate her since Justified Reckoning onward.
Michael Belfort: Well, even then I still think there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the three of you. Sure it’s unfortunate that Sierra and Mei didn’t make it, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Serenity finds herself in the Semifinals against Caroline. Do any of you have any thoughts about that-
(Serenity lunges forward and snatches the microphone away, startling Michael.)
Serenity Valdez: Your services aren’t needed anymore, scram.
(Michael scurries away while Serenity turns to the camera that’s still focused on her.)
Serenity Valdez: He’s right, I am in the Semis, and furthermore I’m heading to the Finals. I don’t see Caroline having the slightest of a chance to get one over on me, especially in a high pressure situation like this. Despite her new personality making her seem more mature than she was, she is still a rookie who doesn’t understand the ropes. She is bound to screw up just as she always does and I’m going to take advantage of that when the time comes. At this point, especially with everything that we were just talking about, I don’t think I have a choice other than to win the Empress of Elite and fight for the Universal Women’s Champion. I don’t think it’s in my jurisdiction to decide whether or not I want to win or lose, I have to win, no if’s or but’s about it. The Queen Bees deserve redemption, we deserve everything, and while we haven’t been getting that, we’re going to make sure that it happens now. 2023 I promised that all three of us were going to be at the very top, and NOTHING about that is going to change. NOTHING, and I would love to see any of you, I don’t care who, prove me wrong on that.
(Serenity drops her microphone down to the ground while The Queen Bees turn around and begin to make their way out of the scene. It’s the last shot seen before from there, Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with the camera going over to show Stephie Love standing into the ring, ready to announce yet another match tonight!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks begins to play throughout the speakers to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos as Axel Graves would make his wait out onto the stage. He walks down the rampway, before rolling into the ring and backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Bear Creek, Montana… weighing in at 265 pounds… he is ‘BIG COUNTRY!!!!’ AXEL GRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Mephisto Waltz’ by Mephisto Walz would then start playing to boos, as Lethal Angel would then make his presence known, walking through the curtain and onto the stage. He starts to walk down the rampway, before climbing up onto the apron and entering into the ring, backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania… weighing in at 202 pounds… The ‘WONDER DEATH!!!!!!!!’ LETHAL ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This match is underway! Lethal Angel and Axel Graves meet in the center of the ring, as it looks like they are going to go into a lockup! Both men fight for control, as it is Axel who is able to get the advantage, pulling Lethal into a side headlock, as he begins to wrench that hold in tightly.
Flannery McCoy: But Lethal Angel is able to fight out of this, slipping his head out of the grip, before grabbing Axel by the arm, pulling him around and kneeing him right in the gut! Axel doubles over as Lethal grabs a hold of him, before grabbing his arm once more, irish whipping him into the ropes but Axel Graves rebounds and catches him with a shoulder tackle!
Jake Mercer: Lethal Angel crumbles down to the mat below, as Axel quickly runs off the ropes once again, but Lethal slides under him, forcing Axel to step over him as he goes ro run off the opposite side of the ropes, but it’s Angel who quickly gets back up to his feet, before grabbing Axel from behind, stopping him right in his tracks as he goes for a rollup!
Stew-O: But Axel Graves is able to hold his weight, stopping him from tumbling down to the mat! He elbows Lethal in the head, forcing him to let go of his grip as he would then grab a hold of him by the head, before throwing him right into the corner! Lethal had a bad landing as his back hit the turnbuckle hard, and Axel runs at him catching him with a clothesline!
Flannery McCoy: No! Lethal Angel is able to duck the clothesline! Axel runs into the ropes with no control, as Angel is going to take the opportunity given to him, running the ropes himself this time around, before catching Axel with a dropkick, and he goes down! And now Lethal can sense that he has Axel right where he wants him, mounting on top of him before connecting with those left and right closed fists!
Jake Mercer: The referee is going to get into this, as he looks to get Lethal to open the fists, in which he does, but then he catches Axel with a stiff forearm right to the face, and Axel Graves might just be out of it right here! Lethal gets up to his feet, and he drops his knee right down into the face of Axel Graves, and just like this he has found a way to take control!
Stew-O: Lethal Angel quickly gets back up to his feet, grabbing Axel Graves by the hair as he pulls him back up as well, before catching him with another forearm smash! Axel backs up into the ropes, but he rebounds and catches Lethal with a big boot, but he stays on his feet and catches Axel with an uppercut… no! Axel ducks it, and he catches Lethal with a suplex! Axel into the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Lethal Angel is able to get his shoulder up before the count of three! Axel Graves doesn’t look too happy as he gets up to his knees, grabbing a hold of Angel as they get back up to their feet, and Axel throws Lethal into the ropes, before catching him with a huge clothesline this time around, and Lethal Angel was just flipped inside out! Graves with another cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Another kickout! Axel Graves is pounding the mat, getting back up once more as he runs the ropes, and runs straight for the prone body of Lethal Angel, going for a senton!! But Lethal is able to move out of the way and Axel crashes and he burns!
Stew-O: Lethal quickly gets back up, as Axel moves to his knees, and Lethal runs the ropes before catching him with a huge big knee right to the back of Axel’s head! Axel might be out of it, but Lethal ain’t done, picking Axel back up to his knees, and Lethal runs into the corner, and it looks like he is going to go for a second one back to back…
Flannery McCoy: Axel Graves is able to get back up to his feet in time, and he is able to catch Lethal Angel before throwing him with a belly to belly suplex! Axel quickly gets back up, running the ropes and this time around he is able to connect with the running senton! Axel Graves has Lethal Angel reeling!
Jake Mercer: He tries to roll away, but Axel Graves is able to stop him, grabbing him by the hair as he picks him back up to his feet, and he connects with a huge right hand right to the jaw! That just knocked Lethal Angel silly! Axel pushes Lethal into the ropes, and as Lethal rebounds, Axel catches him with a big boot, and now he’s setting up for something big!
Stew-O: Axel throws Lethal into the corner, before walking over to him, and he puts him up onto the top rope! Axel yells something that couldn’t be picked up, before he grabs a hold of Lethal Angel, AND HE’S SETTING UP FOR ‘THE RIDE!!!’ AXEL GRAVES WITH THE MUSCLE BUSTER—
Flannery McCoy: Wait no! Lethal Angel is holding his ground! Lethal starts kicking at the face of Axel, trying to get him to force him away as much as possible, but Axel is holding his ground, not wanting to go down that easy! And Axel catches Lethal with a huge chop! Axel gets his bearings together, and it looks like he is going to go for it again!
Jake Mercer: Axel Graves gets Lethal Angel off of the top rope and onto his shoulders! Axel is going to put an end to this once and for all with THE RIDE!!! AXEL WITH THE MUSCLE BUSTER THIS TIME AROUND—
Stew-O: LETHAL ANGEL FIGHTS OUT OF IT AND SLIPS OUT OF AXEL’S GRIP BEFORE SLIDING DOWN HIS BACK, AND PULLS HIM DOWN AND OVER INTO A SUNSET PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner; LETHAL ANGEL!!!!!
(Lethal Angel would quickly roll out of the ring as the bell rings, his theme playing throughout the speakers once more to a reaction of boos as the referee raises his arm, Axel Graves looking pissed off, and rightfully so. Lethal backpedals up the rampway, and continues to celebrate his victory as the camera would fade elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Fallout 78 featuring Jon Kelton.)
(‘Came Out Swinging’ by The Wonder Years plays. Nick Hart steps out, receiving a good amount of fanfare from the hometown crowd. He can’t help but have a smile on his face as he stops to soak in the moment. Soon, Shane Gates emerges and joins his tag team partner by his side, far more serious and uncaring. The two head down the ramp and Nick’s theme continues to play throughout the Moda Center.)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Shane Gates… from Portland, Oregon, weighing in tonight at 225 pounds, he is the ‘Man of 1000 Pins’… NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK HAAAAAAAAAAAAART!
Stew-O: The hometown man is out first, looking focused and ready to pick up a win here tonight! Nick has said that being able to perform in front of a familiar crowd is like no other, and with the roll he has been on lately, he looks to add a fourth consecutive win where it matters the most to him.
Jake Mercer: I can’t even lie, I missed when Nick had those live streams and absolutely tore into everyone. However, the shift in mentality has benefitted him. Nick Hart for the longest time has been considered a lower-tier Elitist; someone who will never see any bit of success in his career. Though he didn’t win at Road to Redemption, that seemed to light a fire underneath him. He’s been racking up wins and has an active winning streak going for him! The proof is in the pudding, and Nick is looking like a sizable threat.
Flannery McCoy: Sometimes, an Elitist has to step back, pull away the curtains and do some serious self-reflection. Nick has done that and he’s been able to pick up win after win, holding some momentum that we haven’t seen from him in quite some time. However, tonight isn’t going to be easy for him as his opponent looks to gain some of that momentum for himself.
(Nick is in the ring, warming up in his corner. ‘Came Out Swinging’ fades and ‘Sabotage’ by the Beastie Boys plays. A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as Kirk Redwood steps out with his OBA brother Solomon Stane with them. No smiles, all business. They walk down the ramp. Once close to the ring, Kirk slides in and gets into his corner, crouching down.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Being accompanied by Solomon Stane… from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in tonight at 210 pounds… he is the ‘Unkillable’, KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRK REEEEEEEDWOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Stew-O: Some highs and lows last week for Kirk Redwood as he was unable to advance to the second round of the King of Elite tournament. However, he and Solomon confronted Soul Food Sunday along with Shane and Nick and it seems like the tag team champions are willing to take them on with the titles on the line.
Jake Mercer: Both Kirk and Solomon have been focused on their singles careers, but it’s no secret that they want another shot at the titles they felt like they could’ve done so much more with. The opportunity to do so is right there for them to take, and what kind of statement they’ll be able to make if Kirk beats Nick here tonight. Both men want to be fully prepared to take on Soul Food Sunday. It isn’t about mere bragging rights. It’s about validation. Momentum. Having a genuine seat at the tag team table that Soul Food Sunday currently presides over.
Flannery McCoy: And you can tell just right off the bat how much Kirk wants to win with such a focused look on him. Nothing is going to be spared here tonight!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: The bell rings, and RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE KIRK RUSHES NICK! HE COMES IN HOT, CLOBBERING WITH A SERIES OF FOREARMS! NICK COVERS UP TO TRY AND DEFEND HIMSELF! HE’S ABLE TO BLOCK THE BARRAGE, BUT KIRK IS STILL GOING AT HIM!
Jake Mercer: Wow, Kirk isn’t messing around! Then again, when you’ve got a straight-up brawler and former street fighter as your opponent, stuff like this is bound to happen! Kirk FINALLY pulls away and goes for a stiff-arm lariat! Nick blocks it! Hart grabs the arm and flips Kirk into a seated position. Backing away, he comes in with a kick aiming for the back! Redwood rolls off to the side and pops back up! Big boot! NO! Nick ducks underneath it!
Flannery McCoy: And Nick is running right to the ropes! On the rebound, he comes back with a clothesline of his own! Kirk kicks at the attacking arm! Nick shakes it off, but his opponent is right there to CHOP him in the chest! Ouch! Nick flinches, and Kirk lights him up with another backhand chop! A European uppercut follows behind and now, Kirk brings him close for a suplex! He gets Nick Hart up–
Stew-O: And he goes down, only for him to land on his feet! Nick from behind wraps his arms around Kirk and hoists him up for a German suplex! Kirk rains down some elbows on Hart’s head! He lets go! Kirk hits a few palm strikes and finishes it all off with a short-arm clothesline! A quick cover here by Redwood!
ONE–
Jake Mercer: Nick powers out, BUT LOOK! ARMBAR! ARMBAR! KIRK GOT THE ARM TRAPPED! HE’S LOOKING TO GET THE SUBMISSION LOCKED IN COMPLETELY!
Flannery McCoy: Nick’s panicking, but he realizes he’s gotta turn this around and quickly! He’s up on his feet, pressing Kirk’s shoulder against the mat! With him having a few pounds over him, this should help him!
ONE–
Stew-O: And Kirk kicks out, but in the process relinquishes his hold. He’s up, and so is Nick. Nick steps up and BATTERS him with a forearm smash! Kirk gets lifted up and is slammed down by a quick snap suplex! Nick floats over, traps his arm in between his legs, and rolls Kirk through into the magistral cradle!
ONEEE–
Jake Mercer: Another alert kickout! Both men are up, and meet right in the middle as they lock up! Kirk shoves Nick! Nick shoves Kirk! It’s quite the struggle we’ve got going on here! However, once again, the size advantage of Nick Hart is coming into play as he’s able to get Kirk backed up in the corner. A knee strike to the gut has Redwood hunched over. Nick backs up and hits the running knee, using the corner ropes to help him out! Kirk stumbles forward! Nick grabs him and hits the arm drag! Kirk gets up, but once again, Nick takes him down with an arm drag! Kirk stumbles back up, and Nick catches him from behind! Atomic drop! Kirk winces as Nick hits the ropes and nails him with a lariat! A quick series of moves from him!
Flannery McCoy: This match is already fast and furious! Nick stomps down before nabbing Kirk’s arm and getting a key lock applied. Kirk grits his teeth. He’s trying to pull away. However, that arm of his isn’t budging! Nick’s got it tight in his grasp as he wrenches back, trying to do some damage! Kirk is beginning to look frustrated! He reaches over and starts to punch Nick right in the face! He’s hitting him over and over again, each shot sounding stiffer than the last!
Stew-O: And it works! Nick lets go, tending to his face. Kirk feels out his arm before stomping on over and crashing his foot into Nick! He stomps down hard before digging his boot into his face! And the fans start to boo, but Kirk pays them no mind! He forces Hart up and hits an uppercut! He traps him in an exploder suplex! Nick howls out, clutching his lower back! AND KIRK REDWOOD COMES RUNNING IN WITH A PENALTY KICK FROM BEHIND THAT EVERYONE HERE IN PORTLAND, OREGON COULD’VE HEARD!
Jake Mercer: Wow, what a sick shot there! Nick goes down and Kirk is right on top of him, hammering down some fists. Once again, Nick is forced to play defense here. He’s blocking some of those punches! Now, Kirk is up and grabs Nick by the hair. Stiff, machine-gun kicks to the face! My god, what a brutal sight! Kirk is ringing all of the bells that are in Nick Hart’s head here!
Flannery McCoy: Those unprotected shots to the face look like they’re doing damage to him. Shane Gate is on the outside pacing back and forth, yelling to this partner to come to his senses! Kirk finally lets go, and Nick drops to the canvas. Redwood circles around him and proceeds to stomp down on each and every limb! He isn’t done here just yet! He goes to the ropes, uses the bottom rope to launch off of, and crashes his knee down onto Nick’s chest! Kirk goes for the cover!
ONE!
TW–
Stew-O: Kickout! Kirk doesn’t look all that pleased. He forces Nick to sit up and drops down behind him. He traps an arm, exposing that chest. Kirk places a target right on it and starts to batter the area! Elbows! Punches! Hammerfists! Nick is in trouble here!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, no kidding! Now, Kirk forces Nick to stand and he hits a spinning backfist! Nick wobbles! He drops to one knee! He looks out of it! Kirk was able to quickly overwhelm him! And if my hunch serves me correctly, then Kirk Redwood may be looking to end this match already as he gets behind and assumes the position! He’s revving up the engine! He’s running in! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP’–
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOSH, NO! NICK MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! HE JUST BARELY AVOIDED IT! KIRK SPINS, BUT NICK HART TAKES HIM OUT WITH A SUPERKICK!! KIRK STUMBLES FORWARD, AND FALLS RIGHT INTO THE WAITING ARMS OF NICK HART WHO PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH A DDT! NICK GRABS HIS HEAD ON THE WAY DOWN AND ROLLS FORWARD TO LOCK IN THE FRONT CHANCERY!!
Stew-O: Great show of awareness there by Hart as he was able to capitalize at an opportune time! Nick’s trying to get the hold in even tighter, wearing Kirk down! Redwood struggles! Nick persists! The referee steps in and asks Kirk if he wishes to give up, but he’s refusing to do so! Still, how can he get out of this? The longer he stays in, the more he’s at risk of submitting or even passing out!
Jake Mercer: And wouldn’t it be ironic if Nick Hart were to tap him out? Still, that’s that uncanny stubbornness from Kirk Redwood coming into play here. He’s a tough S.O.B who isn’t going to give up easily. As much as it may hurt, it’s still going to take a lot in order to get him even CLOSE to thinking about tapping out here tonight!
Flannery McCoy: And Kirk is reaching for the ropes! He’s trying to inch close and closer to them in order to force Nick to break the hold! He’s just a fingertip away from getting the– Oh! Nick actually lets go! He gets up and drags Kirk up with him! Could we be seeing the Spanish Fly?!
Stew-O: Nick has him close for it, but Kirk is quickly fighting back with elbows to the side of the head! The point of the elbow finds its mark on him each and every time! Nick’s grip on Kirk is slipping! Redwood grabs his head and HEADBUTTS him! I think everyone in attendance just cringed at that!
Jake Mercer: Myself included! Wow! And Kirk spins out of it, roaring back in with an arm-trapped spinning lariat! Nick goes down, but Kirk still has a hold of his wrist! He forces him up and moves behind him! ‘BASTARDPLEX’! THE WRIST-CLUTCH BACK SUPLEX LANDS!! NICK IS OUT! KIRK DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES!
Flannery McCoy: Exhaustion could be settling in seeing as how the action has been non-stop with no rest in between. Both men have been going full-throttle since the start of this contest! Kirk at least looks to be the better-off Elitist as he gathers his breath. Solomon Stane is outside, encouraging him to end this thing! Kirk looks over to the ropes and blows his fist! We know where this is headed!
Stew-O: Kirk Redwood has all of the intentions to end this match right now, and he could very well do so! He steps out onto the apron. Eyeing Nick down, he grabs on to the top rope in anticipation. Hart is starting to stir. However, I’m not sure if he realizes that he’s in a precarious predicament with his opponent ready to seal the deal! Kirk leaps up and springs off, aiming right at Nick with the ‘.50 CAL’–
Jake Mercer: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR! OH MY GOD, NICK HART JUST CAUGHT KIRK REDWOOD IN MID-AIR WITH THE SPEAR FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN! AND THE FANS ARE GOING NUTS FOR THEIR HOMETOWN BOY HERE TONIGHT! AN INCREDIBLE, LAST-DITCH EFFORT FROM HIM! HE JUST SAVED HIS CHANCES OF WINNING THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: Just like that, in a blink of an eye, Nick was able to avoid a disastrous end for himself tonight! Solomon is slamming the mat on the outside, trying to get Kirk to get up! Shane, meanwhile, gets closer to his partner’s side, checking on him! He speaks to him and… it.. It looks like he’s looking for something in his pocket. What’s going on here?
Stew-O: The referee just walked by to check on Kirk, not realizing what’s happening! Shane just slid something toward Nick who was beginning to stir. Nick rises and sees that he was offered some brass knuckles! He looks at Shane whos encouraging him to use it! However, Nick shakes his head! And Shane is looking more and more annoyed by the second!
Jake Mercer: Man, I really do miss the old Nick Hart.
Flannery McCoy: Well, the old Nick wasn’t able to do much compared to the new Nick who has dedicated himself to improving and being the best he possibly can be! He and Shane are arguing as he gets himself up. I think Solomon is picking up on what’s going on too, because he’s headed over to their side! Now, he and Shane are going at it verbally! The referee goes to investigate while Nick has the knuckles in his grasp, away from the referee’s view! Looks like he’s gonna toss it away and out of the r–
Stew-O: BLITZKRIEG BOP!! OH MY GOD!! NICK WASN’T THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO GET UP IN TIME! KIRK REDWOOD IS UP!! NICK DROPS DOWN AND LOSES THE BRASS KNUCKLES!! HE SEES THEM AND PUTS THEM ON! NOT LIKE THIS!!
