(EAW intro plays…)
( RECAP – The “SHOWDOWN” logo sting is lit up on the screen. The show begins with the contract signing of Impact vs. Theron Nikolas at King Of Elite. Impact gets the last laugh by slamming Theron Nikolas through the table. The first match sees Aurora Munroe defeating Lucas Knight and Olver Taylor in her debut. Harper Lee shows no interest in teaming with ARIA hours before their main event. For the second match of the night, Pandora Paisley picks up a victory over Ayu Megumi via Jonny Airhart’s distraction. The newly formed duo proceeds to carry out a post-match assault on Megumi. Frustrated with their nonsense, Hurricane Hawk fines Paisley $22,000. He then makes an announcement that the episode after King Of Elite will be a SPECIAL Showdown phenomenon. It will see a main event between SEROTONIN and the ICE ACES to settle the next challengers for The Haircare King’s EAW Unified Tag Team Championships. Next, Charlie Marr defeats Amir Yusuf to advance to the Showdown finals for the King Of Elite tournament and injures Amir Yusuf’s left knee after the match. In a backstage segment, Roberto De La Rosa voices his intentions to become EAW Hardcore Champion before he is ruthlessly blindsided by Limmy Monaghan. Cameron Ella Ava’s post-match celebration of her victory over Roberto De La Rosa does not last long as Veena Adams attacks her from behind. Adam Lucas submits Ronan Malosi to meet Charlie Marr at the Showdown King Of Elite finals. In the main event, the question “Can They Co-Exist” is to be answered. EAW Specialists Champion Harper Lee joins forces with her King Of Elite challenger, ARIA to go up against EAW Answers World Champion Kassidy Heart and her King Of Elite opponent, TLA in a blockbuster main event. After Harper Lee abandons the match, ARIA is unable to remain alive and Kassidy Heart picks up the victory for her ring. Afterwards, Kassidy Heart interrupts ARIA and TLA’s exchange of respect by slamming her championship belt into them. The last image of the show is Kassidy Heart standing tall over them with Harper Lee smirking in the background. )
( “Brick Wall” by A Day To Remember blasts through the speakers of the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Colourful fireworks shoot up and down on the stage while it is overpowered with unified “WE WRESTLE” chants. The camera pans throughout various crowd sections before it makes its way to the announce table with Gavin Kirkland, Eve, and Deadprez.)
Deadprez: WE-
Gavin Kirkland: WELCUM TO ANOTHA EPISODE OF SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!! WOOOO!! WAAH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! WE ARE LIVE HERE IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH!!

THE SCOTIABANK ARENA, HERE IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA! WELCOME TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!Deadprez: I-
Gavin Kirkland: WELCOME TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!! THE MOST PANEER NIGHT IN ALL OF WRESTLING!Deadprez: It’s Premiere, not Paneer.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, my bad. Mexican food is all up in my mind.
Eve: That’s not.. Anyways! Like he said so correctly and thoughtfully! We are proud to host another episode of the top-tier premiere wrestling brand in all of Elite Answers Wrestling! We are almost two weeks away from King Of Elite and three weeks away from one of the first-ever special Showdown episodes! We have a huge match card lined up for you all! Lucas Knight and Aurora Monroe join forces against Abel Atami and Roberto De La Rosa in a Strange Bedfellows Match! Theron Nikolas squares off against Ronan Malosi! Harper Lee has a huge opportunity to score a career-defining victory over Impact! The winner of Usagi Senshi versus Jonny AIrhart chooses the stipulation for their Super Showdown face-off! In the main event, the Showdown finalist is to be set between Charlie Marr and Adam Lucas? Who will represent Showdown at King of Elite? We will have to see!
Gavin Kirkland: I got this. SO, FIRST!! LET’S SEE WHAT THE DAMN MANNEQUIN HAS TO GOT TO SAY BEFORE SHE LOSES TO TLA!!
(The EAW broadcast continues to pan around the arena momentarily, showing all of the audience members primed for a great show, jumping up and down inside of the blue lighting that is plastered all over the arena seating areas, inside of the United Center, Chicago Illinois. Eventually, however, this excitement would erupt into a large chorus of boos, as the recognizable ‘Monster’ by Kanye West begins to blare through the speakers set up all around the arena. Kassidy Heart walks out, dripped out in what appears to be very expensive clothing – specifically shorts and a belt that would cost a lot more than many people’s houses – with the even more expensive, even priceless Answers World Championship wrapped around her waist. She begins to walk down the ramp, heading towards the ring.)
Eve: And to start us off tonight, none other than our very own Answers World Champion has something to say – which, as always, is going to entice absolutely everybody, regardless of their opinion on her as a wrestler, even a person. If there’s one thing Kassidy Heart can do, it’s gather an audience.
Gavin Kirkland: And break my damn heart. First Jamie, then TLA, then Limmy, then like everyone. I can’t take it. Luckily, I have my faith in TLA this time around!
(Kassidy Heart walks up the steel steps, before entering her way into the ring over the middle rope. She makes her pose, down the hardcam, before moving to her left in order to grab a microphone that was resting underneath the bottom rope. Holding it up, she walks to the center of the ring.)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!
Kassidy Heart: Three hundred and one days. 43 weeks. Almost ten months. Something that not only *has* gone down in fucking history, forever, but will continue to do so for as long as I want it to. And, honestly, that’s going to be a long ass time. It’s not going to be anytime soon when I give up the Answers World Championship, nor any other fucking accomplishment, because that’s the entire point. *I won’t STOP making history.* And I know it makes some of you lose sleep at night that your favorite EAW Elitist couldn’t stop the “big bad”, and each and every time it’s a take that completely breezes by me because I couldn’t care less. That’s shit I could take to the grave. I could make you all hate me for the rest of my life, and it’s not something that would stop me. Ever. I’ll say it for as long as I can, I’m better at this professional wrestling thing than anyone is at anything else. I’m not just one of the best athletes, or wrestlers ever, I am one of the best *people* ever, period. And my legacy will be around decades after I’m gone to remind you, and your kids, and your grandkids. For – fucking ever.
(The crowd boos at her comment.)
Kassidy Heart: Because, this legacy of mine? It’s not for the faint of heart. This isn’t shit that you say is pretty good then forget about a week later, no, this is going to be remembered for years. People are going to call back to the moment where I made Jamie O’Hara tap in front of his family, on the biggest stage possible, because I am that damn good. They are going to mention moments where I did the same thing to Elitists like Theron Nikolas, despite fanboys drooling over the idea of HIM being the one to dethrone me. I don’t fucking care how poetic that would be, I surpassed that shit. I surpassed five other Elitists, locked in a fucking cell with me, and still, people want to guess who it’s going to be that takes it all away. I get it. I’ve beaten absolutely everybody, to the point where people need to act cunty and start grasping at straws just to cope with the fact that they all hate me for being too good at this game. People like all of you, sat surrounding me on the edge of your chair just waiting to hear something exit my voice? You hate to see a woman like me succeed. I love it.
Kassidy Heart: If I didn’t exist, *who would be here to deny all of the fan favorites LIKE Jamie, LIKE Limmy… like TLA?* There are only so many times I have to fucking remind him that he’s not good enough to beat me before it starts sinking in as fact, right? Who else can stand here at the height of human attention, all of these lights shining on the endless amount of gold any *true* King should wear, other than me? Other than an Elitist who, one year ago, beat fucking TLA to BECOME King? To continue that winning streak, which continued not for a few months, but for a whole calendar year? Since November of 2020?? And further. Because that isn’t a legacy that dies. So trust me… don’t be disappointed when TLA is facing the lights. *Again.* You have my word-
(Just as Kassidy Heart comes close to ending her sentence, and perhaps ending her speech as a whole, ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac blares through the speaker system, and the endeared-but-hateful silence suddenly transitions into a large quantity of cheers. Walking out in a fitted red suit, with a gold TLA logo on the right side of his torso, The Latin Assassin himself walks out through the curtains, holding a microphone.)
Eve: Speak his name and he appears, here comes TLA on his way down to the ring! The Champion didn’t appreciate being cut off too well, but TLA… well… he knows that all too much, perhaps doing so intentionally!
(TLA would continue to walk down the ramp, with a smug grin on his face. As he walks up the steel steps, and stands on the apron, he begins to talk through the microphone whilst entering the ring.)
TLA: Whoa whoa whoa, relax mujer, no need to start difundiendo mentiras, eh?
(TLA walks up to Kassidy.)
TLA: You didn’t *beat* me at King of Elite, bicho raro. We one-on-one this time. No Captain Calories Xander Payne to disrupt, si?
(TLA chuckles, but as does Kassidy in return.)
Kassidy Heart: I mean, you’re not wrong. On the other hand, Midsummer Massacre…
(Kassidy stares at TLA.)
TLA: Ahaha, I see what you mean amiga, touche touche. But after all, this is a new time. A new year, mi gente. And would you look at that? No bad knee, derecho? You’re making some good points Kass. You not wrong about beating all those names, and even me, but I think we both know that you have never defeated me at 100 %, perra, cien por ciento. But this time? I’m ready. This time? I’m standing on my own two feet, with no tina de grasa or rodilla mala to stop me man – no Xander, no knee. It’s just you, me, and three falls of absolute fucking chaos – are you ready to be ex campeón? I know I am, Kass. I’m ready for that moment, and have been for a long long time. Just as ready as Carti is to make mid music, but the thing is, we ain’t mid in Mexico!
(The crowd cheers.)
TLA: Now believe me, Kass, we gon’ put on a quemador de granero, no doubt about it. I’m sure neither of us will walk the same way before, y me gusta. But by the end of the night, idiota? It will be The Latin Assasin stood tall holding the beautiful, brillante Answers World Championship. Because I’m ready to take my place back as campeón. Don’t worry though, amiga, no te preocupes. Because after all is said and done, you’ll still have a place to go. It’s never empty at the poon palace. :lick:!!!!
(Kassidy Heart stares at TLA, a look of disgust coming over her face, as the entire crowd OOO’s, providing TLA an outlet to boost his ego – as expected, and loved. His cocky smile does not leave his face, until…)
**SLAP!**
Deadprez: OH DAMN! KASSIDY HEART WAS NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT, AS SHE JUST ACTED OUT IN ANGER! A SLAP STRAIGHT TO THE FACE, RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEEKBONE OF TLA’S, AND THAT MUST’VE STUNG PRETTY BADLY AS HE COMPLETELY DROPPED HIS MICROPHONE! TLA DIDN’T EXPECT THAT TO COME HIS WAY, BUT KASS ISN’T FINISHED!
Eve: Kassidy Heart starts to lay in her punches, over, and over, before transitioning into some very brutal, and picture-perfect forearm strikes, that not a lot of people could ever match, no matter the size or strength! Kassidy is completely able to back TLA up into the corner of the ring, whilst still laying into him with these strong strikes! That isn’t it though, as she takes a few steps back… BICYCLE KICK TO THE HEAD! TLA is slouched over right now, and it’s obvious that Kassidy Heart is looking to deal even more damage, perhaps with a running bicycle kick-
Gavin Kirkland: BAM! BOOT TO THE FACE! THE MAULER’S CHAMPIONSHIP COMES UNBUCKLED, AS SHE STARTS TO STUMBLE BACK, AND NOW TLA FIRES BACK WITH FOREARMS OF HIS OWN! TRANSITIONING BETWEEN LEFTS AND RIGHTS, HE FORCES HER BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, WHICH STUNS HER! THIS GIVES TLA ENOUGH TIME TO GRAB HER BY THE HAIR, AND PULL HER INTO… THE VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!
(TLA spikes Kassidy Heart on the very top of her head, and the crowd immediately pops. TLA then instantly stands back up, as he looks in front of him. The sparkles reflected in his direction, coming straight off the Answers World Championship. It entices him. Intrigues him. He hadn’t been this close to the sparkle of a World Championship in… perhaps a few years, and right now, he was able to experience it in full.)
Eve: I don’t think Kass will appreciate this, TLA!
(TLA slowly bends over, before grabbing the championship by the strap. As he does this, the champion herself rolls out of the ring, recovering to her feet on the outside. Moments later, she notices TLA with the title.)
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) PUT THAT FUCKING DOWN, RIGHT NOW!
(TLA stares at Kassidy, with a smirk on his face. He doesn’t want to celebrate just yet. He doesn’t want to raise it into the air, and thus, he slowly rests it down in the center of the ring, not before making it clear that he intends to make it his. As ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ begins to blare through the speakers a second time, TLA stares at Kassidy, before taking a few steps back, and exiting out of the ring. The two lock eyes for a moment, sharing zero signs of respect, or even tolerance towards each other. TLA then starts to exit through the crowd, as the show fades to a commercial break for King of Elite.)
(The camera fades back to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is THE OPENING MATCH ON SHOWDOWN with a twenty minute time limit and it is scheduled for…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Madness” by KSI plays out Abel Atami, who’s joined by Roberto and his wife, Esmeralda, as “Por Mi Mexico” by Lefty SM Ft. Santa Fe Klan plays them out, the team not on good terms given their history.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 472 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Esmeralda De La Rosa..THE TEAM OF ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND ABEL ATAMI!!
Eve: When it comes to these two gentlemen, we know of their history, of course, competing in that ladder match at the Christmas show, which Roberto is proud that Abel did not win.
Deadprez: Yeah, they both seem to carry hatred for each other, and said hatred doesn’t look to simmer down any time soon.
Gavin Kirkland: But it’ll have to tonight, cause the big question is: can they coexist?!
(“Streets” by Doja Cat plays as Aurora Monroe makes her entrance with a white spotlight following her, but once she gets to the end of the ramp, “Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold cuts it off as Lucas Knight joins her ringside, and goes for a disingenuous handshake, which Aurora ignores, causing a smirk to form on the face of Knight.)
Gina Romano: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 390 pounds…THE TEAM OF AURORA MONROE AND LUCAS KNIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: The things I would do to touch just one of that woman‘s abs are..:shaq:
Eve: Unfortunately, I’ve braced myself for your thirst tonight, but it isn’t enough to drown out the heat between these two as we’ve witnessed Lucas Knight attack Aurora.
Deadprez: Just last week, might I add, which leads me to believe that maybe this team is doomed from the start, but who knows? A will to win can make anyone put their differences aside for a few minutes.
(Lucas allows Aurora to start the match off as both Abel and Roberto argue shortly before settling on Atami.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: So, it’ll be Aurora Monroe, and Abel Atami starting things off for their respective teams as Abel tried to charge out that corner with a clothesline, but Aurora ducked underneath, and is now hammering Atami with forearm strikes before bouncing him face first off the top turnbuckle in her corner, reluctantly tagging out to Lucas Knight.
