(EAW intro plays.)
(As per a recap of last week’s Friday Night Dynasty is seen: Jon Kelton kicks off the night with a promo where Angelo Carter comes out and an impromptu New Breed Championship match is made, with Kelton making quick work of him and standing tall. Bryant Coffey is then seen making his debut on Dynasty and getting a big win. Sierra also makes her first appearance on the brand in 2022, talking about her mission statement before she heads over and tries to make an example out of Caroline who just shrugs it off. Rokuro Nakano is then seen making his debut, getting a win and making a huge statement. Bryant Coffey and Cloud Stryfe are then seen meeting with one another before Cloud puts out a challenge for next week which Bryant accepts. Andrea Valentine then makes her way out to the ring and cuts a promo in response to Ms. Extreme’s words the previous week, stating her piece and making a statement for King of Elite. The aforementioned Caroline is then seen getting a victory afterward. Meanwhile Lisa Wren gets a win going against the rulebook nonetheless. Then in an Empress of Elite semifinals match Miku Sakai manages to advance to the finals against Nariko. The Visual Prophet and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo are then seen chopping the fable before being interrupted by Terry Chambers. When they look like they’re about to butt heads, Johnny Andrews and Solomon Stane come out for their tag match, which they surprisingly win thanks to the disagreements between Viz and Terry. A brawl then unfolds between the two which is split up. Then in another semi-finals match, Dr. Bethany Blue advances for a Territorial Invasion 2021 rewind at King of Elite 2022. StarrStan then makes a match between Ximena Velasquez, Nariko, Serenity Valdez, and Lisa Wren official for Specialists Championship contention at King of Elite. Then in the main event it’s a King of Elite semi-finals match where Andre Walker moves onto the finals in a triple threat to determine the 2022 King of Elite which ends the recap.)
(Friday Night Dynasty kicks off with StarrStan standing in the middle of the ring over a table with a contract on it and three chairs surrounding it. The contract signing is about to kick off as an excited Starr begins to address the crowd.)
StarrStan: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of EAW Dynasty!! It feels great to be back in the great state of Wisconsin!
(The crowd cheers in excitement)
StarrStan: The year 2022 has been off to quite the hot start for this brand, #EAW15 is in full effect as we are celebrating the rich history of this company while also embracing the present and the future as well. There is so much in store for this company in the second half of this season and I truly can’t wait to unveil the things we have been working diligently on. But right now the most important task at hand is this World Heavyweight Championship match at King of Elite between the champ, Visual Prophet, and the contender… Terry Chambers!
(Dueling Viz and Terry chants begin to break out throughout the Fiserv Forum as the fans are split between who to root for between the two fan favorites)
StarrStan: Yes I hear you! Everybody’s excited but nobody is more excited than I am to be able to get this match underway in a little over a week. Viz is somebody who has been a fixture and a staple and a pillar in the modern era of EAW. Him alongside a few others have really defined what it truly means to be “elite”, what it means to be top guy, and what it means to represent this company to the fullest and lead by example. One of the greats and he’s still in his prime with no signs of slowing down! Then we got Terry Chambers who is also in his prime, he has had a career filled with ups and downs but he turned a corner and he never looked back, the man is a former world champion and he’s looking to add more to that resume and prove his first one wasn’t a fluke and he’ll have the opportunity to do so next week in an intense battle of meat bumping between who beefy men!
Jake Mercer: Ayo. :dame:
StarrStan: But without further ado let’s bring out the competitors to make this thing official! Introducing first, the challenger…. Terry Chambers!!!
(The crowd cheers in excitement before “Natural” by Imagine Dragons hits as the cheers grow even louder and Terry Chambers makes his way through the curtains with a determined look on his face. He has on casual street clothes and a leather jacket and he makes his way slapping fans’ hands.)
Flannery McCoy: Terry Chambers looks confident and ready tonight which is a great sight to see. Terry is probably one of the all-time underdog and redemption stories in EAW as he was someone who a lot of people once wrote off and counted out, now he finds himself in a position to possibly make him a two time champion!
(Terry enters the ring and shakes Starr’s hand before taking his seat as his music dies down, he now awaits the arrival of his opponent)
StarrStan: Great to have you Terry, and now the next person i–
???: WE DON’T NEED NO INTRODUCTION FROM NO BLEACH DEMONS BELOVED!!!
(The crowd explodes with a huge mixed reaction as the very familiar voice heard is immediately known. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, who the majority non-melanated crowd in Wisconsin dislikes, but loves Viz. Angelo immediately paces down the ramp with a microphone in hand ready to introduce his client himself.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Brothers and sisters of Milwaukee, Wisconsin– even tho it’s only about three actual brothas and sistas in this crowd and two of ‘em play for the Bucks…. I would like to formally introduce y’all to the champ champ, the top draw in the business, the man all your kids look up to, the founder of the VPLA, the man that’s gonna put Terry Chambers in about 6 business days, Vizzy P Newton in the flesh… THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!
(“Back To Life” by Soul II Soul blasts through the PA system as the crowd explodes in cheers at the arrival of the World Heavyweight Champion. Viz makes his way through the curtain in street clothes with his championship draped over his shoulders as he makes his way down the ramp with a big smile on his face and doesn’t take his eyes off of Terry Chambers, who looked less than impressed.)
Stew-O: And here is the man who has really taken his game up to another level this season here on Dynasty as a two time world champion and if you ask me he’s been carrying this brand on his back! Many people have come and gone but there has been one constant and it’s been the man holding that championship right now. Love him or hate him but you cannot deny what he brings to the table here in EAW.
(As Viz enters the ring, Angelo holds the ropes open for him and Viz takes a seat at the side of the table opposite of Terry as the two men don’t take their eyes off of one another. Viz decides to pick the microphone up first to address Terry.)
The Visual Prophet: First things first, MILWAUKEE WHAT UP DOE!!
(The crowd explodes in cheers)
The Visual Prophet: You hear that Terrence? That’s called being a top guy who the people love.
Terry Chambers: No, it’s called a cheap pop.
The Visual Prophet: Did you say cheap prop? Like the EAW Championship belt was when it was around your waist last season? Not even VPLA could top that charitable ass moment. Pardon me though, I didn’t mean to skip the pleasantries and get straight into ethering you. I honestly wanted to give you some food for thought to let marinate in your mind over the next week as you prepare to become my next successful defense. It didn’t always have to be this way. We didn’t always gotta be at odds per say as I’m sure Starr over here with his overdone “can they co-exist?” tag team matches wanted it to play out exactly how it did because controversy and fuckery is all he cares about, but I’m more sophisticated than that. I offered you a seat at the table we coulda been Vizzy and Tizzy, ebony and ivory, salt and pepper… shit we even had two opportunities to get it together.. but nah you wanted it to be one way and how did it end for you? You got embarrassed by getting pinned by Johnny Andrews… for a second time. How can anybody take you seriously as a contender let alone a champion when Johnny Andrews has your number? If Johnny Andrews has your number then what the hell do you think Viz has?
Terry Chambers: You wanna know what I think Viz has? I think he has an overly inflated ego and has been babied his whole career. Primed to be in the position he’s in now by the powers that be and that includes this man standing over us right now. (Looks directly at Starr) And in result we’ve gotten this mediocre clusterfuck of a run you’ve been on. When you were a rookie? I tip my hat to you, you were one of the most impressive rookies I’ve seen in EAW ever… you rode that momentum over to Dynasty back in 2020 and rode Drake’s coattails to relevance. The match donned after your name that resulted with YOU winning after basically drugging the guy still somehow did more for Drake’s career than it did yours. He went onto win Elitist of the Year on the heels of a hiatus and you? Well you uhhhh.. I think you taught Nina Bravo how to wrestle that season so that’s gotta count for something right? I say that to say this: You have been coasting off of one and a half good seasons for a long time and have been on autopilot, and it’s about time for somebody going full speed to come crashing right into you.
The Visual Prophet: If I’M on autopilot and I won the World Heavyweight Championship that you and everybody else on this brand is scratching and clawing to get only to come up short then tell me king, what does that say about the rest of you? See that’s not an indictment on me as much as it is on you because say what you want about me or my drive or my talent or whatever else, you can’t take away what I’ve done and you can’t take away me being champ. You can’t take away the fact that when this perc’d up bald fuck right here needs somebody to save his brand from going under, I’m who he calls and that’s why he hasn’t been off my dick since he personally called Hurricane Hawk to trade for me back in season 13. That’s why when his job was on the line he knew there was only one person he could count on. That’s the whole fact of the situation.
The Visual Prophet: My track record says I’m the best on Dynasty, your boss says I’m the best on Dynasty, and most importantly, this belt says that I’m the best on Dynasty. Shit this belt says I’m the best in all of EAW in actuality. I’m up there with the top guys. You weren’t considered a top guy even with the belt and that’s why you look back on what’s supposed to be the biggest moment of your career with such disappointment. Something that was years in the making, that everybody anticipated once you made the move over to Voltage finally happened and it was an amazing moment….. and then reality set in. Just like everything else in your life you fucked it up and you look back on it wishing you could do things differently… and honestly that’s fine. I ain’t mad at you for wanting a do-over, but that shit ain’t coming at the expense of MY reign.
Terry Chambers: Is that so? I’m not gonna lie and act like my championship reign was the most ideal situation ever, it wasn’t. Something I spent years clamoring for and busting my ass for only ended up making things worse for me when it became a reality, and that’s just something I can’t live with. It’s a wrong that I need to right and it’s why despite how successful you claim to have been since arriving here on Dynasty, it’s not going to be enough to overcome my will and hunger to correct the course for me. You haven’t been hungry in a long time and you damn sure don’t have the hunger that I have and that’s what’s going to be your undoing come King of Elite.
The Visual Prophet: Well you’re right about one thing… judging from how you used to look I definitely don’t have your hunger. Shit I don’t think anybody sans Xander Payne matches you in the hunger category.
Terry Chambers: You’re such a funny guy Viz! That’s why the people love you. You make them laugh, you come out here and put on a facade week after week with your forced smile, your hip thrusting and your overdone innuendos. It’s a shtick that worked when you’d come out wearing glitter and imitating Prince, but now it’s just sad. You’re a one trick pony who clearly has favor from management, your words not mine, and for somebody with criticism for my career and my reign.. remind me of what you were doing last season? Oh right, you were in a dead on arrival makeshift tag team with a guy who’s not even in EAW anymore because I guess your inconsistent bullshit rubbed off on him.
The Visual Prophet: One trick pony? Me? The guy that gave you Netflix Presents? The guy that went to ESPN with this company on his back? Who carried this brand DURING A PANDEMIC? Who is putting inner city youth through school by day and chopping fables on this brand by night? ME. And you have the nerve to question my work ethic or my range? What range does Terry Chambers have outside of ordering number 1 through 10 at McDonalds? I’m not just a wrestler beloved I’m a visionary, a philanthropist and a–
Terry Chambers: You’re a piece of shit.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: WOAH WOAH WOAH now first of all don’t talk over Viz when he’s talking about what he does for the community! You don’t wan’t our black youth to be inspired or something :mjpls:? Why’s THAT make him a piece of shit? :mjpls:
Terry Chambers: Oh don’t get me wrong I think helping out inner city youth is a great thing… if it wasn’t a self serving front also ran by a con-man like yourself.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Strong words from a colonizing vanilla vulture. Since you think VPLA is such a front, why don’t we ask some of the kids ourselves?
(Angelo starts scanning through the crowd)
Dr. Angelo: D’Angelo, yeah that’s right… we sent some of VPLA’s top academic students on an all expenses paid trip to attend Dynasty to see their favorite wrestler Visual Prophet!
Terry Chambers: In late Janu–
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Silence you ice chimp!
(Angelo finally exits the ring and makes his way to the front row where a group of excited kids in VPLA shirts are all seated and he approaches one student specifically)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Salutations young king, what is your name?
Kid #1: My name is Malik!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: That’s a beautiful African name my brother, let me ask you a question though… who is your favorite wrestler?
Malik: Viz!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Do you think Terry Chambers stands a chance against him at King of Elite?
(Malik busts out laughing before answering)
Malik: Terry? Yeah right! :mjlol:
(The group of kids around him start laughing)
The Visual Prophet: Damn even the kids think you stink.
Terry Chambers: Yeah the ones you brainwashed. Hey kid where are your parents at and do they know you’re in a–
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Someone cut his mic off! Since you think this is just some inside joke with our students and the general consensus of the world isn’t that you suck ass let me ask one of your own kind in this crowd since we are in Wisconsin after all.
(Angelo walks around the other side to find a fan, this time he stops at a blond female who looks to be in her 20s)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: How you doing tonight ma’am? What is your name?
Girl: My name’s Stephanie but y’all can call me NeNe!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: https://streamable.com/l23pm1
Stephanie: Did I say something wrong? ;/
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Well it’s just that I’m not calling a non-melanated female Nene.
Stephanie: https://streamable.com/u59cd2
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Aight man let’s move on… what is your opinion on Terry Chambers?
Stephanie: NNNNNN Well I mean… he was cool back in 2013? Not sure what the infatuation with him becoming a top guy in recent years has been but I’ve personally never brought it.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Yikessssss. You hear that big guy? Even your own yakubians don’t fuck with you. The people don’t rock with you like they rock with Vizzy, and you will NEVER capture their hearts just like you’ll never capture that World Heavyweight Championship.
(Angelo re-enters the ring as an enraged Terry looks on)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: You think cuz you beat one black man for the title last year that you can beat another one? HUH? Besides you be doing all this moaning and whining about a title reign you should consider yourself lucky to have even had, BOO-FUCKING HOO YOUR TITLE REIGN DIDN’T GO AS PLANNED CRY ME A RIVER. Besides, how you fumble the white privilege bag? You ain’t got nobody to blame but yourself for that… but let’s keep it real, I think the only reason you really mad is cuz you lost the belt to a BLACK man! Let’s talk about it! Terry Chambers is a racist! It’s why you mad that Viz is doing more for Detroit and Flint and the inner cities than you ever could and you had a 5 year head start-
Stew-O: OH! TERRY WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL OF THE BELOVED BROTHER WHICH SENDS HIM CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT! It seems that Terry has had enough of his rambling and put a stop to it, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ISN’T GOING TO GO QUIETLY LEAPING FORWARD AND ATTACKING TERRY WITH FIST AFTER FIST TOWARDS HIS FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Terry is forced to go on defense while he finds himself backed up against the corner, but manages to create some distance pushing through Viz’ offense and shoving him backward! Viz backs up against the table but runs forward, ONLY TO BE MET A RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE FOR HIS TROUBLES! A BOOT TO THE FACE OF THE VISUAL PROPHET TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
(Terry looks down at Viz, but doesn’t look very satisfied while he turns his attention towards the contract table, grabbing him by his hair and dragging him closer towards it.)
Jake Mercer: TERRY BRINGING VIZ UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE TABLE WITH A BRUTAL POWERBOMB! VIZ WAS JUST SENT THROUGH THE TABLE AS TERRY STANDS TALL HERE TONIGHT! COULD THIS BE WHAT WE SEE NEXT WEEK?!
