Midsummer Massacre (2025)

Midsummer Massacre (2025)

(EAW Intro Plays)

(As the camera pans, the lit up City of Shanghai is seen coming up from the water. The famous Oriental Pearl TV Tower, The Bund, Wu Garden and the Shanghai Tower. A pink motorcycle appears at the edge of The Bund, overlooking the city as the rider takes off her helmet, long black hair flowing down.)

Narrator: Power. Beauty. Determination. Those are the words that describe the female Elitists in the EAW today. Strength. Perseverance. Focus. Those can be said about ALL that wrestle in the EAW. This is Shanghai, the most beautiful city in China. It is the hot summer months and with that, the EAW rolls into our country and they are ready to show the world the best from Showdown.

(The footage starts to play of Auburn Ware pointing to the crowd, before it switches to Brianna Hill with Silas Mason, it then switches again to Auburn and Brianna both tumbling off the loading dock into the rubble below. We then see Caroline raising her arms in the mist with her eyes gazing right at her opponent, Vincent Mondrian who screams in a rage. It then shows both brawling before being separated.)

Narrator: And it is that hot summer night that we have so many memories of. The ones were vacations, good times with family, grill outs, and sports around the world, but now, it is that time honored tradition here in the City of Shanghai where we will witness Street Fights, Falls Count Anywhere, and some matches where opportunity is at stake.

(The footage switches to #Hashtag MEMBERS Bridget Bridget and Clayton Golde both on Social media touting their dominance. It then has Showtime, Damien Kutcher and Akari Kiyoko both together, posing. It then has #HASHSTAG and Showtime battling each other. It then turns to Impact standing tall, Xander Payne with his arms crossed, and Solomon Stane slowly walking to the ring. Then all three Elitists tried to take each other out.)

Narrator: But with that opportunity also comes sacrifice. You cannot get a reward without the risk but is that worth it all? For any Elitist, it certainly is.

(As the footage switches, it shows Jake Smith laughing, then it has Joso pointing at the camera, and then Daryl Kinkade poses, before he flies off the ropes on to Jake Smith, who then has Joso attack Daryl before all three are fighting one another. Then we have Harper Lee holding the National Elite Championship with a smile as Silas Mason nods. Then Pandora Paisley lowers her sunglasses and winks. Suddenly it changes to Harper flying through the ropes on Pandora and then The hellcat striking Harper with a rolling fist as Silas watches.)

Narrator: And then finally, we have Two World Championships, both held by strong women, and in this Summer Spectacular, could it be all about Girl Power?

(Ms. Extreme raises the Universal Women’s Championship. As Bea Valentine lies in the ring and poses for the camera. We then see both women attack one another and beat each other in a rematch from Pain For Pride. Finally, Donovan Duke glares into the camera with Silas Mason standing by his side. Veena Adams holds the Answers World Championship proudly. It then changes to Veena Adams getting choked out by Donovan, with it switching to Veena then laying Donovan out as then the two stare at each other.)

Narrator: And with that…. Welcome to Shanghai… and your invitation to…. THE MIDSUMMER MASSACRE!

(The woman puts the helmet back on and rides off into the city lights, slowly fading away.)

???: AND NOW TIK TOK PRESENTS SHOWDOWN’S EXCLUSIVE BRAND MAQUEE LIVE EVENT… MIDSUMMER MASSACRE!!!!

(The camera pans into the Shanghai Stadium all lit up in gold and pink as the crowd is up on their feet cheering. “Unstoppable” by Sia plays while the fireworks go off. The sound is deafening as the camera then pans over to the Showdown announce team of Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland.)

Deadprez: SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK!!!! WELCOME TO MIDSUMMER MASSACRE LIKE ONLY SHOWDOWN CAN PUT ON MARQUEE LIVE EVENTS HERE LIVE FROM SHANGHAI! ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN THE WORLD! WHAT A NIGHT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT AND I AM HERE WITH MY FELLOW ANNOUNCE TEAM OF EVE! AND GAVIN KIRKLAND! HISTORY WILL BE MADE TONIGHT!

WE WILL ALSO SEE WHAT TAG TEAM WILL GET A SHOT AT THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM TITLES! WE WERE ALSO TOLD JUST AS WE WENT ON THE AIR, THAT KENNEDY STREET HAS A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING TERRITORIAL INVASION!

Gavin Kirkland: DON’T FORGET THAT THERE ARE SOME BAD BLOOD MATCHES WHICH WILL BE SOLVED HERE TONIGHT, TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE! AND COULD WE SEE A HELLCAT BECOME SILAS WORLD OR THE NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! ALL THAT AND SO MUCH MORE, MAN I AM EXCITED TO BE IN SHANGHAI!

Deadprez: WE ARE NOT GOING TO WASTE ANYTIME! AS ADVERTISED WE HAVE A TRIPLE MAIN EVENT HERE AT MIDSUMMER MASSACRE WITH THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE! AND YOU KNOW HOW WE LOVE TO KICK IT OFF WITH A BANG HERE ON SHOWDOWN! AND IT’S ABOUT TO GET EVEN HOTTER WITH THIS OPENING CONTEST THAT HAS HUGE STAKES ON THE LINE BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THOSE THREE MAIN EVENTS AND IT IS GOING TO BE A HUMDINGER! TAKE IT AWAY GINA ROMANO!

(As the camera changes to Gina Romano in the middle of the ring, the graphic for the first match appears and the crowd roars in excitement.) 

(‘Gloria’ terrifically arranged by the London Symphony Orchestra, plays across the field of Shanghai Stadium to a loud cheer from the crowd, which is buzzing with excitement. Bea Valentine steps out of the ring, waving her hand at the audience. Maintaining her royal presentation and high-class demeanor, she makes a careful stride toward the ring, clearly carrying the intention of taking the championship away from Ms. Extreme tonight.) 

Gavin Kirkland: Former Universal Women’s Champion and 2025 Empress of Elite winner has arrived at Shanghai Stadium, looking to take her crown jewel back from the Phoenix Queen tonight!

Deadprez: Damn, what a crowd! 

Eve: Great ovation from the crowd for this high-stakes, must-see rematch. We’ve already seen what happens when these two are put in the same ring, and this is about to deliver yet another potential masterpiece of women’s wrestling in the making.

(Valentine makes her way into the ring, interacting with some of the crowd as she goes. The fans respond in good faith, giving her a motivated cheer that makes her feel right at home. Valentine then removes her entrance coat and rests in the corner. ‘The Emptiness Machine’ by Linkin Park begins blaring, prompting a very different reaction from the audience than what Bea Valentine received. There are mixed cheers and boos. Cheers because Ms. Extreme is a respected EAW legend, and boos because of the intensity and aura she carries. Eventually, Ms. Extreme emerges, the Universal Women’s Championship draped around her waist, staring straight at Valentine as she takes off her custom-made sunglasses with ‘EXTREME’ emblazoned across them, revealing the fierce glare of a champion. Camile then begins her long entrance from the stage down toward the ring for her first defense in this brutal rematch.)

Eve: The Champ is here! 

Gavin Kirkland: Great entrance from the champion indeed. These two women have already showcased the luxury of their presentation in their entrances before the fight has even begun, proving there’s much more to them than their perfectly tailored attire. This is about to be very exciting to watch!

Deadprez: Considering what happened at Pain for Pride this year between these two, I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of emotion driving this match and plenty of rage in the air. This won’t be your average women’s wrestling match, because we are truly about to witness something magnificent.

(Ms. Extreme eventually arrives in the ring and takes off her entrance coat as well, with Bea Valentine giving her the same look. Ms. Extreme mirrors that seriousness on her face as her theme dies down and the familiar voice of Showdown can be heard.)

Gina Romano: THE OPENING/FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IT IS FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!

Crowd: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: 

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER!… FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS!… WEIGHING IN AT 143 POUNDS!…THE ETERNAL EMPRESS…. BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!… VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

(Camera pans closer, focusing on Bea Valentine with her chin slightly tilted up and her chest out, giving a subtle, crooked smirk while staring across the ring from where she currently stands but the smirk slowly turns into a furious glare at the champion, signaling that the challenger is locking in with full focus.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION! … FROM GLACIER COUNTY, MONTANA! … WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS! … SHE IS THE CURRENT REIGNING AND DEFENDING EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! … EAW HALL OF FAMER, THE PHOENIX QUEEN … MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!

(Camera switches and pans to the champion, unstrapping the championship from her waist and raising it high above her head while staring across the ring at the challenger. Ms. Extreme doesn’t show much of a smirk, but rather a serious glare through the atmosphere of this entire moment before placing the belt back on her shoulder and keeping her head held high.)

Gavin Kirkland: There we go, introductions for the two women are done, and we are now getting ready to see what’s about to happen next.

(The referee then comes to collect the belt from the champion and presents it in front of Bea Valentine. Valentine gives it a close, sarcastic glance before nodding and shifting back to her serious demeanor. The referee then turns to Ms. Extreme, showing her the belt, and she simply nods as well. He moves to the center of the ring, raising the championship high under the bright lights, with the crowd giving it a round of applause in appreciation before the bell rings. Both competitors are ready with eyes locked and set for what’s to come next. The referee hands the title to the ringside staff to keep it safe, then signals for the bell to ring.)

(## DING DING DING!) 

Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS THE REMATCH WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! 

Eve: Quite a rematch in the making indeed. After a cinematic moment that the entire EAW spectrum has witnessed firsthand, what you’re about to see right here is an even more compelling sequel in the making-

Gavin Kirkland: AND MS. EXTREME BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER IN THE SAME WAY SHE DID AGAINST BEA VALENTINE, LOOKING TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN WITH A QUICK HOLY GROUND STOMP!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: We’ve all seen this kind of parallel before, but Valentine refuses to let it play out, with the challenger removing herself from the path and causing Ms. Extreme to drive both feet straight into the empty canvas!

Gavin Kirkland: VALENTINE AVOIDS THE CALLBACK TO THEIR PREVIOUS MATCH AS THE CHAMPION TURNS QUICKLY AS BEA PUTS HER FULL MOMENTUM BEHIND A RUNNING BOOT…. LAUNCHING HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER AT FULL SPEED WITH THE BEA TRIGGER, FORCEFULLY LOOKING TO BLAST MS. EXTREME IN THE JAW!!!!!!

Eve: The Bicycle Knee Strike was aimed directly at the head of Bea Valentine, but the champ avoided it in no time and quickly clung to the leg. Valentine already had her head up in the clouds from that near hit, and MS. EXTREME CAPITALIZED ON THE MOMENT, LOOKING TO LIFT HER UP FOR THE RED QUEEN’S RAMPAGE!!!!!! THE KNOCKOUT SLAM!!!!!!

Deadprez: Bea just can’t let that happen and stubbornly holds her ground up there, driving pointed elbows into the top of Ms. Extreme’s head repeatedly, forcing the champ to release her and causing the Red Queen’s Rampage to fail to connect!

Eve: And now Valentine drops to her feet and strikes Ms. Extreme in the chest with a sharp CHOP to the heart, quickly following up with another! 

Deadprez: Them chops thunderous and echoing throughout the arena and she continues to pick up the pace, drawing another chop, trying to wear down the champ even further- BUT THIS TIME, MS. EXTREME CATCHES THE ARM JUST AS VALENTINE FIRES OFF ANOTHER CHOP DIRECTLY AT HER! 

Gavin Kirkland: THAT THIRD ATTEMPT DOESN’T WORK, AS THE CHAMPION DRAGS THE CHALLENGER IN AND TRAPS HER IN THE HOLD… EXPLODER SUPLEX BY MS. EXTREME, DRIVING VALENTINE TO LAND RIGHT ON HER NECK!!!!!!!!!!!! She was driven into the ground so hard, it might already be a bad sign for the challenger going forward! 

Eve: Ms. Extreme is growing more desperate, yet remains as cold and calculated as ever, looking to beat Valentine the same way she did at Pain for Pride! 

Gavin Kirkland: Now Ms. Extreme makes her mark and moves from her position… LEAPS OVER THE BACK OF BEA VALENTINE AND PLANTS HER WITH CODE RED!!!!!! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB, QUICKLY HOOKING THE LEG OF THE CHALLENGER!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE POWERS OUT AT TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! 


(As soon as the sunset flip powerbomb connects, Valentine rolls out of the ring to the outside, her back arching from the impact. Spasming slightly, Bea swings her leg under her body as she carefully rises from the concrete floor.)

Deadprez: Ms. Extreme is once again putting her prowess on display to show that she’s ready to dominate Bea Valentine. This also parallels what we witnessed at this year’s Pain for Pride where Ms. Extreme took control from the very outset! 

Eve: It’s been a groggy position for the challenger to settle into so far in this match, and Ms. Extreme is looking to continually showcase her extreme vision as she’s making Bea Valentine suffer by her own words.

Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme quickly exits the ring through the ropes to pick the struggling Valentine up from the ground….

(SLAP!)  

Gavin Kirkland: And as soon as she lifts her up, she carelessly swats Valentine’s face away with a backhand! Now she’s looking to unleash the consequences on Valentine in a relentless sequence… CAMILLE GRABS VALENTINE AND BRUTALLY SLAMS HER FACE INTO THE STEEL POST!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly, Bea Valentine switches things up, using the force of her movements to turn the tide with visceral physicality. She slams Ms. Extreme into the ring post instead, causing Camille’s head to snap back from the impact.)

Eve: OH!!!! 

Deadprez: That one doesn’t end well!

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine comes in clutch with a counter maneuver against Ms. Extreme, driving her face into the steel post!

Eve: That doesn’t bode well for the champion, but the challenger is already looking to keep up the pace! 

Deadprez: She formulates her next plan and engages with Ms. Extreme once again around the same steel post!

(Desperation is already at an all-time high for Bea Valentine, her hunger to win the Universal Women’s Championship driving her. Valentine quickly jogs past the steel post, grabs Camille by both wrists, and yanks her in with all her strength!-)

(## CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Deadprez: OH GOD! 

Gavin Kirkland: At this point, she’s clearly trying to crack her skull open and inflict irreversible brain damage! 

Eve: She is truly digging deep to utilize every part of the ring to gain the upper hand!

(## CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: One isn’t enough, so she goes for more! Valentine pulls the champion in again, slamming her face into the steel post once more! 

Deadprez: Oh man! She might already be on the verge of blacking out!

(Valentine didn’t stop there, pulling the Phoenix Queen in again to smash her into the post. Camille showed no sign of relief, likely squinting with both eyes and on the verge of passing out which drew the polar opposite reaction from Bea Valentine in psychological terms as the glare of the Eternal Empress cut through with hissed breathing while she attempted to completely shut Camille down.)

Eve: Bea Valentine lets go as she’s seemingly having a change of plan. Referee inside the ring tries to call them back as Valentine throws a battered-looking Ms. Extreme who is currently in poor condition! 

Gavin Kirkland: There are far harsher forms of brutality that Camille has endured, and this might as well be child’s play for her unless Valentine pushes it further than she already has.

(Referee is about to check on her, but Valentine quickly yanks the back of the referee’s collar to pull him out of the way. Valentine immediately drops down and begins raining down a harsh barrage of forearms on the grounded Ms. Extreme who is already down and likely beginning to bleed from repeatedly crashing into the steel post moments ago.) 

Deadprez: Ah damn, is she bleeding too?!

Gavin Kirkland: Considering the powerful damage Valentine just inflicted on Ms. Extreme, it was enough to crack a skull open and let the blood overflow. Surely, that’s exactly what Valentine wanted in this match and we aren’t even minutes into it yet!

Eve: And that’s absolutely not the challenger’s concern, whether the champion is okay or not, as she gets off the ground and begins stomping on her head like she’s trying to force something out of Ms. Extreme!

(Unable to stand it any longer, the referee eventually had to step in, trying to stop Bea Valentine from continuing something that had gone unchecked and could have posed a serious risk to the champion in this match. Valentine had been lunging forward with her boots, stomping and pressing down on Ms. Extreme’s head!) 

Referee: (Off-Mic) Hey come on, Bea! That’s enough! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR- 

Gavin Kirkland: Luckily, the official of this match was able to put a stop to it, forcing Bea Valentine to back off for the moment then plays to the crowd who seem to be enjoying her display! 

Deadprez: But cutting back to Ms. Extreme. She looks absolutely exhausted, as if she’s trying to recover from the bloodbath that Bea just put her through. Christ…

Eve: Knowing Ms. Extreme, she’s determined to keep going in this match, marching forward with the goal of retaining her championship as she already gets back on her feet, brushes past the referee, and is ready for a fight-

Gavin Kirkland: STANDING CUTTER FROM BEA VALENTINE PUTS HER DOWN!!!! VALENTINE PUSHES HER OVER AND GOES FOR A COVER IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND MS. EXTREME POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!

Deadprez: Valentine appears slightly angered by the situation, but she quickly regains her composure with splatters of blood from Ms. Extreme on her shoulder. Hmmm… she seems to treat it like a badge of honor!

(Valentine sits up and wipes some blood off her shoulder, then looks into the camera, showing it smeared across her fingers as she snickers softly.)

Eve: The Universal Women’s Champion is currently caught in position, struggling against the challenger, giving Valentine the edge right now. Valentine is already closing in-  PULLING HER RIGHT IN AND LOOKING TO HIT THE CONSPIRACY IMMEDIATELY! WATCH OUT! 

Gavin Kirkland: NO! FLOATING OVER, MS. EXTREME QUICKLY FORMULATES A COUNTER AGAINST BEA VALENTINE, ATTEMPTING A SWINGING REVERSE STO THAT COULD PAVE THE WAY TO THE END AS SHE FLIPS DOWN WHILE HOLDING ONTO THAT ARM.… SHE’S TRYING TO CATCH VALENTINE RED HANDED! FUJIWARA ARMBA-

Deadprez: BUT VALENTINE IS ONE STEP AHEAD, ALREADY HAVING THE INSTINCT TO AVOID WHAT COULD HAVE SPELL THE END FOR HER! 

Eve: BEA QUICKLY KICKS HER FEET UP AGAINST THE MAT, BENDING HER BODY BACK AND PRESSING BOTH OF MS. EXTREME’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT INSTEAD, TRANSITIONING INTO A ROLL-UP!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: AND A KICK OUT BY THE CHAMP!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine came up short but isn’t looking to miss the next one, as Valentine quickly springs off the mat and attempts to throw a dropkick at Camille’s throat the moment she gets up!

Eve: AVOID YET AGAIN! MS. EXTREME ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET, REACHING FOR VALENTINE FROM THE SIDE AND PULLING HER IN, ATTEMPTING A GERMAN SUPLEX! 

Deadprez: BUT VALENTINE SWINGS HER ELBOW BACK, STRIKING CAMILLE IN THE FACE AND CAUSING HER TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL FOR A MOMENT!

Gavin Kirkland: SWINGING BUT SHE GETS CAUGHT! HER ARM IS TRAPPED AS CAMILLE SLIDES DOWN AND LOCKS HER FORM BENEATH BEA VALENTINE’S SHOULDER AS CAMILE TRANSITIONS TO TRAP THE OTHER ARM AS WELL COMPLETING THE HOLD!…. DRAGON SUPLEX DRIVES BEA VALENTINE TO THE CANVAS!!!!!! 

Eve: Valentine stumbles to the ground after taking the impact, causing the back of her head to snap against the mat. Now Bea ends up near the ropes as Ms. Extreme picks up the pace and rises to her feet… AND MS. EXTREME RUSHES IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS BEA VALENTINE OVER THE ROPES AND OUTSIDE THE RING!!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Camille has to think fast and quickly comes up with a plan. She moves through the ropes as Valentine is still stumbling outside, looking dazed from the earlier Dragon Suplex! Camille wastes no time… COMING OFF THE APRON WITH A FLYING SPINNING HEEL KICK AT BEA VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: UH OH! 

(Camille spins out and flies in for the kick, but Valentine awakens herself through the pain, catching Camille mid-swing and landing her right into her arms. Transitioning into a rear scoop as she counters the aerial maneuver on the outside. Camille immediately struggles to shake herself free from the grasp, but Valentine quickly positions her head between the champion’s legs and lifts her upside down.) 

Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE’S EYES WIDEN AS SHE QUICKLY COUNTERS WHAT COULD HAVE TAKEN AN UNFORTUNATE TURN AGAINST HER, AND NOW VALENTINE IS WALKING TOWARD US! 

Eve: BEA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-

(## CRACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: ALABAMA SLAM SENDS MS. EXTREME CRASHING INTO THE EDGE OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! CAMILLE HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Oh, look out guys! 

(Once the Alabama Slam drove Camille against the edge of the table, her body fell across it, with her arms pinwheeling from the impact as she tumbled over to land behind the commentary table.) 

Eve: That was far from the kind of crash anyone would want to take, and it shows just how aggressive Bea Valentine has become in this match in capitalizing to reap the greatest benefit against the champion.

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine is completely over it right now, seeing the state Ms. Extreme is in. Camille, wake up! Fight back, champ!

Eve: Challenger keeps her head in the game, following the champion as she moves closer to our area. Valentine is tracking down Ms. Extreme with even more aggressive intent hidden behind each footstep.

(Valentine then begins walking along the side, rounding the corner of the commentary table to yank the groggy Camille up from the ground as she blasts her in the jaw with a right hook, sending blood flying from her head, some of it splattering across Valentine’s fist!)

Gavin Kirkland: Blood flies from her head as Valentine throws a hard right hand, then another for good measure, sending Ms. Extreme tumbling away from our area!

Deadprez: Ah man, it’s all over my suit! 

Gavin Kirkland: Really? Lemme have a taste! 

Eve: I- What? 

Deadprez: Please stay away from all of us, sir. 

Eve: Anyway, Ms. Extreme is now seen leaning against the apron after tumbling back from that right hand shot. Now Valentine catches up to the Phoenix Queen and nails a sharp chop across her chest!

Gavin Kirkland: Striking her in the heart, Valentine then proceeds to drag Ms. Extreme off the apron… only to shove her back, sending Camille’s spine crashing against the edge of the apron this time! 

Deadprez: First, it was our commentary table, and now it’s the ring apron!

Gavin Kirkland: Now the challenger propels herself onto the apron, pulling the hurt Ms. Extreme up alongside her while keeping her target in sight. Both are now standing on the most dangerous part of the ring!

Eve: She must have an even harsher plan in mind to exploit Ms. Extreme’s condition, aiming to slowly destroy her from the inside. 

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine now begins hooking the arms and twisting Ms. Extreme over!… OH NO! SHE’S LOOKING FOR BEA-MY-VALENTINE ON THE APRON!!!!! 

Deadprez: THE UNPRETTIER! 

Eve: MS. EXTREME AWAKENS IN THE MIDST OF DANGER THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED HER GREAT HARM AND QUICKLY PULLS BEA VALENTINE’S ARMS… AND SHOVES HER FROM BEHIND, SENDING VALENTINE CRASHING INTO THE RING POST RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S PAYBACK FOR WHAT SHE DID EARLIER WHEN VALENTINE SPLATTERING SOME BLOOD OVER HER HEAD IN THE PROCESS! 

Eve: VALENTINE STUMBLES BACK AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE CRUSHING IMPACT, STAGGERING AS CAMILLE SNATCHES A HANDFUL OF HER BLOOD-SOAKED HAIR AND LIFTS HER UP! 

Deadprez: Oh- THIS IS ABOUT TO GET NASTY-

Eve: HAIR-PULL GORY SPECIAL PLANTS BEA VALENTINE ON THE APRON WITH AUTHORITY!!!!!!!!!!!!! MS. EXTREME COMES UP WITH AN IMPACTFUL STRATEGY!!!!!!!! 

(Valentine gets slammed hard onto the apron’s surface with the momentum working against her and sending her tumbling off the apron to land flat on the outside of the ring, while Camille sits on the edge, trying to recover.) 

Gavin Kirkland: Not quite a great spot for the challenger to be in after having her face slammed that hard. 

Deadprez: Quickly transitioning from having all the momentum to seal the deal against the champion to realizing that things don’t work in her favor that easily.

Eve: Camille hops off the apron and tosses Valentine back into the ring, with Valentine covering her face and clutching her chest, still feeling the effects of the earlier Gory Special impact. Now Camille drags the challenger back into the ring, and now the match continues within the squared circle!

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine clutches her stomach and tries to throw a shot at Ms. Extreme only for the champion to catch her right hand and pull her in driving a cold knee up against her jaw!\

Deadprez: One knee isn’t enough to keep the challenger under pressure, and more might do the trick. Camille proceeds to punish Bea, driving the same knee into her face over and over again! 

Eve: These aren’t just standard knee strikes as Camille is expertly utilizing this tactical offense against Bea Valentine, aiming to wear her down while trying to knock her out at the same time!

Gavin Kirkland: She has made sure that Valentine is down for good and now quickly comes off her, making her way toward the ropes, bouncing back at Bea-

Eve: SLINGBLADE FROM BEA VALENTINE!!!!  

Deadprez: OHHH!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Desperation calls for it yet again, as Camille is taken down by a sudden burst of energy behind that sliding tackle! Camille stumbles to her feet while Bea Valentine regroups, refocusing on dismantling the champion!… DISCUS LARIAT FROM BEA VALENTINE TURNS CAMILLE INSIDE OUT!!!!! 

Deadprez: Right on the money, baby. That’s how you hit it like a champ, even without holding the belt right now!

Eve: VALENTINE MOVES HERSELF AWAY FROM THE CHAMPION AND TOWARD THE CORNER, IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO CLIMB TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE CAMILLE IS STILL DOWN ON THE MAT! 

Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE IS STILL REELING FROM THE LARIAT AS VALENTINE REACHES THE TOP TO TAKE FLIGHT!…. BEA COMES OFF THE TOP WITH FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA!!!!!!!!! 

Eve: Camille slips out under the bottom rope and quickly pulls herself up onto the apron! Valentine rises back to her feet soon enough, turns her head around, and makes a run toward the champion!

Deadprez: And a boot from Camille through the apron sends Bea Valentine stumbling back into the ring! 

Thinking quickly to counter the challenger’s momentum, Camille grips the rope tightly to be the one to take flight this time! SPRINGBOARD- 

Eve: SUPERKICK IN THE MID AIR!!!!!!!! CAMILLE IS CAUGHT COMPLETELY OFF GUARD BY A KICK STRIKING HER HARD IN THE JAW MIDAIR AS SHE ATTEMPTS A SPRINGBOARD ATTACK!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE DROPS TO HER KNEES, STUNNED, WHILE VALENTINE STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER AND MOVES OUT OF THE WAY… SHINING WIZARD FROM THE ETERNAL EMPRESS KNOCKS THE CHAMPION DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VALENTINE QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COUNT!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE KICKS OUT AT TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: Another failed attempt to beat Ms. Extreme only fuels the growing frustration in Bea Valentine’s mind, shown clearly by the deep frown on her face after the kick out with some of the champion’s blood spattered across her body and arms! 

Deadprez: Camille is already struggling to get up and is left in a groggy position against Bea Valentine, allowing the challenger to seize the agility advantage quickly and come out on top… BEA RUSHES IN, RAISING HER KNEE HIGH FOR THE BEA TRIGGER!!!!!!!!!

Eve: TWIST OF FATE!!!!!!! VALENTINE RUSHED IN, READY TO EXPLODE WITH A KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE JAW, BUT IT WAS DENIED AND REVERSED INTO A SPINNING NECKBREAKER!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: SHE COULDN’T GET ALL OF IT, GIVEN HOW URGENTLY THE MOVE WAS PULLED OFF, BUT MS. EXTREME QUICKLY RISES FROM THE MAT, SEIZES BEA VALENTINE YET AGAIN, AND BEGINS TO LIFT THE CHALLENGER SLOWLY… GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!! MS. EXTREME PLANTS BEA VALENTINE INTO THE MAT AND BRIDGES INTO THE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: TWOOOO!!!! BEA VALENTINE POWERS OUT OF IT!!!!! 

(Proning away and gasping for air, Ms. Extreme is seen heaving forward with her hands braced on her knees, sweat and blood dripping down her head and chin from everything she’s endured against this tough challenger so far while Bea Valentine reels from the force of the German suplex with its impact rattling her spine and leaving her body tense on the mat.)

Deadprez: Valentine is giving it all she’s got, but it only seems to motivate the champion to fight back even harder. Now Valentine finds herself on the outside area and once again tending to her own pain.

Eve: Camille realizes that her challenger has found herself on the outside yet again. She slowly picks herself up from the ground, keeping a close watch on her challenger at a short distance, possibly loading up for some momentum here.

(Crowd begins clapping in rhythm and rises to its feet, ready to witness another spectacle as Ms. Extreme hypes them up while raising her arms wide. Valentine struggles on her back to get up, already giving Ms. Extreme the time she needs to reload another bullet in her clip and come charging through the ropes!)

Gavin Kirkland: And now the champ runs through!- SUICIDE DIVE!!!!!!!!! 

Eve: Valentine gets bowled over by the suicide dive from Ms. Extreme, sending her colliding with our commentary table yet again! Things are breaking down around our table area, and this suddenly seems like a bad spot to be in!

Deadprez: Not again! 

(Once both women are down on the outside after Ms. Extreme sends herself crashing into Bea Valentine, she slowly pushes herself off the ground and rises, tending to the throbbing pain while leaning against the barricade. Camile watches Bea Valentine on the ground, suffering yet again from the relentless offense striking against her core.) 

Gavin Kirkland: That one good suicide dive from Ms. Extreme must have hit Valentine from back to front, creating a smarter offensive plan for Ms. Extreme to execute as she takes advantage of the situation in this moment.

(For a moment, Ms. Extreme was waiting to set up her next plan, until she suddenly walked toward Bea Valentine to pull her off the ground and began clearing off the commentary table.)

Deadprez: What could be her plan here?…. 

Eve: Can’t say for sure, but this is going to be a high-risk situation for Bea Valentine, as Ms. Extreme has everything set up quickly, preparing a warm bed for her to be laid out on!

(While Ms. Extreme was preparing to lay Valentine on the table, suddenly Valentine’s right hand shot up, seizing Ms. Extreme by the throat and trying to drag her down onto the commentary table trying to choke her out.)

Gavin Kirkland: MAYBE NOT! Challenger suddenly shoots up with a surge of adrenaline, trying to drag Camille down with her, but Camille starts firing and driving her elbow right into Bea Valentine’s face, immediately applying pressure the moment Valentine tries to get her hands on her!

Eve: Valentine eventually couldn’t get all of it, which allows Ms. Extreme to take full control here. Now, what will the champion’s next move be?

Deadprez: Interesting…. 

(Referee watches everything unfold on the outside, and it’s taken too long for both women to return to the ring, so he starts the count and warns them.) 

Referee: (Off-Mic) ONE!… TWO!… THREE! HEY, GET BACK IN THE RING! 

(Camille glances around and looks back at the referee, and it seems she has an idea in her head. She slowly slides back into the ring, giving everyone a bit of confusion about what she’s planning… until she begins to climb to the top.)

Gavin Kirkland: Oh no….

Deadprez: Camille, what are you doing???? 

(Crowd pulls out their phones and watches in anticipation at what she’s about to do. Camille eventually reaches the top, where Bea Valentine is still laid flat on the table. Camille pauses for a moment, standing tall on the top rope, letting out a huge sigh before making her move-) 

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD- NO!!!!

Deadprez: OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!-

(## CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Eve: ## DIVING SHOOTING STAR SENTON ON BEA VALENTINE THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE!!!!!!!!!!! MS. EXTREME, YOU ARE THE CRAZY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! 

Deadprez: Good God, what did I just witness? Are either of these two even alive right now, and are their hearts still beating? Can someone check on them with CPR?!

Gavin Kirkland: This is seriously concerning……

(Collective noise of the crowd across Shanghai Stadium is filled with stunned stammering, rolling through the arena after what they just witnessed, with loud chants breaking out. The referee looks down at the scene, realizing he has to keep counting regardless of what just happened. Both Ms. Extreme and Bea Valentine are in similar condition with their eyes shut wide and showing no signs of getting up.) 

Referee: ONE!… TWO!… THREE!… FOUR!….

Eve: There’s no choice but to let the show go on, despite what has been done to these two so far. Ms. Extreme doesn’t seem like she’s getting up anytime soon, and neither does Bea, who is still laid out on the ground after that huge attack that just cooled down her aggression. 

Deadprez: There must be some way through this! We’ve seen this happen on multiple occasions!

Referee: FIVE!….

(Crawling slowly and seeming to awaken from her slump, Ms. Extreme’s eyelids twitch as she glassily glares toward the ring, moving herself in that direction while Bea Valentine remains unmoved at the time she’s already pulling herself up.)

Referee: SIX!… SEVEN!…. 

Gavin Kirkland: And the champion is up as she’s trying to head towards the ring!-

Eve: Gavin, LOOK! 

(Following behind is Bea Valentine, who is also slowly getting up in the same environment, crawling after Ms. Extreme from behind. Ms. Extreme is about to make it close to the ring when she turns around and notices that her challenger is also attempting to get up quickly as well.) 

Referee: EIGHT!…

Deadprez: MS. EXTREME COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE RING BY NOW, BUT INSTEAD SHE NEEDS HER OPPONENT TO STAY DOWN FIRST, DELIVERING A KICK TO HER CHIN THAT SENDS BEA VALENTINE TUMBLING AWAY FROM THE RING! 

Gavin Kirkland: BEA STUMBLES BACK AND CAMILLE QUICKLY GRABS THE APRON, ABOUT TO SLIDE INTO THE RING!

Referee: NINE!….

Eve: VALENTINE IS LUCKILY ABLE TO QUICKLY RECOVER FROM THAT KICK IN TIME, KEEPING HER HANDS ON THE APRON ON THE SAME SIDE AS MS. EXTREME WHO IS ALREADY EAGER TO RUSH BACK INTO THE RING!

Referee: TEN!-

Eve: BOTH WOMEN GET INSIDE THE RING AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT’S NOT THE CHAMPION’S CONCERN, AS SHE TURNS AROUND TO QUICKLY PICK BEA VALENTINE UP OFF THE GROUND, FOLDING HER UP LIKE A DUMPLING AND MANHANDLING HER WITH SPEED!… RED QUEEN RAMPAGE PLANTS BEA AS HARD AS SHE CAN INTO THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!! 

Deadprez: CLINGING ONTO THAT ARM NOW, VALENTINE QUICKLY COMES UP, TRYING TO PREVENT MS. EXTREME FROM EXECUTING THE KNOCKOUT SLAM ON HER! SHE TWISTS HER ARM, CAUSING PAIN TO COUNTER THE MOVE, USING IT TO HER ADVANTAGE AGAINST VALENTINE IN THE PROCESS!

Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME DOESN’T HAVE MUCH CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE BEA VALENTINE QUICKLY, YET SHE ENDS UP DRAGGING HER DOWN TO THE FLOOR! 

Eve: BEA STAYS STUBBORN, HANGING ONTO THAT ARM AND ATTEMPTING TO WEAKEN IT BY MANIPULATING AND TWISTING IT AROUND! 

Deadprez: WAIT, WHY IS SHE HEADING TOWARD THE CORNER?

(Camille was already dragging Bea Valentine down to the mat, but she begins positioning her with her face opposite the bottom turnbuckle. During that downward moment, Camille slips her arms free and quickly swings her legs around while Valentine was too fixated on that arm, causing her focus to loosen-)

Eve: OH MY GOD!-

Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE IMMEDIATELY SHUTS BEA VALENTINE DOWN WITH THE CATAPULT, TRANSITIONING FROM THE KNOCKOUT SLAM SETUP ONCE SHE DRAGGED VALENTINE INTO POSITION AS SHE DRIVES HER FACE INTO THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Yikes! 

(Valentine is absolutely reeling from the pain after taking the maneuver applied by Ms. Extreme. Squinting through one eye and trying to rise from the ground, she struggles while Ms. Extreme rolls out of the way and stands in front of her…)

Gavin Kirkland: VALENTINE COULD BARELY SEE ANYTHING AS MS. EXTREME STOOD IN FRONT OF HER, LAUNCHING HERSELF FROM WHERE SHE HAD JUST BEEN STANDING!- HOLY GROUND CONNECTS!!!! SHE FINALLY HITS IT!!!! 

Eve: COVER BY THE CHAMPION!!!! TO RETAIN!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: ## ONE!!! ONE!!! ONLY ONE!!!! WHAT?!?!?!?!??! BEA VALENTINE KICKS OUT OF THE HOLY GROUND AT ONE!!!!!!!! 

Deadprez: What the hell is going on right now, man???? 

Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME IS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK AT WHAT SHE’S JUST WITNESSED AND DESPERATELY CRAWLS AWAY, TRYING TO PICK UP HER PACE AS VALENTINE SEEMINGLY RISES FROM THE GROUND LIKE A WALKING CORPSE! 

Eve: AND MS. EXTREME SHOWS NO FEAR, GOING FOR ANOTHER SHOT OF HOLY GROUND!


Gavin Kirkland: THE CHAMPION RUSHES RIGHT INTO BEA SWARM!!!!! VALENTINE LEAPS HIGH OFF THE GROUND AND HITS CAMILLE WITH ONE OF HER OWN MUSHROOM STOMPS!!!! 

Deadprez: OHHHHHHHH!!!!! THAT ONE SEEMS SHE STOMPED HER EVEN HARDER THAN CAMILLE DID EARLIER! VALENTINE IMMEDIATELY DROPS AND DRAPES HERSELF OVER THE CHAMPION’S BODY!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WE’RE ABOUT TO CROWN A NEW CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(…..)

(…..)

(…..)

(…..)

## THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Gavin Kirkland: SHOULDER BARELY OFF THE MAT, BUT SHE MAKES IT COUNT IN TIME!!!!!!! WE ALMOST HAD A NEW CHAMPION, BUT CAMILLE MAKES THE SAVE AND SURVIVES AT THE COUNT OF TWO!!!!!!

Eve: VALENTINE IS VISIBLY FRUSTRATED AFTER THAT ONE WHILE MS. EXTREME SEEMS TO BE OUT COLD FOR THE MOMENT!

Deadprez: WHAT IS GOING THROUGH BEA VALENTINE’S MIND AS SHE SUDDENLY SHOOTS UP FUELED BY A BURST OF RAGE?!

Gavin Kirkland: That’s what the momentum of a big match does to you once you reach the point where it becomes a huge climb for anyone to carry! Bea Valentine is stumbling but seizing the scene here! Valentine is making the climb as she’s rising high to the top! 

Eve: Ms. Extreme is still knocked out from the Mushroom Stomp she just took to the head! Valentine is up there again and if she misses this one, it could cost her!

Deadprez: But she’s going for it! 

Eve: Ms. Extreme is laid out below and Valentine takes a good measure!… FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA!!!!!!!!! FROG SPLASH ON MS. EXTREME!!!!!! VALENTINE THROWS A HOOK AT CAMILLE’S LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

(…..)

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(…..)

Eve: AND KICK OUT AGAIN!!!! MS. EXTREME IS NOT GOING DOWN EASILY!!!!!! 

(Valentine is being set off yet again after trying to hit Ms. Extreme as much as she possibly could, only to see her lying on the ground. Cracking screams and letting out a painful cry at the unsatisfying result as the champion keeps getting up and never hands anything back the way Valentine hopes, her shoulders slump as they are sagging under the weight of frustration.)

Gavin Kirkland: Knocking that one right out of the park, but nothing in her plan seems to blend well when Ms. Extreme remains determined to stay on her feet and keep herself in this battle!

Eve: Valentine’s frustration at failing to overcome her has only been mounting, with the shifting momentum driving her to the brink of madness.

Deadprez: She’s crawling off the ground yet again, while the champion continues to nurse her own pain and inflict more punishment to Valentine’s chest. Ms. Extreme refuses to relinquish her ground.

(Glancing back and noticing the perfect timing, Bea Valentine spots Ms. Extreme rising to her knees. Wasting no time, she makes a steady step toward the ropes, building to full speed. Off the ropes she comes—)

Gavin Kirkland: AND THE CHALLENGER CHARGES IN FROM MILES AWAY, BEA TRIGGER INBOUND!!!

Eve: BUT MS. EXTREME USES HER SURGE OF MOMENTUM TO CATCH UP TO VALENTINE’S SPEED, HOISTING HER OFF THE GROUND IN ONE SWIFT MOTION… RED QUEEN RAMPAGE!!!

Deadprez: Oh, keep your eyes on this!

Eve: AND ANOTHER ONE—DRIVING STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF VALENTINE’S NECK! THE SECOND COMING OF RED QUEEN RAMPAGE!!! TWO DEVASTATING SLAMS LAND PERFECTLY ON BEA VALENTINE, FOLDING HER INTO THE COVER!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEE-

Eve: Valentine has managed to overcome the obstacle, surviving the pinfall! Another remarkable kick-out from her!

Gavin Kirkland: This is a true spectacle of women’s wrestling right here, and they are absolutely trying to destroy each other! Ms. Extreme is already covered in crimson, as if she just stepped out of a blood rain shower!

Deadprez: Good god, man…. this feels like I’m watching a masterpiece sequel unfold before my eyes!

Eve: Valentine is still reeling from those knockout slams, and although she managed to avoid further danger, Ms. Extreme now has her sights set on something even bigger! She’s heading up to the top rope with urgency!

Gavin Kirkland: In this position, Valentine has to act fast if she doesn’t want to crumble under the pressure!

Deadprez: All she can do now is crawl and watch! Ms. Extreme is perched on the top rope, and here she comes… SOARING FOR THE GLASS CEILING! TOP ROPE STUNNER AIMED RIGHT AT BEAa

Eve: But Valentine evades at the last second, forcing the champion to tumble backward onto her spine before scrambling to her feet-

Gavin Kirkland: MY GOD!!! WHAT A VICIOUS, GROGGY DISCUS LARIAT THAT JUST TURNED MS. EXTREME INSIDE OUT, DROPPING HER TO HER KNEES!!!

Eve: Valentine wastes no time capitalizing on the opening she’s created! She hoists Camille onto her shoulders… FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER ON THE CHAMP!!! VALENTINE WITH THE COVER!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREE-

Eve: CAMILE KICKS OUT AT TWO-

Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO SLEEPER HOLD BY BEA VALENTINE!!!!!

Deadprez: Bea Valentine is throwing everything she has into putting Camille down once and for all! She’s pouring every ounce of effort into this match, determined to redeem the costly mistake that robbed her of the title on the grand stage of Pain for Pride!

Eve: Camille is desperately trying to hold on, but it’s clear Valentine is intent on ending her here and now!

(Camille’s hands claw frantically at Bea Valentine’s arm with her face reddening as she wheezes for breath. Camille kicks backward in desperation, but it’s no use as Valentine has her firmly restrained against the canvas, making it nearly impossible to move as Valentine tightens the stranglehold, squeezing the life out of her opponent.)

Eve: That sleeper hold is wearing Camille down, and it’s working to Valentine’s advantage! Ms. Extreme is struggling desperately to break free!

Gavin Kirkland: I wouldn’t count her out just yet but look at this! Ms. Extreme is forcing herself up off the mat, inch by inch, even with Valentine’s chokehold still cinched in tight!

Deadprez: And she slips back down again! Camille is fighting with everything she has just to regain her footing!

Gavin Kirkland: This is a perilous situation for our reigning champion! Bea Valentine is pouring every ounce of her strength into choking her out right here, right now!

(## AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: LET IT ALL OUT, CHAMP!

Deadprez: Bea Valentine is clinging to Camille’s back with that sleeper hold locked in tight like a sloth latched onto a tree!

Eve: But Camille is powering herself up, summoning every ounce of strength she has to drag herself to her feet while carrying Valentine’s full weight!… AND SHE FINALLY MANAGES TO SHAKE VALENTINE OFF, SHOVING HER FORWARD!

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine rolls through the shove, pops right back to her feet, and locks her sights on Ms. Extreme- BEA TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!

Eve: FRANKENSTEINER FROM MS. EXTREME! Camille catches Valentine mid-charge by flipping her straight into a roll-up as she runs right into it!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Eve: BEA VALENTINE ESCAPES!!!! SHE KICKS OUT AGAIN!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Valentine quickly regains her composure and is seen stumbling into the corner right after getting to her feet.

Eve: Camille locks her sights on Bea the moment she kicks out and wastes no time rushing in to collide with her in the corner!

Deadprez: REJECT! Valentine counters with a sharp elbow that catches the charging Ms. Extreme completely off guard, forcing her to stagger back as Bea swiftly ascends to the top rope-

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO—

(## CLANK!!!!)

Eve: Camille, still groggy from the elbow, stumbled into the corner, causing Bea to lose her footing and slam face-first into the top of the steel post!

(Valentine collapses to the mat, her neck stiffening as her eyes squeeze shut in agony. Her face contorts from the impact, and a dark drop of blood seeps onto her hand before falling slowly to the floor.)

Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE’S BLEEDING! THAT SHOT CAUGHT HER RIGHT IN THE HEAD!

Eve: Camille turns around only to find Valentine writhing in agony clutching at her pain! She had no idea what just happened! 

Deadprez: She may not know exactly what caused it, but she’s not wasting the moment as she charges straight at Valentine!-

Gavin Kirkland: HOLY GROUND!!!!! SHE STOMPS BEA INTO THE MAT!!!!!!! CAMILLE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!!!!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING DING DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOU WINNER… **AND STILL!**… EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!… MS. EXTREME!

Gavin Kirkland: One misstep can seal your fate, but what a match this was! This is a worthy sequel to their masterpiece at Pain for Pride!

Eve: We have once again witnessed history being made in the ring, and Camille truly endured one hell of a night. Bea Valentine brought another hard-fought battle that didn’t disappoint in the slightest!

Deadprez: Personally, I think the ending was a bit anticlimactic compared to what could have happened, but it was still a tremendous match between the two. Love the energy they brought to the Shanghai crowd tonight, man! 

Gavin Kirkland: What a contest we’ve just seen. Not the best night for Bea Valentine, as her arch-nemesis once again earned a hard-fought victory over her. Ms. Extreme continues to assert her dominance over the roster!

(‘Emptiness Machine’ by Linkin Park plays as Ms. Extreme is awarded the Universal Women’s Championship. Camille wipes some blood off her head before clutching the title, then leans against the ropes and, exhausted, falls through them onto the apron. Camille sits upon the apron, raising one hand in victory while holding the championship in the other, as Midsummer Massacre fades into a commercial break.)

(Commercial airs for the film Weapons, in theatres since July 6 and currently showing. Don’t miss another horror masterpiece from Zach Cregger.)

(The graphic for the next match appears)

Gina Romano: The following contest is a HARDCORE MATCH scheduled for ONE FALL…

( “Lacrimosa (Epic Remix)” by Samuel Kim plays, the camera shows Vincent Mondrian walking down the tunnel to the gorilla as the crowd has mixed reactions. However he didn’t care about that, all he wanted to do was put Caroline in her place. )

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent Mondrian, a former Interwire Champion looking for a huge victory here by destroying Caroline in this Hardcore match. One got to question how ready he is for this match up.

Eve: I’m sure Vincent is more ready then he has ever been, just look at his face pure focus as he—

( Before Vincent could even make it through the curtains CAROLINE SLAMS THE EDGE OF A CHAIR INTO HIS SPINE! SENDING HIM STUMBLING FORWARD! )

Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL! CAROLINE NOT EVEN WAITING FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS ENTRANCE ALREADY WAILING ON HIM WITH A CHAIR! Telling the backstage hands to clear out the way, CAROLINE TOSSING VINCENT FACE FIRST INTO THE TV BACK THERE! THOSE FLATSCREENS ARE EXPENSIVE! 

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think she cares about the TVs, grabbing Vincent by the hair about to send him over the monitors— BUT VINCENT REVERSES IT! SENDING CAROLINE FLYING OVER MONIT—

( Due to Caroline hitting the buttons, the screen flashes to an advertisement for a Chinese soap opera that airs right after this Marquee Event. After a couple seconds, the feed cuts back to the show where Vincent and Caroline were now fighting backstage! ) 

Eve: Alright are we back? I think we are back! These two are ruining everything and it hasn’t even been a couple minutes. If anything, they haven’t even entered the arena yet! Do these two hate each other this much? 

Deadprez: They sure as hell are fighting like it! Vincent taking control, leveling Caroline with forearms sending her tumbling against the production crate! Trying to take advantage— BUT CAROLINE GRABS HIS HEAD AND SLAMS THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD AGAINST IT! AGAIN! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! CAROLINE IS RUTHLESS, SWITCHING SPOTS WITH HIM AND PUSHING HIM AGAINST THE CRATE TRYING TO GOUGE OUT HIS EYES!

Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT IS SCREAMING! HE’S ABOUT TO LOSE HIS EYES— WAIT! VINCENT LIFTING CAROLINE UP AND CHARGING FORWARD THROUGH A DOOR! THEY WENT STRAIGHT INTO A CLEANING SUPPLY CLOSET! 

Eve: Both of them trying to get their bearings, both now realizing where they were! CAROLINE KICKING VINCENT IN THE FACE AND GOING TO GRAB THE BLEACH! VINCENT GRABBING CAROLINE PUTTING HER IN A CHOKE HOLD TRYING TO CHOKE HER OUT! HE’S PULLING HER BACK OUT OF THE CLOSET! CAROLINE STRUGGLING TO— OPEN THE BLEACH?!

Deadprez: LOOKS LIKE THE CHILD SAFETY CAP IS SCREWING CAROLINE OVER! HOWEVER SHE MANAGES TO GET IT—

( # SPLASH! )

Gavin Kirkland: BLEACH STRAIGHT TO THE EYES OF VINCENT! SENDING HIM STUMBLING BACK TO ONE KNEE GRABBING HIS FACE! CAROLINE TAKES ADVANTAGE BY KICKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND AND NOW KNEELING ON HIS NECK!

Eve: Caroline is now trying to…open Vincent’s mouth?! Oh god don’t tell me she’s about to do what I think she is!?

Deadprez: SHE’S ABOUT TO GIVE VINCENT SOMETHING TO DRINK! SHE’S POURING THE BLEACH INTO VINCENT’S MOUTH! THAT COULD KILL HIM! VINCENT THANKFULLY FIGHTING CAROLINE OFF OF HIM BEFORE HE COULD CONSUME MORE BUT IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE! 

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent has essentially been poisoned and it looks like he is trying to get rid of it! Sticking his fingers down his throat and…PASSING UP SOME OF IT! THE IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING ALREADY AND WE HAVEN’T SEEN A DROP OF BLOOD IN SIGHT! 

Eve: Vincent vision got to be looping after all that vomiting— BUT HE SHOULD WATCH OUT! CAROLINE THROWS A VACUUM CLEANER AT VINCENT’S HEAD! LUCKLY HE WAS ABLE TO DUCK IT! MONDRIAN IS NOW RETREATING FURTHER DOWN THE ARENA! I’d like to note to the people watching at home that this match hasn’t officially started. These two are legit trying to kill each other! 

( As Caroline goes to hunt down Vincent, she stops and looks at a fire axe behind glass. Without a second thought, she PUNCHES her hand through the glass and grabs the AXE! Marching forward as she goes to find Vincent! )

Deadprez: Oh she is for sure trying to kill Vincent! They are going over to the EAW VIP fan access area! That’s where fans can take photos and get autographs from their favorite stars for the low price of 1,500 dollars!

Gavin Kirkland: Don’t forget to mention the museum.

Eve: And the museum, where it seems like Caroline has found Vincent wandering into! All these precious memories from EAW past the need to be careful in— LOOK OUT! VINCENT OUT OF NOWHERE SMACKS CAROLINE ACROSS THE FACE WITH A GUN?! WHERE THE HELL DID HE GET THAT?!

Deadprez: It’s not just any gun, it’s the same gun used in the FIRST Pain for Pride match in 2008! I remember that moment, because I was there!

Gavin Kirkland: …Is that real? 

Eve: EAW is a weird company but it is also a brutal one! Caroline on the ground trying to reach for her fire axe but Vincent steps in her HAND! NOW USING HIS OTHER FOOT TO STOMP ON HER HEAD! REPEATEDLY! VINCENT IS TRYING TO BREAK HER FACE AND CAROLINE USING HER HAND TO PUSH HIS FOOT AWAY MAKING HIM LOSE BALANCE AND STUMBLE OVER!

Deadprez: That gave her the room she needed! She grabs the axe and IS FULLY INTENT ON USING IT! SWINGING AT VINCENT— HE DUCKS AND IT GOES STRAIGHT INTO THAT ROAD TO REDEMPTION 2011 POSTER! THAT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES! VINCENT KICKING HER HER IN THE CHEST SENDING HER BACKWARDS INTO A DISPLAY CASE—

Gavin Kirkland: of a sock.

Eve: …

Deadprez: …

Gavin Kirkland: That’s funny, why would they have a sock on display? That’s so weird! Anyway, it looks like Vincent has disarmed Caroline and now back to using those FISTS! EXCHANGING PUNCHES UNTIL THE BOTH END UP IN A PHOTO BOOTH! IT SEEMS TO BE SNAPPING PICTURES!

( Photos starts printing out: ONE OF CAROLINE HEADBUTTING VINCENT, ANOTHER OF VINCENT BITING HER FINGERS, ANOTHER ONE WITH VINCENT FACE SMASHED AGAINST THE CAMERA…and one that looked somewhat normal. ) 

Eve: Caroline is sent tumbling out of the booth and now it seems like she is the one on the retreat from Vincent. But Mondrian isn’t about to let her escape that easily, he’s giving chest to Caroline! I hope out camera man can keep up with them.

( The camera follows as Vincent and Caroline crash through the museum’s exit doors, bursting into the cold night air of the Shanghai Stadium parking lot. Fans who had been lingering outside scramble out of the way as security shouts for them to move back. )

Deadprez: HERE WE GO! THEY’VE TAKEN IT TO THE PARKING LOT! YOU KNOW THIS IS ABOUT TO GET REAL UGLY, REAL FAST!

Eve: Vincent grabs Caroline by the hair— BUT CAROLINE DROPS TO A KNEE AND RAMS HER FOREARM INTO HIS GROIN! OH MY GOD! SHE’S TAKEN HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES! Caroline scrambles, eyes darting before she spots a tire iron on the hood of a nearby car! She snatches it up and CRACKS Vincent right in the shoulder! 

Gavin Kirkland: HOLY— SHE’S SWINGING LIKE SHE’S TRYING TO SPLIT FIREWOOD! ANOTHER SHOT TO THE RIBS! ANOTHER TO THE BACK! VINCENT’S WRITHING ON THE ASPHALT!

Deadprez: Caroline’s not done— OH GOD! SHE JUST JAMMED THE TIRE IRON INTO HIS THROAT AND IS PUSHING DOWN! SHE’S TRYING TO CUT OFF HIS AIR SUPPLY!

Eve: Vincent’s gasping for air but he manages to roll under the car! Caroline tries to follow— BUT VINCENT KICKS UPWARD, CONNECTING WITH HER FACE FROM UNDER THE CHASSIS! Vincent scrambles to his feet, wheezing, but finds a shopping cart full of stage equipment cases and lighting gels! HE SLAMS IT RIGHT INTO CAROLINE! Sending her tumbling across the hood of a parked car! 

Deadprez: CAROLINE JUST BOUNCED OFF THAT HOOD LIKE A RAGDOLL! THE CAR’S ALARM IS SCREAMING, THE FANS ARE SCREAMING— IT’S CHAOS OUT HERE!

Gavin Kirkland: And Vincent’s got her…HE’S POPPING THE TRUNK! WHAT IS HE— OH HE JUST YANKED OUT A CAR BATTERY!

Eve: HE’S SWINGING THAT THING LIKE A WEAPON! BUT CAROLINE DUCKS— SHE PICKS UP A TRAFFIC CONE AND HURLS IT AT HIS FACE! HE’S STUNNED! Caroline grabs Vincent and SLAMS him headfirst into the side mirror of the car! The glass shatters everywhere! She now is hooking him by the tights and CATAPULTS him into the windshield!

Deadprez: THE WINDSHIELD NOT GIVING IN BUT IT IS CRACKED AND I AM SURE SO IS VINCENT’S BODY AFTER THAT IMPACT! 

Eve: And Caroline’s climbing the hood! What the hell is she thinking?!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE LEAPS— DIVING DOUBLE STOMP TO THE BODY OF VINCENT MODRIAN GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD! THE GLASS JUST EXPLODED! 

( Security is now yelling at fans to keep further back as debris scatters across the asphalt. Caroline rolls off the hood, blood starting to show on her arms from the shattered glass. )

Eve: Caroline is cut up badly there but it can’t be any worse than Vincent, Caroline might have to get an official or someone to call off this match cause it’s no way it’s getting back to the arena not after everything they have done thus far. 

Deadprez: …I think Caroline found a way to end this match, grabbing a gasoline canister and a box of matches! I think he wants to set Vincent on fire in that car!?

Gavin Kirkland: I mean obviously, what else would you do with that combination?! Caroline heading back to the car and— VINCENT ISN’T THERE?! It looks like he crawled out, the door is open!

( Caroline noticed a trail of blood and started following it. Noticing it leads to the back of the car— ) 

Eve: VINCENT POPS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND GRABS CAROLINE! PULLING HER IN AND BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HER! VINCENT GETTING OUT OF THE TRUNK AND NOW CLOSING IT! TRAPPING CAROLINE IN! VINCENT WITH A SMILE WHAT DOES HE GOT PLANNED?!

Deadprez: It seems like he got…the keys to the car?! Who the hell leaves their keys just laying in the car? Vincent doesn’t seem to care, getting into the car and starting it up. It seems like he’s about to take Caroline on a little drive! Where could he be going?

( Vincent waves down the camera man and as soon as she gets closer, he grabs the camera and begins to drift off. )

Gavin Kirkland: Guess we are coming with him, Vincent isn’t driving away from the arena! He’s driving towards it! It seems like he’s pulling through the entrance way into the arena! MY GOODNESS THEY ARE FINALLY BRINGING THE FIGHT IN THE ARENA! 

Eve: LOOK!

( “Lacrimosa (Epic Remix)” by Samuel Kim plays, the camera shows Vincent Mondrian driving the beat up car into the arena honking the horn as the crowd cheers at the sequence. He parks right beside the ramp, steps out with a sick grin, and walks over to the trunk. The entire audience is on their feet in anticipation. )

Deadprez: HERE WE GO! HE’S POPPING THE TRUNK— AND THERE’S CAROLINE! SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S READY TO RIP HIS FACE OFF! Caroline lunges out of the trunk swinging wildly, catching Vincent with a stiff right hand that sends him stumbling into the hood! She tackles him onto the hood of the car, fists flying! Vincent shoves her off, but Caroline immediately yanks him forward and SMASHES his face against the broken windshield frame! 

Eve: That’s glass in his skin again! Caroline is unloading, but Vincent with a BACK ELBOW TO THE NOSE cuts her off!

Gavin Kirkland: HE JUST HOOKED HER BY THE ARM— HIP TOSS ONTO THE HOOD! I THINK THE METAL JUST DENTED UNDER HER WEIGHT! Vincent NOW hauls her off the hood and carries her down the ramp! He needs to get her in the ring for this match to start! 

Eve: VINCENT IS AT RINGSIDE BUT BE TAKES THE MOMENT TO DROP HER SPINE FIRST IN ONTO THE STEEL STEP! 

Deadprez: Now he seems to be ready, tossing her under the bottom rope into the ring. Vincent climbs in after her! THIS MATCH HAS NOW BEGAN OFFICIALLY!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Deadprez: And here we go! The bell has finally rung, but you can bet the damage is already done!

Eve: Vincent wastes no time he mounts Caroline immediately and starts HAMMERING down with clubbing forearms! This is that brawler in Vincent, pure rage and blunt force! Punishing Caroline with all his might!

Gavin Kirkland: He’s trying to knock her clean out before she can even get her bearings after all that insanity throughout the arena!

Deadprez: Caroline rolls through, kicking Vincent off! She scrambles to her knees, but Vincent barrels forward— OH! Caroline sidesteps and uses his momentum to send him shoulder-first into the ring post!

Eve: Great counter! Now she’s rolling out of the ring! She’s looking under the apron!

Gavin Kirkland: There can be anything under that ring, I don’t know why EAW puts half the shit they do under there but it makes for great entertainment! It looks like she’s got a CHAIN! A thick, rusted steel chain!

Deadprez: Caroline slides back in AND SHE IMMEDIATELY WRAPS THAT CHAIN AROUND VINCENT’S THROAT and PULLS BACK with all her might! She’s got her knee jammed between his shoulder blades! Mondrian is choking, he’s scratching and clawing at the chain but it doesn’t seem like he can get anything! 

Eve: Vincent’s face is turning red, maybe even purple! Vincent is fading fast and this match might be over before it even began— 

Gavin Kirkland: I WOULDN’T COUNT OUT VINCENT OUT LIKE THAT! LOOK AT THIS! Vincent manages to grab the chain, powers to his feet! he WHIPS his head backward into her jaw! Caroline stumbles back and Vincent rips the chain free! Now he’s got the chain! Vincent wraps it around his fist and DECKS Caroline right between the eyes!

Eve: Caroline drops to her knees! Vincent showed so much resilience throughout this altercation! He’s looking for another chain-wrapped punch! 

( # CRACK! )

Deadprez: NAILS HER AGAIN! BUT HE IS FAR FROM DONE GOING FOR ANOTHER! 

( # CRACK ) 

Gavin Kirkland: Caroline’s busted open already, that crimson pouring down her face! Vincent drags her up, hooks her— SNAP SUPLEX ONTO THE CHAIN! Caroline’s spine landed right across that steel! He’s not letting up, Vincent’s now dragging her toward the corner, chain taking back into his hand. What is this psychopath thinking?

Eve: He’s picking her up and putting her on the top rope, now threading the chain through the turnbuckle! He’s making a loop around her foot— OH HE’S TRYING TO HANG HER UPSIDE DOWN IN THE TREE OF WOE WITH THE CHAIN! 

Deadprez: Caroline’s struggling, kicking, but Vincent’s got her legs hooked— SHE’S TRAPPED, HER FOOT ARE TIED! She’s upside down at the mercy of Vincent, blood dripping toward the mat! HERE COMES VINCENT—

Gavin Kirkland: RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! CAROLINE TAKING ALL OF THAT AND IS SLUMPED! VINCENT DOESN’T CARE THOUGH! STOMPING HER OUT AIMING DIRECTLY AT HER FACE! VINCENT IS  SHOWING OUT TONIGHT!

Eve: It seems like now Vincent is finally untangling Caroline from the chain, he is going to need her to be on the mat if he wants to pin her— WAIT A SECOND HE ISN’T DONE PUTTING HER THROUGH MORE PAIN! VINCENT DRAGGING HER TO THE OUTSIDE! He’s not done, not by a long shot! He wants to make sure Caroline remembers his name!

Gavin Kirkland: He’s got her by the hair, yanking her toward the announce desk! Oh no, don’t tell me—

Eve: OH YES, TELL ME! He SLAMS her face-first onto the desk! Again! AGAIN! Blood smearing across our notes! I CAN’T READ ANY OF THIS! Vincent cleared off our desk monitors, papers, everything flying! He lifts Caroline up— 

Deadprez: LOOK OUT! POWERBOMB ONTO THE EDGE OF THE TABLE! HER BACK JUST BENT IN HALF! She’s writhing in agony but Vincent again isn’t finished inflicting pain upon her and immediately grabs a steel chair from time keepers nest! Caroline completely helpless to what’s coming next—

( # WHACK! )

Gavin Kirkland: A CHAIR SHOT STRAIGHT TO THE SPINE! 

( # WHACK )

Eve: ACROSS THE RIBS! He’s methodically breaking her down! Vincent now gets back into the ring with that chair, wedging it between the ropes in the corner! This never ends well! Vincent now goes back on the outside and rolls an injured Caroline back inside the ring!

Deadprez: Vincent hauls her to her feet, Caroline can barely stand after so much punishment that she has received! Vincent looking at that chair going for an Irish whip— 

Gavin Kirkland: NO! Caroline REVERSES—AND VINCENT GOES HEAD-FIRST INTO THAT WEDGED CHAIR! The sound that was made was the sound of a concussion, folks! Vincent’s managing to stay standing, staggering backwards and facing Caroline— RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM HER!

Eve: She’s not wasting time anymore, Caroline sliding out, grabbing a table from under the ring and shoving it in! Oh yeah, after everything Vincent has just done to her in this match, I expect her to get her full getback! She’s setting it up dead center in the ring, glancing at Vincent who’s still holding his head! Caroline grabbing Vincent and laying him across the table— HITTING HIM WITH A FOREARM FOR GOOD MEASURE! 

Deadprez: Caroline quickly climbs the top rope, taking quick glances behind her— BEFORE TAKING FLIGHT WITH A ASAI MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP ROPES! CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE! WOOD EXPLODES! BOTH BODIES WRECKED ON IMPACT! Caroline, laying on top of Vincent’s hooking the leg, got  the pin!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

Referee: THREEEE—

Gavin Kirkland: VINCENT MANAGING TO KICK OUT! HOW?! HOW IN THE HELL DID VINCENT KICK OUT OF THAT?! Caroline is in shock! Hell, I’m in shock!

Eve: She’s crawling away from him, looking like she’s thinking of the nastiest thing in her arsenal. She’s outside again! She’s dragging out a…oh my god, that’s a sheet of barbed wire!

Deadprez: Not just barbed wire she’s got a damn pair of wire cutters too! She’s unrolling it like she’s decorating for a holiday, only this one’s sponsored by the devil himself! She’s wrapping it around the middle ropes! Vincent’s stirring in the wreckage of that table, holding his ribs, and Caroline’s motioning for him to get up!

Gavin Kirkland: He does— AND SHE SHOTGUN DROPKICKS HIM RIGHT INTO THAT BARBED WIRE! His flesh just caught on it! Vincent’s screaming in agony, trying to push himself free, but the barbs are digging into his back and arms!

Eve: She’s not even giving him time! Caroline’s taking that chain from earlier, wrapping it around his wrist, AND SHE’S WRENCHING HIS ARM BACK THROUGH THE ROPES! His skin is scraping while the chain yanks his arm in the opposite direction! That’s hyperextension mixed with laceration! Vincent finally yanks free, blood dripping down his arm, but he’s half-hunched, gasping for breath.

Deadprez: Caroline goes and grabs the steel chair again— but she’s laying it flat on the mat and dragging Vincent toward it she hooks him— DDT ONTO THE CHAIR! HIS FOREHEAD DENTS THE STEEL!

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent’s head just split open like a ripe melon! There’s a pool forming already under his head of blood and now they are both losing blood quickly! Caroline’s now manically laughing! I think now she’s got a different idea in mind. She’s rolling out and she’s bringing in a small bag! 

Eve: Not just any bag, I know that sound…that’s thumbtacks! Thousands of them! She pours them out across the mat! Just spreading them across the ring and now, she’s pulling Vincent up by his bloody hair, hooking for a suplex—

Deadprez: But Vincent blocks it! He grabs her around the waist! OH NO! BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX AND CAROLINE LANDS BACK-FIRST IN THE TACKS! She arched up in pain, screaming, tacks sticking out of her back, her arms there are even a couple, in her cheek!

Eve: Vincent’s collapsed against the ropes, his chest heaving, blood pouring down his face, but that sadistic smirk is forming and now he’s reaching for the barbed wire again!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh, this is bad he’s wrapping it around his own forearm! You can see the blood starting to seep into the wire already but Vincent doesn’t seem to care! He stumbles over to Caroline— AND JUST STARTS RAKING THE BARBED WIRE ACROSS HER FOREHEAD!

Eve: The referee can barely watch! Caroline’s face is gushing— BUT SHE SPITS IN VINCENT FACE THE SPLIT SECOND SHE HAD! That defiance from Caroline just made Vincent just lose it! 

Gavin Kirkland: HE PULLS HER IN WITH A STUFF BARBED-WIRE COVER LARIAT SENDING HER TO THE MAT! SHE’S DOWN! HE COVERS!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

Referee: THREEEEEE!!!

Eve: NO! CAROLINE KICKS OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! BOTH OF THEM ARE RUNNING ON PURE INSTINCT AT THIS POINT! No way the human body is supposed to keep moving after this! Vincent is seething, he just grabbed Caroline by the jaw, yelling in her face, blood dripping from both of them!

Gavin Kirkland: Vincent dropping Caroline, going back to the outside what is he looking for out there? He reaches underneath the ring and pulls out…A TOOL BOX?! Oh god, what could he possibly find in there?

Deadprez: Nothing good but I guess his weapon of choice is…A PAIR OF PILLARS! THE THINGS YOU COULD DO WITH THAT, WHAT IS THIS SICK FREAK VINCENT THINKING ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING! 

Gavin Kirkland: He’s prying Caroline’s mouth open, trying to get a grip on her TOOTH!?! OH NO! NO! VINCENT NO YOU CAN’T DO THIS! TURN THE CAMERA AWAY? THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO STOP VINCENT BEFORE HE GOES THROUGH WITH IT BUT VINCENT SHOVES HIM AWAY! 

( # YANK! )

Eve: HE’S GOT IT! OH MY GOD! HE RIPS ONE OF CAROLINE’S TOOTH CLEAN OUT OF HER MOUTH! BLOOD JUST SPRAYS FROM HER MOUTH! Caroline’s SCREAMING in agony, clutching her jaw, her tooth in Vincent’s hand like some sick trophy!

Deadprez: He’s holding it up to the crowd like it’s the Stanley Cup! These people are losing their minds! Half of them are gagging, the other half seems to want some more! Caroline’s on her knees, blood pouring from her mouth— 

Gavin Kirkland: But she lunges forward with a low blow! VINCENT’S DOWN! The pliers clatter to the mat! Caroline’s wiping the blood from her mouth and SHE’S PICKING UP THE PLIERS HERSELF! This is about to get even worse! She grabs Vincent by the ear— NO WAY! NO WAY! SHE CLAMPS DOWN AND STARTS TEARING AT HIS EAR!

Eve: PART OF THE CARTILAGE JUST RIPPED LOOSE! Vincent’s clutching the side of his head in shock! Caroline’s lost it— SHE’S BITING THE SAME WOUND NOW LIKE SOME TYPE OF ANIMAL! CAROLINE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY FERAL!

Deadprez: She drags him up, still with blood running from both their faces, hooks him— FISHERMAN BUSTER INTO THE THUMBTACKS! Both of them just crumpled in the pile! This is absolute carnage. Neither one should be standing, but I think they’re still gonna keep going until one of them isn’t breathing!

( The referee is practically begging them to stop, but both are crawling through the sea of tacks like wounded animals, blood glistening under the arena lights. Vincent clutches his shredded ear, Caroline spits out more blood, their eyes locked with nothing but hatred. )

Eve: Caroline somehow is back to her knees first, grabbing Vincent by the hair again looking to deal more punishment— 

Gavin Kirkland: BUT VINCENT SHOVES A HANDFUL OF TACKS STRAIGHT INTO HER MOUTH AND HE HITS A SPINNING BACKFIST TO HER FACE WITH THE TACKS STILL IN THERE! CAROLINE SPITS OUT BLOOD AND METAL! SHE IS OUT! 

Eve: Caroline crumbles to the mat, coughing up tacks and blood BUT VINCENT ISN’T STOPPING! He’s rolling out to the apron and dragging something huge from under the ring OH MY GOD, IT’S ANOTHER TABLE! Wait, not just another table he’s grabbing lighter fluid and matches! Vincent is absolutely deranged! He’s sliding the table into the ring, setting it up near the corner…an now he’s dousing it in lighter fluid! NOW WITH THE LIGHT—

Deadprez:  THERE’S THE FLAME! THE TABLE IS ON FIRE! Vincent is about to make sure Caroline stays down permanently! Vincent grabs Caroline by her hair, blood running down both of their faces, and drags her to the corner. He’s climbing up to the top turnbuckle with her! He’s hooking her for a SUPERPLEX INTO THE FLAMES—

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE’S FIGHTING IT! SHE’S THROWING ELBOWS INTO HIS RIBS, DESPERATE! Vincent’s trying to muscle her over, lifting her up but not managing to get her foot off the top turnbuckle! 

Eve: BUT SHE BREAKS OUT OF HIS GRASP, LOOKING HIM IN THE EYES! JUST BIT DOWN ON HIS NOSE! SHE’S TEARING AT HIM LIKE A RABID DOG! VINCENT LETS OUT A SCREAM AND THEY BOTH LOSE BALANCE!!!

Deadprez: OH JESUS CHRIST! THEY BOTH FALL OFF THE ROPES GOING CRASHING THROUGH THE BURNING TABLE!!! FLAMES ERUPT, BOTH OF THEM ARE FEELING THE HEAT OF THAT FLAME SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!

Gavin Kirkland: The referee is calling for help! The ringside crew is rushing in with extinguishers, smothering the flames and putting both of them out! This is absolute chaos—

Eve: WAIT A SECOND look at the ring Caroline’s arm…her arm is draped over Vincent’s chest! THAT’S A PIN RIGHT THERE! CAROLINE IS COVERING VINCENT!

Deadprez: I think the official has just now noticed it as well sliding in, HE’S COUNTING!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

Referee: THREE!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…CAROLINE!

Eve: SHE DID IT! SHE ACTUALLY DID IT! CAROLINE WINS IN A MATCH THAT COULD HAVE ENDED HER CAREER OR EVEN WORSE HER LIFE!

Gavin Kirkland: Both of them are broken, bloodied, and burnt but somehow Caroline comes out on top! This is one of the most barbaric, insane wars I’ve ever seen in my time here in EAW and that’s saying a lot!

Deadprez: Neither of them will ever be the same after tonight. My god, what a finish.

( Caroline nor Vincent were moving, as medically came a check in the both of them. Between the blood loss and now the third degree burns on their bodies, the scene ended with them taking them both apart and onto stretchers as the show continued. ) 

(Backstage….)

(The beautiful and vivacious General Manager of Showdown, Kennedy Street dressed in red to kill for the first Brand exclusive Marquee Live Event of the year paces in her office, she has her iPhone on Face Time and looks really annoyed. Alana sits in the corner silently watching.)

Kennedy Street: Okay… I get it. But what I am wondering is this Matthew, how in the hell did you get my personal number?

Matthew Kazama: Google.

Kennedy Street: Alana, honey. Please remind me after the show to get my number unlisted and changed please.

Alana Starr: You got it, Kennie.

(The General Manager then turns back to the phone which could be seen on the screen.)

Kennedy Street: What are you doing calling me right now, you’re supposed to be in South Korea for Voltage.

Matthew Kazama: I am, we are an hour ahead, the show is going on right now, but I need to talk to you.

Kennedy Street: There is nothing to discuss, Matthew. I told you the situation here honey, Midsummer Massacre is going on right now too and my attention is on the first Marquee Live Event of the year, alright? Besides I have a huge announcement to make and you re disrupting me, so I need you to get back to your duties on Voltage.

Matthew Kazama: Look, I get you are busy, but it seems like you never have the time to  for me and quite frankly that is starting to piss me off.

