(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty opens with a recap of Poor Unfortunate Souls last week: Soul Food Sunday kicks off the show welcoming Serena Bennett to their ranks before The Ice Aces come out and challenge them to a match at Rise of The Resistance the following week which they accept. Milli Banks gets a win over Caroline. The Off-Brand Amphetamines cut a promo which is interrupted by Madison Kaline who offers them a Brand Warfare spot which they accept. Amir Yusuf gets the win over Jay Jerry Johnson. Andre Walker cuts a promo talking about what’s next before being interrupted by Amir Yusuf as the two of them agree to a Championship match in the foreseeable future. Bronson Daniels beats out Ronan Malosi. Soul Food Sunday talks it out with one another and irons out some issues before Tyrone Montgomery comes in to tell Serena her plane is ready to leave. Limmy Monaghan has an interview talking about The Visual Prophet and saying he’ll reveal his Anarchy in The Arena teammates soon. Serenity Valdez retains her Specialists Championship against Diamond Dixon in a submission match. Kassidy Heart comes out and calls out Serena Bennett before Tyrone comes out to tell her that Serena isn’t there and instead offers a match between the two which Kassidy marks for Territorial Invasion. Then in the main event, Joso wins the Interwire Championship over Andre Walker and Ruler to end the show and the recap.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then goes from the recap to the stage, where instead of the regular intro being played with the theatrics and whatnot, ‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer is heard playing up through the PA system. The camera then begins to focus on Andre Walker who is seen making his way out to the stage with his advocate Albert Hitchman following with the World Heavyweight Championship in hand. Andre is obviously down one Championship this week, but that doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for him as he takes the one he has and raises it into the air. An array of pyro shoots out behind him before he slings the Championship back over his shoulder, taking one look around at the Zurich crowd here tonight before making his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well of course welcome to Friday Night Dynasty, I’m Stew-O alongside Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer. And it seems we’re starting off this show tonight with the World Heavyweight Champion Andre Walker!
Jake Mercer: Man, it’s only been a week but I miss the mouthful of a Championship name. :mjcry: Bring back the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship!!!
Stew-O: Well obviously going back to what Jake was mentioning, a week ago at Poor Unfortunate Souls we saw something that we deemed impossible at this point. In the main event, Joso beat out Ruler and that man right there Andre Walker to break the longest reigning Interwire Championship reign and furthermore win his first Championship here in Elite Answers Wrestling. I’m sure we’re going to hear from him later in the night, but right now it seems like the former Champion has something to say.
Flannery McCoy: We know that earlier in the night, Amir Yusuf challenged him to a future Championship shot at a later date, which Andre accepted. And it seems we know which Championship that will be, and that’s the World Heavyweight. There’s a lot of pressure on that young man’s shoulders, but right now it seems Andre has his sights focused on him and only him, so let’s see what happens.
(Andre stops at the bottom of the ramp and once again looks around before heading over to the steel steps and stepping up onto the apron. He then enters the ring where he takes his World Heavyweight Championship and raises it into the air one more time. He then brings it back down onto his shoulders while Albert is seen heading around the ring and taking a microphone from the timekeeper area before entering back in himself. ‘Leaving Caladan’ then begins to come to a close while Albert takes the microphone and brings it up to his mouth before then speaking.)
Albert Hitchman: August 19th, 2022 was a tragedy in living color. 328 days as your undisputed Interwire Champion, halted in its tracks by some simpleton who was quite simply too big for his britches. Not only did it cease one of the most dominant reigns as Champion in modern-day EAW, but it also marked Andre Walker’s first loss in 2022. So many things lost at Poor Unfortunate Souls, so many… but, at the same time dwelling on the past has never done anyone any good, instead we look at the future and evaluate what’s next in the already historic career of Andre Walker. Some may say this is the beginning of the end, but the reality is this in fact is only the beginning. Because people will focus on the fact that Andre Walker lost the Interwire Championship, but forget the fact that he’s the World Heavyweight Champion as well. They’ll forget the fact that Andre Walker is just in the infancy of his first World Championship run, and just like the rest of his reigns as Champion… this has the potential to be record-breaking.
Albert Hitchman: That, my friends, is scary. Very scary, because that means, quite simply, Andre Walker isn’t even at the height of his career yet and he’s done all of this. Only two years yet on the cusp of becoming one of the most prolific Elitists this company has ever seen. Being in line with the Jordan’s, the Brady’s, the Tyson’s of this very sport, nobody can touch him, nobody. Not even… Amir Yusuf.
(Albert sighs and rubs his temple while Andre holds out his hand to take possession of the microphone. The crowd continues to boo while he adjusts his World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder before taking over and then beginning to speak.)
Andre Walker: Any competitor I’ve faced in a high stakes situation I’ve always brought the best out of. I made Johnny Andrews give 110% before he decided he couldn’t go any further and faded to mediocrity. Chris Elite and Adam Lucas sweat bullets whilst they thought of ways to combat and keep up with me in the King of Elite finals. I pulled Xander Payne out of a ditch and made sure he gave me a reason to care about him at Reckless Wiring. I plucked a jaded and washed-up Scott Diamond out of retirement and pushed him to his physical limit even with the wrinkles and white hairs. The Visual Prophet couldn’t get away with cruise control as he did his entire World Championship reign against me at Pain For Pride. The common trend with all of them is the basis that even at their best, it proved to be insufficient especially against someone like myself. The same goes for Joso and Ruler, even in defeat it took them two tries and one of them couldn’t even take advantage of that. But for the other… I commend him. I give Joso credit, because now he’s proven that he’s more than just clinging onto a participation trophy for relevancy, and something more… thanks to me.
Andre Walker: I’m not challenging them, they’re challenging me. And each and every time there is a bar to be reached, with every single time I step into the ring living proof that I continuously raise that bar and continue wearing the gold standard of this company proudly around my waist. And even with giving everyone I face the benefit of the doubt in some way shape or form, I can’t help but doubt Amir Yusuf just a little bit more than the rest. Sure, former New Breed Champion just as I am, Rookie of The Year just as I was… but unlike myself, that’s where your luck runs dry. Just as I could say for anyone else in this company, I have done what Amir Yusuf has done tenfold. And I find it hard to believe that now, after all this time of wasted opportunities and consistent losses, that he thinks he can fare against me? Surely someone with as much conviction as he could make me believe otherwise, right? So right now, I lay out a formal invitation to Amir Yusuf to speak to the masses. Give me a reason to sweat, better yet, give me a reason to care.
(Andre brings his microphone down and almost instantly, ‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Free Dominguez is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena. The camera then goes from the ring to the stage where Amir Yusuf is seen making his way out with a microphone in hand. He immediately signals to cut his music off before looking toward Andre on the stage, beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring to face him while he brings his microphone up to his mouth and speaks toward him.)
Amir Yusuf: You’re right Andre, I’m not going to sit here and deny it when it’s common knowledge at this point. My luck has indeed run dry, especially considering what it could’ve been looking at my trajectory. By now the possibilities are endless of where I could’ve gone, but surely it’s better than facing Jay Jerry Johnson on a supershow. I’ll stand here and say it, but don’t act like I’ve not been going out of my way to try and mend it. Like I’ve not been trying for months to make a name for myself and give people a reason to care about me. And it’s not like everyone else where the results aren’t evident, because they in fact are. At the very start of the Season, wasn’t I one of the four people that immediately staked their claim to the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship? And as soon as Madison Kaline was over along with the petty Joso and Ruler debacle, who confronted you and put out the challenge next?
Amir Yusuf: I wouldn’t count me out just yet Andre, because I still have so much left in the tank and you have not seen the best of me yet. I know the pressure that is on my shoulders when it comes to an opportunity like this one, and I’m going to make sure that I turn it to diamonds when the time comes around to truly prove myself. I’m going to make sure that point is when I face you for that World Heavyweight Championship. If I have to prove it, make no mistake about it I surely will.
(Amir jumps onto the apron and enters the ring, immediately stepping up to Andre with a scowl on his face. Meanwhile, Andre just smirks and shakes his head before beginning to respond to Amir.)
Andre Walker: How can you be so gullible? You have the opportunity to stand out from the rest of the flock and your first words are proving exactly what I said. Yes, I know you’ve gotten opportunities, but which have you won? I certainly didn’t face Amir Yusuf at Midsummer Massacre. Out of everyone, I didn’t see Amir Yusuf anywhere following that in my title picture. You try to paint this picture of you being the next best thing, and while maybe a year ago that argument would’ve been convincing, knowing everything we know now… I’m just not buying it. You’re notorious for squandering opportunities and not being able to seize the moment because in your eyes they’re unobtainable and just not worth the effort. You had all the potential in your hands and you messed it up and your New Breed Championship reign being cut abruptly short is living proof of that. Maybe there is a reality out there where all those bad habits are down the drain for you, but this is not that one. And I’m telling you right now this is a lose-lose situation for you, so don’t tell me you’re going to give up now are you?
Amir Yusuf: You don’t need to believe me, and I don’t need to give a damn about anything that you’ve said. You played this same exact song and dance against Joso and Ruler at Poor Unfortunate Souls and what happened? You lost, and now where are you at? You should know better than to underestimate me, everyone should, and if you continue to do so that will cost you and the only thing that’ll do is worsen your chances when you face me. I don’t know what excuse you’ll have when I pin you square to the mat, and frankly don’t care. The reality of the whole thing is the fact that I’m going to become World Heavyweight Champion, while you’re left with absolutely nothing and only wondering where it all went wrong. Don’t blame me.
(Andre scoffs before patting Amir on the shoulder while he quickly shakes off.)
Andre Walker: Defending two Championships while you were facing minor league players, there are levels to this game that you have yet to understand. Even in defeat, my point still stands that Joso and Ruler were so accustomed to their benchwarmer status that they thought they could shoot right up to the top and be as good as they were at the bottom. That was not the case with them, and that will not be the case for you. Keep trying though, maybe one day Amir Yusuf can actually be the Elitist he swore himself to be rather than someone who whines when he doesn’t get his way. But today will not be that day…
(‘Leaving Caladan’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena while Andre and Albert push past Amir who is still standing inside the ring looking on as the two of them leave. Andre raises the World Heavyweight Championship one more time while the crowd boos him emphatically, before then beginning to completely make his way toward the backstage area. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to the first commercial break of the night.)
(The camera goes to a commercial for the Showdown Supershow: Dead Men Tell No Tales next week sponsored by Marvel’s She-Hulk.)
(The numbers 6/21/18 with the letter “A” mysteriously flash across the screen before Dynasty comes back on air.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the first match of the night!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘KILLKA (Slowed & Reverb)’ by Ghostface Playa and fkbambam is heard playing up to a mix of cheers and boos. Mirai Natsu is seen making his way out to the stage, bearing a smile on his face while he looks around at the crowd in attendance. He then looks toward the ring, beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Nakano, Japan… weighing in at 225 pounds… ‘THE FUTURE ANSWERS’… MIRAI NATSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘The Dying Song (Time To Sing)’ by Slipknot is then heard blasting through the speakers following that, with Shane Gates being shown making his way out to the stage. The crowd is showering him in thunderous boos but that doesn’t seem to bother him right now, as he looks toward the ring and immediately begins to make his way down the ramp like a man on a mission.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Huntington Beach, California… weighing in at 213 pounds… ‘THE NATURAL BORN KILLER’… SHANE GATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go as our first match of the night is officially underway here folks! Shane Gates and Mirai Natsu begin to circle around the ring, with the two of them looking to start this one off with a collar-and-elbow tie-up! Both of them lock horns and begin to jockey for position, but it’s Shane that begins to push Mirai to the ropes as immediately Mirai raises his arms up and forces a rope break between the two of them from the referee!
Flannery McCoy: Clean break, but it looks like Mirai is talking some trash to Shane whilst they do so. SHANE ISN’T GOING TO TAKE THAT THOUGH AS HE GRABS MIRAI BY THE ARM AND PULLS HIM INTO A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE! Mirai is taken down immediately while Shane mounts on top of him and now begins to rain down some brutal punches toward his face! Lefts and rights clobber Mirai as he struggles to defend himself under all the weight of Shane Gates at the moment! Shane relents though as he gets back up before seizing him by the neck and pulling him up as well, JUST TOSSING HIM INTO THE CORNER AND SENDING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Mirai backs himself into a seated position in the corner, BUT SHANE DOESN’T GIVE HIM ANY ROOM TO BREATHE AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE WITH AUTHORITY! Shane now looking to go for something else it seems as he grabs Mirai by the head and pills him out of the corner… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘DEAD MAN’! INVERTED SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM CONNECTS PLANTING MIRAI DOWN!
Stew-O: SHANE ISN’T DONE THOUGH AS HE SCOOPS MIRAI BACK UP INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT! ‘SUFFER AS ONE’ CONNECTS AS SHANE PINS MIRAI’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘The Dying Song (Time To Sing)’ once again played up as Shane Gates gets back up to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee. Shane snatches his hand away before he raises them up himself, a straight look on his face while the crowd continues to shower him in negativity which he chooses to ignore.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SHANE GATES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: What a showing by Shane Gates here tonight. He proved stepping into this one that he was coming in all business and made quick work of the plucky Mirai Natsu. I’m sure this is going to serve as a precedent for what’s to come soon.
Stew-O: Mirai’s gotta keep his head up and keep pushing, but right now Shane just got the better of him. Nonetheless, congratulations to Shane Gates on the victory here tonight!
(The camera would slowly fades to an unknown spot in the backstage area, where a dimly lit light sets the scene. As the camera zooms in, you begin to see The ‘Revolutionizer’, Ruler, who is just coming off yet another failed opportunity at the Interwire Championship at Poor Unfortunate Souls, is sitting down on a bunch of crates. You can’t tell his emotions, but the way he is holding himself is really telling. He slowly looks up into the camera, before putting his hand on his head.)
Catch: You failed. Once more, you failed. Time and time again you have not been able to get the job done. You have proved that you are nothing.
Ruler: This is truly bull… this is truly unpleasant. It’s unpleasing that ever since I have stepped foot into this company, February of this year, I have been given opportunity after opportunity after opportunity – time and time again I have been given a shot to become a Champion, whether it was the New Breed Championship, or the Interwire Championship and each and every single time I have failed. I failed myself, I failed to live up to my goals, and I am truly sick of it. And last week at Poor Unfortunate Souls was my breaking point. And not just because I lost to Joso of all people. Not just because Joso became Interwire Champion, and was given an opportunity of a lifetime to be in the Anarchy In The Arena match… but because it was another opportunity down to the drain that continued a constant trend of me being railroaded by triple threat scenarios. Joso had to hit me with THE best shot that he got, and of course Andre Walker couldn’t even do a single thing about it and he took too much time to try and break up the cover. Had he actually broken it up, you would be seeing ME as the Interwire Champion. Not Joso, not Andre – ME. But again, because of a stupid triple threat stipulation, I’m not. I’m sick, and I am tired of this always happening to me. I have come so close just to be pushed back so far on multiple occasions since the moment that I have stepped foot into this company, because I am either always put in scenarios where I don’t have a big of a chance of winning, or someone just decides to come and screw everything up and hand me the loss. I wasn’t pinned at Pain For Pride, Joso ruined my moment against Andre a few weeks back, and now this, and each and every time, of course, it is me who suffers.
