(EAW intro plays…)
(As always, a recap begins showing highlights from last week’s episode of Showdown. The show began with Voltage’s Miku Sakai confronting the Specialists Champion Dr. Bethany Blue with a number of ‘security’ personnel or rather simps. Miku made her intentions clear to Bethany that whoever is the Specialists Champion by the end of the night will be in her sights. The first match of the evening saw MITSUBACHI lead his tag partner Fujiwara to a victory over newcomers Devin Grant and Roberto De La Rosa in a tag team match. Next, Hurricane Hawk looked to settle tensions and force all three members of his Territorial Invasion main event team to get on the same page. Theron lashes Hawk for his ignorance thinking the three of them could work together, leading to an odd and awkward moment of alignment with he and LC. Hawk would hold all their ambitions for the season over their heads, swearing that unless they sort it out, none of them are going to get what they want. The recap transitions to Jon Kelton and Amir Yusuf announcing themselves for the Brand Warfare match and willingly challenging anyone who disagrees with it. Both men would state their prices, Kelton wanting a Hardcore Championship match at Clash of Kingdoms II: Shores of Gold and Amir wanting to face the New Breed Champion Ryan Wilson at the same event. The second match of the evening saw Ashley Flores square off against Veena Adams in her Showdown debut for the season. The back and forth contest would eventually see Veena Adams pull off the victory only for her and Charlie Marr to attack both Ashley Flores and TLA after the match. However, Cameron Ella Ava would make the save. Following the match, Kyra Phillips would ask Cameron why she intervened only to be approached by Ad Infinitum themselves being held back by seemingly an army of officials. Veena would swear that Cameron will pay for what she did only for Cameron to swiftly boot her in the face, drawing blood. The third match of the evening saw Jon Kelton look to get a measure of revenge against Lethal Consequences after LC cost him a victory over Theron Nikolas the week before. However, the former World Heavyweight Champion would prove to be too much, resulting in a loss for the new Brand Warfare member. Sticking with Brand Warfare, Harper Lee would confront Hurricane Hawk about the opportunities that she deserves, making it clear that when she’s the last person standing, she wants to become the next challenger to the Hardcore Championship. Hawk unfortunately tells her that it won’t be possible at Clash of Kingdoms, but will certainly be in line after. After Harper leaves, Adam Lucas steps in. Adam makes it clear that Hawk knows exactly what’s on his mind but Hawk says he can’t just simply bring back the PURE Championship. He says however that he will keep it in mind. The following match saw rising stud Amir Yusuf take on the nine time World Champion, the legend Impact. In an incredible surprise, Amir would begin to get the upper hand over Impact leading to both Theron Nikolas and Lethal Consequences getting involved to save their partner from suffering an unthinkable defeat, showing their first signs of unity. It would lead to Kelton and Lucas racing to the ring to defend their tag partner with Harper Lee’s absence noted. After, Kassidy Heart was confronted by Walter Bivens, using the same line of ‘security’ that Miku had used earlier in the evening. He handed over legal documents that stated after suffering a torn rotator cuff at the hands of the Answers World Champion the week prior, if Kassidy lays a finger on Bivens then she will be stripped of the Answers World Championship. Kassidy leaves him with a stark warning that once the match is over at Territorial Invasion, she won’t hesitate in finishing the job. And finally in the main event of the evening, Dr. Bethany Blue would square off against the challenger redeeming her Unique Opportunity from Midsummer Massacre, Ayu Megumi in a Last Woman Standing match. The two would beat, bloody and bruise each other however it would be the Champion who retained her Championship. After the match however, Voltage’s Miku Sakai would once again appear, closing the show by holding the Specialists Championship over the fallen Champion.)
(‘Brick Wall’ by A Day To Remember hits as the Saturday Night Showdown graphic loop plays. It cuts to an overview of the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida as blue and white pyrotechnics light up the stage in a series of memorising patterns before several final bursts of pyro almost render the stage hidden. Through the smoke haze remaining, a large number of bright lights shine through illuminating the venue as the crowd goes wild for the beginning of the show. Once again Showdown is live in front of a capacity crowd. The camera continues to fade between various shots of the live audience)
Deadprez: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!! WE ARE LIVE FROM THE AMWAY CENTER IN ORLANDO FLORIDA AND TONIGHT WE HAVE SOME MASSIVE MATCHES SET!
Gavin Kirkland: Yummy mommy Cameron Ella Ava and the GOAT TLA team up against the newest members of Showdown’s Brand Warfare match Jon Kelton and TLA! And in the main event, that absolutely horrible woman Kassidy Heart is going to get her due when the monster of Ad Infinitum Charlie Marr rips her to shreds! Deadprez, there’s a LOT of joy that I’m going to have tonight and I can’t wait!
Deadprez: Also you don’t want to miss the major, major announcement from Showdown’s Territorial Invasion trio. Theron Nikolas, Impact and Lethal Consequences promise to set the stage for the grand event and completely turn the match on it’s head. We can promise that this first time ever announcement is one to watch. But for now, let’s cut right to our broadcast colleague Eve who is standing in the ring!
(The camera pans around the sold out Amway Center in Orlando Florida. Fans packed together all wearing masks standing up in anticipation as the camera dissolves to the ring where Eve is standing by with a microphone in hand)
Eve: Last week in our main event we saw an outstanding Last Woman Standing match between Ayu Megumi and our Specialists Champion but it was neither woman standing tall at the end of the night, instead Voltage’s Miku Sakai making her intentions well and truly clear. Here to respond to the match made official for three weeks time at Territorial Invasion, none other than Showdown’s Specialists Champion herself, DR. BETHANY BLUE!!! MMMM!!! DDDD!!!!
(“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi plays as the crowd’s applause rises. After a moment Dr. Bethany Blue steps out onto the Showdown stage with the Specialists Championship wrapped around her waist. She makes sure the camera focuses in on the gold before heading towards the ring)
Deadprez: What an incredible match we saw last week in the main event. A Last Woman Standing match that was full to the brim with creative ingenuity from both women in order to try and be the last one standing. For all the heart and determination Megumi had, it just wasn’t enough to become the Specialists Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: 🤤 Doctors are always my favourite, you know, Deadprez. Last week she overcame the bump in the road and successfully defended her Specialists Championship for a third time, making it well and truly clear at the expense of a brave rookie in Megumi, that nothing is going to stand in her way to cementing herself as one of the all time great Specialist Champions!
(Still images of last week’s Last Woman Standing match plays. The first image is of Bethany delivering the ‘Grace C2’ into a chair with thumbtacks and staples being driven into the back of Megumi. It dissolves to Megumi hitting the ‘Saigo No Iki’ and Bethany barely making it before the ten count. And finally, the Specialists Champion sent the defiant challenger through tables, her spine being driven in the metal folded frame to retain her Championship.)
Deadprez: But as Eve said, at the end of the night, it wasn’t her who was standing tall, instead it was Miku Sakai who had made it clear to the rest of the world at the beginning of Showdown that her eyes are locked in on becoming the next Specialists Champion. And we can announce that the match was made official by both General Managers of Showdown and Voltage, Hurricane Hawk and Captain Charisma, for Territorial Invasion!
(A graphic plays promoting Dr. Bethany Blue vs Miku Sakai for Territorial Invasion briefly. Back in the ring, Dr. Bethany Blue stands beside Eve as “Bad Medicine” begins to die down)
Eve: We’ll get to Miku Sakai in just a little bit but your third successful defense last week might have surprisingly been your toughest yet. Tell us, you admired the tenacity of Ayu Megumi the first time, how little has changed – if any – the second time around?
Dr. Bethany Blue: Little, actually. Megumi did what everyone thought she would do and everything that she said she would do. She was determined to show that ‘fighting spirit’ of hers and it’s commendable, Eve. It’s commendable that someone like her managed to last as long as they did against the Champion; she truly did show that spirit. She didn’t lie, but what she did was foolishly underestimate the doctor. So nothing has changed. Her tenacity, her spirit, it really is wonderful to see…but it wasn’t enough nor will it ever be enough to defeat me.
(The crowd gives a more mixed reaction but it has no impact on Bethany who simply smirks, readjusting the Specialists Championship around her waist. Eve brings the microphone back to herself)
Eve: Speaking of challengers to your Specialists Championship, your next one had their eyes set on you and made their intentions clear well before you had even defended it against Megumi. You’re once again set to cross paths with Miku Sakai as it was made official right away for Territorial Invasion. Your thoughts?!?
(Bethany hesitates for a second, thinking through her response, but her confident demeanor doesn’t shift even slightly. Bethany proceeds to ask for the microphone and Eve doesn’t object in handing it over to the Champion before exiting the ring and making her way back to the announce desk)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I never have liked you, Miku. Back at King of Elite when we first met I found you to be…insufferable. A toxic, cancerous little thing that I wanted nothing more than to put an end to, doing everyone a favour. Instead, I had to sit back and be part of the reason why IDOL-GUN became one of the worst parts of this company as the two of you became the Unified Tag Team Champions. The difference between then and now is that the best part of the Maidens of Malpractice is Champion, whilst the deadweight of IDOL-GUN is the challenger. The talentless hack who proves time and time again that she lacks what it takes if she doesn’t have her hand held wants to step up to be the next person that I administer a prescription for an ungodly beating to and I guess it could be worse. It could be worse by having a challenger who does make me concerned, who will push me, who will test me. Cowardly attacks after I successfully defend this Championship in gruelling, tough contests isn’t going to convince me that you’re still any different to who you were back then, it only reinforces it.
(Bethany pauses for a brief moment and the crowd softly claps)
Dr. Bethany Blue: And that’s the problem, when people hear that someone from IDOL-GUN is trying to challenge me for the Specialists Championship, they don’t think of you, they think of Hikari. Just like every day that the two of you spent as the Unified Tag Team Champions was spent with the entire world viewing you as the weak link of the team. And who can blame anyone for thinking that way? Look at how you have fared without her by your side. Just the other week at Bloodsport she was coming within inches of becoming the Universal Women’s Champion while you were stuck being humiliated in having your clothes stripped off by Candice Blair of all people. Each time that you are forced to stand alone, each time you and Hikari are in separate matches you struggle…and you lose. That’s why it’s laughable to think that you ‘deserve’ this opportunity, as if you didn’t just have a chance to earn it just two weeks ago in a match most women would have won comfortably. You always rant and rave about being a ‘star’, about being someone who is famous, a ratings booster, how you ‘deserve’ it, how you ‘earned’ it, how you’re ‘entitled’ to it but never have you honestly done a thing in this company to give anyone that impression. It’s all well and good to have the motivation to ‘prove’ people wrong, to ‘shut’ people up, to bring some gold back to IDOL-GUN but your intentions fall just a little too short of being realistic especially when you waste the opportunities you do have. Eventually it’s going to have to sink in and become accepted that NONE of what you believe is a reality because you cannot do even ONE thing, win ONE match to earn any of it. Even now, I’m sure Hikari herself is already looking towards the day where she no longer has to concern herself with you and can freely do whatever she pleases without a nauseating little goblin wrapped around her ankle.
(The audience almost universally chuckles at the insult of calling Miku Sakai a goblin, forcing Bethany to break her wn confident smirk with chuckle herself. However, she quickly snaps back to it)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Even if I don’t have a say in this match being made official, as the Specialists Champion I still hold all the power. And I could utilise this advantage in a number of ways but quite frankly, I don’t need an advantage when it comes to you Miku. Instead, I’m going to use it for your sake. I’m going to give you the opportunity to prove to everyone that you’re more than just the ‘fall fodder’ for IDOL-GUN. I’m going to give you the chance to finally stand alone, back against the wall without any way out. Hikari won’t be by your side, there won’t be a way for her to get involved. We’re going to have ourselves a Lumberjack Match except it isn’t going to be members of the Showdown roster, or the Voltage roster surrounding the ring. Instead, this ring is going to be surrounded by trusted nurses to ensure that nobody gets involved and the moment that you try to run away, the moment that the harsh reality that you can’t succeed on your own sets in, they will throw you right back into this ring. And you know what? I’m going to be a kind Champion. Perhaps I can give you a third…or even half of the outside and you can bring those disease riddled diabetic slobs knowing full well that they won’t allow you to disappoint them by escaping.
(The crowd roars in approval at the stipulation as a grin widens on the Specialists Champion’s face)
Dr. Bethany Blue: There’s not going to be a single excuse for you to lean on. You won’t be able to blame me for stacking the odds against you, you won’t be able to blame the nurses on the outside, you won’t be able to pass the blame onto anyone else. Finally, you’re going to prove to the world one way or another where your place is this business, you’re going to accept that you’re not a star, that you’re nothing more than mediocrity. And that you will never be able to step out of your partner’s shadow.
(“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi returns as the crowd picks back up with a vocal applause. Bethany unstraps the Specialists Championship and holds it close to the camera, motioning for Miku to come and get it before hoisting it into the air and circling the ring, facing the crowd leading to a louder applause)
Deadprez: The stakes for Territorial Invasion have risen to new heights and you can forget brand versus brand, this is going to be more intense, more bitter and more hostile than any brand supremacy match could be. The challenger Miku Sakai will face the Champion Dr. Bethany Blue in a LUMBERJACK match and the ring will be surrounded by both nurses AND simps!
