( EAW intro plays. )
( A recap of last week’s exciting episode of Dynasty begins to play! )
(The show kicks off with an Andre Walker promo which is interrupted by Limmy Monaghan, Madison Kaline, Amir Yusuf, and The Visual Prophet. Tyrone Montgomery then places the four Elitists into a match with the winner facing Andre at MSM. Joso celebrates his PFP victory before being interrupted by Ruler who stakes a claim against him. Milli Banks gets a win against Robyn Valentine. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Astraea Jordan have a promo hyping up her partnership with The Beloved Brother and sending a warning out. Ruler beats Wildcard. Ryan Wilson is told by Tyrone Montgomery that he is traded to Showdown before Aurora Monroe barges in and tries to push Tyrone for a Unified Tag Team Championship shot, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo comes in and tries to partner with Aurora as well but Aurora declines with SOSA coming in and emphasizing that as well. Amir Yusuf and Ryan Wilson beat Shane Gates and Nick Hart. Serenity Valdez cuts a promo calling out Diamond Dixon but she doesn’t get a response. Madison Kaline beats Caroline. The Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan are mad about what happened with BULLETSTORM and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, but D’Angelo says to give it a week and await Aurora’s answer. BULLETSTORM get a victory over The Off-Brand Amphetamines. Diamond Dixon attacks Serenity Valdez in the parking lot. In the main event, Andre Walker beats Joso to end the show.)
( The recap fades out and we cut to a live shot of the sold-out crowd in Uruguay! They are loud and on their feet, cheering and waving their signs as a clean version of ‘P.A.T.’ by Denzel Curry blasts through the speakers. An impressive red and white fireworks display goes off which leaves the fans marveling and when the smoke clears, the commentary table comes into focus. Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy are seen sitting down and smiling. )
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Friday Night Dynasty! As always, I’m Stew-O, and of course, I’m joined by my partners in crime, Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer!
Flannery McCoy: Guys, we are two weeks into the new season and we’re already seeing new stars like Milli Banks emerge, as well as new tag teams starting to form. Last week, SOSA Henderson and Aurora Monroe, collectively known as BulletStorm, defeated the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Off-Brand Amphetamines. Surely that puts them in line for a title shot, right?
Jake Mercer: One would think, but something tells me that this season all of us are going to have to start expecting the unexpected.
Stew-O: :wow: But one thing we did expect was for our brand new General Manager to start us off tonight so Stephie… take it away!
( The camera cuts to the ring where Dynasty’s ring announcer, Stephie Love, is standing by. )
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome the General Manager of Friday Night Dynasty… TYRONE MONTGOMERY!!!!
( The crowd gives off a bit of a pop for Tyrone, who had come out before the show started to get the crowd hyped up. )
Tyrone Montgomery: How’s everyone doing tonight??
( The crowd cheers because they are clearly excited to be watching the best wrestlers in the world compete tonight. )
Tyrone Montgomery: :wow: It’s great to be here in Montevideo, Uruguay!
( Now this gets a huge reaction from the crowd, which Tyrone had expected. He had no shame in going for the cheap pop. )
Tyrone Montgomery: I know a lot of diehard EAW fans were left scratching their heads when EAW announced its newfound partnership with the Walt Disney Company. At Walt Disney, we hold ourselves to a certain standard of excellence, while putting forth quality and entertaining programming that is suitable for the entire family. EAW, while not exactly being family-friendly :mjgrin: certainly holds itself to the highest level, hence it morphing into the premiere sports entertainment company in the world. Not to mention, it is one of the most diverse companies in the world. Millions of young men, young women, and children of all ages can tune in to EAW programming, and chances are they are going to see someone they identify with. It was only natural that EAW and Disney come together to make even more magic, and I am proud to be the man placed in charge of Friday Night Dynasty :wow:. Believe that this is a job that I am taking very seriously. We are in the process of entering a new age here in Elite Answers Wrestling and I plan to make sure Dynasty sets the standard for everyone else going forward. This show is going to be greater than it’s ever been before and I hope that everyone in the back is fully engaged and on board with me. It takes a village and I’m not out here just to blow smoke. I have a lot of plans in place that I’m going to see through to completion and it’s going to take everyone believing the product and putting their best foot forward to see the Disney vision come to life.
Tyrone Montgomery: Change is a good thing. If not for change, evolution and growth would not be possible and even though EAW has always produced high-level programming, the general consensus is that it had become stagnant in the last couple of years. Each brand set itself apart, but you can only survive for so long doing the same thing over and over, and in many cases, risking the lives of the brave Elitists who were competing under duress a lot of the time. Eden Sinclair, Heidi Huxley, and I plan to work alongside Captain Charisma and Hurricane Hawk and take all three brands to unprecedented heights. I’m excited about what’s on tap for this season, and there is no better example of that than our wildly diverse main event tonight that will crown a number one contender for Andre Walker’s Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship! Madison Kaline, The Visual Prophet, Limmy Monaghan, and Amir Yusuf will square off later on in a thrilling match that will set Dynasty’s marquee match for Midsummer Massacre! Different genders, races, and cultures colliding :wow:. You love to see it :wow:. That’s not all we have planned for tonight, either! Future stars in the making like Joso, Milli Banks, Jay Jerry Johnson, Ruler, and Robyn Valentine will all be in action, and let’s not forget the absolutely epic clash we’re going to see when Astraea Jordan takes on the reigning, defending Specialists Champion, Serenity Valdez!
( As exciting as that match is, Tyrone’s jovial expression turns into one that seems to be pretty serious. )
Tyrone Montgomery: Now before I go any further, I need to address something regarding Serenity, and this is a message that needs to reach the ears of every single Elitist here in EAW. I do not want to make an example out of anyone or single anyone out, but it needs to be said that any Elitist caught going out of their way to slander Disney in their personal promotional videos will be subject to fines and other disciplinary action. Miss Valdez is one of the Elitists who have done that, and this will be her one and only warning. I don’t like throwing my weight around, but I am not going to have anyone on my roster disrespecting the Disney product and the things I am personally working towards here. Things are different in Elite Answers Wrestling now, and there will be consequences for anyone who breaks the rules. I don’t care if you’re a Hall of Famer, a champion, or someone who’s just starting out. You will be punished accordingly and without any favoritism being shown. Now, with that being said, there’s a match that needs to be made. On August 19th, Dynasty will hold its first supershow of the new season in Athens, Greece! I can’t think of a better match to announce first for that show than a match for the Specialists Championship! In Greece, Serenity will defend her title against Voltage’s Diamond Dixon and I’m absolutely sure that this match will have the potential to steal the whole freaking show!
( As heated as things have been lately between Serenity and Diamond, the fans certainly approve of a one-on-one match between the two of them. Tyrone’s brilliant smile returns to his face as he looks all around at the sold-out crowd. )
Tyrone Montgomery: If you can’t tell, I’m very excited to be here on Dynasty. It’s truly an honor to know that Bob Chapek and the Walt Disney Company trusted me enough to carry this brand into the new era. I wholeheartedly believe in what Disney stands for and more importantly, I believe in my ability to bring quality, wholesome, and diverse entertainment to Friday nights. This brand has so much potential, and the sky is truly the limit. Under my leadership, I fully expect to see the men and women of Dynasty thrive and become the best possible versions of themselves they can be. I am HYPED for Midsummer Massacre and our first supershow, and I look forward to showing you guys, the loyal and devoted EAW Universe, just how great this brand is going to be going forward! Dynasty is going to be at its very best with me steering the ship :wow:! So without further ado, let’s go ahead and get things underway! Enjoy the show tonight, everyone!
(The camera then goes over to a commercial for Midsummer Massacre featuring Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion Andre Walker.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then goes to Stephie Love standing in the middle of the ring ready to announce the first match of the night!)
Stephie Love: The following singles contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘KILLKA’ plays as the debuting Mirai Natsu makes his way on stage! )
Stephie Love: Introducing first, making his official EAW debut! From Nakano, Japan… weighing in tonight at 225 pounds, he is the “Tweener Star”, MIRAAAAAAAAAAI NATSUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
(Mirai Natsu has a smile as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Steve-O: Mirai Natsu is one of the handful of new signings for EAW as we shifted over to the start of season 16. He is passionate and dedicated to the sport of professional wrestling. He’s been wrestling for a couple of years now and is known for his versatile and eccentric style.
Jake Mercer: Yes, Mirai Natsu has an eclectic style about him when he steps inside that ring. He can be aggressive, he can be fast, he can fly and, above all else, he isn’t someone that’s easily timid. He’s the type of competitor that’s going to give it his all inside of a ring, and I’m excited to see what he’s capable of now that he is part of Dynasty.
Flannery McCoy: The new wave of Elitists has been exciting to see thus far. There’s no doubt that Mirai is looking to prove he belongs here, and a victory tonight could put many eyes on him.
(Mirai is in the ring, patiently waiting in his corner as he gets himself warmed up. “Catalina Fight Song” blares out, and the fans are already booing. Nick Hart steps out, yelling and pointing to himself before raising his arms up in the air. He laughs as he jaw-jacks to the fans, making his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Portland Oregon, weighing in at 225 pounds… NIIIIIIIICCK HAAAARRRRT!!!
Steve-O: Love him or hate him, Nick has been steadily improving over the past few weeks. He wasn’t able to win the last week with Shane Gates as his partner, but the two of them gave it the best they had. While Nick may state otherwise, last week was by far his best in-ring performance yet. Of course, he’s looking to translate that improvement to a win here tonight.
Jake Mercer: Nick has shown a lot of potential. Even if he may try to sneak a win here and there, the underlying talent is there when it comes to the Man of 1000 Pins. However, it’s just a matter of finding what it will finally take for him to kick it into another drive.
Flannery McCoy: Nick has all of the tools at his tips. He can be a bit sneaky, but when the pressure has been placed on him, Nick has shown he can manage it.
(Nick is in the ring and gives Mirai a look over. He shakes his head and scowls whereas the Flame Ruby Wrestler maintains that calm demeanor of his. The two men get ready before the bell rings!)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Steve-O: And here we go! Both men are circling around the ring before meeting in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Mirai is the first to make a transition with a twisting wristlock. He gives that limb a tweak, but Nick transitions into a wristlock of his own. Mirai seems to be trying to figure out how to get out of this… and he does by spinning and taking hold of Nick’s wrist before coming right behind him with the hammerlock!
Jake Mercer: Nick is now the one that has to get himself out of this predicament. He reaches behind, takes Mirai’s head, and manages to flip him over with a snapmare. Mirai pops back up and he and Nick are at it again with another tie-up. This time, it’s Nick that gains the upper hand with a headlock. Mirai pushes Nick to the ropes and Hart comes back… but Mirai leapfrogs over him! Nick comes back off the rebound but Mirai avoids him with another leapfrog! Nick halts and tries to deck him, but Mirai blocks the punch attempt and returns with a rolling elbow strike! Nick is stunned, and Mirai wastes no time with a snapmare followed up with a beautiful basement dropkick!
Flannery McCoy: Great sequence by Mirai. He seems proud of himself, but Nick isn’t all that appreciative. Hart has rolled out of the ring and he slams his hands against the apron. He’s getting some time to gather his breath.
Jake Mercer: Yes, and it’s smart on his part. Mirai seems like the kind of guy that has no trouble picking up the pace. Nick’s best bet is to cut off the momentum before it gets too unbearable for him to manage.
Steve-O: Oh, but Nick may need to turn around because Mirai has scaled the turnbuckle! Nick sees him, but it’s a little too late as Mirai takes to the skies and NAILS NICK WITH A DIVING DROPKICK! Wow!
Flannery McCoy: So much for Nick getting a break! Mirai is relentless! He’s here to win and he’s here to show everyone that he isn’t playing around! Mirai is a bit slow to come up, but he’s standing back up! The crowd is giving him his props as he rolls Nick back into the ring and slides underneath the ropes.
Steve-O: A great display of athleticism, but will it be enough? Mirai goes for the cover!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TW–
Steve-O: Kick out from Nick! Mirai moves on to his next course of action as he brings Nick to his feet and sets him up for a suplex. He goes to lift Hart up, but he’s not making it easy! Nick kicks his feet to try and bring his weight back down! Mirai goes for the suplex attempt again, but Nick isn’t budging!
Jake Mercer: At least Nick still has enough consciousness to try and block the suplex attempt. Mirai eventually gives up and in he comes with some strikes! First a chop, then a palm strike, a slap, a leg kick, and a spinning backhand! Mirai rushes to the ropes and comes back looking for something big — BUT NICK CATCHES HIM! Nick has Mirai in his grasp and he tosses him over with a THUNDEROUS exploder suplex! Don’t know where that came from, but Nick manages to subdue Mirai even for a little while!
Flannery McCoy: Great instincts by Nick! He seems to be gathering his bearings again after the strike combination. Nick gets Mirai back to his feet, grabs him by the wrist, and NAILS him with a clothesline! And another one! He floors Mirai, but he isn’t done! Now Nick is the one with the offensive flurry and he drags the Flame Ruby Wrestler back up and holds him around the waist. Up Mirai goes… and he’s sent down to the mat with a German Suplex! A picture-perfect bridge as Nick looks for the pin!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWOOO–!
Flannery McCoy: Kickout by Mirai!
Steve-O: Nick seems to be peeved, but he can’t get frustrated. Hart is up now, bringing down some stomps to the downed Mirai Natsu! He finally stops, and Nick takes the time to gloat a little. The fans aren’t liking that one bit.
Jake Mercer: It’s great that Nick has managed to subdue Mirai, but he can’t waste time with the bragging! He has to stay on top of his opponent and end this as quickly as possible. Another stomp for good measure is sent. And another! Nick drags Mirai up to his feet and sends him into the corner. Nick gets a running start and his arm out for a corner clothesline! He hits Mirai– NO! He only ends up hitting the turnbuckle as Natsu has slipped out of the way. Mirai comes in with the high knee! Nick is stunned! He drops down, seated in the corner! Mirai does a forward roll before racing back in and hitting Nick with the corner basement dropkick!
Flannery McCoy: You were right, Jake! Nick spent just a little too much time gloating and now that’s coming back to bite him! Nick’s rolling out to the center of the ring. Meanwhile, Mirai is perched by the corner, eyeing him down! Nick slowly rises to his feet… and here comes Mirai with the superkick! It connects! Mirai falls on top of Nick for another cover attempt!
Referee: ONEEEE!
Referee: TWOOO–!
Flannery McCoy: Kickout!
Steve-O: You could hear his foot crack the side of Nick’s head! Still, Nick isn’t going to give up. Mirai sighs, but he knows he has to keep the pressure up if he wants to win this. Mirai grabs Nick and… he’s looking for a submission! He’s got a leg of Nick’s trapped and he’s bringing his hands underneath Nick’s chin! The STF is locked in! Vantage! Vantage!
Jake Mercer: Oh boy, and panic is beginning to set into the eyes of Nick Hart! He’s clawing, screaming, trying to find a way out! Mirai isn’t letting up a single inch!
Flannery McCoy: This is either going to make Nick tap out or tire him out! Nick’s got to find a way out of this, and quickly!
Steve-O: Nick seems to be doing that as he’s using what little power he can muster up to drag himself towards the ropes! Nick is trying to reach for them! But Mirai is still incensed about keeping the hold locked! He’s readjusting to make sure Nick doesn’t slip away from him, and– OH! In that moment of readjustment, Nick rakes him in the eye before scuttling on over away from him! The fans are booing!
Jake Mercer: It wasn’t pretty or legal, but it was effective! The referee is admonishing Nick, but he simply waves them off as he uses the ropes to help get himself up. Meanwhile, Mirai is hurting!
Flannery McCoy: He definitely is! Mirai is up too, stumbling about! And here comes Nick as he RUSHES IN AND TAKES MIRAI DOWN WITH A SPEAR! HE COULD’VE CUT HIM IN HALF WITH THAT! MY GOD!
Steve-O: That may be the most brutal spear I’ve seen Nick perform on an opponent yet! Even the fans are shocked! Mirai is out, and that gives Nick to perfect opportunity to get the cover! He pins Mirai with a jackknife!
Referee: ONNEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOO–!
Referee: TH—!
Steve-O: KICKOUT! AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, MIRAI NATSU KICKS OUT! AND NICK IS FURIOUS!
Jake Mercer: Nick has got to get it together! It may be frustrating to think you caught your opponent off guard only for them to kick out, but he cannot waste any second! He has to capitalize now, or like earlier, Mirai will put Nick in an unfavorable spot! And if he does, he may be the one to get the win here!
Flannery McCoy: You’re right, Jake. Nick has to calm down and think this all through. At least he seems to be done now with the kicking and screaming as his eyes are laser-focused on Mirai! He rolls through as he grabs Mirai by the legs, hoists him up… AND SENDS MIRAI FLYING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE SHOULDER FIRST! MIRAI IS IN AGONY! Mirai is slow to get up as he clutches his shoulder, but Nick is rushing towards him! Mirai hobbles from the corner and NICK GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD, HOPS TO THE CORNER, AND FLOATS OVER AS HE SENDS HIM DOWN WITH A TORNADO HOVERBOARD LOCK! IT’S LOCKED IN! IT’S LOCKED IN! NOW MIRAI IS AT RISK OF TAPPING OUT!
Steve-O: The tables certainly have turned! Mirai is flailing as he tries to get to the ropes, but Nick is the lock-in tight! Mirai is groaning! This doesn’t look too good!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, this isn’t the kind of spot you want to be in! I don’t know if Mirai will get to the ropes in time! Nick is screaming for him to tap, but Mirai Natsu shakes his head! Despite the pain he’s in, he isn’t going to tap! He doesn’t want to! Nick tries to sink a little deeper and he keeps the arm locked in tight… and Mirai with a knee! And another! AND ANOTHER! Nick flinches and winces before finally releasing the hold! He’s clutching at the side where Mirai sent those knees at. He’s up, and so is Mirai. Nick snarls, and strikes him a punch! But Mirai answers with a punch of his own! Nick! Mirai! Nick! Mirai! Nick, Nick, and Nick again! Mirai stumbles a bit!
Steve-O: A kick to the gut from Nick doubles Mirai over! Nick grabs him, and he’s looking for the pumphandle driver! He lifts Mirai up, but Mirai is squirming around! Nick can’t get the proper hold on him! Mirai snakes behind Nick and — OH! Nick sends a stiff forearm shot to the side of Mirai’s head! Nick grabs him by the arm and Irish whips him to the ropes– but Mirai holds on! Like a spider, he’s hanging out in between the top and middle ropes! He flashes a smile at Nick, and that gets him hot!