(Terry takes the World Heavyweight Championship and looks down at both The Visual Prophet and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, raising the Championship high in the air with a serious expression on his face as it’s the last shot seen before Dynasty begins to fade to commercial.)
(A commercial is seen for the World Heavyweight Championship match with The Visual Prophet defending his Championship against Terry Chambers at King of Elite 2022!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for..
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(As the Camera would point to the rampway, ‘Extreme Ways’ by Moby begins to blast through the arena, as everyone in attendance explodes in cheers, jumping up and down at the sight of Cloud Stryfe! Cloud would walk down the ramp, before entering the ring and backing into his Corner, ready for his Match!)
Stephie Love: Introducing first..residing in Toronto, Canada…weighing in at 195 Pounds…he is “THE BLEACH”…CLOUD STRYYYYYFEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This Match came to be last week, when Cloud Stryfe would walk into Bryant Coffey backstage after his Match with Kristen Myers, and he threw out the challenge, in which Bryant accepted!
Jake Mercer: CLOUD Stryfe is my favourite CLOUD! Did you know that CLOUD has done CLOUD Diving? Where he jumps off a CLOUD?? CLOUD truly is an extraordinary CLOUD. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: What?
(As ‘Extreme Ways’ begins to fade out in the distance, suddenly, ‘Walk’ by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play throughout the speakers, as the cheers continue, but boos can also be heard throughout the arena as Bryant Coffey walks through the curtain! Coffey keeps a focused sight on the Ring and Cloud Stryfe, as he walks down the ramp, and into the ring, walking up to Cloud and giving him a fistbump before backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent…from San Jose, California…weighing in at 202 Pounds…”BLOODHOUND”…BRYANTTTTT COFFEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND HERE’S BRYANT COFFEY! Bryant has had an amazing start here in EAW, with two wins and zero losses, and tonight he is looking to continue the momentum with a win over Cloud Stryfe!
Stew-O: Bryant has a bright future here, and tonight he can continue to prove that he is the future-
Jake Mercer: SEND. COFFEY!. ☕☕☕
Stew-O: :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: :comeagain:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! :wow: Two rising stars here in EAW are looking to fight it out tonight, with some huge momentum on the line! And they lock up in the middle of the Ring, fighting for control! Cloud begins to slowly push Bryant over to the ropes, but Braynt turns it around, looking to push Cloud do the ropes, and he successfully does, rebounding Cloud off the ropes, looking to capitalize, but Cloud catches Bryant in a side headlock, and throws him down to the mat, with the hold locked in! Cloud starts to wrench that headlock in on Bryant, as he is struggling to get out, but still, Coffey slowly escapes Cloud’s hold, and grabs his arm- and locks in a Fujiwara Armbar! Bryant seems to want to make Cloud tap quickly, as he has nowhere to go, as Bryant continues to wrench that Armbar in! Cloud continues to try and crawl to the ropes, but Bryant keeps his stance, tightening the grip of the Armbar- but Cloud manages to escape, and looks for a Fujiwara of his own, but Bryant quickly gets out, and we have a stalemate! Cloud runs back towards Bryant, but Bryant gets out of the way, grabbing Cloud by the waist, and goes for a German Suplex- but Stryfe is keeping his stand! Coffey is trying to suplex Cloud, but he gives up, and pushes Stryfe away, rebounding him off the ropes- and he catches Stryfe with a Running Knee Strike!
Jake Mercer: EAW! EAW! EAW-
Flannery McCoy: STOP IT!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry: Stryfe is seen getting back up to his feet, but Bryant doesn’t allow him to recover, as he drags Stryfe back up to his feet, and begins to overwhelm Cloud with strikes! Jabs! Knee Strikes! Cloud is trying to protect himself, but he can’t protect himself away from these MMA style strikes by Bryant Coffey! Stryfe falls to a knee, but keeps his guard up as- BRYANT JUST PUNCHED STRYFE RIGHT IN THE JAW! STRYFE IS OUT OF IT, AND BRYANT GOES FOR THE EARLY PIN! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CLOUD GETS THE SHOULDER UP! I’m surprised that Cloud was able to even get a shoulder up, considering that punch to the jaw seemingly knocked him out for a moment! But nonetheless, Bryant brings Stryfe back up to his feet, and just continues the onslaught! He is once again going for that German- but Cloud is able to slip out of it, and sweep the legs! Coffey falls down to his knees, as Stryfe rebounds off the ropes..standing Meteora! A standing Meteora takes Bryant Coffey down, and now Cloud climbs up to the top rope, and yells for Bryant to get back up to his feet, which his call is received- TOP ROPE METEORA! Bryant has lost all control of this Match, as Cloud Stryfe continues to make sure that he stays down- mounting him, and taking a trick out of his own book, and begins to throw those MMA style strikes! Bryant, trying to protect himself, is unable, as Cloud elbows Coffey right into the jaw!
Stew-O: Now it’s Stryfe overwhelming Coffey! He has turned everything around, as Stryfe drags Bryant up to his feet, and Irish Whips Bryant into the ropes, as Bryant rebounds, and runs back at Cloud- FLAPJACK! NO! BRYANT WAS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH UPON MEETING THE MAT, AS BRYANT GRABS CLOUD, AND HE IS FINALLY ABLE TO HIT THE GERMAN SUPLEX! CLOUD LANDS FLAT ON HIS BACK, AND HITS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD HARD! That German was finally able to connect, and Cloud landed hard, and look at the smile on Bryant’s face! He knows he was able to get the best of that exchange, and now all he needs to do is be willing to capitalize, which he is, as Cloud slowly gets up to his knees, but is met with a Roundhouse Kick by Bryant, Cloud almost collapsing under himself, as all Bryant can do is laugh! He knows that he has Cloud Stryfe right where he wants him, and he isn’t willing to let Cloud switch offense again, as Bryant brings Cloud up to his feet, and aims for another German- CLOUD LANDS ON HIS FEET! CLOUD WAS ABLE TO FLIP THROUGH THE GERMAN, AND LAND PERFECTLY ON HIS FEET, AS HE RUNS AT BRYANT, GRABBING THE ARM AND HITTING AN ARMDRAG! THEY BOTH GET UP TO THEIR FEET, BUT CLOUD GRABS BRYANT BY THE HAIR, AND PULLS THEM DOWN- INTO A SURPRISE ROLLUP!!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK, BRYANT TURNS IT OVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
Flannery McCoy: CLOUD KICKS OUT, AND THEY BOTH GET UP TO THEIR FEET- ANOTHER ROLLUP BY CLOUD!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE—-
Jake Mercer: BRYANT KICKS OUT, AS THEY QUICKLY GET BACK UP–
Stew-O: BUZZSAW KICK! BRYANT CAUGHT STRYFE WHILE HE WAS DOWN ON HIS KNEES, AND CONNECTED WITH THE BUZZSAW KICK! STRYFE IS OUT, AND BRYANT FALLS INTO A COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE—–
Jake Mercer: ANOTHER KICK OUT! :blessed:- BUT BRYANT ISN’T GOING TO LET STRYFE OFF EASILY, AS HE QUICKLY PULLS CLOUD BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND THROWS HIM OFF THE ROPES..MICHINOKU DRIVER! :krabs:
Flannery McCoy: STRYFE GETS OUT OF IT, AND ANOTHER ROLLUP!! :mjlol:
ONE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT WAIT, STRYFE ROLLS IT THROUGH, BREAKING UP THE PIN BUT ALSO GETTING BACK UP, AS BRYANT ALSO GETS BACK UP, AND STRYFE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES..CLOUD NINE ELBOW– NO! BRYANT MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, FORCING STRYFE TO ROLL THROUGH UPON FALLING DOWN TO THE MAT, AND HE RUNS BACK AT BRYANT- SITOUT POWERBOMB! This Match between these two has been absolutely insane! They are both giving it everything that they have inside that ring, and whoever wins this very well deserves it! But right now this Match is up in the air, seeing that these two are giving it their all, and I don’t know who can possibly win this Match! But nonetheless, Bryant slowly gets back up to his feet, and slowly mounts Stryfe..and there’s those MMA Strikes! And what’s worse, Cloud can’t even defend himself, considering that he is out of it! Bryant continues to throw those Jabs, as Cloud slowly brings his arms up..HE PULLS BRYANT OFF OF HIM, AND SLOWLY GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET- NO, BRYANT GOES FOR ANOTHER BUZZSAW KICK- BUT CLOUD DUCKS IT, AND CATCHES COFFEY WITH A CHOP BLOCK! BRYANT COLLAPSES, AS CLOUD GRABS BRYANT..SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! AND BRYANT LANDS HARD, BUT SLOWLY ARISES TO HIS KNEES UPON IMPACT..SWORD ART! THE SUPERKICK TO A KNEELING BRYANT CONNECTS, AS CLOUD GOES FOR A COVER-
Jake Mercer: But he’s too exhausted! Cloud can’t capitalize on the Sword Art, and that might have just cost him the win in this Match! Cloud slowly gets back up to his feet, but Bryant is getting back up as well..FOREARM SMASH BY CLOUD- BUT AN UPPERCUT BY BRYANT, AND CLOUD FALLS TO HIS KNEES- AN MMA STYLE PUNCH BY COFFEY- BUT CLOUD DUCKS IT, GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND CATCHING BRYANT WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! Bryant just falls right down, he is out of it! And Cloud realizes this, as he drags Bryant back up to his feet..ANOTHER HIGH KNEE STRIKE! BRYANT IS DONE FOR, AS CLOUD GRABS A HOLD OF BRYANT…”SESTO ELEMENTO!” THE SPINNING HEADLOCK LARIAT INTO A BACKBREAKER CONNECTS! BRYANT ISN’T MOVING, AS CLOUD DRAPES HIMSELF OVER BRYANT, AS A PINFALL IS MADE!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: WOW!
(‘Extreme Ways’ begins to blast through the arena, as everyone in attendance explodes in cheers at the sound of the bell ringing! Cloud Stryfe would slowly get back up to his feet, exhausted from the Match, but proud as his arm is raised by the ref.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….CLOUD STRYYYYYYYYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: What a Match between these two tonight! Bryant gave it his all tonight, but he just wasn’t able to put away Cloud Stryfe!
Flannery McCoy: drakelike: Prop to the both of these two for giving all of us a great Match! Throughout this whole Match, the winner was up in the air. :wow: Congratulations to Cloud Stryfe!
(A commercial is shown for EAW 2K22, IT HITS DIFFERENT (if you haven’t played the other games).)
(Backstage at Friday Night Dynasty, the scene opens up with Solomon Stane with the camera on him as makes his way through the backstage area. He’s not at all interacting with anyone and is instead focused on himself – he has a match coming up soon and the last thing he needs is to be distracted. However, he doesn’t make it much further from where viewers first caught up with him when coming from the opposite direction is Johnny Andrews, who doesn’t think twice about approaching him with a grin.)
Johnny Andrews: Hey man, I’ve been meaning to catch up with you since after last week! It was great what we did against Terry and Viz, right? We beat the World Heavyweight Champion and the number one contender for the Championship all in one match – it was definitely something that no one could overlook! People wanted to think that it’d be impossible for us to do something like that, but we did it despite looking like some random team that’d just been thrown together.
(The slightest bit of a smirk breaks through from Solomon, because even can’t deny what a great moment it was for them.)
Solomon Stane: Terry Chambers and The Visual Prophet really tried to make themselves out to be a team that we wouldn’t be able to handle, but it says a lot when we’re the ones who were able to put our differences aside and work on one goal together. Showing exactly why I wasn’t to be overlooked even with them across from me in the ring ended up being a great feeling, I’m not going to lie about it when it came at the expense of guys who are at the top of things around here – and now I’m looking to continue off of that.
Johnny Andrews: That’s the right perspective to have, it’s definitely going to take you places – which is why I’ve been thinking for a while now since that match that maybe try thinking about what we could do as a team. I mean, if we could do what we did last week, then imagine what we could get up to if we got together and put our focus toward one goal? I know we aren’t best friends or anything like that, but who says that we need to be to accomplish a mutual goal, right? We haven’t always seen eye to eye and I know that, but you know, we actually don’t make a bad team – and working together the way we did to prove ourselves against Terry and The Visual Prophet could be a real turning point for us if we capitalize on that momentum.
(The smirk that was on Solomon’s face fades away as he looks at Johnny curiously, appearing almost unsure as if Johnny doesn’t really know what he’s asking of him. Johnny, however, sees this and before Solomon can reply, he continues on.)
Johnny Andrews: You can’t say that we didn’t work well together despite everything, so I don’t see what the problem could be if we tried seeing how much further we could take this whole teaming thing. With all this new talent coming in also, it means more people trying to move up ahead of us and take more opportunities from us – I don’t want that and I’m sure you don’t either, and we can definitely put a stop to it sooner by working together. What we did last week and using that as a launching pad could set us apart from everyone else trying to put themselves on the map – it’s like we’ve already got ourselves a head-start.
(Johnny’s definitely enthusiastic about it and trying to sell that to Solomon Stane, despite their history and their words that had been thrown at each other, is something that he knows is going to take some convincing. But he’s got no problem working to see this become a reality. Solomon looks at him, trying to get a read on Johnny before he slowly begins an understanding nod; he’s not seeing any major issues that could come up.)
Solomon Stane: I think you’re definitely onto something here. Last week is something that more people should be talking about and taking notice of because for us to be able to work together how we did, to accomplish what we did, there’s no way that can be overstated. We saw past whatever problems we had and that’s why we were really able to do what guys like The Visual Prophet and Terry Chambers couldn’t – so like I said this week ahead of tonight, maybe I was wrong about you. You seem alright, Johnny.
Johnny Andrews: That just sounds like a long winded way of saying “yes”. ….Well, that was a “yes” anyway, right? :lupe:
(Solomon chuckles, slapping Johnny’s back and nodding his head.)
Solomon Stane: I know it’d be an interesting way to go about things and maybe it’s not at all expected, but no one expected us to be successful last week, now did they? The way I see it, based on that, we could definitely see our way to some more success that no one else sees coming – and I know that we’re both willing to do whatever it’s going to take to guarantee that.
Johnny Andrews: That’s real good to hear! Listen, there’s about to be no one and no team that’s going to end up getting in our way. With the both of us putting our dedication and determination into making this work, I’m sure there’s going to end up being nothing that we can’t accomplish in taking all the steps toward achieving our goals. But you’ve got a match coming up, right? We can get into this a whole lot more after that and work some more things out – good luck out there!
