Caroline and Jamie Cross make their New Breed Championship match official for Super Dynasty. Jamie Cross gets the win over Mei Sasaki thanks to a failed Caroline interference. Milli Banks and ARIA have a confrontation in which ARIA is laid out by her challenger. Bronson Daniels and Madison Kaline get a victory over the Off-Brand Amphetamines. After the match Ruler comes out to belittle Bronson, just for him to lay Ruler out. Ruler gets a victory over Joso. Serenity Valdez has an interview promising The Queen Bees are just fine and talks about Cameron Ella Ava. Cameron interferes in Serenity’s match and gets Jay Jerry Johnson a victory. Soul Food Sunday invades Comic Con to get into the head of POTARA. Then in the main event, Limmy Monaghan gets a victory over PJ Hendrx in a Champion vs. Champion match to end the show and the recap.)
(A clean version of ‘P.A.T’ by Denzel Curry is heard playing while the camera goes to show the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pyro is seen shooting out while the crowd erupts into cheers, the shot panning around to show the excited atmosphere here tonight. It’s not long after that where we go to the commentary booth where the usual team of Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are seen standing by.)
Stew-O: We are just a week away from one of the most anticipated Marquee Events of the Season, Grand Rampage, welcoming you all tonight to another jam packed episode of FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!
Flannery McCoy: And what a card we have for you tonight. Our main event has Limmy Monaghan and PJ Hendrx teaming up against Bronson Daniels and Ruler. Cameron Ella Ava will be facing Milli Banks. The Queen Bees face the Off-Brand Amphetamines. Serenity Valdez faces Jamie Cross, and many more! There’s a lot to look forward to tonight, with the anticipation for Grand Rampage hitting the roof this weekend!
Jake Mercer: But right now we’re kicking off the show with some visitors from Saturday Night Showdown. Who might they be??? Find out right now on this episode of Dynasty Z!
(Slowly, moments later, we fade away from the announcers table, following the commentary table opening the go-home show for Friday Night Dynasty,, as we pan over to a long-shot of the arena; the crane-cam panning across the electric billboard of the arena. Seconds later, a familiar voice would be heard through the speakers…)
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen… Harper Lee and Holly Arrow… POOOOOTAAAAARAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(The crowd would begin to cheer as Stephie Love calls out POTARA’s name, as the already stood-up crowd, who were actively awaiting the opening of the show, excited for yet another night of wrestling, make even more noise than they were making before, being introduced to the challengers to the Unified Tag Team Championships yet again. Moments later, ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado would hit the speakers, and the audience would make even more noise. POTARA’s orange-and-blue graphics plays through the titantron atop the stage. Eventually, as the chorus of the song would begin to kick in, Holly Arrow and Harper Lee would both step through the curtains, wearing their black-and-white wrestling attires, alongside an official EAW “#POTARASweep” T-Shirt. The two would pose side-by-side on top of the ramp, before making their way down to the ring.)
Stew-O: Just under a week ago, Harper Lee and Holly Arrow went toe-to-toe with Showdown’s two main event competitors, the Answers World Championship matchup itself, and in that match these two walked out victorious. The night before that, however, we saw Soul Food Sunday go out of their way to disrespect those two, visiting a local Comic Con, before mocking the people that went there, in a way to try and get under POTARA’s skin by essentially comparing them to those people. It’s clear that, despite POTARA’s recent victories, Soul Food Sunday don’t see them the way that they see themselves, and perhaps tonight, they’re here to clear that air.
(Harper and Holly would one-by-one walk up the steel steps, before entering the ring, as they head to the top rope opposite one another. They would pose yet again, before climbing down the turnbuckles. Harper would grab a microphone, for each of them, as she heads to the center of the ring; their theme slowly beginning to fade out. Placing an arm over Harper’s shoulder, Holly and Harper would stare down the hardcam, as the chants of “POTARA” would begin to fade out. Eventually, Harper Lee would lift up the microphone.)
Harper Lee: The way I’m going to start this little speech off may sound as if it’s a compliment, but I can assure you, that really isn’t the case whatsoever. I mean, I wish it was. I wish I could give our future opponents their flowers because it’d make this job a hell of a lot more bearable, but Soul Food Sunday really don’t want that at all with the amount of dumb stuff they’ll do in order to amuse themselves because they, I guess, feel like they’re really “getting us” or whatever. To me, it’s just really pathetic, and I know that Holly feels the same way, because it’d be really impossible not to when Soul Food Sunday are going out of their way to enter a Comic Con, spending money literally out of their own pocket, to make fun of random people that have no emotional connection to us. Even two little girls, who they made cry… all for what? To rile us up? To piss us off before Grand Rampage? Congratulations, Visual Prophet, SOSA Henderson, and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo; you didn’t get the result you desired, and you wasted money on something that nobody will even remember by the end of next week! 🙂
Holly Arrow: We honestly know Viz and SOSA too well than to just watch them do all of that and get genuinely upset at it, because what does it gain? Like, maybe if we were some rookies, and we watched fans of ours get harassed by two grown ass men, all so you can get to the same message of every single thing they say; “white bad” then maybe we’d be in the palm of their hands, but we’re not. It is nothing more than petty mind games, it is child’s play. It’s really just lame, it’s laughably bad, it’d make me facepalm more than anything, because at the end of the day we’re only here for the Unified Tag Team Championships. We’re not here to throw around playground insults and come up with the most elaborate and expensive way to say “you’re a nerd”; we’re here to prove that we’re the best tag team that is currently going in Elite Answers Wrestling, and the Unified Tag Team Championships will cement that fact. We got so much more closer with our victory on Showdown last week, and with two World Championship caliber Elitists in one team, that is a recipe for destruction, and success.
(The crowd would begin to cheer.)
Harper Lee: It’s only a matter of time before we get what we’ve not only deserved for quite a while, but what we’ve earned. I mean, we have gone through quite a lot together this season. Even long before we were a team, we were part of each other’s stories, and we never really left, we continued to draw back to one another, and it lead us into the team we have today. Because we BOTH knew that we’d get what we want eventually. We BOTH knew that together, it’d be the most efficient way to do so. We BOTH knew that rather than having to stop one another once more, we’d be infinitely more successful together, not getting in each other’s way.
Holly Arrow: Which has worked thus far. Think about it, while we didn’t come out with the best of luck in those matches, chances are; all of our opportunities this season would have been at the expense of someone else. World Championship opportunities, Empress of Elite opportunities. Only one of us would have had that moment, and perhaps only one of us would have had THE moment, the crowning moment. As a team? We BOTH get it, next week. We both get what we have EARNED next week, we both get what we have DESERVED next week, and there is no stopping us from getting what we desire- what we require. Not even Soul Food Sunday, as great as they are, will stop us-
(Before Holly Arrow is able to finish her sentence, however, two familiar voices would be heard over the speaker system.)
The Visual Prophet: :mjlol: Alright, let’s cut this fantasy talk already.
SOSA Henderson: :mjlol: C’mon, you really expect us to believe allat?
(Soul Food Sunday would walk out onto the stage, as the crowd would immediately begin to boo. The Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson step out holding microphones, as they begin to walk down the ramp. Holly and Harper sigh, as Soul Food Sunday climb up onto the apron, and enter the ring.)
The Visual Prophet: Let’s be honest here, y’all aren’t on our level… y’all are like… mid. Good mid, but mid.
SOSA Henderson: Absolutely, Viz, I mean no doubt they’re talented… but they ain’t Soul Food Sunday. I mean, no other team is. We’re really not disrespecting them saying that, either, it’s just the truth! Can y’all really tell me who on our level? Not Off-Brand Amphetamines. Not that lame ass team between Shane Gates and Nick whatever the hell his name is. Not “Dominion.” Anyone who step up to us gets knocked back down, because we are just that good. We put ourselves on a standard that’s way to high for y’all to reach, figuratively and literally. ESPECIALLY when it comes to y’all saying that you’re “World Championship caliber.” I know a reach when I see one right there.
The Visual Prophet: I guess we could make an argument for Harps over there, I mean, it’s not like she hasn’t done it before! Not like she’ll do it again, fluke wins exist… but she got there. However, Holly? :mjlol: She ain’t even got ONE title under her belt, nevertheless a World Championship under her belt. She ain’t got nothing to her name besides false promises and false hope, yet you expect to step up to Viewy P and SOSA??? What makes you two think you anywhere remotely close to that standard? Especially considering we ARE World Championship caliber Elitists, we KNOW what it takes to be one, we got three to our name alone, which is three more titles than Holly ever even touched besides when Jake let her cosplay with him. You walking on thin ice when you try to pull that with us.
(The crowd would boo, but SOSA and Viz don’t care. They mutter “it’s true” to themselves as they smirk, as Holly and Harper shake their heads.)
Harper Lee: Yeah, we’re not gonna entertain all that. We know what you’re trying to do, and it’s not going to work. When it comes to mic work, you two are one trick ponies – when it isn’t bigging up yourself, or trying to annoy your opponents, you have nothing. Sure, you’re a great team, especially great wrestlers, there’s no disputing it, but EVERYTHING is going to change next week. All of this belief that you two are the best in the world, all of this belief that Soul Food Sunday is on a whole other level? It crumbles at Grand Rampage. We put an end to it. We put an end to your reign.
Holly Arrow: You can take jabs at us all you want, you can act like we’re just some pushovers, hell you can even bring up the fact I’ve won no Championships, low hanging fruit gotta taste good sometimes right? At the end of the day, all you’ll have following Grand Rampage is “fluke win.” You’ll have nothing else to say, and it’ll come back to haunt you. You spent all of this time talking, all of this time running your mouths, all of this time trying to get under your skin, yet when it comes to action, we outclass you every single time, and we’ll end Grand Rampage with the titles above OUR heads. Neither of you can stop that. Neither of you can stop us remaining undefeated.
(Viz and SOSA would look at one another, and nod.)
SOSA Henderson: Uh-huh. Alright then…
The Visual Prophet: Whatever you say…
(Viz and SOSA clearly are not taking POTARA seriously, and they turn around, before…)
Stew-O: BUT THEY DROP THE TITLES, AND BEGIN TO UNLOAD PUNCHES ON POTARA! SOSA AND HOLLY, VISUAL PROPHET AND HARPER, THEY PUNCH DOWN ON POTARA, AS THEY GET THE JUMP ON THEM!
Jake Mercer: THE BEST TAG TEAM IN THE WORLD ARE GOING AT IT ON POTARA, AS THEY BOTH CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO HARPER AND HOLLY! HOLLY LEANS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES, AS THEY THEN GO FOR THE ‘BOOMERANG’ ON HARPER!!!!
Flannery McCoy: THEY ALMOST TAKE HARPER LEE OUT, BUT HOLLY GRABS HER BOOT AND PLACES HER ON THE MAT, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM TO SOSA’S FACE! HARPER LEE CHARGES AT VIZ, AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK, BEFORE HOLLY LOOKS TO TAKE SOSA OUT… WITH ‘THE EMPEROR’S TIME’!!! THE RIPCORD LARIAT KNOCKS SOSA DOWN!
Stew-O: HARPER LOOKS TO DO THE SAME THING TO VIZ, AS SHE STEPS BACK… AND CONNECTS WITH ‘DRAGON FIST’!!! THE RIGHT HOOK TO VIZ’S HEAD, AS HE DROPS DOWN!!! VIZ AND SOSA CLUTCH ONTO THEIR JAWS, AS POTARA GRAB THE TITLES THEY BROUGHT TO THE RING!
(Harper and Holly would grab onto the belts, the Unified Tag Team Championships that they are challenging for in just over a week, as they stand above Soul Food Sunday. Their music would play once again, as they look at the titles in their hands, not raising them just yet, but holding them. Harper and Holly smirk at one another, as they look down the hard cam, the Dynasty broadcast fading elsewhere…)
(A commercial is shown for the Unified Tag Team Championship match between Soul Food Sunday and POTARA at Grand Rampage.)
( ‘Physical’ by Shershen & Saristkaya, began blasting through the speakers to a mix of cheers and boos, as Madison Hansen began making her way out to the ring, a huge grin on her face as she was making her EAW debut, looking out to all of her fans and haters alike, as she skipped down the ramp towards the ring where Morray Turner would be, eagerly waiting his opponent, no fear in his eyes that mutually correlated the same thing in Madison’s own, as Hansen hopped onto the apron, posing for the hard-cam before entering the ring; staring down Morray Turner as she got into her corner, awaiting the bell. )
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring… MORRAY TURNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Anaheim, California… weighing in at 152 pounds… MADISON HANSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Two insanely high potential filled talents about to duke it out tonight, as we see Madison making her way down to the ring, with her opponent tonight Morray Turner already placed inside ready to fight; any predictions tonight?
Jake Mercer: An amazing hard hitting affair, that’s all I ever predict for these type of matches, with both Elitist’s having so much to gain, I can only expect nothing less than something MARVELOUS from two hungry, new Elitists! Lets get that bell rung and have this match begin!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: And we are underway between a bout being hosted between two HUGE new signings for Dynasty in Madison Hansen fighting Morray Turner; as the two begin to make their way to the center of the ring; with Morray looking to take complete control – OH, BUT HANSEN SLIDES RIGHT BEHIND HIM AS HE REACHED OUT FOR A COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE UP, WITH MADISON GRABBING HIS WAIST, OH MY GOD – MADISON JUST GERMAN SUPLEXED MORRAY TURNER!
Jake Mercer: Can we get a weight count on Morray? He’s 240 FLAT, Madison Hansen is 152 pounds; that is SHEER power as Madison lifts someone nearly 100 POUNDS heavier than her; that is some INSANE strength, as now Madison keeps her arms locked firmly around Murray, Turner seeming a bit stunned after what just happened, but hold on a DARN second…
Flannery McCoy: Is Madison… Is she going for ANOTHER suplex?! This’d be a deadlift, I support her and the talent she clearly possesses but their is just NO way she is gonna be able to – OH MY GOD!
Stew-O: MADISONS LIFTING HERSELF BACK UP, AND TURNER IN TOW AS WELL; MADISON IS DEADLIFTING MORRAY UP TO HIS FEET, WHAT TYPE OF RAW POWER IS THIS?!! MADISON BACK UP, WITH MORRAY SOMEHOW OFF THE GROUND AS MADISON ARCHES HERSELF BACKWARD; BEFORE LANDING WITH A DELAYED GERMAN SUPLEX, PINNING DOWN MORRAY’S SHOULDERS FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOOOONN-
Jake Mercer: I MEAN, MORRAY KICKS OUT; BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT MADISON JUST DID?! THAT IS INSANITY!
Flannery McCoy: Have we EVER seen a a first match rookie do something so wild like Madison just did!? I mean that was LITERALLY unreal, but I mean a great kickout from Morray; showcasing even with a little surprise, he can roll with the punches – or rather, suplexes.
Stew-O: But with Morray staying in, the match ensues now as he quickly stumbles up to his feet; Madison just scouting him out as Turner turns to Hansen, barging forward with an arm out as Turner looks for some sort of lariat attempt; but with bad footing, the attempt is wild enough for Madison to slip RIGHT under as she barrels to the ropes, Morray turning around – AND IS INSTANTLY MET WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS FROM MADISON HANSEN, AS NOW SHE BARRELS FISTS INTO THE FACE OF MORRAY!
Jake Mercer: Madison is NOT holding anything back, as she makes sure that Morray feels every bit of her wrath; maybe it’s because he didn’t respond to her this week.. Might it be she’s a little annoyed for the lack of attention? :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Great question, you want to go ask her?
Jake Mercer: No thank you, I enjoy my head firmly attached to my body rather than in the third row of the crowd – but you can!
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
Stew-O: Luckily for Morray though, Madison climbs off of him; with Turner clutching at his nose, seemingly taking a bit of damage now; struggling to get to his feet early now, but Madison looks like she’s only planning on making his night WORSE – but hold on one second, I just realized.. Is she wrestling in heels?! :huh:
Jake Mercer: Oh my god, she IS. I’ve seen a LOT of things in this company, but I’ve NEVER seen in my life someone wrestle in full HEELS – Flannery, isn’t like, this meant to HURT?
Flannery McCoy: I could only imagine that she has to train with the heels on to even get comfortable in the ring with her feet arched up like that consistently, if we’ve learned anything today; she’s a different breed of human being than I’ve ever seen….
Stew-O: But look at her now, sizing Morray from the corner as he is finding himself in a vertical position, what do you think she’s planning here? Rhetorical question of course, as it seems we’re about to find out now, with Madison lurching forward – JESUS CHRIST!
Jake Mercer: HOLY… SHIRT, THE BASE OF MADISON’S HEEL JUST MADE CLEAN CONNECTION AGAINST MORRAY TURNER’S FACE – DID HIS EYE GET POKED OUT?! I MIGHT PUKE, I MIGHT PUKE –
Flannery McCoy: CALM DOWN JAKE – Although that is a SERIOUS hazard, luckily the heel connected on the bridge of his nose and NOT his retina’s, and I THINK Madison calls that move ‘Meet The Heels’, a pretty straight forward signature of hers to say the least!
Jake Mercer: I mean… I think I’d like to Meet the Heels, just not like this… :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: She’s going to file a restraining order on you, I can feel it.
Jake Mercer: I’m just insinuating I’d like to get an autographed pair of heels from her, for history’s sake; always so ill minded you are, Flannery!
Flannery McCoy: :ufdup:
Stew-O: But anyways, back inside the ring; Madison has gone for the cover, she believes she can garner a win off this maneuver as she puts her heel right over Morray’s chest!
OONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRR–
Jake Mercer: OH MY, TURNER KICKS OUT!!!
Flannery McCoy: But I mean, was that really the right decision? I get it, he stays in the match with his pride in tact; but if we’re being honest… This match has been entirely one sided, I feel if anything he should stay down and take this as a lesson for next time…
Jake Mercer: Hey! He might not be showing much yet, but I believe that at some point, he’s going to break out and pull out an UNIMAGINABLE comeback that COULD lead to a win; just give him time!
Stew-O: Well time is definitely of the essence as Madison is seemingly infuriated that Morray wouldn’t stay down, as now she looks to TRULY put the finishing touches on him; calling Morray up from the center of the ring, as Madison sizes him up from the ring ropes; as now Turner is getting up to a vertical position, WITH MADISON RUNNING FORWARD TO HIM NOW, LOOKING TO SEAL THE DEAL – BUT MORRAY DUCKS PAST MADISON WHO WAS GOING FOR A LARIAT!
Jake Mercer: HERE WE GO, I CALLED IT! MORRAY NOW DUCKING PAST MADISON, CONTINUING TO RUN THE ROPES AS HE REBOUNDS OFF THEM QUICKLY; SOME SECOND WIND HITTING HIM HARD AS MORRAY RUNS FORWARD TO MADISON WHO WAS COMING OFF THE OPPOSING PAIR OF ROPES, THE MAMMOTH IN THE RING JUMPING INTO THE AIR AS HE LOOKS FOR HIS PATENTED SPEAR, ‘ BREAK THE CAGE ‘ —
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD, ‘MEET THE HEELS’ AGAIN FROM MADISON, BUT INSTEAD THIS ONE LOOK RATHER MORE LIKE A DISCUS BIG BOOT THAN HER PREVIOUS VARIATION – NO MATTER HOW SHE DID IT, MADISON ABSOLUTELY ROCKED TURNER, PRACTICALLY TURNING THE 240 POUNDER INSIDE OUT, AS MADISON CATCHES HIM BY SURPRISE; QUICKLY CRAWLING INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Physical’ by Shershen & Saristkaya, began blasting through the speakers to a mix of cheers and boos, as Madison Hansen quickly crawled off the cover, ecstatic as she kicked Morray out of the ring almost instantly, not wanting him to soak ANY of her spotlight; before turning back around to the referee who raised up her hand, making QUICK work of her opponent tonight! )
Stephie Love: And her opponent… MADISON HANSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow. Just WOW. Absolute domination from Madison Hansen here tonight, I mean, did Morray get ANY offense in?!
Jake Mercer: Don’t think so, Stew – I mean I assumed in his silence all week he was atleast plotting some sort of plan to catch his opponent off guard, but looking now… I guess not?
Flannery McCoy: Clearly he might need a little more time before heading back into the Dynasty ring again, but Madison? She looked like a natural! She’s sure to be a true fit to this brand, and I absolutely can NOT wait for what she has next! But until then, Dynasty will be heading out to a short commercial break as we set up for our next match!
(A commercial is shown for next week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage featuring a weigh-in for the Universal Women’s Championship match at Grand Rampage between Dr. Bethany Blue and Sheridan Muller!)
( ‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ hit the speakers to a mix of boos and cheers, as Axel Graves began walking out to the ring, not necessarily pandering to either side of the fans in the arena, more focused on getting to the ring to begin this match; as he had a grin on his face, confident in himself and his abilities as he slide inside the ring, not resting on the mat for long as he jumped up, looking into the hardcam for a moment, before finally making his way into the corner. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… WEIGHING 265 POUNDS…. HE IS. ‘THE BIG SKY BADASS’…. AXEEELLLLLLL GRAVVVESSSSS!!!
Stew-O: Axel Graves tonight is looking for one thing – momentum. Grand Rampage is nearing so close, and all Axel needs tonight is to get himself in the door for a HUGE opportunity that can give him a careers worth of accomplishments, ergo? Winning the Grand RAMPAGE.
Flannery McCoy: This could be a huge moment for him, and right now if he gets past Dynasty’s newest recruit? He is giving himself PERFECT position to make a moment out of nothing, and be the biggest shock of 2023… Let alone EVER!
( Suddenly, ‘Blackened’ by Metallica blasted through the speakers to an array of boos, as the debuting Delilah Rose was NOT being received well by the world, as Rose didn’t even think for a SECOND about addressing the fans in the arena; more focused on Axel in the ring as she sneered at him, rolling her eyes as she made her way down the ramp and into the ring, squaring off against Axel before slowly backtracking into her corner, awaiting the bell. )
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT…. WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS… FROM ESSEX, ENGLAND… DELLIIILLAHHHHH ROOOSEEEEE!!!!