Deadprez: Knight offers Aurora to join him in the corner stomping on Atami, but she’d rather step out onto the apron, which she does. Monroe doesn’t trust Lucas one bit here tonight, and you can’t blame her, but now Lucas tags out again to Aurora, who’s back in, pressing her boot against the face of a corner seated Abel. Aurora stands him up, and sends him to the center of the ring with a release suplex!
**TAG!!**
Eve: Lucas Knight has tagged himself back in, and I don’t think that one was planned between the two as Knight runs of the ropes for a dropkick on Atami, who just sat himself back up. The veteran now goes for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Barely a two count as Abel exploded out of the cover, but from his corner, you can see that Roberto’s a bit annoyed with his partner being in trouble this early on.
Gavin Kirkland: While Abel has been overwhelmed since the start of this all, how does Roberto expect him to compete with that absolute UNIT, Aurora Monroe?! I mean, just look at her…:shaq:
Eve: I’d prefer not to in the way you are, but in regards to Aurora, she does have an incredible physique, which’ll help her stand out if she decides to stick around, and take on the other women on Showdown. But back to the in ring action, Lucas Knight stands Abel up for some sorta body slam maneuver it looked like, but Atami slipped out the back, shoving Lucas forward to create space.
Deadprez: Abel charges at Knight now, who sidesteps, sending Atami off the ropes, and ducking down once he rebounds back the first time, but upon the second, ABEL HAS A BIG BOOT PLANNED, which Lucas ducks underneath, and catches him in a backslide pin!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: Knight kicks out, and both competitors scramble back to their feet, and Abel gets caught with a kick to the midsection, followed up with a tornado DD- NO! Abel shoved Lucas off, and he fell face first on the canvas! Knight gets up to a knee, clutching at his nose and mouth area, BUT HE GETS CAUGHT WITH A SUPERKICK BY ATAMI, WHO MOUNTS HIM WITH PUNCH AFTER PUNCH! The vicious side of this competitor truly coming out after being dominated early on!
Eve: Lucas tried to get the hands up before pushing Atami off, and trying to crawl over to his corner, but Abel utilizes the wise move of dragging him back over to no man’s land, aka his corner with Roberto, who-
**TAG!!**
Eve: Roberto just tagged an unsuspecting Atami on the back, and is pointing him out to the apron, saying he’s not impressed with his partner’s performance. Looks to me like Roberto thinks he can do better as he stands Lucas Knight up, OOH! LUCAS CAUGHT HIM WITH A JAWBREAKER, AND LANDS A BACK ELBOW ON ATAMI, STARTING TO FIGHT HIS WAY OUT OF THE CORNER WITH RAPID FIRE PUNCHES, BACKING ROBERTO UP AGAINST HIS CORNER, AND TAGS OUT TO AURORA!
**TAG!**
Deadprez: Monroe’s back in, and gets shoved back to the center of the ring before she can mount any offense on Roberto, who goozles her with a choke! But before he can go through with a chokeslam, Aurora fought out of it with a kick to the gut that stunned Roberto long enough for her to run off the ropes! AURORA COMES BACK WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH TO TAKE DOWN ROBERTO, WHO STAYS ON HIS FEET! Monroe runs off the ropes again, BUT THERES A BACK ELBOW FROM DE LA ROSA! This is what Roberto brings to the table against Limmy Monaghan, ladies and gentlemen, flat out power, not to mention, brutality.
Gavin Kirkland: But you can best bet Showdown’s top champion in Limmy Monaghan will overcome him!
Eve: Top champion? :comeagain:
Gavin Kirkland: The only one I choose to acknowledge.
Eve: :wow: Roberto makes a cover on Aurora, who got caught pretty bad with that elbow.
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: There’s a kickout by Monroe, who rolls out of the way as Roberto lunged at her with a grounded elbow smash to the face! De La Rosa grabs at his elbow while kneeling, which leaves him open for a few slaps before a suplex attempt from Aurora, but she’s gonna have to do a lot more damage for that to happen as Roberto holds his weight down, and even hoists Monroe up himself. BUT MONROE SLIPS OUT THE BACK, AND STAGGERS OVER TO HER CORNER!
**TAG!!**
Deadprez: That wasn’t much a tag, and more like an open-handed chop to the chest of Lucas, keeping his composure, and brushing off his chest before entering the ring, issuing a smug smirk to Aurora before charging at Roberto with a dropkick once he manages to turn around! Knight drags him closer, and makes the cover!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TW-
Eve: Roberto‘s still in this thing, and Lucas picks him back up! Irish whip to the corner, AND KNIGHT RUNS IN, ONLY TO GET LAUNCHED OVERHEAD ONTO THE APRON BY DE LA ROSA! Roberto turns around into a right hand, but Lucas takes his eye off the prize one second as he notices Abel approaching him as well on the apron, BUT HE MERELY SERVED TO BE A DISTRACTION AS ROBERTO KNOCKED HIM OFF WITH AN ELBOW, much to the delight of Esmeralda ringside, who claps for her husband ringside.
Gavin Kirkland: I’d like to clap something on her mys-
(Eve slaps Gavin upside the head.)
Eve: Have some respect, she’s married, you bozo.
Gavin Kirkland: ..I miss the part where that’s my problem.
Eve: :francis:
Deadprez: Gavin’s creepiness aside, Roberto tags out to Atami.
**TAG!!**
Deadprez: Tension still looks to be lingering, but Abel realizes the task right now is to win this match, and drops down to the outside, rolling Knight back into the ring, and just repeating elbow drops to the heart of Lucas. Abel makes a quick cover, hooking both legs!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Kickout at two, but Abel’s got a plan, wrapping Knight in a rear chinlock as a he sat up, but it isn’t long before Lucas is fighting back to his feet, delivering back elbows to the abdomen of Atami, who responds in tow with elbows to the back of the head before dragging Lucas into his corner with a front facelock.
**TAG!!**
Deadprez: Roberto enters the ring, and delivers a kick to the ribs of Knight, De La Rosa and Atami appearing to finally be on the same page..for the time being at least as Lucas drops down to all fours, clutching at the aforementioned ribs. Roberto props Lucas Knight up in the corner before hurling him halfway across the ring with a biel! Knight picks himself up in the opposite corner, and gets charged into with a corner clothesline, but before he gets a chance to collapse down to the mat, Roberto brings him to the center of the ring, and plants him with a flatliner! De La Rosa shoots the half, and hooks the leg!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Eve: ANOTHER KICKOUT, but that was a close one. Roberto drags Knight back into their corner, and wisely tags out.
**TAG**
Eve: You mentioned them finally appearing to be on the same page, Prez, and that seems to be the case as now they’re just isolating Lucas, this time, Abel plants him with a spike ddt! Cover is made, both legs hooked!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: No matter what, fight remains in Knight it seems, but for how long as Abel lays into him with vicious stomps! Atami delivers a last one, really making sure to grind his boot into the chest of Lucas while stepping on him to get over, and onto the top rope. ABEL DIVES DOWN WITH A SPLASH! But while he considers covering, he opts to tag out again to Roberto!
**TAG**
Eve: De La Rosa’s gonna look to one up that maneuver from Abel as he climbs to the top rope, back facing his opponent…MOONSAULT! How many people with the size, the stature of Roberto can pull that off as all the wind gets taken out of Knight. But again, he doesn’t go for the cover, trapping Knight in a grounded side headlock now, really wrenching on it.
Deadprez: We haven’t seen much of Lucas Knight in the realm of EAW, but it’s situations where we’ll find out a lot about him, more specifically, his resilience, and if he has it in him to fight out of this situation he’s in right now. But I think we’re gonna find the answer to that now as he’s once more fighting back to a vertical base, landing shots to the body of Roberto, loosening that grip. Roberto tries to hoist him up for a back suplex, BUT THERES KNIGHT WITH A POKE TO THE EYE! That’s one thing we’ve learnt about him, he doesn’t mind bending the rules in his favor.
Eve: Roberto places Knight down as he doubles, grabbing at said eye! But out the corner of his, Lucas notices Abel trying to enter the ring, BUT WISELY BIG BOOTS HIM IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Atami falls to the outside, but with his back turnt, Knight gets shoved into the corner by Roberto, WHO BUILDS UP A HEAD OF STEAM, ONLY TO RUN SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST AS KNIGHT NARROWLY GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND FINALLY MAKES THE TAG OUT TO AURORA!
**TAG**
Deadprez: ATAMI ALSO TAGS HIMSELF IN WHILE ROBERTO WAS STILL TANGLED UP IN THE MIDDLE ROPE! BOTH COMPETITORS CHARGE ONE ANOTHER, BUT AURORA DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT LIKE EARLIER, AND DUMPS ABEL ON HIS HEAD WITH A SNAP GERMAN! AURORA NOTICES ROBERTO COMING OUT OF THAT CORNER, AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE POST AGAIN, THIS TIME, ROBERTO TUMBLES TO THE OUTSIDE!
Eve: AURORA TURNS HER ATTENTION BACK TO ATAMI, AND DELIVERS A BICYCLE KICK THAT PUTS HIM ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND DROPS HIM WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB, HOLDING IT FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Kickout by Abel, who remains in the center of the ring while Monroe tags out to Knight.
**TAG!!**
Deadprez: Aurora steps out onto the apron, and the two rivals hold eye contact while Lucas climbs to the top rope, turning attention to Abel now. DIVING ELBOW DROP!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: OOH! ROBERTO JUST YANKED AURORA OFF THE APRON, AND THAT DISTRACTS THE REFEREE FOR A MINUTE AS HE REPRIMANDS THE TWO FOR FIGHTING ON THE OUTSIDE! Aurora stands up off Atami, and watches as Knight counters an Irish whip, sending Roberto shoulder first into the steel steps. BUT FROM BEHIND, ABEL TRIED TO HOOK HER FOR THE FULL NELSON SUPLEX, WHICH HE CALLS EYES OF THE SERPENT, BUT KNIGHT TAGGED AURORA BEFORE HE MOVED HER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Deadprez: LUCAS SNEAKS IN FROM BEHIND WITH HAIL BRITANNIA! THE INVERTED HEADLOCK BACKBREAKER! AURORA NOTICES ROBERTO TRYING TO ENTER THE RING UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND TRIES TO STOP HIM WITH A FRONT FACELOCK WHILE THE COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO JUST BULLDOZED THROUGH AURORA ANYWAY WITH A SPEAR, CAUSING HER TO COLLIDE WITH HER PARTNER, BREAKING UP THE PIN!
Eve: Aurora pulls herself up using the ropes as the two knocked noggins, but meets a very unhappy Knight, who’s telling her off, saying he had the match one, BUT HE GETS SHOVED INTO MONROE, KNOCKING HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND ROLLED UP WITH A SCHOOL BOY!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEE-
Deadprez: OOH! ABEL ALMOST HAD HIM AS BOTH SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET WITH KNIGHT STAGGERING BACK INTO HIS CORNER!
**TAG!!**
Deadprez: AURORA MADE A BLIND TAG, ENTERING THE RING AS KNIGHT JUST TURNED HER AROUND, THE DUO ARGUING! Lucas has been trying to keep this professional throughout, but clearly tensions are boiling here.
Eve: A SHOVE BY KNIGHT SENDS AURORA INTO EYES OF THE SERPENT SET UP! ONCE AGAIN, THAT FULL NELSON IS IN! BUT ROBERTO SLIDES INTO THE RING!
Deadprez: CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM DE LA ROSA TURNS OUT TO BE A FAIL AS AURORA DUCKED UNDERNEATH, AND HE HIT HIS OWN PARTNER! ABEL HAS BEEN DOWNED!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto turns around to notice Monroe though, AND QUICKLY DROPS HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT DOES CONNECT, TURNING HIS COMPETITION INSIDE OUT!
Eve: Roberto starts to lift up, Abel, looking to still win this thing, and hopefully bring his partner back to life. BUT ABEL SHOVES ROBERTO BACK! He definitely took that clothesline to be personal!
Deadprez: But Roberto isn’t gonna let that fly, and shoves Atami as well, the two get into a shoving contest! BUT AURORA SHOWS SOME WITS, PUSHING ROBERTO INTO ABEL, CAUSING BOTH OF THEM TO GO DOWN AS THEY KNOCKED HEADS!
Eve: Roberto rolls out of the ring, and Roberto favors his forehead, but unbeknownst to him, Aurora climbs to the top rope, AND DIVES OFF WITH BOREALIS! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS, TAKING ALL THE WIND OUT OF ATAMI’S SAILS!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNERS…THE TEAM OF AURORA MONROE, AND LUCAS KNIGHT!
(Mixed reactions reign down as “Streets” by Doja Cat plays, some respecting that Aurora beat two opponents on her own tonight.)
Eve: It’s clear neither competitors in this match liked each other tonight, but turns out, the distaste it seems that Knight has for Aurora was too strong for him to continue.
Deadprez: I think the pin break up had Knight frustrated, which caused his temper to flare, but that’s still no excuse for abandoning your partner like that.
Gavin Kirkland: Didn’t matter anyways, cause this AMAZONIAN took down those two meatheads on her own!
Eve: Yeah, I’ll give her credit, that was awfully impressive, and you gotta think that somewhere Lucas Knight is happy, having just scored a victory without having to put in nearly as much work.
Deadprez: He may be happy for now, but once Aurora finds him to seek her revenge for her attack, and now this incident, who’s to say that’ll still be the case?
(Aurora starts to head to the back, a mixture of happy, and angry, keeping Lucas Knight’s walkout in the back of her mind. But in the ring, Abel Atami sits up, holding his ribs as he slowly gets to his feet.)
Eve: ROBERTO! ROBERTO JUST POUNCED ON ABEL AFTER HE SAT UP, AND IS HAMMERING HIM WITH PUNCHES, AND ELBOWS, ABEL DOING HIS BEST TO COVER UP!
Deadprez: SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE MEN WAS THAT ROBERTO ACTUALLY HAD THE PATIENCE TO WAIT TIL AFTER MATCH AS NOW ABEL IS GETTING THE HELL BEATEN OUT OF HIM!
Eve: DE LA ROSA AGGRESSIVELY STANDS HIM UP, AND DELIVERS A FLURRY OF FOREARMS BEFORE PUMMELING ABEL DOWN TO A KNEE WITH RIGHTS!
Deadprez: ESMERALDA WATCHES RINGSIDE, LOVING THE BRUTALITY SHES SEEING OUT OF HER HUSBAND!
Eve: YEAH, BUT SHES NOT LOVING THIS AS ABEL ATAMI STARTS TO FIGHT BACK, DRIVING ROBERTO INTO THE CORNER WITH A SPEAR, AND STARTS TO LAND PUNCHES ALL OVER THE HEAD AND BODY! ROBERTO SHOVES ABEL AWAY!
