(EAW intro plays…)
( RECAP – The “SHOWDOWN” logo sting is lit up on the screen. The show kicks off with the reveal of the stipulations of Kassidy Heart vs. TLA for the EAW Answers World Championship. It will be a two-out-of-three falls match; a wrestling match, an I Quit match, and a Texas Deathmatch. Amir Yusuf defeats Oliver Taylor and Charlie Marr beats Abel Atami to the Showdown King Of Elite quarterfinals. Dr. Bethany Blue defeats Holly Arrow to advance to the 2022 Empress Of Elite semifinals. Pandora Paisley joins forces with Jonny Airhart against the Ice Aces. ARIA gets a surprise victory over Veena Adams. Hurricane Hawk makes Impact vs Theron Nikolas official in a thirty minute ironman match. For the main event, Limmy Monaghan faces Harper Lee in a closely-contested champion vs. champion. Harper Lee attempts to weaponize the EAW Specialists Championship, until ARIA interfered and snatched it away from her. Monaghan uses the distraction to get the victory, only to get bludgeoned by Roberto De La Rosa to close the show.)
( Once the recap ends, it transitions to the live stage with colorful fireworks shooting up and down on the stage. “WE WRESTLE” chants reverberate throughout the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada as “Brick Wall” by A Day To Remember blasts through the speakers. The camera pans throughout various sections of the venue before it focuses it on the announce team with Eve, Deadprez, and Gavin Kirkland standing. )
Deadprez: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME EVERYBODY TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!! WE ARE LIVE HERE IN THE SCOTIABANK ARENA RIGHT HERE IN THE HEART OF THE NORTH, TORONTO, CANADA!! BRINGING YOU ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT OF THE TOP PREMIERE WRESTLING BRAND GOING ON, WE HAVE ANOTHER ACTION-PACKED COLLECTIVE OF HOURS OF TELEVISION PROPPED UP FOR YOU!
Gavin Kirkland: A COUPLE OF MORE WEEKS UNTIL TLA IS NEW CHAMPION!! WOOOO!!!
Eve: The 2022 King Of Elite and Empress Of Elite tournaments are gradually beginning to culminate as we are on the road to the King Of Elite event. Will it be Adam Lucas or Ronan Malosi advancing to the Showdown bracket finals? Will it be Amir Yusuf or Charlie Marr to the finals? What will Limmy Monaghan say after he was bludgeoned by Roberto De La Rosa to close out the last episode? With the unlikely duos of champions and challengers teaming up, will they co-exist? There are plenty of questions to be answered and I have just gotten word that we will delve into the minds of Theron Nikolas and Impact to kick off the show! So, let’s get this on!
(The camera pans to the ring where Hurricane Hawk is standing there with a table and two chairs. With a mic in hand, he addresses the crowd in Toronto, Canada.)
Hurricane Hawk: TORONTO! SHOWDOWN IS HERE!
(The crowd roars in excitement.)
Crowd: EAW!!!! EAW!!! EAW!!!!!
Hurricane Hawk: The EAW loves to visit our neighbors up North and invade other territories! Well tonight we have a huge card set but before we do, for the last month all stemming from the Extreme Elimination Chamber AND even before this when these two men were involved in a Triple Threat for the Answers World Championship, as both Theron Nikolas and Impact have their eyes set on the Answers World Championship and they are ready to climb back on the saddle and challenge at some point in the second half of the season but at King of Elite, these two will face off in a THIRTY MINUTE IRON MAN MATCH! So, at this time I would like to invite both participants to come down and sign the contract. First, may I introduce at this time, a Living Legend and NINE TIME World Champion…. IMPACT!
(“M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd boos. White lights in the arena flicker to radiate so brilliantly it almost temporarily blinds the audience. Epilepsy caution, etc. Impact takes several steps down the ramp with his eyes closed, as if symbolically “turning his back” as he feels people have him, before widening his emotionless eyes and walking into the ring. Impact pays no attention to the crowd.)
Deadprez: And here comes Impact and he knows that this match at King of Elite could be the ticket to a rematch for the Answers World Championship. The question is, can he go thirty minutes with Theron Nikolas?
Eve: He is a legend, one of the greatest wrestlers in this company, he could go an hour with Theron Nikolas to be honest, but the question is how bad does he want it?
Gavin Kirkland: An hour? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now. I’m questioning thirty minutes already.
(Impact makes his way into the ring, standing in front of Hawk, asking for the mic….)
Impact: You always know that we are in Canada…. Eh? When I walk out here, and it smells like Moose shit.
(The crowd peppers Impact in boos….)
Impact: Oi! What a reception, what is that all aboot!?
(The crowd boos even louder as Impact cracks a smirk….)
Impact: Yeah, anyway maybe we can do it A-GAIN. Now Hawk, I’m not here to waste any time, alright? I asked for a match, I didn’t care what kind, I get an Ironman which is fine, I can pin Theron and make him submit 80 times in 30 minutes just to make the point. I didn’t come here to vacation, I came here to sign a contract and make it official, so why don’t you get his ass out here right now so we can get this done!?
(Hurricane Hawk nods….)
Hurricane Hawk: With that said, let me introduce to you at this time… CANADA’S OWN…. THERON NIKOLAS!
(”Stigmata” by Grandson starts to play throughout the arena as the fans cheer at their son of Canada. Theron walks out, with absolutely no emotion, focused on Impact in the ring, slowly walking to the ring. He does look over at some of the fans and acknowledges them, before sliding into the ring. Hurricane Hawk hands him the mic…)
Theron Nikolas: I’ll be straight forward and not sugarcoated anything; I am ready to sign this contract and get it over with. All I need is the pen and….
(Impact though interrupts him as Theron reaches for the folder with the contract in it and the pen.)
Impact: Not so fast jackass. Let’s get one thing straight here before we make this official, the ONLY reason I am not standing here right now as the Answers World Champion is because of YOU. At Reasonable Doubt you tapped out. At Road to Redemption, you cost me the World Championship because you were eliminated. Now? For thirty minutes I get to kick your ass and make you suffer for everything that happened and after I’m done, unlike you, I don’t care if it is Kassidy Heart or TLA, I will BE the Answers World Champion. Just remember one thing, Territorial Invasion was a long time ago. And while we shared the ring together everyone knew that I was the ALPHA MALE on the Showdown brand. Not you, TLA, or anyone else.
(After speaking, Impact stands there glaring at Theron who nods, but extends his hand asking for the mic which Impact gives him…)
Theron Nikolas: At Reasonable Doubt I had a decision to make. Save my career or lose my arm. I made the right choice much as I hate it, but I did what I had to survive. As for the Chamber? The shock of losing gave me what I like to call temporary insanity, because I found myself obsessed with taking the title from Kassidy and forgot what the title itself meant. On the flipside, thinking about it, I would rather have the lesser of two evils as champion and considering you’re an insufferable bastard, maybe in my lapse of judgment, I actually made the right decision. You’re a relic, Impact. There isn’t a single person here that wants to see you get number ten and after King of Elite, no one is going to care about Impact when they witness what I do to you in THIRTY MINUTES.
(The crowd cheers while Impact watches. Theron grabs the pen and signs the contract, shoving it in the chest of Impact who grabs it. He then places the pen on the table, as Impact reaches it….)
Impact: After King of Elite, you’re going to wish that you stayed away.
(Impact signs the contract.)
Hurricane Hawk: And it is official! At King of Elite, Impact will face Theron Nikolas in a 30-Minute Iron-Man Match! Now….
(But as Hurricane Hawk is about to continue speaking, Impact stabs the pen on the chest of Theron Nikolas catching him by surprise…..)
Deadprez: IMPACT JUST STABBED THERON ON THE CHEST WITH THE PEN…. AND… FIST OF FURY! RIGHT ON THE FACE OF THERON AND THAT STUNS HIM, IMPACT PICKING HIM UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AND SLAMMING THERON THROUGH THE TABLE!!!
CRASH!!!!
Eve: IMPACT JUST PUT THERON THROUGH THE TABLE AFTER HE STABBED HIM WITH THE PEN! IMPACT STANDING OVER HIM WITH SUCH A LOOK OF DISGUST, REMEMBERING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW ENCOUNTERS FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Gavin Kirkland: Good he deserved it!
(Hurricane Hawk looks in shock as Theron is barely moving, bleeding from his chest as Impact stands over him, squatting down with mic in hand….)
Impact: That only took me about 30 seconds, wait until it turns into 30 minutes.
(Slamming the mic on the chest of Theron, Impact gets up and glares at Hurricane Hawk…)
Hurricane Hawk: Get out now!
(Impact laughs while the crowd boos. Stepping out of the ring while “M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena. He starts to make his way toward the back as officials run into the ring and check on Theron along with a concerned Hawk looking on. The last scene is Impact smiling before it fades to commercial.)
(The scene fades back from the commercial to show Gina Romano ready to introduce the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS THE OPENING CONTEST OF SHOWDOWN WITH A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS A TRIPLE THREAT SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Gina Romano: Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is “The Tempest”… AURORA MONROE!!!!
(All lights in the arena shut off apart from a single red spotlight atop the stage where in the darkness, nothing but Aurora’s silhouette is visible to the audience. As “Streets” by Doja Cat begins to play, Aurora slowly and seductively wines her waist up until the beat drops. As the beat drops, she freezes and holds her pose at the top of the stage just as the spotlight immediately changes from red to white. Aurora lifts her head proudly, relaxing her seductive pose and flexing her left bicep with a smirk just a moment before she begins her descent down the ramp and to the ring.)
Deadprez: That woman looks like she was chiseled out of rock and came from Mount Olympus! Aurora is intimidating and ready to already impress here tonight!
Eve: Intimidation is right, she looks absolutely stoic and looks to make a huge impact here and fast in the EAW!
Gavin Kirkland: I… I think I’m in love.
(Aurora continues her saunter down the ramp, the white spotlight continuing to follow her. Upon reaching the ring, she hoists herself up onto the apron and hits another pose, showing off her impeccable physique. She enters the ring through the middle rope and positions herself at the center of the ring, flexing both biceps again for the hard camera, licking her lips as a menacing smirk grows across her face as her theme ends and it is replaced by “England Belongs to Me” by Cock Sparrer which plays over the sound system as Oliver Taylor, wearing a black and white wrestling mask with black wrestling boots, wearing body armor and black armor trousers with England flag knee pads attached to him walks out from the curtain as he stands to look at the crowd with a serious look on his face.
Gina Romano: The second competitor! From London, England, weighing in at 265 pounds, he is The English Masked Heavyweight wrestler, Oliver Taylor!
Oliver walks down the ramp before sliding in the ring with a mixed crowd reaction. He goes on the turnbuckle and puts his left arm up. He gets down from the turnbuckle and looks up the ramp, standing in the middle of the ring for the last opponent to come out while keeping his eyes on Aurora.)
Deadprez: Oliver Taylor is always impressive, but he is still searching for his first win in the EAW. Aurora is not impressed, and we are about to see the veteran Lucas Knight, this is definitely a match of clashing styles!
Eve: Power, finesse, and wrestling, but the triple threat is always an interesting dynamic! Anyone can win.
Gavin Kirkland: And we have two debuts, one of them is a man a lot of us know through the wrestling circles, the other a virtual unknown and the last a guy who has been competitive but hasn’t won a match.
(As the theme of Oliver Taylor dies down, out go the lights with a flick of a switch as all eyes focus onto the stage, just then the screen lights up as the opening to “Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play over the P.A system. Then and only then we see a series of words in italic writing phase in and out on the big screen…
.Infamous.
.British.
.Legendary.
Spotlights all start to focus on the stage entrance now changing colors, shades of red, white and blue and during that time a silhouette of a man can be seen walking out onto the stage with an aura of confidence. Just then the final words explode onto the big screen causing the crowd to react accordingly as the music hit’s into full swing…
.LUCAS KNIGHT.
(The crowd’s boos fill the arena as the lights come back on fully to show Lucas Knight standing on the stage looking at the crowd, he wears a full-length military jacket with the union jack emblazoned down one side and a confident smirk on his face)
Gina Romano: And finally, hailing from London, England by way of Santa Monica California… He weighs in tonight at two-hundred and thirty pounds. He is the Alpha King, LUCAS KNIGHT!!
(Just then a video of Lucas’ career plays out on the tron as the music ramps up even more. Then Lucas begins to walk down towards the ring, some loyal fans of his over the years who have followed reach out to touch the British superstar however he doesn’t even acknowledge them. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and smirks to himself once again before leaping onto the apron and stepping through the middle rope and spinning around with his arms outstretched in the center of the ring while the crowd continues to boo.)
(Knight scales the second turnbuckle next and pulls open the jacket to pose to the crowd once more, a grin on his face now while removing the jacket to hang over the ring post. He steps down and waves off the official before testing the ropes to get himself ready for the match ahead of him as the referee checks all three competitors and calls for the start of the match.)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(All three competitors and look at one another before Taylor starts to circle the ring, Knight stands in the corner watching as Aurora with a smile on her face steps in and quickly locks up with Taylor, she throws him off like a rag doll, he stands back up and nods, goes to lock up again but this time he forces her to the corner, Lucas Knight just looks on….)
Deadprez: Oliver Taylor with some stiff rights into the gut of Aurora and he whips her into he ropes, but she quickly reverses, bouncing off the ropes and HUGE BACK BODY DROP ON TAYLOR! TAYLOR IS BACK UP AND AURORA TRYING TO GO FOR A GUERILLA PRESS SLAM ON THE HEAVIER TAYLOR BUT NO! LUCAS KNIGHT CLIPS MONROE FROM BEHIND TAKING HER LEG OUT ALREADY!
Eve: Knight stood back, and he picked his shots! He kicks Monroe in the leg repeatedly over and over until OLIVER TAYLOR WITH A CLOTHESLINE ON KNIGHT! OLIVER NOW PICKING UP THE PIECES, RUNNING AGAINST THE ROPES, ROLLING THUNDER ON AURORA AND A QUICK COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: AURORA LITERALLY JUST THREW TAYLOR OFF HER AND HE WEIGHS 265 POUNDS! HE LOOKS STUNNED AND…. KNIGHT BEHIND TAYLOR! RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS GREAT! THESE THREE ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER ALREADY AND THIS MATCH JUST STARTED! Knight back on his feet and Aurora is back up as well, KNIGHT WITH A HIGH KNEE THAT STUNS AURORA! SHE STUMBLES BACK AND KNIGHT WITH A CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND AURORA LANDS ON THE FLOOR! TAYLOR IS BACK UP RUNNING AT KNIGHT… UNION JACK! THE SICKENING EUROPEN FOREARM THAT HIT WHILE TAYLOR WAS LAUNCHED TO THE AIR AND HE MIGHT BE OUT! I HAVE A MAN CRUSH ON LUCAS KNIGHT ALREADY!
Eve: HE GOES FOR THE COVER!

Deadprez: OLIVER TAYLOR KICKS OUT! BUT LUCAS KNIGHT PICKS HIM UP, WHIPPING TAYLOR INTO THE ROPES, HE CHARGES IN, NO! TAYLOR GETS A BOOT UP… SLING BLADE ON KNIGHT! OLIVER IS BACK UP…. BIG BOOT BY AURORA AS SHE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND ALMOST TOOK OLVER’S HEAD OFF! SHE PICKS UP KNIGHT AND HOISTS HIM UP ON HER SHOULDERS…. SHE IS GOING FOR SNAKE EYES…. NO! KNIGHT WIGGLES AND FALLS BEHIND HER, PUSHING MONROE INTO THE CORNER! SHE HITS HARD AND KNIGHT HOOKS HER FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX, ELBOW BY AURORA AND ANOTHER! KNIGHT LET’S GO AND STUMBLES BACK, AURORA TURNS AND RUNS AT HIM, BELLY TO BELLY BY KNIGHT ON AURORA AND A COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: AURORA KICKS OUT! Knight gets right back up and wraps her leg into a half-crab, turning her over and Knight is showing why he is a veteran! Picking his spots, he wants to get her down and keep Aurora grounded! Knight wrenches back and she screams in pain, Knight is dissecting her but here comes Taylor with a SPINNING HEEL KICK! HE CONNECTS AND KNIGHT FALLS TO THE MATS! OLIVER GRABS KNIGHT AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE TURNS AND GRABS THE LEG OF AURORA AND NOW TAYLOR IS DOING WHAT KNIGHT WAS TRYING TO DO EARLIER! WITH THE HALF CRAB! BUT LOOK AT AURORA! SHE IS POWERING OUT WITH HER ONE LEG AND SHE FLIPS OLIVER TAYLOR OVER!
(The Crowd oohs and cheers, as she slowly gets up, hobbling on one leg, as Oliver turns around and Aurora scoops him up and slams him hard on the mats. Aurora starts to shake her leg some, taking the time as Knight is back up to his feet, she grabs Oliver as he turns…)
Eve: SOLAR FLARE! AND ON ONE LEG! SHE HOLDS HIM UP AND DROPS OLIVER CHEST FIRST ON THE MATS! AURORA GOES FOR THE COV….. NO! LUCAS KNIGHT FROM BEHIND WITH A ROLL UP!

AURORA RUSHES IN AND SHOULDER BLOCK ON BOTH MEN AND NOW LOOK AT HER…. SHE IS TRYING TO LIF THEM BOTH UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY! THAT IS LIKE 500 POUNDS! SHE HAS THEM UP! HER LEG THOUGH IS BUCKLING AND BACK BODY SLAM ON BOTH MEN AND AURORA IS ON FIRE!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Deadprez: This woman is amazing, and she lifted both of these men up and really showed just how powerful she is! Aurora picks Oliver as Lucas has rolled out of the ring, Aurora looks like she is going to finish this! She takes Oliver and throws her into the ropes, Oliver bounces back, she ducks, but Taylor hops over her, comes from behind…. ENGLISH SLAM! TAYLOR HITS THE ENGLISH SLAM AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THE BEAUTIFUL LUSCIOUS CHOCOLATE DESSERT KICKED OUT! Aurora kicks out and Taylor is shocked! He starts pounding her with fists left and right! She is punching her right in the face as I think he has lost his cool and Oliver is back up…. REVERSE IMPLANT DDT BY LUCAS KNIGHT AND OLIVER IS DOWN! LUCAS PICKS HIM BACK UP AND HITS HAIL BRITANNIA!