Ruler: Season 16… it has not gone my way. It has not gone my way, no matter the opportunities I have gotten, because each time it was ruined. Each time I squandered them. I don’t even know myself right now. I had my eyes on the Interwire Championship, and at the end of the day, someone that I absolutely hate the most… Joso… won it, and not me. Joso. The bum who couldn’t even appear at his bookings before he decided to join EAW. I would have already been the Interwire Champion even before Poor Unfortunate Souls if it wasn’t for him in the first place. But… that’s besides the point. The point is, everytime that I am given an opportunity – every time I am given the chance to win a Championship or make it here in Elite Answers Wrestling, I am screwed over, I lose to some controversy that should have even never happened, and because of that, now I am back here. Now I am back at square one. Now I am back questioning what I am supposed to do to make sure that I make this season mine like I said I was going to. Setback after setback, and now I am back to the beginning, wondering what I need to do exactly to make sure that I keep moving forward. What do I need to do to make sure that I get right back on track, and that the next opportunity I get, I don’t get screwed over again. Or I won’t make a fool of myself again. I am back to wondering what I need to do exactly to make sure that the next opportunity I get, I don’t fail again, and I finally become a Champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling. So that’s what I have been thinking. Where do I go from here? What do I do next? What is next for Ruler?
Catch: What is next…
Ruler: …But I might have found a solution.
(Ruler would look firmly into the camera. A vague smile appears across his face, but you can see that the pain that is taking over in his eyes.)
Ruler: For a while now – ever since Pain For Pride, I have been feeling a bit different. I have been feeling like I have been losing myself, and after Poor Unfortunate Souls last week, I have finally found that to quite possibly be true. So what am I supposed to do when I have trapped myself into a corner that looks to be no way of getting out of…? I go back to the beginning. I go back to what I was originally chasing. Leading up to Pain For Pride XV of last season, I rightfully earned myself a New Breed Championship at the event. I rightfully earned myself a match against… let’s just say against someone who I have had a lot of history with outside of this company, in Alex Myers. But then… for no reason whatsoever – without even deserving it, like at all – Aurora Monroe, out of nowhere, got added to the match. Made it a triple threat. And come the show, I lost. Alex Myers retained. They didn’t pin me, no – they pinned Aurora. That was the start of the trend that would haunt me throughout this season as well. And I am tired of it. I am tired of triple threat scenarios, and I am tired of being screwed. So getting this far and ending up penniless has indicated to me that I needed to take a step back and reevaluate everything. The answer lies simply that in order to correct my course and fulfill everything that I’ve set forth this season, then I need to go back to where he started. And I am going to do exactly that. So next week at the Showdown Supershow, Dead Men Tell No Tales, Alex Myers is defending the New Breed Championship against Abel Atami. And it doesn’t matter who wins; Alex could retain the Title, or it could be that bum Abel Atami who walks out of the show as New Breed Champion… it doesn’t matter. I am calling my shot.
Ruler: It doesn’t matter when, it doesn’t matter how, whoever walks out of the event as Champion, I’m next in the line. I am calling dibs. I will right the wrongs that have been constructed in my way time and time again, and I am going to tear my way through everyone. It doesn’t matter who, I am abandoning my present failures, and I am moving backwards towards where it all once started for me, where this trend started, and it is the New Breed Championship. And this time around, I am going to get my fair, rightful one on one shot at the Championship. No more triple threats, no more people to screw me, this is my moment. This is my time. I am going to finally get my crowning achievement, I am going to conquer the challenges that stand in my way once again, and I am going to eliminate anyone who thinks that they can get in my way – anyone who thinks that they can try and stop what I am set out on doing. It isn’t happening this time around. No longer am I going to fail. This is my time now.
Catch: If you fail once again… if you ruin the one last opportunity you could possibly get… you are nothing.
(Ruler would jump off the crates, holding his head as he is trying to shut out the voices in his head. Suddenly the smile that once on his face fades away. He’s emotionless once more. He begins to walk out of frame, but stops for one second, not looking at the camera to say..)
Ruler: This is my resolve.
(And with that, he walks away. The eerie presence of the unknown room is left. Silence fills the room, as the dim light turns into nothing more but pitch black.)
Catch: Ruler’s Resolve.
(And the camera would then fade from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to the arena while ‘Al Sevgilim’ by Semicenk & Funda Arer is playing through the speakers, with Emir Erdogan is seen inside the ring getting ready for his match. At ringside, Stephie Love is seen with an EAW-branded microphone in her hand ready to announce said match with a smile on her face!)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL INTRODUCING FIRST ALREADY IN THE RING, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX POUNDS HE IS….. EEEEEEMMMMIIIIIIRRRRR EEEEERRRDDDOOOOOGGAAAAN!!!
(‘ Al Sevgilim ‘ fades out before immediately being replaced by ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar as the Crowd is split between cheers and boo’s as PJ Hendrix makes his way from Gorilla down the ramp and into the ring. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT, FROM CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED NINETY- FIVE POUNDS HE IS… THE PHANTOM…. P! J! HENDRX!!!!!
Stew-O: PJ Hendrx has been on quite the rise since he arrived on the scene in EAW. Each and every single week he’s out there he gets better and it’s easy to see.
Eve: I couldn’t agree more. PJ Hendrx has been nothing short of impressive since debuting in EAW but tonight he’s going to have his hands full trying to deal with the monstrous Emir Erodgan who’s also been nothing but amazing in his own right!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO AS EMIR ERODGAN WASTES ABSOLUTELY NO TIME GRABBING PJ HENDRX BY THE COLLAR AND TOSSING HIM TO THE CANVAS BELOW! PJ HENDRX IS AT A SEVERE DISADVANTAGE JUST BY THE SIZE AND STRENGTH OF THIS MAN EMIR ERODGAN WHO IMMEDIATELY RUSHES THE SMALLER HENDRX AND ATTEMPTS TO FLATTEN HIM WITH A RUNNING ELBOW DROP–
Eve: BUT PJ HENDRX QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND EMIR JUST BARELY MISSES! YOU CAN TELL THAT IMPACT HURT HIM AS HE BEGINS TO FAVOR HIS ELBOW– BUT HE FINALLY MAKES IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION BACK TO PJ HENDRX — THUMB TO THE EYE! PJ HENDRX WITH A QUICK THUMB TO THE EYE I DON’T EVEN THINK THE REFEREE SAW IT BUT NONETHELESS, PJ HAS BLINDED EMIR, AND BEFORE EMIR CAN EVEN REACT PJ LIFTS HIM UP IN THE REVERSE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION— HURRICANE!! HURRICANE CONNECTS THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS ONTO EMIR ERODGAN!
Jake Mercer: PJ JUST LAID EMIR ERODGAN OUT BUT INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE PIN HE’S GOING… OUTSIDE THE RING ONTO THE APRON? WHAT IS THIS KID DOING? HE HAS THE MATCH WON GO FOR THE PIN AND TAKE THE VICTORY!!
Stew-O: No, I think PJ’s trying to add insult to injury! He’s stalking Emir Erodgan from the apron, waiting for him to get up and get to his feet. MEANWHILE, EMIR IS IN THE RING STIRRING BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO HIS FEET— HE’S GOT A KNEE ON THE GROUND TO KEEP HIS BALANCE— BUT HE FINALLY MAKES IT UP! EMIR GETS UP AND TURNS AROUND AND AS SOON AS HE DOES PJ LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE— PIERCE OF AFFLICTION! PIERCE OF AFFLICTIONS CONNECTS! PJ GOT ABSOLUTELY ALL OF THAT SPRINGBOARD SPEAR AND NOW HE RUSHES TO HOOK THE LEG!
ONE!!!!!
TWOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘ DNA ‘ by Kendrick Lamar begins to fill the arena as the crowd cheers as PJ Hendrx get’s his hand raised by the referee before he starts celebrating in the middle of the ring. )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. THE PHANTOM…P!!!!! J!!!!!!!!! HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow. I’m at a loss for words, I knew PJ Hendrx was good but what he just went and did tonight was proof that he’s not even nearing his fullest potential! The sky is honestly the limit for this kid, amazing victory tonight.
Eve: PJ Hendrx just put everyone on notice here tonight. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone put away another elitist like that. Absolutely dominating performance here tonight.
( The camera pans back to PJ Hendrx atop the turnbuckle celebrating with the crowd one last time before fading elsewhere. )
(Friday Night Dynasty returns from commercial break to the gorilla position area of the Swiss Life 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: Welcome back EAW Universe, I am of course your backstage correspondent here, Micheal Belfort, and tonight I have a guest here with me coming off the aftermath of Poor Unfortunate Souls; and whilst she could not pick up a win in her matchup against Milli Banks she is ready to look into the future; please welcome, Caroline!
(The crowd responds vocally with a wave of cheers as Caroline walks into the camera view, a weak smile on her face as she is clearly trying to keep some optimism regardless of the situation as she joins Micheal Belfort, who offers her a big grin.)
Micheal Belfort: Welcome Caroline, glad you can join me! Now I know you hold that smile, but your usual glow is clearly faded. How has that loss you took to Milli Banks last week impacted you personally?
( Micheal Belfort asks as he leans the microphone to Caroline, who brightens her smile ever so slightly as she clears her throat. )
Caroline: Well Micheal, I usually try to look at things with a positive outreach; ya know, Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, all that wonderful jazz – It’s what I’ve been taught, it’s what I know, it’s what I will live by but it’s just… It’s hard to be happy sometimes you know? In terms of losing to Milli Banks, it’s not that truly which I am upset about – it’s the trajectory of my career right now, because by the looks of it; week by week, loss by loss, I keep getting the feeling that if I keep the pace going I won’t exactly be here for that long, ya know? I don’t want to be at the bottom of the card, I want ‘Sweet’ Caroline to be a household name and in doing so something needs to change; I have to get better, I have to do what I do at a higher level! I ended Season 15 losing to Dr. Bethany Blue, and I’m beginning this Season’s first big Supershow for Dynasty losing to Milli Banks – something needs to give.
Caroline: It feels like I haven’t changed as an Elitist and it hurts knowing that I have put in the work and effort to make a movement for myself, and yet I have got nothing in return; but as I said, we need to move from this point, I need to shoot the trajectory that I currently have and flip it on its head, sending myself to the move for bigger and better – THAT’S what I want; No, that’s what I NEED. Maybe the enough I was giving wasn’t enough, maybe I have to push even harder – whether that’s the case, I’m going to try to anyways, I’m thinking outside of the box here; I’m going through every possible avenue of change to make myself the best possible Caroline I can be! I want to be myself, nobody else; because no matter what, I am already the best Caroline out there and nobody can take that from me. I said it before and I’ll say it again, I came here to persevere and thrive, and I won’t fail myself and all of the people that support me now – I’m too far deep! When I prove that I can be the Elitist everyone wants to support, my EAW Impact will be bigger than ever; sure I couldn’t do it when I first landed on the scene but there’s no time like the present to change past mistakes!
Caroline: I don’t want to continue standing here weekly, giving speeches about how I’ll bounce back – I want to let my actions do the talking! I’ll admit I’m feeling like I’m at rock bottom but guess what?! There’s no place to go but up from here and the sky is indeed the limit. I can’t promise instant change, it might be something that comes little by little; but what I can promise is that from here on out I will be coming here with not 80%, not 90%, not even 100% – but I will come here giving it my 110% worth of efforts to be a role model to you all, because that’s the Elitist I want to be! A hero and a winner, two words I want next to my name right beside, ‘Sweet’! I’ll give you something to have faith in , feel free to take everything I say with a raised eyebrow; hold a grain of salt by my words,, it’s understandable – but keep your eye on me because soon enough I’ll put my money where my mouth is and prove exactly why I deserve to still be here! I promise you all that, and I try not to tell a lie!
( Caroline says with her smile growing with optimism as Micheal looks on to her with a smile.)
Micheal Belfort: Well I’m glad to see the optimism sap right back into you, Caroline! Glad to see that determination back into your eyes, and a clear message to the world including the backstage Elitist watching this to make sure they don’t look past you anymore! I am very excited to see what you do in the future.
Caroline: Thanks Michael, just like everyone else, I will give you something to cheer for!
(Caroline says, sharing one last glance with Micheal before walking off as the last shot shows Michael Belfort looking off to where Caroline walked off as the screen faded out.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then goes to a brief commercial break before coming back to show Michael Belfort once again standing by with a smile.)
Michael Belfort: Bold words by Caroline before the break, but right now we’re going to see the other side of her Poor Unfortunate Souls match right here. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… Milli Banks.
(Milli Banks is seen standing next to Michael with a smirk on her face as Michael continues on from there.)
Michael Belfort: As we know we saw you beat Caroline last week, I just wanted to get your thoughts on the entire thing.
Milli Banks: Well, you know, it was real simple, Michael. I did what needed to be done. Period. Caroline wanted to be all up in my grill and cause a mess for herself, and guess what? A mess is certainly what she got. Babygirl could’ve left me alone and bothered someone else, but she didn’t, so I had to clear her. I ain’t even gonna front, she was a little cute, you know? Tried to fight back and all of that, but I told her that I was one step ahead of her. All she did was make me look good, and now I get to move on and continue to be on track to becoming one of the greatest Elitists to ever step foot inside of an EAW ring. So, thank you, Caroline! You helped me give people material to show why I’ll always be better than them.
Michael Belfort: I think most people would consider Caroline to be a stellar Elitist, just like you. Of course, people are still saying that maybe you took things a little too far. After all, Caroline sought to apologize to you for any transgressions she might’ve caused.
Milli Banks: Oh loooorrrd, here we go again. Look, Michael, I’m gonna set the record straight here: y’all aren’t gonna paint me out to be the crazy, angry black woman here, m’kay? Like I said many times already if homegirl was really a straight G with me, she would’ve hit me up right away instead of waiting a whole week to come to me again. But she didn’t. At that point, I moved on and really wasn’t trying to hear what she had to say. It didn’t matter to me! Besides, I’m not here to be all buddy-buddy with nobody here. I got my crew already. My fam are the only people that need to be holding me down. So, the goal here isn’t to be holding hands with nobody here in EAW. It’s all about business for me.
Milli Banks: Truthfully, I don’t know, but what I do know is that it’s going to be a huge step that’s gonna help elevate me from facing people who aren’t at my level to people that I can actually hang with. Yeah, I might’ve lost to a big name in Ruler, but let’s not act like I wasn’t giving him that work. Since then, I’ve grown and shown that I can improve each and every week. At this rate, I’m not going to be seen as someone that is only all about potential. That potential is going to be realized.
(Suddenly, steps can be heard approaching as Milli stops in her tracks noticing who is in front of her, the person who steps into the frame turns out to be Dynasty GM, Tyrone Montgomery who has a big smile on his face and is approaching Milli clapping)
Tyrone Montgomery: Milli, congratulations on the win. Truly! You’ve been standing out as one of the must-see upcoming faces here on Dynasty and you better believe that it has not been lost on some very important people here in EAW including myself. Your win over Caroline impressed a lot of people, especially me.
Milli Banks: I’m glad to hear that and I’m happy to know my hard work is paying off forreal. I’m here to do whatever it takes to stand out and make it to the top and if it means running through chicks like Caroline in the process then I’m game for it.