Eve: Whether you believe this to be the greatest test of the Specialists Champion’s reign so far or not, this will absolutely be a career defining match for Miku Sakai. The Champion has made it painfully clear with some of the harshest criticism of her opponent in the eight months she has been in Elite Answers Wrestling that there is only one way Territorial Invasion will go: Prove to her, prove to the entire world that Miku Sakai can stand on her own.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh lawd I’m truly blessed to see my thicc GOAT go from one Asian beauty to my favourite OnlyFans model! I don’t know what I did in my former life to deserve this amazing treatment but I’m incredibly thankful for it! It doesn’t matter who win the match BECAUSE I WILL WIN REGARDLESS 💦💦
(Bethany exits the ring and places the Specialists Championship over her shoulder. She maintains the confident expression on her face as the camera fades to black)
(COMMERCIAL: An advertisement for Dollar Shave Club airs with Limmy Monaghan showing off his sick friendly mutton chop facial hair)
(The camera fades back to the Amway Center in Orlando Florida after the commercial break. ‘Ser Real’ by Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento plays resulting in the vocal Florida crowd to heavily boo. Roberto De La Rosa emerges onto the stage with a fierce look of intensity splashed across his face as he begins to make his way down to the ring)
Gina Romano: YOUR OPENING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO! WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE POUNDS! HE IS ‘EL PADRASTRO’!!! ROBERTO DE LA RRRROOOOOOSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Deadprez: We kick things off tonight with Roberto De La Rosa, still chasing his first victory here on Saturday nights against a fan favourite and as we inch closer and closer to Territorial Invasion and Clash of Kingdoms, the opportunities to make your case are becoming fewer and fewer.
Eve: A victory here tonight could steer someone like Roberto De La Rosa in the right direction and put himself in frame to compete at either of these grand events coming up next month in September. But he’s going to have to overcome a valiant and surely spirited Strawberry Steve here tonight to do so.
(As Roberto De La Rosa settles in the ring, ‘Escape’ by Rupert Holmes begins to boom through the arena’s PA system leading to a massive cheer from the crowd. Slowly but surely, Strawberry Steve meanders out onto the stage, with his hands firmly tucked into his pockets, casually staring around the arena as he slowly walks towards the ring)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! FROM THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND! WEIGHING IN AT…IT DOESN’T MATTER. ‘FRESHLY PICKED’…STRAWBERRY!!! SSSTTTTEEEEEEVVVVVEEEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: The every beloved Strawberry Steve makes his way to the ring and despite the lack of care in his mannerisms, I’m sure is looking to bounce back from a disappointing stretch with a victory here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: :wow: This GOAT isn’t someone that Roberto De La Rosa can overlook! Not for a second! He may look like he doesn’t care at all but there’s absolutely a fire of passion burning beneath those sunglasses that will make this an uphill battle for the newcomer! Bet on it 100%!
(As Strawberry Steve rolls into the ring, still his his pockets in his hands, Roberto De La Rosa tries to confront his opponent, mistaking his casual demeanor as disrespect. However the official intervenes)
Deadprez: I don’t think Roberto De La Rosa is going to appreciate someone like Strawberry Steve entering this ring looking like they don’t have much care for who they’re facing here tonight. The official tries to settle things down as Steve removes his jacket but the moment he places his hands back into his pockets Rosa seems to become more irate!
Eve: AND IMMEDIATELY ROBERTO DE LA ROSA CHARGES IN TOWARDS STRAWBERRY STEVE LOOKING TO TAKE STEVE’S HEAD OFF WITH A RUNNING BOOT! THE OFFICIAL BARELY MANAGES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND CALLS FOR THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: DE LA ROSA BARELY MISSES STEVE WHO ROLLS THROUGH WITH HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS STILL! ROSA CATCHING HIMSELF ON THE TURNBUCKLE TO AVOID COLLIDING COMPLETELY WITH IT. THE CROWD ERUPTING IN CHEERS DOESN’T SEEM TO SETTLE WELL WITH ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!
Eve: The eyes of the big man making it perfectly clear that he doesn’t quite like the casual mannerisms of his opponent here tonight. Rosa turning and staring daggers right through Strawberry Steve who continues to pay little care and attention to his surroundings. Steve turns as De La Rosa again charges in, this time swinging wildly with a lariat but Steve rips his hands out of his pockets, drops down and rolls up the much larger opponent into a pin!
Red: OOOOONNNNNNEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa powers out of it at a count of one effortlessly! No doubt the frustrations of the first few weeks of his career here in EAW clashing with an opponent of Strawberry Steve’s lackadaisical nature, a toxic cocktail, leading to this rushed opening by Rosa! But Steve is the first to his feet, the smaller and more agile of the two with the increased pace as Rosa tries to bounce back to his. Steve, recognising that the games won’t work against someone of his opponent’s intensenity delivers a swift kick to the back of the leg, trying to keep the six foot two behemoth down on the canvas!
Gavin Kirkland: Steve backs away for a moment, measuring Rosa as he slowly rises back to the same position! STEVE COMES CHARGING IN, LOOKING TO DROP ROSA WITH THE DDSTEVE! BUT ROSA CATCHES HIM! OH NO! THE PERILOUS SITUATION BEING CAUGHT IN THE GRASP OF EL PADRASTRO! ROSA HOISTS STEVE INTO THE AIR AND SIMPLY DRIVES HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS! ALL THE AIR INSIDE THE BODY OF STRAWBERRY STEVE BEING EXHAUSTED AS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA DROPS INTO THE PIN!
Ref: OOOOONNNNNNEEEE!!!! TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: Steve shoots the shoulder up off the canvas at the count of two! Steve pops himself up off the canvas just a little trying to recollect himself but Rosa doesn’t quite allow him to take much of a breath, delivering a stiff forearm sending him crashing back down to the canvas! Steve tries to rally himself back to his feet, delivering a stray boot that catches Rosa on the jaw and sends him reeling slightly! Rosa turns and manages to catch Steve just before he manages to get back to a vertical base. Rosa wraps the arms around the waist of Strawberry Steve and connects with a huge German Suplex! Almost sending Steve crashing down entirely on the back of his neck!
Deadprez: This situation is far from ideal for Steve as he’s now at the mercy of Roberto De La Rosa, who is looking for an invaluable first victory here on Showdown and looking to make his name worth a mention for some match, some opportunity at Territorial Invasion or Clash of Kingdoms!
Gavin Kirkland: GAH STEVE NEEDS TO SORT HIS SHIT OUT QUICKLY OTHERWISE WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE A STRAWBERRY PUREE SPLATTERED ACROSS THIS RING!
Deadprez: The determination of Strawberry Steve trying to emerge as he grits his teeth and fires off with a punch to the ribs of Rosa! But Rosa barely feels it, laughing it off and instead grabs the skull of Steve with both hands and CRACKS his skull against Steve’s! A sickening crack almost ripping the life out of Steve who begins to collapse to the canvas but Rosa remains standing tall!
Eve: It’s going to take an almighty comeback from Strawberry Steve at this point to get back in control of this match and potentially win it but the eyes look delirious, his gaze is off in the distance as Rosa looks to put Steve away! Roberto De La Rosa hoists Strawberry Steve up into the air in the suplex position! LOOKING TO SPIKE STEVE INTO THE DDT, THE DE LA ROSA CLASSIC!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT LOOK! STEVE IS FIGHTING BACK! HE DROPS THE KNEE DOWN ONTO THE CROWN OF ROSA’S SKULL! AND IT’S ENOUGH TO STAGGER THE BIG MAN! HE BEGINS TO LOSE HIS GRIP AND STEVE ROLLS HIM UP INTO ANOTHER PIN; THIS TIME BOTH LEGS ARE TRAPPED, ARMS ARE PINNED TO THE CANVAS!
Ref: OOOOONNNNNNEEEE!!!! TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
Deadprez: ROSA BURSTS OUT OF THE PIN, BOTH MEN RACE TO THEIR FEET BUT ROBERTO DE LA ROSA ALMOST DECAPITATES STEVE WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! THE LARIAT ALMOST TAKING HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF AND TURNING STRAWBERRY STEVE INSIDE OUT!
Eve: THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ALL THAT STEVE HAD LEFT IN HIM. AND ROSA NOW, SIGNALS FOR THE END COMPLETELY. THE FUN AND GAMES ARE OVER FOR STEVE, THIS MATCH HAS BEEN AT A QUICKER PACE BUT EVER SINCE THE FIRST MINUTE OF EVASION, NOT EVEN OFFENSE, HAS THIS BEEN IN THE PALM OF ROBERTO DE LA ROSA! ROSA PULLS STEVE BACK TO HIS FEET FORCIBLY, YANKING THE MUCH SMALLER OPPONENT INTO POSITION. HE LIFTS HIM UP AND DRIVES HIM SKULL FIRST INTO THE CANVAS WITH THE CALLING CARD! THE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS AND ROSA ROLLS STEVE OVER INTO THE COVER.
Ref: OOOOONNNNNNEEEE!!!! TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!! TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Ser Real’ by Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento plays as Roberto De La Rosa rises to a knee over the fallen Strawberry Steve. Rosa’s eyes remain fixated on Steve as the referee cautiously steps in to raises his hand in victory, only for Rosa to snatch it away. After a moment of awkward intensity, Rosa rises to his feet and shifts his focus to celebrating his victory over Steve)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…ROBERTO DE LA RRRRROOOOOOSSSSSSAAAAAAAA!!!!
Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa picks up his first victory here in EAW in emphatic fashion! This could be seen as a considerable warning being sent to the rest of the Showdown locker room and even General Manager Hurricane Hawk.
Eve: De La Rosa has taken a bit longer to get started but this is one man who might end up being a force to be reckoned with in the coming weeks and months! The size and sheer brutality of this man means that everyone should be on guard when they’re around him and keep focused when they’re in the ring with him.
Deadprez: This might just be the first of many for the newcomer. Congratulations to Roberto De La Rosa!
(Roberto De La Rosa exits the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp, smirking as he pays little attention to the chorus of boos trying to drown out the music and as the camera fades to black)
[SCREENBAR – Backstage Locker Room]
(The camera fades into view from elsewhere, as it displays the locker room; showing what it’s named after – lockers – behind benches. The camera pans to the right as we see the Territorial Invasion 2021 poster for just a split second, before it continues to move. Despite the room being empty, we see what appears to be a red satin-fabric jacket, with gold up and down the sleeves in a fancy pattern. Sparkling in the light, and reflecting on the camera, it suddenly pans away as we see Komatsu Ogawa and MITSUBACHI, sitting across from each other. MITSU is seen clicking on his leather wrist cuffs, as he tilts his head from left to right. On the opposite side, Ogawa is lying atop the bench, on his side, getting some rest in. Seemingly, he’s been training MITSUBACHI all week, helping him with his personal problems, training faults. After all, he doesn’t have the match. He can lie down all he wants.)
MITSUBACHI: You know…
Komatsu Ogawa: Hm?
MITSUBACHI: What even happened with Fujiwara last week anyway? It seems as if he’s just disappeared after we got that victory, it’s kind of worrying if you ask me, seeing as I’ve been there before.
Komatsu Ogawa: Uhhhh… well…
(Ogawa is visibly daydreaming, practically not listening to MITSUBACHI in the slightest; lackadaisical due to the aforementioned training. MITSUBACHI looks over to Ogawa and shakes his head, before clicking his fingers in front of his face.)
MITSUBACHI: Ogawa?
CLICK! CLICK!
MITSUBACHI: Ogawa, are you listening?
CLICK! CLICK! SLAP!
MITSUBACHI: OGAWA!
(Ogawa shakes his head as he looks up with jumpy eyes, before sighing. He places his index on one eye, and his thumb on the other, as he begins to rub them; ostensibly tired. He blinks a few times, before sitting up.)
Komatsu Ogawa: What? What is it you want? I’m getting a bit of rest, we’ve been preparing all week.
MITSUBACHI: :wow: I get that, normally we’re in the other situation, but I get it. I was just wondering; what happened with Fujiwara? He was seemingly ecstatic to be picking up another victory, and whilst he didn’t want to team with us directly, he was more than happy to fill in those shoes for a little while. But one win later, poof, he’s gone. Not on the brand. Not backstage. Not on the card. Not here with us. It’s weird.
Komatsu Ogawa: Oh. Well, hm… how do I put it? That Fujiwara fellow has made some… poor choices in the past week. I don’t mean he took a wrong turn, he did something pretty bad actually. Unfortunately – or, I guess fortunately – he’s no longer on the Showdown roster. But, eh, who really cares? I certainly don’t. He wasn’t really that big a deal to me, and shouldn’t be to you. We’ll be fine with or without him, his presence did nothing but add another voice in the room; he wasn’t worth what you’re worth, we were better as a duo anyway, man.
MITSUBACHI: Ah. Well then, I see why that decision was made. I’m not too bothered either, just curious as to why a victory pushed him over the edge. :mjlol2:
Komatsu Ogawa: Luckily for the two of us, you were the one who shined back there anyway. You said it yourself, you’re the number one Cap Tapping Jap, De La Rosa didn’t stand a chance, Devin Grant didn’t stand a chance. You carried Fujiwara to a victory, and you should be incredibly proud of it. People constantly talk about “carrying” their partners around here; Jake Smith with Insurgency, Holly Arrow with Most Wanted Arrow, but unlike those two Voltage B+ Players, you’re the true package; the real deal. When I say MITSUBACHI carried Fujiwara, I’m not lying. Whilst it’s not an impressive feat to be better than him, the fact you carried dead weight with ease practically shows that you’re ready for big things.
MITSUBACHI: It did feel extremely good to come out on top with that victory for the first time in… God knows how long. I’m finally steering myself in the right path, once again with you by my side in guiding the way. It feels complete. It feels… whole. But something kinda feels missing too. I mean, what really is next? I thought myself and Fujiwara worked well together, we certainly would have got Tag Gold if we wanted to. Anything was possible together, only for it to suddenly go downhill.
Komatsu Ogawa: No, no, no. Trust me. Tag team gold? You don’t need that. Not with Fujiwara either.
(Ogawa stands up from his bench, as he pats MITSUBACHI on the back. MITSU stands up beside him, as he grabs his jacket and places it over his shoulder. They both begin to walk towards the door, as they exit the locker room, whilst talking in the process.)
Komatsu Ogawa: Have faith. Believe me, there’s nothing stopping you from breaking out from your current position right now. As long as you keep up that hard work we had just mentioned, and that skill remains at an all time high; these opportunities will come your way in absolutely no time, and it’s not going to be people using us to get whatever they want anymore. MITSU, it’s time I teach you about how the way of the world works. They fuck people over. We just have to fight back.