Jake Mercer: And what a prospect Delilah is, she’s coming onto the scene extremely new, though unfortunately… I don’t think the fans like her. :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: True.. But in a way? I don’t even think she cares. She’s more focused on winning matches and making her name bigger like any other Elitist, and if Axel Graves was a wise man? He wouldn’t underestimate her, I am REALLY pumped to see what they both have in store!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: And we are underway in this Dynasty match-up, with the debuting Delilah Rose, taking on an always game, Axel Graves in a match that is SURE to deliver!
Jake Mercer: Definitely a certainty to get a banger out of this one, as now both Delilah and Axel look to be locking up here, not wasting anytime with theatrics – these two want to fight! As now they find theirselves inside of a lock-up, fighting for the advantage here, though it seems like Axel has this one under wraps, pushing Delilah back getting her fully back into her corner; before delivering a CHOP to her chest!
Flannery McCoy: And Deilah surely felt the bulk of that chop, as Axel backs up – BUT BACKING UP MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST MOVE, AS DELILAH WINDS UP HERSELF; DELIVERING A CHOP TO HIS CHEST IN REBUTTAL!
Stew-O: And if you’ve seen any episode of Dynasty, let alone any episode of EAW; you’d know that when one person chops the other, and then they get to retort –
Jake Mercer: CHAOS ENSUES, AS NOW THESE TWO ARE IN A BRUTAL CHOP FEST! AXEL SMASHING HIS HAND BACK INTO HER CHEST, BUT DELILAH NOT LETTING UP AS SHE SENDS ONE RIGHT BACK; WE’RE GOING BLOW FOR BLOW, BAR FOR BAR, CHOP FOR CHOP!
Flannery McCoy: These are always so brutal, but you have to think; is it ever REALLY worth it for whoever loses? :yikes:
Stew-O: Well I suppose we can ask Axel, because right now, it seems like Delilah is staggering him more – AND YES, WITH ONE FINAL BLOW AXEL IS SENT BACKWARDS; HOLDING HIS CHEST AS HE SPINS AROUND! Bad move as he can’t see Delilah anymore, leaving himself vulnerable for attack…
Jake Mercer: And attack she does! Delilah just LEVELING Axel with a lariat to the back of his head, as Graves falls like a rock to the mat! What a level of power from the recruit, looking to make a name for herself tonight as she doesn’t give Axel much time to rest, instantly picking him back up as she pushes him forward, grabbing his arms as she whips him back into the ropes; forcing him to rebound as she goes for a SECOND lariat – but Axel evades!
Flannery McCoy: YES! It’s Axel now who evades, ducking the lariat as he runs the ropes bouncing off of them as Delilah looks to land ANOTHER Lariat to make up for her missed one – and Axel ducks AGAIN! Garnering momentum, as the next time Delilah turns around Axel SMASHES her with a HUGE running knee!
Stew-O: A massive attack paying off as it stuns Delilah, though Rose stumbling onto the ropes and she is able to stay on her feet; though this might be for her peril, as Axel looks to be sizing her up, grabbing her arm as he looks to whip HER now into the ropes, forcing her to rebound – RIGHT INTO A CROSSBODY!!! AXEL CLASHING AGAINST HER AS DELILAH IS FLATTENED AGAINST THE MAT, WITH GRAVES HOOKING THE LEG FOR A COVER!
OONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWOO-
Jake Mercer: AND DELILAH KICKS OUT!
Flannery McCoy: And a little bit emphatic of a kickout despite almost reaching a full two count, as Axel is looking to go back to the drawing board; needing to do a little more in order to win this match, with Graves now getting back to his feet; getting to the corner as he is looking to scale the ropes, attempting to hit something more high octane as he reaches a full vertical position on the top rope; calling Delilah up looking to hit a Canadian Destroyer here and DECIMATE his opponent, as AXEL LEAPS INTO THE AIR, LOOKING TO HOOK DELILAH’S HEAD AND PLANT HER ON HER SKULL-
Jake Mercer: BUT DELILAH MANAGES TO STAY ON HER FEET, GOING AGAINST AXEL’S MOMENTUM AND HOLDING HIM IN A BAD POSITION AS HIS FEET ARE IN THE AIR AROUND DELILAH’S NECK – AND DELILAH JUST FLIPPING HIM INTO A FACEPLANT ON THE MAT, ABSOLUTELY GORY; BUT WHAT SHEER POWER FROM THE DYNASTY FRESHMAN!
Stew-O: And Axel looks FLABBERGASTED, holding his nose as he looked to take the brunt of that attack, Delilah just wiping her hands; entirely confident as she grins, it looks like she’s taken full control here!
Flannery McCoy: And it doesn’t seem like she’s trying to stop here, flipping Axel on his front side as she grabs hold of his feet, turning him back on his side as she leans over him – LOCKING IN A FULL BOSTON CRAB, AND BEFORE AXEL CAN GRAB AT THE ROPES, DELILAH DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING; SHE’S LOOKING FOR A TAP OUT!
Jake Mercer: And you can see the pain on Axel’s face, he’s resilient; but is he willing to not tap out after being dragged to the center of the ring?! And look at Delilah, lowering herself even more to stress out the leg of Axel even more, and now Graves hand is shaking above the mat, HE MIGHT TAP; DELILAH MIGHT STEAL THIS!
Stew-O: He’s contemplating hard on it, he might just tap out now, Delilah Rose might’ve just stole this match away early – BUT WAIT, AXEL TURNS TO SEE DELILAH’S HAIR IN ARMS REACH, AND NOW HE’S GRABBING AT IT AND STAGGERING DELILAH; YES, AXEL JUST PULLED DELILAH DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A HAIR PULL, BUT IN THE PROCESS HE JUST SNAPPED HIS LEG IN A WAY IT SHOULDN’T BE; THAT LOOKED LIKE IT HURT BADLY!
Flannery McCoy: Was that truly even worth not tapping out? Axel looks HURT right now, but if he truly wants to win this match? He needs to work through a new hindrance; as Delilah is down for the moment, but Graves is in simply too much peril to take any sort of advantage over her! Giving Rose JUST enough time to refocus herself as she grabs at her neck, slowly getting up with Axel grabbing at his leg!
Jake Mercer: And Axel might’ve just took more damage than he needed to, as it seems he’s lined up PERFECTLY for Delilah to take over and END this match, as she sees him getting to his knees; running to the opposing set of ropes as she garners momentum, looking to knock his lights out – AND DELILAH WITH A RUNNING SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF AXEL’S HEAD! SHE CALLS THAT THE ‘KISS GOODNIGHT’, AS DELILAH LOOKS TO TURN HIM OVER AND GO FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHREEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: AND AXEL KICKS OUT! AXEL KICKED OUT OF DELILAH’S SIGNATURE MANEUVER!!!
Jake Mercer: And Delilah is visibly shocked, she was NOT expecting that; but if anything, it looks to have infuriated her even more as Axel is trying to crawl towards the corner, hoping it could help him make it to his feet as Rose just side eyes him; a sinister grin coming to her face, and I fear this could be the end of Axel Graves in this match-up… :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: He just can’t seem to make a good decision here for himself, as Delilah seems to be licking her lips here, finding his positioning in the ring perfect; as she crouches down, awaiting him to reach his feet as slowly Graves holds the top ropes beside him, pulling himself up; with Rose now running forward, ROSE LOOKING TO LEVEL AXEL GRAVES AND SEND HIM PACKING, LOOKING TO MASSACRE HIM WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, A SECOND SIGNATURE MANEUVER OF HERS SHE LIKES TO CALL ‘THE FINISHING TOUCHES’
Jake Mercer: A DARN GOOD NAME FOR WHAT IT’S ABOUT TO DO AS THE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT CONNECTS –
Stew-O: NO! AXEL DUCKED OUT THE WAY SENDING DELILAH CRASHING INTO THE CORNER! DELILAH ROCKED AS SHE DIDN’T EXPECT TO MISS HER MANEUVER, AXEL HOLDING HIS JAW; THOUGH IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S DIGGING INTO A SECOND WIND HERE AS ROSE TRIES TO RUSH OUT OF THE CORNER AND KEEP THE MOMENTUM IN HER FAVOR –
Jake Mercer: ‘TOUR OF THE BOONIESSSS!!!!!’ DELILAH ROSE RAN STRAIGHT INTO THAT SIDEWAYS SLAM FOR AXEL GRAVES, AND THAT JUST ROCKED HER TO HER CORE, AS AXEL GRAVES DOESN’T EVEN GO FOR THE PIN, HIS BLOOD IS BOILING AND HE WANTS TO SECURE HIS WIN!
Stew-O: And it wouldn’t be like he was able to get the pin as Delilah instantly begins stumbling up to her feet instinctively, almost in a dazed like state as Axel just lurks behind her as Rose begins to backpedal right into him – UH OH, DELILAH IS IN TROUBLE! AXEL PULLING HER UP INTO A TORTURE RACK POSITION ON HIS SHOULDERS, SETTING HER UP FOR ONE OF HIS MOST FATAL MOVES AS AXEL TURNS TO THE HARDCAM, SCREAMING INTO THE CAMERA –
Flannery McCoy: ‘BADLANDS BOMBBBBB’’!!!!! THE TORTURE RACK BOMB LANDING ON DELILAH RIGHT AFTER AXEL HIT THAT TOUR OF THE BOONIES, AS DELILAH IS OUT ON THE MAT, AXEL FALLING INTO THE COVER TO SEAL THIS MATCH FOFF!!
OOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
( ‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ hit the speakers to a mix of boos and cheers, as Axel Graves won this match somehow, someway after being in a obscure position; Axel peeling himself off Delilah as he could barely stand, still moving slightly on jelly legs as the referee helped him stay still whilst Delilah rolled out the ring, being attended to by Medical. )
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AXEL GRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And what a comeback by Axel Graves to steal this victory away from Delilah Rose! And before we talk about the winner, I must give my props to Delilah, as a rookie I am sure she wanted this match but even without a win, she still looks AMAZING! Nothing to put her head down about, she rocked it out with someone who’s been here longer and nearly pulled off a win!
Jake Mercer: Agreed, but again, what a comeback from Axel Graves! Absolutely amazing combinations of his best moves to secure a win, and only add momentum to his young career, both of these Elitist’s futures look bright, bravo!
Flannery McCoy: And there is so much more to come, as we take a small commercial break to set up our next match on Dynasty!
(The camera would fade to the backstage area, as interviewer Molly Waters can be seen seated in a chair in a dimly lit room. She has a smile on her face, getting some final preparations ready, as she would turn her head to the camera slightly, testing the microphone chip they hooked up to her, before giving it a go.)
Molly Waters: What a wonderful night that we have had on Dynasty thus far, and we are only just getting started! Starting with Showdown’s POTARA, and then two matches afterwards, and now I am sitting here tonight with the honor and privilege of being able to conduct this very interview. Which, speaking of, please help me welcome my guest at this time! She is the current number one contender to the EAW New Breed Championship, and calls herself The ‘Ironwomen!’ Ladies and gentlemen; JAMMIEEE CROSS!!!
(Cheers are heard in the arena area, as Jamie Cross would appear on screen within frame! She is dressed nightly for this occasion and holds a big smile on her face, as she would lean over towards Molly, and shaking her hand. She stretches out, before taking a seat in the chair behind her. Her microphone gets hooked to her.)
Molly Waters: Thank you so much for joining me tonight, Jamie!
Jamie Cross: Molly beloved, it’s such a pleasure! Let’s get this on the road!
Molly Waters: :blessed: Great! I’ll start with some easier questions.
Jamie Cross: Hit me!
(Molly Waters would nod her head with a smirk, taking a second to think over her question one last time, before getting right into it, Jamie awaiting them with anticipation.)
Molly Waters: So! Ever since you debuted in Elite Answers Wrestling, it’s safe to say that there is no doubt in my mind, or the fan’s minds, that you have made an immediate impact. With that being said, you call yourself The “Ironwomen.” Is there a meaning behind the plural to it?
Jamie Cross: Actually, there is! When I call myself The Ironwomen, I don’t just mean myself. And it may be silly, people asking “But Jamie, only you are calling yourself that!” And although that is true, when I say I’m The Ironwomen, I’m not just representing myself, I’m representing all of the women here in EAW who put in the work! Including you, Molly! It’s my way of expressing that we are all superheroes in our stories after all, even the cranky ones who may look more villainous. We’re all Ironwomen, and I have to make that known dear Molly!
(Molly has a bright smile on her face from that response, getting a picture perfect answer from Jamie Cross to start off this interview in a wonderful, heartwarming and dearing way.)
Molly Waters: :wow: That is so great to hear, Jamie. Let’s get into some harder questions, including questions about your upcoming opportunity. Which, on the topic of, we all know you got this opportunity in the first place by stepping up to the plate of the current New Breed Champion, Caroline. Was anything running through your mind at that moment? Do you have any comments on everything to happen beyond that first moment?
Jamie Cross: I knew what I was doing within that moment. I knew that if I wanted to make a name for myself in EAW, I had to step up, and I did exactly that, didn’t I? Caroline is an incredible worker, and there is no doubt in my mind that she is going to be a challenge when our title bout does come to be in a couple of weeks, and you know what? I love it! That is why I love professional wrestling after all. As for my comments of the weeks beyond that first moment, they have been pretty crazy, I’m not going to lie. Caroline has tried to step into my face, she has tried to take me off my game and have even tried costing me matches! Did you see last week?! I beat MEI SASAKI even with Caroline trying to screw me over. Pretty crazy. Right?!
Molly Waters: I saw it, it was a really cool moment!
Jamie Cross: :drakelike:
Molly Waters: But, did you ever envision this moment coming to be, especially this early in your career, only debuting mere months ago? Did you see yourself being put in contention to challenge for the New Breed Championship, or any title for that matter, so early?
Jamie Cross: Oh Molly, absolutely not. I’m going to be honest, I’ve come a long way since my debut here in EAW. Heck, I’ve come a long way since my first match on a marquee event aka Operation: Doomsday! But despite that, I didn’t think I would be given such a big opportunity so early in my career, but I am so grateful for it. I know what I am going myself into at Super Dynasty. I know that Caroline is going to have a death grip on that New Breed Championship, denying me access to taking it away from and dethroning her once and for all. But trust me here, I am ready. Ready for anything, ready for everything.
Molly Waters: Are you nervous?
(Jamie smiles.)
Jamie Cross: Nervous? Normally, I would actually say yes. I mean come on, this is the biggest match in my short career here in EAW, for the New Breed Championship for that matter! Why wouldn’t I be nervous? But, this time, it’s actually different. Believe me or not, I’m pretty relaxed right now. Laid back and chill. Not because I’m underestimating the champion and my opportunity, good heavens no, but because I know that I am going to be ready for what she brings against me. I know this is my dream, I know I can accomplish dreams. I can turn them into a reality. Super Dynasty is going to be the night that happens.
Molly Waters: On a topic within underestimation, do you hold any thoughts on how Caroline has been treating you since she knew that you were going to be her next challenger for the New Breed Championship? How does it make you feel? Do you think she is being unreasonable?
(Jamie readjusts herself in her seat, taking a moment to come up with an answer, before tilting her head to it, the smile fading a bit away.)
Jamie Cross: You know. It kind of feels like Caroline is dehumanizing me in a way, doesn’t it? Depriving me of human traits? Making it seem like I don’t have it in me to be able to overcome her, and I’m not a threat to the New Breed Championship? It kinda hurts, I’m not going to lie there, but I have dealt with people doubting me almost my whole life, and Caroline wasn’t going to be the exception and I understand. I understand why she feels like I’m not a threat to her, but she is going to find out one way or another just how wrong that she is when it comes to me.
Jamie Cross: But, my whole career – or even my whole life – has been filled with me overcoming adversity, and I don’t think that this is going to be different. I’m not going to settle with any setbacks. Did Peter Parker settle with not being good enough when he was taken down and pushed away from fulfilling his goal as Spiderman? Or his normal life when he was constantly picked on by the people around him, not knowing who he was and what he did for them? Of course he didn’t, and I’m not going to either! Giving up is beneath me. It’s beneath all of us. This is my proving ground, not the end of the road of my career.
Jamie Cross: Doubting me makes Caroline feel better about her chances of retaining the New Breed Championship against me. That’s what I learned. Everyone who doubts someone, everyone who looks down on people is doing it to make them feel better. It’s honestly sad. Caroline has been an amazing New Breed Champion since dethroning Ruler at King Of Elite, but, and I know I haven’t been here long, I feel like it’s my moment now. My time to become champion. I mean, it is for the NEW BREEDS after all, right? And I’m one of the fastest rising New Breeds EAW has to offer! I’m not nervous, Caroline underestimating / doubting me doesn’t change that. I know I can, and I know I will become champion.
(Molly nods her head with a smile after Jamie’s inspiring answer. Jamie nods back, feeling the reassurance from Molly that she did a good enough job within her answer, which pushes Molly to continue on with the next question, Jamie looking prepared to bring answers.)
Molly Waters: Say that you do win, you do become the New Breed Champion and you dethrone The Queen Of Shadows at Super Dynasty, what comes next for you, do you have any plans for your future? Do you know what you want to do with that championship?
Jamie Cross: I’m going to be a fighting champion who doesn’t discriminate against her opponents, and underestimate them, push doubt on them and make it seem like they don’t have a chance against me. Because I’m not like that Molly. The New Breed Championship is a gateway into the vast landscape of EAW, and I’m looking to prove that I’m a cornerstone of the division by treating that championship with pride and respect as is deserved. We have seen many great champions in the past; such as Chris Elite, Jamie O’Hara, Rex McAllister, Andre Walker, the more recent champions of Jon Kelton, Alex Myers, and Ruler, and even the current champion herself Caroline, and I want to be amongst those names. I want to belong. And I’m not going to stop until it happens, either.
Molly Waters: I have one last question for you before we can end this interview. Permission to ask away?
Jamie Cross: Go ahead! I love answering questions! Hit me with it.
Molly Waters: Do you have anything that you want to say to Caroline right now, who, is likely watching back on this interview with intrigue?
(Jamie looks at Molly, taking a deep exhale.)
Jamie Cross: Actually, there is.
(Jamie would look directly into the camera as it zooms in on her, her expression turning more serious than her usual bubbly appearance that we see from her.)
Jamie Cross: Caroline, I’m sure you know what I am going to say. It’s the usual, the ordinary comments, but they are all true. This match on Super Dynasty in a couple of weeks is one of the biggest matches of my career up to this point, and it is a personal honor to be able to challenge you for that very New Breed Championship. I give all the credit where its due for just how good you are in that ring, and the great champion that you have been, but, this is my moment. My moment, and a moment I am looking forward to seizing, and fulfilling. I want to prove that I am the future of this company. I need to prove that I am the future of this company. I want, need, desire, to add the name of Jamie Cross into the lineage of the New Breed Championship.
(Jamie smiles.)
Jamie Cross: And if to do that, I need to get through you, then with all due respect, we are going to put on a hell of a match. Right, and I’m going to do exactly that! I am going to become the New Breed Champion! I will see you then, Caroline.
Molly Waters: :wow:
(As Jamie Cross would finish speaking, she takes another exhale, before a relieving sigh that would follow. She turns her head to Molly, with an expression clearly searching for reassurance on what she had said.)
Jamie Cross: Good?
Molly Waters: Perfect.
(Jamie giggles from Molly’s response, looking flustered.)
Molly Waters: Jamie, thank you so much for joining me tonight!
Jamie Cross: It was great, we need to do this again sometime! Maybe next time you can ask me questions about Marvel! :drakelike:
Molly Waters: Maybe I will! It was such an honor to have you here, and I wish you luck for the night that your New Breed Championship bout comes. You got this gurl! But that concludes the interview, I hope you have a fantastic rest of your night Jamie, and good luck in your match later against Serenity Valdez.
Jamie Cross: You too, Molly! I will see you around!
(Jamie Cross and Molly Waters would stand up from their seats. They shake hands once more, before Jamie would disconnect the microphone chip from her. She would exit out of the frame, exiting and closing the door behind her, as Molly would stand there, waving into the camera with a smile as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(‘The Rapture (But it’s Pink) by Scene Queen & MOTHICA begin to blast through the speakers as Rory Slate comes out with a confident smirk on her face. The crowd has no idea how to react, so they’re encouraging her with cheers.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…REPRESENTING VOLTAGE…FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS… SHE IS ‘THE FINAL BΩSS’…RORY SLATE!!!!!!
Stew-O: ‘The Final Boss?’ Now, that’s a bold nickname to go with. I know that Limmy Monaghan, our current World Heavyweight Champion, has been referring to himself, but I admire the confidence of Rory Slate.
Flannery McCoy: Rory has been through quite a bit. She was someone who normally put the fans before everyone else, but you can say that she turned on these fans. Now that she’s let this new attitude of her’s settled in, she wants to get her moment to shine and by winning the match, that could do it for her.
Jake Mercer: She has the look and the presence that could come with being a future champion in EAW, but we’ll see with this match tonight.
(‘Imma Be’ by Black Eyed Peas begins to blast through the speakers as Bea Valentine comes out with a bunch of swagger and confidence with each step. She has a huge smirk on her face as she looks around the crowd.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…SHE IS THE ‘QUEEN BEA’….BEA VALENTINE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Now, there is something about her that rubs me the wrong way.
Flannery McCoy: Maybe, it’s the way that she’s carrying herself, but you have to admire the confidence that she’s showing everyone.