(Kennedy just stops, slowly turning away from the phone toward Alana.)

https://media1.tenor.com/m/BFX0YN64xz0AAAAd/carmella-carmella-wwe.gif

Kennedy Street: Did he just tell Kennie that he’s pissed off?

Alana Starr: He sure did, Kennie.

(Kennedy Street turns back to the phone as her amber eyes narrow.)

Kennedy Street: Matthew, Kennie is going to be very clear here, do you see the concern on my face right now that you are angry? First you google my phone number which is like wrong, then you call to tell me you’re mad from South Korea of all places.

Matthew Kazama: Look, I want my opportunity and after what happened last week, that is not the way I wanted to win!

Kennedy Street: And the Louboutin’s Kennie is wearing hurts her cute wittle tootsie wootsie’s…. we ALL have problems Matthew but when you have one to discuss with me, then you come to MY office during the show, before or after.

Matthew Kazama: I mean… that’s what I am doing now.

Kennedy Street: NO SMART ASS… IN PERSON AND NOT ON FACETIME! Listen closely to me Matthew, or should I just call you Kazama like everyone else does because I know you hate that.

Matthew Kazama: I do hate that. I just want justice and –

(Kennedy quickly cuts him off.)

Kennedy Street: FINE! When you get back, you can face Caroline, Vincent, hell the whole roster and get your wish. Look, matter of fact, Kennie is going to give you an opportunity of a lifetime just because. I will give you the chance to EARN your spot in the Territorial Invasion Brand Warfare match. How does that sound, honey!?

Matthew Kazama: I like it. Done. Now one more…

(But as he is ready to speak the door opens and someone walks in, the person she has been waiting for as Kennedy turns and smiles.)

Kennedy Street: Byeeee Kaza-Matt.

Matthew Kazama: Wait I’m not do –

(CLICK)

(As Kennedy hangs up, Alana Starr stands up and the person she asked to come see her walks in.)

https://media1.tenor.com/m/9emAirU8aJsAAAAd/carmelo-hayes-stand-and-deliver.gif

Kennedy Street: Joso, welcome honey, glad you came, needed to talk to you about something very important.

(Joso is already in his ring gear, ready to compete later tonight for a chance at the Answers World Championship. He doesn’t know why he was called into the offices of Kennedy Street yet.)

Joso: Hey Kennedy.

Kennedy Street: First off, I never had the chance to say welcome to Showdown, and I know you will become an integral part of this promotion and even be a World Champion. I know that you had an incredible career on Dynasty and are not used to being anywhere else.

Joso: Yeah, that is true, but I can adjust to anyplace and anyone. I’m not worried about it. At least we don’t have a bunch of MAGA running Showdown.

Kennedy Street: Honey, Alana and I have lived most of our lives in Southern California, so you can figure out where we stand on the side of politics. Now, enough about that, Kennie wants to talk to you about something important.

Joso: I am listening.

Kennedy Street: We pride ourselves here on Showdown for being the best. We believe in the land of opportunity. We MAKE stars here on the Blue Brand, then on draft day, Dynasty and Voltage steal them. But there are times when we do the same, and that is why you are here. Kennie sees a huge future for Joso.

Joso: No cap.

Kennedy Street: Damn right, honey, no cap. Which is why something happened last year for the very first time here on the Blue Brand and we want to continue that moment heading forward in Season 19.

(Joso nods, he has an idea of what she is talking about.)

Kennedy Street: And you know very well what I am talking about because you got involved in the match last year. I am talking about Territorial Invasion and War Games. You had issues with Myles and New Eden, we appreciate the assistance even though we never needed it, and now that team I had gone to War Games and won led by Veena Adams with Bronson Daniels and Milli Banks, two thirds of them are gone to different brands.

Joso: So, what exactly are you saying, Ms. Street?

Kennedy Street: I want to give you the opportunity for the first time in your career to be the Team Captain of the Showdown War Games Team.

(You can hear the crowd cheer as Joso turns to Alana who winks and nods. He then has a smile forming on his face and looks back at the General Manager.)

Joso: Ms. Street, you got yourself a Captain.

(The two shake hands.)

Kennedy Street: Excellent! Go build that winning team honey. Good luck tonight on your match, we all know you will kill it. Joso, this is your chance to look at the Dynasty and Voltage brands, and show them why?

Joso: Joso Don’t Miss.

Kennedy Street: Exactly.

(Joso turns and walks off as both Kennedy and Alana look beaming as they are confident in the choice they made. The scene fades to the next match graphic that appears as it goes back down to ringside.)

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is a Number One Contender’s Match to determine the future challengers for the Unified EAW Tag Team Championships of the World!!!

(“24’s” by TI hits to cheers from the crowd.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first at a combined weight of 427 pounds, the tag team of Akari Kiyoko and Damien Kutcher… SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

(ShowTime makes their way down to the ring jogging around the ring and celebrating on top of the turnbuckles as the crowd goes crazy clearly favoring them in this match over the opposition.)

Eve: This team has been one of the most impressive I have seen in a long time here on Showdown. It is fitting that Showdown would produce a team called ShowTime! 

Gavin Kirkland: It makes no sense to me. I mean the real show is the one that #HashTag puts on every single week on social media. Have you seen Bridget Bridget’s Insta? She’s wild!

Deadprez: Well we are not going to be focused on that tonight. This is not about e-clout this match is all about wrestling talent and we are going to finally settle who the better team is once and for all!!!

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

Deadprez: The hell is that?

(A drone lowers onto the stage as “Betty (Get Money)!” by Yung Gravy hits to loud boos from the crowd. Soon Clayton M. Golde and Bridget Bridget come out to the stage and take selfies as Clayton is shown holding a stack of cash and counting his money as he makes his way down to the ring.)

Gina Romano: And their opponents at a combined weight of 324 pounds the team of Clayton M. Golde and Bridget Bridget… #HASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

(The crowd boos even louder as the drone follows #HashTag down to the ring and they pose in the ring for the camera.)

Gavin Kirkland: Get your phones out Eve & Dead! The show is starting! Clayton and Bridget are streaming this match live on all major platforms! This is going to be can’t miss content!!! OMG I’M SO HYPED!!!

Eve: We are really going to have to put up with Gavin’s deranged boomer rants this entire match aren’t we?

Deadprez: I fear so Eve. I fear so.


Gavin Kirkland: Boomer? Oh hell no! I am a premium subscriber to all of Bridget and Clayton’s content. That makes me a very important person and I don’t value either of your opinions.

Eve: Good to know…

(Both teams are in the ring as the drone hovers around the ring filming the match for #HashTag’s stream.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: We are underway now as it looks like Akari Kiyoko and Clayton Golde are starting things off here! As #HASHTAG’s drone flies right past my head that scared the shit out of me.

Gavin Kirkland: It’s so weird to have this drone flying around here. I’m not sure I feel comfortable being on camera like this.

Deadprez: You are always on camera, the biggest of bros. Every. Single. Week!

Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: !

Eve: This match begins as Clayton Golde rushes in wildly at Akari Kiyoko who ducks under and lifts him up into a Bodyslam! But Clayton struggles off and suddenly Damien Kutcher is in the ring and is going to attack Clayton as well! But Bridget Bridget enters the ring jumping off the top rope with a Springboard Crossbody! No! ShowTime catches her in midair and drops her with the 1D!!! Bridget just got laid out and ShowTime has taken control of this contest early on!

Deadprez: The referee is warning them to get out of the ring. They are already violating the rules! They must be enforced! 

Gavin Kirkland: I am seeing a very negative reaction to this on social media. User @ClaytonRealMan45 says that Damien Kutcher has the look of a cheater and could never pull a #HighQualityFemale like Bridget Bridget!

Eve: What kind of people do you even follow on there? Nevermind I don’t want to know. But Clayton Golde is getting back into the ring now after briefly checking on Bridget Bridget who is slowly recovering on the floor. Clayton now cautiously approaches Akari who steps backwards and tags in Damien Kutcher! Damien is in the ring now with Clayton who looks upset as he now has to deal with this much larger man.

Deadprez: “The Divine One” has arrived! Clayton immediately tries to lock up with him but Damien just shoves him back and hits a Big Boot to the chest shoving Clayton back into the corner. Clayton looks annoyed by this as he ducks under the ropes forcing Damien to back off. Clayton then comes back into the ring and paces around with Damien. Clayton rushes in with a Laria-

Eve: No! Damien sidesteps this and grabs the arm of Clayton twisting him around into an Armbar. But Clayton jumps up onto the middle rope and flips up and over to get out of the armbar! Damn I did not know Clayton had it in him! Clayton reverses the armbar now grabbing the arm of Damien and twisting it around. Good counter from Clayton. Clayton moves Damien away from the ropes but he just leaps forward doing a somersault on the mat instead to reverse the Armbar and then uses the momentum to toss Clayton across the ring with an Armdrag! 

Deadprez: Both competitors back up now as Clayton runs in but Damien jumps alongside him rolling him up from behind! But Clayton immediately kicks out getting out of that predicament in a hurry. Not even a one count from the referee. Clayton back up as he goes to lock up with Damien in the middle of the ring.  But Damien immediately steps behind him and goes into a Sleeper Hold. But Clayton thrashes and throws himself desperately into the ropes and yelling at the referee to get Damien away from him!

Clayton Golde: (off-mic) GET HIM BACK! GET HIM BACK REF! GET HIM BACK! 

Gavin Kirkland: Damn this match is insane. @BridgetBridgetClips99 just posted an insanely athletic Springboard Crossbody! Did you see that Eve?

Eve: Bro that was like three minutes ago. Are you even watching the match live?

Gavin Kirkland: I got better things to do. I’m just catching up with the highlights.

Eve: :francis: 

Deadprez: Just let him get fired. Back in the match Damien just rushed in at Clayton who side stepped him and threw him face first into the corner. Clayton then jumps up on Damien’s back from behind and drops him with a Backstabber! Clayton then gets down on the arm of Damien in the ring and lifts his legs up high before slamming them down hard into the arm of Damien repeatedly. Clayton applies an armbar on Damien to keep him grounded and tries to tear his arm right out the socket! 

Eve: But Damien is powering up and out of it! Damien with explosive force powers out and Clayton goes flying through the ropes to the outside of the ring! Clayton looks wild eyed as he pulls himself up! But wait! Damien throws himself through the ropes! Suicide Dive to the outside! Damien got all of it laying Clayton out here as the crowd is going crazy!

Bridget Bridget: (off-mic) NO! Don’t cheer for them! Cheer us! Follow us! Subscribe to me! I mean us!

Deadprez: Bridget’s freakout is only further turning the crowd against her in favor of their opponents! And now Bridget is grabbing a steel chair from the timekeeper at ringside! This might not end well for them!

Eve: But Akari Kiyoko is also grabbing a chair! He is approaching Bridget and warning her to stay away from Damien! Damien grabs Clayton and picks him back up, throwing him back into the ring! 

Gavin Kirkland: Damn. This tweet of Bridget Bridget in a bikini got nearly 500k likes! And they say she’s wearing even less in her OnlyFans! I definitely gotta save up for that…

Deadprez: Bro is not even following the match anymore… 

Eve: Damien Kutcher just threw Clayton Golde back into the ring and is going for the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Referee: THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

Deadprez: Kickout by Clayton Golde! Close call but the match continues!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh god… Oh no Eve. This isn’t good…

Eve: Do I even want to know?

Deadprez: No you don’t… Damien quickly locks in a headlock to keep Clayton grounded. But Clayton is slowly getting back up. Clayton with a thumb to the eye to get out of that scenario. But Damien rushes in! No! Clayton pulls him into a Small Package!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNN-

Eve: But Damien immediately kicks out!

Gavin Kirkland: Apparently some users on here found some old posts by Clayton Golde… Apparently he said some very misogynistic and transphobic comments like five years ago. This can’t be real tho. Maybe it’s AI?

Eve: I am not surprised to hear that Gavin. I mean have you heard the shit that Clayton says on TV on a regular basis?

Deadprez: I don’t think he watches the show Eve. Let alone this match. 

Eve: Clayton goes to tag in Bridget Bridget who now enters the match. Damien is back up but Bridget grabs him with a Side Headlock and takes him down to the mat. Damien kicks out of it back up to his feet before charging in with a Clothesline. But Bridget ducks under it and cartwheels across the ring. Damien then makes the tag in to Akari Kiyoko getting a quick breather. Akari enters the match and locks up with Bridget. Akari goes into a Headlock on Bridget but Bridget slips out of it and sweeps the leg. Bridget with an Elbow Drop to Akari! No! Akari moved. Bridget rolls out of it back up to her feet. Akari kicks her in the gut-

Deadprez: DDT connects! Akari planted Bridget on her skull and goes for the cover.

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNN-

Eve: But Bridget kicks out quickly. Akari quickly gets her into a headlock. But Bridget is already back up onto her feet and powering out of it!

Gavin Kirkland: According to @WokenessIsCancer69 Clayton was probably just joking around with his comments. Can’t anyone laugh anymore? 

Eve: :francis: Is this really relevant to what is going on?

Deadprez: No. No it is not.

Gavin Kirkland: Clayton is trending now because of it. The tweets including the screenshot of his comment has been reposted more times than the tweet of this match on the official EAW page.

Eve: Damn. People love drama frfr.

Deadprez: Bridget powers out of it and flips Akari across the ring! Akari back up as Bridget grabs him around the neck and takes him down with a Hurricanrana! Bridget makes it to the corner and tags Clayton back in. But Akari is already coming after Clayton and begins laying into him in the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: Akari coming for Clayton? Who cares? The woke mob is coming for Clayton right now Deadprez! You need to get in there and help me fight them off!!!

Deadprez: Bro are you being for real right now?

Gavin Kirkland: Apparently JK Rowling just made a tweet in support of Clayton Golde’s comments. This thing is starting to get mainstream traction. Hopefully this will convince all these crazy wokescolds to leave poor Clayton alone. I mean it was 5 years ago. He’s a different man now.

Eve: Is he really tho? 

Deadprez: Can we please focus on the match? Akari Kiyoko has Clayton Golde trapped in the corner but Clayton powers out throwing Akari across the ring. Akari back up as Clayton runs in with a Superkick! But Akari jumps over it leapfrogging in mid-air! Akari grabs the arm of Clayton and tosses him across the ring with an Arm Toss. But Clayton flips out of it and lands on his feet. Akari turns around and Clayton catches him in the jaw with a Superkick! Akari collapses down to the mat as Clayton briefly falls into his corner to recover.

(TAG!)

Eve: Bridget Bridget tags herself in to immediately go after Akari Kiyoko and take advantage of the situation! Bridget begins chopping hard into the chest of Akari and then whips him hard across the ring. Akari comes back across the ring and Bridget catches him picking him up before slamming him down hard in the middle of the ring. Bridget now going to the corner and pulls herself up to the middle rope. Akari begins to get back up as Bridget comes off with a Double Foot Stomp to the back of Akari’s neck! Bridget got all of that as she lays on top of Akari and flips him over for the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-

Deadprez: Akari kicks out! Bridget pulls Akari back up to his feet and whips him across the ring. Bridget goes for a Back Toss but Akari kicks her hard in the face! Bridget falls backwards as Akari rushes in! But Bridget catches him and drops him over the ropes. Akari lands on the ropes and falls backwards into the ring. Bridget runs past him into the ropes and comes rushing into him with a Shoulder Block!!-

Eve: But Akari catches her and lifts her up in midair! Akari spins Bridget around before slamming her down hard onto her back with a thunderous Spinebuster! Akari now with a chance to take Damien back in! He’s making his way over to Damien to make the tag! Can he make it!

Gavin Kirkland: I sure hope that Clayton’s account makes it. These social justice warriors are really coming for him. They even found his old yearbook photos from high school. Bridget Bridget’s photos before all the makeup and plastic surgery are getting leaked too. This is nasty stuff. I hope I don’t get cancelled like this some day.

Eve: If you haven’t been already… Somehow I think you will survive. But I am not sure if Akari is going to survive as he was about to tag Damien Kutcher into the match but Bridget caught him by the leg and yanked him back into the middle of the ring to trap him into an Ankle Lock!! But Akari twists it around into a Small Package! No! Akari twisted it around into his own Ankle Lock!

Deadprez: Akari has Bridget trapped and is going to force her to tap out here! Bridget is almost to the ropes!

Eve: But Akari drags her back to the center of the ring! She had almost made it but now she really is fucked! She’s going to have no choice but to tap ou-

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

Deadprez: What the hell is that noise?

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

Eve: Look! In the ring!

(Suddenly Akari looks up and notices that Clayton Golde’s drone has lowered itself into the ring and is now flying around him.)

Deadprez: What the hell? Clayton is piloting the drone into the ring during the match? This should be a disqualification!

Gavin Kirkland: Stop trying to cancel him Deadprez. He’s just trying to get a good angle of the match which is being live streamed on his channel. If EAW’s production wasn’t so trash you could watch it there but Clayton is outperforming all of them and he’s doing it out of the goodness of his heart!

Eve: I guess since he’s not using the drone as a weapon it’s technically legal. But it’s definitely a distraction as Akari just broke up the Ankle Lock! Akari lunges for the drone-

Deadprez: But the drone flies up and away quickly before Akari can snatch it! But wait look out!!!

Eve: Akari Kiyoko turns around-

Deadprez: Bridget Bridget with the Bridge-Kick out of nowhere! Bridget got all of it! She falls into the cover!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Referee: …

Referee: . . .

Referee: .. .. ..

Eve: But Damien Kutcher into the ring to break it up! Damien saves the match for his team!

Gavin Kirkland: Clayton? Clayton? Can you bring the drone back down into the ring? I can’t see what’s going on anymore… 

Eve: Bro just pick your head up from your phone and watch the match. It’s literally right in front of you. Do you know how much people would get paid to be sitting where you’re sitting? And you actually get paid to sit here…

Gavin Kirkland: Shut the fuck up Eve. You are a low value female and I am an Alpha Chad and you will address me as such.

Eve: :francis:

(Gavin laughs as he takes a picture of Eve’s outraged reaction with his phone and shares it on Instagram.)

Deadprez: He’s a lost cause. This is what happens when you engage with Clayton’s social media content. But now it looks like Clayton is about to engage with Akari as Bridget tags him back into the match after dragging Akari back to their corner. Akari really needs to get the tag to his partner as he is taking a beating here and almost lost the match to Bridget just a minute ago.

Eve: Akari is trapped in the enemy corner in a bad way as they keep beating him up and tagging each other in to take turns striking him. Things are definitely not looking good for ShowTime! 

Deadprez: Bridget Bridget picks up Akari Kiyoko high into the air as Clayton Golde runs across the ring back and forth. Clayton jumps up as Bridget tosses Akari up high and Clayton catches him with a Cutter in midair! The cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Eve: Nope. Only two! Clayton tags Bridget back in as they both hook an arm of Akari and go to hit him with a Double Team Suplex!!!-

Deadprez: But Akari flips out of it in midair and lands on Bridget’s shoulders! Akari with a sudden Hurricanrana throwing her across the ring! Bridget goes flying as Clayton whirls around but Akari hits him with a Superkick sending him flying out of the ring to the outside as Damien Kutcher holds the rope to assist! Damien back into his corner now as Akari lands on top of Bridget and clobbers her repeatedly with forearms! Akari gets back up and makes his way into the corner to make the tag in to Damien!

Eve: Damien bursts into the ring as Bridget sits up and she does not like what she sees! Damien charges in with a Running Clothesline taking her down! Bridget goes down but gets back up as Damien lifts her up and drops her with a Body Slam! Damien is rolling here and now as Clayton hops back up onto the apron and is yelling something at Damien! But Damien with a Superkick knocks him right back down off the apron to the floor! Damien then runs the ropes and flies to the outside with a Suicide Dive!!! Damien got all of it! He slides back in the ring and grabs Bridget! 

Deadprez: Damien twists Bridget around and gets her locked into The Divine Submission!!! Damien is going to force her to tap!

Gavin Kirkland: No! Don’t do it! You got this BB!

Eve: Bridget Bridget is screaming and fighting to crawl across the ring! But her hopes of a future tag title shot are fading fast! It could soon be so over!

Deadprez: Bridget makes her way towards the ropes!!! Can she reach them!

Eve: She reaches out!!!-

Deadprez: And gets a finger on the bottom rope!!!-

Gavin Kirkland: No! Damien dragged her off the rope as soon as she touched! Damien drags Bridget back to the center of the ring. This could actually be it I fear!

Eve: Bridget reaches out in desperation towards the ropes but can’t move herself! Bridget is literally crying tears of pain!

Deadprez: Bridget raises up one hand!!!-

Eve: She slams the hand down!!!-

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

Deadprez: Oh god not again!

(The drone lowers itself into the ring as Bridget grabs onto it as it hovers right in front of her.)

Clayton Golde: (off-mic) Grab on Bridget! I got you!

Gavin Kirkland: Wow! I am actually able to see the wrestlers in the ring wrestling! This is amazing! Have you ever seen a match before Deadprez?

Eve: And now Clayton is using the drone to move Bridget across the ring towards the ropes! This has to be highly illegal! The referee needs to get rid of that shit!

Deadprez: The drone has dragged Bridget across the ring to the ropes! She got her arm on the ropes and the referee called for a break! But the referee is sternly warning Clayton that his patience with these drone shenanigans is running thin!

Eve: That was such bullshit…

(Gavin continues to stream Eve’s reaction to his incel followers for clout.)

Eve: You best get that camera out my face right now.

Gavin Kirkland: :whoa: !

(A loud slapping noise is heard on commentary as Gavin goes silent for some time after whatever has occurred.)

Deadprez: Maybe now we can finally focus on the actual match… 

Eve: Damien charges in at Clayton on the apron nearly knocking him off but Clayton jumps off just in time. Clayton wanders around ringside as he backs off from both Damien & Akari who is now stalking him at ringside. Damien turns back towards Bridget and picks her up. Damien drops Bridget down with The Divine Finish!!! But he’s not covering just yet!

Deadprez: Damien picks Bridget back up and drops her again with The Divine Finish! She has to be finished for real! Damien to the cover!!!

Eve: But the drone has returned! The drone swoops down and smashes right into Damien’s head!!! Damien just got knocked the hell out by that drone!

Deadprez: Damien is confused as he didn’t even see what hit him. He’s not KO’d tho as he gets up and looks around wildly! Watch out! It’s coming in again!!

(The drone flies at full speed towards Damien Kutcher’s head-)

Eve: Wait! Damien caught the drone this time! Damien slams his head into the drone multiple times and then begins ripping it apart!

Clayton Golde: (off-mic) No! I spent my entire EAW paycheck on that! 

Deadprez: But Damien doesn’t care! He slams the drone onto the mat and begins stomping on it! Clayton Golde is flipping out at ringside! It looks like his stream has been cancelled here tonight!

Eve: Damien turns back to Bridget and covers her! She’s still knocked out and this could be it! And there is nothing to stop ShowTime from winning this match!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: …

Referee: …!

Referee: …-

Deadprez: No! Clayton Golde just jumped into the ring to break up the count! Damien had the match won! And Akari Kiyoko is not going to let this interference stand! Akari off the top rope with a double flip Moonsault coming down on top of Clayton! He just crushed him! Damien and Akari grab Clayton and run him to the ropes, throwing him out of the ring! Damien goes to grab Bridget and picks her up again!!!

Eve: THE DIVINE FINISH!!! THE THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM!!!-

Deadprez: No! Bridget somehow countered it and fell around behind Damien and rolled him up! Bridget with the steal!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Eve: No! Damien kicks out! Damien won’t let Bridget put him down with a simple roll up! 

Gavin Kirkland: Noooo… The stream is down…

Deadprez: Looks like bro is back at commentary…

Eve: I hope you learned your lesson this time. :ufdup:

Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: !

Deadprez: Damien back up as he rushes in quickly at Bridget but she rolls backwards to avoid a Shoulder Block. Damien nearly goes into the corner but Bridget rushes into him and hits a Dropkick! Bridget goes to her corner as Clayton is slowly getting back up to the apron!!!

(TAG!)

Eve: Bridget tags in Clayton who quickly runs into the ring and grabs Damien from behind! Clayton throws Damien backwards with a Bridging German Suplex!!! He bridges it into a pin!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!-

Deadprez: But Damien kicks out! Clayton stays on him stomping on his back to keep him grounded. Clayton grabs the arm of Damien, twisting it behind his back and puts pressure on the spine with his knee to force him down to the mat with force! 

Gavin Kirkland: Oh no this isn’t good! The SJWs have hacked Bridget Bridget’s OnlyFans! They are taking this too far and threatening to leak her password! She needs to change it ASAP! I mean once I get the password and download all the content…

Eve: I think she has more important things to worry about…

Deadprez: Clayton tags Bridget back in as they both lift up Damien into the air and drop him face first with a Double Flapjack. Clayton leaves the ring as Bridget lifts Damien up into the ai-

Eve: No! Damien with a Small Package out of nowhere!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!-

Deadprez: But Bridget kicks out! Both competitors back up but Damien grabs Bridget by the legs and flips her over into a Boston Crab! Bridget is trying to make it to the ropes so she doesn’t tap out!

Eve: Wait what the hell? Where is Gavin going?

Gavin Kirkland: (off-mic) Bridget! They are trying to leak your content! This is supposed to be behind a paywall! We can’t let these leeches get this for free! Piracy is wrong!

Deadprez: Bridget Bridget is in a Boston Crab screaming I don’t think she has even noticed Gavin outside the ring trying to warn her about her social media content!

Eve: Bridget is trying to get to the ropes! She is slowly crawling across the ring!

Gavin Kirkland: (off-mic) Bridget here’s your phone! You can change your password quick before these menaces destroy your e-reputation!

(Gavin Kirkland reaches into the ring holding out a phone covered in a sparkly pink case towards Bridget.)

Eve: Wait… How the hell did he get her phone?

Deadprez: I don’t even want to know. Did he have it the whole match?

Eve: But it looks like Gavin’s interference is going to save Bridget from this submission hold as she grabs onto the phone and pulls herself grabbing Gavin’s wrists to force herself towards the ropes!!

Deadprez: Bridget made it to the ropes! This is getting ridiculous how many times #HashTag has been saved from certain death by all kinds of bullshit interference! 

Gavin Kirkland: (off-mic) OMG she touched me. <3 <3 <3 I’m never washing this arm again unless it is with Bridget’s bathwater which I am saving up for! I’ll be able to afford it by the end of the season if I am smart about my purchases…

Eve: Wait! Bridget has her phone! Look out!

Deadprez: Bridget just slammed her phone hard into the head of Damien Kutcher!!! He just collapsed like a bag of rocks! Damien is out cold! The referee didn’t even see it as Bridget slips the phone into her tights! Bridget to the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!-

Eve: NOT THIS WAIIII-

Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Eve: No! Akari Kiyoko into the ring with a 450 Splash off the top landing on top of Bridget Bridget to break up the cover!

Deadprez: Did he really need to do a flip… Couldn’t he have just run into the ring to break it up and it would’ve been just as efficient?

Eve: But the aura…

Deadprez: That’s true.

Gavin Kirkland: No! Bridget! My beloved! You should have won with my help! Why is this happening?!?!

Eve: Akari grabs Bridget and pulls her up! No wait look out!

(Bridget Bridget slips her phone out of her tights and slams it into the side of Akari’s skull!!!-)

Deadprez: No! Akari caught the phone before she could hit him with it! Akari takes the phone away from Bridget!

(Bridget looks terrified as Akari holds the phone up.)

Bridget Bridget: (off-mic) No! Give it back! This is our stream!

Gavin Kirkland: Why is Akari’s ugly ass face on stream? Put Bridget back on! I’m not feeling this change in content!

(Akari Kiyoko begins talking to the stream using very offensive slurs such as “cracker” and “cisgender” causing the stream to immediately get taken down for violating Terms of Service.)

Bridget Bridget: (off-mic) NO! STOP THAT NOW! You can’t say that! That’s racist! Our ad revenue! We can’t survive another channel suspension!

Eve: But Akari doesn’t care and just laughs as he tosses Bridget her phone back. Bridget desperately begins typing as she sends appeals into various social media sites trying to save her channel!

Deadprez: But Bridget has taken her attention off the match! Akari hits her with an Enzuigiri! Bridget collapses to the mat!-

Eve: Clayton Golde is now rushing into the ring!!!

Deadprez: SPEAR!!!

Eve: Damien Kutcher just entered the ring and tore Clayton in half! Damien throws Clayton up against the ropes and hits a Cactus Clothesline sending both men flipping out of the ring to the outside! Akari and Bridget have been left alone in the ring now and things are not looking good for #HashTag!

Gavin Kirkland: What the hell? The stream is over?

(Gavin Kirkland looks up from his phone.)

Gavin Kirkland: Holy shit Eve… Did you know that there’s a match going on in the ring right now? 

Eve: :francis:

Deadprez: Damn he’s back with us… I almost preferred him existing in another world.

Eve: But Akari Kiyoko jumps onto Bridget Bridget and begins laying into her over and over with hard forearms to the back of the neck! Bridget is getting pounded and Akari just knocked her the hell out!

Deadprez: Akari pulls Bridget back up as Damien slams Clayton into the barricade outside the ring! Damien slides back into the ring! Damien picks Bridget up in the air!!!

Eve: A DIVINE PEACH DREAM!!! AKARI CONNECTS WITH PEACH DREAM BEFORE DAMIEN SLAMS HER DOWN WITH THE DIVINE SPINEBUSTER! IT’S OVER!!!

Deadprez: Damien slides out of the ring as Akari goes for the cover on Bridget!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(“24’s” by TI hits as the crowd explodes into cheers!!!)

Eve: Well it is official! We have our NEW number one contenders to the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships! And it is Akari Kiyoko and Damien Kutcher… IT IS SHOWTIME!!!

Gavin Kirkland: But the show is over Eve? They are saying the stream was taken down…

Eve: Your show is over Gavin… but the show that these millions and millions of EAW fans came to see has just begun!

Deadprez: We could be looking at the next Tag Champs! And ShowTime proved tonight that no measure of shenanigans or bullshit is enough to distract them from their goal!

Eve: #HashTag started this whole thing demanding a title shot claiming that they shouldn’t even have to face any of the other contenders. Unfortunately for them, it turns out there were indeed other worthy contenders all along! Maybe if #HashTag goes back to the drawing board and puts all of these other distractions away and focus on wrestling, next time they can get the job done!

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t even know where I will spend my money now… Do you have an OnlyFans Eve?

Eve: No.

Gavin Kirkland: :kellycry: 

Deadprez: Great match and there is more to come! This is Showdown and as we have seen so far here tonight… WE WRESTLE!!!

(The camera cuts to a “Veena Adams has great jeans” commercial.)

(The graphic for the next match appears.)

(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(“Wayfaring Stranger” by 16 Horsepower echoes throughout the arena as the lights go out, and a singular spotlight shines down on the stage area with Solomon Stane kneeling. Trixie enters the spotlight, and places a hand on his shoulder before the spotlight turns red, and fire shoots out from the sides of the stage. Solomon rises to his feet, lifting Trixie up onto his shoulder, walking down with her to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing from the City of Sin, weighing in at 266 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Trixie Stane…HE IS YOUR SAVIOR…SOLOMON STANE!

Eve: Big challenge ahead of Solomon Stane tonight, sharing a ring with two EAW Hall of Famers.

Deadprez: It’s a tall task, but a fight Solomon Stane wouldn’t have picked if he thought he wasn’t capable.

Eve: And is it bad I don’t he is either?

Deadprez: Not at all.

(“It Follows” by Cane Hill hits to a negative reaction from fans, and Xander Payne marches down to the ring, staring daggers at Stane inside the ring. Xander skips any theatrics, and seemss focused ahead of his match, ignoring any outside noise.)

Gina Romano: Hailing out of Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 255 pounds…XANDER PAYNE!!

Eve: While Solomon Stane is certainly the most physically imposing, it’s hard to say aggressive when he’s sharing a ring with Xander Payne.

Gavin Kirkland: Xander seems deadaet on winning this match, and Solomon Stane is the unlucky SOB standing in his way.

Deadprez: Whoa, don’t be so quick to call HIM the one unlucky.

(“Still D.R.E.” – Ray Mak (piano cover) cutting into “Still D.R.E.” featuring Snoop Dogg – Dr. Dre after one minute blares throughout the arena, receiving a mixed reaction from fans in attendance as Impact steps through the curtain, and marches down to the ring, staring directly at Payne and Stane in the ring, seemingly confident in his chances.)

Gina Romano: Hailing out of Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 228 pounds…HE IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION… IMPACT!!

Eve: Impact has his work cut out for him too, needing to counter Xander and Solomon’s equal aggression, along with Solomon’s size.

Gavin Kirkland: Well, if there’s one thing Impact has, it’s his smarts.

Deadprez: Which can come in useful for a match like this. Triple threats can favor the opportunists.

(The referee signals for the bell as each competitor stands in their respective corners.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: Solomon Stane, Xander Payne, Impact! The bell has rung, and we are officially underway! I am excited for what these three’ll bring to the table as each competitor slowly exits from their respective corners!

Deadprez: Who’s gonna take the first shot?

Eve: I guess it’ll be Impact! Though, not in the way you’d think as he rolls out the ring.

(Solomon Stane looks annoyed as he marches toward the ropes, staring daggers into Impact ringside, who taunts him off-mic.)

Gavin Kirkland: Smart. There’s a reason he’s an EAW Hall of Famer! There’s a reason he’s #TEN-

Deadprez: Alright, I’m gonna stop ya right there. Hop off it.

Gavin Kirkland: :kyrie:

Eve: WELL, WITH SOLOMON STANE DISTRACTED, XANDER PAYNE HAS NO PROBLEMS TAKING ADVANTAGE! ATTACKING HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK, AND CONTINUES RAPIDLY CLUBBING SOLOMON ACROSS IT AS HE LEANS UP AGAINST THOSE ROPES!

Deadprez: SOLOMON IS STUNNED, AND GETS WHIPPED OFF THE ROPES BY XANDER FOR A CLOTHESLINE-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT STANE DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A STEP-UP TOPE CON HILO ONTO IMPACT! WIPING THE HALL OF FAMER OUT!! :damn:

(Solomon pops to his feet, and let’s out a war scream, fired up as Xander Payne beckons for him back inside the ring.)

Eve: AND ITS ON AS STANE SLIDES IN! GETTING INTO A HOCKEY FIGHT WITH XANDER! CENTER OF THE RING! BOTH MEN THROWING RIGHTS!

Deadprez: XANDER GETS THE UPPER HAND WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE, AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH MORE PUNCHES TO THE FACE- BUT SOLOMON FIRES OFF WITH SOME RIGHT HANDS OF HIS OWN! NOW, ITS XANDER BEING THE ONE OVERWHELMED-

Eve: THAT IS BEFORE HE BLOCKS A RIGHT HAND ATTEMPT BY SOLOMON, AND DELIVERS ONE OF HIS OWN! SOLOMON STAGGERS BACK, AND SEEMS TO FALTER A BIT AS XANDER GRABS HOLD OF HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: THROAT THRUST! SOLOMON EXPLODED WITH A THROAT THRIST 

Deadprez: XANDER PAYNE STAGGERS A BIT BEFORE GOING TO RESPOND WITH A RIGHT HAND- HOWEVER, SOLOMON STANE CAUGHT HIM! STANE GRABBED HIM BY THE THROAT, AND GOES TO HOIST UP XANDER FOR THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH!! :lupe:

Eve: BUT PAYNE LEAPED OUT OF REACH, AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! SOLOMON TURNS AROUND INTO A KICK TO THE GUT, AND XANDER TRIED TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH A STUNNER!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT A SHORTENED VERSION OF THE “PAYNEMAKER” CANT CONNECT AS SOLOMON STANE SHOVES HIM OFF, AND TOWARD THE ROPES! WHERE IMPACT WAS TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP ON THE APRON, BUT GETS KNOCKED OFF WITH A RIGHT HAND!

(Xander remembers that Solomon Stane is behind him, and takes a deep breath before spinning around to charge.)

Deadprez: OOH! XANDER RAN RIGHT INTO A CLOTHESLINE FROM SOLOMON STANE, AND QUICKLY SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE STAGGERING BACK INTO THE CORNER! STANE THEN LINES HIM UP FOR A RUNNING CORNER BACK ELBOW, AND TRANSITIONS INTO A JUMPING TWISTING ENZIGURI!

Eve: XANDER GOT CAUGHT FLUSH AS HE’S ON WOBBLY LEGS IN THE CORNER BEFORE STUMBLING OUT INTO THE CLUTCHES OF STANE! SOLOMON GRABS HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK- BUT XANDER TWIRLS OUT OF IT!

Gavin Kirkland: STANE TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT XANDER CAUGHT HIM IN POSITION FOR A URANAGE!

Deadprez: WAIT, NO! SOLOMON STANE ELBOWS HIS WAY OUT OF IT AS XANDER STAGGERS BACK SLIGHTLY, AND GETS PULLED IN BETWEEN SOLOMON’S LEGS! STANE HOISTS HIM UP FOR SANITY’S SAKE-

Eve: BUT IMPACT! IMPACT ACTUALLY MAKES THE SAVE FOR XANDER, PULLING HIM OFF SOLOMON’S SHOULDER!

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON SPINS AROUND, AND INTO A KICK TO THE GUT BY IMPACT! DOUBLING HIM OVER!

(Impact looks to Xander, and gestures they work together briefly before hooking Solomon up for a suplex. Reluctantly, Xander decides to join in too.)

Eve: UH-OH! DOUBLE SUPLEX BY IMPACT AND XANDER PAYNE… WAS ATTEMPTED! BUT SOLOMON STANE SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM ON BOTH MEN, DELIVERING A DOUBLE SUPLEX OF HIS OWN! TWO-FOR-ONE SPECIAL!

Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS OUT OF THE RING WHILE IMPACT CRAWLS OVER TO, AND PULLS HIMSELF UP IN THE CORNER! SOLOMON STANE LIFTS IMPACT TO THE TOP ROPE, AND CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE! HOOKING HIM UP FOR A SUPERPLEX!

Eve: BUT IMPACT BLOCKS IT! HANGING ON TO THE TOP ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE WITH HIS FREE HAND, AND XANDER! XANDER PAYNE COMES FROM BEHIND, AND PICKS SOLOMON OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT’S IMPACT THINKING AS HE PERCHES HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE…

Deadprez: …DIVING BLOCKBUSTER! IMPACT WITH A DIVING BLOCKBUSTER ONTO SOLOMON AS XANDER PERFORMED AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP!

Eve: RARE COHESION BETWEEN THE HALL OF FAMERS AS IMPACT TRIES CRAWLING INTO THE COVER!

(Suddenly, Impact stops in his tracks…)

(Noticing Xander Payne thinking the same thing on opposite side to Solomon with the two locking eyes.)

Deadprez: I guess both men were thinking the same thing.

Gavin Kirkland: But as we know, there can only be one winner, and neither Xander or Impact plan for that to be anyone but themselves!

(Xander and Impact slowly rise back to their feet; not breaking eye contact, and the intensity from both men is enough to get the crowd hyped, knowing what’s coming next.)

Eve: XANDER DRAGS SOLOMON BACK TO HIS FEET, AND ROUGHLY SENDS HIM OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! NOW, TURNING HIS ATTENTION BACK TO IMPACT!

(Xander marches to Impact in the center, and the two begin butting heads before-)

Deadprez: IMPACT TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM! BUT IT BARELY HAD ANY EFFECT ON XANDER, WHO RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! FOREARM FROM XANDER! FOREARM FROM IMPACT!

Eve: XANDER! IMPACT! XANDER! IMPACT! XANDER! IMPACT! XANDER! IMPACT- WAIT, IMPACT DELIVERS A FLURRY OF FOREARMS! STUNNING XANDER IN THE MIDDLE BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE ROPES!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT GETS INTERCEPTED WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW BY XANDER! IMPACT IMMEDIATELY POPS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND FLOORS HIS OPPONENT IN RESPONSE WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!

Deadprez: XANDER SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND GETS BACKED UP AGAINST THE ROPES WITH LOUD KNIFE EDGE CHOPS BY IMPACT! IRISH WHIP OFF THE ROPES- BUT XANDER PAYNE REVERSES IT! SENDING IMPACT TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!

Eve: IMPACT SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A MOONSAULT PRESS ONTO XANDER! BUT PAYNE DUCKS UNDERNEATH! IMPACT LANDS ON HIS FEET AS XANDER SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A… PAYNEMAKER!!

Gavin Kirkland: THE SPRINGBOARD STUNNER SENDS IMPACT STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CORNER AFTER GETTING HIS JAW JACKED, AND XANDER MARCHES OVER TO IMPACT!

Deadprez: PAYNE CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH IMPACT IN THAT CORNER, AND REIGNS DOWN WITH PUNCHES RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES AS THE CROWD CANT HELP BUT COUNT ALONG!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! …

(Xander Payne stops himself from hitting the tenth punch, and wags his finger at the crowd before-)

Eve: OH! XANDER PAYNE IS BITING THE FOREHEAD OF IMPACT! :yikes:

Deadprez: AND THERE’S NO FIVE COUNT TO STOP HIM! XANDER CAN DO THIS FOR AS LONG AS HE WANTS!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUCKILY FOR IMPACT, PAYNE DROPS DOWN OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! 

Eve: XANDER CHARGES IN- BUT IMPACT RUNS RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW, STUNNING HIM MOMENTARILY AS IMPACT HOPS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! …HOOKING XANDER UP FOR A TORNADO DDT!

Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS TO A SEATED POSITION ON THE CANVAS BEFORE IMPACT CRAWLS INTO A COVER! HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: SHOULDER UP! BUT THERES NO WASTED MOVEMENT FROM IMPACT AS HE PULLS XANDER PAYNE BACK TO HIS FEET! LIFTING HIM UP FOR “THE ABSOLUTION!”

Gavin Kirkland: BUT XANDER SLIPS BEHIND HIM, AND APPLIES A SLEEPER HOLD! SLEEPER HOLD ON IMPACT! 

Deadprez: KARL REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES, BUT HE IS SLAP DAB IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! AINT NOWHERE TO GO FROM HERE AS-

Eve: IMPACT FINDS A WAY AS HE SLIPS BEHIND XANDER FOR A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! XANDER ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, HAVING LANDED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! 

Deadprez: PAYNE STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES, FAVORING THE BACK OF HIS NECK, AND IMPACT RUSHES IN! XANDER SENDS HIM UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER TO THE OUTSIDE- OR SO HE THOUGHT AS IMPACT CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THE APRON!

Eve: XANDER TURNS AROUND, AND INTO A FOREARM FROM IMPACT! WHO PULLS XANDER IN FOR A SUPLEX! GOING TO SUPLEX HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! THIS ISNT GOOD! :roman:

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER HOLDS HIS WEIGHT DOWN! WHICH… IS A LOT IF WERE BEING HONEST! BUT ENOUGH TO BLOCK THE SUPLEX ATTEMPT FROM IMPACT!

Deadprez: XANDER GOES TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM, TRYING TO LIFT IMPACT UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE NOW! BUT CAN ONLY GET HIMSELF BEFORE IMPACT BLOCKS IT AS WELL! AGAIN, IMPACT TRIES TO SUPLEX XANDER TO THE OUTSIDE!

Eve: AND GETS HIM UP- BUT XANDER DROPS TO THE APRON! BOTH MEN FINDING THEMSELVES THERE BEFORE IMPACT DELIVERS A HARD KICK TO THE GUT!

Deadprez: XANDER DOUBLES OVER ON THE APRON, AND IMPACT PULLS HIM BETWEEN HIS LEGS! IMPACT IS EYEING THE RINGSIDE AREA, AND TRIES TO HOIST XANDER UP! 

Eve: I BELIEVE HES GOING FOR “GUNSMOKE!”  I THINK HE WANTS TO HIT THE PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON!

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO! XANDER ALREADY HAS CTE, THIS WONT DO HIM ANY GOOD! :whoa:

Eve: COUNTERED! PAYNE COUNTERED THE PILEDRIVER ATTEMPT WITH A BACK BODY DROP, AND IMPACT LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! THAT OUGHTA STING!

Deadprez: IMPACT ROLLS OFF THE APRON, AND REMAINS ON HIS FEET! STAGGERING BRIEFLY BEFORE DROPPING TO A KNEE, AND XANDER TAKES THIS MOMENT TO CATCH HIS BREATH! GETTING HIS BEARINGS TOGETHER AFTER-

Eve: SOLOMON! SOLOMON COMES OUTTA NOWHERE, HAVING SLID IN THE RING, AND BLASTED XANDER IN THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! XANDER WENT FLYING FACE FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE, AND FALLS DOWN TO THE FLOOR! CLUTCHING AT HIS MOUTH AND NOSE!

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON STANE IS BACK IN THE MATCH, AND HE DOESNT LOOK HAPPY! …granted, that’s his usual look.

Deadprez: WELL, LETS SAY HE’S MORE PISSED OFF THAN USUAL! STANE’S ON THE HUNT, AND HE DONT WANT NO BREAD, NO WATER, JUST MEAT!! 🍗

Eve: Solomon slides out underneath the bottom rope, and grabs Impact by the hair before directing him over by the apron. STANE GRIPS IMPACT BY THE THROAT, AND LIFTS HIM HIGH FOR A TRIUMPH OF TRUTH ON THE APRON!

Deadprez: BUT IMPACT CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, AND KICKS STANE AWAY WITH A BOOT! SOLOMON STAGGERS BACK SLIGHTLY, AND IMPACT BUILDS MOMENTUM ON THE APRON FOR A PENALTY KICK!

Eve: BUT STANE CATCHES IT, AND PULLS THE LEG OUT FROM UNDER IMPACT! CAUSING HIM TO THE FACEPLANT ONTO THE APRON! SOLOMON ROLLS IMPACT OFF IT, AND LIFTS HIM UP IN POSITION FOR A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB! RELEASING IMPACT ONTO THE APRON WITH IT!

Eve: KICKOUT! DESPERATION MOVE FROM XANDER, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO PUT AWAY SOLOMON STANE! WHO GOT THE SHOULDER UP, AND ALREADY BEGINS TO STIR UP TO ALL FOURS!

Deadprez: XANDER IS QUICK TO POUNCE ON SOLOMON, AND GETS HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK- BUT SOLOMON DRIVES XANDER BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER! UNLOADING WITH REPEATED SHOULDER THRUSTS INTO THE MIDSECTION!

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A CLUB TO THE BACK, AND XANDER COLLAPSES DOWN TO BOTH KNEES! SOLOMON THEN TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRAPE HIM ACROSS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND PRESSES DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF XANDER’S NECK WITH HIS FOREARM!

Eve: SOLOMON IS CHOKING XANDER ACROSS THAT MIDDLE ROPE, AND AGAIN, THERES NO FIVE COUNT! HE CAN DO THIS FOR AS LONG AS HE LIKES!

Deadprez: TRIXIE STANE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO GET APART OF THIS, SLAPPING XANDER PAYNE FROM RINGSIDE!

Persephone: I’d have her do that to me for free.

Persephone: And there he goes.

Eve: THAT SEEMED TO HAVE KNOCKED HIM LOOPY AS SOLOMON FINALLY RELENTS BEFORE DRAGGING PAYNE TO CENTER! SOLOMON HAS HIM HOOKED UP FOR A SUPLEX, AND GOES TO LIFT XANDER FOR “ODIN’S EYE!”

Gavin Kirkland: BUT XANDER TURNS IT AROUND WITH A TWISTING BRAINBUSTER! “RIPTIDE” ON SOLOMON BEFORE XANDER CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHH-

Gavin Kirkland: STILL, NEITHER MAN HAS LEFT! BUT IMPACT DROPS TO A KNEE, AND XANDER MIGHT BE REAL CLOSE TO FINDING A CRACK IN HIS ARMOR!

Deadprez: PAYNE RUNS OFF THE ROPES- AND IMPACT TRIED TO CATCH HIM OFF GUARD WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT XANDER DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND GOES TO LIFT IMPACT UP FOR THE “LA BOMBE BLEU!” MOCKING HIS OLD TAG PARTNER WITH THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB!

Eve: BUT IMPACT BLOCKS IT, HOLDING HIS WEIGHT DOWN ON XANDER, AND DROPS A 12-6 ELBOW TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK! XANDER MOVES INTO A REAR WAISTLOCK ON IMPACT, TRYING TO KEEP CONTROL OVER THIS CONTEST-

Deadprez: BUT IMPACT PERFORMS A STANDING SWITCH ON PAYNE, AND PUSHES HIM INTO SOLOMON! THE TWO KNOCK HEADS, AND SOLOMON STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH XANDER STAGGERING BACK INTO IMPACT!

Eve: IMPACT DRIVES XANDER BACK INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND CHARGES AT SOLOMON! IMPACT WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER! NOW, HE CHARGES AT XANDER IN THE OPPOSITE!

Deadprez: XANDER TRIED TO RUSH IN- BUT IMPACT GETS HIS BOOT UP! STUNNING HIM! IMPACT HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND PULLS XANDER IN FOR A TORNADO DDT!

Eve: IMPACT CONNECTED WITH THIS EARLIER, BUT GOING BACK TO WHAT WORKS DOESNT DO HIM ANY GOOD AS XANDER HAS IT SCOUTED! TOSSING IMPACT OFF MID-SPIN WITH A FREE FALL DROP!

Gavin Kirkland: LIKE A CAT, IMPACT LANDS ON HIS FEET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND BOTH XANDER AND SOLOMON SHOOT OUT THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS! GOING TO SANDWICH HIM IN BETWEEN TWO CLOTHESLINES)

Deadprez: BUT IMPACT DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND BOTH MEN CRASH INTO EACH OTHER INSTEAD WITH THE DUAL CLOTHESLINE! XANDER STAGGERS BACK, AND SO DOES SOLOMON BEFORE IMPACT SENDS XANDER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!

Eve: IMPACT SPINS AROUND AS SOLOMON STANE DASHES TOWARD HIM! BUT IMPACT LOW BRIDGES THE TOP ROPE, SENDING SOLOMON FLYING UP AND OVER TO THE OUTSIDE! 

Gavin Kirkland: BOTH XANDER AND SOLOMON RETURN TO THEIR FEET RINGSIDE WITH IMPACT SIZING THEM UP FOR A TRIANGLE CROSSBODY!! FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE ONTO BOTH MEN!!

Deadprez: IMPACT ROLLS OFF THEIR BODIES, AND TAKES A SECOND TO GET HIS WITS ABOUT HIM BEFORE ROLLING XANDER PAYNE BACK INSIDE THE RING!

Eve: IMPACT SLIDES IN AFTER HIM, AND XANDER IS ALREADY TO HIS FEET! RUNNING OFF PURE INSTINCT BEFORE HE GROGGILY WANDERS INTO A BODY SLAM! 

Deadprez: WHICH LEAVES XANDER IN PERFECT POSITIONING! CENTER OF THE RING FOR A “FLIGHT SIGHTS!”

Eve: IMPACT WENT FOR THE LIONSAULT! BUT XANDER GOT HIS KNEES UP, WHICH IMPACT WAS EXPECTING AS HE TRIES TRANSITIONING INTO THE “WALLS OF IMPACT!” HE HAS TO TURN XANDER OVER!

Deadprez: BUT ITS PROVING EASIER SAID THAN DONE AS XANDER SQUIRMS AROUND ON THE CANVAS, DOING ANYTHING TO AVOID THAT SUBMISSION HOLD! 

Gavin Kirkland: POKE IN THE EYE! POKE IN THE EYE FROM XANDER BRINGS THE “WALLS OF IMPACT” ATTEMPT TO A SCREECHING HALT AS IMPACT COVERS HIS EYE! STRUGGLING TO SEE!

Eve: AND XANDER TAKES ADVANTAGE, SENDING HIM TOWARD THE ROPES FOR A ”LAST SEDATION!” HE HIT IT!!!

Deadprez: POP-UP POWERBOMB FROM XANDER AS HE FALLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!

Eve: NO! IMPACT GOT THE SHOULDER UP, AND XANDER GOES TO INSTANTLY MAKE HIM REGRET IT! ROLLING IMPACT ONTO HIS BELLY FOR A RINGS OF SATURN! “ILLUMINATION” GETS LOCKED IN!

Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT MIGHT HAVE USED ALL HIS ENERGY TO KICKOUT! THIS WAS SMART FROM XANDER PAYNE AS THERE MIGHT BE NOTHING HE CAN DO TO GET OUT!

Deadprez: XANDER TIGHTENS HIS HOLD ON IMPACT, TRYING TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP LIKE A WILD DOG! WHICH MIGHT BE THE BEST ANALOGY FOR IMPACT, ALONG WITH EACH THESE COMPETITORS TONIGHT! REFUSING TO GIVE UP, REFUSING TO QUIT! 

Eve: IMPACT IS FADING! LOOK IN HIS EYES, HE IS FADING! SOLOMON STANE IS STILL OUT FROM THE DIVE, AND I DONT THINK HE’LL BE HERE TO SAVE IT IN TIME!

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT’S EYES ARE CLOSED! GUYS, THIS MIGHT BE IT!

Deadprez: WAIT! IMPACT GETS A SECOND WIND, ROLLING ONTO HIS BACK FOR A MAKESHIFT COVER ON XANDER!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHRRRRRRR-

Eve: KICKOUT BY XANDER, BREAKING UP “ILLUMINATION” IN THE PROCESS!! BOTH MEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET WITH IMPACT GETTING POPPED UP FOR A “LAST SEDATION!”

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT FLAILS HIS ARMS, REALIZING HE’S IN TROUBLE- BUT WAS ONLY TROLLING AS HE TURNS IT INTO A HURRICANRANA! 

Deadprez: XANDER FLIPS ONTO HIS BACK, AND RISES TO ALL FOURS WITH IMPACT PULLING HIMSELF UP IN THE CORNER! IMPACT URGES FOR XANDER BACK TO HIS FEET, AND SHOOTS OUT FROM THE CORNER!

Eve: **EVISCERATION!!**

Deadprez: HE WENT FOR IT! BUT XANDER BLOCKS IT, HOLDING HIM UP, AND IMPACT SEEMS SHOCKED AT FIRST BEFORE XANDER GOES TO TOSS HIM UP OVER HIS SHOULDER!

Eve: BUT IMPACT TURNS IT INTO A SUNSET FLIP! HOWEVER, XANDER PAYNE MAINTAINS HIS BALANCE AS SOLOMON STANE SLIDES IN THE RING!

Deadprez: STANE WALKS RIGHT INTO A MICHINOKU DRIVER WITH HIM GETTING SLAMMED DOWN ONTO IMPACT WHILE XANDER DELIVERS A SEATED SENTON DOWN ONTO HIS ABDOMEN!

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT NO DOUBT GOT THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HIM THERE WITH ALL THAT BODYWEIGHT CRASHING DOWN ON HIM!

Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS OFF IMPACT’S STOMACH, AND ROLLS OUT THE RING AS BOTH MEN WRITHE IN PAIN ON THE CANVAS!

(Xander goes digging underneath the ring skirt.)

Eve: What’s Payne got planned?

Deadprez: I DONT KNOW, BUT I LIKE IT!

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER PULLS OUT TWO STEEL CHAIRS, AND SLIDES THEM BOTH INSIDE THE RING!

Eve: THINGS ARE HEATING UP AS XANDER STANDS THEM BOTH UP IN THE RING!

(Xander stands the chairs up, and both ends of the seat are touching each other before Xander gives it a second thought, spinning the chairs around to where the rails are touching instead!)

Deadprez: OH GOD! XANDER’S TURNED THOSE TWO CHAIRS AGAINST EACH OTHER NOW, AND DRAGS UP SOLOMON STANE! XANDER HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS IN THE MIND AS HE HOOKS HIM UP FOR A “LAST SEDATION” POWERBOMB!

Eve: BUT SOLOMON HOLDS HIS WEIGHT DOWN, BLOCKING IT AS XANDER TRIES TO LIFT HIM, AND… BACK BODY DROP FROM STANE! BACK BODY DROP FROM STANE, AND XANDER LANDS BACK FIRST ONTO THOSE CHAIR RAILS!

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER’S GOING TO FEEL THAT ONE IN THE MORNING AS SOLOMON CLEARS THE CHAIRS OUT, AND GOES TO PIN PAYNE- BUT GETS ANOTHER IDEA, TURNING HIS ATTENTION OVER TO IMPACT!

Deadprez: SOLOMON STANDS IMPACT UP, AND LIFTS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER FOR “SANITY’ SAKE!” SOLOMON WALKS OVER TO XANDER, AND DRIVES IMPACT DOWN ON TOP OF HIM WITH THE DOMINATOR!

Eve: IMPACT ROLLS AWAY, CLUTCHING AT HIS RIBS WHILE SOLOMON DROPS INTO THE COVER ON PAYNE! WHO WAS NO DOUBT CRUSHED BY THAT 228 POUND FRAME OF IMPACT!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-

Deadprez: ALMOST! SOLOMON ALMOST HAD THE WIN THERE, BUT XANDER STILL HAD ENOUGH TO KICKOUT!

(Solomon rises to a knee, and starts looking up at the sky, beginning to say something off-mic…)

Eve: I believe Solomon Stane is talking to God right now, perhaps looking for guidance on what his next move may be.

Deadprez: Well, if he continues in the pattern he’s been, Solomon’s gonna leave this match victorious in no time.

Gavin Kirkland: Stane returns to his feet, and turns attention back over to Impact. Impact is still reeling after being slammed down so violently onto Xander with “Sanity’s Sake!”

Eve: Solomon pulls him up- BUT IMPACT EXPLODES WITH A FOREARM! YOU CAN TELL STANE WASN’T EXPECTING THAT AS HE TEETERS! BEFORE IMPACT CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM STRIKE!

Deadprez: IMPACT SEEMS CLOSE TO TOPPLING THE BIG MAN- BUT SOLOMON CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! SOLOMON TAKES BACK OVER AS IMPACT DOUBLES OVER, AND STANE BLASTS HIM WITH A PUNT KICK TO THE CHEST! JOLTING IMPACT BACK UPRIGHT!

Gavin Kirkland: STANE SPINS AROUND, AND DELIVERS A ROLLING ELBOW TO THE JAW OF IMPACT! WHO STRUGGLES TO STAND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET AFTERWARDS BEFORE HE’S PULLED INTO AN “ODIN’S EYE” ATTEMPT!

Eve: CAUGHT! IMPACT CAUGHT THE KNEE, AND TRIPS SOLOMON DOWN THE MAT! HOOKING BOTH LEGS, AND TRYING TO ROLL HIM OVER FOR THE WALLS! IMPACT’S TRYING TO PUT HIM IN THE WALLS!

Deadprez: “WALLS OF IMPACT” COMING UP, IF HE CAN TURN SOLOMON STANE ONTO HIS BELLY!

Eve: STANE DOESNT ALLOW HIM, SHAKING IMPACT OFF, WHO FRONT FLIPS ONTO HIS BACK AS A RESULT! BOTH MEN QUICKLY RETURN TO THEIR FEET, AND SOLOMON GRABS IMPACT BY THE THROAT! 

Deadprez: SOLOMON HOISTS HIM UP, ANDDDDD… DROPS HIM DOWN WITH THE “TRIUMPH OF TRUTH!!”

Gavin Kirkland: BUT STANE STILL HASN’T MOVED FROM A SEATED POSITION ON THE CANVAS JUST YET, AND IMMEDIATELY GETS STEAMROLLED BY XANDER WITH A RUNNING CANNONBALL SENTON!

Eve: STANE ROLLS AWAY AS XANDER GRABS A GROUNDED IMPACT BY THE WRIST, AND TRIES TO PULL HIM UP FOR THE SAITO! BUT IMPACT BLOCKS “THE DAWNBREAKER!” HEADBUTTING XANDER AS HE GOT PULLED UP!

Deadprez: BOTH MEN ARE A BIT ROCKED, WITH IMPACT UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY CAPITALIZE! BUT XANDER SHOVES HIM BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND POPS HIM UP FOR THE LAST SEDA- EVISCERATION!! EVISCERATION BY IMPACT! :damn:

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT GOT POPPED UP, BUT TURNED IT INTO EVISCERATION!! XANDER GOES DOWN, AND HE MIGHT BE OUT OF IT AS ALL IMPACT HAS TO DO IS MAKE THE COVER!

Eve: IMPACT RISES BACK TO HIS FEET, STILL GETTING HIS WITS ABOUT HIM BEFORE- SOLOMON! SOLOMON STANE COMES FROM BEHIND, AND CHUCKS IMPACT OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! 

Deadprez: SOLOMON’S GOING TO STEAL IT AS HE HOOKS THE LEG ON XANDER!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Gavin Kirkland: SHOULDER UP!

Eve: HOW??

Deadprez: SHIT, HELL IF I KNOW! BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, XANDER PAYNE STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT IN THE TANK!

(Impact breathes a slight sigh of relief as he lies prone on the canvas, having slid in the ring, but wasn’t going to make it in time to break it up.)

Eve: SOLOMON POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, BELIEVING HE HAD THE MATCH WON RIGHT THERE! IMAGINE HOW MONUMENTAL OF A VICTORY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN!

Gavin Kirkland: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, EVE! NOTHING WORTH HAVING COMES EASY! WHETHER THAT BE A WIN OVER TWO EAW HALL OF FAMERS, OR SEX WITH-

Eve: :whoa: You could’ve left it at that last part.

Deadprez: Ignore this freaky ass fool as Solomon lifts Xander Payne back to his feet. STANE HOOKS XANDER UP, AND FINALLY HITS HIM WITH “ODIN’S EYE!” WHAT A KNEE STRIKE BY SOLOMON STANE!

Eve: BUT HE HASNT FORGOTTEN ABOUT IMPACT EITHER! IMPACT HAS RISEN TO ALL FOURS, AND GETS DRAGGED TO HIS FEET BY SOLOMON FOR SOMETHING HUGE TOO- BUT IMPACT EXPLODES WITH THE ”FIST OF FURY!”

Gavin Kirkland: KNOCKOUT PUNCH BY IMPACT BEFORE STUMBLING BACK, AND DROPPING TO A KNEE IN THE CORNER AS SOLOMON STANE TIMBERS OVER! BUT WAIT! HE FELL ON TOP OF XANDER!

Deadprez: STANE MIGHT HAVE JUST LUCKED HIS WAY INTO SUCCESS AS THE REFEREE BEGINS COUNTING!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-

Eve: XANDER! XANDER TURNS IT AROUND, ROLLING STANE ONTO BOTH SHOULDERS WITH A CRUCIFIX PIN!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-

Eve: IMPACT FLIES IN WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO BREAK THINGS UP!

(Impact rolls away from Xander, who rolls away from Solomon, and Solomon lies prone on the canvas, still reeling from that “Fist of Fury” by Impact. However, both Impact and Xander begin stirring on the canvas.)

Eve: I MEAN, ITS OVER YET, BUT WHAT A MATCH! THESE THREE HAVE BEEN TAKING EACH OTHER TO HELL IN BACK! DESPERATE TO A SCORE A VICTORY OVER THE OTHER!

Deadprez: AND EACH HAVE COME CLOSE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! XANDER AND SOLOMON BOTH ALMOST DOING SO OFF IMPACT’S OWN WORK!

(Xander and Karl notice each other while getting to both their knees, and crawl over with intensity in their eyes.)

Gavin Kirkland: BOTH XANDER PAYNE AND IMPACT SIZING EACH OTHER UP AS THEY’RE BOTH ON THEIR KNEES! AND IMPACT TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM! FOREARM IN RESPONSE FROM XANDER!

Eve: FOREARM BY IMPACT! FOREARM BY XANDER! IMPACT! XANDER! IMPACT! XANDER! BOTH MEN MAKE IT BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND IMPACT GETS ANOTHER FOREARM STRIKE OFF ON PAYNE!

Deadprez: SOLOMON! SOLOMON GETS IN ON THE ACTION, MARCHING TOWARDS IMPACT, AND HITTING HIM WITH A FOREARM! HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A FOREARM ONTO XANDER!

Gavin Kirkland: AND SPINS BACK AROUND TO DELIVER ANOTHER ON IMPACT! FOREARM ON XANDER FOLLOWS IT, AND SOLOMON STANE SPINS BACK TOWARD IMPACT- BUT LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION ON XANDER’S FACE! 

Eve: i DONT THINK THAT LAST SHOT HURT HIM! IT MORE SO FIRED HIM UP, SOMETHING I DONT THINK STANE HAS NOTICED YET AS HE DELIVERS A FOREARM ON IMPACT!

Deadprez: BUT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE FIRED IMPACT UP TOO! AGAIN, SOMETHING SOLOMON STANE HAS NOT NOTICED AS HE TURNS BACK AROUND TO HIT A FOREARM ON XANDER!

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER ISNT PHASED FROM IT, AND SOLOMON STANE NOTICES THIS TIME BEFORE TURNING TO HIT A FOREARM ON IMPACT! BUT IMPACT ISNT PHASED FROM IT EITHER!

Eve: I THINK THE SITUATION IS STARTING TO DAWN ON SOLOMON AS HE GETS SHOVED BY IMPACT INTO XANDER!

Deadprez: XANDER SPINS SOLOMON AROUND, AND CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM THAT SENDS HIM INTO IMPACT FOR A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! THESE TWO ARE PLAYING RACKETBALL, GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH SOLOMON TO DELIVER FOREARMS!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT SWITCHES THINGS UP WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! AND XANDER FOLLOWS SUIT WITH SOLOMON GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEM, GETTING CAUGHT WITH KNIFE EDGE CHOP THAT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!

Eve: IMPACT WINDS BACK FOR ANOTHER, BUT SOLOMON STANE DUCKS DOWN, COVERING UP! IMPACT FINDS A WORK AROUND TO THIS, HOWEVER, SLAPPING SOLOMON HARD ACROSS THE BACK!

Deadprez: SOLOMON ARCHES IN PAIN AS HE JOLTS BACK UPRIGHT, AND WANDERS INTO THE CLUTCHES OF XANDER PAYNE! WHO WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES FOR A “LAST SEDATION!”

Eve: XANDER PLANTS HIM CENTER OF THE RING, AND IMPACT SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR “FLIGHTS SIGHTS!”

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT HURT HIS RIBS DELIVERING THE MOVE, BUT GETS BACK TO HIS FEET- BEFORE A KICK TO THE GUT FROM XANDER PAYNE! BOTH SIDES WERE UNITED TEMPORARILY, BUT YOU HAD TO KNOW THAT WASNT GOING TO LAST!

Deadprez: XANDER GOES TO SEND IMPACT OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, WANTING SOLOMON ALL TO HIMSELF!

Eve: BUT IMPACT WONT LET THAT HAPPEN, AND COUNTERS! SENDING XANDER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE INSTEAD! HOWEVER, XANDER LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND DRAGS IMPACT OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER WHIPS IMPACT SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! HE HIT WITH SO MUCH FORCE AND MOMENTUM, IT DISLODGED THEM FROM THE RINGPOST!

(Angry, Xander starts clearing off the announce table.)

Deadprez: XANDER’S CLEARING OFF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! HE’S GOING TO PUT IMPACT OUT FOR GOOD!

Eve: XANDER PULLS IMPACT IN FOR A POWERBOMB! GOING TO SLAM HIM THROUGH WITH A “LAST SEDATION!”

Deadprez: XANDER HOISTS IMPACT UP, AND IMPACT STARTS TO BATTLE BACK WITH PUNCHES TO THE FOREHEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT FINDS HIS FOOTING ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AS XANDER FALLS BACK ONTO IT! IMPACT CONTINUES REIGNING DOWN WITH PUNCHES, AND XANDER IS LAID OUT ON THE TABLE!

(Impact steps off the announce table, and rolls back inside as Xander lies in the middle of the announce table.)

Eve: IMPACT CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE, AND- SOLOMON! SOLOMON STANE COMES FROM BEHIND, AND CROTCHES IMPACT ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! 

Deadprez: AND SOLOMON GETS IMPACT ON HIS SHOULDER, WALKING WITH HIM FROM OUT THE CORNER, AND GOING TO DRIVE IMPACT DOWN WITH A “SANITY’S SAKE!”

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT BACKFLIPS ONTO HIS FEET, AND OFF THE SHOULDER OF SOLOMON BEFORE DOUBLE LEGGING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!

Eve: IMPACT HAS BOTH LEGS HOOKED, AND ROLLS SOLOMON ONTO HIS BACK FOR THE “WALLS OF IMPACT!”

Deadprez: PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE OF SOLOMON! TRIXIE IS URGING HIM NOT TO TAP!

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON ROLLS ONTO HIS BACK, AND SHOVES IMPACT AWAY WITH BOTH FEET! IMPACT REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, AND GOES FOR A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST OF A SEATED SOLOMON!

Eve: SOLOMON LAID FLAT TO AVOID IT, AND ROLLS IMPACT UP WITH A SCHOOL BOY! BUT DOESNT HOLD IT, ROLLING IMPACT THROUGH TO HIS FEET! SOLOMON STANE SCRAMBLES TO HIS, AND GRABS IMPACT BY THE THROAT!

Deadprez: “EYES WIDE SHUT!!” IMPACT TURNED THE CHOKESLAM INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE WHILE BEING HOISTED UP!

Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT FALLS BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT, KEEPING THAT TRIANGLE CHOKE CINCHED IN! AND SOLOMON STANE IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE!

Eve: BUT LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! SOLOMON DEADLIFTS HIM UP OFF THE CANVAS, AND LAUNCHES IMPACT INTO XANDER WITH A RELEASE POWERBOMB! RIGHT AS XANDER SLID BACK INTO THE RING!

Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS BACK OUT AS SOLOMON STANE PICKS IMPACT UP! STANE’S GOING TO WRAP THIS UP WITH “APOCALYPSE OF JOHN!!”

Gavin Kirkland: BELLY-TO-BACK GTS IS BLOCKED! IMPACT CAUGHT THE KNEE, AND TRIPS STANE DOWN FOR ANOTHER “WALLS

OF IMPACT!”

Eve: BUT SOLOMON STANE IS REFUSING TO ALLOW IMPACT TO ROLL HIM OVER, AND KARL SWITCHES STRATEGY WITH A SLINGSHOT CATAPULT INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Deadprez: SOLOMON IS STUNNED AS HE STAGGERS FROM OUT THE CORNER, AND IMPACT CONNECTS WITH EVISCERATION!! :damn:

Eve: STANE IS OUT AS IMPACT MOVES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG! 

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER… IMPACT!!

(“Still D.R.E.” – Ray Mak (piano cover) plays to a mixed reaction from fans as Impact rises to his feet in the center. Meanwhile, Xander was close to breaking the pin up as he used the apron to claw up to a knee. Xander looks annoyed before sitting back down against the apron, pounding the floor in frustration.)

Eve: What a match between all three! Putting out all the stops!

Gavin Kirkland: I mean, you could have convinced me it was anybody’s ball game with the way it looked at times.

Deadprez: Each competitor definitely had a firm handle over things at times, but in the end, it’s Impact that etched out the victory!

(Impact continues celebrating in the ring as the camera fades elsewhere.)

(The Graphic for the next match appears)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Gina Romano: And it is a falls count anywhere match!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(“Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar began blaring through the speakers to loud cheers as Auburn Ware made her way out from behind the stage curtains with a smile on her face; she struck a pose on the stage before making her way down the ramp, tagging the fans as she made her way around ringside and entering the squared circle.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, weighing in at 119 pounds… she is THE PRODIGY, AUBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!

Eve: We’ve got one of the best rising stars in the company making her way out to the ring right now, and the crowd is going wild with cheers for the Prodigy!

Deadprez: We know that she’s determined to make a real mark on EAW this season, and targeting both a former Specialist’s Champion and a representative of the notorious Silas World is one hell of a way to make that statement! Oh, come on Gavin…

Gavin Kirkland: OIERGHWOIEURGHOISERHOISRHOUH

(‘Homecoming’ by Lil Uzi Vert began blaring through the speakers to deafening boos as Brianna Hill made her way out onto the center of the stage with Silas Mason flanking her with a cocky smirk on his own face. Brianna Hill basked in the boos as she made her way down the ramp, pointing at Auburn Ware in the ring as she approached and entered the ring.)

Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT! Hailing from Cancun, Mexico, weighing in at 119 pounds… she is THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN, BRIANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Eve: As ambitious as Auburn Ware is, we can’t count out the ambitions of Brianna Hill who is one of Silas World’s most ruthless members!

Deadprez: Even without her Specialist’s Championship, she’s made it clear that she’s a force to be reckoned with. Just last week, we saw her assault Auburn Ware after their interview, which spiralled into one hell of a backstage brawl!

Gavin Kirkland: WOEIRUGHWOIUERGHWOIEURGHOWIUERGHOWIUGH

Eve: Well, let’s hope Gavin stops seizing soon so he can commentate the match. Only one of these two women can win, and with no disqualifications and falls counting anywhere, it’s sure to be utter chaos!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Deadprez: And the match is underway! The Prodigy against the former Specialist’s Champion! Both wrestlers make their way out of their respective corners, sizing each other up as they know they’re going to be in for a long night tonight! Auburn Ware is at a bit of a disadvantage because she knows she’s going to have to watch over her shoulder every moment of this match, she’ll never know if Silas Mason suddenly decides to take action and interfere in the match on Brianna Hill’s behalf!

Eve: And since it’s Falls Count Anywhere, it’s not like there’s a chance that he’s going to get Brianna Hill disqualified either! It’s just a straight up disadvantage for Auburn Ware, but I’m sure that Auburn has kept that fact in mind throughout her training for this match. We know how dedicated she is to the game, so she probably has some contingency plans of her own in mind, even if they just involve beating Silas Mason up until he can’t interfere any longer!

Deadprez: They’re circling each other around… and boom, they’re getting right into it! Brianna Hill doesn’t waste any time as she immediately goes to launch a forearm smash directed right at the jaw of the Prodigy, but Auburn Ware was able to duck underneath it! She ducks her way behind Brianna Hill before grabbing Brianna’s free arm and swinging her to turn around, RIGHT into a European Uppercut that forces the former Specialist’s Champion to start staggering back from the impact! Oh hey, you’ve calmed down?

Gavin Kirkland: Sort of! I hope they don’t leave too much of a mark on each other! Brianna Hill is met with yet another European uppercut as she is forced to stagger back into the ropes, where Auburn Ware pushes her against them before executing an Irish whip to send her sprinting over to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring! Brianna Hill runs across the ring before connecting with the ropes and rebounding to head right back towards Auburn Ware with added velocity!

Eve: Auburn Ware is waiting in the center of the ring for Brianna Hill to make it back, and the moment she does she launches a spinning roundhouse kick, looking to knock the living daylights out of Brianna Hill right at the start of the match! But Brianna Hill was able to duck underneath Auburn’s maneuver this time around, continuing her run back to the original set of ropes to rebound back towards Auburn Ware, picking up even more speed as she does!

