(EAW Intro plays.)
(The show begins right at its normal time. We get fast and quickly edited footage of the previous week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty. We see images of JOSO, Harley Lewis, Astraea Jordan, and Serenity Valdez as they end up winners of their matches this previous episodes. Halsey Neel and Sheridan Muller also have a fantastic bout that ends after a helpful hand from Astraea Jordan that gives Halsey a huge win. We see other moments from the episode such as Harper Lee advancing out of her block to a Pain for Pride match in the finals of this year’s Iconic Cup tournament. Lastly, we are shown an all time classic main event match between World Heavyweight Champion The Visual Prophet and Ronn Bank$ that is spoiled by Xander Payne leading to a win for Viz. The show ends however with Viz blindsiding a ringside Andre Walker and both men having a pull apart brawl as the episode fades to black.)
(The recap ends and the show officially begins. The Crypto.com Arena in Los Angelos, California is the place where it all takes place this week. The arena begins to become excited and loud as the locals inside the arena are filling up every row. Fireworks quickly begin bursting all over the arena as ‘P.A.T.’ by Denzel Curry begins to bump thru the public announcement speakers. We get fan sightings from inside of the arena where we can see fans wearing several elitist branded merchandise. We see a “JOSO DON’T MISS” football jersey on one grandma and a “Sheridan Muller” hockey jersey style of shirt on a young man cheering from the crowd. We see a bunch of other signs as well until finally we reach our way towards the announcers desk. We get a glimpse of Stew-O and his two co-hosts Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer as they prepare to speak)
Stew-O: The most entertaining show in sports entertainment is right here and live in sunny Los Angeles! Welcome to Friday Night Dynasty as we bring you two weeks closer this years Pain for Pride! I’m Stew-O and I’m joined as always with Jake Mercer. How are you feeling, Jake?
Jake Mercer: Oh, Stew…how do I feel?
Stew-O: Yes, how are you tonight?
Jake Mercer: HOW DO I FEEL?!
Flannery McCoy: Dude…
Jake Mercer: I’M TURNT THE FUCK UP LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: I don’t blame you but let’s tone it down a little bit. Save that excitement for these amazing matches we have later on. Tonight’s show should be an epic one ladies and gentlemen. You are free to be as loud or even louder than Jake at home! With Jake and I is the lovely and iconic one herself…Flannery McCoy!
Flannery McCoy: So, I’m not rabid like Jake but I am very excited for tonight’s festivities as well!
Stew-O: I can’t blame you, we are literally two weeks away from Pain for Pride.
Flannery McCoy: I KNOW! Jeez, maybe I am almost as hype as Jake.
Jake Mercer: I’M READY TO EXPLODE ALL OVER THIS CRYPTO ARENA!!!
Flannery McCoy: On second thought, maybe I’m not.
Jake Mercer: :dougieb: Sturdy, Flan. Sturdy!!!!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef begins blasting as the fans go wild with a mix of cheers but mostly boos. Out steps the one and only SOSA Henderson. SOSA is wearing a sweatsuit with a black vest over his hoody as he points finger guns at the crowd before walking down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Looks like we are about to open things with The Bulletproof one…SOSA Henderson!
Jake Mercer: The King of Philly is here in LA and I bet you he has a lot to say!
Flannery McCoy: As the season reaches its apex, this is the time for a guy like SOSA to end things on a high note. That Cash in the Vault match could be the ticket to elevating SOSA right back into the World Title picture.
(We see the Philadelphia native enter the ring as he looks around the building. SOSA is handed a microphone and smirks as the music he famous enters to fades out and he raises the microphone to his lips.)
SOSA Henderson: Now, many of you probably look at my face and are curious how I’m feeling. Maybe you are wondering how I’m doing and why I could come out here with a smile and behave nonchalantly given what I dealt with last week. Well, if you aren’t aware and don’t know allow me to explain what exactly happened. A bum by the name of Jon Kelton decided to interfere in my match with Jake Smith. Kelton got in my business and jumped into that match causing it to be thrown out. A match I wanted to win ahead of this year’s Pain for Pride. A match that I wanted to win in order to shut that crusty lipped bastard Jake’s mouth. But, Kelton got froggy and leaped into my business and…that’s ok. That’s fine. It is what is it. Can’t change shit and I can’t undo what he did. Cool. Jake got his pasty ass saved. Jake knows this, Kelton knows this, you all know this, and SOSA Henderson fucking knows this. Thing is, Kelton and Jake are going to understand soon enough that Pain for Pride won’t see any scenario for them to avoid me. Ain’t no savior for them or anyone else come Pain for Pride. Pain for Pride means Cash in the Vault and Cash in the Vault means every man for themself.
(SOSA shakes his head as he looks at the camera..)
SOSA Henderson: I know better than anyone that The Cash in the Vault ladder match is a whole different environment.
(Henderson puts his hand on his chin as he begins thinking briefly.)
SOSA Henderson: With that said, I’m left reflecting on this current season as we approach the end of it. I’ve been through a lot and besides a few highs like Territorial Invasion I’ve been chasing that elusive thing that defines a star in this industry. I’ve been on the hunt for another World title run and with Pain for Pride two weeks away and Cash in the Vault being the perfect opportunity to literally buy myself a damn near guranteed title run, I am as locked in as I’ve ever fucking been. CITV matches are one of the signature spectacles in this company and are a staple for Pain for Pride. SOSA Henderson is very familiar with that match. Although SOSA came up short, SOSA’s going to use all his experience from that year and make things different this time around, mostly because SOSA doesn’t really have a choice.
(SOSA stands in the ring, beginning to lean onto the rope as he looks off into the distance.)
SOSA Henderson: SOSA stands here and I reflect on Season 15 and while i’ve had my own moments, like winning Stadium Stampede and competing for the World Heavyweight Championship on more than one occasion, it’s not enough satisfaction for me whatsoever.
(SOSA smirks as he turns to the camera..)
SOSA Henderson: SOSA looks to end this Season off with a bang and the only way SOSA can see himself doing that is by winning the Cash in The Vault match. SOSA wins that and gets one step closer to becoming a two-time World Champion. Let this right here be a warning to each and every one of you dick eating dick headed lames that enter that Cash in the Vault ladder match…you get in my way and I’m going to put you into the ground. I will bury every single one of you to get what I want. SOSA Henderson is coming for that fucking briefcase and not a single Motherfucker in that match is going to stop me. Get in my way if you want to. Fuck around and find out. Fuck around and I’ll show you why they call me Bulletproof. I’ll see you weak ass bitches at Pain for Pride.
(Mic drop by SOSA as he stands tall in the ring. The crowd pops as his music plays once more and he begins mouthing off at a couple of guys in the front row.)
Stew-O: SOSA has been in the Cash in the Vault match before. Sure, he came up short in the past but he’s been fingertips away from victory as well. I believe his experience, determination, and his ruthlessness make him a worthy foe for all involved.
Flannery McCoy: Henderson is the favorite for many fans and for good reason. SOSA is already a sure-fire hall of fame level elitist but becoming a two time World Heavyweight Champion would put him into a rare category. Not many people even win one world title let alone two!
Jake Mercer: Im partial to my name twin Jake Smith but I can’t lie…SOSA is a very compelling candidate in his own right. We will see if he survives and finally wins that CITV briefcase this year at PAIN FOR PRIDE!

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘Martyr’ by Yasuharu Takanashi/YAIBA hits the arena as Cl- Xerxes Godfrey makes his way out of the curtain down to the ring. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, CURRENTLY RESIDING IN CHARING CROSS; LONDON, ENGLAND!!!!… WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS!!!… HE IS ‘THE PROGENITOR’!!!!… XERXESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!… GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here he is, Clo- Well Xerxes Godfrey, unique name to me but I’ll take it because it sounds kinda cool to me… How many times has this man changed his name already?
Stew-O: I don’t know because I never count but what we know is tonight, Xerxes will take on Nick Hart and Liana DeLions here in Dynasty… Let’s see if Xerxes be able to get through this here tonight!
Flannery McCoy: That’s right, he might have a lot of names for himself but he also has a lot of talent in his body that he’s going to let out here! I can’t wait to see the action out here that’s about to begin.
( Xerxes arrives in the ring as ‘Catalina Fight Song’ by Joyce Manor replaces his theme song. Nick Hart comes out, looks disappointed and makes his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: NEXT, FROM PORTLAND, OREGON!!!.. WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!!!… HE’S ‘MAN OF 1000 PINS’!!!!!…. NICK!!!!!!!.. HARRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: 1000 pins? :dame: Interesting but did he ever reach that before?
Stew-O: I don’t know why are you so questionable today.
Jake Mercer: I only asked you guys two questi-
Stew-O: No.
Jake Mercer: :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: I think it’s a pretty cool concept from Nick as being “Man of 1000 pins”, Well I don’t really know how it will turn out but he might take a pin with one of those pins out here today!
( ‘Walk with me in Hell’ by Lamb of God replaces Nick’s theme music as Liana DeLions comes out to the ring. )
Stephie Love: AT LAST, FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA!!!… WEIGHING IN 232 POUNDS!!!… SHE’S ‘THE GODDESS’!!!!… LIANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… DEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: And here she is! The Goddess of EAW! The Best in the world! Liana Delions!!
Stew-O: You didn’t just say that.
Jake Mercer: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Alright bro, you’re high at this point.
Flannery McCoy: Liana is not having a really good time in EAW despite the fact that she’s still happy to be here and fight for herself, Maybe she might pick one here against these two! I think that sounds rightful!
( DING DING DING!!!! )
Stew-O: Three ways match is underway and here we go, Xerxes hops off his corner so as Nick and Liana… Both Liana and Nick look and signal to each other. Liana nods at Nick and walks over to Xerxes with a smile on her fa- WAIT!!! NICK WITH A ROLL-UP FROM BEHIND!!!
ONE!!!-
Jake Mercer: Xerxes quickly breaks a pin! Xerxes picks Nick and throws him outside the ring… Liana gets back to her feet and looks for a German Suplex… Xerxes back elbows right across her jaw, steps away from her to the front and rocks her with a chest kick… Liana catches Xerxes’ leg, tosses it away… Xerxes bounces off the ropes and Liana sends him down to the mat with an armdrag!… But Xerxes lands on his feet. Xerxes pulls Liana back to her feet, sends her to the ropes and dropkicks to her face! Liana falls down to the mat… Xerxes rises back to both feet and connects her with a Meteora!!!
Flannery McCoy: Xerxes is about to go for a pin but look from behind! Nick Hart is back! Nick elbows to the back of Xerxes’ head. Nick picks Xerxes up, sends him to the corner… Nick runs up- Xerxes ducks under, rolls him down to the middle of the ring and puts him to the shadow realm with a destructive penalty kick!… But Nick catches his leg! Nick spins him around, superkicks to the back of his head and backslides Xerxes!! He’s going to win this already???
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Close call! Liana breaks a pin! Liana recovers herself back to her feet while Nick tries to capitalize himself after failing to put Xerxes down… Xerxes crawls down to the bottom rope, grabs up and tries to get himself back into this match. Liana runs up to Nick but Nick goes around instead and brings her down to the mat quickly with a Dragon Suplex!… Liana resists it, She tries to escape it-
Jake Mercer: Xerxes comes back to his feet and… Switchblade kick to Liana and Nick connects her with a Dragon Suplex! What an unexpected teamwork from both men! Nick rises back to both feet… Xerxes runs up to Nick and puts him down to the mat with a flying forearm! Xerxes successfully took Nick down but Nick immediately rises back to both feet unconsciously… Xerxes runs to Nick again, low dropkicks to his right leg, kips up back to his feet and shoot kicks to the side of his head! Nick is stunned by a kick from Xerxes… Xerxes picks him back to his feet, grabs him around and Northern Lights Suplex to Nick Hart from Xerxes Godfrey! Xerxes comes back to his feet and is about to go for a pin on Nick…
Flannery McCoy: Wait, Liana is back to her feet! She’s coming for Xerxes! She spins around and goes for a discus lariat. Xerxes ducks under and sends him to the ropes. Xerxes pops her up in the air and rocks her chin with a knee-strike! Pop-up Knee Strike connected! Xerxes holds her on… Release tiger suplex to Liana! Xerxes drops down on Liana and goes for a pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
…
Stew-O: RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM NICK HART ON BOTH COMPETITORS!!!! NICK IS BACK OUT OF NOWHERE AND BREAKS A PIN WITH HIS MOVE!!! Xerxes rolls out of his way after taking a shooting star press while pinning Liana. Liana is still down on the mat and Nick looks to steal a win from Xerxes!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
….
Jake Mercer: XERXES JUMPS DOWN AND BREAKS THE PIN IN TIME!! VERY CLOSE ONE FOR NICK HART!!
Flannery McCoy: Nick crawls down to the ropes while Xerxes tries to pick himself back to both feet and Liana is still down in the middle of the ring. Nick leans on the ropes and looks at Xerxes… Nick runs down to Xerxes for a spear but Xerxes catches him in a mid-run with a roundhouse kick! Nick falls back to the ropes… REBOUNDS BACK AND LOOKS FOR A SPEAR ONE MORE TIME BUT XERXES CATCHES HIM AGAIN WITH AN OPEN-HANDED SLAP RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE!!! Nick stumbles down to his knees after taking that slap. Xerxes picks him back to both feet… TIGER DRIVER ON NICK HAR- WAIT, NICK STRUGGLES OUT OF IT, TURNS THINGS AROUND AND PUTS XERXES DOWN WITH A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX AND PROCEEDS WITH A BRIDGE PIN!!! NICK IS GOING TO DO IT???? WOULD THIS BE IT??????
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
….
Stew-O: Liana breaks a pinfall! She’s back to stop Nick from winning! Xerxes rolls down and lays around the apron while Nick and Liana try to get themselves back into this match. Nick is the first one to run up to his opponent again but Liana grabs his arm in a mid-run, twists it around and runs up for CODEBREAKER ON NICK HAR- SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ON LIANA!!!! NICK CATCHES HIM WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!!! NICK HITS IT AND CONNECTS WITH A PIN ON LIANA!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
….
Flannery McCoy: FROG SPLASH!!! XERXES IS BACK IN THIS RING TO BREAK A PIN!! WHAT A WAY TO TURN THINGS DOWN!!!!
( The crowd goes absolutely wild for this match and how it’s going so far. The camera pans to all three competitors in this match that looks tired and try to figure out when one of them is going to win this match. )
Stew-O: What a match that has been through this so far. All of them pick themselves up at the same time… Liana runs up to Nick and takes him down with a shoulder block!… NICK RESISTS AND DOES NOT BACK HIMSELF DOWN FROM THE FIGH- CLINCH ELBOW SMASH FROM XERXES RIGHT ACROSS NICK’S JAW!!! XERXES TRIES TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT- NICK CATCHES HIS LEG AND SENDS IT RIGHT STRAIGHT TO LIANA’S FACE!! NICK COMES BACK AND ROLLS XERXES UP….

( DING DING DING!!!! )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!!!… XERXES GODFREY!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: What a win by Xerxes here tonight! Those two did great out here despite getting taken out by Xerxes but at least they have their moments.
Jake Mercer: Yessir, we are pushing the Queen Liana’s Agenda.
Stew-O: https://c.tenor.com/CBLX9z1_Dn4AAAAd/fresh-prince-we.gif
Flannery McCoy: Both Nick and Liana tonight were doing a great job but in the end, the victory falls to Xerxes Godfrey and congrats, Xerxes!
( ‘Martyr’ by Yasuharu Takanashi/YAIBA hits the arena as the referee raises Xerxes’ hand. Xerxes celebrates his victory over Nick and Liana before the scene fades to elsewhere. )
(A commercial is shown for the 24/7 Battle Royale match at Pain For Pride XV.)
(‘Sweet Caroline’ by Neil Diamond plays through the speakers of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. In contrast to their indie-style entrances during the African tour, we are back to a really well made and well produced set worthy of EAW talents to pose on. The crowd is hype on their feet to witness EAW’s first show back in the US, as everyone begins singing along to her theme song. As she exits the titantron, her expression changes from a happy one to a serious and firm one, a change possibly influenced by recent events with Bethany Blue. Everyone around her begins to chant, but the chants tone down after they see a fierce-looking eyepatch-wearing Caroline, standing with a menacing look on the entrance stage before walking down the ramp. She enters through the ring ropes, as she waits for her opponent.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for One Fall! From Paducah, Kentucky, weighing in at 109 pounds, she is the SWEEEEEEETTTTT CAROLINE!
Flannery McCoy: Clearly, she’s out for blood and out to demolish her opponents. What Bethany did to her might’ve triggered this new persona, but we are more than interested to see what she brings to the table this match.
(‘CAT GIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE’ by Corpse replaces a fading out ‘Sweet Caroline’ almost immediately, as Anthony Cameron comes out of the titantron and touches his two index fingers together like a weeaboo. He’s dressed in an ugly-looking singlet and taped-up glasses with a pretty small bulge visible from the latex. The crowd laughs at his visibly small package and Anthony loves it. He dances up and down as everyone continues to degrade him, entering through the titantron. A big, Eastern European man is making out with someone he considers a crush, and Anthony nearly does something not-so PG on live television, before being warned by the actual production team. He begins acting like a shy and introverted cuck, the crowd making fun of every flaw in his body as he makes his way down the ramp. He enters the ring, and even the referee laughs in pure mockery at his tiny shrimp sea lion of a dick.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 115 pounds, LE- LE- HAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, LE CUCKKKOOOOOLLDDD, ANTHONY CAMERON!
Jake Mercer: And I thought Gavin had a shrimp, look at this fucker! He’s the definition of a beta male, not like me. I’m the ultimate sigma male, and this dude is just making me sick. I hope he gets picked apart and waived by EAW, truly.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: Uh- does this motherfucker know what he’s here for?
Flannery McCoy: Anthony? I don’t know, he’s trying to kiss Caroline but he just looks more like a creep and less like a man, I think he should just wrestle, to be honest. What do you think, Stew?
(Stew-O’s jaw drops as he is at a loss for words.)
Jake Mercer: For once, I’m not the man who’s made to look like a fool here. Anthony just looks more like a fool, especially as Caroline just bitch slapped him to the shadow realm! Bro must’ve seen a different universe after that, that’s crazy.
Flannery McCoy: And Ant- Anth- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, sorry. And Anthony takes the slap and just begins dancing like a little bitch. Why is this man even in the company? I’m sure Caroline shares the exact same sentiments, as she has enough and just drives a boot right through his nose! Caroline is visibly disgusted that a man like this can even exist, but at this point, beating him up is the best thing she can do.
Stew-O: Uh….
Flannery McCoy: We have you back, great.
Stew-O: Okay, so. Caroline is visibly looking to end this match as early as humanly possible, and Anthony is just doing the opposite of what a wrestler should do. He’s just running away while at the same time, he’s visibly getting a boner from the constant abuse.
Flannery McCoy: Gavin has some competition, alright. Anthony is just trying to get himself together, but visibly, he’s stuck in a simping stage for Caroline. What’s next, he’s going to bend over backwards and let her belt smack him? The fuck?
Jake Mercer: I’m one more gesture from this man away from walking out of EAW. This is why I have a love hate relationship with commentary, people like this. It’s all getting better, though, as Caroline grabs him by the hair and throws him against the turnbuckle! Anthony is clearly in pain, and for once, I don’t think he’s loving it. Caroline runs a distance, and flips a split second before landing on his face for the Running Cannonball Senton!