Deadprez: BUT ABEL WALKS RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT THAT CAUSES HIM TO STUMBLE BEFORE HE RESPONDS BACK WITH A SUPERKICK THAT KNOCKS ROBERTO BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Eve: HOWEVER, ABEL CAN’T CAPITALIZE AS HE STRUGGLES TO FIND HIS FOOTING! BUT HERE THEY ARE FINALLY! THE SECURITY ENTER THE RING, SEPARATING BOTH MEN FROM INFLICTING ANYMORE DAMAGE!
Deadprez: ABEL AND ROBERTO’S RIVALRY HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CONTINUE TO HEAT UP AS THESE MEN ARE READY TO HURT EACH OTHER!
(With the chaos in the ring, Abel breaks free, picks Roberto up to his feet, and pushes him back into the corner, smashing his fist into his face with devastating rights and lefts. He then grabs Roberto’s hand and whips him towards the opposite turnbuckle, Roberto though having the presence of mind to reverse the move and send Abel spine first into the turnbuckle. Atami staggers out of the corner, Roberto grabbing him and the two jostling for position, as they hit the ropes, they lose their balance and both go crashing to the arena floor, hitting the mats hard.)
Deadprez: AND NOW THIS IS SPILLING TO THE OUTSIDE AND GETTING OUT OF HAND!
(Roberto is first to his feet, and he pulls the timekeeper off his chair, and then grabs the chair, folding it up as Atami looks to pull himself up using the apron. Roberto lifts the chair and brings it down on Abel’s back, a sickening crack reverberating around the arena, the fans however loving every moment. Driven by that, Roberto lifts the chair again, but this time Abel kicks Roberto in the stomach, causing him to drop the chair. Abel then grabs a hold of his head and on pure instinct, delivers a DDT hard into the mats. Both men however stay down, their efforts having taken it out of them, the crowd roaring their approval.
Deadprez: Classic EAW action here… chaos and these fans love it!
Eve: Is that it, is it over?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know, but Abel is slowly getting to his feet.
(Abel looks at Roberto who is only just stirring, and he reaches under the ring, pulling out a table. He lifts it, and opens the legs, standing it by the side of the ring. He then walks over to Roberto, who reacts with a headbutt to Abel’s face, Atami falling backwards and laying on the table. This caused Roberto to get up on the apron, looking to make more carnage as the officials and referee finally separated them when suddenly…..
Voice: ENOUGH!!!
(Roberto stops himself and looks up at the top of the ramp where Walter Bivens is standing, microphone in hand. Walter shakes his head dismissively, as Abel slides off the table, using the barriers to steady his footing.)
Walter Bivens: All of this nonsense, and for what? A chance to lose to my client, the Hardcore Champion Limmy Monaghan?
(Roberto nods his head, grimacing in pain, looking over at Abel)
Abel Atami: (Off Mic) LOSE!? No WIN! Damn right I want a shot!
Deadprez: Bivens out here and a good job as well, I reckon these two would have killed each other!
Gavin Kirkland: We can only hope!
Walter Bivens: You know, much as these fans and I would love to stand by and watch the two of you kill each other, I’m always on the look out for ways to show that Limmy Monaghan is THE champion here in EAW. I’m also always willing to show that Limmy is a fighting champion that will never retreat from any challenge. So, with that in mind, why don’t we settle this now and add Abel to the Hardcore title match at King of Elite, turning it into a triple threat for this very championship. Then we can all get on with the rest of the show. What do you both say?
(The adrenaline is no longer pumping in their bodies, and instead of attacking each other again, Roberto shrugs his shoulders.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (Off Mic) No problem with me! I’ll beat both of these pinche maranas!
(Abel ponders it for a few more seconds before nodding his head, a look of pure defiance on his face.)
Abel Atami:(Off Mic) If I’m getting my shot, no problem.
(Bivens smiles, obviously happy.)
Walter Bivens: That’s great, I’m glad that we could all come to an accord.
(Abel and Roberto are still talking to each other, insults that the mic doesn’t pick up as the referees and officials are still in the way from the two getting at one another.)
Walter: I shall inform Hurricane Hawk of our decision. I’m sure he will be more than happy with us raising the stakes.
(Abel and Roberto looks at him with pure disdain, both determined to be the Hardcore Champion once King of Elite comes around.)
Walter Bivens: Oh, and one more thing…
(Abel scowls, and Roberto also looks confused.)
Walter Bivens: Remember what I said last week. In this division, ALWAYS watch your back.
(The crowd roars as Limmy Monaghan is pictured with the chair in hand.)
Deadprez: IT’S LIMMY! WATCH OUT!
(Limmy comes sneaking from behind the side of the ring…)
CRACK!!!!!
(Dropping Abel with a shot to the head, Abel hitting the mat hard. Roberto finally turns, Limmy thrusting the chair into Roberto’s gut before leaping in the air and with the chair on the back of Roberto’s head, hits a leg drop, driving Roberto into the floor. Limmy gets to his feet, the arena going bananas as he holds the chair aloft, Bivens laughing from the rampway.)
Deadprez: LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST DECIMATED ROBERTO AND ABLE! HE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE HERE TONIGHT! THAT HARDCORE TITLE ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE!
Eve: It’s going to be a steep learning curve Deadprez, and they need to get it, and fast!
Gavin Kirkland: Boring… more Veena Adam’s please.
Eve: You’re nothing if you’re not predictable Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Why thank you very much!
Deadprez: I don’t think it was a compliment, Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: She loves me, and she knows it.
(The camera pans back to Limmy looking down at the two men he just floored while Walter Bivens looks on happily, the crowd going mad as he stands over his victims, the scene cutting away and the camera fades to commercial break.)
(As the show fades back from commercial break, Lucas Knight is standing with Kyra Phillips…)
Kyra Phillips: Lucas Knight, we all saw you leave Aurora Monroe, your partner high and dry, but she was able to get the win as Roberto De La Rosa and Abel Atami had a breakdown in communication. Why did you do that?
Lucas Knight: Training wheels, love. Aurora is the shiny new toy on Showdown and well, maybe I just let her show off a little. See, there is a method to my madness, I don’t just wrestle, I teach. I know that Aurora Monroe is a future champion, so let her prove it.
Kyra Phillips: I don’t understand?
Lucas Knight: With all due respect Kyra, they don;t pay you to think, they pay you to stand there pretty with the mic and interview Elitists like me. Stay tuned, you and everyone else will get it soon enough, especially Aurora. Cheers.
(Lucas Knight walks off leaving Kyra Phillips a bit puzzled as the scene fades to the ring and the next match.)
(“Mo Money” by Ben McLusky begins to play as the crowd boos the living hell out of Ronan Malosi. Following behind him are the bodyguards that he paid his own money for, the Dogs of War – Westin Scott and Ashton Hale, who are looking as intimidating as ever. Ronan is feeling quite good about himself as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH HAS A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL –
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE DOGS OF WAR…FROM CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA…WEIGHING IN 285 POUNDS… HE IS “THE INTERNATIONAL TREASURE”…RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Last week on Showdown, Ronan Malosi failed at advancing to the semi-finals of the King of Elite tournament. Does he look to bounce back from that loss by defeating Theron Nikolas who will be in action for the first time in 2022?
Eve: I believe so, but Ronan Malosi has had his issues with Adam Lucas as of late, and honestly, I don’t think that he’s quite keen on watching Adam advance to the semi-finals at the expense of him. Still, Ronan has been flaunting his wealth more than usual and the two intimidating men on each side of him are just examples of that.
Deadprez: I’m not going to judge a man for how he wants to spend his money. Ronan claims that these are great bodyguards, but there have been occasions where I’ve doubted that. Perhaps, the numbers game could come into play and cause Theron to lose tonight.
(“The Rumbling” by SiM begins to play as Theron Nikolas comes out to a huge pop from the crowd. Theron looks at the sea of fans but doesn’t play along to the reaction. He seems quite focused on the match ahead of him.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA…WEIGHING IN 224 POUNDS…HE IS THE “GHOST”…THERON NIKOLAS!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: If you’re Theron Nikolas, how do you keep pushing forward after all the failed attempts at dethroning that she-devil? What do you think, Impact?
(The camera pans to Impact who is sitting on the other end with Deadprez. Impact has a headset on as he’s focused on the action that’s about to begin.)
Impact: We all have something that motivates us into staying here. For someone like Theron Nikolas, becoming Answers World Champion almost consumed him and he needed Road to Redemption and then, Hawk to realize that he can’t go down that path anymore. Something needs to change and that all begins with…
(Impact taps the side of his head.)
Eve: For Theron, there is this stigma with him. Theron gets whatever he wants and somehow, he finds a way to drop the ball. He wants to work harder than everyone else to get to that Answers World Championship. He doesn’t see the title as a way to wipe the stigma that has been created with him, but a chance to say “I am sorry.”
Deadprez: It was such a moving piece by Theron Nikolas and seeing him in his rawest form was something that I thought I’d never see, but you can see why the fans have been invested and want to see him succeed.
Impact: Indeed, but it’s such a shame I’ll disappoint his fans again.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND…Ronan Malosi swings at Theron Nikolas, but Theron ducks the clothesline and connects with a side-handed chop to the chest of the former Interwire Champion! It seemed like Ronan was looking to catch Theron by surprise with a forearm to the face, BUT THERON SAW IT COMING AND WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, RONAN MANAGES TO STAND IN A VERTICAL BASE AS LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A HUGE PALM STRIKE TO THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! But, Theron is taken back just a small step before throwing a punch to Ronan’s face, but Ronan fights back by throwing another punch to the face of Theron! Theron throws another punch as that seems to knock Ronan back!
Eve: Theron Nikolas holds back Ronan Malosi to the ropes as it seems like the referee is going, to begin with, his count early on in this match-up.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: Slowly, Theron Nikolas begins to back away from Ronan Malosi. He gives Ronan Malosi a small opening to straighten himself up, but when Ronan does that, Theron gets Ronan by his arm and looks to whip him towards the perpendicular set of ropes across from them! Midway, Ronan is able to stop himself from colliding with those ropes. INSTEAD, HE COUNTERS THERON’S WHIP AS HE GETS SENT TOWARD THOSE ROPES, BUT THERON IS ABLE TO STOP HIMSELF FROM REBOUNDING OFF THOSE ROPES. HE SEES RONAN RUNNING HIS WAY AS HE HOLDS ONE OF HIS FEET UP TO STOP THE ‘THE INTERNATIONAL TREASURE’ FROM CRASHING ONTO HIM!
Impact: Instead of falling into his boot, Ronan Malosi is able to connect with a dragon screw leg whip which takes Theron Nikolas to the ground. Now, this is where Ronan is quite dangerous. Despite being a massive goofball ten out of ten times a day, I do think that he possesses a power that could take him far into this company and I’m not just saying that because I want to see Theron lose like what’s going to happen to him at King of Elite.
Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi has made an effort to reinvent himself and remove some of that ‘goofball’ elements that you pointed out Impact. As you said, he does have a size and strength that not many Elitists can match in the ring! He gets Theron Nikolas by his right foot and slams his leg against the mat! For a moment, he allows for Theron to just whither in the pain as he slowly gets himself to his feet! He gets Theron by that gorgeous hair of his and up to his feet before delivering a knee to the ribs of the former World Champion! RONAN GETS TO THE SIDE OF THERON AND LIFTS HIM OVER HIS FEET AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH AN ATOMIC DROP, BUT UP IN THE AIR, THERON IS ABLE TO FLIP HIMSELF OFF OF THE GRASPS OF RONAN AS HE TURNS RONAN AROUND –
Eve: Theron Nikolas with a kick to the stomach of Ronan Malosi before getting Ronan closer to him and connecting with a butterfly backbreaker on Ronan! Theron goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTT–
Deadprez: Ronan Malosi is able to shove Theron Nikolas away from him! As Ronan is slowly finding his way back to his feet, Theron delivers a massive stomp to the back of Ronan’s skull, looking to keep the taller man down! This causes Ronan to fall down, rolling to his back! Theron takes a step back before delivering a sharp elbow drop to the chest of Ronan! This causes Ronan to clutch onto his chest in pain as he rolls to his side! Theron begins to apply a headlock, rolling himself to one of his knees! Supposedly, it’s looking like Theron is trying to keep Ronan down enough for him to gain the advantage in the match.
Impact: Honestly, it seems to be the common approach when going up with these taller Elitists who are also muscular. You would think that Ronan is just height, but in reality, he has muscle. He’s always looking for ways to keep himself in shape. I’m guessing with all of that money he has now, he has zero excuses to look like a bum.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a good point. He has been able to provide himself with the best security possible. The Dogs of War are two men who could play a factor going into this match. If they see Ronan on the verge of losing, there’s no doubt that they could change the tides of the match and have it fall into Ronan’s favor.
Eve: I think that Theron Nikolas knows what side of the ring not to fall on if that scenario goes down. As we focus on the action back inside the ring, Ronan Malosi is looking to push himself away from the side headlock that Theron has applied on him. It seems like Ronan is trying to grab Theron’s hair, pulling it back in the process, but Theron nails Ronan with a punch to the face as that seems to stop the hairpulling that Ronan was trying to introduce into the match. BUT, RONAN GETS HIS HAND ON THERON’S BEARD, GIVING IT A TUG AS THERON IS DOING HIS BEST NOT TO LET THAT DISTRACT HIM, BUT RONAN PROCESS TO PULL DOWN ON THE BEARD, CAUSING THE REFEREE TO STEP IN AND STOP IT!
Deadprez: For the safety of Theron Nikolas inside the ring, the referee is lecturing for Ronan Malosi to avoid any illegal actions in the match. We wrestle on Showdown. I don’t think that Hawk would be too keen on Ronan’s cheating. While I believe that Theron wasn’t bugged too much about Ronan pulling down on the beard, the referee is trying to keep this match under control. In the process, it creates a bit of separation between these two Elitists. With the two men back to their feet, the two men are circling around each other, looking to lock up, but Ronan hoists Theron up in the air and throws him into the corner!
Impact: We’re going to see some good ole shoulder thrusts from Ronan Malosi. Each of them connects to the ribs of Theron Nikolas. This causes Theron to sit on the second rope, but Ronan straightens Theron up as he connects with a punch that sends Theron back to the second rope! Ronan gets Theron by his wrist before Irish whipping him to the corner across from them! Theron is sent towards those ropes as Ronan charges towards Theron like a train, BUT THERON THROWS AN ELBOW TO RONAN’S FACE AS HE ATTEMPTS TO COLLIDE WITH HIM! THERON QUICKLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE HAS HIS EYES ON RONAN WHO IS FOCUSED ON THERON –
Gavin Kirkland: MISSILE DROPKICK TO RONAN MALOSI FROM THERON NIKOLAS! THE BIGGER MAN IS TAKEN DOWN AS THERON BEGINS TO RISE BACK TO HIS FEET! AT THE FIRST SIGN OF RONAN GETTING UP, THERON CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK THAT TAKES THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION DOWN TO ONE OF HIS KNEES! Theron gets behind Ronan before raising Ronan up to his feet, nailing him with a snap Saito suplex! Ronan crashes to the mat before finding himself in a seated position. Theron is the first man up to his feet before rebounding himself off the set of ropes before nailing Ronan with a basement dropkick to the face! Theron finds himself up to his feet again and this time, he gets Ronan by the nape of his neck!