Deadprez: Auburn Ware is barely able to turn around in time just to see Brianna Hill hurtling towards her and dropping her with a Lou Thesz press, immediately bringing this match to the canvas of the squared circle with Brianna Hill up in the front mounted position! She begins raining down on Auburn Ware with furious forearms and elbow smashes, but Auburn Ware is doing everything that she can to guard against the strikes with her own arms! Brianna Hill gets frustrated with Auburn Ware’s defenses, she’s going to have to come up with a way to get past them!

Gavin Kirkland: And she raises both hands in the air, clenching them together before going for an all-out double axe handle to the face of Auburn Ware– but Auburn Ware is able to sneak herself lower, with the double axe handle landing on the canvas right above the Prodigy’s head! That seems to have hurt Brianna Hill’s hands and opens up an opportunity for Auburn Ware to capitalize by snaking her way underneath Brianna Hill’s body to free herself from the mounted position that the Lou Thesz Press got the former Specialist’s Champion into!

Eve: And now that leaves Brianna Hill vulnerable to some offensive damage by Auburn Ware, who made her way next to Brianna Hill’s legs! Before Brianna can do anything to fight back, Auburn Ware grabs a hold of the right leg of Brianna Hill and makes her way up to her feet, quickly turning herself around with Brianna’s right leg in her arms and squatting over Brianna Hill, executing a single leg Boston crab on the former Specialist’s Champion! Brianna Hill starts screaming in pain as Auburn Ware lowers herself as much as she can to increase the pressure to maximum!

Deadprez: Brianna Hill is still fresh, though, and has enough energy to start flailing her body wildly to try to get herself out of the submission hold! Auburn Ware starts to lose her grip and her stability, which is exactly what Brianna Hill needs to happen in order to effectively fight back! The single leg Boston crab only has one of Brianna’s legs trapped, and that allows for Brianna Hill to use her free leg to start kicking at the legs of Auburn Ware, trying her best to force her to fall over and release her right leg as a result! Auburn Ware is doing everything she can to withstand the pain, but Brianna’s kicks of desperation just have too much strength behind them, with the last one being able to knock Auburn Ware off balance and fall down right next to Brianna!

Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill’s leg is now freed, although I’m sure her leg and her lower back are both in a lot of pain already with that submission hold being locked in! Auburn Ware is able to get herself together quickly enough, making her way to a kneeling position as she starts to scramble back up to her feet, but Brianna Hill isn’t looking to allow Auburn Ware to continue the streak of momentum that she came across in this match! The former Specialist’s Champion immediately lunges towards the back of Auburn Ware’s head, wrapping her arms around the throat of the Prodigy and applying a sleeper hold from behind! You can see Auburn’s face suddenly light up with alarm as she feels the arms of Brianna Hill, but it’s too late as she locks in the sleeper hold and falls back with Auburn in her clutches!

Eve: Not just that, but she is able to get her legs around the midsection of Auburn Ware, getting in those leg scissors and making any form of resistance even more difficult, no matter how much a Prodigy Auburn Ware may be! That doesn’t stop Auburn Ware from struggling, though, as she tries to pry the arms of Brianna Hill off of her throat! The position Auburn is in is really disadvantageous, though, and it’s not really allowing her to get that much leverage to pull Brianna’s arms off, not to mention the fact that the oxygen is getting cut off from her brain and all of her power is being sapped away!

Deadprez: She does try flipping herself over so that she ends up in a prone position against the canvas, seeing if that can relieve some of the pressure, but Brianna Hill continues resisting her attempts to turn over at every corner! Brianna Hill is looking to get this match over quickly and Auburn Ware may actually be fading here! She stops struggling as the referee goes to check on her, but suddenly Auburn Ware gets both of her feet planted on the canvas and pushes up with them, even getting on her tippy toes… AND THAT’S ENOUGH TO LEVERAGE BRIANNA HILL’S SHOULDERS ONTO THE CANVAS! THE REFEREE STARTS COUNTING!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: Brianna Hill is forced to release the hold just to kick out of the sudden pin attempt, and that perfectly executed reversal gives Auburn Ware the chance to get out of danger and roll away from the former Specialist’s Champion, clutching at her throat in pain as she does! The Prodigy is coughing and sputtering as she tries to get the oxygen back in her brain, but she needs to create some distance between herself and Brianna Hill as she does so! Silas Mason is clapping for Brianna Hill’s offense from the outside at ringside, clearly trying to get into Auburn Ware’s head… but Auburn is doing her best to keep her focus centered on Brianna Hill alone!

Eve: Auburn Ware is able to get to the ropes and use them as leverage to stagger up, starting to recuperate after the effects of the sleeper hold! Meanwhile, Brianna Hill herself is staggering up, but thanks to the effects of the single leg Boston crab, she’s having more trouble being able to actually get up as she tries putting more pressure on her other leg to do so! She doesn’t seem to realize that Auburn Ware is measuring her up for something big here! Brianna Hill manages to make it up to her feet in the corner opposite of where the Prodigy is standing, and that’s the cue for Auburn Ware to suddenly burst out from her corner and sprint towards the former Specialist’s champion!

Deadprez: Brianna Hill looks up, but it’s not fast enough as she only realizes the moment Auburn Ware’s feet leave the canvas as she sprints over and launches herself like a human weapon towards the head of Brianna Hill, connecting with a running jumping knee strike to the cornered Butterfly Queen! That maneuver was enough to knock Brianna Hill down from the sheer impact, causing her to fall to a seated position with her back pressed up against the bottom turnbuckle of the corner! Auburn Ware looks with satisfaction at the damage before she rushes back to the corner that she left in the first place! She’s looking to follow up on the maneuver, it seems!

Gavin Kirkland: She bounces off the turnbuckles and starts running back towards Brianna Hill- WAIT, SILAS MASON JUST GRABBED HER ANKLE AS SHE STARTED TO RUN BACK TOWARDS BRIANNA! SILAS MASON JUST TRIPPED AUBURN WARE, CUTTING HER MOMENTUM OFF AS HE MADE HER FACEPLANT AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE! BRIANNA HILL SEES THIS FROM ACROSS THE RING AND GETS A SMIRK ON HER FACE, DESPITE THE DAZED POSITION THAT SHE ENDED UP IN AFTER HAVING THAT MOVE CONNECT WITH HER HEAD!

Eve: Brianna Hill forces herself to stagger up from that seated position, getting back to a standing position before going across the ring near where Auburn Ware is lying down, rubbing her jaw after experiencing that fall! Auburn Ware suddenly gets a deep scowl on her face as she realizes what just happened, and she turns her head, shooting a death glare at Silas Mason! Suddenly, Silas Mason moves out of the way as though Auburn Ware was just about to attack him; what’s he doing? WAIT, IT’S NOT AUBURN HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT, IT WAS BRIANNA HILL!

Deadprez: BRIANNA HILL LAUNCHES HERSELF AT THE FALLEN BODY OF AUBURN WARE WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK, CONNECTING RIGHT WITH THE SIDE OF AUBURN WARE’S BODY AND FORCING AUBURN WARE TO GET LAUNCHED OUT OF THE RING FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE PRODIGY JUST GOT LAUNCHED OUT AND LANDED BADLY ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Silas Mason claps for Brianna Hill in the ring, who rubs the side of her jaw with a cocky smirk on her face after she just got the better of Auburn Ware!

Gavin Kirkland: And now Brianna Hill steps out onto the apron from between the top and middle ropes, stalking Auburn Ware who is struggling to get up from the ringside floor! Auburn Ware is starting to stagger up, and Brianna Hill places one foot on the middle rope, waiting in anxious anticipation as Auburn Ware does start to get back up to her feet! The moment Auburn Ware is up, Brianna Hill gets her other foot onto the middle rope before springboarding off of it from the apron all the way down to where Auburn Ware is at ringside, connecting with a METEORA!

Eve: THAT METEORA TAKES AUBURN WARE DOWN WITH A DEVASTATING IMPACT, AND BRIANNA HILL JUST FALLS BACK ON TOP OF AUBURN WARE AND LIES DOWN ON TOP OF HER, COVERING HER FOR A PINFALL ATTEMPT OUTSIDE THE RING! REMEMBER, IT’S FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE, THEY COULD EVEN PIN EACH OTHER OUT IN THE PARKING LOT! THE REFEREE SLIDES OVER TO COUNT THE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Deadprez: BUT AUBURN WARE IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! That causes a very shocked expression to come across the faces of both Brianna Hill and Silas Mason in unison as they start to realize just how much of a threat Auburn Ware is and what it’s going to end up taking to put her down for the three count! Brianna Hill glowers down at Auburn Ware before getting up to her feet and dragging the Prodigy up with her! If Auburn Ware is going to stay in the fight, then she has to be prepared for all of the pain that’s going to ensue as a result!

Gavin Kirkland: With Auburn Ware brought back to a standing position, Brianna Hill begins to continue the punishment as she licks the back of her hand before connecting with a chop to the chest of Auburn Ware that sounded like a straight up GUNSHOT! Brianna Hill unleashes another chop with the same power, and if this keeps up she might just chop straight through Auburn Ware! Don’t do that, we need her!

Eve: Brianna Hill doesn’t seem to want to listen to you, Gavin, because she goes for yet another chop… BUT THIS TIME, AUBURN WARE CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO CONNECT! She has a hold of Brianna Hill’s arm, and she just yanks the former Specialist’s Champion towards her before spinning and connecting with the side of Brianna Hill’s head with a spinning backfist! The impact of that strike was enough to send Brianna Hill staggering back before she stumbled into the barricade, and Auburn Ware angrily stormed over to her before turning her around to have her back towards the barricade! What does she have planned here?

Deadprez: Revenge, Eve! Auburn Ware is out for revenge right now as she just starts UNLEASHING with a ruthless barrage of forearm smashes to every part of the body of the former Specialist’s Champion! Forearm smashes to the head, forearm smashes to the shoulders, forearm smashes to the arms and chest… and she finishes it off with a forearm smash right to the THROAT of Brianna Hill, leaving her coughing and sputtering just like Auburn Ware was after Brianna Hill was able to lock in that sleeper hold earlier in the match! That forearm smash to the throat has Brianna Hill staggering forward as she doubles over, clutching at her throat in pain!

Gavin Kirkland: Doubled over is just the position that Auburn Ware was looking to put Brianna Hill into, because she suddenly tucks her head underneath her arm and reaches down to grab a hold of the right leg of Brianna Hill, the same one that she was targeting earlier with that single leg Boston crab! She uses it to hoist Brianna Hill up into the air before DRIVING HER DOWN INTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A FISHERMAN’S BUSTER! FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS AND THE IMPACT OF THAT MANEUVER MAY HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO KNOCK THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN OUT, STRAIGHT UP! AUBURN KEEPS A HOLD OF THAT RIGHT LEG AND PULLS IT OVER THE BODY OF BRIANNA HILL FOR THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: BUT BRIANNA HILL IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THE PINFALL ATTEMPT! DON’T FORGET THAT DESPITE HER ATTITUDE AND ASSOCIATION WITH SILAS WORLD, BRIANNA HILL IS A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT HERSELF AND A FORMER SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION FOR A REASON! Auburn Ware grits her teeth with frustration, wiping the sweat off of her face as the burden of this match starts to set in for her. She does get back up to a standing position and starts measuring Brianna Hill up to continue the punishment, not satisfied until she is able to put the former Specialist’s champion down for the three count and secure a huge amount of momentum early on in the season! Brianna Hill slowly starts to stir, but before Auburn is able to do something… Silas Mason strikes her from behind!

Deadprez: That… didn’t seem to do too much to Auburn Ware, though! However, the look in her face did change! It went from focus and determination to pure, unadulterated rage as she slowly turns around to face Silas Mason, who suddenly puts his hands up and begs for mercy! I don’t think there’s any mercy in the eyes of Auburn Ware, though, especially considering the fact that Silas Mason has already messed with her two times in this match! OH, AND THE CHASE BEGINS! AUBURN WARE LAUNCHES A KICK AT SILAS MASON, BUT HE BACKSTEPS AND STARTS RUNNING AWAY! AND NOW AUBURN WARE IS CHASING AFTER HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: I know she’s pissed off at Silas Mason, but how wise of a strategy can this be? Brianna Hill is starting to get back to her feet, and SHE’S the actual opponent in this match! Auburn Ware isn’t going to be able to win the match just by knocking out Silas Mason!

Eve: But the fact remains that as long as Silas Mason is a presence in this match, it’s very likely that he’ll take measures to stop Auburn Ware from winning! At this point, taking Silas out is a REQUIREMENT for Auburn Ware to be able to win this match, and I think she knows that!

Deadprez: Whatever you think of this strategy, Silas Mason is sprinting up the ramp backstage, and Auburn Ware is running right behind him! Brianna Hill has staggered up to her feet and saw on the video screen what’s going on, and now SHE’S heading up the ramp as well!

(The video feed switches backstage to Gorilla Position, where Silas Mason sprints in but bumps into some staff members as he tries to flee.)

Silas Mason: GET OUT OF THE WAY! GET OUT OF THE WAY! MOVE–

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE UNANTICIPATED ROADBLOCKS ENDED UP BEING ENOUGH TO STOP SILAS MASON FOR SUFFICIENT TIME! AUBURN WARE BURST INTO THE GORILLA POSITION AND JUST DROPKICKED THE BACK OF SILAS MASON, CAUSING HIM TO FLY OVER THE TABLE AND FALLING DOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE, KNOCKING DOWN SOME COMPUTER MONITORS WITH HIM! 

Eve: And now Auburn Ware is making her way around the table, not content until Silas Mason has been utterly DECIMATED and out of this match for good! She looks down at the rubble with Silas Mason groaning in pain as he tries to crawl out of the wreckage! She sees one of the fallen computer monitors and grabs a hold of it before hoisting it up and BASHING it on the back of Silas Mason’s head! Forget knocking him out, Auburn Ware is looking to give that man a CONCUSSION! At this point, I guess you could probably say that he deserves it, but WOW what a blow!

Deadprez: Auburn Ware hoists the monitor back up, looking to double tap Silas Mason for good measure– BUT BRIANNA HILL COMES UP FROM BEHIND AND SNATCHES THE COMPUTER MONITOR OUT OF THE HANDS OF AUBURN WARE! AUBURN TURNS AROUND, BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS BRIANNA HILL SMASHES THE COMPUTER MONITOR ACROSS THE FACE OF AUBURN WARE, SHATTERING THE COMPUTER SCREEN AS SHE DOES SO! GLASS SHARDS FLY EVERYWHERE AND AUBURN’S FACE STARTS BLEEDING AS SHE FALLS DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA HILL DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG OF AUBURN WARE, GOING FOR A PIN! THE REFEREE SLIDES IN… BUT HE’S NOT COUNTING!

Brianna Hill: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! COUNT! COUNT! COUNT!

Referee: HER SHOULDER IS ON TOP OF SILAS MASON, THIS ISN’T A PIN!

Eve: Oh, bad luck for Brianna, she didn’t realize that she knocked Brianna out close enough to Silas that her shoulder ended up on top of Silas and not on the floor! Brianna may have had the match won there, but hey, I guess that’s karma for Silas interfering earlier in the first place! Brianna slaps the floor in frustration before dragging Auburn off of him and hooking the leg again!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH TIME FOR AUBURN WARE TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER CONSCIOUSNESS AND KICK OUT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! BRIANNA HILL IS INCENSED! Brianna Hill gives a harsh slap to the face of Auburn Ware, yelling at her in frustration as she starts dragging her up… that slap may have been a mistake, though, because it seems to not only have woken Auburn Ware up but gotten her just as angry! Now Auburn Ware gives a slap of her own to Brianna Hill!

Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA HILL GOES FOR A FOREARM SMASH TO RETALIATE, BUT AUBURN WARE DUCKED UNDERNEATH AND GRABBED A HOLD OF THE WAIST OF BRIANNA HILL! SHE RUSHES FORWARD, SHOVING BRIANNA BACK UNTIL HER LOWER BACK CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER NEARBY TABLE! That causes Brianna Hill to stagger forward in pain, clutching at her lower back which has already been aching since the start of the match with that single leg Boston crab! Wait, that table… isn’t that the controls for–

Eve: IT IS! AUBURN WARE HOISTS BRIANNA HILL UP FROM BEHIND WITH A REAR WAIST LOCK, EXECUTING A HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX THAT DROPS THE UPPER BACK OF BRIANNA HILL RIGHT ONTO THE PYRO TABLE–

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!)

Crowd: :damn: 

(The video feed suddenly switched to a view of the stage, where a massive ton of pyrotechnics exploded into the air in unison after Brianna’s back landed on the pyro control panel!)

Deadprez: THIS MATCH IS STARTING TO GET OUT OF HAND! How much money do you think all of those pyros going off cost?!

Gavin Kirkland: Regardless of that, Brianna Hill rolls off the table and lands on her feet, staggering back into the wall! Auburn Ware grabs a hold of Brianna’s wrist and executes an Irish whip, directed right towards the stage curtains… but Brianna Hill reverses the Irish whip, sending Auburn Ware running out back onto the stage instead! The crowd starts cheering as they spot Auburn Ware stumbling onto her hands and knees at the center of the stage! But where’s Brianna Hill?

Eve: She hasn’t left the Gorilla position yet! What’s she planning in there?! Wait, there she is! And she’s got… CABLES IN HER HAND! THOSE WIRES MUST’VE COME FROM THE COMPUTER MONITORS THAT GOT KNOCKED DOWN! BRIANNA HILL STAGGERS OVER TO WHERE AUBURN WARE IS STARTING TO GET UP, AND SHE SUDDENLY WRAPS THE CABLES AROUND THE THROAT OF AUBURN WARE AND STARTS CHOKING HER OUT WITH THEM! OH MY GOD! AUBURN WARE IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY CHOKE HERE! THOSE CABLES ARE AS TIGHT AROUND HER THROAT AS THEY CAN BE!

Deadprez: AND AUBURN WARE IS PRESSING HER LEFT LEG AGAINST THE BACK OF AUBURN WARE AS SHE PULLS BACK ON THE CABLES AROUND THE NECK! THIS MIGHT BE IT! AUBURN WARE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S STARTING TO FADE, HER EYES ARE CLOSING! THE REFEREE RUSHES OVER AND GRABS A HOLD OF HER LIMP HAND! HE RAISES IT UP… AND IT DROPS!

Gavin Kirkland: HE RAISES IT UP AGAIN… AND IT DROPS AGAIN! ONE MORE TIME AND THIS MATCH IS OVER! BRIANNA CONTINUES PULLING ON THOSE CABLES AS THE REFEREE LIFTS THE ARM ONE MORE TIME… OH, AUBURN WARE SUDDENLY KICKED BACK WITH HER LEG, KICKING AT THE LEFT LEG OF BRIANNA HILL! THAT CAUSES BRIANNA HILL TO COMPLETELY LOSE HER BALANCE AS SHE FALLS FORWARD, LOOSENING THE GRIP ON THE CABLES CHOKING OUT AUBURN WARE!

Eve: AUBURN WARE FALLS FORWARD HERSELF, AND NOW IN ADDITION TO THE BLOOD ON HER FACE FROM THE COMPUTER SCREEN SHATTERING, HER NECK HAS A BUNCH OF RED WIRE MARKS ON IT! BUT THE LOOK IN HER EYES! I’VE NEVER SEEN AUBURN WARE LOOK THIS FURIOUS BEFORE AS SHE GETS UP! SHE SNATCHES THE CABLES OUT OF BRIANNA’S HAND AS BRIANNA WAS STRUGGLING TO GET UP… IS SHE GOING TO CHOKE BRIANNA OUT TOO?!

Deadprez: BRIANNA HILL STEPS BACK ON THE STAGE WITH HER HANDS UP, BUT SUDDENLY AUBURN WARE LASHED OUT WITH THOSE CABLES, USING THEM LIKE A WHIP AS SHE STRIKES THE FACE OF BRIANNA HILL WITH THE FRAYED ENDS OF THOSE CABLES! AND ANOTHER LASH! AND A THIRD LASH! BRIANNA HILL’S OWN FACE IS CUT OPEN NOW AS SHE SUDDENLY LURCHES FORWARD AND GRABS ONTO THE CABLES… THEY’RE HAVING A TUG OF WAR OVER THEM! AND THEY KEEP GETTING CLOSER TO THE EDGE OF THE STAGE!

Gavin Kirkland: FINALLY, BRIANNA IS ABLE TO SNATCH THE CABLES AWAY, BUT AS SHE RAISES THEM UP TO STRIKE AT AUBURN WARE, AUBURN RUSHES FORWARD AND UNLEASHES A THRUST KICK TO THE CHEST OF BRIANNA HILL… BRIANNA HILL FALLS OVER THE EDGE OF THE STAGE! WAIT!

Brianna Hill: YOU’RE COMING WITH ME, YOU BITCH!

Eve: BRIANNA HILL WAS ABLE TO GRAB AUBURN’S WRIST AS SHE FELL! BOTH OF THEM FALL OFF OF THE RINGSIDE STAGE AND CRASH INTO THE SPARE TABLES NEXT TO THE STAGE! OH MY GOD!

Deadprez: THE REFEREE GETS DOWN TO THE LOWER FLOOR WHERE THE TWO LADIES FELL TO CHECK ON THEM… AND HE COUNTS THE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)

(“Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar began blaring through the speakers once again to tremendous cheers as it’s revealed that Auburn Ware landed on top of Brianna Hill, falling into a pinning position with both women knocked out. It takes a few moments for Auburn to regain consciousness as she gets helped by the referee to her feet, hearing her music and realizing that she won the match. Through all the blood and bruises, she gets that smile back on her face as she raises her arm in triumph through the exhaustion.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE PRODIGY, AUBUUUUUUUUUUUUURN! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!

Deadprez: What an absolutely HELLISH match that was!

(The video feed pans across all of the wreckage and pyro scrap from the pyro explosion before switching back to the wreckage in Gorilla position, with Silas Mason still knocked out under a pile of computer monitors.)

Eve: BOTH of these ladies brought absolutely EVERYTHING they had! This match truly could have gone either way, but at the end of the day, only one of them would have been able to come out with the victory and it was Auburn Ware in this case! Through all of the agony and exhaustion, she was able to persevere!

Gavin Kirkland: And with that, she was able to pick up a tremendous victory over a former Specialist’s champion in Brianna Hill, as well as dealing a vicious blow to the pride of Silas World as a whole! What does this mean for Silas World’s future?

Deadprez: Whatever it means for them, there’s one thing for certain! The future is looking BRIGHT for the Prodigy, Auburn Ware! Congratulations to her on a hard fought victory, with surely many more to come!

(The video feed lingers on Auburn Ware’s seemingly whimsical celebration as Brianna Hill slowly regains consciousness, looking on in disappointment as she wipes the blood off of her own face. The last scene is Auburn’s arms raised before the feed fades to black.)

(The graphics for the next match appear.)

(The camera shot has returned from the ring and Gina Romano is standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest is a special TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

Gina Romano: And the winner of this match will become the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!

(‘LIKE WEEZY’ by Playboi Carti starts to play as Joso enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. He looks ready for a fight as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From The Bronx, New York! Weighing 206 pounds! Here is “THE NOW” JOSO!!

Deadprez: Here comes Joso as he heads to the ring for this high stakes triple threat match. After last week’s ultimatum, these three are no doubt ready to beat the holy hell out of each other.

Gavin Kirkland: JOSO! DON’T! MISS! I have all the faith in the world that Joso can pull this off 

Eve: Joso is a former World Champion who would absolutely love to get back in the World Championship picture. If he gets the win, he’ll be next in line for a title shot, but he has two very determined competitors in this race as well.

(Joso enters the ring and takes a corner as his music is replaced by ‘90210’ by Travis Scott. The boos and jeers get incredibly loud when Jake Smith enters the arena. He doesn’t care what the crowd thinks because he is only thinking about becoming Number One Contender as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: Introducing his opponents! From Parts Unknown! Here is “THE PROCESS” JAKE SMITH!!

Gavin Kirkland: Jake is here and I am wondering something. His height and weight were listed information, but they have since disappeared. I wonder why. Maybe the rumors of Jake lying about his height are true. Don’t worry, Jake. Us Short Kings stick together!

Eve: That’s a story for another day. But Jake Smith is a former two-time World Champion in EAW and he would love to get a shot at making it three should he win this match. If you ask Jake, he’s already got this match in the back.

Deadprez: Jake Smith walks a fine line between confident and egotistical on a daily basis… usually on the side of being an egomaniacal jerk. But you can’t deny the talent Jake has in the ring and he’s gonna try and remind the world in this match.

(Jake enters the ring and shoots a glare towards Joso as he takes a neutral corner. Seconds later, the sounds of “New Devil” by Asking Alexandria start to play as Daryl Kinkade enters the arena to boos from the crowd, but not nearly as loud as Jake’s. Daryl is focused on one thing right now and that’s victory as he heads to the ring.)

Gina Romano: From Norwich, England! Weighing in at 225 pounds! Here is “THE KINK OF ELITE” DARYL KINKADE!!

Eve: Here comes the man who many are considering the longshot in this match considering he’s the only man in the match who has not won a World Championship in this match. I think those comments are a little uncalled for. 

Gavin Kirkland: As much as I can appreciate a person who embraces their kinkiness, Daryl does have the hardest trek to getting the title match in my opinion. That and he’s coming off a disqualification loss to Harper Lee last week.

Deadprez: Daryl has a bad attitude, but you can’t deny how hard he has been working to get back in contention for a World Championship to win the one title he has been dreaming about. But we have three very fierce competitors in the ring ready to go to war. Who will leave as the Number One Contender? We’re about to find out!

(Daryl enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as his entrance music fades off. The referee looks towards all three competitors before calling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: Here we go! This match is officially underway. The time for talk is over and we are about to see who the next challenger for the Answers World Championship will be. I expect this to be a hell of a fight between these three.

Deadprez: With all the fighting these three have done, I am surprised nobody has made a move yet, BUT THEY HAVE NOW AS THEY ALL SLIDE OUT TO THE FLOOR AND ARE ALL SEARCHING UNDER THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland: Kennedy Street said that this match has no rules. Only a pinfall or submission will end it, so I can wait to see them beat the hell out of each other. Now they have all come from under the ring with their weaponry.

Deadprez: Joso has a kendo stick while Daryl found a steel chair. Jake finally slides back into the ring with a broomstick. Why in the hell did Caroline park her broom under the ring?

Eve: We have a standoff in the ring and I am still surprised that these three aren’t ripping each other’s throats out with how much they don’t like each other–

Gavin Kirkland: JAKE WITH A BOOT TO THE STEEL CHAIR SENDING IT RIGHT BACK IN DARYL’S FACE! DARYL FALLS BACK AS JAKE STARTS KICKING HIM AND SENDING HIM BACK OUT OF THE RING! 

Eve: That leaves Joso and Jake in the ring as they have their weapons BEFORE JAKE SWINGS THE BROOMSTICK AND JOSO BLOCKS IT WITH THE KENDO STICK!

Deadprez: Joso now takes a swing at Jake AND JAKE BLOCKS WITH THE BROOMSTICK! They both keep swinging and blocking, not able to get a hit on the other!

Gavin Kirkland: I LOVE THIS!! A SWORDFIGHT AT MIDSUMMER MASSACRE!! IT’S LIKE ONE OF THEM OLD PIRATE MOVIES!! EN GUARD!

Eve: You’re an idiot! JAKE WENT FOR A CHEAP SHOT, BUT JOSO CAUGHT THE BROOMSTICK UNDER HIS ARM BEFORE PULLING IT OUT OF JAKE’S GRASP!

Deadprez: Joso now has both weapons and before Jake can even get out of the way, JOSO HITS JAKE IN THE TOP OF THE HEAD WITH THE BROOMSTICK!

Gavin Kirkland: BAHAHAHAHA THUNK!! Jake holds his head in pain before Joso hits him in the back taking him down to his knees! Joso has a smirk on his face as he still has both weapons–

Deadprez: JOSO USING THE KENDO STICK AND THE BROOM TO BEAT DOWN JAKE! LOOKS LIKE JOSO IS PERFORMING A DRUM SOLO ON JAKE! THE CROWD IS ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!

Eve: That’s because they love seeing Jake get the shit beat out of him. Joso is just having a hell of a time beating Jake with those weapons–

(CRASH!!)

Gavin Kirkland: DARYL RUINS THE IMPROMPTU CONCERT BY THROWING THE STEEL CHAIR AND CRACKING JOSO IN THE HEAD!! THAT WASN’T NICE!!

Eve: Daryl isn’t known to be nice, but he certainly made his presence felt in this match as he kicks Joso and doubles him over. Daryl hooks the arms–

Deadprez: BUTTERFLY SUPLEX BY DARYL AND JOSO LANDS SPINE FIRST ON THE STEEL CHAIR!! Ugly landing for Joso as Daryl picks him back up and tosses him to the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: Joso hits the turnbuckle AND HERE COMES DARYL WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO JOSO’S JAW! Joso comes stumbling out of the corner as Daryl has the waistlock–

Eve: DARYL WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX SENDING JOSO BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! I THINK JOSO CRACKED HIS HEAD ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT DARYL WANTS AS HE DRAGS JOSO TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!

(CRACK!)

Deadprez: JAKE SMITH BREAKS UP THE COVER WITH A KENDO STICK TO THE BACK! This type of behavior is exactly why some people call Jake the “Walking Napoleon Complex”.

Gavin Kirkland: There are no rules in this match! How in the world does participating in this match give the diagnosis of a Napoleon Complex?

Deadprez: The kendo stick shot wasn’t but grabbing Daryl by the hair and pulling him to his feet sure as hell doesn’t help his cause. Daryl is up AND JAKE FIRES A BACK ELBOW THAT SENDS DARYL STUMBLING BACK TO THE CORNER!

Eve: Jake follows Daryl and chops him across the chest before pulling Daryl out of the corner. Jake is sitting on the top turnbuckle and now he can reach items on the top shelf before he puts the kendo stick on Daryl’s neck–

Gavin Kirkland: JAKE PULLS BACK AND HE IS CHOKING DARYL WITH THE KENDO STICK!! REMEMBER! NO RULES!! JAKE CAN DO THAT AS LONG AS HE FEELS LIKE IT!! And will you stop calling Jake short? That’s how rumors get started.

Eve: Whatever. Daryl is kicking around as he tries to find a way to get free as Jake keeps leaning further back to create more pressure–

Deadprez: JOSO! JOSO ROLLED ONTO THE APRON AND HE CAUGHT JAKE IN THE HEAD WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!! THE MOVES FORCES JAKE TO LET DARYL GO AND DARYL FALL TO THE MAT HOLDING HIS THROAT IN PAIN!

Gavin Kirkland: Now what in the hell is Joso doing? Jake is falling back on the top rope as Joso uses the second rope to get closer to Jake AND JOSO PUTS HIS FOOT ON JAKE’S THROAT! JOSO IS NOW CHOKING JAKE AND THE BACK OF JAKE’S HEAD IS TOUCHING THE RINGPOST!! SOMEBODY STOP HIM!!

Eve: Remember what you said, Gavin. There are no rules. Joso can choke Jake until Jake turns into a pretzel, which could be soon because Jake almost looks like he is being bent into a Tree of Woe style position.

Deadprez: Joso isn’t going to let Jake go anytime soon. Joso wants to see Jake’s eye pop out of his head. The referee is there to see if Jake wants to give it up. With the rules of this match, this could easily be considered in the same category as a submission.

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think that’s right! I need a ruling on that. 

Deadprez: You got one last week when Kennedy said that you are allowed to do whatever you want to each other. That’s exactly what we’re gonna see.

Eve: Jake is still fighting back, BUT HE LOOKS TO BE FADING!! JAKE LOOKS LIKE HE IS ABOUT TO PASS OUT!! WILL JOSO HAVE AN EARLY NIGHT?

Gavin Kirkland: No he won’t BECAUSE HERE COMES DARYL KINKADE AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND GRABS JOSO ON THE WAY DOWN BEFORE DRIVING JOSO DOWN ON THE FLOOR WITH A SPINE TINGLING POWERBOMB!!

Eve: GOOD GAWD!! DID YOU SEE JOSO’S HEAD AND NECK SNAP BACK? DARYL DOESN’T NORMALLY DO THAT, BUT DARYL IS LIVING BY THE MANTRA “ANYTHING TO WN”!

Deadprez: He could be one step closer to winning with moves like that. Daryl isn’t the most liked guy on Showdown, but he sure as hell impressed a few people with that. Some people in this sold out crowd are cheering for Daryl.

Gavin Kirkland: Once again, Daryl is the only man standing in this match as Joso is down on the floor and Jake has got free of the corner. He fell backwards, but he managed to catch himself before slumping onto the steel steps to recover.

Eve: Daryl has a look of payback in his eyes as he walks over to grab Jake and he just grabs a double handful of Jake’s sponsored hair AND HE JUST TOSSES JAKE ACROSS THE FLOOR! JAKE USED DARYL’S HAIR FIRST AND DARYL RETURNED THE FAVOR!

Deadprez: Dawg, look at Daryl just pull the strands of Jake’s hair out from between his fingers. Now we can see what color the roots are. If he lies about his height, what else does he lie about?

Gavin Kirkland: You guys are worse than the tabloids you read at the grocery store. Making things up to try and drag Jake’s good name through the gutter. I would be ashamed if I were you.

Deadprez: Whatever, Gavin. As we get back to the match, we first saw Daryl pick up Joso and smash him face first against the ring apron. Now he puts his sights back on Jake Smith. 

Eve: Jake is sitting up and he sees Daryl coming for him and a look of “oh shit” just came across his face like he knew he was in a shit load of trouble. Jake is backing up as much as he can to try to get some space away from Daryl, but Daryl is right on his trail–

Gavin Kirkland: AS SOON AS DARYL GOT TO JAKE, JAKE PULLED DARYL BY THE FRONT OF THE TIGHTS AND SENT HIM THROAT FIRST INTO THE RINGSTEPS!! WOOOOOOO! Smart strategy by Jake. Does anybody else think that Jake is just so smart?

Eve: Nope.

Deadprez: Not a chance. 

Gavin Kirkland: That’s because he’s not your favorite. Look at Jake. He’s back on his feet and pointing to his head telling the world that he’s the smartest man in the match. He grabs Daryl as Daryl holds his throat in pain AND JUST SMASHES DARYL’S FACE INTO THE STEPS!!

Eve: DARYL IS HOLDING HIS FACE IN PAIN, BUT THAT IS NOT ALL! Jake is once again pulling Daryl up to his feet. Jake puts Daryl’s arm around the back of his neck AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR–

Deadprez: BACKDROP SUPLEX ON THE BARRICADE! IT WASN’T DARYL’S SPINE THAT HIT THE BARRICADE, IT WAS THE BACK OF HIS NECK! JAKE COULD HAVE BROKEN DARYL’S NECK THERE… THE SADISTIC BASTARD!!

Gavin Kirkland: Anything to win. If someone’s neck gets broken in the course of the match, so be it.

Deadprez: If you are any more biased, I might just let Eve punch your lights out, dawg.

Eve: That would make my season, Prezzy.

Gavin Kirkland: Rude.

Eve: Daryl is in an extreme amount of pain as Jake picks him back up and just tosses him back into the ring like a sack of potatoes. Jake is back in the ring as well and brings Daryl back up AND HITS HIM WITH ANOTHER BACKDROP SUPLEX! THIS TIME JAKE KEEPS HOLD AND BRIDGES UP FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHH—

Deadprez: JOSO LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE RING TO BREAK UP THE COVER! Very good move because with the sudden death structure, Jake pins Daryl and Joso also loses. 

Gavin Kirkland: Jake is back on his feet and getting right in Joso’s face. Jake is really telling Joso what for AND JAKE JUST SLAPS JOSO ACROSS THE FACE! Umm… Jake? I don’t think that was smart.

Eve: Would you care to take back your Jake is smart comment, Gavin? Jake is still yelling at Joso BEFORE SLAPPING JOSO IN THE FACE AGAIN! If one slap wasn’t smart, then two slaps is flat out stupid.

Deadprez: JAKE DECIDED TO GO FOR IT AND SLAP JOSO AGAIN, BUT JOSO CAUGHT THE HAND THIS TIME AND JAKE AGAIN REALIZES HE’S IN A SHITLOAD OF TROUBLE!

Gavin Kirkland: Joso. Joso!! You can let his hand go now. It was a momentary lapse of judgment. You know you’re my favorite, so you can let Jake go now.

Deadprez: Here we go. Jake looks like he is about to beg BUT JOSO STARTS SQUEEZING HIS HAND AND BENDING IT BACK AT AN AWKWARD ANGLE!! DO YOU REGRET THAT DECISION NOW, JAKE?

Eve: Jake is being tormented and Joso is enjoying every second. I wouldn’t be surprised if Joso breaks Jake’s hand right here as Jake has been brought down to his knees from all the pain–

Gavin Kirkland: JOSO JUST SWUNG HIS FOOT AND KICKED JAKE IN THE RIBS!! WHAT THE HELL? THAT WAS AWESOME, BUT SUCH A CHEAP SHOT!!

Eve: Good gawd. You are jumping from one highway to the other with who you are cheering for. First Jake, now Joso. What’s next? You gonna cheer for Daryl too?

Deadprez: He will as soon as he is back in control and winning the match. But right now it’s Joso just kicking the crap out of Jake! Look at those shots!

Gavin Kirkland: TO THE RIBS! TO THE FACE! ALL WHILE HE IS STILL BENDING JAKE’S HAND BACK! NO FAIR! HE’S CHEATING! BUT JOSO! DON’T! MISS!

