(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera opens up to a shot of a desolate wasteland. Dark, heavy storm clouds swirl violently overhead, as crimson lightning is seen flashing in the distance. In the center of the ruins stands a massive Doomsday Clock. As the hand slowly begins to tick closer and closer to midnight, a shadowy figure is seen watching it.)
Narrator: The universal sound of inevitability. Time is the one opponent no Elitist can outrun, no matter how fast they sprint, or no matter how hard they fight.
(Quickshots are shown of footage between David Gideon Smith, Kirk Redwood, and Holly Arrow. All of them battling and going back and forth with one another in a chaotic firefight.)
Narrator: When the end of days approaches, desperation takes hold. The ground beneath them fractures. Survival becomes the only currency that matters, and every man and woman must fight for their patch of earth.
(The camera shows Mia Santoro and Jamie Valdez, as their distinct personalities have brought them together into a new alliance, stare down Anna Wautier and Winona Hendrickson, both looking united. The camera then transitions over to a pair of wings touching down on the ground, as Raven Roberts lands and eyes across the field the chaotic, unblinking KASAI, who flashes a terrifying grin toward her.)
Narrator: In the face of oblivion, some seek strength in numbers, forging their bonds in the fire. Others? They embrace the chaos. They let the madness of the apocalypse fuel their deepest, darkest instincts.
(The Doomsday clock ticks even louder. The camera focuses on the Interwire Championship, as it goes down to show BRAE, a dominant Champion, looking more than ready to defend his title. Across from him, is Effy McAvoy, as Ahren Fournier walks up and whispers something in her ear, something that brings her great satisfaction to hear.)
Narrator: Because when the world as we know it threatens to collapse, the gold around one’s waist is the only true shield. But to keep it… one must be willing to sacrifice everything and trust absolutely no one.
(The sky begins to turn darker, as the clock continues to tick, signaling the battle of Drake King, Rex McAllister, Methuselah, Cy Henderson, and Limmy Monaghan to commence. Quickshots of the past Iron Survivor matches are shown, before the World Heavyweight Championship is seen glimmering in the distance.)
Narrator: Only the ultimate survivors can navigate the fallout. Five men. One iron will. Tonight, they will be pushed past their breaking points, enduring unimaginable agony, all for the right to be called the Number One Contender. Who has the endurance to outlast the end of the world?
(Finally, the Doomsday clock strikes midnight. And as an alarm blares, out from the wreckage is Kassidy Heart, as The Mauler stands ready for a fight. She stares down the undeniable king of the wasteland, Michael Machina, who drops his title down to the ground. Both of them charge at one another, as they collide in a massive explosion of force.)
Narrator: When the clock finally strikes zero… when the dust settles and the ashes fall… who will stand upon the rubble as the ruler of the new world? The end isn’t coming… it is already here.
(The shot then pans up from the ruins back to the clock, as the sky turns pitch black with lighting continuing to erupt behind it.)
Narrator: Welcome to… OPERATION: DOOMSDAY!
(The scene fades to black to the sound of a final ticking clock, followed by a sudden flatline.)
(https://i.ibb.co/3Y97WD7j/EAW-OPERATION-DOOMSDAY-2026-POSTER.png)
(The camera then opens up to show Dodgers Stadium, as pyro is seen immediately erupting out from the stage. The crowd here tonight in Los Angeles erupts into thunderous cheers as the camera pans around, showing the energy here tonight. Before long, it then goes over to the commentary table, where Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are seen standing by.)
Stew-O: The time for talk is finally over! We are LIVE here tonight in Los Angeles, California welcoming you all to OPERATION: DOOMSDAY!
Flannery McCoy: And what a lineup we have for you here tonight! All the top prizes on Friday Night Dynasty are on the line, our trademark Iron Survivor match is back, with the winner getting a Number One Contendership shot against the winner of Michael Machina and Kassidy Heart for the World Heavyweight Championship! So much going down, so little time to talk about it!
Jake Mercer: So let’s stop! Let’s get right into our opening match of the night, and trust me, this one is going to be a BANGER!
(The first match graphic of the night is seen flashing across the screen, as the crowd erupts into thunderous cheers.)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!
(Psycho by That’s Outrageous! began blaring through the speakers to loud boos as the camera turned to show Effy McAvoy, flanked by Ahren Fournier, appearing behind the ring barrier at ringside. She makes her way over it with a maniacal smile on her face before entering the ring, with Ahren staying at ringside.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Watch Hill, Rhode Island, weighing in at 125 pounds… she is THE OMEN, EFFYYYYYYYYYYYYY! MCAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!
Stew-O: It’s a rematch for the ages here tonight, folks! We’ve seen this exact scenario play out between these two wrestlers before!
Flannery McCoy: This is the woman that BRAE lost his New Breed Championship to, and now that very same woman is looking to repeat history and take the Interwire Championship this time!
Jake Mercer: With Ahren by her side and looking to cheer her on to more gold, are we going to see Effy McAvoy stop the seemingly indomitable reign of BRAE?
(ULTRA INSTINCT THEME by Carameii began blaring through the speakers to a huge ovation as BRAE, with the Interwire Championship gripped in his right hand, stormed out from behind the stage curtains. He held his title aloft at the center of the stage before beginning his march down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT! Hailing from Novosibirsk, Russia, weighing in at 215 pounds… he is THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! SOOOOOOOON! BRAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: An incredibly focused BRAE tonight, and for good reason, with the Interwire Championship being on the line!
Flannery McCoy: If there’s anyone that BRAE is going to take seriously, it’s Effy McAvoy, with all their history together!
Jake Mercer: He’s already said he considers Effy to be one of his primary rivals, and we’ll be seeing whether he can overcome the threat she poses or if his title reign ends tonight!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Interwire Championship on the line, the Omen is going up against the Imperial Symphony! All the while, Ahren Fournier is grinning from ear to ear at ringside as he cheers Effy on towards a golden victory!
Flannery McAvoy: The question is, will Effy be able to pull it off once again tonight as she goes up against her old rival Son BRAE? She’s done it before with gold on the line!
Jake Mercer: BRAE will be looking to prevent history from repeating itself and continue his reign onwards to defend it at Pain for Pride! What a monumental achievement that would be!
Stew-O: The title has been handed off to the referee and now both wrestlers lock eyes with each other as the exit their respective corners, looking to stay fully focused; they both pose big threats to the other as they both well know, but there’s no backing out now!
Flannery McCoy: The Omen is grinning wildly as she glances at Ahren for a brief moment, looking for his approval, before she begins circling the Interwire Champion with a frantic pace! BRAE is looking to match that pace step for step, knowing damn well the type of energy Effy brings to the table, especially when something related to Ahren’s legacy is on the line!
Jake Mercer: They connect in the center of the ring with a classic collar and elbow tie up, but it doesn’t last for long as BRAE quickly manages to overpower Effy McAvoy with that weight advantage of his! He forcefully shoves Effy back into the corner that she left, imposing his authority as the dominant Interwire Champion as he does!
Stew-O: Looks like a quick display of strength from the champ, but Effy bounces right off the turnbuckles before strolling back out of the corner, licking her lips like she’s savoring the violence that’s about to come!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE lunges out again, but Effy ducks underneath it this time, spinning around just as BRAE does to connect with a hard kick to the midsection followed by two stiff punches right to the face! BRAE absorbs the strikes, nodding furiously before launching a MASSIVE knife-edge chop right at the chest of the challenger!
Jake Mercer: That chop connected and sounded off like a gunshot echoing throughout the arena! And BRAE follows it up with another, only for Effy to strike back with yet another punch of her own, and then another kick, this time to the right leg of the Interwire Champion!
Stew-O: This has been less of a wrestling match and more of a strike off between these two intense competitors thus far! Effy McAvoy looks to strike yet again at BRAE with another kick, but this time, BRAE catches the foot before it can connect! A drop toe hold plants Effy face first onto the canvas before the Interwire Champion swiftly floats over her flattened body and applies a front face lock!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE attempts to wrench her back up to a standing position with that front face lock, perhaps looking to execute a suplex or a DDT from that position, but it looks like it’s all for naught because Effy is able to slip her way out of the front face lock and counter it, grabbing a hold of the hand BRAE was using and wrenching it over her head to execute a wrist lock!
Jake Mercer: I’m sure Ahren is impressed at ringside watching his protege take the fight to the Interwire Champion tonight! Effy McAvoy is twisting that wrist lock as viciously as she can! BRAE is in pain, but he grits his teeth and looks to struggle through it to keep his head in the game! He grabs a hold of Effy’s wrist with his other hand before using it as leverage!
Stew-O: He drops to his back before popping right back up to his feet and using that rotational momentum to untwist his arm back over Effy’s head, escaping the wrist lock with a nice little display of acrobatic acumen! His wrist is still clutched, though, and BRAE looks to use that to his advantage by yanking Effy back with an Irish whip aimed towards the corner!
Flannery McCoy: But Effy McAvoy had it scouted out, reversing that attempted Irish whip and sending BRAE into the corner instead! BRAE connects with his back up against the turnbuckles, a vulnerable position that no wrestler wants to end up in, and that point is proven almost immediately as Effy breaks out into a manic sprint right towards the Interwire Champion!
Jake Mercer: AND SHE CONNECTS! RUNNING KNEE SMASH RIGHT TO THE JAW OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION CONNECTS HEAVILY! Even as strong as BRAE is, you can tell that running knee smash has the champ ROCKED as he staggers out of that corner, clutching at his jaw in pain as he barely manages to stay on his own two feet!
Stew-O: But stay on his own two feet he doesn’t manage to do for long, because Effy McAvoy immediately follows up that running knee smash from behind as she reaches back and grabs a hold of the head of the Interwire Champion from behind and PLANTS him down onto the canvas with a perfectly executed neckbreaker, bringing this competition back down to the ground on her own terms!
Flannery McCoy: Ahren screams pin from ringside and Effy doesn’t waste a single second to try to capitalize on that move, immediately going to grab both of BRAE’s legs and pulling them over his head with a pinfall attempt! Does she have it?! New Interwire Champion right here?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: But a kickout at one by BRAE lets us know that this match is nowhere NEAR over! Effy is still keeping her sanity… somehow… as this match continues, and she goes ahead and grabs a hold of the hair of the Interwire Champion in order to slowly bring him back up to a standing position! A boot to the midsection causes him to double over and immediately gets followed by a front kick by the challenger to double down on that damage to the head! Effy is likely building towards her storybook ending finisher!
Stew-O: She grabs a hold of his wrist and once again executes an Irish whip, this time aiming to send the Interwire Champion towards the ropes, and she does! BRAE rushes forth and rebounds off of the ropes, with Effy McAvoy standing in the center of the ring, ready to intercept and drop BRAE mid-run!
Flannery McCoy: An attempt at a superkick by Effy McAvoy, but BRAE managed to duck underneath it, just barely avoiding the kick as it hits nothing but the air an inch over his head! BRAE continues running, connecting with the ropes on the other side of the ring and rebounding while Effy frantically spins around to face the champion!
Jake Mercer: But she spins around just a bit too late as she gets met with a VICIOUS discus clothesline by the Interwire Champion that knocks her INSIDE OUT! He may have nearly decapitated Effy McAvoy with that monstrous clothesline! Effy McAvoy lands with a hard thud on the canvas and BRAE is getting fired up as he pounds at his chest with fury!
Stew-O: He points at Ahren Fournier out at ringside before he leaps out onto the apron, feeling the top rope with focused eyes as he measures up the challenger! EFfy McAvoy slowly and groggily gets back to her feet, clutching at her jaw in pain after getting hit with that heavy discus clotheslin! Unfortunately for her, she’s too dazed to sense the danger that she’s in, and it’s too late by the time the Interwire Champion leaps up onto the top rope!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE flies! He springboards off the top rope and LAUNCHES himself right at Effy McAvoy like he was some kind of a human missile, and he connects with a TREMENDOUS springboard shoulder tackle that sends Effy flying back like she just got hit in the midsection by a massive wrecking ball!
Jake Mercer: In the ring, you may as well consider yourself to be going up against a massive wrecking ball if BRAE is your opponent! He may not be the biggest wrestler on the roster, but when he wants to take you down, hoo boy is he going to come at you with the force of a wrecking ball whether you like it or not!
Stew-O: The impact of that springboard shoulder tackle was so hard that it even caused Effy to fly back and end up falling out of the ring by rolling underneath the bottom rope! BRAE gets on his hands and knees and realizes that the force he put behind it was so great that he isn’t even able to follow up on the maneuver with an attempted pinfall!
Flannery McCoy: That’s just how BRAE rolls, though, bringing infinite intensity inside of that ring whenever he steps up to a challenger for his gold! BRAE slides himself forward before rolling out of the ring, looking to take this fight to Effy and prevent her from getting any time to recuperate from the damage that she’s been dealt thus far!
Jake Mercer: But… there’s no Effy out there! That is the side she rolled out of, but the only person that BRAE sees out there is Ahren, cackling at the confusion being demonstrated by the Interwire Champion! BRAE scowls at Ahren but looks to stop himself from letting his focus go anywhere but the challenger!
Stew-O: BRAE looks around to see where exactly Effy McAvoy went before he turns around the ring post to go to one of the other areas of ringside– OH! LOOK AT THAT! A RAKE TO THE EYES FROM EFFY AS SHE AMBUSHES HIM FROM A BLIND SPOT RIGHT BY THE RING POST! BRAE staggers back, clutching at his eyes, but the damage has already been done as Effy lunges forward and LAUNCHES BRAE into the nearby barricade as she connects with a heavy front dropkick!
Flannery McCoy: Undoubtedly, Effy McAvoy is at a severe height and weight disadvantage when she’s going up against the Interwire Champion, but as she’s demonstrated in the past and is demonstrating right here and now, that’s not exactly a problem for her because she’s able to adapt her vicious style in the ring to opponents nearly a hundred pounds over her!
Jake Mercer: She certainly didn’t seem that small when she sent herself into BRAE with that dropkick! These two wrestle a bit more similarly to each other than I originally thought, both of them putting maximum force behind their moves to turn themselves into human weapons! Ahren gives a hardy clap for Effy after that combo she unleashed on the interwire Champion!
Ahren Fournier: Well done, well done! Take it to the finish line!
Stew-O: Words of encouragement by her idol reverberating through Effy’s head as she begins stomping BRAE out, who has crumpled down against that barricade after getting caught off guard twice in a row with that combo of moves by the Omen! It may be that having her as his challenger is always a bad omen, living up to her moniker in real time!
Flannery McCoy: With BRAE’s back pressed up against the barricade, Effy is able to fully capitalize on the disadvantageous position that BRAE has found himself in by stomping his head in with a flurry of kicks and stomps aimed right for his jaw and forehead!
Jake Mercer: Most of Effy’s major offense is aimed towards the head, and she’ll be seeing the dividends for that pay throughout the course of this match as she manages to make BRAE groggier and groggier, diminishing his offense as the match gets longer and longer!
Stew-O: She forces BRAE up to a standing position before propping him right onto the barricade, using the barricade itself as leverage to be able to assist her as she throws the champ’s arm over her head and arches back, PLANTING him with a suplex right to the ringside floor and dropping the champion with a hard thud!
Flannery McCoy: Clever use of the environment to her advantage, the challenger is looking to follow Ahren’s advice and take this match to the finish line as she pummels the champion into oblivion! She leaps right onto the fallen champion right where he landed after that suplex connected before hammering away at his head with a blistering flurry of stiff strikes!
Jake Mercer: The referee’s count is starting to get closer and closer to ten, though, and Effy knows as well as anyone that she won’t be able to win the Interwire Championship if the match ends via countout down here at ringside! She frantically gets off of BRAE and drags him over to the ring where she forcefully rolls him back in from underneath the bottom rope!
Stew-O: Effy slides right in with the champion, getting back into the ring and wasting no time as she grabs a hold of his leg and once again hooks it to try to get the pinfall off of all the offense that she managed to unleash onto the Interwire Champion outside of the ring! Will it be enough for her to get herself her second title here in EAW?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOO-
Flannery McCoy: But once again, the Interwire Champion demonstrates a great amount of resiliency with that emphatic kickout stopping Effy’s chances of becoming champion in that moment! Now, Effy is starting to let some of that mania show as she slaps the canvas in frustration, gritting and gnashing her teeth as she glares daggers at the Interwire Champion!
Jake Mercer: Her eyes flit over to the corner and it looks like she’s got some dangerous ideas in mind! She’s going to need to ramp things up in order to be able to break through the immense amount of physical endurance that the Interwire Champion has in his system! Taking someone like BRAE down for the three count is an extremely difficult task, but she’s not looking to fail with Ahren watching her!
Stew-O: She readjusts BRAE’s position to be closer to the corner before she quickly gets onto the bottom rope and climbs onto the middle rope, keeping her hands on the top rope to keep herself steady as she takes aim at the Interwire Champion who stirs below! She glances at Ahren for a brief moment, seeking his approval, before she launches herself off that second rope AND GOES FOR HER SIGNATURE MANEUVER! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AIMED RIGHT FOR THE CHEST OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: BUT NO! BRAE WAS PLAYING POSSUM, HE WASN’T AS DAZED AS EFFY THOUGHT! HE MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF HARM’S WAY JUST AT THE NICK OF TIME, CAUSING EFFY TO STUMBLE UPON LANDING AT A DIFFERENT POSITION THAN WHAT SHE EXPECTED!
Jake Mercer: That stumble was all it took as BRAE capitalizes on her mistake by once again dropping her with that drop toe hold of his! Effy McAvoy goes down, connecting face first with the canvas and clutching at her jaw in pain upon dropping! Ahren’s smirk has been wiped off his face as the Interwire Champion roars in defiance of all the damage he’s been dealt thus far!
Stew-O: BRAE PLUCKS EFFY MCAVOY OFF THE CANVAS LIKE A RAGDOLL! A REAR WAIST LOCK LATCHED ON IS ALL IT TOOK AS HE DEADLIFTS HER OFF THE CANVAS AND ARCHES BACK, DROPPING HER WITH A VERY IMPRESSIVE GERMAN SUPLEX! The strength of the Interwire Champion is on full display here!
Flannery McCoy: And now the tides have turned in an instant, with Effy on the ground and BRAE back on his feet, pounding his chest with that classic intense expression plastered across his face! BRAE is not letting this match slip by him! He WILL go to Pain for Pride with his Interwire Championship reign intact! THAT is what that expression tells us!
Jake Mercer: Effy McAvoy gets dragged back up to a standing position once again as she gets Irish whipped all the way into the corner on the opposite side of the ring, and it looks like the Imperial Symphony is hungry for some payback after all of the damage that Effy has managed to deal him in the match so far!
Stew-O: BRAE rushes from one end of the ring all the way to the other in nearly a flash before he connects with a MASSIVE bicycle knee smash to the cornered Effy McAvoy! Reminiscent of the knee smash that he was hit with earlier in the match, he’s going tit for tat with one of his greatest challengers as Effy looks absolutely rocked by that attack!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think it’s over yet though, because BRAE is just now getting fired up! Effy starts to stagger back out of the corner, but BRAE suddenly gives her a MASSIVE thrust kick right to the midsection that launches her right back into that cornered position! BRAE throws Effy’s arms over the ropes, keeping her locked in place!
Jake Mercer: Not a good position to be in, but I don’t think BRAE is going to be giving Effy McAvoy a choice as he raises his hand! What’s he looking for- OH! HERE WE GO! MACHINE GUN CHOPS! MACHINE GUN CHOPS! THE SIGNATURE MACHINE GUN CHOPS FOR BRAE GET UNLEASHED AS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION UNLOADS THE PROVERBIAL AK47 ONTO THE CHALLENGER RIGHT HERE!
Stew-O: We only saw a GLIMPSE of those dangerous knife edge chops earlier in the match, but now he’s unleashing them at full force, causing Effy’s chest to go from pale to red in mere seconds as he unleashes all of the pent up fury he had throughout the course of the match in this unbridled blitz of pure aggression!
Flannery McCoy: Ahren Fournier is starting to look pretty worried by BRAE’s offense from out at ringside, but I’m not sure what he’s going to be able to do as BRAE is ramping things up at a rapid speed! Effy’s wrist gets grabbed once again as it may seem that the Interwire Champion is looking to Irish whip her once again to the corner on the opposite side of the ring–
Jake Mercer: OR NOT! A fakeout by the Interwire Champion as Effy started to attempt to reverse the Irish whip, only for BRAE to have had that scouted and immediately slips under Effy’s arm and gets his arm across her midsection before hoisting her up! OH! URANAGE! TREMENDOUS URANAGE CONNECTS WITH AUTHORITY AS BRAE PLANTS EFFY MCAVOY RIGHT ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A MASSIVE THUD!
Stew-O: Things have gone from bad to worse for the challenger here as BRAE reaches down and grabs at the legs of Effy McAvoy! He’s going for something we don’t see him execute that often, but it’s certainly a death knell for the opponents if he’s able to lock it in! He’s going for his signature inverted clover leaf submission maneuver, what he calls the Brigid End!