Tyrone Montgomery: That’s the spirit! I’m going to just be honest here. When I look at you, I see dollar signs. I see billboards, commercials, cereal boxes, red carpets, the whole nine! And you know I have the resources to press the button and make it all happen. BUT I want to continue seeing more out of you and seeing you pick up these wins. I have the perfect opportunity for you to do just that.
Milli Banks: Well I’m all ears.
Tyrone Montgomery: Perfect. At Territorial Invasion, there will be a New Breed Showcase match featuring three standouts from each brand. More information will be announced at a later date, but as for the right now, I am offering you the opportunity to be Dynasty’s representative as you take on somebody from Showdown and Voltage. So what do you say?
Milli Banks: I don’t even have to think about it. I’m all in. This was the opportunity I’ve been waiting for and you better believe I’m taking it and running with it. I don’t care who the other brands pick, I want all the smoke.
(Tyrone and Milli shake hands to make it official as Dynasty fades elsewhere)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH! And it is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Unbreakable’ by Firefight begins to play throughout the arena to a hugely positive reaction and warm welcome by the audience, as Kylie Grace would make her way through the curtain and onto the stage. She makes her way down the ramp, we ‘Unbreakable’ would then be replaced by ‘W-B-X ～W-Boiled Extreme～’ by Aya Kamiki [Feat. TAKUYA], as Haruka Kashimashi would make her presence felt, joining Kylie Grace as they would then enter the ring and go to their corner)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from San Diego, California… weighing in at 125 pounds… KYLIE GRACE!!!! And her tag team partner, from Sapporo, Hokkaido… weighing in at 128 pounds… she is The ‘Prodigious Valkyrie’…. HARUKA KASHIMASHI!!!!!
Stew-O: Kylie Grace and Haruka Kashimashi are coming from the Voltage brand here tonight, as they go up against the former EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, Off-Brand Amphetamines! And you know that these two are going to head into this match with something to prove, and they might just do that.
(‘W-B-X ～W-Boiled Extreme～’ would then fade away, as it would be replaced by ‘People are Strange’ by The Dead South, a negative reaction pouring down as the Off-Brand Amphetamines, Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane along with Trixie Stane make their presence felt as they walk onto the stage. They both look ruthless, as they make their way down the ramp, and enter the ring, going to their corner.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… weighing in at a combined weight of 476 pounds… accompanied to the ring by Trixie Stane… Kirk Redwood, Solomon Stane!!! OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile for Kirk and Solomon, it is all about getting back on track. Since losing the Unified Tag Team Championships to The Prescription, these two have seemingly gotten lost in the mix, but last week at Poor Unfortunate Souls, Madison Kaline gave them a spot on the Brand Warfare Dynasty team in which they accepted! Now in this match, these two look to get back on track by sending a message to Voltage!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Kirk Redwood and Kylie Grace look to start this match, as Kylie slowly approaches Kirk, and it looks like she is going to go at this carefully… WOAH! Kirk Redwood ain’t having any of that and he just clocked Kylie right in the mouth! Kylie falls down to the mat, and now Kirk is just starting an onslaught this early on! Rights and lefts! Kylie can’t protect herself here as Kirk Redwood is acting ruthless in the opening bell!
Flannery McCoy: Kylie Grace is taken completely off guard as Kirk Redwood drags her back up to her feet by the hair, before clobbering her with that uppercut! Kylie is staggering as Kirk now knees her right in the gut, and connects with a forearm smash! Kylie falls back down to a knee, but this time around, Redwood picks her right back up, before locking her wrist… and he irish whips her into his corner with force! That impact drops Kylie Grace, but Kirk Redwood holds her up, as he tags Solomon Stane into this match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Solomon enters the match… and he immediately catches Kylie with a forearm smash! Off-Brand Amphetamines have been in control of this match since the opening bell, and Kylie can’t even defend herself right now. Solomon drags Kylie back to the middle of the ring, before picking her up to her feet… and Kylie connects with a right hand! Solomon is dazed, and Kylie connects with yet another right hand! She now runs the ropes, and she caughts Solomon Stane with a low dropkick to the knee! That drops Stane down to a knee… and now Kylie grabs him, and connects with a DDT, planting him down to the mat!
Stew-O: Kylie Grace is able to fight back for the first time in this match, but it didn’t keep Solomon Stane down for long as he is already back up to his feet, and Kylie didn’t even notice it! Kylie gets up as well, and there’s Solomon who is running off the ropes for a big boot, but Kylie ducks it! But Solomon doesn’t let her get away and connects with a stiff chop! Solomon is taking offense right back, as he connects with yet another chop!
Flannery McCoy: Kylie Grace has been struggling here despite Haruka cheering her on from their corner, as Solomon now irish whips Kylie into the ropes… but wait! Kylie held onto them! And Haruka quickly tags in without Solomon noticing!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Solomon Stane didn’t even notice that the tag was made, and now he runs straight at Kylie Grace… but Kylie moves out of the way and she sends Solomon tumbling to the outside of the ring… and Haruka jumps off the apron and connects with a high knee to Solomon! But look, now Kirk Redwood is getting into the ring, and he runs at Kylie… but Haruka quickly dives into the ring, and she is the one to push Kylie out of the way this time around as Kirk goes tumbling to the outside with Solomon!
Stew-O: Kylie Grace and Haruka Kashimashi just cleaned house! Inside of a Dynasty ring against Dynasty Elitists! Kirk and Solomon are both getting back up to their feet, while Haruka and Kylie look at each other in the middle of the ring, before nodding at each other… AND THEY RUN OFF THE ROPES, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE SUICIDE DIVE TAKING THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES OUT! Haruka quickly grabs the legal man in Solomon now as Kylie goes back up to the apron, and she throws him in before following him, and goes into the first cover for the win!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But a kickout by Solomon Stane, and you can tell that Haruka Kashimashi is NOT happy about it! But she keeps her calm, as she rolls over to her corner, and she tags Kylie Grace back into the match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: AND KYLIE DIVES RIGHT IN AND KNEES A GROUNDED SOLOMON STANE RIGHT IN THE FACE! Kylie is taking advantage of the opportunity this time around, and now she is beating down on Stane! Kylie is able to barely pick Solomon up to her feet… and a roundhouse kick! How did she even reach that?! And now she jumps up onto the middle rope… and she jumps onto Solomon and takes him down with a hurricanrana! Kylie is on fire now as she hypes up the crowd and you can hear that they are behind her, even if she is on enemy’s turf!
Stew-O: Solomon Stane is able to get back up to his feet, but Kylie Grace jumps right back at him and she is back on the attack! Those lefts and rights overwhelming him into the corner, as he can’t even defend himself, but I don’t think that Kylie noticed the corner she was in, as Kirk Redwood reaches over and he tags himself in, and I don’t think that Kylie noticed it as she is too busy attacking Solomon!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT NOW SHE DOES AS KIRK REDWOOD CAUGHT KYLIE GRACE WITH A STIFF RIGHT HAND RIGHT TO THE FACE! That was completely unexpected, and Kylie backs away, as it looks like the referee is going to have to check on her, as Kirk Redwood would now enter the ring, Solomon exiting. Kylie is backed into a corner as Kirk looks to go at her, but it seems that the referee is keeping Kirk back! It looks like Kylie may be hurt, as the referee receives a towel from the timekeeper’s area, and puts it up to Kylie’s face.
(As the referee moves the towel away from Kylie’s face, a blood stain can be seen, but Kylie looks to be ready to go as she gives the referee the okay, her nose still looking a bit bloody.)
Jake Mercer: It seems that the right hand to the nose of Kylie Grace is what did it as her nose seemed to be messed up, but it looks that she is ready to go back, as the referee moves out of the way, and he calls for the match to continue. It’s unfortunate for stuff like this to happen, but it seems that Kylie Grace is going to continue… AND SHE LEAPS RIGHT AT KIRK AND CATCHES HIM WITH A DROPKICK! Kirk was caught off guard, and now Kylie is connecting with huge lefts and rights!
Stew-O: It’s almost like seeing her blood has shifted Kylie Grace into next gear, as now she grabs Kirk Redwood and brings him up to his feet, before connecting with a right hand of her own!! That is what caused her nose to get messed up and now she is giving Kirk some payback, before connecting with an uppercut! Kylie now runs the ropes… and she takes Kirk out with a spinning heel kick! Spinning heel kick hits the mark as Kylie backs into the ropes with a smile on her face!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood slowly makes it back up to his feet, and Kylie Grace realizes this as she runs straight at him!! BUT KIRK CATCHES HER WITH A HEADBUTT! Kylie just falls flat and down to her knees, as Kirk looks down at her, and a knee right to the face! Kylie’s offense is cut off once more, and now Kirk drags her back to his corner, and he tags Solomon Stane back into the match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Solomon Stane enters the ring as Kirk Redwood now pulls Kylie Grace out of the corner, and he throws her into the arms of Solomon, who grabs Kylie, and lifts her up… and he throws her with a butterfly suplex! AND KIRK CATCHES KYLIE WITH A SPEAR! ‘Fred Claus’s Sleigh’!!! The butterfly suplex/spear combination, and now Solomon Stane covers Kylie!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: WAIT HARUKA KASHIMASHI ENTERS THE RING, AND SHE IS TRYING TO BREAK UP THE PINFALL, BUT KIRK REDWOOD IS KEEPING HER AT BAY!
TWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HARUKA IS TRYING HER HARDEST, BUT KIRK IS KEEPING HER AT BAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! BUT HARUKA GRABS KIRK AROUND THE WAIST, AND SHE LIFTS HIM UP!!!
TTTHHHHHHRRR-
Jake Mercer: HARUKA KASHIMASHI DROPS KIRK REDWOOD RIGHT ONTO HIS OWN PARTNER AND THAT CAUSES THE PIN TO BE BROKEN UP! Kylie might have been out of it right there, but Haruka is able to save the match for them as Solomon rolls off of Kylie, and now Haruka is dragging a beaten up Kylie Grace back to their corner, as she exits onto the ring, and she tags herself into the match!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Haruka Kashimashi enters the match as she dives into the ring… AND SHE CATCHES KIRK REDWOOD WITH A SUPERKICK THAT SENDS HIM OUT OF THE RING! And now she focuses on the legal man in Solomon Stane, as Solomon gets up to his knees… AND HARUKA CATCHES HIM WITH A SUPERKICK AS WELL! Haruka is on a roll as she now connects with a huge standing shooting star press right onto Solomon! Solomon Stane is in a lot of trouble here as a fire is lit inside of Haruka Kashimashi right now.
Flannery McCoy: Solomon is trying to get back up, but Haruka is just keeping on the attack, as she picks him back up to his feet, and connects with a roundhouse kick! And then another one! Solomon is staggering as he falls into the ropes, and Haruka connects with a huge dropkick while he leans against the ropes, sending him down to his knees. Haruka now runs the ropes, and as Solomon tries to get back up to his feet, he is immediately caught as Haruka connects with a swinging neck breaker!
Jake Mercer: You can tell that Solomon Stane is dazed, and Kirk Redwood still hasn’t made it back on the apron. And Haruka noticed that! Solomon slowly makes it back up to his knees, but Haruka is backing up! Solomon is on his knees, and Haruka runs the ropes… AND BAM! HARUKA KASHIMASHI CONNECTS WITH SUNKISSED RHODONITE! PENALTY KICK! SOLOMON LOOKS TO BE OUT OF IT, AND HARUKA DROPS INTO THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHHRRR-
Stew-O: KIRK REDWOOD CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HE IS ABLE TO BREAK UP THE PIN! AND NOW HE’S JUST BEATING DOWN ON HARUKA! Haruka Kashimashi thought that she had won that match for herself and Kylie Grace, but it wasn’t meant to be, and now Kirk is beating the hell out of her! Kirk moves onto the apron, as Solomon crawls around, before getting back up to his feet, and he is able to back into his corner and tag in Kirk Redwood!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And now Kirk Redwood runs right at Haruka… HARUKA JUST DROPPED HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! KIRK FALLS TO HIS KNEES! Haruka runs the ropes, and Kirk is groggy… AND ANOTHER SUNKISSED RHODONITE THIS TIME TO KIRK! KIRK IS LAID OUT! Kirk is down and out, but Haruka crawls over to Kylie Grace, and she tags her in!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Kylie Grace dives into the ring, and Haruka runs to the opposite corner and she takes out Solomon Stane! Kylie now picks Kirk up to his feet, and she slaps him right across the face! KIRK DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY- BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER AS KYLIE DROPS HIM WITH POWER PUNCH! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS AND KIRK FALLS! All the while Haruka had just dropped Solomon Stane on the outside of the ring! These two may actually beat the former Unified Tag Team Champions!
(Kylie Grace would pull the deadweight of Kirk Redwood over to the corner, laid flat as she would then make it up to the top rope. Meanwhile Haruka positions Solomon on the outside of the ring, and she climbs up to the top rope as well on the opposite corner.)
Stew-O: What are these two about to do?!?! They have both Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood positioned, and this does not look good!
(Haruka would look towards Kylie and nod, before looking back at a downed Solomon…)
Flannery McCoy: PRODIGIOUS LANDING! PRODIGIOUS LANDING! PHOENIX SPLASH BY HARUKA KASHIMASHI!!!
…
Jake Mercer: :damn: SOLOMON STANE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND HARUKA JUST CRASHED ONTO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! WHAT A ROUGH LANDING AND YET KYLIE GRACE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED!
(Kylie looks nervous on the top rope, but she then begins to count down…)
Kylie Grace: (off-mic) One… Two…
(But suddenly, Solomon Stane would make it back up to his feet and Kylie Grace catches it. Immediately, Kylie panics, and…)
Kylie Grace: (off-mic) THREE!!!
Stew-O: KYLIE GRACE TAKES THE LEAP OF FAITH! SHE FLIES INTO THE AIR, AND LOOKS FOR FALL FROM GRACE! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
…
Jake Mercer: WAIT KIRK REDWOOD SPRINGS UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE QUICKLY SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AS KYLIE GRACE IS IN MIDAIR!!!
…
Flannery McCoy: .50 CAL!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH CAUGHT KYLIE GRACE IN MIDAIR! IT’S OVER! IT’S DONE! KYLIE IS OUT OF IT, AND KIRK CRUMBLES ONTO HER, AND INTO A PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHHRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… KIRK REDWOOD, SOLOMON STANE… OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!!!
(‘People are Strange’ would begin to play throughout the arena once more to a hugely negative reaction, as Solomon Stane would make his way into the ring, and help Kirk Redwood up to his feet as their arms got raised by the referee.)
Flannery McCoy: WOW! What a match! Haruka Kashimashi and Kylie Grace both came into this match with something to prove, and they definitely did exactly that… but in the end it just wasn’t enough, as Kirk and Solomon are barely able to escape this match with the win!
Stew-O: Off-Brand Amphetamines proved just how good and valuable they are to the Brand Warfare Dynasty team here tonight, and this is seemingly only the beginning!
(Kirk and Solomon would continue to celebrate their victory, as Kylie can be seen sitting disappointed in the corner, as the camera would fade from there.)