Jake Mercer: I like Bea Valentine. I love her presentation. I think that she can BEA a great talent in EAW. We’ll see if that cockiness is for a reason. I think that Rory is more than capable of bursting her bubble and ruining her entire night!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: Rory Slate goes right after Bea Valentine! But, Bea ducks her head to the outside! She is telling the referee to get Rory away from her! The referee begins to back away Rory, who has her hands up in defense! With the space between these two women, Rory goes after Bea, but Bea ducks out of the way as she gets behind the referee! Now, it seems like Bea might be playing a bit of mind games here! She is trying to rile up Rory! The referee steps away from between the two women! The two women are walking sideways, trying to see who makes the first move in locking up! It seems like Bea wants to go for a test of strength on Rory! Rory accepts it, BUT SHE ENDS UP KICKING BEA IN THE STOMACH! THEN, SHE CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH THAT STAGGERS BEA TO THE BACK! RORY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER PUNCH AS BEA FINDS HER WAY AGAINST THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES!
Stew-O: Rory Slate grabs Bea Valentine by the wrist and whips her to the horizontal set of ropes across from her, but Bea counters, sending Rory towards the horizontal set of ropes! Bea runs after Rory, BUT RORY GETS A FOOT UP AND KICKS BEA – NO! BEA MANAGES TO CATCH RORY’S FOOT BEFORE PULLING HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES AS RORY GOES SLAMMING SPINE FIRST AGAINST THE MAT! BEA BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES ON RORY, BUT RORY MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF ON TOP OF BEA AND CONNECT WITH PUNCHES OF HER OWN! BUT, BEA ROLLS HERSELF ON TOP OF RORY, CONNECTING WITH HER OWN PUNCHES! THESE TWO WOMEN KEEP TRADING POSITIONS WITH EACH OTHER, BUT RORY CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT THAT KEEPS BEA DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Rory Slate gets up to her feet as she has Bea Valentine by her blonde hair! Rory throws her into the corner! Rory takes a few steps back before running at Bea, connecting with a meteora! Rory jumps back to her feet as Bea Valentine stumbles forward! Rory connects with a snapmare before connecting with a penalty kick to the spine! She connects with a shoot kick to the side of Bea’s skull, but Bea is remaining in position! Rory connects with another shoot kick to the side of Bea’s skull, but Bea is feeling quite fired up! Rory goes for a third shoot kick, but Bea ducks the kick and it seems like she’s going to roll up Rory and possibly steal the victory!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWW–
Jake Mercer: Rory Slate rolls back to her feet! Bea Valentine follows her shortly after! She stops Bea with a back kick to the gut before pulling Bea closer and connects with an emerald flowsion! No! Bea manages to get herself out of position! She slides behind Rory and grabs her by the waist! She’s possibly going for a German suplex, but Rory elbows Bea in the face as that releases her grasp! Rory grabs Bea and connects with a judo throw and brings Bea in front of her! BUT, RORY HAS THE POSITION OF BEA’S ARM AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE IS GOING TO BEND IT BACK BEFORE DELIVERING A HUGE STOMP TO THE RIGHT ARM OF BEA VALENTINE! YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF A SMIRK BUILDING ON RORY’S FACE AS SHE BENDS BEA’S ARM BACK AGAIN AND DELIVERS A NASTY STOMP AGAIN! BEA IS CLUTCHING THAT ARM AS SHE FINDS HERSELF IN A CRAWLING POSITION! RORY FINDS HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET! BEA IS SLOWLY FINDING HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET, BUT RORY CONNECTS WITH A ‘FIFTY SHADES OF VENGENCE’ – A METEORA TO THE BACK OF BEA’S NECK!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWW–
Stew-O: A kick out from Bea Valentine! Rory Slate grabs Bea Valentine back up to her feet and throws her through the middle rope! Bea falls at ringside as she tries to pick herself up, using the skirt of the ring! Meanwhile, Rory runs the ropes and launches herself with a suicide dive – BUT, BEA MANAGES TO STOP RORY IN HER TRACKS BY CONNECTING WITH AN UPPERCUT! MY GOODNESS THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT COUNTER BY BEA THERE! RORY DROPS RIGHT DOWN AS BEA PICKS UP RORY BY HER DARK HAIR! RORY IS THROWN AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS AS BEA RACES RIGHT AFTER RORY, CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK, SENDING RORY’S HEAD BACK AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! RORY SEEMS TO BE OUT OF IT AT THE MOMENT AS BEA IS GETTING SOME MORE CONFIDENCE WITHIN HER MOVEMENTS!
Flannery McCoy: BEA VALENTINE PICKS UP RORY SLATE AND BEGINS TO SLAM HER HEAD AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BEA IS SLAMMING RORY’S HEAD! BEA IS GOING A BIT HAYWIRE WITH THOSE SLAMS TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! One last one sends Rory back! Bea grabs Rory by her gear and throws her underneath the bottom rope and back inside the ring! Bea enters the ring as she stalks Rory back to her feet and connects with a discus lariat as that has Rory down! Bea with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: RORY SLATE WITH A KICK OUT! BEA VALENTINE GETS RORY AS SHE BEGINS TO APPLY ‘BEA-TRAPPED!’ I BELIEVE THAT’S THE FIGURE FOUR NECKLOCK! THAT SUBMISSION HOLD IS A THING OF BEAUTY TO WATCH! We see that Rory is in a bit of trouble at the moment! She is trying to keep her head up, staring directly ahead to the ropes, but Bea is keeping Rory back! Rory is clutching her wrist, trying to fight through the pain as Bea is telling Rory to give it up! These two women are so determined to make a name for themselves on the Dynasty brand! Both of these women have shown amazing potential so far into this match up! But, Rory is trying to get the headscissors off her neck! She is trying to claw herself out of this move, BUT BEA SPIKES RORY FACE FIRST AGAINST THE MAT! NOW, THAT WAS BRUTAL THERE!
Stew-O: Bea Valentine gets Rory Slate and throws her to the corner! BEA BEGINS TO WALK BACKWARDS, HER EYES NEVER LEAVING RORY AS SHE CHARGES AT RORY, CONNECTING WITH A ‘BEA-SWARM’ – THE METEORA TO THE CORNER AS THAT CAUSES RORY TO STUMBLE FORWARD, BUT BEA TAKES HER BACK WITH A SUPERKICK! RORY FALLS BACK TO THE CORNER! IT SEEMS LIKE BEA IS GOING FOR ‘BEA-SWARM’ AGAIN! SHE IS SLOWLY MAKING HER WAY BACK! SHE IS STILL LOOKING AT RORY BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS RORY –
Flannery McCoy: BUT, RORY SLATE GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! BUT, BEA VALENTINE MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF AND LAND ON HER FEET, BUT RORY GETS BEHIND BEA AND CONNECTS WITH A BACKSTABBER! THE TWO WOMEN FIND THEMSELVES DOWN AS THIS COULD BE A TURNING POINT IN THIS MATCH UP! Rory is the first one up to her feet as Bea gets to her feet shortly after! She connects with a superkick that takes Bea back! Rory runs after Bea, following that up with a running knee strike as that takes Bea into the horizontal set of ropes! Rory begins to stomp the heck out of Bea! She is not giving Bea any time to process the situation! The referee is needing to pull Rory away from her!
Jake Mercer: Bea Valentine is using the time to allow herself back to her feet! She sees that Rory Slate is focused on the referee lecturing her as connects with a jumping knee strike to the back of Rory’s head! THIS ALLOWS HER TO STUMBLE DOWN TO HER KNEES, BUT BEA MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO HER AND GO FOR THE UNPRETTIER – ‘BEA-MY-VALENTINE’ ON RORY! BUT, RORY MANAGES TO SHOVE BEA ONTO THE CORNER! BUT, BEA MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THAT TURNBUCKLE! SHE CONNECTS WITH ‘FIFTY SHADES OF VENGENCE’ AS BEA FACE COLLIDES WITH THE TURNBUCKLE! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE RORY IS WRAPPING THIS MATCH UP AS SHE LIFTS UP BEA FOR THE ‘CLEAN SLATE’ – THE TORTURE RACK BOMB, BUT BEA BEGINS TO ELBOW RORY AS SHE SLIDES BEHIND RORY!
Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE IS GOING FOR ‘BEA-MY-VALENTINE’ AGAIN! BUT, RORY SLATE CONNECTS WITH ‘SLATE’S ARROW’ – THE HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER ON BEA!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Bea Valentine with a kick out! Rory Slate slams her hands against the canvas and begins to make her way back to her feet! SHE BEGINS TO PICK UP BEA AND PLACE HER ON HER SHOULDERS! SHE HAS HER EYES TO THE ROPES ACROSS FROM HER AS – ‘CELL BLOCK SIX’ – THE BUCKLE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ON BEA! RORY BELIEVES THAT SHE HAS BEA RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HER, BUT CAN RORY PUT BEA AWAY?!
Jake Mercer: RORY SLATE PICKS UP BEA VALENTINE, TAKES HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES BEFORE GETTING HER IN A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE ARM DDT! RORY CALLS THAT ‘GTFO’ –NO BEA MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND! SHE COUNTERS WITH ‘BEA-MY-VALENTINE’ AS THAT TAKES RORY DOWN! BEA WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Imma Be’ begins to blast through the speakers again as Bea Valentine rolls off Rory Slate. She gets her hand raised by the official, solidifying her as the winner of the match.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…BEA VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Now, this was a fantastic show by two women! Tonight was both of these women’s first match in Elite Answers Wrestling, but I enjoyed everything that they had to offer! These two had a ton of potential!
Flannery McCoy: Bea Valentine and Rory Slate had a great showing tonight! It would be interesting to see what happens when both of them continue to compete against some of the great Elitists of Friday Night Dynasty!
Jake Mercer: Bright future for both of these women, but congratulations to Bea Valentine on the victory tonight!
(A commercial is shown for Hot Wheels.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘What’s Up Danger’ by Blackway & Black Caviar hits the speakers to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos, as Korey Gaines would walk out onto the stage. He looks very confident with a smile on his face, determined to win tonight as he makes his way down the ramp. He enters into the ring, backing into his corner as his theme fades out from there.)
Stephie Love: First! From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, weighing in at 170 pounds, is The ‘EXTREME!!!!’ KOOOOOOOREYYYYYYYYYYYY GAIIIIIIIIINESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
(From there, ‘Survival Tactics’ by Joey Bada$$ and Capital STEEZ would hit the speakers to a similar reaction like Korey’s, as Keoga Leoso appears on the stage. He looks just as confident about this match tonight as he would then make his way down the ramp, before entering into the ring. He takes in the reaction, before backing into his corner where his theme would then fade out from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is The ‘SAMOAN STREET BRAWLER!!!’ KEEEEOOOGAAAAAAAAAA LEEEEEOOOSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is underway, and immediately these two run to the center of the ring and engage with an intense lock up! Both of these men are looking to gain momentum heading into the Grand Rampage match, and they both have their focus set on winning this match tonight to prove that they are a hugely valuable threat!
Flannery McCoy: Keoga Leoso is able to get the early advantage on Korey Gaines as he pulls him over into a side headlock, before wrenching it in tightly! Korey has nowhere to go from here, as he taps Keoga’s leg, before pushing him into the ropes. He is able to slip out of it, before pushing Keoga off the ropes, but he runs right into a shoulder block by Keoga!
Jake Mercer: Korey Gaines drops down to the mat from the impact, as Keoga looks to run off the ropes once more, but Korey quickly pops back up, grabbing him by the waist and stopping him right in his tracks! Keoga is trying to get Korey’s grip to loosen, but Korey keeps in tight, before throwing him over with a huge waistlock take down, and still holding onto him in the process.
Stew-O: But as Keoga falls to the mat, he is able to slip out of Korey’s grip, before climbing on top of him and holding his head down to the mat, Korey trying to squirm away, but Keoga raises his forearm in the air, before slamming it right down into the back of Korey’s head! That might have slowed Korey down for good in this match, but Keoga isn’t done, as he does it again! And then a third time!
Flannery McCoy: You can tell that Korey Gaines is dazed from those forearm shots to the back of the head, as Keoga grabs him by the hair, pulling him up to his feet, before running off the ropes, AND A SLIDING FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FRONT OF KOREY’S FACE KNOCKING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN! Korey looks like he doesn’t even know where he is at right now, as Keoga slides into the cover, looking for the early win here!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: But a quick kickout from Voltage’s Korey Gaines! Keoga looks a bit frustrated from it, but he should have known that he is going to have to do a lot more to be able to keep Korey down for the count of three. This match is still in its beginning moments after all! But I think he understands that, as Keoga quickly picks him back to his feet, before throwing him into the corner.
Stew-O: Korey goes hard into the corner, and Keoga looks to be picking up steam, AND RUNS STRAIGHT AT KOREY INTO THE CORNER, BUT KOREY CATCHES KEOGA WITH A BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE! THAT STOPPED KEOGA IN HIS TRACKS, AS HE STUMBLES BACKWARDS, BUT HE TRIES AGAIN, ONLY TO BE MET WITH ANOTHER ONE! Korey is looking to get into this match, and he might be able to do exactly that, as he explodes out of the corner taking Keoga down with a slingblade!
Flannery McCoy: Keoga Leoso gets slammed right down into the mat, as Korey Gaines quickly stumbles back up to his feet! Keoga tries to get up as well, but you can tell that he is dazed, and he is met right with a dropkick from Korey! But Keoga is able to stay on his feet, as he falls into the ropes, REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM ONLY TO BE MET WITH AN ARMDRAG BY KOREY GAINES! AND KOREY IS PICKING UP OFFENSE HERE!
Jake Mercer: Keoga scaggers up to his feet and you can tell that he is dazed right now, and Korey is right there to meet him as he catches Keoga with a superkick right on the jaw! Target hit! Korey Gaines might have Keoga where he wants him, as he connects with ANOTHER superkick, and that time it drops Keoga down to a knee! Korey looks around at his surroundings, BEFORE HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, SPRINGING ONTO THEM AND GOING BACKWARD INTO THE RING…
Stew-O: AND AS KEOGA WAS GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET KOREY PLANTS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER!!! ‘OKIE CUTTER’ CONNECTS ON THE MARK, AND KOREY MIGHT HAVE THIS MATCH WON AS HE ROLLS KEOGA OVER ONTO HIS BACK, AND HE HOOKS THE LEG! GAINES IS GOING TO STEAL THIS WIN RIGHT HERE TONIGHT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHH–
Flannery McCoy: BUT KEOGA LEOSO KICKS OUT! Korey can’t believe it! He thought he had won this match with the Okie Cutter but barely was Keoga able to kick out of the pin just in time before the count of three! Korey gets back to his feet, and it looks like he doesn’t even know what to do this time, but he picks Keoga back to his feet, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO HIT ANOTHER ONE! KOREY GOES FOR ANOTHER OKIE CUTTER!
Jake Mercer: KEOGA LEOSO THIS TIME IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND KOREY CRASHES AND BURNS! Korey went for it a second time and it cost him, as he quickly got back to his feet and fell into the ropes, before staggering RIGHT INTO A HUGE CLOTHESLINE BY KEOGA TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT! WOW! KOREY MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN TAKEN OUT RIGHT THERE! KEOGA LEOSO JUST SHIFTED THIS MATCH AROUND IN AN INSTANT AS KOREY IS OUT!
Stew-O: He quickly picks Korey back to his feet, and Korey is able to fight out of his grip, BUT HE IS RIGHT AWAY MET WITH THE SUPERKICK BY KEOGA, AND HE FALLS RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! Keoga quickly drags Korey out of the corner, before throwing him into the ropes, AND KEOGA THROWS KOREY INTO THE AIR BEFORE CATCHING HIM WITH THE ‘ALLEY-UCE’ AND THAT’S IT! KEOGA INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; KEEEEOOOGAAAAAAAAAA LEEEEEOOOSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Survival Tactics’ hit the speakers again as Keoga Leoso would push himself off of Korey Gaines. He gets back up to his feet, as he has his arm raised by the referee in victory. He begins to celebrate his victory as Korey rolls out of the ring to the ringside floor, as the camera would then fade elsewhere from there.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘The Dying Song(Time to Sing)’ By Slipknot plays to a negative reaction from the EAW crowd as Shane Gates starts to make his way to the ring with flashing lights and pyro on display. Shane Gates clearly wants to win this match, and make a statement in the process.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Huntington Beach, California, weighing in at 213 pounds…HE IS THE NATURAL BORN KILLER..SHANE GATES!!
Flannery McCoy: Shane Gates has arrived for this Grand Rampage showcase match!
Stew-O: Say, if he walks out of this match victorious, maybe that’s a Grand Rampage preview!
Jake Mercer: Anybody can win the Grand Rampage match, simply because you don’t have to pin your opponent or even submit them, you need to throw them over the top rope.
(“Mo Money” is replaced with ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff as Shane bounces up and down in the ring, watching as Madison Kaline comes out to a positive reaction, the crowd favoring her over him. Kaline looks confident as always, believing she’ll walk out victorious over Gates.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent! Hailing out of Tampa Bay, Florida, weighting in at 120 pounds…SHE IS THE MISTRESS OF DEATH…MADISON KALINE!
Stew-O: Madison must be prepared to walk into Grand Rampage, and pick up a victory.
Flannery McCoy: I mean, the credentials are there. Would anyone be surprised if Kaline was victorious?
Stew-O: Not me. She’s quite the competitor in between those ropes, and I hope no one is underestimating her at the event.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and it’s Madison Kaline taking on Shane Gates! Both competitors circle one another, in the feeling out process. Shane Gates lunges to deliver a right hand, but Madison blocks it, countering with forearms to the face that backs Shane up against the corner. SHANE DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF MADISON! She’s doubled over as a result, and Kaline gets bounced face first off the top turnbuckl-
Flannery McCoy: No! Madison gets her hands in front to block it, and drives the back of her elbow into the midsection of Gates, who she bounces face first off the top turnbuckle instead! Madison scores with kicks to the midsection of Gates, who is pinned up in the corner. Madison shows no signs of slowing down, and the referee intervenes, backing Madison away from Gates in the corner.
Stew-O: BUT WHILE SHE WAS BEING PULLED BACK BY THE REFEREE, SHANE TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE WITH A CHEAP SHOT! Madison spins around, stunned off that right hand. But Shane Gates comes from behind, grabbing a handful of Madison’s hair, and driving her face first into the top turnbuckle! Shane spins Madison around, and jacks her jaw with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Flannery McCoy: Shane Gates isn’t done, and follows that up with a SECOND European uppercut!
Jake Mercer: I’ll tell you what, if Shane Gates keeps up this hard-hitting performance, that’ll definitely bunch up his match rating!
Stew-O: :wow:
Flannery McCoy: Madison is dazed coming off those two european uppercuts, but Shane Gates continues inflicting punishment, headbutting Madison while she’s in the corner, causing her to sink down. Shane presses his boot up against Madison’s jaw with a stomp, causing the referee to intervene once again.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Stew-O: The referee pulls Shane Gates away from Kaline, creating a small separation between the two. Shane Gates pushes past the referee, but Madison pulls herself back to a vertical base, AND FIGHTS BACK WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST, ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE WELLS FARGO ARENA!
Flannery McCoy: Madison continues to fight her way out of the corner with THUNDEROUS knife edge chops to the chest, coming close to backing Shane Gates up in the opposite corner with her onslaught of strikes. In an act of desperation, so he can bring her momentum to a halt, Shane Gates grabs Madison in a standing side headlock, causing her to quickly rebound him off the ropes to escape!
Stew-O: Madison charges toward Gates, but he rebounds off the ropes with a shoulder tackle that knocks her off a vertical base! Madison is down, and Shane runs off the ropes parallel to her. Madison rolls over to her stomach, forcing Gates to hop over, so he can avoid being tripped up. Shane goes rebounding off the ropes again, and Madison pops back to her feet with a DROPKICK!
Jake Mercer: Shane Gates quickly rolls out underneath the bottom rope, clearly being overwhelmed by Kaline. Shane shakes the cobwebs off in front of our announce table area, and goes to re-enter the ring, BUT MADISON CRASHES INTO HIM WITH A RUNNING BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK!
Flannery McCoy: Shane goes down, and Madison retrieves him from the outside, pulling Shane back to his feet- OOH! I thought she’d roll him back inside the ring! Instead, Madison opts to bounce him face first off the announce table cover!
Stew-O: The steel steps catch Madison’s attention next, and she decides to throw Shane Gates shoulder first into them, dislodging said steps from the ringpost as he hit them with so much force and authority. The referee is to a five count, and Madison doesn’t want to be counted out, so stands Shane Gates up, and rolls him back inside the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Madison gets on the apron, and tries entering through the middle rope, but can only get her body halfway in before SHANE GATES CRACKS HER IN THE SIDE OF HER HEAD WITH A BIG BOOT! Madison tumbles out through the middle rope, but remains on the apron, managing to catch herself.
Stew-O: Shane sticks his head through the middle rope, and grabs a handful of a kneeling Kaline’s hair, dragging her back inside the ring through the middle rope. Shane grabs control of Madison’s wrist, and whips her to the corner! SHANE CHARGES IN TO DELIVER A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: Madison hooks both arms on the top rope, which appear to be the only thing propping her up at the moment in the corner. Shane Gates caught her good with that clothesline. However, he starts backpedaling to the opposite, not taking his eyes off Madison. Shane builds a full head of steam, possibly for another clothesline in the corner! BUT MADISON GETS THE BOOT UP!
Stew-O: MADISON GOT THE BOOT UP, AND REMINISCENT OF EARLIER, BATTLES HER WAY OUT OF THE CORNER WITH KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST! MADISON GOES TO WHIP SHANE IN THE SAME CORNER SHE WAS PLACED IN, BUT SHANE COUNTERS, WHIPPING KALINE BACK TO THE CORNER INSTEAD! SHANE RUNS IN- BUT MADISON GETS BOTH BOOTS UP, KNOCKING GATES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: He certainly got stopped in his tracks with that one! Madison exits through the middle rope, and gingerly makes her way to the top rope. BUT SHANE RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND CROTCHES KALINE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Flannery McCoy: She took a BIT too long, and Shane Gates capitalized! He pops Madison in the mouth with a right hand, softening her up as he climbs to the middle rope, hooking her up for a top rope… SUPERPLEX! Despite that, Kaline’s Hall of Fame instincts kick in, and she tries to roll away, but Shane Gates catches up to her, scooting back into a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: Kickout! Shane Gates sits up, and favors his back, wincing in pain from the superplex as well, showing it has effect on both competitors. But Shane Gates goes right back on the attack, locking Kaline in a rear chinlock as she began to stir on the canvas.