Flannery McCoy: Ahren Fournier shouts frantically for Effy to lock in, and Effy McAvoy starts struggling just as frantically, trying to prevent BRAE from being able to cross the legs over and get the hold locked in properly! BRAE struggles against Effy’s own struggling before Effy has recuperated enough to use both legs to kick BRAE back!
Jake Mercer: BRAE stumbles back into the corner as Effy quickly rolls out of dodge onto the apron from underneath the bottom rope! Effy starts using the ropes as leverage to stagger back up to a standing position right there on the apron, but BRAE is a rabid dog, immediately going from the corner onto the apron to meet Effy right then and there before she has a chance to fully get back to her feet!
Stew-O: It’s too late by the time she does rise up because BRAE unleashes a MASSIVE lariat that sends Effy from the apron back into the ring by knocking her right over the top rope! The Interwire Champion is absolutely fired up right here as he points up to the sky before grabbing at the top rope once again, perhaps looking to double down with that springboard shoulder tackle–
Ahren Fournier: HEY! YOU!
Flannery McCoy: Oh come on! Ahren Fournier suddenly starts yelling at the champion from ringside, and BRAE turns his head looking furious at Ahren! OH! It looks like Ahren tries to swipe at the legs of the Interwire Champion from ringside, but– LOOK! OH MY GOD!
Jake Mercer: BRAE QUICKLY HOPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE TO AVOID IT… AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE DOWN TO RINGSIDE AT AHREN FOURNIER! RED DEATH! A MODIFIED RED DEATH TO AHREN FOURNIER, PERHAPS THE MOST DANGEROUS RED DEATH WE’VE EVER SEEN FROM THAT HEIGHT!
Stew-O: BRAE DROPS THE NUKE ON AHREN FOURNIER, FLATTENING HIM ENTIRELY AT RINGSIDE AFTER THAT ATTEMPTED INTERFERENCE BY THE LEGEND! AND LOOK IN THE RING! EFFY MCAVOY’S EYES GO WIDE WITH INSANITY AS SHE SEES AHREN KNOCKED OUT COLD!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE looks furious at Ahren but knows he has a match to win, so he quickly slides back into the ring to take the fight back to Effy McAvoy! OH! NO! NO! BRAE GOT BACK TO HIS FEET BUT IMMEDIATELY GOT HIT WITH THE GOAT TROT BY EFFY MCAVOY! THAT SIGNATURE RUNNING NECKBREAKER DROPS BRAE LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!
Jake Mercer: BRAE MIGHT BE TAKEN OUT RIGHT HERE AND NOW! AND EFFY IS SCREAMING WILDLY IN THE FACE OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
Effy McAvoy: YOU HURT MY AHREN?! MYYYYY AHREEEEN?!
Stew-O: EFFY HAS GONE INSANE! SHE MAY HAVE GONE LITERALLY INSA– OH MY GOD! RED DEATH! EFFY MCAVOY HERSELF JUST DROPPED HERSELF ONTO BRAE WITH A RED DEATH, TAKING THE MOVE BRAE JUST USED AGAINST AHREN FOURNIER AND USING IT ON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION HIMSELF!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! AND ANOTHER RED DEATH BY EFFY MCAVOY! I THINK THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION MAY BE FULLY KNOCKED OUT HERE! EFFY MCAVOY ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN, THOUGH, AS SHE CLUTCHES AT HER OWN HAIR, BREATHING FRANTICALLY AND ERRATICALLY AS SHE GLARES DAGGERS AT THE FALLEN CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: SHE FLIPS BRAE ONTO HIS MIDSECTION BEFORE TAKING AIM… AND CONNECTS WITH THE STORYBOOK ENDING! THE FINISHING CURB STOMP OF EFFY MCAVOY FOLLOWS UP THOSE TWO RED DEATHS, AND SHE FLIPS HIM OVER BEFORE HOOKING THE LEGS! THIS HAS TO BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Psycho by That’s Outrageous! begins playing once again as the crowd erupts with boos! Effy McAvoy looks frantically from the fallen BRAE to the fallen Ahren Fournier as she slowly rises to her feet.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEW! EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! SHE IS THE OMEN… EFFYYYYYYYYY! MCAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!
Stew-O: What an intense end to the match! Ahren Fournier ended up playing a sacrificial role there, sparking that nuclear fire in Effy McAvoy after he got knocked out by the Red Death!
Flannery McCoy: All the credit in the world to BRAE for that indomitable Interwire Championship reign, but once again, it looks like Effy McAvoy ended up being his kryptonite!
Jake Mercer: Effy McAvoy barely even looks happy about the win as she unleashed everything she had, especially after seeing Ahren get trampled by BRAE! But now she’s the Interwire Champion with the gold in her hand! She raises it with a glare on her face before immediately exiting the ring to help Ahren!
(The video feed lingers as Effy helps Ahren to his feet and into the ring before she truly begins celebrating the win, with Ahren groggy on his feet after taking the Red Death but nevertheless happy about the victory; he raises Effy’s hand while Effy raises the title with the other, all while they tower over the knocked out BRAE. The video feed slowly fades to black.)

(The camera shot returns to ringside where Stephie Love is standing with a microphone as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Cassie’ by Flyleaf starts to play as the duo of Winona Hendrickson and Anna Wautier enter the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. They look ready for action as they head to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making their way to the ring! At a total combined weight of 292 pounds. Here is the team of “WONDER WOMAN” WINONA HENDRICKSON AND “THE THORN PRINCESS” ANNA WAUTIER!
Stew-O: Here comes the duo of Winona Hendrickson and Anna Wautier down to the ring for tag team action and this rivalry between these four competitors has been building for quite some time now.
Jake Mercer: Certainly didn’t help that Anna was attacked from behind last week by Mia and Jamie after Winona’s defeat to Methuselah. Tonight they are looking for payback and to settle the score.
Flannery McCoy: Winona Hendrickson is making her marquee event debut here at Reasonable Doubt and what a way to make a statement then by getting a victory over a former champion. But this duo better be ready because their opposition doesn’t play nice.
(Winona and Anna enter the ring as they take a corner as Winona’s entrance music fades off and is replaced by “Cult Leader” by KiNG MALA. Seconds later, Mia Santoro and Jamie Valdez enter the arena to boos from the crowd. They both look very confident as they head to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing their opponents! At a total combined weight of 235 pounds! Here is the team of “THE OBSESSION” MIA SANTORO AND “THE PRODIGY” JAMIE VALDEZ!
Jake Mercer: Here comes the opposition who can certainly be as devious as they are dangerous with the trouble they have caused.
Flannery McCoy: We already talked about Mia and Jamie attacking Anna after Winona’s match last week, but you can’t forget Jamie running distraction before Effy attacked BRAE leading to Mia getting the nontitle victory over the Interwire Champion.
Stew-O: Mia is a former Specialists Champion looking to get herself in the title hunt while Jamie is an up and coming star in EAW. Will this duo be able to use every trick in the book they can to pull out the win or will Winona and Anna get payback at their expense? We are about to find out.
(Mia and Jamie enter the ring and take their neutral corner as the referee tries to keep the two teams separate. The teams have backed off of each other as Mia’s music fades off and the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! This match is underway and it looks like Jamie Valdez is looking to start for her team as she walks towards the center of the ring ready to compete as Anna Wautier has volunteered to start for her team.
Jake Mercer: Anna isn’t happy after the attack she and Winona received from Jamie and Mia last week AND ANNA MAKES A DASH FOR JAMIE, WHO IMMEDIATELY RUNS STRAIGHT INTO HER CORNER—
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: AND JAMIE IMMEDIATELY TAGS IN MIA SANTORO! LOOKS LIKE SHE ISN’T READY TO FIGHT RIGHT NOW AS MIA ENTERS THE RING!
Stew-O: Is this to throw Anna off her game? Who really knows, but what we see is Mia is more than ready to lock up with Anna and there we go. Both women tie up in the center of the ring and it’s almost a stalemate until Mia manages to overpower Anna.
Flannery McCoy: Mia is forcing Anna over to the ropes and the referee is right there to force a break between the two ladies–
(SLAP!)
Jake Mercer: MIA JUST SLAPPED ANNA ACROSS THE FACE TRYING TO SHOW WHO THE BOSS IS IN THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: Call that a combination of no respect or no intimidation towards Anna and Mia is feeling very proud of herself after that slap. Anna gets herself off the ropes as Winona cheers her on as both women are back to the center of the ring.
Jake Mercer: They try to lock up again AND MIA DUCKS BEHIND ANNA AND SLAPS HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! AGAIN WITH THE DISRESPECT BY MIA!
Flannery McCoy: Mia is a former Specialists Champion and she could care less on if Anna is related to a former champion or not, Mia does not like to play nice.
Stew-O: Anna has learned that firsthand and she is getting a review of it right now as Mia grabs her by the arm and whips her to the ropes. Anna with the rebound AS MIA GOES FOR AN ARM DRAG–
Jake Mercer: BUT ANNA IS ABLE TO STAY ON HER FEET! Anna turns around AND FIRES OFF A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT MIA IS ABLE TO DUCK–
Flannery McCoy: BUT MIA WAS NOT ABLE TO DUCK THAT THRUST KICK WITH THE OTHER FOOT! THAT KICK CAUGHT HER RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Stew-O: Anna is perhaps the most dangerous kicker in this match and Mia got that reminder in the form of a boot across her face and that gives Anna the advantage in the match as she pulls Mia to her feet and whips her to her team’s corner–
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Winona is legal for her official appearance in the match and her first take of action in a marquee event as she kicks Mia in the gut.
Jake Mercer: Mia was doubled over as Winona and Anna grab Mia by the head AND LIFT HER UP IN THE AIR AND TAKE HER DOWN WITH A DOUBLE SUPLEX! Mia lands hard as the referee tells Anna to get out of the ring.
Stew-O: If Anna is the kicker in the match, Winona has got to be the powerhouse of the match as she hits the ropes before rebounding AND LEAVING HER FEET TO HIT A LEG DROP RIGHT ACROSS THE THROAT!
Jake Mercer: Mia is in a bunch of trouble right now. Quick question. Are we sure that Winona never had a history as a country singer?
Flannery McCoy: No. Gosh, you can be stupid sometimes. It’s not that Winona.
Stew-O: Anyways, Winona pulls Mia back to her feet after the leg drop AND SHE JUST CHOPS MIA ACROSS THE CHEST! GOOD GAWD! DID YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF THAT SHOT?
Jake Mercer: Winona not playing around as she delivers repeated chops to the chest backing Mia into a neutral corner. The referee is right there to make sure there is a clean break between Mia and Winona–
Flannery McCoy: MIA WITH A THUMB RIGHT IN THE EYE! WINONA TRYING TO GET THE STING OUT AS MIA COMES BACK WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE THROAT!
Stew-O: Now Winona is having trouble seeing and breathing because of Mia as Mia grabs Winona by the head and TAKES HER OVER WITH THE SNAP SUPLEX BEFORE FLOATING OVER INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: Mia only gets a count of one as Winona kicks out! Winona is trying to recover and get back to her feet AS MIA GRABS A DOUBLE HANDFUL OF WINONA’S HAIR AND JUST SNAPS HER BACK TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Mia is one of those competitors who see the rules as a mere suggestion until disqualification is on the menu. Doesn’t look like that’s the case right now as Mia uses Winona’s hair to pull her towards her corner.
Stew-O: Mia tosses her back down to the mat and now she blows the strands of Winona’s hair out of her hand like dust in the wind–
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Now Jamie Valdez looks ready to get into the action as she accepts the tag from Mia as Mia turns Winona into the Boston Crab position as Jamie climbs onto the second rope–
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND DELIVERS A KNEE DROP TO THE BACK OF WINONA’S NECK! THAT WAS A DANGEROUS MOVE RIGHT THERE! KNEECAP AGAINST THE BASE OF THE SKULL!
Stew-O: Jamie out here playing for keeps as she drags Winona to the corner and rests her against the turnbuckles as she backs up to the opposite side.
Jake Mercer: Jamie goes running full speed towards the corner AND DELIVERS THE RUNNING KNEES RIGHT TO WINONA’S FACE! HOLY CRAP! DID YOU SEE HER HEAD AND NECK SNAP BACK?
Flannery McCoy: That could have broken Winona’s jaw right there. Jamie was trying to drag Winona towards the center of the ring to go for a cover, but Winona managed to roll under the bottom rope and out of the ring.
Stew-O: Winona is trying to catch a breather to regain her composure after those high impact shots to the head as uses the apron to stay on her feet. Meanwhile Jamie is watching all of this go on.
Flannery McCoy: Jamie hits the ropes on the far side to build up some speed and momentum as she runs back to the other side AND LAUNCHES HERSELF THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE—
Jake Mercer: WINONA WITH A BACK ELBOW RIGHT TO JAMIE’S FACE THAT STOPS HER RIGHT IN HER TRACKS AND SENDS HER CRASHING TO THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN JAMIE’S NOSE RIGHT THERE! Winona seems to have her wits about her as she grabs Jamie and picks her up for a body slam–
Jake Mercer: AND WINONA SLAMS HER RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON! JAMIE’S SPINE CRACKS THE EDGE OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: You might have to chalk up a little bit of the increased aggression towards the attack last week and everything that has been building up between these four competitors as Winona rolls Jamie back into the ring.
Stew-O: Winona rolls into the ring as well as she walks over to Jamie and grabs Jamie around the waist AND JUST HOISTS HER BACK ON HER FEET! Nice power being shown by Winona as she has Jamie in the gutwrench position.
Jake Mercer: Winona lifts Jamie up AND TURNS HER INTO A GUTWRENCH BACKBREAKER! KNEE DRIVEN RIGHT INTO JAMIE’S SPINE AS WINONA GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE KICKS OUT AT TWO! Near fall for Winona as she pulls Jamie back to her feet and grabs the facelock BEFORE TAKING HER UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
Stew-O: WINONA HOLDS ON AND BOTH LADIES ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET AND WINONA TAKES JAMIE UP AND OVER WITH ANOTHER SNAP SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S NOT ALL! WINONA TRYING FOR THE TRIFECTA HERE AS SHE LIFTS JAMIE UP FOR THE THIRD SUPLEX–
Jake Mercer: JAMIE IS ABLE TO CHANGE MOMENTUM IN THE AIR AND REVERSE THE SUPLEX INTO A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT!
Stew-O: Winona goes headfirst onto the mat as Jamie is back on her feet and holding her lower back after all the damage done to it thus far in the match.
Jake Mercer: Jamie drops down to Winona AND JUST STARTS POUNDING HER FISTS INTO WINONA’S HEAD! BARE KNUCKLES MEETING HER SKULL!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is right there telling Jamie to open up the fists and naturally, she is ignoring the referee and the referee has no choice but to start a count.
Stew-O: The referee reaches a count of four and Jamie is pulled off of Winona AND JAMIE TAKES A SWING AT THE REFEREE! EMOTIONS GETTING THE BETTER OF HER!
Jake Mercer: The referee narrowly avoids the shot as they warn Jamie that they are very close to getting disqualified–
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE LOOKS OVER JAMIE’S SHOULDER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE TAG! ANNA IS LEGAL AND JAMIES IS WONDERING WHAT THE HELL THE REFEREE IS DOING.
Stew-O: Well, Jamie is about to find out as Anna grabs her around the waists AND LIFTS HER IN THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! JAMIE LANDS ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Jamie rolls head over heels and ends up rolling herself into a neutral corner telling the referee to back Anna up. It isn’t working well as Anna is ready to fight as she stalks towards Jamie in the corner–
Jake Mercer: JAMIE GRABS THE FRONT OF ANNA’S GEAR AND PULLS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Was it an act of desperation or was Jamie playing possum? Who knows.
Stew-O: Seeing how Mia and Jamie act? I think we know what the case is as Jamie gets back to her feet and grabs Anna by the hair AND USES ANNA’S HAIR TO SNAPMARE HER INTO HER TEAM’S CORNER—
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro is back into the match as Jamie again uses the hair to pull her back to her feet and shoves her to Mia, who is now on the top turnbuckle. Mia has her by the head as Jamie takes a knee on the mat—
Flannery McCoy: MIA WITH A BULLDOG SENDING ANNA FACE FIRST INTO JAMIE’S KNEECAP!! INNOVATIVE DOUBLE TEAM BY SANTORO AND VALDEZ!!
Stew-O: That had to cause some major damage there as Mia drags Anna to the center of the ring by the hair as she goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEE-
Jake Mercer: WINONA WITH THE SAVE AS SHE COMES IN AND BREAKS UP THE COUNT TO SAVE THE MATCH FOR HER TEAM!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is forcing Winona to get back outside the ring as Mia is talking trash with the referee trying to also keep them separated as Mia turns back to the match and the referee is still with Winona–
Stew-O: JAMIE IS BACK IN THE RING AS MIA CLIMBS ONTO THE TOP ROPE! JAMIE LIFTS ANNA AND PLANTS HER WITH THE POWERBOMB! MIA COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Flannery McCoy: DOUBLE STOMP TO ANNA’S POOR FACE!! A DOUBLE TEAM VERSION OF MIA’S “FORGET ME NOT”! ANNA IS NOT MOVING AS JAMIE GETS OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: MIA DRAGS ANNA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AS SCREAMS AT THE REFEREE TO GET OVER HERE AS MIA HOOKS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: SHE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! ANNA KICKED OUT AT TWO! NEAR FALL FOR MIA AND MIA IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!
Jake Mercer: Mia is pounding the mat in anger as we see THAT ANNA IS BLEEDING! LOOKS LIKE SHE IS BLEEDING CRAZY FROM THE NOSE OR SOMETHING!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t say that I am surprised after all the shots that Anna has taken right to the face. Her nose could be broken and I don’t think anybody gives a damn, including Anna herself.
Stew-O: Mia rolls Anna back onto her stomach and drives her knee into Anna’s back AND GRABS ANNA BY THE HAIR AND JUST PULLS HER BACK CAUSING MORE PAIN TO ANNA WAUTIER!
Jake Mercer: That is obviously an illegal move right there and the referee starts a count and tells Mia to let go of Anna’s hair, which she does at four BY FORCING ANNA TO FALL FORWARD AND ANNA’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Mia doesn’t give a damn what the referee thinks as she GRABS ANNA BY THE HAIR AGAIN AND PULLS HER BACK ONE MORE TIME AND THE REFEREE STARTS ANOTHER COUNT!
Stew-O: Mia again lets go on four to prevent being disqualified and Winona is on the apron, chomping at the bit to get back into this match as Mia is just jawjacking with the referee, who is warning Mia that she is walking a fine line of possibly being disqualified.
Flannery McCoy: Mia is once again arguing with the referee and that gives Anna a moment to crawl towards the corner to get Winona back into this match. Mia turns around AND MAKES A MAD DASH TO ANNA–
Jake Mercer: MIA GRABS ANNA BY THE LEG AND STARTS TRYING TO PULL HER BACK TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING, BUT ANNA IS ABLE TO KICK MIA IN THE FACE AND GET FREE!
Stew-O: ANNA KEEPS CRAWLING AND SHE’S ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY FROM HER CORNER TO TAG WINONA BACK INTO THE MATCH–
Jake Mercer: JAMIE VALDEZ RUNS BACK INTO THE RING AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO ANNA’S SPINE STOPPING ANNA IN HER TRACKS! NO TAG MADE!
Flannery McCoy: I hate to give Jamie credit for doing something so underhanded, but that interference possibly saved the match for her and Mia should Anna have got the tag there.
Stew-O: But it unfortunately did not happen and Winona is getting more anxious by the second. Right now, Anna’s energy has got to be running low because she has been in this match for a long time.
Jake Mercer: That and the fact her eyes have got to be watering because taking so many shots to the face and with her nose bleeding as much as it has.
Flannery McCoy: Jamie is back outside the ring in her corner as Mia pulls Anna to her feet again using the hair and drags Anna to the corner–
Stew-O: FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, ANNA JUMPS UP AND PUTS HER WEIGHT ON MIA’S ARM, TAKING HER DOWN AND ANNA HAS APPLIED THE CROSS ARMBREAKER!!
Flannery McCoy: SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND MIA DID NOT SEE THAT COMING AT ALL! ANNA HAS MIA’S ARM IN A HORRIBLE TORQUE!
Jake Mercer: What Anna needs to watch out for is to make sure her shoulders do not hit the mat because that would lead to an unintentional pinfall on herself.
Stew-O: She is doing a great job of it by leaning to the side enough to keep her shoulder off the mat and the referee is checking with Mia to see if she wants to give up.
Jake Mercer: Well the cameras caught what Mia said very clearly. When the referee asked Mia if she wanted to submit, Mia said, and I quote, “Are you fucking stupid? Don’t ask me that again.”.
Flannery McCoy: She could have screamed that a little louder because I don’t think the people in the nosebleeds heard her scream that AS MIA IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE OR GET HERSELF TO THE ROPES!
