(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty opens up to a recap of last week’s show: Limmy Monaghan celebrates his title defense and Cameron Ella Ava comes out to congratulate her, only for Scott Diamond to come out as well, with both him and Limmy making a World Heavyweight Championship match official for Grand Rampage. Shane Gates gets a win over Axel Graves. Caroline talks about her next defense only to be accepted by Jamie Cross, Caroline is not happy seeing the resemblance between the two that she would come out to the ring, but Jamie holds her ground and says after she beats Korey Gaines tonight she is going to prove she deserves a shot at the New Breed Championship. Milli Banks talks about challenging the winner of ARIA and Sierra Everett at Tempest for the Specialists Championship, before Ayu Megumi comes out to defend her friend and tag team partner. A match happens between the two where Milli gets the victory. The Queen Bees have a promo inside the ring which is interrupted by Cameron Ella Ava, the three of them jump the Hall of Famer and leave her laid out before taking their leave. Jamie Cross gets a win over Korey Gaines. Joso complains about Scott Diamond getting a World Title shot to Tyrone Montgomery, with Tyrone telling him Scott got there first and the only way Joso can get one is if he wins the Grand Rampage match, which he begrudgingly accepts. Ruler takes out his tag team partner Mercer McKay allowing the Off-Brand Amphetamines to get the win before Ruler lays the two of them out as well, getting on the microphone and saying that he’s entering the Grand Rampage match. Tyrone Montgomery holds a Grand Rampage entry drawing with various Elitists participating and giving their reactions. Jay Jerry Johnson gets the win over Ronan Malosi. Soul Food Sunday have their promo interrupted by POTARA who look to get the next shot at the Unified Tag Team Championships, which the Champions accept for Grand Rampage. Jay Jerry Johnson costs PJ Hendrx his match against Bronson Daniels as the Interwire Champion and his challenger have a staredown before the show fades away and the recap comes to a close.)
(The camera then goes to a shot of the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, West Virginia while a clean version ‘P.A.T’ by Denzel Curry is heard playing through the speakers. An elaborate display of pyro is seen erupting at the stage while the camera goes to a shot of the hyped up crowd here tonight who show their excitement on full display. It then goes to the commentary booth where the usual team of Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are then seen standing by.)
Stew-O: With more and more unfolding, the hype cannot be more real for the Grand Rampage Marquee Event. There’s so much left to behold though, as we welcome you tonight to another jam-packed episode… of FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!
Flannery McCoy: And what a night we have for you today. With not one, but TWO Grand Rampage matches underway tonight. The first one pitting Ruler, Axel Graves, Solomon Stane, and Shane Gates against one another. The second one having Bronson-
Jake Mercer: THE SECOND ONE HAVING THE EVER-SO DESPICABLE BRONSON DANIELS IN IT!!! Along with that having Joso, Kirk Redwood, and Madison Kaline as well!
Flannery McCoy: … Along with that, headlining the show we have a rematch from a month back, with Jay Jerry Johnson facing off against Scott Diamond, both of them contenders for the Interwire Championship and World Heavyweight Championship respectively! Both of them are at the cusp of becoming potential Champions, could we see one of them get the edge over one another?
Stew-O: That remains to be seen, but right now, let’s open the show as we kick off with a team that everyone was hoping to see tonight!
(Slowly the camera begins to pan away from the commentary desk as we reach a shot from the rafters of the arena, looking down upon the ring and the stage. Eventually, the sound from a microphone would be heard…)
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce… THE JADED HEAAAAARTS!!!!!!!
(Quickly, the crowd would burst into a fit of noise, as Stephie Love mutters the name of one of the most successful tag teams to ever lace up a pair of boots. That noise would be mostly negative, though, it’s almost impossible for every living human being to truly *despise* a team like that, yet, it comes exceedingly close. The camera would continue to pan around the arena, before eventually it settles on a shot of the stage itself from the bottom of the ramp. Moments later, ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé blares through the speakers, as the graphics quickly change from Dynasty’s, to Kassidy Heart’s. Moments later, the camera would begin to fade up to that of one on the stage, as Kassidy Heart would begin to step out of the curtains. Slowly panning up from her exposed legs, through her designer accessories and clothing, eventually reaching her face; the camera would display Kassidy Heart’s arrival on the Dynasty brand presenting her like the star she always has been. With a smirk on her face, Kassidy would begin to walk down the ramp, hands on her hips, while the crowd gives her an extremely mixed reaction. Kassidy makes her way to the metal stud at the end of the ramp, before stopping, as she stands at the far left of the camera, clearly making space on her right…)
Stew-O: For the first time in over a year, the Jaded Hearts are making their way down the ramp on the Dynasty brand, first beginning with Kass… but I can only assume…
(As Kassidy’s theme begins to fade out, ‘Unf**kwithable’ by Deez Nuts hits the speakers, as the graphics fade away from that of Kassidy’s, now displaying Sienna Jade’s graphics. The camera would pan away from Kassidy Heart, and slowly make it’s way back up to the stage, as before long, Sienna Jade would walk out through the curtains also. Sienna would stand at the top of the stage, however instead of posing, she would simply bask in the heat from the crowd. Eventually, she would begin to make her way down the ramp, as instead of seeing fans have different reactions, it’s pure hatred; not even the few that tolerate Kass can remain on Sienna’s side, especially after the past few months. Which, is likely what Sienna wants, and Kassidy really doesn’t care either. Eventually, Sienna would make her way to the bottom of the ramp, where she fills in the gap in the camera that Kassidy had left, before placing her arm around Kassidy’s shoulder. The two would eventually walk together, the camera tracing their movement, as they both walk up the steel steps. Before long, they step through the ropes, entering the ring, where Sienna’s theme begins to fade out. Eventually, the two would grab a microphone each, as they await the crowd cooling down.)
Sienna Jade: So… :mjgrin:
Kassidy Heart: I take it you want me to start? :mjgrin:
(Sienna Jade chuckles and shrugs, as Kassidy Heart smiles back and stands in the center of the ring, directly in view of the hard-cam.)
Kassidy Heart: These past few weeks sure have been pretty eventful, and it really does have a completely different aura when your sole focus isn’t trying to find which coward cheap shot me. I mean, besides hearing people say I am wayyyy above their pay grade, it sure does sound great hearing blatant confirmation that the minute ‘The Mauler’s’ name is thrown into the mix people tuck their tail between their legs. Though, that really doesn’t take away from it all. Being able to take time out of my day and stand here next to Sienna once more, it truly does bring a smile upon my face. Though, how could I not? I find it pretty difficult to stand and just watch somebody try to end that woman’s career, anyone who knows me knows that when there is something I truly care about, truly **desire**? There’s no man or woman that will stop me from getting it. In that case, it was Sienna Jade.
Sienna Jade: So true bestie :blessed:. It’s really crazy that we both have to sit here and deal with cowards trying to take us out, huh? When you have Serenity unrightfully standing above you when it should be below you, taking steel to your neck, it truly is frustrating, but we could never have upholded the legacy of being the greatest tag team of all time if we weren’t above all of that even while not having been active for quite some time. Same thing happened last year. Look at the High Rollerz. (2nd) Greatest tag team reunion of the year, squandered, after they wanted to kill any doubt about said legacy. Anyone who dares challenge that, intentionally, or unintentionally, they come to fall. Not us though. Even after a whole year, even after our own personal battles, we’re back with a whole new goal in mind. What is it we see now, Kass? A much more developed tag team division, a much more developed opportunity.
Kassidy Heart: Key word; opportunity. It’s not just a much more developed tag team division, it’s shinier rubble underneath our feet. It’s inevitable that we reign supreme, it’s inevitable we make our way back up to the top, it just makes it so much more impressive when the talent we have to work with is much better than whatever last year was trying to be. Not that I entirely trust teams like DOMINION and POTARA to last, obviously. :mjpls: It was a week ago that the latter came out to accept Soul Food Sunday’s challenge, but don’t get anything twisted. Kassidy Heart in a Grand Rampage, away from Soul Food Sunday, focusing on multiple different things at once, doesn’t mean I don’t have an eye on that either. I’m a woman who loves to keep up with this business, almost as if it were a necessity – you need to know the kingdom of which you rule – and I can promise you, I am keeping an eye on that match.
Sienna Jade: You definitely aren’t alone there either, Kass, because who doesn’t loooove gold around our these perfect waists, am I right? Unified Tag Team Gold is no different, so neither team should get comfortable regardless of the result. Pain For Pride could so easily be the Weekend of the Jaded Hearts, and that’s what we have to look out for. By “we” I mean EVERYBODY HERE. I came back and in my first marquee, I became World Champion. Don’t believe that we can’t close this entire season on top? Can’t wait to prove you wrong again. Neither Soul Food Sunday nor POTARA will believe it, but they should absolutely expect it.
(As Sienna Jade goes to continue talking… ‘Run This Town’ by Jay-Z ft. Rihanna would hit the speakers, as a loud, audible groan would be heard, not just from the crowd, but from Sienna Jade also. The crowd would turn to the stage, as Serenity Valdez would step through the curtains. At first, everybody expects Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford to follow, however, neither do. It would just be Serenity Valdez. Serenity would make her way down the ramp, holding a microphone in one hand, as she holds up the other, signalling to the legendary tag team that she’s not here with violence in mind, she’s here in peace… as peaceful as you can get with Serenity. Nonetheless, Serenity would make her way up the steps, and enter the ring, slowly, as to not set off Kass and Sienna. She knows it’s dangerous territory she’s stepping into, but she still has something to stay. Before long, her theme song fades out.)
Serenity Valdez: Alright, alright, listen. Back off a little. I’m not here for a fight. If I was coming out to brawl with you guys, I’d tell Mei and Sierra to follow me as backup :mjgrin:. I’m not here to start anything.
(Sienna and Kass stare at one another, neither truly trusting it, though they know they hold the power in the ring, and step back momentarily. Serenity stands in the middle, as she begins to speak up.)
Serenity Valdez: Now, I’ll cut right to the chase. I won’t waste any of your time, it’ll do us all worse rather than better. Instead… I came out here with a business proposal, a one-time offer. A special attraction if you will. I get it, we aren’t on the best of terms, but I know something for a fact. Neither one of you have the best history with Cam, the Ava’s, nor the Ava-O’Hara’s for that matter. Neither one of you are on Cam’s good side. Everything that has happened between us in recent memory, we are most definitely not on the best of terms either, but… perhaps we started off on the wrong foot! Maybe we just have similar ideals! Maybe we can let bigones be bigones, maybe we can just ignore all of that, sweep it under the rug, and start anew. After all… an enemy of my enemy is my friend, huh?
(The crowd would boo heavily, as Serenity has a welcoming-yet-pleading expression on her face, clearly trying to shave away at her enemies. Kass and Sienna look at each other again, before back at Serenity.)
Serenity Valdez: Look, the fact is, we don’t like Cam, the fact is, we all want to be on top. You mentioned “legacy” right? We want that TOO! Us Queen Bees are FOCUSED on that, and instead of cutting each other at the ankles, why not make the best of both worlds? There’s always a slot in the Queen Bees for people like yourselves, and we could so easily become a super team. Cam? No problem. Milli 🤢? Easy peasy. Off-Brand Amphetamines? Done. Even POTARA, and Soul Food Sunday, anyone else in our way! We could knock them all down. We would even have *fantastic* morale, after all, look at you guys’ history with Mei! We’d be like a team like none other…. The Jaded Bee Hearts!!!!
(Serenity Valdez has a giant grin on her face, showing her teeth, as she passionately gives this “business proposition.” Once more, Kass and Sienna look at one another, and shrug, giving Serenity a bright light in her eyes, a symbol of hope-)
Sienna Jade & Kassidy Heart: NO!
(-which is then immediately shattered, transferring into a look of disappointment, and worry.)
Sienna Jade: Don’t get me wrong, Serenity, you’re right. NONE of us like Cameron Ella Ava….
Serenity Valdez:…aaaand?
Kassidy Heart: And that’s where you being “right” ends.
Serenity Valdez: :francis:
Sienna Jade: We don’t have any other similarities following that. We’re not going for the same thing, we’re not on the same wavelength. Quite frankly, from the looks of things, you’re just one more person in our way. We don’t need to reduce ourselves to getting all buddy-buddy with someone like you in order to accomplish our goal. You’d be a relative extra, a damn background character, a metaphorical and literal eyesore on the beauty of what makes Jaded Hearts so damn good. Last time this happened, Serenity, it didn’t work well whatsoever, and this time is absolutely no different.
Kassidy Heart: I can assure you, Serenity, of one thing. The Queen Bees are NOT the driving motivation behind our return, you are nothing more than a bump in the road, and if you dare let our paths cross once more, we will handle business when the time comes. I don’t think that will end well for you whatsoever. Right now, though? We’re focused on one thing. Championship gold. You are utterly worthless to me, utterly worthless to Sienna, and utterly worthless to the legacy of the Jaded Hearts.
(Serenity Valdez shakes her head, looking down at the mat, and sighing.)
Serenity Valdez: Welp, you did have the easy way out right there. *Sigh.* Oh well. I can’t promise that we’ll stay out of your way en route to your Championship gold there, Kass. After all, we all have similar goals here. I’m sure every road you take, we’ll be there, it’s hard to not get away from us given we’re going to accomplish everything there is to accomplish. Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford both want to gain the Unified Tag Team Championships just as much, hell, perhaps even more than you two. And if it’s World Championship Gold you’re after instead? Another pillar on your accolades? Just a reminder that I am THE EMPRESS of this company, someone who will go down as the GREATEST Empress of this company. And when I do just that? You might just have to run into me.
Sienna Jade: Oh, poor Serenity. We won’t just run *into* you. We will run *through* you. There is no doubt about it.
Kassidy Heart: So, whether it be your little lap dogs, or you yourself – wearing a crown that doesn’t fit as well as when I wore one myself – just know that it won’t be “enemy of my enemy is my friend.” We will absolutely be the greatest enemy you will ever face.
(Kassidy and Sienna stare a hole through Serenity, as Serenity scowls at the both of them, disgusted that everything went the way that it did here. Serenity shakes her head, as ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé hits the speakers, and Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade begin to walk past her. They slip through the ropes, and drop down from the apron, as they turn their back to Serenity, making their way up the ramp, leaving her in the ring. She doesn’t take an eye off of either of the, though, watching their every step, still scowling. Eventually, the camera would fade elsewhere…)
(A commercial is shown for Super Dynasty, happening on April 28th.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Survival Tactics’ by Joey Bada$$ and Capital STEEZ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos. Keogo Leoso would appear on the ramp. He has a smile on his face as this might be one of the biggest matches of his career up to this point as he walks down the ramp and enters into the ring, backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is The ‘SAMOAN STREET BRAWLER!!!!!!!’ KEOOOOOOGOOOOOOOOO LEOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(From there, ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar then begins to play and the crowd explodes in overwhelming cheers, as the Interwire Champion; PJ Hendrx enters out onto the stage! He has the title around his waist as he begins to make his way down the ramp,a huge smirk on his face. He enters into the ring, backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds, he is the CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!! ‘PHANTOM!!!!!!!’ PJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ HENDRXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This match is underway, and Keogo Leoso immediately dashes right at PJ Hendrx, but PJ is able to duck out of the way, overwhelming Keogo into the corner, before catching him with a high knee! He quickly grabs Keogo by the head, throwing him over with a snapmare, and he takes a run for the ropes, looking to kick Keogo’s head off!
Flannery McCoy: But Keogo pops up to his feet AND HE DAMN NEAR TAKES THE INTERWIRE CHAMP’S HEAD OFF WITH A HUGE LARIAT TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT! PJ just got FLATTENED, Keogo quickly picks him back to his feet, before lifting him into the air, and he drops him down with a huge german suplex, and PJ is in a world of hurt right here! Keogo goes for a quick cover onto the Champ!
OO–
Jake Mercer: He should have known that PJ Hendrx wasn’t going to stay down that easily at all, as the Interwire Champion kicked out before even a one count! Keogo does not look happy about that at all, as he quickly gets back to his feet, throwing PJ up as well, and throwing him into the ropes, BUT PJ SPRINGBOARDS OFF THEM AND NAILS KEOGO WITH A SPRINGBOARD STUNNER! KEOGO JUST GOT STUNNED! LMAO!
Stew-O: Anyways. PJ quickly gets back to his feet, jumping up to the top rope, AND HE GOES FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, BUT KEOGO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! PJ rolls through it, getting back to his feet, but Keogo rushes at him! BUT PJ HENDRX JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND CATCHES KEOGO LEOSO WITH A HUGE SPANISH FLY IN MIDAIR! THESE TWO AREN’T SLOWING DOWN AT ALL! INSANITY.
Flannery McCoy: The Interwire Champion quickly stumbles back up, using the ropes to lean up on, as it looks like he is going to climb out onto the apron, but look; Keogo just grabbed him by the foot stopping him! PJ doesn’t like this, trying to kick Keogo away, but he quickly gets to his feet holding onto PJ’s foot, and he drops him with a dragon screw! PJ goes down and he is favoring that knee now, and Keogo looks to take advantage of it; stopping right onto it!
Jake Mercer: And PJ lets out a loud screech of agony! You can tell that hurt, as Keogo quickly pulls him back to his feet, before connecting with a huge forearm smash right to the jaw! This staggers him backwards, but he is able to step right back in, catching Keogo with one of his own! But Keogo with another one! And then PJ responds with another one of his own! But Keogo catches PJ with an uppercut this time, and then a knee in the gut, staggering PJ! He–
Stew-O: PJ HENDRX DROPS KEOGO LEOSO WITH A STIFF SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW! Keogo falls to a knee, but PJ isn’t done; and he superkicks him again, and Keogo falls over! Sensing that this might be his opportunity, PJ drags Keogo to the center of the ring, before quickly dropping down and he hooks the leg, going for the cover! The Interwire Champion looks to put an end to this match right here, as Keogo Leoso is out cold!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT KEOGO LEOSO MANAGES TO KICKOUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! You can tell that PJ Hendrx is impressed by this, quickly sliding back up to his knees as even he is unsure that Keogo was able to kickout there. He gets to his feet, and looks to drop his knee down right into Keogo’s skull, but Keogo moves and PJ lands awkwardly onto that already hurt knee!
Jake Mercer: PJ tries to stumble back up to his feet, but he crumbles into the ropes from that pain in his knee, and look; Keogo Leoso senses that the Champion is hurt, and he is going to take advantage of it, grabbing PJ by his tights and pulling him backwards into him, before sending him forward right back into the ropes with a huge forearm strike to the back of his neck! PJ bounces off the ropes… AND KEOGO LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR; PLANTING HIM WITH THE SAMOAN DRIVER! KEOGO HOOKS THE LEG AND THIS MAY BE IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: NOT SO FAST, PJ HENDRX KICKS OUT! Keogo Leoso almost got the biggest win of his short career here in Elite Answers Wrestling but it wasn’t enough, and he does not look happy about it. He gets up to his feet, dragging PJ up as well, AND IT LOOKS LIKE KEOGO LEOSO IS GOING TO FINISH THIS OFF ONCE FOR ALL WITH ‘ALLEY-UCE!!!’ THE POP UP SAMOAN DROP TO PUT AN END TO HENDRX!
Flannery McCoy: NO! OH MY GOD WHAT A REVERSAL; PJ HENDRX JUST REVERSED THE POP UP SAMOAN DROP WITH A HUGE CRUCIFIX DRIVER, DRIVING KEOGO INTO THE MAT, AND KEOGO DID NOT LAND PRETTY! PJ stumbles back up to his feet as Keogo tries to make it up to a knee, but PJ is going to stop him right in his tracks with that superkick right to the back of the head! Keogo is all wobbly right now, and PJ drags him up… BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A HARSH BACKSTABBER!
Jake Mercer: It looks like Keogo Leoso might be finished off within this match, as PJ quickly pulls him back to his feet again, only to drop him right back down once more with a huge snap dragon suplex! Keogo’s head bounces off of the mat, and that props him right back to his knees, BUT PJ ISN’T GOING TO HAVE ANY OF THAT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! Keogo is definitely done for, as the Interwire Champion has this in the bag!
Flannery McCoy: PJ drags Keogo back up to his feet, possibly for the last time in this match, before slightly pushing him back, AND HE RUNS THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM, BEFORE CUTTING THE SAMOAN STREET BRAWLER RIGHT IN HALF WITH THE ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION!!!!’ THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR!!! KEOGO LEOSO IS DONE FOR, AS PJ HENDRX FLOATS INTO THE COVER! COUNT TO A HUNDRED!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; THE CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, PJJJJJJJ HENDRXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘DNA’ begins to play throughout the speakers again to an explosion of cheers. PJ gets up to his feet and brushes his hair back, shaking the cobwebs away. He gets handed his Interwire Championship by the referee, before having his arm raised high in the air, and he begins to celebrate his victory.)
Stew-O: And PJ Hendrx is walking out of Dynasty tonight with the victory! Keogo Leoso put up a fight that could be considered a star-making performance tonight, but in the end it wasn’t enough to put down the current EAW Interwire Champion. I’m sure that this match has sent Triple J a message heading into their battle in a couple of weeks at Grand Rampage. Congratulations to PJ Hendrx!
(PJ would hold the Championship high in the air in the center of the ring, in all of its glory, though lowering moments after as he looked to the ropes; ready to exit and head to the back – )
???: Ay, ay is this thing on?
( PJ would look around confused for a moment, the voice booming through the speakers as PJ was halted in his tracks; confused though the man himself in Hendrix’s ears becoming more and more knowledgeable; as PJ’s confusion turned to annoyance, as he finally looked over to the titantron; meeting face to… Screen, with none other than Jay Jerry Johnson. )
Jay Jerry Johnson: Eh, I’d assume so. PJ, buddy! Great match out there tonight, champ; real good stuff! I mean, look at you, trying to get all your momentum before our match at Grand Rampage; dotting all your i’s and crossing all your t’s to make sure you’re ready for the challenge and emphatic END that I bring to your championship reign; amidst all things that you have done wrong – your preparation? Isn’t one of them. You’re doing exactly all you could do before your inevitable failure, going out in style; respectable. Not as respectable as you looked last week when things between you and I turned a bit… Violent, so to speak – but PJ Hendrx won’t stay down for long, will he? No no no, the Interwire Champion prevails nonetheless!
( PJ looks on, unamused and unimpressed with Jay Jerry Johnson who smiles through the wide titan-tron; Hendrx wasting little time as he adjusts his title, keeping it safe on his shoulder, before going for the ropes to exit the ring and move to the back as he had previously planned out. )
Jay Jerry Johnson: Ay’ Ay’ What are you doing? Are you trying to leave? PJ, STAY IN THAT RING AND LISTEN TO ME – LISTEN TO ME LIKE I’M THE LAST VOICE YOU’LL EVER HEAR!
( PJ hears Jay, and reluctantly with his body halfway through the middle rope, he hinders in his steps and is begrudgingly re-entering the ring. )
Jay Jerry Johnson: Thats right, better! Wasn’t that hard to hear me out, was it? Even had to raise my voice through all those arena speakers I know you could’ve heard me perfectly fine beforehand! Shame. A shame that you think you’ve EARNED the liberty to walk out when somebody’s talking to you – why? Because you ‘re a champion now? Because you’ve ‘earned’ that Interwire Championship? You’re a joke. A joke with no punchline because I am not amused by you; I am not entertained seeing you try and disrespect me when I have put TIME and EFFORT into the process you decided to think you deserved SKIPPING. See, PJ, you decided to take the easy route – but me? My run here in EAW has been nothing but easy. It has been SCRATCHING and CLAWING upon more SCRATCHING and CLAWING, followed by SCRATCHING and CLAWING to get myself opportunities you find yourself just fitting right into, now isn’t that peculiar?