(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AURORA MONROE!!!!!!
(“Streets” by Doja Cat begins to play as Aurora slowly gets up and raises her hand in victory, smiling as she looks down at Oliver Taylor in disgust, posing.)
Deadprez: SHE JUST STOLE THE PIN FROM LUCAS KNIGHT AND AURORA MONROE WINS HER FIRST MATCH HERE IN THE EAW AGAINST TWO GAME WRESTLERS AND WHAT AN OPENING MATCH!
Eve: It really was! All three competitors came to fight tonight and Lucas Knight hit the UKOD but Aurora came from behind and took the fall and look at Aurora! She is soaking it up!
(Aurora continues to pose, laughing a little while in pain, Oliver Taylor is still down.)
Gavin Kirkland: The Chocolate Amazon did it! Look how beautiful she is! The Perfect Storm! The Tempest! Whatever name you want to name her and…… THE HUSTLE BY LUCAS KNIGHT ON AURORA MONROE AND HE JUST TOOK HER HEAD OFF WITH THAT LARIAT! NOOOO!
Deadprez: LUCAS KNIGHT HAS TAKEN EXCEPTION FOR WHAT AURORA MONROE DID AND NOW BOTH AURORA AND OLIVER TAYLOR ARE LAID OUT AND LOOK AT LUCAS KNIGHT! THE FANS ARE RAINING HIM WITH BOOS!
(Lucas acts like a dog burying its poop and pretends to kick dirt on both competitors as he smirks, fixes his hair and walks out of the ring, the fans continue to boo him as he stands there debonair before continuing to the back, Aurora and Oliver both stirring.)
Eve: Statement made by Lucas Knight here tonight, but we cannot deny that Aurora has shown she will be a force to be reckoned with and with these two new additions, I LOVE THE FUTURE OF THE SHOWDOWN BRAND!
Gavin Kirkland: I need to help her!
(Lucas turns around and smirks, Aurora turns to her side trying to get her vision, glaring back at Lucas seething as he winks and turns to walk away. The scene fades to a commercial break.)
(Slowly, but surely, a momentarily split of darkness fades us back into the broadcast, as we go from commercials, to the show itself. The camera being used is perched outside of a locker room, the name hidden, though it’s obviously a locker room due to a crack in the doorway showing us inside, to which we see an Elitist stretching, alongside what appears to be a white-strapped Championship title, slung across a steel chair. As this Elitist continues to train, footsteps are heard behind the camera, and one by one, they get closer to their destination – with that being the locker room itself. The camera pans up, just to focus on the nametag, with it revealing Harper Lee’s name.)
???: *whew* Alright. Let’s just __pray__ I don’t get attacked or kicked out within minutes. Thaaaaat wouldn’t help my case.
(The Elitist mutters to herself, as she stays stood outside of the door. She isn’t yet in her Wrestling Attire, so it’s unable to identify who it is, that is until the camera pans up to reveal none other than ARIA standing outside of Harper Lee’s door. Usually, this wouldn’t happen. She more than likely would avoid that room given that it’s her King of Elite opponent’s locker room, and simply creating more chaos tham solving the current problems really doesn’t appeal to someone like her. She sighs, before pulling the handle, and walking inside. For a moment, Harper doesn’t seem phased, until she sees ARIA’s face, and *Harper’s* does the opposite of lighting up a room.)
Harper Lee: Ugh. What do you want?
(ARIA walks up to Harper Lee, just a few meters away from her – more than likely to avoid the plausibility of a fight ahead of their main event match, and probably a 20% chance of it being to avoid COVID-19, despite them all being tested.)
ARIA: Not here to cause any trouble, Harps, if that’s okay with you. Unless you’re in a brooding attitude, I’d like to talk.
Harper Lee: I’d like for you to leave. 🙂
ARIA: No.
Harper Lee: :stopitslime:
(ARIA and Harper stare at each other, as tension refuses to break. The only thing stopping ARIA from glancing at Harper is the fact her title stands right next to her, but even then, she remains focused on Harper. They keep this up, until momentarily, ARIA sighs. Harper Lee smirks as she feels victorious in that small encounter.)
Harper Lee: You leaving now?
ARIA: Same answer.
Harper Lee: *sigh.*
ARIA: LISTEN. I’m not here to argue, or get your panties in a twist – not yet at least. I’m here to simply talk. About our match?
(Harper groans.)
Harper Lee: Yeah, I got a good topic for that; don’t mess this up for me, and we’ll win. Got it?
ARIA: That’s not ideal, and you know it. I’m not leaving the dirty work to you.
(ARIA shakes her head.)
ARIA: The problem is, whilst we may not be able to co-exist, I think we should at least TRY to co-operate. I’ve come to the conclusion that the chances are far from in our favor if we just stand here and argue, and by the looks of it, Kassidy Heart and TLA’s pride would be too strong to legitimately let *go* of their hatred. So, for once, let’s not play Ms. Egotistical, and focus on what our chances COULD be. Right now, if we do what we’re doing, and continue to do so; we end up on the losing side because we’re a worse tag team than our opponents. Winning and losing would end up as just another side effect of luck, whether that be on our side or theirs, and honestly, I’m not about to place my whole faith in lady luck. So, I don’t know about you, but I think we should TRY working together! We don’t need to become best buds, we can forget about it, just… at least try? Please?
(Harper Lee shrugs, and rolls her eyes.)
Harper Lee: Listen to me, ARIA, I don’t need some falsified beliefs of “teamwork” to beat people like TLA and Kassidy Heart, and quite frankly, I don’t need you either – yet here you are, and I can’t get rid of you. It’s, like, a terrible situation for someone of my caliber, and someone of my standing, but I’m not going to back down and start doubting myself just because my partner is doing the same thing. I’m just that good. I’m confident in my abilities, and rightfully so. Do you not remember Territorial Invasion? Do you not remember the fact I am literally Captain Harper? It’s not some cheap metaphor for being good, it’s quite literally because I captained this show and almost won – on my own – because of it. So, if I were you, I’d place your chances in me, not this false narrative of teamwork. If Showdown had just listened to ME at Territorial Invasion, we’d have won. And if YOU listen to me? We WILL.
ARIA: I promise you, Harper, it doesn’t need to be like that. I seriously don’t want this to go down the drain because you’re so insistent on driving home the idea that you’re the only person that can get you a victory. You’re not. That’s not the case here. While I’d love to see you take on those two alone, that isn’t my position right now, and I think you should at least commend me on the fact I approached you, put everything aside, and decided the best course of action was to let you do the same thing. So, please Harper. Do that. Don’t let yourself lose ahead of the match because you’re so out of touch with the idea of what a Tag Team actually means, and have been ever since Reckless Wiring. We have the chance to do something better than Territorial Invasion, or just as good, and prove our match is THE match on Showdown’s side of King of Elite. I don’t want you to get selfish and refuse to take responsibility as you have all week. I’m moving on, so should you-
Harper Lee: Do you not get it, ARIA? Is your brain too dull to process anything I’m saying? I don’t NEED you. I don’t WANT you. I don’t need to go down that ramp and worry about what ARIA is doing, saying, thinking, wearing, or anything of the sort, because in the grand scheme of things you have NO say on what is going to happen, and you’re not going to change anything by offering me your simply useless presence on a stick. Are you forgetting who I am? Specialists Champion? That’s not just a fancy nickname and a white strap, ‘Detective’, that’s just showing how good I am. This means, by the end of the night, with or without you – I’m going to beat TLA and Kassidy Heart. Last warning. One more guilt trip and you end up exactly where they are by the end of the match.
(Harper and ARIA stare at each other once more.)
Harper Lee: I could do so much more without you, but I can’t, so I’ll have to put up with you. Does this mean we’re a “team”? No. We don’t need “teamwork” we don’t need to be on the same page. I just need you to be right behind me, following my lead, as it should’ve been from the moment this match was announced- from the moment TERRITORIAL INVASION was announced. You better treat me with respect, before I forget which side you’re on… now, if you would so kindly, leave before I get back.)
(Harper Lee, upon grabbing her Specialists Championship, shoulder butts ARIA, forcing her to stumble back. She obviously needs peace and quiet at this moment, and thus, she goes elsewhere. The camera lingers on ARIA momentarily…)
ARIA: *sigh.* Hope is hope, luck is luck, I guess.
(Before ARIA too walks off frame, and the broadcast fades to the ring and Gina Romano to announce the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST HAS A FIFTEEN MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS! THE AMAZING GIRL …. AYU MEGUMI!!!!!!
(‘ Ponytail to Shushu ‘ by AKB48 plays as Ayu slowly walks out, no smile, just focused on the ring. She walks before running in and sliding into the ring, the crowd gives her a huge ovation as she bows but her attention focuses on the ring entrance.)
Deadprez: The emotion this young woman has shown all week, that wasn’t the Ayu Megumi we knew and we hope that we don’t see that again but after what Pandora Paisley did to Usagi Senshi and then we saw the formation of Serotonin last week, Ayu wants one thing, she doesn;t even care about winning this match, she wants revenge!
Eve: I agree, and we are hoping that Ayu can stay focused because we know just how bad she wants to beat Pandora Paisley and I’m not talking about just the match.
Gavin Kirkland: You know, she did it to herself and that is her fault. Far as I am concerned, The Hellcat is oh so purrrrrfect!
Eve: You are so corny, Gavin.
(As Ayu’s theme dies down, it is replaced by “Just Stop” by Disturbed. The arena goes dark….)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT! HAILS FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT 9 STONES! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY JONNY AIRHART! THE HELLCAT…. PANDORA PAISLEY!!!
(The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar….
The beautiful and confident Pandora Paisley walks out in her black and cheetah print wrestling gear, fedora and glasses, standing at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos just as Jonny Airhart walks out behind her twirling his cane. She lowers her glasses and winks, looking around at the crowd, screams and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring. Pandora starts to jaw jack, sometimes yelling obscenities, staying fully focused inside the ring at Ayu..)
Deadprez: Look at the eyes of Pandora. Those cat-like eyes are focused on Ayu with her Cheshire Smile, she is an evil woman.
Eve: We saw her true colors and she can only get better or worse depending how you see it with Jonny Airhart. They have been a living hell to the Ice Aces.
Gavin Kirkland: No, she is a Godsend to the Showdown brand, look at her beauty!
(Pandora gets to the apron and hops up to the ring as the crowd looks on, flipping over the ropes back first. Once inside the ring Pandora goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire, the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight with Ayu. Pandora then cartwheels and ruffles her hair as she waits for the match to begin as the referee checks on both women and rings the bell to start the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Well, the bell has rung, and now we are underway with this match featuring both Ayu Megumi, and Pandora Paisley, who carries the utmost confidence going into this thing, BUT MAYBE AYU WILL WIPE THAT SMILE OFF THE FACE OF PANDORA AS THE TWO CHARGE EACH OTHER FROM OPPOSITE CORNERS! PANDORA LOOKS FOR A RIGHT HAND, BUT AYU BLOCKS IT, AND ANSWERS WITH ONE OF HER OWN!
Deadprez: AND NOW SHES FOLLOWING UP WITH MORE, STAGGERING PANDORA ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE CORNER! BUT PAISLEY DELIVERS A STERN KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AS AYU CLOSED IN, AIMING TO SLAM HER FACE FIRST FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT MEGUMI ELBOWS PAISLEY RIGHT IN THE RIBS, AIMING TO DO THE SAME THING TO HER ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, WHICH SHE DOES! Pandora’s pinned up against that corner now, and eats a knife edge chop from Ayu that rings throughout the Scotiabank Arena!
Eve: Pandora shoves Ayu away to create seperation for herself, trying to work her way out of the corner, but Megumi shoves her back in it, and lands more knife-edge chops to the chest area of Paisley. OOH! Pandora goes dirty, raking the eyes of Ayu, who gets whipped into the opposite corner! PANDORA CHARGES IN- BUT AYU GETS THE BOOT UP! PANDORA REELS BACK, MEANWHILE, MEGUMI HIKES UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPES, CRASHING DOWN WITH A DROPKICK, MOMENTARILY TAKING DOWN PAISLEY!
Eve: Pandora’s not gonna stay down that easy, and uses the corker to pull herself back up. Again, Pandora kicks Ayu right to the midsection once seeing her approach, and follows that up with a European uppercut! Ayu attempts to create some separation, but falls down to all fours instead, feeling the effects of that strike from Pandora, who stands her up to whip her off the ropes! BUT AYU REVERSES, SENDING PAISLEY OFF INSTEAD, PANDORA COMES BACK WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT TURNS AROUND INTO A PELE KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: The genius of Paisley starts to show, rolling out of the ring, talking with her partner in Airhart ringside, the two knowing that the momentum is unfortunately in favor of Megumi, not for long though, of course.
Deadprez: The two seem to have formulated a game plan, but one that does not bode well for Ayu as they start to circle the ring like sharks. Pandora gets up on one side, Jonny gets up on the other, which momentarily takes Ayu’s eyes off the prize, allowing Pandora to blindside her with a running elbow smash to the back of the head, and NOW Jonny Airhart drops down.
Eve: Must’ve all been part of the plan, a successful one at that as now Pandora stands up her adversary, delivering a headbutt that reels her back against the ropes, and Pandora looks to follow that up with a stiff European uppercut on Ayu, jacking the jaw, and knocking her down the mat. Pandora hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Kickout by Ayu! Pandora’s gonna have to do a lot more than that if she wants to put down Megumi here, but I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue with her as she stomps the hand of Ayu, having watched her get up to all fours. Megumi hangs herself up on the middle rope, favoring that hand of hers, but Pandora takes advantage, using said rope to choke her with!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Eve: Pandora let’s go, but picks Ayu up to lean her against the ropes, and bounce her off! PANDORA LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR A DROPKICK, BUT MEGUMI HANGS ON TO THE ROPES, SAVING HERSELF AS PAISLEY FALLS BACK FIRST ON THE CANVAS! AYU GOES FOR A JACKKNIFE PIN, NO WASTED MOTION ON HER END!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Deadprez: Kickout by Paisley, and both competitors scramble back to their feet! Ayu smashes her sole into Pandora’s face with an axe kick, and Paisley finds her way back into the corner, again, on the receiving end of a chops from Ayu. But Pandora surprised Ayu by slamming her down face first on the top turnbuckle, and starts to pummel her with punches in that corner, so much so, Ayu sinks down to a seated position, getting choked with the boot of Pandora Paisley.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!!
Eve: Pandora releases her foot off the neck of Ayu, but is starting to get reprimanded by the referee once he pulls her back to create distance, not liking Pandora’s blatant disrespect for the rules, but Paisley’s back on the attack in that corner, delivering systematic stomps to the side of Ayu’s face, Megumi doing her best to get the hand up. But Pandora pulls her up to a vertical base, placing her up against the ropes again for another irish whip! PANDORA DUCKS DOWN, BUT AYU CATCHES HER WITH A SUNSET FLIP!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
T-
Deadprez: Pandora kicks out, simultaneously rolling through to her feet, but Ayu does the same, and goes for RYO NO IKARI!! The superkick came close to connecting, but Pandora saw it coming, bringing herself to a screeching halt, and rolling out underneath the bottom rope in a panic! Pandora’s bought herself a bit of time to breathe, but cautiously gets up on the apron, watching Ayu Megumi carefully, WHO CHARGES IN WITH A SWING, BUT PANDORA DUCKS BELOW IT, DROPPING AYU THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE WITH A HOTSHOT!
Eve: Ayu turns her back to Pandora, falling to one knee while favoring that throat, which allows Paisley to snapmare her down to a seated position, strapping on a rear chinlock that’ll wear down, and suck all the energy out her opponent, who’s momentum seems to be fading! …But Ayu starts to power back up to a vertical base, and delivers elbows to the gut of Pandora, loosening her grip, BUT PAISLEY SCORES A FOREARM SMASH THAT KNOCKS AYU BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Deadprez: Pandora whips her into the opposite set of turnbuckles, AND TRIES TO CHARGE AT THE CORNER BOUND AYU, WHO GETS BOTH FEET UP THIS TIME, COMPLETELY TAKING DOWN PANDORA, WHO ROLLS OUT THE BOTTOM ROPE AGAIN! Ayu isn’t gonna let her get that breathing room this time round, and follows her out there, tailing the stunned Pandora, who’s leans herself up against our table for some breathing space, BUT MIGHT’VE JUST LURED AYU INTO A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!
Eve: Pandora tries to bounce Megumi face first off the steel steps, but Ayu blocks it, bouncing Pandora off instead, rolling Paisley back into the ring. Ayu gets up on the apron, but Pandora cuts her off with a right hand, and follows that up by sending Ayu back first into the ringpost, knocking her off the apron, and Pandora watches as the referee counts her downed opponent.
Referee: ONE…TWO…THREE!
Deadprez: Look at Airhart, coming over to add insult to injury, just taunting Ayu while she’s down, carrying a smug look on his face.
