(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty opens up to a recap of last week’s show: Cameron Ella Ava comes out to the ring prompting Limmy Monaghan to do the same, as both of them make their Operation: Doomsday match for the World Heavyweight Championship official. Nick Hart is met by Shane Gates and the both of them agree to a match next week with their careers on the line. Jamie Cross gets the win over Nick Hart. Caroline enters her locker room area and is met with a Valentine’s Day surprise which she is disgusted by, curated by Korey Gaines who invites him to Voltage that week. Ruler gets the win over Axel Graves. Ruler then meets Bronson Daniels backstage and gives him a second chance to think about the offer, Bronson slaps him in the face and starts a brawl that needs to be split up. PJ Hendrx gets a win over Kylie Grace in front of the Interwire Champion Amir Yusuf who leaves while PJ celebrates. Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson visit Dynasty and are met by Soul Food Sunday who plan to defend their Unified Tag Team Championships against them at Operation: Doomsday. Serenity Valdez and Madison Kaline get a victory over the Off-Brand Amphetamines before Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki run down and attack OBA after the match, before Milli Banks swoops in with a steel chair for the save. Backstage Milli and OBA agree to have one another’s backs for the time being. Bronson Daniels gets a win over Sierra Bradford. Joso has a backstage interview promising revenge on Scott Diamond. Scott Diamond then gets a win over Jay Jerry Johnson before being attacked by Joso from behind after the match. Sienna Jade then comes out to the ring and cuts a promo before being interrupted by Serenity Valdez as the two of them have a brawl before Serenity retreats away. Thanks to a distraction by Ryan and Xander, Limmy Monaghan and Cameron Ella Ava get a win over Soul Food Sunday to end the show and the recap.)
(Friday Night Dynasty immediately breaks away from the recap and goes to the First Interstate Arena in Billings, Montana, with ‘Toad’ by Justin Hurwitz being heard playing through the speakers and then responding with thunderous cheers in response. The camera then goes over to show EAW Hall of Famer Scott Diamond beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He has a usual nonchalant expression on his face while he paces back and forth on the stage, dawning his casual lumberjack apparel for the night, before then throwing his arms in the air and having pyro shoot out behind him to accompany it. From there he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE PERFECT STORM’… SCOTT DIAMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!! It looks like we’re starting immediately with ‘The Mad Titan’! Last week Scott Diamond had his second match on Dynasty since his return, facing Jay Jerry Johnson. Jay put up a great fight against some tough competition, but in the end, it was Scott who got the upper hand and managed to come out victorious. It didn’t go as smoothly as he would expect though, as after the match Joso would attack him with a steel chair and lay him out. The two of them have had their problems as of late, and it stems from Scott laying him out after his return match against Amir Yusuf the week prior to the end of the show.
Flannery McCoy: Joso clearly has not taken kindly to his disrespect as of late, but right now judging by the look on Scott’s face, it’s really hard to tell if he even knows who Joso is. Don’t mistake that for carelessness though, as I did and I truly did pay the price with Scott calling me out in his promotional video, because Scott Diamond does care a lot about what he does in the ring. I’m sure by the end of this we might get some sort of confirmation of whether or not Scott and Joso will be meeting in the ring anytime soon, which will make for a great match.
Jake Mercer: Oh Flannery, getting exposed for fake information, that could never be me. My sources do tell me though that a rumored match between Scott Diamond and Joso isn’t even supposed to happen! The two are supposed to settle their differences tonight and just move on with their careers, remind yourself of this once this is over and I’ll laugh in your face.
Flannery McCoy: :francis: You can’t be serious right now.
(Scott makes his way past the bottom of the ramp and leaps up onto the apron, jumping in place for a moment before then entering through the ropes into the ring. He scans around at the hyped crowd here tonight, who are firmly on his side, before then making his way over to grab a microphone from the timekeeper’s area. ‘Toad’ begins to fade out while Scott stands at the center of the ring, bringing a microphone up to his mouth before then beginning to speak.)
Scott Diamond: My under-the-radar welcome hasn’t come with much of a warm reception now, has it? I’m not going to come out here to beat around the bush, I’m going to get right to the point, I attacked the wrong people, pushed the wrong buttons, and now someone by the name of Joso has me in their crosshairs.
(The crowd gives a strong mixed reaction upon hearing the name of the former Interwire Champion, Scott can’t help but give a small grin in response.)
Scott Diamond: I’d love to say that he’s impressed me with the lengths that he’s taken in order to get my attention, but really he hasn’t struck me as a formidable face amongst this flock of birds that I walk amongst. That’s been the entire basis behind my return, the feeling-out process that comes with an environment that has drastically changed since the last time I was an active competitor. Sure, you could say I had a taste of that when I returned to face Andre at Grand Rampage, but I think I made it apparent that I didn’t really care as much as I do now about that. Regardless of how you may look at it though, to me, new faces, same faces. Amir Yusuf was not much different than Jay Jerry Johnson, and it pains me to say that considering the lost faith that I put in both of them, You’d think that someone who has arguably done more than both of them would be different, but really not. There’s a reason I didn’t give much consideration to him even after he did “help” me get a victory, even after I did attack him after the match. Nothing sets him apart other than the concentrated focus on Scott Diamond, it truly is unappealing.
Scott Diamond: But, I do see where he is coming from, and after hearing what he said last week, I do believe that despite what I may think about him we got off on the wrong foot. Sure what I’ve just said may leave him a bit uneasy, and may leave him on edge the next time he and I meet face-to-face instead of back-to-steel, but I do believe that the two of us still have time to reconcile our differences right now. So you know what, let’s do that. Joso, how about you get on out here and we can talk like rational men?
(Scott lowers his microphone and turns over to the stage while the crowd erupts into cheers over the potential of a confrontation between these two Elitists.)
Jake Mercer: SEE! I TOLD YOU! THERE’S GOING TO HAVE A HANDSHAKE AND HUG ON IT! JAKE IS NEVER WRONG!
Flannery McCoy: Sure pal, I highly doubt it, but sure.
(‘Trophies’ by Drake is then heard playing up with the camera going over from the ring to the stage where Joso is seen beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He bears a usual cocky and arrogant grin on his face, hearing what Scott is saying loud and clear and looking to rub it in his face rather than “talk it out” as he said. He takes a moment to let this all soak in before then beginning to make his way down the ramp, already having a microphone in hand while he does so. He passes the bottom of the ramp and makes his way up the steel steps, heading onto the apron before then entering the ring. He continues to boast while he makes his way over to Scott and ‘Trophies’ comes to a close.)
Joso: You probably expect some pity parade from me, huh?
(Joso paces around the ring, tapping his finger to his cheek while he does so, obviously in a sarcastic manner.)
Joso: You expect me to come out here and say that you’re right, we got off on the wrong foot and I apologize. But Scott, you and I both know what you did. Yeah, don’t think I forgot how this all started, you even said it yourself. I went out of my way to help you in your match against Amir Yusuf, gave you a free win against that charity case of a Champion, and what do you do? You attack me, you disrespect me, and now you think you can just get away with it by trying to apologize? Sure man, but not before I rub it in your face. I said from the beginning that I was Get Back Gang and now that you know you all cowardly about it, I would be too if I pissed off someone like myself. But you know what, good on you for realizing that before I had to put down another washed-up has-been, you get me?
(Scott, despite the harsh words being spoken by Joso, doesn’t seem all that hurt by them… or does he. In all fairness, it’s really hard to tell if he’s taking offense or not to what he’s said.)
Scott Diamond: I’ll give you one thing, you have confidence, more confidence than a lot of people can say for themselves. The fact that you came out here and said everything that you wanted to say, ESPECIALLY knowing what I can and have done to you, I’ll admit is bold.
Joso: Uh huh, yeah man.
Scott Diamond: Truth be told, Joso, you coming out here really knocked my socks off, you impressed me… pal… Even bolder of you to express your feelings toward me, calling me a “washed-up has-been in your words”, did an excellent job at reinventing the wheel by the way. You really got a future here kid.
(Joso even goes as far as to yawn at what Scott is saying.)
Joso: Whatever man, so what you want to come out here and shake my hand is that what you’re saying?
(Scott looks at him, before shrugging his shoulders, extending his hand out.)
Joso: You know, more people around here gotta be like you, owning up to their mistakes and realizing where they went wrong. You didn’t want any smoke, and I get it, you understood that there was no need to put on this fake face to justify your mistakes, you did the right thing.
(Joso continuing to show confidence in “punking” him, accepts his handshake while Scott has a big smile on his face.)
Joso: There we go! Alright, it’s been real, but I gotta go…
(Joso tries to leave the situation, but Scott continues to shake his hand. His smug look turns into worry while the veins in Scott’s hands begin to pop as he grips Joso’s hand tighter. His eyes widen while Scott’s big smile turns into a menacing look…)
Stew-O: SCOTT PULLS JOSO IN AND NAILS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! THIS CROWD GOES BERSERK UPON IMPACT AND JOSO KNOWS THAT HE’S JUST MADE THE HUGEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE!
Flannery McCoy: So Jake… what were you saying?
Jake Mercer: …
Stew-O: SCOTT DROPS DOWN AND MOUNTS ON TOP OF HIM BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH ELBOWS AND FOREARMS AND STRIKES TO THE FACE! JUST A BRUTAL ARSENAL OF WEAPONRY BEING USED AT FULL FORCE TOWARD POOR JOSO WHO IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO BLOCK AND FEND THEM OFF! SCOTT CAUGHT HIM BY SURPRISE THOUGH AND THAT COMBINED WITH HIS SHEER POWER AND FORCE IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT GRABS HIM AND BRINGS HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET, TURNING HIM AROUND BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO HIS HEAD! HE TAKES HIM DOWN BUT KEEPS A HOLD OF HIM BY THE WAIST WHILE HE DRAGS HIM BACK UP, FOR ANOTHER GERMAN! HE ISN’T DONE AS HE’S LOOKING TO FINISH OFF THE TRIFECTA, LANDING A THIRD! SCOTT LOOKS TO FINISH THE JOB NOW AS HE DRAGS HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET BY HIS HEAD…
Jake Mercer: ‘THE VORTEX’! F5 CONNECTS! JOSO IS OUT!
(Scott immediately pops back up to his feet, dusting himself off and pacing around the ring while eyeing the hard camera. Joso is completely unresponsive thanks to the attack, and it’s clear who got the upperhand here tonight despite what it may have looked like. ‘Toad’ begins to play through the speakers again while Scott steps over Joso, dropping down and rolling out of the ring before then beginning to make his way up the ramp. He eyes the ring one more time before the last shot is shown of him disappearing through the backstage area while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Chick Fil A featuring Jake Smith.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from a brief commercial break with ‘Trophies’ by Drake being heard playing in the background. The camera goes into the ring to show a hurt Joso clutching his spine in pain while using the ropes to help himself up. He’s hurt after the attack by Scott Diamond and the referee is checking on him, but by the looks of things nothing is going to stop him from going through with this match.)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is a contest set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… ‘THE NEW ERA’… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping With Sirens is then heard playing up with a serious Caroline beginning to make her way out with the New Breed Championship wrapped firmly around her waist. She is focused dead on the ring with nothing but a cold expression on her face, before then beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Paducah, Kentucky… weighing in at 109 pounds… ‘THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS’… CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: And this match is now underway officially, where now only time will tell if Joso is well enough to handle Caroline after that “Vortex’ from Scott Diamond moments ago, he’s very clearly wobbly on his feet but nonetheless Joso is NOT backing out!
Flannery McCoy: And there comes a time whether you take that as truly unbelievable courage, or utter stupidity. Joso is truly generational as a talent, and we KNOW when prepared and healthy there is a high chance of beating someone like Caroline – but right now? He should be worrying about his safety, taking a moment in medical instead of coming out here! I just hope he’s gonna be alright. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Well I don’t think Caroline shares your best interest here – As she quickly sends a knee to the gut of Joso who is too disoriented to expect it! Caroline with a flash knee to Joso’s gut, as now she moves to his side and pulls him into a headlock, really applying pressure to the head of Joso knowing that’s his Achilles Heel in this match following Scott Diamond’s attack!
Stew-O: And you can’t blame Caroline for taking initiative on Joso’s peril, surely she is aware of what Scott Diamond did, and when you’re given the keys to the kingdom you can only expect to put them to use!
Flannery McCoy: And any hope for Joso that Caroline would take it easy on him has officially dissipated, as Joso is trying to struggle out the headlock, Caroline maintaining control as she slowly backs herself up towards the ropes with Joso in tow, rebounding off of them – BEFORE SPLASHING JOSO AGAINST THE MAT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!
Jake Mercer: And Joso instantly stunned, clenching his nose as he felt every bit of that bulldog; with Caroline just smirking, seeing her plan coming into fruition – Caroline has practically been given a free win here, Joso’s fighting a war that’s been deadset on him losing!
Stew-O: And it’s his doing in the first place, all we could do is see if he defeats the odds and shocks the world tonight, as Caroline now reaches down to pull JOso up – OH, BUT JOSO REACHING FOR CAROLINE’S NECK AND FORCING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE, COVER!!!
OONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: Caroline kicking out quickly, rather shocked by the inside cradle from Joso as she springs up to her feet, trying to withhold her advantage – BUT JOSO BEATS HER IN THE FOOT RACE TO A VERTICAL POSITION, AND SENDS CAROLINE RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A PUMP-UP BIG BOOT!
Jake Mercer: You guys asked for Joso to defeat the odds? Well here is his argument in doing so! Joso laying Caroline out quickly, and now momentum has swung to his side of the court, and all though he still is visibly hurting he is making the best of what he’s got and making sparks fly! Joso now quickly dragging Caroline to the center of the ring, needing desperately to wear her down and give himself a better chance – AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE IS GOING TO TRY!
Flannery McCoy: Yes! With Joso now reaching for Caroline’s legs, pulling them off the ground, before standing over her back and wrenching her legs backwards – JOSO LOCKING IN A BOSTON CRAB ON CAROLINE WHO IS STUCK IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
Stew-O: And Caroline struggling to get out clearly, trying to claw her way to the bottom rope, but Joso not letting up easily, pulling her right back into the center of the ring with every bit of progress she makes, Caroline is NOT getting out of this easy :lupe:
Jake Mercer: And it’s getting to the champion now, the pain beginning to truly surge as Joso tightens his grip, the blood flowing away from Caroline’s legs faster ever second, and she seems to be wavering her hand above the mat, there is no WAY she taps here; this might be the biggest and fastest upset of 2023… or EAW in GENERAL!
Flannery McCoy: I will say this is getting pretty close for comfort, Caroline not able to make it anywhere close to the ropes due to Joso’s in-ring awareness, giving Caroline no choice but to tap here… NO! Caroline getting unique with her counter offense, putting her flexibility to her advantage as she yearns her body to the side – BEFORE GETTING A GOOD ANGLE TO PUMMEL THE LEG OF JOSO SUPPORTING HIM, JOSO TRYING TO STAY BALANCED ON HIS FEET – BUT WITH ONE LAST FOREARM SHOT TO THE BACK OF HIS LEG, JOSO LOSES HIS BALANCE!
Stew-O: Caroline getting crafty to find her way out of the Boston Crab, but as you can see, she instantly goes to clutching at her legs; Joso doing the necessary damage that he was planning on to make this match a little more favorable, as Caroline tries to get up to her feet with the help of the ropes – BUT JOSO QUICKLY GETTING HIS SENSES, CATCHING HER BY THE WAIST AND LOOKING TO DELIVER A GERMAN SUPLEX TO A UNAWARE CAROLINE!!
Flannery McCoy: OH, BUT CAROLINE LANDS ON HER FEET! FLIPPING WITH THE MOMENTUM, THAT GYMNAST BACKGROUND PROVING VIABLE YET AGAIN AS JOSO DOESN’T EVEN REALIZE YET! Joso taking his sweet time turning around, hearing a thud but not being aware Caroline was more than alright, as Joso turns back around towards the New Breed Champion –
Jake Mercer: SCORPION KICK! JOSO GETTING MET WITH A SCORPION KICK FROM CAROLINE! Joso in a state of shock as he stays on his feet, rebounding backwards into the ropes, Caroline taking initiative here, seeing Joso coming back – AND A SUPERKICK FROM CAROLINE!!!
Stew-O: And Joso STILL not going down! Heading to the ropes again, Joso not putting his white flag in the air, wobbling on spaghetti legs as Caroline looks to take advantage of that fact – AND CAROLINE LOOKING FOR A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE JAW OF JOSO TO TAKE HIM DOWN FOR GOOD…
Jake Mercer: AND SHE GETS IT!, SPINNING JOSO AROUND UPON IMPACT – OH, BUT JOSO TURNING RIGHT BACK TO CAROLINE AND LANDING A STEP-UP ENZIGURI, BOTH ELITIST GOING DOWN TO THE MAT!!
Flannery McCoy: What a last minute counter from Joso to keep Caroline from taking over this match, as both Elitist are down, now making this a race of who can get to their feet on time; as Joso and Caroline lock eyes with each other, both analyzing each other, as the two begin slowly getting up to a knee; almost in sync, as it seems neither one is beating the other to their feet!
Stew-O: And I don’t think it’s a race anymore, both of these competitors waiting for the other to make it up to their feet, as both Joso and Caroline reach a vertical base, staring down each other as the mental games of this match-up begin to ensue!
Jake Mercer: it’s all a matter of time before someone makes the first move – AND I SUPPOSE CAROLINE WILL TAKE THE REIGNS, SLAPPING THE CHEEK OF JOSO! Joso’s head turning off impact, as he seems to acknowledge the striking power Caroline’s coming with – BEFORE JOSO HIMSELF LAUNCHES A RIGHT HAND TO CAROLINE, Caroline taking a step back, clutching her cheek as she stares daggers into Joso who shrugs, grinning ear to ear…
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW JOSO AND CAROLINE BEGIN TO BRAWL, BOTH SENDING STRIKES AT THE OTHER, SEEING WHO WILL FALL OUT FIRST AS NEITHER ONE ARE LETTING UP!
Stew-O: Though you have to remember, Joso’s head is way more vulnerable due to the attack Scott Diamond placed on him, and it’s showing as Caroline seems to be winning the fist fight here, Joso backing off; before Caroline SHOVES him away, creating distance as she runs forward towards him, CAROLINE LIFTING UP HER LEG AS SHE LOOKS FOR HER SPLIT LEG-DROP, ‘VINTAGE CAROLINNEEEE!!!’ —
Jake Mercer: BUT YET AGAIN JOSO EVADES< DUCKING THE LEG AS CAROLINE STAGGERS FORWARD, SPINNING AROUND TO JOSO – AND JOSO CATCHING HER RIGHT INTO HIS WAITING ARMS FOR A FRONT SUPLEX LIFT, JOSO LAUNCHING CAROLINE UP… ‘EXECUTIONER FROM HELL!!!!!’ JOSO LANDING THE CUTTER AS CAROLINE GOES DOWN AND HE QUICKLY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THHREEEE-
Flannery McCoy: AND CAROLINE KICKS OUT! Joso trying to find ways for himself to win this match but Caroline not going down without a fight as she kicks out of his signature maneuver, keeping her chances of winning alive in this match, as now Joso comes over to the limp body of Caroline, seemingly with a plan in mind as he pushes Caroline off the floor and onto his shoulders, SOMEHOW carrying the deadweight of Caroline and his own up into the air, as Caroline is now in a very precarious situation on top of Joso’s shoulder’s in a fireman’s carry position!
Jake Mercer: And what is Joso doing now? Joso looking over to the corner; and I THINK He’s going to try climbing the ropes with Caroline in tow – AND YES, HE IS! Joso reaching the corner as he slowly ascends up to the top rope, making sure not to miss a step as Caroline is too disoriented to put up a fight against him, Joso looking for something BIG here to seal the deal!
Stew-O: And Joso now reaching the top, still with a good grip on Caroline as he faces the ring, looking to put it all on the line – AS JOSO THROWS CAROLINE OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS , HIGH INTO THE AIR; JOSO POPPING HER UP AS HER BODY SPINS AROUND, AS NOW JOSO JUMPS OFF THE ROPE HIMSELF; LOOKING TO LATCH AROUND THE WAIST OF CAROLINE FOR AN AVALANCHE POP-UP POWERBOMB, A GAME ENDER IN THIS MATCH-UP!!!! –
Flannery McCoy: BUT WAIT! LOOK, CAROLINE IS SHIFTING WITH THE MOMENTUM AS SHE’S HOOKED AROUND THE HEAD OF JOSO, CAROLINE FLIPPING HER BODY FORWARD AND SENDING JOSO OUT OF CONTROL, CAROLINE MAKING A BUTTERFLY EFFECT WITH JOSO NOW FLIPPING WITH HIS HEAD FACING THE MAT – AS CAROLINE JUST SHIFTED THAT INTO AN AVALANCHE POISONRANA!!!!! JOSO FLYING ACROSS THE RING, LANDING HARD ON HIS SKULL AS SHE SKIDS ACROSS THE MAT, CAROLINE JUMPING OVER INTO THE COVER FOR THE WIN!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: AND A LAST SECOND KICK OUT FROM JOSO! HOW DID HE MANAGE THAT? JOSO SOMEHOW KICKING OUT OF THAT HUGE COUNTER FROM CAROLINE, AS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS UTTERLY SHOCKED! Caroline put it all into that Poisonrana, expecting that to seal the match and yet Joso kicking out, not saying die! But you have to think, landing on his skull like that? SURELY sapped out the energy from Joso, with Caroline’s offense notably being the fact she’s targeted his head all night, it’s clear that she’s working off of Scott’s previous work, and how long can Joso evade the inevitable?
