(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in last week’s Showdown. Usagi Senshi dwells in what she did to Minerva and she promises she will be the next Universal Women’s Championship, that is before Minerva appears in the titantron, threatening Usagi and saying that Usagi did this to herself before Minerva then attacks her in the ring with Usagi fleeing away at the end. Jane Chrissty defeats Zaraguzen. Raven Roberts, Madison Kaline and Caroline gather in the ring to talk about their match and why they will win, before a brawl breaks out that ends with Madison standing tall. Candice versus Madison ends in a double count out, with Candice rushing to brawl with Bea who was watching from outside. Jade Phoenix and Damien Kutcher tease at the opportunity of being a team. KASAI defeats Hikari Kanno. Pandora and Halsey talk about being left out of King of Elite and they promise that they can make their own moments. Chef Viz defeats Kirk Redwood. ARIA talks about the personal problem she has to deal with before fighting Pandora as Harper Lee can be seen in the background while ARIA leaves the scene. Veena Adams defeats Delilah Rose but in the match Ashlynn accidentaly grabs onto Veena’s foot, as that makes Veena leave in anger while Ashlynn apologizes. Solomon Stane and Dr. Bethany Blue debate on their match and that they will be the winner. Adam Lucas defeats Mattias Burke. Kennedy Street tells Scott Diamond and Daryl Kinkade that they will face off against the loser of the Showdown Semifinals in a triple threat to determine who will be the next contender for the Answers World Championship. And in the main event, PJ Hendrx is able to overcome Jon Kelton and reach the finals of the King of Elite, as both Joso and Alex Myers appear to stare down PJ.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay. Blue fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the Showdown crowd can be seen cheering in excitement. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: Welcome everybody…TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!! We got an exciting episode of the show tonight, it is the Go-Home Show for King of Elite! Various exciting match-ups planned that will be an appetizer for what we will see in the next week!
Deadprez: We got Jane Chrissty going up against Daniella Atlas, Clayton Golde and Damien Kutcher looking to see if they can co-exist as they face off against Mattias Burke and Kirk Redwood, as well as Halsey Neel fighting off against Jade Phoenix.
Eve: We can see too Solomon Stane fighting off against Ashlynn Quinn and in our main event, Usagi Senshi facing off and taking on Raven Roberts!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME, WE GOT CHEF VIZ AND ADAM LUCAS WITH KENNEDY STREET AND MY FUTURE WIFE, ALANA STARR STARTING OUT, LET’S GET ON IT! :blessed:
(The camera switches backstage to the offices of Kennedy Street where both Chef Viz and Adam Lucas are there. She sist back in her chair, Alana Starr next to her along with AJAX. Alana, who has become the mouthpiece for Kennedy is with her arms folded, looking at Dr. Angelo D’Nagelo who whispers to Chef Viz.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: This very attractive white devil with her blue devilish eyes continues to stare at me.
Chef Viz: Don’t worry, Doc, she’s harmless.
Alana Starr: Am I?
Chef Viz: Now hold up, We are just saying that you are….
(She quickly interrupts.)
Alana Starr: A GOOD girl?
(Chef Viz and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo look at each other and start nodding their heads quickly.)
Chef Viz: Oh yeah… definitely GOOD.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Oh, for sure… GOOD.
(Adam Lucas with the Answers World Championship over his shoulder clears his throat.)
Kennedy Street: Right, let’s get to it, both of you won your matches last week, and honestly, your times were close as well, so honey, Kennie thinks while she was talking to Alana, that you two should figure out the stipulation of your match. So, why not let you two discuss this and come up with a stipulation?
Alana Starr: Yes, that is what’s most important right now, you two need to come up with it, we have given you the power to go ahead and come to a compromise, between two of the very best on Showdown. With that said, gentlemen, please…. The floor is yours.
(Adam turns to Chef Viz.)
Adam Lucas: To be fair Viz, any match with you would be an honor to defend this championship. I know that after the Chamber you were left with a bitter taste in your mouth, knowing that you could have had a legit chance to become the Answers World Champion, but that didn’t happen as you had hoped. I know that right now, you wanted a fair shot at this, and as we discussed, whether you do your thing or not, I have nothing but respect for you. With that said, I will give you the chance to pick any stipulation that you want, I am fine with whatever you choose.
(Chef Viz looks a bit surprised at this, but nods and glances over at Dr. Angelo D’Angelo who is rather impressed.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: It is always nice to meet a very honorable white man and not have a Caucasian situation here, to allow Chef Viz to pick the stipulation, we must say is very daring and honorable of you. At the same time probably foolish.
Chef Viz: I am going to give you one chance to change your mind, I’m okay with discussing what we want to do further. So, are you sure about this?
Adam Lucas: Very sure, seriously, go ahead, whatever you pick, I am fine with and here is why, because truth be told I know that I can beat a Hall of Fame legend in any type of match, whatever you pick, because I want to make sure that everyone knows what kind of champion I am and what I am willing to do in order to prove that I am the best to ever hold this championship. See Viz, far as I am concerned, nothing is really going to stop me from breaking records.
Chef Viz: Breaking records huh? Okay, then I will choose. See, we could do a cage match, no one gets in and no one gets out. Maybe a Hardcore or Street fight match, no rules, we just beat the hell outta each other. Lumberjack match? Nah they already got some Disney stuff happening. Iron Man would be incredible. So how about this, since you are so confident that you can beat me, why don’t we make it, oh I don’t know, 2 out of 3 falls match. That way, you have to beat me twice to retain the title and I have to beat you twice to retain.
(Adam thinks about it for a second, he then turns to Kennedy and Alana who both are rather impressed with the match choice of Chef Viz.)
Kennedy Street: Kenie has to admit, this match sounds fantastic. What do you think Alana, honey?
Alana Starr: It makes perfect sense, that way it eliminates any flukes, bottom line is that you have to defeat your opponent twice to retain or become the Answers World Champion? I think that is the perfect scenario, all that it needs is your approval Adam.
(Adam walks right up to Viz and extends his hand, Viz extends it back and they shake.)
Adam Lucas: Kennedy and Alana are right, it is the perfect scenario, and truth be told I think you are right, the only way I am going to prove myself is by beating you twice on the same night, so let’s do it. But I want to say this, Viz. After King of Elite, there are no excuses, we both have worn the crown, we both have won our championships at Pain for Pride, we both know what it is like to be at the top of the mountain. This is the top of the Mountain. So, at King of Elite, you and me, for the Answers World Championship in a two out of three falls match.
Chef Viz: Done. But let me leave you with this, Adam. You are a future Hall of Fame inductee, we both know that, but this is my time again, and I’m going to walk out as the Answers World Champion.
(The two men stare at each other as Adam raises the Answers World Championship. Kennedy and Alana both have huge smiles on their faces.)
Alana Starr: Then it is official. For the Answers World Championship, 2 out of 3 falls.
Kennedy Street: Thank you gents, now get out of my office.
(As Kennedy is gleaming with her main event at King of Elite, she smiles and nods to Alana as the camera shifts to ringside and the call of the first match with Gina Romano.)
( The camera opens up to a shot of Gina Romano present in the ring with a microphone in hand.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS OPENING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘ I’m Still Standing ‘ by Elton John begins to play as the crowd immediately begins to cheer as Jane Chrissty makes her way down the ramp and into the ring, a calm and composed look on her face as she acknowledges the reaction from the crowd. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNYSLVANIA, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND THREE POUNDS, SHE IS ‘THE DAMAGED SOUL’ JANE CHRISSTY!
( ‘ I’m Still Standing’ fades out and is immediately replaced with ‘ Bloodline ‘ by Northlane as the crowd begins to give a mixed reaction as Daniella Atlas makes her way down the ramp into the ring, a focused look on her face as she stares down her opponent. )
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT, FROM DUNKIRK, FRANCE, WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE POUNDS, SHE IS ‘THE BLACK FLAME’ DANIELLA ATLAS!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
DeadPrez: And here we go in our opening contest of the night, it’s Daniella Atlas making the first move as she instantly shoots for the legs of the smaller Jane Chrissty! Daniella has Jane’s leg and she pulls her back causing Jane to fall to the canvas! And it’s there that Daniella begins to work on the leg of Jane Chrissty, slamming her leg straight into the canvas before delivering kicks to the thigh and back of the leg!
Eve: Daniella isn’t wasting any time as she grabs at the leg of Jane once more– BUT JANE uses her free leg to kick back at Daniella catching her right in the mouth as Daniella immediately flies back! Jane pushes herself off the canvas and makes her way towards Daniella who seems to be momentarily stunned! JANE SENDS A BIG RIGHT HAND THAT JACKS THE JAW OF DANIELLA ATLAS CAUSING HER TO STUMBLE BACK, AND AS SOON AS SHE DOES JANE CHARGES AT HER JUMPING INTO THE AIR BEFORE MAKING CONTACT— JANE IS IN THE AIR AND SHE TAKES DANIELLA OUT WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE! NEARLING PUTTING DANIELLA ATLAS THROUGH THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Jane seems to be in control of this match now as she pulls Daniella back up to her feet and whips her towards the ropes! Daniella fires off the ropes and returns to Jane who squats down attempting to toss Daniella over her back, but Daniella has it scouted and she stops in her tracks before delivering a soccer kick to the face that sends Jane to both of her knees!
DeadPrez: Daniella doesn’t stop there as she pulls Jane back up to her feet by her hair, and as soon as Jane is back to a vertical base, Atlas picks her up in the spinebuster position, but instead of planting her into the canvas DANIELLA ATLAS RUSHES JANE INTO THE CORNER AND RAMS HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! THE FORCE OF THAT ALONE CAUSES JANE TO SINK TOWARDS THE CANVAS BUT DANIELLA ATLAS USES HER FOOT TO KEEP JANE STANDING!
Eve: DANIELLA ATLAS IMMEDIATELY BEGINS STOMPING AWAY AT THE CHEST AND TORSO OF JANE CHRISSTY WHO UP UNTIL THIS POINT HAD CONTROL OF THIS MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella is putting those long legs to work as she continues trying to stomp a hole into the chest of Jane Chrissty who’s done little to nothing to stop this onslaught! Meanwhile, Daniella Atlas begins to back away from the corner! I think she’s looking to build momentum for something HUGE!
Eve: You may be right Gavin! Daniella backs a few feet away from Jane who’s basically motionless in the corner— Daniella measures the distance AND CHARGES TOWARD JANE WHO! DANIELLA LEAPS TOWARDS JANE AND SANDWICHES HER BET–
DeadPrez: NO JANE CHRISSTY MOVES AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DANIELLA EATS THE TURNBUCKLE! DANIELLA ATLAS PROBABLY HAS A CONCUSSION RIGHT NOW AS SHE STUMBLES BACK FOLLOWING THE IMPACT OF HER HEAD COLLIDING WITH THAT THIN TURNBUCKLE PAD! DANIELLA PROBABLY DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS RIGHT NOW AS SHE TURNS AROUND INTO— A FLYING ELBOW FROM JANE CHRISSTY!!
Eve: JANE SAW HER SPOT AND PICKED IT FANTASTICALLY AS SHE NEARLY TOOK DANIELLA’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT FLYING ELBOW! JANE QUICKLY SCRAMBLES OVER TO DANIELLA TO MAKE THE PIN! SHE’S GOT THE LEG HOOKED!!
ONE!!!!
TWOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Almost! Daniella clearly has more in the tank, as Jane simply sighs and returns back to her feet! Meanwhile, on the canvas, Daniella Atlas is starting to stir and put together the pieces of what just hit her as she continues to favor her head.
DeadPrez: Daniella makes it back to a knee and as soon as she does JANE CHRISSTY RUSHES IN LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE RIGHT TO THE JAW—
Eve: NO DANIELLA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST MINUTE AS JANE GOES FLYING PAST HER, JANE QUICKLY TURNS AROUND TO LOCATE DANIELLA, BUT AS SOON AS SHE TURNS DANIELLA CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST THAT NEARLY KNOCKS JANES HEAD OFF HER SHOULDERS! DANIELLA TAKES A STEP FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A STIFF RIGHT THAT SENDS JANE STUMBLING BACK BUT BEFORE JANE COMPLETELY LOSES HER BALANCE DANIELLA RUSHES TOWARDS HER AND KNOCKS HER OFF OF HER FEET WITH A PICTURE-PERFECT DROPKICK!
DeadPrez: JANE NEARLY FELL OUT OF THE RING AFTER THAT DROPKICK BUT SHE USES THE ROPES TO HELP HER KEEP HER BALANCE, BUT LOOK AT DANIELLA WHO INSTANTLY CHARGES AT HER WRAPPING HER ARMS AROUND HER WAIST AND SHIFTING HER WEIGHT BACKWARDS PULLING JANE WITH HER! DANIELLA TOSSES JANE ACROSS THE RING LIKE A RAGDOLL EXECUTING A NICE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Eve: JANE CHRISSTY SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN AFTER THE IMPACT OF THAT BELLY TO BELLY! JANE IMMEDIATELY MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET FAVORING HER BACK, BUT SHE’S NOT GOING TO HAVE MUCH TIME TO ASSESS AS DANIELLA PULLS HER IN AND EXECUTES A VICIOUS UPPERCUT THAT CAUSES JANE TO LOSE HER BALANCE AND FALL BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA GRABS JANE BY THE HAIR ATTEMPTING ANOTHER UPPERCUT, BUT THIS TIME JANE FIGHTS BACK DELIVERING A KNEE TO THE RIBS OF DANIELLA ATLAS THAT CAUSES ATLAS TO DOUBLE OVER! JANE WASTES NO TIME WHATSOEVER AS SHE USES THE ROPES FOR MOMENTUM SPRINGBOARDING OFF THEM CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT THAT TAKES OUT BOTH HERSELF AND DANIELLA ATLAS! BOTH OF THEM ARE OUT OF IT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO CAUGHT THE WORST END OF THAT ONE! BUT NONETHELESS, JANE CHRISSTY HAS TURNED THE TIDE OF THIS MATCH AND SHE’S INCHING HER WAY OVER TO DANIELLA ATLAS!
DeadPrez: JANE MANAGES TO CRAWL HER WAY OVER TO DANIELLA ATLAS AND SHE PUSHES HER OVER ONTO HER BACK! JANE DRAPES HER ARM ACROSS THE CHEST! THIS MATCH MAY BE OVER!! JANE WITH THE COVER AS THE REFEREE SLIDES INTO POSITION!!
ONE!!!
TWOOOO!!!
THR—
Eve: DANIELLA ATLAS KICKS OUT JUST AS THE REFEREE’S HAND WAS COMING DOWN FOR THREE AND JANE CHRISSTY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
DeadPrez: Jane Chrissty was sure that she did enough to put this match away, and I’m almost certain if it were anyone else she was in the ring with here tonight, that would have been the exclamation point needed! That move would have been the deciding factor but Daniella Atlas refuses to quit and if Jane wants this match she’s going to need to keep her composure and got to the well one more time!
Eve: Well that seems to be exactly what she’s prepared to do as she picks Daniella up to a vertical base! JANE LEAPS UP — ZODIAC BREAKER!! THE CODEBREAKER CONN– NO WAIT THE STRENGTH OF DANIELLA ATLAS WHO MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO JANE CHRISSTY!! DANIELLA LIFTS HER UP IN A MODIFIED POWERBOMB POSITION AND JANE CHRISSTY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! SHE’S TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT BUT HER EFFORTS ARE FUTILE AS DANIELLA ATLAS POPS HER UP AND SLAMS HER INTO THE CANVAS WITH A POWERBOMB! DANIELLA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!!