Referee: FOUR! FI-
Eve: Look at this, Pandora exits the ring, and isn’t gonna take the easy way out, she’s like a shark smelling blood in the water right now, and wants to simultaneously hurt and embarrass Megumi right now, back Suplexing her on the barricade, much to the delight of Jonny Airhart, who obnoxiously claps for this act of brutality! Pandora stands Ayu up, bouncing her face first off our announce table cover before rolling her back into the ring for a pinfall victory, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Deadprez: Another kickout, which starts to frustrate Pandora, dropping three leg drops across the throat of Ayu. Another cover made, having both legs hooked this time.
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRR-
Deadprez: Kickout, but not even missing a beat, Pandora captures Ayu in another rear chinlock, really wrenching on it. But in her attempt to wear down the opposition, Pandora might’ve made a rare miscalculation in judgment as the fans rally behind Ayu, who powers back to her feet again, throwing shots to both sides of Pandora’s rib cage! RIGHTS AND LEFTS! RIGHTS AND LEF- PANDORA WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! Paisley whips her off the ropes, BUT AYU COMES BACK WITH A SLINGBLADE!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!
Eve: However, isn’t able to capitalize due to the extent of the wear and tear she’s taken in this matchup, but both competitors slowly start getting back to their feet. AYU CHARGES AT PANDORA, PAISLEY MISSES WITH A CLOTHESLINE, TURNING AROUND TO SEE AYU BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES WITH ONE OF HER OWN! BUT THAT DOESNT KEEP PAISLEY DOWN FOR LONG, QUICKLY BACK TO HER FEET, ONLY TO GET TAKEN DOWN AGAIN WITH THAT CLOTHESLINE FROM AYU!
Deadprez: PANDORA’S BACK UP, BUT GETS WHIPPED OFF THE ROPES BY MEGUMI, WHO GETS COUNTERED BY PANDORA WITH AN ATTEMPT AT AN IRISH WHIP OF HER OWN, SHIFTING THE MOMENTUM! BUT AYU SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A BEAUTIFUL EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Pandora scrambles to the corner, and Ayu is hot in pursuit, climbing up to the middle rope for some punches!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Eve: Ayu drops down, and goes for an Irish whip to the opposite corner, or does she? Directing Pandora back to the previous corner last minute, but the referee planted himself there, causing Pandora to stop in her tracks! AYU WITH A SCHOOL GIRL!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRREEE-
Deadprez: KICKOUT, AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET- CAT’S PAW! PANDORA CAUGHT HER WITH THE CAT’S PAW SUPERKICK! A sinister smirk forms on the face of Pandora, who looks around at the booing crowd before slowly pulling Ayu up by her hair. Pandora’s gonna look to put the finishing touches on this with CATastrophe! BUT AYU SHOVES HER OFF THE HEADLOCK DRIVER, CAUSING PANDORA TO REBOUND OFF THE ROPES, BUT AYU LANDS THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE ON PANDORA!
Eve: FATALITY COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AS AYU RUSHES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Eve: KICKOUT! PANDORA GOT THE SHOULDER UP, BUT THAT LOOK OF INTENSITY FLARES IN THE EYES OF AYU, WHO STALKS PANDORA FROM THE CORNER, AWAITING HER TO STAND BACK UP! AYU CHARGES IN! ETHEREAL BL-
Gavin Kirkland: YES! AYU RAN RIGHT INTO A SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM PANDORA!
Deadprez: Paisley’s still somewhat on wobbly legs, yet can breathe one sigh of relief knowing that her threat, for now, is neutralized on the mat. But Pandora hoists Ayu up, perching her on the top turnbuckle. Paisley lands a headbutt before climbing up to the top rope in attempt of a superplex! BUT AYU SLIPPED OUT BETWEEN THE OPEN LEGS OF PANDORA, CROTCHING HER ON THE TOP ROPE, AND CLIMBING UP HERSELF NOW! AYU’S GONNA GO FOR A TOP ROPE BACK SUPERPLEX..BUT PANDORA COUNTERS LAST MINUTE, TWISTING HERSELF AROUND FOR A CROSSBODY, CRASHING DOWN ON AYU AS THE TWO FALL DOWN TO THE MAT!
Eve: But Pandora just bounces off the body of Megumi due to the impact, and both are not in a room to capitalize on one another, making their way up to a vertical base at just about the same time, keeping a slow pace. Pandora grabs ahold of Ayu’s hair as they stand themselves upright, BUT AYU EXPLODES WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! PANDORA’S STRUGGLING TO STAND ON HER OWN TWO FEET HERE AYU TURNS HER INSIDE OUT WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! AYU’S FIRED UP!
Deadprez: But Pandora’s the exact opposite, lying prone on the mat, looking almost like a crime sketch outline. Ayu wraps her in an almost full Nelson, and uses that to pull Pandora back to her feet. Paisley’s completely glossed over, and has no idea where she is. STARSTORM- NO! AIRHART JUMPED UP ON THE APRON, CAUSING AYU TO TAKE A SWING AT HIM, HOWEVER, JONNY JUST DROPPED DOWN JUST IN TIME TO AVOID IT!
Eve: Ayu and Jonny both jaw jack with each other, BUT TURN AROUND AYU! TURN AROUND- PANDORA’S BOX! PAISLEY CONNECTED WITH PANDORA’S BOX, THE MAFIA KICK TURNING AYU INSIDE OUT AS SHE SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER, HAVING BOTH LEGS HOOKED, BUT WHY EVEN BOTHER?! THIS WHY IS OVER!
Gavin Kirkland; COUNT, REF, COUNT!!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!
(The crowd boos as Pandora laughs and screams loudly, looking down at Ayu as Jonny Airhart rolls into the ring and raises her hand in victory.)
Deadprez: SEROTONIN JUST ROBBED AYU MEGUMI AND THIS HAS TO STOP! THIS REALLY HAS TO STOP!
Eve: Pandora with her first singles victory here tonight at the expense of Ayu and all because Pandora couldn’t beat her on her own…. And wait a second!
Gavin Kirkland: THEY ARE NOT DONE! YES!
(Pandora starts kicking Ayu while she is down, picking her up as she is dazed and hurt, Jonny grabs his cane and starts to laugh as Pandora holds her up, he is about to strike when the crowd starts to cheer….)
Eve: THEY ARE ABOUT TO PUMMEL AYU MEGUMI…. BUT FROM THE BACK!? HERE COMES USAGI SENSHI! I DIDN;T KNOW SHE WAS HERE! USAGI SENSHI SLIDING IN AND JONNY SWINGS BUT SENSHI DUCKS AND KICKS HIM BETWEEN THE LEGS! JONNY HOPPING UP AND DOWN, HE LEANS AGAINST THE ROPES AND PANDORA COMES IN BUT SENSHI WITH A SUPERKICK! PANDORA FLIES BACK INTO THE ROPES AND USAGI HITS A TORNADO DDT ON PANDORA!
Deadprez: THE HELLCAT ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND AYU IS BACK UP, THEY RUNS AT JONNY AND DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND THE ICES ACES HAVE CLEARED THE RING! PANDORA AND JONNY ON THE FLOOR! THEY ARE BACK UP AND HERE COMES OFFICIALS AND MORE REFEREES!
(As Serotonin tries to get back in the ring into the arms of the Ice Aces, the officials and referees get in between both teams. Pandora is screaming from the top of her lungs as Jonny Airhart is holding her back, kicking and screaming while Ayu is holding Usagi Senshi back from going outside when suddenly the Tron comes on and Hurricane Hawk is present…)
Hurricane Hawk: OKAY THAT IS ENOUGH! We have had too many attacks, too much chaos and that is NOT how I wanted to start the 2022 year! Pandora, I told you there would be consequences and after what you did to Usagi Senshi and the referee, I am not only fining you Twenty-Five Thousand dollars which I know you’re not rich so good luck on that, but also if you put your hands on any official ever again I will SUSPEND YOU INDEFINITELY!
(The crowd cheers as Pandora sneers but Jonny Airhart tries to calm her down, cupping her face with his hands….)
Jonny Airhart: (Off Mic) I will pay the fine don’t worry!
(She just reluctantly nods while the Ice Aces look on….)
Hurricane Hawk: BUT I am not done. I was going to suspend you Pandora last week, but you better thank Usagi Senshi who came to me and begged that I do not so she could get her hands on you and after what transpired here tonight, that is exactly what is going to happen, because the Saturday after King of Elite is going to be a SPECIAL Showdown LIVE from Minneapolis and any true wrestling fan knows that Minnesota was one of the hot beds where professional wrestling and some of the very best came from. So… IN THE MAIN EVENT…. It is going to be THE ICE ACES taking on SEROTONIN and the winner will face the HAIRCARE KINGS FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM TITLES AT DIA DEL DIABLO!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as Usagi slams the ropes and screams in happiness as Ayu has a huge smile on her face. Pandora looks on, again sneering but cracking a smirk as Jonny starts to laugh.)
Hurricane Hawk: BUT I AM NOT DONE! See, next week there is going to be a match between Usagi Senshi who has been medically cleared and Jonny Airhart, the winner will choose the stipulation to the Tag Team Match on Showdown!
(Jonny Airhart turns to look at Usagi Senshi who taunts him to get in the ring. Pandora holds him back as she starts to pull him, whispering something in his ear as they start to head toward the back, The crowd continues to cheer as Hurricane Hawk nods.)
Hurricane Hawk: Now let’s get on with the show!
(The Tron shuts off, as the officials continue to try and separate the two teams.)
Deadprez: He is calling Showdown from Minneapolis a Super Show and we don’t know what else we have in store, but the Main Event is the chance at the Unified Tag Team titles at Dia Del Diablo! Will it be Serotonin!? Will it be The Ice Aces!?
Eve: Hurricane Hawk has laid it down, and while we thought a match like this would have been at the King of Elite Free Per View, we are going to get this huge contest one week later!
Gavin Kirkland: If I had the money I would pay Pandora’s fine!
(The referees and officials continue to clear the ring area as it cuts to commercial for the Text Ronan Malosi pictures of The Geico Caveman Wrestler, he loves Troglodytes!)
(It cuts back from the commercial to Gina Romano standing in the ring ready to call the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is the quarterfinals to the 2022 King Of Elite tournament and is set for one fall with a twenty minute time limit!
(“Survivor’s Guilt” by Dave blasts through the speakers and is immediately met with a monsoon of boos as Charlie Marr makes his way onto the entranceways. He embraces the atmosphere while gradually walking towards the squared circle.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Tower Hamlets, London, England, weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS “THE MAN OF ALWAYS”, CHAAARRRLIEEE MARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Charlie Marr has made it to the quarterfinals of the 2022 Showdown King Of Elite tournament by knocking off Abel Atami and looks to make it to the finals and potentially the main event of King Of Elite by attempting to conquer someone who actually got a surprise victory over him a couple of weeks ago.
Eve: Yes, this was in the middle of his heated rivalry with TLA. Charlie Marr was on the verge of finishing Amir Yusuf off, but TLA came out and distracted him. WIth this distraction, Yusuf came from out of nowhere and rolled him up for one of the biggest victories of his career. I am sure that has been itching at Marr’s ego for a while now and tonight, not only does he have an opportunity to rectify a rookie mistake, but to get one step closer to being the King Of Elite.
(Charlie Marr stands in the center of the ring and waits for Amir Yusuf as his theme song dies out. “Elevate” by DJ Khalil echoes throughout the Scotiabank Arena to an earth-shattering pop. Amir Yusuf jerks the curtain and steps onto the entranceway with a confident smile on his face. He makes his signature pose and panders to the crowd before getting into the squared circle.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 182 pounds… HE IS THE “HEART OF EAW”, AMIRRR YUUUUUUUUUUSUUUUF!!!!!!!
Eve: Ever since losing the EAW New Breed Championship to Jon Kelton, Amir Yusuf has made sure that would not be forgotten without the championship attached to his name. He has carved a path of success with accumulated victories over the likes of Justin Windgate, Abel Atami, Oliver Taylor, and could possibly continue his streak of victories with another victory over the former world champion, Charlie Marr.
Gavin Kirkland: Amir Yusuf is dogshit. His victory over Charlie Marr was a fluke and he is about to be dissected and ripped apart! BELIEVE THAT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Right as the bell rings, Amir Yusuf and Charlie Marr don’t take their time and immediately engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Marr gains the advantage and transitions into a standing headlock and Yusuf pushes him up against the ropes. Marr rebounds off the ropes and maintains the headlock, and they have returned back to the center of the ring. Yusuf wraps his arms around the side of his body and hoists him up! Marr adapts and uses the elevation to drag Yusuf down into the grounded headlock. Yusuf quickly counters it with leg scissors, Marr kips-up out of it and Yusuf kips-up to his feet as well. Marr steps to the side and Yusuf runs into and off the ropes! Marr choreographs a back body drop, but Yusuf smoothly rolls off his shoulders. Marr turns arounds and gets slammed onto the ground with a snapmare takedown. He storms up to his feet while Yusuf rebounds off the ropes! Marr swings for a punch, Yusuf grabs it, spins around and grabs the other arm! AND HE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG!!
Eve: There is the agility that Charlie Marr needs to keep tabs on as Yusuf irish whips him into the opposite corner- NO!! MARR TURNS IT AROUND AND YUSUF GOES CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! Marr follows him from behind and looks to squash him in! Yusuf leans down and sends him over the top rope onto the apron! Marr swings from outside and Yusuf ducks it! AND YUSUF GRABS HIS LEGS FROM INSIDE THE RING AND BRINGS HIM IN WITH A SCHOOL-BOY COVER!! AMIR YUSUF LOOKING TO ADVANCE TO THE SHOWDOWN FINALS IN A HURRY!
O-
Deadprez: THE REFEREE COULDN’T EVEN GET THE FIRST COUNT IN!! Both elitists get up to their feet and Amir Yusuf lunges towards his arm! AND HE GOES FOR A SPINNING ARM DRAG!! BUT MARR HOLDS ONTO HIM!! AND HE USES HIS RIGHT FOOT AND BRINGS IT DOWN WITH AUTHORITY ONTO HIS UNPROTECTED FACE!! YUSUF HAD NO TIME TO PROTECT HIS FACE AND HE MIGHT JUST HAVE A BROKEN NOSE!! A SHATTERED JAW!! A BLACK EYE!! WHO KNOWS!! This is the aggressive part of Charlie Marr that has brought him to success and Amir Yusuf is getting a taste of it! Marr connects with a kick to the back, followed up by a shoot kick straight to the jaw!! The former EAW World Champion is now dissecting Yusuf as he hits an atomic drop and HOISTS HIM UP RIGHT INTO A BACK SUPLEX THAT HAS YUSUF LANDING RIGHT ONTO HIS NECK!! THAT’S GOTTA HURT!
Gavin Kirkland: No shit, that’s got to hurt. Let me slam you down onto your neck and we’ll see. No need to state the obvious. Amir Yusuf stormed into the match with the agility and athletic ability that he is known for and we have found that it can be quickly stopped with the ferocity of the bald-headed garden gnome. Marr steps onto the second rope and starts to mock the crowd in attendance as Yusuf is slowly getting up to his feet! Marr brings his attention back onto him and comes from behind. He pushes him into the ropes and elbows his back right as he returned! He turns him around and gets him up for that vertical suplex!
Eve: Yusuf hovers over his shoulders, wraps his arms around his waist and goes into the ropes! Marr holds onto the ropes and Yusuf rolls back into the center of the ring! MARR REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND CHARGES INTO HIM!! Yusuf goes around the waist, Marr reaches below and takes him down with one leg! He turns around and Yusuf looks to connect with a thrust kick from the ground! Marr grabs his feet and rolls him up to his feet!! AND YUSUF WALKS RIGHT INTO A SHOOT KICK TO HIS LEFT KNEE! AND MARR SHATTERS HIS JAW ON HIS KNEES WITH A DEVASTATING BASEMENT KNEE STRIKE!! MARR HOVERS OVER FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! THIS COULD BE ONE!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TW-
Deadprez: YUSUF POWERS OUT AT ONE!! Charlie Marr quickly puts him right into a headlock off that kick out! Amir Yusuf begins to fight out of the headlock! He is clenching his fists and trying to get energy and strength from the support of the crowd! Marr is starting to get anxious and lets go! HE CLUTCHES HIM FROM THE SIDE!! AND DRIVES HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE WITH A SIDE SLAM BACKBREAKER! AND MARR ISN’T DONE YET AS HE HOISTS HIM UP!! AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A EMPHATIC FRONT POWERSLAM!! MARR GETS ONTO HIM WITH THE SECOND PIN ATTEMPT!! THE LATERAL PRESS!!

Gavin Kirkland: KICK-OUT!! Marr gives Yusuf no time to recover as he immediately brings the former EAW New Breed Champion up to his feet! Marr connects with multiple knee strikes to the midsection before kicking the gut and getting in the front facelock! SNAP DDT!! AND MARR ROLLS HIM OFF THE SNAP DDT!! AND HE USES THE ROPES TO HIS ADVANTAGES!! AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A SLINGSHOT VERTICAL SUPLEX!! Charlie does not go for the cover and elects to step through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles. Marr is looking for the high-risk aerial maneuver, but this may cost him as he is attempting this against someone who excels in the cloud district! MARR IS NOW PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Eve: CHARLIE MARR IS SIGNALING FOR THE JUMPING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! BUT MARR IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS YUSUF SPRINGS UP OFF THE CANVAS!! AND CONNECTS WITH THE LEG SCISSORS FOR A POSSIBLE AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA!! BUT MARR HAS IT SCOUTED!! AND TURNS IT INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!