Flannery McCoy: No clue, Jake; but you have to assume the gas is emptying out the tank of Joso, with Caroline now beginning to get to her feet, still shaken up from the previous offense Joso had laid out onto her, but Caroline clearly ready to put an end to things for good, as she beckons Joso to get up to his feet now, Joso beginning to stir as he uses the top rope to leverage himself into a vertical position, Joso looking to be in a BAD position here, reaching his feet; spinning right towards Caroline –
Stew-O: AND CAROLINE SENDING A KICK TO JOSO’S GUT, LATCHING ONTO HIS HEAD AS SHE LOOKS TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH, ‘ A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE’, THE HEADLOCK DRIVER CAROLINE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH…
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO PUSHING CAROLINE OFF! JOSO MUSTERING THE STRENGTH TO GET CAROLINE OFF OF HER, AS NOW CAROLINE IS SENT BACK, LOSING HER MOMENTUM WITH JOSO RUNNING FORWARD; LOOKING TO STEAMROLL THROUGH CAROLINE WITH A BIG BOOT –
Flannery McCoy: AND CAROLINE EVADES ONCE MORE! CAROLINE DUCKiNG THE BOOT AS JOSO TRIES TO REBOUND TOWARDS CAROLINE BEFORE SHE COULD REACT – RECOIL!!! CAROLINE WITH A RECOIL ONTO JOSO, SENDING HIS ARMS FLAILING INTO THE AIR; JOSO CLEARLY OFF BALANCE…
Stew-O: AND CAROLINE NOW LOOKING AGAIN FOR HER HEADLOCK DRIVER, KICKING JOSO IN THE GUT, LATCHING AN ARM AROUND HIS SKULL, ‘ A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE’…. CONNECTS! CAROLINE PLANTS JOSO DOWN, AND WITH THE COVER SHE LOOKS TO WIN THIS MATCH!!!!
OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
….
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE NEW BREED CHAMPION…. CARRROOOOLINNNEEEE!!!!
( ‘Complete Collapse’ blasts through the speakers as a mix of cheers and boos levy out through the crowd, with Caroline amassing a win tonight over Joso, Caroline holding her head as the referee helps her up, raising her hand before Caroline quickly snatches it back, walking over to her corner, pulling her New Breed Championship into her arms as she raises it high in the air, giving a true champion worthy performance tonight as Caroline begins to celebrate in the ring, with Joso rolling to the outside, medical staffers beginning to check on him. )
Stew-O: And what an effort from Joso, but at the end of the day? He was fighting a losing battle against an extremely tough opponent, and he bit off more than he could chew. You could blame it on Scott Diamond, but Joso was too brave of a soul to bow out of this match, and unfortunately tonight that cost him a loss.
Jake Mercer: You can’t blame Joso for wanting to perform, and even with an injury moments before this match? He did. He came out here and put on a show that Caroline happened to steal from him; to put credit on the win itself for our New Breed Champion, she showed up and showed out to win tonight, Bravo!
( The camera slowly faded from the ring, all the way to the back which showed a very happy Scott Diamond staring at the monitor, seeing Joso on the ground as he began to chuckle to himself; his plan working out perfectly as he shook his head, walking away from the monitor as the screen faded to black. )
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage with the main event being Drake King and Alex Myers facing each other in a Lobster Deathmatch.)
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki plays through the arena as Showdown’s own Drake Armstrong walks out onto stage, negativity pouring down across the arena).
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN INTERBRAND SINGLES DIVISION MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!! INTRODUCING FIRST, FIGHTING OUT OF SCARSDALE, NEW YORK!!! HE IS ‘THE FUTURE’… SHOWDOWN’S DRAAAKEEEEE ARMMMSTROOONNNGGGGG!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Oh my god, finally a good Drake– I mean wowzaroo! Whippy yay! Drake Armstrong is here from Showdown, and tonight he will be taking on Axel Graves! Absolutely meant nothing else, so moving along.
Stew-O: You need help.
Flannery McCoy: Uh. Anyhow. Drake Armstrong is here tonight, making an appearance on Dynasty! One of the brightest signings I have seen in a while, Drake Armstrong has it all and cousins easily become a huge big time player in Elite Answers Wrestling for years to come. Let’s see how he fairs here in this match.
(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks takes over to a much lighter and positive reaction, as Axel Graves makes his way out onto stage, being followed by Nash Haynes. The crowd takes in the big man as he begins to walk down the ramp).
Stephie Love: AND NEXT, INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!!! FIGHTING OUT OF BEARCREEK, MONTANA!!! HE IS THE ‘BIG SKY BADASS’… AXXEEELLLL GRRAAAAAVVVEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And now it’s Axel Graves making his way to the ring! We have seen what such a big man is capable of in past weeks, and either through a win or loss, he never fails to impress when it comes down to doing what is needed in that squared circle.
Jake Mercer: Axel, yet another huge up and coming star too, don’t forget that. He and Drake have a lot to gain here today, and this match can certainly help us see what each new breed has in store for upcoming battles.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go! Showdown’s Drake Armstrong has come here to face off against Axel Graves, and they meet in the center of the ring before locking up! Both men look to fight for control, and it seems that it is going to be Armstrong who gets the early advantage, pulling Axel into a headlock, as he pulls him over into a side headlock takeover, and Axel goes down, and Drake continues to wrench the headlock in tighter, keeping Axel grounded early on in this match.
Flannery McCoy: But Axel Graves is able to slip his way out of the headlock, and he is able to take Drake by the arm, looking to lock him into an armbar, but Drake Armstrong is able to slide out of it, and he climbs up to his feet. Axel quickly gets back up, and he catches Drake with a huge uppercut, sending him into the ropes, and Drake drops Axel with a big boot right to the face, before quickly dropping down and going for the early cover to end this match, as Axel might be out of it!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: But Axel Graves is able to kick out with ease! Drake quickly gets back to his feet, grabbing Axel by the wrist as he locks it, and irish whips him into the ropes but Axel takes Drake down with a shoulder block! Drake goes down, as Axel runs the ropes, but Drake is able to slip out of the way, forcing Axel off the opposite side of the ropes and Drake catches Axel with a huge armdrag, but Axel was able to roll through it and he stabs his elbow right into Drake’s chest!
Stew-O: Axel Graves quickly drags Drake Armstrong back up to his feet, as he lifts him into the air, and Axel Graves drops Drake Armstrong with a huge vertical suplex, and Drake may be out of it right now! You can tell that Axel is determined here tonight, as he quickly runs off the ropes, and he drops his knee right down onto Drake’s skull, and Drake Armstrong may not be in the best of positions right now in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Axel Graves get backs up to his feet and he drags Drake Armstrong back up as well by the hair, and it looks like Axel is going to put an end to this match early on here, but Drake is able to fight out of it, throwing Axel away with a back body drop! Axel goes down favoring his spine as Drake stumbles into the ropes, Axel quickly gets back to his feet as he runs at Drake, but Drake captures him, lifting him into the air and dropping him with a flatliner onto the ropes!
Jake Mercer: Axel falls down to the mat below, as Drake quickly grabs him by the hair and he lifts him back up to his feet, pulling him to the middle of the ring, as Axel tries to fight out of his grip, but Drake has it in tight, and he lifts him into the air! DRAKE ARMSTRONG DROPS AXEL GRAVES WITH ‘NATURAL TALENT!!!’ THE BRIDGING HALF-NELSON HALF-CHICKENWING SUPLEX, AND DRAKE HOLDS ONTO THE BRIDGE, KEEPING THE COVER! DRAKE MAY WIN HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But Axel Graves is able to kick out just in time! Drake Armstrong grabs the big man by the hair and looks to pull him up to his feet, but it’s Axel with a huge chop to the chest! And now a boot to the chest as well that sends The Future into the ropes. Drake is able to hold on however, now allowing himself to bounce back towards Axel Graves.
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong now shoots wildly with a strike, but Axel ducks.. AND AXEL GRAVES IS ABLE TO LIFT DRAKE ARMSTRONG ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE AIR BY HIS STOMACH, THEN PLANTING HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! What a slam to the mat by Axel Graves! However, it seems like Axel will have to do much more than that in order to keep Drake Armstrong down, as Drake uses the boot and attire of Axel Graves to pick himself up to a knee… AND HE SLAPS AXEL GRAVES RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT?? Axel seems to be nothing but angry as he grabs the throat of Drake–
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE RAKES THE EYES!!! He is able to fall right back down onto his feet as Axel turns away and holds onto his eyes.. CHOP BLOCK BY DRAKE BRINGS AXEL DOWN TO A KNEE!!! AND NOW A DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE NECK!!! DRAKE IS FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS AS HE NOW RUNS THE ROPES AND RUSHED RIGHT BACK TOWARDS AXEL GRAVES–
Stew-O: BUT AXEL POPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND SHOULDER BLOCKS THE HECK OUT OF DRAKE!!! HE GOT TURNED ABSOLUTELY INSIDE OUT!!! Drake Armstrong is close enough to the ropes though, and uses this to his advantage as he pulls himself back up and turns around to face his opponent once more. Axel Graves charges in… But Drake pulls down the top rope, causing Axel to tumble onto the apron!
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong now throws the arm of Axel over his neck, looking to perhaps hit a Vertical Suplex into the ring.. but it seems like he can’t lift him up– WAIT!!! AXEL GRAVES IS ABLE TO LIFT UP DRAKE ARMSTRONG INSTEAD AS HE THROWS HIM INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING FROM THE APRON!!! Drake Armstrong immediately staggers to his feet as he holds his back, Axel getting back into the ring as well…
Jake Mercer: AXEL GRAVES GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO DRAKE, BUT DRAKE DUCKS!!! THE TWO MEN BOTH RUN THE ROPES, BUT IT IS DRAKE ARMSTRONG WHO GETS CAUGHT WITH A SPINNEEE BUSSTERRR!!! AXEL GRAVES HAS THE ADVANTAGE ONCE MORE!!! COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT!!! DRAKE IS ABLE TO THROW THE SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT AND CAPTURE AXEL GRAVES INTO A ROLLUP OF SORTS…
OOONNN–
Stew-O: But Axel is able to get out before a one count can even truly be started. Both new breeds get back up to their feet, AND DRAKE WITH A LIFTING KNEE TO THE GUT OF THE BIG SKY BADASS!!! Axel Graves holds his gut in pain, hunching over, as Drake Armstrong drops onto his back and uppercuts–
Jake Mercer: Uh oh! Axel was able to capture the hand of Drake Armstrong before the uppercut could connect, but Drake quickly changes up what he was doing as he clips Axel Graves in the side with a kick! Drake Armstrong gets back up to his feet, AND NOW HE LANDS AN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS AXEL GRAVES INTO THE CORNER!!! Axel Graves seems to be dazed here as Drake Armstrong rushes in…
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE ISN’T!!! AXEL GRAVES JUST CAUGHT DRAKE ARMSTRONG ON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE HOLDS THE FUTURE IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY… AND HE RUNS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING BEFORE DROPPING DRAKE WITH A SAMOAN DROP!!! THE CROWD ECHOES IN CHEERS!!! Drake Armstrong arches his back in pain as Axel Graves gets right back up to his feet, the crowd in full support! And now Axel Graves begins stomping into The Future, literally!
Stew-O: Axel Graves now pulls Drake Armstrong in the middle of the ring… AND OH MY GOD!!! AXEL JUST LANDED A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO DRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! THE COVER AS WELL, IT’S OVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
THHHRRRR—
Jake Mercer: DRAKE ARMSTRONG STAYS ALIVE, AND HE DOES SO BY UPPERCUTTING AXEL IN THE JAW WHILST ROLLING HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT!!! TALK ABOUT EFFECTIVE!!! But I think that just pissed off Axel Graves even more than anything. Axel Graves grabs the hair of Drake Armstrong now and brings him back up to his feet, and Axel slaps him across the face! Payback from before! AND NOW AXEL JUMPS OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE ONCE AGAIN–
Stew-O: AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH AN ELBOW!!! AND ELBOW TO THE SPINE OF AXEL GRAVES!!! Axel falls right back down to the canvas as he holds his back, trying everything in his power to stand… AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH A SUDDEN NECKBREAKER!!! Drake has got the match back in his favor, the crowd shifting from yays to no’s in the snap of one’s fingers…. Oh wow. And now Drake spits on a downed Axel. That’s just awful.
Flannery McCoy: Despicable act by Drake as he pulls Axel up to a single knee.. And Axel Graves goes for a punch however! But Drake Armstrong simply steps to the side, AND NOW A HUUGGEE SIDE-KICK TO THE CHEST!!! Axel Graves’ chest is going to look like raw meat at this point.. Drake Armstrong now pulling the big fella up to his feet completely–
Jake Mercer: WOAH, WHAT?! AS DRAKE BROUGHT AXEL UP TO HIS FEET, AXEL WAS ABLE TO SCOOP HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!!! WHAT SWIFTNESS BY AXEL AS HE HAS DRAKE IN MUSCLE BUSTER POSITION… AND HE DROPS HIM WITH ‘THE RIDE’!!! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! Drake Armstrong holds onto the back of his head…
Stew-O: And now Axel Graves lifts up Drake once more… AND AXEL HITS A SHOUTEN!!! HE DROPS DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH A HUGE ‘406’ AND INSTANTLY COVERS HIM!!! WHAT A SHOT!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
THHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: WHAT. A. MATCH.
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH… AXXEELLLLLL GRAAAVEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks plays once more as the crowd cheers Axel Graves’ win, Nash Haynes getting into the ring in order to raise his big guy’s hand.)
Stew-O: Incredible action here tonight from two major upstate. Axel Graves was able to walk home with the win today, but that’s not to discredit Drake Armstrong who no doubt showed what he was worth in this Interbrand outing!
Flannery McCoy: Amazing job to both Elitists, and props where it’s due to both men. Congratulations on Axel for the win, and Drake should not be disappointed one bit!
( Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the backstage area, with the camera settling on Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort. What a night it has been so far, and we still have so much to come! Michael is dressed in a three-piece suit and a microphone resides in his hands. Michael looking rather dapper in his usual suit, The personification of professionalism, Michael raises the microphone to his lips and begins to address the millions watching across the globe. )
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome at this time… Sienna Jade.
( Within an instant, the crowd begins to heavily boo the newly announced Sienna Jade,entirely like clockwork, instinctive for the fans to instantly show their soured hate to Sienna as she walks into view. Sienna wearing a tight plain white tee, covered by a slick black leather jacket over top, with her bottoms hinted by ripped jeans and high heels – an outfit she’s proven to be her signature for these backstage segments, though a new part of her look was the clear frown she wore on her face, Sienna Jade clearly not in the best of moods.. )
Michael Belfort: Sienna,thank you so much for this time it is highly appreciated; now I know these past few weeks –
Sienna Jade: You know what about these past few weeks, Michael?
( Sienna shoots at him, raising an eyebrow rather curious as Michael shrinks a bit, clearly not expecting Jade to interrupt him mid-sentence as he felt like it’d be best not to say anything in hopes he doesn’t make the situation worse for himself. )
Sienna Jade: Seriously Michael, what do YOU know about MY last few weeks, Mr. Belfort? Because I don’t think anyone can sympathize with Sienna Jade unless their name IS Sienna Jade. You can only assume what stress I’ve been under, you can only PREDICT how I am mentally after weeks of torment that I am undeserving of. Michael, remind me, what was I in this company less than a month ago?
Michael Belfort: … EAW Universal Women’s Champion? :lupe:
Sienna Jade: Correct. And you wanna know something? It seems like that knowledge has been sapped out of everyone else’s mind, because it seems like the narrative here is that now Sienna Jade is just any other Elitist in the locker room because at King of Elite? Things didn’t go my way; and that’s fine. Because being a generational talent, being a LEADER? I need to have the ability to take my situation and move with it, and not just move with it, but become BETTER. That has been the single thing I have been trying to do Michael, move on and become better – I could have easily pouted, complained, and sobbed over losing to Bethany Blue like so many other Elitist’s would, but instead? Instead I began charting a new path to glory, and with this path that I thought would be EASY simply off of the respect that I SHOULD have? I am disappointed with the disrespect dished my way.
( Sienna said, pursing her lips in anger and she rolled her eyes; clearly reflecting over how her month has gone, with Michael Belfort nodding in acknowledgment. )
Michael Belfort: I am sorry to hear that, Sienna.
Sienna Jade: You should be sorry, Michael. Everyone should be apologetic because this reception I am getting is just not suited for the Elitist, let alone PERSON, that I am. I have made moments that would fill CAREERS of others all in the time frame of a month after my return and so forth. I have charted waters as champion and took the crown off the top of it’s former owner to forge my own kingdom – and now what? Now that I don’t have a title to flaunt, I’m suddenly lesser than? Invisible? A joke? These Elitist’s around me… They want to forget who Sienna Jade is and laugh at me like I have fallen off, which shows that these newbies haven’t been doing much studying and have kept themselves uneducated – even my own prodigy, my own student, wants to act out of line for her posse? I never thought I’d see the day but here we are now.
Sienna Jade: But if there was a time for me to retract my words, take away my statements about what started ALL of this? My stance on Empress of Elite? I would double down on skipping it. Because even with the harassment I’ve gotten for speaking the truth I will not be silenced by anybody, and if anything my point has been further proven by the events forming today. Madison Kaline, needing to side with the newest Empress of Elite after losing any and all momentum from her own career – and Serenity Valdez desperately needing more and more recruits to make her faction garner star power by the second because of how lackluster her members are, especially the Neapolitan haired one – if winning such a prestigious tournament is only meant to give make you look like a coward who can’t walk around alone; only allowing you to talk when someone else is there to jump in when things go south? My case is rested. I mean the darn tournament indirectly busted MY title reign, so what more motivation do I need to expose all these Empress of Elite ‘busts’ roaming the halls with a chip on their shoulder when they have just been leased to a cursed career which will end up in RUINS.
Sienna Jade: I’ve done it with Astraea Jordan. I’ve done it with Madison Kaline a PLETHORA of times – including another tally again TONIGHT. And if Serenity wants to try so hard in lowering my standards I had so highly for her and join the list of Empress of Elite scum that I’ve taken down a peg? Tell her to name a time and a place, and I will very gladly keep my streak up of being right in the face of adversity and CONTINUING forth dimming the light of what was once a bright star.
Sienna Jade: I mean, my impact on these girls is just undeniable – Madison Kaline and Serenity Valdez hated each other’s guts, and now out of the mutual hatred for Sienna Jade, they are Queen Bee buddies? That’s all the proof I need, to try and tear down Sienna Jade, enemies will turn besties and group up together for a numbers advantage that risks any good reputation they might’ve held. It shows how much power I have over them, how they need to stack up their roster for a SHOT at proving me wrong; but even so? They don’t have what it takes to silence me, nor will they ever; because the teacher will always beat the students, and now? You can say class is in session –
???: Does this ever get boring to you?
( With Sienna’s back turned, she could already easily identify the voice interrupting her which caused Sienna’s demeanor to change int a more annoyed status than previous; Sienna biting her cheek as she looked up, collecting herself for a moment, before spinning around to meet face to face with none other than Serenity Valdez. )
Serenity Valdez: I mean going on and on and on… Saying remotely nothing? You have a match to be preparing for but you’re here , running your mouth, speaking down on my name? Sienna, Sienna, Sienna… I thought you were smart! I thought you were wise, but CLEARLY I was mistaken.
Sienna Jade: Me? Wasting my time? Serenity, you don’t even HAVE a match tonight, and instead of taking the night off you’re coming out to the Main Event to watch ME. Sounds hypocritical, don’t you think? See, I’m out here promoting my match tonight against Madison Kaline in the main event, and instead of allowing me to do so in peace you want to interrupt me AGAIN? I expected so much more from you Serenity, and this is so disa-
Serenity Valdez: Disappointing? Is this Disappointing to you Sienna? You’ve thrown that word too much for my liking surrounding my name, and I think this is a perfect time to put an end to that. I see why you could be hurt Madison Kaline wasn’t having your back after realizing that she has a BETTER mentor at hand, teaching her things YOU never could’ve – but to take out your anger with talking down onto me? Is the dumbest play you could’ve pulled out.
Sienna Jade: … Are you serious? Seriously, is this some sort of joke? YOU took offense to something that I said in vague correlation to you and have been riding with it all the way to this point, bringing us here in the first place! You being the attention seeker has forced me to talk about your name, and now, now that I have you’re upset? You know, NOW I see why they keep calling you Delusional around here; because if anything, you’ve instigated this; and I’ve simply replied.
Serenity Valdez: Yeah yeah yeah, we can keep going around in circles with the ‘whodunnit’ of who caused what – but at the end of the day? YOU sparked up and said my career would be a fluke soon enough whether you meant it or not, and noticeably enough? I didn’t need back-up to come face to face with you right now, ergo, I am not scared of you. I do not RESPECT you anymore because you don’t DESERVE my respect like you used to. But one thing I can respect is the fact that you have the courage to think you can TOPPLE the new Empress of Elite – what is it that you said? Anytime, Anyplace? Well, I was thinking… And what about right here, and right now?
( Serenity said, stepping up closer to Sienna as they meet nose to nose, Sienna not backing down at all, though clearly a little calmer in demeanor as she wasn’t looking for a fight at the moment. )
Sienna Jade: Ahh, Serenity – use your head, will ya’? Why would I fight you now when I have a Main Event match coming up soon enough? I’m hospitable but not stupid, so brawling with you now would be entirely worthless- but you know what? Seeing as you were intrigued by my challenge I threw down, and seeing how you CLEARLY hit your head a tad too many times during your tournament run? I’ll fight you, Serenity – not tonight. But checking my schedule? I’m free at Operation: Doomsday, of course, if you’re not too much of a coward to face me one on one with my full attention?
( Serenity smirked for a moment, thinking about Sienna’s offer, before stepping up ever closer to Sienna, staring her down eye to eye. )
Serenity Valdez: You just made the biggest mistake of your return. I’ll see you in the Main Event, and after that? I’ll see you in Chicago.
