(EAW Intro plays.)
(The show begins as usual. We get rapidly edited footage of the previous week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty. We see images of Joso, Harley Lewis, Pandora Paisley, and Aria as they end up victorious in their respective matches. Serenity Valdez and Ximena Velasquez also are victorious in their bouts as the recap continues. EAW Specialist Champion Harper Lee manages to defeat Lisa Wren in their Iconic Cup bout. We see other moments from the show such as the confrontation between SOSA Henderson and Xander Payne. Lastly, we are shown a classic main event match between World Heavyweight Champion The Visual Prophet and his opponent The Forgotten Mortal Alex Myers which saw Viz ending the match on top with his hand raised.)
(The recap ends and the show officially begins. Madison Square Garden in New York City is the place where it all takes place this week. The historic arena begins to come alive with unrivaled enthusiasm as the local fans inside the Garden are filling up the sold out showcase. Fireworks suddenly begin shooting all over the arena as ‘P.A.T.’ by Denzel Curry begins to pump out the public announcement speakers. We get fan images from inside of the building where we can see fans wearing several elitist branded merchandise. We see a “Payne for Play” hooded sweatshirt on one treh and a “ARIA” football jersey type of shirt on a young boy cheering from the crowd. We see a bunch of other signs as well until finally we reach our way towards the announcers desk. We get a glimpse of Stew-O and his two co-hosts Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer as they prepare to speak)
Stew-O: We are here, we are live, and we are coming to you from the city that never sleeps! The Big Apple! New York City is the home for this week’s Friday Night Dynasty! Stew-O here alongside me includes Jake Mercer…
Jake Mercer: Sturdy Stew-O you see the love I get here in New York? Bing Bong we outside!
Stew-O: Anyways, we are also joined by the queen of Dynasty’s commentary line up…Flannery McCoy.
Flannery McCoy: I am humbled by the moniker, thank you Stew!
Stew-O: Thank you for not leaving me stuck with Jake alone.
Jake Mercer: :wow:
Flannery McCoy: Of course not. You know me and you carry this guy like Jake Smith carries Chris Elite in their tag team. Plus, this is probably one of the biggest episodes of Friday Night Dynasty this season!
Stew-O: Yes ma’am! We’ve got some Iconic Cup match ups that are highly anticipated including a fan favorite one featuring Miku Sakai who will take on Ximena Velasquez.
Flannery McCoy: We’ve also got three New Era Classic bouts that will feature the likes of Harley Lewis, JOSO, Aria, Oliver Taylor, McCall Everett, and Roberto De La Rosa! We are going to see some new stars being born tonight and at The Grand Rampage next week.
Jake Mercer: I think this will be my year. I think I have a good chance at winning the Grand Rampage guys. EVERYONE’S GOT ONE SHOT AND I THINK I MIGHT TAKE MINE!
(“Back II Life” by Soul II Soul begins blasting as the fans go nuts until…they only see Dr. Angelo D’angelo appear backstage. Alongside Angelo, out walks several VPLA students wearing their school uniforms. Wearing a VPLA Sweatsuit and a kufi, Dr. Angelo shakes his head as he walks down the ramp to the ring.)
Jake Mercer: The Kente Cloth Crusader is back, baby!
Stew-O: Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and The Visual Prophet got rocked last week by scathing allegations of fraud purported by Cage in regards to The Visual Prophet Leadership academy. Cage apparently visited the school and reported that things were not as it seemed. Cage seemed to speculate that Viz wasn’t aware of what Angelo was doing at the school and that the children were being brainwashed and even zombie-like. Angelo likely is here to explain himself as he has several VPLA students in tow following him to the ring.
(We see the charismatic Dr. Angelo staring smugly at the crowd of semi cheering and semi booing fans with his lips poked out and a microphone in his hand.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Hello you robotic, rhythmless caucasian crustaceans! I hear some of you cheering and some of you…showing some dissent towards me. I reckon this is stemming from the OUTLANDISH, BOGUS, FAKE, and PURE LIES SPEWED by that Canadian CAC Cage last week. Last week, that career crash test dummy CLAIMED to have visited the world famous, state of the art, extravagant campus that is The Visual Prophet Leadership Academy and some of you believed him. The VPLA is the greatest achievement in education in the history of this country. It’s the premier preparatory institute for an all black student body that has ever been created. LeBron and The I Promise Academy WISHES they could do the good we do at The VPLA. The VPLA is guiding young black boys and black girls into prosperity and higher forms of education that would normally not be available to them. We at the VPLA strive to uplift…no. We aim to SAVE OUR COMMUNITY despite facing the ultimate adversity any human being in America can face; being the descendants of SLAVES! We were in SHACKLES and at the VPLA we don’t believe a challenge exists that we can’t tackle! That depiction that Cage showed was a bold face LIE! It was libel! It was SLANDER! That BLUE EYES WHITE DEVIL IS TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE PUBLIC! That colorless CAC is trying to violate the hard work your World Heavyweight Champion has put into this. That CAREER CHOKE ARTIST is desperately trying to sway the court of public opinion and deface a prominent BLACK MAN!
(Angelo shakes his head furiously before continuing.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: When I see my name or my brothers/sisters names getting spun through the media, I refer to all my research about who they are.Their job is to CONTROL PUBLIC PERCEPTION, all while profiting off discussing, discrediting, and disrespecting people’s lives for entertainment. That’s what Cage is aiming to do. He aims to profit off this nonsense and STEAL the World Heavyweight Championship from the Visual Prophet! We are here to say NO to Cage and his colonizer tendencies. That is why I am out here with these brave young boys and girls from the VPLA. They and I are here to defend the Founder of the VPLA. Cage claims the school is a sham. Cage claims the school is being used to launder money. These are serious allegations, people. THEY ALWAYS TRYNA TEAR DOWN GOOD BLACK MEN! First Tory Lanez and now Viz! But we will not allow it. THE TREACHERY!!! No, no, no! We are here to act as a SHIELD of sorts and protect The Visual Prophet who also will protect them at Grand Rampage where he will vanquish that BLUE EYES WHITE DEVIL CAGE! Young man, speak.
VPLA Student Boy: …Hello.
(An almost zombie-like state washes over the young man who is standing in attention in a row with about half a dozen other students.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: How do you feel, young black KING!?
VPLA Student Boy: …Good.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: EXACTLY! You want to tell these people and specifically that Caucasoid culdasac sack chaser that he’s wrong?
VPLA Student Boy: …He’s wrong.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: :wow: A child that cannot lie is all we bred at The VPLA! Next student! The young lady with the braids, step up!
(A different student walks to the front as the young boy falls back in line like a soldier.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: You, young lady! Do you eat good at The VPLA!?
VPLA Student Girl: …Eat good.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: We are serving up the most nutritious, delicious, propitious meals around! Also, have you seen any leaks or puddles inside our state of the art facility!?
VPLA Student Girl: …Yes.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: EXCUSE ME?!?
VPLA Student Girl: …I-I-I mean…no. No headmaster Angelo.
???: Woah, Woah, Woah…
(Out walks The Visual Prophet. The crowd began turning on Dr. Angelo as it was evident these kids were mentally wiped and zombified. The audience began immediately cheering for their World Champion who looked puzzled and confused at what was going on. Viz is wearing his VPLA sweatsuit with his World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder.)
Stew-O: This looks…very bad. Like very, very bad. These kids look…
Jake Mercer: SO ENTHUSIASTIC TO SEE THE VISUAL PROPHET! SO AM I! SO IS THE NYC CROWD! THE NEW YORK NATIVES LOVE THE VISUAL PROPHET AND VIZ LOVES NYC JUST AS MUCH, STEW! #TOPDRAW
(Viz enters the ring and pulls Dr. Angelo to the side. They get into a clear back and forth with Viz looking extremely uncomfortable. Dr. Angelo has an extremely awkward smile on his face as he shrugs his shoulders. Viz points to the kids who look barely able to stand and hardly blink. Viz looks concerned as Angelo motions for him to calm down and hands him the microphone.)
The Visual Prophet: Bro…what. I-I don’t know what to say.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: TALK THAT TALK, VIZ!
The Visual Prophet: Angie…bro. These kids, my god…
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Don’t worry about them, LET CAGE HAVE IT FOR SLANDERING OUR SCHOOL!
The Visual Prophet: Angie…dude. These kids look…
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: AS HEALTHY AS THEIR MIGHTY FOUNDER! THE HEAD HONCHO! THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! HA-HA! TALK THAT TAWK!!!!! LET CAGE KNOW WHAT HE GOT IN STORE!
(Angelo motions to Viz to cut his promo but Viz is bewildered. Viz looks around the arena as the entire building is booing Angelo and looking sympathetic to Viz.)
Stew-O: Maybe Cage was right. Maybe Viz didn’t know it was this bad. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo has been robbing Viz, using the World Heavyweight Champion, and has these kids looking lost and confused. This is disgusting.
The Visual Prophet: Angelo…tell me Cage was lying.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I JUST TOLD YOU! I JUST TOLD EVERYONE! THAT BLUE EYES WHITE DEVIL IS A LYAAAAH!!!! These kids are fine. The school is the best school in the world. We are making a difference! We saving lives! We are turning our community into a utopia! You put Detroit on your back! Malcolm Jones could NEVER do what we did in this city. Chris Elite could never do what you did in New York. You the HNIC! You are the realest alive! The BEST EVER! You gotta talk ya talk and let that bumbling CAC Cage know at Grand Rampage that he is in tro-
(“Smells like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana blasts as all inside the building rise. The crowd pops as out walks Cage himself wearing a denim jacket over a plain white t-shirt and some denim pants. His black boots stomp on the entrance ramp as he marches to the ring with his face turning red with anger and his head shaking with each step.)
Stew-O: Looks like Cage has seen enough.
Flannery McCoy: Cage and Viz both look disgusted at what Dr. Angelo has seemingly done with these poor VPLA students. How could Viz not know? How is Cage about to take this all in? Cage and Viz look thrown as Angelo looks nonchalant at his champion’s challenger approaching the ring.
(Cage enters the ring and grabs a microphone of his own as his music fades out. Cage looks at Viz and next at Dr. Angelo. Cage wipes his face and is utterly disgusted at what he sees.)
Cage: The jig is up, Angelo.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Ain’t no jig, you cave dweller!
Cage: Even Viz here can see what I exposed last week. I was right. You are nothing but a scammer. Beyond that, you are manipulating, starving, and indoctrinating these kids at that shit hole you claim as a school. You got these poor kids coming in each and every week walking around hallways with puddles everywhere due to the lack of a proper roof over their heads. Exposed wires and electrical hazards next to lockers isn’t safe at all for kids to be around. All that money Viz makes in EAW, off endorsements, and through donations and it’s going nowhere but this scammers pockets.
The Visual Prophet: Cage, cmon…
Cage: No. Ain’t no cmon. Look at what you allowed to happen right under your nose. You were the team captain of Team Dynasty at Territorial Invasion, right? Always bragging about your leadership and shit and look what that leadership has led to. The Visual Prophet Leadership Academy is a SHAM! A shit show. A false reality. A false reality with a founder who turns out is just a false prophet. We’ve said it for years but you finally are the false prophet we always said you were. Damn shame, Viz. Damn…shame.
The Visual Prophet: My god…
Cage: My god what? You are going to need more than whatever god you pray to come to the Grand Rampage. Save the emotions for your mother because after I beat you for that World Heavyweight title, I’ll make sure you and Dr. FRAUD-gelo are never allowed these students again. Can’t even call em students. They are servants. They have been brainwashed.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE UN-MELANATED ONE!
Cage: I SHOULD BEAT YOUR ASS RIGHT-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: WOAH…
(Angelo grabs two of the six VPLA students and pushes them in front of him. Viz shakes his head and turns away disgusted as he drops his belt. Cage stops as he approaches Dr. Angelo who is now cowering behind the VPLA boy and girl students he just used to speak on the microphone previously.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Come on now, Cage! Settle yourself down! Watch yourself, CAC! You wouldn’t hurt innocent inner city youths, huh? You wouldn’t dare lay a finger on these innocent kids, right? An angry little white man wouldn’t hurt these kids to get to me would you?
Stew-O: CAGE steps back and reconsiders…UNTIL!!!!
Flannery McCoy: CAGE LIGHTLY MOVES THE TWO KIDS OUT THE WAY! CAGE QUICKLY SNATCHES UP DR. ANGELO BY THE COLLAR AND NOW ANGELO IS DEFENSELESS! CAGE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD AS HE IS NOW CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF THE ASSISTANT TO…WAIT!
The Visual Prophet: *Finger Snap*
(The VPLA students quickly rush and leap all over Cage. All six students pile onto Cage who is confused and thrown off at how fast they move and maneuver.)
Cage: Bro, AYO VIZ!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!? VIZ!? VIZ, tell these kids to back-WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
Flannery McCoy: Oh my god. Viz…he’s smiling…THAT SON OF A BITCH IS SMILING!
The Visual Prophet: :dougieb:
Jake Mercer: Oh my god. This was not in the damn dirt sheets! I pay like 17.99 a day to get the inside scoops and this wasn’t in it, guys.
Stew-O: My lord. My god. Viz has his kids mauling Cage. The VPLA students are scratching, clawing, and biting the skin of Cage after they rip off his denim jacket. Cage has no choice but to try to fight all the children off as their aggressiveness is evident. These kids are attacking Cage as Dr. Angelo sits in the corner wiping his brow and The Viz prophet is slowly picking up his World Heavyweight title from the ground. A sadistic smile covers Viz’s face as Cage is on his back kicking and punching away the children trying to defend himself. Viz walks over to Dr Angelo and gently helps his friend up, placing the world title on his partner’s shoulder, and giving him a playful jab to the rib. Viz winks to the camera before turning back to Cage.
Flannery McCoy: This is one of the most sinister things I have ever seen. Viz has been a fan favorite for so long and now…
Jake Mercer: Heel Viz byke, guys.
(Viz is berating Cage as he barely gets the kids away from him. The entire building has completely turned on The Visual Prophet. No cheering can be heard. Just unified boos. Viz grabs a microphone as he points at Dr. Angelo. Angelo takes the World Heavyweight title and cocks it back. As Cage gets to one knee finally, Angelo ceases his opportunity.)
The Visual Prophet: Hit him, Angie.
Stew-O: Dr. Angelo rushes and BAM! RIGHT INTO THE SKULL OF CAGE! THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP IS USED AS A BATTERING RAM BY ANGELO TO SMASH RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF CAGE WHO IS FLAT ON HIS BACK HOLDING HIS FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Viz has left me at a loss for words. I cannot believe this. I just cannot believe this.
The Visual Prophet: *Finger Snap*
Jake Mercer: On cue, the VPLA students quickly swarm Cage again! This time, they drag him off the ring mat as they hold him up by his arms as he’s barely conscious following that belt shot to the face.
The Visual Prophet: So…I fibbed. I fibbed earlier when I pretended to not know what this all really was. I didn’t lie about the intention of the VPLA, Cage. I lied about the conditions and the food and some of the other stuff. I mean, I never REALLY lied. You just either heard what you wanted to hear or believed what I said word for word. The VPLA is the best educational facility in the world for black children because they get to learn to be just like me. The Best EVER at this thing right here. I am the ultimate role model. The greatest leader that ever lived. Regardless of what you THINK we are doing wrong…
(Angelo places the title right back around The Visual Prophet’s waist and buckles it tight.)
The Visual Prophet: This belt means no matter what you think…I am right. This belt means everything I’ve done was good. I am the ultimate good. I am the only one capable of such a great thing in this sport, Cage. I am necessary. I am too big to fail. I am appointment viewing. I am the top draw of professional wrestling and this smile…
The Visual Prophet: This smile will remain on all of the posters. It will remain on all the banners. The side of the trucks, the front of the billboards, and all the media you see associated with this company. This face is the face of this entire organization. Regardless of how you or any of these people feel about the “ethics” or the “public relations” of what we’ve done…guess what? I make too much fucking money to be stifled. I make too much revenue to be stopped. I bring in too much mainstream media to be silenced and ended. The ultimate leverage one can have is in themself because if you are so valuable that companies have to look the other way at anything they even THINK isn’t right…they have to bow down to you. I Tried to show you all the way last year when I resigned. But none of my EAW brothers and sisters wanted to listen. You called me selfish. You said I was greedy. You fell for the corporate jargon and negotiation messaging EAW gave you but don’t worry. I understand you and these people might have been to fucking stupid to understand what I was doing. But, these VPLA students won’t make that mistake. I will raise them to be smarter than all of you. I will guide them to be as great as me one day. I will save this community, I will save my city, I will save this industry and I will do so not as an “elitist” like you, Cage. I will do so as your World Heavyweight Champion. With that said…
(Viz begins to clear his throat.)
The Visual Prophet: Allow me to give a big thank you to FanDuel Sportsbook! Gambling is becoming legal all over this country, especially here in THE BIG APPLE…NEW YORK CITY!!!

See you at where you will see me dressed like how a champion should dress. Entering to championship quality music. Flanked by my BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER Dr. Angelo and with my VPLA students in the building cheering me on. To my Propheteers, Vaniacs, and V-Hive members who still believe in their Luminary leader…WE WILL NOT STOP! NEVER EVER NEVER! Sincerely yours…
Stew-O: Viz drops the mic…he backs up against the ropes…VIZ LAUNCHES HIMSELF FULL SPEED…BAM!!!! ELBOW TO THE CRANIUM OF CAGE AS VIZ LANDS HIS INFAMOUS KISS TO THE HEAD ELBOW! CAGE IS COMPLETELY OUT COLD! CAGE IS ABSOLUTELY OUT AS VIZ STANDS TALL! THE VPLA STUDENTS HOLD HANDS AS ANGELO IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN! THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS BOOING AS THE VISUAL PROPHET HAS DONE THE UNTHINKABLE!
Flannery McCoy: I-I…I can not believe this.
Jake Mercer: I can…HEEL VIZ BYKE BITCHES!!!!
(The scene fades out with The Visual Prophet standing tall, his belt high in the air, and Cage out cold on his back.)
(A commercial is shown for The Visual Prophet versus Cage for the World Heavyweight Championship at Grand Rampage.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the first match tonight!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a BLOCK A MATCH IN THE NEW ERA CLASSIC!!! And it is a bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Best Damn Thing’ by Avril Lavigne hits through the speakers of Madison Square Garden. A loud cheer comes from the audience as McCall Everett makes her way to the stage. She begins high-fiving a few young skateboarders, a smile accompanying it. McCall dances jovially before making her way down the entrance ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first from Enumclaw, Washington weighing in at 107 pounds, she is the “Skater Gurl” MCCALLLLLLLLL EVERETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: She hasn’t had the best win-loss record in this New Era Classic, but she is no doubt looking to change all that here tonight!
Jake Mercer: I used to be a skater once, I remember when Tony Hawk and I competed for a gold medal at the 1987 Tokyo Olympics!
Stew-O: Yeah, sure. Anyways, it seems like McCall is taking a different, much more positive approach to this match. Both competitors are looking for redemption, and they’re both hoping that today is the day they’re going to get that.
(‘Por Mi Mexico’ by Lefty SM (Ft. Santa Fe Klan) hits through the speakers as smoke covers a large figure. Both Esmeralda and Roberto De La Rosa pose on the entrance stage, as the crowd begins to boo them. They pay no mind to it, however, as they both make a serious walk down the entrance ramp.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent from Hidalgo, Mexico weighing in at 245 pounds, “El Padrastro” ROBBERTTOOOO DEEEE LAA ROSSSAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: YES! DE LA ROSA! DE LA ROSA! DE LA ROSA! EVERYBODY CHEER WITH ME!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: He is oddly ecstatic to see De La Rosa today. I wonder if it has anything to do with Harley Lewis and the party girls he was crushing on.
Stew-O: Probably, but let’s not forget the MONSTER of a man we are seeing right in front of us. He is looking to seek redemption after a loss to Harley Lewis, the latter facing Oliver Taylor later on!
Jake Mercer: LET’S FUCKING GET IT BIG BOY! WOO! DE LA ROSA! DE LA ROSA!
Flannery McCoy: I think we all share a similar sentiment with just how hyped we are to see these two competitors go at each other here tonight!
Stew-O: Seems like Jake has calmed down here tonight.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND WE ARE OFF! Both competitors look ready here tonight, most especially McCall who does not seem to be fazed at the insane size difference. Roberto, on the other hand looks ready for war, as per usual.
Flannery McCoy: McCall and Roberto are circling the ring, trying to find an angle. Roberto goes in for the lockup… BUT NO! McCall ducks underneath for a waistlock! De La Rosa doesn’t look fazed, though. He lands a moderately powerful elbow to the side of McCall, but McCall rebounds off the ropes and ducks into a chop block to the back of De La Rosa’s leg! She’s really trying to use her speed here tonight!
Jake Mercer: She holds the side of her body in extreme pain, knowing the power of De La Rosa has affected her early on tonight. However, she remains focused. McCall tries to run off the ropes with a flying crossbody, but the insane power of De La Rosa causes him to catch her mid-air, driving her down backfirst into the mat for a powerslam! The power from De La Rosa is truly showing early on in the match.
Stew-O: McCall has left her mark though, that chop block really targeting De La Rosa’s knees early on. Roberto goes for the cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
Referee: THRRRRREEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: What a kickout by McCall Everett! She’s showing that despite her size, she has a lot of heart here tonight. Roberto looks disappointed, shaking his head like a wet dog! The big Mexican rolls her over, and picks her up. He’s trying to go for the De La Rosa Classic!
Stew-O: BUT EVERETT IS FIGHTING BACK! She’s landing big body shots, trying to target his ribs. Body shot after body shot, and she finally forces Roberto to let go! He’s holding his ribs in pain, and McCall uses this to her advantage! She runs off the ropes and lands a jumping forearm smash on Roberto’s face!
Jake Mercer: She isn’t stopping either, running off the same rope countless times. It’s clear she’s trying to use the momentum to push De La Rosa over the top rope!
Stew-O: She’s going for another one, and she jumps high in the air, but NO! De La Rosa picks her up by her shoulders and throws her down to the ground with extreme force! McCall is clutching at her back, clearly in a lot of pain! She finally gets up, but here comes Roberto with a Clothesline from Hell! Holy fucking shit! That just sent her up over the ropes and onto the outside floor!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: Come on, McCall. You can do it! She’s getting up off the ground, using the barricade as leverage. A lot of fans are cheering her on tonight!