(Ogawa places his arm over MITSUBACHI’s shoulder as they turn a corner. The two of them begin to walk through the corridors as arrowed signs point in the direction to the Gorilla Position; the area that leads directly onto the stage, out to the ring, where MITSUBACHI needs to be next for his matchup against Limmy Monaghan. MITSUBACHI begins to put his arms into his jacket sleeves, before they suddenly stop in their tracks. Ogawa smirks, as the camera pans around to show none other than the general manager, Hurricane Hawk. Ogawa nudges MITSU’s shoulder, before talking to Hawk.)
Komatsu Ogawa: Well, well, well. Speak of the man we just want to see-
Hurricane Hawk: My apologies, Ogawa, I don’t mean to cut you off; but that’s actually why I’m here. You two, more importantly, MITSUBACHI is the reason why I’m here. I was looking for you specifically. I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation over there, and you were talking about the ideas of opportunity, and that really brings a smile to my face. You’re hungry to get to that next level, and I’m hungry for a spot to be taken for a certain match that’s coming up.
Komatsu Ogawa: See what I mean, MITSU? Exactly what we’re looking for. Mr. Hawk, yes, we’re listening.
MITSUBACHI: Yeah, go ahead and explain. Doesn’t matter the match. Stipulation. 2 people or 50 people, hell, a Battle Royal. I’m itching for that opportunity, and you know this, so spill the details and don’t keep me waiting – respectfully speaking. After all, we don’t want to delay the show, do we?
Hurricane Hawk: No, no we don’t. I appreciate that thought in mind, MITSUBACHI, no offense taken. As I said, I’m looking for someone to take this opportunity, and seeing as you’re ready…
(Hurricane Hawk, very much like he did with Ayu, builds up the anticipation for a bit. MITSU crosses his arms, as Ogawa places his arm on MITSU’s shoulder. Komatsu Ogawa can clearly tell this is nothing short of beneficial for MITSUBACHI, regardless of what the match opportunity is. He’s in luck.)
Hurricane Hawk: I need another Showdown Representative to lead a team heading into Territorial Invasion. I need another man to be the chief of another team for the purpose… of the Divide & Conquer matchup, something we haven’t seen in two years! A returning matchup, going head-to-head up against Voltage, and the caveat being multiple members of Showdown will be teaming up with members of Dynast, combatting five members of the Sunday Night Brand. Seeing how you’ve done your studying in the past, I’m sure you’re very aware of the opportunity that you’re going to be having; and if you do accept, the opportunity to be leading that team into battle. Truth be told, I was watching closely when it came to every single match last week, not a single contest had escaped my eye for even a second, and I was impressed by you, MITSU. Not because of your outstanding wrestling, at least not solely, but because you managed to turn that negativity into a huge plus – congratulations on that victory might I add – and it’s the exact heat that I need on my brand. It’s the heat I need representing my brand. I believe the rest of the teams have perfectly selected captains, and I believe that you’re just another one in that list. So, if you’re up for the challenge, I would gladly wish to anoint you, MITSUBACHI, as the captain of this team heading in to Territorial Invasion. Hearing your hunger, I assume the answer is… ?
MITSUBACHI: Well…
(MITSUBACHI runs the opportunity through his head. He begins to think, however, he won’t be thinking for too long; as the answer pops right into the front of his mind almost instantly.)
MITSUBACHI: Only a fool and a coward would back away from a challenge such as that, and to quote myself; I’m too hot to die like that. I’m not going to stray away from the challenge. You could put any member of their roster up against me. Believe me, it’s going to work in our favor. You need a chief captain? You have a bet, Hawk.
(MITSUBACHI nods at Hurricane Hawk, as the two stare at each other with similar signs of respect. Hurricane Hawk nods back, before allowing Ogawa and MITSUBACHI to walk past him towards the Gorilla Position, which they do, walking out of shot. The final shot is of Hawk, smirking at his decision, knowing he made the right choice, before Showdown fades to ringside…)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR..ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno plays to a loud reaction from the fans as Mitsubachi steps out from behind the curtain, and the reaction only grows louder once the fans see Komatsu trailing behind, feeding words of encouragement on to his friend as they make their way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Komatsu Ogawa…HE IS THE REBORN…MITSUBACHI!!
Deadprez: Tonight is another big opportunity for Mitsu to drag himself out the rut he’s been in as of late since joining the Showdown.
Eve: Yeah, and maybe with the backing of Komatsu Ogawa once again, he can do just that, but as of right now, I’m not too sure if Mitsu is taking an opportunity of this magnitude as serious as he should be.
Deadprez: Or maybe he is, seeing as we haven’t heard him utter a single word this week, maybe this has been mind games, or a week of preparation for Mitsubachi instead, only time will tell here.
(‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake plays to an equally loud ovation as Limmy begins to make his way down to the ring alongside Walter Bivens as the duo seem focused, perhaps aiming to send a message.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing out of Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at 224 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Walter Bivens…HE IS THE MONARCH…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!
Gavin Kirkland: Boo!! Kassidy Heart’s better!!
Eve: She’s not gonna fuck you, bro.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry:
Deadprez: :wow: Limmy Monaghan is here, and you can tell he means business, because tonight, while a win here for Mitsubachi would do wonders for his career, a loss here for Limmy wouldn’t have the same effect.
Eve: Yeah, it already feels like some are still underestimating him going into his bout with Kassidy Heart, and tonight is just another opportunity to shut them up, most importantly, put Kassidy Heart on notice.
(Limmy settles in the ring with Mitsubachi as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: There you have it! The bell has rung, and this match is officially underway between Limmy Monaghan and Mitsubachi, who lock up in the center of the ring, jockeying for position, but Limmy manages to get the upper hand early, making a go behind on Mitsu for a rear waistlock, but Mitsu looks over to Ogawa on the outside, perhaps remembering training as he reaches behind, snapmaring Limmy down to a seated position, which is followed by a rear chinlock!
Deadprez: Limmy is looking to pry the arm of Mitsubachi from around his head, but it’s no use as Mitsubachi has the hold in tight, forcing Limmy to try and fight back to his feet, which he manages, BUT HE ALMOST GETS KNOCKED RIGHT BACK OFF OF THEM WITH A FOREARM SMASH FROM MITSUBACHI, STAGGERING HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! MITSU CHARGES IN, BUT LIMMY GETS OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING MITSU TO GO CHEST FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE STUMBLING BACK INTO A SCHOOL BOY BY MONAGHAN, WHO DOESN’T HOLD IT IN FOR A PIN, OPTING TO ROLL MITSU TO ALL FOURS, TRAPPING HIM IN A GROUNDED FRONT FACELOCK AFTERWARDS!
Eve: BUT LOOK AT LIMMY, WHO FIGHTS BACK TO HIS FEET NOW, AND ESCAPES OUT OF THE FRONT FACELOCK WITH A REAR WAISTLOCK GO BEHIND! GERMAN SUPLEX FROM MONAGHAN…GETS BLOCKED! MITSU HOLDS THAT WEIGHT OF HIS DOWN, CRACKING LIMMY WITH A STIFF BACK ELBOW, MITSU LOOKS TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RUN OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM- OR SO HE TRIED AS LIMMY PULLED HIM BACK IN BY THE REAR WAISTBAND OF HIS PANTS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, DUMPING MITSU ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Deadprez: But Limmy doesn’t go for the cover, perhaps knowing it’s gonna take a lot more to finish a guy like Mitsu off, and now is just gonna bring him into the corner, slamming his face off the top turnbuckle before landing some corner forearm strikes, causing Mitsu to shove him away, attempting to get some breathing room in the corner at the opposite end of the ropes! But Limmy goes after him, connecting with some knife edge chops in the corner now that echo throughout the arena!
Komatsu Ogawa: CMON, MITSU! COVER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Ogawa shouts some words of advice to his friend, which Mitsu attempts to follow, but Monaghan quickly clears the arm of Mitsu out the way, CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP! HE TRIES TO THIS ON KING KASS, AND HE MIGHT POP A TITTY!
Deadprez + Eve: :roman:
Gavin Kirkland: What? I’m right!
Eve: :francis: Anyways…MITSU FINALLY STARTS TO FIGHT BACK, THROWING A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF MONAGHAN, WHO DOUBLES OVER IN PAIN! MITSU SEES A SLIVER OF OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE MATCH TO GO BACK INTO HIS FAVOR, ATTEMPTING TO SEND LIMMY TO THE OUTSIDE, BUT MONAGHAN COUNTERS, SENDING MITSU TUMBLING OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND LIMMY IS ROLLING, MAKING SURE MITSU HASN’T EVEN GOTTEN OUT THE GATE TONIGHT AS HE STEPS OUT ON THE APRON, LOOKING TO PURSUE HIS PRE-
Deadprez: PREY NO MORE AS MITSU GRABS AHOLD OF LIMMY’S ANKLE, TRIPPING HIM UP ON THE APRON, MAKING THE BACK OF LIMMY’S HEAD HIT HARD!
Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of hard-
Eve: No.
Gavin Kirkland: :kyrie:
Deadprez: Focusing back on the in ring action, we’re starting to see Mitsu move with a sense of urgency we haven’t seen so far in this matchup, quickly rolling Limmy back into the ring for a pinfall victory here, imagine what this can do for the career of Mitsubachi!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWW-
Eve: KICKOUT! Limmy is still alive, but Mitsubachi stays on his opponent with a jumping knee drop, which hits hard across the chest! Mitsu makes another cover!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
T-
Eve: AND THERES ANOTHER KICKOUT, THIS TIME MORE EXPLOSIVE AS LIMMY STARTS TO STIR BACK TO HIS FEET! MITSU LOOKS TO SHUT ANY HOPES AT A COMEBACK DOWN, STANDING LIMMY UP BEFORE HOISTING HIM UP IN THE AIR, DROPPING HIM DOWN FACE FIRST WITH A GOURDBUSTER, LIMMY JOLTS UP TO BOTH KNEES, TENDING TO HIS FACE, AND MITSUBACHI GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! HOWEVER, LIMMY HAS IT WELL SCOUTED, DUCKING UNDERNEATH BEFORE SHOVING MITSU FORWARD INTO THE ROPES!
Deadprez: BUT MITSU DOESN’T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO REBOUND OFF, QUICKLY GETTING CAUGHT WITH A RUNNING JUMPING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!! OR AS MOST WOULD CALL IT WHEN ASSOCIATED WITH LIMMY, THE MURDER TO EXCELLENCE! AND GOOD GOD, DID YOU SEE THE RIPPLE ON MITSU’S FACE, WHO GOT HIT HARD, MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF WALTER BIVENS ON THE OUTSIDE, WHO SEEMS TO BE PROUD OF HIS CLIENT’S HANDIWORK, FEELING AS IF HE HAS THINGS IN THE BAG RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Eve: AND YOU CAN’T BLAME WALT FOR THINKING SO, MITSUBACHI IS ROCKED, AND NOW HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! LIMMY TRIES TO SET HIM UP FOR THAT HANGMAN TO CONNECT WITH HIBERNIAN DAGGER! BUT MITSU ESCAPES BY TURNING HIMSELF TOWARDS LIMMY, WHO DOESN’T GET TIME TO TURN AROUND AS MITSUBACHI CONNECTS WITH A SINGLE LEG BACKSTABBER! MITSUBACHI HAS A CHANCE, HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY AS HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE, STALKING HIS OPPONENT, WHO SLOWLY WORKS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LIMMY ISNT GONNA GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO DIVE OFF, QUICKLY LEAPING UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE HIMSELF, SHOWING OFF THAT INSANE ATHLETECISM BEFORE TAKING MITSU DOWN WITH A TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA! MITSU WRITHES ON THE FLOOR IN PAIN, CERTAINLY FEELING THE EFFECTS, WHILE LIMMY FINDS HIMSELF SAT DOWN IN THE CORNER, EYEING MITSU WITH A LOOK OF INTENSITY IN HIS EYES AS HE AWAITS HIM TO GET BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE!
Deadprez: MITSU HAS NO IDEA WHATS COMING AS LIMMY CHARGES IN FOR ANOTHER MURDER TO EXCELLENCE! BUT THIS TIME, MITSU COUNTERS WITH A SCHOOL BOY ROLLUP, BUT LIMMY ROLLS THROUGH TO BOTH FEET WHILE MITSU SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS, ATTEMPTING TO GROUND LIMMY AGAIN WITH A LARIAT! BUT MONAGHAN DUCKS UNDER, GOING BEHIND MITSU BEFORE PULLING AN OFF AN IMPRESSIVE MANEUVER IN THE MANIAC AGENDA!
Eve: THE SNAP SLEEPER SUPLEX LANDS AND GIVES LIMMY ROOM TO LOCK IN THE AFTER LAUGHTER! THAT OVER THE SHOULDER CROSSFACE HAS MITSUBACHI SCREAMING IN PAIN BEFORE HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake plays to a mostly positive reaction from the audience, some looking to see Mitsu win here, but regardless, Walt steps into the ring to celebrate alongside a victorious Monaghan while Mitsu rolls to the outside where he is checked on by Komatsu.)
Eve: Well, tonight was mostly a match in favor of Monaghan, who we can say brought it tonight, really looking to send a message to the Answers World Champion, who you just know is watching currently.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, but who I also know is gonna beat that Scottish bozo! LONG LIVE KING KASS!!! :shaq:
Eve: Stop your simping.
(The camera fades elsewhere as both Limmy and Walt start to make their way to the back.)
(The crowd roars as the camera opens with a shot of a smiling Kyra Phillips in the backstage interview area with an EAW branded mic in hand as she prepares to introduce her guest.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time…Ayu Megumi!
(A loud pop is heard as the camera widens for a slightly dejected Megumi to step into frame, clearly unhappy about the way last week turned out.)
Kyra Phillips: Ayu, last week, you took on Bethany Blue for the Specialists Championship, but unfortunately, you came up short, can you give us insight as to what’s been going through your head since last week.