Stew-O: I think that was a mistake on her part, not wrestling wise, but she’s giving Gavin what he wants. That horny little bugger is just loving it! Does he have no shame?
Anthony Cameron: (off-mic) Give me more, you fucking sl-
Flannery McCoy: And he doesn’t get to complete that highly offensive last word, as Caroline just lands another Cannonball Senton right on his face, shutting the incel up for good! Jesus, how can one be that horrible with women?
Jake Mercer: And Anthony is getting squashed like a bug right now! Caroline picks him up off the floor and leans him against the turnbuckles, clearly setting something up! Caroline hits him with a chop, but strikes him again with a running front dropkick against the ropes! She then follows it up with a headstand Hurricarana! Finally, beat this fucking asshole.
Stew-O: And she’s just coming for blood! Caroline takes a moment to focus and recalibrate herself, despite being dominant in every single aspect of this match. It’s clear that she wants to take to the skies, and she does so! Caroline climbs up the turnbuckle, and goes for the Starlight, Starbright! Caroline just planted her knee right in between his chest, the shooting star press connecting! Anthony coughs out saliva, and is damn near coughing out blood. Caroline dances on her own, but it has a sarcastic feel to it.
Jake Mercer: Finally, this cuck is getting his ass kicked. Kill him, Carol. Please, save this company and get this parasite out of it. Fuck you, Anthony.
Flannery McCoy: :damn: Alright, that’s just a bit over the top, Jake. Anyhow, Caroline looks like she’s looking to just end the match right here. Anthony gets up to a knee, but Caroline hits him with hard shoot kicks to the stomach! Now it’s time for her to finally put this match to rest, and she pulls him up, locks his head in between her arms and slams him down for the SUUUGGGGAAAR AND SPICEEEE! Anthony is knocked the fuck out by the Headlock Driver, and Caroline goes for the cover!
Stew-O: :gladbron: About goddamn time, damn. Caroline needs to put him out right here, for God’s sake.
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
Referee: THHHHHHRRRRREEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: Caroline finally puts the goddamn cuck away. Not much to say there, really? I mean, Caroline would much rather be facing actual competition, but she made a statement out of this fool and did it. I’m sure nobody has any objections to that?
(Flannery and Stew both shake their heads, agreeing with Jake’s statements.)
Flannery McCoy: Yep, nothing there to object, really. Just wanted to see this cuck get destroyed.
Stew-O: And Anthony is somehow smiling and gesturing for Caroline to do it one more time-
(Stew takes a nearby trash can and just pukes his guts out.)
Stew-O: I’m good, anyways, at least this is over and done with.
(Caroline doesn’t even bother celebrating, but the crowd chants her on as Anthony rolls out of the ring with a small erection. The crowd mocks him for it once more, but this time, he’s too knocked out and dazed to even bother doing anything. A fitting end to one of EAW’s worst signings and an absolute bozo.)
(A commercial is shown for Saturday Night Showdown where Impact and TLA participate in a Pick Your Poison match! With TLA facing Limmy Monaghan and Impact facing Adam Lucas.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to the arena to show Stephie Love standing in the middle of the ring with a smile on her face, ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!! KMOFIF3IPFMPOEFPO!!!!!!!
(The Crowd would explode in a positive reaction, but that is immediately drowned out by a reaction of boos as ‘Sugar We’re Going Down’ by Fall Out Boy begins to blast throughout the Arena, as Harley Lewis would walk through the curtain. Looking confident and cocky, Harley structs his way down to the ring, rolling into the ring before backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM…WEIGHING IN AT 185 POUNDS…HE IS THE ‘HEARTTHROB OF EAW’…HARLEY LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: MY MAN! THE HEARTTHROB! THE BRITISH PLAYBOY! THE-
Stew-O: Quiet. Harley Lewis has had a pretty impressive run since his debut in Elite Answers Wrestling, and on the road to Pain For Pride where he will compete in the Finals of the New Era Classic Tournament, tonight he faces the Universal Women’s Champion in Andrea Valentine!
Flannery McCoy: But, of course, Andrea Valentine is not going to be an easy challenge clearly. She is the Universal Women’s Champion! Harley Lewis will have to do quite a lot to make sure that he can walk out of Dynasty with the win, but I’m sure he’s looking to make a statement!
Jake Mercer: Stealing Ronan’s gimmick. Hot Take; Harley Lewis WILL beat Andrea Valentine tonight! He has what it takes! He can do it!!!!
Stew-O: I’ll wait for you to change your opinion.
(‘Sugar We’re Going Down’ slowly fades away, as it is then replaced by ‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX, the boos immediately transitioning into cheers once more, as the current Universal Women’s Champion, Andrea Valentine, walks through the curtain with a smile on her face! With the Championship around her waist, Andrea would walk down to the ring, climbing onto the apron as she enters the ring and backs into her corner.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA…SHE IS THE CURRENT EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION…ANDREA VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: I’m predicting that Andrea Valentine will win tonight, I don’t think Harley Lewis has what it takes to win.
(Suddenly, Stew-O could be seen stopping some sort of stopwatch, as Jake Mercer looks on confused.)
Jake Mercer: :wtf:
Stew-O: :cmon: Not even 5 Minutes. 5 MINUTES!!!!
Flannery McCoy: :yikes: Andrea Valentine has been having beef with her current Number One Contender for Pain For Pride, Kassidy Heart as of late, and Andrea looks to send a message here tonight ahead of her Match against Kass at the biggest event of the year by beating Harley Lewis here tonight!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Harley Lewis and Andrea Valentine lock up in the middle of the ring, as Harley is able to take the advantage, pushing Andrea off the ropes as she rebounds..and Andrea catches Harley with a shoulder tackle. Andrea runs the ropes once more, jumping over Harley as she then runs the other side, but Harley grabs her by the arm and into an arm drag, and he keeps a hold onto the arm, pulling her back up to her feet and connecting with an arm drag, as he continues to hold that arm down!
Jake Mercer: Harley presses down against the shoulder blade of Andrea Valentine, as she tries to get back up to her feet, but Harley Lewis drags her back down before placing her arm down on the mat and stomping on it! The Universal Women’s Champion holds onto her arm, but Harley drops back down to his knees as he grabs a hold of Andrea’s waist, as he moves into an alligator roll, but Andrea is able to counter herself out of it, pulling herself back up to her feet as she locks their hands, and she stomps right on the face of Harley Lewis!
Flannery McCoy: And another stomp right into the face of Harley Lewis by Andrea Valentine! It seems that Andrea is trying to mess up the precious face of Harley, as she drags him back up to his feet, as she throws him right into the corner…but Harley bounces out of the corner and hits Andrea right with a clothesline, but Andrea grabs Harley right by the head and connects with a neck breaker and Harley goes back down! Harley has been halted once more of momentum as Andrea taunts right at Harley!
Stew-O: Harley Lewis quickly staggers back up to his feet as he runs right towards Andrea, but she once again catches Harley by the arm, and she whiplashes that arm right against the ropes! Harley falls right down to his knees as Andrea runs the ropes, but Harley gets up to his feet and he catches her with a headbutt! Harley Lewis and Andrea Valentine both crumble down to their feet, but Harley headbutts her once again and Andrea collapses! Harley Lewis is able to go back up to his feet, but as he looks to get into a pin, Andrea rolls away!
Flannery McCoy: Great strategy by the Champ as Harley Lewis is forced to grab a hold of her as she makes it onto the apron, but Andrea is able to fight Harley off! Andrea pushes Lewis away, as she is able to enter the ring, but Harley runs the ropes right towards Andrea! But Andrea catches Harley, grabbing him by the waist as she jumps on his shoulders..and she goes for ‘Atomic Blade’ early, but Harley is able to push her off his shoulders, and right into a spinning heel kick the very moment she falls onto the mat!
Jake Mercer: And now it’s Harley Lewis who taunts Andrea Valentine!
(After a few moments, Andrea Valentine would slowly get back up to her feet, respecting the efforts Harley Lewis has made early on in this Match.)
Jake Mercer: :wow: Andrea giving Harley the props he deserves…but it doesn’t last for long as Andrea slaps Harley right across the face, and Harley looks pissed! Harley goes for yet another spinning heel kick, but Andrea ducks it, pulling Harley down and over her into a rollup, but instantly transitioning out of it as she then grabs Harley by the waist, moving into yet another rollup position, only to, once again, immediately transition out as she runs the ropes..and kicks Harley right across the back! Andrea runs the ropes and connects with yet another stiff kick right to the back!
Stew-O: Andrea Valentine quickly pulls Harley Lewis back up to his feet, as she grabs a hold of him, before connecting with a snap vertical suplex! Harley goes down and Andrea rolls through, holding on as she connects with yet another snap vertical suplex! Andrea slowly pulls herself back up to her feet, pulling Harley back up as well, ONLY TO KNOCK HIM BACK DOWN WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! ANDREA VALENTINE JUST KNOCKED HARLEY LEWIS OUT, AND SHE GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Harley Lewis manages to get the shoulder up, but I think the message has been sent! Andrea Valentine plops herself up to a knee, as she waits for Harley to make some movement, backing into the corner and just waits. Harley begins to crawl up to his knee, but Andrea runs right at Harley-…but Harley is able to get back up to his feet, catching Andrea by the head and dropping her into a side headlock, before he immediately transitions out of it, and he kicks Andrea right upside the head!
Jake Mercer: Usually I would say that knocked some sense into the opponent, but I don’t think it works in this scenario as Andrea quickly gets back up to her feet, trapping Harley by his legs as she pulls him down to the mat below, and she kicks Harley Lewis RIGHT upside the head! That must have knocked some sense into him!
Stew-O: Didn’t you just say-
Jake Mercer: ?
Stew-O: :francis: Andrea Valentine was immediately able to give Harley Lewis his receipt, as Harley seemingly shakes some cobwebs out of his head before getting back up to his feet. Andrea immediately reacts, grabbing Harley by the waist, but Harley is able to get out of it as he drops down and pulls her over his shoulder by the head! Andrea is in a seated position as Harley runs the ropes, but Andrea is able to duck! And as Harley looks to connect with a shoot kick, Andrea ducks it once again, grabbing Harley by the leg and forcing him to drop, before driving her knee right into the back of Harley’s knee!
Flannery McCoy: The current Universal Women’s Champion is able to once again keep Harley Lewis at bay, as she drives her knee right into the back of his once more! Andrea Valentine now gets back up to her feet, bringing Harley back up in the process-…but Harley kicks Andrea right in the knee! Harley was able to catch Andrea, and now he grabs her by the waist and connects with a suplex! Harley quickly gets up to his feet, as he grabs the legs of Andrea, and he starts to step in, as he twists Andrea over…and he sits down as he locks in the sharpshooter!
Jake Mercer: Andrea Valentine is caught in the sharpshooter, as Harley sits down on it, and he has her trapped in the center of the ring! Andrea has nowhere to go as she tries to make her way to the ropes, but the submission is too tight! Harley Lewis could tap out the Universal Women’s Champion, as Andrea Valentine puts her hand in the air…but she starts moving!
Stew-O: Andrea Valentine is slowly crawling her way to the ropes, and look at the face of Harley Lewis! Harley is trying to hold Andrea down, but it isn’t enough as Andrea continues to get closer and closer to the ropes-
Flannery McCoy: HARLEY LEWIS WON’T ALLOW IT! Andrea got so close to the ropes and Harley noticed it as he lets go before transitioning into a crossface! Andrea Valentine is now trapped in a crossface as once again, she has nowhere to go-…and Harley only pulls her back into the center of the ring and locks the crossface in tighter! Andrea Valentine was so close to making it to the ropes, but Harley Lewis cuts her off, and pulls her right to the middle of the ring, only wrenching the crossface in tighter!
Jake Mercer: Andrea tries to once again crawl her way to the ropes, but all the added pressure from the crossface is making it too difficult! Andrea does not know what to do…but she is able to roll over, catching Harley into a rollup…but Harley is able to immediately turn it back over into the crossface! Harley once again gets the crossface in, and he continues to wrench it tighter and tighter! Andrea Valentine may be on the verge of giving up!
Stew-O: But she’s still fighting! Slowly, but surely, Andrea Valentine is able to make little movement! Trying to make her way out of the center of the ring, Andrea continues to scratch, and claw her way to the ropes, but she still has a long way to go, and now Harley is stretching her head back! I think Andrea may have to tap out! The crossface looks to be too much for her as she has been locked in this hold for minutes and she still hasn’t been able to get out!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDREA VALENTINE WILL NOT GIVE UP! Knowing she doesn’t want to give Harley Lewis the satisfaction of beating her by submission, Andrea forcefully is able to pull her way to the ropes! Harley looks worried as Andrea is only inches away from the ropes! Andrea keeps pulling herself closer and closer, and she is able to get into arm’s reach! Andrea is going to make it to the ropes-
Jake Mercer: BUT HARLEY LEWIS PULLS ANDREA VALENTINE RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING-
Stew-O: WAIT NO! ANDREA VALENTINE GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AS HARLEY GRABBED HER LEG TO PULL HER BACK, AND THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO FORCE HARLEY OFF! The rope break has been made, as Harley Lewis backs away as the referee has to check on Andrea! Andrea, however, waves off the referee, as with the help of the ropes she is able to get back up to her feet…BUT HARLEY LEWIS FRONT DROPKICKS ANDREA VALENTINE RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! HARLEY LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH ‘CAR CRASH’!!!!-
Flannery McCoy: BUT INSTEAD ANDREA VALENTINE EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER AND CATCHES HARLEY LEWIS WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE! HARLEY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT AS ANDREA IS RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE-…BUT HARLEY LEWIS IMMEDIATELY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!!!! ANDREA RUNS AT HARLEY, BUT HARLEY DUCKS IT AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER FRONT DROPKICK AS ANDREA FALLS RIGHT INTO THE CORNER ONCE MORE!
Jake Mercer: AND THIS TIME SHE ISN’T ABLE TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME, AS HARLEY GRABS A HOLD OF ANDREA VALENTINE, AND CONNECTS WITH THE EXPLORER SUPLEX, PERFECTLY EXECUTING ‘CAR CRASH’ ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT! ANDREA VALENTINE IS OUT OF IT, AND HARLEY LEWIS ATTEMPTS A PIN, LOOKING TO BEAT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! IT CAN BE ALL OVER RIGHT HERE!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTHH-
Stew-O: ANDREA VALENTINE MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Harley Lewis looks up at the referee, frustrated from the kick-out, but he understands that he will have to do more to be able to put away the Universal Women’s Champion! Andrea begins to stir, as Harley makes it back up to his feet. Andrea Valentine meets him up to his feet, and Harley slaps the Women’s Champion right across the face, as a little payback from earlier in this match-…but Andrea will not take too kindly to that at all as Harley runs off the ropes, but she stops him right in his tracks with a double foot stomp right to his toes!
Flannery McCoy: And now Andrea Valentine runs the ropes herself…BUT ANDREA SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES, AND WE DON’T SEE HER DO THIS VERY OFTEN…AS SHE IS ABLE TO DRIVE HER KNEES RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF HARLEY, TAKING HIM DOWN IN THE PROCESS! We often don’t see that from her, but Andrea was able to connect with a springboard meteora variation! Harley is down as Andrea then runs the ropes, connecting with a standing double foot stomp right onto the arm, before transitioning into a double foot stomp right into the chest of the ‘Heartthrob’!!!
Jake Mercer: Harley Lewis manages to get back up to his feet, but that doesn’t do him too good as Andrea Valentine is right there to meet him, and she goes to connect with another spinning back fist, but Harley is able to duck it-…BUT ANDREA SPINS ONCE MORE, AND SHE LEANS DOWN AND CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST INTO THE SIDE OF HARLEY LEWIS! Harley Lewis didn’t expect that turnaround as Andrea was able to catch him right in the side with that spinning back fist!
Stew-O: Harley Lewis is staggering as Andrea Valentine now pulls him towards the ropes, before throwing him off, and catching him with a tilt a whirl headscissors takedown! Harley goes down and Andrea is right back up to her feet, as she runs off the ropes, catching Harley with two boots right to the face! Andrea runs off the ropes once more, but Harley Lewis gets up to his feet and he catches Andrea with a boot right to the face! Andrea is dazed as Harley then grabs Andrea, ripcording her into another big boot!
Flannery McCoy: Andrea Valentine falls down to her knee, as Harley Lewis runs off the ropes, but Andrea is able to duck it, moving out of the way as she grabs Harley by the leg, dropping him down and gets back up to her feet, but Harley does as well-…BUT ANDREA CATCHES HIM WITH AN ENZIGURI! Harley Lewis once more staggers away, and into the ropes as he rebounds, and Andrea catches him with another enziguri, and Harley crumbles right down!
Jake Mercer: Andrea Valentine is able to get herself back up to her feet, as Harley is down and out! Andrea then makes her way onto the apron, as she slowly, but surely, pulls herself up to the top rope! Harley hasn’t moved at all, and Andrea makes her way to the top rope, getting her standing as she looks down at Harley Lewis…AND SHE JUMPS OFF, AND CONNECTS WITH THE ROUNDING MOONSAULT!!! ‘MAGIC HOUR’ CONNECTS AND ANDREA VALENTINE IS ABLE TO COVER HARLEY LEWIS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, THIS IS IT!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: HARLEY LEWIS IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER AS ANDREA VALENTINE QUICKLY DRAGS HARLEY LEWIS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND SHE PUSHES HIM RIGHT INTO THE ROPES, HARLEY LEWIS REBOUNDING AND BACKING INTO ANDREA AS SHE IS ABLE TO JUMP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, AND SHE PULLS HERSELF DOWN AND SPIKES HARLEY LEWIS RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! ‘ATOMIC BLADE’ CONNECTS AS ANDREA VALENTINE GETS ALL OFF OF IT, AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG ONCE MORE, AND THIS TIME IT HAS TO BE IT!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Roll With Me’ begins to blast through the Arena once again to a hugely positive reaction, as Andrea Valentine gets back up to her feet, the Referee handing her the Universal Women’s Championship, and raising her arm in victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…ANDREA VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Harley Lewis brought everything into this Match, but in the end, it wasn’t enough to put the Universal Women’s Champion away, as Andrea Valentine was able to pick up the win!
Flannery McCoy: Andrea Valentine stands victorious here tonight, as Harley Lewis is devastated by his Match. Now we look to later to see if Joso has better luck against the current World Heavyweight Champion, The Visual Prophet! Congratulations, Andrea Valentine!
Jake Mercer: Pfffffft. Knew she was going to win.
Stew-O: You’re really pissing me off tonight.
(Andrea Valentine would continue to celebrate her victory as the Camera fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the EAW Hall of Fame class of 2022.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to the shot of the commentary booth, where Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are seen.)
Stew-O: Once again congratulations to Andrea on her victory against New Era Classic finalist Harley Lewis. While this is our commercial time we would like to take a moment to recap what happened last week on Dynasty, more specifically in the encounter between Universal Women’s Champion the aforementioned Andrea Valentine, and Kassidy Heart.
[SCREENBAR: LAST WEEK ON DYNASTY]
(A series of clips are shown near the end of the segment between Andrea Valentine and Kassidy Heart. Things begin to become heated between the two and it looks like a brawl is about to break out once Andrea signs the contract, making the match official. StarrStan immediately steps in and tries to deescalate the situation before it goes south.)
