(EAW intro plays.)
(Dynasty opens up with a montage of last week’s show: The Dynasty Brand Warfare participants are rewarded… or at least, would’ve been as Ms. Extreme and Theron Nikolas are the only Elitists given title matches for House of Glass. Drake Armstrong storms off after Kensingten makes it clear she doesn’t like him, and as for Chris Elite and SOSA Henderson, they are singled out in controversial fashion. They leave, frustrated as can be. Jake Smith shows up, talking about his plan for revenge before being interrupted by Ronan Malosi. Jake reveals that he’s found back-up in the form of Cy Henderson, shocking everyone. In the first match for the Iconic Cup tournament, Halsey Neel defeats Brianna Hill. After the match, Brianna is attacked by Mia Santoro. SOSA Henderson meets up with Albert Hitchman, demanding that he’s rewarded for his efforts since Albert promised to grant him a title match. He isn’t able to get an answer then, but Albert promises to look into his request with input from Andre Walker. Miku Sakai defeats Valerie Hellstorm in the next Iconic Cup, moving on to the semi-finals. Xander Payne comes out and talks about all the time he wasted with DOMINION and Ryan Wilson. He’s confronted by Ryan, bitter feelings lingering between the former tag team partners and friends. In the following contest, Joso defeats Ryan after Xander comes out to distract the latter. Afterwards, he attacks him. KAI-ZEN arrives, and Ricky says that they plan on taking over Dynasty. Mig De Decker and Prince TOHRU are able to follow through on that promise by defeating Cody Maverick and Komatsu Ogawa in tag team action. Kassidy Heart, Limmy Monaghan and Myles are interviewed, soaking in their win in the War Games match. However, just as they go their separate aways, Limmy is attacked by KAI-ZEN. Myles rushes in but isn’t able to stop them before they disappear. Hans Grayson retains the EAW New Breed Championship against Mattias Burke. Rory Slate speaks with Michael Belfort about her goal of becoming the next Specialists Championship before being interrupted by Delilah Rose and Bea Valentine. They bicker before Milli Banks appears to break things up. Drake Armstrong and Milli are able to beat Rory and Michael Machina after Bea and Delilah rush in and fight the two women, paving way for Drake to attack Michael with his ring. Bronson Daniels talks about his reign and what he seeks to accomplish with his next title defense looming. Myles comes out and offers to challenge him for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship on the following Dynasty, which Bronson accepts. In the main event, Jake Smith defeats Ronan Malosi.)
(Dynasty fades in to the live broadcast, and the fans are hyped as always. The Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium is packed, which the cameras are meticulous about showing off as the Indian fans wave and show off their merch and signs. Pyro goes off on the stage. After capturing the lively essence inside the stadium, the shot transitions to where Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy are seen by their table.)
Stew-O: EAW UNIVERSE, WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY! AS ALWAYS, I AM JOINED BY MY TRUSTED COLLEAGUES JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!
Jake Mercer: We’re here every single week baby, ready to go over the best piece of action in EAW today! Two title matches! Rivalries renewed! Stacked tag team matches with drama involved! We got it all! But the most important thing is that Bronson Daniels will absolutely lose here to–
Flannery McCoy: Alright, quit it. Seriously.
Jake Mercer: All I’m saying is–
Flannery McCoy: Jake, please, let’s be serious. Don’t let your bias ruin what is sure to be a jam-packed show tonight! There’s much to look forward to, and in regards to the main event, people are not going to blindly hate someone who is slowly but surely proving themselves to be a capable champion!
Stew-O: Bronson has been on a roll. However, his challenger tonight is sure to be the toughest one he’s faced yet as he takes on the two-time world champion, Myles! The self-proclamed ‘PEAK’ of EAW called his shot, feeling a surge of motivation following his win at Territorial Invasion. The opportunity was his to take last week, and he made the direct challenge to Bronson, who accepted! Now, the two are set to fight for the championship in a match that has been highly-anticipated!
Jake Mercer: Definitely can’t wait for that! But I guess if Bronson somehow manages to luck out again – which is unlikely – at least we have some fun matches that can make the hurt sting less!
Flannery McCoy: Well, at least you’re right on that end. Dynasty never disappoints. We have the re-emergence of Vakyrie, now known as Taylor Vanity as she takes on Cody Maverick! NOVA faces off against Sorn, and Joso will take on MITSU, who has grown to have a cutthroat side to him since he became a part of KAI-ZEN! The Interwire Champion Jay Jerry Johnson takes on Komatsu Ogawa, Hans Grayson defends his championship against Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor, Milli Banks and Rory Slate try to co-exist just like Bea Valentine and Delilah Rose as they face off in tag-team action, and a REVOLT! rivalry is renewed as Ms. Extreme takes on Sienna Jade!
Stew-O: So much to look forward to, that’s for sure!
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes hits, and the fans jump to a stand, cheering wildly.)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE ARE, STARTING THINGS OFF WITH LIMMY MONAGHAN! WOW! CONSIDERING THE ATTACK HE ENDURED LAST WEEK, IT’S A SURPRISE HE’S EVEN HERE!
Jake Mercer: LIMMYYDYHEDHEHCBCFBHFBVBRVRGVJEJGVGBHKEBGHETBRVI!!!!!!!!!
(Limmy Monaghan comes out, noticeably walking slower. One hand has a microphone while the other rests gingerly on the side of his stomach.)
Flannery McCoy: Still feeling the affects of the attack, though. :lupe: All of those injuries had to have been exacberated thanks to KAI-ZEN!
(Limmy pushes on though, and he walks up the steps before entering the ring. The fans chant his name. Most of the time, he’d smile, but he is far from being happy. He sighs once his theme fades. Raising the microphone up, he gets straight to business.)
Limmy Monaghan: Last week, I was involved in something I never even thought could happen to me. Since losing the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, I came to a crossroads filled with confusion and uncertainty. I’ve been trying to find some sign, a guide, or anything that could point me to my next destination. At least I had the faintest desire to become a world champion again. However, other than that? I was lost and stuck in a limbo of mixed, muddled feelings. Territorial Invasion was at least supposed to help make things more straightforward for me. My path should’ve been far clearer after War Games with myself, Myles, and Kassidy winning.
Limmy Monaghan: I thought that would bring me one step closer away from the purgatory I had been consumed by since Reckless Wiring. Instead, that step forward on my part was rendered useless. I thought that things would be more certain for me. Instead, whatever clarity I sought to have never came. Before I knew it, I was attacked. Blindsided. A rush of figures came out and laid me out before I could even get the chance to defend myself.
(Limmy’s hand goes to his rib.)
Limmy Monaghan: KAI-ZEN stood in the way of me gaining my clarity.
(Hearing the stable’s name, the fans boo. Limmy shakes his head.)
Limmy Monaghan: All week long, I’ve been replaying the attack in my mind, trying to make sense of it. What was the end goal? What were they trying to accomplish? Why me? Questions only led to more questions springing up, and it nearly drove me mad. I was going in circles with myself. This group has made it their mission to go after anyone to make a statement, and I am now a part of that. They targeted me. They set their crosshairs on me, and at least last week, they successfully pulled the trigger. I was hurt. I couldn’t do much. They could carry out their mission statement of dominance at my expense, and who knows? Maybe they have more names outlined on their list of who to take out next. They want the awe and shock so that the whole world can pay attention to them. For one night, they were able to do just that…
(Limmy then raises a finger.)
Limmy Monaghan: … but that was just for one night.
Limmy Monaghan: KAI-ZEN stunned the world, leaving it breathless last Friday. However, they failed to leave me breathless. I may be uncertain about many things now at this point in my career, but the one thing I am sure about is that I am no one’s victim. I am not an exclamation point you can add to your sentence. I am not the catalyst for your quest for dominance. I am certainly not the kind of person who will move on from such an attack. I’ve already been subjected to the hunger and desperation of other Elitists who sought to build or redefine their legacies by attempting to take me out. Yet, I remain standing on my own two feet in spite of it all. Many have tried to knock me down, but not a single one of them has been able to keep me there. I’m going to exemplify that point one way or another, and trust me, I don’t plan on waiting too long to do that. I’m coming straight after them.
Limmy Monaghan: I may no longer be a champion, but that does not mean those who seek to target me will get an easy kill. I am not here to be a stepping stone or a message carrier. I am here to be at the top as the Czar of Dynasty. If you come for the head, then you best not miss, but so far, KAI-ZEN slipped up when they pulled that metaphorical trigger. They forgot to ensure that there was no way that I would come back. The initial surprise was fine, even cute, but now? I’m coming to repay the favor to them. I don’t take this sort of thing lightly. I’ve had times when my career or livelihood was threatened, so I’ll be damned if those four think they can get away with trying to do the same thing to me. And once I’m through, then I’ll get my clarity. The road to reclaiming my glory will be easier to tread on.
Limmy Monaghan: So, if I have to go through KAI-ZEN in order to get that? So be it. I’ll come after them many times over if it means that I can finally break out of this stagnation and can be free yet again. In fact… why don’t they come out right now?
Limmy Monaghan: Forget the games and attacks. If you guys are serious about coming after me, then the least you can do is step up to me correctly.
(The fans cheer, firmly behind Limmy.)
Stew-O: Passionate words there from Monaghan! He isn’t going to let that attack go unnoticed!
Jake Mercer: Oh gosh, I just hope my king knows what he’s doing! KAI-ZEN has been a threat ever since they came to EAW. I have a feeling that they are far different from the usual, overly ambitious-groups of the past. There is a genuine purpose behind every action they have taken thus far!
Flannery McCoy: You’re right, Jake. We know that Limmy is as headstRong as can be, but he’ll need to be careful! KAI-ZEN has taken many people already by surprise–
(Suddenly, a laugh can be heard.)
Crowd: ???
(Confusion riddles the face of everyone in the arena. However, as the fans look around and see the titantron, they start to boo. Limmy’s attention shoots up to the screen.)
Stew-O: OH MY! IT’S RICKY!
(The man of the hour is seen sarcastically clapping his hands. He shakes his head, laughter quelling into a snarky chuckle.)
Ricky: Oh, Limmy, that’s just like you, isn’t it? Carrying on with all of that determination. If only it didn’t waver during your last title defense as champion.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Limmy’s eyes narrow.)
Limmy Monaghan: Where are you guys?
Ricky: Us? We’re already focused on the next ‘target,’ Mr. Monaghan. When I said that KAI-ZEN was going to come to everyone, I meant it. It’s no fun collecting just one trophy, after all. With the talent as deep as it is here in EAW, there are plenty to choose from, don’t you think? Our plan stretches far beyond just simple domination. We’re coming for everything.
Limmy Monaghan: Is that so? And I’m included in that?
Ricky: Of course. My guys already have the whole world’s attention, just like you said, after they laid you out. However, you are just a piece of the puzzle we’re creating. A mighty fine piece, granted, given all that you have accomplished, but this notion of revenge you seem to be caught up in? It’s not going to happen. Even if it did, it would be completely and utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Limmy Monaghan: Oh, yeah? Then how about your men actually come out here and make it seem irrelevant instead of lurking in the shadows? Do you guys think you’re intimidating at all? You may have put people like me on notice, but trust me, that isn’t a good thing for you at all.
Ricky: My, my. Someone sure is feisty, aren’t they? Trust me, if we had more time, I’d let them run wild and put you down over and over again. However, plans are already in motion for us to continue conquering the rest of the roster, Mr. Monaghan. Those cannot be halted by you all because you left yourself wide open for us. But don’t worry, ‘Czar’ – at least you finally get to rest a bit for once, hm?
(Ricky smirks. Limmy’s eyes instantly go back to his damaged ribs. His hand clenches into a fist.)
Limmy Monaghan: There won’t be any rest until I get my hands on the rest of KAI-ZEN. They may not be here, but that doesn’t mean I won’t come after them.
Ricky: Oh? Well then. If you want to jump into the deep end and sacrifice your career for us, then do so. This won’t be a game you’ll win, though. We’ll come out on top, and Dynasty will experience change through our hands.
(Ricky grins and waves goodbye.)
Ricky: You’d only delay the inevitable, Limmy. Nothing more.
(The feed on the titantron then goes off. Limmy stares on in slight confusion.)
Stew-O: That didn’t sound good whatsoever.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, um, I’m a bit nervous. Scared, even. Ricky sounds like he means business.
Flannery McCoy: I have a bad feeling. However, Ricky is gone now… but for how long? Sounds like KAI-ZEN is intent on picking out more targets if we were to go by what he said.
(The fans are all worried as well, trying to piece together what Ricky meant. Limmy, dissatisfied, drops the microphone out of frustration. He takes a deep breath before Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial is shown for House of Glass.)
(Dynasty returns as we start of the first match of the night, Stephie Love being ready to start announcing it.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Lord Knows” by Drake ft. Rick Ross hits the speakers as Cody Maverick makes his way over to the stage. He throws some shadow punches to fire himself up before continuing his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Las Vegas, Nevada… Weighing in at 235 pounds… He is the “Sin City Superstar”… CODDYYYYYYY MAVERIIIIIICKKKKK!!
Stew-O: Cody had a streak going for himself until last week, when he lost inside of a 6-man tag match against newly debuted faction “KAI-ZEN”. Tonight, he is looking to turn that loss around and continue his streak in singles matches.
Jake Mercer: I think he’ll be doing just that. This man used to be a boxer. I’m sure we all figured that the reason he lost last week wasn’t because of him, but because his teammates were simply not as good as him. Cody absolutely was the star of that team.
Flannery McCoy: Whatever you say, Mercer! As long as he keeps his eyes on the goal, he has a chance at getting the victory that he didn’t get last week! Because his opponent is equally looking to get a win right now!
(After Cody’s theme fades out, “Something Real” by Post Malone fills the arena instead as Taylor Vanity makes her way to the stage. She strikes a pose before she continues down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent… From Lakewood, California… Weighing in at 129 lbs… “The Valkyrie”… TAAAYLOOOOOOOOOR VANITYYYYYYYY!!
Jake Mercer: As opposed to Cody looking for redemption, this Elitist right here is looking to get started! She’s up for an uphill battle against someone who has been as dominant as Cody Maverick!
Stew-O: She exudes a lot of confidence herself, so maybe this won’t be as easy for Maverick as he may think. Never underestimate someone making their debut match, because sometimes it’s those Elitists that are the most explosive.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: The bell rings as both Elitists quickly take a fighting stance. You can see the boxing influence in that stance by Cody, bawling his fists already. Taylor opting for a more traditional wrestling stance as they both start to circle each other whilst slowly coming closer and closer to each other. They are looking to start the match slow so they can save some stamina for later. Both of them are challenging the other to a lock-up, so it’s no shock that they end up in a power struggle between each other.
Stew-O: Cody seems to be getting the advantage, outpowering his opponent and pushing her towards the ropes. He bounces Vanity off of them and tosses her towards the other side of the ring. She bounces off the second set of ropes, running back towards the Sin City Superstar as he throws a massive clothesline to start off the match. Taylor ducks it and keeps her momentum going as she runs to the ropes again. This time Cody is able to catch her off the rebound into a sudden sidewalk slam!
Jake Mercer: Being able to quickly adapt to counter attempts from your opponents is just one of the many reasons that Cody has been able to remain so dominant throughout his stay here in EAW so far! But we shouldn’t really be shocked about his dominance. If you have been following his career, you would know that in the first promotion he ever wrestled in, his second match was against their main champion and he beat him after throwing a singular punch!
Stew-O: Whether that happened or not, he isn’t thinking about that himself right now. Instead, he is thinking about victory as he picks up Taylor Vanity and uses an Irish Whip to get her in the corner. He walks over to her and starts stomping away at her abdominal region, trying to weaken the midsection and make her stamina deplete faster.
Flannery McCoy: The punishment seems to come to an end as the referee counts to 3. But Cody doesn’t get her out of that corner just yet as he lifts her up and puts her on the second rope. Taylor is in a bad position here in her debut match, but you never know. Things might turn around. Maverick is looking to make sure things don’t turn around at all as he puts the legs of Vanity outside of the ropes and ascends to the second rope himself. He hooks the head of the Valkyrie under his arm before putting her arm over his head. He grabs the tights and is looking for a Superplex!
Jake Mercer: He doesn’t get to hit it just yet as his opponent starts to hit him in the gut with some right hands, stopping the Superplex dead in its tracks. Maverick loses his grip on his opponent as she starts striking the side of his head with equally powerful right hands that she gave to his gut. Cody stumbles backwards as he lands on his feet after falling from the ropes. He tries to run back to Vanity. But before he can, Taylor extends her leg to kick him in the face to send him right back to where he came from. She makes her way to the inside of the second ropes before diving off and hitting a second rope Diving Back Elbow! She scrambles into the cover!
OOONNNEEEEEE!
TW-
Flannery McCoy: Cody Maverick kicked out of that one with authority! It’s like he wanted to make a statement with it that you can’t just beat him with any regular old move! But Taylor seems to have taken that message as she mounts him and starts punching away at the head of her opponent. But he is to block them! That’s the boxing background coming into play, knowing how to punch while not getting punched. Cody is able to turn this around as he is now mounted on the Valkyrie and starts hitting his own punches!
Jake Mercer: Look at the power behind those punches. That can knock the lights out of anyone if he chooses to do so! Taylor should be speaking of crazy luck that she isn’t out cold right now.
Stew-O: It’s funny you say that she isn’t actually out cold right now as she catches a punch and returns the favor with a nasty slap across the face of the Sin City Superstar! That forces him to get off of her as he stands back up and holds his left cheek. Taylor crawls towards the ropes and pulls herself up. Cody sees this as he charges at her and connects a massive kitchen sink knee to the gut of his opponent! He grabs her arm and goes for an Irish Whip to send her to the other side of the ring to bounce off the ropes. Vanity catches herself and holds onto the ropes!
Jake Mercer: She manages to outsmart a genius of his craft like Cody Maverick! Taylor now runs at her opponent that is still caught off-guard from the fact that she didn’t bounce off the ropes like he expected her to do. She attempts a clothesline, but he manages to duck it last second. She runs towards the ropes, it seems like she wants to hit the move anyway. Instead of that she runs right into the Sin City Superstar, who grabs her by the legs and lifts her up to turn around and slam her back down with one of the company’s nastiest Spinebusters that he calls Deep End! He scurries into that pinfall, looking for an early victory!
OOOONNEEEEEEE!
TWWOOOOOOOO!
TH-
Stew-O: Taylor manages to kick out however! She manages to stay in the match and gets another chance at redemption! Although she’ll have to respond immediately with something because Cody is already back on the attack as he picks her up and starts laying in some punches to the body as he combines different types punches to get through her defense.
Flannery McCoy: He’s got her backed up in that corner right now, nowhere to go for Taylor Vanity as the cornered punches keep raining in! Again, Maverick is forced to stop the assault due to the referee’s count out. He walks away from the corner as his opponent slowly stumbles towards the middle of the ring. Cody spots her as he prepares to spin around. He does and follows that by nailing her with a vicious Discus Punch to the jaw of the Valkyrie, flooring her.
Jake Mercer: That’s the power and dominance that I have been talking about this entire match. Something unmatched by most of the Elitists we have seen throughout the history of this company. With her floored, he continues being dominant as he approaches her head and locks in a standard headlock, looking to to take it slower again because this match turned very explosive really quickly. He’s looking to preserve his own stamina whilst taking away the oxygen tank of hus opponent.
Stew-O: But don’t count out Vanity. She’s fighting back already as she starts throwing punches towards the side of her opponent’s head. Every single punch making the hold loosen more and more. She slips out and starts to toll towards the ropes on the other side of the ring to pull herself up. At the same time, Cody holds his head as he pulls himself up with the ropes as well. They look at each other as they are both up. Taylor and Maverick are staring each other down as both are looking to walk out this match victorious but can’t seem to get the other down for good.
Jake Mercer: Both of them approach each other but it’s Taylor who strikes the former boxer first! She lands a nasty forearm that staggers her opponent. But Cody isn’t stunned for long as he responds with a nasty forearm of his own, opting to take a more professional wrestling-esque approach to the striking game. Vanity, after stumbling back, strikes with back with one of her own. It seems they are trading blows because Maverick responds with kne himself! They both keep responding to each other with forearms!
Stew-O: The strike exchange seems to be never-ending! Althought the strikes do keep slowing down as Cody and Taylor both start to show signs of fatigue. The final blows of this exchange between them have started as Cody starts to stumble as he attempts to remain standing. He manages to catch himself and strikes his opponent! But she isn’t much better off either. She is also stumbling, barely remaining on her feet. She manages to push through the struggle and land the forearm!
Flannery McCoy: Cody stumbles backwards and bounces against the ropes, which helps him walk back towards his opponent in order to go for another forearm! But this time it’s ducked by Vanity, sending Maverick falling to his knee and breathing heavily after those strikes knocked the wind out of noth of them. Although for Taylor, she seems to have gotten a big boost of energy as she runs towards the ropes and bounces off of them. Cody gets back up but right he does that Hangline to the back of the head connects by Taylor Vanity! She shoots the half into the cover!
OOOONNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!!
THHHRRR-
Jake Mercer: Cody kicks out again! He hangs in this! To put him down, you’ll have to pull out way more than one of your big guns. To beat Maverick, you need the biggest of big guns that you can find! And even then it may not be enough! It seems that Taylor hears me however, because after that kickout she is eyeing that top rope and that means only one thing. She is looking to go for that Reverse Spiral Tap that she used over the whole world to finish of opponents. She gets up and ascends to the top rope!
Stew-O: She leaps off the top rope but nobody is home to feel the impact of the move! Instead of Cody Maverick laying there, he manages to roll out of the way! Although this isn’t as bad as you might think for Vanity, because she manages to land on her feet and do a front roll to soften the blow. She gets back to her feet but right as she turns around and starts running straight at the Sin City Superstar. However, instead of that being good for her, whatever attack she is planning on is gettinf intercepted as Cody leaps up in the air and punches her right to the jaw with that signature Lights Out!
Jake Mercer: That’s a punch like I know only Cody Maverick can throw one! And it is one that allows him to recover whilst Vanity is too hurt to stop him. Maverick is taking some deep breaths as he is hunched over whilst stalking the Valkyrie. Taylor is holding her jaw as she very slowly but surely grips onto the ropes to start making her way to her feet. Cody grabs her as she is on her knees and drags her to the middle of the ring! He hooks in the Half Nelson and grabd her leg! He lifts her up right into that HIGH ROLLER!!!!
OOOONNNNEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOO!!
THHRRRREEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner…. He is the “Sin City Superstar”… COOOOOODYYYYYY MAAAAAVERIIIIIIICK!
Jake Mercer: What did I tell you? I told you all he was dominant and he showed that tonight by winning in such fashion against his opponent. Cody Maverick is one of the future’s biggest stars and I will stand by that for the rest of time!
Stew-O: I feel like this was nothing short of a great back-and-forth bout between two Elitists that certainly have a bright future ahead of them. Although the familiarity with the EAW ring managed to give Cody Maverick the edge to win this, you can’t say that Taylor Vanity didn’t impress every single one of us with how she was able to carry herself against that man.
Flannery McCoy: Hard fought victory by Cody Maverick, for sure. He earned another positive number being added to his record and he deserved to walk away with his theme song blasting through the speakers tonight. He gave it his all and it payed it off.
Jake Mercer: When doesn’t he brings his all?
(Cody Maverick held his neck as he raised his other arm to celebrate another victory being added to the singles streak he has been on. Taylor would hold her head as she slowly rolled towards the ropes so she could pull herself into a sitting position whilst leaning against them. The camera faded back to Maverick who had a smile on his face as he started to walk over to the backstage area as the scene faded out.)
(A commercial is shown for Teremana Tequila and Hot Pockets featuring Jake Smith.)
(Dynasty returns from break and cuts down to the ring where Stephie Love is standing by.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… ‘The Process’… JAKE SMITH!
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Midboi Carti begins to pump through the speakers, bringing the fans to their feet. They give the former multi-time champion a warm reaction and Jake Smith is all smiles as he walks out from behind the guerilla curtain.)
Stew-O: Jake Smith is making his way to the ring and while he seems to be calm and relaxed, the situation he finds himself in with Andre Walker is anything but that.
Jake Mercer: Yeah! The actual audacity of this man to attack ‘The Kaiser’ is beyond even my insanely high comprehension!
Flannery McCoy: :cmon: You do realize that Andre started this by putting Jake on the shelf to begin Season 17, right?
Jake Mercer: That was just business!
Flannery McCoy: And Jake had every right to strike back the way he did.
Stew-O: And he struck back in a big way back at Territorial Invasion by interrupting the match between Andre and Joso. Jake made his intentions clear. He wants the chance to make Andre Walker pay for his actions. Beating Ronan last week definitely won’t be enough for someone like Jake.
(As he is in the ring now, a more serious expression has crossed Jake’s face. Before exiting, Stephie had given him the microphone and now Jake found himself alone. His music had started to fade out, which left him hearing the sold-out crowd loud and clear. They were fully behind him and he appreciated that. After a moment, Jake finally raised the microphone and made sure his first words tonight were heard loud and clear.)
Jake Smith: I’m done waiting for Andre Walker.