Jay Jerry Johnson: Now I understand you might be too ‘Hollywood’ for me PJ, atleast in your own terms, but I have a message for the new Golden Boy of Dynasty – this company? It doesn’t revolve around you. Sure, Tyrone rolled out the red carpet for you and set your career up before you even decided on what music you’d end up walking out to; but that doesn’t mean we all will give you that luxury because not all of us GOT that luxury – to have things planned out and played out, see SOME of us had to actually grind to be in the positions we were in, you just drew the lottery numbers. See where I had to face setbacks? You were given keys. When I was lost for a route back to appearing on the Main Show? You were given the instructions. And when I FINALLY managed to garner the respect for my hard work? You’ve been slotted in as a Champion already and served a role I deserve. You never GRINDED like I did, and yet? You have a Interwire Championship to show that anyone given enough privilege can make it over someone else who’s put GRIT in.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Operation Doomsday was my first Marquee Event win of the season – sure, I’ll own up to it. But I darn sure don’t plan on it being the last time either. This season’s running up, Grand Rampage is coming around en route to the finale of this 365 EAW tour at Pain For Pride… And I don’t plan at coming into next Season with nothing to show for it. I’m not HERE to be your launch-pad, nor am I here as to take the role of ‘Successful Defense’ in your case, because you are one of the LAST people on Dynasty who should ever get that luxury – not that it’d be given in the first place. Let it be known, just as fast as you snatched that title away from Amir Yusuf? I could and WILL do the same exact thing to you. You’re not bulletproof, you’re not invincible, you’re not JAY JERRY JOHNSON. You don’t have my experience, my drive, my MOTIVATION to have that hardware, and at Grand Rampage? I’m taking what I have been owed for a long time.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Now I sincerely hoped you enjoyed OPENING my episode of Dynasty – because tonight? Tonight I’m in the Main Event of Dynasty against Scott Diamond, ironic; isn’t it? You opening, me Main Eventing – that’s how it needs to be, and that’s how it will be. So PJ, do me one favor. Watch me in the Main Event, watch your CHALLENGER in the Main Event as I take on and DEFEAT Scott Diamond – righting a wrong that should’ve never happened in the first place, and get TEN TIMES the momentum you think you might’ve gotten against Kioga Leoso by beating a GOLIATH in this business like Scott Diamond. I’m not the same Jay Jerry Johnson I was weeks ago – Heck, I’m not the same Jay Jerry Johnson I was yesterday, because I am ALWAYS improving, FOREVER evolving, and with that? You’ll never be able to gameplan for me, so why even try? First it starts with a so-called legend tonight, and moves to a Golden Boy in Boston; the plan doesn’t waiver. I’ve been here long enough to see the good and the bad, but now I just want to see GOLD.
( PJ sighs, rubbing his temples before finally asking for a mic from a stagehand, who quickly had gotten him one amidst the rambles from Jay Jerry Johnson; Hendrx clearly not amused with how this conversation was going as he looked back towards the Titan-Tron. )
PJ Hendrx: Aight aight look, before you start the second act of this villain origin story you got going on over here – can I say something? I don’t care. I ain’t come out here to attend your pity party, and I am not here to listen in on why Jay Jerry Johnson lost more than half the times in his career, wanna know why? Because your logic is flawed. I’m only HERE because I beat Amir Yusuf, and with that being said, I just proved how WORTHY I am of being Champion. Simple. That’s all the evidence I need, I beat Amir and now I am here with this Interwire Championship around my shoulder. Who’s fault is it that you can’t gain the respect of your peers? Yours. Who’s fault is it that I took your spot in just a few months? Mine. It’s my fault that I am better than you and I am so sorry if that seems to inconvenience you… But I don’t care. And I will continue to NOT care because I am me, you are you, and there are levels between us. But we can stand here, man to monitor, and chit chat about why you suck and why the world is always against you – but I feel a little anger boiling in me from the MATCH you screwed me out of with that attack you laid out; so you know what? I think I do my best talking face to face, preferably with my fists, so if you wouldn’t mind Jay why don’t we cut this short and you come out here and let’s not WAIT till Boston to shoot this STRAIGHT.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh, you want a taste of Boston? You want to FIGHT me, PJ? Well then you got a job to do beforehand, PJ. Come find me.
( Jay Jerry Johnson says, smiling into the camera as PJ just looks around, before shrugging, rolling out of the ring as the crowd cheers him on; PJ going out to find Jay! Johnson noticing such as he moves out of frame, seemingly preparing as the Dynasty feed cuts to commercial upon the tension rising. )
(A commercial is shown for Grand Rampage featuring Interwire Champion PJ Hendrx and his challenger Jay Jerry Johnson.)
(The Camera fades back down to the ringside area. Stephie Love is seen in the middle of the ring with a Dynasty branded EAW Microphone in hand, and Jamie Cross has been seated at the commentary table, a huge smile on her face.)
Stew-O: It’s so great to have you here Jamie!
Jamie Cross: Thank you so much!
Jake Mercer: OMG BESTIE!!!! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
Jamie Cross: I’ve been great! Thank you! Let’s get this show on the road!
(The camera points to Stephie now.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a singles match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne begins to play throughout the speakers of the arena to an explosion of welcoming cheers, as out walks Milli Banks. She has a huge smile on her face, oozing confidence here tonight as she begins to make her way down the ramp. She enters into the ring and backs into her corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is The ‘SUPERNOVA!!!!!!!!’ MILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: We all saw what went down on the recent Voltage marquee event; Tempest. After ARIA had just retained her Specialist Championship against Sierra Everett, Milli Banks showed up and announced herself as the next challenger to the gold; the match being made official for Grand Rampage!
Jamie Cross: You know, I have really enjoyed what I have seen from Milli since my debut here in EAW, and there is no doubt in my mind that she might just be the next Specialist Champion. Allthoughh, and no disrespect to her, having to face against one of my High Sky inspirations; ARIA? That will be a tough challenge for her, but beating the current New Breed Champion might prepare her! She reminds me of… Proxima Midnight.
(‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping with Sirens would then blast through the speakers to a mixed reaction, as Caroline would then step out onto the stage. Dragging the New Breed Championship along with her, and with a cold gaze, she begins to make her way down the ramp. She enters into the ring, holding the championship over to the referee as she backs into her corner.)
Stephie Love: And the opponent! Residing in Newark, New Jersey, weighing in at 109 pounds, she is the CURRENT EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! THE ‘QUEEN OF SHADOWS!!!!!’ CARRRRRROOOOLINEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But we all know that Caroline won’t go down without a fight. That is how she became the New Breed Champion after all. Milli is going to have a tough challenge for herself here tonight, as Caroline isn’t going to allow for Milli to just walk all over her, and I’m sure that’s going to make out for a great match tonight. Only one of these women are going to be able to walk out of Dynasty with the win.
Jake Mercer: Bestie. What’s your statement about Caroline?
Jamie Cross: Caroline is an amazing performer, no doubt. Very emo though. But that’s okay; it had gotten here to the New Breed Championship after all! She is one who I would love to have a match against here in EAW, and heck, maybe I am going to be able to get that soon; with the Championship on the line! I compared Milli to someone, I will do the same for Caroline; she DEFINITELY reminds me of Ebony Maw.
Stew-O: :wow:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jamie Cross: OMG. HERE WE GO! I have my popcorn with me here right now, let’s get this match on the road! WOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Caroline and Milli Banks circle around the ring, before rushing to the center and they lock up! Both women are going to look to gain control in the early goings of this match, and it looks like it’s going to be Milli, as she grabs Caroline and pulls her right into a side headlock, and Caroline is trapped with nowhere to go, as Milli continues to wrench that hold in as tightly as she can! Look at Caroline struggling!
Flannery McCoy: But Caroline taps Milli before stepping backwards, and pushing Milli up against the ropes, forcing the grip of the headlock to loosen as she slips out of it, and Milli bounces off the ropes to the opposite side, and she catches Caroline with a shoulder block, Caroline going splat right in the middle of the ring! Milli runs the ropes again, but Caroline quickly pops up before catching her with a japanese armdrag, rolling through and stomping on Milli’s arm in the process!
Jake Mercer: Caroline quickly grabs Milli by the waist, and she lifts her back to her feet, and it looks like she is going to send Milli into the corner, before slamming her shoulder right into Milli’s midsection with a huge shoulder thrust, and then another one! Milli folds over, as Caroline grabs Milli and slips her out of the corner, climbing to the top rope, and drops Milli down with an axe handle! Hey Jamie, what do you say, give me some popcorn?
Jamie Cross: Sure!
(Jamie gives Jake some of her popcorn, and Jake eats it happily.)
Stew-O: :francis:
Jamie Cross: This match has barely just begun and look at these two going; they are already tearing the house down! You know, this reminds me EXACTLY like the final fight in Spiderman: No Way Home! They are going to try to tear each other apart!
Jake Mercer: RIGHT?! PREACH IT GIRLIE!
Stew-O: Anyways… Caroline quickly picks Milli back to her feet, dragging her over to the center of the ring, as she grabs a tight hold over her, and she lifts her into the air and drops her down with a big vertical snap suplex! You can tell that Milli landed awkwardly on her lower spine, as Caroline quickly floats over into the cover, and she hooks the leg, looking for the early win!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWW–
Flannery McCoy: But Milli Banks quickly kicks out! We all knew that she wasn’t going to stay down that easily, and it’s clear that Caroline knew that as well, but it is a great strategy, I must admit. Caroline quickly gets back to her feet, and she stomps right down onto Milli’s face, but Milli didn’t like that, as that stomp forces Milli to quickly get back to her feet and she catches Caroline right in the jaw with a forearm smash!
Jamie Cross: :yikes:!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT CAROLINE RESPONDS WITH ONE OF HER OWN, AND THEN AN UPPERCUT! This staggers Milli backwards, as Caroline looks to capitalize off of it, AND SHE RUNS TOWARDS MILLI FOR A SPEAR, BUT MILLI CATCHES CAROLINE BY THE HAIR AND SHE PULLS HER DOWN AND OVER INTO A CRADLE PIN! MILLI MIGHT BE ABLE TO STEAL IT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWW–
Jamie Cross: THE NEW BREED CHAMPION KICKS OUT :blessed:!!! I’m sure that everyone in EAW has come to realize that Caroline, much like Milli, isn’t going to stay down that easily; that is why she is the New Breed Champion after all! I am loving this!
Stew-O: But Milli Banks clearly isn’t too happy about it, as she shakes her head in frustration, quickly getting back up and meeting Caroline up to her feet, and Milli knees Caroline right in the gut! Caroline doubles over, as it looks like Milli is going to go for a DDT to quite possibly put Caroline out for good in this match, but Caroline is able to spin right out of it before catching Milli with a step up enziguri!
Flannery McCoy: NO, MILLI BANKS SIDE STEPS IT AND CAROLINE CRASHES TO THE MAT! Caroline quickly tries to stumble back up, but Milli isn’t going to let it happen, and she kicks Caroline’s arm right from out of here, and Caroline falls flat once more! Milli quickly grabs Caroline by the hair and lifts her back up, BEFORE SHE THROWS CAROLINE INTO THE RINGPOST, AND CAROLINE GOES SHOULDER FIRST! OUCH!
Jake Mercer: You can tell that hurt the New Breed Champion, but Milli isn’t done whatsoever, as she quickly grabs Caroline by her attire, pulling her back into her, before grabbing her by the waist AND THROWING HER OVER WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! CAROLINE JUST LANDED ONTO HER HEAD, AND MILLI IS GOING TO LOOK TO END THIS RIGHT HERE, AS SHE QUICKLY STAGGERS UP, AND DROPS HER KNEE RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE CHAMP’S SKULL! COVER BY MILLI!
Jamie Cross: :lupe:
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Another kickout by the current New Breed Champion!!
Jamie Cross: :blessed:
Stew-O: Milli Banks gets up into a seated position, and you can tell that she does not look very happy about that near fall. She gets back to her feet once more, pulling Caroline up as well, as she irish whips her into the ropes, BUT CAROLINE JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND FLIPS OVER MILLI!!! AND SHE DROPS MILLI WITH A HUGE CANADIAN DESTROYER! IN A NEAR INSTANT MILLI JUST GOT PLANTED, AND SHE FALLS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR NEAR US!
Jamie Cross: Oh hi, Milli.
Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks landed hard down to the ringside floor, as she drags herself back up to her feet, BUT SHE DOESN’T REALIZE THAT CAROLINE IS POISED AND READY, AS SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES BEFORE DIVING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, CATCHING AND DROPPING MILLI WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE INTO THE TORNADO DDT!!! ‘NO ESCAPE’ PLANTS MILLI RIGHT DOWN ONTO HER HEAD ONTO THE FLOOR!!!!
Jamie Cross: Oh hi, Caroline.
Caroline: (off-mic) Quiet.
Jamie Cross: (in a whisper) :lupe:! She heard me.
Jake Mercer: Caroline quickly picks Milli Banks back up to her feet and throws her back into the ring, and… HEY! DON’T GIVE MY BESTIE OVER HERE THAT DEATH GLARE! Anyways… she rolls into the ring, stalking down Milli as Milli is trying to crawl away, but Caroline is able to grab her by the hair, lifting her to her feet and… WAIT MILLI THROWS HERSELF BACKWARDS AND CATCHES CAROLINE RIGHT ON THE DOME WITH AN OVERHEAD KICK!
Stew-O: CAROLINE SIDE STEPS, AND A SOCCER KICK RIGHT TO THE HEAD! MILLI MIGHT BE OUT, BUT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION ISN’T DONE! She quickly drags Milli over to the corner of the ring, before exiting out onto the apron, and she starts to climb up to the top rope, and Milli is completely defenseless, as it looks like Caroline is going to take the high risk for a high reward! SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE 450 SPLASH!!! ‘WIDOW SPLASH!!!’ MILLI MIGHT BE DONE FOR AS CAROLINE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG, AND SHE HOOKS IT IN DEEP! CAROLINE IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE AGAINST THE CURRENT NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTT–
Stew-O: BUT MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO KICKOUT JUST IN TIME! Caroline thought that she had won this match, but in the end, Milli was able to kickout once again to keep this going! Caroline leans herself up against the ropes, wondering what she has to do next… WAIT! IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS GOING TO BE THINKING QUICK, AS SHE RUNS STRAIGHT FOR MILLI, AND FLIPS INTO THE AIR!! STANDING SHOOTING STAR KNEE DROP!! ‘DARK HALLOWS’ BY THE NEW BREED CHAMPION ONTO MILLI BANKS!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND CAROLINE CRASHES AND SHE BURNS; BAD. Caroline quickly tries to stumble back up, but her knees give up on her! She tries again, but Milli quickly grabs her by the neck, AND A HARSH NECKBREAKER DRIVING CAROLINE’S NECK DOWN ONTO THE EDGE OF MILLI’S BACK! What a move by Milli! This match has been an amazing showcase between the two and-… wait, why isn’t Jake talking?
(Stew-O looks towards Jake, and realizes that Jake and Jamie have taken their headsets off and are now talking to each other about Marvel comics, completely discarding the match going on. Stew slaps Jake upside the head to get their attention. They put their headsets back on to focus back on the match.)
Jake Mercer: Jeez. Sorry, my bad. 🙄
Jamie Cross: No Jake it’s okay! This match has just been so amazing, but I got caught off guard and distracted for one second! I guess it was just my mind roaming, but look at this right now; Milli Banks is in control of the current New Breed Champion! COME ON GIRLS! GO BOTH!
Stew-O: Back to the action, as look; these two are tearing each other apart in the middle of the ring with those forearms, and the crowd is loving it! No one is giving up, but it’s Caroline who is able to take the next step and the initiative, with a huge superkick right to Milli’s face! This doesn’t drop Milli, but it definitely dazes her, as Caroline then runs off the ropes… BUT MILLI FOLLOWS HER, AND SHE SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THEM!!
Jake Mercer: ‘FORECLOSURE’ CONNECTS!!! THE SPRINGBOARD INVERTED DDT CONNECTS AND DROPS CAROLINE, AND MILLI SHOOTS THE HALF, AND SHE FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER! COULD THIS BE IT FOR THE NEW BREED CHAMPION?! COULD THIS BE WHAT PUTS THIS MATCH AWAY?
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTT–
Flannery McCoy: CAROLINE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE ONCE AGAIN, GETTING HER SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT JUST BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! Wow! Milli hit Caroline with what could have been her best possible shot to put an end to this match, and even then it wasn’t enough to end it, and Caroline stays alive! Milli pounds the mat in frustration, quickly getting back to her fee–
Jamie Cross: CAROLINE PULLS HER INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Milli quickly kicks out! Both women get back to their feet, and Caroline swings at Milli, but Milli ducks! Then Milli goes to swing at Caroline, but Caroline ducks! These two are going at it and now they are missing some of their best possible shots that could be useful in this match, AS MILLI GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK, BUT CAROLINE DUCKS, AND JUMPS INTO THE AIR CATCHING HER WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Milli falls hard, as Caroline runs the ropes, AND A HUGE STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Jake Mercer: MILLI BANKS SLIPS OUT OF THE WAAAYYY!!!
Jamie Cross: :krabs:!!!
Jake Mercer: Both women quickly get back up to their feet once again, as Caroline jumps at Milli, BUT MILLI CATCHES HER AND DROPS HER DOWN ONTO THE TOP ROPE THROAT FIRST WITH A FLATLINER! Caroline did not land right, and you can tell as she is coughing for her life right now, but Milli isn’t going to go any easier on her, AND SHE CLOBBERS CAROLINE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A CLOTHESLINE! CAROLINE CRUMBLES, AND MILLI REALIZES THIS IS HER PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE A HUGE WIN OVER THE NEW BREED CHAMP!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS QUICKLY CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND CAROLINE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING, AS MILLI SAYS IT’S HER TURN TO TAKE THE HIGH RISK FOR A HIGHER REWARD; AND MILLI LEAPS INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH ‘MILLI-ON-AIR!!!!’ THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS WITH ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, AND CAROLINE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, AS MILLI HOOKS THE LEG AND SHE GETS THE COVER ON THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jamie Cross: :wow:
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; MILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Changed It’ begins to play through the speakers again to a warm reception, as Milli Banks pushes herself off of Caroline in victory. She looks happy in herself, as she gets her arm raised by the referee in vicory.)
Stew-O: What an absolute war of a match this was! These two put everything on the line just to see who will come out as the better woman, and in the end, it was Milli Banks who was able to get a huge and clean win over the current New Breed Champion; Caroline!
Jamie Cross: I love love LOVED this match! These two are great! They proved that they are the future, much like I am! I am so proud of these wonderful women who put everything on the line tonight, but in the end, Caroline just didn’t have what it takes. Can I say it Stew?
Stew-O: Go ahead! :wow:
Jamie Cross: Congratulations to Milli Banks!! :blessed:
(Milli would exit the ring, and begin to walk up the rampway as Caroline is left sitting in the middle of the ring, disappointed in her loss. Jamie Cross would get up to her feet, as she grabs the New Breed Championship from the timekeeper’s area.)
Jamie Cross: I’m going to go give this to her, thank you guys for having me. Also Jake, here, has this.
(Jamie smiles as she hands Jake one of her spiderman comic books, before walking over to the ring.)
Jake Mercer: OMG. YAAAAY!!!!
(Jake begins reading it immediately.)
(Meanwhile, Caroline would be able to get up to her knees, and she spots Jamie out of the corner of her eye. Jamie enters into the ring, the title in hand. Caroline does not enjoy the fact that Jamie has her title right now, but she offers the New Breed Championship to her.)
Jamie Cross: (off-mic) Here you go Caroline! 😊
(Caroline shakes her head, getting to her feet as she takes the Championship from Jamie, Jamie smiles.)
Stew-O: What a good sport–
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL?!
(Suddenly, Jamie falls to the mat, holding her knees and shouting in pain.)
Jamie Cross: (off-mic) AHHHHH!!! MY EYES! MY EYES!!!!
Jake Mercer: CAROLINE JUST SPAT MIST INTO JAMIE’S EYES! COME ON! THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR! WHAT NEED WAS THERE TO DO THAT?!
(Officials immediately go to check up on Jamie, as Caroline dips. She exits the ring with the New Breed Championship and begins to make her way up the ramp, as the camera would fade elsewhere from there.)
(A sound of a storm coming in is heard in the background. Slowly, the beating of drums begins to play in a rhythmic kind of manner as we see a full 360° view of Hall of Famer, Scott Diamond. All of his statistics such as his weight, hometown, signatures, and finishers are highlighted with him. Then, it goes to Scott Diamond sitting in a pitch black room, looking into the camera, almost like he’s staring into the soul of everyone watching.)
Scott Diamond: ‘The Mad Titan,’ ‘The Cold-Blooded Killer,’ ‘The Perfect Storm,’ — I am Scott Diamond.
(The beating of the drums gets a little louder as the sound of the storm comes closer. Then, it begins to show footage of Scott Diamond holding the Interwire Championship, Hardcore Championship, Elite Championship. It highlights his pure dominance to attain the Hall of Fame Championship as well as his two Answers World Championship reigns — the last one being in 2018 after beating Carlos Rosso in dominant fashion on the road to Pain for Pride Festival. The last shot is of Scott holding up the Answers World Championship for a second time in his career.)
Scott Diamond: I always liked to say that satisfaction for material things are reserved for those with no ambition. Over the course of my career, I’ve accomplished a lot. I’ve won many championships, but…titles don’t impress me. This is the first time in a very long time — even more so than back in 2018, where I last captured World Championship gold — that I’m back for the right reasons. This time around, I’m not here to be a champion. I’m not here on some money driven obligation. I’m back for the passion of it all. To be able to go out there, hear the roaring of the crowd, to get my boost of serotonin by stepping between those ropes and dominating any man or woman who steps in my way.
(The sound of the storm is heard getting a little closer as the beating of the drum gets faster. It begins to show Scott Diamond’s past few matches with Amir Yusuf, Jay Jerry Johnson, Cameron Ella Ava and Joso and his dominant moments in the matches.)
Scott Diamond: I’m not here to make other people look good. I’m not here to play the role of the over-the-hill legend, sacrificing his last bit of gas in the tank to allow some younger star to pass me up. I have a full tank and I’m ready to go full speed.
(The sound of the storm gets closer as the video package continues to play some highlights from Scott Diamond’s past few matches. Then, he begins to play highlights of his last championship match at Grand Rampage. He faced Andre Walker for the Interwire Championship in a grueling match up. The last shot shows the defeated look on Scott’s face as Andre holds up the Interwire Championship.)
Scott Diamond: What makes this match different are two different things — one: it’s for the World Heavyweight Championship and two: I truly care. Now, this is not shade to Andre Walker. I didn’t take Andre lightly whatsoever or sleepwalked through the match, but I know this time, I am going to give it my all. That loss to Andre still burns and the fact that I can’t actually face Andre and get my revenge because he tucked his tail and left *kills* me.
(Then, it begins to play the Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship from earlier this season. Most notably, the final two match up between Andre Walker and Limmy Monaghan. At last, Limmy dethrones Andre and claims the World Heavyweight Championship.)