Jake Mercer: AND THE FANS AREN’T HAPPY! JUST AS NICK HART WAS ABOUT TO GET RID OF THEM, KIRK CAME FROM BEHIND AND NOW HE’S LOOKING TO STRIKE WITH THEM! NICK CAN BARELY STAND BACK UP!! HE TURNS AROUND – BANG!! A MODIFIED ‘.50 CAL’ ENHANCED WITH THOSE BRASS KNUCKLES!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH LANDS AND KIRK QUICKLY TOSSES THE KNUCKLES OUT OF THE RING!!
Flannery McCoy: SOLOMON AND SHANE STOP BICKERING AND LOOK AT THE RING WHERE KIRK IS PINNING NICK! THE REFEREE NOTICES AND DIVES IN FOR THE COUNT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Sabotage’ by Beastie Boys plays, but the reaction from the Portland crowd almost overtakes the music entirely. Solomon Stane slides in, instantly going to his partner and helping him up. The two former Unified Tag Team Champions exit the ring and celebrate.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER … KIIIIIIIIIIRK REDWOOOOOOOOOD!
Stew-O: Wow. Just like that, Kirk was able to use those knuckles for himself and beat Nick. What Shane Gates had in mind completely backfired.
Jake Mercer: Somehow, that sounds like a gross understatement! Shane was trying to help Nick win, but Hart wanted to be the valiant, fighting hero so badly and wasted time arguing with his own partner! Kirk was able to recover and took him out! Nick had to learn the hard way that Kirk Redwood and the Off-Brand Amphetamines aren’t going to waste time capitalizing on an opportunity presented to them! He should’ve nailed Kirk while he had the chance!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, Jake. It’s not that simple. Nick just wants to prove himself through wrestling, as he had done so in the past weeks. If he were to undo all of that progress tonight and attacked Kirk with those brass knuckles, then what would people think of him?
Jake Mercer: Flannery, this is a sport! This is EAW! This is the most competitive wrestling promotion in the entire WORLD where only the most cutthroat can survive! Who cares about what people think so long as the results are favorable for a competitor? Kirk understood this, and that is why he was able to beat him tonight, putting an end to his winning streak! And that is why OBA has been able to see success sooner than Nick Hart and Shane Gates!
(Kirk and Solomon continue to celebrate as they leave. In the ring though, Shane and Nick are not pleased with both the result and each other. Shane starts to yell as Nick stands his ground, not wanting any confrontation but not wanting to be pushed over either. The two men argue as we fade backstage to see Soul Food Sunday observing the match through a television screen. Looking at the monitor, Visual Prophet, SOSA Henderson and Dr. D’Angelo Angelo all shake their heads. The camera’s focus is on the Unified Tag Team Championships in their possession as we fade to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back in to show the backstage area of the Moda Center, with Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing by. He has a smile on his face and a microphone in hand, making it apparent that he’s going to conduct an interview right now. After a moment, he begins to speak toward the camera that’s pointed toward him.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, what a match that we’ve just witnessed between the Off-Brand Amphetamines’ Kirk Redwood and Nick Hart, would you believe that the night has only just started??? We still have a ton of action coming your way LIVE from the great city of Portland, Oregon, but right now I’m joined by a special guest here tonight. Someone who recently participated on the Dynasty side of the King of Elite tournament looks to share his thoughts about what happened last week in his match against a tough opponent. Please join me in welcoming at this time… Amir Yusuf.
(The crowd gives a sour reaction while the camera pans over to account for Amir Yusuf who begins to make his way into the scene. He has a stone cold expression on his face while Michael greets him before continuing to speak from there.)
Michael Belfort: Amir, thank you for joining me tonight.
(Amir simply nods, allowing Michael to conduct the interview.)
Michael Belfort: Well as you know, last week wasn’t easy for you. You got eliminated in the first round of the King of Elite tournament by the current Interwire Champion Joso, thus thwarting any sort of chance at the World Heavyweight Championship for the foreseeable future. What are your thoughts on that?
(Amir bows his head down, taking a moment to ponder, before looking back up at Michael.)
Amir Yusuf: I don’t know what else to say other than what was already expected of me, it hurts. Combined with everything that I’ve already gone through this Season, the constant failures, the turmoil, the struggle, the sacrifice, I’m not taking this loss so easily. Especially after already losing two World Heavyweight Championship shots already, one at Territorial Invasion and the other in the Elimination Chamber at Road To Redemption, I was walking into the new year with this mentality that I was not going to let it happen again. It got to the point where a lot of people, if there are any, stopped betting money on me making any sort of progress in the World Title picture. It pisses me off because I know my worth, I know what I can bring to the table, and I can very well wave the Friday Night Dynasty banner as the top Champion if given the opportunity. So I walked into the King of Elite tournament with the intention of proving people wrong and putting on a performance that nobody was going to be able to deny. A masterclass, not just advancing, but beating a current Champion on Dynasty as well. I was confident in that, but it didn’t happen. Joso caught me by surprise and knocked me out, and that just gives me another reason to be pissed off. Once again, I am not at all taking this lightly. That loss last week should not have happened and I will continue to hold my ground on that.
Michael Belfort: Well, let’s also talk about what happened after the match while we have the chance. After the match we saw you attack Joso while he was celebrating his victory and beat him down. Do you have any comments about that or thoughts?
Amir Yusuf: He had it coming, you think I was just going to sit there and take it? He was talking all this trash toward me, disrespecting me and spitting on my name, even in defeat, do you think I was just going to do nothing about it? Of course I was going to take some sort of action, and even if I’m gone from the King of Elite tournament, I was going to make sure that I got the last laugh at the expense of Joso for the foreseeable future. Screw him, I have always been better than Joso and these… FLUKE wins that he’s gotten have only proven that his ceiling is being a charity case Champion who will continue to be catered to for the rest of his title reign. Even if he does get the ‘better’ of me, everyday when he goes to sleep he has to live with the knowledge that he got out of a match against Amir Yusuf by the skin of his teeth, someone who he doesn’t see any sort of worth or investment in at all. You have to have that on your conscience and I know, especially with what I did last week, that it will continue to tear you apart.
Michael Belfort: Well with that being said, it’s clear that your business with Joso is unfinished. But with his hands tied and the potential of him being booked and busy for King of Elite, what’s next for Amir Yusuf? Surely you don’t want to be left off the Marquee Event card.
(Amir has to pause from his rant to think about that for a moment. But then suddenly, it looks like a lightbulb has flashed in his head.)
Amir Yusuf: That would ruin the surprise, but if it helps you, I know exactly what I’m going to do next. You’re just going to have to wait and see.
(Amir smirks at Michael, before turning around and beginning to take his leave, signaling that this is the end of the interview. The camera focuses on Michael who looks to close this off.)
Michael Belfort: Once again thank you to Amir for allowing me to do this interview with him, he certainly made it known that he has a trick or two up his sleeve and we’ll just have to see what he has in mind in the next couple of weeks. For now, I’ll take it back to you guys.
(Michael brings his microphone down and smiles while Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with the camera going over to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face.)
Stephie Love: The following is a SEMIFINALS MATCH IN THE EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!! And it is a singles bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Run This Town (ft. Rihanna)’ by Jay-Z begins to hit the speakers, with the crowd responding with a thunderous array of boos while the camera goes from the ring to the stage. Serenity Valdez is seen bursting out from behind the curtain, bearing a smirk on her face while she immediately starts to trash talk. She is not at all concerned by the crowd’s reaction as always, and continues to boost her ego to the masses. She raises her hands in the air before then beginning to make her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Tijuana, Mexico… weighing in at 130 pounds… ‘SUPERIOR’… SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping with Sirens then begins to play up, with the crowd responding with a mixed reaction while the lights in the arena completely shut off. A single spotlight is seen shining down on the stage while smoke begins to billow out at an intense rate, with all that’s seen being Caroline who makes her way out of the fog and into the frame. She has an emotionless look on her face, with her head bowed down and simply looking toward the ring. She then begins to make her way down the ramp while the spotlight follows her along the way.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Paducah, Kentucky… weighing in at 109 pounds… ‘THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS’… CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung and here we go, one of these women have a chance to stamp their ticket to the Empress of Elite finals in this very match. The atmosphere is intense in the arena tonight, and both Serenity Valdez and Caroline are being very cautious right now, taking into consideration what both of them are capable of doing especially when you take into account how big of a match this is for the both of them. They slowly begin to pace around the ring, and this looks to start off regularly with a collar-and-elbow tie up-
(SLAP!)
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S NOT IN THE BOOKS FOR SERENITY AS SHE WALKS RIGHT UP TO CAROLINE AND SLAPS HER IN THE FACE!
(Serenity sends Caroline backward, wasting no time beginning to yell and berate her.)
Serenity Valdez: (Off-Mic) YOU’RE NOTHING! YOU’RE GOING TO LOSE! IT’S OVER!
Jake Mercer: I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t think what Serenity did right there was a very bright thing to do… :lupe:
Stew-O & Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
(Caroline, despite all of this commotion, keeps a blank look on her face, letting it sink in what Serenity has done while the former Specialists Champion continues to flap her gums.)
Stew-O: I THINK SHE’S HEARD ENOUGH! CAROLINE LAUNCHES TOWARD SERENITY AND DROPS HER TO THE MAT WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS, BEGINNING TO FLAIL AWAY WITH STRIKE AFTER STRIKE TOWARD HER FACE! Serenity tested her luck and now she’s playing the price, as she’s left to desperately defend herself from this unpredictable attack that has been thrown her way this early into the match! Caroline refuses to let up, so much so that the referee has to intervene to try and slow her down! She ultimately relents and gets back up to her feet… BUT RIGHT AWAY SERENITY ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING!
(Serenity holds her hands up while circling around the ring, wanting nothing to do with Caroline at the moment. Caroline isn’t in a rush to get Serenity back into the ring, simply rising back up to both of her feet and staring a hole into her, all while The Queen Bees leader simply tries to buy herself some time for the moment, the referee trying to get her back inside.)
Serenity Valdez: (Off-Mic) I’M NOT GETTING BACK INSIDE THAT DAMN RING! YOU DIDN’T GIVE ME ANY TIME TO PREPARE FOR THIS MATCH! THIS IS MY WARM UP PERIOD-
Flannery McCoy: CAROLINE! ‘NO ESCAPE’! SUICIDE DIVE INTO A TORNADO DDT!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY SAW IT COMING, CONNECTING WITH A RIGHT HAND TO SEND HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Playing it smarter not harder got Serenity out of that situation, but how long will she be able to keep this offense going is a whole other question in itself. She grabs Caroline by the head and brings her up to her feet, BEFORE THROWING HER SPINEFIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Serenity is just trying to keep her at bay, and I think she’s going to do so by keeping her contained inside the ring, grabbing her once again before rolling her back in. Serenity rolls back in herself, and immediately Caroline is beginning to crawl back up to her feet. This took a turn for the worse, AND SERENITY LOOKS TO MAKE SURE ANY SORT OF MOMENTUM LEFT IN HER IS DERAILED BY SENDING A SHARP KICK STRAIGHT TO THE ABDOMEN TO DROP HER BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Serenity looks to have the advantage right now and has the fullest intentions of making sure that it stays that way. She grabs a hold of Caroline and drags her up, seizing her by the wrist and bringing her out, BEFORE SENDING A KNEE TO HER ABDOMEN! That drops Caroline down to a kneeling position, BEFORE SHE SNATCHES HER BY THE HEAD AND DROPS HER DOWN WITH A SNAP DDT- NO! Caroline begins to send punches toward her abdomen, showing some fight and trying to force Serenity away from her! Serenity tries to hold on, but ultimately let’s go, deciding it’s not worth it. She approaches Caroline while she recovers, ONLY FOR CAROLINE TO JUMP ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND SEND HER DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity is taken down but quickly begins to get up, realizing that Caroline is beginning to mount some momentum in her favor. She turns around to face her, ONLY FOR CAROLINE TO RUN TO THE ROPES AND LAUNCH HERSELF OFF OF THEM FOR A SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT STRAIGHT TO HER HEAD! It’s not over just yet though, with Caroline running to the ropes again… BEFORE FLATTENING SERENITY WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! CAROLINE GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT SERENITY SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE TWO COUNT! What a move by Caroline, but it wasn’t enough to keep the plucky Serenity down on the mat for long. Caroline pulls herself back up to her feet, grabbing Serenity and beginning to yank her up as well. But before she can do anything it’s Serenity that breaks free from her grasp before then beginning to unload on her with lefts and rights toward her face! Caroline is taken by surprise, trying to fend the attack off, but Serenity shows that she won’t be taken down so easily! She grabs the arm of Caroline before sending her to the ropes… WAITING FOR HER TO REBOUND BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A BACK ELBOW!
Stew-O: Caroline is dropped down to the canvas, but despite that is still trying to get herself back up, with the best that she’s able to do is up to a seated position for now. That’s not quick enough to outrun Serenity, AS SHE STEPS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO STOMP DOWN ONTO HER CHEST- Caroline avoids it! She pushes the leg away before continuing to rise back up to her feet! Serenity stumbles forward but manages to catch herself, BUT THAT GIVES CAROLINE ENOUGH TIME TO SHOOT BACK UP TO HER FEET BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR WHILE GRABBING SERENITY BY THE HEAD AND PLANTING HER WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Caroline rises back up once again, holding onto the ropes and eyeing Serenity who grabs the back of her neck while down on the mat. She then begins to make her way over to the corner, slowly beginning to scale the turnbuckles up to the top turnbuckle. If there was a perfect opportunity to do so, then it would be right now, and Caroline knows that and has the fullest intentions of taking advantage of that and getting some offense in. Serenity tries to recover, but she’s too late… WITH CAROLINE FLYING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR ‘WIDOW SPLASH’! 450 SPLASH ONTO SERENITY!
Jake Mercer: NO! NOBODY HOME! SERENITY MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! Caroline lands hard on the canvas but tries to get back up to her feet, she realizes that the move backfired and looks to try and reprimand things by taking Serenity down. WAIT! ‘EL ÚLTIMO BAILE’! THE RECOIL SENDS CAROLINE DOWN TO THE GROUND OUT OF NOWHERE! SERENITY TURNS THINGS AROUND IN HER FAVOR AND QUICKLY GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHH-
Stew-O: BUT CAROLINE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! Back and forth this match has gone so far with both Elitists simply refusing to quit despite everything that they have gone through. Serenity sits up, frustrated that this match has panned out the way that it has so far, meanwhile Caroline is slowly beginning to roll herself to the ropes to get herself up to her feet quickly. Serenity catches wind of that, beginning to get back up to her feet and approach Caroline who has managed to grab a hold of the middle rope to pull herself, BEFORE SENDING A KNEE TO HER GUT! Caroline doubles over while Serenity grabs her by the arm and sends her to the ropes with an Irish whip…
Flannery McCoy: BUT CAROLINE USES THE MOMENTUM TO THROW HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LAND ON THE APRON! She saves herself just for the moment while Serenity, who must be fuming right now, approaches her, BEING MET BY A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TO THE FACE WHICH DROPS THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Serenity grabs her back in pain while Caroline tugs her back up, ONLY TO SEND HER A KNEE IN RETURN STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER OUT!
Jake Mercer: Showing an insane amount of aggression right now on both ends, with Caroline dropping down and grabbing Serenity by the head into a headlock! She has it cinched in making sure that Serenity stays on the ground and gives her a moment to recuperate. Serenity right now has too little energy to do anything about it, only able to fight through the pain and hopefully get herself some leeway so she can get herself out of this. Which is what she’s slowly beginning to do, rising back up to her feet, and making sure that Caroline can’t continue whatever offensive maneuvers that she might have in mind toward her. Serenity manages to get herself up to a vertical base…
Stew-O: BUT CAROLINE LETS GO AND CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! That stuns Serenity for the moment while Caroline turns around and runs the ropes… GOING FOR A RUNNING LARIAT TO THE HEAD- BUT SERENITY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE GUT TO STOP ANY SORT OF MOMENTUM THAT SHE HAS RIGHT NOW! Serenity falls backward and against the ropes, using a moment while Caroline continues to rise back up to her feet despite the abdominal pain she has to be feeling right now. Serenity tries to recover, BUT CAROLINE IS QUICK, TRYING TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING-
Flannery McCoy: BUT SERENITY GOES UNDER AND SENDS CAROLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE INSTEAD! She immediately turns around, knowing that Caroline is going to land on the apron, before following that move up with a hard right to the face of Caroline! She’s barely able to hold on while Serenity grabs her by the head, with the fullest intentions of going for something huge right now… LIFTING HER OVER THE ROPES WITH AN IMMACULATE AMOUNT OF STRENGTH AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Caroline lands hard while Serenity gets back up to her feet, completely focused on the match at hand. She falls backward into the corner, waiting for Caroline to recover and allowing her the time to get a breather before continuing with the rest of this match. Caroline slowly begins to rise up, not going to let Serenity get the better of her the way she’s been doing right now, and if we know her we know that she’s going to be quickly finding a way out of this and getting the momentum back in her favor. She turns around… ONLY FOR SERENITY TO RUN TOWARD HER!
Stew-O: BUT WHATEVER SHE HAD IN MIND IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE PUT ON ICE FOR NOW, WITH CAROLINE MANAGING TO SIDESTEP OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Serenity is sent forward as she collides chestfirst with the corner, stumbling backward, ONLY FOR CAROLINE TO GRAB HER BY THE WAIST AND LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX WHICH DROPS SERENITY STRAIGHT ONTO HER HEAD! Caroline isn’t done, keeping a hold of her while continuing to drag her back up to her feet, CONNECTING WITH ONE MORE GERMAN SUPLEX FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Flannery McCoy: Caroline is back in this match and this does not mean any sort of good for Serenity at the moment. Serenity tries to roll herself out of the ring and escape while she has the chance, but that’s not going to be happening with Caroline managing to grab a hold of her and beginning to tug her back up to her feet. Serenity tries to send groggy punches toward the face, but that’s quickly shut down with Caroline connecting with a stiff punch which leaves her stunned! Serenity is stunned and that gives Caroline the perfect opportunity, TO LIFT HER OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECT WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Caroline isn’t done either, rolling through… BEFORE CAVING SERENITY’S CHEST IN WITH A BEAUTIFUL DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Jake Mercer: This is not how Serenity wants this to go, with Caroline making her way over and grabbing her head before bringing her up again. She grabs Serenity by the arm before sending her over to the corner! Serenity is backed up while Caroline approaches her, BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S SERENITY THAT CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! She continues to show that she has some life left in her while Caroline stumbles back, WITH SERENITY RUSHING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: Serenity is hanging on a thread in this match, and has only been narrowly able to escape whatever offense that Caroline has thrown at her tonight. Despite that, she has put up a fight and specifically right now has her right where she wants her. She is back up to her feet and begins to make her way over to Caroline, grabbing her by the head and setting her up for something big… SERENITY GOING FOR ‘FALL FROM GRACE’! SPRINGBOARD FLATLINER TO CAROLINE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CAROLINE GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AND PULLS HERSELF TOWARD THEM WHILE SERENITY MISFIRES AND CRASHES DOWN TO THE MAT! SERENITY TRIES TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET, ONLY FOR CAROLINE TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND KEEP HER DOWN WITH ‘DARK HALLOWS’! THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR KNEE DROP CONNECTS!
(Caroline brings herself up onto her knees, looking back to Serenity who is sputtering for air on the ground while grabbing her gut in pain. She begins to slowly rise back up to her feet, but what she doesn’t see is Caroline slowly closing in on her.)
Jake Mercer: Like a predator who has caught her prey, Caroline looks to finish the job once and for all. Cementing her place on the King of Elite card and advancing to the Empress of Elite tournament by beating a big name here on Dynasty and getting some huge momentum heading into the Marquee Event. She approaches, setting a stunned Serenity up…
Stew-O: GOING FOR ‘A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE’! HEADLOCK DRIVER-
(Suddenly, before the move can connect, the arena lights begin to quickly flicker.)
Jake Mercer: :noah: Don’t tell me that Disney forgot to pay the electricity bill. Not in the middle of a great match!