Flannery McCoy: Shane is effectively wearing down the Hall of Famer, and buying himself some time in the process to recover, along with conjure up a game plan in his head, a game plan as to how exactly he’s going to put her away.
Stew-O: The crowd are rallying behind Kaline, who powers back to her feet, and breaks Shane’s hold with repeated back elbows to the abdomen. MORE KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST CONNECT, KEEPING SHANE GATES REELING, AND MADISON IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN!
Flannery McCoy: OOH! SHANE LAUNCHED MADISON UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER TO THE OUTSIDE WHERE SHE HIT FACE FIRST ON THE STEEL STEPS! Madison is clutching at her face, writhing in pain on the outside. Shane Gates could feasibly score a count out victory here, but chooses to exit the ring, not wanting to win that way.
Jake Mercer: Thank God. NO ONE likes a count out finish. Why can’t more matches end decisively these days?
Stew-O: Shane Gates is looking for a decisive end to Kaline, pulling her back to a vertical base, and sending stomach first into the northeast corner of the barricade! Shane lifts Madison up in a military press, and drops her gut first on the barricade AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Brutality is on full display by Gates, who rolls Madison back inside the ring, quickly rushing into a cover, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! It isn’t going to be that easy to put away Madison Kaline, who gets grabbed into a second rear chinlock by Shane Gates. Kicking out exerts energy, and being trapped in a hold like this, well… it exerts energy for Madison also. Right now, she’s powering back to her feet, but that also takes out a ton of energy from her.
Stew-O: Madison tags Shane in the rib cage with repeated right hands! Shane notices his grip is starting to loosen, and halts any form of momentum Madison tried to build with a knee to the midsection! Madison is doubled over, but Shane stands her back upright for an irish whip towards the ropes!
Flannery McCoy: Shane Gates ducks down, perhaps signaling for a back body drop! BUT MADISON STOPS HERSELF SHORT, CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST THAT JOLTS SHANE BACK UPRIGHT! KNIFE EDGE CHOPS BACK SHANE UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR IRISH WHIP!
Jake Mercer: But Shane reverses, and sends Madison toward the ropes instead! MADISON REBOUNDS BACK WITH A HURRICANRANA! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND SHANE GATES GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, WHICH MADISON DUCKS UNDERNEATH, REACHING BACK, AND PLANTING HIM WITH A NECKBREAKER! MADISON RUSHES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHH-
Stew-O: SHANE GATES GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Shane stumbles back to his feet, and staggers back to the corner, struggling to get his wits about him. Madison is back to her feet, and smashes Gates in the mouth with forearm strikes! Madison goes for an irish whip to the opposite corner, BUT SHANE REVERSES, SENDING MADISON TO THE CORNER! MADISON GOES UP AND OVER! GATES STOPS HIMSELF FROM COLLIDING STERNUM FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND TURNS AROUND TO SEE KALINE REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: SHANE INTERCEPTS HER WITH A SPINEBUSTER! MADISON’S LIGHTS APPEAR TO BE DIMMED, BUT SHANE GRABS MADISON’S HAIR, AND PULLS HER UP TO A SEATED POSITION… SUPERKICK! SHANE GATES CAPS IT OFF WITH A SUPERKICK TO MADISON, COMPLETING KILL SHOT! HE FALLS INTO A COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEE-
Jake Mercer: HE ALMOST HAD HER! But luckily, Madison still has fight left!
Stew-O: Shane Gates rises back to his feet, and bounces off the ropes for a RUNNING SENTON! WHICH GETS BLOCKED BY MADISON KALINE, WHO GOT THE KNEES UP! Shane crawls to the corner, favoring his back, and pulls himself up in said corner with assistance from the ropes! MADISON CHARGES IN FOR A RUNNING CORNER SPEAR, DRIVING HER SHOULDER INTO SHANE GATES’ GUT!
Flannery McCoy: Irish whip to the opposite corner by Kaline! MADISON CHARGES IN, AND GATES TRIES FOR A REPEAT OF EARLIER, LAUNCHING MADISON UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER! BUT SHE CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON, AND GATES TURNS INTO A HARD FOREARM STRIKE THAT DROPS HIM TO A KNEE! MADISON CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: Shane stands himself back up, beginning to stir, and turns around into a DIVING TORNADO DDT BY MADISON, SPIKING HIM ON HIS HEAD! MADISON ISNT DONE, AND SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A MOONSAULT ONTO GATES! HOOK OF THE LEG TAKES PLACE!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: SHANE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Gates realizes that he’s in trouble, and rolls out underneath the bottom rope, finding himself on the apron. Madison exits to the apron as well, and pulls Shane back to a vertical bas-
Jake Mercer: SHANE JUST SHOVED MADISON BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Madison staggers forward, wincing in pain, AND GETS CLOTHESLINED OVER THE TOP ROPE BY GATES BACK INSIDE THE RING! Of course, at Grand Rampage, the goal will be to clothesline your opponent to the outside! :troll:
Stew-O: Madison is beginning to stir, getting to all fours, and is trying to shake the cobwebs from out of her head. Gates is lining her up, and from behind, grabs her by the waist, pulling Madison back to her feet. HES GOING FOR SUFFER AS O- NO! MADISON BLOCKS IT WITH ELBOWS BEFORE STOMPING ON GATES’ FOOT! HES DOUBLED OVER, AND MADISON LANDS THE M.O.D. FAMEASSER CONNECTS!
Flannery McCoy: Madison rushes back to her feet, and yells at Shane to get up from the corner! She isn’t going for the cover, and wants a definitive end to this match. Shane slowly gets back to his feet, having no idea what’s coming, WHICH IS AN AFTERLIFE! CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL NEARLY TAKES SHANE’S HEAD OFF, AND MADISON HOOKS THE LEG DEEP FOR A COVER, TASTING VICTORY APPROACHING!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERES YOUR WINNER…MADISON KALINE!
(O Fortuna by Carl Orff plays, and Madison rises her feet, getting her hand raised in victory by the referee as she looks down with disgust at Shane Gates, who is barely moving on the canvas after that wicked clothesline.)
Stew-O: What a win for Madison Kaline, who gains some momentum heading into Grand Rampage!
Flannery McCoy: Kudos to Shane Gates, he didn’t give this win to her on a silver platter, giving the Hall of Famer a run for her money.
Stew-O: There were points I thought he had her beat.
Jake Mercer: Well, if you bought the dirt sheet subscription like I told you, you would’ve known she was scheduled to win this whole time!
Stew-O: :cmon:
(Madison exits the ring, raising her fist in victory as she backpedals up the ramp while the camera fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Grand Rampage match at Grand Rampage featuring the competitors fighting out of the Friday Night Dynasty brand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
(‘Anti-Hero (Rock Version)’ by Taylor Swift plays. The fans get up on their feet and cheer as Jamie Cross steps out. Enthusiastic as always, she smiles as she makes her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, Chicago Illinois! Weighing in at 109 pounds… she is the ‘Iron Woman’, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS!
Stew-O: A dedicated and passionate Elitist who is always eager to prove herself in the ring, she has captured the love of the EAW universe since her first day here. It hasn’t always been easy for her, but so far, she has impressed enough people with her skillset and her heart to be next in line for Caroline’s New Breed Championship. Unfortunately, things have become rocky between the two as Caroline has attacked her in the past.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, it’s gotten ugly, but that doesn’t seem to have Jamie off guard here tonight. At least she isn’t consumed by the idea of vengeance like other rookies in her spot would be! She knows she needs to focus only on Serenity Valdez tonight. Besides, there’s a time and a place for her and Caroline to settle their differences.
Flannery McCoy: Even if those differences really are one-sided. At any rate, getting the win here tonight will give Jamie some much-needed momentum.
(Jamie enters the ring and starts to warm up. Compared to when she first debuted, she isn’t dealing with any nerves. She’s looks focused and ready to go before ‘Run This Town’ by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna plays. The fans boo. Serenity Valdez comes out, and though there is that usual smug aura to her, there’s also that bit of annoyance that’s palpable. A bitter smirk settles on her face as the Empress of Elite strides down the entrance aisle.)
Stephie Love: And introducing her opponent! From Tijiuana, Mexico, weighing in at 130 pounds, she is the 2023 Empress of Elite… SEREEEEEEEEENIIIIIITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
Stew-O: And Serenity doesn’t look all-that thrilled stil despite the smirk she has on. It’s no secret that she wanted no parts in dealing with Cameron Ella Ava at Grand Rampage. However, the match is set in stone. There’s nothing else she can do to avoid that inevitable confrontation.
Flannery McCoy: Maybe because she’s nervous about having to deal with her and being humbled?
Jake Mercer: Oh? So now you want to be biased, hm?
Flannery McCoy: Just calling it like I see it, Jake.
Jake Mercer: Serenity? Nervous? If that was the case, then she wouldn’t be a former Specialist Champion or the CURRENT, REIGNING EMPRESS of EAW! She IS the head Queen Bee in charge, and she has proven time and time again why that is the case!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity is an incredible talent, but her ego can be too much. Her pretty much saying every week that she and Cameron aren’t having the match is ludicrous. Honestly, Serenity is doing no favors for herself by essentially ducking her.
Jake Mercer: WOW! So, you can chastise ME for being “biased”, but you can be free to let such slanderous lies fall from your lips?! Well, we’ll see who’ll be ducking who tonight with Serenity ‘GOATED’ Valdez WILLINGLY taking on this match and looking to get a win!
Flannery McCoy: Even over your ‘Marvel bestie’?
Jake Mercer: Well, I…. uh….. I’ll treat this like how I did for the Captain America and Iron Man had their conflict and remain a neutral party in this.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: Both Elitists step up to each other. However, it’s Jamie Cross who takes the initiative and… sticks her hand out towards Serenity?
Jake Mercer: Seems like Jamie’s showing the utmost respect right now to the Empress of Elite, and honestly, who can blame her? I would too if I were in her presence!
Flannery McCoy: A mixed reaction here as I’m sure many fans would very much rather see Jamie take it to Serenity. Speaking of Valdez, she doesn’t seem to be amused by the gesture. She takes a step back – OH! And she JUST smacked that hand away, laughing!
Stew-O: No sportsmanship to be had here. Serenity goes right in and looks for a forearm! However, Jamie ducks underneath the attacking arm! She hits the ropes and comes running back! DROPKICK!
Jake Mercer: Uh-oh! Serenity is quick to get back to her feet, but Jamie is right there! She takes Valdez down with a hurricanrana! That has the Queen Bee leader rolling underneath the bottom rope and to the outside. She lands on her feet, and a look of disbelief is on her face!
Flannery McCoy: :mjlol: Nice to see that Jamie wasn’t taken aback by the disrespect. In fact, Cross is telling her to get back in there. She just wants to wrestle!
Stew-O: Serenity is already looking peeved. However, she slides back in as Jamie waits. Both Elitists storm forward and lock-up! Serenity uses her size advantage to push her into the ropes. The referee is telling her that she needs to let up!
Jake Mercer: She pulls back, giving some space… and she SLAPS JAMIE ACROSS THE FACE! Ouch! I don’t think she like that!
Flannery McCoy: No one would like that, Jake. That was just unnecessary disrespect! Serenity is even grinning, taunting her! Jamie walks forward — but Serenity has her caught in a standing sidelock! She takes her down onto the mat. Jamie isn’t panicking, though. She’s trying to find any opening she can get to escape!
Stew-O: And she seems to have found it as she grabs Serenity and pulls her shoulder down to the canvas!
O–
Jake Mercer: Quick interruption from Valdez! Still, that was smart of Jamie to do. She’s working her way back to her feet. Serenity still has that lock around her head. Jamie rears her arm back and THRUSTS her elbow into the gut! She does it again! I think it’s starting to work here!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, no matter who you are, having to take blows like that is going to hurt! Jamie gets one more in, and Serenity’s grasp on her as loosened! This is it! Jamie slips her head from underneath her arm and goes towards the ropes again–
Stew-O: NO! Serenity grabbed her head and SLAMMED her back-first into the mat! She wipes her hands, all while the fans boo her relentlessly! Now, Valdez is the one who hits the ropes. She comes from the rebound seeking an elbow drop–
Jake Mercer: Isn’t happening! She got nothing but the mat as Jamie rolled away from her! Serenity shakes off the pain in her arm and sits up, looking to get back to her feet… but SHE DOESN’T! BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE! She quickly floats over onto her and hooks the leg!
ONE–
Flannery McCoy: Shoulder up! Still, it’s impressive how a young talent like Jamie is able to remain cool and not let the displays of arrogance shown by Serenity fluster her! This is what she needs to do if she wants to win here tonight.
Stew-O: Jamie comes to a stand and smiles as she hears the fans supporting her on. However, her attention focuses back on Serenity. She takes hold of the former Specialist Champion and lands a punch! She follows it up with a forearm to the chest! She lands a kick to the gut! Jamie takes hold of her and lifts her up for a suplex!
Jake Mercer: But she doesn’t send her down! Serenity lands on her feet and grabs her from behind! She spins her around! FOREARM TO THE FACE! Jamie falls to a knee! Serenity comes in with a clothesline!
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE GRABS THE ARM! She caught her in time! Cross snakes through and goes behind Serenity, grabbing the other arm! She brings her down into a backslide pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: But again, the veteran is able to escape! Both Elitists get to their feet! They spin around, arms still laced – KNEE FROM SERENITY! She struck Jamie right in the face! Cross is wobbly now, and she’s in a vulnerable spot! Serenity grabs her, and sends her down into the canvas with a HALF HATCH SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: A perfectly-executed move by the Empress, if I do say so myself! She gets up and follows with an elbow drop to Jamie! She pops up and lands another one! Valdez gets up, dusting off her shoulders. She gets Jamie back to her feet before whipping her into the corner! She comes in and strikes her in the gut with the knee! Loving how she’s applying the pressure here!
Flannery McCoy: And we know that theatrics aside, Serenity is going to capatilize on any openings she creates. She snapmares Jamie into a seated position now and runs for the ropes! BASEMENT BIG BOOT! And that caught Cross right in the face! :lupe: That looked especially nasty!
Stew-O: Jamie is starting to get overwhelmed here, it seems. Serenity drags her up and hits a snap suplex! She floats back into a pin, all while having her hand on her face!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
T–
Jake Mercer: Kickout! Gutsy from Jamie, but I dunno, it seems like that boot has her loopy! Either way, she’s not going to be afforded a break. Serenity has her back to a vertical base but she has her bent over and trapped. Now, she’s sending just knee lift after knee lift right into her gut! The Empress is looking to do some serious damage here against the Iron Woman!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, this is NOT looking good for Jamie right now! Serenity grabs Jamie by the head and SNAPS her back-first ONTO HER KNEE! She doesn’t let go either! She has Jamie in a backbreaker stretch right her! Serenity is applying as much pressure as possible here to make this agonizing for Cross! Jamie’s wincing!
Stew-O: The pain is evident. Jamie looks to reach for the ropes, but she is too far away to get to them! The referee checks in with her as Serenity keeps the submission applied. Jamie shakes her head no! She isn’t willing to give up here!
Jake Mercer: And with that defiance, that’s only led her into more trouble! Serenity’s directing pin-point accurate elbows onto that exposed stomach as she continues to stretch that back! Jamie’s crying out! And now, Serenity’s DIGGING her elbow into her! That’s enough to make ANYONE cringe on reflex!
Flannery McCoy: It’s an uncomfortable spot to be in! Honestly, Jamie is going to have to find a way to get out of this QUICKLY! The longer she’s in this, the worse off she’ll be!
Stew-O: I think she might’ve heard you, Flannery, because Jamie now is beginning to fight back! She’s raising her leg and striking Serenity across the head with knees! Just one after the other, all of which are landing! Serenity is taking them! AND SHE LET’S GO!
Jake Mercer: :whew: Jamie got out of that! She’s clutching her back while Serenity shakes the cobwebs off! However, Jamie runs in and hits a DOUBLE FOREARM SHOT! Serenity pops back up, but so does Cross! Jamie is able to stay one step ahead with a LEAPING CLOTHESLINE! Serenity races up! Jamie meets her! Step-up Enzuigiri–
Flannery McCoy: NO! Serenity scouted it! Jamie drops to the mat and Valdez comes right behind her! German suplex– wait, no! She doesn’t get it either! Jamie was able to take her down with a quick-thinking drop toe hold! Serenity gets up to her knee as Cross rolls forward! BASEMENT SUPERKICK! VALDEZ FALLS INTO A SEATED POSITION!
Stew-O: And that’s what she needs as she runs to the ropes! ROLLING NECK SNAP! Serenity is down! Jamie covers!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOO–
Jake Mercer: Kickout! Jamie doesn’t look discouraged, though – she knew that this was going to be a tough match! Still, Cross is handling her own right now! She leads Serenity up and grabs her by the arm. She whips her into the ropes–
Flannery McCoy: But Serenity is able to twist, keeping herself from running to them! She looks to turn that momentum against Jamie as SHE sends her towards the set of ropes–
Stew-O: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN EITHER! Jamie spins and nails a spinning back kick! Serenity stumbles back! Jamie runs to her and ROLLS HER THROUGH WITH A WHEELBARROW ARM DRAG! Impressive athleticism by the young upstart Cross!
Jake Mercer: Serenity is back on her feet, though! Jamie runs for her! However, Serenity sends her through the ropes! Jamie is out on the apron! Valdez wastes no time running right for her–
Flannery McCoy: AND SHE GETS LEVELED BY THE SLINGSHOT SPEAR!! OH MY GOD! JAMIE JUST GOT ALL OF THAT! JAMIE ALMOST LOOKED AMAZED SHE HIT THAT PERFECTLY! HOWEVER, SHE DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME! SHE QUICKLY COVERS HER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
T–
Stew-O: KICKOUT! However, Jamie has Serenity in trouble! The fans here in Philadelphia are rooting her on! This could very well be it! She could be on the cusp of scoring her biggest win YET in her career!
Jake Mercer: It’s almost deafening in here! The Iron Woman could do it here! She leads Serenity up and tries to get her onto her back! And… SHE DOES! SHE HAS HER RIGHT THERE! ‘HTO’!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! DDT BY SERENITY! SHE JUST SPIKED JAMIE RIGHT ON HER HEAD WITH THAT! THE EXPERIENCE FACTOR IS COMING INTO PLAY HERE AS SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN THAT MOVE AGAINST CROSS! JAMIE LOOKS HURT, TOO!
Stew-O: Serenity is getting up to her feet, clutching her midsection! Jamie is trying to stand! However, Serenity sees her and starts to run!
Jake Mercer: ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’!! SHE NAILED IT!! THAT KNEE CUTS CROSS DOWN!! AND SERENITY IS GOING FOR THE PIN–
Flannery McCoy: NO, SHE ISN’T! SHE’S TAKING JAMIE UP TO HER FEET!
Stew-O: ???
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: SHE HAS HER UP… AND SHE SPIKES HER DOWN WITH THE ‘MORALITY’S EDGE’!! SHE JUST WENT AHEAD AND MADE A STATEMENT RIGHT THERE! JAMIE IS KNOCKED OUT COLD! SERENITY CRAWLS ON TOP AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Run This Town’ hits. The camera focuses in on the smug look on Serenity’s face. The fans boo. However, the Empress of Elite simply rises to her feet. The referee raises her arm up in victory. After taking the time to gloat, she looks down at Jamie who was starting to recover. Valdez slowly shakes her head as she leaves the ring.)
Stephie Love: Here is YOUR winner…………. SEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENITYYYYYYYYYYY VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
Stew-O: An emphatic win here tonight from the ‘Empress’! Not only did she defeat Jamie Cross, but she seemed to have made a statement in doing so!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, all props in the world to my fellow Marvel-lover, but man, this is why Serenity is one of the best talents in this promotion! She cut her down when she had the chance to do so and she’s the one standing out on top! Not to mention she’s headed to Grand Rampage with back-to-back wins underneath her belt!
Flannery McCoy: Even if she didn’t want to be in the match? :mjlol:
Jake Mercer: Well, it’s unfortunate the management won’t listen to the demands of our rightful Empress, but it is what it is! Besides, Serenity showed a lot of fighting spirit tonight, and as far as I can tell, she’s ready for next week!
Stew-O: And she’ll need to be as she has to deal with Cameron Ella Ava as her opponent. As for Jamie, she can use this match as a learning experience in order to get ready for Caroline–
Jake Mercer: WAIT!! SHE’S HERE!!
Flannery McCoy: CAROLINE JUST SLID INTO THE RING! OH GOD, AND JAMIE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET BACK TO HER FEET! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION BEGINS TO BATTER HER RELENTLESSLY! JAMIE CAN’T EVEN FIGHT BACK! JUST WHAT EXACTLY IS THE POINT OF THIS?!
Stew-O: I DON’T KNOW! HOWEVER, JAMIE ISN’T ABLE TO PROTECT HERSELF AS MUCH; SHE’S TRYING TO PUNCH, KICK AND DO ANYTHING SHE CAN OUT OF DESPERATION, BUT THE CHAMPION IS OVERWHELMING HER!
Jake Mercer: AND CAROLINE GETS THE BETTER OF HER! SHE GETS HER UP! ‘A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE’!! JAMIE GETS SPIKED BY THE HEADLOCK DRIVER!!
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE IS OUT! THIS IS BAD! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION JUST LAID OUT HER CHALLENGER!