ONE!!!
TWOOOO!!!
THR—
Gavin Kirkland: SO CLOSE! BUT JANE CHRISSTY GETS THE SHOULDER UP TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE! Daniella doesn’t seem surprised in the slightest though! She knew this match was going to go to the wire!
DeadPrez: That’s just how much winning means to both of these young elitists! Daniella walks over to Jane and pulls her up to her feet by her hair and out of instinct Jane immediately sends a punch to the ribs of Daniella Atlas! Daniella doubles over and Jane continues sending blow after blow effectively stopping all of Daniella’s offense as Jane makes it back to a vertical base! Daniella attempts to block some of these punches but Jane immediately begins punching away at the face and torso of Daniella attempting to soften her up!
Eve: PUNCH AFTER PUNCH AND DANIELLA IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THIS ONSLAUGHT AS SHE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER TRYING TO PROTECT HERSELF BUT IT’S THERE THAT JANE CHRISSTY BEGINS TO TURN UP THE OFFENSE! JANE TRAPS DANIELLA IN THE CORNER AND BEGINS ASCENDING UP THE TURNBUCKLE ALL THE WAY TO THE SECOND WHERE SHE STANDS OVER DANIELLA AND BEGINS LETTING HER FISTS FLY!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!!
FOUR!!
FIVE!!
SIX!!
SEVEN!!
EIGHT!!
NINE!!
TEN!!
DeadPrez: TEN UNANSWERED PUNCHES TO THE MUSH! AND DANIELLA ATLAS MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS RIGHT NOW AS JANE CHRISSTY HOPS DOWN FROM THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE ALLOWING DANIELLA TO FALL TO THE CANVAS BUT JUST AS SHE BEGINS TO FALL JANE CATCHES DANIELLA ON THE WAY DOWN ZODIAC BREAKER!! KNEE TO THE FACE AND SHE GOT ALL OF IT!! JANE HAS THIS MATCH WON!! IT’S OVER!! JANE QUICKLY COVERS DANIELLA ATLAS AND THE REFEREE SEES THE PIN!!
ONE!!!
TWOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S OVER!! JANE CHRISSTY PICKS UP A HUGE WIN OVER DANIELLA ATLAS–
DeadPrez: Hold on a second, Gavin! It looks like the referee is waving off the count!! DANIELLA’S FOOT WAS ON THE ROPE! DANIELLA HAD ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO SAVE HERSELF AND NOW JANE LOOKS COMPLETELY DISGRUNTLED! SHE HAD THIS MATCH WON! JANE CHRISSTY INSTANTLY POPS BACK UP TO HER FEET! SHE’S WONDERING WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO TO PUT DANIELLA AWAY COMPLETELY AND MAYBE A DECENT IDEA JUST POPPED INTO HER HEAD AS SHE PICKS DANIELLA AND LEANS HER AGAINST THE ROPES!
Eve: I don’t know what Jane has planned but it doesn’t look good for Daniella at all! JANE BACKS AWAY FROM DANIELLA PUTTING SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO AS SHE GETS A RUNNING START BUILDING MOMENTUM! JANE CHARGES AT DANIELLA AND LUNGES FORWARD!! JANES TRYING TO SPEAR DANIELLA OUT OF THE RING — AND SHE DOES!! SHE CONNE–
DeadPrez: NO DANIELLA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS JANE STOPS IN HER TRACKS!! JANE TURNS AROUND — BLACK DEATH!! THE DISCUS ELBOW CONNECTS RIGHT OFF THE SKULL OF JANE CHRISSTY WHO SINKS TO THE CANVAS AS DANIELLA ATLAS HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!
ONE!!!!
TWOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE IS YOUR WINNER ‘THE BLACK FLAME’ DANIELLA ATLAS!!
( ‘BloodLine’ by North Lane begins to play as the crowd gives a mixed reaction to Daniella Atlas getting her hand raised by the referee. )
DeadPrez: That match was a great back-and-forth effort, and honestly it could have gone either way! There were moments all throughout where it seemed as if either one of these young elitists could have pulled ahead and secured the victory against the other! In the end, Jane simply got too much into her own head and that cost her! But nonetheless, this was an amazing victory by Daniella Atlas, and I’m sure we’re going to be saying that a lot for the foreseeable future.
Eve: Credit where it’s due both of these women showed up and showed out and I completely agree there were moments where it seemed as if either of them could have won this thing. Both of them should hold their heads high after a performance like this but a special congratulations goes to Daniella Atlas! I look forward to seeing more of her in the future!
( The last shot is of Daniella Atlas celebrating her victory as Jane Chrissty can be seen disappointed sitting against the barricade before the camera fades to a commercial break )
(Showdown returns from commercial.)
Deadprez: What a night we have had thus far, and the scene has been set for what promises to be a historic King of Elite.
Eve: I don’t know about you Prez, but I can feel that anticipation in the air.
Deadprez: You’re right, this signals the back straight. The home stretch…
Gavin Kirkland: The cliches
Deadprez: I’m surprised you even know that word.
Gavin Kirkland: Look up ‘cliché’ in the Dictionary and you see a picture of Deadprez
Deadprez: Well, my dictionary doesn’t have pictures, so you can take your kids version and shove…
(‘Paint it Black’ by the Rolling Stones kicks in, and the crowd breaks out in a chorus of boos which intensify still further when Jon Kelton appears at the top of the ramp.)
Deadprez: Predictable reaction from this crowd for someone who has made himself very unpopular.
Gavin Kirkland: And someone who doesn’t give a damn if you like him or not.
Eve: He doesn’t look happy, and that can’t be any great surprise considering he was eliminated from the King of Elite tournament last week, having had his eyes firmly on the prize.
(Jon shakes his head dismissively, and then starts making his way down the ramp, avoiding anyone being able to touch him. He walks around the ring and snatches a mic from the announce table, before then rolling under the bottom rope.)
Deadprez: Wow, you can see the mood here. Jon Kelton is just about as unhappy as I have seen him in months.
(Kelton steps to the center of the ring and raises a hand.)
Jon Kelton: Cut my music… NOW!!!
(The music does indeed abruptly end, but it is replaced by the jeers from the crowd. Kelton listens for a moment as if using the reaction as fuel before he then lifts the mic to his mouth and starts to speak.)
Jon Kelton: Yeah, lap it up people. You’re all loving this aren’t you? Here I was, steamrolling towards the King of Elite finals, and it all came to an abrupt end. I bet all you fan girls and boys nearly lost your minds as PJ Hendrix…
(A huge roar almost distracts him, but Jon gets past it.)
Jon Kelton: Yeah, that’s him, got past me and made it to the finals, and will now get the chance to beat two no-marks and follow Adam Lucas, becoming King of Elite. And we all saw how that ended didn’t we? Adam going to Pain for Pride and becoming the Answers World Champion. PJ Hendrix now gets that chance. And me… I’ve given a ‘second chance’ against two people who don’t even deserve to be in the same ring as myself. And I get why you are all so goddamn happy, I mean PJ is the ‘chosen’ one around these parts now isn’t he? Everyone bathes in that dude aura like he is the messiah, or second coming. Anyone who didn’t watch that match will now believe that I’m pissed off at not being in the finals because PJ was better than me. And I am pissed off people, but not how you may believe. I’m pissed because quite simply I SHOULD be in those finals. PJ was obviously nothing like my equal. I’m not in those finals for one simple reason.
(Jon turns towards the camera, his steely gaze almost piercing the lens.)
Jon Kelton: Daryl Kinkade.
(There is a mixed ovation for Daryl, which Jon digests, a sneer forming on his face.)
Eve: I mean, he is kind of correct.
Deadprez: Still… he’s making out like the result of his match with PJ was obvious when it wasn’t.
Gavin Kirkland: Will you people shush, I’m trying to listen here?
(Jon, having pacing the ring a little, comes to a half, and once again speaks.)
Jon Kelton: This was supposed to be my moment, and like everything else it was taken from me. I’m so goddamn sick of this happening, and everyone else turning a blind eye like I don’t matter. I’m tired of having to make excuses for things that were out of my control because others couldn’t mind their own business. Since losing the National Elite Championship, nothing has gone right. And this, right here is the line in the sand. It changes, and it changes right now. And…
Voice: Oh, WAH, WAH, WAH… will someone get this clown a tissue or something?
(Daryl Kinkade appears at the top of the ramp, rubbing his eyes to mock Jon who looks even more pissed than he did a few moments ago. Daryl doesn’t hesitate, and actually seems surprised by the reaction he is getting, as there are many cheers amongst it.)
Deadprez: Is Daryl Kinkade getting cheered here?
Eve: I think he is… the lesser of two evils perhaps?
Gavin Kirkland: You people sleep on Daryl Kinkade when he should already be Answers World Champion and would have been if it wasn’t for a shoddy referee.
(Daryl has walked down the ring and up the steps, and then motions for Jon to back of which he does, even though he would rather rip Daryl’s eyes out. Once in the ring, Daryl points at Jon.)
Daryl Kinkade: Bruv, none of this is my fault, and you must be on something if you think otherwise. I don’t know what you are smoking on whatever planet you live on, but you should share, you know?
Jon Kelton: You’re a funny guy Daryl.
Daryl Kinkade: Yes, Yes, I am, and you are the best material I could wish for. See, from where we are all looking from, you have had all the opportunities in the world to make something of yourself, and yet you have failed. Instead of a Decade of Dominance, when people talk about your career it’s more like a decade of disaster. It’s not my fault, or anyone else for that matter that you are a constant nag and loser, that’s all on you. And here you are, still whining about King of Elite, whilst failing to see the bigger picture.
Jon Kelton: Please, enlighten me.
Daryl Kinkade: Oh, I will Bruv. See, while PJ might now be fighting for a crown, he’s no closer to a World Title shot than you, Scott or me. If anything, when I win at King of Elite, regardless of what that jackass does, I’ll get my shot before he does. Funny old world isn’t it? And Jon, if you can’t figure that out for yourself, if you can’t think for yourself, then I must question, are you the right person to lead Devolution? I mean, I wonder if those three lovely British women have figured that out as well, seeing as they have obviously decided to do their own thing.
(Daryl Kinkade steps a little closer, and his eyes narrow a little.)
Daryl Kinkade: Maybe what they need is a strong Brit like me to lead them
(A sneer forms on Jon’s face, as he obviously didn’t like that statement. Kinkade just laughs, and goes to turn away. Kelton then spins him around and smashes him in the face with the microphone, stunning Daryl for a moment, Kelton then running straight into a right hand from Daryl as a brawl ensues.)
Deadprez: Here we go… as if we didn’t know this was going to happen.
(Daryl grabs Jon’s arm and whips him spine first into the corner, then tries to follow it in with a clothesline but runs straight into a raised knee. Daryl drops to one knee, and Kelton measures a punt, but Kinkade ducks underneath it and to his feet. Kelton hits Daryl with a low blow, but although stunned Daryl gets off a headbutt, the fans suddenly roar their approval as Daryl and Jon then trade punches.)
Deadprez: IT’S SCOTT DIAMOND. SCOTT DIAMOND AS HAD ENOUGH!!!
(Scott slides under the bottom rope and into the ring, Jon realizing trouble and turning around from Kinkade, just as Diamond almost cuts him in half with a devastating spear. Kinkade fires off a couple of right hands, which don’t trouble Scott in the slightest, Darly then running in, straight in Scott’s arms, and he bails him over and into the turnbuckle. The crowd is going made, and Scott signifies his finisher, looking to put both individuals away, but both Jon and Darly have the presence of mind to roll out the ring, Kinkade escaping through the crowd, as Jon backs up the ramp pointing at Diamond. Scott picks up a dropped mic and lifts it to his lips.)
Scott Diamond: King of Elite, that title shot… is MINE!!!
(Scott drops the mic which bounces off the mat with a thud. ‘In the Air tonight’ by Phil Collins hits as Scott stares at both Jon and Daryl in turn.)
Deadprez: All three individuals making a statement, but there is no question that Scott’s was the most emphatic. Scott has flattered to deceive thus far this season, but are the winds changing for him?
Eve: He has all the attributes. Jon Kelton and Daryl Kinkade may have just woken the monster.
Gavin Kirkland: Damn…
(The camera pans round all three individuals, before then cutting too commercial.)
(As it comes back from the commercial break, ‘Betty (Get Money)!’ by Yung Gravy begins as golden smoke emerges on the stage. Clayton Golde emerges from it with some famous OnlyFans girl with him. He makes out with her and then shoots her backstage. He spreads his arm wide as a spotlight descends down upon him.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM AN DISCLOSED LOCATION IN ROMANIA…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…’THE GOSPEL’…CLAYTON GOLDE!
(The crowd boos as loudly as they can as he begins to strut down towards the ring. ‘Betty (Get Money)!’ is cut off by ‘Hard out Here For a Pimp’ by Three Six Mafia and Paula Campbell plays. Golde stares angrily at the stage as Damien Kutcher’s 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham pulls up onto the stage. The crowd has a friendlier reaction to Kutcher, but not by much.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS PARTNER…FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE…WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS…HE IS “MR. HUSTLE & FLOW”…DAMIEN KUTCHER!
Eve: This is very much of a case of “can they co-exist” for these two right here! Kutcher and Golde are both very impressive wrestlers in their own right. Kutcher has proven capable of holding his own against top tier elitists. Golde has proven that he will do anything it takes to win. The only problem is that they have egos that would give skyscrapers inferiority complexes! If they are going to win tonight, those egos will have to be put to the side!
(Kutcher and Golde get in the ring. They take turns showing off for the crowd and shooting each other dirty looks. ‘Hard Out Here For a Pimp’ is replaced by “We Won’t Back Down’ by Ra. Mattias Burke steps on out to the stage and the crowd roars for him. He soaks it in and starts pointing to the fans.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…FIRST FROM LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND…WEIGHING IN AT 185 POUNDS…’THE DEVIATION’…MATTIAS BURKE!
(He starts heading towards the ring, high fiving the fans on the way to the ring. ‘We Won’t Back Down’ is soon replaced by ‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ by Blues Saraceno. Redwood emerges from the white smoke gathering on the stage with his fists both raised in the air. He aims both arms at the camera, revealing the names of his opponents on both fists.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS….HE IS “THE UNKILLABLE”…..KIRK REDWOOD!
Deadprez: Last week, we witnessed career-defining performances from these two men. Kirk Redwood brought the fight to Chef Viz in a way we had never seen! Mattias Burke went out there and went mano y mano with the Answers World Champion. They are here tonight looking to build off that momentum. But you already tell that they don’t exactly love one another either! Which team is going to focus up and get the job done?
(Redwood steps into the ring and gives Burke a cold glance. He then immediately gets in the faces of Golde and Kutcher. The teams head to their corners to decide who’s entering first, but there is a tension between partners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkwood: This one is underway here and it looks like Damien Kutcher and Kirk Redwood are going to kick things off for their teams! WAIT! Clayton Golde tags himself in already! There is only one Alpha Male and you’re looking at him folks! He is already establishing dominance over his own partner, now it’s time to do so to Redwood! He steps right to bat and looks for a big boot on Redwood, but Kirk dodges out of the way with ease! He grabs his opponent from behind…GERMAN SUPLEX! Right out of the gate Golde seems to be in danger! He sprawls over to Kutcher and tags him in! Clearly he wasn’t ready for that maneuver from Redwood! Kutcher enters the fray and Redwood is telling him to bring it! And he does!