( Serenity, confident in this verbal confirmation, got exactly what she wanted. Stepping out of frame away from Sienna as the two kept their eyes locked on one another, Belfort signaling to the camera man to cut it here; Sienna Jade being in frame, a focused look on her face as the scene faded to black. )
(‘The Dying Song’ by Slipknot begins to play throughout the arena as Shane Gates makes his way out to the Dynasty stage. The crowd rains down boos as Shane Gates simply brushes it off, making his way down the ramp with a straight face and focused look.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SINGLES DIVISION MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL, IN WHICH THE LOSER WILL BE FORCED TO LEAVE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING!!! FIRST!!! MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, FIGHTING OUT OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA!!! HE IS THE ‘NATURAL BORN KILLER’… SHAAANNNNEEEEEEE GAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here is my pick to win this match! Shane Gates has always had a side of aggression to him, but now he has an even larger reason to stick with that area of his, as his EAW career is on the line. He has fallen before in matches, but he doesn’t stay down for long!
Stew-O: Shane Gates has everything to both lose and gain in this match, and even if this against his former tag team partner, he won’t hold anything back in the slightest. Gates is destined for certain glory in due time, and this could very well propel him into that stratosphere.
(‘Came Out Swinging’ by The Wonder Years then takes over as Shane Gates reaches the ring, the arena boos being instantly replaced by cheers and joyous crowd approval. Nick Hart comes out through the curtain, looking as serious as could be, as he makes his way down the ramp.
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT, FIGHTING OUT OF PORTLAND, OREGON!!! HE IS THE ‘MAN OF ONE THOUSAND PINS’… NIIIICCCKK HAAAAAAARRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And now here is the far better loved Nick Hart, who I personally see waking away with the victory today. All his career he has been pushed down and ignored as simply a filler Elitist here on the roster, and there’s no doubt that that will fuel Nick Hart’s determination here.
Jake Mercer: Well I guess we will have to see, Flannery, as Nick Hart and Shane Gates are in their respective corners, ready to start this battle! Let’s see which absolute bum of a LOSER will be forced to walk away from EAW!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this loser leaves match is underway, and Nick Hart runs straight at Shane Gates and he starts to connect with lefts and rights! Nick Hart is a man possessed right now and it is clear as day, as he grabs Shane, before throwing him with a snapmare, and he runs ropes, looking for a huge sliding elbow, BUT SHANE GATES GETS RIGHT UP TO HIS FEET FLIPPING NICK INSIDE OUT WITH A BIG LARIAT!
Flannery McCoy: Just like that Nick Hart is down, and he might already be out of it as Shane quickly picks Nick back to his feet, and another huge lariat and Nick Hart is completely out of it. Shane is now just going to take his sweet ol time trying to dismantle Nick Hart, as Shane grabs Nick by the head and he throws him right across the whole ring!
Jake Mercer: Nick is slowly crawling back up to his feet and leans up against the ropes, as he tries to get away as fast as possible, falling into the corner, but he can’t even get away as Shane Gates runs straight at him and drops him with a huge forearm smash into the corner! Nick falls down into a seated position, as Shane runs off the ropes, before booting Nick right into the turnbuckle even more, and Nick has barely been able to get into this match.
Stew-O: Shane drags him back up to his feet, and Nick is starting to fight back, catching Shane with a huge strike right to the jaw! That forces Shane back as Nick pulls himself up and gets his standing, before running at Shane and catching him with a huge dropkick! That didn’t drop Gates however, but Nick isn’t going to stop as he quickly scrambles up to his feet, and he runs the ropes, AND NICK HART GOES FOR THE SPEAR-
Flannery McCoy: SHAME GATES DROPS HIM WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT, AND NICK GOES DOWN! Shane quickly drags Nick back to his feet, and can this be the ending already? It can’t end this way! Shane quickly lifts Nick up into the air, AND SHANE GATES NAILS THE ‘DARKNESS BELOW!!!’ THE BURNING HAMMER, AND SHANE GOES INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; SHANEEEE GATESSSS!!!!!!!!!!
(‘The Dying Song’ begins to play throughout the speakers once more as Shane Gates would get back to his feet with a sick smile on his face. He shoves Nick Hart away, before climbing up to the middle rope and beginning to celebrate his victory.)
Stew-O: WOW!!! I did not expect for the match to go the way that it did, but… Nick Hart is gone from Elite Answers Wrestling! These two both went into this match looking to destroy each other, and in the end, it was Shane Gates who picked up the win, and he was able to do it in dominating fashion!
(Shane Gates would be standing on the middle turnbuckle, celebrating his victory, as Nick Hart is on the outside seated against the barricade, resting his bruises, while in utter shock that his EAW career is over long before it could even begin. Shane, on the other hand, seems satisfied, proud of his work, proud of what he put his former partner through, as he is back to doing what he does best; being a Natural Born Killer. He metaphorically “killed” Nick Hart, the one EAW audiences know. He “killed” his career, and now, he feels that serotonin. Shane Gates would step down off the turnbuckles, as he heads to the center of the ring, staring down the hardcam.)
Stew-O: I don’t even think Nick has processed what just happened, on the outside he’s sitting there in disbelief, and I don’t blame him. I’m not sure how I’d feel if this happened to me, if I suddenly lost my job, one I fought for, and had no idea what else to do. However, this was a sanctioned match, he knew what he was getting into, and thus we can only congratulate Shane Gates for his quickly-fought victory here tonight on Dynasty-
(Shane Gates would pose down the hardcam, as the boos slowly begin to dim, the crowd expects the show to go elsewhere, however, a large portion of cheers would be heard in response. Shane doesn’t seem to hear it, however, everyone else would…)
Flannery McCoy: WHOA, WHOA, WHAT’S THIS?
Jake Mercer: BEHIND SHANE, BEHIND SHANE!
(Suddenly, we would see the ropes shake, as Shane Gates turned around 180 degrees…)
Stew-O: WHOA, A RUNNING LARIAT TO SHANE GATES’ CHEST, MAKING RIPPLES IN HIS BODY… AS JAY STANDS UP! JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST TOOK SHANE OUT OF IT WITH A FLESH-POUNDING LARIAT!
Jake Mercer: SHANE FALLS BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON ISN’T DONE HERE! SHANE STUMBLES FORWARD, DREARY, MORE THAN LIKELY STUNNED, AS JAY SPRINTS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE ROCKET KICK RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF SHANE, KNOCKING HIM DOWN!
(As the rocket kick connects, the ringside crew would repeatedly ring the bell in order to gain the attention of the security crew.)
Flannery McCoy: SHANE HITS THE MAT, BUT JAY IS NOT DONE! HE KNEELS OVER SHANE, GRABBING HIM BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BEFORE DRILLING INTO HIM WITH REPEATED FOREARM SHOTS OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER; SHANE GATES IS OUT OF IT! REPEATED BLOWS TO THE HEAD LIKE THAT IS NOT GOING TO DO HIM ANY JUSTICE, BUT I DON’T THINK WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN NEXT WILL DO THAT EITHER! JAY ISN’T JUST SATISFIED WITH FOREARMS, HE’S GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Stew-O: JAY JERRY JOHNSON STOPS POUNDING DOWN ON SHANE GATES, STANDING UP BACK TO A STANDING BASE, BEFORE ROLLING SHANE ONTO HIS STOMACH! HE LOOKS TO DO MORE DAMAGE AS HE GRABS SHANE BY THE JAW AND LIFTS HIM UP ONTO HIS KNEES… BEFORE HOOKING HIS HEAD AND LOCKING HIM IN THE PERUVIAN NECKTIE! ‘JERRY SPECIAL ‘99’ IS LOCKED IN, AND HE BEGINS TO CHOKE OUT SHANE!
(Jay Jerry Johnson would keep Shane Gates in the hold for just a few more seconds, before eventually, Shane passes out. Jay lets him go after this, he isn’t a bad enough person to keep him held in it after he’s clearly out, however that certainly didn’t stop him from attacking Shane in the first place. Jay stands up once more, looking down at Shane Gates’ prone, unconscious body, as he takes deep breaths. Slowly, he would walk over to the South-West corner of the ring, bending down to pick up an EAW-branded microphone.)
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson has just laid out Shane Gates, and now, he’s looking to grab a microphone. It seems that this wasn’t a random act of violence, it seems that Jay Jerry Johnson has something to say to the EAW audience that was actually egging him on during this attack!
(Jay Jerry Johnson stands in the center of the ring, as he raises the microphone.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I have one thing to say and I don’t want anyone to be ignorant and not listen, because honestly, it is something I have been waiting to get off my chest. I usually don’t bring myself to this level. Usually, I keep myself suppressed, trying to act accordingly, sure as hell not acting like this. I’ve always tried to let myself be the bigger man, and settle whatever grievances I have in the ring. But as far as this goes, I can’t keep suppressing what I’m feeling anymore. I can’t keep bottling it up and telling myself if I just work harder it’ll all be fine, I HAVE to come out here and make a statement, or else who will for me? I know nobody is gonna come down here and cape for Jay Jerry Johnson, do what I just did FOR me, I know that I have to do it myself, and so I did. I made a statement, I sent a message, I want everybody to be reminded of one simple fact that is never going to be forgotten about ever again. That fact is; Jay Jerry Johnson is tired of sitting back on his hands and waiting. Jay Jerry Johnson is TAKING.
(The confused crowd would continue listening, eagerly waiting to hear what more he has to say.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: You would think that because I wrestled at the highest level possible heading into Road To Redemption that I’d get my due, I wouldn’t be forced to keep on working, that I’d get some sort of reward for all the hard work, just as Amir did, just as Bronson did, just as PJ is now getting, but it just reinforced the fact that this business is ever moving, and it will keep on moving. If you can’t move with it, you will be left in the dust, and as I watch Nick Hart walk up that ramp with his head in his hands, I now know up close and personal what it’s like to not move WITH the industry. That… that is never going to be me. Walking up knowing it’s all over, I cannot see that happening to me, I refuse it. I am going to continue moving with the industry, and people like Shane are exactly what is going to happen when I do what I simply have to. I didn’t do this because I hate HIM, I didn’t do this because I wanted him out, I did this out of the sheer necessity that I put this place on notice.
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m no longer sitting back, and as a matter of fact, I’m never going to sit back again. I’m not going to sit here with the expectations that I will be given the opportunities that I’ve worked so hard to get, because I understand that isn’t the right way to do things. I don’t think anybody would tune in to see Jay Jerry Johnson do that, and wonder why he’s not getting his chance to shine. I think they’re just waiting for me to seize the moment that I’ve been dreaming of ever since I signed the dotted line, and that moment is NOW. Jay Jerry Johnson is not ending this year without gold around his waist, without a spot in his trophy case being filled up, I’m taking control of my own opportunity and I am landing it. This is what I’ve been waiting for. I didn’t want to come out here and brutalize Shane, but honestly, I just had to. I don’t care anymore about who I have to run through and who I don’t have to run through, I will run through anyone and everyone as long as it means that I get to where I need to be, and Shane was an example of that.
(Jay Jerry Johnson would walk over to Shane, and squat down next to him. He shakes his head, before looking back up at the stage.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Tyrone Montgomery. The entire time, I have been speaking directly to you. I’m not sure if you’ll appreciate this or not, I am very sorry if I inconvenienced you at all, but this is all about me here, so I guess we don’t get everything our way. I am not just putting this roster on notice, I am putting you on notice. I KNOW you’ve noticed all the hard work that I have put in, all of the victories I’ve acclaimed this season, all of the moments I’ve had where I’ve shown I can hang with the best. Whether you, or I like this or not; I’m expecting something to happen soon, before I make it happen myself, because I am about to battle with every fiber in my being just to get what I have been waiting for this entire time. I’m taking my moment. I’m acquiring my moment. And Tyrone, you are going to give me my moment. That’s all. This could have gone worse, but that’s not the person I am. I just wanted to let YOU know that this is changing, I am changing, and I am not going to stop changing until I finally, successfully, crown my name as the best damn thing going.
(Jay Jerry Johnson would drop the mic beside Shane Gates, as he heads to the turnbuckles himself. Jay would stand on them, and pose, as the camera showcases Jay in the center, and Shane in the background, just now coming to his senses as he leans against the bottom rope. Jay exits the ring, and walks up the ramp, as the camera cuts between him and Shane. Jay appears confident, with a swagger, while Shane Gates is confused, blinking rapidly, not knowing what happened. Eventually, the camera would fade elsewhere…)
(Eventually, the Dynasty broadcast would fade back into view as we are met with a long shot of the stage. The Dynasty theme would be blaring through the speaker system, as to keep the audience entertained while the commercials were rolling for the people at home, and of course to keep our Elitists well prepared for their matchups. The camera would slowly fade over to the titantron, before eventually, we fade into the backstage area, as we see an EAW-branded curtain, alongside the many other sponsors of the show, before slowly slipping into shot we see Korey Gaines, his head still a little patched up, but hardly noticeable. He stands in the center frame, dressed in his ring gear, as he speaks directly into the camera right in front of him.)
Korey Gaines: You know, I feel like this has got to be the first time in a very long time I’ve stepped into a Dynasty arena. And no matter how many schmucks must hate it, and how many Korey Gaines fans love it, the only thing that matters is; I am winning. I wasn’t looking to kick off my reunion with Elite Answers Wrestling just suffering losses, that’s exactly why I went out of my way to do what I did with Caroline. But I guess who didn’t really appreciate that. Oh well. Because tonight, I guess she’s forced to endure through a preview, on her home brand. Because, in essence, that is exactly what my matchup with Jamie Cross is. Something to get the muscles going, something to tune me back up to full throttle, it’s a warm up match, and honestly, what better way to get that sort of match than someone like Jamie Cross? She’s just so familiar… the style, the friendliness, the innocence. She’s so cute she almost reminds me of a young Caroline😩!!! There’s no better way to get me prepared for a woman like Caroline, than this very match. There is no doubt about it.
(Portions of the audience would let out a wave of boos, perhaps weirded out by Korey’s comments, however he doesn’t seem to mind… maybe because he can’t hear them. Korey Gaines slicks his hand through his hair, as a smirk plastered across his face, and before long he would turn and look directly back down the camera lens as he begins to talk to the audience once more.)
Korey Gaines: I mean, in what way is this match NOT a warm up? Let’s compare the two. Caroline’s past is vastly similar to Jamie Cross. Two innocent, cute little chicks who are just so passionate about the sport that they’re in. Two beautiful women that are ultimately just not cut out for the edge and grit that this sport gives off. Tonight, I will be giving Caroline a peek into her past. I will be reminding her of what it was like when she was this kind of competitor. Call it… shock therapy. I will introduce her to the same kind of loss that turned her into this person, not as a means to get under her skin, not as a means to hurt her, but to remind her that all is well. Jamie Cross is going to take this loss on the chin and move on, and I’m sure Caroline will understand the same thing. Not only am I giving her a look into her past, after all, but her future. A three count on the mat, my hand raised high, the only difference being that when it happens between us, it’s going to be with the New Breed Championship on the line.
(Another mixed reaction ensues, perhaps a little more negative than it usually would be, as the prospect of Korey sweeping in and beating Caroline for the Championship she went through hell and back, as he receipts his feelings towards these two women, doesn’t sit well with them.)
Korey Gaines: I know that deep down inside Caroline lies there the women we are all too familiar with. I know that deep down, none of this is truly her. The industry may have changed her, but to be honest? It’s just a phase. You know, my nephew went through the same thing! He was a little frustrated with life, he was acting out. He began to wear eyeliner, he dyed his hair black, he’d listen to Nirvana shut out in his room. But stuff like that? It’s all a phase. Eventually, his life turned back around, he started to open up more, reveal that he wasn’t really expressing himself, he wanted us all to know just how hurt he was… I’m sure Caroline is the same. When I walk into that ring with her, and take that title off of her, she’ll have to realise the same thing. Eyeliner and black lipstick isn’t the real Caroline, it isn’t enough to make her this top star in the industry, and she can just be the real Caroline. Because, despite her believing this schtick is enough, there’s always going to be a man like Korey Gaines, just smarter, faster, quicker, and better to take it away.
Korey Gaines: But, allow me to reiterate, none of this is personal. I’m not here to ruin her life or make her hate this business even more! I just want what she has, and it is the New Breed Championship. Everything after that? We can explore it just a little bit more. Once we’re done beating the hell out of each other, once we’re done getting extreme with one another, we can finally bury the hatchet, and get to what really should be happening after all. I’m sure that after she’s done being the Queen of Shadows, I can treat her like a real Queen if you know what I’m saying. (Korey winks.) Caroline responded poorly last time. Caroline took it out on me. Caroline tried to make me suffer, and for that, I have to get my jab back in. I’m going to take that title away from her if it’s the last thing I do, and maybe, just maybe, I can open her eyes. If not? At least I’ll have beautiful shiny gold to decorate these Greek God abs.
(Korey Gaines tenses up and flexes his muscles just a bit, as the crowd would bo once more. Eventually, Korey Gaines would turn and walk out of frame, leaving the camera alone, lingering, before eventually it would fade back to the ringside area.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
(‘Come As You Are’ by Nirvana plays. The fans in attendance cheer, seemingly louder than the reaction in Alberta, Canada last week for this Elitist who made her debut. Eventually, the woman of the hour steps out: Jamie Cross! On the stage, she looks around and smiles. With the fans’ reaction though, she’s almost overwhelmed by the outpour of support. Jamie takes a deep breath and nods. She’s glad that they seem to acknowledge her talent after an impressive debut match, though she can’t help but be a little nervous. When she’s able to shake off the dizziness of the spotlight, she makes her way down the ramp and into the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, she is the ‘Ironwomen’… JAAAAAAAMMIIIIEEEEEE CRRROOOOOOOOOOOSSSS!!
Stew-O: And what an ovation here tonight for Jamie Cross who impressed a lot of people in her first match here in EAW. She made her debut last week, defeating Nick Hart. She was able to get the ball rolling, and now she has the momentum, as well as the support of the fans, on her side.
Jake Mercer: She is little, but mighty. Just a tad naive in some ways too, but hey, the results speak for themselves. She is able to walk into this bout with a win already underneath her belt, but she shows an insane amount of potential. I guess tolling away on the indies for four years and working on her craft has helped her a lot. Now, she’s in EAW, ready to prove her mettle against some of the very best in this entire sport.
Flannery McCoy: She has a lot of heart and passion. She has true, genuine love for this sport. And sure, she may not have a larger-than-life personality, but her dedication to this profession as well as just being herself has already garnered her a steady amount of fans as we can here tonight! In a land with so many loud, clashing personalities, Jamie Cross feels like a breath of fresh air. She isn’t here to be provocative or a provocateur. She’s just a young woman who likes to wrestle, and with a match higher up on the card compared to the opening bout last week for her debut, that means that even more eyes will be on her. Hopefully, she won’t let the added attention get to her.
(Jamie slides into the ring, making her way to the ropes. She stands up on the middle and waves to the fans, who cheer her on. Her smile never fades. Not even as she hops off and heads to her corner to warm up. Bouncing back and forth of her feet, she rolls her wrists, letting out one last deep breath. Then, ‘Come As You Are’ fades and ‘What’s Up Danger’ by Blackway & Black Caviar hits.)
Stew-O: Speaking of provocateur…
(Korey Gaines shows up on stage, wearing his signature smile. The young, cocky daredevil raises his arms as the fans shower him with a mixed reaction; some of whom enjoy his antics and attitude, and others who… well, don’t appreciate either of those. However, as the cameras get closer to him, the cut on the side of his head can be seen that’s been stitched up. As much as Korey is posing and making a confident stride to the ring, one has to wonder what’s going through his mind after the events of last week and his encounter with the New Breed Champion, Caroline.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent! From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, he is “The Extreme”… KOREEEEEEEEEEEEY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNEEEEEEEEEEEES!!
Flannery McCoy: Well, at least that cut of his is healing! It looked absolutely gnarly last week when Korey was fresh from Caroline’s beating and posted a picture of the wound to his social steam account. He got laid out on Voltage when he and her confronted each other last week and, well, that’s the result of their encounter.
Stew-O: Of course, as we all saw, not only did he get laid out by the champion, but he suffered a laceration from when Caroline was able to bust him open. You can still see the cut on the side of his head from the attack. He’s well enough to compete here tonight as he was given the ‘okay’ from our professional medical staff, but one has to wonder if Gaines not being entirely one hundred percent tonight may play a role in this match.
Jake Mercer: And not just in a physical sense either, Stew. He’s got to be smoldering underneath his skin right now! The New Breed champion came to his turf and laid him out, almost flat-out embarrassing him. Now, he’s back on Dynasty, and I’m sure that Korey is planning on giving Caroline more than just a note this time around – he’s going to give her plenty of receipts!
Flannery McCoy: Hopefully though, he isn’t distracted with the idea of getting back at Caroline… or distracted at all, in general. Korey has spent much time going back and forth with plenty of Elitists, be it in promos or on social media, with the likes of her, Mercer Mckay and Ronan Malosi. Jamie earlier in the week even called him out for the lack of initiative and attention towards their match, feeling as if he may be looking down at her. Both have been able to respond to each other, and Korey has highlighted her passion and heart as admirable traits. Still, I guess we’ll have to see if Gaines is truly locked into this bout or if all of the wild attacks and beefs are preventing him from really living in the moment of this match.
Stew-O: And if he isn’t, then Jamie says she intends on going all out to ensure she gets the win tonight. This is a match of two young Elitists who are looking to make some serious waves in EAW. Korey has his New Breed championship match coming up soon, but if Jamie is able to defeat him, the victory can expedite her path to greatness here in the Land of Elite!
(Korey enters the ring by hopping over the top rope. He rolls through with the somersault and stands up on one knee, hitting a pose with his arms outstretched. He gives a grin and stands up. Heading into his corner, he acknowledges Jamie with a simple nod. Jamie returns the gesture, though she has her game face completely on. The official double checks both Elitists and ensures that they’re ready. Once everything his good to go, they give the signal to start the match!)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Jake Mercer: That’s the bell! Time for this action to get underway!