(A commercial is shown for the Voltage Supershow: Rise of The Resistance, coming to you live this Sunday sponsored by Disney’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.)
(Dynasty fades to the stage, and ‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Rufus and Chaka Khan hits, which causes loud boos to come from the crowd. Before long, the three Elitists making up Soul Food Sunday as well as Dr. Angelo D’Angelo begin to walk out onto the stage. The Visual Prophet, Serena Bennett, Astraea Jordan and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo all hold microphones in their hands as they begin walking down towards the ring.)
Stew-O: Soul Food Sunday is out here, and they all seem to have something to say before their matches at Rise of the Resistance and Territorial Invasion! This group has already made a huge impact but with that they’ve made a lot of enemies. In just two days, they’ll be facing three of them!
Jake Mercer: Yep, and the Ice Aces made a huge mistake crossing Soul Food Sunday! We’re about to see these three work as a trio for the first time! It’s such a big event I’m not so sure we’ll be able to handle it. We might need to split their match with the Ice Aces into two nights just so we have enough time to process-
Flannery McCoy: We get it, Jake. I’m not so sure what exactly these three plan to say tonight, but we clearly have a pretty good idea of who this is all about.
(Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Soul Food Sunday finally enter the ring, and before long the Visual Prophet begins to speak.)
Visual Prophet: Two days. Just two days remain before the world gets to be graced by Soul Food Sunday when for the first time ever we step into that ring at full strength as a trio. Two days remain before we beat the ever-living sh*t out of the wannabe-asian cac and her swinger partners. Two days before we arrive and make a statement that the world will not soon forget. Months ago, Angelo and I devised a plan to build a team, a superteam even– and we would run roughshot over this company and take what’s rightfully ours by will or by force. Astraea Jordan was the first person to come alongside and she has fit like a glove.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: No OJ!
Visual Prophet: And not only that, but she has leveled her game up something serious since joining. We knew the potential this young lady possessed and we wanted to do whatever we could to help her bring that out while at the same time also benefitting off of what she brought to tha table as the talented individual we know her to be. In doing that, we’ve managed to become the top tag team in all of EAW, and that’s without a set of tag titles.
Astraea Jordan: That’s right, you see timing is everything, and sooner than later we will have gold around our waists whether that be individually or as a team, but what’s important right now is setting thefoundation for that and establishing ourselves as THE team to beat here, and we’ve done just that. Just like I’ve been establishing myself as THE woman here in EAW, a lot of credit is due to what I’ve been able to build with Angelo and Viz, but just like he said I done brought just as much to the table if not more. Cuz don’t get it twisted, Astraea Jordan isn’t some charity case who needed to be picked up and carried by some more established act and dragged to relevance like say uhhh… Sheridan with Dr. Bethany. I pull my own weight and with that in mind, we have been able to make this team THE centerpiece of Dynasty. While Sheridan is out doing side missions in crappy hole in the wall MMA companies and getting her clock cleaned by Serena’s former Philadelphia co-worker in independent promotions disgracing that title she holds, I’ve been EAW through and through and I’ve been carrying this thing on my back.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: FACT! We know what this queen brings to the table and that is exactly why I never let my foot off the gas when it came to scouting her.
Astraea Jordan: Right, and I’m glad you were the person to see my worth Angelo, because at the end of the day I am the topic of conversation, the one who put the culture on my back when there was nobody else doing it, and the one who’s going to be on top when it’s all said and done. I bring something to the table that none of these other chicks do. That’s why it did kind of confuse me when you tried to bring Aurora into the fold knowing she brings nothing but a cheap imitation of Astraea Jordan in a musty grey wig. She could NEVER replace me.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: WOAH WOAH WOAH NOW HOLD ON A SECOND! Replace??? Where? Listen, we are a force to be reckoned with as a two person tag team, but I am trying to build a MOVEMENT. This is for EVERYBODY black unless you’re a coon like SOSA then you don’t have an invite. There’s room at the table for all of us, I promise! Unfortunately she’s been so indoctrinated by the European power structure that she doesn’t even realize she’s only hurting herself by not rocking with us, but what we have is more than enough, I can’t save everybody.
Astraea Jordan: You shouldn’t have been trying to save these bums in the first place. You can’t invite people to the table but they have nothing to bring to it. I’m rooting for everybody that’s black but if you don’t got it you don’t got it, and Aurora baby I’m sure you’re out there listening, you DAMN SURE don’t got it. I made that abundantly clear at Midsummer Massacre no matter how many excuses she wants to make about the circumstances. One thing about me, I don’t like sharing the spotlight with chicks I know I’m better than and that’s why Aurora and I was never gonna work out on one team. I’ll give Serena a pass because she has accomplished a lot and technically she has history with y’all prior to me joining, but I barely trust her as it is. :mjpls:
Serena Bennett: Okay now first of all, you have no reason NOT to trust me. If nothing else, Viz knows that I’m one of the most loyal partners he’s ever had and whatever issue I had in the past with this company had nothing to do with him. As far as me and you go I already told you that I was willing to put everything in the past in order to help push this thing even further and prove my loyalty to Soul Food Sundays. This is bigger than either our egos, at the end of the day we are all we got and with us having so many people coming for us at once, it’s best that we get on the same page and stay there. Yes, you alone is more than enough to take this team to the top nobody is arguing that, but with Serena in the mix this goes from a potential thing to a sure thing. I bring a world championship pedigree and like I said before, I can help you get there if you’re willing to listen😊.
(Astraea Jordan can be seen rolling her eyes)
Serena Bennett: Either way it’s about time we drop the petty shit and focus on the task at hand which is Ice Aces at Rise of the Resistence.
Astraea Jordan: Besides the comment about helping me win a world championship, you kinda got a point. Right now we got a lotta opps and the fact of the matter is even though we’re bigger in size now, we still don’t match in numbers. But you know where we outmatch all of them at?
Serena Bennett: In talent.
Astraea Jordan: Exactly, because let’s be honest here… who the hell is worried about some damn Ice Aces?
(The trio alongside Angelo all let out a collective laugh at the thought of what Astraea just implied)
Visual Prophet: Ice Aces, Ice Age, Ice Cube, Ice Spice, Ice Ice Baby, Ice Trae The Gang, I don’t give a sugar honey Iced tea.. Soul Food Sunday in 3!
Serena Bennett: Three wet behind-the-ears rookies who have done absolutely nothing of significance here in their EAW careers thus far and have only existed to be punching bags for far superior competition, give me a damn break. I got a lot more important things to worry about than that Woatage charity case match, but hey at least it makes for great cross-branding opportunities with the show being Star Wars themed. You know, since I just so happened to have secured a Star Wars bag myself, thanks Tyrone🥰. I know the girls in the back are PISSED about that, “look at Serena coming back and already being handed opportunities!”. Well for your information I wasn’t handed anything I just happened to be the best woman for the job. It truly is amazing how much I’m able to accomplish and do it without having to suck the chairman off in order to get it. Some people can’t relate to that.
Visual Prophet: Speaking of some people, allegedly, the world has been buzzing over the past week over some words said by Ryan’s blow-up doll about my beautiful partner Serena, and that ain’t sitting right with me. What about you bae?
Serena Bennett: Well I don’t know where to even start when it comes to that. The fact that this girl decided to come out and call me out to the ring AFTER it was well known that I had left for the night is hilarious in itself. Or the fact that little miss “I don’t do ethers” tried her hardest to put on a Serena Bennett impression for some edge and still fell flat. Honestly, I don’t know what Caccidy’s issue with me has ever been other than the fact that I have just been so good at my job that I excelled at a rate that the other generic broads back on Empire couldn’t keep up with. After all, she should be able to relate. When I was excelling, so was she. Her build from losing Empress of Elite to winning the UWC at the end of that very season was one for the ages but let her tell it and she spent her whole first year being held back and passed over right? No matter how hard she tried to undermine her time on Empire by splitting it to run behind Ahren Fournier, she was a golden girl even if she didn’t want to be and benefitted from that, hell it even came at my own expense in the end. Did I complain though? Nah, I charged it to the game and I came back even stronger for it. She might have won the battle at that point, but I won the war. I guess maybe that’s why my notoriety and success eats at her so badly. If anything I should be the one mad at Kassidy because it was MY rookie year that was derailed at her hands, but I didn’t cry over spilled milk did I? I didn’t go the next three years talking about it in every promo or acting like I was done dirty, I just kept pushing and kept leveling up and even that wasn’t enough because her and many other bitter broads in this company constantly felt slighted by me and how I carried myself.
Serena Bennett: I got called everything from a management favorite despite Kassidy being the one getting penetrated by management every night. I got called a race baiter because I proudly put on for my culture and called people out on their insensitive BS. I never cut corners and I got it all off the strength and out the mud, but it still wasn’t enough. It’s not enough because Serena’s success means that the girls would be insecure about my presence. I refused to ever dim my light in order to make anybody feel comfortable and because of that I was looked at as a threat by the girls in that locker room, Kassidy being the main one. Me being in and out of this company is the only reason you bitches were ever able to even breathe in the first place because lord knows that if I didn’t leave in 2021 Kassidy would have once again gotten overshadowed by me, and left to be an afterthought even in the middle of a manufactured “historic” reign that nobody remembers and the world spent 75% of it wanting it to end. Funny how Serena leaves and then you become the villain and people finally see you for what you’ve actually always been, an overprotected, overrated and insecure bum. I woulda thought the backlash you got for excelling so much as champion over on Showdown would have given you a bit of perspective since that backlash was similar to what I got. You even got the signature Ava wrath that they inevitably direct at any chick doing better than them. Hell, your win at RTR killed the crowd so badly that you could hear a pin drop in the arena just from watching on TV. Far cry from when you were the sentimental favorite going up against my partner over here in the Empress of Elite finals in 2018 huh? Yeah, that’s how fickle people are and how fast they’ll turn on you once you start succeeding despite the fact that they rooted for you in the past. Just because you let that get to your head causing you to fall off and lose marquee matches against bums like Andrea doesn’t mean you have the authority to talk to me the way you did last week. Serena being back doesn’t suddenly mean you’re suddenly no longer the least deserving girl on this roster, you’re STILL that overprivileged dumbass who everybody is tired of seeing.
Serena Bennett: I also find it funny how the bitch with a literal personality disorder is calling ME the mentally fragile one. Listen Karen Heart, you don’t get brownie points because you haven’t left EAW after all of this time when we all know you’re one Mr. DEDEDE read receipt from a mental breakdown and a first class trip to a reunion with your old SCUV buddies. Birds of a feather flock together right? Where are the people you came into the game with? What company are they in again? How about Sienna? Where does she head off to every year when she does her annual disappearing act and nobody says anything about it? Is she in a company at all or does she just come and go as she pleases because she’s every bit of the unreliable and unpredictable head case that you are. You’ve been hanging on by a string but as long as your bAbYcAkE keeps giving you pipe, protection, money and opportunities you wouldn’t have otherwise been able to have, your ass will stay put right where you are. But keep going around rubbing it in everybody’s face about how you never quit EAW, congrats you never had to deal with any of the bullshit that I have because I’m not the one screwing the chairman for protection! No matter how much you brag about not quitting– being an unbearable whiny cunt along the way is any better. Fact of the matter is you aren’t loyal to EAW, you’re only loyal to what DEDEDE and his power, influence, and bank account can do for yo–
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé hits to a huge mixed reaction as an annoyed Kassidy Heart makes her way through the curtain as she has clearly heard enough of Serena’s rant. She stops at the ramp before speaking.)
Kassidy Heart: You know I couldn’t help but come out and hear the garbage you’ve been spewing up close and in personal. I didn’t know if my ears were deceiving me or if you were actually spouting a bunch of nonsense, but considering who you are I’m going to assume it’s the latter.
Serena Bennett: Real cute Kassidy, you had a whole lot to say last week why don’t you keep that same energy now?
Kassidy Heart: Oh trust me there’s plenty more of that energy to come please don’t think anybody is afraid to tell you how much of an insufferable mentally deranged hypocritical scandalous whore you are. I speak on behalf of the EAW locker room when I say you don’t put fear in anybody’s heart, we simply want you to F off and go back to the EAW dumpster you crawled out of. So yeah, I said what I had to say last week and now here I am on Dynasty once again tonight just to make sure I actually catch you in person this time.
Serena Bennett: The words hypocritical and scandalous are hella ironic coming from you. Have you seen a mirror lately little miss backstage politics? You’re one of the most dramatic and disingenuous bitches I’ve ever had the displeasure of coming across and that says a lot looking at some of the women I’ve shared locker rooms with over the years.
Kassidy Heart: Almost as ironic as you claiming in your little promo video earlier that theres a bunch of knockoff yous walking around when you’re the knockoff of another person to begin with. By the way, did you guys share locker rooms in your old company or did she have her own space that you constantly latched onto every week in hopes of being handed opportunities that you’d get and fall flat on your face in? :mjlol2: Imagine thinking you would really come back to EAW and be handed everything on a silver platter, have a pedestal and think things are just back to business and Serena is back on top. This is a new era, an era that has grown and flourished without you and has shown that there is really no need for you. Those girls you call knockoffs I’m gonna assume are black girls who have come into this company with way less nonsense surrounding them and have just done their jobs, but I guess little miss “I’m rooting for everybody black” actually can’t stand to see other black women making their way up the ladder. Now THAT’S ironic. What are your thoughts Astraea?
(Astraea can be seen annoyed and taken aback at Kassidy having the audacity to ask her, and before she gets to respond Serena interjects)
Serena Bennett: Don’t try to drag my partner into this, this is between me and you. Remember? You’re the one who ran to DEDEDE and got him to make this a steel cage match to prevent my partners from interfering? As if I’d ever give you the satisfaction of resorting to help to beat the ever living shit out of you. Why would I be jealous of girls I paved the way for? I hope they all succeed as long as they ain’t on some Aurora shit, but at the end of the day I am the OG and I am the blueprint and the bar that all of these girls, not just black but all across the board aspire to reach. My influence ran strong even in my absence, who have you inspired? Not a damn soul. Because nobody wants to be a lifeless soulless robot who’s whole identity is the man she’s smashing at the moment.
Kassidy Heart: You’re the OG? You paved the way? Isn’t that what Astraea said to you when you faced all those years back? Isn’t that what your mommy/boss/idol said to Astraea when she faced her at KOE 2018? Seems to me like all of you want to take credit for something you didn’t start. The only damn blueprint and road you’ve paved for any girl here to follow is what NOT to do when you make it to the top or find yourself in a position of prominence. If you have to make a comeback to a company after a long time of being blacklisted and disgraced, chances are you aren’t an inspiration to anybody. If you’ve spent the past year in a company you once called a graveyard in the past just to switch up for a paycheck, you aren’t an inspiration to anybody. If you disgrace your entire EAW legacy by going to a lesser place and getting your ass handed to you by lesser talents…. YOU.👏🏻 ARENT.👏🏻 AN.👏🏻 INSPIRATION.👏🏻 TO.👏🏻 ANYBODY.👏🏻 Now you can talk about whatever hypothetical situation you want to conjure up in your deluded and fried brain about what’s keeping me here in EAW or what it would take for me to stoop to your level and get myself blacklisted, but the fact of the matter is I’m living in reality. Everything I am saying is based on facts, not hypotheticals and false assumptions.