Eve: Damian Kutcher rushes at Redwood with the bicycle kick! Once again Redwood sidesteps it! He looks for another suplex, but Kutcher knows what’s coming! He smashes his opponent in the jaw with an elbow! AND THEN A CAPOEIRA KICK! It gets Kirk right in the side of the skull, sending him reeling in the corner! Kutcher wastes no time, heading back into a massive back elbow! He then begins to stomp on Redwood in the corner! Over and over again, Kutcher is going off here! Finally, the ref has had enough and he tells Damien to back away! Looks like “Mr Hustle & Flow” lets his opponent go, then heads to his corner to tag in Clayton Golde! Clayton seems all too eager to beat on the down Redwood! BUT DAMIEN WITHDRAWS HIS HAND! That is not wise thinking, taunting your own partner! Clearly Kutcher wants to hog the glory here!
Deadprez: And that right there is going to come back to bite him! He runs at Redwood again, looking for a clothesline in the corner! REDWOOD INTERCEPTS WITH THE KNEE STRIKES! Before Kutcher can hit the mat, Redwood pulls him forward for a brutal uppercut! Kutcher is down and I swear I can see a smile on the face of Golde! Redwood with a slap to the back of his opponent’s head, telling him to get back to his feet! Kutcher does and takes a nasty chop to the chest! HE RETURNS FIRE…BUT KIRK CATCHES THE ARM! He drives Kutcher into the ground with an armbar, showcasing some of his overlooked technical skills! You can tell that Damien is in pain, but he’s trying his best to hide that from his partner! Damien makes the most out of his size and strength, dragging himself to the ropes in order to force the break! Redwood releases and rolls off his opponent! You can see Mattias Burke on the ropes, eager for the tag but Redwood pays him no mind!
Gavin Kirkland: Damien needs to tag in The Gigachad if he wants to win this! He gets back to his feet and wanders towards his partner, but REDWOOD GRABS HIM BEHIND WITH THE HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX! He’s launched back into the center of the ring where starts hammering down on him with elbows! He’s having way too much fun beating the crap out of Kutcher here! He looks up and sees Mattias Burke extending his hand! Redwood looks relutenct to tag in Burke, but he has enough experience in a team to recognize that you have to conserve energy!
TAG!
Eve: BURKE IS IN! HE RUSHES IN AND LOOKS FOR THE STANDING SENTON! Kutcher is in danger here if he doesn’t put his ego aside! Burke brings his opponent back up to a vertical basis! Kutcher lashes out wildly but Burke ducks under…PELE KICK! NO! KUTCHER CATCHES THE LEG AND SHOVES IT DOWN! HUGE JUMPING ELBOW DROP! Kutcher springs back to his feet and stares down Clayton Golde in the corner! He looks tempted to tag him in, but instead scrapes Burke off the ground and hits a scoop slam! He’s back in control here, so the only question is how he’s going to capitalize on it! He grabs Burke by the mast, bringing him back to his feet…RIDIN’ DIRTY! THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE FAILS TO FIND ITS MARK! BURKE DUCKS UNDER AND HITS THE BACKSTABBER! He then shoves Kutcher into his own corner and tells Golde to get inside the ring! Seeing that his partner is looking in rough condition, it doesn’t seem like he has much choice here!
TAG!
Deadprez: Golde tags himself in and straight away he rolls to the outside! Burke goes to follow, but as soon as he gets to the outside he’s ambushed! STANDING DROPKICK BY GOLDE! A smile comes across the face of the Clout-Shark, satisfied with the cheap trick he pulled off there! He grabs Mattias Burke and drops him onto the steel apron with a stun gun! He rolls his opponent back inside the ring, but stays on the outside…he grabs the arm of Burke AND PULLS HIM INTO THE ROPES! Golde is making the most out of the ring here! And look at that, he’s communicating with Kutcher, telling him to get ready! He lifts Burke above his head and DROPS HIM RIGHT INTO THE UPPERCUT BY KUTCHER! Burke is in severe trouble here, but Clayton Golde isn’t looking for a cover quite yet! Instead, he picks his opponent back up and locks in the sleeper hold!
Gavin Kirkland: This one might as well be over! There is no escape from the Golden God! Burke should just take his nap and surrender! BUT NO! He reaches out towards his partner, trying to get the tag in to escape the hold! Golde refuses to let him move an inch, pulling him back anytime there’s any distance covered! WAIT! BURKE STOMPS ON THE FOOT OF GOLDE! HE THEN GETS HIM WITH THE ENZUIGIRI! Golde falls down to one knee and it looks like Burke might have an opportunity here! He stumbles towards his partner in the corner…BUT GOLDE LOOKS FOR THE INVERTED HURRICANRANA! BURKE LANDS ON HIS FEET! SNAP DDT TO GOLDE! TAG! Burke tags in Redwood…AND THEN HITS AN INVERTED HEADLOCK BACKBREAKER ON GOLDE! He holds him there while Redwood climbs on the top rope…KNEE DROP! What a devastating combination from Burke and Redwood! There’s the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Eve: Golde manages to kick out! He attempts to crawl over to his corner, desperate for a tag but Redwood locks in an ankle lock! Golde yells out in pain and now it’s Kutcher with a smile on his face! This seems to motivate Golde…he reaches out and grabs the ropes, securing the break! Redwood begrudgingly lets his opponent go but immediately looks to reapply the offense! GOLDE BRINGS A KNEE RIGHT INTO THE GUT OF HIS OPPONENT! He then grabs him by the side and CONNECTS WITH A TEARDROP SUPLEX! He reaches out towards the ropes and tags in Kutcher! He holds him down in the corner…WHILE KUTCHER CONNECTS WITH THE STINGER SPLASH! Kutcher now is back on the offensive, stomping away on Redwood!
Gavin Kirkland: It seems as if Kutcher and Golde are finding a way to work together now! Sometimes even those who can’t stand each other can prioritize! Kutcher grabs the arm of Redwood and pulls him up to his feet…PUMPHANDLE SLAM SENDS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN! He then drags Redwood over to the ropes, draping him headfirst over the middle one! Kutcher then goes over to the ref and starts chatting with him? He’s pulling away his attention…AND GOLDE HITS THE GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Great minds think alike folks! Kutcher immediately drops the act, heading to the outside of the ring! RICKY! He delivers the drive by kick on the apron, getting Kirk Redwood right on the temple! He rushes back inside the ring for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Eve: And Redwood manages to kick out at two! You can tell that Kutcher seems greatly disappointed at that! And look at that, he’s going over to yell at Golde! Seriously, they were just working so well together a moment ago! And now Kutcher is focused on passing blame, instead of on Kirk Redwood who is crawling towards Mattias Burke! TAG! Kutcher turns around INTO A SLING BLADE FROM THE DEVIATION! He scrambles back to his feet while Burke makes his way towards the ropes! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! It looks like Burke is going off here and he lets Kutcher stumble over to his corner and tag in Golde! GOLDE COMES IN AT RUSHES AT BURKE! He looks for a clothesline but Burke kicks the arm! He grabs the arm…CRUCIFIX DRIVER! He is on a roll here ladies and gentlemen! Burke wants something bigger here…he looks for DESTINATION UNKNOWN! THE REVERSE SWINGING STO! BUT GOLDE SHOVES HIM AWAY AND ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: That is not where you want to be against a man like Burke! In fact, Burke is looking to fly high with the TRIANGLE ASAI MOONSAULT! WAIT A SECOND! KUTCHER PULLS THE ROPES RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER HIM! Mattias Burke takes a nasty spill onto the outside of the ring! Kutcher heads on to the outside and waits for him to get back up! RIGHT THURR! HE GETS HIM WITH THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE AND THROWS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! He’s now yelling at Clayton, telling him to get back inside and the ring! Golde comes to his senses and heads inside the ring! He waits for Mattias to get on his feet before running to the ropes…HE LOOKS FOR THE BRAND DEAL! But springboard stunner is MET BY A KNEE IN THE SPINE! BURKE SAVES HIMSELF WITH AN ACT OF DESPERATION! BOTH MEN LOOK FOR THE TAG, CRAWLING TOWARDS THEIR PARTNERS!
TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: Redwood and Kutcher are both the legal men once again! Kutcher looks for a spin kick…but Redwood ducks out of the way! He waits for his opponent to regain their foot before unloading on Kutcher with a series of kicks and elbows! Kutcher shoves him away, but REDWOOD RUSHES BACK AND GETS HIM WITH THE RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! He’s looking for some punishment here…grabbing the legs of his opponent and applying the COLLINS LOCK! THE FIGURE FOUR SHARPSHOOTER IS IN! KUTCHER DESPERATELY REACHES OUT FOR HIS PARTNER, BUT GOLDE IS RECOVERING ON THE OUTSIDE! We could be seeing the end here! Once he realizes that a tag just isn’t plausible, he attempts to crawl towards the ropes like he did for earlier submission holds! This time Kirk keeps him dead in the center of the ring! WAIT! It looks Golde is heading back in to help his partner! DEMONETIZED! HE GETS REDWOOD RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE DISCUS ELBOW! Golde then throws his partner into the corner and forces the tag! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Eve: NO! Redwood kicks out! Golde can’t believe it! He’s telling the ref that it was a three, but he knows what he counted! Golde is going to have to dig even deeper if he wants to win here! Golde grabs Redwood by the beard and forces him back onto his feet! He puts his hand right up against his chest, evidently wanting that One-Inch Punch! KIRK HEADBUTTS HIM! Clayton seems more shocked than hurt from that one! Before he can react REDWOOD GETS HIM WITH THE EXPLODER! HE TOSSES HIM TOWARDS BURKE BEFORE TAGGING HIM IN! He then connects with the stiffest slap I’ve ever seen right across the face of his opponent before handing him over to Burke! Burke wastes little time here! DEADFALL! HE HITS THE EMERALD FLOWSION AND THEN COVERS!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Deadprez: Kick out from Golde! Burke remains focused here, trapping the arm of his opponent and driving his elbow into the collarbone! HE TRANSITIONS INTO THE DRAGON SLEEPER! Burke and Redwood have both been using submission holds all match, trying to control their opposition and wear them down! You can see here that Golde does not have a whole lot of fight left in him! And it looks like Kutcher is on the ropes, yelling at the ref! The ref goes over to check on him…GOLDE RAKES THE EYES OF BURKE! He manages to escape the hold! Clayton Golde gets back to his feet…FAMOUSER TO BURKE! Just like that the tides have turned here! Golde crawl back over to his corner where an eager Kutcher awaits!
TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE HE COMES! Kutcher jumps into the ring and just starts stomping on Burke! He heads up to the top rope now, possibly looking to finally put an end to this match! WE! FLY! HIGH! KUTCHER WITH THE FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! BUT BURKE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY ALLOWING KUTCHER TO SMASH DOWN INTO THE MAT! And before Kutcher can find his footing, Burke smashes him in the back of the head with a hidden blade! Kutcher is in a barely conscious state, but Burke looks to build some speeding running off the ropes…BLAST POINT! THE BICYCLE KNEE RIGHT IN THE BACK OF KUTCHER’S HEAD! He nods to Kirk Redwood…
TAG!
Eve: And Kirk is tagged back into the match! Before he heads back to the apron…BURKE LOOKS FOR THE GREETINGS FROM LIVERPOOL! THE REVERSE SWINGING STO…INTO THE KNEE OF REDWOOD! Kirk tries for a cover, but Golde rushes into the ring and drops him with a ONE INCH PUNCH! He then tries to get Kutcher back on his feet, but Kutcher can barely stand! The ref is telling Golde that he has to get out and he does! But as his back is turned…KUTCHER HITS REDWOOD WITH A LOW BLOW! Another distraction levied out by Kutcher and Golde! Both men are now down and their partners are begging them for the tag! Kutcher is the first one to his feet, but he just shakes his head at Golde! He wants to be the one that gets the win!
Deadprez: He pulls Redwood away from his corner and drops him with a suplex! Golde now comes back inside the ring and lifts up Redwood in position for a powerbomb! He’s barking orders at his partner, telling him that they can finish this right here! Kutcher makes his climb to the top rope, looking for finishing touches! WAIT! REDWOOD ELBOWS THE SKULL OF GOLDE! Golde is forced to drop him down onto his feet! REDWOOD DRIVES HIM INTO THE CORNER WHERE KUTCHER IS! Kutcher manages to leap off the turnbuckle in the nick of time and roll to his feet! HE LOOKS FOR THE DIRTY SOUTH BUT REDWOOD USES GOLDE AS A SHIELD!
Gavin Kirkland: Kutcher nails his own partner in the face! He can’t believe it! While he’s focused on that, Redwood comes from behind with A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Kirk Redwood then lifts his opponent up off the mat and puts him in position for the finish! DOWN! TO! HELL! Leaping tombstone piledriver from Redwood! He now looks for the cover on Kutcher!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘The Dark Horse Always Wins’ by Blues Saraceno begins to play as Kirk Redwood pushes himself off of Kutcher. Burke enters the ring to celebrate with him.)
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS…’UNKILLABLE’ KIRK REDWOOD AND ‘THE DEVIATION’ MATTIAS BURKE!
Eve: That certainly was an interesting match! Golde and Kutcher could not overcome their own egos! There were times where it seemed they might be able to work together, but in the end they couldn’t get along! Burke and Redwood on the other hand focused on the task at hand! They worked together, kept their cool, and because of that they were able to pull off the victory!
(Redwood and Burke as the crowd cheers the two of them on. The camera pans to the outside where Golde and Kutcher seem to be talking with one another. Golde actually shakes his hand and begins helping back up the ramp.)
Deadprez: Look at that. Even in loss they were able to overcome their differences. Perhaps this is the start of a wonderful tag team…OR NOT! C’EST LA VIE BY GOLDE ONTO KUTCHER! Golde was evidently not happy about Kutcher’s performance in that match! He grabs a fistful of hair and gets in his face!
Clayton Golde (Off-mic): This is why I don’t team with beta-male cucks.
(Golde then smashes his face onto the ramp before heading towards the stage as it fades elsewhere.)
(The camera would pan far, far away from the Showdown arena, Princess Candice was standing in a very majestic area, as she was surrounded by Disney princesses alike. It was very convenient that they were having a tea party. Princess Candice took a drink of Tea, as she looked at the camera.)
Princess Candice: You know, I was looking back at when Disney was in its early ages, the age Bea Valentine clamors so much about, and I have to state my establishment for it briefly, Steamboat Willie truthfully set the tone, but it is absolutely impossible for a story to be told, in black and white! There’s just so much that the cameras then couldn’t pick up on! I do extremely worry that, the longer Bea Valentine holds Gloria captive, the dumber her ideas are going to be. I don’t want to see a black and white Specialists Championship. That wouldn’t be good at all! Am I right ladies?
Snow White: I am fortunate enough to come along, just right after the modern way we watch cinema was invented. And you are correct Princess Candice. I do believe that if we were forced to watch everything black and white, a bad butterfly effect would have hit our entire castles!
(Snow White chimed in, at the question Princess Candice asked. Candice nodded, because she was being rightfully serious, as the first Golden Age Disney Princess.)
Princess Candice: I just can’t imagine a reality without all the colors being bestowed. I think that Bea Valentine in a different world, could seriously fathom as a Disney princess! Though I believe she is disgusting, vulgar and ✨ ️ Not entirely right in the head ✨ ️. I think if she looked past all that she could have been her own princess! But unfortunately, the circumstances were more like another Disney property. She went to the dark side 😮💨😮💨😮💨!