Flannery McCoy: Nick is shocked charging in like a bull, but at the last second, Mirai twists out onto the apron and moves out of the way! Nick was baited! He falls to the outside! Mirai holds onto that hurt shoulder as he nods, and the fans are applauding him. Smart move by Mirai!
Jake Mercer: It was a great way to throw Nick off his game. Hart is hurt on the outside. Mirai steps through those ropes and seems to be hyping himself up. He’s got something big planned!
Steve-O: He does! Mirai takes a deep breath and runs to the ropes! He’s coming back now! He’s running and seems to be going for a dive! This could be massive–
Flannery McCoy: BUT NICK IS BACK UP, AND HE NAILS MIRAI WITH A SUPERKICK AS MIRAI WAS GOING THROUGH THE ROPES FOR THAT SUICIDE DIVE! OH MY GOD!!!!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD!!!!! THAT. WAS. INSANE!!!!!!
Steve-O: A truly remarkable way for Nick to avoid disaster! Mirai seems to be out cold as Nick struggles to get him up. After enough fighting, Nick rolls Mirai underneath the ropes and slides back in. Nick goes for the pumphandle driver in the center of the ring again, and this time he has Mirai where he wants him! And HE HITS IT! THE PUMPHANDLE DRIVER LANDS!
Flannery McCoy: Here’s the pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCK HAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!
Steve-O: Wow, what a win here tonight by Nick Hart! After coming up short a few times, Nick has finally emerged victorious! What an emphatic win, too.
Jake Mercer: It wasn’t easy, but Nick came out on top. He and Mirai really went out, but tonight, Nick was the better competitor.
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely. Still, props are due for Mirai Natsu. He truly is a special kind of athlete and there’s no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him. Even though he lost here tonight, he has nothing to be ashamed of!
(Nick celebrates as the fans rain down boos on him. Still, he has no care in the world for them. Nick rolls out of the ring and looks at the camera. He proclaims himself to be the best as the shot fades from him.)
( The camera opens up to a shot of the backstage area before panning to show Shane Gates training for his upcoming match. As Shane Gates is about to do his push-ups he’s stopped by someone just out of view. )
???: Shane! Shane!
( The camera pans to show Michael Belfort with a microphone in hand walking up to Shane Gates. Before Shane can get a word out he’s cut off by Michael.)
Michael Belfort: Shane, I was wondering if you had time for an interview? I promise It shouldn’t take too long, just a few questions and I’ll be out of your hair!
( Shane stops his workout and gives Michael a side-eye before begrudgingly accepting. )
Shane Gates: Alright fine, get on with it. I don’t have all day.
Michael Belfort: Alright, well first off, thank you for lending me your time here today, Shane. And secondly, I just wanted to know your thoughts regarding last week’s tag team match loss with your partner Nick Hart against the unlikely pairing of Ryan Wilson and Amir Yusuf?
Shane Gates: Do you want me to answer that question honestly, or is there a specific answer you have in mind?
Michael Belfort: Uh… well I suppose If I’m speaking for myself and everyone watching, I’d like to know the truth.
Shane Gates: Good… because the truth is, I don’t care. Not one bit. And if you ask me, I’m actually glad all that tag team crap is over, and now I can finally focus on what really matters…ME!
Shane Gates: You see new seasons are always fresh starts to me. They’re a chance for me to show what I’m made of against some of the greats in EAW. A chance for me to show what I’m made of in a new territory. And fortunately for me…Friday Night Dynasty is just that. I’m not sure what to expect, and not at all certain how things will turn out for me, but what I do know is that Friday Night Dynasty has some of the best elitists in EAW. And despite knowing that I’m open to the challenge— I’m not here to back down or lay down for anyone!
( A smile begins to form on the face of Shane Gates as he pulls the microphone in Michael Belfort’s hand closer to him and continues talking. )
Shane Gates: I’m going to beat down each and every single person in my way and give them a reason to be scared and intimidated. And tonight that starts with Robyn Valentine. That is where my focus lies. I wasn’t able to get the job done last week but I can promise you that tonight will be more favorable for me because there is no chance in hell that I let a snobby brat like her leave with a victory against me! No… tonight after I beat Robyn to within an inch of her life— it’s going to set a precedent for everything that I just spoke about. I’m going to steamroll over Robyn and show the entire world that I am a force to be reckoned with no matter how that has to happen.
( Shane Gates lets go of the microphone before Michael Belfort raises it up to him once more leaving Shane with a displeased look on his face as Michael hesitantly asks another question. )
Michael Belfort: Well that was um…definitely insightful. Before I let you go, Shane, I just had one more question. As you know, Midsummer Massacre is right around the corner, what did you have in mind for that?
Shane Gates: Well I —
( Before Shane can answer he’s cut off by someone just out of view. )
???: I think I might have an Idea…
( Michael Belfort exits as Shane turns around on high alert whilst the camera pans to the side to show none other than Nick Hart leaning against some stacked-up equipment boxes with a sly grin on his face..)
Shane Gates: And what the hell are you doing here?! Don’t you have somewhere better to be? Something better to do? Rather than stand around like a stalker watching me talk.
Nick Hart: Calm down. Calm down. Shane, I’m not here to fight or cause any harm. Remember, I just had a hard-fought match. I’m not in any shape to do anything even if I wanted to. You see the truth is, Shane, I liked what I saw from you last week. True we didn’t win, but I’d be lying if I didn’t sense some potential in this little duo between you and me.
Shane Gates: Oh yeah? And how would you know? Actually, forget it— it doesn’t matter. I have no intention or desire to be paired up with someone like you again. You see unlike you, I actually have bigger things to worry about.
( Nick Hart looks Shane Gates in his eye before finally letting out a laugh that obviously doesn’t sit well with Shane. )
Nick Hart: Be honest with yourself, Shane. You have nothing better to do. But in that regard, the same is true of me. Our luck has long run dry as singles competitors—you and I both know it’s true. That’s why together, I really feel like we can make a difference! I mean look around where’s the harm in trying? You said it yourself you want to be a force to be reckoned with. Look no further than the tag team division— it’s blossoming with opportunity and chance. It’s everything you’ve been asking for and then some. A chance to start anew. A chance to prove yourself. A chance to show your worth!
Shane Gates: And you think the best person to help me accomplish all of that is you?
Nick Hart: Absolutely. I wouldn’t be standing here right now trying to convince you otherwise. I see the potential, Shane. I just need you to see it too. I wouldn’t waste my time on something that I didn’t fully believe in. We have the potential to run the tag team division. Let’s take one more crack at it, and see for ourselves!
( Shane Gates takes a moment to process everything Nick Hart just said before finally continuing to speak. )
Shane Gates: Fine. If it’ll get you to shut the hell up. I’m in. We can give this one more shot and see how it goes. Now leave me alone I have a match to get ready for.
( Nick Hart is obviously pleased as he walks away with a huge grin on his face as Shane Gates takes his leave and heads over to the gorilla position. )
(As Dynasty fades back to the ring, Stephie Love is seen standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Told You So’ by Paramore would blast through the arena, to a huge negative reaction from everyone in attendance, as Robyn Valentine makes her way to the ring with the usual looks of cockiness and overconfidence, embracing all the hate that she was receiving from the fans in attendance as she would enter the ring, backing up into her corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing First… From Santa Monica, California… Weighing in at 142 Pounds… She is ‘The Perfect Child’… ROBYN VALENTINEEEE!!!
Stew-O: And it seems for Robyn tonight, after facing that loss last week, has decided to go it alone with her father not coming out to ringside tonight for this match-up, may be looking to face this threat with a different strategy in terms of how she plans on dealing with Shane Gates?
Jake Mercer: Yes, The #GOAT, The #STALLION, And The #PERFECTCHILD, Robyn Valentine is coming out here by herself but Stew, what I think you need to realize is that an absolute QWEEN like her doesn’t need anyone else with her at Ringside for her to get the job done- I mean as influential of a piece as Mr. Valentine might be, Robyn knows that she doesn’t necessarily need him to get a win to her name, and wants to prove that to everyone else! :russ:
Flannery McCoy: I mean it’s good to see her taking on threats again without the need of her father at ringside, hopefully, it’ll go to show that she is half the Elitist she claims herself to be and prove her point that her cockiness is rooted in her abilities in the ring that we’ve only seen glimpses of thus from her in the ring – Though in this stage of her career after suffering loss after loss? Some might say a win is do or die here tonight, and I wouldn’t waste this chance to shine as much as possible not knowing whether or not Robyn would get another chance again here in EAW.
( ‘Told You So’ would fade out, and lights dim to red as ‘Swallowing The Rabbit Whole ‘ begins, and Shane Gates walks out, and sadistic smiles to the camera as he walks down to the ring, once Shane finally makes it down to the apron he climbs up upon it as all the lights dim to a black but a bright spotlight that is fixated to Shane appears, as Shane enters the ring and gives a menacing look to the camera yet again and towards Robyn Valentine who showed little fear in his attempts to intimidate.)
Stew-O: But for a do or die situation like you said Flannery, Robyn has to be feeling a bit of pressure with her opponent being Shane Gates this week – because whether she admits it or not, Shane is a very skilled competitor inside the ropes and if she continues to discredit that fact? Things can be going south really fast for The Perfect Child, here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: I couldn’t agree with you more Stew, most of this match levies onto how much credit Robyn’s willing to give Shane Gates in the ring, we’ve all seen what he can do but whether or not Robyn took the time to take an insight to who he is as a foe? Is yet to be known.
Jake Mercer: Look, I can understand the questions amidst Robyn, but we also have to reverse this question around- Is Shane Gates taking Robyn Valentine as a threat? Because if he’s coming into this match looking for easy pickings he is going to be VERY surprised at what Robyn Valentine can bring to the table, tonight is simply going to be her night to shock the world and I am getting a front row seat to watch! :mjgrin:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we’re off to the races here in this singles bout as Robyn Valentine looks to get a win back on her record here after suffering a loss to Milli Banks last week here on Dynasty as she runs out the corner to an unprepared Shane Gates, wasting little time in this matchup to make something turn to her favor here as she goes for a Pop-Up knee to Shane Gates to send him back into his corner and it connects beautifully, rocking him straight in the jaw as he’s subdued for the moment; Robyn making her statement clear to Shane and the Locker-Room early that she’s no one to mess with!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah Stew, although Robyn has made it evident that her loss last week hasn’t phased her at all, she’s showing strides of determination in the opening moments of this match-up here, definitely running on a high motor here tonight and that quite possibly could be to make sure she doesn’t suffer another loss again here tonight; And look at Robyn capitalizing on Shane as she reels an arm back to connect with a large KNIFE EDGE CHOP right onto Shane’s chest – And what a chop that was, Shane clearly is shaken up in these early moments!
Jake Mercer: For the record here guys, looking at Robyn out the gates here right now I can’t help but point out her striking abilities out the gate and agility in ways I have only seen before in one other Elitist; I mean the comparison is too clear to doubt anymore and without a shadow of a doubt, Robyn Valentine-
Flannery McCoy: Jake, if you make a remark about Robyn Valentine being related to Andrea Valentine again I SWEAR.
Jake Mercer: Pfft, I would never!
Flannery McCoy: :cmon:
Jake Mercer: :mackie:
Stew-O: Focusing back onto the matchup here Shane is stunned in the corner, Robyn backing up slowly towards the middle of the ring and she looks like the gears in her head are moving as she lines her sights up on Shane before running forward, looking for a Running Dropkick into the corner- BUT SHANE MOVES OUT THE WAY, SENDING ROBYN CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A CRASH LANDING!
Flannery McCoy: And it’s moments like that in a match that will shift the pendulum entirely, with Robyn being down and out and Shane having a moment to recover, it’s a clean turn of the tides here, one I’m sure Robyn didn’t expect as Shane is slowly getting up from the ground; looking over to Robyn who’s holding her head in a seated position leaning on the bottom turn buckle, And with that look on Shane’s eyes it’s clear he has some plans of his own in store for Robyn; as he rushes forward to hit a MASSIVE RUNNING SENTON ONTO THE SEATED ROBYN VALENTINE! CRUSHING HER COMPLETELY AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE!
Jake Mercer: And Shane Gates is wasting little time, just like Robyn Valentine, he knows that if he doesn’t do something quick all the momentum he creates for himself will go to waste as he grabs Robyn by the leg and drags her out the corner, laying her down right in the center of the ring before backing up picking up Robyn by the head as Shane lifted her into a vertical position, before DELIVERING A MASSIVE FACEBUSTER DDT, ABSOLUTELY FLOORING ROBYN- AND THERE’S THE QUICK COVER! IS THIS IT? DID SHANE JUST STEAL THIS MATCH?! :lupe:
OOOONNNNEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO-
Stew-O: BUT A KICK-OUT FROM ROBYN VALENTINE SQUASHES SHANE’S DREAMS OF CLOSING THIS MATCH OUT EARLY! You have to applaud both competitors here in these opening moments, with Shane’s instant instinctive urges in the ring he has completely flipped this match on it’s head, but Robyn’s pure will to stay in this match-up is allowing her to kick out of such combinations of offense at the count of two, truly remarkable stuff here guys!
Jake Mercer: I completely agree with you Stew!!! These Elitists are truly remarkable and both of their own rights, I mean these are two Elitists that can be at the forefront of our company in a month’s time- Heck, a week’s time if EAW gives them the chance, Shane could be challenging Andre Walker in no time flat and Robyn Valentine can reunite with her long lost sisters Andrea Valentine and become the Tag Team Duo that EAW has needed for so long, The Bloodline of Valentine’s REIGN SUPREME!!!
Flannery McCoy: I give up. :snoop:
Jake Mercer: Stop being jealous, Flannery, you’re just sad that I connected the dots before you did and I can reap the benefits of doing so when Robyn and Andrea take over the company together! :troll:
Flannery McCoy: Uhuh…In more important news turning back to the ring here and away from Jake’s imagination, Shane Gates has Robyn propped up, bringing her to a vertical position as he hooks his arms around her waist from behind, gripping on tight as he looks behind him making sure he has enough space before HITTING A MASSIVE SUPLEX- NO! NO, AS SHANE LIFTED ROBYN OFF THE GROUND SHE MUSCLED HERSELF BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, PICKING AT THE GRIP THAT SHANE HAD ON HER BEFORE BREAKING IT OFF; KEEPING HOLD OF ONE OF HIS HANDS BEFORE PERFORMING AND OVER THE SHOULDER ARM DRAG! :wow:
Stew-O: What a maneuver from Robyn who recovered fast from that DDT to perform that Arm Drag that sent Shane sliding across the ring! Remarkable stuff we’re seeing up close here guys, these two Elitist are giving it all they got to pull one over on the other and making sure nothing about this bout is one-sided, all you could ever ask for from two Elitist! But now it’s a race to see who does the next move as Shane is slowly getting up from the arm drag, holding his back which received most of the impact, as Robyn leans on the top rope, holding onto her head after suffering a massive DDT shot which clearly has done more damage than we first anticipated earlier. As Shane and Robyn slowly got to fully vertical positions, Shane turns around to get right back on the offensive-
Jake Mercer: ‘ART OF VALENTINEEEEEEEE!’ THE SIGNATURE SPINNING HEEL KICK LANDING FLUSH ONTO SHANE’S FACE WHO CLEARLY WASN’T EXPECTING IT AS SHANE HITS THE MAT QUICKLY- YASSS QUEEN, THAT’S IT, GAME OVER AS ROBYN QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOONNNNEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE-
Flanner McCoy: AND A KICKOUT BY SHANE AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! And what a resounding last second kick out that was, raising his Shoulder fully off the mat and by the look on Robyn’s face she didn’t expect that as much as we didn’t! Robyn pulling her hair to the back of her head as she looked down angrily at Shane’s body, stomping on the mat emphatically out of spite of his resiliency as she looks beside herself; Clearly not expecting this match to go this far and whether or not that lack of preparation will become her downfall is unknown for now, though it isn’t taking long for Robyn to conjure a plan up as she get’s up beside Shane’s head, reaching down slowly to grab him by his skull as his body drooped down, clearly still feeling the aftermath of that kick by Robyn as she lifted him into a standing vertical position; Shane standing still in a dazed state as Robyn wasted little time laying her offense in on him, producing a striking combo onto Shane with multiple lefts and rights to the body, that are landing perfectly onto his chest and stomach before Robyn quickly backed up, going to finish off her signature slot of punches with her lariat, But clearly all that work she was putting in must not have been enough as Shane ducks the clothesline but he manages to grab onto Robyn’s arm, Robyn completely staggered as she is sent past Shane but is almost instantly pulled back, turning around to meet him as he quickly lowers his body, lifting her up settled onto his shoulders as he backs up into the middle of the ring for- ‘DARKNESS BELOW’, HIS SIGNATURE BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS FLAT ONTO ROBYN’S FACE, AS SHANE FALLS INTO THE COVER!!
OOOONNNNEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: BUT A KICK OUT FROM ROBYN KEEPS THIS MATCH ROLLING ON!!!! Though clearly she’s been weakened a lot by that Burning Hammer as she barely got her shoulder up before the three count as both Elitist laid down on the mat, unmoving as the referee checked on the two separately; truly great work from these two and there’s still more to come as both of these Elitist managed to kick out of the other’s signature moveset, showing exactly just how much this match means to them!
Jake Mercer: I have to agree with Stew here, I mean remarkable stuff from The #QWEEN, Robyn Valentine, and Psychopathic Monster, that Shane Gates is! I mean truly, consider expectations defied here tonight with these two delivering a match that might even hold a candle to the Instant Classic held in the Tokyo Dome only 20 years ago between Bernardrick Marino and Patrick Fly! Remarkable stuff here, truly!
