(EAW intro plays.)
(Once the intro finishes, we immediately cut to a cold open showing off the office of Richard Grant and Kesingten Calhoun-Astor. The camera slowly pans over, showcasing the opulence of the room: velvet drapes in deep red and navy, gilded portraits of Richard and Kensingten posing grandly, along with a portrait of President Donald J. Trump in the middle, and a large display wall showcasing various framed headlines and magazine covers highlighting his achievements including his 2024 Election win. The camera lingers on a shiny, gold-plated “MAGA 2024” sign, surrounded by red, white, and blue balloons and streamers. The room is buzzing with notable guests mingling in the background. Familiar conservative figures are engaged in conversation, laughing as they sip champagne. A server, dressed in a navy suit adorned with a “Keep America Great” pin, moves through the room with a tray of hors d’oeuvres, offering mini dogs, sliders and other stereotypical American classics. Richard, with a smug grin and a red tie, raises a glass, drawing attention from the crowd. Kensingten stands beside him, elegantly dressed in a red, sequined dress that sparkles under the office lights. She clinks her glass against Richard’s, and together they step forward to address their guests.)
Richard Grant: Ladies and gentlemen, patriots, and champions of our great nation! Tonight, we gather here not just to celebrate a victory, but to honor the very values that built this country: hard work, determination, and, of course, winning.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Absolutely! Even if we may not be in the States for this evening, that doesn’t take away from the fact that we continue to bleed red, white and blue! Justice has been realized, the American people are saved, and our glorious President will take back control, just like how we did when we assumed the mantle of general manager fully.
Richard Grant: Oh, I have longed for this day, just like all of you. No more fake Amercians. No more degenerates. No more bad faith actors looking to sully everything we have worked hard for. It just goes hand in hand. We stand here tonight not only as a beacon to the rest of the world and a reminder of what true leadership looks like. This is a victory not just for one man, but for everyone who dared to stand up, who believed in the power of a united, unwavering America, and just as we took up the job here, leading EAW with courage and conviction, we know that America, too, is in strong, capable hands.
(Richard’s words are met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd, with several guests nodding in agreement and some even chanting “USA! USA!” He pauses, basking in the admiration, before continuing.)
Richard Grant: Now, let’s talk about what this win really means for all of us here and for the future of EAW. We’re here to keep the values we cherish alive, to push forward with strength, and to make sure that no one, and I mean no one, threatens our legacy.
(The camera zooms in on a few guests, some exchanging approving glances, others with determined expressions, as if rallying to this shared cause. The energy in the room intensifies, with murmurs of agreement filling the air.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Yes, tonight is just the beginning, my friends! We’re not only celebrating what’s behind us but looking forward to what’s ahead. Just as President Trump will secure a legacy for the nation, we intend to do the same here. Strong leadership, unwavering values, and a clear path forward. These are the pillars upon which we stand, and through all of them and more, Dynasty WILL succeed.
(Kensingten places a hand over her heart, smiling and closing her eyes.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: … Because like President Trump, we will not falter and we will not fail.
(A tear sheds down her cheek.)
Richard Grant: We won’t. And so long as Trump continues to do right by us, we will do right by EAW. May God continue to bless us and our wonderful nation.
(He wraps his arm around Kensingten’s waist, bringing her closer. Then, he raises his glass higher, meeting the eyes of the party guests.)
Richard Grant: To a prosperous future for Dynasty, for EAW, and for America!
Party Attendees: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Everyone raises their glasses, and with that, the scene fades.)
(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. Once that’s done, a live view of the Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec is shown off before the camera shot goes inside. The fans are loud as can be and pyro goes off. Afterwards, Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are seen. One thing to note, however, are the American flag pins on their jackets and blazers.)
Stew-O: EAW Universe, welcome to Friday Night Dynasty! I am Stew-O, and as always, I am joined by Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy!
Jake Mercer: You think they’ll have those mini hot dogs saved by the time I’m done commentating for the night?
Flannery McCoy: Seriously? That’s what you want to focus on? Jeez…
Jake Mercer: What? I missed out on lunch today!
Flannery McCoy: Whatever, man. You can worry about that later. Right now, we have a huge show to get to, and to open things up, it’s the man who has left a strong impression after making his return last week!
(After that introduction from Flannery, the camera shot transitions towards the stage. The lights dim slightly before the piano intro of ‘Still D.R.E’ by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg plays. Then, the full song blares out. Impact steps out, with the fans offering conflicting reactions. Impact, polarizing as ever, gives off a swarmy smirk as he makes his way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome EAW Hall of Famer, and ten-time world champion… IIIIIIIIMPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACT!
Stew-O: Here he is! The multi-time former world champion and hall of famer himself! Last week was a shocking moment that sent ripples across the EAW universe as Impact returned during Joso’s homecoming, and he announced that he will be competing in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship!
Jake Mercer: And boy, what a shock it was. We discussed at length how much the odds are stacked against Joso as the defending champion considering this is his first title defense for the championship AND his first time competing inside a chamber, but when one of your opponents is Impact, someone who knows all about competing in that sort of environment? There’s a lot you have to worry about.
Flannery McCoy: And let’s not forget, Impact’s made it crystal clear that he’s not here for a nostalgic trip or a brief return. He’s here with a purpose, with every intention of becoming world champion once more. For someone like Joso, who’s riding the high of his recent success, having someone with Impact’s experience and cunning coming after him adds an entirely new level of pressure. He may have been able to beat him back at Pain for Pride: Kingdom, but with so much at stake, the dynamic has been flipped against the world heavyweight champion. Now, he’s going to have to go through that test yet again, and it’s a more advanced version of it.
Stew-O: Somehow, that’s still putting it lightly.
(Impact enters the ring and is handed a microphone. His theme fades, and the fans’ loud reaction becomes a focal point. Impact grins, looking around for a moment, before he steps forward and cuts through the crowd, letting his voice be known and heard for everyone.)
Impact: Well, it’s good to be back. Truthfully, I have been contemplating coming back for a while now ever since Pain for Pride happened. I lost to Joso, and to be completely honest? I was disappointed. I hated how I was able to play a part in someone else getting their moment in the grand scheme of things. I hated how people thought that there was going to be a changing of the guard at my expense. I hated how everyone seemed to have lumped me in with Madison Kaline, Jack Ripley, Jamie O’Hara and others who retired that night. And honestly? I hated how there were all of these assumptions being treated as fact. I could’ve stayed at home, but you know, I got to thinking, and the more I sat on everything and let everything mingle in my mind, the more I didn’t like the idea of having my legacy be pushed to the back for others to come to the forefront and try to occupy a spot I am more than capable of keeping for myself. Besides, is a losing result at Pain for Pride really worthy of me? I don’t think so. I have never liked the idea of being anyone’s stepping stone and that isn’t going to change all because Joso is so dead set on leading this new era. Not when there is an era already befitting of EAW, and that era very much has me in it leading the charge. I am the past, the present, and the future of this promotion. My blueprints, my fingerprints? There are in every single nook and cranny of this company, and that cannot be denied. Even if an Elitist doesn’t say outright that I am an influence for them, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t impacted by my presence, by what I’ve done, by what I continue to do. The truth is, people want to act like they’re ready to move forward, ready to build some so-called new legacy. But they’re doing it by following the path I laid down, whether they’re willing to admit it or not. That’s the power of what I’ve built here in EAW. I’ve shaped this company, defined this industry, and I am not done yet.
Impact: And that means that, unfortunately for Joso? He’s going to have to give to me what is rightfully mine.
(There’s no remorse on his end. Impact continues, even with the fans cheering and chanting in clear support for Joso.)
Impact: After all, when you think of world champions, you think of me. I am the only Elitist here who has gone double digits with that. No one has been capable of being a true face of this promotion as consistently as me. I have stood at the top across all sorts of eras. Some season Elitists here like to brag about being able to keep up with the current crop, but that sort of right is the most deserving for me. I was here in the beginning, here when EAW had its rough patch, here when so many new, fresh faces were rising after that split, and even was here when some of these recently-christened stars were just on the come up — Joso included. Two years ago, I was world champion while that was just a cute little dream for him. Two years ago I continued to set the bar while he couldn’t even begin to think about playing catch up with me. I was everything he is trying to be right now and more. And that’s the difference between us. Joso, along with all the others, is aspiring to be what I’ve already mastered, striving for milestones I set years ago. It’s one thing to reach the top, but staying there, evolving, thriving, and defining every era, every phase, is something only I’ve done. While others come and go, trying to replicate what I represent, they only scratch the surface of what it truly takes to be a world champion in EAW. I didn’t just keep up. I set the pace, wrote the playbook, rewrote it again and made EAW what it is today.
Impact: But of course, Joso doesn’t seem to think so. He thinks he can be the greatest! The people’s champion! He thinks he can be some sort of longstanding influence when he’s nothing more than an arrogant kid getting ahead of himself. I mean, I don’t really care to give Myles props, but he was right when he called Joso out for flipping and flopping his stance on me. One minute, he was praising me up and down, and then the next, he wanted to call me washed. Mind you, he was the one who wanted to challenge me at Pain for Pride, yet he treated our match like it was some kind of another-day-in-the-office routine, not truly understanding the importance of it, and when he beats me and goes on to be world champion, now he wants to conveniently switch up and fact all of this humbleness. :mjpls: He’s all smoke and mirrors, saying whatever fits the narrative of the moment, and I just don’t have any respect for him because of that. He thought he could boost himself by standing on my shoulders, calling me washed while simultaneously trying to milk my legacy for his own gain, and I did find disrespect in that. So, I made up my mind, and trust me, me returning was long in the books. It wasn’t a matter of if, but when, and when he won at House of Glass, I was actually getting ready to make the phone call until Kensingten and Richard got to me first. The offer was made, I accepted, and well, as the saying goes… the rest is history.
(Impact smirks before continuing.)
Impact: And now, how about I drop a little bombshell on you guys? Because I was actually supposed to be revealed as the surprise entrant in the chamber match at Super Dynasty. Yeah. However, when Dynasty was in Brooklyn and I saw Joso’s homecoming being advertised, I decided to pull the trigger and make my presence known. Now, some may go ahead and call me a hater for that, but honestly? I don’t care. I wasn’t going to sit idly by while he got this grand welcome, celebrated as if he’s some seasoned legend just because he got a couple of lucky breaks. If he’s going to parade around calling himself the future, the so-called “people’s champion,” he better be prepared to deal with the reality check I’m bringing with me. I made the call to step into his moment, to remind everyone exactly who’s still running things around here, and when I’m set on becoming champion again, well… we all know what usually tends to happen.
(Impact then shrugs, feigning pity.)
Impact: Of course, that means that I’m going to be the one to rain on Joso’s parade. I’ll be the one to end his reign before it even has the chance to start properly. But it wouldn’t be my first time clipping someone’s wings before they were able to fly. I won’t lose sleep over it.
(Some of the fans can be heard booing. However, Impact’s smirk only widens.)
Impact: Trust me, I’ve dealt with plenty big shots who thought they were different. Thought they were the exception. Believed they were truly special. Yet, they all wind up dealing with the same fate, and Joso is not only following along the same path, but it’s going to hit him where it truly hurts. Imagine becoming a world champion only to lose it in the first defense? That’s a genuine rarity here in EAW, but that’s going to be the likely outcome once this is all said and done. Inevitable, as a certain someone would say! But that’s how the cookie is going to have to crumble, and at Road to Redemption, we aren’t going to end things with some fabled new era coming to the surface. No. It’s going to end with the familiar sight of me raising a world championship up high into the air, and Joso will see for himself, as heartbroken and shattered as he may be, that his moment that he was so proud of? Is going to be all in vain in the end.
(Impact grins and sets aside the microphone. ‘Still D.R.E’ blares out again.)
Stew-O: What a message. Nothing but confidence there that can only come from years of dominance.
Jake Mercer: You’re absolutely right, Stew! Impact has been a fixture in the most legendary moments in EAW’s history, and he’s proven time and time again that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to hold that title high. And now, with Joso’s reign on the line, Impact has his eyes set on making a statement and showing the world that any “new era” is still leagues away from eclipsing his legacy.
Flannery McCoy: And to think we still have a couple of spots open for the chamber… we have Impact, BRAE and Hans in it, who will all provide unique challenges in their own right for Joso. The question is now, who else will be able to join the fray and shake things up even further?
(The final shot shows Impact standing tall and firm in the middle of the ring, setting the tone for what’s to come, as Dynasty fades to its first set of commercials.)
(A commercial plays for Road to Redemption.)
(‘Gave It Away’ by Red Hot Chili Peppers begins to play all around the Centre Bell as Jay Starr comes out looking flashy and confident.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA…WEIGHING IN AT 218 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE SUPER-STARR’…JAY STARR!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: We are opening up this night of matches with Jay Starr, who has been down on his luck. He’s had a tough time trying to get the ball rolling for himself, but this could be the week where it all turns around for him. This guy is flash. He has confidence. Aura. He has the potential to be great. I feel like this could be the week it all turns around for him.
Stew-O: If there is something that he and Nejari Young have in common, it’s that those two are looking to turn their luck around. While it was a step in the right direction for Nejari, he wants to get that single’s winning record up. He came in with some buzz around the scene. I think that Jay could capitalize and turn that wave of attention onto him, if he’s able to defeat Nejari tonight.
Flannery McCoy: He has made it clear that he cannot lose this match tonight. He is going to need to go out there and put on a performance of a lifetime. It’s going to be tough since he’s facing someone who wants to win as much as him – even more.
(‘Carnival’ Ty Dolla $ign, Ye and ¥$ begins to blare through the speakers as the crowd begins to stand up for Nejari Young. Nejari comes out with all swagger. He raises his hands up and down as slowly, the crowd begins to mimic his energy.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA…WEIGHING IN AT 228 POUNDS… HE IS THE ‘WALKING MAIN EVENT’…NEJARI YOUNG!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Speaking of aura, Flannery and Stew – Nejari Young has arrived out in the scene! He would love nothing more than to keep the momentum from last week going! As you can see, he’s been creating himself a bit of a following here!