Stew-O: MIA IS LITERALLY TRYING TO DRAG ANNA LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES TO THE ROPES TO GET A BREAK BUT ANNA IS SEEMINGLY BEING DEAD WEIGHT–
Jake Mercer: MIA REALIZES THAT AND MANAGES TO ROLL FORWARD AND ROLL UP ANNA! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: ANNA KICKS OUT AT TWO AND IS FORCED TO LET THE ARMBREAKER GO! Mia’s left arm took some damage there as she grabs Anna and whips her to the corner.
Stew-O: Anna hits the turnbuckle AS MIA FOLLOWS UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE ACROSS THE THROAT! Anna comes stumbling out of the corner as Mia uses her good arm and grabs her around the head–
Flannery McCoy: MIA GOES FOR THE ONE HANDED BULLDOG OUT OF THE CORNER, BUT ANNA GETS FREE AS MIA GOES SAILING FORWARD AND LANDING BUTT FIRST ON THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: She won’t sprain her ankles the way she landed. Mia gets back to her feet AND ANNA DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE FACE! Mia is back on her feet AND ANNA HITS THE LARIAT TAKING MIA BACK DOWN!
Stew-O: Mia is back to her feet one more time AS ANNA GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT MIA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY OF! ANNA TURNS AROUND–
Jake Mercer: AND IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK FROM MIA SANTORO! BUT ANNA DOESN’T FALL!
Flannery McCoy: Anna stumbles back towards the ropes to stay on her feet BUT SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A LOT OF MOMENTUM–
Stew-O: “PARADISE KISS” BY ANNA WAUTIER! THAT HEADBUTT CLOCKED MIA SANTORO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREHEAD AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Neither competitor is moving right now off the headbutt. The referee is checking both competitors before they start their official ten count.
Flannery McCoy: That headbutt looked like it knocked both of them out right there because neither one of them had moved yet. Jamie and Winona are both trying to get their partners back into this match and reaching out for the tag.
Stew-O: Winona is bouncing around with pent up energy because she has been wanting to get back into this match for the longest time and she could only be a few moments away from getting back into the match.
Flannery McCoy: Now both Mia and Anna are starting to move as the referee has reached the count of three.
Jake Mercer: Wouldn’t it just suck if this match ended in a double countout after all this time and these four wanting to get to this match this badly.
Stew-O: The referee is now at a count of six and both Mia and Anna are crawling towards their respective corners. You would have to think that the first person to reach their partner will get the advantage in this tag team match.
Jake Mercer: This match has come down to almost a race type situation. The woman who reaches her partner first has a good chance to win this match.
Flannery McCoy: This might be a photo finish as the referee has reached a count of eight as Jamie and Winona are stretching out as far as they can for the tag, but this match could be over in a matter of moments.
Stew-O: The referee has reached the count of nine and neither competitor has been able to make it to their corners yet and the referee looks ready to make the final ten count–
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: MIA IS ABLE TO TAG IN JAMIE! Jamie gets in the ring and that breaks the count as she makes a mad dash to Anna AND CATCHES ANNA WITH RUNNING KNEES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: THE CROWD IS BOOING JAMIE FOR MAKING THE STOP AS WINONA LETS OUT A GROAN OF FRUSTRATION! Winona has been waiting so long to get back in the match and was only a few fingertips away and that was stopped.
Stew-O: Jamie grabs Anna by the hair and pulls her into the facelock position as SHE LIFTS UP ANNA FOR THE “CHERRY BLOSSOM” BRAINBUSTER–
Flannery McCoy: ANNA IS ABLE TO GET FREE AND SHE COUNTERS WITH A NECKBREAKER! ANNA ONCE AGAIN CRAWLING TOWARDS THE CORNER–
Jake Mercer: JAMIE GRABS ANNA’S FOOT AND ANNA COUNTERS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI KICK TO THE FACE! JAMIE IS STAGGERED AS ANNA IS ONLY A FINGERTIP AWAY AS SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF TOWARDS THE CORNER–
(TAG!)
Stew-O: ANNA GOT THE TAG! WINONA IS NOW IN THE MATCH AS SHE TAKES JAMIE DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: Jamie quickly gets back to her feet BUT SHE IS MET WITH A DROPKICK FROM WINONA! Jamie is back up one more time AND WINONA LEAVES HER FEET AND CATCHES JAMIE WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Flannery McCoy: WINONA IS LIKE A HOUSE OF FIRE RIGHT NOW AS HE GRABS JAMIE BY THE WAIST AND TAKES HER UP AND OVER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! JAMIE TURNED INSIDE OUT!
Stew-O: Winona is taking no prisoners in this match as she grabs Jamie by the head and PLANTS HER HEAD FIRST WITH THE “WH-103”!
Jake Mercer: Winona didn’t get all of the DDT because Mia entered the ring to try and stop the move as Winona kicked her in the gut as Winona was coming down for the DDT. That did stop a cover attempt BUT HERE COMES ANNA TO GET MIA OUT OF THE RING–
Flannery McCoy: MIA SIDESTEPS ANNA AND ANNA GOES SAILING OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR AS WINONA CATCHES MIA WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: The referee is helping Mia get out of the ring and keeping her and Winona separated. Mia and Winona are just yelling at each other–
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE RUNS PAST WINONA ONTO THE CORNER! JAMIE WITH THE FLIP AS SHE GRABS WINONA AND PLANTS HER WITH THE DESTINY CUTTER! WINONA GOES FACE FIRST ONTO THE MAT AS JAMIE ROLLS HER INTO THE COVER! WILL JAMIE STEAL IT HERE?
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: LOOK! JAMIE PUTS HER FEET ONTO THE ROPES AND MIA IS HOLDING ON FOR MORE LEVERAGE!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: Was that a three? THEY GOT THE THREE COUNT! OH COME ON—
Jake Mercer: NO SHE DIDN’T! THE REFEREE CAUGHT MIA HOLDING ONTO JAMIE’S ANKLES AND STOPS THE COUNT! BUSTED!
Flannery McCoy: Mia let go of Jamie’s ankles and is now arguing with the referee about the stopped count like she was innocent in the entire matter–
Stew-O: ANNA! ANNA GRABS MIA BY THE ANKLES AND PULLS HER OFF THE APRON! MIA’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE APRON AND NOW ANNA AND MIA ARE BRAWLING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile Jamie and Winona are the legal competitors and Jamie pulls Winona back to her feet and lifts her in the air AND THIS TIME JAMIE MANAGES TO HIT THE “CHERRY BLOSSOM” BRAINBUSTER!
Flannery McCoy: THE BACK OF THE NECK DRIVEN INTO JAMIE’S KNEECAP! WINONA ISN’T MOVING AS JAMIE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: WINONA GOT HER FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THAT STOPS THE COUNT!
Flannery McCoy: Jamie lets out a scream of frustration because she thought she had the win there, but it was a nearfall only.
Jake Mercer: Jamie grabs Winona by the hair and just starts PUNCHING WINONA IN THE HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Stew-O: The referee tells Jamie to open up the fists or else be disqualified and she does on the referee’s count of four.
Jake Mercer: Jamie is not done yet as she grabs Winona by the head AND SPIKES HER WITH THE DDT! Winona is down as Jamie backs up towards the corner.
Flannery McCoy: Winona is starting to recover as Jamie waits for Winona to get in perfect position. Winona has made it to her knees AS JAMIES RUNS TOWARDS WINONA–
Stew-O: JAMIE LOOKING FOR THE “FIERCE KICK”, BUT WINONA DUCKS DOWN AT THE LAST MINUTE AND GETS BACK TO HER FEET! Jamie comes off the ropes and rebounds AS WINONA GOES FOR A TILT A WHIRL BACKBREAKER–
Jake Mercer: JAMIE COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER SENDING WINONA FOR THE RIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Winona is back on her feet AS JAMIE RUNS TO WINONA AND JUMPS INTO THE AIR FOR THE HURRICANRANA–
Stew-O: BUT WINONA QUICKLY COUNTERS WITH “HEAVEN SENT” OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT A POP UP POWERBOMB BY WINONA HENDRICKSON! JAMIE ISN’T MOVING AS SHE STACKS JAMIE UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Cassie’ starts playing again as Winona slowly rolls off of Jamie as she tries to catch her breath. Anna has rolled back into the ring as Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners… the team of ANNA WAUTIER AND WINONA HENDRICKSON!!
Stew-O: If there was a way to make a statement in your marquee event debut, this was certainly a way to do it. Winona not only made her marquee event debut tonight, she picked up the pinfall victory over a former Specialists Champion.
Flannery McCoy: This match is what Dynasty is all about. Four rising stars, including a former champion, bringing the fight and showing what they are all about. The future of Dynasty is in good hands.
(Winona and Anna are back to their feet as the referee raises their arms in victory as Mia has made it back to her feet and pulls Jamie out of the ring. Winona and Anna hug before they celebrate their victory in the ring for a moment before they leave the ring and start up the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: These four really threw everything at each other in order to leave this match with the win. Jamie and Mia pulled everything out of their bags of tricks in order to steal the win, but it unfortunately didn’t work for them.
Flannery McCoy: They were close on numerous occasions to winning the match, but the intensity and the drive of Winona and Anna pulled them through.
Stew-O: Mia and Jamie had a great performance, but tonight’s match belongs to Winona Hendrickson and Anna Wautier. Congratulations to Anna and Winona on the victory here at Reasonable Doubt!
(The final shot shows Mia and Jamie sitting on the floor glaring up the entrance ramp before cutting to Winona and Anna standing at the top of the entrance ramp soaking in the cheers from the crowd as the camera shot fades elsewhere….)

Stephie Love: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!
(‘Razorface’ by Celldweller hits the PA speakers and David Gideon Smith emerges from the back, black and white lights flashing throughout the building. David slowly makes his way down the stage, outstretching his hands to draw his Black Blade signal.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, residing in Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is “DGS” DAVID! GIDEON! SMITH!
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith has impressed on multiple fronts and he’s looking to keep that in tact for tonight. His issues with both Kirk Redwood and Holly Arrow finally boil over and there is certainly nothing that he would like more than to show that he is headed to high places here on Dynasty.
(‘Ballad of a Prodigal Son’ by Lincoln Durham blares throughout the building, and Kirk Redwood storms out from the back, Amanda at his side as always. Kirk marches down the ramp, wasting no time as he’s ready to get in the ring and start fighting.)
Stephie Love: Next, weighing in at 210 pounds, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is “UNKILLABLE” KIIRRRKKKK! REEDDDWWOOOODDDDDDDDD!!!
Jake Mercer: It won’t come easy, though! Kirk Redwood always feels like he’s got something to prove and tonight will be no different. This guy is *built* for fighting and considering that there’s an opportunity at stake for everyone in this match, clearly Redwood is the one that wants to seize it! He’s willing to do whatever it takes—certainly evident by how he had no problem admitting that he was responsible for taking Adam Hale Valentine out of action.
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga is next to start booming throughout the arena, and Holly Arrow makes her way out, nodding her head. She tags a couple of fans on her way down the ramp, and then she proceeds to run up the steps and enter the ring. Holly climbs the middle rope and poses for the crowd, before swinging her entrance gear off her shoulders and to the floor.)
Stephie Love: Lastly, from Liverpool, England, weighing in at 149 pounds, she is “THE LODESTAR” HOOOLLLLLYYYYY!! ARRRROOOOWWWWW!!!
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow has to be feeling good about herself going into this one. Two weeks ago, she picked up a victory over the Interwire Champion, BRAE, and now she’s going into tonight’s match with a ton of momentum. Many may deem Arrow as the favorite going into this match—and she may feel the same, but it’s up to Arrow to deliver as she has in the past!
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: The referee is absolutely going to have his hands full with this one as David Gideon Smith, Kirk Redwood & Holly Arrow all want the win tonight and I’m not sure what they won’t do in order to leave with it!
Jake Mercer: DGS stands tall as the biggest man in this match, and that immediately puts a target on his head! Kirk and Holly both glance at each other for a moment, then they turn to DGS and immediately charge in, throwing bombs at him! However, he was expecting that! Forearm to Redwood, then an elbow to Arrow! But they both nail him with a forearm at the same time! There’s no alliance though—as Redwood sends Arrow back with a knife edge chop! She staggers, and then Redwood starts to go after the ribs of DGS with repeated shoulder barrages! DGS winces, but here comes Holly from behind, as she grabs the waist of Redwood!!!
Flannery McCoy: SHE TOSSES HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ACROSS THE RING! WE’VE ALREADY GOT OUR FIRST MOVE EARLY IN THIS MATCH! Arrow spins to a kneel and rises up to her feet—nope! DGS charges into a knee lift! Holly is raised up to her feet after the impact, but she’s holding her jaw in pain! DGS winds back a forearm, but Holly blocks it! She stomps the toe, and then chops the throat of DGS! He falls into the ropes and she takes the wrist to try an irish whip, but DGS wraps his arm around the top rope!
Stew-O: Arrow desperately tries again, but DGS swats her hands down and elevates her over with a back body drop to the floor! Holly falls over, holding her mouth in pain! Redwood rises and he sees DGS coming in… HE WANTS TO END THIS ONE EARLY! **’THE BLACK BLADE!’**
Jake Mercer: HE SWINGS AND MISSES! Redwood ducks underneath, but he captures the arm on impact! He wraps his free arm around the throat of DGS! DGS is trying to fight this grip, but I don’t think he’s going to be able to! HALF-NELSON SUPLEX! GOODNESS! THAT WAS CLOSE TO SPIKING HIM ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! DGS rolls away, finding himself back into the turnbuckles and we’re already two suplexes deep! Redwood rises to his feet and he runs to the turnbuckles, bouncing off of them for momentum!
Flannery McCoy: He soars into DGS like a missile with a flying corner European uppercut! Redwood turns around and runs off the turnbuckles, seeking a SECOND european uppercut—BUT HE’S CAUGHT THIS TIME!
Stew-O: DGS HEAVES REDWOOD HIGH UP IN THE AIR! **BACKBREAKER ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLES!** GOODNESS! REDWOOD JUST BOUNCED OFF, AND DAVID SCOOPS HIM UP RIGHT AFTER!
Jake Mercer: He spins to the center of the ring, throwing Redwood from fireman’s carry position into a brutal backbreaker! That’s the kind of innovation that defines DGS, and Redwood is feeling every bit of that right now! He goes to make the cover, but Arrow slides in behind him with a dropkick to the back of the head! That wasn’t going to be enough to keep her out of the match! DGS rolls away, holding his head. Arrow is focused on him—not sure if that’s the best idea when Redwood is laid out, but right now it is a one on one matchup after all!
Stew-O: She pulls him up by the hair and nails him with a stiff forearm to the jaw. Holly with another one, but DGS leans on the ropes. She winds back one more, but he shoves her back! He tries another back body drop, but this time, Holly stalls the lift! She grabs the top rope and willingly swivels to the apron onto her feet. She wraps her hands around the jaw of DGS and yanks him back with an inverted hot shot on the top rope! The neck of DGS snaps backwards and he staggers away from the corner, holding his neck in pain.
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile, Holly is making her way up to the top turnbuckle! DGS slowly turns around and Holly is aiming for him! MISSILE DROPKICK! DOWN GOES DGS! HOLLY LANDED PERFECTLY THERE! DGS is out of it, and Holly goes to make the first cover of this match!
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: Kick out from DGS! Holly rolls over, looking to capitalize, but she’s grabbed from behind! Kirk Redwood wants his receipt as he tries a german suplex, but Arrow sends an elbow to the side of the head! She sends another elbow, and Kirk releases her! Holly quickly runs the ropes, but Redwood follows after her and he slides out of the ring, gripping Holly’s ankle and tripping her onto her face in the process! Arrow wasn’t expecting that whatsoever, but he’s not done! Redwood grabs Arrow by the ankles and he drags her out of the ring into wheelbarrow position!
Stew-O: Arrow’s eyes widen as she tries desperately to fight the grip that Redwood has her in, but he spins her off of the apron and HEAD-FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! ARROW WHEEZES OUT IN PAIN! She covers her head, but it doesn’t mean anything, as Redwood hangs onto Arrow and slams her down! **WHEELBARROW SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR!** GOOD GOD! I THINK THE BACK OF HOLLY’S HEAD JUST BOUNCED OFF OF THE FLOOR! Just as I said at the beginning of this match, these three will do whatever in order to leave with victory!
Flannery McCoy: Redwood may have taken Arrow out of the equation in this one! He rolls back in and DGS is beginning to get back up to his feet, favoring that neck. Redwood grabs him by the head—no! DGS swats his hand away and steps forward into a headbutt to the throat! Redwood stumbles, holding his throat in pain! DGS then scoops him up, spinning around with a scoop slam into the turnbuckles! Redwood has no chance to fall to the canvas, though, as DGS hangs on to him and ties him up with a tree of woe onto the turnbuckles! Redwood dangles helplessly, stuck in the corner!
Jake Mercer: DGS turns around and runs off the turnbuckles, leaping into a KNEE to the ribs! Redwood wheezes out in pain! DGS hits off the turnbuckles again and he soars into ANOTHER knee to the ribs! Redwood is trapped right now! DGS runs off the turnbuckles, and he gets him with a THIRD knee to the ribs! He hangs onto Redwood, pulling him off of the turnbuckles and now carrying him into front powerslam position! Redwood just claws and claws at the body of DGS, to no avail…
Stew-O: He marches to the center of the ring, stepping into a SHOULDER BREAKER—NO! REDWOOD CAPTURES THE LEG AS HE’S ABOUT TO HAVE HIS SHOULDER SLAMMED DOWN ONTO IT, AND HE TRIPS DGS ONTO HIS STOMACH! Redwood swivels over and he hooks the leg of DGS, applying a HALF CRAB! WHAT A COUNTER! DGS HOWLS OUT IN AGONY! DGS reaches for the ropes, but Redwood refuses to relent! He’s gonna tear his knee off the bone if DGS doesn’t get out of this one!
Referee: (off-mic) DGS, DO YOU GIVE UP?!
David Gideon Smith: (off-mic) AHHHHHH!!! NOT AT ALL!
Jake Mercer: Redwood is synching back on that hold! David reaches out, running his hands through his hair! He bangs his fist in the canvas and he starts to crawl towards the ropes, but Redwood is still hanging tight! DGS reaches out, but Redwood won’t let go! He pushes his hands up on the canvas and rolls over, sending a kick to the back! He sends another kick, and he shoves Redwood away! Kirk falls into the ropes and DGS quickly rises to his feet, holding his leg in pain…
Flannery McCoy: Calf kick from Redwood! Another one, and DGS needs the ropes for support! Kirk snags a hold of his leg as he fires a dragon screw leg whip, but DGS sends a BRUTAL elbow into the side of his head that brings him down onto his ass! Redwood falls over, and DGS bounces off the ropes with a big boot to the jaw! Redwood falls over, and DGS quickly scoops him back onto his feet. He wraps his arms around his waist, trying a gutwrench lift—but his leg gives out on him!
Stew-O: David tries to lift Redwood off pure brute force, but Redwood runs him backwards into the turnbuckles! He takes the leg of DGS and wraps it around the middle rope, running off the ropes with A DROPKICK TO THE KNEE! David howls out in pain, and Redwood rises up to his feet, wasting no time. He seeks another dropkick, but as he runs the ropes, suddenly—they get pulled down behind him and he flips over to the floor!
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow is back in this one! She swings in the ring and David frees himself from the ropes, limping over to her …! But she sends him over with a back body drop as revenge for earlier! Now David and Kirk are both on the floor! What is Arrow thinking right now?! She grabs the ropes and looks outside the ring, then hastily begins to climb up the middle and then climbs the top turnbuckle! Redwood and DGS are struggling to make it up to their feet, while Holly is stalking them from the top ropes!
Jake Mercer: **DIVING PLANCHA FROM THE TOP BY ARROW ONTO DGS & REDWOOD!!!** JUST LIKE THAT, THIS MATCH HAS SHIFTED BACK IN FAVOR OF HOLLY! She rides up to her feet, clutching her stomach! She drags Redwood up to his feet and throws him into the ring! Holly slides in, grabbing Redwood into a pumphandle hold! Kirk struggles, trying to break free! AND SHE HEAVES HIM UP!
Stew-O: **MAGNETIC DESCENT!** REDWOOD GETS FLIPPED OUT AND CAUGHT WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER IN MID-AIR! ARROW CRAWLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEGS OF REDWOOD, FALLING BACK INTO THE COVER!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: DGS GETS HIS SHOULDER UP IN TIME! Arrow looks up to the referee and she is simply irate! That seemed like the perfect ending point of this match in her eyes, but Redwood still shows life! He rolls over, dazed and confused. Arrow pushes her hands up on the canvas and slowly rises up to her feet. Redwood lies there, gasping out in pain. Holly pulls Redwood up and clobbers him with a forearm to the jaw. Redwood stumbles, but he follows up with one of his own!