Deadprez: YUSUF KICKS OUT YET AGAIN!! BUT MARR TRANSITIONS THE JACKKNIFE COVER INTO A DOUBLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!! A BRILLIANT TRANSITION FROM CHARLIE MARR AS YUSUF HAS YET TO GET OUT OF THE THICK OF THE DAMAGE HE HAS BEEN SUSTAINING!! BOTH OF THESE COMPETITORS HAVE GOTTEN A TASTE OF EACH OTHER BEFORE AND CHARLIE MARR HAS COME MORE PREPARED THAN EVER!! HOWEVER, YUSUF SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO BE EASILY CLOSING IN TOWARDS THE ROPES!! YUSUF IS A COUPLE OF HANDS AWAY, BUT MARR LETS GO OF THE BOSTON CRABS AND TRAPS YUSUF IN THE CROSSFACE!! CROSSFACE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AS AMIR YUSUF HAS A NEW OBSTACLE TO TRY AND GET OUT OF!! YUSUF IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING HIMSELF THROUGH THE ROPES AS MARR CONTINUES TO PULL BACK ON HIS HEAD!!
Eve: YUSUF IS SO CLOSE TO THE ROPE!! HE IS NEARING THE ROPE BREAK!! CHARLIE MARR REALIZES THIS AND LET’S GO!! HE GETS IN FRONT OF YUSUF AND NOW LIFTS HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB!! BUT YUSUF COUNTERS THE POWERBOMB BY TURNING IT INTO A SIT-OUT FACEBREAKER!! YUSUF FINALLY TURNS THE TIDES AND CHANGES THE COMPLEXION OF THIS MATCH TO HIS ADVANTAGE!! YUSUF FINALLY HAS THE UPPER EDGE AS HE GETS UP TO HIS FEET!! AND HE CHARGES INTO MARR!

THR-
Eve: KICK-OUT!! CHARLIE MARR ALMOST HAD HIM THERE!!! Marr uses the ropes to aid him up to his feet and he is beginning to look disgruntled with how Amir Yusuf won’t be put down for good! Marr sits on the second turnbuckle and waits for Yusuf to get up to his feet! AND HE CHARGES INTO HIM!! AND SPINS AROUND!! FOR THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE!! CHARING CROSS!! NO!! AMIR YUSUF GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND MARR NEARLY COLLIDES INTO THE REFEREE!!
Gavin Kirkland: YOU IDIOT!! MARR IS SHOCKED THAT HE ALMOST HIT THE REFEREE AS YUSUF COMES FROM BEHIND!
Eve: YUSUF USES THE SECOND ROPE TO SPRING HIS UPPER BODY AND SLIDE DOWN MARR’S BACK!! AND HE DRAGS HIM DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP!! AND YUSUF NOW ARCHES OVER AND FORCES HIS BODY DOWN WITH A BRIDGING SUNSET FLIP!! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YUSUF WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT CHARLIE MARR MANY, MANY WEEKS AGO!! WILL HISTORY REPEAT!! NO! WAY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: MARR POWERS OUT!! YUSUF GOES AROUND THE WAIST AND GOES FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER ONCE MORE!! BUT MARR GOES DOWN AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE TAKEDOWN!! MARR NOW REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE ONCE MORE!! CHARING CROSS MISSES AS YUSUF GRABS THE ARM AND GOES OVER HIS HEAD!! AND HE GOES FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER ONCE MORE!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Survivor’s Guilt” by Dave blasts through the speakers as the Scotiabank Arena is filled to the brim with boos. With a sinister smirk on his face, Charlie Marr gets up to his feet, rejects the referee’s hand and individually celebrates on the top turnbuckle.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!! CHAARRRLIEE MARR-
Eve: CHARLIE MARR WITH THE CHARING CROSS TO AMIR YUSUF!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER AND MARR FEELS LIKE AS IF HIS BUSINESS IS FINISHED WITH THE FORMER EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!! HE JUST TURNED HIM INSIDE OUT WITH THAT DISCUS CLOTHESLINE AS MARR NOW DRAGS YUSUF INTO THE RINGPOST!! AND HE REPEATEDLY SMACKS HIS LEFT LEG INTO IT!! OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
Deadprez: You would figure that Charlie Marr would be satisfied that he rectified that fluke victory, but he wants to make sure Amir Yusuf doesn’t walk again! Marr continues to drive his left leg into the LED ringpost before he grabs a steel chair from ringside! DON’T DO THIS MARR!!
Gavin Kirkland: MARR HAS THE STEEL CHAIR IN HAND!! AND HE SMASHES IT INTO HIS LEFT KNEE AGAINST THE RINGPOST!! AMIR YUSUF SCREAMS IN PAIN AS MARR DOES IT AGAIN!! AND HE SMASHES IT AGAINST THE RINGPOST FOR A THIRD TIME!! AND MARR PULLS HIM IN BY THE LEGS!! AND YUSUF GOES GROIN FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!!!!! YUSUF SLIDES DOWN THE RINGPOST AND CHARLIE MARR SMASHES THE STEEL CHAIR ONTO HIS LEG LEG ONCE MORE AND THROWS IT AWAY!!! THIS IS THAT CHARLIE MARR THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! THAT GNOME FUCK HAS BEEN UNLEASHED!
Eve: The winner of Adam Lucas versus Ronan Malosi better be aware of who awaits them at the Showdown finals! Charlie Marr isn’t playing around and he won’t have a problem with making sure you end up in the same hospital ward as Amir Yusuf here!
(More officials run out to stop him as the camera quickly fades to the backstage area.)
(Backstage, Kyra Phillips is standing with Roberto De La Rosa and Esmeralda who seem itching to have camera time. Kyra brings the mic to her lips and starts to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here with Roberto De La Rosa and Esmeralda. Roberto, you seemed to be making a point last week when you attacked the Hardcore Champion. A lot has been said since but is this you saying that you want the next shot at Limmy Monaghan?
Roberto De La Rosa: Kyra, that is precisely the point I was making. See, I’ve heard the whispers in the locker room, saying that Roberto De La Rosa won’t make it. And I’ve admitted to myself that 2021 didn’t go exactly the way I wanted. But this isn’t 2021, that time has passed, and this is a new year, and a new beginning. What I did to Monaghan is what I should have been doing since day one, taking my shots. This year is my time to shine, and what better way of doing it than as the Hardcore Champion?
Kyra Phillips: There are better ways, I mean you could have asked.
Roberto De La Rosa: What, and get laughed out of the room? No, I made my statement the way a Challenger should. The Hardcore division is one that I can thrive in and dominate in a way that Limmy Monaghan cannot. You’ve heard him, he is only using the championship to position himself in a place for what he believes are bigger things. What type of champion is that?
Kyra Phillips: He’s been a fighting champion thus far
Roberto De La Rosa: Against who, challengers that are easily forgotten that’s who. Adam Lucas, Limmy Monaghan, neither of them belong in this division. I do. And last week I showed that categorically I have Monaghan’s number. Now all he needs to do is man up and accept my challenge.
Kyra Phillips: But tonight, you face perhaps your greatest challenge thus far wouldn’t you agree?
(Roberto looks over to Esmeralda who simply nods.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Cameron is a former world champion; I can respect that. She is also one of the most famed Elitists of all time. But I don’t see that as a challenge Kyra, I see that as an opportunity. I see that as a chance to not only claim victory, a victory that would no doubt send shockwaves around this company, but to also make an example of someone obviously highly thought of. It is of course a shame that Cameron is a fellow countrywoman, that is unfortunate. But it is life, and sometimes life isn’t fair, and you can only play the hand you are given. Needless to say, Cameron will tonight learn a lesson, just as Limmy will if he watches as carefully as he should.
Esmeralda: That being that Roberto is about to take over the Hardcore Division, and no one can stop him.
(She grabs the mic and pulls it closer, almost bringing Kyra with it.)
Esmeralda: NO ONE!!!
(Kyra looks a little shaken and takes a step back, as a voice is heard from behind them both.)
Voice: Did I hear someone using my client’s name in vain?
(Everyone turns around to face none other than Walter Bivens, the Hardcore Championship resting over his shoulder.)
Esmeralda: Ah, just the man we wanted to see, come to accept Roberto’s challenge, or are you about to reveal that Monaghan is just as cowardly as you are.
Walter Bivens: My client is far from a coward Esmeralda, as he has shown with his title reign thus far. I only heard you speaking about him, so therefore decided I should interject before you spoke more untruths.
Esmeralda: Everything I say about him is true. He is no match for Roberto.
Walter Bivens: Please, Jonny Airhart is a match for Roberto, and we all know what people think about him.
Esmeralda: You give Roberto the chance, and he will be the Champion, mark my words. That belt will be his.
Walter Bivens: It’s a bold claim, and it is certainly obvious that you have confidence in him, but will he share the same confidence when face to face with my client… the champion.
(Walter looks at Roberto who stares him down, tapping the belt with his forefinger.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Give me the shot, and I show you that my confidence is far from misplaced. Monaghan is nothing more than a paper champion. I WILL be the real deal, you’ll see.
(Walter straightens his jacket, looking up at Roberto, then towards Esmeralda, as a huge grin forms on his face.)
Roberto De La Rosa: What’s so funny, Bivens? How’s about I send another message to Monaghan and wipe that grin from your mouth, and relieve you of a few teeth?
Walter Bivens: What’s funny, is that you have just made the biggest mistake of your life.
Roberto De La Rosa: Really?
Walter Bivens: Really. You’re not ready for the Hardcore Championship, and do you know why?
Esmeralda: Enlighten us.
Walter Bivens: In the Hardcore Division the first thing you should learn and should have taught yourself by now… is you ALWAYS watch your back.
(Walter takes a step to the side, as Roberto’s eyes widen, turning too late but straight into a forearm smash from Limmy Monaghan that staggers him backwards. As Esmeralda screams, Limmy then runs forwards and spears De La Rosa, taking him to the floor. Limmy then mounts Roberto and starts raining down shot after shot, smashing his fist over and over into Roberto’s face, a great deal of those shots hitting home as Esmeralda continues screaming out for help. Finally, EAW officials appear, and they manage to pull Limmy away, breaking up the beat down, Esmeralda kneeling by the side of De La Rosa who seems out of it. Limmy shrugs off the officials and takes the Hardcore Championship from Bivens and places it on his shoulder.)
Limmy Monaghan: Be careful what you wish for De La Rosa. I’ll see YOU at King of Elite.
(Monaghan and Bivens walk off, leaving an angry Esmeralda tending to Roberto. It is in that image that the scene cuts to a commercial.)
(The scene fades back to Gina Romano in the middle of the ring for the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST HAS A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS! SHE IS THE GODDESS….. CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!
(ULTRAnumb by Blue Stahli starts to play throughout the arena as Cameron comes out and looks at the fans, the cheer for her loudly as she runs to the ring, hitting high fives before sliding in and climbing the second rope, pointing at the crowd as they continue to cheer.)
Deadprez: One of the absolute best is here tonight and she faces a man hungry for championship gold and he might be a little beat up but we are joined here by Veena Adams and you two have had your little problems as well.
Veena Adams: OH we have and I figured to get a little bird’s eye view of this overrated bitch once again and watch this big dude kick her ass.
Eve: Don’t sugarcoat anything Veena.
Veena Adams: Oh, I’m not.
Gavin Kirkland: Can I just say that….
Veena Adams: I’m the most beautiful woman in EAW? Yeah I know, thanks Gavin.
Gavin Kikrland: Marry me.
(As Veena and Cameron lock eyes, the two glaring at one another, Cameron’s theme fades and it is replaced by Por Mi Mexico- Lefty SM Ft. Santa Fe Klan.)
Gina Romano:HER OPPONENT HAILS FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO! WEIGHING IN AT 245 POUNDS… EL PADRASTRO …. ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!!!!
(Roberto De La Rosa comes out with a custom made designer suit, wearing luxurious jewelry and puffing a cigar as his beautiful valet Esmeralda follows him and begins to slowly remove his clothing as his ring gear is revealed. As she finishes, De La Rosa throws his cigar to the floor and stomps it as pyro starts shooting wildly and a Mexican Flag is suspended behind him. He gingerly walks to the ring, obviously hurt from the attack previously.)
Deadprez: And we could be seeing the next Hardcore Champion but looking a little worst for wear.
Eve: He is but Roberto is so dangerous and he can beat anyone at anytime, Cameron needs to be careful when wrestling this man.
Gavin Kikrland: Well, long as Veen is here, who cares what happens to MILF.
Veena Adams: MILF? Jamie’s sloppy seconds, gross.
Gavin Kirkland: Well… I….
(Roberto gets to the ring after talking strategy with Esmeralda, they nod at each other and he slides in, ready to wrestle, as the referee checks on both and then calls for the bell and the start of the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The bell has rung, and this crowd is electric as both competitors lock up in the center of the ring! Roberto shows off that power advantage, however, backing Cam into the corner! ROBERTO LOOKS FOR A RIGHT HAND, BUT CAM BLOCKS, FIGHTING HER WAY OUT OF SAID CORNER WITH RIGHTS OF HER OWN! BUT ROBERTO CUTS OFF HER ATTEMPT TO MOUNT MOMENTUM WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT, AND BOUNCES CAM FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Roberto grabs the back of Cam’s head, and sends her rebounding off the ropes, AND ROBERTO CHARGES RIGHT INTO CAM WITH A BACK ELBOW, taking her down!
Veena Adams: I’m surprised, this loser’s actually kicking her ass! :mjlol2:
Eve: Roberto’s using that power to its full use as he circles the seated Cam, and kicks her right in the side of her head. Ava rolls over, and moves to both knees-
Gavin Kirkland: A position I like her in. :mjlit:
Eve: Find God. ..Meanwhile in the ring, Roberto stands Cam up to a vertical base, BUT THAT MIGHT’VE BEEN A MISTAKE AS CAM STARTS TO FIGHT BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE BODY, AND HEAD! Cameron leans Roberto up against the ropes before whipping him off, AND HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A CALF KICK! Roberto rolls away from Cam to build separation between the two, and starts using the ropes to pull himself back up. But Cam is hot on his heels!
Deadprez: SHE MIGHTVE WALKED RIGHT INTO HIS TRAP, HOWEVER, AS ROBERTO USED THE BACK OF CAM’S TRUNKS FOR LEVERAGE TO SEND HER THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE MIDDLE ROPE! Roberto stands himself back up now, and starts to pummel Cameron with punches to the back of her head and neck before rebounding her off the ropes! CAMERON USES RING AWARENESS TO HER ADVANTAGE THOUGH, HANGING ONTO SAID ROPES!
Eve: This frustrates Roberto, causing him to charge at her, but Cam just low bridges the top rope, and watches as Roberto goes tumbling over to the outside! Cameron climbs up to the top turnbuckle now, and DIVES DOWN WITH A CROSSBODY RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR COMMENTARY DESK!
(Cameron and Veena have a tense staredown before Cam begins focusing on Roberto once more, who gets rolled back into the ring.)
Deadprez: Tense stare down here between Veena, and Cam-
Veena Adams: Cumeron needs to keep her eyes to herself.
Eve: Cameron climbs to the top rope for a second time, watching as Roberto slowly gets himself together, moving back to his feet, but he has no idea what awaits him once he turns around! CAMERON DIVES DOWN WITH A METEORA! AVA MOVES INTO THE COVER ON ROBERTO, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: Quick kickout by Roberto! But going back to what you said about Cam keeping her eyes to herself, Veena, don’t you think it’s not safe for her to assume that you’ll look to play some part in this match’s outcome?
Veena Adams: Watch what you imply here, Deadprez, before I make a quick phone call that gets you fired. My intentions are clear, I’m out here to get a closer look at the action, plus, I could care less about the bald fuck in the ring, unless he’s Charlie Marr, I certainly don’t care whether he wins or loses.
Eve: Strong words as Cameron lifts Roberto back to his feet, jacking his jaw with a forearm smash, and follows that up with a European uppercut! Roberto staggers back into the corner, and gets bombarded with shoot kicks right to the chest before Cameron whips him into the opposite corner- BUT HE COUNTERS, AND SENDS HER THERE INSTEAD! ROBERTO CHARGES IN, BUT CAMERON GETS THE BOOT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! CAM HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE- FUCK!
Deadprez: ROBERTO SHOVES HER TO THE OUTSIDE! Cam tumbled hard, and Roberto’s gonna take advantage, heading to the outside, and standing her up to a vertical base, Roberto scores a right hand that has Cameron wobbling by the steel steps! DE LA ROSA CHARGES IN, BUT CAM SIDESTEPS, CAUSING HIM TO GO GUT FIRST INTO THE STEEL! Cameron slides into the ring, and watches as Roberto slowly rolls back in himself!
Eve: CAMERON’S SHOWING THAT VICIOUS SIDE, STOMPING DOWN ON ROBERTO, WHOS DOING HIS BEST TO COVER UP! Cameron gets pulled away by the referee, creating some separation between the two, and allowing Roberto to get up to a knee, using the ropes for assistance. Cameron goes to pursue him, but walks right into a body shot, and Roberto biels her right into the corner! De La Rosa ups the aggressiveness a bit more himself, and grinds that forearm into the side of the corner bound Cameron’s face!
Veena Adams: Be careful, he might wipe her fifty pounds of makeup off.
Deadprez: Roberto starts peppering her with strikes now, hitting the abdomen, and facial area. But Cam delivers a kick to the stomach that allows her to shift the momentum, moving Roberto into that corner again, and starting to light his chest up again with shoot kicks, mixing punches in between! Roberto calls upon that power again, shoving her away to create distance. BUT CAM RUNS IN WITH A CORNER DROPKICK THAT TAKES HIM DOWN!
Eve: Roberto senses he’s in trouble, and slithers out onto the apron, Cameron tries to pull him back to his feet, but HE POKES HER IN THE EYE! The referee admonishes Roberto, but I don’t think he cares as he begins to try and lift Cameron for a suplex to the outside it looks like! Roberto gets her up slightly, but Cameron is quick to fight it, and holds her weight down! Ava tries to shift the momentum with a suplex of her own, this time inside the ring, but Roberto holds his weight down as well, and we both know Cam’s not gonna be able to deadlift him!