StarrStan: :whoa: Tensions are high, but you two will get the chance to fight at Pain for Pride when the Universal Women’s Championship is on the line! Until then, I don’t want either of you to-
(Before Starr can finish his sentence, Kassidy drops him with a Double Leg Takedown before landing multiple stiff punches towards his skull. It’s clear that the General Manager’s defenses begin to falter, but while Kassidy gets up Andrea steps in and sends Kassidy into the corner. The two of them lock horns in a brutal brawl while security begins to flood the scene and break the two up. It gets out of hand with Kassidy beginning to fend them off, but regardless the situation is contained. The last shot in the replay is StarrStan being checked on by officials, unresponsive while they try to help him back up.)
(Dynasty then transitions back over to once again focus on the commentary team, with Stew, Flannery, and Jake having solemn looks on their faces. It’s a difference from their usual exciting moods, but it’s clear they’re going to announce some bad news right now.)
Flannery McCoy: It was an unfortunate scene indeed, Stew, and before the show, we managed to get an update regarding the condition of StarrStan. Along with what’s going to happen in regards to Kassidy Heart who was the perpetrator of said attack. And we regret to inform you that Starr, due to the injuries sustained, will be out indefinitely. While I hate to be the bearer of bad news I also have some good news, that being that a replacement will be announced soon. Not just a replacement though, but some other things that might change not only the structure of Friday Night Dynasty itself, but Elite Answers Wrestling as a whole. That is what I’ve been told.
Jake Mercer: What that might be is up in the air, though I do have my theories which I will be posting on the EAW fan forum right after the show. But we also have to talk about Kassidy Heart and what is going to come of her. It has been said that despite the attack she will not be met with any sort of disciplinary action… per the Chairman, Mr. DEDEDE. And business will resume as normal when it comes to the build for her and Andrea Valentine’s match at Pain For Pride.
Stew-O: That is all we have for you right now, but if there are any updates in regards to the situation, we’ll be the first ones to know. Now back to the show!
(The camera heads away from the commentary desk and while people would assume it would transition over to the next match at hand here tonight, instead, it goes to the backstage area of the Crypto.com Arena. The commentary team is seen being broadcasted on a television screen, and the crowd roars into thunderous cheers upon seeing current Universal Women’s Champion Andrea Valentine watching from the side. She has a towel around her neck and a water bottle in her hand having recently come back from her match against Harley Lewis. She adjusts her Championship which rests on her shoulder while the camera pans out to show Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing by, as he begins to speak towards Andrea on cue.)
Michael Belfort: Andrea, as you just saw, we got an update on the situation regarding Kassidy Heart and StarrStan from last week. I know this question is obvious, but I’d like to get your thoughts on what we just heard?
(Andrea bows her head down, looking towards the floor. She thinks for a moment before chuckling, a light smile on her face while she brings her head back up to look at Michael before responding.)
Andrea Valentine: I mean, what do you expect me to say, Michael? Do you want me to say that Kassidy attacking StarrStan was a statement made and I’m shivering to my core? That she sure did intimidate me and her not being suspended or whatever pisses me off? 😡 No, not even close to what I think, in fact, I’m not even surprised to begin with. I wish I could say that it’s blasphemous how Kassidy managed to get away with all of this, but what was I supposed to expect to begin with? Her husband is the Chairman of this company. Of course, Kassidy is going to be the spoiled, privileged, and protected bitch that she is and find her way around it using her position. She can continue to do whatever the fuck she wants, by all means, the fact of the matter is that it is not going to affect me in the slightest. I’m still going to sleep peacefully at night and count the days until I get to retain my Championship at Pain For Pride, that’s all there is and all it’s going to continue to be. 🤷♀️
Andrea Valentine: If anything I’m going to step up and be the one to put cracks in the overprotected armor of hers. She knows if there’s anyone out there in EAW that can do that, it’s me, and she’s trying to induce some fear using her cliche insane bitch mentality to scare me and get me off my game. 😱 But really, it won’t matter. Because I will still be at the top of my game and continue to do my thing, just like what happened out there when I beat Harley Lewis. If there’s one thing I can assume, it’s that Kassidy has a few tricks up her sleeve. And while that might mean that she’s far from through, nothing is going to change. Try as she might, regardless she’s going to end up-
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! FROM BEHIND! KASSIDY HEART JUST BOOTED THE BACK OF ANDREA’S HEAD TAKING HER TO THE MAT! KASSIDY IS HERE AND SHE LOOKS TO SEND ANOTHER MORE PERSONAL MESSAGE TO THE CHAMP! SHE GRABS HER ARMS AND BEGINS TO STOMP DOWN RELENTLESSLY ON THE CHEST OF ANDREA! FROM THERE DROPPING DOWN AND LOCKING IN A SIDE HEADLOCK BEFORE BEGINNING TO UNLOAD ON HER WITH REPEATED SHOTS!
Flannery McCoy: ANDREA WAS DEFINITELY TAKEN OFF GUARD AND THAT HAS LEFT HER ON THE DEFENSE, TRYING TO BRING HER HANDS UP BUT IT’S A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT! SHE TRIES TO PUSH ANDREA OFF BUT KASSIDY HAS A VICE GRIP, CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER WHILE CONTINUING TO LAY IT IN- OH THANK GOD! SECURITY HAS RUSHED IN AND IS NOW TRYING TO PRY A WEDGE BETWEEN THE CHAMPION AND THE CHALLENGER! KASSIDY IS SCREAMING TO GET THEIR HANDS OFF OF HER BUT THEY’VE ALREADY LATCHED ONTO HER ARMS AND ARE TRYING TO PULL AWAY!
Jake Mercer: JUST LIKE LAST WEEK KASSIDY IS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST SECURITY, AND ALTHOUGH HER ARMS ARE TRAPPED SHE’S USING HER LEGS TO KICK THEM AWAY WHICH FORCES SOME OF THEM DOWN! BUT ALONG WITH THE ARMS SECURITY ALSO HAS THE LEGS BEGINNING TO HEAVE HER AWAY! KASSIDY IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE BUT I DON’T THINK THEY’RE GOING TO LET HER REPEAT WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK AGAIN!
(The camera goes over to show Andrea Valentine who is being checked on by officials that have rushed over to her. She grabs her head in pain while slowly trying to get back up to her feet. But it’s not having long-lasting effects on her as she begins to shake it off, getting herself back up and dusting herself off before holding out her hands to back them up, signaling that she’s fine. She looks towards the distance where security dragged Kassidy away, clearly a displeased expression present after the sudden attack. Afterward, she shakes her head and turns around, beginning to make her way over to the locker room area completely phasing it from her head. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(As Friday Night Dynasty returns to the arena, “It Follows” by Cane Hill begins to play and the crowd erupts into boos as Xander Payne wastes no time making his way out onto the stage! He pauses at the top of the ramp, a smirk on his face knowing exactly why he’s getting the reaction that he is before starting down to the ring. Just then, a replay of last week’s Friday Night Dynasty main event begins to play at the portion of the match where Ronn Banks has The Visual Prophet in position for Go To Retirement, only for Xander to appear and cause a distraction that would lead to Banks’ loss.)
Stew-O: If there was any question as to why the EAW Universe is practically trying to boo Xander Payne out of the arena tonight, you just saw why! Banks was looking set to defeat The Visual Prophet, but Xander Payne cost him the match and The Visual Prophet capitalized to get himself a huge win!
Flannery McCoy: It was definitely a huge match that could’ve gone down as something special one way or another with as big of a match-up as that was, but unfortunately for everyone watching, Xander went and tainted it!
Jake Mercer: Viz getting a big win before Pain for Pride :drakelike:!! But Xander definitely got involved at a crucial time in that match and he knows it from the look on his face!
(Xander stands in the middle of the ring, a smug expression on his face as he looks to the tron that had just finished the replay of how he had interfered in the match between Ronn Banks and The Visual Prophet where his distraction had allowed for the World Heavyweight Champion to get the win. Laughing to himself, Xander appears to be more than proud of himself before looking away from the tron over the stage and proceeds to raise his microphone that he got from ringside to address the audience.)
Xander Payne: I can tell from the reaction here tonight that you’re all very upset with the outcome of last week’s main event. You were all rooting for Banks to defeat that The Visual Prophet, and I’m sure you all thought he had it won before I showed up to make an impact, so for that, I have to say…. I don’t give a damn!
(Xander shakes his head with a smirk on his face while he looks around at the booing crowd, continuing to try to drown him out only for Xander to continue.)
Xander Payne: Banks can come back, shit all over the current talent that he meets in the ring and you all blindly cheer for that – but he gets made an example out of at my hands and suddenly there’s a problem? Suddenly you all want to get the pitchforks out and come for my head? Oh, god, the horror! As far as I’m concerned, what happened to Ronn is something that he only had coming his way; he deserved what happened to him, just like he did at Battle of Egypt where I had left him in a puddle of his own blood. There he was as helpless as he could be, looking far from the image that the EAW Universe has of him in their minds as this larger-than-life man who can’t be brought down – and it was all because of me. It really should have you all concerned about just why the hell he would go and want our match at Payne for Pride 5 an Extreme Rules Match, because if you all think that it couldn’t possibly get so much worse than Battle of Egypt? Then all of you, and Banks himself, have absolutely no fucking clue what’s in store for him when the time comes.
Xander Payne: He doesn’t know what he’s asking for, he doesn’t know what kind of person I’ll become but I can promise all of you and him that he’s sure as hell not going to like any of it. He’s not setting himself up to be embarrassed, he’s not setting himself up to just be some fleeting example that people will need to be reminded of like it’ll be easily forgotten – he’s in a prime spot to get absolutely fucking demolished. What’s going to happen is that he’ll have what he thinks is left of his career hanging on by a fucking thread thanks to me the moment that I’m able to get my hands on him, and he’ll realize what a mistake it was for him to pretty much offer himself up for an even worse hell than I could’ve originally put him through before. Because I’ve been through hell, I’ve tasted blood and had it on my hands knowing that it’s something I don’t have to think twice about doing – just ask Andre Walker or Drake King who’ll tell you regardless of the outcomes that I most certainly left my mark on them without the slightest bit of hesitation, without a single glint of remorse under the stipulations of hardcore rules. Ask anyone else who’s been in the ring with me under such circumstances and you’ll find that they know what I’m capable of when it comes to winning just as much.
Xander Payne: Maybe he thinks bringing this match of ours back to EAW’s roots with this shit is going teach me some kind of lesson, that he’s going to open my eyes to some profound moment – but it’s only going to end with me coming out on top. See, there’s nothing he could teach me because I’ve heard one of his biggest lessons, one that continues to be heard throughout the halls and corridors of EAW to this very day: “trust the process”. I used to believe that and tried to live by it, but all it ever did was lead me astray regardless of how much hope I had, regardless of what I did when guys like Ryan Adams would take World Championships in the same match I’d be in or when someone of a bygone era like Lethal Consequences was winning an entire Elimination Chamber Match over me – and I realized I had to make my own way without that thought process. I did it all, but after I lost the World Heavyweight Championship at House of Glass this season and returned this year back to loss after loss, setback after setback, it was just a reminder that “trusting the process” doesn’t make things easier – it’s just a fickle thing to give naive people false hope. So, when I’m cracking Ronn Banks open at Payne for Pride 5, when he’s unrecognizable with all of the blood that’ll be guaranteed to be spilling down his own face – what hope is he going to have? Because I-
???: Are you fucking done yet?
(The interruption brings a look of confusion to Xander’s face and he turns to the stage, having to look up at the tron where Ronn Banks himself is appearing! The crowd shakes the arena with cheers as they spot Banks as well, Xander rolling his eyes at the reception.)
Xander Payne: What, are you too ashamed to show yourself here in the arena and step into the ring with me after what happened last week? Coming back just to lose to someone who we’ve seen rely on students once from his mess of a so-called school to do his dirty work, it’s understandable.
(Banks shakes his head, hardly surprised by the insult as the slightest bit of a laugh comes from him.)
Ronn Bank$: That’s hardly an issue. If I had a score to settle about something as little as that, then trust me, you’d know it for yourself. But whatever you thought you did or whatever you thought you might’ve proven with last week’s bullshit, it doesn’t matter. See, while you’re in the ring wasting everyone’s time and boring the crowd, the locker room, and the people watching from home with your shitty excuse of a sob story as to how the “process” failed you at times because you just couldn’t accept that you just weren’t as ready as you thought were at those times and evidently still had so much more to learn – I’m doing you and all of them a favor right now by shutting you up. It’s as simple as you being jaded after all the opportunities you had just to only let yourself down – I’m sure I don’t even need to get into an example like that fucking mess of a PURE Championship reign you had that sank like a fucking brick when you should’ve had your foot on the gas, but you thought a proven philosophy was what was failing you?
Ronn Bank$: Too many times have I seen or heard people come into EAW gassed up on their own hype or what they thought they knew just to not understand how they didn’t get what they wanted they thought they should’ve gotten it. The lack of accountability, the lack of ownership in your own mistakes – it’s a story that I’m sure people who even aren’t me are all too familiar with whether it can be applied to themselves or someone else that they know, because EAW sure as hell has had plenty to span the course of all the changes this company has gone through. Before you took your shot at me at Battle of Egypt, I was very open that week about how all of #EAW15 came about with what I had to do for it to be a success and I was more than honest about my intentions as a whole – a whole lot more forward than what everyone’s getting from you right now. You want to blame other people for certain points in your career, but it’s no one’s fault but your own for the mentality you’ve had.
Xander Payne: It’s easy to say that when you’re coming and going as you please, not even involved in this the way that I am anymore. You come back, beat aspiring talent like it does anything for them, and you get everyone eating out the palm of your hand because of who you are – not because of what you’re actually doing when you step into the ring.
Ronn Bank$: What am I doing, exactly? Not “uplifting” today’s talent? No one should ever feel entitled to a damn thing from me between those ropes, especially not when they go talking shit about my family and damn sure not after they want to go beating me open with the ring bell having tried to prove a point. Like I’ve said before, guys like you and Jake Smith come at me the way that you do and you expect it to go one way because of what ideas you or anyone else have of what should happen when I make these appearances and you find the balls to challenge me thinking I won’t fuck your whole life up – but I’d never just let anyone do what the fuck they want at my expense just so they can feel entitled to a bigger platform. Entitlement, ego, what you “expect” to go your way only to get brought back to reality more times than you care to remember – a combination of traits that’s been your own worst enemy at times and they’re starting to show now. The point is, I don’t have the patience for your bullshit, nor does anyone else, because no one’s here for that or to listen to you blame other people for any problems you’ve run into – and I’m certainly not at the Evelyn Convention Center just for show.
Xander Payne: I- what? You’re where?!
Ronn Bank$: Oh, what, did you go and forget that it existed? Not surprised since it’s something you don’t even go on talking about anymore.
(Ronn shrugs just as the scene expands to show that he’s inside the very same building, which was a significant place in Xander’s coming up in the wrestling industry. Despite it being previously abandoned for a number of years and Xander’s attempts at its restoration, it remains a personal and sentimental location for Xander as it was an important place in his career through his time in the independent circuit. A place where he won his first major Championship at the time prior to signing to EAW, where he’d been scouted to eventually go on to the very same company that he currently stands in the ring of tonight. Banks currently stands in the abandoned ring, the ring ropes ripped and seats that would otherwise fill the venue as the restoration process clearly hasn’t been completed.)
Xander Payne: What the fuck are you doing there?!
Ronn Bank$: Does it matter? The only purpose it ever served was to compete with The Visual Prophet Leadership Academy, but this was just some uninspired bootleg that I guess you could say… didn’t come close to having anything similar in its creative vision :troll:. But hey- hey, don’t get mad! Fix your face and calm down, I’m sure high blood pressure can’t be good for your health at all and it won’t do you any good if you can’t make it to Pain for Pride!
Xander Payne: Fuck you! You’ve got no business-
Ronn Bank$: Actually, I’ve got plenty of business here. But like I was saying, trying to maintain the upkeep or attention that something like this requires isn’t for everyone. And for you? It’s fitting. You go through your phases, and get knocked down with no clue what to do with yourself – it’s exactly why whatever you planned to do with this Center isn’t nearly as talked about, not nearly as important as you wanted it to be. It’s almost like you never even really cared about it to begin with, especially once it wasn’t necessary anymore for you to be talking about it like you had been. It’s why I’m sure that you won’t care what happens to it now, that you won’t care what I’m about to do to it.
(Xander scowls as he watches on as Banks reaches down for something out of the view of the camera, coming up back and having picked up a gas can. The sight of the red container and the label that’s blatantly directed at the camera is all Xander needs to see to know exactly what it is, and what Banks plans to do with it.)
Xander Payne: DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
Ronn Bank$: I came all this way though, and I’m not about to start doing a half-assed job now.
Xander Payne: YOU-
(But Banks has already tipped the gas can over, and Xander and the buzzing EAW Universe watch on as gasoline is emptied onto the ring mat. A grin is on Banks’ face as he makes his way around the canvas, gasoline splashing on the mat.)
Xander Payne: STOP IT!
Ronn Bank$: Nah, I don’t think I will! It’s not like I’m gonna be letting up at Pain for Pride, either, and if you can’t handle what actually happens to you there, then how much trouble are you going to be when you can’t take it anymore? What’ll happen to Xander Payne when…
(Banks digs into pocket, retrieving a pack of matches and it’s enough to have Xander starting to pace back and forth. He’s shaking his head, face red from anger knowing that he can’t do anything to stop Banks from continuing on the path that he’s going down.)
Ronn Bank$: …everything you envisioned for yourself goes up in flames?
(Banks stands at the sagging, unkempt ring ropes and strikes the match, watching the small fire for a moment before he steps out onto the apron and lets the matchstick fall to the mat just as he drops down to his feet at ringside. Xander watches on angrily as the dilapidated ring is set on fire, but Banks gets another gas can from ringside and works his way around the burning ring with more gasoline spilling to the floor. Another match is lit and it doesn’t take long for the area around the ring to go up in flames as well, another fire gets started where the seats would’ve been making it clear that Banks had already gotten started before he even showed up on the tron, and Banks starts to make his way away from everything that’s continuing to burn behind him.)
Ronn Bank$: You need to know who you’re up against – it’s not just anyone, it’s not anything you’re going to be used to, it’s going to be Ronn Banks. You think you’ve been through hell? You don’t know what hell is – not yet, at least, but you’ll know it like you never have before when it comes time for Pain for Pride.
(Banks walks past the camera, the camera focused on the fires that he started and how the flames continue to eat away everything seemingly in sight. Xander watches on as a cut to another view shows the locker room and hallways already burning as well, another sign that Banks had already been at work to orchestrate this, and Xander holds tightly onto the top rope with fury evident on his face just as the feed of the burning building cuts out.)
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Stew-O: :lupe: Banks is clearly more than willing to cross some lines himself – Xander cost him a match, but Banks just upped the ante in a far more personal way that Xander didn’t see coming. It really makes you wonder just what more Banks is going to be willing to get up to at Pain for Pride when they finally meet in that Extreme Rules Match!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but that’s another few weeks away. What I think we should be focused on right now is Xander; he looks like he could go absolutely ballistic and on a rampage at any moment! Is he gonna be okay?! :lupe:
(Just then, Xander screams and kicks at the bottom rope, fingers intertwined while having his hands over his head as he turns away from the ropes and goes back to pacing around the ring. Still seething from what he’s just seen, knowing what damage Banks has done to an important place in his career, Xander is left going through a range of emotions as the scene comes to a close.)