Flannery McCoy: …. Who? :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: You wouldn’t understand. :mjlol2:
Stew-O: Can we stay focused on the match-up here please? Because now both Robyn and Shane are getting right back up to their feet again; Shane leaning onto the middle rope on one side of the ring, and Robyn pulling herself up with the top rope on the other, and I am sensing that the final stages of these matches might be ready to unfold as Shane manages to get up to his feet before Robyn who was still drooping over the top rope, staggering towards her in stride as he looked at the perfect positioning she was in; picking up his speed as he was looking to his Robyn with a massive lariat over the top rope- But Robyn ducks just in the knick of time, leveraging her body weight under Shane’s to hopefully send him to the floor, but luckily for Shane though he manages to stay onto the ring apron, holding onto the top rope to keep his balance, Though now preoccupied trying to make sure he didn’t end up teetering off and onto the floor as Robyn has now been given VALUABLE time to close this match-up for good- And it looks like she’s ready to capitalize on Shane while he’s distracted, running to the ropes opposing him as she used them to ricochet off for extra momentum; Keeping her sights deadset onto Shane as she leaned down, looking for a hip thrust into his stomach to send him off the apron and into the barricade- BUT ANOTHER COUNTER!!! Shane manages to step out of the way just in time, with Robyn’s head now left between the top and middle rope he sends a thrust kick right into her chest, Robyn going back through the ropes into the ring as she clung onto her chest where she was impacted!
Flannery McCoy: The back and forth between these two are endless, but at the end of the day one of these two are going to have to overcome the other and now it’s do or die for Shane Gates here, he MUST take advantage of the current situation Robyn is under and do it FAST!
Jake Mercer: Well I don’t know if he heard you or if he’s simply on the same wavelength as you but he looks primed and ready on the apron, Shane just lurking in wait for Robyn to turn around, SHANE EVADING OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE QUICKLY AS HE RAISED HIS ARM FOR A MASSIVE LARIAT- AND IT CONNECTS!! SHANE DOES NOT WASTEHIS MOMENTUM AS HE QUICKLY GETS UP TO HIS FEET, LIFTING ROBYN’S BODY OFF OF THE GROUND AS HE TURNS HER TO FACE HIM; GRABBING HER SKULL WITH ONE HAND AS HE PLACES THE OTHER ONTO HER LOWER BACK BEFORE LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND– ‘RECKONING!’ THE IRON CLAW CHOKESLAM PLANTING ROBYN, DIRECTLY INTO THE COVER!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
…
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH, SHANEEEE GATEESSSSS!!!
(‘Swallowing The Rabbit Whole’ would begin to blast through the arena to a pretty positive reaction as the fans in attendance were very impressed by the performance of Shane Gates tonight, Shane would slowly roll off Robyn Valentine, getting up to his feet, as his arm was raised by the referee.)
Stew-O: And there we have it, Shane Gates steals one from under a very game Robyn Valentine here tonight in the closing moments of this match after a very back and forth ending; truly showcasing his skill set and his value as an Elitist here in EAW and quite frankly I am very impressed with him thus far into Season 16!
Flannery McCoy: Can’t say I disagree with you there, Shane Gates truly stole the show tonight and I believe he made a statement in doing so for all to see, especially the people who doubted him coming into tonight’s matchup – Like a certain Jake Mercer. :youngsabo:
Jake Mercer: THE ACCUSATIONS! Listen, I never doubted Shane Gates; I simply wanted to make him aware of the challenge he had coming into tonight’s match-up that was, Robyn Valentine! The Draft King’s bet I placed along with choice words I had for him at the start of my match were all motivation to help him get in the right head space in this match in order to overcome such a valiant foe!
Flannery McCoy: :usure:
Jake Mercer: :dave:
( The referee would keep Shane’s arm lifted high in the air as the lights dimmed yet again and a spotlight shined down on him as the final shot before the commercial break was of Shane standing triumphantly over his down opponent Robyn Valentine, who was being checked on by medical in the opposing corner as the screen faded to black.)
(Friday NIght Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show the backstage area of the Antel Arena. The camera focuses on someone sitting on a production crate, and that is revealed to be Caroline who is given a loud pop from the crowd upon her introduction into the scene. She has a nonchalant expression on her face while she sways back and forth. It’s then that she begins to speak a few moments after towards the camera that’s facing her.)
Caroline: Well, another loss in the books. 
I’m a bit sad over that, especially considering what happened at Pain For Pride, but what can I do about it? Madison was a great opponent and it was an absolute blast to get the opportunity to face her in the ring! Sure I wasn’t very lucky this time around, but the next time we face I hope I get the chance to show my improvement since our last encounter! But that’s neither here nor there, and right now I have to focus on the present moment. With that what matters is the fact that no matter how bummed out that last match and the match before it might have made me, it hasn’t stopped me yet! No, I’ve proven that no matter how many times you push me down, I’m just going to get back up and never give up because that’s the way to go! Never say die and you’ll reach your dreams, take it from not just me, but anyone else in this company as well! Sure I’m on a sucky two match losing streak right now, but that doesn’t matter to me because I’m far from done, and right now I have a whole lot of plans in store this Season 16 not just for Dynasty but all of EAW! But mostly Dynasty, King Andre. 
It’s really exciting, and to think after all of this that this is really only just the beginning for me. I’m barely even half a year in, and I have a whole lot more fuel in the gas tank than people can imagine.
Caroline: Speaking of people, there has been a lot of them last Season that has tried to break my spirit, and I know that type of mentality is going to keep itself going heading into this one. But like I said, and just like all the times before, absolutely nothing is going to come out of it in the end. They can try their best, but I hope they understand that their efforts are going to be for nothing knowing that I’m still going to be here as the same Caroline at the end of the day. :wow: I will continue on, and no matter what happens focus on the future without dwelling on the past! 
I don’t really know what’s next for me, I know Midsummer Massacre is just around the corner and I would love to be on the show, but really who knows. What matters is that sooner or later, I’m going to have my opportunity, and believe me, when the time comes for that, I am going to use it to the fullest! I will fight till the end, and whoever I’m up against is just going to have to find a way to combat that! But even then none of that is going to stop my stride! I will stop at nothing to make sure I succeed. Throw those hurdles in my way, I will jump right over them! But until then, I can’t wait to get the opportunity to face some of Dynasty’s best, it’ll be a thrill, and I hope that-
???: Ughhhhh, are you done yet
(The crowd boos upon hearing the voice of Robyn Valentine who is seen standing across from Caroline looking unimpressed at what she’s saying towards the EAW Universe now. She has a disgusted look on her face with her hands crossed while she shakes her head. Caroline looks more confused why Robyn decided to interrupt her out of all people, before slowly speaking.)
Caroline: Uhhhh… no? :lupe:
Robyn Valentine: :yikes: Well it’s a good thing I stopped you while I had the chance didn’t I. This whole speech you have is just so nauseating I mean, Gawd, don’t you get tired of hearing yourself speak every once and a while??? 
I mean, even without all the overly-positive crap that you go on about, your voice literally sounds like nails on a chalkboard and I’m speaking for everyone here when I say that you should politely shut up. 
Caroline: Well I appreciate the criticism… Robyn? Is that your name? Sorry, I’m still trying to get to know all the new faces here so I hope you don’t take it personally! 
But no, I don’t think I will. I don’t know why you have so much of an issue with me just making myself known amongst everyone else here on Dynasty, but oh well, who am I to tell you what to do! Anyway, what are you doing here ma’am?
Robyn Valentine: Because I want you to shut up
Is that so hard to do??? Look, like everyone has said around here, this is a new era for Elite Answers Wrestling! This means that we need to make way for the fresher, much more talented, Elitist by pushing away the old. While you may be making yourself known, there are so many other people that deserve that time, like me! :blessed: So let me do you a favor now in telling you to save your breath. Besides, with me on the Dynasty roster, there is absolutely NO WAY you’re going to make it! So please, once again I think I speak for everyone here in saying that we don’t want to hear this same sob story about getting back up week in and week out when that two match losing streak becomes a three match… four match… five match… you get the gist. Just… just leave.
(Robyn smiles before turning around and beginning to make her leave from the area. Caroline’s reaction doesn’t really change at all after hearing everything that Robyn said. In fact, she’s more confused than ever after that. After a while, Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena while the sounds of ‘People Are Strange’ by The Dead Evil plays up through the PA system. The crowd gives a lukewarm reaction while we’re introduced to Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood, The Off-Brand Amphetamines, who both make their way out to the stage accompanied by Trixie Stane who follows close behind. Both of them have their Unified Tag Team Championships in tow and keep them firmly wrapped around their waist while the two of them focus on the ring. It’s clear they’re not the happiest people right now and they look to express that in the ring tonight as they begin to head down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood… THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well last week we saw the team of Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane return to tag team action for the first time since successfully retaining the Unified Tag Team Championships against The Ice Aces at Pain For Pride 15. Despite that though, it didn’t go so well for them as they ended up falling short against Aurora Monroe and SOSA Henderson, collectively known as BULLETSTORM.
Flannery McCoy: Before that, we saw Aurora backstage saying that if they were to beat the two of them the only thing fitting would be a Unified Tag Team Championship shot towards Tyrone Montgomery. So if anything, it seems like the issues between Dynasty’s top two tag teams are far from over, in fact, they’ve only just begun. But for right now it seems we’re going to hear from the Champs tonight after the loss and what their thoughts are especially looking towards the future, and this is sure to be interesting.
Jake Mercer: BULLETSTORM might be a great tag team already, but if there’s one thing they don’t have it’s the chemistry that The Off-Brand Amphetamines do. John Boss Sapp reported a few weeks back that DNA tests show that Kirk and Solomon might actually be twin brothers! Sure they don’t look alike… and one towers over the other… but look, I can see it alright! It’s possible! If that’s the case they know each other down to a tee and that’s something to look out for if you ask me!
(Kirk rolls into the ring while Solomon steps on the apron, sitting on the middle rope to allow his wife to enter in. From there Trixie makes her way over and takes three microphones, splitting them up equally between the trio. From there, ‘People Are Strange’ then begins to come to a close while Trixie stands between Solomon and Kirk and begins to speak first.)
Trixie Stane: Last week’s events were… disappointing, to say the least. Solomon and Kirk walked into their match against BULLETSTORM with the anticipation of putting them down before their hype could even truly begin. Because while they did beat Jake Smith and Holly Arrow the previous week, there was nothing that could truly amaze anyone. So in truth, this was their ultimate test, and with the Champions taking advantage of the little “preview” they were in they hoped to make a statement… but that didn’t happen. No, instead BULLETSTORM won. I’m not going to make excuses or sugarcoat anything for these two, it happened, what can we do about it? At the end of the day, the only thing OBA can do is make sure that doesn’t happen when the time comes for the two teams to step in the ring again, especially when the stakes are higher. But regardless of that, we look towards the future. It isn’t certain whether or not BULLETSTORM will be the next challengers for the Unified Tag Team Championships, but what is certain is that Kirk and Solomon will have to defend their Championships sooner rather than later. And whoever that may be… they’ll end up walking out empty-handed in the process.
Solomon Stane: I’ll admit I’m getting pretty tired of repeating it, but damn, it’s the truth ain’t it? Every step we go, people are going to hope that our next defense is our last, never wanting to admit to themselves that we really are Champions for a reason. “Battle of Egypt was luck” “Pain For Pride was luck”, and really there’s no escaping that. Because nobody believes that two “bums” like us were ever going to make it to begin with. But here’s the thing, we have, always have, and we will continue to. I’m not going to sit here and say that the loss to BULLETSTORM didn’t sting, because it did. But they’ll be surprised when the pressure is on and a second match against them equals another defense for me and Kirk. It’s not a result they want, but it’s damn sure one they’re gonna get. Regardless though, as my wife said, there’s no telling whether it’s going to be them or someone else. But as much as that uncertainty would be a headache to anyone else, for the two of us? Well, I think we can agree on the fact that we don’t really give a damn.
Kirk Redwood: Either way, we win, and it’s going to be a long time before we’re done “terrorizing” your poor tag team division. The Ice Aces were the beginning of it, whoever the hell wants the next shot can be my guest. We’re not going to search for you, we’re not going to be the ones desperate for some competition because if you truly want these Tag Team Championships then you’re going to be gunning for them the first chance you get. But trust me, it isn’t going to be pretty. OBA is still a force to be reckoned with and one way or another, we will make our presence known. It doesn’t matter who that’s up against, BULLETSTORM, The Ice Aces, The Haircare Kings, God, never cared. What matters is that it’s going to happen, and it’s only a question of when we’re going to get another defense under our belt that’s all.
(Kirk brings his microphone down while Trixie paces around and looks to speak again, but before she can even get the chance to…)
Stew-O: SUPERKICK TO KIRK! WHAT THE HELL?! THAT’S THE ‘TJD’! DR. BETHANY BLUE IS BACK ON DYNASTY AND SHE JUST LAID OUT ONE-HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! SOLOMON TAKES NOTICE AND LUNGES FORWARD LOOKING TO DEFEND HIS PARTNER FROM IMPEDING DOOM!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT A MINUTE! THAT’S SHERIDAN MÜLLER! SHE JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND CLOCKED SOLOMON WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW WHICH SENDS HER DOWN TO A KNEE! SHERIDAN THEN HOLDS SOLOMON WHILE BETHANY TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES… CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD WHICH KNOCKS HIM DOWN ALONGSIDE KIRK!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT TRIXIE TRYING TO DEFEND THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES! SHE THROWS A PUNCH AT THE HEAD OF SHERIDAN! BUT… that doesn’t do much. SHE TRIES AGAIN- ONLY FOR SHERIDAN TO COUNTER INTO A PUMP HANDLE URANAGE THAT TAKES SOLOMON DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN HAVE THEIR SIGHTS SET ON THE CHAMPIONS NOW, WITH SHERIDAN HEADING OFF TO GRAB KIRK WHILE BETHANY IS BRINGING UP KIRK! BEFORE SHERIDAN LIFTS KIRK UP INTO A ‘SHERPLEX’ WHILE BETHANY CONNECTS WITH A ‘CODE BLUE’ HEART PUNCH! THE NEWLY FORMED TAG TEAM OF THE PERSCRIPTION ARE HERE AND THEY HAVE MADE A CLAIM FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS TONIGHT ON DYNASTY!
(Sheridan looks towards Bethany while Bethany looks at her with a smirk on her face. She scoops up the Unified Tag Team Championships and brings them into their possesion, before the two of them raise the Championships high in the air over the body of Kirk and Solomon in the process. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition elsewhere from there.)
(A commercial is shown for baseball bats featuring Abel Atami.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne plays throughout the arena, to a negative reaction that is given when Milli Banks walks through the curtain. She looks very confident, as she begins to walk down the ramp, breathing in all the hate before rolling into the ring, posing. She would then back into her corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first…from Brooklyn, New York…weighing in at 130 pounds…she is The ‘Brooklyn Bankroller’…MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Milli Banks made her debut last week on the first Dynasty of Season 16, and she was able to pick up a very impressive victory over Robyn Valentine!
Flannery McCoy: But this week, she faces a much tougher challenge in that of Ruler! You have seen everything that Ruler has been able to accomplish in quick succession since his debut here in EAW, and I am sure that this match will be a great mix of styles!
(‘Changed It’ would fade out, as it would then be replaced by ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert! In an even more negative reaction than before, slowly out of the smoke appears Ruler walking through the curtain. With an eerie vibe to him, he slowly makes his way down to the ring, eyeing down Milli. He would walk up the steps, before entering the ring and posing, before going into his corner as ‘Prices’ fades out.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent…hailing from The Reserved in Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in at 220 pounds…he is The Monarch of Agony…The Self-Proclaimed Ancient Prodigy, RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: The Measuring Stick!!! :blessed:!!!!
Stew-O: :mjpls: And here’s Ruler! Much like Flannery said, Ruler has made a huge impact since his debut back at the beginning of the year of 2022. He challenged for the New Breed Championship at Pain For Pride XV, and now he has an ongoing rivalry with The New Era Classic winner, Joso!
Flannery McCoy: But tonight, he has to go up against one of Dynasty’s hottest rising stars, Milli Banks.
Stephie Love: And finally, let me welcome at this time…
(Suddenly, ‘Trophies’ by Drake begins to blast throughout the arena, as a huge reaction, much more positive than the previous two, is given when Joso walks through the curtain! He is looking very confident, as Ruler can be seen rolling his eyes. Joso would make his way down to the ringside, before walking around and making it to the side of the announcers table.)
Stephie Love: HE IS THE ‘NEW ERA’…JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is underway! Both Ruler and Milli Banks lock up in the middle of the ring, where Ruler is able to take control as he is able to get Milli into a side headlock, before pushing her up to the ropes. He rebounds Milli off them, and they meet back in the center in the ring where Ruler connects with a shoulder tackle! Ruler now runs the ropes, but Milli is able to grab Ruler by the arm, throwing him with an armdrag, and holding on as she wrenches that arm, before putting her knee right onto it.
Flannery McCoy: And now she is driving her knee straight into Ruler’s shoulder blade! Ruler is in a bad position here, but he is able to get out of it, grabbing Milli by the waist and go around as he is able to get her back up to her feet, and gets up himself as he then runs the ropes, but Milli moves! Ruler stops right in his tracks however and runs the other side of the ropes before connecting with a huge big boot! Milli Banks is stunned, as Ruler runs the ropes and knees Milli right in the face that takes her down!
Jake Mercer: Ruler takes the time to breathe, as Milli Banks is able to get back up on her feet. Ruler runs right at her, but Milli is able to move out of the way, grabbing him from behind as she pushes him against the ropes, and he looks to connect with a snap german, but Ruler lands on his feet! Ruler runs the ropes, but Banks catches him with a stiff uppercut and that forces Ruler down to a knee! Milli now takes a short rebound off the ropes, and she drops her knee right into the side of Ruler!
Stew-O: That causes Ruler to back away as Milli is up to her feet, and now she is taking the time to show off, and I don’t think that Ruler appreciates that! He takes a look over his shoulder to Joso who is watching on near us at ringside, and he is back up to his feet. Milli and Ruler meet once more, and Ruler is able to grab her by the waist and float around…AND HE CONNECTS WITH A SNAPDRAGON! Milli lands right on her head, and now Ruler is going for the early pin to put this match away!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: But Milli Banks is able to get an easy kickout! Ruler is back up to his feet…and he rolls out of the ring and quickly gets up in the face of Joso! Joso is pointing back to the ring, as Ruler turns around…AND MILLI RUNS THE ROPES AND CATCHES RULER WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Ruler took his eye off Milli Banks, and he pays the price for it now as Milli throws him back into the ring. Milli nods at Joso and she enters the ring, before kicking him right in the head!