Serena Bennett: You want a fact and not a hypothetical? How about the fact that any and everybody you have ever had a close relationship with in this company has disappeared and/or quietly disassociated themselves from you. Hell, even your own husband spends more time having “golf dates” with Bob Chapek than quality time with you these days it seems. Remember when he used to flood the timeline with your ugly photoshoots? Haven’t seen that in a while. Gee, I wonder why. Prolly because you’re a life draining leech who brings nothing of benefit to anybody you come across and just like you dragged them down, you have dragged this company down as the failed face of it and I’m back to restore order and give them their Option A back, the backup plan can now go back to crying about being overlooked in every promo like every other “top” female competitor does when I’m around instead of pretending to be something you’re not. Speaking of your husband though, for somebody who has a whole lot to say about my time in Philadelphia and what I did or didn’t do.. your husband didn’t seem to have a problem with it when he signed off on getting me back in his company.😊 But here’s one more fact for the road: At Territorial Invasion I am going to dog walk the shit out of you and put you in your place in a way that nobody ever has in their life. There is no amount of backstage string pulling and crying that will stop me from turning you into a pack.
Kassidy Heart: My husband brought you back into this company so that he can laugh at you up close and personal in a front row seat to seeing you further embarrass yourself and expose how trash of a competitor you actually are. You serve no purpose other than to get fed to people who are better than you, people like me who will put an end to your facade and send your ass packing quicker than you came back, we all know it’s inevitable. Enjoy the Star Wars checks that you wouldn’t have gotten had you not come back to EAW though, maybe you can use that to invest into more failed companies like Crip-A-Cola until you eventually go bankrupt.
Serena Bennett: Well if that happens there’s always OnlyFans, I’m sure Vizzy would be happy to assist me with that.
Visual Prophet: :mjlit:
Serena Bennett: But you’ve been standing on that ramp for a while now just running your mouth. You tHe mAuLeR right? What’s stopping you from channeling your inner-Super Kass and coming into the ring and seeing me face to face? C’mon babe, put me out of my misery!
(Kassidy begins slowly walking towards the ring as she talks)
Kassidy Heart: Oh Samira, I thought you’d never ask! I hope you don’t think I’m intimidated because it’s three and a half of y’all in the ring and just one of me. I could run in there right now and beat the crap out of each and every one of you, but unfortunately for you I’m not the only person who wants to. I’m never without a plan. 😉
(“No Luv” by 1017 ft. Key Glock blasts throughout the arena as the crowd gives a loud mixed reaction, the tandem of Aurora Monroe and SOSA Henderson known as BULLETSTORM comes marching through the curtain and down the ramp to stand side by side with Kassidy Heart as they have now evened the playing field. Soul Food Sundays stand alongside one another in the ring prepared for the fight, but Kassidy and BULLETSTORM stop at their tracks to smugly posture right before….)
Stew-O: WAIT A SECOND- THE ICE ACES!!!! THE ICE ACES JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND ATTACKED SOUL FOOD SUNDAYS FROM BEHIND!!! AYU MEGUMI THREW SERENA BENNETT SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES, ARIA HIT ASTRAEA JORDAN WITH A NASTY FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND USAGI SENSHI IS GOING AFTER THE VISUAL PROPHET, KNOCKING HIM TO A KNEE!
Jake Mercer: USAGI CONTINUES TO PUNCH AWAY AT THE VISUAL PROPHET, AND VIZ PUNCHES USAGI IN THE MIDSECTION BUT AYU MEGUMI HELPS USAGI BY KICKING VIZ IN THE FACE! SERENA BENNETT PULLS HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER TO HELP FEND THE ICE ACES OFF BUT NOW ARIA COMES IN KICKING SERENA IN THE MIDSECTION! DID KASSIDY AND BULLETSTORM JUST LAY A TRAP FOR SOUL FOOD SUNDAY?? THEY HAVEN’T MOVED FROM THEIR SPOTS, MEANWHILE THE ICE ACES ARE CAPITALIZING OFF OF THE DISTRACTION!
Flannery McCoy: ASTRAEA JORDAN PULLS USAGI SENSHI AWAY FROM THE OTHER TWO BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE CORNER! ASTRAEA AND USAGI BEGIN FIGHTING EACH OTHER AS THEY BOTH TRADE LEFTS AND RIGHTS, AND NOW THE VISUAL PROPHET GETS UP HITTING ARIA WITH A RIGHT HAND! VIZ IS ABLE TO SCOOP ARIA UP NOW-
Stew-O: BUT ARIA SLIPS DOWN BEHIND VIZ AND PUSHES HIM INTO AN EMPTY CORNER, FORCING AYU AND SERENA TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! SERENA BENNETT RUNS IN AND SHE’S ABLE TO BEGIN HITTING AYU WITH A SERIES OF STRIKES BUT ARIA GRABS SERENA, ALLOWING AYU TO RUN IN BEFORE HITTING THE ETHEREAL BLADE!!!
Stew-O: ASTRAEA JORDAN TOSSES USAGI OUT OF THE CORNER, AND THE VISUAL PROPHET TRIES TO CAPITALIZE BUT THE NUMBERS GAME IS TOO MUCH AS ARIA HITS VIZ WITH A FOREARM! ASTRAEA GOES TO HELP, BUT AYU MEGUMI SHOVES ASTRAEA BACK AS THE OTHER TWO ICE ACES SEND VIZ OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BEFORE TURNING AND HELPING AYU MEGUMI WITH ASTRAEA!
Jake Mercer: ASTRAEA KICKS AYU IN THE STOMACH AND SHE PUSHES AYU RIGHT INTO USAGI- BUT ARIA COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH J4A!! THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE LAYS OUT ASTRAEA JORDAN, AND THANKS TO THE DISTRACTION FROM KASSIDY HEART AND BULLETSTORM, THE ICE ACES JUST CAUGHT SOUL FOOD SUNDAYS OFF GUARD AND LAID THEM OUT!!!
Flannery McCoy: That was a perfect trap laid out by the three that never even entered the ring! Soul Food Sundays’ Territorial Invasion opponents seemingly getting the last laugh tonight, as well as their Rise of the Resistance opponents!
(Kassidy, SOSA and Aurora remain on the stage, laughing and with smirks on their faces as the Ice Aces stand tall. Dr. Angelo D’Angelo is out at ringside now in disbelief over the distraction Kassidy and BULLETSTORM caused, and Dynasty fades from ringside from there.)
(A commercial for ‘Drickey Mouse’s Clubhouse’ exclusively on Disney + plays.)
(“Runnin’” by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin hits as Bronson Daniels energetically makes his way through the curtain and down the ramp, stopping to survey all of Dynasty’s fans for a moment while mid-way through the ramp before high-fiving the fans. Bronson is all smiles tonight as he makes his way into the ring)
Stew-O: Bronson’s got his work cut out for him tonight with Voltage’s own Charlie Marr, but he’s the type of competitor that is always game for a challenge, and tonight he’s going to have to be.
Flannery McCoy: With momentum toward Brand Warfare soaring, is Bronson going to be able to harsh the buzz of Charlie Marr?
Jake Mercer: I think Bronson wants to make a statement and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if this was his night to show where he stands on the food chain.
(“Praise the Lord” by Bandokay hits as Charlie Marr walks down the aisle. In contrast to Bronson, Charlie stoically walks down to the ring with his eyes never leaving Bronson Daniels standing in the ring. Fans extend their arms for high fives but Marr does not oblige, continuing to walk forward and sauntering up the steel steps, ready to take on this challenge)
Stew-O: Man, Marr looks some kinda focused tonight. Man on a mission type of vibe.
Flannery McCoy: That’s one of Voltage’s finest right there, one of the most credentialed elitists to represent a team and a guy who hasn’t slowed down in any stage he’s found himself since his EAW career began.
Jake Mercer: Just by the disposition of these two men, you can tell they’re both headed for a collision course. Both of them feel like they’re at the top of their game right now, and neither of them may be wrong.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: The bell sounds and this match is underway! Charlie begins the bout scanning his competitor Bronson Daniels and circling the ring along with Bronson, neither elitist immediately eager to engage, and a fake attempt at a tie-up transitioned into a palm strike by Charlie Marr to the noggin of Bronson Daniels gets the action started! Charlie catches Bronson by surprise, and Bronson staggers back against the ropes, and now Charlie with an attempted clothesline over the top rope to Bronson, but Bronson ducks underneath it while tugging on the top rope, sending Charlie flying to the outside — but Charlie Marr lands on his feet and yanks Bronson outside of the ring by his legs and delivers a headbutt to the midsection of Bronson that sees him go back-first against the side of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: And you can see the agony already in the face of Bronson Daniels! Charlie Marr’s a ruthless individual, a marathoner in the ring, and a student of the game when it comes to the X’s and O’s of professional wrestling. Bronson definitely has his work cut out for him here tonight, and as I say that he very aptly delivers another headbutt to the midsection of Bronson Daniels against the side of that tough canvas! A wailing reaction from Bronson Daniels, but he’s gotta get used to it because Charlie’s far from finished as he executes yet another headbutt to the midsection of Bronson! You can tell by the smirk on Charlie’s face how satisfied he is with his handy work, and now Charlie with a firm grip on the nape of Bronson’s neck is walking him over to the steel steps, and he’s trying to plant Bronson face first into those steel steps!
Jake Mercer: But Bronson avoids it by planting his hands against the steel steps, he’s got that alpha strength and he’s flexing his muscle there! Marr against tries to send Bronson face-first into the steel steps, but Bronson counters it, shimmying his way behind Marr and now planting Marr face-first into the steel steps instead! Bronson said I ain’t taking that abuse anymore and gave Charlie Marr a taste of his own medicine right there! Now Bronson throws Charlie back inside the ring, but as Bronson re-enters the ring Charlie manages to find his footing and regain a vertical base, Bronson charges toward Charlie Marr and goes airborne for a spinning wheel kick, but nobody’s home as Marr dips out of the way and promptly darts off the ropes opposite Bronson, meeting Bronson in the middle of the ring with a running high knee!
Stew-O: But Bronson catches the knee! And now he’s got Charlie’s other leg, what an impressive display of strength by Bronson Daniels! And Bronson now carrying Charlie Marr charges toward the turnbuckles and sends Marr crashing back-first against them! Bronson with a heabdutt to the midsection of Charlie to call back Marr’s assault on Bronson from earlier in the match, and now he’s grabbing Marr by the legs to try and elevate him up the ropes. He’s got him on the second turnbuckle, but Marr’s fighting back with punches which he follows through with a well-disguised closed fist that stuns Bronson and sends him staggering back. Charlie, still positioned on the second rung of those ropes, stalks Bronson, waiting for him to turn around, and now Charlie leaping forward with a double axe handle — NO! Palm thrust to the abdominal region of Charlie Marr, and you can Charlie’s skin starting to turn red from the force of that strike by Bronson!
Jake Mercer: And now an Irish whip by Bronson Daniels sends Charlie back into the turnbuckles again. Bronson unrelenting as he now sends a flurry of stiff kicks to the midsection of Charlie Marr in an effort to subdue his foe representing the enemy lines, and Bronson’s thinking back to what he was trying a moment ago! He’s trying to elevate Marr up the ropes, thinking big here, but Marr again resisting with a bevy of punches, and now a headbutt to the temple of Bronson Daniels! Daniels once again staggering back, and Charlie sprints forward — BIG BOOT!
Flannery McCoy: No! A well-timed aversion by Bronson Daniels as he dodges that big boot of Charlie’s, and on the rebound he kicks the back of Charlie Marr’s leg! Charlie’s swept off his feet now, and this may be in an effort to get him back up those ropes. Charlie is slowly making his way back up to his feet, and as he does Bronson executes a chop block to the back of Charlie’s other leg! It’s a dog-eat-dog world in Elite Answers Wrestling and Bronson’s showing right now he’s more bite than bark. Bronson now physically forces Charlie Marr back up to his feet, pins him up against the turnbuckles with a disrespectful shove, and he’s elevating Charlie! Charlie’s up the second and now third rung of the ropes! Bronson’s got him all the way up there and it looks like he’s gunning for a Superplex right here, could it be? But Charlie’s still fighting despite not having his legs underneath him at the moment, still throwing punches Bronson’s way and trying to resist this, but Bronson’s got Charlie dizzy now as he connects flush with a stiff elbow to the face of Charlie Marr! Bronson’s got Charlie hooked now, is he gonna be able to hammer this one home?
Jake Mercer: THE SUPERPLEX CONNECTS! Charlie’s writhing in agony on the canvass as Bronson connected a masterful Superplex to Charlie despite significant resistance on the part of Charlie Marr! Unfortunately for Bronson, his back took some punishment there too as he clutches at it and isn’t able to immediately go over and notch the pinfall. And now Bronson’s finally dragged his way over to Charlie to drape a shoulder atop his chest! The count!
Ref:
ONEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOO!!!!!!!
THRRR——
Stew-O: But a kickout by Charlie! Nobody can deny the fighting resolve and resourcefulness of Charlie Marr. He’s survived in this game for many years now and it’s that resiliency to stand the trial by fire that’s allowed him to still be thriving to this day, but is it going to be enough to overpower Dynasty’s own Bronson Daniels right here? That, I’m not so sure! Bronson’s clinging to the ropes and inching to his feet faster than Charlie, but still undoubtedly in a good amount of pain himself as he continues to clutch his back after that big fall from the Superplex. Bronson’s back to his feet but he’s sucking wind a little bit after working so hard to set up Charlie Marr for that move, and now Charlie’s back to his feet as well, but seemingly quite a bit more dazed than his opponent and with his head still ringing!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie’s up, but he’s found himself up against the turnbuckles yet again as he’s too exhausted to support his own body weight! Bronson Daniels sees this and he tries to quickly capitalize, charging forward at Charlie — BATMAN PUNCH!
Jake Mercer: And the Batman Punch connects flush in the jaw of Charlie Marr, but he’s still pressed up against those turnbuckles, not yet having fallen down on the canvas! Bronson with a blistering exchange of rights and lefts to the turnbuckle-supported Charlie Marr, followed through with a punishing spinning backfist that sees Charlie Marr dropped down to the canvas! Marr’s head is still being supported by the bottom turnbuckle, and what’s Bronson looking for right here? He sees the position Charlie’s in and he’s got some twisted intentions in mind…
Stew-O: Bronson darts toward the other side of the ring, and now like a gazelle he runs back toward Charlie and he’s going to knock Marr’s block off with the running knee to a virtually downed opponent!
Flannery McCoy: NO! MARR MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, AND BRONSON DANIELS COULDN’T STOP HIS MOMENTUM! THAT KNEE IS DRIVEN INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, AND NOW IT’S BRONSON WHO’S DOWN AND CLUTCHING HIS KNEE IN PURE AGONY! CHARLIE DODGED A BULLET JUST NOW, AND NOW IT’S BRONSON INHALING THE GUNSMOKE FROM HIS OWN TRIGGER! HE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE CANVAS, STILL CLUTCHING THAT KNEE! FORTUNATELY, MARR’S GOING TO NEED TIME TO RECOVER AS WELL! I CAN’T IMAGINE IT WAS ANYTHING BUT ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWED HIM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY THERE!