Jake Mercer: Can she make it, though? I mean, I’m no medical expert, but she doesn’t look to be in tip-top condition! Use your brain, Flannery. She’s not making it. On the other hand, look at how dominant Roberto looks in the centre of the ring!
Stew-O: You’re right, Jake. He seems to be in prime condition to still keep the fight going. McCall on the other hand, I don’t feel like she can take much more punishment!
Flannery: Stop doubting my girl, alright? She can handle herself, skaters are tough.
Referee: FOUURRRRRRRR!
Referee: FIVEEEEEEEE!
Referee: SIIXXXXXXXXXXXXX!
Referee: SEEEEEEVEEEEENNNN!
Jake Mercer: See what I mean? That’s the seven count right there, Flan. Love it or hate it, she isn’t going to get up there. No matter how tough you are, that clothesline can knock ANYBODY out.
Referee: EIGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTT!
Referee: NINNNEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TEEEEEEN-
Flannery McCoy: And she finally does it! See, I told you that you can’t doubt my girl! You still have a point, Stew. Is she still physically ready to fight? She rolls inside the ring, but how much more punishment can she truly take? McCall is trying to get up using the turnbuckle as leverage. Roberto circles around the ring, trying to find an opening for the Talon De Aguila!
Stew-O: But it seems like McCall isn’t an easy opponent! She’s begging Roberto to come at him, begging for the spear! Roberto is thinking about it, but decides to go for something else! McCall rests on the turnbuckle, as Roberto goes in for a Stinger Splash, but McCall dodges! De La Rosa’s head just landed on the turnbuckle! What the hell! McCall is truly trying to fight for life here tonight! Roberto is dazed and confused, and McCall is capitalizing on this!
Jake Mercer: COME ON, ROBERTO! Anyways, it looks like McCall is trying to give everything she has, throwing kicks to Roberto’s previously chop blocked knee. Kick after kick after kick! Roberto has crouched down on one knee! McCall has managed to make the beast touch Earth! She’s going all in to try and finish Roberto off! McCall runs off the adjacent turnbuckle, and what a move! She goes for a dropkick on the adjacently placed De La Rosa! He was almost sent flying outside the ropes, holy shit.
Flannery McCoy: Indeed she does! Roberto turns around, only to be met with a powerful Tornado DDT! She jumps up and hooks his head in between her arms, driving him headfirst into the ground with force! McCall beats her chest and screams, knowing that she finally has some momentum going! McCall gets him up on a kneeling position, and rebounds off the ropes for a Shining Wizard to the back of the head! ROBERTO HAS FINALLY GONE DOWN! CAN MCCALL PULL OUT THE VICTORY?
Stew-O: It seems like everyone is cheering her on tonight! She’s really turning the tide. McCall goes for the cover! She hooks the large legs of De La Rosa!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: LET’S FUCKING GO, BIG BOY! YOU AIN’T GIVING UP NOW, NOT TODAY! What a kickout by De La Rosa! Roberto is trying to push himself off the floor, as McCall tries to remain focused. She’s throwing wild blows on his back! Roberto is trying to fight it off, and finally catches his wind!
Stew-O: He presses his shoulder against her belly and rams her through the turnbuckle! What the hell! Clearly, neither of them look to be giving up!
Flannery McCoy: That must be it, truly. That looked like it might’ve hurt McCall badly! Roberto deeply inhales, before crouching down on his knees. He’s looking for the Talon De Aguila! McCall is dazed and trying to collect her thoughts, but it is too late! Roberto runs at her full steam ahead…
Jake Mercer: AND HE HITS IT! Jesus Christ, it looked like McCall basically flipped over him as he ran through her! What a fucking beast! Roberto’s chest is pumping as he feels that it’s his moment to get redemption. De La Rosa pulls McCall towards him, and lifts her up over his head in a crucifix powerbomb position!
Stew-O: He’s going for it, he truly is going for it! GRITO MEXICANO! The Spinning Crucifix Sitting Powerbomb planted McCall head first onto the hardwood mat! He’s going for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… ROBBBBBEEERRRRRTOOOO DE LAAAAA ROSSSSAAAAA!
(‘Por Mi Mexico’ by Lefty SM (Ft. Santa Fe Klan) hits through the speakers once more, as Esmeralda and Roberto celebrate their dominant victory in the center of the ring! The crowd boos him, as McCall tries to exit the arena.)
Jake Mercer: THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT, VATO! DE LA ROSA! DE LA ROSA!
Stew-O: That gives Roberto De La Rosa a grand total of 7 points!
Flannery McCoy: It was a good match between the two of them, but today, it was De La Rosa’s time for redemption in the New Era Classic! Whilst he may not have won though, there is no doubt that there has been a statement made that Roberto is someone to look out for in the future. Hopefully McCall gets her big moment down the line, though! She did really well in the tournament and has nothing to feel bad about! Nonetheless, congratulations to Roberto De La Rosa on his victory!
(Roberto and Esmeralda exit the ring as the two of them begin to head up the ramp and towards the backstage area. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show the backstage area of Madison Square Garden, where the camera is focused on Dynasty’s resident Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort. He’s standing in front of a generic EAW backdrop with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand. After a moment, he then begins to speak towards the camera from there.)
Michael Belfort: What an opening we’ve had to Friday Night Dynasty tonight! We are on the fast track to Grand Rampage and being a week away makes it all the more exciting for the EAW Universe along with everyone involved! But looking beyond that we can’t forget Battle of Egypt: Alexandria Falls hot on the horizon alongside that. We have some star-studded matches already confirmed for the Free-Per-View such as the Number One Contendership Universal Women’s Championship Ladder Match and the New Breed Championship being defended by Jon Kelton against Alex Myers. But along with those, along with being our focalpoint at the moment, is the Unified Tag Team Championship match with The Haircare Kings defending against The High Rollerz and… Solomon Stane and a mystery partner. Last week I got the opportunity to interview Solomon and get his thoughts on the issue at hand, with his partner Johnny Andrews being attacked the week before that. While he showed some disappointment regarding the matter, he said that he’s not going to let that Championship opportunity go to waste and has set out in search of a partner. This week I have a chance to get his thoughts again, so ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest tonight… Solomon Stane.
(The crowd cheers loudly as the camera pans over to show Solomon Stane making his way into the scene. He has a nonchalant expression on his face as he greets Michael with a simple nod. As the positive reaction towards him begins to die down, Michael then begins to bring the microphone back up to his mouth and continue speaking from there.)
Michael Belfort: Solomon, once again, thank you for joining us. I know these last few weeks have been hectic for you but I’m glad you were able to find some time to answer some questions for us.
Solomon Stane: No sweat, fire away.
Michael Belfort: Well firstly I’d like to ask about the buildup to the Unified Tag Team Championship match at Battle of Egypt. For the past few weeks since Johnny Andrews’ unfortunate injury it seems as though The Haircare Kings and The High Rollerz have gone about business amongst themselves. The two teams have been butting heads, whilst meanwhile… it seems they’ve left you in the dust. How do you feel about that? And do you have any plans to interject yourself into their conflict?
Solomon Stane: Of course, I mean, why wouldn’t I? I am still very much included in the Tag Team Championship match at Battle of Egypt, no matter what anyone says. And also despite the fact that The High Rollerz and The Haircare Kings want to act like I’m not and suddenly decide to solely focus on one another. No matter the circumstance, I am still walking into that match and I am still competing. If it’s by myself? Then sure, I’ll take that gamble. 1-on-2-on-2 ain’t the best odds, but it’s also not impossible to overcome either so hey, if I don’t have a choice, why the fuck not? But despite that though, I’d like to say that I’m going to get a tag partner real soon, and when I do? That’s when I make sure both teams regret sleeping on me by winning some gold. Don’t even get me started on the person that attacked Johnny either. I’m going to book them a first class ticket to the morgue once I find out who they are and make sure they regret ever doing that. But, we have to take things one step at a time, and that’s sure the only choice I have right now.
Michael Belfort: Speaking of your tag partner, have you come any close to finding a replacement? Or is that still a work in progress for you?
(Solomon, in response at first, simply smirks. Like he knows something that everyone else doesn’t, and he wants to keep it under wraps until the time is right.)
Solomon Stane: You’ll find out soon enough.
(Solomon leaves it at that as silence is heard. Michael shrugs his shoulders before he goes onto ask his next question.)
Michael Belfort: Well, we could do for a change of scenery this time around. Tonight you will be main eventing Friday Night Dynasty against EAW Hall of Famer and frankly force of nature in the form of Scott Diamond, who is making his return to in-ring action. I’d like to possibly get your thoughts on the matter?
Solomon Stane: I said all I needed to say this week, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel the need to reiterate it as well. This is no doubt a huge opportunity, and a chance to get a big victory under my belt, one that will do wonders for my career. I told him straight up that I don’t need this victory, but I sure as hell want this victory and I will do absolutely anything I can to make sure that it happens. I’ve met a lot of people backstage that have asked me if I have any doubts about beating Scott, and of course I don’t. Until it happens, I have every right to be confident when it comes to my chances and when the time comes that I do beat him? It’ll be then that I send a message to the entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling and become, as you said, a force of nature. Someone to be reckoned with around here. It’s not just that for me though, it’s not just facing Scott, it’s not just fighting for the Unified Tag Team Championships, there are still opportunities out there to be seized and goddammit I will seize them. Which is why I’m announcing right now that next week I will be entering the Grand Rampage match as a solo competitor. All for a shot at a Pain For Pride XV main event World Championship match. Once again, the chances are slim, but after everything I’ve talked about today, what the fuck is new? If there are odds I plan to defy them, and if the 29 other people in that match have something to say about it? Well then, they’ll have to say it to my face-
(Solomon stops in the middle of what he’s saying as his eyes catch something out of the frame. The camera begins to pan over to reveal ‘The Barbaric Carnivore’ Terry Chambers as the crowd roars into thunderous cheers in response as well. He was the first Dynasty Elitist announced into the Grand Rampage match and surely it pleases him to hear another one of his own added to the equation. He crosses his arms before beginning to speak towards him.)
Terry Chambers: It’s about time one of you boys stepped up… I was beginning to think everybody on this brand decided to skip the year after I announced myself into the match. Maybe because they know they stand no chance against me. Glad to see one person has balls out of everyone else… or maybe even a death wish.
Solomon Stane: Oh Terry, of course you’d want to think that. Trying to make us allured by your sheer presence when frankly, there is nothing to fear when it comes to you. For the past few months you’ve been trying to make people believe otherwise regarding what I said, shit I think the past few months you’ve been trying to make yourself believe that. I’ve done my research, I’ve caught up on the Terry Chambers lore and his abysmal run leading into this Season. I know how badly you dropped the ball and how, despite everything you do, you might not be able to recover from such a fall. Now you step into the Grand Rampage match, pushing all the uncertainty aside due to an elimination in your past that happened in seconds hoping you can get a victory that seems unattainable. Say what you want about me Terry, but at least I don’t bear that sort of embarrassment weighing you down and eating you alive week by week. So hey, along with the last time you were in the ring with me, I consider that a win in my book.
Terry Chambers: Talk about my prior failures all you want there is no doubt I have accomplished more in a Season than you ever could in your career. If I let those shortcomings get to my head, all nearly nine years of pain and agony… I wouldn’t be here right now, easy as that. Paint this narrative of me being a shell of my former self all you want, it’s something that I’ve heard before over and over again. And you know what happens? I always manage to shatter that preconceived notion and come out on top one way or another. It may take days, weeks, or months, but I get there alright. I’ve slain bigger and badder than you and I know what it takes to be at the top of the mountain. Meanwhile you have barely scratched the surface of this business yet you want to act like you’re a starter when you’re just a bench warmer. I wish you all the luck kid, but that really isn’t going to get you anywhere.
Solomon Stane: I guess we’ll see next week right? Grand Rampage, you and I. We’ll see who gets the last laugh.
Terry Chambers: We truly will… and it will be me.
(The two of them have a stare off before Terry turns around and begins to make his way out of the scene, leaving Solomon by himself seeing as Michael has already cowered away from the scene at hand. He stares off into the distance watching where Terry was walking away from as he shakes his head before walking away in the opposite direction. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition over.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is New Era Classic’s Block A Match is scheduled for….
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Sugar We’re Going Down’ by Fall Out Boy begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show Harley Lewis making his way out from the backstage area and towards the stage. He has an arrogant smirk on his face as he looks around before posing at the center of the stage, tossing the sunglasses he has on away before making his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM!!.. WEIGHING AT 185 POUNDS… HE IS THE HEARTTHROB OF EAW!!.. HARLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LEWISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Here comes Harley Lewis, the man who leads the A Block tournament, and tonight, he got a match with Oliver Taylor to determine who will be advancing to the semi-finals, and let’s see how this will turn out. Because in order for Harley to lose, Oliver will have to win this match by submission-
Jake Mercer: Speaking of Harley, what makes him become ‘The Heartthrob Of EAW’?
Flannery McCoy: Uhhh… His vintage fashion statement?
Stew-O: You should ask him yourself… on your own time…
Jake Mercer: Sorry.
( Harley arrives in the ring as ‘England Belongs To Me ‘ by Cock Sparrer replaces Harley’s theme music as Oliver Taylor makes his way to the ring. He has a no-nonsense expression on his face as he stares straight at the ring, making his way down the ramp not wasting much time as he does so.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT FROM LONDON, ENGLAND… WEIGHING 265 POUNDS… HE’S THE ENGLISH MASKED HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLER!!!.. OLIVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!.. TAYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Two British men are about to crash at each other tonight. It’s odd to me when I saw a masked heavyweight wrestler; I don’t know why.
Stew-O: Besides that, Oliver has been doing great so far in this tournament but let’s see, would he be able to stop Harley Lewis from a victory here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: We have no idea, but I think Oliver can do this!
( DING DING DING!!! )
Jake Mercer: Annnnd the match is underway. Two British men are in the same ring and about to go at each other. HARLEY MEETS OLIVER WITH A QUICK DROPKICK AND SENDS HIS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! OLIVER ROLLS UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING. HARLEY KIPS BACK TO BOTH FEET, RUNS, AND TAKES OLIVER OUT WITH THE TOPE CON HILO!!!
Stew-O: HARLEY PICKS OLIVER BACK TO BOTH FEET AND SENDS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING. HARLEY HOPS UP TO THE APRON, AND OLIVER TRIES TO GET HIMSELF BACK TO THIS MATCH. HARLEY JUMPS UPON THE TOP ROPE AND TAKEDOWNS OLIVER WITH A SPRINGBOARD METEORA!!!- BUT OLIVER DUCKS UNDER, AND HARLEY ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET. HARLEY TURNS AROUND TO OLIVER, BUT OLIVER QUICKLY CATCHES HIM AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A CHOKESLAM!!!! HARLEY FLIPS OFF THE MOVE AND LANDS ON BOTH FEET, THEN STUNS OLIVER WITH A BICYCLE KICK RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE!! HARLEY CONNECTS WITH AN AXE KICK, THEN FULLY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF OLIVER’S SKUL!!
Jake Mercer: WHAT A COMBINATION!! OLIVER IS DOWN, BUT HARLEY ISN’T. HARLEY RUNS UPON OLIVER’S BODY AND LANDS ON HIS GUT WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! DO YOU THINK THAT’S IT? NOPE, HARLEY GETS AWAY FROM OLIVER, JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE, TURNS AROUND, AND SPIKES OLIVER’S POTBELLY WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!!! HARLEY HOOKS OLIVER’S LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Close! Oliver Taylor kicks out! HARLEY SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT AND PICKS OLIVER BACK TO HIS FEET. HARLEY RIGHT HOOKS TO HIS GUT AND PUTS HIM IN A DDT POSITION. OLIVER USES HIS RIGHT ARM TO ELBOWS HARLEY’S GUT. HE TWISTS HARLEY’S ARM AROUND, GOES BEHIND HARLEY, AND SENDS HIM UP TO THE AIR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! HARLEY LANDS ON HIS FEET!!! HE LANDS ON BOTH FEET! HE RUNS UP TO OLIVER, BUT OLIVER TURNS AROUND, CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO HARLEY’S GUT, AND QUICKLY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX!!!
Stew-O: HARLEY IS DOWN, BUT OLIVER STILL GOT HIM IN A POSITION. OLIVER HOLDS HIM IN A SUPLEX POSITION, GETS BACK TO BOTH FEET, AND LOOKS FOR A BRAINBUSTER THIS TIME, AND HE HITS IT!!!
Jake Mercer: THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO TAKE HARLEY DOWN, AND OLIVER SHOULD PUT MORE WORK INTO THIS. OLIVER LOOKS AROUND BEFORE PICKING HARLEY BACK TO HIS FEET AGAIN. HE PUTS HARLEY ON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE GLIMPSES FOR A FIREMAN’S CARRY SLAM, BUT HARLEY FIGHTS OUT OF IT AND SITS ON HIS SHOULDERS, THEN BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A REVERSE HURRICANRANA!!! OLIVER IS DOWN TO HIS KNEES. HARLEY BACKS UP TO HIS FEET, RUNS AT HIM AT FULL SPEED, AND ROCKS HIS CHEST WITH A PENALTY KICK!!!
Flannery McCoy: HARLEY SNATCHES OLIVER BACK TO BOTH FEET, SENDS HIM TO THE CORNER, AND RUNS AT HIM, BUT OLIVER CATCHES HARLEY OFF GUARD WITH A KICK RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE. HARLEY HOPS TO THE SECOND ROPE AND LOOKS FOR ‘ENGLISH MASKED DESTROYER’!!! FLIP PILEDRIVER OFF THE SECOND, BUT HARLEY CAPTURES OLIVER IN MID-AIR WITH A CRESCENT KICK! OLIVER IS DOWN, AND HARLEY QUICKLY PICKS HIM UP AND NAILS OLIVER WITH A BELLY-TO-BACK PILEDRIVER IN HIS FASHION!!! HARLEY HOOKS HIS LEG FOR A WIN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: OLIVER KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! HARLEY GOES BEHIND, PULLS HIM BACK BY HIS PANT, AND LANDS OLIVER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! OLIVER LANDS ON HIS FEET AND QUICKLY BRINGS HARLEY DOWN WITH AN ENGLISH SLAM!!-
Jake Mercer: HARLEY STRUGGLES OUT OF IT AND PUSHES OLIVER TO THE ROPE. OLIVER BOUNCES OFF THE ROPE BACK TO HARLEY. HARLEY CATCHES OLIVER WITH A HIGH KNEE, BUT OLIVER CATCHES HIS LEG, TURNS HARLEY AROUND, AND PUTS HARLEY DOWN WITH A PUMPHANDLE HALF NELSON DRIVER!!! THAT’S HIS SIGNATURE!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HARLEY LEWIS KICKS OUT!!!
Stew-O: OLIVER SHOWS THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE HIMSELF UP TO HARLEY IN THIS MATCH AND TELLS PEOPLE WHY HE CAN BE A STAR IN THIS COMPANY. OLIVER LOOKS AROUND AND PICKS HIM BACK TO BOTH FEET. HARLEY IS ALSO A STAR OF DYNASTY, AND IF HE WINS TONIGHT, HE’S GOING TO MAKE HIS WAY TO THE FINAL ROUND AND FACE THE REST OF THE COMPETITORS. OLIVER HOISTS HIM UP IN THE AIR AND CATCHES HIM INTO A FALLAWAY SLAM! HARLEY LANDS HIS BACK DOWN NEXT TO HIS LEFT FOOT AND ROLLS OLIVER UP FOR A WIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING!!!!!!!! )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL WITH TWO POINTS!!… HARLEY LEWIS!!!
( ‘Sugar We’re Going Down by Fall Out Boy plays as Harley Lewis rises back to both feet and raises his hands as the winner of this match.)
Stew-O: There you go, Ladies and Gentlemen. Harley Lewis is the winner of this bout. Oliver did great in this match, so I give him that too.
Jake Mercer: Yessir, Big British men crashed at each other tonight, but there is only one who can win this, and your winner, Harley Lewis. Congrats, Harley Lewis.
Flannery McCoy: I can’t wait to see what Harley will bring to the table at Grand Rampage this year! He has been doing fantastic in this tournament, but would he be able to do it in the final round? We have no clue but to wait for the outcome.
( The commentators make note of Harley’s impressive performance tonight; his win means that the winner of Block A has been determined and that “The British Playboy” will be moving on to the semi-finals of the New Era Classic! Harley rolls off of Oliver Taylor, who in turn rolls out of the ring and recovers at ringside. This was a battle of the Englishmen on tonight’s Dynasty and as Harley Lewis predicted, Manchester is triumphant! Harley raises his hands high, although the reaction from the crowd in attendance in Madison Square Garden is anything but supportive! “The Ultimate Influencer” takes a moment to compose himself, instead of vacating the ring he walks over to the edge of it and leans over the top rope, gesturing for a microphone from ringside! Once his request is granted, Harley briefly checks on Oliver Taylor, who has managed to stand up at ringside and is in the process of walking back up the entrance ramp. After the 6’0’’ London-born wrestler is nowhere in sight, Harley chuckles to himself and begins to address the energized crowd situated inside one of the most famous arenas of all time! )
Harley Lewis: Imagine my shock that everything I said this week has come to pass. Oliver Taylor pissed on my name, where I come from and the brand that I represent. I warned him that I talk the talk and I back it up in this ring, tonight I proved that. I proved that Harley Lewis isn’t like the rest and I showed that I am the heat-seeking missile locked on to winning the New Era Classic! When it comes to little-old Oliver, I want each of you here to remember tonight when he inevitably shows his face again and acts like this never happened. I want you to recognize that he talked all of that smack and was so certain he was better than me. But the fact of the matter is I am better looking than him, I have more influence than him and I’m a better wrestler too!
Harley Lewis: What I am is the complete package. I’ve got the talent and the star power, I know how to take a microphone and weave magic. This tournament was set up for someone like me to take its horns and ride it out. I’ve proven that so far, I might’ve suffered the occasional losses against men and women who have tenfold the experience that I have. But Harley Lewis never stays down for long and I showed that tonight. I’ve shown that by finishing at the top of Block A and I am going to show that when I win in the semi-finals and win in the finals too! I’m putting names like Roberto De La Rosa, McCall Everett, and especially Oliver Taylor in the rear view, because I’m much better than they are, I’m destined to surpass all of their careers combined.