Deadprez: Roberto manages to finally get Cam up, but she finds herself on the apron with De La Rosa, and the two exchange rights! The fans heavily in favor of Cam!
Crowd: YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YE-
Deadprez: ROBERTO CATCHES THE ARM OF CAM IN POSITION FOR A URANAGE, AND LANDS ONE ON THE APRON! Roberto pushes Cam back into the ring, and slides back in himself, just moving at a methodical pace, picking Cam up for a suplex, and releasing her halfway across the ring! Roberto mounts her now, and starts delivering punches in bunches! Cam shoves him off, but is clearly feeling the effects of that onslaught!
Eve: Roberto sees her sit up, clutching at that jaw, and moves into a rear chinlock!
Veena Adams: I came out to get a closer look at the action, but if this keeps up, I may leave on account of said action being boring.
Gavin Kirkland: Cmon, Cam! Fight!
Eve: Roberto’s really got her grounded, wrenching more and more on that chinlock, but Cam starts to fight back to her feet, running off the support from these fans. Cam starts to tag Roberto with back elbows, loosening that grip of his, and allowing Cam to break free with right hands! Cameron has Roberto on spaghetti legs, and runs off the ropes in front of him! BUT DE LA ROSA SIDESTEPS, GRABBING THE BACK OF HER HEAD, AND USING THE MOMENTUM AGAINST CAM TO LAUNCH HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: Roberto’s got a smile on his face as he heads to the outside, pinning Cameron’s head up against the apron, AND REIGNING DOWN WITH ELBOWS! This is brutality that’ll serve Roberto well in his chase for the Hardcore Title, but look at the wide eyes of Cameron once she slumps down to the floor. Roberto might’ve caused her a concussion here as she looks completely out of it, leaned up against the apron!
Eve: But Roberto presses his foot into the skull of Cameron, and for those that don’t know, there’s a metal truss under that ring where her face is pressed into! Roberto finally relents at heating the referee’s count, and rolls Cameron back into the ring, hooking the leg for a cover.
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Another kickout by Cameron, who moves up into a seated position, WHICH ALLOWS ROBERTO TO RUN OFF THE ROPES FOR A BIG BOOT! ANOTHER PINFALL ATTEMPT MADE BY ROBERTO!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: KICKOUT! Roberto’s frustration starts to creep in, and he’s tries for a second time!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: He’ll have to do a lot more than that to put Cam down!
Eve: I’m sure that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make, seating Cam up, and driving his knees into her back, right between the shoulder blades, and he locks in that rear chinlock once more. All this will do is wear down his opponent further, and Roberto knows of it, even fighting back to her feet like Cam is doing right now will take out tons of energy! Cam tries to replicate what she did earlier to break free, landing back elbows! BUT ROBERTO WHIPS HER OFF THE ROPES!
Deadprez: CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BY DE LA ROSA, BUT CAM DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES BEHIND HIM, BUT HE TURNS AROUND, CUTTING OFF HER MOMENTUM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT, AND HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A FLATLINER! Roberto doesn’t go for the cover, opting to watch as Cam slowly pulls herself up in the corner. ROBERTO CHARGES IN FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE, AND CAM COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: Cam gets dragged to the middle of the ring, and Roberto traps her in a half Nelson chinlock!
Veena Adams: Can this fuckhead do something else?
Eve: Perhaps he learned a bit in that match with Ronan Malosi, going the route of conserving energy to aid him in taking down his opponent! Cameron starts to fight back again to her feet, and hammers Roberto with shots to the ribs, but he peppers her with a headbutt, and slams her to the mat with a body slam! Roberto seats her up, and tries to run off the ropes with that big boot again! BUT CAMERON LIES DOWN FLAT TO AVOID IT, CATCHING ROBERTO WITH A SCHOOL GIRL!
Deadprez: BUT SHE DOESNT HOLD THE COVER, ROLLING ROBERTO TO ONE KNEE INSTEAD! DE LA ROSA SHOVES HER AWAY THOUGH, AND CAMERON REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! …AVACADABRA! CAMERON CAME BACK WITH THE SHINING WIZARD! NO! ROBERTO DUCKS IT BUT AVA RECOVERS IN TIME AND CAMERON GRABS ROBERTO FROM BEHIND WITH A BACKSLIDE!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH….. CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: SHE BEAT HIM WITH A WRESTLING MOVE! CAMERON SNUCK IN AND TOOK THE MATCH FROM ROBERTO!
(‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli starts to play throughout the arena as Roberto, shocked, rolls out of the ring, slamming the mats on the floor as Esmeralda tends to him. Cameron raises her arms in victory as the crowd cheers.)
Deadprez: Stunning performance from… where are you going Veena?
(Veena Adams throws her headset down on the table and leaves her chair, sliding under the ring ropes unbeknown to a celebrating Cameron.)
Gavin Kirkland: What a woman, putting all her thoughts to one side to help Cameron celebrate. That’s a true Elitist right there!
(With Cameron celebrating, Veena slams into her from behind as the music abruptly stops, boos ringing out over the arena. Cameron is then thrown into the ropes, Veena dropping her with a huge spear.)
Deadprez: Heinous attack from Veena Adams, absolutely no call for that whatsoever!
Eve: But to be expected… and now look at this, Veena Adams stomping down on Cameron Ella Eva. What is the point to this!?
Gavin Kirkland: My love just shows why she is the most dominant female here in EAW. I mean, if no-one is willing to listen, what else can she do?
Deadprez: And you think this is warranted Gavin!? This is jealousy at its best!
Gavin Kirkland: For her to get everyone’s attention? Yes, I do!
(Veena gets to her feet and picks up Cameron, before dropping her with a swinging neck breaker in the center of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Devastating move from my Angel Face!
Eve: Angel Face?
Gavin Kirkland: Jealousy is not an attractive trait Eve. Just because no one has ever loved you like I love my Pookie.
Eve: I honestly don’t know what to say to that… just stop Gavin!
(Veena picks a dazed Cameron to her feet, Cameron throwing a shot out of pure desperation which Veena easily evades, before grabbing her arm and whipping her hard into the turnbuckle, following that up with a stiff forearm that’s drops Cameron so that she is seated in the corner.)
Deadprez: FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYTHING SOMEONE STOP THIS!
Eve: I DON’T THINK SHE IS FINISHED DEADPREZ!
Gavin Kirkland: This is going to be good!
(Veena runs in and crashes into Cameron with a Bronco Buster, driving any energy Cameron had left from her body, she then turns, and slaps her ass, taunting Cameron who has no answer.)
Gavin Kirkland: To be Cameron right now…
(Veena then thrusts backwards, shoving her ass into Cameron’s face, a huge grin over her face and the crowd boos even more, till finally she steps away, calling for a microphone.)
Gavin Kirkland: And now she is going to speak. This is a wonderful day guys!
Eve: For you maybe, for the rest of us, this sucks and uncalled for!
Deadprez: Veena with something obviously on her mind… Cameron rolling out of the ring and to the outside. She’s gone Ladies and Gentlemen, a victim of what can only be called an assault.
Gavin Kirkland: Shush, the Queen is about to speak.
(Veena lifts the mic, and the crowd intensify their boos, trying to put her off. Veena just chuckles to herself, absolutely enjoying the attention. She pays them no heed whatsoever, but notices Roberto De La Rosa who has been watching this all transpire with a huge smile on his face.)
Veena Adams: You like that huh RO-BER-TO?
(Roberto nods, raising his hands up to applaud.)
Veena Adams: You should, seeing as I just did what you couldn’t, loser!
(Roberto doesn’t like that quite so much and starts to back up the ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: My girl throwing truth bombs yet again!
Eve: Can you two just get a room already?
Gavin Kirkland: I wish!
(Veena looks over the ropes, looking down at a still out of it Cameron Ella Eva.)
Veena Adams: I told you, in fact I told you all. I’m done waiting. My time is NOW, and I said this a long time ago, EAW will always be about ME.
(De La Rosa reaches the top, watching Veena take what was supposed to be his moment. He shakes his head, before heading to the back.)
Veena Adams: THIS Cameron, is just a taste of what I am capable of. I WILL rule Elite Answers Wrestling because I am Veena Adams. And NO ONE can stop me.
(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande starts to play as Veena holds her arms out by her side, embracing the boos and jeers thrown her way.)
Gavin Kirkland: YAAAAS QUEEN!!!
Eve: I feel sick just watching this!
Deadprez: Veena Adam making her statement tonight, and you can bet that when Cameron watches this back, she’ll respond in kind. Cameron Ella Ava is not a woman to be messed with, and I hope Veena Adam’s realizes what she may have done!
Gavin Kirkland: Of course, she does. Everything Veena Adams does is for a reason. Cameron is a former Champion and like Roberto said, she is a perfect way to make a statement. Cameron would be best to leave it be, before it gets a whole lot worse.
(With the crowd still booing, and Veena’s music still playing we cut to the back where Roberto De La Rosa is walking down the corridor, obviously still annoyed by the defeat. He turns the corner, stopping abruptly, as stood in his way is none other than Abel Atami. They stare at each other, neither giving an inch, the atmosphere between the two almost electric, until Abel smirks and his eyes narrow.)
Abel Atami: You’re not the only one with eyes on that Hardcore Title.
(Roberto is about to reply, but Abel says nothing more and walks away, Roberto watching him go. Now it is Roberto’s turn for his eyes to narrow, knowing that to get what he wants, he would have to fight… fading into a commercial.)
(The EAW Showdown broadcast slowly fades back to ringside, as the camera pans towards the center of the ring – to where we see Gina Romano standing there, holding a blue EAW-branded microphone to her lips.)
Gina Romano: The following contest has a twenty minute time limit and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: And it is a King of Elite Quarterfinals Match!!!
(‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell hits the speakers, as the crowd suddenly blares out into cheers. The entire audience would stand on their feet upon seeing the tournament favorite’s name appear on the titantron. Adam Lucas steps through the jet-black curtains, with a grin on his face. He obviously knows his opponent well, and knows what exactly the match would be like – yet he looks prepared. Prepared for a match full of cheating, and fuckery; it’s no secret that it’s an inevitability. Adam Lucas walks down the ramp, as the crowd continues to cheer.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… hailing from New York City, New York… weighing in at 231 pounds… ADAM… LUUUUUUCAAAAAAAAAAAS!!
Eve: And here enters the former Hardcore Champion! He was able to defeat “The Uno Champ Kid” Jonny Airhart in the very first round of this tournament, and now he has to go up against Big Money Ronan Malosi, someone who very clearly thinks out his approach to these kinds of matches! But Adam Lucas quite clearly, as we have seen countless times prior to this match, is the perfect anti-venom to a great plan. It takes a lot more than wishful thinking and an intense game plan to take this man out, and take him out for good. He’s more than likely one of the most resilient men on this roster, as we’ve seen him in multiple life or death scenarios… and we’ve seen him SURVIVE.
(Adam Lucas slides up onto the apron, before quickly bouncing up to his feet; casting a pose down the hardcam, with it pulling back far out into the crowd almost instantly. The crowd would cheer at Adam, some kids in the audience doing his pose along with him with a glow in their eyes as their favorite superstar stands in front of them. Adam slips back into the ring, before heading up to the top rope, as he poses once again. Before long, his theme song would slowly fade out, only to be replaced by ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky. The crowd suddenly comes to a crashing halt, as the cheers are suddenly replaced by a large chorus of boos, and jeers, which is almost a given in every Ronan Malosi match. The crowd would turn their attention to the stage… however….)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent…
(Ronan doesn’t show up…)
Gina Romano: Weighing… huh?
(The theme song fades out.)
Eve: And… here doesn’t come Ronan? I said he was a man of tactics, and that’s the highest praise I will ever give him… but I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s been known to run away from a tough challenge-
???: Adam! Adaaaaam!
(The crowd would begin to turn their heads, as they hear a familiar voice through the speakers.)
Ronan Malosi: Adam, up here!
(Adam Lucas turns his head.)
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) What are you doing?
Ronan Malosi: Shut up, Adam.
Crowd: :dahell:
(Ronan Malosi is seen walking down through the stairs in the arena, high up in the crowd.)
Ronan Malosi: Now you see, Adam – though I consider myself to be humble, and selfless – I wanted to give myself some “Roney Time” before this match, if you will. Because I have some things to say!
(The crowd do not stop booing, however, Ronan pays them no notice.)
Ronan Malosi: Now, Adam, you’re good. We all know that you’re a former Midcore Champion, a former PURE Champion, and we both know you’ve beat the best wrestlers you can possibly beat. I mean, you beat DEDEDE… even though you needed Banks to win. Let’s not forget that DEDEDE had to use luck to beat me. :russ: But, back on track – that is one hell of a stat, believe me, it is! But, sadly, I’m better. You know I am. They know I am. And soon, it’ll only be the truth, only be FACT. Because whilst you aimlessly got your biggest win, I’ll soon get my biggest win on my own! And I’ll do it…
(…)
Ronan Malosi: By beating you at your own game.
Crowd: BOOOOO-
Deadprez: Oh God! Here come the Dogs of War!! Sliding in behind Adam, both Westin and Ashton run up and hit forearms to the back of his head, completely laying him out! Adam collapses into the centre of the ring, before these two begin to stomp on his grounded body, whilst Ronan Malosi laughs as he hops the barricade! Adam just got blindsided by Ronan’s cronies!
Gavin Kirkland: Ronan definitely came here with a plan, as his two goons grab Adam Lucas by the head, and connect with a huge manoeuvre; Westin Scott lifts Adam into the air with a Back Suplex, before throwing him into a neckbreaker by Ashton Hale! Adam Lcuas just got flattened, as Ronan Malosi grabs the referee by the shirt!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Listen here, pal….
(Ronan pulls out $20…)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Ring that bell, now!
Referee: (off-mic) I mean… it’s more than they pay me.
(The referee stuffs the $20 bill in his shirt pocket, and rings the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This is wrong! This is so wrong! Ronan Malosi just blindsided Adam Lucas, hired the referee to ring the bell before he was even ready, and now he kneels down and begins to unleash a rapid amount of forearms to his skull! This is fucked up, especially for Ronan. What kind of a man does that? I’m sure he would say “a winner” or “the best kind”, but I’d call him a God damn coward; and that is exactly what he is! A damn coward! Adam Lucas did not have a fair chance at the start of this match, and that’s just because Ronan Malosi didn’t want to face him one on one, with that bullshit excuse.
Gavin Kirkland: Coward? I prefer the term connoisseur. Connoisseur of the new Martial Art – the usage of the brain! Ronan has the brawn, and the brain, and this is the perfect tactic for a man like him! I say genius! A good man always has more good men behind him, and that’s what he used to his advantage. I say, it’s fair! All is fair when it comes to scenarios like this, Eve, and I can say it worked. Ronan grabs Adam by the hair, lifting him off the mat, before throwing him over into the corner! He sprints forward… BEFORE… connecting with as huge… headlock?
Deadprez: You’re right there, Gavin, he was able to get him in the headlock, as the EAW audience starts to boo… BUT IT’S NOT BEFORE LONG WHEN HE RUNS FORWARD AND DRIVES HIS HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! That was innovative stuff from Ronan, I must say, as he shoots the half and slowly – but surely – places his opponent Adam Lucas in a pinning predicament, putting him in a position that could be close to loss!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWW-
Deadprez: But it’s only a two count over here, which must suck for Ronan Malosi! I don’t expect him to be a very patient man, nor do I expect him to be a man who would ever doubt his own ability, so the fact he hasn’t won this early on despite his… master plan… could be infuriating to him! But he seeks to hold onto hope, hope in his own ability… God why does he get frustrated so easily? *sigh.* Ronan Malosi grabs Adam again, only this time, he obviously seeks to deal more damage than he did previously! Ronan places Adam’s arm over his head… BEFORE DELIVERING A HUGE ROLLING RELEASE SUPLEX!
Eve: That Rolling Release Suplex dealt a shit ton of damage toward his opponent, but you gotta wonder; would Adam have countered if those two goons didn’t get in his way? If the Dogs of War had stayed backstage, and Ronan had made his entrance, would this match have started differently? I believe so, yet, it is what it is. Ronan doesn’t allow Adam Lucas to stay down, as he grabs him by the feet, and rolls him back up to them! Adam remains bent down, as Ronan then goes… FOR ANOTHER ROLLING RELEASE SUPLEX! TWO IN A ROW! HE LOOKS FOR THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: Goatan Malosi pushes Adam Lucas by his heels once again, which rolls him back up to his feet a second time – the same move he just used a few seconds prior – as he hooks Adam by the head again! He lifts Adam for another Rolling Release Suplex… BUT ADAM ESCAPES! He lands on his feet behind Ronan, before delivering a huge discus punch to the back of the head, which sends Ronan stumbling forward into the ropes! Ronan bounces off them, as other Goatdam Lucas hooks the waist… FOR A QUICK GERMAN SUPLEX!
Deadprez: But it’s not entirely enough to ground Ronan, as the whiplash sends his body straight back up onto his feet, albeit stunned – giving Adam Lucas enough time to recover back to his feet! He moves forward… before connecting with a huge Step-Up Enzuigiri to the side of Ronan’s head! It isn’t enough to take the skyscraper of a man off his feet, but I have a feeling this move just might… BAM! RUNNING LARIAT, WORKS EVERY TIME! THE BIG MAN FALLS, AS ADAM NOW STUMBLES FORWARD INTO THE CORNER! NOW THROUGH THE ROPES!