Jake Mercer: What a shift of the tides in this match! Charlie’s now had a moment to catch is breath and is slowly rising back to his feet with a smile on his face as he sees Bronson still favoring that knee after an ill-advised attempt to incapacitate Marr. Charlie sees Bronson’s predicament and he connects with a flurry of boot stomps to the compromised knee of Bronson Daniels! Bronson now wailing in pain, and Charlie’s not gonna relent with his onslaught as he continues this punishment of Bronson, now taking him back up to his feet, and to add insult to injury Charlie shoulder-checks Bronson Daniels! Daniels staggers against the ropes as Charlie connects another shoulder check before Irish whipping him in the other direction, and Marr meets Bronson Daniels in the middle of the ring! HEADMASTER RITUAL! THE SPINEBUSTER!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON SOMEHOW GETS OUT OF THE SPINEBUSTER AND BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE! CHARLIE MARR HAD HIM UP BUT BRONSON CONNECTED WITH AN ELBOW BEFORE CHARLIE COULD SEND HIM TUMBLING DOWN INTO THE MAT!
Flannery: AND NOW BRONSON DANIELS OUT OF NOWHERE! CHROME HEART TAGS! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Jake Mercer: BUT CHARLIE MARR CAUGHT BRONSON’S LEGS BEFORE THEY COULD CONNECT WITH HIS FACE, AND HE’S TRANSITIONED HIM! AN INVERTED HALF-CRAB APPLIED TO BRONSON AND HE’S WRITHING IN AGONY YET AGAIN AS CHARLIE MARR REARS BACK ON BRONSON’S COMPROMISED KNEE HE HURT EARLIER IN THIS MATCHUP! BRONSON’S SCREAMING IN PAIN, THERE’S NOT A ROPE IN SIGHT, AND THE REFEREE’S PLEADING WITH HIM TO SURRENDER THIS MATCHUP TO CHARLIE, BUT BRONSON SIMPLY WON’T GIVE UP! BRONSON DEFIANTLY INCHES TOWARD THE ROPES, AND HE’S GETTING CLOSER! CHARLIE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! BRONSON’S THERE — NO!!!!
Stew-O: Charlie just drags Bronson Daniels all the way back to the middle of the ring right as he was about to get a break! Charlie just mouthed “THE BUCK STOPS WITH ME” but Bronson’s still not giving up! He absolutely refuses to submit, but the way Charlie is rearing back on that leg and compressing Bronson’s knee, sooner or later Bronson’s not going to have any choice but to give up!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON ATHLETICALLY USES HIS FREE LEFT LEG AND DELIVERS A PUNISHING KICK TO THE SHOULDER OF CHARLIE MARR! CHARLIE STILL WON’T BREAK THE HALF-CRAB, WOW! BUT ANOTHER KICK TO THE SHOULDER OF CHARLIE AND HE’S FORCED TO RELEASE BRONSON DANIELS! CHARLIE RECOLLECTS HIMSELF AND NOW HE’S TRYING TO WRENCH THAT SUBMISSION BACK IN, BUT BRONSON WITH BOTH FEET KICKS UP AT THE CHEST OF CHARLIE MARR AND SENDS HIM FLAILING BACKWARD! AND BRONSON KIPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: AND BOTH ELITISTS ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET! BRAND NEW BALLGAME RIGHT HERE, AND THEY PLUNGE TOWARD ANOTHER, BUT IT’S BRONSON WHO CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! MARR’S GROGGY, AND BRONSON’S NOW GONNA GO FOR IT! SAVAGE MODE! THE LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER, AND BRONSON HAS THE UNDERHOOK ON BOTH OF CHARLIE’S ARMS AS HE AIMS TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: BUT CHARLIE SOMEHOW, SOME WAY SPINS OUT OF HIS UNDERHOOK AND DARTS OFF THE ROPES FACING BRONSON’S BLINDSIDE, COMING BACK FORWARD AS BRONSON TURNS HIS HEAD AROUND TO SET HIM UP FOR THE BIG BOOT!
Jake Mercer: NOBODY’S HOME AGAIN! BRONSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE BOOT AND MARR TURNS BACK AROUND TO FIND BRONSON DANIELS AGAIN!!!
Flannery McCoy: CHROME HEART TAGS! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE CONNECTS FLUSH TO THE HEAD OF CHARLIE MARR! BRONSON DANIELS COLLAPSES OVER MARR FOR THE COVER!!!
Ref:
ONEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: What the hell is this?!?!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S TEAM SHOWDOWN! WE ASSUMED THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN SOMEHOW AND HERE THEY ARE! CHRIS ELITE, RYAN WILSON, LEXI, JON KELTON, AND DONOVAN DUKE HAVE INTERRUPTED THIS MATCH TO BEGIN BEATING DOWN ON BOTH BRONSON DANIELS AND CHARLIE MARR! JUST LIKE EARLIER, THEY’RE SENDING A MESSAGE HERE TONIGHT, A MESSAGE THAT IS LOUD AND CLEAR: WHO IS GOING TO STOP US? AS THEY JUST CONTINUE WAILING ON BOTH OF THESE COMPETITORS WHO WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HARD-FOUGHT MATCH, BOOT STOMPS TO THE FACE OF CHARLIE AND BRONSON DANIELS SEEMINGLY IN AN INFINITE LOOP!
Jake Mercer: BUT HERE’S TEAM DYNASTY RACING DOWN THE RAMPANT! DYNASTY’S FINEST ARE HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! MADISON, SOLOMON STANE, KIRK REDWOOD, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON ARE OUT HERE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS! AN EXHAUSTED MARR ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: THEY’RE ALL IN THE RING NOW AND THEY’RE TRADING PUNCHES WITH ONE ANOTHER! A CLOTHESLINE TO RYAN WILSON SENDS HIM TUMBLING OVER THE ROPES COURTESY OF SOLOMON STANE, WHILE CHRIS ELITE’S IN A HOCKEY FIGHT WITH JAY JERRY JOHNSON — BUT A SUPERKICK BY MADISON SENDS CHRIS ELITE FLYING OVER THE ROPES! DYNASTY HAS EVENED THE ODDS NOW AS THEY SEND LEXI, KELTON, AND DONOVAN DUKE SCURRYING OUT OF THE RING AND ONTO THE RAMP WHERE CHRIS ELITE AND RYAN WILSON ARE NOW ON THEIR FEET SHAKING THEIR HEAD IN A FIT OF FRUSTRATION!
Stew-O: Team Showdown are walking back up the ramp, they’re picking their battles wisely right now, and what’s this?! Bronson Daniels is just now getting his breath back after that beatdown Team Dynasty spared him from taking the worst of, and Madison’s offering him a hand to get back up to his feet as he remains on one knee and unable to get up of his own power, as if Madison is asking him to be on Brand Warfare to join them in representing Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: BRONSON SHAKES MADISON’S HAND AND RISES BACK TO HIS FEET! Bronson’s shaking Madison’s hand, and it looks like he’s on the same page to join Team Dynasty! Wow, how’s that for evening the score? All five are now standing in arms looking down the ramp where Team Showdown is, the elitists staring daggers through each other’s eyes, and I cannot wait for Brand Warfare! Wow!
(Madison raises Bronson’s hand into the air as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back in from a brief commercial break while the camera focuses on someone sitting on a production crate. It’s revealed to be Bronson Daniels nursing his wounds with an ice pack after his match against Charlie Marr earlier. Obviously, the match didn’t end exactly as anticipated, but at the same time, he found himself aligning with some new company in the form of Team Dynasty’s Brand Warfare team spearheaded by Madison Kaline. The camera pans over to show Michael Belfort standing by with a microphone in hand.)
Michael Belfort: Bronson, do you mind if I take the time to answer a question or two?
(Bronson grits his teeth before pushing himself off of his seat and up to his feet. He stretches himself out before nodding his head while Michael continues on.)
Michael Belfort: So as we saw in the ring it seems we got confirmation on who the last member of Dynasty’s Brand Warfare team is, you. Do you have any comments on that?
Bronson Daniels: Let me tell it how I see it, I think I had that match against Charlie Marr won. Walking into this one I approached this as the biggest match since my return, and that could be very well so. A chance to beat the Hardcore Champion, who wouldn’t want to do that? And I was inches away, matter of face milliseconds away, from the bell ringing and announcing myself as the winner. It was going to be a momentous occasion… but it just had to be ruined by five bozos who think they’re all that. I wasn’t going to let that go quietly, and Team Showdown certainly wasn’t going to hear the last of me. So when Madison Kaline offered me the opportunity to be apart of the Brand Warfare match, I didn’t see any other option but accepting it. So I did, and now I’m ready to win the whole damn thing as well.
Michael Belfort: Well we can’t forget how you participated in last year’s Territorial Invasion Brand Warfare matchup as well. Team Captain Jack Ripley led you, Johnny Andrews, Terry Chambers, and Jonny Airhart to an unfortunate loss that night in one of your last matches before your leave. Surely that has to be something that came to mind when you accepted this offer, right? What is going to make this year different from the last?
Bronson Daniels: You know, I’ve prided myself on saying before that this is the best Bronson Daniels EAW has ever seen right here. I’ve pushed myself further than I ever have before and I can say confidently that I am more than ready for whatever Dynasty has to offer me this time around. Brand Warfare last year and, I’ll admit, everything else around that time, my head wasn’t in the game. I wasn’t all there and ultimately that was the reason I left once Andre Walker won the Interwire Championship off of me. That was one of the factors that costed my team and it’s a shame that I have to say that but you know, what can you do about it? But that’s not the case this time around, my mind is clear and I’m walking into Territorial Invasion 2022 with a blank canvas. The competition is tough this time around and I know Showdown and Voltage are going to be bringing their best in hopes of succeeding. But in the end I have faith that my team will be able to get the job done and do whatever it takes to win.
(Bronson is about to continue speaking but is stopped by something that he catches at the corner of his eye. He turns to see Madison Kaline making her way into the scene with a smirk on her face while she claps in approval toward Bronson. She’s in her ring gear and is clearly headed towards Gorilla Position for her match against SOSA Henderson coming up next, but just couldn’t help taking a pitstop and speaking to the newest member of her team.)
Madison Kaline: I have a lot of faith in Team Dynasty to succeed this year. I feel I’ve created the best team possible with what I’ve been given, and Bronson you solidified that with your inclusion into the ranks. I’ve seen what you’ve been doing here in EAW and I can’t help but be impressed just like everyone else is, and I know you can do a lot especially in situations like these. Brand Warfare is not an easy match, but just as you showed last year, even at your worst you can face the odds regardless. So I believe that you were the best pick for a already great team in my eyes and I 100% believe just as much as you do that we’re bound for a victory against Dynasty and Showdown. I know my team won’t let me down, and I can’t wait to see what you offer.
Bronson Daniels: Thank you Madison. I appreciate the help tonight and I’m glad to help out however I can. I know it ain’t gonna be easy and I know people like Charlie Marr and Team Showdown are going to come in with a huge chip on their shoulder knowing what we did to them tonight. But I’m ready, I know you and the rest of the team are ready, and we can handle whatever’s thrown our way. Thank you for the opportunity.
(Madison nods her head before turning around and walking off, while Bronson looks on before turning over to Michael once again.)
Michael Belfort: Well, I think I’ve gotten all I’ve needed. :wow: Thanks for joining me Bronson and I wish you and the rest of the team luck in the Brand Warfare match.
Bronson Daniels: Appreciate it.
(Bronson turns around and walks away leaving Michael standing by himself in front of the camera. It takes a moment but before long it begins to pan out and Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition over to elsewhere.)
(The camera would soon return back to the ringside area, as we see Stephie Love standing in the ring holding an EAW-branded microphone, ready to announce the main event of the evening.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef would blare through the speaker system surrounding the arena, as the crowd burst into a fit of cheers. As the titantron reads SOSA Henderson’s name, “Bulletproof” above it, SOSA would walk out through the curtains wearing a puffer jacket, black sunglasses, gloves and a “SOSA” chain around his neck. SOSA would extend his arms to his side on the stage, before eventually walking down the ramp. SOSA would quickly leap onto the apron, kneeling down, before removing his sunglasses and placing them on the turnbuckles. Grabbing the middle rope, he swiftly slides himself underneath the bottom, entering the ring, before sliding back up to his feet. SOSA would pose in the center of the ring, before his theme song fades out to simply the cheers of the audience.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… weighing in at 191 pounds… hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… HE IS THE “KING OF PHILLY”… BULLETPROOF SOOSSSAAAAAA HEEEEENDERSOOOOOOOOON!!!
(SOSA Henderson would raise his arms as his name is called out, preceding ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff flooding through the speaker system. The cheering crowd would immediately begin to boo, as the titantron reads Madison Kaline’s name. Madison Kaline would walk out through the curtains, a smirk on her face, wearing “Team Captain”-branded gear just weeks away from Territorial Invasion. Madison Kaline would begin to walk down the ramp, before stepping up the steel stels and entering the ring. Madison quickly climbs to the top turnbuckle, posing at the top, before her theme song eventually fades out much like SOSA’s…)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… weighing in at 120 pounds… hailing from Tampa Bay, Florida… SHE IS THE DYNASTY BRAND WARFARE CAPTAIN… “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MAAADISOOOOON KAAAALIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEE!!
(Removing her jacket, Madison Kaline would pose, before walking backwards into her corner, waiting the bell ringing…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: And this match is underway, as SOSA Henderson and Madison Kaline begin to circle the ring! Madison and SOSA enter a lock up, however SOSA is quick to slam Madison down to the mat, who bounces straight up to a seated position! The King of Philly pats his chest, as Madison looks up at him with a grin! She definitely didn’t enjoy that, but she’s looking to keep her cool… but piefaces SOSA regardless! Brand Warfare Team Captain disrespecting one half of BULLETSTORM right here, but SOSA isn’t going to take that lightly!
Stew-O: SOSA fires back with a clothesline, however, Madison Kaline quickly ducks underneath it and runs the ropes! She rebounds off before charging back towards SOSA, who attempts a back elbow- but it’s immediately ducked! Madison hits the ropes once again before leaping into the air… FOR A TORNADO DDT THAT SPIKES SOSA HENDERSON ON THE DOME OF HIS HEAD! NO! SOSA plants his hips to stop Madison from connecting with it, before shoving her off of him! She lands on her feet, before ducking a discus forearm… BUT A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD CONNECTS, DROPPING HER TO A KNEE!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson runs the ropes looking for a standing ‘Paid In Full’ Double Curb Stomp, however Madison rolls out of the way! She retreats back up to her feet, sprinting towards SOSA trying to connect with the ‘Afterlife’ Clothesline Fron Hell, but SOSA ducks yet again! Madison turns around into a Cutter from out of nowhere- but she shoves him off! These two have endless counters to each others move as the current and future Hall of Famers square off against one another in our main event match here on Friday Night Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline connects with a forearm to the front of SOSA’s head, before transitioning behind and connecting… with the German Suplex! SOSA lands on the bridge of his shoulders which bounces him up to a kneeling base, as Madison transitions to a standing position! Madison once again hits the ropes as SOSA is still reeling from that German Suplex, his vision definitely starting to get a little blurry from that swift yet brutal landing! Madison charges up… PERHAPS LOOKING FOR A SLIDING ‘AFTERLIFE’ CLOTHESLINE… BUT STOPS HERSELF AS SHE SLAPS SOSA HENDERSON RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! THE DISRESPECT SHOWN BY MADISON HERE!