( The crowd isn’t enthusiastic about Harley’s boasting. While it’s impressive he can cut such a promo following a hard-fought battle, his mannerisms and pompous attitude aren’t going over well with the New York-based crowd on this occasion. )
Harley Lewis: Speaking of, let’s have a who-is-who of those names. Those people who I could meet on my path to becoming the winner of the New Era Classic. There’s Cloud Stryfe and Aurora Monroe from Block C; Joso and ARIA are fighting a little bit later too and they’re each in the running to win their block, finally, there’s Caroline who has already won Block B. All these names are talented, they’re all deserving of getting to the semi-finals and maybe even the grand finale and fighting for the opportunity to win. But it’s their similarities that I find interesting, for they’re all statement pieces, statements waiting to be made. It doesn’t matter which of them I end up facing in the semi-final because none of them are on my level inside this ring, none of them are going to bring to this promotion what I can, and that’s why when—
( Harley’s words are cut off as ‘Sweet Caroline’ blasts through the P.A. system. Accompanied by Dr. Bethany Blue it’s none other than the winner of the B Block, Caroline! The crowd cheers the young blonde woman as well as the reigning Empress of Elite, as they make their way down to the ring through the famed Madison Square Garden! Bethany is composed and has a half-hearted smile illustrating her features, while Caroline seems a little in awe of the arena. The two women get into the ring, with Caroline encouraging the crowd and bouncing around like a playful puppy as Bethany fetches the bubbly wrestler a microphone. )
Caroline: OhMyGosh OhMyGosh OhMyGoshhh! Harley, like, I know. Like. I know you’re in the middle of something but like, this is Madison Square Garden! I just have to take a second and soak all of this in you know? Did you think you’d ever be wrestling, winning, and talking inside of the most famous arena on earth when you were wrestling in Manchester and stuff? This is just absolutely bonkers and it reaffirms to me that being in Elite Answers Wrestling is totally like the step I needed to take for me. I mean I’ve got Bethany Blue of all women rooting for me! And I’m going to walk into Pain for Pride in two-or-so months from now and totally rock it! And I know people don’t really take me seriously now but when I’ve won the New—
Harley Lewis: Woah, woah. Chill out there, bimbo. Look, I get it. Someone with a brain your size can’t comprehend all this. Yeah, it’s cool being here, in front of these people. But making moments like this is just what I do. Harley Lewis is a star, an influencer, a phenomenon! So while you might be drooling thinking about coming out here, for me? It’s just another week of checking boxes and picking up wins. As for you, winning the New Era Classic? Hah! Don’t make me laugh now. Yeah, you’ve done well so far, you’re playing the underdog status well, but—
Caroline: Wait, make you laugh? But I didn’t even tell a joke or anything… I mean I can, but you’re probably exhausted from beating Oliver Taylor right? I’m just happy to be here, I’m super confident in myself, and Bethany is super confident in me, that I’m going to continue upsetting the odds and I’m gonna win this whole thing! I know it’s hard to believe, but like, if you told me when I signed my contract with this company that I’d even have a chance? That I’d have someone like Bethany rooting for me? That I’d be in Madison Square Garden of all places? I’d have totally called you a liar and all that! So you might not believe in me, that’s cool! I’m going to do my best and work super-duper hard to kick butt, take names and take home the NEC!
Harley Lewis: Do you actually hear yourself, right now, Caroline? Do you really think this happy-go-lucky attitude, big dreams with sunshine and rainbows is going to take you from being a cheerleader in Kentucky to winning on the grandest stage in professional wrestling? All of this believe, succeed and achieve crap. There’s a difference between having big dreams, then having the skills and the drive to go out and achieve them. I’ll say this slowly so that you can get it through your dense little head, you’re never going to win the New Era Classic!
( Before Caroline can respond, both she and Harley are interrupted. ‘Trophies’ by Drake plays through the Garden and now it’s Joso’s turn to edge into the proceedings! Joso is dressed to compete tonight, as his match with ARIA is minutes away! Joso makes a slow descent down to the ring before stepping up the steel steps. He receives a somewhat mixed appreciation from the crowd here tonight. Joso gets into the ring, Caroline clapping enthusiastically while Harley Lewis rolls his eyes. Joso gets right into the middle of the ring, a confident smile on his lips. )
Joso: Look, I’m fine with the back-and-forth, stoking the flames. I get the mind-games and self-hype but at the same time, y’all can’t save this for backstage? I get talking, I know a lot of this game is about talk. You have to do what’s necessary to grab the cameras. But I’ve got a match to get to right now, I’ve got to perform in front of these people. It’s great that the two of you have your places sealed in the semi-finals, but I’ve still got to seal mine. I’m facing ARIA and the anticipation is building inside of me. That’s a big match, I just want to get into this shit so I can get into the zone and have another headline moment, a performance that people will be talking about for years to come. Harley, Caroline, you guys are preventing that. With all of this talk that won’t even matter in the long run, because it won’t be a “Sweet” win for you Caroline, and the New Era Classic won’t be won by a “Playboy,” that shit is mine, I’m going to win!
( Jesus on the cross, it’s becoming comical at this point. ARIA is out now! ‘Destiny’ by Saori Yoshida plays through the sound system as ARIA walks out. ARIA has a microphone in hand and she begins to address the people in the ring, specifically Joso, as well as the crowd in Madison Square Garden! )
ARIA: Do you really believe that, Joso? Do you really think that I’m just going to roll over and play dead and that your match against me is a certainty? All week you’ve been digging at the bottom of the barrel, saying some truthfully horrid things about me and the people that I surround myself with. You’ve gone for the low-hanging fruit over and over, I think it’s because you know if you took me head-on, addressed me face-to-face, you’d realize that I’m better than you in that ring and I’m going to accomplish more than you could ever hope to! But I do agree with you on one thing Joso, and that’s the fact we need to stop waiting around. Because I’m going to get into that ring and beat the shit out of you, and there is nothing you can do that’ll prevent me from winning tonight, then beating whoever I got to in the semi-finals, and then taking home the New Era Classic and proving all of you wrong!
( ARIA enters the ring and the whole thing implodes. Not the ring, but the four combatants are all talking over one another and drowning out each other’s points. The crowd are watching on alongside Dr. Bethany Blue, whose head slowly falls into her hands. With time, Harley Lewis realizes that the entire thing is pointless, that he’s won tonight, made his point, and arguing with the rest of them will just lower his IQ points. Caroline too realizes there’s little upside to remaining in what has descended into pure chaos. A couple of moments following Harley’s retreat, Caroline follows suit. This leaves Joso and ARIA in the ring, who are keen to drop their microphones and for the bell to ring. With a referee entering the fold, the deciding bout for Block D in the New Era Classic is about to get underway, ARIA and Joso backing into their corners. )
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And after a hectic back and forth we are officially underway as this Block D match to finally settle the score is underway! Joso! ARIA! The winner of this match wins the entire Block and advances to the semifinals at Grand Rampage! The crowd is on their feet right now as the two of them look around, despite their vigorous encounter just moments ago, they can’t help but soak in the atmosphere of Madison Square Garden. How far they’ve gone in this tournament is a testament to their strengths and abilities, and now they finally get to see if it was worth it tonight on Friday Night Dynasty! Both Joso and ARIA begin to make their way around the ring, scouting the competition and knowing that both of them are going to take a lot to keep down! They make their way towards the center of the ring as they look to lock up- BUT ARIA SLIDES UNDER JOSO AND GETS BEHIND HIM!
Flannery McCoy: ARIA toying around with Joso as it’s clear that he is not happy in response to that right now. But her face goes cold as she drops down and plunges at the legs of Joso attempting to take him down to the mat, knowing that this is a very important match that she doesn’t really have much room to breathe in! But Joso manages to drop down on top of ARIA and lock in a headlock on her! Joso wrenches at her neck, before grabbing the arm of ARIA who is managing to roll herself back up to her feet slowly, barely managing to position herself behind Joso, BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND GOING FOR A BIG GERMAN SUPLEX-
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO LANDS ON HIS FEET BEFORE SLIDING DOWNWARD CONNECTING WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE LEG OF ARIA WHO FALLS ONTO HER BACK! But before she can be down for long it’s ARIA that uses that momentum to bring her legs up and wrap them around the head of Joso, SWINGING AROUND AND THROWING JOSO UP INTO THE AIR AND SENDING HIM PROPLELLING AND RAGDOLLING ONTO HIS BACK! ARIA is right back up to her feet as Joso, despite the pain that must be running through him right now, rolls back up to his back and gets back into the action whilst the two of them are looking to square up once more after a thrilling back-and-forth to start this one!
Stew-O: The lockup finally commences in this matchup! The two of them are jockeying for position as right now it’s ARIA that begins to push Joso towards the corner, managing to show some surprising strength against Joso right now. She manages to push him into the corner as the referee makes his way over and instantly begins to force the break, in which ARIA agrees to immediately taking a step back- BUT JOSO GRABS ARIA BY THE HEAD AND TRADES PLACES WITH HER AS HE PUSHES HER INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! Now it’s Joso that begins to absolutely unload on her with rapid-fire punches towards her head, the disrespect is showing but Joso knows that’s just going to be what it takes if he wants to get ahead in this match! Joso then grabs ARIA and throws her towards the center of the ring, turning around and setting her up… BEFORE GOING FOR A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HER FLYING ACROSS THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Joso makes his way towards ARIA, BEFORE LOCKING IN A CROSSFACE- BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN IT’S ARIA THAT MANAGES TO ROLL THROUGH! ARIA REVERSES THE HOLD INTO AN ABDOMINAL STRETCH BEFORE FALLING BACKWARD ONTO THE MAT AND TRANSITIONING INTO A PINFALL ATTEMPT!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRREEEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT NO! KICKOUT FROM JOSO! ARIA nearly had him there with that creative submission into pinning combination, but clearly it wasn’t enough as Joso knew better than to succumb to something like that, this match continues onward. Joso pushes himself back up to his feet, but it’s ARIA that steps forward and begins to hammer away at him with no time wasted! She’s brutally targeting that arm and wrenching him back down to his knees, before pulling at that shoulder forcing Joso to cry out in pain! ARIA continues to hold on tightly making sure that she has the upperhand, but it’s Joso that manages to break free and fight back here tonight as he shoves away and gets back up! ARIA stumbles backward and steps forward, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE! ARIA is staggering in the air, WHILST JOSO GOES UNDER AND CONNECTS WITH A LEG SWEEP THIS TIME DROPPING ARIA AGAINST THE ROPES! Joso is back up, and look at this disrespect as he now begins to choke ARIA out against the ropes! The referee makes his way over and forces the break- But not before Joso slaps ARIA against the back of the head for good measure!
Jake Mercer: ARIA can’t help but be displeased by that as she gets back up to her feet and turns around- ONLY TO BE MET WITH A LARIAT TO THE HEAD BY JOSO WHICH TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Joso is heating up now, beginning to mount some momentum in his favor which he’ll need to keep for the entirety of this match if he’s looking to win. He grabs ARIA and brings her back up to her feet, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAPMARE WHICH THEN LEADS TO HIM CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING KNEE DROP INTO A SOMERSAULT ROLL WHICH KNOCKS DOWN ARIA ONCE AGAIN! ARIA turns around and crawls towards the corner for her next course of action, realizing that the situation she’s in right now is not one she wants to be in as she props herself up into a seated position- ONLY FOR JOSO TO RUN FORWARD AND DRIVE HIS BOOT RIGHT INTO HER FACE!
Stew-O: ARIA wastes no time sliding out of the ring, but Joso is relentless as he slides out of the ring himself and begins to make his way towards her as she rests on the barricade for a moment. Joso lands a punch before grabbing her by the face, AND SLAMMING HER AGAINST THE BARRICADE! Joso then grabs ARIA and rolls her back into the ring before he slides in himself- BUT ARIA WAS PLAYING POSSUM AS SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND SPIKES JOSO’S HEAD DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A DDT! ARIA isn’t done there as she sets Joso up, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING HIM WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT! ARIA HOOKS THE LEG FROM THERE GOING FOR A PIN!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO POWER OUT, SHOOTING THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! ARIA is right back up though as she can understand why that wasn’t enough, though she turns around and grabs Joso by the head before bringing him up. Now she begins to absolutely hammer away with repeated forearms towards the face of Joso! Joso is stunned but tries to fend off to the best of his ability, ONLY FOR ARIA TO STRIKE HIM WITH A KICK TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HIM DOWN TO A CRAWLING POSITION! ARIA then turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Joso continues to persist as he gets back up, BUT ARIA RUNS TO THE ROPES AGAIN AND GOES FOR ANOTHER BASEMENT DROPKICK FOR GOOD MEASURE-
Jake Mercer: But Joso manages to roll out of the way of that just in time before getting back up to his feet at the same time as ARIA, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Joso isn’t done though as he grabs ARIA and sends her towards the ropes with an Irish whip, GRABBING HER BEFORE GOING FOR A SPANISH FLY- BUT ARIA MANAGES TO FEND THOSE OFF WITH BRUTAL ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Joso is forced to let go as he stumbles back, but runs forward- ONLY TO BE MET WITH THE ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’! CUTTER DROPS JOSO DOWN TO THE MAT WHILST ARIA ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! The frustration is beginning to build for ARIA but she keeps herself composed regardless as she brings herself back up to her feet. ARIA now climbs up to the top rope, as she seems to be going for something big right now looking to nail Joso and possibly finish the job while she has the chance right about now. Joso is still down and clutching at his head on the canvas, primed for the taking and ARIA knows that as she stands perched on the top rope, READY TO FLY! WHAT COULD SHE BE GOING FOR RIGHT HERE?!
Flannery McCoy: SHE’S LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR ‘2TF’! THE SPIRAL TAP TO JOSO!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! ARIA crashes hard on the canvas but gets up, ONLY FOR JOSO TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! Joso then grabs ARIA…BEFORE POPPING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A BRAINBUSTER THIS TIME! Joso is waiting for ARIA to get back up- BUT IT’S ARIA THAT TAKES JOSO DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! This allows both competitors to scramble up to their feet at the same time-
Stew-O: AS ARIA GOES FOR ‘J4A’! THE KNEE STRIKE TO THE SKULL OF JOSO TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT FOR GOOD AND FINISHING THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE TURNING ARIA AROUND AND PLANTING HER WITH ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’! THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS DRIVING ARIA’S HEAD DOWN TO THE MAT AS JOSO ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG! FOR THE WIN! COULD THIS BE IT???
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Trophies’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as Joso pulls himself off of the body of ARIA and brings himself up onto a knee. He has his arms on his hips as he looks around with the biggest grin in the world on his face. From there, he begins to make his way up to his feet, an exhausted look on his face as the referee makes his way over as well and raises his arm in victory. From there, Joso then begins to celebrate his victory with pride.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: And this match is officially over! Let me just say what a war that we’ve just gotten the chance to witness here tonight. These two knew that they had to win this if they wanted to advance to the semi-finals of the New Era Classic Tournament at Grand Rampage. But in the end, they knew that both of them couldn’t have come out on top, there was only room for one of them.
Flannery McCoy: And that goes to Joso who absolutely dominated his Block and now has the chance to win it all. Could we see Joso keep his wave of momentum and conquer the entire tournament? Or will his luck run dry when the time comes? That’s something that we are yet to find out. Until then? Congratulations to Joso!
(Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition towards the backstage area of Madison Square Garden. The camera is situated inside the office of a familiar face as the crowd roars instantly spotting who it is. It is then revealed to be none other than Dynasty General Manager StarrStan who is seen seated behind his desk on an office chair. He’s minding his business, doing General Manager duties and ultimately soaking in the peace and quiet which is a rarity especially in his line of work. It’s abnormally quiet quite frankly, but Starr doesn’t care, instead, he smiles knowing that he might not get a chance like this again knowing the taxing job of being a General Manager. He gives a relieving sigh before leaning back in his chair, all before…)
(BANG!)
StarrStan: HOLY SH-
(Starr nearly falls out of his chair yet, despite that, manages to keep himself up as he scrambles up to his feet. The camera pans over to the door to show two figures walking in after kicking it wide open, with the crowd giving a mild reaction upon seeing the infamous duo. King of Elite and EAW Interwire Champion Andre Walker, alongside Albert Hitchman, is seen as the two of them begin to approach Starr who looks surprised more than intimidated. Andre adjusts the Interwire Championship around his waist before crossing his arms while Albert steps forward, raising an eyebrow as he plants his hands out in front of him on Starr’s desk.)
Albert Hitchman: StarrStan, we had a deal.
StarrStan: Oh, uh… did we…? I’m sorry there’s been a lot going on, do you mind jogging my memory???
(Albert sighs and leans further forward, rubbing his temple in frustration before bringing his head up.)
Albert Hitchman: You and I had a discussion with one another last week to talk about a course of action regarding the actions of Scott Diamond two weeks ago. That display of absolutely atrocious blasphemy is someone that you and I agreed was unacceptable. Do you remember that?
StarrStan: Well I definitely didn’t agree in calling it an “atrocious blasphemy”… but everything else yes, please continue.
Albert Hitchman: It was then and there that we agreed on the repercussions for Scott Diamond, and in my opinion they were very generous. If Andre Walker had his way it would be much worse. Now, do you mind telling me what that agreement was? Or have you suddenly forgotten that as well?
StarrStan: Oh no, I definitely remember that. You and I agreed that Scott would be suspended and barred from showing up to the arena-
Albert Hitchman: EXACTLY SO. Now, would you like to explain this???
(Albert takes a piece of paper out from his suit pocket and slams it down onto the table. Starr slowly takes it into his hand before unfolding it and looking at it. He looks confused, simply because what Albert gave him was a copy of the Friday Night Dynasty card for this week. Despite that, he looks up and smiles.)
StarrStan: I’d like to say I did a great job this week as well thank you very much. :wow:
Albert Hitchman: Of course your inept surface-level thinking would only lead you to stroke your ego. Look at your main event, Solomon Stane… versus SCOTT DIAMOND. Someone who is meant to be suspended on YOUR show??? You sure have a lot of explaining to do, and if you don’t? Well, right about now… I wouldn’t want to be you StarrStan.
(Andre and Starr make eye contact for the slightest of a second before Starr brings his full attention back over to Albert. He knows Andre hasn’t been short when it comes to threat towards him, Christmastime being a prime example when he brought back Ronn Banks to satisfy his need for more formidable foes. One wrong move and he could find himself on the wrong end of something he doesn’t want to me on, and he knows that.)
StarrStan: Well if you let me finish the terms of our agreement, which you should be very aware of unless you forgot… Scott is suspended from showing up UNLESS he is booked in a match. As soon as that was announced, I got a call from him demanding a match on Dynasty, and lo and behold… there he is. So as far as I’m concerned Albert? I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m still in agreement with your terms, and we can all go about our lives now, thank you.
(Albert is despondent. As mentioned last week, Andre and Albert considered Scott to be the type of person to never wrestle on a weekly show. Saving his performance for a Free-Per-View more than anything else. But it seems like Scott, alongside Starr as a matter of fact, managed to bend the terms as far as they could.)
Albert Hitchman: This was NOT a part of the plan…
(Albert thinks for a moment what he can say in response, but before he can, Andre holds out his hand and places it onto the chest of Albert, gently pushing him backward and putting the Interwire Champion into the forefront instead. Andre brings his hand over and pats it on his Championship, before bringing his head up and looking at Starr who seems as calm as ever in the face of danger.)
Andre Walker: I take exception to Scott showing up on my show… getting handed a main event match… and bypassing the suspension…
(Andre bows his head down and takes a deep breath, letting everything happening at the moment sink in as his face scrunches for the slightest of a second. He then brings his head back up to look at Starr again, before turning his head to Albert.)
Andre Walker: I’m going to handle this.
(Andre adjusts his Championship again before turning around, promptly making his way out of StarrStan’s office as soon as he states his damning threat. His final words linger into the air for a moment as Albert, looking around frankly timidly, begins to follow Andre out of the scene as the door slams shut. The last shot seen is Starr sitting back into his chair, taking a deep breath as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena as the camera focuses on Stephie Love who is standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a BLOCK B MATCH IN THE ICONIC CUP TOURNAMENT! And it is a bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Dolla Sign Slime (ft. Megan Thee Stallion)’ by Lil Nas X begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show Serenity Valdez arrogantly strutting out from the backstage area and towards the stage. She has a smirk on her face as she mouths some trash talk towards the camera before spreading her arms out, taking a twirl before she then begins to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first…. from Tijuana, Mexico… weighing in at 126 pounds… ‘LA REINA’… SERRRRRRRENITYYYY VALDEZZZZZ!!!
Stew-O: I’d like to say that things are going pretty well for Serenity in the Iconic Cup Tournament so far. She has participated in two matches against Kristen Myers and Usagi Senshi, and in both she has managed to come out with her hand raised in victory. Tonight she looks to keep that wave of momentum going for herself, but that might not be the easiest thing seeing who she’s up against tonight.
Flannery McCoy: It hasn’t stopped her before and I don’t think it will stop her again. Serenity is looking to keep that momentum going and bring it home for Dynasty, and right now, along with many others in the tournament, she seems to be on the fast track to victory. But we’ll just have to see for herself as tonight she is put to the test.
Jake Mercer: La Reina 😍😍😍 ALL HAIL! ALL HAIL! HEAR THEE HEAR THEE!!!
(‘Diva’ by Beyoncé then begins to play up to the crowd’s loud cheering as the camera goes over to show Candice Blair begin to make her way out from the backstage area and towards the stage. She has a confident expression on her face as she looks straight towards the ring, pacing around before then beginning to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there, ready for action.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from San Francisco, California… weighing in at 126 pounds… ‘THE HOT COMMODITY’… CAAAAAANDDIICCCEEE BLAIIRRRRRR AVAAAAA!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well Candice has certainly been in dismay this week, and it’s nothing regarding the Iconic Cup Tournament. Apparently, her best friend Danny Tanner has gone missing after the… well, interesting… situation that unfolded on Super Voltage last week. Candice has stated that she’s doing everything she can to look for him, but by the looks of things, she’s ended up empty handed.
Flannery McCoy: But what she also said is the fact that Danny would want her to focus on the Iconic Cup Tournament, so that’s what her goal is right now, making sure that she comes out victorious. Candice has shown that she is going to do everything and anything to make sure that happens, and I wouldn’t put it past her. Who knows, we might see Candice rack up some well-needed points here tonight in the tournament.