(Alice took a drink of her tea, as she placed it down, taking a deep breath, nodding to everything Princess Candice had to say.)
Alice: I do believe that Bea Valentine has the spirit, she is just entirely lost in the translation of things however! I believe that she does good at making herself accustomed to a princess lifestyle, she surrounds herself with a peculiar cast of characters, she has her own tea parties, it’s just….
Princess Candice: She lacked the guidance of a Fairy GodMother, she’s like a woman who grew up with a wicked stepmother, and it never got any better for her! It’s as if she only knows the instinct of hatred, and that is how she drives and fuels herself. And it rubs off on her little Gloria, because I can sense the soul of Gloria. That championship.. is crying. It’s.. burning in agony, it just wants someone without the touch of healing to save it. I WILL rescue her🥹!!!
(Princess Candice placed her hand over her chest, as if she was giving out this dramatic story about trial and tribulation, added together with the rescue of Gloria. Before another princess chimed in.)
Cinderella: I do know a thing or two about being held back by a wicked stepmother, and the impending monologues, consistently playing back and forth with the emotions of Gloria. I would not recommend Bea Valentine at all, because she has the exact same tendencies!
Princess Candice: This is what I was thinking to myself, Cinderella. Bea Valentine is an evil, wicked–
(Suddenly, a voice would blurt out over Princess Candice, as Penelope from Wreck It Ralph, the controversial princess to say the least, appeared almost out of nowhere.)
Penelope: B%#$!!!!!!
(Gasps were heard, all around the area, as they looked at Penelope. Princess Candice had to step in.)
Princess Candice: Erm, are you a Disney princess? 🤨!?
Penelope: Contrary to popular belief, but my criteria screams Disney princess, I just want to be accepted 🥹
(Penelope gave her puppy eyes, as Princess Candice couldn’t refuse and turned her away. As she just calmly smiled and hugged her.)
Princess Candice: Aw, you said it better than I could had myself 🥹!! She is indeed one of those. Bea Valentine is one of the worst people that I have ever met. EVER. And she is too blind and oblivious to her own cause!
Penelope: Yes, she’s a stupid piece of s#!+ she can burn in hell!
Snow White: How did she say that “hell”????
Cinderella: HOW DID YOU SAY IT?
(A voice chimed in, interrupting the entire princesses.)
Esmerelda: It’s okay, they put the word in a song in my movie 😁!
Princess Candice: Oh! Dear, dear. I thought Bea Valentine had infiltrated us with an evil predecessor, but alas: I am so much excited for King Of Elite. I know that things are going to be interesting, but do we all think we can leave our egos at home just a little bit? 😅 I don’t want any funny business between princess and villains. I truly just want to rescue Gloria, as if I’m climbing up Rapunzel’s hair! But unfortunately Rapunzel couldn’t make it today to our tea party. But it’s a-okay! Because I feel like this is a moment of peace and intrigue. Great things are going to happen. I just know that I can overcome the evil treachery of Bea Valentine. But I hope in that retaliation at the same time, I can awaken her for what matters the most. I hope that I can open her heart!
Snow White; But dear, sorry for interruption, do you believe she has a heart?
Princess Candice: It’s a small heart. It’s buried deep within her cold, dead, aching body. Not even with Mickey’s gloves, could it be touched.
Cinderella: If the shoe fits, and when you hold the Specialists Championship in your hand dear, the shoe is going to fit so perfectly 🥹
Princess Candice: It’s going to be oh so sweet, and then I’ll ride away into the chariot, happily ever after ✨️✨️!! But I just have to prepare myself a little bit more!
(With that being said, Princess Candice would return to her tea party, as the scene would fade out, and fades to a commercial break.)
(As Showdown comes back from commercials, the camera focuses on the entrance before “KARATE” by BABYMETAL starts playing on the speakers and a mixed reaction can be heard from the crowd, as the lights in the ramp turned blue and purple shining all around as the woman known as KASAI, played up towards the cameras and the crowd, shaking her body around with unpredictable movements and the mask around her face shaking wildly, before she stood completely still, slowly took her mask off and her painted face alongside a wicked smile was shown. Throwing the mask away and showing off her outfit for the night, a casual wear with a leather jacket, denim pants and a crop top of her own merch, while she carried around THE QUEENSLAYER on her other hand.)
Gavin Kirkland: …I have the weirdest sensation right now-
Eve and Deadprez: Shut up, Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: :francis:
Eve: Right, focusing on what’s important at the moment, it has been an incredibly wild moment seeing what ended up happening to Kasai after Road to Redemption, despite reaching the final two in the Specialists Chamber she ended up getting her face completely busted and because of that she went through a character shift that none of us expected at all, and it ended up, she failed at trying to fight for the National Elite Championship but it ended up bringing her some glory when she defeated a former Tag Team and Hardcore Champion in Hikari Kanno! And now she has the chance to prove herself when she ends up fighting Miku Sakai at King of Elite as well. But tonight we will hear her thoughts before that match!
(KASAI walked down with confidence in her step and that grin never leaving the face, quickly going through the ramp and and then arriving at ringside, walking up the steel steps and then moving through the ropes before forcing a stagehand to give her a microphone while her music died down and she stood in the middle playing around with THE QUEENSLAYER in her hand before she began talking into the microphone.)
KASAI: Hold on, I need a moment to take in the moment and the atmosphere, this whole things needs a lot of build up for me, ehem… I TOLD YOU SO.
(The crowd breaks into a mixed reaction while KASAI madly laughs in the ring all by herself, slapping her knee thinking it was the funniest thing in the world before speaking up again.)
KASAI: They doubted me from every corner in the world, they said that KASAI didn’t have that dog on her, that she wasn’t the shit, that whatever I have done to this point meant nothing, doubters all around the world telling me that I would never succeed, I get told the same thing by Hikari Kanno last week, I get told that I am a nobody who doesn’t matter, that she didn’t know me at all, now here is the kicker, because she won’t know me as just KASAI… she will know me as the woman who gave her a heart shattering loss. Now she will be the one who has to doubt, now she will be the one who has to be forced to face the brunt of all of those losses piling up on her! Because I stand now triumphant over a woman who have so many people have considered the future and I proved that I should be given at least a lick of attention for that same praise. That is the light The Mad Huntress should be talked about.
KASAI: And now, I am going to do the same thing against her partner-
(KASAI then stopped and put a hand over her mouth, stopping herself and making a fake surprised expression before a grin came back to her and she continued talking.)
KASAI: Oh sorry, I should correct myself… FORMER partner. Because a little birdie just told me that IDOL-GUN is FINISHED and Miku Sakai is all on her own again, I mean, after what Hikari has done this season, I get it all too well! I know how that kind of feeling is! To have a partner that isn’t carrying her weight, to see the person you believe is your friend not even trying to help you at all while they are right by your side, and that kind of thing has made me focus on Miku especially and ask for a match against her, I targeted you because let’s be honest, you are INDEED one of the best around this whole brand, I mean, reaching the finals of both the Empress of Elite and the Iconic Cup, a former Tag Team and Specialist Champion defeating some of the top women in the company, everyone and their mother would like a piece of that action, and why should I be the exception to not taking advantage of that kind of thing? After the victory that I achieved, why SHOULD I stop? I have arrived here with the objective of hunting down the greatest of the business and beating them down until they couldn’t go on anymore. It is my turn now to be called one of the greatest. I am now ready for the climb, starting right at the top and using Miku as a stepping stone to get to thoe heights-
(“Brooklyn The Hole” by Miku Sakai plays on the speakers as the crowd gives a mixed reaction once more as Miku walked out with a focused but very much angry expression on her face as she appeared on the entrance while the first few notes of the song played.)
Deadprez: Well, here comes the woman that KASAI just called out a few seconds ago, she is definitely not in a good mood, well, most of the time she looks like she isn’t in a good mood but despite that, what KASAI said before wasn’t a lie, despite some of the heavy shortcomings Miku had to deal with the past few seasons, she has indeed showed out in every way possible and has proved why she can be one of the best talents in the roster, but will she be able to overcome someone as cutthroat as KASAI-
Gavin Kirkland: Stop talking Deadprez, here comes my favorite part of the song, when she starts singing-
Miku Sakai: CUT MY MUSIC, I AM NOT SINGING THIS TIME!
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry:
(The song quickly cuts off once Miku gives the order and then she stands there in silence staring at the ring before speaking up.)
Miku Sakai: Hey, you clown… SHUT THE FUCK UP!
(Some of the crowd cheers while KASAI reacts in an amused manner, as Miku didn’t waste any time in walking down the ramp, sliding inside of the ring and then looking directly at KASAI with that angry expression on her face before speaking into the microphone once again.)
Miku Sakai: Alright, at least I will give you this, you were honest and talked to your superiors nicely, I have indeed been one of the best talents Showdown, Voltage, the whole entirely of EAW has ever seen. And I am not surprised something like this is happening because everyone sees me as the top dog that I say I am, but damn bitch, stop yapping about something that doesn’t involve you. You don’t know who the hell I or Hikari is to be talking about what happened between us, yeah, it is indeed a shame that the IDOL-GUN reunion didn’t go as planned, in fact, I am pissed things didn’t go as we expected in the first place, we wanted to take over just like we did all those years ago and make all of you fuckers remember who IDOL-GUN is once again, but I knew damn well Hikari was too unfocused and distracted from what we wanted to achieve in the first place, so we both decided on putting IDOL-GUN in the shelf for now, doesn’t mean we stopped being friends or hanging out, but when it comes to wrestling, it is better we go our separate ways for now and we try IDOL-GUN one more time when the both of us are ready for that.
Miku Sakai: So for now, it is once again me and my total bitchiness to assholes who think they can get one over me so that they can breathe some life into their miserable career. So even though I didn’t want this match in the first place against you, I am not a coward and I will face you directly KASAI, Kasai, kasai or whatever your name wants to be the day, at King of Elite I will dispose of you and then after that, before this season is over, I am going to aim for gold, I am going to be wearing a championship once again and you are just going to be under me where you belong.
(KASAI’s expression has turned into one of complete boredom once she heard Miku speak until she said she would be a champion again and then she couldn’t control the loud laughter that came out of her. Miku frowns and more anger is shown in her expression before…)
Eve: MIKU GOES AND PUNCHES KASAI! SHE KICKS THE QUEENSLAYER AWAY BEFORE TACKLING KASAI TO THE GROUND AND THEN LAYING STRIKES ON HER!
Deadprez: IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG BEFORE THESE WOMEN STARTED GOING WILD, KASAI DOESN’T HOLD BACK AS SHE IS ABLE TO TURN MIKU OVER AND SHE STARTS LAYING STRIKES ON HER AS WELL!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SECURITY QUICKLY COME OUT TO ENTER THE RING AND RESTRAIN THE TWO FROM FIGHTING ANY LONGER!
(The security quickly pulls the two women away, Miku angrily shouting obscenities at KASAI while KASAI could only laugh at her face, as they are able to be split apart before Showdown fades away to an ad for King of Elite.)
(Once Showdown comes back from break, it transitions to Gina Romano ready to announce the participants of the next contest.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Ten Ton Hammer’ by Machine Head. plays as Halsey and Pandora emerge from behind the curtain. The crowd boos Halsey as she takes her sweet time walking towards the ring. She keeps her sinister smile the entire way as Pandora is only a few steps behind her.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….BEING ACCOMPANIED BY PANDORA PAISLEY….HAILING FROM BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.…WEIGHING IN AT 159 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE RIPPER”….HAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLSSEEEEYYYY NNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!
(Halsey enters the ring and strikes one final pose. As ‘Ten Ton Hammer’ fades away, it is quickly replaced by ‘MELTDOWN’ by Travis Scott ft Drake. Jade Phoenix enters the arena with a scowl on her face and Damien Kutcher by her side…the song is nearly drowned out by the boos. Jade stares down at the ring and begins to march towards it, never breaking eye contact with Neel. Damien attempts to keep up while still trying to get everything on his recording.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT….BEING ACCOMPANIED BY “MR. HUSTLE AND FLOW” DAMIEN KUTCHER……HAILING FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA…WEIGHING IN AT 160 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE RISING PHOENIX”….JAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDEEEE PHOOOOOOEEEEEEENIX!!
(Jade enters the ring and instantly looks towards her opponent, attempting to get in Halsey’s face. The referee escorts both competitors back to their corners and rings the bell)
(DING DING DING)
Eve: And we’re off! Both women are going in for a Collar-and-elbow tie-up! Both women jockeying for position! Halsey drops to her knees and tosses Jade over with a fireman’s carry… quickly transitioning into a waistlock… Neel is working on grinding Phoenix down early.
Gavin Kirkland: Gotta assert dominance while you can… but Halsey is trying to pull Phoenix back up for a German Suplex… Standing switch from Phoenix, shoving Halsey into the ropes… FOLLOWS UP WITH A FOREARM SMASH!
Deadprez: Phoenix measuring her opponent for something already… Suplex Position… JAD— No.. Halsey drops behind and delivers a German Suplex, dropping Jade! Phoenix to her knees ONLY TO BE MET WITH A NASTY SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! ANOTHER! ONE LAST… AND A FINAL ONE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Eve: Those shoot kicks will knock the air out of you lungs in short order! Jade is crawling to the ropes, trying desperately to gain any form of distance… a thrust kick to the chest of Halsey from Jade… PHOENIX CHARGING FORWARD… RIGHT INTO AN STO FROM NEEL! WHAT A MANEUVER!
GAvin Kirkland: Are we really surprised that Halsey is keeping the ball in her court here? She’s keeping Jade off her game and so far it’s working!
Eve: Halsey shoving Jade into the corner and just beginning to deliver more shoot kicks to the chest… ONE TO THE HE—NO… JADE CATCHES THE LEG ON HER SHOULDER… LIFTING NEEL UP… LIGER BOMB!!!!! THE RUNNING, SIT-OUT POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND DRIVES NEEL DOWN BUT JADE ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN!?
Deadprez: She’s climbing to the top rope with her back facing the opponent… might be looking for the Phoenix Rising… OFF THE TOP! NOBODY HOME! NEEL MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND SENT JADE LANDING RIBS FIRST ON THE CANVAS… HALSEY MEASURING HER OPPONENT… NORTHERN LARIAT TO PHOENIX!
Gavin Kirkland: Devastating move from Neel, knocking her opponent for a loop, but I don’t think she’s done there… pulling Jade back to her feet… Neel off the ropes… going for a lariat… PHOENIX HITS THE POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Going for the cover!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
THHRR—
Eve: Kickout by Halsey! Fantastic maneuver from Jade keeping her opponent on the back-foot!
Deadprez: I feel like Jade’s power is going to be a problem for Halsey Neel here and with both Pandora AND Damien on the outside of the ring, that finishing blow really could come from anywhere… as long as the referee isn’t looking.
Eve: That’s right Prez, but it looks like Jade is very aware that it’s not going to be enough yet to put Halsey Neel away. She might have to pull out the big guns.
Gavin Kirkland: She might be measuring for something big… SPRINGBOARD CUTT— HALSEY CAUGHT HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, DROPPING PHOENIX ONTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD, GRABBING HER ARM NOW… PULLING JADE FROM HER KNEES… NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!!!!!
Deadprez: Neel is ever resourceful and will drop you like a bad habit in any way shape or form. If it involves a suplex, you best believe Halsey Neel will utilize it to hurt you! Phoenix is rolling to the outside, trying desperately to gain any bit of respite from this onslaught. Neel isn’t about to let that happen… following Phoenix out quickly.