Scott Diamond: But, what gets to me is that Limmy Monaghan accomplished what I couldn’t and that’s defeating Andre and taking his title. That makes Limmy, technically, the best guy doing it right now on paper and that makes him the man on paper.
(It shows the confrontation between Scott Diamond and World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan from last week. We see the stare down between the two Elitists and the comparisons on the height and strength between the two of them.)
Scott Diamond: I looked Limmy Monaghan dead in the eye last week. I wasn’t too impressed — by him or the championship on his shoulder. He may be the man on paper, but in real life, he isn’t half the man or competitor that I am. I’m going to prove that at Grand Rampage when I take his whole ‘prophecy’ and title reign and tear it to shreds…
(It begins to play Scott Diamond’s dominating moments before going back to Scott Diamond in the pitch black confessional as the storm pauses.)
Scott Diamond: And, re-enter the era of ‘The Perfect Storm.’
(The last shot is of Scott Diamond raising the Answers World Championship above his head. At least, the storm is heard arriving as the thunder is heard before rain is heard pouring. The scene fades elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with a shot of Stephie Love standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand being shown as she begins to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The following is a GRAND RAMPAGE PREVIEW MATCH!!! And it is a fatal four way set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks is heard playing through the speakers with the camera going to a very game Axel Graves beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He has a determined look on his face as he scans around at the crowd who give him a strong mixed reaction before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring, ready for the match at hand tonight.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Bear Creek, Montana… weighing in at 265 pounds… ‘THE MONTANA MANIAC’… AXEL GRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘The Dying Song (Time To Sing)’ by Slipknot is heard playing up with the crowd booing loudly for Shane Gates who is seen making his way out to the stage. He does not at all look happy as he eyes the ring, not wasting any time with any sort of theatrics as he makes his way down the ramp. He keeps his eyes focused on the goal at hand and a mindset of destruction in his wake.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Huntington Beach, California… weighing in at 213 pounds… ‘THE NATURAL BORN KILLER’… SHANE GATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘I Put a Spell on You’ by Tejon Street Corner Thieves follows up with the camera going over to Solomon Stane who slowly begins to make his way out to the stage. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction while he spreads his arms out, closing his eyes and posing for a moment. He then opens his eyes, looking up at the opposition already inside the ring, before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Next… from The City of Sin… weighing in at 266 pounds… THE ‘SOLDIER OF SANITY’… SOLOMON STANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert is then heard following that, with the crowd booing loudly while the lights go out and through the smoke that emits from the stage, Ruler is seen making his presence known. With a serious expression on his face while he scans around the arena and toward the ring, a spotlight shines down as he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… residing in The Reserved… weighing in at 220 pounds… ‘THE REVOLUTIONIZER’… RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Ruler! Solomon! Shane! Axel! One of two Grand Rampage preview matches are officially underway and let me tell you, I can’t wait! I’m sure these four are looking to set themselves apart from the pack and make themselves favorites in such a huge match like the Rampage is, and lucky for them this is just the match to do it!
Flannery McCoy: AND SOLOMON WASTES NO TIME RUNNING FORWARD RULER AND SENDING HIM BACK INTO HIS CORNER, UNLOADING PUNCHES DOWN ONTO HIS FACE! We know what happened last week between them, Mercer McKay, and Kirk Redwood, I’m sure that the other half of the Off-Brand Amphetamines is out for blood against him for trying to make a mockery of the two of them! Meanwhile Shane and Axel are out of their corners as well, trading punches with one another at the center of the ring! This match is in full force and it’s been made clear right out of the gate that all four of these Elitists are looking to get their hands on one another for a fight tonight!
Jake Mercer: Solomon grabs Ruler by the head and throws him down to the center of the ring, with him rolling up to a kneeling position, ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO BOOT HIM IN THE FACE! Ruler is dropped down to the canvas as he sits up, ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO ATTEMPT TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM THIS TIME- NO! Ruler rolls out of the way of that! He gets back up to his feet, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN! Solomon tries to roll out of the ring, but Ruler is hot on his tail as he then proceeds to turn around and run to the ropes… LEAPING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE!
Stew-O: Meanwhile Shane and Axel find themselves backed in the corner, continuing to trade blows with one another, but it seems that Axel has had enough as he sends a knee to the abdomen of Shane! That stuns him and sends him backward, BEFORE AXEL DROPS HIM WITH A RUNNING LARIAT! He then proceeds to run to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING UP AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A JUMPING SENTON- NO! Shane gets out of the way while Axel quickly gets back up, ONLY FOR SHANE TO TURN HIM AROUND BEFORE DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A QUICK GERMAN SUPLEX! Shane drops him down while turning around… ONLY TO BE MET BY RULER WHO LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!
Flannery McCoy: Seems like Ruler wants to cover all the bases in this match, with Axel getting back up to his feet and swinging toward him, ONLY FOR RULER TO DUCK UNDER AND CONNECT WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! This sends Axel against the ropes, WHILE RULER RUNS FORWARD AND BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE SENDING HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! Ruler has cleared out the ring, BUT THAT’S SHORT LIVED WITH SOLOMON WINDING HIMSELF UP AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! Solomon then proceeds to pick him back up, BEFORE THEN TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Jake Mercer: Solomon turns his attention elsewhere with Shane beginning to get back up to his feet, ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO LIFT HIM UP AND TAKE HIM BACK DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM AS WELL! Shane is taken out but begins to get back up again, Solomon isn’t just going to let that happen though, pulling him in, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND AND PLANNING TO CONNECT WITH A SUPLEX! But Shane manages to land behind him! Solomon attempts to swing behind him, BUT SHANE GOES UNDER AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX WHICH SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Shane gets up to a kneeling position, BUT IS MET WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE FACE BY A RETURNING AXEL TO TAKE HIM DOWN! He slides back into the ring and connects with some quick offense before then beginning to bring Shane back up to his feet…
Stew-O: BUT RULER SHOOTS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPES BEFORE TAKING THEM BOTH DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! What a move manages to connect on Shane and Axel, and now Ruler scoops up Axel… BEFORE PULLING HIM IN AND LIFTING HIM INTO A URANAGE! AXEL IS DROPPED AND RULER HOOKS THE LEG FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOLOMON IS RIGHT ON IT AS HE LEAPS TO BREAK UP THE PIN, NOT EVEN RISKING ANYTHING! He nails Ruler in the back of the head, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND FOR A BACK SUPLEX TO TAKE HIM OUT! Solomon gets back up to his feet and seems to be back in the game, BUT IS NAILED FROM BEHIND WITH AN AXE HANDLE BY A RECOVERING SHANE GATES! Solomon absorbs the blow, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND TRYING TO CONNECT WITH ‘CALL OF THE VOID’! DISCUS HAMMERSTRIKE TO SHANE!
Jake Mercer: BUT SHANE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT JUST IN TIME! Solomon just barely misses that and I feel like Shane is going to make him pay dearly for it, GRABBING HIM AND LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND FOR A BACK BODY DROP! Solomon rolls out of the ring to get himself out of the way and Shane is not going to pursue after him, instead focusing on a new prey. He makes his way over to Ruler who’s recovering in the corner, RUNNING OVER AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE- ONLY FOR RULER TO NAIL HIM IN THE FACE! Shane stumbles back while he makes his way out, GOING UNDER AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP THAT FACEPLANTS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler isn’t done though, FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO THE SPINE!
Stew-O: Ruler takes Shane down before then getting back up to his feet, ONLY FOR AXEL TO COME IN AND CLOBBER HIM WITH AN AXE HANDLE TO THE FACE! Ruler attempts to get back up to his feet, only for Axel to run to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND TAKING HIM OUT WITH A HUGE CROSSBODY! He then proceeds to grab him by the arm and drag him back up to his feet… BEFORE PULLING HIM IN AND SWINGING INTO A HUGE NECKBREAKER TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Axel then proceeds to discard of Ruler, grabbing him and throwing him out of the ring before beginning to focus on the other Elitists that are in this match. He brings Solomon back up to his feet, but he immediately breaks free of his grasp and begins to send shots to the face! This sends Axel back, taking him by surprise, as he finds himself backed up against the corner, while Solomon continues to overwhelm him with blow after blow! He then proceeds to grab him, BEFORE SENDING HIM FLYING ACROSS THE RING WITH AUTHORITY!
Jake Mercer: Axel takes a hard tumble down to the ground while Solomon takes a moment to recuperate, because just like the other Elitist in this match it’s been apparent that he’s taken one hell of a beating by his competition. He shakes his head before then beginning to make his way over to Axel, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S SHANE GATES THAT LAUNCHES FORWARD AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! Shane saw the opportunity and took it as he lifted Solomon off the ground and began to set him up now… GOING FOR ‘HEARTLESS DEMISE’! A MUSCLE BUSTER!
Stew-O: BUT AT THE SAME TIME, RULER LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND NAILS SHANE WITH A ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’ WHICH TAKES BOTH HIM AND SOLOMON DOWN TO THE GROUND! METEORA CONNECTS, AND WHAT A SMART MOVE BY RULER TO COVER ALL BASES! HE DROPS AND HOOKS THE LEG ON SHANE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT SHANE KICKS OUT! RULER IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OVER AND ATTEMPTS TO PIN SOLOMON THIS TIME!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: SOLOMON KICKS OUT AS WELL! Definitely not the favorable outcome in this scenario for ‘The Revolutionizer’, but it’s a start considering he can take all the time in the world to pick his other three opponents apart. He pushes himself back up to his feet and begins to recover, ONLY TO BE NAILED WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE BY AXEL! Ruler is sent backward as he manages to lean himself against the ropes, AND BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE’S SENT OVER BY AXEL WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: Axel manages to discard the only person left standing in that exchange and now turns his attention to the other two. Solomon has rolled away toward the edge of the ring, grabbing a hold of the bottom rope, while on the other hand Shane has pulled himself toward a nearby corner to help himself back up to his feet. He tries to recover, but AXEL RUNS TOWARD HIM AND NAILS HIM WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD! Shane is absolutely rocked by that, and now Axel sends him toward the opposite corner with an Irish whip… BEFORE TRYING FOR A SECOND CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SHANE MOVES! He goes under before grabbing Axel, AND DROPPING HIM WITH A BACK SUPLEX! He gets back up to his feet and eyes Solomon beginning to get back up to his feet, BUT BEFORE SOLOMON CAN DO ANYTHING, RULER MANAGES TO GRAB HIM BY THE LEG AND PULL HIM OUT OF THE RING! Solomon tries his best to fight back, but he’s still hurt and it doesn’t take much for Ruler to respond, AS HE SHOVES HIM SPINEFIRST AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Ruler then proceeds to jump onto the apron, JUST FOR AXEL TO RUSH FORWARD AND ATTEMPT TO SEND HIM FLYING OFF OF IT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST!
Jake Mercer: BUT RULER MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE BOOTING AXEL IN THE FACE! He then braces the ropes, BEFORE LEAPING OVER AND ROLLING AXEL UP INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT AXEL MANAGES TO PUSH AWAY, ONLY FOR RULER TO ROLL UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECT WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST- BUT AXEL ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! He sets him up, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! This doubles Ruler over, BEFORE AXEL CONNECTS WITH ‘TOUR OF THE BOONIES’ ONTO HIM! SWINGING SIDE SLAM DROPS HIM DOWN! AXEL THEN QUICKLY GOES FOR THE PIN-
Flannery McCoy: ‘CALL OF THE VOID’! AXEL TRIES TO GO FOR THE PIN BUT IS NAILED WITH A DISCUS HAMMERSTRIKE BY SOLOMON TO TAKE HIM DOWN! SOLOMON COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HOOKS THE LEG ON AXEL TO TRY AND GO FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT SHANE AND RULER BOTH LAUNCH FORWARD WITH THEIR LAST BIT OF ENERGY IN ORDER TO BREAK UP THE PIN! Shane was lying in wait, waiting for the right moment to strike and I think that was the time to do so, and on the other hand Ruler, having just gotten knocked down, mustered the strength within him to push himself forward and save his chances in this match as well. Solomon rolls himself out of the ring while Axel is down on the mat, Shane getting himself back up while Ruler does so trailing closely behind him.
Stew-O: SHANE THEN GRABS RULER AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! HE THEN GOES FOR THE RIPCORD LARIAT! ‘SUFFER AS ONE’ ATTEMPT TRYING TO TAKE A HOLD OF THE OPPORTUNITY WHILE HE CAN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’! SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: AXEL GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TRIES TO GO FOR RULER TO SAVE THIS MATCH…
Stew-O: BUT RULER NAILS A ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ ON HIM AS WELL! AXEL IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE CANVAS WHILE HE HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS BE IT FOR THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE???
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Prices’ is heard playing through the speakers as Ruler pushes himself off of Axel Graves and begins to rise back up to his feet. He looks around at the crowd who continue to shower him in a negative reaction, before closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. The referee makes his way over and raises his hand into the air before Ruler from there begins to celebrate a well earned victory here tonight on Dynasty.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Well that was definitely a jam-packed fatal four way that we’ve just gotten the opportunity to witness here tonight. Each of these Elitists laid it all on the line for the opportunity to make a statement ahead of such a huge match, but when it was all said and done it was Ruler who managed to rise up above all and stand victorious.
Stew-O: And I’m sure Ruler is going to be keeping watch for what happens later tonight in the other Grand Rampage preview match, with whoever wins that definitely being one of the biggest targets on the Dynasty brand heading into it. He’s looking to show that he’s at the top of the pack though, and maybe that means getting involved somehow, who really knows. Regardless, this is his victory to savor in the current moment, and I have nothing but congratulations for him tonight!
(Ruler drops down and rolls out of the ring, beginning to make his way up the ramp. A few shots show the losers of this match looking unhappy about what happened, as the last shot shown is Ruler disappearing through the backstage area while Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back to show the backstage area, it’s the camera focusing on The Queen Bee’s Mei Sasaki making her way through the halls, with the crowd booing loudly upon seeing her. She has her ring gear on, preparing for her match later in the night alongside Serenity Valdez against Soul Food Sunday, but right now looking to accompany Sierra Bradford in her match against Cameron Ella Ava. She’s minding her own business before suddenly… something stops her. She looks up as a pair of footsteps are heard making their way over to her.)
???: Fancy seeing you here, Mei…
(The camera pans over to show two women in the frame, with the crowd erupting to see Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade of The Jaded Hearts approach her. Sienna has a smirk on her face while Kassidy bears a nonchalant expression, Mei not at all looking to start conversation with the two of them despite the connection that they have with one another.)
Sienna Jade: You know, I for one was quite disgusted that Serenity would try and use our connection with one another to stack the odds against yet another opponent that she can’t beat. Quite petty, don’t you think?
(Mei rolls her eyes, seeing exactly where this is going before shaking her head.)
Mei Sasaki: I don’t have time for this, now get out of my way-
Kassidy Heart: It would be in your best interest to hear what she has to say.
(Kassidy glares at Mei after she interrupts her, and Mei surprisingly for the moment backs down. Sienna, with a pleased look on her face, continues to speak.)
Sienna Jade: Relax, Mei, you think we’d try and push you around? What type of mentors would we be if we did that? Regardless of the path that you’ve taken you’re still our problem, and while I’m proud of you for managing to get this far in EAW, I’m equally as disappointed in the path that you’ve taken to get there.
Mei Sasaki: That’s great to hear, get to the point. I have things to do, I don’t at all have time for any of this. I thought you two were too big league to mess with someone like myself anyway, what’s the deal?
Sienna Jade: The point is that we know you, in-and-out, and we know the potential that you have as an Elitist in this company. We also know how much of that is being squandered, being hung up on a string the way that you have, and it makes me ask, wouldn’t you be more satisfied with your career if you carved your own path for yourself? I hope you understand that this entire Queen Bees agenda of success for all three of you equally is an absolute hoax, and the only reason you’re kept around alongside Sierra is the fact that Serenity needs the two of you to get ahead in her own ambitions. She gives nothing back to you, and you’re forced to take the brunt of the damage that’s thrown at the team’s direction.
Kassidy Heart: And in case it wasn’t made apparent already, we didn’t just train you to be a follower or a minion. We trained you to be the very best like the two of us, and my silence on the matter tells just how disappointed I am that you haven’t been able to live up to those expectations, understand?
(Mei bows her head down for a moment, thinking about what the two of them are saying. It seems like for a moment, she gives into what they’re saying, but she quickly shakes her head, an annoyed look on her face as she looks back up at them.)
Mei Sasaki: No, I don’t, and forgive me for this sounding like I’m not appreciative for all that you’ve done, because I am, none of you seem to understand the full picture of all of this. If that narrative was even remotely close to being true, then I would’ve left Serenity’s side a long time ago and done my own thing, I’m not stupid. But as soon as I stepped through those doors, Serenity was the one that took me in and helped me make it big time in ways that the two of you would never be able for. So let me give you some breaking news to digest before I leave, unlike The Jaded Hearts, The Queen Bees are family. We have no plans of breaking up regardless of whatever happens, and we will never have any sort of tension with one another because we’re not just a real team, but real sisters as well, not singles stars in competition with one another masquerading as a team of legacy manufacturing purposes. So I’m sorry if you only came here to try and create some sort of rift between the three of us, but you failed, bye.
(Mei walks past the two of them and begins to make her way out of the scene, with both members of The Jaded Hearts turning and watching her leave. Sienna looks at Kassidy before shrugging her shoulders.)
Sienna Jade: At least she can’t say we didn’t try and get her out of this situation before we tore them apart.
Kassidy Heart: I’ve already had enough Queen Bees bickering for the month, let’s go.
(Both Kassidy and Sienna make their way out of the scene, not at all surprised with what happened here tonight as they leave. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn plays out Cameron Ella Ava to a mixed reaction from fans, not that she cares, focused on the task ahead as she saunters toward the ring, blocking out any reaction she garners, and solely focused on payback for last week.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out of Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 140 pounds…SHE IS THE SERPENTT…CAMERON ELLA AVA!
Flannery McCoy: Cameron Ella Ava is a woman possessed it seems, focused on enacting revenge for last weekz
Stew-O: Who wouldn’t be? She got three-on-one attacked by the Queen Bees, and left laying, definitely not the way a Hall of Famer wants to be treated.
Jake Mercer: Perhaps Cameron will show Queen Bees aren’t the only ones with tricks up their sleeves.
(‘Figure 8’ by Paramore is second to play, and out comes Sierra to a mostly negative reaction from fans. She’s being flanked by Mei Sasaki, who’s hyping her partner up as she marches to the ring, barely taking her eyes off Cameron.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent! Hailing out of San Jose, California, weighing in at 121 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Mei Sasaki…SHE IS THE KILLER QUEEN…SIERRA!!
Stew-O: She may have the numbers, but she doesn’t have the experience of Cameron, who must use her mind to outsmart Sierra.
Flannery McCoy: Experience doesn’t make anyone bulletproof, whether you are a Hall of Famer, anyone can be defeated on any given day.
Stew-O: Will that prove true for Cameron?
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, the match is officially underway. Both competitors circle one another, and lock up in the center of the ring, jockeying for position. Cameron manages to get the upper hand with a standing side headlock, and continues to tighten her hold over Sierra, who bounces Cameron off the ropes to escape!
Flannery McCoy: Ava comes back with a shoulder tackle that takes down Sierra, and allows Cameron to run off the ropes beside her! Sierra rolls to her stomach, forcing Cameron to hop over her like a hurdle, and run off the ropes a second time. Sierra rushes to her feet, and leapfrogs over Cameroon… HIP TOSS! Hip toss by Sierra!
Stew-O: Cameron gets to a knee, favoring her back, and stares daggers into Sierra, who taunts her. Cameron gets back to her feet, and both women circle each other for a second time before locking up in the center of the ring! Again, Cameron gets the advantage early with a standing side headlock, and since it worked before, Sierra looks to have a repeat of earlier by bouncing Cameron off the ropes to escape!
Flannery McCoy: Cameron comes back with a second shoulder tackle, knocking Sierra down, and runs off the ropes again! Sierra rolls to her belly, and Cameron hops over her again. Leapfrog by Sierra! Sierra tries for a hip toss as Cameron came rebounding off the ropes again, BUT CAMERON BLOCKS IT, AND SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM WITH A HIP TOSS OF HER OWN! Sierra is back to her feet rather quickly, and makes a beeline towards Cameron, BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER HIP TOSS! Quick cover by Cameron, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
T-
Jake Mercer: That was an easy kickout for Sierra, WHO ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH A FUJIWARA ARMBAR BY CAMERON AFTER THE KICKOUT! But Sierra snatches her arm back, and rolls away from Cameron in a hurry. Both women get to a knee, and lock eyes, being evenly matched at this moment.
Flannery McCoy: Part of that falls on Sierra, who tried repeating the same sequence of events from earlier in the ring with a veteran like Cameron. If she makes a mistake, she won’t make it again for a second time, that’s for certain. She is always learning, always evolving in between the squared circle.
Stew-O: Both women circle each other for a third time, and begin closing the distance between each other as Sierra raises her hand high, signaling for a test of strength. Cameron isn’t afraid of the prospect, and engages in the Greco-Roman knuckle lock, backing Sierra into the corner. The referee intervenes, and gives Cameron til the count of five before she’s disqualified to relinquish the hold.
Referee: One! Two!
Flannery McCoy: Ava breaks the hold early, raising both hands high in the air to show she is in zero contact with Sierra. SIERRA TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A BOOT TO THE UNPROTECTED MIDSECTION OF CAMERON, DOUBLING HER OVER! Sierra fights her way out of the corner with repeated right hands shots to the face, and leans Cameron up against the ropes for an irish whip!
Jake Mercer: Sierra leaps in the air for a front dropkick it seems, but lands flat on her back as Cameron grabbed hold of the ropes, and floats over Bradford for a jackknife cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Both competitors scramble back to their feet after a kick out by Sierra! BRADFORD PICKS UP STEAM FOR A BICYCLE KICK, BUT ITS SIDESTEPPED BY CAMERON! Ava spins Sierra around, and backs her up against the ropes with forearm shots to the face! With her opponent stunned momentarily, Cameron goes for an irish whip, but Sierra reverses at the last minute, sending Cameron towards the ropes instead!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra uses Cameron’s momentum against her, grabbing the back of Ava’s neck, and sending her out through the middle rope! Cameron lands on her feet, and Sierra realizes this as she turns around. Bradford runs off the ropes, going for a BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! But Cameron side steps that as well, causing Sierra to wind up sliding outside the ring, underneath the bottom rope, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A WONDER WOMAN PUNCH!
Stew-O: That was a stiff forearm shot by Cameron, which spun Sierra around off impact, causing her to stumble a bit as she favors her jaw. But Cameron needs to keep an eye out for Mei as well, who appeared to be sneaking up behind her. However, Cameron was one step ahead, sensing Mei was there, and spinning around to face her. If Mei wants to attack Cameron, it’ll have to be face-to-face.
Jake Mercer: NO! Sierra interjects herself back into the action, coming from behind, and shoving Cameron face first into the ringpost as Mei got out of the way! My sources told me there were bound to be shenanigans with Mei ringside, and they were right!
Flannery McCoy: As usual, Queen Bee members are using the numbers to their advantage.
Stew-O: It’s a sound strategy from Sierra, as when you’re in the ring against an EAW Hall of Famer, you’ll need any advantage you can get.
Jake Mercer: Besides, Mei did nothing illegal, she didn’t lay a finger on Cameron. Cameron lost her focus, and paid the price for it.