(The audience couldn’t help but agree. They might not be overly fond of the man himself, but they certainly wanted to see him make an appearance tonight.)
Jake Smith: I had a feeling he wouldn’t show his face last week, hence me coming to the arena more than prepared. Watching Cy fuck with Ronan is hilarious and I doubt he tries to meddle in my business right now. It goes without saying that I never expected to make my Season 17 in-ring debut in the middle of September. Being forced to start my season on IR thanks to Andre and his greed was about as humbling as losing the Answers World Championship at Pain for Pride to Adam Lucas. Two setbacks like that, literally back to back, isn’t something I wanted to deal with, not to mention the stupid bullshit that was splashed across social media that I was forced to see on what was literally a daily basis. Coming to Dynasty was the fresh start I was looking for but other people had their own plans, I guess. I’m not happy with being used as a pawn in Andre’s game with Chris Elite, but it’s not like I can go back in time. Trust me, I sat and I stewed for weeks over how this went down, which is why I decided to strike at Territorial Invasion.
(The serious look Jake was sporting switched into a smirk as he thought about what went down a couple of weeks ago.)
Jake Smith: It’s no secret that I want a match against Andre and it’s bullshit he can’t be fucked to show his face. Typical Andre, though. He comes and goes as he pleases and assumes the world revolves around him. Soon or later, he’s going to show his face and get the reality check he deserves. I’ve been through way too much to be intimidated by a douchebag like Andre Walker, hence me letting it be known that I want Andre at House of Glass.
(The crowd certainly approved of this. So much so, their cheers were deafening. But just as quickly as those cheers started, they changed. Pretty soon, all that could be heard were boos.)
??? (off-camera): Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Smith.
(The audience immediately started to jeer louder which was music to the ears of the legendary Albert Hitchman. He flashed a leering smile at the crowd, who didn’t care to see him at all.)
Albert Hitchman: You would think that someone in your position wouldn’t bark up this tree, but here you are.
Jake Smith: My position?
Albert Hitchman: You were a sacrifice for ‘The Kaiser’, and it was never meant to be anything more than that. Andre needed to let Chris Elite know he was serious about obtaining the Gawd Contract, so we opted to use you as an example. You can understand the concept of business being business, I’m sure, so that leaves me to wonder why you’re taking this so personally?
Jake Smith: I lost months of my career thanks to your client.
Albert Hitchman: In retrospect, you only missed out on two marquee live events, and you made the grave mistake of making sure you were a part of one of those. There was no logical reason for you to interfere in Andre’s business with Joso, and ‘The Kaiser’ isn’t happy about that.
Jake Smith: If he’s so unhappy about my decision to get involved, then why isn’t here right now, doing something about it?
Albert Hitchman: Jake, Jake, Jake… (Albert audibly sighed). That isn’t how this works. You don’t have the right to make demands of Andre Walker, nor does he operate on your time. When and if Andre decides to address you, it will be on his terms and not before. Quite frankly, as pissed off as Andre is with you, he doesn’t really feel like he needs to face you.
(Unable to help himself, Jake rolled his eyes.)
Jake Smith: Let me guess. A simpleton like me just isn’t worth his time!
Albert Hitchman: At least you’re smarter than you look. The fact of the matter is, you should be satisfied with your victory over Ronan last week. As unfortunate as it was to see your hand raised, that result simply can’t be taken away from you. Ronan Malosi is an associate of Andre’s, so you should be satisfied. As far as we’re concerned, meaning Andre and myself, the score has been settled. Move on, Jake. If you continue to pursue this, it will not end well for you.
Jake Smith: I’ve been underestimated my entire career, Albert, and I’ve built myself a Hall of Fame resume. I’m a Triple Crown champion and not even your client can brag about that. Beating someone like Ronan, who has a total of three wins this season :mjlol:, isn’t what I call an even score. I call that a routine victory because who hasn’t defeated Ronan at this point? Andre might carry himself with this ‘untouchable’ aura, but I’m not intimidated by that in the slightest. I will get Andre in the ring, one way or another, and when I do, I’m going to beat him. I’m not here to play around or sit on my hands, or whatever. I’m here to continue building my legacy. I’m here to make Dynasty ‘The Jake Smith Show’.
(Albert’s dark eyes filled with sorrow.)
Albert Hitchman: I’m not going to give you another warning, Jake. Consider yourself even with Andre Walker.
Jake Smith: No.
(That’s when the audience shot to their feet!)
Flannery McCoy: BEHIND JAKE! THERE’S RONAN MALOSI!
Stew-O: RONAN IS LOOKING FOR ‘HUNGER ON THE HILLSIDE’ BUT JAKE WHIRLS AROUND AND IS ABLE TO LEAP FROG OVER RONAN! RONAN HITS THE BRAKES AND STRAIGHTENS UP BUT HERE COMES JAKE!
Jake Mercer: CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE! RONAN HITS THE GROUND! HE BASICALLY LANDS AT ALBERT’S FEET AND THIS CROWD IS FIRED UP!
(Inside the ring, Jake snatched the microphone up that he had dropped while thwarting Ronan’s attack.)
Jake Smith: If Andre Walker isn’t at Dynasty next week, I’ll go looking for him and drag his ass into this ring!
(And with that, Jake dropped the microphone and raised his hands in the air.)
Flannery McCoy: JAKE SMITH IS FIRED UP! He made his intentions perfectly clear tonight. He wants Andre Walker… and he wants him at HOUSE OF GLASS!
Stew-O: But with ‘The Kaiser’ nowhere to be seen, will Jake’s challenge get answered? It looks like he might be leaving Dynasty tonight without getting what he wants, but next week? Who even knows!
Jake Mercer: We operate on Andre’s time😤! Jake Smith might be a former Answers World Champion, but Andre Walker is HIM! When and if he decides to answer Jake Smith, it will be when he’s ready.
(For once, Jake Mercer was right. Andre Walker was the type of athlete that marched to the beat of his own drum, and now with something as illustrious as the Gawd Contract in his possession, he had more right to do that than ever before. Judging from the look on Jake’s face, he likely knew that as well. He was pissed off, screaming at Ronan and Albert, and demanding that Andre show his face.)
(However, for now, it wasn’t to be. With the fans cheering on Jake and his theme song blasting across the speakers, the Californian had to watch as Ronan and Albert retreated up the ramp. Ronan, looking frustrated he wasn’t able to spear Jake right on out of the ring, and Albert… well Albert had a mischievous glint in his eyes and a smirk on his face.)
(A final shot is shown of Jake as Dynasty fades to a commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for Spider-Man 2 featuring Chris Elite.)
(Back from the break, Stephie Love is in the ring. She smiles and raises her microphone, ready to proceed with the next match of the night.)
Stephie Love: The following match is scheduled for one fall…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The eerie arena lights dim as “Sunkiller” begins to play, accompanied by haunting chimes. Smoke fills the entrance ramp as NOVA emerges from the darkness. He walks deliberately, gliding towards the ring with an aura of mystique, occasionally stopping to stare at the audience with his intense gaze.)
Stephie Love: “INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM PARTS UNKNOWN…WEIGHTING IN AT 190 POUNDS…NOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVAAAAAA!”
Jake Mercer: This man means business tonight. If I were SORN, I would be praying twice, maybe even three times before coming out here.
Flannery McCoy: His entrance is very intimidating, but just because he comes out like that doesn’t mean that he is guaranteed a win. NOVA has shown what he can do, but his efforts have seen mixed results so far. He’s going to have to bring it tonight.
Stew-O: Well, I hope that Sorn has a lot of confidence in himself, because he’s going to need all of it right now. NOVA has shown potential in being a force to be reckoned with.
(As NOVA waited in the ring, his music began to fade, and “Rain” by VKL began to play and Sorn stepped out to the stage looking as confident as ever. Walking down to the ring with a stride.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM OSAKA, JAPAN…WEIGHTING IN AT 167 POUNDS…SOOOOOOOORRRRRRRNNNN!
Flannery McCoy: You talk about confidence, and he seems to have a lot of it as he makes his way to the ring. Just look at his face! Sorn is reaady to go. Just like NOVA, he has shown some promise, but there are still some missing pieces he needs to find to put together and find some tangible success here in EAW. Will he be able to find the rest of them here tonight against an equally determined NOVA?
Jake Mercer: He isn’t backing down, that’s for sure! He is ready to take the fight to NOVA and who knows – maybe he’ll be able to get that big win he needs!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: Sorn comes out of the corner- RUNNING DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST OF SORN, SENDING HIM BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER! Not even getting a footing in this match, he got that smirk knocked off his face really fast. NOVA, not letting up, picks Sorn up by the head and quickly drops them on his back with a SNAP SUPLEX! Nova is moving a mile a minute, there is no letting up on this poor man.
Jake Mercer: Maybe you needed a bit more confidence to win this— SLINGSHOT CUTTER! CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE CONNECTS! SENDING SORN TO THE GROUND! Come on, at least give him a chance to breathe, this can not be legal.
Stew-O: Completely legal, and this match is could very well be over! NOVA hooks him by the arms and lifts him up! STORMBREAKER! Sorn is OUT! NOVA WASTES NO TIME HOOKING THE LEG, GETTING THE LATERAL PRESS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…NOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVAAAAAA!
Flannery McCoy: What a dominant victory! I would say Sorn tried but I don’t know if he could have even started with that string of offense. An unfortunate outcome for Sorn, but NOVA gets to pick up one of the most decisive victories of his career yet! This could be what he needed to finally get the ball rolling on his side!
Jake Mercer: You know what they say, a strong offense is a great defense. Great job NOVA, you know that is going to make a statement in the locker room!
Stew-O: And you know that’s going to leave a mark on Sorn’s nose. :lupe: Hopefully, Sorn himself won’t take the loss harshly and will grow from it.
(The referee raised NOVA’s hand, who was barely breaking a sweat after the matchup. Sorn was face down on the mat, unresponsive. As the scene fades on Nova standing over his opponent after a dominating performance.)
(Dynasty fades backstage inside the office of Tyrone Montgomery. He’s seated by his desk, reviewing some emails he was part of, along with Kensingten and Richard. He shakes his head and sighs, frustration knitting his brows together. Eventually, he pulls himself away from the screen.)
Tyrone Montgomery: What am I going to do with those two?
(Muttering to himself, the general manager slinks back into his chair. It isn’t until a few firm knocks on the door brings him to sit back up. He clears his throat, trying to settle his annoyance.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Come on in—
(BAM!!!)
Tyrone Montgomery: !!!
(Tyrone’s eyes widen, heart skipping fast as he damn near jumped out of his seat! The door swings wildly open, clashing against the office wall. On the other end? Chris Elite.)
Chris Elite: You and I got some talking to do.
Tyrone Montgomery: What, is this about me nearly cutting you off earlier? I already said in the car I was sorry! The traffic here in Delhi is insane. :lupe:
Chris Elite: That too, but that’s not even the worst of it when it comes to me and you.
Tyrone Montgomery: Wait, what..?
(Confusion takes hold of his face. However, it vanishes when Chris steps in and makes a bee-line straight for him.)
Chris Elite: Don’t act dumb with me, bro. You KNOW why I’m here.
(The anger brimming from Chris is enough to make anyone frightful. However, upon examining him, the gears in Tyrone’s head started to click.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Oh, the whole situation with the reward.
Chris Elite: Yeah, duh. Glad to see you realized that, genius. I hope you didn’t think that I was gonna let those two bozos talk to me any way they feel like and not take issue with it.
Tyrone Montgomery: I know, I know, and I get that, Chris. Perhaps Richard and Kensingten shouldn’t have been as… abrasive as they were last week.
(Tyrone’s eyes nervously shift to his fingers tapping on the desk.)
Tyrone Montgomery: However, I can assure you that you will be given something else to compensate for—
Chris Elite: Nah, nah, nah. Ain’t no “compensate”. I want a title match. It’s as simple as that.
(Chris frowns. Tyrone takes a deep breath, carefully thinking out his next set of words.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Trust me, Chris, I understand your frustrations. However, I cannot abide by that request. It is out of my hands.
Chris Elite: What?
Tyrone Montgomery: I won’t be able to give you a title match. That doesn’t mean that you won’t be offered an opportunity later down the road! In fact, Chris, someone as illustrious as you don’t need to worry about that. Surely, there can be another match that can take place that will surely be of interest to yo—
(All of a sudden, Chris reaches forward and YANKS Tyrone by the collar of his shirt. Tyrone pauses. His cautious gaze meets up with Chris’ fury-filled one.)
Chris Elite: Bro, are you stupid?! I’m not gonna accept anything less than that! I earned that win at Territorial Invasion! Everyone should be rewarded! That’s how this usually goes! Ain’t no way I’m not gonna get a title match or at least some kind of acknowledgment when we all won in the main event and helped Dynasty dominate! I’ve been busting my ass day in and day out on this show ever since I came here and this is how I’m being treated?! That’s CRAZY!
Tyrone Montgomery: We’ll—
Chris Elite: And don’t even get me started on your punk ass! You really just let Kensingten and Richard run over you! They disrespected us and singled us out all because we’re black!
Tyrone Montgomery: Now, hang on, Chris, that’s—
Chris Elite: Tell me I’m lying. Go on. Look me dead in my eyes and say that I’m lying. Everyone else got their award aside from Drake, but at least with him, Kensingten was just being petty and hating hard. But me and SOSA? The hell did we do wrong? He and I put in the most work out of everyone on our team leading up to the event, but Kensingten and Richard wanna dick ride and talk about some “you’d squander your opportunities because you’re lazy”. Like as if I haven’t been keeping the energy up for months now!
(Chris’ grip on the shirt collar tightens.)
Chris Elite: But nah, because people here were so used to me last season when I was coasting by, I’m not worthy of getting rewarded. Now because I lost one match which was for the gawd contract, all of a sudden it’s screw Chris Elite, right? How does that make sense? How is that even fair? I’ve been the most motivated I have ever been in my career, helped my team out, and then those two dry, white wallpaper cacs wanna be on my nuts. You out here letting them treat you like a slave too when this was supposed to be YOUR show, not THEIRS.
(Tyrone grows quiet.)
Chris Elite: What you need is to grow some balls and show some pride for you people, but most importantly your own damn self. Stop letting them walk all over you. I don’t even know when you became so bitch made, but you are the head guy in charge of this show. However, with the way you’ve been acting lately, it’s hard to tell sometimes.
(Chris shakes his head and finally let’s go.)
Chris Elite: Not even Mr. DEDEDE was on me this bad. You deadass gotta get it together, because if they’re gonna straight up deny me and SOSA our rightfully earned title matches, imagine what they’re gonna do to the rest of the talent. I mean, damn, ain’t they having Bronson defend the title every other week now? I think they even called him a charity case, but they wanna be slick and let Hans defend weekly lately just so that people won’t call them out for it. That’s crazy. So, imagine what they’ll do in the next coming weeks or even months. Milli might get screwed over. Joso might get screwed over. I ain’t tryna be on no Malcolm Jones beat, but it’s clear they don’t like us, and they’re using their powers that you’re pretty much letting them get away with abusing handicap people like me who have been performing at a high level. And I’m a hall of famer! My spot in this promotion should be solidified, but right now, it doesn’t even feel like it!
(Chris sighs, placing his hands on the desk.)
Chris Elite: And imagine what they finna do with you. You keep letting them get away with that majority vote BS like this is kindergarten or something. You’re the boss. You’re supposed to lead this show. Stop letting them call you “boy”.
(Tyrone… actually listens intently. The look on his face was unmistakable, too. The past few months of drama and disrespect resurfaced in his mind. His mind wanders to the email chain he was just a part of as well. Nothing but complaints and moving the goalposts about his authority over Dynasty. It pissed him off to no end.)
(Seeing Tyrone, Chris realizes that his words were getting to him. His own anger starts to calm down.)
Chris Elite: You gotta do better, man. For yourself, for me, for people like us, and for the rest of the talent here on this show. Otherwise, Kensingten and Richard are gonna continue to push their weight around and everyone else is gonna suffer for it. You gotta get a handle on this. Use your Disney connections, reach out to someone above them, do what you gotta do so that they can get checked. At this point, if you gotta get them out of the way, then do that. Whether it’s one of them gone or even both of them, it don’t matter. Just do whatever you gotta do so that Dynasty doesn’t end up going down the drain, ’cause if you don’t? All hell is gonna break loose.
(Tyrone remains quiet for a moment, letting his words marinate. Then, he nods. Slowly. Thoughtfully.)
Tyrone Montgomery: … Thank you, Chris. I will take your words into serious consideration. I’ll… do my best to figure something out.
(Chris gives a nod of his own.)
Chris Elite: Alright, cool. Just don’t think about it for too long. Never know what can happen next.
(Tyrone smiles weakly.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I won’t. Now, uh, if you’ll excuse me, I just need a moment to myself.
Chris Elite: Yeah, yeah, cool, ain’t no problem with me. I think I got everything off my chest.
(Even if he didn’t get his title match, at least his words seemed to resonate with Tyrone. Chris turns and is about to head out of the office before his eyes wander to the small hole in the office wall. He cringes before he leaves.)
Stew-O: Well, that was quite the confrontation. However, it seems like Chris and Tyrone may have come to a mutual understanding. Kensingten and Richards’ controversial decision not to reward him or SOSA for their efforts has been met with varying reactions, and for Chris who has been directly affected by it, he isn’t going to let it slide.
Jake Mercer: Maybe if he asks Andre nicely, he’ll get a title match!
Flannery McCoy: I’m not so sure he’d be willing to make nice with someone who damn near ended the career of someone close to him, Jake. Besides, this issue goes deeper than just titles and accolades. Everyone has been picking up on the straight-up shady and downright offensive nature of Richard and Kensingten’s treatment of certain talent here!
Jake Mercer: Oh, if only we kept good ol’ Viz. He would’ve solved this issue. 😔
Stew-O: It is an uncomfortable thing we’re witnessing. :lupe:
(Chris closes the door behind him and sighs.)
Chris Elite: Somebody needs to whoop their asses. I swear.
(He walks, ready to head back to the locker room.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, let’s hope that Tyrone is able to sort this whole mess out. Chris did raise a good point. If someone like him who has accomplished just about everything here in EAW can be treated in that manner, imagine how the other talent here will fair? They could be presented with opportunities that are stripped right away from th—
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAACK!)
Stew-O: WAIT, WHAT THE HELL?! CHRIS ELITE GOT WHACKED IN THE BACK WITH A STEEL CHAIR! HE’S ON THE FLOOR, LETTING OUT AN AGONIZING SCREAM!! MY GOD!!
Jake Mercer: AND THERE ARE THREE MORE PEOPLE WHO JUST RUSHED IN, STOMPING DOWN HIM!!
Flannery McCoy: THEY’RE NOT JUST SOME WILD, MINDLESS HOOLIGANS EITHER! THEY’RE KAI-ZEN!!
Jake Mercer: OH CRAP, YOU’RE RIGHT! MITSU, MIG, SHINZO, AND PRINCE TOHRU ARE JUST BEATING THE ABSOLUTE STUFFING OUT OF CHRIS!! SO, WAIT, THAT MEANS—
Stew-O: THIS IS WHAT RICKY WARNED WAS GOING TO HAPPEN EARLIER! KAI-ZEN HAS SWARMED THE EAW HALL OF FAMER, AND HE IS COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS!!
(Mig and MITSU yank Chris up before sending him straight into the wall! He goes back first, gasping as he collapses to the floor. The other members come on in, with Prince Tohru driving his knee into the side of his head.)
Flannery McCoy: OH NO! CHRIS’ HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE WALL UPON TAKING THE IMPACT FROM THAT BRUTAL KNEE! HE’S SLUMPED DOWN!!
(The fans in the arena can be heard booing loudly. However, backstage, the work isn’t done. Chris is slipping in and out of consciousness, his head pulsating from the pain wracking it. He can barely make out the men as Shinzo comes forward, squatting down…)
Jake Mercer: Chris can’t do anything! He’s hurt! Shinzo leads him back up to his feet and grabs him! He hoists him up and into the air—
Stew-O: — JUST TO SEND HIM DOWN ONTO THE CHAIR WITH THAT WRIST CLUTCH EXPLODER!! CHRIS YELLS OUT IN PAIN!! WHERE IS SECURITY?! THIS IS INSANE!!
(Chris holds onto his back, almost ready to pass out from the crippling pain. The four men all look down at him and smirk. Soon, another man joins them…)
Flannery McCoy: And there he is! Ricky! This was all part of their plan!
(Ricky grins.)
Ricky: Don’t worry, ‘Unc’. You aren’t the only one we’re going after. You’re just one of many. Don’t take it personally.
(Ricky snickers before he starts to walk.)
Ricky: One of many, many more.
(Shinzo, Prince TOHRU, Mig and MITSU all follow behind Ricky. Soon, the medical team comes out, working hastily to tend to him. As they assist him, Dynasty fades back to ringside where the fans are still relentlessly booing, not liking what KAI-ZEN did. Stew-O, Jake and Flannery all look shocked.)
Flannery McCoy: “One of many, many more”? Does that mean they’re…
Jake Mercer: I believe so. Chris isn’t going to be the last one they go after. Not by a long shot!
Stew-O: It’s troubling. No one here on Dynasty is safe from the clutches of KAI-ZEN. They’re going after anyone here, and the more notoriety an Elitist has, the bigger the target they are for them. Hall of Famers, icons, former champions — everyone.
Flannery McCoy: … Jesus. This does not bode well for the rest of the talent here. I can only hope that they didn’t do too much damage to Chris. :Lupe:
Stew-O: It was a scary sight to witness. Given that KAI-ZEN’s MITSU I scheduled to compete next against Joso, it sure does get the anxiety skyrocketing. Joso is going to have to stay on guard here tonight.
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno would hit the speakers of the arena to an explosion of boos, as MITSU would begin to make his way out and onto the stage, with Ricky, and the rest of KAI-ZEN following shortly behind him. He looks to be focused here tonight, as he would then begin to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Accompanied to the ring by Ricky and KAI-ZEN, from Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds, he is The ‘GOLDEN DOYEN!!!!!!!’ MIIIIIIIIITSUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And here they are. The fans are NOT liking them whatsoever. Given their actions just moments ago, it’s not hard to see why.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, the way these fans are booing, an eardrum can burst! Wow! They are not happy at all! However, KAI-ZEN are as unbothered as they can be. MITSU is especially focused.
(Then, ‘Trophies’ by Drake would replace the speakers, the crowd then exploding into a frenzy of cheers, as Joso would slowly make his way out onto the stage. He looks towards the ring, counting the numbers that he is going to deal with tonight, as he would then make his way down tok the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Bronx, New York, weighing in tonight at 206 pounds, he is The ‘NEW ERA!!!!!!!!’ JOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU is focused, but so is Joso! Hopefully, that can help him out here, because otherwise, he could be essentially fighting a one-on-four bout here! We know he formed an alliance with Chris too, but with him hurt, that leaves him more vulnerable to whatever gameplan KAI-ZEN has in store here!
Stew-O: Joso doesn’t seem worried, though. He knows he has a fight ahead of him, and he’s ready to tackle it!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY, AND BOTH MEN EXPLODE OUT OF THEIR CORNERS, AND THEY AREN’T WAITING!!! These two are looking to prove themselves in more ways than one here tonight, with MITSU looking to prove to Joso that he is a threat, he is a challenge, and Joso looking to prove that he hasn’t lost a step since the beginning of this season, and it seems both men are taking their early frustrations out on each other!!
Flannery McCoy: FOREARMS BY JOSO! FOREARMS BY MITSU! JOSO CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT, DAZING MITSU… BUT MITSU SHOOTS RIGHT BACK WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE LEG! Joso stumbles away, as it looks like MITSU is going to overwhelm Joso over and into the corner early on within this match, as he starts to catch Joso with those corner spear thrusts, and Joso can’t protect himself!
Jake Mercer: Ever since the establishment of KAI-ZEN, MITSU has proven himself to be a force that should be feared, and he is showcasing early on within this match, as he quickly drags Joso out of the corner, irish whipping him off and into the ropes… BEFORE MITSU WOULD LEAP HIGH INTO THE AIR, CATCHING JOSO SQUARE ONTO THE JAW WITH A HUGE DROPKICK, DROPPING JOSO TO THE MAT! BUT MITSU ISN’T DONE, SHOOTING TO HIS FEET, BEFORE STABBING HIS ELBOW RIGHT INTO JOSO’S CHEST!
Stew-O: Joso is taken down early on in this match, and I don’t think MITSU is ready to let the pace slow down for a single second! He quickly picks him right back up to his feet, turning Joso’s back to face towards him, before he wraps his arms around Joso’s waist, AND MITSU LOOKS TO LAUNCH JOSO WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, ONLY FOR JOSO TO LAND ONTO HIS FEET! MITSU DOESN’T REALISE, AS HE TURNS AROUND RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU IS NOW DAZED, BUT HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET… EXCEPT, NOT ANYMORE; AS JOSO NAILS A SUPERKICK TO THE KNEECAP! THIS SENDS MITSU DOWN TO HIS KNEES… AND THEN A THIRD SUPERKICK FOR GOOD MEASURES!!! MITSU looks to be knocked out cold, but I don’t think Joso is done as he quickly shoots towards the ropes… AND HE SPRINGBOARDS FOR A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO MITSU!