Eve: Oh my, he’s looking for that patented Buckshot Lariat here- BUT WAIT! THEY’RE BACK AGAIN! RUNNING FROM RONAN’S CORNER, ASHTON HALE AND WESTIN SCOTT- MISS! ADAM LEAPS BEFORE THEY CAN SWEEP THE LEG, AND THEY BUMP INTO EACH OTHER, AS ADAM NOW LEAPS THE ROPES… BUCKSHOT LARIAT- DEATH RO-
Deadprez: BOTH MOVES DENIED, AS RONAN WAS ABLE TO COUNTER THE BUCKSHOT WITH DEATH-RO, ONLY FOR ADAM TO BACKFLIP OUT OF IT… INTO A SIT-OUT PILEDRIVER, SPIKING RONAN ON HIS HEAD! BUT HE HOLDS ONTO THE WAIST! ADAM LUCAS PULLS RONAN BACK UP!
Eve: They both begin to stumble back up into a standing position now, as Adam Lucas remains held onto the waist! He spins Ronan Malosi out, before pulling him back… INTO THE HIP-TOSS CRADLE PILEDRIVER… WHICH CONNECTS PERFECTLY! ‘HONOR BOMB’ CONNECTS, AS HE NOW ENTERS THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Eve: But sadly, Ronan Malosi is able to push his shoulder right off the mat in the nick of time, saving his opportunity ahead of the King of Elite semi finals – seeing as he wants to win this tournament like no other! It’s an admirable craving, to say the very least.
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely correct, Eve, it is admirable that he wants this match so badly, but Adam Lucas may want it more. These two have introduced a great gameplan here, with Ronan Malosi using his hired men as a great way to out-think Adam Lucas, whereas Adam Lucas is applying his God-given resilience and heart to fight back! It really is great to see, but you have to wonder which one of these two wants this match more than the other. I guess we’re about to find out, as Ronan Malosi is pulled up to his feet by Adam Lucas!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas then pushes Ronan into the corner, prior to delivering a huge chop to the chest… yet… he isn’t done! Adam Lucas begins to unbutton that fake Versace, before opening his chest open bare… AND CHOPPING HIM AGAIN! THIS TIME RONAN MALOSI FALLS TO HIS KNEES IN PAIN, WHEREAS ADAM LUCAS HITS THE ROPES… AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT! Ronan Malosi slips onto his back, whilst still holding his chest in pain! Those three chest hairs aren’t going to be feeling the greatest right now, not at all. As for his head, he’s almost definitely stunned… and it’s only going to get worse from here on out, as Adam grabs him again!
Eve: Adam places his hands behind Ronan’s head, before connecting with some huge overhead punches, almost definitely stunning his opponent! Ronan is getting more and more dazed right now, and that’s obviously what Adam Lucas wanted him to do. Adam obviously wanted him to get groggy, as now he has an opportunity to run back, and connect with another Big Boot that drops him straight onto the mat – in Ronan Malosi’s words – like a bag of quarters at a nightclub! Ronan is completely knocked down, but Adam Lucas isn’t going to back down from dealing even more damage to his downed opponent – because he knows more than that!
Gavin Kirkland: But Ronan Malosi is able to quickly roll out of the ring, just as Adam Lucas turns away and hits the ropes! Ronan had the ring awareness to slip right underneath the bottom rope like water through a crack, and Adam Lucas is almost immediately forced to come to a stop. The Dogs of War are able to embrace Ronan, they know he’s pretty banged up right now, and it’s totally fair to give him some breathing room- BUT WAIT! ADAM LUCAS ISN’T GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN! ADAM LUCAS ALMOST INSTANTLY TURNS AROUND AND HITS THE ROPES, BEFORE RETURNING THE FIRE, AS THAT TLC – TENDER LOVING CARE – TURNS INTO SOME BTA – BEATING THAT ASS – WITH ADAM LUCAS PERFORMING A SUICIDE DIVE ONTO ALL THREE… ALL TWO***!!! RONAN MALOSI THROWS THE OTHERS AHEAD OF HIM!
Deadprez: RONAN REALLY IS A COWARD! HE ALLOWED HIS CRONIES TO TAKE THE FULL FORCE OF THAT TOPE SUICIDA, AND ACTIVELY AVOIDED ALL DAMAGE! RONAN LITERALLY USED THEM AS MEAT SHIELDS WITHOUT THEM EVEN REALIZING, AND I DON’T EVEN THINK ADAM LUCAS HAS REALIZED EITHER!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) HEY, YOGHURT!
(CRACK!)
Deadprez: OH JEEZ! RONAN THROWS ADAM LUCAS SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THAT STEEL STEP, ALMOST BREAKING IT ON IMPACT! ADAM INSTANTLY GRABS THE ARM, BUT HE ISN’T DOWN FOR LONG AS RONAN GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE RING! RONAN ENTERS A COVER!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: But Adam Lucas is able to kick out! Not before Ronan Malosi quickly uses his cagefighting experience, as he locks in an Armbar, however! That’s more than likely a tactic he learned back in the day! Keep them down, then break their arms!
Eve: But it’s not too effective! Despite the fact Adam Lucas badly hurt his arm on the outside, he’s too smart when it comes to technical moves, as he’s easily able to slip out by inverting his body position and pulling his arm! Ronan got too cocky, as they both get up… BOOT FROM ADAM LUCAS! RONAN MALOSI JUST GOT ROCKED! ADAM LUCAS ISN’T FINISHED THERE, THOUGH, AS HE FINISHES IT UP WITH A STINGER SPLASH STRAIGHT INTO THE CORNER! RONAN MALOSI IS DAZED, AS ADAM LUCAS NOW RUNS ACROSS THE RING, HITTING THE TURNBUCKLES- VERTIGO! THE SWINGING BACK SUPLEX CONNECTS, AND NOW RONAN COVERS!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: YET IT’S NO USE! Ronan used that Vertigo out of nowhere, to full effect, yet still it didn’t fully work, it didn’t come into play as his winning move! And the second he realizes this, he groans, and slams the mat in anger – more importantly, looks to rush straight to the finish line. He wants it to be over, and he wants it to be over as soon as possible! He can’t waste any more seconds in the ring with someone like Adam, or else it’s going to be bad news. Ronan grabs ahold of Adam Lucas’ hair…
Eve: And he looks to hit him… WITH DEATH-RO! HE GRABS ADAM LUCAS BY THE WRIST, TIGHT AS TIGHT CAN BE, BEFORE PULLING HIM UP… AND TOWARDS HIMSELF… DENIED! SUPERMAN FOREARM RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF RONAN MALOSI, DROPS HIM TO HIS KNEES! ADAM NOW LIFTS HIM UP, LOOKING TO DELIVER THAT POP UP POWERBOMB, BY THROWING RONAN STRAIGHT INTO THE ROPES AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO A REBOUND… YES! HE HAS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS- NO! JUST BEFORE ADAM LOOKS TO HIT THE POWERBOMB, RONAN GRABS THE TOP TURNBUCKLE… AND NOW BEGINS TO UNHOOK IT!
Referee: (off-mic) HALT!
Eve: NO! REF, STOP! THE REFEREE IS TURNING HIS ATTENTION TOWARD THE TURNBUCKLES, AND IS COMPLETELY IGNORING RONAN MALOSI! RONAN IS SCAVENGING THROUGH HIS POCKET, BEFORE PULLING OUT THAT CHAIN WE’VE SEEN HIM USE MULTIPLE TIMES! HE RUNS UP TO ADAM LUCAS, AND CLOBBERS HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH THAT METAL! ADAM LUCAS FALLS DOWN, UNCONSCIOUS DUE TO RONAN MALOSI’S ATTACK! RONAN MALOSI HAS JUST STOLEN HIS WAY TO VICTORY, HE HAS STOLEN HIS WAY INTO THE NEXT ROUND OF THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT, PERHAPS INTO THE FINALS OF THE WHOLE THING IF HE PLAYS HIS CARDS RIGHT- WHAT THE?
(Suddenly, a chair slides into the ring.)
Ashton Hale: (off-mic) Ah shit… BOSS, I SWEAR, BAD TIMING!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) ARE YOU KIDDING ME, ASHTON!??
(Ronan Malosi bends down, and picks up the chair.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) I TOLD YOU, ASHTON; ONLY WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT-
(Though… the referee recovers.)
Eve: YES! THE REFEREE NOTICES THE CHAIR IN HAND, HE’S GOING TO CONFISCATE THAT WEAPON!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) WAIT! I JUST CAUGHT IT! IT’S ON THOSE TWO!
Referee: (off-mic) *sigh.* Ashton! Westin! GET OUT OF HERE!
(Suddenly, Ashton and Westin would begin to freak out on the outside – though, Ronan Malosi seems calm, subtly hiding the chain in his pocket. The Dogs of War turn around and walk up the ramp, whereas Ronan turns to face Adam Lucas…)
Eve: OH JESUS! LEAPING HURRICANRANA STRAIGHT INTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! ADAM HAS TO USE ONE HAND TO MAKE IT WORK, BUT HE’S TRYING! HE’S ATTEMPTING TO RIP THAT ARM RIGHT OFF OF RONAN MALOSI’S BODY, OR, LOOKING TO CHOKE HIM OUT! RONAN COULD TAP RIGHT HERE ALL BECAUSE OF HIS CRONIES GETTING INVOLVED IN THE MATCH!!!
Deadprez: RONAN IS PANICKING, HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IS NOWHERE NEAR THE ROPES! RONAN HAS NO OTHER OPTION…
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HE TAPS!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ADAM… LUCAS!!!!
(‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell hits the speakers, as Adam Lucas slowly lets go of the Triangle Choke. The crowd would burst into a rapid succession of cheers, giving Adam a round of applause, and praising him for his victory once again in this tournament. Adam Lucas obviously has an overjoyed look on his face, though with hair covering portions of it, as well as being on the ground. Moments later the referee would grab him by the hand, and despite all odds against him, Adam Lucas was able to overcome them – his hand being raised in the very end.)
Eve: What a fairytale story Adam Lucas has had so far in this tournament! He was seen as the favorite to win it, yet somehow, the odds were stacked against him. Most men would crumble, especially under Ronan’s pressure, however, Adam Lucas was able to push through, and come out on top, just as he always does, continuing this streak of good moments tonight!
Deadprez: Oh, definitely! Ronan Malosi and his goons were trying to figure out ways to come out on top from the moment the bell had rung, even beforehand, and at the last second they miscommunicated. Though Ronan successfully avoided suspicion and placed the blame on his men, it completely backfired.
Gavin Kirkland: And we can’t say that about Ronan often! He’s a man of many schemes, of many tricks, and most of them work. Tonight was just his night, tonight was Adam’s night, as he continues forward in this hellacious tournament! Only two more matches to go for this rising superstar.
(Adam Lucas celebrates on the top rope momentarily, as the broadcast fades to commercial break.)
(A commercial for Spider-Man: No Way Home begins to play, as Ronan Malosi sits in the background – he attempted to spoil the movie, but instead, got spoiled himself.)
(After the commercial break, the scene opens backstage with Kyra Phillips as she stands there with none other than the General Manager of Showdown, Hurricane Hawk.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here with none other than the General Manager of Showdown, Hurricane Hawk. You wanted this time to speak?
Hurricane Hawk: Yes, Kyra thank you, I have obviously been on camera a lot more than what I wish to be honest, I want to run Showdown and allow for the Elitists on the brand to compete, challenge for championship and overall practice their trade as big things are about to happen. But since the beginning of the year and even before it, we have been seeing a lot of wrestlers getting hurt by vicious attacks, I already laid it down on Pandora Paisley earlier, shame to because such a great talent, along with the new ones we signed like the veteran Lucas Knight who we saw earlier tonight, Aurora Monroe who is an impressive specimen and yes, the Ice Aces and ARIA who will compete in her first Main Event tonight. But this is getting out of hand. Charlie Marr just hurt Amir Yusuf and from what I am getting according to the Doctor’s Amir could be out 4-6 weeks which means he will miss King of Elite and could possibly miss Dia Del Diablo. It sucks and Charlie Marr will be reprimanded for it.
Kyra Phillips: We now know who the two finalists for the King of Elite are on the Showdown side of things. It is Charlie Marr taking on Adam Lucas. The winner will Main Event the King of Elite in a Triple Threat against the winners of Dynasty and Voltage. With what Charlie Marr did. How are you going to reprimand him?
(After a deep sigh, Hurricane Hawk shakes his head….)
Hurricane Hawk: Unfortunately, Charlie Marr is giving me no choice, and so I am giving Adam Lucas the win by forfeit as Charlie Marr is susp….
(But before he can finish the sentence, a very sweaty and beat up Adam Lucas quickly intervenes…)
Adam Lucas: NO! I know that you are trying to do your job boss, but NO! It sucks that Charlie hurt Amir; he didn’t deserve that. It sucks Lethal Consequences is out, what happened to Usagi Senshi, the constant attacks we have been seeing here lately but I cannot accept just a pass to the King of Elite Finals, I won’t. I need to earn it and that means I have to face Charlie Marr next week.
Hurricane Hawk: I’m sorry Adam, but the roster needs to be held accountable for their actions!
Adam Lucas: I get it, I really do but I’m not waltzing into King of Elite like this. I need to wrestle Charlie. If he beats me, then he deserves to be in the finals. If I win, there is no better way than to show that I deserve to be there. Hawk, come on man!
(Hawk thinks for a moment while Kyra Phillips looks on, he then nods.)
Hurricane Hawk: Fine, you have your match next week, it will be you against Charlie Marr in the Semi-Finals to determine who will represent Showdown in the King of Elite triple threat. We won it last year, I plan to win it again this year.
Adam Lucas: We will and…..
(This time though Adam is interrupted by a familiar voice, he turns to come face to face with Charlie Marr.)
Charlie Marr: … And you’ll do what, mate? You’re a smart man, for not going along with this shit show that Hawk just tried to pull, and I respect you for that. BUT… you should have taken the win and had your glory at King of Elite, because I have been there before, matter of fact I defeated your fiancé to get into the finals, gave that cunt her very first singles loss and….
(Adam rushes Charlie at the sound of him calling Bethany a derogatory name but Hawk quickly gets in between both, and Adam calms down and backs off….)
Charlie Marr: I gotta admit, I don’t know what a fine piece like her sees in you, but to be fair, when I pinned her, I grabbed a lot of her ass and I can see why you would want to put a ring on it…..
Hurricane Hawk: CHARLIE! ENOUGH! LEAVE NOW OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!
(Charlie smirks, before it disappears, glaring right into the eyes of Adam Lucas….)
Charlie Marr: See you next week, sunshine.
Adam Lucas: Count it, fella.
(Charlie slowly starts to back away, Kyra Phillips tries to get a word with Adam….)
Kyra Phillips: Adam….
Adam Lucas: Not now Kyra.
(He walks off the other way as she turns to Hurricane Hawk who clearly has a headache. The scene Fades to the last commercial break of the night before the Main Event begins.)
(“DESTINY” by Saori Yoshida begins to play through the speakers as the crowd gives a nice ovation to ARIA. ARIA is soaking in the reception of the crowd as she does her pose and makes her way down the ramp, tagging the hands of the fans along the way.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING WITH TV TIME REMAINING AND IT’S A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE FIRST TEAM…FIRST FROM CHANDLER, ARIZONA… SHE IS “THE SACRED DETECTIVE”…ARIA!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Main event time is here as we’re going to have the Specialists Championship competitors teaming up with the Answers World Championship competitors! I think that the million-dollar question in this is…CAN THEY CO-EXIST?!??!
Eve: It’s up in the air! I mean, we all saw how the Dynasty main event unfolded last night, but I don’t think that Hawk is willing to tolerate this main event getting out of hand! WE WRESTLE on Showdown, not get into fights!
Deadprez: ARIA has been someone who has been growing to become a fan favorite since her arrival in EAW. She got an opportunity at the Specialists Championship after defeating multiple Showdown newcomers for a unique opportunity at the Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular!
(“Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart replace “DESTINY” as the crowd explodes in a negative reception as the Specialists Champion, Harper Lee walks out feeling quite confident in herself. She stands next to ARIA, at the bottom of the ramp, raising the title high above her head as ARIA takes a good look of the title that she’ll be competing for.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER PARTNER…FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA…SHE IS THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… THE “WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR”…HARPER LEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee really doesn’t take ARIA seriously. It seems like she just sees ARIA as a title defense, not a credible contender for the Specialists Championship.I can see that could be a reason why they have conflicts.
Eve: Harper Lee defeated Miku Sakai at Road to Redemption to win the Specialists Champion and already, it seems like she has gotten comfortable with the gold on her shoulder.
Deadprez: Gold does that to you, Eve. Not only that, but Harper Lee thinks that she’s the best and that nothing is going to stop her from being the best champion that she can possibly be. I feel like they may have a better chance of getting along than their opponents.
(“Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by Tupac plays through the speakers as the crowd explodes out of their seats as TLA comes out in a low rider with the Canadian flag on it because he respects them Canadians, eh?)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…FIRST RESIDING IN THE POON PALACE IN MIAMI, FLORDIA…WEIGHING IN 210 POUNDS… “LA PANTERA SEXUAL”…TLA!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE NEXT ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION.
Eve: Are you REALLY confident about that, Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: Look, I wouldn’t care if it’s Kassidy’s own husband facing her at King of Elite, I don’t want anyone touching ‘The Ace’s’ record. :will:
Deadprez: TLA has always been a fan favorite in whatever brand he walks into. I mean, this crowd is completely unglued as he walks out! Perhaps, the people see themselves in TLA? I don’t know, but they just love the guy! He will not let things be a repeat of Midsummer Massacre. I mean, if he doesn’t win the first fall at King of Elite, there’s always the second one.
Gavin Kirkland: Two out of three falls – the first one is a standard wrestling match, the second fall is an ‘I Quit’ match and if we make it to a third, it’s going to be a Texas Deathmatch. I just see all of this getting ugly.