Flannery McCoy: Cameron is on wobbly legs after going face first in the ringpost, and Sierra follows that up, driving Cameron back first into the barricade! Sierra is not afraid of using the environment to her advantage, and rolls Cameron back inside the ring, having the momentum firmly in her favor at the moment.
Stew-O: Sierra climbs to the top turnbuckle, and stalks Cameron, watching as she gets to a vertical base. DIVING HURRICANRANA BY SIERRA! Bradford crawls into a cover, wasting zero time!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Kickout! As expected, Cameron still has fight left in her, and refuses to go down that easy. But I don’t think it’s an issue for Sierra, who’s going to continue inflicting punishment on Cameron, looking to make her regret kicking out as she presses her boot on the side of Cameron’s face. The referee intervenes as Sierra shows no signs of letting up.
Referee: One! Two!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra relents at two, and Cameron sits up, clutching at the side of her face. SIERRA RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HER, AND KNOCKS CAMERON BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SKULL! Cover is made, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Again, Cameron kicks out at two! Sierra ups the aggression, mounting Cameron with right hands to the face before pulling her back to a vertical base, having a handful of hair. Wait! Cameron fights back as she gets to a knee, scoring with a shot to the rib cage! Sierra spins around, and holds her ribs, but looks to regain the advantage, going for a right hand to the kneeling Ava!
Jake Mercer: Cameron pops to her feet, blocks it, firing back with a right hand of her own! She follows that up with a forearm strike that staggers Sierra back a bit! Cameron grabs her opponent’s wrist for an irish whip to the corner, but Sierra reverses, sending Cameron towards the corner instead!
Flannery McCoy: SIERRA RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER FOR MOMENTUM, AND GOES FOR A STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE IN THE CORNER! CAMERON AVOIDS IT AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SIERRA FAVORS HER KNEE AFTER IT COLLIDED WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SIERRA GETS SPUN AROUND BY CAMERON FOR A FALCONS ARROW, AND AVA PULLS SIERRA’S LEG BACK FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: That was a high impact maneuver from Cameron, which came closest to a three count in this contest. Cameron pulls Sierra back to her feet, and pops her in the mouth with a forearm smash, which Cameron has relied heavily on in this contest. Sierra gets irish whipped off the ropes, and Cameron goes for a clothesline! BUT SIERRA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES- OOH! SHE HAS HER MOMENTUM HALTED BY A BACK BODY DROP FROM CAMERON! AVA GOES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Flannery McCoy: SHOULDER UP! You can tell off Candice’s face, she didn’t expect it to be that easy, but it was worth a shot on her end to try, and put Sierra away here.
Jake Mercer: These two would’ve been at risk for zero stars had this match ended in a back body drop of all things.
Stew-O: I don’t think stars is the concern for either women. But Cameron gets to her feet before Sierra, and stalks Bradford as she gets to all fours, beginning to stir herself. Cameron wraps her arms around the waist of Sierra, grabbing her in a rear waistlock, and pulls her opponent to a vertical base. She could possibly be looking for a german suplex, but Sierra avoids it with a go behind, grabbing Cameron in a rear waistlock now.
Flannery McCoy: SIERRA GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HER OWN, BUT CAN ONLY GET CAMERON HALFWAY UP BEFORE SHE REVERSES IT WITH A VICTORY ROLL!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! CAMERON ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND SIERRA SCRAMBLES TO HERS! SIERRA DELIVERS A BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION OF CAMERON, DOUBLING HER OVER FOR A LIFTING DDT, DUMPING CAMERON ON HER HEAD, AND SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHH-
Stew-O: Kickout! Frustration is beginning to form on Sierra’s face. Mei is watching this match intently, firmly rooting for her partner, who is having trouble putting away Ava. Cameron gets to both knees, and Sierra starts to pepper her with repeated shoot kicks to the chest! Sierra backs away for a moment, and swings for a roundhouse kick to the head!
Jake Mercer: CAMERON DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND ROLLS SIERRA UP WITH A SCHOOL GIRL! HOWEVER, DOESNT HOLD THE PIN, AND ROLLS SIERRA THROUGH TO A KNEE! CAMERON BUILDS MOMENTUM FOR A GODDESS RISING IT SEEMS, BUT SIERRA USES SAID MOMENTUM AGAINST HER, GRABBING CAMERON BY THE FRONT OF HER TRUNKS FOR LEVERAGE, AND PULLING HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: SIERRA RUNS OFF THE ROPES AS CAMERON GETS TO HER FEET, AND TRIES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER WONDER WOMAN PUNCH AS SHE TRIED SOARING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! THE FOREARM CAUSES SIERRA TO FALL FLAT ON THE CANVAS, AND CAMERON SLIDES IN, GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEE-
Stew-O: STILL NOT ENOUGH TO PUT SIERRA AWAY AS SHE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Worry is starting to show on Mei’s face, she thought it was possible that Cameron could’ve had Sierra there, and to be perfectly honest, so did I. Cameron had caught Sierra flush with that forearm. Speaking of, Sierra tries creating separation between herself and Cameron, pulling herself up in the corner.
Flannery McCoy: Cameron whips Sierra to the opposite, and charges in! RUNNING CLOTHESLINE BY CAMERON, WHO RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE- BUT GETS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH A CORNER STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE BY SIERRA! BRADFORD RUNS TOWARD THE OPPOSITE CORNER FOR MOMENTUM, BUT SIMILAR TO SIERRA, CAMERON TRAILS BEHIND HER!
Stew-O: BRADFORD REALIZED THIS AFTER MEI ALERTED HER FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND SPRINGED OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE IN THE CORNER FOR A SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT! FAIRYTALE KILLER! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! SIERRA POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, HAVING ALMOST BEATEN CAMERON RIGHT THEN AND THERE! BRADFORD GETS TO HER FEET, SIGNALING THE BEGINNING OF THE END, AND LIFTS CAMERON UP FOR MESSAGE FROM THE STARS! FIRST COMES THE BACKBREAKER RACK… THEN COMES THE KNEE LIFT!
Flannery McCoy: CAMERON CAUGHT THE KNEE, AND LIFTS SIERRA UP ON HER SHOULDERS IN A FIREMANS CARRY! TKO! CAMERON CAUGHT WITH THE TKO, BETTER KNOWN AS NO BODY, NO CRIME! MEI IS PANICKING ON THE OUTSIDE, YELLING FOR A MOTIONLESS SIERRA TO KICKOUT AS CAMERON SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE’S YOUR WINNERR…CAMERON ELLA AVA!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn plays to a mostly positive reaction from fans, happy to see Cameron triumph over Sierra. Someone who isn’t, however, is Mei, who checks on Sierra on the outside as Bradford rolls out of the ring. Meanwhile, Cameron gets her hand raised in victory.)
Jake Mercer: What a win for Cameron Ella Ava!
Stew-O: It was a hard fought contest on both sides, but experiences beats out-
Flannery McCoy: Wait a minute!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn abruptly cuts off as Mei slides in the ring, looking to sneak attack Cameron!)
Flannery McCoy: CAMERON! MEI TRIED TO BLINDSIDE HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT CAMERON SAW IT COMING, DUCKING UNDERNEATH, AND CATCHING MEI OFF GUARD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL!
Stew-O: MEI CAN BARELY STAND, AND IS ON WOBBLY LEGS BEFORE COLLAPSING DOWN TO A KNEE! …GODDESS RISING!
Flannery McCoy: ONE DOWN, GUESS WE CAN ADD ANOTHER TO THAT LIST!
(Cameron rises to her feet, and sticks her head out through the middle rope, requesting, and getting a microphone handed to her as she walks to the center of the ring, and has her focus directly on the stage area.)
Cameron Ella Ava: SERENITY! I’ve already took out two of your girls, so why don’t you get out here, and try dropping me like you did last week!
(The crowd roars at the prospect of seeing Serenity and Cameron duke it out, no outside forces involved. Cameron is gesturing for Serenity to come down to the ring, but her theme music never hits, leaving Cameron to chuckle a bit at Serenity not showing her face to help out either Mei or Sierra.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Don’t want to show your face? Okay, maybe you need a bit more time to prepare yourself, so I’ll give you exactly that. Serenity, you versus me… GRAND RAMPAGE!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn plays for a second time, and she throws the mic down before exiting the ring.)
Stew-O: I’m shocked Serenity wouldn’t come out to aid either Sierra or Mei tonight.
Flannery McCoy: You can have someone else’s back, doesn’t mean they’ll have yours.
(The camera cuts elsewhere on a shot of Cameron heading up the ramp, and looking back at the damage she caused proud.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcoming back to Friday Night Dynasty airing to you live from the WVU Coliseum here in Morgantown, West Virgina. I am joined here tonight by none other than EAW Hall of Famer, Madison Kaline.
(A shot shows off Madison dressed in her ring gear, ready to go. She offers a simple nod to Michael, though her face is completely serious.)
Michael Belfort: Now, Madison, I know a lot of people have been wondering what your plans are now that the partnership between you and the Queen Bees is ov–
(All of a sudden, she raises a finger. Michael stops. An uneasy feeling fills the air as Madison slowly shakes her head and gives a low, grumbling chuckle. She turns her head towards him and smiles. However, it isn’t the friendly sort.)
Madison Kaline: Oh, no, Michael. Let’s not entertain those three worthless, little girls by calling them ‘queens’. Still, you want to know how I’m feeling? I think I made it perfectly clear this week in preparation for my match tonight how I feel. Even then though, do you people honestly think I’d be ecstatic? It’s bad enough that people think that what happened at Operation: Doomsday gives them the rest to step up to the Mistess of Death and disrespect me all because I lost, least of all those stupid little gnats who continue to have my name in their mouths and besmirch it every chance they have. I don’t appreciate it. I don’t like it. In fact, if I hadn’t been so busy trying to get ready for this match as soon as I arrived to this arena, I would’ve taken the extra time today to find those three and send them into the ‘Afterlife’.
(Madison face controts into a sharp frown.)
Madison Kaline: Now, I don’t mind taking responsibility for when things don’t go well for me. After all, this season hasn’t been the best. However, for them to direct all of the blame on me is something I won’t allow. Really, they should be thankful I even bothered to do some charity work to help them out. If I still don’t have any value as so many people, from them to my opponents tonight, have said time and time again, then why did they come to me? They needed that legitimacy. They needed my experience, my pedigree to help them out. Without me, they wouldn’t have been able to redeem their loss to the Off-Brand Amphetamines that one Dynasty. Without me, they wouldn’t have even been able to touch, let alone stand in front of Sienna Jade and tear her down. I’ve helped embolden them to make sure that they were being taken seriously, and without me, they wouldn’t even be here still as a team. They have been able to cling on to the bit of success they have because of me. Do you get it?
Michael Belfort: Yeah, I get it. I think I do.
Madison Kaline: If only everyone else could be as bright as you, Michael. But sadly, they don’t see it that way. Or, maybe they do but they just don’t want to admit that because three inexperienced little brats having to admit that they had a superior over them would be a blow to their egos or something. Now, they get to sink back to irrelevancy, and that’s absolutely not my problem. I tried to help them, but they bit the hand that fed them and they continue to do so. So? Let them starve, I say.
Michael Belfort: Well, your alliance with them is over with, that much is certain. So, with them behind you, what do you plan on doing now? At this point, we are nearing the end of this season, and many Elitists are seeking to earn their position in the famed Pain for Pride event by having a good showing at Grand Rampage.
(Madison nods, rubbing her hands as a smirk crosses her face.)
Madison Kaline: Of course I have ambitions of my own. After wasting my time sticking my neck out for a group women who never appreciated me yet again, it’s about time that I get selfish once more. My efforts should be focused on me and me alone, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing. That’s exactly how I want things to be from now on. No more distractions, and no more worrying about other people. It’s already news by now that I’m going to be in the actual Grand Rampage match. Granted, I am a hall of famer and had a career that many women to this day still want, but there a couple of things I want to achieve before I am truly satisfied and ready to move on. I came back to EAW for a reason, and that’s the further solidify my legacy. If I won the Grand Rampage match and went on to become a world champion, then that’ll do wonders for me. That will show that I can actually hang with the best of today and stamp my name in this era of EAW.
(With a confident grin, she places her hands on her hips.)
Madison Kaline: And that’s exactly what I intend on doing. So, tonight? I’m going to give everyone a preview and show to everyone, including Bronson, Joso and Kirk that I haven’t lost touch. I’m in my prime, ready to go, and I’m going to take action by winning this fatal four way match. Everyone is going to be made an example of, and they’re going to help send out a clear-cut message for me: you can’t kill the Mistress of Death.
(Madison laughs as she departs.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with a shot of Stephie Love standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand being shown as she begins to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The following is a GRAND RAMPAGE PREVIEW MATCH!!! And it is a fatal four way set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Trophies’ by Drake is heard playing through the speakers to the sound of a mixed reaction from the crowd as a smug looking Joso is seen beginning to make his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a smirk on his face as he poses at the center, before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… ‘THE NEW ERA’… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Sabotage’ by The Beastie Boys is then heard beginning to play up with a very serious Kirk Redwood jerking the backstage curtain and beginning to storm out to the ring. Seeing that his tag team partner wasn’t successful in his match earlier in the night, he looks to make up for it as he makes a bee line straight toward the ring, not wasting any time and more than ready to get this match underway.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Boston, Massachusetts… weighing in at 210 pounds… ‘UNKILLABLE’… KIRK REDWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff is then heard playing up with Madison Kaline being seen making her way out from the backstage area and to the stage with the crowd giving a loud mixed reaction for the EAW Hall of Famer. She takes a moment to look around and take it all in, before looking toward the stage and then beginning to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Tampa Bay, Florida… weighing in at 120 pounds… ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’… MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is then heard with the crowd cheering loudly for Bronson Daniels who is seen making his way out. He has a confident look on his face as he has his arms raised in the air, taking the time to hype up the crowd while taking a circle around. He warms up before popping his neck and then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… residing in Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 210 pounds… ‘THE ANSWER’… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Oh my, have I been waiting for this! A fatal four way Grand Rampage preview match between some of Friday Night Dynasty’s best! Bronson Daniels, Joso, Madison Kaline, Kirk Redwood of the Off-Brand Amphetamines, all of them tailing off of another fatal four way of the same nature earlier in the night, and all of them looking to make a statement heading into the Grand Rampage Marquee Event! KIRK REDWOOD RUSHES TOWARD MADISON- BUT MADISON GOES UNDER AND LIFTS HIM INTO A SNAKE EYES ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! She then turns around and makes her way over to another opponent, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO CATCH HER WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! Madison rolls away in retreat, WHILE JOSO RUSHES OVER- ONLY FOR BRONSON TO SEE IT COMING AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ARM DRAG!
Flannery McCoy: Joso rolls up to a kneeling position, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO GET UP AND ATTEMPT A KICK TO HIS FACE- BUT JOSO MANAGES TO BLOCK IT WITH HIS FOREARMS! He gets back up to his feet, before nailing him with a right hand to the face! This sends Bronson backward against the ropes, WHILE JOSO RUSHES FORWARD AND LOOKS TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT BRONSON GOES UNDER AND SENDS HIM OVER INSTEAD AS THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION CRASHES AND BURNS AT RINGSIDE! Bronson is back up as he runs to the ropes and back while Joso tries to get his bearings… LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TRYING TO ATTEMPT A HUGE TOPE CON HILO!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO PUSHES MADISON INTO THE WAY AND MANAGES TO RETREAT! Madison is taken out by Bronson but he is already back up to his feet with zero remorse, hot on the trail of Joso who rounds the corner, while Bronson grabs him by the head- ONLY FOR JOSO TO TURN AROUND AND GRAB BRONSON BY THE ARM BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE RINGPOST FACEFIRST! This knocks him down to the ground while Joso falls backward against the ringpost, pushing himself off after he’s taken a moment to recover, BUT MADISON CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE TO TAKE HIM OUT AS WELL!
Stew-O: She did not take that fall very well and looks to beat down Joso to reprimand it, but Kirk is already out of the ring and following them as well as he turns around Madison before nailing her with a strike to the face! He then proceeds to grab her by the head, BEFORE SLAMMING HER AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE! Madison manages to keep herself up while Kirk still has a hold of her as well, LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A SNAKE EYES OF HIS OWN ONTO THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON THIS TIME! This knocks the Hall of Famer down to the ground and Kirk looks to stalk some different prey, making his way over to Joso and bringing him back up…
Flannery McCoy: But Joso is beginning to fire away with repeated shots to the abdomen to stop him in his tracks! He then proceeds to grab him around the waist, BEFORE RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND SENDING HIM INTO THE RINGPOST AT FULL FORCE! Kirk’s spine bounces off the steel as he collapses down to the ground, with Joso now looking toward Bronson, and then proceeding to slowly raise him back up to his feet. Whatever he has in mine for him here, it’s definitely not going to be good… AS HE LIFTS HIM UP AND RUNS HIM INTO THE RINGPOST AS WELL WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL LAWN DART!
Jake Mercer: Bronson falls limp down to the ground and Joso takes advantage, grabbing his head and dragging him back up to his feet before rolling him into the ring. He quickly jumps onto the apron and slips through the ropes, approaching while he has the chance… LIFTING HIM INTO A ‘CRIMSON PEAK’ ATTEMPT! STYLES CLASH!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO BRING HIS UPPER BODY UP AND NAIL A PUNCH TO JOSO’S FACE! He maneuvers himself to a seated position on Joso’s shoulders, BEFORE SWINGING AROUND AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HURRICANRANA! Bronson is back up to his feet before then proceeding to run to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE FACE TO KEEP HIM DOWN! This is a turn of events that Joso didn’t anticipate nor want at the same time. He’s going to have to find a way out of this quickly.
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile it seems like both Madison and Kirk have found themselves face-to-face once again on the outside. Madison nails Kirk with a punch to the face, and before he can respond she follows that up with a knee to the abdomen! This doubles Kirk over before Madison then proceeds to grab him by the head, SLAMMING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Kirk grabs the back of his head while Madison brings him back up to his feet, THEN PROCEEDING TO LIFT HIM UP OFF THE GROUND WITH AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF STRENGTH INTO A SCOOP SLAM ATTEMPT- NO! Kirk manages to slip out and land behind Madison, BEFORE GRABBING HER BY THE HEAD AND SENDING HER INTO THE BARRICADE AT FULL FORCE!
Jake Mercer: Kirk then seems to be breaking away from Madison, turning around and rolling into the ring while Bronson stomps down on Joso, making sure to have the upperhand on him at all times. Kirk turns him around, before pushing him up against the ropes and sending him to the opposite side… CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! Bronson is dropped down to a seated position while Kirk grabs him by the head and begins to bring him back up… BEFORE GOING FOR A SUPLEX!
Stew-O: But Bronson begins to send punches to the abdomen to force him away! It’s clear that he can’t afford any more offense taken right now and is going to make sure that he doesn’t need to concern himself with that moving forward in this match. Kirk separates himself from Bronson before attempting to swing at him- BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A PUMP KICK TO THE FACE! Bronson then runs to the ropes and back while Kirk is down on the canvas… LOOKING FOR “FLYING BRONSONS’ THE BOOM DROP!
Flannery McCoy: BUT WHILE HE’S RUNNING JOSO MANAGES TO LIFT HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION, BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM! ‘RUNAWAY’ CONNECTS AND TAKES BRONSON DOWN AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS THAT INTO A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHH-
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THE ATTEMPT! It was a close call by Joso and definitely a smart move to catch Bronson off guard, it just wasn’t enough at that moment to get the job done. Joso is back up to his feet, BUT DOESN’T HAVE A MOMENT TO REST AS MADISON KALINE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF OF THE ROPES AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE SWINGING HIM AROUND AND SPIKING HIM DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A TORNADO DDT! Madison interjects herself back into this match and now looks to pick up where Joso left off, turning over and awaiting Bronson to get back up to his feet… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A ‘M.O.D’ ATTEMPT! LEG DROP BULLDOG!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND AS HE CATCHES HER ONTO HIS SHOULDERS INSTEAD! He keeps her up, breathing a sigh of relief having gotten himself out of that, BEFORE LOOKING TO THROW MADISON OUT OF THE RING! But before that can happen it’s Madison that manages to grab a hold of the top rope and land onto the apron! Bronson falls against the ropes, AND IS MET WITH A SHARP SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN! Madison then leaps up off the ropes, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE WHICH TAKES BRONSON DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Madison rolls back up to her feet and turns around, ONLY TO BE NAILED FROM BEHIND WITH A CHOP BLOCK BY KIRK! He then proceeds to take a step back, BEFORE BOOTING HER AGAINST THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN! Kirk takes her down after all the carnage has subsided, leaving him as the only person standing inside the ring for the time being. But of course that’s short lived with Joso managing to get himself up and against the corner, WITH KIRK RUSHING FORWARD AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, SENDING KIRK SJPULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST AND TAKING HIM OUT! The former Interwire Champion gets himself out of a tough situation like that one, BUT IS MET WITH ANOTHER WITH BRONSON CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO SEND HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER AFTER KIRK HAS ROLLED OUT OF THE RING! Bronson then makes his way over and grabs him by the head before throwing him down toward the center of the ring, then beginning to make his way up to the top rope while Joso is struggling to get back up to his feet. He’s primed and ready to go and it seems like right now that Joso is absolutely defenseless as he turns himself over to face him…
Stew-O: BUT BEFORE BRONSON CAN TAKE OFF IT’S MADISON THAT SHOVES JOSO INTO HIM, CAUSING HIM TO LOOSE BALANCE! Bronson tumbles downward but manages to catch himself by landing on the apron while Joso is once again back against the corner, AND MADISON STRIKES WHILE THE IRON IS HOT BY CONNECTING WITH A ROPE ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TO SEND HIM FLYING OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO THE GROUND! Madison shoves Joso away before making her way up to the top rope herself, with whatever in the world has to be on her mind right now while Bronson is recovering on the outside… WE DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR LONG, WITH MADISON LEAPING OFF AND CONNECTING WITH A ‘MADDIE BOMB’ ONTO THE OUTSIDE! THE HALL OF FAMER TAKES FLIGHT WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT!
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile Joso in the ring is not all that happy with the beatdown that he’s taken right now. On the other hand it seems that Kirk is not happy either with the attack on him by Joso, and is making his way over and beginning to land punches against his face! He brings him out of the corner before sending him to the ropes and back… BUT JOSO MANAGES TO USE THE MOMENTUM TO LAUNCH OFF OF THE ROPES AND ATTEMPT TO TAKE KIRK DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY- BUT KIRK MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM! Kirk then positions him… BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR TO SPIKE HIM DOWN WITH A TOMBSTONE! ‘DOWN TO HELL’ CONNECTS AND BEFORE KIRK CAN GO FOR THE PIN, JOSO QUICKLY ROLLS HIMSELF RIGHT OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Kirk is back up to his feet, BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T SEE IS BRONSON SLIDING INTO THE RING AND COMING IN FROM BEHIND BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BACKSTABBER! Kirk is dropped down to the mat while Bronson runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH ‘FLYING BRONSONS’! THE BOOM DROP CONNECTS AND TAKES KIRK OUT!