Jake Mercer: I joined Candice’s live stream a few days ago and let me just say that it is enough to make a grown man cry. Truly emotional and I hope she finds Danny sooner rather than later. :mjcry:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go, the bell has rung and we are officially underway in this matchup. Both of these Elitists are hungry for some points in the Iconic Cup Tournament and are going to stop at nothing until they get their way. Both of them make their way towards the center of the ring as the two of them lock up into a quick collar-and-elbow tie-up! Candice wastes absolutely no time grabbing Serenity by the head and taking her down to the mat with a Snapmare! Serenity is stunned momentarily, and that’s something that gives Candice enough time to go downward and swoop forward locking in a Headlock on a seated Serenity! Serenity struggles to get out as she reaches out and tries to escape, but she isn’t going down that easily as she begins to show signs of beginning to fight back against Candice in the hold!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity with all of her might manages to bring herself back up to her feet while Candice is doing everything she can to bring her back down. But right now things are not going Candice’s way as Serenity begins to elbow her repeatedly in the abdomen trying to get her to release the hold! Which she is successful in doing as Candice retreats away before she can do anymore harm! But that doesn’t stop her either as she retaliates instantly, LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF SERENITY TAKING HER RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS! CANDICE GOING FOR AN EARLY COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Jake Mercer: BUT SERENITY WITH A QUICK KICK OUT! She was not planning to lose to a mere Dropkick no matter how good Candice could’ve made it with her offense. That doesn’t mean she isn’t going to stay on the attack though as Candice steps forward and begins to stomp away at Serenity repeatedly who is taking further damage but is desperately trying to fend it off as well! Serenity begins to crawl towards the corner now, desperate in retreat- ONLY FOR CANDICE TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Serenity is dazed as now Candice continues to stomp down on her while she’s backed into the corner! Taking the opportunity while she can to make sure that Serenity is weakened!
Stew-O: But Serenity manages to grab her boot as she shoves it away allowing her to get back up to her feet! And now Serenity Valdez suddenly leaps off the ropes towards Candice Blaie Ava! Serenity with a Hurricanrana throwing Candice all the way across the ring! Serenity with the desire to turn things around as both competitors back up to their feet and trade blows in the ring. Serenity! Candice! Serenity! Candice! Serenity! Candice! Serenity! Serenity! Serenity! Serenity has taken control! Serenity with a Spinning Wheel Kick sending Candice flying into the corner and she lights Candice up with a series of lightning fast kicks to the gut for good measure!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez whips Candice Blair Ava across the ring with immense speed before charging in with a sitting Lariat into the corner which just completely obliterates Candice! Serenity lifts Candice up to the top rope and charges in punching away at her. Serenity leaps into the air and she flies real high as she takes down Candice with a Super Hurricanrana from the top rope! Serenity with the cover as Candice may be done for!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: No! Candice Blair Ava gets the shoulder up just in the knick of time!!! Serenity Valdez looks annoyed that didn’t put Candice away but no time to get emotional. Serenity lifts Candice back up. But Candice immediately with a School Girl rollup out of nowhere!!! Candice trying to steal this one here!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez manages to kick out and if she was emotional before… well she is just flat out pissed now!!! Serenity immediately grabs the arm of Candice Blair Ava and transitions into a Cross Armbreaker! Serenity is looking to win this match by submission and get three whole points!!!
Flannery McCoy: But Candice Blair Ava manages to get her foot on the ropes! Serenity Valdez manages to break the hold after being forced to do so by the referee. Serenity drags Candice across the ring by the hair and lifts her up into a Suple-
Jake Mercer: No! Candice Blair Ava counters in midair turning the Suplex into a swinging DDT spiking the head of Serenity Valdez right into the mat! What elevation! And now the cover from Candice!!! It’s all over now!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez gets the shoulder up! It might have been by instinct and she looks completely out of it from that head trauma inflicted by Candice Blair Ava!!! Both competitors sprawled out on the mat from the damage done to each other. This is how much this New Era Classic means to both of these women. This is what the New Era is all about! Both competitors back up as Serenity immediately catches Candice in the gut with a running knee.
Flannery McCoy: HIT THE LIGHTS!!! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! SERENITY COVER!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SERRRRRRRRENITTTYYYYY VALDEZZZZZZ!!!
(‘Dolla Sign Slime (ft. Megan Thee Stallion)’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as Serenity Valdez pushes herself off of Candice Blair and begins to help herself up to her feet. The referee raises her arm high in the air as Serenity spreads her arms out with a smirk on her face clearly very pleased with her work here tonight. From there, Serenity then begins to celebrate her victory.)
Flannery McCoy: Big win for Serenity as she earns two more points for winning by pinfall. That continues her streak in the Iconic Cup tournament also making her 3-0, if that does make her a front runner for the tournament winner then I don’t know what will.
Jake Mercer: Great effort by Candice also. Despite the depressing matter of her best friend missing, she gave it her all, it just wasn’t enough in the end. But there are more than enough opportunities to go around in the Iconic Cup Tournament nonetheless.
Stew-O: I wonder who will win the whole thing! Could it be Serenity?!?!? Who knows, but it seems like there is a very good chance for that, and Serenity knows that very clearly. For now, the Iconic Cup Tournament pushes on and so does the Serenity Valdez agenda!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Sun Knight only on Disney+.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for..
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is an Iconic Cup Tournament Block A Match! Remember, a Pinfall victory will get you Two Points, a Submission victory gets you two, and in case of a draw, both competitors will get One Point!
(‘Queens Are Trumps’ by SCANDAL (JP) begins to blast throughout the Arena, as an explosion of boos..and cheers from her very own simps is given to Miku Sakai, who walks through the curtain looking as cocky as ever. She has a few interactions with the fans in attendance before rolling into the Ring and backing into her corner.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM FUKUI, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS…MIKU SAKAI!!!
Stew-O: Miku Sakai has had a good start in this Iconic Cup Tournament, and she looks to continue her momentum by beating Ximena Velasquez in this Block A Match!
Flannery McCoy: But that will definitely be a hard task for Miku, as there is a clear height and weight difference here, and there will be a huge advantage in the favor of Ximena!
Jake Mercer: I know this is off topic, but I just want to make it clear that I am not, and I repeat, NOT a simp for Miku Sakai!…:mjgrin:
(‘Queens Are Trumps’ fades away, as it is then replaced by ‘Recreant’ by Chelsea Grin as the boos turn into a roar of cheers, as XImena Velasquez then walks through the curtain! Looking very confident and focused, Ximena makes her way down to the Ring, eyeing down Miku Sakai. Ximena would enter the Ring, and back into her corner as ‘Recreant’ would slowly fade away after the ring announcement.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM EL PASO, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 180 POUNDS…’LA DIOSA’…XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BIG XIMENA!!! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Ximena Velasquez has been on an absolute roll as a late, and dominating this Iconic Cup Tournament, she will be hoping to beat Miku Sakai to not only further her momentum in the Tournament, but further her monteum for her Specialist Championship Match at Grand Rampage!
Stew-O: She has been in this heated rivalry with current Specialist Championship Harper Lee, but even with Harper who she has to await to face at Grand Rampage, Ximena should not take her eyes off Miku Sakai. Miku can steal a win at any moment.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: No time to waste as we get right into this Iconic Cup Tournament Block A Match, as Miku Sakai runs right at Ximena Velasquez, but it’s like she runs straight into a brick wall as Ximena just knocks her right down! Miku tries crawling away, but Ximena grabs her by the hair, pulling her back up..AND THROWS MIKU ACROSS THE RING AND INTO THE CORNER! THE IMPACT MIKU MADE WITH THE TURNBUCKLE AS SHE CRUMBLES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Miku Sakai tries to once again crawl away from Ximena Velasquez, but big Ximena stops her right in her tracks once again, pulling her back up to her feet as-…wait! Miku is able to get out of the grip quickly of Ximena, and she goes right in the ropes, forcing the Ref to hold Ximena back from Miku- AND MIKU CAPITALIZED AS SHE STOMPS ON THE FOOT OF XIMENA! And then she kicks Ximena right in the kneecap as it seems she is trying to get Ximena to go down. Miku starts throwing punches at Ximena, trying to weaken her, before running off the ropes- but Ximena clotheslines Miku right over the top rope! Miku crashes down to the outside!
Flannery McCoy: Miku is down on the floor, staring up at Ximena who stands tall in the ring! Miku is gonna have to strike harder and smarter in this match in order to get some work done. The referee waves Ximena over to the side so that Miku Sakai can return into the ring, but Miku gets up and just remains on the apron outside, yelling at Ximena Velasquez to come and fight her. Ximena dashes at Miku Sakai going for a big boot it seems- But Miku jumps down off the apron, and drags Ximena Velasquez head down and into the top rope in the process.
Stew-O: But it only sets Ximena Velasquez into a wobble, as she’s still on her feet. Miku Sakai now runs back into the ring and goes RIGHT INTO the back of Ximena’s knee with a chop block! Ximena Velasquez holds onto the ropes and catches herself, before then turning back around and hitting Miku in the jaw with a STIFF FOREARM STRIKE! Miku is down once again, and looks up at Ximena, who is standing so much taller than her.
Jake Mercer: Now Ximena grabs Miku Sakai by her hair and brings her right up to her feet and knees her right into the abdomen. And a second time! Ximena grabs Miku Sakai and Irish whips her into the ropes, but Miku holds on to the ropes. Ximena Velasquez dashes towards Miku, who moves off to the side, and Ximena Velasquez’s leg gets CAUGHT over the top rope! Looks like she was going for yet another big boot. AND NOW MIKU JUMPS ONTO THE BACK OF XIMENA, LOCKING IN A SLEEPER HOLD!! Ximena’s leg is still caught on the ropes though, and Miku Sakai is forced to let go soon after- BUT GOES BACK WITH ANOTHER CHOP BLOCK TO XIMENA’S OPPOSITE LEG!
Flannery McCoy: Very smart by Miku Sakai to keep on attacking the legs and lower body of her vertically grander opponent! Ximena now manages to get her leg off of the top rope and turns around in the process, BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO A BASEMENT DROPKICK BY MIKU SAKAI, WHO GOES STRAIGHT INTO XIMENA VELASQUEZ’S KNEE! Ximena FINALLY GETS KNOCKED DOWN, BUT ONLY TO A SINGLE KNEE! And now a huge kick by Miku Sakai right into the back of Ximena Velasquez- And to the back of the head!- And stomp after stomp after stomp to the leg that was caught so soon ago!!
Jake Mercer: Miku Sakai runs off of the ropes this time and goes behind Ximena Velasquez, and HITS A HUMONGOUS ELBOW STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD!! Ximena grabs onto her head and temporarily collapses, but catches herself yet again, trying to get back up, now onto a knee yet again, but this time the opposite one. There is no stopping Velasquez at all. Miku doesn’t seem too happy about that though and jumps right back onto the back of Ximena, and that sleeper hold is locked-in tight around Ximena’s throat!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez is trying to fight out of it, punching at the arms of Miku Sakai who tries to lock the hold in even tighter- Oh my god! Ximena manages to wrap her hand around the wrist of Miku Sakai and begins to slowly pull the sleeper hold’s grip away by releasing an arm of Miku- AND MIKU IS NOW BITING THE BACK OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ’S HEAD!! SHE IS INSANE! The referee quickly gets Miku Sakai to stop the illegal tactic and gets Miku Sakai away from Ximena, as the ref now goes to check on Ximena.. But what is Miku Sakai doing now?
Jake Mercer: I see what she’s doing! She’s removing the protection of the turnbuckle whilst the referee’s back is turned away in order to expose the pure metal! Smart move by- Uh oh.. But the referee turns around and catches Miku Sakai removing its protection. Miku is just yelling back at the ref now, who gets Miku Sakai away from turnbuckle in order to refasten the padding. And Miku Sakai walks away and pokes the eyes of Ximena Velasquez! – It was a plan all along! And now she’s just raking at her entire face and yelling at her opponent! She stops just before the ref can catch her this time. Ximena is holding onto the middle rope dazed, as Miku Sakai starts to stomp on her leg once again.
Flannery McCoy: What a strategy by Miku Sakai! Now she seems to be traveling to the outside of the ring, and stands on the apron and shakes the top rope. She’s calling for Ximena Velasquez to rise to her feet, she’s ready for an aerial move it seems. Miku Sakai jumps for that springboard flying forearm!- BUT SHE GETS CAUGHT BY Ximena WHO HOLDS MIKU IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY JUST BARELY!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ LIFTS MIKU DAKAI UP ABOVE HER SHOULDERS AND LANDS A GORILLA PRESS SLAM!!! But Ximena falls down as well, her legs are weak from the constant attacks already!
Stew-O: Both women are now down. Miku Sakai lifts her head up off the apron for a moment and looks at Ximena Velasquez, laughing! She knows that she’s in control right now; All that she has to do is keep going with what she has, but Ximena Velasquez just there proved that she can pop back up at any time with an unexpected move and shut everything out! Both women manage to get up in opposing corners of the ring staring at each other – Velasquez with pure rage, and Miku with an evil smile. Both competitors walk towards each other and meet in the middle of the ring, Ximena on a limp. Both are yelling back and forth at each other and Miku Sakai ends the war of words with a slap to the face of Ximena Velasquez!!.. With no effect..
Jake Mercer: Now I don’t think that was too smart on Miku’s end- OH GOD NOW WHAT A FOREARM STRIKE BY XIMENA TO MIKU SAKAI! IT JUST ECHOED ACROSS THE ENTIRE ARENA.. Miku Sakai tries to stumble away but Ximena grabs her by her hair and pulls her back in AND CLOBBERS MIKU WITH A DISCUSS CLOTHESLINE!! AND Ximena FALLS INTO THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!
ONNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND MIKU POWERS OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO! A look of hurt falls over the face of Miku Sakai as she lays on the mat, sprawled out from that brutal shot to the jaw. Ximena Velasquez pulls herself up to her feet via the ropes and walks back into the corner. She stares down at Miku’s lifeless body and then slowly begins an ascent to the top of the turnbuckle! Ximena Velasquez points to the sky with one hand and holds onto one of her legs with the other before leaping high into the air, going for an elbow drop- BUT MIKU SAKAI MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND CAPTURES THE ARM OF VELASQUEZ IN AN ARM BAR! WHAT A REVERSAL!! Ximena GOT CAUGHT AND IS NOW STUCK IN SUBMISSION ONCE AGAIN!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez is trying to make her way over to the bottom rope, but the pain seems to be way too much as she can’t push out the energy in order to make it nearly half way across the ring. Miku Sakai may have this match in the bag right now!.. But Ximena is now trying to LIFT UP Miku Sakai from off the mat- AND SHE’S DOING IT! But Miku Sakai lets go of the arm bar before Velasquez can arise completely. That is a great opening for Ximena either way because now she doesn’t have to worry about the pain of that arm bar or the pain of carrying Miku Sakai up on her weakened legs!
Jake Mercer: AND MIKU SAKAI POPS BACK UP INTO ACTION AND KNOCKS XIMENA VELASQUEZ RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A HUGE RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE!! NOW MIKU SAKAI IS GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!!
THHRR-
Jake Mercer: NO! It isn’t enough! Ximena Velasquez stays in it once again, surviving many submissions, and now a pinfall. Miku Sakai is smacking at the mat now in rage, and she gets up to fall right back down with a knee drop to Ximena, which lands right on her dome. Ximena Velasquez tries to sit up and get back to a stable base, but Miku Sakai just won’t let that happen, going back at it with unprotected kicks to the back of Ximena! Now she’s trying to drag Ximena Velasquez up to her feet by her hair. It looks like Miku Sakai has something in mind here.
Flannery McCoy: Clearly she does as Miku Sakai wraps Ximena Velasquez’s head underneath her right arm, running up the headrest turnbuckle trying to go for a Tornado-DDT- But Ximena holds Miku Sakai in the air and THROWS HER off and into the middle of the ring. Ximena now catches a much needed breather as Miku Sakai holds onto her arm, which she just landed on after being chucked away. Miku Sakai tries to get up to her feet but she falls over. Ximena could have locked in a massive win.
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez notices this and limps over Miku’s body- AND MIKU SAKAI WITH A SMALL PACKAGE. SHE WAS PLAYING OPOSSUM!
ONNEEE-
Stew-O: But Ximena Velasquez kicks out as quick as ever and gets right back up to her feet, grabbing Miku Sakai by the throat! This cannot be good. Ximena starts to pick Miku up in the air! Miku is hanging in a Chokeslam position, AND XIMENA GOES TO SLAM HER DOWN- WAIT WHAT THE HELL? MIKU IS BITING THE HEAD OF XIMENA!! XIMENA DROPS MIKU, AND MIKU GRABS XIMENA’S HAND, AND NOW SHE’S BITING HER HAND! XIMENA TRIES TO BACK AWAY-..’FEEL THY WRATH”! MIKU IS CLAWING AT THE EYES OF XIMENA! XIMENA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE! MIKU RUNS OFF THE ROPE AND GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE-…WAIT XIMENA GOT RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET! ‘PA’ LA RAZA’!!!! THE WESTERN LARIAT CONNECTS-
Jake Mercer: WAIT NO! MIKU WAS ABLE TO JUMP DOWN AND HIT A LOW DROPKICK TO THE KNEE OF XIMENA, AND SHE FALLS BACK DOWN! MIKU NOW RUNS OVER TO THE KNEELING XIMENA, AND SHE GRABS A HOLD OF HER, AS SHE THROWS HERSELF OVER…’DEATH NOTE’! THE ASAI DDT CONNECTS–WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE HELL? THE STRENGTH OF BIG SZN XV! XIMENA IS HOLDING MIKU RIGHT UP! MIKU IS UPSIDE DOWN IN THE AIR, AS XIMENA IS GETTING BACK UP TO HER FEET, MOVES FORWARD..AND DROPS MIKU WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX! Ximena’s strength has been too much for Miku in this Match, and it is clearly showing.
Flannery McCoy: Ximena Velasque is now getting back up to her feet, as Miku Sakai can be seen trying to crawl over to the ropes, but Ximena just laughs it off, kicking Miku’s foot away from the rope so she can’t get any leverage to get up! Miku starts to get back up herself, but Ximena grabs her by the hair, as Miku is flung back up to her feet- MIKU KICKS XIMENA IN THE KNEE- BUT SHE AIN’T FAZED- MIKU JUST RAN THE RAPS AND CAUGHT XIMENA WITH A JUMPING HIP ATTACK, BUT XIMENA STILL AIN’T FAZED! MAKI RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN-..
(CHOP!)
Stew-O: XIMENA JUST CHOPPED MIKU’S SOUL RIGHT OUT OF HER BODY!..BUT MIKU JUST GOT RIGHT BACK UP, AND ANOTHER CHOPBLOCK TO XIMENA! NOW MIKU IS JUST STOMPING DOWN ON THE BACK OF XIMENA’S KNEE! MORE AND MORE STOMPS AND XIMENA IS SCREAMING OUT IN UTTER PAIN! MIKU RUNS OFF THE ROPES..AND A JUMPING KNEE STOMP TO THE BACK OF XIMENA’S KNEE! Ximena’s knee has been targeted this whole Match by Miku Sakai, and I don’t think Ximena will be able to get back up to her feet any longer! Ximena is leaning against the ropes, as Miku runs off the other side..AND HITS A DIFFERENT VERSION, THIS ONE BEING IN THE ROPES OF THE ‘MUSTACHE RIDE’! THE BRONCO BUSTER CONNECTS AS XIMENA GOES DOWN AND MIKU IS SMILING-..
(As Miku Sakai is about to capitalize on a fallen Ximena Velasquez, out of the blue, Caroline would run down to the ring and start to pound on the mat, cheering for Ximena. Miku notices this, looking pissed as hell as she tries to shoo her away.)
Miku Sakai: (Off-Mic) WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE? GO THE FUCK AWAY!
Caroline: (Off-Mic) WOOOOOOOOOOO GO XIMENAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: THE CHEERLEADER IS CAUSING A DISTRACTION! MIKU IS TRYING TO FOCUS ON WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO TO MAKE SURE SHE BEATS XIMENA, BUT CAROLINE KEEPS DISTRACTING HER!
Caroline: (Off-Mic) GIVE ME AN X! GIVE MEAN I! GIVE ME AN M! GIVE ME AN E! GIVE ME A N! GIVE ME AN A! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL-
Miku Sakai: (Off-Mic) SHUT THE FUCK UP-
(As Miku Sakai turns away, Ximena Velasquez is already back up to her feet, and Miku freaks out, running right towards Ximena.)
Flannery McCoy: THE DISTRACTION WORKED AS XIMENA IS BACK UP TO HER FEET, BUT MIKU RUNS RIGHT AT HER- ANOTHER CHOP TO THE CHEST BY XIMENA! XIMENA PULLS MIKU UP TO HER FEET, AND INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION…’XV’!! THE ONE ARM POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND MIKU IS OUT! XIMENA VELASQUEZ GOES FOR A COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Caroline starts to walk away as ‘Recreant’ starts to blast throughout the Arena, Miku Sakai knocked the fuck out as Ximena Velasquez gets up and has her arm raised by the Referee as she celebrates her victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH…XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Stew-O: What a war that these two had gone through tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Miku Sakai had Ximena right where she wanted near the end, but the distraction of Caroline caused Miku to get hit with the one arm Powerbomb, giving Ximena the pinfall victory and earning herself two more points in the Tournament!
(Ximena continues to celebrate her win in the Ring over a down and out Miku, as the Camera fades away.)
(Friday Night Dynasty goes away from Madison Square Garden to a different area as “Bussin” by Nicki Minaj & Lil Baby is heard playing through a set of speakers, providing Diamond Dixon with the music to hype herself up for the star-studded lineup of guests she’s expecting for the evening. The set tonight is beautifully adorned with the familiar Diamond Dixon arrangements, but with a few new exceptions: considering the large number of guests she’s expecting this evening, she’s replaced her armchairs with a few velvet bar stools, but Diamond’s personal velvet-and-diamond-encrusted chaise remains in place. As the music continues, Diamond finds herself at the center of it all, shimmying off her fur cover up as she grabs a microphone from a stagehand, tossing the cover-up in the stagehand’s face in exchange. “Bussin” dies down fully before she starts to speak.)
Diamond Dixon: Welcome back to the Diamond District, y’all! With yours truly, DIAMOND DIXON! Yes, that’s right, ME, back on Friday Night Dynasty by popular demand! Your girl stays booked and busy. It’s starting to get pretty rare these days that we come across a week that I’m not on these cards, dishing out the hottest takes, latest news, and most invigorating exclusive content–if not that, you can find me beating on bum bitches like Cleopatra and putting these lame old ladies back in their place, but let me not get too far ahead of myself. As much as I KNOW this EAW Universe wants to hear about my in-ring success, I recognize that we have ourselves a job to do…unfortunately. Tonight, on the Diamond District, I’m diving head first into some more re-hashed and overdone conflicts and points of discussion with the women who will meet in the ring at Battle of Egypt in a Number One Contendership match for the Universal Women’s Championship in a Ladder Match!