Eve: Theron Nikolas throws Ronan Malosi headfirst against the turnbuckle at the corner! Ronan is able to turn himself around as Theron connects with a series of mudhole stomps to the ribs of ‘The International Treasure!’ This causes Ronan to fall to a seated position at the corner! Still, Ronan is connecting with those mudhole stomps before pressing his boot against the foot of Ronan as he turns his attention towards you, Imp.
(Impact gives a casual, but playful wave, hoping that his smile rubs Theron Nikolas the wrong way.)
Impact: Wow, I should be honored that the ‘great’ Theron Nikolas recognizes my presence out here. More like I’m glad that he’s aware that I’m out here. As much of a joy, it is to socialize out here with you all, I’m on assignment for this Ironman match at King of Elite. As of right now, I’m looking for something that is going to ‘wow’ me, and Theron isn’t doing anything that makes me think for a second that he can defeat me at King of Elite.
Deadprez: I THINK THAT THERON NIKOLAS HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR AS HE GRABS BOTH OF THE WRISTS OF RONAN MALOSI AS HE DRIVES HIS KNEE AGAINST THE SKULL OF RONAN! I THINK THAT MAY HAVE KNOCKED SOME OF THE LIGHTS OUT OF RONAN’S HEAD, BUT THERON DOESN’T LOOK TO BE DONE HERE! He picks up Ronan and connects with a butterfly suplex on him! You can see that Ronan is still trying to turn the lights back on in his head, but Theron is going to continue trying to keep the bigger man down! It seems like the spots that Ronan is on his stomach and is looking to move Ronan away from the set of ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: He is connecting with a super gorgeous muta lock on Ronan Malosi! If that didn’t wake up Ronan, I’m not sure what will, but Theron Nikolas has Ronan where he doesn’t want to be at the moment! While it would be satisfying for Theron to get a submission victory here, I feel like he wants to impress you, Imp. You did say that you wanted to be wowed at some point in this match.
Impact: While it wouldn’t be the first time that bozo Ronan Malosi submitted to a random wrestling move, I don’t think that Theron would be satisfied with the victory like that. He wants me to see how long he can stay in this match. After all, we’re going to be competing in an Ironman match, so how long can Theron stay in this match without losing his cool? How long until Theron can keep himself as calm as possible?
Eve: It’s something to think about. When it’s come to Road to Redemption and how everything has been with him, it makes me wonder what Theron Nikolas is going to do to make sure that he remains as calm as possible when competing in this Ironman match. Maybe, the talk with Hawk and what Hawk told him could have done something? There’s no doubt that Theron is a gifted wrestler with so much to offer. It’s a shame that things haven’t gone in his favor.
Impact: I can sympathize with him in ways, Eve. On Showdown, only one man or woman can be on the top. You have yourself stuck on having that one moment, it begins to consume you. While Theron may have not made it vocal as a lot of us, I think there is a part of him that thought he should have won at Road to Redemption. I remember seeing Theron trending on social media and there’s no doubt that he’s got his own following, but it seems like those Theron fans are going to need to wait a little longer for their moment. As always, I will show up and prove that I am heads and shoulders above any man or woman on Showdown.
Deadprez: Bold statement by you, Impact. As we focus back inside the ring, Theron Nikolas still has that muta lock applied to Ronan Malosi. Ronan is trying to grasp onto those ropes, but it seems like he has no luck at the moment. Ronan is trying to clutch onto the wrist of Theron, looking to wrap the grasp that Theron has underneath Ronan’s neck, but it seems like there is no luck with that!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the apron, DP!
(The camera pans to Westin Scott, a member of the Dogs of War, standing on the apron, trying to get the attention of the referee. Meanwhile, this allows the other member of the Dogs of War, Ashton Hale to pull Theron Nikolas by his foot, getting him off of Ronan Malosi.)
Eve: Theron Nikolas gets pulled away thanks to Ashton Hale of the Dogs of War, the personal bodyguards of Ronan Malosi! Meanwhile, Westin Scott gets Ronan to safety, rolling him to the outside. The EAW Universe is not enjoying that whatsoever as Ashton meets Ronan and Westin. These two are paid to protect Ronan and step in when necessary. I guess this was a necessary time to have that happen.
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas is up to his feet as he sits on the middle rope, holding it down for Ronan Malosi to get back inside the ring. I think that Theron is quite motivated to continue this match. Meanwhile, Ronan couldn’t care less about this match continuing on Theron’s terms. Ronan is using the opportunity to regroup as he calls for a huddle in the middle of the match?
Impact: This man is just getting underneath Theron’s skin and that’s fucking hilarious.
(The referee asks for Ronan Malosi to get back inside the ring; however, Ronan holds his hand up, asking for a moment as he huddles with the Dogs of War. It seems like the three of them are strategizing, but it’s not clear what’s being talked about. Meanwhile, Theron Nikolas has his hands on his hips, giving a “is this really happening?” look to the referee and everyone else around him.)
Impact: It seems like Theron has had enough time waiting as he rolls himself to the outside to get Ronan back inside the ring, but Ronan begins to run away from Theron. MEANWHILE, THERON IS ON HIS TAIL AS RONAN SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE RING, BUT THERON MANAGES TO GET RONAN BY HIS FOOT, PULLING HIM OUT OF THE RING AS RONAN EATS A NASTY UPPERCUT BY THERON! THERON GETS RONAN AND THROWS HIM LOWER BACK FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE BEFORE THROWING HIM AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE THERON IS FINDING A BIT OF REPETITION AS HE DOES THOSE TWO MOVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS SLAMS RONAN MALOSI AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON AGAIN AS HE GETS RONAN BY HIS SKULL AND THROWS HIM HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST. THIS KNOCKS ‘THE INTERNATIONAL TREASURE’ DOWN FOR THE TIME BEING.
(It takes for a moment to realize that Theron Nikolas is standing between each member of the Dogs of War. This causes the former World Champion to be a bit defensive in his stance.)
Eve: I think that this is a situation that Theron Nikolas didn’t want to find himself in, guys. Westin Scott is able to retrieve Ronan Malosi and rolls him back inside the ring. Meanwhile, it seems like Ashton Hale is looking to get the attention of the referee. Meanwhile, Theron continues to be on the defense, looking to prepare himself for any sort of attack as Westin only takes a step back as Theron takes it as his cue to quickly roll himself back inside the ring. Still, Theron’s attention is on Ronan who is showing some struggle with getting himself up!
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas assists Ronan Malosi up, but –
Gavin Kirkland: A LOW BLOW ON THERON NIKOLAS BY RONAN MALOSI! SLOWLY, RONAN BEGINS TO FALL TO HIS KNEES, COVERING HIS BITS AS RONAN HAS A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE! IT SEEMED LIKE RONAN WAS PLAYING POSSUM WITH THERON IN HOPES TO CATCH HIM OFF GUARD! The former Interwire Champion slowly rises back to his feet as he takes a few steps back, stalking Theron back to a vertical base! At the first sign of Theron getting to his feet, Ronan runs towards Theron with a discus lariat, making him spin like a top! Ronan with the cover on the former World Champion!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWW—
Eve: A kick out by Theron Nikolas as Ronan Malosi looks like he’s just getting started with his punishment on Theron! Ronan gets Theron up by his hair and throws him into the horizontal set of ropes! Theron isn’t able to catch himself as he crashes onto a big boot by Ronan! Ronan extends his hands out, feeling quite good about himself before he picks up Theron and gets him into position for the next move! He picks up the former World Champion in a chokeslam before taking him down with a backbreaker! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE RONAN STILL HAS THERON IN A CHOKESLAM POSITION! HIS GIANT HAND WRAPPED AROUND THE NECK OF THERON AS HE HOISTS UP THERON UP AGAIN BEFORE CRASHING HIM ONTO HIS KNEE! BUT, RONAN DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE HOISTS UP THERON UP IN A CHOKESLAM BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN ON HIS KNEE! RONAN HOISTS UP THERON UP BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM AS HE GETS SLAMMED INTO THE MAT! RONAN COVERS THERON!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWW–
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas with a shoulder up as he’s still alive in this match-up! Ronan Malosi is up to his feet as Theron is clutching his lower back as he’s using the second rope to help himself to his feet! But, Ronan uses the opportunity to place his knee on the back of Theron’s neck, applying pressure as Theron is trying to get himself out of that situation! Ronan seems to be trash-talking a little bit, but it’s unclear with what he’s trying to get across! It seems like the referee may need to step in to stop this!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HIM, RONAN!
Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi takes his eyes off Theron Nikolas and looks at the referee. Then, he turns his attention back to Theron as he hoists him up in the air and connects with a belly-to-back ripcord slam on him! Ronan looks to place his boot on Theron, but the referee reminds Ronan that Theron’s shoulders aren’t to the mat.
Eve: Ronan Malosi gets Theron Nikolas by the nape of his neck before hoisting Theron to a seated position. Ronan gets behind Theron before jabbing his elbow to the shoulder/neck of the former World Champion! Then, Ronan begins to crank Theron’s neck by the turn of his skull! Now, Imp, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from you. You must be focused on this match?
Impact: I’m just looking for every strength and weakness from Theron Nikolas. So far, he’s kept himself under control. At the moment, it seems like Ronan Malosi has taken control of this match. I know that Ronan is going to be looking at a victory over Theron. After failing to advance in the King of Elite tournament, getting a victory over a man who was once King of Elite would be amazing for him.
Deadprez: There’s no doubt that Ronan Malosi has gone into this match, looking to bring everything that he has to offer to Theron Nikolas! Theron is struggling to get himself out of that neck crank by Ronan!
Crowd: LET’S GO, THERON! LET’S GO, THERON! LET’S GO, THERON! LET’S GO, THERON!
Impact: The Terminator-like stomp is echoing in the EAW Universe as Theron Nikolas is trying to find some strength to fight back in this match-up! Ronan Malosi can feel his grasp on Theron slipping away from him! There’s a bit of panic on the face of Ronan as he realizes that he needs to move to his next plan in order to keep Theron down where he wants him. But, you can see that Theron is shifting his torso to the left, trying to break himself out of this hold. He gets pulled back thanks to Ronan, but Theron is not going to give up without a fight!
Gavin Kirkland: Theron Nikolas is still determined to break himself out of Ronan Malosi’s grasp! It’s that same determination that has kept him from going down that deep end like he did a couple of years ago. Theron is slowly trying to work his way back to his feet, but Ronan connects with a giant fist to the chest of the former World Champion! That takes Theron to his back as Ronan stops that bit of momentum he has gained for himself like his name was Kassidy Heart!
Eve: You REALLY couldn’t go ONE match without shading her?
Gavin Kirkland: I’ve been on my best behavior so far tonight.
Deadprez:
Gavin Kirkland: …for the most part.
Eve:
Impact: The only person allowing for that momentum to stop is Theron Nikolas himself and how he responded at Road to Redemption. It seems to be a controversial take, but at least, Theron was able to open his eyes and see what he needs to do to come back stronger. I’ve heard about his fight whether it’s inside the ring or with the demons inside of his mind, but this man will fight until he can’t anymore. That’s something that I am going to need to worry about going into King of Elite.
Gavin Kirkland: Theron Nikolas is clutching to his chest as Ronan Malosi is already up to his feet! He rebounds himself off the perpendicular set of ropes before delivering a leg drop to the chest of the former Answers World Champion! He begins to drive his knee onto the chest of Theron and that’s applying a ton of pressure on his chest! I mean, Ronan Malosi isn’t the lightest person in this match. While he’s not Xander Payne, it’s like 6’8 of man on you and that’s not pleasant at all!
Eve: Ronan Malosi gets his knee off of Theron Nikolas as Theron slowly finds himself into a seated position, but Ronan gets Theron up completely on his feet and hoists him up in the air. Ronan has his eyes on one of the corners as he looks to throw Theron onto that corner! Theron does his best with trying to catch himself from colliding onto that corner by he is unable too as Ronan is able to hit the snake eyes on the former World Champion! THERON STUMBLES BACK AND FALLS INTO THE CLUTCHES OF RONAN, WHO FOLLOWS UP THOSE SNAKE EYES WITH A BACK SUPLEX SIDE SLAM! RONAN WITH ANOTHER COVER IN THIS MATCH!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas with a kick out! You can see that Ronan Malosi is trying to remain as calm as possible as he rises back to his feet! It seems like he’s looking to connect with the ‘Death-Ro’ that modified lifting reverse sto, but it seems like Theron is beginning elbow Ronan in the side of his head! This manages to get Ronan to release whatever hold that he has on Theron! RONAN LOOKS TO THROW A PUNCH AT THERON, BUT THERON BLOCKS THE PUNCH AND BEGINS TO GIVE RONAN A BIT OF A ‘BATTLE FURY!’ THE LEFT HOOK TO THE RIBS, THE OPEN RIGHT-HAND SLAP TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND WITH THE LEFT, A LOADED FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE! THIS CAUSES FOR RONAN TO BACK AWAY INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Theron Nikolas is not wasting any time as he follows all of that up with a running European uppercut to Ronan Malosi! This causes ‘The International Treasure’ to stumble out of the corner into a superkick by Theron! Ronan falls to his knees and in front of the former World Champion. Theron is looking at you, Impact.
Impact: I can see him doing that, Gavin.
Eve: HE IS HOLDING ONTO THE WRISTS OF RONAN MALOSI. HE HAS HIS EYES ON YOU, IMPACT AS THERON NIKOLAS GOES FOR THE RIPCORD LARIAT ON RONAN! THE MOVE CONNECTS AS THERON LOOKS TO GET RONAN IN POSITION BEFORE HE –WHAT IN THE HELL??
Deadprez: THE DOGS OF WAR! ASHTON HALE IS TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THERON NIKOLAS! IT SEEMS LIKE THERON HAS HAD ENOUGH WITH SEEING THE DOGS OF WAR MAKES THEIR PRESENCE NOTICED IN THIS MATCH! HE RUNS OVER AS HE CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO ASHTON HALE! ASHTON DROPS STRAIGHT TO THE APRON AND FALLS DOWN TO RINGSIDE! THE EAW UNIVERSE WAS ON ITS FEET WITH THERON GIVING A MEMBER OF THE DOGS OF WAR A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, TURN AROUND! RONAN MALOSI ROLLS UP THERON NIKOLAS! IS HE GOING TO GET THE VICTORY OVER THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!??!