(Johnny nods his head with an excited grin and Solomon simply watches him walk off before continuing down the hall, the look on his face showing that he’s looking forward to where this all could lead for him and Johnny. As Solomon gets further away from the camera, the scene fades out.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face, ready to announce the next match at hand tonight!)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Genjou Destruction’ by SPYAIR begins to play up throughout the arena while the camera transitions over to show Rokuro Nakano making his way out from the backstage area and to the stage. He looks around at the crowd in attendance tonight, before making his way down the ramp and to the ring with a serious look on his face, ready to go to work as always. He makes his way up the steel steps before stepping onto the apron and entering into the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST!! WRESTLING OUT OF KYOTO JAPAN, WEIGHING IN 242 POUNDS!! HE’S THE GREEN TECHNICAL MACHINE!!!! ROKUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here we are folks, we’re back on Dynasty here tonight. Rokuro Nakano is making his way out to the ring to prove himself to be the star of my dirt sheet-
Stew-O: We’re just going to ignore you Jake since I can already tell that it sounds completely absurd. But last week, Rokuro made his debut and made one hell of an impression standing tall against Aiden Pearce. He’s a great addition to the Dynasty roster and I feel that his luck is only going to go up from here considering that this is only just the beginning for him!
Flannery McCoy: Last week was a tremendous performance by Rokuro where he showed his stripes and proved that he was here to stay, but tonight I don’t think it’s going to be that easy. He’s coming back to prove himself but it’s not going to come easy, especially stepping up to the plate against someone like Solomon Stane. It’s going to be one hell of a challenge for the newcomer, but I feel that’s something that he’s up to tonight. Let’s see what he has in store for us tonight!
(Rokuro is seen pacing around the ring, getting ready for his match at hand whilst awaiting his opponent inside of the ring as well. Before long the lighting changes and ‘Genjou Destruction’ is quickly replaced by ‘Shadow of the Cemetery Man’ by Rob Zombie which blasts through the speakers of the arena to a solid mixed reaction here tonight upon seeing Solomon Stane make his way out to the stage looking towards his opponent. He has a slight smirk on his face while fire begins to shoot out behind him. He pops his neck and cracks his knuckles, ready for war while he walks down from the stage and to the ring. He enters into the ring, and proceeds to make his way around before raising an arm in the air.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!!! FROM THE CITY OF SIN!! WEIGHING IN 266 POUNDS!!! HE’S THE SOLDIER OF SANITY!! SOLOMONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well it seems like Solomon is on a high after the events of this week and last week as well. If you didn’t see, both him and Johnny pulled off one hell of a shocker managing to get a victory in tag team action over both The Visual Prophet & Terry Chambers. Knowing that, it seems that both of them have put their differences aside and are willing to be a team with one another. Which is another team added to the ranks of an already prosperous tag team division, could Unified Tag Team Championship gold be in their sights?
Flannery McCoy: I mean, why wouldn’t it be? I’m sure after what happened both him and Johnny are up for the challenge and whatever it beholds. But for now he has his sights set on something else, and that involves this singles match here tonight. While he isn’t exactly on the cards for King of Elite, he still has a chance to make a solid impression and show why he deserves to be in the position that he knows he’s going to be in. Rokuro Nakano seems to be the only thing standing between that here tonight.
(Solomon tosses his gear to the side and prepares himself for the match at hand, while Rokuro mirrors him on the opposite side of the ring, both of them getting ready for a war and showing how ready they are for this match. From there, the referee begins to signal for the bell to get this match underway.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go as this match is underway, with both men beginning to circle around the ring and scout the competition that they have at hand. It’s clear that an error especially this early in the match is going to be fatal for them and they’re going to make sure that it doesn’t happen. Both of them approach the center of the ring, before locking up into a collar-and-elbow tie up! Both of them are beginning to jockey for position here, BEFORE SOLOMON SHOWCASES HIS DOMINANCE AND SHOVES Rokuro TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Solomon doesn’t even give Rokuro time to even react, grabbing him by the arm and sending him towards the ropes and back, RUNNING FORWARD AND TAKING HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Which is barely averted by Rokuro who ducks under that and continues to run the ropes! ROKURO LEAPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING FOREARM TAKING SOLOMON DOWN TO A KNEE! Rokuro quickly gets back up to his feet and grabs the head of Solomon while he’s stunned, BRINGING HIM AROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A NECKBREAKER!
Jake Mercer: Rokuro getting the early start so far with Solomon down on the ground, he turns around and runs to the ropes and back looking to keep him down! BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO SO SOLOMON QUICKLY GETS UP PLAYING POSSUM AND THIS TIME CONNECTS WITH THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Solomon grabs him by his head, beginning to toss him towards the corner, RUNNING FORWARD AND THIS TIME LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SHOULDER THRUST FOR HIS TROUBLES!
Stew-O: But Rokuro manages to fall against the corner and quickly recover, stepping forward before Solomon can do anything and connect with a stiff back elbow! Solomon stumbles backward, WHILE ROKURO LEAPS OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO A CROSSBODY! WHICH IS CAUGHT BY SOLOMON WHO MUSCLES HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A BRUTAL POWERSLAM! Solomon managed to turn the tables just in time!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah but how long can he keep that up, Rokuro is bringing that fire tonight and Solomon has only just barely managed to evade that. Rokuro is slowly bringing himself back up, BUT IT’S SOLOMON THAT STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO HIS HEAD! Despite that Rokuro plants himself down into a kneeling position and holds his ground, WHICH CERTAINLY PISSES OFF SOLOMON WHO GRABS HIM AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: WAIT! Rokuro manages to land on his feet! Excellent agility being shown by him at the moment while Solomon turns around in shock, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE HEAD WHICH CONNECTS TO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE AND SENDS HIM BACKWARD TOWARDS THE ROPES! Solomon is stunned momentarily, BEFORE ROKURO RUNS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: But it’s Solomon that grabs him and throws him over in hopes of sending him out of the ring so he can recover! But it doesn’t go exactly as planned with Rokuro landing himself onto the apron! Solomon turns around, only to be met with a brutal right hand to his head which sends the big man backward! Rokuro sees the opportunity present itself, BEFORE LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOLOMON KICKS HIS LEGS FROM UNDER HIM AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWNWARD AND CRASHING ONTO THE CANVAS! Solomon then scoops him up, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH! THE ONE-HANDED CHOKESLAM KNOCKS DOWN ROKURO NAKANO ONCE MORE WHILE SOLOMON DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRR-
Jake Mercer: BUT ROKURO MANAGES TO POWER OUT! Solomon doesn’t look all that happy but that only means that he has to do more work if he hopes to keep him down for the count. Solomon is back up to his feet, grabbing Rokuro by his hair and bringing him up as well. Rokuro is attempting to fight back with weak elbow shots to his gut, BUT IT’S SOLOMON THAT CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL KNEE STRIKE TO HIS FACE WHICH RATTLES HIS JAW! Solomon drags him towards the corner, BEFORE THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Stew-O: Rokuro is in agonizing pain now while Solomon looks to continue his assault, grabbing him and pushing him against the corner this time as he seems to be looking for something big. Solomon is bringing Rokuro up to the top rope now, while Solomon slowly begins to climb up and join in! Solomon sending shots downward trying to weaken him as much as possible, BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND LIFTING HIM INTO A SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: But Rokuro isn’t done fighting just yet, sending punches towards the side of his body trying to weaken his grip and slip out before the situation can get worse for him! Solomon is trying his best to hold on, but Rokuro seems absolutely relentless in his attack, not giving in for a second! Solomon is forced to give in, letting go of the hold but still managing to keep himself on the top rope, ONLY FOR ROKURO TO CONNECT WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL WHICH STUNS HIM AND SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Rokuro trying to balance himself before standing up on the top rope, with Solomon still down gripping his head and trying his best to shake off the pain. ROKURO LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR AN EMERALD BODY PRESS! THE FROG SPLASH CONNECTS BEFORE ROKURO PINS SOLOMON’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT AND ATTEMPTS A PIN! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEE-
Stew-O: BUT THIS TIME IT’S SOLOMON THAT FINDS A WAY TO KICK OUT! Rokuro nods his head slowly before getting back up to his feet, he has a cold look on his face as he knows what he has to do in order to get the victory, and he’s going to go on for as long as needed in order to do so. But if Solomon has anything to say about it, I don’t think it’s going to be a very easy challenge for him.
Flannery McCoy: Rokuro slowly begins to bring Solomon up to his feet before pushing him into the ropes, using the momentum to send him towards the opposite side and into an Irish whip attempt! BEFORE THIS TIME SPINNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A ROLLING ELBOW ATTEMPT! ROKURO ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OUT ANOTHER BIG MOVE OUT OF HIS ARSENAL AND USE IT AGAINST SOLOMON TONIGHT!
Jake Mercer: But Solomon manages to avoid it just in time by ducking under it, BEFORE GRABBING ROKURO AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A SUPLEX! Solomon isn’t done though, KEEPING AHOLD OF HIM BEFORE TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A RIPCORD CLOTHESLINE! Solomon knows how quickly these opportunities can come and go, and is making sure that he uses all of it before it once again goes south for him.
Stew-O: Rokuro is slowly beginning to get up, WHILE SOLOMON RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK, USING THE MOMENTUM TO ATTEMPT A SPINNING WHEEL KICK! Which Rokuro manages to duck under! Solomon crashes down to the ground while Rokuro shows signs of life yelling at him to get back up to his feet, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A KICK WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Solomon is stunned while Rokuro sets him up, THIS TIME GOING FOR THE NAKANO-PLEX! TIGER DRIVER 85 ON THE BIG MAN!
Flannery McCoy: But Solomon proves that he has the weight advantage, with Rokuro having taken too much damage in this match to fully execute his finishing maneuver! Rokuro attempts to recover, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL BY SOLOMON! BEFORE SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH THE KEY OF SOLOMON! THE SITOUT FORWARD FIREMAN’S SLAM CONNECTS WHILE HE ROLLS ROKURO ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Shadow of the Cemetery Man’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena while Solomon Stane pushes off the body of Rokuro Nakano and begins to make his way up to his feet. The referee makes their way over, checking on him before raising his hand high in the air in victory. It isn’t long after that Solomon, hysterically laughing, begins to start his celebration.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SOLOMON STANE!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: DAMMIT ROKURO! You were meant to be a star! You were meant to bring in the big bucks when EAW made their way to the Tokyo Dome! THE FUTURE! YOU FAILED ALL OF US AND LET US DOWN!
Stew-O: I wouldn’t say that Jake, I’d say Rokuro put up a hell of a fight for his second match. He gave it his all but in the end, he fell to the wrath of Solomon Stane who gets another win under his belt tonight.
Flannery McCoy: It was a match to remember tonight and both of them should be proud of that. But there was only one winner and that honor goes to Solomon, congratulations!
(Solomon makes his way up the ramp only to be met with Johnny Andrews who stands at the stage with a smile on his face while he claps his hands together. Solomon gives a smirk in response while Johnny makes his way over and raises his hand high in the air, looking like a proud dad as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty transitions to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness where Jake Smith will be making an appearance as a variant of Theron Nikolas.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: Introducing first…
(‘Kill The Noise’ by Papa Roach hits to a dead silent reaction upon seeing Arel Beckham simply make his way out to the ring, nothing fancy in doing so.)
Stephie Love: From Santa Monica, Los Angeles weighing in at 195 pounds he is “Enigmatic” ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREL BECKHAM!!!
Flannery McCoy: Well Arel Beckham sure lives up to his nickname of being enigmatic. He didn’t even say anything at all this week! So we really have no idea what he’s been up to or what is going through his head.
Stew-O: Who knows what he has in store for this match, but if what he was saying towards Caroline is any glimpse of what’s going to happen this week. Well let’s just say it’s not going to be a fun time for us :roman:.
Jake Mercer: Hey, I’ll have you know it’s nothing new. I’ve seen much worse in the deep recesses of Twitter, just know that what you see there, you’ll never be able to unsee.
(‘Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake hits as Sierra comes out to the ring in an elaborate colorful outfit. Bright pink lights flash throughout the arena ushering her out to the ring. However, Sierra is clearly showing a demeanor of just not caring at all and depression as she walks out.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent from San Francisco, California weighing in at 121 pounds she is “The Visionaire” SIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra is back on Dynasty and I have heard some people are mad about that but they are just haters. Apparently Sierra was very crushed after what happened in the Empress of Elite tournament and is thinking about giving up. She spent the entire week whining and sulking and nobody really wants to listen to that.
Stew-O: Sierra has stopped caring after her recent L’s which she now has to hold at all times. Sierra hopes that her career will get back on track sooner or later but who knows maybe it is over for her.
Jake Mercer: Honestly I’d have rather have heard nothing like we got with Arel than the bitching and moaning we got with Sierra. I mean nobody should have to listen to that type of negativity. She should just give up on wrestling and/or life if that is the attitude she is bringing to the table.
Flannery McCoy: Where did you get that from :mjlol.
Jake Mercer: Tumblr.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: We are underway as Sierra and Arel Beckham lock up in the ring. Sierra easily overpowers Arel and takes him down to the mat and into a Cross Armbar! AREL IMMEDIATELY TAPS OUT!!! No wait he got his hand on the ropes instead! Sierra is forced to break the hold as Arel gets back up having nearly been defeated in the early goings of the match. Arel is quite pissed about it indeed as he charged in wildly at Sierra throwing shots but she deftly dodges each one with her powers of agility. Sierra ducks beneath a punch and counters with a hard uppercut catching Arel on the jaw and sending him ragdolling back into the corner.
Stew-O: Sierra is going in. Arel Beckham being lit on fire in the corner with repeated shots from Sierra who is clearly relentless. Sierra is wildin’. Sierra grabs the arm of Arel out of the corner, yanking him down into the middle of the ring. Possibly looking to go for that Cross Armbreaker one more time. But Arel rolls through! Arel rolls back up to his feet tossing Sierra with an Arm Drag but she flips over and lands on her feet. Sierra with a Spinning Heel Kick but Arel ducks that. Sierra grabs the arm of Arel from behind pulling him backwards into a Crucifix Pinning Combination!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Kick out by Arel Beckham! Sierra nearly stole one there! Sierra immediately grabs the arm of Beckham but he wrestles away and at best she briefly has a wrist lock applied. Back up as Arel ducks beneath the arm and throws Sierra away with an Arm Drag. Sierra is back up as Arel catches her with a Running Clothesline! But Sierra remains standing and his arm just collides with her chest! Sierra slaps the shit out of him and tosses him over the top rope to the outside! Arel lands on his feet but Sierra is up on the apron as she runs across… RUNNING PUNT KICK TO THE FACE FROM SIERRA!!! HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDED LIKE A CANNON SHOT!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra tosses Arel Beckham’s limp body back into the ring but she’s not going for another cover just yet! Sierra runs off the ropes… STUPID BITCH CONNECTS!!! The Handspring Moonsault landing right atop Beckham in the ring!!! She pulls him up and flips over him… SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT!!! THE FAIRYTALE KILLER CONNECTS AND BECKHAM HAS TO BE OUT LIKE A LIGHT!!!
Stew-O: Sierra posturing now in the ring as the crowd is on their feet cheering her on as she looks to put the final nail in Arel Beckham’s coffin! Sierra waits for her opponent to get back up which he does very very slowly having just regained consciousness… Sierra stalking her prey… What will she go for up here?!?!? SIERRA GRABS AREL AND DRAGS HIM DOWN INTO A SUBMISSION HOLD!!!