(Boos ring throughout the arena as Caroline is seen in the ring. She looks down in disgust at the downed body of Jamie Cross. With her title in hand, she raises it into the air.)
Caroline: (off-mic) Naivety never wins, Jamie. Never has, never will.
(Caroline stands tall over the fallen Jamie Cross as we fade to commercials.)
(A commercial is shown for Serenity Valdez versus Cameron Ella Ava at Grand Rampage.)
(Not long after the match between Jamie Cross and Serenity Valdez, the leader of the Queen Bees herself can be seen in the backstage area. After picking up the victory against the young upstart and challenger for the New Breed championship, one would think that Serenity would be elated. However, she’s anything but that. A frown etches itself deeply into her faces as the camera finds it way to her. Seeing it makes her scoff. Running her tongue bitterly over her teeth, she breathes deeply. Hands find their way to her hips.)
Serenity Valdez: You know, as the Empress of Elite and one of the greatest Specialist champions of all time, I deserve to have a little more respect shown my way. After spending a good year and a half being underestimated, looked over and clowned on, I should be at the point where everyone recognizes me and what I have done to help this promotion. I mean, hello?? What more do you idiots want from me? I have beaten your favorites, slayed your idols and then some. Just tonight I was able to take down the new girl all of you seem to be head over heels for, yet my victories don’t get acknowledged. After WEEKS of people trying to downplay what I and the Queen Bees have done, we still have our names thrown into the dirt. MY name keeps getting stomped over, and why is that? Because I actually have succeeded? Because I can come back from my supposed “fall-offs” and be better than anyone else here?
(Serenity psychically cringes. Then, she carries on with her tirade. Pacing back and forth, speaking with her hands in a frenzied, annoyed state, she talks with venom lacing her every word.)
Serenity Valdez: You know, I’ve been too patient. Too kind to you brainless idiots. It’s like I said last night, the more things change, the more things stay the same, and the one thing that has remained the same is the disrespect I’ve had to deal with for too long now. Considering my accomplishments and the standard I uphold as a future women’s world champion – matter of fact, a future world champion IN GENERAL – I’ve let a lot of things fly under the radar without any sort of consequence. Because if I didn’t, then I’d be seen as someone who was lashing out or a big baby who can’t handle the heat. I’d be insecure or frail or sensitive or whatever it is you people have chosen to run with when it comes to me this week. Well, fine. Whatever. I’ll be that and more if it means I finally put my foot down and make all of you regret ever crossing me and my girls.
(The thought makes her shake her head and tense up her jaw.)
Serenity Valdez: It’s all going to stop. All of this. No more running around and getting free pot shots at our expense. None of it is going to happen anymore – not to me, not to the Queen Bees. Nada. Zip! Zilch! You morons get that? It’s about time I do that instead of trying to take the moral high ground. And even though I absolutely LOATHE Cameron Ella Ava and her clout-chasing ways, she has become such a nuisance to the point where I cannot ignore her anymore. I’ve allowed her to run her mouth, let her ego go unchecked. Heck, I even said that the Grand Rampage match wasn’t even happening! I didn’t want to entertain her and give her the spotlight she has been missing for so long, but she’s like an annoying stray dog that just can’t take the hint after I’ve kicked it many times already. She’s sooooo desperate to end us; to humiliate us, and she wants to try and do that by coming after ME. And yes, Cameron, YOU are the one who has been coming after ME, NOT the other way around, you delusional, washed clown.
(Sarcastically, Serenity clutches at her heart and gasps. She then rolls her eyes, letting off a harsh, cold laugh.)
Serenity Valdez: Oh no! Did I insult the great, mighty, GOATED Cameron Ella Ava? Well, I did, because with the way you’ve been acting, you deserve to get a proverbial smack to the face. See, I really wanted no issues with you. Besides, you weren’t even on my list of legends I wanted to make an example out of. You weren’t a blimp on my radar at all. I was focused on getting rid of Sienna, but when that plan went down the drain, you decided to step up to me. To us. The Queen Bees. We were content with you and Milli getting your little feel-good charity win; you both needed it after getting dismantled at Road to Redemption, after all. C’est le vie, as Mei said one time. We don’t obsess over the past like you do, and we certainly don’t come after people without a good enough reason to do so. So, as far as I’m concerned, this chivalric, courteous “cleaning out the entitled trash” act you’re doing? Is anything but that. It’s not righteous. It’s not your obligation. You’re just mad that you couldn’t prove your worth against the new guard like Limmy Monaghan, so instead, you decide to try your luck again and come after me! Oh, and please, when you get your promo up for Grand Rampage, spare me the excuses and the lies. You need that bit of relevancy against someone who is on track to outdoing you in the ring, and if you didn’t, then you would’ve retired and do all of us a favor by leaving this promotion for good. But hey, I’m the ‘insecure’ one, right? What do I know?
Serenity Valdez: Honestly, I would’ve loved nothing more than to spend next week in a different match. Maybe, I would’ve used my Empress of Elite clause to troll the hell out of Bethany and Sheridan and beat whoever won that match to become the new Universal Woman’s Champion right there and then. Maybe, I would’ve found my way into a match where my opponent didn’t make me feel like ripping every last piece of hair strand out from of my own head. Or, maybe, I would have that weekend off and get to relax with Mei and Sierra while everyone else is so desperate like you to make it to Pain for Pride and hope that their careers don’t go down the drain immediately if they lost. There’s so many things I could be doing instead of having to throw you a bone… but you know what? Fine. If you really want to test me with all of these stunts that you’re trying to pull, then amazing, I’ll bite and play this game with you.
(Serenity raises her index finger, further emphasizing her point.)
Serenity Valdez: But only for this one time. You get that? One. Time. This is it. Because I’m not going to waste anymore of my precious time on people like you, Cameron. At Grand Rampage, you’re done. You’re history. And I promise you that you will reap what you sow next week. I won’t have any regrets breaking you down. You’ve caused this. You’ve wanted this. Even after all the times I’ve tried to warn you and all the times I’ve deliberately ignored you, you keep coming after me, and at this point, I’m tired. I want this to finally end, and it is going to soon enough. Maybe the loss I hand you will be so bad and gut wrenching you’ll leave me, Sierra and Mei be and buzz on out of here for good this time around. After all, ‘Retirement is Prosperous for some,’ and man, would retirement suit you right now. Granted, you could’ve went out gracefully before this, but hey, you’ve made your bed already! So, it’s about time you lay in it.
(Serenity turns and takes a step. However, she stops. She pivots back to the direction of the camera where she places her finger on her chin.)
Serenity Valdez: Oh, and though you are indeed ‘The Serpent’, you ought to be careful. Snakes, too, must keep an eye out for others who might be hiding in the same grass.
(She smirks.)
Serenity Valdez: Karma is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?
(The smile drops, and that annoyed look comes back to the surface. Serenity turns and leaves, storming off.)
(‘People Are Strange’ by The Dead South begins to play through the speakers of Wells Fargo Center as the crowd gives a mixed ovation for the Off-Brand Amphetamines – Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane who come out, feeling the energy of the crowd, but not minding the haters out there.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…WEIGHING AT THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF 476 POUNDS… THE ‘UNKILLABLE’… KIRK REDWOOD AND THE ‘SOLDIER OF SANITY’…SOLOMON STANE…THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Here are two Elitists that hope that Grand Rampage is their night next weekend! To me, it seems like these two could be some of the dark horses of this tournament.
Flannery McCoy: We have names like Kassidy Heart, Theron Nikolas, Bronson Daniels and Joso – those are just some of the big names that are going to be taking part in the match. For the Off-Brand Amphetamines, it’s trying to find a way to stick out from the rest of the pack and make them be seen as the favorites.
Jake Mercer: There is one sneak there, Flann.
Stew-O: There are no sneaks there, Jake. :wtf:
Jake Mercer: 🌚
(‘Run This Town’ by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z begins to play through the speakers as the crowd begins to boo the heck out of ⅔ of The Queen Bees. Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki come out, looking more than ready to win.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE KILLER QUEEN’…SIERRA BRADFORD AND ‘THE DARK KITSUNE’…MEI SASAKI…THE QUEEN BEES!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now, here are two women who have found themselves in some trouble. A few weeks ago, we had Jaded Hearts, Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade confronting Mei about Serenity Valdez and how Serenity could be using Mei, but Mei dismissed their claims. Then, we saw Serenity deny the claims of any drama within the Queen Bees. Why didn’t Serenity come out to help the Queen Bees with Cameron Ella Ava a few weeks ago? Apparently, Serenity wanted to save her energy.
Stew-O: :mjpls: Like we’re supposed to believe that. It’s more like Serenity Valdez might have bit more than she could chew. Cameron Ella Ava might be the one thing that topples Serenity’s situation and causes her to break down. It’s sad that Sierra and Mei have found themselves in this, but at the same time, those two can leave whenever they want too. Nothing is stopping them from doing that.
Flannery McCoy: Yes, because leaving groups has ever worked out well for the person leaving the group. 🙄
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES AND THE QUEEN BEES COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER! THE FOUR ELITISTS INSIDE THE RING ARE TRADING SHOTS AT EACH OTHER! KIRK REDWOOD AND SIERRA BRADFORD ARE STARTING THINGS OFF FOR THEIR TEAM AS KIRK CONNECTS WITH A FEW PUNCHES THAT KNOCKS SIERRA BACK INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! Sierra rebounds herself off that set of ropes as Kirk connects with a hiptoss, but Sierra manages to land on her feet before flipping Kirk over with an armdrag! Kirk manages to slide on his feet across the ring! Sierra finds her way back to her feet as Kirk connects with a spear that takes Sierra down! Kirk begins to connect with a series of fiery fists as he finds his way back to his feet! Sierra gets to her feet after, but Kirk connects with a knee to ribs of ‘The Killer Queen!’
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood pulls Sierra Bradford closer to him and gets her in position for a snap suplex, but Sierra blocks it! She breaks herself free, pushes Kirk away from her and connects with a roundhouse kick! BUT, KIRK DUCKS THE ROUNDHOUSE BEFORE PICKING UP SIERRA AND CONNECTING WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX AS THAT SENDS SIERRA BACK TO THE CORNER! KIRK IS GESTURING FOR SIERRA TO FIND HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS HE RUNS TOWARDS SIERRA, CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING UPPERCUT AS THAT EATS SIERRA IN THE FACE! SIERRA STUMbles forward as Kirk connects with a scoop slam as he goes for the first pinfall of the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Sierra Bradford with a kick out! Kirk Redwood goes over to tag in his partner, Solomon Stane!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: Solomon Stane enters the ring as Kirk Redwood takes Sierra Bradford back with a butterfly suplex! Solomon connects with a spear as that takes down Sierra! ‘Fred Claus’s Sleigh’ as Solomon goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTT–
Flannery McCoy: Sierra Bradford with a kick out! Solomon Stane gets Sierra up to her feet as Solomon picks her up and runs to the corner to battery ram her there! Solomon connects with a series of turnbuckle thrusts to the ribs of ‘The Killer Queen!’ Solomon picks up Sierra before looking at Mei Sasaki at the corner before connecting with a palm strike to the chest of Sierra! Sierra drops down instantly, BUT SOLOMON PICKS UP SIERRA BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST! SIERRA SHREAKS OF PAIN AS MEI IS TRYING TO GET SOLOMON’S ATTENTION! MEI IS TUGGING AT THE ANKLE OF SOLOMON AS HE MANAGES TO CATCH HIS ATTENTION! BUT, KIRK REDWOOD IS RUNNING TOWARDS MEI AS MEI QUICKLY GOES BACK TO HER CORNER! SHE DOESN’T WANT ANY ISSUES AT RINGSIDE!
Jake Mercer: With that distraction, Sierra Bradford delivers a nasty headbutt to Solomon Stane as that takes him back! Sierra sits on the top turnbuckle before jumping off of it and connecting with meteora on Solomon, but Solomon is able to catch Sierra! HE GOES AROUND WITH HER AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR A POWERBOMB! BUT, SIERRA SITS HERSELF ON SOLOMON’S SHOULDERS AND CONNECTS WITH A REVERSE FRAKENSTEINER ON SOLOMON AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! SIERRA GETS TO HER FEET AS SOLOMON TRIES TO GET UP TO HIS FEET, BUT SIERRA STOPS HIM BY CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK! SIERRA GOES BACK TO HER CORNER AND TAGS IN MEI SASAKI!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: Mei Sasaki is the legal woman in this match up! She sees Solomon Stane getting up to his feet as she takes him down with a basement dropkick! Mei gets Solomon by his head and draps it on the second row of ropes! Then, she steps on the back of Solomon and proceeds to choke him with the ring rope!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HIM, MEI!
Flannery McCoy: Mei Sasaki gets off the ‘Soldier of Sanity’ as the referee backs Mei away from Solomon Stane. It seems like the referee is allowing Solomon some time to get to his feet. At the first sign of Solomon getting up to his feet, Mei goes after him with a jumping knee strike as that takes the 2022 Extreme Engima Elimination match winner down! Mei begins to unload on a series of punches, BUT SOLOMON SHOVES MEI AWAY FROM HIM! SOLOMON TRIES TO USE THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ROPES TO HELP HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET! BUT, MEI GOES RIGHT AFTER HIM WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! NO! SOLOMON GRABS MEI BY HER BOOT AND SHOVES HER AWAY –
(The camera pans to Mei Sasaki in a vertical split position thanks to Solomon Stane pushing Mei’s boot away from him.)
Jake Mercer: Now, I see why Limmy Monaghan likes her. :notbad:
Stew-O: Solomon Stane runs forward, nailing a penalty kick to the face of Mei Sasaki! This causes Mei to fall out of her vertical split position! Solomon grabs Mei by her hair as Mei is connecting with kicks to the left and right leg of Solomon! Mei is looking for any sort of way to get herself out of this predicament, but Solomon delivesr a harsh headbutt as that sends Mei stumbling back! BUT, SOLOMON SPINS HIMSELF AROUND, NAILING A SPINNING BACKFIST BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF MEI’S HEAD! MEI IS DOWN AS SOLOMON BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE DOWN BODY OF ‘TAEKWANDO BADDIE.’ SOLOMON PICKS UP MEI BEFORE HOISTING HER UP IN THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A ONE-HANDED SITOUT CHOKESLAM – ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’ ON MEI AS SOLOMON GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: Mei Sasaki with the kick out! Solomon Stane stumbles backwards and tags in Kirk Redwood back into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood jumps over the top rope and gets inside the ring! He picks up Mei Sasaki and applies a headlock on her! Kirk begins to apply a front headlock as he begins to knee Mei in the stomach! He runs back to the ropes, rebounds off of them and slides on his knees towards Mei, knowing her back up with an uppercut! Kirk follows that up with a running dropkick as that sends Mei into the horizontal set of ropes! Kirk runs towards Mei with a clothesline, but Mei manages to lift Kirk over her head and out of the ring!
Stew-O: BUT, KIRK REDWOOD IS HANGING ON BY THE TOP ROPE! THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE SITUATIONS THAT WE’LL BE SEEING AT THE GRAND RAMPAGE. ONE CLUTCH OF THE TOP ROPE! ONE FOOT STILL INSIDE THE RING! ANY OF THESE TINY DETAILS COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELIMINATION OR NOT! MEI TURNS AROUND AS SHE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM TO KNOCK KIRK OUT OF THE RING, BUT KIRK DUCKS THE FOREARM AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE RIBS OF MEI THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! This causes for Mei to go back as Kirk finds himself going for the top turnbuckle! What in the world is Kirk planning to do up there? He flies off the top rope and connects with a knee drop to the face of Mei! Mei goes down as Kirk begins to unload on a series of punches! Kirk manages to rise back to his feet as he’s gesturing for Mei to get back to her feet! Kirk connects with a stiff slap to the face of Mei! Mei’s face is turned back as she goes to slap Kirk across the face –
Flannery McCoy: –BUT, KIRK REDWOOD DUCKS THE SLAP! HE MANAGES TO HOOK MEI SASAKI IN A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION, BUT MEI MANAGES TO COUNTER WITH A SUNSET ROLL UP ON KIRK!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: No! Kirk Redwood rolls back and up to his feet! Mei Sasaki rises back to her feet! She tries to connect with a superkick, but Kirk ducks the superkick! He goes around Mei, his arms around the waist of Mei and connects with a German suplex! But, Mei manages to land on her feet as she stumbles back to her corner! Sierra Bradford tags herself into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: It seemed like Mei Sasaki was looking to find a way to surprise Kirk Redwood, but Sierra Bradford tagged herself into the match! The two members of The Queen Bees look at each other, but nothing is said as Sierra steps back inside the ring! The two of them look at Kirk Redwood! Mei Sasaki lifts up Kirk in a bearhug position as Sierra connects with a lariat – ‘Caution Shift’ takes down Kirk as Sierra goes for the cover!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: A kick out from Kirk Redwood! Solomon Stane is looking back at Kirk, trying to encourage him to get back into this match up! Sierra rises back to her feet as she is stalking Kirk back to his feet! She connects with a back kick to the gut of Kirk before jumping on the ropes, springboarding off of them and connecting with a taking him down with a springboard cutter! Kirk is taken down as Solomon Stane is trying to get the attention of Sierra Bradford, but Sierra smirks as she turns her attention back to Kirk! She picks up Kirk by the nape of his neck as she begins to taunt Kirk. She extends Kirk closer to Solomon as Kirk tries to reach for a tag, but Sierra pulls Kirk away from Solomon as she chuckles at herself! She runs to one of the corners, extends her foot up the turnbuckle before throwing Kirk head first against the foot and turnbuckle! Sierra turns Kirk around before beginning to stomp on ‘The Unkillable’ on the ribs! Sierra extends her foot to the throat of Kirk as she holds it there!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HIM, SIERRA!
Jake Mercer: Sierra Bradford gets her foot off of Kirk Redwood! SHE BEGINS TO STAND ON TOP OF THE TURNBUCKLE, LOOKING DOWN ON KIRK AS SHE BEGINS TO THROW PUNCHES DOWN TO HIS FACE! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! BUT, KIRK IS LIFTING ‘THE KILLER QUEEN’ OFF HER FEET AND HAS HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! SIERRA BEGINS TO PUNCH HER WAY OUT OF THE POWERBOMB POSITION! YOU CAN SEE THE CLEAR PANIC ON HER FACE AS KIRK REDWOOD DELIVERS A HARSH POWERBOMB TO SIERRA! KIRK RACES BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE’S DEMANDING FOR SIERRA TO RISE BACK TO HER FEET AS KIRK RUNS AFTER HER, NAILING A ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP’ TO THE BACK OF SIERRA’S SKULL! But, Kirk turns around as Mei Sasaki connects with a missile dropkick to his face, knocking him down! That’s when Solomon Stane gets himself involved as he connects with a big boot to the chest of Mei! This takes Mei out of the ring! Solomon is being backed to his side of the ring by the referee!
Stew-O: Inside the ring, Sierra Bradford and Kirk Redwood are rising back to their feet! These two are not really the cheating types out of their respective teams! The two of them are clutching to each other, trying to pick themselves up from the ground! Kirk connects with a punch to Sierra, but Sierra connects with a headbutt that sends Kirk back! BUT, KIRK CONNECTS WITH A LIVER PUNCH TO SIERRA, WHO IS CLUTCHING TO HER ABDOMEN IN PAIN AS SHE SLOWLY SINKS DOWN. THOSE LIVER PUNCHES ARE NO JOKE. WHILE IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING, ONE SWIFT PUNCH COULD CAUSE YOU TO REACT IN A NEGATIVE WAY! THE MOMENTUM OF THE PUNCH CAUSES KIRK TO FALL DOWN! MEANWHILE, YOU CAN SEE THAT SIERRA IS TRYING TO REACH OVER TO TAG MEI BACK INTO THE MATCH, BUT KIRK GRABS SIERRA BY THE LEG AND PULLS HER AWAY! I THINK THAT KIRK MIGHT BE APPLYING THE FIGURE FOUR SHARPSHOOTER THAT HE CALLS THE ‘COLLINS LOCK.’ We’ve seen him apply this on multiple occasions and it does a good job at weakening the legs. Due to the liver punch, it seems like Sierra can’t move much!
Flannery McCoy: This allows for Kirk Redwood to apply the ‘Collins Lock’ without much of a struggle. Sierra Bradford begins to scream due to the pain as she’s trying to reach for the bottom rope. Both members of the Off-Brand Amphetamines are laughing amongst themselves at the situation. Kirk adjusts himself, so that his back is faced against Solomon Stane at the corner! Sierra is now looking at Mei Sasaki at her corner across from her! Mei is trying to root on Sierra to try to look for anything to get herself out of the ‘Collins Lock.’ Meanwhile, Kirk reaches up for a tag to Solomon!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: SOLOMON STANE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW DROP! ‘MISERY’S END’ TO THE BACK OF SIERRA BRADFORD’S SKULL! I BELIEVE THAT THEY CALL THAT ‘COLLINS LOCK’/’MISERY’S END’ COMBO ‘THE DUNCAN PRINCIPLE.’ KIRK REDWOOD TAKES SOLOMON’S SPOT AT THE CORNER! SOLOMON TAKES KIRK’S PLACE INSIDE THE RING! SOLOMON IS LOOKING BACK AT MEI SASAKI AT THE CORNER, CONNECTING WITH A CAMEL CLUTCH. HE IS STANDING ABOVE SIERRA AS HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO APPLY WITH THE CAMEL CLUTCH! ‘ATONEMENT’ ON SIERRA BRADFORD, BUT SOLOMON IS IN A STANDING POSITION AS HE APPLIES THE MOVE! Solomon is making Mei look at Sierra as she is being applied by the camel clutch! Meanwhile, Mei is at her corner as she’s trying to rally Sierra back into this match up! Sierra is trying to get back intop her corner! Mei is trying to extend herself forward, hoping that she can reach for the tag, but it’s useless!