Impact: Is this shit really going to happen?
Eve: NOT LIKE THIS!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE–
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas powers out of the roll-up! Ronan Malosi cannot believe it! Ronan Malosi really thought he had Theron Nikolas there! There’s a look on shock on Ronan’s face who can’t seem to believe that this match is still going on! He’s holding three fingers up, but the referee is clarifying that Theron was able to power out just in time! Ronan is up to his feet as he pulls out something from his back pocket.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s a twenty-dollar bill! Ronan Malosi is showing the twenty-dollar bill and placing it in the small square pocket in front of the referee’s shirt. The referee is nodding, but he still holds up two fingers as Ronan can’t seem to believe it –
Eve: THERON NIKOLAS ROLLS UP RONAN MALOSI FROM BEHIND! IS HE REALLY GOING TO USE THIS TO HIS ADVANTAGE??!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRR–
Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI POWERS OUT! THERON NIKOLAS CHARGES TOWARDS THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION! ‘HEADHUNTER’ TO THE BACK OF RONAN’S SKULL! RONAN FALLS FACE-FIRST TO THE MAT! I THINK THAT THERON JUST KILLED THE POOR MAN! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE THERON IS GOING TO BE WRAPPING UP THIS MATCH FOR HIMSELF AS HE GETS RONAN IN POSITION FOR THE ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’ – THE SWINGING REVERSE STO BUT –
Gavin Kirkland: –AND, IT SEEMS LIKE WESTIN SCOTT IS SLIDING HIMSELF INSIDE THE RING, CAUSING A BIT OF A DISTRACTION! THE REFEREE TURNS HIS FOCUS ON WESTIN SCOTT, TRYING TO KEEP HIM OUT OF THE RING! MEANWHILE, YOU LOOK INSIDE THE RING AS ASHTON HALE IS INSIDE THE RING WITH SOME BRASS KNUCKLES IN HIS POSSESSION! THERON TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS ASHTON RUNS TO THERON, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM, BUT THERON DUCKS AS HE KICKS ASHTON IN THE STOMACH BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘DRAGON RUSH’ THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX AS THAT TAKES HIM OUT OF THE EQUATION! MEANWHILE, YOU CAN SEE RONAN RISING BACK TO HIS FEET –
Eve: THERON NIKOLAS RUNS TOWARDS RONAN MALOSI, BUT RONAN MANAGES TO CATCH THERON OFF GUARD! ‘DEATH-RO!’ NO! THERON MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY AS HE MANAGES TO USE SOME OF THE MOMENTUM FROM THAT SWING IN ORDER TO SWITCH POSITIONS! HE HAS RONAN IN THE ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’ AS THE MOVE CONNECTS! THERON WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“The Rumbling” plays once again as Theron Nikolas rolls off of Ronan Malosi. Meanwhile, Ronan is being checked on by the Dogs of War.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THERON NIKOLAS!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Just like that, Theron Nikolas was able to capitalize! For a second, I was scared that Ronan Malosi was going to pull this one off. I thought when he had him lined up for the ‘Death-Ro’ that was going to be it, but it was amazing to see Theron counter with his own move to give him the victory!
Gavin Kirkland: We saw an example of the utilization that the Dogs of War are with Ronan Malosi; however, they attempt to be more successful on their end. However, it was just a matter of Theron Nikolas knowing when to respond to their interferences and when to let it go.
Impact: I’m a different type of beast that Theron is going to need to try his best to conquer at King of Elite. He has thirty minutes to win the match or we’re going to sudden death. While he did a great job with outlasting Ronan Malosi and defeating him, I do plan to be a challenge that he can’t outlast and defeat. I know exactly what I am going to need to do to defeat Theron and it’s with what’s in here.
(Impact uses his index finger and taps on the side of his skull.)
Impact: Speak of the devil. Congratulations on your victory, little buddy.
(Impact sarcastically gives a round of applause as Theron Nikolas is looking at him from across the commentator’s booth. Theron has an intense look on his face as Impact puts down his headset to give him that same intense look. Impact gives a slight nod, like it was a good effort from Theron tonight before he forms a smug on his face, walking past Theron as Theron looks back at Impact, who is making his way up the ramp.)
Eve: Impact is feeling quite good about himself and King of Elite, but it was a fantastic performance from Theron Nikolas as for Ronan Malosi…
(The scene pans inside the ring where Ronan Malosi is being helped up to his feet by the Dogs of War, but Ronan snatches his arm away from Westin Scott who begins to yell at Ronan. Before you know it, Ashton Hale gets involved in the argument before all three of them are bickering. The scene pans elsewhere.)
(SCREENBAR – Backstage in the United Center.)
(As the EAW Broadcast fades back in from commercial break, the crowd is treated to the titantron displaying footage of the backstage area. As the image of the attendees in the crowd slowly pans around, the camera angle fades from a long shot of the arena to displaying said footage, as we see none other than Kyra Phillips, standing in the dead center of the frame. In her hand is a blue EAW-branded microphone, to match the Showdown Color scheme. She moves the microphone up towards her mouth, as she begins to speak into it, and through the speakers.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight I am here to interview a woman that has been involved in some, as you would say, “beef” recently. Over the course of a few weeks, we have seen bickering and brawling, and under Hurricane Hawk’s orders, he believes that allowing people under these influences not only deserve to wrestle it out but to air out their grievances, as bottling things up doesn’t result in what we *want* for this show. And I think that’s a great idea. So, joining me here is none other than “The Princess of Professional Wrestling”… Veena Adams.
(Moments later, none other than Veena Adams – as her name was announced – steps into the focus of the camera lens, twirling her hair around her finger. She turns her head to take a glance at Kyra Phillips, and has a very uninterested expression, obviously careless as to who it is talking to her, practically not giving a shit who she is.)
Kyra Phillips: Welcome, Veena! 😀
Veena Adams: Aren’t you supposed to be interviewing me? Like, y’know, your actual job?
(Veena stares at Kyra Phillips with her look of disinterest towards the person remaining. Kyra stares for a few seconds, before her nervous silence breaks up.)
Kyra Phillips: I- Well- I uh… ahem.
Veena Adams: Get it out.
Kyra Phillips: Well, over the last few weeks, as I mentioned, you and Cameron Ella Ava have had your own personal issues, and two weeks in a row you stood tall over her. Would you like to give us your commentary on the matter?
(Veena Adams scoffs, rolling her eyes.)
Veena Adams: I mean, do I even need to? Don’t get me wrong I’m gunna do it anyway, but do you really think it’s a necessity? You have all the information you already need at the tip of your fingers. Literally go back and watch me beat the shit out of Cumeron, and you’ll know all I need to say. She’s washed up, Kyra. She doesn’t need to be here. She doesn’t BELONG here. And guess what? Time and time again, I’ve proven this. Without a shadow of a doubt. I’ve proven it as fact, for two weeks straight. But I hear some obese porn-addicted, greasy fucks on the internet saying it was all a fluke, and that Cumeron will eventually beat me in the end! No, the fuck she won’t. She’s going to fall, as she has done both times, and it’s going to be a fault of her own. Because she has completely overstayed her welcome.
(Veena Adams grabs the microphone.)
Veena Adams: Like, there’s no way you can tell me that I’m wrong about this shit when she’s literally a fucking mother. She has a child in bed at home, with his nanny, wondering where the fuck his mother is, and why the fuck his daddy can’t fucking walk, and the nanny will have to tell her that’s just how the wrestling business goes when we both know it’s not true. You and I, Kyra, and the rest of the people watching *know* that nothing would change if Cumeron had just decided not to come back. Women like ME don’t need our spots being taken up by the oldheads of the division, people that will probably be known as grandmothers in the next 20 years, whilst I’m still thriving on top. I don’t need to spend what could lead into the prime of my career sitting twiddling my thumbs because cunts like her are so indecisive on whether or not they want to be a mother or a wrestler reliving the glory days. Last week, and the week prior, is just a taste of that. It’s just a taste of what I want her to know, and it’s just a taste of the cold – and very hard – reality that she has to deal with.
(Veena Adams hands the microphone back to Kyra Phillips, but notices Kyra isn’t looking at her…)
Kyra Phillips: I was going to tell you, but…
(Veena then sighs. Slowly, whilst rolling her eyes, she turns around to see none other than Cameron Ella Ava, not too far behind her, and having heard every single word. She wasn’t in the frame, the camera didn’t see her, and quite frankly nobody heard her. The only person who knew? That was Kyra; the woman now standing in between the both of them, with the microphone.)
Cameron Ella Ava: *Sigh.* Jesus fucking Christ, Veena. My patience is running VERY thin with you, and hearing you stand there talking about my family is only making matters worse for your well-being. But I also know, that’s what you want. I know that you’re just luring me in so you can get me on the ground again, to lead me exactly where you want me to be, and it’s growing tiresome. Not to mention, not entertaining, or even slightly impressive. I’ve seen people like you manipulate people with a stronger mindset than I have countless times, to the point where I’d be considered stronger than those nowadays. I’m over it. I’m over you. I’m over you standing there, thinking you’re the absolute baddest bitch that’s in this company, when we all look at you like nothing more than a one-note, repetitive, vulgar – in Jamie O’Hara’s words – cunt. And, now that I think about it, that’s why you’re the way that you are.
Cameron Ella Ava: The difference is, I’m not the type of woman who will change for your benefit. For you to feel like you actually have a place here. I’m going to be me, and that’s completely honest. *You’re not going to do the things that I’ve done.* You won’t reach the levels I’ve reached, and that’s because you can’t. You surround yourself with people like Kyra, so you can stand here and berate them – not because it’s “you”, because that’s exactly how “you” feel “you” should be treated, like a superior to people like them. But that isn’t the case when people like me look at you. I don’t see someone who has earned my respect or someone who even deserves it. I don’t see someone who’s ready to step up to the same shit that I did. I don’t see someone who has the nerve to challenge the people that I did unless you consider them to be “washed up” and have “outstayed their welcome.” Slowly but surely, Veena, you’ll realize how stupid these claims are. You’ll realize how stupid it is to say that I’ve outstayed my welcome because I’m just getting started. As for you? You’re right, you will someday reach your prime. And by then, you’ll not have even a fraction of my accomplishments.
(Veena Adams pushes Cameron by the chest, before getting directly into her face, blowing metaphorical steam out of her nose.)
Veena Adams: Shut. The fuck. Up. At King of Elite, we’re going to find out who’s truly right, and that’s me. Because I’m a damn kween, you whore.
(Cameron Ella Ava chuckles ever so slightly at that comment, staring at Veena who is so obviously trying to entice her into another brawl, and for a moment it’s almost as if Cam wants to stay true to her word… before… BAM! A right hook to the jaw! Veena Adams stumbles back, unable to control her balance before Cameron Ella Ava continues. She hits punch, after punch, after punch, before eventually, Veena Adams is lying up against the brick wall; and even then, Cameron doesn’t stop! The Goddess then starts to hit uppercut blows, straight to the jaw of Veena Adams, finally getting her revenge – and oh boy does it feel so sweet.)
Cameron Ella Ava: WHERE’S THAT “KWEEN” NOW?
(Cameron bellows, as she continues to lay waste to Veena Adams. Eventually, however, her fun is cut off, as security guards and officials run up behind Cameron and grab her at either arm. It takes a whole lot of force to bring her back, especially due to a repeated kicking that follows the reduction of her arms, but eventually, they’re able to pull her away. Veena Adams holds onto her jaw, almost with a smile, as Cameron continues to shout.)
Cameron Ella Ava: YOU’RE NOT A KWEEN! YOU’RE JUST A JEALOUS BITCH!
(Veena Adams stares back at Cameron, slowly getting up, as Cameron still continues to yell. Veena was able to get off before things got rough, luckily for her. The broadcast then fades back to ringside with Guna Romano ready to call the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit! The winner of their respective tag team will choose the stipulation for their EAW Unified Tag Team Championship Number One Contendership Match!
( “Act A Fool” by Ludacris blasts through the speakers. It is immediately accompanied with rockhard boos. With Pandora Paisley by his side, Jonny Airhart makes his way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! Accompanied to the ring by Pandora Paisley, weighing in at 205 pounds… REPRESENTING “SEROTONIN,” JOOOONNNY AIIRRRHARRT!!
Deadprez: Jonny Airhart and Pandora Paisley have established themselves as a new threat to the tag team division at the expense of The Ice Aces for weeks on end. The Ice Aces and Serotonin will have an opportunity to settle their disputes at the special Showdown episode after King Of Elite. They will compete for a shot at the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships for The Haircare Kings at Dia Del Diablo.
Gavin Kirkland: God… I would risk crimes to be planted in between Pandora’s cheeks! Oh, right! The winner of tonight’s match will pick the stipulation for their match! I personally hope it will be a bras and panties match!
Eve: What about Jonny Airhart?
Gavin Kirkland: I mean… I could make sommmee exceptions…
( While Paisley and Airhart strategize in their designated corner, “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Yoko Takahasi blasts through the speakers to a huge pop. Ayu Megumi and Usagi Senshi pop out of the entrance curtains and make their appearance known to the crowd. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! Accompanied to the ring by Ayu Megumi! From Fukuoka, Japan, weighing in at 130 pounds… REPRESENTING “THE ICE ACES”, “THE CRYPIC ACE,” USAAAAGHI SENSHIII!!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi has constantly been confronted with weak leak claims here in EAW! She has a huge opportunity to knock off Jonny Airhart tonight! Can she do it! Can she gain the advantage for her team!
Gavin kirkland: Who knows man.. She’s so hot..
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: This huge match is underway as Usagi Senshi and Jonny AIrhart walk around the ring before engaging in the usual collar-and-elbow tie-up. Airhart immediately transitions into a waist lock, where Senshi throws her shoulder back. Airhart ducks it and throws her down with an over-the-shoulder waist takedown and orchestrates a wrist lock from the rear. Senshi steps up onto her feet, twists her hips, escapes the wrist lock and goes around the waist! Senshi tries to go for a waist takedown, but Airhart reaches down and takes her down by the leg. He turns around and Senshi sends him three-thirds across the ring with an up kick right to the face! Senshi immediately gets up and charges into Airhart in the corner!