Jake Mercer: THE MARIPOSA DEATH!!! IT HAS BEEN LOCKED IN! THERE’S NOWHERE FOR AREL TO GO! HE’S FUCKED!!! HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE IN!!! AREL IS BEING DESTROYED IF HE DOESN’T SUBMIT!!!
Flannery McCoy: AREL BECKHAM TAPS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIERRA IS THE WINNER!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( ‘Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake blasts across the speakers loudly as Sierra has her arm raised in victory by the referee. However, despite the win she looks like she still doesn’t care at all and simply leaves the ring and goes backstage ignoring the cheers from the crowd.)
Flannery McCoy: A dominant victory by Sierra this week. She is rolling across the roster as there can’t be anyone who wants to step in the ring with her. Arel got blown the fuck out this week! Hopefully this W will improve her mood going forward! Sierra is back on the right track!
Stew-O: Most definitely however this is Dynasty. Oftentimes the more impressive you look in the ring only inspires the hunters backstage to want to take you down even more! Sierra may need to watch her back!
Jake Mercer: Indeed and there is a certain someone who I believe is watching this match very very closely that Sierra should be very very concerned about…
(The camera cuts to backstage where Caroline is shown watching the match on a monitor. It’s clear that she still remembers what Sierra said to her the previous week, but still maintains a cheerful expression while she watches the scene. After a bit, Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade out from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades into a setting not familiar to the EAW Universe. An area secluded away from the Fiserv Forum, which exudes a dark and cold aura around it. It’s eerie, with the only sounds being water droplets falling to the ground, leaving an echo while it does so. A light fixture is seen, hanging by a chain on the roof of the setting, before the camera is seen showing someone seated on a chair, with a hoodie on which masks their face. At this point it’s kind of made obvious who it is, with their mask being peeled off showing themselves to be Alex Myers who stares at the camera with a blank, cold expression on their face. Their breaths are sharp, leaning forward while they look dead at the camera. They let the eeriness continue to settle in, soaking in the setting that surrounds them, before they begin to speak.)
Alex Myers: My last stand… that was what it was. My chance to finally prove myself and show the world what I’m made of, beating the very best that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer and making one hell of a mission statement because of it. It was never farsighted, especially considering I was THIS CLOSE… before I fell. I climbed so high, only to fall so far, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt, because it does. It always does when you end up falling short, it’s just not what we’re here for. We’re here to win, we’re here to be the best, we’re here… to REDEEM ourselves. But when that doesn’t happen, you’re left here asking the same old question that you’ve always asked yourself in situations like these… What’s next? You’ve failed, so what are you going to do from here? To be honest I think I’ve replayed this one too many times before. Sitting here with my head down in despair, talking to all of you and trying to wrap my head around the circumstances that I find myself in. It’s tiring, and it hurts more than I can say out loud. Then just when I think I have it all sorted out in my head, just when I think that I have the key to all my problems…doesn’t fit in the lock. Then here I am again, and it just repeats like a broken record… I’m going to make sure that this is the last time.
(Alex pushes away from the chair that they’re sitting on, shoving it away before pacing around the room a couple of times, running their hands through their hair not in a pissed off way, but with more enthusiasm seen in their eyes than anything else. There is a fire lit beneath them.)
Alex Myers: I will make sure that this is the last time I’m forced to sit here and give you this whole pity party of despair. I will make sure that we never have to reach this point again, and when I begin my climb back up, I will never look back again. Because sure, I lost to Andre Walker. I will give credit where credit is due and be the bigger person in this scenario by saying that he pinned me to the mat and showed why he deserved to be in the finals, and good on him. But I want to make sure that the next time an opportunity like this seems to come around, that I’m not on the receiving side, I’m the one that is seizing the opportunity and winning. While you can say I’ve gotten close to that, getting close is not enough for me. Simply getting to that point is not enough for me when I’m more focused on WINNING than anything else. Don’t you see what I’m getting at here? I WANT MORE. But that will not happen if I sit on my ass and watch the clouds go by. I will not even come close if I go on cruise control.
Alex Myers: I’ve realized out of everything else that the main reason I found myself losing in the Semifinals, was myself. While I did all I could in the moment, it was not enough. I don’t know if it will ever be enough at this point, but I will make sure that I do more… in order to get more. It’s as simple as that, and the only way I can do that is by keeping myself on that path and making sure that you see me in the position that I was in regarding the King of Elite tournament again. I am still set on redeeming myself in more ways than one and while I still see the trade to Friday Night Dynasty as a way to do just that, I have not done enough. The King of Elite tournament was a start, you can say that no doubt and I believe that too. But in order to continue I have to make sure that I stay on that path that I see myself on and become better than who I was the week before, and that’s just something that I’ve been doing my entire career. I’ve shown that I can hang with the best, push them to their absolute limit, and furthermore, be the best. The only thing that all of you at home can do, is to watch and see what I have in store for Elite Answers Wrestling in the future. It’s second nature for Alex Myers to steal the show, and now, I’m going to make sure that I reach that next level that I’ve been building towards for months, and it will be nothing more than amazing.
(Alex then turns around and begins to make their way out of the scene, feeling that they’ve said all that they needed to say and sent a warning out to whoever needs it. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to transition from there to elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial for the announcement that Terry Chambers will now be referred to as GUNTHER from now on.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(‘The Joker and the Chiefʼ by Wolfmother hits the speakers to mixed reaction from the crowd, as Aiden Pearce comes out and starts making his way to the ring, looking confident as he looks knows what exactly is waiting for him; a shot at the EAW New Breed Championship.)
Stephie Love: MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, FROM ESSEX ENGLAND, WEIGHING IN AT 198 POUNDS… “THE JUGGERNAUT”… AIDEN PEARCE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Well, we haven’t heard much from Aiden Pearce this week, but he looks ready for his New Breed Championship match!
Stew-O: I honestly don’t think so. He probably is just not ready.
Jake Mercer: HE IS! Aiden Pearce knows 268 technical submission moves, and he could make Kelton tap out, pull out the upset, and leave with the title tonight!
Flannery McCoy: I’mma just pretend that I didn’t hear what you said. :francis:
(‘Last Strike by Polo G replaces ‘The Joker and the Chiefʼ as Aiden Pearce is in the ring already, before Jon Kelton is seen making his way out with his New Breed Championship on his shoulder. The one walking out with him is none other than his manager and girlfriend, Londyn Zelaya. He looks quite confident in himself after easily destroying Angelo Carter last week to retain his New Breed Championship successfully for the second time, as he starts making his way down to the ring, and Londyn simply follows him.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA, WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS… HE IS THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION… “THE CHOSEN ONE”… JON KELTON!!!!
Stew-O: Last week, Jon Kelton did something he clearly wanted to do for quite a while when he retained his New Breed Championship against Angelo Carter after defeating him real quick, which obviously explains why he doesn’t look as angry as he has been the past few weeks.
Flannery McCoy: On a Showdown episode, Jon Kelton could actually pull out a HUGE shocker when he defeated Amir Yusuf and became a TWO-TIME New Breed Champion, and not just that, but also immediately followed it up with successfully defending that championship at Road to Redemption *just two weeks after* against another wonderful up-and-coming Elitist in Jay Jerry Johnson! His start on Dynasty this season may have not been in the best way possible, but he for sure could almost erase that from history by two impressive back-to-back wins the past two weeks!
Jake Mercer: But, all of that is in danger tonight! It’s not at all a sure thing that he will be able to get past Aiden Pearce!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here’s the bell! We’re now underway- but Jon Kelton wastes no time, as runs at Aiden Pearce, connecting with a Clothesline! Aiden gets up from the impact of the move, before Kelton connects with another Clothesline! Aiden gets up from the impact of the move again, as Kelton connects with a third Clothesline!
Flannery McCoy: Jon Kelton turns around, taunting the crowd, as he gains a loud mixed reaction. He turns back to Aiden, getting him back up to his feet- but Aiden pushes him towards the ropes, making him rebound, before connecting with a Calf Kick!
Jake Mercer: Aiden gets up Kelton, as he connects with a Suplex- NO! KELTON WITH THE REVERSAL! HE CONNECTS WITH A SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!! Kelton gets up Aiden, Irish Whipping him into the corner, before running at him with a Corner Spear! Kelton sends him to the opposite corner, not allowing him to fall with another Irish Whip, as he runs at him, nailing him with another Corner Spear!
Stew-O: Kelton gets up Pearce- but Aiden connects with a Roundhouse Kick! Kelton backs off towards the ropes rebounding, before connecting with a Clothesline- AIDEN DUCKS, AS HE REBOUNDS, AND CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK- NO! KELTON DUCKS, NAILING PEARCE WITH A ‘SPOILER ALERT!!!!ʼ ‘SPOILER ALERT!!!!ʼ IT CONNECTS!!!! THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE CONNECTS ON AIDEN PEARCE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Jon Kelton gets up Aiden, BEFORE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTING WITH THE ‘FINAL ATONEMENT!!!!ʼ IT CONNECTS!!! IT CONNECTS!!!! THE STANDING SPINNING HEEL KICK CONNECTS!!!!! KELTON HOOKS THE LEG!!!!! KELTON HAS WON THIS, GUYS!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL?!?! What is he doing? Why did Kelton just cancel the pin? You already had bro knocked out, why the fuck would you do that? Oh no, it looks like Kelton has something in mind-
Stew-O: ‘ETHER!!!!!!!!!ʼ ‘ETHER!!!!!!!!!!ʼ ‘ETHER!!!!!!!!!!!ʼ THE CORSS-FACE IS LOCKED IN!! LOOKS LIKE KELTON IS RETAINING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP- WAIT, NO! HE ALREADY DID!!!!!!! AIDEN PEARCE TAPS OUT!!! HE TAPS OUT!!!! HE TAPS OUT!!!! JON KELTON WINS!!! JON KELTON RETAINS!! JON KELTON HAS RETAINED THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!! JON KELTON IS STILL THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Last Strikeʼ hits the speakers once again, as the crowd gives a surprised reaction to how quick this one went. Jon Kelton gets up with an arrogant smirk on his face, not even shocked at the fact that he just demolished his opponent, but he clearly doesn’t look happy either. He gets handed his New Breed Championship, as he holds it up in the air, before his manager, Londyn Zelaya, rolls in the ring, as the two start celebrating Keltonʼs third successful title defense.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND STILL THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION… JON KELTON!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Just. Like. That. In a matter of seconds, Jon Kelton is able to defeat Aiden Pearce and retain his EAW New Breed Championship for the third time!
Stew-O: As I said, Pearce was just not ready. We just witnessed Jon Kelton make quick work out of Aiden Pearce, and he’s still the Champ! JON KELTON IS STILL YOUR NEW BREED CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: :francis: Ok, I was wrong. Now, Jon Kelton has been on a winning streak lately, and it apparently, it seems like that streak won’t meet an ending anytime soon. Congratulations to Jon Kelton on his third successful title defense!
(Jon Kelton, looking really unhappy and annoyed, asks for a microphone from the ringside area, before he gets handed one by a Referee. Jon Kelton angrily grabs it, as ‘Last Strikeʼ fades out, before Jon Kelton gets that mic right in front of his mouth and starts speaking.)
Jon Kelton: THAT’S ALL I BE GETTING, RIGHT? Some green as fuck rookies who just made it to EAW? First you give me that Cloud Stryfe, and then that prick of an Elitist Angelo Carter, and now THIS? I’M JON KELTON! Former Interwire Champion. Former 24/7 Contract Holder. Two-time AND current New Breed Champion. Only a few could succeed in finding themselves standing where I’m standing, and even less *will be* able to find themselves standing there one day. When I beat Amir Yusuf and won the New Breed Championship on Showdown, THAT was the moment I finally got the chance to redeem myself, and when the StarrStan made the best decision possible for his roster and decided to have me as a part of it, I *did* recognize how much of an opportunity I should use in my favor this one is, but I have to be recognized the way I think I should as well, and the only possible way to give me that recognition is to give me COMPETITION! At this very moment, I DEMAND competition, which means that you HAVE to give me that…or else.
(Kelton, his face looking completely serious and annoyed, drops the mic down to the canvas, as ‘Last Strikeʼ hits the speakers a third time. Jon Kelton raises his New Breed Championship to the air, before rolling out of the ring to make his way to the back, where Londyn follows him, which is the last shot we can see, before Friday Night Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
“They say that the first step towards getting somewhere is deciding whether or not you’re not going to stay somewhere at all.”
(The voice of a narrator begins to come in, the screen still pitch black. For a while, the silence allows the quote to sink in. But it isn’t long after that a film roll begins to unwind footage, emancipating a light in the dark that shines in a bare wall, illuminating it. The first set of footage seen is of current Universal Women’s Champion Ms. Extreme, but not the one of today. Instead, it’s a highlight reel of her time back in YWWA, then LEGION. A voice then begins to come in once more, but not of that narrator, instead, of Ms. Extreme herself. Where she begins to speak in the background while the footage continues to show.)
Ms. Extreme: I get that I’m a household name and a big star today, but back then, it wasn’t always that simple. I’ve spent my whole life fighting to be out of my sister’s shadow, and I don’t think it was any different when it came to my wrestling career.
(It then moves on to show flashbacks of an old promo where she explains how she signed with a non-EAW company to carve her own path and not have the stigma of being Cam’s sister, in which she ultimately succeeded becoming the Women’s Champion in LEGION. But that unfortunately came to a halt on the independent after crashing down fifteen feet from the top of a ladder, leaving her paralyzed for almost a year due to a spinal injury.)
Ms. Extreme: The thought of that injury coming back to bite me in the ass made my mission to return to the squared circle a lot more difficult than one could ever imagine. For that, I was more than expecting for my wrestling career to end. I was able to get my Bachelor’s Degree, I was able to be a site contributor for EAW — the closest I ever thought about getting back into wrestling, but watching Cameron at Territorial Invasion back in 2017, it made me realize what I was missing. I missed being in the ring. I missed the hunger I had about getting in that ring. I missed the thought of having that spotlight on me.
(It then moves on to show her signing to another non-EAW company to continue carving her own path as a wrestler and starting where she stopped, that specifically being REVOLT! Pro Wrestling. It was there that she became one of the top freeweights of the company and alongside that, teamed with EAW Hall of Famer and current Showdown General Manager Hurricane Hawk. When REVOLT! finally merged with EAW in April of 2018, she finally made the jump after all of this time. While her start was a rocky one, finding herself feuding with the Liquid Swordz consisting of Mr. DEDEDE and Impact, she found herself winning the PURE Championship. Her future record breaking reign would set off a successful journey which would lead her to have different feuds and alliances, one of them being The Beating Hearts.)
Ms. Extreme: The Beating Hearts of Voltage was life-changing for me, the entire chapter of it. I had formed a friendship with people I thought I’d never give a second glance to and with that, I thought that we were able to take on the world. It held a special place in my heart for the longest time, and it shaped my personality from there.