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR MITSU TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY… BUT JOSO LANDS ON HIS FEET ANYWAYS, AND HE THROWS HIMSELF BACKWARDS; AND A STANDING MOONSAULT CONNECTS ONTO MITSU INSTEAD!!! MITSU lets out a huge gasp of agony from the standing moonsault, as Joso quickly pops right back up to his feet, pulling MITSU towards the center of the ring, and he drags him right back up, and he is staring right into the eyes of each and every single member of KAI-ZEN in the process of doing so…
Stew-O: AND JOSO PULLS MITSU INTO A FRONT SUPLEX LIFT, BEFORE TRANSITIONING OVER AND DROPPING MITSU RIGHT INTO THE MAT WITH THE CUTTER!!! ‘EXECUTIONER FROM HELL’ CONNECTS!!! MITSU is out cold, and Joso quickly rolls MITSU over and onto his back, before he hooks the leg to score a victory!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MITSU IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT FOR THE COUNT OF TWO! Joso thought that he was going to be able to put MITSU away already within this match, but it looks like he is going to need to do more than just that; and I am sure that is exactly what he is going to do. Joso pulls MITSU back up to his feet… AND HE NAILS A MASSIVE HEADBUTT STUNNING MITSU!
Jake Mercer: And MITSU stumbles backwards towards the ropes, before he falls through the middle, and he goes crashing down to the ringside area! But it looks like Joso isn’t going to give MITSU any time for breathing room, as he rushes towards the ropes, exiting out onto the apron as well, before dropping down to the ringside area, grabbing a hold of MITSU…, AND SENDING HIM RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE FULL FORCE AND FULL SPEED AHEAD!
Stew-O: MITSU crashes hard into the barricade, and it looks like Joso is going to attempt to follow up on the offense that he has right now… but look! Both Prince Tohru and Shinzo Sasaki get in the way of Joso, guarding MITSU off as he is getting checked on by Ricky, and Joso just throws his hands up into the air, backing off, as he turns his back… BUT MITSU SUDDENLY JUMPS TO HIS FEET, RUSHING PAST KAI-ZEN AND HE NAILS JOSO WITH A HUGE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE HE WASN’T PAYING ATTENTION!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU JUST CAUGHT JOSO RIGHT OFF GUARD! He quickly grabs a hold of him by the hair, throwing him into the ring before he would climb back up onto the apron, and Joso begins to stumble back up to his feet, dazed and confused as he turns around… AND MITSU SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE ROPES FOR A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK, TAKING JOSO RIGHT OFF OF HIS FEET, AND MITSU KIPS RIGHT BACK UP!
Jake Mercer: MITSU has taken control of this match much to the disliking of the crowd, as it looks like Joso is trying to crawl back up to his feet, crawling over towards the ropes to use them as a way to support himself getting back up, as he stumbles back… AND MITSU GOES TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM, BUT JOSO TWISTS HIS BODY AROUND AND CATCHES MITSU WITH A QUICK ENZIGURI KICK, MITSU DOESN’T DROP TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Joso scaggers back up to his feet, and he shoots himself off and into the ropes, REBOUNDING… ONLY FOR MITSU TO CATCH HIM, AND HE LIFTS HIM RIGHT INTO THE AIR, BEFORE HE DROPS JOSO INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE FLAPJACK!!!!! JOSO PLANTS INTO THE MAT, AND MITSU FLOATS OVER, QUICKLY GOING FOR THE COVER, AND HE LOOKS TO STEAL THIS VICTORY TONIGHT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT BY JOSO! KICK OUT BY JOSO! This match is not over, and MITSU does not look happy about that! You can tell that he is growing frustrated, but he quickly rolls over towards the ropes, as Ricky would lean up against the ropes and the apron, whispering something into MITSU’s ear to calm him down. MITSU looks to nod and approve of this, as Joso is slowly making it back up to his feet, but it looks like MITSU is looking to put an end to this match!
Jake Mercer: MITSU walks up to Joso… AND HE GRABS HIM INTO A RIPCORD POSITION!!! MITSU IS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL, AND HE TURNS JOSO FORWARD, AND HE GOES FOR ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION…’ BUT JOSO DUCKS UNDER THE LARIAT, AND HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR, TAKING MITSU DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A HUGE NECKBREAKER!!! MITSU crashes and burns into the mat, as Joso rolls back up to his feet!
Stew-O: Joso pulls himself back up with the help of the ropes, as MITSU starts to get back up as well… AND JOSO LOOKS TO STEP IN FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK… ONLY FOR MITSU TO BEAT HIM TO IT WITH A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN! JOSO CRUMBLES TO HIS KNEES, AND MITSU LOOKS TO GO FOR A SPINNING HEEL KICK, BUT JOSO DUCKS UNDER IT, POPPING BACK TO HIS FEET… AND HE CATCHES MITSU WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MITSU EATS THE GERMAN SUPLEX, AND IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH IT AS HE GETS RIGHT BACK TO HIS FEET, JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND STABBING HIS FEET RIGHT INTO JOSO’S CHEST WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! Joso is gasping for air right now, as MITSU quickly picks him right back up to his feet… AND IT LOOKS LIKE MITSU IS ATTEMPTING FOR ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’ ONCE MORE TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: But Joso gets out of it, twisting himself around… AND HE BRINGS MITSU INTO THE AIR FOR ‘GRATEFUL DEATH!!!’ HE GETS MITSU ONTO HIS SHOULDERS… BUT MITSU QUICKLY SLIPS OFF OF IT, WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND JOSO’S WAIST AS HE PUSHES HIM FORWARD INTO THE ROPES, AND HE LOOKS TO GO FOR A ROLLUP, BUT JOSO ROLLS THROUGH IT, FORCING MITSU ONTO HIS KNEES… AND A HUGE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY JOSO!
Stew-O: MITSU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND JOSO GOES SLIDING INTO A SEATED POSITION! MITSU pops right back up to his feet, shooting off of the ropes himself, AND LOOKS FOR A HUGE FRONT DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF JOSO’S SKULL, BUT JOSO POPS UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE CATCHES MITSU AS HE JUMPS INTO THE AIR WITH A HUGE LARIAT!!! MITSU is down and out, he is knocked out cold, and Joso gets back to his feet, ripping MITSU up as well, and he is looking to end this!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO END UP DOING EXACTLY THAT, PULLING MITSU INTO THE AIR, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER!!! ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’ CONNECTS; AND JOSO FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!!!!! JOOOOOOOOOOOSSS-
(Suddenly, all of KAI-ZEN would enter into the ring…)
Stew-O: OH COME ON!!!! JOSO HAD JUST GONE THROUGH A HARD FOUGHT WAR AGAINST MITSU, AND GOT THE RIGHTFUL VICTORY, AND NOW ALL THREE OTHER MEMBERS OF KAI-ZEN ARE GOING AFTER JOSO!!! MITSU GETS BACK TO HIS FEET… AND HE JOINS IN ON THE ATTACK! THIS ISN’T RIGHT, NOT AT ALL!!!
Flannery McCoy: Mig De Decker rips Joso right back up to his feet… AND HE SENDS JOSO RIGHT INTO PRINCE TOHRU WHO TURNS JOSO INSIDE OUT WITH A NASTY LARIAT!!!
Jake Mercer: AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHINZO SASAKI IS GOING TO GET HIS PIECE TOO, AS HE PULLS JOSO UP BACK UP… AND HE NAILS HIM WITH THE VERTICAL DROP BRAINBUSTER!!! ‘ENTERING THE DRAGON’ CONNECTS, AND-
(The crowd would then begin to cheer loudly, as Joso would begin to roll away and into the ropes, with KAI-ZEN looking towards the stage…)
Stew-O: WAIT! HERE’S LIMMY MONAGHAN!!! HE QUICKLY GETS INTO THE RING, AND PRINCE TOHRU RUNS STRAIGHT AT HIM, BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDER HIM, AND DROPS MIG DE DECKER WITH ‘DIABLE JAMBE!!!’ Limmy quickly rushes over towards Joso, and helps him up to his feet, while MITSU helps Mig back up to his feet, AND NOW IT’S 4 ON 2!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND THEY’RE ALL GOING AT IT! JOSO AND LIMMY ARE LOOKING TO STAND THEIR GROUND AGAINST KAI-ZEN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NUMBERS GAME IS A BIT TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO HANDLE… BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK ONTO MITSU, BUT MIG DE DECKER SHOOTS IN WITH A ROARING ELBOW TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: MEANWHILE LIMMY GOES FOR A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ ONTO TOHRU, BUT TOHRU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SHINZO NAILS A HUGE HEADBUTT!
(The fight wouldn’t continue for long, as Ricky would get up onto the apron. He starts shouting at KAI-ZEN to stop fighting a battle they didn’t need to at the moment, and they all obliged, quickly exiting out of the ring before Joso or Limmy could get back into a fray.)
Stew-O: Welp, it looks like KAI-ZEN are going to retreat for now, but it looks like there has been a statement made here tonight!
(Limmy Monaghan would drop down to his knees, as he crawled over to the still recovering Joso. He helps him up, as both men are left in the middle of the ring, while KAI-ZEN continues to back up the ramp, and the camera fades.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Michael Belfort in the interviewing area, holding an EAW-branded microphone in hand with a smile on his face, prepared to introduce the elitist he’s interviewing.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… Ryan Wilson.
(The camera zooms out, and Ryan Wilson strolls into the frame, receiving a positive ovation from the crowd in Delhi, India, causing him to smirk slightly. But ultimately, he remains all business, giving Belfort his full attention for the interview.)
Michael Belfort: Ryan, first of all, thank you for coming. Second, I’d like to switch matters into something more serious, which involves your former tag team partner, EAW Hall of Famer, Xander Payne.
(The crowd reign down with boos at the mere mention of Xander’s name, which both Ryan and Michael pick up on briefly, but Michael quickly picks his speech back up where it left off.)
Michael Belfort: Now, following Territorial Invasion, there was tons of buzz from our audience online, part of that being because of what Xander Payne did to you in the aftermath of his match with World Heavyweight Champion, Bronson Daniels, leaving you laying in the center of the ring, and actually being the reason you were carted out to a hospital that night, taking things a step further by laughing at your pain as well. And last week, he basically said that DOMINION was a waste of his time. My question to you is: do you feel the same way? Do you feel that DOMINION was also a waste of your time?
(Ryan cracks a smirk while thinking to himself before speaking up for his answer.)
Ryan Wilson: Absolutely… not. See, I have no regrets about DOMINION, unlike Xander, and the way I look at it is this. Everything I went through… was needed. It was needed for me to move forward, and to learn how to be better in the process, better as a person, and better as a wrestler. But of course, Xander doesn’t see it that way. Instead, Xander prefers to act like he wasted a year of his career teaming with me. But let’s not forget, I never originally wanted this team, that was Xander. Xander decided to lean on me, and attempt to make something happen, which admittedly, he didn’t have to. After all, Xander is a bigger star than me. There. I said it. I’m not delusional like some people in this company. I understand that he has more accomplishments, more name value, and as you mentioned earlier, is an EAW Hall of Famer. So, with that being said, maybe Xander felt that he was doing me a favor, that he was helping elevate me simply by being associated with him.
(Ryan scoffs.)
Ryan Wilson: But the truth is: I never needed Xander Payne. And Michael, this isn’t me being arrogant, this isn’t being cocky, this is me being one-hundred truthful with you and the EAW fans. I never needed Xander Payne, and I’ll tell you why that is. Say what you want about me, but you can’t take away the fact that I am one of the most resilient elitist to ever enter Elite Answers Wrestling, whether it be in the ring, or whether it be out the ring. I have been here for over six years now, and despite the lows, despite the trials, despite the tribulations I’ve faced in said amount of years, I have never given up.
(The crowd start clapping, getting behind Ryan as there’s clearly passion, along with truth behind what he’s saying.)
Ryan Wilson: And you know what? I’ll be DAMNED if that changes if that changes here, all because a group that Xander only used to boost his already gigantic ego turned out to be a bust, and now he can’t take credit for my success.
(Ryan shakes his head before taking a deep breath, calming himself down as he feels himself getting riled up slightly. Ryan begins speaking to Michael Belfort once more.)
Ryan Wilson: Look. I wish that DOMINION could have reached its full potential, I really do. I wish that we were able to win those Tag Team Titles off POTARA, I wish that we were able to beat Myles and Theron at Reckless Wiring, and I wish that we were able to elevate the entire wrestling scene as a whole, but thtat wasn’t meant to be. And contrary to Xander’s belief; it’s not because of me, it’s because HE has lacked the heart, and HE has the lacked the mind to be a benefit to this team. Xander’s priorities have never been in the right place, and that’s why we as a team fell short. But after what he did to me at Territorial Invasion, there’s no more we. Now? There’s only me I have to worry about.
(The crowd cheers.)
Ryan Wilson: And with that, comes a new set of goals. One of them being to make Xander pay for EVERYTHING he has put me through over the last couple of weeks. Hell… over the last few months, because let’s act like these problems between Xander and I are new. Hell, they’ve been boiling since the start of this season, and finally came to a head only recently. But that’s fine, that’s life. Look, as I said, it’s time to start focusing on me again, putting myself forward, and that’s what I’m doing right now. Because Xander Payne, if you’re watching this, which I know you are, I’m challenging you to a match at House of Glass, so we can put your claims that I was holding you back to the test. What do you say? You, me, one-on-one.
Michael Belfort: RYAN, LOOK-
(Glass shatters everywhere as Xander Payne attacks Ryan from behind, smashing a bottle over his head, causing Ryan to go down, knocked unconscious as a result. Michael Belfort stares down in shock, along with concern for Wilson. But Xander shoots a death glare towards Belfort, making him run off, not wanting to be next in the Hall of Famer’s path of destruction. Xander kneels down, and speaks directly to Ryan’s limp body.)
Xander Payne: See you there.
(Xander stands up, and backs off as medics rush in to check on Ryan Wilson, who has barely moved since being hit with that glass bottle. The camera fades elsewhere as the crowd pours down with thunderous boos on Xander Payne.)
(The camera cuts back to the arena as it pans over the thousands packed inside the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium who roar in anticipation of who could possibly be the next person to walk through that curtain. “Time To Make History” by Shoji Meguro begins to blast through the speakers as the Interwire Champion, Jay Jerry Johnson slowly makes his way out through the curtain to an ERUPTION of cheers. He stands on the stage, giving himself a moment to take a look out at the crowd before raising the Interwire Championship high into the air. He takes a deep breath before beginning to make his way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome at this time… the INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!! HE IS… JAY!!! JERRY!!! JOOOOHNSON!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: There’s absolutely no doubt that this man has been on an incredible roll since winning the Interwire Championship at Pain for Pride from PJ Henrix! He’s shown no signs of slowing down in the slightest; taking on all challengers and making sure that he comes out better than he went into it.
Stew-O: We can say that there was an incredible amount of pressure that fell straight onto his shoulders after becoming the Interwire Champion. He spent a lot of time coming so close. A man who was constantly forced to go back to the drawing board, trying to figure out what he needed to do in order to take that next step, and now that he has the chance to call himself a champion – there hasn’t been anything that he hasn’t been willing to put himself through to remain it.
Jake Mercer: But, you can see the look in his eyes. That’s the eyes of a man who knows that he’s weeks away from walking into the biggest challenge that his reign has faced so far. He’s facing a man who Jay knows feels the same way that he did leading into Pain for Pride. His challenger has spent months fighting out of necessity. The necessity to move forward. The necessity of breaking free of the stigma that has plagued him for far longer than Jay was forced to deal with it.
Flannery McCoy: That may be more insight than I expected from you, Jake, but you just hit the nail on its head. Jay is going to have to be better than he ever has if he wants to walk out of House of Glass as the Interwire Champion.
(Jay makes his way up onto the apron, taking another look out at the thousands with their eyes locked directly on him before entering the ring and being handed a microphone. He gives the crowd a chance to settle before finally beginning to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I spend a lot of time looking at this Interwire Championship. I have my reasons. I admire this championship. I admire everything that comes with being able to call myself the Interwire Championship. This is a reminder of everything that I’ve worked towards throughout my entire career. Those moments where I believed that I had everything figured out, only to fall agonizingly close. The reminder that there isn’t going to be any doubts left inside this ring whenever I need to defend it. Every single time that I’ve walked down that ramp and into this ring, knowing that I need to be at my absolute best to walk back out as the Interwire Champion – I haven’t made sure that I’ve been at my best. I’ve made sure that I’ve been better than any Elitist behind that curtain could ever anticipate. I’ve made sure that I’ve had answers to every single question that they were going to ask of me. I hate to give Ronan Malosi credit, but I can’t ignore that he pushed me to the brink. He hit me with everything. He forced me to adjust. He forced me into an element of this game which I didn’t think that he would, but as the CHAMPION that I am – I proved that there wasn’t a situation that I’m going to need to face where I’m going to take a backstep. Those who are truly great in this business are those with the ability to adapt. Those who are never truly at a disadvantage. They make sure that they’re never outwrestled. They’re never the one with a lighter punch in a fight. It doesn’t matter how far they’re forced to push themselves… they’re always the ones who are able to push themselves further than any other name in this industry.
(Jay looks down at the Interwire Championship.)
Jay Jay Johnson: This championship is so important. This championship represents everything that it means to be an Elitist in this company. I’m not talking about it being a launching pad for bigger and better. We all dream about standing at the top of this business as the World Heavyweight Championship, and I am one day going to call myself the World Heavyweight Champion. This championship is the invitation to every single person in this business to test their merit against the true pillar which holds every up beyond that grand spotlight. I have always welcomed the challenge from the moment that I won this championship at Pain for Pride, and I will continue to welcome every single challenge that stands in my way while I continue to hold it.
(Jay throws the Interwire Championship back over his shoulder.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: So, that brings me to House of Glass and Theron Nikolas.
(The crowd roars at the mention of Theron.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m not going to sit here and lie. I have wanted this for a long time. There have been countless names that have stood in front of the world and have done everything in their power to discredit everything that he’s accomplished in this business. I know Theron isn’t afraid to admit that the last few years haven’t been his greatest. But, sometimes the best quality in someone is their ability to push themselves back up and forward when every sign tells them that they should quit. I know that I can look towards House of Glass and know that Theron Nikolas is going to bring everything that makes him great to this ring, and that I am going to have to be better than I ever have been to walk out with this championship. It’s not because of the last few months that he’s had. It’s great to see the signs of something that used to stand at the top of this business but he’s right. This was always inevitable. There wasn’t going to come a day where Theron was going to allow himself to settle for less than he knows he can be. The problem that he faces is that it’s not going to happen at my expense. He talks about stories. We’re all writing our own stories, and unfortunately for him… the name Theron Nikolas is merely a chapter in a story that’s going to be greater than his. The name Theron Nikolas isn’t going down at the next Interwire Champion, but instead because another notch to the prestige that I’m going to add to this championship.
(“Prey” by Parkway Drive hits as the crowd immediately shoot back to their feet as Theron Nikolas slowly makes his way through the curtain. Jay turns his head towards the sight of Theron which only seems to bring a smile to his face, almost as if he knew that his words were going to bring his future challenger out. Theron slowly makes his way down to the ring with a microphone already in hand as he pays no attention to the thousands in attendance chanting his name. The only things that seem to matter to Theron, right now, are both the Interwire Champion and the championship itself.)
Flannery McCoy: You know, I had to wonder what Theron’s mentality was going to be with challenging for the Interwire Championship. It was nine months ago since Theron challenged for a championship here in EAW, and he denounced it because it wasn’t a World Championship. We don’t know if Theron is going to do the same here tonight, but if the look in his eyes tells us anything. This seems a lot different to the Theron that we saw compete for the Hardcore Championship.
Stew-O: This is a different Theron Nikolas to the one we’ve seen in this company for years. There’s a reason that Theron has looked better than he has over the last few months than he has since returning to EAW a few years ago. It’s as if the lack of ego that he’s had has been the greatest thing that could have happened to the man.
(Theron enters the ring and stands across the ring from Jay, who doesn’t look like he has any intention of stepping back in the slightest. The crowd seems split down the middle on where their support is between the challenger and champion.)
Theron Nikolas: Don’t worry, Jay. I have no intention of anything happening between the two of us until House of Glass. If I’m going to take that Interwire Championship then I want to make sure that there’s no excuses from anyone when I do.
Jay Jerry Johnson: So, I’m meant to pretend that you’re not a man who has proven that he’s willing to do anything that he can to make sure that he’s a step ahead of everyone else?
Theron Nikolas: There was once a time where you would have been right, Jay, but now you really couldn’t be more wrong. I sat back there and I wanted to listen to everything that you had to say. I wanted to hear everything that makes Jay Jerry Johnson everything that he really is. You can stand there and you can be really proud of yourself, Jay. I’m not going to take away anything of what you’ve managed to create for yourself. You’re the Interwire Champion because of you, and nobody else. Everything that you’ve managed to do for yourself has been because of your own hard work and your own determination. It’s that same hard work and determination that’s going to continue to push you further up that proverbial ladder and you do everything in your power to take hold of every single one of your dreams and aspirations. Congratulations kid, you’re truly beginning to turn yourself into a star.
(That last comment brings the hint of a smirk to the face of Jay as he murmurs the word “kid”.)
Theron Nikolas: But, there was something that you said, Jay. It’s what that championship right there represents. I can admire a man that wants to turn that championship into everything that it should be, because the truth is that it really hasn’t been what it deserves to be. I’ll admit it. I didn’t have my eyes set on it in the slightest when my name came up on that big screen to announce that I had been drafted to Dynasty. It was the World Heavyweight Championship or nothing. The same way that it was the Answers World Championship or the EAW World Championship or nothing while I was on Showdown and Voltage respectively. I threw away the Hardcore Championship because it wasn’t what I had spent years having my sights set on capturing. You’re right, Jay. That Interwire Championship is an invitation to every single person back there to step through that curtain and test themselves against the name who is the true workhorse of this company. But, do you truly know what that belt represents?
(Theron points at the Interwire Championship which now hangs from the right hand of Jay.)
Theron Nikolas: It represents progress. It represents those who are still trying to find their footing in this business. Those with those aspirations of truly being great in this business. People like you, Jay. Those who don’t have all the answers, but hold the ability to find them. It represents those who once stood on top of the world, only to lose every single piece of it, and are now doing everything in their power to rebuild everything that they lost. It’s the Interwire Championship that represents me, Jay. You can call yourself the champion that it needs, but we’re kindred spirits. It’s calling for the name who once stood in front of the world and had to listen to every single person in this business profess that he didn’t earn a shred of anything that he’s accomplished in this business, only to prove for years that he truly is a workhorse of this business regardless of how anyone wants to view him. The man who truly represents picking yourself back up from the bottom of the barrel; standing in front of a world determined to do everything in their power to keep him down, while defiantly climbing that proverbial ladder rung by rung. That championship in your hands right now personifies my journey. I’m not looking for anything else. Bronson Daniels can stand on top of the world as the World Heavyweight Championship, under the brightest spotlight that he thinks is possible, but after I walk into House of Glass and take that. I’m making it not only the greatest prize on Dynasty. I’m making it the biggest prize in EAW, Jay. I’m making that Interwire Championship the representation that anyone can hold the world, but you’re going to have to be the person that kills me to take it from me.
Jay Jerry Johnson: That’s the problem, Theron. That’s always been the problem! It’s always you against the world. Who’s against you, Theron? Who’s been against you? Tell me? That’s the answer that I’m dying to know. Was this company against you when they basically immediately gave you the chance to compete for the Answers World Championship on Showdown? Was the world against you when you put more focus on Charlie Marr rather than actually competing for the EAW World Championship? Was the world against you when you left Hikari Kanno to pick at the bones of a championship that YOU threw away? It’s not confidence in your words, Theron. It’s desperation.
(Jay steps into the face of Theron as they both come nose to nose.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: A man who has convinced himself that he holds all the answers, but your eyes tell a different story. You look at this Interwire Championship and you see something that’s good enough. The dreamer who accepts that his dreams are out of reach. You have your legacy, Theron. You’ve achieved nothing of true merit for years, but your name is set. The former Answers World Champion. King of Elite. Pain for Pride headliner. I have to prove myself everyday. I slip and I lose it all. Another name who could have been who ended up being nothing. This isn’t enough for me, but right now, this is everything to me. You look into my eyes, Theron and you tell me what you see. You see the determination. You see the next challenge that you’re not going to overcome. You see the next excuse to why you let another chance slip through your fingers. You’re a chapter in the story of a man who’s going to become the greatest Interwire Champion of all time.