Stew-O: Bronson eyes Madison beginning to recover back up to her feet, seeing as he disposed of her before entering back into the fray, and wastes no time rushing up to the top turnbuckle and positioning himself… BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND TAKING HER OUT WITH A TRUST FALL! Bronson then rolls back into the ring… ONLY FOR A RECOVERING JOSO TO NAIL HIM WITH A SUPERKICK WITH THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY THAT HE HAS LEFT IN HIS BODY! Joso then sends him to the ropes and back…
Flannery McCoy: ONLY TO PULL HIM IN AND GO FOR A ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’ ATTEMPT! PACKAGE PILEDRIVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON SLIPS OUT BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A ‘BATMAN PUNCH’! SUPERMAN PUNCH AGAINST THE JAW DROPS JOSO! BRONSON FALLS BACK AGAINST THE CORNER, LOOKING READY TO GO RIGHT HERE AS JOSO IS RIGHT IN POSITION FOR HIM TO STRIKE!
Stew-O: ‘MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’! THE ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF JOSO TO FINISH THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’!
(Bronson is dropped down to the canvas as the crowd erupts into thunderous boos with Ruler sliding into the ring and nailing him with the Spinning Back Heel Kick. He stands over him with a displeased expression on his face, evidently unhappy with what happened at Operation: Doomsday and looking to take advantage of the fact that both of them are going to be in the Grand Rampage match. He looks over at a knocked out Joso before making his way over to him.)
Flannery McCoy: RULER SNATCHES THE ARM OF JOSO AND THROWS IT OVER THE BODY OF BRONSON! PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Trophies’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena while Ruler looks down at the scene in front of him with a smirk on his face. Joso is still out, with the referee making his way over to check on him and help him back up to his feet. Ruler toyingly kicks at the head of Bronson, feeling pleased at the statement he’s made tonight not just in his match but in this one as well as he turns around and begins to make his leave.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Joso begins to recover and realize what happened, seeing Ruler leave the ring. With the last bit of energy he has left he gets up to his feet, turning him around and beginning to yell at him. It’s clear he’s unhappy with how this turned out and didn’t want to get the win like this, and Ruler just does not care what Joso thinks at all. The two of them get into an argument before Joso turns away, thinking about his options for a moment before then proceeding to look back at him.)
Jake Mercer: AND HERE WE GO! RULER IS TACKLED DOWN TO THE GROUND BY JOSO AND ‘THE NEW ERA’ BEGINS TO ABSOLUTELY UNLOAD ON HIM WITH REPEATED STRIKES TO THE FACE! A BRAWL HAS UNFOLDED AND I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE VERY LONG BEFORE THE OTHERS JOIN IN!
Stew-O: BRONSON IS BEGINNING TO RECOVER AND REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED, AND MEANWHILE IT SEEMS LIKE KIRK HAS TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLOBBER A RECOVERING MADISON AT RINGSIDE AND STOMP DOWN ON HER, BEGINNING TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN WHILE MADISON BEGINS TO FIGHT BACK! IT’S NOT LONG EITHER BEFORE BRONSON LAUNCHES FORWARD AND BEGINS TO SEND BLOWS TOWARD RULER AND JOSO! WITH A THREE WAY BRAWL ON HER HANDS WHILE MADISON AND KIRK TRADE BLOWS!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S NOT DONE JUST YET!
(The crowd erupts while the camera goes over to show Solomon Stane, Axel Graves, and Shane Gates, all members of the previous Grand Rampage preview match, begin to storm down the ramp respectively, all of then looking to get a piece of the action as they send blows to one another as well.)
Jake Mercer: I CAN’T EVEN TELL WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! THERE’S AN 8-WAY BRAWL GOING ON INSIDE THE RING AND THE CARNAGE IS CLEARLY AT AN ALL TIME HIGH RIGHT NOW! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AND IT’S NOT LONG AFTER BEFORE OFFICIALS AND REFEREES RUSH DOWN TO THE RING TO GET THEMSELVES INVOLVED!
(Multiple security personnel and officials are trying to split up the brawls right now, as it’s been made apparent that this is getting out of hand very quickly. There’s no definite end to the brawl, as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty quickly cuts away to elsewhere from there.)
(Eventually, the Dynasty Broadcast would begin to return from commercial break, going from darkness, to a long shot of the arena. The camera would pan across the crowd, as people are seated. However, as they too notice that there is no longer any music playing nor the sound of the commercials, their heads would turn up as they see the cameras active. Some get off their feet, some remain seated, but before long most people would be up on their feet regardless. ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado would hit the speakers, as the crowd very quickly jump to making noise. A majority of that noise would be cheers, though some people still do not like Harper Lee – definitely reinforced by last week’s ‘Tempest’ event – as POTARA’s graphics would begin to play on the titantron, following an orange-and-blue half-and-half color scheme. Eventually, they would make their way through the curtains, Holly sporting a blue denim jacket over a black crop top and tight black leggings, and Harper wearing a white sweater alongside leather pants. Harper – due to the multiple curb stomps on the exposed turnbuckle – would quickly shield her eyes from the bright lights, presumably having covered them up or left them in the dark for most of the week to heal from the wounds. Holly would place an arm around Harper as the two walk down the ramp, muttering to her as she does so. Eventually, as Harper gets used to not shielding herself, she would make her way up the steps, as Holly does too, Harper entering the ring as Holly basks in the cheers.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen… Holly Arrow, Harper Lee… POTARA!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: And wouldn’t you know it? Just like last week, the girlfriend to my name twin Holly Arrow, and her tag team partner Harper Lee both on the Dynasty brand yet again!
Stew-O: The last time Harper Lee was here, as a member of the brand, she was challenging for and competing as the Unified Tag Team Champion, and it’s almost fitting that she’s back now to challenge the CURRENT Unified Tag Team Champions! Not to mention just a few weeks ago, POTARA made their in-ring-debut against none other than The Queen Bees.
Flannery McCoy: And of course, they won that match, but the question is; can they beat Soul Food Sunday at this year’s Grand Rampage event? I guess only time will tell!
(Eventually, Holly Arrow would enter the ring, as she walks to the hardcam, and spreads her arms wise while her jacket slides down her arms, posing just as she would on the stage. Eventually, the camera cuts to Harper, while still reeling from the damages done at Tempest, she too poses on the top rope. Slowly, she climbs down, and grabs a microphone for the two of them, walking to the center of the ring as their theme song fades out.)
Holly Arrow: Y’know, when we first became a team, the two of us made it loud and clear that we weren’t just going to sit and focus on one specific division. We’d take any road that comes to us, and that’s what we did. At King of Elite, I made my way to the Empress of Elite finals, winning matches across every brand, even winning multiple on Dynasty right here. A few months later, I was competing in a Fatal-Five-Way featuring what I eventually dubbed the “Showdown Pillars”, looking to compete for the Answers World Championship. Harper, too, went down that singles path. Facing off against Sheridan Muller and Madison Kaline, before going on to challenge Dr. Bethany Blue in her own right for the Universal Women’s Championship. Neither one of us, outside of our own words, went to claim the Unified Tag Team Championships, as that path really had closed for us. Empress of Elite, World Championship opportunities, it all required that sole focus. But now? That’s different.
Harper Lee: See, it was always inevitable that we’d work our way towards the Unified Tag Team Championships. There was no way we were going to align ourselves after going through hell and back month, after month, after month, realizing we have the exact same goal, and coming to the understanding that the most efficient way to achieve said goal is to do so together… and then not work together to get an accolade such as that. It was almost surprising that we challenged Soul Food Sunday last week, a long awaited Unified Tag Team Championship match, but to us? That really should have been expected. We know our own self worth. Holly and I know that she is Championship material, that she truly deserves to be Champion and has worked for it, not just that, but a future World Champion. Whereas myself? We both know that I am ALREADY a proven World Champion in the past. We both knew that we could do something like this, we both knew it would come to this, and we both knew that it’d lead to us combining to make a tag team that EAW hasn’t seen in quite some time. Out of anything, something we deserve, something we have BOTH been fighting for, is a shot at those Tag Titles.
(The crowd would cheer at the prospect of seeing POTARA challenging Soul Food Sunday.)
Holly Arrow: It was really only a matter of time before we did it. As Harper stated, it really is something that was to be expected. Yeah, we had our own ambitions to chase right after we formed, but it’s not like this isn’t something we didn’t want. We said right off the bat that we are looking for anything and everything. Including those two titles. Right now, quite frankly, was the best time for it. It’s a little disappointing to say that we’re not fighting for the opportunity to be raked in gold, it’s disappointing to say that we didn’t have the chance to stand here Universal Women’s Champion and Empress of Elite, but that really doesn’t matter in the slightest. The fact of the matter is, we are the best tag team in EAW, and we’re going to prove it. We’re going to give Soul Food Sunday a challenge they haven’t seen before. We’re going to give them the biggest fight they’ve had ever since forming, no matter which member combination it has been.
Harper Lee: I’m not gonna sit here and act like Soul Food Sunday aren’t good, it’s not like they’re some of the other teams we’ve faced where they just have no reason to have the hype they did, they’ve without a doubt proven they’re on the very top of their game. No doubt the most COMPLETE set of Tag Team Champions that EAW has seen in a long time. They’ve proven so by holding those belts for quite a while, by the time our match happens, it’ll be coming up on four months. But realistically, that’s a challenge we are so desperate to scale. That is the *perfect* way to straight up show that we’re not lying when we say we’re the best, and haven’t been lying even when we individually said it at the start of the season, to EACH OTHER. The combination of Holly Arrow and Harper Lee is unlike any other team in EAW, and unlike all those other teams, we’ll make good on our promises, and win what is only right for POTARA to obtain when the time comes.
(The crowd continues to cheer, despite the fact that it comes from the less-liked member of POTARA, however, those cheers would quickly be changed into boos as ‘Come Eat With Us’ by EST Gee & Young Scooter hits the speakers. Almost immediately do the entire crowd begin to rain down their hatred, as they all turn their attention to the stage, where Soul Food Sunday’s graphics would begin to play. Side-by-side-by-side walks out SOSA Henderson, The Visual Prophet, and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, all with grins and smirks on their faces. They make their way down the ramp, as POTARA step back to let them in the ring, not taking an eye off of the Unified Tag Team Championships that rest either on their shoulder or around their waist. Viz and SOSA hop up onto the apron, before stepping into the ring, as they stand across from their future challengers. With microphones in hand, their theme song would begin to fade out.)
SOSA Henderson: Listen… :mjgrin: The fact is… we wanted the Jaded Hearts. I know the tension here is a little frustrating for you guys, because I’m sure you both knew that, ain’t you? Y’all knew that we wanted those two instead, and we sat there and heard that frustration deep in your voices. Y’all wanted… y’all wanted to prove yourselves, right? Wanted to clear the doubt? Well, I guess we just wanted to apologize for not exactly being happy about what we got. I mean, the competition we were asking for was a hell of a lot more proven, a hell of a lot more marquee than you guys, but hey, we’d never turn our back to a fight.
The Visual Prophet: Exactly, SOSA! Chef Vizzy was waiting for two women made of plastic, not a (former) paper Champion, and someone who could only be a Champion on paper. But then again, we not just gonna sit here and say it ONLY has to be Jaded Hearts. If they ain’t want Viz SOSA just yet, that’s good. It’s Women’s History Month, of course! What kind of upstanding role models would we be if we had to decline two *very* talented women’s offer at a tag match? :mjlol: Nah, snap back to reality for a moment, y’all saw what happed to Dominion, right? You saw the example of what we made out of them, do y’all for real want to be next? :mjpls:
(Holly rolls her eyes as Harper sighs.)
Holly Arrow: Viz, with al due respect, we are FAR from Dominion. That mentor/student, deciding on a tag name AFTER the fact stuff? That isn’t us. No doubt two talented individuals, but it has been established the minute Harper and I became a duo in the first place; we are BETTER than Dominion. We were genuine bitter rivals for, like, over two years. We spent our whole careers hating one another, yet still was able to stand there, show each other deserved respect, and showed we had better in-ring-chemistry than even the greats. Whether it be one-off-teams or teams that have almost been around for a whole year, we beat them all, and that will include you two.
Harper Lee: We exceed Dominion in every single quality. We exceed The Queen Bees in every single quality. Sorry in advance, Holly, but we exceed the Haircare Kings in every single quality. And we aren’t going to make the same mistakes that any of those made. Not against you, not against anybody else. We’re a better duo than anyone you’ve beaten, and anyone that’s beaten you, and we’ll stop at nothing to make sure that we leave absolutely no doubt in anybody’s mind that we are the best tag team in this entire company. NOT excluding either of you. We’ll prove that by becoming Unified Tag Team Champions at Grand Rampage.
(Soul Food Sunday both chuckle to themselves.)
The Visual Prophet: Riiiight. Remember what I said earlier this week? Y’all sound like a good team initially, but so did Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. POTARA sounds like a mega-team til you realize there’s nothing mega about it, y’all just a team.
SOSA Henderson: No different from anyone else we’ve been, who’ve said the same things, in the same tone, and will fall the same way. Y’all don’t stand the chance you think you do, nevertheless stand a chance at being the BEST.
(Holly and Harper sigh, visibly annoyed at being brushed off by the Champs.)
Harper Lee: Mhm, alright then. We got your point. Instead, we’ll just see if you can even get past the worst tag team in this entire company before you can handle us. We don’t have anything to prove to you.
(Harper and Holly both stare at Soul Food Sunday, Viz and SOSA still amused, as the two of them walk past them and begin to exit through the ropes. Viz and SOSA watch them walk up the ramp, as the two begin to mutter to one another after dropping their microphones, backing off into their corner, as they await their next contest…)
(Dynasty fades to Serenity Valdez backstage. The crowd in the WUVC Coliseum is heard booing for the Empress of Elite, who is stretching. She is oh-so patiently waiting for Mei Sasaki, her partner for tonight as she takes on Soul Food Sunday. She stops stretching when she sees Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford. The two-thirds of the Queen Bees have taken quite a beating from Cameron Ella Ava earlier in the night.)
Serenity Valdez: Where in the world were you, guys? I thought I was going to have to embarrass Soul Food Sunday by myself.
Sierra Bradford: Where were we? Where were *you* to help us when dealing with Cameron Ella Ava a little earlier?
Mei Sasaki: It would have been nice for us to beat down on Cameron like we did last week. Where were you when Cameron was calling you out, challenging you to a match at Grand Rampage?
Serenity Valdez: Ladies, ladies, calm down. We don’t need this hostility right before this tag team match. We need to look at the bigger picture here. We proved last week that we were able to take down Cameron Ella Ava, so why do it this week? If anything, it seemed like the two of you were intervening in my business. I mean, I don’t think that I approved you, Mei, to go after Cameron? Why would I want to put you in harm’s way, knowing that we would have a match later in the night?
(Serenity Valdez places an arm around the shoulder of Mei Sasaki, who feels somewhat uncomfortable by the gesture. Then, Serenity looks at Sierra.)
Serenity Valdez: Your job was to take care of Cameron Ella Ava, Sierra. I had full confidence that you would be able to get the job done. Sigh, I digress. The Queen Bees will always find a way to prevail. I will get revenge for the both of you at Grand Rampage. How dare someone like Cameron think that she can put her hands on two innocent women? How dare Cameron think that she can take out her anger on the two of you. Her energy should be taken out on me, so that’s why we’ll meet at Grand Rampage. I will go into Grand Rampage to fight for the two of you and take down this old relic myself. We need to think of the bigger picture as we set our sights to the rest of this season, ladies. We can continue to think about the future after defeating Soul Food Sunday. Now, Mei, let’s head to the ring.
(Serenity Valdez has her arm still wrapped around Mei Sasaki’s shoulder as she escorts her out of the conversation. The last shot is of Sierra Bradford with her arms folded across her chest as the scene fades back to ringside.)
(‘Come Eat With Us’ by EST Gee & Young is heard playing through the speakers as the crowd has a standing ovation for the Unified Tag Team Champions, Soul Food Sunday – SOSA Henderson and The Visual Prophet, who are already inside the ring from the previous segment and getting ready for the match here tonight.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…WEIGHING IN THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF 456 POUNDS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…’BULLETPROOF’…SOSA HENDERSON AND ‘THE FOUNDER OF THE VISUAL PROPHET LEADERSHIP ACADEMY’….THE VISUAL PROPHET…SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Have you seen such black kings, Stew and Flann? Soul Food Sunday are also advocates of women in this company! Last week, they were out here, praising the women –
Flannery McCoy: I know that I’ve always kept it professional, but these men were WAY out of line last week. If it wasn’t for POTARA, I couldn’t imagine what Soul Food Sunday would have said. I did my best with Empire and being the best General Manager that I was for the brand. I was a team player through and through, even when I was relieved of my duties, but to say that I was spineless?
Stew-O: Take a deep breath, Flannery. You’ve been an amazing part of our commentary team these past couple of years now and Soul Food Sunday is not going to take that away from you.
(‘Run This Town’ by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z begins to blast through the speakers of the WUV Coliseum as ⅔ of the Queen Bees – Mei Sasaki and the Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez walk out, looking quite confident. Despite the little confrontation moments ago, the two women look to be focused about winning this match, moving that little disagreement to the side.)
Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE DARK KITSUNE’ … MEI SASAKI AND THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE…SERENITY VALDEZ…THE QUEEN BEES!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: I’m still a little like: “huh?” over the backstage confrontation between Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki to Serenity Valdez about her absence when dealing with Cameron Ella Ava earlier tonight. It did feel odd that Serenity wasn’t out there to accept the challenge that Cameron threw for Grand Rampage.
Jake Mercer: Not worth her time, Flann. Serenity Valdez already has a lot on her mind at the moment. Not only does she have all of these targets on her back, there are her obligations as Empress of Elite and then, there’s competing in this tag team match tonight. I think that Mei and Sierra need to see things from Serenity’s perspective. Serenity is under a lot of pressure and I think that by sitting down, I think that all three of them will be on the same page again. This is not the environment to talk about these things.
Stew-O: THIS IS THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT HAPPENED THOUGH, JAKE! The fact is that Serenity Valdez expected for the rest of the Queen Bees to clean up her mess and if that meant taking out Cameron Ella Ava, you can bet damn well, that is what she would have wanted. Now, they’re going up against the Unified Tag Team Champions, who are more insync with each other than the Queen Bees!
Jake Mercer: This is going to be one interesting match up here, so let’s get things underway!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: From the Queen Bees, it seems like the Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez will be beginning things off! From Soul Food Sunday, we’re going to see one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Visual Prophet! The two Elitists begin to circle around each other as Viz launches himself right at Serenity, but Serenity gets behind the referee of the match up, using him as a shield!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez is telling the referee to back The Visual Prophet away from her! The referee is going to comply with Serenity’s wishes as he is backing up Viz! The referee steps aside, letting the two Elitists lock up, but as Viz goes to lock up with Serenity, Serenity ducks her head to the outside and through the middle rope! Now, Serenity is gesturing for the referee to back Viz away from her! The Empress of Elite seems like she’s going with her usual mindgames to begin this match! When it comes to a bigger and tougher opponent like The Visual Prophet, Serenity knows that she needs to approach him in the most careful way possible!
Jake Mercer: My queens versus my brothers. As I said during the commercial break, you can’t have me decide between these two. Once again, the referee is standing in the middle, making sure that The Visual Prophet doesn’t take another step. Meanwhile, he is allowing for Serenity to get herself comfortable and get her head inside the ring! Once she does that, the referee steps aside, allowing for the two Elitists to circle around – NO, SERENITY TRIES TO GET A HEAD START BY WRAPPING HER ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF THE VISUAL PROPHET. PERHAPS, SHE’S LOOKING FOR A SUPLEX!
Stew-O: The Visual Prophet begins to gyrate in Serenity Valdez’ bubble! Immediately, Serenity releases her grasp in disgust! The Visual Prophet takes her back with an elbow shot to the face! He grabs Serenity from underneath the chin before connecting with a snapmare! Viz rebounds off the set of ropes in front of Serenity, connecting with a knee strike that knocks the Empress of Elite back! HE JUMPS OVER SERENITY, RUNNING TO THE SET OF ROPES BEHIND SERENITY, REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE BODY SPLASH ON SERENITY! HE CRUSHES SERENITY LIKE A FREAKING PANCAKE! THERE, HE PINS HER FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TT-
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez gets a shoulder up! The Visual Prophet gets himself to his feet as he walks backwards into his corner with SOSA Henderson and tags in SOSA into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: Here comes ‘Bulletproof’ SOSA Henderson! The Visual Prophet picks up Serenity Valdez and throws her into a beautiful dropkick by SOSA! Serenity is trying to get herself back to her feet, but SOSA takes her back to the horizontal set of ropes with a superkick! Now, SOSA proceeds to follow up that superkick with a knee strike to the face! This causes the Empress of Elite’s head to go back! SOSA grabs Serenity in a front headlock, but look at this – HE’S TRYING TO DANGLE HER FEET ON THE SECOND ROPE! HE PULLS HER BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DDT FROM THE SECOND ROPE! SERENITY’S HEAD IS DRIVEN INTO THE MAT!
(Mei Sasaki is yelling at SOSA Henderson from across from her. SOSA smirks and sarcastically waves at her, which seems to fire up Mei.)
Stew-O: Now, I believe that these are some of the mindgames from ‘Bulletproof’ SOSA Henderson, Jake and Flann! Mei Sasaki tries to enter the ring, BUT THE REFEREE STOPS HER! MEI AND THE REFEREE ARE ARGUING AMONGST EACH OTHER. MEANWHILE, LOOK AT SOUL FOOD SUNDAY! THE VISUAL PROPHET IS JOINING SOSA INSIDE THE RING! SOSA THROWS SERENITY INTO A SPEAR FROM THE VISUAL PROPHET AND VIZ IS ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! The referee is turning around as Soul Food Sunday where able to come out of the situation smelling like roses! Mei is looking frustrated about the situation as she tries to get Serenity Valdez back into this match! Things haven’t looked so good for the Empress of Elite! SOSA Henderson gets Serenity Valdez and throws her back into the corner with The Visual Prophet!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet is back in the match up! He hoists Serenity Valdez up and runs to the corner as Serenity gets rammed into that corner! Viz is connecting with some shoulder thrusts at the corner! Then, he picks up Serenity and sits her up on top of the turnbuckle! WITH THAT, HE GETS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, STANDING IN FRONT OF HER! IT SEEMS LIKE THE VISUAL PROPHET IS LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERPLEX SO EARLY ONTO THIS MATCH UP! HE DRAPS SERENITY’S ARM OVER THE BACK OF HIS NECK –
Jake Mercer: NO! MEI SASAKI IS YELLING, TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION OF ONE-HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! SHE IS TRYING TO GRAB SERENITY BY HER OTHER ARM, PULLING HER OUT OF HARM’S WAY! But, look at SOSA Henderson! He’s trying to pull Mei Sasaki by her legs and out of the ring! No! It seems like Mei is able to hold herself with one of the ropes! She connects with a back kick to the face of SOSA as that takes him back! Now, Mei gets herself into position before connecting with a hurricanrana, taking her and SOSA to the bottom of the ramp! WITH VIZ BEING DISTRACTED WITH THAT ALTERCATION, SERENITY VALDEZ MANAGES TO THUMB THE VISUAL PROPHET IN THE EYE! I DON’T THINK THAT THE REFEREE CAUGHT THAT THUMB TO THE EYE! These white referees, I swear! 🙄This causes for Viz to weaken his grasp on Serenity and for Serenity to sit on the shoulders of Viz and take him down with a reverse frakensteiner from the top rope! Viz manages to find himself in a seated position! Serenity gets to one of the sides of Viz and connects with a flower pot DDT on one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Stew-O: Nope! The Visual Prophet lifts Serenity Valdez up and throws her behind him! Serenity lands on her stomach first before trying to find her way to her knees! She sees that Viz is trying to find her way back to her feet as Serenity clutches to her ribs, while using her other hand to begin throwing punches to Viz’ face! Soon after, Serenity begins to rise back to her feet as she begins to stomp on the face and chest of The Visual Prophet! Mei Sasaki runs back to the corner of the Queen Bees as Serenity goes over to tag Mei into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: Now, we’re going to be seeing a bit of Mei Sasaki in this match up! Serenity Valdez gets The Visual Prophet to his knees as Mei and Serenity now have Viz by each arm before connecting with simultaneous knee strikes to the skull of the former World Heavyweight Champion! I believe the Queen Bees call that move, ‘Bend The Knee,’ but that move happened to knock The Visual Prophet back! Mei Sasaki is the sole Queen Bee inside the ring as she goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW–
Jake Mercer: Brotha Viz manages to power through with a kick out! He finds his way into a seated position as Mei Sasaki begins to apply a side headlock on The Visual Prophet! She drops down to one knee as she applies more pressure to the side headlock! Soon after, Mei releases her grasp! She races to the ropes in front of them, rebounds off of them and looks to connect with a knee strike, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO CATCH MEI BY THE KNEE AND HOISTS HER UP! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE VIZ IS GOING FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT MEI IS TRYING TO PUNCH HERSELF OUT OF THE MOVE! SHE MANAGES TO GET VIZ TO DROP DOWN TO ONE KNEE BEFORE SHE CONNECTS WITH A SUNSET FLIP ON THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! She finds herself on her feet, knowing that she cannot allow Viz to get up! SHE WAITS FOR THE SMALLEST OPENING OF VIZ TRYING TO GET UP BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS VIZ, NAILING HIM WITH A SPIKED HURRICANRANA DRIVER ON VIZ! MEI RISES TO HER FEET AS SHE TURNS AROUND TO FACE SOSA AND LANDS A FOREARM TO HIS FACE! THIS KNOCKS SOSA OFF THE APRON! BUT, SOSA IS HOLDING HIS FACE AS HE’S TRYING TO GET HIMSELF BACK INTO THE MATCH! THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO STOP HIM, BUT SOSA IS FIRED UP!