Flannery McCoy: Ruler is trying to get away, but now Milli Banks is just laying waste to him! Those strikes are connecting hard, and now Milli grabs Ruler by the arm, pulling him up to his feet as she irishwhips him into the corner, and she goes to run at him…but Ruler catches her with a huge boot! Ruler now grabs her, and she goes for another snapdragon, but this time Milli was able to avoid it, and she kicks him right upside the head! Ruler is wobbly, as Milli runs the ropes, but she is caught with a huge clothesline by Ruler that flips her inside out!
Stew-O: SHE’S RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET HOWEVER, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER! KNEE TO THE GUT BY RULER! AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A FRONT KICK TO THE SIDE-…SPINNING BACK HAND RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MILLI! MILLI IS STAGGERING BUT RULER DOESN’T GIVE HER ANY SPACE, AS HE CONNECTS WITH THE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE, BEFORE RUNNING ROPES AND KNEEING HER RIGHT IN THE JAW! MILLI IS OUT AS THE BLACK FURY COMBINATION CONNECTS IN QUICK SUCCESSION! Milli Banks is out of it, and now Ruler just backs right into the corner, and it looks like he is talking to himself!
Jake Mercer: This dude is creepy… It’s almost like his mind is plotting his next move!
(Ruler would continue talking to himself in the corner as the Referee checks on Milli Banks, and that is when he snaps his head right towards Joso.)
Ruler: (Off-Mic) I AM THE NEW ERA. NOT YOU.
Jake Mercer: …Really creepy…
Joso: (Off-Mic) Alright, bud! You think that! :mjlol2:
Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks is slowly getting back up to her feet, and Ruler immediately turns his attention right back towards her! Milli gets up, and Ruler runs right at her, looking for a jumping knee strike, but Milli ducks over it and drops down, pulling him over into a rollup! Ruler has been caught and Milli is looking to take the win here because of it!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But Ruler is able to kickout, as they both get back up to their feet, and Ruler runs the ropes, but Milli ducks him and runs the opposite ropes, as they both meet in the center of the ring, and Milli floats right over Ruler before connecting with the float over DDT!!! Ruler lands hard, and Milli is now going right back into a cover, but she is wasting too much time getting Ruler on his back! Milli is able to push him over and drop down onto him for the cover, and this could be it!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But Ruler stays in it once more! Milli Banks thought she had him there, but it is going to take more to keep him down, but I don’t even think she cares! Now she is taking the time to taunt everyone in attendance, as she breathes in all the hate! She now looks towards Ruler, and I don’t think she is much worried right now, picking him right back up to his feet-…but Ruler catches Milli with a powerful slap across the face that rocks her! Ruler now gets his balance…but it doesn’t matter much as Milli Banks is quickly able to recover, catching him with a calf kick!
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks now looks to pick him up, but look! Ruler was able to connect with a huge headbutt that wobbled Milli! Ruler now runs the ropes, and he connects with the bicycle knee strike this time around! Banks staggers into the ropes, and Ruler rebounds off them, before hitting a cactus clothesline, and it sends them both onto the apron! They both are able to get up, and now they are trading strikes on the apron! Ruler! MillI! Ruler! Milli! Milli! Ruler! MILLI!! Milli is getting the best of this exchange as she wraps her arms around the waist of Ruler-
Stew-O: But Ruler just raked the eyes! Ruler raked the eyes and the referee didn’t see it! Milli backs away as Ruler takes advantage of this and he connects with a knee strike! Milli is dazed, and now it’s Ruler who knees her in the gut, forcing her to bend over as Ruler grabs her by the head, and into a DDT position-…WILL OF NICHOLAS! RULER CONNECTS WITH THE WILL OF NICHOLAS EVENFLOW DDT, AND WORSE, ON THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING IN THE APRON! MILLI BANKS IS OUT OF IT, AND RULER IS ALSO FEELING THE EFFECTS!
Flannery McCoy: Ruler is able to slowly but surely get Milli Banks back into the ring, as he follows in. He then rolls her onto her back, and he goes for the pin! Milli is still out of it, and this could be the way that Ruler wins this match!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: MILLI BANKS IS ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT JUST BEFORE A THREE COUNT! Ruler took too much time trying to get her back into the ring, and it ultimately cost him as Milli had breathing room and was able to kick out in the end. Ruler is clearly frustrated by this, as he argues with the referee, before getting back up to his feet, and he looks pissed off! Milli is barely making movement, but Ruler is able to get back up to his feet, and he kicks her right in the head while she is down, adding insult to injury!
Stew-O: And now it’s Ruler who is going to take a run for the ropes-…WAIT! MILLI BANKS JUST CAUGHT RULER WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!!! MILLI BANKS WAS ABLE TO POP UP AND CATCH RULER WITH A CLOTHESLINE, AND HE FLIPS INSIDE OUT! You can tell that Ruler is dizzy from that, as he staggers up to his feet, and he runs right into Milli, who pushes him towards the ropes, as he rebounds to the middle…AND MILLI RUNS THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS…INTO A BACKFLIP, AND SHE CATCHES RULER WITH AN INVERTED DDT! FORECLOSURE CONNECTS! THAT WAS PERFECTLY EXECUTED, AND NOW MILLI BANKS INTO A COVER!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: RULER KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE! MILLI Banks was sure that she had won this match, but it was proven that Ruler wouldn’t stay down that easily! You can see that Ruler is slowly making movement, as Milli is able to get back up to her feet. With the help of the ropes, he is able to get himself up, leaning against them as Milli runs towards him-…and is met with a big boot! Milli falls to her knees, and Ruler knees her right in the face! Ruler picks her up, AND HE GOES FOR A SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK! ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’!!!!
Jake Mercer: MILLI DUCKS IT!!! AND SHE CATCHES HIM WITH A FOREARM STRIKE!! Ruler staggers, as Milli runs the ropes and another forearm strike! Ruler has nowhere to go, and Milli grabs him by the waist, and she drops him on his head with that German suplex! But she doesn’t let go! She rolls through, and another German suplex! Rolls through again, and another German, this time releasing as Ruler looks out! Milli pulls Ruler over to the ropes, before climbing to the rope…AND SHE DRIVES HER KNEES RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF HUNTER, AND THEN SHE ROLLS BACK, AND SHE GOES FOR IT AGAIN, BUT RULER MOVES!!! THEY GET UP-
Stew-O: BLOODRAYNE MAKER!! BUT NO! MILLI GETS OUT OF IT, BEFORE GRABBING RULER BY THE ARMS, AND PUTS HER FOOT UP TO HIS BACK, AND SHE PUSHES HIM RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Ruler backs up after the impact, and right into a backstabber!! Milli now pulls him to the center of the ring, and she pulls him up to his feet, but Ruler looks for an uppercut! But he misses! Banks ducks it, and she grabs a hold of him!!! Ruler has nowhere else to go, and Milli flips over!! ‘BANKRUPT’ CONNECTS!! IT CONNECTS-
Flannery McCoy: BLACK MIST! THE REFEREE COULDN’T SEE IT, AND RULER SPAT THE BLACK MIST RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF MILLI BANKS WHILE SHE WAS IN THE AIR AND FLIPPED OVER HIM!! MILLI DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HIT HER, AND SHE IS STAGGERING AROUND! SHE’S BLINDED, AND TURNS RIGHT INTO RULER-
Jake Mercer: ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’!!!!! THE SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK! MILLI BANKS WAS BLINDED BY THE BLACK MIST, AND SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH THE REVOLUTIONIZER BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN ATTEMPT ANYTHING! MILLI IS DOWN AND OUT, AND RULER SLITHERS INTO THE PIN, MAKING SURE THAT HE COVERS HER FACE AS THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…RULER!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Prices’ would begin to blast through the arena, a rainfall of boos pouring down on Ruler as he would quickly push Milli out of the ring to avoid anything. He would then quickly roll out, and get right into the face of Joso as they begin to trade words.)
Ruler: (Off-Mic) I am what The New Era needs. Not you. I am what will make it better.
Joso: (Off-Mic) :mjlol2: Right, you think that!
Ruler: (Off-Mic) I don’t think it, I know it.
Joso: (Off-Mic) :francis: Well, alright! :mjlol: Why don’t you watch my match against Jumanji Jobber Johnson a little later, and then you will see how the future truly gets it done!
(Joso would laugh right in the face of Ruler, and would cockily walk away. Not taking it politely, Ruler would then run back into the ring, and would begin to celebrate his win, showing off to Joso as Joso would continue to walk up the ramp, and the camera fades from there.)
(Friday NIght Dynasty returns from commercial break to the backstage area of the Antel Arena. There, Michael Belfort is seen standing by with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand, beginning to speak towards the EAW Universe from there.)
Michael Belfort: What a show we’ve had so far here on Dynasty, and to think we’re barely skimming the surface of what we have in store for you! As you know, in our main event we have a number one contendership match with the winner facing Andre Walker at Midsummer Massacre for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship. In anticipation of that, joining me here tonight is one of the competitors for said match. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming… Amir Yusuf.
(The crowd boos loudly while the camera pans over to show Amir Yusuf making his way into the scene. He tightens up his wrist tape while looking toward Michael with a serious expression on his face. Michael takes a moment before continuing to speak this time towards Amir.)
Michael Belfort: Once again Amir, thank you for joining me tonight. As we mentioned before you’re participating in the main event in what is undoubtedly the biggest opportunity of your career. How are you feeling?
(Amir nods his head slowly before a smirk slowly creeps up.)
Amir Yusuf: Opportunistic, Michael. I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. Finally, a chance to prove that I’m not just some rookie who can be underestimated. Someone who can just be pushed around and stepped over, no, I am Amir Yusuf. For months I haven’t been given the respect I deserve and now here we are, and I think getting a chance to fight for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship is the perfect way to shine the spotlight on what truly matters. Not anyone else in this match, no no, they don’t deserve it as much as I do. I won’t deny that they have talent, I won’t deny that somewhere deep down Limmy Monaghan, Madison Kaline, and The Visual Prophet have a sliver of talent in them. But in the end, they’ve met someone that’s going to halt their Championship aspirations before it can even start, and that’s me. I’m going to make sure that I win this, and no matter what they decide to throw my way, NONE of them are going to stop me.
Michael Belfort: Well you can also say that you’re the underdog in this match as well. Compared to everyone you seem to have a significant disadvantage especially having never fought for a World Championship before. What do you think of that?
Amir Yusuf: I could take offense, but really that’s the truth. Not many people see me winning this match and you know what? That’s fine. I’m used to having my back against the wall, the odds against me, everything. This underdog position that you talk about? Is something that has been the story of my career in EAW thus far. And let me just say, it has created results, correct? Did they ever imagine the green, run-of-the-mill, rookie formerly known as Michael Jack ever making it in this company? No, but it happened anyway. Did they expect me to tap out Ryan Wilson in Kuwait to win the New Breed Championship? Furthermore less than three months since my debut? No, and let me repeat… but it happened anyway. Did they expect me to win Rookie of The Year over all the other contenders? Well, I think you know the answer to that already. The point is, I have a history of proving people wrong and defying the odds. It’s something in my blood at this point and it’s time to remind people of that. And I mean, what better than winning a match absolutely nobody expects me to win?
Michael Belfort: Hypothetically, let’s say you walk out of tonight emptyhanded. That’s no insult to your abilities, by the way, this match in its entirety is a toss-up. Do you think that there are still big things planned for Amir Yusuf on the Dynasty brand in Season 16?
Amir Yusuf: Of course, what do you want me to say-
???: Alright, times up little buddy.
(Amir pauses and raises an eyebrow looking to see where the voice came from. The camera then pans over once again to show Jay Jerry Johnson moving Michael to the side and confronting Amir face-to-face. Amir is confused but nonchalant while Jay has a smirk on his face, looking amused at this encounter.)
Amir Yusuf: What the hell are you doing here?
Jay Jerry Johnson: I had an interview scheduled, but then I heard that someone had taken my slot. So… here I am. I had something momentous to announce too, something much more interesting than this main event match that you’re obviously going to lose. I just got out of a meeting with Tyrone Montgomery, and it’s official. Upon the “unfortunate” news of Ryan Wilson being traded to Showdown, in return… Dynasty gets me. So you’re looking at the newest member of the Friday Night Dynasty roster. And you already being here, I figured why not give you a warning beforehand. I’ll be happy to sit in a locker room with you, if anything, allow this to be an introduction, but make no mistake about it, if you get in my way… I’ll have no problem taking you out.
(Jay finishes speaking and Amir responds with a over-exaggerated yawn.)
Amir Yusuf: Done yet?
(Amir then chuckles before shaking his head while looking at Jay.)
Amir Yusuf: Wish I was intimidated, but I am talking to Jay Jerry Johnson of all people. Someone who has more looks than wins in this company and frankly I find it pathetic especially with your track record as of late how desperate this attempt at asserting dominance is. This probably would’ve worked on anyone else, but I’m not going to fall for your shitty antics. I’m not buying it, and if you want to test that, then I won’t be afraid to add another loss to the column. Trust me, I’ll give you some advice right now, you don’t even want to try it.
(Jay shrugs his shoulders, before patting Amir on the shoulder, which Amir quickly shakes off in disgust before Jay continues to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Do what you want man. Go out there and just be the less-than-exceptional Elitist you are. I’m just saying when this all comes back to bite you and you and I end up standing across the ring from one another… don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
(Jay shoulder bumps Amir as he takes his leave from the scene, Amir watching on and having an annoyed look on his face in response. It’s clear he didn’t expect to be interrupted, especially from Jay Jerry Johnson who was to his knowledge a Showdown Elitist. But now it’s over with and it’s clear even with the situation put to rest, the two are far from done. From there, Friday Night Dynasty then begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!! :blessed:!!!!!
(‘Antihero’ by LISA begins to blast through the arena, as a mixed reaction of cheers and boos begin to pour down as Jay Jerry Johnson walks through the curtain! He looks focused, walking down to the ring with purpose as he rolls into the ring, and backs into his corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first…from Yokohama, Japan…weighing in at 206 pounds…he is The ‘Charismatic Artist’…Triple J, JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson is coming from Dynasty all the way from Showdown here tonight, and he has a tough challenge in the New Era Classic Tournament winner, Joso!!
Flannery McCoy: Triple J knows what he is getting himself into, and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have it any other way! It is definitely going to be a challenge, but if Jay can catch Joso off guard, he might be able to pull off the upset!
Jake Mercer: :wow: This man is extraordinary! Jay Jerry Johnson! Jeff Jeffery Jefferson! John Jonathon Johnson-
Stew-O: Stop. :francis:
(‘Antihero’ would fade out, as ‘Trophies’ by Drake begin to play throughout the arena, as everyone in attendance explodes in cheers, as Joso walks through the curtain! Looking confident as ever, he walks down to the ring, breathing in the reaction before walking up the stairs, and entering the ring before posing.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent…from Bronx, New York…weighing in at 206 pounds…he is The ‘New Era’….JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: #MYNEWERA :blessed:!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Joso had a great showing last week against the current Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion in Andre Walker, and despite the losing effort he definitely proved himself to not be someone to mess with!
Stew-O: He has been on a roll since winning the New Era Classic Tournament at Pain For Pride, but this week is yet another challenge for him as he goes one on one against Showdown own, Jay Jerry Johnson!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Right away, Joso and Jay Jerry Johnson run right at each other, meeting one another in the center of the ring where Joso catches Jay off guard with a swift calf kick! Jay didn’t expect it, but he is right back up to his feet, as Joso now runs the ropes, and he goes at Jay, but Jay moves out of the way forcing Joso to run the opposite ropes, and he catches him with an armdrag, and he holds on before kicking the life out of Joso with a kick right to the head! Joso is trying to get away, but JJJ still has his arm!
Flannery McCoy: AND TRIPLE J DROPS DOWN AND HE IMMEDIATELY LOCKS AN ARMBAR IN ON JOSO THIS EARLY ON! I DON’T THINK JOSO EXPECTED THIS WHATSOEVER, BUT HE ALREADY IS IN A SPOT WHERE HE CAN LOSE!!! He’s trying to escape the armbar, but Jay Jerry Johnson continues to wrench it in even tighter, and now he’s kicking right at Joso’s head! Joso is trying to push himself towards the ropes, and he is able to make it, as he grabs the ropes, and the Referee forces Jay off him! A hot start out of the gates!
Jake Mercer: And I don’t think they are stopping, as Joso is right back on his feet, and Jay runs right at him-…but this time Joso grabs him by the head, and takes him over and down with a side headlock slam! Joso lets go, and now he grabs Jay by the arm, throwing him over onto his stomach, AND NOW JOSO LOCKS IN A CROSSFACE! NOW IT’S TRIPLE J WHO HAS NOWHERE TO GO, AS HE IS TRYING TO CRAWL TO THE ROPES, BUT JOSO CONTINUES TO HOLD HIM BACK! Jay realizes he can’t do anything, and he turns it into a rollup! Jay could have it here!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!
T-
Stew-O: Joso is forced to let go of the crossface as he kicks out, and now they are back up to their feet-…LOOK! JAY JUST PICKED THE ANKLE OF JOSO, AND JOSO FALLS OVER AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON NOW LOCKS IN AN ANKLE LOCK! JOSO HAS NOWHERE TO GO, BUT HE REALIZES HIS SURROUNDINGS AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE IN THE CORNER…AND HE TWISTS THEM THE OTHER WAY, BEFORE PULLING JAY OVER INTO A ROLLUP OF HIS OWN! NOW JOSO CAN HAVE IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!
T-
Flannery McCoy: But this time it’s Jay Jerry Johnson who kicks out, both of them once more getting back up to their feet-…AND JOSO RIGHT TO THE CHEST OF TRIPLE J WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE! That just knocked the life of Jay, and the pacing of this has been slowed down in a heartbeat! Wow! Jay is still trying to get his bearings, as Joso just waits to catch his breath in the corner. Triple J is slowly making it back up to his feet, but Joso stops it as he knees Jay right in the gut.
Jake Mercer: Joso was able to stop Jay Jerry Johnson right in his tracks, and now because of that Joso is going to be able to take the advantage in this match. Joso gets Jay up to his feet, before throwing him towards the ropes, and Jay rebounds off then and right into Joso who catches him with a stiff uppercut! But Jay stays on his feet! Triple J is wobbly as Joso now runs the ropes, but Jay is able to catch Joso with a leg sweep, before driving his knee right into the skull of Joso.