Stew-O: Nejari Young has been making some noise on the Dynasty brand! He’s been all around the card and that says something about how the Dynasty management sees potential in him. Tonight, it’s an opportunity to make sure that he continues this small string of momentum that he’s been rebuilding.
Flannery McCoy: The crowd has been up on their feet! I think they would LOVE to see him pull this entire thing off! But, Jay Starr is going to be challenging to overcome since he wants that same thing! But, we’ll see how this goes!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: We get the first match of this edition of Dynasty underway! Nejari Young is looking to get himself on track in single’s action after a few tough weeks. He may have been successful in tag team action with Corey Hale, but one-on-one is going to be a different story! Nejari circles around Jay Starr as the two Elitists look to lock up —
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Jay Starr manages to slide himself out of the ring! He believes that he was being the smarter man here! If Jay is not ready, he doesn’t need to step inside the ring! Nejari Young does not look amused whatsoever! He is trying to exit the ring, so that he can get his hands on Jay, but the referee is looking to give Jay some space before he enters back inside the ring! Jay paces back-and-forth, slapping both sides of his face gently, trying to hype himself up! After all, he’s had a tough few weeks. Maybe, it’s the pressure getting the best of him?
Flannery McCoy: I was thinking that, but this guy is so cocky. You wouldn’t think that the pressure would get the best of him! He seems to be ready to slide himself back inside the ring and he does so! He halts Nejari Young as he tells the referee to keep him back a little more! Nejari is shaking his head as Jay Starr gets to his feet, but Nejari looks to go right after him with a clothesline! But, Jay ducks the clothesline! Nejari tries to catch himself, but Jay manages to connect with a dropkick to the spine as that knocks him to the horizontal set of ropes!
Jake Mercer: JAY STARR SEES THAT NEJARI YOUNG’S NECK IS ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AS HE PROCEEDS TO APPLY A ROPE CHOKE ON THE ‘WALKING MAIN EVENT!’ JAY APPLIES EVEN MORE PRESSURE TO THAT ROPE CHOKE AS YOU CAN SEE NEJARI GOING BLUE, TRYING TO GASP FOR AIR! JAY IS DELIVERING SOME OF HIS OWN FORM OF TRASH TALKING AS CONTINUES ON WITH THE CHOKING!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, JAY!
Stew-O: Jay Starr has no other choice, but to stop choking Nejari Young! The referee takes him back and scowls him a bit! Meanwhile, you can see Nejari Young holding onto his neck, trying to get some air back to his lungs! Nejari tries to get himself to his feet, but Jay assists him up to his feet as he connects with a kick to the gut of Nejari! He connects with a forearm! And another forearm! And another forearm! He pushes Nejari into the ropes before grabbing him by one of the arms and whips him to the horizontal ropes in front of him! Nejari goes to those ropes, but he manages to rebound off of them as he slides underneath the legs of Jay! He gets right behind Jay as he turns himself around and connects with a palm strike to the chest of Jay!
Flannery McCoy: JAY STARR RETURNS THE FAVOR BY CONNECTING WITH A CHOP TO NEJARI YOUNG’S CHEST! BUT, NEJARI CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF JAY! BUT, JAY CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH TO NEJARI! NEJARI WITH A PUNCH TO JAY! JAY! NEJARI! JAY! NEJARI! JAY! THESE TWO MEN ARE TRADING STIFF PUNCHES TOWARDS EACH OTHER, LOOKING TO KNOCK THE OTHER BACK! NEJARI LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT JAY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AS HE RUNS TO THE HORIZONTAL ROPES! HE JUMPS ONTO THEM AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT AS HE LANDS RIGHT ON NEJARI AS HE DROPS HIM TO THE MAT! JAY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Nejari Young with a kick out! Jay Starr looks to keep the momentum going as he takes himself back. But, as you can see, he never takes his eyes off of Nejari! Nejari is trying to scramble up to his feet as Jay looks for the shining wizard! He runs right after Nejari and nearly knocks his head off with the ‘Shining Starr’ as he goes for another pin fall attempt!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: Nejari Young with another kick out! Jay Starr picks up Nejari and gets him in a front headlock! He places him on his stomach on the top horizontal rope! Nejari is dangling like a seesaw as Jay gets himself on the top turnbuckle! I’m not sure what Jay is doing here, but this doesn’t look good for Nejari! He — HE CONNECTS WITH A FRONT SOMERSAULT INTO A LEG DROP AS NEJARI CAN FEEL THE BACK OF HIS NECK DROPPING TO THE MAT ONCE MORE! Jay with an impressive move as he looks to put out the rising newcomer on Dynasty! Jay would love nothing more than to be the one to turn his luck around and for that to be at the expense of Nejari Young who has been in the ring with some of the best on Dynasty, that would provide Jay with a ton of confidence there!
Flannery McCoy: It seems like Jay Starr is not going for the cover there! He is stalking Nejari Young up to his feet before connecting with a running knee strike as that takes Nejari down! Bam! But, it seems like Jay wants nothing more than to make sure that this match ends as soon as possible! He cannot let this match continue on! It might possibly work more in Nejari’s favor, if he does that!
Jake Mercer: Or it could work more in Jay Starr’s favor! You don’t know that, Flann! With a physic like Jay’s, stamina must be something that he has on his side! Jay looks up on the top turnbuckle as he looks to climb himself on top! He might be going for that shooting star press that we’ve seen him attempt in the past! ‘Super Starr Press’ is what he likes to call that shooting star press as he looks to make Nejari a victim of that —
Stew-O: BUT, NEJARI YOUNG IS FINDING HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET! HE LOOKS TO MEET UP WITH JAY STARR ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT, JAY KICKS NEJARI AWAY! BUT, NEJARI GOES RIGHT BACK TO JAY WITH A KICK TO ONE OF JAY’S LEGS, WHICH CAUSES HIM TO SIT ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS — THE ROPE HUNG LUNG BLOWER! NEJARI CALLS THAT ‘GIN AND JUICE!’ NEJARI GOES FOR THE COVER THERE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Jay Starr with a kick out! Nejari Young realizes the same thing as Jay — the longer this match continues, the more mistakes he is going to make! He knows that his best shot is at ending this match right now! He looks to pick up Jay in an electric chair position as he is looking for that electric chair half nelson driver! ‘BTA’ is what he likes to call that move! BUT, JAY MANAGES TO TWIST HIMSELF AROUND, SO THAT HE’S FACING NEJARI AS HE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A COUPLE OF FOREARMS TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD! NEJARI IS LOOKING TO POWERBOMB JAY TO THE OUTSIDE, BUT JAY CONNECTS WITH A HEADSCISSORS ON NEJARI AS BOTH OF THEM ARE SENT TO THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: Both men take a topple to the outside! Who will be the first one to their feet? It seems like Jay Starr is starting to scramble to his feet! Nejari Young is trying to find himself back up, but Jay connects with a knee to the gut of Nejari! NOW, JAY CONNECTS WITH A TORNADO DDT USING THE RING POST AND EDGE OF THE APRON TO HELP SPRINGBOARD AND EXECUTE THAT MOVE! JAY IS STARTING TO FEEL QUITE COCKY AND I DON’T THINK THIS CROWD LIKES HIM TOO MUCH! MUST BE THE WATER IN CANADA!
Stew-O: Jay Starr gets Nejari Young by the back of his head and slams his head against the edge of the apron! That sends the fellow newcomer back as Jay grabs Nejari and connects with a roundhouse kick as that knocks him to his back! Now, we see Jay getting Nejari and rolling him back inside the ring! Jay slides back into the ring and gets himself back up! JAY IS SHAKING HIS LEFT LEG AS HE WAITS FOR NEJARI TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF LIFE BEFORE — ‘OVER THE MOON’ — THE RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER TAKES DOWN NEJARI! JAY WITH THE COVER! WILL HE BE GETTING A RARE VICTORY HERE ON DYNASTY?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NEJARI YOUNG KICKS OUT! JAY STARR CANNOT BELIEVE IT! HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD IT THERE! BUT, HE IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN TO REMAIN CALM, BUT YOU CAN READ IT ON HIS FACE, STEW AND JAKE! HE PICKS UP NEJARI AND BEGINS TO GO BACK UP! HE IS LOOKING FOR THAT SCISSORS KICK! ‘STARRSTRUCK’ ON NEJARI!
Jake Mercer: Nejari Young manages to spin himself out of the way! He connects with a superkick as that sends Jay Starr back! He gets Jay by one of his arms before whipping him to the ropes! But, it seems like Jay sends Nejari to the ropes, but Nejari rebounds off of them and connects with a corkscrew dropkick as that takes Jay down! Nejari does a kip up back to his feet as he is hyping himself and the crowd up! Nejari picks up Jay and drops him back down with a Samoan drop! BUT, NEJARI HAS THE STARS IN HIS EYES! HE IS GOING UP HIGH! I THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH NOW! HE PERCHES HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE AS LOOKS AROUND THE SEA OF EAW FANS! HE CONNECTS WITH A DIVING HEADBUTT TO JAY! ‘LOUISIANA HANGOVER’ IS WHAT HE LIKES TO CALL THAT!
Stew-O: BUT, JAY STARR MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! NEJARI YOUNG MANAGES TO ROLL BACK UP TO HIS FEET! BUT, JAY MANAGES TO CATCH HIM BY SURPRISE WITH A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ‘OVER THE MOON’ ONCE MORE! HE LOOKS TO GET HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE ONCE MORE! HE’S GOING FOR THAT ‘SUPER STARR PRESS’ THAT HE WANTED TO GO FOR EARLIER IN THE MATCH! IS THIS GOING TO BE ALL SHE WROTE?!?!
Flannery McCoy: NEJARI YOUNG KNEW THAT JAY STARR WAS GOING FOR THAT MOVE! HE MIGHT LOOK FOR ‘GIN AND JUICE’ AGAIN! NO! HE CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK WITH JAY ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HE MANAGES TO GET JAY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION BEFORE GOING FOR THAT HALF NELSON DRIVER! ‘BTA’ CONNECTS! NEJARI GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Carnival’ plays once more as Nejari Young rolls off of Jay Starr. A well-fought competitive match. Nejari rises back to his feet as the referee raises his hand up.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…NEJARI YOUNG!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Nejari Young seems to be off track after a victory over Jay Starr tonight! It started last week with a victory in a tag team match. It continues on with a victory tonight! I think that Nejari’s luck is turning around!
Stew-O: I was highly impressed by what I saw from two of the Dynasty brand’s newest talents. Jay Starr brought his a-game tonight. It may not have been enough, but I think that he got the attention of the Dynasty officials with his performance tonight. As for Nejari, I think this will continue to validate the Dynasty officials, who could see him as someone who could be a future champion here. With the right nurturing and teachings, he could be on his way to be part of the conversation and having a breakout year in 2025.
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, Stew! Could not agree more! Well-fought match! Congratulations to Nejari Young!
(The shot then fades from a triumphant Nejari Young to the parking lot outside of the arena. A red Corvette comes rolling in and stops. The door opens up, and Mia Santoro comes out. She grabs her purse and locks the car door.)
Stew-O: Mia Santoro is here tonight! She may not be competing, but she could be here to make her intentions known when it comes to being Daniella Atlas’ challenger for the Specialists Championship.
Jake Mercer: She wanted that match, and she wants to prove to the whole world that she can become a champion, especially when she came to close to becoming the new New Breed Champion back at House of Glass. However, Daniella has been taking her lightly, and that has resulted in Mia getting bold enough to cost Daniella her match against BRAE last Friday! She isn’t going to be denied and she certainly isn’t going to be disrespected.
Flannery McCoy: I don’t blame her for sticking up for herself. However, I do have to wonder if Daniella my not allow for those actions to go unpunished.
Stew-O: That is true. Mia may have gotten herself into trouble—
(**THWACK!**)
Jake Mercer: WHOA! MIA JUST GOT BLASTED FROM BEHIND, BUT BY WHO?!
Flannery McCoy: GUESS I WAS RIGHT TO HAVE MY WORRIES, BECAUSE IT’S THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION HERSELF!
(Mia falls to the floor, gritting her teeth in pain. Standing over her is Daniella Atlas, having nothing more than a frustrated yet scarily-cold look in her eyes. Nothing but malice emanates from the champion as she drops the weapon she had in hand.)
Stew-O: The steel pipe falls from her hands! And now, Daniella latches onto Mia, yanking her up! She hoists her up into the air—
(**CRAAAAAAAASH!**)
Jake Mercer: SHE JUST POWERBOMBED HER ONTO THE CAR!! :damn:!! MIA IS WIPED OUT FROM THAT!!
Flannery McCoy: WE SHOULDN’T BE SURPRISED THAT DANIELLA WOULD’VE BEEN PISSED ENOUGH TO SEEK REPERCUSSIONS, BUT MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE TOO FAR! SHE GRABS MIA AGAIN, AND I THINK SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO DO SOME FURTHER DAMAGE—
Stew-O: BUT HERE COMES SECURITY! THEY RUSH IN AND IMMEDIATELY STOP DANIELLA! THEY GET IN BETWEEN HER AND MIA!
Jake Mercer: That gets her to back off… UNTIL SHE HEADBUTTS ONE OF THEM!
Flannery McCoy: AND SHE JUST NEARLY TOOK THE HEAD OFF OF ANOTHER ONE WITH A BRUTAL LARIAT AS THEY TRIED TO PULL HER AWAY! THE OTHER GUARDS BEGIN BACKING OFF!
(Daniella sneers at the security personnel, threatening as can be. However, she then glances back down at Mia and smirks. With the guards simply too pussy to do anything to her, she walks over to Mia, unclasping the championship.)
Daniella Atlas: You want to face me? Fine. You’ll be getting your chance… but you’ll regret it. Tel l’agneau srupide que vous êtes, vous vous dirigerez vers votre propre abattage.
(A dark chuckle slips through her blackberry-tinted lips. She then walks off. The guards go ahead and try to assist Mia, and some medical personnel come running in to assist as well. Mia is able to sit up, though clearly in pain. However, through gritted teeth, she stares daggers towards Daniella’s direction, not at all ready to be broken and beaten by her.)
Flannery McCoy: Mia’s hurting after that attack, but if Daniella thought she was going to intimidate her, then that is far from the case.