Stew-O: Jamie and Korey meet in the center of the ring, quickly closing the distance between each other. Jamie shoots low for the legs, likely looking to get at them in the early goings of this match in order to prevent Korey from hitting his signature high spots. However, he blocks the attempt! He traps her head in with a classic headlock and throws her down into the mat. He gets the sidelock in. Jamie is already looking for a way out. She moves her legs up and wraps them around his head! Korey lets go, now the one on defensive. Fast in his own right, he works quickly to get into a headstand… and he kips up to his feet! Gaines gives a grin to Jamie. He certainly is feeling himself here already.
Jake Mercer: Good escape by Korey. He goes forward, but Jamie sweeps his legs! He goes down! And Jamie capitalized by shooting for a pin attempt!
ON–
Flannery McCoy: Korey bridges out! He hits the ropes and comes back, looking for a knee strike to the kneeling Jamie Cross! She leans back, avoiding the strike, and catches him up again with a pin. This time, she pulls him down with the schoolboy! Another quick-thinking maneuver by Cross as she has the shoulders down!
ON–
Stew-O: But again, Korey is able to get out with a just-as-quick kick out. Both Elitists pop up, facing each other! Korey with a roundhouse! Ducked by Jamie! She grabs the attacking leg and drops down, rolling Korey on through with her! She looks for a leg lock, but Gaines is able to roll to the side and slip out from her grasp in the knick of time. Both competitors stand up again. Forearm smash from Korey to Jamie–
Jake Mercer: Blocked! She gives him a firm chop to the chest and takes hold of his hand! She runs to the ropes while bringing him along with her. She springs up to the ropes and leaps from them, taking the air! Springboard arm drag! Korey rolls through, but quickly pops back up to his feet! He gets a gust of speed going, wasting little time to pursue his opponent!
Flannery McCoy: He runs right at her, but she takes his arm and throws him into the ropes, looking to use his momentum against him. Korey gets whipped into them, coming back on the rebound. Clothesline from Jamie… NO! Korey just cartwheeled away from her! He evades, seemingly catching Jame by surprise as her eyes widen! She runs forward, but gets hit with a knee to the gut! Now, Gaines grabs her and lifts her up. He’s going to send her down with a suplex–
Stew-O: Jamie lands on her feet! She’s right behind him! She wraps her arms around his waist and rolls back, catching him with another roll-up! Pin!
ONE–
Jake Mercer: Another swift kick out. Korey isn’t playing any games. Neither are backing down from the fast pace of this matchup so far. It’s been go-mode for the past three minutes now, and that isn’t going to slow down. Jamie comes in with a basement roundhouse, but Korey ducks underneath it! He rolls to the side and sticks his leg out! He sweeps her off of her feet! He gets up and jumps into the air! Double foot stomp!
Flannery McCoy: No! His feet meets nothing but the canvas there! Jamie rolled out of the way and she’s coming for him! Forearm smash! AND KOREY WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! BOTH ELITISTS HIT EACH OTHER IN THE FACE WITH DUELING FOREARMS! They stumble back from the impact. However, they both quickly recover, and realize that someone’s got to give here. They’re charging at each other again!
Stew-O: Clotheslnne from Korey! However, he isn’t able to hit it. Jamie catches the arm and slides underneath him, trapping his other arm as she’s behind him, back-to-back! Backslide! However, she isn’t going for the pin! She steps up and NAILS an enzuigiri onto Korey! The first offensive attack of tonight successfully lands, courtesy of Jamie Cross! She hits the ropes, getting a move on as she now has the advantage! She looks to make good use of her momentum and comes in! Snap DDT–
Jake Mercer: NO! Korey caught her! Just as she was about to send him down with the grounded snap DDT, he clung on and had her in his grasp! Korey, being the far bigger Elitist here, is able to stand up with Jamie trapped! He throws her back… RIGHT INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! He has her down! He rolls backwards and catches her with the double foot stomp! Korey goes down and hooks the leg!
ONE—
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! Still, what a great series of moves that was. Now, it’s Korey Gaines with the advantage. He gets Jamie up and sends her back down with a snap suplex! She sits up, trying to find her way back into this thing before things get too out of hand for her. However, Korey hits the ropes, and he’s on the rebound! He’s looking for another move – and he gets it! Penalty kick! Jamie clutches her chest as she rolls to the side. She gets up her knees, trying to shake off the pain.
Stew-O: She won’t have much time to do so, though. Korey approaches her. He stands her up, and now, he rings her head with a series of forearm shots! Jamie is thrown onto his shoulder. Korey stomps around, playfully flexing with his free arm as he uses the other to keep his opponent from squirming. Some fans don’t care for the behavior, however.
Jake Mercer: Ah, let the guy have some fun! Yeah, he may be a clown at times, but he has firm control right now in the early goings of this match! It won’t kill him, won’t it?
Flannery McCoy: Maybe not, but this was what Jamie was referring to when she said she felt like he didn’t take her seriously enough. This is just disrespectful! Now, the showboating ends as he looks to continue with the attack… but he doesn’t! Jamie just slipped down behind! And look! He had her unintentionally close to the ropes! She’s on the apron! Korey looks around for her and realizes what just happened! So much for having fun, huh?
Jake Mercer: … okay, yeah, that was stupid. Forget I said anything.
Stew-O: Korey goes towards her, but he gets hit with a punch! And Jamie caught him on the side where he has that cut! He stumbles back, clutching the area! That’s not good for him.
Jake Mercer: No doubt about it! Jamie is a dedicated student of the game. Aside from that cut of Korey’s being an eyesore, she likely picked up on the attack and its lingering effects on him! She gets a hold of the top rope now as Korey is in her line of sight! She springs up! Crossbody–
Flannery McCoy: SUPERKICK! OH MY GOD! KOREY GAINES JUST KICKED HER AND SHE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, DROPPING TO THE GROUND! WOW!
Stew-O: And Korey paces around, trying to recover and check on that cut. Not opened up fortunately, but unfortunately for Jamie, she just got rocked by that unsuspecting reversal! There was no way she could’ve anticipated that, let alone defend herself from Korey. She was defenseless!
Jake Mercer: High risk, high reward! …Usually, anyways. That risk didn’t pay off for her in the way she thought it would. Still, we can’t blame her for trying. She had the opening and looked to take advantage of it. It was just that Korey Gaines in that instance saw it wide open! Jamie is on the outside recovering, clutching her head. No doubt in my mind that kick rocked her. Still, I’m surprised she isn’t completely knocked out COLD! That was one heck of a shot she had to endure. Perhaps she is mighty after all!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, she sure is tough! She crawls towards the barricade and reaches up. She uses it to help herself get back on her feet. The fans are rallying behind her, lending her as much moral support as they can for someone who is quickly becoming a favorite here. She’s able to stand up, and she–
Stew-O: SUICIDE DIVE! KOREY GAINES AGAIN CATCHES HER OFF GUARD AND HE CRASHES HER INTO THAT BARRICADE! WHAT SPEED! WHAT IMPACT! WHAT PRECISION! JAMIE CROSS IS DOWN AGAIN AS KOREY GAINES GETS UP AND LETS OUT AN ADRENALINE-COURSING YELL! A mixed reaction from the fans, but wow, Korey just caught her with back-to-back high-impact moves!
Jake Mercer: He’s all warmed up now! So much so that he grabs Jamie and rolls her back into the ring! He isn’t wasting any time! He slides back in and covers her!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOO–!
Flannery McCoy: Shoulder up from Jamie! She still has some wherewithal in her to break the pin, but it’s clear she’s already hurting. She rolls onto her stomach, gathering herself. However, here comes Korey as he runs to the ropes and springs off of them… MOONSAULT! Once again, all of that weight crashes down onto her! He lands right on her back! Korey is in firm control here, and he isn’t letting up on Jamie at all.
Stew-O: And you could hear Jamie cry out as that impactful move landed on her. Korey looks pleased with himself. He gives a few stomps down onto Jamie before whipping her into the corner. He runs in and comes in with the step-up knee! He rolls forward! He comes back in with the running dropkick! Jamie is hunched over. Using his foot, he sweeps her by the legs, dropping her down into a seated position. Kick to the face! More quick, successive moves from Gaines! Jamie is laid out on the mat by the corner!
Jake Mercer: And he springs from the corner, coming back down with a corkscrew elbow drop! Impressive stuff here! Korey is keen on working fast and wearing down Jamie as much as he can in this match!
Flannery McCoy: He is as he drags her out into the center of the ring. He mounts her and starts to rain down a series of stiff forearm shots to her face! She tries to fight back, but those blows are landing, wearing her out! Korey floats over and hooks the leg, looking for another pin attempt!
ONEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO–!
Stew-O: Shoulder up! Jamie isn’t about to be down and out for good. Korey realizes this and looks over to the turnbuckle. There’s that daredevil look in his eyes as he smirks. I think we all know where this young man is headed!
Jake Mercer: Korey is looking for something big, that’s for sure! And when you deem yourself ‘The Extreme’, there’s a lot of high-risk offense that you’ve got to have in your back pocket. There’s no wasted movement on Gaines part. He makes his way towards the corner and hops up on the absolute top. Jamie is in perfect position for him as she’s still laying down! Korey is gonna go for broke here! Korey points hs fingers right down at her as he comes to a stand! He jumps up and now he’s in the air! He’s going for that shooting star press of his with the double knees! ‘OKLAHOMA SHOOTING STAR’! HE’S IS GOING TO END THINGS RIGHT HERE, AND RIGHT NOW– WAIT, WHAT?!
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE CROSS MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!! OH MY GOSH SHE WAS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD, AND GAINES MISSES HER! BUT LOOK! HE WAS ABLE TO CHANGE HIS POSITION AND HIT THE MAT WITH HIS FEET INSTEAD OF HIS KNEES! HE ROLLS FORWARD, ESCAPING SOME SERIOUS HARM HIMSELF! JUST THE PRESENCE OF MIND FROM THESE TWO ELITISTS IS INSANE!
Stew-O: Jamie was able to thwart the ‘Oklahoma Shooting Star’, but that doesn’t mean she is entirely safe yet! Korey was able to land on his feet! He spins and looks to see Cross who is seated by the corner, trying to recover! But she’s got to move! Korey is barreling forward, right towards her–
Jake Mercer: SHE DOES! SHE GETS OUT OF THE WAY! AND KOREY GAINES JUST WENT HEAD-FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST! MY GOD! DID YOU JUST HEAR THE THUD?! THE IMPACT?! THE RING?! IN JUST A SPLIT SECOND, THINGS HAVE GOTTEN BAD FOR HIM! HE’S STUCK, KNEELING IN THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: AND WITH HIS BACK TO HER, JAMIE SCRAMBLES UP! DOUBLE KNEES! BUT SHE IS DONE! SHE JUST GRABBED HOLD OF HIS FACE AND FALLS BACK, TURNING IT INTO A BACKSTABBER! OH MY GOODNESS! KOREY GAINES FLIPS BACK AS JAMIE GOES BEHIND, FLIPPING IT INTO A CROSSFACE!! KOREY IS IN TROUBLE! JAMIE HAS HIM RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HIM TO BE!
Stew-O: WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS HERE! JAMIE CROSS HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THIS MATCH, COMING BACK FROM THE OVERWHELMING OFFENSE OF KOREY GAINES JUST MOMENTS AGO! KOREY IS LOOKING FOR THE ROPES! HE’S CLAWING AND DIGGING HIS WAY TOWARDS HIM! BUT JAMIE ISN’T LETTING GO!
Jake Mercer: AND LOOK! SHE MOVES FROM THE CROSSFACE AND GETS RIGHT IN FRONT OF KOREY! KNEES TO THE HEAD! JUST GROUNDED KNEES DELIVERED OVER AND OVER AGAIN! KOREY CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF! AND NOW, SHE STANDS ON THE STOP OF HER HEAD AND GOES DOWN… BRIDGING FRONT CHANCERY! THE SKILLS OF THIS GIRL, MAN!
Flannery McCoy: IN-SANE! Jamie is just FIGHTING back here! And with each second that passes, she’s draining the energy from Korey! Not to mention that he’s still feeling the effects of Caroline’s attack last week! EVERYTHING is working in FAVOR OF JAMIE CROSS!! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF SHE MAKES HIM TAP HERE!
Stew-O: Still, Korey is showing signs of life! He’s fighting back! He’s reaching over with his arm as much as he can and PUNCHES her in the gut! Repeated strikes here out of desperation! He doesn’t want to stay in this hold for too long! Especially since he’s starting to look seriously hurt here!
Jake Mercer: And Jamie lets go! The hold is broken off! Fortunate for Korey, but you can see how much everything rocked him so quickly! He gets up to his knees and– WOW! HE GETS HIS HEAD ABSOLUTELY SPIKED BY THE BASEMENT HURRICANRANA DRIVER FROM JAMIE!! LOOK AT HOW HE JUST FLOPPED UP TO HIS FEET AND COMES CRASHING DOWN, FACE-FIRST ONTO THE MAT! That sure did have a whole lot of impact behind it! Jamie gets back and lets out a yell! She’s back in this thing!
Flannery McCoy: Korey is stirring, getting to his hands and knees… but Jamie is right over him! SCORPION KICK! He gets hit, but he doesn’t go down! That doesn’t seem to discourage her, though! She steps on up, and SHE FALLS BACK-FIRST RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM, CRASHING DOWN WITH THE STEP-UP SENTON! Jamie is on fire here, stringing along moves with not a single hesitation on her part! What fierceness from ‘The Iron Woman’ here tonight!
Stew-O: That fierceness could secure her the win here! She goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOO–!
Jake Mercer: No! Kickout! However, it’s clear that Korey is in a weakened state. The flurry of offense built upon his head crashing into the corner have all done their job. Jamie now has Korey down. She can do what she needs to do to try and win this match!
Flannery McCoy: What a contest it’s been thus far, but for these two young stars, it’s all about securing the win! The fans are cheering, especially for Jamie and her efforts! He takes hold of Korey by his head and leads him up. She keeps a hold of him as she strikes him with a forearm! Then, an elbow! Backhand chop! She spins, looking to seal the deal with a clothesline!
Stew-O: NO! ARM CAUGHT! ARM CAUGHT! Korey was able to stop her dead in her tracks, preventing her from finishing the combo! He’s wobbly, but he’s able to yank her onto his back into a Gory position! He spins her out, getting his knee up–
Jake Mercer: BUT SHE TOO CATCHES HIM! SHE CAUGHT THE ATTACKING LEG! DRAGON SCREW! KOREY GOES DOWN! JAMIE ROLLS FORWARD WHILE STILL HOLDING THE LEG AND GETS HIM UP… ‘GUARDIAN GATE’!! WHAT A MOVE!! SHE DROPPED HIM RIGHT ON THE HEAD!! AND HERE’S THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR–!
Flannery McCoy: NO! Korey kicks out! Still, WOW! That move is amazing! I don’t think we are ever going to get tired of seeing her hit it!
Stew-O: Impressive and innovative, but it’s not enough to put Korey Gaines away. Jamie falls back as she looks to recover, taking the time to get in some breaths.
Jake Mercer: She’s gonna have to worry up, though! She doesn’t have time to waste! If she wants to win, then she needs to strike while the iron is still hot! Don’t let it cool off!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, she has to keep the pressure on Gaines and wear him down so that she can finish him off for good! At least Jamie is up now, with the fans cheering for her! She looks around the ring before falling her gaze onto the corner. Looks like she could have something big in store here! Could be the final touches she needs before she’s able to finish this match once and for all!
Stew-O: Could be! Korey has proven himself to be tough with a few good tricks up his sleeves; one more brutal move, and Jamie Cross could effectively end things here! She has him up and him to the corner where she leans him up against it. She clobbers him with forearms after forearms! Punch after punch! Korey can hardly brace himself for the impact or cover himself! Now, she spins him around and SLAMS his face against the top padding! She does it again! Jamie is doing what she can to light him up and make sure he can’t recover!
Jake Mercer: Definitely liking the bit of aggression here! And she’s able to let up before the referee admonishes her! Just goes to show how badly Jamie wants to win and bring her career up to 2-0. A win after a match of this caliber could strap a rocket to her back! Or for either Elitists for that matter. They have showed up and showed out tonight!
Flannery McCoy: They sure did! But now, Jamie steps out onto the apron and climbs to the top. She has Korey by the hair and leads him up on the other side! Both Elitists are now at the top. Korey is leaning over, and with his back exposed, Jamie is taking it upon herself to hammer down some more forearms! She’s weakening him! She’s looking for something here…!
Stew-O: And it could be that Code Red – ‘The Last Stone’! Could be the last thing she needs to soften Gaines up before she finishes him! Here she comes! She flips up and over! SHE’S LOOKING TO SEND HIM DOWN–
Jake Mercer: BUT SHE DOESN’T! SHE ISN’T ABLE TO BECAUSE KOREY HAS HOLD OF THE ROPES! HE ISN’T BUDGING AT ALL! AND WITH JAMIE’S SMALL STATURE, THERE IS NO WAY SHE IS GOING TO JUST POWER HIM OUT OF THE CORNER! THIS ISN’T GOOD!
Flannery McCoy: Panic looks to be settling in as Jamie realizes Korey isn’t going anywhere! She reaches up and hits him over and over again! Just doing everything she can so he can let go! Nothing is working! Now, she relents and lets go of him. She comes in, looking to kick at his legs… but HE kicks her by sticking his foot out behind of him, catching her RIGHT IN THE FACE! Oh, that wasn’t pretty! Jamie stumbles back as she clutches her nose. At least she isn’t bleeding!
Stew-O: And Jamie’s runs in, once again going for an attack! BUT KOREY GAINES EVADES WITH A BACK FLIP! Jamie nearly runs into the corner, but she stops herself short of crashing! She turns and runs forward–
Jake Mercer: ‘FROGGY FOOTSTOMP’!!! KOREY GOT ALL OF THAT TO LAND! BOTH FEET DRIVE JAMIE DOWN AS SHE GETS CAUGHT BY THE LEAPING MUSHROOM STOMP!! AND KOREY LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF HER, HOOKING BOTH OF HER LEGS!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEE–!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! KICKOUT! JAMIE GOT CAUGHT BY THE UNEXPECTED MOVE, BUT SHE IS STILL ABLE TO KEEP HER HOPES OF WINNING THIS MATCH ALIVE! KOREY SLUMPS DOWN, SHAKING HIS HEAD! HE’S PROBABLY YELLING TO HIMSELF IN HIS HEAD, “THIS GIRL DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO QUIT”!!
Stew-O: But it’s that tenacity that has been able to let Jamie Cross win the hearts of the EAW faithful! The fans are going crazy in acknowledgement, cheering and chanting along! However, Korey has proven himself to be intelligent and adaptable; he’s changed so much since he returned to his promotion!
Jake Mercer: Gotta give credit where credit is due! I know it’s the fun thing to rag on this guy all the time, especially with the Elitists here taking pot shots at him, but this guy Gaines is gifted! He too was able to be resilient and bust out some reversals we didn’t expect! He’s shown some serious growth, and that is why he’s facing off against Caroline for the New Breed Championship in just a couple of weeks!
Flannery McCoy: The heart, tenacity and dedication that these two young talent have are on full display here. Korey, however, is seeking to end things! He’s up on his feet, checking out his own head. That cut is still fine, but it’s clear Korey is a bit hurt. He walks on over to Jamie and lifts her up before running forward and sending her back into the corner! He comes in and starts to attack with shoulder thrusts to the gut!
Stew-O: And Korey is ramping up the aggression, all while still showcasing is athleticism! He flips back and runs in, ending things with a particularly brutal-looking shoulder thrust, ramming right into Jamie! He grabs her by the arm and throws her onto his shoulders! He’s marching on!
Jake Mercer: And his steps come to a halt! Jamie’s peppering him with elbows to the side of his head! AND SHE’S LANDING THE POINT RIGHT ON THAT SIDE WITH THE CUT! KOREY IS HURTING! HE’S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO LET GO!
Flannery McCoy: He does! He goes to hold his head! However, Jamie is right behind him! She latches on to him and… oh my god! OH MY GOD! SHE’S GOT HIS FEET OFF OF THE MAT! SHE’S LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX–
Stew-O: BUT SHE ISN’T GOING TO GET IT! BACK ELBOW FROM KOREY FORCES HER TO LET GO! KOREY TAKES HOLD OF HER WRIST, SPINS HER AROUND WHILE HE DOES, AND CATCHES HER WITH A DISCUS ELBOW SMASH! JAMIE APPEARS TO BE STUNNED! KOREY RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES AND COMES BACK–
Jake Mercer: DISCUS ELBOW FROM JAMIE HERSELF! KOREY STAGGERS BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES WHILE JAMIE DOES THE SAME! THE TWO COME BACK TO THE MIDDLE! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!! BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: AND THE FANS ARE CHEERING! WHAT A MATCH! BOTH ARE REFUSING TO QUIT! BOTH WANT TO WIN SO BADLY AND EARN THEIR KEEP HERE IN EAW! KOREY WANTS TO SHOW HE IS READY TO BECOME A CHAMPION! JAMIE WANTS TO PROVE HER WORTH AND LIVE OUT THE GIRLHOOD DREAM! MATCHES LIKE THESE MAKE THE NEW BREED DIVISION ONE OF THE BEST, COMPETITIVE DIVISIONS FOR YOUNG UPSTARTS TO PARTAKE IN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!
Stew-O: This match really is a testament to what these young Elitists are willing to do to flourish within the bright lights of EAW! This is the LAND OF ELITE! And both Jamie Cross and Korey Gaines are showcasing just what exactly it means to be ELITE!
Jake Mercer: Ha! Couldn’t have said it better myself, Stew! In a way, it’s almost a shame that one of them is guaranteed to lose here tonight. Still, this is what it’s all about! Both Jamie and Korey are NOW beginning to stir, moving to get back to a vertical base. You can just see how much this match has taken out of them – and how much they’ve taken out of each other!