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson is looking to get some momentum back in this match, as he drops to his knees, before grabbing Joso by the arm and he begins to wrench in an armhold! Joso is able to slip his way out of it, but it doesn’t matter as Jay connects with a quick roundhouse kick upon them both getting up to their feet- no! He ducked it! Joso ducks the roundhouse kick, before catching Jay with a low kick right to the knee! Jay falls over, and Joso runs the ropes before kneeing him right in the face!
Flannery McCoy: Triple J doesn’t know what to do here, as Joso continues to just lay him out with those lefts and rights! Joso throws Jay into the corner, and he runs towards him-…but Jay is able to catch him with a big boot! And now Jay jumps over the top rope and onto the apron. Joso is trying to fight Jay off, but Jay grabs Joso by the head! Jay has Joso…AND HE LIFTS HIM UP AND OVER THE ROPES…AND HE JUMPS OFF THE APRON! FALCON’S ARROW FROM THE APRON ONTO THE FLOOR BELOW!!! JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND JOSO ARE BOTH OUT COLD!
Jake Mercer: Neither Jay nor Joso are moving right now, and the referee has no choice but to start a count! We may see a double countout here!
ONE!
TWO!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe: Jay Jerry Johnson is trying to crawl, but he can’t move! Both of these two are hurt badly in this match! And the referee just continues to count away!
THREE!
FOUR!
Stew-O: Look! Triple J is using the apron as a way to stand on his feet, and he js able to get up! But now he has to try and pull up the dead weight of Joso, and he is managing to get him up! Jay is getting him up but the referee continues!
FIVE!
SIX!
………….
Jake Mercer: JOSO JUST CAUGHT JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE! THAT SUPERKICK ROCKED HIM AND HE FALLS BACK DOWN TO A KNEE! Joso now quickly picks him back up to his feet, AND HE RUNS JAY RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST HEAD FIRST! And now he RUNS HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! Joso won’t let off, but you can tell he wasted some energy on that as now he needs to take a breather, but that’s not so good with the current situation!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And I think that Joso notices this as now he grabs Triple J! Joso is dragging Jay to the ring, and slowly but surely he is able to place Jay into the ring!
NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK!! JAY IS KEEPING JOSO OUTSIDE OF THE RING! JOSO IS TRYING TO GET IN BUT JAY WON’T LET HIM! JAY WON’T LET HIM! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH BY COUNTOUT, AS HE DROPS DOWN AND KICKS RIGHT AT JOSO THROUGH THE ROPES!
TEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! HE SLIDES INTO THE RING BREAKING THE COUNT BEFORE STOMPING RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF TRIPLE J WITH THE STANDING DOUBLE STOMP!!! Joso now picks Jay up, and drags him back to the middle of the ring before connecting with a forearm strike! But Jay returns the favor with one of his own! And another forearm by Joso, and Jay again returns the favor with one of his own! BUT JOSO CATCHES JAY WITH AN UPPERCUT AND THAT ROCKS HIM! Joso now grabs Jay by the head, and he’s lifting him up! SUPLEX LIFT INTO THE CUTTER! EXECUTIONER FROM HELL CONNECTS!!!!-
………………..
Jake Mercer: PRETTY VISITOR! PRETTY VISITOR! IN MID AIR JAY JERRY JOHNSON WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY SHIFT HIS MOMENTUM AND TWIST AROUND, BEFORE DROPPING JOSO WITH A CUTTER OF HIS OWN! PRETTY VISITOR HIT THE MARK AND JOSO IS OUT OF IT, AND NOW TRIPLE J ROLLS HIM OVER ONTO HIS BACK, AND INTO A PIN! HE COULD HAVE IT HERE! JOSO COULD BE OUT OF IT!
OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
Flannery McCoy: HE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! JOSO MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! We thought that Jay Jerry Johnson had won this match with that Pretty Visitor, but Joso manages to stay alive and keep this match going! That was incredible! But you can tell from the facial expression across the face of Triple J that he is getting frustrated with the resilience on display from Joso! Jay manages back up to his feet, as he picks Joso back up to his feet, before rocking him with a forearm strike, and Joso bounces into the ropes, and he rebounds at Jay and returns the favor with a forearm of his own!
Stew-O: But Jay kicks Joso right in the knee cap, and that drops him back down as Triple J now runs the ropes, but Joso gets up and catches him with a headlock…and connects with a headlock driver! Joso rolls through, still holding onto Jay, and he connects with a swift hold-on enziguri that nails Jay right in the face as he falls over. Jay Jerry Johnson is laid out, and now Joso moves to the corner, and he starts to climb the top rope! He looks down at Jay, who hasn’t moved, and he takes the risk! He jumps off the top rope, and he connects with a HUGE MOONSAULT!!!
Jake Mercer: But he can’t capitalize with a cover! Joso just rolls off the prone body of Triple J, and he is holding his gut, as that moonsault must have taken quite a bit out of him! Joso now slowly makes it back up to his feet, but you can tell that he’s still feeling those effects, as he slowly picks Jay up, and he kicks him right in the midsection. Joso now grabs Jay by the arm, and throws him off the ropes, but he rebounds, and he flips over Joso into a sunset flip! But Jay rolls through, and he goes for a roundhouse kick, but Joso ducks it!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! JOSO GRABS A HOLD OF JAY, AND PICKS HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY…BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN BACK ONTO HIS FEET, AND NOW INTO THE SUPLEX LIFT, AND RIGHT INTO THE CUTTER! EXECUTIONER FROM HELL CONNECTS!! JOSO HITS IT THIS TIME, AND JUMPS INTO THE COVER!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Stew-O: JAY JERRY JOHNSON GETS THE SHOULDER UP-
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO PICKS JAY RIGHT BACK UP, AND ONTO HIS SHOULDERS INTO THE FIREMAN’S CARRY, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM!!! ‘RUNAWAY’!!!!! JOSO GETS HIS SHOULDER OVER JAY, AND YET ANOTHER COVER!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR–––––
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER KICKOUT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS BEEN PUSHING JOSO WAY PAST HIS LIMITS, AND YOU CAN TELL BY JOSO’S FACE JUST HOW MUCH RESPECT HE’S GAINING FOR JAY! Joso gets back up, and he pulls Jay up with him-…
Stew-O: JAY ROLLS JOSO UP! JOSO IS CAUGHT! JAY IS GOING TO WIN RIGHT HERE WITH THIS ROLLUP! JOSO DIDN’T SEE IT COMING, AND NOW JAY JERRY JOHNSON MAY HAVE STOLEN THIS WIN RIGHT FROM OUT OF UNDER JOSO!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: NO! JOSO ESCAPES, AND NOW THEY BOTH MAKE IT BACK UP TO THEIR FEET-… PRETTY VISITOR!!! PRETTY VISITOR!!!!! THE CUTTER CONNECTS!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO IT DOESN’T! JOSO HOLDS ONTO HIM, BEFORE PICKING HIM OFF HIS FEET, AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEES WITH A BACKSTABBER, BEFORE ROLLING THEM THROUGH-
Stew-O: JOSO LOCKS IN FOR HONOR! FOR HONOR IS LOCKED IN, THE CHICKENWING OVER THE SHOULDER CROSSFACE, AND JAY HAS NOWHERE TO GO! HE IS TRAPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING…AND WAIT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON ROLLS THROUGH AGAIN! JOSO’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: JOSO IS FORCED TO LET GO AS HE KICKS OUT, AND NOW THEY BOTH GET BACK UP-…AND JAY STUMBLES! HE STUMBLES RIGHT INTO JOSO!!!
Flannery McCoy: HEAVEN’S GATE! JOSO CAUGHT JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND CONNECTED WITH THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! HEAVEN’S GATE AND JAY’S LIGHTS ARE OUT! JOSO CRAWLS OVER TO HIM, AND HE GETS THE SHOULDER OVER JAY’S BODY! THAT’S IT!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Trophies’ begins to play throughout the arena, cheers flowing down on Joso as he slowly but surely gets back up to his feet. He understands the war that he just went through, and he is definitely feeling the effects of it as the Referee holds his arm up in victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…JOSO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: It took three of his biggest moves, but in the end, it was Joso who was able to pick up the win over Jay Jerry Johnson in this amazing match here tonight!
Flannery McCoy: We expected these two to have this kind of a match, but we didn’t expect for it to be THIS good! Jay came from Showdown, and he put everything on the line, but in the end it was not enough.
(Joso would continue to celebrate his victory, as Jay Jerry Johnson crawls over to the ropes and leans against them. Joso notices this, as he walks over to Jay, and he extends a hand out to him! Jay accepts this, as Joso helps him up, and shakes his hand! Jay would then raise the arm of Joso, before exiting the ring and walking up the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: :wow: It looks like Jay Jerry Johnson has earned the respect of Joso here tonight! Both of these men left it all in the ring, and only one could have walked out with the victory here tonight. Congratulations to Joso!
(Joso celebrates his victory once again, posing in the middle of the ring as the camera shows Jay continuing to walk up the ramp. The camera would then fade from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty continues on with the scene fading into the backstage area, where the camera comes upon Michael Belfort in the interview area. With a smile on his face, Michael raises his microphone.)
Michael Belfort: Friday Night Dynasty has been one heck of a run here tonight with the action and moments continuing to pick up, and it’s all still far from over! There’s even more to come! But I think things are only going to get more interesting as I bring on my next guest, Sunday Night Voltage’s own Diamond Dixon!
(The announcement of Diamond’s name garners a mixed reaction and the Voltage Elitist walks into view with a smirk on her face as acknowledges the camera with a dismissive wave of her hand just as she takes a spot beside Michael.)
Michael Belfort: Diamond, as everyone’s seen, things between yourself and the Specialists Champion, Serenity Valdez, have gotten quite heated! Ever since the Draft Show where you attacked her after her match against Donovan Duke and Alex Myers, Serenity has sought to get her hands on you but… well, let’s just take a look!
(Diamond can be seen rolling her eyes just as a transition effect comes across the screen, first displaying a replay of Friday Night Dynasty last week where Serenity calls out Diamond and Diamond’s entrance music plays only for Diamond to not show up in the arena just to then be attacked later on in the parking lot. It then cuts to a replay of Sunday Night Voltage with Serenity showing up and demanding to know Diamond’s whereabouts, only to find that Diamond isn’t in the arena and Serenity ultimately takes her frustrations out on a producer. It cuts back to Diamond and Michael, with Diamond looking amused with what she’s just seen.)
Michael Belfort: With what we’ve just seen, where do you think things go from here?
Diamond Dixon: First of all, don’t you think it’s interesting that it only took a few moments for me to go from being a “nobody” to someone that Serenity Valdez wants to go seeking out? Funny how that works, huh? Because now all she and anyone else can talk about when it comes to the Specialists Championship is me – everyone’s talking about Diamond Dixon because I’m the whole conversation, and now even the Champion herself can’t help but let the world know that I’m the one who they should be looking for when it comes to what I do next. She wants to talk about how I wasn’t on Pain for Pride and that I was supposedly bitter that I didn’t make it onto the show in the match – I can’t help that I’m in VERY high demand as everyone knows and had myself booked up throughout the week, but trust that I didn’t feel any type of way about not being at Pain for Pride because if anyone knows how to make an impact and get people talking, it’s obviously me!
(Diamond laughs to herself as she brushes her hair back behind her shoulder.)
Diamond Dixon: I’m not gonna say that I wouldn’t have been looking forward to getting on the card, but Pain for Pride just wasn’t the be-all, end-all for me because when you’re Diamond Dixon, the opportunities to make a name for myself are absolutely endless. I mean, c’mon, just look at what’s happened in the last few weeks – this is probably the most anyone has ever talked about anything involving Serenity and it’s all thanks to me! Hell, she owes me for even getting people engaged with what she’s got going on now because I can’t imagine too many of the other girls getting the crowd as buzzing as I do. I’ve been featured on television with World Champions, I’ve shared time on my show with EAW Hall of Fame legends – Serenity just doesn’t know how lucky should consider herself when it comes to me aiming to make an impact this season the way that I have already. It’s just real unfortunate for her that I decided to set my sights on her. That’s why I’m not gonna sugarcoat anything, Michael, because I want the Specialists Championship. And thankfully… Tyrone Montgomery was smart enough to give that to me at the beginning of the show.
Diamond Dixon: People will wanna point out the sneak attacks or whatever, get up in arms about the way I went about things, but at the end of the day, I’m gonna do what I know is gonna get me that opportunity when I want it. So why wait when I know what I want? I’m waiting for no one and I’m definitely not about to sit on my hands like some others around here would, looking absolutely stupid when they could’ve already taken their shot – and I’m just that confident in who I am and what I can do. It’s really not my fault that people can’t move with the same confidence, but not everyone can be me, now can they? That’s what separates me from the pack: anyone else would’ve waited to get handed the moment or the opportunity, but I struck when I wanted to and now I’m the one in the headlines while the other girls are watching from the sidelines. It was really no problem at all for me to cut right to the front of the imaginary lines people think exist knowing that there was a damn good chance no one else was gonna about business the way I have, and that’s the reason I’m the one getting the spotlight – it’s why I’m the one who’s in Serenity’s head. And seeing as how she decided to snap backstage on Voltage and let the psycho in her loose on a producer, I’d say that if anyone wants this match just as much if not more than me, it’s Serenity herself.
Michael Belfort: But don’t you think that you could’ve just-
Diamond Dixon: Actually, you know what? I’ll take it from here.
(Diamond impatiently rolls her eyes as she unexpectedly snatches the microphone from Michael, waving him off of the interview set until she’s sure that he’ll be out of the view of the camera. With a smirk on her face, Diamond continues on by herself.)
Diamond Dixon: I’m sure you’re somewhere backstage here watching, Serenity, so what I wanna tell you right now is one way or another, I’m going to become the Specialists Champion. And if you’re anything like you say you are – if you’re really one of the top Champions in EAW like you think you are – you’re going to give me a Serenity Valdez at her very best instead of a coward who doesn’t want this match. I mean, if you wanna get your hands on me so bad that you’re willing to attack someone who’s completely innocent in this, then it really shouldn’t be a problem for you to agree to it! You don’t wanna be known as a Champion who backs down from a fight, right? You don’t wanna be the Champion who’s known for being a whole coward when someone brought the fight to your doorstep, right? I’m actually doing you a courtesy right now, Serenity, because if you ask me, who else would you have faced? But now you’re on the clock, and time’s ticking away before your reign as Champion comes to an end, and who knows what I’m going to do.
Diamond Dixon: Let me tell you right now, what happened last week and the week before that at the Draft Show, is gonna look like just a scratch compared to what else could come your way. What happened in the parking lot and how absolutely pathetic you looked putting your hands on a harmless producer because of what happened is going to end up being the least of your worries when you know that I’m gonna keep bringing the heat. And trust me, you aren’t gonna like what else happens if I think for a second that you’re holding out on me, Serenity. The longer I have to wait, the more you’re gonna find out that it was all only just the beginning of what more I’m capable of; but no matter what, I’m getting that Specialists Championship and there’s gonna be no way than for you to try to act like you don’t know who the hell I am. I’ll be the woman who not only took that title but I’ll be the same woman that you absolutely won’t ever forget.
(Diamond tosses the microphone back over her shoulder after blowing a kiss to the camera and walking off out of view, the scene fading out with the camera panning to show Diamond making her way down a hall before the screen goes black.)
(Inside the ring stands Stephie Love with a microphone as she’s prepared to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following non-title singles match is scheduled for one!
(“Party Goin’ Dumb” by Rico Nasty begins to play and the crowd erupts into boos as Astraea makes her way out with Dr. Angelo D’Angelo following after her!)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… making her way to the ring from Chicago, Illinois… being accompanied by Dr. Angelo D’Angelo… ASSSTTTRRRAAAEEEAAA JOOORRRDDDAAANNN!!!!!
Stew-O: The EAW Universe hasn’t been fond at all of Astraea’s decision to join up with Angelo D’Angelo, and that of course stems from the actions of Angelo and The Visual Prophet from last season.
Jake Mercer: She’s a strong, independent woman who’s capable of making her own choices – and people just don’t know how to handle that! They want to hate her because she chose to make a move that would only ever elevate her career, and this is how they respond?!
Flannery McCoy: Are just gonna overlook the stuff that Angelo and Viz ended up getting into once the road to Pain for Pride got underway as a possible reason for why the EAW Universe wants nothing to do with them? :skip:
Jake Mercer: Yes!
(Astraea makes her way into the ring while Angelo remains outside the ring, and now “Demeanor” by Pop Smoke featuring Dua Lipa begins to play! With the Specialists Championship around her waist, Serenity appears before the crowd from the back!)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Tijuana, Mexico… she is the reigning Specialists Champion…. “The Virtuosa” SEEERRREEENNNIIITTTYYY VAAALLLDDDEEEZZZ!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Things for Serenity have gotten… interesting, to say the least :lupe:! It was on Sunday Night Voltage that the Specialists Champion went in search of Voltage’s Diamond Dixon after having been attacked in the parking lot by her on Dynasty and well, when she couldn’t find Diamond, Serenity turned her attention upon a producer!
Stew-O: Attacking that producer was absolutely uncalled for and I’m sure that’s not going to go unpunished, but for now, Serenity has to be able to hold it together and keep her emotions in check when it comes to dealing with Astraea! We know Diamond will be watching and Serenity has that extra pressure added of not only dealing with one of EAW’s most talented stars but the woman with her sights set on the title is here tonight!
Jake Mercer: There’s all that pressure on Serenity and there’s pressure on Astraea to show this career move is going to be for the best! But with all that in mind, I’m willing to bet an Elitist from Dynasty is going to win this one, guys!
Stew-O: :skip:
(Serenity enters the ring and unstraps the Specialists Championship from around her waist to raise it in the air before handing it off, eventually setting her sights upon Astraea!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This non-title singles match is underway and these two women look ready to go! Serenity and Astraea circle the ring with them going to lock up in the middle, the Specialists Champion ducking around Astraea to get behind her and going into a waistlock! Serenity tries to take Astraea off of her feet but Astraea stays standing, Serenity trying to get the advantage early here over the EAW veteran!