(The last shot shows Mia being assisted up before Dynasty fades back to ringside.)
(The camera pans to Tyson Nicolas Taylor already inside the ring awaiting for his match to begin. ‘The Good Life’ by Kayne West [featuring T-Pain] is playing in the background.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL —
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…ALREADY IN THE RING…FROM KEY LARGO, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 255 POUNDS…TYSON NICOLAS TAYLOR!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: STARTING OFF THIS TRUMP ERA OF DYNASTY WITH SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO THE TRUMP’S —
Stew-O: Jake, stop! Don’t remind me of this! Can we keep the politics away from this table?
Flannery McCoy: I agree with Stew! Not many Elitists may agree with what happened earlier this week, so can we just get on with this. I don’t want to indulge in this.
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim begins to play as the crowd pops for Vincent Mondrian. He comes out looking focused as he looks towards Tyson Nicolas Taylor already inside the ring. He doesn’t look to be in the mood for theatrics and begins to head towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM LAREN, NETHERLANDS…WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS… HE IS ‘VASTO LORDE’….VINCENT MONDRIAN!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now, here is one person Tyson Nicolas Taylor would not want to be stepping into the ring with. Vincent Mondrian does look to be the most pleasant person to be in the ring with. He is calculated, violent and vicious – some of the last things that Tyson wants to deal with. But, maybe the spirit of Trump —OW OW OW!
(Flannery McCoy begins to smack Jake Mercer upside the head with a Dynasty script as Stew-O is completely amused by the entire thing.)
Stew-O: Thank you, Flannery! Now, Vincent Mondrian faced Chris Elite the last time around and was unsuccessful in defeating the Hall of Famer. This week, he has a fire lit underneath him as he looks to take down Tyson Nicolas Taylor.
Flannery McCoy: Recently, he set his sights on the Interwire Championship. Hans Grayson stands on top of the mountain, but a great showing against Tyson Nicolas Taylor could send the message to Hans that Vincent Mondrian could be the successor of that Interwire Championship! But, let’s get this match underway!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: JUST LIKE THAT, VINCENT MONDRIAN DELIVERS A BIG BOOT RIGHT OFF THE BAT TO TYSON NICOLAS TAYLOR! HE GETS THROWN BACK TO ONE OF THE CORNERS AS VINCENT PROCEEDS TO STOMP ON THE RIB SECTION OF THE NEWCOMER! The referee is looking at him, telling Vincent to take a stand back or he’ll risk himself getting disqualified! Vincent is aware of the rules as he picks up Tyson and connects with a huge knife-edge chop to the chest! He gets Tyson by one of his arms before looking to whip him to the corner diagonally from them —
Stew-O: BUT, TYSON NICOLAS TAYLOR COUNTERS THE WHIP AS HE SENDS VINCENT MONDRIAN TO THAT CORNER! TYSON GOES RIGHT AFTER VINCENT WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE CORNER, BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO GET ONE OF HIS FEET UP AS HE KICKS TYSON BACK A BIT! NO! TYSON MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE LEG OF VINCENT! BUT, VINCENT MANAGES TO COUNTER WITH AN ENZIGURI AS HE SENDS TYSON TO HIS SIDE! Vincent looks to pick himself up as he gets Tyson up to his feet! He whips him front first to the turnbuckle at the corner! Tyson clutches onto his rib section as he slowly goes back as Vincent manages to catch him and connect with a forearm smash to the back of Tyson’s skull as that knocks him forward —
Stew-O: BUT, VINCENT MONDRIAN, GRABS TYSON NICOLAS TAYLOR IN A HEADLOCK AS HE APPLIES THE COQUINA CLUTCH! VINCENT LIKES TO CALL THAT ‘FINAL EXPLOSION’ AS T.N.T CAN BASICALLY SEE HIS LIFE FLASHING BEFORE HIS VERY EYES AS HE TAPS OUT! HE LIVES TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY AND VINCENT SECURES HIMSELF THE VICTORY!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ plays once more as Vincent Mondrian continues to have the submission applied to Tyson Nicolas Taylor, but the referee forces him to let go of it. After a while, Vincent releases the hold as the referee raises his hand in victory.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…VINCENT MONDRIAN!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Just like that – Vincent Mondrian manages to nab himself a QUICK victory! He had to wait for the perfect opportunity to go for that coquina clutch. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long! What did you think, Jake?
Jake Mercer: 🥲
Stew-O: Great analysis, Jake! Congratulations to Vincent Mondrian!
(And with that, Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for Planet Fitness, featuring Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister reminding people not to set off the Lunk Alarm.)
(As Dynasty came back on air, “Rise and Fall” by starset hit the speakers. Corey Hale made his way out, and he immediately made zero time walking down the ramp. You could see the energy of excitement and passion coursing through his face. Being out here just had him living entirely and only in the moment.)
Stew-O: Corey Hale has been making wave lengths around the land of Elite, as he has been one of the better and promising New Breeds charging forward!
Flannery McCoy: He has only been around for a cup of coffee, but he has made that drink worthwhile. You can see intensity and passion, but you can see confidence as well. He knows that despite being new, he earned his spot. And he is here where he is supposed to be.
Jake Mercer: Let’s see what he has to say with the live microphone, and let’s see how much this confidence truly omits to the ring.
(Corey entered the ring, as his theme song died down and he paced around. He would soon speak.)
Corey Hale: I know that I have only been around for the last few weeks, but take nothing for granted. I truly am happy to be here, and I have been taking every match as it comes. My personal value is that; I am given only a limited platform even though I am blessed to be here. But the only person setting those limitations, is Corey Hale himself. I have to start raising the bar higher for myself. I haven’t even been here for a month in EAW, and likewise, I still have a lot to learn. But the name comes varied. “New Breed”. I find a lot of amazing things to follow about that word. Everyone in EAW has some sort of infancy point.
(Corey Hale walked around the ring, as he begun nailing it home..)
Corey Hale: Every top talent in EAW at some point or another ends up having that infancy. They end up going through these trials and tribulations, and everyone in the land of Elite experiences growing pains. I have already found myself seeing some to start it all off, but you know what? At the end of the day, the only thing that really hurts you is the long game. I want a go to try and become New Breed Champion, I want to become a champion, and look. I look at the current state of the New Breed division, and for so much of it; BRAE has truly made his way through all foes, taking on and not being afraid to knock down any of them. He has elevated that division, but he has also elevated himself in a high way. He has elevated his platform, and he has truly made himself an individual to look out for. But you see; I see an opportunity. There are various situations for me to get myself in, and when I see the light guiding the way of the Imperial Symphony, I see an idea for my taking. BRAE has been more than a worthwhile champion, he has been consistent and he has been a representative of greatness. But I know that BRAE’s focus is deterred, he may be always looking to get a win.. but I know the sacrifices that he will make. And whilst I may not be entering Road To Redemption as champion, I know that I can reach the top and hold gold of my own.
(Corey paced around the ring, as the crowd became calm.)
Corey Hale: And also–
(“Duel Of The Fates” by Samuel Kim hit. And that look from Corey Hale told all, gazing down the ramp as the New Breed Champion made his presence known!)
Stew-O: Uh Oh! The New Breed Champion is here!
Flannery McCoy: Corey Hale had a lot to say about him, but more so the New Breed Championship. We know what BRAE’s focus is always on. That title. And when you pose as a threat…
Jake Mercer: BRAE will immediately step out for the challenge.
(BRAE made his way to the ring, as he entered. His theme music came to a stop, as he just took a moment to look at Corey.)
BRAE: Corey… You are a smart man, and I admire that you can be a smarter man, but you have to be more smart here. You know, I’ll say this. If smarts are not what you have, then you sure as hell are one of the most brave men I’ve seen inside this squared circle. Wanting this match as fast as you would, challenging for the New Breed Championship is a big step. So let me go ahead and say this; life is great for you on the lower deck. But my friend, the lower deck is where you are closest to the water. When that boat rocks, you’re gonna be flooded. So allow me to go ahead and shut you down real quickly, optimism turns into pessimism. You are a challenger, I take on any challenger. But I am quickly gonna burst your light, so I’m sorry. But many men try to stand up to the challenge, they sound like the most confident in the world when making the challenge. They even think they can get in here.
(BRAE pointed to his temple, as he just sighed.)
BRAE: Many can step up to the challenge, but seriously, Corey. What makes you think you are any different?
Corey Hale: I can list off a plethora of reasons, but I think the main one is I know that you have been unbeatable this season..But I stay tune to your words, BRAE. You have said that your timer is slowly ticking down, and the days aren’t getting any further apart. How truly beaten up are you now? You have to be holding on by some sort of thread. You haven’t faced anyone like me yet, and I don’t want to sound cliche, BRAE. But I have to tell you, as much as you want to sit here and see not much of a threat, my inexperience can penultimately play into my favor the most. By fortune and virtue, you don’t really know what you are getting yourself into, BRAE. You might be barking up a tree you have never even sniffed before.
(BRAE nodded, and he was like okay.. not bad. But he quickly chimed in.)
BRAE: Now, let’s flip all that back over and question it here. You have never faced anyone like me, yet. And you have never faced a champion like myself. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders aware of most, but you don’t know firsthand how lord is willing to do everything they can to protect what is theres.
(Corey Hale laughed, as he quickly lowered his microphone.)
Corey Hale: (Off Mic) We shall see, won’t we?
(BRAE nodded, as his smirk boiled.)
Stew-O: Seems as if mutual respect is apparent, but competition is evident.
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is ready, but there’s an argument to be, Corey Hale is just as ready.
Jake Mercer: Which tree is the wrong person barking up against? The jury is still out!
(With that stated, Dynasty would fade elsewhere.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Betty (Get Money)!’ by Yung Gravy plays as Clayton Golde strides out with a smug look on his face, emerging through the golden smoke. Standing at his side is his paid actress for the week, whom he gives a kiss. Clayton then blows her off, heading down to the ring while berating the booing crowd.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, currently residing in An Undisclosed Location in Romania, weighing in at 210 pounds, “THE GOSPEL” CLAYTON GOLDE!!!!
Stew-O: Last week, Clayton Golde ended up coming short against Nejari Young and Corey Hale in tag team action after his partner TNT got pinned. Tonight, Golde is back to competing on his own.
Jake Mercer: It wasn’t Golde’s fault at all! He tried his best to hold the team together, but TNT didn’t follow his lead. Clayton Golde was just competing for the New Breed Championship at House Of Glass, so let’s not act like he isn’t capable of picking up wins.
Flannery McCoy: Tonight will certainly be one of his toughest challenges recently, though! We’ll see how Clayton Golde fares against Saori Aizen!
(The lights strobe black and white as ‘Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas begins playing and the mysterious Saori Aizen emerges from the back with a relaxed look on her face. Saori hops up the apron and climbs the top rope, looking around. She drops off the top, backing away.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 120 pounds, SAORI! AIZEN!
Jake Mercer: Saori Aizen had a great showing against Daniella Atlas, but it wasn’t enough to become the EAW Specialists Champion. Tonight she bounces back against another Elitist who failed their championship pursuit.
Stew-O: Saori Aizen is still the woman who won this year’s Divide And Conquer. She can get the job done when it counts. However, this is a must-win situation for her!
Flannery McCoy: She can handle that pressure, we’ve seen her do it before. Tonight is simply all about who wants to bounce back more between these two.
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: Clayton Golde shuffles around the ring, throwing a couple of punches at the air to test the distance. Saori circles around, but she’s unphased by Clayton’s games. He swings a jab, but she ducks under and grabs him in a waistlock! Saori shoves Clayton to the ropes and runs forward, sliding out of the ring, but she grabs Clayton’s ankle and trips him onto his face on the way down!
Jake Mercer: Golde holds his jaw in pain, stumbling up. Saori is up on the apron and she springboards up! Clayton looks up– AND HE GETS BLASTED BY A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! Saori kips up and she’s already feeling the energy. Clayton works his way up and she flies into a corner forearm smash! Saori takes Clayton’s wrist for an irish whip, but Clayton counters it and sends her across the ring! Golde runs across, but Saori raises her boot, sending him back!
Flannery McCoy: That staggers Clayton, and Saori charges in, only for Clayton to scoop her up onto his shoulders! He rotates out into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Saori pounces off of Clayton’s knee, holding her back in agony. Clayton lifts her up right after, for an inverted atomic drop! He pushes her back, and floors her with a superkick!
Stew-O: Gotta give credit where credit’s due, that was a nasty superkick. Clayton flexes, proud of himself after laying Aizen out like that. I don’t understand why he’s not going for the cover, though! He turns back to Aizen and pulls her up. He takes her by the head and lifts her vertically, stalling her in the air… Saori’s legs desperately flail, until Clayton drops back into a BIG TIME VERTICAL SUPLEX! Saori rolls over, holding at her back!
Jake Mercer: Golde rises to his feet, pulling Saori up. He blasts her with a nasty knife edge chop! Golde takes the wrist and leans her against the turnbuckles. He sends her barrelling across the ring with a powerful hammer whip! Saori holds her back in agony, and Golde follows up with a flying corner splash– NO! SAORI MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND GOLDE’S JAW EATS THE TURNBUCKLE!
Flannery McCoy: She grabs him in an inverted facelock, wasting no time! Golde tries to hold onto the ropes, but Saori twists into a SNAP FINAL CUT! ELBOW MEETS THE CHEST! SHE PULLS GOLDE TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEGS!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Kick out from Golde! Saori kneels up, shrugging. She rises and Golde rolls over, coughing out. She sees Golde rising and calls him up. She throws a swift kick to the calf, and then a chest kick! Golde wobbles, and she meets him with a ROLLING BACKFIST! Golde is on spaghetti legs now, and she spins into a roundhouse kick, only for Golde to raise his arms in time to block it!
Jake Mercer: The block forces Saori back a bit, she rubs her shin and Golde charges in, only to be swept to a seat with Saori’s good leg! Golde looks up- and Saori slides down into a CAPOEIRA KICK! That puts Golde down and now Saori rolls over his body, looking to the ropes. She begins to climb up, but Golde realizes where he’s at!