Eve: Wait, Kutcher is talking trash to Halsey… and we all know Neel isn’t about to let that one slide… but the jack-jacking might have cost her as Jade sends Neel’s face careening into the ringpost!
Gavin Kirkland: And it doesn’t look like she’s done there… gripping Neel up… and sending her flying with an Exploder Superlex on the floor! That slight distraction from “Mr. Hustle and Flow” might have just kept Jade in this match…
Deadprez: Kept her in the match? It looks like it completely shifted the tide, Gavin. But you’re right about the distraction being the saving grace for Phoenix here.
Eve: Now Phoenix is looking to toss her opponent back into the ring… looking to put this one away early… grabbing a front facelock… Brainbuster? ON THE KNEE!!! JADED CONNECTS!!!! THE KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS WITH NEEL AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE JADE IS DONE… GOING UP TOP… MAYBE LOOKING FOR THAT FLIPPING SENTON…
Gavin Kirkland: Wait, Pandora just jumped onto the apron… Jade is screaming at the referee to get her down, which the ref finally does… JADE OFF THE TOP… AND CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE KNEES OF HALSEY! That slight delay was just enough for Neel to get her wits about her and realize the situation and counter it!
Deadprez: But Neel isn’t done there… she’s scrambling to lock in anything to gain the advantage, wrapping her legs around the upper body of Phoenix… Oh… she locks in the Triangle Armbar, attempting to wrench that arm back and hyperextend the elbow…
Eve: Phoenix, though, might be too close to the ropes for Neel… Jade finds the ropes with her feet… the referee is calling for the break…
Referee (off-mic): C’mon, break the hold… 1……2……3……4……
Eve: And Neel finally breaks the hold as Jade retreats to the apron.
Deadprez: Halsey Neel cutting it awfully close to getting disqualified for not breaking the hold…
Gavin Kirkland: Everyone knows she had until 5, Prez, but it looks like Neel might be looking to bring her opponent back in the ring the hard way… JADE COUNTERS WITH A HOTSHOT TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, DRIVING THE THROAT DOWN… AND FOLLOWING UP WITH A BICYCLE KNEE! PHOENIX IS THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING… OVER THE TOP, WAISTLOCK… GERMAN SUPLEX TO NEEL!!!
Eve: Great wherewithal by Phoenix there… but Halsey is already on her knees looking to get up… JADE OFF THE SECOND ROPE… SHADES OF JADE!!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS, DRIVING NEEL STRAIGHT INTO THE CANVAS! PHOENIX SCRAMBLING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: NOOO!!! NEEL GETS THE LEFT SHOULDER UP AND STAYS IN THIS ONE!
Deadprez: Nasty combo by Phoenix there with that knee and German followed up with one of her bigger weapons the “Shades of Jade” but it wasn’t enough to put Halsey Neel away. But her best bet is to stay on her like cheese on a burger and get this thing done quick!
Gavin Kirkland: You’ve got that right, the longer this match goes, the more likely it is to favor the more experienced Neel! But Jade doesn’t seem to be thinking about this one going much longer… she’s measuring her opponent in the corner… could be looking for that Helluva Kick… BURNING PHOENIX INCOMING… NO!
Eve: Halsey Neel out of the way and delivers a nasty Roundhouse to the back of the head… Jade’s leg is still caught on the top rope… WHAT THE HELL!?
Deadprez: Halsey Neel just hit a Hotshot like maneuver… on the leg of Jade Phoenix! That’ll tear your knee up in a hurry!
Gavin Kirkland: Brilliant move by “The Ripper.” Targeting any body part she can get her hands on and making sure it hurts in the process. I believe that’s three separate extremities that Halsey has targeted so far in this match… well, if you count the head as an extremity.
Eve: Neel back into the ring, School Boy… letting Jade roll through to her knees… PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST OF JADE!
Gavin Kirkland: Y’know, I sometimes think that kick should be called an Implant Buster in women’s matches…
Deadprez: And we’re moving on!!! Neel is looking to lock in a Single-Leg Boston Crab but it looks like Phoenix is fighting it with all of her might… refusing to let her body be turned… JESUS! Neel just said “to hell with this” and delivered a nasty elbow to the face of Jade as she was dropping down into full guard…
Eve: That’s a knockout blow in most combat sports but it looks like Jade Phoenix is still attempting to guard…
Gavin Kirkland: Neel delivering nasty palm strikes and punches, trying to break the guard of Jade, here.
Deadprez: Wait, Phoenix is trying to transition into her own triangle choke but Neel isn’t about to let that happen, wrenching on the ankle and knee with that top-wrist version of an ankle lock…
Eve: Phoenix rotates to her stomach, trying to get away… but Neel transitions into a kneebar… perhaps looking to figure-four that leg… and she does! The Inverted Figure-Four Kneebar is locked in and Phoenix is in trouble…
Deadprez: A move like that will hyperextend the ligaments in the knee, tear ACLs, and make sure you’re limping for a long while afterwards, if Jade wants to survive this match, she’s going to need to break that hold, and quick.
Gavin Kirkland: Both women positioned in the center of the ring… I don’t think Phoenix can get out of this one… wait, Damien Kutcher is on the apron again… the referee is admonishing him to get down…
Eve: AND JADE IS TAPPING!!! JADE PHOENIX HAS TAPPED TO THE INVERTED FIGURE-FOUR BUT THE REFEREE HASN’T SEEN IT!!! Neel is livid… breaking the hold and delivers a nasty forearm to the face of Kutcher, knocking him off the apron to the floor below!
Deadprez: Now looking to regain her composure and turn her attention back to her opponent… ONLY TO BE CAUGHT WITH A SUPERKICK FROM PHOENIX!!! FOLLOWED UP WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Phoenix has taken advantage of the referee’s attention being on her tag team partner and has turned the tables on a match that should be over.
Gavin Kirkland: Should, would, could, it doesn’t matter because the referee didn’t see it, the match rolls on and there’s nothing we can do to change it! Phoenix is looking to put this one away, but she’s not moving too quickly due to the damage to the knee she’s experienced so far…
Eve: Jade is pulling her opponent up… elbow to the face of Neel… and another… and another… ROLLING ELBOW! Knocking Neel for a loop… Pheonix isn’t done… she’s pulling Neel back up for some more strikes…
Deadprez: Elbow… hook but Neel ducks… Phoenix throwing her left fist into the air… JAB FROMM THE RIGHT! THE BOP N JADE CONNECTS!!! ROLL-UP!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
Eve: Kickout from Halsey! That little combo caught “The Ripper” off-guard but it didn’t finish this one yet. Phoenix is pulling out everything to put this one away. Phoenix is measuring her opponent… SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE TO THE HEAD! Now grabbing a dazed Neel… URANAGE BACKBREAKER!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But Phoenix forgot about that knee for a moment, she just dropped Halsey directly on that hurt leg!
Deadprez: Adrenaline is a hell-of-a drug, it makes you forget your pain but Jade just found out that adrenaline can only take you so far when someone is trying to take a limb home with them like Neel has been attempting to do all match.
Eve: That pain was too much for Jade to bare and she can’t seem to capitalize right away… both women are working on getting to their feet… Phoenix charges, going for a Bicycle Knee… Halsey out of the way… into the ropes goes Phoenix… SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! GRABBING A FRONT FACELOCK… SNAP SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey isn’t releasing the head… turning over… another snap suplex… and again! Three snap suplexes from Halsey Neel, driving the air out of Jade… but she’s not done… pulling her pack up… Suple— NO! HALSEY DROPPED HER DOWN INTO AN ARMBAR!!!
Eve: Going after every limb she can get a hold of! Jade is doing the smart thing, attempting to keep that hand in an S-grip. Avoiding Neel hyperextending that arm…
Deadprez: Jade needs to get her legs under her and change the leverage… I think… yes, she’d got her feet under her… looking to pull Neel off the canvas…
Gavin Kirkland: Neel transitioning into a Triangle… wait… Jade is pulling her up… RAMPAGE JACKSON SPECIAL!!!! THE DEADLIFT POWERBOMB… STACKING HALSEY UP… COVER!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHRRREE—
Gavin Kirkland: Kickout by Halsey Neel! I never thought I’d see a Rampage Jackson Special here in EAW but there’s a first time for everything.
Deadprez: A fantastic counter by Phoenix but she seems out of it… almost gasping for air. This young woman is only a few months into her career, she’s not used to pulling out huge moves like that in rapid succession. Halsey Neel may be only about 2 years into her career but that is still far more than the nearly 4 months under Jade’s belt.
Eve: Jade is looking to gain her composure here… looking for any possible way to pull this match out!
Damien Kutcher (Off-mic): Get after it!!! She’s hurt!!!
Deadprez: We heard the thought process of “Mr. Hustle and Flow” there but I’m not sure what Jade is looking for here… pulling Halsey back up to her feet… powerbomb position… SPINNING POWERBO— NO!!! NEEL DROPS DOWN! PUMP KICK TO THE FACE!!!! UP TO THE SHOULDERS… BLOOOD ON THE LEAVES!!! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY ROUNDHOUSE CONNECTS!!! But Phoenix fell back out of the ring!
Eve: Inadvertent or not, Jade Phoenix might have just saved this match for herself… Neel looks pissed!
Gavin Kirkland: Wouldn’t you be if you just hit your opponent with one of your top moves and they just collapsed out of the ring? Halsey Neel needs to stay focused and finish this match as soon as possible!
Eve: Neel following her opponent out, and trying to pick her back up… PHOENIX JUST PULLED NEEL INTO THE RINGPOST AGAIN! Phoenix might have just saved the match for herself… Phoenix looking to put this one away. Tossing Halsey back into the ring and following her in…
Deadprez: Halsey trying to get to get her feet… Phoenix off the ropes… SHADES OF JADE!!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS AGAIN!!!! NEEL STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CORNER… BURNING PHOENIX INCOMING… NO!!!! NEEL MET HER IN THE MIDDLE WITH A BICYCLE KNEE… NOW NEEL OFF THE ROPES… YAKUZA!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NEEL CONNECTS WITH THE OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! THAT COMBO HAS PUT AWAY PLENTY OF WRESTLERS IN THE PAST…
Eve: But Neel isn’t done… she’s signalling for something… Piledriver position… maybe looking for The Fall… but Jade picks the leg, dropping Neel to the canvas… Jacknife cover!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!
TH–
Eve: Kickout from Neel… but Phoenix isn’t done yet… Left up… RIGHT TO THE MOUTH! BOP N JADE CONNECTS AGAIN… O’CONNOR ROLL!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWOOO!!!!
THHHRREEEE—
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA WITH THE WTH! That right hand connects to the jaw of Jade! Phoenix is rocked!!!!
Deadprez: Neel measuring Phoenix… QUESTION MARK KICK… DDT!!!!!!!!!! DEVOLVER CONNECTS!!!!!! COVER!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!!)
Eve: Halsey Neel just stole one from Jade Phoenix thanks to the help from Pandora Paisley! Jade Phoenix was robbed!
Gavin Kirkland: Robbed!? Let’s not forget that she ALREADY tapped out minutes ago! This match was going to go Halsey’s way no matter what!
Deadprez: Whether that’s true or not, Halsey Neel picks up the victory here tonight.
(Pandora and Halsey celebrate the win with Pandora showing her right hand with a big grin on her face. As they celebrate, Jade is helped to the back by Damien Kutcher.)
(The shot fades out to a different part of the arena)
(We cut to the back, and we see Madison Kaline walking the corridors, looking for something. She stops, grabbing one of the crew who immediately looks fearful.)
Madison Kaline: Caroline’s dressing room, where is it?
Crew Member: Err, I don’t know.
Madison Kaline: You do work here right?
Crew Member: Yeah, but I clean floors. I don’t know where people get dressed.
Madison Kaline: Useless
(As she approaches every door, she looks at the nameplate and then shakes her head, continuing her search. Finally, she stops, and the camera focuses on the door itself, the camera revealing the name ‘Caroline’ on it.)
Madison Kaline: Finally, I can put an end to this.
(Madison doesn’t even knock, and just steps inside, looking around and not able to see anyone. Even so, she doesn’t look scared, or worried about what is going on.)
Madison Kaline: OK, I’m here. Now come out and stop playing games, I’m done with this. Show yourself Caroline and stop with the parlor tricks.
(Raven Roberts then appears, and Madison looks more than a little surprised. Her first impression is to be defensive, after their altercation last week. Raven seems to enjoy Madison’s reaction, and steps forward just a little.)
Madison Kaline: Raven, what are you doing here? I have business to attend to that is none of your concern
(Now it is Raven’s turn to look more than a little surprised.)
Raven Roberts: Don’t act all stupid Madison, you know exactly why I am here.
Madison Kaline: I’m not being stupid, and I dare you to say that again. Answer me, what are you doing here?
Raven Roberts: I’m here because you text me and told me to meet you here.
(At first Madison looks at her, trying to ascertain if she is telling the truth. Then once again a puzzled look forms on her face.)
Madison Kaline: I didn’t text you Raven, why would I do that? We are not friends.
Raven Roberts: I thought the same thing, but I came because I was intrigued. But I most definitely got a text… and it was from you.
Madison Kaline: You’re lying, you’re trying to get in my head. I won’t fall for your games Raven, I am not that naïve.
(Raven gets in Madison’s face, obviously not liking being called a liar, especially after last week. Madison to her credit doesn’t back down though and stands her ground.)
Raven Roberts: You’re brave. Calling me a liar after that attack last week and taking me down. It was a gutsy move; I’ll give you that.
Madison Kaline: You got that right, I am brave, more than you know. But you know, this is Elite Answers Wrestling, and all is fair in love and war babe. It’s the way things are around her right?
(Raven nods her head, understanding that logic at least.)
Raven Roberts: Touche
(Both then look at the floor, as smoke starts to plume from the vents, and quickly covers the lower parts of their bodies. Neither are sure what is going on, until a voice is heard through the smoke.)
Caroline: This is all too easy
(Out of nowhere, Madison is blasted in the head, Madison turning around and seeing only Raven, so immediately assumes it was her who attacked. Madison leaps at her, and gets in some good shots, but Raven begins to take control, shot after shot hitting Madison in the jaw. Finally, Raven grabs her around the head, and then falls backwards, sending her crashing through a table with a wicked DDT. With Madison left amongst the wreckage, Raven gets to her feet.)
Raven Roberts: You were right Madison. All IS fair in love and war… BABE.
(Raven then leaves the room shaking her head, Madison barely conscious on the floor. She opens her eyes slightly, and see’s Caroline looking down on her, a smile forming on Carolines face. Caroline then lifts her foot, and brings it down on Madison’s face, knocking her clean unconscious. Caroline then starts to laugh, walking away from the carnage.)
Caroline: Like I said… too easy.
(Scene fades back to ringside for the next match.)
(“Birds With Broken Wings” – Ben Caplan plays as Solomon walks out onto the stage to a chorus of boos before he goes down to a knee to pray before making his way down the ring with a dead serious look on his face ready for battle.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM THE CITY OF SIN….WEIGHING IN AT 266 POUNDS….HE IS “YOUR SAVIOR”….SOOOLLLOOOOMOOOONNN STTTAAAANNNNE!!!!!
(‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa plays and the crowd once again rains down boos. She steps out onto the stage pumped up ready to make a statement. Standing beside her is her bestie and National Elite Champion Veena Adams who walks beside her with the title on her shoulder.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….ACCOMPANIED BY THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION VEENA ADAMS….FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS….SHE IS “THE BOUJEE PRINCESS”….ASSHHLLYYNNN QUIIIINNN!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Deadprez: Ashlynn is looking to start things out here by circling Solomon, when you’re facing off against an opponent of that sheer size and strength, you can’t just dive in. Solomon turns his back for a second worrying about Veena at ringside….and Ashlynn takes what he can get with this window and she runs up and hits Solomon in the upper back with a nasty dropkick! It only sends the big man stumbling a few steps forward! She looks for another and this time Stane avoids it as he waits until Ashlynn has managed to get back to her feet before getting her with a dropkick of his own! It takes Ashlynn right off her feet and into the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena looks on from ringside just observing as Ashlynn scrambles back up in the corner, Solomon is on her like a bat out of hell here as he picks her up and stands her up in a vertical base….. and throws her across the ring with the biel throw! He threw her across the ring like a child! Again, Ashlynn tries to get back to her feet, but Stane descends on her in an instant going right back on the attack as he looks for a rolling elbow but Ashlynn ducks under it…and superkicks Stane in the back of the knee! It’s enough to drop him down to a knee and Ashlynn lines up her shot, she goes to the ropes AND KNOCKS DOWN STANE WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE! It gets Stane right in the side of the head, hopefully knocking the voices out of him! It takes Ashlynn a second to realize just how wide her opening is this early in the match while she was catching her breath for a moment…AND SHE JUMPS UP AND LOOKS TO GO FOR HER “PINK STAR DIAMOND” CODEBREAKER IN THE EARLY GOINGS HERE –
Eve: But it is denied by Stane as he holds her up high using his weight advantage and shoves Ashlynn away as she landed quite hard on the back of her head! Ashlynn of course looks to keep up the offense this time rolling back up to her feet in an instant….and she is trying for a superkick BUT STANE CATCHES THE LEG! Ashlynn immediately tags him with an enziguri kick to the side of the head preventing any capitalization from her opponent! She gets right behind Stane and tries to hoist him up for a dragon suplex…but Stane doesn’t plan on taking flight anytime soon as he elbows Ashlynn in the face to get free! Not sure if that was the smartest decision from Ashlynn right there…AND THEN SOLOMON DELIVERS A HEADBUTT RIGHT TO HER JAW! Ashlynn is absolutely stunned as Stane picks her up and sends her back down with a Thrust Spinebuster! Ashlynn writhes on the ground with pain from that one as Solomon grabs Ashlynn by her hair and then drags her to her feet! BIG BOOT RIGHT TO THE CHEST! That big boot sends Ashlynn right out to ringside floor as she goes flying through the second rope!
Deadprez: Ashlynn should stay out there after that! At the very least she needs to distance himself from Solomon and rethink her plan. Veena walks up next to Ashlynn trying to give her a bit of advice whispering in her ear but it doesn’t seem that chance is coming anytime soon as Solomon follows his prey out to ringside quickly giving Veena a firm warning her to back off. He picks up his opponent and gets her in position for a powerslam….BUT ASHLYNN MANAGES TO SLIP OUT FROM BEHIND! She quickly dashes back inside the ring with Solomon in hot pursuit right after her….THE MINUTE SOLOMON GETS ON THE APRON HE’S MET WITH A V-TRIGGER! That was some clever thinking right there…but that wasn’t the only thought in her head as she rushes over the corner ascending her way up to the top turnbuckle AND LAUNCHES HERSELF TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A TRIANGLE CROSS-BODY! That is pure athleticism on display right there as she goes for the first cover of the match!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: Solomon stays in the game with a kick out! Ashlynn keeps a level-head as she figures out her next move while Veena is telling her to keep on the attack and not give Solomon any room to breathe. She looks over to the corner and makes the climb up onto the top rope…AND SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF GOING FOR THE MOONSAULT…BUT NOBODY HOME AS SOLOMON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! The moonsault doesn’t find the target as Solomon moves out of the way at the last second and that might end up coming back to bite Ashlynn! That impact with the mat stuns Ashlynn and gives Solomon the chance to turn the tide as he gets back to his feet and bell claps his opponent before measuring her up from behind…
Eve: NOW THE GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT ASHLYNN THOUGH LANDS ON HER FEET! ASHLYNN LOOKS FOR A SPIN KICK BUT SOLOMON DUCKS UNDER IT AND HE GRABS HER AND ROLLS HIM UP WITH A SCHOOLBOY! Instead of a pin, Solomon lifts Ashlynn onto his shoulders and DROPS HER WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Stane then reaches down and picks up his opponent by the throat helping her find her feet! Solomon then pulls her in for the headbutt but Ashlynn sidesteps it moving her head over before she counters with the armdrag!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon looks to break the stalemate with a running big boot, but Ashlynn ducks under the massive leg and she kicks him in the back of the leg once more dropping Stane to one knee and she looks to follow it up with a roundhouse kick…BUT SOLOMON GRABS THE LEG AND LOOKS FOR ANKLE LOCK! SOLOMON HAS THE ANKLE LOCK LOCKED IN DEEP DOWN TWISTING AS HARD AS HE CAN ON HER ANKLE…BUT ASHLYNN COUNTERS ROLLING THROUGH SENDING SOLOMON INTO THE CORNER FACE FIRST! A SHOTGUN DROPKICK MAKES SURE HE STAYS THERE! Shee then looks to make the ascent once again to that top rope, but Solomon is right there behind her! He brings an elbow into the lower back of Ashlynn before he uses his power advantage once more then pulls her off the top AND HITS THE SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB! Stane doesn’t stop there as he then takes his own place on the top rope, watching and waiting for Ashlynn to get into position as he looks over at Veena at ringside and then…. MISERY’S END! That huge elbow drop connects with the back of Ashlynn’s head! Solomon Stane goes for a cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Ashlynn isn’t done yet as she kicks out at two and Solomon does not seem to like that one bit as Solomon takes a second to talk things out with himself before he nods to himself after a back and forth, deciding on a path forward! LEAPING HEADBUTT! He went skull to skull with Ashlynn once again! He then picks up his opponent and hits her with a discus punch! He nearly decapitates Ashlynn with that one before he drags Burke back to her feet….AND THIS TIME HITS HER WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX! Solomon is simply punishing Ashlynn here clearly trying to send some sort of sick message! He now just strolls over to his opponent and starts stomping on her and he just keeps going and going until Ashlynn is able to get to the ropes! The ref pushes Stane away, warning him to back off before he’s disqualified! This upsets the self-proclaimed Savior and he just stares daggers into the official before putting his hands up in innocence.
Deadprez: Solomon Stane just pushes his way past the ref AND RIGHT INTO A KICK BY ASHLYNN! Ashlynn just caught Stane by complete surprise AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! WAIT! Stane catches her before her face is introduced to the mat! He lifts up Ashlynn for another powerslam…BUT IT’S REVERSED INTO A DDT! Ashlynn manages to get herself back into a favorable position with that counter! She lets Stane get back to a vertical basis before unleashing a string of kicks and knees, she’s beating the big man like a drum! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER! Just like that, Stane is laid on the ground, probably not knowing where he is! He stumbles back up to his feet as Ashlynn runs off the ropes – AND SHE NEARLY SLICES SOLOMON IN HALF WITH “THE BESTIE SPEAR!!!” THE SPEAR ON SOLOMON AS VEENA LOOKS ON NODDING WHILE ASHLYNN MAKES THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: NOT YET! STANE KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE AND THE MATCH CONTINUES ON! And now it’s Ashlynn not wanting to take any chances as sje delivers an elbow drop right to the heart of Solomon! Then she picks up Solomon and throws him over to the corner and follows up with an uppercut! She follows up with a vertical suplex! It takes serious determination and strength to get someone like Solomon up for a move like that but Ashlynn isn’t done though as she doesn’t let go of Solomon, bringing him back to his feet for a third suplex! STANE HITS ONE OF HIS OWN! THIS TIME STANE KEEPS THE CHAIN GOING! HE HITS A SECOND ONE! HE LOOKS FOR THE THIRD…BUT IT’S ODIN’S EYE! He drops Ashlynn face first onto his knee and covers her again!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: OH MAN THAT WAS CLOSE BUT ASHLYNN KICKS JUST IN TIME! Solomon picks her up but she shoves him sway creating separation as she dalls back into the ropes, but Solomon runs clotheslines her over the top rope to the outside! He steps out again keeping an eye on Veena.
Veena Adams: (pointing at the tron) It’s not me you gotta worry about.
(The camera switches outside the arena where we see Dr. Bethany Blue trying to get inside the arena and she’s not happy.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: If you will excuse me, I have some business to take care of.
Security Guard: We have been instructed not to let you in the building tonight.
(Bethany is clearly furious about this like she’s about to get in no matter what, before her husband Adam Lucas pops into frame.)
Adam Lucas: I know you’re upset, but King Of Elite is next weekend and you can take out all your frustrations on Solomon then! You’re strong enough to hold your temper, we don’t want another situation of what happened with Trixie, you’re better than that kind of stuff.
(Adam’s words are getting to her a bit as he instructs her to take a few deep breaths, but that doesn’t end up working as Bethany then storms off angry as he tries chasing after her speed walking out of camera shot still trying to calm her down.)
(The camera transitions back to ringside as Solomon just smirks and shakes his head while looking at the tron.)
Eve: What could be going through Solomon’s head after that?
Gavin Kirkland: Certainly not fear that’s for sure. :notbad:
Deadprez: Solomon turns his attention back to Ashlynn now….AS HE LIFTS HER UP FOR THE POWERBOMB AND HE IS AIMING FOR THE STEEL STEPS…BUT ASHLYNN COUNTERS WITH A HURRICANRANA AS STANE GOES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE METAL! Ashlynn now looks to take advantage of a vulnerable Solomon here as she slowly gets back to her feet using the apron as a crutch. She goes to move Solomon, but that deadweight is too much for her to get back in but she finally is able to get Stane back inside before she then stalks her opponent…waits for Solomon to get back on his feet BEFORE GOING FOR “RED BOTTOMS” PUTTING HER FOOT UP TO HIS FACE –
Gavin Kirkwood: Solomon collapses down and rolls out of the ring in order to save himself! Perfect time right there it seems or just fortunate luck of where he was in the ring, but Ashlynn goes to the outside to try to get Stane back inside! As she gets Solomon Stane back to his feet…SOLOMON THROWS HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS! It would appear that Stane was playing a bit of possum there before he then brings her over to the apron and smashes his head right off of it! He takes the fight back inside the ring and looks for a new way to inflict punishment! He hoists Ashlynn up onto top rope before hitting her with a huge right hand! He climbs up there as well…clearly having something big on his mind! HE STRIKES HER WITH A HEADBUTT! AND NOW HE LIFTS ASHLYNN UP FOR THE FALLAWAY SLAM – BUT ASHLYNN JUST RAKED THE EYES, AND NOW ASHLYNN LEAPS OVER AND DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE!! SHE DOESN’T STOP THERE AS SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HITS “NOSTYLIST!!!!” THE RUNNING KNEE AND GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO AS SHE HAS THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: SOLOMON KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!!!! Both competitors scramble back to their feet now and the two go back to circling each other…AND SOLOMON MAKES THE FIRST MOVE AS HE LOOKS FOR THE WHEEL KICK BUT ASHLYNN STEPS TO THE SIDE! Ashlynn gets him with a soccer kick to the back! SHE LOOKS FOR HER RUNNING KNEE STRIKE ONCE MORE BUT SOLOMON LEANS BACK TO DUCK IT! Solomon gets back to his feet and turns around to face his opponent…BUT ASHLYNN IS OFF THE ROPES WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! SOLOMON TRIES TO CATCH HER BY THE LEGS …BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS ASHLYNN TAKES HIM DOWN BEFORE SHE JUMPS ON HIS BACK ANDHAMMERS DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH ELBOWS! She picks him up trying to get him in position, BUT SOLOMON PUSHES HER BACK BEFORE ALMOST TURNING HER INSIDE OUT WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE!!
Gavin Kirkland: He lifts his opponent back up…HE’S LOOKING FOR SANITY’S SAKE! Ashlynn though is continuing to fight back trying to get out of this as she wraps her legs around the ropes, preventing Solomon Stane from driving him into the mat! Ashlynn is able to escape near defeat, but that doesn’t stop Solomon from continuing his assault! HE LOOKS FOR THE SPINNING BACK FIST BUT ASHLYNN KICKS HIS HAND AWAY! SHE LOOKS FOR THE WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER…BUT STANE PUSHES HER AWAY! Ashlynn lands right on her behind and SOLOMON GETS HER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! He leans down to Ashlynn to keep up the attacks, but Ashlynn kicks him right in the side of the head …MOMENTUM JUST SWINGING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM AS….ASHLYNN PULLS HIM IN FOR AN INSIDE CRADLE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: SOKOMON JUST BARELY ESCAPES OUT OF IT!! Again Ashlynn doesn’t waste any time as she is the first up to her feet picking Solomon up by the head, but before we could know what she had in mind Solomon is trying to fight back with body shots and several shots to the rib cage of Ashlynn before shoving Ashlynn back to create a bit of separation…AND ASHLYNN GOES FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK, BUT SOLOMON CATCHES THE FOOT!! Ashlynn is pretty much begging for mercy at this point…
Deadprez: SOLOMON ISN’T BUYING THE LITTLE ACT FROM HER AS HE FLIPS ASHLYNN BACKWARDS, BUT ASHLYNN SOMEHOW LANDED ON HER FEET….AND SOLOMON IT SEEMS WAS EXPECTING THAT AS SHE PULLS HER IN FOR A STIFF FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE BEFORE GETTING HER IN PLACE GRABBING HER BY THE THROAT – “TRIUMPH OF TRUTH!!!” THE ONE HANDED SITOUT CHOKESLAM – BUT ASHLYNN SOMEHOW REVERSED IT IN MID AIR INTO AN ARM DRAG AS THEY BOTH RACE TO THEIR FEET AND RUN AT ONE ANOTHER…AND SOLOMON CATCHES HER WITH A HEADBUTT OUT OF NOWHERE!! Ashlynn drops down to a knee as Solomon gets her in position for “Triumph Of Truth” again – AND IT CONNECTS THIS TIME AS SOLOMON GOES FOR THE COVER!! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT ASHLYNN AWAY?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: NO IT’S NOT!! ASHLYNN KICKS OUT JUST WITH HALF A SECOND TO SPARE! Solomin now is showing signs of frustration as he slaps the mat. But only for a second as he is up and begging for Ashlynn to get back up to her feet looking to put her away for good. She’s back up and then here’s a kick to the midsection from Solomon as he picks her up and he looks to go for “Sanity’s Sake” –
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ASHLYNN OUT OF PURE DESPERATION TO GET OUT OF THIS BEFORE SHE DRIVES HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER AND HITS SEVERAL SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GETTING HER FOOT UP TO SOLOMON’S ’S THROAT AND BEGINS CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM AS THE REFEREE TRIES TO BREAK IT UP!! The referee manages to back Ashlynn up but only for about a second as she runs at Solomon in the corner….BUT NOBODY HOME AS SOLOMON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Solomon now is the one who runs at Ashlynn in the corner and delivers a running uppercut!! Solomon sits her up on the top rope again and once more they go up top, and Ashlynn is fighting back as it’s a battle for control on the top….AND ASHLYNN DELIVERS A THUMB TO THE EYE THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE! AND SHE JUMPS UP AND DELIVERS A HURRICANRANA SENDING SOLOMON FLYING OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: She doesn’t stop there as….WAIT! She just picked up Veena’s National Elite Championship on the apron and she is looking to use it in some kind of way…..BUT VEENA JUST SNATCHED IT BACK THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE!!