Jake Mercer: But Astraea wears an actual smirk as she shakes her head, seemingly amused with Serenity’s attempt to get her down before Astraea grabs her by the wrists to start pulling the Champion’s arms from around her despite the struggle made by Serenity- ASTRAEA DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT AND THROWS SERENITY OVER HER! SERENITY GOES FLYING ACROSS THE RING IN THE MODIFIED ARM DRAG AND SHE CRASHES TO THE MAT! Serenity rolls over to try to get up hastily, BUT ASTRAEA CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE TO KNOCK HER BACK DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Angelo D’Angelo applauds Astraea on the outside as he watches her land a kick to the ribs of the Champion and proceeds to grab her by the hair, pulling her off the mat as she starts to land repeated forearms to the face! Astraea is able to get her back against the ropes before whipping her across the ring and Serenity comes running off the ropes into a scoop powerslam! Getting caught in the power game of Astraea Jordan is definitely something you don’t want to have happen! Astraea now with the cover!
OOONNNEEE!
Stew-O: A kickout at one by the Specialists Champion but the instincts of the former Empress of Elite are at work here, as she goes right into an onslaught of knees to the ribs while holding Serenity down! Spotting that Astraea has a hand holding Serenity’s hair, the ring official instructs Astraea to let go and that she’ll have until a count of five to release the hair! The damage may already be done though as she brings Serenity to stand, sending knee lifts to the gut before taking her up into an overhead military press! Look at the strength of Astraea as she holds Serenity up over her head!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity is left to get dropped to the mat as Astraea simply lets her fall down and Astraea takes off into the ropes for a handstand, hitting off of them to come back onto her feet and up into the air for a standing moonsault- SERENITY GETS HER KNEES UP! ASTRAEA COMES CRASHING DOWN ON SERENITY’S KNEES AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION MAKES A TIMELY COUNTER! Astraea pulls herself away from Serenity with a hand to her ribs and Angelo is calling out for Astraea to get up-
Jake Mercer: SERENITY COMES OFF OF THE ROPES AHEAD OF ASTRAEA AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING METEORA! THE BACK OF ASTRAEA’S HEAD GETS DRIVEN DOWN AGAINST THE MAT! Serenity moving with the expert quickness that I’m sure fans aren’t surprised by if they followed along with her work in the Norwegian wrestling circuit where she became so renowned for her training regiment that she had Olympic athletes wanting exclusive training sessions!
Flannery McCoy: :skip:
Jake Mercer: I’d expect nothing less from such a world-traveled talent :wow:! Serenity looks to take advantage of the opening that she obtained for herself moments ago as she is up on her feet and stomping down on Astraea while she’s still on the mat, Angelo hollering from ringside for Serenity to get off of Astraea and let her get up but Serenity is having none of it! A nasty kick to the head sends Astraea rolling away as she looks to get some distance between them. Still, Serenity is following right after her, determined not to let her get away and she makes that clear by quickly grabbing Astraea off the mat and sending her into the ring post through the turnbuckles!
Stew-O: It looks like Astraea hit the post shoulder first as she’s caught there in between the top and middle turnbuckles, while Serenity steps out onto the apron at the corner where she takes hold of Astraea’s head and lands multiple knee strikes to the side of it! The referee warns the Specialists Champion of the illegal attack as Astraea is in the corner but Serenity doesn’t appear to care, entirely focused on her attack AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE THAT SMASHES ASTRAEA’S HEAD AGAINST THE POST! ASTRAEA IS SLUMPED AFTER THAT HIT FROM SERENITY!
Flannery McCoy: AND IT DOESN’T STOP THERE AS SERENITY PULLS HER OUT OF THE CORNER AND ONTO THE APRON, CONNECTING WITH A DDT ON THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! ASTRAEA’S HEAD GETS SPIKED OFF THE APRON AND SHE FALLS OVER WITH A THUD ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Stew-O: Serenity pats herself on the shoulder after that and rolls Astraea into the ring under the bottom rope, making a pin attempt right there in the middle of the ring!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: But Astraea kicks out much to the relief of Angelo D’Angelo at ringside!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity knows that Diamond Dixon has surely got to be watching this action and she can’t afford to make any mistakes to show that Diamond isn’t in her head like Diamond presumed herself to be. Serenity gets over Astraea into a number of mounted punches before pulling her into the corner by her hair, pressing her foot against Astraea’s throat while having her seated against the bottom turnbuckle! Serenity uses the top rope for leverage as she ignores the ring official’s warnings once again before starting to stomp repeatedly on Astraea and the referee has to pull Serenity out of the corner!
Stew-O: Serenity argues with the official and I think Serenity is going to have to be very careful here; she attacked a producer on Sunday Night Voltage after she couldn’t find Diamond there backstage and I don’t think she can really stand to have an attack on a ring official on her hands! Astraea pulls herself up in the corner while Serenity continues to argue with the referee- BUT NOW SHE PUSHES HIM ASIDE AND GOES AFTER ASTRAEA TO CONTINUE HER ATTACK! SERENITY IS PUMMELING ASTRAEA IN THE CORNER BEFORE TAKING HER OUT OF IT IN A SNAP SUPLEX, NOW LOOKING FOR A FLOAT-OVER- A SMALL PACKAGE PIN BY ASTRAEA! SHE HAS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION ROLLED UP FOR THE PIN!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: The awareness of Astraea Jordan :whew:!! They race up to their feet and Astraea ducks around an oncoming clothesline from the Champion and shoves her into the ropes while having a waistlock on Serenity, using the momentum to roll back into a deadlift german perhaps- BUT SERENITY COUNTERS WITH A VICTORY ROLL!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
Stew-O: But Astraea is able to get out of it by forcing her shoulder up and getting Serenity off of her, hurrying to get up only to get caught in a side headlock before she could get to a vertical base! Serenity hoping to maintain her control here as she drops elbows across the back of the neck and holds onto the back of the head as she jumps into a facebreaker knee smash! Astraea’s head snaps back as she collides with Serenity’s knee after Serenity pulls her down into it and she falls over onto the mat with a hand to her face, looking certainly caught off guard as Serenity looks to take more of her frustrations out on Astraea!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity stomps a foot down on Astraea’s back before grabbing one of her legs to get her into a half crab! Angelo comes around the ring to be on the side that Astraea is facing and he tries to rally Astraea back into the fight while repeatedly slapping his hands down on the apron, but this crowd is booing Angelo despite his attempts! Even Serenity tells him to shut up but none of this deters Angelo from making his voice heard!
Jake Mercer: Exactly, king! Don’t let ANY of these people silence you!
Stew-O: Serenity wrenches back on the leg as she has her knee in the middle of Astraea’s back and I imagine that she’s looking to wear down Astraea so that she can’t rely on that power she’s known for! The Specialists Champion appears to be in full control here as she has Astraea in the middle ring, where Astraea is trying to get herself out of this hold by pushing herself up off the mat-
Flannery McCoy: But Serenity just raises up and drops a knee right down in the middle of Astraea’s back again! Serenity goes to adjust her hold but Astraea is pushing off the mat again while Serenity is trying to regain her position over Astraea, and now Astraea is starting to turn herself over on the mat- AND SHE BRINGS HER LEGS IN TO PULL SERENITY DOWN AND INTO A KICK TO THE FACE WHEN SHE SHOOTS THE FREE LEG BACK OUT!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY AND ASTRAEA RACE UP TO THEIR FEET WITH ASTRAEA CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT! THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION GETS KNOCKED DOWN AND SHE HURRIES TO GET UP, ONLY TO GET DRIVEN INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BY ASTRAEA AND THE FORMER EMPRESS OF ELITE HAS THE CHAMPION CORNERED AS SHE CONNECTS WITH SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE MIDSECTION!!!
Stew-O: Astraea isn’t holding back as she lets Serenity have it, knowing that she Serenity spent enough time in the driver’s seat trying to weaken her and now she’s letting the Specialists Champion in on what it’s like to have Astraea Jordan looking to dominate the competition! The ring official is beside Astraea letting her know that she’ll have to bring Serenity out of the corner in just a matter of moments before he has to start a five-count- ASTRAEA TOSSES SERENITY OUT OF THE CORNER BY HER HAIR AND SERENITY COMES CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT! The ring official tries to follow after Astraea while trying to reprimand her for going after the hair but she’s paying him absolutely no attention as Serenity is getting herself up, AND DUCKS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM ASTRAEA BEFORE LOOKING TO TAKE HER DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ASTRAEA GOES OVER HER IN A SUNSET FLIP- ASTRAEA GETS UP ON HER FEET AND HITS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST BEFORE SERENITY COULD EVEN REALIZE IT! Serenity rolls away with her hands to her chest with Angelo getting even more vocal in his support for Astraea Jordan, who tracks Serenity to the ropes AND ASTRAEA SHOOTS AHEAD OF HER TO HIT OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THAT’S ANOTHER DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE HEAD NOW! “POWER OF SOUL” CONNECTS ON SERENITY AND THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION GETS DRIVEN FACE FIRST DOWN AGAINST THE MAT! ASTRAEA KICKING HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES TO MAKE THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TTTHHH-
Jake Mercer: Serenity with her shoulder up off the mat! Astraea merely shakes her head as she raises up out of the pin and takes Serenity over to the corner where she places her on the top turnbuckle to surely go for what will be a big move from up top! Astraea climbs up after her and gets onto the middle turnbuckle, WHICH IS WHEN SERENITY STARTS PUNCHING BACK! SERENITY IS FIGHTING TO PREVENT WHATEVER ASTRAEA HAS IN MIND AND ASTRAEA IS SWINGING BACK IN AN EFFORT TO STAND HER GROUND-
Stew-O: SERENITY SLIDES DOWN FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND COMES OUT OF THE CORNER FROM BETWEEN ASTRAEA’S LEGS- SERENITY KICKS A LEG OUT FROM UNDER ASTRAEA AND ASTRAEA FALLS TRAPPED ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! A BACKSTABBER!! SERENITY GETS THE TRAPPED ASTRAEA BY THE SHOULDERS AND PULLS HER FROM THE TURNBUCKLES INTO TWO KNEES TO THE BACK!
Flannery McCoy: Astraea and Serenity are both down after that desperation move from Serenity as she saw that Astraea was looking to get even closer to putting this match away, but it doesn’t look like we’re going to be nearing the end just yet! Serenity gets herself off the mat and finds Astraea using the ropes in the corner to get up as well, and Serenity tries to take quick advantage of things as she grabs Astraea by the head and pulls her out into the middle of the ring in an inverted headlock! Serenity lifting Astraea up while having in the hold-
Stew-O: Astraea is somehow able to up and over the shoulder of the Specialists Champion! Astraea comes down behind her on her feet and starts to throw punches into her back, spinning her around to start throwing them at Serenity’s face! Astraea catching her with a nasty boot to the gut before she shoves Serenity backward before she could retaliate, Serenity going into the ropes and coming back- THE CHAMPION DUCKS A SPINNING HEEL KICK AND CUTS HER RUN SHORT TO TURN BACK AROUND INTO A CHOP BLOCK! ASTRAEA GOES DOWN AFTER THAT STRIKE TO THE KNEE!
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW SERENITY LOOKS TO STRIKE WITH “HIT THE LIGHTS”- NO! ASTRAEA IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO TURN AWAY FROM IT AND TRIPS SERENITY UP! Astraea hastily trying to get her up, but Serenity starts sending elbows as Astraea got a hold of her from behind and she frees herself up from Astraea Jordan’s grasp! Serenity kicks Astraea in the stomach and the force of that is able to send her stumbling over to lean back against the ropes! “FALL FROM GRACE”- ASTRAEA SIDESTEPS SERENITY ONCE MORE AS SERENITY LOOKED FOR A SPRINGBOARD MANEUVER! SERENITY ENDS UP OUT ON THE APRON AFTER GOING THROUGH THE ROPES- A DROPKICK KNOCKS HER DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: Angelo is all for it as he stands near the post, the referee warns him to stay back but Angelo tells the official to leave him alone! Astraea exits the ring and gets Serenity off the floor, driving her into the barricade! The ring official calls on Astraea to get Serenity back into the ring but Serenity is driven into the barricade once again by the former Tag Team Champion, who doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to follow the orders given to her by the referee!
Stew-O: Astraea peels the reigning Specialists Champion off the barricade and lifts her up over her shoulder, BEFORE TAKING OFF TOWARD THE CORNER OF THE BARRICADE! BUT JUST BEFORE SHE CAN RAM SERENITY INTO IT, SERENITY IS ABLE TO RAISE HER FEET TO STOP THE COLLISION! SERENITY KICKS OFF THE BARRICADE AGAIN AND FLIPS OVER INTO A BLOCKBUSTER TO DRIVE ASTRAEA’S HEAD DOWN ON THE GROUND!!! ASTRAEA MOST CERTAINLY WASN’T EXPECTING THAT!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity gathers herself off the ground and turns over to get a hold of Astraea, punching her over the head while working on getting the veteran up and slams her face off the barricade once she has Astraea back up on her feet! The Champion follows after a stumbling Astraea who tries to get away but Serenity gets her again, Astraea dropping to a knee at the barricade after going face first off of it once more! Serenity gets her in a front headlock to begin pulling her away from the barricade, but seemingly sensing the danger, Astraea starts throwing shots to the side to try to get herself free!
Jake Mercer: But it’s a knee to the face from Serenity that brings that to a halt and Astraea finds herself stunned before Serenity looks for a suplex out there at ringside, but Astraea hooks her leg around one of Serenity’s to block it! Astraea shifts the momentum back onto her side as she lifts Serenity up- SERENITY GOES OVER ASTRAEA’S SHOULDER BUT LANDS ON HER FEET, GETTING OUT OF THE HOLD ASTRAEA HAS ON HER! Astraea turns around- “EL ULTIMO BAILE”!!!! SERENITY HITS THE RECOIL AND ASTRAEA FALLS TO THE GROUND AFTER SERENITY STRIKES WITH PRECISION!!!!
Stew-O: Sure, but now she has to get Astraea in the ring! Serenity is up on her feet and she grabs Astraea to roll her into the ring-
Jake Mercer: HUH?!?!??!!?!
Flannery McCoy: :krabs:!!!!!
Stew-O: DIAMOND DIXON ATTACKS SERENITY FROM BEHIND!!!! JUST AS SERENITY WAS CLIMBING UP ONTO THE APRON, DIAMOND STRUCK SERENITY OVER THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!! DIAMOND YANKS SERENITY DOWN AND CONTINUES TO PUMMEL HER OVER THE HEAD, AND THE REFEREE IS CALLING FOR THE BELL!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: I’ve just been informed that this has just been ruled as a disqualification in favor of Serenity due to Diamond’s interference! But Diamond is far from finished as she throws a knee right into Serenity’s face to lay her out and Serenity looks absolutely out of it as she’s down at Diamond’s feet!
Jake Mercer: GET UP! YOU CAN’T JUST LET HER COME INTO DYNASTY TERRITORY AND DO THIS!
Stew-O: What can she do from down there, Jake?! Serenity was blindsided by Diamond, who made it clear earlier tonight that she wants a match with Serenity and she wants it to be for the Specialists Championship!
Flannery McCoy: If the way Serenity had been acting on Voltage is any indication, I can’t imagine it’ll be hard to come across that title opportunity now; no way can Serenity turn down the challenge after this! Diamond taunts and trash talks Serenity while she’s still on the ground and struggling to pick herself up – Serenity has got to be disoriented right now! Diamond shoves her with her foot and what little progress Serenity was trying to make to get up was all for nothing as she’s back on the ground, but now Diamond isn’t looking to wait anymore as she gets a handful of hair and yanks Serenity up-
Stew-O: SERENITY GETS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE! SERENITY CLOBBERS DIAMOND AND DIAMOND STUMBLES BACK OUT OF SHOCK, JUST TO BE TACKLED TO THE GROUND BY SERENITY AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION GOT UP AND CHARGED HER! NOW SERENITY IS ALL OVER DIAMOND AS SHE THROWS THOSE FISTS AT DIAMOND’S FACE!!!!
Jake Mercer: The ring official from the match leaves from the ring and hurries over to the two brawling women, getting Serenity up off of Diamond and he tells her to stay back in an effort to keep these two separated! Serenity is shouting at him about Diamond attacking her and that she wouldn’t stand for it, Diamond slowly getting herself up off the ground, AND NOW THEY’RE BACK AT IT AS THE REFEREE QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: DIAMOND AND SERENITY SWING AWAY ON EACH OTHER, NEITHER OF THEM WANTING TO BACK DOWN! THE TWO OF THEM STARTING UP THE ENTRANCE AISLE WHILE THEY KEEP GOING AFTER EACH OTHER AND TRADE SHOTS, GETTING ALL THE WAY UP ONTO THE STAGE!
(Diamond and Serenity continue to brawl around the stage, ending up at the entrance area before the brawl spills into the backstage area with the ring official following after them and calling for extra help as they disappear out of sight! With the crowd in attendance still buzzing over the brawl that just happened out there in the arena, the scene fades out.)
(Backstage, SOSA Henderson and Aurora Monroe pull up in a porsche to the parking lot area. Aurora steps out, brows furrowed as she lets out a deep sigh. She shakes her head and eyes SOSA as he gets out next. He can be seen busting down an empanada.)
Aurora Monroe: You could’ve saved that for later, you know.
(SOSA pauses mid bite to look at Aurora through his shades. He goes back to eating the empanada. Monroe, however, grabs him by the arm and walks with him.)
Aurora Monroe: Seriously, pick your feet up. We’re already late! You know, I should’ve listened to my gut and never stopped at that food cart.
SOSA Henderson: Aye, their food is bussing though! You can’t lie!
Aurora Monroe: I mean, it was, but that’s besides the point. Also, never speak with your mouth full again.
( SOSA simply gives a nod and raises his hands. After getting one last bite of the goodies, he brushes his hands together and fixes his shades. )
SOSA Henderson: When a man’s gotta eat, he’s gotta eat.
Aurora Monroe: Oh yeah? Think you got enough space for a knuckle sandwich.”
(Aurora frowns, but SOSA laughs. )
Aurora Monroe: Seriously, can you stop? None of this is a laughing matter.
SOSA Henderson: I know, I know. Trust me, I’m just as hot about this as you are.
Aurora Monroe: Really? You’re certainly aren’t acting like it.
SOSA Henderson: Well, hey, we gotta use a lil’ bit of humor now and again to make things less… well… can’t even say the word anymore, but you catch my drift, right?
Aurora Monroe: Yeah, I guess…
(BULLETSTORM make their way down the hallways before stopping in front of the door. Despite his attitud earlier, a frown slowly begins to surface on the face of SOSA.)
SOSA Henderson: Well, here we are. Think he’s gonna actually listen to us?
Aurora Monroe: If he knows what’s good for him. He’ll have no choice but to.