Flannery McCoy: He rises to his feet, holding at his jaw as he charges over and shoves Saori off the top! Saori lands onto the apron, and Clayton tries to knock her off, only to be sent backwards with a forearm smash. She tries to springboard up, but Clayton catches her off of the ropes and spins into a SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Straight to the cover!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: But Saori Aizen jolts a shoulder up! Clayton Golde is going to have to dig deeper if he really wants to win this one. And look at the expression on his face, he certainly wants this one over with! Clayton rises up to his feet, dragging Saori up.
Stew-O: Clayton grabs her from behind, trying a Regalplex, but Saori halts it! He tries again, but she elbows him off over and over! Clayton releases it and Saori tries to hit off, but Clayton pulls her back into a SLEEPER HOLD! Clayton’s got a tight grip wrapped around Saori’s neck! She reaches out, struggling for air!
Flannery McCoy: He’s really prying on that hold! Saori is losing air quickly right now! Clayton keeps pulling on that sleeper hold, and you can see Saori Aizen starting to falter… Clayton is yelling, demanding that the referee check if she’s still awake!
Stew-O: The referee takes Saori’s arm and raises it up … and Saori raises her arm UP! Clayton shakes his head! He tries to tighten his grip, but his arms may be getting tired! She wraps her hands around the back of his head and catapults herself up in the air, DROPPING INTO A JAWBREAKER!
Jake Mercer: Clayton releases, falling back! He holds at his jaw in agony! Saori rolls over, coughing out. She’s trying to get that air back in her lungs, and Golde limps up in the corner. Saori rises, leaping into a knee in the corner! She turns Clayton around and lifts him up onto the turnbuckle, his back facing her.
Flannery McCoy: She takes him by the hair and yanks him downwards– the back of his head hits the turnbuckle! And now Clayton is trapped in a tree of woe! He gasps out, trying to get free! Saori takes the top rope and starts leaping into furious stomps to the jaw while Clayton is trapped in tree of woe position! He waves his arms desperately, unable to get free! Saori is stomping the hell out of Clayton’s jaw!
Jake Mercer: Saori turns and runs across the ring! She points to the groggy Clayton, and CHARGES INTO A DROPKICK TO GOLDE WHILE HE’S IN TREE OF WOE— NO! GOLDE LIFTS HIS BODY, AND SAORI SLIDES INTO THE RING POST! Her eyes widen in pain, and she rolls away, holding at her inner thigh. She reaches down for her knee as well, the whiplash likely caused a collision of her knee with the steel!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Clayton is adjusting himself on the top rope! He turns to face her, and takes d eep breath. Golde jumps off the top rope with a BEAUTIFUL 450 LEGDROP! His leg crashes into the chest of Aizen! He could end right there, but he takes her by the hair and pulls her right back up! HE SCOOOPS HER UP BY THE ARM AND TOSSES HER WITH ‘THE 304!’ THE HIP TOSS INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! SAORI IS OUT OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Golde falls back! Both moves absolutely took a lout of him right there! He crawls over, taking Saori by the wrist and he quickly drags her to the center of the ring. Clayton drops down, hooking the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: BUT SAORI KICKS OUT! Golde slaps the mat, and frustration is building up! The longer this match, it clearly benefits Saori more because Golde doesn’t want to keep going! He rises to his feet, getting in the referee’s face.
Jake Mercer: Don’t sleep on Clayton Golde like that! He’s a very talented competitor! I think he’s not entirely in the wrong, the referee IS moving a little slow! Clayton drags Saori up by the hair, looking around. He takes her neck and slowly twists around!
Flannery McCoy: CLAYTON WANTS “C’EST LA VIE!” BUT SAORI SNAPS HER HEAD FREE OF CLAYTON’S GRASP! SHE TAKES THE ARMS AND PULLS HIM DOWN FOR A BACKSLIDE PINFALL!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM CLAYTON! Both rise and Clayton swings a clothesline! Saori ducks under and catches his arm! SHE TOSSES HIM UP WITH A HALF NELSON KNEE STRIKE! THE BACK OF CLAYTON’S HEAD LANDS ON HER KNEE! Saori wastes no time, dragging him up right after!
Jake Mercer: She lifts Clayton vertically, RUNNING INTO A BRAINBUSTER! ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! SAORI CRAWLS OVER, MAKING YET ANOTHER COVER! THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE END RIGHT HERE!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER KICK OUT FROM CLAYTON! Saori rises, pulling him up by the head. She leans his head down, double underhooking the arms to try for a double underhook backbreaker! But Clayton stalls the lift! Saori desperately tries again, but Clayton shoves her into the turnbuckles!
Jake Mercer: She wobbles out, and Clayton hits off the ropes quickly! The knee lift bounces her off, and Clayton scoops her up by the legs and turns around, dropping back into a STUN GUN! Saori falls down, coughing out in agony. Clayton steps out of the ring and walks over to the top rope. He slowly pulls himself up.
Stew-O: Saori rolls over, pulling herself up. She hunches over, groaning… and CLAYTON FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A DIVING BULLDOG! SAORI GETS PLANTED INTO THE CANVAS! Clayton rolls her over for a cover– but Saori rolls out of the ring and falls to the outside!
Jake Mercer: Clayton slaps the mat! The frustration is certainly building for him right now! He rolls out of the ring, wobbling over to Saori. He hunches over, trying to pull herself up, but she’s deadweight in his arms. Clayton is struggling, doing his best to get her up. He turns to the ring, and slowly rolls Saori in.
Flannery McCoy: Golde slides in behind Saori, dragging her up– Saori captures his wrist and rolls him over to his knees! She rises up to her feet! ‘MIRROR FLOWER, WATER MOON!’ THE WRIST CLUTCH KNEE STRIKE LAYS GOLDE OUT! AND SHE FLOPS ONTO HIM FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: NOT ENOUGH! GOLDE JOLTS A SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! But Aizen isn’t finished! He steps over him and uses the middle rope to leap to the top rope! She adjusts herself up top, and looks back…
Jake Mercer: Saori rises with no fear! ‘HORIZON OF THE CAPTIVAT–’ GOLDE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! SAORI BARELY LANDS THROUGH, FALLING BACKWARDS! She tries to get up, but Golde is waiting for her!
Flannery McCoy: ‘DEMONITIZED!’ THE STANDING DISCUS ELBOW HITS SAO– NO! SHE DUCKS UNDER AND CAPTURES THE ARM! NOW BOTH ARE FIGHTING FOR CONTROL! SAORI IS TRYING TO DRAG GOLDE DOWN, BUT HE REFUSES TO GO DOWN! SAORI KEEPS ELBOWING AT HIS ARM, THOUGH!
Stew-O: And she rolls through, getting Golde down to the canvas! The omoplata is locked in on the arm, and she reaches for the jaw! ‘COFFIN OF THE IRON MOUNTAIN!’ SHE FINALLY GETS THE HOLD IN! GOLDE YELLS OUT IN AGONY! HE’S TRYING HIS HARDEST TO CLAW AT THOSE FINGERS AND GET FREE!
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: It’s not looking good for The Clout Shark! Saori is pulling furiously on his jaw! He’s going to have to eat out of a straw for a couple of weeks if he doesn’t just give up here– THERE IT IS! CLAYTON GOLDE TAPS OUT!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, SSSAOORRRIII AAIIIZZZEEENNNN!!!
(‘Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas hits the speakers as Saori releases the hold, ecstatic to pick up the victory. Golde rolls away, ashamed that he tapped out. The referee helps Saori up and takes her arm, raising it up high.)
Stew-O: Following her loss at House Of Glass, Saori Aizen gets back on track with a win tonight! Her strong submission expertise came into play at the very end of the match, as Clayton Golde had no choice but to tap out!
Flannery McCoy: There’s no shame in tapping out to someone as talented as Saori Aizen! Obviously, Clayton golde will probably try and pretend this didn’t happen– but we saw it ourselves tonight!
Jake Mercer: I’ll give Saori her props, but this is just a minor setback for Clayton Golde! I’m sure he’ll be back next week, but what a match! I wonder what’s next for Saori Aizen…
(Backstage, the party continues in Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant’s office. Champagne is flowing, caterers come in to restock the hot food, and everyone is having a good time. Laughter, toasts, and patriotic music fill the space as everyone is riding high. Of course, the crowd in the arena reacts with loud, collective boos that echo throughout the celebration. Kensingten and Richard continue to smile widely as they clank glasses with each other.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: What a wonderful night this has been, Richie!
Richard Grant: It certainly has been, Kensi…
(They then take note of the camera and smirk.)
Richard Grant: Even with us being in a dump like Quebec, Canada.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, if only we had it our way. Dynasty would be live ONLY in the great country that is the United States of America. Not to mention that we would be exclusive to all of the wonderful states that had citizens with common sense and knew better than to let that little treacherous, unpatriotic mess Kamala Harris win. :blessed: She can worry about changing Joe’s diapers for the last two months they have, because come January, all will be right in the world once more.
Richard Grant: I certainly can’t wait. Good riddance! Just like how I can’t wait to leave this city. If you wanna speak French, then move to France! All these stupid, fancy languages make my head hurt.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I know, right? However, we will be leaving this awful place behind us. Tonight, we get to celebrate and be happy… but, I suppose we should go ahead and tackle some business first while we’re here.
(Kensingten takes a sip of champagne and grins before giving the camera her full attention.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Now, with Road to Redemption and Super Dynasty coming up, we know that plenty of Elitists here are trying to call their shots and whatnot, so you know what? Richie and I decided to let them have the ball in their court. Now, Daniella Atlas and Mia Santoro seem to be having their little rivalry brewing, so I think we can go ahead and make things official between them for Super Dynasty. So, the Specialists Championship will be on the line as Daniella defends against Mia. However, we aren’t done when it comes to the titles, are we, Richie?
Richard Grant: We sure aren’t, Kensi. Holly Arrow wants to become champion, willing to earn her way into the Universal Women’s Championship chamber that has become a bit of an open secret now. So, the cat’s officially out of the bag: there will be a chamber for that championship at Road to Redemption, and Holly Arrow will get her chance to qualify against a woman who is equally as hungry in Saori Aizen.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Mhm. That should get everyone excited—
(However, Kensingten is cut off by the sound of the office door. The fans in attendance cheer as Chris Elite is seen entering. He looks around the office, completely unamused by the decor of the party.)
Chris Elite: Seriously? What’s up with this, man?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: What do you mean? We’re only celebrating a historical, momentous win for the United States!
Chris Elite: I mean, cool, I guess, but we aren’t even in the states now.
Richard Grant: Well, it sure beats being in a place like this! If we can’t be in America, we’re bringing America straight to us!
Chris Elite: Y’all really doing tricks on it for the orange man? That’s crazy.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I’m not entirely sure what that means, but if you’re getting at that we’re showing immense patriotic pride in our President, then yes, we certainly are!
(Chris raises a brow, realizing that his insults weren’t working. However, a light bulb goes off in his head.)
Chris Elite: Okay, okay. You guys are clearly in good spirits and all of that. So, how about y’all be extra generous with me? I wanna leave my mark, and last week was an off night against a very game Minerva, but I wanna be able to bounce back and prove myself. I know everyone’s talking about that world heavyweight championship chamber, and so, I want in on it.
(Kensingten and Richard look at him briefly before looking at each other.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: 👀
Richard Grant: 👀
Chris Elite: ….
Chris Elite: You know, if y’all are gonna dick eat, y’all can just—
(However, everyone’s attention turns towards Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister, who also take note of the gaudy decor. Neither are all too thrilled.)
Raven Roberts: Wow, talk about overkill. And here I thought our neighbors putting up all those flags in their lawns was a sight for sore eyes.
Rex McAllister: Guess we shouldn’t be too surprised.
(Kensingten and Richard grin.)
Richard Grant: Well, there we go! A brilliant idea by Chris Elite, and look at what the cat dragged in! It’s like everything is falling into place for us!
(Raven and Rex both look slightly confused.)
Raven Roberts: I’m sorry?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Raven, Rex, is lovely having you both here. Oh, care to have some hors d’oeuvre? All American-themed! We’ve got mini hot dogs, sliders, deviled eggs, and some of the best barbecue this side of the border! 🤠
(Rex and Raven exchange a glance, visibly unimpressed.)
Raven Roberts: I think we’ll pass, thanks.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Suit yourselves! But don’t let it stop you from enjoying the festivities. This party isn’t just a celebration but a reminder that Dynasty is all about winners, champions, and the American way!
Richard Grant: And next week, we’re putting that to the test. Chris Elite versus Rex McAllister, in the main event of Super Dynasty, and just to make it extra sweet? It’ll be a qualifying match for the World Heavyweight Champion chamber. Doesn’t get any better than that, right?
(Rex’s eyes widen slightly.)
Rex McAllister: Really? Wow. I’m flattered by the opportunity, truly, but Raven and I—
Chris Elite: Bet.
(Rex turns his head towards Chris, who looked focused by that.)
Chris Elite: After all, the last time I was world champion, he was the one who beat me to end my reign. I see no better way of making my way back to the top then by beating him.
Richard Grant: :adpeek:
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Ah, talk about a full circle moment. I love when things naturally piece themselves together like this. 😌
(Rex glances back over to Raven. She shrugs her shoulders, but nods.)
Raven Roberts: It’s not what we came for, but at least you have the chance to become champion sooner than me.
(Rex then looks back at Chris, who raises a brow at him.)
Chris Elite: Well? Hell you standing there for like you’re waiting for someone to give you permission or something. We gonna do this at Super Dynasty, or what?
Rex McAllister: Sure. It’s a done deal.
(The fans in attendance cheer.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Excellent! I think our super show is shaping up to be a fantastic one! So many huge matches, including our main event. I’m sure you two will knock it out of the park!
Chris Elite: Oh, a home run is gonna get hit. Trust.
(Chris gives a brief nod towards Rex before he leaves the office. Kensingten and Richard exchange pleased looks, clinking glasses once more.)
Richard Grant: Now that’s something we can cheers too.
(The scene fades as Raven and Rex turn to leave, both still clearly unenthused by the decor but focused on the high-stakes match ahead, while Kensingten and Richard continue to bask in their perceived success, raising their glasses to the night.)