(The audience in attendance pipes up with enthusiastic cheers at the mention of the No. 1 Contendership match that Diamond has just reminded them of. It is bound to be a match of the ages as some of the most iconic and impactful members of the EAW Women’s Division from various eras collide!)
Diamond Dixon: Yeah yeah yeah, I know. I don’t know what it is about these oldheads that get you people so fired up, but I won’t knock you for it! Or for boosting my ratings. If you like it, I love it. But we aaaallll know one thing’s for sure: it’s a damn shame Diamond Dixon won’t be in the ring with them. If there’s anybody out of any of these ladies–and I use that term loosely–on the ENTIRE EAW roster who deserves an opportunity at the Universal Women’s Title, it sure as hell shouldn’t be a choice between the top six underwhelming performers of the last fifteen years instead of the most electrifying member of the EAW women’s division. But oh well. I’ma still do my part to make sure that we keep it interesting! Introducing first…SHERIDAN MÜLLER!
(“Amerika” by Rammstein begins to play, but before Sheridan Müller can make it to her chair, “Party Goin’ Dumb” by Rico Nasty suddenly starts up, and Astraea Jordan pops onto the set with an excitable reaction from the crowd.)
Diamond Dixon: ASTRAEA JORDAN!
(Astraea proceeds toward her seat while Sheridan cautiously takes one of her own on one of Diamond’s six bar stools. Eventually, Astraea gets herself situated, exchanging an understanding nod with Sheridan and popping a squat in the stool next to her.)
(As Astraea’s music dies down, “Unfuckwithable” by Deez Nutz picks up, and the audience in attendance continue their chorus of cheers in excitement for Sienna Jade’s arrival. Sienna cooly steps out onto the set, smiling widely and soaking in the fan reception until “Monster” by Kanye West replaces “Unfuckwithable.” Wasting little to no time, Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade stoll side by side, Sienna as energetic and superfluous as always while Kassidy, more reserved, walks with intention towards their seats.)
Diamond Dixon: The Jaded Hearts: KASSIDY HEART and SIENNA JADE!
(Sienna and Kassidy leave two stools empty beside Astraea and Sheridan’s positions, and sit on the opposite side of the set. The Jaded Hearts take turns eyeing up the other participants of the Battle of Egypt exhibition and Diamond Dixon just before “Woo” by Rihanna begins to play, much to the surprise of the audience here tonight. Granted, Battle of Egypt is in no shape or form a tag team match, but as Sheridan stated just a few weeks ago, there is no doubt that Madison Kaline and Amber Keys intend to capitalize on their renewed partnership when the time comes. They make a statement here tonight arriving to the set here tonight as a unit, and the crowd is eating it up.)
(Amber and Madison walk closely together up the stairs and towards the main area of the room. And upon making their presence known in the spotlight, they seat themselves quite comfortably in the two middle stools left empty, as they are now seated in front of Diamond Dixon’s chaise directly.)
Diamond Dixon: Welcome, girlies! I’d say I’m happy to welcome y’all to the Diamond District, but then I’d be lying and I’m not trying to start off on the wrong foot tonight, so anyways! Sheridan! How about you kick things off for us tonight?
(The camera cuts to a close up of Sheridan Mϋller, twirling her microphone in hand as she raises an eyebrow. The crowd shares their excitement to hear a few words from German Efficiency herself.)
Diamond Dixon: I wanna revisit Super Voltage. And that snoozefest you wanna call a match against queen oldhead herself, the LEAST exciting “DD” in Elite Answers Wrestling: Amber Keys.
Amber Keys: 🙄
Diamond Dixon: Thoughts, Sher? 🎤
Sheridan Mϋller: What are you expecting to hear, Diamond? I’m not at all surprised that Cleopatra and Madison Kaline found themselves at ringside last week. It’s exactly as I predicted it would happen, and it’s the exact level of cowardice I’ve come to expect from women like Amber, Cleopatra, and Madison. Of course Amber was well-insured enough to think to use her friends to her advantage–except that this time, it wasn’t enough. While the match didn’t necessarily go in my favor, either, I’m still pleased to know that those bullies didn’t get their way last week. And we’ll all have plenty of time to revisit this incident come Battle of Egypt.
Diamond Dixon: Yeaaahhhhh…you’re welcome I guess. I mean, if it wasn’t for me and my partners at Grand Rampage, well, the Queen’s Court might’ve just gotten away with it, Sher. But for once, let’s not make this about me! I’m surprised to learn you actually got some brains, Sheridan. Hell, you were the one who realized just how unfair Battle of Egypt was likely going to turn out after you recognized that the Queen’s Court is no doubt going to use the numbers game to their advantage, and that the Jaded Hearts are probably not too shy to do the same if necessary. That’s why you approached Astraea on your own, isn’t it?
Sheridan Mϋller: You’re correct. Like I told Astraea last week, the alliances inside of this ring are too blatant to ignore, and it would be reckless of me or Astraea to walk into that match blindly without taking into consideration just how worse off I’d be if I didn’t cover my ass.
Diamond Dixon: I hear you. About as reckless as Astraea was her damn self when she had to beg StarrStan to put this match together in the first place.
Astraea Jordan: You said what? “Beg?” Girl, bye. I don’t ask for handouts from anyone, let’s get that cleared straight away.
Diamond Dixon: Hold on, hear me out! Maybe “beg” really isn’t the right word–maybe “demand” is more like it. But my point still stands that you were incredibly quick to jump on this opportunity as soon as it presented itself.
Astraea Jordan: And why shouldn’t I have, Diamond? I told y’all from the get go, that I came back to EAW for one thing and one thing only, and that’s to stake my claim and take what I deserve, and to make sure that all these girls understand that #AstraeaStillBetter, always was and I always will be. It’s been far too long since I had some EAW gold around my waist, and I’m gonna do whatever it takes to make my goals become a reality. I’ll gladly take all y’all on at once, shit, might as well be 5 on 1, and I’ll still come out on top. I’ll still do all that I have to in order to stake my claim, even if it is tussle with these bozos. I told StarrStan, too, that it didn’t matter to me at all who I ended up in the ring against when he decided to announce that lil’ ladder match. It could have been anybody else, and the outcome will always be the same. Fact of the matter is that when it comes to this here match, I’m the draw, I bring in the ratings, and that’s been proven and shown publicly. I’m the one everybody got their eye on and is banking on winning–and I have no intention of letting them down, either.
(As Astraea lowers the microphone, the audience in attendance gives her an encouraging pop.)
Diamond Dixon: Alright, Astraea, I hear you. I don’t think there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind that you’re capable of great things in this industry–but it really just boils down to whether or not you have it in you to unleash that potential. And to be quite honest with you, babes, I still think you have a lot of work to do and show us before we actually start to get behind you. Sure, it’s all fine and dandy when you pull off a win over some nobody like Ximena, but when we remember what your last match in EAW was looking like…well, it’s easy for us to remember just how futile your championship pursuits have turned out.
Sienna Jade: Oh! She’s talking about me! 🥰
Astraea Jordan: Yawn. No need to get all hype, Sienna, SZN 12 was a long time ago. I didn’t take the title off you then, sure, but we in the future now. And I’m waaay better than I ever was back then.
Sienna Jade: Oh, please. You were filling a quota then, and you’re filling another one now. You were swept to the side back then with a damn good reason, and it’s only a matter of time before you get lost in the shuffle yet again once another shiny new toy comes strutting along to tear that momentum from right out of your hands–who knows? Maybe this time around, I’ll get to send you packing straight back into obscurity all over again.
Diamond Dixon: Well, since you have so much to say, Sienna, let’s talk a little more about your EAW return!
Sienna Jade: Ahhhh yes! One of the most highly anticipated returns in recent history, if I do say so myself. Even more exciting is knowing that it won’t be long before I get my hands back on the Universal Women’s Title that *I* helped to usher in–
Astraea Jordan: If by “ushered in” you mean to have been the woman to allow a now disgraced name to capitalize off your name and legacy, sure, go off, I guess.
Sienna Jade: A mistake that was immediately rectified by Kassipoo, thank you very much. But I digress.
Diamond Dixon: And speaking of Kassidy Heart–correct me if I’m wrong, Sienna, but there was a fair bit of tension between you and your bestie last week once you both laid eyes on that World Championship.
Kassidy Heart: And what exactly are you getting at, Diamond?
Diamond Dixon: Look, I’m just saying. Sheridan had this, that, and the third to say regarding alliances going on inside of that ring once it comes to the match at Battle of Egypt, but be real. When it comes to a title, you two are probably the most selfish, cutthroat bitches in this business.
Sienna Jade: Wow, really? You mean it?!
Diamond Dixon: Of course! There’s not a damn thing either one of you WOULDN’T do to win, or hold onto, a championship belt.
Kassidy Heart: And that makes us any different from these four other women how, exactly?
Sienna Jade: Well, minus the fact that one of us has never held a world championship in her career before.
Astraea Jordan: 😒
Kassidy Heart: Oh, right, good point. I still see what you’re trying to do here, Diamond, and it’s not going to work. You’re trying to turn my and Sienna’s passion for this sport into a problem, as if that same passion is somehow going to get in my way when it comes to getting what I want.
Sienna Jade: Or stopping me from getting what I want, for that matter–
Kassidy Heart: Well, yes, but we can’t both be the number one contender, obvi. So, when I win at Battle of Egypt, it’s because I’m being fueled by that same passion, that same fire in my eyes that you saw when I got a glimpse of that Universal Women’s Championship title.
Sienna Jade: Exactly, Kassipoo–wait, huh? 🤨
Amber Keys: It’s comforting to know the two of you are in the same amount of denial today just as I remember you. Don’t get too comfortable with the idea that either one of you are getting anywhere near that Universal Women’s Championship. Or would you like another reminder of what it feels like to have your championship dreams ripped right out of your hands by the one and only Amber Keys?
Diamond Dixon: Damn, almost forgot you was here, Amber. And trust me when I tell you, that’s been kinda hard to do these days. Between you, Maddison, Cleopatra, and all these interferences and slick tactics over the last few weeks, it really does feel just like old times.
Madison Kaline: And they are good times, indeed.
Diamond Dixon: It’s funny, though, ‘cause it still seems that even after all this time, The Queen’s Court still can’t accomplish much on their own without somebody watching their back–you’ll find that evident in the beating I gave Cleopatra not too long ago. With neither you nor Maddie, Amber, to help clean up her mess…I guuuuessssss Cleo just couldn’t get the job done by herself, could she?
Sheridan Mϋller: Same goes for you, Amber. We all know had it not been for Cleopatra and Madison running to your aid, that your big return match on Super Voltage would have ended in you being laid out flat, embarrassed and ashamed that you thought returning to an EAW ring would be a good idea.
Amber Keys: Don’t you dare fucking talk to me like you own that ring, Sheridan. Even if it our match ended in a no contest–to no fault of my own, I assure you–I showed you all that I had intended to: that Amber Keys is still, to this day, a force to be reckoned with.
Diamond Dixon: Speaking of forces, you and DEDEDE were quite the force back in the day am I right?! Hope I’m not making it too awkward bringing that up, ya know–since all six of y’all on this stage right now all have some kind of tie to our beloved chairman, and AT LEAST three of you have fucked him. Which brings me to my next question for the Jaded Hearts, what’s it like sharing the same boyfriend? And hows it feel getting Amber’s sloppy seconds?
Kassidy Heart: I know what you’re trying to do here but let’s not get it confused, I don’t know about anybody else he’s been with but HE pursued ME. I wasn’t some thirsty bitch trying to leech off of the chairman for attention, and it became a mutually beneficial pairing and just like he’s the greatest thing to ever happen to me, I’m the greatest thing to ever happen to him as well. It’s not my fault that any of his exes didn’t know what they had at the time. 🤷♀️
Sienna Jade: Hold on a second. I don’t know what you or Diamond are trying to imply but first of all DEDEDE is not my ex, I NEVER had sexual relations with him. We talked for about two weeks before I decided Impact was more my type and that was the end of that. So sorry but I’m not the one settling for sloppy seconds here.
Kassidy Heart: And you’re saying I am?
Sienna Jade: That’s not what I’m saying but if the shoe fits–
Astraea Jordan: You’re saying that as if you’re not with HBG’s sloppy seconds.
Diamond Dixon and the rest of the crowd: Oooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Sienna Jade: You’re talking? Didn’t Malcolm kick you to the curb just for you to become a baby mama?
Diamond Dixon: Damn y’all are on one tonight! I haven’t seen Sienna this impressive in a back and forth since she beat Kassidy Heart at Pain for Pride!
Kassidy Heart(visibly annoyed): Please stop. I suffered an injury mid-match and still almost won.
Sienna Jade: I don’t think the injury had anything to do with me winning but that’s just me.
Madison Kaline: Awww look at the “sisters” fighting. But Queens Court are supposed to be the ones not on the same page? It seems like you two still have a lot to work out yourselves. You better figure it out in time or you’ll be in for a long night come Battle of Egypt.
Amber Keys: Well it’s not like they have any plans of actually reuniting as a team, those two selfish broads could never put their differences aside and mesh the way that we have and that’s why they can never be on the same page. I can’t help but wonder, who’s going to carry who this time?
Astraea Jordan: My guess is Kassidy will be doing the heavy lifting as always seeing as how Sienna ain’t shit but an inconsistent part timer these days who pops up when she needs a paycheck.
Sheridan Mϋller: I don’t know Astraea, it’ll depend on if Ryan Adams tells his pet dog to fetch or not. It’s not like she cares about women’s wrestling much anyways. She left this division hanging and she’s only back to suck the lifeblood out of this division like the vulture she is.
Sienna Jade: Part timer? That’s gold coming from the girl who’s only been booked in about two Dynasty matches despite being back for over three months.
Kassidy Heart: And me not caring about this division is especially gold coming from a girl who got traded to Dynasty back in 2017 because she thought she was too good for Empire only to end up losing every match. I can’t promise the whole division, but I’m definitely going to suck the lifeblood out of you after I maul you.
Diamond Dixon: Well good luck with that. Y’all not off the hook either Amber and Maddie. Let’s be real here, nobody believes you are going to co-exist. There is still a lot of bad blood and unfinished business between you two and y’all are literally only back together because of little ole me. But what happens when Diamond isn’t in the equation anymore and all that’s left to focus on is a world title? You definitely don’t love one another that much to put that aside for the world title especially knowing how much you both wanna prove individually. Wouldn’t be the first time one of you stabbed a partner, let alone one another, in the back.
Astraea Jordan & Sheridan Mϋller: :sas2:
Amber Keys: It’s true, her and I do have some unfinished business. But there is no denying the impact that The Queen’s Court has had on the entirety of EAW, especially paving the way for the Diamond Dixon’s of this company. We can put some petty disagreements aside to stand united once again and look towards a common goal. So nice try hun, but we know better than to let our emotions get the better of us. Try again and you’ll see how brutal we can get towards you.
Madison Kaline: Oh Amber, why wait? I think this little ordeal has gone on long enough if you ask me…
(Out of nowhere, Madison abruptly gets out of her chair, fed up with everything, and launches forward towards both Astraea and Sheridan out of pure disdain taking them out of their chairs! Madison slams multiple punches into the face of Sheridan whilst Amber quickly shoots out of her chair and joins the brawl helping out her Queen’s Court partner. Sienna and Kassidy, who can also agree that they’ve had enough of all of this, pop out of their seats and join the brawl as well. It leads to a huge six-woman brawl that can’t be contained as Diamond Dixon is seen slowly making her way out of her chair. She realizes that this is not a situation that she wants to be in right now. She has a week before she gets her hands on The Queen’s Court and would rather wait for that then find herself in a huge brawl with people that she doesn’t even need to concern herself with, Amber and Madison can wait. Immediately, Diamond slips out of the scene as the brawl continues between the rest of the women.)
(Kassidy and Sheridan are going at it, Sienna and Amber are going at it, Astraea and Madison are going to it. This is clearly getting out of hand quickly and is not going to end until there is one woman left standing out of them all! Kassidy throws Sheridan into a concrete wall, as she grits her teeth and launches forward before tackling ‘The Mauler’ down to the ground! Meanwhile Sienna and Amber continue to hammer away on one another, while Astraea is beginning to get the better of Madison who is slowly being forced downward to the ground! Amber manages to shove Sienna away, before grabbing one of the chairs and throwing it directly at her face taking her out!)
(Kassidy and Sheridan are rolling around on the ground as the two of them are throwing repeated punches at one another to no end trying to get the better of the other right now. They knock over lighting fixtures and push through chairs, only for Kassidy to grab a hold of the head of Sheridan and violently jut it up before slamming it against the wooden floor paneling! Kassidy then begins to get up, only for Astraea to grab Madison and send her barreling towards Kassidy as the two of them collide with one another and fall off of the stage! Astraea turns around trying to recover… only for Amber to run forward and cut her in half with a ‘Amber Alert’ Spear!)
(Amber Keys gets back up to her feet, running her hands through her hair as she blows loose strands away from her face. She looks around at the aftermath of the carnage seeing everyone down and in agony after the brawl, only smirking in response. She lets it all soak in, making a statement that she is the last one standing above all, before making her way off of the stage and helping Madison Kaline back up to her feet. The two of them then begin to make their way out of the scene as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena as the commentary booth shows Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, Jake Mercer, and an extra person joining them.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our guest on commentary, SOSA Henderson.
(SOSA sits and barely acknowledges them)
Flannery McCoy: Any reason you’re joining us?
SOSA Henderson: Just gettin a little closer look at my competition.
(“It Follows” by Cane Hill plays as Xander Payne makes his way to the ring. Xander doesn’t take his eyes off SOSS at the announce table.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!! INTRODYCING FIRST…FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA…WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS….XAANNDDEERR PAAYYYNNNEEE!!!!
Stew-O: You have to wonder if his concentration is all there because of SOSA being ringside tonight.
SOSA Henderson: :wtf: I’m just here to scout, nothing more.
(“Last Strike” by Polo G plays as Jon Kelton makes his way out to the ring with the New Breed Championship around his waist.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…..WEIGHING IN AT 208 POUNDS….HE IS THE REIGNING EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION….JOOONNN KEEELLLLTTTTTOOOOONNNNN!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The man who’s stock just keeps climbing each and every week, proving it even more so in this New Breed title reign. We saw what he was capable of a few weeks ago against a former World Champion, and has another chance tonight. Let’s see if he can pull it off.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And –
(The crowd roars as Alex Myers walks out. Jon Kelton doesn’t seem too happy as Alex has their hands up in innocence as he walks to the ringside area.)
Flannery McCoy: And now both Xander and Jon might not be at full concentration here. This match is off and running, as both look to lock up in the center of the ring…but Kelton hits a kick to the midsection, before hammering away at the back of Xander. But Xander responds back and delivers a hard uppercut to the jaw knocking Kelton back before he charges, and Xander hits a hip toss followed by a quick elbow drop to the heart! And, he turns his attention to us at the commentary table…
SOSA Henderson: Better stay focused on you opponent you fat bitch.
Flannery McCoy: Xander immediately turns around and mounts on top of Kelton, taking his frustration out raining down shots! BUT KELTON REVERSES IT AND NOW HE’S THE ONE HITTING STIFF SHOTS TO THE AS XANDER TRIES COVERING UP!
SOSA Henderson: I see you, don’t take his shit.
Stew-O: And now it’s Kelton who looks over to Alex at ringside while Alex slowly has their hands up in innocence. Kelton walks over and grabs Xander by the head, AND XANDER RUNS DRIVING JON KELTON BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER! XANDER PAYNE NOW HITS SEVERAL RIGHT HANDS DRIVING HIS FIST INTO THE FACE BEFORE KELTON FALLS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION, AND XANDERS DELIVERS SEVERAL KICKS BEFORE BACKING UP…AND HE RUNS AND DELIVERS THE CANNONBALL SENTON IN THE CORNER!! XANDER PULLS KELTON AWAY AND GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER IN THE MATCH!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
SOSA Henderson: Kelton kicks out! Xander’s fatass picks him up and then places him between the legs and picks him up…BUT OH SHIT, KELTON REVERSES THAT INTO A HURRICANRANA SENDING XANDER HEAD FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!
Jake Mercer: JON RUNS AND DELIVERS A FOREARM SHOT TO THE BACK OF XANDER’S HEAD, DELIVERING EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO HIS HEAD, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP ON THE TOP ROPE! KELTON CLIMBS UP HIGH WITH HIM FACING HIS BACK, AND HE TRIES GOING FOR A BACK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE, BUT XANDER USES HIS WEIGHT ADVANTAGE REFUSING TO LET IT HAPPEN! A BACK ELBOW SHOT FROM XANDER! AND KELTON COMES BACK WITH REPEATED SHOTS ON THE TOP OF XANDER’S SKULL! AND THIS TIME….THE BACK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE CONNECTS!!!
SOSA Henderson: HOLY SHIT! Props to the ring for not budging after that impact! Abd Jon crawls and makes the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Xander stays in the match! Now it’s Jon’s turn to think of what to do next in this match as he – Xander pushes him away before running toward him – BUT KELTON DROPS XANDER DOWN TO THE MAT AND HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN! XANDER SCREAMS IN PAIN AS KELTON APPLIES MAXIMUM PRESSURE HERE! XANDER TRIES REACHING OUT FOR THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM – BUT KELTON STOMPS ON HIS HAND SEVERAL TIMES! WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO?!
Stew-O: XANDER ROLLS AND AGAIN USES HIS WEIGHT ADVANTAGE AND HAS THE PIN – BUT KELTON KICKS OUT BEFORE THE REF COULD START COUNTING AND BOTH MEN RACE TO THEIR FEET…..AND XANDER GOES FOR A SPINNING LARIAT – BUT KELTON DUCKS IT AND PULLS XANDER IN BY THE ARM, AND HITS A RIPCORD KNEE TO THE FACE! KELTON PULLS THE STUNNED XANDER IN, AND HE’S GOING FOR “ANTI – LIFE EQUATION”!! THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT…
Flannery McCoy: BUT XANDER FIGHTS OUT OF IT BEFORE KEKTON WALKS INTO A SPINNING SIDE BACKBREAKER! Xander takes this time to recuperate and get back in this match before rolling away to the corner pulling himself up.