(“Monster” by Kanye West begins to play through the speakers as the crowd isn’t showing the Answers World Champion any love, but she rolls her eyes, clearly not amused with the situation that she is, but if there is something that she loves more than her title and husband, it’s winning, so she’s willing to put her differences with TLA to the side to win.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS PARTNER…FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA…SHE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…KING KASS!!!!!!!!
Eve: This woman has had a hold over the Showdown scenery for about ten months now. She has been a constant face in the main event scene and no one has been able to take her down. She’s defeated some amazing names in this company and it’s reached a point, where people are wondering who else can get the job done?
Deadprez: This woman has been unbeatable for ten months and the crowd just hates that about her, but King Kass gets results. She keeps that title and she gets better and better reach time she wrestlers. TLA has a lot of work at King of Elite, but I have no idea who walks out of that match as champion!
Gavin Kirkland: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZz1b8_WkAMPxWU?format=jpg&name=small
Gavin Kirkland: Should have been Consuela Rose Ava. Should have been Jamie O’Hara. Should have been Limmy Monaghan. Should have been Impact. Should have been Theron Nikolas. It should have been TLA and it’s GOING TO BE TLA AT KING OF ELITE I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT –
Eve: Gavin, calm down! We don’t need your blood pressure going up again!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This main event is underway! It seems like TLA will be beginning things for his team while ARIA will be beginning things for her team. The two Elitists are circling around, looking for an opening to go for the lock-up. ARIA goes for the lock-up but –
(ARIA straightens herself up, looking at TLA before extending a handshake to the number one contender for the Answers World Championship. Clearly, you can see behind TLA that King Kass isn’t amused whatsoever, but she keeps a straight face. Harper Lee is just telling ARIA to get on with the match.)
Deadprez: It’s in the nature of ARIA to extend a handshake before competing in the match. The crowd seems to be encouraging TLA to accept her handshake, but what is TLA thinking?
Gavin Kirkland: AND…he ACCEPTS ARIA’s handshake as the crowd applauds the wonderful act of sportsmanship that probably wants to make Harper Lee vomit, bUT SOON AFTER TLA QUICKLY GETS ARIA IN A HEADLOCK, BUT ARIA IS ABLE TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE HEADLOCK AS SHE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! TLA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A HIP TOSS, BUT ARIA LANDS ON HER FEET AS SHE JUMPS AND GETS TLA BY HIS NECK TO CONNECT WITH A SNAPMARE! ARIA REBOUNDS OFF THE SET OF ROPES IN FRONT OF TLA, LOOKING TO GO FOR A SHINING WIZARD, BUT TLA DUCKS AND PROCEEDS TO ROLL UP ARIA! IS HE GOING TO END THIS MATCH QUICKLY?
OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!
Eve: No! ARIA gets herself out of the roll-up attempt and up to her feet! She jumps towards TLA with double knees but proceeds to connect with a monkey flip, but TLA manages to land on his feet! ARIA seems to be quite impressed as the crowd is totally in awe of the athletic ability of ‘La Pantera Sexual.’ ARIA finds her way back to her feet as TLA turns around! ARIA runs toward TLA, ready to throw a punch, but TLA catches her fist before throwing a punch to her gut! This causes the younger woman to clutch her stomach in response as TLA proceeds to throw another punch to her forehead and another one and another one! He pushes ARIA over to the perpendicular set of ropes before getting possession of her arm! He whips her, but ARIA manages to counter the whip, sending TLA rebounding off the set of ropes in front of them –
Deadprez: TLA swings himself through the ropes, almost like if he were to connect with a tiger feint kick, but pauses and rests on his side before clutching his fist, pounding on his chest before raising that same fist up in the air! Tranquillo, ladies, and gentlemen! I feel like TLA may be showboating a little bit here and the crowd’s reception of it has been amazing so far! I swear TLA is one of the most beloved Elitists on the Showdown roster! Meanwhile, ARIA forms a small smile on her face as she allows for TLA to have his little moment before resuming his match!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA has really busted his ass off with keeping a calm demeanor. Yes, there have been occasions, where he does get out of hand, but inside the ring, he knows when to get rid of that comedy side of his and focus on wrestling. It’s something that the she-devil who is his partner tonight needs to look forward to at King of Elite. TLA gets off the ropes and stares down at ARIA! ARIA charges forward, looking to connect with a spinning heel kick, but TLA ducks before hoisting her up horizontally, spinning her up and placing her on one of her shoulders! HE HAS HIS EYES ON ONE OF THE CORNERS ACROSS FROM HARPER LEE BEFORE THROWING ARIA TOWARDS ONE OF THE CORNERS FOR A LAWN DART, BUT ARIA SLIDES OFF THE SHOULDER OF TLA AND PUSHES ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ TO THAT CORNER BEFORE ROLLING HIM UP! IS ARIA GOING TO ESCAPE WITH A VICTORY HERE?!?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
Eve: NO! TLA manages to get himself out of the roll-up attempt! But, he gets a good position of ARIA’s waist before throwing her back with a German suplex! But, ARIA lands on her feet! TLA turns himself around before ARIA springboards herself off the second rope and takes TLA down with a headscissors takedown! TLA finds himself draped on the second rope, inches away from ARIA and Harper Lee’s corner! ARIA hops over the top rope and stands on the side of TLA and it seems like ARIA is going to hit him with a knee strike! Yes! Knee strike to the side of TLA’s head as that takes him back inside the ring! ARIA goes for the top rope as –
Referee: TAG!
(The reception of the crowd booing is heard in the crowd as Harper Lee tags herself into the match. While Harper wants nothing to do in this match, she isn’t opposed to getting a bit of the glory for herself. She and ARIA look at each other. The kindness in ARIA’s nature is preventing her from saying something. It’s obvious that the moment they argue, their chances of winning go down the drain. Instead of responding, ARIA allows for Harper to enter the match and for her to take Harper’s spot at the corner.)
Deadprez: I nearly thought that there was going to be an argument there. The whole theme with these main events is “CAN THEY CO-EXIST?” but I’m just waiting for one of these teams to combust. It’s obvious that Harper Lee has a bit of an ego. King Kass has an ego in herself and while TLA has let the fans gas him up quite a bit. It seems like the only one that has a calm and leveled head is ARIA.
Gavin Kirkland: I honestly agree with that and honestly, I am more than anticipating the day that Kassidy Heart gets humbled and I am praying to the gods that Ximena Velasquez and Roberto De La Rosa believe in to make sure that King of Elite is that day.
Eve: Harper Lee makes herself known in this match as she races to cover TLA with a hook of the leg!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: NO! TLA kicks out quickly as Harper Lee sits TLA up and begins to jab elbows to the side of TLA’s neck! The Specialists Champion helps TLA to his feet before getting him from his chin and connecting with an uppercut, sending TLA back! Harper pulls TLA by his arm, kicking him in the ribs! She rebounds herself off the parallel set of ropes, going for an axe kick, but TLA spins himself back to his feet, kicking Harper in the stomach before pulling her closer to him! HE HOISTS HARPER UP AND CONNECTS WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX! BUT, HE MANAGES POSSESSION OF HARPER AS HE TWISTS HIMSELF AROUND AND GETS UP TO HIS FEET! HE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER VERTICAL SUPLEX ON HARPER, BUT HE MAINTAINS POSSESSION OF THE CHAMPION BEFORE TWISTING HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE CONNECTS WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX FOR A THIRD VERTICAL SUPLEX! THIS TIME, HE RELEASES THE HOLD AND FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee shortly finds her way back to her feet, but she’s clutching onto her back! TLA runs towards the ‘Woman Without Fear’ with a headscizzors takedown, which sends her back to one of the corners! TLA doesn’t waste any time as he races towards that same corner that Harper is at! He connects with a running uppercut as Harper is stumbling forward, but TLA catches her with a superkick that sends Harper to her back! TLA with the cover on Harper!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Eve: Harper Lee with a kick out! Well, this match is still young, but TLA grabs Harper with a fistful of her hair before approaching his corner with King Kass! Um, it seems like she’s on the same boat as Harper and wants nothing to do with her tag team partner, but I don’t think that many people clearly understand how much she loves to win and I mean, she LOVES to win!
Referee: TAG!
(Just like they did with Harper Lee, the crowd’s booing intensifies the second that King Kass enters the ring. She grabs a hold of the hair that TLA previously had a grasp on and slams Harper back. The back of Harper’s head crashes against the mat as she clutches onto it.)
Deadprez: King Kass isn’t truly happy about this match, but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t willing to put in some effort when it comes to winning. Her victories are something that she happens to be prideful about, so any sort of blemish with that is going to get underneath her skin. At least, that is what it seems to be with me. She delivers a stomp to the side of Harper Lee’s head before holding it there for a second! Oh god, I cannot imagine the pressure that Harper’s head is feeling at the moment. King Kass is 138.5 pounds of woman, so I don’t expect that to be pleasant at all.
Gavin Kirkland: Are you sure she’s a woman? I look at her and I feel like I’m looking at the female version of Lucifer. She’s been able to do some things that no one should be able to witness. Thankfully, the referee is going to begin his count, so that King Kass can get her foot off of Harper’s skull.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: Right away, King Kass gets off of Harper Lee. She doesn’t want to risk getting herself disqualified. Are there even disqualifications in tag team matches?
Deadprez: Honestly, it’s Showdown. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was something added on this season like the whole time limits and draws. While it has created a bit of intrigue, it’s also left me a bit confused. King Kass gets Harper Lee by her hair again, BUT OUT OF NOWHERE, HARPER STRENGTHS HERSELF UP AND DELIVERS AN OPEN-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! I’M NOT SURE THAT WAS THE WISEST THING FOR HARPER TO DO IN THIS SITUATION! YOU DO NOT WANT TO ANGER THE ‘KING.’
Gavin Kirkland: I disagree, I want for people to anger that false ‘King.’ BUT, KASSIDY HEART RETALIATES WITH AN EVEN HARSHER OPEN-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! THIS CAUSES HARPER LEE TO YELP IN PAIN, HOLDING ONTO HER CHEST, BUT SHE QUICKLY THROWS A PUNCH TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY! KASSIDY THROWS A PUNCH TO HARPER! HARPER WITH A PUNCH BACK TO KASSIDY! KASSIDY WITH A PUNCH BACK TO HARPER! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE THROWING PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER, NOT HOLDING BACK WHATSOEVER! Harper connects with a punch to Kassidy before rebounding herself off the set of ropes, but Kassidy connects with a big boot that she took from her husband, Mr. DEDEDE. It’s called ‘Rapture’ or something.
Eve: Yes, it’s called the ‘Rapture,’ Gavin! It’s enough to cause Harper Lee to drop to the ground! Now, Kassidy Heart gets Harper by her hair before throwing her into the corner! Kassidy charges towards the Specialists Champion with a running uppercut as that nails Harper underneath her chin! This causes Harper to sit on the second rope before Kassidy begins to stomp on the ribs of the ‘Woman Without Fear!’ This causes for Harper to collapse down at the corner, which causes for Kassidy to take a step back before connecting with a facewash on Harper! Kassidy gets Harper by her neck and snapmares her! Kassidy applies a chinlock, looking to keep Harper down!
Deadprez: Harper Lee is trying to get a grasp of King Kass’ arms which are grasping onto her neck, but King Kass adds onto the pressure, locking in that chinlock! There’s a bit of trouble on the look on Harper’s face! It’s one of those rare scenarios where King Kass’ isn’t the lightest person in the ring. I think that Harper’s 118 pounds to Kassidy’s 138.5 and yes, I need to bring up the half in that weight just in case I get yelled at for being inaccurate! While there may be a sign of struggle on Harper’s face, you can see that she’s really trying to get herself to her feet! She’s trying to grasp onto her feet on the mat, forcing herself up to her feet, but King Kass still has Harper in a chinlock, but Harper begins to use her available arm to elbow Kassidy in the ribs! Harper continues to elbow Kassidy in the ribs as that causes for Kassidy to release her grasp!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE TURNS HERSELF AROUND BEFORE SHE NAILING THE SHE-DEVIL WITH SOME PRECISE KICKS TO THE RIGHT ARM OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! HARPER TAKES ONE STEP BACK BEFORE LOOKING TO KICK KASSIDY’S HEAD OFF, BUT ‘THE MAULER’ DUCKS HER HEAD BEFORE PICKING UP HARPER AND THROWING HER OVER HER HEAD! KASSIDY HEART TURNS AROUND AS HARPER CHARGES AT THE WORLD CHAMPION WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT KASSIDY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING HERSELF OFF THE SECOND ROPE, TAKING HARPER DOWN WITH SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! KASSIDY WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWW–
Eve: Harper Lee raises her arm up, lifting up her shoulder in the process! But, King Kass clutches Harper’s arm and bends it over her head! Kassidy Heart takes a step back before she delivers a malicious stomp to Harper’s right arm! This causes Harper to wiggle in pain, but King Kass bends Harper’s arm back before stomping on it once again! This causes the referee to intervene as King Kass is shaking her head! The referee is checking on Harper, but Harper, while clutching her right arm, finds her way back to her feet! Harper showing some of the spirits that captured her the Specialists Championship back at Road to Redemption! With Harper finding her way back to her feet, Kassidy sees that as an opening to resume this match up! She clubs the back of Harper’s head before following that up with a straightjacket suplex! ‘Chanel N°5’ on Harper!
Deadprez: Harper Lee is shown clutching the back of her neck as it seems like that straightjacket suplex took some of the energy out of her! Harper begins to back herself to one of the corners, but King Kass sees her opening as she looks to go for that helluva kick, the ‘Rapture’ at Harper! Before King Kass could nail Harper with her boot, Harper drops to the mat! King Kass manages to stop her momentum as Harper slides towards one of Kassidy’s legs, sweeping it down as the Answers World Champion falls face first! But, it seems like Harper still has possession of Kassidy’s left leg! Is Harper looking to apply the calf crusher on the ‘King?’
Gavin Kirkland: ‘Devil’s Fruit’ is the name of the calf crusher as Harper Lee looks to apply the submission hold on the false champion! But, Kassidy Heart turns herself to her back and looks to kick Harper away using her right foot, but Harper gets a grasp of Kassidy’s right foot! Harper has her back faced against one of the corners as the Specialists Champion catapults Kassidy onto the turnbuckle! Damn, that hit Kassidy right in the kisser as she falls back, but Harper, who is already on her feet manages to get Kassidy and connect with a snapdragon suplex on her! Kassidy rolls onto her knees as Harper notices that as soon as she turns herself around!
Eve: HARPER LEE CHARGES TOWARDS KING KASS WITH A METEORA AS SHE ROLLS HER UP IN THE PROCESS! IS HARPER GOING TO GET A GIANT VICTORY OVER THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWW–
Deadprez: No! King Kass kicks herself and Harper Lee away from her! Harper is looking a bit fired up as she backs herself against the corner and it’s her team’s corner! It seems like Harper is looking to take down the Answers World Champion with a knee strike –
Referee: TAG!
(The look on Harper Lee’s face goes red at the sight of ARIA tagging Harper on the shoulder, allowing her back into the match. ARIA seems a bit shy about doing that, but she really wants to test herself against a World Champion and saw it as a decent opening to do that. The two women who will be fighting for the Specialists Championship at King of Elite look at each other, but instead of saying something, Harper rolls herself out of the ring and views this match at ringside with her arms folded across her chest.)
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like Harper Lee is looking to cool herself a bit. Perhaps to Harper, she had the situation under control. She had Kassidy Heart where she wanted her! I don’t blame how Harper responded to what ARIA did. At the same time, it’s almost payback for Harper tagging herself into the match! But, why would anyone want to enter the ring and face Kassidy? That’s almost like a death wish. I don’t care how many years of experience you have underneath your belt, but facing Kassidy is like picking out your own grave. It never ends pretty for whoever faces her.
Eve: ARIA throws a punch to King Kass, BUT KING KASS CATCHES HER PUNCH ALMOST TO EFFORTLESSLY BEFORE THROWING A KICK TO ARIA’S GUT! KING KASS HOISTS UP THE NEWER ELITIST UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, WHICH SENDS ARIA ACROSS THE RING! ARIA TRIES TO USE THE ROPES TO HELP HER UP TO HER FEET AS SHE FINDS HERSELF BACK INTO THE CORNER, BUT KING KASS BARELY GIVES THE GIRL TIME TO PROCESS THE SITUATION AROUND HER BY HITTING HER WITH A FLYING FOREARM TO THE FACE! King Kass continues to throw some punches, looking to knock down the other woman into a seated position on the bottom rope! Kassidy straightens ARIA up to her feet before getting possession of her wrist and whipping her to the other set of ropes! ARIA goes flying to the other set of ropes as ARIA rebounds off them, sliding in between the legs of the World Champion and it seems like ARIA is looking to roll up Kassidy!
Deadprez: ARIA manages to roll King Kass, but Kass finds a way back to her feet! She nails a dropkick to ARIA’s face! Kassidy is up to her feet before following up that dropkick with a fist drop to ARIA’s face! This causes the younger woman to wiggle like a fish, but King Kass turns ARIA to her stomach and it seems like she’s going to connect with a camel clutch on ‘The Detective.’ Oh geez, that doesn’t look to be pleasant whatsoever! ARIA finds herself in some trouble as King Kass has that move locked in! ARIA is in a world of pain at the moment as King Kass wrenches in ARIA’s neck back! The referee is reaching out to ARIA, seeing if she wants to submit and call it a day, but ARIA is saying “no.” ARIA wants to continue to fight on! She was the one who asked for this fight and she’s not looking to throw in the towel!