(Dynasty is taken to the backstage area as we are immediately met with an eruption into chaos. The camera shows Jay Jerry Johnson and Kirk Redwood in the same present area. Tensions were increasing at an all time high, as Kirk Redwood was the first one who spoke.)
Kirk Redwood: You know, I think it’s funny. You were gone for how long, Triple J? The entirety of 2024. And now you make your luxurious return, and everyone is seeing you coming out of your hole after all this time. But do you really think that you are entitled, Jay? Do you really think that you should be given some kind of grant for coming back? Look, when it comes to Super Dynasty, I went ahead and accepted the match. Because I want to get my point across well enough, I gotta get back on the agenda I had before. The Interwire Championship has been my focus for the entirety of this season now, with none of it drawn away. But Triple J, you are a primary focus of my initiative. It doesn’t matter what you have managed to pull off in the first place, man. I have something to prove from beating you in the ring. And It’s gonna prove a furthermore point; you’re not gonna simply walk back in and think that everything is fine, and that you are owed all the time you have missed. You chose to go out when you did, you chose to wipe your presence off the map. You chose to do this, Jay.
(Kirk Redwood begun with a fiery venomous statement to Jay Jerry Johnson, who mostly just nodded his head. He didn’t really have a lot to say, but he was feeding in all the information. He just chuckled as he let Kirk Redwood finish.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I find it funny that you are this bitter, upon me making my return to RAW. But I get it, Kirk. I really do employ that deep down, you have immense insecurities and not that many people probably care or even pay attention to you, as much as you really wish it was all about you. I know that I need to work hard to get back to where I was — It was only a little over a year ago I was holding that same championship you are so desperate to get after. But that is the funny thing, in that year; I was out away for about 9ish months. In that time, you had a shot to accomplish everything that you could have ever imagined. You are still around, and you never even left; Kirk. So why are you not up to standard? Why do you feel so much down a peg? You had all this time to finally become something, yet you still stand here as nothing. You can’t be so bitter about the headstart you had, because clearly it seems as if you couldn’t get anywhere even with it.
Kirk Redwood: Jay, are you trying to be funny? You really think that you’ve gotten underneath my skin, don’t you now, man? I find your comedy hilarious. I have picked up major wins, wins on events you were not even apart of, man.
Jay Jerry Johnson: And while I see that you are trying to stand your ground, good job for growing a spine, Kirk. But you had all this time to establish yourself as a star. How come you haven’t, yet? You had many chances, and it’s not like you haven’t been a champion before, remember Solomon Stane? You have done a lot Kirk, I remember when I was in your spot. But I have surprassed you, and you are still holding onto some tired thoughts. Maybe one day Lady Luck is gonna look back at you, and she’s gonna smile. But Super Dynasty definitely isn’t gonna be where that comes into fruition, man. I am gonna course right through you, and when I defeat you. The question is gonna really set in your brain – You are gonna ask yourself questions. But in the time I have been gone, I have only gotten better. You have stood on this same platform for ages now, Kirk.
Kirk Redwood: See that’s the problem, you say that I am not up to standard, but you clearly haven’t been paying attention while you have been out these last few months. I have been the hardest possible hitter that I can be, I have given 110%. And look, I can confess that I have not been the best version of myself when need be. But I am fine with accepting that, and when I need to elevate my game, I elevate it. You clearly haven’t paid attention, Jay. You wanna go ahead and say that you have surpassed me. You wanna go ahead and say that you have pound for pound put me in the gutter, then you have not paid a single attention. I have won in warfare against Hall Of Famers, Jay. My big break is only coming, and you wanna discredit me, then at Super Dynasty the law is gonna have to be laid down on you. I am gonna defend myself, you spew nothing but bullshit, man. You are getting ahead of yourself. So please, take the time to humble yourself, my friend.
(Kirk clapped as Jay listened, he took it all in, as he just shrugged.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I hope that in bringing this venom out of you, you truly realize what you lack. But that’s the problem, you don’t recognize until it’s already too late. Enjoy this sprint, Kirk. Because at Super Dynasty the only mark you’ll have, is when you have to rewrite again on the drawing board. I am too busy hitting the bullseye. Take that into deep contemplation, man.
(Jay Jerry Johnson trotted off, as he quickly side glanced Kirk Redwood. The tension at an absolute maximum, but swiftly cut off.)
Kirk Redwood: He is gonna figure something out soon.
(With that statement proclaimed, Kirk Redwood would just shrug, not trying to live in the moment, as he made his way out for his match.)
(Back at ringside, Stephie Love is seen.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival is playing as Kirk Redwood is already standing in the ring, pacing back and forth as he awaits his opponent to come down.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, already in the ring, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds… he is “UNKILLABLE” KIRK! REDWOOD!
Stew-O: Last week, Kirk Redwood wanted to focus on working his way back to an Interwire Championship match, but it was to everyone’s surprise that Jay Jerry Johnson made his return and confronted Kirk Redwood!
Jake Mercer: He laid down the challenge for a match at Super Dynasty and it has been accepted– not to mention what they’ve already gotten into just moments ago.
Flannery McCoy: I’m sure Kirk has a lot on his mind, and I would hope he doesn’t allow Jay Jerry Johnson’s words to get in his head ahead of his match.
(‘Catch Me If You Can’ by runblebee drowns out the sound of Kirk’s theme song as Akari Kiyoko marches out to boos from the crowd. Following behind him is Damien Kutcher with a bible in hand, lecturing the booing fans. Akari is zoned in on the ring and slides in, getting in Kirk’s face. The referee has to back him up.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, accompanied by Damien Kutcher, from Aomori, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds… “THE FLAW OF THE WORLD” AKARI! KIYOKO!
Jake Mercer: Representing Voltage, Akari Kiyoko is looking to continue making a name for himself here in EAW! A victory against someone like Kirk Redwood would do wonders for his career!
Stew-O: Akari has aligned himself with Damien Kutcher and started finding some more success, including a victory at Wicked Games.
Flannery McCoy: He’s walking into a whole new territory and entering the unknown isn’t always easy for everyone! We’re about to see what Akari Kiyoko is made of.
(DING DING DING!)
Jake Mercer: And here we go– OH! KIRK COMES IN QUICKLY, TACKLING AKARI IN THE CORNER! KIRK BEATS DOWN ON AKARI, WHO COVERS UP TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY! Huge elbows are getting through Akari’s guard, getting to his forehead! Akari falls to a seated position and the referee has to intervene, trying to hold him back!
Stew-O: Akari tries his best to stand up– but Kirk pushes past with a corner lariat! Akari falls out of the corner and Kirk hits off the ropes quickly, jumping into a knee strike to the jaw! He snatches ahold of his wrist and pulls him closer, throwing him across the ring with an exploder suplex! Akari holds at his back, rolling away.
Flannery McCoy: Kirk rises to his feet, slapping his face! Welcome to Dynasty, Akari! He takes the ropes and tries to drag himself up, but Kirk charges in with a corner shoulder thrust! Akari’s eyes bulge out of his head, and Kirk follows up with repeated shoulder thrusts against the turnbuckle! Akari is getting battered, and Kirk pulls him out.
Jake Mercer: He scoops him up onto his shoulder– but Akari elbows the side of his head! He elbows him again! Akari slips free and shoves Kirk off. He dropkicks the knee out! Kirk struggles, trying to rise… but Akari kicks him in the chest with a roundhouse kick! He throws another one, but it only seems to piss Kirk off!
Stew-O: Akari winds back one more, but Kirk catches his leg and twists with a dragonscrew legwhip! Damien Kutcher’s eyes are widened at this display right now! Akari limps up, and Kirk rushes in with a nasty elbow to the jaw! Kirk turns Akari around and hooks the waist, THROWING HIM OVERHEAD WITH A SAITO SUPLEX! He could have paralyzed the kid right there!
Jake Mercer: And given the smile on Kirk Redwood’s face, that certainly wouldn’t be a problem for him right now. Akari Kiyoko stepped up to him before the bell rang and now he’s paying for it! Kirk mounts Akari and starts beating the piss out of him with ground and pound! He rolls Akari over and starts delivering knees to the ribs! Akari tries to block it but it’s no use!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk pulls Akari up and stares at Kutcher outside the ring. He throws him out in front of Kucher– no! Akari barely slips free, tripping Kirk into the middle rope! Kirk’s throat bounces off the middle rope! Akari rolls away, shouting at the referee. I think he’s injured…?!
Akari Kiyoko: (off-mic) Ref—reff… I think I may have hurt my neck.
Stew-O: After that saito suplex, I can definitely see where Akari may have hurt himself– OH COME ON! DAMIEN KUTCHER TAKING ADVANTAGE OUTSIDE THE RING, HE HITS KIRK WITH HIS BIBLE! HOW IS THAT IN THE NAME OF GOD?!
Jake Mercer: Clearly, Akari Kiyko getting the win tonight is in God’s vision! Akari shakes off his neck injury and rises to his feet, telling the referee he’s fine. He drags Kirk up and hooks the head and leg, lifting him up for a FISHERMAN’S BUSTER! KIYOKO TO THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM KIRK REDWOOD! He rolls over, holding his head! Akari kneels him up and starts punching the hell out of his forehead! Akari backs up, winding up into a HEAVY RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW! Kirk goes flat onto his stomach after that punch! Akari shakes out his hand, there was a lot of vitriol in that punch!
Jake Mercer: He drags Kirk up once again, leaning the head down and he double underhooks the arms. He looks around, calling for a double underhook DDT– but somehow Kirk spins out of it! He hooks the waist, NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Kirk doesn’t even go down with it, though! He’s fired up!
Stew-O: Akari wobbles up, and Kirk hits off the ropes quickly! ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP!’ THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD PUTS AKARI OUT OF IT! KIRK LOOKS DOWN AT HIM, CONTEMPLATING A COVER! But he doesn’t want to end this just yet?! He just hit a big move, and a pinfall isn’t on his mind right now!
Flannery McCoy: He reaches down and forces Akari up! He hooks the wrist of Akari and turns him around, hoisting him up high… ‘BASTARDPLEX!’ THE WRIST CLUTCH BACK SUPLEX FLOORS AKARI! And now Damien Kutcher is on the apron, yelling for the referee to do something about this blasphemy–
Jake Mercer: TALK ABOUT BLASPHEMOUS! KIRK REDWOOD BOOTS KUTCHER OFF THE APRON! Kutcher falls back, holding his jaw. And Redwood turns back to Akari, pulling him up to his feet…
Stew-O: He flips him upside down, running forward– ‘DOWN TO HELL!’ THE LEAPING TOMBSTONE PUTS AKARI OUT OF IT! He drops him onto his back and hooks the legs, for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, KIIRRKKK REDDWOOODDDDD!!
(As ‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins playing, Kirk rises to his feet, gritting his teeth. The referee takes his arm, raising it up high. Akari is laid out and Kirk moves away from the referee, climbing the middle rope and he points to the camera.)
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson was absolutely watching that, and Kirk Redwood just sent one hell of a message to him! If this is the intensity Kirk is bringing to his matches, Jay may not have the return that he wants!
Stew-O: Akari Kiyoko was looking to make a statement as a Voltage Elitist coming down to Dynasty, but it never came to fruition in the way that he wanted! What a showing for Kirk Redwood, more than anything!
Flannery McCoy: You can never sleep on Kirk Redwood! Tonight, he was firing off at all cylinders and it was an absolutely brutal showing from him.
(The Friday Night Dynasty video feed shifts backstage, where Kensingten and Richard’s celebratory party continues in high spirits, as enthusiastically as it was at the beginning. The participants were all wearing red MAGA caps and other assorted pro-Trump merchandise. Smiles were present throughout the party area as they stuffed their faces with various delicacies and laughed among each other as they spoke optimistically about the next four years.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I just cannot get this smile off my face! Oh Richard, this has been one of the happiest weeks of my life!
Richard Grant: Hear hear! After four years of our once-great nation being tyrannized by the woke mob, the TRUE American people have fought back and took our country back! Now it’s time for… well, you know!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Of course! It’s time for America to be great AGAIN!
Richard Grant: With Trump’s election, there’s no doubt in my mind that the economy is going to be better than it has ever been before! We’ve got Reagan incarnate in the oval office, how can it not be?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Don’t forget the jobs! As soon as the illegals are taken away, the real Americans will get back all of the tough jobs that were stolen from them! And our taxes will stop going to those lazy illegals that never liked to work!
Drake Armstrong: Don’t forget about the gas prices!
Kensingten and Richard: :krabs:
(Kensingten and Richard snapped out of their blissful trance as Drake Armstrong appeared beside them with his own celebratory food, enjoying the party with them as if he were there the entire time.)
Richard Grant: What are you doing here?
Drake Armstrong: Why, I am celebrating alongside you, of course!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Drake, you’re a fellow supporter of making America great again?
Drake Armstrong: Didn’t you know? The Armstrong Foundation PAC donated a hefty sum of money to the campaign!
Drake Armstrong (under his breath): We donated to other parties too, but that’s not important.
Richard Grant: Well, I say! Maybe we had the wrong impression of you, lad! We thought you were just one of those bi-coastal elites by your attitude, but…
Drake Armstrong: What’s good for the Armstrong Dynasty’s wealth is what is good for America as a whole! I’ve always been in favor of increasing the country’s wealth, that’s why our businesses are always growing! Now that he’s in charge, are you ready for the… ‘big government’ to relax with those tyrannical taxes?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh God, yes! I almost forgot about that, he’s going to drain the swamp again!
Richard Grant: Taking our hard-earned money just to give it to those lazy welfare hoarders… I hate it! But I know that Trump is going to put a stop to it all. MAGA!
Drake Armstrong: Precisely! More money in the pockets of red-blooded Americans every year! Not to mention that it’s time for inflation to be stopped! And I’m glad to see you understand my own monetary contribution to that. That’s hard-earned money, you know! Earned through some All-American capitalism, just like the founding fathers intended!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Of course! It’s time for people to finally respect the constitution and America’s culture! It’s definitely respectable for you to have made that donation.