Flannery McCoy: At this point, this match is going to feel like the fight to the death! They’re both on their knees in close proximity to each other. Korey comes in and throws a punch Jamie’s way! She gets hit! However, she doesn’t fall! She just hits him right back, returning the favor! Punch from Korey! Punch from Jamie! Korey! Jamie! Korey! Jamie! Korey! Jamie! Fists are FLYING all over the place, and the crowd here in Billings is LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!
Stew-O: It’s all coming to a head here as these two clash! They’re back up now, hitting each other with their best shot! Korey backs up and goes for a bicycle kick! Jamie ducks! She pops back up and hits a roundhouse kick! Korey is rocked! She goes to grab him and gets him on her back! She could end it!
Jake Mercer: Korey is able to slip out, though! Jamie turns around right into a jumping knee strike! She stumbles back right into the apron! Korey quickly pursues her! He reaches on over, trying to get her back in… but SHE PULLS HIM THROUGH! He’s on the apron with her and the two continue to trade blows after blows! Something’s got to give here!
Flannery McCoy: They’re duking it out! Neither wants to give the other an inch. Korey pulls back, looking for a kick! Jamie though catches him in time with a kick of her own to his gut! He’s doubled over! Jamie goes in for the kill! She’s on his back! ‘THE LAST STONE’ ON THE APRON–
Stew-O: KOREY FLIPS HER OVER HIM! JAMIE IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET! BUT KOREY COMES IN A KICKS HER IN THE LEG! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! JAMIE DROPS TO HER KNEES ON THE APRON!! ‘KICK, KICK, KICK, SUPERKICK PARTY’!! SHE’S OUT! KOREY ROLLS HER INTO THE RING!
Jake Mercer: AND THIS COULD VERY WELL BE A PARTY FOR KOREY AS HE SCURRIES ON OVER TO THE OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLE, CLIMBING WITH URGENCY! HE’S ON THE TOP!! AND KOREY LEAPS OFF, HOMING IN ON HER! ‘OKIE DOKIE’!! IS HE GOING TO LAND IT?!
Flannery McCoy: HE DOES!! 450 SPLASH LANDS COMPLETELY! KOREY HURRIES AND TURNS HER OVER! HE’S GOT THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Jake Mercer: AND IT’S ALL OVER! KOREY GAINES WINS!
(‘What’s Up Danger’ plays. Korey and Jamie are laying in the ring, completely spent by an intense match-up. It takes a while, but Korey is able to rise to a knee. He smiles, raising his hands up in victory. The fans shower him with mostly cheers, applauding him and his opponent for an amazing bout. However, tonight, a victor was decided, and Korey Gaines stands as the proud winner.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… KOREEEEEEEEEEEEY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNEEEEEEEEEEEES!!
Stew-O: What a win here tonight for Korey Gaines! He really came into this match with his A-Game. Despite the questions and concerns, he was able to put on a clinic and impressed everyone!
Jake Mercer: One has to wonder if Caroline was watching. If so, then she’s probably realizing that she has some stiff competition ahead of her. Korey really went all out tonight, as did Jamie Cross!
Flannery McCoy: We can’t forget about Jamie’s efforts. She really did pull out all of the stops to try and win here tonight. Unfortunately, it was her night, but she showed so much resolve and heart. There’s no doubt that she is going too far here. At any rate, congratulations to Korey Gaines. He keeps his momentum going as we get closer and closer to the New Breed Championship match.
(Jamie comes to, sitting up. After realizing the outcome, a disappointed look clouds her face. As she looks up however, she sees Korey extending a hand out to her. Hesitant at first, she eventually accepts it. She’s helped up as the two show some respect. The fans cheer.)
Jake Mercer: Well, ain’t this something? Guess the guy can be a sportsman when needed.
Flannery McCoy: Definitely refreshing. Still, after a match like that, it’s only appropriate that they give each other some props.
(Korey takes his leave. He ‘woooos’, very much hyped up about the win. He does his usual strut as he claps his hands together, smiling and laughing. His attention then diverts to the camera.)
Korey Gaines: (off-mic) Caroline, I’m coming for you, and unlike tonight, I’m not gonna be nice. That title is mine.
(He motions to his waist and gives the camera one last grin before he disappears into the stage.)
(A commercial is shown for Starbucks featuring Ronan Malosi, try not to get fired pal.)
(‘Come Eat With Us’ by EST Gee and Young Scooter plays throughout the First Interstate Arena, drawing the immediate ire of the crowd. However, there is one particular loyal fan who is standing with fist raised in solidarity; the limited-edition Soul Food Sunday Black History Month shirt adorned underneath his blazer. At this point, everyone knows who he is.)
Jake Mercer: HERE THEY COME! THE GREATEST COLLECTIVE OF BLACK TALENT TO HAVE EVER GRACED AN EAW RING!
Flannery McCoy: They aren’t going to make you an honorary member, you know.
(The camera zooms in on the shirt before gradually dissolving and fading the shot off onto the stage where Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, the Visual Prophet, and SOSA Henderson are seen standing on. All three men wear their merch, with Viz and SOSA pridefully displaying the Unified Tag Team Championships on their shoulders. With microphones in hand, they make their way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time… the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions… SOUUUUUUUUUL FOOOOOOOOOOOD SUUUUUUUUUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Jake Mercer: YESSIR! It’s always a good day when they bless us with their presence! God, I feel sorry for those who died before they could witness these three wonderful, aspiring black men. I’d hate it if I lived in a time where I didn’t know they existed!
Stew-O: ‘Aspiring’ might be a bit iffy, but there’s no doubt that Soul Food Sunday have been able to make the past couple of months theirs. The last time we saw them compete was in a losing effort to Cameron Ella Ava and Limmy Monaghan – someone that they have beaten in tag team action before. However, they have been nigh-unstoppable; they have effectively made the tag division their division, and some pundits and wrestling critics have considered this run as perhaps the best of their respective careers. Point blank period.
Jake Mercer: Talk that talk, Stew! In fact, I’m inclined to agree with those sentiments. It’s a big claim to make given how both the Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson are two former world champions, but this is perhaps the most consistent and dominant they have been. They’ve accomplished so much with hardly any slip-ups. And to think that just a year ago, these two were at each other’s throats! Still, bitter enemies made for better friends, and black unity will always be of benefit. Now, they’ve shaken the entire division up, and they are redefining black excellence each and every time they come out here! Shoot, they’ve pretty much redefined their careers! They never were in a ‘slump’ or have ‘fallen off’, but since they’ve joined up together, they have been strong, efficient and productive.
Flannery McCoy: And I guess that seems to be the running theme of this season as we’ve witnessed other stars ascend to higher heights in ther already-illustrious careers, like Sienna Jade and–
Jake Mercer: I mean, yeah, there have been a few other Elitists who have reached an all-time new peak for themselves, but we’re talking about Soul Food Sunday right now, Flannery?
Flannery McCoy: Uh, yes, we are, but it’s just an interesting fact to point out–
Jake Mercer: Oh, typical white people. Can never let the black folks shine and prosper without needlessly putting them down or comparing their worth to others.
Flannery McCoy: … Hey, Stew-O: you think the management will accept our request for a new commentating partner? Maybe we can switch him for Persephone or someone.
Stew-O: If Rex McAllister is a part of the package deal, then sure.
Jake Mercer: Of course. Trade away someone who actually respects and acknowledges Soul Food Sunday. 🙄 Figures.
(Flannery and Stew-O snicker. In the ring, Soul Food Sunday stand side by side, maintaining their prideful stance. The music fades. Some boos can still be heard as Dr. D’Angelo motions to speak.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Oh, Montana… what an irrelevant state, dripped from head to toe in melanin-deficient mediocrity.
(The fans return with a fervored chorus of boos and insults. However, Dr. D’Angelo isn’t put off in the slightest. He simply smirks. SOSA and Viz laugh.)
Visual Prophet: They hate it ‘cause it’s true!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: No question about it, my brother. I mean, what is this place even known for? What actual worth has this state, let alone this city, brought to this country? I’d dare say that Soul Food Sunday has done more for the Unted States of America than a place its supposed, self-proclaimed proudest of patriots can’t even find on a geographic map of this nation.
(The boos get even more intense!)
SOSA Henderson: Well, they got them, uh… Rimrocks? Some sort of sandstone formation monument or whatever.
(The camera focuses on SOSA and his phone. Dr. D’Angelo looks at him up and down.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Came up with that from the top of your head, hm?
(SOSA raises his phone-attached hand in the air.)
SOSA Henderson: Guilty as charged, man.
(A pause. Then, laughter. Howling, cackling, black-men-jumping-up-and-down-while-patting-each-other laughter. The fans, of course, do not appreciate the group’s humor, as evident by their continued hostile reaction. However, the men feign wiping away their tears after their little moment and press on.)
Visual Prophet: It’s sad, isn’t it? How people have to look up what should be basic, known facts in order to see what it is that you have to offer? However, with Soul Food Sunday, we are anything but forgettable. People know we are the most dominant team in all of EAW today. People know what SOSA and I have achieved together and by ourselves. And we certainly ain’t boring, either – I mean, really, you guys are known for… rocks? O-Block has more cultural significance then some stupid ‘sandrock formatons’. Might as well designate that as a national landmark.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: The projects, the ghettos, they have all housed and homed so many talented black individuals within recent memory, from artists who dare to dream and share their creativity with the world, to leaders and innovators who dared not to be limited by their background and sought to make breakthroughs. Far better than the gentfiers and colonial nannies who do the bare minimum yet still have their work more exposed than those objectively more talented than them.
SOSA Henderson: Sorta like EAW now, huh?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Get the tea, my brother. Serve it pipping hot.
SOSA Henderson: Aye, all I’m sayin’ is we been had to deal with a whole lot of mediocre folks, people past their prime, or people who did have potential, but ain’t neva used it before yet still thinking they can suddenly get sprung and take us down. And especially around this time last year, I got overlooked in favor of folks who either ain’t here no more or ain’t even taken a whiff of the main event scene ever again!
Visual Prophet: Absolutely horrible.
SOSA Henderson: It sure is. However, I pushed past the BS, and look at me now. Look at US now. We’re unedeniably the best. We keep the needle movin’. We keep our names in people’s mouths even when we ain’t tryin’ to! We’re just effortless like that. We definitely be getting brought up more by some of the other champs here who are supposed to be holding the fort down for their shows and this promotion. We, as black people, did that.
Visual Prophet: Preach!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Ain’t nothing but the truth you’re spitting, my brother, SOSA. We’ve done so much. However, we also cannot forget about those who came before us. Soul Food Sunday retraced the path that other black people of the past have laid out for us. Yet, just like them, it seems like our contributions are simply being ignored.
(SOSA and Viz look on at Dr. D’Angelo.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: And it sickens me, considering what month it is and what it is supposed to signify.
Visual Prophet: Oh? Looks like you got a lot to say, Doc.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I certainly do. See, as happy as I am about all that the two of you have achieved, it’s dawned on me that this will be the last Dynasty of February… of Black History Month. It’s bad enough as is that other demographics don’t have to worry about their accomplishments being short-changed by having to be stuck with the shortest month of the year, but as I look back on this entire time… fellas, unless I have all of a sudden become senile, has EAW gone out of their way to PROPERLY acknowledge us, or our people during this period?
(Viz and SOSA let out a collective ‘hmm’ as they tap and rub their chin in thought.)
Visual Prophet: … Not that I can recall, Big D.
SOSA Henderson: Shoot, ion think they did, my man. Not at all.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Good. So, I am not tweaking then, correct?
Visual Prophet: Nope.
SOSA Henderson: Ain’t no way.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Alright. Glad to have confirmation on that.
(Dr. D’Angelo smiles: a pained, forced one. Just as forced as his laugh. Eventually, the facade drops. He stares directly into the camera. His glare is intense.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Well, silly of me, of us, to think that this promotion could ever do the right thing. Then again, what did I expect? This is the same company whose management allowed undeserving and unproven teams get their shot at The Prescription before we got our rightful chance against them. There has been many politcking and manuervings behind and in front of the scenes. So, I guess I should’ve expected that EAW would show a blatant disregard for the people, not just us, but OUR people who have consistently showed up and showed out for this promotion.
Random Fan in Crowd: Oh, shut up! Stop complaining about everything!
(Dr. D’Angelo focuses on the fan in the front row who said that.)
Jake Mercer: What disrespect! These fans have no class! No care in the world! How dare they say that our good man Dr. Angelo D’Angelo is complaining–
Stew-O: Wait, he just stepped out of the ring! SOSA and Viz are out with him as well! They are looking directly at the fan!
(Outisde, Dr. D’Angelo glares at the fan with utter disgust.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: … complaining? Is that how you see this? We are only bringing up what is clearly evident. But of course, whenever a black person rightfully speaks up about the disrespect that is unquestionably evident, it’s seen as ‘complaining’. I guess Martin Luther King Jr. was complaining. I guess Malcom X was complaining. I guess Daisy Bates was complaining. If that’s the case, then sure. I’ll complain just like they did because thanks to their ‘complaining’, we have rights. We can walk freely. We can express ourselves in any space and piss off ignortant bleached bozos like you who cannot tolerate our very existence yet won’t do anything about it.
SOSA Henderson: And even if you think of trying anything…
(SOSA makes a finger-gun motion before disrespectfully shoving the fan’s head, pushing his fingers into their forehead.)
SOSA Henderson: … we gon’ give your folks something real to complain about.
(The belligerent fan starts to look nervous and meek.)
Visual Prophet: Oh, buddy ain’t got nothing to say now. But that’s these white mutts nowadays: all bark, but no bite. Reminds me of a couple of teams we had to face at King of Elite. 🤣
(They get back in the ring as the fans boo. Those in the front row look on with a mix of shock and concern.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, at least they didn’t hit them or anything! Still, wow! That was intense!
Stew-O: No doubt about it.
Jake Mercer: Here we go again. Let black people defend themselves and–
Dr. D’Angelo: Let black people defend themselves and they’re seen as the bad guys. Typical, white America. Never change.
Jake Mercer: SEE?!?! SAME WAVELENGTH!
(The cameras focus on the men in the ring as the fans continue to boo at the group.)
Visual Prophet: That’s what happens when we decide to stand up for ourselves. Still, it isn’t anything new. Just like EAW’s contninued disregard for acknowledging the black Elitists and history makers who have made this place what it is today – aside from us, of course.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Seriously. Where are the promotions? Where are the montages that, while they can be corny at times, display black Elitists who have succeeded in this place? Where are the tributes, the thanks, the acknowledgement? We have our own shirt for this month and they do in fact sell, but EAW programming hasn’t bothered with a commercial for our new merch! And beyond just us, look at how they’ve made no mention of the legends, icons, and trailblazers who have come in and left the door wide open for us to step through in their wake! This is bigger than Soul Food Sunday! This is blasephemous!
Visual Prophet: That Tyrone really is a fool.
SOSA Henderson: Been one for real! He ain’t nothing but a corporate shill. He don’t care. I mean, at least Disney out here promoting Black Panther and ish, but they can’t incentivize that mouse-looking munch to do the same thing for us?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: That’s what kills me the most. He, a black man, is in some position of power where he can dictate what goes on with this show. He could have more black people deadline and main event Dynasty, but the Cac Coalition continues to hog up the spotlight. Nevermnind the fact that black people persist in being the backbone for this place. Nevermind the fact that the same people he and our overseers push people who steal from us. From our theme songs, to our lingo, to our style, to our overall cool factor. We have contributed to the culture of EAW by introducing OUR culture.
Visual Prophet: We really have people calling cacs, well, cac.
SOSA Henderson: And some of these Elitists wanna use our sayings and jokes, too. We been peeped.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Yet, we are never truly compensated for the influence we have brought. Still, it cannot be denied what we’ve done. Whether it’s February or any other month, Soul Food Sunday remains a top draw. We continue to have the fans watch us… even if they may have nothing but pure spite and contempt for us within their wicked little hearts.
(The crowd boos.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: It’s always the black unsung heroes that have been a staple of this company… and since EAW has decided not to take action and allowed this month to waste away, I think it is in our best interest to enlighten the masses and remind them once again the black people who have shaped this promotion into the juggernaut that it is today.
Visual Prophet: Talk to em! Definitely have to big up MaK here!
(Some of the fans actually cheer in acknowledgement.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Okay, okay. So, you people do have some actual awareness to our history. He is after all one of the founding fathers of this place and a two-time world champion. He was the one who has broken barriers in order for us to be here. One of the first Elitists to be inducted into the inaugural class of the EAW Hall of Fame. He is a true pioneer; someone who has seen it all and done it all…
Visual Prophet: Not to mention that he’s the only valid Canadian in our eyes.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Lord, I forgot the poor thing has to be known for hailing from such a detestable place. If it’s snowing, I certainly am not going. Still, if we had to choose between Canada and Montana, well… I don’t think it’s hard to discern which of those is the lesser of the two evils.
SOSA Henderson: Still evil, regardless.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Ain’t that the truth. But from one world champion to another, how about Vic Vendetta? Someone who looked up to the greats, the titans of EAW before he eventually became one himself. He became an inspiration. He became someone people can look up to.
SOSA Henderson: He sure did.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Even he finally decided to be black for half of his career.
(That got SOSA and Viz to cut up laughing. Audibles can be heard amongst the crowd, ranging from laughs of their own to discernable gasps and mumblings. D’Angelo shrugs.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: At least that allowed for Andre Walker to realize he was indeed a brother and can never assimilate with the white men.
(SOSA and Viz howl out, all giddy. More mixed reactions comes from the audience. Dr. D’Angelo gives a smirk and a wink before clearing his throat.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: But, it was through that realization that he flourished. Even to do this day, Andre’s rookie year alone is often re-attempted by the hot-shot, new blood of EAW here, none of whom have been able to recapture what made such an unparalleled and unforeseen run special. It just cannot be done again. And Andre’s reigns weren’t unmemorable either; every one can pinpoint each title of his and give a thorough list of his defenses, his wars, and each match he won. That can never be taken away from him.
SOSA Henderson: Aye, can’t lie. He really was cold with it.
Visual Prophet: Malcom Jones, too.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Ah, yes. Malcolm was indeed an icon. He took down the greats, beat other top stars and future stars in the making, and made a fast ascent to the top as a former world champion himself. He, like the black brothers we’ve mentioned, have done so much for this place. They should be honored one day, properly, and rightfully so. But…
SOSA Henderson: But?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: There are two of the most impactful African-Americans in EAW history…
Visual Prophet: And?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Everyone is looking at them right now inside of this ring.
(Viz, SOSA, and Dr. D’Angelo dap each other up, much to the booing and groaning of the fans.)
Visual Prophet: Of course we are! Listen, all respect to those guys, but they aren’t Soul Food Sunday. We are in a league of our own. We are certified, future first ballot hall of famers. We been to the top in so many different divisions by now that it’s almost baffling how versatile we are. You can throw us in any kind of water, but we won’t sink, we swim!
SOSA Henderson: And don’t be gettin’ funny with that either! We know how you racists get.
Visual Prophet: We definitely do know how to legitimately swim too, but that’s besides the point. Or… maybe it does add to the point. We aren’t these poor, unwitting black people you can fit into your stereotypes and boxes. We surpass them; we break out of them; we do not abide by the white man’s rule of the world, and that isn’t going to happen! SOSA and I wouldn’t have a fact sheet longer than some of these Elitists’ careers if we did.
SOSA Henderson: We definitely wouldn’t! But we are definitely them boys, that’s for sure. We ain’t here to be some jackals tap-dancing and pleasing y’all. We are go-getters. GOAL-getters, ya feel me? And we keep showing ourselves to be the best black talent in EAW today. Together. Y’all don’t know nuffin about that.
Visual Prophet: Na-DA!
SOSA Henderson: And not a single person, let alone a team can take us down. People were on Sheridan and Bethany’s lady nuts for how long about how they were the best tag team, but look at what happened? We beat them and now not even couples therapy can help them out. Soul Food Sunday has never folded, even in the past with some failures. We get back up, keep pushing, and that’s why we runnin’ this place here. The tag titles have been elevated into a new status because of us. Hell, I reckon we other add these as the FIFTH official world titles, ‘cause at this rate, that’s how we treatin’ them! That’s how they’re being seen as. Mad teams now wanna come around and get a slice of this pie we got here, and why do you think that is? It definitely ain’t cause of Tyrone and his coon-cheesin’ goofy ahhhhh self! WE built the tag titles UP!
Visual Prophet: We are builders! We are revolutionizers! And that’s what all of you need to understand. You gotta get with the program already… just like how Ryan Wilson and Xander Payne will soon enough.
(The fans cheer for both men, causing Soul Food Sunday to frown.)
SOSA Henderson: Oh, so NOW the EAW universe wanna take their side? Need we remind y’all that just a couple of months back y’all were actively cheering for them to get their butts whooped in and out of the ring? So, y’all can switch up quick with other folks, but still wanna boo us, huh?
(The fans boo out of pettiness. Their answer was clear as day.)
Visual Prophet: Let’s not get tight about these miscretins, SOSA. They’re always gonna disrespect us, just like EAW has done with us all this month, and JUST like their new pasty saviors hailing fron CanNAHda. Mid supports mid, I guess!
SOSA Henderson: And ain’t that a shame, ‘cause if y’all wanna support someone, then you ought to support Soul Food Sunday. We been more consistent than them boys. More wins, more titles, and more success than those bozos have accomplished this season. Yet, Xander and Ryan wanna come for us, thinking they have a shot at these championships.
(SOSA looks over at his half of the tag titles and laughs, shaking his head.)