(Caroline drops Serenity’s lifeless body down to the ground, looking around while the lights continue to flicker repeatedly. After a while… they stop, and begin to dim. Reminiscent of her entrance, smoke is seen billowing out from the stage while a spotlight begins to shine down on the stage.)
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:!!! It can’t be… can it???
(A shadowy figure is seen emerging from the smoke, while the pathway begins to clear up and reveal who it is…)
Jake Mercer: RULER! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS HERE!
(Caroline simply has her eyes fixated on the stage, a ever so slightly frustrated look on her face beginning to appear while Ruler stands at the stage with the New Breed Championship resting on his shoulder. He doesn’t seem at all angered or confident or whatever, he just reciprocated the same cold look that Caroline has to her.)
Stew-O: Caroline has to keep herself on edge now, especially knowing that Ruler at any moment could swoop in and cost her this opportunity at the Empress of Elite match.
(Suddenly, the lights turn back on.)
Flannery McCoy: FROM BEHIND! SERENITY CONNECTS WITH A LEAPING ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’! RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TAKES OUT CAROLINE! SERENITY ISN’T DONE AS SHE PICKS HER BACK UP TO HER FEET…
Jake Mercer: BEFORE FINISHING OFF WITH A TEQUILA SHOT! SHE CALLS THAT MOVE THE ‘MORALITY’S EDGE’ AND SHE JUST DROPPED A DISTRACTED CAROLINE WITH NOT JUST ONE, BUT TWO OF HER FINISHING MOVES! SERENITY DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG! FOR THE WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Run This Town (ft. Rihanna)’ begins to play up again with Serenity Valdez dragging herself away from Caroline, somewhat confused about whatever in the world just happened, but quite frankly she just doesn’t care. She gets back up to her feet and raises her hands high in the air, the referee helping her to do so. If she was confident and braggadocious before this, then that personality is certainly amplified now in the face of victory. Meanwhile, Ruler is still standing at the stage, staring at a knocked out Caroline in the ring.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner, and advancing to the FINALS OF THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!! SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow, what an ending to a great match in itself. Caroline was a hair away from getting that win, about to finish Serenity off for good. But in the end it was Ruler who made himself known, showing up on the ramp and distracting her for long enough so that Serenity could recover and drop her to get the victory tonight!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think Caroline cares much about the loss either, especially after what happened, all her focus is on Ruler. But one thing we can definitely say for certain is that Serenity will be facing whoever wins between Milli Banks and Holly Arrow at King of Elite for the Empress of Elite crown. What an opportunity, could we see the return of La Reina???
(Serenity rolls out of the ring, confidently strutting up the ramp with the knowledge that she gets closer and closer to the Empress of Elite by the week. Meanwhile Caroline is seen slowly rising back up to her feet, angered at what happened.)
Jake Mercer: WAIT! RULER WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD! HE’S NOT DONE JUST YET! HE MOUNTS ON TOP OF CAROLINE AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON HER WITH PUMMELING FOREARM STRIKES JUST RAINING DOWN!
Stew-O: HAVEN’T YOU DONE ENOUGH! HASN’T THE DAMAGE ALREADY BEEN DONE!
Flannery McCoy: It’s the only way that the message can be sent.
(Ruler continues to attack Caroline until her defense lowers, leaving her barely moving before getting her back up to her feet. He brings her back up using his foot, putting her precisely into position for…)
Jake Mercer: ‘THE REVOLUTIONIZER’! SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE HEAD OF CAROLINE KNOCKS HER COMPLETELY OUT!
(Ruler takes the New Breed Championship that he dropped on the ground and picks it back up, looking at it before raising it into the air over the battered body of Caroline. ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert begins to blast through the speakers as the last shot seen is the New Breed Champion standing tall while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown, being headlined by a round one match on Showdown’s King of Elite bracket between Xander Payne, accompanied by Ryan Joseph Wilson, and Alex Myers.)
(Eventually, returning from the events that had just unfolded, we cut to the backstage area moments following the obligatory commercial break. Eventually, it pans up to an area right besides the gorilla position, a large metallic fence coats the background of the arena, alongside visible production crates and equipment. In center frame, however, is none other than Ruler, moments following the moment where he took this tournament away from Caroline, stopping her in her tracks, and once again playing spoiler for her career. He had just entered backstage, but evidently, he wasn’t done. Evidently he has more to say, which he does.)
Ruler: I told you, didn’t I? I warned you, didn’t I? I said this would happen. Just one week ago, I announced to the world my intentions. I announced to you, Caroline, my intentions. You are my creation. You, the current Caroline, were born by my hands, you exist by my actions, you are here by my decisions. As I said, I’m proud. I’m proud of where you have come, because I’m proud of my ability. But with that ability to create comes an ability to deconstruct. I’m proud of my ability to create people like you. I’m proud that I possess the ability to create. Now? I’m going to be even more proud of being able to kill my creations. Creation is satisfying, but not as satisfying as destruction. It was fantastic watching you rise up to the place that you are at now, it was satisfying watching you morph and change because of me, but it’s going to be even better when I completely deconstruct you, leave you mangled, as a confirmation of my own power, my own ability, my own spot as the Ruler of Everything. What I just did is a reminder of that.
Ruler: Your fate is in my hands. What will happen to you, I am in control of. You may feel as if this is some sort of moment where you can take the control back into your hands, but I assure you, I am still the puppetmaster, the strings are still attached; they will even remain intact when I destroy you myself. Your fate… is in… my hands. If you hadn’t got the message before, you will now. I took something you clearly wanted away from you because it made you remember just how powerful I can be, but I can assure you, that is the least of it all. That’s stage one. Something so devastating isn’t even the end result, it isn’t even where you will be left off, it isn’t even the worst of it. Some could call that paradise. The first half is always heaven in comparison, hell will soon follow. I killed off your hopes, so I could PERSONALLY kill off your hopes. I ended your dreams, so I could CONTINUE to end your dreams. No distractions. No other goals. I am in your focus. I am who you want. I stand in front of you, palms pressed together.
(The crowd would boo as Ruler clearly intends what he’s saying, obviously planning to do all of this to Caroline and more, and just judging by the storied history they’ve had together, there’s no doubt that he CAN do it.)
Ruler: At first I played God but now I play the devil, think of what I just did as a kiss of death. Because of it, I am in the foreground once more. Because of it, I am the one you want once again. Because of it, there is nobody else to take this moment away from us, and there never will be again. No Empress of Elite. No Universal Women’s Championship. No Serenity, no Holly, no Milli. Just myself, and you. Your little “revenge” fantasy that you want to play out, before you truly realize you’re a toy soldier in my game. In reality, you should be thanking me. I turned you from a pawn to a main player, I turned you from what you wanted to be, to what you truly are. I should be thanked. I should be applauded. You should be on your hands and knees praying to me, all because of what I did…
Ruler: But you took it too far. You crossed lines you weren’t designed to cross. You walked into the wrong lane, you should be behind me, but now you’re standing across from me, trying to put an end to me. I didn’t design you to do that. I designed you to adhere to me, I should be your savior, but you chose to cross what will now be your destructor. I’m going to end this while I have the chance. It shouldn’t have happened. It will never happen again. Instead of applause and thank yous, I got attacked by a woman who should never have dared to attack me. I will make sure that never happens again. The entire point of this was very simple, Caroline. This message is dedicated to you. Me pulling you out of the Empress of Elite. One more match. King of Elite. That is what is at stake here. You want your revenge, and I will grant it to you if you truly want it. I’m going to be delighted to hear your response once you garner the opportunity to do so. Though, keep in mind. There should be no surprise when the same result that occurred at Justified Reckoning once more happens, history repeating itself, as you fade away because of my own actions. Fate.
(Ruler turns his hands to the camera, showing his palms, metaphorically showing the two choices she could have taken. He lowers one before walking away, the last frame of him being on screen showing a single palm; the path that she had taken, destruction. He walks away, and as the camera lingers on the fence, remaining there for multiple seconds, a steady shot, no more movement now that Ruler has gone. Eventually, the broadcast would transition elsewhere, as the shot no longer remains on the titantron.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with Stephie Love being seen with a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The Following Contest is a Empress of Elite, SEMI-FINALS MATCHHHHHH!!!!
Crowd: https://media.tenor.com/xe4xQ7_zKqIAAAAd/cheer-wwe-smackdown.gif
( ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne began to blast through the speakers to a HUE crowd reaction of entire cheers, dampening any possible boo’s as Milli Banks began making her way down to the ring, rocking a white and gold bodysuit lined with glimmering studs; as Milli Banks continued her descent down the ramp towards the ring, grinning ear to ear in excitement for this match though producing swagger with every step as she climbed up the apron, parting herself through the middle rope before entering the ring; coming into her corner though looking towards the fans, riling them up as they cheered louder than ever, forcing a larger grin onto Milli’s face before she quickly settles herself in the corner; awaiting her opponent. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING FIRST…. FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… SHE IS ‘THE IT GIRL’… MILLLIIIIIIIIII BANKKSSSSSSSS!!!
Stew-O: And some would say this could be the lead-up to the storybook ending to Serenity Valdez vs Milli Banks, a set of matches filled with tenacity and tension; and right now you can see it in the eyes of Milil, she’s ready to make that dream a reality and get back at Serenity for everything her and the Queen Bees have done – but of course to do that? You have to get past Holly Arrow, a competitor that is EXTREMELY skilled and talented in her own right and by no means a pushover in this business!
Jake Mercer: Agreed on that front, Holly Arrow is an absolute beast, and in the young career of Milli Banks she’ll have to tame that beast and survive to have a TRUE chance of becoming Empress of Elite in her own right and start 2023 and the Era of Milli Banks off with a BANG!!!
( As ‘Changed It’ faded out, ‘Despair: A Hero’s Cure’ by Soraru, began to blast through the speakers to an almost equal amount of cheers as none other than Holly Arrow began making her way out of the titantron’s entrance towards the ring, confidence brimming off her persona; and no fear shown in her eyes as she stared down Milli Banks from the ring, even smirking right at her as Holly found her way to the steel steps, stomping up them before transferring onto the apron and through the middle ropes right into the ring, taking a lap as she channeled the crowd, hyping herself up for this match-up before finding her way into the corner, awaiting the bell to ring. )
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT… WEIGHING IN AT 149 POUNDS… FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND… SHE IS ‘THE FINAL GIRL’ HOLLY ARROOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And she could truly be labeled as ‘The Final Boss’ here for Milli, because that is the energy she provides; a spectacle every time she steps into the ring, a HUE name in this business, and a girl who knows what she wants; that being the title of Empress of Elite, and I am CERTAIN that she will go and do anything out there tonight in order to get that accolade around her belt!
Jake Mercer: Holly Arrow is a strategist, and we’ve seen her evolve into an absolutely insane in-ring competitor; honestly I would say that we’re in the peak of her arc on the way to truly becoming great! After missing some opportunities, I feel like we’re at a turning point, and Empress of Elite? It could truly just be her time, though for now she NEEDS to get past Milli Banks; and will she be able to do that? Only time will tell.
(Ding! Ding! Ding)
Stew-O: And we’re underway in the SECOND of our Semi-Finals Empress of Elite matchups here; with Milli Banks and Holly Arrow sizing each other up now and what is sure to be a spectacle of a one on one!
Jake Mercer: That’s not an opinion at all, that in fact will inevitably be a spoiler; as both competitors begin to reach the middle of the ring as we might see a lock-up to begin this match – OH, BUT AN EARLY FOREARM SHOT FROM MILLI BANKS; BUT HER ARM IS CAUGHT BY HOLLY ARROW; COUNTERING THE SUDDEN MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: And Holly Arrow looking towards Milli Banks’s arm, before looking back to Milli with an unimpressed look as she wags her finger; clearly getting the better of Milli in that encounter – OH! AND HOLLY ARROW GOING FOR A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE FROM CLOSE RANGE – BUT MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO ARCH HER BACK JUST INCHES FROM HOLLY’S ARM, SHOWCASING HER FLEXIBILITY!
Stew-O: And Milli Banks retorting with a counter of her own; now smirking back at Holly Arrow – though it’s Holly who still has full control of Milli’s arm – AND HOLLY ARROW SHRUGGING IT OFF; HEADBUTTING MILLI BANKS AND LETTING GO OF HER ARM, SENDING BANKS BACKWARDS AND BEGINNING THIS MATCH OFF STRONG!
Jake Mercer: Milli clearly not expecting Holly to be as quick-witted as she was; as now she is on the defensive early holding her head, with Holly Arrow coming behind quickly as she grabs Milli by her neck; stopping what was seemingly an escape early as Holly pulls Milli into the middle of the ring, now Milli transitioning her hold from Milli’s neck to her arm; OH, SHE’S DASHING MILLI AWAY; BEFORE SPINNING MILLI BACK TOWARDS HER, LOOKING FOR THAT RIPCORD KNEE OF HER, ‘THE EMPERORS TIME ‘MAY CONNECT EARLY FOR HOLLY HERE – AND IT DOES, MILLI BANKS IS DROPPED; AND HOLLY ARROW WITH A QUICK COVER!!!
OONNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
THH-
Stew-O: AND MILLI KICKS OUT!!! MILLI WITH A SUDDEN KICK OUT, KEEPING HERSELF ALIVE IN THIS MATCH!!!
Flannery McCoy: Cutting it close nevertheless, with Holly Arrow going big early; that was a HUGE sequence right there and surely something to wake everyone up, as Milli stays lying on the ground; Holly QArrow reaching her feet quickly as she heads into the corner, sizing up Milli from there as it seems she’s calling Banks up for something big here!
Jake Mercer: And calling up she is as Milli Banks slowly reaches her feet, Holly Arrow seemingly seething to hit another huge move to possibly put Milli away; AND HERE COMES HOLLY, RUSHING FORWARD TOWARDS MILLI BANKS FOR WHAT LOOKS TO BE A HUGE LARIAT FROM HELL –
Flannery McCoy: BUT MILLI EVADES!!! MILLI MANAGES TO DUCK THE LARIAT, HOLLY ARROW STAGGERING FORWARD; SPINNING BACK TO MILLI – BUT AS HOLLY TURNS AROUND MILLI IS RIGHT THERE TO MEET HER, HOOKING THE NECK OF HOLLY FROM THE FRONT AS SHE SQUATS DOWN BEFORE LEAPING UPWARD; SHOOTING TO THE SKY AND OVER HOLLY ARROW – ‘BANKRUPT!!!!!!’ THE SALIDA DEL SOL CONNECTS UNEXPECTEDLY ONTO HOLLY ARROW AND MILLI BITES BACK, HOOKING DOWN HOLLY’S LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!
OONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: BUT IT’S HOLLY NOW WO KICKS OUT; HOLLY KICKS OUT!!!!
Jake Mercer: And this crowd is OUT of their seats! With Milli Banks and Holly Arrow now both resting on the mat, Milli clearly suffering still from that knee, and Holly Arrow getting the most of that Salida Del Sol; who would’ve expected things to start like this!
Flannery McCoy: You can’t expect anything but EVERYTHING; especially with two competitors like this coming to fight for such a HUGE opportunity, as Holly Arrow and Milli Banks both start to get to their feet; Milli Banks grabbing onto the middle rope as Holly Arrow is stirring on her hands and feet, who will make it to their feet first?! :lupe:
Stew-O: Well your questions answered fast as Milli Banks is up early, but Holly Arrow has still yet to get to a full vertical base; Milli Banks with the jump here as she comes off the ropes, moving forward to Holly Arrow who FINALLY gets up to her feet, though a little too late for her own comfort; as Holly spins around, RIGHT into a fore-arm shot in the head from Milli Banks!
Flannery McCoy: And Holly Arrow holding her jaw, stumbling back slightly; but in the end I actually think she is alright! YES, she is! Holly Arrow seemingly more irritated than hurt from that forearm as she steps back up to Milli Banks – BEFORE WINDING UP AND HITTING A FOREARM HERSELF, MILLI BANKS CLOCKED IN THE HEAD AS NOW SHE’S STUMBLING BACKWARDS!
Stew-O: And Milli seemingly taking a more brute shot than Holly Arrow did, though still ready to keep on swinging as she collects herself before going back to Holly Arrow; winding up… BEFORE SWINGING AT HOLLY AGAIN WITH MORE POWER THAN HER LAST!
Jake Mercer: And Holly Arrow stumbling back accordingly, though honestly I think she took that one better than she took the last! WIth an even lesser amount of time needed to recover, Holly is ready for her turn to swing and even Milli is a bit shocked at that fact; as Holly Arrow comes forward, AND ROCKS MILLI TO HER CORE WITH ANOTHER FOREARM SHOT!!!
Stew-O: Yikes,,, You can tell Milli felt ALL of that forearm of Holly’;s as she rests on the top rope for a moment, shaking her head in hopes of shaking off what she was just hit with, and whilst I’m not sure she’s fully all right, Milli Banks wobbles forward; ready for ONE more swing at Holly Arrow; and Holly doesn’t seemed fearful at all!
Flannery McCoy: And here she goes… BANG! Right in Holly Arrow’s mouth, and admittedly this one stunned Holly more than the last as she seems to be kissing the inside of her cheek in recoil, but now Holly has grown a GRIN on her face knowing she gets to return the favor; and Holly just exaggeratedly winding up, Milli NEEDS to brace fully AS HOLLY WINDS BACK, SWINGING TOWARDS MILLI’S FACE FOR A HUGE FOREARM SHOT –
Jake Mercer: BUT MILLI DUCKS!!! NO HONOR TO THIS FOREARM DUEL AS MILLI DUCKS THE SHOT; CLEARLY SHOCKING A VERY GAME HOLLY, AS HOLLY’S WHOLE BODY SPINS AROUND; MILLI BANKS CATCHING HOLLY ON THE SPIN THE MOMENT SHE TURNS AROUND WITH A CLUBBING FOREARM FOR SOME ICE ON THE WOUND AS IT CLEARLY STUNS HOLLY SENDING HER ON A BIT OF A BACK PEDAL INTO THE ROPES; THOUGH HOLLY REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM – RIGHT INTO A STANDING DROPKICK FROM MILLI BANKS SENDING HER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!!
Stew-O: The back and forth is real with these two but Milli grabbing the upper hand spot here, as Banks moves forward towards where Holly is down and out, dragging Arrow by her feet towards the center of the ring before placing her down; Milli darting quickly towards the corner as she begins her ascent, thinking big clearly as he mounts onto the top rope; eyeing down on Holly Arrow who is still down on the floor, BEFORE JUMPING OFF HIGH INTO THE AIR; SOARING ABOVE THE RING, BEFORE CRASHING DOWN ONTO HOLLY ARROW WITH A MOONSAULT!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT WAIT, MILLI SOMEHOW HAS HE ARMS WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY OF HOLLY; AND I THINK SHE’S TRYING TO LIFT HER UP?! OH MY GOD… MILLI MANAGES TO LIFT HOLLY ARROW UP OFF THE MOMENTUM INTO A POWERSLAM POSITION – AND MILLI SENDS HOLLY FLYING WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM; CHASING AFTER HOLLY ARROW FOR A COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHR-
Flannery McCoy: AND HOLLY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Jake Mercer: The resilience of Holly Arrow showing vividly now, as Milli Banks can tell there is more work to be done here in order to secure this match-up as Milli gets to her feet, leaving Holly on the mat yet again as she seems to be brainstorming what exactly the next move for her needs to be; though now some reassurance landing on her face as she stands in front of where Holly Arrow rests, before JUMPING into the air and landing down two knees into her midsection; somersaulting back onto her feet – OH, before flipping back and sending another pair of knees into Holly’s core, her patented ‘Bank Roll’ connecting beautifully!
Stew-O: And Milli not wasting any ace up her sleeve here, pulling out all the stops and it’s paying dividends currently as Banks finally gets Holly back up to her feet now via pulling her up by the hair, surely not much care for how ‘gentle’ she could be as she wraps onto Holly’s waist from behind, getting a firm grip before SLAMMING her down with a German Suplex!