SOSA Henderson: Look how tired he is tho. :mjlol:
Stew-O: XANDER RUNS AND LOOKS TO GO FOR THE BOOT TO THE SIDE OF A KNEELED DOWN KELTON’S FACE – BUT KELTON AGAIN SIDESTEPS AND HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND CANDER THIS TIME SUCCESSFULLY HITS A SPINNING LARIAT AND TAKING OUR NEW BREED CHAMPION’S HEAD OFF! Xander stands and waits for Jon to rise up and turn around. He’s like a shark that smells blood in the water –
SOSA Henderson: Or that fat fuck living in the basement sensing dinner is almost ready. But anyway, Xander grabs ahold of Kelton…
Flannery McCoy: XANDER PICKS HIM UP, AND HE’S GOING FOR “RIPTIDE”! AND IT CONNECTS!! THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS AS XANDER QUICKLY HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER AND THE WIN!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!
Stew-O: KELTON GETS THE SHOULDER UP AS XANDER DOESN’T BELIEVE IT! Xander now – a kick to the midsection, BUT KELTON CATCHES THE LEG AND HITS THE DRAGON SCREW!! Kelton holds his head in some discomfort before stirring back to his feet looking to retake control in this match.
Flannery McCoy: AND KELTON RUNS AND TAKES DOWN XANDER WITH A SLINGBLADE!! KELTON LOOKS TO KEEP THE FLURRY GOING AS HE RUNS UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND OH…HE POINTS DOWN AT ALEX BELOW LOOKING AT HIM BEFORE JUMPING…AND HE HITS THE FROG SPLASH ON XANDER PAYNE!!

SOSA Henderson: God dammit!
Stew-O: THE KICKOUT FROM XANDER! And now Jon quickly pops back up to his feet before pulling Xander in once more – HE LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR “ANTI LIFE EQUATION” ONCE MORE!! HE HAS THE ARMS HOOKED, BUT XANDER IS STILL WIGGLING TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, AND…XANDER WITH A BACK BODY DROP SAVING HIMSELF!! Xander falls back into the corner catching his breath before seeing Jon is standing in the opposite corner and he charges –
Flannery McCoy: XANDER RUNS AND FLATTENS JON IN THE CORNER WITH A BODY SPLASH, AND THEN HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! Xander doesn’t go for the cover though as he looks to keep this flurry going….AND HE’S SETTING UP FOR “THE PAYNEKILLER!!” BUT NO!!! JOHN SPINS OUT OF IT, AND THEN DELIVER A SUPERKICK THAT STUNS XANDER BUT DOESN’T KNOCK HIM DOWN!! AND THEN JOB SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND HITS A ENZIGURI KICK TO THE HEAD!! XANDER MIGHT IN SERIOUS TROUBLE….
Stew-O: JON RIGHT AWAY TRANSITIONS INTO “ETHER!!!!!” THE ARMTRAPPED CROSSFACE!! LOCKED IN AS XANDER HAS NOWHERE TO GO IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! IS HE GOING TO TAP OUT AND IS JON GONNA GET THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER?! BUT XANDER OUT OF ADRENALINE IS SLOWLY DRAGGING HIMSELF TO THE ROPES! HE’S FINGERTIPS AWAY….BUT JON LETS GO AND DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, BUT BEFORE HE CAN LOCK IT IN AGAIN, XANDER KICKS JON AWAY BUYING HIMSELF A FEW SECONDS –
Jake Mercer: JON RUNS AND DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, BUT XANDER SIDESTEPS AT THE LAST SECOND!! AND XANDER CONNECTS WITH A NECKBREAKER TAKING DOWN JON AS BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AND TRY STIRRING TO THEIR FEET!
SOSA Henderson: Come on Jon, just put his ass away. OH SHIT, A FOREARM SHOT FROM XANDER, AND THEN ONE FROM KELTON!!
Stew-O: JON GOES FOR A HIGH KNEE TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE, BUT XSNDER HOLDS HIM HIGH…AND THEN SLAMS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT HEAD FIRST! XANDER…HE BEGIBS REPEATEDLY ATOMPING AMTHE LIFE OUT OF JON ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE REFEREE TRIES TO CREATE SOME SEPARATION! Xander moves the ref aside, and OH NO!!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

SOSA Henderson: YES – OH COME ON!! THAT’S SOME BULLSHIT!!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER JUST BARELY KICKS OUT BEFORE BOTH RISE TO THEIR FEET AND JON HITS A DROPKICK INTO THE CHEST DRIVING XANDER BACK INTO THE CORNER!! JON RUNS FROM THE OPPOSITE CORNER LOOKING FOR A SPLASH…BIT XANDER CATCHES HIM AND DELIVERS A VICIOUS SIDE SLAM! XANDER RUNS UP TO THE TOP ROPE NOW, AND XANDER HITS A SWABTON BOMB ON JON KELTON BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KELTON GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Xander quickly picks up Kelton, and then tosses him to the ropes…”THE LAST SEDATION!!!” BUT NO!!! KELTON IN MID AIR TRANSITIONS AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO XANDERS FACE DRIVING HIM BACKWARDS TO THE MAT!! KELTON ONCE MORE LOOKS OVER TO ALEX WHO HAS BARELY MOVED THIS MATCH, AND HE RUNS AT XANDER AGAIN….AND HE GRABS AHOLD OF THE HEAD….”AVADA KEDAVRA!!!” BUT XANDER PUSHES HIM BACK FIRST BEFORE KELTON TURNS AROUND…AND HE WALKS RIGHT INTO “OVERDOSE!!!” THE DISCUS PALM STRIKE OUT OF NOWHERE AS XANDER PAUNE GIES FOR THE COVER AND THE WIN!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEREEREEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KELTON KICKS OUT AGAIN!! Xander is in shock as he grabs ahold of the head and drives his fist repeatedly into the face! AND HE PICKS UP KELTON AND GOES FOR THE “PAYNEKILLER!!” BUT AGAIN KELTON FIGHTS OUT OF IT, AND HE HITS A SLAP RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE OF XANDER! THE DISRESPECT!!
SOSA Henderson: mjlol:!!!!
Stew-O: KELTON GRABS XANDER AND PULLS HIM DOWN BY THE HEAD, AND OH GOD, HE REPEATEDLY DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE FACE OF XANDER! BRUTAL!! XANDER IS BALANCING HIMSELF ON THE ROPES, BEFORE IN COMES KELTON, BUT XANDER SIDESTEPS SENDING HIM THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE, BUT HE HANGS ON, AND XANDER NOTICES AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES – AND HE SPEARS KELTON OUT TO THE GROUND!! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN AND OUT IN FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE NOW! AND UH OH!
(SOSA yanks his headset off as Xander gets in his face.)
Xander Payne (no mic): Come on, take a shot!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
(Inaudible dialogue is heard as SOSA and Xander go back and forth with one another.)
Flannery McCoy: OH NO!! WHILE XANDER WAS FOCUSED ON SOSA, KELTON FROM BEHIND HITS A SUPERKICK TO THE BSCK OF HIS HEAD CAUSING HIM TO FALL FORWARD TAKING OUT SOSA!!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Jake Mercer: BOTH SOSA AND XANDER ARE ON THE GROUND AS SOSA SHOVES HIM AWAY, AND ALEX MYERS JUST WATCHES ON FROM THE SIDE AS KELTON COMES EYE TO EYE WITH HIM NOW, BEFORE ENTERING THE RING!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Stew-O: SOSA AND XANDER STAND AND LOOK ANGRY WITH ONE ANOTHER LIKE THEY’RE ABOUT TO COME TO BLOWS! XANDER DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING INSIDE THE RING! XANDER!!!
NINE!
TEN!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER TURNS AROUND TO RUN BACK IN THE RING, BUT IT’S TOO LATE!!! XANDER PAYNE HAS BEEN COUNTED OUT IF THIS MATCH!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY A RESULT OF A COUNTOUT…..JOONNN KEELLTTOOONNN!!!!!
Stew-O: WOW!! A WIN IS A WIN AND HE JUST BEAT XANDER PAYNE!
(SOSA is laughing his ass off as Xander stands on the outside frozen in shock before turning to face him.)
Jake Mercer: Uhh, I think SOSA knew what he was doing right near the end of that match.
(Both SOSA and Xander begin rapidly exchanging shots with one another on the outside!)
Flannery McCoy: THEY’RE NOT WAITING UNTIL GRAND RAMPAGE!!!
Stew-O: IT LOOKS LIKE ALEX AND KELTON AINT WAITING EITHER AS THEY BOTH BEGIN BRAWLING INSIDE THE RING! ALEX KNOCKS KELTON OUT OF THE RING, AND THEY RUN OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES OUT JON WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!! IT’S ABSOLUTELY MADNESS OUT HERE AT RINGSIDE!!
Flannery McCoy: HERE COMES SECIRITY TO BREAK EVERYBODY UP! AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, THEY ARE FINALLY ABLE TO SEPARATE EVERYBODY!
SOSA Henderson (no mic): I’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEKEND YOU PUSSY!
(The final shot is of SOSA and Alex being led out while Xander and Kelton remain at ringside.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring people on Twitter debunking video of the smiling moon emoji rising above the South Pole.)
(“ULTRAnumb” by Blue Stahli begins to blast through the speakers as the crowd gives a standing ovation to Cameron Ella Ava, the challenger to the Universal Women’s Championship at Grand Rampage. She soaks in the reception of the crowd before making her way down the ramp, tagging some fans in the front row on her way.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…’THE GODDESS’ …CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Next weekend at Grand Rampage, Cameron Ella Ava will face Andrea Valentine for the Universal Women’s Championship. Andrea issued a challenge for any woman to step up to her and it was Cameron Ella Ava, who stepped up to the challenge to me, it was quite surprising, knowing that she went through a ‘Towering Inferno’ match at Dia Del Diablo.
Flannery McCoy: Honestly, it was surprising, but Cameron Ella Ava is keen on making sure that she ends up a champion in 2022. She really didn’t specify which championship, but it would be history in the making if Cameron adds the Universal Women’s Championship to her accolades. To be the first woman to win the Vixens Championship, Women’s World Championship, and Universal Women’s Championship. No one in the fifteen-year history of Elite Answers Wrestling has done that, but she’d be the first.
Jake Mercer: I can confirm that. But, Andrea Valentine is walking into a tough title defense. These two may respect each other and all that jazz, but it’s about the Universal Women’s Championship and whoever leaves Grand Rampage with the title will walk into the main event of Pain for Pride XV as the champion. That’s how huge this match is!
(The camera pans to Cameron Ella Ava already in the ring. She has a microphone in her grasp as her entrance music dies down. The crowd is heard cheering as Cameron begins her promo.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I’ve kept pretty quiet these past number of weeks, but I watched Andrea’s interview with Stew-O last week and I felt like I needed to respond to it – I made a vow to myself that I will be a champion in 2022. I want to have a reign as good as Camille had with the Universal Women’s Champion. We saw her elevate the championship to new heights, making it the focal point in women’s wrestling. She was an amazing champion, who stepped up to the plate and fought anyone, who wanted a piece of her and what she had. I’ve seen her work so hard in overcoming career-ending injuries, setbacks, and anything that would break the average woman and I’ve seen her come back stronger than before.
(The crowd applauds for Ms. Extreme as Cameron Ella Ava continues her promo.)
Cameron Ella Ava: What happened at King of Elite was something that I knew was going to happen to her – her ego would be her downfall, but it didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that. Camille knew that it was going to come down to that sooner or later, but the question was whether I was going to be the one standing across from her. I did tease back in November about coming after that Universal Women’s Championship because I’ve made it clear that this is the one championship that I need to collect to cement myself as ‘The Goddess of All Eras.’ I want to be the first woman to win the Vixens Championship, Women’s World Championship, and Universal Women’s Championship. I want to add another reason why Cameron Ella Ava is the greatest of all time – regardless of gender – and that no other man or woman is going to touch me inside the squared circle.
Cameron Ella Ava: During the interview, Andrea mentioned how she needed to push all of her thoughts and feelings about Camille to the side to win the Universal Women’s Championship. It didn’t matter that Camille was a great champion, a greater friend, and someone that she respected because that wasn’t going to give her the boost that she needed to dethrone Camille. While that’s nice and all, and not something that she’s going to deny the right for Andrea to boost about it, because Ms. Extreme is Ms. Extreme, Andrea is going to learn sooner than later that I am not Ms. Extreme. Hell, I’m not any of my sisters. I am Cameron Ella Ava. I am the greatest female competitor to ever grace this company. My name speaks for itself. I don’t need to bring up my extensive resume because everyone does that job for me. I don’t need to hype up anything because everyone else does that for me. I don’t need to tell Andrea that I am going to be the biggest challenge to date because deep down, she knows that. My legacy automatically means that I am going to be the challenge that Andrea desperately needs to push herself as the champion that I know she’s capable of. We’ve faced each other in the past, so I would think that she would know better than the overlook this challenge, but that match at Grand Rampage is going to serve as a reminder, hell, not just for her, but for everyone else and I really can’t see a better way of doing so than beating Andrea at Grand Rampage and adding the Universal Women’s Championship to my accolades.
(A mixed reception from the crowd is heard. It’s a mixed opinion on Cameron Ella Ava’s declaration to add the Universal Women’s Championship to her accolades, but Cameron really doesn’t seem to care and continues on.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Not only that, but I end up defeating a woman and getting my win back from Battle of Egypt back in 2020. That’s a tiny bonus, but not the main purpose of looking forward to this match-up. I always like going up against women, who give me the respect that I deserve. I always like going up against women, who aren’t going to be a waste of my time. I respect Andrea Valentine enough to want to step up and take her on. A ton of people have informed me that I’m crazy for pursuing another championship knowing how Dia Del Diablo went from me, but if I can go through the hell that I’ve gone through over the years, going after another championship after losing a World Championship match the week before, then, I can do this. A loss doesn’t take me back. A loss doesn’t deter me from my goals and Andrea is going to learn at Grand Rampage that you cannot stop a woman who has been through everything and that there is NO ONE who has more passion than Cameron Ella Ava. And Andrea, you’re going to learn very soon that I am not my sister –
(“Roll With Me” by Charli XCX begins to play through the speakers, cutting Cameron Ella Ava, who doesn’t look to be too happy about that but does her best to keep her composure. The crowd is totally on their feet, cheering their heads off for the Universal Women’s Champion, Andrea Valentine, who tags a few of the hands of the fans on her way to the ring. The title glistens underneath all of those lights.)
Jake Mercer: It seems like Andrea Valentine has a thing or two to say. While she did say that she said what she said during the contract signing, it seems like she’s going to personally tell Cameron Ella Ava how Grand Rampage is going to go and that’s with her STILL the Universal Women’s Champion.
Stew-O: We’re all familiar with the downward spiral that Andrea Valentine suffered last season, so, walking into Pain for Pride would be super important to her. It would be a chance for her to right the wrong the last time she was in the Pain for Pride main event.
Flannery McCoy: Of course. She’s very determined to get her way this time around and she’s not afraid to push any buttons in order to get what she wants. I think that’s what’s going to make Andrea dangerous this time around and that should put the rest of the women’s division on high alert because Andrea wants to keep that title for as long as she wants.
(Andrea Valentine is seen getting inside the ring as she gets a microphone handed to her by a timekeeper. Her entrance music dies down as she adjusts the Universal Women’s Championship on her shoulder. She has a bright smile on her face as the crowd is showering her with love and adoration.)
Andrea Valentine: I know that you’re not Camille, Cameron, regardless of that, I know that can beat the both of you. 💅🏻😌 I said from the very beginning that nothing was going to stop me from getting my way and anyone can rewind the tapes to see for themselves, especially you, Cameron. No matter how long it takes, no matter how tumulus, I will get there. I’ve stated my ambitions when it comes to Pain for Pride this year. I am going to walk into Pain for Pride as the Universal Women’s Champion and I am going to leave Pain for Pride as the Universal Women’s Champion. If that means that I have to get past Grand Rampage and look forward to what’s going to be next for me.
Andrea Valentine: Before I ‘kindly’ cut you off, you were talking about how you’ve been there everything, but when you were discussing you having more passion than anyone else, I had to stop you there because while I am not going to deny your passion, you need to realize that if there is someone who knows about passion, it’s going to be me. I’ve dealt with critics, telling me if I deserve this championship or not. I’ve dealt with people who doubt that I can continue to elevate this championship to the heights that Camille did. Even from all of that talk, I remain passionate about this sport and I know who the fuck I am. I’m the Universal Women’s Champion. I am the woman who is going to be pretty busy during Pain for Pride, but if there is anyone who is going to be able to handle that pressure, it’s going to be me. 😌 Cameron, I know who you are. I know what you’ve done for this business. There is always going to be a part of me that respects everything that you’ve done. At Grand Rampage, I need to put that respect in the back of my mind because it’s going to be *this* –
(Andrea Valentine pats the Universal Women’s Championship on her shoulder before continuing.)
Andrea Valentine: – that we’re going to be fighting for. The winner of this match will be heading into the main event of Pain for Pride. That’s going to be me. I am going to head into my second Pain for Pride main event, but the outcome is going to be what I want out of it and that’s me walking out with my World Championship reign intact. That’s going to be me overcoming the demon that leads me to have a downward spiral all Season 14. That’s overcoming the one thing that’s been in the back of my head and thanks to this Universal Women’s Champion, I have an opportunity to right the wrong and make sure that things go my way this time around. I understand your passion, Cameron, and how you want to legitimize yourself in this new era of Elite Answers Wrestling. Each year, you find a way to reinvent yourself and keep up with the times. It’s never old with you, but you’re going to need to understand that despite that, you’re not facing anyone.
Andrea Valentine: Now, the people you’ve had the chance to face on Showdown. The Adam Lucases, Limmy Monaghans, TLAs, Harper Lees, and Veena Adams are great and all, but none stack up compared to Andrea Valentine.
(Cameron Ella Ava forms a smirk at the corner of her lip.)
Cameron Ella Ava: And, none of the competition that you’ll come across – champion or not – will compare to Cameron Ella Ava, Andrea. Regardless of what happens, I am going to be the best opponent that you’ll be facing all year. There is going to be no one that can lace up my ring boots. There is going to be no man or woman who will be able to reach the status that I have reached and guess what? I’m still reaching. I’m still finding new goals. I’m still finding new things to accomplish and as always, I am looking for ways to test myself against some of the best Elitists that this company has to offer. It’s what I wanted to challenge you, Andrea. We’ve always had this mutual respect for each other. When put against an Ava, magic is created with you and I know that Grand Rampage is going to be a match to steal the show, but that Universal Women’s Champion is where it’s at with me. While you may not be content with a sole title defense against Madison Kaline, that’s what you’re going to need to settle with because I’m not coming to play at Grand Rampage.
Andrea Valentine: I have high expectations about this match and when you tell me that you’re not going into Grand Rampage to play, I expect no games. I’m not expecting the bullshit that Madison Kaline put me through leading up to Reckless Wiring. I’m expecting for two of the best to face each other for the most important World Championship in this company. There’s no doubt that we’re going to steal the show, but it’s more than that for me. I want to retain at Grand Rampage, I want to have my sights set at Pain for Pride and I want to walk into Pain for Pride as World Champion, and most importantly, I want to leave Pain for Pride as the World Champion. That’s the plan with me for this year. It’s what I have made clear since becoming champion and it’s not going to change.
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s the thing, Andrea – everyone’s got plans. You got plans. I got plans. But, what you need to realize is that everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth and that’s something that you’re going to find out in a week.
(Cameron Ella Ava drops the microphone as “ULTRAnumb” begins to blast through the speakers as she exits the ring. Andrea Valentine looks at Cameron Ella Ava walking back up the ramp. Cameron turns around as she has a staredown with Andrea, motioning the title on her waist.)
Flannery McCoy: Oop, that was a dark way to end the segment. I almost thought Andrea Valentine was going to get punched in the face.
Jake Mercer: It’s no bullshit with Cameron Ella Ava. She’s not going to play when it comes to a championship match. Although, this got me really excited about the Universal Women’s Championship match at Grand Rampage. I do believe that these women are going to put on an exciting match.
Stew-O: Two of the best females in the company are battling out? Will Andrea Valentine be walking into Pain for Pride as the Universal Women’s Champion? Or will Cameron Ella Ava cement herself as ‘The Goddess of All Eras?’ We find that out next weekend!
(A commercial is shown for Andrea Valentine versus Cameron Ella Ava for the Universal Women’s Championship at Grand Rampage.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break as the camera focuses on Stephie Love standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand, getting ready to announce the next match here tonight on Dynasty!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a TAG TEAM MATCH!!! And it is a bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Party Goin’ Dumb’ by Rico Nasty begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd roars into a mixed reaction mostly dominated by cheers. The camera goes over from the ring to the stage to show Astraea Jordan begin to strut out from the backstage area. She has her arms spread out with a smile on her face as she takes a twirl around. She nods her head looking around at the EAW Universe, before beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 165 pounds… ASTRAEA JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Amerika’ by Rammstein then begins to play up from there as the crowd reacts with the sound of boos upon seeing Sheridan Müller begin to make her way out to the stage. She has a no-nonsense, serious expression on her face as she cracks her knuckles and pops her neck. She doesn’t waste time with any sort of theatrics as from there she then begins to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her partner… from München, Deutschland… weighing in at 135 pounds… SHERIDAN MÜLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well we know what Sheridan and Astraea have been up to these past couple of weeks. Ever since Sheridan lended a hand to Astraea whilst she was being attacked by The Queen’s Court during a match, the two of them have realized they were the only ones on their own when it came to the Battle of Egypt ladder match. So you could say for the most part that there was an alliance created by the two of them.
Flannery McCoy: And now tonight they get to put it to the ultimate test, stepping into the ring against the best of the best when it comes to the tag division in hopes of proving themselves and building themselves up to be a formidable threat once Battle of Egypt rolls around. The two of them aren’t going to be so kind in this match, and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Jake Mercer: Let me just say, these interferences are getting REDUNDANT! We need something to SPICE this up… OH I KNOW! Three-on-two handicap match, Astraea and Sheridan going up against The Haircare Kings and their third man… JAKE MERCER! THAT would get the internet buzzing, don’t lie.