Visual Prophet: Well, these people are set on their support for them. And you know what? It’s cute. I mean, just like OBA and Shane and Nick, people want to cling on to the underdogs and believe that they’re capable of doing the unthinkable against a known, credible threat. And hey, on paper, sure, Xander and Ryan could have a better chance considering what they accomplished in the past… but this is the present; the now, and this time, the reality is that Soul Food Sunday are the ones who are up. Not them. This isn’t New Breed Ryan who was holding down the division for that entire summer of 2021. This isn’t World Heavyweight Xander who I was able to beat in one of the most competitive matches of my career just a couple of months ago in that same year. This is a new season, and SOSA and I have been able to elevate ourselves whereas these men are only just NOW getting back into the rhythm of things.
SOSA Henderson: Ha. Ain’t it funny though how they pretty much fallen off at around the same time?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I was just about to say that, SOSA. You read my mind.
Visual Prophet: It sure is, ain’t it? If history is any indicator, then Xander and Ryan are destined to fail against us. Cute how they came together, then. However, Soul Food Sunday is all about making history, as we have done so our entire careers. History will be on our side once again, and Xander and Ryan will know history when they are added as successful defense nuumber two for two of the most talented, gifted, versatile, handsome-est, and amazing black athletes to ever step foot inside of an EAW ring. It’s a shame we won’t close out this month with a win over them, but we will be entering the new one at our absolute best regardless.
SOSA Henderson: I like the sound of that, Viz. History is what we’re all about. We ain’t let our prime get stuck in the past. Our prime is eternal. Period.
Visual Prophet: Also, someone tell that sloppy fat white boy to stop putting ketchup on those awful, fake packaged mac and cheese, oh lord have mercy. We definitely aint whipping it up in any kitchen, and he ain’t whipping anything up once he and his lackey step into the ring with us. Trust.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Amen to that, my brothers! Amen to that!
(‘Come Eat With Us’ hits, and Soul Food Sunday take their leave from the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Soul Food Sunday couldn’t be any clearer! They are intent on keeping those titles for as long as they deem fit to do so, and with how they’ve been on a roll, it’s going to be a looooooong, long time before anyone is able to knock them from their thrones!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but… I dunno. Didn’t anyone else pick up on those back-handed comments from them?
Jake Mercer: Oh, here you go again, Flannery. What sort of bad-faith concern do you have now?
Flannery McCoy: I mean, they pretty much said they were better than Mak, Vic, Malcolm, Andre… they even cracked some jokes about them.
Jake Mercer: So?! Everyone here makes jokes about each other! Also, is it a crime to be ambitious and believe that you can possibly be better than people, especially since this is, oh, I don’t know, Flannery… WRESTLING? Besides, I’m sure Mak, Vic and the rest of them thought they were better than those that came before them. It isn’t anything new nor is it as disrespectful as you are trying to make it out to be.
Flannery McCoy: Yes, but for a group who wants to talk about black unity all the time, it felt like their comments were a bit disingenuous.
Jake Mercer: Ugh. Maybe we should get YOU out of the commentary team! You’re unbelievable.
Flannery McCoy: Sorry for seeing their hypocrisy, I guess. 🤷♀️
Stew-O: A lot of things to think about in the wake of Soul Food Sunday’s comments. Still, I’m sure that there are two men who will have a lot to say to them: Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson. We’ll have to just wait and see for how they will respond to the Unified Tag Team Champions and their bold-as-always words.
Jake Mercer: But until then, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH, EVERYONE! ✊
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown, which is headlined by Kassidy Heart going up against Xander Payne.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with the camera focusing on Stephie Love, who is standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following TAG TEAM MATCH is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Free Dominguez is heard playing through the speakers of the arena, with the camera going over to show the Interwire Champion Amir Yusuf making his way out to the stage. He has his title in hand as he raises it into the air with a confident grin on his face before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and to the ring. ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert is then heard following that with the camera going over to show the ever-so-ominous Ruler begin to make his way out. He has a serious look on his face while he stares right at the ring, taking a moment while the crowd shows their displeasure toward him before then beginning to make his way to the ring as well following Amir.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… the team of RULER AND THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION AMIR YUSUF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is then heard playing up as the crowd erupts into cheers upon seeing an energized Bronson Daniels begin to make his way out to the stage. He has a smile on his face while he hypes up the crowd and raises his arms in the air. He then eyes the ring before continuing to make his entrance. ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar is then heard with the camera going over to show PJ Hendrx begin to make his way out with an arrogant smirk on his face. He spreads his arms out and trash talks the camera before then beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… the team of BRONSON DANIELS AND PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go, this high caliber tag team match is officially underway! Amir Yusuf is starting off for his team while Bronson Daniels is for his. Both of them make their way out of their corners, knowing one another fairly well and being cautious of their first moves in this match. Amir raises his hand looking to start this match with a lock up, and it seems Bronson is going to reciprocate, taking his hand… OH! BUT IT WAS ALL A PLOY WITH AMIR PULLING HIMSELF BACK AND BRONSON TOWARD HIM BEFORE LANDING A CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD! Bronson is taken down to the mat while Amir begins to repeatedly stomp down on his body, looking to start this match off aggressive and hard-hitting!
Flannery McCoy: It’s a smart strategy, and a good way to set the tone as this match goes on. Bronson immediately reaches out and clutches for the ropes, forcing Amir to back away and create some distance while he recovers. The Interwire Champion isn’t going to let him breathe for too long though, grabbing him by the arm and sending him to the opposite pair of ropes with an Irish whip… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! Bronson is taken down to the canvas while Amir turns around and runs the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP!
Jake Mercer: NO! Bronson rolls out of the way while Amir drops down to a kneeling position, he attempts to recover, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO HIS FACE TO KEEP HIM AT BAY! Smart move by a despicable human being as he grabs him by the head and brings him back up to his feet, grabbing him into a front facelock, BEFORE THEN LIFTING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH A SNAP SUPLEX TO DROP HIM BACK DOWN!
Stew-O: Truly a back and forth start to this match so far, but who’s going to end up getting the upper hand? Bronson surely wants that to be his team as he gets Amir back up and begins to tug him toward his corner, looking to tag out quickly to PJ. He’s close, but before he gets there Amir starts to fight back with sharp elbows toward his abdomen! This loosens Bronson’s hold on him and that gives Amir the opportunity to break free and send forearm shots toward his head! Amir is trying to make sure that he’s unable to tag out, and grabs him by the arm and instead looks to send him toward his corner so he can tag out, but Bronson manages to drop his weight to make sure that doesn’t happen! That gives Bronson enough time, PLANTING HIS FEET BEFORE PULLING AMIR IN AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO HIS GUT!
Flannery McCoy: Amir is dropped down to a kneeling position but quickly tries to get back up to his feet in order to get some offense going before it’s too late, BUT BRONSON DOESN’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN WITH A PUMP KICK TO THE FACE TO DROP HIM! That does the trick for the time being with Bronson bringing him back up and looking to pick up where he left off, sending him into his own corner and looking to tag out. He runs forward… CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW OF A CORNERED AMIR…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: BEFORE GETTING THE TAG TO PJ HENDRX! PJ enters the ring while Bronson takes his place on the apron, eyeing Amir, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR TO CONNECT WITH A HIGH KNEE TO HIS FACE! We know that PJ wants the Interwire Championship and I can’t see a better way to prove that he can hold that title by beating the Champion himself. He grabs Amir by the head and sends him down onto the canvas, with him rolling up to a kneeling position while PJ closes in, grabbing him by the head and sending a barrage of forearm strikes toward his face! Amir is finding it hard to respond and the only thing he’s able to do is shove him away to try and create some form of breathing room, but PJ does indeed break apart as he runs the ropes… BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR WHILE AMIR IS GETTING UP AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A SWIFT HURRICANRANA!
Stew-O: Amir rolls up to a seated position, the look on his face telling the whole story that he just didn’t expect as much offense as he’s been given right now. He continues to try and persist in getting back up to a vertical base, BUT PJ RUSHES TOWARD HIM AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A METEORA! He looks to perhaps up the ante now as he begins to scale up to the top turnbuckle while Amir is down on the canvas. He positions himself, looking to strike while he has the chance… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO SO IT’S AMIR THAT STUMBLES INTO THE ROPES, FORCING PJ TO LOSE BALANCE AND BE BROUGHT BACK DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION!
Flannery McCoy: Amir thinking quick on his feet right now as it was looking like PJ was trying to attempt his ‘Catch Your Breath’ Phoenix Splash, but he managed to prevent that just in time! Amir stumbles over, still trying to situate himself and recover in a timely manner, but before he can do anything it’s PJ that kicks him in the head and manages to get out of what was already a really compromising position for him! PJ lands on his feet off the turnbuckle padding, BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE- But it doesn’t connect with Amir ducking under it! PJ oversteps and dips down to a knee but turns around and manages to seize the wrist of Amir quickly before sending him toward the opposite turnbuckle padding! Amir bounces off of the turnbuckles while PJ runs forward, but before he can do anything it’s Amir that manages to sidestep and send PJ into the corner instead! PJ attempts to retaliate, ONLY FOR AMIR TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: Amir is getting into the groove of things now as he grabs PJ by the head and brings him out of the corner, setting him up… BEFORE SPIKING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A HUGE TORNADO DDT! Amir immediately has his arms stretched out toward his corner, and he knows that he needs to get the tag out to his fresh tag partner Ruler while he has the chance. He’s been taking a beating in this match and he knows it, but PJ already has a hold of his ankle trying to make sure that’s not the case. Amir tries to break free of his hold, but PJ has a tight grip as he gets back up to his feet, BUT HE MANAGES TO FIND A WAY BY TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD…
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BEFORE TAGGING OUT TO RULER! Ruler quickly enters into the ring before rushing toward PJ who’s getting back up, CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO HIS GUT! This sends PJ backward but manages to keep himself up, only for Ruler to connect with a side kick to his chest to follow, THEN TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW SMASH TO THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE! PJ drops down to a kneeling position while Ruler takes a step back, CONNECTING WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO THE FACE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler makes his way over and grabs PJ by the head, bringing him back up to his feet, BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS’! DDT TO DROP PJ DOWN AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: But that doesn’t happen with PJ managing to connect with shots toward the abdomen! Ruler tries his best to keep his grip on him, but right now that’s proving to be difficult because even if he has a choice PJ gets the opportunity to slip out of the front facelock and away from the DDT attempt! PJ manages to recover before grabbing at the head of Ruler while he approaches, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO HIS FACE! This sends Ruler backward, BEFORE HE GOES UNDER AND CONNECTS WITH A LEG SWEEP WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! PJ then waits for him to get back up to his feet, setting him up by running to the ropes… GOING FOR A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO HIS KNEECAP!
Jake Mercer: ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’! RULER TURNS IT INTO A METEORA WHICH LEAVES PJ LYING ON THE MAT! RULER MANAGES TO TAKE HIM DOWN BEFORE HEADING OVER AND HOOKING THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT PJ MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME! Ruler sits up and it’s clear that he’s just not having it with PJ today, getting back up to his feet and grabbing his head while he does so before bringing him up as well. He begins to drag him somewhere, throwing him into his own corner!
(Ruler sends PJ into his own corner, eyeing Bronson Daniels who does not at all look interested in him whatsoever. Ruler though is yelling at him to tag in, but the window is closing with PJ managing to recover.)
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: BRONSON TAGS HIMSELF IN! PJ is fine with that as Bronson slips through the ropes, RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE OF RULER TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Ruler attempts to get back up to his feet in spite of that, ONLY TO BE MET WITH ANOTHER RUNNING FOREARM STRIKE BY BRONSON! Ruler continues to try and get back up to his feet while Bronson approaches him, only for Ruler to send a strike to his abdomen in hopes of stopping any further attack! Ruler then allows himself to get back up to his feet, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT- But Bronson manages to move out of the way while Ruler dips down to a kneeling position, Ruler tries to get back up, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN! Bronson then turns around and runs toward the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘FLYING BRONSONS’! THE BOOM DROP TO RULER!
Jake Mercer: BUT RULER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Bronson lands right on his tailbone while Ruler quickly gets back up to his feet, STEPPING FORWARD AND STOMPING DOWN ONTO HIS CHEST TO DRIVE HIM INTO THE MAT! Bronson continues to try and get back up, still relatively fresh, BUT RULER ALREADY HAS A HOLD OF HIM AS HE LIFTS HIM UP AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Ruler then turns around while Bronson attempts to get back up, GOING FOR ANOTHER ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’! METEORA TO THE HEAD OF BRONSON JUST LIKE HE DID TO PJ!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON LAYS FLAT ON HIS BACK LEAVING NOTHING BUT AIR FOR RULER TO CONNECT WITH! He tumbles down to the floor and this gives Bronson the opportunity to get back up to his feet and await Ruler while he’s getting back up… CONNECTING WITH ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE OF RULER DROPS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS! BRONSON ISN’T DONE THOUGH AS HE BRINGS HIM BACK UP…
Flannery McCoy: ‘SAVAGE MODE’! LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER CONNECTS! NO WAY BRONSON IS ABOUT TO GET THIS WIN! BRONSON LAUNCHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT…
Jake Mercer: NO! RULER MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING JUST IN TIME! HE MANAGES TO ESCAPE IMMEDIATE DOOM AND BRONSON IS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT HAPPENED!
(Ruler rolls out of the ring and manages to prop himself onto a kneeling position, clearly winded and doing everything he can to maintain a somewhat upright position in the face of some tough opposition. He knows that Bronson nearly got him there, and after everything that the two of them have gone through over the past couple of weeks, he’s going to make sure that he doesn’t get the last laugh. Bronson gets back up to his feet, shaking his head before running toward a corner.)
Stew-O: BRONSON LEAPS UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND LEAPS OFF, LOOKING TO TAKE RULER DOWN WITH A TRUST FALL!
Flannery McCoy: NO! RULER MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! BRONSON CRASHES DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PADDING TO CUSHION HIS FALL!
(Bronson is in a world of hurt while Ruler quickly retreats away, retreating while still grabbing his head in pain. He stumbles toward the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and making his way over to his corner.)
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: RULER MANAGES TO TAG OUT TO AMIR YUSUF! The Interwire Champion is back in this match and he has the pristine opportunity to pick up where his tag partner left off. He immediately drops off of the apron and makes his way around the ring, eyeing Bronson who’s struggling to get up after a pretty rough fall. Amir grabs him by the head and brings him up to his feet, BEFORE SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Bronson is hurt and Amir quickly rolls him back into the ring, he then jumps onto the apron, eyeing his prey and looking to strike… GOING FOR A SLINGSHOT ROLLING THUNDER DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON NARROWLY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Amir rolls back up to his feet, managing to catch himself before anything can happen, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A SIDE KICK TO THE ABDOMEN! Bronson then turns around and runs the ropes and back… ONLY FOR AMIR TO CATCH HIM AND LAUNCH INTO THE AIR BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL RUNNING SPANISH FLY!
Flannery McCoy: Amir is getting back up to his feet, turning and beginning to make his way up to the top turnbuckle, BUT HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE SUPER BRONSON GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! That instant recovery took a lot out of Bronson, as you can see with him stumbling backward and trying to catch his breath, but it saved him from being hit with any of Amir’s big moves from the top rope. BRONSON THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! Amir is stunned while Bronson grabs him by the head, dragging him over to the corner, and it looks like he’s going to try and tag out to his partner…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: WHICH HE DOES! TAG OUT TO PJ! He enters the ring and takes hold of Amir, but he manages to send punches toward him to prevent anything from happening! PJ attempts to fight back, but Amir catches him with a stiff knee that stops anything that he’s attempting to do! Amir then pushes him against the ropes and sends him to the opposite side of the ring, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST! He isn’t done either as he gets back up to his feet, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING HIM WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT TO FOLLOW! Amir isn’t done, AS HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Stew-O: BUT PJ MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! He gets back up to his feet, BEFORE SENDING A PUNT KICK TO HIS GUT TO TAKE AMIR DOWN! PJ grabs Amir and brings him back up to his feet, BEFORE SENDING HIM BARRELING INTO THE CORNER AT FULL FORCE!
(RIP!)
(While Amir is sent into the corner chest first, he clutches onto the top turnbuckle padding, and the sheer power of impact causes the whiplash to rip the turnbuckle clean off of it’s hinge. Amir drops it down to the ground and clutches his chest in pain, while PJ grabs him and brings him up again.)
Flannery McCoy: PJ tries to direct away from the mishap, but Amir connects with an elbow to the abdomen! PJ doubles over while Amir grabs him by the head, LOOKING TO SLAM HIM AGAINST THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE- But PJ manages to hold his hands out before impact and push himself away, BEFORE GOING UNDER AND CONNECTING WITH A SNAKE EYES CORNER MOVE SENDING AMIR FACE FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE IN RETURN!
(Amir crumbles down, clutching his face at the center of the ring. PJ sees the opportunity and begins to make his way over to a corner… where he’s met by Ruler. Ruler succeeds at catching his attention as the two of them argue with one another, clearly finding a disagreement, meanwhile the referee is seen picking up the turnbuckle padding and trying to fix it back onto its hinge. Ruler is clearly getting irritated while PJ enjoys pressing his buttons, that’s until…)
Jake Mercer: RULER SPITS OUT THE BLACK MIST AT PJ!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! HE DUCKS UNDER IT!
(The mist misses PJ and hits Ruler’s partner, Amir instead, leaving him blinded with his arms stretched trying to find out where in the world he is right now.)
Flannery McCoy: RULER MISFIRED AND HIT HIS PARTNER!
Jake Mercer: BRONSON JUMPS OFF OF THE APRON AND SPRINTS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, GRABBING A HOLD OF THE LEGS OF RULER AND PULLING HIM OFF OF THE APRON! THE TWO OF THEM ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH NOW, THEIR FEUD AS OF LATE REACHING A BOILING POINT IN THIS MATCH! THE TWO OF THEM ARE TRADING BLOWS, MEANWHILE PJ HAS AMIR SET UP…
Stew-O: ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION’! SPRINGBOARD SPEAR TO A BLINDED AMIR DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! PJ GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘DNA’ plays through the speakers once again with the crowd going absolutely berserk for the victory. PJ Hendrx pulls himself off of Amir Yusuf before getting back up to his feet, absolutely hyped while raising his hands in the air. Bronson Daniels manages to break free of his brawl with Ruler upon hearing the bell, sliding in to join him while the referee raises both of their hands in victory before they start their well-earned celebration.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners… the team of BRONSON DANIELS AND PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WOW! Looking past all the controversy, there’s only one thing that’s going to be in the history books, and that’s that tonight on Dynasty PJ Hendrx has pinned the Interwire Champion Amir Yusuf! We know PJ is gunning for that title, and what a statement to make to the Champion regarding that.
Jake Mercer: And Bronson just got a huge one up over Ruler as well, someone who he’s had his issues with over the past couple of weeks. I may not like the man, but I’ll come out here and call a spade a spade like I always do. He may have gotten the victory this week, unfortunately, but I doubt neither Amir or Ruler are going to be taking this lightly that’s for sure.
Stew-O: Congratulations nonetheless to both Bronson and PJ on their win!
(A disappointed Ruler is seen seated against the barricade, meanwhile Amir is angrily seen retreating up the ramp with the Interwire Championship in tow. Bronson and PJ look at one another in the ring, and although they have had their differences, they can’t help but give their respect to one another right now. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade elsewhere from there.)
(A commercial is shown for EAW: Fight Forever, an unofficial fan-made game that is probably never going to be released to the public.)
(The camera pans back to the ring with a rectangular contract table in the middle of the ring. Two black leathered rolling office chairs are on each horizontal side of the table. A display stand is at one of the sides for Limmy Monaghan’s World Heavyweight Championship and Stew-O is standing on the end of the table.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, I will be hosting the official contract signing for the World Heavyweight Champion match at Operation: Doomsday between challenger Cameron Ella Ava and World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan! Now, I was trusted with this job. Both Limmy and Cameron have signed agreements to not get into any physical altercations during this contract signing. They weren’t obligated, but the both of them insisted due to the mutual respect of each other. Now, let’s bring out the challenger. Ladies and gentlemen…please welcome…Cameron Ella Ava!
(The crowd gives Cameron Ella Ava a nice pop as ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn begins to play through the speakers. Cameron comes out with a huge smile on her face. Cameron is loving being under the lights.)
Jake Mercer: Now, EAW Elitists, normally in contract signings, are given by the EAW legal team some non-disclosure agreements on not to have any physical altercations during these contract signings. Unless the two competitors are in danger to really harm the upcoming match, they have the decision whether to sign these agreements or not. It’s normally 75/25, but this is one of the rare scenarios that the two Elitists have agreed to sign them.
Flannery McCoy: That is something that I really didn’t know and it’s also a strategy kind of thing because you never know what your opponent is going to do. Now, Cameron Ella Ava stepped up to Limmy Monaghan three weeks ago on Dynasty. Limmy wanted competition and Cameron answered the call. Cameron did make her intentions clear in her videos, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise. But, if we’re going to see Cameron from Road to Redemption or King of Elite in Operation: Doomsday, Limmy could be in trouble.
(‘Good For Her’ dies down as Cameron Ella Ava shakes hands with Stew-O before looking around the area.)
Stew-O: Cameron, welcome, please take a seat. Take the time to get comfortable.
(Cameron Ella Ava takes a seat on the dark-leathered rolling office chair. She grabs the microphone that was placed in front of her on the rectangular table.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You’re welcome, Stew. More than honored to be out here for what is going to be such a spectacular match at Operation: Doomsday, where I will once again make history and become the first woman to hold the World Heavyweight Champion. 😌
(The Dynasty crowd has a mixed reception to that, but Cameron Ella Ava looks as calm as she possibly can before continuing off.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Now, hold up everyone, no need to get your pitchforks ready. After all, we got such an exciting contract signing going on and if you all want to see this match happen, you should wait until this match is set in stone. I don’t know about you all, but I’m really excited about Operation: Doomsday. If there is a setting that Cameron Ella Ava really thrives in, it’s in the main event and in a World Championship match. Oh, and when you add the ‘making history’ part, you will get nothing, but the absolute best from me, but that sounds kind of cliche at this point 🙄, so why don’t you introduce the World Champion, Stew?