(The footage then moves onto show spurts after that consisting of the Barbed Wire Massacre Match at Wicked Games 2019, to the EAW World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber Match at Road To Redemption 2019. The chase for World Championship gold on the Voltage brand was tumultuous, but she got a certain level of satisfaction standing tall with the Interwire Championship in February of 2020. After losing it to Consuela Rose Ava at Pain For Pride XIII she found herself coming up short in the Cash in The Vault match. Leading into Season 14, it was then that Ms. Extreme found herself on the chase for something more…)
Ms. Extreme: I saw the Universal Women’s Championship from the get-go as one of the four World Championships in this company, and I was determined to make sure that it fulfilled what I thought I deserved and that was to win a World Championship and be a Pain For Pride headliner. It was never out of the question, but it did take me some time. From vying to get an opportunity in the Women’s No Way Out match at Fighting Spirit 2020, to Cash In The Vault at Pain For Pride XIII. Although all of those ended in unfortunate defeats, I used those to make myself better, to motivate me beyond anything else. It pushed me even further, from getting about a hair away at Road To Redemption 2020 all the way to Battle of Egypt 2 where I finally, finally, won the Women’s No Way Out match… and then, I did it.
(It shows the aforementioned match where Ms. Extreme gets the pin on Alexis Chambers and comes out on top in the Women’s No Way Out match, securing her another chance to fight for the Universal Women’s Championship. Before finally getting to Pain For Pride XIV, where she finally did it, finally succeeded and beat Darcy May Morgan to win the Universal Women’s Championship. While confetti rains down from SoFi Stadium, Ms. Extreme raising her newly won Championship is the last shot seen before it completely fades off once more.)
“Your struggles don’t define you, but they can refine you.”
(A different set of films begins to play now, this time showing footage of Andrea Valentine when she signed with EAW in late 2016. She debuted in early 2017, which was short-lived after being sent back down to developmental for an undisclosed reason. But once she came back in late 2017, she never looked back. She returned to a lot of hype and praise and comparison to other major players at the time and managed to surpass every single expectation in the process.)
Andrea Valentine: I definitely remember those days, when I was dared to sign up for wrestling. It’s a point in my life that I’ll never forget because it’s what got me here. It was never meant to be that way, if things went as intended I wouldn’t be here, I’d be interviewing the person in my place. But my course changed, and I’d be stupid to trade it for the world. Were there some hardships? Of course. I made a lot of mistakes where the only thing I could do after was live and learn, and that’s exactly what I did.
(It then moves on to follow 2017 into the new year of 2018, which wasn’t the best year for her especially considering the highs and lows that she experienced in the process. One example being when she won the Openweight Championship at Pain For Pride Festival in June only to lose it at Territorial Invasion 2018 just three months later. As well as winning the Specialists Championship at Road To Redemption 2018 only to lose it less than two months later at King of Elite 2019.)
Andrea Valentine: It was disheartening, and it would be for anyone if you were in the position that I was in three years ago. Anyone else would’ve quit, but I realized that those types of things just happen in this business. I used that to make myself better, propel myself forward.
(Moving on, it shows her journey after that where she never stopped pushing and just continued to work hard. She was determined to get to the spot that she was destined to be in, eventually becoming a two-time Specialists Champion as a result. Which ended up leading her to tie the record of longest reigning Specialists Champion alongside the late, great Brody Sparks. Then from there, it only continued to go upward from there when she entered the Sunday Night Voltage brand during Season 13. Where, midway through the Season, she ended up winning the EAW World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber and won her first World Championship, beating Charlie Marr along with four other competitors at Road To Redemption 2019.)
Andrea Valentine: I was all about making history, and before Road To Redemption 2019 the Specialists Championship was a prime example of that. I felt that the EAW World Championship was a way to make some more necessary history, accomplishing something that would be truly extraordinary and ultimately, making everything I had been through up to that point worth it. I marched into the match with a purpose, and I got the biggest win of my career as a result. I think that’s pretty fucking amazing 😌.
(Highlights are then shown of Andrea’s EAW World Championship reign, defending the Championship against the likes of Terry Chambers, Charlie Marr, Malcolm Jones, and Mr. DEDEDE. It was a little over half a year into her reign where Rex McAllister won it off of her at Pain For Pride XIV, but her impact on the Voltage brand was not forgotten at all.)
Andrea Valentine: I didn’t see myself losing the EAW World Championship as discouraging, though I can see why people believed that otherwise. I was excited, ready to see what was next for me. More importantly I was proud of everything I managed to accomplish, grateful that I got there in the first place and looking to capitalize on that success as well. I mean, who knew what Season 14 had in store for me 🤷♀️.
(Moving on, footage is then shown of Andrea’s time on both the Dynasty and Showdown brand during Season 14. She found herself in the World Championship picture on Dynasty once more at Territorial Invasion 2020 going up against The Visual Prophet and ending the night in defeat. Upon her trade to Showdown afterward, after a brief stint she found herself unfortunately sidelined with an injury. One that wouldn’t heal until she made her return in the 2021 Grand Rampage match, which then led to her closing the Season off in a Beating Hearts triple threat standing tall against Consuela Rose Ava and Raven Roberts at Pain For Pride XIV.)
Andrea Valentine: Season 14 wasn’t… memorable to say the least. It was certainly a dark spot in my career especially with the injury mid-Season, so it didn’t really do any favors to my rep. But with that, moving into Season 15, I was determined to rekindle that fire that got me to the heights I found myself in during Season 13 and make an impression people wouldn’t forget. If you ask me, I think I did pretty well for myself 😄.
(It then shows glimpses of her run during Season 15 so far, her World Championship venture which ultimately led her to confronting Ms. Extreme during the Christmas show. Which enveloped them into a feud which would reach its tipping point midway, feeding their fire even more heading into their illustrious and historic Universal Women’s Championship match set for King of Elite 2021! The last shot seen is both Andrea and Ms. Extreme staring a hole into one another before the video package begins to come to a close from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to real time while the camera pans out from a television screen which was showing the Universal Women’s Championship video package before but is now showing the generic Dynasty graphic. The scene is then focused on Andrea Valentine who was watching it alongside Dynasty’s Head Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort. Andrea turns her attention away from the screen and towards Michael while he begins to speak into the microphone he’s holding.)
Michael Belfort: Andrea, I just wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on the video package or just the feud in general with Ms. Extreme? I know the Universal Women’s Champion had some words to say last week on Voltage and I’m sure everyone is waiting to hear your response.
Andrea Valentine: Yeah, let’s talk about that actually. I heard what she had to say, and it was interesting to say the least 🙃. Camille called me a management favorite who gets handed everything because that’s her go-to. I’m someone who knows her best, and all she’s ever known how to do is to be spiteful of other people’s success and use it as a narrative to pretend it’s held her back personally. I mean, I’m sure you heard how she talked about Cameron in that 🤫. I’ve praised Camille multiple times, especially since the Christmas show when I put her on my radar. She’s a big deal in the wrestling industry and that’s been the case dating all the way back to 2010. But apparently she’s mad at the world and holds some type of weird grudge because she wasn’t called the future of the business eight years later in 2018 when girls much younger than her were emerging onto the scene while she was being used as a doormat for the Liquid Swordz 🤨.
Andrea Valentine: You can’t call yourself the future when you’re at the latter half of your career and have already been through what should’ve been a career-ending injury that led you to what should’ve been permanent retirement. But nope, that’s not the narrative we’re running with 🥴. Camille is someone who loves to criticize everybody for the same things she happens to benefit from and the only reason it’s a problem when she PERCEIVES other women doing the same thing is because it threatens her position in EAW. That’s the real difference between the two of us in case you didn’t know. Because while that might be the case for her, I don’t look at another person’s success as my own personal setback and I don’t get jealous and start spouting out conspiracies because another girl emerges and carves a path for herself, I have done the complete opposite. You have never once seen me crying about management favoring another woman over me or not taking responsibility for my own setbacks, I have been adamant on making it known that it has happened throughout my career. It’s something that a lot of women in the back should learn a thing or two about. When it’s time for somebody to smell their flowers, it’s their time; and when it’s my time, it’s my time. King of Elite is my time and I don’t think I’m going to let that bitter last resort of a Champion stop me from getting my deserved flowers 😌.
Andrea Valentine: But there was one thing that Camille also said to me regarding the Universal Women’s Championship, and it’s the fact that it was only a Championship that I was just settling for compared to one I’ve been chasing since the beginning of the Season like the World Heavyweight Championship. But in reality, maybe it’s just her projecting her true feelings about that Women’s Championship she holds onto me 🤷♀️. Because if I’m not mistaken, it was CAMILLE who refused to wrestle in the women’s division. She was never a part of Empire and spent years with a head start competing with the males before the brand folded… only for me to lap her and win a male-dominated World Championship while that’s something that she has only ever come close to doing. Now, I’m going to go on and win the Universal Women’s Championship as well and it’s not because I see it as myself settling for a last resort, but because I see all World Championships as equal and it doesn’t matter which one I go after, I’m going to shine regardless. You know, like what you were saying as well. Sure I’ll admit my EAW World Championship reign had its ups and downs, but it wasn’t all that bad and unlike Camille, I find the best in any situation, even ones that don’t go exactly as planned.
Andrea Valentine: I became better from everything that happened from Season 13 to 14 to 15 and it wasn’t a matter of the “old Andrea Valentine” dying like you said, it was a matter of the “old Andrea Valentine becoming better and stepping up to that next level that I know I can reach. Sure it did take me a bit to get to this point, mid-Season challenging for your Championship when you were just begging me to do so earlier. But in the end I think it did work out well. Because after all these defenses that you have under your belt, it’s time for me to step up and certify why I’m going to be the toughest of them all. Say what you want to say about me, and I’ve heard a lot. I’m here and I’m coming for the Universal Women’s Championship. I’m ready for a war at King of Elite, one that will tear the house down, and in all honesty… I can only see it ending one way.
(Andrea then turns around and makes her way out of the scene, leaving Michael Belfort as the last shot in the camera frame before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade back into the sounds of ‘On and On’ by Missy Elliott blasting through the speakers while the camera cuts over to the stage to show Lisa Wren making her way out from the backstage area to a mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly consisting of boos. She has her arms crossed and a scowl on her face while she makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL….INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA….WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS….LISSAAA WRREENNNNN!!!!
Stew-O: Here comes the woman with a chip on her shoulder especially after what happened in the Empress of Elite tournament a few weeks back. Last week she showed a different side to her by pulling the wool over the referee’s face against Serenity Valdez and coming out with the victory in a cheap fashion. Now she’s managed to find herself in a fatal fourway match at King of Elite and I don’t see a better way to get herself into the Specialists Championship picture than that. But in order to do so, she has to get past three other people, which I’m sure she has absolutely no problem doing.
(‘Recreant’ by Chelsea Grin then begins to play up from there to the sound of even more boos. The camera then goes over to show the imposing Ximena Velasquez making her way out to the stage with a scowl on her face. She looks rather pissed off for a good reason as she stands with her hands on her hips before making her way down the ramp and towards the ring, making a beeline wasting zero time doing so in the process.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM EL PASO, TEXAS….WEIGHING IN AT 180 POUNDS…..XIIMMMENNNNAAAA VEEELLLASSSQUUEEZZZ!!!!
Flannery McCoy: I’m sure Ximena is more than unhappy here tonight. She was inches away from reaching the finals of the Empress of Elite tournament but was ultimately shut down by the one and only Dr. Bethany Blue. While it was a well-deserved win for Bethany, I’m sure Ximena is not too pleased about it. Even though she does find herself booked for King of Elite, that doesn’t mean she’s very satisfied either. And I think the way she’s going to vent out her rage is going to be here tonight in this matchup!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And here we — LOOK UP ON THE RAMP!
(Serenity Valdez walks out, a ting like she’s not planning on doing anything as both women in the ring look at each other with suspicion.
Jake Mercer: LA REINA GRACING US WITH HER PRESENCE!! :blessed:!!
Flannery McCoy: Anyways, it looks like Serenity wants a better view of her competition come King Of Elite, Although I think she might have more on her mind.
Serenity Valdez (no mic): Go ahead, wrestle and all.
Stew-O: XIMENA STRAIGHT AWAY GOES FOR A SPEAR LOOKING TO TAKE OUT LISA WHO WASN’T PAYING FULL ATTENTION!!! BUT NO!! LISA LEAPFROGS HER AS XIMENA LANDS IN THE CORNER! LISA RUNS AND DELIVERS A HIGH KNEE KNOCKING XIMENA BACK INTO THE CORNER! LISS RUND AGAIN AT XIMENA IN THE CORNER…BUT WITH ONE ARM, XIMENA PICKS UP LISA AND SLAMS HER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Jake Mercer: Ximena takes a second to check her nose for blood. She now mounts on top of Lisa, and she is raining down the stiff right hands and elbow shots as Lisa is trying to cover up, but to little success. Ximena easily picks up Lisa and Irish whips her into the ropes, and goes for a clothesline, but Lisa ducks it and runs even faster off the opposite ropes…..AND A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE KNEE DROPS XIMENA DOWN TO ONE KNEE! SBD LISA FOLLOWS THAT WITH THE DDT SPIKING XIMENA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT!! SHE TAKES HER DIWN AS SHE GOES FOR THE EARLY COVER!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: And Ximena powers out, and Lisa was expecting that as she tries picking up XImena, but Ximena pushes her away and rolls out of the ring! LISA TRIES TO TAKE HER OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE – BUT XIMENA DELIVERS AN ELBOW THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, STOPPING LISA DEAD IN HER TRACKS! AND UH OH!
(Ximena and Serenity come face to face on the outside with Serenity showing no fear smiling from ear to ear.)
Serenity Valdez (no mic): I’m not your opponent. Hurry along now.
Jake Mercer: We stand a queen who shows no fear!
Stew-O: Ximena rolls back in the ring not taking her eye off Serenity, and she goes back on the attack….AND CHARGES AT LISA, BUT LISA COUNTERS IT WITH A HURRICANRANA! Both ate down trying to race back to their feet, AND – LOOK UP AT THE STAGE AGAIN!!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S NARIKO! Much like Serenity, she might want an up close and personal look at her competition, or to make sure Serenity doesn’t try anything.
(Serenity has her hands up in innocence and Nariko walks down, staring at her, before shifting her focus to the action inside the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: It’s starting to feel a little crowded out here. But both competitors are back up to their feet, AND XIMENA GOES FOR A SPINNING LARIAT, AND LISA DUCKS, AND LISA HAS XIMENA IN A SLEEPER HOLD, PUTTING ALL HER BODY WEIGHT ON THE BACK IN XIMENA, AND SHE MANAGES TO DROP XIMENA DOWN TO A KNEE. BUT NOT FOR LONG AS XIMENA STANDS BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE AND RAMS LISA INTO THE CORNER!!
Jake Mercer: Ximena delivers an uppercut, before lifting Lisa on the top rope, and Ximena joins her up top, and she delivers several right hand shots, but Lisa is trying to fight back on the top ROPE, AND LISA USES HER FLEXIBILITY AND DELIVERS A HIGH KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Ximena looks stunned, AND LISA CONNECTS WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE! XIMENA LANDS RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS LISA GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: AND XIMENA KICKS OUT! Lisa right away stands up, and she runs towards the ropes, BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF XIMENA, AND THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX CONNECTS! Liss is stirring in the corner as she pulls herself up, AND HERE COMES XIMENA WITH A FULL STEAM OF MOMENTUM – AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE SPLASH IN THE CORNER – FOLLOWED BY A HIGH HIP TOSS!!