(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show Stephie Love standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following non-title bout is a contest set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Trophies’ by Drake blasts through the speakers as Joso emphatically makes his way out from the backstage area and towards the stage. He circles around, hyping the crowd up before turning his attention towards the ring area. He bears a motivated and determined look on his face, knowing the type of match that he’s in for tonight. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… he is “The Golden Ace”… JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Joso is here tonight and is looking to add another victory to his already impressive record as of late. But contrary to the belief that does not come as easy as expected, in fact, tonight Joso steps into possibly one of the biggest matches of his EAW career against one of the best Elitists that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer. In fact, THE best Elitist that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer.
Stew-O: Well that’s something that Joso knows, but at the same time, he will 100% be up for the challenge that has been put up in front of him. High risk, high reward, and we know if Joso wins that will give him a huge boost and immense bragging rights heading into his finals match at Pain For Pride against Harley Lewis. Harley didn’t have the best of luck against Andrea Valentine earlier in the night, coming up short, and this would be a huge statement to be made if Joso could beat the World Heavyweight Champion here tonight.
Jake Mercer: But tonight might be the first time that Joso misses, although we know that he doesn’t miss. We just don’t know what will happen!
(‘Back To Life’ By Soul II Soul then begins to play up while the crowd begins to boo loudly for The Visual Prophet who begins to make his way out from the backstage area and towards the stage with the World Heavyweight Championship in his hand. He raises it high in the air pridefully with a smirk on his face, before bringing it down to rest on his shoulder. He looks towards the ring, shaking his head towards his opponent, before then beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… currently residing in Engadine, Michigan… weighing in at 240 pounds… he is the Heavyweight Champion of the WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLDDDDDDDDDDDD… “THE FOUNDER OF THE VISUAL PROPHET LEADERSHIP ACADEMY” THE VISUAL PRRRRRRRRRRRRRROPHET!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet is coming off of a big win last week, having beaten Ronn Banks in the main event. Although that was through interference by Xander Payne, I’m sure he’ll take that anyway seeing as though that’s a victory and a huge statement to be made toward Andre Walker who was at ringside watching the entire thing.
Stew-O: Well we also saw what happened afterward when both Andre and Viz engaged in a huge brawl to cap off the show. The two of them have a lot of bad blood and who knows if something like that is going to play into this match here tonight. Joso is not someone to sleep on, but losing to him would definitely be a talking point for Andre and something to criticize.
Jake Mercer: That would suck. But I’m sure Viz could handle it like it was just another day in the office. If you ask me for my opinion? VIZZY GOT THIS IN THE BAG!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: We are underway now as The Visual Prophet and Joso lock up in the ring. Prophet with a takedown around Joso’s waist as he uses his superior strength and experience to his advantage. Prophet looking to take control from the outset here but Joso slithers free and goes for the leg of Prophet. But Prophet standing tall as he won’t let Joso lift his leg to take him down. That leg is down firmly and Joso can do nothing about it. Prophet kicks Joso into the air with his leg sending him flying into the corner!
Stew-O: Joso pulls himself up in the corner but The Visual Prophet comes charging in at high speed. The massive muscular arm of Prophet slams into Joso as he connects with a Running Clothesline into the corner. Joso falls forward from the impact but Prophet catches him and brings him up. Prophet swings Joso around up over his shoulder before charging and jumping! Prophet drives Joso down right through the mat with a Running Powerslam! Prophet with the cover as the entire ring is shaking from the sheer force of that maneuver!! The cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOWOOWOOOOSOSOOWOOOO-
Jake Mercer: Joso kicks out! Joso avoids missing by kicking out! Prophet grabs Joso by the throat hoisting him off the mat and back up to his feet. Prophet with a hard shove sending Joso off the ropes. LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO! Joso ducks beneath the Running Lariat from Prophet! Joso off the ropes as he runs behind Prophet and leaps towards him! A Flying Crossbody! No! Prophet catches Joso horizontally as he flies through the air! The slam! No! Joso spins around avoiding the slam and catches Prophet around the neck! Spinning Tornado Whirlwind DDT connects! Joso driving Prophet into the mat with force!
Flannery McCoy: Joso has a chance now as he runs the ropes and connects with a Lionsault onto the Champion The Visual Prophet who looks shook by Joso’s sudden offense! Joso to the top rope… Flying Double Foot Stomp connects down right to the gut of Prophet who begins to heave in pain from the impact! His internal organs gotta be all kinds of fuckety fucked up after that! Joso to the cover omg omg omg!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: TH-
Stew-O: But The Visual Prophet kicks out with so much force it sends Joso flying into the air making him do a backflip in midair before landing on the top of his head. Both men down as they slowly recover back up to their feet for the next phase of this contest. It looks like Prophet is up fir… no wait! Joso suddenly springs back up and begins hammering Prophet in the corner. Prophet appears to be surprisingly winded early in the match as Joso looks to take advantage. Hard shots to the head before Joso uses all of his power to lift Prophet up to the top rope! Possibly going for a Super Back Drop here! No! Prophet is fighting back! Repeated elbow strikes to the head as Prophet fights Joso off! Prophet hauls off with a hard back elbow strike nailing Joso right in the jaw sending him flying! Joso goes off the top landing crotch first on the top rope and that has to be painful!
Jake Mercer: The Visual Prophet manages to avoid taking a no doubt devastating plunge right there. Joso falls off the ropes to the ground and he is in a lot of pain as Prophet recovers on the top rope. Could Prophet be planning to go high risk from that position?!?!? No, wait! Joso recovers rolling out to the apron! Joso leaps up to the top rope behind Prophet and leaps over top of him! SUNSET FLIP FROM THE TOP ROPE! JOSO INTO THE COVER!!! JOSO FOR THE WIN! NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO GET A KICK OUT! And unlike what Jake said, just for clarification, this is not a Championship match.
Jake Mercer: Oh yeah my bad I got too excited.
Stew-O: Despite it not being for the World Heavyweight Championship, Joso’s performance tonight might be deserving of a Championship shot if he’s able to beat the Champion here tonight clean as a whistle. His ability to attack the Champion and beat down on him is impressive as multiple times throughout this match has Viz been left on the defense and forced to defend against the rapid-fire assault that Joso has been throwing at him. Viz drags himself towards the corner, realizing the situation that he’s in right now, meanwhile watching Joso approach him and hunt him down like prey. Joso now begins to stomp down on him repeatedly in the corner, making sure that Viz has absolutely no way to recover in this matchup while he can. Joso then grabs the leg of Viz and drags him towards the center of the ring, what could he be going for here… he locks in an STF!
Jake Mercer: Joso has one hell of a submission locked in right now and Viz finds himself in a position where he might just need to tap out! Joso has him trapped at the center of the ring and you can see Viz right now scratching and clawing at the canvas trying to force himself towards the ropes, and that’s something that he might be able to do considering the strength and power that Viz has in him and what that has done for his matches over the years! Viz uses all of his powers to keep going, but Joso continues to drop all of his weight and keep the hold locked in even tighter! Will Viz tap out right here!!! He can’t quite reach the ropes right now, but he still persists as he shifts himself sideways and reaches out his arm… BEFORE GETTING HIS HAND AROUND THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE VISUAL PROPHET SURVIVES ANOTHER DAY IN THIS MATCHUP AND JUST TAKE A LOOK AT JOSO’S REACTION!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Joso looks absolutely pissed at the persistence of The Visual Prophet as the referee counts but he immediately releases the hold. It’s clear that he didn’t expect that whatsoever and anticipated keeping Viz down and furthermore forcing him to tap out. You know that was something on his mind and if he was able to do that he could possibly pull out the biggest win in his EAW career. But that’s not happening!
Stew-O: Joso stomps down on Viz repeatedly before he gets up, mounting on top of him before beginning to hammer away with repeated strikes towards the face forcing The Visual Prophet to block each of them! From there he grabs him by the arm before beginning to drag him towards the center of the ring, pulling him up… before nailing him with a brutal Short-Arm Clothesline to the head which drops him down to the canvas! Joso now grabs him and pops him up to his feet… JOSO IS GOING FOR ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’! THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER TO VIZ TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS HEADFIRST!
Flannery McCoy: BUT VIZ COUNTERS HIM BY LIFTING HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Joso is hurt while he stumbles back up to his feet, he definitely expected that to connect but clearly it just didn’t happen while he turns around… AND IS MET BY A KISS TO THE HEAD WHICH CONNECTS OUT OF NOWHERE!!! THE VISUAL PROPHET WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Referee: EEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… THE VISUAL PROPHETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
(‘Back To Life’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena once again while The Visual Prophet begins to get himself back up to his feet. He shakes his head in pain before falling against the ropes, but slowly but surely he collects himself as he begins to make his way toward the center of the ring. The referee raises his hand high in the air after handing him the World Heavyweight Championship as Viz celebrates another victory in the books from there.)
Flannery McCoy: While Joso did put up a fight, The Visual Prophet manages to win tonight. Joso laid it all on the line against a very game World Heavyweight Champion, but in the end, it wasn’t enough as the ‘Kiss to the Head’ connected and knocked him out. It truly did come out of nowhere and now Viz manages to stand tall over the New Era Classic Finalist.
Stew-O: You have to wonder how Harley is feeling, relief that his Pain For Pride opponent doesn’t have the high ground over him? Or immense satisfaction knowing that he watched him fall tonight? Or even Andre watching Viz win tonight, he didn’t respond once again like last week, who knows what he might have up his sleeve especially seeing as though there are two weeks left until Pain For Pride. It is sure a mystery to behold that’s what I’ll say for certain. Nonetheless, this match is set and sealed, and Viz managed to come out on top through it all, congratulations to the World Heavyweight Champion!
(Viz is seen rolling out of the ring clutching his Championship in his arms, he raises it one more time to the boos of the crowd before turning around and beginning to make his way up the ramp and towards the stage. The camera goes over to show the referee checking on Joso to see if he’s okay, which he clearly is as he pushes him away, but at the same time, he is displeased about the result here tonight, walking into this match anticipating another win under his belt. But he shakes his head and rolls out of the ring before taking his leave as well. The last shot seen is The Visual Prophet disappearing through the backstage area while Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty transitions over to show the backstage area of the Crypto.com Arena. The camera goes over to show former New Breed Champion Jon Kelton who is sitting on a production crate on his phone. The crowd gives a mixed reaction towards him as he turns it off and looks upward towards the camera, beginning to speak.)
Jon Kelton: This close to Pain For Pride, I’ve had the time to reflect on my Season as of late. On Dynasty, I’ve been making a name for myself. But before that, it wasn’t easy, no, actually it was pretty hard. I was in limbo at the start of the Season, competing on Saturday Night Showdown and continuing what I was doing the previous Season, coming in to take the pin, that was all there was to it. That is all I was doing there, just losing day in and day out with no clear direction. Even when I thought I was going somewhere, it didn’t happen, and all I was told was to “trust the process”. I began to lose faith, I lost faith in myself and my abilities. I thought about retiring, I was going to just pack up my bags and go home. It was seeming like I was never going to win another match again and EAW just wasn’t for me, like it didn’t need me. My heart wasn’t in it anymore, maybe I needed to look into something else, like a job at Starbucks or something.
(Jon Kelton stands in silence for a moment to let it all sink in.)
Jon Kelton: Despite that, I kept pushing forward. Ridding away all those feelings of self-doubt and continuing to roll with the punches. Even when there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel, I still found the motivation to keep going. And I’d like to say that worked out, because then I ended up winning the New Breed Championship from Amir Yusuf. That got me from the bottom of the mountain to nearing the top, and at the same time painting a red X on my back. Making me a target to anyone that wanted a shot at me. Not a lot of people supported the thought of me being a Champion, specifically a New Breed Champion. They thought I was supposed to be beyond this, but instead, I used this as a refresher for who I am, and what I’m capable of. People may hate and give me slack for winning the New Breed Championship later in my career, but there is no denying the impact that I have made as New Breed Champion. I have had a title reign that few people before me ever could and have revived the division to the best that it has ever been under my leadership. But all things must come to an end, and I ended up losing the title to Alex Myers a few weeks back.
(Kelton thinks back to Battle of Egypt for a moment, reminiscing on what happened, before continuing to speak.)
Jon Kelton: Even when I was Champion, I wasn’t satisfied with the position I was in. I had bigger goals and losing the New Breed Championship allowed me to focus on that heading into Pain For Pride. So even in defeat, I got back up and became better than ever. Now I realize that the sky is the limit, and there is no giving up. There is only the struggle, there is only getting better day by day no matter how long it takes. I get better every day, every match, every win, every loss, it doesn’t matter. That is how I found myself in the Cash in the Vault match, a match that I competed in last year as well. I know I wasn’t successful in that endeavor, but this year? This year is different. I am the best I’ve ever been, and I come into this match with the knowledge that I have gained not just from Pain For Pride XIV but this entire Season as well. The knowledge that I’ve acquired to make things different, and the knowledge that I need to walk out victorious.
(Kelton leans forward and looks directly at the camera, a determined look on his face while he does so.)
Jon Kelton: As much as people want to believe I fell off after I lost the New Breed Championship, in fact, it was just a very small blip on the radar. I’m not the same person that I was at the beginning of the Season, I’ve proven that I’m well beyond competing for a New Breed Championship. My path has just started, and I am going to see it through. It starts with Cash in the Vault and it ends with me as World Champion, win or lose. I’ve gone through more adversity than anyone else in this match. I’ve endured more, and I’ve been given less. I know the type of opponents I’m going to be up against, and I’m sure everyone in the match is going to be saying the same thing about how much they want this and how it’s their time and I’m not going to be a factor in that. And they can say what they want, but I’ve proven myself to be capable with or without others’ cosigning. If this entire Season has taught me two things, it’s 1) That I’m capable of a lot more than I ever knew, and 2) If you climb high enough even a nightmare can look like a dream. And that’s exactly what I plan to do. Cash in The Vault is the chance that I’ve been looking for, and it’s not going to slip through my fingers twice. At Pain For Pride, I’m going to show everyone exactly why I am ‘The Chosen One’.
(Jon Kelton smirks to the camera before walking off set as the monitor displays a match graphic for the Cash in the Vault Ladder Match at Pain for Pride. That’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty transitions to elsewhere.)
(‘Dolla Sign Slime’ by Lil Nas X and Megan Thee Stallion blares through the speakers of the Crypto.com Arena, as spotlights shine in gold and red alternates of colours. The atmosphere is almost like one in a Free Per View, but toned down just enough to be expected from a weekly show. Everyone is on their toes waiting for Serenity to come out and she does with class and style. The people in the front row try their very best to bow down to her, and she accepts their attempt, but shrugs them off as inferiors. Smoke pops off behind her, as she gracefully walks down the entrance ramp and takes in the orderly manner in which people praise her from the audience. They don’t respect her, they fear her, and yet she considers that to be a success. Everyone who isn’t trying to praise her is in silence, some boos heard as Serenity scans the arena and shuts them all up. The moment she gracefully climbs the steel steps and stands on the top rope, everyone begins picking themselves up, waiting for her next opponent.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing in at 125 pounds, LA REINNNNNAAAAA, Serenity Valdez!
Jake Mercer: La Reina, babeh! It’s her in all her glory, and damn she’s basking it all in. Fuck all the haters, and we know that she’s the favorite walking into this match. Every match she’s been in has been a banger, and we are definitely awaiting what she has in store for this match, against quite a similar opponent in terms of style, definitely not in terms of success. We know she’s had a lot of experience in EAW, and has really cemented herself as one of Dynasty’s rising female competitors, and is hoping to make a statement against her opponent here tonight.
(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL rapidly takes over the fading theme, as Nariko comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Nobody there fears her as much as Serenity, yet, Nariko is not bothered by this at all. Clad in a black jacket, she patiently walks down the entrance ramp and climbs up the steel steps, eyeing Serenity and making sure she gets in her head. Serenity is not fazed, yet Nariko enters through the middle of the ropes and stands on the top rope, taking in the reactions before jumping down and warming herself up, getting ready for a potential war. She takes the jacket off, tossing it to the outside and waiting for the bell to ring. She looks as focused as ever, but so does her opponent.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent, from Fukuoka, Japan— weighing in at 103 pounds, she is the BBBLLLLLAAAAACCCKKKK SWAAAAAAAN, NAAAAAARRRRRIIIIKKKKOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: After a devastating loss against Joso and a few weeks of silence, Nariko has spoken and seems to be better than ever. Time will tell if this remains and keeps on going, but we damn sure hope it does. Nobody wants to see any of these women lose, nobody. Nariko is looking to bounce back, and hopefully climb that ladder to ascend to EAW royalty, but she has to take out the queen first. This won’t be an easy task, but the way Nariko has carried herself, it seems like she’s up for it and then some.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: Both ladies are locked in and Nariko looks more focused than she ever has been in the past. It’s clear that neither Nariko or Serenity look to let each other win, and despite both women’s high-flying and rather striking style, they’re looking to go for a grappling match to start this match off! They’re locking hands, going for a Test of Strength, but Serenity’s height and weight advantage allows her to power Nariko through, which Nariko is not allowing! She has her core tight, and stands her ground amidst the face of pure intimidation. Nariko and Serenity are at a standstill, but Serenity pulls her in and strikes her with a knee lift! Nariko barely blocked it with her shoulder, and Serenity knows what to do further damage on!
Jake Mercer: Serenity is wasting absolutely no time, Nariko and Serenity eye to eye with Nariko showing no signs of giving up this early on. Serenity lowers her ground, and attempts to stalk Nariko, but Nariko lowers her ground as well, and both of them engage in a collar-elbow tie up! Serenity pushes Nariko back and reels her in, going for a headlock! Like a judo-throw, she releases one hand and flips Nariko over, putting pressure on her neck and back, but Nariko is using her agility to her advantage here! Nariko puts her in a headscissors, Serenity pushes it off and both of them are back to square one! It’s been a pretty close fight from the get go, and Nariko comes out the gate with kicks to Serenity’s thigh! Serenity is brought down to one knee, and Nariko rebounds off the ropes!
Stew-O: But she doesn’t let that happen! Serenity is still fresh and focused, and the two meet halfway as Serenity strikes her with an elbow smash! Nariko is dazed as well, and Serenity attempts to go off the ropes for a Running Knee, but it doesn’t connect! Nariko catches her in momentum as well, and strikes her with a giant headbutt! Both of them have gotten a piece of each other, and Nariko is going in for the strikes of her own! She’s landing hard blows to the spine of Serenity, and Serenity is down on one knee, hoping to finally get some offence later on in the match! For now, it’s all Nariko though, as Nariko strikes her with a knee of her own! Serenity has met the power of the 4’11 superstar, and it’s shocking!