Ayu Megumi: The main thing that’s been running through my head is when I’d get the opportunity to come on here and, well, apologize. Because you’re right, last week, I went up against Bethany Blue for the second time, and once again, I unfortunately came up short, and in turn, I feel as if I disappointed my fans, and the man who gave me that title opportunity in the first place, Hurricane Hawk. But when it comes to Bethany, I’m not gonna come on here and make excuses, she beat me fair and square, so I congratulate her on another successful defense for that title. But don’t write me off just yet, because this thing between us is far from over, because sooner rather than later, the two of us will cross paths again, and while some may say the outcome will remain the same, I think differently. In fact, I think that the next time we share the ring together, I’ll have continued to only get better and better and better and better, better than I was in our last match, and when that day finally comes, I will officially be able to say that I beat Bethany Blue!
Kyra Phillips: Yes, but until then, what’s next for you in terms of direction here on Showdown?
Ayu Megumi: Well, I’m not too sure as of that right now, but-
(Ayu’s speech is cut off by both Hurricane Hawk and Adam Lucas, who both enter the frame.)
Hurricane Hawk: Ayu, I just wanna let you know that the week after you won your Unique Opportunity, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by your effort and tenacity, and as for last week, last week doesn’t change that one bit. Because in my eyes, your Last Woman Standing match was one of the best matches of the season so far, and I’m sure many others can agree, along with the fact that even in defeat, you shouldn’t have anything to be disappointed by. Because in case you haven’t noticed, this season is just like your career in that it’s just getting started, not to mention, quite long and winding, and I’d go as far to say unpredictable, because I can assure you, no one really knows what’s gonna happen next. But I do, in fact, BOTH me and Adam do, isn’t that right?
(Lucas steps in now, taking the lead in terms of speaking from Hawk.)
Adam Lucas: It sure is, because Ayu, even though I’m not the captain and making the orders around here when it comes to Showdown’s half of brand warfare, I am someone that’s also been impressed with you since you stepped foot here on Showdown, and after seeing your performances these past few weeks, I know that there is only one person deserving on the final spot on team Showdown, which is why I went to ask Hawk so he could make the call official himself, and once I did, neither of us really had to say much of anything.
Hurricane Hawk: Well, except how, Ayu, you’re going to officially be the final member of Showdown’s Brand Warfare team!
(Ayu’s mood finally perks up with excitement as she shakes the hand of a proud Adam before giving a Hurricane Hawk, only for the fun to be spoiled by Harper Lee, who walks into frame with a sarcastic applause, clearly a bit ticked off.)
Harper Lee: Ok, I have to be hearing this wrong, because there’s no way you put HER in as the final member of our team, especially without consulting ME, who last time I checked, is apart of said team, a team that you said a few weeks ago wasn’t going to have a anyone specific as it’s captain. But anyways..
(Harper shakes her head before turning attention to Ayu, who doesn’t seem to be all that bothered by Harper, simply rolling her eyes at the fun being spoilt.)
Harper Lee: In case you haven’t realized by now, I’m not too happy with you being included on our team, because to be honest, I’m not really seeing what Lucas OR Hawk are really seeing in you. Because what I see is someone that’s bound to get hurt thanks to this upbeat positivity of yours, and I should know, because I’ve been in your shoes, and I can already tell what the future holds for someone like you sooner rather later, and it isn’t you getting your hand raised over Bethany Blue.
(Harper soon darts her attention back over to Hawk and Adam.)
Harper Lee: But back to the task at hand, I hope you guys realize that I can’t be expected to trust someone I don’t even know, but thankfully, I’m Harper Lee, and I usually carry a fountain of great ideas, and right now, I have the idea of facing Ayu here next week, just to find out exactly who’ll supposedly be my teammate for Territorial Invasion, that is if she’s bold enough to face me.
(Harper gets in the face of Megumi, who laughs her off.)
Ayu Megumi: :mjlol2: You really think I’m not bold enough to face you? Sounds like another one of your delusions, because I gladly accept your challenge, in fact, I think it’ll be fun tearing it up in the ring with you next week, so I can tear it up with you at Territorial Invasion as like you said, teammates. So, consider next week a test, not just for me, but for both of us to see who really is in the best shape to lead team Showdown to victory!
(Harper Lee seems to be a bit bewildered at this clapback from Ayu before she storms off, as the camera focuses back on Hawk, Lucas, and Ayu.)
Adam Lucas: Don’t worry about her, she can be a lot to get used to.
Ayu Megumi: That’s an understatement.
Hurricane Hawk: But regardless, congrats on your spot, and best of luck to you next week as well! I have a feeling you won’t make us regret this decision.
(The camera fades elsewhere as both Lucas and Hawk saunter off, leaving a visibly excited Megumi with an amused Kyra, who issues a congratulations herself.)
(The camera fades back to the Amway center where the crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the next match of the evening. The camera dissolves to a shot of Gina Romano standing by with a microphone in hand)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION, ADAM LUCAS! FROM CHICAGO, IL. AND DALLAS, TX.! AT A TOTAL COMBINED WEIGHT OF 397 POUNDS! THE TEAM OF AMIR YUSUF AND JON KELTON!!!!
(‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil starts to play throughout the arena as Amir walks out with Jon Kelton and Adam Lucas, all three men look at one another and nod before heading to the ring. The fans cheer as they acknowledge them, Kelton slides in, Amir climbs the ropes and poses, Adam stays on the outside and claps for them.)
Deadprez: Tag team action time and this is a very interesting and talented team with one of the best young wrestlers in the World today, Adam Lucas at the hilt.
Eve: And this is a preview for possibly things to come. Adam and Amir went through hell together in that Hardcore Match at Midsummer Massacre, they respect one another, and Jon Kelton is always a very dangerous man.
Gavin Kirkland: I wonder if TLA will bring out Poons considering he is teaming up with MILF.
(As Yusuf’s music fades, it is replaced by ‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli. The crowd cheers as Cameron Ella Ava makes her way to the stage…)
Gina Romano: THEIR OPPONENTS FIRST SHE HAILS FROM LOS ANGELES, CA.! WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS! SHE IS “THE GODDESS” CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!
(She looks out to the crowd and gyrates some before heading to the ring, focused on Kelton and Amir who watches her as she gets to the apron, poses and flips over the top rope, standing in the middle of the ring as the crowd cheers but her theme fades as by ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac, the crowd begins to cheer.)
Gina Romano: AND HER TAG TEAM PARTNER RESIDING FROM THE POON PALACE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS! LA PANTERA SEXUAL….. TLA!!!!!!!!!
(As TLA slowly starts to walk out with two of his hottest Poons from the Palace, with a huge smile on his face, he points to the social distanced crowd as well and slowly starts to make his way toward the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: HE BROUGHT POONS!
Eve: And Gavin is happy while TLA makes his entrance, yes he brought Poons.
Deadprez: We saw this alliance form last week and it will be interesting to see how they work together here tonight against two excellent EAW Showdown brand Elitists and don’t forget, Adam Lucas in the corner.
(Smiling, TLA reaches ringside, the Poons walk up to the canvas and hold the ring ropes open, so he can glide right in, posing in front of his Poons as they take off his fur coat and hat, readying him for the match, he glances over at Cameron and winks.)
Gavin Kirkland: They need to come and sit next to us!
Eve: Let’s just get this match started.
Deadprez: The referee checking both teams as he calls for the bell and the start of the match!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Cameron and Amir Yusuf start the match, the circle around the ring before stopping and shaking hands. The crowd cheers at the sportsmanship before they lock up, Amir quickly pushes her back to the ropes and they have a clean break. He backs up some before they lock up again, this time Cameron drops to one knee to get some momentum, pushing him back to the ropes, and again she makes the break.)
Deadprez: Good clean wrestling by both to start off this match, Adam Lucas on the outside as Jon Kelton is waiting patiently for a tag and TLA looks more than ready in his first action back since Midsummer Massacre. Cameron looks to be in the best shape of her life as they go to lock up again but no! Amir gets behind Cameron, Take down, now Cam quickly spins around, she gets behind Amir now and into a front facelock but he is back up to his knees, he twists around, going for a Northern Light’s Suplex, Cameron puts all her weight down, he can’t lift her, she spins him around into a BACK SLIDE!

Eve: Amir kicks out, Cameron is back up, he jumps with a School Boy!

Eve: Cameron is able to get out, they are both back on their feet, Cam with a huge European forearm! It stunned Amir who backs up slowly, she charges in, ducking the clothesline, Cameron bounces off the ropes, DROPKICK BY AMIR! That hit her right in the face, and this could be over!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Kick out by Cameron! Amir grabs her leg and is dragging her to the corner….
TAG!
Deadprez: Here comes Jon Kelton as Amir holds her leg, an elbow to the chest of Cameron! Kelton backs up some and drops a knee right to her chest! Jon picks her up, Irish Whips to the turnbuckle, Kelton rushes in, Cameron moves out of the way quickly, but Kelton puts on the brakes, he grabs Cam from behind, a stiff back elbow, Kelton let’s go and Cam now whips Kelton into the ropes, she goes for a back body drop, NO! Kelton with a Swinging Neck Breaker, NO! Cameron spun out of it, he goes for a clothesline, she ducks, Russian Leg Sweep! That was executed beautifully! Cameron goes to her corner!
TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the man, TLA and his Poons keep looking over here at me, giving that smile! They like me, I knew TLA would hook me up!
Eve: Whatever. Anyways, TLA is in, and Kelton is getting back up, TLA quickly whips him into the ropes, back body drop! Kelton is back up quickly as TLA roars in with a clothesline! Kelton is back down as TLA with a few forearms, backing him into the turnbuckle, whipping him across the ring, charging in, no! Kelton at the last second with a boot! He comes out with a leapfrog over TLA, and he jumps to the corner….
TAG!
Deadprez: Kelton tags in Amir Yusuf and he jumps out and drop kicks TLA! Amir is a house of fire, with a number of forearms to TLA, an Arm drag but TLA rolls through, Amir charges and TLA arm drags him, now both wrestlers lock up and Amir with a hip toss, NO! TLA reverses it, he hip tosses Amir, but he twists and lands on his feet, TLA charges in and suddenly Amir with a snap powerslam and he hooks the leg!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: TLA quickly kicking out! Cameron is looking on as the speed of Amir Yusuf is blinding! TLA walks into a Hurricanrana! Amir waits as TLA is back to his feet and another Hurricanrana… NO!

Amir hops around some, turning right into…)
Gavin Kirkland: IN EXCELSIS! AMIR DROPS TO THE MAT! MILF JUST TOOK HIM DOWN! She isn’t going for the cover, MILF picks up Amir, SNAP SUPLEX ON HIM AND ROLLING OVER, FOR THE PIN, NO SHE PICKS HIM UP FOR ANOTHER SNAP SUPLEX AND NOW ROLLS OVER AND PICKS HIM UP FOR A THIRD SNAP SUPLEX! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Amir Yusuf kicks out, Cameron quickly locks him into a reverse chin lock, Amir is trying to reach the ropes, but Cameron has him locked, she quickly spins him around and traps him into a Camel Clutch, Amir screams in pain as the referee goes to ask him. Adam Lucas is cheering from the outside, slamming the mat.)
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) COME ON AMIR! YOU CAN DO IT!
(Amir is fighting the pain, Jon Kelton is ready to run in but gives Amir the chance to try and break it free on himself.)
Deadprez: Cameron trying to really wear Amir down, it is a smart move, if she can keep him locked, this could do it, the key is to not allow the young man to tag, he is a spitfire on his own and she knows it. Cam has it locked in, and she is pulling back! Amir is bending the wrong way! Cameron is…. KELTON RUNS IN WITH A KICK TO BREAK IT UP! Cameron falls over as Amir is slowly trying to get to his feet. Cameron though recovers, she grabs Amir…. HE REVERSES! KICK TO THE GUT AND TORNADO DDT ON CAMERON! SHE IS DOWN AND AMIR JUMPS TO JON KELTON!

Eve: You stay right here, they are paid to flirt with you, stupid! TLA breaks the fall and Cameron needs to tag as both Amir and Kelton are using some great teamwork right now and Adam Lucas is out there cheering them on!

Ad Infinitum stands there in the entranceway, but soon make their way half down the aisle, both glaring at TLA and Cameron who now have their attention on Ad Infinitum, Kelton from behind…)

(Amir and TLA are both down, TLA is first to crawl over and he tags Cameron Ella Ava, Amir barely tags in Jon Kelton who runs in and Cameron side steps, Kelton stumbles forward, he turns and Cameron with THE LASSO OF TRUTH! KELTON BOUNCES OFF AND THEN INTO A BELLY TO BELLY HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER….
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton kicks out but look at Charlie and Veena, they are just standing there watching and you know this is a huge distraction for this tag match! Cameron grabs Kelton but he quickly rolls her up for the cover….
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MILF KICKS OUT! KELTON IS ON HER THOUGH! SPINNING HEEL KICK THAT STUNS CAMERON! HE GOES TO SET HER UP FOR FINAL ATONEMENT….. NO TLA WITH A HUGE SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF KELTON AND THAT STUNNED HIM! AMIR JUMPS FROM THE TOP MIDDLE ROPE AND FOREARM SMASH ON TLA! HE GETS UP AND WONDER WOMAN PUNCH ON AMIR AS HE STUMBLES RIGHT INTO TLA WHO IS BACK UP… POON DADDY WITH ANOTHER SWAG SHOT THAT STUNS AMIR AND TLA CLOTHESLINES BOTH HE AND AMIR OVER THE TOP ROPE BUT CAMERON DOESN’T SEE KELTON FROM BEHIND HE HOOKS HER INTO THE FINAL ATONEMENT AGAIN BUT SHE QUICKLY POWERS HIM UP OVER!