Flannery McCoy: Oh and I don’t think Milli’s done yet with a firm grip still very present on Holly’s waist, Milli rotating her body and lifting Holly’s dead weight up with her own again, finding a good stance once more; BEFORE SLAMMING HOLLY DOWN AGAIN WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: And you know what that means, Los Tres! Trio of La Suplex! Milli El Suplex Reina! Yeah, I took a couple spanish classes. :troll: Regardless of however you want to say it, Milli is getting Holly up once more to finish off the three suplex combination; and with Holly now up to a vertical base, it’s safe to say her fate is sealed, with Milli know beginning to lift her up, COMING DOWN WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX –
Stew-O: WAIT! Holly Arrow is bringing her weight down, making Milli struggle to complete the arch onto the Suplex… AND HOLLY MANAGES TO BRING HERSELF BACK DOWN!!! Managing her weight beautifully there as she gets back onto her feet and quickly is Arrow to send some elbows into the temple of Milli; eventually forcing her to let go entirely of Holly’s core as Milli stumbles back for the moment; though Holly stalled in trying to find her own bearings!
Flannery McCoy: And with that gives Milli Banks a chance to shake off those elbow shots early before Holly Arrow could form some offense here, and Milli quickly rushing forward towards Holly the moment she decides to turn back to Banks – BUT AS MILLI TRIES TO SEND A KNEE STRIKE INTO THE JAW OF HOLLY ARROW, HOLLY PICKS HER OUT THE SKY INTO A MAKESHIFT POWERBOMB CARRY, AND MILLI HAS NOWHERE TO ESCAPE!!!
Jake Mercer: NOWHERE TO GO BUT DOWN THAT IS! Milli Banks struggling now as she loops her body down, trying to reverse this into a hurricanrana esque maneuver; but Holly plants her feet to make sure that doesn’t happen, leaving Milli in an arguably worse position than before; tied up in an belly-to-back position, and Holly grinning ear to ear here – AS ARROW SENDS BANKS CRASHING DOWN WITH AN INVERTED MAT SLAM; NIGHT NIGHT MILLI!!
Stew-O: And with that Milli is down and Holly NEEDS to capitalize in order to move forward in this tournament to the finals; as Holly begins to scout Milli from the corner, a very determined glare shooting towards Banks as Milli slowly begins to get up, and Holly Arrow practically SEETHING to get out of the corner, and with Milli finally up; HOLLY ARROW SHOOTS OUT OF THE CORNER, RUNNING FORWARD BEFORE ROLLING AMIDST THE AIR, LOOKING TO LAND HER SIGNATURE KOPPU KICK, ‘SAYONARA’ CONNECTING –
Flannery McCoy: NO, ANOTHER REVERSAL FROM MILLI WHO DUCKS THE KNEE; SENDING HOLLY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO QUICKLY TRY AND SCRAMBLE TO HER FEET, AS MILLI RUNS OVER TO THE ROPES QUICKLY; REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AT THE EXACT MOMENT HOLLY IS BEGINNING TO GET UP, MILLI RUSHING FORWARD TOWARDS HOLLY”S HEAD, CLUTCHING IT BETWEEN HER LEGS AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT BE SEEING HOLLY ARROW GET A ‘NEW BODY’ FROM MILLI AS IT CONNECTS BEAUTIFULLY!!!
….
Jake Mercer: Oh my God… DID HOLLY JUST COUNTER?! I don’t know what just happened, but off the landing; it seemed Holly somehow levied control away from Milli, sending her to faceplant onto the mat… WAIT, BUT HOLLY ARROW HAS THE ARM OF MILLI!!! HOLLY ARROW QUICKLY MOUNTING ATOP OF BANKS AS SHE HOOKS THE ARM AWAY WITH HER LEGS… AND NOW HOLLY IS YEARNING BACK ONTO MILLI’S NECK, GUYS I BELIEVE THIS IS HOLLY’S ‘Vela-Nova’ – AND IT IS!! HER LEBELL LOCK IS SYNCHED IN TIGHT, AND MILLI HAS NOWHERE TO GO IN THE CENTER OF THE RING OFF HER ROUGH LANDING, WHAT CAN MILLI DO?!
Flannery McCoy: Milli’s is floundering here, DESPERATELY trying to make it to the ropes; unable to do much but use her arm to slowly stretch forward to the ropes slowly, and she’s making the travel! SLOWLY BUT SURELY MILLI IS MAKING IT TO THE ROPES; SHE’S GOING TO DO IT, SHE’S GOING TO GET THE ROPE BREAK!!!
Stew-O: OH, BUT HOLLY ARROW IS FED UP; STOPPING THE SUBMISSION MOMENTARILY TO SMASH MILLI’S HEAD INTO THE MAT NUMEROUS TIMES, SHE WANTS THIS AND WANTS IT BAD; HOLLY ARROW PUMMELING THE HEAD OF MILLI, STOPPING HER TRIP TO THE ROPES QUICKLY… AND NOW SHE’S BACK INTO THE SUBMISSION, ‘Vela-Nova’ LOCKED RIGHT BACK IN, AND MILLI ISN’T MOVING ANYMORE, SHE ISN’T MOVING!!!
Jake Mercer: The Referee moving towards Milli, trying to get a sign from her to keep this match going as he looks forward to her hand… AND WHAT’S THIS?! THE REFEREE’S CALLING THE MATCH, IT SEEMS LIKE MILLI BANKS IS TAPPING – AND SHE IS! MILLI TAPPED OUT; HOLLY ARROW WINS!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding)
( ‘Despair: A Hero’s Cure’ by Soraru hits the Speakers as the crowd begins to cheer a great amount for Holly Arrow as they are all out of their seats, loving every bit of how high paced the match ended as Holly begins to let go of the submission rather quickly; moving towards the referee with a huge grin on her face as she points to her hand, the referee quickly grabbing and raising it up as she is crown the official WINNER of this match-up, and subsequently…. )
Stephie Love: The Winner, AND MOVING ON TO THE FINALS OF THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT…. HOOLLLLLLLYYYYYYY ARRRROOOOWWWWWWWW!!
Stew-O: Wow. JUST WOW. The emotions, the willingness to not only survive but THRIVE in this match-up from Holly Arrow; someone who has been counted out by her opposing Elitist’s in this tournament, has now OFFICIALLY secured herself to be a finalist! To say this spot has been deserved is an understatement, coming back from a very game Milli Banks to do what she needed to, BRAVO!
Jake Mercer: Bravo, indeed! Holly Arrow silenced any doubters and now we’re seeing the field being set, and what a match we’re in store for! Holly Arrow, you just need one more win; one win to set 2023 off with a BANG and blaze your spot into history; DO YOU HEAR ME? DO YOU HEAR ME HOLLY ARROW?!
Flannery McCoy: Well, no; I don’t think she can Jake – you’re one man fighting against an entire screaming arena. :cmon:
Jake Mercer: :lupe: …. :mjcry:
Stew-O: Regardless, Milli Banks and Holly Arrow went to war, and what a match it was! Truly well deserved, truly a moment made, TRULY a way to start off 2023 for Holly Arrow, and if she keeps up with this brutality? We could very well be looking at this year’s Empress of Elite already.
( The camera shoots a view of Holly Arrow with her hand raised once more as medical rushes to the corner where Milli Banks resides holding her head, clearly favoring a possible injury from those clubbing forearm shots as Dynasty fades out to commercial.)
(A commercial is shown for health insurance starring Korey Gaines.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with the speakers instantly being met by ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff. The crowd sounds off in a mix of cheers and boos, mostly dominated by the latter, while the camera pans over to the stage. The shot focuses on Madison Kaline, who struts out from Gorilla Position and to centerstage. She has a light smirk on her face, despite that though not boasting her usual arrogance and confidence, all business right now even if she isn’t in a match. She scans the arena for a moment while smoke billows out from underneath her, before then beginning to make her way down the ramp and heading to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!!!!!!!! MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well just to recap what happened last week, on Sunday Night Voltage we saw a match between Hardcore Champion Hikari Kanno and Sheridan Muller. In a very back and forth affair, the match ended in a no contest after Madison Kaline jumped the barricade and attacked both of them, specifically Sheridan. She didn’t waste any time either, afterward making her intentions known and that was that she was going to input herself into the conflict between Sheridan and Harper which has been brewing since the Christmas show.
Flannery McCoy: And if you want me to be honest, I can’t exactly blame her for that, especially after what she said. A battle between two former Women’s Champions is what that inevitable match between Harper and Sheridan was building up to me, one that was bound to be great from the opening bell. Madison was of the belief that she was just better than them and tired of the disrespect, so she made it known that she was going to make it her mission to not just beat one of them, but both of them. I’ll say one thing, it makes for one heck of a match.
Jake Mercer: A former Women’s Champion, a Hall of Famer, and Harper Lee. I couldn’t agree more with Flannery, what a lineup.
Flannery McCoy: “And Harper Lee”?
Jake Mercer: Yes.
(Madison makes her way around the ring, snatching a microphone from the timekeeper’s area before then beginning to make her way up the steel steps and onto the apron. She looks out to the crowd, who make it known how they feel about her, before she slips through the ropes and enters into the ring. She makes her way over to the center while ‘O Fortuna’ begins to come to a close. She stands there for a moment, a small smile on her face while she hears the mostly negative reaction being thrown her way, which was only amplified after what she did on Voltage. She takes a moment, letting them get their noises in, before bringing her microphone up to her mouth and beginning to speak.)
Madison Kaline: Boo me all you want Portland, you can’t say I’m in the wrong for what I did.
(Madison pauses once again to let her words sink in while the crowd continues to amplify itself.)
Madison Kaline: Season 16 I held myself to a very high standard, especially taking into account my legitimacy and what I bring to this company in terms of talent. I was, and still am, of the belief that I am a World Title caliber Elitist, and I have proven that not just in my countless years of wrestling, but in recent memory as well. They were praising my name when I faced Andre Walker and pushed him to his absolute limit at the Midsummer Massacre Marquee Event. I had Tyrone Montgomery singing my praises as well even in defeat when he gave me the opportunity to lead the Dynasty Brand Warfare team at Territorial Invasion. I had Sienna Jade, someone who I believed was a lifelong rival of mine, giving me my props even though I know how much she hates my guts, and it’s just as much as I do her.
Madison Kaline: On the outside it might not look all that impressionable, but when you dig deep into it you start to understand that the journey of Madison Kaline up to this point has only been ramping up. All I need is one moment, one chance to show the world what I am fully capable of, and I walked into 2023 with the intention of doing so right out of the gate. It could’ve been with the Empress of Elite tournament, but nobody looked toward me when taking into consideration who was going to participate in that. Yeah Madison isn’t ready for that, but people like Ashlynn Quinn and Kylie Grace certainly are! It’s a very lopsided claim, but despite that I wasn’t going to let that affect me at all. People weren’t going to invest their stock into me anymore? Fine, I would just take matters into my own hands.
Madison Kaline: What I did to Sheridan was nothing personal, it was just business. Her and Harper having their match against one another is cute and all, but it was taking up valuable space that could’ve been allocated for Elitists like myself who were more worth that slot on the card. I don’t care who they are and what they’ve done, I am automatically walking in with the stinging claim that I am better than them not because I have a big mouth, but because it’s the undeniable truth. So I looked to prove that, and not just because it would be a win under my belt, but because of what Harper and Sheridan mean to this company, and what it would mean for myself if I got one over on them, especially at a Marquee Event.
Madison Kaline: They’re laughing now, but they’ll come to realize soon enough that Madison Kaline is still as malicious and violent as ever, and what I’m going to do to the two of them is going to solidify the future for myself and that’s World Championship bound and overall legend status point blank. I am sick of the disrespect and no matter how much I say it and demand otherwise I will continue to get it, so just like I forced my way into that match, I will force that narrative about me to completely dissipate. No more, because I know for sure what should’ve been known all along, and that’s that Madison Kaline is a damn legend.
(Madison drops her microphone down to the ground while ‘O Fortuna’ begins to pick up once again. The crowd continues their negative reaction toward the Hall of Famer, as she completely ignores it while making her way out of the ring and up the ramp. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)
( As the camera cuts back into the arena, with Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing in front of the camera all smiles staring right into the lens as he awaits her go sign, and after being presented one; begins an impromptu backstage segment here tonight away from the action! )
Michael Belfort: Hey EAW Universe, it is of course I , Backstage Correspondent Michael Belfort here; and please do me the pleasure of welcoming my guest here tonight, the one and only ‘It Girl’ of EAW… Milli Banks!
( The arena crowd cheers emphatically as Milli Banks slowly steps into frame, a frown forming into a weak smile on her face hearing the reception all the way from the arena to the back as Milli Banks stares at Michael Belfort, solemn to say anything and just leaving it at a nod. )
Michael Belfort: Well Milli, I know tonight hasn’t exactly gone the way you wanted it to I’m sure, losing to Holly Arrow earlier and subsequently… You’ve been taken out of the Empress of Elite tournament; I know this might be a tough time to really gather all of your emotions, but if I may ask… How are you feeling?
( As Michael leaned the microphone towards Milli, it took her a moment to formulate a response; seemingly gathering herself for the moment as she sighed, clearly upset, though for the most part it seemed Milli was trying to take her loss tonight with grace as she finally looked to the microphone to address what happened tonight. )
Milli Banks: Look… The question really isn’t HOW am I feeling, because to be honest that question is more than obvious; I’m upset. I’m hurt I was unable to do what I had to do in order to get a win tonight and be able to wipe that SMIRK off of Serenity’s face in the finals like I planned on; and overall? I’m upset I am out of a chance to call myself Empress of Elite. But if I want to be taken out of this tournament, I have to give it to Holly; that girl went out there and tonight? She performed better than I did, that’s how it is and that’s how it’s gonna be; tonight wasn’t my night but that isn’t to take away from me and what I HAVE done, one night doesn’t dictate a year’s worth of time ahead for me to flourish and stunt on this locker-room; showing them exactly why Milli is MONEY! I’ll be back from this, don’t sweat it too much; a momentary sadness doesn’t mean ANY-THANG to the amount of joy and bliss I’ll be feeling on the come around. In due time, Milli Banks still is THE conversation; and the buzz ain’t gonna fade no time soon, my time still on the clock; and I ain’t letting ANY of it be wasted, TUH-RUST me.
Michael Belfort: Well then, it seems to look like you have hope to the future as you should; you’ve got a lot going for you, so I think I can speak for myself AND the EAW Universe when I say that even after this setback, we are all excited for what comes next for Milli Banks!
Milli Banks: And Mike, you all SHOULD. I give the people that ride with me one heck of a time, so to all my fans? They already know it’s up from here. I’m reaching for the stars and I plan on coming down with a whole entire solar system specifically for YOURS TRULY. So yeah, Empress of Elite might not have been mine, but best believe it’s UP for whoever steps up next, Kapeesh –
Michael Belfort: OH!!! :lupe:
( Michael Belfort backs away as a huge BANG! Was heard, as the camera catches a shot of Milli Banks hitting the ground hard off of a wild big boot that connected flush into her temple, as the shot pans to the left to reveal the boot was none other than… )
Sierra Bradford: Oopsie!
( … Sierra Bradford’s, who was clearly flanked by Mei Sasaki as they both grinned ear to ear; with Milli Banks down on the floor holding her jaw; clearly feeling the bulk of that boot shot from Sierra, as the duo of Mei and Sierra crowded around the body of Milli Banks. )
Sierra Bradford: Now I Know you probably thought your newly found absence from this tournament was going to free you of the HELL we promised to put you through, but me and Mei thought about it annndddd… Yeah, we aren’t done yet, Mills’!
( And with that, Milli realized the situation she was put in; and quickly gathering her bearings, Milli grabbed the legs of Sierra Bradford; trying to tackle her down to the floor and gain some sort of momentum in this clear two on one attack; though with one clubbing blow to the back from Mei Sasaki, Milli’s momentum was crushed as the two began STOMPING out Milli on the floor! )
Sierra Bradfordi: We TOLD you what’d happen if you went down this road with us; and you think you were just going to get off EASY? The Queen Bees RUN everything, and if you couldn’t get it then? We’re going to DRILL it into your head now, Mei!
Mei Sasaki: On it.
( And with that, Sierra quickly grabbed Milli up, holding both of her hands back forcing her into a state of vulnerability as Mei Sasaki backed up to give Sierra space; grinning ear to ear right in the face of Milli Banks – BEFORE SPINNING BACK ON HER HEEL TO SEND A ‘DISINTEGRATION’ KICK, NOW FLOORING MILLI AGAIN AS SIERRA LET GO! Banks now not responding in the slightest as the camera panned to Banks’s eyes being entirely shut, with Mei and Sierra standing over her. )
Sierra Bradford: Oh Milli… You don’t get it do you? It will NEVER be your era as long as the Queen Bees are in EAW, because if we’re here? It will forever and always be OUR Era.
Mei Sasaki: Your foolishness is the bane of your entire existence; this is just yet ANOTHER warning we’re going to give you – this is us playing nice, you don’t want to see the real damage we’re willing to do. Stay out of our way, for your own interest; otherwise? Expect us not to just come to leave you incapacitated; we’re to the point that the willingness to do WAY worse is more than fulfilled. Nighty night.
( And with that, Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford scramble off as officials rush forward to help Milli Banks who was in a heap of her own peril, the camera panned over on just Milli now with referees and backstage correspondents looking to help her up as the camera faded elsewhere in the arena, with the Queen Bees versus Milli Banks problems reaching new highs. )
( ‘first death’ by TK begins to play out as the crowd erupts in cheers; supporting on a crowd favorite of EAW in Jay Jerry Johnson as he slowly makes his way out to the ring, a head full of determination and will as Jay acknowledges some of the front row fans carrying signs with his name on it as well as wearing his merchandise; before finishing his journey to the ring by rolling inside, getting a good shot in front of the hard-cam as he stands smack dab in the middle of the ring; soaking in the moment, before getting back into position inside of his corner, awaiting his opponent. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING FIRST… WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS… HE IS, ‘THE CHARISMATIC ARTIST’ JAY JERRRYYYYYYY JOHNNSOONNNNNN!!!
Flannery McCoy: How can’t you love Jay? He is EVERYTHING an Elitist needs to be, coming out here every night and giving a show nonetheless of the situations he’s put in; truly an underrated talent in this company; but underrated no more, as he comes into this King of Elite tournament for GOLD and nothing less; well deserved, and if he can get pass PJ Hendrx closer towards the Finals? Best believe I have his back to win it all!
Jake Mercer: No doubt his experience and overall skill has elevated in his time from starting in this company to now, and all that matters is that his work has clearly been seen and acknowledged to the point that he’s here now; and no doubt has he earned it! What matters from now is to keep his head up, don’t sweat it, and push past his opponent in order to win BIG and get closer to a huge accolade on his otherwise young career!
( as ‘first death’ by TK faded out, ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar blasted through the speakers with a almost identical amount of cheers from the crowd who clearly had no clear favorite tonight, as PJ Hendrx began his descent down to the ring, eyeing up his opponent with a huge grin on his face as he shimmied down all the way to the apron, clearly feeling himself before sliding into the middle of the ring, never stopping his gaze from Jay who kept his eyes just as closely to PJ, Hendrx going towards his own corner before awaiting the bell to begin the match. )
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT…WEIGHING IN AT 195 POUNDS… HE IS, ‘PHANTOM’ P-J HENDRRXXXXXX!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And TALK about an up and comer! PJ Hendrx has had a journey here, coming in here in this bunch of New Era Elitist; and in my opinion? He’s been a GEM shining amongst them! Becoming one of the most talked about and most talented of the bunch, we’re seeing the makings of a possible top face in this business; and right now he’s doing a lot for his case!