(With that suggestion, Stew-O looks towards the EAW Universe before introducing Limmy Monaghan.)
Stew-O: Now, further ado, ladies and gentleman, please welcome at this time…the EAW World Heavyweight Champion…Limmy Monaghan!
(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa begins to play through the speakers of the First Interstate Arena. The crowd rises up to their feet as Limmy Monaghan comes from the back. The World Heavyweight Champion wrapped around his waist.)
Flannery McCoy: The World Heavyweight Champion is here! Limmy Monaghan arrived at the ring with the confidence of a World Champion. After the past few exchanges that he’s been having with Cameron Ella Ava, what else can be said between these two?
Jake Mercer: I feel like this is a good platform to get some progression going and really go into depth about their thoughts and feelings for the upcoming match. It’s been nice and respectful, but I want to see something raw and organic. Something refreshing and never seen before.
(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ fades. Limmy Monaghan places the World Heavyweight Championship on the display stand next to him. Cameron Ella Ava’s eyes have not left the World Heavyweight Championship since Limmy came out. Limmy takes a seat across from Cameron on the rectangular table.)
Stew-O: Thank you, Limmy, for joining us out here.
Limmy Monaghan: My pleasure, Stew. We have a World Championship match to hype up, after all. Now, Cameron, with all respect – I mean, we can go back-and-forth with all of this talking about ‘respect’ and what not. I have a mountain of respect for you. At the end of the day, you will go down as one of the greatest of all time. Your contributions to women’s wrestling and this company is not mentioned enough, but I recognize your abilities. I recognize your hard work, dedication and the trials that you’ve been through during your decade long career. You are someone who should have gotten her flowers a long time ago and I’ll make sure to send you a bouquet after Operation: Doomsday after successfully retaining my World Heavyweight Championship.
(The crowd seems caught off guard with that statement as Cameron Ella Ava tilts her head to the left, listening to Limmy Monaghan speak. Limmy doesn’t think too deeply of the statement that he just made. He is only trying to get his point across. Meanwhile, Cameron raises a brow at Limmy’s confidence showing, but is intrigued at the same time.)
Limmy Monaghan: I will get you your flowers because that’s what you deserve, Cameron. You will put on the performance of a lifetime. You will pour your entire heart and soul into that ring at the United Center, but when it comes down to it, you are just not ready for what I have in store for you.
(The crowd has a mixed reception for Limmy Monaghan. While the Dynasty crowd loves Limmy, there is clearly some respect that they have for Cameron Ella Ava and know for a fact that she is not going to give up without a fight at Operation: Doomsday.)
Limmy Monaghan: I’m confident in my abilities. I’m confident in my abilities to get the job done on March 15th. I feel 100% certain that I know you, Cameron, no matter what new personality that you’ve developed since your return. I am capable of fighting against you just as I’ve done with every other legend in the past. Rex McAllister, Impact, Kassidy Heart, Charlie Marr – I have stepped inside the squared circle with each of those legends and walked out with a whole different person with knowledge that can only be truly experienced at that particular moment. Victories are sweet, but these losses have built me into the man I am today, a leader of the new generation, a monarch, who is sitting comfortably on his throne and is not looking to give it up anytime soon. At Operation: Doomsday, this will be my second title defense and while it’s been truly a delight to have these respectful conversations, nothing is going to stop me from accomplishing what I’ve set out to do and that’s become better than the best and most importantly, better than you, ‘Serpent.’
Cameron Ella Ava: Uh, no. I disagree…respectfully, of course. If this was Cameron from a year ago, I think that you would really have a great shot at defeating me, Limmy. In your defense, you did back on Showdown last season. While there’s a giant, fat asterisk next to that victory of yours, I’m not going to take that away from you. Honestly, it’s better for you than someone who really doesn’t need that specific bragging right. Of course, you know that I more than happy to help out those who are looking to kick their careers in high gear – even, when I’m not really looking forward to do that, but for you, Limmy, I am willing to do what I can to make you a freaking star on March 15th! You get that well-needed boost to be stepping into the ring with the bonafide legend in Cameron Ella Ava, but you get that extra umph for being in the ring with this iteration of Cameron Ella Ava.
Cameron Ella Ava: This iteration of Cameron Ella Ava is far different than what people have known Cameron Ella Ava to be. ‘Queen’ Cameron can’t compare, ‘Killa’ Cameron can’t compare, ‘The Goddess’ wishes it can compare, but they all died when I fully embraced who I was always meant to be in this business and that’s whoever you want me to be, Limmy. Please, look at me as the villain of your story, make me your villain, make me your worst nightmare, make me the woman who is standing in the way of you potentially headlining Pain for Pride 16. I want to see you headline Pain for Pride, Limmy. I want you to be a freaking star, Limmy. I want to be immortalized in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of the season. But, do you know what happens when you stand in the way of Cameron Ella Ava and what truly belongs to her?
(Cameron Ella Ava gestures the ‘knife slitting throat’ with her index finger, symbolizing the absolute worst.)
Cameron Ella Ava: This iteration of Cameron Ella Ava is more ruthless and dangerous than ever and my eyes have opened and I realize that this business is exactly what it is and that’s a business. We all hate each other, Limmy. We all want to reach the top and will do nothing in order to achieve it. This is a friendless business. My list of friends don’t even match up to the amount of fingers I am using to hold this microphone. I have messed up so many friendships. I have ruined relationships that I can’t bring back. I have spent a majority of my career caring about the perception people have of me, but people are always going to create their narratives about me. Honestly, I don’t care anymore. I am going to do what I please and I will go forward with it by any means necessary. Limmy, you don’t see that and by the time you do, it’ll be too late. At the end of it all, am I going to count you with my fingers or are you going to finally realize that all of this ‘catching up’ with me is going to lead you to seeing me as ‘The Serpent’ I am?
Cameron Ella Ava: It’s been truly fun to catch up with you and seeing your success in person, I am truly happy about what you’ve been able to accomplish. I am always going to be your biggest fan, but in the end, I am going to have to do what I must in order to fulfill my personal desires and seeing what I’ve been able to do, that goal is not so far-fetched.
Limmy Monaghan: To me, this isn’t one of these matches that needs to be a personal, bloody rivalry. Maxwell did his best with trying to make it personal between the two of us, but that was business. At Operation: Doomsday, it’s business with me as well because this championship is the most important thing to me. It is what places me on a pedestal. It is what makes Limmy Monaghan ‘The Leader’ of the Dynasty brand and the only World Champion that matters in this company. I am the ‘Final Boss’ to many Elitists, who are looking to carve out their own legacies. If they want to do that, they have to get through me. If they want to have a legacy in this company, they have to get through me, but it’s only going to end with me, solidifying my own legacy. This match isn’t important because it’s a main event match. It’s not important because it has two of the biggest attractions of the Dynasty brand going face-to-face. It’s important because any match that I take part of, on any given card, is one step closer to the future. It means so much for the future and this company is always looking forward to that. Operation: Doomsday will be another instance of looking towards the future and that begins with defeating you, Cameron.
Limmy Monaghan: You’re looking to add more to your legacy. I am looking to continue my legacy. I am going to continue my mission to be the role-model, a picture-perfect example of what the ‘new era’ is supposed to be and take EAW to that next level.
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s so cute and wholesome, Limmy. 🥺 It really tears at the heartstrings and I commend you on your mission, but I’m not a role-model and it make me sick to my stomach that I was burdened with that role. I have done things that role-models aren’t supposed to do. I don’t advise women to do 90% of the things that I’ve done throughout my career, but I highly encourage you to do what you can to succeed. That is what I had to do to get to this stage of my career. I had my instances of sitting on my hands and I wasted my career away. I think my husband said it best back in late 2019. “That’s not what makes World Champions” and he was right. I’m the most decorated female that this company has ever seen. No woman – past or present – can touch me inside that ring. And much to the dismay of every male, no man can touch me, my accomplishments and the lasting impact that I have in professional wrestling. You think that changes in 2023? No, it doesn’t, Limmy. No matter the generation, my legacy exceeds everyone else. Even yours, ‘Leader.’
Stew-O: I would love to keep this conversation going, but we do have to make this match official.
Limmy Monaghan: Agreed to disagree, Cameron, but once you sign that contract, you will be in for the biggest fight of your entire life.
Stew-O: Cameron, as the challenger, you sign the contract first.
(Cameron Ella Ava’s eyes don’t leave Limmy Monaghan and the World Heavyweight Championship as she clicks the pen to reveal the point. Stew-O slides the contract towards her as Cameron looks at the contract before signing over the blank line with ‘challenger’ underneath it. With zero hesitation, she slides the contract towards Limmy, whose eyes have not looked away from Cameron.)
Stew-O: Limmy, now, it’s your turn to sign the contract and make this World Heavyweight Championship match official.
(Limmy Monaghan unclicks the pen before signing over the blank line with ‘champion’ underneath it. The crowd slowly pops as the World Heavyweight Championship match is official. Limmy slides the contract back to Stew-O, who looks to see the signatures where they’re supposed to be.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, Cameron Ella Ava and Limmy Monaghan have both signed the contract. The World Heavyweight Championship match at Operation: Doomsday is on!
(The crowd cheers at the match finally being made official as Stew-O begins to leave the ring. With that, Limmy Monaghan and Cameron Ella Ava forward and off their chairs and stand up. The cameras begin to flash from the photographers at ringside, trying to get pictures of the champion and challenger for the EAW site. Limmy and Cameron exchange a couple of words, but the audio does not pick it up. Cameron is seen pointing at the World Heavyweight Championship as Limmy places the title on his shoulder. Limmy raises the World Heavyweight Championship up in the air as ‘Limit Break x Survivor’ plays through the speakers once again.)
Jake Mercer: Now, that got intense there. This whole contract signing was just building up to that, but the fight is on for the World Heavyweight Championship. At Operation: Doomsday, Cameron Ella Ava will face the champion himself, Limmy Monaghan! Now, Stew, welcome back here, did it go the way you hoped?
(A headset being adjusted is heard as Stew-O is joined back in the commentating booth with Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy.)
Stew-O: With Cameron Ella Ava, you can cut the tension with a knife. Just being in the ring with her, it’s a completely different energy. I was a little startled as the contract signing progressed. If Limmy Monaghan isn’t going into Operation: Doomsday, prepared to defend himself and make sure that he walks out as the World Heavyweight Champion, I don’t know what to expect.
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan is going to be ready and it doesn’t matter the iteration of Cameron Ella Ava, it’s Cameron who has no idea what Limmy has in store for her. Now, if I were Cameron, I would be quite concerned about what Limmy could mean with that.
(A commercial is shown for Operation: Doomsday, featuring Limmy Monaghan putting his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Cameron Ella Ava.)
(Dynasty fades back from a commercial break where Milli Banks and the Off-Brand Amphetamines – Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane are finding a seat around ringside. The three of them have steel chairs in their possessions. Kirk has a case of beers in his hands. Solomon has a giant cup of popcorn and Milli is looking all pretty as Solomon sets up the chairs.)
Flannery McCoy: It seems like some of our ringside guests are making themselves comfortable
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff begins to blast through the speakers as Madison Kaline walks out. The Queen Bees are following behind her. The four of them showing a bit of unity for their new little alliance forming. The Queen Bees and Madison pay no attention to Milli Banks or the Off-Brand Amphetamines, walking around them and inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT ….AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE QUEEN BEES…FROM TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA…’THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’…MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: This little alliance was brought together after Madison Kaline saw things from Serenity Valdez’ perspective when it comes to the Empress of Elite concept. Madison, being a former Empress of Elite, did not see things from Sienna Jade’s perspective as she tried to tear down the tournament and the former Emrpesses.
Stew-O: Now, what did Sienna Jade think that Madison Kaline was going to respond? Did Sienna really forget or is Sienna arrogant to believe that Madison would not want to see the Queen Bees’ thrive?
Flannery McCoy: Well, it seems like Madison Kaline has embraced a bit of a mentor role for the Queen Bees and most specifically, Serenity Valdez has seen Madison in a new light as Empress of Elite. Empresses need to stick together, I suppose?
(‘Unf*ckwithable’ by Deez Nuts begins to play through the speakers of the First Interstate Arena as Sienna Jade walks out, oozing confidence as always. She’s not phased about the four women across from her. Sienna really doesn’t pay attention to the Off-Brand Amphetamines or Milli Banks, not seeing them as relevant to whatever reason they’re out here.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA…SHE IS ‘THE GREATEST’…SIENNA JADE!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now, here’s the woman, who dared to voice her opinion on the Empress of Elite tournament and gained new targets on her back. One specifically in Serenity Valdez, may or may not be ducking Sienna from a fight. Last week, these two had a confrontation in this ring. Serenity thinks it’s jealousy. Sienna thinks Serenity’s too young and naive and the two of them brawled before Serenity realized her priorities.
Stew-O: She ran away from the fight. Sienna Jade was more than ready for a fight, but Serenity Valdez is not really doing a good job with fighting these coward allegations. First, Milli and now Sienna Jade?
Flannery McCoy: It’s not looking good for Serenity, but Sienna Jade looks to send a message to Serenity Valdez at the expense of her arch rival, Madison Kaline, who has made herself comfortable with the Queen Bees at the moment.
Jake Mercer: SIENNA JADE MAKES A BEELINE FOR SERENITY VALDEZ, WHO WAS STANDING ON THE APRON, TALKING TO MADISION KALINE!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez was able to hope off the apron before Sienna Jade’s fist could connect with her face! BUT, MADISON KALINE ATTACKS THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION FROM BEHIND! MADISON BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON SIENNA WITH A BUNCH OF FRANTIC AND FIERY PUNCHES, BUT THE REFEREE IS NEEDING TO PULL MADISON OFF OF SIENNA! SIENNA IS SCREAMING FOR THE REFEREE TO GAIN CONTROL BACK IN THIS MATCH UP! SIENNA IS HOLDING THE BACK OF HER NECK, TRYING TO FIND HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE DEMANDS FOR THE REFEREE TO RING THE BELL!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline seems to be on the same page when it comes to Sienna Jade as the referee, with zero hesitation, rings for the bell!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: IT SEEMED LIKE BOTH WOMEN HAD THE SAME THING ON THEIR MIND AS THEY CAME AT EACH OTHER, UNLOADING AT PUNCHES! WE SEE MADISON HAS A BIT OF SOME CLAWS, A LITTLE BIT OF HER INNER ‘VIXEN’ IS SHOWING UP AS SHE GRABS SIENNA BY THE BACK OF HER HAIR! WITH HER OTHER HAND, SHE CONNECTS WITH A STIFF LOOKING PUNCH TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! With that, Sienna stumbles back, trying to check her face for any blood, but happily, no blood in sight! Meanwhile, Madison charges right after Sienna with a lou thez press! Madison has her hands on the shoulders of Sienna as she slamming her back against the mat over and over again! Madison pins her!
ONE!
Stew-O: Sienna Jade rolls herself on top of Madison Kaline before unloading on a series of punches on her own! Sienna gets the former Women’s World Champion up to her feet by the back of her head, BUT MADISON CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SLAP ACROSS THE CHEEK OF SIENNA! THIS CAUSES SIENNA TO RELEASE HER GRASP ON MADISON, BUT SIENNA LOOKS TO RETURN THE FAVOR BY SWINGING A PUNCH TO THE SIDE OF MADISON’S FACE, BUT MADISON DUCKS THE PUNCH! SIENNA STUMBLES PAST MADISON! MADISON GRABS SIENNA BY THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND CONNECTS WITH A HAIR-PULL MAT SLAM!
(The Queen Bees are at ringside, applauding Madison Kaline, who is starting to get things going for herself. Madison is feeling good about herself as her sight does not leave Sienna Jade.)
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline gets Sienna Jade up to her feet before Sienna can do that under her own will! Madison gets Sienna by the arm before delivering an irish whip to the corner! Sienna manages to get her hands on each side of the corners as Madison charges right after ‘The Greatest,’ connecting with a ‘hesitation’ dropkick! This causes Sienna to collapse to the ground! Meanwhile, Madison is taking a step back before charging at Sienna, hitting her with a facewash! This causes Sienna’s head to go back! Now, Madison is placing her boot on the side of Sienna’s face! She uses the ropes to add pressure, pressing down on the face even more!
Referee: (no-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Jake Mercer: Madison Kaline doesn’t release there as the referee has to force Madison away from Sienna at the corner!
(Meanwhile, Serenity Valdez swings and gets a punch to the back of Sienna Jade’s head.)
Stew-O: A CHEAPSHOT FROM THE EMPRESS OF ELITE AND RIGHT AWAY, MILLI BANKS RISES UP FROM HER SEAT AS SERENITY VALDEZ IMMEDIATELY BACKS AWAY! THE REFEREE MANAGES TO TURN HER ATTENTION TO SERENITY VALDEZ AND MILLI AT RINGSIDE, BUT THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE WHAT SERENITY WAS DOING AT ALL!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I AM JUST MINDING MY BUSINESS! SHE’S LOOKING TO START THINGS WITH ME!
Milli Banks: :mjpls:
Flannery McCoy: The referee is telling Serenity Valdez and Milli Banks to go back to their opposite sides! This referee is clearly going to have a tough time with keeping the six Elitists at ringside under control! She’s being more patient than me because I would have kicked them all out.
Jake Mercer: Serenity Valdez did nothing wrong, Flann. I love Big Bills Mills like anyone else, but Serenity is trying to observe this match, like Milli, but Milli is looking to start things –
Stew-O: Are you kidding me, Jake? Whatever. Let’s focus on the action inside the ring. Madison Kaline picks up Sienna Jade by underneath her chin and throws her back into the corner! Madison begins to stomp on the stomach of the former Universal Women’s Champion, who seems to be falling back into a seated position, but Madison manages to grab Sienna, hooking her by the arm and connecting with a hip toss! Sienna finds herself in a seated position as Madison gets in front of Sienna, hitting her with a basement dropkick! This causes Sienna to fall back as Madison follows that up with a knee drop as she goes for the cover!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna Jade kicks out! This match is still early, but the factors at ringside have all the possibilities to be a determining factor! The Queen Bees have no fear in meddling in, but Milli Banks and the Off-Brand Amphetamines have been sitting down, making themselves comfortable – at least, the Off-Brand Amphetamines have.
(The camera pans to the Off-Brand Amphetamines and Milli Banks, who are at the bottom of the ramp, watching this match occur. Kirk Redwood has a twelve pack of beer next to his chair as he passes the popcorn to Solomon Stane, who grabs a handful. Then, Solomon extends the popcorn to Milli before it goes back to ringside.)
Jake Mercer: Well, those three are making themselves comfortable. Meanwhile, inside the ring, we see Madison Kaline sitting up Sienna Jade straight before applying a chinlock on ‘The Greatest.’ Madison is getting some trash talking in, but she can feel her grasp loosening up as Sienna is finding the strength to get herself into this match up! It’s been all Madison for a majority of this match up so far! Sienna begins to connect with some elbows to the gut of the ‘Mistress of Death,’ who is doing what she can to make sure to keep Sienna with no offense as possible! The best advice is to not give Sienna a chance to breathe! I think that Madison knows that from a fact! It’s not the first time that these womens have clashed in their careers!
Stew-O: Sienna Jade continues to elbow Madison Kaline in the stomach as she releases herself from the grasp, but Madison is quick to grab Sienna by her wrist, spin her around and connect with a punch, BUT SIENNA DUCKS THE PUNCH BEFORE POSITIONING HERSELF BEHIND MADISON! SIENNA WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF MADISON BEFORE LIFTING HER UP, CONNECTING WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX WITH A BRIDGE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline bridges herself causing Sienna Jade to be bridge up as well! The two women turn themselves around, but it’s Sienna who kicks Madison in the stomach, causing the former Women’s World Champion to bend forward, clutching her stomach in response! Sienna takes a stance before going forward, hitting Madison with a knife edged chop as that takes Madison back! Madison is clutching her chest as she goes back, but Sienna grabs Madison’s wrist before getting her back and connecting with another knife edge chop to the chest! You can see the look of pain on Madison’s face as she goes back to the vertical set of ropes! BUT, SIENNA, WITH A GRIN ON HER FACE, CHARGES RIGHT AFTER MADISON AND DIGS HER NAILS AND RACKS ONTO MADISON’S BACK! MADISON SHRIEKS IN PAIN! GEE, I HEARD THAT SIENNA HAD THOSE NAILS FILED EARLIER TODAY!
Jake Mercer: I can confirm. I saw her with a metal nail file backstage.
Stew-O: Thank you for your in-depth research, Jake. I mean, just look at the scratch on the back of Madison Kaline!
(We see the scratches on Madison Kaline’s back – from her shoulders, down to the small on her back, are beginning to welt up. But, Madison is doing what she can to make sure that it does not throw off her focus in the match.)
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think that’s the back rack that anyone would want, but Sienna Jade looks back at Madison Kaline with a smirk on her face, but Madison doesn’t seem to be so –Madison launches herself at Sienna, BUT SIENNA RACES BEHIND THE REFEREE’S BACK! SHE’S DEMANDING THAT OUR REFEREE GET MADISON AWAY FROM HER! MADISON DOESN’T LOOK TO BE IN THE MOOD FOR THIS AT ALL!
(Serenity Valdez is trying to give Madison Kaline some advice, giving her a bit of support on how to handle Sienna Jade. Sienna is gesturing for Serenity to get inside the ring and finish off the situation that they left off last week, but Serenity is shooing Sienna away, claiming that it’s not the time for it.)