Stew-O: BUT, PAY ATTENTION TO THE QUEEN BEES, STEW! THEY ARE PULLING THE VISUAL PROPHET BACK TO THEIR CORNER! SERENITY VALDEZ IS HOLDING BACK THE VISUAL PROPHET AS MEI SASAKI GETS A FEW PUNCHES AND KICKS IN! THEN, THEY SWITCH POSITIONS WITH MEI STANDING ON THE APRON, HOLDING DOWN THE VISUAL PROPHET AND SERENITY INSIDE THE RING AS SHE GETS SOME KICKS IN AND – SHE CONNECTS WITH A ‘CHANGE OF COURSE’ – THE LOW BLOW IN BETWEEN THE LEGS OF THE VISUAL PROPHET! Viz collapses to his knees as Serenity and Mei switch places as the referee begins to focus his attention back to the match! Mei grabs The Visual Prophet by the arm and whips him to the corner next to them! Viz’ spine crashes against that corner! Mei looks to be super focused as she takes multiple steps back, but her focus is still on The Visual Prophet as she connects with a handspring, which results in her throwing a back elbow to Viz’ face!
Flannery McCoy: Now, it seems like Mei Sasaki is taunting SOSA Henderson! She’s doing the ‘boo-hoo’ gesture with her hands, almost like if she were saying that SOSA was the baby! SOSA is gesturing for Mei to tell him that stuff to his face! Perhaps, he has a receipt waiting for Mei! MEI STRAIGHTENS UP VIZ BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF THE VISUAL PROPHET! THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM VIZ AS MEI GRABS VIZ BY THE FACE AND MAKES HIM LOOK MEI IN THE EYE! THEN, MEI CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE TO VIZ’ CHEST! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT VIZ IS STILL NOT RESPONDING TO MEI SASAKI AND THAT’S FIRING UP MEI! BUT, VIZ DELIVERS A GIANT HEADBUTT TO THE FOREHEAD OF MEI! This knocks the member of the Queen Bees back as she goes right after The Visual Prophet – but, Viz gets his foot up, kicking Mei back! Then, he sits himself on the top turnbuckle! He is staring right at Mei before –
Jake Mercer: A LOU THESZ PRESS? :dahell: The Visual Prophet connects with a lou thesz press on Mei Sasaki! A MOVE INSPIRED BY HIS FAVORITE FEMALE IDOLS! I think that he may have killed the poor woman! He begins to throw his punches at Mei! Viz gets Mei by her shoulder and pulls her back up to her feet! Now, Viz is bringing Mei onto his shoulders in a fireman carry-like position! What in the world is Viz thinking? IS HE REALLY GOING – ‘AIR BAE!’ AIRPLANE AS MEI FINDS HERSELF ON THE RECIEVING END OF ALL OF THIS! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE TEN– Serenity Valdez is standing on the second rope as she grabs Mei by her arm! She is pulling her partner out of the grasp of The Visual Prophet! Serenity is pulling Mei over the top rope as two-thirds of the Queen Bees are out of the ring! BUT, VIZ WITH THAT PLAYFUL SMIRK ON HER FACE! HE REBOUNDS OFF THE SET OF ROPES BEHIND HIM AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF OUTSIDE OF THE RING, CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE SENTON BOMB TO THE OUTSIDE AS SHE LANDS ON SERENITY AND MEI! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: What in the world was that, Jake? A man like The Visual Prophet is not supposed to move like that?
Jake Mercer: The Visual Prophet is not like any man, Stew! He is built different! 😤
Stew-O: BUT, SOSA HENDERSON IS NODDING HIS HEAD, LOOKING IMPRESSED, BUT YOU KNOW THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO LET VIZ HAVE ALL OF THAT SHINE? SOSA, WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE, IS COOKING UP SOMETHING THAT COULD BE JUST AS GOOD AS WHAT WE SAW FROM THE VISUAL PROPHET! SOSA REBOUNDS OFF THE SET OF ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE MOONSAULT! HE CONNECTS WITH AN OVER THE TOP ROPE MOONSAULT PLANCHA ON THE QUEEN BEES, WHO WERE JUST GETTING THEMSELVES BACK UP! SOSA Henderson is hyping himself up right now! He is on fire! The Queen Bees are distancing themselves away from Soul Food Sunday and it seems like we’re going to take a quick commercial break here! Stay tuned for more of this match up!
(Commercial break.)
(Dynasty returns from commercial break as Serenity Valdez has SOSA Henderson in an armbar. There is a clear struggle on one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, who is doing his best to fight through the pain. Serenity is delivering some of her usual trashtalking.)
Flannery McCoy: Welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty, everyone! If you’re just tuning in with us, we have The Queen Bees’ Mei Sasaki and Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez facing off against the Unified Tag Team Champions, Soul Food Sunday, consisting of The Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson, who is in the ring at the moment! How did we end up with the Queen Bees dominating? Let’s see if we can get a quick video of what occurred during the commercial break.
(DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK: It shows SOSA Henderson managing to shove Mei Sasaki to the horizontal ropes. From there, Serenity Valdez manages to tag herself as SOSA connects with a snack dragon suplex on Mei. From that, Serenity sees that SOSA is on his knees, so she connects with her flower pot DDT, taking him down.)
(Back to ringside.)
Jake Mercer: Since then, it’s been ALL Queen Bees! Serenity Valdez is pulling back in that armbar, not allowing a chance for SOSA Henderson to bounce back in this match! But, you can tell that SOSA is quite determined to make a comeback! He is trying to reach his left arm to reach for that bottom rope – and HE DOES! Serenity finds herself releasing the hold, feeling like she did enough damage to SOSA’s arm! The referee begins to back away Serenity, allowing for SOSA to find his way back to his feet! You can see that he’s clutching to his right arm, trying to find some feeling back to that arm! He is finding his way back to his feet as Serenity is gesturing for SOSA with the ‘come hither’ hand gesture! SOSA looks somewhat intrigued, but he is more than fired up to get the upper hand on Serenity! SOSA runs after Serenity, but Serenity manages to duck SOSA! She connects with a dropkick to the spine of one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions! SOSA falls to his knees, his head draped on the second row of ropes! Serenity runs after SOSA, nailing him with a meteora to the back of his head! But, it seems like Serenity is not going to stop there! She connects with a rope choke on SOSA! SOSA is gasping for air!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO–
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I GOT UNTIL THE COUNT OF FIVE!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez gets SOSA Henderson back to his feet! She grabs him by the arm and looks to whip him towards the other set of horizontal ropes! She points at The Visual Prophet, telling him to stay out of her way before rebounding off the set of ropes! She goes running after SOSA, looking to connect with a running uppercut, but SOSA gets himself out of the way as Serenity goes bumping into that set of ropes! Serenity tries to catch herself, but SOSA connects with a shotgun dropkick as that takes the Empress of Elite down to one knee! SOSA picks up Serenity and connects with a back suplex! The Empress of Elite is clutching her lower back in pain as SOSA is starting to get something going for himself! Serenity is starting to come at him, but ‘STOLE YO B-WORD’ – THE JUMPING CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE! BUT, SERENITY DROPS DOWN! SHE AVOIDED THAT JUMPING CUTTER JUST BARELY! SOSA TURNS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE FOREHEAD, KNOCKING SERENITY TO HER BACK! SOSA FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP TO THE GUT OF SERENITY! ALMOST A STANDING VERSION OF ‘PAID IN FULL,’ BUT NOT QUITE!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson jumps over the top rope! He is standing on the apron as he makes his way to the top rope! I think that he may be looking for a way to win this match for Soul Food Sunday! But, Serenity finds a way back to her feet! I think that she’s looking to take SOSA down with a sunset powerbomb on one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champion! But, SOSA is holding himself down for dear life! Serenity is looking quite stubborn at the moment as she’s trying to throw SOSA down! But, look at Mei Sasaki who is approaching SOSA at the corner! Mei isn’t doing anything, bUT SHE’S TRYING TO PROVIDE A DISTRACTION FOR HER STABLEMATE! BUT, SOSA CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE TOP OF MEI’S FOREHEAD AS THAT KNOCKS HER OFF THE APRON! WITH SOSA’S FOCUS ELSEWHERE, SERENITY MANAGES TO LIFT SOSA OVER AND CONNECT WITH A SUNSET POWERBOMB! SERENITY ROLLS UP SOSA! COULD SHE WIN THIS MATCH FOR THE QUEEN BEES?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: NO! SOSA Henderson kicks out! The Visual Prophet is rooting for his tag team partner to get back into this match up! Serenity Valdez is telling Viz to “shut up” as she tries not to lose her focus! Serenity finds herself back to her feet and it seems like she might be looking to finish this match for the Queen Bees! She is going for that deadly knee to the back of the head and she has her sights set on SOSA! ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’ ON SOSA HENDERSON – NO! THE VISUAL PROPHET MANAGES TO USE ALL OF HIS POWER TO SHOVE SERENITY BACK! HE JUST SAVED SOSA FROM HAVING A KNEE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! WITH THE VISUAL PROPHET GETTING HIMSELF INVOLVED, THIS CAUSES MEI SASAKI TO ROLL HERSELF INTO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE AS THAT ONLY SEEMS TO TAKE BACK VIZ! This only seems to fire up Mei even more as Mei begins to connect with a palm strike to the chest! Now, look at Viz! He’s chuckling as he’s flexing his pecs! Mei looks to chop him again and now, she’s begging Viz for a fight! Another palm strike to his chest! And another one! Viz is laughing at Mei as –
The Visual Prophet: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ShadowyDifferentBluewhale-size_restricted.gif
Stew-O: DID THE VISUAL PROPHET JUST PIMP SLAP MEI SASAKI IN THE FACE? :LUPE: MEI SASAKI IS FUMING AS SHE GOES RIGHT AFTER VIZ, BUT ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ – THE SPINNING BACKFIST NAILS MEI IN THE FACE AS THAT SEEMS TO KNOCK HER DOWN! NOW, SERENITY VALDEZ IS GETTING IN THE FACE OF THE VISUAL PROPHET, BUT VIZ CONNECTS WITH A PIMP SLAP TO AS THAT SEEMS TO KNOCK SERENITY TO THE SIDE WHERE SOSA CONNECTS WITH ‘STOLE YO B-WORD’ – THE CUTTER AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON SERENITY! :damn:
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTT–
Flannery McCoy: NO! Mei Sasaki has enough strength to break up the pin and save the Queen Bees’ chances in this match! She pulls Serenity back to the Queen Bees’ corner and tags her on the shoulder!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: Mei Sasaki goes right after SOSA Henderson, who looks to connect with a clothesline! Mei ducks the clothesline as she begins to connect with repeated shoot kicks to the back of SOSA’s leg! Mei manages to sweep the feet of SOSA as that takes him to the ground! Mei begins to connect with a series of punches to the former EAW Champion! He is trying to block his face, but Mei is nailing him with each shot! She goes right after The Visual Prophet at the corner, looking to connect with a forearm, but Viz manages to jump off the apron before Mei could connect with a punch! Viz is telling Mei to focus on the man inside of the ring and not on him! Mei grabs SOSA by his hair and drags him up to his feet and pulls him closer! Mei lifts him up, connecting with a snap suplex! Mei gets SOSA up as she begins to connect with a couple of uppercuts! Each of those uppercuts are sending SOSA back into one of the corners next to his corner with The Visual Prophet!
Stew-O: Mei Sasaki is taking several steps back before running to SOSA Henderson and connecting with a double knee strike at the corner! This causes SOSA to stumble forward as Mei hooks SOSA by his arm and connects with a hip toss! SOSA finds himself in a seated position, as Mei jumps over SOSA’s spine and races towards the ropes in front of them! Mei rebounds off of those ropes, connecting with a basement dropkick, nailing SOSA in the face with it! Mei stands beind one of the sides of SOSA and connects with a standing moonsault! Mei gets SOSA for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson with a kick out as Mei Sasaki rolls him over and now, sHE’S APPLYING A CROSSFACE ON THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! BUT, SOSA IS NOT ALLOWING FOR MEI TO LINK HER HANDS WITH EACH OTHER, GETTING A FULL APPLICATION OF THE MOVE! SOSA IS MOVING LEFT AND RIGHT, BUT MEI IS CONNECTING WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE TOP OF SOSA’S SKULL AS HE STOPS MOVING! THERE SHE’S ABLE TO FULLY APPLY THE CROSSFACE AS SOSA IS TRYING TO REACH FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE ACROSS FROM HIM! MEI IS APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE CROSSFACE AND IT SEEMS LIKE SOSA IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY –
Jake Mercer: SIKE! SOSA HENDERSON MANAGES TO ROLL MEI SASAKI BACK AND ROLLS HER UP! IS SOUL FOOD SUNDAY GOING TO STEAL THIS VICTORY HERE??!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Stew-O: NO! MEI SASAKI LIVES ON AS BOTH HER AND SOSA HENDERSON GET TO THEIR FEET AT THE SAME TIME! MEI RUNS AT THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION WITH ‘DISINTEGRATION’ – THE SPINNING HEEL KICK, BUT SOSA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! HE LOOKS TO GO FOR ‘STOLE YO B-WORD,’ BUT MEI PUSHES HERSELF OUT OF POSITION! SOSA is pushed against the horizontal ropes as Mei jumps on the shoulders of ‘Bulletproof’ SOSA Henderson and spikes him down with a poisonrana – no! SOSA Henderson slides back to his feet as he’s stalking Mei Sasaki as she turns around and SOSA lands a superkick to the face of Mei! This causes her to stumble back as SOSA pulls her by the arm and follows that up with a flapjack! Mei’s face eats the top rope as she stumbles back! SOSA pulls Mei closer again before lifting her up and taking her down with a brainbuster! Now, Serenity Valdez is standing on the second rope, trying to get the attention of SOSA! These kind of distractions are what we’ve seen a few times during this time –
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson throws an elbow to the face of Serenity Valdez as that knocks her off the apron! SOSA is not allowing himself to fall for that distraction again, but Mei Sasaki tries to use the last amount of energy to roll up SOSA! But, SOSA manages to roll out of position as he picks up Mei and connects with the JML driver! There, SOSA has Mei in the perfect position!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTT–
Jake Mercer: NO! Serenity Valdez breaks up the pin! The Visual Prophet jumps back inside the ring and connects with a giant dropkick that sends the Empress of Elite back! Serenity rolls out of the ring, trying to find a bit of time to recover! Meanwhile, Mei Sasaki finds herself in between SOSA Henderson and The Visual Prophet! Oh boy! :lupe: BUT, MEI IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT AS SHE LOOKS TO THROW A PALM STRIKE AT VIZ AND THEN, A PUNCH TO SOSA! A PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF VIZ AND ANOTHER PUNCH TO SOSA! The fighting spirit of Mei Sasaki is something that you need to recognize tonight! She is taking it to both members of Soul Food Sunday! She connects with a palm strike to Viz’ chest again and again! BUT, SOSA NAILS A SUPERKICK AS VIZ CONNECTS WITH AN ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ AS THAT TAKES MEI DOWN! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SOUL FOOD SUNDAY IS LOOKING TO WIN THIS MATCH! I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE ‘BOOMERANG’ – VIZ LIFTS MEI UP AS SOSA TAKES HER BACK WITH A BRIDGING BACK SUPLEX AS WE’RE HERE FOR THE COVER! THIS IS IT!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Serenity Valdez breaks up the pin! Soul Food Sunday was *this* close to winning this match! The Visual Prophet finds herself back inside the ring as charges right after the Empress of Elite with a giant clothesline! Serenity rises back to her feet as Viz connects with ANOTHER clothesline on Serenity which takes her down! Serenity finds her way back to her feet as he connects with a third clothesline! The Visual Prophet gets Serenity and places her on his shoulders! ‘Prophet Driver’ is connected to the former Specialist Champion who rolls herself out of the ring once again! MEANWHILE, IT SEEMS LIKE VIZ HAS SOMETHING COOKING IN HIS MIND AS –CORKSCREW PLANCHA ON SERENITY VALDEZ ON THE OUTSIDE! SERENITY WAS TRYING TO GET HERSELF UP TO HER FEET! I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN THE EMPRESS OF ELITE AROUND! VIZ IS HYPING HIMSELF UP AS HE GETS ON TOP OF HIS APRON! HE IS ASKING FOR A TAG FROM SOSA HENDERSON AS SOSA ALLOWS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: I think that Mei Sasaki wishes that her partner was on top of the apron, but Serenity Valdez was taken out by that corkscrew plancha just moments ago! Mei is completely on her own! Mei is looking on the empty corner, knowing that she needs to hold in just a bit longer! But, she turns around – ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ – THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKES HER FACE! NO! MEI WAS ABLE TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY – ‘DISINTEGRATION!’ NO! VIZ MANAGES TO DUCK HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! HE SCOOPS MEI UP AND RAISES HER OVER HIS HEAD! HE HAS HER IN A MILITARY PRESS POSITION AS MEI IS SCREAMING AND DEMANDING FOR VIZ TO LET HER DOWN! BUT, LOOK! FROM THE TOP ROPE! IT’S SERENITY VALDEZ, WHO JUMPS FROM THE TOP ROPE AND LANDS A MISSILE DROPKICK ON THE VISUAL PROPHET! THIS CAUSES FOR MEI TO CONVIENTLY FALL ON TOP OF VIZ! MEI HOOKS VIZ BY THE LEGS!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR—
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON BREAK UP THE PIN BY CONNECTING WITH ‘PAID IN FULL’ ON MEI SASAKI!!! HE PULLS THE VISUAL PROPHET TO HIS CORNER AND GOES FOR A TAG!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: It seems like Serenity Valdez is doing the same thing as she yanks Mei Sasaki by her arm and tags her shoulder to allow herself into the match!
Referee (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: The crowd has become unglued as Serenity Valdez and SOSA Henderson got the so-called ‘hot tag’ for their team! Serenity and SOSA approach each other as Serenity slides underneath the legs of one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champion! She connects with a basement dropkick to the back of SOSA as that causes him to stumble forward! Serenity flips over him and catches him with a recoil – ‘Un Ultimo Baile!’ SOSA is sent back to one of the corners as Serenity looks to follow that recoil and connect with a meteora! She nails the face of the former World Champion as that sends him forward! SERENITY MANAGES TO TRIP THE FEET BY GRABBING ONTO SOSA’S ANKLES AND IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY IS GOING FOR ‘AMARI’ – THE CRIPPLE CROSSFACE ON ‘BULLETPROOF’ AS HE FINDS HIMSELF STUCK INSIDE THE RING! THE VISUAL PROPHET IS BANGING ON THE ROPE, TRYING TO ENCOURAGE HIS PARTNER TO GET HIMSELF BACK IN THE GAME!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson manages to flip Serenity Valdez back for a roll up –NO! NOT A ROLL UP! SERENITY IS FLIPPED AS SHE LANDS ON HER STOMACH, BUT SOSA HAS SERENITY BY HER LEGS! SERENITY IS BY HER LEGS AS HE LOCKS IN A SHARPSHOOTER ON THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! SERENITY IS SHAKING HER HEAD NO! The Visual Prophet is jumping on that apron, encouraging SOSA to hopefully get a submission victory for Soul Food Sunday! Meanwhile, Mei is at the corner, trying to plead with Serenity to not submit! Mei Sasaki has taken quite a beating in this match! I don’t think that she has the energy to keep going! Serenity is trapped in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go!
(‘Tot Musica’ by Ado begins to blast through the speakers of WVU Coliseum as the crowd gives a standing ovation to POTARA – Holly Arrow and Harper Lee come out from the back. Harper is running towards the ring, but turns to the side as she bolts to the timekeeper’s area. Holly tries to follow Harper a bit after as Harper…)
Stew-O: POTARA is out here! It seems like they have their hands on Soul Food Sunday’s Unified Tag Team Championship!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson has released the grasp of Serenity Valdez as he is looking towards the women outside! POTARA has their hands on the Unified Tag Team Championships! The Visual Prophet jumps off the apron and it seems like he’s trying to get this situation under control! But, Viz gets turned around as Mei Sasaki connects with a ‘Disintegration’ – the spinning heel kick lands on the skull of the former World Heavyweight Champion!
(Despite The Visual Prophet just being attacked, POTARA shrug their shoulders and continue to admire the Unified Tag Team Championships. It’s unclear about what’s being said with these women, but the two of them raise each of the titles to their chest before taking a step back and chest bump with the Unified Tag Team Championships like: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FlatPlayfulCaudata.webp )
Jake Mercer: WHAT ARE THESE WHITE WOMEN DOING? THOSE TITLES BELONG TO THE HARDWORKING BLACK MEN OF SOUL FOOD SUNDAY! SOSA HENDERSON IS EXITING THE RING – BUT SERENITY VALDEZ ROLLS UP SOSA HENDERSON!!!!! THE VISUAL PROPHET IS STILL TAKEN OUT THANKS TO MEI SASAKI JUST MOMENTS AGO!!!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ HAS HER FEET ON THE TOP ROPE! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! NOT LIKE THIS!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Run This Town’ plays once again as Serenity Valdez rolls out of the ring before SOSA Henderson can get his hands on her. Mei Sasaki runs to Serenity, who then tries to hold her up. The two members of the Queen Bees are quite proud of themselves as SOSA is looking at the referee at what just happened.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH… MEI SASAKI….SERENITY VALDEZ…THE QUEEN BEES!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The Queen Bees just stole this match up thanks to POTARA! Honestly, I don’t think the Queen Bees cared how they won this match, but a win is a win for them. Meanwhile, for Soul Food Sunday, they were just screwed out of this win by POTARA!