Stew-O: SOLOMON STANE CONNECTS WITH A BELL CLAP TO THE EARS OF SIERRA BRADFORD! SOLOMON LIFTS UP SIERRA AND CONNECTS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX TO ONE OF THE CORNERS! SIERRA WAS ABLE TO SOMEWHAT LAND ON HER FEET, BUT SHE STUMBLED BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! SOLOMON CHARGES AT SIERRA, HITTING HER WITH A DROPKICK! SOLOMON BEGINS TO UNLOAD SOME PUNCHES ON ‘THE KILLER QUEEN,’ WHO IS TRYING TO REACH INTO HER INNER STRENGTH TO SHOVE SOLOMON AWAY FROM HER!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra Bradford connects with a headbutt to the ribs of Solomon Stane! This creates a bit of distance before delivering a dropkick to the legs of Solomon! This causes Solomon to fall down to one knee, but Sierra pulls Solomon closer, so that his face eats the middle turnbuckle! Sierra creates even more separation as she reaches for her corner! Mei Sasaki is more than ready for a tag, but Solomon has Sierra by the ankle! He pulls Sierra, but Sierra counters with an enzuigiri as that knocks Solomon to his side! Sierra with a tag to Mei!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: MEI SASAKI HOPES OVER THE TOP ROPE! SHE RUNS AFTER SOLOMON STANE, WHO LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT, BUT MEI DUCKS THE BIG BOOT AS SHE GETS ON TOP OF THE SHOULDERS OF SOLOMON AND TAKES HIM BACK WITH A POISONRANA! She kips up to her feet as she runs the horizontal set of ropes, rebounds off of them and connects with a basement dropkick! Solomon is taken back as Mei is back to her feet again and takes herself into a handstand position before connecting with a knee drop to Solomon! Mei with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTT–
Stew-O: Solomon Stane with a kick out! Mei Sasaki lifts Solomon up by a fistfull of his hair as she faces her back against the corner and connects with a snap suplex with Solomon colliding with the corner! Mei begins to run towards Solomon at the corner with a sliding dropkick as she rolls back into her feet! She tries to get Solomon in an upside down position with his feet dangling on the top rope! Then, she begins to stomp on the face of Solomon before using her boot and pressing it against the face of Solomon! She holds it there for a moment as the referee begins to count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OF HIS FACE, MEI!
Flannery McCoy: Mei Sasaki gets her foot off of Solomon Stane’s face, but she brushes off the referee and his demands! She begins to get herself on the top turnbuckle! Now, Solomon is still in an upside down position, so I’m wondering what in the world Mei has in store at the moment! SOLOMON IS TRYING TO GET THE UPPER HALF OF HIS BODY UP AS HE’S TRYING TO LOOK UP AT MEI, BUT MEI JUMPS FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP TO SOLOMON STANE! :damn: Oh my goodness, the back of Solomon’s skull was caved into the canvas! MEANWHILE, MEI GETS SOLOMON UP AND CONNECTS WITH A CROSSFACE CHICKENWING! IT SEEMS LIKE MEI IS TRYING TO APPLY THE BODYSCISSORS ON SOLOMON AS SHE DOES THAT! SOLOMON SEEMS TO BE KNOCKED OUT, SO I CAN’T IMAGINE THAT BEING IN THIS SUBMISSION HOLD IS GOING TO MAKE THIS ANY BETTER FOR HIM! SOLOMON IS TRYING TO ROLL HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION, BUT MEI CONNECTS WITH SOME ELBOWS TO THE SKULL AS SOLOMON STOPS MOVING –
Jake Mercer: BUT, KIRK REDWOOD, FROM THE TOP ROPE, HE CONNECTS WITH A FLYING HEADBUTT FROM THE TOP ROPE! HE LANDS DIRECTLY ON THE FACE OF MEI SASAKI! IT CAUSES MEI TO RELEASE HER SUBMISSION HOLD AS SHE CHECKS HER FACE! SOLOMON STANE HAS A BIT OF SPACE FROM MEI AS HE ROLLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! MEANWHILE, SIERRA BRADFORD RUNS AFTER KIRK REDWOOD AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘ELECTRIC FEEL’ – THE ROLLING KOPPU KICK TOWARDS KIRK AS THAT THROWS HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! SIERRA RUNS THE ROPES AND LAUNCHES HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE INTO A CANADIAN DESTROYER ON KIRK! :damn: Sierra takes herself and Kirk out of the equation for the time being! Solomon and Mei are the two Elitists in the ring! The two of them are trying to rise back into their feet as Solomon throws a punch to Mei, but Mei connects with a side handed chop to the chest! Solomon connects with a punch to Mei, but Mei with a chop to Solomon’s chest! The two Elitists are throwing everything that they are at each other!
Stew-O: MEI SASAKI WITH A CHOP! SOLOMON STANE WITH A PUNCH! MEI WITH A CHOP! SOLOMON WITH A PUNCH! MEI! SOLOMON! MEI! SOLOMON! MEI! SOLOMON! MEI! SOLOMON! NOW, MEI IS THROWING SOME MEAN LOOKING CHOPS TO SOLOMON’S CHEST! I BELIEVE THAT I CAN SEE IT GOING A BIT PINK! MEANWHILE, MEI IS STARTING TO WEAKEN FROM SOLOMON’S PUNCHES! THE TWO OF THEM ARE GETTING AGGRESSIVE WITH EACH PUNCH AND CHOP! STILL, NOT ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET TOPPLED OVER!
Jake Mercer: Solomon Stane manages to knock Mei Sasaki back with an elbow shot the the face! Solomon follows that up with a spin kick and then, a standing shooting star press! MEI GOES DOWN! SOLOMON FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET AS SIERRA BRADFORD SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT – ‘FAIRYTALE KILLER’ LAYS OUT THE 2022 EXTREME ENIGMA ELIMINATION MATCH WINNER! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE DOWN AS SIERRA PULLS MEI SASAKI CLOSER TO HER CORNER! MEANWHILE, KIRK REDWOOD IS BEGGING FOR A TAG! KIRK GETS A TAG!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: Sierra Bradford tags herself in the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: This match is going how it began! Sierra Bradford and Kirk Redwood run towards each other as Kirk looks to go for a clothesline, but Sierra ducks the clothesline as she runs to the horizontal set of ropes, springboards off of them and connects with a moonsault as that takes Kirk down! Sierra with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood with a kick out! Sierra Bradford is finding her way back to her feet! She stalks Kirk up to his feet as she runs after the ‘Unkillable’ and connects with a spinning heel kick – NO, KIRK DUCKS THE SPINNING HEEL KICK AS SIERRA STUMBLES FORWARD! KIRK GRABS SIERRA AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘BASTARDPLEX’ – THE WRIST CLUTCH BACK SUPLEX AS THAT SENDS ‘THE KILLER QUEEN’ BACK! SIERRA IS CLUTCHING HER BACK AS SHE FINDS HERSELF UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! Kirk follows that up with an uppercut that sends Sierra back! Kirk connects with another uppercut and another uppercut! Sierra is sent back to the vertical set of ropes!

SOLOMON CALLS THAT ‘CALL OF THE VOID’ AS THAT SENDS MEI BACK TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! SOLOMON RUNS AFTER MEI, BUT MEI HOLDS DOWN THE ROPES AS SOLOMON TOPPLES TO THE OUTSIDE! NOW, MEI USES THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ONTO SOLOMON ON THE OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: KIRK REDWOOD PICKS SIERRA BRADFORD UP AND HE HOPES OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE WAITS FOR SIERRA TO TURN TO FACE HIM AS HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR THE SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH – ‘.50 CAL’ ON SIERRA!
Jake Mercer: ‘PRIMA DONNA’ – THE BIG BOOT TO KIRK REDWOOD FROM MID-AIR AS KIRK FALLS STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR! SIERRA BRADFORD WITH THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Run This Town’ plays once again as the crowd explodes in boos as Sierra Bradford rises to her feet. Mei Sasaki joins Sierra inside the ring as the referee holds each hand and raises them up in the air.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH…THE QUEEN BEES!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Sierra Bradford gets the victory for The Queen Bees! It was an excellent performance by all four Elitists in this match, but it’s the queens that stand tall tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Off-Brand Amphetamines would have loved to win tonight, but it was just a matter of timing and precision. The Queen Bees saw their opinion and took advantage of it.
Jake Mercer: Off-Brand Amphetamines proving to be a shining light in the tag team division, but The Queen Bees continue to make this division theirs. Congrats to the Queen Bees!
[SCREENBAR – Earlier this week; EAW Headquarters, Newark, New Jersey]
(Eventually, as the Dynasty broadcast would fade in from the darkness of commercial break, a few seconds of silence indicating the return of the show, fans would be seated in the arena as they stare at the titantron, before it begins to play a video. The camera cuts to the exterior of EAW Headquarters, the EAW logo plastered right on the very top alongside a flag featuring the same logo. We pan across the glass-filled building, before eventually, we fade inside, as we see none other than Molly Waters standing a large television screen, displaying the EAW logo itself.)
Molly Waters: Ladies and Gentlemen we are just over seven days away from the much anticipated Grand Rampage event, where Elitists will battle each other to determine exactly how Pain For Pride will look, shaping up the event in both minor and major ways. Title matches, grudge matches, all in the hopes of punching your ticket in the show of shows; the event being headlined by thirty different Elitists across each brand, vying for a shot in the main event of Pain For Pride itself! A historic event, the namesake of the show itself, the Grand Rampage match. Thirty Elitists will enter, twenty-nine of them will be sent over the top rope, with both feet hitting the ground, and there will be only ONE winner. A career-cementing match, where the winner will never walk out on the same level they went in; it is only up from there. It is definitely one you’re not gonna want to miss. Across every other brand, it’s been made very apparent what Showdown and Voltage bring to the show in terms of competition, undoubtedly stacked, but tonight I’d like to take time to give some insight on the Dynasty brand.
Molly Water: I’d love to give an in-depth run down of each and every Elitist that is competing for Dynasty in the Grand Rampage match.
(On the screen, a Grand Rampage-styled graphic featuring none other than Joso would begin to play. We would see him connect with multiple moves, such as when he hit ‘Heavens Gates’ on Sierra Bradford to retain the EAW Interwire Championship at Road To Redemption. Eventually, as we see Joso posing during his entrance, we cut back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: First up, we have ‘The New Era’; Joso. Debuting for Elite Answers Wrestling just over a year ago, Joso has climbed up the ranks rapidly and found himself as a very successful Elitist. A mainstay of the Dynasty brand, Joso is a multi-time MVE Award winner, a former Interwire Champion defeating Andre Walker and Ruler in a triple threat, and the inaugural winner of the EAW New Era Classic Tournament. Heading into his second Pain For Pride, there is absolutely no doubt that Joso would love to top his accolade of yesteryear, by main eventing the show itself, and defeating either Limmy Monaghan or Scott Diamond for the World Heavyweight Championship if he were to pick that Championship. Entering his very first Grand Rampage match, perhaps a daring rookie mind is what could grant Joso the victory!
(Eventually, the screen would flash up yet another graphic, as we catch a glimpse of Ruler. Connecting with multiple moves, we see him defend his New Breed Championship against Mei Sasaki and Caroline on screen, before it eventually pans to a shot of Ruler seated in the very center of the ring, staring on at the Dynasty crowd. Before long, we cut back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Meanwhile, from one member of the aforementioned ‘New Era’; we have ‘The Revolutionizer’; Ruler. Debuting just a month after Joso, Ruler has found himself just as successful as the latter, but is deeply desiring for more. With goals such as winning a secondary and world EAW Championship, to eventually reach Hall of Fame status; the former EAW New Breed Champion looks to win this Grand Rampage match to continue his hot streak this season! Defeating the likes of Alex Myers, Caroline, and Mei Sasaki, Ruler is the embodiment of what it is like to be a promising New Breeder, and now, he looks to transform “New Breeder” into top, marquee talent, heading into Pain For Pride just one year removed from a loss; perhaps this time around he could cement himself in the main event, and perhaps even World Champion?
(Next up, we see footage of Axel Graves, a montage of clips from his matches on Dynasty, as we see him connect with the ‘Badlands Bomb’, ‘Tour of the Boonies’, ‘To the Sky’ alongside many, many more moves. We even see footage from his Operation Doomsday matchup, his very first EAW marquee, as he took on Jay Jerry Johnson, Shane Gates, Kioga Leoso, and Jamie Cross. Eventually, we see a clip of his entrance pose, before cutting back to Molly.)
Molly Waters: The trend of New Breeders continues, as we have the most recent addition to the roster in this list; ‘Big Country’ Axel Graves! Though, despite having only one Marquee under his name, Axel Graves could very well shock the world as he enters the Grand Rampage match! Many people may consider him a dark horse, an underdog in this match, but don’t be so sure to write him out! A successful name in the indies; Axel intends to bring that same success here, to EAW, by winning the Grand Rampage match!
(Moments later, we fade out as we see an image of Solomon Stane performing his entrance pose. We cut to him holding up the EAW Unified Tag Team Championship, a former Champion in his own right, alongside many of his signature maneuvers. We cut to his match at Operation Doomsday as he, Milli Banks and Kirk Redwood came out victorious against The Queen Bees and Madison Kaline, no doubt an impressive victory. Then, we return back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Next up, we have one half of the extremely successful ‘Off-Brand Amphetamines’ tag team; the ‘Soldier of Sanity’; Solomon Stane! Just a year ago, Solomon Stane made his first appearance in any Grand Rampage match, and while an unsuccessful attempt, that experience and humbling would no doubt help him in this affair, and perhaps give him an edge over the other competitors in the match! Almost two years into his career, Solomon Stane has found himself a former EAW Unified Tag Team Champion with his tag team partner, Kirk Redwood, even defending the titles at the show of shows, Pain For Pride! Which leads me to…
(We then cut to none other than Kirk Redwood, Solomon Stane’s tag team partner, as we see his perspective of everything listed before. We see him holding the EAW Unified Tag Team Championship, we see him connect with his signature maneuvers, and we see him brawl with the likes of Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford at Operation: Doomsday, eventually cutting to him and Solomon Stane standing tall at the end of it.)
Molly Waters: Solomon Stane’s tag team partner, ‘Unkillable’ Kirk Redwood! Just like Solomon, last year he competed in the Grand Rampage match that was eventually won by Impact, and just like Solomon, he has that experience, he has the humbling, and perhaps they both even have the numbers game on their side! He, just like Solomon, has experience as Champion, as he was the man that held the Unified Tag Team Championships with Solomon, and though it may not be together, Kirk Redwood could continue that trend, as he is a good bet to win the Grand Rampage before going on to main event Pain For Pride!
(Next up on screen, we cut to none other than ‘The Heart & Soul of Dynasty’ Bronson Daniels. We see him perform his entrance pose on the top of the stage, before we cut to him connecting his signature moves, such as the patented ‘Batman Punch’ on Ruler just last week, alongside the ‘Flying Bronsons’, the ‘Savage Mode’ and the ‘Chrome Heart Tags’; all moves that have become synonymous with Bronson Daniels and his style in the ring. We see him hold up the EAW Interwire Championship, before we fade back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Perhaps a man many deem to be among the favorites to win the entire match, next up we have an EXTREMELY successful Elitist; Bronson Daniels! The last time he competed in a Grand Rampage match was three years ago, in the 2020 Grand Rampage match, where instead of 30 Elitists it was 40, and although he only racked up a single elimination, for a first-timer he definitely did not put in a bad performance whatsoever. But now, a much more experienced wrestler, and a two-time Champion; having won none other than the EAW New Breed Championship and the EAW Interwire Championship, Bronson Daniels has perhaps crafted himself into the type of Elitist that WOULD win a match like this. With unbeatable stamina, and a heart that refuses to give up; could Bronson Daniels win it all?
(Next up, a graphic for Shane Gates would play on the screen, before cutting to him standing at the very top of the stage. We see Shane Gates connect with multiple of his signature moves; ‘Aces High’ ‘Heartless Demise’ ‘Suffer As One’ and ‘Sin’s Delight’ – we see footage of Shane Gates living up to his nickname, and being one of the most dangerous men in the ring. Eventually, we cut to another shot of Shane Gates at the top of the entrance, posing, before we cut back to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Next up on the list we have ‘The Natural Born Killer’, ‘The Psychopathic Monster’ – Shane Gates! Shane Gates has had a storied tenure in EAW, and perhaps even one of the most experienced here, having duked it out with top names such as Ms. Extreme, Holly Arrow, among many more across the Voltage and Dynasty brand in recent years, this week hitting his five-year anniversary in the company. Perhaps being among the strongest in EAW, standing 6ft 3, with experience on his side, he may surprise the world, and win the Grand Rampage match, shooting his shot at Pain For Pride, fulfilling his goal of leaving his opponents in a broken mess. All 29 of them!
(Finally, we fade out and display footage of perhaps the most successful name in the match; ‘The Mistress of Death’ – Madison Kaline! We cut to her pose on the top of the ramp, before showing multiple shots of her metaphorically cutting Elitists’ heads off with the ‘Afterlife’ Clothesline from Hell, knocking her opponents inside out. We cut to Madison Kaline holding up the EAW Women’s World Championship, alongside winning the 2017 Empress of Elite tournament, before cutting to her entrance pose once more. Then, we return to Molly Waters.)
Molly Waters: Lastly, we have one of the biggest names in this company. A storied career, dating back years ago, ‘The Mistress of Death’ Madison Kaline is undoubtedly among the favorites to win this match. Returning to the ring just over a year ago today, Madison Kaline has found herself in plenty of heated feuds, such as a Pain for Pride victory, the first challenger for Andre Walker’s Undisputed Interwire World Heavyweight Championship, and facing off against Sienna Jade at Road To Redemption; Madison Kaline, a former EAW Women’s World Champion, a former EAW Vixen’s Champion, 2018 Unified Women’s World Champion of the year, 2018 Women’s Match of the Year, and the 2018 Hall of Fame class; Madison Kaline brings accolades, experience, and drive to this match, looking to cement her legacy in the main event of Pain For Pride!
Molly Waters: Overall, we have eight competitors from the Dynasty brand, eight Elitists that are looking to make a name for themselves, or looking to cement their name in history, eight Elitists that are looking to win it all. Could it be Joso? Could it be Ruler? Could it be Axel, Solomon, Kirk, Bronson, Shane? Or could it be Madison Kaline? Don’t rule out any of them, in just one week, April 16th; at Grand Rampage!
(As Molly utters those final words, she smiles at the camera, as this pre-recorded video footage comes to a close. It fades out to darkness, as the camera fades to elsewhere…)
( A commercial airs featuring Nature Nate’s Honey! In this commercial we see the Queen Bees members Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford dressed up as bees! Nature Nate’s Honey is organic, raw and unfiltered. Make sure to pick up your Nature Nate’s Honey today! )
( Returning from a commercial break, Friday Night Dynasty continues live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne hits through the speakers, announcing the arrival of the “World Boss” Milli Banks! Milli earns a positive reception from the Philadelphia faithful— but a small portion of the crowd is showering her in jeers. This could be pertaining to what went down last week between her and the woman that she’ll be facing at Grand Rampage, ARIA! We witnessed an intense back-and-forth, one that ended with Milli sucker-punching the unsuspecting Specialists champion. Back to the now, Milli struts out onto the ramp and she is dressed for competition— she’s facing a legend in the form of Cameron Ella Ava shortly but it appears she has something on her mind before that long-anticipated encounter! “New York’s Finest” saunters down to the ring, ensuring that she poses for the odd photograph with some of the younger audience members in the front row. She gestures for a microphone from a ringside attendant and once that’s handled, the audience simmers down and Milli Banks raises the microphone up before her face. )
Milli Banks: You see, it’s that reaction right there. That little minority of you out there who are booing me, booing what I did to ARIA last week. From your perspective, I get it. ARIA is somebody who deserves respect. At Road to Redemption, she overcame the odds and won the Specialists Championship and since then, she has done so much for the underappreciated members of this promotion’s women’s division. So when I laid her out last week I can understand why you would want to boo me. But you haven’t heard my side. You haven’t heard my story. I respect ARIA, she’s on a good little run and she’s elevated not only herself, but the Ice Aces and the women that she has faced, also. But respect is a two-way street and people, I have to say that I don’t think ARIA realizes the threat that’s standing right in front of her.
Milli Banks: Take what she said about me last week as an example. She said she’s been scouting talent and she’s excited to face me, which is fair. But she brought you fans into the conversation last week. She said that I let you down, that I let every single one of you down when I didn’t win the Specialists Championship at Justified Reckoning, and then again at Road to Redemption even though she saw first hand how I was cheated. The Queen Bees, they targeted me and made it their life mission to prevent me from taking that championship. At Road to Redemption, ARIA did well to win. But if Sierra and Mei hadn’t interfered? I’d have been the one standing tall in China. I’d be the one today, perhaps facing ARIA at Grand Rampage and putting /my/ championship on the line. But that didn’t pan out for me.
Milli Banks: ARIA is a formidable champion, I’m not taking Grand Rampage lightly. But she hasn’t been through the turmoil that I’ve been through. She hasn’t dealt with a cancer like the Queen Bees month in, month out. Now I’ve finally got them off of my back? I’m coming for the opportunity I should have claimed months ago. While ARIA was fighting the likes of Lexi, I was teaming with a legend in Cameron Ella Ava at King of Elite. I was putting this face all over the map and becoming the forefront, the future, of Friday Night Dynasty. She’s tried to put me down when I’ve shown her respect, so I needed to show her. Show her that I aren’t Lexi, that I’m someone who she should be taking seriously. What I did last week was out of character, but it was also a necessity. ARIA will think twice before belittling me, and hopefully the bruises I left on her face will serve as a reminder that she isn’t above being smacked in the mouth.