(Ashlynn has a look of shock on her face, almost not believing that Veena would do that.)
Deadorez: LOOK BEHIND YOU! ASHLYNN TURNS AROUND AND WALKS RIGHT INTO SOLOMON’S “THE WORD”!!!! THE HEEL HOOK LAYS OUT ASHLYNN AS SOLOMON DROPS DOWN ON TOP AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE VICTORY!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Birds With Broken Wings” – Ben Caplan plays as the crowd showers Solomon in boos as he rolls out of the ring and raises his hand up in the air backpedaling his way up the ramp.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….SOOLLOOMMOOOONNNNE STTTAAAAANNNNNE!!!!!
Eve: Ashlynn tried to take a shortcut and it surprisingly backfired and Solomon took advantage of it as he picked up some huge momentum heading into his personal clash with Bethany at King Of Elite!
(Solomon’s theme dies down as Veena enters the ring, she bends over to check on Ashlynn before…..)
Deadprez: OH MY GOD!!! ASHLYNN JUST HIT VEENA RIGHT IN THE FACE, AND THEN SHE FOLLOWS IT UP BY PICKING UP THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP….AND RAMS IT RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF VEENA!!! VEENA IS OUT COLD!
(Ashlynn almost immediately shows regret on her face not believing she just did what she did as she drops down to both knees still holding the title trying to apologize.)
Ashlynn Quinn: (no mic) MOTHER I’M SO SORRY, I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER M –
(Ashlynn looks at the National Elite Championship in her hands, and she is mesmerized by it, almost in a trance.)
(Ashlynn then shakes her head quickly, snapping out of it before placing the championship across Veena gently still with lots of regret on her face.)
Ashlynn Quinn: I’m so sorry mother, please forgive me for what I just did!
(Ashlynn is begging for forgiveness while Veena lats unconscious before Ashlynn finally takes her leave and rolls out of the ring and makes her way up the entrance way as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(Showdown came back from commercials as it slowly faded into backstage and towards a particular room, and on it was Kyra Phillips waiting for her cue to start talking, with a TV screen right next to her with the Showdown logo on it. They finally give her the signal as she clears her throat and then she starts talking towards the camera.)
Kyra Phillips: Hello to everyone watching Showdown, I am Kyra Phillips bringing you a special segment! As you all know, King of Elite will be next week as various championships will be put in the line and hard hitting matches will take place between incredible Elitists but obviously the main attraction has been the King of Elite tournament, on this year we have seen a lot of young up and comers trying to fight and achieve the title and crown for themselves, but after various weeks we have finally encountered all of the finalists for our match! Dynasty’s Joso, Voltage’s Alex Myers and Showdown’s PJ Hendrix! And at this moment I am going to take a few minutes of your time to talk about all of the competitors in these finals!
(Kyra turned towards the television next to her and it quickly showed at first a few highlights of Joso while his accomplishments flashed across the screen.)
Kyra Phillips: First we have the finalist of Dynasty, Joso! A former Interwire Champion who has showed out every single time he has had the opportunity to be in that ring, the man who proclaims to never miss has shot through all of the expectations set upon him when he first arrived, on this season showing up and showing out against veterans and great Elitists, and now he has the opportunity to get to even greater heights to become the King of Elite and have the chance of becoming a world champion as well.
(The television quickly changed this time and it focused on Alex Myers this time, as their daredevil tactics were shown on screen while their accomplishments flashed across the screen as well.)
Kyra Phillips: We also have the finalist from Voltage, Alex Myers! A former New Breed Champion and someone the people consider as a Guardian Angel to everyone around. They have had an up and down season trying to push through at achieving the EAW Championship and the Hardcore Championship, as well as making a team with Ruler. But it seems things are looking up for them as they have pushed through all of those setbacks and they have reached the King of Elite finals, will they be the ones instead to crown themselves as King of Elite? We will have to wait and find out!
(Finally, the screen changed for one last time and it showed PJ Hendrix, showing his resilient moments on screen and his accomplishments flashing across the screen.)
Kyra Phillips: But for everyone on Showdown, I think it is pretty clear who are we are cheering for to go the distance and be able to win the King of Elite match! Who else but the man known as the Phantom, PJ Hendrx! He has in every way prospered on his Season 17, even though at the start it was very rocky, having to be injured at the hands of Devolution and then when coming back to try and get at Jon Kelton, he ended up failing in that match and not being able to achieve the National Elite Championship. But despite that setback, he didn’t give up and at The Last Stand he defeated Daryl Kinkade to be able to qualify for the Showdown Extreme Elimination Chamber, shattering expectations and being the final two with the Answers World Champion, Adam Lucas! But Adam ended up prevailing and he retained the championship against him. And just when you think PJ is out, he rebounds back! He was able to overcome a Hall of Famer in Scott Diamond, he beat Solomon Stane in the quarterfinals and in the semifinals, he redeemed himself and he was able to beat Jon Kelton to advance! An incredible competitor no matter which way you cut it and that has been shown on his craft, as well as being a former Interwire Champion himself, there is no doubt he has a great chance at being crowned the King of Elite.
Kyra Phillips: I do have a surprise with you all though, because I am not alone right now. I am actually accompanied by that same Showdown finalist! Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for PJ Hendrx!
(The camera pans over towards the side and PJ walked in front of the camera as the crowd watching the titantron cheered incredibly loudly for PJ, he quickly shook hands with Kyra Phillips before he stood there with a confident look on his face and a bit of a bright smile as Kyra began talking to him.)
Kyra Phillips: Nice to see you, PJ! How are you doing?
PJ Hendrx: Man, doing incredible to be honest. It is a bit surreal that I was able to achieve a spot in this match but I pulled through at the end when it mattered and now I am one step closer to becoming the King of Elite and then becoming a world champion.
Kyra Phillips: Glad to hear those words from you PJ, but everyone wants to hear right now a few words from you about what you expect from this match and your mentality going into it.
(PJ stood there in silence for a moment trying to find the words that he needed for the message he wanted to give to the people. He finally found them and then began speaking towards the camera with an incredibly focused look on his face.)
PJ Hendrx: This is the chance that I need. It can’t be anybody else’s but mine.
PJ Hendrx: I know a dozen people who have went through this exact same scenario has said those exact same words but right now, when I say them, after everything that I had to get to this spot in the first place, they bear the weight of the whole world on it, those words being presented right in front of this camera, they are considered the truth by my hand. The journey that I have went to get to this point has been one of the most turbulent in my whole career, one of the most harsh against my mental and physical health, but there is a clear reason why I am still here despite all of the obstacles thrown my way, there is an undeniable reason why I am the man who out of all of the competitors of Showdown who appeared in this tournament was the one who got this opportunity in the first place. You want to tell me to my face that I am the one who can’t prosper? That I am not the one who deserves to be on the top? Get in front of my face and tell it straight to my face! I was in the same situation one year ago, coming off the Extreme Elimination Chamber defeated with my head down and hoping for a shooting star to pass through the sky and grant me the wish to turn things around, and get me out of the slump that my career I was in, I thought that star was the King of Elite, I thought that is what I needed to turn everything around, the result ended up being? Bronson Daniels getting a win over me and going to the finals instead.
PJ Hendrx: I would have never expected something as devastating as that to cut me down so suddenly, so soon, but you know what happened after that? I thought my luck ran out, I thought that maybe, I wasn’t the guy I said I was supposed to be… months later, I became the Interwire Champion.
PJ Hendrx: Let me give you a remix of the same song, starting off the new Season, I wanted to help fight off Devolution, I end up getting injured from them, and all of that I have on my head is revenge from what Jon Kelton ended up doing to me and the line he ended up crossing by doing that kind of thing to me just to keep his championship safe, but I made him realize that I was the one who drew the line in the first place when I put his ex-girlfriend in a stretcher, and despite doing all of that, just when it mattered the most, I ended up choking and failing at getting that revenge and defeating Jon Kelton, it seemed it was done for a second time, it seemed that I messed everything up despite all of the good I did for my career earlier… and just when you think it is done, I rebound, the buzzer beater appears, the last point to bring you the win! I qualified for the Extreme Elimination Chamber YET AGAIN, I surpassed from last year and got to final two with Adam Lucas, I lost, they think they can pray on my downfall but blink and you miss it, I am now on the King of Elite finals because even though I get brought down, even though losses and failures pile up, I keep coming back 10 times better every single time! I have reached the level I have told myself I would reach after all this time and now, I am going to piece everything together and crown myself the king, once and for all, I am proud to compete with Joso and Alex Myers, and I have no doubt we will possibly an incredible match worthy of being the finals but I will show them, that I am that angel that soars in the sky, that I am the HIM they talk about, the Phantom, PJ Hendrx. Peace out.
(And as PJ gives those last words and ends up leaving, the scene fades away from there and Showdown goes to commercials.)
(‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low begins to play through the speakers as Raven Roberts comes out, hyping up the crowd as she makes her way down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA…SHE IS ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’…RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: At King of Elite, Raven Roberts will face both Caroline and Madison Kaline in a Triple Threat match! A match that could lead to endless possibilities! Maybe, a future shot at a World Championship? But, that match will consist of some of the hungriest women on the Showdown brand. Raven’s got her work cut out for her.
Eve: Raven Roberts returned back in December to be Madison Kaline’s mystery partner as she faced the sub-group of The Devolution, The British Invasion. While they were partners then, it’s every woman for themselves at King of Elite.
Deadprez: Raven Roberts hasn’t looked better. She hasn’t missed a step. Due to her absence, we’ve had a plethora of female Elitists arrive on the scene, so I’m interested to see how this match is going to go down. I bet that Caroline and Madison are lurking and observing this match going down.
(‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ by Yoko Takahashi begins to play as the crowd seems to go from cheers to boos in an instance as Usagi Senshi comes from the back with a focused look on her face.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM FUKUOKA, JAPAN..SHE IS THE ‘STARBOY’…USAGI SENSHI!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: At Road to Redemption, Usagi Senshi pulled out one of the biggest feats of her small career as she managed to defeat ARIA in a ‘Trip to Purgatory’ Match. While it was thought to be a bit of an assistance from Pandora Paisley of The Devolution, it was the right thing to propel Usagi into the Universal Women’s Championship picture and speaking of the Universal Women’s Championship, welcome, Minerva!
(Minerva is sitting next to Deadprez. She has a headset on as the Universal Women’s Championship is placed on the title belt holder on top of the table.)
Minerva: Thank you, Gavin. Don’t mind me, but I’ll be doing a bit of scouting here and see what the fuss about Usagi Senshi is all about. Also, I don’t mind paying a visit to my good ole friend, Raven.
Eve: There’s a ton of history there, but your match with Usagi Senshi at King of Elite will be next weekend, so what are your thoughts on Usagi Senshi?
Minerva: She’s a snake. A user. Someone who will use someone and toss them aside when they serve no purpose. Nothing more than someone who had their innocence corrupted. I was like her once. I once thought that the world was a beautiful place. All sunshine and rainbows, but reality struck me, Eve. Just like it did for Usagi, but I’m the only one to become better because of it and you’ll see that at King of Elite once more. Although, Usagi has a moment to get her victory back from Tempest. While she can go on about being fully transformed, I am as well.
Deadprez: It seems like those are the same sentiments of our EAW fans, who didn’t like that Usagi turned her back on ARIA, a beloved fan favorite. Now, Usagi is going to need to prove that she is on the right path to be champion! I can’t wait to see all of this unfold!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Well, Minerva, it seems like you’ll be in for a treat! Usagi Senshi and Raven Roberts are face-to-face in the middle of the ring —
Eve: USAGI SENSHI SHOVES RAVEN ROBERTS AS THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION DID NOT LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER! RAVEN CONNECTS WITH A SHOVE IN RETURN AS USAGI HAS A FIRED UP SMIRK ON HER FACE AS SHE THROWS A FOREARM TO RAVEN! BUT, RAVEN THROWS A FOREARM OF HER OWN! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE TRADING FOREARMS WITH EACH OTHER, TRYING TO GET THE OTHER ONE TO GO DOWN!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi goes for another forearm, but Raven Roberts manages to get Usagi’s fist before it collides with her fist! RAVEN TWISTS USAGI AND CONNECTS WITH A JUDO THROW, SENDING USAGI IN FRONT OF HER! BUT, RAVEN MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE WRIST! SHE LIFTS USAGI AND THEN, CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER JUDO THROW! USAGI’S ARM IS TOTALLY GOING TO FEEL THAT IN THE MORNING! RAVEN GRABS USAGI UP TO HER FEET AND CONNECTS WITH A THIRD JUDO THROW, LEAVING USAGI IN A SEATED POSITION!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts gets in front of the number one contender for the Universal Women’s Championship and connects with a back handspring into a dropkick to the face! Usagi goes back as Raven quickly goes for the first pinfall attempt of the match!
ONE!!!!
Eve: Usagi Senshi with a quick kick out! Raven Roberts gets Usagi before applying a headlock take down! But, we see that Usagi is able to roll herself to a crawling position, but Raven maintains the headlock as she gets herself to her knees! We see that Usagi is trying to shove Raven’s side, so that she crashes onto the ropes, but Raven connects with an elbow drop to the back of Usagi’s head! This takes Usagi back down! Raven finds herself up to her feet as she stalks Usagi up! Raven connects with a powerful clothesline that takes Usagi to her knees! Then, we see Raven pick up Usagi and connect with a t-bone suplex! The number one contender goes down!
Minerva: I’m trying not to overlook Usagi, but Raven seems to be looking good. Usagi needs to find a way to slow down Raven’s pace. But, you could see that this is definitely someone who needed the few years off the road to hone her craft.
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi is clutching her lower back as she finds herself back up to her feet! Raven Roberts stops Usagi with a knee to the gut before picking up Usagi and connecting with a gut wrench suplex! This takes Usagi down! Raven follows that up with a basement dropkick to Usagi’s face! Usagi falls to her back! She isn’t looking too good at the moment! I know that she approached this match with wanting to show you something to worry about at King of Elite —
Minerva: And, am I worried, Deadprez? If anything, I’m worried for Usagi because if she can’t handle Raven Roberts, what makes her think that she’ll be able to handle me? Tempest was her opportunity that she had waited for and she fell short of the prize. Even then, I was less than 100% during our last bout and came out on top. She needed FOUR women to take me down just a few weeks ago. I only need myself to take her down.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a good point there! Raven Roberts stalks Usagi Senshi back to her feet as Raven charges forward, looking to connect with ‘The Facelift’ — the spinning heel kick! NO! USAGI MANAGES TO DUCK AS RAVEN STUMBLES FORWARD, NOT BEING ABLE TO CATCH HERSELF FROM FALLING! USAGI CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF RAVEN’S KNEE, TAKING HER DOWN! SHE BEGINS TO DELIVER A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO RAVEN’S FACE! SHE GRABS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION UP BY HER HAIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SERIES OF RAPID KICKS TO HER FACE! LEFT, RIGHT, UP AND DOWN! USAGI IS NOT GIVING RAVEN A CHANCE TO BREATHE HERE!