Stew-O: Just like earlier, SOSA is not going to take that lightly, as he steps back up to his feet! Madison already turned to boast to the crowd, not seeing SOSA get back up to his feet! SOSA rushes up behind her before connecting with a running axe handle straight to the back, which sends her straight through the ropes! She falls straight to the outside, as SOSA then turns around! SOSA runs and hits the ropes… HE CHARGES BACK TOWARDS HER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A TOPE CON HILO OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE TAKES MADISON OFF HER FEET, WHILE LANDING ON HIS!
Jake Mercer: THE CROWD HAVE GONE CRAZY FOR SOSA RIGHT HERE, AS HE GOES HIGH RISK WITH HIGH REWARD! SOSA BASKS IN THE HYPE, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND GRABBING HER BY HER HAIR! SHE LIFTS MADISON UP OFF HER FEET BEFORE THROWING HER STRAIGHT THROUGH THE ROPES! SHE ROLLS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AS SOSA GETS BACK ONTO THE APRON AND ENTERS THE RING-
Stew-O: MADISON KICKS THE MIDDLE ROPE! SHE QUICKLY GOT TO HER FEET WHEN SHE WAS ROLLED INTO THE RING, AND NOW SHE ROLLS HIM UP WITH THE SMALL PACKAGE!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: SOSA POPS THE SHOULDER UP!
Flannery McCoy: That was a relatively dirty tactic employed by Madison, however, she doesn’t care as SOSA is now no longer in control! She grabs SOSA by the ears and lifts him up off his feet, before twisting him around into a snap neckbreaker! Madison twists her hips and pulls the both of them up in a Vertical Suplex position, and she lifts him up off the ground… with the Vertical Suplex connecting! Madison holds on yet again and twists her hips a second time, lifting the both of them up, before irish whipping SOSA… HURRICANRANA!
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson is flipped forward onto his back, and the whiplash sends him rolling to the corner! SOSA uses the ropes to pull himself up, resting in the corner, before Madison sprints towards him and connects with a Corner Spear! SOSA bends forward, and Madison uses that position to throw him to the mat with a snapmare, temporarily keeping him down, and now she makes her way up to the top rope! Madison Kaline turns around, facing away from SOSA… SHE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘MADDIE BOMB’ MOONSAULT!!! NO! SOSA HENDERSON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF IT!
Jake Mercer: WRONG! MADSION KALINE LANDS ON HER FEET, AND RUNS FORWARD… WITH A LIONSAULT! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT LANDS ON SOSA HENDERSON, AND MADISON COVERS!
OOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT A KICK OUT FROM SOSA HENDERSON SHOWS OFF WHAT AMAZING RESILIENCE HE HAS! HE WAS DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING THAT SECOND MOONSAULT, MAKING IT EVEN MORE BRUTAL THAN IF THE FIRST HAD LANDED! SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T MOVE AND JUST HAVE TO BRACE YOURSELF, BUT THIS TIME HE DID NEITHER! HOWEVER, HE WAS STILL ABLE TO POWER THE SHOULDER UP OFF THE MAT, ALLOWING HIMSELF TO CONTINUE FORWARD IN THIS MATCHUP!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline sighs, slamming her fist into the mat, before standing back up to her feet! She grabs SOSA by the hair, and lifts him up to a kneeling base! She now begins to connect with some huge roundhouse kicks straight to the chest!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) THIS IS MINE TO WIN!
(SLAP!)
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) MINE!
(SLAP!)
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) I AM THE CAPTAIN! NOT ANYONE ELSE!
(SLAP!)
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline connecting with brutal kicks to SOSA’s chest, while monologuing and bragging to SOSA Henderson! SOSA must feel like he’s being mocked as Madison upholds her ego even during the match! Madison throws another kick!
Stew-O: DUCKED! SOSA HENDERSON PUSHES MADISON KALINE STRAIGHT INTO THE ROPES, CHEST-FIRST, AND AS SHE STUMBLES BACK HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER! MADISON IS SPIKED DIRECTLY ON THE CROWN OF HER HEAD, BEFORE FALLING FLAT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! SOSA HENDERSON RECOVERED WITH A CLICK OF HIS FINGERS, BRUTALLY PLANTING HER HEAD-FIRST INTO THE SLIGHTLY-PROTECTED WOODEN RING MAT, A MOVE THAT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO MAKE HER SEE STARS! SOSA RECOVERS, BEFORE LIFTING MADISON UP WITH HIS FOOT… SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! SOSA HENDERSON HOOKS THE LEG!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: MADISON KALINE KICKS OUT! A fantastic maneuver that reminds me of that one time where Komatsu Ogawa’s bestie back in the Tokyo Dome hit a similar combo!
Flannery McCoy: MITSUBACHI?
Jake Mercer: The car? Nah, y’all wouldn’t know him. You can’t fault me for being a wrestling genius after all. Regardless; a really smooth combination from SOSA Henderson gains him the upper hand in this contest, something that he desperately needed as we saw Madison Kaline attempting her signature maneuvers, possibly bridging straight into one of her finishing moves that could absolutely end a match like this!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson isn’t done here, though, as he steps over to grab Madison Kaline by the hair, before lifting her up off her feet! SOSA places her in the Full Nelson, before lifting her up off the mat… TWISTING HER FORWARD TO CONNECT WITH THE JML DRIVER- NO! SHE COUNTERS IT WITH A ROLL UP!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: SOSA KICKS OUT AS THE TWO OF THEM SCRAMBLE TO THEIR FEET, BEFORE SOSA IS QUICK TO KNOCK HER DOWN TWITH A HUGE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! SHE SPINS AROUND COMPLETELY DUE TO THE WHIPLASH!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW SOSA PLACES HER BACK IN THE FULL NELSON, LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND! THE JML DRIVER CONNECTS THIS TIME, COMPLETELY TAKING HER OUT! USUALLY SOSA HENDERSON WOULD FOLLOW THIS UP WITH A COVER, HOWEVER, HE ROLLS BACKWARDS OUT OF IT, BEFORE GRABBING MADISON KALINE BY THE HAIR! HE LIFTS HER UP OFF THE GROUND…
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) “Winning this match” huh…?
Crowd: :lupe:
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) https://c.tenor.com/ID-s_juEEc8AAAAC/no-you-aint-sandy-cheeks.gif
Jake Mercer: BAM! STIFF LARIAT STRAIGHT TO MADISON’S THROAT, SENDING HER CRASHING TO THE MAT! HE HOOKS BOTH OF HER LEGS!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM MADISON KALINE!!!!!!!! SHE POPS THE SHOULDER UP, AND SHE POPS THE SHOULDER UP HARD, SHOVING SOSA OFF OF HER IMMEDIATELY! SHE MAY HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO KEEP HER WITS ABOUT HER IN ORDER TO ESCAPE WHAT COULD’VE BEEN NEAR-FATAL FO RTHE RESULT OF THIS MATCH! EITHER THAT, OR SOSA SPENT TOO MUCH TIME MOCKING HIS OPPONENT IN RETALIATION FOR EARLIER, AND THE EFFECTS OF THE JML DRIVER WORE OFF EVER SO SLIGHTLY! REGARDLESS, THIS MATCH CONTINUES BETWEEN THESE TWO UPPER ECHELON ELITISTS!
Stew-O: Madison Kaline is quickly lifted up off her feet by SOSA Henderson, who throws her into the corner! He connects with a punch to the stomach, a move that causes her to fall to a kneeling base, however, he doesn’t let that happen completely! He grabs her by the jaw, before pulling her back up just to do it again! Another punch to the stomach causes her to keel over forward, but AGAIN SOSA stops her! SOSA lifts her back up one more time, before turning her around… JESUS! A STIFF PUNCH STRAIGHT INTO THE SPINAL AREA CAUSES HER TO FALL DOWN TO HER KNEES – THE REFEREE PULLING SOSA BACK!
Jake Mercer: Madison is stuck in a kneeling base because of that punch, and now the referee is checking to make sure she’s okay! A punch to the spine is brutal, but SOSA Henderson truly does not care all that much! The crowd is booing the referee for stopping this match, and SOSA is encouraging them to boo louder! He wants this match to continue as much as they do! The referee continues to tend to Madison, as SOSA gets an idea…
Stew-O: I don’t know what SOSA has planned here, but he grabs the referee and pulls him back, before running forward… JESUS! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO MADISON KALINE’S BACK CRUSHES HER AGAINST THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!
Crowd: :damn:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The referee pulls SOSA back again, and begins to yell at him!
Referee: (off-mic) DON’T LAY YOUR HANDS ON AN OFFICIAL, GOT IT???
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) :yeshrug;
(As SOSA Henderson is berated by the referee, the camera would soon pull back to a replay angle.)
(https://78.media.tumblr.com/ab843c6d554d6d4e2052f8ab1c95f35d/tumblr_orfpvnonCm1s05wxzo1_400.gif)
(Soon after, the camera returns to normal.)
Flannery McCoy: Here we see that brutal knee strike again, and you’ve gotta be thinking; what exactly does Madison Kaline need to do here in order to thoroughly recover?! A knee strike like that could end careers nevertheless matches, especially up against the turnbuckles like that was! That move could shake anyone to their core, and you’ve gotta wonder how Madison is feeling right now!
Stew-O: Madison Kaline has GOT to be feeling awful after that knee, it’s undeniable at this point. The impact of a knee into her shoulder bridge, with the turnbuckle right in front of you, is not a good feeling whatsoever; just by simply realizing what a combination of padded bone and padded steel can do! There’s no putting it lightly; that has her rocked!
Jake Mercer: But perhaps that won’t matter, as SOSA Henderson comes up from behind her and looks to continue this contest right here! He grabs her by the long luscious locks of her hair, before picking her up into a standing base! He looks to connect with an Electric Chair Maneuver here, as he lifts her high up off the ground as if she weighed literally nothing, perhaps looking to twist it into a powerbomb as he flips her around-
Flannery McCoy: HURRICANRANA TO SOSA SENDS HIM THROAT-FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN AND OUT, LAYING ON THE MAT, BARELY ABLE TO MOVE! THAT KNEE STRIKE, AND THAT HURRICANRANA BOTH DID SOME DAMAGE, AS SOSA IS GRASPING ONTO HIS THROAT AND DRY HEAVING, WHILE MADISON KALINE IS COMPLETELY OUT COLD, USING THE LAST GUST OF ENERGY SHE HAD LEFT IN HER BODY TO DELIVER THAT MANEUVER! THE REFEREE MAY HAVE TO START COUNTING TO TEN, AS NEITHER ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF RECOVER! I DON’T THINK ANYONE CONSIDERED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF NEITHER OF THESE TWO WON THE MATCH, BUT IT’S ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE; WHAT IF THEY DON’T!?
ONE!
TWO!
Stew-O: Neither Elitist is proving that they can recover here, as only SOSA has moved, and that’s because of how painful his throat – pause – must be in right now!
THREE!
FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline has started to stir awake, as she reached her arm forward looking to grab the ropes – but she’s nowhere near!
FIVE!
SIX!
Jake Mercer: The only time I’ve ever seen a match end with two people on the mat was back in 1999, Budokan Hall, two Japanese LEGENDS going at it, connecting with a double front flip clothesline! Brutal.
Flannery McCoy: :comeagain:
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson grabs onto the ropes, as Madison grabs his foot… but they might not make it!
NINE!
Stew-O: THEY MIGHT NOT MAKE IT!
TEN!
Stew-O: SOSA GETS TO HIS FEET, AND MADISON IMMEDIATELY POPS TO HERS! ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX! SHE BAITED HIM! SHE WAS RESTING!
Jake Mercer: BUT MAYBE SO WAS HE, AS HE BACKFLIPS OUT OF IT ALMOST INSTANTLY! MADISON GETS BACK TO HER FEET… ‘STOLE YO REDACTED’ CONNECTS! THE LEAPING CUTTER OUTTA NOWHERE!!!! SOSA HENDERSON MAY HAVE THIS ONE IN THE BAG!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA HENDERSON EXITS OUT ONTO THE APRON RIGHT HERE, AS HE SLOWLY STUMBLES OVER TO THE RING POST! MADISON KALINE IS DOWN AND OUT, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT SOSA COULD BE GOING FOR HERE! THE DIVING VARIATION – THE MAIN VARIATION – OF THAT DOUBLE CURB STOMP THAT HE ALMOST CONNECTED RIGHT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS MATCHUP! SOSA HENDERSON PLACES HIS FOOT ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, BEFORE PULLING HIS LEFT ON THE TOP! SOSA HENDERSON IS ABLE TO STAND IN A SQUATTING POSITION RIGHT ON THE TOP ROPE, AND THIS COULD BE VERY BAD FOR MADISON KALINE RIGHT HERE! SOSA STANDS UP-
(But suddenly, ‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Rufus and Chaka Khan hits the speakers…)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT???
Stew-O: OH NO! THAT’S SOUL FOOD SUNDAY’S MUSIC!
(Soul Food Sunday would soon walk out onto the stage, and SOSA Henderson would immediately be distracted as his head turns towards them. He immediately went tunnel visioned as the the has had beef with for quite a few weeks have now made their presence known. Visual Prophet claps his hands, giving him a patronising “don’t mind me” expression, and SOSA instantly shakes his head, before turning back towards the ring, facing a still-downed Madison Kaline.)
Stew-O: Soul Food Sunday have now shown up, however, they aren’t doing anything direct to SOSA Henderson! They took him off his game for quite some time, but regardless of that SOSA is still on the top rope ready to connect with his finishing maneuver! SOSA Henderson stands up on the top turnbuckle, looking down at Madison… “PAID IN FULL”!!! DIVING DOUBLE CURB STOMP-
Jake Mercer: MADISON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SOSA ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AT THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! THEY CHARGE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER-
Flannery McCoy: ‘AFTERLIFE’!!!!!! THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL CONNECTS ON SOSA HENDERSON, SENDING HIM FLIPPING THROUGH THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING HARD AGAINST THE RING MAT! SOUL FOOD SUNDAY TOOK SOSA OFF HIS GAME FOR JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR MADISON TO RECOVER, AND NOW SHE HAS THIS W IN THE BAG! SHE SHOOTS THE HALF, AND HOOKS THE LEG!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
…
TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA PINFALL…. MAAADISOOOOOOOOOON KAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff hits the speakers as the entire crowd begin to boo. Madison Kaline rolls off of her opponent SOSA Henderson, with a smirk on her face. The camera would pan to the top of the ramp, as we see Soul Food Sunday laughing among one another, knowing exactly what they did to SOSA Henderson, finding it amusing. We pan back towards the ring as The Mistress of Death Madison Kaline would be seen standing back up into a standing position. The referee would grab her hand and raise it, though she’d quickly force it back, before running to the turnbuckles. She climbs up onto the middle rope, before mockingly laughing at the crowd for ever believing that she wouldn’t pick up the victory.)