Eve: SENSHI WITH A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH INTO THE CORNER! Airhart is stunned in the corner as Senshi runs into the ropes! Airhart follows her and attempts a clothesline as she rebounded off the ropes! SENSHI DUCKS IT! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES!! AND JUMPS UP AND DECKS ONE-HALF OF SEROTONIN WITH A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH!! Airhart is down as Senshi now goes for the first cover! A lateral press, but Airhart immediately kicks out and provides no time for the referee to fit in a count! Senshi gets back up to her feet and rebounds off the ropes! AND BLASTS HIS ENTIRE BACK WITH AN EXPLOSIVE KICK!! SENSHI NOT LETTING HIM REST AS SHE COMES FROM THE SIDE!! AND FLOORS HIM WITH A SLIDING SHOOT KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! AND SENSHI GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER ATTEMPT!!
ONE!!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: Umommy Senshi giving the smoke to Jonny Airfart! I’ve been having difficulty focusing on all three of these women’s wonderful asses in front of us, but all I know is that Senshi has been whooping his ass in the beginning of this match! Airhart seems to be caught off guard with this agility as Senshi now comes off the ropes! AND SHE GOES FOR A JUMPING TORNADO DDT! Airhart evades it by pushing her off his shoulders! Airhart grabs her arms and twists around! AND HOISTS HER UP INTO A VERTICAL POSITION!! Senshi attempts to fight out of the suplex position by dropping down her knees onto his head! Airhart improvises and drops her with a release gourdbuster slam! Senshi goes chest first into the canvas as AIRHART COMES OFF THE ROPES!! AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Deadprez: Usagi slides down the canvas through his legs! What a counter and AIRHART GETS TAKEN OUT OF THE RING WITH A BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED STANDING FRANKENSTEINER!! Airhart with a hard fall onto the ringside floor as Usagi Senshi is rallying the crowd behind her! AND SHE RUNS THE ROPES!! IN HOPES THAT SHE CONNECTS WITH A TOPE SUICIDA ONTO AIRHART!!!
( While the referee shortly focuses on Airhart at ringside, Pandora Paisley pulls down the third rope while Usagi rebounds off it. )
Deadprez: USAGI SENSHI GOES CRASHING HARD ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AS PANDORA PAISLEY JUST PULLED DOWN THE TOP ROPE!! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE ANY OF IT HAPPEN!! Senshi went unprotected into the ringside floor and Pandora Paisley is just laughing at it! Ayu Megumi comes around the corner and backs her off as Jonny Airhart recovers and slides back into the ring!
Eve: THIS IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL AS JONNY AIRHART NOW DRIVES SENSHI INTO THE HARD BARRICADE WITH A TOPE SUICIDA!! AIRHART SMIRKS AT MEGUMI BEFORE HE BRINGS SENSHI BACK INTO THE RING!! He follows her into the ring and grabs her hair! AND SHE WHIPS HER RIGHT OUT OF THE RING!! AIRHART JUST TOYING WITH SENSHI AS HE NOW RUNS THE ROPES YET AGAIN!! AND SENSHI IS FLATTENED ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH THE FOSBURY FLOP!! AIRHART JUMPS ONTO THE BARRICADE AND POSES WITH PANDORA PAISLEY AS THE UNO CHAMP KID HAS THIS MATCH ON COMPLETE LOCK!
Gavin Kirkland: My god.. Would you look at the cheeks of Pandora? Airhart, too! Absolutely magnificent!
Eve: All it took was for Pandora Paisley to stick her nose into this match and it completely changed the complexion of this match! Airhart enters and exits the ring and continues to be on the offensive at ringside. He stands her up and LITERALLY TAKES HER FEET OFF THE GROUND WITH A NASTY FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE!! Airhart is just enjoying this as he gets her up again! He leans Usagi up against the barricade! AND SPRINTS IN FROM THE LEFT!! AND FLOORS USAGI WITH A STIFF SHOOT KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! Airhart is not joking around as he picks her back up! He hooks the tights and hoists her up! She rests her feet onto the second rope from ringside! AND SHE USES IT TO SLINGSHOT USAGI INTO THE AIR!! AND CATAPULT HER INTO THE BARRICADE WITH A RELEASE SUPLEX TOSS!!
Gavin Kirkland: Airhart quickly brings her back into the ring and goes for the lateral press!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: AND JONNY AIRHART IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS THE KICK-OUT INTO A FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Airhart is not letting her rest as Usagi Senshi desperately attempts to escape out of the armbar! She is able to get on one foot and rolls forward to escape out of the Hiroshima armbar! Airhart tries to match the speed of Senshi! BUT SENSHI REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!! AND STUNS AIRHART WITH A SHOOT KICK!! AIRHART IS DOWN ONTO BOTH KNEES!! Senshi now connects with a forearm smash, followed by an european uppercut, and a spinning backfis-
Deadprez: AIRHART DUCKS THE SPINNING BACKFIST!! AND HE POKES THE EYE OF SENSHI! THE REFEREE WARNING AIRHART TO NOT DO THAT AGAIN AS AIRHART SCOOPS HIM UP!! AND HE DRIVES SENSHI DOWN WITH THE SIT-OUT MICHONIKU DRIVER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! AIRHART HOOKS THE LEG AND THIS COULD BE THE WIN!! WILL THEY CHOOSE THE STIPULATION AT THE SUPER SHOWDOWN EVENT!??
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: NOT YET! Off the kick-out, Airhart quickly decides to apply a chinlock on her. Senshi has endured a lot of damage in this match, but Megumi is supporting her at ringside! Airhart has had the upper hand throughout a majority of this match and Megumi needs something to turn the tides onto Serotonin’s own! MEGUMI NOW BEGINS TO FIGHT OUT OF THE CHINLOCK!! AIRHART SWEEPS THE LEG!! SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! AND A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE!! AND HE GOES FOR A STANDING MOONSAULT!! NO!! USAGI GETS OUT OF THE WAY!! AIRHART LANDS ON HER FEET AND DOUBLES DOWN ON A STANDING SHOOTING STAR SPLASH!! BUT USAGI GETS HER KNEES UP!! AIRHART’S ATTEMPT AT THE AERIAL COMBINATION SABOTAGED AS HIS MIDSECTION ATE HER KNEES HEAD ON!!

She wraps her arms around his waist!! AND SHE AIMS TO CONNECT WITH THAT HIGH ANGLE ACE PLEX!! BUT AIRHART CRAWLS UNDERNEATH HER LEGS!! AND SPIKES SENSHI WITH AN INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!! MY GOD!
Deadprez: SENSHI JUST GOT FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDION!! SHE IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AS AIRHART NOW RUNS ACROSS THE RING!! AND HE ASCENDS THE TURNBUCKLES AND JUMPS ONTO THE THIRD TURNBUCKLE!! WHAT THE!?!? SENSHI, OUT OF PURE INSTINCT FOLLOWS HIM ONTO THE THIRD TURNBUCKLE!! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION!! AND SHE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND HIS WAIST!! AND AIRHART GOES FLYING OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH THE ACE-PLEX OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! A SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX AS SENSHI CRAWLS OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: AAAH!!! SO CLOSE!! Senshi does not give any time to overthink the kick-out as she tries her best to bring Airhart back up to his feet as fast as possible! COME ON WAIFU!! ABSORB MY ENERGY AND USE IT ON HIM!! Senshi gets him up! AND SHE HAS HER UP IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY!! I THINK SHE IS GOING TO GO FOR THE SAMOAN DRIVER!! THE ANDRE WALKER DRIVER!! AND SENSHI DROPS HIM DOWN!! WAIT!! NO!! AIRHART USES THE MOMENTUM TO FLIP OVER ONTO HIS FEET!! UNBELIEVABLE ATHLETICISM!! AND AIRHART WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!! FOLLOWED BY A FLIPPING NECKBREAKER!
Deadprez: AIRHART NOW FOLLOWS IT UP BY BRINGING HER UP TO HER FEET!! AND HE GRABS USAGI SENSHI’S WRIST!! AND SPINS HER AROUND!! RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE!! NO!! AIRHART SLIDES DOWN BENEATH HIS LEGS!! AND SHE’S GOT THE PUMP HANDLE CINCHED IN!! AND SHE HOISTS HER UP!! AND DROPS HER DOWN ONTO HER KNEE!! PUMPHANDLE KNEE STRIKE!! DEVASTATING AS AIRHART SWAYS INTO HER CLUTCHES!! SENSHI PUSHES HIM FORWARD!! AND BLASTS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A KNEE STRIKE!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!
Gavin Kirkland: YES!! WAIFU REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!! AND CONNECTS OFF THE DOME WITH THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!!! IT CONNECTS!! THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF SENSHI’S CAREER!! AIRHART HAS TO BE DONE!! USAGI CRAWLS HERSELF OVER TO HIS LIFELESS BODY AND GOES FOR THE COVER!! BUT!! WAIT!! NO!!
Deadprez: PANDORA PAISLEY IS ON THE APRON AND SHE IS SCREAMING AT THE REFEREE!! WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE!! PAISLEY HAS ALREADY HELPED AIRHART GET THE UPPER HAND IN THIS MATCH AND SHE IS DOING THIS AGAIN!! The referee is not counting the pin as he is too occupied with dealing the outside threat that is Pandora Paisley! Serotonin walked into this match with an agenda that involves a whole lotta cheating! Absolutely ridiculous! Usagi Senshi is with the referee trying to get Pandora Paisley out of here!
Eve: AYU MEGUMI WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO PAISLEY’S LEGS!! AND PAISLEY’S FACE GOES UNPROTECTED SMACKING ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING!! PAISLEY MIGHT BE UNCONSCIOUS AS JONNY AIRHART CRAWLS UP FROM BEHIND!! AND HE ROLLS USAGI SENSHI UP!! SCHOOL BOY COVER!! AND AIRHART HAS A HANDFUL OF HER TIGHTS!! NO!! REFEREE!! LOOK AT IT!! NOT LIKE THIS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

AIRHART GETS THE COVER IN!!
( While Jonny Airhart gets the cover, her left foot is directly under the bottom rope. )
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ayu Megumi: OVER HERE!!!
Deadprez: AND THE REFEREE STOPS COUNTING TO SEE THAT HER FOOT ISN’T IN THE RING!! GREAT LOOKOUT FOR HER TAG TEAM PARTNER THERE AS JONNY AIRHART IS INCENSED!!
Jonny Airhart: MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!! GET OUTTA HERE!
Eve: AND AIRHART WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF SENSHI!! SENSHI IS OUT! SHE HAS TO BE IT!! AND AIRHART NOW BRINGS HER UP TO HIS FE-
Deadprez: OH MY!! LOOK!! SENSHI ROLLED HIM RIGHT INTO THE O’CONNOR ROLL!! AND SENSHI ARCHES BACKWARDS AND BRIDGES OVER FOR MORE LEVERAGE!! OH MY GOD!! CAN THIS BE IT!?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: WHAT?!?!?! USAGI SENSHI GETS THE VICTORY FOR THE ICE ACES!! OH MY GOD!!
( “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Yoko Takahashi blasts through the speakers. Usagi Senshi immediately springs up to her feet and raises her fists in victory. )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!! UUSSSAAAGGGIIIIIIII SENSHI-
Deadprez: JONNY AIRHART WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE BACK OF USAGI SENSHI’S HEAD!! AND PANDORA PAISLEY CREEPS UP AT RINGSIDE AND THROWS AYU MEGUMI FACE-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!! Usagi Senshi just won the opportunity for Ice Aces to pick the stipulation for their tag team match! The Ice Aces will have some sort of advantage come February and Serotonin obviously are not happy at all!
Eve: Airhart implements a ground and pound on Usagi Senshi while Pandora Paisley chucks Ayu Megumi into the squared circle. Airhart brings Senshi up to her feet! AND HE SWEEPS THE LEG!! WHILE PAISLEY CLOCKS HER IN THE HEAD WITH THE SPINNING MAFIA KICK!! CRIPPLING DEPRESSION CONNECTS!! Usagi Senshi is knocked unconscious as Serotonin now focuses their undivided attention onto Megumi! Megumi is trying to fight out of it! MEGUMI WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE!! BUT AIRHART THROWS HER INTO PAISLEY!! AND BOTH JUMP UP INTO THE AIR!! AND CONNECTS WITH CONUNDRUM!! AIRHART WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE WHILE PANDORA HITS A STEP UP ENZIGURI TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! SEROTONIN STANDS TALL OVER THE ICE ACES!!
Deadprez: The Ice Aces may have escaped this match with creative freedom over their Super Showdown main event, but Serotonin stands tall and gets the last laugh. And they may have possibly HURT them weeks before they could even face off in the week!
(Serotonin continues to celebrate their sneak attack, Pandora screams and laughs as it fades to a commercial.)
(Coming back from the break, we cut to the corridors, and immediately we see Harper Lee walking towards the Gorilla position, her match up next. As always, she seems supremely confident, and as she walks, she wrings her hands together, focused on what she is about to do. She turns a corner, and immediately stops in her tracks, before rolling her eyes and shaking her head. The camera pans out a little to reveal ARIA, the fans erupting with noise as they see her on the big screens. This ovation brings a smile to ARIA’s face, not so much to Harpers, who is the first to speak.)
Harper Lee: Obviously you didn’t learn anything from last week. I don’t have time for this ARIA.
ARIA: Let’s face it Harper, you don’t have time for anyone.
Harper Lee: I’m quite busy, you know, representing the Specialist Championship, it’s a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week kind of job. You’re lucky you don’t have that responsibility and never will, feel blessed.
ARIA: I don’t know about that, may be sooner than you think. So, you couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort last week huh?
Harper Lee: Effort? Let’s not forget I carried you in that match. Wrestling in your first Main Event thanks to me.
ARIA: Carried it? Whatever.
Harper Lee: Now you’re getting it. See, clever ARIA
(ARIA scoffs, she’d be a better champion and she knew it.)
ARIA: I’m getting sick of your games right now Harper. It’s about time someone put you in your place.
Harper Lee: Yeah, many people have tried, but what YOU going to do about it? Just because I wasn’t about to carry you to a tag team victory and do all the work, you think you can step up to ME. I decide when I want to play naughty or nice, if teaming with you is worth my fighting spirit. ARIA, I decide where and when I will show you exactly why you have literally no chance of taking this title away from me. And that’s because I carry this, because I understand what you have to do to remain champion.
(She pats the belt, shifting it on her shoulder.)
Harper Lee: You have no right to speak to me like this. None. And if it wasn’t for the fact, I would much rather humiliate you at King of Elite with the eyes of the world watching, as opposed to a meaningless little segment on Showdown, I’d put you on your ass right here, right now. How’s that for effort?
(ARIA dismisses the notion out of turn. She’d never liked Harper, but today she seemed more obnoxious than usual.)
ARIA: Is that right? Doesn’t sound like a champion to me. So after literally not even trying to work together last week, you expect me to believe you can turn it off and on like a switch?