SOSA Henderson: Heh. I like that attitude of yours, Aurora. Let’s go get him.
(The two don’t even bother to knock as they open the door. Sure enough, Tyrone Montgomery was inside by his desk, looking over some things on his laptop. His head snaps up by the duo’s sudden appearance. Still, he smiles.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, isn’t this a surprise? I must admit that I would’ve preferred if the two of had reached out to me ahead of time or… knock.. but it’s always a pleasure getting a chance to speak with–
Aurora Monroe: Cut it.
(Tyrone pauses. Aurora places her hands on the desk and so does SOSA. Both of them are eyeing Tyrone with a stern look.)
Aurora Monroe: All that sweet talk you’re trying to pull isn’t going to work with us. Have you forgotten who pinned the tag champions, now where’s our title shot? We just beat them last week, and as far as I can remember, anyone who manages to defeat a champion in a non-title contest automatically gets a title match against them. Isn’t that correct, SOSA?
SOSA Henderson: Big facts.
Aurora Monroe: So, we deserve a championship match against the Off-Brand Antephetamines. Not Sheridan and Bethany.
SOSA Henderson: For real, homie. You know, I’m not the kind of guy that complains and whines about not getting what they want, but this is some straight up BULL– sigh. It’s downright disrespectful, if I’m keeping it a hunnid with you. Us two deserve the chance to face off against them before anyone else! Besides, why wouldn’t anyone put us, a team consisting of a rising star and a made one, in a match against them? What’s so special about Sheridan and Bethany? I mean, come on… At least we proved to be an efficient team! Sheridan is probably gonna deck Bethany behind her head when she least expects it. Homegirl is a snake!
Aurora Monroe: As SOSA said, we’re the better team. Talent-wise, chemistry-wise, and cohesion-wise. Sheridan and Bethany, what, just jumps the tag champions and they get ahead of us? How does that make any conceivable sense? Hm?
(Tyrone sits there as BULLETSTORM vent. Silence follows. After a while, Tyrone clasps his hands together on the desk, offering another smile.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, I understand your frustrations. Truly, I do, and I apologize that the two of you feel slighted. However, we wish to do things that are ultimately going to be best for business. BULLETSTORM, there’s no doubt that the two of you have truly taken the EAW world, well, by storm. You two are amazing athletes. Aurora, your potential is limitless. You’re a natural talent, with a good look and you do have a certain appeal about you…
(Aurora seems to have a little smirk about her.)
Tyrone Montgomery: And SOSA? Well, you’re… good. A former champion and all of that. Wonderful.
(SOSA raises a brow.)
SOSA Henderson: That’s all? Really?
(Tyrone doesn’t really pay SOSA any mind as he continues.)
Tyrone Montgomery: See, you two are incredible, but as we’re looking to reshape EAW, we’re looking to present a certain image.
SOSA Henderson: Oh? A certain image, you say? And what could you possibly mean by that?
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, SOSA, you’re quite… rough around the edges. You are very much a representation of the old EAW so many are accustomed to. However, with this new direction that we’re headed, we need people who aren’t so gritty. We need people who are bit more clean and polished. As such, it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to push BULLETSTORM right away.
SOSA Henderson: Polished? Clean? Man, what are you even trying to say? Huh?
( Tyrone doesn’t answer. SOSA gets progressively more annoyed. Aurora kisses her teeth and shakes her head.)
Aurora Monroe: This is absolutely ridiculous! Who cares about pushing images? At the end of the day, this is wrestling. Winners are the ones that get pushed to the forefront.
Tyrone Montgomery: Yes, but I have to be real with the two of you. The executives don’t find this T’Challa and Storm pairing all that appealing. They’re looking for something more along the lines of…Shuri and Okoye!
(Aurora and SOSA both look at Tyrone bewildered trying to figure out if Tyrone is insinuating what they think he is)
Tyrone Montgomery: See, female empowerment is currently something that Disney is priortizing above all else. After all, some of the media that’s been released under them that shows women in leading or prominent roles have proven to be successful. The general public enjoy seeing these strong, positive depictions of them.
SOSA Henderson: (whispering to Aurora) Wanda’s psycho ass definitely ain’t positive.
(Tyrone raises a brow, making SOSA and Aurora stand still. He clears his throat before continuing.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Disney has made terrific strides in ensuring that their products is as diverse and inclusive as possible. So, what better way to continue that commitment to diversity than by having a Jewish woman and German one come together in the attempts to defeat the rough and rowdy Off-Brand Amphetamines? Oh, and not to mention that they’re both bisexual, so that group can finally look forward to getting some positive representation for a change!
(Aurora and SOSA look absolutely dumbfounded.)
SOSA Henderson: Okay, but… like, you already got that woman representation in Aurora. She can easily fill in for that spot with me! In fact, it would be better. Think about it: a strong black woman with a natural talent for the ring links up with a dude who’s is a former champion and they get to take over the division by taking out the current champs. That’s just as good, if not better! Not to mention my own background as well. I’m someone that should’ve never made it to EAW. Yet here I am, at the top of my game, and ready to get my crown back alongside Aurora. What’s not to love about that?
Tyrone Montgomery: Okay, but are any of you gay, or at least identify with the LGBTQIA+?
SOSA Henderson: Erm… n-no. I ain’t.
Aurora Monroe: Neither am I.
Tyrone Montgomery: Alright, then I rest my case. Maybe you guys can come back around in Feburary though and then I can see what can be done for the two of you. Now, it’s been a pleasure, but I must carry on with my work. Please, enjoy the rest of your evening.
(Tyrone, with that same smile of his, gives BULLETSTORM a wave before he focus on his laptop again. Aurora and SOSA look at each other, completely shocked after letting Tyrone’s statements settle in.)
SOSA Henderson: Oh. OH. Okay then. Aurora?
Aurora Monroe: Yes?
SOSA Henderson: Please tell me he did not say what I think he said.
Aurora Monroe: I’m afraid he did.
SOSA Henderson: Intention and everything, right?
Aurora Monroe: Yes.
SOSA Henderson: And he meant every single thing with that comment there. Right?
Aurora Monroe: Precisely.
(SOSA nods in quiet acknowledgement. Again, silence. The two of them remain in the office as Tyrone doesn’t pay them any attention. However, Aurora and SOSA grow more and more irate before they finally blow up.)
SOSA Henderson: You’re BUGGING THE HELL OUT! “Come back again in Februrary”?! You forreal with that nonsense?! You let that fly out of your mouth?! This is comedy hour now, huh?! Maybe your bald bitch ass should work for the circus then instead of for a mouse!
Aurora Monroe: We aren’t going to wait until February just for you and your horrid company to decide to pretend they care about black people. We are not some precious tokens for you to use when you feel like it. SOSA and I are the hottest tag team in EAW. We deserve this opportunity more than any other team here!
SOSA Henderson: Bro, I swear to GOD, you have tried it one too many times! You’re fixing to—
Tyrone Montgomery: Fixing to do what?
(Tyrone peels his eyes away from the screen to look at SOSA and Aurora.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Mr. Henderson, I understand you are not pleased with the decision, but these things are final. I never stated that the two of you would never get a championship match, did I? It just won’t be anytime soon. Once again, I never meant to upset the two of you. However, I’m not going to change plans just because you two demand it. This is the kind of attitude I was referring to with you, SOSA. Now, please leave before I have to call security.
SOSA Henderson: WHAT?! Security?!?! As if you would!
Tyrone Montgomery: Please, SOSA. Don’t make this a bigger spectacle than it has to be.
(Tyrone has his hand close in on the phone. With a huff, SOSA storms out of the office. Aurora makes her way out, but not before turning her head towards Tyrone and speaking.)
Aurora Monroe: This isn’t over. Far from it. We’ll meet again real soon, Mr. Montgomery.
(BULLETSTORM are out of the office now, with Aurora slamming the door shut. She and SOSA are fuming.)
SOSA Henderson: Yo, I ain’t bee this mad in a while! Who does he think he is? Huh!?! He wanted to be all slick with that corporate talk and try to make things sweet, but it ain’t ever gonna be sweet with him and us!
Aurora Monroe: I… am absolutely appalled. I never would’ve thought that I would have to deal with any of that.
???: Oh, what a travesty it is, indeed.
(BULLETSTORM pauses for a moment before turning around and seeing Dr. Angelo D’Angelo leaning by a wall close by the office. He shakes his head, carrying on with his dramatics as usual.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: A coon backstabbing their own people to appease the Bleach Monkeys above him. He probably thinks that he’s going to get that quarterly raise, but in truth he’ll only make a few cents more while some other unmelaninated menace gets more than him. Oh, for shame… and it’s even a bigger shame that such a wonderful, amazing black woman has to suffer because of the coon-acity of this race traitor.
(Dr. D’Angelo approaches Aurora while brushing past SOSA.)
SOSA Henderson: Ayo, what did we tell your weird ass last week about playing games with us?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: https://streamable.com/ct03y3
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: See, none of this would happen if you were with me, queen Aurora. A goddess like yourself needs somebody who knows how to maximize your worth! A REAL man to treat you right and help push your career on the right track. Not some…
(Dr. D’Angelo offers a look of disgust to SOSA.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: … thug that doesn’t know how to handle you.
SOSA Henderson: Watch your mouth you bean pie slinging hypocrite.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: See, Aurora, if you want your career to flourish, you should join me. SOSA is damaged goods. After all, weren’t you the one Tyrone Montcoonery was praising? He knows you’re talented. However, being attached to some low life scum? A CONVICT? That’s only going to make you be susceptible to getting passed by some white women that are just as interesting as a stack of blank, untitled documents.
Aurora Monroe: Wow.
(Dr. Angelo D’Angelo grins.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Yes. Wow, indeed, Miss Monroe! That is what people will be saying as they look at you in awe like the queen you are succeed under my gui—
Aurora Monroe: Oh, no, Dr. D’Angelo. I meant “wow” as in you have got to be the dumbest person I have ever met.
(That grin of Dr. Angelo D’Angelo goes away quickly.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Me? Dumb? What makes you say that?
(SOSA steps in and gets right in Dr D’Angelo’s face.)
SOSA Henderson: She means that you one big dummy for ever thinking you can split up BULLETSTORM, fool. And for you to disrespect me too? Now that’s the cherry on top.
Aurora Monroe: SOSA and I are a team through and through, so you need to back up and go bother other people who have time to put up with your nonsense.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: But, but—
SOSA Henderson: Ain’t no buts!
(SOSA makes a move as if he was going to punch Dr. D’Angelo but doesn’t. Still, Dr. D’Angelo flinches and covers up.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Okay, I’m sorry! My fellow African king, let’s think this all over and not get all violent! I was only just—
???: What the hell are y’all doing here?!
(In comes Astraea Jordan, running to defend her manager.)
Astraea Jordan: Listen, what you ain’t finna do is try and punk my manager out like this! Y’all need to chill before we turn this whole place upside down.
Aurora Monroe: Oh, cute. The lap dog came to save her master.
Astraea Jordan: Um, excuse you? Who are you talking to?
Aurora Monroe: You. Was it not clear enough?
(Astraea takes a step closer to Aurora, who doesn’t budge.)
Astraea Jordan: Oh, so if you gotta defend your boy over there, wouldn’t that make you a lap dog too? Girl, don’t start with me. I am not the one.
Aurora Monroe: Oh, you are very much the one since you want to get yourself involved. Also, this “girl” is very much more of a woman than you are, so I suggest you calm yourself down, little girl.
(Aurora gave a patronizing pat to the top of Astraea’s head, and that sets her off! She gives Aurora a push, but the two of them are pulled apart by Dr. D’Angelo and SOSA, respectively.)
SOSA Henderson: Aight, aight, that’s it! Let’s go, Aurora. It ain’t worth it getting at these fools.
Astraea Jordan: Fools?! SOSA, you know better than to try and talk like that.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Let’s get out of here, Astraea. We don’t need to get caught up with all of this madness!
(Aurora and Astraea send some harsh words at each other as they’re restrained. Soon, everyone splits to opposite ends of the arena, and we fade out into the next part of the show.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with the crowd bustling in anticipation while the camera focuses on Stephie Love who is standing in the ring ready to announce the next match at hand here tonight!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your MAIN EVENT!!! And the winner of this faces Andre Walker at Midsummer Massacre for the UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(‘You Say Run <WHM>’ by Yuki Hayashi begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show Limmy Monaghan make his way out to the stage. He has a serious expression on his face as he takes a deep breath and spreads his arms out before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… hailing from Beverly Hills, California… weighing in at 227 pounds… ‘THE LEADER’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan has been on a roll these past few months, and we know that beating Terry Chambers at Pain For Pride 15 was just the start of it. We know that he was destined for big things especially his Season, and he made that known by being one of the first people to confront Andre Walker for a shot at both his Championships.
Flannery McCoy: But just like everyone else in this match he has to earn it. He’s stepping into the ring against some tough competition and now he has to show that he has what it takes to be Andre’s first defense… and possibly his last.
Jake Mercer: My Kaiser??? First and last defense??? Impossible. I love Limmy, 5 star machine, but Andre will decimate him just like he did Viz! THAT’S FAXS!!!
(‘Back To Life’ by Soul II Soul plays up while the camera goes over to show The Visual Prophet make his way out from the backstage area with a grin on his face. He arrogantly looks around at the crowd before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring, trashtalking towards the camera while he does so.)
Stephie Love: And his opponents, first… residing in Engadine, Michigan… weighing in at 265 pounds… THE FOUNDER OF THE VISUAL PROPHET LEADERSHIP ACADEMY… THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for Viz he’s more so looking for redemption against Andre Walker after what happened at Pain For Pride 15. A missed opportunity now turnt around if he gets the chance to win this, and he can reprimand things by becoming both the World Heavyweight Champion and Interwire Champion once Midsummer Massacre comes around.
Flannery McCoy: That would make him a three-time World Champion and a Interwire Champion as well, I’m sure that would be huge for Viz and he wants to capitalize on that while he has the opportunity. It’ll sure be interesting to see the mentality he has walking into this one.
Jake Mercer: Oh brother this guy stinks! He already lost to Andre??? Why try again??? Another loss he’s asking for me thinks.
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff then blasts through the speakers as the camera goes over to show Madison Kaline making her way out. She has a smirk on her face as she raises her arms in the air before then beginning to strut down the ramp and towards the ring as confident as ever in the process and ready to go.)
Stephie Love: Next… from Tampa Bay, Florida… weighing in at 120 pounds… ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH’… MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for Madison after getting a victory over Amber Keys she looks to ride that momentum into getting herself a piece of World Championship gold. I’m sure that’s something she wants heading into the new Season.
Flannery McCoy: But she also has a lot to prove in the process. But knowing her she most definitely has what it takes. It’ll be great to see her go to work tonight against some of EAW’s best in this matchup.
Jake Mercer: OLD! GET OUT OF HERE! None of these guys are contenders for Andre Walker and it SHOWS! The disappointment out of this one, so predictable.
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Metal Gear Rising then plays up to loud boos as Amir Yusuf is then seen making his way out. He looks around before nodding his head, focusing on his three opponents inside the ring before then taking a deep breath. He then begins to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: And lastly… residing in Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 182 pounds… THE IRREPLACEABLE… AMIR YUSUF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for Amir he is looking to bounce back from defeat against Jack Ripley and in doing so found himself in this match. But earlier in the night met an interesting face in the form of newly traded Jay Jerry Johnson who warned him of what would happen if the two of them met.
Flannery McCoy: That will be interesting to see develop, but Amir would surely love to stick it to him by getting a shot at a World Championship. Let’s see how this goes.
Jake Mercer: Don’t even get me started on this guy. Jay would be a better contender than him, he’s just a two pack of MID.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go, your main event of the evening is officially underway! All four of these competitors wage war in hopes of getting the opportunity to face Andre Walker for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship at Midsummer Massacre! And immediately everyone begins to take action! Amir Yusuf immediately drops down and rolls out of the ring, playing it smart instead of taking a bargain by jumping headfirst into the action! Meanwhile, Limmy Monaghan is right out of his corner, CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE HEAD OF MADISON KALINE WHICH SENDS HER BACK INTO HER CORNER! Limmy turns around and immediately looks towards The Visual Prophet, AND LOOKS TO TAKE OUT THE COMPETITION BY RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD- BUT VIZ GOES UNDER AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A FLAPJACK!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy is dropped down while Viz gets back up, ONLY FOR MADISON TO SPRINT OUT OF HER CORNER AND CONNECT WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE KNEE! Viz is dropped down to a kneeling position while Madison turns around, RUNNING FORWARD AND GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD CONNECTING WITH A BULLDOG! Viz is taken down with Madison the only one standing in the ring, but that might not be the case as Amir decides to take advantage and jump on the apron… SLIPPING THROUGH THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A SLINGSHOT FACEBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: BUT MADISON MANAGES TO SIDESTEP OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! Amir lands on his tailbone while Madison turns around and runs the ropes… GOING FOR A KICK TO THE CHEST- BUT AMIR MANAGES TO CATCH IT IN TIME! Amir pushes it out of the way allowing himself to roll back up to his feet, ONLY FOR MADISON TO ATTEMPT A DISCUS LARIAT THIS TIME- But Amir ducks under before waiting for Madison to turn around, STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW!