Jake Mercer: Madison Kaline tries to use that little opening that Serenity Valdez had provided for her and swings a punch to the former Universal Women’s Champion! But, Sienna Jade ducks the punch as she connects with a back kick to Madison’s stomach! She gets Madison by her wrist, pulling her for an Irish whip at the corner! Madison crashes spine first against the turnbuckle as Sienna connects with a beautiful-looking running dropkick to the corner! SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE STOMACH OF MADISON BEFORE EXTENDING HER LEG UP HIGH, CONNECTING WITH AN EXTENDED FOOT CHOKE TO MADISON AT THE CORNER! WITH THAT, SHE’S WAVING AT SERENITY VALDEZ AND THE QUEEN BEES AT RINGSIDE!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HER, SIENNA!
Stew-O: Did you see that Madison Kaline’s feet were dangling off the mat? That was pretty neat there, but Sienna Jade gets Madison by the arm before throwing her forward with an O-goshi judo throw! But, she maintains control of the wrist as she pulls Madison again for a judo throw! But, she maintains possession of the wrist again, BUT MADISON IS TRYING TO ROLL HERSELF INTO AN ALL FOURS POSITION! SHE IS TRYING TO PULL HER WRIST AWAY FROM THE GRASP OF SIENNA, BUT SIENNA CONNECTS KICKS MADISON’S FACE IN, CAUSING FOR THE FORMER EMPRESS OF ELITE TO FALL ON HER FACE, BUT SIENNA STILL HAS MADISON’S WRIST BEFORE FLIPPING HERSELF OVER AND CONNECTING WITH A FUJIWARA ARMBAR! IS SHE LOOKING TO GET A SUBMISSION VICTORY HERE?
(Serenity Valdez is looking at the bottom rope, getting a closer look of Madison Kaline having the fujiwara armbar applied to her.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) COME ON, MADISON! GIVE US THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! GIVE US THE HALL OF FAMER! GIVE IS THE FORMER EMPRESS OF ELITE!
(At this point, Serenity Valdez has gotten carried away and slides herself underneath the ring, close enough to touch Madison Kaline, but feels her ankles being yanked out of the ring. It’s revealed to be the Off-Brand Amphetamines who are making sure that the Queen Bees don’t insert themselves into this match. Milli Banks is sitting in the middle chair, looking at the whole thing with zero amusement on her face.)
Milli Banks: 🥱
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) We’re not watching a Milli match. No need to yawn.
Milli Banks: (off-mic) Why don’t we make that happen, Seren-ren? :mjgrin:
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) You (positions her hand low). Me (positions her other hand high). Not worth my time.
Milli Banks: :mjpls:
Jake Mercer: What I would do to be within the area of that conversation. The gossip, the tea, the scoop that Brian Meltzer would DIE to have. :noah:
Stew-O: Meanwhile, inside the ring, you can see that Madison Kaline is clawing her nails deep into the mat as she tries to drag her body into the bottom rope and…SHE CLUTCHES onto it! Sienna Jade releases the hold as the wheels begin to turn on her head! She demands for Madison to get back up to her feet! Madison is using the top rope as assistance to get herself up to her feet! SHE CHARGES RIGHT AFTER ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’ WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE, KNOCKING MADISON TO A SEATED POSITION! SIENNA GETS MADISON UP, PULLING HER CLOSER AND CONNECTS WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! BUT, SHE BEGINS TO APPLY A CAMEL CLUTCH TO MADISON, LOOKING DEAD INTO THE EYE OF SERENITY VALDEZ AND THE REST OF THE QUEEN BEES AS SHE IS APPLYING THE SUBMISSION HOLD! YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE STRUGGLE ON MADISON’S FACE AS SIENNA WRENCHES HER CHIN UP, APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE HOLD!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline, with a sign of struggle on her face, but she refuses to go down! She would love nothing more than to get that victory over Sienna Jade! Sienna is standing over Madison as she begins to connect with fists to the top of Madison’s head! Gosh, Sienna grabs a fistfull of Madison’s red hair and pulls her back! Sienna is going to apply a grounded sleeperhold with bodyscissors applied around the waist of Madison! Is Sienna looking to make Madison tap out once again? You can see the frantic look on Madison’s face as she had no idea that Sienna was going to bring out this submission! Sienna is looking to weaken Madison Kaline anyway that she knows! She –
Jake Mercer: SERENITY VALDEZ SLIDES INTO THE RING AND TO MADISON KALINE, BUT THE REFEREE ENDS UP STOPPING HER, GOING OVER TO TELL SIERRA TO GET OUT OF THE RING! BUT, LOOK INSIDE THE RING – SIERRA BRADFORD DROPS A KNEE TO THE FOREHEAD OF SIENNA JADE! MEI SASAKI PUSHES MADISON AWAY FROM SIENNA AS SIERRA IS BEHIND SIENNA! MEI IS IN FRONT OF SIENNA – HIGH AND LOW! A SICK KICK/SIT OUT CLOSELINE COMBINATION THAT TAKES DOWN SIENNA! THE TWO MEMBERS OF THE QUEEN BEES GET OUT OF THE RING AS THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES AND MILLI BANKS RISE UP FROM THEIR SEATS AND GO AFTER THE QUEEN BEES! BUT, THE QUEEN BEES MANAGE TO HOP OVER THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, inside the ring, Madison Kaline finds herself in a crawling position as she goes over to pin Sienna Jade!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRR–
Flannery McCoy: Sienna Jade gets a shoulder up as Madison Kaline does not look to be amused with the situation! Personally, I think Madison doesn’t think that she needs the Queen Bees, but if she saw the opening to pin Sienna was there, she was going to take it no doubt! This woman is unpredictable and the deeper that we get to this match up, we see the worst of Madison creep up! Madison looks to apply a waistlock on ‘The Greatest,’ but Sienna is not letting Madison take her back for a German suplex! Sienna is doing what she can to keep her feet planted on the ground! BUT, MADISON BEGINS TO HEADBUTT THE BACK OF SIENNA’S SKULL! THIS CAUSES THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION TO STUMBLE TO HER KNEES AS MADISON DEADLIFTS SIENNA UP FOR THAT GERMAN SUPLEX! SIENNA FALLS TO HER BACK AS MADISON TAKES QUITE A DISTANCE BETWEEN HER AND SIENNA, GESTURING FOR SIENNA TO GET BACK TO HER FEET –
Jake Mercer: Madison Kaline charges at Sienna Jade with a front dropkick as that takes Sienna back to one of the corners! Sienna is trying to stand herself straight at the corner, but Madison runs after Sienna, following that with a body splash! Sienna stumbles forward as Madison channels ‘Maddie’ by connecting with a belly-to-belly suplex! Madison with the cover!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: SIENNA JADE STILL ALIVE AND KICKING IN THIS MATCH UP! MADISON KALINE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF FRANTIC, BUT AGGRESSIVE PUNCHES TO THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! SHE GETS SIENNA UP TO HER FEET BEFORE REBOUNDING HER OFF THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! MADISON LOOKS TO GO FOR A HIP TOSS, BUT SIENNA COUNTERS WITH AN ARM DRAG AS SHE SENDS ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’ FLYING ACROSS THE RING! Wobbly, Sienna finds her way back to her feet! Madison is joining her soon after as Sienna runs after Madison, but Madison ducks whatever Sienna was going to hit her, springboards off the middle rope – SIENNA NAILS A GIANT BOOT TO THE FACE OF MADISON FROM MID-AIR! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SIENNA DO THAT? MADISON LOOKS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, BUT SIENNA IS NOT LOOKING TO END THE MATCH HERE! SHE GETS MADISON AND THROWS HER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline got thrown to the side where the Off-Brand Amphetamines and Milli Banks are. :lupe:
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) I don’t think that she’s alive.
(Kirk Redwood gently pokes Madison Kaline’s side with his shoe, but no sign of movement from Madison.)
Kirk Redwood: (off-mic) One way to find out. :mjgrin:
Jake Mercer: KIRK REDWOOD JUST POURED HIS CAN OF BEER ON THE UNCONSCIOUS BODY OF MADISON KALINE, BUT IT’S NOT UNCONSCIOUS ANYMORE AS MADISON IS SCREAMING! NOW, HOW DOES THAT NOT SCREAM A DISQUALIFICATION? THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALL! THIS IS AN INJUSTICE TO MADISON!
Stew-O: Kirk Redwood didn’t physically touch Madison Kaline like Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford did. If the referee would have caught those two attacking Sienna Jade earlier in the match, that would have been a disqualification for sure. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT BEER WOKE UP MADISON, WHO IS SPRINGING UP TO HER FEET AS SHE IS LOOKING AT KIRK REDWOOD, ALMOST READY TO RIP HIM A NEW–WELL, I CAN’T SAY THAT WORD, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE ALL SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW I WANTED TO END THAT SENTENCE. KIRK IS EXTENDING SOME BEER AT MADISON’S DIRECTION AS MADISON SPITS WHATEVER BEER RESIDUE WAS IN HER MOUTH AT KIRK!
Flannery McCoy: WITH THAT ROOM OF DISTRACTION, SIENNA JADE SHOVES MADISON KALINE, WHO SHOVES KIRK REDWOOD AS MILLI BANKS ENDS UP IN THE COLLISION AS WELL! BUT, SIENNA ONLY SEEMS TO BE FOCUSED ON MADISON AS SHE GRABS MADISON AND THROWS HER TO THE BARRICADE! Sienna turns around as she looks at Solomon Stane standing! He is extending the giant cup of popcorn towards Sienna, who scuffs at him. She turns her attention back to Madison who is getting herself back to her feet, but Sienna shoves her back to the barricade again! She sees that Serenity Valdez is looking at Mei Sasaki, her so-called pupil, telling her “not to take a closer step” before she gets Madison by her arm and whips her to the edge of the apron! Madison collides stomach first on the edge of the apron as she collapses to the ground! Sienna places Madison on top of the apron as she gets on the apron soon after! She picks up Madison and places her in position –
Jake Mercer: IS SIENNA JADE GOING FOR A ‘CLAPBACK’ – THE BACK-TO-BACK BACKBREAKER! HER EYES GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE QUEEN BEES BEFORE SHE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘CLAPBACK’ AS MADISON KALINE FALLS FACE FIRST! Sienna rolls Madison back inside the ring! Meanwhile, Sienna rises back to her feet as she stares at the women before making her way back inside the ring! It seems like Sienna has ending this match on her mind as she gets Madison up to her feet again! I think that Sienna is going for the ‘RDG’ – the bridging fisherman suplex, BUT MADISON IS ABLE TO BLOCK THE FINISHER AS SHE DROPS TO A KNEE! SIENNA BEGINS TO THROW SOME PUNCHES TO THE BACK OF MADISON’S NECK BEFORE PULLING HER IN – ‘RDG!’
Stew-O: No, Madison Kaline jumps out of position before delivering a knee to the gut of ‘The Greatest!’ SIENNA JADE CLUTCHES HER STOMACH IN PAIN BEFORE MADISON GETS HER INTO POSITION FOR THE ‘M.O.D.’ – THE LEG-DROP BULLDOG ON SIENNA! IS THIS GOING TO BE WHAT MADISON NEEDS TO PUT AWAY HER RIVAL?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: No! Sienna Jade with a kick out! Madison Kaline gets to her feet as she’s demanding for Sienna to get back to her feet! She begins to distance herself up at the first sign of Sienna rising up to her feet before running after the former Universal Women’s Champion! ‘AFTERLIFE’ – THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL – BUT SIENNA SPRINGS UP, CONNECTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK THAT SENDS MADISON DOWN! SIENNA KIPS UP TO HER FEET AS RUNS AFTER MADISON, CONNECTING WITH A SHINING WIZARD THAT SENDS THE FORMER WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPION TO HER BACK! SIENNA IS STARTING TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF HERE AS SHE IS LOOKING FOR TOP ROPE! I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING ‘STARSTRUCK’ – HER VARIATION OF THE MOONSAULT! SIENNA GETS HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE, BUT —
(We see that Mei Sasaki is on the apron. Sienna Jade is able to catch her before Mei pulls off some funny business. On the other side of Sienna, Sierra Bradford grabs her by the ankle, trying to bring her down, but Sienna is keeping herself in position.)
Jake Mercer: It’s so nice that the alliance between Madison Kaline and the Queen Bees is showing a bit throughout this match, but Milli Banks is yanking Sierra Bradford down from the apron! Meanwhile, Serenity Valdez springs up to defend her stablemates and gets into the face of Milli Banks! As always, these women begin to bicker with one another as Sienna Jade is yelling at them to take their business elsewhere! BUT, LOOK AT THE VETERAN INSTINCT FROM MADISON KALINE, WHO JUMPS ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND SIENNA! SHE PULLS SIENNA OFF THE TOP ROPE – GERMAN SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE! SIENNA GETS SENT FLYING ACROSS THE RING! MADISON SEES A BEAUTIFUL OPENING AS SHE RUNS AFTER SIENNA WITH ‘AFTERLIFE,’ BUT – SIENNA DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE, BUT GETS MADISON IN POSITION YET AGAIN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE SECOND ‘CLAPBACK’ IN THIS MATCH! SHE GETS MADISON AND PLACES HER HEAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE OF A HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AND THE ROPES AWAY FROM THE QUEEN BEES AND MILLI BANKS, WHO HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER!
Stew-O: SIENNA JADE PULLS MADISON KALINE THROUGH THOSE MIDDLE ROPES AND BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF KNEE STRIKES TO THE FACE OF MADISON! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! MADISON IS THROWN BACK INSIDE THE RING, BUT SIENNA HAS A SMIRK FORMED ON HER FACE! SHE IS NOW LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH WITH MADISON WITH A ‘RAW SIENNA,’ POSSIBLY?
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I don’t know why you’re out here. You’re obsessed, Milli.
Milli Banks: (off-mic) If I’m so “obsessed,” why don’t you put an end to that obsession and face me or are you a coward?
(Sienna Jade turns to her side. She sees Serenity Valdez and Milli Banks arguing with each other. Sienna is clearly not amused with each other.)
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) BOTH OF YOU NEED TO GET THE [CENSORED] OUT OF HERE! THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYONE HERE!!!!!
Milli Banks: (off-mic) I’m trying to look out for you so ‘Coconut Head’ and the rest of the Queen [Censored] don’t be trying to start [censored] here.
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) She’s right. There’s no need for *you* to be here, Milli. Get out.
Milli Banks: (off-mic) She means you too, dummy.
(While Milli Banks and Serenity Valdez get into another argument, Sienna Jade replaces her focus back in the match with Madison Kaline.)
Flannery McCoy: Sienna Jade sees Madison Kaline making it back to her feet as she jumps on the top rope before springboarding off it, hitting that dropkick – ‘Raw Sienna’ on Madison! But, Madison is able to move out of the way as Sienna crashes down! I think that might have been the best thing that Madison might have done for her chances in this match tonight! Sienna was too caught up by the arguing at ringside that it threw her off her game! Now, it seems like the Off-Brand Amphetamines and Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki are staring down each other as Solomon Stane passes the giant cup of popcorn towards the Queen Bees –
Jake Mercer: SIERRA BRADFORD GRABS THE POPCORN, BUT SHE SHOVES IT BACK TO SOLOMON STANE’S FACE, BUT KIRK REDWOOD RESPONDS QUICKLY BY TAKING A SIP OF HIS BEER BOTTLE AND SPITS DIRECTLY AT SIERRA’S FACE! I CAN’T SEEM TO IMAGINE HOW MANY GERMS ARE IN THAT MAN’S MOUTH ALONE! MEI SASAKI SHOVES KIRK REDWOOD, WHO GETS SHOVED INTO SOLOMON STANE, BUT SOLOMON BACK HANDS MEI AS SIERRA BEGINS TO LOOK UP AT THE TALLER ELITIST AS SHE LOOKS TO THROW A PUNCH! BUT, SOLOMON SLAMS A BEER BOTTLE TO HER FOREHEAD! NOW, ALL HECK DECIDES TO BREAK LOOSE AS THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES AND ⅔ OF THE QUEEN BEES BEGIN TO CLASH AT RINGSIDE! THE CROWD IS GOING FRANTIC AS SERENITY VALDEZ LOOKS TO GO TO THE AID OF HER STABLEMATES, BUT MILLI BANKS PULLS SERENITY CLOSER BEFORE SLAMMING HER BACK! MILLI GETS SERENITY BY HER HAIR AND THROWS HER BACK INTO OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!
Stew-O: As we focus on the action inside the ring, Madison Kaline and Sienna Jade are racing to see who gets to their feet first and Madison seems to beat Sienna to the punch as she gets Sienna and connects with the ‘M.O.D.’ – the leg-drop bulldog on Sienna – BUT, SIENNA SPOTTED THAT MOVE COMING! SHE HAS MADISON BY HER WRIST AS SHE PULLS HER CLOSER, NAILING A ‘WITCHES HAMMER’ AS MADISON GETS TAKEN DOWN AGAIN! WE SEE THAT SIENNA IS LOOKING TO GO FOR THE ‘RDG’ ONCE MORE –
(Sienna Jade stops as she ducks her head through the middle rope and into the outside. She is talking to six Elitists at ringside, who are clashing, but they are ignoring Sienna. They have no clue about Sienna being upset.)
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) DID I ALREADY TELL YOU TO LEAVE??
(Nothing.)
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) LEAVE ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE RUNINING MY –
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline manages to roll up Sienna Jade! Madison has Sienna by her tights as the referee begins to count!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘O Fortuna’ begins to play again as Madison Kaline looks to be in shock that Sienna Jade managed to stay down for the three count. Sienna is in shock and anger at what just happened. Due to the arguing at ringside and the mess throughout the match, it was enough for Madison to see her opening and capitalize on the madness.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…MADISON KALINE!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Madison Kaline got a victory at Sienna Jade, BUT SIENNA BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON MADISON! MADISON’S CELEBRATION IS SHORT-LIVED AS THE SERENITY VALDEZ RACES TO THE AID OF MADISON! SHE CLUBS SIENNA IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH HER SCEPTOR! MADISON AND SERENITY BEGIN TO STOMP ON THE DOWN BODY OF SIENNA! BUT, MILLI ROLLS INTO THE RING AND SHE PICKS UP SERENITY’S ROYAL SCEPTOR AS SHE SWINGS IT AT THE SPINE OF SERENITY! MADISON TRIES TO COME TO SERENITY’S AID, BUT MILLI SWINGS IT TO THE GUT OF MADISON! MILLI BEGINS TO HIT SERENITY WITH THE SCEPTOR AS THE CROWD IS GOING CRAZY! WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE QUEEN BEES?
(The camera pans to the Off-Brand Amphetamines with steel chairs in their possessions. Solomon Stane rams the rounded part of the steel chair onto the stomach of Sierra Bradford. Sierra falls down to an all fours position as Solomon slams the steel chair onto the spine of Sierra! Mei beats down Kirk Redwood and slams him head back against the steel steps! Mei looks underneath the ring and then, gets a kendo stick in her position as she looks to slam Solomon in the spine, but it doesn’t cause Solomon to respond.)
Stew-O: What was Mei Sasaki thinking there? Solomon Stane is turning around as Mei looks like she’s staring down against the devil himself. Solomon grabs the kendo stick that she previously had her hands on and snaps it with his thigh! :damn: This man is a freak of nature! BUT, BEHIND SOLOMON – IT’S MADISON KALINE, WHO JUMPS ON SOLOMON’S BACK LIKE SHE’S A CHILD! SHE IS APPLYING A SLEEPERHOLD AS MEI CONNECTS WITH A CHOPBLOCK, TAKING THE BIGGER MAN DOWN! MADISON AND MEI ARE STOMPING ON SOLOMON, BUT LOOK FROM BEHIND –
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA JADE GRABS ONE OF THOSE STEEL CHAIRS THAT THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES WERE SITTING ON AND SLAMS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE BACK OF MEI SASAKI’S SPINE! MADISON GOES RIGHT AFTER SIENNA, BUT SIENNA SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE GUT OF THE FORMER WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPION! BUT, SERENITY IS GOING RIGHT AFTER SIENNA, TAKING HER DOWN WITH A METEORA FROM THE TOP ROPE! SERENITY GETS HER PUNCHES THROWN ON THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! AND NOW, THE QUEEN BEES AND MADISON KALINE ARE ATTACKING SIENNA LIKE A PACK OF RABID DOGS!
Jake Mercer: THIS IS THEIR LITTLE FRIENDSHIP AT ITS FINEST, FLANNERY, BUT LOOK AT MILLI BANKS! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON THE QUEEN BEES! MILLI CONNECTS WITH THE ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’ ON THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN MAKING HER LIFE A LIVING NIGHTMARE FOR MONTHS AND ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’ WHO HAS ASSOCIATED HERSELF WITH THEM! Milli is checking on Solomon Stane! She is checking on Kirk Redwood, who raises a beer bottle, ready to go in for another brawl! Kirk looks like he’s ready for a bar fight! Solomon is getting to his feet as he stares down at the Queen Bees!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏👏
(The Off-Brand Amphetamines, Milli Banks and Sienna Jade are at one side. The Queen Bees and Madison Kaline are at the other. The two sides are staring down at each other, more than ready to brawl it out.)
Stew-O: AND, THEY’RE OFF!!!!!!!! SOLOMON STANE WITH MEI SASAKI! KIRK REDWOOD WITH SIERRA BRADFORD! SIENNA JADE WITH MADISON KALINE! MILLI BANKS WITH SERENITY VALDEZ! THE CROWD IS GOING COMPLETELY BALLISTIC AS I’M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH FIGURING OUT WHERE TO EVEN PAY ATTENTION! HOW DO ALL EIGHT OF THESE ELITISTS HAVE ISSUES WITH EACH OTHER?
Jake Mercer: This is one issue that we need someone like Jerry Springer to settle or something! Anyone got his number?
Flannery McCoy: We don’t have time, Jake! I’m being told to sign off for the night! We’d love to see how all of this pans out, but we’re out of time! Signing off on behalf of Jake and Stew, I’m Flannery McCoy! Goodnight from Billings!