Jake Mercer: Agreed, this man has been working his butt off for this moment and honestly he deserves every bit of it! Though remember the challenge and task at hand that he has to go through; this is a clear match to see if the rookie can beat out in this case… The veteran; and I don’t think Jay has any plans to give PJ a win to stop his own momentum, I’m just here to see the fireworks erupt!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Flannery McCoy: And we are underway in this Second Round King of Elite match-up between Jay Jerry Johnson and PJ Hendrx, two wild card performers ready to put it all on the line for King of Elite pride; as Jay and PJ begin to make their way out of their personal corners, both circling towards the center of the ring; looking for a lock-up – OH, but Jay slipping past PJ into a waist hold on Hendrx; looking for a possible German Suplex, but luckily enough for PJ he manages to send a couple elbows back into the temple of Jay, disabling him from landing the maneuver!
Jake Mercer: Jay starting off early trying to get the upperhand but stopped quickly by PJ, as Hendrx grabs the hand of Jay, breaking the hold quickly though keeping grasp on Johnson’s arm, PJ pushing away Jay – BEFORE REELING HIM BACK IN QUICKLY FOR A RIPCORD KNEE LIFT THAT LANDS PERFECTLY ONTO JAY, YIKES!
Stew-O: And a great counter from PJ who lets go of Jay for the moment, Johnson still wobbly on his feet as PJ runs to the ropes opposing Johnson’s side, JUMPING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AND I THINK PJ’S LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER ONTO JAY – BUT PJ MISSES DUE TO A DODGE FROM JAY AND CRASH LANDS ONTO THE MAT; JAY JERRY JOHNSON PULLING PJ UP BY HIS HEAD, BEFORE DIVING HIM BACK INTO THE CANVAS WITH AN ARM TRAP HEADLOCK DRIVER!!
Jake Mercer: PJ’s skull being bounced off the canvas like that can’t bode well for his chances in this match, but it works well for Jay’s! :mjgrin: Regardless, Jay seems to be ready and well to capitalize as he wastes no time grasping the neck of PJ and mounting atop his back; reeling backwards, and guys I think that’s a modified Camel Clutch he’s looking to put in – AND IT IS! Jay with the camel clutch on PJ in the center of the ring as Hendrx with nowhere to go and ideally for Jay, the only option to tap!
Flannery McCoy: Though ideally for PJ, finding a way out like any other Elitist is also an option! And that’s what he’ll try now as he slowly begins to scoot his body forward towards the ropes; though with surely a lot of tribulation en route as Jay is desperately trying to pull him back whilst inflicting a world of pain onto him; PJ not giving up nonetheless as he continues his trip, before FINALLY getting to the bottom rope, forcing Jay to let go with a five count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Jake Mercer: And notice Jay take the BULK of that Five count? It’s the small thing you have to do in order to secure yourself a spot in this tournament, knowing to take the extra steps in order to grasp victory; THAT right there is what you need to succeed as PJ wisely rolls out of the ring away from Jay’s offense, but I don’t fear his safety is secure for long!
Flannery McCoy: Agreed as Jay Jerry Johnson seems to be following close behind, exiting the ring from under the bottom rope as PJ begins to crawl away from where Jay exited, Johnson making a quick stride towards him to disallow any rest time here as Johnson goes to grab PJ by his hair –
Stew-O: OH BUT PJ WITH A WILD SUCKER PUNCH THAT MANAGES TO LAND ON JAY; STAGGERING HIM FOR THE MOMENT!! Jay holding his jaw, nursing it closely seemingly rather more irritated than before as he paces with more intent than before towards PJ, looking to grab him yet again; but again It’s PJ who denies Jay , this time sending Jay RIGHT into the barricade aside of him; stunning Johnson entirely!
Jake Mercer: And now PJ with the chance as he peels Jay off the barricade quickly; though spinning him around, JUST TO LAUNCH HIM INTO THE BARRICADE AGAIN – ONLY TO LIFT HIM BACK UP , PJ CARRYING JAY ON HIS SHOULDER BEFORE DROPPING HIM ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON, JAY GETTING THE BULK OF THAT PAIN RIGHT INTO HIS SPINE!
Flannery McCoy: I always hate watching those bumps… Do it again! PJ leaving it all out there early as he doesn’t give Jay any time to recover, bringing him back up to his feet before sending him back inside the ring, following close behind after as Jay tries to roll back out of the other side of the ring, with PJ making sure Jay isn’t given any sort of escape as Hendrx brings him right back up to his feet, slinging Johnson into the ropes as Jay rebounds back, hurdling back towards PJ – AND PJ HENDRX WITH THE SPEAR! SPEAR TO THE CORE OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON, AS WE SEE THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH-UP!!!
OOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOO–
Stew-O: AND A KICKOUT FROM JAY! KICKOUT FROM JAY EARLY ON IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Jay staying alive in this match for the opportunity at hand as PJ Hendrx just has to brush it off and try it again, PJ giving Jay a taste of his own medicine as it seems he’s trying to lock in a submission of his own – AND HE DOES! PJ laying on a Backpack Chokehold on the ground directly onto Jay as he has nowhere to go in the center of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Jay trying now not to struggle too much knowing it’ll sap the energy right out of him, but also taking in the fact he NEEDS to get to the ropes now before it’s too late as PJ makes sure all his weight is dead onto Jay in order to make the trip even harder; Johnson stuck in the middle of the ring with seemingly nowhere to go!
Stew-O: And the crowd just TRYING to will on Jay knowing he can’t go down now, the referee in the ring calling out to see if Jay wants to quit as Johnson has stopped stirring in the ring; and if PJ keeps this up, he can very well have the Finals in his view!
Jake Mercer: No movement here as the Crowd is chanting the name of Jay Jerry Johnson; wanting to will him back up to his feet – AND IT SEEMS AS IF THEIR HOPES FOR HIM HAVE REACHED JAY, AS JOHNSON IS SOMEHOW LIFTING HIMSELF UP AS WELL AS PJ ON HIS BACK; JAY IS SOMEHOW ON HIS FEET RIGHT NOW, HOW IS HE DOING THIS?!
Stew-O: And Jay not done as he begins to backpedal fast, PJ dormant on his back with nowhere to go – AND PJ JUST SLAMMED INTO THE CORNER; JAY MAKING THE SEPARATION BY SMASHING PJ IN THE CORNER AND FORCING HIM TO LET GO, GETTING HIMSELF OUT OF THE SUBMISSION!
Flannery McCoy: What a plan by Jay, as he tries to get his breath back; with PJ trying to shake off the bump in the corner, though Hendrx is the first to get ahold of himself; PJ rushing forward towards Jay – BUT JAY DUCKS IT! JAY DUCKS PJ WHO WAS INCOMING AS HENDRX SPINS AROUND BACK TOWARDS HIM; RIGHT INTO AN OVERHEAD ENZIGURI FROM JAY THAT LANDS FLUSH ONTO PJ!
Jake Mercer: And Jay keeping the pressure on here, knowing what’s on the line as PJ stands on wobbly limbs, somehow keeping himself on his feet; Jay rushing forward –’PRETTY VISITOR!!!!!’ THE JUMPING CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE ONTO PJ HENDRX CONNECTS FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON; AND NOW JOHNSON INTO THE COVER FOR THIS MATCH-UP!!!!
OOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRR—
Flannery McCoy: BUT IT’S PJ! PJ KICKS OUT!!!
Stew-O: Somehow, Someway, PJ kicks out of Jay’s signature cutter! Jay is seemingly just as shocked as all of us; not expecting the resilience from PJ to show out in what could be an even IRRITATED facade now from Jay, nevertheless, he NEEDS to push through how he feels in order to maintain a chance here tonight! And that’s what he seems to be doing now as he pulls PJ up to his feet now, with seemingly big plans for him now as he ripcords PJ into the corner; Hendrix being pushed onto the inside as Johnson PULLS PJ onto the top rope by lifting him up, and this offense looks to be going sky high!
Jake Mercer: Sky high is right as Jay seems to be following PJ right onto that top rope; Johnson pummeling some forearm shots into the skull of PJ to make sure he doesn’t try struggling in such a precarious position as now we see both these Elitist in a VERY scary position on the top rope now, no room for error from either one of these two as Jay wraps one hand around the neck of PJ; looking to hit something big here – AND IT’S JAY NOW FROM THE TOP ROPE LEAPING OFF WITH PJ IN TOW, LOOKING FOR A SPANISH FLY… AND IT CONNECTS! THE SPANISH FLY CONNECTS ONTO PJ AND BOTH OF THESE ELITIST ARE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING TAKING SOME RECOIL FROM THE HUGE LEAP!!!
Flannery McCoy: And Jay clearly taking a bulk of pain from that maneuver, nevertheless, after regaining his composure – HE FINDS PJ IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, CRAWLING ONTO HIM; AND NOW HE’S IN THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHRREE-
Stew-O: AND HE KICKS OUT!!! PJ KICKS OUTT!!!
Jake Mercer: And you HAVE to think, was the time wasted from Jay catering to his own pain enough for PJ to muster the energy to kick out?! You’d have to assume such, but nevertheless the fact of the matter is PJ is here and here to stay for the moment and a spot in this King of Elite tournament!
Flannery McCoy: Jay is annoyed, he is pissed, and now he is trying to call this match FOR GOOD! As now Jay seems to be sizing PJ up for something big here, Johnson stepping back into the corner as he is calling up PJ Hendrx who can’t help but follow that call, Jay seething from the corner, ready to go as PJ finally gets to his feet; JAY RUNNING FORWARD TOWARDS HIM THE MOMENT PJ SPINS AROUND, JOHNSON GOING AIRBORN OFF HIS FEET AS HE LIFTS HIS BOOT UP FOR HIS ROCKET KICK, HIS ‘FLAMBAGE SHOT’ LOOKING TO CONNECT BEAUTIFULLY –
Stew-O: BUT PJ DENIES IT! PJ DENIES THE KICK AS HE DUCK IT JUST BARELY, SENDING JAY FLYING TO CRASH LAND ON HIS BACK! Jay missing his finale blow here and now he needs to recover quickly or else it’ll be too late!
Jake Mercer: But PJ scrambling up to solid footing just as much as Jay is, though PJ getting the upper hand here as Johnson clambers up to his feet – RIGHT INTO A ROLLING KOPPU KICK FROM PJ TO STUN HIM!!! PJ HAS JAY STUNNED, PJ HAS JAY RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDS HIM AND NOW PJ NEEDS TO SECURE! As PJ aims forward, noticing Jay is still up on his feet he make sure Jay doesn’t get any leeway – AND HIT’S JAY WITH A HUGE RECOIL; BOUNCING JAY INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, THIS IS IT! THIS IS HIS MOMENT!
Flannery McCoy: And with Jay down and out, PJ is quick to get towards the apron, splitting the middle rope and going just onto the apron SURVEYING Jay Jerry Johnson whomst is slowly getting up, the crowd even cheering on PJ in the moment as he has to call his shot; and here he comes to try – AND HE DOES! SPLITTING THE ROPE QUICKLY AS HE FORCES HIMSELF FORWARD OFF OF IT, LOOKING FOR HIS ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION’ SPRINGBOARD SPEAR… AND HE HITS IT! ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION’ CONNECTS AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS DOWN AND OUT, PJ GOING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stephie Love: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. P.J HENDRXXXXX!!!!
( ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar struck the speakers as the crowd went ablaze, the referee lifting PJ up quickly and raising his hand high as PJ struggled to get up fully for the moment, but managed to get himself vertical; with Jay Jerry Johnson rolling out to ring in agony. )
Stew-O: WOW. And look I had hopes for PJ, but even I didn’t expect that! Bravo to the young man; as he is now ONE STEP CLOSER to the big one, and a possible win for this whole entire tournament!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx showed out tonight no doubt, WHAT a performance from both these Elitist; but what a way to close out this match on PJ’s side, showing just how much he has to offer in this company by taking on the more experienced Elitist of the two and not only so, but WINNING!
Flannery McCoy: He surely shocked us all, but soon enough these type of things won’t shock us at all; when giving performances like this consistently? It’ll only come time that it becomes regular. Bravo again, and congratulations to PJ Hendrx for moving on in this King of Elite tournament!
( The camera showed once more a now extremely jubilated PJ Hendrx with his hand held high, and Jay Jerry Johnson who was distraught and in a world of pain being helped up by medical as the scene faded to black. )
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage, with the main event being a second round match in Voltage’s King of Elite bracket between Drake King and Theron Nikolas.)
(Back by the ring, ‘Trophies’ by Drake blares out. Almost instantly, the fans are up on their feet, cheering and rallying. Chants of ‘Woso’ can be heard. What was already a loud reception grows even louder once the Interwire Champion himself steps out on stage. Joso grins, teeth shining just like the championship he has on full display on his arm. He makes his way down the ramp, high-fiving, and fist-bumping a few fans along the way. Dressed in his wrestling gear, he slides into the ring.)
Stew-O: Out first is the Interwire Champion and the 2022 EAW Rookie of the Year, Joso. This young man has had an incredible year prior, defining a season for many new signees to follow for years to come. He was able to defeat Amir Yusuf last week in order to move on to the second round of the King of Elite tournament. Tonight, he goes up against Bronson Daniels for the chance to move on to the semi-finals.
Jake Mercer: Joso is on to big things, though last week might’ve been the most volatile night he’s had in his career despite besting Amir Yusuf. The Ace and the Irreplaceable have carried on their grudge against each other into the new year, and last Dynasty, Amir attacked him after the match. Suffice it to say that the beef between these two never died down. It’s only gotten worse!
Flannery McCoy: Amir and Joso were never ones to mince words or fists. We saw that last week. Earlier in the night, Amir spoke about his actions and pretty much had no regrets, essentially saying that Joso had it coming to him. Now, it seems like he’s intent on coming after the Interwire Champion and taking the championship from him. I honestly can’t help but have a bad feeling about this.
Jake Mercer: Well, the bigger the star, the bigger the target. Even without Amir Yusuf, Joso has plenty of eyes on him seeing as how he is the only active champion involved in the King of Elite tournament! And Joso made his ambitions clear: he wants to be the second Elitist after Andre Walker to win this tournament and get a matching crown for his title.
Stew-O: Ambitious indeed, especially when his second-round opponent is someone who is all about ambition. Bronson Daniels is no stranger to big-time moments like these, and tonight, it’s going to be either him or Joso moving on to the third round. However, it seems like Joso wants to get a few things out of the way.
(The cameras cut back to the ring where Joso stands, microphone in hand. His theme fades. The fans continue to cheer him on as Joso scans the arena. A pleased look surfaces. When the fans start to settle down, that’s when he speaks.)
Joso: Are we surprised?
(Joso smirks.)
Joso: Nah, really. Are we surprised? Of course, I was going to beat Amir. Of course, I would beat a guy I already had a match against and defeat. Let’s not be dumb here. It may be a new year and all of that, but some things don’t just change magically. Amir had the same resolutions as last year, and look at where it got him. He wanted to bring up the past, say how things are his destiny this, inevitable that, being the same entitled, whiny brat he always been yet never backing it up when it counts. Then, when he loses and misses out on another grand opportunity, it’s back to the woe-is-me schtick, crying about how the ‘system’ ain’t want him to win anyways. Like, huh? As if mad people ain’t voted for him for an award he ain’t deserved in the first place.
(Joso shakes his head.)
Joso: Amir has always been a sore loser. He doesn’t learn from his losses like he claims he does. If he did, then he’d be in a much better position in his career and he certainly wouldn’t have attacked me after our match last week. I saw his little interview too, tryna justify what he did and all that, but honestly? No amount of reaching is going to change the fact that Amir Yusuf is as bitter as they come. He’s insecure and jealous, and the craziest part is I ain’t even had to expose him as such! He did it to himself, just like he always does. Now, he thinks he can puff out his chest and say that he got one-up on me. He wanna be tough so bad when he doesn’t have a spine. It’s been the same song and dance with him for a good while now. He ain’t gonna change. He’s gonna keep crying and complaining and then lash out like a bad little kid that doesn’t get what they want when they don’t deserve to be rewarded for anything. But hey, since Amir wants to act so childish, then I’m gonna have to step up and go from being his big bro to his actual father.
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!
(Joso shrugs and throws his hands up.)
Joso: Trust me, Amir is gonna get what’s coming to him soon enough. He got that much-needed attention from me. However, unlike him, I don’t take my eyes off a prize so easily. So, my son, as much as you would like for your rightful dad to play with you, we’re gonna put that off to the side because I have things to do that are far more important than you have and ever will be. Tonight, I got my match against Bronson Daniels in the second round of the King of Elite tournament. Once again, I’m getting the chance to face off against a man who stood in my way of getting the opportunity to become a double champion. I coulda been had the Heavyweight Championship around my waist right now. I could’ve accomplished so much more in my rookie season than I already have. Now, Bronson is my opponent again, threatening to take everything that I have worked hard towards away from me. I’m sure he’d like to do that. Bronson been feigning to be at the peak of the mountain again. That ain’t a secret. And shoot, I can respect it, cause I’m the same way. We’re both ambitious, set high standards for ourselves, and push ourselves to outdo what we do each and every week. However, this time around? Bronson ain’t moving on. He isn’t going to beat me.
Joso: I said that this year was going to be the year where I solidify myself as the undisputed ace of this brand, and I fully intend on doing just that by winning this tournament. Being able to become the Interwire Champion and winning Rookie of the Year has been incredible, but I don’t stop at incredible. I stop at undeniable. And the only way I’m gonna get there is by becoming King of Elite and going to Pain for Pride.
(Joso gives a confident nod of the head.)
Joso: Is it a tall task for me to take? Maybe. However, when I defeated Ruler and Andre Walker for this title, I was left with a big gap to fill. Andre has left his mark on this title, and what he was able to do last year by winning King of Elite while being the champion is the stuff of legends. Ain’t no doubt in my mind that I can not only replicate that but surpass it. I proved many people wrong, set the bar high, and now, it’s time for me to back it all up. So, tonight? I’m going to do everything to make sure that I beat Bronson Daniels and make sure that I become the King.
(The crowd cheers.)
Joso: And once all of that is sad and done, Amir, you better believe that I’m going to come for your head. You aren’t gonna keep jumping me and thinking that things are gonna be sweet for you. After I’m done winning this tournament, you’ve got a receipt coming your way.
(Joso puts the microphone off to the side and gets in his corner. He starts to warm up for his match.)
Stew-O: Big words there from Joso. He has his eyes set on this tournament, but he says that he is going to come after Amir once the King of Elite is over!
Jake Mercer: Well, if it wasn’t over with these before, it wasn’t going to be over now. Still, Joso may have to be a little careful. Amir’s shown already that he’s willing to go after him.
Flannery McCoy: Let’s just hope that he doesn’t come out and try to pull anything here, though. We’ve got a huge second-round match in this tournament, and it’s happening now!
Stephie Love: The following is a quarter finals round match in the King of Elite 2023 tournament…
Stephie Love: ALREADY IN THE RING! From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds… HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… “THE NEW ERA,” JOOOOSOOOOO!!
Stew-O: It is without a shadow of a doubt that Joso has taken advantage of every opportunity that has come to him throughout this season. There was zero surprise when he was announced as Most Improved Elitist Of The Year and Rookie of the Year. Joso has taken the world of professional wrestling by storm.. and this has been his breakout season.. and it would definitely be a cherry on top if he is able to beat Bronson Daniels tonight and get one step forward to being King Of Elite in addition to what he did in September when he was the one who broke Andre Walker’s record-breaking EAW Interwire Championship reign.
Jake Mercer: Joso has marked Friday Nights as his territory.. and he is here to stay.. and he is here to take what he believes is his. He has an impressive sophomore season here in Elite Answers Wrestling and we are excited to see what he will continue to do because what Joso has done so far has yet to scratch the surface on what Joso intends on doing in this company. Defeating Bronson Daniels will be a humongous victory for him.. but if he is able to beat PJ Hendrx next week and advance to the finals.. and win that very finals.. Joso will undoubtedly be at the pinnacle of this industry without even winning the world championship!
( “Runnin” by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is heard playing through the speakers, with the Portland crowd bursting into even more in cheers and they grow louder as they see Bronson Daniels appear on the entranceway. Bronson stands on the stage before marching down towards the ring and into the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 210 pounds.. HE IS “THE ANSWER,” BROOONNSONNN.. DAAAAANNNIELLSS!!!