Milli Banks: This is the biggest challenge she is going to face so far in her reign but if you listened to her speak last week, you would think she’s already faced them all. She believes she’s untouchable, and the confidence and cockiness that comes with holding a championship is getting to her. I’m not going to shock the world at Grand Rampage— you all know how good I am and that’s why a mere two months into my time in this company, I was getting title shots and showing up on posters. But I am going to shock ARIA, I’m going to swipe that Specialists Championship from her grasp and then finally, finally deliver on my promises. Promises of becoming the “it” girl in this company. Promises of becoming—
( KJSDSKJADKJGGSLKHADSGLKH— ‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida hits the speakers and the crowd goes unglued! ARIA is here, the Specialists champion has arrived and with this comes the realization— she and Milli Banks will be sharing a wrestling ring again! The tension, cut through it with a knife! The pure star power, I’m going to faint! ARIA walks out onto the stage and lifts her Specialists Championship up high to a roar from the crowd! Milli watches on intently as ARIA begins to make her way down the ramp, heading straight towards the ring. ARIA takes in a moment to soak in the love from the crowd, a wide and genuine smile on her face. She gets into the ring and walks past Milli, hopping onto the turnbuckle corner and raising her title hgh once again! The crowd is eating it up! ARIA takes a microphone from the ringside assistant and turns to face Milli as the audience simmer down, watching with bated breath. )
ARIA: I can see that you’re a little on edge, Milli. You’re probably having second thoughts, you probably regret attacking me last week because you know, I’d be within my right to retaliate right now. But you can relax. Some of us have class, I don’t want to fight you tonight. We’ll save that for Grand Rampage, a bigger stage, where I can show you and the world that, no. Milli Banks isn’t the “chosen” one. And all of those people who were clamoring for you? Simply didn’t see my potential or what I can do in this ring. I can respect you attacking me last week, you stood your ground. But it also shows I got under your skin, it shows your true character and that beneath the mask, you’re not as confident in yourself as you make things out to be.
ARIA: I have grown so much in the past six months. Going from the third wheel in the Ice Aces to the Specialists champion of the world. Beating big, big names in this women’s division and showing that— when the world wanted Serenity Valdez and Milli Banks? There was a bigger threat lurking in the waters. Now, I’m thought of alongside yourself and Serenity, thought of as the future of this women’s division and the things I’m doing as champion validate that. You can deny it all you like. Say I’m a fake champion, say that you’re destined to win this. But we’ve heard this song-and-dance all before, that Milli Banks’ is inevitable. When I called you a failure last week, it wasn’t to disrespect you. It was just the truth, and at Grand Rampage again, for all your beliefs and your efforts are worth it, you’ll end the night a failure again.
ARIA: The truth hurts, Milli. You’ve had two shots at this belt, and if you failed to win on your third chance then these fans? They’d lose all belief in you. I recognise you’re talented, we’ve faced before and I’ve seen you in action and I’ve never denied your skills. I know at Grand Rampage that I am in for one heck of a time. A lot of what you’re saying is true, but that applies both ways. You can’t smear me and discredit me and deny everything I’m saying. You don’t have a good track record when it comes to big matches, I was an afterthought at Road to Redemption— but I didn’t win because you had an off day, or because the Queen Bees got themselves involved, no. I won because of who I am and how good I am. And you’re going to have to accept that quickly if you stand a chance of toppling me at Grand Rampage.
ARIA: What you have shown is you have the potential but in the big moments you’re incapable of getting it over the line. Title shot after title shot, Milli, you’re scrappy— but at Grand Rampage I’m going to have that champion’s difference. I’m going to have the experience of knowing what needs to be done, what lengths need to be gone to, in hopes of getting it across the line. You can say you’re motivated and this is “your time” all you like. But we’re in for a war, this is the big leagues and for all of that confidence? When the spotlight is the brightest, only one of the women standing in this ring have been able to win this Specialists Championship.
( Goosebumps, sheer goosebumps. The audience are eating this up, as two hungry, competitive women wage war on the microphone. They’re both confident in their words, but at Grand Rampage one of these illusions shall fall. Milli Banks shakes her head from side-to-side, chuckling to herself as she begins to pace the ring. The crowd breaks out into chants— they’re split! Some for Milli and some for ARIA. Mili eventually comes to a halt. She raises the microphone up and takes a couple of steps towards ARIA. )
Milli Banks: Okay, okay. I bet you’re pretty proud of yourself for that one, huh? I’m going to stomp you at Grand Rampage, ARIA. Talk about this “championship difference” all you like, I’m telling you. So many barriers have been placed in front of me. So many obstacles and I’ve overcome each-and-every one of them. You want to talk about my failures? You’re having one of the most forgettable-ass championship reigns this company has ever seen. Because you’re not a star. Because you’re not important. You’re a great wrestler, but Elite Answers Wrestling is about far more than wrestling. In a year from now, you’ll be entrenched deep into the middle of this women’s division while I’ll be bossing it, I’ll be on top, owning it. I respect you, but stop belittling me and acting like there’s levels between us. Because there aren’t, and if anything I’m more talented now than you ever have been or you ever will be.
ARIA: Well, like I said last week, I suppose we’ll find out at Grand Rampage. We’ll find out if Milli Banks is really the future figurehead she thinks she is, or the failure-in-waiting that I, and the rest of these women, KNOW she is.
Milli Banks: ARIA, look. I just got out of a long, scarring feud. I don’t need this, we don’t need this and I feel like the two of us got off on the wrong foot. I don’t mean to bitch you. I have a lot of respect for your technique, and you’re right. It does get under my skin, because you of all people should know what it’s like to be underestimated and spoken down to. It sucks. Because you’ve done so much for this division when holding that belt, so when you call me a failure and write me off like I don’t have a chance against you, that’s unbecoming of you and it’s out of character. Can we just put this behind us and try to have a good match at Grand Rampage?
( Milli Banks offers out a hand to ARIA, whose eyebrow visibly cocks. Milli is speaking to ARIA but this isn’t audible as she’s shifted the microphone over to her other hand. The crowd are cheering for this— they’re fans of both ARIA and Milli, and they want to see these differences squashed so at Grand Rampage, the two will only have to focus on their wrestling. )
ARIA: Sure, Milli. I can appreciate that. Let’s put the drama aside and just focus on giving all of these people a wrestling match for the ages. May the best woman win!
( ARIA reaches out her hand, and the two women shake hands to great elation! There’s a tense staredown, but both women nod their head and release their hands from the shake. Then ARIA would— )
Jake Mercer: AND MILLI BANKS WITH A RIGHT HAND, BUT ARIA HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE AND SHE BLOCKS IT! ARIA saw this coming, the same blueprint as last week!
Stew-O: ARIA tosses her Specialists Championship aside and now the two women are exchanging forearms! Punches! Punches! ARIA tags Milli and she’s on ice skates now. ARIA slips in behind and is looking for a Suplex! But Milli with a strong elbow, catching ARIA on the jawline and wobbling her.
Flannary McCoy: The crowd don’t know what to make of this, but seeing as Milli has tried to launch another attack on the unsuspecting ARIA, I dare say they’re clamoring behind the championship right now!
Jake Mercer: Milli snatches ARIA and gets her into a headlock, but ARIA is able to squirm out of the hold! She runs the ropes, Milli attempts to take her down with a lariat but she ducks underneath while picking up steam, Milli turns on her heels and—
Stew-O: Running bicycle kick! The J4A! Justice for all stuns Milli and she drops like a heap of bricks onto the canvas. Could we see this play out at Grand Rampage?!
( The crowd are split pertaining to this brawl. ARIA dropped Milli Banks with a bicycle kick and she went out, right in the middle of the ring! ARIA walks over and picks up her Specialists Championship of which she dropped in the melee. She gestures using Milli as a doormat before vacating the ring! What a sequence! Milli begins to come to— but this isn’t the worst of it. It’d seem she’d be starting her match off against Cameron at quite the disadvantage! From here we cut to another commercial break on the show. But the Specialists Championship match scheduled for Grand Rampage just got a whole lot hotter! )
(A commercial is shown for the Specialists Championship match between ARIA and Milli Banks at Grand Rampage.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back in from a brief commercial break while ‘Changed It’ is heard playing through the speakers. The referee is checking on Milli Banks who is leaning against the corner, displeased at what just went down before the break. The Specialists Champion ARIA had laid her out and she was still recovering from that, and while she was bound to respond to it at a later time, right now she had other priorities to take care of as she took off her entrance gear and denied any form of assistance, preparing for her match while Stephie Love entered the ring with a microphone in hand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring… from Brooklyn, New York… weighing in at 135 pounds… ‘THE SUPERNOVA’… MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn is then heard following that while the camera goes over from the ring to the stage to show Cameron Ella Ava begin to make her way out from the backstage area. She has a smirk on her face while she spreads her arms out, doing a little twirl while the crowd cheers loudly for the EAW Hall of Famer, before then beginning to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 140 pounds… ‘THE SERPENT’… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go as this match between two of Dynasty’s top female Elitists is officially underway, as both Cameron and Milli begin to make their way around the ring. The two of them teamed with one another a couple months back at King of Elite, but now find themselves across the ring from each other with nothing to hold back and a statement to be made heading into the Grand Rampage Marquee Event. And you can’t help but ponder on the factors that play into this match, like Milli being laid out by ARIA earlier, or Serenity’s warning earlier in the night that she might get herself involved in this match!
Flannery McCoy: Well that’s a wait and see moment if I’ve ever heard one, but it’s certainly going to be fun that’s all I can say. Both Cameron and Milli begin to approach one another, and lock up in a collar-and-elbow! The two of them viciously jockey for position, absolutely relentless on their side of the field. Cameron pushes Milli into the corner, but she turns her around and gets her into the corner instead. The referee is about to force a break, but they’re pushed out of the corner as Cameron gets her to the center of the ring and locks in a headlock! She plants her feet to the ground trying to weaken Milli early, but she isn’t having it as she sends Cameron to the ropes and back… ONLY FOR CAMERON TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING LARIAT TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Milli rolls backward and up to a knee, a smirk on her face as she pushes herself back up to her feet. The two of them begin to circle around the ring again, and it seems like they’re going to lock up- But you can’t trust a snake as Cameron slips through and sends a shot to the face of Milli to force her backward! She’s sent back, BUT TRIES FOR A CLOTHESLINE- Only for Cameron to duck under it and send her to the ropes instead… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HER CHEST TO DROP HER!
Stew-O: Cameron gets herself back up to her feet, and she needed to find a way to get the offense early and she certainly got it. Milli pulls herself up to a kneeling position, BUT CAMERON GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HER TO THE GROUND- NO! Milli sends a shot to the abdomen to stop that attack! She strikes again forcing Cameron to let go and step back, BEFORE THE HALL OF FAMER TRIES FOR A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE- Only for Milli to push that away! Milli gets back up to her feet while Cameron dips down to a knee, GRABBING HER BY THE HEAD AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Cameron is brought up to a seated position while Milli instantly goes down and locks her into a seated headlock! She tries to take her down to the canvas but Cameron holds her own, already planting her feet and pushing upward in an attempt to get herself back up to her feet. Milli knows that this won’t do the trick but the longer she keeps this in the more of an effect it’s going to have on her, so you can see her try her hardest to continue to drop her weight and take her back down to the canvas. But Cameron has practically superhuman strength in this situation, quickly getting back up before sending a couple of elbows to the gut of Milli in return to get her to loosen her grip so that she can get out of this hold!
Jake Mercer: Milli is stopped as she attempts to swing at her, but before she can do that Cameron blocks with her forearms! This leaves Milli vulnerable, WHILE CAMERON BOOTS HER IN THE FACE! This sends her backward and against the ropes while she runs toward her… BUT MILLI CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE TO STOP WHATEVER SHE HAD IN MIND! She then grabs her by the leg and takes her down to the ground, LOOKING TO SEND HER INTO THE ROPES WITH A SLINGSHOT!
Stew-O: BUT CAMERON REACHES OUT AND GRABS HER BY THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HER INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MILLI SEES IT COMING AND KICKS OUT! She gets back up to her feet, WHILE CAMERON GOES FOR A HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD- But Milli sees it coming and manages to duck under that, WHILE GOING UNDER AND GRABBING HER OTHER LEG BEFORE PULLING HER DOWN TO THE MAT FACEFIRST! Cameron rolls onto her back, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND TRYING FOR A METEORA TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE!
Jake Mercer: This match has been back and forth so far, but that also means more of a chance for one of them to make a mistake and the other to take advantage. They know that they have to keep their foot on the gas pedal if they don’t want their chances of winning this match to be compromised. Milli rolls back up to her feet, rearing her head before grabbing a hold of Cameron and bringing her back up as well. She winds her up… BEFORE GOING FOR A RIPCORD SLAP TO THE FACE- Only for Cameron to duck under that and connect with an uppercut to the jaw! That was the setup for ‘Money Moves’, but Cameron saw that coming and avoided it before she could get herself in any more trouble.
Stew-O: Milli stumbles backward, BUT RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS ONTO CAMERON’S SHOULDERS IN A HURRICANRANA ATTEMPT- BUT MILLI KEEPS HER UP! Cameron tries to get herself out of such a precarious position, BUT MILLI RUSHES HER FORWARD AND SENDS HER INTO THE CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! Cameron bounces off, BEFORE MILLI PRESSES HER SOLE AGAINST HER FACE AND TAKES CAMERON DOWN WITH AN INSULT TO INJURY! ‘BANK ROLL’ DROPS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WHILE MILLI ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND TRIES FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CAMERON KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE! Quick move to take Cameron out by Milli, but it just wasn’t enough to keep her down for long. She slowly begins to rise back up to her feet while Milli circles around the ring, taking a moment to catch her breath. She then makes her way over, pulling her in and setting her up, TRYING FOR A SNAP SUPLEX! But Cameron slips out of it mid-execution and manages to land behind her! She grabs her around the waist, GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- But Milli connects with a back elbow shot to the face! This sends her back while Milli turns around, ONLY FOR CAMERON TO TURN AROUND HERSELF AND LAUNCH OFF THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Cameron is feeling it now as she waits for Milli to get back up to her feet, which is what she slowly begins to do. Milli is clearly trying to make sure none of this offense continues forward, but it’s been made apparent that it’s easier said than done. She manages to get back up to her feet and tries to compose herself, WHILE CAMERON RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD- ONLY FOR MILLI TO DUCK UNDER THAT- JUST FOR CAMERON TO SPIN AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’ CONNECTS TAKING MILLI DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE CAMERON ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A QUICK PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT MILLI MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT ONE! She refuses to let up and Cameron realizes that as she slowly pulls herself back up to a seated position. She shakes off the fatigue that surely has to be kicking in right now before then beginning to get herself back up to a vertical base. On the other hand, Milli has reached out toward the bottom turnbuckle padding, pulling himself closer toward it in hopes of recovering. But Cameron is already turned around to face her, RUSHING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A HARD RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Milli is hurt and Cameron grabs her by the arm and brings her out of the corner, GRABBING HER AROUND THE WAIST AND RAMMING HER BACK INTO IT! Milli is in a world of pain, while she tries to send strikes down onto the top of Cameron, but she absorbs the blows before then turning Milli around and sending her down toward the center of the ring. Milli tries to get back up to a kneeling position, but Cameron isn’t just going to let her do that as she rushes forward… BEFORE LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR WITH AN ‘AVACADABRA’! SHINING WIZARD TO THE FACE OF MILLI WHILE SHE TRIES TO RECOVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT, IT’S MILLI THAT MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! Cameron takes a hard tumble to the ground but manages to get back up, ONLY FOR MILLI TO GRAB HER BY THE HEAD AND TAKE HER DOWN WITH A QUICK STO! Milli rolls her onto her back before beginning to unload on her with repeated forearm strikes to the face! She refuses to let up and she’s not going to let Cameron get the better of her! Cameron shoves her away and rolls to the ropes to create distance between the two of them, BUT MILLI IS ALREADY BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE KNOCKS HER OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE!
Stew-O: Milli gets back up to her feet while Cameron takes a hard landing at ringside, trying to get back up to her feet while Milli turns and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LAUNCHING HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! She takes Cameron out on the outside before grabbing her by the head and rolling her back in once again, jumping onto the apron and entering into the ring. She makes her way over to Cameron who is trying to get back up to her feet, grabbing her by the head, only for Cameron to fire back with an elbow to the abdomen! She gets back up and grabs Milli by the head, only for Milli to send a shot to her face!
Flannery McCoy: And now the two of them are going at one another, back and forth! Cameron! Milli! Cameron! Milli! Cameron! Milli! But before long it’s Cameron that manages to connect with a sharp knee to the abdomen! She turns around and runs to the ropes and back, ONLY FOR MILLI TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND TRY FOR A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST- But Cameron sees it coming and halts her momentum in place before pushing her legs away! Milli is taken down to the mat, and before she can get back up it’s Cameron that steps forward and stomps down violently onto the spine of Milli! She’s not done though, AS SHE LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Cameron then grabs her by the head and brings her back up to her feet, looking to set her up for another move to finish her off right now… SNAPMARE FACEBREAKER! ‘SNAPBACK’!
Jake Mercer: BUT MILLI MANAGES TO PUSH CAMERON AWAY BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND RUNNING FORWARD, ‘NO FAKE BILLS HERE’! MILLI RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH THE RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE TO TAKE CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Milli has Cameron down on the mat but doesn’t intend on going for the pin, instead taking a moment to recover while waiting for Cameron to get back up to her feet. This is the opportunity that she needs to close this match out and she’s going to take it. Cameron uses the ropes to get herself back up to her feet before then beginning to make her way over to the center of the ring…
Flannery McCoy: MILLI LAUNCHES THROUGH THE AIR WHILE STILL KEEPING A HOLD OF CAMERON, GOING FOR ‘BANKRUPT’! SALIDA DEL SOL!
Jake Mercer: WAIT! CAMERON MANAGES TO PLANT HER FEET TO THE GROUND AND KEEP HERSELF UPRIGHT BEFORE PLACING MILLI ONTO HER SHOULDERS…
Stew-O: ‘NO BODY, NO CRIME’! FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER COMPLETELY TAKES MILLI OUT! CAMERON LAUNCHES FORWARD AND HOOKS THE LEG, THIS COULD VERY WELL BE IT FOR THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

…
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE WAS JUST PULLED OUT OF THE RING!
(In an instant, the referee’s ankle is snatched before he can do the three count as he’s yanked out of the ring and is taken out momentarily. He lies flat on the ground while the camera pans up to show the perpetrator… Serenity Valdez. The crowd boos loudly for what’s happening right now, meanwhile Cameron has no idea what just happened inside of the ring. She pulls herself up to a kneeling position…)
Jake Mercer: ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’! RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TAKES CAMERON OUT! SHE GETS CAMERON UP AGAIN…
Stew-O: BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER ‘HIT THE LIGHTS FOR GOOD MEASURE!
(Cameron is out, while Serenity grabs the arm of Milli and drags it over before throwing it over her. She then rolls out of the ring, scooping the referee up and rolling him back in as well. The referee, coming back to his senses, also with zero clue of what just happened himself, sees the pin, and starts to count.)
OOONNNEEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Changed It’ begins to blast through the speakers once again while Milli Banks is still completely knocked out over the body of Cameron Ella Ava. Serenity Valdez doesn’t waste any time though, sliding back into the ring and kicking Milli away…)
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: OH! SERENITY WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE SPINE OF CAMERON! AND NOW SERENITY IS JUST BEGINNING TO UNLOAD ON HER REPEATEDLY WITH MULTIPLE CHAIR SHOTS! SHE’S HAD ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING AND LOOKS TO SEND A MESSAGE TO HER GRAND RAMPAGE OPPONENT HERE TONIGHT!
(Serenity drops the chair down on the ground, muttering to herself in frustration while bringing Cameron back up to her feet and looking to set her up for something right here…)
Jake Mercer: ‘MORALITY’S EDGE’ ONTO THE CHAIR! TEQUILA SHOT DROPS CAMERON OUT COLD AND SERENITY STANDS TALL! IS THIS WHAT WE’LL BE SEEING NEXT WEEK IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS???
(Serenity looks down at Cameron while the official tries his best to escort her backward. She shoves him away though, staring at the hard camera and raising her arms into the air while the crowd boos loudly for the Empress of Elite. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Ronan Malosi Comedy Tour.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with the Philadelphia crowd being met by ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa [DUB] playing up. They burst into deafening cheers with the camera going over to reveal World Heavyweight Champion Limmy Monaghan making his way out from Gorilla Position. He has his entrance gear on seeing as though he has a match in the main event shortly with his title resting on his shoulder, but it’s also shown that he has a microphone in hand, possibly looking to get a few words in before his match. He points his fingers into the air with his title in hand while pyro is shown erupting behind him, before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE LEADER’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As we saw last week, Dynasty General Manager Tyrone Montgomery kicked off the show to host a World Heavyweight Championship contract signing between Limmy Monaghan and Scott Diamond. Around the end it got tense between the two opponents, with Scott looking close to ending it by taking him out as per the norm, but they dispersed. It’s not hard to tell the hostility between the two though heading into the event.
Flannery McCoy: Limmy will call a spade a spade, Scott Diamond is one hell of an opponent to be facing, a motivated one at that, and it’s hard to tell what he’s going to have up his sleeve next week in Boston. But he’ll also say that he’s up for that challenge as is any other one that he has to face, and it’s sure going to be interesting to hear what he has on his mind before his match and even more whether or not Scott is going to come out and respond.
Jake Mercer: If I were him, I would know what was good for me and stay silent. This isn’t just any Elitist my dear Flannery, this is ‘The Leader’ Limmy Monaghan! Put some respect on his name and understand that there is just nobody that can compare to him, not even some Hall of Famer trying to recapture former glory, get out of here with that!