Flannery McCoy: Firstly; Soul Food Sunday have once again injected themselves into a match, costing somebody the victory! Who knows if Madison would’ve kicked out, however, it’s undeniable that had Soul Food Sunday not walked their way out onto the stage, SOSA Henderson’s ‘Paid In Full’ would’ve connected! Whether that ended the match or not, who’s to say, but that’d definitely have made the outcome different! Secondly; what a match, especially those closing moments! Madison Kaline was brutally kneed in the back, but she still found time to recover in order to pick up a victory that she herself believed she needed heading into Territorial Invasion, and she got it! SOSA Henderson was hit with that Clothesline from Hell, and it sent him inside out, allowing Madison Kaline to pick up the W! She got the 1-2-3, and is now heading into Territorial Invasion with a victory that absolutely boosts her momentum! Could Madison Kaline lead Team Dynasty to victory? We’ll sure find out!
(Madison Kaline is seen walking up the ramp still celebrating her victory, before the camera pans over to SOSA Henderson, who is looking up at the top of the ramp, livid. He and Viz’s eyes connect, before he looks straight at Astraea. SOSA seems pissed, staring straight through Maddie, Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan with a fire in his eyes. He uses the ropes to pull himself up, before the camera pans back to Madison. She shrugs her shoulders and continues to exit the arena, before the Dynasty broadcast quickly fades out to the last commercial break of the evening.)
(A commercial is shown for Territorial Invasion advertising Anarchy in The Arena and the Brand Warfare match.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from the final commercial of the night to a shot of the Swiss Life Arena. The crowd are on their feet, and even more so when ‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena. The camera then goes over to show the stage where Limmy Monaghan is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He stands for a moment, before pointing up to the sky while a beautiful array of pyro is seen shooting out behind him. He then brings his hands back down to his side, looking around at the fans in attendance tonight with a smile on his face before then making his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… ‘THE LEADER’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As we saw last week at Poor Unfortunate Souls, before his match with The Visual Prophet, which he won, Limmy Monaghan teased that by next week we’d know the other two Elitists that he would lead into the Anarchy in The Arena match at Territorial Invasion. After the show, it was revealed that the two people were to be the Specialists Champion Serenity Valdez alongside the Interwire Champion Joso. They were two picks I didn’t expect, but two who have very strong qualities that will benefit the Dynasty Team come TI.
Flannery McCoy: Now I can only wonder how the other teams are going to respond to this tonight. Team Showdown consisting of Adam Lucas, Jake Smith, and Xander Payne, along with Team Voltage consisting of Drake King and Hikari Kanno so far. We saw Team Voltage make their presence known earlier in the night in the form of Brand Warfare carnage, and that led to Bronson Daniels joining the Dynasty Team as the final member. But now with everything coming to a head, I’m sure the Anarchy in The Arena participants are going to make themselves known one way or another. So let’s see what happens tonight to close off the show!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan was dubbed ‘The Leader’ back in Scotland when he led his High School dodgeball team to the final when they won the entire thing! Some say that has influenced how he acts in EAW and has been quoted as saying that the dodgeball tournament impacted his entire life. :wow:
(Limmy makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, looking out once more before entering through the ropes and into the ring. He stands at the center of the ring, pointing a finger gun toward the hard camera before going over to take a microphone from the timekeeper’s area. ‘King’s Dead’ begins to come to a close while Limmy twirls the microphone in his hand before bringing it up to his mouth and beginning to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: Let me start this off by reiterating something I’ve known all along… Season 16 will be mine. Since the very beginning that statement, in my mind, has been undeniable; and every single week I step into the ring I prove that. Even with the hiccups on my journey, ones that specifically targeted me and stopped me from reaching what I rightfully deserved, though I digress… I still stand before you today as one of the best Elitists that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer. Beating The Visual Prophet not only proved that, it solidified it. I said from the beginning that Viz was not going to be ready for what I had in store for him, and his attempts at being petty and acting entitled towards me was a death wish in itself. One way or another he was soon going to regret everything he did when I beat him at Poor Unfortunate Souls, and lo and behold, here we are. Here we are, another Elitist down, another World Champion down, and I continue my proverbial rise to the top of the mountain. Sure it hasn’t gone exactly the path I expected, but if there was one thing I did expect, it was Tyrone Montgomery seeing the type of Elitist I am and realizing how good of an investment he made for his brand by drafting me. Which is why he didn’t hesitate to give me the Team Captain spot for Team Dynasty in the Anarchy in The Arena match at Territorial Invasion. Which leads me to what I said last week about all of you knowing who my teammates were going to be by this week…
Limmy Monaghan: There were a lot of good choices, believe me, I had a tough time choosing who I wanted to be on my team. With the Dynasty roster as stacked as it is, a lot of people bring a lot of different qualities to the table. But at the end of the day when I was certain, I knew 100% that this team would be the team that I would lead to victory. Two people off the cusp of some major wins respectively, week in and week out showing themselves to be the future of this company and waving that flag proudly. I know it came as a surprise to some, especially comparing the competition that we have in store for us at Territorial Invasion. But I assure all of you, there is nobody I would put my faith into more than these two Elitists. So please, join me in welcoming them out here tonight.
(Limmy looks toward the stage with a smirk on his face while ‘Demeanor (ft. Dua Lipa)’ by Pop Smoke is heard blasting through the speakers to a response of loud boos. The camera then goes from the ring toward the stage where Serenity Valdez is seen energetically making her way out. She has the Specialists Championship around her shoulder which she proudly boasts to anyone that can hear. She takes her Championship into her possession, and raises it high into the air with the biggest smile in the world on her face, before pointing toward Limmy inside the ring with a smirk on her face and beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Last week we saw Serenity Valdez tap out Diamond Dixon in a submission match to retain her Specialists Championship in her first defense. I’m sure she has to be ecstatic about not only that, but the opportunity that she’s gotten courtesy of Team Captain Limmy Monaghan.
Flannery McCoy: We know what Serenity can do inside that ring and what she’s capable of when the pressure is on. She’s defied a lot of the odds that were against her when she first stepped foot into this company and this is just another one of them which I wouldn’t be surprised that she beats as well. There truly is nobody like her and I’m sure she will be a great asset to Team Dynasty at Territorial Invasion with what she can bring to the table.
(Serenity enters into the ring, already having a microphone in her hand while ‘Demeanor (ft. Dua Lipa’ is heard beginning to come to a close from there. Limmy steps back into a corner and allows her to have the floor as Serenity, with the biggest smirk in the world on her face, begins to speak into her microphone whilst facing the hard camera.)
Serenity Valdez: God, who better to represent Friday Night Dynasty than the FACE of this brand! You see, when Limmy here put out the offer for me to join his Anarchy in The Arena team, I knew right there that he was willing to do anything to make sure that his team was the best. I mean, going out of his way to choose the best option possible for this sort of match??? It was in good taste, and of course, an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. Because while it was fun and all entertaining Diamond Dixon and allowing her to get her five minutes of fame under my spotlight… I don’t want that to be what defines myself and my Specialists Championship run. No, someone like myself DESERVES top billing, deserves the BEST that this company can offer in every single facet. Which is why I see Anarchy in The Arena as more than just team spirit, I see it as an opportunity to show EVERYONE why I am quite simply the ‘Greatest of All Time’. So I’ll say it right now, I am not settling for anything other than a victory at Territorial Invasion. And with a star-studded trio like the one we have right here, Showdown and Voltage don’t stand a chance against us.
(Serenity brings down her microphone and smirks while the crowd continues to boo her, but that reaction quickly turns around as ‘Trophies’ by Drake blasts through the speakers. The crowd cheers while Joso is shown making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has the Interwire Championship wrapped firmly around his waist while he has his arms spread out confidently. He unbuckles his Championship and brings it into his possession, raising it with both hands into the air while making his way to the ring.)
Jake Mercer: YES! THE NEW ERA! THE FUTURE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING! THE GOLDEN ACE! THE KAISER SLAYER! JOSO IS HERE!!!
Stew-O: And we can’t forget the man who we deemed to have done the impossible. At Poor Unfortunate Souls, Andre Walker’s record-breaking Interwire Championship reign was shattered by this man here, and I’m sure he has to be sky high as a result. His first Championship in Elite Answers Wrestling and an emphatic start to Season 16, the future is limitless for someone like Joso.
Flannery McCoy: And what better start to his reign than to be chosen by Limmy Monaghan to join the Anarchy in The Arena team. We have seen him put in the work time after time again and especially in big match situations like this one, I feel there is no one more capable for the job than Joso. Him and Serenity were great picks for this team, and alongside a star like Limmy, in my unbiased opinion they’re my pick to win.
(Joso rolls into the ring and greets his two teammates with a simple nod, before once again taking his Interwire Championship and raising it into the air while the crowd continue to show their support for the newly crowned Champion. He then slings his Championship over his shoulder before taking a microphone for himself. ‘Trophies’ then begins to come to a close while Joso brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak.)
Joso: You can’t talk about a new era without talking about THE New Era himself! That’s right, from the very beginning I said that this is my time, that the future was paved for me and me only and the only person that deserved the spotlight more than anyone else was myself. Which is why I came in swinging, I aimed right for the top and I made sure, just like always… that I didn’t miss. And I sure as hell didn’t because here I am now, against all odds, AS YOUR INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
(Joso raises his Championship one more time to enthusiastic cheers from the crowd to follow.)
Joso: Andre Walker doubted me, said I was way out of my league and that me and Ruler fighting him was us biting off more than we could chew. And while he was right about one of us… he certainly wasn’t right about me, because not only did I do what people thought would never happen, I gave him his first loss of 2022. No matter how many excuses he wants to give, trying to sweep this under the rug and pretend it didn’t happen. We all saw in living color that his words weren’t up to snuff, and he ain’t all he says he is, that’s something that he’s going to have to live with. But nonetheless, let’s look at what’s next…
Joso: Y’all already know I had to come out of the gate swinging, and what better than to be a part of Team Dynasty for Anarchy in The Arena. Like my partner Serenity said, I see this as an opportunity just as much as a tag team match, and a chance to show the world that I’m not playing around and the vision of me as Interwire Champion is one that you’re going to see for a long time. So you know damn well I’m going to be at my best, and show my team that they didn’t make a mistake choosing me. I’m here to win, and I’m sure my teammates are as well, so let’s make some magic at Territorial Invasion.
(Joso brings his microphone back down while Limmy applauds his two partners while stepping out of the corner. He’s clearly proud in the team that he’s made for Territorial Invasion and is also looking to speak again as he takes Joso’s place at the center of the ring before beginning to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: See what I mean? This is a team that I’d root for, and a team I’d recommend you do as well, because this my friends, is the winning team. I believe wholeheartedly that neither Showdown nor Voltage have what we have and these two Championship Elitists behind me along with myself, are going to make sure that at Territorial Invasion we walk out of Anarchy in The Arena victorious. But, right now, I’m feeling quite a bit ambitious. I’m feeling a bit of fighting spirit right now, and you know what? I feel like Showdown and Voltage aren’t going to take my words so lightly. So I’d be happy to welcome any of them who want to object to our home turf and prove themselves that they’re even close to what we are right now. Let’s do that shall we?
(Limmy turns toward the stage once again while Team Dynasty collectively waits for anyone to answer the call. They wait momentarily while the crowd murmur in anticipation of who it could possibly be. It’s then that ‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell plays up to the surprised yet welcoming reaction by the crowd. Limmy looks quite amused alongside Joso and Serenity inside the ring while Adam Lucas is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He already has a microphone in his hand as he stands at the stage, taking a look around before focusing on the three people in front of him while making his way down the ramp. ‘You Know My Name’ then begins to come to a close while Adam brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak to Team Dynasty inside the ring.)
Adam Lucas: Limmy, good to see you again. I heard what you three had to say, and I can’t help but disagree, and for good reason. It’s not for no reason that people were skeptical about this team you made with Joso and Serenity, and it’s not because they’re bad by any means. You can see the Championships around their waist, you can watch for yourself what happened last week and have that serve as a precedent for what they have to offer their team. I have no doubt they’ll put in the work, but the issue is… the competition. The competition that they’re going to be up against are some of the best Elitists in this company in my opinion, including myself, and with them talking about this being some huge opportunity and a chance to prove themselves… it’s clear that a situation like this is something that they’re just not familiar with. I don’t doubt the idea that you’ll be able to get along, because you’ve really made a good team here Limmy. But especially in a match with people like myself, Jake Smith, Xander Payne, and I may as well give Drake King and Hikari Kanno credit as well, people who have been here for years and know what it’s like to be at center stage… I can’t help but be skeptical alongside all the other skeptics. But I’d also love to be proven wrong at the same time, because if there’s one thing I love, it’s competition. So please, give ME a reason instead of me having to do the same for you.
Limmy Monaghan: Adam, I think it’s kind of obvious that you and I have a lot of respect for one another. I give you credit and say that you are on the rise and are absolutely going to be a future World Champion, and you do the same. We have been through a lot and throughout that time I’ve agreed and disagreed with a lot of what you said. But to hear you say that you doubt this team that I’ve made consists of some of Dynasty’s best, I thought you’d know better than that. Just last week, Joso beat out Andre Walker of all people, and Serenity Valdez is here holding the same Championship that Hall of Famers and former World Champions have held. Isn’t that enough to justify our credibility? Sure there’s a lot to prove, but what’s new? Everyone has something to prove in this match, but we just have a little more and just like every other week that means you are going to see the very best that we can offer. So spare me this whole thing about me not knowing what I’m doing, because I’m doing just fine with or without your approval.
Adam Lucas: Oh I wish it was that easy my friend, but I dare to say otherwise. Having been around my partners for Anarchy in The Arena for this entire Season I’ve gotten the chance to do a deepdive into their mentality and what they’ve put forward for themselves to do. Jake Smith is a star in the making and has all the tools to truly be one of the best. Xander Payne, as rebellious as he can be sometimes, is a Hall of Famer and his accomplishments exceed the regular Elitist. I can’t speak for the Voltage team, but you don’t have to be a genius to see what we’re capable of and what we can do. Once again, I’m not counting out any of you and I’m definitely not underestimating your teammates, but I’m going to need a little more than ‘we need this a little bit more’ to justify your belief of winning this one.
Serenity Valdez: We can prove it right now if you step into this ring because you talk a lot with you being the only one out here for your team.
(Adam looks amused at the offer while the three of them try to welcome him inside the ring. He smiles, before holding his hands up and taking a step back.)
Adam Lucas: Maybe another time, but say… maybe if my friends say otherwise…
(The crowd cheered loudly while Team Dynasty looks confused at this sudden eruption.)
Stew-O: LOOK! FROM BEHIND! XANDER PAYNE! JAKE SMITH! THEY JUST CLOBBERED SERENITY AND JOSO AND KNOCKED THEM DOWN TO THE MAT! ADAM WASN’T ALONE, THIS WAS ALL AN ELABORATE SETUP! LIMMY TURNS AROUND AND TRIES TO HELP HIS TEAMMATES-

(Adam directs himself toward the center of the ring while Jake and Xander follow, before he takes both of their hands and raises them up into the air with the crowd on their feet completely excited for what they just witnessed here tonight. Team Dynasty is all laid out on the floor while Team Showdown stands over their carcasses, and it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to completely fade out from there.)