Eve: It finally happened, Prezzy. Gavin Kirkland is starting to short circuit. He’s cheering and chastising Joso at the same time! But he is right that the kicks are were first in the ribs and he caught Jake with a few in the face–

Deadprez: THAT LAST KICK SNAPPED JAKE’S NECK BACK AND WE CAN SEE THAT JAKE’S BLEEDING FROM THE NOSE! Now Joso pulls Jake back to his feet AND PULLS HIM IN FOR A HALF NELSON SUPLEX–

Gavin Kirkland: JAKE WAS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND JOSO BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A NECKBREAKER!! LOOK AT JAKE! HE LOOKS PISSED! THAT’S A MILLION DOLLAR FACE YOU JUST CAUSED TO BLEED JOSO!! 

Deadprez: With a fifty sent attitude. But Jake is mad and he just starts PUNCHING JOSO RIGHT IN THE FACE! DAWG, I THINK JAKE MIGHT BE TRYING TO BUST JOSO OPEN, BUT JOSO IS BLOCKING AS MANY SHOTS AS HE CAN!

Eve: Jake pulls Joso back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Joso with the rebound AS JAKE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP, BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET.

Gavin Kirkland: Jake turns around and Joso kicks him in the gut. Jake is doubled over as Joso gets the gutwrench AND HE LIFTS HIM IN THE AIR!! JOSO’S LOOKING FOR A PILEDRIVER! I DON’T HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS!!

Eve: First his nose and then his neck. Jake is not in a good position, BUT JAKE IS BLOCKING IT! JAKE IS BLOCKING THE PILEDRIVER BEFORE COUNTERING WITH ANOTHER BACK BODY DROP!

Deadprez: Well it didn’t work a second time either because Joso again lands on his feet, BUT THIS TIME JAKE THROWS A BACK KICK AND CATCHES JOSO IN THE RIBS!

Gavin Kirkland: Now it’s Jake putting the gutwrench on Joso AND JAKE LIFTS JOSO IN THE AIR FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT JOSO QUICKLY FLIPS BACK AND COUNTERS THE POWERBOMB WITH A HURRICANRANA! JOSO REACHES BACK TO HOOK THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHH—

(CRASH!!)

Eve: DARYL IS ABLE TO BREAK UP THE COVER BUT HE GRABBED A MIRROR FROM UNDER THE RING AND JUST CRACKED JOSO IN THE HEAD WITH IT! THE GLASS SHARDS GOING EVERYWHERE!

Deadprez: Daryl is no doubt not playing with a full deck and the mirror shot just adds more evidence. Joso is holding his face in pain. There could be glass shards in his eyes to match the shards in his head.

Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is so jealous of both Joso and Jake because they have been the top dogs of a brand and Daryl has been on the outside looking in. 

Deadprez: Joso has rolled out of the ring as Daryl grabs Jake by the hair and pulls him into a seated position AND HE IS THROWING PUNCHES TO JAKE’S FOREHEAD! BARE KNUCKLES RIGHT INTO THE SKULL!!

Eve: Jake better find a way to get out of this situation or those knuckles are going to bust him open. BUT LOOK AT JAKE! JAKE IS ABLE TO CONTORT HIS BODY ENOUGH TO FLIP BACK AND WRAP HIS LEGS AROUND DARYL’S HEAD–

Gavin Kirkland: AND JAKE COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED HEADSCISSORS TAKING DARYL ACROSS THE RING AND ALMOST INTO THE CORNER! I told you all Jake was smart!

Eve: Of course you did. Anyways, Jake comes running towards the corner FOR A SHOULDER TACKLE–

Deadprez: NOBODY HOME AS DARYL GETS OUT OF THE WAY! JAKE GOES SAILING BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES AND HE CRASHES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST!

Gavin Kirkland: Are these two trying to put Jake out of action. One body part after another is getting injured by these men who wish they could be as successful as Jake. Joso is still cool as well.

Eve: Listening to you makes me wanna puke! Daryl pulls Jake out of the corner by the back of the tights and TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!!

Deadprez: He landed right next to Joso who was starting to get back to his feet. Now that he sees Jake next to him and he starts pounding on Jake as he pulls Jake back to his feet. Now both men are on their feet–  

Gavin Kirkland: AS DARYL RUNS FULL SPEED BEFORE DOING A BACKFLIP OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDING ON JOSO AND JAKE ON THE OUTSIDE! HOLY SHIT! THE SASUKE SPECIAL AND NOW ALL THREE MEN ARE DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE!!

Deadprez: Listen to the crowd! They might not like all three of these competitors but they are loving all of the action this match has provided in this match. Their literal blood, sweat, and tears.

Eve: Jake was bleeding from the nose and we can see Joso bleeding on his head from where the shards stuck and where Daryl struck him earlier. Will we see Daryl wear the Infamous Crimson Mask in this match?

Gavin Kirkland: If Joso or Jake have their way, you better believe it. I guarantee that Daryl Kinkade will bleed before this match is over. I bet my reputation on it.

Eve: Sorry, there’s a five dollar minimum. But speaking of Daryl, Daryl Kinkade is the first man back to his feet and he crawls under the ring for who the hell knows what. He must be searching for something good because he just came out from under the ring–

Deadprez: DARYL HAS A TABLE! THE TABLES ARE HERE AS HE SLIDES THE TABLE INTO THE RING BEFORE GOING BACK UNDER THE RING! HE HAS SOMETHING ELSE AND IT’S A LADDER! THIS IS GETTING GOOD!!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THE WEAPONS! I KNOW KENNEDY SAID NO RULES BUT WE WRESTLE ON SHOWDOWN!! WE DON’T TRY TO KILL EACH OTHER!! 

Eve: Sounds like you are backtracking on what you said earlier, but with the level of competition that the blue brand brings, sometimes brutalization is just necessary. Daryl goes to slide the ladder into the ring–

Deadprez: LOW BLOW! JAKE WITH A LOW BLOW AND DARYL FALLS TO THE MAT IN PAIN!! Leave it to Jake to do such a dirty and disgusting tactic to get ahead in this match.

Gavin Kirkland: Bloody hell!! Daryl got hit in his wee little bollocks. BAHAHAHAHAHA!! That’s exactly what you get. Now you were cut down to size.

Deadprez: Yeah. Now he’s Jake’s height. But Jake has rolled Daryl back into the ring, BUT HE IS STOPPED BY JOSO!! Joso pulls Jake out of the ring as he has Jake almost in a wheelbarrow position.

Eve: Joso takes Jake over to the steel steps AND DOES A WHEELBARROW GIANT SWING STYLE MOVE AND SENDS JAKE HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!! DID YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF THAT CRASH ON IMPACT?

Gavin Kirkland: Jake could be concussed or unconscious or who knows what else after that. He could have a cracked skull and Joso is smiling about it.  

Eve: Because he has taken Jake out of the equation again for the time being. Now Joso heads back to the ring to focus his attention on Daryl.

Deadprez: Joso slides into the ring and grabs the ladder and puts it awkwardly on the ropes as he lifts Daryl up TO SPIKE HIM DOWN WITH A DDT!!

Gavin Kirkland: Joso once again lifts Daryl up and this time he drapes Daryl’s stomach first on the top rope over the ladder on the middle rope. I don’t like this at all!!

Eve: Now Joso is on the top rope to get his balance BEFORE HE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE ONTO THE LADDER AND WITH ALL THE POWER HE CAN MUSTER SENDS THE OTHER PART OF THE LADDER RIGHT INTO DARYL’S FACE!

Deadprez: OH MY GAWD! LOOK AT DARYL HOLDING HIS FACE IN PAIN LIKE THAT!! ROLLING AROUND THE RING! WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE WAS JUST DONE THERE!

Gavin Kirkland: JOSO! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU DAMAGED DARYL, BUT YOU HURT YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS!! THIS ISN’T GOOD!!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP: THIS IS AWESOME! :CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP: THIS IS AWESOME! :CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP::CLAP:

Deadprez: JOSO HAS JUST OBLITERATED DARYL’S FACE AND JOSO DOESN’T WASTE ANOTHER SECOND CAPITALIZING ON THE SITUATION AS HE ROLLS DARYL ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Eve: DARYL KICKED OUT AT TWO! HE KICKED OUT AND STILL MANAGED TO KEEP HIS FACE COVERED! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAIN DARYL’S GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW!

Gavin Kirkland: You don’t have to wait very long BECAUSE HAS QUICKLY TRANSITIONED INTO THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION! BAHAHAHAHA LOOK! DARYL’S FACE IS COVERED IN BLOOD! I TOLD YOU THAT DARYL WOULD BLEED! 

Eve: DARYL COULD HAVE A BROKEN NOSE OR ORBITAL BONE! HARD TO TELL WITH ALL THAT BLOOD BUT THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE CHECKING TO SEE IF DARYL WILL TAP OUT!

Deadprez: It’s sudden death rules. Joso makes Daryl submit or pass out, he becomes the Number One Contender, but don’t expect Daryl to just give up. He’s going to fight as long and as much as he can.

Gavin Kirkland: And blood is still flowing from his face. I can respect the fight that Daryl has put up, but is all this blood loss worth being Number One Contender if he bleeds to death? Is he stupid?

Eve: Are you short sighted? We have seen people bleed more for lower stakes, so shut the hell up with that bullshit.

Deadprez: She told you, Gavin. LOOK AT JOSO! JOSO IS REALLY WRENCHING BACK ON DARYL’S HEAD AND NECK! DARYL IS LOOKING VERY TORTURED! I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER DARYL WILL LAST–

Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOO! JAKE IS BACK IN THE MATCH AND HE HAS A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION LOCKED IN ON JOSO! DOUBLE CROSSFACE WITH POOR DARYL GETTING THE WORST OF IT!!

Deadprez: Poor Daryl? Could you be any more condescending? We know you are rooting for Jake or Joso to win!!

Eve: What about Poor Joso? He’s not exactly feeling good right now trying to keep his submission locked in while being tortured in another.

Gavin Kirkland: What about Poor Jake?

Eve: No.

Deadprez: TWO CROSSFACES LOCKED IN AT THE SAME TIME! DARYL HAS BEEN IN THAT CROSSFACE FOR A BIT NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE DARYL IS ABOUT TO PASS OUT BUT HE IS STILL FIGHTING!!

Gavin Kirkland: LOOK! JOSO LETS HIS CROSSFACE SO HE CAN REACH BACK AND GRAB JAKE BY THE HAIR! JOSO FLINGS HIS HEAD BACK AND CATCHES JAKE IN THE FACE WITH A HEADBUTT!! 

Eve: Daryl is probably glad to be free of the submission, but he is barely moving as Jake holds his nose. We can also see fresh blood flowing from Jake’s nose after that headbutt. This time it could be broken but I don’t think Joso gives a damn!!

Deadprez: Jake comes running in for a clothesline THAT JOSO EASILY DUCKS! Jake keeps running towards the ropes before rebounding back AS JOSO JUMPS IN THE AIR TO GRAB JAKE AND ROLL HIM INTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE–

Gavin Kirkland: JAKE BLOCKED IT!! LOOK AT THE POWER OF JAKE SMITH AS HE REPOSITIONS JOSO BEFORE DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH A SITOUT POWERBOMB!! JOSO LANDS HARD AS JAKE STACKS HIM UP FOR A COVER! OH IT’S OVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: JOSO KICKED OUT AT TWO! OH THANK GAWD THIS MATCH CONTINUES ON, DAWG! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL FOR JAKE!

Eve: Look at Jake! He looks pissed off that this match is not over and he is yelling at the referee! What’d they do? Jake is almost screaming bloody murder at the referee!

Gavin Kirkland: Well if that referee would have done a fair count instead of that slow crap, Jake would be Number One Contender! It isn’t that hard.

Eve: Coming from the man who needs to take off his shoes to count past ten.

Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS JUST A RUMOR!

Deadprez: As we get back to the match, Jake is still fuming. But he finally turns back to the match–

(DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: IS THE MATCH OVER? Did the referee come to their senses and end the match?

Eve: No, Stupid!! DARYL CLOCKED JAKE IN THE FACE WITH THE RING BELL? BUT I NEVER SAW DARYL COME BY THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA! HOW DID HE GET A RING BELL!!

Deadprez: HE PULLED IT OUT FROM UNDER THE RING! I heard that they were going to keep an extra ring bell under the ring because the bell kept getting stolen in matches. Always good to have a spare I guess.

Gavin Kirkland: How is it good? Jake got his bell rung and it smashed his face. Speaking of faces, look at Daryl’s face. He has almost a sadistic grin on his face through all that blood. I think the ladder to the face knocked out what’s left of his brain power and sanity.

Deadprez: Jake is covering his face, but there is blood dripping off of his hands, so we know that he was busted open pretty nicely. Kennedy said she didn’t care if they tried to kill each other. Well… that’s exactly what’s going on.

Eve: All for the sake of facing off against the winner of the steel cage match later tonight. All for the sake of becoming Number One Contender for the Answers World Championship. What a match this has been.

Gavin Kirkland: How these three are still going is beyond me, but right now Daryl grabs Jake and pulls him back to his feet. Daryl gets Jake into the pumphandle position BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP–

Eve: AND DROPPING HIM RIGHT ON HIS HEAD WITH THE PUMPHANDLE PILEDRIVER! “HAIL TO THE VICTOR” BY DARYL KINKADE AS HE FALLS ON TOP OF JAKE AND HOOKS THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: JOSO IN AT THE VERY LAST SECOND TO BREAK UP THE COUNT! DARYL LESS THAN A SECOND AWAY FROM WINNING THIS MATCH! 

Gavin Kirkland: Joso didn’t miss that time. Now he has hold of Daryl and pulls him back to his feet AND FIRES A STRAIGHT KICK TO THE RIBS! Daryl goes for a clothesline attempt that Joso ducks. Joso grabs Daryl by the waist–

Eve: GERMAN SUPLEX BY JOSO! THE FORCE SENDS DARYL HEAD OVER HEELS AS HE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET BUT JOSO KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Deadprez: Daryl hits the ground AS JOSO GRABS DARYL’S LEG AND GOES FOR AN ANKLE LOCK, BUT DARYL IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A MODIFIED VICTORY ROLL!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: JOSO REVERSES THE VICTORY ROLL AND NOW DARYL’S SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: DARYL IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! Somehow Daryl is the first one on his feet AND HE JUMPS ON JOSO’S SHOULDERS! DARYL FLIPS BACK FOR THE POISONRANA–

Eve: BUT JOSO BLOCKS IT! JOSO STAYS ON HIS FEET AND GRABS DARYL’S LEGS! JOSO SHOWING SOME POWER BY SWINGING DARYL AROUND TO THE FRONT!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh this is not gonna be good! Joso has a waistlock on Daryl. Daryl is upside down as Joso steps through BEFORE FALLING FORWARD AND PLANTING DARYL!

Eve: “CRIMSON PEAK” BY JOSO AND THE STYLES CLASH WAS A DIRECT HIT! DARYL ISN’T MOVING AS JOSO ROLLS DARYL OVER AND STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: JAKE! JAKE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AS HE USES HIS BODY TO HOOK JOSO’S ARMS AND PULL HIM BACK INTO A CRUCIFIX ROLL UP! JAKE COULD STEAL IT HERE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S A THREE COUNT! RING THE BELL, REF! JAKE SMITH IS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!! IT’S OVER! WOOOOOOO!

Eve: It’s not over, you idiot!! The referee is saying that Joso got the shoulder up at the very VERY last second. Jake only got a two count, but he was very close to stealing this match!!

Deadprez: Now Jake is pounding the mat in frustration. Usually Jake can keep a level head, but he is getting frustrated that this match is still going on. Instead of arguing with the referee again, he rolls Joso over AND JUST STARTS PUNCHING JOSO IN THE HEAD!!

Gavin Kirkland: Joso is trying to get free, but Jake just won’t stop punching him. But Joso finally made it to the ropes in order to get a small breather, BUT JAKE IS RIGHT THERE–

Deadprez: UNTIL JOSO KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD AND STAGGERS JAKE BACK! Joso jumps onto the top rope AND CATCHES JAKE WITH A SLINGBLADE ACROSS THE THROAT!! JOSO IS BACK ON HIS FEET AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE! JOSO LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT–

Eve: JAKE GOT THE KNEES UP AND JOSO LANDS RIGHT ON THEM! Crash and burn situation for Joso as Jake slowly gets back to his feet. He grabs Joso by the head AND DROPS HIM WITH A BRAINBUSTER!

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t like that at all. Joso dropped on his head as Jake drags him to the corner. Jake gets on the middle rope and has Joso in a gutwrench–

Eve: JAKE JUMPS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AND SPIKES JOSO ON HIS HEAD AGAIN WITH THE FLIP PILEDRIVER! “HELL ABOVE” BY JAKE SMITH! JOSO IS OUT AND JAKE HOOKS THE LEG!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE IS BACK AND HE BREAKS UP THE COVER AND HE’S CHOKING JAKE! HE’S GOT BARBED WIRE!! DARYL IS CHOKING JAKE WITH BARBED WIRE! THE SHARP EDGES LODGING DEEP IN JAKE’S THROAT!!

Gavin Kirkland: Alright, I can give Daryl a lot of credit for staying alive in this match. Hell, he still has a shot at winning this thing. Even I would be impressed if Daryl was able to pull off the win–

(As Daryl is choking Jake, the lights go off in the arena, leaving it pitch black.)

Eve: What in the hell is going? Perfect time to have a blackout. Right in the middle of an important match like this. Is this some sort of a joke?

Deadprez: I don’t know what’s going on, but whatever it is, they need to fix it as soon as possible.

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah. We were watching some amazing action and now I can’t see anything and I don’t like that at all. WE WANT WRESTLING!!! WOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: I think it’s time for Gavin to go outside and get some air. Maybe not come back. Who knows.

(The lights suddenly come back on and there is one less person in the ring until the camera focuses on the ringside area.)

Eve: OH MY GAWD! 

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? 

(The camera shot focuses more on the floor and shows Joso unconscious and completely covered in blood as he is on the ringside floor in front of the commentary table.)

Eve: HOW IN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? JOSO WAS JUST RECOVERING IN THE RING AND NOW HE’S BEEN BEATEN WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE! WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?

Deadprez: No doubt it was somebody who did NOT wanna see Joso walk away as the Number One Contender. Whatever the case, Joso has been taken out of the equation so now it looks like we are down to a one on one match.

Gavin Kirkland: During the blackout, Jake was able to get free of the barbed wire strangle session. Daryl is down and trying to get back to his feet AS JAKE GOES FOR THE “STARMAKER”—

Eve: DARYL SPINS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES AND COMING BACK TO SPIKE JAKE ON HIS HEAD WITH THE MONKĒ FLIP DDT! FRONT FLIP DDT CONNECTS, BUT DARYL IS ELECTING TO NOT GO FOR THE COVER!

Gavin Kirkland: Instead, Daryl grabs Jake by the hair and pulls him back to his feet in order to finish Jake off once and for all. 

Deadorez: Daryl hooks both of Jake’s arms and is wanting to lift Jake in the air! DARYL IS LOOKING FOR THE STORMBREAKER! “MISERY LOVES COMPANY” ON THE WAY!!

Eve: THE HELL? XANDER PAYNE HAS JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND HIT DARYL FROM BEHIND! DARYL DROPS JAKE AND XANDER WHIPS DARYL TO THE ROPES–

Gavin Kirkland: XANDER LIFTS DARYL IN THE AIR AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH THE “LAST SEDATION”! WHAT A POWERBOMB BY XANDER PAYNE!!

Eve: Jake is on his feet and he tells Xander to pull Daryl to his knees. Adam backs up and pulls down his knee pad before RUNNING FULL SPEED TO DARYL–

Deadprez: AND CLOBBERING HIM WITH THE SHINING WIZARD! JAKE DROVE HIS BARE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF DARYL’S HEAD! THE “GOD COMPLEX” BY THE WALKING NAPOLEON COMPLEX! JAKE SIMPLY ROLLS DARYL OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER! WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

( ‘90210’ starts playing again as the crowd boos loudly. Jake rolls off of Daryl and is catching his breath as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… AND THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP… JAKE SMITH!!

Deadprez: OH SON OF A BITCH!! Then again, what a freakin’ surprise. Jake Smith dealt from the bottom of the deck in order to get the victory.

Eve: That really sucks. I mean the match was going so well before Jake’s engorged partner in crime Xander Payne came out and cost Daryl the match and a shot at the Answers World Championship.

(Jake is back on his feet as the referee tries to raise Jake’s arm in victory before Xander shoves him away and raises Jake’s arm as the crowd boos them both out of the building before they leave the ring. Meanwhile, the medic team has come down to the ring to check on Joso and Daryl.)

Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOO! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT JAKE WAS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH AND HE DID!! JAKE IS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER AND ON HIS WAY TO AN ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!! GET MAD CRYBABIES!!

Eve: We know. We know. You took Caroline’s spot by sucking Jake’s dick the entire match. You’re lucky nobody knocked your ass out. Either way, you have got to feel bad for both Joso and Daryl. Joso was taken out of the match and Xander put Daryl down as he was on his way to winning.

Deadprez: They worked so hard, but at the end of the day, it was the underhanded tactics of Jake Smith that led him to victory here. Now Jake Smith will be challenging the winner of the Answers World Championship cage match later on tonight between Donovan Duke and Veena Adams. So congratulations to Jake… I guess.

(The final shot shows the medic team checking on Daryl in the ring and Joso on the outside before cutting to the top of the entrance ramp where Jake is rubbing victory in everybody’s faces telling the world he is the Number One Contender as the scene fades into an ad for Voltage’s Blood Sport.)

(The next match graphic of the night appears.)

( https://imgur.com/kCdSeVl )

(At that moment, after the graphic appears, the arena completely goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar at that moment, fireworks blast off the entrance as “Just Stop” by Disturbed plays throughout the arena and the crowd responds with incredibly loud cheers. The beautiful and confident Pandora Paisley walks out, her wrestling gear and fedora in full white. She stands there, being taken aback for a few seconds due to the reaction of the crowd but either way, she looks forward towards the camera, lowers her glasses and winks, as she looks back towards the crowd and she screams in genuine excitement, getting them hyped up all while she walks forward with all of the confidence in the world.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER, FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND, WEIGHING IN AT 126 POUNDS, SHE IS “THE HEEEEELLLLLCAAAATTTTTTTT”, PANDORAAAAAAAAAAAA PAIIIIIIIISSSSLEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!

Eve: It is now or never, that is what we have heard various times from Pandora Paisley, she put everything on the line to make sure that she comes out here as the National Elite Champion, even if she was forced to put her own wants aside to make this happen.

Deadprez: Naturally, I want to call that stupid but I know how much this means to Pandora herself, especially when throughout the years she has worked hard to shine by herself, so this might as well be her last chance in a way.

Gavin Kirkland: Hey, but if she loses, that means one more incredibly pretty woman for Silas World, baby! We can’t stop winning! 

(Pandora is able to reach the ring herself, climbing the corner and posing in a confident way, there are no more chances, she has to make this one count. She gets off the corner and then waits there patiently, as then, “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics plays on the speakers, the reactions immediately flipping as loud boos ring across the arena, Harper Lee walks out to the stage with a shit-eating grin, she is wearing a combo of black and white gear, very grandiose due to the fact that the cape of the cloak she is wearing is obnoxiously long, she takes the hood off and reveals her hair before raising the National Elite Championship up to the air, walking forward all while Silas enters as well.)

Gina Romano: AND INTRODUCING, THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS, SHE IS HARPEEEEEEEEEERRRRR LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: MY GOOOAAATTTTT!!!

Eve: She looks extra obnoxious today.

Deadprez: Hey, she is basically fighting to force someone else into their stupid group, she might get an ego boost from it, but it can’t be denied as well the challenge that Pandora will face too, since Harper herself has been on a roll ever since she achieved the National Elite Championship.

Eve: I won’t look forward to Harper Lee shenanigans but I know that these women will give it their all to win that championship.

(Just as Harper arrives at the end of the ramp and goes to enter the ring, Silas who has already taken a few bumps and is a little worse for wear, takes the corner and actually approaches the announcer’s table.)

Eve: …why is he coming over here?

Deadprez: Dawg, ain’t no way. He’s really taking that headset-

Silas Mason: Lady! Gentlemen! Such a pleasure to don the headset with all of you!

Gavin Kirkland: SILAAAAAASSSS! HOW ARE YOU, MAN?!

(Gavin tries to get a high five from Silas but he completely ignores him.)

Eve: Ugh! What are you doing here?! Silas World is banned from interfering!

Silas Mason: But not banned from appearing, you can treat me like the Devil all you want, but I am only here to call it down the middle as I should be, I may not be an official commentator but I know a stuff or two.

Deadprez: Incredible.

(Harper enters the ring, letting her cloak drop all while Pandora takes off her ring jacket, both women stand on both corners, staring each other down as finally…)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!

(Pandora pushes herself off the corner and puts her arms up, ready to go and start off this match properly, but in a shocking manner, Harper decides to step forward and then present a handshake towards Pandora! Pandora looks at it in a confused manner as Harper surprisingly keeps a friendly smile.)

Harper Lee: (off-mic) I don’t do this often… so you better take it.

(Pandora glares slightly for a moment, shrugging slightly in response and surprisingly taking in the handshake, amidst some boos from the crowd. The grin in Harper’s face widens slightly as Pandora accepts the handshake-)

Eve: PANDORA SUDDENLY PULLS HARPER BY HER ARM RIGHT ONTO HER GRASP! “CATASTROPHE” OUT OF NOWHEREEEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: BUT AT THE LAST MOMENT HARPER PUSHES HER AWAY TOWARDS THE ROPES! Harper fully expected Pandora to take that option!

(Pandora leans against the ropes, annoyance in her expression as she turns and Harper laughs to herself, tapping the side of her head softly to brag about her intelligence before she pulls up her arms as well, finally ready to lock up.)

Gavin Kirkland: Pfft! Can you believe that, Silas?! The beautiful Harper Lee ends up giving her respect and then she throws it away just like that?! The nerve that she has!

Silas Mason: No, in fact, the reverse! I like it!

Gavin Kirkland: …? I mean- yeah! Let her insult Harper Lee all she wants! We allow it!

Silas Mason: See gentlemen and lady, I did not expect at all for Pandora to say yes to my proposition at the start, for all she knew, I was just a strange man who knew the family of her mentor, and with the reputation that precedes me, well, I do not expect things to get handed to me in a silver platter. I knew I would get rejected, it is only when you work hard and you set your mind to something you achieve what you want.

Gavin Kirkland: *Such wise words…*

Eve: *More like full of BS is what they are.*

Silas Mason: I do not want Pandora to lay down, I want to see the fire that I have always seen from her in every single match that she has participated in, and besides, shouldn’t it be fitting that we give these people a show as always?

Deadprez: *Man, I would not go back for another ticket knowing what your concept of show was*. But hey, sure, let’s say yes about it. Pandora pushes herself off of the ropes and then she aggressively grabs onto Harper, as the two of them end up finally locking holds and they try to wrestle for control.

Silas Mason: There is no need for me to spell it out, but to those watching that may be a little slow on the head, that is the main trick of your National Elite Champion, Harper Lee, she can get in your head just like that without barely even lifting a finger, we have prepared and went over strategies to be able to achieve certain victory!

Eve: Well, let us see how certain things are going to be, yeah? 😐 The two competitors are pretty equal in terms of strength as they try to push each other towards the ropes! Pandora is a bit more aggressive when it comes to pushing here, and that gives Harper the chance to switch her grip around and suddenly put Pandora here in a headlock! Harper almost immediately starts to go at her head.

Gavin Kirkland: That is what we like to see, baby! Come on my GOAT! She is using those incredible wrestling skills learned from the best that is sitting right in this very table, yeah?

Eve: Didn’t believe you thought of Deadprez so highly :mjgrin:

Gavin Kirkland: Wha- you know who I mean!

Silas Mason: Flattered, not from who I wanted to hear sadly, but pay focus yet again as Pandora is able to find a small breakthrough, Harper didn’t grip her hands tight enough when going for that headlock, as Pandora is able to slip her fingers here- AND REVERSE IT JUST LIKE THAT! She grabs tightly onto Harper’s arm and then she starts wrenching it to the side, now focusing on it! Very impressive indeed!

Eve: Harper almost immediately doesn’t let Pandora wear her down, she rolls through forward and then back again!

Silas Mason: She learned this technique from Mr. Donovan Duke himself! She spins right over and is able to escape herself out of the arm wrench, as she uses the momentum to grab onto Pandora’s arm instead and tries to go for her own arm wrench!

Deadprez: But Pandora has that scouted! She stomps HARD right on Harper’s knee just as she makes that turn to lock in the arm wrench! Pandora moves and her back faces Harper- BEFORE SLAMMING HER DOWN HARD AGAINST THE MAT WITH THAT ARMDRAG! That slam gets some cheers from the crowd as Pandora tries to pin Harper down to the mat!

Eve: Ugh, come on! Harper already rolls towards the ropes and prevents Pandora from keeping her down! 

Silas Mason: Tactical retreat despite what these simpletons may think about it! Pandora has excellent striking ability but her most underrated aspect is her technical prowess. We have worked to the smallest of details to make sure to find a counterattack for every possible scenario that we might encounter.

Gavin Kirkland: …isn’t that a bit too much???

Silas Mason: Not when you have to face such a star as Pandora Paisley.

Deadprez: *Oh, he has weirdo glazing too, huh?*

Eve: Harper is able to roll out of the ring in time, but Pandora is not going to let her escape! She goes through the ropes and then she runs forward, trying to hit her across her chest with a Penalty Kick!

Gavin Kirkland: HAH! Harper catches her kick! She grabs her ankle and then YANKS HER BACKWARDS! Forcing her to fall down face first against the ring apron! Harper grabs her by her neck and then pulls her along! She tries to go for a DDT from the ring apron!

Deadprez: Pandora escapes though and pushes herself forward! She lands on her feet- AND SLAMS HARPER BACK FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE! And both ladies start tussling out on the outside! Fists are flying right on!!!

Eve: They are both pushing towards each other against the barricade and the edge of the ring! Harper is able to break through though and push Pandora closer towards one of the ring posts! She runs forward!

Deadprez: BUT PANDORA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT ON TIME! Harper went for a clothesline to smash Pandora’s head against the post! Pandora sees the opportunity, grabbing onto Harper’s hand- AND THEN SMASHING IT AGAINST THE POST YET AGAIN! DAMN!

Eve: Tables have turned already just like that, Silas!

Silas Mason: Don’t call victory already! Especially in the first few minutes, you will see how fast that changes!

Eve: Yeah, I wonder how fast attitudes will change as well, as Pandora grabs Harper by her head- AND THEN RUSHES TOWARDS THE COMMENTARY DESK, SLAMMING HER HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE TABLE! And then she starts slamming her head repeatedly over and over without any bit of mercy!

Deadprez: Pandora finally lets go of Harper and then she turns to look towards Silas!

Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) Don’t you dare mess with me again, Silas! If I could, it would be you in this position instead!

Silas Mason: Whoa, is that how you are going to treat someone that just wants to help? And besides, I am the least of your worries right now!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER STOMPS HARD ON THE BACK OF PANDORA’S RIGHT KNEE! Pandora falls forward on the desk- AND NOW HARPER SLAMS HER HEAD HARD AGAINST THE DESK! 

(Silas ends up clapping in response at Harper being able to catch Pandora off guard before Harper grabs her and then walks away with her in tow.)

Eve: You are REALLY enjoying this, huh? What a way to help from you.

Silas Mason: Never stated that the process would be easy, Miss Eve. She is already acting on impulse from everything that has happened and Harper Lee is going to end up taking advantage of it as soon as she sees that weakness, Pandora is good right now, but she isn’t great like Harper Lee. I will make sure to bring her to that next level once it is all done!

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, stop saying stupid stuff, Eve!

Eve: You are Gavin Kirkland.

Deadprez: :mjlol: Harper turns with Pandora in her grasp- SLAMS HER HARD AGAINST THE RING APRON GUT FIRST! She pushes her towards the ring apron, forcing her to lay down as Harper hops onto the ring herself, grabbing tightly onto the top rope…

Eve: Before jumping forward- DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP RIGHT ONTO PANDORA’S GUT WHILE ON THE RING APRON! Harper uses her foot now to roll Pandora right back inside, Harper yet again shifting the balance of the match back towards her.

Silas Mason: As you have seen right now, Pandora has a bit of… a hothead problem, that is one of the strategies that we have gone over, Harper is an expert of the mindgames, get her to lose focus on what is at stake here for a few seconds and then take her down when she least expects it, and you clearly saw that it worked just right now. You see how important it is to prepare now?

Gavin Kirkland: Very wise from you, Mister Mason! 

Eve: Yeah, hoooowww wise. Pandora rolls back inside and she nurses her gut after Harper did that stomp- Wait, Harper isn’t even done yet! She pulls herself up to the top corner and then she stands right on the tippity top, rising up- AND THEN GOING FOR A DIVING FOOTSTOMP FROM THE TOP ROPE!

Deadprez: PANDORA ROLLS AWAY TO THE CORNER IN TIME! Harper tried to target her back with that one but Pandora out of instinct moved out of the way!

Gavin Kirkland: Harper lands on both of her feet and she rolls through! She turns trying to run towards Pandora just as she rises up to her feet- trying to go for a Shotgun Dropkick!

Eve: BUT PANDORA CATCHES BOTH OF HER FEET BEFORE SHE CAN LAND THE SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Pandora with some impeccable timing as she grabs tightly onto Harper’s ankles and then pulls her off of the corner towards the center of the ring, Pandora trying to get a grip here- and somehow transition it into a sharpshooter!

Silas Mason: And just as she tries to lean forward to go and lock the submission in, Harper KICKS her away with both of her feet and she goes down! Good try right there at slowing her down, will have to put more effort if she plans to fully slow Harper to a halt.

Eve: Pandora tries to roll through onto her knees here- AS HARPER RUNS FORWARD AND THEN KICKS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST WITH THAT PENALTY KICK! That impact was heard across the arena! She drags Pandora away from the corner and then she goes to cover her! The first pinfall of the match!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: Leads to nothing at all! Pandora kicks out right at the two count, but- Harper already gets up?

Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN DELIVERS A SECOND PENALTY KICK STRAIGHT TOWARDS PANDORA’S BACK! Look at my beautiful and very talented goat showing off that strong style wrestling right in front of our very eyes!

Deadprez: Saying strong style wrestling for the tiniest woman possible is crazy.

Silas Mason: Harper Lee can kick the head off 30 different men if she ever desires to, that woman right there is DEADLY if you even take a second to underestimate her. And it is even more impressive that Pandora still pushes herself up despite those strikes against her body.

Eve: Pandora is trying to get some distance here from Harper now, trying to catch her breath and get some energy back but Harper- KICKS HER RIGHT ON THE BACK! Pandora snaps back from the pain and Harper suddenly grabs her by her hair- turning towards the corner right to her side, as she runs forward with her- AND SLAMS HER SHOULDER FIRST THROUGH THE CORNER AND AGAINST THE RING POST!

Deadprez: Harper backs away and spreads her arms to the side, as the crowd reacts to her with incredibly loud boos, no matter how things change they always stay the same in a way. She grabs onto Pandora’s head just as she turns and pulls her closer, as Harper jumps onto her back- AND SHE TRIES TO GO FOR THAT SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB ONTO THE TURNBUCKLES!

Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA HOLDS TIGHTLY ONTO HARPER’S LEGS! She prevents her from doing the full rotation as Pandora turns over slowly while having Harper up on her back! Where is she getting this strength from?!

Deadprez: Smallest woman possible, man, I already said it! But Pandora is able to turn facing the corner- AND PULLS FORWARD! SLAMMING HARPER RIGHT ONTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!!! THE BACK OF HER HEAD COLLIDED HARD AGAINST IT!

Eve: It gives Pandora some time to breathe now! She falls back and is unable to capitalize yet due to the pain in her gut and shoulder! She is rolling away though all while Harper looks out of it right now after her head got smashed into the corner like that.

Silas Mason: I told Harper already to expect to get knocked on the head a few times but even I am taken off guard at the move that Pandora ended up pulling off there! I’ll make sure to take note of it for later briefings.

Eve: Isn’t it very egotistical thinking that way when Pandora hasn’t even lost the match yet?

Silas Mason: Confidence, Miss Eve, we all have it, you should have it too, no?

Eve: Yeah, I am confident your champion is going down. Pandora is rising up to her feet and then waiting on the opposite corner here.

Silas Mason: …Hm? Why is she not going on the attack?

Deadprez: Pandora is actually waiting and giving Harper the chance to get up herself! Why is she not capitalizing?

Silas Mason: This is not what I expected at all.

(Pandora looks focused now and she is actually taking her time to calm down and not let the anger get to her head. With everything that she has learned and understood from Silas himself, she has to expect everything and anything!)

Eve: Pandora is not letting herself get carried away by her anger! I think your plan is not entirely fullproof, Silas! Harper is finally walking out of the corner herself and she immediately rushes forward towards Pandora, trying to flatten her down to the mat with a Discus Lariat!

Deadprez: AND PANDORA AT THE RIGHT MOMENT CATCHES HARPER’S ARM! She spins Harper over and Pandora stands right behind her, suddenly jumping onto her back- AND TRANSITIONING IT INTO AN ABDOMINAL STRETCH! 

Gavin Kirkland: THIS ISN’T GOOD AT ALL! My goat has to escape from this one before it gets worse!

Silas Mason: This is one of her weakest moves, she will be fine-

Eve: PANDORA SUDDENLY STARTS THROWING ELBOWS RIGHT AT HARPER’S RIBS! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO THE ROAR OF THE CROWD! Harper’s expression shows genuine pain as Pandora was able to put her in a precarious position! She just has to keep wearing Harper down!