Jake Mercer: A lot weaker, though. The pain has to be searing through the neck of Redwood right now. Arrow with another one, and Kirk falls into the ropes! Holly takes the head of Redwood and starts throwing repeated forearms and Kirk covers up! She sends a punch to the body, but Redwood shoves her off! Holly staggers back, and Redwood leaps into a flying boot to the jaw! Holly goes down! Redwood runs the ropes, seeing hi chance!
Stew-O: He leaps into ‘BLITZKRI–’ NO! Holly moves out of the way, and Redwood staggers forward. Holly grabs the waist, trying another german suplex! Redwood stalls it and performs a standing switch! GERMAN SUPLEX FROM REDWOOD! Holly gets sent on the back of her head! Redwood rolls through, lifting her up once again! She flails her legs in the air and drops down, sending him over with an armdrag! Redwood rolls away, taking the ropes. He leans on them and here comes Holly!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk raises his boot to the jaw! Holly stumbles, but she charges in and Redwood throws her out through the middle rope to the apron! He takes the ropes and slingshots over, grabbing Holly by the head—and he spikes her with a DDT ON THE APRON! ARROW GETS LAID OUT! Kirk drags Holly up right after and he throws her into the ring!
Jake Mercer: Redwood climbs up onto the apron, placing his hands on the top rope. He calls Holly up to her feet, and this is an extremely precarious position for her to be in right now! We know what Redwood is capable of from the apron! HE SPRINGBOARDS UP! **’.50 CAL!!’**
Flannery McCoy: NO! DGS GRABS THE ANKLE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND TRIPS HIM DOWN ONTO THE APRON! REDWOOD FALLS OVER, AND HE’S OUT OF IT! DGS SLIDES IN, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE POSITION THAT HOLLY IS IN RIGHT NOW! He wraps his hands around her throat, heaving her off of the canvas in choke position!
Stew-O: DGS lifts Holly high up in the air! **CAEDOMORPH CLAW!** HE SPINS AROUND INTO THE BACKDROP DRIVER! ARROW JUST GETS DROPPED ONTO HER NECK! DGS rolls Arrow over and he hooks the legs for the cover, looking to put this one to bed!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRE—
Jake Mercer: REDWOOD **YANKS** DGS OUT OF THE RING! And DGS falls out with him! The two waste no time, throwing bombs outside the ring! It’s like a hockey fight out there, and they’re falling over the place, trying to get better position over each other as they just ram their knuckles into each other’s forehead like barbarians! Redwood sends a knee to the ribs of DGS, then grabs that worked leg and he swings it into the ring post! DGS falls over, holding his leg in pain!
Stew-O: He leans against the post, and Redwood sees his opportunity right there… DGS has no clue where Redwood is at behind him, and he’s trying to get some blood flow back into his leg so he can stand upright again—MY GOD!
Flannery McCoy: **BLITZKRIEG BOP INTO THE RING POST!** REDWOOD JUST DROVE HIS KNEE INTO DGS’ HEAD, DRIVING IT INTO THE STEEL POST! DOWN GOES DGS! REDWOOD MAY HAVE JUST STOLEN THIS ONE! He rolls back into the ring, aiming for Arrow—
Jake Mercer: —BUT THEY GAVE HER TOO MUCH TIME TO RECOVER! SHE PULLS REDWOOD DOWN INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! SHOULDERS PRESSED TO THE CANVAS! REDWOOD FLAILS HELPLESSLY!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRE—
Stew-O: He just *barely* kicks out! Both race up to their feet and Redwood tries to tackle Arrow into the turnbuckles but she sends him shoulder-first into the ring post! Redwood stumbles out, holding his shoulder in pain! Arrow turns around, hooking the arms of Redwood She takes advantage of the bad arm and she gradually carries him down with a backslide pinfall! Redwood’s shoulders are down again!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRE—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT! Redwood rises and Holly propels him up in the air! ‘VICTORIA!’ THE POP-UP KNEE STRIKE—NO! REDWOOD CATCHES THE LEG OF ARROW! HE HEAVES HER UP IN THE AIR AND BRINGS HER DOWN WITH A ONE-ARMED SPINEBUSTER! Arrow is laid out and Redwood falls backwards, leaning on the ropes. He huffs out in pain, but this one isn’t over for Kirk!
Jake Mercer: Redwood rolls underneath the bottom rope and he takes the ropes, taking his sweet time as he ascends up to the top rope… Arrow is still not moving in the position that he slammed her in, and that’s perfect for Redwood! He’s perched atop the ropes, and then he leaps off with a DIVING KNEE DROP! HIS KNEE JUST CRUSHES THE CHEST OF ARROW! SHE FELT EVERY BIT OF THAT!
Stew-O: Kirk wastes no time, rising to his feet and pulling Arrow up to her feet! He tucks her head down and he double underhooks the arms! Arrow tries to fight it with all she’s got, but Redwood isn’t giving her much of an option right now! Redwood heaves Arrow high up in the air for a TIGER DRIVER!
Flannery McCoy: ONLY FOR ARROW TO COUNTER WITH A HURRICANRANA IN MID-AIR! REDWOOD GETS SENT ACROSS THE RING! HE WASN’T EXPECTING THAT! Redwood pops right back up to his feet and charges into Arrow, who kicks his knees out! Redwood falls to his fours! He tries to kneel up—but Holly steps up onto his knee!
Jake Mercer: **’LODESTAR RISING!’** SHADES OF CAMERON ELLA AVA AS THE AXE KICK SENDS REDWOOD FACE FIRST DOWN INTO THE CANVAS! HE’S OUT OF IT! HOLLY ROLLS KIRK OVER FOR THE COVER! THIS MAY BE IT!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRE—
Stew-O: WAIT!!!
Flannery McCoy: **’METEOR VACUA!”** DGS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF ARROW’S HEAD! SHE JUST ROLLS OFF OF REDWOOD’S BODY! DGS CRAWLS OVER, STEALING THE PIN ON REDWOOD!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
(…)
Jake Mercer: NO! REDWOOD SHOOTS HIS SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! DGS should have gone for the pin on Arrow! But he sees his chance now! He pulls her up off of the canvas, tucking her head into his thighs! He wraps his arms around he waist and lifts HOLLY UP! HE ELEVATES HER HIGH IN THE AIR…
Stew-O: FOR **’THE ESCHATON POWERBOMB’** —
David Gideon Smith: (off-mic) AAAGGGHHHHH!!!
Flannery McCoy: REDWOOD WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BAD LEG! DGS FALLS… BUT HE FALLS FORWARD AND HE POWERBOMBS ARROW ANYWAYS! REDWOOD GRABS DAVID’S LEG IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND HE APPLIES AN ANKLE LOCK!
Stew-O: THE ANKLE LOCK IS IN! DAVID’S EYES WIDEN FROM THE PAIN, AND HIS FACE IS ALREADY TURNING BEET RED! REDWOOD WRENCHES ON THE ANKLE, AND DAVID IS TRAPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES, BUT KIRK CONTINUES TO TWIST AND TURN THE ANKLE WITH ALL HE’S GOT! HE MAY DISLOCATE THAT THING!
Jake Mercer: DGS PLANTS HIS FOREARMS ON THE MAT, AND HE BEGINS ARMY CRAWLING TO THE ROPES! NONETHELESS, KIRK REFUSES TO GIVE UP! HE DROPS DOWN, WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND THE ANKLE OF DGS! NOW HE **CAN’T** CRAWL! DGS IS STUCK IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Again, the referee is asking DGS if he wants to quit, but he REFUSES! Kirk keeps pulling and pulling on that ankle! DGS raises his hand in the air, contemplating… HE’S ABOUT TO TAP OUT!!!
Stew-O: BUT DGS BEGINS TO TURN TO HIS SIDE! HE STARTS TO KICK HIS LEG OUT! HE’S DOING HIS BEST TO GET FREE… YOU CAN’T SLEEP ON HIS GRAPPLING SKILLS EITHER! Redwood is starting to lose his grip on the ankle with David beginning to turn! He frees one leg, and then he uses that to explode out into a heel hook—
Jake Mercer: NO! DGS WRIGGLES FREE BEFORE REDWOOD CAN GET IT! REDWOOD FALLS ONTO HIS FOURS AS A RESULT, AND DGS LEAPS FORWARD, TAKING THE BACK! He wants a rear naked choke hold, but Redwood uses his fingers to create a gap between David’s forearm and his neck!
Flannery McCoy: Redwood squats, trying to force energy in his lower half to get a judo throw, but Redwood swivels around the body and instead he locks in a STANDING ARM TRIANGLE! Redwood gasps for air, as DGS has it in tight…
Stew-O: AND HE HOISTS HIM UP HIGH IN THE AIR! **THE PYRAMIDION!** HE THROWS KIRK ONTO HIS NECK WITH A URA-NAGE! YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! WHERE DID DAVID EVEN FIND THAT BURST OF ENERGY FROM?!
Jake Mercer: I don’t know, but he needs to go for the cover before it’s too late! David slowly drags his leg against the mat, falling on top of Redwood for the cover!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
(…)
Flannery McCoy: **ARROW BREAKS THE PIN AT THE LAST SECOND!** THAT WAS AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL, BUT THIS ONE CONTINUES! DGS rolls off of Kirk, taking a deep breath. Arrow lies there as well. All three Elitists are hurting right now, but the only thing left to do is leave with the win! Holly pushes her hands on the mat and she slowly builds up to her feet, as does DGS, though he’s only on one leg!
Stew-O: DGS looks at Holly, shaking his head. Holly immediately charges in for a forearm! DGS BLOCKS IT! HE SPINS AROUND! **THE BLACK BLADE!** NO! HOLLY DUCKS THE LARIAT!
Jake Mercer: Arrow spins DGS around and kicks the gut! She hooks the head and arm, trying to heave the big man up for **PSISONIC CROSSBOW!** NO! DGS STALLS IT! She tries to lift him up again, but DGS lifts her up high in the air instead! Holly still has that arm and head hooked, though! DGS is trying to transition to a fireman’s carry—
Stew-O: BUT IT’S ARROW WHO USES THE MOMENTUM THAT DGS IS TRYING TO GENERATE INTO HER FAVOR AND SHE SPINS AROUND INTO **’SUNSET PEAK!’** THE OCTOPUS STRETCH IS LOCKED IN! ARROW HAS HER LEGS WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY OF DGS LIKE A BOA CONSTRICTOR!
Jake Mercer: DGS cries out in pain as Arrow digs her elbow into his rib cage, and she pulls back on the arm! DGS is trying to fight through the pain, gritting his teeth as she continues to wrench on his arm! It’s not enough, though! DGS won’t give in, no matter how uncomfortable it may feel for him right now! DGS reaches for the ropes, but Holly is trying to wheel him backwards at the risk of falling over!
Flannery McCoy: He tumbles backwards, but Holly won’t relent! DGS reaches for the ropes, but he’s starting to give out… He’s starting to fall to a kneel, and by this point, his body is starting to wear down! If DGS doesn’t tap out here, he’ll practically be trapped in the center of the ring until she rips that arm off….
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT!
Jake Mercer: DGS SUDDENLY EXPLODES TO HIS FEET! AND HE FALLS BACKWARDS, RAMMING HOLLY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! HOLLY RELEASES DGS AND SHE FALLS OVER, AS DOES HE! He rolls away from her, crawling up to his feet, and he sees Redwood trying to get up to his feet, so he shoves him out the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Arrow desperately staggers behind DGS and she brings him down with a schoolboy rollup, from out of nowhere! Holly is looking to steal this one before it’s too late!
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM DGS! Both rise to their feet and he swings for her! SHE DUCKS AND GRABS HER IN A WRIST CLUTCH! HOLLY TRIES TO HEAVE DGS UP FOR ‘ODIN’S LOST EYE!” THE WRIST-CLUTCH OLYMPIC SLAM—NO! DGS FLOATS OVER HER, SHOVING HOLLY TO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: ARROW BOUNCES OFF, RUNNING BACK TO DGS…!!! **THE UN|MAKER!** SUPERMAN ELBOW CATCHES ARROW OFF GUARD! HE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE BLACK BLADE ALL NIGHT, SO HE GOT WHAT HOLLY WAS LEAST EXPECTING! DGS GOT HER, AND NOW HE NEEDS TO GO FOR THE COVER….!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HIS LEG BUCKLES ON THE LANDING OF THAT ELBOW! DGS YELLS OUT IN PAIN! He tries to push himself up to his feet and make his way back over to Arrow—
Stew-O: **’PAROLE VIOLATION!’** REDWOOD FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THAT SPEAR COMING OVER THE TOP ROPE! DGS JUST GOT LAID OUT! REDWOOD QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEGS! IS THIS IT?!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!
(…)
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH, KIIIIRRRRKKKKK!!! RREEEDDDDDWOOOODDDDDD!!!!
(Redwood rolls off of DGS, gasping for air. Amanda rolls in and helps him up to his feet. The referee takes his arm and raises it up high. DGS is still reeling from that Spear, meanwhile Holly is beginning to come to and realizes what just happened.)
Jake Mercer: You may argue that Redwood stood that one, but all I saw was precision! He caught DGS off guard, and well, DGS just didn’t do a good enough job at taking Redwood out of the equation!
Stew-O: That’s what happens in hectic matches like this! Too much going on at once, he was trying to focus on Holly and that ended up costing him!
Flannery McCoy: Nonetheless, a great showing from all three. Of course, you have to give your props to Redwood who leaves with his head held high and his arm raised! The only question is though… what will Redwood be receiving from this victory?
(And that question lingers as the broadcast fades to commercials.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The lights go out and fireworks shoot up from the stage, exploding in a purple blast as ‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE begins to play. Smoke fills the stage and just as the song reaches its lyrics, Raven Roberts steps out onto the stage with her arms up in a pose and wearing a pair of large black feathered wings that are harnessed to her shoulders about four feet wide on each side, extended as though she could take flight.)
(Raven holds her pose briefly, looking out amongst the roaring fans and soaking in the moment. As she makes her way down the ramp, she keeps her eyes focused on the ring—but there’s no smirk. Not after everything.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing in Atlanta, Georgia, she is ‘The Bird of Prey’… RAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEN ROOOOOOBEEEEEERRRTS!
Stew-O: An intense match tonight for Raven Roberts as she and KASAI have been going back and forth for the past couple of weeks. Things became more personal once KASAI revealed that she was keeping tabs on Raven, showcasing some intimate details that she believes Raven has been trying to hide.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, I can’t lie—Raven is coming out with that look as though she’s ready to kick some ass! We know that Raven hardly ever holds back, but after everything that has transpired? Don’t be surprised if things get ugly between these two.
Flannery: No punches are going to be spared; that’s for certain.
(Once Raven is in the ring, getting rid of the feathers, ‘NAKAMURA’ by Lil Uzi Vert plays. KASAI comes out, and she takes the moment to stare right at Raven from there. A serpent-like smirk crawls across her face. Raven crouches in her corner, knuckles white as her hands curl tightly along the top rope.)
(KASAI snickers, and stalks down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent! From Amani, Kagoshima, Japan, she is the 2026 Empress of Elite… ‘The Matriarch’, KAAAAASAAAAAAAAI!
Stew-O: KASAI has been playing a dangerous game since her path became directed at Raven. Yet, the Matriarch does not show an ounce of anxiety or fear tonight. This could very well be all part of some grand plan she’s concocting.
Jake Mercer: Could be. For as unstable and, well, batshit crazy she can be, there has certainly been a method behind her madness. She put the call out, and Raven answered it. Even if people think she’s gone too far with divulging personal details about her, if she gets the win tonight, then she could truly cement the fact that she is a danger everyone has to take heed from.
Flannery McCoy: She has the Empress crown, but it isn’t enough. She wants to make sure that when the time comes for her to challenge for the Universal Women’s Championship, there won’t be any doubts. She is a world champion in the making, and with a potential win tonight? That could feel like an inevitability.
(KASAI enters the ring, shrugging off her sprawling jacket. She meets Raven’s eyes one more time, having an uncannily calm look to her. The referee makes sure both women were ready to go, and once that is confirmed…)
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: The bell rings—AND RAVEN ROBERTS DASHES OUT, CATCHING KASAI WITH A FOREARM RIGHT TO THE FACE! She continues to push her in, forcing her into the corner as she carries on, smashing her face repeatedly with no absolute give! Oh my goodness!
Jake Mercer: :roman: !! Well, Raven warned KASAI that anytime someone tries to invoke personal means leading up to a match against her, it often gets violent, and she’s showing why that is the case! She isn’t horsing around! She continues to attack with those rapid-fire forearms until the referee steps in, forcing Raven to back off! The energy is great, but remember: this is a *standard* singles match. If she gets too carried away, she can risk disqualification!
Flannery McCoy: Fortunately, Raven is able to remember as she nods at the official, not looking to jeopardize her chances of winning. Meanwhile, KASAI is… *laughing*?
Stew-O: Raven takes note of it, and she is not amused. She steps forward, but this time, she grabs the reigning Empress of Elite by the wrist and snapmares her down to a seated position in the ring. She shoots forward and lands a stiff kick to the spine! Raven has her game face on, letting KASAI know that the games end right here!
Jake Mercer: …? But KASAI is laughing again. What the hell is going on? Raven’s brow knit together in frustration, especially with her opponent coming back up, nodding her head at her.
KASAI: (off-mic) Come on, Raven… I thought you hated me. Is that all you got?
Flannery McCoy: Some deliberate taunting to boot. KASAI looks to do everything she can to get inside Raven’s head, but the former multi-time champion isn’t going to allow for that to happen! She responds with a sharp knee to the gut, and that doubles KASAI over!
Raven Roberts: (off-mic) Shut the hell up.
Stew-O: Raven pushes her back into the ropes, using the bounce of them to send KASAI running forward. She bounces back on the rebound, and Roberts charges in with a boot, aiming for the face—yet KASAI is able to slide under it! Raven whirls around, but this time, she gets nailed with a foot to the gut, courtesy of that spinning back heel kick! KASAI roars in, snapping her head back with a knee to the jaw! Roberts is starting to look shaky, and the Matriarch looks to take advantage of that momentary weakness. She has a hold of her left arm!
Jake Mercer: Oh, Raven with a forearm! And another one! KASAI lets go, and Raven strikes across her chest with a chop! A knee of her own brings her closer, and she grabs her, looking to send her rolling through with an arm drag! She gets it! KASAI shoots back up to her feet but is TAKEN DOWN WITH A DROPKICK! Raven doesn’t waste time either—she immediately pounces on her, keeping her trapped in between her legs with the mount, and starts teeing off with some more punches to the dome! KASAI didn’t account for that possibly happening!
Flannery McCoy: Raven is fighting with some anger here tonight, but so far, she’s not getting reckless with it. Her experience is coming in handy—but KASAI manages to reach out and shove her off! Raven backs up and comes back in, going for a dropkick aimed for the side of her head!
Stew-O: KASAI narrowly escapes it! Raven sits up, BUT SHE MIGHT GET HER HEAD TAKEN OFF! ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Jake Mercer: NO! Raven fell back and, in one full swoop, swings KASAI down into a pinning predicament! Shoulders are stacked against the mat!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Quick kickout! Raven looks for another move—and she’s swept down by KASAI who used her legs to trip her! KASAI stands, traps her arm between her legs, and rolls forward! Now Raven is the one caught in a pin after that magistral cradle!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: Another swift kickout here in this contest! Empress and Huntress meet up once again and throw dueling forearms! BOTH connect! KASAI grins, clutching her jaw, whereas Raven stare daggers into her, shaking off the sting she’s feeling from that shot!
Flannery McCoy: And Raven isn’t about to let up; she shoots in, going for a takedown! However, KASAI plants her feet firmly into the mat, grounding herself from the attempt! She clobbers her over the back! Raven continues to persist, however, and she switches her stance up, dropping low and tripping her down with her own legs! KASAI goes down, and Raven grasps at her ankle, no doubt going for a submission!
Stew-O: And KASAI realizes that, which is why she uses her free foot to snap a kick her way! The heel of her boot catches Raven right on the nose, and she lets go! Raven’s checking to see if she’s possibly bleeding from that wicked shot—
Jake Mercer: BUT SHE’S LEVELLED WITH A SLIDING KNEE! WOW! That damn near knocked her out!
Flannery McCoy: No doubt about it! Raven looks completely stunned! KASAI comes back up and immediately latches onto her, forcing her along! She sets her up, and DROPS HER WITH A BACK SUPLEX, CAUSING RAVEN TO LAND RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! OH MY GOODNESS!
Stew-O: And just like that, the match gets flipped on its head! What a nasty manuever! Raven clutches her head, but KASAI pushes her down and hooks the leg, going for another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOO—
Jake Mercer: She gets her shoulder up! I can’t lie, though—I wouldn’t be surprised if that had put Raven completely out of commission! Adrenaline is definitely a hell of a drug, because that would’ve made lesser Elitists unable to continue.