(‘Shake It’ by Metro Station then begins to play up as the crowd roars into thunderous cheers upon seeing both Jake Smith and Chris Elite make their way out to the stage. They hold their Unified Tag Team Championships in their hands as both of them raise them high in the air, with pyro shooting out behind them in an elaborate display. From there, both of them look towards one another with determination in their eyes as they make their way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… they are the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE… THE HAIRCARE KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Meanwhile The Haircare Kings have been met with their own respective issues these past few weeks. With Super Voltage not being the best time for them with Jake being pinned by Jack Ripley and Chris being eliminated from the Gold Rush Tournament by Minerva. There is no doubt that the two of them are stepping into this match looking to redeem themselves and that’s something that’s necessary heading into Battle of Egypt.
Flannery McCoy: The High Rollerz are not just any other tag team, the two of them are unforgiving machines and that’s something that Jake and Chris are going to have to combat. Not only that, but Solomon Stane as well who proves to be a formidable opponent alongside them. The Haircare Kings have their backs against the wall but they wouldn’t be in the position they’re in for nothing, so nonetheless, I bear a little bit of hope.
Jake Mercer: Why wouldn’t you??? THEY’RE MY BRETHREN! LOOK AT THEIR LUSCIOUS HAIR! My name twin and Chris have got this no doubt.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung and here we go, this highly-anticipated tag team matchup is officially underway! We have Jake Smith starting off for The Haircare Kings, and on the opposite side we have Sheridan Müller starting off for her team. The two of them begin to make their way out of the corner, and it seems like Jake is headed straight for the center of the ring… is he offering a handshake…? I never took Jake as someone who goes down the respect route mid-match, but I guess this is something new out of him here tonight on Dynasty.
Jake Mercer: Is my name twin insane??? That woman could bite his hand clean off! DON’T DO IT JAKE! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR-
Flannery McCoy: SHERIDAN JUST CONNECTED WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF JAKE AS SHE’S GIVEN HER RESPONSE TOWARDS HIM! Jake is taken aback while Sheridan grabs him by the arm and sends him into an Irish whip towards an empty corner, stepping back… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE OF A CORNERED JAKE! If he wasn’t stunned before he definitely is now, as Sheridan keeps him up before going absolutely ham with lefts and rights towards the face and body of Jake! Jake right now is trying his best to cover up, but it’s proving to be troublesome for him as Sheridan’s attack is too sporadic to predict! From there Sheridan brings him out of the corner, setting him up by grabbing him around the waist… AND LAUNCHING HIM UP IN THE AIR INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX WHICH SENDS JAKE TUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: This has definitely not gone the way Jake wanted it to as he brings himself back up, only for Sheridan to come forward and go for another forearm to the face- But before that can happen it’s Jake that manages to block the attack and shove it away! Sheridan stumbles back while this gives Jake a chance to get back up to his feet, BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO SHERIDAN’S FACE! Sheridan stumbles back, BUT RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO REBOUND- But Jake manages to duck under that before turning both himself and Sheridan around… BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A QUICK AND EASY NECKBREAKER! Sheridan sits up as Jake takes advantage of that and grabs her around the waist, BEFORE POPPING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Stew-O: BUT SHERIDAN MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET BEHIND JAKE! An unknowing Jake steps towards the center of the ring while Sheridan lurks in the background… GRABBING HIM AND GOING FOR A GERMAN OF HER OWN- BUT JAKE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE FORCING HER BACK! Jake keeps his back turned, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE- BUT SHERIDAN DUCKS UNDER THAT! Jake belly flops on the ground as the pain surges through his body while he gets back up to his feet. Sheridan grabbing from behind once again this time pushing Jake right into the turnbuckles! Sheridan holding out her hand while she keeps Jake pressed against the corner…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: ASTRAEA JORDAN IS TAGGED IN! Sheridan turns Jake around in the corner before sending him into an Irish whip… LEAVING ASTRAEA TO CATCH HIM AND LIFT HIM HIGH UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Jake tumbles down to the mat but instantly clutches onto the bottom rope to get himself up, he knows that this is a situation that he does not want to be in right now and he’s going to have to do everything he can to make sure he comes out of this one on his own two feet. But Astraea really doesn’t plan on letting that happen, AS SHE RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO SEND JAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE-
Jake Mercer: BUT JAKE MANAGES TO PULL THE TOP ROPE DOWN SENDING ASTRAEA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TOWARDS THE RINGSIDE! The talent! The versatility! That’s what Jake Smith is all about ladies and gentlemen! Astraea barely manages to keep herself upright as she falls against the barricade, ONLY FOR JAKE TO IMMEDIATELY SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AND CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Jake knows that this is the moment he needs as he grabs Astraea by her hair… BEFORE SLAMMING HER FACE FIRST ONTO THE APRON! Jake then enters into the ring and slides in himself, making his way over towards his corner…
(TAG!)
Stew-O: TAGGING IN CHRIS ELITE! Astraea is trying to recover at the moment the referee sees the tag, managing to get herself up to her feet and turning around towards her opponent… ONLY TO BE MET WITH CHRIS LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TAKING HER BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! Chris rolls back up to her feet before turning around, AND ROLLING FORWARD THIS TIME CRUSHING ASTRAEA WITH A BEAUTIFUL ROLLING THUNDER! Chris looks to keep the momentum going now as he clutches Astraea by the arm and sends her towards the ropes, with him running alongside the opposite side… BEFORE NAILING HER WITH AN ‘ALMIGHTY PUSH’! THE POUNCE SENDS HER TUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Astraea still continues to persist though as she heaves herself back up to her feet, only for Chris to make his way towards her as he grabs her by the head- But before he can bring her up its Astraea that throws some groggy punches towards the abdomen of Chris trying to force him backward! That’s something that she manages to do momentarily, UNTIL CHRIS STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH AN AXE HANDLE TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! Chris from there grabs Astraea in a front facelock before heaving her up to her feet… LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A SUPLEX ATTEMPT-
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR ASTRAEA TO LAND BEHIND HIM AND CONNECT WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! Chris drops down to a knee while Astraea steps in front of him and turns around, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Astraea then proceeds to transition as she sets him up… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ASTRAEA THEN TRANSITIONS INTO A QUICK PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Astraea pops right back up to her feet as she grabs Chris by the arm before tugging him up, AS SHE PULLS HIM IN AND DROPS HIM BACK DOWN INTO A SNAP SCOOP POWERSLAM! The power from Astraea Jordan is beginning to go on display tonight as Chris has certainly been left reeling in response to this sudden burst of offense. He knows that too, and makes it apparent beginning to roll out of the ring before anything else can happen to him. Chris clutches at his ribs and falls against the barricade, whilst Astraea drops down and rolls out of the ring making her way towards Chris- Only for Chris to step forward and connect with a back elbow to her face! Astraea is taken aback but begins to step forward- ONLY FOR CHRIS TO GRAB HER BY THE HEAD AND THROW HER INTO THE BARRICADE SPINEFIRST!
Flannery McCoy: Astraea tries to recover, ONLY FOR CHRIS TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! Chris from there grabs her by the head before rolling her back into the ring, climbing up onto the apron as he waits for her to get back up to her feet… BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE APRON AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE! But before that can connect it’s Astraea that manages to roll out of the way of that forcing Chris to land on his feet! Chris stumbles forward as he attempts to keep his balance, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE BY ASTRAEA JORDAN WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Astraea isn’t done though, grabbing a hold of Chris’ head while he’s stunned, BEFORE WHIPPING HIS HEAD BACK AND SLAMMING IT DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Astraea isn’t done as she takes a step back, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING A KNEE DROP DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD- But before that can happen it’s Chris that manages to roll out of the way of that one just in time! Astraea definitely did not expect to miss with that one as she gets back up- ONLY TO BE MET WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Chris isn’t done though, wasting zero time dropping down and mounting onto Astraea, raining down repeated punches towards her face as she’s left to defend to the best of her ability right now!
Jake Mercer: Astraea wastes zero time bringing her forearms up to block as she knows especially at the moment she’s going to have to stay on the defense against Chris Elite’s overwhelming offense! Chris lets go and gets back up to his feet before taking a around, AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH A MOONSAULT TO A GROUNDED ASTRAEA JORDAN! Chris isn’t done as he gets back up to his feet, AS HE LAUNCHES INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER MOONSAULT TO A GROUNDED ASTRAEA AGAIN JUST IN CASE! Chris stumbles backward as he uses this moment while Astraea is down on the ground to catch his breath and compose himself in this one. He shakes his head and waits for her to get back up to her feet… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A ‘OPEN YA MATA’ ATTEMPT! THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE IN HOPES OF GETTING ONE STEP CLOSER TO VICTORY FOR THE HAIRCARE KINGS!
Stew-O: BUT ASTRAEA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! She instead sends Chris into the corner, before waiting for him to stumble backward… GRABBING HIM FROM BEHIND AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Chris tumbles down to the ground, but begins to make his way up to a knee- ONLY TO BE SPLIT IN HALF BY A SPEAR! SPEAR BY ASTRAEA DROPS CHRIS DOWN TO THE GROUND AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Chris has been through the wringer in this match and has struggled to get back on top, but he simply refuses to give up and that’s made evident with the narrow kick out! Astraea doesn’t look all that satisfied though as she brings herself back up to her feet, grabbing Chris by the arm before sending him into her corner and beginning to make her way over, with Sheridan holding her hand out for the tag it seems like a better time than never to utilize the numbers to her advantage making sure that Chris can’t even catch eyes with Jake Smith in his corner!
TAG!
Jake Mercer: AS ASTRAEA TAGS IN SHERIDAN! Sheridan enters the ring as Astraea begins to pull Chris out of the corner and send him towards the ropes… AS THE TWO OF THEM LOOK TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH DUAL BACK ELBOWS- ONLY FOR CHRIS TO DUCK UNDER THEM! He quickly turns around on his heels as the two of them are left bewildered, ONLY FOR CHRIS TO RUN FORWARD AND TAKE THE TWO OF THEM DOWN WITH DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES! Astraea rolls out of the ring whilst Sheridan quickly gets back up to her feet, BUT IS ONLY MET WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST BY CHRIS ELITE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Chris is showing signs of life right now as he looks absolutely fired up at the moment, a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins as he begins to accumulate a second wind!
Stew-O: Sheridan stumbles back up, AS SHE ATTEMPTS A LARIAT- BUT CHRIS MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING SHERIDAN FROM BEHIND AND LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND INTO A BACK SUPLEX THIS TIME! Chris is still down on the ground but at the same time so is Sheridan, if there’s one thing that he knows he needs to do is get the tag to Jake so he can continue to preserve The Haircare Kings’ chances in this match. Chris stumbles up to his feet before clutching at the head of Sheridan and bringing her up as well, before sending her into an Irish whip towards his corner. He begins to make his way over as Jake more than ever is eager to get himself back into this match!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: WHICH HAPPENS AS JAKE IS TAGGED IN! Chris throws Sheridan down towards the center of the ring while Jake enters into the ring, STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE AS SHE’S SET UP TO FALL RIGHT INTO CHRIS AS HE UNWINDS HER AND CONNECTS WITH ‘OPEN YA MATA’! THE TANDEM ‘MATA MATA’ MOVE BY THE HAIRCARE KINGS CONNECTS AS SHERIDAN DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND JAKE HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT SHERIDAN MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE! Jake is right back up to his feet, and instantly he begins to stomp down on the body of Sheridan repeatedly! He’s trying to make sure that Sheridan is down and softened up so he can lead this match right to its finish. Jake grabs Sheridan by the arm before pulling him in, AND CONNECTING WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE TO DROP HER DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Jake then turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE THIS TIME TO TAKE SHERIDAN DOWN TO THE GROUND! Sheridan continues to push herself upward as Jake turns around again, GOING FOR ANOTHER KNEE-
Stew-O: BUT SHERIDAN MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GRABBING JAKE AROUND THE WAIST AND LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND BEFORE DROPPING HIM INTO A DRAGON SUPLEX! Jake tumbles down but rolls back up to a knee, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A KICK TO THE FACE- BUT JAKE MANAGES TO GRAB IT! Jake gets himself back up to his feet, GOING FOR A DRAGON SCREW- BUT SHERIDAN COUNTERS IT INTO AN ENZUIGIRI- WHICH JAKE DUCKS UNDER AND GOES FOR AN ANKLE LOCK- BUT SHERIDAN TURNS ONTO HER BACK AND BOOTS HIM AWAY! BOTH OF THEM GET BACK UP TO THEIR FEET…
Flannery McCoy: ONLY FOR SHERIDAN TO CONNECT WITH A PUMP KICK TO TAKE JAKE DOWN TO THE MAT! Sheridan from there brings Jake up and sends him towards the corner, running forward- BUT JAKE BOOTS HER IN THE FACE! Jake then grabs her by the head before trading spots with her, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE JAW FOR GOOD MEASURE! Jake then sends her towards the opposite pair of ropes, BUT SHERIDAN BOUNCES OFF OF THEM AND GOES FOR A LARIAT-
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR JAKE TO CONNECT WITH ‘BROKEN WINGS’ SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER WHICH DROPS SHERIDAN DOWN TO THE MAT! Jake grabbing Sheridan with all of his might and pushing her into the corner, stepping back and taking a moment to catch his breath. Jake stumbles towards Sheridan as Chris eagerly holds out his hand, he knows that the time has come and this is the chance that they need to finish this match for good!
TAG!
Stew-O: TAG TO CHRIS ELITE! Chris jumps into the ring at lightning fast speed knowing that the two of them are running out of time with every second that they waste, as Jake throws Sheridan down to the center of the ring and the two of them begin to anxiously wait in the corner whilst she attempts to get back up to her feet… THEY’RE GOING FOR ‘BOX OFFICE FINALE’! DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF SHERIDAN TO FINISH THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WAIT! IT’S THE HIGH ROLLERZ! BOTH JACK RIPLEY AND DAVID DAVIDSON HAVE JUMPED ONTO THE APRON ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE RING AS THE TWO OF THEM ARE YELLING AT JAKE AND CHRIS RIGHT NOW!
(The referee yells at both members of The High Rollerz trying to get them out of here, but they don’t seem to care as they’ve lured Jake and Chris into a verbal argument with the two of them, as they trade profanities and threats towards one another.)
Jake Mercer: This was definitely not something that the two of them really factored into this match, but after everything that has happened between the two teams, I really don’t know what you expect right now! There seems to be no end to this-
Stew-O: LOOK! ASTRAEA JUST SLID RIGHT INTO THE RING AND CONNECTED WITH A SPEAR TAKING JAKE DOWN TO THE CANVAS! JAKE IS DOWN WHILE ASTRAEA GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING! MEANWHILE CHRIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY PERPLEXED AS HE SEEMS CONFLICTED ABOUT WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW-
Flannery McCoy: SHERIDAN TURNS HIM AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’! RIPCORD LARIAT TO THE HEAD OF CHRIS ELITE TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! BUT SHERIDAN DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN, INSTEAD SHE GRABS CHRIS AND SENDS HIM TOWARDS HER CORNER…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: BEFORE TAGGING IN ASTRAEA! SHERIDAN THROWS CHRIS DOWN TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WHILE ASTRAEA BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE… LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND FINISHING IT OFF WITH ‘AIR JORDAN’! THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS AS ASTRAEA ROLLS CHRIS ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Party Goin’ Dumb’ begins to play up once again as Astraea Jordan pulls herself up to a kneeling position. Sheridan Müller makes her way towards her as the two of them look towards one another with confident and boastful expressions on their faces. Sheridan holds out her hand as Astraea accepts and pulls her up to her feet, while the referee makes his way over and raises their hands in victory from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners… the team of SHERIDAN MÜLLER AND ASTRAEA JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow, let me just say that I did not expect an ending like that. Both teams laid it all on the line here tonight as it was apparent that a win here on Dynasty was needed more than anything else. But in the end, it was The High Rollerz that turned the tides in this match as they put their hands into it and cost The Haircare Kings tonight.
Flannery McCoy: You’ll have to wonder how they’ll feel about it when they wake up, and most importantly how they’ll respond to it in the process. If this feud between the two teams wasn’t heating up already, well here we are right now. Nonetheless, we have to give credit where credit is due and congratulate Sheridan and Astraea on their victory!
(Jack Ripley and David Davidson begin to make their way up the ramp, the two of them laughing at Chris Elite and Jake Smith who are still down inside of the ring. The last shot seen is both Astraea and Sheridan on the top rope continuing to celebrate their victory as Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition away to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Grand Rampage match at Grand Rampage.)
(“Shadow of the Century Man” by Rob Zombie begins to blast through the speakers as the crowd gives a mixed ovation to Solomon Stane who has a calm, but focused look on his face. The man totally has a cool aura about him as the crowd totally digs that. He stands on top of the ramp as his wife, Trixie Stane, gives him a kiss before heading to the back, letting her husband go at this match by himself.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM THE CITY OF SIN…WEIGHING IN AT 266 POUNDS…HE IS THE “SOLDIER OF SANITY” …SOLOMON STANE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Trixie, who has normally accompanied him into matches is letting her husband go into this potential war with Scott Diamond on his own. Perhaps, Solomon feels like he needs something to prove going up against a Hall of Famer of Scott Diamond’s level.
Jake Mercer: To Solomon Stane, he should be focusing on Battle of Egypt. Instead, he had his one opportunity at becoming a champion stripped away from him after having his Golden Guns brethern, Johnny Andrews, attacked by who knows? Honestly, Solomon seemed upset about the attack, but he has another opportunity at championship gold. All he needs to do is survive twenty-nine other Elitists to get the job done.
Stew-O: It’s not the most ideal situation to be in, but Solomon Stane has all the tools to be a star. Johnny Andrews will be watching by the sidelines, rooting him on. As of right now, Solomon is presented with a HUGE opportunity to go up against Scott Diamond. Can you imagine if he picks up the victory over Scott?
Flannery McCoy: That would be huge for Solomon Stane. It would totally get the attention on him.
(“In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins replaces “Shadow of the Century Man” as the crowd pops loudly for Scott Diamond, who is looking all intimidating and serious.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM RIVER OAKS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN 277 POUNDS…”THE PERFECT STORM”…SCOTT DIAMOND!!!!!
Stew-O: If I did my research correctly, this will be Scott Diamond’s first match since…Pain for Pride 2019? :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: It seems like a while since we’ve seen Scott Diamond around these parts, but I’m not complaining. At Grand Rampage, he’s scheduled to face Andre Walker for the Interwire Champion and honestly, I’m excited to see that match. It’s another instance that people shouldn’t be sleeping on the capabilities of the Hall of Famer. Scott Diamond returned to the company and Andre Walker and Albert Hitchman think it’s because of jealousy on Scott’s part, but what do you think?
Jake Mercer: Honestly, it could be, but it could be that Scott Diamond feels like he needs to prove something in this day and age. His last Pain for Pride was three years ago. Before that, he lost the Answers World Championship in the main event of Pain for Pride. Perhaps, there’s a need for him to prove something and if he can prove that against Andre Walker, it may leave him content.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: ANNNNNNNND…SOLOMON STANE GOES RIGHT AFTER SCOTT DIAMOND WITH SOME PUNCHES TO THE FACE, BUT WE SEE SCOTT MATCHING SOLOMON POUND FOR POUND! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE QUITE DETERMINED TO KNOCK THE OTHER ONE DOWN! SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE RIBS OF SOLOMON BEFORE TAKING HIM BACK WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP! He grabs Solomon by his hands before whipping him to the horizontal set of ropes, but before Scott could connect with a clothesline, Solomon slides underneath the legs of the Hall of Famer before taking him down with a dropkick –
Stew-O: No, Jake! He doesn’t take Scott Diamond down! Scott remains perfectly still as it looks like the dropkick didn’t phase him at all! Solomon finds himself on one knee as he’s realizing that the dropkick wasn’t enough to knock Scott back! SOLOMON FINDS HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, GIVING OUT HIS BEST BOXING COMBINATION OF PUNCHES TO THE FACE AND STOMACH OF SCOTT, TRYING TO TAKE HIM BACK, BUT SCOTT MANAGES TO THROW AN UPPERCUT UNDERNEATH THE CHIN OF SOLOMON STANE, WHO ONLY STAGGERS BACK A BIT, BUT SOLOMON WITH A BACKHANDED SLAP AGAINST THE HALL OF FAMER’S FACE! :damn:
Flannery McCoy: Why did he do that? Does he not realize that’s fucking Scott Diamond? You don’t want to piss off Scott!
Jake Mercer: Scott Diamond forms a smirk on his face as he checks his lip for blood! It seems like he’s all fine, but he returns the favor by throwing a punch across the face of Solomon Stane, who goes forward and throws a punch at Scott in return! Just like moments ago, the two Elitists are throwing punches at one another! These two men are quite determined to knock the other down and that’s quite fun to see! HE THROWS A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF SCOTT, BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO KNOCK HIM DOWN! SCOTT WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO SOLOMON’S CHEST, BUT SOLOMON IS ABLE TO REMAIN ON HIS GROUND! BACK AND FORTH, THESE TWO MEN ARE TRADING SIDE-HANDED CHOPS TO THE OTHER IN THE CHEST. EACH TIME, IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S GOING HARSHER AND HARSHER, BUT THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS SOLOMON THROWS A HEADBUTT TO ‘THE PERFECT STORM!’
Stew-O: Right in the forehead! I think that Scott Diamond totally felt that as he was clutching his forehead, but as you can notice, the force of the headbutt was not enough to knock him back! Scott retaliates by connecting with a huge gut punch to Solomon Stane as Solomon clutches his stomach! Scott tries to find himself back to his feet before throwing a punch to Solomon’s forehead that straightens him, but causes him to stagger just a tiny bit! Scott with another punch to Solomon as Scott shoves Solomon into the horizontal set of ropes! He grabs Solomon by his wrist before whipping him from the ropes! Solomon rebounds off the other set of ropes across from him like a fucking train, Scott shoulder blocks him! This causes Solomon to drop down! Scott sees that as he rebounds off the vertical set of ropes before following that up with an elbow drop right in the chest of ‘The Soldier of Sanity!’ Scott has him there for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: Solomon Stane with the quick kick out as Scott Diamond finds himself to his knees. He has his hands on his hips as he realizes that Solomon Stane is going to make him earn this victory! Scott finds himself up to his feet as he gets Solomon by the nape of his neck! He throws Solomon forehead first against the turnbuckle! This causes Solomon to turn around before Scott begins to land a series of mudhole stomps on the ribs of Solomon! HE SEES THAT SOLOMON IS SLIDING DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION, BUT HE PICKS UP SOLOMON BY THE CHIN AND SOLOMON SHOVES SCOTT AWAY FROM HIM! SOLOMON SHOWS A BIT OF FIGHT BACK –
Jake Mercer: That was cut short when Scott Diamond lands a giant knee to the ribs of Solomon Stane! HE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH SOME SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE RIBS OF SOLOMON BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH AN OVER-THE-SHOULDER BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! DID YOU JUST SEE THE HEIGHT OF THAT! SOLOMON FALLS RIGHT INTO A SEATED POSITION, BUT I THINK THAT HE MAY HAVE LANDED ON HIS TAILBONE AWKWARDLY! Scott doesn’t waste any time as he nails a penalty kick to the back of Solomon’s head that takes him to his side! Scott with a cover here!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: Solomon Stane kicks out quickly again as he’s refusing to go down without a fight, but can you imagine if Solomon is able to pull this off tonight? Can you imagine what a victory over the Hall of Famer would do for his career?