Crowd: LETS GO, ARIA! LETS GO, ARIA! LET’S GO, ARIA!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart is clearly not amused by the reception that ARIA is getting from the EAW Universe. This only causes for Kassidy to pull back on that camel clutch, forcing ARIA to yelp in pain even more! The crowd is beginning to stomp, hoping to feed ARIA some of their energy to get back into this match! Meanwhile, Kassidy shakes her head as she transitions that camel clutch to a legscissors around the arms of ARIA! It’s always great to see Kassidy go from one submission hold to another one! ARIA continues to cry out in pain as she’s struggling to get herself to her feet!
Eve: ARIA is trying to shift her body to her left and get herself back on her feet, but King Kass gets ARIA back into position! ARIA tries to shift her body back, trying to pin the shoulders of the Answers World Champion! But, Kassidy is able to realize what ARIA had tried to do and lefts her shoulders up! Kassidy tries to grab ARIA by her neck and hold it back towards her! This does not look good for ARIA whatsoever! It makes me wonder what ARIA is going to need to do to get herself out of this situation! SHE IS TRYING TO LIFT HER LEGS UP AND MOVE THEM OVER HER HEAD! THERE’S A BIT OF A STRUGGLE, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO GET HER LEGS OVER HER HEAD! AT THE SAME TIME, SHE COUNTERS WITH A PIN ATTEMPT AS SHE HAS THE CHAMPION’S SHOULDERS PINNED TO THE MAT!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Deadprez: King Kass bridges herself out of the pin attention and spins herself around! ARIA nails Kassidy with a kick to the stomach as she pulls Kassidy closer to her! ARIA follows that up with a tornado ddt, laying out the Answers World Champion! ARIA does a handspring before nailing Kassidy in the chest with a knee drop! The newcomer goes for the cover on the ‘King!’
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Gavin Kirkland: The false ‘King’ with a powerful kick out! ARIA finds her way to her feet as she’s gesturing for Kassidy Heart to rise back to her feet! At the first sign of Kassidy getting to her feet, ARIA nails ‘The Mauler’ with a switchblade kick, knocking her down in the process. ARIA takes a step back into the corner, her eyes glued on the Answers World Champion as –
(Once again, the crowd is showering in boos as Harper Lee tags herself back into the match. This time, you can see the annoyed look on ARIA’s face, who wasn’t expecting to get tagged out of the match by Harper. Harper gestures for ARIA to get back to the corner and let Harper inside the ring.)
Eve: KING KASS RISES BACK TO HER FEET AND SEES THE OPENING AS SHE SHOVES HARPER LEE INTO ARIA AND GOES FOR THE COVER! IS KING KASS GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY RIGHT HERE?!?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: No! Harper Lee manages to roll out of the pin fall attempt! She is the first one back to her feet as King Kass follows shortly after! Harper takes ‘The Mauler’ down with a slingblade! She finds her way back to her feet! She is demanding for Kassidy to get back to her feet, but as Kassidy finds her way into a crawling position, Harper connects with a basement dropkick to the side of Kassidy’s skull! This causes her to roll to her back in the process! Harper gets Kassidy up with a fistfull of Kassidy’s short hair! She throws the Answers World Champion skull first into the turnbuckles! Harper throws a series of punches before taking a step back and hitting the ‘King’ with roundhouse kick to the face!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE SEES THAT KASSIDY HEART IS STANDING HERSELF BACK UP AS HARPER SPRINGBOARDS HER FOOT AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROCKET KICK TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY! THE KICK WAS SO AGGRESSIVE, IT KNOCKS KASSIDY OVER THE TOP ROPE AS SHE LANDS ON THE APRON! HARPER EXITS THE RING TO JOIN KASSIDY ON THE APRON! SHE RUNS TOWARDS KASSIDY WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF HER SKULL AS THAT KNOCKS KASSIDY TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Okay, this is the first time that this match has been taken to ringside and it seems like Harper is going to take advantage of the situation! Harper sees that Kassidy is slowly getting to her feet and goes after Harper, but Harper with an apron kick as that sends the World Champion back! Harper has her sights set on the false ‘King’ as –
Eve: SOMERSAULT CLOTHESLINE TO THE OUTSIDE! KING KASS GOES DOWN ONCE AGAIN, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE CROWD ISN’T TOO HAPPY WITH HARPER LEE AT THE MOMENT! HARPER HAS HER ARMS OUT IN CONFIDENCE AS SHE’S TOTALLY LOVING THE RECEPTION OF THE CROWD! BUT, IF I WERE HARPER, I WOULD LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON INSIDE THE RING!
Deadprez: TLA LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND NAILS A SUICIDE DIVE ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!!! THE CROWD IS ELECTRIC IN THE SCOTIABANK ARENA!!!!! BUT, LOOK AT THE RING AGAIN, GUYS!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMS LIKE ARIA IS GOING TO BE JOINING IN ON ALL THE FUN AS SHE IS POSITIONED ON THE TOP ROPE! A DIVING CROSSBODY ONTO KASSIDY HEART AND HARPER LEE! I DON’T THINK THAT ARIA MEANT TO HIT HARPER, BUT HARPER JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE WAY OF ALL OF THAT! ARIA IS ON HER FEET AS SHE’S HYPING UP THE CROWD! TLA and ARIA are the two illegal people in this match up! Before all of this fun began, it was Harper and Kassidy who were wrestling inside the ring! ARIA sees Kassidy getting up to her feet and by the look on her face, I don’t think that Kassidy finds much enjoyment in ARIA getting her shine in. ARIA is begging for Kassidy to fight her right now, but Harper knocks Kassidy down, hitting her against the steel steps!
Eve: The referee demands for both TLA and ARIA to get back to their respective corners! He’s trying to regain some control of this match! Harper gets King Kass by her head and slams her forehead first against the hard part of the apron! Harper goes for a second time, but Kassidy manages to stop her forehead from colliding with the steel steps by placing her hands against the apron! Then, she gets Harper from the back of her head and begins to slam her over and over again against the hard part of the apron!
Deadprez: I don’t know about Harper Lee, but that probably made her a bit dizzy as King Kass shoves the Specialists Champion to the side! King Kass goes to retrieve Harper, but HARPER SHOVES THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AWAY FROM HER, BUT KASS RUSHES TO HARPER, BUT HARPER CONNECTS WITH A DROP TOEHOLD AS SHE APPLIES THE ‘DEVIL’S FRUIT’ ON THE WORLD CHAMPION! KASS IS GRINDING HER TEETH AS SHE’S TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF NOT TO SUBMIT! THIS MOVE IS BEING APPLIED AT RINGSIDE, SO IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF SHE DOES SUBMIT.
Gavin Kirkland: But, Kassidy Heart hasn’t tapped during her tenure in EAW. Odds are, not at all, so it must be some mental game with her not to submit and give her opponents that satisfaction! Harper Lee has that leg bent back as the foot is touching the top of the false King’s head! Harper is basically forming a bridge with the bottom of her feet as she adds on to the pressure of the ‘Devil’s Fruit!’ Kassidy is trying to turn her body, clutching to the skirt of the ring apron! She’s trying to pull her body up, grabbing to the base of the apron but –
Eve: TLA IS ON THE APRON AS HE DELIVERS A FLYING KNEE STRIKE AS THAT TAKES THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION BACK! HE CAME FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IN A CLUTCH THERE. I DON’T THINK SHE NEEDED IT, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF TLA WASN’T THERE TO HELP HER OUT! The knee strike takes him out of the ring, but he manages to land on his feet! TLA rolls Kassidy inside the ring as he throws Harper soon after! TLA goes back to his corner as he begins to stomp and extend his hand out! You can see the fire in the number one contender for the Answers World Champion’s eyes! He wants the smoke! He wants more of this match! You can see Kassidy shaking her head as she tags TLA back into the match!
Referee: TAG!
Deadprez: THE WHOLE ARENA IS UNGLUED AS ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ HOP OVER THE TOP ROPE! ARIA DRAGS HARPER LEE BY HER FOOT AND REACHES DOWN TO TAG HERSELF INTO THE MATCH!
Referee: TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like we are beginning things off with how we started this main event! The number one contender for the Specialists Championship squaring off against the number one contender for the Answers World Championship! ARIA THROWS A PUNCH TO TLA! TLA THROWS A PUNCH TO ARIA! ARIA THROWS A PUNCH TO TLA! TLA THROWS A PUNCH TO ARIA! ARIA! TLA! ARIA! TLA! ARIA! ARIA! ARIA! ARIA BACKS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BACK INTO THE PERPENDIUCLAR SET OF ROPES, BUT TLA REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM AND DROPS ARIA DOWN WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! ARIA SPINS AROUND LIKE A TOP AS TLA GOES FOR THE COVER HERE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Eve: A kick out from ARIA! But, TLA has a good grasp of ARIA’s legs as he turns her to her stomach! HE KEEPS POSSESSION OF HER LEGS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE ‘AR15,’ THAT LASSO FROM EL PASSO! THIS TIME, THE MOVE GETS APPLIED AS ARIA BEGINS TO SCREAM OUT IN PAIN! YOU CAN TELL THAT ARIA IS CONTEMPLATING ON WHAT SHE SHOULD DO AT THIS POINT IN THE MATCH! SHE HAS HER EYES TOWARDS HARPER LEE AT THEIR CORNER! ARIA IS DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A TAG OR SOME SORT OF HELP FROM HARPER! SHE’S DRAGGING HER BODY WITH HER NAILS! ARIA IS LITERALLY DRAGGING HER NAILS TO HER CORNER AS HARPER LOOKS LIKE SHE’S MORE THAN READY FOR THE TAG! I THINK THAT HARPER IS GOING TO WANT THIS MOMENT FOR HERSELF! ARIA IS GETTING CLOSER AS –
Deadprez: THAT BITCH HARPER LEE JUST DROPPED DOWN FROM THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: I think that the heart of that poor woman just dropped to the ground with any other chance of winning this match!
Crowd: FUCK YOU, HARPER! FUCK YOU, HARPER! FUCK YOU, HARPER!
Eve: I believe that the crowd is really letting her have it as Harper Lee just brushes off the negative chant from the crowd as she watches ARIA literally get fed to the wolves! TLA releases the submission hold as he can see it in the eyes of ‘The Mauler’ that she wants in the match! I mean, this must be a tempting scenario with watching a precious little lamb be unaware that it’s going to get slaughtered!
Referee: TAG!
Deadprez: I think that TLA knows where his best chances of winning this match lie and that is letting King Kass get her way! ARIA has the top half of her body draped against the second rope as she’s looking back at Harper Lee with a cold glare on her face, demanding her to step closer to her! Sadly, it seems like she’s not aware that King Kass is standing behind her, but it seems like she’s going to realize that soon as –
Gavin Kirkland: KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF ARIA’S HEAD AS KASSIDY HEART FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! KASSIDY BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE FACE OF ‘THE SACRED DETECTIVE!’ I mean, it doesn’t take a detective to see that things aren’t going well for ARIA here! Kassidy sees that ARIA is trying to find herself in a crawling position, but Kassidy runs towards the younger woman, nailing her with a kick to the ribs! THAT TAKES ARIA TO HER BACK AS SHE PICKS UP THE YOUNG WOMAN EFFORTLESSLY, HOISTING HER UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION BEFORE THROWING HER TO ONE OF THE CORNERS! ‘HELLOFRESH’ ON ARIA! USE CODE ‘KINGKASS’ FOR 15% OFF YOUR NEXT ORDER!
Eve: You hate her, but you still promoted that, huh?
Gavin Kirkland: I can be unbiased sometimes.
Deadprez: ARIA LANDS ON THE BACK OF HER NECK AWKWARDLY AS SHE FALLS INTO A CRAWLING POSITION! KING KASS REBOUNDS HERSELF OFF THE SET OF ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’ – THE CURB STOMP NAILS ARIA IN THE SKULL AS KASS GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ALL SHE WROTE?!??!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTT–
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA grabs onto the bottom rope at the last second! King Kass is doing her best to contain her anger! All she needs to focus on is putting ARIA and with Harper Lee basically watching ARIA get mauled by the Answers World Champion, it’s safe to say that ARIA is on her own at this point! Kassidy Heart pulls ARIA away from that bottom rope! KASSIDY IS STALKING ARIA TO HER FEET AS IT SEEMS LIKE KASSIDY COULD BE LOOKING FOR ‘GAWD’S GIFT!’ NORMALLY, THIS IS AN AVALANCHE CROSS ARMBREAKER, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE KASSIDY IS GOING TO CREATE HER OWN MOMENTUM AS SHE RUNS TOWARDS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP! KASSIDY RUNS TO ARIA –
Eve: NO! ARIA USED ARIA’S MOMENTUM AGAINST THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AS SHE GETS KING KASS BY HER ARM, SPINS HER AROUND UNTIL SHE’S ON HER STOMACH AS SHE LOCKS IN THE ‘ARIA OF EXPERTISE!’ THIS IS ARIA’S VARIATION OF THE CHICKENWING OVER THE SHOULDER CROSSFACE! HARPER LEE’S ATTENTION IS FINALLY SET ON ARIA IN THE RING AS ARIA IS LOOKING THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION DEAD IN THE EYE AS SHE LOCKS IN THE SUBMISSION HOLD ON KING KASS! IS ARIA REALLY GOING TO MAKE KASSIDY HEART SUBMIT HERE?
Deadprez: NO! FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE REFEREE IS INFORMING ARIA THAT KING KASS’ FOOT IS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AS HE’S DEMANDING ARIA TO RELEASE THE HOLD! IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING TO BEGIN HIS COUNT HERE!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! RELEASE THE HOLD, ARIA!
Gavin Kirkland: I really thought that ARIA had Kassidy Heart there.
Eve: I think everyone in this arena did, but that right there is why King Kass is the Answers World Champion and longest-reigning Answers World Champion in history! She could probably be the longest-reigning World Champion of all-time if she makes it out of King of Elite alive!
Deadprez: ARIA is forced to release the hold as she looks towards Harper Lee who is all smug on the outside! Harper is giving ARIA a sarcastic clap, which is somewhat getting underneath the skin of ARIA, but she refuses to show it! Despite this being an awful situation to be in, ARIA is holding her own so far! BUT, KING KASS FROM BEHIND! A CLUB TO ARIA’S HEAD AS SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A STRAIGHTJACKET SUPLEX! ‘CHANEL N°5’ CONNECTS! KASSIDY COULD HAVE GONE FOR THE COVER, BUT SHE’S HERE TO MAKE A POINT OUT OF HER OWN AS SHE LOOKS AT TLA BEFORE APPLYING THE ‘THE LOUIS VUITTON OF WRESTLING MOVES’ ON ARIA!
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON, ARIA! HOLD ON! KING KASS HAS HER EYES LOCKED ON HER OPPONENT AT KING OF ELITE AS SHE APPLIES THAT SUBMISSION HOLD! ARIA IS SCRAMBLING AND UNSURE OF WHAT SHE SHOULD DO!
Eve: ARIA SUBMITS! ARIA SUBMITS! SHE COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE AS THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL!!! KING KASS AND TLA ARE VICTORIOUS!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Monster” blasts through the speakers as the crowd boos at the result of the match. While a part of the crowd is happy that TLA’s team won the match, a lot are not happy with the fact that King Kass was the one that picked up the victory and at the expense of a woman who is shaping up to be a fan favorite on Showdown like ARIA. King Kass demands for her title as the referee hands it to her. She raises the title high in the air, relishing in the victory.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNERS OF THIS MATCH…THE TEAM OF TLA AND THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…KING KASS!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT A MAIN EVENT! WHAT A WAR WITH THESE FOUR ELITISTS! EVEN FROM HARPER LEE, WHO DID BAIL AT THE LAST MOMENTS OF THE MATCH, BUT ARIA HELD HER OWN FOR AS LONG AS SHE DID, BUT WHEN KING KASS LOCKS IN ONE OF THOSE SUBMISSION MOVES, IT’S OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: That massive cunt, Harper Lee fed ARIA to the wolves. I’m not saying that they would have won if they remained on the same page, but I felt like this match would have lasted a tad longer, but in the end, King Kass locked in ‘The Louis Vuitton of Wrestling Moves’ and that’s all it took to end the match!
Eve: Like her or hate her, but King Kass produces the results and she’s one of the best for a reason. There hasn’t been anyone who has been able to knock her out of her throne in the past ten months. If she makes it past King of Elite, she passes the longest-reigning World Champion record of 323-days, which was set by Jamie O’Hara back in Grand Rampage 2017 as it lasted until Brooklyn Heights in 2018.
(ARIA is resting in one of the corners, clutching her neck as TLA walks over to her, offering her a hand to help her back up. She accepts the hand as the crowd applauds the two on the wonderful sportsmanship. King Kass is focused on exiting the ring and making her way into the back, but –)
Deadprez: KING KASS SMASHES TLA’S HEAD WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! ARIA GOES TO RETALIATE, BUT KASSIDY HEART SLAMS THE TITLE ON THE FACE OF ARIA! THIS ISN’T COOL AT ALL! TLA AND ARIA WERE HAVING A MOMENT OF RESPECT AND KING KASS RUINED THAT!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Couldn’t that fucking cunt just take her victory and go away? Now, she places the Answers World Championship on the bottom of TLA’s skull! She takes a step back before rebounding herself off the ropes and connecting with a ‘Painfully Ever After’ on TLA! The title collided with his skull where the mat would have done the job! King Kass kneels down to TLA’s level before retrieving her title and raising it above her head! To add insult to injury, she places her boot on top of TLA’s skull as the EAW Universe is really letting Kassidy Heart have it!
(Harper Lee is grinning at the sight of her King of Elite opponent, ARIA laid flat out at ringside. She rolls her eyes at King Kass standing tall, but at least, she didn’t catch herself in that mess. Meanwhile, inside the ring, King Kass stands tall as that closes Showdown.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