Jake Mercer: Those two women need to get their hands off Soul Food Sunday’s titles! Those titles do not belong to you, ladies!
(The Visual Prophet is joining SOSA Henderson inside the ring as SOSA recaps Viz on what made them lose the match. This causes Viz to be outraged by the loss, but tries to keep his composure. The two men look at POTARA at ringside, with their Unified Tag Team Championships. Harper Lee and Holly Arrow look towards each other and shrug their shoulders casually in unison.)
(A commercial is shown for Playstation 5 featuring Harper Lee.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty where our main event for the evening is about to start. As excited as we are to be calling this match tonight, we are equally as excited to be joined here on commentary by none other than the EAW World Heavyweight Champion: Limmy Monaghan!
(The shot focuses on Limmy, dressed down and with the title on his shoulder. He gives a nod and a smile as his name shows up on screen. The fans go wild as they see their Leader seated before them.)
Crowd: Limmy! Limmy! Limmy!
Limmy Monaghan: Thank you, guys. I’m glad to be here. Figured I’d get a closer look at my opponent for Grand Rampage, but I’m sure that this match as a whole will be great to see.
Jake Mercer: It’s my king! My goat! Limommy is here! Yessir! The best in EAW TODAY! And, unlike certain people, don’t need to rely on other people to get main event wins when they matter the most.
Flannery McCoy: Oh, boy…
Limmy Monaghan: Ah, I guess you’re still upset about what unfolded last show.
Jake Mercer: Of course! Aren’t you? It was preposterous what we saw!
Limmy Monaghan: Well, in a way, I guess it is a shame things happened in the way that they did. However, this is EAW – a promotion that houses some of the ruthless and cutthroat competitors in the world. When you succeed, you are bound to make your fair share of enemies. It just so happened that PJ has a huge target on his back and Jay came after him because of it. Is it right? Maybe not. However, when you’re a champion, you have to make sure you have an extra set of eyes to see your opposition from any and all angles.
(Limmy looks down at his own championship.)
Limmy Monaghan: That is why I’m here.
Flannery McCoy: Makes sense. It may have been really unsavory on the part of Jay, but that is the nature of this business. Let’s just hope that we don’t have to see any more of that, at least for tonight. I’m sure everyone is looking forward tonight’s closer.
Limmy Monaghan: As am I.
(The shot then fades into the ring where Dynasty announcer Stephie Love can be seen.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
‘first death’ by TK can be heard throughout the arena as Jay Jerry Johnson steps out. He gets a mostly positive reception, though a fair share of boos ring out from certain sections of the audience, largely in part from his involvement in last week’s main event. Jay picks up on this, but he isn’t fazed in the slightest. The spotlight is now all on him, and he’s determined to make use of this spot he finds himself in tonight by doing what his opponent for Grand Rampage couldn’t. The idea alone is enough to make him grin as he heads down the ramp with renewed focus.
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Bridgeport, Connecticut, weighing in tonight at 206 pounds…he is the ‘Charismatic Artist’, JAAAAAAYYYYY JERRYYYYYYY JOOOOOOOOOOHNSOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: Somewhat of a mixed reaction from the crowd here tonight as the challenger for PJ Hendrx’s Interwire Championship makes his way down to the ring–
Jake Mercer: Don’t forget ‘Bronson Daniels’ Collaborator’ while you’re at it!
Flannery McCoy: They aren’t working together, okay? Give it a rest already. It is a shame that Jay distracted PJ, but it is what it is. Here in EAW, you just have to move on. At the very least though, he didn’t get a chance to touch him.
Jake Mercer: Yes, but he STILL ruined the match! And thanks to Mr. ‘ChArIsMaTiC ArTiSt’ over here, Bronson has a fluke win over PJ! He definitely is living up to his LeBronson name because just like that supposed ‘king’, he is a fraud! As a matter of fact, why are these two still wrestling here?! Jay shouldn’t be here, let alone in a main event of this caliber! This is a massive smack to the face to everyone right now! God, just look at that stupid, smug little smile on his face. He think he has this all in the bag.
Limmy Monaghan: … Passionate words there. However, I like to think that Bronson doesn’t need to rely on others to help him. He’s more than a capable Elitist. He knew to strike when the iron was hot, and because of that, he won. There’s nothing else to it.
Jake Mercer: Oh no, not you too!
Stew-O: People can continue to remain disheveled about how last week’s Dynasty concluded, but either way, it happened. I’m sure Jay cares little if at all about the criticisms being lobbied against him, especially when he’s been zeroing in on this match up ever since it got announced. Jay has already secured his spot at Grand Rampage, and he looks to carry on his wave of momentum as he looks to take down an Elitist he is all-too familiar with.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Jay has grown a lot within a short timeframe, and even moreso since he and Scott Diamond last faced off. Scott managed to score the win, but Johnson’s performance impressed a lot of people, including Scott himself. However, with how those two have been going back and forth all this week, I have a feeling that the modicum of respect the acclaimed hall of famer had for Jay and his growth has all but soured at this point.
Jake Mercer: Good. At least he can do us all a favor and destroy him. Get rid of him. Take him out!
Stew-O: I don’t think we’re going to get that, Jake.
(Jay steps inside of the ring and poses, cool, calm and collected. He ushers himself over to the corner where he warms up. His theme music fades. Jay looks on at the stage, rolling his wrists and giving a few squats. Then, ‘Toad’ by Justin Hurwitz cuts through the arena. Out comes Scott Diamond, and the fans all stand as an undisputed legend is amongst them. The cameras focus on the clear contrast of looks between the two Elitists: Jay is bearing a smirk whereas Scott’s face is neutral. There’s no anger or amusement. And perhaps to some, the unreadable expression is likely a bad sign when it comes to the Mad Titan.)
Stephie Love: And introducing his opponent! From Long Island, New York, weighing in tonight at 262 pounds, he is ‘The Mad Titan’… SCOOOOOOOOOOOTT DIAAAAAAAAAAMMOOOOOOOOOOOND!
Stew-O: He’s not here for the money. He’s not here for the spectacle. He’s not here for the prize. Not anymore. All Scott Diamond wants is to feel something when it comes to wrestling again; to get just even a little sliver of excitement when it comes to a profession he had an undying passion for. Still, for a simple and concise his motivation is, not many Elitists by into the idea, least of all his opponent tonight.
Jake Mercer: Of course a clout-chasing dunce like Jay wouldn’t get it. He may have talent, yes, but he hasn’t won anything of tangible worth here in EAW. So for him, championships are everything. That’s why he’s been pulling out all of the stops to get at PJ since their match became official. Meanwhile, Scott has done everything there is to do in this promotion, and that is not an exaggeration. He isn’t deseprate to reclaim his spot at the throne. That will forever be solidified, no questions about it.
Flannery McCoy: There definitely is a chip on Jay’s shoulder. This match is an absolute must-win for him. Being able to beat Scott Diamond in their second encounter could be not just a win that can hang over PJ’s head as we draw closer to Grand Rampage, but a victory that could forever change the trajectory of his career. However, this is a massive task for him to undertake, and I’m not just saying that because of the huge discrpecy in size. Scott Diamond is the furthest thing from a foot step. Physically, mentally, there haven’t been many who can truly crack this man and make him fold. And to think that Scott considers himself to be a floating feather that longs for a spark that will light it on fire in this stage of his career, yet he’s been nigh-unstoppable since he returned to active competition. Just makes you shudder thinking what more he can do when he finally finds that missing piece to get him roaring.
(The shot shifts over to Limmy watching Scott make his entrance. The two briefly exchange a look before Scott gets closer to the ring.)
Stew-O: Scott just wants to not feel jaded anymore, and he’s willing to do everything he can in order to–
Jake Mercer: WAIT, WHAT IS JAY DOING?!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY!
(Just as Scott gets in the ring, Jay charges at him! His theme gets cut short as Jay starts to pepper him with punches and kicks! The referee scrambles as they ring the bell!)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Jake Mercer: THIS MORON REALLY IS TRYING TO GET HIMSELF KILLED! THERE’S GOING FOR THE BRASS RING, AND THEN THERE’S JUST ASKING TO GET YOURSELF KNOCKED OUT BY SOME BRASS KNUCKLES! SCOTT IS COVERING UP AS JOHNSON CONTINUES TO ATTACK!
Flannery McCoy: OH, BUT SCOTT PUSHES HIM AWAY! JAY ROLLS BACKWARDS! HE POPS UP AND COMES RUNNING BACK IN, HITTING A KNEE TO THE GUT! SCOTT ISN’T DOWN, BUT HE’S ALMOST HUNCHED OVER! JAY IS TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO OVERWHELM HIM!
Stew-O: JAY’S NOT SHY ABOUT TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE BIG MAN AS HE TARGETS THE OUTER LEGS WITH VARIOUS SHOOT-STYLE KICKS! ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING HE CAN TO GET SCOTT WORN DOWN–
Jake Mercer: LEG CAUGHT! LEG CAUGHT! SCOTT MANAGES TO STOP THE SURPRISING ASSAULT AND HAS JAY TRAPPED! DESPITE IT ALL, HE DOESN’T EVEN LOOK MAD! THERE’S A SCARY CALM PRESENCE SURROUNDING HIM AS HE BACKS JAY UP! HE HAS HIM HOPPING ON ONE FOOT! CLOTHESLINE–
Flannery McCoy: ENZUIGIRI! SCOTT LETS GO AS HE GETS ROCKED FROM THAT! JAY SCRAMBLES BACK UP, ADRENALINE SURGING THROUGH HIM! ROUNDHOUSE KICK–
Stew-O: BUT THE LEG IS CAPTURED AGAIN! THIS TIME, THE EAW HALL OF FAMER DOESN’T WASTE A SINGLE SECOND! HE SPINS JAY AROUND, THE FORCE ALMOST MAKING HIM FALL FORWARD! JOHNSON CATCHES HIMSELF AS HE PLANTS BOTH PALMS ONTO THE MAT! HOWEVER, SCOTT IS CREEPING UP FROM BEHIND! HE GRABS HIM AND GETS HIM UP WITH A DEADLIFT! GUTWRENCH GERMAN SUPLEX–
Jake Mercer: NO!! JAY LANDS ON HIS FEET! HE LEAPS UP AND GETS HIS FEET UNDERNEATH SCOTT’S ARMS, TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A BODYSCISSORS! HOLY COW! I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT MOVE SINCE MAMINA TOYOMA AND COW TAKANO AT THE TOKYO DOME!
Flannery McCoy: HE FLIPS OVER ON TO HIS STOMACH, ALL WHILE HAVING HIM CAUGHT! SHOULDERS ON THE MAT! WE HAVE A PIN ATTEMPT!
O–
Stew-O: KICKOUT! Wow! What an intense way to start this match off! However, Scott was able to get out of that unorthodox pin with little effort involved! He gets up as does Jay! The two men storm straight into each other! Jay hits him with a forearm smash… but Scott isn’t moved! Jay hits him again, but again, the Mad Titan doesn’t budge, let alone even flinch! Jay strikes again and again, doing his best to rock him!
Limmy Monaghan: Jay is here on a mission, isn’t he? He’s doing everything he can to get the early advantage here.
Jake Mercer: But Scott’s had enough! Jay has had all of the fun already! He grabs the arm and pulls him in for a SHORT-ARM LARIAT! Jay rolls all the way out of the ring and into the outside! Serves him right! What did you think was going to happen, you fraud?! Huh?!
Flannery McCoy: Well, Jay put up a good effort, but Scott was able to clock him! He isn’t down and out though as he comes to a stand, even if he’s clutching onto his chest! In the ring, Scott has a smirk of his own! Jay looks up at him, and for the first time, that grin of his isn’t anywhere to be seen.
Scott Diamond: (off-mic) Good effort, Jay. However, you’re going to have to try a lot harder than that.
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) Yeah? Well, I have plenty of more effort to show to you!
Scott Diamond: (off-mic) Alright then. Show me.
Limmy Monaghan: Yeah, these two aren’t slowing down for even a second.
Stew-O: And Scott’s beckoning for Jay to come back inside of the ring! Johnson obliges, stepping up onto the apron. However, Scott’s moving straight towards him! He reaches on over–
Jake Mercer: But Jay slips underneath him, going through between his legs! What a slippery little guy! He gets up and runs straight for the ropes! He’s coming back on the rebound! Running crossbody–
Flannery McCoy: CAUGHT! He’s in his arms! Scott made it look too easy! He has Jay up and– WAIT, OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!
Stew-O: HE JUST THREW JAY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! EVERYONE IN THE WVU COLISEUM JUST STOOD UP, COLORED IN SHOCK AND AWE BY THE FREAKISH STRENGTH! AND WITH A FAMILIAR SIGHT, I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! JAY IS CAUGHT IN THE STORM–
Jake Mercer: NO! HE’S FIGHTING BACK! ELBOWS UPON ELBOWS ARE BEING LANDED INTO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, AND ALL OF THOSE SHOTS ARE GOING UNANSWERED! SCOTT CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF! LET ALONE HIT ‘THE VORTEX’!
Flannery McCoy: And Jay is able to drop down to relative safety – BEFORE WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND SCOTT AND LOCKING IN AN OCTOPUS HOLD! HE HAS THE BIG MAN TRAPPED! HE’S DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO GET THE SUBMISSION APPLIED AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE! ANOTHER SMART MOVE HERE AS JAY TRIES TO WEAR HIM DOWN!
Stew-O: BUT SCOTT ISN’T GOING DOWN! HE’S STARTING TO STRAIGHTEN UP, GRABBING JAY WITH ONE ARM! JAY DOES HIS BEST TO STRIKE BACK WITH ELBOWS AGAIN TO THE HEAD, BUT THOSE AREN’T WORKING ANYMORE! SCOTT’S MOVING TOWARDS THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: LOOK! SCOTT FREES HIS OTHER ARM AND USES IT TO WRAP AROUND JAY’S HEAD! WITH HIM TRAPPED ON HIS BACK, HE HAS HIM STUCK! SCOTT REACHES THE CORNER AND HITS JAY’S HEAD AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! JUST RELENTLESS! HE HAS TO BE SEEING STARS BY THE TIME HE’S DONE WITH HIM!
Flannery McCoy: Jay IS starting to look unsteady! Scott backs away and CRASHES down onto him with a back-to-back slam to the mat! Jay cries out as he favors his back and head, crawling up to the corner–
Stew-O: BODY SPLASH! All of Scott’s mass slams right into him as he collides with Jay! However, he isn’t done! He grabs onto him as he stumbles out and throws him up and over! BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX! JAY’S DOWN! SCOTT COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: Shoulder up! And Jay rolls away as far as he can so that he can garner some space! I cannot stand ths guy right now, but I can’t deny that it’s a smart thing to do! Still, I’m sure Scott isn’t going to let him off that easily! He’s already back on his feet, seeing that his opponent is on the outside yet again. He’s walking on over to his side!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, this time, Scott isn’t playing any games! He still has that calm look on his face as he has the control here, but I’m sure deep down inside he’s thinking of all the ways he can severely punish Jay Jerry Johnson!
Stew-O: Scott’s on the apron as Jay… is nowhere to be seen? Where is he?
Limmy Monaghan: Good question. It’s like he disappeared all of a sudden.
Jake Mercer: Wait, what? Did he disappear? I mean, if he did, then good. He can stay away from this place as far as possible! Still, I’m sure we all saw that he rolled out onto that side, right–
Flannery McCoy: NO, HE’S RIGHT THERE! LOOK! HE CAME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE RING ON THE OTHER SIDE! HE’S COMING ON OVER AS SCOTT DOESN’T SEE HIM! AND HE JUST PULLS HIM DOWN, CAUSING SCOTT TO FALL BACK-FIRST ONTO THE APRON! JAY’S STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THAT SUPLEX, BUT HE’S BEEN ABLE TO OUTSMART HIS OPPONENT!
Jake Mercer: Dang it! Why is this guy so smart?!
Stew-O: Jay is able to get the upper hand on Scott before things get worse for him! Scott rolls into the ring, holding on to the lower part of his back. Meanwhile, Jay takes his time getting up on the apron. He waits as he watches on. Scott gets up slowly, but he’s within Johnson’s crosshairs! Jay uses the ropes to sling himself up and over – AND HE FLOORS HIM WITH THE SLINGSHOT DDT! SCOTT’S HEAD GETS SPIKED AS HE GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Jeez! I can’t even lie, that was a nasty one for Scott to take! Jay is quick to pin him, hooking the leg!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout at one, despite the seemingly-devestating move! Still, Scott is a different breed in his own right; he’s been a problem for a lot of Elitist throughout his career because of his uncanny resilience! However, Jay isn’t flustered at all as he mounts him and attacks with a series of punches!
Limmy Monaghan: Been a while since I’ve seen Jay this zeroed in on a match. He has a chip on his shoulder, and that’s noticeable. The fact he’s been able to keep himself close to Scott so far is impressive.
Stew-O: Jay is doing everything he can to not afford Scottt any space to recover. He looks to soften him up right here! More punches land before Scott has the wherewithal to push him off of him! At least that strength hasn’t been hindered yet! He rolls over to his hands and knees–
Jake Mercer: ONLY TO GET LEVELED WITH A HOOK KICK! AND JAY IMMEDIATELY POUNCES ON HIM, GETTING ON HIS BACK! ARMS WRAP AROUND THE THROAT! GROUNDED SLEEPER HOLD!
Flannery McCoy: THERE’S NO PAUSE BUTTON TO BE HAD! JAY IS JUST FLOATING THROUGH FROM ONE MOVE TO ANOTHER! LIKE WE SAID, THE MORE HE IS ABLE TO REMAIN ON TOP AND OVERWHELM SCOTT, THE BETTER OF A CHANCE HE HAS AT WINNING THIS MATCH! AND JUST REMEMBERING HOW HE LOST TO SCOTT ALREADY, HE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF FIRE UNDERNEATH HIM! HE DOESN’T JUST WANT TO BEAT HIM – HE WANTS TO MAKE A STATEMENT! TO PJ, TO THE FANS, TO THE OTHER ELITISTS HERE! TO EVERYONE!
Stew-O: Jay has him almost dead center inside of the ring! He squeezes tightly! Meanwhile, Scott is searching for the ropes! He’s being worn down here! The referee checks in with him, but he isn’t giving up! Even with Jay applying as much pressure as humanly POSSIBLE!
Jake Mercer: Jay’s gritting his teeth, already looking annoyed by Scott’s resolve! He’s yelling at him, telling him he needs to accept his death! And just for added measure, he switches on arm to lace completely around the throat while the other is being used to spear the point of his elbow into his head! This is just devolving into a nasty fight!
Flannery McCoy: Jay wants to win, no matter what– BUT SO DOES SCOTT! SCOTT RISES UP! I THINK ALL OF THAT YELLING AND SCREAMING JUST WOKEN SOMETHING UP INSIDE OF HIM! HE LETS OUT A WAR CRY AS HE COMES TO STAND! ONCE AGAIN, SCOT DIAMOND HAS ALL OF US SPEECHLESS!
Stew-O: AND JAY IS PERHAPS THE MOST STUNNED OF US ALL! SCOTT REACHES BACK AND THROWS HIM DOWN ONTO HIS BACK! HE JUST USED HIS BARE HANDS AND STRENGTH TO PRY HIM OFF OF HIM LIKE HE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A LITTLE CHILD!
Jake Mercer: Jay scurries back up to his feet as Scott drops to a knee! He’s trying to catch his breath! However, Jay has other plans! He runs right at him–
Flannery McCoy: ONLY TO BE FLOORED WITH AN EMPHATIC SPINEBUSTER! OH GOD, IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HEAD GOT DRIVEN INTO THE MAT! THE FANS ARE REACTING, SEEING THAT JOHNSON’S PLANS HAD BEEN THRAWRTED!
Stew-O: Great presence of mind from Scott to not only avoid whatever move Jay was going to throw at him, but catch him off guard with a rather impactful-looking move! He’s able to gain a new burst of wind throughout his body as his opponent is down on the mat! Scott gets to his feet and looks at Jay!
Jake Mercer: Oh, now THIS is where the real fun begins! Scott walks on over to him and LATCHES onto his neck with those bear-like grippers of his! He hoists him back up to his feet and pushes him into the corner! He doesn’t let go! He holds on… and LAUNCHES JAY JERRY JOHNSON ACROSS THE RING WITH AN INSANE BIEL THROW, FLIPPING HIM UP AND OVER ONTO HIS BACK! Talk about a takeoff! Jay is squirming in pain while Scott takes his time stalking him down! The Cold-Blooded Killer is back in business!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, there’s that callous look in his eyes now. He takes Jay up without any remorse before tossing him AGAIN! He just threw him with another biel throw! And that one looked somehow more effortless than the last! Jay does his best to use the ropes to bring himself up. However, not too far away is Scott Diamond, taking steps towards him. No distance is between them now!
Sterw-O: Scott starts to brutalize Jay with punches aimed at the body! Blow after blow lands flush against tender flesh! Jay looks to be hurting! He tries to respond with a punch of his own! However, Scott traps the arm! He drags him out before flipping him over! Scott forces him to his feet again! Another over-the-shoulder flip sends him down! Jay looks to be dazed as he stands up. Scott is stll holding onto that limb! He yanks him in! T-BONE SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Now Scott is doing the bruising! Stiff as can be! He walks on over while Jay meagerly comes to his hands and knees. Too bad he isn’t going to get up by himself! Scott takes it upon himself to raise him UP into the air with a DEADLIFT GUTWRENCH! Jay’s on his shoulders! The Mad Titan gets a running start – and it ends with a VIOLENT COLLISION AS HE ROCKS JAY’S WORLD WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! He’s able to get free from that, but this could only be the beginning of the end for him! Jay rolls over towards the corner as Scott, once again, doesn’t let him get even a single inch away from him! He gets him up and tackles his shoulder directly into his gut! God, with how big he is, that has got to feel like a sledgehammer being jammed into him! Jay almost keeled over from that! Now, Scott’s switching things up and hitting those back elbows into the side of his head! Any way he can break down Jay Jerry Johnson, Scott Diamond will find it!
Stew-O: People, especially those who are of the newere variety of fans, may look at Scott and think he is just some brute upon first impressions, but that couldn’t be the furthest thing from the truth. He isn’t a mere brute. There is purpose in his power, and ladies and gentlemen, you are seeing it all unfold right here. This is why Scott has remained an enigma of an Elitist for the past fourteen years!
Jake Mercer: And this brutal yet calculating style is why he has achieved virtually everything here in EAW! Scott finally relents after the referee’s warning, though he gives them an icy glare! God, I don’t care who you are, THAT look can freeze the spine of even the most undaunted of Elitists!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, the referee was only doing their job, but even they are taken aback by that look! No one wants to be on Scott’s bad side! Still, this match continues with little issues as Diamond backs up and charges RIGHT at Jay! He’s coming in like a freight train! SHOULDER THRUST–
Stew-O: –INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! JAY JERRY JOHNSON, AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, SLIPPED OUT OF HARM’S WAY! SCOTT GOES CRASHING INTO THE CORNER WHILE JAY IS CATCHING HIS BREATH ON THE MAT! WHAT A WAY FOR HIM TO TURN THINGS AROUND HERE TONIGHT!