Flannery McCoy: Ximena steps out in the APRON and climbs up to the top rope, taking a look at both Nariko and Serenity on the outside before redshirting her focus on Lisa….AND SHE DELIVERS HER FLYING ELBOW DROP RIGHT TO THE HEART OF LISA WREN! AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE WIN!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: AND A KICKOUT FROM LISA! Ximena doesn’t waste any time as she picks up Lisa off the mat, and she’s going for the dagger in this match as she sets up Lisa for the “XV”!!! BUT LISA THROWS AN ELBOW SHOT FIGHTING OUT OF IT, AND SHE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT! AND LISA PUSHES XIMENA FORWARD FROM THE BACKSIDE, BEFORE XIMENA TURNS AROUND AND RUNS INTO A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE FROM LISA!!
Flannery McCoy: AND LISA GOES FOR A SUPERKICK!! BUT NO! XIMENA CATCHES THE FOOT, AND LISA BEGS FOR MERCY. XIMENA SPINS LISA AROUND BUT LISA TRANSITIONS INTO A DOUBLE LEG LARIAT TAKING XIMENA DOWN! Ximena pulls herself up with the ropes and Lisa was lying in wait as she charges – BUT XIMENA SENDS LISA OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A BACK BODY DROP!!
Jake Mercer: Ximena falls to a knee in the ring, which causes the referee to check on her quickly….BUT LOOK!! SERENITY FROM OUT OF NOWHERE DELIVERS A KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF LISA AND SHE GETS OUT OF DODGE QUICKLY AS NARIKO TRIES TO GET AHOLD OF HER!! BUT SERENITY SIDESTEPS AND SENDS NARIKO INTO THE STEEL STEPS!! THE REFEREE HAS NO IDEA OF THE CHAOS THAT’S HAPPENED AT RINGSIDE!!
Stew-O: Lisa slides back in the ring, holding her head – AND XIMENA GOES FOR HER SPEAR!!! BUT LISA LEAPFROGS OVER THE TOP OF HER HEAD! AND SHE ROLLS UP XIMENA FROM BEHIND!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: XIMENA ESCAPES OUT OF IT!!! Both are up and….XIMENA CATCHES LISA WITH A BEAR HUG! XIMENA IS SQUEEZING THE ABSOLUTE LIFE OUT OF LISA, BUT LISA IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, AND SHE BEGINS DOGGING HER NAILS INTO THE SKIN OF XIMENA, AND FINALLY SHE LETS GO OF THE GRIP!!
Stew-O: FOREARM TO THE FACE OF XIMENA! AND THEN LISA FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A HIGH KNEE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!! LISA LOOKS TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING FOR HERSELF AS…SHE HITS A SUPERKICK! THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FIRECRACKER, AND LISA GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Stew-O: XIMENA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! And now it’s Lisa thinking of what to do next in this match. And this time it’s Lisa who goes up to the top rope. She quickly glances over to Serenity on the outside, and Lisa….LISA GOES FOR A MOONSAULT….
Jake Mercer: NOBODY HOME!! XIMENA MOVED AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! Both women are down in the center of the ring now, as Serenity takes a closer look, with a grin on her face, liking what she’s seeing so far with Ximena and Lisa pushing each other to their limits.
Stew-O: Lisa and Ximena both stand up gingerly in the center of the ring, and Ximena throws a stiff right hand to the face of Lisa! AND LISA THROWS A RIGHT HAND BACK! LISA! XIMENA! LISA! XIMENA! AND LISA THROWS A KICK TO THE SIDE OF XIMENA’S HEAD!! AND LISA GOES FOR ANOTHER ROUNDHOUSE KICK – BUT XIMENA PICKS UP LISA IN A POWERBOMB POSITION ON HER SHOULDERS….
Flannery McCoy: BUT LISA WREN TRANSITIONS THAT INTO A SPINNING HURRICANRANA!! BOTH ARE UP, AND LISA…INSIDE CRADLE PIN!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT XIMENA REVERSES THE PRESSURE INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE OF HER OWN!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND LISA ESCAPES IT AGAIN, AND BOTH WOMEN RACE UP TO THEIR FEET — SPEARRRR!!!!! XIMENA TAKES OUT LISA WREN WITH HER DEVASTATING SPEAR!!! THE HOOK OF THE LEG!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….XIMENAAA VEL–
Stew-O: RIGHT FROM BEHIND, SERENITY ATTACKS XIMENA!!!! SERENITY MOUNTS XIMENA AND IS RAINING DOWN ELBOWS AND TIGHT HANDS! SERENITY IS TRYING TO GET AN ADVANTAGE IN THE FATAL FOUR WAY RIGHT NOW BY WEAKENING HER COMPETITION!
(Serenity stands and taunts above Ximena.)
Jake Mercer: The future Specialists Champion! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: She ain’t done as she picks up Serenity by the hair, but Ximena is trying to fight back, AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER! THEY NEED TO BE SEPERATED! — BUT LOOK!!!!
Stew-O: OUT OF NOWHERE, NARIKO TAKES THEM BOTH OUT WITH A CROSSBODY! IT’S NARIKO WHO STANDS TALL GOING INTO KING OF ELITE!
Flannery McCoy: Will this be the scene after the fatal four way match next weekend?
(The final shot is of Nariko standing above the three women in the ring while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown featuring the Specialists Contender match between Ximena Velasquez, Serenity Valdez, Lisa Wren, and Nariko at King of Elite 2022!)
(Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade into the backstage area of the Fiserv Forum where the camera begins to pan Dr. Bethany Blue into view. She is seen preparing and getting ready for her match tonight which is against Hikari Kanno. She looks more determined than ever and is looking to make a statement especially with her fellow Empress of Elite finalist Miku Sakai on commentary as well. She then puts the training equipment she was using down and begins to make her way through the halls and towards Gorilla Position. But before she can get there, she’s stopped abruptly by Dynasty’s Head Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort who she politely greets with a nod and a smile.)
Michael Belfort: Bethany, if it doesn’t take up too much of your time, do you have any thoughts about your match against Hikari Kanno coming up next, or even the Empress of Elite finals one week from now where you’ll be going up against Miku Sakai?
(The slightest hint of a scowl is seen on the face of The Good Doctor, reminding her of what truly matters and that’s Miku. But she shakes it off and begins to respond.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Yeah, of course. While it would be more ideal for me to save what I have to say regarding the Empress of Elite finals for the week leading into King of Elite, I would never turn down the opportunity to speak about my good… good friend Miku Sakai. I haven’t been short on saying it and I will say it again to nail down flat how important this is to me. I have been waiting a long time to get my hands on her. For reasons that should already be known, it’s safe to say that this match in particular has been a long time coming for myself. Because two times before this have we found ourselves in the ring against one another, and two times have I found myself falling short against her in the end. Is it a pleasant memory? Of course not, it’s safe to say remembering back to those times makes me a very bitter person, because it just reminds me of how many opportunities that she’s stolen from me in the end. From IDOL-GUN preventing my chances of getting the Unified Tag Team Championships at King of Elite 2021, to meeting an upset losing to Miku for the Specialists Championship at Territorial Invasion 2021. It’s not easy to forget, not at all, and it boils my blood that I’ve only ever got the chance up to this point to plan her downfall. Because getting a win against her is something that has managed to elude me for a calendar year now, I will make sure that it does not continue, I will redeem myself.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I’ve had to hear her run her mouth for months now, saying that she has my number and on any given day she could step right over me like I’m nothing. I couldn’t do much, the only thing I could do was listen and jot down notes, until now. Because finally I get the chance to step up and say what I need to say towards her, and make a mission statement that history will not repeat itself again if I have something to say about it. Because even if it’s the last thing I do, I will put my all into making sure that it’s rectified. Then when it is, I will gain an insurmountable level of satisfaction because of it. I’ve mentioned the two opportunities that I’ve lost beforehand thanks to her, and while it’s not a bright spot and it pains me to mention in the first place, it has motivated me to make sure that she doesn’t get the chance to go for a three-peat. Especially when it comes to this Empress of Elite tournament, because it means so much more to me than it ever could for her. If there’s one thing that you’ve heard me say, it’s that this trade to Friday Night Dynasty is one that was for the better. It rejuvenated my career and gave it new life, and I will be forever grateful for that opportunity. But to say that I’m just going to settle for that is stupid, because it’s not enough for me. I have a lot more on my mind that I seek to accomplish and I will not stop to get it. While the trade could have very well been everything that I could ever want getting away from Showdown, I can only consider it a start for bigger things to come.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I’ve been talking about getting a World Championship for months now, it’s something that has constantly been on my mind. Because believe me, I am someone that has done a lot here in EAW, but despite that, winning one of the four World Championships is the one thing that I’ve been constantly chasing after but every single time it’s ever so slightly been out of reach. I sought a lot of ways to get it, but out of all of it, I see the Empress of Elite tournament as the best bet, the best way to get one step closer to that goal, closer than I’ve ever been before. Nothing has stopped me since I set my mind on it heading into the new year, and anyone who has tried has seen first hand exactly what I’ll do to get my way. Don’t believe me and you can ask the three other people in this tournament who tried to prove me wrong. I’ve fought so hard to get to this point for so long, I gave it my all to get some median of satisfaction that now finally, I get that chance to knock out two birds with one stone. The most I can say is that Miku Sakai better be real careful with what she says heading into King of Elite.
(Bethany seems confident in her words, a smirk growing on her face after she says that while Michael nods. He then continues on from there asking another question to her.)
Michael Belfort: Well there’s also the possibility of her poking her head into your match against Hikari, especially considering the collective unit of IDOL-GUN and what they’d do for eachother. What are your thoughts on that? Are you up for the challenge?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I mean, why wouldn’t I be? I’ve weighed that option, and I’m sure if there’s one thing that Miku would absolutely love to do, is mess around and send a message at my expense. But I will make sure that one way or another, that does not happen. It’s not an impossible challenge for me, and even if it is, I will make it possible. I am one of the most hard-working and dedicated people in this company, I have proven that I am very skilled in the craft and I have what it takes to wrestle at the level of the best. With that in mind, any scenario that is thrown my way I feel I can adapt to and work with. A little numbers advantage in Hikari’s favor is not going to sway me in the slightest. I welcome Miku to do whatever she wants and put her dirty little hands into this match, but I guarantee you, I will find a way around it. I will face both of them if I have to, and I will stop at nothing to make sure that I end the night exactly how I’ll end King of Elite, with my hand raised high in the air. That’s my mindset as of now, and just like I said before, it’ll be a lot before somebody gets the better of me. Now more than ever I need this victory, I need this win in order to solidify myself as a future World Champion. There needs to be not a single hint of doubt left in anyone’s heads, and I don’t see any better way to do so than by beating the snot out of somebody that I wasn’t able to do before and reprimanding myself. Then when it’s all said and done, you will have no choice but to call it as it is. Dr. Bethany Blue.. E.O.E!
(Bethany’s face turns cold, determined for not just what happens tonight but at King of Elite as well in the Empress of Elite finals. She is determined not only to win the tournament, but to redeem herself against someone that has haunted her for months now, and who knows what lengths she’ll have to go in order to do it. Michael lets Bethany have her moment, before saying his goodbye.)
Michael Belfort: Bethany, thank you for joining us.
(Bethany then passes by her and continues to make her way towards Gorilla Position, with her match up next, leaving Michael standing in front of the camera with a smile on his face and the microphone still in his hand. It’s the last shot before Friday Night Dynasty fades to the inside of the ring. Stephie Love is shown with a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face ready to announce the next match on hand! Inside the ring upon returning from commercial break is Stephie Love ready to announce!)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Red Criminal’ by The Oral Cigarettes begins to play and from the back comes Hikari with Miku at her side, the two of them rolling their eyes at the crowd. Hikari can be seen sporting bandaging around her arm as she starts down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Miku Sakai, from Okinawa, Japan… weighing 121 pounds… HIIIIIKKKKKAAAAAAARRRRRIIIIIII KAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: In just a matter of moments, we’ll be having Miku Sakai joining us at ringside and I’m sure that’s going to be…. a lot.
Flannery McCoy: Not only that, but for everyone who doesn’t know, the bandaging from Hikari’s arm is for having been set ablaze during her deathmatch against Mary S. Atlas on Voltage this past Sunday. I’m not sure what would make her want to compete in light of that, but we’ll see how things go, I guess :lupe:!!!
Jake Mercer: You say that like she’s even looking concerned! Hikari’s CLEARLY ready to show that despite her injuries, she’ll be on fire with her ring performance :mjgrin:
Miku Sakai: I FUCKING HEARD THAT, DIPSHIT!
Jake Mercer: :krabs:
(Seen just putting on her headset is Miku Sakai, who rolls her eyes at Jake and takes her seat in the chair provided for her.)
Stew-O: Thanks for joining us, Miku, we’re looking forward to your insight-
Miku Sakai: Shut the fuck up and let’s get on with the massacre of Bethany Blue. She’s gonna lose – what more insight do you need?
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen begins to play and the crowd cheers as Bethany makes her way out into view on the stage.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent, making her way to the ring from Miami, Florida… weighing 125 pounds… DOCTOR BEEEETTTTTHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNYYYYYYY BLLLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: Bethany has been on a mission since this Empress of Elite tournament started to be in the finals and win it, but to do that, you and her will have to meet in the ring, Miku! How much are you looking forward to facing off against a competitor like Bethany?
Miku Sakai: “A competitor like Bethany” should speak for itself in a statement like that, but if I had to say, then it’d be that instead of “M.D.” she should be calling herself Bethany Blue M.I.D. because this bitch isn’t on my fucking level.
Flannery McCoy: You two have met before in the ring with you beating her for the Specialists Championship, but since coming to Dynasty, Bethany has proven herself to be one of our best talents and I don’t think that should be overlooked.
Miku Sakai: Do I look like I give a fuck? Because I don’t. All she’s done is complain and complain and complain about how she hasn’t gotten what she think deserves – a whiny fucking cunt like that doesn’t deserve shit as far as I’m concerned, and I’m gonna make sure she doesn’t get her way when I beat her ass at King of Elite.
(Bethany makes her way into the ring joining Hikari, but not without staring down Miku and then looking back to Hikari as the referee rings the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Hikari cautiously circles the ring with Bethany going around across from her, Kanno looking to take her time and wisely choose a point of attack before they go to lock up- Hikari ducks around Bethany and pulls her into a waistlock BUT BETHANY JUST STRUCK THE ARM WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BANDAGED ARM AND HIKARI IMMEDIATELY PULLS AWAY!
Miku Sakai: CHEATING BITCH!