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels advanced to the quarter-finals using his vicious elbow to put away Solomon Stane whereas Joso defeated Amir Yusuf via roll-up. Bronson Daniels had the opportunity to be ringside and commentate over Joso versus Amir Yusuf.. Therefore, he had a close-up examination on both men’s abilities and surely he knows what type of fight he is getting into with the current EAW Interwire Champion.
Jake Mercer: Joso might be a little roughened up after Amir Yusuf was salty of the first round result and laid Amir Yusuf out in the middle of the ring. However, Joso thrives in these type of situations and he is more than ready to fight Bronson Daniels for the right to face PJ Hendrx in the Dynasty semi-finals for the King of Elite tournament. Bronson Daniels has stated on multiple occasions that he refuses to start 2023 without something to show for his ability.. and becoming King of Elite is the perfect way to compensate for what he’s done since he returned at the beginning of the season. He just has a huge obstacle in Joso.. but Bronson Daniels has competed against the toughest and the baddest.. So, he is more than ready tonight!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: This match is underway as Joso and Bronson Daniels take a stroll around the ring before engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Joso drops down to a knee and successfully takes down Daniels with a waist takedown. Both men in a feeling out process. With this being a match between two incredibly agile and athletic competitors.. this could be as evenly-matched as evenly-matched could be. It will all come down to who will make the most costly mistake.. and now Bronson Daniels makes his way out of the waist hold by flooring his opponent with a headlock takedown. Joso tries for a leg scissors to quickly escape, but Daniels cleverly angles his head to avoid and bridges his hips to administer more leverage on the headlock.
Flannery McCoy: Joso begins to fight out of the headlock, but Daniels stops whatever resistance he had in plan by flooring him with a snapmare takedown.. followed by a straight kick to the back.. and now Daniels digs his right knee into the collarbone and applies a chinlock. Bronson with torque as he pulls back on his head, but it doesn’t take long for Joso to start showing some resistance. Daniels sees this and drives his knee into the lower back of Joso. It sends him back down to one knee, but Joso immediately gets back up and drops down! AND HE STUNS DANIELS WITH A SIT-OUT JAWBREAKER! Joso extends his legs and hooks Bronson’ right leg and takes him down. He hovers over and applies a front-face hold on the former EAW Interwire Champion. The current EAW Interwire Champion’s front face lock doesn’t last for long as Bronson grabs a hold of his right arm and twists away from the hold.
Jake Mercer: Bronson Daniels wrenching his right arm, twisting and applying torque… which prompts Joso to roll forward, twist and perform a front-kip up.. using that play to reverse it to which Daniels is now on the receiving end of the wrist lock. Daniels moves closer towards the ropes and grabs onto the top rope.. and HE EXECUTES A BACKFLIP.. AND REVERSES THE WRIST LOCK INTO HIS FAVOUR! BUT DANIELS NOW TRANSITIONS INTO A BACK SUPLEX! JOSO NOTICES HE IS NEAR THE ROPES AND STEPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE TO LAND ONTO HIS FEET! Bronson turns around and consumes a forearm smash to the face… Bronson pipes back with a knife-edge chop straight to the chest! Joso with a forearm smash! Bronson with a knife-edge chop! Forearm smash! Knife-edge chop! Forearm smash! Knife-edge chop! Forearm smash! Forearm smash! Forearm smash! Joso gets the best of his opponent here before Bronson Daniels starts to overwhelm him with knife-edge chops! He connects with five consecutive chops before Joso finally blocks one of them.. He hooks his arm and goes under it.. around the waist! and hoists him up for a BACK SUPLEX! Bronson Daniels lands on his feet and pushes him into the ropes!
Stew-O: Joso rebounds off the ropes; Bronson Daniels leapfrogs over. Joso rebounds off the ropes again; Bronson Daniels with a backwards leapfrog.. Joso rebounds off the ropes and is building momentum! DANIELS JUMPS UP AND GOES FOR HIS LEAPING BACK ELBOW! BUT JOSO CATCHES HIM AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX BACKBREAKER.. AND JOSO NOW FOLLOWS IT UP! AND QUICKLY SENDS HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! JOSO HOVERS OVER FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!
ON-
Jake Mercer: The referee couldn’t even get his hand to reach the canvas as now Joso quickly grabbed the arm that Daniels used to kick out and tried for a cross armbreaker! Bronson Daniels is one step ahead as he applies a monkey grip to prevent Joso from fulfilling the full extension of the armbar! Daniels is able to use his hips and get his body weight pressing on top of Joso.. and grabs his right knee and reverses his armbreaker attempt into an ankle lock. This is the same submission that won Bronson Daniels the championship that Joso currently has! Once Bronson Daniels drops down and applies the leg scissors to supplement the ankle lock.. It could be over, but Joso is able to twist his hips and kick the face of Daniels from down below! Kick after kick, after kick, but Daniels adapts and snatches him on the ground! AND DANIELS PLUCK THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION OFF THE CANVAS FOR A DEADLIFT POWERBOMB!! OH NO!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO FORTUNATELY FIGHTS OUT OF THE POWERBOMB POSITION BY DIRECTING PUNCHES ONTO HIS SCALP! and now Joso lunges forward into the direction of Daniels to deliver a bicycle kick! Bronson ducks under it! Joso turns around and Bronson ducks under his arm and wraps his arm around his waist with a single-arm gutwrench! AND DANIELS SEEKS TO ATTEMPT THE RANHEI! BUT JOSO BRILLIANTLY STEPS OVER BRONSON’ FOOT AND TURNS COUNTERS THE RANHEI ATTEMPT INTO THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH! Joso sports a huge smirk on her face in admiration to his own handy work as he has Daniels caught up in an entanglement of torture! Joso now balls up his fist and punches his ribs to add more to the abdominal stretch! He stops punching and simply digs his knuckles into the ribs, and this could be over before it could even really going!
Stew-O: AND BRONSON DANIELS SUDDENLY BREAKS OUT OF THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH!! AND FLIPS JOSO FORWARD! BUT JOSO HAD IT SCOUTED, FLIPPED FORWARD ONTO HIS FEET AND SLAMS DANIELS FACE FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS.. AND CINCHES IN THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! DANIELS’ COUNTER OUT OF THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH ULTIMATELY LED HIM INTO THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR! JOSO ONE STEP AHEAD OF BRONSON DANIELS YET AGAIN.. AND DANIELS IS REACHING HIS OTHER ARM FOR THE ROPES.. BUT HE IS NOWHERE NEAR! BUT WAIT! DANIELS NOTICES HIS RIGHT FOOT IS RIGHT BESIDE THE BOTTOM ROPE!! HE IS ABLE TO TURN HIS BODY AND KICK UP OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND ROLL UP TO HIS FEET!! AND BRONSON DANIELS DROPS DOWN!! AND FLOORS JOSO WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Both competitors don’t take long to get up to their feet.. AND BRONSON DANIELS LANDS A SWEET KNIFE-EDGE CHOP RIGHT AGAINST THE CHEST OF JOSO!! JOSO REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND LUNGES TO CONNECT WITH A VICIOUS FOREARM SMASH!! BRONSON DANIELS WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!!! JOSO GOES FOR A FOREARM SMASH.. BUT DANIELS BEATS HIM TO THE CHASE AND FOLLOWS HIS CHOP WITH A FOREARM SMASH! JOSO IS BACKED UP INTO THE CORNER! BRONSON WITH A CHOP! FOLLOWED BY A FOREARM SMASH!! AND A CHOP!! AND FOREARM SMAS-
Flannery McCoy: BOOM! JOSO STRIKES HIS KNEE WITH A SUPERKICK!! BRONSON DROPS DOWN TO ONE KNEE AND EATS A FLUSH SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! BRONSON IS SAT ON THE CANVAS AS JOSO NOW QUICKLY SITS HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! JOSO DIVES OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND FLATTENS BRONSON INTO THE CANVAS WITH A DIVING FOOT STOMP!! JOSO CRAWLS OVER AND HOOKS THE RIGHT LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW-
Jake Mercer: Bronson Daniels throws his shoulder up! AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY GRABS THE ARM AND APPLIES THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR! This is what we are talking about heading into this match. The rookie is always the opportunist—and Joso has definitely done his homework well and is taking advantage of every opportunity that comes towards him! Joso administers more torque than ever to the fujiwara armbar! BUT DANIELS IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD AND GRAB HIS OTHER ARM!! AND HE PULLS HIM TO SPLIT HIS JAW INTO PIECES WITH A KNEE STRIKE!! COUPLE GOALS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! JOSO IS BENT IN HALF, ARCHING BACKWARDS AS HE COULD BE KNOCKED OUT! DANIELS ROLLS HIM OVER AND SHOOTS THE HALF!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK-OUT! AND DANIELS GIVING HIM A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AS HE GRABS THE ARM HE USED TO KICK OUT! AND HE HOOKS IT.. AND RAINS DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH ARM-TRAPPED ELBOW STRIKES! ONE AFTER ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER.. JOSO IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO BLOCK ONE ELBOW AND HOLD ONTO HIS ARM!! BUT DANIELS USES HIS KNEE AND DRIVES IT AGAINST THE BACK OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION’S HEAD! AND NOW DANIELS SET HIM UP!! AND BLASTS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! JOSO COLLAPSES CHEST FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS! AND NOW DANIELS RUNS AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! AND HE SHOOTS UPWARDS TO DESCEND ONTO THE CHAMPION WITH THE FLYING BRONSONS!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO SNATCH HIM IN MID-AIR INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION.. AND HE TRANSITIONS INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! OH NO!! AND HE WHIPS HIM OVER TO THE SIDE!! AND DRILLS HIM WITH THE MODIFIED EMERALD FLOWSION! RUNAWAY CONNECTS AS JOSO HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! WILL JOSO ADVANCE TO THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!! Joso gets up to his feet and looks around the venue. He looks down and brings Daniels up to his feet.. He drives his knee into his head multiple times before placing his head in between his legs.. AND HE SIGNALING FOR THE CRIMSON PEAK!! LOOKING TO MAKE PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL PROUD!! BUT NOT TODAY AS DANIELS FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!! AND HE CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW!! JOSO DROPS DOWN ONTO ONE KNEE!! AND BRONSON DANIELS RUNS TOWARDS HIM!! HE JUMPS UP AND STEPS OFF HIS KNEE!! AND HE SMASHES JOSO WITH A STEP-UP BATMAN PUNCH! BATMAN PUNCH RIGHT TO THE JAW AND DANIELS FALLS FOR THE COVER!! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
TH-
Flannery McCoy: NO!! Bronson Daniels caught Joso off guard with that devastating batman punch right to the jaw, but Joso remains alive in this match. Bronson Daniels crawls over to a corner of the ring while Joso is laid out beside the ropes. Daniels is crouching in the corner, waiting for Joso to get up to a vertical base.. and I think we know what he is looking to do right now! DANIELS MOVES IN ROTATION FOR THE CHROME HEART TAGS! BUT JOSO GETS UNBELIEVABLE HEIGHT AS HE LANDS A PRECISION BICYCLE KICK ONTO THE TOP OF BRONSON’S HEAD! BRONSON DROPS TO THE GROUND AS JOSO IS NOW THE MAN WHO IS WAITING IN ANTICIPATION!! BRONSON GETS UP OFF BOTH KNEES!! AND GETS GROUNDED WITH A SLING BLADE! AND NOW JOSO JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!! AND LEAPS AWAY WITH A MOONSAULT!
Jake Mercer: AND BRONSON DANIELS LIFTS BOTH OF HIS KNEES UP! AND JOSO DIVES DOWN ONTO EVERY SURFACE AREA OF THAT KNEE AS DANIELS IMMEDIATELY ADMINISTERS AN ARM TRIANGLE CHOKEHOLD ON THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! BRONSON DANIELS CINCHES IN THE CHOKEHOLD AS HE CUTS OFF THE AIR SUPPLY THROUGH THE NECK!! JOSO WIGGLING HIS FINGER AND TRYING TO GET HIS FEET ONTO THE ROPES, BUT TO NO AVAIL! JOSO MIGHT SUBMIT, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT IS IN HIS ITINERARY TODAY AS HE STARTS TO GET HIS FEET PLANTED ON THE CANVAS! What in the world is Joso thinking here?
Stew-O: I THINK I KNOW! He plucks Bronson Daniels in the canvas, but note that he is still under the spell of the arm triangle! Joso puts his foot forward and hooks it around Daniels’ arm! DANIELS IS TRYING TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP!! BUT JOSO HAS HIM IN POSITION FOR THE CROWN OF THORNS!! AND JOSO FALLS FORWARD AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE MAKESHIFT CRIMSON PEAK! JOSO MANAGED TO TURN A DISASTER INTO AN OPPORTUNITY AS HE TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS TO ROLL DANIELS OVER AND GET THE LATERAL PRESS! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
TH-
Jake Mercer: KICK-OUT! Joso made EAW Hall of Famer, Prince of Phenomenal proud with that devastating Crimson Peak that was from out of nowhere. He did that to get himself out of the clutches of that arm triangle, and you can see that has done a number on him as he coughs and tries to breathe some air into his body. Bronson Daniels begins to crawl to the ropes, and Joso now leans against the ropes… Daniels uses the ropes to get up to his feet, and Joso pursues him with a knife-edge chop to the chest! Daniels nearly gets swept off the floor with the chop as he retreats to the corner in pain.. and Joso delivers another chop to the chest! Joso doing some damage to that bird chest as he delivers a third knife-edge chop.. AND JOSO IRISH WHIPS DANIELS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! Daniels collides into the opposite turnbuckles! AND JOSO SMASHES HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE! FOLLOWED BY A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI ON THE FACE! AND NOW JOSO PULLS HIM IN!! AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! BRONSON ROLLS ONTO HIS KNEES!! AND JOSO CLOCKS HIM IN THE JAW WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE! Bronson Daniels is out like a light.. AYY! OUT LIKE A LIGHT! Joso doesn’t go for the cover as he leans forward into the turnbuckles and he starts to feel the electricity here in the Moda Center!
Flannery McCoy: The crowd has been divided between Joso and Bronson Daniels throughout this match.. but Joso has convinced the Portland crowd as he hops onto the top turnbuckle. He is looking for a high-risk maneuver as Bronson Daniels winds up to his feet… AND JOSO LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! DANIELS GOES UNDER AND JOSO STICKS HIS LANDING AND ROLLS ONTO HIS FEET SAFELY! DANIELS USES THIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE WITH CHROME HEART TAGS! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! JOSO DUCKS UNDER! HE KICKS THE MIDSECTION.. HOOKS THE TIGHTS.. THROWS THE ARM OVER! AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION! JOSO GOES FOR THE FINAL CALLING!! BUT DANIELS GRAPPLES HIS HEAD! AND HE DROPS HIM WITH A STUNNER! JOSO SHOOTS INTO THE AIR, DOES A BACKFLIP AND THAT STUNNER ALMOST SENDS HIM THREE-THIRDS ACROSS THE RING!!! A CORKSCREW STUNNER FROM BRONSON AS JOSO MANAGES TO GET ON HIS FEET.. BUT HE IS SWAYING BACK AND FORTH! AND BRONSON DANIELS LANDS THE CHROME HEART TAGS!! AND HE HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: JOSO KICKS OUT!! HE IS STILL IN THIS! BRONSON DANIELS PARTIALLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT.. BUT HE DOESN’T READ INTO IT TOO MUCH AS HE IMMEDIATELY STORMS UP TO HIS FEET!! AND HE PULLS DOWN HIS SHOULDER PAD! I THINK WE KNOW WHAT COMES HERE! JOSO GETS UP AND IS DOWN ON BOTH KNEES!! AND DANIELS SLIDES DOWN FROM BEHIND! BUT JOSO DUCKS UNDER IT! AND HE GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND!! AND HE LIFTS HIM UP!! AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH THE SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!! BUT DANIELS SLIDES OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND DOWN HIS BACK!! HE ROLLS HIM UP WITH THE SUNSET ROLL INTO THE HEADSCISSORS CRUCIFIX CHOKE HOLD! THE LEBRONSON SPECIAL IS CINCHED IN!! AND THINGS ARE LOOKING DARK WHEN IT COMES TO JOSO BECOMING THE KING OF ELITE THIS SEASON!
Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS HAS THE LEBRONSON SPECIAL IN INCREDIBLY TIGHT!! JOSO IS TRAPPED WITH NOWHERE TO GO.. DANIELS IS PULLING ON FOR DEAR LIFE.. TRYING TO CHOKE THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION OUT SO HE CAN ADVANCE TO THE SEMI FINALS!! BUT DANIELS SOFTENS HIS HEADSCISSORS FOR ONE SECOND AND JOSO IS ABLE TO LIFT UP HIS LEG AND HOOK UNDER IT!! AND HE PLUCKS BRONSON OFF THE CANVAS! WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER!! IS JOSO LOOKING TO GO FOR SECONDS WITH ANOTHER CRIMSON PEAK!!! NO!! JOSO HAS ESCAPED OUT OF THE LEBRONSON SPECIAL AND HAS HIM IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION!! AND JOSO CARRIES HIM ACROSS THE RING!! AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES WITH A RELEASE POWERBOMB!! BUCKLE POWERBOMB FROM JOSO! JOSO COLLAPSES OUT OF PURE EXHAUSTION WHILE DANIELS SLIDES DOWN THE TURNBUCKLES AND ARCHES HIS LOWER BACK IN PAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Joso has shown tonight that he can still hang with anybody who is in the upper echelons…and he isn’t planning on going down without a fight.. Bronson Daniels is struggling to stand on both of his legs.. but he manages as he turns around and JOSO KICKS HIS MIDSECTION!! AND LOOKS FOR THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! HEAVEN’S GATE!! BUT DANIELS MOVES DOWN HIS BACK!! AND GOES FOR THE LEBRONSON SPECIAL FOR A SECOND TIME!! BUT JOSO HAD IT SCOUTED AS HE USED THE MOMENTUM OF THE SUNSET FLIP AND LANDED ONTO HIS FEET! AND JOSO GRABS HIS FEET AND ROLLS HIM OVER! AND HE PULLS HIM IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS!! AND GOES FOR THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER YET AGAIN! BUT BRONSON DANIELS TAKES HIM DOWN BY THE LEGS! AND HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR!! AND SURPRISES JOSO WITH A DOUBLE LEG DROP FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!! FLYING BRONSON’S RAIN DOWN!
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels does not go for the cover as I believe he executed the Flying Bronson’s double leg drop out of desperation! Joso holds his ribs in pain before rolling out of the ring and Bronson Daniels stands to a vertical base in the center of the ring.. and Bronson Daniels stands on his feet and begins to run the ropes! AND HE TRAVELS UP THE TURNBUCKLES!! AND HE LEAPS OFF FOR THE TRUST FALL SENTON!! BUT JOSO CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR! HE HAS HIM IN THE ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER RACK!! OH NO!! DANIELS IS TRYING TO WIGGLE OUT OF HIS CLUTCHES.. BUT IT IS NOT WORKING!! AND JOSO FLIPS HIM OVER!! AND SMASHES HIM IN THE HEAD WITH THE KNEE STRIKE!! THE GRATEFUL DEATH MODIFIED GTS!
Jake Mercer: Bronson Daniels is laid out on the ringside floor.. and Joso needs to take advantage of this opportunity and immediately get him into the ring for the pinfall attempt.. but Joso collapses after connecting with the Grateful Death; with that desperate maneuver potentially gaining a second wind after that devastating double leg drop earlier! Bronson Daniels has not moved an inch after being hit in the jaw with that knee strike, and Joso begins to collect himself and grab onto Bronson Daniels. Bronson Daniels is dead weight at this point, and Joso struggles to shove him into the squared circle. Joso crouches down and thrusts up to pull him into the ring by the left leg. Daniels is back in the ring and Joso gingelly rolls back into the ring to get the cover.. and Joso looks to get the cove- BUT BRONSON DANIELS ROLLS OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE COULD! I DON’T KNOW IF THAT WAS COINCIDENTAL OR DANIELS JUST HAS THAT IMPECCABLE RING AWARENESS!!