Eve: Usagi Senshi manages to top all of that off by connecting with a spinning elbow to the side of Raven Roberts’ temple! Although, it doesn’t cause Raven to stagger down! If anything, she manages to keep her balance as Usagi realizes that it did not take her down! Usagi runs towards Raven, but Raven takes her back with an elbow! Raven sees Usagi rushing forward towards her as she connects with a side-handed chop to the chest of Usagi! BUT, USAGI HAS NO RESPONSE TO IT, DELIVERING A CHOP TO THE CHEST TWICE AS HARD AS RAVEN’S WAS! BUT, RAVEN RETURNS THE FAVOR BY DELIVERING AN EVEN HARSHER CHOP TO THE CHEST! THIS FIRES UP USAGI AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT AS SHE SENDS ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ STUMBLING DOWN TO HER KNEE! USAGI PULLS RAVEN CLOSER TO HER BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SNAP DDT!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi tops it all off by connecting with a double foot stomp on the stomach of Raven Roberts! That ought to hurt! Usagi goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTT—
Gavin Kirkland: A kick out by Raven Roberts! Usagi Senshi is turned towards you! She rises up from her feet and she’s gesturing for you to step inside the ring.
Minerva: Maybe Usagi should be focused on defeating Raven Roberts? After all, that’s the match that’s happening at the moment.
Eve: Raven Roberts is slowly rising to her feet as she uses that little opportunity that Minerva had presented her by grabbing Usagi in position and taking her back with a snap dragon suplex as she sends her back! No! Usagi manages to flip herself as she stands behind Raven! She has Raven in an inverted position as she drops her down with an inverted DDT! Now, that was a counter there! Usagi with the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW—
Deadprez: Raven Roberts gets a shoulder up! She’s a former World Champion, New Breed Champion, Tag Team Champion and Ms. Cash in the Vault. It’s going to take A LOT to put down this woman!
Minerva: I’m not going to lie, Deadprez. Raven is one tough son of a bitch. I give her credit for that. Yes, she can be annoying, but she’s a damn good wrestler. I’m not gonna take that away from her. I know that Usagi is talented. She has it in her to be a champion, but King of Elite will not be the time and place to make that happen. I’m fully confident in my skills to get the job done.
Gavin Kirkland: If I were Raven Roberts, I’d take that compliment. But, I’m someone who takes ANY compliment that gets thrown in his direction. Usagi Senshi gets Raven and grabs her by the waist! The ‘ACE-PLEX’ — the high-angle throwing German suplex to Raven! Now, that looked quite brutal there! I think that Raven might have landed on the back of her neck, but we can’t be so sure! But, look at Raven! She slowly rolls to her knees, trying not to let the pain faze her as Usagi connects with a running sliding clothesline as the former World Champion is taken down! Usagi is looking towards your direction, Minerva!
Minerva: Focus, Usagi. You can have me all to yourself at King of Elite.
Gavin Kirkland: How about me—
Minerva: Shut the fuck up.
Gavin Kirkland:
Eve: I think that you did us a favor there, Minerva. Usagi Senshi turns her attention from you and back to Raven Roberts! She manages to get Raven up by her chin as Usagi is muttering a few things to Raven! She slams Raven back against the turnbuckle at the corner! Usagi begins to connect with a series of shoot kicks to the body and face of Raven! Raven is doing what she can to stop it, but Usagi’s kicks are so rapid! Raven is trying to shield herself, but Usagi is nailing her with full force and speed with those kicks! The one last kick manages to cause Raven to stumble forward! Usagi hooks Raven by the arm and connects with a hip toss! Usagi nails a meteora to the back of Raven’s head!
Deadprez: I think that did a bit more to the back of Raven Roberts’ neck! Like, Usagi Senshi’s entire weight forced Raven’s neck to go forward! Now, Usagi manages to grab Raven by one of her arms as she begins to connect with a series of shoot kicks to the side of Raven’s head! Usagi is holding onto Raven’s arm as Raven is kept perfectly still as Usagi is nailing her with those shoot kicks! Then, Usagi grabs Raven’s arms by the wrist and pulls her closer, nailing a knee strike to her skull! The force of that knee strike forced Raven to collapse and landing on her face!
Gavin Kirkland: I’m just going to pretend that Minerva is not glaring at me to not say another unorthodox thing. BUT, USAGI SENSHI WAITS FOR A TINY MOVEMENT FROM RAVEN BEFORE CHARGING TOWARDS HER AND CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING ARM BREAKER! SHE HAS RAVEN BY HER ARM AT THE MOMENT! ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN AS USAGI HAS RAVEN AWAY FROM THOSE ROPES! But, Raven’s long limbs give her a bit of room to turn herself towards her right and connect with a huge punch to Usagi’s face! You can still see that Usagi is holding onto that arm bar, refusing to let go of it! But, Raven is trying to look for the strength in her to get herself up to her feet! She manages to pick up Usagi, who still has the arm bar, but she is also getting herself back to a vertical base at the same time! The strength of Raven Roberts is commendable!
Eve: Raven Roberts manages to hoist Usagi Senshi up as Usagi is shaking her head “no,” realizing that she has found herself in a position that she does not want to be in at all! Raven begins to hoist up and get Usagi in position for a powerbomb! Now, that is a good counter right there! But, Usagi manages to slide backwards on the shoulders of Raven! SHE COUNTERS WITH A REVERSE FRAKENSTEINER AS RAVEN GETS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! NOW, THAT WAS A GREAT COUNTER THERE! RAVEN GETS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! THIS MIGHT CREATE A BIT OF A CONFLICT GOING FORWARD INTO THIS MATCH! USAGI FINDS A WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE PULLS RAVEN CLOSER TO HER! USAGI SIDEWALKS THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTS WITH A TORNADO DDT!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi finds herself back on her feet! She heads for the top rope! She is going high risk, everyone! This might be something that you keep your eye on, Minerva!
Minerva: I am glued to my seat.
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI SENSHI, FROM THE TOP ROPE, CONNECTS WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE SKULL OF RAVEN ROBERTS! RAVEN DROPS DOWN AGAIN AS USAGI GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: No! Raven Roberts with a kick out! Usagi Senshi grabs Raven up to a seated position as Usagi begins to throw some elbows to the top of Raven’s head! Then, she proceeds to apply a chin lock on the former World Champion! Usagi is now looking at wearing down Raven! Raven looks to be in an immense amount of pain as Usagi is telling Raven to just give up! But, do you really think that Raven would be so willing to throw in the towel here?
Minerva: No and that’s what makes her annoying. It takes almost everything in you to make sure that she stays down. Usagi, on the other hand, is someone who thinks that she is on the level of Raven. While talented, she has some way to go before she could call herself a World Champion level talent. Maybe, it will happen at King of Elite. Maybe, not. That’s just me entertaining those thoughts.
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi pulls back Raven Roberts before releasing her as Raven springs forward and lands on her face! Usagi is glaring right at you again, Minerva. She turns her attention back to Raven before pulling her closer and connecting with a wrist lock suplex! Raven is stumbling back to her feet, but Usagi takes her back to the ropes by connecting with a shotgun dropkick! Raven collapses down to a seated position! Usagi places her foot on the throat of Raven for a corner foot choke! It seems like the referee may need to begin counting here.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi slowly backs again from Raven Roberts, giving her a bit of breathing room! Raven tries to get herself out of the corner, but Usagi manages to get Raven and place her head on the middle rope! Now, we see Usagi choking Raven with the ropes, but she is looking at you, Minerva! She is looking at you as she chokes the living hell out of Raven!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! BACK OFF, USAGI!
Eve: Usagi Senshi is staring daggers at you, Minerva! She looks at Raven Roberts, who is still in the position that she left her in as she charges towards Raven and connects with a tiger feint kick to Raven’s head! This takes Raven back as Usagi springboards off the top vertical rope and connects with a flying forearm to Raven, knocking her down! NOW, WE SEE USAGI LOOKING TO TOP ALL OF THIS OFF WITH ‘MOOD SWINGS’ — A CARTWHEEL SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB AS SHE PLANTS RAVEN ON HER SHOULDERS FOR THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
T—
Deadprez: Raven Roberts with a shoulder up! But, Usagi Senshi is doing her best not to be phased! SHE RUNS TO THE CORNER, SPRING BOARDING HERSELF OUT OF IT AND CONNECTING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK — ‘TIME DEFICIENCY!’ ONE OF USAGI’S GO-TO FINISHERS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WON’T DO THE JOB FOR THIS GO AROUND! RAVEN MANAGES TO GRAB ONE OF USAGI’S LEGS AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING FOR A KNEE BAR! SHE IS LOOKING TO STOP USAGI IN HER TRACKS WITH A KNEE BAR!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, USAGI SENSHI RACES FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE LAST SECOND! Usagi was able to put a stop to all of that before Raven could fully apply the submission hold! The referee is backing away Raven from Usagi, hoping to find Usagi good enough to get up to her feet! As soon as Usagi finds herself to her feet, she races past the referee connecting with a forearm smash across Raven’s face, following that up with a European uppercut and then spinning back first! She tops all of that off with a roundhouse kick. Usagi likes to call that ‘The Elite Combo’ as she goes for the cover on Raven! Could this be it here??
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTT—
Eve: RAVEN ROBERTS IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH!
Minerva: She better be. I’ve hit her harder than that. If Usagi isn’t careful with me, I’ll knock her so hard, she’ll think that she’s in Japan again.
Deadprez: :roman: You’re really direct with your words.
Minerva: I’ve never been the woman to sugar coat. Not really my taste. Not even with coffee. I prefer my coffee as black as my soul.
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi is slamming her hands against the canvas as she realizes that she needs to put down Raven Roberts and she needs to put her down NOW! She slowly begins to back away to the horizontal set of ropes! Her eyes are never leaving Raven Roberts, who slowly begins to make her way back to her feet! Usagi launches herself forward — ‘FATALITY’ — THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! BUT, RAVEN CATCHES HER WITH THE ‘HUNTRESS BOMB’ BY SURPRISE! THE SITOUT SPINEBUSTER! USAGI IS CLUTCHING TO THOSE RIBS AS SHE GETS HERSELF OUTSIDE OF THE RING! THIS MIGHT BE A SMART APPROACH, BUT —
(Usagi Senshi is with an evil grin on her face. Minerva stands up from her seat, not backing down from Usagi. Usagi is clutching her ribs, but it will not stop her from getting her hands on Minerva, if it needs to come to that. Usagi begins to rise to her feet as…)
Eve: ‘FLIGHT DESTROYER’ FROM THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! RAVEN ROBERTS TAKES DOWN USAGI SENSHI WITH A SUICIDE DIVE INTO A CANADIAN DESTROYER TO THE OUTSIDE! USAGI HITS THE BACK OF HER HEAD ON THE FRONT OF OUR TABLE! RAVEN DELIVERS A LOUD BATTLE CRY, HYPING UP THE CROWD AS THEY’RE ON THEIR FEET TONIGHT! BUT —
(Raven Roberts stares down with Minerva. There is a ton of history brewing with these two women. It began with Minerva cashing in her Iconic Cup on Raven. A rematch at that following Grand Rampage with Minerva escaping with the title and what seemed to be the conclusion to all of that with their main event match at Pain for Pride, which lead to a downhill spiral by Raven that she was able to redeem by defeating Minerva in a Barbed Wire Massacre the a couple of seasons later. To say that these two women have been through everything and made it so personal is something that the EAW Universe remembers.)
Deadprez: You can cut the tension with those two with a knife, but tonight is not all about rehashing old wounds. Both of these women have healed themselves over the past couple of years and I don’t think that it’s worth going through all of that again.
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI SENSHI RISES TO HER FEET AS SHE TURNS RAVEN ROBERTS AROUND! USAGI CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! BUT, RAVEN GIVES A FOREARM TO USAGI BACK! RAVEN IS NOT BACKING DOWN FROM THE CHALLENGE! USAGI CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM! RAVEN CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM, BUT USAGI MANAGES TO DUCK THE FOREARM! RAVEN STUMBLES FORWARD AS USAGI HAS A PRETTY GOOD HOLD ON HER AS SHE THROWS RAVEN INTO MINERVA!
(The camera that was focused on Minerva goes down with Raven Roberts colliding on Minerva. If anything, this clearly pisses off Minerva, who throws Raven to the side as she launches herself at Usagi Senshi!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION GOES RIGHT AFTER HER NUMBER ONE CONTENDER! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE THROWING SHOTS AT EACH OTHER, TEETERING THE OTHER BACK EACH TIME! THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC AS USAGI AND MINERVA CAN’T WAIT UNTIL KING OF ELITE! THEY WANT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: AND, IT SEEMED LIKE RAVEN ROBERTS WANTED TO JOIN IN ON ALL THE FUN! I DON’T THINK THAT SHE APPRECIATED BEING THROWN TO THE SIDE LIKE YESTERDAY’S PIECE OF TRASH! AS SOON AS USAGI GOES DOWN, SHE PULLS MINERVA BY THE HAIR AS SHE JOINS USAGI IN ALL OF THE MAYHEM! I DIDN’T THINK THAT THESE TWO WOULD GET THEIR HANDS ON EACH OTHER BUT —
(Out of completely nowhere, Caroline is standing behind Raven Roberts. It’s unclear on how and when Caroline appeared, but Raven is completely oblivious to the blonde standing behind her.)
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN ROBERTS GETS TURNED AROUND AS CAROLINE MAKES HER EERIE PRESENCE FELT! CAROLINE WITH A HEADBUTT ON THE FOREHEAD OF RAVEN! BUT, RAVEN BEGINS TO DUKE THINGS OUT WITH CAROLINE! THE TWO WOMEN BEGIN TO THROW PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER! THE REFEREE AT RINGSIDE HAS COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THESE FOUR WOMEN AT RINGSIDE! WE HAVE RAVEN AND CAROLINE BRAWLING WITH EACH OTHER! WE HAVE USAGI CHOKING MINERVA OUT WITH A CHAIN THAT SHE GOT FROM UNDERNEATH THE RING! SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESTORE ORDER IN ALL OF THIS —
(At the perfect timing, the crowd immediately begins to boo at the referees and security running down the ramp to separate the four women from beating the holy hell out of each other. All four of them are being pulled in opposite directions. Caroline doesn’t mind being held back as she just stares at Raven near the barricade on one side of the ramp. Raven is delivering some trash talking to Caroline from the timekeeper’s area. Then, we have Minerva being escorted out of the ring and up the ramp, but something seems to be missing …)
Eve: USAGI SENSHI IS BEING BACKED AGAINST OUR TABLE AS SHE NOTICES THAT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP HAS BEEN DROPPED AFTER SHE THREW RAVEN ROBERTS TO MINERVA!
(Usagi Senshi picks up the Universal Women’s Championship and glares at it with a smile before raising it over her head. She is trash talking Minerva over the set of security who are trying to restrain her. Minerva is yelling to Usagi that the title doesn;t belong to her.)
Deadprez: Could this be what we could expect after King of Elite? Could Usagi Senshi become Universal Women’s Champion? Or will Minerva find her first victim in her title reign? Who will come out on top in the Triple Threat consisting of Showdown’s talented women? Caroline? Raven Roberts? Or will it be Madison Kaline?
Eve: That is all the time we have here! Stay tuned next weekend for King of Elite! Signing off for Gavin Kirkland and Deadprez, I’m Eve! Goodnight from Montevideo, Uruguay!
(The last shot is of Raven Roberts, Caroline, Minerva and Usagi Senshi staring at the Universal Women’s Championship before throwing it at Minerva’s feet while she is being held back by security. All four women are fired up and ready for King of Elite.)