Flannery McCoy: AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT BETHANY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF, GRABBING HIKARI FROM BEHIND AS SHE TURNED AWAY FROM BETHANY AFTER GETTING HIT, AND NOW FINDS HERSELF GETTING THROWN WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX FROM BETHANY! Hikari sits herself up holding her arm and Bethany catches her with a running knee strike to the face, knocking her back but then yanking her off the canvas by her hair and pulling her arm behind her back, LIFTING HER OFF HER FEET AND THEN DROPPING HER WITH A HAMMERLOCK POWERSLAM! HIKARI GETS DROPPED RIGHT ON HER ARM!
Jake Mercer: Hikari rolls on the mat clutching at her arm that she just had practically all of her own weight slammed down on, and it certainly didn’t do anything to help with how she’s still having to heal from her burns from Voltage!
Miku Sakai: Are you trying to call her fat?! Fuck you, Jake; she’s a fit, athletic queen! The same can’t be said for that annoying cunt, Bethany, who needs to go out of her way to try to worsen Hikari’s injuries because she can’t win on her own talent! Just look at the way she’s stalking Hikari while she makes her way to the ropes trying to get herself back up – it’s honestly so unfair to Hikari right now!
Flannery McCoy: Well, she got into the ring and is looking to follow through on the match the best she can; if she wasn’t 100% sure this was a good idea, then I’m sure everyone would’ve been understanding-
Miku Sakai: And give this bitch Bethany an out by saying that either of us are too afraid to face her?! Are you fucking insane, bitch?! As if we’d EVER hand Bethany a reason as to why we’d ever forfeit against her :mjlol:!!!!!!
Stew-O: You’re laughing, Miku, but it’s really no laughing matter for Hikari as just when she got to her feet, Bethany swept the legs to get her back on the mat and now she’s stomping all over the former Unified Tag Team Champion! Hikari’s having trouble trying to defend herself right now with one arm and Bethany’s holding nothing back!
Miku Sakai: Can the referee step in and fucking do something? She’s blatantly cheating right now seeing as how Hikari is on the ropes and his dumbass isn’t even trying to get Bethany back; the referees here on Dynasty are fucking shit! Disqualify this cunt!
Flannery McCoy: :skip:
Jake Mercer: The ring official finally does get Bethany back as she stepped away at a count of four and with her hands raised to show that she’d comply for the moment. Hikari’s got the middle rope to try to raise herself up and Bethany goes in on her-
Miku Sakai: BUT HIKARI USES HER BRILLIANT MIND TO PULL DOWN THE ROPE AND SEND BETHANY OUT OF THE RING! WHAT A QUEEN :blessed:!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany pulls herself up from the ground with the help of the apron only to raise up into a boot to the face as Hikari turned on the mat and kicked her leg out under the bottom rope! The former Specialists Champion goes back down and Hikari quickly rolls out under the bottom rope, grabbing a hold of Bethany by her hair and shorts TO SEND HER INTO THE STEPS HEAD-FIRST! BETHANY’S HEAD BANGS OFF THE SIDE OF THE STEPS AND HIKARI’S STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF HER WHILE SHE’S GOT HER DOWN!
Stew-O: Bethany is trying to cover up but Hikari is seizing the moment to ensure that she can inflict as much damage upon Bethany as she can! That injury she’s working with has pretty much left her with no choice but to take every opportunity she can to wear down Bethany in an effort to win!
Miku Sakai: You say that like she wouldn’t obviously be on a path to victory any other time :mjpls:
Stew-O: Hikari pulls Bethany up, slamming her face off the steps and then roughly swinging her around to bash her head off the apron! Hikari rolls her into the ring and makes the pin!
OOONNNEEE!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TTTHHH-
Miku Sakai: A kickout? Ugh, she should’ve just stayed the hell down. Watching her trying to compete where she doesn’t compare is boring as fuck, and the only thing making any of this interesting is seeing how Hikari’s capable of proving her injury isn’t doing anything to hold her back.
Jake Mercer: Hikari gets to her feet and leaves Bethany on the mat only to kick her in the ribs, sending her to the ropes where Blue finds herself with Hikari’s knee down on the back of her neck! Hikari pulls on the top rope for leverage while Bethany’s stuck on the bottom rope and with nowhere to go while Hikari takes full advantage of the five count that the ring official is instructing her to abide by! Bethany takes the moment to try to pull herself up to her feet but Hikari swiftly kicks her from behind to send her stumbling into the turnbuckles and proceeds to beat down on the cornered Empress of Elite finalist! Hikari then takes her to the mat with a snap suplex and floats over to end up in position for a series of mounted punches to the face!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany looks to be having some trouble getting back into this after her collision with the steps and Hikari seems to know that she absolutely can’t allow Bethany Blue even the slightest moment to get back in on the offensive here, as Bethany’s proven herself to be a difficult competitor to overcome.
Miku Sakai: How difficult can she really be when she couldn’t even win in the match that SHE chose to have against me? I get she’s on your guys’ shitty roster now but you guys are really just saying anything :mjlol:!!!
Stew-O: Would you really think to underestimate Bethany after that, Miku? It just seems like more motivation for her to make up for the fact that she lost you in the way she did.
Miku Sakai: She can be motivated all she wants for having been nothing more than an embarrassment, but I’ve got no fucking reason to doubt myself; I embarrassed the fuck out of her, took a Championship, and now, like the queen I am, I’m taking my crown! She can go on and on about how much she’s changed, but I’m going to continue to be so much greater than however good she thinks she’s gotten since Territorial Invasion.
Flannery McCoy: Definitely a bold statement to make but if there’s one thing that can be counted on, it’s Miku Sakai never lacking in confidence. And Hikari hasn’t been lacking in this match herself as she’s dominated Bethany since not long after the bell. Hikari finally comes off of Bethany and brings her up as well to whip Bethany into the corner before going in after her- BETHANY KICKS HER IN THE FACE JUST AS HIKARI WAS ABOUT TO LEAP AT HER! Bethany comes out the corner with plenty of fire power as she starts battering Hikari with forearms to the face before taking her down with a short-arm clothesline! Hikari gets yanked up and struck down with another as Blue keeps hold of the arm, only to force Hikari up once again and she whips her into the corner where she connects with a clothesline in the turnbuckles!
Stew-O: Hikari gets launched to the mat off an exploder suplex from Bethany and Bethany proceeds to hit off the ropes before coming back to Kanno and hitting a low dropkick! Hikari tries to push herself up but Bethany’s already beat her to a vertical base and steps on the hand of the arm that had been burned on Voltage! She digs her heel into the top of the hand and Hikari’s efforts to try to push her off are futile, AND BETHANY SWIFTLY COMES OFF OF THE HAND AND KICKS THE ARM OUT FROM UNDER HER! HIKARI LOSES THE SUPPORT OF HER ARM AND SHE FALLS TO THE MAT, AND BETHANY COMES DOWN WITH A DOUBLE KNEE DROP TO THE ARM!
Miku Sakai: And she’s just allowed to do that?! :wtf:
Jake Mercer: The exchange between Hikari and Bethany over the week was getting quite vicious, so I’m not surprised to see Bethany coming into this and exploiting her injury to make a statement: she’ll stop at nothing to get what she feels she deserves! Bethany raises up off the arm and bends it back with Hikari’s palm placed on the mat just next to her head- BETHANY STOMPS DOWN ON THE ELBOW AND HIKARI LETS OUT AN AGONIZING SCREAM AFTER IT CONNECTS! HIKARI IS WRITHING ON THE MAT AS SHE CRADLES HER BANDAGED ARM CLOSE; THAT PAIN MUST BE EXCRUCIATING!
Miku Sakai: :yikes:
Flannery McCoy: The referee is down beside Hikari as she had rolled to the ropes and he’s trying to check to see if she can still compete, only to get shoved back once she’s gotten assistance in sitting up against the ropes! Shouting that she can still go, Hikari Kanno tries to pull herself up BUT BETHANY CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE HEAD WHILE SHE WAS BENT OVER! Hikari falls over into the ropes and Bethany takes her overhead in a fallaway slam that drops her on her back, leaving her open to a running senton and Bethany throws her weight down on Hikari, staying on top for the cover!
OOONNNEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TTTHHHRRR-
Stew-O: HIKARI’S SHOULDER COMES OFF THE MAT AS SHE SHOOTS HER ARM UP, BUT BETHANY CAUGHT IT AND TRANSITIONED RIGHT INTO “THE DISLOCATION”!!! HIKARI HAD TURNED OVER JUST ENOUGH IN THE KICKOUT UNDER BETHANY FOR BLUE TO GET RIGHT INTO THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR AND SHE’S PULLING AS FAR BACK AS SHE CAN ON THE ARM!! HIKARI IS SHOUTING AS SHE TRIES TO FIND SOME WAY OUT OF THIS AND EVEN TRIES TURNING DIRECTIONS, BUT BETHANY SIMPLY MOVES WITH HER AS SHE HAS THIS MOVE LOCKED IN TIGHT!
Jake Mercer: DYNASTY SUPREMACY :drakelike:!!!! BETHANY IS PUSHING BACK ON THE HEELS OF HER BOOTS LIKE SHE’S GOT ALL THE INTENTION OF DISLOCATING HIKARI’S ARM, AND WITH THE INJURY SHE’S ALREADY SUFFERING FROM, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT WHERE SHE WANTED TO FIND HERSELF STUCK!
Miku Sakai: Bethany is so fucking sick and twisted, it’s pathetic she’s trying to permanently injure this queen just to try to make a statement toward me! She’s obsessed; Hikari didn’t do shit to deserve this gross treatment!
Flannery McCoy: Hikari is stuck on the mat trying to claw her way to the ropes but she’s getting nowhere; it might be better for her in the long run if she just taps out-
Miku Sakai: EXCUSE YOU?! SHUT THE FUCK UP, FLANNERY! HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT ABSOLUTE, UTTER BULLSHIT! HIKARI ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO OUT TAPPING TO THIS INSUFFERABLE CUNT!
Flannery McCoy: :whoa:!!!!
Stew-O: The screams coming from Hikari might suggest otherwise even it looks like she’s starting to get somewhere despite how she’s got Bethany stuck on her back! As Hikari moves Bethany does her best to keep the submission properly applied and she calls on Hikari to tap out; there’s no way it hasn’t crossed her mind at this point with all she’s been forced to endure with her arm! Hikari is determined to make it to the ropes despite all her yelling, knowing that she’s only prolonging her struggling!
Jake Mercer: Bethany starts hitting punches over the back of the head with one hand understanding that Hikari’s resilience is going to continue to be a factor, and anything she can do to wear that down is only ever going to be beneficial! Hikari starts angling the lower half of her body and Bethany leans further back into the hold- HIKARI GETS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! HIKARI GETS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE TO FORCE A BREAK AND BETHANY IS GOING TO BE FORCED TO LET GO OF THE ARMBAR! BUT SHE DOESN’T DO IT RIGHT AWAY, GROWING FRUSTRATED BEFORE THE REFEREE STARTS A COUNT AND BETHANY SHOVES HIKARI’S ARM AWAY!
Flannery McCoy: You can tell that Bethany was so sure she was closing in a victory there up until Hikari got her foot on the rope, but she has to stay focused and not let that start to get the better of her.
Miku Sakai: I’m not surprised that that weak-minded bitch is getting mad – she knows that her chances of beating someone of Hikari’s caliber even with that injury are going to end up getting shortened with Hikari refuses to lose. But if she’s mad now, it’s only going to get worse at King of Elite where she’ll continue to struggle!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany is distanced away from Hikari by the referee and he returns to Hikari who’s slowly making her way up to her feet. I’m not sure what’d make her think to continue this match but it’s certainly a risk to her career :lupe:! Bethany goes charging after her but Hikari gets her foot up which is caught by Bethany, a smirk growing on Bethany’s face up until Hikari pulls her leg in and strikes with a forearm to the face! Bethany’s forced to let go and that’s when Hikari ducks down to pop a stunned Bethany up over the top rope, but Bethany manages to land on her feet-
Stew-O: HIKARI GRABS BETHANY’S HEAD AND DROPS DOWN SO THAT BETHANY’S NECK IS SLAMMED DOWN OVER THE TOP ROPE! BETHANY’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND THAT’S JUST THE OPENING HIKARI WAS LOOKING FOR AFTER HER ARM WAS GETTING BRUTALIZED! Bethany collapses to the apron holding her throat after that hot shot, and Hikari begins getting to her feet inside the ring with a dark look of hatred for Bethany who she reaches through the ropes for and begins to bring her over the middle rope INTO A DRAGON SCREW NECK WHIP!! BETHANY GETS SWIFTLY PULLED INTO THE RING AND DROPPED DOWN RIGHT ON HER NECK!!
Jake Mercer: Hikari begins to pummel the hell out of Bethany with punches and throws in a number of knee strikes while holding her against the mat, aiming all at the face! Bethany makes it to the ropes in her efforts to get away and manages to make it to her knees to push Hikari away despite the onslaught, and tries to charge at her for a clothesline but Hikari ducks and hits an arm-trapped kneeling neckbreaker! Bethany pops up out of being pulled backward holding the back of her neck AND HIKARI SPINS ON HER KNEES TO TURN AROUND AND HIT A CHOP BLOCK! BETHANY DROPS TO A KNEE AND HIKARI RUNS TO THE ROPES AND COMES BACK WITH A LOW ANGLE BOOT THAT KNOCKS BETHANY TO THE MAT!
Miku Sakai: And this is why I never doubted her :blessed:!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Hikari gets Bethany up to her feet and looks to lift her for a suplex- no, Bethany blocks it by getting her leg around Hikari’s! Hikari tries to lift her up again but to no avail and Bethany gets her head out from under Hikari’s arm and clubs her over the back! Bethany runs off to the ropes across the ring and charges back to Hikari ONLY TO GET A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! Bethany is stopped in her tracks as Hikari’s foot flies off the mat and connects with her face before Hikari throws a knee up into her gut! “KANNO SUPER BUSTER”!!!! BETHANY GETS PLANTED WITH A GUTWRENCH SITOUT POWERBOMB THAT SEES HER HEAD HIT THE MAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!! HIKARI MOVING IN FOR THE PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TTTHHHHRRR-
Stew-O: A KICKOUT BY BETHANY!
Miku Sakai: She really wants to force everyone to watch her continue to try to wrestle? This bitch is evil as fuck; I don’t know why IDOL-Gun gets so much hate when someone like Bethany exists!
Jake Mercer: Bethany’s head has been a target from the beginning of the match and Hikari’s tried to capitalize on that just now only to no victory; Bethany refuses to give up!
Miku Sakai: Maybe she should since King of Elite isn’t going to end with her winning, either.
Flannery McCoy: Hikari gets to her feet and kicks Bethany to the ropes, trash-talking her as she does so and Bethany begins to get a ton of stomps directed at her as she’s trying to raise herself up but Hikari is determined to give her hell in this ring! Hikari has the referee beside her warning her that he’s about to start five-count but he might as well be talking to a brick wall since she’s only continuing- Bethany catches the boot and Hikari can’t yank herself away! Bethany begins to shift her legs so that she can get up without having to release her hold on Hikari’s foot, and Hikari’s bouncing on one leg yelling at Bethany to let her go, but Bethany refuses and Hikari tries to swing but Bethany leans out of reach! AND BETHANY YANKS HER FORWARD BY HER LEG INTO A NASTY CLOTHESLINE THAT STRIKES HER DOWN!