Harper Lee: When you are that good, that’s precisely that you can do. But not being at that level, you wouldn’t understand. Tonight, I face Impact, maybe I’ll humiliate him, maybe I won’t and just put him out to pasture like a wounded horse. Probably will see as he’s a much more attractive proposition that you are. But what I can assure you is when this title is on the line, I’ll give you what it seems you’ve always craved. My fullest attention. But until then, you’re not even a blip on the radar. I know that hurts ARIA, but the truth does. You should thank me for giving it to you so generously.
(ARIA sighs deeply, ignoring Harper’s smug grin.)
ARIA: So that’s it? No excuses, no apology.
Harper Lee: That’s my point, I don’t have to explain myself to you, and I certainly don’t have to apologize. I’m Harper Lee, the Specialist Champion, and you are nothing but a wannabe Sherlock Holmes or what was it Pandora called you… oh yes, Nancy Drew, that one is cute. You’re not a challenger ARIA, and it’s pathetic Hawk is calling you that. You’ll always be beneath me. Get used to it.
(ARIA bites down on her bottom lip, resisting the temptation to punch Harper in her smarmy face, not wanting to give her the satisfaction.)
ARIA: I shouldn’t be surprised, not really. Harper Lee will always make sure that she looks after number one, that’s a given. We could have tried to work together and co-exist. Getting it done, but instead you had to be the same way you always are. I would have even taken your lead, if you’d given it a go. But that’s why Showdown lost at Territorial Invasion isn’t it? Because Harper Lee couldn’t lead a goddamn thing as she is too selfish and too self-absorbed.
Harper Lee: And because of that reason, I’m a champion here. And you ARIA are not. And never will be.
ARIA: It doesn’t matter anymore Harper. I don’t care. I don’t need detective skills to figure out your driving forces, or what makes you tick. And I certainly don’t have to be Sherlock to understand who you are. I don’t have to worry anymore Harper; all I have to bother myself with is making sure I kick your ass…
(ARIA steps up to her, Harper still wearing that smug smile, obviously not concerned by ARIA’s threat. She lifts a hand, and presses it against ARIA’s chest, keeping the distance.)
Harper Lee: Nice speech, but I have to remind you I have a match now, and you’re going to have to wait. Just a week ARIA, and at King of Elite, you’ll be able to show me that you’re not the scared little girl I think you are.
ARIA: Scared? I don’t think so Harper.
Harper Lee: You should be. You’ll never amount to anything other than a gimmick, a loser what will never make it in EAW. Leave, go be a…
(ARIA doesn’t allow her to finish her sentence, SMASHING HER FOREARM IN THE CHIN OF HARPER, dropping her where she stands. Harper is stunned, as ARIA stands over her, staring at her before glancing at the fallen Specialists Championship, Harper quickly grabbing it and holding it close.)
ARIA: We see about that Harper. We’ll how you feel about me when I walk into King of Elite as simply ARIA… and walk out the Specialist Champion.
(ARIA laughs, as she steps back a bit.)
ARIA: Good luck in your match tonight Champ… I sincerely hope Impact kicks your ass. See you next week.
(With a wink ARIA spins around and walks off, chuckling to herself, Harper still on the floor holding her jaw in total disbelief as it fades into a commercial.)
(Saturday Night Showdown fades back to a panaround of the United Center where the crowd is giving a mixed reaction of cheers and boos for ‘The Rumbling’ by SiM which is playing through the arena while the camera cuts over to the commentary table. Theron Nikolas is seen nonchalantly making his way over and taking a seat next to the Showdown commentary team, with one of his own t-shirts from EAW Shop over his ring gear.)
Deadprez: Theron of course, let me take the time to thank you for joining us here tonight. I’m sure you’re just as invested in this match as Impact was earlier in the night when you went up against Ronan Malosi.
Theron Nikolas: You could say that.
(The camera then goes over to show Gina Romano standing at the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest has a twenty minute time limit and it is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart is heard playing up through the speakers of the arena to absolutely thunderous boos being rained down from the rafters towards Harper Lee who is seen strutting out to the stage arrogantly with the Specialists Championship resting on her shoulder. She has a grin on her face while she spreads her arms out and takes a spin around, before raising her Championship high in the air and making her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… from Charlotte, North Carolina… weighing in at 118 pounds… she is the EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! THE WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR… HARPER LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Last week, Harper was in in-ring action in an unusual partnership alongside ARIA going up against the team of the Answers World Champion King Kass and TLA. In the end it was Harper who bailed at the end of the match, leaving ARIA high and dry for Kass to tap out and get her team the victory. In the end it was Kass attacking ARIA and TLA to end the show while Harper looked satisfied with seeing her King of Elite opponent knocked out.
Eve: And it seemed like Harper was more pleased with that than unsettled by the loss. But now she moves onto the next week against some tough competition against Impact. Harper does have some history with the man, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is going to be a huge challenge for her. And with Theron Nikolas at ringside, well, who knows what’s going to happen.
Gavin Kirkland: Well as long as I don’t get involved then I guess everything will be perfectly fine in my eyes! I mean that is going to happen right Theron…?
(Theron doesn’t say anything.)
Gavin Kirkland: Ok then :krabs:.
(Harper then makes her way up the steel steps and into the ring before taking her Specialists Championship and making her way up to the top rope, raising it high in the air while the crowd continues to rain down boos for her. From there, she then jumps down and makes her way towards her corner, getting ready while ‘Sweet Dreams’ begins to come to a close.)
(‘M3tamorphosis (ft. Kid Cudi)’ by Playboi Carti begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to a negative reaction being sounded once more upon the camera transitioning towards the stage showing Impact make his way out from the backstage area. White strobe lights flash around the arena while he scans around at the EAW Universe before shaking his head, keeping a serious look while he makes his way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Gina Romano: And her opponent… from Seattle, Washington… weighing in at 221 pounds… THE MOST WATCHED CHAMPION IN HISTORY… IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Last week was a scene that I’m sure our commentary partner can remember vividly. Impact and Theron had a contract signing to make their King of Elite match official, and it ended with Impact standing tall after slamming Theron through the contract signing table with a powerbomb, it was one hell of a statement.
Theron Nikolas: No need to remind me.
Eve: Well now Impact looks to keep his mean streak going, moving on to go up against the Specialists Champion, and you have to wonder if he’s keeping one eye behind his back just in case Theron has something up his sleeve. But that’s just something that we’ll have to see for ourselves. Impact knows what he’s doing, and nine times out of ten it ends with him standing tall in victory, so let’s find out!
Gavin Kirkland: :roman: I don’t know I think what Harper said this week was pretty accurate, he’s pretty fat and old. Who knows how much he might have left in the tank, if anything. But yeah, wait and see I guess.
(Impact makes his way up the steel steps before stepping onto the apron and entering into the ring from there. Impact stands at the center of the ring and looks around, with a serious look still plastered on his face while the crowd continues to jeer at him. From there he turns around and makes his way towards his corner, getting ready while ‘M3tamorphosis’ begins to come to a close from there and the referee begins to check on the two of them before ringing the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go as this singles bout is officially underway! Both Impact and Harper are beginning to make their way around the ring, taking their time and realizing that any sort of error they make especially in the early going could be fatal for their chances in this match. They begin to make their way towards the center of the ring, looking to engage in the traditional collar-and-elbow as a test of strength. They lock up, but Harper knows she’s at an extreme disadvantage in that category and immediately slips behind Impact and locks in a waist lock!
Eve: Impact tries to pry her grip away, before forcing the two of them backward and against the ropes leaving the referee to intervene and call for a rope break. Impact with quick thinking not looking to afford much right now and you can see the no nonsense look on Harper’s face right now. Both of them have something to prove here tonight and with Theron Nikolas watching closely at ringside just like Impact did in his match against Ronan Malosi, you never know what could happen.
Theron Nikolas: If you expect me to interfere in the match at some point, keep your expectations low. I’m not about that, no more.
Gavin Kirkland: :francis: One kick and his knees would turn to dust, but alright. Both of them are looking to lock up once more and continue onward, but before they can do so Harper takes the head of Impact before ramming her knee straight into his abdomen! Impact doubles over not expecting a cheap shot like that, BEFORE HARPER USES HER KNEE ONCE MORE THIS TIME SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAD DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Impact is down, and now Harper begins to repeatedly stomp down on him in hopes of keeping him down on the ground for the time being while she can!
Deadprez: Harper taking her boot and slamming it down onto the abdomen of Impact, completely taking the breath out of his body while she keeps it pressed there letting the sole of her foot dig in further! But it’s Impact that manages to bring his arm out and trip the other leg of Harper taking her down to the canvas! Impact keeping a hold of here while he gets back up to his feet, BEFORE DROPPING HIS KNEE DOWN ONTO IT IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HER GROUNDED! Harper managed to get the better of Impact for a second, but someone of his prowess is more than ready to counter that in a moment’s notice when the opportunity presents itself!
Eve: Harper keeping a hold of the knee but Impact isn’t giving her a chance to let the pain subside, grabbing her by her head before heaving her up to her feet with one arm while the other clutches his abdomen for the time being. Impact grabbing Harper by her arm now before sending her towards the turnbuckle padding, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! If Impact can keep this up, he’ll be one step closer to a victory!
Theron Nikolas: Thanks for the positivity Eve, because I too wish it were that easy.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact grabbing the head of Harper before throwing her down toward the center of the ring, RUNNING FORWARD BEFORE GRABBING HER BY HER HEAD AND LOOKING TO FACE PLANT HER WITH A BULLDOG! WHICH CONNECTS! Harper is grabbing her face in pain but is wasting absolutely no time beginning to recover and get back up to her feet. BUT BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN DO ANYTHING IMPACT FROM BEHIND GRABS HER BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT ONCE MORE WITH A SLEEPER SLAM!
Deadprez: Impact circling around now, trying to shake himself off while stopping Harper while she’s down. Impact running to the ropes and back, but Harper rolls over forcing Impact to jump over and run to the other side while she gets herself back up to her feet, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND TAKING IMPACT DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! Harper isn’t done though, RUNNING TO THE ROPES BEFORE USING THEM TO LAUNCH HERSELF OFF INTO A BEAUTIFUL SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO IMPACT! WHICH CONNECTS! HARPER HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO-
Eve: BUT IMPACT QUICKLY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Harper is back up to her feet shaking her head and waiting for Impact to get back up himself, HARPER RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE LOOKING TO TAKE IMPACT DOWN WITH A JUMPING BACK ELBOW! But Impact manages to duck under that leaving Harper to tumble down to the ground while Impact runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO HER CHEST! Which then leads to Impact grabbing ahold of the legs of Harper, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A POWERBOMB ATTEMPT!
Gavin Kirkland: But Harper being as small and pestering as she is manages to sway Impact towards the ropes, before bringing herself back and grabbing the ropes, SENDING IMPACT OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE! Harper lands on the apron but quickly jumps into the ring while Impact attempts to recover, RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE LEAPING THROUGH THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Deadprez: Harper connects before quickly bringing Impact up to his feet, AND SENDING IMPACT FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Harper is showing her aggression right now and she knows she needs that especially against someone like Impact. Harper is making her way over, but it’s Impact that sends an elbow towards the abdomen of Harper while he’s on a knee! Impact grabbing the head of Harper now, BEFORE SLAMMING IT ONTO THE FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE! Oh lord…
Theron Nikolas: What do you want?
(Harper crumbles down to the ground while Impact leans against the desk and takes a hard look at Theron with a smirk on his face. Theron doesn’t seem very phased and overall, just really couldn’t care less while he crosses his arms and leans back in his chair. Impact shakes his head with a scoff before grabbing Harper and rolling her back into the ring.)
Eve: Impact trying to get into the head of Theron now knowing that this is his chance more than any to press some buttons.
Theron Nikolas: Well he’s just going to have to try harder, I wish I could find it in me to care that much about what he does.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact entering back into the ring and grabbing a hold of Harper by her hair, and I’d personally love to grab a woman by her hair but that’s just me. Harper is trying her best to fight out of the significantly weakened Impact’s grip, but Impact holds on and instead connects with a earth shattering uppercut to her jaw! Harper stumbles back but attempts to step forward, only to be met with an elbow to the face by Impact! Harper falls back, BUT IMPACT GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A DISCUS ELBOW THIS TIME!
Deadprez: BUT HARPER MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BRUTAL RIGHT HOOK TO TAKE IMPACT DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE DRAGON FIST CONNECTS TAKING THE HALL OF FAMER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WHILE HARPER DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREE-
Eve: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! Harper nodding her head in acceptance realizing that she’s going to have to do a lot more while she begins to get back up to her feet. Harper grabs Impact and brings him up with her before sending him towards a corner with an Irish whip! Harper takes a moment to collect herself, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A HELLUVA KICK TO THE FACE OF IMPACT!
Gavin Kirkland: But Impact manages to dip his head under and manhandle Harper by sending her up and over the top rope! Harper manages to land on the apron though, WITH HARPER ATTEMPTING A SLINGSHOT DDT IN RESPONSE TO SPIKE IMPACT’S HEAD DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! But Impact manages to hold her up, BEFORE THROWING HER ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! Impact falling against the corner and collecting himself while Harper slowly gets up to her feet, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK TO THE FACE! Impact is managing to get back into this match and quickly, that veteran instinct coming into play once more!
Theron Nikolas: But I of all people know how far that can get you. Expect disappointment and you’ll never be disappointed.
Deadprez: Impact is right back up to his feet while he turns to Harper who is trying to get back up quickly, BUT IS ONLY MET WITH A FIST DROP TO HER FACE BY IMPACT! Impact isn’t done though turning around and beginning to run towards the ropes, LAUNCHING OFF OF THEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING FLIGHT SIGHTS! IMPACT WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT OF HIS OWN LOOKING TO TAKE DOWN HARPER!
Eve: But this time Harper knows better, managing to move out of the way and let Impact crash down to the canvas! Impact attempts to scramble up to his feet, BUT IS ONLY MET BY HARPER’S FOOT AS SHE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Impact rolls away towards the bottom rope and attempts to use them to get up as quickly as he can, BUT HARPER TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO KNOCK IMPACT TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: But Impact sees it coming, rolling to the outside before grabbing onto the legs of Harper! Impact pushing them away before grabbing the head of Harper and jumping onto the apron, BEFORE LEAPING UP ONTO IT AND CONNECTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL KNEE DROP SANDWICHING HARPER’S HEAD BETWEEN HIS KNEECAP AND THE EDGE OF THE APRON! Impact instantly pushing her back into the ring while he follows, BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHH-
Deadprez: BUT HARPER MANAGES TO KICK OUT QUICKLY! Harper is trying to find a way to recover, but is only met with Impact who mounts onto her and begins to slam down punches repeatedly! Impact just slammed his foot on the gas and now he is not looking to give it up for a second while he leaves Harper being forced to defend herself by blocking everything that she can! Harper is weakened right now and who knows how much she can take but ultimately Impact stops and gets back up to his feet, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE’S SLOWING DOWN GRABBING HARPER BEFORE LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER!