Flannery McCoy: It would be the biggest victory of his career. Scott Diamond kicks up from his waist and it seems like he’s going for one of his infamous German suplexes! He lifts up Solomon Stane and throws him over his head –
Jake Mercer: Solomon Stane is able to land on one knee, looking all cool and stuff! I don’t think that Scott Diamond realized that Solomon landed on his knee! Scott turns himself around as Solomon bolts towards the Hall of Famer, nailing a spin kick that staggers Scott back, but it seems like Solomon is just getting started as he takes Scott back with a superkick, but this only gets Scott to one knee! It seems like Solomon is going to top it off with a knee strike as that takes the Hall of Famer back! Now, we’re seeing Solomon throwing punches to the face of ‘The Perfect Storm!’
Stew-O: Solomon Stane picks up Scott Diamond by the arm and connects with a wrist lock on Scott! Solomon is twisting the arm of Scott Diamond behind him, but look at this! HE PICKS UP SCOTT AND CONNECTS WITH AN OLYMPIC SLAM – WAIT, NO! IT SEEMS LIKE SCOTT HAS HIS FEET PLANTED TO THE GROUND! I THINK THAT LIFTING SCOTT OFF HIS FEET IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH TASK, BUT IF THERE IS A MAN THAT *COULD* GET THE JOB DONE, IT’S SOLOMON! I’M QUITE CONFIDENT THAT SOLOMON WILL BE ABLE TO LIFT SCOTT UP AT SOME POINT IN THE MATCH, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT IT’S GOING TO BE RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!
Flannery McCoy: It seems like you may be right about that, Stew! Scott Diamond sees the waist lock that Solomon Stane has on him and now, he is trying to rip the arms of the Elitists apart, but Solomon is doing his best to keep them locked! He is now throwing some punches at the locked hands of Solomon, trying to break them open!
Jake Mercer: Scott Diamond looks like he’s going for another strategy as he grabs Solomon Stane by his neck and brings him forward with a snapmare! Now, Scott gets behind Solomon and it looks like he’s going to apply a headlock on ‘The Soldier of Sanity.’ Scott may need to rely on trying to weaken someone like Solomon because if you give that man an opening, Scott is going to find himself in massive trouble! I don’t think you realize that while Solomon is tall, he can move like the wind, which may or may not be a good thing for Scott, who has always relied on his power and strength to get the job done!
Stew-O: It seems like Solomon Stane is trying to grab Scott Diamond and get him in a headlock as well! This is an interesting approach! It’s almost like he’s trying to match anything that Scott is doing. :notbad:
Flannery McCoy: People have been comparing these two men all week, so I think it’s interesting for Solomon to do a ‘what he can do, I can do better’ approach.
Jake Mercer: But, won’t you look at that? Solomon Stane has his arm wrapped around the neck of the Hall of Famer and he’s using that to help get himself back to his feet! Solomon is shakily getting back to his feet as he throws an elbow shot to the face of the former World Champion! Solomon turns himself around before throwing a punch at Scott Diamond. He grabs Scott by his arm before whipping him towards the set of ropes across from him! Scott is able to catch himself from rebounding off those ropes, but Solomon goes right after Scott, but Scott connects with an elbow to the face of Solomon as he goes forward and knocks him down with a clothesline!
Stew-O: Scott Diamond picks up Solomon Stane by the nape of his neck and gets his arms wrapped around the waist! HE THROWS SOLOMON OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT LOOK AT THIS, HE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE WAIST BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME, HAS CONTROL OF THE WAIST AS HE GOES FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE GERMAN SUPLEX! THIS TIME, HE LETS GO OF THE WAIST AS SOLOMON LANDS ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK, BUT SOMEHOW, SOLOMON IS ABLE TO ROLL BACK TO HIS KNEES. As you can see, Solomon is clutching the back of his neck. He refuses to stay down as he tries to pick himself up to his feet, but Scott bolts towards ‘The Soldier of Sanity,’ connecting with a big boot that sends Solomon back into the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Scott Diamond, like a fucking train, charges towards Solomon Stane with a running uppercut! That nails Solomon underneath the chin as he stumbles forward, but Scott picks him up and connects with a scoop slam! He goes for the cover on Solomon!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Jake Mercer: No! Solomon Stane kicks out! Scott Diamond keeps Solomon grounded with a grounded headlock, making sure to keep Solomon in the ground as Scott wrenches in the headlock, applying more pressure! Meanwhile, it seems like Solomon is slowly finding himself to his knees, trying to push Scott away from him, but Scott uses one of his arms to deliver an elbow drop to the back of Solomon’s neck which keeps him down a little more! Just look at the facial expression on Scott’s face. There seems to be a part of him that enjoys stepping back inside the ring, squaring off against some of these ‘younger’ talents.
Stew-O: Scott Diamond did say that he’ll be around when an opportunity seeks itself. But, money always talks.
Flannery McCoy: He’s probably thinking about that Grand Rampage payday.
Jake Mercer: I kinda am too.
Stew-O: Same, to be honest.
Flannery McCoy: As we focus on the action back in the ring, we can see that Solomon Stane is trying to get himself into a straight position. We see that Scott Diamond is more than fine with letting Solomon stand, but we can see that Scott still has the headlock applied on Solomon! Solomon begins to elbow the ribs of the Hall of Famer, attempting to break free of the headlock, but Scott is maintaining that headlock, which is causing Solomon to elbow ‘The Perfect Storm’ even harder! He manages to elbow Scott into the horizontal set of ropes and holds him there for a second or two! But, right before the referee steps in to break this up, we see Scott release the headlock! Solomon backs away from Scott as the two men look at each other.
Jake Mercer: The two men circle around each other before locking up, but we see that Solomon Stane grabs Scott Diamond and go for a wristlock! But, look at this! Scott is able to twist himself around, countering Solomon’s wristlock with a wristlock of his own! While Scott is able to pride himself in being a fucking monster in the ring, there he is, showing us some basic wrestling as he applies the wristlock on Solomon Stane! Scott gets Solomon by his arm, twists it, and stomps on it to present more pain to Solomon! Scott rebounds himself off the horizontal set of ropes and connects with a shoulder block that takes down Solomon, but Solomon is not staying down for too long! He gets right back to his feet as he tackles Scott and sends him back into the ropes! Solomon goes for a series of shoulder thrusts at the corner, nailing Scott in the stomach with each shot!
Stew-O: Solomon Stane takes a step back as he goes for an elbow to the face of Scott Diamond, but Scott is able to duck the elbow shot, push Solomon into the corner that he previously stood on, and deliver a side-handed chop to the chest of Solomon! Man, I heard the sound of that clearly from here. I’m not *that* far away, but still, that looked brutal from here. Scott connects with another side-handed chop to the chest of Solomon before picking him up and following that up with Saito suplex, throwing Solomon across the ring! Solomon is down for the time being as Scott goes over to get Solomon back to his feet! NOW, WE SEE SCOTT GETTING SOLOMON IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY! WE’VE SEEN SCOTT HIT THIS MOVE ON MULTIPLE MEN AND WOMEN OVER HIS CAREER! THIS IS WHAT SCOTT CALLS ‘THE VORTEX!’
Flannery McCoy: Solomon Stane slides off the shoulders of ‘The Perfect Storm.’ I think that Solomon knew what Scott Diamond wanted to do and he wanted NO part of that at all! A majority of the time, that’s the end of the match, and Solomon is not looking to end things at the moment! SCOTT TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH A SPIN KICK TO SCOTT AS WHICH CAUSES HIM TO GO BACK, BUT SCOTT IS ABLE TO KEEP HIMSELF STRAIGHT, BUT SOLOMON FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SUPERKICK THAT SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: WE SEE SOLOMON STANE RUNNING TOWARDS SCOTT DIAMOND AND CLOTHESLINING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! :damn: :damn: :damn: That sends Scott out of the ring! It seems like Solomon got a little bit of practice for Grand Rampage, but that looked mighty impressive there! Solomon goes over to the corner and gets on the top turnbuckle. WHAT IN THE HELL IS HE GOING TO DO? THIS MAN IS 6’7 AND HE’S GOING FOR THE TOP ROPE? OH MY GOD! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: A MOONSAULT ONTO SCOTT DIAMOND?!?
Flannery McCoy: WE KNEW THAT THIS MAN COULD DO STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESSES, BUT MOONSAULTS? THAT’S CRAZY TO THINK AS HE JUST KNOCKED OVER SCOTT DIAMOND, BUT STILL FINDING A WAY TO LAND ON HIS FEET! THE CROWD APPLAUDED SOLOMON FOR THAT MOVE AS HE PICKED THE HALL OF FAMER UP! HE GETS SCOTT DIAMOND FROM THE BACK OF HIS NECK AND BOUNCES SCOTT’S HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE HARD PART OF THE APRON! Solomon connects with a side-handed chop to the chest of Scott! Solomon with a punch to Scott and then follows that up with a side-handed chop! We see Solomon doing that back-and-forth before getting Scott by his arm and whipping him towards our table! Solomon charges towards Scott with a giant boot straight ahead, but Scott is able to move out of the way before crashing –
(The camera shows Solomon Stane crashing forward, knocking over papers and some of the leather seats of the table. Happily, the commentators were able to get out of the way at the very last second and avoid any injury.)
Jake Mercer: I’m glad to see you in one piece, Flannery. There’s not really time to process this situation as Scott Diamond gets Solomon Stane up by his hair and throws him over our table and back near the ring. BUT, LOOK AT THIS, NOW! WE’RE GOING TO SEE SCOTT GO FOR THIS MOVE? I THINK THAT HE’S GOING FOR THE ‘COLD HARD JUSTICE’ – THE CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB! BUT, HE SHIFTS HIS BODY TOWARDS THE STEEL STEPS. OH GOD, THIS COULD BE BAD FOR SOLOMON STANE –
Stew-O: ‘COLD HARD JUSTICE’ ON TOP OF THE STEEL STEPS! MY GOD, I THINK THAT SOLOMON MAY BE DEAD AT THE MOMENT! I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANY MAN WILL BE ABLE TO COME BACK FROM THIS LITTLE SETBACK! SCOTT PICKS UP SOLOMON, WHO SEEMS TO BE DOWN AND OUT FOR THE COUNT AND ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING. SHORTLY AFTER, Scott slides back into the ring as Scott drapes his arm over Solomon! Does it end here?!?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE STOPS HIS COUNT THERE AS HE SAW SOLOMON STANE LIFT HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT SLIGHTLY! JUST LOOK AT THE FACIAL REACTION FROM SCOTT DIAMOND, WHO CAN’T SEE TO BELIEVE THAT SOLOMON STANE WAS ABLE TO LIFT HIS SHOULDER JUST A LITTLE BIT TO KEEP THIS MATCH GOING! Scott chuckles to himself, wondering what he is going to need to do to put Solomon down and send a message to Andre Walker at the same time. Scott knows that Andre is watching this match from his personal locker room in the back. He knows that Andre is going to be watching this match real closely, seeing what flaws he can exploit from this match alone!
Jake Mercer: Scott Diamond finds himself up to his feet as he picks Solomon Stane off the ground! He gets him in a front facelock position and I think that we’re going to see Scott connect with the ‘Dead Level DDT’ as he maintains that front facelock, but lifts Solomon into a DDT! Solomon goes down once again, but it seems like Scott is more than determined to wrap up this match right now! HE GETS SOLOMON UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO SEE ‘THE VORTEX’ AGAIN, BUT SOLOMON SLIDES BEHIND SCOTT BEFORE GETTING HIM BY THE WAIST AND PUSHING HIM INTO THE ROPES FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL UP! IS SOLOMON GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY RIGHT HERE?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: No! Scott Diamond is able to get his shoulders up, but we see that Solomon Stane is able to lift himself up! Not only that, but lift Scott up by his waist and connect with a German suplex! Scott rolls himself up to his feet as Solomon cannot believe that Scott was able to do that, but Solomon goes right after the Hall of Famer, BUT SCOTT DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF SOLOMON! HE GRABS SOLOMON AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPLEX TO SOLOMON, WHO GETS THROWN INTO THE CORNER! SCOTT TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A FACEWASH TO SOLOMON BEFORE PULLING HIM BY HIS LEG AND AWAY FROM THOSE ROPES! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Solomon Stane with a shoulder up! He gets himself up, but Solomon connects with a chop block to the back of Scott Diamond’s knee! Solomon follows that up by sweeping the feet of the Hall of Famer, WHO FALLS TO HIS BACK ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SOLOMON IS LOCKING IN THE HEEL HOOK. HE IS APPLYING ‘DRAG YOU TO HELL’ ON SCOTT DIAMOND! IS HE REALLY GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SCOTT SUBMIT HERE?
Jake Mercer: The crowd is totally compelled at the moment as there seems to be a kind of division of wanting to see someone less established like Solomon Stane get the victory and Scott Diamond proving that he hasn’t lost his touch! I am wondering what the hell is going to happen, but it seems like Solomon is having a difficult time with keeping that heel hooked locked. I don’t know if you’ve seen the legs of Scott, but it can give you a tough time with applying submission holds that focus on the legs.
Stew-O: Scott Diamond is using his available foot to kick Solomon Stane away from him! He is not allowing Solomon to get a full application of that heel hook! ONE OF THE KICKS NAILS SOLOMON IN THE MOUTH AS HE RELEASES THE HEEL HOOK AND SCOTT BEGINS TO UNLOAD A FURY OF PUNCHES TO SOLOMON! SOLOMON IS TRYING TO BLOCK THE SHOTS OF THESE PUNCHES, BUT SCOTT IS FIRING WITH EACH ONE! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO ENVISION ANDRE WALKER, WHEN HE’S PUNCHING SOLOMON. SCOTT BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON SOME ELBOWS TO THE FACE OF SOLOMON AND I’M THINKING THAT IF THE REFEREE DOESN’T STEP IN. HE MAY NEED TO CALL OFF THIS MATCH VIA TKO AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S WHAT STARRSTAN WOULD APPRECIATE.
Flannery McCoy: The referee literally needs to separate Scott Diamond from Solomon Stane. The referee is checking on Solomon, seeing if he can continue with this match, but Solomon is using the ropes to help himself to his feet! It seems like some of the punches and elbows have weakened Solomon more than he anticipated as Scott is gesturing for Solomon to give it his best shot! SOLOMON, WITH THE FIRE IN HIS EYES, RUNS TOWARD SCOTT, THROWING SOME PUNCHES AT THE HALL OF FAMER! SCOTT IS MATCHING THOSE PUNCHES AS THE TWO MEN ARE RESUMING WHAT BEGAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH WITH THESE PUNCHES TO THE FACE! SOLOMON DELIVERS A PUNCH THAT SENDS ‘THE PERFECT STORM’ BACK INTO THE CORNER! NOW, IT’S SOLOMON’S TURN TO CONNECT WITH THE FURY OF PUNCHES TO SCOTT AT THE CORNER! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE SOLOMON IS NAILING SOME SORT OF BOXING COMBINATION TO SCOTT BEFORE ENDING THAT WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS SCOTT INTO A SEATED POSITION ON THE SECOND ROPE!
Jake Mercer: Solomon Stane gets Scott Diamond by his arm and whips him to the other corner as Scott is able to catch himself at the other corner! He charges toward Scott, nailing him with a flying forearm to the face, causing Scott to stumble forward, BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO WRAP HIS HAND AROUND THE NECK OF SCOTT, AND IS HE GOING FOR WHAT I THINK THAT HE’S GOING FOR?!?!
Stew-O: THE ONE-HANDED SIT-OUT CHOKESLAM! ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’ CONNECTS! JUST LOOK AT THE HEIGHT THAT SOLOMON STANE WAS ABLE TO SEND SCOTT DIAMOND IN! THAT LANDING WAS QUITE POWERFUL AS SOLOMON GOES FOR THE COVER! IS HE GOING TO GET ONE OF THE BIGGEST VICTORIES OF HIS ENTIRE CAREER RIGHT NOW?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Flannery McCoy: No! Scott Diamond was able to kick out! Solomon Stane is clutching his hair as he looks down, but as he gets his head up, you can see him chuckling. This man is chuckling at the moment as he looks down on Scott! Solomon begins to slap the back of Scott’s head, almost like Solomon is trying to egg Scott on, trying to get the Hall of Famer back to his feet!
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) Come on, Scott. Are you really going to prove to these people that you can’t hang with the best anymore?
Jake Mercer: :lupe: Solomon Stane slaps the back of Scott Diamond’s head, but if you were to look down at Scott’s face, you can tell that he is chuckling. This man is chuckling as he doesn’t seem to be too phased by Solomon’s mind games at this point in the match. He’s been in this business for a long time. He can see a mind game from a mile away. Slowly, Scott is trying to find his way back to his feet and Solomon begins to back away from the vertical ropes! HE IS STALKING SCOTT BACK TO HIS FEET AS SOLOMON GOES FOR AN AXE KICK, BUT SCOTT TURNS HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE TAKING SOLOMON BACK WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL! SCOTT PULLS SOLOMON CLOSER TO HIM BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP DDT!
Stew-O: SCOTT DIAMOND FINDS HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET! HE GETS SOLOMON STANE BY THE NAPE OF HIS NECK AND THROWS HIM BACK WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX! SOLOMON IS CLUTCHING HIS LOWER BACK, BUT SCOTT CHARGES TOWARDS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE, KNOCKING HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! SOLOMON STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, BUT SCOTT GETS SOLOMON BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! SCOTT DELIVERS A HUGE BATTLE CRY AS WE’RE SEEING THE LOOK ON HIS EYES! HE’S QUITE DETERMINED TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT THERE! HE GETS SOLOMON UP, BUT SOLOMON SHOVES SCOTT OUT OF THE WAY! SCOTT CHARGES TOWARDS SOLOMON, BUT –
Flannery McCoy: SOLOMON STANE GETS SCOTT DIAMOND ON HIS SHOULDERS! IS HE GOING TO GO FOR ‘KEY OF SOLOMON’ – THE SITOUT FORWARD FIREMAN’S CARRY SLAM?!?
Jake Mercer: I DON’T THINK SO, FLANNERY! SCOTT DIAMOND WAS ABLE TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! He grabs Solomon Stane by his waist and pushes him to the ropes and it seems like we’re going to be seeing an O’Connor roll by Scott, but Solomon manages to get himself out of the way! The discus punch lands on `The Perfect Storm’ as that manages to make him stumble back! Solomon rebounds himself off the ropes before taking Scott down with a discus lariat! BUT, LOOK AT THIS! SCOTT MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS KNEES! HE DOESN’T GO ENTIRELY ON HIS BACK AS SOLOMON STANDS BEHIND THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! IS SOLOMON STANE JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM GETTING THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HIS CAREER?!?! SOLOMON HAS HIS EYES LOCKED ON SCOTT AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THAT ELBOW TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! HE CALLS THIS ‘MISERY’S END!’ SOLOMON WITH THE SHARP ELBOW TO THE BACK OF SCOTT’S HEAD!
Stew-O: NO! SCOTT DIAMOND POPS BACK UP! HE GETS SOLOMON STANE ON HIS SHOULDERS! ‘THE VORTEX’ CONNECTS! THE F5 CONNECTS ON SOLOMON STANE OUT OF NOWHERE! SCOTT WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“In The Air Tonight” begins to play once again as Scott Diamond rolls off of Solomon Stane. He gets himself to his feet as the referee raises his hand up in the air. Solomon rolls out of the ring, leaving Scott to celebrate inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…SCOTT DIAMOND!!!!!
Stew-O: Scott Diamond with an impressive victory over a game Solomon Stane – WHAT IN THE HELL? ANDRE WALKER ATTACKS SCOTT DIAMOND FROM BEHIND WITH THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! ANDRE GETS ON TOP OF SCOTT, BEFORE UNLOADING A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE MAN THAT HE IS FACING IN A WEEK FROM NOW AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LOOK AT THIS, STEW! SCOTT DIAMOND ROLLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF ANDRE WALKER, WHO IS THROWING SOME PUNCHES TO THE FACE OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE TWO MEN ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER AS ANDRE SHOWS A BIT OF FIGHTING BACK TO THE HALL OF FAMER! BUT, SCOTT GETS THE UPPER HAND AS ANDRE DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM SCOTT, WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE IT TO HIS FEET! HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS ANDRE CHARGES TOWARDS ‘THE PERFECT STORM!’
Jake Mercer: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’ – THAT LETHAL SPEAR TO SCOTT DIAMOND, BUT SCOTT MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! ANDRE WALKER TRIES TO RECAPTURE HIS BALANCE AS HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND! SCOTT NAILS ANDRE WITH A GIANT BOOT TO THE FACE AS ANDRE GOES DOWN TO ONE KNEE! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE SCOTT IS LOOKING TO MAKE A GIANT STATEMENT A WEEK FROM THEIR BIG MATCH AT GRAND RAMPAGE? IS SCOTT GOING TO NAIL ANDRE WITH ‘THE VORTEX’ LIKE HE DID WITH SOLOMON STANE MOMENTS AGO??!?!
Stew-O: SOMEONE HAS ANDRE WALKER BY HIS LEG AND PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING!
(The camera pans to Albert Hitchman, who happened to be the man who pulled Andre Walker out of harm’s way. The EAW Universe is booing at what Albert Hitchman did as Scott Diamond is gesturing for Andre to get his ass back inside the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Albert Hitchman couldn’t have reared his ugly head in the most idealistic time for Andre Walker, who was moments away from getting Vortex’d. But, he won’t be too safe going into Grand Rampage.
(Andre Walker walks forward, but is held back by Albert Hitchman. “In the Air Tonight” plays once again. Scott Diamond and Andre Walker are exchanging some trash talk to each other as the music and commentary picks up again. That being the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty fades to a complete black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