Stew-O: HIKARI RAISES UP INTO A SECOND CLOTHESLINE AND GETS UP A SECOND TIME NOW, TURNING AROUND INTO A SPINNING LARIAT THAT FLOORS HER WHERE SHE STANDS!!! Bethany looks fired up as Hikari is slow to turn over on the mat in an effort to get up and she grabs Hikari for a double underhook suplex! Hikari gets thrown across the ring and comes off the mat going to the corner for reprieve, only to get none as Bethany launches herself in with a set of jumping double knees as soon as Hikari turns around! Bethany repeatedly clobbers her in the corner and the referee comes hurrying over to tell her to bring the action out the corner, and she goes to whip Hikari across the ring but Hikari counters by sending Bethany at the last second-
Jake Mercer: “TJD”!!! BETHANY GOES IN FOR THE SUPERKICK- SHE HITS THE REFEREE?!!!?!?!?!!!! BETHANY STOPPED HERSELF AND SHOT AT HIKARI FOR THE SUPERKICK, BUT ACCIDENTALLY STRUCK THE REFEREE!!
Miku Sakai: What a stupid-ass bitch! Now who’s going to count Hikari’s winning three-count?!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany looks shocked as she stands over the referee, looking down at him before Hikari takes advantage by running Bethany into the corner and starts hitting shoulder thrusts! She’s going to use this chance to wear down Bethany as much as possible, and there’s no one to stop her! Hikari slaps Bethany across the face as she backs away, Bethany looking out of it after getting Hikari’s shoulder rammed into her stomach over and over, and Hikari charges in only to get sent over the top rope and BETHANY KNOCKS HER OFF THE ARPON WITH A DROPKICK TO THE LEGS! HIKARI’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE APRON AND SHE FALLS TO THE FLOOR!!
Stew-O: Hikari is down and out right now and Bethany hurries to the ring official, trying to shake him- Where’s Miku Sakai going?!
(Miku Sakai takes off her headset and can be seen hurrying over to Hikari, checking on her while she’s down on the ground and trying to get her to quickly regain consciousness after she’s been seemingly knocked out. What she doesn’t see though, is Bethany exiting the ring and coming over until Bethany’s standing over the pair!)
Stew-O: Miku’s telling Bethany to get away from them but Bethany’s having none of it, SHOVING Miku away from Hikari and then grabbing Hikari to roll her into the ring! Bethany tells Miku to stay out of it and then goes to climb up onto the apron, but Bethany finds herself stopped by Miku who grabs her ankle! BUT BETHANY KICKS HER IN THE FACE TO SEND HER AWAY! Miku goes down and Bethany turns her attention back to Hikari, who grabs Bethany and runs her across the apron from inside the ring and to the corner where she bounces Bethany’s face off the top turnbuckle! Hikari climbs the ropes and reaches over them to grab Bethany and begins to force her up the turnbuckles from the outside, clubbing Bethany over the back as she does so- but Bethany begins fighting back! Bethany striking Hikari in the gut before repositioning herself to having Hikari hooked up-
Flannery McCoy: BETHANY TAKES HIKARI KANNO OVERHEAD AND TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR WITH A SUPERPLEX FROM THE TURNBUCKLES! BOTH OF THEM GO CRASHING DOWN AND THEY HIT WITH A SICKENINGLY HARSH THUD! NEITHER WOMAN IS MOVING AFTER BETHANY BLUE JUST TOOK A HUGE RISK, AND I’M NOT SURE WHO GETS THE BETTER OF THAT IN THIS SITUATION AFTER A FALL FROM THAT HIGH UP!
(Inside the ring, the referee begins to stir.)
Jake Mercer: Maybe Bethany was feeling the pressure of having to deal with Hikari and Miku and thought it’d pay off, but who knows if it will now?! She has to get herself back up and then drag Hikari back into the ring in time!
(Miku crawls over to Hikari having been down on the ground herself after Bethany kicked her in the face and she naturally is compelled to check on Hikari after that wild fall from the turnbuckles. The referee is up on his feet in the ring and looks around for both competitors, only to find no one else is there.)
Stew-O: The referee’s looking for Hikari and Bethany, and sees Miku moving on the outside! He makes his way over with a hand to his head, no doubt still feeling the effects of that superkick that wasn’t intended for him, and he looks down over the ropes to see Hikari and Bethany both still out of it!
Flannery McCoy: The ring official is trying to determine what happened, perhaps whether or not Miku got involved to cause this while he was out, but he’s got no way of telling and neither woman is moving-
(DING! DING! DING!)
(In a mix of confusion and loud booing, the crowd watches on after the referee had called for the bell before calling over Stephie Love, who he speaks to through the ropes and she merely nods along before turning away from him and raising her microphone to address the crowd.)
Stephie Love: As a result of the ring official’s decision due to Bethany Blue and Hikari Kanno both being incapacitated, the ruling of this match is a no contest!
(The crowd boos, understandably wanting to have seen the match continue but neither woman appears to be in any condition to do so.)
Flannery McCoy: An unfortunate ending to what was looking to be a great match between Bethany and Hikari, but they just haven’t moved since taking that fall!
Jake Mercer: Even with her injured arm, Hikari was really trying to do all she could to bring down Bethany but Bethany refused to let herself be taken down at her hands – instead causing both of them to be taken out!
(The referee calls for medical assistance for both women and EMTs hurry over to help Bethany and Hikari. They ignore Miku telling them to leave Bethany to rot and put all their attention on Hikari, and Hikari is helped to her feet with Miku naturally checking on her as she seems to finally be coming to. Bethany is also helped up by another set of EMTs and Hikari is assisted away from ringside ahead of her with Miku following next her. However, Miku looks back over her shoulder and then looks back to Hikari.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I can take over from here…
Stew-O: MIKU SAKAI JUST RAN PAST HIKARI AND LAUNCHED HERSELF INTO BETHANY TO TAKE HER DOWN AMONG THE EMTs! MIKU HAMMERS AWAY AT BETHANY WHILE SHE’S GOT HER DOWN AND BETHANY IS FLAILING ON THE GROUND, HAVING BEEN UNPREPARED FOR THIS ATTACK BY HER KING OF ELITE OPPONENT!!!
Flannery McCoy: MIKU COMES OFF OF BETHANY WITH A HANDFUL OF HAIR AND RAMS HER INTO THE BARRICADE, HAVING SHOUTED AT THE MEDICAL ASSISTANTS TO BACK AWAY FROM THE SCENE! BETHAN DROPS TO A KNEE AS MIKU SAKAI CONTINUES TO BEAT HER DOWN AND CLUBS HER OVER HER HEAD, LETTING BETHANY ABSOLUTELY HAVE IT!
Jake Mercer: Miku backs away and calls on Bethany to get up! The former Unified Tag Team Champion clearly setting up for something as Bethany begins to get to her feet- “NIGHT NIGHT”!
Stew-O: NO! BETHANY CAUGHT HER MID-MOVE AND SHE RUNS MIKU SAKAI INTO THE RING POST! THE BACK OF MIKU’S HEAD HITS THE RING POST AND SHE’S CARELESSLY DROPPED BY BETHANY! BETHANY BEGINS KICKING AND STOMPING DOWN ON MIKU, TAKING OUT ALL HER FRUSTRATIONS ON THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, AND THESE TWO SIMPLY DESPISE EACH OTHER ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS ALL HAPPENING RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany drags her up and slams her face off the apron, shouting at Miku for attacking and she then sends her into the corner of the barricade causing Miku to crash into it! Miku limps away holding her side but Bethany isn’t about to let her get away, rushing her and grabbing a hold of her and Miku gets a hold of her as well as they start swinging on each other! The two of them aren’t about to let the other get the better of them or back down, and we’re definitely gonna need extra help down here immediately!
(Miku and Bethany’s brawling takes them back toward the corner of the barricade, the two of them trying to push the over it and they end up falling over to the other side into the crowd! Even as they try to get up, they kick at each other and continue to throw punches when they can on their way to their feet, getting further into the crowd where their fight continues on!)
Stew-O: THEY’RE IN THE CROWD! THIS HAS GOTTEN COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND AS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT! MIKU AND BETHANY ARE STILL GOING AT IT EVEN AFTER A FALL OVER THE BARRICADE – I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT KING OF ELITE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE!
Jake Mercer: If it’s anything like this, I’m looking forward to it! But here comes security to ruin all the fun and it seems like it was only just starting to get even better! These two aren’t about to be holding a damn thing back at King of Elite; and we just got a preview of that just now!
(Bethany and Miku are seen getting pulled apart by security, the two of them trying to get in their last few kicks as they’re dragged away by their arms. Their full-on brawl is ended in a shouting match – if they can’t get in the last punch, they’re definitely going to try to get in the last word. While they’re taken in different directions that lead to getting backstage, the scene begins to fade out.)
(A commercial is seen for the Empress of Elite finals with both Dr. Bethany Blue and Miku Sakai going head to head in a Territorial Invasion rematch at King of Elite 2022!)
(“Leaving Caladan” by Hanz Zimmer explodes as the fans immediately begin booing upon hearing the song. Out slowly walks Andre Walker with Albert Hitchman next to him. Andre holds his Interwire Championship above his head as the two men slowly stroll down the entrance ramp towards the ring. )
Stew-O: All eyes and pressure is on for The Interwire Champion Andre Walker. Andre is in prime position for what will be up until this point the biggest match of his career. Andre has done so much in such a short amount of time and with a victory at King of Elite, Andre could make history.
Jake Mercer: Andre has to go through two other elitists in order to accomplish this feat, Stew-. Chris Elite and Adam Lucas are just as equipped to leave victorious.
Flannery McCoy: This is true, but Andre may have the most momentum and gravitas to actually succeed versus those other two men.
(Andre enters the ring as he hands his title to Hitchman. Albert stands tall behind Andre with the belt high as Andre looks around and chuckles at the amount of people unapologetically booing him. Andre lowers his head as his music begins to fade on cue. The boos continue as Andre is handed a microphone and looks around one more time before staring at his Interwire championship hanging above Albert’s head.)
Andre Walker: How long can you hold that belt up?
Albert Hitchman: I’ll hold it up high until we’re done with this business here, champ.
Andre Walker: Of course…
(Andre turns to the camera and begins to speak.)
Andre Walker: It’s been a good ride for me so far, hasn’t it Albert? This King of Elite tournament has seen some upsets and some predictability in many cases, especially in my case. Cloud, Andrews, Myers…all fell short of their goals before they ever entered that ring with me. They never had a chance to make it to the finals because they were placed on the same show as me. They never had a shot at becoming King of Elite simply because they were on the same side of the bracket as me. I ended last year losing to Ronn Banks and since that night I’ve been engulfed in a passionate, piercing rage that has not stopped and has led me to where I stand right now. On the cusp of immortality, I learned a valuable lesson from Ronn and I plan on passing it onto each and every opponent from here on out. One thing everyone must know also is I don’t take setbacks lightly. I don’t make the same mistake twice and when my entire being is applied towards one clear cut goal…I don’t fail. I will not go two marquee events in a row with defeat as the lasting impression from my performances. This brings me to King of Elite and my two opponents standing precariously in my way.
(Andre tilts his head and stares at the camera..)
Andre Walker: On Voltage I had the opportunity to look both of my finalists opponents in the eyes face to face, the eyes never lie. Behind the tough talk and the bravado I could tell their hearts pump kool aid and neither one of those men have what it takes to get past me. That was just the beginning of what will be me eviscerating Chris and Adam at KoE. The funny thing that binds us besides the King of Elite match is the fact all three of us broke out in this company by defeating Mr. DEDEDE. Chris Elite being the first person between us to accomplish this yet it took him almost a decade to break out so it’s not that impressive to me. Adam Lucas needed an assist from Banks who held his hand throughout it all, leaving me as the only person who simply did it based on my own merit, talent, and greatness all while being a rookie. Even as a rookie, my standing in this industry is more respected than both of my opponents. Chris Elite’s name used to garner respect and fame and now look at him. Look how far he has fallen. Stuck grappling onto Jake Smith and the Unified Tag Team Championships as a last resort attempt to stay relevant. Chris Elite is self imposed in a self defecating, self deprecating, worthless tag team with fellow underachiever Jake Smith just to win titles in a dead division. Chris is useless and spineless and he’s held a GAWD contract that grants him even more power than KOE ever could for 4 years and it hasn’t done shit for him so why would a KOE crown make any difference? Chris Elite is damaged goods. Fucked up beyond all repair. It is what it is with him at this point.
(The fans boo Andre as Albert’s arms start trembling after holding the belt up this entire time.)
Andre Walker: ITs funny, you know? When I was a rookie, I did receive a fair share of comparisons with most of them landing on Chris Elite. I can’t deny it, Chris Elite was indeed someone I THOUGHT was worthy of admiring but it became clear after some time that I was head and shoulders better than he ever was. Even as a rookie. Now? I’ve evolved into something and someone that nobody in Elite Answers Wrestling could reach. Especially Chris…
(The fans are frantic and feverish as Andre leans against the ring ropes and continues.)
Andre Walker: And especially Adam Lucas. Don’t think of yourself as an afterthought, Adam. Even though we both were considered rookies and I won Rookie of the year over you. Back around that time, I was able to make you an afterthought but now? I’ve made you just utterly irrelevant. It’s something I would think you’d be used to right now. When we both were on Friday Night Dynasty last year I was always the bigger name. They even used to joke with Albert and myself backstage and refer to you as my number 2, Adam. Mainly because no matter what you do in this business…you will always be a step behind me and I’ll always be a step ahead of you. I’ll always accomplish things before you and as long as I’m around you will never be considered a main attraction like you undeservingly believe you should be. All shit talking, shit stirring, and shit eating grins cast aside…I acknowledge the talent Chris and Adam both have. I acknowledge that it took a lot to make it this far and I respect it from the bottom of my own heart. Adam and Chris absolutely deserve to be where they are right now as King of Elite finalists. But in the end both of them are going to come up short because Andre Walker does not plan on walking out of Houston without a crown on his head. I’ve always been a king without a crown, but at King of Elite it becomes official.
(Andre drops the mic as Hitchman finally lowers the belt from over his head. Albert rubs his sore arms as Walker grabs his belt and his theme music begins playing.)
Stew-O: Bold words from the man that just might become our next King of Elite!
Jake Mercer: Andre Walker is as confident as “Flippy” Freddie Fredricksson from Sandy Cheeks Championship Wrestling. I remember watching Flippy Fred climb a ladder duct taped to another ladder just to hit a swanton bomb onto a guy laid across a whole nother ladder. Insane shit, Stew. Top shelf fucker!
Flannery McCoy: King of Elite has the makings to be top shelf fuckery itself. I know I can’t wait to see Adam, Chris, and Andre get it on!
(The last shot seen is of Andre standing at the center of the stage, turning around and raising the Interwire Championship one last time before the cameras fade to black from there.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