Flannery McCoy: Raven’s had her fair share of battles and nasty bumps throughout her career. However, she’s weak in this state, and KASAI looks to capitalize on that. She drags her up and takes her into the corner, smashing her face against the top turnbuckle padding! The whiplash causes Raven to crumble to her knee, favoring the back of her head and neck. KASAI stands behind and presses her foot against the head, almost going for an inverse split choke in the corner! Raven grits her teeth, and you can see the pain radiating across her face as she’s unable to escape this predicament!
Stew-O: She’s struggling, and the referee steps in, telling KASAI she can’t do that. They begin to admonish her, but the Matriarch looks at them with an unconcerned expression.
KASAI: (off-mic) I’ll do whatever it is that I wish, you fool. Back off.
Jake Mercer: The referee isn’t going to stand for that, though! They grab her shoulder—and KASAI stares them down like a hawk!
Referee: :kurt:
Stew-O: The official appears to be intimidated for some reason! They back off, and KASAI grabs Raven by the hair! She sends her SPIRALING OUT WITH THE HAIR WHIP! Raven can only muster enough energy at the moment to rest on her forearms and knees, clutching her head! Her scalp has got to be on fire after that toss!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but things are going to get a whole lot worse! Raven tries getting up, but from behind is KASAI! She shoots in and WIPES HER OUT WITH A SHINING WIZARD! HOLY HELL!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, no! Raven got rocked! She’s sprawled out, and KASAI covers!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Raven is able to spur on another kickout, but you can tell that shining wizard—which I believe KASAI adapted from Brianna Hill—has her head spinning. She’s slow to get up, whereas KASAI? She’s more than ready to keep going here.
Jake Mercer: You’re right. The minute your head, let alone the back of it, becomes a target, it’s not going to be easy for anyone to recover at one hundred percent. And that’s exactly the opening KASAI needed. She peels Raven off the canvas and tucks her in, possibly thinking a suplex…
Flannery McCoy: But she’s stopped mid-motion by a punch in the ribs from Raven! Raven trying to fight back here, even if it’s hard for her to do!
Jake Mercer: Something is better than nothing. Let’s just hope she’s able to do something significant, though, because KASAI isn’t budging! In fact, the Matriarch changes course and drives a brutal knee into *her* ribs, as if she’s reciprocating the attack! Raven coughs out, weakening, and KASAI is able to lift her up and over for the snap suplex! Raven purses her lips, either holding back a gasp or a curse word from escaping, and rolls toward the ropes.
Stew-O: KASAI sits back up, and you can see her grinning, running the tip of her tongue along the top row of her teeth. She’s firmly in the driver’s seat, and she likes that.
Flannery McCoy: She does—and she’s looking to maintain the lead she has over Raven. She snatches her wrist and drags her up, whipping her into the corner! Raven hits sternum-first and stumbles out in a daze backwards before dropping on her rear. Meanwhile, KASAI hits the ropes, and comes back in WITH A RUNNING PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST! GOOD LORD, DID YOU HEAR THAT?!
Jake Mercer: I heard it, I felt it, and I think half the building did too! Raven nearly got turned inside out from that shot! KASAI drops into another cover, this time folding her up tightly!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Raven gets the shoulder up again! KASAI sits up with that same unnerving smile on her face, but you can tell there’s some irritation creeping in now. Raven is hurt, no doubt about it, but she’s still fighting, still refusing to stay down!
Stew-O: KASAI drags her up by the arm and twists it, wringing all the way through that shoulder! Raven winces, and KASAI uses that control to yank her straight into a short-arm lariat—NO! RAVEN DUCKS UNDER! She rebounds off the ropes behind her—AND COMES BACK WITH A FOREARM!
Jake Mercer: KASAI DOESN’T GO DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Raven fires another one! STILL NOT ENOUGH! KASAI is rocked, but she’s standing! Raven roars and hits the ropes one more time! She closes the distance and WIPES HER OUT WITH A SPEAR TO THE MIDSECTION! THAT ONE FINALLY TAKES THE EMPRESS OFF HER FEET!
Stew-O: That was desperation mixed with pure instinct! Raven crawls over, still clearly feeling the effects of those shots to the head, but she knows she needs momentum here! She pulls KASAI up and lifts her! T-BONE SUPLEX! Wow, she got all of that and more!
Jake Mercer: That’s what she needed here! She quickly shoots into the cover on KASAI!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: KASAI kicks out, but Raven is starting to build something! You can see it in her eyes that she knows she has to press while she’s got this window open! Even with the pain she’s in, Roberts is able to work back up on her feet—all while her hands continue to maintain a grip on the Empress. She’s not going to give KASAI a single inch here!
Stew-O: Raven has her up, but KASAI pushes her arms off and pivots on her feet, catching her gut with a kick! Raven doubles over once more! KASAI runs to the right, hitting the ropes, and comes back, looking for a YAKUZA KICK—
Jake Mercer: It misses! Raven moved out of the way, making KASAI whizz right past her! Raven quickly creeps up behind—NECKBREAKER! Down goes KASAI, and Raven runs to the ropes! She springs off the middle, CONNECTING WITH THE LIONSAULT! Beautifully executed!
Flannery McCoy: Raven got all of that on KASAI! The Empress is now clutching her midsection, showing some pain, but Roberts isn’t stopping for a single second. She hosts her up, and it looks like she might go for the ‘Huntress Bomb’!
Stew-O: Wait! Elbows! Elbows! KASAI is throwing elbows to the side of her head, attacking in rapid succession, looking to get her to let go! Raven is *trying* to persist, but you can tell she’s getting weaker by the moment with each pointed shot that lands!
Jake Mercer: It’s starting to look bad… but, wait, Raven readjusts her grip on KASAI. She has her now in a bear hug-like hold, and—oh, SHIT! SHE’S RUNNING TOWARD THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: SHE CRASHES KASAI INTO THE CORNER! She thought on the spot, and it worked! KASAI crumbles down as Raven backpedals, dropping to a knee! She’s holding the side of her head, but at least with that break, she was able to curtail KASAI’s efforts before she could escape and attack her!
Stew-O: She did. Raven is able to recover and makes her way back to the Empress. She snatches her up and traps her in a tree of woe. Her hand reaches down to grab her jaw, and Raven snarls at her!
Raven Roberts: (off-mic) This is what happens when you decide to cross lines with me, KASAI.
Jake Mercer: Raven with some emphatic words for KASAI before she walks out to the opposite end of the ring. She turns back around, gaining ground as she runs! She picks up her speed—AND SHE COMES IN WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE MUSH! DAMN!!
Flannery McCoy: Raven put everything into that attack! KASAI slumps down and rolls out to the apron! Perhaps she got more than she bargained for after all, because since Raven found her second wind in this contest, she hasn’t been letting up!
Stew-O: That could very well be the case—and if Raven is able to maintain this wave of momentum she’s been riding on, victory tonight might be near for her. She steps out onto the apron, rejoining the Empress who’s trying to recover. She grabs her head and leads her back to her feet before propping her up on her shoulder! You just KNOW this isn’t going to end well! It never does whenever an Elitist is in this position!
Jake Mercer: Oh, dear. I don’t know what Raven has planned here, but if she lands it, that could be game, set, match!
Flannery McCoy: The Empress of Elite is stuck! Raven has her dead to rights! She walks out some more and SENDS HER PLUMMETING DOWN AGAINST THE APRON WITH THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Jake Mercer: :damn: :damn: :damn: THAT HAS TO BE IT!
Stew-O: Raven Roberts spared no expense! She shoves KASAI back inside and follows after, sliding in! Now, she yanks her up—’HUNTRESS BOMB’ SHE LANDS IT!
Jake Mercer: And with the sit-out position, that gives her the immediate leverage she needs! A cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! This match isn’t over just yet! KASAI kicked out!
Stew-O: Wow! The Matriarch was able to avoid a losing fate on her end! Raven lets out a deep breath; she thought she had the match won in that moment, but KASAI isn’t willing to give up. She’s going to have to do some more damage before she can definitively put her away!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but she’s got a base to build off of. KASAI is hurting in a bad way right now, vulnerable as can be—and Raven is making sure that remains as she gets her up, trapping her arms. She raises her—BUTTERFLY BACKBREAKER! Raven’s found her target, and she’s keeping it!
Flannery McCoy: KASAI is down, and Raven presses her knee into her spine! She reaches over, prying that chin backward, and she’s got a submission applied! So much strain is being placed on that back! The referee asks KASAI if she wants to give up, but she’s telling them no!
Stew-O: And Raven isn’t pleased with that! She digs the knee further, wrenching the head back some more. She’s determined to make KASAI quit, and after everything, being able to get her to lose here would be a cathartic release!
Jake Mercer: Yet, KASAI continues to refuse, *insisting* that she isn’t going to give up! And Raven, realizing this, decides to switch courses by getting up and dragging her along! She lifts her up, GOING FOR ANOTHER ‘HUNTRESS BOMB”!
Flannery McCoy: BELL CLAP! Raven lets go and stumbles, holding her ears from that! KASAI managed to rock her! Raven walks forward—
Stew-O: ‘ABDICATION’!! RAVEN GOES BARRELING DOWN AFTER GETTING CAUGHT WITH THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER!! KASAI TURNS AROUND, AND SCRAMBLES TO THE TOP! RAVEN ISN’T MOVING!
Jake Mercer: Oh damn, just like that, KASAI could clinch this match in her favor! We know what she’s going to do from this position!
Flannery McCoy: We do! She looks back briefly, making sure that Raven is right in her shot, and she takes off! ‘KITSUNE’S BLESSING!’
Stew-O: AND KASAI DRIVES HER FEET RIGHT INTO THE STOMACH OF RAVEN ROBERTS! WHAT A NASTY COLLISION! RAVEN IS IN AN INSANE AMOUNT OF PAIN, AND KASAI GOES FOR THE PIN! CAN SHE GET THE WIN!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE……….!
Jake Mercer: NO!! RAVEN ROBERTS SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP!!
Stew-O: AND THE FANS HERE IN THE DODGERS STADIUM COME ALIVE FOR THAT! KASAI GETS UP ON HER KNEES, STARING AT RAVEN IN DISBELIEF BEFORE SHE GAZE SHIFTS TO THE REFEREE! SHE ASKS HIM IF THEY’RE SURE AND THEY MAINTAIN THAT RAVEN GOT THE ARM UP IN TIME! THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t lie, I don’t blame KASAI for being shocked or annoyed. That sequence of moves was as smooth as possible; there was no hesitation on her part, and that moonsault stomp in particular connected perfectly! But that goes to show the level Raven is operating at tonight. She wants to make KASAI pay, and she’s fighting with as much spite and anger as she is resolve!
Jake Mercer: :whew: You took the words right out of my mouth, Flannery! Hate is truly a grand motivator! However, KASAI isn’t impressed, and she grits her teeth. She did anticipate that to end in the match!
Stew-O: She can be upset, but the fact remains that this match continues onward! Raven has her arm curled around her midsection, coughing, and KASAI realizes that she’s still in a vulnerable spot! She crawls over to Raven, grabbing her hair…AND CRASHES DOWN HER FOREHEAD WITH A HEADBUTT!
Jake Mercer: :yikes: !! That almost knocked Raven out! The Matriarch shoots in with another headbutt, and that impact did NOT sound good at all! Jesus, my own head is hurting from watching this!
Flannery McCoy: A *third* headbutt is delivered, and she lets go, allowing for Raven’s head to drop to the canvas! I-I think she may have busted a part of that forehead too, because I’m seeing blood!
Stew-O: That she has! The referee immediately steps in, checking on Raven to see if she can continue, but… the sight doesn’t look too good.
Jake Mercer: KASAI is slow to rise, hurt in her own right, but she looks at Raven… and I don’t know if she’s mocking or disgusted. Either way, she comes in, bypassing the referee, and forces Raven into a kneeling position where she PROCEEDS TO KICK HER REPEATEDLY IN THAT WOUND! More blood comes gashing out!
Flannery McCoy: Raven is weak as is, but this is making everything worse! She can’t even defend herself in this manner! She’s an unfortunate recipient of each kick, and KASAI continues to have her way with her! The referee steps in, getting KASAI to back off, and she crouches down with that sick glint in her eyes! The fans begin to boo, not liking this whatsoever!
Stew-O: Such a visceral shot. Could be a chance that this match gets waived due to Raven being unable to continue, and KASAI gets the win that way!
Jake Mercer: Or… maybe not—*because Raven is starting to sit up* and she’s looking right at KASAI!
Flannery McCoy: What? But look at how bloodied her face is now! You can barely see her eyes with how much she’s drenched in red!
Stew-O: Raven doesn’t seem to care! She still wants to fight! She continues to move, planting her palms against the canvas, using as much strength as she still has to get up… AND SHE’S ON HER FEET AGAIN! WHAT THE—!?
Jake Mercer: Raven isn’t going down without a fight! KASAI looks at her, almost in disbelief, but she grits her teeth and runs in, GOING FOR A ROLLING KOPPU KICK!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RAVEN CATCHES HER HEAD BEFORE IT DIPS WITH THE ‘FACELIFT’! ‘FACELIFT’ CONNECTS! KASAI GOES BARRELING TO THE OUTSIDE AS SHE GETS WIPED OUT FROM THAT SPINNING HEEL KICK! HOW RAVEN EVEN HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO DO THAT IS BEYOND ME, BUT WOW, THAT WAS DESPERATELY NEEDED!
Stew-O: Absolutely! Who knows what would’ve happened if that kick from KASAI landed!? The Empress can barely stand in her own right, standing shakily as she’s trying to recover, but that kick may have knocked some sense out of her!
Jake Mercer: Raven nearly collapses to her knees, but she keeps herself standing… and through that bloodied gaze, she takes note of KASAI! She—wait, Raven is *running!* The pained jog turns into a sprint, and she GOES THROUGH THE ROPES LIKE A TORPEDO! SUICIDE DIVE CANADIAN DESTROYER!!
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S THE ‘FLYING DESTROYER’!! THE BIRD OF PREY GETS THE EMPRESS WITH ALL OF IT, AND KASAI’S HEAD IS SPIKED ONTO THE HARD RINGSIDE FLOORING! SHE MIGHT BE DONE FOR!
Stew-O: SHE VERY WELL COULD BE! RAVEN HOBBLES BACK UP, GRABBING KASAI AND FLINGING HER BACK INTO THE RING! RAVEN NEARLY TRIPS OVER HERSELF, THE ADRENALINE BEGINNING TO WANE, BUT SHE KEEPS GOING UNTIL SHE CLIMBS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP ROPE FROM THE OUTSIDE! SHE ISN’T GOING TO SLOW DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Don’t tell me that she is going to hit it…
Flannery McCoy: She just might! Against all odds, despite the blood, despite the pain, she is adamant on ending KASAI RIGHT HERE and RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: And just like before, when KASAI hoped to seal the deal with her finisher from the top, Raven is attempting the same thing! KASAI is sprawled out, not moving! And Raven Roberts, WITH THE ULTIMATE LEAP OF FAITH, TAKES OFF!
(…)
Jake Mercer: ‘RAVEN’S WINGS’!!! SHE GETS IT!!!
Flannery McCoy: SHE DID! THE FANS GO WILD, AND THIS COULD BE IT! RAVEN HOOKS THE LEG WEAKLY, AND THE REFEREE SLIDSE IN, INITIATING THE COUNT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
Stew-O: NO! KASAI GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Jake Mercer: What!? No way!
Flannery McCoy: The fans are in disbelief! Raven *herself* is in disbelief! Everyone thought it was over, but KASAI is showing just how truly tough she is in her own right! She has her arm up, refusing to yield here!
Stew-O: Oh wow! Raven slumps to her side, trying to wipe off most of the blood that continues to trickle down her face, but you can still see how she’s not at all happy with this match continuing! She thought that was it!
Jake Mercer: Damn. That’s how it goes sometimes—even your best shot may not get the job done just yet. However, she shouldn’t despair. As bad as her current physical state is, KASAI isn’t in a better spot. She just needs to keep her composure and focus on ending things!
Flannery McCoy: That is true. Raven looks as though she wants to break something right now, but she knows better. She breathes heavily, taking hold of KASAI by the wrist, and she drags her toward the corner. I’m not entirely sure what she could have in mind here, but she’s definitely intent on ending this match sooner rather than later.
Stew-O: Yeah, she knows what has to be done. Raven puts a foot on the bottom rope—but she’s stopped! KASAI has a hand on her leg! And she’s… she’s laughing *again!*
KASAI: (off-mic) *Ahehehehe……*
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Raven doesn’t dignify it, however—she takes her other foot and STOMPS down hard on that hand! KASAI lets go, clutching it to her chest, as Raven continues the climb upward. She might try and go for that spinal tap one more time!
Stew-O: Raven’s at the top—
(Then, the fans all shriek. Everything happens fast.)
Jake Mercer: Oh, no no, nononono, NO! WHAT THE FUCK!??
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
(The moment Raven gets to the top, she feels a set of hands push her forward, sending her flying.)
Stew-O: RAVEN ROBERTS IS FALLING! KASAI SHOT BACK UP AND PUSHED HER OFF!
(CRAAAAAAASH!)
Jake Mercer: AND SHE TUMBLES DOWN TO THE FUCKING STEEL STEPS! OH GOD! OH NO!!
Flannery McCoy: RAVEN SLUMPS OFF OF THE STEPS AND FALLS DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!
(And KASAI, leaning against the ropes, lets out another laugh.)
KASAI: (off-mic) AHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(The fans look on in horror as all that Raven can move are her fingers, which twitch.)
Stew-O: WHAT AN AWFUL THING TO WITNESS! JUST WHEN RAVEN WAS ABOUT TO PUT KASAI AWAY, THE EMPRESS REGAINED ONE MORE SWEEP OF AIR AND STOOD, SHOVING HER ONTO THE STEPS! THE REFEREE IS IN SHOCK THEMSELVES!
Jake Mercer: You know, we’ve seen some awful, and I mean TRULY awful spots here, but something like that… *Jesus*.
Flannery McCoy: And guess who finds it all entertaining? KASAI. In fact, the Empress has rolled out of the ring and grabs Raven, who’s practically immobile, so that she can shove her back into the ring.
Stew-O: Oh no, not like this…
Jake Mercer: KASAI is back in the ring. She doesn’t have much left in her own tank, but The Matriarch has her eyes locked on her foe! She walks over to Raven, bringing her foot under her chin, and lifts her head up…
Flannery McCoy: She spins—WITH THE ‘MATRICIDE’!! THE SKULL KICK LANDS FLUSH AGAINST THE SIDE OF RAVEN ROBERTS’ SKULL! SHE GOES DOWN, AND KASAI COVERS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘NAKAMURA’ by Lil Uzi Vert blares out, drawing a wave of boos from the fans. KASAI sits up, letting out a laugh as she holds the back of her head.)
Stephie Love: Here is YOUR winner…. KAAAAAASAAAAAAAAIIIIII!
Stew-O: What a match, and what an ending! KASAI defeats Raven Roberts, and what a statement she made along with that!
Jake Mercer: Raven really brought it to her. As anticipated, this match was violent and cringe-inducing. However, KASAI was able to get by in the end, and with that god-awful spill Raven took, it sealed the deal.
Flannery McCoy: I really do hope nothing permanent has occurred. :lupe: But I guess we’ll be updated on Raven’s condition if anything develops. Still, congratulations to KASAI, as regardless of how ugly this win was, this is one of her biggest victories in her career. :wow:
(Raven is checked out by medical personnel. Meanwhile, KASAI slithers out of the ring, grinning develishly. The final shot focuses on her face before Operation: Doomsday fades elsewhere…)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest…. IS THE IRON SURVIVOR CHALLENGE!!!! Two elitists begin, followed by the entrance of another elitist for every five minute interval. Disqualifications continue to apply, with ninety seconds inside the penalty box for the elitist who suffers the fall. The elitist with the most falls by the thirty minute mark, will become the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
Crowd: :blessed:
(‘In My Blood’ by The Score can be heard throughout the arena as Rex McAllister makes his way outward from the entrance ramp as he has a positive expression, giving a brief glance toward the audience. Rex takes a deep breath, fully understanding the opportunity presented through this match as he doesn’t waste another second walking down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Sea Isle, New Jersey, weighing in at 238 pounds… REXXXXX MCALLISTER!!!
Stew-O: Rex McAllister steps into Iron Survivor looking to become World Champion again should he emerge victorious, there is no telling how prepared he will be after all of the wars he has endured through in the past as well.
Flannery McCoy: Can’t deny that at all! Rex McAllister continues to operate at an increasingly high level despite the years that he has spent as an elitist, who continues to raise that bar every single time. Tonight, Rex will have to start from the beginning, and run the marathon of a lifetime.
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is still heard blaring throughout the speakers, with Drake King making his way out from the back & standing at the entrance ramp with a deadset expression on his face. Drake looks outward with his focus intact, the crowd continuing to let their reactions be heard as he would proceed to walk down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From Heaven’s Gate, weighing in at 220 pounds… HE IS ‘GOD’, DRAAAAAAKE, KINGGGGGG!!!
Stew-O: Drake King will be venturing into the wildfire to come tonight as Iron Survivor is never the kindest to those who are starting in this match, but Drake has proven time and time again that he can usher what’s necessary to get the job done.