(Charlie and Veena step closer to the ring as Cameron again turns to them but she focuses on Kelton)
Eve: CAMERON WITH THE SHOW OF STRENGTH! SHE TURNS TO CHARLIE AND VEENA, KELTON IS UP HOLDING HIS BACK AND SHE GRABS KELTON FROM BEHIND! BREAKING BARRIERS CONNECTS! CAMERON HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: THE WINNERS OF THE MATCH! THE TEAM OF CAMERON ELLA AVA AND TLA!!!!!!!!!!
(‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli plays throughout the arena as Cameron rolls off Kelton automatically up to her knees staring at Charlie Marr and Veena Adams who tried to distract both her and TLA who joins her, helping Cameron back up to her feet as they continue to stare down Ad Infinitum.)
Deadprez: Huge win by TLA and Cameron Ella Ava! Amir and Kelton gave it their all but in the end, Cameron and TLA were just a little too much, but the big story out of this was Ad Infinitum trying to distract them and came out to probably cost them the match!
Eve: That is exactly what they wanted to do, but it didn’t work and TLA with Cameron came out with a huge victory, where these four are on a collision course to face one another! Give it to Amir and Jon Kelton, they came to fight and almost had them on a few occasions. Great win for TLA and Cameron!
Gavin Kirkland: I am just happy there were Poons and Milf’s, now Veena too! This is wonderful, my night was made!
(Cameron and TLA stare down Charlie and Veena as they slowly back up the ramp. Charlie has to grab Veena a few times to hold her back. Kelton rolls out of the ring and is met by Amir and Adam who all three help one another, but the camera focuses on TLA and Cameron keeping their eyes on Ad Infinitum.)
(The camera then fades to the backstage area, opening up in catering, as we see Ashley Flores sitting down on a chair, seemingly there to rest without the noise of other Elitists in the locker room, where she is holding onto her jaw, feeling the effects of her match last week with Veena Adams; the diving double foot stomp to the jaw being the catalyst to her loss. Ashley seems to be in even more of a bitchy mood, as her facial expressions suggest, she’s far from being the happiest person in the room; even employees who hate this place have more joyful life inside of them. Ashley is truly pissed off at what had transpired last week, looking to assist her trainer in an issue he was facing, only for a distraction to lead to a result she had hoped to see the opposite of, especially in a match such as that. It’s excusable that she’d be in a bad mood – but that wasn’t going to get better any time soon.)
???: Ashley! Just a moment of your time?
Ashley Flores: Ugh, what now Kyr-
(However, it wouldn’t be Kyra Phillips stepping in; as she turns her head to see none other than Hurricane Hawk walking into view, wearing a suit, hair tied back. Ashley rolls her eyes, tilting her head back in the process, letting out one big sigh, unable to see why she couldn’t just be left alone, especially from people she doesn’t hold in good eyes.)
Ashley Flores: Ughhhhh, it’s even worse than Kyra. What do you want, Ty? I’m not in the mood to talk to you.
Hurricane Hawk: Bite that tongue, Ashley, I’m not in the mood for an argument myself. Believe me, you’re going to want to hear me out on this, because if not, that’s just going to be an opportunity you perversely let slip by. I’m not going to doubt your lack of motivation to talk to me or anyone else in the office, but you’re going to have to hold off on that if you want to move forward.
Ashley Flores: And if it doesn’t interest me?
Hurricane Hawk: Then I’ll leave you be, and you’ll simply have to deal with missing out on an opportunity you’d have been grateful to have, in all probability.
(Ashley Flores turns her eyes away from Hawk to think about what he’s talking about to the fullest. It’s true she doesn’t entirely like Hawk, but hey, an opportunity is an opportunity.)
Ashley Flores: Alright, I’m listening – but I’m not going to listen to your annoying ass voice for too long. Hurry it up and don’t waste my time, you have 30 seconds on the clock to intrigue me, then you’re packing your bags and getting the fuck out of my face; you got it?
(Hurricane Hawk sighs, and shakes his head at Ashley’s insistence of being disrespectful; however, he doesn’t waste any time at getting into the meat of what he has to offer her.)
Hurricane Hawk: Alright. I’ve been getting my fair share of chats in with Captain Charisma ahead of Territorial Invasion, or in this case, for an exhibition match at Clash of Kingdoms II-
Ashley Flores: Nope. Not at all, not even remotely interested in that trashy ass idea. Cya.
(Ashley Flores sighs and goes to shoulder Hurricane Hawk, walking past him.)
Hurricane Hawk: :comeagain:!!! You promised 30 seconds of your time, so at the very least hear me out-
Ashley Flores: No, Hawk, you hear me out! I brook no refusal in competing in some dogshit, meaningless exhibition match so a bunch of oil rich men can blow a quick load to women wrestling around in some tight leather clothing, treating us like objects so they can get the wrong idea on what entertainment is in professional wrestling. I didn’t get TLA to train me to be a wrestler just so I can act like a “poon” for someone else; and I won’t be a tool in helping false ‘progression’ idealisms in a country that still mistreats women. You don’t like me being disrespectful? Then don’t return the favor, maybe one day we’ll see eye to eye on scenarios like this.
Hurricane Hawk: I mean… sigh, I guess so. Nevermind me then, Ashley, I don’t know why I bothered to begin with.
(Ashley cockily nods, still with a frown on her face, before turning around once again. Hurricane Hawk appears defeated in his efforts, there’s no way he was going to be able to argue with Ashley Flores after she just ranted about something as deep as that. Natheless, Ashley Flores would stop in her tracks, turning back to Hurricane Hawk; this time with a smile on her face, and an idea in her mind. He can already tell it’s not great.)
Ashley Flores: As a matter of fact, I’ll be able to reconsider. With a price…
Hurricane Hawk: :wow: Go ahead, Ashley, what’s the catch?
Ashley Flores: I’ll do the match, with one condition for you to follow; I’m not going to reduce myself to, not only a terrible match idea, but letting myself be Porn Lite for the angry government men, for so little stakes and so little reward in doing so. I’m sure you already got the jist of it, right? I’ll do it if I get a good payday from the Blood Money they offer you people.
(Hurricane Hawk’s eyebrows instantly raise up in sheer shock and confusion – Ashley Flores was the one preaching about morality and seemingly being a glistening ball of light for the women of tomorrow, and now that’s entirely flipped onto it’s head with such a brutally crude statement such as that one.)
Hurricane Hawk: Again, :comeagain:!!!
Ashley Flores: What’s the problem now?
(Hurricane Hawk facepalms, as he sighs even deeper. But, he doesn’t ignore her offer, truthfully, it’s his job to make ends meet and have a sustainable roster; he wasn’t going to walk away from her regardless of what she asked.)
Hurricane Hawk: Y’know it’s probably for the best that you don’t refer to getting paid well as “blood money”, that term would be pretty offensive for all of the people in said country, and I’d rather not risk getting our deal terminated, and losing out on business profits, and the opportunity to have one more flame of a show underneath our everlasting belt of unbeatable television. I don’t want you to be the reason that event gets cancelled, as a matter of fact, I don’t want that responsibility to lie in my hands for letting that slip.
Ashley Flores: I mean, where’s the lie? That’s exactly what the money is, so it’s not as if I’m exposing a deep rooted secret about them. Their government has a boatload of money, and regardless of how they get it, they would not notice just a cent of their money going towards yours truly, going towards compensating for me blatantly shelving my morality for their enjoyment, and whatever “business profits” EAW’s grubby hands can hang onto. I don’t care what it’s called. Call it “blood money”, call it “bribe money”, call it whatever, the name isn’t what bothers me anyway, it’s the worth of it.
Hurricane Hawk: And that’s a problem; you don’t care what you call it. That money probably won’t land in your pockets if you continue to use terms like that :yikes:. The company competing under that region will most likely be placed under a cloud, so remember what I said about you biting your tongue, because as we’ve seen with Lisa Wren; that mouth of yours can land both yourself and us in trouble. You don’t want any worse than simply dressing up in skin tight clothing now, do you, Ashley?
(Ashley sighs at his insistence, rolling her eyes.)
Ashley Flores: I don’t give a fuck what it’s called, alright? The point is, I’m not going to reveal myself like that if I’m not getting paid, and paid real good; and you’ll do exactly that. I expect “Shores of Gold” coming my way, because if not? Forget your fucking exhibition match, and forget me ever showing up in that country, m’kay? I’m getting paid. Paid well for when I do win. Remember that, Ty, before you decide to start letting your very own roster be nothing more than a little attraction for whoever’s going to be watching. Damn, I’m good!
(Ashley Flores shouts, as she turns around and brushes away from Hurricane Hawk. Hawk sighs, as Ashley had practically gone against his own word and went out of her way to simply dispute his proposal, whilst disrespecting him in the process. He’s not all too affected by it, as it rolls off his back like a duck, brushing it off; it’s not that big of a deal. Whilst he begins to think about her offer, Hurricane Hawk turns the opposite way as he too walks out of shot. The camera fades elsewhere, as Showdown’s broadcast continues in another room.)
( ‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake hits to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Limmy Monaghan and Walter Bivens arrive at the scene with determination. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.. PLEASE WELCOME YOUR GUEST COMMENTATOR OF THE EVENING—THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, LIMMMMYYYY MONAGHANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Deadprez: Limmy Monaghan was announced to be the guest in-house commentator for tonight’s main event and I am sure that this is a great opportunity for the next challenger to scout the EAW Answers World Champion at work.
Eve: Tensions have been steadily rising between the champion and challenger and who knows what will happen tonight. With Limmy Monaghan and Veena Adams planned to be present at ringside, it is absolutely necessary for Kassidy Heart to be extremely cautious into every single one of her movements throughout this contest.
( “Survivor’s Guilt” by Dave echoes throughout the Amway Center with an immediate negative reaction from the audience in attendance. Charlie Marr and Veena Adams briskly approach the entranceway, always donning their shit-eating grins as they stand on the stage and scan the atmosphere before moseying their way down the aisle and into the squared circle. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY VEENA ADAMS; FROM TOWER HAMLETS, LONDON, WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS—HE IS THE MAN OF ALWAYS, CHARRRLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
‘
Deadprez: The scene that is currently building right now is going to be comprehensive with people that have been caught in the crossfire of heating tensions. Charlie Marr and Veena Adams made their presence known on Friday Night Dynasty by landing right into the crosshairs of TLA and Cameron Ella Ava. Ad Infinitum has always been a controversial duo and their crave to destroy two former world champions is what they deem as necessary for that tag team to be the future of this company.
Eve: Charlie Marr and Veena Adams have definitely made a humongous splash here on Saturday nights and when you couldn’t think that it couldn’t get any more intense, these two always manage to find a way to take the tensions up a notch. These two stuck their heads into the tag team match that Cameron and TLA were involved in, so you know that next week, those two individuals will be waiting to get their hands on them after what happened.
Limmy Monaghan: Charlie Marr was a formidable opponent on Friday Night Dynasty and I expect him to give the world champion hell tonight. As long as he softens Kassidy Heart up and leaves her in a heap of defeat; then it is all good for m- Gavin, what in the fuck are you doing right now?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, sorry. I ran out of lotion when Cameron Ella Ava was wrestling earlier and I am improvising with Veena Adams out here. I will stop for now.
( While Ad Infinitum impatiently anticipates the arrival of their opponent in their designated corner, the silence is filled with the beginning of “Monster” by Kanye West. The audience responds with a gigantic pop reaction with mixed emotions as Kassidy Heart appears with her EAW Answers World Championship around her waist. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT!! FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, WEIGHING AT 138.5 POUNDS… SHE IS THE CURRENT EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… “THE MAULER”, KASSSSSIDYYYYYYYYYYYY HEARRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Gavin Kirkland: OH DEAR.. How in the world did I just go from hard to soft hearing that music just now?
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart continues to be on a reign of terror where she recently injured Walter Bivens two weeks ago. Limmy Monaghan, any notes on that?
Limmy Monaghan: What do you want me to say about that? Of course, I am pissed off about what he did to my innocent colleague and she got what she deserved in the following moments after that. Do you remember what happened?
Eve: I believe we all do. I don’t think Kassidy Heart has been subject to such a beating since she was involved with Jamie O’Hara in Los Angeles. You pummelled Kassidy Heart in broad daylight, but knowing her, she won’t let that happen ever again and if you even try to repeat history; Kassidy Heart is a cerebral assassin and she has always been one step ahead of her adversaries.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: Our main event is underway as Charlie Marr and Kassidy Heart promptly engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Charlie Marr muscles the world champion into the corner turnbuckle. Kass reverses it with Marr having his back against the corner, but Charlie gets it back and presses up against her before IRISH WHIPPING HER INTO THE ROPES!! Kassidy Heart turns it around and Charlie Marr gets sent into the corner turnbuckles. He stops himself in the nick of time, but HERE COMES KASSIDY HEART!! KASSIDY HEART WITH A FOREARM SMASH—MARR BLOCKS IT, KICKS THE MIDSECTION, AND GOES FOR A DDT!! KASSIDY REFUSES TO LET IT HAPPEN AS SHE HOISTS HER UP INTO THE AIR!! AND MARR SLIDES OVER HER SHOULDERS AND TRIES TO PIN HER DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP!!
Eve: KASSIDY UTILIZES THE MOMENTUM TO ROLL UP ONTO HER FEET OFF THE SUNSET!! SHE GOES FOR A KICK—MARR GRABS HER FOOT AND SWEEPS THE OTHER LEG!! MARR WITH A LATERAL PRESS, BUT IT IS IN VAIN AS KASSIDY IMMEDIATELY PUSHES HIM OFF HER SHOULDERS!! Both elitists emerge to their feet and charge into each other. Kassidy runs past him and comes off the ropes! Marr forces her to change direction as he also comes off the ropes! AND MARR IMMEDIATELY FLOORS THE WORLD CHAMPION WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK, BUT KASSIDY HEART IMMEDIATELY KIPS-UP TO HER FEET AND MARR GOES FOR SECONDS! MARR COMES OFF THE ROPES FOR ANOTHER SHOULDER BLOCK!!