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels has saved himself from getting pinned to defeat there.. but how long could Daniels get away from Joso. Daniels is struggling to get up to his feet, but he has regained his consciousness as he is using the barricade to get up to his feet. Joso is on his knees, in pure disbelief as he was seconds away from getting that pinfall victory. Joso looks around the Moda Center, thinking of what to do before his eyes open up as if an idea popped up over his head! Joso walks towards the ropes and gets both of his hands on the top rope. Daniels is on spaghetti legs on the outside as JOSO SLINGS HIMSELF ONTO THE TOP ROPE! AND HE FLIPS OFF!! AND HE DESCENDS ONTO BRONSON DANIELS WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM ABOVE!! YOU MIGHT AS WELL CALL THAT DEATH FROM ABOVE AS THERE IS NO WAY DANIELS IS GETTING UP FROM THAT!! JOSO IMMEDIATELY SPRINGS UP TO HIS FEET AND HYPES HIMSELF UP… RALLYING THE PORTLAND CROWD BEHIND HIM.. AND HE SLOWLY BRINGS BRONSON DANIELS INTO THE RING! The referee checks up on Bronson Daniels!
Flannery McCoy: Joso turns his back on the ring and continues to hype himself before he rolls back into the ri- WHAT THE! AMIR YUSUF FROM BEHIND! AND HE PUSHES JOSO FACE-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!! JOSO COVERS HIS FACE IN PAIN AS HE IS LEANING UP AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! THE REFEREE DOESN’T NOTICE AS HE IS CHECKING UP ON BRONSON DANIELS! AND YUSUF RUNS!! AND HE CURB STOMPS JOSO ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!! BRAIN DESTRUCTOR CONNECTS AS YUSUF QUICKLY GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM INTO THE RING! WE KNEW THAT YUSUF WOULDN’T BE SATISFIED WITH THE ROLL-UP LOSS IN THE FIRST ROUND! AND NOW HE IS TAKING OUT HIS FRUSTRATIONS ON JOSO!! AND THIS IS UNBELIEVABLY UNFAIR!
Stew-O: JOSO IS HALF CONSCIOUS AS IT TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS TO GET ON ALL FOURS! MICKEY! I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!! JOSO WAS ABOUT TO GET UP TO HIS FEET AFTER ROLLING INTO THE RING AND BRONSON DANIELS GAINED SOME SORT OF SECOND WIND AND DECAPITATED JOSO WITH THAT VICIOUS ELBOW!! THIS IS THE SAME ELBOW THAT ADVANCED HIM INTO THE QUARTER FINALS AS BRONSON DANIELS COLLAPSES ONTO JOSO AND THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( “Runnin” by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin echoes throughout the Moda Center as Portland, Oregon erupts in cheers as they hear the third fall. Bronson Daniels unhooks the leg and slowly gets up to his feet before celebrating his victory. Amir Yusuf hops the barricade and walks back into the crowd. )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER.. AND ADVANCING TO THE KING OF ELITE SEMI-FINALS.. BROOONNSONNN DANIIELS!!!
Stew-O: We all thought that Joso was closing in on the victory, but Amir Yusuf getting revenge for the fact that Joso ousted him from the first round.. came from out of nowhere and took him out with the Brain Destructor curb stomp onto the steel steps unbeknownst to Bronson Daniels. Bronson Daniels is oblivious of Amir Yusuf’s involvement in this match.. but, I suppose what matters is that he took advantage of whatever opportunity he had to hit the same devastating elbow that put away Solomon Stane in the first round.
Jake Mercer: Joso got absolutely decked by Amir Yusuf and that disgusting assault offered Bronson Daniels sufficient time to recuperate and get himself level-headed. Bronson Daniels used the same elbow that he used to put away Solomon Addams in the first round.. and he uses the same elbow with to put away Joso in the quarter-finals.. and LeBronson LeAdvances to LeSemiFinals and is LeOneStepForward to being LeKingofElite!
Flannery McCoy: An absolute star making performance for the EAW Interwire Champion tonight, but it is Bronson Daniels who emerges victorious.. and we now we have full knowledge of the Dynasty semi-finals to take place next week in the Climate Pledge Arena, in Seattle, Washington! Bronson Daniels and PJ Hendrx will battle for the rights to advance to the King of Elite finals in February.. and this will be a clash of styles for the ages! Congratulations to Bronson Daniels and PJ Hendrx tonight.. AND BEST THE WISHES FOR BOTH OF THEM!
Jake Mercer: There will definitely be something to boil over into next week between Amir Yusuf and Joso. Amir Yusuf just destroyed Joso’s dreams of being King of Elite.. And I am sure Joso isn’t going to let him get away scots-free! What a match.. Albeit.. Ruined by Amir Yusuf’s disgusting behavior.. Nonetheless, congratulations to LeBronson!

(‘Morals’ by EST Gee begins to play, giving a mixed reception as the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, Soul Food Sunday – SOSA Henderson and The Visual Prophet come out with the titles wrapped around their waist. They are all swagger and confidence as they make their way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT’S A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…WEIGHING IN THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF 456 POUNDS…THEY ARE THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS … THE VISUAL PROPHET….SOSA HENDERSON….SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!!!!
Stew-O: Our main event match for the evening is one that people have been waiting for. Soul Food Sunday takes on Maxwell and EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan! The Unified Tag Team Champions have found themselves being in the radar of a couple of teams as seen last week – Off-Brand Amphetamines and Nick Hart and Shane Gates have discussed their desires to become Unified Tag Team Champions.
Flannery McCoy: It was made official as these three times with clash at King of Elite with the Unified Tag Team Championships on line. If there is something that EAW does fantastically, it’s tag team wrestling and this match will be one to look forward too.
Jake Mercer: Soul Food Sunday has this in the bag! I don’t see this reign ending anytime soon! Soul Food Sunday is just too strong, Flann and Stew!
(‘Bubblin’ by Anderson Paak begins to play through the speakers, earning some mixed ovations from the EAW Universe. Maxwell comes out, looking confident and ready for this tag team match.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA…WEIGHING IN 240 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE PRINCE REBORN’…MAXWELL!!!!!
Stew-O: Maxwell made a surprising return in the New Years Eve edition of Dynasty, laying out the newly crowned EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan! It surprised everyone because the last time we saw Maxwell, he was laid out by Insurgency, which consisted of Jake Smith, Donovan Duke and Limmy Monaghan. Once again, he laid out Limmy last week and now, they’re expecting to team up to face Soul Food Sunday.
Flannery McCoy: “Can they co-exist?” – like this spells for disaster. You’re trying to tell me that Maxwell doesn’t have his own vendetta tonight?
(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa plays after as the crowd gives a standing ovation for Limmy Monaghan who comes out with the World Heavyweight Championship wrapped around his shoulder. He stands next to Maxwell as he unhooks the title from his waist. The two of them look at the World Heavyweight Championship for a moment as Limmy seems like he’s trying to reason with Maxwell. After a brief moment, the two make their way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS PARTNER…FROM GOLDEN BEACH, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN 227 POUNDS…HE IS THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… ‘THE LEADER’ … LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now, that was an interesting interaction from Limmy Monaghan and Maxwell. While they are facing off at King of Elite, tonight, it’s about defeating Soul Food Sunday.
Stew-O: It was an interesting exchange there, Jake. Limmy Monaghan did the unthinkable back at Road to Redemption by dethroning Andre Walker, ending his six month World Heavyweight Championship reign, fulfilling the prophecy that he made back at Pain for Pride 15.
Flannery McCoy: A man of his word, who has had his issues with Maxwell for the past couple of weeks, but can they co-exist tonight? Can they be on the same page for tonight and then, focus at King of Elite?
Jake Mercer: Honestly, what Maxwell decides is going to be quite interesting, but let’s get this main event going!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan is beginning things off against one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, SOSA Henderson!
Flannery McCoy: The two Elitists meet each other in the middle of the ring, looking for the right opening to go for a lock up as…they lock up! It seems like Limmy Monaghan is the stronger out of the two as he gets SOSA Henderson in a resthold and wrenches it in, but SOSA manages to slide his head out of the grasp of the World Heavyweight Champion! He manages to wrap his arms around the waist of Limmy, looking for a German suplex, BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO THROW AN ELBOW TO THE FACE OF SOSA, BUT SOSA MANAGES TO DUCK IT! SOSA GETS HIS ARM UP AND AROUND THE NECK OF LIMMY AS SOSA LIFTS UP LIMMY AND LIFTS HIM UP! SOSA THROWS LIMMY OVER HIM AS –
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS LIMMY MONAGHAN CHARGES TOWARDS SOSA, NAILING HIM WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ – THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE AS SOSA DUCKS THE KNEE STRIKE BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT WITH HIS FACE! Limmy stumbles forward a bit, but is able to catch his balance, BUT SOSA MANAGES TO GRAB LIMMY BY HIS WAIST AND PUSH HIM AGAINST THE ROPES AND ATTEMPTS AN O’CONNOR ROLL! HE HAS LIMMY BY THE TIGHTS! IS MY BROTHER LOOKING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE?!?!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan manages to get himself out of the roll-up attempt! SOSA Henderson rises up to his feet! Limmy does the same thing shortly after! Limmy charges after SOSA, but SOSA connects with a single leg dropkick that sends Limmy back into the Soul Food Sunday’s corner where SOSA tags in The Visual Prophet into the match!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet is tagged into the match as the Unified Tag Team Champions! Viz and SOSA each get an arm of Limmy Monaghan, twist it around before throwing him back against the corner! SOSA CHARGES TO LIMMY AT THE CORNER, NAILING HIM WITH A DROPKICK! QUICKLY AFTER, VIZ FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A BODYSPLASH TO LIMMY AS THAT SENDS HIM FORWARD! VIZ CATCHES LIMMY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH SCOOP SLAM AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan with the kick out! THE VISUAL PROPHET SITS LIMMY UP AND BEGINS TO POUND HIS FIST AGAINST THE CHEST OF THE WORLD CHAMPION! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! Limmy is clutching to his chest as he falls to his side, but Viz manages to sit Limmy back up! He applies a chinlock on the World Heavyweight Champion as Limmy is looking to find some strength to get himself back to his feet! Limmy is slowly, but shakingly getting himself back to his feet! Meanwhile, you can see that Viz is not wanting to let go of the chinlock! Viz kicks the lower spine of Limmy, which sends him forwards into the horizontal set of ropes!
Stew-O: The Visual Prophet finds himself to his feet as he runs after Limmy Monaghan as Limmy connects with an elbow that sends Viz back! LIMMY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SUPERKICK THAT SENDS VIZ BACK! VIZ DROPS TO ONE KNEE AS LIMMY FOLLOWS THAT UP BY CHARGING WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS VIZ BACK INTO THE INSURGENCY CORNER! OH BOY…
(Maxwell looks at Limmy Monaghan’s hand. It’s unsure if he’s going to tag himself into the match.)
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Maxwell tags himself into the match as Limmy Monaghan takes Maxwell’s spot at the corner. MAXWELL INSTANTLY GOES AFTER THE VISUAL PROPHET CONNECTING WITH MUDHOLE STOMPS ON THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! MAXWELL IS GOING FRANTIC WITH THEM UNTIL THE REFEREE STEPS IN, TRYING TO SEPARATE MAXWELL FROM VIZ! Viz uses the assistance of the ropes to get himself back to his feet and Maxwell goes back to resume on the beating to Viz! Maxwell connects with a couple of punches to the face of Viz before getting him by the arm and whipping him to the other set of horizontal ropes! Viz is able to catch himself as Maxwell runs after Viz, who lifts him up and lifts him over!
Jake Mercer: Brother Visual Prophet sends Maxwell out of the ring, but no! Maxwell manages to land on the apron as we see SOSA Henderson trying to sweep the feet of Maxwell, BUT MAXWELL IS ABLE TO JUMP OVER AT THE LAST SECOND AS SOSA TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS MAXWELL CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK THAT SENDS SOSA BACK! MEANWHILE, THE VISUAL PROPHET RUNS AFTER MAXWELL AND CONNECTS WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS MAXWELL TO HIS BACK AND ROLLING OFF THE APRON!
Stew-O: That looked quite nasty, Jake! The Visual Prophet jumps down from the apron to get a good hold of Maxwell before battery ramming him against the edge of the apron! Maxwell’s spine connects with the edge of the apron as he slowly slips down in pain, BUT VIZ IS ABLE TO GRAB MAXWELL BY THE BACK OF HIS NECK BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH AN X-PLEX ON THE APRON! MAXWELL’S SPINE CRINGES IN PAIN AS YOU CAN SEE HIM TRYING TO CLUTCH ONTO THE SMALL OF HIS SPINE. MAXWELL ROLLS DOWN TO RINGSIDE AGAIN AS VIZ SETS UP MAXWELL; HIS BACK AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS AND I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HAS IN MIND!
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet really doesn’t give you much time to process as he charges at Maxwell, connecting with a huge boot to the face of Maxwell! Viz gets Maxwell and rolls him back inside the ring. He rolls back into the ring soon after and tags in SOSA Henderson back in the match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Brother SOSA Henderson is back in this match! You can see the focused look on his face before running to Maxwell, connecting with a penalty kick to the back of the spine! This causes for Maxwell to cringe in pain as Limmy Monaghan is trying to give his fellow Insurgency brother some words of encouragement from the corner. SOSA gets Maxwell by the back of his head before throwing him into the nearest corner! Maxwell is able to turn himself around as SOSA begins to stomp on the ribs of the recently returning Elitist! This causes for Maxwell to collapse on the second rope as SOSA stands Maxwell up before connecting with an uppercut that causes for Maxwell to sit on the second rope again! He grabs Maxwell by the arm before connecting with an Irish whip to the other turnbuckle –
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON CHARGES AT MAXWELL WITH A RUNNING UPPERCUT THAT SENDS MAXWELL FORWARD INTO JUMPING DDT! SOSA GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Flannery McCoy: Maxwell with a kick out! SOSA Henderson sits Maxwell up and begins to apply a chinlock on him! Maxwell begins to use his hands to claw himself out of the chinlock, but SOSA seems to have a pretty good grasp on the lesser experienced Elitist! SOSA turns around to face Limmy Monaghan at the corner, almost taunting him with Maxwell, trying to get these two to tag in before ripping Maxwell away from him. Meanwhile, you can see that Limmy is trying to keep calm at the corner and hope that Maxwell won’t throw this match for the Insurgency corner. Limmy begins to pace around the corner before leading the crowd into a terminator-like stomp for Maxwell inside the ring.
(Limmy Monaghan begins to rhythmically stomp at his corner, which leads to the EAW Universe to do the same thing. Soon, they begin to stomp to the rhythm of ‘Rise of the Terminator.’)
Jake Mercer: It seems like Maxwell is starting to find some strength to bounce back into this match. He is turning his body towards his corner as Limmy Monaghan is reaching back to his corner, looking for the hot tag –
Jake Mercer: The Visual Prophet grabs Limmy Monaghan by his feet and pulls him off the apron! Limmy’s face colldies with the edge of the apron as he collapses to his back! The EAW Universe is not crazy about what Viz did, but that’s smart! Keep Limmy away from Maxwell at the corner! :drakelike:
Stew-O: With Limmy Monaghan taken out of the equation, Soul Food Sunday maintains control of this match up! SOSA Henderson begins to gauge out the eyes of Maxwell as the referee needs to step in and prevent from the situation getting worse. Disney isn’t too crazy about all the gore and happily, Maxwell isn’t bleeding or Disney would have to step in to make sure that issue is resolved. SOSA IS BEING LECTURED BY THE REFEREE, BUT LOOK AT THE VISUAL PROPHET! HE IS CHOKING MAXWELL WITH THE BOTTOM ROPE! HOW IS THIS ANY FAIR?!?! :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan is screaming at the referee to turn around as the referee is telling Limmy to go back into his corner! The referee turns around as The Visual Prophet has his hands up and away from Maxwell! The referee is telling for Viz to get back to his corner and Viz claims that he didn’t do anything and that he’s going to have him reported for “discrimination.”
Jake Mercer: Good. It’s obvious that this referee is against Soul Food Sunday. We need to cut down on bias white referees.
Flannery McCoy: You ARE white.
Jake Mercer: 2% African in my blood, Flannery. 😌
Stew-O: We are not going to have a discussion on your Ancestry test, Jake. The Visual Prophet goes back to his corner as SOSA Henderson goes back to the Soul Food Sunday’s corner and tags in Viz back in the match!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: THE VISUAL PROPHET IS BACK IN THIS MATCH AS SOSA HENDERSON CONNECTS WITH A HURRICANRANA ON MAXWELL, WHO FILES INTO A POWERBOMB BY VIZ! VIZ IN PERFECT POSITION FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Maxwell with the cover! Maxwell doing a fantastic job with hanging on for dear life! Meanwhile, you can see that Limmy Monaghan is holding onto the end rope for the turnbuckle as he is more than anxious to find his way into this match! The Visual Prophet gets Maxwell up to his feet before whipping him to the horizontal set of ropes! Maxwell rebounds himself off of it as Viz looks to connect with a clothesline, BUT MAXWELL DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE! VIZ STOPS HIMSELF BY GOING TO ONE KNEE AS MAXWELL LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND CONNECT WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO VIZ’ SPINE! THIS REALLY DOESN’T CAUSE VIZ TO RESPOND, SO MAXWELL GETS THE BIGGER ELITIST AROUND HIS WAIST AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO CONNECT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! IS HE REALLY GOING TO CONNECT WITH IT?!?!?
Stew-O: SLOWLY, BUT SURELY, MAXWELL CONNECTS WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX INTO A BRIDGE AS HE HOLDS THE VISUAL PROPHET THERE FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTT–
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet with a massive kick out! He rolls himself back to his feet! Maxwell meets Viz up to his feet shortly after! Maxwell connects with a kick to Viz –BUT, VIZ IS ABLE TO CATCH THE KICK BEFORE IT FULLY CONNECTS! MAXWELL REALIZES THAT HE MADE A MISTAKE THERE AS HE THROWS MAXWELL’S LEG TO THE SIDE AS VIZ CONNECTS WITH A BACKSTABBER– BUT, MAXWELL IS ABLE TO CATCH HIMSELF AS VIZ GOES CRASHING DOWN! Maxwell connects with an elbow drop to the chest of the former World Heavyweight Champion as he realizes that this could be his way to tag Limmy Monaghan into the match! Limmy is more than anxious to head back into this match!
Jake Mercer: Maxwell is crawling back to his corner as he goes for a jump, but The Visual Prophet grabs Maxwell by his leg! Maxwell is hoping on one leg as he faces Viz as he connects with an enziguri that takes Viz down to the side! Maxwell jumps as he tags in Limmy Monaghan into the match!