Jake Mercer: Ah, no, no, no! Dang it! God, Jay is just too clever for his own good! Scott had him hurting good, but the moment an opening was afforded to him, Jay Jerry Johnson took it! This is what we mean when we say that a second can turn the tides of a match at any given time! And Scott seems to be hurt badly from that missed move! He’s pulling away from the corner, favoring his shoulder!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAY TRIPS HIM WITH THE DROP TOE HOLD AS SCOTT WALKED OUT! Scott checks his face as he tries to rise to his knees! However, his opponent is right there! Jay yells out, trying to get that adrenaline to block out the pain! He runs for the ropes and comes back! ROLLING WHEEL KICK! SCOTT DIAMOND IS LAID OUT!!
Stew-O: Jay gets up on one knee, smacking his ribs, trying to get back into this match! That was an effective strike that took down the Mad Titan! He gets up and stomps down on him before using what little strength he has to get Scott raised! He grabs hold of his arms… BANG! Knee to the FACE! Every inch of that body part got him! And now, Jay goes for ANOTHER KNEE! It lands flush! Scott looks to be starting to slump down; this is the most vulnerable we’ve seen him all this night!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, Jay is getting some momentum back! He draaaaaags Scott to his feet and grabs hold of his head! NECKBREAKER! Scott sits up, almost involuntarily! However, Jay isn’t wasting any time! He backs up into the ropes and comes back, CLOCKING him on the back of the head with a basement dropkick! He drops down, hooking Scott’s leg!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! Good series of moves by Jay, but they aren’t enough to keep Scott down! As hurt as he is, he’s already trying to get a move on! However, Johnson notices and grabs him before he can escape! He traps his head with his arms and strikes with grounded knees! There’s like a– like a renewed fierceness in Jay’s moves! Each blow lands with an almost unnerving intensity!
Stew-O: Likely because Jay wants to damage Scott and become closer to getting a win he has long sought after! He lands one last knee and transitions into a D’Arce Choke! Another submission here by the Charismatic Artist, looking to break down The Storm and weather him!
Limmy Monaghan: :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Jay may have a slew of fast, high-octane and aerial moves in his offense, but he’s a jack of all trades. Submissions are his bread and butter. He can wear down many people, and for the third time this match, he’s been able to get a lock cinched in against Scott Diamond. This time though, this could be the one to really break him down!
Flannery McCoy: No kidding! Scott isn’t putting up as much of a fight as he did earlier in this contest! I think the effects of those attacks are catching up to him, and remember, we’re only two weeks removed from that BRUTAL Chicago Street Fight he had against Joso. He may be cleared to compete, but that doesn’t mean he’s one-hundred percent! He’s got to be hurting still from that battle!
Stew-O: Undoubtedly. We talk a lot about Scott’s resilience, and while he is one of the toughest Elitists to have ever stepped foot inside of an EAW ring, that doesn’t mean his invincible. Those battle wounds and scars lay deep within the surface, and now, they’re coming back as Jay is able to pick him apart here! This could be where Scott is in serious trouble!
Jake Mercer: Scott realizes this! He’s reaching for the ropes! He’s doing everything he can to extend that arm out as FAR as possible! Wiggling his fingers, trying to drag himself forward – everything! However, it’s looking tough! I don’t think he’s gonna get the rope break!
Flannery McCoy: You’re right! He can’t get it! He’s still too far! And Jay is cranking that lock in TIGHT! He isn’t going to loosen one bit! Scott’s shaking his head, trying to will himself on, but it’s hard! He reaches forward… and his HAND IS GETTING LOWER! THE STRENGTH IS LEAVING HIM! OH MY GOD! COULD JAY SERIOUSLY HAVE HIM LOSE CONCIOUSNESS HERE?!
Stew-O: THE FANS ARE SCREAMING, LOSING THEIR MINDS AT JUST THE MERE THOUGHT OF IT! HIS HAND DROPS COMPLETELY! AND JAY LOOKS ALMOST RELIEVED, AS IF HE HAS THE MATCH WON! HE YELLS AT THE OFFICIAL TO CHECK ON SCOTT!
Jake Mercer: WHAT?! LIKE THIS?! AND HE ISN’T EVEN USING THE ‘JERRY SPECIAL ‘99’! MAYBE JAY HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE LAST TIME HE AND SCOTT FOUGHT! OH, NO! DON’T LET THIS BE IT!
(Another shot shows off Limmy, this time seated more forward in his chain as he watches on diligently. The referee raises Scott’s limp arm into the air. They let go…)
(…)
(…)
(…)
(… and it drops.)
Stew-O: That’s the first one! Scott’s hand falls to the canvas! The referee is picking it up again!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Jake Mercer: It falls AGAIN! NO WAY! NO WAY IN HELL! GOD HELP US ALL IF THIS IS IT! IT CANNOT BE! SCOTT, WAKE UP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WAKE! UP! PLEASE!
Flannery McCoy: AND HERE’S THE FINAL ATTEMPT! IF IT DROPS FOR THE THIRD TIME, THEN THAT’S IT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON WILL WIN THIS!
(The arena goes quiet out of disbelief. Everyone is on pins and needles watching. The cameras pan over the various faces of fans, ranging from shock, to stress, to absolute petrification. The shots then circle back to the ring where Jay is yelling ‘Yes!’ over and over again. Scott has yet to respond. The referee grabs a hold of his arm and raises it in the air.)
(They let go…)
(…)
(…)
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: AND THE HAND DROPS! THAT’S IT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS DONE–
Jake Mercer: – NOTHING! LOOK! SCOTT BALLED HIS HAND INTO A FIST! IT’S LIKE, WHAT, A FRACTION OF A CENTIMETER OFF THE CANVAS!? HE’S STILL IN THIS MATCH!
(EAW replay shows that Scott Diamond was able to regain conscious! In an anxiety-inducing sight, his balled-up hand BARELY hovers over the ring mat. However, it doesn’t matter how close it is – he is still very much alive, and with that, the match continues.)
Crowd: AKLSKDJDLWJWJJFFHHJHJHLGALK!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! SCOTT DIAMOND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! THIS IS WHY HE IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!
Limmy Monaghan: … ha. I guess that’s true, isn’t it?
Stew-O: HE’S UP! HE’S UP! HE’S UP! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF! SCOTT DIAMOND IS ON HIS TWO FEET! IT WAS AN ARDUOUS CLIMB BACK UP, BUT HE’S HERE, STILL ALIVE, STILL BREATHING, STILL WILLING, WANTING AND ABLE TO FIGHT!
Jake Mercer: AND JAY IS IN A WHOLE WORLD OF TROUBLE! HE’S LIFTED UP INTO A VERTICLE BASE! HAHAHA! GOD, I LOVE THIS SIGHT! HE REALLY THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE ISN’T STAGNANT! HE’S SQUIRMING EVEN AS HE IS UP IN THE AIR! IN SPITE OF THE SHOCK AND DISAPPOINTMENT, HE KNOWS HE HAS TO GET IT TOGETHER OR RISK GETTING SEVERELY HURT BY SCOTT DIAMOND! JAY ISN’T GOING TO MAKE THIS EASY FOR HIM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF!
Stew-O: KNEES! KNEES! KNEES! JAY IS HITTING HIM ON THE HEAD WITH THEM! SCOTT STUMBLES, BUT HE MANAGES TO REGAIN HIS GRIP AND BALANCE! HE MOVES ON FORWARD AND SITS HIM DOWN ON THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: SCOTT RUNS IN! HOWEVER, JAY LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR AND COMES DOWN WITH A DIVING TORNADO DDT– WAIT! NO! SCOTT HAS IT SCOUTED! HE ROLLS THROUGH AND HAS JAY IN HIS GRASP!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAY HAS HIS ARM! HE HAS IT LOCKED IN A KIMURA! AND ALL THE WHILE HE’S STRIKING SCOTT’S SHOULDER WITH HEADBUTTS! DESPERATION AND AGGRESSION COMING INTO PLAY HERE!
Stew-O: AND THAT’S THE SAME SHOULDER THAT SCOTT RAMMED INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! JAY IS TRYING TO AGGRAVATE THE DAMAGE! AND IF HE CAN SOFTEN UP SCOTT LIKE THIS, THEN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO HIT HIS TRADEMARK MOVES, LIKE ‘THE VORTEX’ OR HAVE ‘THE LIFE SENTENCE’ LOCKED IN!
Jake Mercer: But Scott is saying ‘F that’! He IS JUST HULKING UP HERE! I think the adrenaline is just too strong right now for him to care let alone feel the pain! He PULLS Jay’s head underneath his arm and FALLS BACK INTO A DDT! I–I THINK THAT WAS MODIFICATION OF THE ‘DEAD LEVEL DDT’! MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME MOVE ONE-TO-ONE, BUT IT’S ENOUGH TO HAVE JAY DAMAGED! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR–
Flannery McCoy: NO! KICKOUT– BUT SCOTT ISN’T FAZED IN THE SLIGHTEST! ‘THE LIFE SENTENCE’! ‘THE LIFE SENTENCE’! HE HAS IT ON JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
Stew-O: THE OMOPLATA SHOULDER LOCK CROSSFACE HAS HIM IN A BAD POSITION! JUST LOOK ON THE PANIC ON JAY’S FACE, TOO! HE KNOWS THIS! SCOTT COULD VERY WELL END HIS NIGHT RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, KILLING JOHNSON’S DREAMS OF REDEEMING HIS LOSS TO HIM!
Jake Mercer: BUT GUYS, LOOK! I DON’T THINK HE HAS IT FULLY LOCKED IN! SCOTT IS GRIMACING! I THINK THE ATTENTION TO THAT HURT SHOULDER IS MAKING IT HARD FOR HIM TO GET THAT SUBMISSION APPLIED APPROPRIATELY!
Flannery McCoy: I think you’re right, Jake! He just needs to get that full extension in and he can make Jay tap here! He just has to close that gap and tighten it before he loses his grip! He’s readjusting the hold right now as he tries to do that–
Stew-O: – BUT JUST THAT BIT OF MOVEMENT IS ENOUGH FOR JAY JERRY JOHNSON TO ROLL FORWARD! NOW HE HAS SCOTT TRAPPED! HE JUST TURNED IT INTO A GROUNDED VERSION OF HIS ‘DEATH OF A WINGMAN’ PIN! HE’S PUT PLENTY OF ELITISTS AWAY WITH THIS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Jake Mercer: YOU CANNOT GET RID OF SCOTT DIAMOND THAT EASILY! HE KICKED OUT! THE MAD TITAN LIVES ON!
Flannery McCoy Both Elitists race up to their feet! Jay comes in, looking for a roundhouse! However, Scott sides steps it and grabs onto him! He lifts him up, but Jay pushes his forearms down onto his arms, breaking it up! He whips around! HOOK KICK LANDS! Scott stumbles backwards into the ropes! OH MY GOD! HE’S TAKING JAY’S HEAD CLEAN OFF HIS BODY WITH THE ‘POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK’–
Stew-O: Jay has it scouted out! In fact, he grabs the leg and turns it into a WHEELBARROW CROSS KNEELOCK! HE HAS IT IN–
Jake Mercer: – NO, NOT QUITE! Scott is able to roll on his back and use both of his feet to push him away! Jay rolls backwards! He pops back up–
Flannery McCoy: ‘POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK’! SCOTT HITS IT! HOWEVER, JAY DOESN’T DROP DOWN! IT’S AS IF HE’S BEEN KNOCKED OUT COLD ON HIS FEET! SCOTT AND EVERYONE ELSE HERE IN THE ARENA LOOK DUMBFOUNDED!
Stew-O: But Scott realizes that this could be it! This could be what he needs to end things here! He takes hold of Jay and gets him on the shoulders! The fans come unglued from their seats! JAY IS GOING TO BE THROWN INTO ‘THE VORTEX’–
Jake Mercer: – HUH?! HE DROPS DOWN! HE DROPS BEHIND SCOTT DIAMOND AND FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER! BUT HE’S HURT! I DON’T KNOW HOW HE EVEN HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO GET OUT OF THAT, BUT HE DID! STILL, HE’S ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE! SCOTT IS AN APEX PREDATOR READY TO GO IN FOR THE KILL! HE RUNS IN–
Flannery McCoy: – JUMPING HEADBUTT BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON! SCOTT STAGGERS FROM THE IMPACT! WHAT A HARD-HITTING BLOW THERE! LET’S JUST HOPE THAT HE DIDN’T CRACK HIM OPEN WITH THAT ONE GIVE SCOTT’S INJURIES!
Stew-O: And Jay is able to avert disaster even if it is for a moment! He turns around and hops on the middle rope while Scott slowly teeters towards him! Jay flips back… AND RIGHT INTO THE SLINGSHOT FRONT-FLIP CUTTER! ‘PRETTY VISITOR’ IS EXECUTED TO PERFECTION! HE HAS SCOTT STUNNED, AS HE DOES WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS ARENA! THIS IS GOING TO BE IT!
Jake Mercer: BUT SCOTT IS TRYING TO GET UP! HE ISN’T OUT JUST YET! HE’S HURT, THOUGH! HE’S IN A BAD SHAPE! HE COMES TO HIS KNEES AS JAY WATCHES ON! THIS COCKY MORON POINTS AT HIM AND CALLS FOR THE END OF THE MATCH! HE HITS THE ROPES AND COMES BACK WITH ALL OF THAT EXTRA MOMENTUM! SCOTT IS IN TROUBLE! ‘FLAMBAGE SHOT!’ –

Flannery McCoy: RIGHT INTO ‘THE VORTEX’! F5! F5! F5! THE IMPACT SENDS A SHOCK THROUGHOUT THE RING! SCOTT DIAMOND POPPED UP WITH EVERY BIT OF RESOLVE AND RAN RIGHT AT JAY, TAKING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN! WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE WITNESSING HERE?!! THIS IS INSANE EVEN FOR SCOTT DIAMOND’S STANDARDS!
Stew-O: BUT HE CAN’T GET A COVER ON HIM! SCOTT COLLAPSES! JAY IS DOWN! BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT IN THE RING, HAVING EXPELLED EVERY LAST BIT OF THEIR ENERGY IN THIS BRUTAL AFFAIR! BOTH WANT THE MOMENTUM, BOTH WERE READY TO TEAR INTO EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND NEITHER OF THEM HAVE HELD ANYTHING BACK!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!
Jake Mercer: I… oh god. With how much Jay and Scott have overwhelmed each other in this match, do… do you guys think there’s a chance this may end in a no-contest… ?!
Stew-O: !
Flannery McCoy: !!
Stew-O: One would have to hope not! However, both Elitists haven’t moved! They’re both battered and exhausted!
Limmy Monaghan: It’s been quite the war. However, knowing these two, I think they’re not going to stay down for long. They have too much pride in them to just lay down and let the match run its course like this.
Jake Mercer: That better be the case, because the referee is initiating the count!
ONE!
Stew-O: Everything has come back to burden these two. The fans are growing antsy!
TWO!
Jake Mercer: Come on, guys! Get up and finish this!
Limmy Monaghan: Oh, so you’re rooting for Jay as well now?
Jake Mercer: I– well, uh, I just don’t want to see what has maybe been a great main event that may or may not have shown Jay at his strongest in a while come to an unfortunate end! That’s all!
Limmy Monaghan: :mjlol:
THREE!
Flannery McCoy: As funny as that is, this situation we are in is not. Both competitors STILL have yet to move! And the referee isn’t going to slow down!
FOUR!
Stew-O: The fans are yelling! They want them to get up!
FIVE!
Jake Mercer: Man, I’m too young to have a heart attack right now.
SIX!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! Scott is moving! He’s moving! He’s starting to stir!
SEVEN!
Stew-O: As does Jay! He’s starting to wake up! He’s rolling over onto his side! Now, both he and Scott fight to their knees!
EIGHT!
Jake Mercer: THEY’RE MOVING! AND THE WAY THE FANS ARE CHEERING IS DEAFEANING! SCOTT AND JAY ARE CLOSE TO THEIR FEET!
NINE!
Flannery McCoy: ALMOST THERE…
T–
Stew-O: THEY ARE UP!
(The fans in attendance go wild as Scott and Jay make it before the count of ten. The camera pans over to the commentary team where relief graces their faces. Limmy, in his own seat, gives a close-eyed smile.)
Limmy Monaghan: I knew it.
(The shot then follows back to the ring where Jay Jerry Johnson and Scott Diamond are standing across from each other. They’re hurt, exhausted, and running on fumes at this rate. However, their fighting spirit is still in tact. After a brutal dance, the two partners in violence give each other a nod.)
(Then, it all picked back up.)
Stew-O: BOTH GO AFTER EACH OTHER! PUCHES AND SHOTS ARE THROWN! SCOTT! JAY! SCOTT! JAY! SCOTT! JAY! THEY ARE FIGHTING, THEY ARE PUSHING PAST THE PAIN, AND THE FANS ARE LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS! SCOTT HAS SHOWN HE STILL HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO HANG WITH THE NEW ERA, AND JAY HAS PROVEN THAT HE CAN GIVE ANYONE A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY! THIS BLOWS THEIR LAST MATCH OUT OF THE WATER!
Jake Mercer: And neither are giving up! They are just going blow-for-blow in that ring! I still can’t stand Jay, but you know what? Whether he wins or lose, he’s holding his own against a legend in Scott Diamond! This is the Jay we should’ve had MONTHS ago!
Flannery McCoy: The fans are chanting along to the punches! They’re fully into this! But of course, Jay and Scott only care about one thing: WINNING! Both men are NOW going around the world inside of the ring, teeing off on each other with everything that they’ve got! They’re STILL GOING! Will this ever end at this rate?!
Stew-O: Well, the trip seems to stop as Jay is the one against the ropes! However, he’s reciprocating every last shot towards Scott Diamond! Both are continuing to slug it out as the referee steps in! They’re telling Scott he has to back up!
Jake Mercer: And he does – ONLY TO COME IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT JAY HOLDS ON AFTER GETTING HIT! THEY BOTH GO OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKE A NASTY SPILL TO THE OUTSIDE! OH, AND SCOTT’S BACK CLIPPED THE APRON ON THE WAY DOWN! HE’S ON THE GROUND AS IS JAY!
Flannery McCoy: Both are on the floor in front of everyone! Scott’s favoring that back of his again, and I’m sure with how he was losing himself within those punches, his shoulder might be flaring up, too! Likewise, that was a stiff clothesline Jay had to eat!
Limmy Monaghan: That’s what happens when both Elitists desire something badly. They’re willing to throw caution to the wind. Pain is a necessary evil that so many have no issues enduring if it means they can be prove themselves to be the best to have ever stepped foot in here.
Jake Mercer: No doubt about it, Limommy! Still, that was far from a graceful fall for either of them. The referee is stepping out as both men struggle to find their way back up. They have to make sure that both men continue!
Stew-O: And here they come, checking up on Jay first as he–
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! Someone JUST lept over the barricade and shoved them aside! And now they JUST HIT JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP!! THEY DROP IT AD NOW THEY’RE BATTERING HIM WITH ALL SORTS OF PUNCHES AND STOMPS!
Limmy Monaghan: .. Remember when I said that people are bound to make enemies?
Jake Mercer: WAIT, YEAH, THAT ISN’T NO RANDO! THAT’S PJ HENDRX!
Stew-O: AND THE REFEREE GETS BACK UP AND CALLS FOR THE BELL! THEY’RE CALLING THIS MATCH A NO-CONTEST!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT?!
Jake Mercer: i mean… we shouldn’t be surprised. Justified in my books. 🤷♂️
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Even with the no-contest decision, there’s a mixed reception from the crowd. Of course, there are many who are upset that the match ended in the manner that it did, but there are those who cheer, either because of their sympathy towards PJ and how Jay attacked him last week, or, well, because attacks and beefs are always entertaining. PJ continues to attack a downed Jay Jerry Johnson as more officials race out to stop him.)
PJ Hendrx: (off-mic) Yeah, you (bleep!)(bleep!)(bleep!) Mess with me now! You wanna screw with my matches?! Huh?! And think I ain’t gonna come after you? If you think youre funny, we don’t gotta wait for April for me to make a joke outta you! What you thought this was!
(Partly cathartic for him, PJ wails out on him.)
Stew-O: And PJ is incensed! He isn’t willing to stop! However, other officials and now security guards are intervening before this gets worse!
Jake Mercer: Hahahaha! No, let him go! Let him at ‘em! Jay did the same thing and these people didn’t come out to stop him!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, gosh… this has evolved into something that neither men will be able to come back from. We figured that PJ was going to get his comeuppeance, but personally, I’m in shock!
Limmy Monaghan: Like I said, it’s the nature of this sport. Honestly, I’m surprised PJ didn’t show up sooner.
(The staff are able to pry PJ away and escort the Interwire Champion out of the arena. Jay tries to stand, but between a competitive main event and an unsuspecting, brutal attack, he can barely move a muscle. PJ continues to yell at him even as he reaches the stage. One of the personnel runs up and hands him his championship. He proceeds to raise it up into the air.)
PJ Hendrx: (off-mic) Don’t mess with me, boy! It ain’t sweet with us!
(Jay is finally helped up by the medical staff who also tend to Scott Diamond. When PJ takes his leave, some of the medical personnel help Jay to the stage. As he walks, the camera picks up on the bitter look on his face. He’s smoldering, and there’s no doubt that Jay himself will come for PJ in due time. For now, he leaves, needing to recuperate and to think about everything that transpired.)
Stew-O: I… wow. That might’ve been the wildest thing we’ve saw on Dynasty thus far this year.
Jake Mercer: More like AMAZING! Oh, I love seeing karma unfold on people.
Flannery McCoy: Will you stop with that already?!
Stew-O: At any rate, that was the main-event. A big-time showing for both Elitists, even if it ended in this manner. I’m sure the EAW Universe will be abuzz about tonight and, more specifically, this match even as we head over to Newark, New Jersey next week for our next show!
Jake Mercer: And I’m sure our own hometown crowd are going to want to see what happens next between PJ and Jay! But in the meantime, Limmy, serious question I got for you. What brand of hair conditioner do you use to get those luscious locks–
(As Jake turned, Limmy was already out of his seat. It doesn’t take long to find the EAW Heavyweight Champion over where Scott Diamond is at. The latter was able to stand back up on his own, though it’s clear that with everything his body had to go through in recent weeks, he’s rather tender. However, all of that pain seemed to go away in an instant the moment he realizes that Limmy is nearby. There’s no hostility between them. If anything, Limmy offers a simple smile.)
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) Are you good?
(Scott can’t help but shake his head and chuckle.)
Scott Diamond: (off-mic) Yeah, I’m good. Peachy, even. Never felt better.
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) Good. Because I need you at your best, Scott.
(Limmy points to the championship on his shoulder.)
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) … Especially when I am levels above who you just faced tonight.
(Scott slowly nods his head. Some of the staff come in-between the men, likely paranoid after tonight’s events. However, things end cordially. Limmy takes his leave as Scott watches on. When Limmy reaches the stage, he stops, turns and looks back at Scott one last time from his vantage point.)
(The EAW Heavyweight Championship is raised in the air. The greatest prize on the brand. It glistens within the spotlight. As Scott looks on, it’s almost as if his eyes spark with something familiar. As if he is closer to getting that certain feeling again. Maybe soon, he won’t be so jaded by the industry anymore.)
(But he has to wait three more weeks before he’s able to find that piece of him again.)
(Limmy gives one last smile towards the fans as they cheer. Soon, he disappears. The shot then pans over back to Scott Diamond. A lot of things go through his mind, but there will be time for him to get them sorted. As he starts to walk and leave the arena, we fade to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