Limmy Monaghan: AND KASSIDY HEART WITH A NASTY KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!! Kassidy grabs his hand and IRISH WHIPS HIM!!! CHARLIE TURNS IT AROUND AND TWISTS HER INTO THAT REAR NAKED CHOKE!! THE CHAMP MIGHT JUST PASS OUT HERE!!
Deadprez: NO!! AS CHARLIE MARR PULLED HER DOWN, KASSIDY ROLLS OVER AND GOT UP ONTO HER FEET OFF HIS SHOULDERS!! CHARLIE TURNS HIS HEAD AROUND TO SEE KASSIDY HEART JUMPING INTO THE AIR FOR A HURRICANRANA!! CHARLIE JUMPS OUT OF THE WAY AND KASSIDY GOES CRASHING DOWN ONTO HER BACK!! USUALLY PEOPLE CATCH THE PERSON GOING FOR THE HURRICANRANA, BUT CHARLIE MARR IS BUILT DIFFERENT!! MARR COMES OFF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE!! KASSIDY HEART BLOCKS IT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE!! KASSIDY HEART RUNS PAST HIM AND FLIPS HIM OVER WITH A HURRICANRANA!! IS IT SECOND TIMES THE CHARM!??!
Gavin Kirkland: YES IT IS!! Beardman reels into the corner turnbuckles and here comes Mediocre Heart to apply more of that pressure! The referee needs to get in between them as Kassidy Heart is just peppering away at Charlie Marr with roundhouse kicks to the chest. Heart gets a handful of his wrist and IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!! MARR COLLIDES INTO THE CORNER—THE IMPACT WASN’T ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM OFF HIS FEET HOWEVER—BUT KASSIDY LOOKS TO COMPLETELY FLOOR HIM AS SHE SOARS INTO THE AIR FOR A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH!! CHARLIE CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR AND TRIES TO SUPLEX HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, BUT KASSIDY HEART WITH ELBOWS TO THE NECK THAT STOPS HIM FROM DOING SO!
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart stumbles out of the corner into the center of the ring as she looks up to the sight of CHARLIE SPRINTING TOWARDS HER!! CHARLIE GOES FOR A BIG BOOT!! KASSIDY SIDE STEPS IT AND CONNECTS WITH A SIDE THRUST KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! MARR IS DOWN ON BOTH KNEES AS KASSIDY HEART NOW REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!!! AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A SHINING WIZARD AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD!!! KASSIDY WITH THAT PRECISION KNEE STRIKE AS SHE HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THIS MATCH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWO-
Eve: KICK-OUT!! Kassidy Heart immediately places Marr into a grounded rear headlock as we are seeing the flow and pace of this main event decelerate with it. It has been a rapid-fire start to this match and Kassidy Heart brings what she does best and that is the technical aspect. Many people discount the influence that these types of chokeholds have on our elitists’ performances as it is instrumental in wearing down the opponents and that is what the EAW Answers World Champion is doing here. Charlie Marr has a reputation for being an extremely volatile and rapid-fire performer inside that squared circle and Kassidy Heart knows that is something she needs to watch out for.
Gavin Kirkland: Luckily, Charlie Marr is starting to show some indications of resistance as he starts to fight out of the chokehold. Kassidy Heart continues to apply that pressure, but Marr is about to put a cap on it as he starts fisting her! Charlie Marr with punches to the midsection and Kassidy momentarily releases it to stuff him with a kitchen sink knee strike! KASSIDY MISSES IT AS MARR SNATCHES HER FROM THE SIDE AND HOISTS HER UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX!! KASSIDY FLIPS OVER HIS SHOULDERS, SWEEPS HIS LEGS, AND RAINS DOWN ONTO HIS FACE WITH A JUMPING FIST DROP!! KASSIDY HEART PUTS HIM BACK INTO THE HEADLOCK AS WE QUICKLY RETURN TO THE SITUATION FROM MOMENTS AGO!
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart remains to have his opponent grounded on the canvas here. Veena Adams encourages Charlie Marr from outside the ring as it seems to be working. Marr begins to muscle his way out of this headlock and directs the point of his elbow into the midsection of Kassidy! It begins to work, but KASSIDY LETS GO AND REPEATEDLY DRIVES HER ELBOW DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!! ONE!! TWO!! THREE!! FOUR!! FIVE!!! AND SHE FINISHES IT OFF WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE MIDSECTION!! IT ONLY SENDS CHARLIE MARR DOWN ONTO ONE KNEE AS KASSIDY USES THIS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM A RUNNING ATTACK!!! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES!! KASSIDY SPRINGS FORWARD WITH A HIGH KNEE!! BUT MARR CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR!! AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A FRONT POWERSLAM!! KASSIDY USUALLY HITS THAT HIGH KNEE AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP. MARR HAD OTHER PLANS AS HE FOLLOWS UP THE POWERSLAM WITH A SLINGSHOT ELBOW DROP!! HE PLANTS THE ELBOW ACROSS THE CHEST AS HE HOOKS THE LEG!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: KICK-OUT!! It is now his turn to weaken Kassidy Heart as he puts her into a headlock of his own. Veena Adams seems content with the situation that her tag team partner has found himself in. Charlie Marr buries his knee in between her collar and transitions from the rear chinlock from stretching her arms backwards. Kassidy starts to muscle out of the hold as we see her trying to rotate her hips towards Marr to get out of it! She changes her mind and flips forward! This gets her out of the hold as she GRABS MARR’S LEG AND GOES FOR THE HEEL HOOK!! SHE TRIES TO DRAG HER DOWN INTO THAT LEG SUBMISSION, BUT MARR GRABS HER LEGS AND JUMPS OVER!! A BACK-TO-BELLY PIN!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWO!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DAMNIT!! SHE IS ABLE TO ESCAPE OUT OF AS SHE BRIDGES OUT OF IT!! SHE TRIES TO GET MARR DOWN WITH THE BACKSLIDE PIN, BUT CHARLES IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO OVERPOWER THE WORLD CHAMPION!!! MARR USES ALL OF HIS MIGHT TO FLIP KASSIDY OVER HIS SHOULDERS!! KASSIDY USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL HIM IN AND LIFT HIM UP FOR A POWERBOMB!! CHARLIE SLIDES OFF HER SHOULDERS AND TUGS ON HER ARM!! AND KASSIDY GOES CRASHING TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING VIA AN ARM DRAG!! AN UNIQUE APPROACH TO COUNTERING THE POWERBOMB AS MARR CHARGES INTO KASSIDY AT THE CORNER!
Limmy Monaghan: CHARLIE MARR LEAPS INTO THE AIR!! AND NOBODY IS HOME AS HE GOES FACE-FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! AND KASSIDY HOOKS BOTH OF HIS ARMS!! AND DRILLS HIM DOWN WITH THAT BRIDGED DRAGON SUPLEX!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: MARR POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT TWO!! He gradually gets up to his feet as Kassidy Heart is waiting for him to get up! KASSIDY CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! HE THEN GRABS HIM BY THE HAND AND PULLS HIM IN!! AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE!! AND THEN MOVES AROUND, HOOKS HER LEG AROUND HIS AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!! Kassidy Heart with super agile offense here as she rolls onto her feet off the Russian leg sweep and looks to go high-risk. She steps through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles and is signalling for a moonsault!
Deadprez: Veena Adams jumps onto the apron and catches Kassidy Heart’s attention! The referee is barking instructions at her and demanding her to get off the apron as MARR USES THIS OPPORTUNITY!! AND HE PUSHES KASSIDY HEART OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! KASSIDY HEART GOES FLYING INTO THE SKIES AND LANDS FACE-FIRST ONTO THE TOP OF THE BARRICADE!! THAT DEFINITELY DID A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE TO THE WORLD CHAMPION AS CHARLIE MARR HAS CHANGED THE COMPLEXION OF THIS MATCH WITHIN THE SNAP OF A FINGER JUST LIKE THAT!
Eve: Orlando certainly isn’t happy with what they are seeing with Veena Adams sticking her nose into this match. Ad Infinitum has been known to bend and twist the rules to their advantage throughout their tenure and that aspect about that powerful duo was just in play a few seconds ago. Kassidy Heart has yet to gain complete consciousness after that ugly collision into the barricade and Charlie Marr looks to collect the scrap as he turns Kassidy Heart on the outside floor! AND HE LANDS A RIGHT ONTO THE JAW OF KASSIDY!!! KASSIDY STUMBLES AROUND RINGSIDE AS CHARLIE GETS A HOLD OF HER AGAIN!! AND STUFFS HIS FOOT INTO HEART’S MUSHER WITH A PRECISION YAKUZA KICK!! KASSIDY GOES DOWN AS CHARLIE MARR CONTINUES TO SOAK IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THIS MAIN EVENT!
Limmy Monaghan: Things definitely aren’t looking good for Kassidy Heart as of this moment. The Veena Adams factor is beginning to play a huge factor into this match and the world champion has to find a way to counter the number game.
Gavin Kirkland: You are absolutely correct, Lime-man. However, Kassidy Heart is a literal dumbass and I don’t see her getting out of this situation. Charlie Marr briefly rolls in and out of the squared circle to stop the referee from that ringside count and goes back to applying the assault onto the world champion. Marr grabs Kassidy Heart by the tights! NO!! KASSIDY WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE!!! AND ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!! AND SHE JUMPS UP FOR ANOTHER HUGE FOREARM!! COME ON, MARR—DON’T LET HER GET THE UPPER HAND IN THIS MATCH—YOU GOT THIS!! KASSIDY NOW HOISTS MARR UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!! BUT MARR SLIPS OFF HER SHOULDER AND PUSHES HER INTO THE RINGPOST!! PLASTIC MEETS THE LED BOARD OF THE RINGPOST BEFORE THE MAN OF ALWAYS GRABS HER FROM BEHIND!! AND DEPOSITS THE WORLD CHAMPION ONTO THE STEEL STEPS WITH A BACK SUPLEX!! MY GOD!
Eve: DID YOU SEE THE WAY KASSIDY’S BACK WENT BOUNCING OFF THE EDGE OF THAT UNFORGIVING STEEL!?!! MARR HAS GOTTEN THE UPPER HAND IN THIS MATCH THUS FAR AS HE BRINGS THE WORLD CHAMPION BACK INTO THE RING AND BEGINS TO CLIMB THE TURNBUCKLES!! CHARLIE MARR IS LOOKING TO FINISH IT AS HE SIGNALS FOR HIS FLYING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! IF HE CONNECTS WITH DEATH OR GLORY, THEN THAT WILL DO A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE WORLD CHAMPION!! BUT HERE COMES KASSIDY HEART AS SHE JUMPS OFF THE GROUND AND JOINS MARR ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH HIM!
Deadprez: MARR IS STUNNED AS KASSIDY REPEATEDLY UNVEILS THE PALM OF HER HAND ONTO HIS CHEST!! OPEN HAND CHOPS REPEATEDLY TO CHARLIE MARR BEFORE KASSIDY BEGINS TO NAIL HIM WITH FOREARM SMASHES TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! CHARLIE FINALLY GETS SOME SPACE AND RETALIATES WITH A SIGNATURE HEADBUTT!! BUT KASSIDY SPRINGS BACK AND CLOCKS HIM WITH A HEADBUTT OF HER OWN!!! BOTH INDIVIDUALS IN AN EXTREMELY PRECARIOUS POSITION!! Kassidy Heart with dangerous intentions in mind as she moves around the ropes!! SHE GRABS HIM FROM BY THE SIDE!! AND FLIPS BACKWARDS!! SHE CALLS THIS BRIGHTON FLY!!
Eve: CHARLIE MARR CLINGS ONTO THE ROPES AND KASSIDY HEART GOES CRASHING UNPROTECTED ONTO THE CANVAS!! This was the same move that won her the EAW Answers World Championship and it was in vain tonight against Charlie! Kassidy gingerly winds up to her feet while Marr walks the ropes. What is he thinking here? HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF AND TURNS THE WORLD CHAMPION INSIDE OUT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! A UNIQUE VARIATION OF DEATH OR GLORY AS THAT DEFINITELY CONNECTED!! CHARLIE CRAWLS OVER FOR THIS COVER AS THIS MAY BE THE END OF KASSIDY HEART!! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Gavin Kirkland: GOD DAMN!! THE WHORE GETS HER SHOULDER UP AT TWO!! Charlie is starting to get a bit aggravated, but he calms himself down and emerges in the corner. He uses the ropes to get himself up onto both feet while Kassidy Heart is recuperating in the center after that devastating Death Or Glory. Charlie Marr with a shit-eating grin on his face as he appears to be wanting to finish this now! AND THAT IS WHAT HE COULD BE DOING!! KASSIDY GETS UP AND MARR SPRINTS TOWARDS HER!! MARR ROTATES AROUND LIKE A DISCUS!! AND SWINGS HIS ARM FOR THAT LARIAT!! BUT KASSIDY GRABS HIS ARM IN MID-AIR, MOVES AROUND HIS BACK, AND DRILLS HIM DOWN WITH A CRUCIFIX DRIVER!!!! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Limmy Monaghan: KICK-OUT!! THAT WAS CLOSE!!
Deadprez: IT WAS INDEED A NEARFALL AS CHARLIE MARR WAS STUNNED BY THAT COUNTER!! MARR HAS NO IDEA WHAT HIS SURROUNDINGS ARE AS KASSIDY IS CROUCHING IN THE CORNER READY TO POUNCE!! SHE DASHES THROUGH THE RING AND GETS THE FRONT HEADSCISSORS!! AND ATTEMPTS TO SPIKE MARR WITH NORVINA LIGHTS. MARR BLOCKS IT AS HE HELD ONTO KASSIDY!! HE HOISTS KASSIDY UP INTO THE AIR!! AND SLAMS HER DOWN INTO A FALLING POWERBOMB!! CHARLIE MARR ISN’T ABLE TO GET THE COVER AS KASSIDY INSTINCTIVELY ROLLED OUT OF THE RING IN THE NICK OF TIME!! KASSIDY RECUPERATES AT RINGSIDE AS CHARLIE MARR HAS NO INTENTIONS ON LETTING HER RECOVER!!