(Limmy makes his way around the ring and up the steel steps, heading onto the apron and slipping through the ropes. He takes his title and raises it high into the air while the crowd erupted into cheers in response. He then makes his way over and grabs a microphone from the ringside area, beginning to make his way over to the center of the ring while ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ comes to a close. Limmy, after letting the crowd quiet down, brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak from there.)
Limmy Monaghan: It really isn’t in my best interest to do what everyone does when they have a microphone in their hand inside the ring, which is to recap what happened last week and give my certainly long awaited response to such. But of course, seeing as though Scott Diamond and I had a few choice words to say to one another, and it’s a week until our match against one another for the World Heavyweight Championship at Grand Rampage, I can’t really avoid that now, can I? I’ve heard what he had to say, and I gave myself the entire week to let it sink in, but even then I can’t find myself buying what he’s selling. Sure, base level, Scott is back and better than ever! He’s not here for the money, he’s here for the competition and reigniting that spark that made him an EAW Hall of Famer in the first place! I think that much we got out of what he said, but even then I can’t find myself believing that this match means as much to him as he says it does. At first sure, because when he came out to the ring for the first time to face me the one thing that he said was that he wanted my title, and to that I said you do you, because who doesn’t? But then he elaborated, he said he didn’t want the title, he couldn’t give a damn about the World Heavyweight Championship, he just wanted the spot. He wanted the position at the very peak of Friday Night Dynasty that I held, and the piece of leather with metal on it was just secondary to him, could care less. Now if you know me, if you know what this title means to me, you already know that I didn’t sit well with that.
Limmy Monaghan: You see while Scott sat on his couch at the comfort of his home, racking in the royalties checks and getting the occasional match over with, I was out there working my butt off from day one to get to this point. I put my all into what I did, and that’s easy to say because you can look back a year ago or even before all of this, before Road To Redemption, that Limmy Monaghan doesn’t hold a candle to ‘The Leader’ that has taken form since then. I went from being a relegated tag team wrestler and midcard title contender, to a bonafide World Champion, a future EAW Hall of Famer, and the person that’s going to lead this company to the future, and I’m not afraid to admit that. Scott, even in his current form, would never be able to understand that. He would never be able to let that click in his head because he hasn’t been through half of what I have, at least in this decade, he would never understand. This title didn’t come by walking out to the ring and asking for a shot, that’s not my flow, when I first fought for the World Championship this Season, which was when I won it, I made it known that I had undoubtedly earned this opportunity, that I earned this title. So I’m not just the person holding a title, I am the man around here and Scott Diamond is going to learn to respect that in a week’s time. He’ll just be yet another “legend” that I’ve beaten, he’ll be a footnote in history, and I will continue reigning as Champion all the way until Pain For Pride and beyond, because-
???: Thanks for proving me right, Limmy…
(The crowd cheers loudly while the camera goes over to Scott Diamond making his way out from the backstage area. He begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring while Limmy turns his attention to him, watching him make his way down. While he does so, he continues to speak toward him with a serious expression.)
Scott Diamond: You can only measure how good an opponent is off whether or not they hold a title or not. If it was the other way around and I was the World Heavyweight Champion, well then certainly we’d be having a whole different conversation now, am I correct?
(Scott jumps up onto the apron and slips through the ropes, the two opponents coming face-to-face while the crowd murmurs in excitement.)
Scott Diamond: I’m not going to blame you for believing that though, admittingly, that’s the norm around here nowadays. The measuring stick that we’ve grown to use when facing an opponent, I’d be stupid to try and work against the system and find a way to reverse that. I have to run with it, and that’s why I have to win that title. Not for the glory of holding it, not at the moment at least, but to reach the proverbial measuring stick that everyone has placed above my head. My entire time since my return I’ve heard a number of claims against my name that would frustrate anybody, and even after nearly killing myself at Operation: Doomsday I still hear those echoes reverberate around these halls. So I look to put an end to that, and I can only see myself doing so by beating the very best, and becoming the very best as a result. It’s a simple concept really, and I can’t see why it’s so hard for you to comprehend. Does it matter whether I want that title or not? No, and you’re right I don’t understand the pain that you’ve gone through to win this title and I quite frankly don’t care, no offense. And after all of that and you begging us to acknowledge that it’s disappointing that it’s going to end at Grand Rampage with a whimper and you’re going to be left with nothing. Because it’s not just that I know I can beat you, I will beat you, and I have no problem proving that because I have against the people that you looked up to when you were a pre-pubescent teenager years ago, that doesn’t change regardless of the time period that we’re in. In fact I think it’s a lot easier nowadays, but that’s a conversation that we can have another day.
(Limmy shakes his head before looking to respond.)
Limmy Monaghan: I disagree.
Scott Diamond: Of course you do.
Limmy Monaghan: No, no, I disagree completely, because I know for certain that the competition nowadays is a lot tougher than anything that you had to face back then. Don’t just take that from me, take that from the multiple times that you’ve returned. Your match against Lethal Consequences at Pain For Pride, the reason someone like him managed to hold up is because he did something that you couldn’t, and that was to adapt to the climate and the tougher competition that came because of it. That brief stint on Voltage before you disappeared into nothing, you just couldn’t hang. The same could be said for your match against Andre Walker, you were not ready and you are not ready to face the man that beat him at Road To Redemption either. Do you understand?
Scott Diamond: I think I’ve been around long enough at this point to “adapt” to this climate that you’re telling me I’ve been unable to. Congratulations to LC, congratulations to Andre, but there’s a reason I never cared to bring any of those losses up in the first place and why you shouldn’t have either, because that’s a different Scott. That same hindered mindset toward me will end up being your downfall, and don’t expect me to feel any pity for absolutely crushing your dreams right under my feet, because I won’t.
Limmy Monaghan: I’d love to see you prove that to me, because as far as I can see you’re all bark and no bite. You’ve faced them for sure, but you’ve never faced Limmy Monaghan, and that’s going to be something that’s going to end up being your undoing.
(Scott and Limmy stare down one another after Limmy says that, before…)
Stew-O: SCOTT LIFTS LIMMY OFF THE GROUND, ‘THE VORTEX’! F5!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND ESCAPES!
(Scott quickly turns to see Limmy back on his feet, the two of them facing one another once again. Scott doesn’t engage, lowering his hands while Limmy lowers his guard and slowly dips down to pick up his title into his possession. Scott can only smirk at this, saying nothing else before turning around and beginning to make his way out of the ring. Limmy smirks as well, raising his title into the air while the crowd cheers loudly at all of this. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty fades into a brief commercial break before the main event.)
(A commercial is shown for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Limmy Monaghan and Scott Diamond at Grand Rampage.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa [DUB] is heard playing through the speakers of the arena while Limmy Monaghan is seen preparing in his corner. He’s already handed off the World Heavyweight Championship to the official and despite what happened before the break, has his mind set on the task at hand which is this match. Before long ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar is heard following that, with the camera going over from the ring to the stage to show Interwire Champion PJ Hendrx beginning to make his way out to the stage. He has his title raised high into the air while the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. He’s confident here tonight, and looks to get a huge win under his belt alongside a tag team partner that he knows very well, before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring, Stephie Love standing by to announce the match!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen THIS is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a tag team match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Making their way to the ring… the team of EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!! AND EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is then heard following that with the crowd erupting into cheers for Bronson Daniels who is seen making his way out energetically. He has his arms raised in the air as he hypes up the Philadelphia crowd here tonight before looking toward the ring. It’s not long after that in which ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert is then heard following that with Ruler beginning to slowly make his way out. Both him and Bronson stand side by side, looking toward one another with unhappy expressions on their faces, clearly not looking forward to this at all but realizing the common goal at hand as they make their way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… the team of RULER!!!!!!!!!!! AND BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go with our main event of the evening! World Heavyweight Champion Limmy Monaghan and Interwire Champion PJ Hendrx once again find themselves crossing paths this time as a team, going up against the certainly interesting duo of Bronson Daniels and Ruler. Given their interesting interactions these past couple of weeks, it’s certainly going to be something to see whether or not they can co-exist tonight!
Jake Mercer: Surely if it’s for a common cause right? Imagine what you could get out of beating the two top Champions on the Dynasty brand, especially Limmy! I’m telling you, any issues that they have had since the build to Operation: Doomsday I am most certain that they will be able to put that to the side for a common cause.
Flannery McCoy: Well that remains to be seen because I wouldn’t put it past either of them to try and pull something rash in order to make a statement heading into the Grand Rampage match. Limmy is starting this match off for his team, and Ruler the same for his. Both of them make their way out of their corner, but before Limmy can do anything it’s Ruler that steps forward and nails him with a forearm to the face! The World Heavyweight Champion falls against the ropes while Ruler steps forward and begins to unload with a barrage of strikes toward his face to lighten up before this match can get underway! He grabs him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… GRABBING HIM BY THE ARM AND LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG- But Limmy manages to plant his feet to the ground before grabbing Ruler by the head and sending a knee to his abdomen!
Jake Mercer: This forces the former New Breed Champion to relent as he stumbles backward, TRYING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT LIMMY GOES UNDER AND GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND TO GO FOR A DRAGON RUSH- But Ruler manages to break free of that, HE TURNS AROUND AND NAILS HIM AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! Ruler then grabs him by the head, BEFORE SENDING HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
(Ruler dips down to a knee, composing himself after that sequence before pushing himself back up. He eyes Limmy who begins to get up on the outside before beginning to run to the ropes and back while he recovers…)
Stew-O: RULER LAUNCHES THROUGH THE ROPES INTO A SUICIDE DIVE ATTEMPT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY WHILE RULER CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE SHOULDER FIRST! Limmy managed to get out of the way and made Ruler pay dearly, grabbing him and rolling him back into the ring before this fight can completely spill out to the ringside area. Ruler rolls himself back up to a knee and tries to get back up to his feet, but before he can do anything it’s Limmy that lands a right hand to the face before grabbing him by the arm and sending him toward a corner…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: BEFORE GETTING THE TAG OUT TO PJ! Limmy grabs Ruler by the head and takes him down with a quick Snapmare before PJ then proceeds to run to the ropes and back while Ruler is in a seated position… CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! The Interwire Champion isn’t done though as he runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO HIS HEAD!
Stew-O: Definitely not the start that Ruler wants or anticipated either as he rolls toward the bottom rope in an attempt to get back up, but PJ isn’t going to let him off so easily as he grabs him by the arm while he’s leaned against the ropes in an attempt to Irish whip him to the opposite side- But Ruler manages to drop his weight! He keeps himself in place, PULLING IN PJ AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! PJ is stunned but manages to keep himself up to his feet, BUT THAT’S NOT FOR LONG AS RULER GOES UNDER AND GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND NEARLY DECAPITATING HIM WITH SNAKE EYES ONTO THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: PJ bounces off of the ropes and falls hard to the mat, grabbing his throat and gasping for air while Ruler gets him back up to his feet, grabbing him by the arm and sending him toward the corner. He runs forward… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNEE TO THE FACE…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: AND TAGGING OUT TO BRONSON! He enters into the ring while Ruler leaves for the apron, and wastes no time beginning to stomp down hard on his abdomen! Despite their differences, the two of them have shown themselves to be competent teammates in the early going, but how far that will end up going remains to be seen as Bronson continues to stomp down on him before he slouches down to a seated position in the corner. He then turns around and gets a running start… BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD HIM AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO HIS FACE!
Stew-O: BUT PJ MANAGES TO GRAB THE ROPES AND PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! He then slips behind Bronson and grabs him by the waist, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! PJ BRIDGES THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! He gets back up to his feet while PJ does the same, Bronson grabbing him by the arm and sending him to the ropes with an Irish whip… ONLY FOR PJ TO LAUNCH HIMSELF INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM OUT! PJ from there turns around and leaves to the apron, beginning to make his way up to the top rope while Bronson is down… LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND TRYING FOR A FROG SPLASH!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON GETS THE KNEES UP JUST IN TIME! PJ clutches his abdomen while getting dropped down to the ground, and Bronson begins to get back up to his feet, realizing the opportunity that he has right in front of him as he looks to set PJ up… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND TRYING FOR A ‘BATMAN PUNCH’! SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE FACE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND ONCE AGAIN!
Stew-O: BUT PJ NARROWLY MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE THEN TAKES BRONSON DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD BEFORE HE CAN TRY FOR ANYTHING ELSE! Bronson tries to get back up to his feet, WHILE PJ GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LOOKS TO GO FOR SOMETHING IN RETURN! ‘HURRICANE’! INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER TO TAKE DOWN BRONSON!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO FLIP ONTO HIS FEET! HE SPINS AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO PJ TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’ CONNECTS AND BRONSON IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG AND TRIES FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: BUT PJ JUST BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Bronson almost got him there but it wasn’t enough to keep the Interwire Champion down, as he grabs him by the head and begins to heave him back up to his feet. PJ tries his best to fight back, but that ‘Chrome Heart Tags’ took a whole lot out of him and now he’s going to have to try and find a way to fight back. But Bronson slams his head against the turnbuckle padding before reaching his hand out…
(TAG!)
Stew-O: TAGGING RULER IN! Bronson leaves through the ropes while Ruler enters the ring, grabbing PJ into a headlock and beginning to drag him slowly toward the center of the ring. He begins to set him up… LOOKING TO FOLLOW UP ON BRONSON’S OFFENSE WITH A ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS’! DDT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT PJ SENDS A SHOT TO THE ABDOMEN BEFORE REVERSING IT INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX WHICH DROPS RULER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler grabs his spine while he tries to get back up to his feet, TURNING AROUND AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD OF PJ! Only for PJ to duck under that and run to the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW TO TAKE RULER DOWN! PJ then runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A FRONT FLIP SENTON!
(PJ immediately turns and reaches his hand out, knowing that he needs to get a tag into Limmy so the fresher partner can enter the match, Ruler though has other plans.)
Jake Mercer: PJ tries to get back up to his feet and make his way over to his corner, BUT RULER LUNGES OUT AND GRABS HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE YANKING HIM DOWN! PJ rolls onto his back while Ruler mounts onto him, beginning to hit him with repeated palm strikes toward the head! Ruler knows that he can’t let PJ get the tag out to Limmy, so he has to make sure that he hits him with some pummeling offense in order for that not to be a problem. But we know the persistence of PJ, we know that at some point one wrong move is going to allow him that slight bit of leeway that he needs.
Stew-O: Ruler relents and gets back up to his feet, beginning to stomp down onto the chest of PJ to keep him down on the canvas. The Interwire Champion is forced to absorb the blows, but quickly rolls to the ropes to force him away. He tries to get back up to his feet, only for Ruler to grab him by the arm and send him toward the opposite side of the ring…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: WHILE PJ REBOUNDS BACK AND RULER THROWS HIM INTO THE AIR FOR A BACK BODY DROP- WAIT! PJ manages to land on his feet and roll out of the ring… ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! LIMMY MONAGHAN TAGGED HIMSELF INTO THE MATCH WHILE PJ REBOUNDED OFF OF HIS SIDE OF THE RING AND KNOCKED RULER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! LIMMY DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREE-
Jake Mercer: BUT RULER SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Even though that took him by surprise it definitely did not take him out as he shows that he still has some fight in him. But Limmy is already back up to his feet and he knows that he’s going to have to take advantage of this while he has the chance. He grabs Ruler by the head and brings him up to his feet, dragging him over to the corner, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE DOWN ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Limmy from there begins to unload with fists to his face, just trying to soften him up before he goes for some of his signature heavy hitting offense!
Stew-O: But Ruler isn’t going to take that kindly though, blocking one of his shots and connecting with one of his own before grabbing Limmy by the head and spinning him around before placing him in the corner instead! Limmy tries to fight back, BUT RULER LIFTS HIMSELF UPWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE JAW! He then throws him down to the center of the ring, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’! METEORA TO A SITTING LIMMY!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AND GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET! Ruler gets back up as well after skidding down to a knee, WITH LIMMY POPPING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND TRYING FOR A POWERBOMB- ONLY FOR RULER TO TURN THAT INTO A HURRICANRANA WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN! Ruler then gets back up to his feet, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CAVING LIMMY’S CHEST IN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Jake Mercer: Ruler pulls himself up to a seated position, Limmy had pushed him against the ropes, but he’s also making it known that he will not go down without a fight in this tag team match. He begins to get himself back up to his feet while Limmy gasps at his chest, trying to grab at the ropes and get back up to his feet, WHILE RULER RUNS FORWARD, GOING FOR A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE- ONLY FOR LIMMY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! He rolls himself back up to his feet while Ruler approaches him, GOING UNDER AND LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAKE EYES TO THE TURNBUCKLE! Limmy manages to get out of that situation by a hair as he turns around before nailing punches toward his face! He grabs him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring to get a running start… RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SECOND ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ TO A CORNERED RULER!
Stew-O: BUT RULER MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Limmy turns around, only to be met by a forearm smash to the face that sends him back into the corner! Limmy tries to fight back before anything can go south for him, ONLY FOR RULER TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS ABDOMEN TO TAKE ALL THE BREATH OUT OF HIS LUNGS! Limmy is hurt and Ruler looks to take advantage by grabbing him by the head and dragging him toward his corner, slamming him face down onto the top turnbuckle before propping him up and holding out his hand…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: TAG TO BRONSON! Bronson enters into the ring while Limmy tries to get out of it, but he’s already going to town on him with strikes to the face! Limmy slowly begins to slouch down to a seated position, while Bronson begins to stomp down on his chest this time! He’s trying to lighten him up and the referee looks to try and intervene to stop the attack…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON TAGS RULER BACK IN! Ruler enters the ring while Limmy tries to get back up once again, only for him to pick up where Bronson left off and stomp down onto his chest as well! The two of them move onward with an assault, just completely beating down the World Heavyweight Champion! Ruler tries to tag Bronson back in-
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY WITH THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY HE HAS LEFT BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE! HE MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE GRABBING BRONSON BY THE HEAD AND PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH A BULLDOG! LIMMY THEN SCRAMBLES FORWARD AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: TAGGING IN THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! PJ enters into the ring while Ruler tries to get back up to his feet, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH! Ruler is taken down to the ground but gets back up to his feet, JUST FOR PJ TO DROP HIM WITH A HIP TOSS! Ruler gets himself up to a seated position, WHILE PJ LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! PJ then lifts Ruler up, trying his best to fight back, BEFORE PJ LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! That leaves Ruler dazed but he manages to hold his ground, AS HE LEAPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE OF HIS OWN TO PJ! PJ rebounds off of the ropes…
Jake Mercer: WHILE RULER SPINS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’! SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK TO THE FACE OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION TO SECURE THE VICTORY!
Stew-O: BUT PJ MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE THEN TURNS RULER AROUND BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH ‘HURRICANE’! INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: PJ then grabs Ruler and brings him back up to his feet, throwing him into the corner before possibly looking to bring him up to the top turnbuckle! He sends a few strikes to his face trying to weaken him before slowly beginning to climb up to the top rope…
Jake Mercer: LAUNCHING OFF AND LOOKING TO GO FOR A TOP ROPE POISONRANA! THE SET UP TO ‘FINAL FLASH’ TO FINISH THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! SOMEONE JUST PULLED HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND TOOK HIM OUT, BRINGING RULER DOWN WITH HIM!
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S NOT JUST ANYONE, THAT’S JAY JERRY JOHNSON!
Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS ENTERS INTO THE RING, ONLY FOR JAY TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A KNEE STRIKE, AND THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: WE KNEW THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN ANY SOME POINT WE JUST DIDN’T KNOW WHEN, AND NOW JAY IS MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN AS HE FOCUSES BACK IN ON PJ AND BEGINS TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM! HE MAY HAVE TAKEN OUT RULER AND BRONSON BUT HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE TWO OF THEM, ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND MAKING A STATEMENT!
(PJ backs himself into the corner and Jay takes advantage by stomping down onto his chest while the official comes in and tries to break the two of them up. Meanwhile Bronson and Ruler have rolled out of the ring, Bronson falling against the barricade and clutching at his head in pain, angered with how this match went down, same with Ruler.)
Flannery McCoy: IT SEEMS THAT RULER HAS HAD ENOUGH OF BRONSON, AS HE SENDS HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND TO THE FRONT ROW SEATS! RULER HOPS THE BARRICADE AND NOW THE TWO OF THEM ARE BEGINNING TO TEE OFF WITH ONE ANOTHER IN THE STANDS! AS IF THIS SITUATION COULDN’T GET WORSE ALREADY!
(Meanwhile Limmy Monaghan is about to enter into the ring, having seen enough and looking to help his tag team partner out of the situation that he’s in by handling Jay…)
Jake Mercer: ‘THE VORTEX’!
Stew-O: SCOTT DIAMOND IS HERE AND HE JUST LIFTED LIMMY UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH THE F5! THE F5 CONNECTS! HE TRIED FOR IT EARLIER BUT LIMMY MANAGED TO ESCAPE, BUT SCOTT THIS TIME WAS THE ONE THAT CAUGHT HIM COMPLETELY OFF GUARD AND TOOK ADVANTAGE!
Flannery McCoy: MEANWHILE JAY HAS PJ UP, TAKING HIM OUT WITH ‘PROJECT ZEPERION’! THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98 CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: OFFICIALS AND SECURITY ARE SWARMING THE RING TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON THE SITUATION, BUT JAY HAS RETREATED OUT OF THE RING! MEANWHILE SCOTT HAS A HOLD OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
(Jay, with a big smirk on his face, retreats up the ramp while security yells at him and also splits to try and contain what’s going on in the crowd between Bronson and Ruler. Jay, holding his hands up, satisfied with everything that has gone down, complies and takes his leave from the area. Meanwhile Scott has snatched a hold of the title, making his way over to the downed body of Limmy. He looks down at the Champion with a shake of the head, not looking to raise the title in the air to make a statement, he could care less about that, instead dropping it down onto his body before leaving the ring. The hectic scene is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out completely to black.)