Stew-O: Madison realizes the trouble she’s in and rolls out of the ring before Amir can inflict any more damage. Amir doesn’t look to pursue instead stepping back towards the center of the ring, BUT IS GRABBED FROM BEHIND BY LIMMY MONAGHAN WHO LIFTS HIM UP INTO A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Limmy spots Madison on the outside and runs to the ropes… GOING FOR A TOPE CON HILO THIS TIME- But Madison rolls into the ring before Limmy can connect with the move, and at the same time Limmy manages to stop himself before he launches over the top rope! Both of them turn around, only for Madison to connect with a European Uppercut to the jaw! Limmy stumbles back while Madison steps forward-
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! THE VISUAL PROPHET SLIPS IN AND GRABS MADISON BEFORE LAUNCHING HER INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX WHICH KNOCKS DOWN LIMMY AS WELL WHO WAS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE! Both Limmy and Madison are taken down while Viz grabs hold of the head of Madison and tugs her back up, POPPING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A SPINEBUSTER FOR GOOD MEASURE! MADISON IS DOWN WHILE VIZ HOOKS THE LEG FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT MADISON MANAGES TO FIND THE POWER IN HER TO KICK OUT BEFORE THE TWO! Limmy is slowly getting back up to his feet but Viz is already up, turning his attention towards him. Viz then grabs him into a front facelock, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND INTO A SUPLEX- But Limmy manages to slip out of his grasp and land behind him! Viz turns around, ONLY TO BE MET WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Limmy isn’t done though turning around and running to the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Viz is down and Limmy looks to keep him down, running to the ropes again… BEFORE GOING FOR A SECOND KNEE DROP-
Stew-O: AMIR COMES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE HIM DOWN! Limmy is taken out while Amir turns around and grabs Viz by the head, THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST FOR GOOD MEASURE TAKING HIM OUT OF THE EQUATION! Amir gets back up to his feet, BUT CAN’T DO ANYTHING AS MADISON RUNS BACK IN AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS AMIR OVER THE TOP ROPE! Amir manages to land on the apron while Madison throws a punch- But before that can connect it’s Amir that manages to block before sending one back! Amir then braces himself, BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD OF MADISON!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MADISON RUNS INTO THE ROPES CAUSING AMIR TO LOOSE HIS BALANCE AND BE SENT TUMBLING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! Madison manages to save herself for a split second but looks to keep the fight going on the outside as she drops down and rolls out before grabbing the head of Amir, AND SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Amir is hurt and Madison looks to take advantage of that grabbing him by the head and pulling him towards her, but before she can do that it’s Amir that manages to throw some punches towards her abdomen to send her backward! This allows Amir to get up and now the two of them are locked in an intense back and forth! Madison! Amir! Madison! Amir! Madison! Amir! Madison! Amir!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY! LIMMY MONAGHAN CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES OUT BOTH OF THEM WITH A MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE! WHAT A MOVE BY LIMMY TO CAPTALIZE AS HE TAKES BOTH MADISON AND AMIR DOWN!
Stew-O: Limmy grabs the head of Madison and rolls her back into the ring, before rolling back in himself and running towards the ropes while Madison gets back up to her feet… LIMMY CONNECTING WITH ‘HOWITZER IMPACT’ TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TAKES MADISON KALINE DOWN AS LIMMY DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT THE VISUAL PROPHET LEAPS IN FOR THE SAVE BY BREAKING UP THE PIN! Viz now turns Limmy onto his back before beginning to absolutely hammer away on him with strikes towards the head in a grounded headlock position! Limmy tries his best to fend the former World Champion off but it’s clear this assault absolutely took him by surprise! Viz ultimately lets go while Limmy tries to get back up to his feet, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT VIZ LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A ELBOW DROP TO THE CHEST! That takes the air out of the lungs of Limmy while Viz turns around and runs to the ropes… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A BIG SPLASH!
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile on the other side of the ring it seems Madison is beginning to recover from the Bicycle Knee Strike courtesy of Limmy Monaghan which took her down- BUT BEFORE SHE CAN ITS AMIR YUSUF ON THE OUTSIDE THAT GRABS HER BY THE LEGS AND PULLS HER OUT OF THE RING! Amir has some unfinished business with the EAW Hall of Famer as he grabs her by the head and begins to send rapid fire punches towards the head of Madison! Madison tries her best to fight back, and manages to break through with a knee strike towards the abdomen which stops Amir in his tracks! Amir stumbles back while Madison approaches, ONLY FOR AMIR TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Madison drops down to a kene while Amir grabs her, LOOKING TO THROW HER SWIFTLY INTO THE RINGPOST FACE FIRST-
Stew-O: BUT MADISON MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND SENDING AMIR INTO THE RINGPOST INSTEAD! The brawl continues but now we shift our attention back towards the ring with Limmy Monaghan and The Visual Prophet still butting heads with one another! Limmy manages to get the upper hand, sending a barrage of forearms towards the face of Viz in hopes of pushing him backward towards the ropes! Viz is backed up into a corner right now while Limmy grabs him by the arm and sends him towards the other side of the ring with an Irish whip… BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A BICYCLE KICK- BUT VIZ MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND HIM! Viz attempts to turn around, BUT IS ONLY MET WITH A BOOT TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! Viz is on one knee now, WHILE LIMMY GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Limmy from there turns around and begins to make his way towards a corner, BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF OF IT AND GOING FOR ANOTHER MOONSAULT THIS TIME DOWN ON TOP OF VIZ- NO! VIZ MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP JUST IN TIME! Limmy has a hard landing as he shoots back up to his feet in agony, WHILE VIZ GETS UP AND SCOOPS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND GOING FOR A ‘PROPHET DRIVER’! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER TO TAKE LIMMY DOWN TO THE CANVAS-
Jake Mercer: BUT BEFORE HE CAN EXECUTE IT’S LIMMY THAT MANAGES TO SEND ELBOWS TOWARDS THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Viz keeps him up in the Fireman’s Carry positions and tries to maintain that in hopes of fully executing the move but right now that’s proving hard to do! But he doesn’t have a choice with Limmy managing to slip out behind him, BEFORE GOING UNDER AND GRABBING HIS LEGS BEFORE TRIPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Viz tries to escape out of it, BUT LIMMY KEEPS A HOLD OF HIS LEGS AND TURNS HIM ONTO HIS BACK BEFORE LOCKING IN A SHARPSHOOTER ATTEMPT! THE SHARPSHOOTER SUBMISSION HOLD IS LOCKED IN!
Stew-O: The hold is cinched in at the dead center of the ring and right now Viz is in a world of hurt being bent like a pretzel by Limmy! Limmy is dropping all of his weight down on the hold, even if Viz doesn’t tap out this is sure to do a whole lot of damage to him in the process! Viz is trying to fight out of it, scratch and claw in hopes of reaching something that can help him but right now he has absolutely nowhere to run! Will Viz give up here, or will he find a way out before it’s too late! Right now Limmy is hoping for the former!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! MADISON OUT OF NOWHERE KNEES LIMMY IN THE FACE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LEG DROP BULLDOG! THE ‘M.O.D.’ CONNECTS TAKING LIMMY DOWN TO THE GROUND AND ALSO RELEASING THE SHARPSHOOTER HOLD WHILE MADISON ROLLS LIMMY ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE PIN! FOR THE WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT AMIR YUSUF FROM OUT OF NOWHERE STEPS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO BREAK UP THE PIN! Madison is down while Amir begins to stomp down on her before grabbing her by the head, AND THROWING HER RIGHT OUT OF THE RING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! Amir now takes advantage by grabbing the arms of Limmy and beginning to drag him near the corner. Amir now turns around and begins to make his way up to the top rope while Limmy is still grounded, what could he be going for right here? Amir balances himself… AMIR GOES FOR A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
(Before Amir can execute the move though… Limmy rolls out of the ring and tumbles down to the ringside area. Amir looks frustrated by this as he begins to slowly descend off of the top turnbuckle and back down to the canvas.)
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! WHILE HE WAS FOCUSED ON LIMMY IT’S VIZ THAT MANAGES TO SLIDE IN AND BRING AMIR UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FROM THE TOP ROPE! AND THE ‘PROPHET DRIVER’ CONNECTS! DREAM VALLEY DRIVER TAKES AMIR DOWN WHILE VIZ ROLLS HIM OVER AND PINS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT FOR THE THREE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Especially in a fatal four way match like this one with such high stakes, you have to be on your toes making sure that all your opponents are accounted for. While Amir might’ve taken advantage of Limmy being down while he had the chance, removing the obstacle of Madison in the process, he forgot to weigh Viz into his calculations as well.
Jake Mercer: Ah what a bunch of malarkey! He’ll be fine, just do the wrestling stuff and if that gets him a win it gets him the win. Easy! No need for some stupid calculations Flannery. Anyway it seems like Viz has made a full recovery and is the only one left standing in the ring, with both Limmy and Madison trying to recover on the outside while Amir is still down on the canvas. Viz looks to take advantage of that, grabbing a hold of Amir and bringing him back up to his feet. Amir is trying to fight back, BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO COUNTER VIZ GRABBING HIM AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR FOR A HUGE SUPLEX!!
Stew-O: Viz then turns around and drops out of the ring to try and mediate the situation on the outside, grabbing Limmy and rolling him into the ring. Viz then heads over to Madison, but before he can do anything Madison steps back and connects with a back elbow to the face which sends her backward! Viz stumbles back but tries to collect himself, but is only met with Madison connecting with a boot towards the abdomen! Madison then wraps her arms around his waist, BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND RAMMING HIM SPINEFIRST INTO THE BARRICADE TO TAKE HIM OUT!
Flannery McCoy: With one taken out and the other two left in the ring, Madison Kaline turns around and enters back into the ring. BUT BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY GET BACK UP AMIR YUSUF MANAGES TO RECOVER AND CONNECT WITH A SLIDING ELBOW! Amir approaches Madison, BUT FROM BEHIND LIMMY GOES FOR A KNEE TO THE HEAD- But Amir manages to sidestep that, BEFORE ATTEMPTING AN ARM DRAG- WAIT! HOW THE HELL DID LIMMY LAND ON HIS FEET! Limmy lands and grabs the arm of Amir, BEFORE WINDING HIM UP AND TAKING HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT!
(Limmy spreads his arms out upon taking Amir out before hyping up the crowd, grabbing Amir and pulling him back up to his feet.)
Jake Mercer: It seems like Limmy isn’t through with Amir just yet, grabbing him and setting him up… FOR A RIPCORD BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! ONE MORE ‘HOWITZER IMPACT’- NO! Amir collapses down while Limmy’s knee meets nothing but air in response! Limmy clearly doesn’t look happy about that but regardless is looking to take advantage of the situation while he has the chance. Limmy brings Amir back up before lifting him up off the ground, FIREMAN’S CARRY-
Stew-O: WAIT! MADISON KALINE LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES DOWN THE TWO OF THEM WITH A CROSSBODY! Once again it’s always a matter of staying on your toes and that’s what Madison just did right there. Madison waits for Limmy to get back up, before beginning to run to the ropes from there… VIZ! THE VISUAL PROPHET SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND LEAVES MADISON FALLING RIGHT INTO A SAMOAN DROP WHICH TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Madison is down while Limmy stumbles back up and approaches Viz while he’s distracted by Madison, ONLY FOR VIZ TO SEE HIM COMING AND LIFT HIM UP INTO A SECOND SAMOAN DROP THIS TIME-
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY ISN’T GOING TO FALL INTO THAT SAME TRAP! Limmy begins to send elbows towards the side of Viz’s head forcing him to drop back down to the canvas! Limmy then approaches Viz, but Viz connects with a forearm strike to the head to create distance between the two! Viz then turns around and runs to the ropes… BEFORE GOING FOR A SHOULDER TACKLE- But Limmy manages to duck under that! Limmy then runs forward towards the ropes while Viz keeps the momentum up and begins to run to the opposite pair of ropes… BEFORE BOTH TAKE ONE ANOTHER DOWN WITH DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES!
Jake Mercer: Both Limmy and Viz are getting back up to their feet right now, using all the strength left in their body to hopefully push through in this matchup and overcome the rest of the Elitists in this match. They’re up at the same time, WHILE VIZ INSTANTLY GOES FOR A ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’! BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE OUT OF NOWHERE TO TAKE OUT LIMMY AND LEAD HIM ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING THE VICTORY!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! LIMMY DUCKS UNDER THAT CAUSING VIZ TO SLIDE INTO A SEATED POSITION BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND LIFTING VIZ UP WITH ABSOLUTELY MONSTROUS STRENGTH… DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH ‘DECAY’! THE ONE-HANDED ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER COMPLETELY TAKES VIZ DOWN TO THE MAT WHILE LIMMY QUICKLY ROLLS VIZ OVER ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO LIMMY BREAKING UP THE PIN! AMIR YUSUF IS BACK IN THIS MATCH AND IN A BIG WAY AS LIMMY IS KNOCKED DOWN AND HE QUICKLY ROLLS HIM OVER TO GO FOR A QUICK PIN ATTEMPT WHILE VIZ AND MADISON ARE STILL LAID OUT ON THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Amir tried, but it wasn’t enough to keep Limmy down. But regardless he has the upperhand and he has to make sure that he keeps that if he wants to get the victory in this one. Amir grabs Limmy and brings him back up to his feet before sending him over to the corner, AMIR THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS FORWARD BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD OF LIMMY!
Stew-O: Amir then throws Limmy down to the ground before Amir turns around and then begins to make his way up to the top rope. He waits for Limmy to get back up to his feet and turn around… BEFORE HE LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A BLOCKBUSTER! Limmy is taken down to the mat but the sheer impact of the move causes Limmy to sit up into a seated position while Amir turns around and runs towards the ropes… BEFORE LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE HEAD WHICH COMPLETELY TAKES LIMMY DOWN-
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Limmy rolls back up to his feet at the same time of Amir, AMIR ATTEMPTS AN ENZUIGIRI- But Limmy manages to duck under, BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TOWARDS THE CHEST! Limmy then jumps over and runs towards the ropes this time… BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE- But Amir manages to move out of the way, BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A JUMPING DDT WHICH SPIKES LIMMY HEADFIRST ONTO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Amir is back up, ONLY TO BE MET WITH MADISON WHO SWOOPS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A SLEEPER SLAM TO TAKE AMIR DOWN TO THE GROUND! Madison isn’t done though as she grabs Amir and begins to tug him back up to his feet, TURNING HIM AROUND AND DROPPING HIM ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A NECKBREAKER! Madison is then back up to her feet before turning around and focusing on Viz who is trying to get up to his feet, BUT VIZ GOES UNDER AND LIFTS MADISON UP OFF HER FEET WITH A BURST OF ENERGY BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Viz then gets back up while Madison slowly follows from behind, ONLY TO BE SCOOPED UP AND LAUNCHED INTO A QUICK BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Madison takes a hard tumble down to the ground while Viz gets back up to his feet once again, leaping up and stomping down onto the face of Madison for good measure! It looks like Viz is going to finish this once and for all while he has the chance, now turning around and beginning to make his way up to the top rope. I think we know what he could possibly be going for here…
Flannery McCoy: VIZ LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR ‘BOW TO THE HEART’! DIVING ELBOW DROP TO TAKE MADISON DOWN FOR GOOD!
Jake Mercer: BUT MADISON MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Madison gets back up while Viz does the same, BUT MADISON IS QUICKER MANAGING TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND TAKE VIZ DOWN WITH A QUICK HURRICANRANA! Madison then runs to the ropes- WAIT! LIMMY ROLLS OUT TO THE OUTSIDE AND GRABS HER BY THE LEGS BEFORE PULLING HER OUT OF THE RING! Limmy then grabs a hold of the head of Madison, BEFORE THROWING MADISON INTO THE BARRICADE! Madison is down while Limmy slides into the ring, focusing his full attention on The Visual Prophet now!
(Limmy falls back against the turnbuckle padding, patting his elbow and waiting in anticipation for Viz to get back up to his feet. It’s clear that this is his chance to finish, especially having Viz right where he wants him. All he has to do left is deliver the killing blow and finally put this match to rest.)
Stew-O: LIMMY RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR ‘BLOODCURDLE’! SWINGING BACK ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE VISUAL PROPHET’S HEAD TO END THIS MATCH AND FACE ANDRE WALKER AT MIDSUMMER MASSACRE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WAIT! THAT’S DR. ANGELO D’ANGELO! THE BELOVED BROTHER IS HERE AND HE JUST SNATCHED THE ANKLE OF LIMMY AND REFUSES TO LET GO! YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW AGGRAVATED LIMMY IS ABOUT THIS! AN INCH AWAY FROM WINNING THE MATCH AND NOW THAT’S ALL THROWN AWAY!
(Limmy tries to kick D’Angelo away, but he instantly lets go of his grip on Limmy upon the referee beginning to take notice. He shouts at D’Angelo while he raises an eyebrow.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: (Off-Mic) A white devil accusing a black man of something he didn’t do?!
(D’Angelo argues with the referee who is trying to maintain order in this situation, meanwhile Limmy steps back and turns around turning his focus back on Viz.)
Jake Mercer: VIZ WITH A LOW BLOW! LIMMY GETS HIT IN HIS MONAGHAN’S AND COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE CANVAS! WHAT A DISGUSTING MANUEVER FROM THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND THE CROWD HATE IT! BUT REGARDLESS OF THAT THIS IS STILL VIZ’S CHANCE TO WIN AND HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNDERHANDED MOVE IF WE’RE GOING TO END UP SEEING A PAIN FOR PRIDE 15 REMATCH ON THE HORIZON!
Stew-O: BUT WAIT! AMIR YUSUF! AMIR FROM BEHIND GRABS VIZ AND THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN! AMIR KNOWS THAT HE TOO CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND WANTS TO DO SO BEFORE VIZ CAN! HE APPROACHES LIMMY AND BEGINS TO DRAG HIM TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING LOOKING TO SET HIM UP FOR SOMETHING WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE TURNS AROUND INTO AN ‘AFTERLIFE’ BY MADISON KALINE! THE CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS COMPLETELY TAKING THE HEAD OFF OF THE SHOULDERS OF AMIR YUSUF! MADISON DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘O Fortuna’ begins to blast through the speakers once again while the crowd gives a mixed reaction in response to what’s happened tonight. Madison Kaline slowly pulls herself up to a kneeling position, nursing her wounds before looking up at the crowd in attendance tonight with the biggest smile on her face. She heaves herself up to her feet before being met by the referee who raises her hand in the air. Madison then turns and begins to make her way up to the top rope, looking to celebrate a momentous victory in the main event here tonight.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner, and NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!! MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow, what a high octane match we’ve just gotten the opportunity to witness. I’ll admit that I’m throughly surprised how this played out, especially with the finish of this match. Limmy was a hair away from winning, but ultimately it was the interference of Dr. Angelo D’Angelo for Viz that caught him offguard with a series of events that led to Madison now having an opportunity to fight for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship against Andre Walker at Midsummer Massacre.
Flannery McCoy: That is sure to be an interesting match, and I can’t wait to see how that’s developed in the coming weeks. Nonetheless, great effort from everyone in this match, I feel like their journey is far from over especially considering this is the start of the Season. But most importantly, congratulations to Madison on her victory!
(The camera gets a shot of the losers in this match ultimately disappointed at the result of this one while Madison rolls out of the ring and begins to make her way over to the backstage area. She turns around and makes a Championship gesture around her waist towards camera and that’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to completely fade to black from there.)