Jake Mercer: Drake King is one of the most dangerous elitists possible stepping into the fray with other insanely hungry elitists, but this match means everything when you want to recapture all of that glory that you had & bring back an era to reign over! We’re ready to kick the hell off!
(# 0:00)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! Iron Survivor officially kicks off as this match is now set to go underway! Drake King & Rex McAllister are beginning this match as the clock is now ticking upwards, five minutes until we see the introduction of the next participant!
Flannery McCoy: AS DRAKE & REX RUSH TOWARD ONE ANOTHER! FOREARMS FIRING OFF AS THERE WON’T BE ANY SLOW STARTS TONIGHT!! The forearms are being given in mass as this doesn’t seem to be the kind of match where you can be patient with how each fall matters!
Jake Mercer: AND REX IS REVVING UP! KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST OF DRAKE KING! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! Drake is not looking too sharp at the moment ‘cause Rex is just mounting up all of the offense while leaving Drake staggered against the ropes! The referee is counting down as McAllister is refusing to let up, each chop lighting up Drake King against the ropes!
Stew-O: McAllister finally backs away, his hands briefly raised as Drake King is leaned against the ropes, while Rex doesn’t waste another time as he’s now RUSHING TO THE ROPES & REBOUNDING BACK, LOOKING FOR THE JUMPING KNEE TOWARD DRAKE KING FROM HERE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MOTIONS AWAY! Rex stops himself at the ropes as he holds on, quickly turning himself toward Drake and looking to maintain the pressure—BUT DRAKE WITH A ROLLING ELBOW THAT ROCKS MCALLISTER! Rex is left staggering backward and into the corner, as Drake is refusing to let the moment go to waste by rushing himself back toward McAllister without another second thought!
Jake Mercer: RUNNING KNEE IN THE CORNER!!! Across the jaw of Rex as he’s left in the corner, struggling to keep himself steady as Drake is now dragging Rex McAllister away from the corner, and he’s dragging McAllister right over his own shoulders as he’s now hoisting him upward! Drake is motioning toward the opposite corner, AS HE’S RUSHING OVER FOR THE BUCKLE BOMB—
Stew-O: REX SHIFTS OVER & BEHIND DRAKE WHILE ON HIS FEET—AS HE REACHES FOR A SLEEPERHOLD! Drake is caught in the sleeperhold for the time being as Rex is looking to wear Drake King down considerably! He’s refusing to let up as Drake will now to find his own way out of this predicament here! Any submission this early into the match can signal the worst to come if this wears you down for the rest of the opponents to come!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE THINKS QUICKLY AS HE MOTIONS MCALLISTER TOWARD THE ROPES, PUSHING HIMSELF & REX ONTO THE APRON!!! Rex is able to let go and hold onto the ropes as does Drake, with both of these elitists now left scrambling themselves back up to their feet while still positioned on the apron! This is not the best spot for EITHER of them to be ‘cause it can all go wrong just as quickly as it takes!
Jake Mercer: AS REX SENDS A KNIFE EDGE CHOP across the chest of Drake King without a second thought!!!! Drake is keeping himself clutching onto the ropes as he doesn’t want to fall off from where he’s stood here! Anything but that when we’re still so early into this match without the others coming out just yet!
Stew-O: Which wouldn’t bode well for Drake if he were to be taken out by Rex this soon—AS DRAKE SENDS A BACK ELBOW SPIRALLING ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF REX MCALLISTER! Rex is teetering along the edge of the apron but he’s holding on with a palm wrapped along the rope! He’s not looking to dropped off from the apron while he’s still conscious enough to keep steady! CAUSING DRAKE TO FOLLOW WITH A SUPERKICK ACROSS HIS TEMPLE—
Flannery McCoy: CAUGHT THE LEG—AND SENT AN ENZIGURI ACROSS DRAKE’S TEMPLE WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES!!! Rex is able to keep the pressure steady despite being dealt the elbow, only rattled momentarily as he’s able to keep himself able to fight back & leave Drake floundering! And now Drake is in trouble, as Rex is dragging Drake King right over & looking to ensure the worst can come to him here, as he’s PULLING DRAKE IN, LOOKING FOR AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY FROM THE APRON ITSELF!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE WITH AN ELBOW OVER HIS SKULL!!! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER! Rex is forced to let go after Drake refuses to let such a devastating maneuver go through from there, as Rex is now clutching onto his own head while Drake has his opening here! HE RUSHES TOWARD REX—LOOKING FOR THE SUNSET FLIP AS HE LANDS ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR—AND HE HAS REX OVER HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S HOISTING REX TOWARD THE BARRICADE!!!
Stew-O: AND WE SEE THE POWERBOMB AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!! REX IS IN TROUBLE IN THIS MATCH AS DRAKE MANAGES TO GET THE MANEUVER OUT! McAllister is in pain but he’s not dormant for long! Drake finds himself returning back to Rex, looking to apply the pressure all the more before we find out who’s entering this match first!
Flannery McCoy: With Drake King steadily dragging Rex upward, not letting himself get carried away for long as he’s now looking to reel McAllister back into the ring—but his eyes are set on another matter entirely it seems! He’s looking to keep McAllister from retorting at any given point, now aiming for the steel steps!
Jake Mercer: AS HE LOOKS TO SEND REX MCALLISTER REELING DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL STEPS—
(## THUMP!)
Stew-O: MCALLISTER REVERES THE MOMENTUM! DRAKE CLUTCHES ONTO HIS MIDSECTION! Not in the best spot here at all as Rex is now finding his footing again, and he’s pulling Drake King right over as he’s now HOISTING HIM UPWARD WITHOUT A SECOND TO WASTE!
Flannery McCoy: OLYMPIC SLAM INTO THE RING POST!!! DRAKE IS SENT INTO THE COLD METAL AS BOTH HIMSELF & REX ARE NOW DOWN ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
Jake Mercer: AND JUST IN TIME! THE TIMER’S HITTING THE FIFTH MINUTE!
(# 5:00)
Flannery McCoy: HERE WE GO!
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience cheers loudly for the arrival of Limmy Monaghan, who’s motioning his gaze toward the two men trying to get themselves back up.)
Jake Mercer: OH MAN! LIMMY MONAGHAN FINDS HIMSELF ENTERING THIS MATCH! Drake King & Rex McAllister are trying to get themselves up, with McAllister up to his feet first as he’s dragging Drake back into the fray as quickly as he possibly can, but Drake is sending a knee against his abdomen! He doesn’t want to be dealt a worsened hand despite the slam into the post!
Stew-O: BUT THAT WON’T BE HIS ONLY CONCERN AS LIMMY RUSHES INTO THE RING, JUST TO RUSH TOWARD THE ROPES WITH HIS SIGHTS SET ON DRAKE AND REX—
Flannery McCoy: TOPE CON HILO ONTO DRAKE KING AND REX MCALLISTER!!!! Limmy rises back up to his feet, not letting another moment go to waste as he’s immediately holding onto Drake & dragging him back into the ring! He’s looking to take advantage of all of the pressure that these two have been dishing out against each other & make good out of it!
Jake Mercer: The freshest competitor in this match right now is looking to get the first damn fall of the Iron Survivor! Drake is getting himself up to a knee, teetering but not able to get himself back up fully—AS LIMMY MOTIONS UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND A MISSILE DROPKICK CAUSES DRAKE KING TO LAND ON THE CANVAS & ROLL BACKWARD!
Stew-O: AND NOW LIMMY HOOKS THE LEG!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT!! Drake is refusing to stay down as Limmy is now nodding to himself, he understands that Drake King won’t be staying down for anything less than the most impactful effort that he can provide! He’s dragging Drake King upward, sending a brief boot across his temple with a grip of his wrist!
Jake Mercer: Until we see Limmy delivering an irish whip that sends Drake King toward ropes, and now looking to make Drake pay with a POP UP RIGHT OVER HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE ‘EXCALIBER’ DEATH VALLEY BOMB—
Stew-O: DRAKE LATCHES ONTO HIS NECK AND SPIKES LIMMY DOWN WITH A SUDDEN TORNADO DDT!!!! Limmy flips over immediately after the impact as Drake King is shaking his own head vigorously, refusing to stay down as he just reversed the momentum of this match onto his side again!
Flannery McCoy: As Limmy is quickly looking to bring himself upward, refusing to let the DDT keep him down for too long as he’s rising to a knee, while Drake makes note of the rise that Monaghan is continuing to keep himself on—WHICH LEADS TO A SUPERKICK ACROSS THE JAW! Limmy is refusing to be dropped back down to the canvas as he’s stumbling in place! But it’s not looking good!
Jake Mercer: AND ANOTHER SUPERKICK FOLLOWS SUIT!!! Limmy is left staggering even more so as Drake King is nodding to himself, refusing to be slowed down by a single fraction of Limmy’s own momentum as he’s now dragging him over & into his own position, looking to hoist Limmy upward and QUICKLY FOLLOW SUIT WITH THE FALCOLN ARROW—
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY SQUIRMS RIGHT BEHIND DRAKE & LANDS ON HIS FEET—AS A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX FOLLOWS SUIT!!!! DRAKE KING IS LEFT CLUTCHING ONTO THE BACK OF HIS NECK! Limmy manages to return the fire in an amplified manner there as he’s not giving Drake King any leeway! Monaghan nods to himself, able to understand that he may be just one maneuver away from sealing the fate on the first fall!
Flannery McCoy: As Limmy is ready to get moving yet again, Drake is rising to a knee while leaning against the ropes, struggling to pull himself upward with immediate intent as he’s now finding it difficult to get out of this position! LIMMY RUSHES THE ROPES, AND RUNS BACK TOWARD DRAKE KING LOOKING FOR THE ‘DIABLE JAMBE’!!!!
Jake Mercer: YAKUZA KICK FROM REX MCALLISTER TURNS LIMMY MONAGHAN INSIDE OUT!!! Limmy is absolutely wide-eyed as Rex slid back into the ring at the perfect time to launch toward Limmy with the kick! Monaghan is really damn disoriented right now as Rex is now dragging Limmy right over, and into position without another thought!
Stew-O: AND A FIREMAN’S CARRY DRIVER FOLLOWS UP TO SPIKE LIMMY BACK DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!!! Rex looks to maintain the pin attempt here while the referee slides himself over to the cover to count away!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY KICKS OUT! Rex is sitting himself upward, not allowing the tides to shift back away from his favor for long as he’s now motioning away from Limmy! He’s looking to have him scouted! He doesn’t want this match to be altered beyond the direction necessary!
Jake Mercer: As Limmy finds himself stirring upward again! He’s not about to keep himself down on the canvas for long but McAllister is already keeping Limmy in his line of sights without allowing him the room to breathe! Rex McAllister IS NOW LOOKING AHEAD FOR THE ‘REX EFFECT’ TO PUT LIMMY DOWN—
Stew-O: BUT HE STOPS IN HIS TRACKS—TO EVADE A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE FROM DRAKE KING THAT CATCHES LIMMY MONAGHAN INSTEAD!!! Limmy is rocked as he’s knocked out of the ring & rolls off onto the ringside floor! Drake is quickly getting himself back up, refusing to stay down for long—AS REX IS LOOKING FOR A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX TO DRAKE KING!!!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE FLIPS OVER & LANDS ON HIS FEET!!! REX TRIES TO FIND HIS FOOTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET—BUT DRAKE QUICKLY TAKES HOLD OF HIS ARMS & HOOKS THEM!!!!
Jake Mercer: AS HE TAKES REX MCALLISTER DOWN WITH THE ‘ASCENSION’ PEDIGREE!!!! Rex is down & out right now!!! Drake is pushing Rex over and onto his back with his shoulders down as he’s now looking to hook the leg from here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Referee: THREEEE—
Stew-O: NO! REX STAYS IN IT! NO FALL IN THIS MATCH YET—AS WE’VE HIT THE TENTH MINUTE MARK!
(## 10:00)
Flannery McCoy: AND EVERYONE IS IN TROUBLE NOW!!!
(“FINISH HIM” can be heard throughout the arena to thunderous reaction, as ‘Vent’ by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar can be heard emanating throughout the speakers as Methuselah steps through the smoke. He tosses his shades away, grinning devilishly as he takes his time treading down the ramp, all the while Drake King is darting his eyes toward him.)
Jake Mercer: OH MAN! METHUSELAH IS HERE!!!! AND DRAKE KNOWS WHERE TO DRAW HIS ATTENTION TO! IT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!!! Drake King has got all of his attention on the Chairman of this company, who’s making his way down the ramp, keeping a steady gaze there as—WHAT THE?!?!? DRAKE WATCH OUT—
Stew-O: ‘REX EFFECT’!!!! REX MCALLISTER JUST TOOK DRAKE DOWN WITH THE ‘REX EFFECT’ WHILE HE EMPHASIZED FOCUS ON METHUSELAH!!! Rex is now rushing himself over to the cover as Drake rolled himself away, but McAllister is heading himself over to—OH NO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY QUICKLY TAKES HOLD OF REX—AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH ‘SHADOW MOSES’!!!! BLADERUNNER CAUSES REX TO BE DRIVEN ONTO THE MAT AND ROLL UPON IMPACT—CAUSING LIMMY TO MISS OUT ON THE COVER!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE IS LAID OUT!!! LIMMY IS NOW EMPHASIZING FOCUS TOWARD DRAKE KING AS THE ‘REX EFFECT’ TOOK HIM OUT FOR THE TIME BEING, NOW STANDING HIMSELF UPWARD TO QUICKLY TAKE THE PIN!
Stew-O: BUT A WEIGHT CAN BE FELT SHIFTING INTO THE RING AS LIMMY TURNS—
Flannery McCoy: # SPEAR!!!!!
Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH TAKES LIMMY MONAGHAN DOWN WITH THE SPEAR!!!! HE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG AS THE REFEREE COUNTS AWAY!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: THAT’S THE FIRST FALL!
Stephie Love: METHUSELAH HAS SCORED A FALL!
(DRAKE KING: 0
REX MCALLISTER: 0
LIMMY MONAGHAN: 0
METHUSELAH: 1
REX MCALLISTER: 0)
Flannery McCoy: JUST LIKE THAT! METHUSELAH SCORES THE FIRST FALL IN THIS MATCH BEFORE CY CAN EVEN GET IN THIS! Now Limmy is rolling out of the ring and motioning toward the penalty box for ninety seconds!!!
Jake Mercer: You know Methuselah feels incredible getting that fall without even having to break a sweat! The desperation seeping through each of them was enough to take advantage of in itself, as now he can—
Stew-O: # ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ FROM DRAKE KING WHILE METHUSELAH IS GETTING UP!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE HOLDS DRAKE’S FOOT BEFORE HE CAN STOMP DOWN!!! Drake is wide eyed as Methuselah is developing a sizable grin on his own face, steadily rising as Drake is hopping one leg while Methuselah is refusing to let go!
Jake Mercer: Before forcefully SPINNING Drake King around with the hold of his leg to make Drake turn right back around to facing him—AND BEING DRILLED BY A ‘UCONN’ WESTERN LARIAT THAT TURNS DRAKE KING INSIDE OUT!!! Methuselah then slithers away & into the corner, primed & ready as he’s refusing to let this opportunity go to waste! AS DRAKE RISES, METHUSELAH RUSHES FORWARD!
Stew-O: SPEAR—REX WITH A SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK THAT KNOCKS DRAKE KING INTO THE CHAIRMAN BEFORE HE COULD BUILD MOMENTUM FOR THE SPEAR!!!! Methuselah is knocked into the corner as Drake King finds himself rolling away, with Rex standing himself back up and looking to get himself back into this match in a big way! REX RUSHES FORWARD WITH THE LEAPING FOREARM IN THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: SPINNING BACKFIST!!!! REX IS STUNNED BY THE BACKFIST!!! Methuselah keeps a hold of Rex McAllister, not allowing him to escape what’s bound to follow suit as he decides to follow up with the ‘METH-FX’ BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! AND HE DOESN’T LET GO! He’s keeping a hold of Rex as he’s motioning back up to his feet while keeping McAllister latched accordingly!
Jake Mercer: WITH ANOTHER ‘METH FX’ TO FOLLOW SUIT AS WELL! Now Methuslah is dragging Rex McAllister upward with nothing but a sadistic smile on his face! McAllister can’t help himself at this moment as it seems Methuselah is looking to close out with garnering his second fall! ***HE’S LOOKING FOR THE ‘MK DRIVER’!!!***
Stew-O: REX BREAKS HIS ARMS FREE AND HOISTS METHUSELAH OVER HIS SHOULDERS! METHUSELAH IS WIDE EYED AS—REX SLAMS HIM DOWN OVER THE TURNBUCKLE WITH AN ALABAMA SLAM!!! The back of the Chairman’s head takes heavy fire due to the impact as he’s now teetering away, still having enough energy here to SWING—
Flannery McCoy: BUT REX DUCKS UNDER & TAKES HOLD OF METHUSELAH’S WAIST—AS HE NAILS THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! AND HE HOLDS ON! He’s looking to return the favor against Methuselah as he’s dragging him back up to his feet, refusing to relent back from what needs to be done AS ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX FOLLOWS SUIT! Methuselah is still in all of the trouble!!! A THIRD SEALS IT OFF—
Jake Mercer: # AS LIMMY LEAPS ONTO REX WITH ‘HIGH FLY FLOW’!!!!
Stew-O: WOAH!!! WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!? LIMMY TOOK ADVANTAGE AS HE QUICKLY BACKS AWAY—BUT DRAKE KING QUICKLY LANDS A SPINNING FOREARM TO SEND LIMMY AWAY & STAGGERING HIM! AS DRAKE HAS HIS EYES SET ON REX, WHO’S TRYING TO CRAWL!!!
Flannery McCoy: ***’JUDGMENT DAY’!!!!*** CURB STOMP SPIKES THE SKULL OF REX MCALLISTER INTO THE CANVAS!!! DRAKE IS WIDE-EYED, MOTIONING HIS WAY TOWARD REX MCALLISTER—

(## 15:00)
Stew-O: IT’S TIME FOR THE LAST ELITIST TO ENTER THIS MATCH!!!
(‘P.O.V.’ can be heard blaring throughout the speakers, as Methuselah’s eyes widen upon hearing the theme music while maintaining the rear naked choke, His gaze is aimed toward the entrance ramp, keeping Limmy constricted as he is looking for any sign of Cy Henderson.)
Flannery McCoy: Uh??? I’m sorry, but where is he???? Where’s Cy Henderson???
Jake Mercer: I mean, hey, maybe he got cold feet about this whole match, haha? BUT METHUSELAH’S CONFUSION ALLOWS LIMMY TO SHIFT THROUGH THE ROPES & ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!!
Stew-O: BUT METHUSELAH IS STILL HOLDING ON! HE CLUTCHES ONTO HIS HEAD AS THE CHOKE REMAINS APPLIED! LIMMY IS FIGHTING FOR IT ALL RIGHT NOW AS THEY’RE SITUATED AT RINGSIDE RIGHT NOW!
(The audience steadily comes unglued with heightened reactions as they take notice to a figure motioning through the crowd.)

Jake Mercer: BUT REX SQUIRMS FREE FROM HIS GRASP AND SINKS HIS WEIGHT OVER CY—TO APPLY THE DRAGON SLEEPER!!!!

Flannery McCoy: And Cy being the fresher competitor amongst them all is trying to keep himself in the running!

Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE WITH THE BACK ELBOW! Cy is forced to let go as Drake is able to get back to proper footing, turning himself right around with repeated forearms to keep Cy Henderson at bay! He’s refusing to let this go to was—HOLY CRAP THERE’S LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!

Jake Mercer: AS DRAKE DELIVERS A SUPERKICK THAT CAUSES CY TO LAY AGAINST THE DESK AS WELL!!! NOW DRAKE KING IS THE ONLY MAN LEFT STANDING RIGHT NOW!
(Drake is still left with no points on the board, and he’s maintaining his composure as much as he can while the clock is steadily ticking down. Just under seven minutes remain, he takes notice of the two bodies on the announce desk, fully understanding there’s no time to waste.)
Stew-O: Oh my—HE’S HEADED FOR THE TOP! Drake King motions toward the apron and now begins climbing up to the very top of the turnbuckle!!! Cy & Limmy haven’t moved at all from where they find themselves positioned right now!
Flannery McCoy: Wait… HE’S—HE’S TAKING IT A NOTCH HIGHER! HE’S STOOD OVER THE RING POST!!!! HE’S LOOKING FOR ALL OF THE IMPACT—

(Drake King is motioned toward the penalty box just as Limmy is motioning himself out as his penalty is over. Once Drake is sitting inside, Cy gives him the glance, with a slight smirk as Drake realizes the reality he’s been faced with.)
Stew-O: AND AS CY TURNS—METHUSELAH LOOKS FOR THE SPINNING BACK FIST! BUT HENDERSON CATCHES METHUSELAH IN PLACE & SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A URANAGE!