Theron Nikolas: I am delusional, Jay. I’m the first person to admit it. You don’t constantly push yourself back up after constantly having the ground under your feet continuously destroyed without having an ounce of delusion. But, there’s no delusions when I say this. There’s a difference between the two of us when it comes to that championship, Jay. I’m a selfish man, but I’m fighting for that championship. I’m not fighting for that championship while looking towards my own future beyond it. You’re fighting for you. You want to be the best Interwire Champion that you can be, because it benefits you. I’m going to make that Interwire Championship everything that it can be, and everything that it should be. You think that the beginning of your career was tough, Jay? This idea of constantly having to prove yourself while watching the world pass you by. Imagine how it’s going to feel looking back at your greatest accomplishment. The one thing that you fought so hard to take hold of, and knowing that the man that took it all away managed to overshadow everything that you did completely. Another moment where Jay Jerry Johnson’s best still just wasn’t good enough. It’s why I don’t want excuses at House of Glass. It’s why I want you to bring everything that you believe makes you, you to the table. The same way that I’m going to bring everything that once allowed me to stand at the very top of this entire industry to the table. The same things that you can only stand there and dream about being. This is your moment, Jay. Convince yourself that I’m the next chapter in this story, while knowing that I’m the conclusion of it.
(Jay tightens his fist.)
Theron Nikolas: Five years since I have called myself a champion. It’s three weeks until I call myself champion again.
(Theron Nikolas drops his microphone as the two continue to stand nose to nose. It’s not about hatred between the two of them. It’s about the chance to call themselves the Interwire Champion. A man looking to create his own legacy, against a man trying to rebuild his. Jay drops his microphone as no words are left to be spoken tonight. “Prey” by Parkway Drive picks back up through the speakers as Jay Jerry Johnson defiantly raises the Interwire Championship high into the air as the crowd remains split between the two.)
Stew-O: An interesting exchange by the champion and the challenger! It’s been made clear how much the Interwire Championship means to both Elitists! Jay wants to cement his own legacy here while Theron wants to redefine his!
Jake Mercer: It’s going to be intriguing to see how this will all unfold at House of Glass! The Reaper and the Artist aren’t backing down from each other!
Flannery McCoy: The fans here seem to be just as excited! Theron is backs away and takes his leave, heading up the ramp. Stephie Love gets in the ring as the next match is about to get underway — featuring the current, reigning Interwire Champion!
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following singles match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring, from Bridgeport, Connecticut… Weighing in at 206 pounds… He is “THE ARTIST”… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, JAYYYYYYYY JERRYYYYYY JOHNSOOOOOOOON!!!
(Jay’s attention peels away from Theron and turns to the fans. They cheer as Jay flashes the championship up in the air for all of them to see.)
Stew-O: With that confrontation, Jay has to be extra motivated right now!
(Soon, his theme fades, and ‘Red Criminal’ by The Oral Cigarettes starts to play as fans start to boo very loudly. Komatsu Ogawa makes his way down to the ring with an eerie grin on his face with no care what the fans think, maybe enjoying the hate a little bit too much.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan… Weighing in at 232 pounds… He is “Imperius Rex”… KOMAAAAAATSU OGAWAAAAA!!!
Flannery McCoy: Now this is an elitist that not too many people know what exactly he wants here in EAW as he’s usually very quiet and doesn’t speak often… but one thing we know for certain is he loves the hate and loves to punish his opponents inside that ring!
Stew-O: That’s for certain, but the question here is will he be able to hang with the EAW Interwire Champion here tonight or will he crumble under the pressure of a big match like this? Only time will tell, but what we do know is that Komatsu Ogawa is a man that never gives up even if the odds are stacked against him!
(As Komatsu Ogawa makes his way inside the ring, his theme song is replaced by ‘Time To Make History’ by Shoji Meguro as some of the fans start to cheer loudly while others stay booing as Jay Jerry Johnson is seen walking down to the ring with the EAW Interwire Championship around his waist as he quickly makes his way into the ring.)
Stephie Live: Introducing his opponent… From Bridgeport, Connecticut… Weighing in at 206 pounds… He is “THE ARTIST”… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, JAYYYYYYYY JERRYYYYYY JOHNSOOOOOOOON!!!
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson loves the competition aspect of EAW and that’s only become more true as he’s held that EAW Interwire Championship around his waist, but tonight he faces a ruthless man who loves to deliver pain and being a real alpha male if you will. We will have to see if Jay Jerry Johnson can survive tonight and make it to House of Glass.
Flannery McCoy: You have to think that Jay’s out here to not just fight but maybe give a sample to Theron Nikolas on what he’s capable inside that ring and even send a message that if Theron really wants the championship around Jay’s waist, he will have to fight very hard as he’s out here to make Komatsu an example of sorts.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung and both these elitists stare each other down as they quickly grapple each other trying to use not just their strength but also their skill to get the upper hand as both these men know a thing or two about hurting their opponents as the Interwire Champion, Jay Jerry Johnson quickly gets Komatsu Ogawa in a headlock as he starts to push him towards the ropes. As both men finally touch the ring ropes, Jay let’s go as he quickly transitions into an Irish Whip as he sends Komatsu towards the other side of the ring as he rebounds and is caught with a beautiful European Uppercut, but Komatsu is only left kneeling as Jay runs the ropes and lays him down with a Running Dropkick assisted by the ropes! Jay Jerry Johnson isn’t done here though as he wants to make sure he can inflict the maximum damage on his opponent and show his House of Glass opponent, Theron Nikolas what type of elitists he’s getting himself involved with as Jay drags Komatsu towards the ropes.
Jake Mercer: As he gets Komatsu close to the corner he picks him up and slams him on the corner turnbuckles as he takes a few steps back and runs towards the groggy Komatsu as he lands another European Uppercut on him but isn’t done just yet as he quickly grabs him and goes for a High-Angle Spinning Uranage Slam as he drops him right on the ring mat as Jay starts to climb on the turnbuckle as he gets on top of the middle one as he starts taunting for Komatsu Ogawa to get up. The champ knows that it’s going to take a lot more than a few European Uppercuts to takedown his opponent here tonight, but a high risk move like this could be disastrous as Komatsu is finally up on rubber legs while Jay is looking to hit him with a Diving Twisting Flatliner…
Flannery McCoy: Komatsu Ogawa using his strength to keep a hold onto Jay Jerry Johnson as he reversed the Diving Twisting Flatliner into a STO as Jay’s left face first on the mat as Komatsu pulls a bit on his hair and slaps him a bit as he slowly picks him up and gives Jay a taste of his own medicine as he hits Jay with his own European Uppercut that leaves him kneeling. Komatsu runs the ropes and lays Jay with a Running Lariat as Komatsu has an eerie grin on his face as he once again pulls on Jay’s hair a bit to pick him up as he attempts to go for a German Suplex on him as Jay Jerry Johnson flips behind Komatsu and grabs him for a German Suplex of his own that he hits right in the middle of the ring as he Kip-Ups and looks down at the downed Komatsu.
Stew-O: Jay drags Komatsu near the corner as he slowly gets up as Jay Jerry Johnson prepares to hit… “Pretty Visitor”! The Slingshot Front Flip Cutter connects on the groggy Komatsu Ogawa, but Jay’s looking to add a final finishing touch to the match as he grabs onto the neck of Komatsu and hooks in “Jerry Special 99’” as the Peruvian Necktie is hooked in and Jay makes the submission hold VERY tight as the referee starts to check up on Komatsu Ogawa as Komatsu has passed out!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… He is “THE ARTIST”… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, JAYYYYYYYY JERRYYYYYY JOHNSOOOOOOOON!!!
Jake Mercer: Wow! What an impressive win here tonight from Jay Jerry Johnson as he dominated Komatsu Ogawa and made him pass out! If Jay was trying to send a message? Mission accomplished!
Flannery McCoy: Jay definitely has shown Theron Nikolas what he’s capable of doing to his opponents inside that ring, but you’d have to think that Jay may have played his cards too early and revealed something that could give Theron an advantage at House of Glass.
Stew-O: Either way, Jay Jerry Johnson picks up some momentum with this very quick win over Komatsu Ogawa and he definitely has an extra bit of confidence walking out here tonight as the winner here tonight, congrats on the win Jay!
(Jay Jerry Johnson is seen grabbing his championship as he puts it over his shoulder and starts to walk away from ringside as Komatsu Ogawa is seen barely realizing that he passed out as he struggles to get back up with aid from the ropes as the scene fades to black)
(Friday Night Dynasty opens up from a brief intermission to a shot of the backstage area of Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, which is a lot more chaotic than usual. Someone is absolutely ravaging through the backstage area, with a plethora of shouting and confusion being heard, multiple things flying all over the place. Staff members are seen scattering away as a booming voice is heard, taking over the entire area.)
Michael Machina: DRAKE.
(An absolutely incensed Michael Machina is seen storming through the halls of the backstage area, with his intentions being made very clear. He’s looking for Drake Armstrong, who not only cost him his match at Territorial Invasion, but cheated to deal Michael his first pinfall loss last week on Dynasty. Things have escalated from 0 to 100 real quick, and Michael looks to make sure Drake understands just who he messed with if he didn’t get the message. He’s tossing stuff around in anger, with equipment flying around while he rampages the area. Some backstage personnel are seen cowering in fear, and Michael immediately grabs a hold of one by the collar and pulls them in.)
Michael Machina: WHERE’S DRAKE ARMSTRONG?
Backstage Personnel #1: :noah: How would I know!!! Let me go man!!!
Michael Machina: HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
Backstage Personnel #1: No, please let me go bro!
(Michael scrunches his face before quickly tossing him aside. He turns around to see another member of backstage personnel, timidly watching the situation, and Michael already has a hold of him before he can even react.)
Michael Machina: WHERE IS HE.
Backstage Personnel #2: :lupe: I may have seen him!
Michael Machina: OH REALLY?
Backstage Personnel #2: But then again, there’s a lot of people that look like him-
(Michael immediately seizes him and slams him up against the wall, holding him up so he’s barely dangling off the ground.)
Michael Machina: I HAVE NO TIME TO PLAY GAMES RIGHT NOW.
Backstage Personnel #2: :whoa:!!! YO MAN CHILL!!! I HAVEN’T SEEN HIM! LET ME GO PLEASE!
(Michael shakes his head before tossing him aside just like he did the last person. A frustrated look begins to show on his face as he crosses his arms, tensing up for a moment and trying to control his frustration. He continues to make his way through the halls, hoping that by some miracle he crosses paths with the man that he’s looking for, but he’s about to find himself meeting someone completely different in the process…)
???: Hey man, I understand.
Michael Machina: You wouldn’t know for shit-
(Michael turns to face the voice that he heard, and to his surprise, of all people, he finds himself face-to-face with the New Breed Champion Hans Grayson, who is heading to Gorilla Position for his match. The crowd roars in approval from inside the arena, but Michael isn’t very receptive about this encounter. Although it was Drake who his anger is completely focused on, he can’t help but feel frustrated that Hans is still the Champion, when he knows that it should have been him. Hans doesn’t seem to try and rub salt in the wounds, instead he actually looks sympathetic as he continues.)
Hans Grayson: Look, from your perspective, it’s hard to trust anything that comes out of my mouth. But the truth is I want Drake Armstrong just as much as you do, and especially considering the talent that you are, and how highly you’re looked at by the people around you, I’m pissed at how our New Breed Championship match at Territorial Invasion went down. When I won this title at Pain For Pride, I set out to prove that I was the best in the New Breed Division without a shadow of a doubt, and heading into our match the goal stayed the same. But an asterisk win over you does nothing for me, so not only do I want to get my hands on Drake for what he did in our match… But I also want to face you again and kill any doubts.
(Michael raises an eyebrow, his mood completely changing from what it was previously when he was ravaging the backstage area.)
Hans Grayson: So how about this, let me defend this Championship tonight against Michael Scott Connor, and when that’s out of the way, I’ll make sure we all get what we want out of this and settle the score once and for all… In a triple threat match.
(The crowd once again cheers for this, and Michael seems to have calmed down upon hearing all of this. While his problems were with Drake, he can’t help but be reminded of the unfinished business that he has with Hans, that won’t be settled until he has the New Breed Championship in his possession. After a while, he smirks.)
Michael Machina: I couldn’t have asked for a better situation, getting the opportunity to not only kick Drake’s ass, but your ass as well, while also securing the New Breed Title that belongs to me in the first place… Why wouldn’t I take it? The opportunity is right in front of me and with everything at hand, I don’t plan on failing. But you don’t need to worry about that right now, what you do need to worry about is making sure you don’t screw up out there in your defense. Because I don’t just want to take the New Breed Championship, no… I want to take the New Breed Championship from you.
(Hans responds with a smirk of his own, and it’s clear that after the stern warning from Michael, that no words need to be said between the two. He simply adjusts the title over his shoulder, before turning and continuing to make his way down to Gorilla Position for his match coming up next. The camera lingers on Michael as he looks on, crossing his arms as the smirk begins to fade to a serious expression. He turns around and begins to make his way out of the scene in the opposite direction, as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out to the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR… THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers would hit the arena speakers to an explosion of cheers, as the challenger, Michael Scott Connor would make his way out onto the stage. He looks confident and focused tonight as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first; the challenger!!! From London, Ohio, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is ‘LT. COLONEL!!!!!!’ MICHAELLLLLL SCOTTTTTTTTT CONNORRRRRRRRR… U! S! M! C!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The Lt. Colonel has the opportunity of a lifetime here tonight, after a very impressive performance within the Brand Warfare match at Territorial Invasion just a couple of weeks ago, he gets to challenge Hans Grayson for the New Breed Championship!
Flannery McCoy: Scott Connor had a New Breed Championship match near the end of last season if you remember, where he would fall short to Caroline on an episode of Showdown. I’m sure he is looking to right a wrong here tonight.
(Then, ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI would hit the speakers, the crowd would continue to grow even louder with their cheers, as Hans Grayson would then make his way through the curtains and out onto the stage; the New Breed Championship strapped around his waist. He looks beat up, battered and bruised, but he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent!!! From Vancouver, British Columbia, weighing in at 219 pounds, he is the CURRENT EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! HE IS ‘FIRE HEART!!!’ HANSSSSSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: You can tell that Hans Grayson is beat up, but he continues to look for these type of challenges, defending the New Breed Championship on a week to week basis, this man has been proving himself ever since he became champion.
Flannery McCoy: Without a doubt. There isn’t a lot of champions today who can say that they have defended their championship three weeks in a row, despite injuries, despite being battered and bruised; Hans Grayson can.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is now underway! For the third week in a row, a very beat up and battered Hans Grayson will be stepping into the ring with his New Breed Championship on the line; this week against Voltage’s own Lt. Colonel, Michael Scott Connor! The two pull themselves out of their corners, before beginning to pace around the ring… and they quickly step into the middle of the ring to engage into an early collar and elbow tie up!
Flannery McCoy: These two men are looking to fight for the early control within this match, but it looks like it is going to be the challenger who gets the quick advantage, breaking out of the lockup, as Scott Connor pulls Hans Grayson over into a side headlock! He wrenches in the headlock, looking to keep the champion grounded here in the early moments of this match.
Jake Mercer: But it looks like Hans Grayson is going to find his way out of the side headlock, going around and pulling Michael’s arm behind him in the process, and into a hammerlock position, and he wrenches upward on the arm, looking to possibly hyperextend it… ONLY FOR THE CHALLENGER TO THEN QUICKLY STRIKE BACK WITH A BACK ELBOW RIGHT TO THE JAW, AND THE CHAMPION IS STUNNED EARLY!
Stew-O: The champion has to clutch at his jaw and back away from the challenger, falling into the corner, as just like that; Scott Connor has taken control of this match right back to where he wanted it, and that is into his favor! And Scott looks to take advantage of the opening that he had given to himself right here, quickly following Hans into the corner, and he starts to wear him out with lefts and rights; the New Breed Champion trying to get his guard up but to no avail!
Flannery McCoy: And it looks like the challenger is going to find his way into following through with overwhelming the champion into the corner, throwing him down to the mat in a seated position with a snapmare, BEFORE SCOTT CONNOR NAILS A HUGE KICK RIGHT TO THE SPINE OF HANS GRAYSON; BUT HANS MANAGES TO BRASE AND EAT THE KICK FROM THE CHALLENGER, BEFORE DROPPING FLAT TO HIS BACK, NAILING AN UP KICK RIGHT TO THE BRIDGE OF CONNOR’S NOSE!
Jake Mercer: Michael Scott Connor stumbles away from that kick to the nose, as Hans Grayson is able to pick himself right back up to his feet, and Connor turns around… ONLY FOR HANS GRAYSON TO JUMP RIGHT AT HIM WITH A FLYING FOREARM SMASH INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND BOTH MEN GO DOWN, BUT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION KIPS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! AND JUST LIKE THAT, HANS GRAYSON HAS FOUND HIMSELF BACK IN CONTROL!
Stew-O: And Hans quickly pops right back up to his feet, grabbing a hold of the challenger, as he launches the Lt. Colonel through the middle rope, and he crashes down to the ringside floor below! He tries getting back up to his feet… BUT HANS GRAYSON SHOOTS OFF OF THE ROPES, AND HE LOOKS TO DROP DOWN ONTO CONNOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING WITH A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE, TO TAKE HIM OUT-
Flannery McCoy: -WAIT! MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES AND JUMPS ONTO THE APRON, CATCHING GRAYSON’S HEAD AS HE WAS GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BEFORE APPLYING A GUILLOTINE! Scott Connor is wrenching that guillotine in tightly, and Hans looks to be quickly fading, but the challenger is going to have to let go in order to be able to avoid a disqualification, because you can hear the referee shouting at him right here!
Jake Mercer: But I don’t think the challenger is going to do that… instead he is going to drag the current New Breed Champion by the head, out of the ring with the guillotine still locked in! They both get down to the ringside area… AND SCOTT TRANSITIONS, PICKING THE LEGS OF HANS AND DROPPING HIM TO THE FLOOR… BEFORE CONNOR DROPS DOWN AS WELL, AND HE IS ABLE TO SLINGSHOT HANS OVER HIM!!! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION GOES CRASHING INTO OUR ANNOUNCER’S DESK ABDOMEN FIRST!
Stew-O: You can tell that the current New Breed Champion is hurting badly, and this might be signaling the end of his amazing championship reign! He might have bit off more than he can chew, as Scott Connor quickly grabs a hold of Hans, throwing him into the ring and following suit! Grayson stumbles up to his feet, but it may not mean much, as he turns… RIGHT INTO ‘TAPS!!!!’ AND IT CONNECTS!!!
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR DROPS HANS GRAYSON WITH THE LEAPING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT, AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS OUT! WE MIGHT BE CROWNING A NEW CHAMPION TONIGHT ON DYNASTY, AS CONNOR FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG! THIS MIGHT BE IT! THE LT. COLONEL MIGHT BECOME THE LT. NEW BREED CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO–
Jake Mercer: IT’S NOT OVER! IT’S NOT OVER! MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR THOUGHT HE WAS ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING THE NEW NEW BREED CHAMPION, BUT IT’S NOT OVER AS HANS GRAYSON WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!! This is the resiliency that we have come to know very well of Hans Grayson, and it is showing to be very beneficial right here! The Colonel cannot believe it, but the Fire Heart is not going to stay down just yet!
Stew-O: Michael Scott Connor can’t believe it, but the challenger knows that he can’t stop the momentum and current advantage that he has over the New Breed Champion! He gets back to his feet, and he pulls Hans up into a seated position… AND HE LOOKS TO LOCK IN THE DRAGON SLEEPER TO MAKE THE CHAMPION TAP OR PASS OUT!! ‘DD214’ IS LOCKED IN TIGHTLY, AND HANS GRAYSON HAS NOWHERE TO GO-
Flannery McCoy: NO; IT ISN’T LOCKED IN, AS HANS IS ABLE TO SNAP HIS HEAD BACK RIGHT INTO CONNOR’S FACE WITH A REVERSE HEADBUTT! Connor stumbles backwards into the ropes, as Hans Grayson gets right back up to his feet… and Michael Scott Connor is able to get his composure, as he shoots off of the ropes and he is quick to dash right back at the New Breed Champion, full speed ahead!!!
Jake Mercer: But Hans Grayson throws himself to the side, and Scott Connor goes to quickly turn his body back towards him… RIGHT INTO THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH!!!!’ HANS GRAYSON DROPS THE CHALLENGER IN A NEAR INSTANT WITH THE FLYING CLOSED RIGHT HAND FIRST, AND CONNOR DROPS TO THE MAT!!! HANS QUICKLY INTO THE COVER TO RETAIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP HERE TONIGHT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO–
Stew-O: KICK OUT! KICK OUT BY THE CHALLENGER, AND MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR STAYS ALIVE WITHIN THIS MATCH! Hans Grayson had come so close to retaining the New Breed Championship right then and there, but it wasn’t enough, not just yet. Hans is hurting, though, you can see the wear and tear from the grueling weeks that he has gone through, having to compete through injuries. Hans is slowly pulling himself back up to his feet, and Scott Connor shortly follows, both men getting back to their feet!
Flannery McCoy: They meet in the center of the ring… AND MICHAEL SENDS THE FIGHT STRIKE WITH A HUGE FOREARM! That might have taken the wind out of Hans Grayson, taking a quick step back… but he steps right back in, KNOCKING MICHAEL BACK WITH AN UPPERCUT! Michael stumbles into the ropes… BOUNCING OFF OF THEM AND HE DRIVES HIS KNEE RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION! And he looks to follow up, BUT HANS LEAPS INTO THE AIR KNOCKING THE CHALLENGER WITH AN ENZIGURI KICK, AS GRAYSON FALLS TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: BUT SCOTT CONNOR DIDN’T, STAYING ON HIS FEET AS HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND GRAYSON, AND HE THROWS HIM WITH A HUGE DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! Hans Grayson just got planted down onto his head, crashing into the mat as the challenger pops right back up to his feet, hooking Hans Grayson and pulling him up as well… looking to lift him up into the air! ONLY FOR HANS GRAYSON TO COUNTER OUT OF IT, SENDING MICHAEL INTO THE AIR INSTEAD AND CRASHING FACE FIRST INTO HIS KNEE WITH A KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER!
Stew-O: Michael Scott Connor splats to the mat below… BUT HE IS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SECOND ‘FLAMING PUNCH’ BY HANS GRAYSON!!! THE CHALLENGER FALLS TO HIS KNEES, AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION QUICKLY RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, EXITING OUT ONTO THE APRON! SCOTT CONNOR TRIES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET… BUT HANS SLINGSHOTS INTO THE RING WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!!!!’ HANS GRAYSON TURNS MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR INSIDE OUT WITH THE SLINGSHOT LARIAT!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND HANS GRAYSON SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG DEEP AND SEIZING IN HIS MOMENT TO RETAIN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!
OOONNNEEE!
TWWWWOOOO!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; AND STILLLLL THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! HE IS ‘FIRE HEART!!!’ HANSSSSSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ would hit the speakers once more to an explosion of cheers, as Hans Grayson would push himself off of the body of Michael Scott Connor. He relishes in his victory, being handed the New Breed Championship by the referee, as he would then stand up, raising it high into the air, as he walks out another week still with the championship.)
Stew-O: What a match! Both of these two men left everything inside of the ring here tonight, but in the end, Michael Scott Connor’s efforts to claim the New Breed Championship would end in a devastating failure, as another week marks another successful championship defense in a row for the man who calls himself the ‘Fire Heart.’
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson has been on an absolute roll as of late, with his third successful championship defense a third week in a row. It’s safe to say he is quickly-
Jake Mercer: WAIT, WHO IS THAT?!!?!?!
(POW!)
Stew-O: HANS GRAYSON DIDN’T SEE IT COMING; AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST STRUCK THE CHAMPION IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE RING!!! REMEMBER, EARLIER IN THE NIGHT HANS GRAYSON MENTIONED WANTING TO FACE BOTH DRAKE AND MACHINA FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT HOUSE OF GLASS!
Flannery McCoy: WELL IT LOOKS LIKE DRAKE ARMSTRONG HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR, AS HE MOUNTS ON TOP OF HANS, AND HE CONTINUES TO THROW STRIKES WITH THE RING ON HIS HAND! HANS CAN’T PROTECT HIMSELF AS HE IS KNOCKED OUT COLD, AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS STARTING TO BLEED! THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE ARMSTRONG WON’T STOP THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION, AND… WAIT! WAIT! MICHAEL MACHINA!!!
(Drake Armstrong wasn’t letting off on the attack of Hans Grayson, but that was until he would suddenly catch Michael Machina bolting down the ramp and into the ring. On instinct, Drake would shoot back up to his feet, exiting out of the ring.)
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA SLIDES INTO THE RING TO GO AFTER DRAKE, BUT DRAKE QUICKLY DIPS!!! MACHINA IS TRYING TO CHASE AFTER HIM, EXITING THE RING, BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS ABLE TO JUMP THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD, AND HE IS HIGHTAILING IT!
Flannery McCoy: If all three of these men are going to be competing for the New Breed Championship at House Of Glass, then this might just be a match for the AGES!
(Michael Machina would stare off into the crowd as Drake Armstrong would continue to make his way through it. Machina looked pissed off, while Hans Grayson would be getting checked on by the referee inside of the ring. Dynasty fades to a commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for this week’s Saturday Night Showdown.)
(The setting changes to a space with a red backdrop, matching the overall color scheme of Dynasty. A text reading “PRE-RECORDED” is splayed across the screen’s upper-right corner. Stew-O is sitting down as he looks at the camera, wearing a professional smile.)
Stew-O: Well, this has been an interview I’ve been looking forward to for some time. Milli Banks, thank you for joining me.