Flannery McCoy: Both women are putting on a striking classic early on in the match, and Nariko attempts to go for a knee of her own, but Serenity dodges in the nick of time! She gets up off her feet, hooks one arm and throws her overhead for a Half and Half Suplex! Nariko’s momentum is being disrupted, and Serenity looks to regain hers as she begins striking down on her with fists and forearms! Serenity shoves her into the turnbuckle, and begins landing open hand palm strikes to different parts of her upper body! Damn, this is a legit shoot fight out here and we love to see it!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, yeah. Calm your horses, Flannery. This is nothing compared to what I see on the daily. It’s up there though. Serenity begins stomping away at Nariko’s stomach, putting her in a sitting position on the corner, and pressing on her with her boot! The referee isn’t able to go for the count, as Serenity easily takes it out before he can. He’s drawing Serenity to step back, and Nariko gets up, causing Serenity to attempt to strike her with a right hook—
Stew-O: But Nariko refuses to let that shit happen to her! Not now, not ever, and she blocks it, landing a slap of her own, and jumping up for a bicycle kick! The tip of her foot just landed on Serenity’s nose, and it might be one newton of force away from bleeding! Serenity sees a trickle of blood, and immediately knows what timing Nariko’s on, and immediately a fierce expression forms on her face! Serenity begins striking Nariko with a Bicycle Kick of her own, and this time, Nariko’s nose produces a stream of blood! She uses this to her advantage, and hits her with a Tornado DDT!
Jake Mercer: And it seems like Serenity isn’t looking to go for the cover! Nariko bounces off into a standing position, but is dazed and confused, almost like she’s lost amidst all the chaos! Serenity knows what she has to do, and she begins stepping up on Nariko’s leg, and hits a powerful Step-Up Enzuigiri! Serenity knows that there’s only one way to put Nariko out, and by doing so, she must dig deep within her soul! Serenity picks Nariko up, but Nariko begins striking at her stomach, and pushes her against the ropes! Serenity rebounds off it, only to be met with a jumping knee strike! Nariko rebounds off the ropes, and this time lands a Tornado DDT of her own!
Flannery McCoy: Both women look evenly matched, and it seems like either of them are hoping for a miracle to put the other out! Nariko is not giving up, but neither is Serenity Valdez! Both of these women are damn tough cookies to crack, and it’s only a matter of time before one of them does, though. Nariko doesn’t go for the cover, but attempts to pick her up, and goes for chops of her own! Serenity stumbles into the corner, and Nariko goes for a Stinger Splash, but Serenity side steps it! Nariko got face planted right into the corner turnbuckle, and Serenity takes this as an opportunity to nail her with a kick to the back of the knees!
Stew-O: It’s only a matter of time before one of these strikes actually breaks someone’s skull, and I think it’s going to happen sooner than we think! Serenity begins pushing her face into the middle turnbuckle, and both women are very fond of using the corners at this very moment! Serenity pushes her face into it once more, and Nariko is holding her teeth in pain! Nariko begins to attempt to use the ropes as leverage, but Serenity picks her up and goes for a German suplex! She releases it, and she begins to stalk Nariko, but as she goes for a Recoil, Nariko picks her up and throws her down for the powerbomb! She goes for the cover, the first of the match!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: And Serenity kicks out! Nariko didn’t really follow through, and that might’ve cost a chance at taking her out for good! Nariko begins stomping at her, trying to put the favourite of the match out and about! Serenity is on the ground, and Nariko drops down, locking her arm and wrenching back for a Fujiwara Armbar! Serenity is trying to get to the ropes, but she knows it isn’t a viable option. Using her experience, she begins striking at the back of Nariko’s head, forcing her to release the hold!
Jake Mercer: Serenity holds her arm, and Nariko is looking to go for a stalking of her own, and she lunges at her, but Serenity catches her off guard with the El Ultimo Baile! The codebreaker takes out Nariko, and Serenity goes for the pin of her own, with the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEE!
Referee: TTTTTWWWWWWWOOO!
Referee: THHHHREEEEEE-
Stew-O: And Nariko kicks out! Serenity can’t believe it! Her opponent is not giving up and not budging, and to say that it’s surprising her would be a major understatement! Nariko and Serenity are at a standstill right now, and Serenity keeps her on the ground, attempting to take to the skies at this very moment! Serenity climbs the turnbuckle, braces for impact and jumps up for a frog splash, but no! Nariko got the knees up, and Serenity just had a pretty bad landing right there!
Jake Mercer: Ye, that didn’t look too good. It’s only a matter of time before Nariko and Serenity are going to end up killing each other, and Nariko tries to get up to her feet, and tosses Serenity in between the middle turnbuckle and the top! Nariko heads to the apron, and runs full speed ahead for the Eternal Silence! Serenity just got knocked the fuck out, and Nariko knows that this might be her moment! She enters back inside the ring, gets her up and hits her with five chops! NARIKO! NARIKO! NARIKO! NARIKO! NARIKO! It’s just all her at this very moment, and both women are close to bloodied at this point, the blood trickling down from their noses!
Flannery McCoy: And Nariko seems to be looking back at the crowd! The back of her head is faced towards Serenity, and I don’t know whether or not she’s aware of what Serenity is capable of! Serenity launches herself off the turnbuckle and strikes her in the head with a HIT THE LIGHTS! The Running Knee just took Nariko out, and it’s over! She goes for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
Referee: TWWWWWOOOOOO!
Referee: THHHHHREEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: AND YOUR WINNER, SERENITY VALDEZ!
(Serenity celebrates at the centre of the ring, the crowd silent and in awe at her striking ability. Nariko rolls out, unconscious.)
Stew-O: Definitely an awe inspiring performance by two ladies who’ve given it their blood, sweat and tears. Good effort from Nariko, but Serenity comes out on top today!
(Serenity Valdez rolls herself out of the ring and sits on the apron, trying to catch her breath…)
???: Serenity! Serenity! ¡Pone atención aquí!
(Serenity Valdez looks up at Ximena Velasquez, who pops up on the screen of the titantron. The location may not look familiar to EAW Universe, but it looks quite familiar to Serenity, who is more than familiar with the background of the location. Ximena has a huge smile on her face as the Specialists Championship is sat perfectly on her muscular shoulder. With her posture, you can tell that Ximena has the confidence and command of the EAW Universe that lets them know that she is the champion.)
Ximena Velasquez: Good, good. I wasn’t sure if the camera was picking up any signal, but I can see you very clearly. Just like I was able to see that match [talks about results]…But, it’s unfortunate that I couldn’t be on Dynasty tonight, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been productive all week. Oh no, a champion like myself is always keeping herself busy, and with it being Pain for Pride season and all, you always gotta keep yourself on your toes. You never know what’s going to hit you and based on what occurred last week, I know that I’m going to be dealing with a very angry serpent who will be looking for her opportunity to strike. In a way, it makes sense that I’m not in that arena tonight, Serenity. Instead, I’m in…
(The camera zooms out as she’s in…Serenity Valdez’ office space in Tijuana, Mexico. When the camera zooms out, you can clearly see that it’s a quite spacious office with a giant throne being suited as her main chair. The throne is so gigantic, that Serenity looks like a small child sitting on it. There is a pink metallic ‘L’ shaped table with a computer on each side. It looks like your typical office space with a wonderful view of ‘La Revu’ which is a lively part of Tijuana where there are street murals, designer galleries, cafes, restaurants, hotels, and craft shops. There’s honestly a place for anything and everything, so that makes it perfect for her.)
Ximena Velasquez: If you haven’t figured it out, tontinta. I’m in your office in Tijuana. Such a cute little space you got here, but I’m going to take a seat and we’ll have a long-distance chit-chat, okay? You see, there are a lot of things that I need to get off my chest. There’s going to come a day where I say it to your face, but I figured it would be best that we’re in two different locations because…you don’t seem to have the best temper.
(The camera quickly pans to Serenity Valdez in the Crypto.com Arena who is gesturing for Ximena Velasquez to say what she’s saying to her face.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Say it to my face, pussy. I dare you. 🗣
Ximena Velasquez: Honestly, I can’t seem to understand why we can’t have a civil conversation, Serenity. How about we talk about the reason why I’m not in the same arena as you tonight? I know how people are going to easily turn this around and claim that I am being nothing, but a coward, but I know that there’s going to be a time and place when we settle our differences. Last week, I felt like there was a reason why the referees held us back and it was because fate didn’t want us to clash. Fate didn’t want us to get our hands on each other because it knows that it won’t be good for you, Serenity. Do you remember last week? Do you remember how you got me disqualified and ruined my chances of reaching the finals of the Iconic Cup and winning the entire thing? You ruined my chances of being able to control my own destiny and become Universal Women’s Champion.
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) You are the reason why I am not in those Iconic Cup finals!
Ximena Velasquez: You should have left it even, Serenity. Like the serpent you are, you decided to slitter your way into costing me the match against Harper. You knew that your only shot at getting your hands on me and this Specialists Championship is by eliminating anything that could hold me back and the Iconic Cup was one of those things. You cost me the match with that useless Sierra and I cost you the match with Hikari. You could have called it even and we could have moved on from the past. Instead, you couldn’t accept that. Remember that ‘mature’ energy that you had when the match with Harper Lee didn’t go your way at Reckless Wiring? Well, where is it?
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I’m done with that energy. I want nothing more than to kick your ass at Pain for Pride. Meet me halfway, bitch! Let’s see if that bark got some bite in her! Let’s meet in San Clemente!
(Ximena Velasquez finds it amusing that Serenity Valdez wants to fight and is willing to meet her halfway so that they can fight. She gives a small chuckle before continuing on.)
Ximena Velasquez: See, this is the temper issue that I was talking about. Your temper has led us to this road. It has led us to take this rough road for Pain for Pride. It didn’t need to be like this. What’s wrong with things being respected? What’s wrong with having two of the best in this company. You took away all of the chances to become the Iconic Cup winner and now, you’re trying to take away my championship? We’ve had disgusting gringas like Harper Lee tarnish this championship and I will not allow someone from Tijuana of all places, to take this gold away from me. You took that Iconic Cup away from me, Serenity. You took something from me, so now I’m going to take everything away from you…
(The camera zooms even more so that it’s focused on the bottom half of the scenery and that means, the boot on the neck of a panicking Macy Miller, who is shaking and crying at the fight that if she makes the wrong move, Ximena Velasquez is going to break her neck in half. The scene pans back to the Crypto.com Arena as Serenity Valdez doesn’t seem angry, but she seems a little caught off guard with seeing her intern having a boot on her neck.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Don’t you fucking dare…
Jake Mercer: XIMENA VELASQUEZ PICKS UP MACY MILLER BY HER NECK AND THROWS HER AGAINST THE WALL, CAUSING SOME PHOTOS OF SERENITY VALDEZ TO DROP TO THE FLOOR, SHATTERING SOME OF THE GLASS IN THE PROCESS! THEN, XIMENA GETS MACY BY THE BACK OF HER NECK AND THROWS HER TO ANOTHER WALL AS HER BODY DROPS DOWN INSTANTLY!
Stew-O: This is assault, right? Ximena Velasquez doesn’t seem like she’s going to give up anytime soon as she grabs Macy Miller and slams her face-first against the table! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, MACY’S FACE IS SMASHED AGAINST THE TABLE! OH LORD, HER NOSE IS BLEEDING! SHE COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR AS IT SEEMS LIKE XIMENA IS LOOKING TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE CHALLENGER AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Ximena Velasquez throws Macy Miller over the table! Papers, notes, and files are all scattered around the office! Macy is down to the ground as she is trying to crawl herself out of the mess, but Ximena refuses to let this poor woman walk out of the office! Come on, Ximena! I think that you’ve proven your point!
Jake Mercer: IT SEEMS LIKE XIMENA DOESN’T THINK SO AS SHE LIFTS MACY MILLER OFF HER FEET AND CONNECTS WITH ‘XV’ — THE ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB ON TOP OF THE TABLE AS IT COMPLETELY BREAKS THE TABLE DOWN!
(Ximena Velasquez looks down at an unconscious Macy Miller with a cold look on her face.)
???: What the hell are you doing here? Get out of the office!
(A couple of security guards race into Serenity Valdez’ office, but it doesn’t seem like Ximena Velasquez is intimidated whatsoever. It’s almost like she’s brushing off the authority that these securities have. Some of the security race over to check on Macy Miller as other security guards are trying to show Ximena the way out.)
Ximena Velasquez: Gladly.
(The scene ends with Ximena Velasquez exiting the office. It pans back to the Crypto.com Arena with Serenity Valdez completely speechless at what happened to her intern Macy Miller. She had no words to respond to the situation. All Serenity is thinking about what she is going to do to Ximena at Pain for Pride. Now, it has made ‘La Reina’ that much more determined to make sure that she walks out as the Specialists Champion.)
Jake Mercer: What we saw was completely disturbing stuff.
Stew-O: Honestly, I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when Serenity Valdez and Ximena Velasquez are in the same ring! It’s going to get ugly and fast.
(The camera cuts to a commercial for hot dogs.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena while ‘Amerika’ by Rammstein is heard playing in the background. The camera goes over to the ringside area to show Sheridan Müller pulling up a chair for herself and taking a seat at the ringside area near the announcer’s table. She has a serious look on her face as she looks around at the crowd who boos her loudly before focusing her attention on the stage. It then transitions over to show Stephie Love standing in the middle of the ring ready to announce the next match on tact here tonight.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Party Goin’ Dumb’ by Rico Nasty is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena while the crowd begins to cheer loudly for Astraea Jordan who is seen making her way out to the stage from the backstage area. She has a smile on her face as she spreads her arms out and takes a circle around the stage. From there, she then makes her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 165 pounds… ASTRAEA JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well as we saw last week Astraea, during an interview, got laid out by the person at ringside tonight Sheridan Müller. While she ended up injured yet despite that pushed on to win her match, it didn’t stop her from getting her revenge by costing Sheridan her match later in the night and getting the last laugh.
Flannery McCoy: That brings into question whether or not Sheridan is going to interfere and retaliate back after what happened. Or maybe she’ll just stay in her lane and not lay a finger on her, who knows. All I can say for certain is that Astraea has got some tough competition tonight and she’s going to have to focus on that if she wants to get another victory under her belt.
Jake Mercer: Because #AstraeaBetter right guys? Right?
Flannery McCoy: I mean yeah… thanks, Jake.
Jake Mercer: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
(‘Seek and Destroy by Metallica is heard playing up following that to the crowd sounding off with a negative reaction. The camera goes from the ring to the stage to show Halsey Neel making her entrance. She has a serious expression on her face while she shakes off her limbs and warms up, taking a look around at the crowd before beginning to make her way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Birmingham, England… weighing in at 140 pounds… ‘THE RIPPER’… HALSEY NEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Speaking of Sheridan’s match last week, Halsey managed to get the benefits of the Astraea interference by rolling Sheridan up for the victory during her distraction. While she doesn’t really approve of that, seeing it as half a win more than a full one, she’s coming into this match looking to keep that momentum heading into Pain For Pride.
Flannery McCoy: And who knows, maybe an interference from Sheridan might benefit her like last week. But, I highly doubt she would like that. Regardless, she’s focused and ready here tonight and looks to make a statement amidst her Free-Per-View debut in just two weeks.
Jake Mercer: Free-Per-View debut??? You’re stupid, did you not see her in one of those dark matches at Pain For Pride last year? Yeah, she was facing El Landerson. Speaking of Landerson I heard he was banned from EAW is that true?
Flannery McCoy: For starters, she definitely did not fight at Pain For Pride last year considering her debut was this year you idiot, and second, :roman:.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go, this singles match is officially underway folks. Both Halsey and Astraea are beginning to make their way around the ring, focused and ready to go knowing what this match is going to do for them heading into Pain For Pride. Astraea looks to go the collar-and-elbow route, but instantly Halsey steps forward and connects with a stiff forearm strike to the face! That momentarily rocks Astraea for a moment stepping back, she looks impressed but that’s only temporary as she responds back with a forearm of her own! Halsey is hurt momentarily but sends one back! Astraea takes it, before responding- BUT BEFORE SHE CAN HALSEY GOES FOR SOMETHING NEW CONNECTING WITH A KICK TO THE CHEST WHICH LIGHTS UP ASTRAEA JORDAN!
Flannery McCoy: Astraea grabs her chest while Halsey keeps on her tail, STEPPING TO THE SIDE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER ONE THIS TIME TOWARDS HER ABDOMEN! Astraea doubles over BEFORE HALSEY LIFTS HER LEG UP IN THE AIR AND GOES FOR AN AXE KICK TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD- But before that can connect Astraea drops down to avoid it, BEFORE ROLLING TOWARDS HALSEY AND GRABBING HER LEG TO TRIP HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Halsey positions herself on her back, but Astraea quickly swoops in and locks in a grounded headlock! Halsey tries to get herself out of the situation that she’s in, immediately reaching her hands out and scratching at anything she can touch. Astraea has the hold in tight, but Halsey doesn’t want her to have the advantage for so long bringing her legs upward… BEFORE PINNING ASTRAEA’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT WITH A SMALL PACKAGE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: ASTRAEA IS TAKEN BY SURPRISE BUT MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THE TWO COUNT! Both Elitists break contact with one another, scrambling to their feet instantly. HALSEY WASTES NO TIME GOING FOR A RUNNING LARIAT- But Astraea ducks under that before grabbing Halsey from behind, AND GOING FOR AN INVERTED DDT- But Halsey manages to bring one of her legs up and connect with a knee to her face! That forces Astraea to release the hold that she has on her, BEFORE GRABBING HER AND SWINGING HER AROUND BEFORE DROPPING HER ONTO THE MAT WITH A NECKBREAKER! Halsey isn’t done, getting back up to her feet immediately and running towards the ropes… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A LEG DROP TO HER HEAD MAKING SURE THAT SHE’S KEPT DOWN ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: Halsey now grabs Astraea by the arm before tugging her up to her feet, sending her towards the ropes with an Irish whip… drop-down… leap frog… BUT ASTRAEA RETALIATES WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK TO TAKE HALSEY DOWN TO THE MAT! Astraea shakes off the pain that she’s feeling right now while Halsey is down, before running to the ropes while she gets back up… GOING FOR ANOTHER ONE- BUT HALSEY GOES UNDER AND LIFTS ASTRAEA ABOVE HER HEAD BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BRUTAL BACK BODY DROP! Astraea gives a cry of pain while bringing herself up to a seated position, ONLY FOR HALSEY TO DIP DOWN AND GRAB HER BY THE WAIST BEFORE LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: NO! Astraea manages to flip over and land behind her! HALSEY TURNS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS A SWINGING BACK FIST TO THE FACE IN HOPES OF COUNTERING- BUT ASTRAEA DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE GOING UNDER AND GRABBING HALSEY INTO A SNAP POWERSLAM! HALSEY IS TAKEN DOWN WHILE ASTRAEA TRANSITIONS AND PINS HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! GOING FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOO-
Jake Mercer: BUT HALSEY SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP QUICKLY! Astraea looks to go for something else it seems, GRABBING HALSEY’S ARM AND LOCKING IN A CROSS ARMBREAKER! Astraea is tugging at that arm and even if Halsey manages to break free, it’s going to do its damage! Halsey is flailing her free arm around, trying to find a way out of the situation that she’s in but right now that is proving to be a chore! Meanwhile, the legs of Astraea Jordan are pressing down on her while the submission is locked in, keeping her pinned to the mat! But right now that isn’t proving to be a factor with Halsey managing to slowly bring her entire upper body up! She musters out the strength to push through before her arm gets ripped out of her socket, and she does! Halsey begins to slam punches towards the face of Astraea using her free arm trying to force herself out of the submission! And that’s what happens as Astraea loses most of her grip forcing Halsey to slip right out!
Stew-O: Halsey stumbles backward and falls against the ropes while Astraea gets back up clutching at her face, Halsey runs towards Astraea now- But Astraea manages to sidestep before throwing Halsey towards the ropes… ASTRAEA GRABS HER BEFORE LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! From there Astraea takes a step back, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Beautiful athleticism is being shown by Astraea Jordan right now, but at the same time, it seems like Sheridan Müller at ringside doesn’t look all that pleased.