Eve: It’s all Impact right now with Harper being forced to find a way out of it while she slowly brings herself up to a knee, BUT IMPACT GRABS A HOLD OF HER BEFORE LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A SUPLEX! But Harper just found her leeway as she sends a knee downward onto the top of Impact’s head forcing her back down! Impact attempts to fight back by sending a forearm strike to the face of Harper! BUT HARPER BLOCKS IT BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KICK THAT TAKES IMPACT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper doing everything to keep herself up right now before making her way towards Impact and beginning to stomp down on him, looking to bide her time while she can to collect herself and continue to keep the momentum shifted into her favor. I’m sure if there’s one thing that Theron would want is for Harper to end the night standing tall over Impact.
Theron Nikolas: No, it’s not, because it wouldn’t prove anything for me.
Deadprez: Harper now grabbing Impact before beginning to bring him up to his feet, but Impact with the last ounce of energy that he has left manages to push Harper against the ropes before sending her into an Irish whip towards the opposite pair! But Harper manages to grab the ropes just in time before she can fall into Impact! Impact makes his way towards Harper, but it’s Harper that manages to connect with a boot to the face! Harper running forward now, BEFORE GOING FOR A STEP UP KNEE TO THE FACE OF IMPACT!
Eve: BUT IT’S IMPACT THAT MANAGES TO CATCH HARPER IN THE AIR BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER IN THE FORM OF THE ABSOLUTION! MICHINOKU DRIVER II DRILLS HARPER DOWN TO THE CANVAS BEFORE IMPACT ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG ATTEMPTING TO GO FOR A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HARPER MANAGES TO GET HER PETITE SHOULDER UPWARD! KICK OUT! You can see the frustration beginning to grow on the face of Impact against a stubborn opponent as he gets back up to his feet and grabs Harper as well. Impact sending Harper towards the corner with an Irish whip, BEFORE HE RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD OF HARPER COMPLETELY STUNNING HER! Harper now is thrown down to the center of the ring while Impact turns around and begins to climb up to the top rope! IMPACT LOOKING TO LAUNCH OFF AND GO FOR A MOONSAULT!
Deadprez: But before Impact can even lift off it’s Harper that quickly jumps onto the top rope alongside Impact and sends a shot right to his back stopping him before he can even begin! Harper grabbing him by his hair now before pulling him down and off of the top rope, grabbing him by his head now, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A BULLDOG TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! BUT IMPACT ONCE AGAIN MUSCLES OUT THE STRENGTH TO LIFT HARPER UP OFF THE MAT AND THROW HER OFF OF HIM!
Eve: Harper gets up to her feet in pain, WHILE IMPACT STEPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A LARIAT TO THE HEAD OF HARPER! But it’s Harper that manages to duck under that just in time before throwing Impact to the ropes and back, LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE TAKING IMPACT DOWN TO THE GROUND THIS TIME WITH A BEAUTIFUL FRANKENSTEINER! Harper is feeling it right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact is against the ropes trying to recover, BUT BEFORE LONG HE’S MET WITH HARPER RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING BOTH OF THEM TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A BRUTAL CACTUS CLOTHESLINE! Impact and Harper are down right in front of our announcers table and I have a feeling this is going to be one heck of a brawl!
Deadprez: Both of them are trying to find a way back up to their feet but it’s proven to be a tough situation at the moment with both of them having been through as much as they’ve been through in this matchup so far. Harper is up followed by Impact, as she steps forward and connects with a forearm to the face of Impact in hopes of keeping him at bay for the time being! But this has exploded into a fist fight with both of them connecting with punch after punch trying to get the better over the other while they can! The referee is on the inside and it looks like he’s about to begin the count to ten on the outside!
OONNEE!!
TTWWOO!!
Eve: HARPER! IMPACT! HARPER! IMPACT! HARPER! IMPACT! HARPER! But Impact manages to pull through and shove Harper away before anything more can be done! Harper stumbles back but attempts to make her way back towards Impact nonetheless, BUT IMPACT CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TOWARDS HER SKULL WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO A KNEE CLUTCHING AT HER HEAD! Impact isn’t done though, RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF HARPER WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! And Impact I think has his sights set on something else in this match, turning around once again to our commentary table…
(Impact gives a grin while he makes his way towards Theron who doesn’t look all that happy to see him either while he begins to badmouth him.)
Impact: (Off-Mic) What’s next after you’re done riding my coattails and attempting to stifle my greatness? Fading back to mediocrity?
Theron Nikolas: Don’t know, couldn’t tell you. Guess that’s something we’ll just have to find out with time-
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT JUST PUNCHED THERON RIGHT IN THE NOSE SENDING HIM DOWN AND OUT OF HIS CHAIR! Theron said that he wasn’t going to be in the business of putting his hands into the match, but I don’t think Impact gave him much of a choice after just provoking him the way he did. And I think this scene that’s going to unfold soon enough is going to be a nasty one!
Deadprez: THERON FROM UNDER GRABS THE WAIST OF IMPACT BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! IMPACT DIDN’T EXPECT THAT WHILE THERON BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES REPEATEDLY ON TOP OF IMPACT, WHILE THE REFEREE SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW! BOTH OF THEM ARE ATTACKING ONE ANOTHER RELENTLESSLY WHILE IMPACT BEGINS TO GET HIS BEARINGS, AND NOW THIS HAS DISSOLVED INTO AN ABSOLUTE BRAWL!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: AND THE REFEREE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE HERE AS THEY WERE FORCED TO RING THE BELL AND NOW THE MATCH IS THROWN OUT WHILE BOTH OF THEM CONTINUE TO HAMMER AWAY AT ONE ANOTHER! IMPACT CREATES ENOUGH DISTANCE TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT THERON MANAGES TO GRAB AHOLD OF HIM BEFORE PUSHING HIM SPINE FIRST AGAINST THE RINGPOST!
Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREE HAS MADE THEIR WAY OUT OF THE RING AND IS NOW TRYING TO SPLIT THE TWO OF THEM UP, DRAGGING THERON AWAY FROM IMPACT, BUT IT’S IMPACT THAT GRABS AHOLD OF THERON BEFORE SLAMMING HIM INTO THE APRON THIS TIME! BOTH OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTELY GOING AT ONE ANOTHER AND TEEING OFF WITH STRIKE AFTER STRIKE! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE TWO OF THEM NOW!
Deadprez: WE MIGHT JUST HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT AS SECURITY BEGINS TO RUN DOWN TO THE RING AND TRIES THEIR BEST TO SPLIT THIS ABSOLUTELY INSANE BRAWL UP! COULD THIS BE A PREVIEW OF WHAT WE’LL BE SEEING AT KING OF ELITE?!
(The camera goes over to security who does everything they can to pry the two Elitists away, while it also shows Harper Lee stumbling forward and snatching the Specialists Championship away before scurrying away to the back just not having it right now. Impact and Theron throw verbal jabs at one another while they’re both being desperately held back the best that they can at the moment. It’s an absolute warzone and it’s the last shot seen before Saturday Night Showdown from there begins to transition to the backstage area to show Veena Adam pacing back and forth in front of Charlie Marr’s locker room. She seems to be contemplating knocking on the door, but something seems to be holding her back. She goes to once again to grab the knob this time and turn it, but instead thinks against it. Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes for a second, thinking about it for a moment, she finally shakes her head and walks off. A few seconds later the door opens and shows Charlie Marr in his ring gear ready for the Main Event. He looks around for a moment, feeling like there was someone around, instead looking intense, he shrugs his shoulders and heads toward the ring.
Passing the other dressing rooms including Adam Lucas who is inside, and he is talking to Dr. Bethany Blue on Facetime.)
Dr. Bethany: I didn’t want to be a distraction; this is all about you tonight. I had my moment last night.
Adam Lucas: And I am so proud of you after that. Tonight, it is do or die for me Beth. I defeat Charlie, I’m in the finals of the King of Elite. Andre Walker qualified, Chris Elite Qualified, I want to be there.
(Bethany interrupts him, he looks down at her smiling face on his phone screen.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: And you will. Charlie Marr is on another level right now, I know better than anyone, he cost me the finals in the King of Elite back in 2020. It was my first singles loss, yeah it was fuckery, but does that really matter? No, he went on and almost became a King. You have the opportunity to make history, Adam. We both know how good you are. Charlie Marr is vicious, he knows how to win, but so do you.
Adam Lucas: I don’t want to fail.
Dr. Bethany Blue: You won’t. Just go out there and do what you’re best at, wrestling. Do not worry or think about anything else, alright?
(Adam nods, placing his fingers on the screen as does she. He then hears “Survivors Guilt” by Dave playing throughout the arena.)
Adam Lucas: I have to go.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I will be watching.
Adam Lucas: I lov….
Dr. Bethany Blue: … I know. Go.
(Adam shuts the phone off and stands up, walking out slowly to the ring as the camera pans to the ring and Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL WITH TV TIME REAMINING AND THERE MUST BE A WINNER FOR THE SEMI-FINALS IN THE KING OF ELITE MATCH WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE LAST ENTRANT IN THE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH IN THE FINALS AT HOUSTON, TEXAS!
(The crowd erupts in cheers.)
Gina Romano: ALREADY MAKING HIS WAY TOWARD THE RING, WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS! FROM TOWER HAMLETS IN LONDON, ENGLAND! HE IS THE MAN OF ALWAYS! CHARLIE MARR!!!!!!!!!!!
(Charlie continues to make his way toward the ring slowly, focusing on only that as he gets to the apron, slides in and sits in the corner, glaring at the entrance way.)
Deadprez: Have we ever seen Charlie Marr this serious? He is in a dangerous state of mind that not even Veena Adams was ready to go in and talk to him. He took out Amir Yusuf so methodically that he will be out for at least a month. Adam Lucas better be careful.
Eve: Charlie is looking to hurt someone here tonight; he can taste that King of Elite finals.
Gavin Kirkland: I can taste a lot of things, but no one wants to stand in the way of Charlie Marr right now, no one!
(Charlie waits patiently as his theme fades, it is replaced by “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell as the crowd erupts in cheers. Adam Lucas comes out, walking right to the ring with intense purpose as it is deafening.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! HE HAILS FROM NEW YORK CITY! WEIGHING IN AT 231 POUNDS! HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL….. ADAM LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(More cheers rain down as he hops into the ring and raises his arm to the delight of the fans.)
Eve: Absolutely deafening here and this has a big-time match feel! This is a Main event and either Charlie Marr or Adam Lucas are looking to join Andre Walker and Chris Elite in the triple threat to the finals in the King of Elite!
Gavin Kirkland: You know, Veena can come out here and sit with us for this match if she didn’t feel comfortable talking to Charlie!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas knows what is at stake, we know that his fiancé is in the finals in the Empress of Elite, can you imagine if this couple have the chance to become Empress and King of Elite!?
Gavin Kirkland: First couple in EAW if that is the case!
(The referee looks at both competitors and calls for the start of the match.)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Charlie Marr and Adam Lucas circle the ring and quickly go to lock up but Marr kicks Lucas in the midsection, forearm after forearm backing him up to the ropes, Adam trying to block it, but Charlie is so incensed as he continues to forearm Lucas in the face already drawing blood form his nose.)
Deadprez: OPENING SECONDS OF THIS MATCH AND ADAM LUCAS ALREADY BLEEDING! CHARLIE MAR CONTINUES TO FOREARM HIM AND THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP!
Referee: (Off Mic) 1! 2! 3! 4! ….
(Charlie breaks the hold and starts choking out Adam. The referee again jumps on the count and tries to break it up…)
Referee: (Off Mic) 1! 2! 3! 4! …..
(Charlie breaks the hold and whips him into the ropes….)
Deadprez: Lariat by Charlie Marr! He came out of the gates so fast and didn’t even give Adam the chance to get going, Charlie is not working by the hour and wants to turn this in quick! He can see the King of Elite Finals right there! He can touch it right now and he will do whatever it takes to get there! Stomping the hell out of Adam Lucas right now, he is so unrelenting! Not a care! Not a single care for human life!
Eve: Adam is shocked right now, doesn’t know what hit him! He hasn’t been able to get out of the gates at all! Charlie Marr has mauled him and completely taken this match, he knows though that he can’t allow for Adam to get going, that will be a fatal mistake on his part! But right now, he has him contained, picking up Adam and whipping him into the turnbuckle, his chest crashes in first, Charlie from behind with a huge release German Suplex and Adam Lucas is down, Charlie is on him! Choking him again damn it!
(Charlie starts to choke Adam again as he tries to struggle, but the referee is right back in there trying his best to stop Charlie from the onslaught.
Referee: (Off Mic) 1! 2! 3! 4! ….
(Charlie breaks the hold, this time he starts punching Lucas in the face, the blood from his nose starts to pour out more and now he has a busted lip. The referee again calls for the count….)
Referee: (Off Mic) 1! 2! 3! 4! ….
(Charlie breaks it, he then is back up, stomping on Adam before picking him up by the hair, quick snap suplex….)
Gavin Kirkland: At this rate we are going to have a pretty short Main Event and I get to spend the night in Chicago staying warm with the pretty ladies!
Eve: What pretty ladies.
Gavin Kirkland: Just let me have this, alright!
Deadprez: Charlie is in complete control, lifting up Adam, Gut Wrench suplex! Charlie is hitting a lot of impact moves here, he knows that its about tiring out Adam Lucas! He is not allowing them to even get a breather here! Charlie drives his boot, LOOK AT IT, HE IS GRINDING THE BOTTOM OF HIS BOOT IN ADAM’S FACE! HOW SICKENING! STOMPING IT OVER AND OVER!
(Adam Lucas is already a bloody mess, Charlie smiles and picks up Adam, whipping him into the turnbuckle, running in after him….)
Eve: BIG BOOT BY ADAM LUCAS! NO! CHARLIE MARR GRABS IT, HE STARTS DRAGGING ADAM OUT OF THE CORNER AND ….. ENZINGUIRI BY ADAM LUCAS! THAT CONNECTED AND CHARLIE MARR IS DAZED! THE CROWD HAS COME ALIVE AND ADAM NOW IS PLANTING SOME HARD RIGHTS AND LEFTS ON CHARLIE MARR! HE HAS HIM BACKED UP AND REELING, ADAM THIS TIME IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES, CHARLIE REVERSES, HE TRIES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT SPEAR!!! ADAM LUCAS WITH A SPEAR AND HE ALMOST TORE CHARLIE IN HALF! WE HAVE THE FIRST COVER OF THE NIGHT!