(The Specialists Champion is then seen. Milli offers a smile of her own as she has the championship on her shoulder.)
Milli Banks: Well, no problem, Stew-O. You know I gotta keep the press around these parts well-fed.
Stew-O: You certainly have been doing just that, especially in recent months with you getting closer and closer to breaking the all-time record for the longest reign in that championship’s history. The whole world is watching to see whether or not you can accomplish that feat. Did you ever think that you would get this far when you initially won the title?
Milli Banks: Whew. Chile, you know I’m always aiming to make it big. It was always a cute little thought I had since I won, yeah, but I never really spoke up about it until a couple of months ago. I wasn’t trying to jinx myself just yet! But nah, seriously, it was an aspiration of mine and a constant source of motivation. I’m all about creating a legacy for myself. I want to be the best, and to me, and I think that breaking the record will help reinforce the idea that I’m one of the greatest ever to do it. I’m sure I’m not the first woman to have that goal. However, I will be the first one to actually achieve it, and even if I got three women who are breathing down my neck ready to steal this title from me, I’m more than ready for them.
Stew-O: The Specialists Division certainly has grown in size and competition.
Milli Banks: No joke. It’s getting serious out here!
Stew-O: It certainly is. Considering you’ll not only be defending the championship in a fatal four-way against Delilah Rose, Bea Valentine and Rory Slate but at House of Glass – an event known for hosting glass-based stipulations – this could very well be the most difficult title defense of your career yet. How are you feeling as you try to prepare for an encounter of this stature?
Milli Banks: Oh, man… it’s intense, isn’t it? I mean, there’s so much involved in this match and it could easily go wrong for me. I wouldn’t need to be pinned or submitted to lose this championship. I could be in for an insane, all-out war. Considering that I have had to deal with some glass before in my career so far, it places me at both an advantage and a disadvantage. I’m not scared or anything. I’ve felt what it’s like to have a piece of glass pierce into my skin or crack over my head.
(Milli chuckles. The camera noticeably focuses on the scar on her arm that she got from the Karma’s End match at Pain for Pride.)
Milli Banks: I’m a tough cookie, but I’ve been battered and beaten many times over, with hardly any breaks in between. I won’t be surprised if the other girls are already working on a gameplan they can use against me. However, I’m not deterred. I’m ready for whatever they got to throw at me.
Stew-O: Confident as ever. Still, Delilah, Rory and Bea are the same way. What do you think you have that gives you the edge over them?
Milli Banks: … Experience. Skill. Being able to push through no matter what. Being somehow more stubborn and annoying than them inside the ring.
(Milli laughs.)
Milli Banks: I mean, they’re all dope in their own way. However, I’ve been through wars and survived them. I’ve dealt with and beaten Elitists who are far above them, and that’s not to dig at them or anything, but it’s true. I know how to excel in a high-pressure environment, and I’ve been able to be successful each and every single time. The expectations are high for me, but I know I can reach them. Meanwhile, Bea? Rory? Delilah? They haven’t. They’ve never been neck-deep in the competition like I have. It’s easy to talk yourself up and think you can be a champion, but when that champion has done what you’ve done and done it better? You can’t be content and settle for the small wins. Plus, they’re just cocky as hell, man. I think their egos are gonna serve to hurt them, and when it does, well… that raises my chances of retaining this championship.
Stew-O: Alright, MillI, I just have one last question for you: the record means a lot to the EAW Universe. Of course, the late-great Brody Sparks and Andrea Valentine share it at 190 days, and the two were close with one another. Some fans share apprehension not to discredit you, but… because we haven’t seen anything like it in this profession. Two friends who share a unified bond have laid claim to being the greatest women to hold the championship, and for many fans, it’s a sentimental accomplishment. There’s been mixed feelings about you breaking it because of that. Are you… conflicted, in a way?
(Milli nods, listening to Stew-O intently. After letting his question digest, she answers.)
Milli Banks: I… wouldn’t say conflicted, but I understand what you mean. It’s hard not to think about that, you know? They’re GOATs, they’re icons, and they have been able to share that honor for years now. Andrea is definitely my all-time favorite Elitist. I didn’t get into wrestling admittedly when Brody was kicking ass, but I know she was special, and she continues to influence many of us, whether we realize it or not. So, I totally get where people are coming from. It’s that uncomfortable elephant in the room. However… I’m determined to break the record. It may suck for some fans, and again, I get it. Like you said, we don’t see some happy, feel-good coincidence happen like that.
(Milli pauses before speaking.)
Milli Banks: But Andrea and Brody were go-getters. In their prime, they were ambitious and didn’t settle for less. Brody especially seemed like someone who took what she wanted and she didn’t give a damn. That’s her legacy, and along with Andrea’s, it inspires me to be the best that I can be. So, while I acknowledge that breaking the record could be a bittersweet moment, I’m determined to get that moment. I came so far and done too much now to fail at this juncture. If I had lost this championship like a week or two, maybe even a couple of months into my reign? Then fine. I’d be able to bounce back. But when I’m so close to reaching the finish line, how can I stop? How can I be happy letting this end for me when I’m just a few steps away from reaching the pinnacle of the competition here? Breaking the record, hell, just being a champion period means the world to me. I got to come back when the whole world was wishing I’d fall, but I’m up now and I will forever stay here. At House of Glass, I’m winning. I’m going all out, and I’m not going to slip when I’m so close to creating my own legacy just like Andrea and Brody did.
(Milli looks at the title and smile.)
Stew-O: Well, thank you for your time, Milli. And good luck.
Milli Banks: Thanks. Try not to let Jake stress you out too much.
(The two laugh. The scene then transitions backstage where Rory Slate is seen lacing up her boots, looking at the television monitor in the locker room. She rolls her eyes and scoffs.)
Rory Slate: “I’m so close to creating my own legacy just like Andrea and Brody did!!!!!” Ugh, shut up. Already prematurely celebrating that she’s not going to reach.
(She cracks her neck from side to side.)
Rory Slate: Seriously, she is such a phony. How can someone who used to be hated be seen as the good, popular, cool girl? Well, whatever. At least the stupid fans can comfort her after I beat her and take the Specialists Championship for myself.
(The prospect alone makes her smirk. Rory snickers and heads on out.)
Rory Slate: Besides, she needs to worry about our match for tonight. She shouldn’t even be concerned about House of Glass when I beat her–
???: You beat her?
(Bea Valentine walks up to Rory, looking at her in disBEAlief.)
Bea Valentine: That is unBEAliveably arrogant of you! You really think you can beat Milli?!
Rory Slate: Yeah, I do. Why? Do you have a problem with it?
Bea Valentine: Tch. Of course. You’re out here guaranteeing a win that WON’T be coming to you… just like how you’re going to lose to me tonight! I won’t even need Delusional Delilah to help me in order to get the job done.
(Rory snorts.)
Rory Slate: Riiiiiiiight. I don’t know if you realize this or not, but Bea, this is a TAG match? Not a one-on-one affair.
Bea Valentine: Of course I know that! However, it will feel like a singles match with how I plan on being the undisputed star of my supposed ‘team’. At least Delilah can thank me for handing her a free win–
???: Is that bloody right?
(An annoyed Delilah Rose walks in, glaring straight at Bea.)
Delilah Rose: What a nasty little prick you are, Bea.
Bea Valentine: Hey! Language!
Delilah Rose: I’ll say whatever I want to a moron like you. You are so arrogant that it is insane, you know that? You could’ve tried to be a team player, but you decided to open up your pie hole earlier in the week and slander me!
Bea Valentine: Slander? My words would have to be false in order for it to be considered ‘slander’, dear.
Delilah Rose: Don’t get bloody smarty with me! You disrespected me, just like everyone else, but I’ve had it! I’ll be carrying YOU to a win, and then, I’ll be on my merry way beating you, Rory AND Milli at House of Glass!
Rory Slate: Yeah, right. As if.
Delilah Rose: You should shut it right now. You don’t get to look at me with that smug look when I’ve beaten you before, loser.
Rory Slate: Yaaaaaawn. Said that last week.
Bea Valentine: Maybe both of you should shut it, because I’m winning tonight AND at House of Glass!
Rory Slate: How about you BEA for real for once and realize how stupid you look? You aren’t winning anything so long as we’re opponents. I’m coming for that title.
Delilah Rose: No you aren’t.
Bea Valentine: No, YOU aren’t!
Delilah Rose: Shut up!
Rory Slate: Ugh, you two are so annoying!
Bea Valentine: The same can be said for you!
Delilah Rose: Yeah, but you’re way worse.
Bea Valentine: I am not!
Delilah Rose: Yes, you–
(Delilah stops.)
Delilah Rose: You know what? No. I won’t go through this petty game again! I’m going to focus on this match and actually win it. Then, you have no choice but to thank me for making you look more credible.
(Delilah huffs and storms off. Bea looks on and rolls her eyes.)
Bea Valentine: What a brat!
(She frowns, but she walks off hastily. Rory pinches the bridge of her nose.)
Rory Slate: Idiots. The whole bunch of them…
(The scene then fades to the ring, where Stephie Love is ready to present the next match for the evening.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Tag Team Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘What The Dead Men Say’ by Trivium starts to play throughout the arena as the fans start to boo very loudly as Delilah Rose comes out with a cocky smirk on her face as she soaks in the reaction while she makes her way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Sheffield, England… Weighing in at 130 pounds… She is “The Final Boss”… DELILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ROOOOOOOOOOSE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Making her way from Showdown to Dynasty looking to challenge Milli Banks for her EAW Specialist Championship, tonight she finds herself in tag team action where she has an opportunity to show Milli Banks what this improved Delilah Rose brings to the table since the last time they faced off, question is, does she have what it takes to beat her and her partner here tonight?
Jake Mercer: If she was only facing Milli? Of course, but Milli has a GREAT partner carrying her tonight so the answer is up in the air as we speak, but what we do know is that Delilah is determined to show the world that “The Final Boss” isn’t just a nickname, but a reality here not just on her brand Showdown, but all of EAW as a whole!
(As Delilah goes up the steel steps, her theme slowly fades out as it’s replaced by ‘Imma Be’ by The Black Eyed Peas as the loud boos continue at the sight of Bea Valentine making her way down to the ring as she spreads her arms letting the boos get louder.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her partner… From Boston, Massachusetts… Weighing in at 143 pounds… She is the “Queen Bea”… BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VALENTINEEEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: Her partner, Bea Valentine, making her way from Voltage to Dynasty as she earned her match against Milli Banks at Territorial Invasion winning a Hell In A Cell match and believes she’s the only one that truly deserves a match against the champion, but tonight she has to team up with one of her future opponents, question is, will they be able to pick up the win against the champion and her partner.
Jake Mercer: I’ve already answered this question bozo, let’s talk about something more important; will Bea Valentine BEA the one that picks up some momentum here tonight as she teams up with Delilah against two formidable opponents with a lot of momentum. Will she BEA able to prove that she is truly the “Tom Brady of EAW” or fail miserably? We will find out VERY soon.
(Bea Valentine makes her way in the ring as both Delilah and Bea start talking about who’s kicking off the match as Bea’s theme is replaced by ‘Monster’ by Currents as the boos continue through the arena while Rory Slate comes out confident as ever strutting her way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing their opponent, first… From Chicago, Illinois… Weighing in at 138 pounds… She is “The Windy City Sadist”… RORYYYYYYTY SLATEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Now this right here is an elitist who’s been making a name for herself this whole season and now it’s time to see if she has what it takes to become the new EAW Specialist Champion, but tonight she teams up with the champ to take on the two other ladies in the match as well and see which side gets more momentum as they await their title match at House of Glass.
Stew-O: A win here tonight especially if the opposite team can pin the champ could mean VERY big things for the eventual title match even a little bit of bragging rights, but it will not be an easy fight seeing as Rory Slate is out here to prove that this is her time and no one will stop her path to greatness even if that means helping the champ get a win here tonight seeing that if the champ wins she wins this match as well.
(Rory Slate stops at the ramp, she turns around as her theme slowly fades away, and is replaced by ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne as Milli Banks walks out with the EAW Specialist Championship around her waist while the fans cheer very loudly for her. She makes her way down the ramp as she looks at Rory and back to the ring as both elitists make their way inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her partner… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 135 pounds… She is “The Supernova”… THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION, MILLIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!!
Jake Mercer: Here she is, the woman who’s VERY close to making history as the longest reigning EAW Specialist Champion, Milli Banks! Tonight she has a point to make as she’s out here to put these elitists who are out for her championship in their place… She’s quite lucky that Rory Slate is teaming with her instead of facing her because we all know what would happen if they DID face off.
Stew-O: What you’re doing is illegal sir… Though, you’re right about Milli having a big task in front of her as she has an opportunity to show the elitists inside the ring what type of competition they’ve gotten themselves in when challenging “The It Girl” Milli Banks! I think if anything, this is testing the waters for everyone in this match to see what they need to do to secure a win when their match finally arrives. For now though, we will see which team is the better one as these great elitists face off tonight!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: This tag team match is on its way as Milli Banks and Bea Valentine are set to start us up as Delilah Rose tags herself in as it seems she wants her hands on Milli Banks here tonight as Delilah quickly runs towards Milli, but that rookie mistake costed her as Milli Banks quickly puts her down with an Arm Drag that she quickly transitions into an Armbar trying to weakened that arm of Delilah. She quickly lets go of the Armbar as Milli is here to have a little bit more fun and send a message to all these girls tonight that are currently eyeing her EAW Specialist Championship as she quickly picks up Delilah Rose from the mat as she puts her up on her shoulders as she hits a Rolling Fireman’s Carry near her team’s corner as she quickly gets up to the middle rope and goes for a Middle Rope Moonsault that lands effortlessly as Milli isn’t done here just yet as she’s trying to show everyone in that ring that there’s levels to this as she quickly climbs up to the top rope and she’s going for another Moonsault… No! She went for a Feint Diving Moonsault as she has a confident smirk on her face as she quickly dust her shoulder off and quickly goes for a Standing Moonsault! There’s a reason why she’s held on to that EAW Specialist Championship for so long as she’s proving here tonight that her skillset is unmatched!
Jake Mercer: That’s cool and all, but c’mon she’s held that championship for TOO long and it’s time one of these bright up-and-coming elitist in that ring show the world that they aren’t the future anymore, but the NOW as they take the throne for themselves in the women’s division! Milli can go trust me we know, but eventually someone will have the counter to dethrone her as Milli Banks goes for “Bank Roll” as the first pair of knees land on Delilah’s torso and Milli goes for the second pair, but Delilah moves out of the way causing Milli’s knees to hit nothing but the mat as Delilah gets up as quickly as she can and grabs Milli from behind hitting her with a Saito Suplex! Delilah Rose shows Milli that she can do what she can but a bit better as she hits her with a Standing Shooting Star Press! Delilah smirks a bit as she starts to drag her to the corner as she turns around and slaps Rory Slate out of nowhere before she quickly picks up Milli and puts her on top of the top rope as she starts to climb it as well and hook her into a Superplex as she doesn’t notice Rory tagging herself in as she hits Milli Banks with the Superplex that she quickly transitions into a Falcon Arrow!
Stew-O: Delilah Rose now going for the cover, but the referee tells her that he can’t as she tries arguing with the referee before she turns around and is met with a Diving Knee Strike from the legal partner, Rory Slate as she starts to stomp down on Delilah Rose nonstop! She quickly drags Delilah over to the ropes as she picks her up and places her outside the ring, slowly brings Delilah in through the middle rope as the referee starts to count, but Rory doesn’t care as she hits Delilah with a Rope Hung Butterfly Backbreaker! Slowly, Rory picks up Delilah from her head as she leaves her kneeling as she takes a few steps and hits her with a vicious Knee Strike to her head as Rory starts to hook in the Reverse STF wrenching on that head she targeted with that knee strike as Delilah tries to escape from, but the hold is too tight! Delilah uses all her strength to push herself on top of Rory as Delilah has a cover on her! Rory quickly lets go before a count can happen as Rory tries to hook her in it again, but Delilah is able to grab Rory as well as she hits her with a Ripcord Dropkick!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Delilah Rose tags in Bea Valentine to allow herself some time to rest up as Bea quickly goes for Insult to Injury on the downed Rory as she executes it effortlessly as she looks at Milli with a confident smirk as she starts to deadlift Rory Slate to hit her with a vicious German Suplex! Bea is moving smoothly inside that ring as she quickly goes up to the top rope on the turnbuckle as she takes a few seconds to taunt as she dives off and hits Rory with a Diving Elbow Drop! Bea quickly gets up as she targets Rory’s head by stomping on it as she turns her over and puts her in a Crossface Submission hold as she locks in the hold tightly and starts to wrench it! Rory tries to use all her strength to crawl towards the rope to get a rope break, but Bea doesn’t let her as she quickly tries to drag her back to the middle of the ring… Rory Slate uses that opening as she kicks Bea right on the face and drops her with a Drop Toe Hold as she gets up and starts hitting Bea Valentine with Grounded Shoot Kick’s nonstop!
Jake Mercer: She quickly tries to deadlift Bea from behind as she successfully hits a Deadlift German Suplex as Rory Slate is making sure that Bea Valentine gets a taste of her own medicine here tonight! Rory Slate is proving that her time is coming VERY soon because she’s just that good and best believe if the other two elitists she’s facing here tonight didn’t call their shots again Milli… We would have probably seen a new champion in Rory Slate, but back to the action as Rory Slate hits her own Diving Elbow Drop on Bea Valentine as she slowly gets up and takes her sweet time as she tags in Milli Banks back into the match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: As Milli tries to grab Bea Valentine, Bea is able to roll out of the ring last minute into safety as she slowly picks herself up as she uses the barricade to help herself back up on her own two feet as she turns around looking up as she is HIT with a Tope De Hilo from Milli Banks as they’re both down, but Milli Kip-Ups as she grabs Bea Valentine and throws her back inside the ring to stop the count. Milli gets up on the apron as she runs towards the turnbuckle as she climbs up and starts to yell at Bea Valentine to get up!
Stew-O: Bea slowly gets up as she’s quickly taken down once again with a beautiful Diving Hurricanrana by our EAW Specialist Champion, Milli Banks! Bea Valentine starts to drag herself to the corner slowly as Milli Banks quickly picks her up and tries to Irish Whip her into said corner, but Bea Valentine is able to reverse it as she’s able to Irish Whip Milli into the corner instead! Bea Valentine now unleashes a barrage of Chops to the chest of Milli as she quickly starts to pick her up and puts her on the middle rope, as she gets under Milli to position her into a Powerbomb position, and HITS her with a Corner Sitout Powerbomb! Bea is now going for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THR-!!!
Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks kicks out before the three! Bea Valentine is definitely not happy about this as she quickly grabs Milli from her hair as she’s dragged back up towards Bea’s team former as she grabs her by the head slowly backing up and…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Delilah Rose tags herself back in as they both grab Milli as they both attempt to go for a Double Suplex on her, but Milli is able to stay grounded as she hits a DDT on both ladies laying them both down into the mat as Bea Valentine starts to roll out! Milli doesn’t let this opening go to waste as she goes for “Bank Roll” once again as the first pair of knees land in the Insult of Injury maneuver and the second pair land flawlessly as Delilah’s torso will definitely be feeling that for at least a week but Milli isn’t done just yet here as she slowly picks up Delilah and tries to go for a Sunset Flip Powerbomb, but Delilah is able to get out and push Milli towards the ropes…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Rory Slate tags herself in again as Milli Banks rebounds off the rope and hits Delilah with a Dropkick as she Kip-Ups back on her feet as she notices Rory hitting a Swanton Bomb on Delilah and going for the cover as Milli Banks heads back to the apron as the referee starts the count!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THR-!!!
Jake Mercer: Delilah Rose kicks out as Rory slowly tries to pick her up, but Delilah is able to throw a punch to Rory’s gut as she quickly hits her with an Uppercut as well leaving her groggy. Delilah picks herself up from the kneeling position as she quickly positions Rory Slate into a Package Piledriver and drives her head first down on the mat! She’s not done just yet as she runs the ropes and hits a Springboard Moonsault on the downed Rory Slate as she flips her around and locks her into a Crossface submission hold!
Stew-O: Delilah tries her hardest to tighten the submission hold on Rory, but Rory Slate is able to reach for the ropes as the referee starts to tell Delilah to get off as he starts to count. Delilah gets off as she tries to grab Rory Slate from her legs as Rory quickly kicks Delilah in the face allowing her enough time to get back up and hit Delilah with a Snap DDT as Delilah rolls out of the ring for some breathing room. Rory Slate runs the ropes as quickly as she can, diving through the middle rope and hitting Delilah with a Suicide Dive that sends her crashing onto the barricade as Rory isn’t done just yet as she picks Delilah Rose and puts her in a Powerbomb position. She quickly makes her way to the apron as she Powerbombs onto the apron and then swings her onto it before dropping her down as she slowly picks her up by her hair and throws her inside the ring as she rolls back in as well.
Jake Mercer: Well, I think this may be the beginning of the end as Rory is preparing for the move we all love as she tries to hook in her ‘Protect Ya Neck’ Arm Trapped Piledriver… but Delilah is able to push Rory off her as Rory’s pushed to her corner and as she’s about to leave her corner…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks tags herself in as Rory Slate has an almost offended look on her face as she looks back at Milli and starts brawling out with her as Bea Valentine sees this as an opportunity to get the upperhand in this whole contest as she attacks Delilah from behind and both teams just cannot co-exist as each of them are fighting their own partners! What is this madness?!?
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been ruled as a… NO CONTEST!
Flannery McCoy: Well it doesn’t seem to matter to any of these ladies as they continue to beat down on each other with no sign of stopping as full chaos has been unleashed inside the ring as nothing but pure rage is at display as they continue to throw punches back and forth as Bea Valentine throws Delilah out of the ring while Milli Banks is Irish Whipped by Rory Slate towards Bea Valentine’s direction as Bea moves out of the way, but that looks like a bad idea as Milli Banks uses the ropes to hit Bea Valentine with “Foreclosure” as Milli hits the Springboard Backflip Inverted DDT on her!
Stew-O: It looks like Rory Slate sees an opening here as she tries to hit Milli Banks with her “GTFO” Double Arm DDT finishing maneuver, but the EAW Specialist Champion is able to slip away and quickly grab Rory to hit her with “Bankrupt” as Rory Slate is laid out and Milli Banks stands tall, but wait what’s this?!? DELILAH ROSE FROM BEHIND WITH THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF MILLI BANKS LAYING HER OUT! SHE’S NOT DONE AS SHE QUICKLY GOES TO THE TOP ROPE AS SHE HITS MILLI WITH “FUNERAL FOR YESTERDAY” AS THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS ON MILLI!!!
Flannery McCoy: It seems Delilah Rose waited it out when she was thrown out of the ring and her patience was rewarded as she stands tall above the rest of the ladies in this match as she grabs the EAW Specialist Championships and raises it above her head with a confident smirk on her face. Could this be what we see at House of Glass?!?
(Delilah Rose holds the championship above her head for a bit before putting it back down and laying it on Milli Banks as she starts to walks out of the ring as the camera transitions to show all the other elitists laid out from the chaos that occurred inside the ring as the scene fades to black.)
(A commercial is shown for Death Note featuring Ronan Malosi.)
(The camera cuts backstage to SOSA Henderson in the parking garage, arms crossed as he looks around, clearly waiting for someone, but he doesn’t have to wait for long as a limo arrives, and a chauffeur steps out to open the door for Rick Ross, who steps out the limo to a loud positive reaction from fans, and looks over to his chauffeur.)
Rick Ross: ‘Preciate you, brotha.
(The chauffeur nods, and Rick’s attention is turned to SOSA as he speaks up.)
SOSA Henderson: “Boss” Rick Ross, what’s going on, baby?
(Rick Ross chuckles, and daps SOSA up.)
Rick Ross: Nothing much, nothing much. Apologies for leaving you waiting, man, but you know, traffic here can be a bitch and shit.
SOSA Henderson: All good. Just matters that you here, so we can discuss business.
Rick Ross: Yeah, with that walrus looking mafaka, right?
(SOSA cracks a smirk, almost laughing.)
SOSA Henderson: Yeah, him.
Rick Ross: Ight, bet. But first, I want to take a stop by that blonde bitch’s office, and give her a piece of my mind, ya feel me? I can’t believe she’d try playing on yo name like that, dawg, especially after everything you did at TI, being sole survivor and all that.
SOSA Henderson: Trust me, neither could I.
Rick Ross: I’m telling you, just let me give her a piece of my mind. Remember, you the employee here, not me. Her ass can’t do shit. I’m basically bulletproof.
SOSA Henderson: I appreciate it, but that’s not needed. Me and you are going straight to Albert’s office, and there, we going to find out the type of man he is, whether that be a man of his word, or a flat out liar.
Rick Ross: And what if he’s a liar?
SOSA Henderson: Then do I even need to say what’s gone happen? Him and his client gone have a new problem to deal with, and it’s me, so for his sake, I hope Hitchman isn’t lying. Besides, this can be huge for us, a World Title opportunity at House of Glass.
Rick Ross: Oh, I’m seeing the vision, now let’s go make it come true.