Flannery McCoy: Astraea has phased her out though, more focused on getting the victory than paying attention to her. She grabs Halsey by the head and tugs her back up to her feet, but before she can do anything Halsey manages to start unloading on her with repeated forearm strikes to the face! Astraea is taken by surprise momentarily before she manages to gain her bearings and send some back! The two of them are hammering away at one another right now before Halsey manages to break through and connect with a knee straight towards the abdomen! Halsey from there turns around and runs the ropes once again… BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING ASTRAEA LOOKS TO POP HER UP INTO THE AIR FOR ANOTHER BACK BODY DROP- WAIT! Halsey manages to land on her feet! How she did that is beyond me but Astraea quickly realizes and turns around- BICYCLE KNEE BY HALSEY! She isn’t done though, CONNECTING WITH A YAKUZA KICK TO DROP ASTRAEA! ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEAD’ CONNECTS AS HALSEY DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG OF ASTRAEA! PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHR-
Jake Mercer: BUT ASTRAEA KICKS OUT! Halsey was close, but not close enough. She shrugs it off though as she gets back up to her feet and looks to grab Astraea, but before she can do that Astraea manages to roll out of the ring and get herself out of harm’s way just in time! Halsey isn’t going to let her get a breather though, rolling out of the ring and stomping down on her back forcing her back down to the ring mat before she can get back up! Astraea gives a cry of pain in response before Halsey brings her back up, GRABBING HER AND THROWING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST THIS TIME! Astraea stumbles forward and falls in front of our announcer’s desk, and that’s not all that good considering Sheridan is seated in the vicinity. Halsey pays no mind to that though, bringing Astraea back up to her feet and rolling her back into the ring- But before that can happen Astraea manages to connect with a back elbow towards the abdomen which doubles Halsey over! Astraea now turns around, shifting her body before grabbing Halsey around the waist, AND RUNNING HER FORWARD RAMMING HER SPINE FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE!
Stew-O: Halsey is definitely hurt there while Astraea turns around and rolls her back into the ring. While she does so just look at the glare that she gives Sheridan Müller across the ringside area, there is no love lost between the two after everything that’s happened since Battle of Egypt. Astraea enters into the ring, grabbing Halsey by the head while she’s getting back up to her feet, BEFORE GRABBING HER INTO A FACELOCK AND LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR FOR A SUPLEX! Astraea isn’t done as she keeps a hold of her and rolls onto her front, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND SUPLEX FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Flannery McCoy: Halsey is dropped down to the ground and she knows she’s in trouble right now. She’s keen on taking advantage of this match and knows she can, but that’s something that Astraea has knowledge of as well and is going to make sure that she keeps the pressure on her. She’s looking to do that with efficiency waiting for Halsey to get back up to her feet… ASTRAEA GOES FOR ‘POWER OF EQUALITY’! EMERALD FLOWSION DROPPING HALSEY DOWN ONTO HER HEAD-
Jake Mercer: BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO SLIP OFF OF HER SHOULDERS! Halsey stumbles back to recover, BUT QUICKLY SLIPS UNDER AND CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF ASTRAEA’S KNEE! Astraea is stunned and momentarily down on one knee while Halsey goes around to the front, runs to the ropes and back… ASTRAEA GETS BACK UP AND HALSEY THINKS ON THE SPOT GOING FOR A DISCUS LARIAT TO THE HEAD- BUT ASTRAEA BOOTS THE ARM FORCING HER AWAY! That was the arm that was locked in the Cross Armbreaker so that definitely halted Halsey for the moment, WHILE ASTRAEA RUNS FORWARD AND CUTS HALSEY IN HALF WITH A SPEAR THIS TIME! THE SPEAR CONNECTS TAKING HALSEY NEEL DOWN TO THE CANVAS! ASTRAEA ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT THIS TIME IT’S HALSEY THAT KICKS OUT! Both of these women refuse to give in tonight but remember only one of them can come out on top in this one. Astraea is back on her feet, circling around the ring while looking down at Halsey who is just now beginning to show some signs of life right now. It’s clear that the two of them have been through a lot and now they’re just going to have to find the energy left in them to continue going. Halsey is beginning to get back up, and what she doesn’t notice is the fact that she’s once again falling right into Astraea and finding herself right where she wants her. Astraea waits for Halsey to turn around to face her…BEFORE GRABBING HER AND LIFTING HER UP INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A VERTICAL SUPLEX TO DROP HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: But Halsey makes sure it doesn’t happen as she slips off of her and manages to stumble backward and fall against the turnbuckle padding. She didn’t do much to counter there but at the same time, it was enough to get herself out of what could’ve been a rough situation for her. Astraea steps back now, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO ATTEMPT A RUNNING SHOULDER THRUST TOWARDS HALSEY’S ABDOMEN! BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO BRING HER KNEE UP! That’s the only thing that Astraea connects with as she finds herself stunned and stumbling back towards the center of the ring. Astraea continues to persist through making her way toward Halsey, but before she can do anything Halsey manages to get herself out of the corner and trade places with Astraea! Now beginning to hammer away with shots towards the abdomen which take the air out of Astraea’s lungs!
Jake Mercer: Halsey continues going, but Astraea sends a forearm which creates distance between the two of them! Halsey stumbles back before making her way back over to her, but Astraea just in time manages to use the ropes to boot Halsey in the face! Astraea from there turns around and begins to make her way up to the top rope, positioning herself and ready to fly off while Halsey turns around… ASTRAEA LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES HALSEY DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HURRICANRANA! Both of these women have been throwing everything they’ve got at one another, and Astraea looks to keep it up running to the ropes… BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THEM AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO CRUSH HALSEY BENEATH HER-
Stew-O: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT IT’S HALSEY THAT MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP! Astraea shoots up in pain clutching her gut, landing on Halsey but clearly not expecting that at the same time as she falls against the ropes. HALSEY GETS RIGHT BACK UP THOUGH AND RUNS FORWARD CONNECTING WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE OF ASTRAEA WHICH SENDS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! Astraea lands on the apron struggling to recover, while Halsey now begins to rain down punches on her head trying to force her to stay put! BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT ASTRAEA GOES THROUGH THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN OF HALSEY! Astraea now positions herself, BEFORE GOING OVER THE TOP AND EXECUTING A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT! BEAUTIFUL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DESPITE THAT HALSEY MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE! Halsey saw it coming and rolled backward to get herself back up, ONLY FOR ASTRAEA TO POP BACK UP AND CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! It connects and forces Halsey backward as she manages to keep herself up, ONLY FOR ASTRAEA TO STEP FORWARD AND GRAB HER BY THE HAIR SLAMMING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Astraea now, LOOKS TO GO FOR ANOTHER STANDING SHOOTING STAR- But she sees Halsey roll out of the way and stops in her tracks before stepping forward and stomping down on her- But before that can even happen Halsey manages to clutch onto the leg and trip her down to the mat! Astraea tries to get back up to her feet which is the same as Halsey, BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO KEEP A HOLD OF THE LEG DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A QUICK DRAGON SCREW!
Jake Mercer: Astraea is kept down to the mat, WHILE HALSEY LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE DROP TO HER LEG THIS TIME MAKING SURE ASTRAEA IS STILL DOWN ON THE MAT! Astraea is clutching at that leg of hers and we already know the issues she has with that, and that’s something that Halsey is going to take advantage of to keep her grounded. Halsey mounts on top of Astraea, before beginning to rain down brutal forearm strikes towards the face in hopes she stays down! Astraea tries to block as many as possible but the strikes coming from Halsey Neel are sharp and impactful! Halsey now grabs Astraea by the arm and brings her up, PULLING HER IN AND CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE! Halsey keeps a hold of the arm before pulling her in again, GRABBING HER AND LOOKING TO DROP HER DOWN WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX-
Stew-O: But Astraea begins to send elbows towards the side of the head trying to make sure that Halsey doesn’t connect with the move! Halsey tries for a burst of energy but ultimately is forced to let go, before Astraea then steps forward and connects with a boot towards the abdomen! Astraea then pulls her in and lifts her up onto her shoulders, GOING FOR A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB- But before that can connect it’s Halsey that begins to rain down fists towards her head in hopes of making sure that she doesn’t find herself in any sort of trouble right here! BUT INSTEAD OF DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS ASTRAEA RUNS FORWARD AND THROWS HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLE INSTEAD WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! Halsey crumbles down to the mat while Astraea turns around and looks towards the corner. Astraea now goes onto the apron before scaling upward onto the top rope. Astraea is up on the top turnbuckle now, what could she be going for here-
Flannery McCoy: NOTHING! BECAUSE HALSEY RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE SENDING ASTRAEA BACK DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Astraea is stunned for the moment and that is more than enough time for Halsey to take advantage. She makes her way up to the top rope before beginning to land some punches on an already dazed Astraea, trying to make sure that there is no way that she manages to fight back and get herself out of the situation that she’s in! Astraea tries to throw some punches back but it’s clear that she’s definitely out of it right now, while Halsey steps up another turnbuckle pad and grabs her by the head, I think we know what she might be going for here… HALSEY LOOKS TO DRILL ASTRAEA DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SUPERPLEX ATTEMPT!
Jake Mercer: BUT IT DOESN’T HAPPEN! Astraea manages to keep herself on the top rope just a little while longer and uses that opportunity to send repeated shots towards the side of her body! Halsey tries her best to keep her grip in hopes of fully executing the move, but Astraea simply refuses to give in right now continuing to fight through all the pain that she went through in this matchup! Halsey lets go and attempts to throw a punch- BUT ASTRAEA BRINGS HER BOOT UP AND PRESSES IT AGAINST HER CHEST PUSHING HER OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND SENDING HER CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT! Halsey gives a cry of pain and it’s clear that she’s going to be grounded for a moment, but that is more than enough time for Astraea to position herself while she’s down…
Stew-O: BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘AIR JORDAN’! 450 SPLASH CRUSHES HALSEY WHILE ASTRAEA LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF OF THE TOP! ASTRAEA THEN HOOKS THE LEG FROM THERE AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS FINALLY SPELL THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘’Party Goin’ Dumb’ once again begins to play up while the crowd roars into thunderous cheers. Astraea Jordan pushes herself off of the body of Halsey Neel before dragging herself towards one of the corners. She’s exhausted and out of breath, taking a moment to compose herself and fix her hair before beginning to get back up to her feet using the turnbuckle padding. The referee makes their way over and begins to check on her, Astraea simply replying with a nod before making her way towards the center of the ring, getting her hand raised by the referee. She takes a look over at Sheridan Müller who doesn’t look all that happy due to the result, before shaking her off and climbing up to the top rope. Astraea begins her celebration while the crowd begins to chant her name in support as she does so.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… ASTRAEA JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: What a match that we’ve just gotten the opportunity to witness here tonight! These two women laid it all on the line to make sure that they were the ones on top for separate reasons. Astraea of course was looking to send a statement to Sheridan at ringside, while Halsey was looking to make herself a force to be reckoned with in the 24/7 Battle Royale. In the end, only one of them came out on top and that was Astraea. Of course, that’s something that you have to take into account-
Jake Mercer: THAT’S SURELY SOMETHING SHERIDAN DID! FROM BEHIND! SHERIDAN PULLS ASTRAEA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND NAILS HER WITH A FOREARM SENDING HER BACK INTO THE CORNER! FROM THERE SHE BEGINS TO ABSOLUTELY UNLOAD ON HER WITH BRUTAL STOMPS TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN AREA! SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF ALL OF THIS AND WHILE SHE CERTAINLY DIDN’T INTERFERE IN THE MATCH TONIGHT, SHE’S GOING TO MAKE A STATEMENT!
Stew-O: ASTRAEA TRIES TO FEND OFF THE ATTACK BUT THE WOUNDS FROM THIS MATCH ARE GETTING THE BETTER OF HER WHILE SHERIDAN PULLS HER OUT OF THE CORNER, AND SENDS A KNEE TOWARDS HER ABDOMEN WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! NOW SHERIDAN IS CONTINUING TO STOMP DOWN ON HER WITH THE OFFICIAL YELLING AT HER TO STOP THIS! BUT SHE ISN’T AS SHE BRINGS ASTRAEA UP ONE MORE TIME…
Flannery McCoy: BEFORE TURNING HER INSIDE OUT WITH ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’! RIPCORD LARIAT TO THE HEAD SENDS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND FOR ANOTHER WEEK IN A ROW SHERIDAN MÜLLER STANDS TALL OVER ASTRAEA!
(Sheridan scoffs while placing her boot on the chest of Astraea, bringing her head down to look at her with a look of disdain on her face.)
Sheridan Müller: (Off-Mic) I’m tired of the games, and I’m tired of you. You want to test your luck and my patience? So be it. Pain For Pride, see you there.
(The phrase “Pain For Pride” is heard echoing throughout the arena while the crowd begins to cheer in approval. But right away continue to boo Sheridan while she looks up and stares at the hard camera. She then steps away from Astraea and rolls out of the ring, shaking her head while beginning to make her way up the ramp. ‘Amerika’ is playing in the background while Sheridan disappears through the backstage area, the last shot seen being the referee checking on Astraea while she’s down on the mat before Friday Night Dynasty transitions to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Philadelpha Zoo starring Jake Smith as he gets dragged away by an orangutan.)
(As Friday Night Dynasty continues on, the scene returns to the ring where inside of it stands Albert Hitchman with a folder in his hand and a microphone in the other. Surprisingly, he had arrived without King of Elite and Interwire Champion Andre Walker, who he’s known for being at the side of.)
Jake Mercer: Alber Hitchman joined us out here at the ring during the break and, to the surprise of many, there’s no Andre Walker with him! With what we’ve seen from them before, it really makes you wonder what they could possibly be up to; I’m sure they’re up to some kind of scheme! Something funny’s going on here!
Flannery McCoy: Who says they’re scheming anything, Jake? I’m sure there’s a good enough for him to be out here-
Jake Mercer: If that’s what you want be naive enough to believe :mjpls:
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
Stew-O: Nonetheless, it looks like Albert is about to tell everyone what he’s got going on for this to be happening right now.
Albert Hitchman: For a number of weeks now, we’ve all come to know that The Visual Prophet Leadership Academy is… well, for a lack of a better term, an absolute shitshow. We’ve witnessed students from The Visual Prophet’s so-called “school” attack Cage ahead of Grand Rampage, we’ve seen the inside of those facilities thanks to Cage and just how rundown, how messy, how much of a disaster it actually is – and that doesn’t even begin to touch on any issues that could be going on with the food that those students are being given for them to be acting the way that they were. When it comes to all of that, all anyone can seem to wonder is how could any of that be allowed, how could those kinds of accommodations be somewhere anyone would actually send their children, WHY would anyone want to send their children there considering the zombified state we’ve seen them in when Dr. Angelo D’Angelo paraded them out in front of the world for everyone to see.
Albert Hitchman: Fortunately for everyone still wondering about it, I’m the man who’s got the answers for you all. With enough digging and with enough connections, I got to the source of things. And it’s all right here in black and white!
(Albert raises the folder over his head for a moment with the crowd on the edge of their seats, intrigue growing as he brings it down and opens it up. On the tron, snapshots of the documents that are inside the folder are also on display for everyone else watching to see for themselves.)
Albert Hitchman: For starters, the Visual Prophet Leadership Academy is nothing but a front for The Visual Prophet to get religious exemption via the school, essentially tax fraud as he rakes in money from the unsuspecting parents. Not only that, but further documents prove that Dr. Angelo D’Angelo himself is in on it as well and, contrary to the way that The Visual Prophet initially reacted to Cage exposing what was just the bare minimum when it comes to that awful place, The Visual Prophet was and very much is aware of the ongoings taking place! Quite frankly, he knew all along and did nothing about it, much more concerned with himself and what it was going to do for him while he benefited from the neglect, from the image that he created while this was all happening right under his own leadership or the lack thereof!
(As Albert had continued to flip through more pages and read off of them just now, the images on the tron followed along. Albert looks up from the documents that he had brought in the folder and to the crowd, looking absolutely sickened with the information that he’s gotten his hands on.)
Albert Hitchman: If this doesn’t make all of you just as disgusted, just as revolted, just as repulsed as I was when I found all of this out, then I don’t know what will. But I’m sure we can ALL be in agreement that someone such as The Visual Prophet, someone who’s been allowed to get as far and as high as he has, shouldn’t be standing on top of the mountain as the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, let alone in charge of a rapidly decaying school system that he’s seeking to establish elsewhere in the world. And if nothing else, this goes to show just as much just who The Visual Prophet is as a wrestler in this business: he’s someone who can’t be trusted, he’s someone who’s only in this for himself and absolutely no one else seeing as how he’s only taken advantage of children from his own hometown! He’s someone who should not be a Champion, someone who should not be representing this brand, and he’s someone who should not be-
(But just then “Back To Life” by Soul II Soul begins to play and the crowd immediately responds with thunderous boos, to which The Visual Prophet pays no real attention to. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, however, threatens a few crowd members to shut up as they come down the ramp together, both of them with microphones.)
Flannery McCoy: I can’t wait to hear how they try to justify this 🙄
Jake Mercer: There’s always a reasonable explanation for everything! The Visual Prophet is a busy man, after all; he can’t watch over everything that goes on! He’s traveling around the world, he’s doing it big – the man had the Bomas of Kenya wanting his attention for God’s sake!
Stew-O: I think we’d all just rather hear it from these two themselves if you don’t mind. :mjpls:
Jake Mercer: And you’re going to find out that I’m right! Just wait and see!
(The Visual Prophet and Angelo D’Angelo enter the ring by coming up the stairs, and Albert stands in the ring across from them looking unfazed by the two of them coming out to meet him.)
The Visual Prophet: Those are quite the scandalous accusations you’re making here, Albert.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Scandalous!
The Visual Prophet: I mean, for all we know or what anyone else watching knows, you went and had those documents forged to make me look bad and ruin my reputation!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Forged documents!
The Visual Prophet: I mean, don’t you think it’s suspect to come out here and not even reveal the source on how you obtained all this or who even helped you to get this so-called information?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Suspect indeed!
The Visual Prophet: Furthermore, I’ll have you know that the students that attend VPLA are very well taken care of, and I’ve seen so myself. It’s really not my fault at all that they know they’re so well taken care of, so well taught, and so devoted to wanting to make the most of the opportunities they’ve found themselves with to excel that they want to show their thanks by denouncing anyone who wants to lie on my name like they did when it came to Cage!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: He was lying on his name!
Albert Hitchman: I wouldn’t need to go as far as to lie with the evidence that I’ve got here, trust me. But they didn’t just “denounce” Cage – they physically went after him and you two were more than happy to watch it all go down, and now we know why. You’ve taken advantage of them, of the systems intended to help them-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Just because the children of your people are commonly known for being entitled brats and routine tantrum throwers, doesn’t mean that you have to try to take away from what these kids at VPLA are being offered! I mean, you all heard that young, proud black girl when she said she saw the puddles and leaks- I mean DIDN’T see any leaks in the school, right?!
(Angelo turns to look at the crowd who asked, only to be met with boos and he looks absolutely offended by the response that he’s given.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: So you’re all gonna go and believe some FAKE lies that Cage first reported on and now this fat, balding walrus of a man that stands here before us with these OBVIOUSLY fake documents?!