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah finds himself in the deepened waters now! Henderson is looking to continue remaining on the prowl AS HE’S LOOKING TO GET AHEAD WITH THE ‘VOID’ LOCK! HE’S SEEKING OUT THE STF!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT METHUSELAH SEES THE WRITING ON THE WALL! HE RAKES CY HENDERSON’S EYES BEFORE HE COULD FULLY APPLY THE LOCK! Cy is working with blurry vision right now! He’s in for the struggle but he’s still rising! He knows he has to put the foot on the gas—RUSHING TOWARD HIM DESPITE THE BLUR!!!

Jake Mercer: AND THAT’LL DO IT!!! DRAKE KING HAS WON IRON SURVIVOR!!!!
Stew-O: Wait, no… no… Look!!!
(The referee himself is left in confusion, as he shakes his head, and he’s pointing toward…)
Flannery McCoy: WAIT…
(Cy Henderson.)
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE?!??? REPLAY THE FOOTAGE! RUN IT BACK!
(As the footage replays, Cy adjusted himself to face Drake for the ‘Guillotine’, which allowed him to be draped right over Methuselah just as Drake dropped over Limmy as well.)
Flannery McCoy: What the heck???? You’re kidding me, right??? That was all in ring prowess??? Like he *knew* that would allow him to freely garner the pin potentially before Drake???
Jake Mercer: But Drake got his own pin as well!!!! We have to get to the bottom of this! Who won the Iron Survivor??!?!?
(As the referees are inspecting the official of the match, trying to determine the outcome, Tyrone Montegomery decided to step in himself. After careful instruction and discussion with the officials, he makes his decision clear with a microphone in hand.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, we’re not here to deny what’s the right call. YOUR WINNER, OF THE IRON SURVIVOR CHALLENGE….
Tyrone Montgomery: DRAKE KING, **AND** CY HENDERSON!!!!!
(The audience responds with immensely loud reactions, mixed emotions as a whole. Drake clenches his fists, slowly rising to his feet as he’s shaking his own head.)
Drake King: (off-mic) No…. No… NO….. NO!
(Drake shakes his head vigorously as he’s glaring toward Cy, pointing the finger.)
Drake King: (off-mic) You were DONE! Dead to rites! You don’t deserve this anymore than the rest of these idiots!
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) You fell for it & got yourself in this predicament, I got the pinfall well before you did, you didn’t even satisfy the timeframe… And they *still* gave it to you…
Drake King: (off-mic) Enough, enough! THIS IS—ENOUGH!
Stew-O: AND NO TIME FOR CELEBRATION! DRAKE AND CY ARE GOING AT IT AGAIN!!! THEY’RE EXCHANGING THE LEFTS AND RIGHTS TOWARD EACH OTHER!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL?!?? METHUSELAH, REX **AND** LIMMY ARE ALL IRATE! THEY’RE ALL BRAWLING IT OUT AT RINGSIDE AS IF THEY ALL DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH A THIRTY MINUTE WAR TOGETHER!!!
Jake Mercer: AND TYRONE IS IMMEDIATELY CALLING FOR THE SECURITY!!!! HE KNOWS THIS NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT! THE BRAWLING GOES ON EVEN AFTER THE IRON SURVIVOR CONCLUDES!
(The security swarms the venue accordingly, rushing into the ringside area and the ring in order to contain the brawl that’s going on, all of the elitists present are only set on continuing to let their grievances be known as the scene soon fades through the chaos, with two winners of the Iron Survivor being Drake King & Cy Henderson.)

(Operation: Doomsday returns as the last match graphic of the night is seen flashing across the screen, causing the crowd to go berserk.)

(The camera then goes over to focus on Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring, a smile on her face and a microphone in hand, as she begins to speak.)
Stephie Love: This is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd gets to a deafening pitch. The camera then goes over to the stage to show none other than Kassidy Heart herself as she’s seen making her way out from the backstage area. She’s completely focused on the ring with a dead serious expression on her face, taking a moment to herself, before then beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… from Sydney, Australia… weighing in at 141 pounds… She is THE MAULER!!!!!!!!! KASSIDYYYYYYY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Fourteen months, a phrase that has surely been repeating in the head of Kassidy Heart from the moment she returned. For fourteen months, she gave everyone else a headstart, for fourteen months, she let her rage consume her being out of the ring for that long, and now, March 7th, 2026, she steps in to claim a part of history that she believes is owed.
Flannery McCoy: The distinction of being the very first female World Heavyweight Champion in this company’s history. We know the story, we know that Kassidy Heart is very familiar with making history, and if there is truly someone who has done it all in this place, it’s her. But even with all of that in mind, she wants more, she’s far from satisfied, and tonight she looks to take. Even if it means prying it from the cold, dead hands of the Champion.
Jake Mercer: And if there is one thing that we also know, Kassidy Heart is not a woman to be fucked with! Michael Machina may have very well made the mistake of his career messing with her, but then again, we tend to forget the enormity of the generational clash of titans that we are about to witness!
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep immediately hits, causing the crowd to get loud as the camera goes over from the ring to the stage. Smoke billows out as coming out of it, Michael Machina is seen. He has the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, looking pissed off and angry, as he takes a deep breath before beginning to make his march down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Brooklyn, New York… weighing in at 250 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! THE NEW LEGEND!!!!!!!!!! MICHAELLLLLLLLL MAAAAAAAACHINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Since Territorial Invasion, nobody has been able to stop Michael Machina on his tear of the division. He has been unstoppable as the World Heavyweight Champion, which perhaps is one of the key reasons why he doesn’t believe Kassidy Heart will be the one to put the nail in the coffin for his title reign.
Flannery McCoy: And that is something that remains to be seen. Machina believes that he has absolutely no competition, and truthfully, he’s earned the right to think that. But I think we can all agree that he’s not just going to need to be at his best to beat Kassidy Heart here tonight, he’s going to have to be better than his best. And I am sure that is something that our World Champion is fully capable of.
Jake Mercer: But look at the look on that man’s face. He’s heard the talk, they’ve had their back and forths, they’ve had their brawls, I think he’s itching to get in there right now!
(Machina stops at the bottom of the ramp, as he stares a hole into Kassidy Heart standing inside the ring. And as he does…)
Stew-O: MACHINA DROPS HIS TITLE AND RUSHES INTO THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: AND HERE WE GO! WE’RE NOT WASTING ANYTIME IN OUR MAIN EVENT! BOTH MACHINA AND KASSIDY BEGIN TRADING BOMBS WITH ONE ANOTHER! BACK AND FORTH! THE CROWD IN DODGERS STADIUM IS ON THEIR FEET! THIS IS ELECTRIC!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO SIGNAL FOR THE BELL AS THESE TWO GO AT IT! KASSIDY IS PUSHED AGAINST THE ROPES BY MACHINA, AS HE SENDS THE CHALLENGER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO SHIFT GEARS AS SHE JUMPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF MACHINA!
Stew-O: Machina is sent backward as he falls against one of the corners, and Kassidy quickly lunges at him, wasting no time beginning to connect with rapidfire stomps directly to the chest! The hate that has begun to boil over between the two of them is immense! We know that they haven’t been short on words when it comes to how they feel about one another!
Flannery McCoy: And it’s certainly reflective here! Machina is scrunched against the corner as Kassidy continues to stomp away! Trying to cave the Champion’s chest in! The referee quickly intervenes and tries to pull Kassidy away-
Jake Mercer: BUT KASSIDY SHOVES THE REFEREE BACK! She’s making it known that the last thing that she needs right now is to be stopped when Michael Machina is getting everything that he deserves!
Stew-O: Kassidy grabs a hold of Machina and brings him up, grabbing a hold of him by the wrist and sending him toward the opposite corner with an Irish whip- But Machina manages to turn it around as he reverses it into an Irish whip of her own!
Flannery McCoy: BUT KASSIDY EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: Machina is dropped down to the mat, and Kassidy immediately grabs a hold of him by the head and brings him up, SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST! And now The Mauler is not hesitating to start unloading the clip, as she continues to slam those unforgiving punches against his face! Machina has had no answer so far! But that can easily change!
Stew-O: Kassidy grabs Machina by the wrist and sends him toward the ropes with an Irish whip, AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE- But Machina manages to duck under! He runs to the opposite side of the ring, BEFORE LAUNCHING FORWARD AND TAKING DOWN KASSIDY WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS! AND NOW IT’S THE CHAMPION’S TURN TO START TO CONNECT WITH RELENTLESS STRIKES TO THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Machina relents as he makes his way back up to his feet, Kassidy crawling away and grabbing a hold of the ropes. AND MACHINA IS QUICK TO TAKE ACTION, AS HE RUSHES TOWARD HER AND SENDS KASSIDY OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: Kassidy is dumped to the outside, and Machina is quick to leave the ring himself to continue the fight! He grabs Kassidy by the head and begins to connect with repeated strikes, before snatching her by the wrist and trying to send her toward the barricade- but Kassidy manages to turn it around!
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: AS SHE SENDS MACHINA SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! THE COLLISION SENDS THE TOP HALF FLYING OFF AS THE CHAMPION IS DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy grabs Machina by the head and drags him away from the barricade, and the referee is yelling at them to get back into the ring before he starts the count!
Referee: (Off-Mic) Hey! Get back inside! ONE-
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) SHUT UP.
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY SLAMS MACHINA’S FACE DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF THE STEPS! Machina is completely stunned right now and, more importantly, at the mercy of the challenger. And whatever Kassidy Heart has in mind for him is certainly not going to bode well!
Stew-O: Kassidy grabs a hold of him and climbs on top of the bottom half of the steel steps! She lifts him! No way…
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY HEART GOING FOR A PILEDRIVER ONTO THE TOP OF THE STEPS!
(*CRASH!*)
Jake Mercer: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO REVERSE WITH A BACK BODY DROP! KASSIDY IS SENT CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE COLD, UNFORGIVING STEEL WITH A HUGE COUNTER!
Stew-O: The Champion surges back up, and now he’s feeding off the energy of the crowd at the moment. He quickly grabs Kassidy and drags her away from the steps as she writhes in agonizing pain, and now he looks to follow that up with something big as he slowly begins to back up! What could he possibly have in mind?!
Flannery McCoy: I think we know exactly what he’s going for! He’s building up a head of steam, rounding the corner, and beginning to take a lap around the ringside area! If Kassidy doesn’t recover quickly, then her dream of becoming the first female World Heavyweight Champion is going to be dashed away from her! WATCH OUT!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA WITH A MASSIVE BULLET FROM HELL TO KASSIDY HEART!
(**THUD!**)
Stew-O: HOLY-
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS MACHINA GUT FIRST INTO THE CORNER OF OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!
(Machina collides full speed with the jagged corner of the table as he crumbles down to the ground, clutching his abdomen as he cries in pain. Kassidy drops down to a knee, briefly winded but managing to get her wits about her, before she rises back up and focuses on the Champion.)
Jake Mercer: Machina is coughing up blood in front of us in a violent manner, and Kassidy Heart doesn’t seem to be very sympathetic about it! She steps directly over him and begins to make her way over to the timekeeper’s area!
Stew-O: AND SHE HAS A STEEL CHAIR IN HAND! AND THE REFEREE IS IMMEDIATELY SLIDING OUT OF THE RING AND LOOKING TO INTERVENE! SHE COULD BE DISQUALIFIED!
(Kassidy has the chair in hand, but immediately the referee tries to take it away from her, as there’s an ensuing tug of war, she immediately forcefully snatches his collar.)
Referee: (Off-Mic) LET GO OF THE CHAIR!
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) I can do whatever the FUCK I want. Disqualify me and watch what happens.
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy shoves the official away! And Machina has risen back up to his feet-
(***CRACK!***)
Jake Mercer: AND KASSIDY JUST REELED BACK AND CONNECTED WITH A BRUTAL CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD OF MICHAEL MACHINA!
Stew-O: And the referee doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it! Kassidy just scared him into submission!
Flannery McCoy: Blood is gushing out of the mouth of the World Heavyweight Champion right now as Kassidy approaches him with the chair in hand.
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) “kAsSidy HeArT cAn’t BeaT Me.”
(***CRACK!***)
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY TAKES ANOTHER SWING DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD OF MACHINA! HIS BRAIN HAS GOT TO BE MUSH RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: He’s still trying to get up, though! And I can’t imagine it’s a great situation for him to be at the mercy of Kassidy Heart at the moment!
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) Fourteen fucking months of letting shit like this fly. Enough of that.
(***CRACK!***)
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER SHOT TO THE HEAD OF MACHINA! SOMEONE IS GONNA HAVE TO STEP IN! THIS IS INSANE!
(Machina immediately falls flat to the ground limp, but after a moment, he presses his hands to the ringside matting, slowly beginning to will himself up. As he does, Kassidy gives a twisted grin, continuing to grip the chair in her hand. But as Machina looks up…)
Jake Mercer: OH!
Stew-O: MACHINA JUST SPIT BLOOD DIRECTLY INTO THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART!
(Kassidy pauses as she scrunches her face, wiping the spit off of her as she looks down at him. Her composure is beginning to crack, as Machina continues to rise.)
Michael Machina: -# (Off-Mic) … *Try me.*
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY HAS SEEN ENOUGH! SHE TAKES THE CHAIR AND SWINGS DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD OF MACHINA AGAIN-
Jake Mercer: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! HE GRABS A HOLD OF KASSIDY AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE RUNNING HER FORWARD, DRIVING HER DIRECTLY INTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON SPINEFIRST! AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HAS GOTTEN A SECOND WIND AS HE IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO CLOBBER HER REPEATEDLY WITH STRIKES DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: Kassidy is trying her best to fend off the attack, but Michael Machina is bringing the hurt to her, and I don’t know where he got this from! He grabs a hold of Kassidy, BEFORE RUNNING HER FORWARD AND SLAMMING HER FACE FIRST AGAINST THE RINGPOST!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy’s head bounces off the steel as she crumbles down to the ground, and she quickly tries to grab a hold of the barricade to keep herself up, but Machina has his eyes set! HE RUSHES FORWARD, AS HE CLOTHESLINES KASSIDY OVER THE CORNER BARRICADE AND INTO THE FRONT ROW-
Jake Mercer: BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT, AS SHE LIFTS MACHINA AND SENDS HIM INTO THE CROWD INSTEAD! The Champion falls hard to the ground as he struggles to make his way back up to his feet. Kassidy takes a moment to create distance between the two of them, clearly getting rocked courtesy of the assault from Michael Machina. And both of them are using this brief moment to gain some reprieve.
Stew-O: But Kassidy knows that she can’t waste anymore time! She turns around and begins to storm toward Machina, looking to make sure that she regains the momentum again-
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT MACHINA JUST TOOK A CHAIR FROM THE FRONT ROW AND THREW IT FULL FORCE DIRECTLY INTO THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART!
Jake Mercer: Kassidy crumbles to the ground, and Machina simply refuses to let the challenger get offense on him anymore, because we know just how much of a dangerous position that he’s in right now. Kassidy is slowly trying to make her way up to her feet, clutching her head in pain, but I don’t think she’s going to realize what’s coming for her until it’s too late!
Stew-O: AS MACHINA RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS OVER THE BARRICADE WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART-
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT KASSIDY RETURNS THE CHAIR DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD OF MACHINA TO SEND HIM FLYING BACK INTO THE CROWD AREA!
Jake Mercer: Machina is back down on the ground, blood just continuing to spill from his head as Kassidy is now back on the hunt. She climbs over the barricade and joins him in the crowd area, and immediately grabs a hold of him by the head, beginning to connect with repeated shots to the face!
Stew-O: Machina is trying his best to retreat backward, but Kassidy is relentless as both of them begin to go deeper and deeper into the crowd area! She grabs a hold of Machina and tries to send him further down the aisle, but before she can do that, Machina grabs a hold of her by the head and drives a knee directly into her abdomen! He then turns her around, setting her up!
Flannery McCoy: AS MACHINA THROWS KASSIDY DIRECTLY AGAINST THE STEPS LEADING UP THE STANDS! KASSIDY LANDS SPINEFIRST AGAINST IT AS SHE CLUTCHES HERSELF IN PAIN, QUICKLY BEGINNING TO CRAWL UP THE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO TRY AND CREATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM!
Jake Mercer: And the crowd is absolutely electric in Dodger Stadium tonight as they continue their brawl in the stands! Machina grabs a hold of Kassidy, BEFORE SLAMMING HER FACE AGAINST THE RAILING! Blood splatters everywhere, and now the Champion is looking to go even further, as he grabs a hold of the head of Kassidy!
Stew-O: AND BEGINS TO PRESS HER HEAD AGAINST THE RAILING! WITH THAT RAW STRENGTH OF HIS, HE’S TRYING TO POP HER HEAD LIKE A WATERMELON! ANYTHING LIKE THIS COULD PUT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR KASSIDY HEART, FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY!
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY FINALLY MANAGES TO GET SOME ROOM WITH A HARD ELBOW DIRECTLY TO THE JAW! Machina loosens the hold, but he still maintains his grip as he shifts his arms down to her waist! Kassidy continues to drive repeated back elbows to the face of Machina, but the Champion refuses to budge! As he tries to set her up!
Jake Mercer: AS HE’S TRYING TO LAUNCH KASSIDY OVER HIS HEAD WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX DOWN THE FLIGHT OF STAIRS!
Stew-O: BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO BREAK HERSELF FREE OF HIS GRIP! SHE SPINS AROUND MACHINA AND GRABS HIM AROUND THE WAIST! NO! NO-
(**THUD!**)
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY HEAVES MACHINA UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX AS MACHINA LANDS HEADFIRST ON THE EDGE OF THE STEPS! AND NOW MACHINA IS SENT TUMBLING DOWN THE STAIRS BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR AREA, AND KASSIDY HEART STANDS ALONE!
Jake Mercer: Michael Machina has completely crumbled into a heap on the floor, and Kassidy is clutching the railing to keep herself up as she heads down the steps and back down to the floor level. She grabs a hold of Machina and begins to drag him away, and it seems like they have made their way around toward the stage area now!
Stew-O: Machina is defenseless as Kassidy grabs a hold of him, BEFORE RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND THROWING HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE SIDE OF THE STAGE! Machina bounces off as his blood splatters across the wall, and Kassidy quickly brings him back out, BEFORE THROWING HIM AGAINST IT AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: If there’s one thing The Mauler had the intentions of doing, it’s making Michael Machina realize just how much of a mistake he made messing with her. And right now, she’s certainly doing a lot to make sure the point gets across.
Jake Mercer: Kassidy once again grabs a hold of the Champion, AS SHE TRIES TO SLAM HIM AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AGAIN- NO! Machina manages to stop himself! He connects with a hard back elbow to the face of Kassidy to send her backward, and Machina tries to recover in time before it’s too late-
Stew-O: BUT KASSIDY RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH RAPTURE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! THE HELLUVA KICK BOOTS MACHINA RIGHT UP AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AS HIS HEAD BOUNCES AND HE CRUMBLES DOWN!
(Kassidy staggers back, a pissed off look on her face as she wipes blood off her face to clear her vision. Machina is barely able to keep himself up at this point, but he knows that if he stops trying even for a moment, then that World Heavyweight Championship is going to disappear from around his waist in a heartbeat. Kassidy has given him the beating of his life, and the truth is that she’s far from done.)
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy is setting the Champion up here, and Machina better do something or else he might not be able to recover after she’s through!
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR A SPEAR!
(THUD!)
Stew-O: BUT GO TO GAWD IS UNSUCCESSFUL! MACHINA MANAGES TO SIDESTEP OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AND SENDS KASSIDY HEADFIRST DIRECTLY INTO THE SIDE OF THE STAGE! This gives Machina the chance to stumble backward as he tries to collect himself, realizing that he just got out of that situation by a hair!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy is clutching onto the wall, trying to keep herself up, but now it’s Machina looking to return the favor! OH MY GOD!
(# *CRASH!*)
Jake Mercer: MACHINA JUST RUSHED FORWARD AND SENT KASSIDY HEART THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE STAGE WITH A BULLET FROM HELL!
(The crowd is going absolutely batshit as the camera rushes over to show the wreckage that has ensued. The side of the stage is completely ripped open as, just barely, the bodies of Michael Machina and Kassidy Heart are seen completely laid out.)
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST UPPED THE ANTE AND GOT HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS MATCH! BUT AT WHAT COST?!
Flannery McCoy: WHO KNOWS! BUT ALL WE KNOW RIGHT NOW IS THAT IT TOOK DOWN KASSIDY HEART! AND EVEN IF IT’S FOR A MILLISECOND, IT’S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IF HE WANTS TO WALK OUT OF OPERATION: DOOMSDAY AS CHAMPION!
(Slowly, a shadow is seen rising out of the carnage.)
Jake Mercer: And it seems like the World Heavyweight Champion is standing strong, even after everything that he has gone through. You just have to wonder how much is left in the tank, especially after everything that they have both thrown at one another.