(Both SOSA and Rick fist bump each other before heading off to Albert Hitchman’s office, which they don’t have much trouble finding. Rick Ross starts to bang on the door repeatedly, taking no breaks between knocks until Albert Hitchman finally opens the door, annoyed.)
Albert Hitchman: WHA-
(Albert cuts himself off once he realizes who is on the other side of the door.)
Albert Hitchman: Oh. Gentlemen! SOSA, I see you brought “Boss” Rick Ross here with you. What an honor it is to be in your presence, sir.
Rick Ross: Yeah, let’s skip the chit chat man. You know why we’re here, and that’s to talk business.
Albert Hitchman: Of course, of course! Come in!
(Both SOSA and Rick Ross enter the office, shaking hands with Albert as they pass by him. Albert closes the door, and sits down on his desk to address both men, who look around, admiring the place slightly.)
Albert Hitchman: I take it you’re a fan of the office?
SOSA Henderson: Something like that.
Rick Ross: That’s not important. Remind him why we here, SOSA.
SOSA Henderson: Same reason I came to you last week. To remind you that you’re the only reason I’m not Interwire Champion, and for that, I want compensation. I want a World Heavyweight Title match at House of Glass. Now, I understand that there’s a World Heavyweight Title match going on tonight, but it doesn’t matter who wins, whether that be Myles or Bronson. Either way, SOSA Henderson becomes Champion at their expense.
Rick Ross: AY! TALK TO EM!
Albert Hitchman: Actually, SOSA, it does matter who wins tonight.
SOSA Henderson: And why is that?
Albert Hitchman: Well, let me rephrase, it may not matter to you who wins tonight, but to me? To The Kaiser? It does. See, we have a vested interest in Bronson Daniels’ title reign, mainly to see it die an ugly, excruciating death. We want to make sure the right person ends his poor excuse for a title reign, but most of all, we want a hand in it. If Myles wins tonight, then that alters things greatly for us.
(Albert Hitchman chuckles to himself.)
Albert Hitchman: What am I saying “if Myles wins?” At this point, it’s when Myles wins. After all, Bronson Daniels is one of the most unconvincing charity case champions in Elite Answers Wrestling history, for crying out loud. Anytime he steps out there to defend that title, it’s a gamble. BUT. As it stands, Bronson Daniels is still the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, and we can’t talk in hypotheticals.
Rick Ross: So, is he getting the title shot or not, man, you wasting my time with all this damn talking.
Albert Hitchman: Look, I can’t give you an answer right now. As I said last week, it’s not up to me, it’s up to The Kaiser, and so far, The Kaiser has yet to make a decision, and until he makes a decision, I’m practically powerless when it comes to SOSA’s World Title opportunity being granted or not.
Rick Ross: So, what you telling me is your ass can’t make decisions?
Albert Hitchman: Well, sorta, but-
Rick Ross: Then why we talking to you? Where’s this “Kaiser” at then?
Albert Hitchman: Mr. Ross, I assure you, whatever you say to me gets directly through to The Kaiser.
Rick Ross: Well, did you tell this Kaiser that my man, SOSA, gone break his foot off in his ass if he ain’t given what he’s owed?
Albert Hitchman: I made sure to include something like that after SOSA warned me about the possible “consequences” that followed if Andre were to say no.
Rick Ross: And what? Your Kaiser laughed him off? Thought he was a joke or sumn?
Albert Hitchman: Trust me, Mr. Ross, Andre would never take SOSA Henderson for a joke. He and I both know exactly what this man is capable of. As a matter of fact, if he were to give you that title match against Bronson Daniels, I know that SOSA wouldn’t disappoint and would take that title from Bronson. But again, it’s not in my control.
(Rick Ross and SOSA are clearly annoyed by this, expecting to have been granted the title match right here.)
Albert Hitchman: Calm down, I see that you’re both upset and understandably so. Who doesn’t love instant gratification? But here’s the thing: I promised you last week, SOSA, that I’d have an answer for you tonight, and it may not be here now, but it’ll be here tonight. I get you have your reservations about me, but trust that Albert Hitchman is a man of his word.
(Rick Ross and SOSA look to each other, highly doubtful of that.)
Albert Hitchman: Look, you guys are welcome back in my office anytime, but right now, I have no answer for you just yet, so until then, I recommend you step out, mingle a bit, whatever it is that you guys do for fun, and once I have an answer, you’ll be the first people I talk to. Deal?
(Albert sticks his hand out for a handshake, and SOSA looks to Rick, on the fence if he should accept or not.)
Rick Ross: It’s up to you, playa.
(SOSA thinks about it, and shakes Albert’s hand, prompting a smile to grow on Hitchman’s face.)
SOSA Henderson: Deal.
Albert Hitchman: Excellent! See, you two are smart businessmen. Talk to you later.
(Both SOSA and Rick Ross nod to Hitchman, and leave his office. Now, left alone, Albert takes a seat in his comfy office chair, and relaxes as the crowd pours down with boos upon him as the camera fades back to ringside.)
(“Unfuckwithable” by Deez Nuts begins to play and the duo of Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart, known together as the Jaded Hearts, make their way out into view on the stage! The two of them take a moment to pose at the top of the ramp before starting down to the ring together side by side, confident and sure looks on their faces as they come down the aisle.)
Stew-O: Things seemed to get a little interesting last week when we saw Sienna approach Kassidy and it didn’t take long to figure out just what exactly they seemed to have in mind. We know they’ve got an opportunity to go after the Unified Tag Team Championships, and I can’t help but get the sense that this reunion we’re seeing take place is all leading up to that!
Flannery McCoy: The Jaded Hearts started making waves as a team all the way back on Empire and from the way the EAW Universe has gotten to know them over the years, everyone knows that these two have given us one of the most critical and essential teams in EAW history.
Jake Mercer: Remember how they hated you? :mjlol:
Flannery McCoy: That’s not what’s important here 🙄
(Getting into the ring together, Kassidy and Sienna look more than pleased with having all eyes on them. With both of them holding microphones and Kassidy adjusting the Universal Women’s Championship to be on her shoulder, they allow Sienna’s music to fade out before they start to speak.)
Sienna Jade: You know, Kass, I had the most honestly bizarre thought earlier today and I swear it made me sick to my stomach: “What if we weren’t the Jaded Hearts?”
(A disgusted look appears on Kassidy’s face as she tries to follow along with the question.)
Sienna Jade: I know, I know, it sounds appalling as hell – but hear me out! I mean, I was just sitting there looking at my gorgeous reflection in the mirror and the question just literally hit me out of nowhere. And the more I got to thinking, the more I came to realize that without you and I – without us being the Jaded Hearts – this company wouldn’t have been the same. Think of the history made, think of the moments that people will never forget – just look at what happened at Territorial Invasion and how the matches we were a part of meant so much more because we were in them.
Kassidy Heart: Honestly, Sienna, I couldn’t agree more. Would Charlie Marr versus Madison Kaline have been that much of an intriguing match-up without you involved? I think it’s safe to say that you, me, and everyone else know the answer to that one. Would Bethany have been as invested as she was in trying to ruin the outcome of War Games for anyone else not named Kassidy Heart if it wasn’t for her embarrassing, years-long obsession to get beat by me? The fact is, our presence in anything and everything that we do – alone or together – makes it all mean that much more because we’re just that undeniably great and we’ve got all the accomplishments and awards to show for it. A lot of people hate us simply because we’re successful, they want us to “step aside” and let other people get their chance to shine like this shit should be getting handed out like candy all because Sienna and I have “had our time” – but to hell with all that. We haven’t done all that we have just to play nice and take backseats to people we know aren’t better than us just so they can have time to play catch-up and convince themselves they’re on our level. We’ve both attained Hall of Fame careers for damn good reasons, and regardless of whether people want to admit it or not, it’s because we know how to thrive in this business.
(Kassidy actually seems to have amused herself as she holds back a short laugh while shaking her head and sighing into her microphone.)
Sienna Jade: Our careers are all the proof anyone needs to see that. Be that as solo competitors or as a team with a bond that no one else could possibly contend with, and it’s because of all we’ve been through – together, especially – that the Jaded Hearts will always be a core part of who we are. There’s no better time to prove that than now and after last week, I’m sure it goes without saying that there was a buzz about just what exactly the two of us had in mind because it was clear enough to everyone that we’re once again prepared to take something we’ve waited long enough for. Sure, our legacy as a team is already solidified and we’re going to go down in history as one of, if not the best team in EAW history – but like my gorgeous Kassi-poo said herself, we’re Hall of Famers for a reason and it’s not because we let our opportunities go by without going in to capitalize on them. We know people have been waiting and waiting for the two of us to take our shot at the Unified Tag Team Championships, and with the path to those looking clearer than ever, we’re ready to put that chance we have to use and claim those Championships.
Kassidy Heart: People are undoubtedly gonna try to get cute and make it out to seem like we haven’t really been interested in those Championships because we didn’t go after them right away or whatever, but we’ve been dealing with our own personal business that we both agreed was better off being dealt with first – we didn’t need the distractions. With how things became start-stop over the last year and a half pertaining to us reuniting full-time, what with something like The High Rollerz and how one of them decided to hightailed it out of EAW before things could really pick up and the other just went on being a whiny afterthought who’s truly not worth our time anymore. Don’t think for a second we weren’t interested in leaving no doubt about us being the best team EAW has ever seen, but The High Rollerz ducking us pretty much solidified it for us. Between things like that and other situations, we knew the smart thing to do was to keep our opportunity in our back pocket for a future date and that time has come. In the meantime, we’ve been very much aware of the tag team division and how it’s gotten more competitive and it’s why we can’t really say that POTARA hasn’t been doing their job in representing those Championships.
Sienna Jade: But let’s also be real here, it’s not like any of those teams have been the Jaded Hearts or even on our level. I mean look at the other options here, DOMINON & Ice Aces have sucked so much that one of their members finally decided to beat the crap out of the other, Off-Brand Amphetamines haven’t been worthwhile since we handed them those titles on a silver platter, Cosmic Captains.. don’t make me laugh, NICHOLISM & KAI-ZEN are the latest in the line of random teams formed who thinks capitalizing their names is supposed to make them edgy.. big fucking deal. Speaking of big deals, I guess we’re supposed to pretend like the Midcard Mafia aka DevoLOSERS are a big deal and our competition now because half of Showdown’s programming is those clowns being shoved down our throats. Not impressed!
Kassidy Heart: Sure is a shame how hard Showdown’s fallen since I left the brand. From Kassidy Heart in the marquee… to Jon Kelton.
Sienna Jade: Damn shame. But thankfully we’re here to lead by example and show the tag division what a real team with real stars is like. We’re the kind of team that they’ve really been waiting on to defend against, a team that’s unquestionably going to be the biggest defense that they have – but it’s also going to be the last time they walk into any show as the reigning Unified Tag Team Champions. Don’t get us wrong, they’ve been a great team – but they’re going to learn that there’s one hell of a difference in being a great team and being the greatest. As a matter of fact, they’ll be learning that about a month from now, when we plan to come and take those titles at Wicked Games.
(The crowd in attendance buzzes at the intended venue and the Jaded Hearts nod along, clearly just as looking forward to it themselves.)
Sienna Jade: Aren’t we literally so kind to give them advance notice about their loss?! Not too many other people would be so gracious! But actually, since we know we had everyone talking with just the hint everyone got last week, we’re confident that it made the rounds and surely found its way to Harper and Holly before tonight. So, that’s why we wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to show up to Dynasty to say something about it and we know how much those two love to talk, so how about coming on out and making it official?!
(Sienna and Kassidy turn to face the stage together and the EAW Universe in the stands is audibly anxious for a confrontation between the two teams, knowing that the four women in the same ring together is sure to be a highlight! Sienna motions impatiently for the arrival of Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, but still gets no response.)
Sienna Jade: Maybe they’re not here after all, which kinda sucks since I was really looking forward to reminding Harper how I beat her for the Universal Women’s Title and now take another one from her!
Kassidy Heart: True, true! But you know, I’m sure we’ll be running into them soon enough as it is, so why don’t we just-
(“They Call Me a God” by NEFFEX interrupts Kassidy and the crowd bursts into cheers as Ms. Extreme makes her way out! There’s a grin on her face and Kassidy can’t help but roll her eyes and scowl, with Sienna looking on confused.)
Jake Mercer: That’s not who they called out to the ring :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Wow, Jake, what an astute observation! Ms. Extreme coming out here just as Sienna and Kassidy were about to leave the ring is definitely something they weren’t expecting, or any of us really. But for whatever reason, Camille is here to make her presence felt!
Stew-O: We know Kassidy and Ms. Extreme have a future match for the Universal Women’s Championship, so to see the current Champion and the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion both in the same ring knowing their history with each other – we know this could get heated and fast!
(Ms. Extreme makes her way down into the ring with a microphone and mockingly waves to the two women inside before joining them, standing across from the two Hall of Famers. Her music fades out and she looks as smug as ever, no doubt happy to see the annoyed expressions on the faces of the Jaded Hearts.)
Ms. Extreme: POTARA may not be here, but I sure as hell am. I was there in the back watching and listening to this all go down, and I couldn’t help but notice that Kassidy here hasn’t said a word about how she’s got a defense for the Universal Women’s Championship coming up against me.
Kassidy Heart: Because this isn’t about you, Camille-
Ms. Extreme: And yet, it should be. See, you’re coming out here talking about how there are finally no distractions on your guys’ road to the Unified Tag Team Championships, that there’s nothing that could possibly derail your guys’ focus – but that focus isn’t gonna be as clear as you’d like it to be when you’re still reeling from losing the Championship that I made relevant again after some overhyped, overrated reigns. Kassidy, your focus is on the wrong thing right now and the fact that you wanted to come out here tonight to make a show out of calling out POTARA instead of focusing on the biggest threat to that title you’re holding is why I can’t stand the sight of you with it. You love acting like you’re so untouchable, so unbothered or just flat-out bored with the competition that you have to face all the time and when you finally have the chance to come stand face-to-face with the woman who’s more than capable of taking that title from you, you’re not doing a damn thing about it.
(Kassidy waves dismissively at her future challenger, another eye roll from the Champion.)
Kassidy Heart: First of all, I don’t owe you a damn thing. Not my attention, not my time, and certainly not any real concern when it comes to my reign as the only legitimate two-time, two-time Universal Women’s Champion. But I get it, you saw me and Sienna wanting to further our legacy as the greatest team that EAW has ever had and you felt overlooked, like an afterthought, like you didn’t matter – but you’re an Ava so I’m not sure what all this ugly huffing and puffing is about when all of that should only be something that comes natural to you. I mean, sure, you won the Brand Warfare Match at Territorial Invasion as the Team Captain to get this opportunity and while getting a team together that was capable of winning is nothing to scoff at – trust me, I would know – it’s not like you’re going to be the woman who actually ends my reign. As much as you might wish that you were, you’re not on my level and to so much as even imply that I don’t want anything to do with you like I’m scared is a dangerous game to play with me, when I’d be more than happy to show you exactly why you’re wrong.
Ms. Extreme: Who said anything about being scared? What I’m talking about is your disgusting ego and how you’re always just so wrapped up in it, proving time and again that you’re DEDEDE’s little pet project. I’m sure that’d get me earful about how you weren’t chosen to succeed or whatever early on and all that, but you’ve got that nasty, whiny attitude when things don’t go your way or you don’t get what you want when you want it that some people wouldn’t be able to pick out of a crowded room of some of those same women. Watching you parade around the way that you do is damn near suffocating – not just for me but for everyone else, too. They might be too scared to be out here to say something like the way that I’m standing toe-to-toe with the woman in her Hannibal Lecter cosplay, all because you’re the chairman’s wife, but when the hell have I ever cared about something like that? I’m here to tell you to your damn face that this mystique that you think you’ve created for yourself, this unbeatable aura you think you have, is getting the plug pulled on it by none other than me. We’ll see who’s overlooked or feeling like an afterthought then when I cut this reign of yours short; but hopefully you’ll still be okay enough to win those Unified Tag Team Titles.
(Ms. Extreme’s tone is mockingly sympathetic at the end and she can’t help but grin confidently, while Sienna looks back and forth between the two women before feeling the need to speak up.)
Sienna Jade: Actually, she’ll be carrying the Universal Women’s Title and one-half of the Unified Tag Team Championships because to even question whether we’d be there for each other like that is beyond ridiculous. It just goes to show that you don’t know a damn thing about Kassidy or the Jaded Hearts, but should we really expect anything better from the same woman who wanted to act like she was too good for a Pain for Pride match against Impact?
Ms. Extreme: Did Kassidy or Karlisle give you permission to speak, Sienna? I’m shocked you even bothered to butt in, but I guess since there are Championships involved in the conversation, you can actually be assed to make your presence felt! Too bad that your words don’t mean anything to me though, because if I didn’t care for Impact that way, then just imagine how I get when I’m going after something that I DO care about. Believe me when I say that I’m prepared to be a whole hell of a lot more relentless, a whole lot more deadly, a whole hell of a lot more savage.
(This seems to earn some genuine laughter from the reigning Universal Women’s Champion, and Ms. Extreme looks her over knowing that there wasn’t a damn thing that meant to be funny about her intentions for going after the Universal Women’s Title.)
Kassidy Heart: Please, be serious for once, Ms. Extreme. The only way this reign gets cut short is if something goes horrifically wrong out in the ring when I’m facing off against you and seeing as how I proved I was better than you even in your own wheel house last season, I would’ve thought you’d learn to keep your words short and sweet. But an Ava is gonna Ava. You’re going to be just like Miku Sakai acting like you’re all tough and hype yourself up, but on the inside, you know better just like she did. After what I’ve been through to get to this spot again, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into and if you think that I’d be stupid enough to willingly make a mistake like not taking furthering my legacy as the greatest Elitist of this generation seriously, I can’t wait to give you the biggest goddamn slap of reality that you’re so clearly in dire need of. Just because you’ve been the one chosen to be my next victim doesn’t mean I can’t look for other opportunities as well.
Ms. Extreme: “Next victim”? That’s funny, real cute – but Ms. Extreme is no one’s victim. It’s even better that I’m not Miku Sakai, because unlike her, I’m gonna do what she couldn’t and that’s rip that Universal Women’s Championship away from you before you can even really get to say that you really held it to do something more memorable with it. Hell, when I do and get you crying about how I ended your reign prematurely, maybe I’ll go around saying that I’m the actual first two-time, two-time Universal Women’s Champion who’s even worth talking about!
Sienna Jade: Ugh, could you be any more lame? Trying to ruin something like that for Kassidy is just reminding me of how you tried to get in the way of me becoming the first-ever Freeweight Champion in REVOLT!, but how did that one turn out for you, huh? The same way that trying to take the Universal Women’s Championship is going to end for you now.
Ms. Extreme: You mean back before people thought you’d ever turn out to be the one in Kassidy’s shadow? Back when I was actually interested in facing you in the ring when it meant something to get into the ring with you? Because nowadays, Sienna Jade isn’t exactly so much to talk about on her own even with a Hall of Fame ring and from the looks of things, I’d say you know that too since you went right back to Kassidy after that dud of a Territorial Invasion match you had.
Sienna Jade: Cow-mille gets one good reign – and what’s sure to be her one and only World Championship reign – and suddenly she thinks she can just go around saying just anything to anyone, it’s pathetic! I honestly, truly cannot wait to see Kassidy put you back in your place and remind you to stay in line at the bottom of the barrel where you and your Kardashian-wannabe sisters belong.
Ms. Extreme: Fat jokes and a Kardashian joke – real original, totally not done before! But look at you relying on other people’s jokes, no surprise there since you’re always relying on someone else to keep you actually relevant when you don’t have the spotlight to yourself.
Sienna Jade: We’ll see just who I’m relying on when I’m single-handedly kicking your ass all around this ring! Let’s get a ref out here right now!
(Ms. Extreme and Sienna both throw down their microphones while they’re yelling at each other, meanwhile a ring official comes hurrying down the ramp and into the ring to keep them separated until the match properly begins!)
Stew-O: What a way to lead into this match against two of the best in EAW!
Flannery McCoy: It was already set to be a heated match-up but it looks like things just got a little more personal out here, we’ve got this match coming to you next!
(A quick commercial break ensues for Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, featuring EAW legend Ronn Banks.)
(The camera returns from commercial break and we see that there is a referee in the ring with Ms. Extreme and Sienna Jade. The Universal Women’s Champion Kassidy Heart is at ringside as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty and here we go! No ring introductions for this match. We are getting right down to business with this next match. Singles action on tap as two former World Champions collide. Sienna Jade and Ms. Extreme are about to go one on one right here.
Flannery McCoy: Sienna and Camille meet up in the center of the ring and they lock up in the hopes of getting the advantage in this match. They are about even in terms of size, but Extreme might have the power advantage in this match, but it’s Sienna Jade who gets the early advantage with a side headlock.
Jake Mercer: With someone as successful and glorious as our King Kass, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Ms. Extreme is off her game just a little bit. But look at Sienna Jade really wrench in that headlock. Ohh, if I was Ms. Extreme, I would have eyes in the back of my head with what she said to King Kass just moments ago. I’m surprised Kass didn’t knock her teeth out.
Stew-O: Cooler heads did prevail this time around. Sienna snapmares her over and now they are on the ground. Besides, you are nuts! Do you really think that Camille will be off her game because Kass is out here? Yeah… no. Ms. Extreme is intimidated by NOBODY!
Jake Mercer: Suit yourself. Just keep watching the match because this reminds me of a time in 1977 when—
Flannery McCoy: Not now, Jake! Camille has been trying to fight out of the headlock AND SHE DOES BY GETTING HER LEGS WRAPPED AROUND SIENNA’S NECK IN A MODIFIED HEADSCISSORS!
Jake Mercer: But look! Sienna is getting herself into position to FLIP FORWARD INTO A JACKKNIFE PIN EARLY ON, BUT SOMEHOW MS. EXTREME KEEPS HER SHOULDERS UP TO PREVENT A COVER!
Stew-O: Camille has her arms wrapped around Sienna’s waist AND THEY BOTH BRIDGE UP AND BACK TO THEIR FEET! But Ms. Extreme still has her arms wrapped around Sienna’s waist AND SHE TAKES HER UP AND OVER WITH A GUTWRENCH SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Ms. Extreme can pull a suplex out of thin air if given the chance and her all-around style of competition makes her very dangerous. You don’t want to let her build up any momentum, or it could spell trouble!
Stew-O: That’s exactly what she is doing now AS SHE DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF SIENNA’S HEAD, SENDING HER TO THE ROPES! Extreme is back on her feet AND SHE RUNS TO SIENNA AGAIN WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK THAT SENDS SIENNA OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR!
Flannery McCoy: As we can see, Kassidy is showing no signs of worry and no signs of any emotion change besides cheering Sienna on.
Jake Mercer: Of course she isn’t! Sienna can turn this around whenever she so chooses because that’s why she is a Hall of Famer like King Kass. They can get the job done. Now what is Camille doing?
Stew-O: Camille is getting a head of steam AS SHE GOES FULL SPEED AHEAD TO THE ROPES BEFORE DIVING THROUGH AND TAKING SIENNA JADE DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! You never know what to expect from Ms. Extreme because she can and will literally pull anything out of her bag of tricks to throw at her opponents.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, no wonder Ms. Extreme has a few screws loose in that head of hers. It’s all of those high risk moves that made her a little on the nutsy cuckoo side of life. Look at King Kass. She is still not worried. She has not left that spot she started in when the bell rang. She is taking in all the information she can so she can be ready for House of Glass.
Flannery McCoy: Camille still needs to stay on guard, though. Because Kassidy could strike at any moment. Right now, she’s keeping her distance as Extreme brings up Sienna Jade and rolls her right back into the ring.
Jake Mercer: King Kass is playing it cool. She knows not to worry or anything like that. But Ms. Extreme is back in the ring and she gets on the second rope. Sienna Jade isn’t moving AS MS. EXTREME GOES FOR LEG DROP FROM THE SECOND ROPE–
Stew-O: NOBODY HOME AS SIENNA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND CAMILLE FINDS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! She won’t sprain her ankles the way she landed.
Flannery McCoy: But it does give Sienna Jade a chance to recover. Sienna is back to her feet AS SHE PLANTS A STIFF KICK RIGHT INTO THE SPINE OF MS. EXTREME! THAT SHOT SEEMED TO ALMOST PARALYZE HER FOR A SECOND!
Stew-O: Expert footwork being shown by Sienna Jade as she brings Ms. Extreme back to her feet. Camille is still trying to shake off the effects of the kick as she gets thrown into the corner. Sienna quickly follows up WITH A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: Camille hits the turnbuckles once more as Sienna Jade pushes and holds her back. Sienna has her hand up AND JUST CHOPS HER HARD ACROSS THE CHEST! Camille certainly felt that one. But Sienna just holds her once more AND CHOPS HER ACROSS THE CHEST AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: Camille comes stumbling out of the corner holding her chest as Sienna CLOBBERS CAMILLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A POWERFUL FOREARM!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme falls to her knees as Sienna goes to hit the ropes and she COMES RIGHT BACK WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD THAT TAKES CAMILLE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Now we see King Kassidy Heart cheering on Sienna Jade from ringside as Sienna has full control of this match. Sienna now rolls Ms. Extreme onto her back BEFORE DROPPING THE KNEE RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna pulls Camille back over AND THIS TIME DROPS THE KNEE A LITTLE HIGHER! THAT COULD INJURE A RIB OR TWO IF SIENNA KEEPS THAT UP!