Albert Hitchman: :comeagain:
(Nonetheless, the crowd cheers and Angelo looks seconds away from going off on the mic as he takes a few short steps back and forth beside Viz, working himself up into a fit. The Visual Prophet puts his hand on Angelo’s shoulder to try to put him at ease.)
The Visual Prophet: It’s okay, it’s okay! We don’t have to worry about what these people think! We’re in Cali, after all, so it’s not like the air pollution here is doing their heads any good – but now if they were VPLA students, then I can guarantee that they’d know better!
(The crowd boos as The Visual Prophet nods his head assuringly, a grin on his face as he looks around the audience.)
Albert Hitchman: I think we’ve all heard enough out of the both of you, actually! We all know that this crap, this ridiculous front for your own gains is just The Visual Prophet once again only looking out for himself and what he wants, how he’s going to benefit from whatever the hell he’s doing. While you two come out here acting like fools, trying to convince everyone that what we’ve seen from Cage and what I’ve shown everyone now somehow isn’t the truth – everyone else is absolutely done and over with your guys’ garbage.
The Visual Prophet: Well, I’ll have you know, Albert…. that you’re right! About all of it! I absolutely am looking out for myself, I absolutely am looking for every way that I can continue to benefit myself because if there’s one thing Big Viz is gonna do, it’s get his!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: :wow:!!!!
The Visual Prophet: If there’s anything that I know for a fact, it’s that for me to have everything that I set my sights on, everything that I say that I want and know that I’ve got the means to get it, the person that I’ve got to look out for above anyone and everyone at numero uno is me! What, did you all think that was ever REALLY gonna change?! :mjlol:!!!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Definitely worth a :mjlol:, absolutely! Because who the HELL would The Visual Prophet be if he wasn’t in something for himself?! All we did was reap the benefits while everyone else was too worried about what it’d look like if they really questioned it, StarrStan sure as hell didn’t want to shake the table – no one wanted the trouble and I can promise you that they still wouldn’t even now!
The Visual Prophet: But what do you think this gonna happen now, Albert, since you went and did all of this? What’s your big plan to put an exclamation point on this shit now that it’s out in the open? Because the way I see it, this doesn’t change shit at all for me and it definitely doesn’t change shit for Andre Walker at Pain for Pride. He’s still gonna lose.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Still gonna lose!
The Visual Prophet: He’s still gonna give me that Interwire Championship so I can leave out of Vegas as a double Champion.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Gonna be the Champ Champ!
The Visual Prophet: And you know where that’s gonna leave you, Albert, when Andre realizes that it was a real mistake to so much as even looked in my direction with his title opportunity? …I think we should give him a preview, Angelo!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: The firsthand experience!
Albert Hitchman: What the hell are you talking about-
Stew-O: THE VISUAL PROPHET JUST SHOVED ALBERT HITCHMAN TO THE MAT?!
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW ANGELO D’ANGELO IS STOMPING AND KICKING ON HIM, AND NOW THE VISUAL PROPHET IS JOINING IN ON IT?! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
Jake Mercer: ALBERT IS DOWN ON THE MAT TRYING TO COVER UP BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER, VIZ AND ANGELO ARE ALL OVER HIM AS THEY BEAT DOWN ON HIM! ANGELO ISN’T HESITATING AT ALL TO INVOLVE HIMSELF, BUT WE’VE SEEN HIM THROW HIMSELF IN THE MIX BEFORE!
Flannery McCoy: This is absolutely insane! The Visual Prophet just kicked Albert underneath the bottom rope and out of the ring, where Albert hits the ground! Albert isn’t a wrestler, he isn’t out here routinely taking these kinds of falls or hits – this is someone who isn’t in any condition to try to take on someone like The Visual Prophet, let alone two people coming at him like this!
(They continue to stomp on Albert even after he’s hit the floor, the crowd drowning them in boos while they’re clearly enjoying themselves! Angelo takes the time to trash talk Albert as Viz grabs Hitchman under his arms and pulls him up to his knees, Angelo in Albert’s face before SLAPPING him before Viz carelessly lets him fall back to the ground. Viz then stands with his foot on the chest of a squirming Albert, who’s trying to get out from under the World Heavyweight Champion, while instructing Angelo to get something.)
Flannery McCoy: What’s happening now?! Wasn’t what they just did to him more than enough?!
Jake Mercer: Talk shit get hit!
Stew-O: This is looking like it’s going to get out of hand… ANGELO PULLS A TABLE OUT FROM UNDER THE RING?!
(Angelo quickly pulls the table legs secured to stand it up while it’s on the ground before flipping it over, managing to eventually get it up and into position while Viz yanks Albert up, bringing him into position to lift him up… but just then the crowd goes wild with cheers!)
Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER! FINALLY, THANK GOD! ANDRE’S HURRYING OUT FROM THE BACK AND HE’S COMING DOWN THE RAMP JUST AS THE VISUAL PROPHET LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO GET ALBERT HITCHMAN INTO POSITION TO PUT HIM THROUGH THE TABLE!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: STOP RIGHT THERE, ANDRE! DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!
(Having snatched up the microphone he’d dropped near the apron once the beatdown on Albert had commenced, Angelo brings Andre to a stop just as he and Viz have spotted the Interwire Champion getting down to ringside thanks to the cheers from the audience acting as an unintentional warning for them.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: You make another move and he’s going through this table!
The Visual Prophet: (off-mic) Is that what you want? Because I don’t think you do!
(Andre stays on his side of the ring at the end of the ramp, while The Visual Prophet and Angelo have Albert on the side of the ring just in front of the commentary table. Andre paces back and forth, hands running through and grasping at his hair as he finds himself trying to figure out what to do knowing that Albert isn’t in any kind of spot to fight for himself.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Alright. That’s what we thought. Now, all you have to do is…. put him through the table anyway, Viz!!
Stew-O: :krabs:!!!!
Flannery McCoy: ALBERT HITCHMAN GETS PUT THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A SNAP POWERBOMB!!! RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!
Jake Mercer: :lupe:!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER ROLLS INTO THE RING UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND DARTS ACROSS THE RING TO COME OUT THE RING ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THE VISUAL PROPHET AND DR. ANGELO D’ANGELO ARE ALREADY OUT OF REACH!!! THEY’VE HIGHTAILED IT OUT OF HERE BUT THE DAMAGE TO ALBERT HAS BEEN DONE!!!!
(The World Heavyweight Champion and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo make their way around ringside and eventually up the ramp, laughing and looking more than happy about what just happened! Andre is crouched down beside Albert and demanding that ringside assistance come over to help Hitchman, as he hasn’t moved since ending up on the ground in the wreckage of the table that he was put through.)
Stew-O: This is just… That was completely uncalled for!
Flannery McCoy: They may be at odds with Albert because of Andre, but Albert definitely didn’t deserve that! I can’t believe that just happened!
Jake Mercer: This has definitely gotten a whole lot more personal now, reaching a point that I don’t think anyone saw coming! The heights that this Pain for Pride match is coming to are reaching new proportions and I don’t think there’s anyone who can say that they aren’t looking to see what more could go down, with just another week left before Pain for Pride while we’re at it!
Stew-O: What we just witnessed isn’t anything I’m going to condone, but even in light of it, I’ve got to agree with you on that! This couldn’t possibly be something that Andre lets happen without some kind of firing back, but if this is something that we didn’t see coming, what else could possibly happen next?!
(With that question left to be considered, Andre rises to his feet while Albert is being tended to and being put on a stretcher, his focus shifting from Albert to Angelo and The Visual Prophet who are taunting him from the stage. While Andre glares intensely in their direction, The Visual Prophet raises the World Heavyweight Championship into the air, the crowd roaring with boos as the scene fades out.)
(A commercial is shown recapping #EAW15 before teasing a SKA return… that will never happen.)
(“Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen plays through the speakers as Dr. Bethany Blue walks out from the back with her standard ring attire and Empress of Elite crown on the top of her head. She gives her typical pose, feeling confident and walking down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH OF THE EVENING AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA…SHE IS THE EMPRESS OF ELITE…DR. BETHANY BLUE…M.D.!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Here is a woman who has had her issues with Caroline since Grand Rampage. It seemed like, over the past couple of weeks, things have gotten worse between the two of them. Both altercations left Bethany standing tall over her former protege, but it seems like there are not a lot of people that are happy with what Bethany did?
Jake Mercer: At the same time, Caroline needs to understand when someone doesn’t want to do something, it’s over. You need to move on. When Bethany wanted to end the so-called partnership or mentorship that it was being referred to, Caroline needed to accept that and move on. Instead, she kept bothering Bethany, even costing her a match against Andre Walker! Yes, the attack was brutal. At the same time, Bethany was reacting in the heat of the moment and her emotions may have played a role in that.
Stew-O: But, did Caroline deserve the beating she got? Did Caroline deserve her eye almost being taken away from her?
Jake Mercer: Honestly, this ain’t ballet, Stew.
(“Voices” by Motionless In White begin to blast through the speakers as Alex Myers walks out with the New Breed Championship on their waist. They are looking at Dr. Bethany Blue, who is stretching her arms out. Alex seems very laser-focused and ready for this match.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND…WEIGHING IN 170 POUNDS…THEY ARE THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION…”THE NEW BREED SAVIOR”…ALEX MYERS!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Here is the individual who ended Jon Kelton’s six-month reign as New Breed Champion back at Battle of Egypt. Alex Myers walks into Pain for Pride where they will be facing Voltage’s Ruler at Pain for Pride for the New Breed Championship. If I can recall, this is Alex’s first Pain for Pride and they’re walking in as champion? That’s crazy to think about.
Flannery McCoy: Alex Myers is a workhorse who was traded from Voltage to Dynasty earlier this season. No one knew what to expect from them, but Dynasty has given them a wonderful opportunity to shine and hone their craft at the same time. I think that this is totally a prospect to invest your time and energy in going into next season for sure!
Jake Mercer: The history between Ruler and Alex intrigues me because I don’t think that we’ve seen it unfold in an EAW ring yet. Just being rehashed and reminded of the little stuff that I’ve seen during their time outside of this company is nostalgic to me and it makes me that much excited to see these fellow rivals implode at Pain for Pride!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The two Elitists lock up as Alex Myers seems to have the upper advantage, pushing back Dr. Bethany Blue into the ropes! But, we see that Bethany is fighting for control as she switches positions with Alex so that they are pressed back against the rope, but Alex fights for control again as they push Bethany back into the position that she was in before. We see that Alex is holding back Bethany as the referee begins with the count.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Flannery McCoy: Slowly, we see Alex Myers raising their hands up with the referee can see them. With a sly execution, they slowly back away from Dr. Bethany Blue as she straightens herself up. She launches herself to another lock-up with Alex, but this time, Bethany grabs the New Breed Champion by their arm, giving it a little twist before standing behind them! Alex tries to Bethany in a headlock without looking at her, but Bethany manages to hook Alex’s other arm. Oh, it seems like she has both of Alex’s arms hooked as –
Jake Mercer: THAT’S AN ARM-TRAPPED GERMAN SUPLEX, FLANNERY! SHE TAKES ALEX MYERS BACK WITH A BEAUTIFUL ARM-TRAPPED GERMAN SUPLEX WITH A BRIDGE! SHE GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER IN THIS MATCH!
OOOONNNNEEEE–
Stew-O: Alex Myers rolls themself to their feet and won’t you look at that? Alex has Dr. Bethany Blue in an inverted DDT position before delivering a swift punch to the chest of the Empress of Elite, causing her to go down! Bethany is clutching her chest as Alex hops over Bethany, rebounding off the vertical set of ropes and landing with a standing front flip leg drop on Bethany! Ouch, that had to hurt there. Alex begins to grab Bethany by her right arm before twisting it and pressing their knee down against it! But, it seems like Alex isn’t done as they get that same arm of Bethany’s before putting bending it back! Alex takes a step back before stomping on the arm, which causes the Doctor to wiggle in pain, clutching that arm!
Flannery McCoy: Now, it seems like Alex Myers is grabbing that same arm of Dr. Bethany Blue and it looks like they’re going to apply the arm bar on her! But, Bethany is able to retrieve her arm back before things would have potentially gotten bad for her! Bethany begins to use her left arm to throw some punches at the face of Alex Myers, BUT ALEX SHOVES THE EMPRESS OF ELITE AWAY FROM HER. ALEX AND BETHANY FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO THEIR FEET AT THE SAME TIME. WE SEE ALEX WITH A FOCUSED LOOK ON THEIR FACE. MEANWHILE, BETHANY IS MORE THAN READY FOR THE CHALLENGE.
Jake Mercer: Alex Myers charges toward Dr. Bethany Blue, who hooks them with her own arm, connecting with a hip toss, but Alex manages to get Bethany by the same arm, counting her hip toss with an arm drag, sending the Empress of Elite to one of the corners! MEANWHILE, WE DON’T SEE ALEX WASTING ANY TIME AS THEY RUN AFTER HER, NAILING HER WITH BODY SPLASH AS THEY LITERALLY JUST THROW THEMSELF AT BETHANY! THIS TAKES BOTH ELITISTS DOWN, BUT IT’S ALEX WHO GETS THEMSELVES BACK TO THEIR FEET! ALEX BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE DOCTOR! THE STOMPS ARE QUITE CHAOTIC, SO THEY MIGHT WANT TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET THEMSELVES DISQUALIFIED!
Referee: (off-mic) COME ON, ALEX! GET HER OUT OF THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Alex Myers stands Dr. Bethany Blue up to her feet before whipping her to the other corner! Bethany goes back hard into that corner as Alex charges to the Doctor and it seems like they are going to throw themself into that corner! Alex runs to Bethany, connecting with a running body splash!
Flannery McCoy: DR. BETHANY BLUE GETS OUT OF THE WAY AS ALEX MYERS CRASHES AND BURNS! OOP, THAT LANDING DID NOT LOOK GOOD AT ALL! BETHANY DOESN’T WASTE THIS OPPORTUNITY, SO SHE GRABS ALEX FROM THE MAT, AND STANDS THEM STRAIGHT FOR A BIT BEFORE THROWING SOME PUNCHES IN. Alex finds themself seated on the second rope as Bethany begins to stomp them to the mat again. Bethany places their foot on the front of Alex’s throat as it seems like the referee may begin to count here.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Jake Mercer: Dr. Bethany Blue takes a step back! With that small time, Alex Myers finds themself in a seated position as Bethany goes to resume the beating of Alex. She grabs Alex by one of the arms and it seems like she’s going to whip them to the other corner! She whips Alex to the corner across from them as Alex runs up the corner and connects with a corkscrew senton on Bethany! They take down Bethany as they roll her for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany is not quitting just yet! It’s too early in the match to consider throwing in the towel and Bethany is one woman who will never quit! Meanwhile, we are seeing some high innovative moves from the New Breed Champion in this match! Perhaps, they realize the level of opponent they’re facing and they need to up their game! Alex wants to prove they are good enough to compete at this level! Alex begins to apply a headlock on the Empress of Elite as Alex finds themself in a standing position. They still maintain hold of the side headlock from Bethany, who is doing their best to push Alex to the horizontal set of ropes!
Flannery McCoy: Alex Myers maintains their grip on the good Doctor who counters by connecting with a leg sweep to the back of Alex’s leg, which causes them to fall into their back. Happily, Dr. Bethany Blue was able to get herself out of the mess as she stalks Alex back to their feet before nailing them with a precise dropkick to the face that takes them back. Bethany grabs Alex by their arms and stretches the arms behind their back and it seems like she is kicking the back of the New Breed Champion’s head! ALEX GOES FORWARD AFTER ONE NASTY KICK TO THE BACK OF THEIR SKULL AS BETHANY STANDS IN FRONT OF THEM BEFORE PICKING THEM UP FROM THEIR CHIN, BUT ALEX CONNECTS WITH A GIANT HEADBUTT TO THE FACE OF THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! :damn: :damn: :damn:
(The camera begins to reveal the nose of Dr. Bethany Blue as a drip of blood begins to pour down one of her nostrils. She dabs her finger on the bottom of her nose before seeing the blood for herself. Then, she realizes, it’s game fucking on…)
Jake Mercer: :lupe: I’m kind of scared right now.
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue returns the favor by headbutting Alex Myers on the forehead! This takes Alex back, who has a grin on their face. Oh boy…
(…and Alex Myers plans to make it as brutal as possible.)
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue strikes them with a chop to the chest, but Alex Myers laughs it off before delivering a chop to the Doctor’s chest in return! Then, Bethany comes at them with a punch to the face! BUT, ALEX RETURNS THE FAVOR BY DELIVERING A PUNCH TO HER FACE, WHICH CAUSES THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION TO STAGGER BACK, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE BETHANY IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT AND WE GOTTA ADMIRE THAT, STEW AND JAKE.
Jake Mercer: Dr. Bethany Blue runs back to Alex Myers, tackling them down with a spear as she begins to unload on a series of punches to the New Breed Champion! DAMN, BETHANY IS UNLOADING ON ALEX WITH THOSE PUNCHES, NOT GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO – ALEX JUST SWITCHED POSITIONS WITH BETHANY AS THEY ARE THE ONES PUNCHING THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! BUT, BETHANY IS ABLE TO SWITCH HERSELF AS SHE BEGINS TO PUNCH THE LIVING HELL – NO! ALEX MANAGES TO SWITCH POSITIONS AS THEY BEGIN TO ELBOW BETHANY’S FOREHEAD! ALEX PINS BETHANY’S SHOULDER’S DOWN!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTT–
Stew-O: THE DOCTOR IS ABLE TO BRIDGE HERSELF OUT OF THE PINFALL ATTEMPT AND LOOK AT THIS! ALEX MYERS IS ON DR. BETHANY BLUE’S CHEST! ALMOST AS IF SHE’S A SKATEBOARD AND ALEX JUMPS AND CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ONTO THE CHEST/STOMACH OF THE ‘GOOD DOCTOR,’ TAKING HER DOWN IN THE PROCESS! THAT WAS AMAZING AND INNOVATIVE, BUT THAT HAD TO BE PAINFUL AS HELL FOR BETHANY! SHE’S LIGHTER THAN ALEX, SO IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW MUCH SHE’LL BE ABLE TO TAKE?
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue kicks out as Alex Myers picks up the Empress of Elite by her sandy blonde locks Bethany looks to kick the right side of the New Breed Champion, but Alex catches her right leg before the kick connects and takes her down with a dragon screw leg whip, but Alex, almost like they are a predator stalking their prey, awaits for Bethany to get to her feet! As soon as they see her getting into a crawling position, get her by her waist and take her down with a deadlift release German suplex –
Jake Mercer: BUT, DR. BETHANY BLUE IS ABLE TO ROLL TO HER KNEES, BUT FINDS HERSELF BACK INTO ONE OF THE CORNERS. WITH THAT, ALEX MYERS RUNS TO HER, CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! ALEX JUST UPPERCUT THE HELL OUT OF THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION! BETHANY STUMBLES FORWARD IN RESPONSE AS ALEX PICKS HER UP, CONNECTING WITH A LIFTING SINGLE UNDERHOOK DDT! THE EMPRESS OF ELITE GETS DROPPED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD AS ALEX GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Stew-O: NO! DR. BETHANY BLUE WITH A KICK OUT AS ALEX MYERS STANDS OVER HER AS THEY PICK HER UP BY PULLING BACK HER NOSE AS THAT ALLOWS BETHANY TO GET BACK TO HER FEET IN THE PROCESS! IT’S ALMOST LIKE ALEX IS PEELING OFF THE MASK FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE. INSTEAD OF A MASK, BLOOD BEGINS TO POUR OUT OF HER NOSE. For those that just tuned in, Alex headbutted Bethany earlier in the match, which caused her nose to bleed. Alex has a good grasp of Bethany’s nose, trying to pull it back, which is causing more blood to come out!