Limmy Monaghan: CHARLIE MARR RUNS THE ROPES!! AND HE SOARS THROUGH THE SKIES WITH A TOPE SUICIDA EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! ANOTHER INTERESTING VERSION OF HIS UPPERCUT AS HE BRINGS HER BACK INTO THE RING!! MARR WITH THAT LATERAL PRESS!! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TH-
Eve: ANOTHER KICK-OUT!!! CHARLIE MARR ALMOST GOT HER THERE AS HE SEEMINGLY IS IMPATIENT NOW!! MARR PULLS KASSIDY UP TO HER FEET!! HE HOOKS BOTH ARMS!! AND TRIES TO HIT THAT DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD AND THE KING OF ELITE MIGHT BE NOW!! MARR GOES FOR IT!! BUT KASSIDY LIFTS HIM UP AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A RELEASE ALABAMA SLAM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! OH MY GOD!! MARR SLAMS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ONTO THAT TURNBUCKLE AS KASSIDY PULLS HIM UP!! AND SHE RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND BACK!! SHE IS GOING FOR THE BIG BOOT IN THE CORNER!!
Deadprez: IT IS COUNTERED WITH A DROPKICK!! CHARLIE MARR AIMS RIGHT ON THE MUSHER WITH THAT PRECISION HIGH RISK DROPKICK AS HE IS IN THAT READY POSITION!! MARR IS CROUCHED IN A PREPARED STANCE AS KASSIDY HEART GETS UP TO HER FEET AND TURNS AROUND!! MARR SNATCHES HER AND HOISTS HER UP INTO THE AIR!! AND SLAMS THE WORLD CHAMPION WITH THE SPINEBUSTE-
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART SOMEHOW COUNTERS THE SPINEBUSTER INTO A GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE DO THAT!?!?
Limmy Monaghan: AS CHARLIE LIFTED HER UP FOR THAT SPINEBUSTER, KASSIDY WRAPPED HER LEFT ARM AROUND HIS HEAD AND APPLIED THAT PRESSURE MID-AIR—FUNDAMENTALLY STOPPING HIM FROM GOING THROUGH WITH THAT SPINEBUSTER!! INTERESTING COUNTER THERE!
Eve: THIS MATCH HAS HAD A COUPLE OF EXTRAORDINARY COUNTERS HERE AND THERE AND THAT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM!! KASSIDY HEART WITH THAT PRESSURE APPLIED AS SHE PULLS DEEPER ON HIS NECK FOR THAT GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD!! CHARLIE MARR WAVING HIS FINGER AROUND INDICATING THAT HE HAS NO INTENTIONS ON LETTING ALL OF HIS WINNING CHANCES EVAPORATE HERE AS HE GRABS ON HEART’S TIGHTS AND DEADLIFTS HER UP INTO A SUPLEX!! BUT KASSIDY COUNTERS IT IN MID-AIR AND DRILLS HIM DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A SPIKING DDT!! HERE WE GO!! KASSIDY ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THR-
Limmy Monaghan: HE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! THAT WAS ALMOST IT!
Eve: Kassidy Heart keeps moving forward as she knows not to let emotions get in between herself and victory. She steps through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles. Last time she was at the destination point, Veena Adams interrupted her, but she was not near her at all! Kassidy is looking to finish this with whatever she has in mind. BUT, HERE COMES CHARLIE AND HE JUMPS ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND BEGINS TO HEADBUTT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THE WORLD CHAMPION!! CHARLIE WITH HEADBUTTS AFTER HEADBUTTS AS HE IS OVERPOWERING KASSIDY HEART ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HERE IS KASSIDY HEART AS SHE BEGINS TO RESPOND WITH FOREARM SMASHES OF HER OWN!! FOREARM SMASH AFTER ANOTHER, BUT CHARLIE IMMEDIATELY RETALIATES BY PUNCHING DOWN ONTO HER FACE!! KASSIDY GRABS HIS HAND AND BEGINS TO BITE DOWN ONTO IT!! CHARLIE SCREAMS IN PAIN AS KASSIDY HAS GOTTEN THE UPPER HAND HERE!! I BELIEVE SHE IS GOING TO GO FOR HER PATENTED SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB-
Deadprez: CHARLIE MARR BURIES HIS FINGERS INTO THE EYE SOCKETS OF THE WORLD CHAMPION!! KASSIDY HEART’S VISION IS TEMPORARILY BLINDED HERE AS SHE CAN’T SEE A THING AFTER THAT HEINOUS MANIPULATION OF THE RULES!! THE REFEREE WARNING MARR NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT HOLDS ANY RELEVANCE TO THE MAN OF ALWAYS!! MARR GRABS HER TIGHTS, HOISTS HER UP INTO A SUPLEX!! AND THIS IS ABOUT TO GET REALLY PAINFUL!! MARR GOES FOR THAT SUPERPLEX!
Eve: KASSIDY HEART COUNTERS THE SUPERPLEX WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!! HELLOFRESH CONNECTS AND IT LAUNCHES CHARLIE MARR FORWARD THREE-THIRDS ACROSS THE RING!! WHEN MARR HAD KASSIDY UP IN THE AIR FOR THE SUPERPLEX, KASSIDY MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND DRAG HIM DOWN WITH HER WITH THAT SENSATIONAL SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB COUNTER!! THE ENTIRE VENUE HERE IS ASTOUNDED BY THAT COUNTER AS KASSIDY ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER YET!
Limmy Monaghan: THAT WAS BRUTAL!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE CORNER!! AND SEND MARR ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH NORVINA LIGHT!!! THE SPIKED HURRICANRANA CONNECTS AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!! THIS IS IT!! IT HAS TO BE!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: KICK-OUT!! KASSIDY HEART IS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE CONTINUES TO APPLY GAS ON THE PEDAL!! SHE KEEPS PEDALLING FORWARD AS VEENA ADAMS IS YELLING AT CHARLIE MARR TO WATCH FROM BEHIND HER!! KASSIDY IS SEETHING IN THE CORNER, READY TO DECIMATE HER OPPONENT AS SHE CHARGES INTO MARR!! KASSIDY LEAPS INTO THE AIR!! AND SPLITS CHARLIE MARR INTO TWO-HALVES WITH THE INFAMOUS SPEA-
Gavin Kirkland: THE QUEEN IS DEAD!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD!! KASSIDY CHARGES IN RIGHT INTO THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!! CHARLIE MARR GRABBED BOTH OF HER ARMS IN MID-AIR AS SHE WAS UP FOR THE SPEAR AND HE WAS ABLE TO DRILL HER AS SHE CAME DOWN WITH THE QUEEN IS DEAD!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!! MARR SLOWLY ROLLS HER OVER FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Eve: KICK-OUT!!! CHARLIE MARR CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! BOTH INDIVIDUALS GRADUALLY GET UP TO THEIR FEET AS MARR JUST SLAPS KASSIDY’S FACE IN FRUSTRATION!! HE GRABS HER JAW AND REPEATEDLY UNLEASHES ONTO HER WITH OPEN HAND CHOPS RIGHT TO THE FACE!! CHARLIE PULLS HIS SHOULDER PAD OFF HIS ARMS AND THROWS IT AT HER FACE!! AND THEN GOES FOR THE CHARING CROSS! BUT KASSIDY GRABS HIS ARM IN ROLLS HIM UP INTO THE ARMBAR!! GAWD’S GIFT IS CINCHED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Limmy Monaghan: NO!!! NOT THAT MOVE!! SHE IS GOING TO BREAK YOUR ARM!!
Deadprez: THIS IS THE SUBMISSION HOLD THAT WON HER MANY MAJOR MATCHES HERE IN ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING AND IT IS ESPECIALLY WHAT BROKE WALTER BIVENS’ ARM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO!!
Limmy Monaghan: DON’T EVER SPEAK OF THAT TRAGEDY, DEADPREZ!
Eve: BUT CHARLIE MARR CAME PREPARED!! MARR HAS THE MONKEY GRIP CLENCHED IN AS HE IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!! MARR KNOWS THAT ONCE THAT MONKEY GRIP IS BROKEN APART, IT IS GAME OVER FOR HIM AND POSSIBLY FOR HIS LEFT ARM!! KASSIDY IS TRYING HER BEST TO RELINQUISH THAT MONKEY GRIP, BUT IT IS TO NO AVAIL!! SHE BEGINS TO KICK ON HIS ARM WITH HER FREE LEG AND IT IS STARTING TO WORK!! THE MONKEY GRIP IS STARTING TO WEAR OFF!!
Gavin Kirkland: CHARLIE MARR MANAGES TO ROLL OVER AND PIN KASSIDY’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE CANVAS!! YES!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: KASSIDY POWERS OUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE AND IT LEADS TO HER BEING PLUCKED OFF THE CANVAS AND INTO THE AIR!! CHARLIE MARR HAS HER UP IN THE POWERBOMB, BUT KASSIDY TURNS IT INTO THE ARM TRIANGLE IN MID-AIR!! WHAT IS CHARLIE MARR GOING TO DO HERE!??! HE KNOWS THAT IF HE DROPS HER ONTO HER BACK, KASSIDY WILL PUT HIM BACK INTO THE SUBMISSION HOLD SO IT IS UTTERLY FUTILE AT THIS POINT AND TIME!! CHARLIE BEGINS TO WAVE HIS HANDS AROUND IN ANXIETY AND BRINGS KASSIDY CLOSE TO THE ROPES!!!
Eve: CHARLIE MARR IS RIGHT THERE!! HIS RIGHT HAND IS NEXT TO THE ROPES, BUT HE ISN’T LOOKING TO MAKE A ROPE BREAK.. KASSIDY HEART PUTS MORE PRESSURE ON THAT ARM TRIANGLE, BUT MARR BRINGS HER TO A SPOT WHERE HER HEAD IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE THIRD ROPE!! AND MARR PULLS HER UP!! AND KASSIDY’S HEAD BUCKLES AGAINST THE TOP ROPE!! KASSIDY’S NECK SNAPS ACROSS THE ROPES AS THAT SUCCESSFULLY BREAKS THE ARM TRIANGLE!! CHARLIE MARR WITH A HIGH DESPERATION MOVE AS IT WORKS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Charlie Marr definitely avoided a broken arm just now! You could see Walter Bivens here at ringside getting some type of flashback or PTSD from seeing Kassidy Heart applying the arm bar onto Marr. That atrocious arm bar has broken the arms of many innocent human beings, including Walter Bivens, and Kassidy Heart just outright tried to end a man’s career for no reason behind that intent!
Limmy Monaghan: You are damn right for once, Gavin! Kassidy Heart left Walter Bivens with a broken rotator cuff for what? FOR WHAT, EXACTLY? Walter Bivens is an innocent human being and if that is what Kassidy Heart does to people who did nothing to deserve such life-threatening alterations, then she doesn’t deserve to be the champion. She doesn’t deserve to be the King, and that is where the true Monarch of Elite Answers Wrestling comes in.
Deadprez: You got a huge championship opportunity ahead of you at Territorial: Invasion and Charlie Marr might be all over you if he is able to finish off the EAW Answers World Champion right in front of your very eyes. This is a victory that will definitely put his career on track as he now grabs Kassidy Heart. Kassidy Heart is caught up in the ropes as Charlie Marr grabs her head! Charlie has her head wrapped around his arm as he signals for it! THE APRON HUNG DDT!!! HERE IT I-
( The crowd pops as TLA and Cameron Ella Ava come sprinting down towards the ramp before stopping at ringside. )
Eve: TLA AND CAMERON ELLA AVA ARE HERE; MORE THAN LIKELY TO AVENGE WHAT TRANSPIRED IN THEIR TAG TEAM MATCH EARLIER IN THE SHOW!! Charlie Marr lets go of Kassidy Heart as Veena Adams walks in front to confront them! He pulls himself out of the ring and Ad Infinitum goes face-to-face with the two individuals that they screwed over earlier! AND THEY START TOSSING AWAY AT STRIKES!! THIS MATCH IS THROWN OUT AS TLA AND CAMERON ELLA AVA GET THEIR REVENGE FROM EARLIER!!
Limmy Monaghan: You have got to be kidding me! IT WAS ABOUT TO GET GOOD, DAMNIT!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: AD INFINITUM AND TLA AND CAMERON ELLA AVA EXCHANGE A VARIETY OF STRIKES AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY UP THE RAMP. MARR THROWS FIST WITH TLA WHILE CAMERON ELLA AVA GOES POUND-FOR-POUND WITH VEENA ADAMS!! THERE IS NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THESE TWO DUOS AND IT IS EVIDENT AS THERE IS A LOT OF BLOOD BOILING AND TENSIONS RISING BETWEEN BOTH PARTIES!! CAMERON AND TLA TRIED TO GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE, BUT AD INFITIUM DIDN’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AND TOOK IT TO THEM, COMPLETELY DISREGARDING THE TASK THAT WAS AT HAND.
Limmy Monaghan: Hold my cup, Gavin. I will be right back.
Gavin Kirkland: Where do you think you are going, Limmy!??! Limmy Monaghan seems to be wanting to get out of this situation as he leaves our booth! This has been pandemonium here in the main event as we don’t see a clear result to tonight’s match between Kassidy Heart and Charlie Marr. It seems like Charlie Marr was on the brink of victory, but Cameron Ella Ava and TLA decided to retaliate tonight after Ad Infinitum stuck their noses into their businesses earlier in the nigh-
Eve: LIMMY MONAGHAN SLIDES INTO THE RING AND GOES RIGHT FOR THE MONEY MAKER!! BUT KASSIDY HEART SEES IT COMING AND BOTH INDIVIDUALS COLLIDE INTO EACH OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!! THE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT REPRESENT THE FUTURE OF THAT EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ARE PEPPERING AWAY AT IT WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS THIS IS IMPLODING EVEN MORE!! LIMMY MONAGHAN ABSOLUTELY DECIMATED KASSIDY HEART WITH HIS DEVASTATING FOREARM BLOWS TO THE HEAD THE LAST TIME THESE TWO MADE IT PHYSICAl AND I AM SURE KASSIDY HEART KNOWS THAT SHE SHOULD NOT LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN!!