Jake Mercer: That could be exactly what King Kass wants? Damage Ms. Extreme as much as possible before House of Glass to make things easier for her title defense. Sounds like a good plan. Methodical and beautiful. She’s a deadly combination.
Stew-O: Of course she is. But right now, Ms. Extreme is holding her midsection after those knee drops as Sienna gets her in position FOR ANOTHER KNEE DROP–
Flannery McCoy: THIS TIME, THERE IS NOBODY HOME FOR SIENNA AS CAMILLE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND SIENNA’S KNEE HITS THE MAT HARD! Extreme is still feeling the effects of the knee drop as she gets back to her feet.
Stew-O: But she doesn’t waste any time, letting her instincts take over AS SHE RUNS RIGHT TO SIENNA AND HITS HER WITH A KNEE RIGHT IN THE FACE! SIENNA HOLDS HER NOSE AS SHE FALLS TO THE MAT! Now Camille takes advantage and just starts pounding Sienna in the face with those closed fists.
Flannery McCoy: Turnabout is fair play in this situation, I guess. Sienna tries to break some ribs and Camille is trying to break her nose. But the referee is right there to tell Camille to open up the fists. The referee is up to four and Camille finally obliges.
Jake Mercer: They just need to disqualify her for not listening to the referee, but I guess not as Ms. Extreme brings Sienna back to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Sienna comes back AND CAMILLE JUMPS UP–
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME WITH A FRANKENSTEINER THAT TAKES SIENNA JADE UP AND OVER! That doesn’t stop Camille from picking up Sienna Jade and bringing her back to her feet. Extreme is going for the belly to back suplex–
Jake Mercer: SIENNA JADE WITH A BACK ELBOW THAT CATCHES MS. EXTREME RIGHT IN THE FACE! Camille staggers back, but Sienna catches up to her with a headlock BEFORE DROPPING CAMILLE WITH AN INVERTED DDT!
Flannery McCoy: The back of Ms. Extreme’s head is planted hard as Sienna rolls her onto her stomach BEFORE SHE GOES ONTO CAMILLE BY SLOWLY CRAWLING ONTO HER BACK! THAT IS SO WEIRD!
Jake Mercer: Call it whatever you want but it leads to Sienna Jade JUST RAKING CAMILLE’S BACK WITH THOSE NAILS! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF CAMILLE’S BACK IS BLEEDING RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: AND SIENNA JADE FOLLOWS UP WITH MORE STIFF KICKS TO CAMILLE’S BACK RIGHT THERE! Sienna Jade is playing for keeps in this match!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna Jade pulls Camille back to her feet and puts her head down in the powerbomb position and that is not a good place to have it.
Stew-O: Sienna showing some power as she lifts Camille up in the air and over her shoulder. SIENNA HAS HER IN POSITION FOR THE “CLAPBACK”! SIENNA GRABS CAMILLE’S NECK—
Flannery McCoy: BUT CAMILLE GETS FREE AND ROLLS THROUGH THE “CLAPBACK”! SIENNA CAUGHT IN A SUNSET FLIP–
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA ALSO ROLLS THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED! Is it just me or has there been not one official pin count in this match? This is weird. I haven’t seen this happen since a match I saw in 1982.
Stew-O: One of your weird stories might have some accuracy for once as Sienna gets back to her feet AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK RIGHT INTO CAMILLE’S FACE!
Jake Mercer: Ms. Extreme didn’t see that coming as the dropkick sends her head over heels. Camille is on her stomach AND SIENNA JADE HAS A CAMEL CLUTCH APPLIED! WE HAVE A SUBMISSION!
Flannery McCoy: First submission of the night applied and the referee is checking on Camille to see if she wants to give up this match right here.
Jake Mercer: As much as I love anybody who is associated with King Kass, I can recognize that Ms. Extreme has enough fight and determination to not tap out in a match unless it is a very last resort.
Stew-O: Right now it’s Sienna Jade torquing Ms. Extreme’s back, BUT LOOK AT THE FIGHT MS. EXTREME IS SHOWING RIGHT NOW!
Flannery McCoy: CAMILLE IS GETTING BACK TO HER FEET WITH SIENNA JADE ON HER BACK! CAMILLE IS BACK UP AND SHE BACKS UP AT FULL SPEED AND CRASHES SIENNA JADE IN THE TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: Camille backs up for a second AND RUNS FULL SPEED TO THE CORNER, BUT SHE IS MET WITH AN ELBOW RIGHT TO THE FACE FROM SIENNA JADE!
Flannery McCoy: Camille is staggered and stopped in her tracks as Sienna starts climbing up to the top rope, BUT HERE COMES MS. EXTREME WITH THE HANDSTAND INTO THE HEADSCISSOR POSITION!
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA JADE IS BLOCKING IT! SIENNA JADE GETS FREE OF THE HEADSCISSORS AND HAS CAMILLE IN A BOSTON CRAB-STYLE POSITION!
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME LIFTS HERSELF UP TO SIT IN SIENNA’S LAP BEFORE THROWING A RIGHT HAND!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA JADE COMES BACK AND FIRES OFF A RIGHT HAND OF HER OWN AND THESE TWO ARE JUST SLUGGING IT OUT ON THE TOP ROPE! BOTH WOMEN ARE THROWING FISTS–
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA LOOKS TO GET THE ADVANTAGE AS BOTH WOMEN START TO COME OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BOTH WOMEN ARE GONNA CRASH AND BURN–
Jake Mercer: CAMILLE ENDS UP GUT FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE AS SIENNA LANDS ON THE APRON! Sienna took some damage as she gets back to her feet as Camille is in big trouble dangling on the apron–
Stew-O: SIENNA JADE WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT THAT CATCHES EXTREME RIGHT IN THE FACE AND SENDS HER FLYING BACK INTO THE RING! WHAT AN IMPACT!
Flannery McCoy: It also gives Sienna a chance to climb back onto the top turnbuckle. Sienna gets in position on the turnbuckle as Camille has not moved AND SIENNA JUMPS OFF THE TURNBUCKLE–
Stew-O: “STARSTRUCK”! TOP ROPE MOONSAULT BY SIENNA JADE RIGHT ON THE MONEY! SIENNA GOT ALL OF THE MOONSAULT AS SHE QUICKLY SCRAMBLES UP AND INTO THE COVER! LEG IS HOOKED!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: MS. EXTREME GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! THAT WAS THE VERY FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH AND SIENNA THOUGHT SHE HAD IT!
Jake Mercer: King Kass thought she had it too, but both the Jaded Hearts are battle-tested veterans of this sport and know to keep their cool until the job is done.
Stew-O: But Sienna is still in control of the match as he brings Camille back to her feet and TRIES TO LIFT HER UP FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX–
Jake Mercer: BUT CAMILLE SOMEHOW IS BLOCKING IT! Sienna tries once more, BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO REVERSE THE MOVE AND COUNTER IT INTO A VERTICAL SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna is trying to get back to her feet, BUT CAMILLE GRABS HOLD OF SIENNA’S HEAD AND RUNS TO THE ROPES BEFORE REBOUNDING AND PLANTING SIENNA FACE FIRST WITH THE SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG!
Jake Mercer: Ms. Extreme is building up momentum once again and I don’t like it. Sienna needs to think of something to try and get back into this match and I can’t think of the possibility of her losing this match.
Stew-O: It is a good possibility that could happen as Camille gets on the second rope as Sienna Jade is getting back to her feet. Sienna turns around AND IS MET WITH A FLYING SPINNING HEEL KICK!
Flannery McCoy: THAT KICK CAUGHT SIENNA RIGHT IN THE FACE AND SENDS HER FLYING BACK TO THE MAT BUT SHE MANAGES TO KEEP HER BALANCE AND STAY ON HER FEET!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme once again grabs hold of Sienna and HOISTS HER UP IN THE AIR AND PLANTS HER WITH THE SAITO SUPLEX! SIENNA WAS ALMOST DROPPED RIGHT ON HER HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna is down and Ms. Extreme is now climbing up to the top turnbuckle this time around. High rent district for Ms. Extreme as she waits for Sienna to get back to her feet.
Jake Mercer: Kassidy is still at ringside telling Sienna, who is getting back to her feet. Kassidy is trying to tell Sienna that Ms. Extreme is waiting for her. WATCH OUT SIENNA!!
Stew-O: Sienna is back to her feet and she turns around TO A WAITING MS. EXTREME WHO COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CATCHES SIENNA WITH THE “GLASS CEILING”! TOP ROPE STUNNER KNOCKS SIENNA FOR A LOOP AS CAMILLE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: WOOO! SIENNA JADE KICKS OUT, BUT THAT WAS VERY CLOSE! I think a few people let out a breath after that one. What a close match this has been, but I still have faith in half of the Jaded Hearts to pull off the victory in this match.
Flannery McCoy: It very well could happen, but right now it’s Ms. Extreme in control. Camille has hold of Sienna and tries to bring her back to her feet–
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA COUNTERS WITH A JAWBREAKER TO GET FREE BEFORE LOCKING UP CAMILLE WITH A FACELOCK! SIENNA GRABS CAMILLE’S LEG FOR A FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX–
Stew-O: MS. EXTREME WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND TO THE RIB TO GET HER LEG FREE OF THE FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: CAMILLE WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND NOW SHE HAS HOLD OF SIENNA JADE! CAMILLE YELLS OUT AND IS LOOKING FOR THE TWIST OF FATE NECKBREAKER–
Jake Mercer: SIENNA MANAGES TO GET FREE FROM THE TWIST OF FATE! Sienna grabs Camille’s arm and looks to whip her to the ropes, BUT SIENNA PULLS HER BACK TO HER–
Stew-O: “THE WITCHES HAMMER” BY SIENNA JADE AND MS. EXTREME WAS CLOBBERED RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THAT RIPCORD ROLLING ELBOW! LOOK AT KASSIDY HEART CHEERING FROM RINGSIDE! SHE BELIEVES THAT THE MATCH IS CLOSE TO BEING OVER—
Flannery McCoy: WAIT A SECOND! SOMEONE JUST HOPPED THE BARRICADE! HOLY CRAP! IT’S THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! POTARA IS HERE! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY DOING HERE NOW? THEY WERE CALLED OUT EARLIER BY THE JADED HEARTS–
Stew-O: POTARA HAVE JUST HOPPED THE BARRICADE! THEY HAVE JUST ATTACKED KASSIDY HEART! KASSIDY IS DOWN TO A KNEE AND POTARA ARE JUST POUNDING ON KASSIDY WITH CLOSED FISTS!
Flannery McCoy: THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE DOUBLE TEAMING KASSIDY HEART AND JUST BEATING THE HOLY SHIT OUT OF HER! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH NO LESS!
Jake Mercer: Sienna Jade just noticed that Kassidy Heart is getting double teamed by POTATO and she is PISSED! She gives Camille a Snap DDT for good measure before heading over to POTATO!
Stew-O: It’s POTARA and Sienna leaves the ring and she has fire in her eyes. Sienna goes over to the brawl AND SHE JUST SLUGS HARPER LEE RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: There we go, Sienna! Show POTATO why exactly the Jaded Hearts are the threat that they are. Sienna Jade is helping even up the odds against POTATO! It’s not 2 on 1 anymore as we have a brawl.
Flannery McCoy: Sienna is just slugging Harper Lee in the face as Kassidy is fighting off Holly Arrow now before KASSIDY SPEARS HOLLY TO THE GROUND AND HARPER LEE IS THROWN INTO THE BARRICADE BY SIENNA JADE! WHAT A FIGHT!
Jake Mercer: POTARA ARE DOWN AS WELL AS OUR KING KASS, BUT THE REFEREE IS UP TO EIGHT AS SIENNA SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING TO AVOID BEING COUNTED OUT! THERE YOU GO!
Stew-O: BUT THE INTERFERENCE BY POTARA MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT ANYWAY AS MS. EXTREME IS RIGHT THERE WITH A BOOT TO THE GUT AND A TWIST OF FATE ON SIENNA JADE!
Flannery McCoy: Spinning neckbreaker by Ms. Extreme and now she drags Sienna to the corner AND NOW SHE CLIMBS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP ROPE! THIS COULD END THE MATCH RIGHT HERE! CAMILLE FINDS HER BALANCE–
Stew-O: AND CAMILLE COMES OFF THE “HOLY GROUND”! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BY MS. EXTREME! HER BOOTS DRIVEN RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF SIENNA JADE AND SIENNA MIGHT BE OUT AS CAMILLE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts playing as Ms. Extreme slowly rolls off of Sienna. Camille sits on the mat for a moment to catch her breath before trying to get to her feet as Stephie Love starts to announce the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… MS. EXTREME!
Jake Mercer: WHAT WAS THAT? I do not approve of this! Why isn’t this a disqualification? SIENNA WAS ROBBED!
Stew-O: Call it whatever you want, but regardless of what you think, Ms. Extreme has won this match and you possibly could give some thanks to POTARA. Could Camille be starting to try to get into the head of Kassidy Heart with the win over her Jaded Hearts companion?
(Ms. Extreme is back to her feet as the referee raises her arm in victory and leaves the ring as soon as Kassidy slides in to check on Sienna Jade. Kassidy is holding the back of her neck as Camille heads up the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: Before this match, Jaded Hearts called out POTARA and wanted a match at Wicked Games and even though POTARA didn’t come out, we should have had a feeling that they would have been within listening distance of a challenge.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, and that led to them sticking their nose in Dynasty business during a great match. POTATO hopped the barricade and then assaulted Kassidy Heart which led to Sienna being a good tag team partner and helping Kass out. Then Ms. Extreme used the chaos to take advantage of the situation to win the match. I don’t like it.
Stew-O: But I do agree with the fact that this was a great match. Even though Sienna Jade didn’t win, she had an amazing showing. But at the end of the day, it was Ms. Extreme who walks out victorious and we offer our congratulations to her.
Jake Mercer: I hope POTATO are proud of themselves for what they caused.
Flannery McCoy: Congratulations indeed, but now this situation is just beginning. Not only between the Universal Women’s Champion and her challenger at House of Glass, but also between Jaded Hearts and POTARA!
Stew-O: Most definitely! This will not be the last time we see these competitors interact in some capacity and there’s no doubt that they are going to beat the hell out of each other. Things are just starting to heat up right now.
(The final shot shows Ms. Extreme celebrating her victory at the top of the entrance before cutting to POTARA recovering and laughing at the Jaded Hearts in the ring before cutting to Kassidy helping Sienna sit up in the ring. The Jaded Hearts are both pissed off and glaring up at Camille on the ramp and POTARA at ringside before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for this week’s Sunday Night Voltage.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns from a brief intermission to a panaround shot of Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, as ‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill is heard blasting through the PA system. The Delhi crowd absolutely erupts as the camera goes over to show Cy Henderson as he makes his way out to the stage. He hypes up the crowd as he makes his entrance with a smile on his face, embracing the love that he is getting tonight as he makes yet another appearance here on Dynasty. Hands on his hips, he scans around at the energetic crowd once again, before he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!!!!!!!!! CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well I’m sure nobody expected Cy Henderson to have returned to the Dynasty brand last week as the help that Jake Smith needed to defend against the combined forces of Andre Walker and Ronan Malosi. Jake said he put in a call, and Cy answered, and what a statement that he made, nearly laying out Ronan last week.
Jake Mercer: Smh, where’s the shame.
Flannery McCoy: There’s no shame in that at all, Jake. Jake knew that his attention was on Andre and Andre only, and he wanted to make sure that there were no outside interferences that would be able to stop him from that. Cy was necessary and by the looks of things he is more than happy to help. The EAW Hall of Famer and former World Champion has what it takes, and whatever challenge, big or small, he has shown that he is perfectly capable of handling. But the one challenge that seems to be next on his list is Ronan, and I’m not sure he’s going to be taking kindly to the fact that there’s a plan for him and his Kaiser’s downfall in the works.
Jake Mercer: Exactly! They’re doing tricks on it by praying for my Kaiser’s downfall! This is absolutely disgusting!
Stew-O & Flannery McCoy: :francis:
(Cy stands at the bottom of the ramp, taking a moment before sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring. He heads over and grabs a microphone from the ringside area while ‘Tupac Back’ begins to come to a close. He makes his way toward the center of the ring, taking a moment to compose his thoughts, before he then begins to speak from there.)
Cy Henderson: A lot of people have asked why I’m back here on Friday Night Dynasty…
(Cy nods his head while he says that, the crowd murmuring as they await what he has to say. The last time he was on the brand was the previous Season when he served as the Special Guest Referee for the match against the Visual Prophet and Scott Diamond. Since then he has been on Showdown and Voltage, finally circling back to where it all began when he first returned those couple months back.)
Cy Henderson: Out of everyone that it could have been, how is it possible that it was Cy Henderson that answered Jake Smith’s call for help against Andre Walker and Ronan Malosi? Well, I think it’s pretty simple. I’ve had my eye on what goes on here in Elite Answers Wrestling, I’d like to think I know my way around the place despite being gone for so long. I saw the havoc that Andre Walker has caused since the Season began, everything that he has done, all leading to obtaining the almighty Gawd Contract after beating Chris Elite. Jake Smith was a casualty of that, and I understand that as soon as he came back, Andre was going to be first on his list. Ultimately, he was going to need some help, and that’s why he reached out to me, and that wasn’t a very hard decision to make either. After what happened at Territorial Invasion when I lost my match for the EAW World Championship against Drake King, which was an unfortunate ending but that is neither here nor there, I didn’t have much on the itinerary. So… I figured, why not take the opportunity to put someone like Ronan Malosi in his place.
Cy Henderson: Yes, I’m even familiar with Ronan and the antics that have occurred involving him. I know the… troubles… that he has gone through and I see that his sole purpose has been aimlessly dickriding and willingly volunteering himself to be used by Andre. It’s hard for someone like him to be his own person, so I understand riding the coattails of someone with a higher ceiling because you’re unable to reach that platform yourself seems reasonable, but that’s not the way to go about it. You’re a chess piece, and you’re only making things hard on yourself by getting into fights that you’re not prepared for, fighting battles that “your Kaiser” should be fighting, but he left you to do all the dirty work. So if there is anybody that can slap some sense into Ronan, I’m pretty sure it’s me.
(The crowd cheers loudly for this as Cy looks around, a smile on his face. It’s clear that while Jake has his hands full with Andre, Cy is going to make sure that his “right hand man’ of sorts is occupied, and he seems very confident that he’s able to do that.)
Cy Henderson: So-
(Before he can continue though, ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky begins to play through the speakers. The crowd immediately erupts into boos as Cy turns toward the stage to see Ronan Malosi make his way out. He has a serious expression on his face, still mentally recovering from the attack by Cy last week. He has a microphone in hand as he begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring, not interacting with the fans whatsoever like he usually would.)
Jake Mercer: Oh yeah! It’s about to go down! The Right Hand Man is here and he does not look happy at all! Cy is going to pay now!
Stew-O: Well I think Ronan is more focused on the embarrassment that was caused by Cy last week, and looks to get him back as he makes his way to the ring. It’ll certainly be interesting to hear what he has to say though.
Ronan Malosi: Cut the music! Cut the music!
(Ronan jumps up onto the apron and enters into the ring, immediately getting into the face of Cy as ‘Mo Money’ begins to come to a close. Cy does not look intimidated at all by all of this as Ronan begins to speak toward him.)
Ronan Malosi: I don’t know who you think you are, but if you think that you can just get into the Kaiser’s-
Cy Henderson: It’s always what the Kaiser does right? You can never speak for yourself? I don’t want to hear about Andre Walker, Ronan, that’s not what I’m here for. I want to hear from your mouth why this is a problem for YOU.
(Ronan has a frustrated look on his face.)
Ronan Malosi: It doesn’t matter if it’s The Kaiser’s business or if it’s my business, Cy, what matters is the fact that you’re getting in the way. Whether you like it or not, Jake Smith is my problem too. I agree with everyone else on the fact that he was better off gone, and last week was my way of handling the situation and getting rid of him before he does something he regrets. But unfortunately… It just so happened that you got in the way. Now, after he beat me in the main event last week, his actions go unchecked, so do you see why I just so happened to be frustrated right now? YOU ruined EVERYTHING!
Cy Henderson: I ruined everything? Well if I remember correctly, even if I did have some words to say to you earlier in the show, I wasn’t there at all when you faced Jake. Maybe if you could actually beat him we’d be having a different conversation right now.
Ronan Malosi: Oh no, you must have me mistaken, you see, I CAN beat Jake Smith. I know I can, because not only is he worse than Andre Walker, he’s worse than me, and he doesn’t deserve a spot on the roster. You’re asking me the reason I lost and my answer doesn’t change. Your attack on me earlier in the night left me in a state where I was unfit to compete. The medical team gave me a choice to decide whether or not I wanted to drop out of the match, but I knew that if I did, they would look at me as a coward for something that was beyond my control.
(Cy rolled his eyes, he knew this was all one big excuse and regardless, they looked at him as a coward anyway.)
Ronan Malosi: So against their wishes, I went out there and I competed in the name of ‘The Kaiser’ Andre Walker, because what would he think of me if I decided to back out of a match against Jake Smith of all people? Even in my weakened state, I was a hair away from defeating him, but unfortunately, the injuries that YOU gave me ultimately got the better of me, and I ended up losing off of a fluke victory. Is that enough of an explanation?
(Cy sighs, he chuckles to himself as Ronan raises an eyebrow in confusion.)
Cy Henderson: You really do perplex me, Ronan, you’re an interesting case. You remind me of Drake King, he’ll do anything to try and justify his actions no matter how wrong they are.
Ronan Malosi: Don’t compare me to that loser.
Cy Henderson: But the reality of it is, there’s always going to be that moment where someone brings you back down to earth. While I wasn’t the person to do that for Drake, at some point he’s going to lose the EAW World Championship, and at some point he’s going to realize just how wrong he’s been this entire time. The same can be said for you Ronan, and I’m bargaining on the person that does that for you being me.
Ronan Malosi: You can try and push your agenda onto me, Cy, but just know that you’re not the first person-
Cy Henderson: And I won’t be the last, that’s what Drake said too.
Ronan Malosi: Didn’t I say not to compare me to that JOBBER? In case you didn’t realize, I am miles better than Drake King ever was, even if he does have a title around his waist. So if you couldn’t beat him at his best, even at my worst, this isn’t a competition for me. So how about you do yourself a favor, and get yourself out of this ring, before you start a problem that you can’t handle, and I’m going to have to take care of business.
Cy Henderson: You really think so-
(SLAP!)
(Ronan, who has seemingly heard enough of Cy’s comments, decides to slap him right in the face! Cy, who is taken aback by this, grabs his cheek and looks over at Ronan who lowers his microphone and continues to berate him. After some time…)
Stew-O: AND THIS HAS DOVE INTO A BRAWL ONCE AGAIN! CY LAUNCHES PUNCHES TOWARD HIS FACE AND WHILE RONAN TRIES TO FIGHT BACK, RIGHT NOW HE CAN’T DO ANY OF THAT! RONAN IS PRESSED AGAINST THE ROPES, AND CY IS JUST LAYING INTO HIM RIGHT NOW, THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RONAN SLIDES OUT OF THE RING JUST IN TIME AND MAKES HIS GRAND ESCAPE!
Jake Mercer: YES! SMART RONAN! GET YOURSELF OUT OF THERE, HE’S NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AT ALL-
Stew-O: BUT CY ROLLS OUT OF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, BREAKING INTO A FULL SPRINT BEFORE WINDING RONAN UP FOR A MASSIVE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ WHICH TAKES HIM OUT! THE DISCUS LARIAT CONNECTS AS CY ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING…
Flannery McCoy: ‘RISING TIDE’! BURNING HAMMER TO RONAN SPIKES HIS HEAD AGAINST THE MAT AND COMPLETELY TAKES HIM OUT! RONAN MAY HAVE ESCAPED LAST TIME, BUT CY MANAGES TO CATCH HIM THIS TIME AND STAND TALL!
Jake Mercer: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Tupac Back’ begins to play up again, and Cy Henderson dusts himself off, looking down and admiring his work as an unconscious Ronan Malosi squirms on the mat in pain. Cy shakes his head in disappointment, turning around and making his way out of the ring before then heading up the ramp. He high fives some of the crowd members in the first row while taking his leave, and it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(Dynasty fades away from the ring and backstage to where Myles is seen with Michael Belfort. He rolls his wrists, getting his mind right for his upcoming title match.)
Michael Belfort: EAW Universe, it has been an incredible night of action. However, one match is left, and that is the main event of the evening! We have another blockbuster title match as Bronson Daniels will be defending the EAW World Heavyweight Championship in just a few moments against his challenger, who is right here with me: Myles. I see you are absolutely focused for this bout, especially with your pursuit to capture the championship since you faced off against the previous title holder, Limmy Monaghan. With you helping Dynasty win War Games at Territorial Invasion, this opportunity was given to you. How are you feeling right now with the chance to potentially become a three-time world champion, all within the span of a year?