Flannery McCoy: This is truly gruesome as they are almost sitting on her back, almost like if they were to apply a camel clutch on her, but they are clutching her nose instead! I don’t understand why the referee isn’t doing anything about this.
(By Alex Myers pulling back on the nose of Dr. Bethany Blue, it causes more blood to pour out of her nostrils. It’s disturbing, yet not at the same time.)
Jake Mercer: These two are capable of getting down and dirty, Flannery. I say let these two beat the hell out of each other. Let’s pull a Voltage and make it a deathmatch.
Stew-O: This is Dynasty, Jake. We’re supposed to be different from the fuckery on the Voltage brand. The ‘WE WRESTLE’ on the Showdown brand!
Flannery McCoy: What is Dynasty then? What’s our thing? :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: Dynasty for the culture. They are supposed to be a combination of the two, but it’s more focused on the entertainment and creating stars for the future. But, I don’t know. I say this from a Reddit response and went with it. :wow:
Stew-O: Let’s go with that. :notbad:
Flannery McCoy: OKAY, LET’S FOCUS ON THE MATCH! IT SEEMS LIKE ALEX MYERS IS NOW LOOKING TO APPLY AN ARM-TRAPPED CROSS-LEGGED STF THAT THEY CALL ‘DAWN OF TORMENT!’ THEY ARE PULLING BACK ON THE NOSE OF DR. BETHANY BLUE IN THE PROCESS! YOU CAN HEAR BETHANY SCREAMING IN PAIN FROM HERE, BUT SHE’S NOT SUBMITTING. She’s doing what she can to get to those ropes, but she’s trapped by the submission hold! Meanwhile, it seems like Alex is enjoying every second of this! This is one person who LOVES to inflict pain on their opponents and that doesn’t stop as New Breed Champion!
Jake Mercer: You got that right, Flann! It doesn’t stop there, but it seems like Dr. Bethany Blue is looking to put a stoop to this move as she tries to turn to her right side. That seems the be the only side that’s quite open from the submission move! But, Alex is looking to gauge her eye out and this is when the referee steps in –
Stew-O: NOW, the referee decides to do something?
Jake Mercer: Well, it seems like gauging eyes is where this referee decides to cross the line as the crowd doesn’t seem to be too happy about that.
Flannery McCoy: Happily, the referee did step in because it was already getting quite disturbing as Alex Myers wanted to see how far they could take the situation. I mean, just look at the grin on their face and then, look at their fingertips which are smeared with the blood of the Empress of Elite.
Jake Mercer: I guess, you can say that the blood is on Alex Myers’ hands? 🥁
Stew-O: Punny.
Flannery McCoy: Oh, brother. 🙄
Jake Mercer: You know you love us. 😌
Flannery McCoy: 🤐
Jake Mercer: As Alex Myers is being lectured by the referee in this match, Dr. Bethany Blue is trying to find her way back to her feet. You can see the blood smearing from her nose as she’s been having these matches against these ruthless opponents, who have been pushing her to the limit. As for Alex, they are looking amazing at the moment, but the moment that one of these two goes reckless, it’s going to be a treat.
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue is using the ropes to help herself back to her feet. As soon as Alex Myers sees that, they rush towards Bethany before connecting with a flying forearm at the corner! Bethany is trading punches with the New Breed Champion as she almost has a new string of life! She nails a knee to the gut of Alex who clutches their stomach in response! Bethany nails a punch to the back of the champion who begins to go down to a knee as Bethany connects with another punch to Alex’s back! This causes Alex to go down to one knee. Bethany begins to nail knee strikes on the face of Alex! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ALEX GETS TAKEN BACK AS BETHANY STALKS ALEX BACK TO THEIR FEET BEFORE TAKING THEM DOWN WITH AN ELBOW SHOT TO THE FACE! ALEX GETS STAGGERED BACK, BUT THEY RUN BACK TO BETHANY WHO GOES FOR THE ‘TJD’ – BUT ALEX DUCKS THE KICK BEFORE LIFTING THE ‘GOOD DOCTOR’ UP AND TOSSING HER OVER THEM!
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue is able to land on her two feet! Alex Myers turns themself around as Bethany races to Alex, nailing them with a corkscrew elbow as Alex drops down! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE BETHANY IS NOT DONE THERE AS SHE PICKS UP ALEX BY THE BACK OF THEIR HEAD! TOGETHER, THEY RACE TO THE CORNER WHERE BETHANY THROWS THEM SKULL FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! BUT, SHE STILL HOLDS THE BACK OF ALEX’S HEAD AS BETHANY SLAMS ALEX’S FOREHEAD FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ALEX’S HEAD GETS SMASHED AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! YOU CAN SEE THAT A CUT HAS FORMED ON THE TOP OF THEIR FOREHEAD!
Jake Mercer: Alex Myers feels the blood on their forehead with their hands and smears it on the side of their face, almost like it’s nothing to them! They are gesturing for Bethany to give them everything that she has to offer.
Stew-O: And with that, Dr. Bethany Blue charges to the New Breed Champion, nailing them with a forearm strike to the face, BUT ALEX MYERS DUCKS THE FOREARM AT THE LAST SECOND BEFORE TAKING THE ‘GOOD DOCTOR’ BACK WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST! BUT, BETHANY ENDS UP RETURNING THE FAVOR BY DELIVERING A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF ALEX, BUT BEFORE THEY COULD RESPOND TO IT, BETHANY HITS THEM AGAIN IN THE CHEST! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! BETHANY TAKES ALEX TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES BEFORE GRABBING THEM BY THE ARM AND WHIPPING THEM TO THE ROPES, BUT ALEX REBOUNDS FROM THOSE SET OF ROPES, USING THE MOMENTUM FROM THOSE ROPES IN ORDER TO CONNECT WITH THE SLINGSHOT – NO! BETHANY MANAGES TO CATCH ALEX, USING THE MOMENTUM AGAINST THEM, LIFTING THEM UP IN THE ARM AND CONNECTING WITH A BACKBREAKER TO HER KNEE!
Flannery McCoy: Jesus, Alex Myers landed brutally on Dr. Bethany Blue’s knee! Now, it seems like Bethany is grabbing Alex by the nape of their neck and throwing them through the middle rope, but Alex finds themself on the apron. Bethany decides to join the champion on the apron as she stands across from them! She charges at Alex, nailing them with a knee strike! That takes them back as Bethany grabs them back up to their feet, BUT ALEX CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE NOSE OF THE EMPRESS OF ELITE, CAUSING HER NOSE TO BLEED EVEN MORE AND ALEX GETS BETHANY CLOSER BEFORE TWISTING BETHANY BACK FOR A NECKBREAKER, BUT ALEX KEEPS HER THERE BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE APRON, BUT LEAVING BETHANY TO TAKE THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO HER SPINE! DR. BETHANY BLUE GOES DOWN IN A ROUGH WAY AS ALEX MYERS HAS THE UPPER HAND IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Dr. Bethany Blue is trying to pick herself up her feet, but it seems like Alex Myers did a number on her! Alex grabs the legs of the former Specialists Champion and hangs them on the bottom rope! Oh god, what in the hell could be on Alex’s mind? THEY PULL ON BETHANY’S ARMS AND ALEX BEGINS TO KICK BETHANY’S HEAD INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE RING! :damn: BETHANY CAN’T SEEM TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THE MESS, BUT ALEX IS MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THIS OPPORTUNITY! THIS COULD EASILY PLAY A FACTOR IN BETHANY’S DEMISE GOING INTO THE MATCH! IT COULD REALLY CAUSE HER SKULL TO NOT BE IN THE BEST PLACE POSSIBLE! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE!
Stew-O: I think that gravity did itself a favor by making Dr. Bethany Blue just drop to the floor with that as Alex Myers seems to be pumped up quite a bit! THEY PICK UP BETHANY BY HER HAIR AND THEY THROW HER FACE-FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! THIS CAUSES BETHANY TO STAGGER BACK IN RESPONSE, BUT ALEX MANAGES TO CATCH HER, LIFTING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BACKDROP SUPLEX ONTO THE OTHER SET OF STEEL STEPS! MY LORD, BETHANY COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND AS ALEX IS GESTURING FOR BETHANY TO GET BACK UP!
Flannery McCoy: Well, Bethany finds herself in a crawling position as Alex Myers helps her to her feet, but places the ‘Good Doctor’ on our announce table? Um, should we get out of the way? :lupe:
Jake Mercer: I’m trying to collect my things. Let’s go!
(All of the commentators are trying to get their papers –that haven’t been crushed by Dr. Bethany Blue – and get out of the way. They still maintain the position of their headsets as Alex Myers is throwing a series of punches, trying to keep the Empress of Elite down. As soon as they see that there is no sign of Bethany getting up, they continue on with their intentions.)
Stew-O: Alex Myers takes a step back and it seems like they are heading towards the top turnbuckle, the one facing our table, and oh, god! Is are table really going to get destroyed? Can’t we save this mess for Pain for Pride? :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: Alex Myers is situating themself on that top turnbuckle as they face away from Dr. Bethany Blue, who hasn’t moved a muscle! Don’t tell me that he’s going to do it!
Jake Mercer: Alex, buddy, save your energy for Pain for Pride. Don’t do anything reck–jsdkjgsldgsdghshjdgk!
Stew-O: ‘SINNER’S LULLABY’ FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE THAT HAS DR. BETHANY BLUE, WHO DESPERATELY TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE MESS, BUT SHE DIDN’T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET HERSELF COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WAY! ALEX MYERS STILL MANAGED TO LAND ON TOP OF HER AS THAT COMPLETELY TAKES OUR TABLE DOWN! The referee is checking on both Alex and Bethany, seeing if any of them can continue with the match! I don’t understand how any of those two Elitists are moving, but you gotta give credit to the New Breed Champion for pulling all the stops to make sure that they walk away with the victory tonight!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Flannery McCoy: You also gotta show some love to the Empress of Elite who will not go down without a fight! Dr. Bethany Blue wants to prove that she’s good enough to compete in the elite level that this company is all about and make people regret not putting her in the main event of Pain for Pride! This is nothing more than the fighting spirit of a woman who will be the World Champion in the future!
Jake Mercer: It seems like Alex Myers is slowly trying to get themself in a crawling position, but it seems like Dr. Bethany Blue is struggling to get up to her feet! She took the end of that ‘Sinner’s Lullaby,’ but I need to see it again. Can we get a rewind of the move?
(REPLAY: The footage of Alex Myers nailing ‘Sinner’s Lullaby’ on Dr. Bethany Blue who is on top of the announcer’s table is shown in a slow-motion before going into a standard motion when the move lands and the crowd’s reaction is heard afterward.)
(Camera pans back to ringside.)
Stew-O: Alex Myers is up to their feet as you can tell that the ‘Sinner’s Lullaby’ – their variation of the reverse facing diving senton – took a lot of the energy away from them. Now, they are struggling to pick up Dr. Bethany Blue, who took the receiving end of the spot. Bethany drops down and I don’t clearly understand how she is seen standing at this point of the match! Alex gets Bethany by her hair and gets the Empress of Elite back inside the ring! Soon after, they get themself back inside the ring and it seems like Alex is going to go for the cover! I think this may be all she wrote for this match!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: HOW IN THE HELL!??!?!
Jake Mercer: DR. BETHANY BLUE KICKED OUT! ALEX MYERS CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!
Stew-O: I CAN’T EITHER AS ALEX MYERS BELIEVED THAT WAS IT RIGHT THERE! Alex is looking at the referee, almost in shock that Dr. Bethany Blue managed to kick out, but goes for another cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRR–
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue with ANOTHER kick out! Alex Myers realizes that they are going to need to pull a lot more from within if they want to get a victory over the Empress of Elite! Alex rises to their feet again and gets Bethany up with them! IT SEEMS LIKE ALEX WILL BE GOING FOR THE OTHER FINISHER THAT THEY CALL ‘FINAL SYMPHONY’ – WHICH IS A CRUCIFIX DROPPED INTO A LUNGBLOWER! BUT, DR. BETHANY BLUE BEGINS TO ELBOW HERSELF OUT OF THE GRASP OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION! AFTER A COUPLE OF ELBOWS TO THE FACE, SHE IS ABLE TO FIND SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN HER AND THE CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: She rebounds herself off the horizontal set of ropes and connects with a slingshot to Alex Myers who goes down! Bethany Blue is gesturing Alex back to their feet as she lifts Alex to their feet and takes them down with a fallaway slam! Bethany races for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
T–
Stew-O: Alex Myers kicks out as Dr. Bethany Blue begins to unload on a series of punches to the head of the New Breed Champion! SHE RISES TO HER FEET AS SHE GETS ALEX BY THE NAPE OF THEIR NECK, BUT ALEX CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE GUT OF THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! BUT, BETHANY SHOVES THEM BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘TJD’ – HER VARIATION OF THE SUPERKICK AS THAT STAGGERS ALEX BACK! BUT, ALEX RUNS TO THE SO-CALLED ‘GOOD DOCTOR’ DELIVERING A DISCUS LARIAT ON HER, BUT BETHANY MANAGES TO GRAB ALEX’S ARM, TWISTING THEM AROUND AS SHE APPLIES HER VARIATION OF THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR THAT SHE CALLS ‘THE DISLOCATION!’ SHE HAS THE SUBMISSION APPLIED TO ALEX WHO IS TRYING TO LOOK FOR A WAY OUT OF THE HOLD –
Flannery McCoy: But, Dr. Bethany Blue floats over as Alex Myers connects with a crucifix pin on her! Is Alex Myers going to walk away with the victory here?!??!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR–
Jake Mercer: No! Dr. Bethany Blue manages to get herself in position for ‘The Dislocation’ again– NO! SHE COUNTERS THE CRUCIFIX PIN INTO THE DOUBLE ARM CROSSFACE INTO A MANDIBLE CLAW! THIS IS WHAT SHE CALLS ‘SAY AHHHH!’ ALEX MYERS IS TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AS I DON’T THINK THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING THIS MOVE TO OCCUR! THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD BETHANY IN THAT CRUCIFIX PIN! THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE IT TO END THE MATCH THERE! ALEX IS TRYING TO GET A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE BEHIND THEM, BUT BETHANY MANAGES TO SHIFT THEIR BODY AWAY FROM THOSE ROPES!
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue pressed down on the mandibular tooth, which is known to cause her opponents a ton of pain time after time again! The referee is asking to see if Alex Myers wants to submit and call it a night, but Alex refuses to go down without a fight! Alex refuses to submit right here as the crowd in this arena is up on their feet! All night, they were provided with some of the best entertainment and this environment has been such a rollercoaster to watch!
(The crowd is totally divided with the ‘LET’S GO BETHANY’ and ‘LET’S GO ALEX’ chants that have totally taken over the damn arena. These two Elitists have been placing their bodies on the line for the sake of entertainment. They have been putting on a match that people will be talking about for the weekend.)
Flannery McCoy: Alex Myers is clutching both of their fists at the moment! This is one tough situation to be in! They want nothing more than to showcase the reason why they are the New Breed Champion and send a message going into Pain for Pride XV. At the same time, they need to make sure that they are in the best shape possible! Both Alex and Bethany would love nothing more than to go into Pain for Pride with no sort of injuries holding them back!
Jake Mercer: Dr. Bethany Blue is pulling down on Alex Myers’ tooth, which isn’t helping them in this situation at all! They are trying to tilt their upper body out of this move, but it only causes Bethany to lock their arms even harder with her legs! This applies pressure onto the hold and causes the champion to yell in pain! I feel like this could make one of their shoulders pop! :lupe:
Stew-O: If I were Alex Myers, I would think about Pain for Pride! I would think about their well-being! We know how much they can be unpredictable and reckless, but save the energy for Pain for Pride! Do what you can to make sure that you leave Pain for Pride as the New Breed Champion!
Flannery McCoy: ALEX MYERS TAPS OUT! ALEX MYERS COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd erupts in a mixed reception for the Empress of Elite. “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” blasts through the speakers again as Dr. Bethany Blue releases the submission hold. She gets helped to her feet by the referee, who then raises her arm in victory.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THE EMPRESS OF ELITE…DR. BETHANY BLUE…M.D.!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: That main event was amazing! It was an amazing way to end Dynasty as we are just a couple of weeks away from Pain for Pride!
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue gets a victory over a very game New Breed Champion! My god, Alex Myers pulled out the stops to try to score a victory over the Empress of Elite, but the moment that everyone finds their way in that ‘Say Ahhhh!,’ it’s going to be difficult to get out of it! We saw Alex hold on as much as they can, but even some of the best Elitists and former World Champions have fallen to that move! This match proves that Alex Myers is on that level and will find themself in the main event one day!
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue showed some amazing will and determination. I mean, Alex Myers was not nice to her going into this match! They gave her a fight that caused her to change her entire game plan and think about what exactly was she going to do to get Alex Myers down.
(Dr. Bethany Blue looks at Alex Myers recovering at the corner. The two Elitists look at each other. For Alex, it sucks that they fell short tonight, but the crowd is showering them with love and support as they put on an amazing performance tonight. Alex has their head down but raises a fistbump to Bethany, who accepts it. The crowd applauds for that gesture as Alex rolls out of the ring, getting their championship along the way. This leaves Bethany in the ring to celebrate her victory…)
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! FROM BEHIND! CAROLINE JUST CONNECTED WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHICH DROPS THE EMPRESS OF ELITE DOWN TO THE CANVAS! WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE AND WHY IS SHE ATTACKING DR. BETHANY BLUE AFTER HER MATCH NOW!
Flannery McCoy: SHE’S NOT LETTING HER FOOT OFF OF HER NECK AS NOW CAROLINE BEGINS TO STOMP DOWN REPEATEDLY ON BETHANY! WE KNOW THIS SAME THING HAPPENED LAST WEEK AND BETHANY ENDED UP ON TOP BUT AFTER THIS MATCH THAT SHE JUST WENT THROUGH AGAINST ALEX MYERS I DON’T THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME LUCK! SHE GRABS BETHANY AND BRINGS HER UP…
Jake Mercer: ‘SUGAR AND SPICE’! HEADLOCK DRIVER CONNECTS TAKING BETHANY DOWN! CAROLINE STANDS TALL TONIGHT!
(Caroline drops down and rolls out of the ring, taking a microphone from the ringside area before rolling back into the ring and looking down at Bethany.)
Caroline: I really… reallllyyyy did not want it to be like this Bethany. But if you thought I was going to sit around and let you insult and belittle me the way you were these past couple of weeks, then you thought wrong. You’re right, I’m young and I still have a lot of room to grow. With that, I want to face the best of the best… so Bethany, I challenge you to a match at Pain For Pride!
(Caroline looks back and points at the Pain For Pride sign that’s hanging off of the rafters while the crowd erupts into absolutely thunderous cheers. ‘Sweet Caroline’ by Neil Diamond then begins to play up while Caroline rolls out of the ring and begins to make her way to the backstage area. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to come to a close from there.)