Deadprez: WALTER BIVENS WOULD’VE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN THIS, BUT HIS INJURED ROTATOR CUFF IS STOPPING HIM FROM HELPING LIMMY MONAGHAN OUT!!! THAT MAY BE INSTRUMENTAL IN KASSIDY HEART’S CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENCE AS MONAGHAN IS FINALLY ABOUT TO MOUNT ON TOP OF THE WORLD CHAMPION AND DROP HEAVY LEFTS AND RIGHTS TO THE CHAMPION!! BUT KASSIDY IS ABLE TO GET AN UPPER HAND OVER THE CHALLENGER AND THRUST HIM INTO THE CORNER!! HERE COMES A NUMBER OF STAGEHANDS AND SECURITY PERSONNEL RUSHING DOWN THE RAMP TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION!!
Eve: ONE OF THE SECURITY PERSONNEL TRY TO GET AHOLD OF KASSIDY, BUT KASSIDY KNOCKS HIM DOWN WITH A HEADBUTT!! AND KASSIDY HEART IS ABLE TO GROUND A STAGEHAND WITH A HAYMAKER LEFT RIGHT TO THE JAW!!! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS ABLE TO DISPOSE OF A COUPLE OF SECURITY GUARDS BEFORE THEY CONCENTRATE ONTO EACH OTHER AND CHARGE ONCE MORE!!! BUT EVEN MORE SECURITY GUARDS LEAP INTO THE RING TO INTERCEPT THEM AS THEY MET IN THE MIDDLE!!! THEY ARE GONNA NEED THE WHOLE POLICE FORCE TO STOP THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS FROM UNLEASHING THE LIVING HELL ONTO EACH OTHER!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS GETTING DEADLY OUT HERE!! SO MANY PEOPLE!! THIS REMINDS ME OF AN ADULT MOVIE THAT I WATCHED BEFORE I WALKED OVER TO THIS COMMENTARY BOOTH!!
Deadprez: SECURITY PERSONNEL ARE ABLE TO PIN LIMMY MONAGHAN AND KASSIDY HEART INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES OPPOSITE FROM EACH OTHER AS THE LAST SCENE WE SEE HERE ON TONIGHT’S EDITION OF FRIDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN IS ABSOLUTE CHAOS AS WE BUILD UP TO ONE OF THREE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES THAT WE WILL BE TREATED TO IN LOUISIANA!! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS HELL BENT ON GETTING ANOTHER NOTCH ON HIS BELT WHILE KASSIDY HEART IS WILLING TO PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE TO KEEP THAT EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AROUND HER WAIST!!
(The camera remains zeroed in on the chaos unfolding as security try to keep Limmy and Kassidy well and truly apart as the camera fades to black)
(The scene opens with an outer look of Tiger Stadium located at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It transitions to the inside of the stadium, which seats about 100,000 fans. It gets a 360° view of the seating and the massive football field in the middle of the stadium before transitioning to the hallway backstage. The camera stops at the room, which reads “Jeff Boss Locker Room,” which is the same room that the LSU Tigers use on game day. Inside, you get a good look at the locker rooms. Each locker has a jersey on display while the pants, gloves, and shoes are folded in the nicest way possible. It pans to numerous plaques of the wall, which are of each player and the NFL team that they ended up finding themselves drafted to. The further you get into the locker room, you can see a sleep space with lounge chairs where the players can respect after games, practices, and classes. Each of them consists of iPads, in which they can look back on game footage and study them. It’s there where you can see the ‘God Emperor,’ Theron Nikolas looking back at some highlight videos between the opposing teams with a focused look on his face.)
Theron Nikolas: It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that I despise both of my teammates. We are three different men who were brought in by Hurricane Hawk, believing that we would be the team that would bless Showdown with their first victory in a multi-brand type of match like the one that we’re going to be facing at Territorial Invasion. Hawk wants things to be completely different this season and he took a risk by putting me, LC, and Impact on one team, knowing the history that the three of us have with one another. Despite all of that, there’s not a chance that we will lose at Territorial Invasion. Don’t get me wrong, this match isn’t going to bring us together. It’s not going to make us the best of friends because none of this means anything for the future. This means nothing to me, but what it can do for my future. When this is all said and done, the ‘God Emperor’ isn’t going to hesitate in knocking them down if they stand in my way. We’re three men, who are aware of what is in the line going into this match. We know how important it is that we’re all focused on the important task and that’s securing our future. I don’t care for brand unity or for doing this for Showdown because I’m doing this for me. I’m doing this for my legacy and being a step closer to reclaiming MY Answers World Championship.
(Theron Nikolas sits himself up, moving the iPad to the side as he looks at the camera, almost like he’s going to send a message.)
Theron Nikolas: But, that’s the future, that is none of our concern for now. Instead of focusing on what we don’t have in common, how about we focus on what we do have in common. It’s clear as day that me, LC, and Impact have a certain level of dislike that we all share for Hurricane Hawk. For people like Impact and Lethal Consequences, they may have some respect for Hawk left, but can never like a man who thinks that he has any right to hold our ambitions over our heads as a bargaining tool. While smart — I must admit — I think that he is pulling that stunt on the wrong man because he has no clue what he will get himself into. Not only will you get the man, who leads Team Dynasty to victory in War Games in 2019, but you will also get Impact, who when placed on a pedestal and headlining spot like the one at Territorial Invasion, will deliver and rise to the occasion. You have Lethal Consequences who has never been in a position like this at Territorial Invasion, but the unpredictability factor that he possesses is something that should get Dynasty and Voltage shaking in their boots. The three of us are going to walk into Territorial Invasion and make history in victory as men of our caliber are able to do and in the process, they will knee before their ‘God Emperor…’
(The scene pans to the private boxes on top of the Tiger Stadium, which is called the “Tiger Den Suites.” The suites are to offer the most premiere experience that one could possible have while watching an LSU game. The room consists of a small kitchen, a mini-bar, leather couches, and granite countertops which are placed with a shit-ton of delicious food from some of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge. In one of the leather seats, you can spot a nine-time World Champion, Impact accepting some bubbly from one of the waitresses, taking a sip out of it. Impact takes a moment or two to admire the sparkling sensation of his drink, but is aware of the camera in front of his face.)
Impact: Isn’t it funny how fate works? Once again, fate has brought me back to face Drake King and his followers, but I won’t be alone this time around. They won’t only get to deal with me, who isn’t finished with them, but they’ll have to deal with Theron and LC, who will do anything to advance their own careers and if winning at Territorial Invasion is a way to do that, they’ll make sure to do that. I will make sure to do that — not only to progress my own goalsbut to give New Eden a taste of their own medicine and make them realize that those three could never touch someone with my level of expertise and abilities — not as a group and not as individuals. They should be thankful that I’m not on Voltage because I would have shut up those three’s bitching and whining on day one with one backhanded slap for Drake and Myles and two for Minerva. I’ve been here for about a decade. I’ve seen it all and I’ve never seen a group of fragile, entitled motherfuckers, who thinks that the world should cater to their every whim. That’s the issue with these younger Elitists, if no one is kissing their asses or giving them what they want, they proceed to fall apart. If they aren’t being viewed as this indestructible, dominate force, then, their fragile egos are the ones to suffer. The moment that I open my mouth for the first time during Territorial Invasion week, I can almost envision the pathetic, bitter looks on their faces because someone has the gall to tell them what they don’t want to hear.
(Impact forms a smirk on his face, before continuing.)
Impact: A bunch of infantile who have been so used to having things handed to them, but want to cry the moment that things don’t go their way? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. I hope that New Eden has enjoyed their rich vein of moments, being able to stand tall over so many and dominate, even myself. I hope that they relished in their cute, little moment of Pain for Pride, which only the three of them, have fantasized because no one else holds them in a high standard enough to want to see those three succeed. But, I hope that they were about to enjoy their moments because here, in Tiger Stadium, that comes to an end as they will finally taste failure. God, I hope to be the person that shuts them up. I hope to be the one person, who shows the world that New Eden is not the dominant forces that they think they are. If there is something that Team Showdown can get behind, it’s that we don’t want to see New Eden walk out as the winners of this. We don’t want to see them turn Voltage into the shit show that it already is. We don’t want those three to get the better of us at Territorial Invasion. Whether I trust my teammates or not is irrelevant because the very thought of New Eden getting the better of them and winning makes us sick to our stomachs. We refuse to give those three the satisfaction that they got the upper hand on us. Most importantly, I will not let those three escape from my grasp again. I have been thinking about what I would do the next time I see those three and well, they’ll find out soon enough.
(Impact rests back against the leather couch before it transitions to the weight room. In the weight room, you have a good look at the exercise equipment all lined up next to each other. In the main room, it consists of your pull-up/dip machines, chest machines, etc. Anything for the upper part of your body. The room behind it consists of machines that are more meant for the lower part of your body such as treadmills, hamstring curling, and seated leg presses. At one of the sides of the room, it’s the trainer’s room, which they have at a close distance in case any of the players have any sort of injury. Lethal Consequences is shown walking out of it before placing his attention towards some of the workout equipment, finally taking a seat on the seated row machine. He begins to pull up his phone. We can’t see what’s on his phone, but the voices coming out of it, it’s a clip from Dynasty last night.)
Lethal Consequences: Does Dynasty think they have a chance to win? :mjlol: Look, I’ve tried to keep a straight face, but this shit is just hilarious because Dynasty is probably the weakest team out of the three teams taking part in that main event. Don’t believe me? Let me drop a bit of knowledge. First, in the team, you have The Visual Prophet. Now, I’m not sure if it’s the number of times that I’ve been bashed in the head, but I don’t think that I have forgotten that I became World Heavyweight Champion at the expense of The Visual Prophet’s reign. If I can remember, Viz was the first man eliminated from the match. He let MITSUBACHI get further in the Chamber match than him at Road to Redemption. When the pressure was high, he completely blew it, but somehow, StarrStan believes that he’s perfect to be placed in this match? :comeagain: He thinks that Vizzy can take the pressure and not shit the bed? Viz carries himself around like he’s as good as he was around the first year and a half of his career, but I showed him that he’s nowhere near that level when I defeated him again months later to prove to everyone to never sleep on good ole LC. I not only defeated Viz, but I defeated EAW’s latest pet project, Andre Walker, who will go down as another example of the classic ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’ of this world. But, what is going to make this time different? What is Andre and Viz going to do that is going to be different? Even when flanked by two men I barely trust, what makes them think that a victory for Dynasty is possible when LC and Showdown are inevitable?
(Lethal Consequences leaves that question lingering in the air for a moment, before thinking about his next words.)
Lethal Consequences: As for SOSA Henderson, he had his moment in the sun last season and then, when he lost the EAW Championship, he struggled with getting some direction. At Operation: Doomsday, he thought that he was going to figure out his direction by defeating Xander Payne, the same man who took that World Heavyweight Championship from me, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I suppose, he isn’t as good as he thought he was. SOSA can take pride in him always working harder than the guy next to him, but why does it matter, if he doesn’t know where he’s going? What can he do to me that is going to make me intimidated by him? SOSA Henderson doesn’t scare me and he never did. How can I ever be scared of a man like SOSA Henderson? How can I be threatened by a man who is directionless in the wake of defeat? He loses at Territorial Invasion and what’s next for him? What’s next for him after all of those shining lights of the LSU dim down and he’s forced to pick himself up? Does he know where he’s going? I don’t think so.
(The scene cuts to Team Showdown — Theron Nikolas, Impact and Lethal Consequences standing side-by-side as the stadium’s flood lights switch on to reveal a single ring in the center of the Tiger Stadium. The three men are standing in the middle of the ring with smirks on their faces, awaiting to give an announcement that could switch the energy of the entire match at Territorial Invasion.)
Impact: For the past three years, Showdown, Dynasty, and Voltage have found ourselves confined in the steel walls of War Games. While that has gotten fans something to invest about as they should their loyalty to their favorite brands, that is going to change this year as we tear down the walls of War Games and expand on the possibilities that we can do this year. As for this match, there are no rules. This match is no disqualification, falls count anywhere and all the Elitists can fight all over this stadium. We can fight in the locker rooms that Theron was in earlier. We can fight in the weight room that LC was in. We can even fight in the Tiger Den Suites that I was in. These are just three of the many possibilities that can come from this match. This allows for Elitists to be as creative as they please. There’s a possibility that no team members will be in the same room at the same time — which can either benefit or hurt the other teams in this particular match. I was given the thumbs up by the EAW Board of Directors to announce the main event of this year’s Territorial Invasion will be a ‘Stadium Stampede’ match.
(The EAW Universe at the Amway Center is heard cheering for the new stipulation that will headline Territorial Invasion this year.)
Impact: This is what we meant by making history. Theron and I know a thing or two about standing tall in these types of matches, so we are going in with the knowledge about what it takes to win this match rather than being another body to be destroyed. It doesn’t matter if we get along or not because what matters is that we can’t let Dynasty or Voltage get another victory at the expense of bonafide talents like us. At the end of the day, we recognize the talent that we possess and where our strengths and weaknesses lie. We will come into the match more prepared for victory than we ever had before. We know what we must do to make sure that we don’t lose on September 19th. We aren’t going to accept any other results. We aren’t going to accept the possibility of not getting what we rightfully want for competing in this match for Hawk. We will not settle for a loss. We will not allow anyone else to take this victory from us —not Dynasty, not Voltage, but Showdown. No one… BUT Team Showdown!
(With that shade towards New Eden, Team Showdown at Stadium Stampede look at the camera in an intense way, staring down the barrel as the camera dissolves to a drone shot overlooking the entire landscape of Tiger Stadium. Fireworks light up the night sky over the stadium as the camera fades to black)