(TAG! )
Stew-O: THE CROWD IN THE MODA CENTER IS GOING ELECTRIC FOR LIMMY MONAGHAN! THE VISUAL PROPHET GOES RIGHT AFTER LIMMY, BUT LIMMY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AS HE THROWS A PUNCH TO SOSA HENDERSON, SENDING HIM TO RINGSIDE! LIMMY JUMPS OUT OF THE WAY AS VIZ THROWS HIMSELF INTO THE STEEL RING POST AT THE CORNER! HE TRIED TO RAM LIMMY INTO THE CORNER, BUT LIMMY WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! Limmy manages to get Viz and connect with a snap dragon suplex that sends one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions rolling to his knees and then, falling to his back! Limmy gets Viz up to his feet and gets a grasp of his arm before whipping him to the corner! Viz get sent slamming against the turnbuckle as Limmy runs –
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan with a shotgun dropkick that sends SOSA Henderson forward, BUT LIMMY HOOKS SOSA BY HIS ARM AND CONNECTS WITH A HIPTOSS! LIMMY JUMPS FORWARD TO SOSA, TAKING HIM BACK WITH A SUPERKICK! HE SLOWLY GETS SOSA BY HIS HAIR AND THROWS HIM HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! SOSA’S HEAD GOES CRASHING ONTO THE TURNBUCKLE AS HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND! LIMMY CONNECTS WITH SOME MUDHOLE STOMPS BEFORE GETTING HIS BOOT AND PLACING IT ON SOSA’S NECK! THE REFEREE BEGINS HIS COUNT THERE!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF HIS NECK, LIMMY!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan does exactly that as he allows for SOSA Henderson to begin getting to his feet. HE DELIVERS A SIDE HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF THE FORMER EAW CHAMPION WHICH TAKES HIM BACK! AND, LIMMY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! HE GETS SOSA BY HIS ARM AS HE WHIPS HIM TO THE OTHER CORNER, BUT MID WAY, SOSA STOPS HIMSELF AS LIMMY GETS WHIPPED TO THAT OTHER CORNER! LIMMY IS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THE CORNER AS SOSA CHARGES AFTER HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! SOSA MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF FROM COLLIDING AT THE CORNER! SOSA TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS LIMMY TAKES HIM BACK WITH A BIG BOOT!
Stew-O: You see The Visual Prophet trying to enter inside the ring as the referee looks to stop him! Limmy Monaghan is trying to tell Viz to stay back at his corner! But, look at SOSA Henderson who is crawling to his knees as –
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson with a punch right between the legs of the World Heavyweight Champion as he goes crumbling down! Maxwell is trying to enter inside the ring and inform the referee of what is going on. THE REFEREE GOES TO STOP MAXWELL AS THE VISUAL PROPHET ENTERS THE RING AND PICKS UP LIMMY MONAGHAN AND PLACES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS – ‘PROPHET DRIVER’– THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! NOW, WE SEE THAT SOSA IS HEADING FOR THE TOP ROPE CONNECTS WITH A FLYING KNEE TO LIMMY – ‘WHEN THE YAMS AND MAC TOUCH’ ON LIMMY!
Jake Mercer: JUST BRILLIANT! THE REFEREE TURNS AROUND AS SOSA HENDERSON IS SLOWLY CRAWLING FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO WIN THEM THE TAG TEAM MATCH?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan gets a shoulder up! The Visual Prophet rises up to his feet, getting a good grasp of Limmy’s hair and begins to look at Maxwell’s direction! Viz is egging Maxwell, trying to get underneath his skin with Limmy. “Do you want to tag him?” is what Viz is trying to tell Maxwell, who is more than wanting to find himself back into this match up! Viz hoists Limmy up before battery ramming him against the corner next to the Insurgency corner! We see Viz connecting with a series of shoulder thrusts to the ribs of the World Champion! Viz lifts Limmy up, so that he’s sitting on the turnbuckle. Viz climbs up to the top as well and it seems like Viz is going to go for a superplex!
Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN IS TRYING TO PUNCH THE VISUAL PROPHET OFF THE TOP ROPE! HE IS THROWING SOME PUNCHES TO THE SKULL OF VIZ, BUT VIZ DELIVERS A NASTY HEADBUTT THAT CAUSES FOR LIMMY TO LOSE HIS STANCE ON THE TOP ROPE! VIZ DRAPS LIMMY’S HAND OVER HIS SHOULDER AS –
Flannery McCoy: SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS CLUTCHING HIS LOWER BACK IN PAIN! THE VISUAL PROPHET IS DOWN! VIZ GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: MAXWELL KICKS THE SKULL OF THE VISUAL PROPHET, BREAKING UP THE COUNT IN THE PROCESS AND SOSA HENDERSON IS RACING INSIDE THE RING, LOOKING TO TAKE DOWN MAXWELL WITH A SPEAR, BUT MAXWELL CONNECTS WITH KICK TO THE TEMPLE! THIS CAUSES FOR SOSA TO STAND UP STRAIGHT AS MAXWELL PICKS HIM UP, CONNECTING WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX! SOSA ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! MAXWELL IS TALKING DOWN ON SOSA BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND BEING MET WITH A ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ – THE SPINNING BACKFIST AS THAT TAKES HIM BACK DOWN AS HE FINDS HIMSELF ROLLING OUT IN THE RING! VIZ TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS LIMMY MONAGHAN CONNECTS WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ AS THAT SENDS VIZ OUT OF THE RING.
(The ‘Rise of the Terminator’ stomp is slowly being build up as Limmy Monaghan is feeling the energy of the crowd. It continues to build before he rebounds off the ropes behind him.)
Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN SENDS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A SOMERSAULT PLANCHA ON SOUL FOOD SUNDAY! MAXWELL MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! LIMMY IS HYPING UP THE CROWD AS THEY’RE ON THEIR FEET!
(Maxwell is slowly starting to rise back to his feet as he looks at Limmy Monaghan who turns to notice him. The two former members of Insurgency look at each other, almost like they’re ready for to clash.)
Flannery McCoy: Are we going to get a sneak preview of King of Elite?
Jake Mercer: Right now? In the middle of our main event?!?!
Stew-O: Look from behind! Soul Food Sunday tried to take advantage of the situation with Maxwell and Limmy Monaghan! BUT, LIMMY MONAGHAN DELIVERS A BACK KICK TO SOSA HENDERSON! MAXWELL CONNECTS WITH BACK ELBOW TO THE VISUAL PROPHET! SOUL FOOD SUNDAY IS STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS AS LIMMY AND MAXWELL TURN THEIR FOCUS ON VIZ! LIMMY GETS VIZ! MAXWELL GETS SOSA! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY LOOKING TO DO? THEY ARE GETTING VIZ AND SOSA IN POWERBOMB POSITIONS AS THEY THE FORMER MEMBERS OF INSURGENCY ARE RUNNING TOWARDS EACH OTHER – ‘SUPER COLLIDER’ – THEY JUST THREW SOSA AND VIZ TO EACH OTHER! THE CROWD IS GOING INSANE ON DYNASTY!
Flannery McCoy: We are going to take a commercial break here! Stay tuned for more action!
(Small commercial break.)
(Dynasty fades in from commercial break with Maxwell and The Visual Prophet as the legal Elitists inside the ring. Maxwell is doing a great job with keeping Viz grounded with a headlock.)
Jake Mercer: Hello, welcome back! For those that are tuning in, our main event is the Unified Tag Team Champions, Soul Food Sunday – The Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson taking on Maxwell and World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan and what wonderful action this has been!
Stew-O: Agreed, Jake! Right now, Maxwell has a grounded headlock on The Visual Prophet as he is slowly working his way up to his knee. Viz is trying to elbow his way out of the headlock, but Maxwell is looking to apply an abdominal stretch and I think that this is a brilliant approach here. Viz’ strength is…well, one of his strengths and eliminating that would limit what Viz is able to do in this match. Maxwell begins to elbow the side of Viz’ face before grazing his elbow against the face of Viz! He is looking over in the Soul Food Sunday corner as he has a few choice words for SOSA Henderson! SOSA is gesturing for Maxwell to come closer and say it to his face, but Maxwell is not taking that bait.
Flannery McCoy: We’re seeing Maxwell in his comfort zone. We’re going to see him trash talk. We’re going to see him feel good about his position in the match. Now, we’re seeing Maxwell take The Visual Prophet down with a sleeperhold, but Viz is refusing to go down! MAXWELL BEGINS TO BASH THE TOP OF VIZ’ HEAD, TRYING TO KEEP HIM DOWN! ONCE HE DOES, HE GETS A COMPLETE WRAP ON VIZ’ HEAD AND BODY! VIZ FINDS HIMSELF IN A BIT OF TROUBLE AS MAXWELL IS LOOKING TO POSSIBLY WIN THIS MATCH FROM HIS TEAM BY SUBMISSION, BUT YOU CAN TELL THAT VIZ IS REFUSING TO GO DOWN! INSTEAD, HE IS USING ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO FIND HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET! HIS FEET ARE SHAKING, BUT HE IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! MAXWELL IS SHAKING HIS HEAD “NO,” KNOWING THAT HE IS LOSING HIS GRASP ON VIZ!
Jake Mercer: BROTHA VIZ HAS MAXWELL STILL ON HIS BACK AS HE BEGINS TO RUN BACKWARDS, CRUSHING MAXWELL WITH THE TURNBUCKLE AT THE CORNER! MAXWELL STILL FINDS HIMSELF HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AS VIZ SLAMS MAXWELL ON THE TURNBUCKLE AGAIN! AND AGAIN! ONCE HE FEELS MAXWELL’S GRASP LOOSEN UP A BIT, HE CONNECTS WITH A SNAPMARE! Maxwell finds himself in a seated position as Viz steps on the spine of Maxwell, hopping over him, running towards the ropes, rebounding off of them and connecting with a basement dropkick to the face of Maxwell! Viz gets to his feet as he has Maxwell by the nape of his neck! Viz lifts up Maxwell onto one of his shoulders! He has his sights towards the turnbuckle as he looks to throw Maxwell and connect with a lawn dart –
Stew-O: MAXWELL MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF THE BACK OF THE VISUAL PROPHET! HE SHOVES VIZ TO THE TURNBUCKLE! HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION, LIFTING HIM UP FOR A DEADLIFT RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT, VIZ IS ABLE TO ROLL TO HIS KNEES! MAXWELL CHARGES TOWARDS VIZ, NAILING HIM WITH SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER AS THAT TAKES VIZ TO HIS BACK! MAXWELL’S CONFIDENCE IS SHOWING AGAINST AS HE GESTURES FOR VIZ TO RISE BACK TO HIS FEET! SLOWLY, VIZ GETS BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE AS MAXWELL –
Flannery McCoy: –BIG BOOT BY MAXWELL! THE VISUAL PROPHET IS TAKEN BACK, BUT HE DOESN’T COLLAPSE DOWN COMPLETELY! MAXWELL FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A FLYING FOREARM! VIZ IS TAKEN BACK AS SOSA HENDERSON TRIES TO COME FOR HIS PARTNER’S AID! SOSA WITH A DROPKICK AS THAT TAKES MAXWELL BACK TO THE CORNER! SOSA goes right after Maxwell, looking to connect with a running uppercut, but Maxwell manages to get out of the way! SOSA goes crashing to the corner as Maxwell connects with a big boot that takes SOSA FORWARD AS MAXWELL CONNECTS WITH A SCOOP SLAM! THIS TAKES SOSA OUT OF THE EQUATION AS MAXWELL TURNS HIMSELF AROUND – ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ – THE SPINNING BACKFIST TAKES MAXWELL BACK AS VIZ FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A ‘PROPHET DRIVER – THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ON MAXWELL AS VIZ GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY MONAGHAN BREAKS UP THE COVER! HE SAVES THIS MATCH FOR HIS TEAM! SOSA HENDERSON RISES BACK TO HIS FEET, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SPEAR ON LIMMY! THE MOVE CONNECTS AS SOSA BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON LIMMY WITH LEFT AND RIGHTS! THE TWO MEN ROLL THEMSELVES OUT OF THE RING, LEAVING MAXWELL AND VIZ INSIDE THE RING! MAXWELL AND VIZ USE EACH OTHER TO GET UP TO THEIR FEET! MAXWELL THROWS A PUNCH TO VIZ! VIZ THROWS A PUNCH TO MAXWELL! MAXWELL WITH A PUNCH TO VIZ! VIZ WITH A PUNCH TO MAXWELL! VIZ! MAXWELL! VIZ! MAXWELL! VIZ! VIZ! Viz! Viz pushes back Maxwell against the ropes before getting him by the arm and whips him to the other set of ropes as Viz goes right after Maxwell, but Maxwell with a shoulder block!
Stew-O: MAXWELL FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH THE SIDEWINDER SUPLEX ON THE VISUAL PROPHET AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! MAXWELL IS LOOKING TO GET VIZ IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AS – ‘M.F.2 – THE CUTTER FROM A POWERBOMB POSITION –
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think that Maxwell notices that SOSA Henderson managed to tag himself back into the match as he connects with ‘M.F.2’ and goes for the cover, but the referee is not counting!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Jake Mercer: I think that he notices that the referee didn’t count as Maxwell is looking at the referee, who is trying to tell him that The Visual Prophet is not the legal man in this match up! Maxwell didn’t notice any tag as he stands up, trying to argue with the referee that him and Limmy Monaghan should have won this match! Meanwhile, he is oblivious to SOSA Henderson standing right behind him as Maxwell turns himself around –
Stew-O: ‘STOLE YO B-I-T-C-H’ – I CAN’T REALLY SAY THE WORD ON NATIONAL TV, SO I SPELLED IT OUT FOR EVERYONE WHO CAN FIGURE OUT THE WORLD! THE JUMPING CUTTER CONNECTS ON MAXWELL AS SOSA HENDERSON GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS IT FOR SOUL FOOD SUNDAY?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRR–
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan breaks up the pin fall attempt! The Visual Prophet goes right after Limmy, BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ ON THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! LIMMY MANAGES TO LIFT UP VIZ AND CONNECT WITH A ‘ABSOLUTE ZERO’ – THE HIGH-ANGLE URANAGE SIDESLAM CONNECTS! SOSA HENDERSON TURNS LIMMY AROUND –JUMPING DDT ON LIMMY! SOSA KNOWS THAT HE NEEDS TO KEEP LIMMY DOWN AS HE QUICKLY HEADS FOR THE TOP ROPE! ARE WE GOING TO SEE ‘PAID IN FULL’ – THE FOOT STOMP FROM THE TOP ROPE?!?
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON FROM THE TOP ROPE – ‘PAID IN FULL!’ LIMMY MONAGHAN POPS RIGHT BACK UP AS HE CONNECTS WITH A BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX, TAKING SOSA DOWN! BUT, HE SEES THAT SOSA IS STILL FINDING A WAY TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AS LIMMY RACES TOWARDS SOSA – ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ – THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE ON SOSA!
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON DUCKS THE KNEE STRIKE AS LIMMY MONAGHAN HITS MAXWELL INSTEAD! :damn:
(Maxwell drops down. Limmy Monaghan’s reflexes were to quick, so he failed to stop ‘Diable Jambe.’ Limmy is looking down at Maxwell, completely stunned, but he is quick on his feet with how to resolve this issue.)
Flannery McCoy: Maxwell was just hit with ‘Diable Jambie’ – it’s in these situations where Limmy Monaghan gets so into his element, nothing can interfere with that. He knows that he messed up there, but the World Heavyweight Champion is quick on his feet. He knows exactly what he need to do! Limmy goes to get Maxwell and pulls him closer to the Insurgency corner! Limmy tags Maxwell on the shoulder as he races back inside the ring!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson manages to tag The Visual Prophet back into the match as well!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: The Visual Prophet goes right after Limmy Monaghan with a clothesline, but Limmy ducks it! He gets Viz and connects with a snap dragon suplex! LIMMY IS STALKING VIZ UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE TAKING HIM AND FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH ‘BON VOYAGE’ – THE SUPLEX LIFT BACKBREAKER ON VIZ! SOSA HENDERSON BEGINS TO ENTER THE RING AS THE REFEREE GOES TO YELL AT SOSA TO STAY AT HIS CORNER! LIMMY TRIES TO PAY NO ATTENTION TO DO THAT AS HE GOES TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH FOR HIS TEAM. HE SEES THAT THE VISUAL PROPHET IS ON HIS KNEES AS LIMMY GETS VIZ BY ONE OF HIS ARMS! HE IS GOING FOR THE RIPCORD SHORT-ARM LARIAT – ‘GOD’S WRATH’ ON VIZ!
Flannery McCoy: THE VISUAL PROPHET KICKS LIMMY MONAGHAN BETWEEN THE LEGS AS LIMMY GOES DOWN! Man, that did not look pleasant at all! In the most convenient time, SOSA Henderson is done arguing with the referee. THE VISUAL PROPHET PICKS UP LIMMY, WHO IS STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE LOW BLOW, BUT LIMMY RAKES THE EYES OF VIZ! LIMMY GETTING BACK AT VIZ FOR THAT DIRTY TACTIC THAT WAS JUST USED AT HIM MOMENTS AGO! VIZ DROPS LIMMY DOWN AS LIMMY REALIZES THAT HE NEEDS TO GET BACK AT HIS CORNER! LIMMY IS CRAWLING UP TO MAXWELL, LOOKING TO TAG INTO THE MATCH –
(Maxwell drops down from the apron as Limmy Monaghan feels that sense of betrayal going into this match. The EAW Universe is booing the living heck out of Maxwell as he begins to walk backwards up the ramp.)
Maxwell: (off-mic) Didn’t see that coming, Limmster? Must not feel good being the one being betrayed, right?
Crowd: [CENSORED] YOU, MAXWELL! [CENSORED] YOU, MAXWELL! [CENSORED] YOU, MAXWELL!

He is looking into the soul of Maxwell as Maxwell maintains the glare directly at the World Heavyweight Champion! Slowly, Limmy is slowly getting up to his feet as he looks down at his former Insurgency brethren! Meanwhile, look at The Visual Prophet who is stalking and anticipating the moment that Limmy turns himself around –
Stew-O: ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ – THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE ONTO LIMMY MONAGHAN AS LIMMY GOES DOWN! THE VISUAL PROPHET WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR–
Flannery McCoy: HOW IN THE WORLD?!?!? LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH A KICK OUT!!!!
Jake Mercer: THE CROWD IN THE MODA CENTER CANNOT BELIEVE IT! LIMMY MONAGHAN KICKS OUT OF ‘KISS TO THE HEAD!’ THE VISUAL PROPHET IS SURPRISED! SOSA HENDERSON IS SURPRISED! MAXWELL RAISES HIS EYEBROWS, KNOWING THAT IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGHER TO PUT DOWN LIMMY MONAGHAN THAN HE ANTICIPATED! This is the man that Maxwell is going to be facing at King of Elite and it’s a man who refuses to go down without a fight! Viz goes to pick up Limmy as Limmy throws a punch to Viz! He throws another punch to Viz and takes him to the horizontal set of ropes!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson with a tag, but I don’t think that Limmy Monaghan realizes that SOSA tagged himself into the match! LIMMY WHIPS THE VISUAL PROPHET THROUGH THE OTHER SET OF ROPES, BUT TURNS TO THE SIDE AS SOSA CONNECTS WITH THE CUTTER ‘STOLE YOUR B WORD!’ I SOUND LIKE DRAKE KING AT THE MOMENT AS LIMMY GOES DOWN! SOSA TAGS IN THE VISUAL PROPHET BACK INSIDE THE MATCH!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Morals’ begins to blast through the speakers again as The Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson begin to celebrate in the ring. Maxwell is already walking backwards up the ramp as he looks at a down Limmy Monaghan inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH… THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: THAT IS WHAT BLACK EXCELLENCE LOOKS LIKE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! SOUL FOOD SUNDAY IS VICTORIOUS!!!!!!! THEY JUST PINNED THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!
Stew-O: That was an outstanding main event match! We should have seen Maxwell with the swerve till the end, but the contest was so amazing, you didn’t think that Maxwell would pull off the stunt that he did!
Flannery McCoy: It was a heck of a main event, Stew! Limmy Monaghan was pinned in the middle of the ring by Soul Food Sunday. Now, if Maxwell stayed, would the result been different? Could it be said that he cost his team the match?
Jake Mercer: I would say no because I believe that my brothers would have found a way to pull this off! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan really fought his heart off during those last moments of the match. He kicked out to The Visual Prophet’s ‘Kiss to the Head’ and that was something that I truly did not expect, but when Limmy is able to full process the situation, Maxwell is going to be in serious trouble.
(Soul Food Sunday raise their Unified Tag Team Championships in the air, celebrating a victorious and quite big victory tonight in the main event. The camera focuses on Maxwell, who has taken his leave, before then going to Limmy Monaghan, who is just recovering and instead of being overly aggressive about it, simply bears an expression that he knew it was going to happen all along. All of this is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade to a complete black from there.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