Drake Armstrong: Speaking of culture, I think there is nothing quite as All-American as being a winner! America is the greatest country in the world, after all! Incidentally, did you notice how I got a victory over Myles last week? That was one of the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champions in history, and he got pinned by me, who has a lot less experience in the business.
Richard Grant: But didn’t you get help-
Drake Armstrong: If you think about it, it’s like the American revolution! The British Empire was much older, but America still overcame it all. Plus, Myles is Australian. He’s not like us true Americans, you know? I feel like last week was a victory for America as a whole.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Hm… you’re right! It really was, wasn’t it? Very impressive.
Drake Armstrong: I suppose the only shame is that he already lost the title, and to somebody so unruly and vulgar. The current champion is a real rulebreaker, you know! Doesn’t really have that American spirit.
Richard Grant: That’s true, he even ruined the main event of Territorial Invasion and prevented Dynasty from getting the win!
Drake Armstrong: Honestly, in the spirit of America, I feel as though some good old-fashioned American victory like what I did last week should be rewarded. And with a champion like that tainting the image of Dynasty, an idea comes to mind. Why should we waste our time with an Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match when you could just reward my All-American victory with a spot in the chamber?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: A spot, just like that?
Drake Armstrong: That’s right! I don’t think you can be more pro-America than that!
Richard Grant: :thinking:
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: :thinking:
(…)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: You know what? You’re right! I’m convinced.
Richard Grant: We’ll go ahead and make it official! Drake Armstrong will be a part of the Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Drake Armstrong: :blessed:
Drake Armstrong: With this decision, I think you both are really… Making Dynasty Great Again! I truly do appreciate it. In any case, I should go get ready for my main event match. Enjoy the celebration!
(Drake Armstrong walked off, briefly rolling his eyes with a smirk as he walked away from the party. Kensingten and Richard’s moods seem to have gotten even better as they continued partaking in the celebration. The video feed faded to black.)
(A commercial plays for Xfinity, featuring Milli Banks bulldozing the Verizon headquarters.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ – AFI began playing to massive cheers as the EAW Interwire Champion, Hans Grayson, made his way out onto the stage with a wide grin on his face! He unstrapped the Interwire Championship around his waist and raised it up into the air for all to behold, also to loud cheers! With the gold in hand, he made his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at 219 pounds… he is THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! ‘THE FIRE HEART’… HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS! GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: We’re in for a treat tonight! We definitely don’t get to see a match like this every week, but with Road to Redemption coming soon and both of these men in the same Extreme Elimination Chamber, we get a treat with a champion vs champion match!
Flannery McCoy: And what a bout it is! Here we have the EAW Interwire Champion, Hans Grayson, heading into the match first; he won the Interwire Championship for the first time earlier this year at Pain for Pride Kingdom, but he’s looking to become a double champion at the end of the year by taking the World Heavyweight Championship too!
Jake Mercer: YEAAAAAAAH! Graysonites rise up! We’re ready for double champ Hans! Take the title and become a legend overnight!
Stew-O: Hans has been on a tear ever since he won the title, so he definitely has a decent chance of taking the gold in December. But he’ll have a hard time of it, considering the current World Heavyweight Champion…
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti began blaring through the speakers to a massive ovation as the World Heavyweight Champion, Joso, confidently walked out onto the stage. He’s got the big gold belt wrapped around his waist, and he takes a moment to take it off and lift it up high on the stage with pyro going off behind him. With that, he drapes the gold over his shoulder and makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds… he is the EAW World Heavyweight Champion… THE STAR PLAYER, JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: Here comes the man that ended the legendary reign of Myles at House of Glass! Myles was one battle away from breaking several records after that seemingly unstoppable reign, but the King of Elite managed to take the win and end the reign after a hard-fought match!
Flannery McCoy: With that, he’s earned his first world championship! I’d say probably the first of multiple, given how much Joso has improved since he first started in EAW! Given that he just won it, he’s looking to hold on to it as tight as he can as he’ll be fighting to take the title into the New Year!
Jake Mercer: But will he be able to withstand the fire of the Fire Heart? He may lose it as quickly as he won it!
Stew-O: This preview match will give us a chance to see how they stack up against each other. It’s time to see a champion face a champion!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Both wrestlers lurch out of their corners with a quick pace as they begin circling the ring, their eyes locked on each other the entire time as they begin testing the waters and seeing who will be the first one to take the reins of control in this match!
Flannery McCoy: You can sense the focus in them as neither of them are willing to give up an inch. Joso just won his world championship, while Hans has the chance to prove himself to be on a world championship level in this match! Both wrestlers’ arms are up as they keep trying to goad the other into making a mistake…
Jake Mercer: But it’s Joso who is the first to make his move, lurching forward out of nowhere and snatching Hans up with a collar and elbow tie up! Hans tries to struggle against it in an attempt to push Joso back, but Joso uses Grayson’s attempted push against him by performing a standing switch and getting behind him with a waist lock!
Stew-O: OH! Joso is acting quite bold here as he immediately takes his arms away from the waist of the Interwire Champion and snaps them around his neck, implementing a sleeper hold from behind this early into the match!
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson is known for his cardio and energy! If Joso is able to keep this on for long enough, he could wear Hans down and take away his biggest asset from the start!
Jake Mercer: But Hans Grayson is able to sense that strategy and immediately puts all of his energy into struggling against the arms of the World Heavyweight Champion, flailing around as hard as he can in order to make it more difficult for Joso to keep the lock held in!
Stew-O: Joso begins struggling to keep it locked in, and that brief moment is enough for Hans to slip out of the chokehold and catch one of the Star Player’s arms as he does so!
Flannery McCoy: He throws the arm over his own shoulders as he locks himself to the side of Joso and throws his right leg back! Without a moment of hesitation, he kicks Joso’s own leg as he performs a side Russian leg sweep, bringing both wrestlers down to the canvas!
Jake Mercer: YESSIR HANS! Grayson immediately kips up before turning his back to Joso as he leaps up into the air as high up as he can go! With a backflip in mid-air, he comes plummeting down towards Joso with a standing moonsault, showing off his athleticism as he does so!
Stew-O: But Joso had it scouted as he rolls out of the way while Hans is coming down; the Interwire Champion lands on his midsection with a loud thud as he clutches at it in pain! Hans gets into a kneeling position as he clutches at his ribs, and Joso himself kips up as he looks to capitalize on the moment of the Fire Heart’s vulnerability!
Flannery McCoy: And so he does! The moment the World Heavyweight Champion is back on his feet, he lunges forward and kicks Hans Grayson across the chest with a penalty kick! That certainly hit hard as it causes the Fire Heart to fall over onto his back; Joso could go for a pin here if he wanted to!
Jake Mercer: But the Star Player chooses not to; naturally, the Interwire Champion wouldn’t go down that easily! He instead leaps up into the air, looking to come crashing down onto Hans Grayson with a standing double foot stomp!
Stew-O: But this time, it’s Hans Grayson’s turn to roll out of the way; Joso didn’t go quite as high-risk high-reward as Hans did with that moonsault, so he just stumbles a bit upon landing without a body underneath to stomp on!
Flannery McCoy: But Hans Grayson scrambles up from that grounded position and grabs a hold of one of Joso’s legs while the World Heavyweight Champion is still unstable! He has Joso hopping up and down on one foot while the other is in the grasp of the Fire Heart!
Jake Mercer: He doesn’t let Joso get his foot back, instead choosing to execute a perfect dragon screw leg whip to bring Joso down to the canvas!
Stew-O: But Hans isn’t done yet! He drops down to the canvas himself on his hands and knees and keeps Joso pushed against the ground in that prone position; with Joso locked in place, Hans begins unleashing some heavy knee smashes to the side of the World Heavyweight Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Everybody likes to associate Hans Grayson with high flying and risk-taking moves, but he’s shown many times as he’s showing here that he’s able to pack a heavy punch… or a heavy knee, in this case!
Jake Mercer: After brutalizing Joso with some of those strikes, Hans latches on a side headlock to the grounded opponent! He starts getting up with the headlock still applied, bringing Joso up with him without allowing the World Heavyweight Champion to move around of his own volition!
Stew-O: Hans looks back and sees their proximity to the corner of the ring! He uses the headlock to shove Joso back-first into the corner before taking a few steps back and taking aim at the World Heavyweight Champion! What does he have planned here?!
Flannery McCoy: He rushes forward and begins lighting up the Star Player with a rapid flurry of knife-edge chops! Each one of those chops ring out loud with the crowd counting along with Hans Grayson’s chops as they see how many Hans gets off!
Jake Mercer: The Fire Heart is definitely bringing his A-game here as he keeps the chops going! However, he seems to stop prematurely as he takes a few steps back, looking to switch it up before he gasses himself out!
Stew-O: With some distance between the two champions, Hans Grayson runs forward as he looks to crash into Joso’s head with a jumping high knee! But Joso is able to side-step it at the last moment, leading to Hans Grayson’s knee smashing into that top turnbuckle!
Flannery McCoy: Joso gets behind Hans as the Fire Heart staggers back, reeling in pain from that tactical evasion by the World Heavyweight Champion; the pain doesn’t stop for him, though, as Joso immediately takes advantage of their positioning!
Jake Mercer: Joso leaps up and drives both of his knees into the back of the Fire Heart! With Hans Grayson’s shoulders grabbed by the Star Player, Joso falls back and allows Grayson to fall back with him against the knees, a perfect backstabber by the World Heavyweight Champion!
Stew-O: That was a smart move by Joso, leading to Hans writhing on the canvas with his back arched! The new World Heavyweight Champion is firing on all cylinders tonight, folks! He’s here to lay down the law and make sure everybody knows that there is no champion above him!
Flannery McCoy: He reaches over and hooks both of Grayson’s legs off of that backstabber, looking to see if the Fire Heart has had enough!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW-
Jake Mercer: GRAYSON KICKS OUT! :blessed:
Stew-O: The Fire Heart still has fire left in him after all! Joso gives a slight smirk of acknowledgement at that before grabbing Hans and dragging him up to his feet! With a tight grip on the wrist of the Fire Heart, Joso executes an Irish whip, sending the Interwire Champion running forward towards the ropes!
Flannery McCoy: Joso stands ready as Hans rebounds off the ropes and starts running back towards him! As Hans is running on the rebound, Joso lurches forward and spins around the Interwire Champion, bringing him crashing down with a sudden sling blade!
Jake Mercer: In a fluid motion, though, Joso rolls through as he lands on the ground and scrambles his way up to his feet in almost a single movement! Even I have to admit, that was smooth! He runs towards the ropes himself this time, jumping towards the middle rope before landing on it with both feet!
Stew-O: With the middle ropes as a de facto launching pad, Joso springboards off and soars towards Hans Grayson behind him! He backflips in mid-air as his body hurtles towards the Interwire Champion with intense speed!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS GRAYSON WAS ABLE TO GET HIS KNEES UP! The springboard moonsault of the World Heavyweight Champion, as smooth as it may have been, was countered by the Fire Heart in classic fashion!
Jake Mercer: Joso recoils into a kneeling position, this time with him being the one clutching at his ribs in pain! With how much force he put into that springboard moonsault, you have to wonder just how badly that must have hurt upon getting completely reversed!
Stew-O: Hans Grayson rolls onto his gut and forcefully staggers himself up, noticing the pain that Joso is in; he sees a prime opportunity to take advantage, and he doesn’t want to let it go to waste!
Flannery McCoy: He rushes forward before Joso is able to get into a position to fight back; without hesitation, Hans wraps his arms around the gut of the World Heavyweight Champion and begins exerting force to lift him up!
Jake Mercer: WOW! LOOK AT THE POWER OF THE FIRE HEART HERE! He’s using a gut wrench hold to lift Joso off the ground like a deadlift! With Joso hanging in his arms, Hans flips him over and slams him down onto the canvas with a gutwrench slam!
Stew-O: He jumps over Joso’s body to the other side, leaving his back turned to the World Heavyweight Champion! He’s in perfect position here as he once again takes to the air, leaping as high as he can and backflipping in mid air before he comes crashing down!
Flannery McCoy: And this time, the standing moonsault was actually able to hit with no problem! Joso wasn’t able to counter it in time, leading to the entire body weight of the Interwire Champion to come crashing down on his midsection!
Jake Mercer: And with that perfectly executed standing moonsault, Hans Grayson looks to put an end to this match as he hooks both of Joso’s legs as tightly as he can, going for the pinfall victory right here!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOO-
Stew-O: But Joso was able to emphatically kick out of it, refusing to stay down for the Interwire Champion! This is the perfect match for him to prove his abilities as the new World Heavyweight Champion, and you can feel that in his determination on display!
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson has a look of frustration at Joso’s resilience; just as much as Joso wants this win to solidify his new reign, Hans wants this to add an intense burst of credibility to his pursuit for the world title at Road to Redemption!
Jake Mercer: With that look in Grayson’s eyes, you know he’s ready to up the ante and give everything he has in order to put Joso down! He knows that it may be one of the toughest opponents he has to take down, especially after the hell that Joso went through to win the title in the first place!
Stew-O: Hans quickly rushes out onto the apron, scrambling between the top and middle ropes to do so, as he begins positioning himself and taking aim at the World Heavyweight Champion, who is starting to stir!
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson grabs the top rope with both hands as his eyes narrow with concentration; the World Heavyweight Champion still has yet to get up, and so Hans Grayson nods as he pushes the top rope down and leaps up!
Jake Mercer: He plants both feet onto the top rope before launching himself off them as high as he can go! A monumental springboard into the air before the Fire Heart performs a front flip in mid-air! What athleticism on display by the Interwire Champion!
Stew-O: HE’S GOING FOR THE GRAYSON SPLASH, THAT SPRINGBOARD 450 LOOKING TO CONNECT AND BRING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LOOK! JOSO KIPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! WE SAW HIM STIRRING BEFORE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS READY TO GET UP AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE!
Jake Mercer: HANS ISN’T ABLE TO CHANGE HIS TRAJECTORY IN MID-AIR! WITH THAT KIP UP, JOSO LEAPS UP HIMSELF AND CATCHES HANS AS HE’S COMING DOWN WITH A LEAPING KNEE SMASH!