(Machina is seen grabbing Kassidy by the wrist and dragging her out from under the stage. He’s exhausted and disheveled, but regardless, is motivated as hell to make sure that the job is finished once and for all. And a part of him knows that they’re barely even through just yet.)
Stew-O: Kassidy Heart isn’t even moving and Michael Machina is dragging her carcass out from the stage. And if Machina keeps this up, then he has this match in the palm of his hands,m but there is absolutely no telling what’s going to happen next!
Flannery McCoy: Despite everything that they have thrown at one another, Kassidy Heart is still slowly beginning to show signs of life! She’s beginning to push herself back up to her feet, and immediately that brings Machina on high alert! He makes his way over and grabs a hold of the challenger by the head, setting her up for something here!
Jake Mercer: BUT KASSIDY RUNS HIM FORWARD AND RAMS HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP! And she does not waste any time grabbing a hold of him by the head and beginning to connect with repeated strikes! I don’t know how in the world Kassidy Heart is doing this right now, but she’s beginning to gain steam even when something like that seems completely improbable!
Stew-O: Kassidy now grabs a hold of Machina, trying to lift him back up onto the ramp so that they could potentially continue this fight inside of the ring, but Machina manages to connect with an elbow down onto the top of her head which forces her to release the hold! And now Machina crawls up onto the ramp himself, Kassidy staggering back but quickly following in pursuit-
Flannery McCoy: BUT MACHINA CONNECTS WITH A SWIFT KICK DIRECTLY TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HER BACKWARD! The World Heavyweight Champion seems to have something in mind here as he makes his way over to the top of the stage, Kassidy clutching her head as she’s forced to drop down to a knee underneath him. What in the world is Michael Machina thinking?!
Jake Mercer: No. No way…
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS OFF THE STAGE WITH A FRONT FLIP, TAKING DOWN KASSIDY HEART WITH A DIVE! OH MY GOD!
(The crowd erupts as Michael Machina goes for something absolutely inhuman for someone of his stature. He immediately rolls back up to his feet, yelling at the top of his lungs as he looks up at the lights, blood continuing to pour down his face like battle paint. He nods his head, knowing that he has this match in his hands, and the only thing that he can do right now is make sure that it stays that way.)
Flannery McCoy: Machina grabs a hold of Kassidy by the head and brings her back up, and now is beginning to drag her away from the stage area and back down the ramp, and it seems like he’s looking to bring this fight back into the ring, which is a smart strategy especially if you’re looking to end this match quick. Kassidy is rolled right back into the ring, and she’s at the mercy of the World Heavyweight Champion at the moment!
Jake Mercer: The challenger slowly begins to rise back up to her feet, but I don’t think she realizes Machina stalking behind her, looking to strike! The Champion begins to break into a run toward the ropes, immediately beginning to gain momentum!
Stew-O: AS HE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND GOES FOR AN ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS BULLET FROM HELL!
Flannery McCoy: NO! BEFORE MACHINA CAN PUSH OFF THE GROUND, KASSIDY MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND HIM AND WRAP HER ARMS AROUND HIS NECK, AND NOW SHE HAS A SLEEPER HOLD LOCKED IN! SHE QUICKLY GRAPEVINES HER LEGS AROUND HIS BODY, AND SHE’S LOOKING TO TRY AND SUBDUE THE CHAMPION RIGHT HERE, AND RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: And you can tell that this is not an easy situation for Michael Machina to get out of at the moment! Both of these Elitists have taken far too much damage in this match so far to have their wits about them, it’s hard for them to have full energy right now to be able to get themselves out of this! And you can tell as Kassidy begins to weigh him down like an anchor, as Machina slowly drops down to a knee.
Stew-O: Kassidy knows that this might not do the trick, but it certainly is going to be enough to get a head in a stretch of the match that hasn’t entirely favored her so far. Machina though isn’t going down so easily! He’s slowly beginning to rise back up to his feet, not allowing her to get a proper footing! AS MACHINA RUNS BACKWARD AND RAMS KASSIDY SPINEFIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Flannery McCoy; Kassidy bounces off of the corner but still maintains the grip that he has on the Champion currently! Machina is trying to shake the challenger free, but I think we’re underestimating just how much willpower she has right now to keep this hold locked in! Machina though isn’t taking no for an answer, AS HE RUNS BACKWARD AND RAMS KASSIDY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES A SECOND TIME!
Jake Mercer: Kassidy whips off, and you can see that her grip is loosening, but that isn’t the end for her at all! She continues to have the Sleeper Hold locked in, and Michael Machina has no answers at the moment as he tries everything that he can to wave his arms around and get himself free! BUT IN ONE BIG SPURT OF ENERGY, HE TRIES TO DRIVE KASSIDY INTO THE CORNER A THIRD TIME-
Stew-O: NO! MACHINA STOPS IN HIS TRACKS! AND- OH MY GOODNESS!
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY JUST SUNK HER TEETH INTO THE NECK OF MICHAEL MACHINA!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA IS CRYING IN PAIN AS HE’S NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW THROUGH, IMMEDIATELY DROPPING DOWN TO A KNEE AS KASSIDY IS BITING INTO HIS NECK WHILE LOCKING IN THE SLEEPER HOLD! THAT’S CERTAINLY ONE WAY TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF THAT SITUATION, AND WE KNOW THIS LEVEL OF SAVAGERY IS SOMETHING THAT KASSIDY HEART IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH, ESPECIALLY AT THIS STRETCH OF THE MATCH!
Stew-O: But as she relents, it was enough for Machina to crumble down to the ground! Kassidy is still choking the life out of him right now, and the World Heavyweight Champion has not had an answer! If he doesn’t find a way out of this quickly, then he passes out, and Kassidy Heart makes history tonight here at Operation: Doomsday!
Flannery McCoy: Machina’s eyes are beginning to flutter! He’s starting to lose consciousness! The referee is quickly sliding down, checking on the Champion and seeing if he’s going to be able to continue this fight! But in the state that he’s in right now, I don’t know how probable that is! Machina’s movements are beginning to slow!
Jake Mercer: And I don’t know! I think it looks like he’s completely unconscious! The referee makes his way over and begins to check, raising his hand in the air!
Referee: ONE!
Stew-O: AND IT DROPS DOWN! The referee takes his hand and raises it a second time!
Referee: TWO!
Flannery McCoy: And it drops down again! Kassidy Heart is mere seconds away from winning this match, the referee takes his hand and raises it up a third time!
Referee: THREE!
(…)
Jake Mercer: WAIT JUST ONE MOMENT!
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA IS ALIVE! HE CLENCHES HIS HAND INTO A FIST AS HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO GAIN LIFE! KASSIDY DID NOT EXPECT THAT AS MACHINA IS RISING BACK UP TO HIS FEET! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, WITH HOWEVER MUCH ENERGY HE HAS LEFT IN HIS SYSTEM!
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY IS TRYING TO CONTINUE TO SUBDUE HIM, BUT MACHINA IS ALREADY UP TO A KNEE, AS HE USES HIS SHEER WILLPOWER TO PUSH HIS SOLES OFF THE GROUND AND BRING HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET! AND NOW MICHAEL MACHINA IS POSITIONING HIMSELF!
Jake Mercer: AS HE LIFTS KASSIDY HEART INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A GORILLA PRESS SLAM! HEAT’S DESCENT CONNECTS! AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS BACK IN THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: I don’t know how, but Michael Machina has gained a second wind, and Kassidy needs to think of something quick if she wants to make sure that she gets this match back in her favor! But Machina already has a hold of her as he brings her back up to her feet, pulling her in and setting her up!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE LIFTS HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR A POWERBOMB! HE’S GOING FOR .50 CAL!
Jake Mercer: BUT KASSIDY IS BEGINNING TO FIGHT BACK! SHE’S RAINING DOWN PUNCHES ONTO THE TOP OF MACHINA’S HEAD, REFUSING TO LET HIM FOLLOW THROUGH ON HIS ATTACK! MACHINA IS TRYING HIS BEST TO KEEP HIS BALANCE, BUT KASSIDY CONTINUES TO STRIKE AS BOTH OF THEM TEETER!
Stew-O: AS MACHINA TILTS, SENDING BOTH OF THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET, MAINTAINING HIS GRIP AS HE KEEPS KASSIDY ON HIS SHOULDERS! WATCH OUT-
(# CRASH!)
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL MACHINA WITH A POWERBOMB TO SEND KASSIDY HEART DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!
Jake Mercer: And now Machina grabs a hold of Kassidy and brings her back up to her feet, before rolling her lifeless body back into the ring! And now he begins to make his way inside as well, gaining momentum as the challenger tries to rise back up to her feet! And I think he’s giving it another shot here!
Stew-O: BULLET FROM HELL-
Flannery McCoy: PAINFULLY EVER AFTER!!!
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE CURB STOMP DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF MACHINA’S HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SHE ROLLS HIM OVER, HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: NO! MACHINA MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP! Even after everything that both of these Elitists have put each other through, they are still fighting, and as we mentioned plenty of times throughout this match already, who knows how much they’re going to have left.
(Kassidy sits up, slowly closing her eyes as she tries to think through what she can go for next here. She doesn’t think about it for too long, almost immediately she’s on the prowl, as she rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy is making her way over and taking that bloody, bent out of shape steel chair from earlier, the one that she used to beat Machina to an inch of his life! Machina is slowly trying to make his way up to his feet, but you can tell from the expression on his face that he is absolutely dazed right now! AND I DON’T THINK HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE FOR THE MAULER!
(***CRACK!***)
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY HEART WITH A CHAIR SHOT DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD OF MICHAEL MACHINA SENDS HIM CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! The World Heavyweight Champion is lying in a pool of his own blood, and what the hell is Kassidy Heart going for here?!
(Kassidy takes the chair and props it up against the bottom turnbuckle, before turning around and grabbing Machina by the wrist, beginning to drag him toward the corner.)
Stew-O: Machina has no idea what’s going to happen here, but I think we have a pretty decent clue! Kassidy traps both of the arms, grabbing a hold of him by the wrists and pressing her foot against his spine! NO! NO!
Flannery McCoy: CURB STOMP ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!
Jake Mercer: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO COUNTER AS HE TURNS IT INTO A DROP TOE HOLD TO SEND KASSIDY DIRECTLY INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING FACEFIRST! KASSIDY IS HURT AND THIS GIVES MACHINA THE CHANCE TO MAKE HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! AS HE TURNS IT AROUND-
(# SPLAT!)
Stew-O: BEFORE STOMPING KASSIDY’S HEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL STEPS! KASSIDY HEART IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT AND IMMEDIATELY THE REFEREE HAS RUSHED OVER TO CHECK ON HER!
(The referee is trying to see if Kassidy is able to continue this match, meanwhile, the crowd looks absolutely shocked at what they just witnessed right here. Machina takes a couple of steps back, and he doesn’t look concerned whatsoever, in fact, he looks annoyed.)
Flannery McCoy: MACHINA JUST SHOVED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY! AND HE’S GRABBING A HOLD OF THE LIFELESS BODY OF KASSIDY HEART AND PULLING HER IN! LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND PLANTING KASSIDY IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A MASSIVE .50 CAL! THE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND MACHINA DOESN’T WASTE ANYTIME! HE PINS HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT AS THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO SLIDE DOWN AND START THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?!
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY HEART KICKS OUT!
(It’s hard to tell if Kassidy even kicked out of that, it looked more like an involuntary spasm. But regardless, her shoulder raised off the mat, and this match continues, much to the chagrin of the Referee, and much to the anger of Michael Machina.)
Jake Mercer: Machina looks absolutely furious right now, but he knows that he has to keep his anger in check right now if he wants to keep this match in his favor. The referee doesn’t even know if it was the right decision to continue this match, but it seemed like something that Machina does not have a care in the world about!
Stew-O: He grabs a hold of her and brings her up to her feet, before lifting her up onto her shoulders into Powerbomb position again! Kassidy is completely limp, she’s not even putting up a fight, and now Machina is beginning to make his way up the turnbuckle padding. And if he hits this, well then there’s no exaggeration, I think this is over!
Flannery McCoy: MACHINA! GOING FOR THE MIDAS BOMB!
(…)
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY HEART JUST REVERSED IT AND GRABBED A HOLD OF THE ARM OF MACHINA IN MIDAIR! GAWD’S GIFT! GAWD’S GIFT!
Stew-O: HOWEVER THE HELL KASSIDY HEART JUST REVIVED HERSELF IN THIS SITUATION IS NONE OF OUR CONCERN, RIGHT NOW, SHE HAS THAT CROSS ARMBREAKER LOCKED IN! AND SHE’S TRYING TO TEAR HIS SHOULDER RIGHT OUT OF HIS SOCKET!
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY IS BITING ON THE FINGERS OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, TRYING TO FORCE HIM TO SUBMIT! BUT MICHAEL MACHINA REFUSES! HE KNOWS THAT IF HE DOES, THEN HIS AMBITIONS ARE DASHED AWAY, AND HE DOES NOT WANT HIS TITLE REIGN TO END RIGHT HERE! HE’S TRYING HIS BEST TO ESCAPE OUT OF IT, BUT KASSIDY HAS A FIRM GRIP!
Jake Mercer: MICHAEL MACHINA HAS NEVER TAPPED OUT IN HIS CAREER! THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE FIRST TIME IF KASSIDY KEEPS THIS HOLD LOCKED IN!

Stew-O: BUT MICHAEL MACHINA MANAGES TO LIFT HIMSELF OFF OF THE GROUND! HE BRINGS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET AS HE MAINTAINS HIS GRIP ON KASSIDY, MANAGING TO HEAVE HER UP BEFORE SLAMMING HER AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES TO FORCE HER TO RELEASE THE CROSS ARMBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Machina crumbles down to the ground, as Kassidy immediately rolls herself under the bottom rope and out of the ring, knowing that she was in trouble there. But regardless, both of them have managed to get themselves back into the fight, and it seems like we’ve reached the final stretch of this hellacious battle!
Jake Mercer: Machina begins to roll himself out of the ring, as he makes his way over to Kassidy, grabbing a hold of her and beginning to bring her up-
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: BUT KASSIDY JUST STRUCK HIM WITH AN OBJECT THAT SHE PULLED OUT OF THE RING! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!
(Kassidy lets the camera get a good look of what is in her hands, as it’s revealed to be a pair of handcuffs, which cause the crowd to go berserk.)
Flannery McCoy: Oh dear, that’s not going to be good. She grabs Machina and immediately rolls him back into the ring, and now she’s trying to restrain the Champion!
Jake Mercer: But before she can! Machina manages to connect with a boot to force her back! Before following that up as he rises back up to his feet!
Stew-O: BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE MONEY SHOT! VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: And now Machina quickly lunges forward! OH MY GOD! HE’S TRYING TO RESTRAIN KASSIDY WITH THE HANDCUFFS!
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY SOMEHOW GETS A SECOND WIND AS SHE IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO STRUGGLE! TRYING TO FREE HERSELF JUST IN TIME TO GET FREE, BUT MACHINA MANAGES JUST IN TIME-
(Click.)
Stew-O: KASSIDY IS HANDCUFFED!
(Machina stumbles backward as Kassidy immediately rolls to her side. She tries to break herself free using her wrists, but it’s clear in her current state, she can’t. But instead of feeling distressed about it, the only thing that she can do… is laugh.)
Michael Machina: (Off-Mic) … *Funny how the tables turn, huh?*
(Kassidy slowly rises up to her knees as she looks up at Machina.)
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) Fuck you.
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY WITH A LOW BLOW TO MICHAEL MACHINA!
Jake Mercer: KASSIDY JUST KICKED HIM WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A HEADBUTT DIRECTLY TO THE SKULL WHICH SENDS MACHINA STAGGERING BACK TOWARD THE CORNER!
Stew-O: MACHINA TRIES HIS BEST TO HOLD HIMSELF UP, BUT KASSIDY HAS HER EYES SET AS SHE SPRINTS FORWARD!
Flannery McCoy: CONNECTING WITH RAPTURE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! HANDCUFFS CERTAINLY WERE NOT GOING TO STOP HER THERE! MACHINA CRUMBLES DOWN TO A CRAWL AND KASSIDY NOW IS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! AS SHE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK!
Jake Mercer: LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND PAINFULLY EVER AFTER! THE CURB STOMP CONNECTS AND KASSIDY IMMEDIATELY CRUMBLES OVER MICHAEL MACHINA AND PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! SHE’S TRYING TO STEAL IT! EVEN WHILE RESTRAINED!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST KICKED OUT!
(Kassidy sits up and immediately sneers as her arms tense up with her wrists being restrained. She knows that she needs to do something quickly, because if Machina gains the advantage for even a moment, it could very well be over for her.)
(Kassidy rolls out under the bottom rope and onto the apron, as she slowly makes her way up, using her teeth to grip onto the ropes to stabilize herself, before beginning to scale up the turnbuckle padding. Machina is still down, not having moved an inch since the kick out, and she knows that this is the best way that she can take advantage.)
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY IS UP TOP!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! SHE’S GOING FOR AIRHEART! DIVING HEADBUTT!
(THUD!)
(…)
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
(Kassidy is almost out cold as she lands hard on the canvas with the headbutt having missed. A small convulsion is seen for a brief moment, but as if she almost forced herself out of it, she slowly begins to rise back up.)
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! HOW THE HELL IS KASSIDY HEART STILL CONSCIOUS?! SHE’S UP TO A KNEE-
(# CRACK!)
Jake Mercer: MICHAEL MACHINA WITH THE STEEL CHAIR DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD!
(Kassidy gets struck with the chair, but somehow, manages to keep herself up. In an almost insane manner, she tilts her head as she looks up at Machina.)
Kassidy Heart: (Off-Mic) *Hit me again.*
Michael Machina: (Off-Mic) … Gladly.
(# CRACK!)
Stew-O: MACHINA WITH ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL! STOP IT! STOP IT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT KASSIDY HEART IS STILL UP! WHAT TYPE OF MEDICAL PHENOMENON ARE WE WITNESSING RIGHT NOW?!
(Kassidy nearly teeters there, but somehow, manages to keep herself upright, and this has infuriated Machina at this point, so much so that he drops the chair down onto the ground.)
Jake Mercer: MACHINA IS DRAGGING KASSIDY OUT OF THE RING! KASSIDY IS TRYING TO PUT UP A FIGHT, BUT SHE’S TOO WEAKENED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! AND WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?!
Stew-O: HE’S PLACING HER HEAD AGAINST THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE STEEL STEPS! NO! DON’T DO IT, MACHINA! NO!
(Machina makes his way over and elects to pick up the top half of the steps and bring it into his arms. The official, immediately noticing what he’s doing, tries to stop him, but it’s no use.)
Flannery McCoy: MACHINA IS INSANE! HE’S GOING TO KILL HER! STOP! STOP-
(# BANG!)
Jake Mercer: # MICHAEL MACHINA JUST SLAMMED THE STEEL STEPS DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF KASSIDY HEART’S HEAD!
(The crowd suddenly goes dead silent, even in Dodgers Stadium of all places. Machina releases the steps and staggers back, looking at his handiwork. The referee immediately rushes over and checks on Kassidy Heart, who has gone completely limp in a pool of her own blood.)
(After a moment, the referee finally makes the decision to throw up the X.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a stoppage. Your winner…
(…)
Stephie Love: AND STILL!!!!!!!!!! EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! MICHAEL MACHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ begins to blast through the speakers once more, reverbing across a dead silent stadium crowd. Michael Machina doesn’t even immediately click in his head that he’s won, as he’s still staring at Kassidy Heart, who looks like she’s barely even breathing at this point as the referee is quickly trying to free her from her handcuffs. Even more officials are seen running down, as Machina is slowly handed over his World Heavyweight Championship.)
Stew-O: After all these years in the business, I tend not to get surprised by things a lot. But I… I don’t know what to say.
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know what we just witnessed. After an absolute war of a match, where the entire rulebook was thrown out the window for the sake of bloodlust, it took *this* to finally put down the legendary Kassidy Heart. It took the referee being forced to stop the match for Michael Machina to be able to say that he walked out of here as the World Heavyweight Champion.
Jake Mercer: This was the biggest test of not just Michael Machina’s title run so far, but his entire career, and needless to say, he passed by any means necessary. And now the goal is clear, Drake King and Cy Henderson have both won the Iron Survivor match, and it’s onto the next for the New Legend.
(Machina finally comes to his senses as he holds his title in hand, slowly beginning to make his way over to get a closer look at Kassidy Heart, and while he does…)
(He climbs onto the top half of the steel steps, taking his title and raising it into the air, all while pyro erupts out onto the stage.)
Stew-O: Which just begs the question…
Flannery McCoy: Who is going to stop Michael Machina?
(The last shot seen is Michael Machina, with a completely straight look, lowering his title and bringing it onto his shoulders, before taking his leave. Behind him, Kassidy Heart is seen being put onto a stretcher, something that the Champion briefly looks back at, before continuing his march. From there, Operation: Doomsday then begins to fade to a complete black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