Silas Mason: A champion does not give up so easily! Harper with her free arm is able to grab onto Pandora’s knee- AND DIG HER NAILS HARD ONTO THE BACK OF IT! Show no mercy at all!

Deadprez: Pandora ends up losing her balance from the sudden attack of Harper! Harper grabs onto her leg and then successfully trips her up, preventing Pandora from continuing the Abdominal Stretch here! She keeps hold of her leg and then pulls her back, forcing Pandora to roll onto her knees here as Harper falls back against the ropes…

Gavin Kirkland: AND THEN NAILS HER RIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT!

Eve: PANDORA DUCKS RIGHT DOWN AND AVOIDS THE KNEE FROM HARPER! PANDORA IS ABLE TO GET BEHIND HARPER AND THEN GRAB TIGHTLY ONTO HER ARMS FROM BEHIND HER! PANDORA RAISES HER LEG! “THE LOVE TAP!!!”

Silas Mason: Roll through.

Deadprez: WAIT! Harper at the last moment is able to jump through and wrap her legs around Pandora’s waist! SHE REVERSES AND BRINGS PANDORA DOWN WITH A WHEELBARROW ROLL STRAIGHT INTO A PINFALL! What kind of agility is that?!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: PANDORA KICKS OUT RIGHT IN TIME! She is able to stay alive as the two of them scurry up towards their feet! Pandora tries to beat Harper to the punch and then tries to kick her right in the chest!

Gavin Kirkland: Harper raises her arms up right in time and blocks the kick sent straight towards her chest here! Harper pushes her leg down- AND THEN SHE STARTS NAILING HER WITH KICK AFTER KICK! This is not the place Pandora should be in right now! You make the worst mistake of your life wanting to go kick for kick with none other than Harper Lee herself!

Deadprez: BUT THAT GIRL IS NOT GETTING KNOCKED DOWN! Some cheers are heard from the crowd as Pandora is taking every kick towards her chest like the champ that she truly is! Even there is some shock in Harper’s face as Pandora does not go down so easily- AND THIS TIME PANDORA CATCHES A KICK FROM HARPER! Pandora keeps a grip on that ankle and then she switches hands, moving Harper’s legs right over her head- AND PULLING HER CLOSER AND UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS! 

Eve: It seems like Pandora almost looks for a powerbomb here but she pushes Harper’s legs and forces her to rest on her shoulders- BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN HARD WITH A SAMOAN DROP RIGHT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Wait, Pandora is not content with only that! She pushes herself up to her feet and she is moving towards the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: Pandora pulling herself up to the top of the corner with that fire that she has in her eyes! If my fellow Silas World member was not wrestling right now, I would be screaming as loud as I can in support!

Silas Mason: You are not part of the group.

Gavin Kirkland: https://tenor.com/crE6mpaBvh8.gif

Eve: Pandora is fully on top of the corner, she gets up to both of her feet, she looks around towards the whole crowd around her, cheering loudly for her at this very moment, before she takes a deep breath… AND THEN SHE JUMPS OFF!

Deadprez: “THE PRICE TAG!” THE DIVING ELBOW DROP!

Silas Mason: Stomp.

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER COMES ALIVE AND THEN SHE RAISES BOTH HER LEGS! SHE STOMPS PANDORA’S ELBOW RIGHT IN MID-AIR JUST BEFORE SHE CAN LAND IT!

Eve: Pandora screams through her teeth in pain after that awkward landing! Out of all things to happen, that is the one thing that should not occur! She needs to roll away before it is too late!

Deadprez: BUT HARPER ACTS WHEN SHE SEES BLOOD IN THE WATER! SHE GRASPS ONTO THAT DAMAGED ARM OF PANDORA AND THEN SHE PULLS IT OVER HER HEAD! THE “JOURNEY’S END” IS LOCKED RIGHT IN!!!

Silas Mason: Perfect! I haven’t had the chance to test her when it comes to her being put in a situation like this, will she tap out? Will she not tap out? We shall see in these next few minutes!

Eve: You are NOT a commentator, dude!

Deadprez: You are a mole with glasses more than a commentator.

Silas Mason: What?!

Gavin Kirkland: Pandora is struggling out there! Harper is showing every bit of brutality that is coursing through her veins as she pulls on that arm as far back as she can, all while that crossface is pulling hard on Pandora’s face! She has to find a way to get out of this!

Eve: Pandora is not going to lie down and die in the middle of that ring! She is showing life and trying to pull herself forward here with every bit of energy that she has on herself! She is even using her nails to dig deep and then pull herself forward in a more effective manner! 

Deadprez: Harper using all of the strength that she has to try and pull even further back but Pandora is shaking her head, refusing to give up and quit in such a manner!

Crowd: PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA!

Eve: Even after everything that has happened with Pandora Paisley, the crowd are fully in support of her and chanting her name here as loud as they can! It clearly gives Pandora a boost here as she is able to push herself forward- SHE IS CLOSE TO REACHING THE ROPES!

Deadprez: Wait! Harper is switching her grip here on the crossface- AND TRYING TO PULL PANDORA’S SURGICALLY REPAIRED NOSE INSTEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA KNOWS SHE CAN’T TAKE DAMAGE THERE! She pushes herself off with both of her feet- and she is able to reverse the submission right into a sudden roll-up, putting all of her weight onto Harper!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: NO! Harper kicks out right before the referee can hit the three count, letting go of the submission, as both competitors yet again rush up to their feet as fast as they can! 

Deadprez: WITH PANDORA ATTACKING FIRST! THE “CAT’S PAW”!!!

Silas Mason: Catch it.

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER CATCHES PANDORA’S SUPERKICK JUST LIKE THAT! Harper then pushes it to the side with force, forcing Pandora to spin and now having her back turned! As-

Eve: HARPER HITS HER DOWN WITH THE “HOUSE OF BALLOONS!!!” THE BACKSTABBER RIGHT ON THE MIDDLE OF PANDORA’S SPINE! Harper rolls her over and then pushes her shoulders down! Come on!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: PANDORA FINDS THAT ENERGY SHE IS LOOKING FOR! SHE KICKS OUT FROM THE BACKSTABBER JUST LIKE THAT! She is still in the match! 

Eve: But Harper’s expression barely changes, she does not show annoyance as she starts backing away and seemingly going to prepare something else!

Gavin Kirkland: Hey, Silas, why when Pandora is going for a move do you speak up?

Silas Mason: Oh? It’s nothing.

Deadprez: Actually, yeah. That is pretty weird, why you even doing that?

Silas Mason: Ah well, if you want to know so bad, I might as well let the cat out of the bag. When you know the Street Family for such a long time, and seeing how they wrestle, you get to understand and pick a few things here and there, especially when to counter everything that they throw at their opponent. Me and Harper trained to make sure to stop almost any move thrown her way, training over and over until she could stop it every time.

Eve: …what?! Is that why Harper has been able to reverse all of Pandora’s strongest moves??? That is not fair at all!

Silas Mason: When you have the knowledge, the time, the connections and the history, you can do whatever you want. You want to ban Silas World from appearing? I’ll gladly find another way to rig the game if it is necessary. Bravo to Pandora for fighting so hard, but I think it is time to end this.

Deadprez: You damn rat!

(Harper leans against the corner, turning towards commentary before Silas gives her the signal to “end it”, all while she grins in response and she turns.)

Eve: Wait, no way is she…

Deadprez: SHE IS POSITIONING FOR THE “FINAL ATONEMENT!!!” SHE IS GOING TO USE KELTON’S OWN FINISHER AGAINST PANDORA??? Putting salt on the wound for no reason!

Gavin Kirkland: Pandora rises up to her feet, trying to push through the pain of the backstabber that she suffered a few seconds ago! She turns around now! 

Eve: AS HARPER SUDDENLY RUNS FORWARD AND TRIES TO CUT HER DOWN WITH THE SPEAR!!!

Deadprez: PANDORA LEAPS OVER RIGHT ON TIME JUST AS HARPER CRASHES AGAINST THE CORNER! She runs to the opposite and then she prepares herself now, genuine anger in her eyes now as Harper tried to insult her by using her own boyfriend’s finisher against her!

Gavin Kirkland: Harper tries to shake the pain off as she turns around!

Eve: Wait- NO! IT’S A TRAP-

Deadprez: PANDORA RUNS FORWARD AND TRIES TO END IT! “PANDORA’S BOX!!!!”

Silas Mason: CUT HER OFF!!!

Gavin Kirkland: **”LONELY STAR” OUT OF NOWHEREEEEEEEEEE!!!**

(There is a small silence for a few seconds before then, loud boos erupt through the arena, Pandora falls down onto the ground with a loud thud. Yet again, Harper used mind games to catch her opponent off guard just when she needed to, and just as before, she smiles with genuine delight.)

Silas Mason: Game, set, match!

Eve: NO! COME ON!

Deadprez: No way this is all Pandora has left!

Silas Mason: It was a pleasure to be here tonight but I’ll welcome the new member of the group in a minute, so excuse me to get up.

Gavin Kirkland: Harper finally moves forward and then covers Pandora! 

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: …

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: …

Referee: …

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: …

Referee: …

Referee: …

Silas Mason: Welcome to-

Eve: **NOTHING! BECAUSE PANDORA PAISLEY KICKS OUT OF THE “LONELY STAR” AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!**

(And just like that, the tides are shifted yet again. The crowd roars with loud cheers as there is a genuine shock on Harper’s face when she feels Pandora kicking out, all while Silas Mason stands there, speechless at what he just saw.)

Silas Mason: …What? WHAT?! That can’t be possible! That knee has taken out dozens of people just like that! It has taken out amazing wrestlers, it has taken out champions, former world champions, FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS! HOW DID SHE KICK OUT?!

Eve: She has said it repeatedly throughout all of this time! It is now or never for Pandora Paisley! And she won’t let the result that you want play out!

Silas Mason: Harper, don’t just sit there, do SOMETHING!

Deadprez: Harper is shaken to her core from that but she almost immediately moves now and then she starts- KICKING THE HELL OUT OF PANDORA! DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN TO FURTHER WEAR HER DOWN AND PUT HER OUT! 

Eve: THE HELLCAT IS NOT FALLING DOWN, SHE IS FEELING PHYSICAL PAIN HERE, BUT THE HEARTBREAK OF YET AGAIN HAVING TO FAIL IN SUCH A SITUATION LIKE THIS IS FAR TOO MUCH! Even more than what she is feeling right now! She won’t let it happen!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER PULLS BACK, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD-

Eve: AS PANDORA RAISES AND THEN SHE HITS HARPER RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW WITH THAT SPINNING HEEL KICK! HARPER LEE GETS STOPPED ON HER TRACKS- AND NOW PANDORA IS THROWING STRIKE AFTER STRIKE TOWARDS HER HEAD, PUSHING HER TOWARDS THE CORNER IN FRONT OF THEM!

Silas Mason: No, no, no! This is not what was planned for! She couldn’t have survived that!

Deadprez: Wow, you went to all of this trouble to recruit Pandora for your group because you thought she was strong, but not strong enough to beat Harper Lee herself? Damn shame.

Silas Mason: Shut up! I don’t need to hear from you! I know what I am doing, and I know how this will end! Silas World on top, YET AGAIN!

Eve: THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK! PANDORA IS ABLE TO PUSH HARPER TOWARDS THE CORNER HERE AND CUT HER OFF FROM MAKING ANY FURTHER DAMAGE! She grabs onto her arm here and then irish whips her towards the other corner!

Deadprez: But before Pandora can follow through here, Harper jumps onto the second rope at the last second- AND THEN GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!

Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! Harper lands on both of her feet, running towards Pandora trying to go for another move here!

Eve: Pandora drops down to the ground, trying to trip Harper up here, but Harper jumps over her and then tries to bounce off the ropes, trying to catch Pandora off guard before she can get up with a- RUNNING METEORA!

Deadprez: PANDORA CATCHES HER LEGS AND THEN ROLLS THROUGH RIGHT ONTO HER BACK- PUTTING BOTH OF HER LEGS IN A KNOT BEFORE LEANING FORWARD- AND TRYING TO LOCK IN A GROUNDED OCTOPUS STRETCH ON THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!

Silas Mason: HARPER GRABS ONTO HER HEAD BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY LOCK IT IN! And then she starts SLAMMING HER HEAD ONTO THE MAT! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! DO NOT HOLD BACK, HARPER!

Eve: Pandora ends up losing grip due to the constant slams to the mat! No! Harper is able to free herself from the octopus stretch as she slowly rises up to her feet with a sick smile on her face, grabbing tightly onto Pandora’s head as she- COME ON!

Deadprez: TO ADD EVEN MORE INSULT TO INJURY! HARPER TRIES TO HIT PANDORA DOWN WITH HER OWN FINISHER! “CATASTROPHE” FROM HARPER LEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! PANDORA AT THE LAST SECOND WITH A BURST OF ENERGY, SHE LIFTS HARPER UUUUUUP- STRAIGHT INTO A BACK SUPLEEEEEXX!!!

Eve: PANDORA FULLY DROPS HARPER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THAT ONE! THERE IS ANGER IN EVERY MOVE, BUT THERE IS A RESOLVE TO NOT GIVE UP YET! Pandora pushes through and gets up, pulling Harper up yet again to her feet all while the crowd is fully in support of her! HERE WE GO!

Deadprez: “CATASTROPHE” FROM PANDORA THIS TIME!

Silas Mason: PUSH HER!

Gavin Kirkland: Harper pushes Pandora away from her and prevents her from delivering the move yet again! Pandora won’t be able to finish the match this way!

Eve: Pandora bounces off the ropes here and then comes back, all while Harper acts and tries to go for the-

Deadprez: THE “CAT CLAWS!!!”

Silas Mason: HANDS UP!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER PUTS HER HANDS UP TO PROTECT HER FACE!

Eve: FOR AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, PANDORA SIDESTEPS AND THEN GRABS ONTO HARPER’S ARMS INSTEAD! PULLING HER DOWN FOR A CRUCIFIX ROLL-UP!!!

Silas Mason: HUH?!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: HARPER STAYS ALIVE AND KICKS OUT! Pandora doesn’t let go of her arms though! She turns over just before Harper can get up and stands behind her, grabbing tightly onto the arms- AND YET AGAIN TRYING TO GO FOR THE “LOVE TAP!”

Silas Mason: ROLL THROUGH!

Gavin Kirkland: Just like last time, Harper jumps and then wraps her legs around Pandora’s waist, pulling her down for a Wheelbarrow Roll-Up!

Eve: Just for Pandora this time to roll the two of them forward again! JUMPING OUT OF HARPER’S GRASP- AND THEN DELIVERING A FOOTSTOMP DIRECTLY TOWARDS HARPER’S GUT! Deserved karma from before!

Silas Mason: This can’t be! She is reversing the counter-attacks?! IMPOSSIBLE!

Eve: It seems that Pandora ended up figuring out all of your stupid tricks, Silas Mason! 

Silas Mason: She can feel smart all she likes! She won’t be able to put away Harper when it most matters! I know that she is just running off adrenaline here, once she goes down, she won’t get back up! COME ON!

Deadprez: Pandora is not slowing down for anybody! She grabs Harper and then pulls her up to her feet here-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT HARPER AT THE LAST SECOND WAKES UP AND THEN CRACKS HER ON THE FACE WITH A WELL-PLACED HEADBUTT! Pandora wavers but she doesn’t go down, all while Harper pulls back- AND TRIES TO GO FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Eve: PANDORA DUCKS DOWN! As Harper spins around- STRAIGHT INTO A SLAP FROM PANDORA!!!

Deadprez: AND THEN A SECOND ONE RIGHT ACROSS HER FACE! JUST AS PANDORA TAKES A STEP BACK- AND THEN NAILS HER ON THE HEAD WITH A STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE!

Silas Mason: Hm?!

Gavin Kirkland: As Harper bounces off the ropes- STRAIGHT INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX FROM PANDORA! Harper goes down into a seated position just as Pandora pushes herself up and then runs forward, bouncing herself- AND THEN KNOCKING HER DOWN WITH A SLIDING LARIAT!

Silas Mason: Wha- Those are not moves she uses!!! She is using moves that aren’t from her arsenal to disorient Harper! Where did she learn those from???

Eve: I recognize those moves!

Silas Mason: Tell me!

Eve: No, because only a commentator would know :mjgrin:

Silas Mason: You damn little…!

Deadprez: Pandora can’t stop! She knows if she does, it might all be over! She lifts Harper yet again and then grabs tightly, as she irish whips her towards the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER SHOWS SOME LIFE, AS AT THE LAST MOMENT SHE JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND CORNER, TRYING TO GO FOR THE MOONSAULT AGAIN!

Eve: BUT PANDORA CATCHES UP TO HER BEFORE SHE CAN DO IT! She grabs her head and pulls her down hard with force, sticking her head in the corner just as she pulls back!

Deadprez: BEFORE LANDING A CHEEKY NANDOS KICK!!!

Eve: Enough of a hint for you, Silas?!

Silas Mason: This damn! HARPER!

Gavin Kirkland: She can’t hear you! Pandora is already climbing up the corner here and then grabbing Harper from the waist… FROM THE SECOND ROPE!

Eve: GERMAN SUPLEX FROM THE TOP! BOTH LADIES LAND HARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!

Deadprez: PANDORA TRIES TO GET UP!

Silas Mason: BUT YOU CAN’T KEEP A CHAMPION DOWN! HARPER PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN HERSELF AND THEN RUNS FORWARD FOR A SHINING WIZARD!

Eve: PANDORA DUCKS DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! IT’S A FEINT! SHE PULLS HER LEG BACK- AND SHE KICKS PANDORA THIS TIME RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH ALL THE FORCE THAT SHE HAS!

Deadprez: Damn it! Pandora’s body almost fully stops from that one!

Silas Mason: ENOUGH PLAYING AROUND, FINISH HER, HARPER!

Eve: The screams of our very annoying guest sadly reach Harper! As she grabs Pandora and then pulls her up to her feet, as yet again to the disapproval of the crowd, loud boos all across the arena! Come on, Pandora! HARPER PULLS HER UP!

Gavin Kirkland: “FINAL DESTINATION!!!”

Deadprez: IS NOT YET REACHED! PANDORA IS ABLE TO REVERSE IT INTO A HURRICANRANA AS SHE SENDS HARPER FLYING TOWARDS THE CORNER!

Eve: Harper is able to focus back and then get up, pushing herself off the corner she was thrown onto and then running towards a-

Deadprez: ”BOW DOWN TO THE KINK!!!!”

Silas Mason: NO!!!

Eve: THE SWINGING ELBOW HITS RIGHT ACROSS HARPER’S FACE! DARYL’S MOVE BRINGS PANDORA THE CHANCE THAT SHE NEEDED THE MOST! Pandora rises up yet again, screaming towards the roaring crowd, as they respond back with loud cheers!

Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) **”YOU’RE GOING DOWN, YOU CUNT!!!”**

Deadprez: PANDORA GRABS ONTO HARPER AND THEN PULLS HER UP WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS! SHE LIFTS HER UP!!!

Eve: “THE FALL!!!!” THE PILEDRIVER FROM HALSEY NEEL DRIVES HARPER’S HEAD DOWN RIGHT ONTO THE MAT!

Deadprez: PANDORA WITH THE MOVES OF HER FRIENDS AND PARTNERS TO END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL! SHE LEANS FORWARD AND PUTS ONE ARM OVER HARPER’S CHEST!

Silas Mason: No, no, no, COME ON! KICK OUT!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: …

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Referee: …

Referee: …

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: …

Referee: …

Referee: …

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER PUTS A SINGLE FINGER ON THE ROPES! NO FREAKING WAY! 

(All of that hard work quickly goes away once Pandora sees what happened, the fire in her eyes goes away momentarily as she rolls away from Harper, there was clear exhaustion on both women’s faces after everything that they have thrown towards each other, even if, they are finding it in themselves to somehow move.)

Eve: This has truly been a battle in every way, Pandora Paisley, Harper Lee. No matter their past, they are leaving it all tonight here in the present, to fight for their futures!

Deadprez: And the crowd knows damn well what future they want to shine the brightest!

Crowd: PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA! PANDORA!

Silas Mason: They will all end up eating their own words no matter how loud they chant! It is time for dreams to shatter!

Gavin Kirkland: Pandora rises up first! She looks towards the crowd chanting her name and she leans backwards, taking her distance here!

Eve: She kisses her fist… AND RUNS FORWARD!

Deadprez: JUST AS HARPER RISES TOO!

Silas Mason: BLOCK HER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: **”DRAGON FIST!!!”**

Eve: **”PANDORUM!!!”**

Deadprez: BOTH FISTS CLASH!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

(A scream rings out.)

Eve: HARPER SCREAMS! HER PUNCH WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH! HER ARM COLLAPSES AS SHE GRABS ONTO HER FIST IN GENUINE PAIN!

Deadprez: HER PUNCH COULD NOT MUSTER AGAINST ONE THAT HAS BEEN PERFECTED AND LIVED THROUGH LIFE FOR YEARS! PANDORA WITH ONE LAST BURST OF ENERGY FALLS BACK… AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HARPER CAN’T MOVE FROM THE PAIN!!!

Eve: A SECOND “PANDORUM” RIGHT TO HER JAW!!! HARPER COLLAPSES STRAIGHT ONTO THE MAT!!!

Deadprez: KNOCKED THE HELL OUT! KNOCKED HER ASS OUUUUUTTTTTTT!!! COME OOOON!!! PANDORA COLLAPSES AS WELL RIGHT ONTO HARPER LEE!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: ***HARPER LEE KICKS OUT AT 2.99999999999999 SECONDS!!!!!!! NO WAYYYYYY!!!***

(A silence befalls the whole crowd once Harper somehow musters yet another kickout, a tension in the air that has never been seen in quite a while, even all of the commentators look over in complete silence, Silas Mason fully standing up now with his hands behind the back of his head, genuine worry… and fear at his plan being completely ruined from one Hellcat.)

(And yet again, that Hellcat stands back up, despite it all. Just as the crowd cheers as loud as it could.)

Eve: Pandora… is back up! She is walking backwards towards the corner, her body looks like it is about to give out at any moment, but her expression hasn’t lost life yet!

Deadprez: There is still fight in her! There is still that fire! She won’t quit!

Gavin Kirkland: Harper is somehow finding it within herself to still move… these women kick so much ass…

Silas Mason: …

(Harper sits up, the camera focusing on her, her hair a complete mess, her eyes vacant as her body is trying to not shut down, a small trail of blood going down from her nose, and it even seemed like one of her teeth got chipped from how hard Pandora punched her in the face. Such a woman that admired the glory and has taken this path despite all the consequences, has left her in this kind of state.)

(And just as before, there won’t be any mercy from Pandora’s part.)

Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) There won’t be any more catastrophe for me… there will only be the triumph that I worked so hard for now. Let’s bloody end this.

Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA RUNS FORWARD!!!

Eve: ***”PANDORA’S BOX!!!!!!”***

Deadprez: THE KICK LANDS SQUARE ON HARPER’S FACE! HARPER COLLAPSES YET AGAIN TO THE MAT JUST AS PANDORA PULLS HERSELF FORWARD WITH ONE LAST PUSH!

Eve: THE REFEREE FALLS!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Deadprez: HARPER’S LEE’S FOOT ON THE ROPES! WAIT!?

(The crowd boos intently and loudly.)

Deadprez: LOOK! SOMEONE IN A HOODED SWEATER HAD JUMPED THE BARRICADE AND DID THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH HARPER’’S FOOT ON THE ROPE!? 

Eve: KENNEDY STREET SAID THAT NO MEMBER OF SILAS WORLD COULD INTERFERE SO RING THE BELL! WE HAVE A NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! 

Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT THE FACE OF PANDORA! SHE IS IN ABSOLUTE ANGER! SHE TURNS AND SEES THE HOODED FIGURE OUTSIDE THE RING AND SLIDES OUT! 

(Pandora slides out and confronts the hooded figure who has their arms up backing away.) 

Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!? 

(The hooded figure slowly takes off the hood as Pandora’s eyes just widen as she stands there frozen in shock, absolutely frozen.) 

Deadprez: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! 

Eve: WHY!? I MEAN JUST WHY!? 

Gavin Kirkland: IT IS PANDORA’S MENTOR, HER TRAINER! HER BEST FRIEND! THE WOMAN THAT BESTOWED “THE HELLCAT” MONIKER ON HER! IT IS REGAN STREET! 

https://media1.tenor.com/m/yKk5QDXw6OMAAAAC/eve-torreskisses-wwe.gif

(Pandora looks actually hurt, eyes starting to tear up some. Shaking in anger.) 

Pandora Paisley: (Off Mic) WHY!? 

Regan Street: (Off Mic) It is for your own good, trust me. 

(Pandora cannot believe what she is hearing. Regan doesn’t say anything else and instead just shakes her head when suddenly – ) 

Eve: HARPER LEE COMES FROM BEHIND AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE STRENGTH TO RECOVER ENOUGH AND KNEES PANDORA IN THE BACK CAUSE HER TO FLY RIGHT INTO THE STEEL POST! SHE CRACKED HER HEAD HARD AND STUMBLES BACK INTO REGAN WHO LOCKS IN –

Deadprez: THE KATAHAJAME! REGAN STREET WAS KNOWN FOR THAT MOVE! SHE IRONICALLY CALLED THE SWEET DREAMS LIKE THE TITLE SONG TO HARPER LEE’S THEME! PANDORA WAS STUNNED AND NOW REGAN HAS IT LOCKED AND LOOK AT HARPER! 

(Harper lifts Pandora’s legs so that she can’t even attempt to fight the hold as Paisley can barely fight back, she starts to go limp.) 

Eve: LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE BACK! 

(Footage in the back shows Donovan Duke attacking Daryl Kinkade who was trying to run out to the ring. Donovan is kicking him while he is down.) 

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE IS ASSAULTING DARYL KINKADE IN THE BACK WHILE THE REFEREE CAN DO NOTHING! IT IS NO DQ OR COUNTOUT AND THE SILAS MASON IS JUST STANDING THERE SMILING! 

(Pandora finally goes limp and both Harper and Regan throw her back in the ring. Regan nods as Harper fists bumps Street and rolls into the ring while Silas just smiles.)

Eve: NOT LIKE THIS, DAMN IT! 

Deadprez: PANDORA IS UNCONSCIOUS! AND HARPER FOR GOOD MEASURE IS SETTING HER UP FACE DOWN…. SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR! THE TRAPPED ARM CURB STOMP!

Gavin Kirkland: I MEAN SHE WAS ALREADY SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR BUT THIS IS THE EXCLAMATION POINT! IS THE HELLCAT GOING TO BE THE NEW MEMBER OF SILAS WORLD! 

Deadprez: LOOKS THAT WAY AND THIS IS OVER! HARPER DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER! 

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

(DING!!!! DING!!!!! DING!!!!!) 

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! HARPER LEE!!!!! AS THE STIPULATION STATES… PANDORA PAISLEY MUST NOW JOIN SILAS WORLD!!!! 

(“Sweet Dreams” starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd is raining boos all over the stadium. Harper Lee is slowly helped up and stumbles finally into the ropes as the adrenaline wore off. Silas Mason rolls into the ring as does Regan. They meet in the middle and shake hands.) 

Deadprez: THIS WAS A PLAN ALL ALONG! IT WAS A COLLUSION! AND THE MENTOR, THE ONE PERSON THAT PANDORA TALKS ABOUT ALL THE TIME AS HER INSPIRATION, THE REASON SHE BECAME A WRESTLER! BETRAYED BY THE ONE PERSON SHE BROKE BREAD WITH! 

Gavin Kirkland: BUT WAS IT A BETRAYAL!? OR WAS SHE TRYING TO HELP HER CAREER! SHE IS NOW PART OF SILAS WORLD! A WINNER! 

Eve: BLOW IT OUT OF YOUR ASS, GAVIN! THIS IS SICK! PLAIN AND SIMPLE! SICK! 

(Silas Mason raises the hand of Harper Lee after handing her the title. They stand over the unconscious Pandora Paisley who hasn’t moved. Silas then whispers something to Regan who nods.) 

Deadprez: AN INCREDIBLE MATCH RUINED BY THIS AND WE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SEEN A NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! SHE HAD HARPER LEE! AND I’M NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM HARPER, THE WOMAN CAN SURVIVE AN AIRPLANE CRASH,. BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IT! 

Eve: IT COULD HAVE BEEN! PANDORA PROVED THAT SHE IS A STAR IN ANY FACET OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, THAT MUCH SHE CAN TAKE BACK WITH HER BUT NOW SHE IS PART OF SILAS WORLD AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE BRITISH INVASION!!? 

Gavin Kirkland: THEY ARE DEAD THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS! WAIT…. WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?

(Silas Mason quickly slides out of the ring and grabs the ankles of Pandora, he pulls her out of the ring and lays her over his shoulder. She hasn’t moved since the choke out and curb stomp as he starts to run toward the back with Regan and Harper behind him.) 

Eve: ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!? THEY ARE TAKING OFF WITH HER IN TOW! LET’S FOLLOW THE CAMERA AS WE HAVE THEM IN THE BACK!

(The camera follows them through the backstage area. They make a beeline quickly to the loading dock, where there is a car waiting.) 

Gavin Kirkland: Can you do this in China? 

Eve: Are they abducting Pandora!? 

(Regan Street opens the back door and they lay Pandora in the back; Silas Mason quickly gets ion the front seat as Harper gets in the passenger and Regan in the back. They slam the door of the car just as we see Daryl Kinkade run out and the car peels off.) 

Daryl Kinkade: PANDORA…… FUCK BRUV! FUCK! 

(Daryl just stands there as Kennedy Street is now seen coming out as well with Alana. The anger in Kennedy’s face says it all.) 

Daryl Kinkade: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS STICKING! GET HER BACK! THAT WAS YOUR FAMILY!

Kennedy Street: Silas World didn’t interfere. Regan is not a contracted wrestler or talent here. Daryl, there is nothing I can do. She is part of Silas World now, but if they think that this is going to fly with me, they have another thing coming.

(Kennedy storms off while Daryl looks on in distress, not knowing what to do and just pacing back and forth in the warm night of Shanghai, beaten and bruised as the camera fades to ringside for the final match Graphic of the night.)

(The camera returns to ringside, and the steel cage for tonight’s main event has finally been lowered. The crowd is cheering loudly, and the camera pans to Gina Romano, who begins to speak with a microphone in her hand.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a STEEL CAGE MATCH, AND IT IS FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!

(The crowd cheers for the steel cage, but the cheers quickly go away as ‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits. Boos begin to fill the entire stadium, almost overpowering the music as Donovan Duke begins to walk out to the stage. Donovan is alone, but despite this he has a focused look on his face, one that is almost filled with rage given the history he has with Veena Adams. Wasting no time, he begins to walk down the ramp and towards the steel cage.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… From Stillwater, Oklahoma… Weighing in at 212 pounds… DOOOONNNNNOOOOOOVVVVVAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN DDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Donovan Duke is making his way out, and I imagine Silas Mason won’t be joining him tonight after what happened earlier. Honestly, that’s good for us. Donovan is a skilled competitor in his own right, but it’ll be good to see what happens once Silas isn’t there to bail him out.

Gavin Kirkland: Hmm, I’m not sure who I should root for here. I can’t turn my back on Silas World… But Veena Adams is Champion…

Eve: How about being an unbiased commentator for a change?

Gavin Kirkland: You know that’s not happening.

Eve: :francis: Well anyways, this match is the result of what took place at Pain for Pride when Veena Adams won the Answers World Championship in that incredible fatal four way. I imagine Donovan is more focused than ever now that this is probably his one chance to reclaim the title.

(As Donovan Duke waits inside of the steel cage, ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande hits. This causes the crowd to explode with cheers, and Donovan just shakes his head as the Answers World Champion begins to walk out to the stage. Veena Adams can be seen wearing her Championship around her waist, and she has a confident look on her face as she stares towards the steel cage, not bothered by the stipulation for this match as she appears ready to defend her Championship. Veena begins to make her way down the ramp, approaching the cage as the cheers continue.)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT… From Greenwich, Connecticut… Weighing in at 137 pounds… SHE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, VEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNAAAAA AAAAAAAAAADDDAAAAAAAAMMMSSSS!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Veena Adams is here, and you know she must be feeling confident tonight. She’s always said it herself, but she has a history of always defeating Donovan Duke in these big matches, as she even ended both of his Championship reigns.

Gavin Kirkland: I know! She’s so amazing… But Donovan is too! Silas World spent the entire first half of the year on top, I don’t think she’s gonna have the easiest time preventing Donovan from getting back on top! Although if she does win, I won’t mind.

Eve: Veena Adams is on her greatest ever run as a competitor and it resulted in her first ever World Championship win, although the Elitist she defeated was also a first-time World Champion. I think you can see why they’d both be as determined as possible to leave this match with the title.

Deadprez: That’s right, but only one can win, and it’s about time we see which one of these two Elitists that’ll be!

(Once both Elitists are in the cage and the Championship has been moved to the timekeepers area, the referee locks the cage door. After this, he finally calls for the bell.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Deadprez: LET’S GO! ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE AND WE’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME! VEENA AND DONOVAN RAN STRAIGHT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND THIS STEEL CAGE MATCH IS KICKING OFF WITH A BRAWL BETWEEN CHAMP AND CHALLENGER! WE ALREADY SAW VEENA TAKE THE TITLE FROM THIS MAN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE AND I THOUGHT THAT’D BE THE END OF IT, BUT THIS IS DONOVAN’S OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT ALL BACK!

Eve: Yeah, but this time he doesn’t have Silas Mason around to save him!

Gavin Kirkland: He doesn’t need Silas! Donovan is an amazing competitor, and Showdown just wouldn’t be the same without him!

Eve: You think so? Well the former World Champion you’re talking about is being backed to the ropes as Veena is just smashing forearms into his face- AND DONOVAN SWINGS AT VEENA, BUT VEENA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING IN AND DROPPING DONOVAN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! DONOVAN RUSHES TO HIS FEET, BUT VEENA TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SECOND ONE! DONOVAN STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER AND FALLS BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, ALLOWING VEENA TO RUN IN BEFORE HITTING DONOVAN WITH AN UPPERCUT! VEENA NOW WITH AN IRISH WHIP SENDING DONOVAN INTO THE ROPES!

Deadprez: AND AS DONOVAN BOUNCES OFF OF THEM, VEENA JUMPS AT HIM BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A THESZ PRESS, WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY STIFF PUNCHES DIRECTLY TO THE FACE THAT THE REF CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT! We may not see weapons real often in a steel cage match, but anything goes with this stipulation and that means these two have free reign to tear each other apart as much as they want!

Gavin Kirkland: :whew: Veena has just been an incredible Answers World Champion, hasn’t she? She’s on a roll right now and I think after all that offense, she’s feeling pretty fired up! Donovan was able to shove Veena off of her, BUT AS BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK UP, VEENA IS ABLE TO CATCH THE CHALLENGER WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, DROPPING DONOVAN DOWN TO ALL FOURS! VEENA NOW TAKING A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE RUNNING IN…

Eve: TO TRY AND KICK DONOVAN DUKE’S HEAD OFF WITH THE SKULL FRACTURE!

Deadprez: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! DONOVAN AVOIDS IT, AND BEFORE VEENA COULD REACT HE GETS UP AND GRABS VEENA, SENDING HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL CAGE!!! VEENA JUST HIT THAT CAGE HARD!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Yikes, Veena just fell backwards after hitting that cage, AND DONOVAN CATCHES HER, BEFORE SENDING HER BACKWARDS ONTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! I’d never turn my back on our former Answers World Champion, but he should really be a bit more careful! Did you see how hard Veena hit the cage? He could’ve done some serious damage to her face, and don’t forget what Xavier Williams did to her neck years ago! The last thing she needs is to have a similar injury right now!

Eve: Seriously, whose side are you on? Anyways, it’s looking like Donovan Duke may have just taken control of this one as he’s dragging Veena Adams up, possibly looking for a second German suplex, BUT VEENA IS STARTING TO FIGHT BACK! SHE’S THROWING BACK ELBOWS, TRYING TO PREVENT DONOVAN FROM CONNECTING WITH A SECOND ONE! VEENA WITH ONE MORE BACK ELBOW-

Deadprez: BUT DONOVAN DUCKS UNDER THIS ONE! VEENA TURNS TOWARDS DONOVAN AND HE GRABS ONTO HER ONCE MORE, BEFORE BACKING UP AND DELIVERING AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY, SENDING VEENA CRASHING INTO THE STEEL CAGE FOR A SECOND TIME AS VEENA ONCE AGAIN SUFFERS FROM A VERY BAD LANDING! I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE GUYS! THESE TWO ARE SOME REAL SKILLED WRESTLERS, BUT I DON’T THINK WE’LL BE SEEING TECHNIQUE TONIGHT AS MUCH AS WE’LL BE SEEING AN ALL-OUT FIGHT!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh no. Veena is stuck on the apron, laid out between the bottom rope and the steel cage.

Eve: Yeah, and this crowd is just letting Donovan Duke have it. It’s not often I hear boos this loud from the fans. It’s a shame they have to be directed towards someone who was once so beloved, but I think we all know that Donovan isn’t who he used to be anymore.

Deadprez: That’s right. These days he is the closest thing to heartless, AND NOW DONOVAN JUST STARTS PRESSING HIS BOOT AGAINST THE SIDE OF VEENA’S HEAD, CRUSHING IT AGAINST THE STEEL CAGE AS HE TAKES IN THE HATRED FROM THE CROWD!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA IS ON HER KNEES, TRYING TO GET HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING AS SHE SLOWLY PULLS DONOVAN’S FOOT OFF OF HER- BUT DONOVAN TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE DELIVERING A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, SENDING HER HEAD RIGHT INTO THE CAGE! Donovan drags Veena back into the ring after that, and he goes for the first cover of the match!

OOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTW-

Gavin Kirkland: YES, VEENA IS STILL IN THIS ONE! 

Eve: And Donovan Duke doesn’t look happy about it whatsoever. Donovan gets up, and he must already be scheming as he’s making his way over towards the corner of the ring. It looks like he isn’t interested in potentially leaving the cage just yet, as he instead is focusing on the turnbuckle. Donovan… Is removing the turnbuckle pad??

Deadprez: Donovan just ripped the padding off the top turnbuckle in the corner right by the door, and now he goes and grabs Veena! I think Donovan has some cruel intentions in mind as he lifts Veena onto his shoulder! I THINK HE’S LOOKING TO DELIVER A SNAKE EYES INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!

(*CRACK!*)

Gavin Kirkland: BUT VEENA JUST SLIPPED OUT OF DONOVAN’S GRASP, AND LANDED BEHIND DONOVAN BEFORE SHOVING DONOVAN FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL TURNBUCKLE HE JUST REMOVED THE PADDING FROM!!! 

Eve: DONOVAN IMMEDIATELY FALLS BACKWARDS, AND VEENA ADAMS WASTES NO TIME GRABBING DONOVAN BEFORE TURNING AND THROWING HIM INTO THE STEEL CAGE!!! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS BACK IN THIS, AND AS DONOVAN FALLS BACK INTO THE RING, IT’S LOOKING LIKE THE CHALLENGER IS IN TROUBLE! I DON’T THINK HE ACCOUNTED FOR HIS PLAN FALLING APART, AS YOU CAN ALREADY SEE BLOOD BEGINNING TO FALL DOWN DONOVAN’S FOREHEAD THANKS TO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!

Deadprez: VEENA IMMEDIATELY GRABS ONTO DONOVAN BEFORE DELIVERING THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX- WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE CROSS ARMBREAKER!!! THERE’S A SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO COMPETITORS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO STOP FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY FROM BEING LOCKED IN! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION MIGHT JUST HAVE THIS MATCH WON, AS HER CHALLENGER IS STILL ROCKED FROM GOING HEAD FIRST INTO STEEL!

Gavin Kirkland: No no NO!!!! 

Eve: ???

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA IS GONNA RIP DONOVAN’S ARM OFF IF THIS DOESN’T STOP!

Eve: So what?? After everything he’s done, can’t say he doesn’t deserve it.

Gavin Kirkland: YES WE CAN, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE IT! DONOVAN NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION ASAP! WE KNOW ANYTHING GOES IN A STEEL CAGE, SO I’M SURE VEENA WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM BREAKING DONOVAN’S ARM IF HE DOESN’T FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION SOON! VEENA IS AN EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND SKILLED TECHNICIAN, BUT DONOVAN IS A GREAT TECHNICIAN IN HIS OWN RIGHT, TOO!

Eve: Donovan Duke is coming to his senses and trying to push himself back up, BUT THANKS TO THAT, VEENA IS ABLE TO TRANSITION INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE! That might just be worse for Donovan, because all that blood is continuing to pour out of his head! I thought we were still in the early stages of this match, but Veena Adams played her cards perfectly and thanks to that she might just be able to retain her Championship in just a few short moments!

Deadprez: Donovan has that strength on his side, AND HE USES IT TO BEGIN POWERING VEENA ADAMS OFF OF THE MAT AS HE RETURNS TO HIS FEET! DONOVAN BEING FORCED TO DEADLIFT VEENA WHILE TRAPPED IN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! DONOVAN APPROACHES THE CAGE, AND WITH ONE LAST BURST OF ENERGY HE LIFTS VEENA UP BEFORE-

Gavin Kirkland: WOAH, LOOK AT THAT! VEENA JUST LET GO OF DONOVAN’S ARM AND GRABBED ONTO THE STEEL CAGE!! I THINK DONOVAN WAS LOOKING TO POWERBOMB VEENA INTO THE CAGE, BUT VEENA GRABBED ONTO IT AND SHE PULLS HERSELF ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Veena kicks Donovan away before he could try to stop her, AND NOW SHE GETS INTO POSITION BEFORE DIVING OFF THE CAGE WALL WITH A CROSSBODY!!!

Eve: BUT LOOK!!! DONOVAN DUKE ROLLS BACKWARDS ONTO A KNEE, AND HE IS HOLDING ONTO VEENA ADAMS!!! DONOVAN WAS ABLE TO CATCH VEENA, AND NOW HE LIFTS HER INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE CORNER WITH THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE, TURNING TO THE SIDE AS HE SENDS THE BACK OF VEENA’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE STEEL!!!! THAT WAS JUST VICIOUS FROM DONOVAN, WHO LIFTS VEENA OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE RING WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM!

Deadprez: Donovan is taking a moment to catch his breath and recover after everything that’s happened so far, but Veena Adams is in a really bad way right now. These two have both been able to find ways to get back into this, and I guess that’s to be expected when this is a match between the current and the previous Answers World Champion. Donovan gets up and grabs Veena Adams before beginning to back towards the corner where the door is… AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S AIMING TO SEND VEENA HEAD FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE WITH THE FALL FROM GRACE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THANKFULLY, VEENA IS ABLE TO PREVENT THAT! VEENA CONNECTED WITH AN ELBOW TO THE TOP OF DONOVAN’S HEAD JUST AS HE LIFTED HER UP, AND SHE SLIPS OFF OF DONOVAN’S SHOULDERS! VEENA STUMBLES BACK AND DONOVAN RUNS IN TO TRY AND TAKE HER OUT WITH A CLOTHESLINE- BUT VEENA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES-

Eve: AND DROPPING DONOVAN WITH A SPEAR!!! VEENA ADAMS CONNECTS WITH THE SPEAR, AND VEENA HOOKS THE LEGS TO END THIS STEEL CAGE MATCH AND RETAIN HER CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRREEE-

Deadprez: DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! This match is not over yet- BUT VEENA ADAMS IS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY STAY ON THE OFFENSIVE AS SHE DROPS A FIST RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE HEAD OF DONOVAN! Veena targeted that wound on Donovan’s forehead, and it looks like Veena has no problem matching the violence that Donovan has brought to this match. Of course, the blood on Donovan’s face should say it all, as he’s the only one actually bleeding right now! That’s the price to pay for introducing that exposed turnbuckle into the match, and I don’t think the Champion is finished yet!

Gavin Kirkland: You’re right, I think Veena has something else in mind! Veena drags Donovan over towards the ropes, AND NOW SHE GRABS HIS HEAD BEFORE BASHING HIS FACE AGAINST THE STEEL CAGE!! VEENA PRESSES DONOVAN’S FACE AGAINST THE CAGE, BEGINNING TO WIPE HIS FACE ACROSS THE CAGE AND THE STEEL CAGE BECOMES STAINED WITH BLOOD! COME ON DONOVAN, YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS! VEENA ISN’T MAKING THIS EASY FOR DONOVAN TO GET OUT OF, BUT DONOVAN WAS ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION FOR A REASON AND TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT HE GETS THAT TITLE BACK!

Eve: Gavin being unsure of who to root for aside, the challenger is definitely in a bad spot, as Veena finally pulls his face away from the cage! Veena grabs Donovan, AND SHE DELIVERS A KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE! Donovan falls down before quickly trying to push himself back up- BUT WHILE HE IS STILL KNEELING, VEENA BACKS UP BEFORE DELIVERING THE SCISSORS STOMP, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY AN ELBOW SMASH THAT CAUSES DONOVAN TO FALL BACKWARDS, DROPPING DOWN INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! Veena Adams continues to build momentum, and Donovan may have nowhere to go as Veena looks to run in from the opposite corner of the ring!

Deadprez: BUT SHE ENDS UP RUNNING RIGHT INTO A MICHINOKU DRIVER BY THE CHALLENGER, AS DONOVAN DUKE JUST PULLED THAT OUT OF NOWHERE! DONOVAN WITH THE COVER!!!!

OOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS KICKS OUT RIGHT AT TWO, AND DONOVAN ISN’T HAPPY ABOUT THAT WHATSOEVER! I think all that blood dripping down his face is starting to get to him! He wants to end this match in any way he can, and I think he’s taking the time to weigh his options right now as Veena Adams is using the ropes to attempt to pull herself up!

Gavin Kirkland: Donovan grabs Veena and begins to pull her in, AND I THINK HE’S AIMING TO SET UP FOR RUIN AND DEMISE, BUT VEENA FREES ONE OF HER ARMS BEFORE BEGINNING TO PUNCH DONOVAN IN THE RIBS! SHE’S STILL HURT FROM THAT MICHINOKU DRIVER SO THOSE MAY NOT BE THE STRONGEST PUNCHES, BUT THEY’RE STILL DOING THE DAMAGE AS DONOVAN IS FORCED TO LET GO OF HER- BUYING VEENA ENOUGH TIME TO GET UP AND HIT HIM WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! Donovan stumbles back, BUT HE RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE CHAMPION! VEENA RESPONDS BY HITTING DONOVAN WITH A PUNCH OF HER OWN-

Eve: BUT DONOVAN BLOCKS THAT BEFORE SWEEPING VEENA’S LEG! DONOVAN GRABS VEENA BY THE LEG, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE SETTING UP FOR AN ANKLE LOCK-

Deadprez: BUT AS SOON AS DONOVAN TURNS VEENA AROUND FOR IT VEENA IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD, CAUSING DONOVAN TO DO THE SAME AND RELEASE THE HOLD! BOTH ELITISTS START TO GET UP- EXCEPT VEENA IS ABLE TO BEAT DONOVAN TO THE PUNCH, ALLOWING HER TO GRAB ONTO DONOVAN’S LEG AS SHE SETS UP A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DONOVAN WAS PREPARED FOR THAT AS WELL, AS HE QUICKLY USES HIS SIZE ADVANTAGE TO TURN OVER ONTO HIS BACK, BEFORE KICKING VEENA OFF OF HIM! VEENA ROLLS BACKWARDS AS DONOVAN PUSHES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET- AND AS VEENA RAN AT HIM, DONOVAN WAS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND AND APPLY A REAR NAKED CHOKE!!

Eve: BUT THIS DOESN’T LAST LONG EITHER, AS VEENA IS ABLE TO DROP DOWN AND PULL DONOVAN OFF OF HER WITH A SNAPMARE! BOTH ELITISTS KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL AND ARE USING THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH EACH OTHER TO THEIR ADVANTAGE- BUT IT LOOKS LIKE VEENA MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE BETTER OF DONOVAN AS SHE IS ABLE TO QUICKLY KICK HIM IN THE MIDSECTION! VEENA GRABS DONOVAN, BEFORE GOING FOR THE THUMBS UP!!!

Deadprez: IT DOESN’T CONNECT! DONOVAN WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE LIFTING VEENA INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!!! DONOVAN HAS VEENA UP IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY- BUT THIS TIME DONOVAN PLANTS VEENA WITH THE CHANGE OF HEART!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: YES!!!! THE CHANGE OF HEART CONNECTS ON VEENA ADAMS, AND DONOVAN DUKE IS ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN!!! DONOVAN HOOKS THE LEG, AND THAT HAS TO BE IT!

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHRRRRRRRRR-

Gavin Kirkland: YES!!!! VEENA ADAMS KICKED OUT!!!! THIS MATCH ISN’T OVER YET, AND VEENA ISN’T LETTING GO OF HER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THAT EASILY!!!!

Eve: Yeah, but Donovan Duke is in pure disbelief. This match clearly didn’t turn out exactly how he thought it would, and now he must be wondering what he should do. Remember, Veena Adams is the woman that ended BOTH of Donovan’s Championship reigns in EAW. You can almost consider her his kryptonite, so imagine what must be running through his head knowing she just won’t stay down.

(Donovan Duke sits up, and he is growing increasingly frustrated knowing that after all this, Veena Adams still won’t stay down. He remains seated, shaking his head as he is beginning to wonder what his next course of action should be. However, after some time, an idea appears to have crossed his mind, as he looks at Veena Adams with a grin on his face.)

Deadprez: DONOVAN DUKE IS STORMING TOWARDS THE DOOR!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO WAY! VEENA ADAMS IS STILL DOWN, AND NOW DONOVAN IS YELLING AT THE REFEREE TO OPEN THE CAGE DOOR! THAT’S ONE OF THE TWO WAYS YOU CAN EXIT THE CAGE, AND BY EXITING THE CAGE, DONOVAN BECOMES ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AGAIN! 

Eve: THE REFEREE IS OPENING THE DOOR! NO, NOT LIKE THIS! DONOVAN COULDN’T PIN VEENA, BUT IT WON’T MATTER AS WE MIGHT GO RIGHT BACK TO DONOVAN DUKE HOLDING THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!

(The fans are booing as loud as they can as the cage door is opened. Donovan Duke’s face is covered with blood by this point, and he couldn’t care less about the hostility coming from the fans. He laughs, before beginning to step out of the cage.)

Deadprez: NO!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S NOT OVER YET!!!!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS WAS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO DONOVAN DUKE JUST AS HE BEGAN TO STEP THROUGH THE ROPES!!!! VEENA ADAMS STOPPED DONOVAN FROM EXITING THE CAGE!!!!!

Deadprez: VEENA DRAGS DONOVAN BACK INTO THE RING, CAUSING DONOVAN TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS ONTO HIS KNEES!! DONOVAN DUKE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! HE THOUGHT VEENA ADAMS WAS DONE AND THAT HE COULD JUST WALK RIGHT OUT OF THE CAGE, BUT IT WON’T BE THAT EASY!

Gavin Kirkland: AND VEENA MAKES DONOVAN PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE, AS SHE RUNS AT HIM BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH THE SKULL FRACTURE!!!! THE SKULL FRACTURE CONNECTS!!!! VEENA ADAMS JUST PUNTED DONOVAN DUKE! THE FORMER CHAMP IS KNOCKED OUT, AND THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN!!!!

Eve: DONOVAN TRIED TO ESCAPE THE CAGE, AND THAT PLAN MAY HAVE JUST BACKFIRED MASSIVELY!!!! ALL OF THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE ARE CHEERING VEENA ON, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH MAY BE COMING TO AN END!!!

(One last smirk appears on the face of Veena Adams as she sees Donovan Duke laid out on the mat, knowing that unlike her, he is in no condition to prevent her from escaping the cage.)

Deadprez: VEENA TURNS TOWARDS THE DOOR AND MAKES HER WAY OUT OF THE CAGE!

(*CRASH!*)

Deadprez: :krabs:

Gavin Kirkland: YES!!!!!

Eve: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? HE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!! HE LEFT WITH HARPER LEE AND REGAN STREET TAKING PANDORA OUT OF HERE! 

Deadprez: SILAS MASON JUST SWUNG THE CAGE DOOR INTO VEENA ADAMS’ FACE AS HARD AS HE COULD JUST AS SHE WAS LOOKING TO EXIT THE CAGE!!

Gavin Kirkland: I KNEW HE WOULDN’T LET US DOWN!!!! SILAS JUST SLID SOMETHING TO DONOVAN DUKE WHO IS ONLY JUST NOW BEGINNING TO RECOVER! THANK GOD FOR SILAS MASON!!!?

Eve: Veena Adams is stunned after having that steel cage door sent directly into her face. It looks like Silas came through the crowd so he wouldn’t have been spotted. I hate to admit it, but that was smart on his part. Veena Adams is stumbling back to her feet, and- 

(*CRACK!*)

Deadprez: IT LOOKS LIKE WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SILAS SLID INTO THE RING!!!! DONOVAN JUST PUNCHED VEENA IN THE JAW WITH BRASS KNUCKLES!!!! DONOVAN DUKE WITH OLE RELIABLE, KNOWING THAT ANYTHING GOES IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH AND HE DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO HIDE THE BRASS KNUCKLES! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! 

Gavin Kirkland: BUT I CAN!!! DONOVAN DUKE PULLS VEENA ADAMS IN, AND HE DROPS HER ON HER HEAD WITH RUIN AND DEMISE!!!!!! RUIN AND DEMISE CONNECTS, AND DONOVAN DUKE DROPS DOWN ONTO VEENA FOR THE COVER!!! WE HAVE A NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!! 

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Eve: OH MY GOD!!!! VEENA ADAMS GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!! VEENA GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!

Deadprez: IT’S NOT OVER!!!! VEENA ADAMS IS STILL IN THIS!!!!! SILAS AND DONOVAN BOTH THOUGHT THIS MATCH WAS OVER, BUT THEY WERE WRONG!!!!! HOW THE HELL DID VEENA ADAMS KICK OUT OF THAT!!!????

Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:

Eve: Silas Mason looks like he has seen a ghost right now. Donovan is looking at Silas, and I don’t think either of them can believe things ended up like this! 

Deadprez: Silas is yelling at the referee and demanding for the door to be opened again, but I don’t think Donovan is in any condition to try and escape right now! Donovan is still feeling the effects of being punted in the head! That shot with the brass knuckles was the best chance they had, and it wasn’t enough! 

Gavin Kirkland: That’s because it’s Veena Adams he’s facing! Did you forget??? She’s the Answers World Champion for a reason, and she has no intentions of dropping that title anytime soon!

Eve: I’m getting tired of you switching sides, but you’re right. Veena is at her best right now. Donovan Duke is only just now pushing himself to a knee, and he tells Silas not to bother with the door. It looks like he has an idea in mind, as he begins to drag Veena Adams up- BEFORE ONCE AGAIN PUNCHING VEENA WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES! DONOVAN WITH A SECOND BRASS KNUCKLES SHOT, AND NOW THERE’S A THIRD! A FOURTH! DONOVAN CONTINUES TO DELIVER SHOTS WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES, UNTIL FINALLY HE DRAWS BLOOD!

Deadprez: DONOVAN GOT SOME PAYBACK AS VEENA ADAMS NOW HAS BLOOD BEGINNING TO POUR DOWN HER FACE, AND NOW DONOVAN LIFTS VEENA UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE HAS HER IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY ONCE MORE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE SETTING UP FOR-

Gavin Kirkland: WOAH, WAIT A SECOND!!!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF DONOVAN’S GRASP, GRABBING ONTO HIS ARM IN THE PROCESS!!

Deadprez: KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THE KIMURA LOCK IS LOCKED IN, AND DONOVAN DUKE IS IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE!!! DONOVAN WASN’T ABLE TO REMAIN ON HIS FEET! BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT AS DONOVAN IS TRAPPED IN THE KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY, AND IN A MATCH LIKE THIS, HE CAN’T RELY ON A ROPEBREAK TO ESCAPE THE SUBMISSION!

Eve: THAT’S RIGHT, WHICH MEANS THAT IF DONOVAN ISN’T OUT OF THIS ONE SOON, HE MAY HAVE TO KISS HIS CHANCES OF RECLAIMING THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOODBYE!!! VEENA ADAMS HAD JUST ABOUT NOTHING LEFT, BUT THAT ONE SMALL OPPORTUNITY ALLOWED HER TO APPLY THE KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!! A MOVE LIKE THIS CAN BE APPLIED IN ANY POSITION TOO, MEANING THAT HER LIKELY BEING UNABLE TO STAND RIGHT NOW WON’T BE A HINDRANCE!

Deadprez: Yeah, but what might be a hindrance is the fact that Donovan is still the larger competitor! Donovan is trying to slowly push his way towards the door while in the submission, and I’ll admit, I’m not sure what he is trying to accomplish here! Donovan can’t use the ropes to break this up, and I don’t think trying to escape through the door would be smart when Veena is under him and could easily get out of the cage before him!

Gavin Kirkland: Well Donovan is definitely thinking of something, and whatever it is needs to happen quickly as Veena Adams is not letting up with this submission! VEENA PULLS BACK ON DONOVAN’S ARM EVEN HARDER, AND DONOVAN SCREAMS IN PAIN! I DON’T THINK HE CAN SURVIVE THIS FOR MUCH LONGER!!

Eve: OH COME ON!

Deadprez: SO THAT WAS THE PLAN! SILAS MASON GRABBED ONTO VEENA’S HAIR, AND JUST STARTED PULLING IT AS HARD AS HE CAN THROUGH THE CAGE DOOR!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, AND THANKS TO HIM BEING THE LARGER ELITIST, THAT BRIEF MOMENT OF PAIN GAVE DONOVAN THE CHANCE TO BREAK OUT OF THE SUBMISSION!

Eve: Donovan rolls away from Veena while holding his arm, and now that she was forced to release the hold, Veena pulls herself away from the cage door! Veena is staring daggers into Silas Mason, and I can’t read minds, but right now she probably wants that door opened just so she can kill Silas.

Deadprez: Yeah, but Veena is smart and knows better than to keep letting these distractions get to her, especially when she knew heading into this match exactly what to expect. Veena drags herself back up, AND SHE RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A BOOT TO DONOVAN’S HEAD, JUST AS HE WAS TRYING TO GET BACK UP!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA GRABS DONOVAN, AND LOOK HOW SMART OUR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS! SHE JUST SENT DONOVAN INTO THE CORNER OPPOSITE THE DOOR, SO HE CAN’T ESCAPE NOR BE HELPED BY SILAS! VEENA RUNS IN, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, BEFORE TURNING AND BEGINNING TO STOMP AWAY AT DONOVAN, CONTINUING TO BOOT AWAY AT HIM UNTIL HE DROPS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION! DONOVAN CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS! VEENA IS JUST STOMPING AWAY AT DONOVAN, BEFORE FINALLY SHE BEGINS TO TAKE NOTICE OF SOMETHING! Uh oh… This can’t be good for Donovan and Silas, I don’t think they were prepared for this!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS HAS THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!! VEENA GOT HER HANDS ON THE BRASS KNUCKLES, AND I THINK SILAS MIGHT BE REGRETTING BRINGING THAT INTO THE MATCH RIGHT ABOUT NOW!

Deadprez: VEENA DRAGS DONOVAN OUT OF THE CORNER, BEFORE DELIVERING ANOTHER FIST DROP TO THE FOREHEAD OF DONOVAN, THIS TIME USING THE BRASS KNUCKLES! VEENA STAYS ON TOP OF DONOVAN, CONTINUING TO DELIVER PUNCHES TO THE HEAD WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES! DONOVAN IS TRYING TO COVER HIMSELF UP, BUT THAT FIRST FIST DROP ALREADY LEFT HIM DAZED! DONOVAN IS REALLY STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW! 

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA CONTINUES TO POUND AWAY AT DONOVAN’S HEAD WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES, UNTIL FINALLY SHE THROWS THEM AWAY AND BEGINS TO DRAG DONOVAN UP! VEENA ADAMS NOW WITH THE THUMBS UP, DROPPING DONOVAN DUKE!! VEENA ADAMS IS IN FULL CONTROL OF THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW! SHE ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER, BUT IT MAY NOT MATTER AS DONOVAN DUKE APPEARS TO BE DOWN AND OUT, COVERED IN HIS OWN BLOOD AS THAT WOUND ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD IS ONLY GETTING WORSE, STARTING TO SPILL BLOOD ONTO THE REST OF HIS BODY!

Eve: Veena Adams drags Donovan Duke up before lifting him onto the top turnbuckle, AND SHE PUTS HIM INTO A TREE OF WOE POSITION! VEENA ADAMS BEGINS TO CLIMB UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND ONCE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, SHE BEGINS TO SLOWLY PULL HERSELF A BIT HIGHER UP THE CAGE WALL! DONOVAN GRABS ONTO THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH ARMS TO TRY AND LIFT HIS HEAD UP, BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT CALL!

Deadprez: IT DEFINITELY ISN’T, BECAUSE VEENA JUST DOVE OFF THE CAGE WALL AND RIGHT INTO DONOVAN’S CHEST!!!

Gavin Kirkland: “LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS”!!!!!!!!

Eve: WAIT, WAIT NO IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!!!

Deadprez: DONOVAN REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENED AND LET GO OF THE TOP ROPE TO FALL BACK!!! DONOVAN AVOIDS THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, AND AS VEENA DOVE OFF THE CAGE, HE MANAGED TO GRAB ONTO ONE OF HER LEGS!

Gavin Kirkland: YEAH, BEFORE PULLING VEENA INTO A MODIFIED ANKLE LOCK!!!!! DONOVAN IS STILL TRAPPED IN THE TREE OF WOE, BUT THANKS TO THE SIZE AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCE HE WAS ABLE TO PULL VEENA’S ANKLE INTO HIS GRASP, HOLDING HER IN AN ANKLE LOCK WHILE UPSIDE DOWN! WE KNEW THESE TWO WERE BOTH SKILLED TECHNICIANS ABOVE ALL ELSE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE CURRENTLY SEEING THAT AS VEENA’S ATTEMPT TO END THIS JUST WENT SIDEWAYS!

Eve: DONOVAN IS STRUGGLING WHILE HOLDING THE ANKLE LOCK, SLOWLY BUT SURELY FREEING HIS LEGS FROM THE TOP ROPE! VEENA ADAMS IS IN A TOUGH SPOT RIGHT NOW, AS WHILE DONOVAN ISN’T IN A GOOD PLACE HAVING THE BLOOD RUSH TO HIS HEAD WHILE IN THE TREE OF WOE, VEENA CAN’T GO ANYWHERE AS LONG AS HE IS STUCK THERE! UNLESS DONOVAN CAN GET OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, THIS MAY HAVE BECOME A BATTLE OF ATTRITION!

Deadprez: DONOVAN IS CONTINUING TO TRY AND FREE HIS LEGS AS BLOOD BEGINS TO DRIP ONTO THE MAT, MEANWHILE VEENA ADAMS IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE CAN DO, KNOWING THAT SHE CAN’T MOVE MUCH WHILE THE TREE OF WOE HAS LEFT DONOVAN STUCK THERE!

Gavin Kirkland: This isn’t good! If this continues, I’m not sure what’ll happen! Donovan could end up losing his strength, but Veena could end up tapping out! I think Donovan is still trying to free his legs from the turnbuckles, but can he do it!?

Eve: I’m not sure! I don’t think Donovan is gonna be able to get off the top turnbuckle, but Veena looks like she might have to do it! I THINK SHE’S GONNA HAVE TO-

Deadprez: WAIT, LOOK AT VEENA! SHE PRESSES HER HANDS TO THE MAT TO PUSH HERSELF UP, BEFORE FINALLY SHE LIFTS UP HER FREE LEG BEFORE KICKING DONOVAN IN THE HEAD!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ROLLS AWAY FROM THE CORNER HOLDING HER BAD LEG, AND NOW FINALLY DONOVAN SLOWLY FALLS OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, FREE FROM THE TREE OF WOE BUT NOT THROUGH HIS OWN EFFORTS! BOTH ELITISTS ARE LOOKING OUT OF IT! HOW THE HELL ARE THEY STILL GOING AFTER EVERYTHING WE’VE JUST SEEN BETWEEN THESE TWO!?

Eve: Both Elitists slowly begin to find their way back to their feet, and it’s surprising seeing that, as I don’t think either of them even know where they are right now! Veena and Donovan slowly begin to walk towards each other, both stumbling more than they are walking, both from the blood loss, and in Veena’s case the fact that she was in an ankle lock for so long!

Deadprez: The two make it towards each other, AND VEENA ELBOWS DONOVAN IN THE FACE! DONOVAN DOES HIS BEST TO STAND HIS GROUND, BUT I THINK HE’S PARTIALLY BEING SAVED BY THE FACT THAT VEENA IS JUST AS EXHAUSTED AS HE IS! DONOVAN FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM, AND NOW VEENA DELIVERS ANOTHER ELBOW! THESE TWO ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, BOTH ELITISTS TRADING BLOWS WITH BASICALLY NOTHING LEFT IN THEM-

Gavin Kirkland: FORCE OF WILL!!!

Eve: NO! DONOVAN TRIED TO CATCH VEENA BY SURPRISE WITH THE SPINNING BACKFIST, BUT VEENA DUCKED UNDER IT!

Deadprez: AND VEENA CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE, CAUSING DONOVAN TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS, LOSING HIS FOOTING AS HE STUMBLES TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! BOTH ELITISTS ARE TAKING THE TIME TO TRY AND CATCH THEIR BREATH, KNOWING THAT THIS BIT OF DISTANCE IS THE ONLY CHANCE THEY MAY GET TO RECOVER! These two have been going at it nonstop. I don’t know what more they can do to each other!

(The two Elitists stare at each other, both still on their feet, though not unassisted as they both hold onto the ropes on their respective sides of the ring. Veena Adams slowly takes a few steps forward, letting go of the ropes as she appears ready to finish this.)

(However, Donovan Duke looks at his hand, which is now covered in his own blood. Donovan takes a moment to think, before turning and looking at the cage wall.)

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE JUST STARTED CLIMBING UP THE STEEL CAGE!!

Eve: NO WAY, THAT COWARD! VEENA WAS STILL STANDING, BUT DONOVAN IS TRYING TO WIN THIS ONE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE REALIZED THAT THE BEST WAY FOR HIM TO DO THIS IS BY CLIMBING OUT OF THE CAGE!

Deadprez: I CAN’T SAY IT ISN’T SMART, EITHER! VEENA IS RUSHING OVER TOWARDS HIS SIDE OF THE RING, BUT SHE’S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CLIMB AS FAST AS HIM THANKS TO THAT DAMAGE TO HER LEG!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena dropped to a knee after making it over towards the ropes, BUT SHE PUSHES HERSELF BACK UP, AND SHE BEGINS TO CLIMB UP THE STEEL CAGE! DONOVAN IS APPROACHING THE TOP, BUT VEENA IS NOT FAR BEHIND, AND ONCE SHE GETS CLOSE ENOUGH, SHE GRABS ONTO DONOVAN’S LEG TO PREVENT HIM FROM GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAGE!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS MAKES IT TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE, BUT DONOVAN IS ALREADY THERE AND HE GRABS VEENA BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A RIGHT HAND! VEENA WAS ROCKED BY THAT ONE, BUT SHE REMAINS ON TOP OF THE CAGE! SHE’S NOT WILLING TO LOSE HER CHAMPIONSHIP THAT EASILY!

Deadprez: VEENA LANDED A LEFT, AND THAT DAZED DONOVAN!!! BOTH ELITISTS ARE IN A REALLY TOUGH SPOT RIGHT NOW, AND IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG RIGHT NOW, WE MAY BE SEEING THE END OF THE MATCH! THIS WILL DETERMINE WHETHER VEENA RETAINS OR IF DONOVAN RECLAIMS THE TITLE! DONOVAN LANDS A RIGHT, BUT VEENA RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER LEFT! 

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN PUNCHES VEENA AGAIN, AND BEFORE SHE COULD FALL BACKWARDS, HE GRABS HER BY THE HAIR! DONOVAN IS HOLDING ONTO VEENA, AND HE DELIVERS PUNCH AFTER PUNCH! DONOVAN IS JUST WAILING ON THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION WITH THESE PUNCHES, AND WITH THE STATE THAT SHE IS IN, I DON’T THINK VEENA HAS AN ANSWER FOR THIS! DONOVAN KEEPS GOING, AND-

(*CRACK!*)

Gavin Kirkland: :krabs:

Eve: IT LOOKS LIKE SHE DID HAVE AN ANSWER AFTER ALL! VEENA ADAMS HAD THE BRASS KNUCKLES WITH HER AS SHE CLIMBED UP THE CAGE, AND SHE JUST PUNCHED DONOVAN DUKE IN THE JAW WITH THEM ON HER RIGHT HAND!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ADAMS GRABS DONOVAN DUKE, BEFORE THROWING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!!!!!

(The crowd explodes with cheers as Donovan Duke crashes onto the mat. Donovan is motionless, and Veena Adams is taking the opportunity to catch her breath, knowing that she is as close as possible to making it out of the cage. Before Veena Adams can begin climbing out of the cage however, another loud reaction can be heard from the crowd. Unlike the last one, this one is full of nothing but loud boos.)

Eve: Wow. Just when I thought I’ve seen everything.

Deadprez: SILAS MASON IS ON THE SIDE OF THE CAGE!! SILAS IS CLIMBING UP THE STEEL CAGE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE LAST RESORT FOR SILAS, WHO KNOWS THAT DONOVAN CAN’T STOP VEENA ANYMORE! 

Gavin Kirkland: SILAS STRUGGLES, BUT HE PULLS HIMSELF UP TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE BEFORE HITTING VEENA WITH A PUNCH! VEENA IS STILL NOT IN THE CLEAR YET, AS SILAS IS BUYING DONOVAN TIME TO GET BACK UP!

Eve: VEENA SHAKES OFF THAT PUNCH FROM SILAS, BUT WHILE SILAS ISN’T EXACTLY THE SAME PHYSICAL THREAT THAT DONOVAN DUKE IS, VEENA IS STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MATCH! SILAS IS TRYING TO STOP VEENA FROM CLIMBING OUT THE CAGE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, AS HE GRABS VEENA-

Deadprez: BUT VEENA BREAKS OUT OF SILAS’ GRASP, AND NOW LOOK!

Gavin Kirkland: KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!!!! VEENA ADAMS HAS THE KIMURA LOCK APPLIED ON SILAS MASON, AS SHE SLOWLY DRAGS SILAS OVER THE TOP OF THE STEEL CAGE, AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAGE WITHIN THE RING!!!!

Eve: I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT’S BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO COME SILAS’ WAY! SHE SHOULD BREAK HIS ARM!

Deadprez: VEENA IS SLOWLY SHIFTING SILAS’ POSITION AS SHE HAS HIM TRAPPED IN THE KIMURA LOCK, BUT WHAT IS SHE THINKING!? SILAS ISN’T AN ACTIVE COMPETITOR!

(As the submission hold continues, Donovan Duke slowly begins to make his way back to his feet. It took him a while, but it turns out that Silas Mason had bought him just enough time to push himself up.)

Gavin Kirkland: I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT!

(Before Donovan could even find the strength to move from his spot, he looks upwards, giving him just enough time to see something falling towards him.)

Deadprez: VEENA JUST SHOVED SILAS MASON OFF OF THE STEEL CAGE, SENDING SILAS CRASHING RIGHT INTO DONOVAN DUKE, WHO HAD JUST MANAGED TO GET BACK UP THANKS TO ALL THE TIME SILAS BOUGHT HIM!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: SILAS MASON AND DONOVAN DUKE ARE BOTH DOWN INSIDE OF THE RING, AND WHILE SILAS MASON AND SILAS WORLD’S FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION ARE BOTH TRAPPED IN THE CAGE, VEENA ADAMS FINALLY BEGINS TO CLIMB OUT OF IT!

Eve: VEENA ADAMS CLIMBS DOWN THE CAGE, LOWERING HERSELF TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE CAGE AS DONOVAN AND SILAS STILL HAVE YET TO MOVE! THOSE TWO THREW BASICALLY EVERYTHING THEY COULD AT VEENA, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WASN’T ENOUGH!

Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS MAKES IT TO THE LOWER HALF OF THE CAGE, BEFORE FINALLY SHE JUST LETS GO, FALLING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER! VEENA ADAMS RETAINS!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AAAANNDDDDDD SSSSSTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLL THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….. VVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDAAAAAAMMMSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

(The crowd is once again as loud as possible, cheering so much that it overpowers ‘7 Rings’ as it begins to play. Donovan Duke and Silas Mason are both laid out inside of the cage. Neither man has moved, but blood is still covering the face of Donovan Duke, who has an empty look on his face staring up into the sky, not even having the strength to react to his loss. The camera cuts towards Veena Adams, and while there’s not much movement coming from her either, Veena is able to push herself up just enough to sit against the ring. Blood is falling down her face as well, and it takes her a while, but a faint smile slowly crawls onto her face after retaining her Championship.)

Deadprez: YES! I know we’re supposed to be unbiased on commentary here, but Veena Adams stopped Donovan Duke from reclaiming the Answers World Championship, and I think that was the best outcome possible! The last thing we needed was Silas World in possession of that Championship again, but thankfully Veena was able to stop that even after Silas himself interfered!

Gavin Kirkland: Wow… Donovan Duke couldn’t bring the Answers World Championship back to Silas World…

Eve: …You okay?

Gavin Kirkland: OF COURSE I AM! VEENA ADAMS IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, I HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER! Don’t get me wrong, I’ll never doubt Donovan Duke! As your fellow member of Silas World I’m sure he’s going to bounce back before you know it, but I would be fine with Veena holding that title forever! She’s just-

Eve: Alright, you said enough. On a less annoying note, this match really was a war for the Answers World Championship. Donovan Duke, as frustrating as his tactics can be, is a very skilled competitor in his own right. In the end it looks like Veena Adams still has his number though, and shows everyone exactly why she’s the Answers World Championship!

Deadprez: That’s right. Donovan and Silas World believed that Veena only became Champion because Veena pinned Milli Banks rather than Donovan at Pain for Pride, but it looks like that wasn’t the case. Congratulations to Veena Adams, the Answers World Champion!

(The referee brings Veena the Answers World Championship, handing it to her as she remains seated on the ringside floor. Veena stares at the Championship, a look of relief on her face before she slowly begins to drag herself up to her feet. Silas is already sitting up barely able to get up checking on Donovan who has decided to just lay there glaring up at the sky still. Veena uses the steel cage to stand for a while, before she slowly begins to finally take steps away from it, standing on her own as she raises her Answers World Championship to more cheers. The camera gives one more look at the Answers World Champion, who stands tall as the winner as the camera begins fading to black.)