Stew-O: THE KNEE SMASH CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE JAW OF THE FIRE HEART BEFORE HE CRASHES DOWN TO THE CANVAS, WITH HIS HEAD BOUNCING OFF THE RING MAT! IS HE OKAY?! THAT LOOKED DANGEROUS!
Flannery McCoy: High risk, high reward! You play dangerous games and you get dangerous prizes! The referee immediately gets down to check on Hans Grayson, who is laying with his face facing the World Heavyweight Champion! He looks out of it, and Joso immediately begins preparing and measuring the Interwire Champion up!
Jake Mercer: Joso is signaling for the end here! He’s–
(BASH!)
Stew-O: What the hell?! Who was that?!
Flannery McCoy: SOMEBODY IN A MASK JUST SMASHED JOSO ACROSS THE JAW WITH BRASS KNUCKLES! HE HOPS OFF THE APRON AND DUCKS BEFORE THE REFEREE IS ABLE TO SEE HIM!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson slowly staggers to a kneel, letting the referee know he’s okay, but Joso just dropped to his knees and flops onto the canvas with his jaw in his hands, that looked like it almost knocked him out!
Stew-O: Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! The Fire Heart scrambles forward seeing Joso’s position! He grabs him up and flips him over to have his face pointed towards the ground and the Interwire Champion’s back against the back of the Star Player’s head!
Flannery McCoy: IMPERIAL FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! THE UNPRETTIER CONNECTS, AND IF JOSO WASN’T KNOCKED OUT BEFORE, HE MAY BE KNOCKED OUT NOW FOR SURE!
Jake Mercer: GRAYSON IS GOING FOR THE COVER! DOES HE HAVE IT?! A WIN OVER THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ – AFI began playing to a mixed and confused reaction as Hans staggers to his feet with his arms raised in triumph!)
Stew-O: Congratulations to Hans Grayson for the victory, but it definitely was a tainted one! Who was that man that attacked Joso?!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT, LOOK OUT!
Jake Mercer: HE JUST SLID INTO THE RING! HANS SEES HIM BUT ISN’T ABLE TO REACT IN TIME BEFORE–
Stew-O: A DOUBLE-KNEE FACEBUSTER CONNECTS! WAIT, ISN’T THAT THE FINISHING MANEUVER OF–
(The masked man takes his mask off to reveal none other than Impact! The crowd roars with a mixed reaction, both confused and excited as Impact stands over both champions who are laying at his feet!)
Stew-O: I can’t believe it! The recently returned Impact just took out BOTH the Interwire and World Heavyweight Champion! He may have been gone for quite a while, but he’s making it known that he is the threat he always was!
Flannery McCoy: With him in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, you have no idea what’s going to happen! He just showed he’s capable of taking multiple champions out– is this how we’re going to end Road to Redemption?! Another world championship reign for Impact?!
(The video feed lingers on Impact as he looks down at both fallen champions and spreading his arms out, displaying his carnage, before the feed fades to black.)
(A commercial plays for Super Dynasty, featuring Daniella Atlas defending the Specialists Championship against Mia Santoro, Holly Arrow versus Saori Aizen in a Universal Women’s Championship chamber qualifier, Hans Grayson defending the Interwire Championship against Vincent Mondrian, and the main event being Rex McAllister versus Chris Elite in a World Heavyweight Championship qualifier.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns as the camera lingers on the ring, where the aftermath of the previous match is still in full effect. Joso is seen with a pissed off expression as he makes his way up the ramp, World Heavyweight Championship in tow while he does so. Meanwhile, Hans Grayson is seen still recovering in the ring, clearly with a displeased expression on his face despite the victory as he is handed the Interwire Championship. He is given a standing ovation, and just as he’s about to take his leave… he’s met with the sound of ‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim which begins to play through the speakers.)
Stew-O: Well, it was only a matter of time before he made his presence known. Last week he stated his intentions of going after the Interwire Championship, and now tonight Vincent Mondrian seems to be making his way out to the ring to confront Hans Grayson.
(The crowd gives a loud reaction as the camera goes over to show Vincent Mondrian as he is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He has a serious expression on his face as he eyes a tired Hans inside of the ring, shaking his head as he then begins to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Flannery McCoy: He put out the challenge, and I feel like it’s only a matter of time before Hans accepts. We know that he’s a fighting Champion, we know that he hasn’t backed down from a challenge yet, and better yet, he’s beaten everyone in his way. He’s stated his intentions of defending his title before competing in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and by the looks of it, Vincent seems to be giving him everything that he’s looking for right now. But it’s a question of whether or not Vincent is going to be the one that finally does him in.
Jake Mercer: We’re just going to have to see, but knowing my Hans, he’s not going to waver. We Graysonites stand tall in support of our Fireheart, and we know that he’s going to do everything in his power to make sure that he not only retains his title but adds another one to the collection in the form of the World Heavyweight Championship!
(Vincent makes his way up the steps and onto the apron as he enters into the ring. He makes his way over and takes a microphone from the ringside area as ‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ then begins to come to a close. From there, he makes his way over to Hans, both of them eyeing one another for a moment before Vincent then begins to speak.)
Vincent Mondrian: Last week I told everyone exactly what I wanted. I know not everything has gone well for me in my career as of late, but I was adamant about making things right. Flipping it all around on a dime and making sure that I walked into the new year a new man, poised to make a true impact in this company. I realized that the only way I could do that was through one thing and one thing only, was by walking into it with a title around my waist. This is what set me on this path going forward, to not let the losses that happened before define me, and to push to become something new, something better. So when I heard you say that you were going to not only compete in the Extreme Elimination Chamber but defend your Interwire Championship as well, I knew that I had to take advantage of that. I’ve seen what you’ve been able to do with that title around your waist, I’ve seen the dominance firsthand, and although it may seem foolish to try and lay out a challenge to you, I realize one thing… you’re compromised.
(Hans raises an eyebrow as he listens to what Vincent has to say. After a moment he makes his way over and grabs a microphone of his own, beginning to speak.)
Hans Grayson: I have no idea what you mean by that, Vincent. Compromised? If anything, now more than ever I’m prepared for the challenge at hand. I know that I’m putting a lot on my plate, defending my title and fighting for a whole other one, that’s fine. But I wouldn’t have put myself up to it if I wasn’t ready. So you know what? Enlighten me, Vincent, how in the world am I compromised when I’m in the best shape of my career?
Vincent Mondrian: You may think that you’re ready. Naturally, you’re going to believe that you’re ready for the task because you want the best to come out of this. But I see your past demons and I see how much they haunt you. This isn’t the first time that you’ve been in the Extreme Elimination Chamber fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship, we’ve seen you lose the opportunity and fall flat on your face no matter how hard of a fight you’ve put up. One Interwire Championship reign later, you step up to the plate thinking that you’re ready for it, but we all know the truth. The truth is that the result is going to end up the same, and that’s going to reflect badly on you and that Championship. You’re obsessed with making sure that isn’t the case, deep down, you’ve allowed that to cloud your true ambitions and that’s making sure that you defend that title. I’m taking advantage of that.
Hans Grayson: Do you want me to be honest with you? Yes, it does sting a little that the last time I was in the Extreme Elimination Chamber I ended up losing. Do I want things to be different this time around? Absolutely, and I’m going to make sure that happens. But if you think even for a second that I’m going to let that take away from the title that I already have, then you could not be more wrong. I’m focused and I’m poised, I know exactly who I am and I know exactly what I want to do, unlike you, I’ve got it pretty figured out, and I’ve proven that. You’ve seen my track record, you’ve seen everything that I’ve been able to do, my question is whether or not you’re going to be prepared for what I bring to the table.
Vincent Mondrian: Without question, and I’m going to stand on that. I knew from the very beginning that the one thing I wanted was to take that title away from you. I was going to do everything in my power in order to do that. If there’s one thing I know about you, Hans, it’s the fact that you’re stubborn. You’re going to continue pushing no matter if the odds are stacked against you or not, and that’s admirable, I’ll give you credit for that. But when it comes down to it, you and I both know that you don’t know what I’m capable of. Nobody does, because they haven’t seen the true Vincent Mondrian that they’re going to see when we face that title. I will go to depths that you never imagined I would go to in order to have my hand raised against you, and who knows, I might just make sure that you’re unable to walk into the Extreme Elimination Chamber to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship. I’m not just going to take that title away from you… I’m going to take everything.
(Hans has a serious expression on his face as he steps up to him further.)
Hans Grayson: Alright man, I was willing to let this be a simple one-on-one fight for the Interwire Title, but now, you’re getting way too ahead of yourself. If you’re going to make threats like these, you better be able to back them up. So I’m going to ask you again, and you’re going to answer me honestly, are you sure that you’re ready for this?
Vincent Mondrian: Stop acting stupid, Hans. We all know that I’m ready for this, it was never a question. I’ve been here long enough to know what goes on around here, the inner machinations of this brand, and I’ve prepared long enough for this moment. Something’s got to give, and I’m not just going to be one of those people who are incapable of seizing the opportunity and letting them slip, before ending up fading into obscurity and absolutely nothing. I’m going to make sure that I’m remembered for a very long time and the only way I can do that is my crushing you at my feet. Leaving absolutely nothing left. That is something that I am more than willing to do given the circumstances.
(Hans scoffs at this, shaking his head.)
Hans Grayson: Fine, Vincent, if you want a match then you got it. I’ll see you at Super Dynasty. I’d be real careful what you wish for, it might just cost you.
(Hans drops his microphone down to the ground as ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ begins to blast through the speakers again. He then turns around and makes his way out of the ring as Vincent watches on. The future challenger has a serious and determined expression on his face as he crosses his arms. The last shot seen is Hans making his way up the ramp, high-fiving the fans in the front row as Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is seen for drinking and driving featuring EAW World Champion Jake Smith.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns from the final commercial break of the night as Stephie Love is seen standing by with a microphone in hand.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a tag team match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Pride & Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd boos loudly for Drake Armstrong who is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He has a smirk on his face as his theme is replaced by ‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West which begins to play up. It then goes to Cy Henderson who is seen following behind him. The former rivals look at one another, determination plastered on their face, as they head down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… the team of CY HENDERSON AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie then begins to play up from there as Minerva is seen emerging onto the stage with her rose gritted between her teeth. She poses as her theme is replaced by ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi which plays up to cheers from the crowd. Myles is then seen making his way out from the backstage area, a man on a mission as he looks over to Minerva, with both of them nodding their heads knowing exactly what they need to do. They then begin to make their way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… the team of MYLES AND MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Well here we go as what is bound to be an interesting tag match is officially underway. Brand Warfare teammates reunite as Cy Henderson and Drake Armstrong team against the married couple of Myles and Minerva. As we know, Cy and Myles have had their problems as of late, and it seems like they have the chance to settle that in the ring tonight. Though I’m sure Myles and Minerva will be able to operate just fine, considering everything that Cy said about Drake and the rest of his Brand Warfare team after Territorial Invasion a couple of months ago, I can’t help but wonder if there’s some tension there. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: If Drake is still bitter about that, then he’s a baby. He’s in the presence of greatness and even though both of them have been rivals in the past, he knows to wisen up and cooperate with him, just trust it!
Flannery McCoy: Well Drake and Minerva are starting this match for their respective corners- AND IMMEDIATELY DRAKE SHOOTS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE OF MINERVA! Minerva is taken aback by this, and Drake wastes no time snatching her by the head and beginning to absolutely unload with strikes! This is not the start that the Hall of Famer particularly wants right now, but we know Drake is a slimy bastard and is going to take advantage of the situation given the right opportunity! Minerva is pushed against the ropes as Drake grabs the wrist and sends her to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO TAKE HER DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Minerva is taken down and Drake is wasting no time mounting on top of her and beginning to unload with fists to the head once again! He knows that he’s going to have to apply pressure, because as soon as he doesn’t, Minerva is going to end up taking advantage of it! Drake then grabs Minerva by the head and brings her up to her feet, bringing her into a front facelock as he sets her up… GOING FOR A SNAP SUPLEX-
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA GOES OVER HIM AND LANDS BEHIND! Drake spins around and goes for a strike to the face- BUT MINERVA DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! It connects flush as Drake staggers back and falls against the ropes… BUT HE BOUNCES OFF AS HE ATTEMPTS TO STRIKE HER- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT AS SHE GOES BEHIND HIM AND LIFTS HIM INTO A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! DRAKE IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AND MINERVA BRIDGES THE GERMAN SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRST PIN ATTEMPT OF THE MATCH!
OOONNEEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE QUICKLY SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Drake is hurt but he’s slowly rising to his feet, only for Minerva to make her way over and deliver a swift kick to the abdomen to double him over! She then grabs a hold of him by the wrist before sending him toward her corner with an Irish whip! Minerva then gets a running start… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING FOREARM STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: After that connects, she wastes zero time reaching over and tagging out to Myles! Myles enters the ring as Minerva keeps Drake pressed against the corner… WITH MYLES RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A HARD KNEE TO THE APRON!
Stew-O: Minerva leaves onto the apron as Drake is hurt right now, Myles quickly grabs him by the head and sends him down to a seated position with a Snapmare. Myles then sizes him up… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE SPINE! Myles then turns around and runs to the ropes and back… SEEMINGLY GOING FOR ANOTHER KICK STRAIGHT TO HIS CHEST TO TAKE HIM DOWN-
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! CY JUMPS DOWN OFF THE APRON AND GRABS THE ANKLE OF MYLES! He yanks at the former World Heavyweight Champion and you can see how pissed off that just made him. Reminder, that was what cost him his match against Drake Armstrong last week, and it’s certainly not something that’s sitting well in the mind of Myles here tonight. Myles though can’t let that distract him as he turns around and makes his way over to Drake-
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE GRABS HIM AND ROLLS HIM INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN! SHADES OF LAST WEEK! HE’S TRYING TO STEAL THE WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES MANAGES TO KICK OUT! He was caught off guard there but managed to rebound as both of them made their way back up to their feet… BUT IT’S MYLES THAT MANAGED TO CATCH HIM AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Myles dips down to a kneeling position but is quick to get back up… ONLY FOR DRAKE TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND CATCH HIM JUST IN TIME TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Drake then backward rolls up to his feet as he turns around and makes his way over to his corner…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: AS HE TAGS CY HENDERSON INTO THIS MATCH! This is certainly an interesting situation right now as Myles slowly makes his way back up to his feet… BUT CY IS QUICK TO RUSH OVER AND CONNECT WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! CY THEN MOUNTS ON TOP OF HIM AS HE BEGINS TO ABSOLUTELY UNLOAD ON HIM WITH STRIKES TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: Cy knows that if he gives him the chance, Myles is going to unleash a flurry on him, so he’s going to make sure that he absolutely does not get that! Cy rises back up to his feet as Myles slowly begins to drag himself away toward an empty corner, bringing himself back up to his feet as Cy looks like he wants to do some more… GOING FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE!