Myles: I’m ready. It’s as simple as that. I have been seeking this kind of match ever since I had the EAW World Championship forcefully stripped from my hands. After everything I had to go through, witnessing that bastard Drake have it served to him on a silver platter… it made me sick. It sent me on a warpath to reclaim what was once lost. I never got to end my second reign on a satisfactory note. At Pain for Pride, I fell short. However, with this championship in my line of sight, I won’t lose it. I will not settle for anything less than a victory over Bronson tonight.
(Myles takes a deep breath.)
Myles: … I went through some of the most agonizing and debilitating months of my career yet. Bronson can pride himself on his story reaching its conclusion, but as far as I’m concerned, he won’t get to carry on without another one starting in his favor. To some, it may be disappointing that his reign will end before it could truly take off, but it makes no difference to me. He’ll be left to feel that bitter sting of disappointment, but if it means I’ll get to be a champion again? Then that’s all that matters. It’s about time I get the spoils from all of the countless wars I’ve been in.
Michael Belfort: Assured as can be. I’m sure the whole world will be watching to see whether you can come out on top against Bronson. However, I also want to ask you about some more… serious matters.
(Myles raises a brow.)
Myles: Such as?
Michael Belfort: KAI-ZEN’s attacks. Lately, they have been on a tear, putting many Elitists on notice. Last week, they took out Limmy who you seemed to be concerned about, and just tonight, we’ve seen them gone after the likes of Chris Elite and Joso. They claim that they’re coming after everyone, and more specifically, some of the more decorated Elitists here on Dynasty to make a statement against the rest of the competition here. Do their recent actions concern you at all.
(Myles looks over at Michael, silent for a bit. After gathering his thoughts, he speaks.)
Myles: Yes, I’m aware. Seems like they’re having fun acting as if they’re on top of the world. However, they’re nothing more than a team who is prematurely shouting from their pretend heaven and think they’re on the cusp of greatness. I’m sure that sooner or later, those like Limmy, Chris and Joso will burst their little bubble and kill their little delusions of grandeur. They’ll realize how ridiculous they look. As soon as they do, they’ll fall into the abyss of despair, knowing that there is no way they are going to beat anyone worth a damn. They have the world’s attention for now, but that will slip through their–
Michael Belfort: WAIT, LOOK OUT!
(Suddenly, Myles goes down, holding onto his head after getting sent down with a kick! The fans boo as Prince TOHRU, MITSU, Mig and Shinzo Sasaki swarm Myles, just like they did earlier in the night!)
Stew-O: OH, NO, NO, NO! NOT AGAIN! THEY’RE ATTACKING MYLES, NOW!!
Jake Mercer: THEY’RE NOT SHOWING ANY MERCY EITHER! GUESS THEY DIDN’T TAKE HIS WORDS TOO KINDLY! AT LEAST MICHAEL IS ABLE TO HIGHTAIL IT OUTTA THERE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES ISN’T AS FORTUNATE! THEY ALL GRAB HIM AND SLAM HIS HEAD INTO THE TELEVISION! OH MY GOD!! NOW THEY HAVE HIM UP AND TOSSES HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL! JUST LIKE HOW THEY DID TO CHRIS ELITE! MYLES IS IN PAIN!
Stew-O: THEY’RE BRUTALIZING HIM RIGHT BEFORE HIS TITLE MATCH! MYLES TRIES TO GET UP TO HIS HANDS AND KNEES, BUT A SHARP KICK TO THE RIBS FROM MITSU SENDS HIM BACK DOWN! HE’S DESPERATELY CLUTCHING HIS MIDSECTION! HE TRIES TO GET UP…
Jake Mercer: BUT ALL FOUR OF THEM GRAB HIM! HE’S UP IN THE AIR IN A POWERBOMB-LIKE POSITION! THEY TURN AND… OH NO….!!!
Flannery McCoy: THEY’RE RUNNING FORWARD!! THEY LAUNCH MYLES, AND HE GOES CRASHING STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO THE TABLE!! MYLES IS ON THE GROUND!!
(Myles cries out. KAI-ZEN look down at him with sinister grins on their faces. Medicial staff come running in, all while security try to get the dastardly group away from him.)
Security guard: Alright, back up! Get out of here now!
(KAI-ZEN raise their hands, sarcastically complying with the guard’s demands. They had off, all while Myles is being tended to urgently.)
Stew-O: YET AGAIN, KAI-ZEN STRIKES! IT’S BEEN RUTHLESS ATTACK AFTER RUTHLESS ATTACK, BUT THIS ONE MAY BE THE WORST ONE YET! MYLES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE HERE TONIGHT!!
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Oh no…
(Shots of the fans in the arena are shown, displaying the worry and shock on their faces. It then goes back to where Myles is lying. He tries to get back up, but nearly falls over. Dynasty cuts to an impromptu commercial as Myles is being checked out.)
(An advertisement plays for House of Glass.)
(Dynasty is back. Myles has been transferred to the trainer’s room, clutching his midsection. He takes heavy, frantic breaths, likely from the pain that he is in. A few doctors surround him, checking him out.)
Doctor #1: Yeah… you’re in bad shape here, Myles. I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can wrestle tonight.
(The collective disappointment of the fans can be heard. Myles looks at the doctor in disbelief.)
Doctor #2: I agree. We need to do MRIs and all sorts of tests to determine the exact severity of your injuries. Ribs and back are more than likely affected. If I had to guess too, you may have a concussion as well, or some sort of trauma to the head. Either way, we need to determine the exact diagnosis–
Myles: No.
(The doctors look confused.)
Doctor #1: ‘No’? With all due respect, this is not up for debate. You’re hurt. Badly. Competing in this state is not realistic whatsoever. I understand that the main event was a huge match for you, but you need to put your health first–
Myles: I’m not repeating myself. I said no. You will not stop me.
Doctor #2: Myles, please, be rational about this. Your well-being should not be jepordized for any championship here. You need thorough medical attention ASAP.
Myles: And you all need to leave me the fuck alone.
(The doctors look on in shock. Myles gets up from the bed. He winces, one of his knees buckling, but… he stands. Through fury and spite, he’s able to stand.)
Myles: … I will not be denied this opportunity. Besides, I’ve dealt with worse.
Doctor #1: Myles–
Myles: Get out of my way. Now.
(Myles pushes through the both of them, walking as fast as he can to the ring. It’s a pain-filled endeavor, but he marches on. The doctors yell out for him, but he doesn’t listen.)
Stew-O: Myles… he, he’s insistent on wrestling tonight! I think the match is still on!
Jake Mercer: Oh, my! This is insane! However, how is he going to win, and more importantly, how is he going to own that fraud Bronson in that sort of condition?!!
Flannery McCoy: Myles is right when he said he’s been through a lot, but this is something entirely different. Whether he wants to acknowledge it or not, his chances of becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion are in trouble! This is madness!
(However, the fans don’t see it that way. They cheer Myles, rallying behind a man hell-bent on persevering regardless of his circumstances. His face cannot mask the pain, but he’s determined all the same. The cameras capture him walking through gorilla and hitting the stage as ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits.)
Jake Mercer: I guess it’s really happening! The Warlord is here, hurt but ready for war if it means he gets the gold in the end! :wow: Gawd, I can only pray he beats Bronson…
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: JQNWKRBG8DBWLENQOQHDUR
(As ‘Enemy Strike’ plays, Myles is shown as he makes his way out to the stage. The challenger is not at all in the best of shape. He’s hurt and wounded and it shows on his face. He makes his way out though, trying to conceal that weakness the best that he can, as he scrunches his face before making a beeline down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… from Melbourne, Australia… weighing in at 225 pounds… ‘THE WARLORD’… MYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: We saw what happened to Myles earlier, as just like his friend Limmy, he was a victim of an attack by KAI-ZEN, who left their mark on him and had him walking into this match injured. As you saw the medical officials suggested that the match be called off so they could tend to him, but Myles had no interest in that, and here he is tonight.
Flannery McCoy: It’s quite jarring to think that Myles was the one fighting the injured Champion at Pain For Pride when he last fought for the World Heavyweight Championship, and now he walks into the next in the role of the injured instead. We saw what happened. Limmy Monaghan, despite all the pain and the suffering that he had gone through, managed to come out on top. Could we see Myles fulfill the same role and crown himself as the new World Heavyweight Champion once and for all?
Jake Mercer: I don’t know, I just feel like Myles is my choice to win this match, even though he’s hurt… He’s got this.
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
(‘Clash of Gods’ by Norihito Sumitomo is heard playing through the speakers as the crowd roars for the World Heavyweight Champion Bronson Daniels as he heads out. He has a smile on his face as he raises his title high into the air. A slight look of concern is seen as he looks inside the ring, observing the state of his challenger right now, but regardless he knows that he has to stay focused as he makes his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… residing in Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 190 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE EMPEROR’… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for Bronson he has a target on his back. While there was a passing comment by Albert Hitchman last week that Andre Walker had the fullest intentions of coming back and gunning for his title, obviously his interests have been diverted elsewhere. Albert though didn’t see himself out of the World Title picture, as we saw him have a conversation with SOSA Henderson earlier in the night, with SOSA stating his intentions of going after the title.
Flannery McCoy: The former World Champion is a challenge that Bronson is going to have to face head on, but that’s to say he makes it out of tonight as Champion against Myles. But of course, especially with the circumstances, this match is unpredictable, so right now we’re just going to have to wait and see.
Jake Mercer: BOOOOOO!!!!!! YOU SUCK BRONSON! YOU MIGHT HAVE GOT LUCKY AGAINST XANDER! BUT IT’S OVER FOR YOU NOW! IT’S WRAPS!
()
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go, our big time main event is underway! Two weeks after having his first title defense, World Heavyweight Champion Bronson Daniels has yet another one against a Hall of Fame caliber talent in the form of Myles! The challenge was put out last week for a match and Myles, who is looking to become a three-time World Champion and add to his already immense list of accolades… is not in the best of shape.
Flannery McCoy: It’s hard to ignore the KAI-ZEN attack that happened earlier in the night, but despite that, Myles is still a fighter as against what was in his best interest he is still fighting for an opportunity that he feels he deserves.
Jake Mercer: Injured or not, Myles got IT! He’s going to be the one that ends this reign of terror from Bronson Daniels once and for all!
Stew-O: That remains to be seen, right now Bronson and Myles are surveying the field, making their way toward one another and engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie up! Both of them go back and forth, but even with the disadvantage, Myles manages to push Bronson against the ropes in a test of strength. Both competitors immediately jockey for position and the referee is forced to step in and break it up, with Myles holding his hands up as he releases the hold. The two of them reset, making their way back toward the center of the ring, before they once again lock up.
Flannery McCoy: Myles immediately pulls him into a side headlock, seizing him around the neck and dropping his weight, but Bronson looks to shift the momentum in his favor early on as he pushes him toward the ropes before sending him to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… Bronson with a drop down… followed by a leapfrog… BEFORE FINISHING THAT OFF AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE MYLES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Bronson takes Myles down with a subpar move, and Myles is right back up to his feet. Bronson doesn’t look to keep his foot off the gas though, grabbing him by the wrist and sending him to the ropes for yet another Irish whip- But that doesn’t happen, with Myles thankfully reversing that into an Irish whip of his own… STEPPING UP- But stops himself as he sees Bronson grab a hold of the ropes and stop himself just in time! Myles rushes toward him, but before he can respond Bronson manages to move out of the way before sending him through the middle rope!
Stew-O: Bronson averts the attack but who knows how long that’s going to be for, as Myles lands on the apron and gets himself back up, Bronson turning around and being met with a hard forearm shot to the face! The World Heavyweight Champion stumbles backward toward the center of the ring, and the challenger runs the apron and makes his way up to the top turnbuckle. Myles positions himself… BUT BEFORE HE CAN IT’S BRONSON THAT LUNGES FORWARD AND SEIZES HIM BY THE ANKLE BEFORE PULLING HIM OFF THE TOP! Myles barely manages to land, AS BRONSON LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! Myles falls backward into the corner… BUT BOUNCES OFF AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD WHICH TAKES BRONSON OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson grabs his head in pain as he immediately backtracks and grabs a hold of the bottom turnbuckle. He slowly begins to pull himself back up, meanwhile Myles is trying to focus on this match, but the effects of tonight are beginning to kick in, and that’s not something you want this early into it. Bronson leans against the corner, and Myles begins to send repeated strikes toward his face to wear him down! That Clothesline left Bronson absolutely rocked, and while he’s trying his best to fight back, right now that is to no avail.
Jake Mercer: After the set of punches are done Myles steps back, allowing Bronson to pull himself out of the corner and use the ropes to get himself away. But Myles already has him by the arm as he sends him toward the opposite side of the ring… AS HE REBOUNDS AND MYLES GOES UNDER BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR A HUGE BACK BODY DROP! The impact takes Bronson down and you can see the stress that put on Myles as he doubles over, taking a moment, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A HARD KICK TO HIS SPINE WHICH TAKES BRONSON COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Bronson is in pain on the mat right now, and the same can be said for Myles right now. Remember, it was the suggestion that the match should be called off, the extent of his injuries are unknown right now, but you can see the effect that it’s having on this match and the effect that it will have as this match goes on. Myles makes his way over and grabs Bronson before bringing him back up to his feet, looking to slow down the pace even more as he gets back into this match, pulling him in and lifting him off the ground, TRYING FOR A SUPLEX- But Bronson manages to slip out behind him before that happens, he grabs him around the waist, LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT MYLES WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE TO COUNTER! This forces Bronson to release the hold that he has on him, as he quickly makes his way over, BUT MYLES GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO THE AIR WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: NO! BRONSON FLIPS OVER MYLES AND ROLLS HIM UP INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: YES! MYLES MANAGES TO KICK OUT! He manages to get out just in time before Bronson can unfortunately get a win, and both of them are scrambling back up to their feet!
Stew-O: AS BRONSON SIZES HIM UP BEFORE GOING FOR ‘CHROME HEARTS’ TO THE FACE OF MYLES!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT JUST IN TIME! He runs the ropes and back while Bronson quickly recovers, AS MYLES GOES FOR A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE- BUT BRONSON AVOIDS THAT! Both of them turn around, AS BRONSON SPINS AND CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN! This hurts Myles a lot more than usual as he doubles over…
Jake Mercer: AS THIS GIVES HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH A SECOND ATTEMPT AT ‘CHROME HEARTS’! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TAKES MYLES DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND BRONSON WASTES NO TIME HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRE-
Stew-O: NO! MYLES KICKS OUT! Bronson drags himself away, more pleased at the fact that there is an opportunity. Meanwhile Myles has to be kicking himself for letting his pain get the better of him. He slowly rises back up to his feet, but by the time he does that, Bronson is already up. He grabs a hold of Myles and drags him back up, before beginning to send punches to his face to continue to wear him down! You have to wonder what is going through Bronson’s mind as this match goes on, it doesn’t feel right to go through with this match.
Flannery McCoy: But this is what Myles wanted, if this was against what he wanted, we wouldn’t be having this match right now. Myles is grabbing his head in pain, instead of allowing himself to be beaten more by Bronson, slowly beginning to roll himself toward the edge of the ring, looking to create some distance between the two of them. Myles pulls himself toward the bottom rope and drops down to the ringside area, helping himself back up to his feet while Bronson takes the time while he can to recover back up to his feet. Bronson then runs to the ropes and back, while Myles turns around and looks back to inside the ring… AS BRONSON LAUNCHES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TAKE HIM OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Jake Mercer: Myles isn’t taken out, the impact instead sending him backward as Bronson drives him spine first into the barricade! The Champion then quickly slides back into the ring, running the ropes once again while Myles struggles to recover… CONNECTING WITH YET ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE WHICH SENDS MYLES BACKWARD INTO THE BARRICADE! And it seems like we get the gist of what Bronson has in mind here, quickly sliding himself back into the ring… AS HE GOES FOR A THIRD SUICIDE DIVE TO FINISH IT OFF!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE HE GRABS A HOLD OF BRONSON AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! Bronson crumbles down to the ground, writhing in pain as Myles stumbles back and falls back against the barricade. That took a lot out of him and Bronson managed to get a lot of offense in. Myles pushes himself away and makes his way over to Bronson, grabbing him and rolling him back into the ring before he climbs up onto the apron and takes a moment to catch his breath once again. He then makes his way up to the top rope for the second time in this match, as Bronson turns around… AND MYLES LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND TRIES TO CONNECT WITH A DIVING METEORA TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! He manages to avoid it as Myles crashes down to the ground but recovers quickly as he staggers back up, BEFORE BRONSON RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES UNDER FOR A LOW DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP TO TAKE HIM DOWN- BUT MYLES MANAGES TO JUMP OVER BRONSON! Bronson slides down to the ground but gets up to a kneeling position, JUST FOR MYLES TO CONNECT FLUSH WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE WHICH DROPS MYLES DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
(Myles falls backward against the corner due to the sheer impact of the move, and turns around and awaits Bronson as he struggles to get up. The Champion is hurt and the challenger looks to take advantage of that while the opportunity is in front of him.)
Jake Mercer: YES! LET’S GO! MYLES FOLLOWS THAT UP AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! ‘DRACO METEOR’ CONNECTS AND MYLES SLUMPS DOWN OVER THE BODY OF BRONSON AND HOOKS THE LEG! PIN ATTEMPT! COULD WE BE SEEING A NEW CHAMPION BEING CROWNED TONIGHT ON DYNASTY?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEE-
Jake Mercer: NO!
Stew-O: BRONSON KICKS OUT! Bronson kicks out of it and the look on Myles’ face tells all! He wants to end this match as quickly as he can, and Bronson is not making it very easy for him to do that. Myles is hurting himself right now and while he has done what he could right now to wear the Champion down, he’s worn out himself. If he gives Bronson any sort of chance to breathe in this, that gives him an opportunity that Myles does not want. Myles grabs a hold of Bronson and brings him back up to his feet, grabbing a hold of him by the head, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM FACE FIRST AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Bronson bounces out of the corner before Myles props him up, THEN BEGINNING TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE ABDOMEN!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is hurt right now and trying to fight from beneath, but Myles already has him in his grasp as he grabs him by the wrist and sets him up… SENDING HIM TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AS BRONSON SLAMS FULL FORCE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND IS LEFT CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Bronson collides and stumbles out of the corner, WHILE MYLES RUNS OVER AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HIM COLLIDING BACK WITH THE TURNBUCKLES! Bronson slouches down to a seated position in the corner as Myles has his eye on the prize, FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE WHICH COMPLETELY TAKES OUT BRONSON!
(Myles stumbles out of the corner, even though he has been the one firmly in control and delivering the offense, the combined reminder of the attack by KAI-ZEN and the wear and tear in this match so far continues to haunt him. He dips down to a kneeling position, grinding his teeth before getting back up, he knows that he has to stay focused and continue laying the offense on Bronson before he is able to recover.)
Jake Mercer: Bronson manages to get himself back up in the corner, and Myles is refocusing in as he makes his way over to him, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S BRONSON THAT BRINGS HIS LEG UP USING THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Myles stumbles back but still finds himself approaching Bronson, only for him to kick him in the abdomen before looking to set him up… PUSHING OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND SPIKE HIS HEAD DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT!
Stew-O: Myles is taken down to the ground but quickly uses the ropes to get himself back up as he leans against them for support, trying his best to get his footing in this match but right now that’s proving to be something that he’s finding trouble doing. BRONSON RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT NO! Myles manages to go under and send him over the top rope! Bronson manages to land himself on the apron as Myles turns around and swings a punch to his face- BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDER AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN! Myles stumbles back while Bronson then looks to be the one to set him up… AS HE LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson slides down to the ground and gets back up to his feet, Myles managing to get back up himself but still not being in the best of shape, shaking off the cobwebs… AS BRONSON GOES FOR A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE MYLES DOWN- But Myles manages to stop him just in time by taking a step back and grabbing a hold of him by both legs! He sets him up…
Jake Mercer: MYLES IS TRYING TO LOCK IN ‘KRAKEN’S GRASP’! THAT’S HIS INVERTED TEXAS CLOVERLEAF FINISHING MOVE!
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO TURN HIMSELF AROUND AND USE HIS LEG STRENGTH TO PUSH MYLES AWAY! Myles stumbles back and Bronson immediately rolls over and pushes himself back up to his feet, Myles runs forward, but before anything can happen it’s Bronson that moves out of the way and sends him to the ropes… AS BRONSON LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND CONNECTS WITH A HURRICANRANA- NO! MYLES KEEPS HIM UP! HE SPINS HIM AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A POWERBOMB!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON FLIPS OVER AND CONNECTS WITH A SUNSET FLIP BOMB! Myles is spiked down onto the top of his head and taken down as Bronson gets back up, and right now he is looking to close this match off. He steps back, Myles getting up to a kneeling position, and I think we know what just so happens to be next in this situation right here…
Jake Mercer: ‘MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’! SWINGING BACK ELBOW TO THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD TO CLOSE THIS OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! MYLES JUST TURNED AROUND AND SNATCHED HIS FOREARM JUST IN TIME!
Flannery McCoy: BRONSON IS IN SHOCK, BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY TIME TO RESPOND! MYLES GOES UNDER AND TOSSES HIM IN THE AIR BEFORE DRIVING HIS KNEE INTO HIS FACE WITH ‘VICTORIA’! POP-UP KNEE STRIKE COMPLETELY TAKES OUT BRONSON, AND MYLES CRUMBLES DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: NOT YET! BRONSON KICKS OUT! Myles is angry, but he expected this out of Bronson! He expected this out of the World Heavyweight Champion! He wasn’t going to go down that easily!
(Myles gets up to a knee, his breathing heavy as he scrunches his face in pain. There is a lot that he is fighting through right now, and it took him a lot to get in the position that he’s in right now, fingertips away from the World Heavyweight Championship that he failed to capture at the end of Season 16. He gets back up, grabbing a hold of Bronson, time is of the essence right now and he knows he needs to close this off before it’s too late.)
Stew-O: MYLES POPS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND, IT’S TIME! ‘DE FACTO’!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! MYLES JUST LET GO!
(Myles grabs a hold of his abdomen as he staggers down to a kneeling position. He’s gasping for air as he tries to recover, but he’s still severely hurt which has been the focal point of this match since the beginning. The referee quickly makes his way over to check on him, but almost instantly, Myles shoves him away. He never wanted any help, he never wanted any pity or sympathy, he wanted to see this match through regardless of his status. Bronson, who is on his feet, sees that, and it seems like even though it’s innately wrong, he understands his wishes.)
Jake Mercer: BRONSON PULLS HIM IN, HOOKS THE LEGS, AND LIFTS HIM UP… NO!
Stew-O: ‘SAVAGE MODE’! LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER TO MYLES COMPLETELY TAKES HIM OUT! MYLES IS DOWN AND BRONSON CRAWLS OVER TO HIM, HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Clash of Gods’ begins to play through the speakers as Bronson Daniels pulls himself off of the body of Myles. Instead of feeling happy about his victory, he definitely seems displeased about the entire thing. He slowly rises back up to his feet, nursing his wounds as the referee makes his way over and hands him the World Heavyweight Championship. He takes it into his possession and raises it high into the air, the crowd cheering loudly while he does, as he begins to celebrate his victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND STILL!!! EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!! BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Myles was a HAIR away from capturing the World Heavyweight Champion, and he fought a lot harder than most people would in a situation like this. But at the end of the day his injuries forced him to cave in, and Bronson, against his own personal wishes, was forced to finish the job. Myles didn’t want any sort of pity for what happened, no remorse, and Bronson made sure to abide by his request.
Jake Mercer: FUCK!
Stew-O: One thing for certain is the fact that Myles has his next target on lock, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s KAI-ZEN. But Bronson once again racks up another defense in the books heading into House of Glass! Congratulations!
(Bronson drops down and rolls out of the ring, beginning to make his way up the ramp with the World Heavyweight Championship. The referee is seen checking on an unconscious Myles inside the ring, as the last shot seen is Bronson raising his title in the air while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade…)
(Or does it?)
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL?! FROM BEHIND! THAT’S SOSA HENDERSON! AND HE JUST SMASHED THAT STEEL CHAIR AGAINST THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! WE KNOW WHY HE’S HERE!
Jake Mercer: YES! GET HIM SOSA!
Stew-O: SOSA DROPS THE CHAIR DOWN AND IS BEATING DOWN BRONSON WITH REPEATED STOMPS ALL OVER HIS BODY! THANKS TO WHAT HAPPENED IN HIS MATCH, THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO! SOSA GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND…
Flannery McCoy: ‘STOLE YO BITCH’! JUMPING CUTTER DROPS BRONSON DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SOSA HENDERSON MAKES HIS INTENTIONS LOUD AND CLEAR! HE WANTS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
(SOSA looks down at Bronson, wiping away strands of hair as he picks up the World Heavyweight Championship. He takes a good look at it, before emphatically raising it up into the air. The last shot seen is SOSA Henderson standing over the body of Bronson Daniels as Friday Night Dynasty fades out from there.)