Flannery McCoy: NO! MYLES MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO SEND HIM BACKWARD! He then turns around as he seems to be making his ascent toward the top rope, looking to fly… BUT BEFORE HE DOES IT’S CY THAT RUSHES FORWARD AND TRIES TO STRIKE HIM IN THE FACE- BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT, MYLES MANAGES TO KICK HIM BACKWARD ONCE MORE! As he then balances himself… BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A METEORA!
Jake Mercer: Cy realizes the situation that he’s in and is quick to roll himself out of the ring, getting a breath of fresh air before bringing himself back into this match. But knowing Myles, he’s not going to let that happen. He turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A TOPE CON GIRO TO CY HENDERSON!
Stew-O: Cy is hit by this and it’s clear this is not at all what he wanted to go down right now! Myles grabs a hold of him and brings him up to his feet, rolling him back into the ring through the bottom rope as he then climbs up onto the apron and follows suit. Myles is slowly crawling toward the center of the ring, but Myles isn’t going to let him get very far. He grabs a hold of him and brings him up to his feet, proceeding to lift him up off the ground into position, and I think we know what he’s going for here!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE SPINS CY AROUND AND DROPS HIM DOWN STRAIGHT INTO ‘WRATHFUL DAYSTAR’! THE TWISTING CANADIAN RACK DDT-
Jake Mercer: NO! CY MANAGES TO FIGHT HIS WAY OUT AS HE WIGGLES HIMSELF FREE! HE LANDS BEHIND MYLES AS HE IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND ROLLS HIM INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN! TRYING TO TAKE HIM OFF GUARD!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! BOTH OF THEM RISE UP TO THEIR FEET AS MYLES IS QUICK TO RUSH OVER-
Flannery McCoy: BUT JUST IN TIME IT’S CY WHO MANAGES TO SPIN AROUND AND TAKE MYLES’ HEAD OFF WITH THE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’! THE DISCUS LARIAT CONNECTS AND CY IS QUICK TO DROP DOWN AND HOOK THE LEG! WILL HE GET THIS?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHH-
Jake Mercer: NO! ONCE AGAIN MYLES MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Both of them have thrown everything that they’ve had at one another, and it’s clear that there’s absolutely no love loss between the two right now. Cy rises up to a seated position, and it’s clear that the high-octane pace of this match has begun to take its toll as he slowly rises up to his feet, meanwhile, Myles seems to be reaching out, seeing the precarious position that he’s in right now and trying to tag out to Minerva to get her into the fold.
Stew-O: But Cy is quick to reach out and grab a hold of his ankle before bringing him toward the center of the ring, trying to get him away from his corner… but before he can do anything else, it seems like Myles is beginning to slowly hobble up to his feet, not letting Cy get the better of him right now… AS HE LIFTS UP AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD TO FORCE HIMSELF FREE!
Flannery McCoy: Cy staggers backward and falls against his corner, as Myles turns around and takes a leap!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: AS HE TAGS HIMSELF OUT AND GETS MINERVA INTO THIS MATCH!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BUT AT THE SAME TIME, CY MANAGES TO TAG OUT TO DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND GET HIM INTO THIS MATCH AS WELL!
Flannery McCoy: Both of them enter into the ring and immediately rush toward one another… AS DRAKE TRIES TO THROW A PUNCH- BUT MINERVA BLOCKS AS SHE SENDS ONE BACK! She grabs a hold of him by the arm and sends him to the ropes… BEFORE LIFTING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Drake lands flat on his back as he quickly rises back up to his feet, trying again as he rushes over to her again… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SECOND BIG BOOT BY MINERVA WHICH DROPS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Drake is clearly in a tough position right now, and Minerva isn’t looking to make things much better for him. She grabs him and brings him back up to his feet again, once again trying to send him to the ropes with an Irish whip- But that doesn’t happen as Drake manages to shift his weight and turn it around, sending her to the ropes instead… GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! SHE INSTEAD RUNS HERSELF TO THE ROPES AND BACK…
Stew-O: AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS HARD WITH ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! SUPERKICK STRAIGHT TO THE JAW OF DRAKE ARMSTRONG DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND MINERVA IS QUICK TO DROP DOWN AND HOOK THE LEG AS SHE GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! Extremely close, but the former Interwire Champion manages to keep it alive for his team as Cy Henderson breathes a sigh of relief in his corner. Minerva knew that wasn’t going to be enough, but it seemed like she was looking to take the next step forward and close this one out while she had the opportunity.
Jake Mercer: She rises up to her feet and takes a moment to catch her breath, circling around Drake like a hawk who just found their prey, and Drake is slowly beginning to rise himself back up to his feet. It seems like he has absolutely no clue where he is right now as Minerva grabs him by the head and begins to set him up…
Stew-O: AS SHE LIFTS DRAKE OFF OF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS’! THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER TO FINISH THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT, DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF MINERVA AND ROLLS HER INTO THE SECOND INSIDE CRADLE PIN OF THE MATCH! HE’S TRYING TO STEAL THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN COUNT TO THREE! SHE RISES BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE TRIES TO RESPOND TO DRAKE… BUT BEFORE SHE CAN, DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND LIFTS HER OFF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ATOMIC DROP! He isn’t done either as he turns around and runs to the ropes… CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT FLUSH TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Drake managed to turn things around in his favor for the time being, but he has to make sure that it stays that way, or else he may as well consider this match done with. Minerva slowly tries to rise up to her feet… but before she can do that, it’s Drake who drops down and locks in a chin lock to keep her in place! He tightens the grip that he has on her, making sure that there’s absolutely no way that she can get one over on him, but I feel as though it’s only going to be a matter of time before she gets her footing in this one.
Flannery McCoy: Minerva is beginning to press her feet down to the ground, slowly beginning to rise back up to her feet right now. Drake realizes that he’s losing ground and is doing what he can right now to drop his weight down and force her down, but Minerva is doing everything that she possibly can right now in order to escape from this! She manages to make her way up to her feet, as she begins to unload on Drake Armstrong with hard elbow strikes to his chest to try and force herself out of this right here!
Jake Mercer: But Drake is barely managing to hold on, staggering backward and trying to make sure that he keeps a hold of her right here! But Minerva is absolutely relentless right here, doing everything that she possibly can in order to hold her ground right now! Drake presses himself against one of the corners as the referee steps in and tries to break the two of them apart!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE MANAGED TO KEEP A HOLD OF HER LONG ENOUGH FOR CY TO REACH OUT AND TAG HIMSELF IN! Cy enters the ring as Minerva manages to break herself free from the grasp of Drake Armstrong… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A HARD FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE BY CY HENDERSON! Drake collapses and rolls himself out of the ring as Minerva falls backward into the corner, and Cy is wasting absolutely zero time beginning to stomp down on her abdomen!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva is slowly slumping down to a seated position in the corner and Cy is taking advantage of the situation that she’s been placed in right now! He then grabs a hold of her before pulling her in… LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER DOWN WITH A SNAP POWERSLAM! Cy is making sure that he’a in control right now and is going to make sure that she absolutely is given no chance to recover. But Minerva is slowly crawling away toward the center of the ring, trying to do everything that she can right now in order to get back into this.
Jake Mercer: Cy grabs her by the head and brings her back up… BUT IT’S MINERVA WHO MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SHARP ELBOW TO THE CHEST! She manages to break herself free as she spins around… CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KICK STRAIGHT TO THE SIDE OF CY’S HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! He’s hurt and that gives Minerva the perfect opportunity to turn herself around as she runs to the ropes and back…
Stew-O: BUT AS SHE DOES, CY SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AND RUSHES FORWARD AS HE GOES FOR A GORE STRAIGHT TO MINERVA! ‘CALAMITY’ ATTEMPT-
Flannery McCoy; NO! THAT DOESN’T END UP WORKING OUT! MINERVA MANAGES TO SIDESTEP OUT OF THE WAY AND AVOID THE FINISHER! Close call as Cy rolls down to the ground but manages to get himself back up to his feet…
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR MINERVA TO LEAP
UP AND CONNECT WITH ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ STRAIGHT TO THE JAW! A STUNNING SUPERKICK KNOCKS CY BACKWARD AS HE MANAGES TO STAGGER HIMSELF TOWARD ONE OF THE CORNERS JUST IN TIME-
(TAG!)
Stew-O: AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG TAGS HIMSELF IN! DRAKE IS QUICK TO ENTER INTO THE RING AS HE THROWS A STRIKE AT MINERVA- BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! SHE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK…
Flannery McCoy: BUT AS SHE DOES, DRAKE MANAGES TO LEAP HIMSELF INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A HARD JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! Drake then turns around and runs to the ropes himself as Minerva struggles to make her way up to her feet… SNATCHING HER BY THE HEAD AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A RUNNING NECKBREAKER! Drake is getting his team back into this match and he is absolutely making sure that he does not take any prisoners!
Jake Mercer: Drake steps backward and toward one of the corners as he eyes Minerva making her way up to her feet. Both of these teams have been engaged in a vicious back and forth so far, both of them vying for supremacy. Drake quickly begins to set himself up as he wastes no time beginning to rush himself forward…
Stew-O: LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR THE ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’! THE RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE ABDOMEN OF THE HALL OF FAMER TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JUST IN TIME, MINERVA MANAGES TO STEP BACK AND SNATCH A HOLD OF HIS ANKLES BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT WITH THE MOVE! Minerva is quick to maneuver herself as she seems to be trying to lock in a submission hold right here, but Drake wants absolutely no part of it as he uses his legs to shove her away and send her backward! Drake is quick to rise up to his feet as he makes his way toward her!
Jake Mercer: But Minerva manages to side step out of the way as she grabs him by the head and sends him toward her corner! Drake tries to retaliate… BUT MINERVA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A STIFF FOREARM SMASH RIGHT TO THE FACE WHICH LEAVES HIM ABSOLUTELY ROCKED!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: TAG OUT TO MYLES! Myles enters into the ring as Minerva leaves for the apron, and he rushes over… ONLY FOR DRAKE TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! He’s quick to grab a hold of him by the wrist and send him to the ropes and back… BUT AS HE DOES THAT, MYLES LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND NAILS HIM HARD WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: Drake is dropped down to the canvas and Myles is immediately taking advantage of this opportunity, grabbing a hold of him by the head and bringing him up to his feet…
Jake Mercer: AS HE POPS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR A ‘DE FACTO’ ATTEMPT! THE SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP CONNECTS-
Stew-O: NO! DRAKE SLIPS OUT AND LANDS BEHIND MYLES AS HE SPINS HIM AROUND AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! HE’S GOING FOR IT!
Flannery McCoy: ‘DEATH PENALTY’! GOTCH-STYLE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ONTO MYLES CONNECTS AND DRAKE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN! MINERVA IS QUICK TO ENTER INTO THE RING AND TRY AND STOP THIS-
Jake Mercer: BUT CY HENDERSON JUST ROUNDED THE RING AND GRABBED HER BY THE ANKLE BEFORE YANKING HER OFF THE APRON! HE GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND SENDS HER STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE AS THE REFEREE COUNTS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
Stew-O: NO! JUST IN TIME, MYLES MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP AND KICK OUT OF THE MOVE! DRAKE IS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! HE CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE JUST WITNESSED!
(Drake slams the mat repeatedly as he looks around in shock. Cy can’t believe what he’s seeing either as Drake rises back up to his feet, shaking his head. Myles is beginning to gain his bearings as he slowly begins to rise up to his feet, slowly turning himself around…)
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE SEEMINGLY HAS SET HIM UP FOR SOMETHING BIG HERE!
Jake Mercer: AS HE GOES FOR THE ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’ STRAIGHT TO THE ABDOMEN OF MYLES! THE RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK!
Stew-O: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! MYLES MANAGES TO COME ALIVE AS HE GRABS DRAKE AND SETS HIM UP!
Flannery McCoy: CONNECTING WITH THE ‘DE FACTO’ TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP! BUT MYLES ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: AS HE REACHES OUT AND TAGS IN MINERVA! MINERVA IS HURT BUT SHE’S QUICK TO ENTER INTO THE RING AS SHE GRABS A HOLD OF DRAKE AND BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET! CY SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IS TRYING HIS BEST TO GET INTO THE RING AND STOP THIS-
Stew-O: BUT MYLES CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! THAT GIVES MINERVA THE OPPORTUNITY…
Flannery McCoy: AS MINERVA CONNECTS WITH ‘ ‘ATLAS FALLS’! SPINNING BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS AND SHE’S QUICK TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR THE PIN RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ begins to play through the speakers as Minerva rises up to her feet. She has a smirk on her face as a tired Myles makes his way over and takes her hand and raises it into the air. The crowd cheers loudly as both of them exchange a loving embrace.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners… the team of MYLES AND MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Chat, it’s so cooked.
Stew-O: Don’t say that. Myles and Minerva brought it to Cy and Drake, and that was one hell of a main event here on Friday Night Dynasty. After last week, it was clear both were walking into this one with a point to prove and a statement to make, and they did exactly that.
Flannery McCoy: Myles got some well needed payback on Cy, but knowing Cy, he’s not going to take that lying down. He’s going to give his everything to make sure that he gets his getback, but that’s something for next time. For right now, that’s all we have for you tonight!
Stew-O: Congratulations to Myles and Minerva on the victory! For Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, I’m Stew-O, signing out!
(Cy is seen seated against the barricade, looking unhappy about how everything happened to pan out. The last shot seen is Myles and Minerva leaving together as Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to complete black.)
